BOOKSTECHNOLOGY AND INTERNA­TIONAL RELATIONS, (Harris Founda­tion Lectures 1948) Edited by WilliamF. Ogburn, University of ChicagoPress, $4.00.The war has left us with some remark­able developments in four fields of tech­nology-the airplane, atomic energy, tele­communications, and steam and steel. Thetremendous impact of these developmentson the relations among nations is the prob­lem considered in this volume.Quincy Wright discusses the new tech­nology and the world order. Hornell Hartanalyzes the effect of new inventions on(he size of states. Bernard Brodie looks atthe effects of the techniques of war onnational policies. In separate articles A.Payson Usher, William F. Ogburn, WilliamT. R. Fox and Robert Leigh focus atten­tion on the changes in relations amongstates signalled by each of the four majortechnologies under surveillance. The vari­ous aspects of this vital question arecapably integrated by an editor's intro­duction.FOUNDATIONS OF THE PUBLICLIBRARY, A Social History of thePublic Library Movement in NewEng.land f,'om 1629 to 1855, by JesseH. Shera, PhD'44. University of Chi­cago Press, $5.00.In 1629 the Massachusetts Bay settlersreceived their first public collection ofbooks; more than two centuries later, in1854, the reading room of the Boston Pub­lic Library was opened in the AdamsSchoolhouse on Mason Street. Betweenthese dates the public library movementgrew throughout New England. Shera usesa fairly broad brush in describing thismovement, for he is "concerned with thoseelements in American life which con­tributed directly or indirectly to the growthof the public library as a social agency andthe character of the environment fromwhich it emerged."RESEARCH AND RESEARCH POS·SIBILITIES IN BRASIL WITH PARTIC­ULAR REFERENCE TO CULTUREAND CULTURAL CHANGE, by Don­ald Pierson AM'33, PhD'39 and MarioWagner Viera de Cunha.

University of ChicagoPress $5.00.Seldom it is that the older generationdoes not find in the state of the worldsome signs of decay from the orderly pat­tern of its youth. The generations ofthe Renaissance were obsessed with thisbelief; in the words of Harris, it was "partof the Renaissance cosmic order." Buildingabout John Donne's lament, "all cohaer­ence gone," Harris describes the intellectualconfusion and the disruption of old pat­terns which characterized the sixteenth andseventeenth centuries.GEORGE ELLETT COGHILL, Natural­ist and Philosopher, by C. Judson Her­rick. University of Chicago Press,$5.00.Says Herrick of his work: "I want todepict the life of science as it was livedby G. E. Coghill and the science itselfwhich he produced." Thus the book isnot merely a biography of Herrick's goodfriend Dr. Coghill; it is also and perhapsmore importantly an attempt to set newgoals for na tural science and to reformits methods."The time has come," contends Herrick,"to recognize the humanistic significanceof science-so-called pure science, I mean­and to adjust our practice accordingly."BARTOLOME MITRE: A POET' INACHON, by Myra Cadwalader Hole,PhD' 40.

He flew themfrom China in 1948.Until 1945, scientists studied dawn red­woods only from fossils. Then two Chineseprofessors sent a couple of young plantcollectors into the little-known border re­gion between Szechuan and Hupeh Prov­inces. The collectors came out with hun­dreds of plant specimens, among them, theneedles and cones of a strange "new" tree.The professors looked at the specimens anddecided they belonged to a living dawnredwood. When reports reached Berkeley,Dr. Chaney decided to head for China­"This I've got to see for myself."He saw it. The details, fascinating tho'they are, would take pages. He foundthem about to provide a lumber-scarceChina with timber! He pleaded with lo­cal, state, and national authorities to pI' -serve the trees in the Valley of the Tiger.Results are yet unknown.Dr. Chaney took large specimens toNanking for laboratory investigation. Oth­ers will be analyzed here along with theseedlings now growing in California.The Rainbow CafeWhen we were in Minneapolis recentlywe telephoned the Legeros residence andaskd for George. The maid answered(George lives with his parents) and saidthat George Legeros (MBA'47) was at theRainbow Cafe. It was nearly 10 P. M.and we wondered why George was havingdinner that late at night. The lady ex­plained that it was his dad's restaurant andGeorge, who majored in restaurant manage­ment, was now the manager. We decidedto run out and see him.We asked the cab driver if he knewwhere the Rainbow Cafe was. Of course.everyone knew the Rainbow Cafe. It wasone of the better eating places in Uptown.It is an attractive restaurant whichGeorge's father built from lunch counter.They have just added another modernroom and George has attracted nation-wideattention with his monthly art exhibitswhich add greatly to the attractiveness ofthe place.His younger brother plans to attend ourschool of business and prepare to join inthe operation when, we suspect, dad willmake his retirement complete. At themoment father and mother were visitingtheir home land, Greece, and preparirig tobring father Legeros' mother back to theStates.We had a pleasant Chicago reunion anda private chauffer with a new Packardcar for the rest of our stay in the city.George insisted on driving us to our re­maining appointments, showing us the city,and putting us on the Zephyr for Chicago.H.w.M.Monticello's Max HottOn a recent trip to Springfield, Illinois,we wound off the highway into picturesqueMonticello for a brief visit with Max R.Hort, '16.In a rustically furnished office presidedover by a sail fish exceeding seven feet,Max Hott gave us a cordial welcome. Hehad just returned from landing an 85-pound tarpon in Florida waters. Wequickly gathered that fishing was a majorhobby.Prominently displayed near the fireplacewere. containers labeled: Campho-Phenique,Milks Emulsion, Blackstone Aspirin, Fritola,Traxo, etc.This took us back to the days when Dr.D. W. Colwell, a Monticello physician, de­veloped a laxative which became nation­ally known as Dr. Colwell's Syrup of Pep-sin. .Max's father joined the Pepsin SyrupCompany in 1908 and Max became a sales­man and later sales "road coach" under hisdad. The company was sold to SterlingDrug in 1924 but both father and son re­mained as top officers in the various com­panies which had been built around theoriginal.When Max's father retired in 1933, Maxtook on the full responsibilities, which hecarried until two years ago. Doctor's or­ders demanded' a slow down and now Maxretains a minor part of the products, fishes,plays golf, and operates four farms totaling1160 acres.He' consults with the University of Illi­nois on some of his farm problems and, inturn, serves on the advisory committee oftheir Executive Committee.Fictional SagaMarian Johnson Castle '20, popular fic­tion writer and author of best-selling De­borah (1946), has a; new book, publishedin March of this year.

Morgenstern, '20, J.D.'22THE investigation by the Subversive Activities Com­mission of the Illinois legislature into "any and allsubversive activities which may now exist" at theUniversity (and Roosevelt College) is virtually con­cluded. The hearings, April 21-23, developed absolutelyno evidence and made no attempt to do so. This com­pletely negative result was inevitable, for no such activityhas ever existed at the University. The position of Chair­man of the Board Laird Bell and of Chancellor RobertM. Hutchins that there are no Communists on the staffof the University and that there is no Communist in­doctrination stands unchallenged.A rump session of the hearing still remains because ofa last-gasp effort of some members of the Commissionto give some sanction of legitimacy to a proceeding thatwas conceived in hysteria, ignorance, and malice. Sincethis added session will inquire only into the exactness ofaffidavits of seven faculty members answering' the chargesof a "surprise" witness that they were members' of so­called "Communist fronts," this session is of slight import.From the start, the investigation has had an air offutility; even before the hearings got underway many ofthe legislators who whooped, the resolution through hadmisgivings about their action. Conducted by J. B.Matthews, an imported professional red-Hunter who hadthe limitations of his type, the hearings were perfunctoryand meaningless because there just was nothing to workwith, except the old Dies Committee method of guilt byassociation-and remote association at that.A familiar ringFurther, the investigation device has lost much of itspersuasiveness with the country at large since the days ofthe Walgreen investigation of 1935. People have had along time to become familiar with the sleazy- innuedoesand the unsubstantiated assertions of a proceeding inwhich anything .may be said with immunity under theguise of legislative privilege, and none of the protectionsof legal procedure are provided. They do not give thefull credence to these irresponsible performances theyonce did.This time the University had some stalwart assistance.The reporting of the proceedings was, with few excep­tions, fair and competent throughout. The Chicago DailyN eios and the Sun-Times gave vigorous editorial supportto the U niversity, ,both in demandi�g some responsibility in the conduct of the hearings and in interpreting theresults. The Chicago Tribune) neutral editorially, re­ported the hearings for what they were worth. The Sun­Times columnist, Milburn P. Akers, wrote a series ofhumorously satirical essays that had a wide readership,including all the legislators. Those who weren't on theCommission were happy they were not; those on it weresquirming, for Akers stung them with ridicule. Over thecountry, such papers as the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, theKansas City Star, the New York Times, the New r arkHerald-Tribune) and the Lindsay chain in downstateIllinois, among others, reported and interpreted the, in­vestigation at a high level.And on our sideIn the Commission itself the University had some ef­fective supporters. Senators Norman Barry and RonaldLibonati, and Rep. Charles Jenkins, all of Chicago,fought consistently for the right of cross-examination andother rules of procedure that would protect the Univer­'sity's interest. They were stubbornly opposed by Sen.Paul Broyles, chairman of the Commission, and his hiredhenchman, Matthews, the reformed fellow-traveller. Thethree legislators walked out of a meeting the night beforethe first hearing in a fight over the rules, an action sorevealing of the intentions of Matthews that the remain­ing members finally adopted most of the three, men'sprogram. Again, in the open hearing, they were success­ful in an effort to obtain the right of a preliminary state­ment by witnesses, a most important privilege in thepresentation of the University's case.Lest all this lead to the conclusion that the investigationwas helpful to the University, it should be observed oncemore that it is impossible to win in such a proceeding.Though absolutely nothing was proved, and though thereis considerable sophistication about these undertakings,there are still a discouraging number of people who forma conclusion from the mere fact there was an investiga­tion. Only the alert minority judges such a proceedingfor what it is. The only direct benefit the investigationproduced.is reluctance on the part of the present legisla­tors to embark again on such an expedition.In a fundamental sense, of course, the University didwin a victory. It reasserted its faith in academic freedom,and reiterated its determination to practice it. It struckback with effect against infringement on the much34 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEbroader area of rights and privileges of the citizen underthe Constitut.ion. One immediate result