HUTCHINSTHE sudden change in the international position ofthe United States confronts the rising generationof her citizens with problems unknown to theirpredecessors. This change, added to the dislocations attendant upon the end of a great war, has put an unprecedented strain on the character and intelligence ofour people. The results so far are not encouraging tothose who believe that the prospects of civilization dependon the world leadership of the United States. It sometimes seems as though we had stopped fighting the Germans and the Japanese only to begin fighting one another, and to talk about fighting the Russians.Many people think, and I am one of them, that wecannot have world peace without world government.But, if world government is to last, it must rest upon aworld community. Our agitation for world governmentunfortunately coincides with the demonstration that wehave very little community at home; and our vast military preparations suggest that we place our hope for thefuture in beating other nations rather than in joiningthem.These facts and tendencies reveal once more thatvcivilization is doomed unless the hearts and minds ofmen can be changed unless we can bring about a moral,intellectual, and spiritual reformation, so deep and drasticas to be called a revolution, throughout the world. SinceI believe that this revolution should be led by educatedmen and women, and since I am convinced that this isthe most important task you have before you, I want totake the last few minutes of your formal education totell you exactly what the task is.The moral problem has been dramatized for us in recent weeks by the response to the demands of John L.Lewis and the Railroad Brotherhoods. The outcry againstthese demands was absurd; for they were in the standard tradition of American economic life. The motto ofAmerican economic life is, "Get all you can." When Mr.Lewis and the Brotherhoods saw a chance to get more,they took it; they, would have been unAmerican if theyhad not. Objections to their action came with bad gracefrom those who by precept and example had taught themthe lesson that you should get all you can, that the morepower you have the more you will get, and that justiceis the interest of the stronger.We hear that labor will never be satisfied. Why shouldlabor be satisfied, when nobody else ever has been?As Tawney has said, "The naive complaint that workmen are never satisfied is strictly true. It is true, not onlyof workmen, but of all classes in a society which conducts its affairs on the principle that wealth, instead ofbeing proportioned to function, belongs to those who canget it. They are never satisfied, nor can they be satisfied. For as long as they make that principle the guide of theirindividual lives and their social order, nothing short ofinfinity could bring them satisfaction."The educators of America supported the Army Enlisted Reserve Corps, an obviously undemocratic proposal, because they hoped it would maintain their tuitionincome during the war; and the last reforms that will bemade in American education are the abolition of academic rank and the substitution of faculty living allowances based on need for faculty salaries based on marketvalue.Desires for things in the material order can never besatisfied. If there is no standard of economic life exceptthat each man shall desire more than he has thus farobtained, if economic activity is simply organized competition in greed, then there is little hope of communityat home, and none of community on a world > scale. AsWalter Lippmann has put it, "The social problem of themodern world arises not out of the objective difficultyof providing an adequate material existence, but out ofmen's subjective expectations, which, because they areunlimited and insatiable, cause violence, inequality,hatred, and frustration." Violence, inequality, hatred,and frustration these are the consequences if our watchword is, "Get all you can."Our moral disorder has an intellectual foundation. Theprinciple of order is the intellect. If we do not knowwhat is good or what is the right order of goods, thefailure is an intellectual failure. If it is to order theparts in relation to one another and to the whole, theintellect must see the whole and the parts in relation toit and to one another. But contemporary education hasdenied the value of the comprehension of the whole.Instead of combating the doctrine that you should getall you can, it has supported and abetted it by saying,"We will help you in your struggle to get all you can byteaching you some special technique that will give youa definite advantage over your fellow-men."Other civilizations were destroyed by barbarians fromwithout. We breed our own. The new barbarians have,many of them, very sharp wits. They have marveloustechnical skill. They may even be very learned in specific disciplines. But they are barbarians because they areuncultivated; they lack culture. Culture is not mereaesthetic ornamentation on the one hand or the graspof a narrow field of specialization on the other. Cultureis the mastery of a system of ideas.This speech by Chancellor Hutchins is published particularly for the more than 150 new members of the AlumniAssociation to whom it was addressed at their June Convocation.34 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEOrtega has pointed out that living is simply doing onething rather than another. Life is a chaos, a jungle. Themind of man revolts against bewilderment and finds waysthrough the jungle in the form of clear ideas and positiveconvictions. These become the effective guide of existence. We cannot live on the human level without ideas.Upon them depends what we do. Culture, in the sense ofthe mastery of a system of ideas, is what saves humanlife from being mere disaster, what makes it somethingabove meaningless tragedy or inward disgrace. The newbarbarians are those who have had no will or no opportunity to develop a system of ideas because they haveconfined themselves or been confined to small fractionsof human interest and experience. They have no conception of the nature of the world or the destiny of man.They are isolated, isolated by their private preoccupations and their limited views. They cannot communicatewith others because they have nothing in common withothers. They cannot be members of a community.It seems altogether likely that any true communitymust have a spiritual basis. Why should we love ourneighbors? Why should we regard all men as brothers?The brotherhood of man must rest on the fatherhood ofGod. If God is denied, or man's spiritual nature is denied, then the basis of community disappears. If menare brutes like any others, then there is no reason whythe law of the jungle should not prevail among them;there is no foundation