T� � U N IVtRS ITY O�(�I(AGO MAGAZINt IBOOKSTHE POLITICS OF EQUALITY, New Zealand'sAdventure in Democracy, by Leslie Lipson,PhD '38. University of Chicago Press. $6.00.In the tower of Rockefeller MemorialChapel carillonneur Fred Marriott has ahuge keyboard on which he plays the 72-bell carillon. Across the room is a minia­ture board with toy-piano-like rows ofmetal bars on which Fredcan practice newcompositions before exposing them toWoodlawn and Hyde Park.Can it be that New Zealand is like that­working out in advance the complicatedvariations of democracy to be played lateron the mighty American organ with its48 states?New Zealand has been a democracy formore than a century. It has had publiceducation since 1877; male suffrage since1879; woman suffrage since 1893; laborarbitration since 1894; old age pensionssince 1898; and pensions for widows since1911. It continued with minimum wagelaws, socialized medicine, and such avariety of government-owned operationsthat modern New Zealand can fairly bedescribed as one of the most elaboratelygoverned democracies in the world.Author Lipson points out that whileeducating the children the state looks aftertheir teeth and provides free milk andapples; lends money to build homes orbuilds and rents them; insures life andproperty; provides the telephone, telegraph,and mail service; runs a commercial bank;and sells coal from its own mines andwine from its own vineyards.New Zealand runs railways, buses andairplanes and owns and operates hotels andresorts for its citizens; it provides radiobroadcasts and books for the rural people.It controls imports and exports and themoney sent out of the state. It fixesminimum hours, wages and conditions ofwork and compels enrollment in tradeunions.The state buys certain farm products atguaranteed prices; plants, cuts, mills andmarkets its own timber; pays a portion ofthe medical cost and, to the unemployed,widowed, orphaned, aged, or totally in­valided it pays benefits.One-fifth of all the people are publicemployees. "Large scale private adminis­tration is almost nonexistent." If theseare trends in any democracy, it is alsointeresting to note the decline in educa­tional standards for New Zealand leaders.There were 13 premiers before 1890, allbut one of whom received university train­ing. There have been 11 premiers since1890, only one of whom ever attended auniversity. This one served for a fort­night.New Zealand broadcasts all sessions ofParliament. Lipson's observation: "Since(Parliament) has gone on the air, thequality of the legislature has not improved.The public were at first shocked and dis­illusioned. . . . Broadcasting has encour­aged members to electioneer . . . oftenignoring the merits of the issue under dis­cussion."After receiving his doctorate from Chi­cago, Leslie Lipson went to New Zealand,where he became the first professor of po­litical science at the University of NewZealand. -He remained through 1946 whenhe returned to the States to become Pro­fessor of Political Science at SwarthmoreCollege. His eight years on the Islandsgave him ample opportunity to observeand study first hand New Zealand's ad­ventures in democracy. He gives a com- prehensive analysis of the governmentunder the two general heads: "Democracyin Evolution, 1940-90; Democracy in Opera­tion, 1891-1947."This 520-page volume, however, will bedifficult to use as a reference book, unlessone is writing biographies. There are 152items in the index, 94 of which are thenames of persons. The remaining 58 are"illuminating" general heads such as Aus­tralia, Britain, Japan; Departments, FederalGovernment and Voting.

In. 1892 it was a University campus with buildings, 120professors, and 540 students. Throughout its young butcolorful history such dramatic and sudden changes havebeen almost commonplace. This is true in Chicago'sphysical growth, in its intellectual vigor, and in itsviolently changing approaches to the social aspects oflife.Social activities at the University of Chicago are notthe same today as they were two years ago, or twentyyears ago, or fifjy years ago. They have not evolved grad­ually, but have resulted from some clearly definable con­ditions; the personalities of University administrativeleaders, the nature of the curriculum, and the influencesof such changes in world conditions as wars and depres­sions.Early in its history, social activities were consideredquite important. Rather frivolously, the author of "1893"wrote:Oh! There were more profs than students, but then wedidn't care;They spent their days in research, their evenings at the FairAnd life upon the campus was one continual swing;We watched the Ferris Wheel go round, and didn't do athing.Since the University pioneered in equal opportunitiesfor women students, the status of "University women"was rather interesting. The women's residence hallsfunctioned as "clubs." After a girl had been in residenceone quarter as a "guest," she was either elected to mem­bership or politely dismissed to find other housing ac­commodations. Dances were held monthly in the recep­tion room of each hall, and romance of a dignifiedtype flourished. Afternoon tea in individual rooms wasa popular custom. The young ladies conducted themselveswith decorum; it must be remembered that the Univer­sity was a Baptist institution. No card playing was allowedin mixed gatherings. Dancing �t first was allowed onlyin University buildings, but gradually approved hotelswere used for student dances. The establishment of so­rorities on campus met with definite opposition; finallythe first dub was allowed on the condition that it wasfor "literary and social purposes.'" By Michael Weinberg, Jr.The date that rated highest among the girls of theUniversity was an invitation to a tallyho ride. The younglady and her escort went up-town on the I. C. to a liverystable, then rode back to a football game in a coachdrawn by four sleek. black horses, Campus life was pro­ceeding merrily on its way, and student activities wereconsidered an important part of the University. Chicago'sfamous coach, Amos Alonzo Stagg, held football prac­tice in Washington Park on the first day of school, 1.892.A close examination of those early days leaves no doubtabout the emphasis, . that Chicago placed on athletics. Itwas a leader not only in competition but also fosteredintercollegiate athletics, being, in fact, a founder of theWestern Conference and winning Conference footballchampionships both in 1896 and 1899'.The fraternity spirit entered with the opening of theUniversity's doors, even though fairly adequate housingfacilities had "been provided for the men. Some fraterni­ties were on the campus from the start, with the menbeing initiated at No!thwestern, and eventually renting,buying or building houses.Student productions, in the dramatic field were soonestablished. The Order of Blackfriars can be traced to1898 and the University Settlement's need for money.T{) raise funds, Professor George Vincent called togetherthe faculty and students to organize a show to be pre­sented by Professors Linn, Barret and Miller. The show,without females, netted $1,600 for the Settlement. A. A.Stagg was one of the leads and Henry Gordon Gale wasin the chorus.Judson eraUpon President Harper's death in 1906, Harry PrattJu�:lson became President" Judson favored athletics as' aunifying factor in University life. Consequently by 1914-the athletic field had 'been enlarged by adding to StaggField (formerly Marshall Field), making it one of. thebest stadiums in the country. Women's activities espe­cially underwent great expansion during the Judsonadministration; the influential guidance of Dean of Wo­men Marion Talbot and the building of Ida Noyes Hallwere the main factors.3Sciatica a t t a c k s firstforced Alonzo Stagg in 1910to coach from a motorcydesidecar. In 1919 a recur­rence led alumni to presenthim with an electric automo ..bile from which he coachedthat yeer's team.4 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICA,GO MAGAZINEThe elusive quality known as "college spirit" wasmuch more prevalent on the Chicago campus before thefirst World War than it has been since; student organiza­tions made great strides under Judson. One of the earlierattempts to break U'P cliques and encourage til feeling ofunity was the first Interelub dinner in 1907. One of themost popular. of the male organizations was the Three­Quarters Club, organized in 1895., In that year, Freshmencould not pledge .a fraternity in the first three quarters ofthe University, and the Three-Quarters Glub suppliedtheir need for social activity. The class of 1911 probablypossessed the greatest amount of school spirit in thehistory of the University. The women voluntarily woregreen bands around their wrists for purposes of identifi­cation among the men; the Seniors pledged themselvesto grow mustaches, the juniors donned blue-knobbed caps,and the Sophomores wore gray toques with. yellow knobs.Religious activity during President Judson's adminis­tration was at a peak; until as I�te as 19r9. 