of the fiasco ofthe Commission was the Senate's burial of the Broylesappropriation bill for $75,000 t.o cont.inue his group dur­ing the coming biennium. The Appropriat.ions Com­mittee refused to move the bill, and when Broyles tookthe fight to the floor he was beaten 36-10. The series ofBroyles bills to control thought under the guise of sup­pressing Communism are not now likely to pass theHouse, though they were quickly approved in the Senatebefore the investigation. All these are important andbasic benefits, . but relatively few people are going toappreciate that the University was making a fight, notonly for itself, but for them.The chancellor was calledThe hearings began on a Thursday afternoon, withChancellor Hutchins as thefirst witness. Under the pro­cedure adopted by a majority of the Commission,Matthews did all the questioning. Altogether, there wereeight witnesses 'called, of whom only the last, HowardRushmore, a Hearst reporter, was affirmative forMatthews. Except for the ad lib testimony with whichMatthews loaded his questions, or injected into his in­terrogation, the only information produced to demon­strate the great subversion was that of Rushmore.The only clarity and drama the proceedings everachieved were supplied by Mr. Hutchins. He openedthe hearings with a clear-cut statement of the University'sposition (See Tower Topics, June, '1949, for the text),which . he elucidated through two hours of bumblingcross-examination by Matthews. The statement met theMatthews case head-on, with the assertions that therewere neither Communists nor Communist teaching atthe University; that the University refused to accept theun-American doctrine of guilt by association; that therewas o� the quadrangles a student' Communist Club ofeleven members for the study of Marxian principles, andthat it was an organization legal under the law of Illinois.For good, measure, Mr. Hutchins told the Commissionwhat he thought of the Broyles bills. They were unneces­sary, unconstitutional, and un-American, because theyaimed at thought control.If Matthews expected to find' Mr. Hutchins a timid,hedging, or Icon fused witness he was horribly surprised.Mr. Hutchins treated the proceedings with dignity andcourtesy, but occasionally Matthews' examination ap­proached the ludicrous. Once, when Matthews was com­plaining about the associations of Robert Morss Lovett,emeritus professor of English, and of Maud Slye, associateprofessor emeritus of pathology, he demanded to knowwhy the University continued to lend its prestige to them.It was necessary for Mr. 'Hutchins, at great length, toexplain to Matthews that "emeritus" meant retired, andthat nothing could change the fact that a professor whohad attained that status had it until he died. Of mice and menMiss Slye worried Matthews badly; he kept recurringto her, and the record of one section of the examinationruns like this:"Is Dr. Maud Slye on the faculty 'of the University ofChicago?"Mr. Hutchins : "You will recall, I think, that she islisted as 'emeritus.'""That is correct."Mr. Hutchins: "Dr. Slye retired many years ago afterconfining her attention for a considerable period ex­clusively, to mice.""Dr. Maud Slye was an associate professor emeritus;this is the latest obtainable directory."Mr. Hutchins: "'Emeritus' means retired.""She is retired on pension?"Mr. Hutchins: "Oh, yes.""And has at least the prestige of the University ofChicago to some degree associated with her name, inas­much as she is carried in the directory of the University?"Mr. Hutchins: "I don't see how we can deny the factthat she had been all her life a member of the facultyof the University. She was, one of the most distinguishedspecialists in cancer we have seen in our time.""Are you acquainted with the fact that Dr. Slye hashad frequent affiliations with so-called Communist-frontorganizations ?"Mr. Hutchins: "I have heard that she has had so-calledfrequent associations with so-called Communist-front or­ganiza tions.""Is it the policy of the University to ignore such affili­ations on the part of members of the faculty?"Mr. Hutchins: "As I have indicated, Dr. Slye's associ­ations were confined on our campus to mice. She couldnot, I think; have done any particular harm to our stu­dents even if she had been so minded. To answer yourdirect question, however, I am not aware that Dr. Slyehas ever joined any organization advocating the over­throw of the government by force and violence.""May I ask if in your educational theory there is notsuch a thing as indoctrination by example?"Mr. Hutchins: "Of mice?"Later, Matthews silkily sought Mr. Hutchin's endorse­ment of ·President Truman's use of "traitors-in themoral sense" for members of the Communist party. Tothat Mr. Hutchins replied � "You will forgive me forsaying there is some question whether we should mold Ourvocabulary on the President's." Matthews quit abruptlyat that, almost before the crowded galleries had come toorder.Mr. Hutchins then concluded his appearance with abrief summary statement:"I believe that there is a fundamental difference be­tween the Iine of questioning that has been pursued and(Continued on Page 16)... .,.·�:.r··-·· ....t"-:, • .;( :....",:.•.•.• ,.,.. ••...•• �':- <>: /.- .•..;; ...._'..", -_ THE RISING EAST.... .......... �.-.:� ,." ; .. , .....• •t ....; \, .• -. . »: -;. ... .. ..: :_, .. -:- ,:..... :.�.. - " ..The old colonial world ofSouth Asia is speaking withits own voice - the Westwould do well to listenFrom AmericaPhillips TalbotWITH America's traditional Far Eastern policysunk in the quicksands of China, this countryis inevitably launched upon a reexamination ofthe whole Asian scene. One of the marks of our timeswhich policy makers are discovering is that Americanthought on the Far East can no longer confine itself toEast Asia. A new zone, South Asia - embracing theformer colonial dependencies from India to the Phi­lippines-is bubbling with activity and stepping into asignifican t world role.Before the latest war South Asia was "easy," so faras the United States was concerned. True, we occa­sionally stuck pins into our British cousins over India,aNd we watched political idealists join hands with do­mestic tariff interests to produce the Philippines Inde­pendence Act.But officially we classed India, Burma, Ceylon andMalaya under Britain; the Indies under the Netherlands, and Indo-China under France. The State Departmentconveniently dealt with those crowded Asian landsthrough its Western European desks.What has happened today? The United States isstill chiefly concerned-and rightly so-with Europe andthe Far East, particularly with the Bear whose un­natural shadow falls both eastward and westward. Yet.gradually we are perceiving in South Asia an area thathas changed out of recognition internally, in relationto the Far East, and vis a vis the Western World.A mere catalog of political transitions since the warillustrates the ferment that permeates the southern fringeof Asia and its off-lying islands. Besides the previouslypromised freedom that devolved on the Philippines,.India has become independent and Pakistan has beencreated as a separate nation, Burma has broken awayfrom colonial rule so precipitately that even the looseBritish Commonwealth ties were snapped, Ceylon hasbecome a �ominion of the Commonwealth, Malaya aridSingapore have come under new constitutions, and thepeoples of Indonesia and Indo-China have defaced anddisfigured the old Dutch and French colonial systems.Everywhere in the region the Europeans are eitherout or on the skids. No buffers remain between theUnited States in its new world power position and abloc of peoples that add up to a quarter of the earth's56 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEpopulation. That bloc, furthermore, is beginning tospeak with a voice strong enough to influence interna­tional affairs.Clear examples of the new situation constantly ap­pear. India denied Dutch planes the right to passageafter the December offensive in Indonesia. Nineteennations met at New Delhi to press the U.N. to stronger,action against the Dutch. India and Pakistan declaredtheir opposition (joining Russia) to the Anglo-Americanplan for disposition of Italian colonies in Asia.India is a natural leader of this resurgent zone. It isnot only the largest country in the area (and, since thecrack-up of China, the world's greatest mass of peopleunder a single government), but both economically andpolitically it is relatively advanced and well-balanced,and it is guided' by a man, Jawaharlal Nehru, who isdeeply conscious of the world outside.Thus the strengths and weaknesses of India meanmuch to the future of South Asia's smaller countries.They may fear India's strengths, for, as one delegateto the 1947 Asian Relations Conference said, there isno desire to exchange white imperialism for brown. Butat present they fear the weaknesses more. An India inchaos, alongside a China in chaos, would virtually doomthe new nationalisms of the tropical Far East.India's leaders are conscious of the lessons to belearned from the Kuomintang Revolution's rapid descentfrom Great Power status to collapse. They are thereforestruggling first for internal stability.They have won important initial successes. WhenBritish rule ended and the new, Governments of Indiaand Pakistan were immediately confronted with thePunjab massacres, which turned ten million people intorefugees during one of the most vicious religio-politicaloutbreaks of recent times, the survival value of bothregimes seemed doubtful. Since then, however, Pakistanhas gained equilibrium and India has surmounted a suc­cession of political issues.The strength and vigor of Independent India can bejudged against the challenges it has confronted. Oneof the first involved the SOO-odd Princely States. Ma­harajas had ruled as semi-autonomous monarchs underBritish suzerainty and some wanted to remain apart fromfree India. Yet today the great majority are hardlymore than political pensioners. Their territories hav�been merged into neighboring Provinces or lumped to­gether into comparable administrative units. No Princeremains in a position to challenge the constitutionalgovernment.The next step was to pull the fangs of potentially.

He studie at theUniversity of JI:linois and at the School of Oriental andAfrican Studies at the University of London, and in -1939he began a nine year_ period of study and work in -the FarEast. As researcher, naval attache and foreign correspond­ent (Chicago Daily News) he' acquired a many-facetedpicture of the situation there. dissident political groups. These included some of theextreme religious-cum-political bodies, such as the Sikhswho wanted a Sikh kingdom in northern India and amilitant Hindu body called the Rashtriya Swayam SevakSangh, or R.S.S.S., which declared its intention of mak­ing India a Hindu State rather than a secular State.(Indian Muslims subsided into passive acquiescence afterPakistan was created.) The assassination of Gandhigave the Government the opportunity it needed to sup­press or divert these groups. While religio - politicalfeeling remains strong, the Government saved itself dur­ing the weak initial months and seems now situated tocope with any further threats of this kind.The t:venty-fifth ann�al Institute of the Norman Waite HarrisFoundation ." l�ternatlo�a.1 Relations, held May 25 through 29und:r th� dl�ectlon of P.hdllps Talbot, concerned "Nationalism andReqionelisrn In South Asia."Forty specielis+s in Far Eastern affairs came from Europe, Asiaand' this country to discuss the problem. Among them were J SFournivall, adviser to the Government of Independent Bur�a:Cora Du Bois, Chief of the Southern Areas Regien, Division .ofR�search fer the Far East, U. S. Department .of State; and Briga­dier. General Carlos P.

