Inasmuch as comedy, however, has to dolargely with amusing stories, or those ending happily, Isuggest that the topic is more closely connected withtragedy, a "form of drama in which the theme issolemn, lofty, or pathetic, being an important action, orseries of acts, and generally involving a fatal issue of ahopeless struggle . . . involving . . . extreme and protracted suffering." In quoting this definition of tragedyI am speaking both lightly and seriously. On the onehand, to persuade Americans in general and educatorsand students in particular to realize the necessity forbecoming aware, and seeking basic knowledge, of Asiaseems, lightly speaking, "a hopeless struggle." On theother hand, unless the American people become aware,and permanently aware, of the manifold importance ofthe Janus-like position of their country — facing Asia aswell as Europe — and of the cultural and strategic as wellas the economic importance of Asia, there, will assuredlybe "a fatal issue of a hopeless struggle."A decade ago a friend of mine, by birth a New Yorkerbut for many years a prominent businessman in one ofthe most advanced of the Southern states, called on me.We had noi met for several years. Accordingly, he inquired as to exactly what I was doing in the Universityof Chicago. I replied that I was teaching Far EasternHistory and Institutions. He was obviously in doubtas to the meaning of my reply, so I explained that Iwas offering courses in the history of China, Japan,Korea, etc. He meditated a moment, and then asl^ed:"But why would pnybne want to know about those countries?" My friend's query did not greatly shock me, inasmuch as some years earlier, during the course of asummer afternoon's stroll on the lake front with a wellknown Visiting professor of history from England, I hadbeen asked to tell something of the marriage and otherfamily institutions of the Chinese. As I remember, Itouched briefly and objectively inter alia upon concubinage, and may have pointed out the difference betweenconcubines in the Orient and mistresses in the Occident —and the more fortunate position of the (legitimate) offspring of concubines in Asia to that of the (illegitimate)offspring of mistresses in the West. The only comment ofthe English scholar was, "Humph — a frightfully immoral • By HARLEY FARNSWORTH MacNAIRunpeople, the Chinese, aren't they?" — a reply which, likemany observations of Westerners upon matters Eastern,has always seemed to me more simple than sufficient.It should not be assumed, however, that complacenceof mind is peculiar to American businessmen and visitingprofessors from abroad. On beginning my work in thisUniversity in the summer of 1928, 1 requested that awall map of China be placed in my classroom. Aftersearch had been made, I was informed that the institution had none. A little later, request was registeredfor a wall map of Japan, and a like reply was returned.In fairness to the openmindedness and generosity of theauthorities petitioned, it must be added that such mapswere immediately procured.The unfortunate tendency, however, of maps throughthe ages to depict the earth as flatter and less interesting than it is probably accounts in part for the generallack of appreciation even by contemporary Western intellectuals, of the not wholly modern theories that theearth is one, and that it is approximately round. Todate there are few who accept and act in accord withthese truisms. Perhaps the best textbook yet producedon what Westerners call "ancient history," a book written by one of the greatest scholars ever connected withthe University of Chicago, all but ignores Asia eastof Mesopotamia, the islands of the Pacific, and theAmerican continents.Have you ever noted the titles (I do not ask whetheryou have read the books) in the late President Eliot's"Five Foot Book Shelf," generally and modestly knownas The Harvard Classics? Moreover, are you acquaintednot with the contents but with the titles of the "List ofClassics used at St. John's College, Annapolis, Maryland,"which classics constitute, I believe, one of the foundationsof learning in the new college of this institution, andnot only the foundation but a considerable part of thesuperstructure of learning at St. John's College? Acquaint yourselves, at your leisure, with these book listsand master the contents of the works included, and thenponder the place in the minds of the authors and list-makers concerned, and their knowledge, of Asian classics,"De status quo," according to the colored preacher, "amde mess we is in." With this striking definition to set thepace, Harley Farnsworth MacNair, professor of Far Easternhistory and institutions, spoke on the importance of understanding Asia to a recent graduating class of soldiersassigned to the University for special studies in Chineseand Japanese. Taking to heart his emphasis on thenecessity of seeking a knowledge of the orientals, we havefollowed this article with an informal letter from Sgt. StuartKenney, an alumnus stationed in China, who is apparentlyheeding Professor MacNair's admonition.The pictures reproduced in both articles are from thebeautiful boot, "China," by Kwok Ying Fung, (Henry Holtand Company, 1943).34 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEespecially those of Persia, India, China, Korea, andJapan. Apparently there are those in high places of theWest today who consider that non-Hebrew Asians havemade no basic contributions in the fields of militarystrategy, mathematics, the natural sciences, history andthe social sciences, philosophy and literature, despite theestimation that prior to the year 1900 there existed morebooks in the Chinese language alone than in all the otherlanguages of the world combined. After meditating uponthe book lists mentioned, you may, perchance, feel as didthe Paris hotel clerk who, having answered the queries ofan American just arrived regarding trains to Chartrcsand Reims, remarked "But, Monsieur, there are thingsto be seen in Paris!"While the twentieth century is predominantly an ageof specialization in knowledge and work, it is also an agein which a greater attempt is being made than at anyearlier period to acquaint man with his place in the universe and with his relation to peoples of his own andearlier times. Those interested in matters of the intellectcannot, for example, fail to be impressed by the evergrowing numbers of outlines of knowledge of all types:outlines of history, politics, art, science, religion, literature, and philosophy. "Art is long and time is fleeting" —never so fleeting as in the twentieth century. Thereforebrain-conserving and labor-saving devices must be invented and "art" must be shorn of non-essentials. Whatis left must be fitted into a Procrustean outline so that manflitting through the universe may absorb the maximumin his flight with the minimum of time and effort ofthought. The desire of partly democratized masses forinformation is shown by the fact that many outlinesarc listed for weeks and months as "best-sellers." Theyadorn the library tables of aspirants to membership inthe intelligentsia and are quoted by spokesmen of religion, harassed college instructors, political demagogues,and successful dinner hostesses. At times they rivalin sales the outstanding murder and sex thriller of themonth. While the research worker in pursuit of factsand ideas burrows his way through musty documentsor absorbs the odors of the laboratory, the shrewd literaryentrepreneur avails himself of the scholars' findings towax plutocratic and win passing notoriety.One of the most successful compilers of outlines is Mr.H. G. Wells who, in his works on universal history, hasattempted with considerable though incomplete successto portray the great civilizations and the leading nationsof the world in their relations with each other and intheir correct proportion. Mr. Wells appreciates whatmany makers of historical outlines and instructors in history have failed even to this day to appreciate, namelythat China, and India, and pre-Columbian America originated civilizations which were not alone great in themselves, but which made important contributions to contemporary world civilization.The idea of a "Chosen People," of "God's Own Country," of civilization as something peculiar to one's ownnation or village, and of all other peoples as barbarousand inferior is no less modern in its application by most peoples East and West than it is ancient in its originThe Jews of old claimed to be the "Chosen People";to the Hellenes, non-Hellenes were "barbarians." Theaverage Englishman and American of the present daylooks with pity, if not scorn, upon those not so fortunateas to have been born in the right country. Almostuniversally through the centuries the term "foreignerhas constituted an epithet of contempt. Han Yu, thegreat litcratus of the Middle Kingdom in the eighth ananinth centuries, was motivated in part by such ideas whenhe protested against the honors paid by the emperor to aBuddhist relic on the ground of its non-Chinese origin:"For Buddha," Han Yu is reported to have declared,"was a barbarian. His language was not the language otChina. His clothes were of an alien cut. He did notutter the maxims of our ancient rulers, nor conform tothe customs which they have handed down. . . ." Almosta thousand years later the Manchus and the Chinesewere first incredulous, then shocked, and finally extremelyannoyed at the claims of the outside peoples from theWest to be considered civilized and the equals of theinhabitants of the Middle Kingdom. The Western ideaof a family of nations in which all are equals was severalcenturies ahead of any to be found among the rulers ofthe Manchu dynasty.If the governments of the West have been, at least intheory, more open minded on the subject of equality ofpeoples and countries than have the nations of the East,Westerners in general have been little less satisfied andcomplacent regarding their superiority of race and culturethan have Eastern peoples. This is demonstrated, f°rexample, by the insignificant numbers and the tardinessof Westerners in studying the cultures and civilizations ofthe East. Backward along certain lines as most Asiaticcountries have been during the past few centuries, theyare generally ahead of the West in the matter of honestlyattempting to understand alien cultures. This is owingin the main to the educational services of religious andsocial workers from America and Europe in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. With no intention ofPeiping's Dome of August Space!