for our talk of the dignity of manor for our notion that one man should not regard another as an instrument to be used or exploited. If a manhas the power, why shouldn't he get all he can, eventhough he gets it at the expense of the weak? Why isn'tjustice the interest of the stronger?Unless we believe that every man is the child of God,we cannot love our neighbors. Most cats and most dogsare more attractive than most men. Unless we see menas children of God, they appear to us as rivals, or customers, or foreigners, unrelated to us except as means toour ends. Even if all men could in some way come toknow what was good and to see the goods in the rightorder; even if all men had acquired the highest culture,the competition for material goods among them and theintellectual differences between them would still tear themapart. But these struggles and differences can be composed and the human community can arise as men meetin the religious dimension and each man see each otherman as a child of God. "But," you say, "why do I need to see men this way?I am a humanitarian and a liberal. I will help my fellowmen without worrying about whether we have a commonFather. I will work for better housing, shorter hours,higher wages, and greater educational opportunity forall mankind. I will oppose discrimination among men onthe basis of race, creed, or color. I will moderate my desires, seek to get culture, and practice the social virtuestwenty-four hours a day. What more do you want?"I will admit that if the whole world practiced Aristotle'sEthics the whole world would be much better off thanit is today. But I doubt if any single man, to say nothingof the whole world, can practice Aristotle's Ethics without the support and inspiration of religious faith. ThisAristotle himself seemed to recognize; for the ideal manwhom he holds up to our admiration is one who is almost divine. The modern critic is inclined to scoff at theAristotelian phrase that men are rational animals. It isno longer fashionable to refer to the rationality of man.But Aristotle was saying not merely that men were rational, but also that they were animal. Because men areanimal, because the flesh is weak and life is hard, thevirtues cannot be consistently practiced without divineaid.The humanitarian effort, moreover, is vitiated by thesense of superiority which it implies. It becomes anotherform of self-seeking and self-glorification. If you set outto do other people good, it is difficult to avoid the ultimate conclusion that you can do them good because youare better than they are. To found a durable communitywe must have a deep sense of our own unimportance anda deep conviction of the importance of others. That senseand that conviction cannot be sustained by any merelymundane considerations. They require us to meet ourfellow-men upon a spiritual plane.If we want world peace, a world community, and aworld state that will last, we must promote a moral, intellectual, and spiritual revolution throughout the world.To try to get all we can, to breed more barbarians, toregard one another as so many animals, rational or not,will lead us inevitably to the final catastrophe. It is verylate; perhaps nothing can save us. But, if we can take forour motto, "Enough and no more"; if we can gain forourselves a coherent system of ideas concerning the worldand humanity; if we can mean the fatherhood of Godwhen we say the brotherhood of man, then we may haveone more chance.MORE THAN 1,000 EXPOSURES were made by "Life" photographer Fritz W. Goro topresent the epic picture story of the plutonium laboratory at the University of Chicagoin the July 8 issue of the weekly magazine.The story, which was displayed in 34 pictures covering 16 pages of "Life," revealed in pictures for the first time the historic research at the University of Chicago on the man-made element used in the atomic bomb. The research, which led to the first chain reaction by Enrico Fermi,Nobel-prize physicist, in a squash court under the west stands of Stagg Field, took place in !,NewChem" one of the sites of the Manhattan District at the University.It took "Life" reporter Robert Campbell and Mr. Goro almost four months to cover the assignment. Some of the pictures, Mr. Goro reported, took him a week to secure the desired angles.The beauty of his colored photographs of plutonium, neptunium and ultra-microchemical processes is the tribute of his magical eye for scientific detail.ONE MAN'S OPINIONWHEN anyone at the University answered thetelephone or read his mail during the last yearthe odds were about one in three that the communication was a request for help on behalf of a prospective student. Education is one of the commodities ofwhich the supply is far short of the demand, and despiteeffective efforts the University has made to accommodatemore students, it can not find room for all who arequalified. It has had to turn away thousands of applicants; the prospect is that it will continue to do so forseveral years. The worst victims of the rush for highereducation are the high school graduates, for the universalpressure and policy in all colleges is to give the veteranspreference. The surest way a student has of entering theCollege here is to come in at the end of his sophomoreyear in the first year of the College where there is nocompetition from the veterans.The limiting factors on enrolment are teachers, classroom and laboratory facilities, and housing. In general,they have to be increased together. Classroom and laboratory space was the smallest of the University's problems.There are enough classrooms, if they are in use throughout the entire day. There is a shortage of laboratories forstudents and there is scarcely enough space into which to. fit temporarily some of the important new research activities, such as the institutes in nucleonics, until newbuildings can be constructed. But the major difficultiesin expanding are those of housing and staff.In 1940, the University could accommodate 1397 students in its residence halls and in International House.By the device of double occupancy, wherever possible,the capacity this autumn will be 1749. There are 27apartments for married graduate students and 32 formarried students in the Divinity School. In the last yeara building which houses 181 men was acquired in the6200 block of Drexel avenue.The heaviest demand, however, came from marriedveterans. To meet it in part, the University acquired onloan from the government 189 pre-fabricated houseswhich were taken from war plant sites and dotted upand down both sides of the Midway. These are compact,livable units, some with one bedroom and some with two,and to a veteran who has been crowding a wife and childor two into a hotel room, they are more than satisfactory.By autumn, another 200 units