Chamberlin (see News ofthe Quadrangles) reminds us of astory told on Rollin's father andvouched for by the son.When Dr. Witliam Rainey Harperbecame the University's first presi­dent, he persuaded President ThomasC. Chamberlin of the University ofWisconsin to become head of ourDepartment .of Geology.One night, on his way home fromWalker Museum, Dr. Chamberlin1 PADwas bumped into by a suspicious char­acter. Conscious of Chicago's criminalrecord, the professor felt for hiswatch. It was gone!Quickly overtaking the stranger,the bearded professor whirled theman about, pulled himself to his fullsix-foot stature and, waving his cane,threateningly overhead, demanded,"Give me that watch!" The thor­oughly frightened man fumbled in hispocket, produced the watch, and dis­appeared in a cloud of darkness.Later that evening Mrs. Chamber­lin remarked : "You forgot yourwatch today, dear. I found it on thedresser after you left."The following morning a meek,redfaced Professor of Geology deliv­ered a watch and a box of cigars tothe Hyde Park police station. But the'stranger, fearing gangster retaliation,never reported the "crime" nor re­trieved the time piece.T. C.

For fast upDnthe heels of his edition of White's lettersnow comes this excellently written and fas­cinating biography. The saga of the Kansasboy who grew into a wise and toierantnational leader while always �irml1y rootedin his native soil, is one that America 11youth, which is sometimes tempted to he­lieve that the larger life can only be ledin the attics of Greenwich Vi:11age or amongthe brown hilts of California, needs totake to heart. White's life, as Walter John­son shows, made manifest some of thepossibilities for gracious, humane and use­ful living which small-town America af­fords. But White was also always conscioustha t there was another side to small- townlife, as indeed to all life, which SinclairLewis had acidly sketched in Main Street.How then did White, whose thoughtswoe ahead of his time, escape the fate ofCarol Kennicestz The answer is an inter­esting one. White, through his skin as awriter, was able to earn enough moneythrough magazine articles and books toexpand his newspaper business and lay asound economic foundation for his career.His fame as a writer and as an intimatefriend of the great, gave his local prestigeso that the people of Emporia came torecognize that he was its chief claim torenown and to tolerate him when he dif­fered fro!'ll their ,group beliefs,Moreover, White, as Johnson makesabundantly dear, was careful never toviolate any of the fundamental potrucaltaboos of his environment. He m�ght de­nounce the monopolies wbich he thoughtwere controlling the Republican party; hemight even praise the Democratic presi­dents, Wilson and Roosevelt, and betweenelections -work for their policies; but healways returned to the Republican- foldsix months before election time and wouldlabor to nominate his candidates in theprimary, and in any event, would beat thedrums for the straight ucket in the fall.Twice, it is true, he broke away. He wasa Butl-Mooser in 1912, and he ran as anindependent for governor· of Kansas in1924. But he was always careful never tolose his standing by becoming a Demo­crat. In this way he kept in touch withthe Kansas and American middle class andwas able to liberalize their thinking andto humanize their attitudes.White was a lovable and talented manof goodwill, if not a flaming heroic spirit.His editorials on the death of his daughter,Mary White, and To An Anxious Friend(both of which Johnson reprints in full)are, in my judgment, two of the most mov­ing expressions of restrained parental sor­row and of the case £0'1:' freedom of speech, which have ever been wr itten.

UNIVERSITIESCollege spiritmust give wayto common goodTHE N. EED for cooperation between nation: todayis obvious to all. This need has been emphasized bythe universities. Professors and presidents alike pleadfrequently and forcefully for increased international co­operation. Although the desire to avert the third andlast world war adds urgency to their pleas, it is not theirsole concern. They ask the nations to cooperate effec­tively also in the advancement of science, in the sharingof cultural resources, and in improving economic oppor-tunities for the peoples 'of the world..If the nations could reply to this appeal from the urn­versities, would they not fling at us the jeering admoni­tion, "Physician, heal thyself!"? Competition and notc�operation has characterized the relations of Americanuniversities to each other in the last fifty years. Someof this competition has been healthy, but much of it isunintelligent and wasteful. Moreover, in the flurry ofthis competition the universities have often acted asthough the support of a particular institution were anend in itself.Can the universities, then, claim that they have co­Operated effectively in the advancement of science, inthe sharing of cultural resources, and in improving eco­nomic opportunities for the peoples of the world? Theneed for cooperation between universities is now anUrgent one. The time has passed when a university cansucceed in being all things to all students. Neither thetax-SUpported university nor the so called "private" in­stitution can carryon graduate studies in every subject,This can be seen most clearly in the study of such vastareas of the world as the Near East, Southeastern Asia,Micronesia, North Africa, etc. No single university canprovide adequate opportunities for instruction and re­search in these areas or regional studies. The currentdemand for these studies (legitimate as it is) cannot be�et on fifty campuses at the same time. To utilize ourhruited faculty resources for the good of the nation willrequire cooperative planning by the universities. Theuniversities must plan a distribution - of areas to insti­tUtions; they must correlate programs in different schools;and make it possible for the graduate student to movefrom one school to another and back again as in eachCase may be profitable to the student. It is often betterto move students than to move professors.The limited ability of the individual school can beseen also in the natural sciences. No single universitycan hope to establish significant research programs in • By ERNEST CADMAN COLWELL, Ph.D. '30all of the natural sciences. This is due to the rapidmultiplication of sciences, to the equally rapid multipli­cation of universities, to the relatively slow production ofdistinguished scientists, and to the rapid increase in thecost of the annual upkeep of the research scientist. Thedecision as to limitation, if it is to be made in the na­tional interest, must be made cooperatively.Again the task of developing effectively the researchlibrary of the great university surpasses the ability ofuniversities working as single institutions. The older andwealthier the university is, the clearer this becomes.Libraries grow as fast and as irresistibly as cemeteries. Agroup of universities can by cooperative effort halt thecontinuous expansion of library facilities, and yet increasethe library resources available to each member of thegroup.Without cooperation we shall inevitably reduce the.quality of university and professional education in thiscountry. Two habits of the past generation carry thesethreats to the future. The first is the habit of makinga university out of every educational institution abovehigh school. The second is the habit of developing auniversity in every geographical and political unit ofthis country. Today each state feels that it must haveits own university-full panoplied with professional andgraduate schools. If it is a long, thin state, it has to haveat least two universities. Tomorrow every county willfeel naked unless it is adorned with a university. Thustoday in thinly-populated and poorly-endowed states, thestate university offers the citizen only a reasonable fac­simile of that university whose reality could be obtainedby cooperative action that crossed state lines where pos­sible.Effeotive cooperation between universities is a possi­bility. Enough has been accomplished already to answerthe doubter and to stimulate the slothful. The Universityof Texas builds a telescope but has no astronomers toman it.