Inearly 1949 the Communist party, which is tiny but in­fluential in key trade unions and in some agrarian areas,challenged the Government to a showdown over a railstrike. The Government, acting more vigorously thanthe earlier British rulers had been accustomed to actingagainst Indian nationalists, jailed hundreds of Com­munist leaders before the day set and saved the situa­tion, at least for the time being.Communist agitation highlights an even more danger­ous challenge to the young Indian administration, how­ever. Economically the country has not yet won itsbattle for security. Inflationary pressures increasedthroughout 1948. Drastic measures, including the sacri­fice of popular developmental plans, held the index levelearly in 1949, but many social groups suffered fromthe high prices and scarcity of essential goods. Forhun­dreds of thousands of people, food stocks were short.Only when food and inflation are under control can theGovernment be said to be building on firm founda­tions.In an examination of India's internal strength thequestion of Indo-Pakistan relations is central. The newMuslim-majority nation of Pakistan was torn out ofIndia's traditional lands with all the bitterness that canaccompany a civil war. Since partition and independ­ence the two countries have frequently acted like enemies .Their dispute over possession of Kashmir, in whose�ountain fastnesses Admiral Nimitz is now trying todiscover a settlement, very nearly led to war. Theagreement to cease fire in Kashmir has eased Indo­Pakistan relations all along the way, however. If it(Continued on Page 15)Outpost •In anFrom AustraliaEmerson E. LynnAUSTRALIA is watching the changing face ofAsia with uneasy approval and growing appre­,hension.A natural sympathy for the under-dog is counteractedby a deep-seated fear of being swallowed whole by the"colored hordes of the Pacific."Now .more than ever before she feels herself "alonely out-post of Western civilization in the midst ofan alien sea'."Geographical isolation from England and the Westhas strengthened rather than weakened her determina­tion to maintain every tie, cultural, racial, and eco­nomic.She early decided on a strict "White Australia" policywhich barred anyone not more than fifty per cent"white." Three factors make oriental immigration seemcontrary to her national interest.1. The economic fear of cheap labor which wouldlower the standard of living and might wreck the tradeunion movement.2. The feeling that people of a different language,culture, and way of life could never be effectively as­simulated into her homogenuous culture (Australia is95 percent British by extraction).3. The high birth rate of orientals before assimila­tion into Western civilization make it seem possible thatthey would soon be the predominant race.To a large -proportion of her population the WhiteAustralia policy was the beginning and end of her Pa­cific Policy. Her trade with the West kept her pros­perous. The British navy kept her safe.Thus, until the last few years, Australia has e:A:'ec­eively denied the existence of Asia. They saw in theirthousand million neighbors only vast masses differentfrom them in custom, culture, and color. They hidtheir eyes from the sight.World War II and its aftermath have made this iso­lation impossible. Japan demonstrated with terriblefinality that Australia, unaided, lay helpless before thedesigns of any Asiatic power well armed and equipped.The British navy was no longer mistress of the Pacific.Today Australia draws a mental map minus the Pa­cific ocean and finds herself surrounded by an Asia fastshaking herself loose from Western control- an Asiaseething with turmoil and revolt, and demanding treat­ment as an equal.Leaders of public opinion are beginning to work fora positive policy. This movement is amorphous as yetbut there emerge several main points upon which thereis substantial agreement.First, the "White Australia" policy should be con­ducted in such a way 'as to avoid, offending the suscep- Alien Seatibilities of the peoples excluded from settlement. Mostoften mentioned as a solution is the adoption of a quotasystem similar to that used by the United States.Second, that more attention should be paid to thehistory, customs, and culture of Asia. It is argued thatAustralia cannot take her place in the family of Pacificnations without knowing something about her neigh­bors.Third, that positive programs of aid should be ex­tended to raise the standard of living in backward areas.Dr. Herbert V. Evatt, Australia's foreign Secretary,has taken the lead in these last two points."Peace and security," Dr. Evatt maintains, "... canbe achieved only by building a way of life in the Pacificin which the varied nations can live together ... [wemust] prepare plans which take into account the legiti­mate aspirations of the people . . . [we "must] provideimproving standards for all peoples of the Pacific."Under his leadership, Australia has supported the In-'donesians against the Dutch in the Security C�uncil ofthe United Nations.There is a large group, however, who feel that Aus­tralia would reap a bitter harvest from any attempt toWesternize Asia. They point in warning to the resultsthe U. S. gained from a similar policy, in Japan.Those in this category, however, who accept the endof European rule as inevitable find themselves in a di­lemma. They fear the rise of communism in the Eastas much as or more than they fear the present National­istic movements.Forced to the choice between evils, they lean toward. friendliness and aid to the Asian nationalists, fearingthat if they don't help, Russia will.This Machiavellian attitude is far more prevalantthan the humanitarian approach suggested by Dr. Evatt.If the intellectual element agrees on the necessity fora positive program toward the Pacific peoples, the im­mediate concern of the public is with defense.The memory of J apanese bombers over Darwin is stillsharp. Australia expected invasion. The possibility ofwar between Russia and the U. S. brings to Australiathe prospect of a Communist Asia surrounding her.She wants a Pacific Pact. She wants a weak Japanand a guarantee that Japan will stay weak. Many peo­ple here disagree with U. S. policy in Japan and com­(Continued on Page 12)Emerson E.

I was indeed told thatthe long street stretching to the south from the railwaystation by which I arrived was one which policemen onlyentered in pairs. But it 'seemed innocent enough-a mix­ture apparently of saloons and mission rooms-and thegeneral look of the city as I entered it struck me as ratherlike Liverpool when one emerges from the Exchange Sta­tion there.But, beside the magnificent waterfront and the fineuniversity campus, I did see one very impressive and Ithink important thing in Chicago. The scene was a bigroom in a club. Round a table were seated some twenty­six men, leaders of the Chicago business world, and theirwives, who from eight P.M. to ten P.M. that evening dis­cussed Dostoevski's Crime and Punishment, its qualitiesas a novel, the moral problems it raises, what was themative of the hero in his crime, how far he satisfiedAristotle's view of the tragic hero, should punishment bepreventive or retributive and so on. Dr. Hutchins, thehead of the University, and one of his professors werepresent, but they said very little, striking in now and thenwith a comment or a question ; nearly all the talking anddiscussion was done by others. It 'was odd to find busi­ness men of this type, bankers, presidents of insurancecompanies and others (one of them was the head of thebiggest tailoring firm" in the U. S.) spending an eveningtalking about people like Dostoevski and Plato and Aris­totle, instead of playing bridge or going to a film ortheatre. I doubt if one could see such a scene in thiscountry.What is the explanation of this unusual phenomenon?Well, what I had been seeing was one of the classes inwhat is sometimes called the Great Books Scheme, and Imust now try and explain it.The originator of it is one of the most remarkable andSir Richard Livingstone's remarks about the impor­tant thing he had seen in Chicago were delivered lastDecember 10 over the British Broadcasting Corporation. original thinkers in American education, Robert Hutchins,the Chancellor of the University of Chicago, a man of atype uncommon among university administrators-for heis really interested in education-and of a type uncom­mon among educators, for he keeps his eyes not on whatis supposed to be happening in education but on whatis really happening. I think you might sum up thethought in his mind when he started these classes in fourstatements. First, western civilization has produced anumber of great books in philosphy, history, poetry, andscience, which deal with the fundamental problems thathave confronted mankind in every epoch. Second, thesebooks represent different views and so introduce us to thechief intellectual controversies. Their authors, the greatoriginal minds of our civilization, are also its greatestteachers, and through them we reach the best wisdom ofall ages, for our own enlightenment and for the under­standing of -contemporary problems. Third, it is absurdthat intelligent people should go through life in ignoranceof some of the finest and most significant works of man.Fourth, though these books can be read in private, weshall understand them much better and get much moreout of them if we also discuss them. Surely there is sometruth in these views, in this theory. It was in order toturn it into practice, that the Great Books classes cameinto being.Let me now say something about the way in which thescheme works. It involves a six year course of study, oneneedn't take the whole course unless one wishes, for eachyear's programme is complete in itself. There are eighteensessions a year, each lasting for two hours, at intervals ofa fortnight. At every session a book is discussed, the mem­bers of the group having read it beforehand. In eachyear's course the works chasen represent poetry, philos­ophy, science and history, and they are taken in chron­ological order in order to give an idea of the change anddevelopment of human thought. The first year's Coursebegins with Plato and Thucydides and passes on throughother authors such as St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas,Machiavelli, Montaigne, and Shakespeare, ending withRousseau, Adam Smith and Marx. The second yearBTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEbegins with Homer and ends with Tawney's AcquisitiveSociety (Tawney is the only living author in the list andhis inclusion was due, I was told, to the lively admirationwhich one of the organizers of the scheme felt for hisbook.) The third year begins with Aeschylus and endswith Freud. And so on.Now what I had seen in that club at Chicago was oneof these classes at work. It was remarkable for the sortof people who took part in it. Never before have I seenso many diamond rings and pearl necklaces in a discussiongroup. But there are 850 other groups, with a total enroll­ment, rapidly growing, of 36,000 members. They expectto number 100,000 this autumn. Similar groups exist in250 towns of the U. S., not only in big cities like Chicago,San Francisco and N ew York, but in small country towns.Nor is the scheme confined' to the rich and highly edu­cated. The great majority of its members are anythingbut rich. One business man started it in his factory atIndianapolis with fourteen students, drawn both frommanagement and manual workers. In that factory thereare now several groups with a membership of 120, and hespoke to me of their interest and enjoyment. They take,he said, to Plato and Aristotle as if it was something theyhad wanted to do but never had the chance of doing.Aristocracy in excelsisWhat are the adv:antages of this scheme and what arethe objections to it? First the objections. People say;"How can these mixed audiences really understand, Platoand Aristotle; most of them know little or nothing eitherof the authors or of the Greek civilization that is theirbackgrourid. In a place like Chicago they can no doubtfind scholars to help them; but in the ordinary countrytown the leader of a group will be a blind man leading theblind." That sounds plausible; up to a point it is true.But doesn't it prove a little too much? If it is true, itcuts off all but a small minority from reading most of thegreatest books in the world, from all contact with some ofthe finest creations of the human mind. These things, itsays, are for the very few; the vast majority of mankindcan't understand them. Trespassers will be, not pros­ecuted indeed, but warned off. That surely is aristocracyin excelsis; and I am sure it is a wholly wrong view.No doubt a trained student will understand Aeschylus,Plato, Erasmus and Pascal better than the man in thestreet; but that does not mean that the ordinary man can­not get a lot out of them. Am I not allowed to readDante because he is full of contemporary allusions andmy knowledge of his period is almost nil? Or Shake-.speare, because if I had to, do a paper on him in theOxford Honours.School of English Literature, I should belucky to get a fourth class? Am I not to look at a pic­ture by Velasquez or Cezanne, because I shall under­stand and appreciate it far less than a painter or artcritic would? Are you going to postpone any acquain­tance with these great things to a day when we are allsufficiently educated to understand them-a day that 9will never come? No, No. Sensible people read greatbooks and look at great pictures' knowing very littleof Plato or Dante or Cezanne, or of the influenceswhich moulded the thought of art of these men, quiteaware of their own ignorance, but in spite of it gettinga lot out of what they read or see.The less I knowI am encouraged in this view by some words of amodern writer. He says, "In my own experience ofthe appreciation of poetry I have always found that theless I know about the poet and his work, before I be­gan to read it, the better. An elabor.ate preparation ofhistorical and biographical knowledge has always beento me a barrier. It is better to be spurred to acquirescholarship because you enjoy the poetry, than tosuppose that you enjoy the poetry because you haveacquired the scholarship. I was passionately fond ofcertain French poetry long before I could have trans­lated two verses of it correctly." The writer of thosewords is Mr. T. :S. Eliot, a man who cannot be accusedof slipshod scholarship.And of course the really important things in thesegreat works are within the comprehension of any intel­ligent person. Take Aristotle's famous saying, "TheState comes into existence in order that men may live;it exists in order to enable them to lead the good life."Or Plato's words, "Goodness is the health, the beauty,the well-being of the soul; evil is its disease, its deformity,its ill-being." Surely these are within most people'spower to understand and discuss.As one of the group remarked to me, "A banker anda servant-girl are equally capable of being interestedby Aristotle's views on happiness because both of themare interested in happiness." I don't believe in the ex­clusiveness which implies that if you can't fully under­stand a masterpiece, you can get nothing out of it-thatisn't true. I don't agree that these great works are tobe merely the private domain of experts; that's per­nicious.Contact with the first rateBut what do people get out of reading and discuss­ing these great books? I