WilloughbyWITH verve and abandon the Univer­sity community celebrated a greatscholarly career and anniversaries of majorimportance through a long week just afterthe middle of October. Midmonth, on thefifteenth, was the' twenty-fifth birthday ofThe New Testament: An American Trans­lation, easily the most influential vernacularAmerican version of any section of theBible. Nine days later, on the twenty-third,was the seventy-seventh birthday of its au­thor, Prof. Edgar J. Goodspeed. Betweenthese two anniversaries, the staff of theUniversity Press, the general public, mem­bers of the University community, and tex­tual scholars in the New Testament fieldregaled themselves with a continuous seriesof most extraordinary celebrations.. Quite na.turally the University Press wasIn charge at the outset, on the Silver An­niversary of the translation itself. TheGoodspeeds arrived from California on theSanta Fe "Chief" on the very day of thequarter-centennial, Friday the fifteenth.That evening Mrs. Goodspeed was hostessto staff members of the Press at a largedinner given in the University Club ofChicago. As always, she was the perfecthostess. The affair recalled vividly annualdinners and holiday dinners and specialdinners which were characteristic andbrilliant features of life at 5706 Woodlawnwhen it was the Goodspeed home. Prof:Goodspeed brought the evening to a light­hearted conclusion with a lively sketch ofthe author-publisher relationships betweenhimself and the University Press through abusy and very productive half-century.Author's Day .Saturday was Author's Day at the FairStore in the Loop. Some five hundred book­lovers were present at Dr. Goodspeed's booktalk. For an hour and a half thereafter theythronged .about ·h.im and kept him busyautographmg copies of the monumentalanniversary edition of The American Trans­lation.On Monday the University Press washost to the general press at a UniversityClub luncheon. Present were book-sectioneditors, feature writers, and religious edi­tors. At the press conference that followed,Director William. T. Couch of the Univer­sity Press frankly acknowledged that he waswell satisfied with the distribution of a nearmillion copies of The American Translationduring its first quarter-century. PresidentCoh�ell of the University vigorously em­phasized the sound scholarly qualities ofthe Goodspeed translation. Professor Good­speec;I himself convulsed his audience byreadmg sample press and editorial com­ments on his work when it was first pub­lished. As he put it: "The news columnsprovided me with a public, and the edi­torials with a cause." The high dramatic�oint of the conference was the presenta­non to Dr. Goodspeed of an especiallybound copy of the anniversary edition, donein blue Nigerian goatskin and hand-tooledin silver. Designed and executed in theextra"binding depar-tment of the -LakesidePress, it was an elegant masterpiece ofsound craftsmanship.Before the PublicThe general public, which has learnedto like the Goodspeed translation andgenuinely delights in his informal essays- not to mention the mystery story-haddiversified opportunities to experience thefascination of the Goodspeed personality.On Sunday morning he shared the historicpulpit of the First Baptist Church in Evan­ston. The following Thursday he was=ra­dio guest of Dr. Preston Bradley of Peo­ple's Church in Chicago on station WGN.Dr. Bradley is One of the influential liberalministers of the country who has used theKing James translation and the American. translation side by side in the services ofhis church. In-radio conversation the min­ister and the professor discussed the ra­ti?nale of the Goodspeed style and tech­mque of rendering Biblical writings intocurrent, common-speech English.On Friday, the twenty-second, Mrs, Good­speed was scheduled to be the radio guestof Elizabeth Hart on station WMAQ. Mostregrettably this broadcast had to be can­celled because of the untimely illness ofMrs. Goodspeed at the very beginning ofthe week, which removed her to the seclu­sion of the Presbyterian Hospital. Thosewho knew of this felt very keenly the mis­fortune involved. For a near half-centurythe Goodspeeds have always been as oneperson in their fully shared activities. HadMrs. Goodspeed been able to participate inthe festivities of the week, her presencewould have added perfection to them. Itis very encouraging to know that she is nowmaking real improvement.University occasions, at which Prof.Goodspeed was the lion of the hour, in­cluded the New Testament Club meetingon Tuesday evening, the Baptist DivinityHouse luncheon 011. Wednesday 1100n, theBaptist Theological Union dinner on thatevening, and the dedication of the Good­spee� Manuscript Collection on Fridayevenmg.Brought Up to DateThere was a singular' quality of appro­priateness to the New Testament Clubmeeting, because it was at a club sessionon February 23, 1920, that it was first pro­posed that Dr. Goodspeed should make avernacular translation of the New Testa­ment. About three years and a half there­after the publication of the translation wasannounced at another meeting of the dub;and at a following session Prof. Goodspeedgave a talk on "The English New Testa­me�t from Tyndale to 1923." That presen­tauon he brought up to date at the meetingof October 19 by discussing "The EnglishNew Testament, 1923 to 1948."On Wednesday evening the Board ofTrustees of the Baptist Theological Uniongave its· annual dinner to the members ofthe. Fe�era�ed Theological faculty of theUniversity m the Green Room of the Uni­versity Club. They signalized the occasionby an honorary citation of Professor Good­speed as the Alumnus of the year. Dr.Goodspeed reciprocated by itemizing hispersonal indebtedness as student and youngfaculty member to the Baptist TheologicalUnion. Since he married the daughter of avery business-like BTU trustee, the debtwas both great and quite personal:Many agreed that the real climax ofthe week was the dedication on Friday eve­ning of the University'S collection of NewTestament manuscripts as the Edgar John­son Goodspeed Collection. President Har­old Higgins Swift of the University'S Boardof Trustees did the honors for the occa-1 sion. In summarizing the overall debt ofthe University to six various members ofthe Goodspeed family, he gave an intimate,home-like atmosphere to the ceremony.Professor Goodspeed was at his mystery­story best in recounting his adventures inassembling the bulk, of the Univerity'sGreek manuscripts. The entire collectionof the New Testament items was in well­arranged display that evening along thewalls of Swift Common Room. It includes41 Greeks, 3 Latins, 13 Armenians, and 3Syriacs: five dozen manuscripts altogether.It is one of the major manuscript collec­tions of America.FinaleThe scholarly finale to the week was aseries of conferences on "New TestamentManuscript Study" that filled Friday andSaturday. It was attended by some seventytextual scholars from all over the UnitedStates and Canada. Papers were read bysuch well known authorities as Del' N erses­sian, Weitzmann, Parvis, Clark, Metzger,Casey, and the Grants, father and son.Professor Allen P. Wikgren was on theprogram, but mid-Atlantic storms preventedhis participation. It is planned to publishthe papers of these sessions as a Festschriftin honor of Professor Goodspeed.This conference series served actually toinaugurate a vast international project for. the creation of an Apparatus Criticus forthe Greek New Testament. Thus the manu­script and textual work, initiated by. E. J.Goodspeed on the Chicago campus in hisstudent days in the nineties, continues intothe future as a scholarly project of vastproportions and fundamental significance.The following interview of ProfessorGoodspeed by Dr. Preston Bradley wasbroadcast over WGN on October 21, .1948.DR. BRADLEY-After a quarter- century,Dr. Goodspeed, this must be an old, oldquestion for you, but will you tell us whyyou determined to translate the New Testa­ment into everyday language?DR. GOODSPEED-I will, Dr. Bradley,but we will have to go back to the turn ofthe century. About the time I finishedgraduate 'Study and went off to do researchin Europe, Egypt and Palestine, new treas­ures of Greek papyri were discovered.There papers, written about the same timeas the earliest Greek manuscripts of theNew Testament, proved that the NewTestament was written in the language ofthe people and purposefully so. It wasnot meant to be literary, or artistic, butplain and simple so that its message mightbe unmistakably clear to all.DR. BRADLEY-And so you set aboutto put the New Testament into languagethat was as clear today?DR. GOODSPEED-Yes. The more Istudied, the more convinced I became thatit was the duty of the Biblical scholar toput his experience and information toservice. I felt that the New Testament mustbe put into language that was understand­able in modern terms.DR. BRADLEY-If I remember rightly,Dr. Goodspeed, not everyone felt as youdid. At this time, about twenty-five years(Continued, on next page)GOODSPEED-(Continued)ago, your translation was stirring up quitea controversy.DR. GOODSPEED - Your memory is'quite accurate, Dr. Bradley. The appear­ance of my translation was quite a shock,especially to those good people who feltthe King James version of the Bible wasthe original documen t, handed down un­changed from generation to generation!DR. BRADLEY - That idea was, ofcourse, far from the truth.DR. GOODSPEED-Of course, but itwasn't easy to change. I travelled 30,000miles each year, lecturing about this verything, and I finally found one sure way ofconvincing them.DR. BRADLEY-What was