General Electric Company,Schenectady, N. Y.Powdered Light. This luminous powder that you see is a phosphor. Coating the inside ofevery G-E fluorescent lamp, it transforms invisible rays into soft, cool light. RecentlyGeneral Electric developed a remarkable new phosphor which will be used in a newfluorescent sun lamp to provide healthful summer sunshine all year round, economicallyand efficiently. And speaking of economy, G-E lamp research has reduced the cost of a60-watt G-E bulb by 75% since 1923. Another way in which General Electric helps tobring More Goods to More People at Less Cost.The tiny 7-watt G-E bulb in this night lightmakes darkened halls safely navigable for sleepypeople. It's especially useful in homes with smallchildren. And the cost of electric current hasbeen brought so low that, at average residentialrates, this little lamp will burn for four 8-hournights for only a penny or so!

We were running oncomfortable schedule.Before galley proofs could bepulled, the Chicago printers' strikestopped the presses on printers' row.Weeks later when the men returned,80(3 weekly and monthly magazinesand house organs published in Chicago had become "Rush," "Emergency, and "Critical" orders. Somewhere in that pile were our manuscripts, news notes and ad copy.To a dazed foreman we put thequestion: "When?" It was academicand we knew the answer would be afrustrated throwing up of arms. Weretired quietly and waited. The October issue was finally mailed November 27, after a session with thePostmaster, whose boss usually insists that magazines be in the mailthe months of their datelines.In late October all copy for theNovember issue was sent to the printers. "What's this?" cried the fore-man, biting his fingernails. "Wehaven't got your October stuff out yetand look at those stacks of copy fora hundred other magazines with October datelines. You'll be lucky toget your November issue by Christmas." Handing the foreman a cigar,we asked him when he would estimate we could catch up with ourissues. March or April, maybe.We have decided to be realistic,again with the consent of Uncle Sam.This issue, you note, is dated November-December.

OGBURNFor every inventionA new social problemI appreciate the honor of speaking before the Subcommittee on War Mobilization of the Senate Committee onMilitary Affairs on the place of social science in a program of nationally sponsored scientific research.Now that the war is won, our efforts are turned„ towinning the peace. From the field of natural sciencewhich deals with mechanical relationships we want thenew contributions from aviation, from plastics, fromelectronics, and from atomic energy, to the end that weshall raise our material welfare. From the field of socialscience which deals with human relationships we wantnew labor-management relations, better race relations,and improved international relations, to the end that weshall raise our standards of human welfare. Just asnatural science deals with chemical elements, astronomical bodies, light, heat, electricity; so social science dealswith social, economic, and political organizations . of allkinds such as government, industry, transportation, agriculture, the press, church, family, rural communities,cities, nations, and international bodies. The social scientists want to discover reliable and trustworthy knowledgeabout these social institutions. Through their contributions the peaceful years ahead may be richer than anywe have yet known in our own country and throughoutthe world. This conception of social science is generallyknown.There are, however, two less well known aspects ofsocial science which I should like to present as of especialimportance in the present era of history. The first ofthese is the fact that for every important mechanicalinvention that physical scientists make there is created anew social problem on which social scientists should work.Thus, the atomic bomb, a product of natural science,presents the problem of international organization, onwhich social scientists should advise. The second aspectof social science which I should like to present is thatsocial science aid in national defense. Every war nowis a total war and must be fought not only with munitions but also with institutions. Let me discuss brieflythese two phases of social science so important for ourtime.I. The first point, namely, that inventions create socialproblems, means that if the United States Governmentsupports research in physical science, then, in my judgment, it is logically and morally obligated to supportresearch in social science. For the discovery in physicalscience creates a problem in social science. The steamengine, a product of physical science, increased divorces,a problem for social science. Likewise, the automobilemultiplied crime; the atomic bomb destroys cities. Hence, social scientists must do research on divorce, on crime,and on the protection of our cities.For the social scientists to do the desired research,there is required money, time, our research ability. Oftenit takes more hard work and a longer time to solve asocial problem caused by an invention than it did tomake the invention. Yet the public does not realize this.They seem to expect quick answers. And they get them,such as they are, from lectures, radio commentators,preachers, editorial writers. But what do these readyanswers say? Regarding divorce that husbands andwives should love each other, be more tolerant and notgo to the divorce court, regarding crime that we mustinflict stern punishment on criminals or treat them assick persons, and regarding nuclear energy that we mustnot use the atomic bomb. But such answers do not meanmuch. We need implementation to such good advice,which comes from research.We need to know how to lessen divorce, how to combat crime, and how to keep from using the bomb. Thereis a difference between saying what ought to be doneand in knowing how to do it.Let us consider the problems caused by the discoveryof atomic energy and its release. The bomb causes atleast two major problems. One problem is that of producing a lasting agreement among nations not to use thebomb. The other is to break our cities up into smallerplaces less vulnerable. What is needed in regard to boththese problems is the creation of two institutes of socialresearch, or their equivalents, one on international organization and the other on cities and their defense. Theseinstitutes should be supported generously, and the mostcapable social scientists should begin research on theseproblems.There is no social scientist who can give the answersto these problems, off the cuff, so to speak. As a socialscientist, I am often asked what to do about the bomb.A quick answer that is worth much is not possible. Letme illustrate by a similar question in the field of physicalscience. Suppose, in 1920, the physicist, Arthur Compton, had been asked to construct an atomic bomb nextweek. An absurd request. It was necessary for 20 yearsWilliam F. Ogburn, Chairman of the Department ofSociology and nationally famous in his field, has been inthe headlines since our explosion into the Atomic Age.The Press has emphasized his- suggestion for dispersal ofthe urban population, which he thinks will be needed if anagreement not to use the atomic bomb in war should bebroken, an eventuality quite possible in view of the Pactof Paris, of the League of Nations, and of past treatiesthat have been scrapped. For his recommendations to aSenate subcommittee on Military Affairs in regard to thegovernmental support of scientific research in UniversitieSjwe herewith permit you to sit in on the Committee meetingwhere Dr. Ogburn made his report.34 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEof progress in nuclear physics to occur. Now, with$2,000,000,000, 75,000 workers, nearly all the nuclearphysicists, and many chemists and engineers, within 3years' time the famous bomb was produced. The naturalscientist could not give quick answers; neither can thesocial scientists. If the social scientists have even a smallportion of the $2,000,000,000 and a few years' time, theycould give better answers.As to how the research by social scientists on the influence of the bomb on international organization shouldbe set up, it looks as though an international agreementnot to use the bomb might not be too difficult to obtain.The much greater task is to make such an agreementendure. In view of the failures of the Pact of Paris andof the League of Nations, the difficulties in making anagreement that will stick will be great indeed.The danger is that after getting such an agreement,if we do, we may then rest in a false security.If an agreement not to use the bomb fails, then thereis another way out, namely, to scatter the urban population. To do this hurriedly just before the battle starts,or after it starts, is not adequate. Would it not be betterto decentralize our cities in peacetime as a defense measure? That of course is a stupendous undertaking. But ifwe do not scatter them, they may be destroyed with a fewbombs. It would not be a bad idea to have social scientistswork in finding out all about how our urban populationfrom very large cities might be dispersed, slowly or rapidly,to greater or lesser degree, whether further into the interior or not. Probably the research on the defense of ourcities would require as many as 50 or 100 different research projects. With the knowledge from such researches we should know much better what to do aboutour urban population in an atomic age, whether we actor not according to the conclusions of the research.Then there is the problem of what changes in societyand its institutions the peacetime industrial uses of atomicenergy will produce. We have not yet learned how touse atomic energy to run machines; but who shall saythat we will not learn to so use it soon? The changesbrought out by peacetime uses of atomic energy may beas great as those that followed the use of steam 150 yearsago. The "industrial revolution," caused by steam, created cities, changed agriculture from subsistence to commercial farming, built a new economic system with manynew economic organizations, detroyed social classes andcreated new ones, redistributed wealth, revolutionizedwarfare, realigned the great powers, abolished the household economy, and reduced greatly the social functionsof the family. The "scientific revolution" following nuclear fission of the atom may change our society and itsinstitutions even more.For what these changes will be, the last person to lookto for the answers is the physicist and the natural scientist. They do not know and cannot know. It is not theirfield of work. Suppose I, as a social scientist, were askedto outline