asked that question of one ofthe organisers. "Well," he said, "it makes people think;it sharpens their critical, powers; it makes them thinkabout what is great, and it brings them in contact withthe first rate.""Yes", you may say, "but there are plenty of discus­sion classes in 'this country. What is there particularlynovel or advantageous in this scheme you have beendescribing ?" Well, I think that the Great Book classeshave an advantage over ordinary discussion groups,which of course equally well sharpen the critical powersand make people think. But if you discuss Plato or Pascalor Shakespeare or Dostoevski or' Nietsche or Marx, you(Continued on Page" 12)Democracy and economic �reedomcan realize on earth the goalsthe older faiths heve vainly soughtPART II:For a new age-A. NEW RELIGIONBy A. Eustace HeydenMAN started out in the beginning to build a goodlife on the earth. Religion really is the centraltheme of human history. Religion is the drivingcompelling thing through which human desires have beenreaching out for fulfillment, age after age. It has beenman's effort to build the good society as a soil in whichhuman happiness should grow in harmonious relation­ship. But if you look back over the history of the world,and the history of cultures, you will see quite clearlythat man has blundered, failed to achieve his purposes,largely because he didn't have the knowledge or the toolsor the technique to organize society in such a way as tolead desires to fulfillment in socially safe ways.Society always broke down through conflict. Man'seffort to build the good world ended in fu tili ty not be­cause he couldn't dream of what he wanted, but becausehe didn't know how to organize custom and institutionand human habit in ways that embodied his ideal.Speaking from the standpoint of religion-and worldreligion-what we need if we are to have religion as areinforcement of the peace drive is to go back to thefundamental meaning of religion in the history of man.That does not mean theology; and it does not mean thetraditional institutions of religion. And it does not meanthe compensatory hopes of the religions as you knowthem. These belong to an age that is dead. They have noadequacy as an approach to the problems of the modernworld.That is why the men who have been speaking for thechurches in '41 and '42 and '43, while the war was on,were much more realistic.They said, "We have to go to work upon the prob­lems of human relations. We have to work upon thepolitical problems; the economic problems"; the prob­lems involved in the basic understanding of what manis as a planetary being."Notice they said, "We have to insist upon the freed­oms-freedom of speech, of course; freedom of press; ofassembly; freedom of worship." But they went on to say:"Freedom of scientific inquiry and teaching; freedom .from want and exploitation, everywhere; freedom tochoose your vocation; freedom to move about the worldin quest of the things which. would make for fuller per­sonal development." These basic freedoms are essential if you're going toguarantee to a human being a satisfactory life upon theearth.These men who are talking realistically say to us thatwe have to organize our economic system so as to bringjustice into human relationships. The economic structureof the world as it now. exists has not justified itself byits fruits, either on the local scene or on the wide theatreof the world. It has created maladjustment in human re­lationships. It has been wasteful of the earth's resources,and of the lives of men. It has constantly thwarted thedevelopment of human personality, and it has beengeared not to the service of human welfare but to themaking of profit; and we'll have to consider whether itwill not be necessary to re-organize our total economicstructure to put under State control those phases of itwhich best serve in that way; under cooperative controlthose that serve best in that way; under private enter­prise those that can be most effective in that way.,But one thing we must be certain of, and that is thatproduction is for use, and that it must make for thedevelopment of human personality. Therefore, you mustguarantee opportunity; freedom; happiness; security; andpeace to men on the earth.You could go into very specific details if you pickedup the Oxford Conference, and the Delaware Confer­ence, and the Malvern Conference, and put together thethings that they slay. They insist that men must be givenopportunity-free equal opportunity; economic secur­ity. They must be given decent housing and a chance forlife under decent conditions; they must have a choice inoccupation; they must be free from anxiety in regardto unemployment and illness and old age."Economic democracy," they say, "must go side byside with a perfected political democracy."And one of the statements adds, "There is a kind ofatheism in our indifference toward the kind of economicThis article is Part II of a lecture delivered by ProfessorEmeritus A.

The entire series will be printed by theChicago Council on Foreign Relations. 16 South Mich.igan Ave., and available for purchase this September.10THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEstructure we are willing to tolerate."This gets down to the basic problem, and it is madeby churchmen, too-but a very small group of church­men, who probably wouldn't be followeci' by the menwho pay the bills.Then they say-I carryon the statem nt-"We musthave a full, free life; opportunity for every human be­ing. There must be no segregation, no discrimination, norulings made against any individual because of color orrace or creed or national origin or political opinion."And they move on from that to say, "On the basisof this economic foundation and this guarantee of in­dividual opportunity, we must organize the nations intosome kind of world federation so that the economic re­sources of the earth may be shared; SD that these conflictsbetween nations may be solved before they result in con­flict-a world government at last."Now, these are churchmen talking, and that comes tothe point that I want to make specifically, and really thewhole point of what I have to say-all the rest has beenjust preliminary detail, trimmings, fringes-religion isthe central theme of the planet's life. Man has been on theearth, wrestling for a million years to find security andmake a home for himself on the planet. All the culturesand all the religions have been just his blundering ways offeeling his way toward that goal. And all the multitudi­nouS forms of theology and institution which you call re­ligion have been the various multi-form embodiments ofthis quest.But the important thing is that now man has theknowledge and the resources and the tools and themethod by means of which he could actually build thegODd world; create the kind of society that would embodyhis dream; and make a harmonious world of human re­lationships, so that every individual would have a chancefor fullness of life.Do you see what that means?That means that we can carryon to make up for thefailure of the Christian religion in the 13th Century­the Christian world, responsible for rriost of these thingswhich have devastated our life and shaken the pillarsof the old structure of the lazy, slow-footed cultures ofthe past; Christianity, that has given us the new scienceand the machines, and has torn all the basic foundationsout from under the ancient cultures of the world, had achance in the 13th Century to preserve a cultural syn­thesis. You remember, at that time the Christian Churchwas in control of every single phase of culture. It notonly talked about the other world (it did plentyof that),but it also laid its hand up�n politics; upon trade andbusiness; it had all the education; it had all the philoso­phers; it wrote the specifications for the artists.And what happened?Did that, Church which had grown constantly in itsthinking-molding, altering and changing its doctrinefrom the 1st Century to the 13th Century-go out tomeet the " new science; to build a new way of think- 11ing; to build its doctrines in terms of what science hadto say about the Universe and Man?Not at all.Entrenched in its orthodoxy of dogma; tied in that'rigid authoritarianism, it refused to move; and the wholeworld went out, away from it, until you have what YDUcall the "secular world" --apart from religion; and pol­itics, economics, education, philosophy-all the .sciences-and art-cDnsciously were divorced from any sense ofresponsibility to religion.Worse than that-they didn't have any sense of unityor any consciousness of social responsibility, each one go­ing off on its own, with the result that you have this cha­otic world; the world of maladjustments; the world oftragic dislocations; the world of broken hearts; the worldof devastated lives-all these vast sections of the earthover which this tragic horror of war has rolled its giantform.Now, if the Church had only been willing to movewith new truth and new problems-and I don't say theCatholic Church alone because the Protestant denom­inations did exactly the same thing-we might have beensaved from our modern tragedy. •Now we face the fact that if we are going to have avital religion, if we are going to carry on the thing thatreligion started to do, if we are going to have a new em­bodiment of religion, then we have to have a new syn­thesis of culture-a mosaic of world cultures now, gath­ered into a unity of cooperation on the world scale­united as humanity is united in a common purpose, with.a goal, a program, and a world view.That means, of course, that we shall have to challengeall the sciences to service; to loyalty. It means we willhave to challenge the economic leaders, the politicalleaders, the leaders of education, the great artists, toloyalty. These phases of our civilization are not autonom­ous. They have no. right to stand off on their own feetwithout accepting responsibility.They have one responsibility, and that is to serve thecommonweal. And every single phase of culture shouldbe harnessed to the creation of values to be shared byall men.This is the challenge, and this is the thing whichmight make religion effective-practical; and this is thething that these leaders of the religions have been talk­ing about when they say, "We must solve our economicproblem; we must tackle these political issues; we mustguarantee opportunity for human beings; we must make. sure of harmonious relationships."After all, what is the central thing? The human being!Did you notice that when UNESCO made its state­ment on human rights, it didn't do what the churchesdo. It didn't do as the oriental philosopher would doand say, "Man is magnificent and glorious becau-se heis divine," or, "Man has rights because he's a Son ofGod." They didn't find it necessary or possible to saythat.12 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEWhat they said is, "Because he's a human being, hehas inherent dignity and worth." And it is this develop­ment of the opportunity for the individual, and the learn­ing of the art of living in human relations that is thegreat task of culture, and the central task of religion.Only now, you see, it will mean that religion will beled not by men specialized in theology, �ot by men whohave been ordained, upon whom the hands of somespecial miraculous grace have been placed. The relig­ious leaders of this new modern religion will be "sec­ular," to use that word in quotes. They will be the law­years, and the businessmen, and the scientists, and theworkers, and the artists-men who know how to handleproblems in the light of scientific method and taking allthe facts of the situation into account. .They will build the ideal for humanity in the directionof the old goal of a world embodying love and justiceand brotherhood and peace; but they will move, step bystep, through the near-at-hand ideal which grows outof the solution of specific problems-always in the di­rection of the larger vision of the human ideal.Religion which talks from the outside, making itspreachments against a . secular world, must always bedoomed to failure and futility. Religion as the dynamic,direction-giving, unifying drive of a secular culture, canreally create the sunlit environment in which men maylearn the meaning and practicality, of love and brother­hood and justice and peace.That means, you see, that we're going to have in thisstrange thing that you call "democracy," the actual em­bodiment of religion through the ages. It's too bad thatthe traditional religions didn't move; but you can't damup the hunger of human beings, and you can't hold themtethered to out-grown and out-worn loyalties. And youcan't stop the drivings of human desire as they reachout, knowing they can find fulfillment, toward the thingsthat fulfill desire.So, we're going to have this vital religion as the innercreative force. in our total culture, and on a world scale.It means that all men will be challenged. It means,that everyone who has talent and ability or capacity for .work will be challenged. It means that all men will ex­pect that all men will use their talents for the creationof values to be shared by all men. It means that everysingle one of us will he guaranteed a chance not only toenjoy but to create and to' work. It means that not onesoul will be lost and cast as rubbish to the void; buteveryone given an opportunity for the development ofall potentialities inherent in a worthful human being.It means that we shall have a great comradeship, a worldcitizenship; that we shall be heirs of all the cultures ofall the ages; that we shall be centers of creative power.But more than that, we shall be sharers in a magnificentjoy in living, of which we have not even yet dreamed.It means that. war as the embodiment of hatred andconflict and strife under those conditions would be un­thinkable. CULTURE(Continued from Page 9)are made not only to think but to think about a greatman. You are raised automatically above the level ofyour own mind' to the level of his-a level which fewpeople can reach by themselves. Surely something isgained by that. And with many of these authors youare raised not only to intellectual but to spiritual heights.Goethe somewhere says, "The thing that fetters us allis the commonplace, the ordinary-Das Gemeine." Every­one knows the truth of those words. We are tied down,all our days and for the greater part of our days, to thecommonplace. One has the sense of passing through theworld and missing so much of what is best in it-notthings remote and out of reach, but things which areround about us, however ordinary we and our lives may be.But we are fettered by the commonplace, by the routineof ordinary life and we don't open the mind's eye tosee beyond it. That is where contact with great thinkers,great literature helps. In their company we are still inthe ordinary world, but it is the ordinary world trans­figured and seen through the eyes of wisdom and genius.And something of their vision becomes our own.The world no doubt needs many things; but thereis nothing it needs more than this, the vision of great­ness and it is within the reach of anyone. That, I,think, is the chief value of these Chicago Great Booksclasses. They bring their members in touch with great­ness. And greatness is something that everyone needsto see. If a sense of it can pass into people's minds,something of it may pass into their lives too.AUSTRALIA(Continued from Page 7)plain that her industries are being re-built for U.