that?DR. GOODSPEED-Well, before I beganmy lecture, I would set �p the variousearlier translations of the BIble around meon the stage. Then, as I talked, I wouldmove from one to another. They werequite impressed. Often, after I'd finished,they would march up ?n the stage to .takea closer look at the different translations.DR. BRADLEY-Of course, you c�uldcite some examples of the way the BIblehad been altered down through the cen-turies.DR. GOODSPEED - My favorite, .or.Bradley, was to point out that at one timethe simple word "it," I-T, was spe!ledt.welve different ways in the early versionsof the Bible. Then along came Dr. SamuelJohnson with his notion th�t there o�ghtto be just one way of spelling any gIvenword. His "Dictionary" had such an effectthat there were, I'd estimate, no. less t?an80,000 changes in making the BIble rightby Dr. johnson's standa-rds.DR. BRADLEY - Actually, . then, Dr.Goodspeed, the Bible as it h�s come to us,even in the King James version, representsconsiderable changes that have taken placealong the course of centuries.DR. GOODSPEED - Yes, Dr. Bradley,and, inevitably, not all the �hanges werefor the better. A French prmter, RobertEtienne, in the 16th century, for example,wanted a short, convenient unit of, refer­ence and so he set his New Testament as7,959 first paragraphs: .The .first English. New Testament contammg his verses ap­peared in 1557. Then, in 1560, the Genevabible applied the verse arrangement to theOld Testament as well.DR. BRADLEY-And this, you say, wasone of the changes that was not an im­provement?DR. GOODSPEED-Definitely not. Itgot people to reading, and thinking, of. theBible as a series of proverbs or saymgs.The Bible wasn't meant to be read! orunderstood that way, as you know. It hasbeen in the interest of coherence, and ofclarity, that we modern translators haveworked. The books of New Testamentoriginally had value as whoI�s,-they werewritten that way. By restonng the NewTestament to its original form and present­ing it in conversational language, we havesought to make its books more understand­able as books. It is gratifying now, aftertwenty-five years, to see the whole trendof Biblical revision going in this direction.DR. BRADLEY.:...Your contribution tothis trend, Dr. Goodspeed, the pioneeringinfluence of your American translation, Iknow to have been outstanding. All ofus who look on the Bible as a living docu­ment are indebted to you. Thank you forheing with us tonight and for letting ushear first-hand of your work. BOOKSTHE NEW TESTAMENT, An American Trans­lation, T wenty-fiHh Anniversary Edition, byEdgar J. Goodspeed, DB'97, PhD'98, Uni­versity of Chicago Press. $5.00Elsewhere in this issue Harold R. Wil­loughby, PhD '24, Professor of ChristianOrigins and worthy student under Dr.Goodspeed, tells the story of the twenty­fifth anniversary celebration of the Good­speed New Testament.More than a year ago University Press'editor Couch and chief typographer Bau­man began studying type f�c�s and d�­signs for the anniversary edition of thisNew Testament. More sample pages forstudy and criticism were ':pulled" in ad­vance of this book than 111 any volumeprinted by the Press in many a decade.The finished product in every way meetsthe high standards of the Press. The 373-pagle volume is bound in black. ("Sayl­bound") cloth. The moder� Universityseal on the title page was designed by thefamous type and letter designer, War�enChappell (originator of the popular Lydiantype face)., .,The body type, prmted o� Warre� S' OldeStyle antique book paper, IS 12-pomt .1a�­son, designed by Anton Janson of LeIpZIgin 1670. It was selected for its simplicityand readability.The title of each New Testament bookis in Goudy Medieval, based on the TwelfthCentury German manuscript hand. FredericGoudy, dean of American type designers,originated this alphabet in 1930. The faceis so rarely used that the Press had tocomb many Chicago printers' font casesto find it.Each copy of the anniversary editioncomes in a slip case and the whole is bothpleasing and practical.THE WORLD COMMUNITY, The Twenty-thirdtnstitute of the Norman Wait Harris Mem­orial Foundqtioril. edited by Quincy Wright,University of Chicago Press. $5.00When representatives from the many so­cial science disciplines gather to discuss aproblem of complexity and great, signifi­cance, the result is not likely to be, nor is'it intended to be, a concerted plan of ac­tion. The Twenty-Third. Institute underthe Norman Wait Harris Memorial Founda­tion did not produce a blue-print for theachievement of a World Community, butwhat it did produce makes some of themost thought-provoking reading that hasappeared in some time. 'Following the usual pattern of the In­�titutes, the discussions were initiated bythe presentation of papers on the variousphases of the problem, each followed by anexamination -of the subject by all the par­ticipants in open discussion. In these for­ums, always keen, often heated, we havethe invaluable opportunity of watchinghistorians, economists, sociologists, anthro­pologists, psychologists, philosophers, andpolitical scientists attack the same problem,each from his own point of view. Whilethe end result is at times an apparent neu­tralization of solutions, the individualskirmishes along the way are rich in ideasoffered and questions posed.The Institute examines six phases of thegeneral problem in the papers presented.Louis Wirth, of Chicago, attempts a clarifi­cation of the terms involved; MargaretMead, ,anthropologist from the AmericanMuseum of Natural History in New York,discusses world. culture; Kenneth Boulding,economist from McGill University, relatesworld economic contacts and national poli-2 des; Robert C. Angell, sociologist from the IUniversity of .Michigan, speaks of interna­tional communication and the world so­ciety; Harold D. Lasswell, Yale Universitypolitical scientist, discusses world loyalty;and Pitman Potter, political scientist andsecretary of the American Sode�y �f I�ter.national Law, talks about world mstltutIOns.But the general discussions, participatedin by a veritable Blue Book of the SocialSciences, cover a wide range of subjects,touching upon almost every problem of sig­nificance to society. From such concreteconsiderations as the effect of Americanmovies abroad to the more abstract ques·tions of values, consensus and symbolism,very little is left unmentroned. Perhaps itwould be more nearly correct to say thatthe latter are discussed in terms of them­selves as well as in more concrete termsfamiliar to everyone, for one of the morevaluable aspects of the discussion is thebreakdown and analysis of current problemswith the sharp, if somewhat unmanageable,tool of reference to universal principles.Miss Mead's contribution, in particular,is most pungent and stimulating through­out. In her treatment of world culture shecontends that what is necessary to a worldcommunity is a mutual appreciation of allthe varying ways of life existing at onetime, not a uniformity of culture. Shepoints to certain common denominatorswhich already exist, such as the problem ofraising children, common to every culture,and suggests that such similar problems beemphasized rather than the differences inthe ways in which various peoples solvethem.Her presentation, as well 'as that ofmany of the other scientists, is replete withillustrations from her research work. Richin anecdotes and personal reference, thediscussions are intriguing studies of per­sonalities as well as comment on a mostvital subject. Bouldins tor example, blastshis own profession in these terms:"I am rapidly becoming a good middlewestern isolationist, because it seems to methat the old isolationist United States ismuch more an object of love and muchless an object of fear than this enllgh ten ed,progressive, international-looking, interfer­ing, missionary United States that is com­ing out of all this blasted education."Problems of great complexity are attimes reduced to the most vivid terms; forexample, Riesman, of the Un iversjrv ofChicago, suggests why depressions are easierto nreven t than wars:"You get kissed when you go to war, andvou don't get kissed when you go to a flop­house."Dr. Morgenthau, of the University ofChicago, is at his knife-like best, needlingthe discussion occasionally when it sags orstrays too far afield:"I am very much impressed with thisdiscussion, but I have some doubts about'its relevanrv to the problem of a worldcommunity."Those readers in particular who havecome in con tact with any of the social sci­ences at the University of Chicago, willfind a continuous thread of interest in thepersonalities of Chicago professors as theystand revealed in the give and take ofopen discussion.To many, the book will be as discourag­ing as it is provoking, for it clearly demon­strates the great practical weaknesses ofthe social sciences. A single statement byDr. McKeon, of the University of Chicago,sums up one such weakness:"We have chosen a series of terms bymeans of which we hope to simplify thestatement of our problem, only to discoverthat in each set of terms the entire problemand all the ambiguities of its formulation ..can be rediscovered."Even where terms are of less diifficulty,the ultimate lack of resolution and decisionwill dishearten those who come expectingto find the answers. For those, more wise,who seek a clarification of the questions,the record of the Institute will be reward­ing reading.LETTERSSome Get SleepI thought you might be interested inhearing about a sizable group of U. of C.graduates working their way through thefreshman anatomy and histology classes atHarvard Medical School.