the next procedure in nuclear fission; I, of course, could not answer. It would be a foolish question.Yet the physicist is asked by the public, "What will bethe social effects of nuclear fission," as if he knew orcould say. It is the function of the physicist to split theatom's nucleus, but the function of saying what the socialconsequences will be is the social scientists.This concludes my first point, which is that scientificdiscovery causes social changes and social problems; andthat if Government sponsors research in natural science,it ought also to support the study of the social changesand social problems which the natural science researchescreate.II. My second point is that social science researchis just as necessary for national" defense as is research inradar or jet propulsion; the reason is that modern warsare total wars. Hence we need the mobilization of oursocial resources as well as our mechanical ones. Planes,ships, submarines, bombs and guns are not enough. Ourwhole democracy and our whole capitalistic economymust be mobilized, too. Mass production wins wars astruly as do men in uniform.We all hope, of course, that we shall have a lastingpeace. But I venture the opinion that if we have alasting peace it will not just happen, without our workingfor it. Any talk about peace that is not in terms ofpower is highly unrealistic. It is the powers that makewars, and it is the powers that will make the peace.The United States cannot play its proper role in helpingto keep the peace of the world without being strong.Hence we must be a strong nation. We must be prepared.But to be a strong nation means more than guns. Itmeans institutions that can be transformed quickly incase the peace is broken quickly. Military science doesnot give us all the strength we need. Military sciencemust be articulated with social science, just as the Department, the Army, and Navy must be articulated with theState Department.The problem may be posed this way. Let us supposethat the United States as a great power is carrying itsresponsibility in keeping the world peace with or withoutan international organization; and let us suppose thatdanger to the peace arises quickly and that we must act;then, in order to be able to act quickly, how much timemust have been spent in preparation. In Germany, I wastold that at least 6 or 7 years were required to preparefor war. They were speaking of wars of aggression. Butthe time of preparation is probably little different forwar of defense. The strictly military preparation is saidto require even less time than to prepare our social, economic, and political institutions.Social science research could do much in saying whatwe should do to prepare our institutions for such a national or international emergency. If an institute ofresearch were supported by the Government in this field,its first task might well be a careful study of the experience of the past two World Wars, on the part of theTHE UNIVERSITYOFvarious nations engaged; ourselves, Britain, France, Russia, Germany, Japan. The research would try to ascertain what transformations were necessary to put the socialinstitutions on a war basis, which were done adequatelyand which not, and how long was required in the variousnations, and what difficulties were. We needed mucheffort in the last two world wars and years of preparationbefore we were ready to do much fighting. We werefortunate to have allies and oceans to hold the enemywhile we prepared. We may not be so fortunate anothertime.How to prepare our institutions for such an emergencyis certainly not the task of military science. Nor is it theobligation of the natural scientist. Their task is to workon the weapons. The groups to whom the nation shouldlook are the social scientists whose function is to studysocial institutions. But this they cannot do much withoutresearch, which takes money, time, and research ability.III. May I say a word about the qualification of research in social science, since it is a somewhat morerecent development than research in the natural sciences?Research is more difficult in social science because of thelarger number of variables than are found in problemsof the physical sciences.Then, too, prediction in social science must be in termsof probabilities, since human will power and effort maymodify a prediction, a condition which could not arise,for instance, in astronomy. Nevertheless, research insocial science has many very creditable achievementswhich have proved reliable and trustworthy. To cite verymany of these would be too time consuming, but I shallmention a few as illustrations.There is the sampling technique in statistics that hastaken many years to develop. By its use, for instance,the fertility of the people in the United States can bedetermined with a high degree of accuracy from a smallsample of the population. Furthermore, the extent ofthe accuracy can be known. In work done on populations, the error is often less than 1 per cent. Thissampling technique on populations saves millions of dollars. Its use in marketing studies, in agriculture, and invarious fields of business proves reliable and saves largesums.Another illustration is called "quality control" in industrial production. Thus in making rayon there occurredfrom time to time imperfections in the product, makinga loss to the industry. By statistical methods of measurement developed in social science it is possible to findreadily these defects, eliminate them and to improve thequality of the product. During the war methods ofquality control, applied to naval armaments and munitions, are said to have^yielded much more reliability andto have saved the nation many millions of dollars.In the field of prediction, social science sometimes doesvery well indeed. Thus we are able to predict the population in the future, which is of value to industry and for CHICAGO MAGAZINE 5military considerations. These methods of prediction forfuture populations have been known since before 1920,and sometimes the population of the United States hasbeen predicted within a few hundred thousand of thenext census. We have predictions of this nature for thefuture populations of Russia, of western Europe, of Germany, Italy, and Japan. The reliability is greater theshorter the period for which the prediction is made.Information on the predictions of age groups in thepopulation and of death rates from the older techniquesof the life table and the newer techniques of the netreproduction rates have been of great use for the operation of our social-security programs.We have even been able to set up tables for the prediction of violations of parole, according to informationcollected on the life histories of prisoners whose namesare proposed for parole.There are, of course, areas in social science wherereliable results, trustworthy for both radical and conservative, are not so surely determined, but the achievements of the younger social sciences are sufficiently greatto assure the usefulness of research in social science. Astime goes on, results will become more exact.IV. I should also like to speak with reference tothe possible provisions for social science research in thelegislation on a National Research Foundation. If socialscience is listed as one of the fields for financial supportfrom the foundation, I would hope that the details ofthe support might be spelled out. Any general provisionneeds, I think, to be implemented. For instance, in viewof the great importance of social science for nationaldefense, for the adjustment of society to the productsof physical science research, and for the general welfare,it seems to me desirable to set up a special unit of thefoundation to be concerned with social science alone.There are such units or divisions in the proposed legislation. Thus there is a committee for health and medicalsciences or a division of medical research, and theremight also be a division on social science research. Ifsocial science be assumed to fall within the category ofbasic sciences, without special mention, along with adozen natural sciences, I fear it may not receive theattention and support it needs. There are, of course,many social sciences — history, economics, political science,sociology, anthropology, psychology, statistics, and others,with many thousands of researchers. But they have not associated very much with natural scientists ; and, in general,the natural scientists are not familiar with the research orthe personnel of the social sciences. So that if the director be a physical scientist, or if the board be made uplargely of natural scientists, and the legislation does notset up a special unit or units in social science, then thereis great danger that the mere inclusion of the term "socialscience" in the legislation will not mean much and thatsocial science will not get the sponsorship that its importance and possibilities of achievement merit.COLONEL GALBRAITH, P. O. W.We knew "Nick" Galbraith,'33, when he was a lieutenanton our military science staffIn the early thirties. When weheard he was taken prisonerwith our boys on Bataan wekept in touch with his wife,Leila Whitney, '29, for newswhich never seemed to arrive.While she waited in ColoradoSprings, Mrs. Galbraith servedas our local Foundation chairman.-Finally, early this fall, wehad news that he had beenliberated. From letters finallyreaching Mrs. Galbraith welearned that he was thirty pounds underweight, "weak andtired. We have had no animal proteins, fats or sugar inthree and a half years. They refused to give us Red Crossfood. . . . I've eaten snails from the trash pile, bran fromthe pig-sty, waste rice from the Nip kitchen while thehorses were fed our Red Cross rolled oats. . . ."After writing the story for the Magazine we rushed arequest to Mrs. Galbraith for a picture and any later developments. Imagine our pleasant surprise to receive theletter which follows. "Private Maroon," to which ColonelGalbraith refers, is the twelve-page news sheet we sendregularly to our alumni in service.Colorado Springs8 November 1945My "press agents" insist I reply to your letter myself,even though I am in the process of going through thehospital clinics which is keeping me mighty busy. Youappear to be interested in the "release" angle. Accordingly I'll jot down a few highlights along that line whichyou can rewrite as you see fit.The parachute crowd which dropped in before thewar was actually terminated had some rough treatmentby the Nips until the latter were prevailed upon to escortthe group to headquarters.Shortly after arrival there the news of capitulationreached that Nip headquarters, and the status of those"dastardly Americans who dared to put foot on the sacredsoil of Nippon" hastily altered. They were bowed to andhad their weapons and equipment returned. Then theywere escorted to our camp, the location of which wasknown to our people only as ten miles north of Mukden.An interesting sidelight here is that, as we learned later,our compound, which was located in the center of the"smoke-stack" district, had been publicized by the Nipsas an "airplane parts assembly plant."The Nip commander and his staff received the para-crowd with as much secrecy as he could, but some bright-eyed P.O.W. witnessed the arrival. Later by trespassingon forbidden soil, a few of the more hardy "convicts" wereable to peek through a window where they saw honest-to-God white men, "probably Americans," who werepointing their fingers at the Nip colonel (a thing which just isn't done in a P.W. camp) and wearing side-arms',Later tea was served, with Nip soldiers bowing to theunknown Occidentals.That was' sufficient news to the P.O.W. 