OF THE QUADRANGLESFOR the first time, a segment of the -nervous systemin a mammal has been made to work outside thebody.Basic research which offers possibilities for determininghitherto unknown chemical steps in metabolism and whichmay open new avenues for the study of diseases whichaffect the nervous system was announced by Dr. Ralph W.Gerard and Robert D. Tschirgi, physiologists, at the Amer­ican Societies for Experimental Biology in Detroit.Applying for the first time to the nervous. system anartificial circulation technique, the University of Chicagoinvestigators removed the spinal cords of rats and keptthem at work for a day to study the chemical steps inmetabolism.Under artificial respiration, the chest and abdomen ofthe rat are opened, and the length of the spinal cord iscut out and placed in a small trough. Functioning of the'nervous system is maintained by continually feeding ofsynthetic or real blood through the cord arteries, first bya syringe and later by an elaborate pumping system.To test the functioning of the spinal cord, the sensorynerve roots (the dorsal roots) are stimulated and theelectrical impulse in the motor nerve roots (ventral roots)is measured after amplification on a cathode ray oscillo­scope.Five substances, Dr. Gerard and Tschirgi discovered,can replace the normal glucose (simple sugar) as' thesource of energy to keep the reflexes in the nervous sys­tem active.Until the new investigation, glucose was believed to bethe only chemical capable of .producing usa:ble energy inthe nervous system. The five substances substituting forglucose are: pyruvate, isocitrate, alpha ketoglutarate,glutamine and glutamate, all related to sugars or proteins.On the other hand, succinic acid, which is also relatedto glucose and which is burned vigorously by tissue, in­cluding nervous tissue, was a failure in supporting reflexfunction. The isolated spinal cord used succinic acid evenmore than glucose, but succinic acid failed to supportreflex response-the motor turned, but .the car failed torun.The isolation of the spinal cord, the physiologists pointedout, also offers scientists another technique for exploringthe action of drugs on the nervous system as well as forstudying diseases which affect the nervous system such asconvulsions, multiple sclerosis, and some of the insanities.First Ricketts awardsThe University of Chicago honored two of its distin-·guished alumni in the field of medicine with the firstHoward Taylor Ricketts award for 1949.The award, established by Mrs. H.

Dr. Wilder worked with Dr. Ricketts in MexicoCity. After the death of Ricketts, who was the firstto see the organisms in Rocky Mountain fever and typhusfever, he remained in Mexico City to complete Rick­etts' work.Census previewA preview of the 1950 census results for Chicago andthe standard metropolitan area will be made possibleby a sample census of 3,200 households canvassed undera joint project of the Chicago Community Inventory ofthe University of Chicago and the United States Bureauof the Census.The sample census, directed by Philip M. Hausen, pro­fessor of sociology, will provide information relating topopulation changes since the last census, the character­istics of the population, including age, sex, color, educa­tion, marriage, and family composition.Results of the sample census, planned for publicationduring the summer and fall of this year, will precedesome of the results of the seventeenth decennial censusto be taken in April 1950 by two and three years.Bleedi'ng controlledToluidine blue, a commercial dye which University ofChicago investigators discovered to be an effective meansof preventing or controlling hemorrhaging in animalsexposed to atomic radiation, has now been used to alle­viate excessive bleeding in patients.The first use of the dye, or its counterpart protaminesulfate (an extraction from fish eggs}; to control hemor­rhage in women patients after delivery or during men­strual periods is reported by Dr. J. Garrott Allen andeight other University of Chicago physicians from surgery,medicine and pediatrics.Use of the dye as a clotting agent in patients withmalignant blood disorders was also reported.Sixty-eight patients, the clinicians announce, were giventoluidine blue or protamine sulfate intravenously or intra­muscularly to prevent hemorrhaging. The value of tolui­dine blue as an antihemorrhagic agent was demonstrated,according to their study, to. control bleeding in 46 caseswhen all other methods had failed. Ten additional casesshowed improvement, and only 12 failed to respond tothe trea tmen t.Hemorrhagic complications _ of women patients af­flicted by sudden estrogen (female sex hormone) with­drawal responded to adequate toluidine blue and/or1314 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEprotamine sulfate, and once controlled presented nofurther problem.Patients with malignant blood diseases (leukemia) as­sociated with hemorrhage, who showed an increase in theprotamine titration' (a test which detects this clottingdefect) and in the whole blood clotting time, gave amore variable clinical response to toluidine blue therapy.Many showed an early response while others requiredthree to six days of therapy. In all patients, the clinicalresponse was paralleled by an improvement in the prota­mine titration. The whole blood clotting time was re­turned to or toward normal, although in some patientsit was never increased.Fermi and the cosmic raysA hypothesis that cosmic rays ongmate in interstellarspace when a tiny proton collides with a magnetic fieldin a huge galactic cloud has been presented by EnricoFermi, Nobel-prize physicist and member of the Institutefor Nuclear Studies at the University of Chicago.The hypothesis, just published, was advanced lastDecember six years after the Italian-born scientist achievedthe first nuclear chain reactor under the west stands ofStagg Field. It was formulated on an idea originallyproposed by H. Alfven, a Swedish physicist, that thegalactic clouds in interstellar space carry magnetic fieldswith them as they move about.U sing this concept in the field of cosmic rays, Fermistates that the fast moving magnetic fields acting uponprotons in space would gradually accelerate them toenergies, ranging from about one billion volts-the limitthat is now supposed can be attained in the laboratorywithin a few years-to energies one million times larger.The magnetic field in the huge galactic cloud whichreacts with the proton charge according to. the laws ofelectricity and magnetism provides, according to Fermi,the mechanism for the seemingly impossible collisionof the proton and the cloud. .The acceleration process for the fastest of the protonsin the cosmic rays may take two-billion years, the ap­proximate lifetime of the present epoch. The slowerprotons have been accelerated for only one-hundredmillion years, the length of time mammals have beenon earth. The highest energy cosmic ray protons, ac­cording to this theory, are as old as the stars, but it isonly the exceptional proton which escapes energy lossesby collision for a long enough time to attain the highestspeed.This energizing process, according to the Fermi theory,is somewhat similar to that of a controlled chain re­action, in which neutrons that keep the reaction goingare, themselves, originated by neutrons.The majority of particles coming into the- earth'svicinity at these high energies appear to be protons ornuclei of hydrogen atoms, according to earlier researchby Marcel Schein, University of Chicago cosmic rayauthority.

Kuiper, director of both Yerkes and Mc­Donald observatories, has announced from McDonald thejointly operated University of Chicago-University ofTexas observatory, the discovery of a possible satelliteto Neptune, the next to last planet in the solar system..Kuiper, who last year discovered the fifth satelliteto Uranus, has photographed a very faint and slowlymoving object close in the sky to Neptune. One milliontimes as faint as the faintest star that can be seen by thenaked eye, the object may possibly be, according toKuiper, the second satellite to Neptune. The first satel­lite, Triton, was discovered in 1864. Further researchon the 82-inch reflectory telescope, the third largest inthe world, will be necessary, he states, to ascertain if theobject is a satellite. .A hypothesis that the eclipsing double stars, A. W.Ursae Majoris, may after millions of years evolve a sys­tem of planets like the. solar system has been advancedfrom Yerkes by Otto O. Struve, Andrew MacLeish dis­tinguished professor of astrophysics.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEThat pairs of stars which are in rapid rotation, oneabout the other, are. in the process of becoming planetarysystems was reported by Struve at the National Academyof Sciences meeting in Washington, D. C. ,Struve stated that if the theory is confirmed by furtherevidence it may be possible to estimate reliably how manystars have planets, how many of the planets are like theearth, and how many have developed life.In his hypothesis, Struve suggests that some stars maysplit in half and in the next stage of evolution (millionsof years later) become a system of planets.As the double stars slow down they eventually reacha point where their speeds can no longer counterbalancethe gravitational forces tending to pull them together.The twins form a single star about the mass of our sun,the rest of their substance, in the meantime, having formeda huge gaseous envelope, which, like the rings aroundSaturn, keeps whirling around the now single star. -This ring of cosmic gas, in its turn, breaks up in duecourse in small fragments, nine-tenths of the matter inthe gaseous envelope consists of the lighter elements,largely hydrogen gas, which floats off into interstellarspace. The heavier elements, constituting the remainingone-tenth, concentrate in the spaces between the frag­ments.It is these heavy remnants of the vast "placental"gaseous cloud that continue whirling around the parentsun, born as a result of the union of the erstwhile twinstars, according to the concept worked out by Dr. Struve.In the course of a 100,000,000 years, calculations indicate,the heavy remnants of the cosmic "placenta" condenseto form the planets, of a size and composition similar toMercury, Venus, the Earth, Mars and other merribers ofour solar system.RISING EAST(Continued from Page 6)proves durable, hoth . countries will be stronger thanwould otherwise be possible.If India and Pakistan, unlike China; maintain internalstability, their weight in South Asia is likely to be thrownagainst Communist encroachment there. The leadersof both countries look with concern on Communist ad­vances in East Asia, though many' of them are person­ally inclined more toward socialism than toward cap­italism. Nehru has already predicted, in words thatindicate his country's attitude, that Communists whopreviously gained strength by cooperating with N a­tionalists against imperial rule will now suffer as theytry to resist the main streams. of successful Nationalism.These comments : are not intended to suggest thatIndia is leading South Asia directly into the Westernorbit. On the contrary, it has resisted the sweetestblandishments of America and Britain, though it re­mains in the new, more-than-ever -elastic, Common­wealth. South Asians declare their intention to stayoutside all blocks and to judge international affairs against 15their own standards. As they show signs of being ableto hold to this policy, it might be well to examine theassumptions on which it is based. These are not en­tirely the same as ours.The first assumptien is that the time has come forAsia to play an important world role. To make thispossible, Asians must now run Asia. The remnants ofEuropean imperialism must be rooted out. Asian coun­tries must keep themselves from becoming pawns ofeither America or Russia. Indeed, perhaps the renas­cent peoples of Asia, by banding together, can generatea sort of third force between the super-Powers, ana thuscontribute to world peace.A second assumption is that there is no fixed equa­tion between peace and the status quo. It may be im­portant, especially to the West, to fortify Europe bybolstering the Netherlands; this would mean supportingthe Dutch position in Indonesia. But it is assumed inAsia that a solution to the independence claim of theIndonesians would make a greater con tribu tion to peace,even if it meant the decline of Holland.Thirdly, it is assumed and argued that under-de­veloped nations-a term that fits all countries in SouthAsia-have as much claim to the technical knowledgeand capital goods of industrial societies as the latterhave to t-ropical raw materials.Such assumptions to the long-dominant West maylead to wishful thinking; they may also be irritating.Because of them, Indian and- American attitudes at theoutset of some international conferences have been sodivergent that a Martian observer might have wondered.whether the delegates were discussing the same worldproblem.But the new line has gained some support in worldcouncils and has also stimulated regional consciousnessin South Asia. Nehru, foreseeing a new age in India,conceived the Asian Relations Conference in 1947 whichhe rightly called a watershed in Asian history. For thefirst time the representatives of the great majority ofAsian countries met together to consider their commonproblems.This year there have already been two further con­ferences of Asian nations and their neighbors. Againat Nehru's invitation, 19 nations met at New Delhi lastwinter to set forth a program for the U. N. in Indonesia.Later several countries met to consider the internal dif­ficulties of Burma.These gatherings, to which came official governmentrepresentatives who not many months before had beenrebels against their imperial masters, foreshadow furtherjoint action by the countries of South Asia.Here is a realm which