December we see the spirit of Christmas that saysto one and all, "It is more blessed to give than toreceive." It is a spirit confined not alone t� neighbor­hoods of comfort and security. In crowded homes, atnursery school, in a lonely room, under well worn coats,that same spirit lives.Perhaps it can be found in nobler form and moreheart-warming action at the University of Chicago Set­tlement than in almost any other part of the University'slife .. True, at this friendly center in the midst of the dis­trict known as "Back of the Yards" there is muchreceiving of gifts provided by the University's students,faculty members, and maintenance workers ... gifts thatmean much to the folk of this neighborhood. Yet, evenin a community where life's comforts are very meag.er,the youngsters, the teen agers, and the older folks notonly receive, but give, in the finest expression of theChristmas spirit.What. will Christmas be like at the University ofChicago Settlement this year? It is not hard to imagine.Let us turn back the calendar, for a moment, to Christ­mas a year ago and we will catch a fascinating glimpse ofwhat Christmas-this Christmas-any Christmas-s-is likein a crowded, poorly housed, conglomerate communityof many nationality strains.YES, quite properly, the story of Christmas a yearago begins with the smallest ones. Many mothers ofthe community volunteered to help the Settlement res­idents take these youngsters' downtown for their a11-important chat with Santa Claus. The street car, ride tothe seldom-visited loop. was an exciting expedition.Sometimes' feeling a small hand in yours was the onlypositive assurance that a child was really down thereburied some place among the passengers.The glitter of the store windows dispelled all thoughtof the cold and it seemed that the children were storingup these fairyland scenes for their hearts to enjoy later.As the children stood outside a department store windowdepicting The Night Before Christmas, one observantBert H. Boerner became head resident of the Se+tle­ment in September, 11945. Ea�JIier he had been with JaneAddams at Hull House end from 1939 until he came tohis present position, he was with the South Chicago Com­munity Center. Bert (a's. everyon.e calls him) took on theSettlement responsibilities at a very difficult period andhas been doing an outstandin9J i,ob since. By BERT H. ,BOERNERlittle girl queried, nose up close to the window, "Whyare the mice sleeping?" But an older boy knowingly con­fided that "everything slept the night before Christmas."Finally they were willing to go into the store and oncethey caught sight of Santa Claus all else was forgotten.Euge�ia, who resembles a fragile Dresden doll, startledSanta when she asked for a freight train. Billy wantedthe .huge sparkling Christmas tree and had to be phy­sically carried away with the. promise that he could helpdecorate the big one at the Settlement next week. (Hehelped all right-each piece of tinsel had to be put onone at a time!) Tommy gave Santa a jolt when he askedfor his beard.BESIDES this trip downtown, the nursery schoolyoungsters prepare for the Christmas season bymaking Christmas cards. Each child takes home to hisparents a card, variously decorated with Christmaswrapping paper, hand-made Christmas trees, and cutout seals. One little fellow couldn't contain all the hap­piness inside himself and suggested that everybody sing"Jingle Bells." After innumerable choruses, a thoughtfulItalian lad declared he'd like to sing a "quiet" Christmassong. Grubby faces, pastey fingers, and shrill little voicesgave "Silent Night" a new solemnity. Then, each clutch­ing his card, the youngsters left-with something to' giveto Mom and Dad.The pig-tail and box top crowd look different some­how at Christmas. All year they have been streamingthrough the front doors of the Settlement toward theactivity rooms, but now they're near to bursting from allthe excitement and activity. "Hey, teach! Look at thedecorations we got!" The boys and girls knock on thewindow if their favorite Settlement worker doesn't seethem right away. A little girl shyly leaves a picture of afir tree which she painted; another slips a homemadeChristmas card in a desk; and still another pushes atteacher a brown paper sack which holds a package ofgum. "Here!" she says, and dashes from the room.Yes, everyone is giving to someone and our 'phones arebusy with generous offers. "Merry Christmas. We'd liketo give some toys to your children." "Can you use somewarm clothes P" And the Settlement staff accepts themall as they are intended.TEEN agers, too want to give. Irresponsible? Selfish?­Not these. young people, back of the yards. They,. too, are eager to assume responsibility and share in theSettlement spirit. Many of them work part-time or after56 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEschool. They don't have much money, but decide to givea party for "the little kids." The laundry room is trans­formed the week before the party, and residents, staffand all the boys and girls are busy wrapping and tagginggifts for the affair.The teen agers also participate in a quiet activity aboutten days before Christmas when all the high school boysand girls gather for the "hanging of the greens." Theydon't make much noise but seriously go� about the taskof decorating the Settlement.There's the big tree in the living room always placedbeneath the picture of Mary Mcfrowell, whose whole lifeThe portrait of Mary McDowelli founder and guiding spiraof the Settlement, ha.ng,s ,albove the IHtie Ch'risd'mas shrine.was so much a part of the history and tradition of the,University of Chicago Settlement. Several boys and girlsarrange the figures of the creche-the same figures thatyear after year have been used to symbolize the nativityscene. How many young hands have studied just wherethey should be placed!In the girls' gym is, a huge tree where the Christmasprogram and distribution of the gifts will he held in aweek.

