But if you knew Billyou'd know that mild kidding is nostranger to the Notre Dame alumni office.His first paragraph refers to the JanuaryMemo Pad and the picture it carried: "...That picture ... should have run with aCalvert ad. It's without any question, 'aman of distinction' .... "M-m-m-m.

It was suggested thatat least once every three months the pic­tures of all col umnists should accompanytheir col umns.We walked into that trap wide open.Actually we had never thought of theMemo Pad as a column-but a letter home.However, we resisted until another column­ist balked unless we went along with theplan.And that, Bill, is how the man of dis­tinction made the inside front cover.

It's timeto think about rewards and roles for our aging populaceWITHIN OUR lifetime, andwithin our American society, athird phase has ibeen added to the hu­man life cycle.This phase, which I call later ma­turity, is rapidly becoming a majorconcern to us. It poses an economicproblem, in the form of social securityprovisions and pensions. It is a po­litical reality: for by 1980, 27 % ofthe voting public will be 60 or over.Obviously, if this group is ever weldedinto a solid political block, it can se­cure almost anything wi thin reason,and some things beyond reason, fromthe government. It is a matter of in­tense personal concern to the millionsof people who have already reachedlater maturity, and to the tens of mil­lions who have aging parents, orwho will themselves shortly enter thisphase of life.The three phases of one's life coin- By Robert J. Havighurstcide roughly with these age ranges:birth to 20, 20 to 60, and 60 to death.For phase one; an apt name isPreparation. The individual movesthrough infancy, childhood and ado­lescence in a ibroad preparatory move­inent which brings him out into adult­hood at about the age of 20. Thesecond phase may be called that ofPerformance. A man moves throughearly adulthood and middle age, en­gaged in the culminating activities ofmarrying, rearing a family, and pro­ducing economic goods and services­activities essential to the ongoing ofsociety. Then at about 60, he em­barks on a retiring phase, which lasts20 or 30 years and carries him throughthe phase which may be called Re­linquishrnent.These categories aren't foolproof byany means, nor do they fully compre­hend the three life phases. Others2 have been suggested, like: Annuncia­tion, Realization, Renunciation; orAcceleration, Maintenance, and De­celeration.But no term can really conveythe useful picture of life as an un­known continent over which the trav­eler first climbs the slopes and foot­hills, until he reaches the broad cen­tral plateau, and finally, toward theclose of the journey, descends againover a long, easy downgrade until hereaches a western sea where the sunsets.Until very recently, few peoplelived long enough to enjoy the thirdphase of life. Most who survived in­fancy died during the middle periodof Performance. At the beginning ofthe 20th century, only six per cent ofthe American populace was over 60.Three out of four people were cutdown during the periods of Prepara-tion or Performance. Only a hardyfew lived into Relinquishment - agroup without much power and smallenough so that its members fitted intosociety inconspicuously, and withoutovermuch trouble to themselves ortheir neighbors.But today the story is different.Twelve per cent of our populationis over 60, and by 1980" upward of20% will be. At least three out of fourpeople born today can expect to liveinto the period of Relinquishment.Even if they want to, they can nolonger just slip into later maturity andold age unnoticed. There are just toomany of them-too many mouths tofeed, backs to clothe, ibodies to shelter,and votes to count.The Chinese wayEach society evolves its own wayof treating older people. The tradi­tional Chinese society, with its empha­sis on stability, continuity and con­servation, made old age the most hon­ored period of life. Youth and mid­dle age looked up to old age, andsacrificed for its sake. Old age broughtwith it authority, and the right tospeak freely. A Chinese proverb says:"If you wish to succeed, consult threeold men." Eskimo societies, to thecontrary, facing a bitter struggle tokeep the human metabolism going ina frigid environment, rejected old ageas a drain on their social vitality. Anold person, when he felt he could nolonger care for himself, was expectedto wander off alone in the wildernessand die there. The aged among theLabrador Eskimo were sometimes quietly put to death. In Africa, theBushmen forsook their decrepit oldpeople when they moved camp. Veryold Hottentots were carried to solitaryhuts and left with scanty provisions.When missionaries tried to rescuethem, they refused assistance, saying"My children have left me here todie. I am old, you see, and am nolonger able to serve them-it is