'Chapel atten­dance was compulsory once a week, with penalties fornon-attendance. The class of '17 included a "'Go-to­Church-Sunday" in its ,'Sp'ring Quarter program. Dis­cussion of moral'S and health was widespread, and in1916 a. long series. of anti-cigarette lectures was given.Burton and' the ear'I'y '20'sFollowing the War, Ernest DeWitt Burton replaced Mr.Judson, in 1:92;3. During the Presidency of Burton andsuccessor Max Mason, the crash. of '2,9 seemed a remotepossibility and so the university social set went blithely onits way. Until 1929 there was a steady upward trend inthe growth of fraternities. Traditionally fraternities havestood for the "status quo." Most of them were founded in small colleges, imbued with a "joe college" spirit ofritual, secret grip, and hazing. They were largely anti­intellectual and did not keep pace with ·the growth ofintellectual life of the colleges. The old rushing policywas to keep the newly-arrived Freshman from seeing theMichaell Weinberg,'47, presldenf of the Stu-, dent Uni'on, is ,a "nat­ural" for the [ob, Fewcandldates could toip hisrecord for experience inand knowledge of stu­dent'life on fhe Midway.It aU began the day :his,mother, nee lela Elch­berq, '23, toddled himinto fhe campus nurs,eryschool, His apprentice­smip co,nHnued es hemoved with fir,m.er tread.fhrough the elementaryand secondary schools.ft resumed when 'he re-·tUf,ned, after en extended march abroad with Uncle Sam'sinfantry, to brisk th'roug'h the College and enter the School.of Business, where he is now studying for his master's.

In one instance a Freshman was de­sired by two different houses and was spirited off the trainby representatives of one house at 59th Street, whilerepresentatives from' the other waited in vain at 63rd.High pressure methods included the pledging of. Fresh­men while they were drunk. One Beta actually went sofar as to pledge a Freshman while both were in the ChiPsi lodge.In the earlier days there was a stigma attached to theindependent; no self-respecting girl would date a non­fraternity man, and one Quad was ostracized at a Clubparty for bringing an "outsider." In February of 1925 thePsi Upsilon fraternity won exemption from State Prop­erty Tax because it was "an educational and charitableinstitution!" And in April of the same year, the MilitaryBall was inaugurated. It was in 1927 that the. thenPrince of Wales visited the Chicago campus and dinedin Hutchinson Clommons.After the first World War there was a great influx ofmen into the University. This fact may account forathletic triumphs in the 1920's. In the year 1922 and1924 we had champion football teams with championbasketball teams in 1920 and 1924.

This is no time for relaxation, notime to be listening to music or poetry, no time for theephemeral pleasures and finite activities of the world,The ascending course lies steeply ahe�d.: "haste to, themount and strip you of the slough that lets not God "bemanifest to you,'I know of no better parable of the non-humanisticEfe than this, for here in Dante's Purgatory we have aclear example of what might he called the vertical life.The proper direction 'Of mortals is upward. Earth isthrust behind and man climbs towards God. Even thepoetic fiber of the Dioina Commedia, the plain, strong,muscular structure of the Dantean line, demonstratesin its ec<!nomy, in its aloofness and want of elaboration,in its cool syllogistic rnood, the withdrawal 'Of mediaevalman from sensuous existence and his eagerness to obtainthose permanent realities of a spiritual 'Order that havetheir residence in the mansionhouse of faith. ,But Dante was hardly dead 'before Francesco Petrarcafound a soft route to the Kingdom OIf Heaven. The raceis no longer to the swift nor the hattie to the strong,for it is the lover who wins now, the lover who seesthe grace and goodness of God in the 'blue mysteriesof his "lady's eyes. The staircase to Heaven can almostbe built III an idle moment and it is a comfortable stair­way 'Of easy inclination. There arc, 'Of course, occasionswhen Petrarca talks like Dante" but the essential differ­ence between the two men' becomes apparent as weread the third book of Petrarca's Secretum. For twobooks St.- Augustine has been lecturing Petrarca onhis waywardness, and at this point in the dialogue he charges him with neglecting his spiritual offices in orderto pursue worldly love and worldly fame.To the first accusation, Petrarca cries out: "Pray whathave I done, that you should desire to relieve me of thefinest passions of my nature, and condemn to everlastingdarkness the clearest faculties of my soul?" To the sec­ond condemnation he replies almost casually: "Whatmust I do then? Abandon my unfinished works? Orwould it be better to hasten them on, and, if God givesme grace put the finishing touches to them . . . forhardly could I bear the thought of leaving half completeda work so fine and rich in promise of fame?" There aretimes in the Canzoniere and the Epistolae when the noteof regret and recantation is heard, and then Petrarca is'more like Dante, hut the cult of the vertical life is be­ginning to waver and the. celestial voice of the greatmediaeval organ is growing fainter and fainter.IT IS A commonplace to observe that Dante madesi�ent and secret love to Beatrice and transmutedher into a spiritual symbol, that Petrarca lovedLaura humanly but purely and made her a means ofhis recognition of the love of God, but that Boccaccioloved his Fiammeta as carnally as a man can love awoman and let it go at that. This is a commonplacebut a distinguished one, for it helps to indicate the transi­tion from the other-worldliness of the Middle Ages tothe worldliness of the Renaissance.The Decamerone does much to betray the secret, for•the heroes and heroines of that book are people who aregenerally too much in love with the world, and we knowin what section of the Hereafter Dante would have placedmost of them. Then, too, we must remember that Boc­caccIDo,· though he sometimes trembles, never recants;he sees ·that there are spots in hi'S life and his profession,but he has a leopardlike affection .for spots. A'sure wit­ness of his worldliness is his Italian style. The lushnessof its imagery and the languid and processional marchof the sentences is most different from the austereand frugal manner of Dante. For man. is no longerin a hurry and there is plenty of time to stretch-out,to tell stories, and' to listen to poetry and harmony. Thefair Pampinea, a queen of fabulists in the Decamerone,gives us a hint of the new diapason when she urgesher companions to leave plague-ridden Florence for acoun try villa ..6By Don Cameron AllenThere will our ears be entertained with the warbling of thebirds, and our eyes with the verdure of the hills and the vaflevs:with the waving of cornfields like the sea itseilif; with trees of athousand different kinds, and a more open and agreeable prospectthan these desolate walls, The air also is pleasanter, and there isa greater plenty of everything, attended with fewer inconveniences,We cannot imagine stern Cato listening to this invita­tion to worldly relaxation, but this is ]348 and Cato isin Purgatory; moreover, the bella donna is talking thenew language of humanism, the language of a movementthat avoided the v�rticallife of faith and sauntered alongthe horizontal way of the reasonable life, the way thatwas eventually to be called "progress." .IT IS always difficult to explain these shifts in humanattitudes because there are invariably as many expla­nations as there are expositors. We are also awarethat