Soonthe group is singing a medley of Christmas carols.AT last it is the day of the. big party. Ev:ryone isbusy. Teen agers help line up the children toreceive their gifts. Boys and girls pass out gifts toyounger children. Parents, most of whom a few hoursago were working in the great packing plants of Chi­cago's stock yards, assist the very young ones to untiethe gay packages and ribbons. Toys, warm clothes,and foodstuffs are finding real places of 'service.But the party is not just for young folks. There areoldsters, as well. Old men in thin coats smile happilyas they receive gifts. How grateful they are for jellies andjams which they take away to their small, lonelyrooms. But even here, the giving is not all one way.These kind old people give us younger ones advice,history, and hope. They tell of their first experiencesat the Settlement, of the problems the communityfaced in its most dense Jungle days, of the progress andthe defeats the people have known. They give thisSettlement its setting, its prestige, its place in the longscheme of things . . . this group of elderly men andwomen who have lived. through the complete gamutof human tragedy.But as we began this p-limpse into the Christmasseason at the Settlement by thinking of little children,let us end in like manner. Their smiles and laughterlinger in our memories. There lingers, too, the memoryof Bobby who stood in the line waiting for his gift.His three sisters and four brothers also waited. Thefather, a widower who worked in the packing house,nodded his, head approvingly as the children received'their gifts. Only Bobby didn't show the customaryenthusiasm, one of the residents noted. His Christmaspackage held a pair of wool gloves and a white woolcap to match.The worker asked him if he wasn't happy with hispresents. Bobby smiled weakly and softly said, "They'reswell."The day after Christmas the worker saw Bobby. Hewas wearing his new white cap and. Bambi, his youngestsister, was wearing the gloves. In reply to how Santahad treated him, Bobby declared, "Swell. We had achicken to eat and I got a white cap and Bambi gota pair of gloves."Then we remembered that Bambi had not been atthe party. She had been ill and that was why Bobbyfelt bad. He had been too proud to ask for anothergift at the party. Instead" he shared his.Yes, that was last Christmas at the University ofChicago Settlement. Again, this year, all of us backof the yards will be able to give, to teach the spiritof giving to one another, because you have given to us.ONE MAN'S OPINIONRevivingthered huntFor some time the auguries have portended a resump­tion of the pressure-group kind of red hunting, whenunder the self-assumed vestiges of patriotism there is acarnival of character assassination. There' was such aperiod about 1922, after the first World ws-. with aresurgence that hit the University in 1935 in the fiascoof the so-called Walgreen investigation by the statesenate. The conditions for renewal have seemed evenmore promising since the end of the last conflict" for theexistence of the cold war gives a stronger appeal to thecry of ferreting out the reds-the people who don't agreewith you.In the last few years the most vociferous practitionersof the art of witch hunting, as distinguished from legi­timate efforts to preserve security, have been the membersof the House Un-American Activities Committee. Therealso have been some attempts by committees of statelegislatures to share in the headlines, as in Colorado andMichigan. The senate of the Illinois Assembly appointeda committee, which is to report to the session openingin January, but so far this group has gone about itsbusiness quietly, with no sensational charges.The Un-American Activities. Committee, which hasbeen saying that its efforts are directed toward safeguard­ing the "secret" of the atomic bomb, announced thatafter the national elections it would start investigatingsubversive activities in the col1eges and universities. Thiswas standard JDrocedure; it was sure to be productive ofplenty of news space.In its protection of the bomb this summer the Com­mittee glanced off the University, although it did notdirectly impugn the loyalty 0] any member of the Uni­versity, or the University's conduct of the tremendouswartime activity which led to the bomb.Some of the. news coverage of its "revelations." cer­tainly tended to confuse the distinction between therevelations of spying and the University's integrity. Suchconfusion ,is the natural and inevitable result of the waythe Committee has operated, and it has certain advan­tages. The Committee thereby has another means ofdiscrediting without any responsibility. All the furor. thissummer was old stuff; it had been previously reportedpublicly, or it was obviously rehashing of irregular ac­tivity detected during the war by the F. B. 1. and otheragencies, and acted upon.At this moment, it IODks as if the surprise package of By WILLIAM V. MORGENSTERN, 120, JD '22November 2 will put a quietus on the Committee for thetime being. Two of its members, Mr. MacDowell 'OfPennsylvania, and Mr. Vail, of the University's own dis­trict, were defeated for re-election. Mr. Thomas, unfor­tunately, survived" but he seems to be having troubles ofhis own that will occupy his attention.Though the election and the attitude it reflected willimpede the Committee Dr its revised personnel, the re­spite is not likely to be permanent. Some Democrats aswell as some Republicans find the role of savoir of thecountry highly exhilarating. As the "Walgreen investiga­tion" demonstrated, this tendency to smear lies latentfor a long time, and bursts out suddenly.There is no real defense against this irresponsible kindof activity. Universities are particularly vulnerable to it,in direct proportion to the significance and independenceof their work. It is now wen established that an unfoundedassertion that an individual or an organization is a Com­munist is libel per se. Even that does not give a reallypractical remedy for a university against the Dilling typeof operation. Legislative bodies are immune; what theysay-and they can say practically anything in their offi­cial capacity-is privileged. They don't have to proveanything. They don't even have to give the accused ahearing. And what they say in their official capacity can, be broadcast and printed without liability.The experience of the University in the Walgreen in­vestigation is a sufficient illustration of the lack of ef­fective defense. There was not one fact given in all thehearings, let alone any evidence that would be admissablein any court, to prove that the University had 'engagedin l"Oommun�st indoctrination." The report of the com­mittee declared there was no evidence. But a lot of peoplestill think, because of the publicity given the hearing, thatthe University was allied with Moscow. In such cases \itis the indictment, not the judgment, that is conclusive.Even the fact that the University has vigorous, able,and courageous leadership, in a measure not generallyprevailing, is not too significant. Such leadership wouldenable the University to make the effort necessary to con­vinee any reasonable individual of the frivolity of theattack. But not everyone is reasonable and rational, par­ticularly under the stresses of the times which make witchhunting attractive and possible. Certainly everyone hasa stake in preventing irresponsible elements from attack­ing the universities. As such attacks impair the ability of, the universities to continue their work they will directlyimpair the strength of the country, for what many of theuniversities are doing and must continue to do for it canbe done by no other agency.7The Czech's are Ili,ke a treeWHEN THE STORM COMESthey bend/ but do not breakBy George K ynclTHERE was still freedom in Prague that summer of1947. People discussed politics freely and frequentlyon the streets. The four leading newspapers, theorgans of the four political parties, daily traded blowsthrough the press. But the average Czech was alreadyfeeling the tension of the widening gulf between the Eastand the West.The thinking Czech was confused. And as he sat withhis friends drinking beer in the hostinec, he voiced his con­fusion. What was the Marshall Plan? What could it havedone for him? Why didn't the Russians let him take part?What were the Communists' intentions? Could he be­lieve the sensational exposes of bourgeois plots published. in the Rude Praoo, official organ of the CommunistParty? Could he believe the Western press in its' warningsabout the dictatorial nature of the Communist govern­ment? Here the Communist Party was the leading partyin the government and here, too, was freedom.In those days there was little talk of war. The memoryof liberation by the Red Army was still strong in theDuring, irhe fateful year1947-1948, the author wasin Czechoslovakia study­ing at Charles UllIiiversity,'looking up relatives hehad never me;t (.his parentsare' Czech-born), and see­ing for himself the test­hillbe experiment with asynthesis of East andWest. On the Midway nowfor his M.A. in Interna­tional Rela+lons, at 23,his is an unusual record:B.A. f,rom Central Michi­gan, Navy electronics of­ficer in the war, andwriter of verse, mind of the Czech people. They were more than willingto give the Communists a trial. . They had translated theirelation into action by their votes giving 'the Communiststhe greatest plurality of any party in the country.The tenseness of the international scene had its effectson the Czech people that fall and early winter but therewere more immediate problems to he faced. The droughthad necessitated shorter rations. The impatience of theCommunists at any expression of political difference wasgrowing. Their impatience became noticeable in the ex­tremes to which they went in their press and in their.actions. And by their extremes, they began to alienate alarge segment of their former support.The first significant indication that there was anyserious turning away from the Communist Party camein early