ourcustom."What will be our attitude towardold age, now that we must face thefact that most Americans are goingto be long-lived? The answer is slowlybeing framed in the minds of theAmerican people, and cannot yet beread i� full. But what the answershould be is worth talking about. Afrank discussion of the matter mayinfluence the answer in some slightdegree.Cicero makes his principal charac-Robert J. Havighurst3 ter, Cato the' Elder, say: "Life's racecourse is fixed; Nature has only asingle path and that path is run butonce, and to each stage of existencehas .been allotted its own appropriatequality; so that the weakness of child­hood, the impetuosity of youth, theseriousness of middle life, the ma­turity of old age-each bears someof Nature's fruit, which must be gar­nered in its own season."Life and its functionsEach phase of life has its ownfunctions, Cato tells us, each bearsits own fruits and provides its ownreward. What then are the appro­priate functions and proper rewards ofthe period of Relinquishment?To frame a proper answer, somedata aibout older people is needed.One important fact is: for 15 or 20years after the age of 60, most peopleenjoy a great deal of energy and vi­tality. They are just beginning to fallaway from their peak of vigor andproductivity. This is more true ofbrain workers than of manual work­ers, but even the latter maintain theirskills quite well, unless handicappedby rheumatism or the like.What's more, the vitality and pro­ductivity of people 60 to 80 years willsurely increase, as medical sciencefinds new ways to stave off invalidismand death. So the period of latermaturity isn't the same as that ofold age, with all that the phrase "oldage" connotes in loss of power, de­pendency, and final senility.It's wise then to divide the Relin­quishment phase into two periods:4 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEthat of later maturity, from 60 to 75,and that of old age, from 75 on.I t is the period of later maturity whichneeds special attention.Today we frankly ignore it. Oneday a man is working full time andefficiently in a responsible position.The next, because it happens to behis 65th birthday, or for some equallyirrelevant reason, he is expected toretire and gracefully become an "oldman" overnight. A woman who is awife and mother faces a transforma­tion not so sharp, but just as difficult.Her change begins in the early fifties,as her children grow up and leavehome. The break between Perform­ance and Relinquishment is not assharp as her husband's, but it is muchmore drawn out.Change in lifeIt is for this period of later matur­ity that Americans must find appro­priate functions and proper rewards.This is when the person's role in. thedrama of life changes sharply. Heceases to play the roles of leader ofmen, teacher of youth, builder, mas­ter mechanic, producer of goods,breadwinner, father, mother, sexualpartner; and gradually the rewardswhich came with these roles disap­pear. What is to take their. place?Must people in later maturity play thebi tter barren roles of outsider-look­ing-i�, recluse, miser, cranky-old­grandma, old':" man - hanging - onto­power, friendless-person-living-in-one­room, human vegetable, believer-in­nothing?The answer depends both on whatolder people do about themselves,and on what society provides them,by way of comfortable roles. Recently,we made a study of the attitudes of1000 adults, between 20 and 60,toward the possible roles of older peo­ple. A list of activities in which olderpeople might take part was submittedand they were asked whether theyapproved or disapproved of olderpeople doing these things: .We found that the general publicgave strongest approval to threekinds of endeavor:1. Continues life as in middle agewith "reasonable" tapering off.For example, "accepts minorcivic responsibility such as mem­bership on committees"; "retires The AuthorUntil recently, says Robert J.Havighurst (Education), Americahasn't thought very seriouslyabout its aging population. Eng­land and the Scandinavian coun­tries, developed insurance and so­cial programs for the aged afterthe last war.There is increasingly sharp in­terest in the field, however, asHavighurst and colleague Er­nest Burgess (Chairman, Sociol­ogy) have found in their old-agestudies at the University. Nowfour years in progress, they aresponsored by the Committee onHuman Development.A recent University round­table on IIHow to Live 100Years Happily" with Havighurstas a participant, provoked 14,-000 listeners into writing. Thefirst University Institute on theProblems of Old Age, held lastsummer on campus, with Havig­hurst as chairman, attracted 100specialists in the fie,ld.Burgess and Havighurst areco-authors of "Personal Adjust­ments in Old Age" (Science Re­search Associates, 1949) andwill shortly publish findings onanother study. In a county seattown near