\Camel's still tread the ancient roads.denationalizing the peoples of the East, or of making'hem lose respect for the best in their own culture — andin most cases without doing what they did not intendto do— Western educational, social, and religious workershave done much to bridge the mental gaps between Eastand West. There are now more in the Orient who appreciate the strength and weakness of Western civilizations than there are in the nations of Europe and Americawho are acquainted with the civilization and cultures ofthe East. Despite attempts to popularize knowledge ofAsia among the American people in recent years, it ism°rtifying and now tragically disquieting to observe howlittle intelligent appreciation there is in the Western^vorld of the vast reservoirs of learning in, and the grcat-ness of, the civilizations of the East. The editor of aPopular American magazine published some two decadesago the following astounding statement: "There is- only°ne first-class civilization in the world today. It is righthere in the United States and the Dominion of Canada.Europe's is hardly second-class, and Asia's is about fourth-to sixth-class." The only praiseworthy characteristic ofthis grandiose declaration is its brevity. A century and agarter earlier the great Ch'ien Lung emperor (1736-96)had used many more words in his mandates to Georgeftl to manifest a similar degree of ignorance.Not long after the appearance of the editorial justquoted, Dr. Julean Arnold, then commercial attache tothe American legation in China, while traveling and lecturing in the United States, severely criticized the American people for their lack of attention to the peoples andcivilizations of the Far East. "Tens of millions of dol-lars," said he, "have been spent upon educating Chineseto understand America and American ideas, whereas buta ^w tens of thousands have been spent in trying to educate Americans to understand China and things Chinese."It has been, and still is, an up-hill struggle in Europeand America to establish courses of study, either broad0r specialized, dealing with the cultures of Asia. Inearlier ages Asia looked upon Europe as an outlyingterritory occupied by barbarian peoples who did not count culturally or economically. After Europe in theeighteenth and nineteenth centuries outdid Asia in theconquest of nature and the race for power, Europe returned the compliment. Asia from its heights had lookeddown on Europe; Europe from its vantage point cameto look on Asia as its backyard. From the period of theWashington and Jefferson administrations the UnitedStates has wavered between an egocentric and a Europo-ccntric policy. Neither is commendable for a countrylocated as is the United States. Professor Gowen ofthe University of Washington once declared that theAmerican people "are coming to realize that the Atlanticis their neighborly side door toward their relatives, butthat the Pacific is their front door toward the world."Recent events have proved that Professor Gowen thoughtprophetically rather than realistically.The earliest Europeans successfully to make known toEurope something of the reality in breadth and depthof Far Eastern civilization were the Jesuits, with whoseerudite works all students of comparative cultures shouldacquaint themselves. Marco Polo indeed left an invaluable account of his experiences and observations in theCathay of Kublai Khan. For centuries, however, the immortal Polo received little credit for his pains. So enthusiastic were his accounts of the greatness of China and itsculture and power that for hundreds of years he wasclassed with Herodotus as a prevaricator supreme: ifHerodotus was the Father of Lies, Polo was considered tobe the Stepfather. Not until the nineteenth century did hereceive the credit due him not alone as a great travellerbut as an essentially accurate reporter who analyzedphenonena in perspective and balanced proportion.The writings of the Jesuits, who labored during theseventeenth and eighteenth centuries in both the provinces and the imperial capital of China some three hundred years after Polo, have formed a veritable mine ofinformation for European scholars from their own daysto the present. As scholars and gentlemen engaged inChina in the dissemination of European culture, they werequalified, as the majority of the traders who succeededthem as reporters were not qualified, to appreciate thetrue value of Eastern cultures and to realize that Westerners have a very great deal to learn from as well as toteach the Orient. Voltaire and Leibniz were deeply interested in and affected in their thought by the knowledge ofChina which had reached them through Jesuit channels.In his Discours sur I'histoire universelle, Bossuet made nomention of the Far East. For this he was severely criticized by Voltaire who, when the time came for him towrite on a similar subject, introduced his Essai sur lesmoeurs with an elaborate if not profound discourse onChina.Nevertheless, establishment in the West of courses ofstudy in the civilizations of the East have progressed butslowly. Approximately sixty years later Dr. Robert Morrison, first Protestant missionary to China, in the prefaceto his great Chinese dictionary wrote: "England, Holland, Portugal, and America have at present most intercourse with China; and their pecuniary interests are6 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEmost concerned. ... Is it expecting too much of theseseveral governments to devote a few hundred poundsannually to the cultivation of the language of the peoplewith whom they have extensive dealings ? Is it too muchto ask them to give some existence, in their publicschools, to a language which contains many thousandvolumes of original literature? Will the colleges anduniversities themselves not allow of any appropriationof their funds nor any encouragement to their leisuremembers to attend to this subject? Till a few individualsof correct sentiments and feelings, whose sole professionis literature and science, be supported by their respectivegovernments, or learned societies, to study and teach theChinese language, its character cannot be fairly estimated, nor can European science be transfused into it."During the past two generations Western academicinterest in the Far East has considerably developed. Thisis owing in part to the growth of trade between East andWest, and of Christian work in Japan and China especially. The collapse of the walls of exclusion in thesetwo countries, the placing of international relations on aformal and regular footing through the exchange of diplomatic and consular agents, the growing ease of transportation and communication with the bringing closertogether of East and West — all these are factors of importance. Chairs, or more often milking stools, in thefield of Far Eastern studies have been established inmany European and American institutions of higherlearning. The past two decades have witnessed a relatively rapid, but far from phenomenal, growth of interest in such studies in the United States. In 1928 theeducational committee of the American Council of theInstitute of Pacific Relations undertook a survey ofAmerican colleges and universities having for its twofoldpurpose (a) to discover the degree to which provision wasmade for the study of Far Eastern questions in Americanuniversities; (b) to stimulate on the part of universityauthorities a study of the degree to which their provision of facilities for the study of Far Eastern problemswas adequate in view of the rapidly multiplying con-tacs between the United States and China and Japan.The growing interest among Americans in subjects havingto do with Eastern Asia was revealed by the report that110 of the 546 institutions accredited by the AmericanCouncil on Education offered from one to twenty-sixcourses in this field. Clearly then oriental studies in thisworld power were as yet in little more than their infancy.Much is to be hoped and expected from the slowlygrowing interest of the West in the cultural life of theOrient. The interaction of East and West in the pasthas been entirely too much on the physical plane — hencea good deal of the friction which has produced heatrather than light and death rather than life. The timehas passed when any part of the world can cut itself off,physically or intellectually, from intercourse with therest of the world; it is as undesirable as it is impossible.The fact should be stressed that physical and intellectualexclusiyeness applies almost as fully to the West (especi ally including the United States) of the present day asit did in an earlier period to China, Korea, and Japan.There has been a groundless assumption on the part ofmany Westerners in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries that the West has little or nothing to learn fromthe East — that its duty and pleasure are to teach theOrient and that it behooves Orientals to sit at the feetof the West with becoming humility to receive instruction. Only a few Westerners, relatively speaking, havediscovered that they have much to learn from Asia eastof the Tigris-Euphrates, and some of them have reactedto the discovery with but little more grace than did theChinese of a century ago.The type of mind so common in this country, whichconsiders the American people to be physically invincible,intellectually mature, and culturally beyond adverse criticism is strikingly analogous to that which prevailed inChina toward the end of the eighteenth century, whenChina was entering upon a toboggan slide which itdescended until the year 1928. The fact should be recognized, however, that the type of mind referred