February in the elections to the Student Union,the governing body of the Czech students. The Com­munists came in third, falling behind the National Social­ist Party (right-wing party believing in limited socialismand not to be confused with the Nazi Party of the Hitlerera) and the Peoples Democratic (Catholic) Party. Thereal import of the outcome of the election was that thestudents, who long have been considered one of the main­stays of the Czech democratic faith, were registering theirprotest to the leading party in the government.Inthe face of such loss of popularity, the CommunistParty's choice of action became of vital concern to theaverage Czech who could still speak his mind, choose hisown newspapers, and support his own candidates. Wouldthey allow a free election? In the tense Cold War, wouldthey allow the teetering Czechs to swing to the West? Orwould they stage a putsch in an attempt to gain completecontrol?Very soon the answer began to appear. I read inthe newspapers the statement of the Minister of Infor­mation who said the workers could not afford to take the8These were not Germans, but Czechs who streamed to the Old Town Square before the statue of Jan Hus.students' protest lying down. It became increasingly diffi­cult for me to find my aunt at home. Communist Partyactivity had been stepped up and she was president ofthe party group in her section of Prague.THEN, one week before the February crisis, Zapotecky,the leader of ROH, (Revolutionary Trade UnionMovement) issued a 'Call for a special meeting the fol­lowing Sunday in order to discuss how the country couldbe placed on a faster road to socialism: There seemedbut one way in which the Czechs could move down thatroad any more rapidly.'In the midst of all this tension, the twelve oppositionministers in the cabinet resigned to protest the Communistattempt to pack the police force. Then came the bigquestion, would President Benes call for new elections?The graver one, would he be able to?On Friday, February -20., the Communists called for amass public demonstration on the pretext of garneringsupport against an "impending reactionary revolution."The radios in the- homes and the loudspeakers in thestreets blasted away late into the night, calling on everyloyal Czech to attend. The meeting was scheduled for thefollowing morning in Old Town Square and Prime Minis­ter Gottwald was to speak.That Saturday morning, the sun tried hard to piercethe hazy sky. The cold air nipped at my fingers andears. As I crossed the bridge, I watched the patches of icemerge on the slowly flowing' Vltava. The frigid settingwas in contrast to the drama about to unfold.From all parts of the city, I could see the workersstreaming to the square. The flag of the Czech Republicand the red and yellow flag of the ROH waved at thehead of one procession. Behind the leaders of this pro­cession, group after group of workers fell in until therewas a line as far back as I could see.The workers came in answer to the calls of their leaders. Weekly propaganda and organizational meetings hadgone before. With their caps pulled down over their ears,their brief-cases under their arms, they trudged on to fita specifically designed pattern. They had only to hear theword.On the whole, they were a friendly lot.vSometimes; be­cause of the narrowness of the streets, I had to crass intotheir rank. The marchers would jovially signal me to getin line.When I reached the Square, it was already packed witha crowd of some 30,000 and they were still pouring in.From a balcony draped by the ,flags of the Czech Republic, and the Communist Party the speakers soon began theirtirade.With Gottwald's appearance, a great shout went up.Wildly waving his arms in the air, he screeched into themicrophone appeals to the workers to unite behind theparty's efforts to save the country from "another Munichplot."At the given signal, (furnished by such words as"brother Russians," "Stalin," "Russian liberators,") thecrowd would interrupt with animated cheers of "LongLive Gottwald! Long Live Gottwald!" Beside me, a littleman in tattered gray suit jumped high in the sky as hejoined in the chant. As the rythmic chant was picked upby the crowd, fists pumped the air in the Communistsalute.As I stood there shivering in the cold, I thought of simi­lar scenes in the past, of Hitler's voice coming over theradio, of another background of organized shouting byan enthusiastic, hypnotized mob.But these were not Germans. They were Czechs. Thesewere Czechs, who in their hatred for the Nazi ideologyhad succumbed to another, similar in its extremes; Czechsbrought up in a democratic tradition who could nowstand before the statue of Jan Hus and mock his wordscarved in stone, "Love truth."910 THE UNIVERSITY 'OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEIT would be un­true to say thatthe man on the streetwas unhappy at thathour. I could readthe exultation of themasses in the lone­toothed grin of thepeasant woman Ipassed as lIef t thesquare. Everywheregroups were gather­ing to talk over thespeech. I t was an"after the first gameof the World Series'; The man on the street.excitement. The Communists had won the first game.But, what about the next?Saturday night was surprisingly calm in Prague. Theopposition newspapers urged the people to be calm, toavoid violence. One huge poster read, "Be calm, nothingwill happen." The non-communists had placed their faithon the man in the castle, ailing President Benes. He hadpulled them through so much before. Certainly, he wouldnot fail them now.Sunday was the day of the scheduled trade union con­gress. A case of frostbite from the day before influencedmy decision to cover this event by radio."Hitler, he is still living, only he has learned to speakCzech!" exclaimed one of the students listening to thebroadcast with me. Zapotecky outdid Gottwald as hesnarled into the microphone ungrammatical references tothe "manure piles of the bourgeoisie." He called for thedissolution of the cumbersome courts and for their re­placement by a streamlined, up-to-date judicial systemto serve the workers' interests. The Communist intentionswere now clear.Monday and Tuesday I spent on the streets. Peoplestopped joking about the turn of events as they lookeddown the muzzles of machine guns set up at all the majorintersections. Democratically-minded Czechs began torealize that they had already lost the first game and thatthey were in danger of losing the others as well.These were days ,of demonstrations and counter-demon­strations. The only organized demonstrations by anti­communists were carried on by the students. Late inthe afternoon the workers came out of the factories andpushed the students off the street with their demonstra­tions. One of them I remember particularly well. Agroup of workers following a loudspeaker truck wasmoving down on the main offices of Svobodne Slovo(Free Word), the leading opposition paper in Prague.Their harmers read: "Promptly and surely, the Free,Word shall be silenced." The slogan came in scratchingtones over the loudspeaker and the crowd was quick torepeat it. Knowingly or not, very promptly and surely,they helped kill the free word in Czechoslovakia. The Communist plan for the putsch went over onschedule. From the start they controlled the radio. Theysilenced the last mouthpiece for the opposition when theyseized control of the newspapers and staffed them withtheir own men. Communist-dominated action committeesseized control of all of the industries and of all the socialand cultural institutions of the country. Counter-demon­strations were quickly curbed by Communist police armedwith machine guns and aided by workers wearing theCommunist arm band. Benes, cut off from his people, wasforced to yield. Wednesday was victory day for the Com�munists. I t had taken less than a week.PEOPLE stopped talking politics on the streets. Intheir homes they spoke freely only to trusted friends.Once again, as they had done in the years before, windowswere closed, curtains drawn, and doors locked before turn­ing on the Voice of America or HBC. The broadcasts hadnot been outlawed, but it was better to be safe. Thebroadcasts furnished the main source of internally un­controlled information for many of these people.The atmosphere at the University changed noticeably.Professors who had been known to be anti-communistwere sent on "extended leave." Students were beingscreened to test their loyalty to the workers' cause. Fre­quent and long lists were published announcing the namesof those students who had been expelled from school bythe Student Action Committee for "questionable" politicalbeliefs.If, this was a "People's Democracy" it was a de­mocracy of a new kind. Factory bulletin boards soondisplayed signs with such announcements as, "Theworkers in this factory are hereby ordered to volunteerfor a brigade this Sunday at the Klement GottwaldMine.".People were not always thrown in jail for expressinganti-communist beliefs. First, because there were notenough jails. More important, there was a subtlerand more effective mode of punishment. The accusedwas placed on leave from his job and branded aspolitically unreliable. With this mark on his record,he could only secure work as a manual laborer.The tragic chain of events which was to do much toeffect the future of the Czech republic did not endwith the February coup.Masaryk's sudden' death added to the growing anguishof the Czechs. The rumor of his death spread widelythrough Prague. There were stunned and unbelievingfaces as the terse announcement came finally over theradio. Did ·he jump, or was he pushed? The Com�munists said he jumped. Others wondered. Anotherquestion troubled the Czech conscience.Everywhere the flag of the Czechoslovak Rep�blicwes lowered to half-mast. In the store windows ofPrague, pictures of. "Honza" appeared, each with ablack ribbon across the corner. In one window therewas a painting of a tree in the forest which hadbroken in a storm. It is often said of the Czech peopleTHE