That attitude as- sumes as an axiom the superlative quality of all of AlmaMater's features. Alma Mater is the best college in theworld; her professors in an subjects are the best in anycollege in the world; her athletes are invincible and thebeauty of her co-eds is unsurpassed.This cult could be tolerated as a whim of adolescencewere it not that students become alumni and trustees.The narrow loyalty of a school spirit becomes the baseupon which individual schools build top-heavy towers ofcompetition. If Utah can have a medical school, whynot Nevada?

October 1, 1892Preceded by weekly barrages of postal cards and letters(one a perfumed "Darling: . . ." note signed "You knowwho" which repor-tedly caused some strained breakfasthours in some '22 family circles!), the June reunion ofthe Class of '22 had a record attendance of over twohundred.Sparked by the Al twins (Allen Holloway and AlfredBrickman) who were in charge of reunion plans, the pro­gram was the most informally elaborate in recent reunionhistory.The four-page Class of '22 Maroon) edited by RobertCollins (Chicago) and published by Herbert Rubel inhis New Jersey newspaper plant, had the zip of the 1922Daily Maroon which was edited by Herb.Among the interesting items in the '22 Maroon was atable totaling Big Ten. championships before the confer­°ence became the Big Nine: Football, 7; Basketball, 7;Baseball, 5; Track, 6; Swimming, 8; Golf, 8; Fencing, 11;Gymnastics, 13; and Tennis, 30.The most provocative column was an editorial, "TheHuman Touch," which was picked up by the metropoli­tan press. The editorial commented: "Today nobody will deny that the University of Chi­cago is run with efficiency, from a blue-printed masterplan. It even achieves slick-magazine attention ....But, demonstrably, something is missing. And we won­der if it isn't that genuine interest in and affection foryoung people-the human touch that once prevailed .... "Admittedly a pre-reunion minority opinion, there weremany at the reunion who agreed that the class mightwell underwrite a study to determine the facts and sug­gest remedies if the editorial proved correct.Taking their cue from classmate John Gunther's latestbest seller, Inside U.S.A., the program committee stagedan "Inside U.S.A." which brought down the house. Itwas a stereopticon program with senior pictures from the1922 Cap and Gown. The clever commentator was Vir­ginia Kendall Upham.Among the notables present was Illinois GovernorGreen, JD'22. Three of the class members receivedAlumni Citations the following day at the Alumni As­sembly (see story elsewhere in this issue).Said the Class of '22 Maroon in a banner across thebottom of the back page: "Be sure to have your childrenwheel you back. to the campus for the 50th reunion."7TENTH REUNIONOlder andwiser?IT was ten years ago that the hopeful men and womenof '37 paraded through the Chapel chancel to re­ceive pieces of parchment from the hand of RobertMaynard Hutchins. The day was warm and I recall thatwe perspired freely. I also remember being somewhat in­spired, by some words of Mr. Hutchins, though I havelong since forgotten what they were. It was a great day­a day of great relief. It was nice to know that at last Iwas an educated man.Nevertheless, I suspected that a fraud had. been per­petrated upon the University, and my suspicion W'l-S con­firmed when Mr. Hutchins winked as he handed me thediploma. It was not simply all those classes I had cut, northe "indispensable" readings I had dispensed with, northe Circle parking tickets I had torn up, nor the occasionalschneckens I schnuck from the University bakery. No,it was something far deeper: I had just the slightest doubtthat perhaps I really did not know what life was all about-that despite Philosophy 201 I had no philiosophy, thatdespite the Physical Sciences isurvey I couldn't even. fix acarburetor, that despite "Bisigh" I wasn't exactly surewhat it meant to father a child, that despite Art 101 Ididn't even know what I liked. Furthermore, there wasthe fact that no personnel directors were exactly clamor­ing to offer me a job.This suspicion grew during the summer months. Oneof my fraternity brothers went straight to work for J. P.Morgan; another seemed set in the Oldsmobile business;others had no trouble at all beginning as bank execu­tives. Whereas I-well, it will take another paragraphto say what happened to me.A matter of months later I found a job as office boyat $20.00 a week in New York. I took the job not becauseof any Alger-like desire to begin at the bottom, but be­cause it was the only job I could get. My employer wasa large publishing firm which shall go nameless, but aslight clue is provided by the fact that I reported forwork in the mail room of the Time & Life building.I had always longed for the busy world of publishing�somehow there must be a new challenge to' the imagina­tion with each passing hour. There was. At nine o'clockas I reported for work there was the first big bag of mail.At ten there, was another delivery, followed I by one ateleven-and so on. And there I was, rubbing shoulderswith bigshot writers, editors, photographers and publish­ers every day-in the elevator.One day my boss, a middle-aged fatherly gentlemanwho loved to follow the sex crimes in the tabloids andsaid he was a "retired publisher," tapped me on the .