Entered as second class matter December 1, 1934, atthe Post Office at Chicago, Illinois, under the act of March 3, 1879. The American AlumniCouncil, B. A. Ross, advertising director, 22 Washington Square, New York, N. Y., is theofficial advertising agency of the Magazine.I have no desire to extend the debate over Mr. Hutchins' VE-Day address but I think a brief comment onMr. Faris' article in the October, 1945,Magazine is in order. The article wasentitled "With Malice Toward None",but in all my experience in publiccontroversies I have never been theobject of such a malicious personalattack. He referred to me as "anaging alumnus whose only scars arethose of a non-combatant"; and suggested that "tragic personal misfortunes must lie behind the formulationof such a monstrous and unchristiananthropology" — because I assertedthat men are "beasts biologically andpsychologically."To this underhanded abuse I wouldreply :1. The scars of a non-combatantwho has fought bigotry, greed, ignorance and flabby good intentions allhis life are, to my mind, as honorable,and sometimes the wounds are as painful, as those received in physical warfare.2. There are no "tragic personalmisfortunes" behind my scientificstatement that civilized man is theproduct of "the gradual eliminationof beastly qualities through self imposed and enforced restraints." Onthe contrary, I have been exceptionally fortunate in obtaining a reasonable amount of material comfort whilepursuing what seemed to me to bespiritual aims. I have had the satisfaction of feeling that I helped alittle bit in the advance of my generation and have had none of the senseof frustration which afflicts many ofthose who spend their lives in talkingabout what ought to be done withoutactually putting their shoulders to thewheel.It is regrettable that Mr. Hutchins'defender chose the role of the criminal lawyer with a bad case — a personal attack on the prosecuting attorney — instead of making a reasoneddefense on the merits of the case. Mr.Hutchins, who has the courage andsincerity of his convictions, deservesa better defender.Donald R. Richberg, '01Washington, D. C. Just finishing a three months periodof study in London.

Wagner, '38Naval War CollegeNewport, R. I.1CHARLTON TISDEL BECK1878-1946Charlton T. Beck, Chicago's popular and loved Alumni Secretary for nearly 18 years, passed away at Billings Memorial Hospital on January 23, 1946, as the result of a prolonged heart ailment. Simple memorialservices were conducted by his friend of many years, Charles T. Holman of the Divinity School faculty,who had served on Charlton's first Cabinet. The remains now rest beside those of Charlton Beck's wife in thecrypt of the Unitarian Church near the quadrangles.When Charlton Beck announced his retirement on January 1, 1946, the January issue oj the Magazine had goneto press, lt was decided immediately that the Februaryissue should honor our retiring Secretary and Editor.The bouquets which are usually presented too late wereto be for Carl while he could appreciate them in his retirement. The following representative notes of appreciation were secured at once and the printer began settingthem in type.By the tenth of January we became concerned for fearthe flowers might arrive too late after all. So we tookthe original letters with us to Carl's hospital room. We told him of our plans for the February issue. We askedhim if he would like to hear the letters before he readthem in print a few weeks later. Carl expressed a deepinterest and listened quietly until we had finished. Thetone of his brief "Thank Tou" expressed sincere appreciation. In the days that followed he modestly mentionedthem a number of times. It was obvious that he hadgained much comfort from them. We give these lettersto you now just as they were read to Carl on Januarytenth. We were sure you would not want them changedin this memorial edition. — The Editor.IN APPRECIATIONFor nearly eighteen years Charlton (Carl) T. Beck andThe Alumni Association have been synonymous in theminds of most alumni. It was his cordial personality, hislove of people, and his devotion to service which breathedwarmth into all alumni activities.Everyone knew that some day Carl would retire butsome day was not tomorrow and certainly not today.Therefore, when Wrisley B. Oleson, '18, President of theAssociation, announced early in January that CharltonT. Beck, Alumni Secretary-Treasurer since 1928, had retired on January 1, 1946, it came as a shock and causedfeelings of deep regret. Carl asked for retirement on theadvice of his physician and good friend, Emmet B. Bay,'20, Rush MD '22. The Executive Committee, in grantingemeritus status to Secretary Beck, took a second actionelecting him Advisor on Alumni Affairs.Late last September Carl visited the University Clinicsfor a thorough physical checkup. Dr. Bay advised a strictdiet and a severe curtailment of activities. Carl left thehospital only to return a few weeks later. With the exception of three days over Christmas he has not left thehospital since. With his heavy responsibilities removed,Chicago's fifty thousand alumni hope that his recoverywill come quickly and that he will be joining them atmany future Spring reunions.H. W. M. For these many years theAlumni of the University haveknown a warm and loyal friendin Carl Beck. To many of usthe campus and the facultymay have changed but Carlhas remained — a familiar andkindly warden of our ties. Hehas been at once a link to thepast that we knew and interpreter of the University ofthe present that we havewished to understand. He hasremembered each of us andcalled us by name, and wishedus well. He has done more thanany one individual to keep ourthoughts of the University aliveand cordial.He has ever put his wholeheart in the fostering of ourinterest and he will ever have a warm place in our heartsin return.WRISLEY B. OLESON, '18President, Alumni AssociationPresident Olesonand SecretaryBeck34 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEIn my University experience, occasions have arisenwhen it seemed difficult to imagine certain situationswithout the individuals who had poured their lives intoindividual responsibilities. This happened to me WhenPresident Harper, and later when President Burton, died;when President Judson retired; when Mr. Stagg retired.And now, because of his retirement, I am called upon tothink of the Alumni Office without Carl Beck.Circumstances permitted Carl to train Howard Mort,and we are fortunate in that regard. But Howard Mortwill be the first to join with me in saying that for a whileat least the Alumni Office, without Carl Beck, will be agood deal like the play of Hamlet without the Dane.There is one bright side to the picture. We have knownthat Carl has overworked for the last few years. Now wecan hope that he will adapt life to his stride and thatwe may have his warm, genial, fine personality and influence for many years to come.We who have been active in alumni affairs will everlastingly thank fortune for sending us Carl Beck.HAROLD H. SWIFT, '07Chairman, The Board of Trustees,The University of ChicagoFor eighteen years Charlton Beck was the focus wherethe sentiments of the alumni met the needs of the University. He taught the University to respect the alumni.He gave the alumni a greater appreciation of their University. He created and maintained an unparalleled program of alumni activities. In the process of doing thesethings, he endeared himself to everyone. His retirementis occasion for deep regret; it is also occasion for acknowledgement of our gratitude for the excellence andpermanence of his contribution to the life of the University.ROBERT M. HUTCHINS, Chancellor,The University of ChicagoAs Chairman of the Alumni Council in 1928, it was myduty to see to it that the position of Alumni Secretary,which had just become vacant, be satisfactorily filled. Iobtained a list of candidates and it so happened that thefirst man I interviewed was Carl Beck. We spent anevening together in Detroit and I soon realized that Ihad to hunt no further. We all know what he has done soI need not sing his praises but I've always been proud ofthe share I had in getting him to take the job.HERBERT P. ZIMMERMANN, '01Trustee, The University of ChicagoFormer Chairman, Alumni Council It is a pleasure to have an opportunity to say "Thankyou" to Carl Beck. His industry and fidelity to the University in the important area of alumni relations morethan deserve the thanks that we are able to give him.But the pleasure in saying it is a response to the warmthof his personality, the geniality of his nature, and theability he has to create friendship not only for himselfbut for the University of Chicago. For all these thingswe are indebted to him and we wish him Godspeed.ERNEST C. COLWELL, PhD '30President, The University of ChicagoWith all other graduates and "exes" of the University,I regret that Charlton Beck's health necessitates his retirement. I am so glad the next issue of the Magazineis being devoted to him, for such untiring devotion ashe has shown to the Alumni should be recognized andpublicized.The Council was fortunate to find a secretary whosetraining and background so well fitted every requirementof the job. We have been fortunate, too, in having suchcontinuity of service. His long acquaintance, his keensense of humor in the face of oft time troublesome problems, changing times and conditions, made for harmonyand growth that few associations attain in similar circumstances.I hope the general Alumni body has some idea of themany quiet acts he performed in their name for fellowalumni. His courtesy in answering questions or requestswas unfailing and often, he would go to great lengths toget and give information. He served unselfishly and Iknow he has the good wishes of us all for the best ofeverything.HELEN NORRIS, '07Vice-president, Alumni AssociationSince it will not be possible for me, and I am sure formany others, ever to disassociate Carl Beck from theAlumni Association, I would like to nominate him forAlumni Secretary Emeritus. For through years during theFiftieth Anniversary campaign and the reorganization ofthe alumni organizations, I had the pleasure of workingwith him almost daily. I say "pleasure" advisedly forCarl has that uncommon gift of taking his job seriouslybut executing it with a sense of humor which made itoutright fun to be associated with him.While I'm nominating, I think I shall also proposehim for a place along side of Stephen Leacock and Gordon Jennings Laing, Stephen Leacock's close friend andour former Alumni Dean, for contributing to the lighterside of life. It's too bad Carl's perdiodic jocose reportsas Secretary and Treasurer could not have been preserved — they have been priceless.