FILBEYIn appreciation ofa lifetime of serviceto the UniversityIT IS a widely recognized truth, although seldomtaken into account in college administration, thateducational administration is too important a service to be subordinated to teaching. Yet administrationin colleges and universities is often delegated to personswho are overloaded with teaching duties and who donot possess the special qualifications needed for executivework. A study of the remarkable success of Vice-President Emery T. Filbey, who retires from office June 30,1944, after thirty-five years of service with the Universityof Chicago, twenty-five of which have been spent as afull-time executive, completely refutes the idea that important administrative responsibilities can be satisfactorilycarried on by part-time or untrained administrators.Vice-President Filbey has served the University ofChicago in many administrative capacities: Head of theTechnical Division of the University during World WarI, Dean of University College, Director of the AmericanMeat Institute, Assistant to Presidents Max, Mason andRobert M. Hutchins, Dean of the Faculties, and, since1937, Vice-President. In all these positions his skill asan administrator has been generally acclaimed.Some might attempt to explain his outstanding success as a college executive merely by claiming that he isnaturally gifted with administrative qualities. Such astatement, although correct, is wholly inadequate as anexplanation of his successful career. A careful study ofhis life reveals that much of his success can be tracedto sound education and early experience through whichhe acquired the comprehensive understanding of theprinciples of successful administration which have guidedhis procedures and practices.Of his many admirable personal qualities, three appearto have contributed materially to his effectiveness as anadministrator — unselfishness of purpose, respect for personality, and fair-mindedness. Each of these qualitiesmerits brief consideration.His entire career is conspicuous by the absence of self- seeking and by a constant regard for the welfare andinterests of others. In his ^thirty-five years of service atthe University of Chicago, he has never sought a position, and he has worked in each position as though itwere his lifetime assignment. This unselfish spirit notonly has been an important factor in his professionaladvancement but also has been the reason for the general respect accorded him by the faculty and administrative officers of the University.In his administrative relationship, the effect of a decision on the personality of a caller has always receivedhis fullest consideration. He has keenly realized theimportance of morale as a factor in the productive workof the members of the University community and hasfully recognized that, when administrative decisions result in a lowering of morale, administration fails in theaccomplishment of its major purpose. Accordingly, fewpersons have ever left his office, even when requests havebeen denied, without feeling that they have receivedconsiderate treatment. This explains the remark heardmany times: "Vice-President Filbey can say 'No' andmake a person like it."All who have ever had administrative dealings withVice-President Filbey have admired his even temperament and 'fair-mindedness. His freedom from bias andbigotry has uniformly insured those who have sought hiscounsel an impartial and unprejudiced hearing. As aresult those who have needed to consult with him havenever hesitated to present their problems freely, knowing that they would receive fair consideration.The Vice-President secured his early education in thecommon schools of Indiana, the state in which he wasborn. After graduating from the eighth grade, he prepared for teaching and first taught in the rural schoolsof his county while residing at home and helping hisfather with the farm. His liking for teaching caused himto select education for a career. He then attended theIndiana State Normal School at Terre Haute, from whichhe graduated in 1907. While there he developed an interest in industrial arts, which at that time was one ofthe frontier subjects in education. This interest stimulated him to take special work both at Bradley and Armour Institutes and led to his election as supervisor ofvocational education at Bluffton, Indiana, a school sys-34 T H E U NIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEtern made famous through the leadership of WilliamWirt, late superintendent of schools of Gary, Indiana.In the summer of 1909 he came to the University ofChicago to study under Walter Sargent and Charles H.Judd, the new director of the School of Education. Thesemen quickly recognized the educational promise of theyoung supervisor from Bluffton and offered him the headship of the Department of Industrial Arts of the University High School. While serving in this position, he continued his studies in the University. At that time thepolicy of the Admissions Office with respect to the adjustment of credits from other institutions was "tough." Asa result Filbey, like many others, found it necessary totake a full year of work to equalize the University requirements for the bachelor's degree. He completed therequirements for this degree and continued graduatestudy leading to the master's degree.Much of his graduate work was taken in the Department of Education. Here he studied under several brilliant teachers, who greatly influenced his philosophy ofeducation. This training probably accounts to a largerextent than anything else for the sound practices whichhave characterized all his subsequent administrative work.In his early experience on the farm and in the ruralschools, he acquired a keen sense of responsibility, whichwas further heightened by his supervisory duties at Bluff-ton and the University High School. Subsequently, as amember of the staff of the Department of Education, hewas given large responsibility for leadership in industrialarts and vocational education. At the time he was calledupon to head the Technical Training Division of the University in 1917, he was recognized as a leader in his fieldand as a man of great promise.All that has followed in his successful career has merelyverified the expectations of those who recognized hissterling personal characteristics, his sound common sense,and his peculiar fitness by training and experience for administrative work. The entire University is the beneficiary of the uses which the several presidents have wiselymade of his fine abilities.William C. Reavis, '08, A.M. '11, Ph.D. '25Professor of EducationWHEN Emery T. Filbey retires as Vice-Presidenton June 30, the University will lose an extraordinarily loyal and valuable officer. For thirty-fiveyears he has lived among us. He came to Chicago as ateacher in the Laboratory Schools, and demonstrated suchversatility of talent that, in succession, he has been a Professor of Education, Dean of University College, Professorin the School of Business, Assistant to the President, Deanof