most of the so-called humanistic qualities can befound to some degree in men of the Middle Ages, butthere is a difference in emphasis, a change in tone, andit is this difference and this change tha t count. Forme this alteration can be explained in part by the newvalue that the Renaissance placed on reason and by thenew goals that the horizontal ljfe set {O!I' man.I do not know whether the reason was idolized becausethe Renaissance was infatuated by man and his world orwhether the Renaissance abandoned the hard spiritualquest of the Middle Ages 'because it was enchanted by theindependent reason. All that I know is that reason wasexalted by the humanists in a way that the men off theMiddle Ages=-even the scholastics=-would have consid­ered unfitting, and that in the play of Hamlet, just as inthe play of Faustus, we have a mortality that informs usabout the plight of a man who was so seduced by the lureof reason that he wandered apart from the vertical road offaith.If we go back to the opening centuries of the ChristianEra, we find that faith is a word used to describe the sortof knowledge that man receives through revelation andthat the word reason designates the kind of wisdom thaiis acquired through the analytical and synthetical func­tions of the human mind. The lore of faith, the Fatherstell us, comes from the Scriptures, the tradition of theChurch, and the private inspiration of a few holy men.Reason is, a lesser light.' It provides us with knowledge Once God/s slave w'fth a goldencollar, man has becomethe ,serf of reeson In iron bandsby testing the truth of things against the "ideas" or"essences" and by arriving at conclusions through "thecontradictoriness of opposites."So an early Christian who regarded faith as his main­stay did not have to reject reason, but he was, nonethe­less, faced with a trying set of questions. Was reasonprior to faith or faith to reason? Does one come to faiththrough reason and has reason any force in determiningthe verity of a revelation? Do reason and faith' supplyinformation. about different and distinct fields of ignor­ance or is it possible to assume that in certain circum­stances they are. equally valid in the same field?' Thislast question was the most troublesome and the thinkersof the Middle Ages were never' successful in resolving it.T.HE controversy abo.. ut these two sourc. es of know. l­edge began early in the Christian Era with thetaunts of pagan philosophers and the doubts ofearly Christians who h�d been educated in Greek phi­losophy. We can follow the debate as it runs throughthe pages of Clement of Alexandria, of Origen, arid ofTertullian, We hear the· fourth century Ambrose insist. that faith alone has weight in questions concerning themysteries of theology. We see Augustine hend towardsreason, 'but we know that he felt that faith was the essen­tial criterion. We hear John Scotus and Anslem defendreason but stamp it as inferior to faith. "Reason wm tellus about the creatures and this knowledge will ' lead usto Cod." "Reasoa will take us to the gate of Heaven, butFaith lets us in." Then St. Thomas, stirred by this trouhle"Hamlet and the Wages of Reason" was presented I!astsummer as one in a series of lectures on Humanism of theRena·j!ssance. Its warm reception by the Universityaudience, and our beliief that its theme-the supplantingo·f faith by reascn and the consequences to man's spirit­is of great relevance today, led us' to publish iit.

Faith can in some matters transcend reason, and inmany respects it is faster and more accurate.St. Thomas' resolution of the problem was wise, butunsuccessful, and the confusion of the early. humanistsabout the respective boundaries and eminence of faith andreason is a testimony to this fact. Petrarca has great diffi­culty in separating the two means of knowing; he is con­tinually confounding saints and philosophers. Nicolasof Cusa, mindful of the long scholastic tradition, is forcedto admit that mortals win never know the dividing line.Ficino Rounders in his attempt to reconcile philosophyand theology, an attempt that culminates in his effort tosee Socrates as a' foreshadower of Christ. .A further symptom of this ailment is to 'be found in thewritings of Pico della Mirandola, the fabulous youth whowas Ficino's friend. In celebration of the humanisticmovement, Pice della Mirandola composed an elegantand elaborate oration in Latin in praise of the dignity ofman that is known to every student of the Renaissance.He imagines an extra-Mosaic episode in which God ap­pears to Adam and informs him that he has free-will andreason 'by means of which he may rise to celestial heightsor sink to brutish depths. In this oration he speakslargely of reason and will and not at all of faith or works.Dante, I think, would have turned pale to hear him. YetPico and his readers were all good Christians; they simplyfailed to notice that reason and its child philosophy were. slowly trespassing on those areas of knowledge that hadonce 'been protected by faith and theology.WHENEVER a humanist talks about reason, hehangs it about with laurel; but he often means.'. many different things when he uses the word -.In the best sense, reason was a sort of inner harp that. maintained, if properly tuned, an isochronic vibrationwith the great universal harmony. By harkening to thisinner 'symphony,. man might charm the beasts of passionthat prowled the forests of his body, and so, as Pico sug­gests, he might learn to 'live as a man and not as a brute.But reason led to other ends, and it is interesting to ob­serve. that the patristic and -mediaeval thinkers had fore­seen these ends and warned man against them. In theBaconian sense, reason could reduce itself to a "practicalinterrogation of nature," an end good in itself if properlylimited, but one that led man to speculations about theuniverse as a mechanism or 10 theories about the possi­bility of other inhabited worlds 'beside the Adamic earth,theories which did much to destroy some of the most im­portant substructures of man's belief in the watchfulnessof providence and the single intent of the Creation.From these swamps of doubt, reason drew men intoutilitarian and iconoclastic studies. A new system ofr.eaZ'e politique replaced the hierarchical state doctrine ofthe Middle Ages" Physiology and heredity rather thanoriginal sin begin to be the explanation of man's moral nature; then the new ethnology, by noticing that moralsand customs varied from land to land, suggested that one.might question the doctrine of a universal moral law withits ancillary schemata of rewards and punishments.But the new reason went still further. The Fathers haddenied the right of man to measure the nature of faithor revelation by reason, but in their attempts to makerevelation plain and faith exact, the men of the Renais-]sance, especially after the Reformation permitted eachman to read the Scriptures by the light of his own reason,eventually succeeded through their controversies Over thetext, the canon, the historicity, and the fidelity of manyparts of the Bible in reducing that major document ofrevelation to the' level of ordinary literature.We must not forget that all of this was going on in thetop circles of intellectual society, or at any rate, it is onlyon this level that the disturbance occurs. An evidence ofthis emotional crisis is the growing pessimism, the increas­ing world-weariness, and the mounting burden of incerti­tude that one encounters as one reads through the litera­ture of the age. One moment, like Boccaccio's friends,they are eating and drinking and listening to the lutanist. and the next moment they are filled with infinite despair.For man who had been God's slave with a golden collaris now the serf of reason in iron bands.To THIS last. group of world-weary and reason­. worn creatures. the character of Hamlet belongs.