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 5Withal I should cite Carl for his patience with andconsideration for the inexperienced ideas of us amateuralumni officers. He always made us feel that we weredoing something, while at the same time he has made acontribution to the University in various ways beyondanyone's knowledge. He may not have gotten rich inmoney, but he should be rich in satisfaction of a jobwell done.JOHN NUVEEN, JR., '19Trustee, The University of ChicagoFormer President, Alumni AssociationAll too often it is our wont to send flowers too latefor the full enjoyment of the recipient. Inexplicable inhibitions deter many of us from lauding one of our fellows when a bit of praise still may be music to a receptiveear.Here are some flowers for Charlton Beck. These blossoms are plain and uncultured and were not orderedfrom the boulevard florist. Humble but sturdy and sweetscented, the blooms we present to you are home grownand of the ordinary garden variety.Charlton Beck, you're just tops with us and we loveyou — love you for what you are and for all the many,many good things you so graciously have done for us andour Alma Mater. If there are any "super duper" UsefulCitizen Awards or deluxe meritorious citations, you,Charlton Beck, are the unanimous choice of the alumniof the University of Chicago for that recognition.Rumor has it that because of a temporary indisposition,you are planning on leaving us. How very, very wrongyou are for this once, Mr. Beck. It is you who have madeor re-made us loyal sons and daughters of Chicago.Through your persuasive teachings and efficient self, faithin our University has been rekindled or fired with greaterzeal. You cannot leave us now because we are a part ofyou — we are yours.If perchance only for today you would choose to assertyour prerogatives and for the once leave the processionand stand in review, then, good sir, 50,000 devoted handsand hearts of Chicago alumni hail and salute— "our trulybeloved Charlton Beck".VALLEE APPEL, '11, JD '14Former President, Alumni AssociationIt is a pleasure to express my regards for CharltonBeck; a sorrow, that he must resign.I consider the Alumni of the University of Chicagohave been extremely fortunate in having him their AlumniSecretary for so many years. His efforts in their behalfhave been greatly to their advantage and equally of valueto the University.Those who have had contact in one way or anotherwith him, have sensed his great interest in his work, hisconstant loyalty to the University and the Alumni body, and his exceptional ability to make all feel welcome atAlumni affairs.The year that I worked under Mr. Beck in the AlumniOffice was an unusually happy one because of his friendlyhelpfulness. I learned to know his priceless sense of humor, his ability to help with stimulating ideas and alsohis efficient way of carrying out the suggestions of others.He is a real friend, whose influence will be felt for yearsto come.FLORENCE COOK SLAYTON, '25Second Vice-president,College Division, Alumni AssociationIt is hard to write about Carl Beck in an impersonalway. He just isn't that kind. Somehow I think of him asone of the human elements that bind this University together — elements that have nothing to do with educational pioneering, great endowments and disinterested research. Not that he does not represent the University asa great seat of learning but rather that he values peoplefor their human qualities and knows that a University ismore than buildings and teachers and students.I like to sit and talk with him about people who werehere in the early days — the professor who used to spiton President Judson's walk every time he passed thehouse; the man from somewhere in the Dakotas who wasasked to appear on a Harris Foundation program in themistaken belief that he was a noted English expert of thesame name; the time when a South Carolina state officialoffered to include the University in a list of schools toreceive that state's documents with the side remark thatnothing would come of it anyway!Carl has a keen sense of humor and a real gift forfriendship. He can talk with professors at the Quadrangle"round table", with students on the campus, and withAlumni who have long been a part of the so-called "coldworld". And what is most important, he has the abilityto interpret each of these to the others. In this way hehas long served as a link between the past and present ofa changing institution.These things may sound a bit trivial in trying to measure the worth of a man. But not so. Carl Beck has longhad the job of keeping alive the loyalty of the most unsentimental group of Alumni in the United States to themost indifferent University in these same United States.And Carl has learned that loyalty is more than respectand pride. Something personal is required to keep itwarm and active and Carl Beck has supplied that something in a way that few others have done. He has represented the whole University and not just one departmentor one school. He has stressed the human side that linksthe past, blackened as it was with football and fraternities, to the glowing, progressive present. That, I submit,has been a real service.AVERY CRAVEN, PhD '24Professor of American HistoryThe University of Chicago6 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINECharlton Beck is widely known, highly regarded, anddeeply appreciated among the alumni secretaries ofalumni associations throughout the United States andCanada. In the American Alumni Council, representinggraduate groups of 331 universities and colleges, CarlBeck has contributed greatly in the development and advancement of alumni work generally. We are indebtedto him and to the University of Chicago for his richcareer and service and inspiration to all of us. We canproudly point to his long career as Alumni Secretary atChicago, realizing thereby how an alumni secretary asan educational officer of a university can help muster andmobilize the loyalty and intelligent understanding ofalumni in support of education and good citizenship.For Carl Beck, as he assumes inactive duty, we wishhappy days.J. MARYON SAUNDERSPresident, American Alumni CouncilI missed Charlton Beck at the Alumni Course in theBiological Sciences. I missed him, lunch time, at theQuadrangle Club Round Table. Telephone Local 236said: "Call Billings Hospital". I did — in person. Charlton Beck's heart is still with our Alumni and our University, but the physical organ can no longer sustain hisefforts. His work has certainly earned him the title:Alumni Secretary and Editor Emeritus. Do I hear thismotion seconded?I do not know what young Charlton brought alonginside his skull when he entered the even younger U. of C.in the nineties, but his subsequent work is evidence thatour University at least did not ruin either his mind or hischaracter. To me, for decades, Charlton Beck's integrity,rational tolerance, industry, and perennial good humorhave been distinctly on the credit side of our so-calledhuman race.DR. ANTON J. CARLSON,Frank P. Hixon Distinguished ServiceProfessor Emeritus PhysiologyCharlton Tisdel Beck has, I believe, more friends thananyone of my acquaintance. In his travels here and theremeeting alumni whom he had never met before, I haveseen frequent evidence that new acquaintances rapidlybecame close friends because of his irresistable personality. This is one of the many fine traits which have madehim so successful in his work as Alumni Secretary andAmbassador Extraordinary. For forty-two years I havehad the privilege of being one of his friends, one of thechoicest and most cherished experiences of my life. A half hour with Carl listening to his incomparable accountof interesting experiences is a sure cure for low spirits.JOHN F. MOULDS, '07Secretary Emeritus, Board of Trusteesof The University of ChicagoI'm deeply shocked to know that our Carl has had tolay aside his duties as Alumni Secretary — I trust onlytemporarily.I've known him for nearly forty years — as a brotherDelta U. in undergraduate days — one to whom we alwaysappealed for good sound advice in those deeply seriousproblems of youth's social, political and business affairs;as an alumnus who was the animating spirit in any partyhe attended and never to be matched by any one as araconteur; as a neighbor who was always considerate,kindly and cooperative; as a colleague who in planningand executing speech-making and lecture enterprises always pulled more than his weight and invariably metthe inevitable frustrations due to lacks in others with thatmarvelous fund of humor and the perfectly pat storythat at once put everyone back into a serene and joyousmood again.I've often marvelled at Carl's amazing memory fornames, faces, their background and setting which hasseldom been equalled among my associates during longyears of acquaintance with this community.With such hosts of friends so devoted to him and hisown inner resources of courage and cheerfulness bothplugging for him, we cannot but feel that our friend andcolleague will soon begin to improve and resume hisunique place in the University and in the fellowship of hisdevoted friends throughout it.HARVEY B. LEMON, '06, SM '11, PhD '12Professor of PhysicsThe University of ChicagoA Sense of Humor ... AGift for FriendshipPRISONERS ARE INGENIOUS• By LYMAN B. BURBANKLcrLyman B. BurbankVVe read a prison diarythe other day. It had somany human, everydaytouches that we asked theauthor to edit it down forthese pages.The author is Lyman B.Burbank, Harvard '38, whotaught history three yearsat Springfield (Mass.) College and studied summersfor his A.M. at Chicago.In the summer of forty-one he left the Midway tobecome an Air Force navigator.His first assignment overthe Continent was a "milk run" bombing of Lille, France,August 12, 1943. On his second run — the first shuttleservice from England to Africa — his bomber, with 16others, was shot down near Mannheim.After the usual trying experiences of the "snake pits,"grillings, and traveling shoeless (to discourage escape) incrowded box cars, Lt. Burbank arrived at Stalag Luft IIInear Sagan, Germany. This camp eventually housed tenthousand prisoners. Here he was confined from August,1943 through January, 1945. Lyman Burbank returned tothe Midway last fall where he expects to get his A.M. inMarch and will continue on his Ph.D.Although the following diary was written in an officers'camp, which had some privileges not permitted in enlistedmen's camps, Burbank can tell gruesome atrocity storiesalong with the best. He foregoes this to furnish a moreintimate day by day picture of life behind barbed wire. The following excerpts from a carefully kept diary willaid in picturing this community life.27 Sep. '43. The new men are fast learning the art oftunneling. A "blitz" tunnel, short with no shoring, hasbeen discovered by the ferrets [German "snoopers"]. Anelaborate tunnel has been discovered in British NorthCompound: 25 feet underground; 300 feet long; midwaystation; railroad with wooden rails; sand carts; air hoseand pump made from tin cans running entire length. Ageneral came from Berlin to inspect it. Our nationalpride is at stake. We must prove ourselves as ingeniousas the British!"Ferrets" was American slang for Germanswho wandered regularly through the camp withan eye to anything unusual. Other Germanswho entered, usually for searching or disciplinarypurposes, would hear the security call ahead"Goon in the block." The German Kommand-ant complained that he could not find the word"goon" in the dictionary. The obliging Americans changed the phrase to "Tallyho" and theGermans took up the custom by shouting itthemselves as they entered.UPON arrival at Sagan the men were marched intoa barbed wire enclosure; searched and photographed; while prisoners in Center Compound,with hands slouched in pockets, stared through the wires.Soon they were shouting questions and answers, e.g.:"How long you been in?" "Orville Wright was my copilot."As the new men were assigned there was a period ofadjustment during which the seasoned prisoners wereirritated, the new frustrated. Always in such camps therewere nerve's-edge arguments which took the followingform, as defined by Col. Jenkins: "a positive statement offact, a categorical denial, a personal insult, completesilence."By the summer of 1944, prison life had become so channeled, hope of delivery so distant, camp life so well organized, that the older men looked upon the new men asnuisances. They didn't meet them at the gate; they resented the stories of "there I was at 20,000 feet"; theypreferred to settle down to enjoy the community life andactivities they had worked so hard to organize. // Nov. '43. Memorial Day services held in theatre.Relatively few men attended. Morale waning. Food situation bad. Col. Spivey negotiating with professionalgardener in Sagan for information about truck gardeningin sandy soil within barbed wire.13 Nov. '43. Promotion schemes among prisoners areprevalent. An officer from the Bronx just introduced anumbers racket. According to camp statisticians thiswould corner all media of exchange (cigarettes and choc1olate) in a month. Banned by the Colonel.28 Nov. '43. Supporting the rumor that many homefolks think a soldier who permits himself to be capturedalive is a coward, comes a letter today from a prisoner'swife: "I still love you, darling, although you are a coward."30 Nov. '43. Foodacco (food swap shop) originatedby the British, has been set up where men, wanting toexchange food or tobacco on a point system, could do so,Aromatic pipe tobacco and little-known cigarette brandsare active trade items./ Dec. '43. German authorities lodge charges that atail light was stolen from a "honey" wagon passingthrough the compound. Much searching but no lamp. A"tunnel engineer" borrowed it.78 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE4 Dec. '43. More trouble with wagons. An overzeal-ous Kriegie [prisoner] stole the driver's coat. It was returned. Fabulous gambling debts are developing. Oneofficer now owes five million cigarettes.8 Dec. '43. A terse memorandum from the Kommand-ant warning against throwing glass and razor blades ingarbage. Hard on pigs, which sabotages German wareffort. It's an idea!10 Dec. '43. The men have been insisting on pin-uppictures. The German propaganda ministry saw an opportunity for morale building and today met the request :scenic views of the Alps and picturesque German villagesin Bavaria.Memo from German Kommandant12 December 1943Letters originating in US written on "V for Victory" forms will be confiscated. One can not expect the detaining power to help propagandaof a country with which it is at war by allowingthese forms. . . .9 Jan. '44. After a month of digging with good security a tunnel in the south end collapsed and main support beams of the barrack gave way. Much official confusion.25 Mar. '44. Great excitement ... a rumor that invasion has begun . . . goons are everywhere. Later: rumorfalse. Excitement was due to the discovery of a tunnelin the British compound started in June, 1943. More than80 escaped. [The Gestapo massacred over 50 who wererecaptured.]31 Mar. '44. Spading was started for a garden. RedCross will provide seeds.Easter Sunday. Men despondent over failure of invasion to materialize. An alert at noon. A guard on thefence leveled his gun at a corporal in the kitchen door andshot him through the head. Everyone else hit the floor."Luftgangster" record rescued from German files duringliberation confusion // April, '44. Four groups of American forts flewover at noon. Flack and fighters filled the air . . . twofighters went down. Old time prisoners who have neverwitnessed a fortress formation nearly hysterical with joy.Target must have been near and hit. Much smoke anddebris in the air, including bits of wallpaper, burnt bitsof silk, music scores, parts of text-books. Camp moralehits ceiling.27 April, '44. Entire camp on edge . . . anticipating,"something big" . . . maybe the invasion. Alerts — therefore allied bombings — are becoming longer and more frequent. A POW received a card today from a library inthe states. A book he borrowed is overdue.30 April, '44. The garden looks undernourished.Sandy soil needs fertilizer. Horses that enter the campare being followed around by men with empty Red Crossboxes.17 May, '44. An exhaustive search at dawn by 21Germans. Tore beds apart; pulled out partitions andyanked up floors. Found files, pliers, home made hammers but not the one thousand compasses. Men in Alpinecostumes began to yodel outside. Guards screamed ateach other on the fence asking what it meant. The POW'shad found six Alpine outfits in some old theatre props.It was fun until nervous guards fingered their triggers.For a change of pace and cheery diversion ababy contest was run. Fathers with baby pictures were contestants. In the finals the best tenwere selected for a "B-l 7 crew" and were postedon the bulletin board. Good natured arguments,of course, but a lift for all.29 May, '44. The "no invasion" reports are makingthe men extremely morbid and morose. The dreadedchange to complete submission is noticeable. Col. Spiveyhas ordered censorship of all outgoing letters to checkany hints of the pressure on POW's. He adds: those backhome are carrying enough burdens without worryingabout us.6 June, '44. Heavy, overcast, drizzly afternoon.Gloomy men lay on clammy beds. The German loudspeaker blared military marches. Some slouched acrossthe soggy compound. Months of waiting, little news,thousands of false alarms. At 1330 the music stopped;the radio went dead and then . . . the gongs sounded theGerman newscast.The well camouflaged sentences sounded dull as usualuntil their meaning dawned on the handful of listeners."The long promised and long expected, for the Germans,attack from the West began last night. The enemy madeattempts to land at the mouth of the Seine, LeHavre.Other landings were made. Paratroopers and airbornetroops were beaten off. ..." A wild yell drowned outTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 9the speaker. INVASION! INVASION! British, leaning from their windows in East Camp, tumbled out tospread the news they had awaited for five years. Nearhysteria mounted. Lt. Burbank, giving a history exam,had asked: "What was the biggest point in Wilson's 14?"when a voice outside yelled "Invasion" and the classbroke up. Boxes of cigars appeared. Col. Spivey rushedto the center of the crowd to warn caution and calm.There were handshakes and grins; prophesies of beinghome in a month.7 June, '44. The morning German broadcast saysthe Normandy beach head was wiped out. The 11 A.M.news was cut off the air. Speculation runs high. Pessimists are prophesying another year and a half. A thunderstorm drove everyone under leaking roofs.14 June, '44. Col. Spivey addressed his men: "Thetime has come to behave like soldiers; within the laws ofwar it will pay dividends to obey the Germans; no massbreak; preserve German property, neat dress . . •. wemust have internal discipline to save ourselves if the German military breaks down."21 June, '44. Bombers with escorts and no oppositionare daily routine over the Camp. Morale climbs witheach flight.28 June, '44. The German Kommandant orderedPOW's to smash tin cans. Col. Spivey refused unless proofis furnished that cans are not used for German war effort.Arguments carried through the camp. Minor disputesassume intense proportions behind barbed wire. No cansare being smashed.10 July, '44. Another member of "Dear John" clubposted. To be eligible, prisoner must have received newsfrom his girl that she is engaged or married to another.Prisoner consenting, letter is posted and "club" ralliesaround to offset brooding. Invariably kidding by fellowvictims saves the day.Tin cans (in background) were not smashed 20 July, '44. Attempt on Hitler's life. Pale, tired faceshover around the speaker. No more news. Apparently attempt failed.10 Aug. '44. A slump in the news. If the war doesn'tend soon the men will suffer terribly from depression.Another winter . . . it's almost too much.13 Aug. '44.