's to arrive atthe conclusion that the war was over. There was nomilitary force available to take over the camp from theNips — the latter had no instructions from their own higherheadquarters, so a compromise had to be agreed upon.P.O.W.'s would remain under Nip custody and confinedto the compound, the "eso" {guardhouse) was emptied,Nip harassment terminated, Nips were resericted to theirpart of the compound.The real climax occurred a few days later when theRussian vanguard reached Mukden, after one of the reallygreat maneuvers of the war, and whose material accomplishment toward termination of the war has not yet beenfully appreciated, in my opinion. Three Russian captains,who arrived in Mukden in one of the first vehicles (anAmerican jeep), immediately and without escort soughtout our camp, crashed the gate, ordered all Nips to lineup in one corner of the compound, all P.O.W.'s to rallyalongside.The leader of the Russians mounted the steps of abarracks as a dais, held up his hand for silence. Silence,hell! This was our moment! No comparable group evergave anyone, anywhere such an ovation. These were ourdeliverers after three and a half years of horror! Whencalm finally prevailed the Russian removed his cap, heldup his hand, and spoke a few words that to us wereamong the most dramatic in recorded history: "By orderof the Russian Red commander, I from this moment declare you FREE!" O'Neill in his finest moments couldn'tequal such drama.But the end is not yet. Such words were not to be leftsuspended in mid-air without appropriate action. Whenthe Russian again obtained control of the situation, hedirected the Nips to assemble on the parade with theirarms and ammunition. They moved fast; for here wasthe one and only situation in life they understood: force.The ground was soon piled high with samurai swords andmachine guns. The Russian called out a score of Americans, presented each with a Nip rifle and bayonet and aword of congratulation. Formal military courtesies wereexchanged between the newly formed guard and the Russians.The next order was from the guard commander. TheNips lined up and were marched away into confinement.The world had indeed turned upside down.During this ceremony all the remaining P.O.W.'s, 1700strong, were lined up along the sidelines. What wouldbe the reaction after the "turnover"? Would these muchabused and starved human animals fulfill their often expressed threats, to cut the throat ol every Nip they wouldencounter? Emotions were at a high pitch. There wasnot sufficient power available to halt mob action. Thiswas a long awaited and long dwelled upon moment.(Concluded on Page 8)6Washington Star, August 8, 1945"Since the use of the atomic bomb, men have been pleading and praying for a narrowing of the gap between thesocial and the physical sciences.11With, no doubt, the best of intentions Dr. VannevarBush and his eminent colleagues in the Office of Scientific Research and Development implicitly threaten to doa great disservice to our country and to mankind. InJuly they published a recommendation for the establishing of a national research and scientific foundation.(Vannevar Bush, Science: The Endless Frontier. Washington: U. S. Government Printing Office, 1945. Pp. ix184.) The serious flaw consists of the fact that the proposal contained no reference to any need for stimulatingresearch and training in the social sciences.Dr. Bush writes: "It is clear from President Roosevelt'sletter that in speaking of science he had in mind thenatural sciences, including biology and medicine, and Ihave so interpreted his questions. Progress in other fields,such as the social sciences and the humanities, is likewiseimportant; but the program for science presented in myreport warrants immediate attention." Ibid., P. v. Thiswriter's judgment is that President Roosevelt's letter didnot provide as clear a mandate as Dr. Bush indicates, butthat granting the presidential mandate, Dr. Bush shouldhave felt obligated to include among" his recommendations a proposal for a co-ordinate report on#the field ofthe social sciences.A century ago August Comte wrote at length on thegreat gap between the social and so-called naturalsciences. By now this is a household idea. Yet our eminent scientists present a brief to the effect that it is in AND THE• By ROBERT F. WINCH, A.M. '39, Ph.D. '42the national interest to widen this gap. While the occasionally proposed "moratorium on science" is an impracticable counter-measure, it does seem only reasonableto give to the social sciences equality of opportunity atthis crucial time.Should this omission have occurred even in the twenties, it would have been somewhat more comprehensible.Then the social sciences were relatively less developed,their literature was less known, and social problems werecommonly thought to be the imaginative creations ofalarmists and Bohemians. In the interim the socialsciences have made progress. Moreover a depression anda war, both of unprecedented magnitude and violence,have sharpened public acuity to social problems. Without pausing to consider the fruitless question of whether or not the social sciences are yet "Scientific," we mayassert that their literature does enhance the perspectiveand understanding of the great issues of today and assist in anticipating those of tomorrow. Today the plethoraof social problems should place such training and research at the top of the priority list.It is coincidentally ironical that this omission shouldhave occurred at a time when we were being criticizedfor meeting our first colossal set of social problems inGermany with cautious bankruptcy. And at that timeit took no wizard to foresee more problems of greaternumber and magnitude in the rest of Europe, in thepopulous regions of Asia, and within our own borders.Yet it is we who regard ourselves as destined to furnishguidance, leadership, and example to defeated, disillusioned, and discouraged millions.Within our country and throughout the world weare confronted with the impact of intense, painful experiences on attitudes, values, -and mores. The veteran,the bereft, the impoverished, the hungry, and the minoritygroups, the broken families, broken bodies, broken mindswill be foci of social problems affecting our happiness,welfare, and future just as much as neurologic or cardiac diseases, and more than developments in electronicsand jet propulsion. Since the use of the atomic bombmen have been pleading and praying for a narrowingof the gap between the social and physical sciences.Never before has the cliche "mixed emotions" beenso pertirtfent as to the reaction to the news of the atomicRobert F. Winch, who wrote ,sCan We Afford Peace?"for our December, 1943, issue and "G.I. Rights vs. theRights of Man" for our November issue last year; wasformerly stationed in Washington with the Bureau ofShips, Navy Department, with the rank of Lieutenant.Retired from duty November 13, he has just returned tothe campus and to the University's Sociology Department.78 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEbomb. Relief that it was we rather than the enemywho successfully developed it, shame or indignation thatwe were so immoral as to use it, joy over the short-runprospect of a hasty end of the war, and from practicallyall quarters fear, a vague but earnest fear of the consequences of its invention — so ran the publicly and privately expressed reaction. This disquietude which mitigated our joy over final victory followed from our knowledge of the multitude of historical cases of independentdiscoveries of important scientific findings. We may succeed in erecting an impermable wall about our discovery, but we cannot prevent scientists of other nationalitiesfrom laboring until the secret becomes common knowledge. And then, it is clear that our main hope lies inour ability to avert war — a social problem.It is true, as Dr. Bush and his colleagues aver, that weneed basic and applied research in the biological andphysical sciences. But if we wish to have a society withinwhich to enjoy the benefits of such research, a great impetus must be given to social research.As the clouds of war closed about us from the thirtiesthrough Pearl Harbor day, social scientists came progressively to realize that their opportunity to contributeto the American conception of the good life would beterminated in the event of an enemy victory. When warwas upon us, there was much soul-searching in the socialsciences and some feeling of inadequacy in trying toanswer the question, "What have we to contribute to thewar effort?" For many the war meant the abandonment of long range research, the handling of administrative and short range research tasks, and the necessityof answering questions and making decisions, sometimesCOLONEL GALBRAITH (Continued from Page 6)But in the souls of those men there was somethinggreater than hatred and revenge. Not a sound was uttered, not a "cat-call" was sounded, every foot remainedmotionless. America may well be proud of her soldiersin that moment of great temptation.I better drop it at that point. There is so much morethat could and should be told. To be a little more intimate for the interest of my many good friends there,including that new chancellor, I might add that I amresponding in excellent style to proper diet, relief frommental harassment, and to the happiness and luxury thatis Americana. Expect to be on a leave status for severalmonths during which time I hope to drop in on the University.An added note of interest: among the dozen pieces ofmail I received in three and a half years was one copyof the Private Maroon. It had gotten by somehow without censorship, and what a great source of information itwas to the entire camp in those days of virtual incommunicado.I would be remiss if I didn't make