will be available, in buildings that have four units each. A dormitory buildinghousing a hundred men also is being added. In addition,a University owned building with 24 apartments will beturned over to married veterans.Altogether, the housing has been increased from 1456to 2502, an impressive accomplishment in a crowded urbanarea. The 400 pre-fabricated units represent a goodsized subdivision, requiring water, sewer, and light installations on a considerable scale. There are no nearbyArmy camps to take over, and usual type of residence By WILLIAM V. MORGENSTERN, '20, J.D. '22buildings can not be acquired easily in a city which isexperiencing a great housing shortage. Construction ofresidence halls is an impossibility under today's prices;the rental required to carry them would be prohibitive.Even the rentals on the fre-fabricated houses is not low,though the government provides the houses, and the University the land. The cost of transporting the houses,repairing and painting them, and installing the services,required, on a cost basis, rentals of $37 and $40 for one-bedroom, and $40 and $42 for the two-bedroom houses.There is a seller's market today in qualified facultymembers. During the war, many institutions cut downthe size of their teaching staffs because there were nostudents. Those institutions are now scrambling to rebuild their staffs, but by and large they are not competing with the University, for good teachers are notinterested in educational organizations which operate ona seasonal demand basis. There is real competition between the upper level of universities for top men; theyall are expanding, and they all need bigger staffs. Somegood men have been taken but the University has acquiredconsiderably more first rank men than it has lost.The University had the courage during the bleak waryears to hold its faculty together, regardless of registration. In some areas, because of the special war training,the faculty was worked overtime; in others, students werefew. Because it kept its faculty the University began thisboom period with a staff that was intact. Some areas,such as the rapidly growing College, kept adding teacherswhenever it could find good ones, and the fact that itwas trying to work out a sound program of general education was an attractive selling point to the instructors itsought. In the entire University, the staff in 1940, frominstructors to full professors, was 516; in the spring quarter it was 643. Soaring registration has increased the sizeof classes beyond what is desirable in parts of the University but in the College it is still possible to hold classesto an average of 30.Spring quarter registration was the highest it has everbeen for that quarter, with 6,501 students on the quadrangles, compared to 5,716, the previous top total. Therealso were 2,513 students in University College downtown. The number of veterans was 539 in the autumnquarter, 1,570 in the winter, and 2,680 in the spring.The estimate for this autumn is 8,300 students on thequadrangles and 2,700 in University College, or 11,000altogether, the highest in the University's existence, andalmost double the average enrolment for the decade1931-41. Of this student body, 4,500 will be veterans.Though it can not take everyone who is competent todo its work, the University will give those students it admits an education that is up to the Chicago standard.There is no dilution and no compromise. By pre-warstandards, the University is engaged in mass education,but its product will be of the same quality.ALUMNI CITATIONSSpencer C. Dickerson, '97,Chicago Physician.

The breakdown was:377 Bachelors113 Masters28 Doctorates26 Bachelors of Library Science21 Divinity6 Doctors of Law3 Doctors of MedicineWith 284 of the 377 receiving thenew College bachelor degrees andwith everyone wondering where thesedegrees will now lead, the editorspolled the 377.Of the 116 returning the questionnaires, 74 (63%) plan to continue atChicago for divisional and graduatework. Twenty of the remaining 42will continue their formal educationat other institutions in some casesbecause their fields of specializationare not covered on the Midway.Few consider their bachelor degreesterminal training except in the caseof the women who have or expect tohave their bachelors leading to anM-R-S.The following details will doubtlessbe interesting to the MAGAZINEreaders since most of the 116 havejoined the Association and you willbe hearing more about them in future issues.Evelyn E.

Recent uninformed criticism of the work of the graduate departments would, indeed, seem to call for some such statement, since most of our alumni are not familiar with allthe facts, and it is well that their opinion of our workshould not rest on unwarranted strictures by men, however eminent, who have neither received the degree ofPh.D. nor had any part in the selection and training ofresearch personnel.Criticism of American education should be encouraged,for there is always room for improvement, and our idealsare high. Our schools could be better and many earnestmen are striving to make them better. But this must notbe held to imply that we have not made vast strides. Myown schooling began in 1879 and my college course wasof the old fashioned kind: Greek, German, seven yearsof Latin (including high school), mathematics, logic,science, literature, etc. Six sons and three stepchildrenhave all gone through school and college, attending,among them, more than a dozen different institutions.It is my firm conviction that their teachers were betterprepared than my own, their courses of study more wiselyplanned, and the end result, in each case, suffers in norespect by comparison. Those who insist that the education our children are now receiving is inferior to thatoffered in former years never give convincing argumentsand often present no proof whatsoever.But great as has been our accomplishment in improving elementary, secondary and collegiate education, byfar the most notable achievement has been the workingout of a method of discovering competent students to betrained in discovery and research in a program leadingto the Ph.D. degree. The brilliant galaxy of scientiststrained in American universities is a source of nationalpride and has won the admiration of scholars the worldover.By 1911 the advice was differentThe relatively short period of time in which to realizethese results is not always recalled, and comes as a surprise to many informed people. Until comparatively recent times our scholars who wished to complete theirscientific training were compelled to do so in Europe.When I was a graduate student in psychology, four out offive of the leading psychologists in America were trainedabroad, In the year 1902, as a graduate student, I was DOCTORATE ELLSWORTH