They were bewildered by our prolonged applause for encores but whenthey got the idea, everyone had a fine time.An elaborate program of athletics from touch-ball, soft ball, and soccer in summer to skatingand hockey in winter was quickly set up in theearly days of the camp. Equipment was providedby the Y.M.C.A. The hockey rink was laboriously built by the men. The dull, rusty clamp-onskates were also gifts from the Y.22 Aug. '44.

Herein a rural area, a city of 75,000 recently and secretlymushroomed into existence. Here also, among several great plants, stands the largest factory in the world,more than a mile long and like the whole project, dedicated to destruction.The atomic bomb launched at Hiroshima was equalto some twenty thousand tons of TNT with a hurricanevelocity for spreading fire. This bomb was a piker, however, compared to what is now planned, bombs equalto one to two million tons of TNT. These could be sentby rocket in an anonymous, push-button war, in whichgreat urban centers could be knocked out at once withno telltale traces as to who was the enemy.While some day the development of atomic energymay be counted as man's greatest achievement in conquering poverty, disease and the worst drudgery of life,today its uses are wholly destructive. Its advent has sharpened the fears and mutual suspicions of all nations. Already four months after V-J Day, we are launched onthe most colossal armament race the world has everknown. Today the United States alone possesses a stockpile of atom bombs, the largest navy in the world andwith past commitments for shipbuilding, we have beenspending 6}4 billions a month on armaments!Meanwhile, Russia maintains a vast army, based onconscription and will build a powerful fleet. Perhaps already she is making atomic bombs and certainly she willbe able to do so in the near future. Similarly, Britain forthe first time in history will keep a system of conscription.The great powers are embarked then on an armamentrace, which is the most dangerous and explosive of games.Just from the economic side, this race will drain awayour resources and limit our whole destiny. Certainly wecan never hope for permanent tax reduction if thesestaggering sums continue for defense. While the administration plans a drastic cut in this field, an unstableworld situation and rumors of new advances in armaments by other countries will always skyrocket our ownexpenditures.With the swift and absolute destruction of modern warit would be folly for one nation to disarm alone. It becomes imperative instead that we effect internationalreduction in armaments through the plan specifically provided by the charter. Fortunately UNO is launched nowand is a going concern. But so many immediate problemsare contending for the attention of the delegates to theAssembly, that the primary purpose may for the momentbe slighted and there is no time for fumbling. The primary purpose is "to maintain peace and internationalsecurity". It must be carried out at once and with vigor.To this end, just before Christmas, Representative JerryVoorhis of California and I introduced concurrent reso lutions. These resolutions direct the attention of both theAssembly and the Security Council of UNO to their charter responsibilities. The keynote repeats the words of thecharter :"In order to promote the establishment andmaintenance of international peace and security with the least diversion for armaments of theworld's human and economic resources, the Security Council shall be responsible for formulating, with the assistance of the Military StaffCommittee, referred to in article 47, plans to besubmitted to the members of the United Nationsfor the establishment of a system for the regulation of armaments."As the most powerful nation in the world, it is properthat our Congress should pass such a resolution to bringthis issue into the spotlight. We do not propose to repeatthe error which followed the Washington DisarmamentConference when we, as a nation which believed inpeace, fulfilled our part of the agreement, while thosenations bent on aggression, armed to the teeth. If wewant neither conscription nor vast expenditures for defense, we must develop an international system of regulation with inspection and controls. You may doubt thatall nations would accept such a system, even though theyhave adhered to the UNO charter. However, if somepower rejects the plan, at worst we know where we are.At best, there is hope that we can find means of controlling the race, and can do away with the incalculabledanger of atomic war. We might then have a chanceto make as much progress in the science of human relations as we have made in the physical sciences.CongresswomanEmily Taft Douglas,' 1 9, spoke recentlyon "Problems of1946" at the Student Forum organization. She is onethe nine women inCongress, and amember of theHouse Committeeon Foreign Affairs. •-Her grandfather wason the first facultyof the University,and her husband,Major Paul Douglas,is now on leave fromthe University's Department of economics.10ONE MANS OPINIONCarl Beck was one of those rare individuals who longwill be recalled with affection because he meant muchto many people. He seemed, too, as familiar and imperishable a part of the University as Cobb Hall, and eventhe knowledge in the last few weeks that he was gradually losing a long fight did not really change that feeling.He wasn't at the end of a telephone to give advice, and hewas missing from his usual place at the Quadrangle Club,but even so there was no conviction in the thought thatCarl would not quietly reappear again. There is a deepsense of loss and sorrow at his death, but as the realization grows on his many friends how much they leanedon him for understanding, warmth and his fundamentallight-hearted enjoyment of life, he will be missed evenmore.The eighteen years in which he was Alumni Secretaryhave made us of the alumni think of him as particularlyour own, and each of us regarded him as our specialfriend. There was nothing remote or superficial in hismission among us; we were not a mass of thousands, buta series of individuals. Carl understood and liked people,and so he made friends wherever he went, and becausehe was sincerely interested in people, he never forgotanyone. He must have known thousands of us, and notjust by name, for he could sit in a meeting and suggestalumni in any place, big or small, who could be relied onto help the University. He never made a mean or disparaging remark about anyone, because he never thoughtmeanly or unkindly. He had too much understandingand sympathy to be intolerant. When the University be4came excited over issues, and the fight became violentlypartisan, Carl was never one of the aroused participants.He was not indifferent, and he did not lack understandingof what it was all about, but he was wise enough to knowthat violence never produced clarity. Too, he could seethe ridiculous aspect of a situation in which men of learning abandoned reasoned consideration of principle foremotional reaction. Eating lunch at the QuadrangleClub, or sitting in a bridge game, Carl could and didgently laugh at both sides, and before long he had someof those involved laughing at themselves.The understanding and charity he had for everyonecame through in the stories he used to tell. He had noequal in spinning tales; not the flip kind of stories, butanecdotes that grew out of his own experience. He nevercame back from a tour around the country or from hisannual fishing trips without some new yarns. They werenothing but little stories about people he had met andsmall things that had happened to him. but told as hecould tell them, they were delightful.There was the summer before the war when he wasmoving leisurely from town to town in Minnesota, callingon alumni who were on the route to his fishing spot. Forpresentation to these more remote alumni, he carried inhis car several hundred copies of Goodspeed's Abridged • By WILLIAM V. MORGENSTERN, '20, J.D. '22History of the University of Chicago. Returning from hislunch in Albert Lea, he found the town constable waitingto take him to the lockup on a charge of peddling bookswithout a license. Carl's verbatim report of the discussion, which ended with the constable departing with anautographed copy of the History under his arm, determined to talk his grandson into enrolling at the University, was a work of art.Another year, his long anticipated fishing trip wasruined by bad weather, but at the resort Carl soon becamethe crony of two retired gentlemen who had spent nimblelives in such opportunistic enterprises as the merchandising of electric belts and the operation of a mail-orderuniversity. What delighted Carl about this sister institution of learning was its motto: "Not the oldest university,but the largest diploma." Carl came home without anyfish, but with a collection of tales that pleased him andhis audiences much more. The only disappointment inthe matter was the failure of the proprietors of this institution to locate among their relics a diploma with whichto confer an honorary degree on him.With equal facility and effect, when there were nominor adventures to report, Carl could draw on his reminiscences. Many an alumnus has been entertained byhis discussion of the technological effects of the neonlight on the electric sign business, an activity with whichhe was associated before Herbert Zimmermann persuadedhim to return to the University, or his story of being tooprogressive even for John Dewey himself in the early daysof the experiment that educator began at Chicago.In many ways, life was not as good to him as it mighthave been, but that was a fact which had to be discovered from other sources tjhan Carl himself. He alwaysgave and never asked,, and he made no complaints. Hiswife was an invalid for many years, but few knew that,and even fewer caught a glimpse of the superb devotionwith which he kept her life interesting and happy throughthe reflection of his own response to living. In recentyears his failing health caused him considerable difficultybut when he emerged from Billings he picked up wherehe had left off, with no reference to his illness.There was always an air of leisure and unlimited timeabout Carl, but he worked hard on his job. He used hisgifts and talents effectively in bringing as many alumnias possible into contact with the University. The alumniprogram which he developed is intelligent and self-respecting; it is a relationship in which a Chicago man orwoman can participate without loss of dignity. Thecharacter and level of such activities as the ReunionSchool, the Magazine, the Bulletin, result from the depthof Carl's. conception of what a university is and what itsproducts should be. They are so solidly established nowthat they will continue despite his death. But nothing isgoing to replace the vital element that Carl has meantto us as alumni.11NEWS OF THE QUADRANGLES• By JEANNETTE LOWREY(( A SK Mr. Beck," I was told as I sought informa-/-\ tion for my first story for the Office of PressRelations two and one-half years ago. Mr. Beckwas also the source for the next two