to is notlimited to nationals of the United States as was indicatedby the reverses to the armed forces of the United Nationsin such areas as Hong Kong, the Philippine Islands,Malaya, Burma and the Netherlands Indies.Had the nominally "white" and "Christian" peoples ofthe West been informed concerning the cultures andstates of mind of peoples in the areas mentioned, it isextremely unlikely that there would have been the lossesof prestige, property, and lives which have been sustainedrecently and are still being sustained by Westerners andthe non- Western world.It is peculiarly unfortunate that the term Far East(which originated in Europe, and which, while correctfrom the standpoint of European chancellories, is a misnomer from that of the American Department of State)should have become current to the extent to which ithas in this country. As Japanese without good willtoward us, but with nonetheless distinguished effectiveness, have demonstrated since December 7, 1941, by attentions to the Philippine and the Aleutian Islands, theFar East is neither far from nor east of the United Statesand its dependencies. It would appear, therefore, morethan ever necessary for educators and those seeking education to consider a statement made by the writer in thespring of the year 1927:"It is safe to say that no other area presents as manycomplexities and conflicting policies ^as does the FarEast. In no other part of the earth are there at thepresent day such potent and dangerous possibilities. Concerning no other area does there exist such abysmalignorance or such flow of popular emotion and sentiment. Europe is so bound up in its own problems andhas so long been considered the earth's center of thoughtand power while American thought is so overwhelminglyEuropo-centric that, numerically speaking, only an insignificant minority know or care anything about developments in the East. Unless educators prevent it,THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 7Europe and America are likely to suffer as greatly fromego-centric thought as has China. And they will sufferwith less reason."American museums and libraries are paying ever increasing attention to the works of art and the less physical products of the mind of the peoples of the Orient.No individual with the slightest claim or aspiration to"education" can limit his study and interests to thelands, peoples, and cultures west of the Tigris-Euphratesriver system. The values to be derived from a study ofthe peoples of middle and eastern Asia, their philosophies,political and other, their religious developments, theirarchitectural forms, their potteries and porcelains, theirpainting and sculpture, and their literature are in thehighest degree important. The fact of continued widespread American lack of knowledge concerning themdoes not detract from their importance. Invincibleignorance does not affect the eternal verities. Onemight go on indefinitely citing this or that aspect of significance to the United States to be derived from thestudy of Asiatic and particularly Far Eastern history. Itis borne in mind, however, that among educators, asamong businessmen, there are those "hard-headed" and"(im) practical" ones who balance wisdom, culture, andknowledge in the scales with the weights of dollars andcents.Because of a combination of ignorance and complacence on the part of the man on the street, with atendency on the part of parochially-minded scholars togo esoteric in their ivory towers and to mumble, "I knowsomething I won't tell, ten little niggers in a peanutshell," studies in the fields of Asian culture have commonly come to be looked upon as mysteries, a wordphilologically connected with closed lips or eyes. Now amystery, like love, is something mysterious and thrilling.However, it is generally looked upon as something not aThe demigod Manjusri radiates mercy. part of everyday life, but rather as being apart from lifeand impenetrable. The interrelationship of mystery andignorance is made evident by the cheapest current detective story. Where there is a will to know, mysterieshave a tendency to disappear. It is strange how difficultit is for Westerners to realize that to ignorant Orientalsthey are as mysterious as either ignorant or wise Orientals are to them. The "inscrutable" face of the Chineseor Japanese is balanced by the "poker face" of theAmerican. Aside from "life" and "death" there is littlethat is mysterious if one takes the trouble to study. Thisis a truism — and trite — like most facts which are knownto us. The "mystery" of the "Far East" is but a creationof the ignorance of the West. Why should we of theWest quarantine and provincialize knowledge of theEastern world by special institutes and departments?The laws of God, nature, history, and economics applyin Asia as they do in the rest of the world. The earth isone and so is knowledge.Developments in the relations of Western and Easterncountries during the nineteenth century and the firstyears of the twentieth have demonstrated clearly that theage for isolation along any line has passed. Regardlessof the possibility of self-sustenance on the part of eitherwith respect to food supplies and other materials of aphysical nature, neither East nor West can live withoutthe stimulation of intellectual and cultural contacts.Each has much to learn and much to teach; there isno more place for pride than there is for undue humilityon the part of either. Emotionally unstable individualsmay go to either extreme — fulsome admiration for orcontemptuous dismissal of the culture of the other; theymay on the one hand feel it necessary to belittle theirown cultural background in order to show their appreciation of the other, or they may feel such ignorantpride in their own cultural background that they sneerat anything which differs from it. Either attitude istragically disconnected from accord with truth and reality.It is to be hoped that the too slowly changing attitudes ofappreciation on the part of considerable sections of Westand East with respect to the culture and institutionsof the other may be accelerated and continue indefinitely.As knowledge and appreciation of the worth of diverscultures and civilizations grow, the contributions whicheach has to offer for the wetfere of all will be increasinglyacknowledged and applied. As the intellectual andpolitical leaders of races and nations meet oftener to exchange experiences and the intellectual products of theirrespective countries and cultures, and as racial and national ignorance is supplanted by unified knowledge, itmay confidently be expected that the relations betweenpeoples will improve. Differences in cultures will not beironed out so that, as some appear to fear, a worldcivilization of deadly monotony will result. Rather willthere be an increased respect for the best in each culture,with consequent adoption, and adaptations accompaniedby a growing hut never fully attained unity, based on alessening but never vanishing diversity.AN AMERICAN'S APPRECIATIONOF CHINABy S/SST. G. STUART KENNEY, '27THIS is another of those form letters which I usedto cuss about 'way back when I was a civilian andtaxpayer; but it is about the only way I can answerall the letters I've received asking me to tell "all aboutChina." Actually, I know little about China, but forwhat it may be worth, I'll try to mention some of thethings I have seen in the small section of China I haveencountered so far.Nothing that I had seen in Africa, Sicily, Italy, Egypt,India, and points east had really prepared me for China,even though I came flying over the hump — the mostthrilling experience of a lifetime. Like all Americans,I thought that all Chinese look alike, but found thatthere are as many types as there are among the Caucasianrace. I even found some that looked exactly like Irishmen.I could write volumes on the good work that the missionaries of all faiths have done over here, and the greathelp they have been to us. Missionary money is the bestinvestment we can possibly make.The strength and patience of the coolies amaze everyone; they carry killing loads, yet always seem to havethe ability to smile and give a "thumbs-up," (nationalhand-signal), and greet us with: Hao bou hao — "Howis it with you, good or bad?" Everything is ting-hao(very good) with us; we can't return a surly greetingin the face of this endurance. At first, we got a thrillout of paying $50 for a haircut, $300 for a jinrikisha ride,$500 for a meal. But this is no joke to the Chinese.Only the black marketeers and ricksha runners are making real money while the white collar classes are suffering.The Chinese farmers raise their pigs until they arethree months old, blind them, tie them up to fatten.When ready, they put the hog on its back in a wheelbarrow, tie his feet, throw wet leaves over him to keep outthe sun, and push him to town. If they don't sell thehog, he walks back. They take new-born ducks, startwalking them to town; the ducks live off the land. Bythe time they reach town, the ducks are ready for market. Very neat, practical, economical — if the farmer'stime means nothing.Recently, we were favored by a program by the national Chinese symphony orchestra made up of refugeemusicians and the only symphony orchestra in free China.True, they hit many sour notes and weren't too sure ofthemselves, but when I examined their instruments, Ifound that every one was patched with glue, tire tape,surgeon's tape or anything that was handy. Truly, thisis the tag end of the end of the road.For quite a while now, our Chinese guards have"serenaded" us with wild, eerie bugle notes in the smallhours of the night. Seems they do this to drive away Sgt. StuartKenney in India:"The soldier onthe right is solidironl"their "personal devils." One fellow even toots a saxophone all night! I don't know about the devils, but itsure drives away our sleep. They have a new stunt now,I hear; they wait until a B-29 Superfortress is takingoff, and dash in front of it. The idea is that if theycan get across the runway safely, just barely make it,their pursuing devils will not be so