- When I say this, I do not mean that this is thepurpose of the great tragedy. The pre-text is simply aproblem in revenge that is as old as the Oresteia; thetheme is how a man got in his own way; but the orches­tration of the play, has many motifs, and the humanist'sexaltation of reason and where this exaltation leads menis one of them.I shall begin 'by pointing out that Hamlet is a humanist.prince of the type found frequently in France and Italyand occasionally in England, and that he has all of theparadoxical versatility that we are accustomed to find inaristocratic humanists. He can be calm when he shouldbe angry; angry when he should be calm; he can turnfrom poetry to murder; fro-m cursing to tears; from loveto hate; he is the serpent and the dove, the lion and thefox.This Hamlet, whom I have 'been describing, existedbefore his father's death, and he still exists in the playbefore us. But the world in which he formerly seemedto live has changed, and it has changed because theshock of the elder Hamlet's death and Queen Gertrude'ssudden marriage has set Ham�et on a different COurse ofthought and this course has' led him to inspect his ideals.To get to the center of Hamlet's mystery, let us contem­plate the world in which he once imagined that he lived.This was the world of medieval idealism; the world fromwhich men woke up.In his uncritical youth, Hamlet thought of kings astall, fearless men; handsome as Apollo, with their beardsa "sable silvered." These kings took David as their pat-THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEtern and regarded themselves as the fathers of a people,whom they ruled by the examples of the patriarchs.Widowed queens were, mindful of the ecclesiastical lawsand faithful to the memory of their husbands, They·knew the common gloss of theologians on the Jife of Abra­ham and took tutelage in wifehood from the story ofSara. From this dream of an ideal world, Hamlet hasawakened into a dream of reality: "0 God I could bebounded in a nutshell and count myself a king of infinitespacewere it not that I have bad dreams."THE transcendental background that the Mid,idleAges provided has collapsed for Hamlet. He can nolonger look towards the realm of the ideal which isone and constant and so he must fix his gaze on a hori­zontal plane that is filled with 2l: multitude of moving fig­ures with fluctuating values. Hence he ceases to be anidealist and a man of faith and becomes a critic and anhistorian. His first speech in the play is an indication ofthe new point of view. "Seems, Madame," he says to his''mother, "I know not seems," Having discovered thissharp scalpel for the dissection of humanity Hamlet pro­ceeds to demonstrate how men deceive themselves andothers.Polonius, who appears to the Queen as a "kindly, goodold man," is a frequent butt of Hamlet's new cynicism.He gives his children copybook advice, but he cannottrust them. He suspects the virtue of his daughter whichhe does not hesitate to sacrifice to political designs. Hesets a spy on his SOB. He is well aware of the marketvalue of a lie, for "with this 'bait of' falsehood we maytake this carp of truth." He pretends to be pious, but heif, ready to make the rites of religion subservient to prac­tical politics. Since he has a vestigal conscience" his deedsare the worse. Polonius, like others of the characters, isa product of the new, practical reason that got men onin the world. He knows the advice of Machiavelli, for,at best, he is a Machiavellian with slight regrets.'But we must not forget Hamlet's two school-fellows,Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, friends of long standing.We know how they should hold the Prince for we haveread the great literature on friendship and we have heardof Orestes and Pylades, Achilles and Patroclus, Davidand Jonathan. These young men are unfortunately notthe sort of friends that we have encountered in books;they sell themselves to Hamlet's enemy in hopes of ad­vancement, and so become "my two schoolfellows, whomI will trust as I will adders fanged." Laertes, the son ofPolonius, is to the manner born and so his faults are moreelaborate. Unlike Hamlet, Laertes is stili delighted byexternals. Hearing of his father's death, he demands, asHamlet does not, immediate satisfaction but his reasonsare different. It is not that he loves his father with amighty love but that the code requires him to be anavenger. These characters and others are imbued withthe devisings of the practical reason.. They are in lovewith the world; and though they may have spiritual whis­perings, they stuff their ears against them because they 9know how such murmurings handicap a man eager forfame and fortune.WE SEE all of these things through the windowof Hamlet's reason and the mirror of Shakes­.peare's critical judgment, but, in truth, we haveyet seen nothing-that the faith of the Middle Ages hadnot pilloried in a hundred homilies. The difference lies inthe mode of viewing. The Middle Ages measured menwith the revealed level of faith, but Hamlet, the humanist,measures his contemporaries with his naked reason. Butit is not that he just measures others; he is constantlymeasuring himself. He may set a glass 'up for his motherbut he has long ago gazed in the glass and seen the flawsin Hamlet. Thanks to this fact, he has not only losthis idealism but he has, practically lost his faith.It is most difficult to determine the nature of Hamlet'sreligion. He uses the word God frequently; he admitsthat there is a divinity "that shapes our ends;" and heknows that Heaven punishes the evil-doer. His father'sspirit has hinted at the torments ,of the Hereafter and ithas urged Hamlet to .leave his mother to Heaven. Yet, Hamlet, like other humanists, has his doubts. Though aghost has visited him from the heat of Purgatorial fires,Hamlet is not sure of the immortality of his living soul;on the other hand, he is not so utterly convinced that hecan bring himself to end his life. Nonetheless, his doubtsabout the reality of "that bourn from which 'no travellerreturns" would be unfitting on the lips of a man of faith.Dante and other medieval thinkers did not question theexistence of this place whose geography they knew so'well.A' NOTHER lesson about the nature of Hamlet�s in­tellectual difficultie's may be learned from Horatio,who is an interesting character because, likeLaertes and Fortinbras, he is a foil to Hamlet. He is,however, a foil in another way. Fortinbras and Laertesact without thinking, whereas Horatio thinks without act­ing. For this reason Horatio is one of the few breathingmen on the stage when the final curtain falls. He, unlikethe other characters, is Hamlet's intellectual equal; in asense, he is Hamlet's alter ego. He is a h.umanist and athorough-going rationalist, but he has a different tern­perament and, in a way, is more fortunate in his birth,As a consequence of both of these accidents, he inhabitsa different philosophical house from that in which Ham­let dwelIs. He has seen all of the menaces of the worldthat Hamlet has seen, but since he lacks Hamlet's causefor action and Hamlet's intense disgust, he has retreated,not into mysticism as some sensitive and disappointed menof the Renaissance did, but into stoicism. He has joinedthe company of the younger Montaigne, of Justus Lipsius,and of other humanists whose experience with the brightnew world had sent them into the spectator's gallery.,When we first meet Horatio, he is a complete rationalist,who has no belief in the supernatural until its existence(Continued on Page 21)ANCIENT ARTSAND NEW IDEASIN THE RAMiBUNG STUDIOS OF THE LATE LORADO TAFT,UNIVERSITY STUDENTS NOW PRACTICE THE MOST ANCliENTARTS WITH THE MOST MOD'ERN EQUI'PMENT.T" HE w,eathe:-beaten re,d brick studio bUiMing, at601·6 Ingleside Avenue has new tenants. In thesame high-ceilinged rooms, where a quarter of acenturr ago Lorado Taft and his colony of young sculp­tors lived and worked, the University Workshop in Artsand 'Crafts now holds class.It took the atom bomb to move the Workshop in Sep­tember, 1947, to its present site after a 35-year stayat Belfield Hall. (Endman at Belfield, it was first togo when the occupants had to move one room east forincoming Atomic Energy �Commission personnel.