stories on the assignment sheet.A bit dubious that one man could figure in all three,I crossed the hall to the Alumni Office. No welcome matwas needed there — Mr. Beck's infectious smile and warmgreeting to a new colleague was the open sesame. I secured my stories and went away convinced that for newsof the quadrangles, I should ask Mr. Beck.In the month's that followed our first meeting, I learnedthat everyone "asked" Mr. Beck. His morning mail washeavy, his telephone constantly rang, and his office alwayshad a visitor. But no inquiry went unanswered. Fromthe recesses of his memory or from his alumni records,one could learn the why's and wherefore's of Midwayactivities. The faculty and central administration willmiss him, the University's 50,000 alumni will miss him,and I will miss him. Truly, he was "News of the Quadrangles" personified.First the Bomb; Now Poison GasOne of the top secrets of both the University and theArmy during the war, along with the atomic bomb, hasbeen the operation of a secret laboratory for testing poisonwarfare gases. The unveiling of the Toxicity Laboratory,as it is called by the Chemical Warfare Service, tookplace on the Midway this month.Its director, Dr. William F. Doyle, associate professorof anatomy, revealed that 1,500 chemical compounds,many of them far more lethal than those used in WorldWar I, were tested in the laboratory to insure the U. S.defense protection had the enemy used poison gas warfare. Every potential new war gas and most of the gasesrumored to have been developed by the enemy wereexamined and evaluated. Th work was done first underthe auspices of the Office of Scientific Research and Development and later under the Chemical Warfare Service.Of the 1,500 proposed chemical warfare compoundstested and standardized in the laboratory, one-fifth weredeveloped by Dr. Morris S. Kharasch, '17, Ph.D. '19,professor of chemistry, in another branch of the warresearch network. And no less than 70,000 men (and afew women) volunteered to act as subjects for the blistergas studies conducted by the laboratory under Dr. William Bloom, chairman of the department of anatomy.As the result of its operations, the Toxicity Laboratoryachieved for the army insurance against enemy use ofgas. In addition the new methods designed to test wargases will be invaluable in assessing peacetime industrialhazards, Director Doyle states. The medicinally valuablecompounds developed in the research will save manylives, possibly more than gases might have destroyed. Six of the laboratories on the Midway are ventilatedto make possible work with the most hazardous toxicmaterials, and the equipment — much of which cannotbe duplicated on this continent — is suited to the studiesof industrial hazards involving volatile materials, toxicdusts, and skin irritants.Planned six months in advance of Pearl Harbor by asmall group of leading American chemists, the laboratorywas initiated at University expense. Dr. Franklin C. McLean, professor of pathological physiology, was appointedfirst director, and Dr. E. M. K. Geiling, chairman ofthe department of pharmacology, especially designed thebuildings.Brigadier General Roger M. Wicks of the Sixth ServiceCommand inspects Dr. McLean's Legion of Merit award.Citation for Legion of MeritAnd with the announcement of the secret Toxicity Laboratory also came news that the first director, Dr. McLean, '08, SM '13, Ph.D. '15, had been awarded theLegion of Merit citation. Lieutenant Colonel McLeanwas cited by the United States Army for his demonstration of remarkable talents and scientific versatility inthe laboratory and field testing and in improving theeffectiveness of persistent blister gases while he was director of toxicology for the Chemical Warfare Service.Dr. McLean served as director of toxicology at Edge-wood Arsenal from October, 1943, to March, 1944. Hisarmy work in the medical corps then took him to thearmy project at San Jose, Panama, where he was responsible for establishing biological testing methods. Thecitation also acclaimed him for his work as a representative of the British-American coordination staff on gaswarfare. In World War I, Dr. McLean held the rank ofmajor.12THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 13Veterans Invade the MidwayNot only Gil. Joe and G.I. Jane, but Mr. and Mrs.G.I., have invaded the campus to swell the number ofreturned veterans at the University to 1300 during thewinter quarter. And registration still continues.The first G.I. couple to register, Mr. and Mrs. RicardoMeana, are both pre-war University of Chicago studentsin the College.Eighty per cent of the 150 students registering in theCollege this quarter are veterans. But veterans and highschool students alike clamored to be among the 150admitted. More than 900 high-ranking applicants hadindicated by last November 20, closing deadline for application, their desire to enroll in the College. Registration was limited because of housing.Total University enrollment, based on paid registration after the second week of the quarter, was 6,196, anincrease of 22.8 over the same period last year. Men forthe first time since the war were in the majority, 3,268having registered in comparison with 2,928 women.Percentage gains in the professional schools and divisions skyrocketed. The School of Business was up 175per cent, the School of Medicine, 162 per cent, and theLaw School, 134 per cent. The percentage gains in thedivisions were: physical sciences, 88.2 per cent; socialsciences, 77.2; biological sciences, 53.1 and humanities,35.8. Numerical totals for the University were: College,2,073; divisions, 2,248; professional schools, 1,043; andUniversity College, 832.Seedless Melons ComingAmericans may soon be smacking their lips over seedless watermelons according to Dr. J. E. Kraus, Ph.D. '17,chairman of the department of botany. He predicted thedelicacy at the North Central States Weed Control Conference, and explained that the phenomena would comeabout through development of growth-regulating substances which can completely stop the forming of seedsin certain plants.Dr. J. E. Kraus World ResolutionsInstead of resolutions of self-denial and self-reform,men this year are outlining the steps which must betaken toward a peaceful world order by all mankind.Chancellor Robert M. Hutchins, Dean Robert Redfield,'20, J.D. '21, Ph.D. '28, of the Division of Social Sciences,and Thorfin Hogness, director of the chemistry divisionof the atomic bomb project, proposed their views beforeuniversity and world-wide audiences."Now is the time when things must be done beforetheir time," Dean Redfield stated in a recent RoundTable broadcast on The State of the Nation. "If thesecurity and happiness of the world depend upon thedevelopment of moral power, we must identify and claimthose elements of principle which are shared by manymen in many nations. It is stupid to act as if we hadall the virtue. It is not helpful to speak of ourselves aswell worthy of custodianship of overwhelming militarymight. There is no people wise enough or good enoughto hold atomic weapons as a sacred trust."We must find and proclaim the common principlesof right action which govern the policies of men," DeanRedfield continued. "The development of moral powerrequires that individual men and women take actionswhich express the goal of world community. ... It isnot unrealistic to begin now to consider the constitutional problems of a federal union of the world."On the same broadcast, Professor Hogness, liaison officer between the United States and Great Britain onthe atomic project, said: "The atomic bomb makes itimperative that we forget international prejudices, thatwe sacrifice some national sovereignty and that we bewilling to give ourselves — to give time and energy enoughto arouse a burning conviction for the sake of attainingthe right to remain alive."Peace cannot endure by fear alone. If we are to besuccessful in a world political structure, the hearts andthe minds of men must be changed. Our task is notcompleted when we have built the machinery for peace.We must extend the will for peace toward better understanding among all peoples of the earth that we mayknow them better and know why they react as they do."Addressing the faculty and trustees at the annual trustees' dinner, Chancellor Hutchins declared that if theatomic bomb gives civilization only five more years tolive, universities must set about to promote the application to current problems of such knowledge — or even suchgood opinions — as we have about human relationships.He suggested the establishment of a committee at theUniversity which would attempt to draft a constitutionfor a world state — a proposal which originated in thehumanities division."It is not suggested that the constitution drafted mightbe instantly adopted," Chancellor Hutchins said. "Itwould probably be a calamity if any constitution draftednow were to be adopted. But since we must work towardworld government or perish, we ought at once to begin14 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEtrying to find out what kind of world government weought to work toward."If we have to wait till we have a world communitybefore we have a world state, we shall not need a worldstate. If we go into a world state without a world community, the world state may fall apart. Formulating anddiscussing a constitution for a world government mustbe looked upon as part of the work of forming a worldcommunity. Although there is a tinge of megalomaniaabout it, this is one kind of work which the Americanscholar must perform today. He must bring his knowledge and his objectivity to bear upon the critical conditions of civilization. . . . Now is the time for the intellectuals to show whether they have intellects equalto the task."Your Money's WorthThe vast war activities, including the MetallurgicalLaboratory work on the atomic bomb, brought the financial operations of the University to a new high of some$32,600,000 of operating income during the fiscal year1944-45, Harvey C. Daines, A.M. '26, comptroller, reports. The consolidated income for the year, ending June30, 1945, was more than three times that of a normalpre-war year, but about two-thirds, or $20,894,000, camefrom government sources under non-profit contracts undertaken by the University for war purposes.Income of the regular budget, representing usualUniversity activities, was $9,002,784, and expenditures$8,466,083.Total funds held by the University were $136,626,037,of which $45,458,156 represented cost of investment inthe plant and equipment, $1,800,869 was annuity andliving trust funds, subject to obligations to pay income;$298,426 was loan funds and $13,127,582 was currentfunds. The total amount of gifts, grants and bequests paidin during the year was $2,361,944. Since incorporationof the University in 1890, contributions from all sourceshave aggregated $153,442,382, of which $72,603,631 hasbeen received during the last 16 years. Student fee incomewas $2,210,701. Scholarship and fellowship aid amountedto $566,975, and loans to students were $49,693.Comings and GoingsOne came and one went.