fortunate. The resultis that runways become splattered with slow-footed Chinese. Don't misunderstand me — not all Chinese believein these devils; it is a form of superstition among theilliterate classes.One sound I'll never forget is the peculiar squeal ofthe wooden wheelbarrows. The axle and wheel aremade of wood. Even though wood is very scarce, ironis scarcer as it comes from Manchuria. Everywhere onegoes the peripatetic wheelbarrow is there, too. But themost unforgettable of all is the sight of heavily-ladentwo-wheeled carts, with one man hitched to the shafts,three on each side pushing with all their strength, andtwo or three in the rear. Even children help push thesecarts and are hitched in front of wheelbarrows or pulla rope. Everyone strains and pushes or pulls; they almost stall on the humped bridges, but somehow, by purestrength and doggedness, they manage to cover theweary miles (or should I say li), and eventually delivertheir load to its destination.Recently I made the acquaintance of a Chinese medical student. I found that, when discussing the Americanform of government with him, I had to be mentally onmy toes, for his knowledge was tremendous, althoughsomewhat bookish. But his reaction to our theories asapplied to the Chinese coolie forced me to dig awaydown to all I had ever studied. I was thankful thatin high school I had memorized our Constitution in itsentirety. The educated Chinese, I have found, are muchbetter educated than we at comparable ages. For instance, I met the beautiful daughter of a Chinese majoigeneral. A college freshman, eighteen years of age, shespoke three Chinese dialects, and fluent English, French,and German. How many of us could do that at eighteen,and escape being called a "quiz kid"?Everything in China seems built to last indefinitely;since almost everything is hand-made, there is goodreason for this. A "new" stone bridge that I crossed8THE UNIVERSITY OFrecently, is only 1,000 years old, one of the many thatMarco Polo crossed in his travels. The irrigation system is over 3,000 years old, but is still one of the world'smost efficient, even though footpower is used to operatewater wheels to move the water from one section to another. The system is so efficient that if a farmer wishesto drain a paddy, say in the center of his field, he cando so without draining the surrounding paddies.Recently while going into a Chinese town I saw amodern lathe in use; it was powered by a rope drive,working off a large wheel, cranked by a small boy. Thisis typical of what the Chinese are up against; even without adequate power, they do the best they can withwhat they have. Like Booker T. Washington's adviceto his people to "let your bucket down where you are,"the Chinese are exemplifying this advice to its ultimate.The old-fashioned "bucket brigade" must have originated here. Rocks and stones are carried in little basketsfastened from the ends of poles balanced on one shoulder.Coolies carry heavy loads in this manner exceptionallylong distances, and seemingly without much visible evidence of tiring. Heavy wooden buckets are used to carrywater, wastage, and sewage. Sounds like very little,but if you have 1,000 men each carry a two-pound load,you have a ton moved. That's how China built theBurma Road.The stories you hear about the use of fertilizer inChina are true. As a result, all fruits are especiallytreated; no skins can be eaten. Every little plant or seedhill is individually treated with fertilizer; none is wasted.In fact, every possible patch of ground is planted. Recently, the corn season ended. Every stalk was carefully removed and stacked; each ear was shelled byhand, the kernels removed and spread to dry. Theground is cleaned as with a vacuum cleaner; and thenext crop is planted, with each plant given its individualportion of fertilizer. Even after all these centuries ofcultivation, the land is still fertile and yields rich returns;our "mining farmers" could learn much from the Chinese.The latter part of last June, the Chinese treated us toa "Fifth of May" (Chinese calendar) meal. It seemsthat centuries ago, a good man jumped into the riverin expiation for the sins of the Chinese. As a commemoration of this deed, the Chinese used to cast foodon the water for his soul. Now, and more practically,they eat water food, duck eggs, rice, etc., at this periodof the year. Something like our communion services. Wehad some of it; the rice was covered with a peculiargelatinous substance and the eggs tasted as though theywere a hundred years old. Thank heavens our breakfast eggs don't taste like those!Recently I had my first ride in a jinrikisha. Thesetwo-wheeled carriages drawn by men are said to bemade by some firm in New Jersey. I understand thatthe Chinese Government outlawed them several yearsago, but is forced to use them, as there is no other comparable available transportation in any quantity. Thericksha runners, like the cart-pullers, are well developed CHICAGO MAGAZINE 9around the upper chest. Although their muscles standout like ropes, yet they present an emaciated appearance.Even the young fellows are built that way. They goat a half-trot, balancing themselves on the shafts. Onemust sit as. far back as possible to help keep the balance. They rest by "riding the, shafts" going downhill,and seemingly can keep up the pace all day, even thoughusually barefooted. I chanced to ride in one rickshapulled by what I considered a boy, and frankly did notfeel that he could make the trip. But he outclassed therunners that my friends had hired. What a contrast —several thousand horsepower to carry me over the hump,and now down to one-boy-power!The few Chinese towns that I have been able to visitso far are distinctly not like the great cities such asShanghai, Canton, etc. Modern China, which is alongthe seaboard, is occupied; the towns that I have seenare "back country." Sanitary arrangements are mostprimitive. While there are sidewalks of a sort, almosteveryone uses the hard-packed earthen streets — packedto almost cement-like hardness by centuries ofhuman feet passing over them.Yet, strange as it may seem, this is the first countryI have been in, outside of "Shangri-La," where I feltat home. True, the people stare at us, and if we stopto look into a shop, we'll draw hundreds. But they allsmile and greet us; the kids run out to yell Ting hao,and give the thumbs-up. The native shops are verycrude, the workmanship excellent. Refugee shops fromthe coastal towns are surprisingly modern and shopkeepers will bring out hot tea for us to sip while choosing their wares.I have seen a few older women with bound feet;they hobble along on little »tubby portions of feet,about size No. 1 or No. l:/2. But the newer generation,especially those from the coastal areas, are as smart andmodern as conditions will allow. Cosmetics seem toabound; there are many really beautiful Chinese women.But, like the French and Italians, they seem to be muchshorter and "dumpier" than Americans.Due to the supply difficulties, we are, I believe, aboutin the same position now as we were in Africa for afew months after the invasion. But once supplies arrivein quantity, we all feel more than confident that the"Festung Japonica" will crumble faster and more completely than the highly-advertised "Festung Europa."Ting Hao! — and — Thumbs Up!FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSETheodyssey ofan Army wifeCOMPARED to us the Wandering Jew and theFlying Dutchman led placid and sedentary lives.In two and a half years we have traveled thelength of the Eastern seaboard, from Fernandina, Florida,to Bailey's Beach, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, andfrom the Great Lakes to the Gulf. We have been intwenty-eight states and the District of Columbia, butthe range of our adventures has been broader than thegeography. We have eaten out of mess-kits in the rainand dined by candlelight in Newport. We have livedin all sorts of places, talked to all kinds of people, andlearned more about America than in all our peacetime travels.The Army wives who took their soldier-husbands "forbetter, for worse, for richer, for poorer" during the lastfew years could seldom realize how much worse or howmuch poorer things might be when they too had joinedthe Army. But few of us are sorry and most of us havehad the greatest adventure of our lives. We haven'thad time for glamor, we couldn't keep up with Broadway or our class reunions, but we'll never envy thewives who stayed at home.An Army wife is neither a civilian nor a soldier,but something between the two. She loses many ofher civilian prerogatives and is subject to new disciplines,but has never an insignia nor service stripe to show forit. She must learn to live out of a suitcase, yet be prepared for all climates and occasions. Compared tothis, it is child's play for the magician to pull an amazedwhite rabbit out of his top hat. An Army wife maytravel four hours on a wheezy bus to be with her husband for two. She may wait all week to see him on Saturday night, only to hear he9s OD or on guard. Hertrain may miss connections and strand her in somelittle junction town where everything is closed for thenight. Her bus may stall on a forsaken highway, leavingher to the impromptu chivalry of those few knights-errant who boast a "B" book or better. She must bemore ready than the pioneers to pull up stakes and movealong. But there are no spacious frontiers for the Armywife, only the overcrowded cities and boom towns posting rewards for a place to live. There are no Indiansto fear, but plenty of scalping profiteers lurking in ambush. The Army wife may have to lug water and dowithout electricity, cook by kerosene and stoke the furnace, but after all she's the daughter of Americans whodid even more with less. And when her husband tellsher how much he looks forward all week to seeing her • By DOROTHY ULRICH TROUBETZKOY, s36and that she's given him the motive and courage to gothrough the grind of OCS, it makes up for everything.Not all the raised eyebrows or brass-hat and swivel-chairarguments in the world could keep her