} Buttoday, now fully recovered from the trek across theMidway, faculty and students are glad for the change. ,The airy, sun-lit rooms with cooler summer temperaturesand burning fireplaces for cold winter days, have doubt­lessly seasoned their attitude.Not for the dabblerThe Greenwich Village decor and classroom informal­ity may mislead the onlooker into thinking the studiosare for the dabbler in the 'arts" but nothing could befarther from the truth. The majority of the 50 studentsis engaged in work essential to a thesis or dissertation.Graduate students from 'both the Art and EducationDepartments use the studios to practice art techniquesof the past and. to experiment with new methods often oftheir own devising.The seudents' seriousness can be seen more tangiblyin another way. The studio art gallery is the 'result ofa tradition that art pieces completed by the studentin the process of working for his higher degree willremain at the Workshop for exhibit. Reminders of thestudents' bequests are the statuary of St. Francis, andthe murals, in the west studio, one an experiment in eggtempera, the other a successful substitute OT grocer'swrapping paper for canvas.Faculty at workWatching the faculty at work will dispel any re­maining doubt of the Workshop's earnest intention. Di­rector of the Workshop, William Garrison Whitford,has the additional duties of counselling prospective teach­ers, and instructing students in ceramics. In his ,Classes,the pupils practice a 'very ancient art with the most'modern equipment. His students have at their hands By Vivian A. Rog,ersthe newest machinery for mlxmg clay and blendingglazes. There are three electric and one gas kilns.Typical of the work done in his class is the ceramicmosaic of Christ exhibited in the studio. Each of thepieces was molded, glazed and kilned by the artist.

In those wonderful days of long agoyou guessed which of the long queues feeding into Cobbwould lead eventually to the proper dean. If you guessedwrong you could start over. I� those times, too, thebursar, or someone, had .rigidly literal ideas about open­ing the. dormitories and the Commons. If you arrivedthe night before the quarter opened, you could sleep ona, mattress, provided you could find an unlocked window.All that is changed now. Students who are enteringthe College get a full week. of induction, plus room serv­ice. Well before they go down to the depot to flag the,Chicago limited they have received leaflets, instructions,and schedules. Even the Examinations Office, whichpreempts a good part of their week, has thoughtfully sentthem some readings with which they are expected tobe familiar before they take the placement tests. Stu­dents who were. here in the Spring Quarter already weregiven the opportuaity to register as early as May. Thehalls are open for old and new and the resident headsare on hand to greet everyone.The differences and the needs of the. College havemade the Orientation Week one of the longest and full­est to be found anywhere. The placement tests, for in­stance, take 22 hours of an entering student's time. Theyprovide a rather rigorous introduction to the College, but'they don't seem to bother even youngsters of 15 who.have come to the Midway fresh from the sophomore yearof high school. The tests are important to the student,for they determine his requirements for the Bachelor'sdegree, If a student does well in the tests, he may findat the end of the week that he has already met a grati­fying part 'Of his requirements, Conversely, he may findthat he doesn't know as much as he should, and so hasdefi,cient' areas to make up. The College means whatit says about its disregard of credits; all it is interestedin is what the student has achieved and what he can dowith what he knows. The placement tests find out.When the student is ready to register at the end of theweek his advisor knows more about the factors relatingto his educational status than anyone ever knew before.The adviser rs able, with the information from the Ap­plication for Admission, the entrance test, and the place­ment test, to adjust the student's undertakings in the Col­lege to his needs and. capacities. In science, :the advisermay ten the 'student that he should attend the class fora year before taking the decisive comprehensive exami- By WILLIAM V. MORGENSTERN, '20, JD '221nation; in humanities, he need only pass part of the com­prehensive examination, and in social sciences he mayneed two-thirds of the course preparation. He may needattention from the remedial. reading laboratory, or per­haps. he must attend the remedial non-credit course inEnglish. The program that emerges is a custom job. Onething that all this activity and attention produces is aremarkable reduction in failures, to just about the abso­lute irreducible minimum from academic causes. Therestill isno test for determining who is going to worry him­self into failure because of trouble at home or unrequitedlove. The adviser has to watch for that kind of prob­lem and deal with it himself.After the student has seen his adviser, the machineryof registration flows smoothly and rapidly. Bartlett Gym­nasium is a labyrinth of aisles down which the studentprogresses to pick up course, cards and pay his tuition.Though this determination of his academic standingand program is the most important part of orientationweek it is not the whole of it. Through a variety ofparties" ranging from a picnic to the Chancellor's recep­tion, (Mr. Hutchins was at both), as well as the inevi­table informal association, the new students become ac­quainted. The sixteen year old, to whom the quadranglesmay seem intimidating, finds to his or her relief that thereare plenty of others just as young in the adventure. Evendivisional and professional scliool students have programsto .introduce them to e�ch other and the faculty andadministration.Their percentage has been decreasing steadily sincethe College was established in its present form, but com­muting students remain a significant proportion of thegroup. The students in the residence halls have a gen­erally satisfactory range of activities centered in the halls,but those who live at home are in the same position as"independents" always have been. Those who have theinterest and energy are active; the rest are not. This isa problem the Dean of Students Office has been strug­gling with for several years. The solution adopted wasto designate each student as an associate member of aresidence hall, but the difficulty has been that of mak­ing an outsider part 01 an integrated group that lives andeats together. There are not facilities for bringing theassociates into the hall for lunch or otherwise giving thema regularly continued contact with the residents. TheDean's Office has some new ideas for strengthening theplan this year, but it' remains to be seen if they will work.The mere fact that such a need is a concern of the ad­ministration indicates how things have changed sinceyou and I were, charges of the sympathetic and friendlyPercy 'Boynton or James Weber Linn, over in Ellis Hall.12BULBSOUT where the McKenzie River makes a huge benda few miles beyond Springfield, Oregon, are acres.of bulb beds fringed by majestic, high-pointed firswith a group of official-looking buildings for a .center­piece. These 46 acres are known from Australia toAlaska as Conley's Blossom Farm, owned and operatedby Pat (Clinton V. Conley, MS '20) and Lola Conley.Back of the temperature-regulated storage and sortingsheds we found Pat in blue denim pants and open-neckedshirt "cooking" huge vats of bulbs to destroy foreign lifewhich might later mar the blooms. Here, we decided,is 'a rough and ready down-to-earth farmer who hasgrown up with the soil he loves to make blossom. �I t was a little disarming, then, to discover a soft­voiced, cultured gentleman with a broad, intelligent and'almost poetic philosophy of life expressed with a vocabu­lary out of the Phi Beta Kappa Monthly. (As far backas his secondary school days, Springfield high classmatesremembered how Pat set out to improve his vocabularyby looking up unusual words and making a practice ofusing them in his daily conversatjons.)Pat majored in chemistry at the University of Oregon.He passed the civil service examinations and accepted ameat inspector's job at the Chicago Stock Yards. Threemonths of odors convinced him that additional educationwould be less odoriferous and probably more profitable.A Midway visit to the office of Julius Stieglitz openedthe door to graduate work in chemistry.With his Master's degree, Pat accepted a position asresearch chemist with Proctor and Gamble, married LolaBarr, his high-school sweetheart, ·and moved to Cincin­nati. As a hobby, Lola began raising pansies and soilfrom Pat's early farm days began to sift into his labora­tory. .