one further state- on the basis of little or no research. And yet it is possible that if such a history should ever be written, weshould find that the social scientists performed not un-creditably.Now that the storm has abated, social scientists mayonce again search their souls — in freedom^. To thiswriter it appears that such introspection should impelthem to conclude that not only is our future coursefraught with peril, but that by training and professionthey are the ones who should solemnly assume responsibility to ascertain and disseminate information as to howman can get along with man, nation with nation. Wedo have some knowledge; the record demonstrates thatwe need much more.It is clear that we are in need of more powerful research techniques and more incisive constructs. We mustbear in mind that most of the difficult intellectual workis done when we have learned how to state problems.To express urgent social problems in researchable termsis our immediate task. It is a task we must set aboutearnestly, even feverishly, for we may have but one moreinterbellum period to get the answers. To develop morepowerful research techniques and more incisive constructswe need more men, good men, new men; we need freshperspectives. We need the inspiration, encouragement,and assistance of the proposed foundation.To this writer it seems like the most perverse inversionof priority to place on a secure national footing researchand training in only the biological and physical scienceswhen the threatening problems are social. For militarypurposes we must have physical research, for humanitarian reasons we must have biological research, but forthe future of civilized man we must have social research.ment, and it comes from the heart. During those manydark months when I had time for contemplation and introspection, many of my sustaining values could be attributed directly to the influence on me of my great University and the many men and women I knew there whocontributed so much to that greatness.This picture was taken in the happy days at Fort Stot-senburg, Luzon, before families were evacuated and before international entanglements reached a crisis. At thattime I was in command of the 1st Battalion, 24th FieldArtillery, Philippine Scouts, whose war record later was sooutstanding and will make the headlines when the Bataancampaign finds its way into print. I was summarily pulledout of that command to join Gen. MacArthur's staff uponthe organization of his headquarters, where I was later tobecome Assistant Chief of Staff — G-4, and after that,"ignominy"! But it's all over now even though the processof reorienting a Rip Van Winkle mind is requiring muchmore intensive study than I had contemplated.Most sincerely,Nick Galbraith,Col. G.S.C.THE DISCIPLINED SCHOLAR IN ANUNDISCIPLINED WORLD• By JOSEPH A. BRANDTThe reprint goesin the wastebasketAGAIN, we are at peace. The most calamitous ofall wars is over. Unafraid «as we were to face thetest of battle, we turn once more with fear andmisgiving to the task of so governing ourselves that weand our neighbors may live in harmony. We have saidso often war is inevitable, that we now believe this to bethe truth. Rarely does even the most ingenuous everproclaim that peace, too, may be inevitable. So we create the framework of our new peace now out of the toolsof war. And so low is national and international morality today, so fearful are we of ourselves as a peoplecapable of disciplining ourselves, that we resurrect theformula of the ill-starred Holy Alliance of the last century as the one sure guaranty of peace. in our time.There have always been wars but I do not believe therealways will have to be wars. The number of wars andthe increasing number of them, since the beginning ofthe Industrial Revolution is cause for alarm. But aneven greater cause for alarm is the knowledge that massmurder began to increase only when we began mass education, which coincided with the Industrial Revolution.Thus it is inescapable that either the masses should notbe educated, if the meager learning we give them cantruly be called education, or there is something wrong,tragically wrong and betraying, in our educational leadership of the people.In war times, we rely for our leadership on the admiralsand the generals. In peace times, we depend upon thepolitician and the statesman for guidance. The generalsand the admirals can win victory only if they have thetools of war at "hand and a people trained to carry out thestrategy needed to win. And it is equally true in peacetimes, that the leadership of a people can win and keeppeace only if the people they represent have wisdom,charity, tolerance. And this is the task of the scholar.Instead of wisdom, charity, and tolerance which thescholar should have implanted in the people, the morning after victory finds among us growing tensions, increasing and dangerous mounting hatreds. We destroyedthe beast of anti-semitism in Germany only to find it rising fourfold in our own midst. We fought in the Pacificto free the brown peoples from the tyranny of the Japanese master while at home a tenth of our populationwrithes restlessly under the lash of racial bigotry. We area nation dedicated to the principles of Christ but we remain pharisaical despite the countless sermons preachedfrom our pulpits. Where, then, as a last resort, may we turn to rescueour people from the grip of ignorance, stop them in theirrace toward self destruction? We can turn only to theAmerican scholar; and if the peace of the future fails, itwill be because the scholar was not equal to the task.The American scholar assumed this burden when heplaced the priceless secret of energy and matter at thedisposal of the government and in the greatest triumphof scholarship in modern times, joined forces with government and industry to produce the atomic bomb.While the atomic bomb has proved there is no suchthing as the absent minded professor, it has projected theprofessor into the forefront of government. When thescholar decided to turn over to the government his knowledge of the atom, he at once assumed responsibility forthe kind of government which would use the atomicbomb. And since the government is the people, hedestroyed once and for all his right to ignore the people.Consciously or unconsciously, the American scholarhas lived aloof from the people. When he writes, heresents nothing so much as to have what he has writtencalled "popular." Now, popular of course, has referenceto the people, the masses; the people whose total moralityconstitutes national and world morality; the people whoif led by the scholars and the thinkers might create a newworld of peace and of plenty; the people, who neglectedand scorned by the scholar, will turn in ever increasingnumbers to listen to the demagogue and be the willingtool of the dictators.This lack of interest in the past in the welfare of thepeople as people is so universally true, as to constitute ineffect a national tragedy. The fact that the scholarusually disdains to write a popular book is but one evidence. Most small college towns, for instance, are poorlygoverned, badly administered, because in the main thefaculties of the colleges and universities live in communities but are rarely a part of them. There is no snobberymore calculated than academic snobbery!The time has come when the American scholar mustreexamine himself in the light of his new obligations, newonly in the sense that it is never too late to acknowledgea duty not done. American scholarship, as it is atpresent constituted, is hopelessly inadequate to give thepeople intellectual and spiritual leadership; and unlessour people have such leadership, all the battleships, allthe planes, armies, and atomic bombs and all the wordsin the treaties of peace soon to be written, will not availus against a future war.I write only of American scholarship, because we mustrescue ourselves from the evil inheritance of Germanscholarship, which we in turn now are about to reform.910 T H E U N I V E k S IT Y OF C H I C A G O M A G A Z I N EJoseph A. Brandtrecently left his postas Director of theUniversity Press tobecome presidentof Henry Holt &Sons. One of hislast acts before leaving campus was thedelivery of "The Disciplined Scholar inan UndisciplinedWorld" as the September convocationaddress.Ine scholar speaks an international language, he is theoniy true cosmopolite; and vigorous decisiveness maygain years for the future in this country and in England,where German influence had less effect and where as aconsequence democracy has been less injured than in mostother nations.Now, let us see how the American scholar is created,for in the strait jacket of academic life lies the key to hisescape from present ineffectiveness in the world and theway to a life of newer richness and glory.The scholar comes up through an almost unvaryingroutine. He completes an undergraduate education insumc college which consists of a mosaic of subjects to beforgotten as soon as the examination is over. I speak ofthe generality of colleges, not of the brilliant exceptions.Either by inclination or at the suggestion of some interested professor, the student is sent on to some university to work cither in a subject of his real choice or onechosen for him by a professor who sees in him a satellite.As a graduate student, he completes a master's degreewhich in many of our universities has become a kind ofsuper bachelor's degree. Then comes the great adventure, the pursuit of the doctor of philosophy degree. Toobtain this coveted union card, he undergoes certaintests, completes certain prescribed subjects, and sets outto write a dissertation. The object of this regimen, ofcourse, is to enable the scholar-to-be to discern the chafffrom the wheat, to know what is true and what is false.He is supposed to learn independence of judgment.No one could quarrel with such a worthy purpose. Butthe purpose and the reality of the doctor of philosophydegree in most of our universities today, are as removedas Tojo is from the White House. Instead of ending hisformal education as a man able to think, he is more likelyto become a hooded automaton. The key to the failureof the institution of the doctoral degree in this nationlies in the fact that in only rare instances does the candidate, seeking intellectual independence, have any independence while seeking it.The institution of the doctor of philosophy degree, asat present constituted in the majority of our universities lies heavy like a hand of doom. If I write feelingly aboutthe institution, I write with knowledge. In sixteen yearsof serving three of our great universities as publisher oftheir scholarship, I have read countless Ph.D. dissertations from virtually