FARIS, Ph.D. '14encouraged by my teachers to seek a degree in a continental university, following my residence here.But by 1911, to my surprise, the advice was different,for by then my professors all agreed that our Americanlaboratories were as good or better than those in Europeand that our method of training graduate students in research was distinctly superior. It was not till the fourthquarter of the nineteenth century that Hopkins initiatedthe project and it was seventeen years later when our ownuniversity launched its program of graduate study aprogram that has made the University of Chicago theacademic capital of the Mississippi valley and a center ofinfluence among the universities of the nation.It was, indeed, high time. Until the doctor's degreewas inaugurated all our schools and colleges were engaged almost exclusively in transmitting to our youth theknowledge, wisdom, and ideals of their fathers. A growing realization that our knowledge was increasingly inadequate and that our problems were multiplying madeour leaders aware of the need to add to our knowledgeand to explore the unknown. They saw that civilizationdemands the systematic training of those who will devotetheir energies to seeking answers to questions that havebeen unanswered from the foundation of the world. Theresponse to this demand was the inauguration of amethod of seeking out and training in a systematic waya limited number of gifted young people in the methodsof specialized scientific research. The result was the institution of the degree of doctor of philosophy.The facts must be verifiedThe fulness of time had come. The scientific methodhad been developed over a span of three and a half centuries, and was unassailable. It is a very simple methodbut its explicit formulation and acceptance had takencenturies. It consists in essence in some such procedureas the following: A clear statement of the question to beinvestigated (the problem) ; a recognition of the dataneeded to resolve the inquiry (the facts) ; the formulation in the mind (imagination) of the possible outcome(hypothesis) ; reformulation when, .after observation orexperiment, the facts make this necessary; skill in limiting conclusions to the facts; and recognition of the newproblems that are practically certain to appear. Theoretical formulations and bold imaginations are encouraged but the final test must be the facts of experience.And by experience is meant something that can be seenor heard or handled and which can be observed by others.No experiment is considered final until it has been confirmed and verified by some one else.In the meantime" the power of the sense organs to perceive had been greatly augmented. Instruments of precisionthe scornful sometimes call them gadgets hadbeen constructed of curved glass and metal tubes revealing a world hitherto invisible, amplifying devices madeaudible the inaudible, and measuring instruments wereTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 11devised with such fine fiducial fingers that a human hairappeared as huge as a saw-log.Men like Copernicus in the sixteenth century, or Newton in the seventeenth, Franklin in the eighteenth, andDarwin in the nineteenth had shown what sound research procedure could accomplish and our debt to theseand other men of genius is truly a vast debt, but our needis so pressing that we cannot afford to wait for the rareevent of the birth of a great genius. The doctor's degreetrains numbers of competent men the great genius isfar too infrequent for our comfort and safety.Ph.D. not union card ...Although graduate training was late in coming toAmerica, it has grown with great rapidity and today thereare many universities of the first rank where the veryhighest standards are maintained. Unfortunately, it mustbe admitted that we have no laws to prevent poorlyequipped institutions from issuing diplomas to doctors,but this is one of the consequences of our freedom, andwe can hope that only the fittest will survive. The University of Chicago has conferred the degree on some fourthousand candidates a larger proportion of the totalalumni than most American schools.Notwithstanding the high quality of our doctors andthe splendid work that they have done and ^are doing,there have appeared in recent times criticisms and attacks with which most of my readers will be familiar. Inthe November-December number of the MAGAZINEthere was published an extremely unsympathetic discussion of this degree, actually advocating its abolishment ordrastic reformation. The Ph.D. diploma is quite inaccurately referred to as a "union card," the inference beingthat academic posts are contingent on its possession. Thisassumption is, of course, not true.. . . nor are candidates hooded automataThe bitter attack goes on to insist that the successfulcandidate, instead of finding himself a man able to think,is more likely to become a "hooded automaton." It ischarged that only in rare instances has the candidate anyindependence while seeking the degree and the very institution of the doctorate is asserted to "lie heavy like ahand of doom." Warming up to his subject the writerasserts that the successful candidate is confused, chargingat the same time that he is snobbish and feels himselfsuperior to the common man. The article in question wasthe text of a convocation address and was delivered onthe occasion of the conferring of advanced degrees andbefore a faculty consisting almost entirely of "hoodedautomata."Having made a hit-and-run attack on our highest degree (the speaker left the University at once for a jobin business) the critic proceeded to drop an atomic bombon the sociologists with accusations that would, indeed,be devastating if true. Sociologists are charged with "adisdain for the people" and one reads in black and whitethe monstrous assertion that sociologists "deliberately created a terminology to confuse the public." Such an attack is so highly inaccurate and so obviouslythe product of an emotional bias that it carries its ownrefutation. But there have been other utterances of thesame general tenor and the reader who is not familiarwith the facts and conditions may easily be led to forman erroneous opinion. Perhaps the best answer would bea simple list of names it would be a long list if complete which are known and honored of men. Milliken, Compton, Schlessinger, Carlson, Thomas, Vincent, Ogburn,Burgess, Bliss, Breasted, Barrows, Dempster, Goodspeed,Luckhart I set the names down at random. Eccehomines! There would be many hundreds of names deserving of a place in our list. The proof of the value ofthe training can be seen in the excellence of the mentrained.But as a holder of the degree and as one who hascounseled graduate students in half a dozen great universities over a period of more