Faculties and, since 1937, Vice-President. In each ofthese positions he has won the confidence and affection ofhis associates. He has never shrunk from responsibility.He has never claimed credit for his achievements. Hehas simply worked hard, year after year, with undividedloyalty to the University and faithfulness to all with whom he has dealt. His modesty, approachability, andefficiency have been remarkable.One of the most difficult tasks in the President's Officeis the formation of the annual budget of the University.Only those who have participated in this job can realizethe thousand and one problems that are involved and theknowledge that is required for their sound solution. Mr,Filbey is something of a genius in this field. His familiarity with the whole institution is astonishing; hisconscientious attention to details is admirable. Everyonewho is well acquainted with him has the utmost confidence in his intellectual honesty and good sense.In addition to being an excellent vice-president, Mr.Filbey is a good neighbor and a wise adviser in the University community. There are scores of his associateswho are grateful for his thoughtful kindness to them.Perhaps there are almost as many who ought to be grateful for advice that was hard for him to give or decisionsthat were hard for him to reach. For, make no mistake,he has the courage of his convictions. The President oncefacetiously remarked that it was the duty of a vice-president "to do what the President hadn't the nerve to do."Mr. Filbey qualifies on this score — yet he performs unpleasant duties with uniform tact and good will.I am sure he would heartily welcome a period of complete rest and recreation. He richly deserves it. But, atleast as long as the war lasts, the University cannot sparehim. He has been appointed the President's Adviser onWar Projects, and we shall continue to enjoy the benefitsof his service and the pleasure of his company — and thatof his charming wife as well. A host of friends will joinme in congratulating them heartily on an exceptionallyfruitful career, and in wishing them long life, good health,and happiness.Frederic WoodwardVice-President EmeritusChicago SunPresident Hutchins presents three one thousand dollarawards for excellence in undergraduate teaching toProfessors John R.

Olson (left to right), all of the College.DOCUMENTARY DEVELOPMENTSTHE SENATE, TRUSTEES, AND PRESIDENT EXPRESS THEMSELVESPresident Hutchins' address, delivered at the Trustees' dinner to the Faculty and published in theApril issue of the Magazine, was full of suggestionsand recommendations relative to the future aperation ofthe* University. Some of the recommendations were unacceptable to a large number of faculty members. Eachluncheon table at the Quadrangle Club became an openforum. The billiard room sounded like a New Englandtown meeting with percussion accompaniment. It wasthe opinion of many a professor that the proposals of thePresident, if put into practice, would curtail or abolishthe executive rights of the faculty in the determination ofeducational policy. Groups of faculty members wrote letters to the President asking for explanations, assurances,and re-definitions. The President replied, meticulously,but unsatisfactorily, to his correspondents. Then camethe "Memorial" to the Board of Trustees, signed by 120full professors, approximately two-thirds of the membership of the University Senate.The Magazine takes pleasure in publishing the Memorial and with it the reply of the Board of Trusteesthrough its chairman, together with the statement madeby President Hutchins after the Board had taken itsaction.— EditorMEMORIAL TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEESRESOLVED, That the President be requested totransmit to the Board of Trustees the following Memorial on the State of the University, together withthe vote of the Senate on this motion.THE Senate of the University of Chicago is movedto deep concern for the well-being of the University, and especially the maintenance of itscharacter as a free institution of higher learning, by various recent acts and declarations of the President, notablyhis address of January 12, 1944, at the Trustee-FacultyDinner, and his subsequent statements of his views toindividual members of this faculty. In the address onJanuary 12, the President, reiterating ideas expressed theyear before in his Education, for Freedom, asserted thatthe University must be dedicated to a new "purpose" —a "crusade" to procure "a moral, intellectual, and spiritual revolution throughout the world" that would involvea reversal of "the whole scale of values by which oursociety lives." And in the same address, as "necessarypreliminary steps" to the accomplishment of this purpose,he proposed a system of educational and administrativechanges within the University which included the settingup of a new Institute of Liberal Studies to award thePh.D. degree as a degree for teachers, and the alterationof the constitution of the University so as to give to the President authority to put into effect educational policieswithout previously securing the approval, by vote, of theSenate or the faculties concerned.The Senate does not question the need of improvement, moral, intellectual, and spiritual, in the contemporary world, or the obligation of the University todo everything it properly can, through a broad dissemination of the spirit of free and competent inquiry, tobring such improvement about. The Senate, again, doesnot question the vital importance for American societyof achieving more intelligent and rigorous forms of general education and of training teachers for this purposewho will be at once experts in their subject matters andmasters of the arts of instilling good intellectual habitsin their students. Nor is the Senate under any illusionthat everything is perfect within the University itself, orthat there may not be many problems which require tobe examined afresh for the sake both of scientific andeducational progress and of efficiency and harmony ofadministration. In the solution of these problems, whichare likely to become more numerous and complicatedwith the ending of the war, the Senate believes that vigorous and responsible leadership, on the part of the President and of the Faculty, is an indispensable prerequisiteof success; and for this reason, just as it recognizes theobligation of the President, in the interest of the University as a whole, to exercise an unlimited veto over appointments and promotions, so it freely acknowledges hisprivilege, and indeed his duty, in the same interest, toinitiate proposals, and present arguments, for any reformsin education he may think desirable. For this reason,too, the Senate would welcome any suitable changes inthe administration of the University which would helpto infuse a greater vitality into its parts, to facilitatebroader programs of teaching and research, to sustainmore effectively the standards of its departments orschools,, to make easier the adjustment of the Universityto