Beck retired as secretary-treasurerof the Alumni Association on January 1, 1946, HowardW. Mort was appointed to succeed him. Mort came tothe Midway from Oregon in the fall of 1927. He secureda student job in the Reynolds Club and the followingyear was appointed student manager of the Club. Laterhe became director of the Clubhouse which position heheld until 1941. At intervals during that period he devoted part time to other activities. For six months he edited the University of Chicago Magazine during the absence of Charlton Beck, who was doing special field workfor the University. For three years in the early thirties hedirected the University Band and from 1933 to 1941,he edited a weekly campus news sheet called TowerTopics.When the Alumni Foundation, a division of the A&Sp-ciation, was organized inthe fall of 1941, Mort resigned from the Reynolds Club to becomethe executive secretaryof the Foundation, andan associate editor of theMagazine.On accepting the newappointment, Mort said:"Every alumnus knowsthat no one can takeCarl's place but I amhonored to. have the opportunity to carry on forHoward W. Mort him."UNIVERSITY ORGANIZATIONAND ADMINISTRATION""" ~ " "" ~~ "• By LEONARD D. WHITE, Ph.D. '21TWO LEVELS ARE The p,anBOGGING DOWNTHERE is only one subject about which I can speakon this occasion. It is university organization andadministration. I propose to speak about the organization and administration of the University of Chicago as it is today, to make some observations on theplan that went into effect less than a year ago, and tosuggest some steps that remain to be taken.The subject is an important one. We know that theUniversity does not exist to be administered, or to provide opportunity for the officers of administration to perform their respective functions. We know also, however,that the highest fulfillment of the true objects of theUniversity may be greatly facilitated, or hampered, bythe quality and effectiveness of its administration. Thelarger a university and the more diverse its interests,the more essential is its good administration — to balance,to coordinate, and to lend confidence to all its parts.In December, 1942, the President of the University advised the Trustees that the condition of the Universitygovernment was unsatisfactory and proposed either thathe be given more authority and more responsibility orless. It could be read between the lines that he favoredmore authority and responsibility rather than less. Athis suggestion the Board of Trustees requested the thenUniversity Senate to elect a committee of seven to servejointly with the Trustee Committee on Instruction andResearch in a study of the organization of the University.The Joint Committee began its deliberations early in1943 and concluded them in the spring of 1945. Not muchhas been said publicly of these meetings, although thevarious exchanges of memoranda have all been published.In a way, not much can be said. The Trustees playeda close hand. They asked the Senate members many questions. They gave us full opportunity to express our opinions. They made various observations on plans that wethrew out for consideration. But as to their own views,they remained inscrutable. The Chairman of the Committee, who speaks tonight for the Trustees, was inscrutable — but he is a lawyer. The Trustee members of theCommittee, whether lawyers or laymen, were equally inscrutable. The proceedings were a masterpiece of inscrutability. The Senate members of the Committee cameto the end of the joint discussions without the faintestnotion as to the outcome.You may wonder how we could continue our conversations for two years under such circumstances. At timeswe wondered^ too. In December, 1944, the Trustees announced their planfor the future form of University government. The President announced his satisfaction with it, although asserting that his plan was a better one. With proper deference,Mr. Hutchins was wrong. The Trustees' plan was a betterone than his. It also was a better one than that proposedby the Senate Committee. It skillfully combined ideasfrom various sources to produce a form of universityorganization that is unique— one that, in my judgment,is destined to form the pattern for effective universityorganization throughout the United States. Every memberof the University is deeply indebted to the Board of Trustees for their statesmanlike solution of a difficult problem.We owe them our gratitude.I should like to specify the reasons why the Trustees'plan of organization has in it the marks of statesmanship.The plan combines three essentials: (1) opportunity forexecutive leadership; (2) opportunity for faculty participation; and (3) joint responsibility of faculty, administration, and Board of Trustees for the educational policyof the University.It is agreed on all sides that the University, like anyother human organization, needs leadership. It is alsoclear that over-all leadership is not likely to developspontaneously within a body of scholars, properly intentupon their own research, writing, and teaching, and organized in an ever-increasing number of departments,committees, divisions, professional schools, offices, centers,and institutes. Leadership must come in large measurefrom the Office of the Central Administration.Genuine leadership, however, can be achieved onlyif accompanied by a sense of participation by all concerned. Leadership implies followers, and this faculty canfollow only if it participates in deciding the general direction in which the University will move. We know that,at any point, some members of the faculty will sincerelybelieve that the direction agreed upon is wrong. Thiswe can endure; but the morale and integrity of no facultycan be sustained if its members are excluded, or believethey are excluded, from participation in great decisions,least of all a faculty such as this.The Trustees' plan permits vigorous executive leadership and effective faculty participation. It also placesresponsibility on both executive arid faculty for decisionson matters of educational policy. The plan sets up anorganization well designed to ensure this double responsibility: the Chancellor and his associates, on the onehand; the University Senate, Council, and Committeeon the other. It provides an incentive for agreement byreserving to the Trustees the power to decide matters of1516 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEeducational policy if agreement is not forthcoming elsewhere. I am sure I speak for the faculty when I saythat we hope the Trustees will never be called upon todecide any such issues. Again with due deference, it willbe better to allow time for us to convince each otherthan to seek a decision from them.It is too soon to speak confidently about the practicalsuccess of the Trustees' plan. May I report, however,that as I have watched its operation for two quarters, Ibelieve it is producing the results that every friend ofthe University hoped for. The Chancellor and the President have been unremitting in attendance at the meetingsof the Committee of the Council. They have brought asteady stream of important matters to our attention, somefor information and some for recommendation to theCouncil. They have answered readily all the questionswe have put to them. Our discussions of University affairshave been frank— and friendly. The Chancellor and -thePresident have made abundantly clear their intention todo their full share in making the new plan of organizationa success. To date, every recommendation of the Committee of the Council to the Council has been unanimous;and after open discussion in the Council, the recommendations of the Committee have been unanimouslyapproved. This is a record that obviously cannot be continued indefinitely, but it does demonstrate the valuesof acquaintance, conference, and participation.The First TestThe election of the Council by the Senate in May,1945, provided the first test of the system of proportional representation. There was lively interest amongthe members of the Senate and the expected attentionto the organization of quotas of voters promptly appeared. The basic interest of the Senators as electorsapparently was to ensure representation of the professional schools and other units of organization; cuttingacross this primary motivation was the division of thefaculty on the general educational policy of the University; and cutting through these lines were the specialinterests of a few groups that were able to secure representation by virtue of the small electoral quota of seven.These groups will tend to disappear in subsequent elections when the quota will rise (with election of onlyseventeen members of the Council) to the normal figureof about 25.The Council meets once a month with the Chancellorand the officers of the Central Administration. Attendance has been good, regularly about forty out of fifty-onemembers. The Council has demonstrated a desirable independence with reference to matters brought to itsattention, and a desirable initiative in suggesting improvements in the work of the University. It is a body smallenough to work effectively, and large enough to bereasonably representative. Like the Committee, the Council is becoming better acquainted with the Chancellorand with a wide variety of University problems. The requirement that seventeen members must retire annually — at least for one year — will have the beneficial result ofextending acquaintanceship and responsibility for takingdecisions in ever- widening circles. In a few years a largenumber of members of the faculty will thus be introducedto University problems and will take part in their solution.Whether the Senate, now enlarged to number about450, will develop a life and vitality of its own remainsin doubt. It performs a necessary function as an electoralagent, but I judge that it will not become an otherwiseimportant part of the University organization.I repeat that it is too soon to form a mature judgmentabout the success of the new plan of University organization. For myself, I am optimistic. All our problems arenot yet solved, and never will be; but great opportunitiesfor effective leadership, genuine cooperation, and properresponsibility have been put in our hands. May we havethe wisdom and tolerance and courage to make the mostof them.Mr. Chairman: I cannot leave the subject of university organization and administration with these commentson what has been our major problem. The growth of theUniversity and the intensification of its work have givenrise to some problems more specifically administrativein nature that also deserve attention. The managementof the educational business of the University has forsome time outgrown the capacity of those responsible forit, with the service they now possess. At some points weare in imminent danger of a breakdown.BottlenecksFor a long time the President's office was