Chicago, about 100pers�ns over 65 are being inter­viewed intensively on the prob­lems, dilemmas and rewards ofold age.Until four years ago, Havig­hurst was better known as an ex­pert on adolescence, and au­thor of "The. Adolescent Char­acter and Personality" writtenwith Hilda Taba. He has an ABfrom Ohio Wesleyan, a PhD inChemistry from Ohio State,taught chemistry and physicsMiami' University (Ohio) and theUniversity of Wisconsin, befor;embarking on the field of experi­mental education. By '37, he wasdirector of the General Educa­tion Board, a Rockefeller-fi­nanced foundation, and in '41joined the University faculty asprofessor of education and sec­retary of the Committee on Hu­man Development. He spenttime in Germany, in both '47and '48, for the Rockefeller Foun­dation, studying social and ed�­cational problems. One of hisrecommendations helped foundthe University project in Frank­furt. from work between the ages of65 and 70"; "plays games withfriends regularly"; "cuts downon work load, but holds on tocontrol of business, or profession,or land."2. Participates in activitres of"elders." For example, "joinsan organization limited to olderpeople"; "spends several hoursa day at club or lodge roomswith old friends."3. Plays specific "old peoples'roles" which are highly favored.For example, "spends a greatdeal of time playing with grand­children or great - grandchil­dren."At the opposite pole, these kind ofactivities were strongly disapproved offor older people:1. Overactive, or prolongs activi­ties of middle age beyond rea­son. For example, "still drivesa car, although his reaction timehas slowed down"; "runs for ahigh state or national office."2. Acts much younger than his age.For example, "seeks the Com­pany of younger people most ofthe time"; "gets married for thesecond time, and to a person 30years younger."3. Inactivity and social isolation.For example, "bas dropped outof all clubs as he has grownolder"; "does nothing, just sitsaround"; "pays very little atten­tion to grown children andtheir friends."When this study was reported in. the press, one headline writer neatlycaptioned the story: Grow Old Grace­fully-Totter a Little. The Americanpublic does expect people to "tottera little" in their later maturity. Itdoesn't fully approve when they tryto hold on to the vigor of their mid­dle years.In summary, these are the condi­tions we must consider in fashioningan American concept of later matur­ity:An increasing proportion of peopleto be found in the older age bracket;older people possessing more vigorthan they did previously; a publicset of attitudes which accents youthand vigor and yet doesn't expectolder people to display them; higheconomic productivity for the societyas a whole; a basic belief in the good-THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEness of living, and in the possibilityof good living at any age.What are the responsibilities of theperson who is moving into this stageof life, and what are those of hissociety?The beginning of later maturity is astage of crises for most people. Theyare facing more new problems andstrange experiences, believe it or not,than at any time since adolescence!, It is no smooth, easy period of grace­fully and gratefully shedding thecares and tasks of a busy life. "Youcan't teach an old dog new tricks,"goes the saying, yet people in theirsixties must learn more new thingsthan the middleaged. Moreover, theyhave to unlearn many old habits andattitudes, which no longer serve themwell. These adjustment problems takethe real measure of a man or woman,and put a whole life to test. Successesand failures in youth and adulthoodare reflected in the successes and fail­ures with which they meet later ma­turity.Their four major problems areroughly as follows:1. Adjustment to Death of Spouse.In our research work, we often hearremarks like: "I hope when my wife(or husband) dies, I can go too. Lifewon't be worth while after that."After 40 or 50 years of living with amarital partner, it is difficult in theextreme to face life alone. A manand wife become so thoroughly wed­ded, they work out a single life pat­tern which cannot go on, without theboth of them.Getting along without one's spouseis usually the woman's task in theUSA. Men die younger than women,and women tend to marry older men.The average woman is a widow, be­fore she is 70. The average man doesnot lose his wife until he is 85.2. Adjustment to Loss of Employ­ment and Reduced Income.In American society, a job is theaxis of life for most men, and a goodmany women. Without work, the in­dividual feels he no longer counts,that he is no longer a worthy memberof society. Yet occupation must beabandoned by the majority of people,professional or manual workers, some­time between the ages of 60 and 70.Half of American men quit work by65.Some people fill the vacuum created by