than thirty years, I mightventure to clarify the discussion by some account of whatthe degree is like as seen from the inside. I might mention that most fruitful and stimulating period of my lifewhen Profesors Angell, Tufts, Mead and their colleagueswere guiding my efforts to become a competent scholar.I may have become a "hooded automaton" but I certainly had all the freedom and independence that heartcould desire. To an unfriendly critic I may have appearedsnobbish but if my word may be trusted I was morekeenly aware, after I had received the degree, of the limitations of my knowledge.Most students go the roundsLet me speak of the more than a hundred students overwhose course I have had a certain oversight. With abachelor's degree representing eight years of study beyond the elementary school, the young student is admitted as a graduate student if his record has been creditable. If he is seeking a doctorate in sociology he spendsa year getting a broad acquaintance with the specialtyof his choice. In the second year he makes a selection ofsome four of the seven or so "fields" of sociology. (For,confess it I must, the cosmic process has brought it aboutthat within the specialization called sociology there havearisen sub-specialties, just as in every department of research, from anatomy to zoology. ) In this period the student passes a stiff test on his ability to read the foreignlanguages most appropriate to his researcn. Usually thisis in German and French but it might be Spanish orPortuguese or any other.Elsworth Faris, who received his S.B. and A.M. fromTexas Christian University (Dallas) before coming to Chicago for his Ph.D. has had an interesting career. From1897 to 1904 he was a missionary in the African Congo.He returned to Texas to lead a double life as I. associateeditor of "The Christian Courier" and 2. a professor atTexas Christian. Then to Chicago, on to the State University of Iowa staff and back to a faculty position at Chicago where he eventually became Chairman of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, the position heheld when he retired in 1939.12 THE UNIVERSITY O.F CHICAGO MAGAZINEWhen the student feels ready he applies for the qualifying examination, writing some twelve or sixteen hourson successive mornings for a week. This test is on the fourfields chosen. Failure to pass eliminates some, while afeeling of inability to pass deters others from going thatfar. If successful, the student next sets about deciding onhis research problem. All members of the staff are accessible to him and most students go the rounds.Having chosen a problem, the student submits a written statement of what he proposes to do and how heplans to go about it, sends a copy to each member of thesociological faculty who meet and confer. If the statement seems promising, a date is set for an oral sessionwith the whole staff so that the student may show evidence of some knowledge of what has been done alreadyin similar investigations, demonstrate his ability to givea clear-cut statement of his problem, reveal a knowledgeof how the needed facts can be discovered, and also giveevidence of ability to think critically and express himselfintelligably. The thesis problem may be rejected, accepted with reservations, or approved, in which last caseone professor is named as chief adviser and a secondone to act and advise with the other two, although thestudent always feels free to seek counsel from anyone inthe department or out of it.While the dinner gets coldThen begins the work of research. Of all the pleasantand rewarding experiences in academic life, and they aremany, none is to be compared with the close associationbetween a young candidate and his thesis counselor. Manya time has a professor been late for his luncheon or kepthis dinner at home waiting because he was conferringwith a candidate about his problem. Nor was it ever aburden to either. They had meat to eat that you know notof. The suggestion that the freedom of the student isthus limited is so untrue as to approach a slander. Thedelight of the teacher is to witness initiative and originality and the task is to counsel him without teachinghim, to see him solve his problems without unduly influencing him.There comes a day when the successful student hascompleted the writing of his thesis which, submitted intriplicate to the department, is examined by all and readcarefully by most of the staff. At a conference the thesis,if found worthy, is accepted "for purposes of examination," and the final oral examination is arranged for,where further questioning takes place. Some get this farand then fail the final test. If the committee is satisfied,the candidate arranges for the necessary copies to begiven to the university and the degree is conferred at thenext convocation.It will be seen that the program has a highly selectivecharacter. Our normal enrolment is about seventy-fivegraduate students, but the average number of doctor's degrees conferred has been only four for each calendar year,one each quarter. It took us fifty years to reach twohundred. Nor do attacks from outside, however fierce, seem to discourage our students. After the unqualifieddenunciation of our work above referred to, our normalenrolment of seventy-five increased almost one hundredper cent, giving us more than can be well taken care ofwith the present teaching staff. It is to be hoped that noone will abuse us again till we can enlarge the faculty.The accusation of unintelligibility has often been madeagainst the specialist. There is a real need for greatercare in the writing of English on the part of the sociologists, many of whom are so concerned with the matterthat they fail to give due heed to the manner of theirwriting. But the real objection of the critic is directedat the technical terms of any and all science. There isno doubt that these are difficult for the uninstructed tocomprehend, but there is small reason why they shouldneed to understand them. The technical terms are employed within the problem, and the strange words aretools of research and are necessary to thinking. Whatthe bewildered critic of scientific writing fails to realizeis that the end result of the research and any possibleapplication of it can be stated in untechnical languageand is invariably so stated. The intricate mathematicalcomputations which the engineer uses to design the cylinders of an automobile or the wings of an airplane areunintelligible to the non-mathematical, but we can clearlyunderstand that this car uses less gasoline, or that planehas extra speed.Let the publisher be patientTechnical terms obey the laws of language. Their appearance is inevitable. They are created automatically inevery specialized activity on the cattle ranch, in theprint shop, on board ships, in .the astronomical observatory. Some of these sociological words become well-known and common, as "mores," "folkways" and "cultural lag." Most of them remain limited in their use toresearch workers who might wish that all men everywhere knew Greek, higher mathematics, cytology, andnuclear physics but who know that this can never be andare content, since nothing is lost. Let the publisher ofbooks be patient. It is his task to have the book set up intype, printed, bound and advertised. This is a worthywork; let him stick to it. Let him not tell the writer whatto write. If he should presume to dictate what scholarsshould do, we shall be tempted to call him an appropriatename which he might not find intelligible for is not hean ultracrepidarian?Those who find fault with the doctor's degree are notall agreed, but they all appear to oppose the high degreeof specialization which it represents. They look withnostalgic regret back to the good old times when one mancould be an authority on all learning, although close acquaintance with the writings of those worthy men, towhom we owe a great debt, compels the admission thatmuch of what they thought they knew has been provedby modern research to be error. Encyclopedic knowledgemay be the pretense of the dilettante but the modernscientist knows that it is impossible.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 13More and more about lessThe saying that the specialist is a man who "knowsmore and more about less and less" was, perhaps, firstspoken as a witticism. Nevertheless, it is profoundly true.Indeed, it is highly desirable. As science progresses itdivides and subdivides and then divides again. Someadministrators are concerned about the large number ofdepartments in a modern university. One wonders whattheir alarm would be if they knew the real state ofaffairs.There are seven departments in the Social Science Division of the University of Chicago. This would seemto imply that there are seven specialties in that one area.Actually the number of specialized activities is morenearly five times that number. No teacher of history inthe graduate school presumes to be an authority in thewhole field of history, and the same is true of every specialty, botany and physiology, chemistry and psychology,and all the rest.The research student must be a specialist. Only bycloser and closer division of the field of the unknown canwe hope to learn what we seek to know. As PresidentColwell said of the late Professor Votaw, the thesis on"The use of the infinitive in Greek" was a valuable contribution. Compton has given years to cosmic rays. Theresearch man recalls the words of Paul who said: Thisone thing I do.Specialization may be disturbing to book publishersand administrators, but specialization will continue andwill increase; it is an inevitable trend. By intense concentration we may hope to find the answers which the worldso profoundly needs. He who opposes it is fighting againstthe stars.A fair beginningThe morale of the sociologists is high. We are veryyoung and our methods of work are yet to be perfected.We can hardly claim that we are doing a great work butin truth we do have a great work to do. Moreover, wehave made a fair beginning. Our doctors from Chicagodid valuable service in the army at home and abroad, notas fighting men but as sociologists. With their attituderesearches they located potential trouble in large armyunits, determined its extent, and devised corrective measures.Sociologists are to be found using their skills in the Department of Agriculture in Washington, in the CensusBureau, in the Department of State and in the Department of Labor. They are to be found in the penal insti tutions, not as convicts but as specialists, working on suchproblems as parole. They are in industrial organizationsusing their expert knowledge in the field of human relations. Most of our graduates are in academic life, forthe need of competent men to give instruction in sociologyhas not been met.Every college teacher ought to have the Ph.D. degree.This will not insure that he is a good teacher and, ofcourse, he ought to be a good teacher. But however gooda teacher he may be, he needs most of all to know thelimits of his knowledge and to have the invaluable understanding of how knowledge is discovered. This he willlearn if he is worthy of the degree.We need a basic science of human nature. Sociologyseeks to create such a science, in cooperation with allthe other social sciences between which adequate liaisonexists. To create such a science we must seek to learn thepreconditions, all of them, that give rise to human conduct. To learn these things we must be scientific.The research must be objective, disinterested, unbiased,and unemotional. When a delinquent is studied theremust be neither praise nor blame, censure nor excuses,but a search for conditions and causes. Some progresshas been made but much more is demanded. War isindeed immoral but war is usually the work of politiciansand diplomats and their blundering into war is due, inno small degree, to their lack of knowledge of humannature. If our program should some day be carried outand if human nature should be as well known as is pitchblende our troubles would not be at an end for therewould be left the spread of the knowledge and the will toapply it in righteous causes. But the needed knowledgewould be at hand. Typhoid fever is now understood butoutbreaks occur where knowledge is lacking or responsiblemen are negligent.The scientist is a devoted person. He gives his life tothe discovery of new knowledge. He concentrates on histask. He dare not become an agitator, a partisan, or areformer. There are preachers and prophets in plenty;there are publicists and politicians enough. For the scientist to desert his work would be to betray a trust.I repeat that the greatest achievement of Americaneducation is the provision that has been made for thetraining of gifted youths to be doctors of philosophy. Wehave produced many but we need many more. No onewill claim that the world will be saved by its Ph.D.'s butit is not too much to assert that it will not be saved without the work which they are set to do, for it is as truetoday as it was in the long ago when a prophet cried out:My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.In the Next Issue"The Fraternity Situation" by student Richard Philbrick, Alpha Delta Phi"In Line for Promotion", Robert C. Woellner, Director, Board of Vocational Guidance and Placement"The Crowded Reception Room" Valerie Wickhem, Director of AdmissionsNEWS OF THE QUADRANGLES By JEANNETTE LOWREYOvation to HimselfTradition and the unexpected rubbed shoulders whenthe annual University of Chicago Alumni Citations foroutstand service to nation, community, and humanitywere awarded