an administrative bottleneck. This situation was due not to lackof good intentions or to the absence of administrativeskill, but to the sheer lack of manpower. The job of thePresident had outgrown the working capacity of any man.The reorganization that took place last summer recognized this difficulty and went far toward correcting it.The appointment of an administrative assistant to theChancellor is a further step in the right direction. Othersteps may be needed.University educational administration rests on threelevels: first, the office of Central Administration; second,the deans of divisions and heads of professional schools;and third, the chairmen of departments and committees.The second and third levels are bogging down; some ofthe larger schools, divisions, and departments are duplicating the administrative bottleneck that is just beingbroken at the top. The pressure of educational and research business which focuses on the offices of deansand chairmen increases year by year. Deans and chairmen, if they are to retain a shred of scholarly interest,need help.The proper organization of the offices of deans andchairmen of departments is not an easy achievement.The faculty would regret — and resist — solving the problem at these two levels by providing for "professional"administrators — men and women not engaged in teach-THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 17ing, writing, or research who would give all their time tothe business of their offices. One element of the strengthof this University has been that, at all levels of its administration, educational management has been in the handsof persons themselves engaging in the essential functionsof the University.At the Dean's LevelAt the dean's level, I incline to the opinion that thesolution may be found in the kind of a team that isnow at work in the Office of Central Administration:a team comprising two or three members of the facultywho have administrative talent and the confidence bothof the dean and of his faculty, each of whom wouldgive up a substantial part of his teaching load. Theywould be able to relieve the dean of much of the preliminary spadework that must go into group decisions,of much of the committee work that he cannot nowescape, and of much of the routine paper work thatgrows incredibly year by year. The dean would continueto make decisions appropriate to his office. In this orin some other way, deans need help, if they are to remain, as they should remain, active members of a community of scholars.At the Departmental LevelAt the departmental level, the situation is j like thaton the dean's level, but in lesser degree. Here I speakfrom experience, which I am sure is shared by chairmenof many departments. We are fighting a losing battleagainst the advancing enemy. The forms that we haveto fill out grow each year in volume and complexity. Thenumber of hours we are directed to be on duty for counselling students steadily increases, although it never hascaught up to the hours that students require. The number of committees of which we are members multiplies,and we are saved only by the inability of committee chairmen to arrange meetings because members are attendingother meetings. We can devote ourselves to our researchand writing only by leaving the city.The remedy at the departmental level is relativelysimple. First, the paper work imposed upon us is excessive and should be simplified without delay. Second, weneed to ask our departmental colleagues to share moreof the work. We have done little of this, wishing to protect them as far as possible in their enjoyment of thegood life. Third, in the large departments, we need thekind of superior secretarial aid with which a few departments have been blessed for many years: an intelligent,responsible, and responsive person who can do — muchbetter than we can — the necessary routine work that mustbe done. Such people can be found, and can be persuaded to help us over a long span of years. They areliterally invaluable. We cannot expect to get this kindof help, however, on the basis of present provisions forsalaries and for security. I hope that we can experimentboldly at this essential level of administration. It shouldnot be necessary to sacrifice the precious time of men So much publicity wasgiven the birth pains ofChicago's new form of"faculty - administration"government a year agothat when Leonard D.White, at the annualTrustee - Faculty Dinner,gave a report of progresswe thought it should bepassed on to you. Dr.White, who has the confidence of his colleaguesand a reputation for fair-miindedness, served aschairman of the FacultyCommittee in working outthese changes in organization. Beginning with our subtitle "Bottlenecks" Dr. White deals with another phase ofadministration which will be of specific interest to the vastnumber of our readers who are charged with educationaladministration as a part of their faculty appointments.Leonard D. White, Professor of Public Administration, isalso Chairman of the Administrative Committee of theDepartment of Political Science — which explains why hespeaks with emphasis and feeling on details which cause"bogging down."and women who want to be productive scholars. Theircontribution is too great to throw away.Another administrative reform is needed: a revisionof the personnel system of the whole University. Thisis a large undertaking which if entered upon will requirecareful study. I do not recall that the personnel systemof the University has ever been systematically and critically examined as such. Two large groups are involved—the faculty and the employees. The situation may soonbecome urgent if, as seems likely, we are moving intoan era of generally higher price and wage levels.CompensationThe salary level of the faculty is important both absolutely and in relation to that maintained by other greatuniversities. It is my impression that we are not holdingour own. Also important are such matters as reasonableuniformity of salary levels among men of the same rank,promotion without undue delay, and recognition of scholarly achievement. Furthermore, the time will soon comefor a review of experience with the new four-quartercontract.With respect to the employees of the University someform of security program is greatly needed. The presentplan of small allowances upon retirement, made as anact of grace, and only where absolutely necessary, carefully fashioned to the financial situation of each employee, is out of step with the times. The Universityshould pioneer in its dealings with its employees, not lagfar behind progressive standards found elsewhere.In closing may I make the observation that a university is neither a business nor a government. Its properorganization is not to be modeled on that of a businessor a government. The great tasks of a university are dis-18 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEcovery, the development of minds., ^and the transmissionof culture The organization of a university must beadapted to these ends of discovery, the development ofminds, and the transmission of culture The administration of the university exists to facilitate these ends Itis essentially a cooperative enterprise, needing leadershipand also needing the sense of participation among itsmembers We now have an organization of the University which as such admirably meets these needs.

The marvel is that a young man could gothrough all this and eight months later sit calmly andmodestly in our office telling the story as if it had been asimple thirty-minute nightmare. Because he spoke and readGerman easily, Lt. Lyman Burbank was attached as interpreter to the American administration offices in prison;because he was a normal American youth he retained hissense of humor through all the horror — as indicated in theabove diary excerpts; because he looked upon the War asonly a temporary interlude to his ambitions, he is now hardat work preparing himself for what he earnestly hopes willbe a peaceful world.Prisoners Arejngenic24 Nov 344 Cold ram all day Food situation gettingdarker Mail situation bad Too many 'absentee ballotsand Christmas cards are taking mail space Col Spiveywas fit to be tied His mail was a ballot from MayorHague's Jersey City, where he has never voted m his life8 Dec '44 Bitter cold An officer m West Compoundis being held for court-martial for destruction of Reichproperty — cutting up a mattress cover to make underwear The order on no mass escapes limits all projectsto five men (six are a mass) A severe handicap12 Dec '44 News is indicative of something big asAmericans start fourth offensive against Aachen Themen are pessimistic Something has gone wrong "Somebody snafu'ed — but good "18 Dec '44 Ten degrees above The German newscast at 1300 collapsed our hopes "At 0530 on December16 the German army started an offensive and brokethrough the West Wall between Aachen and Luxembourg The allies were taken by surprise " This was theonly news of the day Men joke about their sons beingtaken prisoners before they are released20 Dec '44 The men are confused by the confidenceof the Germans in the apparent success of the breakthroughChristmas Day Someone walked into the camp infirmary with a miniature U S flag m his hat The Germans paled with rage The flag was removed, the storygot around, and soon hundreds of miniature flags werein evidence No action S (Continued from Page 9)solemn and stern There is great tragedy in this defeatfor the Germans, "Never to rise again," remarked one19 Jan '45 Camp morale on the ceiling Much speculation, rumor, planning and preparation to move Russians 150 miles away20 Jan '45 Snappy cooperation and obedience toorders Russians 120 miles away In the news room themen stood before the map and cheered like football fanswhen advances were marked up22 Jan '45 High spirits Russians 110 miles awayA complete organization set up for expected marchmedics, engineers, supply and operations Bitter coldwhich is dreaded for a march All night men preparebed rolls and sew knapsacks23 Jan '45 More preparations for evacuation Situation bad outside the wire Temperature zero Roadscongested with pathetic evacuees Flat top cars, 50 women (most with babies, many dead) on each open carLivestock, dead from starvation and exposure, litter road24 Jan '45 Men huddle under loud speaker for clueof Russian delivery or German evacuation Col Spiveystresses importance of traveling light and orders camphistorians to pack files and records25 Jan '45 Camp electrified at 1600 when speakerannounced Russian spearhead 48 miles east of campSnowing27 Jan '45 This is it1 Hit the road at three AMColonel remarks We are in a hell of a mess no matterwhat happensTHE ORIGINAL ABORIGINEMrs. Elizabeth Messick HoukEditor's Note: We are indebted to Eldon Roark, whosecolumn "Strolling With Eldon Roark" is a daily featureof the Memphis Press-Scimitar, for permission to