• By JOHN G. MORRIS - 137shoulder and asked me if I could type. This must bethe Big Break. Heart in mouth, I went straight to theTime editorial floor and started rapping out words-onthe teletype. But at least I was now in a position wheremy influence would be felt in print-if I misspelled aword or loused up the copy.Now development followed development. The corpo­ration, ever expanding, was going through a reorganiza­tion. One of the bright young executives needed a brightyounger assistant. I was it. For three weeks I sorted hispress clippings. Then came a Monday morning when 1reported for work and found my desk gone and a newpartition in its place. I went to look for my boss butcouldn't find him. I began a systematic inquiry, workingthrough channels. My boss? He was now an advertisingsalesman. My job? Back pounding the teletype. Sic,transit gloria, as Mortimer Adler used to say.It was about this time that I had to get married. I sayhad not for the usual reason but because my fiancye(Quadrangler, '39) had by this time also attained anA.B. And since she had never planned on any career butmarriage, she wanted to get on with it. Besides, to beutterly fair, I too wanted to get married. Nevertheless ,her parents were somewhat skeptical of my ability toprovide her with good groceries on $30.00 a week. (Ifthey can't raise you they fire you.)Their skepticism would have been thoroughly justifiedhad they known what we knew two weeks after we weremarried-that we were going to have· a baby. We pre­tended to be chagrined that the wonders of moder�science had let us down. Secretly we were quite pleasedwith ourselves.Along with the baby came the Selective Service Act.I mention the two together since it was because of theformer that I was not immediately affected by the latter.However, Selective Service caused me to do some tallthinking, for as an undergraduate at the University, whensuch things seemed simple, I had decided that I Wasagainst war. This was partly in resentment at having beenhijacked as a Freshman into a course called "Hippologyand Equitation," only to find that it was really R.O.T.C.But it was also because as a Junior my fraternity brothers(a rather effete lot) were all talking in terms of rightand wrong. To me it was obvious that war was wrong,since it didn't seem very right."The depression was a continuing reality when John Morriswalked from the Midway into a twenty-dollar-a-week worldwith few ta'kers even at that price. Today he is an asso­ciate editor of The Ladies Home Journal. As his classprepared to celebrate its tenth anniversary, we asked Johnfor his personal story of the first ten years. Too late forthe crowded June issue, it is stilll good reading in October.oTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEAt any rate, I finally registered as a Conscientious Ob­[ector, but left a loophole stating that I would be glad toassist in case of attack. The consequences of this are alittle obvious now, but I will come to that later.Meanwhile the growing manpower shortage enabledme to climb the editorial ladder. I was now a minor com­ponent of "America's most potent editorial force." Everynow and then I could recognize a sentence or at least anadjective of mine in print. I observed at first hand thelives of the great and glamorous. I went into the factoriesand the fields to see the "growing might that is America."I bumped along in a jeep on maneuvers after GeneralPatton, and talked to him about von Clausewitz. I heldin my hand a jagged fragment of Japanese shell, fired bya submarine north of Santa Barbara, and my hand wasseen from coast to coast.It was all very exciting, but also very depressing. It wasin California that I first saw a major skirmish betweenthe forces of emotion and the forces of reason, with theforces of emotion sweeping the field. The case in pointwas the removal of almost one hundred thousand people,almost two-thirds of them American citizens, from theirhomes along the Pacific to detention camps east of the'(Sierras, for no particularly good reason except to satisfythe jingoistic oratory of politicians and press. As a jour­nalist, I was acutely conscious of the part my own pro­fession played in this hypocrisy, and found there was lit­tle I could do about it. I discovered what it meant tohave your words turned against you.La ter I was to see skirmishes of more than words.I went to London as a War Correspondent in 1943, tohead the bureau there for Life. I have known all varietiesof War Correspondent, from humble heroes like ErniePyle to press parasites who simply went along for a ride­knowing that a War Correspondent can ride better thana General if he wants to. Suffice it to say that I was some­where in between. My job was largely a swivel chair 9job, but there was a fair chance that the swivel chairwould blow down the hall, and me with it.I found to my surprise a few good things about thewar. The foremost was a sense of trust. We trusted every­one behind our lines to be friends (by lines I mean theconcentric circles that surrounded Germany) and wetrusted everyone in front of those lines to be enemies.I t was so simple. I remember once when our jeep turneda comer in one of the small ports of Brittany, trying tomake Mont St. Michel by nightfall. A couple of GI'swho were standing there waved casually and said, "Whered'ya think yer goin'?" . We told them. "Okay mac, but ifyou go that way you'll be going straight through theGerman lines." Simply a matter of turning left or right.Now we trust no one. And unfortunately that goesamong the Class of '37 as much as it does among almostany other group which is not organized along the linesof immediate self-interest. Almost every week I see oneof my fellow classmates of '37 who lives nearby, as weget on or off a commuting train together. We are friendlyin a superficial way, but there are certain subjects which. we never discuss. Weare not really friends but we do notwan t to become enemies.Much as we of 1937 were shaped by the unity of timeand place, much as we studied the same general courses,were exposed to the same newspapers and the events theyreported, shared the same enthusiasm for Berwangerand Benny Goodman, we do not really trust each other.We have scattered over the earth, already leaving hereand there a quiet headstone. We have sought success inseparate ways, and some have attained it in fair measure.Weare bringing up a new generation in the diverse ways'Of the old-and incredibly that means us.Yes, the only sure thing we can say is that we are tenyears older. It would be nice" but wishful, to say thatwe are also ten years wiser.ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPTS FROMTHE RICKETTS COLLECTIONTHE Art Department and the Renaissance Societywere very fortunate in having the privilege of ex­. hibiting, during most of the month of March, aselection of the finest specimens of manuscript illumina­tion contained in the C. Lindsay Ricketts Collection. Thisis not the first time many of these manuscripts havevisited the campus; a similar exhibition was sponsoredby the Renaissance Society in January, 1930 [MAGAZINE,February, 1930] and then, as now, roused so much inter­est that it was twice extended beyond the original closingdate. • By MARGARET RICKERT. A.M. 1331 Ph.D. 138The Ricketts Collection, consisting of both originalmanuscript books and fragments, and of copies madefrom pages in other fine manuscripts in European col­lections by Mr. Ricketts and his assistants in the earlyyears of the century, deserves to be even better knownthan it is in Chicago and the Middle West. It is the onlycollection of its kind and quality in this part of the UnitedStates. There are, of course, larger collections of illumi­nated manuscripts in the East: at the Pierpont MorganLibrary in New York and the Walters Gallery in Balti­more; and in California, in the Huntington Library at10 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE,A. miniefure from one of the English Bible leaves of 1350 in theRicketts Collection. It represents the prophet Baruch writing theapocryphal Old Testament book which bears his name and whichformed part of the Vulgate Bible.San Marino. However, the quality of the best of theRicketts manuscripts is not. surpassed in any of these,and the number of outstandingly fine specimens of writ­ing, decoration, and miniatures in proportion. to the sizeof the' collection is exceptional.At the opening of the exhibition in 1930, Mr. Rickettswas present and talked fascinatingly about his experiencesboth as a scribe and illuminator, and as a collector. Sincehis death, his son-in-law, Jasper S. King, '20, has beencarrying on and directing the work of the Scriptoriumfounded by Mr. Ricketts.Twice during the present exhibition Mr. King spokeinterestingly and understandingly of Mr. Ricketts' ideasand plans about the collection and the wort. of the Scrip­torium, which was represented in the exhibition by awell-chosen group of examples of various styles used inmodern illumination.Mrs. Julia Ricketts King, '18, who like her father,studied the art of illuminating and is herself a' skilledilluminator, generously contributed, as opportunity aroseduring her visits to the galleries, many personal items ofinterest concerning her father's 'lifelong devotion tobeautiful books and his tireless pursuit of informationabout mediaeval practices and materials used in theirmaking.Interest in mediaeval manuscripts at the University isno new thing. From time to time during the decadespreceding �he last war, manuscripts of various kinds have'foulld their way by gift or purchase into our own library.Some of these can be related in specific' ways to items inthe Ricketts Collection.There is, for instance" the McCormick manuscript ofChaucer's Canterbury Tales, bought by the Universityin 193'0. ,This fifteenth. century manuscript is decoratedonly with the usual pen work' of the period and therefore furnishes by its illumination little evidence of date, assome other Chaucer manuscripts do by their miniaturesdecorative initials and borders. 'In the Ricketts Collection, however, there are four fif­teenth century English manuscripts and one late four­teenth century one (psalters and prayer books, one ofthem written in English) very similar in style of decora­tion to the earlier and best illuminated Chaucers. Thetiny fifteenth century Psalter in English in the RickettsCollection can almost certainly be dated in 1425 andthus furnishes a very nice bit of additional evidencefor the dating of two groups of the Chaucers, since instyle, of decoration it stands midway between them.The illuminated chronicle of Wigmore Priory in theUniversity library, moreover, furnishes a link betweenthe Ricketts 1a te fourteenth century Psalter and theearliest Chaucer group.These instances give only a hint of the wealth ofinteresting pictorial and textual material practically un­explored in the Ricketts Collection. Other manuscriptsthat promise well for a careful investigation of theirstyle of illumination are two exceptionally fine, fullyillustrated French fifteen century Books of Hours, oneof which has a Sarum calendar and was almost certainlY,therefore, made, for use in England. Some single leavesfro� an English Bible of about 1350 [see illustration]furn�sh, by. their .decoration, important evidence sup­porting the increasingly acceptable theory that the amaz­ingly East Anglian style of illumination which flourishedin the late thirteen and early fourteenth century was notwiped out by the Black Death but continued to dom­inate English work even as late as the end of the four­teenth century and beyond, as indeed is also seen in theLytlirigton Missal made at Westminster in the 1380's andby the Ellesmere Chaucer which in many ways resemblesit closely.Apart from the English and French Psalters and Hoursthere are many other illuminated manuscripts of finequality and great interest in the Ricketts Collection. SUchare a large mid-fourteenth century antiphonal with animpressive seventeenth century binding and with manyminiatures in the Franco-Italianstyle, painted, apparent­ly, in the south of France; and an equally fine Italianantiphonal of about the same date in a similar binding,with magnificent miniatures painted in the Bolognesestyle. The Lindau Psalter (twelfth century German) was. �x.h�bited at �he Univer�ity in 1930 and the interestinginitial on Folio 1, showmg a scribe at his writing desk,watched over by an angel and a devil was reproduced inthe UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE at that time.Apart from the sheer pleasure given by the beauty and. brilliance of the manuscripts, it was evident that theexhibition opened up to many a new world of art.Dr. Margaret Rickert did h'er undergraduate work at Grin­nell, specialized in medieval ar+, spent many years inEurope, Ij,v'ing in Italy four years, and is now on the facultyof the Art Department.HARLEY FARNSWORTH MACNAIRH a r ley FarnsworthMacNair, Professor "'ofFar Eastern History andInstitutions, author andeditor of more than 15books and monographs;and former instructorin St. Johns Universityin Shanghai, who died athis "house of the Wu­Tung trees" on Wood­lawn avenue June 22,fashioned his own monu­ment.His memory is cutH F M N". d . ,ac :airmore deeply in the mm s '. .and hearts of his students than the finest Chmesc etchingsof which he was so fond.