despite its many troubles stillcontains almost the only strong and stable regions innon-Communist Asia. It is a region that for the firsttime in modern history is standing on its own feet andspeaking with its own voice. The Western world woulddo well to seek more vigorously than in the past tounderstand South Asia.16 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO M,AGAZINESPRINGFIELD(Continued from Page 4)the position which the University takes on one impor­tant matter."The University does not subscribe to the doctrine ofguilt by association."The University does not believe that an individualshould be penalized for other acts than his own."The University believes that if a man is to be punishedhe should be punished for what he does and not for whathe has belonged to or for those with whom he has asso­ciated."If I may venture to do so, I should like to remindyou of the words of scripture: 'He consorted with publi­cans and sinners; therefore He is guilty.'"c.c. coverageThere were three more witnesses in this afternoon ses­sion, as an anti-climax to Mr. Hutchins. John Madigan,Chicago Herald-American reporter, gave a scrupulouslyexact statement of his coverage of a meeting of the Com­munist Club. Paul Lerman, a student, was called, butbecause he had been subpoenaed only that afternoon,was given until Saturday noon to obtain counsel. He wasnever recalled. Elias Snitzer, president of the CommunistClub, and a veteran who was quoted by Madigan ashaving said he became a Communist party member im­mediately upon his discharge from the Navy, was next.His attorney entered an objection to the proceeding, andwas overruled. Snitzer's testimony was rather brief.Matthews continued inept; he elicited from Snitzer thefact that though the Communist Club was open to allinterested students, and made the opportunity to joinknown, it could muster only ten members. Snitzer's ap­pearance and the session ended when the Commissionheld, on motion of Senator Libonati, that he need notanswer any questions about his membership in the Com­munist party, whether he considered it an illegal or­ganization, and what he would do in the .event of warbetween Russia and the United States.The Friday morning session was devoted to' RooseveltCollege, with Matthews interrogating President EdwardJ. Sparling. While he was running through the ritual ofmemberships in the "fronts," Matthews deplored thepresence of Albert Einstein and Thomas Mann on theadvisory board of Roosevelt College, because of their lack"of appreciation of American citizenship obtained asrefugees from a totalitarian regime." Matthews again gotinvolved in a confusion of terminology, when he de­manded to know if "sponsoring a Communist (Matthewscontinually used "Communist" and "Communist front"interchangeably) organization" was not an "overt" act.Apparently he meant that an overt act was a criminal act,but when Rep. Jenkins rose to challenge the confusion,Matthews avoided saying what he did mean by droppingthat line of questioning. The incident is worth relating only because it illustrates the typical approach of innu­endo and blurring used by Matthews in attempting tobuild up a case.Dean John B. Thompson of Rockefeller MemorialChapel was the attraction for Friday afternoon, andMatthews' was almost gleeful in his anticipation as herolled his eye down the list of Dean Thompson's activi­ties. These. included the Chicago Ad H02 Committee forthe "Red Dean" of Canterbury, the Very Reverend Hew­lett Johnson, the Southern Conference for Human Wel­fare, the National Committee to Abolish the Poll Tax,and the American Peace Mobilization. Matthews wascanny abDut· identifying the authority which determinedthat these were "fronts;" at times he used the method ofcollateral association - membership in other allegedfronts-and in two cases-the Southern Conference andthe-National Committee to Abolish the Poll TaX-hecited the House Committee on Uri-American Activities.This authority was the notorious "Dies Committee," forwhich Matthews was an investigator, and according topublished statements, the. author of most of its reports,sometimes special ones which only Representative Dieshimself saw before they were issued. Matthews specificallyadmitted. that the Southern Conference was not on the"Attorney General's" list.Mr. Thompson was unintimidatedMr. Thompson was' unintimidated . by Matthews, hehad a command of facts, and he was articulate. Severaltimes, Matthews lamely conceded that so-and-so amongthe members of organizations which he was describing as"fronts" was not a Communist, but must be a "dupe."Dean Thompson said, in both his statement and his testi­mony, that he and others were aware of Communists inthese organizations, but the mere fact that Communistsalso wanted what the general organization wanted Wasno good reason for abandoning the aims."There are two ways in which liberals are sometimescontrolled by Communists," said Dean Thompson. "Thefirst is dumbly and automatically to follow the Commu­nist line. This I have never done. The second is dumblyarid automatically to veer to the opposite of whateverthe Communist line happens to be . This seems to me tobe as stupid as the first."What did emerge from the long interrogation of D�nThompson was the fact that he believes in applying Chris­tianity to the problems of modern life. He made an ef­fective impromptu summing up at the end of the exami­nation, in which he said in part: "To some of us whosesocial action stems primarily from our religious convictiDnand from our belief in democracy, it is extremely discour­aging and alarming to see committees or legislators ornewspapers glibly lump into one category all the membersof a group or organization which is standing for some im­portant social cause simply because it is known Dr sus­pected that some Communists are members of the sameorganization or cause."I said in my opening statement what was true and isTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 17still true-s-that I have never been a Communist or havenever had any inclination to be one. But I should hatevery much as a churchman to have any less concern forjustice than any Communist. I should hate to have anyless concern for peace and the bases of peace than anyCommunist. I should hate to think that my energies ormy convictions are any less than those of a Communist ..."It seems to me we should have faith in democracy, touse democratic methods in attacking problems. The prob­lem of civil liberties does not exist except in relation tominorities with whom we disagree. You don't believe inliberty unless you believe in it for those with whom you.disagree."[A great many of us] ... are alarmed about the spiritthat is spreading over America, a spirit of intolerance forsocial change, a spirit that intimidates people who wantto use the ordinary democratic processes of social changeand who themselves want to work for a greater measure ofjustice, a greater extension of democratic rights than eventhis country with its great heritage has even known."Rep. G. William Horsley, who sponsored ,the resolutionfor the investigation, was a curtain-raiser Saturday morn­ing to the mysterious stranger Matthews was to provide.Mr. Horsley introduced an array of posters and announce­ments, and some literature, which he said had been givento him by an employee of the University, who said theywere taken from bulletin boards or distributed at meet­ings. This preliminary concluded, Matthews introducedhis masked marvel, the "surprise witness."This gentleman proved to be Howard Rushmore, areporter for Hearst's New York Journal-American) whohad been somewhat ostentatiously "smuggled" into theLeland Hotel the night before.Matthews undertook a pseudo-legal qualification ofRushmore as an "expert" on Communism. He knew of thegreat "Russian Atom Bomb Spy Ring" two and one-halfyears before any government agency; he "informed thelegislative committee of the State of Washington the de­tails of the Hiss-Chambers Espionage Ring in governmentcircles two weeks before that testimony was brought for­ward in Washington, D. C.," and "he was the first personin the United States to publicly expose the Hiss-ChambersSpy Ring."In view of this, and considerably more, to which Rush­more demurely assented, it is curious that there wasn'ta little more detail developed by Matthews in the identi­fication of Rushmore's background. One reason for pro­ducing him as <l: surprise package may have been the factthat he is another of the ex-Commies who is devoting him­self to the business of telling all as a career. Mr. Rush­more was once film critic for the Daily Worker) and ac­cording to his testimony and that of Matthews, only aparty member is allowed to work on that paper. Rush­more lost his job, however, when he followed the wrongturn in the party-line labyrinth in reviewing "Gone Withthe Wind.'" Rushmore and Matthews had the manner of a well­rehearsed act, as in. fact they were. Both have appearedbefore several other legislative committees with their well­thumbed directories of "front" memberships. Both hadcopies of Rushmore's testimony, the compilation of lists oforganizations in which faculty members were alleged to bemembers. Mr. Rushmore read these off, with occasionalexcursions, suggested by Matthews, into the Hiss-Cham­bers case, the Great Atom Bomb Conspiracy, and othermatters of journalistic record.Dear Mr. Dies:Rushmore blithely enunciated the principle that nocitizen should join any organization unless he wrote firstto the Un-American Activities Committee and found thatthe organization had been given its benediction. He sug­gested that generally speaking there was no need of form­ing organizations for special purposes anyway; the Ameri­can Legion, for example, should suffice to give the nec­essary leadership for democratic action, He announcedthat 27 per cent of all "front" members were educators.With a pleased smirk at the press bench, he expressed theopinion that Mr. Hutchins, by his opening statement, hadbecome the "wondering boy of education."People who join "Communist fronts" often become spiesand traitors, he said, pointing to Clarence Hiskey, theatomic scientist against whom the Uri-American ActivitiesCommittee has made accusation, as one who slid into ap­plied wickedness from an innocent gregariousness. Rush­more gave the impression of assuming, as he could with­out penalty because of legislative immunity, that Hiskey,who has never been arrested, charged, or indicted fortreason or any other subversive activity, was a spy, just ashe assumed that Alger Hiss, whose trial is yet to be held,is guilty. His explanation of Hiskey's descent to the ranksof traitors is in contradiction to that of his fellow Hearstjournalist, Robert A. Stripling, Jr., former chief investi­gator for the Un-American Activities Committee, who hasexplained in print that Hiskey was misled by his wife. Thecontradiction serves only to indicate the free and easy basisfor all this kind of uncontrolled assertion.What Rushmore testified to in relatiori to the Univer­sity was that seven present members of the faculty hadmembership in "front" groups. A summary of affidavitsby the seven, made in reply to Rushmore's assertions, inlieu of the lack of opportunity to answer him in personthat morning, shows that 49 of the 50 allegations are false,or no longer applicable. In a letter transmitting the affi­davits, Laird Bell, chairman of the Board of Trustees ofthe University, and its counsel in the investigation, pointedout-that of the 38 organizations in which Rushmore saidthere were faculty associations, only 11 were listed by theAttorney General as "suspected Communist fronts." An­other 21 attributed memberships have never existed.The most outrageous of Rushmore's statements waswhen he pontificated that Harold C. Urey, one of the keymembers of the team that made the atomic bomb, should18 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO· MAGAZINEbe barred from further work "in view of his long andcontinuous support of Communist-front organizations."Since Mr. Urey was cleared for the war work on thebomb, and since has been cleared for access to all nuclearresearch now in progress, Rushmore was stretching hisown irresponsibility to the limit. To his dictum, Rush­more added the insinuation that Mr. Ur�y might be cur­rently under surveillance. If Rushmore hoped to makeanother Condon case out of Mr. Urey, he was disap­pointed; his opinion attracted little attention.The seven faculty members named by Rushmore, andwhose affidavits will be the subj�ct of the extra hearing,are: Wayne McMillen, professor of social service admini­stration; Harold C. Urey, professor of chemistry; Rob­ert J. Havighurst, professor of education; Ernest W. Bur­gess, professor of sociology; Malcolm P. Sharp, professorof law; Rexford G. Tugwell, professor of political science;James Luther Adams, .professor of religious ethics, Mead­ville Theological Seminary, and member of the FederatedTheological Faculfy.There was one more characteristic piece of innuendobefore the hearings closed. Just before adjournment, theUniversity offered in evidence letters of five chaplains andother clergymen who unequivocally asserted that no evi­dence of indoctrination had ever come to their attentionin their extensive association with faculty and students.These letters had previously been informally presented tothe Commission, and apparently Matthews didn't liketheir tenor. He jumped to his feet, shouting that if theletters were submitted in evidence, he wanted the right to 'submit "the Communist records" of the signers. The Students and facultyof the University aroseone morning in May tofind the front pages oftheir newspapers full ofnews which came as verymuch of a surprise. Mr.Hutchins had been mar­ried the previous evening(May 10) to Vesta Sut­ton Orlick, his assistanton t?e Encyclopedia Brit­annica.They were married byMr. Hutchins' father, Dr.William J.