the changing circumstances of war and reconstruction,and to bring about a closer understanding and more fruitful cooperation, on administrative and educational matters alike, between ks officers and the members of itsfaculties.The Senate, however, holds these following principlesto be fundamental in the policy this University shouldpursue.. It believes that a great university like the University of Chicago, dedicated to the advancement ofknowledge through free research and teaching, cannotcontinue to prosper intellectually or to serve, in waysappropriate to such a university, the community ofscholars and citizens, if it is committed to any particularsocial, moral, philosophical, or spiritual ideology or otherspecific formulation of unity. The Senate is convinced,moreover, that if the University is to be safeguarded56 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEagainst the encroachment of dogma, as well as againsta progressive lowering of its standards, there must be continued control by its members, organized according tosubject matters in departments, divisions, and schools,over the appointment and promotion of those who areto give instruction or to conduct research in their respective fields. The Senate also is convinced that, whiletraining for teaching in .institutions of higher learning isan essential part of the graduate work of the University,the ideals both of intellectual freedom and of scholarlyand scientific distinction to which the University is devoted would be imperilled were it to confer its doctoraldegrees upon students who had not been adequatelytrained, by appropriate groups of experts, in the advancedmethods of inquiry proper to the subject matters theyhad studied and were preparing to teach. Lastly, theSenate holds that, although in the fashioning of programsdirected to these ends a conception of the University asa whole is always essential as a corrective of partial views,the determination of the programs themselves must beleft primarily to the judgment of groups of men experienced in both teaching and research in the particular subject matters involved. And for this reason, and also because the exercise of power in these matters without thefree consent of the faculty is bound to be ineffectual, theSenate believes that the educational leadership of thePresident must be a leadership achieved through discussion and persuasion, and that the fundamental constitution of the University, therefore, must be such as tosecure to the proper faculties and ultimately to the Senate, or other central academic ruling body, a decision onall proposals which substantially affect educational ends,policies, and organization of studies.The Senate, being convinced that a firm adherence tothese principles is an essential condition of the intellectual greatness of the University, as well as of its internalpeace, has been deeply disturbed by the apparent wish ofthe President to divert energies and resources of the University to the service of a particular formula of revolutionary change. Its alarm has been increased by his suggestion of a new graduate institute, based on a separationof education for teaching from education for research,which would presumably be endowed with powers of devising curricula and appointing instructors in subjectmatters already organized at the same level in the University, independently of the control of men whose ex-pertness is guaranteed in some measure by their membership in regular departments of instruction. The Senatefeels great concern at this proposal, as well as at variousother proposals relating to educational policy in the President's speech of January 12, although it would be prepared to consider all of them on their merits were theseto be fully set forth. And this concern has been furtherintensified by the fear that, if the principle of administrative reorganization advocated in the same speech wereto be accepted, action might be taken on these and similar suggestions without adequate effort to persuade andbefore effective advice, as expressed in a vote of the Sen ate or other appropriate academic body on the specificissues, had been secured, with the result that the Facultymight either be presented with the whole program as anaccomplished fact or kept in a continual state of alarmby a piecemeal introduction of its parts.The Senate, although it thinks it sees in the President'snew plan implications sharply at variance with the natureof the University as an institution of learning free fromcommitment to any specific formulation of the truth, hasbeen reluctant to believe that this interpretation of thePresident's words is actually in accord with his thought.The President, however, by various actions and statements subsequent to the speech of January 12, has tendedrather to strengthen than to allay the Senate's fears. Although urged more than once to do so, he has refrainedfrom calling the Senate into regular session to hear anexplanation of his program. He has not consulted theSenate or its Committee on Policy on either of the twomuch discussed measures relating to rank and "contractwhich he recently recommended, or announced his intention of recommending, to the Board of Trustees, althoughboth measures were among those which had been mentioned in his speech of January 12 as among the "necessary preliminary steps" to the realization of his new educational "purpose" for the University as a whole. And hehas not, in any of his recent speeches or writings, addedany concrete details or clarifications to the statements onuniversity administration he had previously made, exceptfor the comment, in his address at Northwestern University in February, that since professors in general donot take education seriously, and since the President isthe only one in a modern university who can see the university as a whole, it should be his responsibility to develop educational programs, and, with the advice but notthe prior consent of his faculty, to carry them into effect.Even these more recent signs of the President's intentions, however, were not sufficient to convince the Faculty that the crisis now rapidly developing in the University could not still be resolved, by mutual explanationand persuasion, in a manner satisfactory to both sides.The Faculty could not believe that the President wouldnot attend to the friendly advice, on matters of educational principle and policy, of the men upon whom hemust rely for the execution of his plan, or that he wouldbe reluctant to reveal his purposes in detail to those whowould be called upon to fulfill them. With a full senseof the gravity of the crisis, and seeking only clarity andaccommodation, a small group of members of the Senatetook it upon themselves to ask the President for a publicclarification of his aims, and, if possible, for such a restatement of them as would seem to the Faculty in general to accord, on all fundamental points, with the principles of educational policy which the Senate would holdto-be essential. The resulting correspondence