reprintthe following excerpt from his column of December 14.I knew that Mrs.Elizabeth MessickHouk was a distinguished woman — thatshe was a former superintendent of countyschools, and that Messick High was namedfor her. But I didn'tknow till the other daythat her distinction inthe field of educationextended way back to1892.In that year, as asomewhat frightenedgirl of 16, Mrs. Houkbecame the first student to enter the thennew University ofChicago.This bit of biography came to my attention when areader sent me a bulletin of the Kentucky Wesleyan College. It contained an address made by William AylettBuckner, of the Class of '95."At the beginning of the 20th century, I left Kentuckyto reside for the next 10 years at Memphis," Mr. Bucknersaid in opening his speech. "There I became acquaintedwith many interesting people . . . among these was thesuperintendent of Shelby County. From her I receiveda first hand story of the birth of Chicago University."Elizabeth Messick was brought up on a" farm nearMemphis," he continued, "and when she was aboutthrough with high school she determined to have a career.In those days higher education for women meant attendance at Wellesley or Vassar, or some other women'scollege."About that time it was announced that John D. Rockefeller had given some millions for the creation of auniversity at Chicago which was to have all the modernrefinements, including co-education. Elizabeth Messickdecided that was the school for her. So one day in thefall of 1892 she arrived at Chicago, hailed a horse-drawncab and asked to be driven to Chicago University."But the driver didn't know where the University ofChicago was. Had never heard of it. A policeman onthe corner didn't know either.Miss Messick knew it was supposed to be somewherenear the grounds of the Columbian Exposition, then under construction. So they turned the horse in that direction.They drove on and on. After about an hour they beganto leave the city behind entirely. Fears, all kinds of fears,began to flash through the mind of the young girl. Sheexpressed some of them to the driver. He assured herthey were going in the direction of the exposition grounds.Finally they came to the big project, but they couldn'tsee anything that looked like a school. So they inquiredat a drug store. The druggist had never heard of theUniversity of Chicago. His clerk, however, spoke up."There's a fellow named Harper in that house acrossthe street," he said. "He's starting some kind of school."Miss Messick went over to the house and rang the bell."And at that moment, the University of Chicago wasborn!" Mr. Buckner continued. "For just as a theatermay have a stage and scenery, an acting company anda play, it cannot function without an audience. So aUniversity requires not only buildings and libraries andlaboratory and faculty, but also must have students."When 'the fellow named Harper' opened the door toElizabeth Messick, the President of the University wasfor the first time in the presence of his student body.Elizabeth Messick was the first person to demand admission to the University as a student!"Needless to say, Dr. Harper was delighted to see thenew arrival. He had had dinner and was in conferencewith some of his faculty to whom Elizabeth Messick wasintroduced. They made much over her."The first class to graduate at the University of Chicago were called 'the Aborigines', and the faculty groupthat Miss Messick encountered that evening dubbed her'the Original Aborigine'."Mrs. Elizabeth Messick Houk, a widow, lives at theNineteenth Century Club in Memphis. So when I readMr. Buckner's speech I called the club and asked for her.She said, yes, Mr. Buckner had a remarkable memory.It had been a long long time since she had told himthe story, but it was correct. And she added a little moreabout that day she made history at Chicago.Most of the faculty members of the new Universitywere staying temporarily at the Vendome Hotel. Dr.Harper took her there. A cot was put in the room ofMiss Marian Talbot, dean of women, and she roomedwith her.Miss Messick also took her meals at the hotel, a lonelittle girl sitting at a big table with a group of distinguished professors.She saw buildings for the new University and the Columbian Exposition erected, and then she saw the Exposition itself while enjoying the distinction of being aco-ed! Those were thrilling days!19NINE LETTER "C" MAN-Editor's Note: The following article by Harry L. Bird,'22, appeared originally in the December, 1945, issue ofthe uPalm of Alpha Tau Omega".Paul Hinkle, '21, was a great athlete at the Universityof Chicago. He became a great coach. True, his abilities did not receive the national recognition of his sidekick, "Fritz" Crisler, '22. But he came into his own ina big way when he was given charge of the Great Lakesteams early in the war, and none who saw his Bluejackets whip Notre. Dame in 1943 with a terrific lastminute touch down will dispute his greatness.This merely proved what his former employers hadknown all along— that, given the right material, he couldproduce results right along with the "name" coaches.He hasn't always had stellar players to work with, buthe's never failed to get the best out of what he had.A Hoosier Hot-ShotThis fall Tony was released after 44 months in theNavy, to start his seventeenth year as athletic directorand head coach at Butler University, Indianapolis. Theythink a lot of him in the Hoosier capital. That state isa hot-bed of basketball fanatics. It has produced somegreat cage mentors, but Hinkle's record stacks up withthe best.In 311 starts the big ex-Maroon, whose swarthy skinearned him his college nickname of "Tony" and "TheGreek", led his Butler fives to 208 victories, for a percentage of .668. And they played some of the top teamsin the land. In 1929 they won the national title. Theycaptured Indiana Collegiate Conferences in 1927, 1928,1929, 1930 and 1939, and the Missouri Valley Championship in 1933 and 1934.Under the Grand Old Man at Chicago, Tony wonthree letters each in football, basketball and baseball. Hewas a starting end on the powerful 1919 and 1920 elevens,and a better than average pitcher in baseball. He madethe historic trip to Japan with the 1920 Maroon diamondsquad. He could have sparkled in track if he'd beenable to fit it in with baseball.The hoop game, however, was really his dish. Heproved it by captaining the Maroon quintet for two successive years and making All-Conference guard three yearsrunning. He led Chicago into a national championshipseries with Penn, and fed Ted Curtiss what they boththought was the winning basket just as the gun wentoff , only to have the timekeeper announce that he shouldhave fired his gun three seconds sooner.Winning His "I"Out on the Midway they still tell of the time the Greekwon his "I" in football. It was in the closing momentsof a hard-fought game with Iowa, who had the great Devine brothers, Duke Slater and Gordon Locke ontheir side. The Maroons were ahead 9-6, but Iowa wasthreatening, when Stagg sent Hinkle in. At that timeit was illegal for a new player to talk until one play hadbeen run. Full of fight, he dashed onto the field andshouted, "C'mon fellers! Let's go!" An alert officialheard him and promptly marched the ball almost tothe Maroon goal line. Only a miracle kept the Hawkeyesfrom scoring. When a somewhat subdued Tony reachedthe clubhouse, Fritz Crisler and the other boys wereready for him with a large letter "I" (for Iowa).While an undergraduate, he took an active part incampus life. He was treasurer of the Reynold's Club,men's social organization, and member of the varioushonor societies. He was a member of Alpha Tau Omegafraternity, and an officer in the chapter. He also waselected to Owl and Serpent, Skull and Crescent, andIron Mask.When Pat Page, Stagg's assistant, went to Butler asAthletic Director in 1921, Tony went along. Five yearslater he moved into the top slot after Page resigned,remaining there until March, 1942. Then he was commissioned a Lieutenant in the Navy and assigned to GreatLakes.They kept him busy. Besides coaching football andbasketball, he assisted Micky Cochrane in baseball andhelped develop the physical hardness and recreation program for all personnel. In March, 1944, when hispredecessor left, Tony became Athletic Officer, corresponding to the Director of Athletics job at a University.From Great Lakes to GuamThat September, Tony was shipped out, going toGuam. There he established a Fleet Recreation Center,two centers for enlisted men and one for officers. Hespent about a year on the island before heading home inOctober.A stickler for fundamentals in every sport he coaches,Tony follows the Stagg pattern of shaping his attack tofit his material. Some of his teams feature a high-scoring offensive, others are long on defense. But hehas one basic rule for all — confidence. His players catchhis own self-assurance of victory, and fight right downto the last second. They win a lot of close ones andlose some close ones too, but the big guy on the benchnever gives up hope as long as there's a chance. It paysoff.

Butwith General Electric it's a fact.Air conditioning units thatmake every night in the year "agood night to sleep"— automatichome heating systems — silentfans— quieter street cars and buses— heating pads— and featherweight electric blankets for zeronights...These are only a few of themany aids to better sleep developed by General Electric engineers and research scientists.General Electric Company, Schenectady, N. Y.She likes to sleep "snug as a bug in a rug" on zero nights. Ker husband is a ruggeder,warmer-blooded sort. But a feather-weight G-E automatic blanket for each is perfect —for these blankets can be adjusted to keep beds at any degree of warmth evenly all nightlong, despite temperature changes. G-E automatic blankets are made according to the sameprinciple that keeps high-altitude flying suits "electrically warm" even at 60° F. below zero.Taking the clatter out of the trolleys. Luckyindeed are folks sleeping along the routes ofmodern street cars and G-E powered electrictrolley coaches. For these hush-hush vehiclesbarely whisper when they pass — even at fullspeed. The electric trolley coach is quieter byactual noise-meter test. Taking the buzz out of fans means takingthe buzz out of the blades. For a lot of fannoise, like airplane noise, comes from thewhirring blades. The result of G. E.'s designing and testing innumerable fan bladesis the unique "Vortalex" type. You canhardly hear it even if you listen carefully! Taking street light out of bedrooms. Thisnew street light is the greatest advance in residential street lighting in 40 years. Designedby G-E lighting engineers, it projects lightaway from the houses and to the street. Itprovides more light on the street where itbelongs and less on your house front.More Goods for More People at Less CostGENERAL ® ELECTRIC932-644C-211