every institution offering the degree.With some exceptions, most of the dissertations represented a tragic waste. The student had been cheatedwhen he thought he had reached the highest attainmentin American intellectual life. He had been taughtto be cautious when he should have had thecourage of youth. He had become confused throughveneration of false academic gods when he shouldhave been clear. He had spent his time on minutiae whileRome burned. He had been conditioned to become anobserver when he should have begun to understand thatthought may be translated into action. Most tragic ofall, because he possessed something rare, not shared bythe common man, he felt superior and aloof from them.He had joined a world of his own, divorced from the people, the academic world.For the good of the people of America, for the good ofthe people of the world, the institution of the doctorateshould either be abolished by our universities or it shouldbe reformed so that it will reunite the people and thescholars, to the end that the true product of scholarshipcan be shared by all the people, not by the learned alone.I am not a lonely, misguided heretic when I make thisplea. I have talked with far too many far-seeing scholarswho share my alarm, who want something done, but whoarc defeated by the inertia of academic life. They remain silent when they might speak, for they must livewith their colleagues. They may annoy trustees and beaccused of keeping students away. But they should notbe silent. They should speak up. Only by so doing canthey dissipate the growing poison of fear which is socharacteristic of academic life. If the scholar fears, howcan he demand courage of his students who in turn become the people?The world of the past, that world preceding the Industrial Revolution, was a world dominated by the scholarsin the humanities and the social sciences. The world in- .augurated by the Industrial Revolution has been governedby the inventor and the pure scientist. One often hearsthe remark that the modern humanistic scholar or thestudent of society has not kept pace with the natural orphysical scientist. The charge is untrue. The humanistic student is keeping pace with events but he is enamoredwith the belief that learning is the possession of the aristocracy, the aristocracy of fellow scholars. The scholarin the problems of society is well aware of his obligations,but again, he is listening for the praise of the colleague,rather than communicating his findings, usually disturbing, to the people. The social scientist's newest creation,sociology, deliberately created a terminology to confusethe people.The wants of people are simple, elemental. They wantfood, shelter, love, and security. Even if they had theTHE UNIVERSITY OFtime to read the works ot our modern sociologists, theycould not understand what they read. Nor could anyother person, however literate he might be, unless he hadlearned the magic new incantations which make sociologymysterious and therefore, learned. Sociology illustratesperfectly the disdain of the scholar for the people, thevery people the sociologist should serve.Now, the masses are the voters who cast the ballot onelection day. They determine the kind of leaders wehave — the Rankins and Bilbos on the one hand, the Mon-roneys and the Roosevelts on the other. The people arethe voters who think things through. They want thefacts. They want the truth. Once they have learnedwhat they think is the truth, they in turn influence themasses. It is this kind of people for whom the scholarmust wme, must work.All learning is not dead in our country. We have comefar along the road of cultural progress, even though theaccumulation of today's scholarship may seem meagerwith the great learning of the past. We have secured forourselves a standard of living which even John Lawwould have thought preposterous. We have moved toward an appreciation of the dignity of the individualwhich would have startled Queen Elizabeth. We havecomforts in our homes which the advanced Romanswould have thought improbable. We have the materialthings which make life worth living. It is on the spiritualside that we are lagging. But a few hardy souls areaware that unless the people are carried forward withBLIMP PILOTWe learned about blimps from Jack Bernhardt, '40,who dropped in at Alumni House late in October, wearing civies. Ensign Bernhardt was assigned to the U. S. S.McKean in March, 1941. He left the destroyer for flighttraining two months before it was sunk but not before hewas awarded the Silver Star for "heroism and gallantryin action in trie Pacific" by Admiral Nimitz.In July, 1943, Lieutenant Bernhardt became a blimppilot assigned to anti-sub patrol duty on the east coast,which included escorting convoys the first 200 milesout of Boston. Jack made blimp history and won a commendation for participating in the longest trans -oceanicblimp flight ferrying a blimp from Bermuda to the Azores.Blimp piloting during the eighteen hour stretches overthe ocean can be monotonous except in high winds. Thatis why they carry three eo -pilots in addition to a crewof six men. There are forty men in the ground handlingparty, not to mention a tractor or so — all used in landing the critter. Most of the danger in blimp pilotingis in the landing. Blimps get viciously temperamentalin squally weather and fight back at hangar doors.Jack returned to civilian life September 24, and withhis wife whom he met in Boston and married on January12, 1945, will remain in Chicago. CHICAGO MAGAZINE 11the tide of history, civilization is doomed. These aresymbols, far too few it is true, of an awakening socialconscience on the part of the scholar. These are thescholars who seek to reach the people, the thinkers amongthe masses. They have learned to write clearly, to takea courageous stand on issues concerning the public, tooffer the people for what it may be worth, the results ofhonest research, stated so lucidly that even a Philadelphialawyer could understand it.The American scholar must ask himself today, has hebeen honest with the people? Has he not been moreconcerned with the ephemeral glory of a reprint, paid forby him, sent to the president and a hundred other waste-paper baskets, than with a world slowly going toward alingering, agonizing death? Savanarola knew that deathalone could atone for his heresies ; but he pursued his pathundaunted, because he loved the people. Galileo recanted, because he loved life and perhaps was dubiousabout the ultimate glory of research as an end in itself.Martin Luther stood before the door of Wittenberg, conscious that he could do only right. There can no longerbe delay on the part of our scholars. A world is aflamewith doubt, terror, hatred; that flame can only bequenched by the scholar, writing in the loneliness of hisstudy, but writing with a passion for the right, for thewelfare of the people, of whom he is at present one ofthe most ignored, but among whom he may ultimatelyrank without a peer."DUTY TO LIVE"Just about everything has happened to Emmett Dead-man, '39, since he left his position as assistant to theforeign editor of The Chicago Daily Times in November,1940, to join the Air Corps.In a Flying Fortress over Germany on July 26, 1943,he was shot down over Germany and held prisoner untilApril 29, 1945. After his deliverance and his return tothe States he was married on June 19, 1945, to ClaireLyons, a Northwestern graduate (and Phi Beta Kappa,Emmett adds, with an exclamation point.) The ceremony was performed in Bond Chapel by Emmett's father, the Reverend Roy E. Deadman, an alumnus.While in prison, Emmett wrote a novel which he iscalling Duty to Live. It is to be published early nextyear by Houghton-Mifflin Company and is dedicated toCharles E. Merriam, Professor Emeritus of Political Science and a personal friend. When you read the novel,don't blame the H-M Company proof readers for misspelling the author's name which will appear as Dedmon. Emmett confesses he is a little weary of the jokesthrough the years inspired by the correct spelling!Retiring from service as a captain September 1, withan Air Medal among his collection of awards, EmmettDeadman has returned to The Chicago Daily Times.WOODNOTES WILD AND TAME• By FREDERICK S. BREEDJungle LifeOut of the night emerged two desperate men. Underthe light that floods the northwest corner of KimbarkAvenue and Fifty-seventh Street, they hurriedly huddledto divide the spoil. They had just committed a robbery. A squad car approached with the victim on therunning board. Swiftly the outlaws streaked for ColonelMather's alley, the police in hot pursuit. Guns barkedand a robber slumped to the pavement. We watchedhim lifted from a pool of. blood. Shortly thereafter hebreathed his last.Out of the woods that sheltered him stepped an uncommon visitor. He strode across the lawn ahead of us asleisurely and self-composed as a big contented cat. Hisample fur was iron gray, his tail was long and hairless,his nose was like the cherry on the face of old St. Nicholas.Unhurried still, he slowly ambled up the trunk of a leaning oak, surveyed the contemporary scene with no morecatastrophic emotion than a well-known chief executivefrom Missouri, then stepped down the tree headfirst andfaded away into the woodland and the valley below.Yes, ladies and gentlemen, a nice big fat opossum.Exit Texas• Ah, the once great state of Texas. Geographically, it'sstill immense. Drive for half a day from the border townof Texarkana, and you arrive at Dallas. Drive all thenext day and you roll into Big Spring. Then anotherhalf-day stretch and you pull up in the shining city ofEl Paso.* What an empire! Turn it around on Texarkana as a pivot and it overlaps the great midwestmetropolis.When Texas declared war on the Axis, it was the beginning of the end. When peace was arranged betweenTokyo and Austin, it took Nimitz, a native son, to bringthe fighting Texans to a stop. Now these intrepid cowhands, ranchers, and rangers are returning from the wars,but returning to a different world. The days of Texasare sadly numbered; the days of Missouri are brightwith new hope and glory. The cowhand on a pony isbeing bartered for the hillman on a mule. Long ears aremore than coronets and simple faith than Texas bloodin Washington today. In his book entitled A Texan inEngland, Frank Dobie — from Texas, suh — has fascinatingly described one of the latest lone-star exploits, the conquest of England. His next book should carry the title,Texas: An Obituary.Rescue the PerishingGolden voices on the radio, unctious, oleaginous, aretaking over as moral arbiters of the nation. Paragons ofelocutionary virtue, they pour their honeyed phrases into the ears of millions daily, hourly.