William T.Hutchinson, Chairman of the History Department, spokeof him as a colleague; Herrlee G. Creel, Professor ofEarly Chinese Literature, described him in the role ofscholar; and Donald F. Lach of Elmira College, as teacherand friend.Mr. Hutchinson said: . "The full meaning of nearlytwenty years of association with MacNair as an officeneighbor is remembered as a mosaic of countless little i�­cidents ... listening to him question in doctoral exarm­nations, exchanging banter with him while waiting forthe unpredictable elevator in Harper, enjoying his fre­quent interchanges of wit with �very Craven, v:hen theystopped cultivating their respective gardens of hlsto�y a�dleaned on their common boundary fence, and being IIIhis company on an occasional evening when he let him-self go in talk-probably about China.."His office hour was an hour only in name, for timewas left behind when a colleague or student entered thedoor. Seated behind his heavy carved desk and wearingas always a white shirt with four-in-hand tie, he used aquestion of business as the starting point of a meanderingconversational journey leading to a terminal- opinionupon the matter at hand.,"His letters needed no signature even when typewrit­ten. Only he could have written them-ironic, discur­sive, sprinkled with touches of whimsically and elfish witwhich marked them as his and no others."One letter typifies his usual philosophic vein. Itwas written during the war when he was being urged toaccept a state department assignment in Washington, andat the same time was being pressed on grounds, equallypatriotic, to assist in the campus program of the Provost Marshall's School for Administators of Occupied Areasin Japan. He wrote to Washington as follows:'Having, during the past thirty years, been acquainted with aconsiderable number of persons, male and female, who (alone)considered their services indispensable to. the (assu�ed) con­tinued .progress of the universe, I entertain no dh!SlOnS of myown indispensability, either here or elsewhere.

(Y�u shouldn't aSk. me .to admit t�atthere are others who 'can do It even better-accordmgly I reservejlldgment as to that.' "Of MacNair's life as a scholar, Prof. Creel said: "Hiswere not volumes put together in haste to satisfy thetechnical requirements of a professional career. Theywere written to fill a gap in the existing materials, andto meet a felt need on the parts of students andscholars."While MacNair explicitly scorned to be a propagand­ist, neither had he any wish to be a mere dweller in anivory tower. More than twenty-years ago he wrote:'U America's past has chiefly to do with Europe, herfuture must have even more largely to do with Asia.'"A Chinese reviewer lamenting the difficulty ofChinese politics, even for one living amid the events,said, 'The analysis of China in Revolution by ProfessorMacNair will go a long way in assisting those interestedin China to a dear understanding of modern move­ments.'"It could scarcely have been expected," Prof. Creeloontinued "that one who all his life worked in a fieldso controverslal could forever avoid becoming involvedin disagreement. MacNair, with: his book Far EasternInternational Relations, written in 1928 when emotionsand national feelings were running high, had the uniquedistinction of having the first work of a foreigner everto come under the official ban in China."Nothing of bitterness is observable in his writingsafter this event. .Critics continued to praise his fairness.And he himself wrote in 1938 that Chinese .civilization'may, like that of the West, be termed a world civiliza­tion' and that Ohinese culture might be called, 'a typeas refined as the world has yet produced.' "His student, Lach, said: "We called him the boss,not because we feared him, but because we respected thebreadth of his intelligence and the extent, of_ his infor­mation. We had an esprit de corps that comes fromworking with a good man."Cremation services were held for Prof. MacNair onJune 27, and the ashes were sent to Forest Hills Ceme­tery in Jamaica Plains, Boston. The ashes were placed Iin the Wheelock lot, Althea path, next to those of hiswife, Mrs. Florence Wheelock Ayscough MacNair, whodied in 1942.---c- JEANNETTE LOWREY11ONE MAN'S OPINIONA' NYONE who has been around the Midway, man,boy, for most of the past thirty years, inevitablyreflects now and then on the differences between1916 and 1947. There are great changes, and they arenot only the modifications of time and size. There alsoare intangible differences of tempo and spirit, whichare the hardest to distinguish.In 191,6 the University was only twenty-five years old,but it had already the appearance and the reputationof long existence. The red roofs glinted more brightly inthe sun and the walls were whiter than they are todayafter another quarter-century of Chicago soot. It had,compared to the state institutions which now dwarf itin numbers, one of the larger student populations of theworld. It was impenetrably quiet and serene, with aleisurely pace; even the repercussions of the war inEurope seemed hardly perceptible. The shock of Carle­ton's football victory was greater to the undergraduatesthan the advance of the Kaiser's army on Paris.The war itself had little direct effect on the Uni­versity. Its backwash did .not hit until 1929. From thearmistice until the stock market fell apart, the Universityclimbed steadily in enrolment; it added some $25,000,000in buildings, apart from increase in endowment. In thegolden days of 1926-28, gifts came in very large slices,sometimes after a pleasant afternoon on a golf course.By and large the University continued through 1929as it had gone since 1892. Some of the stuffier regula­tions, inherited in direct line from Victorian manners,were allowed to lapse, and it was no longer a dismiss­able offense for a woman student to be caught smokinga cigarette. But that kind of change had no significance.Though the 'survivors of the first great faculty were be­coming objects of respectful interest, and even some ofthe second generation were dropping out, the Univer­sity's research and teaching were largely on an individual­ized basis, with the personalities and ideas of famousmen dominating their departments.There were, however, the beginnings of some realchanges, the meaning of which was scarcely understood.The new Medical School, first planned in 1916, but notin operation until 1927, had revolutionary implications.Though the impetus for it came from the RockefellerF oundation, the basic idea had been inherent in theUniversity from the time that Dr. Harper first wrote hisoutline of organization in a little notebook while trav:el­ing to New York. That was the scheme of tying the basicand clinical sciences together in a close cooperative effort.To say that the University was serene from 1892 to1930 is merely another way of saying the country wastranquil and comfortable. When change and stress hitthe United States, the University rocked, too. The na­tion will never again know the good old days, nor will • By WILLIAM V. MO:RGENSTERN. 