has beencommunicated, with the consent of the President, to allmembers of the Faculty, and the general effect of his replies has been to increase still more the prevailing alarmconcerning the future of the University. The degree ofTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE /this alarm which many members of the Senate now feelmay be judged by the fact that, for the first time in itshistory (so far as can be learned), this body has beencalled into extraordinary session on the initiative of alarge number of its members in order to consider fundamental issues of University life.The Senate, in spite of all that has recently happened,does not despair of a happy resolution of the crisis suchas would enable the President and the Faculty, withoutsacrifice of essential principle on either side, to work together vigorously and in amity to the greater good ofthe University as a whole. The President himself, atthe end of the second of his letters to the Senators whowere in correspondence with him, seemed to leave opena prospect of harmony between himself and the Facultywhen he suggested the submission of a third plan of University organization, if there were any to propose, thatwould be more satisfactory to the Faculty than either ofthe two alternatives — namely, that the President shouldbecome either a "responsible executive" or a "Chairmanof the Faculty" — which he has laid before the Board ofTrustees over a year ago. The Senate, recognizing theauthority and responsibility of the Board of Trustees andbelieving that the Board would share its concern at thedifficulties the University now 'faces if it were fully cognizant of them, appeals to the Board for its active assistance, with the President and the Faculty, in developing acomprehensive plan for the organization of the Universitywhich, while making adequate provision for initiative andcorrection in educational matters on the part of both Administration and Faculty and for leadership on the partof the President, would explicitly safeguard those basicprinciples, set forth in this Memorial, without which, inthe judgment of the Senate, the University cannot continue to be great or free.The Senate, therefore, respectfully requests the Boardof Trustees to assure this body and the Faculty as a wholethat the University will not be officially committed toany "purpose" which would tend to subordinate, in reality or in appearance, its essential activities and programs,and the free choice of principles and methods of researchor teaching, to any particular formulation of moral, social, philosophical, or scientific values.The Senate further requests the cooperation of theBoard of Trustees in insuring that no proposals will beadopted, without the approval of the Senate, which wouldhave the effect (a) of undermining the independence andsolidarity of departments; or (b) of establishing newteaching institutes, with separate staffs and budgets, having authority to award higher degrees in subject mattersof fields which, in the opinion of the Senate, are alreadyorganized on the same level in regular departments anddivisions; or (c) of setting up in any field programs ofstudy at the doctoral level which do not include, as prerequisites for the degree, adequate tests of competencein the basic techniques of inquiry or research proper tothat field.Finally, the Senate respectfully requests the coopera tion of the Board of Trustees with a committee of theSenate in making certain that, in any contemplated reorganization of the University, provision will be made(a) for the constant exchange of ideas and advice, without dictation on either side, between Faculty and administration within a clear definition of educational policy,and also (b) for the formal submission of all proposedgeneral changes in educational objectives, curricula, andprocedures to the Senate (or some other legally established governing body representative of the Faculty) fordiscussion and approval, disapproval, or amendment, byvote, in advance of any action making such changeseffective or involving commitments difficult to reverse.The Senate, in addressing this Memorial to the Boardof Trustees, declares its conviction that the principles ithere urges and the measures it here advocates are minimum conditions of the further progress and healthy functioning of the University in a free democratic world. Andthe Senate, aware that the Board of Trustees has alwaysrecognized the primary responsibility of the Faculty inthe determination of educational policy, wishes to expressits belief that the Board, by giving the assurances theSenate asks for, would go far toward restoring, both in theFaculty and in the scientific and scholarly community atlarge, that confidence in the intellectual future of theUniversity of Chicago which is now so deeply shaken.The following members of the Senate, having read thismemorial, hereby signify their adherence to its principlesand recommendations:Adrian Albert, Professor of MathematicsWarder C.

Yntema, Professor of Statistics, School of BusinessJames W. Young, Professor of Marketing and Advertising,School of BusinessTO THE SENATETHE Board of Trustees acknowledges the receipt ofthe Memorial on the State of the Universityadopted and transmitted to it by the UniversitySenate. It is noted that the adoption of the Memorialshould not be construed as raising a question of confidence in the President. The Board recognizes the important part which the Faculty has played in bringingthe University to a position of leadership and shares thehope and belief of the Senate that a way can be foundfor more effective organization, of the University so that"the President and the Faculties, without sacrifice of essential principle on either side, may work together vigorously and in amity to the greater good of the Universityas a whole."The Memorial expresses concern lest the Universityshould be committed to a particular ideology or philosophy. The Board considers that the very concept of aTHE UNIVERSITY U k CHICAGO MAGAZINE 9"university" and the concept of "academic freedom" prohibit the imposition upon the University of any particular philosophy, and calls the attention of the Senate tothe history of the institution from its beginnings in regard to this aspect of academic freedom. The Presidenthas stated that he has no intention of committing the University to any particular philosophy. The Board stronglyendorses this statement as an expression of its own policy.In this connection, the Board is mindful of the factthat the University was founded by a group which, although strongly denominational, maintained with unwavering conviction that the University should be freefrom commitment to any particular dogma. The Boardtakes this opportunity of transmitting to the Senate astatement it recently had occasion to make, which, although primarily concerned with religious qualificationsof Trustees, seems pertinent as an expression of the spiritof free inquiry to which the University has always beendedicated.The Memorial expresses