Silly boy!Can't he save his brother?Snake in the GrassWe went for a stroll on a woodland road, under thearching trees. While I kept in the clear of the roadway,now carpeted with green from long disuse, Smoky, noseto the ground, tail in the air, was weaving back and forththrough the tangled undergrowth. Suddenly a sharpwoof, then another. The cocker had come to a haltin a plot of near-by grass. I proceeded to investigate. A large snake was facing him, coiled for action.At the first tap of a stick the savage-looking reptile rolledover on his back, an easy prey. Flushed with a trophy ofthe hunt, we hastened home and deposited the awesomeserpent outside the kitchen door. Obviously, the animalwasn't dead. When we accommodatingly rolled him overon his stomach, he forthwith writhed and landed on hisback, and then lay there still as death. Thus we left him,made our way into the living room where the ladies wereengaged in mortal confab. As soon as the patter and thechatter had clattered to a temporary lull, we invited saidladies to have a look. But the snake, the snake — it wasn'tthere atall!Something of a mystery? Well, not completely. Thepuff adder, for that he was, is a harmless and notoriousbluff. He coils like a rattler, puffs out his cheeks andlooks like a rattler, ready to strike. He slides his forkedtongue in and out and hisses terror at his enemy. Then,if the battle goes against him, he resorts, as the old naturalists say, to "playing 'possum" "feigning death." Evidently he knows quite well when to take to his heels, or,rather, ribs, for his legs, all but the vestiges, have longago been lost in the course of evolution.You doubtless remember columnist Breed's "Witches'Broth With Animal Crackers" in the May issue. This month,when he mailed in his "Woodnotes" he wrote: "The response to my 'Witches' Broth' was mixed indeed. I thoughtof if as a jingle. A professor in the East read it to his family after dinner and spoke of it noncommittally as 'yourverses'. I was elated when another referred to it as apoem. He was not a distinguished professor of Englishliterature. But the crowning blow came from the University of Michigan, where a member of the faculty completely devoid of literary discrimination called it doggerel.Certainly the world is in a state of confusion."12THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 13YokelsAffecting the duneland style of the University Treasurer, in flannel shirt and corduroy pants, I seem to passas a native son in the village where the groceries are dispensed.

A foreigner makingnotes at public functions, celebrations, and parades soonaroused the suspicions of the local "F. B. I." which quickly caused an official nocturnal disturbance at the Piersonhousehold. But when the chief of police, checking thecontents of Don's correspondence, discovered a letter froma high Brazilian official expressing the hope that the Pier-sons were enjoying the famous Bahian hospitality, therewere handshakes around and Bahian guest Pierson wentback to bed.The results of this study were published in 1942 bythe University of Chicago Press under the title Negroesin Brazil and Donald Pierson was awarded the 1943 JohnAnisfield prize of $1,000 for the best book of the year onrace relations. A translation in Portuguese has just beenpublished in Brazil where it is meeting with highly complimentary reviews and a cordial reception in Bahia,where they now refer to him as an honorary Bahian.In 1937 the Piersons returned to the States where, forthe next two years, Don was associated with Robert E.Park, of our department of sociology, who was carryingon research at Fisk University in Nashville.At the end of this period, Pierson received his doctor- California, Here We Come, From a Victory Garden, a lowly carrot grown Gargantuan.

Morgenstern, '20, J.D. '22Robert M. Hutchins is now started on his sixteenthyear as chief administrative officer of the University, firstunder the title of president, and since July 1, of chancellor. The only special aspect of this particular year is thatwhen it is completed, Mr. Hutchins will have been headof the University longer than any of his predecessors, afact that may well come as a surprise to alumni.Harry Pratt Judson was president for 15 years and 11months, from March 19, 1907, to February 20, 1923. Hewas, in addition, acting president from Mr. Harper'sdeath, January 10, 1906, until his own inauguration. ButMr. Hutchins was elected president April 25, 1929, andfor this period of seven months prior to his inauguration,he was active in the University. Mr. Harper was president from July 1, 1891, for 14 years and seven months.The other two presidents, Ernest DeWitt Burton andMax Mason were in office only a few years each.The two administrations that most closely parallel eachother, in vitality, experiment, progress, and even excitement, are those of Harper and Hutchins. Mr. Judsonwas installed with implicit if not express instructions tobe a conservator, and to give the University a chanceto catch its breath. Neither Mr. Burton nor Mr. Masonwas in office long enough to have a marked influence onthe University, although Mr. Burton began, and Mr.Mason continued, the expansion of the University following the period of reflection and consolidation underMr. Judson. These two started out to gtt money for theUniversity, Mr. Burton vitalizing the so-called "Development Campaign" of 1924-26, and Mr. Mason using hiswinning personality without the cumbersome devices ofcampaigns to charm the money out of those who had it.Mr. Harper had his own decided ideas as to what auniversity should be and how to attain those ends. As hasbeen so often quoted, he insisted that the new institutionmust be a university rather than a mere college. He andMr. Rockefeller formed their partnership at a time whenAmerican education was still coasting along on the kindsof reform typified by Mr. Eliot at Harvard, and whenAmerican higher education consisted, with two exceptions, of colleges rather than universities. He was inalmost complete disagreement with his contemporaryeducators, who viewed him as a wild man, but he had astrong appeal for those who were not in his profession.Before he was through, Mr. Harper had established theuniversity idea of graduate study and research firmly inthe American scene. He did it because he was able,through the soundness of his ideas and his missionaryzeal, to win the unparalleled generosity of Mr. Rockefeller, and so was able to proceed on a vast and influential scale of demonstration. Mr. Harper was an iconoclast, and he made the University in his own image.In all this, Mr. Harper had one great advantage. He was starting a new institution, and he could pick itsmembers from among those who agreed with his ideas.So from the start he had control of the University, andcould decide where it was going, for by and large he hada group of converts all zealously dedicated to the propositions he had established.Mr. Hutchins came into the University when it hadoutgrown, at the sedate age of 38 years, its exuberanceand its formative years, and when a second generation,who knew not Harper, had followed the pioneers. LikeMr. Harper, he came at a time when American educationagain was coasting along on its own inertia, and when theneed for change was admitted but not attempted. Andlike the first president, he wanted to achieve, rather thanmeditate upon, the reform of education. So he movedfast, and sometimes he moved so fast that he did not waitto allow the succession of shocks to be absorbed. At least,to those who were uncertain or in disagreement, heseemed to be moving with reckless speed, although tohis own mind, progress was tortuous.Mr. Harper had actually moved even faster, because hehad his entire program outlined before there was a building or faculty; but the impact of anything Mr. Hutchinsdid was much more severe, at least internally, because hewas changing an established institution. The world ofthe educators resounded with cries of scorn and howlsof anguish at this upstart, who was even younger thanthat first radical had been, and had in addition a razor-sharp skill m rhetoric.Mr. Hutchins has fought for many things, some of themprimary, such as the rebirth of true liberal education,and some of them, such as clarity of organization andmethod, secondary to these fundamental ends. He hashad as turbulent a time as Mr. Harper, on educationaland collateral problems. Where Mr. Harper had hisextra-mural battle on his "atheistic" Divinity School, Mr.Hutchins had his with the lunatic fringe who thoughtthey saw communists corrupting the young. Both menstood up and fought, and each established for his owngeneration the principle of academic freedom.So far the great triumph of Mr. Hutchins has beenwhat he has done for liberal education. He has established the College as an independent unit solely devotedto general education, with a curriculum that is uncluttered with specialization of any kind and free from eventhe influence of the specialists.The loudest criticism Mr. Hutchins has received fromthe educators, reaching even the stage of formal resolutions, was evoked by that program. But just as theexample of Harper and his new University of Chicagochanged higher education from the college to the university level, so the College which Mr. Hutchins conceivedis steadily shaping the purposes of the American colleges.It is of no importance that the educators prefer to confuse or ignore the source of the change; the change isbeing made. The University remains as influential undeiHutchins as it was under Harper and it is still as original and courageous as it was then.SENATOR HUFFMAN OF OHIOJames W. HuffmanOn October 7 t h,1945, Governor FrankJ. Lausche of Ohio appointed James W.Huffman to succeedHarold H. Burton inthe United States Senate. At the age of fifty-one another Universityof Chicago alumnusenters the nationalscene at Washingtonto serve his country.Jim is a country boy,born in a log cabin inMuskingum County, Ohio. He attended his native country school, high school at Ashland, Ohio, then OhioWesleyan and Ohio State Universities and studied Lawat the University of Chicago, receiving his LL.B. in 1922.He had taken time out for service abroad in World WarI, participating in four major offensives and serving sixmonths beyond the Rhine in the Army of Occupation.He taught high school and superintended chautauquas toearn money to finish his education.Jim's good friend and classmate, Governor of IllinoisDwight H. Green, '20, JD '22, describes him at Chicagoas being a good student, about whom they often remarkedthat he