120. J.D. 122the University. In good part, the University's develop-'ments in science, culminating in its leading role in therelease 01 nuclear energy, contributed heavily to the tenseand hectic time which we know.When the depression closed in, the necessity for con­solidation and economy was imperative. When money,was free, as it was in most of the twenties, there wereno real problems, financial or educational. Anyone whohad a project could get a budget for it, and so everyonewas happy. This blissful state was so extensive that in1927 it was seriously suggested the University officesclose down at 4 or 4: 30 each afternoon, because therewasn't anything to do.But when the University began balancing its budgetby eating into reserves, things were different. Every itemhad to be examined and judged; those whose funds werecut were unhappy. Even more, the whole purpose of theinstitution had to be re-examined, to determine what itsfunction was and what activities contributed to its ends.Since the war, the increase in enrolment and the resurng,tion of research projects have meant the faculty mustcarry the heaviest load in the University's history.Though in comparison with the past the Universityis working and living in an atmosphere of pressure andeven of tension, it still has not lost its ability to look onthe course of the world with a long range and objectiveviewpoint. The personal life of the faculty is far less.comfortable, in everything from housing to the numberof Ph. D. candidates it must supervise, but the qualit>;of its performance has not suffered. The great develop,ment of the last decade in inter-departmental and inter­divisional programs of research and teaching representsin fact one of the important advances in education, per-:­mitting a heretofore unknown breadth of instruction foradvanced students, and attack on research problems ofgreat complexity.It is impossible for any observer, no matter howancient, to reach a satisfactory decision on such" questionsas whether there has been change in the relationships be­tween students and faculty. The old informality of thedays when Weber Linn and Percy Boynton held officehours as deans, in their cubbyholes in Ellis Hall, has beenreplaced by a more scientific and rigorous program ofadvisors. If Freddy Starr's ice cream parties are unknownto the present generation, they do not seem to miss them.;instead they will'spend an hour after class vigorouslyarguing with Joe Schwab about a philosophical problemin 0-1-1. The only certain fact is that the bright boysand girls' in the College today, even as you and I in OUrtime, would consider an old plan alumnus as hopelesslynaive, if not a bore, should he try to tell them of theglories of the past.12so YOU KNOW YOUR UNIVERSITY?Wait! Just for fun, before reading this, answer the questionson Page 6.Actually there have been two Universities of Chicago.In 1856, Senator Stephen A. Douglas deeded ten acres fromhis 80-acre tract at 35th and Cottage Grove to a designated groupof trustees for the purpose of founding a university. It becamethe University of Chicago.Only two buildings and a connecting chapel were ever erectedon the site. Indebtedness finally smothered the entire institutionin the spring of 1886.Although the present University on the Midway is not a con­tinuation of -this first University of Chicago (there was a newcharter and Board of Trustees), by official action the new Uni­versity adopted all alumni from the old, confirming and re­enacting their. degrees.Today, at 35th Street overlooking Lake Michigan, stands a100-foot column crowned with a statue of "The Little Giant."Douglas is buried there in a memorial park, once a part of hisoriginal 80 acres, a block east of the site of the University hehelped found.Answers to questions on Page 6.1.

They contain 29 fascinating biog­raphies of non-faculty men who helped build and mould theearly history of the University. We have also used freely Good­speed's A History of the Unioersity of Chicago, 1891-1916.This is the first of a series on early University history.The Old University13NEWS OF THE QUADRANGLESPREWAR blueprints have given way on the quad­rangles to postwar building. Construction has be­gun on three new buildings-the Ion AcceleratorLaboratory, a faculty housing unit, and a meat institute.The Ion Accelerator Building, ($1,250,000) is the firstunit in the University's ten-million dollar program forbasic scientific research in nucleonics.The first building in the proposed $7,500,000 housingprogram for the Institute for Nuclear Studies, the Insti­tute of Radiobiology and Biophysics, and the Institutefor the Study of Metals, the Ion Accelerator Building isbeing constructed on the southwest corner of Ellis avenueand Fifty-sixth Street.The basement and one-story laboratory will house a100-million volt betatron, ,the University's cyclotron, anda new cyclotron of the most modern construction withwhich scientists hope to find the key to the structure ofmatter.The laboratory is primarily for researches in nuclearphysics and radio-chemistry conducted by the Institutefor Nuclear Studies, but facilities for medical researchwith high energy positive ions and gamma rays will beincluded for use by the Institute of Radiobiology andBiophysics and the division of roentgenology of the De­partment of Medicine. One of the problems in prospectfor the latter departments is the study of the effects ofpositive ion beams on deep-seated cancerous growths inthe body.The center of the building will feature a crane bay,the full length of the building, fifty feet wide, and 33 feetabove the floor. The crane will be capable of handling70 tons.At the south end of the building-the l Ofl-million voltbetatron, now being constructed by General Electric Com­pany, will be located. A pit twenty feet below floorlevel at the north end of' the laboratory will house thenew cyclotron.Control rooms to the betatron and two cyclotrons, five • By JEANNETTE LOWREYlaboratories, offices for the medical staff and examiningrooms for patients will be located the full length of thebuilding on the east side of the crane bay. The upperpart of the crane bay on the first floor level will be sur­rounded by balcony-offices, laboratories, conferencerooms and drafting rooms.FaC'ulty housingThe first unit in the University's two-million dollarfaculty housing project is a $700,000 eight-story elevatorbuilding and penthouse with two three-story walk-ups.The project eventually will cover one city block andwill front on the Midway. Present plans call for only theimmediate construction of the first unit, which will faceIngleside avenue, and the further development of twoother groups on the north half of the block between Ellisand Ingleside avenues.The apartment units will be built of reenforced COn­crete and faced with grey brick on all sides to harmonjg-,with the grey Gothic buildings of the Midway.The first unit will include seven two and one-halfroom units, eight three-room units, 14 five-room unitstwo six-room units, and two three-room penthouse apar+,ments, and 13 five-room walk-up apartments.Rentals will range from $72.50 for the two and One­half, room apartments to $125 for six-room and pent­house apartments.New laboratory buildingThe American Meat Institute Foundation brokeground for a half-million dollar, three-story and basementstone building at the University to house laboratories forbacteriology, biochemistry, nutrition, histology, analyticaland physical chemistry, and home economics.The Foundation's building of Gothic style architecturewill face 57th street between Ingleside and Ellis aVe­nues, and will be built with funds provided by the Foun_dation.Accelerator Building14THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 15Faculty Housing UnitThe Foundation, which conducts its program of re­search and education in' harmony with the program ofeducation and research of the University, was incor­porated on October 12, 1944.A not-for-profit organization, the Foundation engagesin education activities and scientific research in theprocessing and use of all products derived from livestock,including food technology, nutrition, public health, andother subjects of like nature.