the concern of the Senate thatthe President under the Plans originally suggested by himmay be given broader power over "educational policies"of the University without adequate academic control. Itshould be noted by the Senate that the Committee on Instruction and Research of the Board of Trustees advisedthe committee elected to confer with it by the Senatethat the Committee on Instruction and Research did notregard the President's Plans I or II as satisfactory. Neitherdid the Committee believe that the suggestions of theSenate Committee were satisfactory. The President hasmore recently announced that he would lay aside PlansI and II in favor of a Plan III to be developed.The misunderstandings which appear to exist reflectthe fact that, either there are inadequate means of mutually informed understanding, or the existing means arenot sufficiently utilized. This is surely a problem forwhich a remedy can be found.The remaining questions raised by the Memorial referto the relationships of the Board, the President, and theFaculty. As the Senate knows, the Board, through itsCommittee on Instruction and Research, has been forsome time engaged in a study of these and cognate problems in the hope of developing a form of organizationthat will make for a more effective and more informedcooperation of Faculty, Administration, and Board. Itintends to pursue these studies actively. The Board is ofthe opinion that considerable progress has been made thusfar, and continues the study with confidence that a solution will be found without undue delay. In dealing withthis problem, the Board requests the continued cooperation and aid of the Senate through its elected Committeeon Academic Reorganization, unless the Senate prefersto designate another committee. The Board also plansto ask the cooperation and aid of representatives of theAdministration and others. In continuing these .studiesand conferences, the Board wishes to emphasize that itwill count upon those whose advice and help it seeks to lay aside any partisan views or interests and to look tothe total welfare of the University, having just pride inits character and standing and in its continued leadershiptoward new accomplishments in American education.The Trustees are proud of the achievements of theUniversity under the fifteen-year leadership of its President and the contribution that he has made to maintaining the highest standards of education, research, and academic freedom. They have confidence in his futureleadership and expect him to continue to administer theaffairs of the University in accordance with the existingconstitution and statutes until they are changed. TheBoard, with the cooperation of the President and the Faculty, is determined to uphold the high standing of theUniversity in teaching and research. Without such cooperation and mutual confidence, the best statutes whichmay be devised will be ineffective toward the development of the University as a. great and free institution.THE BOARD OF TRUSTEESHarold H. Swift, ChairmanSTATEMENT BY THE CHAIRMAN OF THEBOARD OF TRUSTEESFOR more than a year, committees representing theSenate and the Board of Trustees of the University of Chicago have been considering proposalsmade by President Hutchins for clarification of educational authority. Because the Memorial submitted to theBoard by the Senate at its meeting on May 22 is largelyconcerned with similar problems, the Board is suggestingto the Senate that the Memorial be referred to thesecommittees for consideration.The Memorial also expresses the concern of some members of the Senate that the University may be committedto a particular philosophy. The President has stated thathe has no intention of committing the University to anyparticular philosophy. The Board strongly endorses thisstatement as an expression of its own policy.The Board notes that the Senate has explicitly statedthat the adoption of the Memorial by the Senate shouldnot be construed as raising a question of confidence inthe President. The Board wishes at this time to expressits own confidence in the President and to recognize theeducational achievements of- the University during thefifteen years of his leadership. The Board expects himto continue to administer the affairs of the University inaccordance with the existing constitution and statutes,until they are changed.Harold H. SwiftSTATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT AFTER THEBOARD OF TRUSTEES MEETINGTHE organization of the University, which is neitherefficient nor democratic, has been under study sinceJanuary, 1943, by a committee of the Board and acommittee of the Senate, elected for the purpose at mysuggestion.

HUTCHINS has become so dangerous acharacter to the vested interests of educationthat a national vigilante organization againsthim has been formed, the Conference on the ScientificSpirit and Democratic Faith. This is not to be confusedwith such organizations as the Southern Association ofColleges and Secondary Schools, or the American Association of University Women, or the National Conferenceof Church Related Colleges— all of which denouncedMr. Hutchins when he went all the way for liberal education with the College of the University of Chicago.The Conference, however, might plausibly be confusedwith some of the educational factions at Columbia University, for Mr. John Dewey is one of its chief adornments, and Sidney Hook is prominent in it. But it alsohas recruited righteous saviors of the existing order fromsuch disparate institutions as the New York School ofSocial Work, Antioch College, Sarah Lawrence College,and the University of Illinois. The only common tiebetween the members of the Conference is their desireto stop Mr. Hutchins and his disciples, such as String-fellow Barr of St. John's College.The Conference is active on all fronts. It held a meeting in New York on May 27, at which a speech by Mr.Dewey was read. The Times quotes him: "Scientificmethod and conclusions will not have gained a fundamentally important place in education until they areseen and treated as supreme agencies in giving directionto collective and cooperative human behavior." Thepot of rhetorical tar has also been boiling in the columnsof the New Republic, in which on May 22 Helen Mer-rell Lynd of "Middletown" fame, and a member of theSarah Lawrence faculty, had a piece entitled "The Conflict in Education." This was followed in the same journal of June 12, by one on "Division in Education," byEduard C. Lindeman, member of the New York Schoolof Social Work. It is not, however, only the New Republic in which the vigilantes post their warnings; suchorgans as the New Masses, the Daily Worker, and PMhave frequently tried to ride Mr. Hutchins out of theeducational scene on their ideological rail.Mr. Lindeman may be taken as a fair example of thedoctrines which the Conference advocates. "The peopleof the United States . . . are moving irrevocably towardthe most profound debate since the issue of slavery divided the nation. . . . [On its economic