UNIVERf)ITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 11that they are very like a tree. When the storm comes,they bend but they do not break. They resist until thestorm passes, then they rise again. One of the treeshad fallen. It had been made to bend too far.FRIDAY noon I made my visit to the Cernin Palace.A long winding queue of people waited outside.There were women in black carrying boquets of lilies,workers with armfuls of red tulips, and children withbunches of wild flowers. They came from all. walks oflife to joint in a last farewell to a man they loved,and who loved them in return. They were not Commun­ists or Socialists or Catholics. They were Czechoslovaks.On Saturday Masaryk was laid to rest beside hisfather in' Lany. Ironically, it was the Communist DeputyForeign Minister Vladimir Clementis who spoke wordswhich caught the spirit of a mourning people:He left us in times which are not happy for the promotersof understanding among nations. As a born mediator and one whosought agreement, he did not hesitate in these times to standup and denounce sharply the growing evil in the world. Ourpeople will continue .to walk in his footsteps, strengthened bythe Masaryk confidence that truth and good shall prevail inthe whole world.The democratic sensibilities of a people alreadyweighed down by the hard realities of life since thecoup were in for still more shocks in the months ahead.The elections to be held the last Sunday in May wereto be "secret" elections in which it was possible todetermine how everyone voted. The voter had thechoice of filing a slip with the name of a government­backed candidate or white ticket with. a big black cross.The only campaigning done was for the govern­ment-sponsored slate. "He who votes a white ticket is atraitor to his nation," and "White ticket voters areinviting back Munich" were typical slogans.On election day the voter had the added choiceof voting either ·secretly or openly. In one pollingplace in Prague the electorate was helped by a signreading, "Those who want to vote the white ticket,go behind the screen."They had only to heer the word. Czechoslovakia has a compulsory voting law. Despitethe social and political pressure against registering whatwas merely a protest vote, the opposition cast overten per cent of the total vote. Many people believedthe percentage should have been higher and reasonedthe results were "adjusted" to this respectable showingin much the same way as the totals in the "free"elections held in Eastern Europe were counted. (Thereis the charge that the final percentages of oppositiontabulated by the adding machines in the East show aremarkable conformity in every election.)In the year I spent in Czechoslovakia, I saw a countryin the throes of an agonizing revolution in thought.People still had hope in August 1947. The- future wasnot without problems, but Masaryk and Benes werestill there to lead them. By the summer of 1948, theywere a people without hope. Masaryk was dead andBenes was ailing.BEFORE the revolution, there was talk of peace. Eventhe non-communists looked hopefully at the Wal­lace movement in the United States, Some comparedWallace to the older Masaryk. They saw him as the in­tellectual and the idealist, who when the time for thehard decision came.. would have the courage to make it.Few of these people expected him to acquiesce with. what had taken place in Czechoslovakia. After therevolution, his popularity was confined primarily tothe Communists in the country.When I left in June, there was talk of war. Manywere willing to. risk death for the chance once againto. be politically free. ]n their dilemma, their heartsturned to the West, but their minds were confused.America as democracy's last hope' appeared in ambig­uous lights. The Ministry of Information with itspropaganda and selected truths was making that greathope even more obscure.In the newsreels, the Ministry was careful to includeonly the most incriminating items of American life.I remember most vividly the short �howing Hollywoodactors testifying before the House Uri-American Ac­tivities Committee. The translations of their speecheswere accurate. A more effective choice for Communistpropaganda against civil liberties in America couldnot be found. The scenes of police clubbing" strikersat the Wall Street Exchange added to the Czechs'.honest confusion.The Czechs, even those who hope a war will setthem free, are plagued by still another fear-the fearof the million-odd Germans who had been deported.They remember their treatment by the Germans whentheir land was invaded before. They know what to. expect, if they should return."When the storm comes, they. bend, but they do notbreak." Each Czech was asking: Would the legend last?STUDENT ACTIVITIESAcro-adagiio tointricete strainsFor so�e few years .now there has been a group ofpeople at the University known to students and faculty,and a -not inconsiderable segment of the general public,as Acrotheater, gymnasts extraordinary. .Child of the energies and imagination of Gymnasticcoach Bud Beyer, Acrotheaier had its small and anony­mDUS beginning in 1945 as a troupe 'Of eight boys andgirls WhD specialized in doing adagio work in chorus-like', concert.

In Mason's own words, "Intercollegi­ate atheletic should become more thoroughly the climaxof a more general participation within the student body."And truly, the interest in athletics during his administra­tion prospered.In November of 192.5 the first Annual Alumni Home­coming took place on the occasion of the Chicago-Dart­mouth game.

Stu­dent organizations and activities soon changed both inname and in fact; a Board of Student Organizations,Publications and Exhibitions was formed, consisting of10 members of the faculty and administration, 2 alumni,and 9 students. The Undergraduate Council was changed, to' a strictly political group, dropping class organization'and stopping those activities "not compatible with theprogressive ideals of a new administration." A Board of1314 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEDramatic and Musical Organizations came into existence,including the Dramatic Association (Gargoyles, Tower­Players, Mirror) and .Blackfriars.In 1930 International House was built for "the im­provement of the social, intellectual, spiritual and physi­cal conditions of men and women from any other land,and without discrimination because o£ religion, national­ity, race, color and sex, who are studying in the univer­sities, colleges and professional schools of Chicago and.> .. '" - .vrcmity.At this time, all-campus activities were extremelyfew" being limited to dances and infrequent carnivals.Fraternity parties-s-there were 32 fraternities, as com­pared with the present 13-numbered sometimes twentya weekend, with as many dub affairs. "U" Dances,now called "'0" Dances, were initiated in the ReynoldsOJub. The Undergraduate Council investigated: "ob­scenity" in Phoenix Magazine, worked on better lightingfor Harper, plugged improved parking facilities, andsponsored a "retl;'rn the hooks you swiped from Harper'sweek." At this time a Graduate Student Council wasformed, which limited itself to academic matters.The year 1931 marked the entry of the radical "newpian':' in education. It also represented a time of manysocial chang-es on campus. The College advisory systemwas strengthened. The young Board of Student Organiza­tions, Publications and Exhibits was abolished, as wasthe Undergraduate Council. Instigated by the Adminis­tration, under President Hutchins and Dean Works, anew Student Committee on Student Affairs was created,including three non-voting faculty members, two juniors,and four Seniors. The purpose of the new committee wasto coordinate undergraduate activities' through four sub­sidiary boards: Women's organizations, Publishers, Dra­matic and Musical organizations, and a new StudentSocial Committee. In 1931 the Student Settlement Board.was also organized.Rise before the fallThe new plans in education and the drastic reorganiza­tion in student organizations created a sudden upsurgein class spirit, due also to temporarily successful footballseasons and active Freshman and Senior classes in 1931-33.During this time fraternities declined in numbers andimportance, because of financial difficulties and the gen­eral impotence of the I-F Council. In its- early period,before tapering off to the conduct of C-Dances., the Stu­dent Social Committee became the 'leader of social activi­ties, managiag high school days at the University,checking the scheduling and chaperoning of fraternityand organizational parties, Tuesday afternoon mixers fornew students, Student-Faculty teas on Wednesday after­noons, a student art exhibit, and arranged chamber musicprograms.The fall of 1934· saw an increasing upsurge of spiritaround football ; pep meetings were frequently held at theG-Bench and in the Circle. In 1935 men were for thefirst time brought into Ida Noyes activities. Still hanging in the Reynolds Club barber shop are theplaques inscribed with the names of yesteryear's winnersin t!he senior mustache race. Jay Berwanger, '36, didn'twin that year but it was a mighty close shave.UpswingThe year 1936 brought an abrupt change in socialactivities at the University. Since the inauguration ofPresident Hutchins' policy had made extensive socialactivities difficult, 1936 stressed new interests of theChicago student body, focusing attention on the so-calledWalg,reen investigation and on the active part played bythe University in the Roosevelt-Landon election.By 1938 social activities somewhat increased with amore active Reynolds Club Council presenting variousactivities. The two years prior to W orId War II wererather quiet ones for social activities, which had beenadversely affected by the circumstances leading to thecessation of varsi ty football in 1939; in 1941 there was abrief return to social gaiety with the celebration of theUniversity's Fiftieth Anniversary. With the war andmore than four years of a campus almost devoid of menand crammed with war research, social activities cameto a near-stop. Thus, after the war, the Universityachieved its greatest size and highest activity in research.Fraternities were the fewest since the University's start,and almost all of the hundreds of previous organizationsthat had existed were gone. Athletics were also in apoor position, with championship days gone except forminor sports.