in Mandel Hall.As president of the national Alumni Association,Wrisley B. Oleson, President of the Allen B. WrisleyCompany, presented the citations after suitable biographical sketches were read before the audience.The eleventh biography sounded a little familiar tohim a citation to the director of the Toilet Goods Association which rendered invaluable war service to theUnited States in its fats conservation program, a memberof the Glen Ellyn school board, director of the ClearingIndustrial Association, and life member of the Universityof Chicago Alumni Association.Just to surprise Mr. Oleson, the Alumni Associationhad "neglected" to inform him when they hurriedlyhanded him the citations a few minutes before the ceremony, that the eleventh citation would be his own.Mr. Oleson was astounded. His prepared speech commending each citation recipient seemed a little odd, hethought, delivered to himself.Benton Becomes TrusteeThe United States Assistant Secretary of State,William Benton, has beenelected to the Board ofTrustees at the Universityof Chicago, Harold H.Swift, Chairman of theBoard, has announced.In becoming a TrusteeMr. Benton is serving in hisfourth capacity at the University. He was Vice-president from 1937 to July,1945, when his title waschanged at his request toAssistant to the Chancellor because of his duties as Chairman of the Board of the University-affiliated Encyclopaedia Britannica and as Vice-chairman of the Committee for Economic Development.When he was appointed Assistant Secretary of Statein the summer of 1945, Mr. Benton resigned from theUniversity and from Encyclopaedia Britannica, as wellas from Associated Music Publisher and Muzak, whichhe controlled.As Vice-president of the university, Mr. Benton wasparticularly interested in the development of radio andmotion pictures for educational purposes. He greatly expanded the University of Chicago Round Table radioprogram and initiated a new educational network show,"The Human Adventure." As chairman of the BritannicaBoard, he acquired Erpi Classroom Films and merged itwith Eastman Kodak's Classroom Films, a gift to theUniversity of Chicago, to form Encyclopaedia BritannicaFilms, Inc.Bach LineA familiar European scene was reenacted in RockefellerMemorial Chapel last month when Chicagoans, as wellas folk from as far away as Minneapolis, came to hearMarcel Dupre, world renowned French organist, play themusic of Johann Sebastian Bach.Albert Goldberg, Chicago Tribune music critic, saidof the 3,000 persons who crowded the chapel its pews,aisles, chancel, lectern, and green lawn that the uninformed observer might have thought nylons were beingdispensed.Monsieur Dupre looked upon the scene, and tears cameinto his eyes. He was reminded of a similar occasionsome years ago when he went to a little French town nearthe Spanish borderline to play the organ. People, carrying chairs, crowded the road. Was it a mass moving day?He couldn't believe that a whole town had come to hearhim play. The little church was packed and the churchyard filled. He was asked to "please play loudly thatall might hear."His first of six concerts to be played at the Universitywas an all-Bach program including the most famous andextended of the major organ works of the old master Prelude and Fugue in A minor, Prelude and Fugue in Dmajor, Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor, Fantasy andFugue in G minor, Toccata, Adagio and Fugue in Cmajor, and Toccata and Fugue in D minor."The performance," Mr. Goldberg said, "was in essentials no less heroic than the undertaking. His aim,apparently, was to constantly preserve the architecturalgrandeur of the music and in spite of the resources ofthe modern organ, to present it in sound as nearly likethat of the baroque instrument for which it was written.One heard the music much as the congregation of St.Thomas' in old Leipzig must have heard it, in all itsmassive, unadorned, imposing splendor."Two other Wednesday evening recitals were also devoted to Bach. Works from the Clavierubung, one ofthe few collections of Bach's music published during thecomposer's lifetime, was featured during the second recital. Monsieur Dupre's concert, with the harpischordselections of the Clavierubung, played in Mandel Hallby Ralph Kirkpatrick, was the first complete Americanpresentation of this great collection of keyboard music.It would have taken seven other recitals for Monsieur14THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 15Dupre, organist of the church of St. Sulpice, to completea full recital of Bach, all of which he has memorized.Monsieur Dupre presented Cesar Franck's music inhis third concert and his own compositions PassionSymphony, Prelude and Fugue, G minor, a Suite and asymphonic poem, "Evocation" in the fifth. -A treat and surprise for music lovers will follow theplanned series. As an added attraction, Monsieur Dupresuggested a sixth recital this time improvised themessuggested by musicians and presented to him in a sealedenvelope the night of the concert. The theme for fivechoral preludes on a hymn will be contributed by Vice-president and Mrs. Emery T. Filbey.In presenting the recitals at the University this summer, Monsieur Dupre was fulfilling his plans of 1940.The war necessitated his postponing his concerts andmaster classes, which were to have been highlights of theUniversity's 50th anniversary.Half of the pupils who registered for the master classesduring the golden anniversary days of the University ofChicago came back this summer to take the lessons theyhad postponed six years ago. Thirty-six of the nation'sfinest organists, including a weekly commuter from Pittsburgh, are now taking lessons from the master and listening to his lectures on registration and interpretation.Framing a World ConstitutionOrganization of a Committee to Frame a World Constitution, whose purpose is to develop a blueprint for aworld government, was announced July 18. The Committee, centered at the University of Chicago, was initiated last September and has been actively working sinceNovember, the announcement said.Although acting on the principle that a world state isnecessary, and therefore is possible, the Committee isnot concerned with creating opinion in favor of a worldgovernment. The Committee believes that the possibilityof achieving a world government can best be determinedby framing a constitution which presents for considerationand discussion the specific principles and mechanism ofa world state.The Committee includes several members of the Uni-veristy of Chicago. Chancellor Robert M. Hutchins ispresident; Richard P. McKeon, Dean of the HumanitiesDivision, is chairman ; and G. A. Borgese, professor in theDivision of Humanities, who also has had special appointments in political science is secretary.Robert