side] stated inplainer words, the issue is between those who wish toreturn to what is now euphemistically called free enterprise and those who see the future in terms of orderlyplanning. . . . On its educational or intellectual side theissue lies between those who demand that all thinkingproceed from an authoritative base and those who believe that freedom to challenge authority is of the very essence of intelligence." Mr. Lindeman says he doesn'twant to imply that those who disagree with his senseof future progress in this country should be called"fascists." He thinks there are better words: "traditionalists," "authoritarians," "essentialists," "fundamentalists." More important than the names called is the detection of the doctrines of this movement, and "happily,this task of clarification has been undertaken by a groupof citizens operating as the Conference on the ScientificSpirit and Democratic Faith." Mr. Lindeman hopes thisfateful dispute may be conducted on a reasonably highlevel of intelligence and sportsmanship, but such amenities should not deter the Conference from speaking "plainlyand audaciously." What Mr. Lindeman means by sucha tone of voice is indicated in the next paragraph whenhe identifies the enemy as an organization called Education for Freedom, Incorporated. The very title, he remarks, fair-mindedly ignoring the title of his own group,induces confusion. The concept of freedom for whichEducation for Freedom stands, is "obedience to staticvalues incorporated in the classics and taught as theliberal arts." Mr. Hutchins, "one of the most facilerepresentatives, if not the leader, of this movement, inhis recent book, Education for Freedom, actually speaksof his program in the language of revolution. He accuses the present generation of having accepted the doctrine that men are no different from brutes, that moralsare another name for mores, that freedom is doing whatyou please, and that the test of truth is immediate practical success." Mr. Lindeman demands to know exactlywhere this doctrine has been taught and by what teachers. This rhetorical question is typical of the Lindemanapproach. Mr. Hutchins never said that these doctrineswere taught; he said they resulted from the exaltation ofmaterial values.On the other hand, Mr. Lindeman says virtuously, theConference faces the future with clear affirmations, espousing "not the tradition of classical metaphysics, butrather the .genuine tradition in which science is the searchfor truth, democracy the guarantor of freedom, and education the instrument of progress."This all is very bland and very noble and so very, verysimple. The distinctions Mr. Lindeman and his fellowpropagandists fail to make are likewise simple ones. Inthe first place, the College which Mr. Hutchins established is not committed to the great books as the coreof its curriculum. It is concerned with ancient booksand modern books, with ancient ideas and modern ones,and all in between. It" certainly will surprise both theCollege and the Divisional faculties, which since 1930have been working out the courses in the biologicalsciences and the physical sciences, that the College is authoritarian or that it rejects science. Mr. Stringfellow10THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 11OUR CENTENARIANON THE third Sunday in last December a slightbut patriarchal figure, with the high foreheadof a scholar, the eyes of a prophet, and a PrinceAlbert suit of the same general style that he has wornfor seventy-five years, mounted the pulpit of the FirstBaptist Church of Chickasha, Oklahoma, and read asthe text of his sermon, "But we also joy in God throughour Lord Jesus Christ by whom we have now receivedthe atonement."This was a momentous occasion inChickasha. It was not alone becauseFirst Baptist's Pastor Emeritus waspreaching for the first time since Memorial Day and that the radio wasabout to carry his words to the farreaches of the Sooner state, but itspeculiar significance lay in the factthat Dr. Elbert H. Sawyer, long retired to emeritushood, had comeback to preach to his friends of theparish in celebration of his hundredth birthday. To be sure, thebirthday fell on the previous Saturday, but to all Chipkasha the Sabbath seemed most appropriate fordoing honor to this Christian gentleman and beloved friend. The churchwas filled but the immediate audi- ELBERT Hence made up a small part of the thousands of formerparishioners, scattered from ocean to ocean, who didthemselves honor in honoring this militant servant ofGod.Elbert H. Sawyer was born in the charming villageof Milford, Michigan, on December 18, 1843. Hisfather was a ship's carpenter; his pioneer grandfatherbuilt the first sawmill in Michigan. Elbert got hisearly education in the local academy, but when seventeen years of age this schooling was interrupted andhe enlisted in the Union Army. In the next three yearshe took part in eleven major battles and was twicewounded. At Spottsylvania he had a premonition thathe would be seriously injured and on the night beforethe battle he promised the Lord that his life would bedevoted to His service after the war if he was spared from death. The next day a "minnie ball" struck himin the knee and he was carried from the field crippledfor life. Despite his physical handicap, he kept his bargain. He attended La Grange University, then Kalamazoo College, and completed his education for theministry in the Baptist Union Theological Seminarywhich was later incorporated as the Divinity School ofthe University of Chicago, being graduated with theclass of 1873. He held pastoratesin a dozen cities from New York toSan Jose, from Boston to Dallas, during the active years of his ministry.He founded and was president ofCanon City College in Colorado, aninstitution sponsored by the CivilWar veterans organizations. He wasforced to retire from active servicesome thirty years ago and movedwith his family to a farm at Minco,Oklahoma, in the near neighborhoodof Chickasha, where he was soon awelcome participant in the activitiesof church and community. Forthirty years he has devoted much ofhis time to writing. Even now hedoes his own typing and proof reading. He has written and publishedthree books since he was 85 years old.His latest work published in 1942 has the title, Lifeand Teachings of Sawyer. At 96, Dr. Sawyer wasdriven fifty miles to hear "that young PresidentHutchins" talk to the Chicago alumni in OklahomaCity. To be sure that was not his sole purpose in visiting the state capital, for on the same day he addressedthe state convention of the Republican Party admonishing the brethren to make no alliances with theDemocrats. At 97 Dr. Sawyer made it his personalresponsibility that all fifteen Chicago alumni in Chickasha should contribute to the 50th Anniversary Campaign. At 98 he was doing duty as Adjutant Generalof the Grand Army of the Republic, and at 100 he isstill preaching an occasional sermon and lecturing onthe first Sunday of each month to the adult Bible classin his home church. May he live to a ripe