�University candidates for the degree of doctor ofphilosophy in the fields of biological and physical sciencemay do their thesis research work under the auspices ofthe Foundation.The Great Books FoundationOrganization of the Great Books Foundation to de­velop a mass education program intended to reach mil­lions of Americans in' the next five years was announcedthis summer by Chancellor Hutchins.A non-profit and independent organization with aboard of eleven directors drawn from education andbusiness, the Foundation will take over the communityprogram of study of the great books which the Universitybegan experimentally three years ago.This undertaking, which has grown from 165 Chicagoparticipants to an estimated 20,000 this autumn in 17American cities and Vancouver, B. C., was necessitatedby the mushroom expansion of the Great Books classes.I t was necessary to relieve the University of responsibilityfor the- courses, and to organize the Foundation to carryon .the work.Mr. Hutchins is chairman of the board. Lynn A.Williams, Jr., vice-president of Stewart-Warner Corpora­tion, who has been granted a leave of absence, is presi­dent and active head.Walter P. Paepcke, chairman of the board, ContainerCorporation of America, is the Foundation's vice-presi­dent ; and Wilbur C. Munnecke, vice-president of theUniversity, is secretary and treasurer.The first activity of the Foundation this summer wasthe organization of six courses in Chicago, some of two Meat Instituteweeks' duration, and some of four weeks', for prospectiveleaders from cities wishing to establish free classes thisautumn."The experience of the University of Chicago in thelast three years with community programs in many largecities, in cooperation with local agencies, has demon­strated the value of the great books seminars as a meansof adult education," Mr. Hutchins said in announcingthe formation of the Great Books Foundation. "Noother plan of mass adult education so surely catches theinterest of the participants or achieves its results."Fifteen million adults, of all levels of previous school­ing and occupation, have the capacity for this type ofeducation. We expect, through a process of proliferation,to reach the greater part of them, and give them trainingin thinking independently and critically about the prob­lems which confront us."R,ohert M.

Mrs. M. G.(Louise Acker) Roberts, '37, AM'38, PhD '46, Instructorin English and Adviser in the College, was the first womanto receive one of the $1,000 prizes awarded annually atthe University for excellence in undergraduate teaching.Mrs. Roberts joined the faculty in 1939. The other1947 recipients of the prizes were Benson E. Ginsburg,PhD'43, Assistant Professor in the Biological Sciences,and Eliseo Vivas, Associate Professor of Philosophy.The one-thousand dollar prizes, the only such awards inthe country, were inaugurated in 1938 by a New Yorkalumnus to interest teachers in training not only scholarsand research workers, but also young men and womenfor intelligent participation and leadership in business,civic, and professional life ..Distingui,shed Service ProfessorsTwo of the Quadrangle's greats, Dr. Arno B. Luck­hardt, Professor of Physiology, and Richard P. McKeon,Professor of Greek and Philosophy, were named Distin­guished Service Professors.A starred man of science, Dr. Luckhardt is famous forhis discovery and subsequent gift to mankind of ethylenegas as an anesthetic. His researches on parathyroid,functions and physiology of the stomach, have made himinternationally-known. In recognition of his work, hewas elected a foreign member of the Deutsche Akademieder Naturlorscher, oldest scientific society in the world,and awarded the 1943 Callahan memorial prize.Prof. McKeon, renowned for his thorough scholarshipand for the clarity of his insight into philosophy, servedas Dean of the Division of Humanities from 1935, untillast January, when he resigned to devote full time to hisacademic work. He is serving on the quadrangles alsoas chairman of the Committee to Frame a World Con­stitution, and at the State Department as an advisor onUNESCO affairs.Lu.ckhardt McKeon The Chancellor's . shorthandWhen Carter Colwell, l5-year-old son of PresidentErnest Cadman Colwell, took up shorthand and typingthis summer, he said, "I want to be like ChancellorHutchins."The meaning of his statement was made clear whena story about Chancellor Hutchins at the July confer­ence of atomic bomb scientists and educators at Lake.Geneva was published.Stenographers, according to the news release, werescarce at the national conference. Furthermore, thedelegates, needed a stenographer they would all trust­one who would not repeat any of the discussions whichpreceded the agreement on what the declaration wouldcontain. Their selection was Robert M. Hutchins, whoin addition to his fame as scholar and administrator isalso an expert at shorthand and typing.Automatic retirementsSeven professors at the University, whose service onthe quadrangles totals 179 years� were granted emeritustitles with the opening of the fall quarter.The. seven, who have reached the automatic retirin�age, are: J. Harlem Bretz and Rollin T. Chamberlin,Professors in the Department of Geology; James Franck,Nobel-prize winner and Professor of Physical Chemistry;Carl H. Grabo, Associate Professor of English; CharlesT. Holman, Professor of Pastoral Duties of the FederatedJones Professor and Chairman of the Department ofTheological Faculty; Dr. Dallas B. Phemister, Thomas b.Surgery; and William ·C. Reavis, Professor of Education.Dr. Phemister Ts continuing in the Medical School asthe Thomas D. Jones Professor Emeritus in the depart­ment he organized 22 years ago.Prof. Franck will also remain on the University staffto �ontinue his project with the Fels Foundation on theproblems of photosynthesis and photochemistry.Bretz, PhD ' 13, starred man of science and specialiston the geology of the Chicago region, came to the U ni­versity in 1914. His 'chief research has been in glacialgeology, Pleistocene history, and the interpretation of landforms. His best-known