We're homesick for Ore­gon. Let's dig up our bulbs and go home."Thus, 1927 found the bulbs and the Conleys com­fortably transplanted . to two acres of bottom land onPat's brother's farm east of Springfield. For the time,the brother was even taken into partnership.It was in 1940 that the Conleys moved their blossomfarm to the present gardens where they rebuilt the housewith a huge picture window and constructed a group ofbuildings for sorting, storing, packing and shipping somethree million bulbs annually.Of course there ar-e other flowers and bulbs: lilies,crocuses, iris, hyacinths and spring flowers. But tulipsand daffodils are Conley features,Then there is the early spring cut-flower business. Patgets the jump on the market by playing, a few dirty trickson the bulbs he wants for early blossoms. He digs themin July and, instead of letting them enjoy a normal,warm, restful summer he puts them immediately into ahouse temperature-controlled to a mild winter fifty de­grees.

The staff members of the Counseling Center atthe University are among them."Students have the capacity to help themselves, eventhrough serious problems, if they are given the chance,"says Cad Rogers, Executive Secretary of the Center.The idea that the Individual can understand himselfand initiate change in his personality caused great con­troversy six years ago when Doctor Rogers first expressedit in ,CounseLing and Psychotherapy, The hypothesis hasheld up, however, in the counseling of more than 1,500clients using the Center since Its· opening in October,1945."1 have yet to find the individual who, when he ex­amines himself and. his situation deeply, deliberately.chooses dependence, chooses to have the integrated direc­tion of himself undertaken by another," Doctor Rogersconcludes.Staff members at the Center regard their role as spe­cialists in assisting normal people wOifk through theirproblems. Trained by Doctor Rogers in non-directivecounseling techniques, they have interpreted their jobto be to set the atmosphere of understanding and accep­tance wherein the student can begin to resolve his prob­lems.What are his problems? First of all, because he is aperson subject to all the usual and unusual adjustmentsto job, family and friends, he has come to. thre Centerfor help in these matters. As a member of a Universitycommunity he has come with additional troubles.

He has had to face the new responsibilitiesof handling money, of using free time. As his range ofknowledge has broadened, former values which heldgreat security for him have sometimes been upset. Com­petition on the campus has caused anxiety never beforeexperienced in the more comfortable pace of his smalltown high school."I can't concentrate," may be the way he expresseshis problem in the first interview. By the time he decidesto terminate the interview he has often come to see theproblem in the more accurate terms of parental inter­ference, financial insecurity, or marital discord. Seeingthe problem in this new frame of reference, the studenthas' been able to gain real insight. He has begun torealize his role in contributing to the problem. He hasbegun to find direction in acting to resolve his' problem.This phenomenon of change has been seen not 'Onlyin the student clients hut also in the younger and olderpersons from the community. The Office of Dean ofStudents first set up the center to serve students, but theservice has been extended to other groups to providean adequate range 'Of cases, used in training and research.Non-directive counseling has also proved successful ingroup therapy. The most interesting experimental re-. search conducted this· past year indicated that grouptherapy was noticeably effective in reducing examina­tion tension, Another application was in play therapyfor children, "Playing out" feelings and problems hasproved as effective as an adult "talking 'Out" his· diffi-culties. .A great deal of emphasis at the Center has been puton providing professional training in non-directive coun­seling. Eight graduate courses in counseling and relatedfields have been. established including practicums incounseling, play therapy, group therapy, and seminars.In 1946, personal counselors for the Veterans Adminis­tration were trained exclusively by the Center. During-the last year 74 advanced students in counseling andplay therapy practicums have carried cases under super­vision in nearby colleges, schools and agencies.The library of verbatim wire recordings of hundredsof non.-directive interviews has, caused the Center to beconsidered by psychologists as one of the most uniqueresearch centers in the country. The wire recorders enablestudents to study their counseling methods as inter­views are played back to them. Once transcribed andedited S'O that all identifying material is removed, therecordings have proved invaluable ,for research on howto be helpful in human relations.14THE UNIVER.SITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEOfficers in addition to Dr. Rogers are Douglas D.Blocksma, Administrative Coordinator; and Miss Virginia,Axline, Professional Services Coordinator.The counselors at the Center are constantly evalu­ating the success or failure of their work. Pers,onality testssuch as the Rorschach, Guilford-Martin, and ThematicAperception examinations, have 'been administered t6 anumber of cases, before and after counseling. Follow-upinterviews (also wire recorded) have been arranged aftera period of six months or more. The tests indicated whatchanges have occurred. and the interviews verified theirpermanency in the lives of the people counseled. A recentstudy shows that only 3 % of all appointments for coun­seling interviews have been broken, indicating the re­sponsible and favorable attitude held by the studentsto the Center. .Final evaluation of its work, even with the help ofRECOGNITIONThe practicability of thesocielly helpful lifeFor forty years Miss Ma�'Y Zimmerman ['02]. taughtLatin at the John Marshall High School in Chicago,stressing the 'noble virtues of Roman heroes. Also,through personal example, she indoctrinaged her pupilswith belief in the practicability of the socially helpful life.Three years ago Miss Zimmerman received the U niver­sity of Chicago Alumni Association citation for publicservice.Last fall, some time before Miss Zimmerman's seventy-­eighth birthday, a small group of her associates and for­mer pupils, chancing to meet at a party, thought up a giftfor her. They. rightly judged that others among hermany friends might wish to join in the project, and theywere gratified by the readiness and generosity of theresponse that greeted their informal prospectus,It wasn't until spring, however, that the whole thingwas accomplished. By then Mr. Benjamin S. Kanne,Chicago portrait painter, had 'been commissioned to "do"Aunt Mary, as she affectionately is known, and she hadsat for him.