home, but she'llneed all her vitamins to be an Army wife!Serge and I were married during a Christmas furloughand started our nomadic life together with a trunk, twolarge suitcases, an overnight bag, hat box, typewriter,briefcase, a picnic basket of wedding cake, and an armful of going-away presents. I soon repented and reformed, but with considerable backsliding, and my thriftiest packing always seemed to leave odds and ends fora shopping bag.It was New Year's Eve when we arrived in Savannahand we had no reservations at the hotel I shudder nowto think of such naivete, but the God who takes careof fools was on the job that night, so I got a room atthe "Savannah." Serge had to go back to camp at nineo'clock and I was left, unceremoniously, in a blackout.Not long after the last sirens, the New Year's revelersbegan celebrating with firecrackers, an old Southern custom, and it was hours before the last tipsy tenors wentreeling homeHardly had I learned my way about the squares ofOglethorpe's Savannah when Serge fetched me to CampStewart to begin my basic training as an Army wife. InRoom 26 at the Guest House I spent my first night ona hard and narrow Army cot, but slept soundly untilthe cannon shook me like an earthquake. I was prepared for sprightly bugle calls at dawn, but not for anything quite like that at 5:45 A.M. In time I got usedto this cheery salute to the sunrise, but I could neverclaim with the more hardy souls that I ever slept throughit. The buglers next took the stage, some on and someoff key, sounding reveille from all parts of camp. And,in case anyone had the stamina to go on sleeping, thebuglers were followed by the bands which may havehelped morale in their respective battery streets, but produced weird medleys for us in the middle of it all. Sergehad to dash off to formation, but told me to go backto sleep — as if anyone could sleep after all that rumpus!I lay in bed, inhaling my first whiffs of soft coal smokerising from the chimneys all over camp and fanning outunder the damp sky. It was cold and so dark the starswere shining, but curiosity finally got me up. I tooka shower because the tub was filthy and went over to theService Club for breakfast. I chatted with other Armywives who brought me up to date on the latest rumorsand, when they took out their knitting, I retreated tothe library. Under the influence of Pauline Orvis, Ionce started a sweater myself but my hands are moreat ease with. a pen or a brush, so the relic is wrappedin moth flakes.Serge and I expected to have dinner together but,10THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 11late in the afternoon, I saw him standing guard in backof Headquarters, with a little mongrel dog pacing upand down behind him. But we were to have moredevilish luck than that. I particularly remember oneweekend when Serge was on KP Thursday and Friday,on guard Saturday, and on fire guard Sunday.The Guest House provided a liberal education at themodest fee of 75 cents a day and it was impossible tolive there without learning a few more facts of life thanone had known before. Built hurriedly of green wood,the unseasoned boards began to shrink as soon as theheat was turned on and there were sizable cracks in everywall. It was a rash guest who undressed with a lightafter his neighbors had extinguished theirs and discretion was surely the better part of valor when every conversation might be heard in several rooms. More thanonce, those next door to the novices had to pillow theirfaces to keep from laughing out loud and spoiling thecontinuity of the Guest House bedtime stories.Our barracks room had two Army cots, a metal anda wooden chair, a portable closet, and a small mirror,but the bleak surroundings didn't prevent us from giving the vodka and caviar spreads which firmly established our reputation as "mad Russians." Every timeI went to Savannah I had to replenish our stock of"Smirnoff," caviar, anchovies, and Roquefort cheese."Swamp Stewart" had a bucolic air at the beginningof 1942. Cows grazed in front of Headquarters and pigsrooted by the Service Club. Rustic bridges or planksspanned the drainage ditches which turned into torrentswhen the rains came and the unpaved roads revertedspeedily to swamp. Men and officers were still livingin tents, all heated by soft coal stoves and some withoutfloors.The Seventh Regiment had brought all its traditionsalong, so that off-duty life was, as nearly as the men couldmake it, a continuation of the good old days at the ParkTalented Dorothy UlrichTroubetzkoy, '36, since leavingthe Midway has crowded herlife with fascinating experiencesin America, Iceland, Great Britain, and on the Continent. In"For Better or For Worse,"which will appear in two installments, she doesn't leave America. But with her husband anda sense of humor, she averagednearly a state a month in thepast two and a half years. Sheis the wife of Prince Serge Troubetzkoy, whose father was anofficer in the Lebhussars duringthe last war. Lt. Troubetzkoy isa direct descendant of Gidimin,founder of the kingdom ofLithuania. Avenue Armory or Camp Smith. They spoke the samelanguage, were proud of being an elite regiment, sharedmany prejudices, and were indubitably clannish. Manywere the tall tales and legends told about the "OldSeventh." A private was turned away from a steak jointin Boom Town because only officers were allowed. Soonafterwards, an officer was told that it was only for enlistedmen. The irate soldier had bought the place. WheneverCamp Stewart's cafe society moved into town or to thebeach for the weekend, the belles of Savannah conveniently forgot their grievances against W. T. Sherman whohad burned the family plantations along the Ogeechee.There was a musical comedy atmosphere as long as onedid not see the young godsons of Cholly Knickerbockersloshing through the mud, digging post holes, and peelingthe eternal potato like every other GI.The rumor of cadres and alerts was never still and Iwas at camp the day before the 1st Battalion moved out.The cannon woke us as usual and the trumpets bleatedreveille, but it was pouring rain so there were no bands.Prisoners in denims and OD raincoats were filling in amud-hole at the entrance to the Guest House. The flapsof the officers' tents were down and the smoke from themess lay flat against the roof. A jeep splashed throughthe mud-holes and trucks passed, covered with tarpaulins,their great wheels lifting fans of muddy water. An MPpedaled nonchalantly down Headquarters Road on hisbicycle. The tall long-leaf pines swayed gently in therain and, now that I was leaving, I felt almost lyricalabout Camp Stewart.Serge was on guard. It seemed as though at everycrucial moment of our lives, he was to be on some trivialroutine like KP, guard duty, CQ or OD. But he didget off in time for a farewell dinner with old friends, SallyClark, Tommy Emmet and Jack Bates — all now overseas.We set the alarm for 3:45 A.M. and it seemed to gooff as soon as we dozed. There was hardly time to realizewhat was happening before Serge had kissed me goodbyeand gone. I heard the first rumble of the convoy as Iwalked over toward Worcester Avenue and stood undera pine tree to watch the trucks go by, but I caught noglimpse of Serge.I might as well have bought a ticket to Bedlam as toNorfolk, Virginia. The Monticello not only didn't havethe promised room with private bath, there wasn't evena public bath, but I was lucky to have a roof over rayhead. One of my ex-roommates, Emily Hope McCoy,was a Norfolk girl, so I telephoned her house. She wasup North, but her mother came to my rescue and tookme to the Princess Anne Country Club at Virginia Beach,so my housing problems were settled for a week.Camp Stewart had been a garden spot, a center of culture and civilization, compared to Camp Pendleton.Ironic "Keep Off The Grass" signs sprouted in the acresof sand. There was neither Guest House nor ServiceClub, no hostess nor stationery. The Recreation Hallwas an inhospitable barn-like structure with sprung-bottom chairs and dirty cushions, littered with ancient12 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEmagazines and phonograph records. They even had afew old Edisons. As long as I could see Serge every day,the facilities of the "Rec" Hall were the least of myworries, but I could have wished happier memories ofAmerica for any soldier going overseas.The best of the rumors came true and we went toNewport, Rhode Island, for the summer. Lest we gotdelusions of glamor, however, Serge's platoon was assigned to a battle station on Ruggles Avenue which hadonce been a garbage dump and was overrun with rats.It was a comedown for the "Old Seventh" men who hadspent prewar summers in Newport and been entertainedin the mansions on Bellevue Avenue. I stayed at the"Muenchinger-King" while I studied the ads in TheNewport News and searched for a place to live whichwould be nearer Serge. Finally I found a little houseon Ledge Road, near Bailey's Beach. Serge, a corporalnow, had one day off every week for three weeks andthen had to wait a two-week interval before anotherbreak. Fortunately, for the one and only time in ourArmy life, we had been able to bring the car with us,so I drove to Ruggles every day at six, with a thermosand snacks. Once I took lobsters and, while the playfulrats gamboled across the headlights, we demolished thedelectable crustaceans, not elegantly I fear, but well.A month later Serge was transferred to Eustis Avenueand thence to the Naval Training Station from which hebrought back fabulous tales of Navy food, in eludingthree desserts. Since he was now on the opposite sideof town, I went back to live at the "Muenchinger-King."During Tennis Week, Nancy Randolph, the gossip-columnist, moved next door and there was such a big crackunder the door between our rooms that Serge and Iwere almost afraid to talk at all when we suspected ourformidable neighbor was at home. After she left it occurred to me that, had she been short of copy., she mighthave filled in with some tart remarks to the effect thatapparently the Troubetzkoys were not on speaking terms.Rumors were rampant