old age,say we!SAWYERBarr can speak for himself, but one of the distinctivefacts about St. John's is that it is the only college whichrequires four years of laboratory science. But the significant flaw — or misrepresentation — in the premise ofthe democratic spirit and the scientific faith vigilantes isthat they refuse to acknowledge that Mr. Hutchins defines the end of liberal education as the ability to think.One who has been trained to think for himself is notlikely to embrace authoritarian conceptions or practices.He is not even likely to be deluded into believing thatby some automatic process science inevitably becomes thesearch for truth, democracy the unfailing guarantor offreedom, and education the enlightened instrument ofprogress. THE PRESIDENT'S STATEMENT(Continued from page 9)late and state his conception of the purposes of the institution. Nobody has to agree with the President's statements. The imposition of a particular doctrine wouldbe a violation of the perfect academic freedom which theadministration of the University of Chicago has alwaysguaranteed.It should now be possible for the Faculty, Trustees, andAdministration to resume the forward march of the University of Chicago toward the improvement of education,the advancement of knowledge, and the solution of theperplexing problems of organization in a great modernuniversity. Robert M. HutchinsNEWS OF THE QUADRANGLES• By CHET OPALSOMEONE neglected to extinguish the lights.If that anonymous immortal had done so, mostof the minutes between sunset and 10 P.M. Saturday, June 10, might have fallen into the pattern set onthirty-three Saturday nights in thirty-three precedingyears, and nothing, not even the war, could have changedthe face of the event.That event, you see, was the climax of the 1944 AlumniReunion. It was the Thirty-Fourth Annual Sing. Anddarkness might have removed those differences which warhad brought in its wake.There in Hutchinson Court, under the red-and-whitebulbs strung lit overhead and the University banner waving goodbye in the almost autumn breeze, from above theentrance of the Botany Building, the longtime alumnuscould say: Shut your eyes and this is it. The words ofthese songs haven't changed, and the voices haven'tchanged, and the singers haven't changed, and the onlychange is in the world beyond Hutchinson Court, andthat only because we have aged a little.A quartet near the central stand was singing "SweetRosie O'Grady" and, later, "Shortenin' Bread," and someof the music was squeezing between the arches and spilling into that outside world, but if your eyes were shutyou didn't know the quartet was ASTP.You didn't know, later still, when perhaps a hundredthroats were bravado with the song of Delta Kappa Epsilon, that among the singers were men in khaki and Navyducks, and if they weren't singing "Anchor's Aweigh" orthat Air Corps song with the earth-leap in it, it was because the occasion didn't call for that kind of music—not then, not at that moment. It was the fraternity sing.That was the important fact. It was the fraternity sing.There, too, the war had set its seal. The fraternity men,all of them, were singing together, giving the nod to eachother by singing each other's songs. Leo Terry set themusical stage by sifting out the fraternity tune on theorgan, and the communal choristers picked it up vocally.Thus did Phi Epsilon Delta, Phi Kappa Psi, Psi Upsilon,Beta Theta Pi, Pi Lamda Phi, Delta Upsilon, Phi GammaDelta, and Alpha Delta Phi hear each its own song.The baritone strength in the men's singing was tempered somewhat by an interlude of feminine choralling,with women of the Mortar Board hymning words set tothe music of a section of "Finlandia."The feminine element was most noticeable on the sloping greensward where, seated on tarp and on blankets (oron their coats), they made a surrounding wall of spectators. Among them, of course, were the inevitable soldierand sailor, collected with their buddies in solemn knotsof uniform, looking on, alien and somehow a part of itby the mere fact of their studying here and hereabouts. If our longtime alumnus was present when the Singopened, he knew Ned Earle, director of the Sing since itsinauguration, had called for a dedication of the eventto the 8,000 University men and women in the armedforces.If he remained on the scene until toward the close, heheard Army Capt. Ed Holzberg of the class of '34 interviewed on the events of the last 26 months of his life. Heheard Capt. Holzberg recount the experiences of threecampaigns in the South Pacific.And if the chill night air didn't drive him away untilthe end, until several minutes after Director Mack Evans'University Choir, balalaika-accompanied, rendered several numbers and led in the "Alma Mater,' he was reminded of the recency of D-Day and he heard a buglerplay Taps for the seventy men and women, former students, who had given their lives in World War II.For it was thus, with an admixture of the irremediablysolemn, that the eventful Saturday closed.Although, because of the war, the annual AlumniSchool had not been held, the preceding week had heldin it the traditional sequence of events. Save that earlierthe same day, at the Alumni Assembly in Mandel Hall,President Hutchins had broken precedent and spoken atlength. Foundation Chairman Harold J. Gordon had announced to Mr. Hutchins that individual gifts this yearalready totaled $130,962, as compared with the $120,000at the end of June last year, and a new record had beenset. It was not the largeness of the gift that thawed theusually brief Mr. Hutchins. He spoke warmly, as onewho had been relieved of a great burden — and indeed hehad, for only two days before, the Board of Trustees hadgiven him its vote of confidence in the face of a largequestion mark raised by a majority of the UniversitySenate.Mr. Hutchins thanked the alumni for their contributions. He seconded the praises given thirty distinguishedalumni awarded citations of merit for their endeavors onbehalf of "community, nation, and mankind." He toldthe alumni that he was grateful for their acceptance ofthe change he had wrought, that he felt this thanks deeplybecause he was rounding out his fifteenth year as president, and foresaw much travail ahead."You as stockholders in this great enterprise, the University, should have a report on that enterprise," he said— and proceeded to give it. Next year's budget, he reported, is three times that of the average pre-war year,mainly because of government expenditures. Militarygraduations this month are leaving the University withabout 1,000 Navy enlisted men, a group of medicalASTPs and "200 or so" Air Corps meteorologists. Thenew College, he emphasized, has been "an embarrassing12THE UNIVERSITY OFCHET OPALsuccess" and only limited facilities prevent next fall's College enrolment from being two or three times what itwill be.He referred Jo the recent controversy over the University's organization and outlined the two Plans, "recommended by the deans and the faculty," which wouldmake him