Doctor Rogers sees the possibility of solving theproblems of race prejudice, religious intolerance, and evenconflicts between nations "through the release of inte-. grated and constructive forces within these individualsand groups." To the reader the idea may seem divorcedfrom all reality, but to the student and the members ofthe counseling staff' it is a note of hope wholely justifiedby their own experiences at the Oenter.Mary Zi�'mermanand women who had been in Miss Zimmerman's classesforty and more years ago, and. there were boys and girlsfrom the present enrollment at the Marshall High Schoolto do her honor.

Graves,Professor of Mathematics; Thorfin R. Hogness, Directorof the Institute of Radiobiology and Biophysics; Morris S.Kharasch, Carl William Eisendrath, Professor of Chem­istry; and Warren C. Johnson, Professor and Chairmanof the Department of Chemistry. Darrell W. Osborneof the Argonne National Laboratory was also honoredat the ceremony. 'The citations were on the basis. of work done by thescientists in their specialized fields. Johnson organizeda section devoted to the detection and analysis of wargases for the National Defense Research Committee andserved as an official investigator on detector paints,powders, papers and crayons under the contract betweenthe NDRC and the Uni'versity of Chicago.Hogness was commended for outstanding services inthe field of' chemistry in various responsible capacitieswith the NDRC, Office of Scientific Research and De­velopment; and the Office of Strategic Services.Kharasch was an official investigator in the -syathesis,stabilizing, and' use of war gases, incendiaries, explosives,and therapeutic agents on a contract between the NDRCand the University of Chicago. Brown worked in thedetection and analysis of chemical warfare agents as amember of Division Nine of the NDRC. Graves wasa member of the applied mathematics panel of the Na­tional Defence Research Committee. 1782 tons on 16 wheelsFirst unit of the University's 450 million electron voltsynchrocyclotron with which the Institute for NuclearStudies will explore the structure of the atom, were de­livered to the new Ion Accelerator Building with policeand cameramen escort.Photographers from the newsreels, magazines and Chi­cago newspapers followed the drama tic moving of thefirst section of the 2073-ton magnate yoke from thefreight yards .to the new atomic building across fromStagg Field . . . where the first self-sustaining nuclearchain reaction was achieved December 2, 1942.A specially constructed trailer truck with four axlesand sixteen wheels with tires 22 inches in diameter wasnecessary to transport each of the 28 sections of the fraine.The eight lower section members weighed 82 tons, eachand were 34 feet two inches long, five feet three incheswide, and 22 inches thick-the largest steel ingots everforged by Bethlehem Steel Company.At the Accelerator Building, the truck, which had hadpolice escort through the city streets, was eased downthe ramp, to the thick concrete-walled accelera:tor pitwith steel cables fixed to an anchor and winch installedfor the purpose. In the building the permanent 1 aO-toncrane handled the steel slabs.Primarily a device of physical science, the synchrocy­dotron, which will be ready in January, 1950, willalsobe used to explore the possibility of treating deep-seatedcancers with a proton beam.The purchasing price of approximately $�200,OOO isbeing provided by a grant from the United States Navyand from the cancer research program, Six hundred"and seventy thousand dollars from the $1,800,000 raisedin the campaign of the - University of Chicago CancerResearch Foundation late last year, has been delegatedto the cyclotron fund.The, Accelerator Building's 100 .. to,n crane lifts the first, unit of the University's new synchrocydotron into place.The 16-wheel' trai,lel1' whIch brought the messive slab fromthe freight yards can be seen directly behind it.THE U N I V E R SIT Y 0 F CHI C AGO MAG A Z I.N ENippur RevisitedAn archeological excavation which was started fiftyyears ago in the ruins of Nippur, leading city in ancientSumer where civilization was first developed, will be re­sumed a:gain this fall by the Oriental Institute and theUniversity Museum of the University of Pennsylvania.The first major postwar archeological expedition tothe Near East, the excavation will be directed by DonaldE.

Behlsrun, has been photo­gra phed ohlly once-by Dr. Geo:rge C. Cameron in 1939..Below. the relief, the story is told in eight celumns of cunei­form Inscriptions, three in E'lamite and five in Derius' ownThe secret of the "Rosetta Stone of Western Asia"may be divulged this year when a University archeologist,suspended 300 feet on a steel cable over Mount Behistun,will make the first complete copy of the 2,500-year carvedorder of King Darius of Persia.The archeological expedition to Iran, sponsored by theAmerican Schools of Oriental Research and the Univer­sity of Michigan, will be made by George G. Cameron,the foremost Elamitist of the time.A member of the Oriental Institute staff for the past15 years, Cameron is the 1948-49 annual professor atBaghdad' for the American Schools: of Oriental 'Research.He became Professor of Near Bastern Culture at the U�i­versity of Michigan in October..The relief portraying Darius. and ten of his enemies-rebels he. was forced to subdue before he started toextend his empire and before his fated war with ancientGreece-and the inscriptions are carved on the rockywalls of Mount Behistun in Iran, 500 feet above the plainand 100 feet above a sheer vertical wall.Cameron, who sailed July 30, to copy the unread in­scriptions �nd to re-examine all the doubefui passagesand Ito bring to the U ni ted States a cast of the reliefitself, will be lowered from a natural shelf on the moun­tain, 300 feet above the sculptured panel, by means ofsteel cable and scaffold.The inscriptions, often referred to as the, "RosettaStone of Western Asia," by which modern man foundthe key to the decipherment of all cuneiform from an­cient times when men' wrote on stone and day, have been,examined twice before.' The ina�equacy of these copies, Persian. The overhalilgilng rock on the left beers two.columns of Babylonian wliHing. lio the rigM are th·e f'ou;rcolumns, so far undeciphered, which Cameron hopes toread from rubber casfings.however, has long been known.To the right of the relief of Darius are four inscribedcolumns which have neither been read nor copied. Theywere proclaimed illegible by Sir Henry Rawlinson, who. attempted the first copying job lOG years ago,The second copying expedition after the intrepid Eng­lish adventurer, Sir Henry, copied the inscription ashe stood on the top rung of a ladder anchored on anIS-incb shelf was made in 1904· under the auspices ofthe British Museum.The same human tenacity that was necessary forRawlinson to stand on the top rung of the ladder will berequired of Cameron when he lowers himself over themountain side. A drop of more than 12 feet at a singledescen t would probably break his back.A cast of the relief and the inscription will be madeby Cameron with a rubber compound. The mold willbe r�ned to facilitate handling on his ascent. Plaster­paris casts will be made from the rubber molds ..The relief, the only photograph of which was takenby Cameron in 1939, shows Darius with his left foot onthe neck of one of his rivals. The photograph was taken.from a cliff which Cameron on his descent learned noman could ever climb.The 1948 expedition to Iran marks the second tripmade by Cameron. A member of the Oriental Institutefaculty since 1933, Cameron is the author of A Historyof Early Iran, and editor of the