again and we expected Sergeto leave with a searchlight battery for the Pacific at anytime. Instead, he was suddenly transferred to FortAdams, issued a bicycle, given permission to come homenights, and invited to apply for OCS. For more thana year he had been trying to attend, only to have hisrepeated applications lost in the mazes of regimentalred tape.It wasn't too good to be true, but it was too good tolast, so we made the most of it. Every pretty day webicycled to the beach for a late swim and during weekends we had time to spend with our Newport friends.Sometimes Perry Belmont, former Minister to Spain,had dinner with us by candlelight or invited us to teaon Old Beach Road, and it was fascinating to hear thereminiscences of a man who had dined with Disraeli andlistened to Gladstone's speeches, who had talked to Bismarck and Stephen A. Douglas.Serge appeared before the officer candidate board onthe last day of July and a month later received orders to report for the anti-aircraft school at Camp Davis,North Carolina. Whatever else might be said for the life,the Army always arranged to send us everywhere inseason.In Wilmington, North Carolina, I suddenly joined thatcne-third of a nation which is ill housed. The deskclerk at the "Cape Fear" couldn't find my reservation.In fact, he had singular difficulty finding anyone's unlessa telegraphed confirmation was brandished in his face,but I finally talked him into giving me a room for threedays. Room 301 was a cozy nook with left-over whiskyand beer bottles, unwashed glasses and a pervasive smellof stale smoke. On the desk I found an ironic message:"The directors of this hotel would be pleased to receivedirectly from its guests any comments or suggestions relating to the operation of this hotel." For once I wastempted to use "the envelope which requires no postage," but of course it wasn't there and there were ashesin the ink.At the Army listing bureau, I was greeted pleasantlybut ominously by Mrs. Harris who went through a file ofcards, shaking her head and murmuring: "I don'tthink you'd like it there ... a home for waitresses . . ."and so on. She telephoned a few places and put downthe receiver with more headshakings. The next timeI saw Mrs. Harris she too was in search of a place tolive.Checking out time was posted on my door as 7 P. M.,but at six they tried to move two astonished soldiers inwith me. They dropped their luggage apologeticallyand bolted.In desperation, I boarded one of the rickety buses forWrightsville Beach and got off at the "Ocean Terrace."I had gone from one extreme to the other, for now Ihad a hotel of my own, the whole rambling summer hotelto myself except for weekends when the soldiers, including Serge, came down from Camp Davis. It would soonbe too cold to stay, but it gave me time to gather mywits for a new assault on "the port city of pleasure andprogress." Meanwhile I enjoyed the luxury of breakfast in bed and, in fact, I stayed there most of the day,wrapped in blankets like a Taos Indian, furiously writingpoems and articles to keep warm.The first time I went to Camp Davis, the bus burnedup and I rode to camp in an Army truck. The sergeantat the Service Club said: "I can tell you're not a Southern girl because you didn't get scared and go all topieces." I told him there wasn't time or I'd have beenterrified. When we joined the cafeteria line, the hostesslooked me over and exclaimed: "Were you the one?You don't look like anyone who's been in a burningbus!" I've wondered ever since how I was supposedto look.I certainly picked the wrong buses that day. On theway back, I was stranded in a blackout at Winter Parkfor three quarters of an hour.The next time I went to Camp Davis, the NorfolkSpecial left me in a swirl of dust at Holly Ridge. ItTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE* 13would be a good place to mail Christmas cards, butthat's about all that could be said for it. Except forbus station and post office, it had nothing but beer jointsand cheap "military" stores which sold lurid souvenirpillows for "Mother" and "Sweetheart," sleazy sweatshirts stamped with the much-abused U. S. eagle, insignia,equipment, and souvenir gadgets. When I applied fora Guest House pass, the officer in charge asked, "Whereare you from?" in a tone which implied at least Tobolskor Semipalatinsk. The MP's gave me the once-overand before me stretched the sands of Camp Davis whereI always half expected to see a mirage. The public address system, with its over-loud marches, announcements,bugle calls, and songs from the hit parade, almost mademe feel as though I were back at the World's Fair. Inthe Guest House I paid my 50 cents and was warned toprepare for a roommate. Unlike Camp Stewart, all butthe lounge was "off limits." While I waited to register,I saw an unusual relic enshrined in a glass case. It wasan ordinary paper drinking cup, smeared with lipstick,which bore the inscription: "This priceless item wasdiscovered amid the ruins of the chamber which authenticated historical records prove to have been occupiedby Betty Grable."I took refuge in the Service Club library and, bythe time Serge arrived, was making considerable headway in a biography of Catherine the Great and becoming slightly alarmed to discover that we had shared anumber of childhood characteristics. What an Armywife old Catherine would have been!We've been standing in line for everything we wantedduring the last few years and the Service Club cafeteriawas no exception. Then, one could scarcely settle downto a leisurely meal when other hungry soldiers andcivilians hovered over us with trays. Nor was the Service Club lounge designed for private conversation, with itscompeting noises of piano, juke box, jitterbugs, crooners,ping pong, and a continual buzz of voices. The theaterqueues were usually so long . they discouraged all butthe most bored or most hardened movie fans. The PXtoo was crowded, but offered such special attractions asfilms and Coca Cola, which were scarce in town. (I wasamused to discover that in the Commissary such itemsas chocolate bars, cigarettes, and chewing gum werekept in a "sensitive items" cage.) The Guest Houselounge was far too small to accommodate all its guestsand their soldiers and my room was "off limits," so thenearest thing to privacy was a walk to watch the starsover Davis as the loudspeaker regaled us willynilly withthe latest boogie-woogie.Saturday night my roommate arrived from Youngstown, Ohio, and she had the worst case of poison ivy Ihave ever seen. It makes me itch even now to thinkabout it. Otherwise, she was an exemplary roommatewho disappeared in the morning and returned just before lights out.We had Sunday dinner with Billy Livingston, anotherveteran of the Seventh Regiment and Camp Stewart,and he told me I should write a book about my Armyadventures. "You've been in the Army almost as longas we have," he said and, when he graduated from OCS,he gave me his old chevrons so I'd have a rating!Serge was in classes when it came time to leave andas I was lugging my suitcase out of the Guest House,one of the clerks came running after me. "I'll bet youcan pronounce all the characters in War and Peace,"he said and, presumably on the strength of that accomplishment, offered to send for an Army carry-all, so Iwent in more style than I had come.(To be concluded next month)Leaving for Florida maneuvers s Qualifying on the rifle rangeNEWS OF THE QUADRANGLES• By CHET OPALFIFTY years ago, not long after William RaineyHarper struck oil, the ragamuffins of the stockyardsdistrict, four miles from the emergent Universitycampus, played a cavalier game. Although their motiveswere as remote from the romantic as the flagrant odorsof the local abattoirs, the boys tossed stones at the windows of a three-story building at 4630 Gross avenue.This was no prelude to a serenade. The urchins simplywanted in.There was royalty in that drama — namely, The Dutchess of Bubbly Creek. The Dutchess was Mary E.McDowell, and Mary McDowell, history has it, wasoperating a settlement in that edifice. In tossing stonesat her window, the little boys were hoping to be invitedin. They were hoping to share in that strangely fantastic inner life of ordered play and purposeful activitywhich had become the sole object of Miss McDowell'sministrations.Mary McDowell is gone now. The settlement hasthrived. Known as the University of Chicago Settlement, or, popularly, as the back-of-the-yards settlement,it now provides work and play facilities for 2,500 children and adults each year. And Gross Avenue has beenrenamed McDowell Avenue.On November 30, December 1 and 2, the Settlementobserved its golden anniversary. A pageant, depictingthe life of Miss McDowell and the significant events inthe Settlement's history, was presented each evening. Itopened with a reading of the Lincoln Gettysburg Address, symbolizing the influence which Abraham Lincolnhad on his paymaster, Malcolm McDowell, and thelatter's daughter, Mary.The oratory done, the pageant moved to the four-room flat above a kindergarten where the Settlementhad its humble beginnings. It was here just after theWorld Columbian Exposition of 1894 that Mary McDowell was called by President Harper of the University, on the advice of Jane Addams, to establish theSettlement.Other scenes portrayed the ceaseless activity of theDutchess, or "Fighting Mary," as she was called also, asshe secured for her neighbors better housing, sanitation,and improved working and living, conditions. MissMarguerite K. Sylla, present head resident, reports thatonce, when a local politician w^as giving a list of the goodthings he had done for the community — "See what I gotfor you — the public bath, playgrounds, lights" — he wasinterrupted by an indignant Irish voice booming: "Yedidn't ayther. 