researches relate to the origin ofthe so-called "Channeled Scablands" of the ColumbiaRiver Valley, and his most recent, to the origin of lime­stone caves.Dr. Franck, one of the three winners of the NobelPrize .at the University, is one of the world's leadingtheorists in the field of photosynthesis.Born in Hamburg, Germany, in 1882, Dr. Franckserved as Professor of Physics at the University of Goet­tingen from 1920 until the day Hitler assumed power,when he resigned. After six months in Germany with­out a position, he moved with his family to the Universityof Copenhagen, where was guest professor for a yearbefore coming to the United States in 1935. He WasProfessor of Physics at Johns Hopkins University forthree years before coming to the University in 1938.'tHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEBretz Chamberlin HolmanHolman, BD '16, who has been associated with theUniversity for the past 24 years, became pastor of theUnion Church of Guatemala, the only-English-languageProtestant church holding regular services in the country.He was one of the pioneers in investigating the implica­tions for the clergyman in his role as counselor and ofthe new insights made available by research and clinicalwork in the psychological and social sciences, and duringthe war, conducted nation-wide counseling courses onwartime problems under the auspices of the army andn�vy department of the Y.M.C.A. and the Federal Coun­cil of Churches.Prof. Chamberlin, '03, PhD '07, is also a starred manof science. He did his early investigations in the preven­tion of coal-dust explosions in mines, for which he de­vised the stone-dust method. He later did explorationsof the large deposits of iron ore in Brazil, critical studiesof the coral-reef problem for the Carnegie Institution"and investigations of the nature and mechanics of glaciermotion.Hi'S most embracing researches in. the 35 years he hasbeen with the University, have been the development ofsome of the larger concepts of historical geology, andinvestigation of the deformation of the earth, particu­larly the origin and structure of mountain ranges, in­volving laboratory experimentation on the deformationof rocks and field studies on all continents except Antarc­tica.Grabo, PhB '03, author of 13 books, including themystery Crows Are Black Everywhere, in collaborationwith H. O. Yardley, has been associated with the Uni­versity since 1907. Among his other books are: TheTechnique of the Novel, prometheus Unbound, TheGrowth of Shelley's Thought, The Black Butterfly (verse)and The Meaning of the Witch of Atlas. Carl Grabowill teach at the University of New Mexico during itsfirst semester.Reavis, '09, AM'12, PhD '25, outstanding authorityon educational administration, has been on the faculty26 years. His direction of school surveys, his consulta­tive activities, and his supervision of the AppointmentsCommittee of the Department of Education have madehim well-known throughout the nation. He is familiarwith school administration conditions in most of the 17larger cities of the United States and Canada as the re­sult of doing research work i� both countries.Forty years in clinical surgery, teaching, and investiga­tion, Dr. Phemister, MD Rush '04, is internationallyknown for his advances of modern surgery. His research,including studies of bone pathology and physiology, thecause and treatment o( surgical shock, the calcification ofgall stones, and the development of surgical techniques,ranging from orthopedics to cancer of the esophagus;has contributed directly to the development of present-day surgery. .New edmlnlstre+ive officersRoland Wendell Harrison, MS '25, PhD '30 Dean ofthe Division of Biological Sciences, was elected a Vice­President and Dean of Faculties to succeed LawrenceA. Kimpton, who resigned in the summer to becomeDean of Students and Professor of Philosophy at Stan­ford University.Dr .. Lowell T.

Thirty-ninethousand dollars was given last year, and more than$.24,000 has been donated to date for 1947.CONTINU,IN:G EDUCATION FOR ALUMNIIN 1936 the Alumni Association threw away its bassdrum, funny hats, and wild parade equipment in fa­vor of a brand new type of June reunion.An Alumni School was introduced with a series ofafternoon, dinner, and evening lectures running throughan entire week. Quickly it outgrew the Judson Courtlounge and was moved to Mandel Hall.Then came the War which shrank the Reunion Schoolto a week-end. Even yet, travel and living conditions donot encourage a return to the original schedule.In the meantime, the Association, through its Commit­tee on Education with Trustee Paul V: Harper as Chair­man, has developed another type of Alumni School:'Special Courses for Alumni, running through the fall andwinter.Beginning in the fall of 1941, these courses have grownin popularity to set a record of nearly three thousand(2,946). to date who have registered for the twentycourses offered through the past six years.Usually four courses are offered each. year. Eachcourse runs twelve sessions on alternating Tuesdays orThursdays from October into April.Last spring, as the sixth series ended, the Committee onEducation dipped into its budget. td underwrite a surveyby the adult education division of the University. A re­port of 110 pages was recently submitted. The purpose of the survey was to determine the ef­fectiveness of the Courses to date and provide a compassto guide the Committee in the future. Some interestingincidontal information came out of the survey.On a sampling basis it was determined that64% of the "students" were married.60% were Bachelor degree holders; the others hadhigher degrees.24% were in salary brackets below $3,000.34% had salaries above $5,000.55% were in the professions.21 % were housewives.13 % were managers of businesses.6% were in clerical and sales positions.5% owned and operated their own businesses.Announcements of the four courses offered by theAlumni Association for this fall and winter have goneinto the mails. The complete program will be foundin the September Alumni Bulletin which all alumnishould have received by now.The subjects are: Recent Advances in the BiologicalSciences; Recent Developments in Education; Our Politi­cal and Economical Crisis; and Approaches to HumanAdjustment.The Committee on Education, feeling this is probablythe best series ever offered the alumni, is expecting arecord registration.ALUMNI CITATIONSKramer ChandlerKent Chandler, '13, Lake Forest, Illinois.

And by television, sodo the pictures of any event as it occurs.What has made this blinding speed possible? What hasgiven us these "ringside seats" ... to see, to hear, to sharein the headline news of the day?The answer: Greater knowledge of electronic waves andbetter materials to harness them. For example; the vac­uum tube-heart of radio or television-depends UpOtl thegreatest possible absence of air or other gases-a high vac­uum. Most of the air is pumped out before the tube is sealed.Then a tiny bit of barium, called a "barium getter" isflashed inside of it by electricity. This captures the remain­ing air and gives a nearly perfect vacuum.