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEThe Reynolds Club .qDuncil had decayed to nothing­ness; the Ida Noyes Council occasionally assisted theIda Noyes staff in teas and infrequent social affairs.During this time, with an increased interest in worldaffairs, student publications began to turn more andmore to political concerns. Religious groups, compen­sating partly for the lack of social activities, increasedtheir activities and scope.With a large student body, individual interests startedto make themselves known; the Student Forum, Renais­sance' Society, and musical organizations became espe­cially active. A Student Association came on the scenebriefly to form a financial basis for successful and inte­grated student activities. The Student Assembly was thenformed to represent the varied interests of the studentbody, although the Assembly took primary .interest inpolitical activities and student needs of a non-recreationalnature. Social activities' on campus began to be aided bya better functioning dormitory system.December 9, 1946, can be named as a turning pointin social activities at the University of Chicago. Priorto that time, student social activities other than those ori­ented around football had been carried out by fraterni­ties or at big dances two or three times a year. Withthe merger of the Ida Noyes and Reynolds Club Councilin a Student Union to "sponsor, integrate, and expandthe social, cultural, and recreational activities of theUniversity of Chicago, to the end of achieving a moreenjoyable and meaningful life for the University com­munity," the "all-campus" phase of social activities reallybegan.For the first time diverse recreational interests wereconducted for all students regardless of other affiliations. 15With a wide range 'Of activities including dances, hikes,exhibits, tournaments, trips, discussions, concerts, carni­vals, etc., Student Union rose in scope and attendancequite amazing, until now, still on the upsurge, it over­whelms all other campus social activities at a 10-1 ratio.In its rapid expansion Student Union has brought intoits make-up the Student Social Committee, the OutingClub, and the Orientation Board (which had been formedin 1943 from orientation committees}. The program,aimed at the creation of unity and understanding of theUniversity and the supplementing of Chicago's part inthe enrichment of life, has brought in more studentsthan any previous social organization. on the campus­more than 65,000 in 14 months.While student social organizations-of which StudentUnion is a prime example-may continue to flourish,they may just as easily fall to depths of disuse and fail­ure .. At Ohicago there is no pattern or dependence on atrend; the startling innovation is to be expected. Sincesocial activities cannot by their nature 'exist in a worldapart, their future condition will rest with: other deter­minants. TOo some degree social activities win be whatthe student body wants-this has always been partly so,depending upon student interest, participation, ambitionand initiative. Other determinants cannot be controlledby the student body; the policy and personality of theAdministration, the status of a world relating its manyproblems to research and science, and the strong demands 'of an educational system requiring increasing intellectualand scholastic efforts. To these serious aspects of Uni­versity existence the additional human components ofa happy and richer life will necessarily be in some wayrelated.In all the years of the I-F Sing it rained only once. Andthen. just as the crowd was comforfahly seated in the FieldHouse, the moon came out to perpetuate a 38-year-oldlegend.MARION T·ALBOTMarion Talbot, Chicago's first dean ofwomen and Professor Emeritus of House­hold Administration, died at her home,5758 Kenwood Avenue, Wednesday, Oc­tober 20, 1848, at the age of ninety.Dean of the UniverseIn 1893, when. Marion Talbot's six-year­old niece, Margaret, announced to. pas­sengers on the train bound for the ChIC�gOColumbian Exposition that she was gomgto Chicago to visit her aunt who wasDean of the World's Fair, mother inter­rupted in the interests of accuracy. Butthe young lady brok� in to correct her ow�error. Auntie wasn t Dean of the World sFair; she was Dean of the Universe.Actually Margaret's statement was headedtoward the truth. Marion Talbot was thefirst officially titled dean of women .in a�1Yuniversity in the univers�, at a unrversitywhich, before the twentieth century, hadradically appointed wo�en to top facultypositions in a co-educational school.President Harper, impressed with theneed' of a woman to advise and supervisewomen in. his new University, with newfreedoms for women, wen t in search of­what he planned to call - � dean ofwomen.Alice Freeman Palmer, former presidentof Wellesley, was his choice. But. Mrs.Palmer' did not wish to leave her husband,professor of philosophy at Harvard, fornine months of each year',' nor did her hus­band wish to accept the chairmanship ofour department -of philosophy, which Har­per offered as the sol ution.Woman in man's worldMrs. Palmer did, however, agree to spendtwelve weeks each year, on the quadranglesproviding she could bring Marion Talbotto fill the full time job under Mrs. Pal­mer's supervision. To this Dr. Harperagreed.Marion was a young lady of no meantalents in her own right. She was bornin Switzerland at the time when herfather was studying medicine abroad. Hewas later dean of the medical school atBoston University where Marion earneda Bachelor's and a Master's Degree beforecontinuing work for a science degree atMassachusetts Institute of Technology.What to do with all this knowledge. ,�asMarion's next problem. She was living 1858 -1948in a world where careers for women werelimited to clothes, Italian langauge lessons,grand balls, and early marriages.Women should not attend college be­cause: I-it would destroy the grace an�charm inherent in young wome!l; 2-:-Itwould ruin their health; and 3-theIr brainswere not equal to it.Birth of A.A.U.W.On an afternoon in October, 1881,mother Talbot was pondering these tabooswhen there was a knock at the door .. Itwas Alice Hayes; a Vassar' graduate. Allee,too, had been. worrying ab.out a �areerother than marriage or teachmg a pnmarygrade in Cambridge.At that moment mother Talbot had aninspiration. Marion was called from herroom and the three women began planswhich were to lead to the organiza�ion .ofthe American Association of UniversityWomen.Known originally as the Association ofCollegiate Alumnae (it became A.A.V.W.in 1921), this organization set o'-!t to breakdown those . obstacles confronting youngwomen in their determined efforts to enteruseful occupations. They wanted equalopportunities for women.Later, in Chicago, Marion Talbot was tomarch beside her lifetime friend, Sophon­isba Breckinrldge, in women sufferage pa­rades and participate in other activiti.es tobring about recognition of women's rights.There was never a rule-relaxing momentduring the days Dean Talbot sat as, im­partial judge and director of women s af­fairs. But she was just as alert in protect­ing her women from double seandards andfrequently went directly to the Presidentto argue points where men appeared tohave advantages which should also begranted to women.The Dean and the ArmyEVen the army did not escape. Duringthe first world war, when an officer train­ing unit was housed on the. qua�rangles,Lexington Han was used for mess. Be­cause all the men. could not be accommo­dated at one sitting, some squads were leftto sit on the curb for the second call.16 It was unfortunate that Beecher Hallwas directly across the streetl As Marion'told it: "Sitting on the curb gave nooccupation except to stare up at BeecherHall. As this was the time of day whenthe women students were rising, they hadto do some gymnastics to roll out of bed,creep along the floor in their night clothes,and do some sleight of hand to get thewindows closed without being seen by theUnited States Army."Dean Talbot changed thisl At her re­quest, the commanding officer ordered �ewaiting units to face east on the oppositecurb!Following her retirement in 1925, MissTalbot served as acting president of theConstantinople Womens College in 1927-28and again in 1931-32. She was honoredwith LL.D. degrees from three institu­tions: Boston and Tulane universities and'Cornell College, in Iowa.Still her UniversityDuring her retirement Miss Talbot livedwithin a block or so of her University.Alive to every changing policy, ed?cationalor extracurricular, she never hesitate.j toexpress herself pro or con, in person orby letter, to any officer or faculty memberfrom the Chancellor down. After all itwas still her University.She was quick to correct errors of fact inthe MAGAZINE, again because it was herUniversity and her magazine and for bothshe coveted perfection. She once wrote,correcting an editorial error: "Please don'tmind if I am after you with a sharp stick.For I am cordially yours .... "As she approached ninety, Marion Talbotwas seen less and less at University func­tions and at dinner in the QuadrangleClub. Her health and hearing were fail­ing. On these rare public occasions shewas invariably with her dearest friend,Sophonisba Breckinridge. The passing ofthis devoted friend, three months less tendays before her own passing, must have lefta grea t void in the closing days of MarionTalbot's life.The sharp stick will be n? more: Uni­versity officers and faculty WIll recerva nomore devoted directives; women win taketheir rights for granted; but Marion Tal­bot will live, on as one who helped tomake the University great.BELOW: Dean Marion'Talbot in 1915.