'Twas the Sittlement done 'em all!" Thisincident, too, was dramatized.Closing scene of the pageant was a Christmas partywith Old Country trimmings. The three leading national groups of the Settlement area — the Poles, the Czechs, and the Mexicans — presented dances' native totheir immigrant parents. The Settlement has had suchdistinguished visitors or guests as Thomas G. Masaryk,first president of Czechoslovakia, and his sister, Alice,who were frequent visitors when Masaryk was an exchange professor at the University of Chicago; UptonSinclair, who gathered material for his book, TheJungle, while staying at the Settlement in 1904; JudgeK. M. Landis, baseball czar, who as a youth went toSettlement dances; Margaret Culkin Banning, fictionwriter who produced dramatic skits while a resident atthe Settlement; and William L. Chenery, editor of Colliers, who wrote strike stories at the Settlement in theearly days of his newspaper career.A major feature of the fiftieth anniversary celebrationwas the reunion of those who attended the Settlementas residents or as neighbor-participants. Also presentwere Dr. Henry T. Ricketts, of the University's MedicalSchool, and Harry C. Rosenberg, Chicago attorney,president and vice-president, respectively, of the Settlement board.Manna from HevanstonPresident Franklyn Bliss Snyder of Northwestern University (a suburb of the University of Chicago) everyonce in so often sends a shaft of bolt-lightning straightout of Hevanston. He does not like the University ofChicago. Therefore, every time he talks about Northwestern University he talks about the University of Chicago. Always it is as though he were exhibiting twosides of a shield — the good and the bad. And, naturally,he is prejudiced.Last spring he announced a new liberal arts programfor N. U. He made some snide remarks to the pressabout not confusing his program with President Hutchins'. Consequently, every reporter had to devote three-fifths of his reportage to an explanation of Hutchins'ideas.Two days before Thanksgiving, in a paean on behalfof his institution and the blessings of American education, he made in a report to his trustees a faintly veiledcriticism of the Chicago College Plan. It is, he said,"unfair to transplant high school sophomores to university campuses." He said, further, that high schools"with all their faults" are better qualified to educate adolescents than are universities "with all their faults." Hereferred to "one or two universities" which are doingjust this scandalous thing.He didn't name those institutions, but every astutenewspaperman in Chicago knew what he was talkingabout. For one thing, they knew he was in error: Chicago and St. John's at Annapolis, which take youngstudents, take them after their sophomore year, notduring that year.14THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 15Asked for comment, President Hutchins out-snidedSnyder: "I am," said Hutchins, "a firm believer in academic freedom, and I am glad to see President Snyderexercising it."This elaborate remark was given an added aura ofacuity by faculty members who blithely pointed out thatnot more than three years ago Northwestern Universityannounced it would accept high school seniors beforetheir graduation; that every serious study of the lasttwenty-five years has demonstrated that young studentsconsistently do better work than their older brethren;and that ever since Eliot eminent educators have deplored the grievous length of American education.At any rate, every time President Snyder makes anannouncement he acts as though he had something onhis mind — or on his conscience.Industrial Relations CenterThe University has established an Industrial Relations Center as a means of providing university-wideservice in industrial relations for management executives, union leaders, government officials, faculty members, and students. The Center, first of its kind in thenation, integrates and expands the work touching on industrial relations which has been in progress in theUniversity's School of Business and Law and its economics, sociology, political science, education, psychology,and psychiatry departments.In discussing the Center, Emery T. Filbey, vice-president emeritus of the University and chairman of theIndustrial Relations Center Committee, said: "A fundamental objective in building a lasting peace is the continuous discovery of means by which free men can cooperate in a better world. Harmonious and effective industrial relations is one of the means to this end. Inthis field universities have an important and strenuouspart to play. Through training and research, they havea responsibility to help develop those social skills whichlead to the integration of divergent group interests intomore practical and cooperative working relationships."Founding of the Center crystallizes developments ofthe last four years at the University of Chicago, it wasbrought out by Frederick H. Harbison, executive secretary of the Center and a member of the University's Department of Economics. Harbison, formerly with theWar Production Board, the Army Service Forces, andthe Petroleum Administrator for War, will direct operations of the Center with Robert K. Burns, chairman ofthe newspaper commission of the War Labor Board,vice-president of Science Research Associates, Chicago,and former regional WLB chairman.The Industrial Relations Center will engage in fourmajor activities: the direction of an instruction programdesigned to meet the particular requirements of executives in companies, unions, and government agencieswho want broader training in the fields of industrial relations; the development and maintenance of a specializedindustrial relations library and reference service; the en couragement and integration of individual and cooperative research; and the publication and dissemination ofresearch findings. The instruction program includesweekly seminars and conferences and institutes. A seminar on personnel administration already is meeting,while one for management executives on methods andprocedures in collective bargaining is scheduled to beginthis winter. A seminar on job evaluation and wagepolicies, designed for labor leaders, is listed in the offerings.The administrative machinery of the Center alreadyis in operation and some of its training and research activities are well under way. The Center Committeeperiodically reviews and determines the program andpolicy of the Center. The committee, which Mr. Filbeyheads, includes: Vice-President Wilbur C. Munnecke;Sheldon Tefft, acting dean of the Law School; GarfieldV. Cox, acting dean of the School of Business; RobertRedfield, dean of the Division of Social Sciences; RalphW. Tyler, chairman of the Committee on Human Development; Ralph A. Beals, director of the Universitylibraries; and Lawrence A. Kimpton, dean of students.Funds from the OrientThe University of Chicago has been chosen by theChinese government as one of six American universitiesin which that government will establish Chinese culturescholarships carrying a $1500 annual stipend. Five suchscholarships will be established in each of the universities. The other universities chosen by the Chinesegovernment are Harvard, Columbia, Michigan, Yale,and California.The scholarships were proposed by the Chinese Ministry of Education for the purpose of promoting andstrengthening the cultural relations between China andthe United States. The funds will be open to all students, except those of Chinese nationality, who haveshown merit in at least one year's study in Chinese history, language, literature, art, geography, or social sciences; or who have contributed meritorious writings onany of these subjects. The scholarships will be for oneyear, renewable upon expiration, but no one will be permitted to hold the scholarships continuously for morethan three years.The Vanishing AmericanThe University is getting back into civvies: war ispassing from the campus. That is, according to thevisible signs. (This is no place to unearth the undercover activities going on on campus.) Having completedthe training of 4,224 radio men for the U. S. Navy, theUniversity closed its Naval Training Radio School withgraduation ceremonies on November 16. There were 96men in the last class and as usual the top-ranking manwas awarded a $300 postwar scholarship to the University. He was the thirtieth man so honored.The departure of the SOS boys restored to the civilianmen the ample quarters of Burton- Judson on the Midway Plaisance. Burton- Judson provided an interesting16 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEexample of transition. The place was known as "thehotel where the bellboys carry guns." The bellboys happened to be sentries, and the sentries were armed, andthe civilian students allowed in one wing of the buildingbefore the Navy men vacated altogether had to presenttheir credentials on the way in and out. Which remindsthis writer of a story concerning Voltaire, who, whenhe was on the way out, was visited by a priest, who insisted on giving the French wit final absolution. "Whosent you?" asked the scoffing Voltaire, writhing in hisdeath-bed. "God," said the humble priest. "Show meyour credentials," said Voltaire.Men of MusicCecil Smith, chairman of the music department, hasaccomplished for the department what Mark Twain saidDante did for hell — put it on the map. Chamber concertsand composers' concerts have highlighted music schedules and given the city a new insight into forgotten realmsof gold.The Composers' Concerts, inaugurated last year,already have brought to the campus new works byHindemith, Stravinsky, and Samuel Barber (who didhis own conducting). On December 13, Violinist JosephSzigeti presented a new sonata by Prokofieff, and inthe months of February, March, and April, the programwill include operatic works by Milhaud and Hindemith,quartet music, and a ballet.The Composers' Concerts are the handiwork of RemiGassmann, who came to the University January 1, 1942.And the time has come to talk about Mr. Gassmann.American composer, critic, lecturer, and teacher, RemiGassmann is instructor in music and director of the Composers Concerts and Seminar at the University. In addition to his work at the University he is the music editor of the Chicago Daily Times, and recently acceptedthe position of director of the School of Music at Elmhurst College, Elmhurst, Illinois.Mr. Gassmann is of Russian-German parentage.