MILLETT, PhD '31EDITH FOSTER FLINT, the daughter of Rich­ard Norman and Annie Halsted Foster, was bornon May 13, 1873, on the west side of Chicagonear Union Park. Her father was a physician by pro­fession, a "philosopher" by avocation. He was interestedin Swedenborgianism, and both he and his wife weredeeply religious.Their daughter, Edith Burnham Foster, after gradu­ating from the West Division High School, entered theUniversity with its second class, and was graduated fromit in 1897. Years later, she set down some memoriesof her undergraduate experience in the days when "onthe prairie only one thin gray line of buildings rose,composed of Cobb Hall, the Divinity Halls, and aftera long gap, to the northward, Snell Hall," and whenmany of the buildings of the World's Fair of 1893 werestill standing along the Midway. She recalled vividlythe night when the peristyle at the lakeward edge ofthe Great Court of Honor burned. "The tall columnsoutlined themselves against the black of the lake, andthe heroic figures on their tops, above the glorious namesof the states-Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Colorado,Oregon-swayed, tottered, and plunged."A number of her liveliest memories centered in theold one-story back-wall brick gymnasium, where theBeecher Hall basketball team practiced "in long, heavyfull black flannel suits, with sleeved wrists, and collarednecks, and black-stockinged legs," a team that observedthe Yale training-table diet faithfully, and, before itsbig games, "ate sandwiches of scraped beef, for the pro­motion of fierceness." She. also recalled the occasionwhen at a Settlement Benefit she impersonated Electra,"in deadwhite draperies, with a thickly plastered faceand a white cotton wig, gazing searchingly into the faceof Orestes" (Wallace W. Atwood, '97, later Presidentof Clark U niversi ty ) .Her prolonged association with the University facultybegan immediately after her graduation, with her ap-Dr. Millett, a member of the English Depar+men+ from 1927to'1937, is now Professor of English at Wesleyan Univer­sity and Director of its Honors College. Edith Foster Flint '97pointment as an Assistant in English and Head ofBeecher Hall; she' was an Associate in the departmentfrom 1898 to 1900. In the meantime, on December 22,1899, at the Church of the Epiphany, she had becomethe wife of Nott (William) Flint, '98, a native of Chi­cago, whom she had met at the University and who wasalso a member of the English Department. They madetheir home not far south of the Midway, and there theirson Richard Foster was born in 1902, and their son Hal­sted in 1904.Even in the early years of her marriage, her connec­tions with the English Department were unbroken, sinceshe found time to give courses in what was then knownas the Extension Department. Soon, however, two blowsfell that would have broken a person of less spiritualdepth than she. Her husband, Nott Flint, died onFebruary 22, 1906, and her young son Halsted, in 1911.In the autumn aft�r her husband's death, Mrs. Flintresumed her classroom teaching as Instructor in English.She became an Assistant Professor in 1909, an AssociateProfessor in 1914, and a full Professor in 1923, a postshe held until her retirement in 1938. From 1931 to1938, she was the director of the work in English Com­position in the College. She also held responsible ad­ministrative posts. She served as a dean in the Collegeof Arts, Literature and Science from 1918 to 1926, andfrom 1925 to 1932, she was the Chairman of the newlyorganized Women's University Council. Of the need forsuch an organization, Mrs. Flint wrote at the time: "Itmay well be asked why a change from the Deanship ofWomen should have been made, when that office hasbeen a pattern to many other universities throughoutthe years of the University's existence. The answer liesin the size and complexity of the University today. Wehave 73 women on the faculty, 918 graduate women stu­dents, 2939 undergraduate women students. In theIndex of the 1925 Cap and Gown, 73 items concernwomen's organizations alone."After her retirement in 1938, Mrs. Flint continuedto arrange her life in accordance with the familiar'Quarter system. In the early years of her retirement,she visited some of the University classes about which1920 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEher curiosity was most intense, and I recall her describ­ing herself as advancing like an ocean-liner unshakenby wave upon wave of students flooding out of MandelHall. Later, she wrote that she had had "a little pro­fessional renaissance, with a couple of writing groupsand a little literary program now and then. It has -beenfun."She usually spent the Autumn and Spring Quartersin Chicago, the Winter Quarter with her cousin, JanetJameson, in Santa Barbara, and the Summer Quarter,with friends in the East: Eleanor Matz at Wyoming,New York; Robert and Letitia Merrill in Maine; hergod-daughter, Josephine Starr, at Old Deerfield, Mas­sachusetts; and Frances Crane at "Whitecrest," WoodsHole, Massachusetts; or in New Haven, with her son,Richard Flint, '22, Professor of Geology at Yale, hiswife, Margaret Cecil (Haggott), '20, and her belovedgrand-daughter, Anne Rutherford, how a student atRadcliffe.On February 22, 1949, exactly forty-three years afterher husband's death, Mrs. Flint met her death in anautomobile accident in Santa Barbara. In the followingweek, funeral services were held at the Church of theRedeemer, where she had for years been a devout wor­shipper, and she was buried in Oakwoods Cemetery inthe city of which she was proud to be a native.The objective. facts of Mrs. Flint's life fail utterly tosuggest the warmth and richness of her personality orthe nature of her contribution to the University duringthe forty-one years she spent as a member of its faculty.Edith Foster Flint made no pretense to being a scholar,nor was 'she an easy or a prolific writer. Her superbpresence, her polished style, and her flashing wit madeher an excellent speaker; but a fundamental shyness inher made her resist constant pressures to speak in pub­lic. She was content to be a teacher, and she was asplendid teacher because she was a splendid person. Ex­cept for Alfred North Whitehead, she is the only personI have ever met to whom the epithet "magnificent"seems unquestionably appropriate.The sense of magnificence she conveyed even to peo­ple who met her casually arose, I believe, from the singu­lar congruity of her p�ysical and spiritual being. Herheroic stature was matched perfectly by her greatnessof spirit. To those who were fortunate enough to knowher, within and outside the classroom, she gave withunstinting generosity the warmth of her feelings, thewisdom of her insights, the abundance of her wit. It isno wonder that generation after generation of studentsrose up and called her blessed. It is no wonder thatan unending succession of brilliant. students - JohnGuhther, Elizabeth Maddox Roberts, Glenway Wescott,George Dillon, among others-felt that they owed heran overwhelming debt.Edith Foster Flint loved life, and the gusto with whichshe lived it was contagious. She was perfectly frank about the pleasure she took in good food and in good­looking people. She was an extraordinarily keen ob­server of the physical features of the people she knew,and she could describe them with a precision that apainter or novelist might well envy. She was a splendidtalker. Her wit was keen but never malicious. Shehad an unfailing flair for the placement and underscor­ing of a telling word. I can almost hear her beautifully.timed remark about the "lovely young ladies in backlessevening dresses sweeping up the aisles to show you to.the wrong seat."She also stimulated other people to wit. As KathleenCampbell says, "How well one read, how intensely onelistened, how extra-specially aware one became-in herpresence." She enjoyed reciting flavorously the moresatirical verses of Ogden Nash, and later, of John Bet­jeman, From long experience in the classroom, she haddeveloped an enviable skill in "reading aloud. On oneoccasion I recall, after an exquisitely planned dinner inher apartment, she read far into the night to a groupof us the whole of Stevenson's The Wrong Box. "Un­forgettable" to me no less than to her was an eveningat Judson Court when she and a group of students andI read aloud the complete poems of T. S. Eliot. � Hermind met eagerly the challenge of the newest poetry,and on the last evening I spent with her and GeorgeSherburn at West Falmouth, she read us Robert Lowell's"The Death of the Sheriff," of which she said PadraicColum had confessed he could make nothing, and luredus into pooling our insights with hers in the decipheringof the poem.I can think of no more fitting conclusion than Mrs.Flint's account of her last birthday. "Your book andyour birthday. letter added their pleasurableness to avery happy day. This began with a three-way tele­phone chat with Dick and Peggy from New Haven andclosed with the traditional dinner. Alas, the personnelgrow,s less traditional with the years, for Gertrude Dud­ley and Adeline Link have left this world, and CharlotteGrey and Letitia Merrill are on opposite edges of thecontinent. But the new blood which has come in, thatof Judith Bond and Kathleen Campbell, is a vitalstream. That unhurried humor of Judith's, whichalways seems to be a surprise to herself, is a perpetualdelight to me. And Kathleen, in a long dress of scarletsilk jersey, was an eyeful. Judith came bringing flowersfrom her own garden, lilies of the valley, rosy tulips,narcissus, high-bush honeysuckle, and sprays of crab­apple; and Kathleen presented me with a flask of Chiantiand a jar of her very own thimbleberry jam, from theshore of Lake Superior. I have been living embowered,for Dick sent a great box of flowers, and there were anumber of others. Dick and Peggy evidently decided togo to town on Mother's seventy-fifth, for they sent mea beautiful big silver bowl, with an inscription I mustquote to you, so much did it touch me: 'May 13, 1948.The world richer for her wisdom, brighter for her love.' "THE UNIVERSITY OFFOR over fifty years Edith Foster Flintwas a significant influence in the livesof students, alumni, and faculty atThe University of Chicago. The quality ofher personality was unique. Her statureand carriage commanded immediate atten­tion; she was built on noble lines. Of herintellectual capacities I am not adequate tospeak; that must be left to her friendsamong her colleagues, of whom there aremany. I always marvelled at the breadthand extent of her reading, especially ofher knowledge and memory for beautifulverse, ancient through very modern.In the days when I first knew her shehad not long been teaching at the Univer­sity. She was giving English compositionclasses, and hundreds of us wrote our heartsout for her, thereby gaining ability in theuse of the written word, and, equally im­portant to us, giving vent to our perplexi­ties under her wise and understandingeyes.She knew well the emotional and intel­lectual reactions of the young throughmany generations. The wisdom of hercounsel came from an unusual breadth ofexperience; the discriminating and oftencritical red-penciled comments at the endof a theme bore fruit in many minds.All over this land there are men andwomen who have