Redfield, Dean of the Division of the SocialSciences; Wilber G. Katz, Dean of the Law School; Mortimer Adler, professor of the philosophy of law; R. G.Tugwell, professor of political science, are other University of Chicago members.Charles H. Mcllwain, professor emeritus of the Scienceof Government at Harvard; Albert Guerard, professor inthe humanities, Stanford University Erich Kahler, of theNew School for Social Research, New York; James Mc-Cauley Landis, former dean of the Harvard Law School; Stringfellow Barr, president of St. John's College; HaroldInnis, head of the department of political economy, University of Toronto, are the other members at present. Asmall number of new members are expected to join, according to the announcement.Seven meetings of the Committee have been held inChicago and New York between November and the endof June. Monthly meetings are scheduled hereafter the eighth and ninth in New York, July 19 and 20 andAugust 16 and 17 until the draft of the constitution iscompleted, a task which is expected to require anotheryear.Complete reports of the meetings, and some seventy"world federalist papers" by individual members or associate research workers are on file in the library of theCommittee in its office at 975 E. 60th street, Chicago.The Committee plans to begin publication of a bulletinthis autumn, and also intends to organize an advisorycouncil of approximately 50 members, which will be invited for a first convention in the fall, when the firstyear's work of the Committee has been completed and thebasic issues can be presented for discussion.In his annual speech at the trustees' dinner for thefaculty of the university, January 9, Chancellor Hutchinsgave the first indication of the Committee. "It is notsuggested," he said, "that the constitution drafted mightbe instantly adopted; it would probably be a calamity ifany constitution drafted now were to be adopted. Butsince we must work toward world government or perish,we ought at once to begin trying to find out what kindof world government we ought to work toward."Kimpton New Vice-presidentThe election of Lawrence A. Kimpton, Dean of Students, an Vice-president of the University to succeedReuben G. Gustavson, who resigned to head the University of Nebraska, was announced this month by Chancellor Robert M. Hutchins.Along with the appointment of Vice-president Kimpton, Chancellor Hutchins also announced four other newstaff members. They were: Robert M. Strozier, Associate Director of International House as D'ean of Students;Marshall Harvey Stone, Chairman of the Department ofMathematics at Harvard University, as DistinguishedService Professor of Mathematics; Dr. Lowell T. Cogge-shall, Chairman of the Department of Tropical Diseasesat the University of Michigan as Professor of Medicineand Chairman of the Department of Medicine; andWalter N.

Henry Calvert SimonsThe death of Henry Calvert Simons, Professor ofEconomics at the University, at Albert Merritt BillingsHospital June 19, was a heavy blow to the professionof economics and to the cause of economic freedom.One of the great intellects of this generation in thefield of social sciences, Prof. Simon was profoundly interested in discovering rules of action and structural socialarrangements which would possess political feasibility inthe more far-reaching and fundamental sense of promoting the "good society"- a society in which materialwell-being would be high, but of much greater importance, a liberal society, a society of free and rationalhuman beings.His proposals on economic policy were invariablythought out with great care, and were based upon ameticulously explicit and mature political philosophy.He was a nineteenth-century liberal, but since the word"liberal" has in recent years come to be used in a quitedifferent sense he preferred the word "libertarian."He was concerned lest society resort to a degree ofpersonal, discretionary, arbitrary rule by authorities tosuch an extent as seriously to restrict individual freedom.He believed that a democratic state could be maintainedonly if government were in conformity with known,definite, impersonal rules of law which grew out of theunderstanding approval of the public.The chief elements of his program for public policywere the maintenance of genuinely competitive marketsand adherence to an announced policy of stabilizingmonetary conditions, as reflected in a price-level indexby means of monetary-fiscal measures.His numerous writings, including The Requisites ofFree Competition, Economic Stability and Anti-TrustPolicy, Money, Tariffs and the Peace, are rigorous andcognent in presentation. His published articles completea coherent program, with one exception, despite the factthat he wrote no general treatise on public policy. Fortunately, the one gap left by his published writings is filledby an unpublished manuscript which presents his politicalphilosophy. This may be a book of essays in the not toodistant future.Undergraduate Teachers HonoredThree one-thousand dollar prizes, awarded annuallyat the University for excellence in undergraduate teaching, were presented on June 13 by Chancellor RobertM.

Few,if any, of these films can beseen in the regular commercialtheaters. Kimiko, the first Japanese film to be shown in thiscountry was given a returnshowing. Shors and Turksibwere two famous Soviet filmswhich do much to explain thephilosophy underlying the Russian people and their struggletowards freedom and technological equality. Wedding ofPalo was a documentary in the Eskimo language, madeby the famous Norwegian explorer, Knud Rasmussen.French films, as usual, were in demand by students ofthe language as well as others. Bizarre Bizarre, Dr.Knock, both starring Louis Jouvet; The Puritan; andothers were presented.The Little Theater in the Reynolds Club, tried in theFall Quarter, proved too small and interfered with therehearsal of dramatic productions, and the Group thenmoved to Social Science 122 for the balance of the year.

The three faculty members fromthe Music Department had the training and provided theanswer: Delta Upsilon. Charlton Beck, who was brieflymemorialized in the afternoon Assembly, would have enjoyed being present to witness his fraternity receiving thequality cup.The Alumni GiftHow to report the Alumni Gift has always been a problem which the conscientious Alumni Foundation Boardhas never quite solved to its satisfaction until this year.Many alumni gifts, doubtless influenced by the pro-BASEBALL TEAMFive members of the 1896 Western Champion Baseballteam celebrated their fiftieth anniversary during Reunionweekend. Thursday they were the luncheon guests of ScottBrown at the University Club and at Wrigley Field for theCubs-Giants game. In the evening they were honoredguests at the C Banquet.