He was glad tohave support from the College.Goodspeed ManuscriptsAt the two-day Conference on New Testament Manu­script Study climaxing a week of honors and acclaimfor Edgar J. Goodspeed (see page 1) many interestingdetails surrounding the collection of the manuscriptscame to light.The Edgar Johnson Goodspeed Manuscripts collection,now numbering more than 60 manuscripts in Greek,..Armenian, Latin and Syriac, began modestly with asingle late medieval Latin manuscript. Actually theUniversity of Chicago was born with one New Testa­ment manuscript-s-the Hengstenberg Harmony. A fif­teenth century Latin harmony, the manuscript was pur­chased in 1871 by the Baptist Theological Union Semi­nary, which was incorporated into the University at itsfounding in 1891.Most important of the Edgar Johnson GoodspeedManuscripts is Dr. Goodspeed's "find of a lifetime,"the Rockefeller-McCormick New Testament, purchasedby Mrs. Edith Rockefeller-Mcfformick in 1927 for $25,-000. The thirteenth-century New Testament is bound insilver and contains ninety miniatures. It is one of ahalf dozen manuscripts with numerous text illustrationsscattered throughout the world.Dr. Goodspeed found the codex-named for Mrs.Edith Rockefeller-McCormick-in an antique shop onthe Boulevard Haussmann in Paris in 1927. He dis­covered the manuscript on the last lap of a Europeanjourney after a summer's search for texts in France,Spain, and Italy.Just before sailing for the United States, empty­handed, he decided to have one last look among thebookshops of Paris. A piece of Pe'rsian ti:1e--one of hishobbies-attracted him into the shop of Maurice Stora,and after examining the tile, he asked the clerk, morefrom habit than from hope, whether he had any manu­scripts. By JEANNETTE LOWREYDr. Goodspeed, flanked by President Ernest C. Col ..well (right) and Harold H. Swift, Chelrmen of the Boardof Trustees (left) examines the Rockefeller-McCormick NewTestament, one of the 60 manuscripts in fhe Ed,gar J.Goodspeed Collection, at the, dedication ceremonies.The owner was so impressed with Dr. Goodspeed'sknowledge of a Persian manuscript which he first showedthat he brought out the 13th century Greek New Testa­ment.The Rockefeller-McCormick codex, which was onexhibit to Chicagoans for the second time since it wasbrought to the states in 1927, was first displayed to theNew Testament Club of the University after a privateshowing by Mrs. Rockefeller-Mcflormick at her LakeShore Drive home.A few of the leaves of the codex are wrinkled andwater stained. These pages of miniatures were used,it is believed, as a holy sacrament. Pilgrims betweenthe fourteenth and nineteenth centuries poured waterover the miniatures and then drank of the water.Now a "rare book item" in the Goodspeed manu­scripts, the codex was purchased by the Universityin 1942.One of the oldest of the manuscripts in the Good­speed collection is a ninth-century Armenian Gospelcontaining parts of the Gospel of Matthew and Mark..The sec�nd oldest work of its kind, it was acquiredby the University in 1937.Most interesting of the manuscripts, from the Chicagopoint of view, is the thirteenth century Greek lectionary,known in the metropolis as the "gangsters' Bible."Used as an oath book by the patrons of Colosimo'srestaurant in the gangland era, the Argos lectionarywas brought to the United States by Michael Biskoswho bought the restaurant from the Colosimos.The Bible, treasured as a church book in Argos,Greece. in the beginning of the nineteenth century, was1718 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEmutilated by the Turks when Dernetrios Ypsilantis sum­moned the Greeks to assert their independence and stoodsiege in the citadel of Larisa. The rich covers andbrilliant miniatures of the codex were stolen, but the.remainder was salvaged by the great grandfather ofBiskos, and handed down to him as an heirloom.Biskos quoted the price of the manuscript, $1,000,on robin's egg blue stationery. Th.e letter concluded:"Enclosed you: win find a statement for the sum stated..above, If our price is accepted, the convenient for­warding of a check will terminate the matter. In case-of refusal, kindly inform me so I can come for the liftingof the manuscript."From a collector's viewpoint, the D'Hendecourt Roll,written in the Middle Ages, is probably the most un­usual manuscript in the collection.A magical roll of parchment, five feet nine incheslong and three and five-eighths inches wide, namedafter the late Viscount Bernard D'Hendecourt, themanu­script contains seven miniatures, the beginning ofthree of the Gospels (Marik, John and Luke), theLord's Prayer, the Nicene Creed and the 68th Psalm.One miniature is worn thin from the number of lipsthat kissed it.U sed as a household charm, the roll was declared tobe more unusual than any piece in the British Museumand Bibliotheque N ationale by the two museums.The Edgar Johnson. Goodspeed Manuscripts also in­clude the only known illustrated' manuscript of theapocalypse. The seventeenth century manuscript waspresented by Miss Elizabeth Day McCormick to theUniversity in the year of Dr. Goodspeed's retirement.The manuscript is the Revelation of John with com­mentary translated into contemporary colloquial Greek.Two of the miniatures are out of order, and the scribewho caught the mistake before the completion of themanuscript has made two notations of the error., The collection also includes one of the few completeNew Testament manuscripts in the United States: Atwelfth century Greek manuscript was made available tothe University through the generosity of Scott Brown,life-long friend 'of Dr. Goodspeed, who was also presentfor the dedication of the Goodspeed manuscripts ..Smallest of the manuscripts is a newly acquired vol- .ume-the Little Mark, so named because it fits into'the palm of the hand. The oldest text of the Gospelof Mark ever found and the closest to the Vaticanusin Rome that is known, the Little Mark has, however"more than 800 textual differences from the Vaticanmanuscript.The collection also includes the largest Armeniancollection of New Testament manuscripts in an Americanuniversity. A silver-bound Armenian of the sixteenthcentury and the Red Armenian Gospels, named .becauseof the rich red in the miniatures, are among the out­standing selections in the collection. Student Author PrizesTwo Chicagoans were among the three Universityof Chicago students awarded the Ann Watkins fictionfellowship pr-izes, established at the University in 1946by Ann Watkins, Inc., literary agents in New York City,to encourage and support. young American writers.The first recipients of the award, Chicagoans RobertA.

Bits of grain,which may be the first type of grain sowed and harvestedby man, were also brought back and have been sub­mitted to the botany department for examination."The start of history's :{;,rst great economic revolution,the period definitely shows contrast to the millions ofyears of human life in caves and in the open, when menwere simply hunters and fishers," Braidwood states.The "great-granddaddy" of all towns that have cometo light, to date, the site was probably occupied sometime between 8,000 and 6,000 B.C.The people, Braidwood reports, were apparently ofthe modem Mediterranean type. He estimates that ap­proximately 300 to 400 lived at this particular site."I'm not sure these people hunted," Braidwood states."Nothing that definitely looked like weapons was found.They did, however, have planting and reaping seasons,and they had herds to tend."Finding the site for the dig at Qalat Jarmo (Jarmo'sCastle) was almost as exciting a find as the village itself,Braidwood reports.I t was discovered by a worker for tne Iraq Depart­ment of Antiquities, who had noticed some miles awayan old man using a strange-looking flint to strike a fire.Upon questioning, he said that he and all the villagersobtained their flint at Jarmo's Castle.The discovery of the village, some 18 feet below.the surface of the ground, remained, however, forthe 1948 staff of the Oriental Institute, which includedin addition to Braidwood, his wife, who is also anarcheologist, and Miss Charlotte Otten, an assistant.CHRISTMAS SURPRISEHere is a Christmas gift stunt that should be fun.

DUNN ., PHILADELPHIA. PA.How did I make the transition from a Teachers' College tothe life Lnsurance business? Here is about how it happened.I waved a fond farewell to Moorhead State Teachers' College,Minnesota, in the spring of 1941, and settled down to do someserious thinking concerning my future. Uncle Sam supplied someof the answers in September of that year, and for the next fiveyears the Army Air Corps was my boss, and my address was asuccession of Army Air Bases and A.P.O. numbers, which stretchedfrom Colorado to Scotland, England, Africa, Italy and Corsica.For two of these years it was my good fortune to be associ­ated with a brother officer, "Cap" Haines, in civilian lif� apartner in New England Mutual's Philadelphia General Agency,Moore and Haines. He, my wife--a U. S. Army nurse, whom Imarried in Africa--and I spent long hours discussing life insur­ance and its possibilities as a career for me. It offered all ofthe things that I had ever hoped for in business: independence,unlimited income possibilities and, most of all, a never-endingchallenge to my ability in a field where limits do not exist,excepting as I alone set them.Before I had finished my terminal leave, I was studying formy Pennsylvania State Insurance examination, and was making f' Le Ldtrips with my friend from overseas.. ...Now, ar tar two yea:rs, I am mor-e . convinced than ever- thatthere is no better future than that which the New England Mutualoffers. To prove my point, I have the support of my 97 policy­holders, and the one million dollars of new life insurance whichI have placed on their lives. � ./ c::: 4J�GRADUATES of our Home Office training courses,practically all of them new to the life insurancebusiness, are selling at a rate which produces aver­age first-year incomes of $ 360.0.