kept in touch with her,and remember her with admiration and CHICAGOA TRIBUTEdeep affection. Many a young author orteacher is grateful for her inspiration andher continued interest in his life and work.During the later years of her teaching,when she shepherded the instructors whowere in charge of the great number of be­ginning English classes, she 'added to herfollowers a group of young faculty, nowscattered over the universities and collegesof this country, who owe a profound debtto her wisdom and direction.Above anyone I have ever known, Mrs.Flint had the capacity for making a friend-.ship infinitely rewarding. She was gener­ous in her approval: if you had one goodquality she would discover it and makeyou aware of it. This faculty of warmcommendation was not limited to a few;her friends were legion and to each shegave that personal approval that made onefeel an important part of her circle. Aftera letter from Mrs. Flint you held yourhead higher. She gave you confidence be­cause she believed in you, and had the joy­ous habit of telling you so. Nor was thisstrengthening of the morale limited to herfriends and acquaintances; whenever a Pull­man porter or a salesman in a store gaveher special consideration-and all who .met MAGAZINE 21her were prompted to do so-she wouldwrite their respective superiors commend­ing their service.She had a deep affection for children,, which they reciprocated. They sensed hercalmness and stability; her very stature gavethem a certain confidence and a feeling ofsecurity. She followed the growing familiesof her many young friends with great in­terest, and was ever mindful of them atbirthdays and Christmas. She liked toknit for them.You could not come into her presencewithout being aware of her serenity. Shehad conquered. The early death of herhusband and one small son had acquaintedher with grief poignant and deep, fromwhich she had emerged triumphant. Tothose, who brought our sorrows to her sheshowed a deep religious faith which wasthe fundamental factor in her life, whichshe worked at ,with conviction, and inwhich she grew to the very last.No one of us could hope to express ade­quately our appreciation of the depth andbreadth and beauty of soul possessed byMrs. Flint. To each one of us who werefortunate enough to know and love her, shehas left some special gift, known but tous, that we shall cherish in our hearts allthe days of our lives.Letitia Fyffe Merrill 114SUCCESS 'FORMULAEC HEM I CAL AND ENGINEERINGNEWS this past spring could almost havebeen the scientists' offshoot of the UNI­VERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE.Midway alumni were cover features onboth the March and April issues, and forgood reason.Agnes Fay Morgan '05, SM'06, PhD'14,came into the limelight by winning the1949 Garvin Medal, highest honor forAmerican women chemists.Irving Klotz, '37, PhD'40, head of theChemistry Department at NorthwesternUniversity, made front page news as 1949recipient of the Eli Lilly award in biolog­ical chemistry.For anyone keeping an eye on the pat­tern of accomplishment shown by boththese campus graduates these latest honorscome not with any surprise.Back in 1914 when Dr. Morgan was firstjob-hunting, she showed a knack of com­bining wisdom with knowledge that hasstood her in good stead ever since. Herdecision to concentrate on fields wherebeing a woman as well as a chemist wouldbe an asset brought immediate dividends.The year 1915 found her teaching the firstscientific human nutrition courses at theUniversity of California.She was first to observe the effects ofsurphur dioxide on vitamins; first to pro­duce greying of hair through vitamin de­ficiency; and first to observe damage tothe adrenalin glands caused by pantothenicacid deficiency.Other "firsts" on the list: recording ofheat damage to proteins; study of the ef­fects of vitamin D on the physiologic ac­tivity of parathyroid extract; and inventorof a patented process for dehydrating scrap­ple.Dr. Morgan has filled many professorialposts at the University of California. In1938 she became chairman of the homeeeconomics department.. She spent fouryears during the war working under OSRD HEADLINERSto improve food dehydration, with specialreference to quality and nutritive value.She is founder and permanent nationalsecretary of the chemistry honorary societyIota Sigma Pi. ,While still a graduate student on theMidway Dr. Klotz became intrigued withthe problem of explaining the mechanismof the action of chemotherapeutic agentsin the animal body. He had a hunch thata major part of this action could be ex­plained in terms of physicochemical phe­nomena, and he decided to look into thispossibility when he finished his thesison "Thermodynamics of Sulfuric Acid So­lutions."This stream of reasoning was divertedby a wartime interruption to study ab­sorption by granular beds. But in 1945 heresumed his quest, this time at North­western. In less than four years the in­vestigation on the Evanston campus has,yielded more than 40 papers for the tech-nical literature and been cause for Klotz'scitation for the Lilly award.MILWAUKEE MENTORIt was 1906 when a druggist in Clark,South Dakota, said to William F. Rasche:".Why don't you try teaching?" Rasche,just out of high school and heading forthe West Coast from his home in Mil­waukee thought it over.He had grown up with his father's yeastand vinegar business on Milwaukee's southside and time away from school had beenspent in manual labor and odd jobs. Thisdruggist, however assured him that forSou th Dakota teaching normal SChDOI de­grees were nice-but .hardly necessary.During the first one month teaching pe­riod which followed there were seventeenin the one-room country school=Rasche andhis sixteen children from the first gradelevel on up. It was in October, 1925, that Raschedecided to study education from the educa­tor's viewpoinj. His three years of experi­ence in vocational work, he says, placedhim in an advantageous position for thesurvey under Judd of Chicago continuationschools.Receiving the M.A. in '27, he workedintermittently thereafter on a doctoratein education. This was awarded in '36following a study of the methods employedin gaining the reading interests of work­ers.Active in Milwaukee civic affairs formany years, .he was selected by the Cos­mopolitan Club of that city to receive itsannual award for distinguished commu­nity service in September, 1944.He is presently devoted to the problemsof the city's Youth Commission, and inmemory of their son, William, Jr., whodied in the wartime sinking of the ex-S.S.Bell off the African coast, Mr. and Mrs.Rasche (she is the former Alice Geilfuss),have recently established a special collec­tion within the Milwaukee Public Librarywhich will each year be enlarged with cur­rent publications in the social and politicalscience fields.Rasche, a tireless worker, has been con­sultant on vocational education problemsto cities in many states; professor of voca­tion at the University of Pittsburgh; per­sonnel director of General Motors TruckCorporation at Pontiac, Michigan, from1928-30; and was loaned to the army inthe winter of 1944 to expedite a trainingplan.Today, as W-isconsin closes its centen­nial year celebrations, William Rascheholds leadership in one of its most signifi­cant and unique undertakings-that ofadult vocational education. He has justfinished the task of being general chair­man of the American Vocational Associa­tion convention held at Milwaukee, andnow returns, as director and principal, tocontrol of the largest institution of its kindin the world-the Milwaukee VocationalSchool.22 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINENEWS OF THE CLASSES1893Madeleine Wallin (Mrs. George C.

Y. • FEW OCCUPATIONS offer a man so much in,the wa y of personal reward as life underwri ting.Many New York Life agents are building verysubstantial futures for themselves by helpingothers plan ahead for theirs. If you would liketo know more about a life insurance career,talk it over with the New York Life managerin your community-or write to the HomeOffice at the address at left.AUghtatZ3Elm StreetThe sun had gone down and thepurple of dusk was turning to the darkof night. A middle-aged man, smok­ing his pipe contentedly, walked downtree-canopied Elm Street.As the man passed number 28,he saw a light come on in the living­room. It was a cheerful light that,somehow, seemed warmer than anyof the lights in neighboring windows.The man often walked down ElmStreet and every time he saw tha t lightin the window he felt the same glowof satisfaction. It meant that all waswell within. Mrs. Allen had put hertwo children to bed and had settledherself for an evening of sewing orreading. Later some friends wouldprobably drop in.Yet how different it might havebeen. The woman was alone wi th twochildren, but hardship had not movedin with them.The man in the street was amodest man, but he could not helpfeeling that he had played an impor­tant part in this story. He remem­bered the nigh t he had persuaded Mr.Allen to take the step that had meantso much to his family just three yearslater. He could not help but feel that,'if Mr. Allen could somehow be walk­ing with him tonight, he would put ahand on his shoulder and say, "I'mglad you came over that night."The man walked on, thinkingback upon his own life. He had been aNew York Life agent for fifteen yearsand often-like tonight, for instance-he felt that he had chosen the bestpossible career for himself. He whis­tled softly as he turned off Elm Streetand headed toward home.IT h" · itd"· b InOW t B inst e plcture �S=C carerTO:QAY, when the doctor uses X-rays for check-up or diag­nosis, he sees and learns much more - and with greateraccuracy-than ever before. For now, in a triumph of sci­ence and research, the X-ray goes far beyond its first roleof showing bone fractures, or locating metal objects thatwere swallowed by mistake.Through the use of chemical "contrast agents," theo-rgans of our bodies are now made to stand out sharply anddistinctly in X-ray pictures. Special chemicals, adminis­tered by mouth or by injection, concentrate in the organ tobe studied. These chemicals offer higher resistance to thepassage of X-rays, resulting in a more vivid picture. Doc­tors are finding this technique especially valuable in study­ing the digestive tract and the kidneys.Better materials have aided medical research in devel­oping these and other aids in X-ray diagnosis. Many typesof X-ray tubes are more effective when filled with nitrogengas. Stronger steels and steels that are stainless give us X-rayequipment that is lighter-easier to handle and maintain. Electrical equipment depends on carbon ... and on insula­tions that are more effective, thinner, and longer lasting,thanks to the better plastics now available.Synthetic chemicals go into "contrast agents" - alsomany medicines and anesthetics, while pure oxygen sus­tains lives during periods of heart and lung difficulty.The people of Union Carbide produce many materialsfor the advancement of medicine. They also produce manyother materials for the use of science and industry - to thebenefit of mankind.FREE: LeI us send you the new illustrated book­let, "Products and Processes," which shows howscience and industry use veC's Alloys, Chemi­cals, Carbons, Gases and Plastics.