was going places. Huffman was always interestedand active in politics, school campaigns and outsidepolitics as well. About two hours before the election ofsenior class president in their last year, Jim, a member ofPhi Delta Phi, decided to put over one of theirmen for class president. With his genius for eleventhhour organization and promotion for an opposition candidate, Jim all but beat the Phi Alpha Delta in Dwight'scamp. On his office wall in the Statehouse at Springfield,Dwight has a picture of the group admitted to the Barby the State Supreme Court. Dwight says Jim, standingnext to him, is the most prosperous looking man in thegroup.Jim specializes in corporation law. He ably represented the City of Columbus in its fight on gas rates asspecial counsel and extended this practice to other Ohiocities. For two years he served on the Public UtilitiesCommission of Ohio. Last year he ran for Governor ofOhio and was beaten in the primary by Frank J. Lauschewho, upon his election, appointed Jim to be Director ofCommerce, and has now advanced him to the U. S.Senate.Jim demands full cooperation by the United States in world affairs and the maintenance of peac*. His friendspredict, however, that he will riot expect our side to doall the cooperating. He describes himself as a liberalDemocrat and he wants full emphasis placed on theword, liberal. He stands squarely for economy in government and a balanced budget.Jim inherited as father-in-law that stalwart Democrat,Vic Donahey. Three times Governor of Ohio, with oneterm in the U. S. Senate and refusal to seek a secondterm, Vic Donahey has left a deep imprint on the politicallife of Ohio. He voted against the Roosevelt supportedSt. Lawrence Waterways Treaty with one of his famousone-sentence speeches: "We went across; they didn'tcome across." Vic is inaccurately called an Isolationisttoday. Jim Huffman very definitely and outspokenly isnot an Isolationist. He will approach foreign issues withan open mind, guided by intelligent self-interest.It is reported that Cal Coolidge's dad broke a long,persistent and absolute silence, when confronted withrepeated praise of his son by a small group of Chicagobankers, touring New England and standing on the oldman's door«step waiting for an invitation to come in,(which they did not get) with: "Well, Cal will never doanything rash." Jim Huffman will never do anythingrash. Sanity and caution are inborn. But you will neverlack an invitation to come in at Jim's house. They donot even lock the front door. His whole nature is essentially friendly.When Jim's appointive term is over he WILL "chooseto run", seeking an elective term in the Senate. Thatchoice has already been made and announced. He isgoing up against a battle royal, one that will tax everyresource at his command. In this Jim is just givinganother exhibition of that true mettle which has carriedhim so far on his journey. The job of serving in theUnited States Senate 'today is a man-sized job; the American public, a hard taskmaster. The American peoplenever expected more from their representatives nor knewless about what they really wanted.Starting his career as Assistant Attorney General ofIllinois, serving as Executive Secretary to Governor VicDonahey of Ohio, then two years on the Ohio PublicUtilities Commission, Jim, besides being well groundedin law, has a background of practical experience in government. Steady, reliable, persevering, efficient, a devoted family man with a deep knowledge of human needsand public questions, Jim Huffman will serve his country well and reflect credit upon the University of Chicago and its training.WILLIAM S. HARMAN, '0015NEWS OF THE QUADRANGLES• By CHET OPALChancellor Robert M. Hutchins receives a War Department Scroll honoring the University for its major role inthe development of the atomic bomb from Major GeneralLeslie R. Groves, head of the atom research project. Leftto right: President Ernest C. Colwell, Chancellor Hutchins,Dr. Arthur C. Compton, Gen. Groves, Col. J. D. Nichols.(Acme Photo)Scrollwork on the AtomOn October 10, in ceremonies as lacking in fanfareas the leakage of a military secret, the University washonored by the War Department for its contributionto the invention of the war-ending atomic bomb. Ascroll, signed by the former and present secretaries ofwar, Stimson and Patterson; was placed in ChancellorHutchins' hands by Maj. Gen. Leslie R. Groves, whoheaded the army atomic bomb project.Mandel Hall, scene of the presentation ceremonies,was filled with hundreds of persons who worked on theatomic weapon — officials of the University who handledand channeled the multitudinous operations, workers inthe Metallurgical Laboratory, and representatives of themore than one hundred educational institutions and industrial firms which sent employees to the project oncampus. It was on behalf of these that Mr. Hutchins accepted the scroll. He took the occasion to point a moral:"At a time when disclosure of scientific information innucleonics is being debated, it is worthwhile to remindourselves that we never would have had the atomic bombif the ideas and experiments of scientists of every country, including those which were our enemies in this war,had not been available to us."Earlier, on Sept. 29, the Army-Navy E pennant hadbeen placed atop a mast at the Clinton Laboratories,which the University of Chicago operated until lastJuly 1. The Great DebateThe debate on disclosing the so-called secret of theatomic bomb, to which Mr. Hutchins referred at MandelHall, has placed the University in the position of interpreter and pleader before the world bar.Notable for his efforts in this regard has been Vice-President Reuben G. Gustavson, who, since his coming,has been the spokesman for science. A series of addresses on the platform and before the microphone hastaken much of his time since the first bomb was droppedon Hiroshima. He has appeared on the Town Meetingof the Air, has given a half-hour talk on the Mutual Network, has appeared twice on the Round Table with Mr.Hutchins, and has gone before a score of groups to tellabout nuclear physics and discuss secrecy.A towering figure, his voice firm and resonant withconviction and confidence, talking without notes andwith a spontaneous wit and coloration in his language, hehas not only given the best exposition of the history ofthe atom but also, possibly, the strongest arguments fora free exchange of scientific information. Attempts bythis country to keep the secret of the atomic bomb, Mr.Gustavson has insisted, will sterilize research in nuclearphysics and unquestionably stand in the way of the useof atomic power for the benefit of mankind.The line between military and non-military researchis too nebulous for safety, he has said, and hence nodemarcation and restriction should be attempted. Unrestricted research would permit attack once more on suchproblems as cancer, heredity, the aging process, and bacterial biochemistry, this time with tools developed in nuclear research. Such studies have perforce gone underground with military secrecy; but the time has come fortheir revival. The University's own new institutes ofnuclear studies, metals, and radiobiology and biophysics,wait upon a decision on this crucial issue; but the echoesand reinforcements from obviously objective scientistselsewhere emphasize the acuteness of the problem for allscience everywhere.Harold C. Urey, Nobel Prize chemist recently appointed a member of the Institute of Nuclear Studiesstaff, has gone a-lobbying with others from the campus,including Leo Szilard. They have planted enough doubtin Washington about certain hurry-up policies being promoted in Congress that a brake has been put on the lawmakers and the entire issue thrown open for fuller consideration. International control of the atomic bombmanufacturing formula has been the principal charge tothe jury. Yield a bit of American sovereignty? they ask.Of course, they answer: we do it every time we make atreaty. They recommend that in addition to internationalcontrol of the atomic bomb, a system of inspections, applied to all nations without discrimination, be institutedto guarantee that none is attempting to make the bomb.16THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 17Prof. Urey has disclosed, for example, that five nations have the knowledge necessary for bomb manufacture: Denmark and France, as well as the United States,Great Britain, and Canada; Niels Bohr of Denmark andPierre Auger of France, who worked on the bomb here,have the knowledge under their hats. It seems, however, to be a question of how much you can keep upyour sleeve.Lending his logic and cold eloquence to the great debate has been Chancellor Hutchins, who made his mostpointed plea in a sermon in Rockefeller Memorial Chapel October 14, when he called for the immediate framingand adoption of the constitution of a world state and thedisclosure of the bomb "secret.""The United States, by producing the atomic bomb,"he said, "has surrendered its impregnable position andmade itself vulnerable from every quarter of the globe.The United States has the greatest stake in a world stateand a world community. Since the great aim is a worldcommunity, the great task is education. A world community can exist only with world communication, .whichmeans more than extensive shortwave facilities scattered about the world. It means common understanding,a common tradition, common ideas, and common ideals.We do not know what education could do for us, because we have never tried it. We must try it now. Thetask is overwhelming, and the chance of success is slight.We must take the chance or die."On the other hand, William F. Ogburn, distinguishedservice professor of sociology, suggested turning Manhattan Island "back to the Indians" and breaking upChicago into 100 towns of 40,000 population each toavoid obliteration by atomic bombs in the next war.