either a "responsible executive" with power toinaugurate educational change or chairman of the faculty devoid of administrative function. Both plans, hesaid, had been discarded by the Board of Trustees on therecommendation of the Senate and Board committeeswhich studied them."I am," said President Hutchins, "devising a third plan.I am willing to sacrifice efficiency for democracy, but Ihope we shall be resourceful enough to combine bothqualities."Among those activities during the week in which thealumni participated under the guidance of ReunionChairman Nelson Fuqua '25, it would be difficult to select one to which reaction was more enthusiastic thanto the rest. The alumni attended the presentation of amodern American play in Mandel Hall on June 7. Thenext evening they massed 500 strong in a large WGNstudio and, after being addressed abbreviatedly by Walter Yust, editor of Encyclopaedia Britannica, and ShermanDryer, formerly of the University radio office, witnessedthe radio broadcast of "The Human Adventure." Thedrama was based on the studies of U. of C. ProfessorWilliam F. Ogburn into community life.Dinnertime June 9 found the class of 1909 holdingits thirty-fifth reunion in Hotel Windermere West. Manyof those who gathered for this event trekked later thatevening to Mandel Hall, where student and faculty representatives held forth in round table talk. The studentsdiscussed the workings of the new College, assaying themine of scholastic offerings and the broad liberal educational program which they were fulfilling in themselves.Unfortunately, some of the rhetoric that finds its wayinto round table jousting was absent: the- participants CHICAGO MAGAZINE 13were too much in agreement about the virtues of theCollege Plan.Professors John T. McNeill, Mortimer J. Adler andFrancis E. McMahon grouped about the round tablenext, to discuss "The Time for Peace." The verbal batonpassed back and forth somewhat swiftly, and like all debates (whenever more than one participant is still conscious at the end), there was no unanimity in the summary opinion. Professor Adler reiterated his distinctionbetween legitimate peace and an armed truce, not to beconfused with peace, and insisted peace would not comesooner than 2054, while Professor McNeill suggested advances in technology might make peace possible earlier.Mr. McMahon stressed the means toward the end and wasless grim in his view.On June 10, between the giving of the alumni gift andthe alumni Sing, the Classes of 1918 and 1924 held reunion lunches and the alumnae gathered at Ida Noyesfor a very successful buffet breakfast.AFTER FIFTY YEARSListed on the program for Saturday, June 10, was thefiftieth anniversary reunion of the class of 1894. Butthis is another story. It is the story of Dr. Samuel D.Barnes, of Los Angeles (and the class of '94) .In February, Dr. Barnes wrote to Alumni SecretaryCharlton T. Beck a long letter which follows in part:"As I have indicated to your sympathetic soul before,for twenty-five years I have vaguely promised myself thatwhen 1944 rolled around, if it ever did, I would give myself the pleasure of trekking to the U. to help in a celebration of the 50th anniversary of my class of 1894. Ibalmily assumed that there would be such a thing, assemi-centennials are not yet commonplace at the U. NowI begin to wonder whether this was mere ignorant presumption, in view of the revolution in Chicago curricula,... a program in which a boy or girl gets an A.B. degreeTWO [sic] years earlier than we did in the orthodox days.Class spirit used to be one of the things that kept a college or university going. But now. . . It's like the Irishman's preference for a railroad train over a steamship.For, sez he, if a R.R. train gets wrecked, there ye are; butif a ship gets wrecked, where are ye?"Dr. Barnes sugested (with inordinate shyness) that areunion of his classmates (graduates of the first "big"class) be called. He added in postscript that he had beentaking singing lessons for the past few years and couldrender such difficult basso numbers as the "Calf of Gold"from the opera Faust.Mr. Beck, responding without jealousy (for he, afterall, is class '04), sent letters to the eleven other knownliving alumni of '94. After an exchange of letters, it wasdecided to hold the reunion in Chicago. Only one '94' ercould appear — Dr. Warren P. Behan, interim minister ofTrinity Baptist Church, Marion, Ohio.Fine. Dr. Barnes arranged an extensive itinerary. He14 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEwould attend an alumni reunion at Beloit also. Maycame and he passed through Chicago, being too early tomake a stopover, and headed toward Washington. Twoweeks later he was at Beloit, where he spent three daysenjoying a get-together with old grads. Thence his itinerary took him to Terre Haute, Indiana, for a visit withrelatives. It was from Terre Haute, then, that Mr. Beckreceived the following message from Dr. Barnes :"Dear Carl: Your very kind letter, with the programfor next week, makes me weep when I realize that, afterall, I apparently am too sick to make it. That 'after all'means more than any one else can realize. It is not onlythat I have travelled 3,000 miles, all pointed toward theachievement of an ambition of 25 years or more; nowalmost at the door of it and on the eve of it, I am laidup with heart failure, brought on by over-exertion duringa severe cold or flu attack. A heart specialist here saysI must stay in bed and give up ideas of attending meetings in Chicago next week. Chief symptoms are weakness and £air-hunger' — suffer from both every night."Last evening after a cooling thundershower I feltbetter and my hopes rose — but I passed a miserable nightand feel worse today. So, dear boy, it looks as thoughyou and Behan will have to celebrate the reunion I wasso enthusiastic about. ... I still cannot realize it, that Ican be so near and yet so far. . ."Mr. Beck, sore distressed, conveyed this information tothe Reverend Behan, who replied that he would notcome. On June 5, Mr. Beck wrote Dr. Barnes:". . . . The whole celebration will lack the special luster that your presence would have lent. I do feel, however, that you are doing the wise thing in taking a goodrest at the present time. There is no question in my mindthat that is all that will be needed to put you back intofine condiion. It certainly gives me great satisfaction tobe able to give a layman's advice to a practicing physician. . . ."COLWELL NEW VICE-PRESIDENTAppointment of Ernest C. Colwell, dean of the faculties and of the Divinity School, as a vice-president of theUniversity of Chicago was announced late in May byPresident Hutchins. Prof. Colwell succeeds Emery T.Filbey, who will retire as vice-president with emeritusstatus July 1. Colwell will continue to serve also as deanand as professor and chairman of the department of NewTestament of the University. He has attained scholarlydistinction through his linguistic and manuscript studiesof the New Testament, continuing the tradition of Professor Edgar J.