University's scholarlyperiodical, Journal of Near Eastern Studies" He holds hisMaster's degree (1930) and Doctor of Philosophy degree(1932). from the University of Chicago.19STUDENT ACTIVITIES . IThe, Maroonin talJ grassIT was being noised. about that the Maroon was em­barking on an ambitious expansion 'program thisyear, and since former editors "had usually con­tented themselves with moving the furniture aroundand writing policy statements in the paper, we went, up.to the office to see this thing first hand.Beyond a doubt something was underway. "The in­evitable turmoil was given a certain 'Organized aspectby the numbers of individuals filling out blanks of somesort. Two former editors, having come up just tolook around, were stoutly resisting the attempts of aneager young bureaucrat to force two of the blanks uponthem. (Former editors constitute quite a sizeable por­tion of the student body, there being six on campus andone temporarily In a rest home.)Dave Broder, reigning editor, is a harried-lookingyoung man who moves about with the air of a huntingdog in tall grass. We found him peering anxiouslyover the heads of his assembled staff, and mentioned·to him our reservations concerning the expansion pro­gram.He waved a lank hand. "These are all oldtimers,"he said, "tomorrow we get a hundred more at thebig meeting."We held up the information blank, which we hadbeen asked to' fill out. •"Len Pearson is handling that," said Broder. "Go­ing to find out where all the staff members come fromand send stories to their hometown ,papers about theirworking for the Maroon."'.Pearson, whom we had know while he was on theReynolds Club desk, was evidently in charge of a gen­eral promotion program for the paper.Knowing that past editors' had found it easy to geta large staff but difficult to keep it, we wanted to know. ho� Broder intended to provide work for so many people. -Circulation up 22,0'00Before he could answer, somebody asked him whenthe bulletin was to appear. He winced a, little andsaid Monday in a tentative way. It turned 10Ut thathe plans to issue a Daily Bull�tin on the days ?n which'the Maroon does not publish. Further, Meroon cir­culation, which had hovered around 3,000 since the war,was to be jumped to 25,000. By ARTHUR R. DAYA little calculation showed this to be twice the Uni­versity enrollment, but Broder had an answer to that.He and Jack Mathis, his business manager, have under­taken to circulate the Maroon through the Woodlawnand Hyde Park areas. For better or for worse, localresidents are to be presented with University news andopinion twice a week.Maroon and politicsActually, Maroon rejuvenation has been underway for'a year. Last year's staff was the biggest and best 01'­ganized since the war. There was some criticism, how­ever, that the paper was .devoting too many of itscolumns to the political phase of campus, and national,life. Ed Engberg, editor at the time (he is now withUnited Press), said a cogent thing about U of C ac­tivities when he answered the charge.He pointed out 'that the number of students willingto plug away week after week putting out a paper isvery small indeed at this school; where the attitudetoward the Maroon is anything but one of reverence.However, he chanted, make the paper a battlegroundfor politics and ideology and they flock to join in thefray. Perhaps not in the best journalistic tradition, butnobody has come up with another solution.BACKWARD AND FORWARDInterfraiternity and Injerclub Councils held their annual(for the past two years) get-acquainted dance at IdaNoyes October 2.

He has long ago settled on. a philosophicalsystem; a system, as If'amlet observes, that does. not em­brace everything.The stoicism that is Horatio's escape has no attractionsfa! Hamlet; he could admire it 'but he cannot accept it.For Hamlet has a worldly part to pJay-a part that isforced on him-and he must play this part in a world thathe despises. That, I think, is the focal point of histragedy as it was the impeller of many other tragediesof the early seventeenth century. The pale cast ofthought may sickly o'er Hamlet's ability to act, but act hedoes. No protagonist who sends five. men to their deathsin the course of five acts can be described as a man whosemind has totally paralyzed his arm. True, he is slow toact; he admits. it himself, and we are deep in the thirdact before he kills his first man, but it must be noticedthat Hamlet loses only one chance to run a man through.No, HAMLET'S tragedy does not reside in thefact that he does not act, but that he is forcedto act in. a world that he disowns and against menwho are not of his intellectual proportion. His tragedyis sharpened 'because he has a very dubious faith in theHereafter and only a contempt for the Here. From allof this he- cannot retire. He cannot follow Horatio intostoicism or Claudius into a drunkard's oblivion or Opheliainto true madness. So he knows all of the ennui" all of thedisgust of men who have thought themselves out and havelittle to turn to' save a death they hate. His thoughtson suicide, his convicion that most men are dishonestand most women strumpets, his assurance that all menare evil are symptoms of this disease."I have of .Iate-ebut wherefore I know not-lost all my mirth,forgone all custom of exercise; and indeed it goes heavily withmy disposition that this goodly frame, the earth, seems to me asterile promontory; this: most excellent ,canopy, the air, look youthis brave o'erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted withgolden tire, why it appears no other thing to me than a foul andpestilent congregation of vapours: What a piece of work is man!How noble in reason! How infinite: in faculty, in form and mov­ing! How express: and admirable in action! How like an angel inapprehension! HowIike a god! The beauty of the world! Theparagon of animals! And yet to me, what is this quintessence ofdust?" -This is the way men talk when life has gone stale. Forthe world, as Hamlet says, is what you think it. "Thereis nothing good nor had but thinking makes it so," ForHamlet the world is bad, yet he must playa role inIt,and since he suspects that his acts will breed no real good,he detests his part. So he proceeds to his doom with a'fortitude that is hardly Christian."If it be now, 'tis not to come; if it be not to come, it.will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come; the readi- 21ness is all. Since no man has aught of what he leaves,what is 't to leave betimes."W E HAVE come a long way from the threshold ofPurgatory to the Globe Theater on the Bankside;and in the years that this journey has cost us, wehave watched men turn away from the other-worldliness,the vertical life, of the great Italian to the horizontal life,the this-worldliness, of the clever Elizabethans .. Faith,which once stood soliloquizing on the forestage of men'slives, hides now like a petty player in the tyring-room,while reason, swollen with vanity and applauded by men,gesticulates and rants before the pit. Unfortunately, forthe later Renaissance, the shift in the dramatis personaedoes not make for a pleasanter two hours' entertainment,for reason is a capricious and doubtful player and theparts in which he takes the stage are likely to bring bitter­ness. And so it is by no literary coincidence that Dantecould call his pageant of faith The Divine Comedy,whereas Shakespeare, when he embodied the eventuationof reason in human form, wrote on the title page, TheTragedy of Hamlet.BULBS(Continued from page 13)Actually, it's just as simple to supply the Los Angelesand San Francisco markets with cut flowers from theConley Blossom Farm as -it is Eugene, just across theWillamette River.