(See PP 3-5) Two major problems confront the world,he said: the breaking up of big cities into towns andvillages in order to escape the bomb and the constructing of a world government to banish the use of the bombin war. The second problem actually decides the firstproblem, although Prof. Ogburn expressed high scepticism over the possibility of outlawing use of the bomb,or of preventing war itself. He did suggest, however,that stifling research and the, free flow of scientific information "may kill in the United States the goose thatlays the golden eggs."Merriam and Lillie: Creative EvolutionNel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita. . . . Dante, inthe midpoint of his life, in the year 1300 and the year35 of his own life, sets down the first line of his divinecomedy, achieves the synthesis: thought and emotion fusein the person of one, and history has established for it amathematical point by which to mark its movements.And yet, accepting age 35 as the middle of his life, Danteperhaps recalled a line from the Psalms: "The days ofour years are threescore years and ten."All this is by way of prelude. Two eminent men ofthe University, both aged threescore and ten, havereached their syntheses : Charles E. Merriam in Syste matic Politics and Ralph S. Lillie in General Biologyand Philosophy of Organism. The volumes, both published by the U. of C. Press, are deserving of notice forseveral reasons. The most important of these, probably,is the fact that both men believe in creative evolution,the political scientist as well as the biologist. Also striking is the fact that it is the political scientist who usesthe phrase, not the biologist. And both, having arrivedat a high plateau from which to contemplate the worldand lose their own identities, view the mass and seegood things in it: life goes on, but, more than this, itgoes on to better things. There is a great faith in boththese venerable preachers, and reading them, one has theconviction that not even the atomic bomb — which wasdropped into history after their works were penned —could have shaken their hopes.The eyes are twinkling still in Merriam, who viewscalmly the madness of more than forty years of publicservice and forty years of global lunacy. (Where better to witness political madness than in the sloping cellsof the Chicago city council chamber, where Merriamspent six years as alderman? Where better to see one'swisdom buried than in the powwow rooms of Congress,whereto much of Merriam's written cogitations havegone; for has he not been adviser to every Presidentsince Taft?) Five years an emeritus professor, he hasremained as active as ever. One finds him writing: "Itmay well be, as Machiavelli suggested, that the prophetswho are armed survive those who are not armed, butthe instrument of their continuance is co-operation rather than continued force. The advance of the humanspirit since the dawning recognition of the dignity ofman, his possibilities, and high destiny may be setagainst the prophets of pessimism and disaster, and thefuture of human ideals and idealisms portrayed in colorsas vivid as they are true. For the first time in historyUtopias need not be woven from fancy and hope butmay be constructed from a wealth of science and reasonto show indisputable opportunities lying before mankindat this very hour. We know that we enter an era ofcreative evolution, and we look forward to adventurousparticipation in the constructive betterment and transformation of life-conditions."It is a long and eloquent testament of faith he haswritten, and he has shirked no phase of his problem. Hecan raise and answer such problems as: Is democracyan obstacle to international order? Is socialism an obstacle to world order? Believing in democracy, he canpostulate among its bases "confidence in the perfectibility of man."Whereas Merriam arrived at his vision after consideration of the institutions man has created or can create, Prof. Lillie, a thorough Whiteheadian, .arrives athis after a consideration of certain biological phenomena."Life is creation." This, he insists, is the fact. In theliving organism factors of stability and factors of activityare combined in a special kind of synthesis, which hasan aspect of novelty, both on the individual and spe-lb' THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEcies levels. The laws of probability, in which physical ordinations are framed, cannot account for the purposive-ness, the novelty — the creativeness — of living things. The"mind," the psychical element, is invoked to explain it;and where consciousness itself is not evident, Whitehead's "subjective aim" is imputed to the organism.Someone has said that if a pack of monkeys were setto pounding on typewriters they would someday succeed in writing again all the plays of Shakespeare. Prof.Lillie would have it that this could not be so unlessthere were a simian Shakespeare among them. Nothing isas random as that. Novelty, order, harmony result fromthe operation of a psychical factor: purpose and aimare actors in the drama. "Underlying any synthetic process there must be a foundation of order." Chance activities would cancel themselves out; they cannot lead toprogressive differentiation, evolution, or complex organization."Applying such a term as 'field,' 'psyche,' Vital principle,' 'anima,' or 'entelechy' is merely giving a generalname to a natural condition which apparently existsin every living organism," Prof. Lillie says. "Much of theoutcome (of natural creativity) has a value which justifies optimism for the future. Here science may takeencouragement from a position well known in philosophy;a property of the good (in the universal or Platonic sense)is that conscious effort tends to be directed toward itscontinuance, since it is the object of desire; while evil,the immediately or ultimately painful, is a feature ofreality which conscious effort tends to remove or overcome. The former has thus within itself a property orcharacter which favors its continuance and increase;the latter is inherently unstable.And the biologist joins .hands with Prof. Merriam:"What we call 'beauty' — harmony of parts, harmoniousinterplay of processes, as seen in living organisms or inarts like music — is widespread in nature, although itfails to be realized, or is destroyed, when the individualinterests come into irreconcilable conflict. This is by nowsufficiently evident; but what should be better knownand more widely acted upon is that integration betweendifferent individuals, as seen in the mutually helpful relations of the various units in many human and animalcommunities is as much a factor in biological survivaland evolution as is conflict. The avoidance of uselessconflict, and the subordination of individual intereststo the interest of the whole reality which includes theindividuals, would thus seem to be rational aims for allconscious beings; and these aims have the further sanction of religion when the whole is conceived in its character as ultimate value or diety."Aftermath: the VeteransNo less than 514 men and women war veterans arestudying at the University under the G, I. Bill of Rights.There are in addition thirty-eight veterans with serviceconnected disabilities enrolled under the rehabilitationprogram. Many are in college for the first time. Sixty percent are in the divisions and professional schools, 101veterans studying in the social sciences alone. Thirty-six have entered the division of physical sciences, 69 inthe School of Business, 48 in the division of humanities.Significantly enough, 204 veterans have entered the College for a general education. Most of the 500-oddveterans have demonstrated a maturity and interest whichhas made adjustment no problem at all for them. Oneveteran even says it is those who have predicted thatveterans would have a hard time adjusting who needthe adjusting themselves. For his part, he's having thetime of his life.Retiring: Cross and Dr. ReedTom Peete Cross, an academe whose life has beengraced by none of that gentle bloodshed which runs likeShannon through the lives of Erin's sons, has retiredwith emeritus rank. In tribute to his scholarly attainments in the study of medieval Irish culture and thelegends of King Arthur and the Round Table, the editors of the Journal of Modern Philology dedicated theentire October issue to Prof. Cross. Born at Farmer'sDelight Plantation, Virginia, Mr. Cross attended Harvard University, where he received his Ph.D. in 1909.He was appointed to the Chicago faculty in 1913, becoming a full professor of English and comparative literature in 1920. Retiring at the same time was Dr. Dudley Billings Reed, director of the University health service and professor of hygiene, after a 34-year associationwith the University.Radio Goes to HeavenA radio station in the clouds has been licensed by theFederal Communications Commission. The FCC hasauthorized the University to install a new experimentalportable radio station aboard a free balloon within a350 mile radius of Chicago. The balloon is nothing otherthan the cosmic ray laboratory which is sent aloft at intervals of several weeks to obtain data regarding thenature of penetrating radiations in the stratosphere. Asmall, light-weight transmitter to be frequency modulated will be used by the physics department.Berwanger Is BackJay Berwanger, grid star of a decade ago, is back oncampus, this time as a part-time coach of the LinnHouse intramural football team. He is participating ina new program to make football a campus-wide activity.Each of the men's dorms has a team, made up of residents and "associate members," as commuters associatedwith the houses for campus activities are called. Theprogram is in full swing, and Stagg Field, now famous asthe birthplace of the Atomic Age, is again ringing withgrunts and cheers. Rivalry is intense, and split personalities are likely to result also: Dean Clarence Faust of theCollege was out the other day cheering for both of theopposing teams — his sons were rivals. Or is this neutrality?THE UNI V E R S I T Y O F CHIC A G O M AGAZINE 19Captain John Walter Wallace, Jr.,of the class of 1940, was killed in aplane crash near Tucson, Arizona, onSeptember 26, 1945.

It directedthe fire of naval guns— the dropping of bombsthrough clouds and darkness— detected the approach of enemy planes and ships — spottedsubmarines — guided night fighter pilots totheir unseen targets.Radar takes scores of weird shapes, eachespecially developed to do a specific job.A land-based radar may tip the scales at70,000 pounds. A compact airborne unit mayweigh only 168 pounds.A simple radar may have 80 vacuum tubes—another as many as 374. One unit may require 40,000 labor hours tocomplete— another type only 4600 hours.Up to the end of the war, Western Electrichad furnished more than 56,000 radars of 64different types, valued at almost $900,000,000.The basic principles of radar— transmissionand reception of high frequency radio waves-have long been familiar to Western Electricthrough its wide experience in making telephone, radio and other electronic apparatus.So it was natural that this Company was chosento play a leading role in radar for use on land,aboard ships and in planes.Buy Victory Bonds and hold them!Western ElectricNATION'S LARGEST SOURCE OF RADAR