MORGENSTERN, '20, J.D. '22THE layman has been told that the great merit ofthe academic world is the objectivity of its attitude. In examining a problem, the academic manlays aside his prejudice and his emotions, and is guidedonly by the evidence of carefully sifted fects. But thelayman sometimes wonders about this objectivity, particularly of that branch of the academic world whichdeals in educational theory — the educators.There is a great stir in the educational world at present because education, as is industry, is making its plansfor postwar conversion. In the educational journalsthere are articles about the great advances developed inthe AST and other wartime programs. There are piecesabout democratic education, which variously proceed onthe theory of broadening student government, or byteaching what democracy is, or in making education democratic by expanding — if possible — the free elective system.But the favorite topic of all is liberal education. All theeducators are for it, even though it means all thingsto all of them. There are those who speak and writeglowingly of liberal education in terms of vocationaltraining. Others define liberal education as 132 semesterhours of science, and courses that will produce juniorassistant chemists for the du Pont laboratories. Othersare satisfied with a liberal education that has the basicrequirement of English composition. Fundamentallythese discussions are rationalizations of the status quo.The one thing that most of these spokesmen can agreeon therefore is that the College of the University of Chicago is a very bad thing. It has no place for vocationalism and it separates general education, to produce- skillin reading and writing and thinking, from specializededucation. It has a required curriculum of generalcourses, and so has abandoned the elective system. Itlikewise has discarded the idea that education can bemeasured by the number of semester hours, and insiststhat the only measurement is not time but what thestudent has done with his time. Worst of all, it takesstudents at the end of their sophomore year in highschool, an appalling practice that snatches babies fromthe arms of their mothers and is degrading to the American college, which is dedicated to those between theages of eighteen and twenty-two.What the educators are using in attacking the Collegeis any conveniently accessible paving block of assertion.Mr. John Dewey, on the occasion of his eighty-fifthbirthday, was not content with a paving block; he aimeda fragmentation shell with the pronouncement that Mr.Hutchins was in favor of liberal education for the eliteand vocational training for the masses. If there is anything in educational theory that even a layman knowsit is that Mr. Hutchins is not in favor of any vocational training anywhere in the schools, the colleges, or the universities. He has said, to adopt the paraphraseof another Dewey, again, and again, and again, thatcitizens in a democracy must be given an education thatwill enable them to make intelligent decisions; that business and industry, not the schools, are the agencies toprovide vocational training. Another of the objectivecriticisms of the College is that it has a "medieval" attitude and curriculum. Constance Warren, president ofSarah Lawrence College, has remarked that the basictheory is learning the eternal verities from the classics, aplan "which will appeal to some men returning fromthe war who feel that the problems of the contemporaryworld are too complex for mastery . . . and to certain parents who are reluctant to let their children examine thepresent too closely lest they advocate change." Thepresident of Knox College, Carter Davidson, said a monthago: "If St. John's College and the University of Chicago wish to return to ancient Greece, or medieval Italy,for their curriculum, let them do so with equanimity —provided the faculty can enter into these programs withsincerity and enthusiasm and provided the students whoapply for admission are told frankly what the basic assumptions and the ultimate objectives of this type ofeducation will be." Franklyn B. Snyder of Northwesternsays the intellectual, social, and physical standards of theCollege are unfair to high school juniors.What is puzzling about all this is that the educatorsought to know the facts. Mr. Dewey, who has beencarrying on a long debate with Mr. Hutchins, presumably has read what Mr. Hutchins has written about hisown theories of education. The Announcements of theUniversity are in specific detail as to the curriculum ofthe College: fourteen general courses in mathematics,physical sciences, biological sciences, social sciences, humanities, and the course called observation-interpretation-integration. Syllabi of these courses are in hundreds ofcollege libraries, or they can be bought in the open*market by anyone who wants to examine the contentof the curriculum to determine if the College is "medieval" or fears "that the problems of the contemporaryworld are too complex for mastery." The College is anindependent unit; it has its own faculty, its own classes,its own residence halls and residence hall program. Ithas a student body in its first two years of approximately575; a total larger than the entire enrolment of manycolleges, and certainly large enough to set its own intellectual, social, and physical standards.Whatever else this line of argument is, it is not objective. It employs the emotional slogans of propaganda; it is directed to the prejudices rather than tothe intellect. It reveals a fear that if the College isnot stopped, somehow or some way, some fundamentalchanges in the educational system will become inevitable.17With Our Allumni in ClevelandOn a recent trip to Cleveland the associate editor visited with some fiftyof our 274 alumni in Greater Cleveland and passes the news on to you.Chicago's first alumni secretarywas Mayo Fesler, '97, who served inthis capacity for three years while heremained at Chicago as a Fellow inhistory. He started directing civicorganizations in 1904 when he wentto St. Louis to become secretary ofthe Civic League. In 1910 he movedto Cleveland to accept a similar position. From 1916 to 1921 he headedthe Brobklyn Chamber of Commerceand then accepted Cleveland's invitation to return and reorganize theleague, since titled Citizens League,which organization he continues todirect. Mr. Fesler has a marrieddaughter, Jean, an alumnus of BrynMawr.In 1901 Edward M. Baker, '98,moved to Cleveland to provide ahome for his sister whose husbandhad just passed away. He enteredthe brokerage business and is now co-manager of J. S. Bache Company, investment brokers. For sixteen yearsbeginning in 1906 Mr. Baker waspresident of the Cleveland Stock Exchange.

As a humble member of thatclass who lost a voice at regular intervals yelling for their splendid defense of Dear Ol' Alma Mater (somesixteen years ol' when we graduated)I protest their transfer to the scrubsof '11 and suggest that Col. NormanLee Baldwin is either taking youchildren for a ride or he needs torecall other things besides ice water.Also, you might check your newsitems for chronological sequence andyou could even break down and spellthe old boys correctly.Yours for a better U. of C.Persis Smallwood Crocker, '09Yonkers, N. Y.[The Colonel claims, and who are we to ¦question his contention, that John Schommer and Wallie Steffen, assistant coachesin 1910, combined teaching with demonstration and did their demonstrating bylining up with the scrubs. Nels Norgrenmust have been drafted from the freshmandelegation which he captained that year.Apparently the Old Man went to great lengths to turn out a winning team in 1910.The record follows:Chicago 0 Indiana 6Chicago 0 Illinois 3Chicago 10 Northwestern 0Chicago 0 Minnesota 24Chicago 14 Purdue 5Chicago 0 Cornell 18Chicago 0 Wisconsin 10— Editor]NINE RAHS FOR LEARNING(Reprinted from the editorial page, Chicago Tribune, November 14, 1944)Many a graying alumnus of theUniversity of Chicago knows justhow Mr. Arch Ward is feeling thesedays. It seemed for a time that thetradition could never die which included Eckersall, Steffen, Norgren,the Thomas boys, Five Yards Mc-Carty, and the lad from Dubuquewith the German name who graduated into the tire business but beforethat ran (generally to his left) inmatchless style.Just so, Mr. Ward remembers hisFour Horsemen. He is sure they willride again and, of course, he may beright. Notre Dame is not yet negotiating a contract with Mr. Shaugh-nessy, but on the other hand it mustbe noted that Mr. Ward speaks of the17 and 18 year olders who were unequally matched against the big boys.Troubled voices talked to the sameeffect around the Midway after the games. By the following Thursdayhope sprang, but not eternally. Themoment came when Dr. Hutchinsdecided for the higher learning.The students never seemed to mindmuch. Even when the big boys woreNorthwestern's purple or Harvard'scrimson the young men and womenalong the Midway readily foundsolace. Perhaps they found it in thegreat books. It was the alumni whosuffered. The attitude of the youngpeople said more plainly than wordsthat their elders were the victims ofan outworn educational theory. Thebeneficiaries of the New Plan hadbeen enriched by philosophy.It begins to look as if Notre Dameis going the same way. The playingfields of South Bend will resound withthe laughter of the 17 and 18 yearolds indulging in volleyball and touchfootball. There will be taffy pulls,carnivals on the ice, and graded gymnastics. The ivy, having climbed theouter wall of the stadium, will twineover the seats. (No doubt a fewhundred will be cleared of entanglements so that the alumni returningto view the class day pageant depicting the triumph of learning will notbe tripped up. There will be no clipping penalty.)The name of the boy who ran sowell, especially to his left, was Berwanger.(j?it&n a sttlcxMof Swifts It * /femiumHam will makethe meal !/he ham ~thaZa a/venon SuaaA Lsiaa&gC • Swift's Premium Ham has such a rich fullflavor it gives extra zest to whatever you serveit with.