retirement with a useful and in­teresting leisure-time activity; othersfind a part-time job to keep thembusy and happy; too many fret andmope over forced inactivity.Money problemsIf one's income is seriously cut,along with retirement, another crucialproblem appears, that of reducing ex­penditures, which usually also meansnarrowing of contacts. An elderlylady will feel she must drop out ofDR. HAVIGHURSTPREDICTS:That some of these solutionsto the problems of old age mayevolve in the future:1. Schools for older people..with classes in investments,hobbies, dramatics, dancing,music and films. A few suchexperimental courses have al­ready met with considerableresponse.2. Single family houses with asmall section on the groundfloor, known as the grand­mother apartment.3. An O.M.C.A., or O.W.C.A.,patterned after the Y.M.C.A.and Y.W.C.A.4. Increasing numbers of doc­tors, who specialize in thediseases of old age.5. Politics catering to olderpeople, who if they vote ina block, will be more nu­merous than veterans or or­ganized labor.6. Newspapers, r a d i 0 sandmovies keying entertainmentto older people. Newspapersmay have "Old Age Editors,"just as they now have sportsand financial editors.7. Small villages in warm cli­mates, especially planned forolder people, with movies,libraries, res ta uran ts andchurches.her Ladies Circle, because she cannotpay her dues. An older man stops at­tending lodge, at a time when he hasmore leisure time than ever before.At present, this task is made need­lessly difficult for people. In certainprofessions the retirement rules are 5inflexibly rigid. Business and in­dustry are rejecting older people andretiring their employees relativelyyoung. Yet, during the war, manymen in their 60's and 70's proved cap­able of doing 80ra as much work asin their prime. Our society's abilityto treat its members as human indi­viduals, and not as mere cogs in amachine, is put to the test in this mat­ter of retirement policy.3. Affiliation with the Age-Group ofElders.Try as one can to keep young, andto avoid being classed as "elderly"the day must come when you say toyourself: "I'm not as young as I usedto be-I'd better be my age." Thisframe of mind is hastened by thefact that the cost of participating in amiddle-age group rises more steeplythan the gains. Middle-age life mayprove fatiguing, and the tempo toorapid; the older person becomes em­barrassed at being unable to keep up,financially, physically and vocationallywith the younger group. He may feelignored, or pushed aside by younger·people.Then he begins to find more rewardin an older-age group. The tempo oflife is more comfortable, and bettersuited to him; he finds companion­ship more easily among other peoplewho have leisure time; more positionsof prestige and leadership are opento him. For 30 or 40 years, the agingperson has participated in occupa­tional, social and religious groups, inwhich age-grading was at a minimumand status was achieved on the basisof social position, economic power,talent and other things largely in­dependent of age. Now he must learnto participate once more in an age­graded group.4. Adjustment to Decrease of Phys­ical Vigor.Eventually, no matter how wellcared for, or how much a person hasbeen spared accident and germ dis­eases the human body ages, in al­most everyone of its cells and cellularsystems. Cells gradually lose theirself-repairing properties, and slowdown in their nutritional processes.The senses lose their acuity. Heartdisease comes on slowly for at least50ro of older people, and makes in­valids out of many. Fully half thepersons who live to be 70 must adapt6 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEthemselves to several years of invalid­ism before they die.5. Finding Satisfactory Living Ar­rangements.The high incidence of heart dis­ease and rheumatism in older peoplemakes physical exertion difficult ordangerous, and argues against stair­climbing and heavy housework. Foodpreparation and selection must bemore careful. Decreasing metabolicactivity of the body makes it difficultfor an older person to keep warm, andhe requires good heating facilities.The chief things elderly people lookfor in housing, studies show, are:quiet, privacy, independence of action,nearness to relatives and friends, resi­dence among own cultural group,cheapness, closeness to transportationlines and' communal institutions-li­braries, shops, movies, churches.Where to live?Seventy-eight per cent of men over60, it was found in 1940, lived inprivate households as heads of fami­lies; 38% of the women lived in pri­'va te households as wives of the headsof the home, and another 30% in pri­vate households as heads of families.Of those who didn't reside in theirown homes, women lived mostly withchildren (180/0), men about equallywith children (8%) and in privatehomes as lodgers (5%). Only 4.5%of men and 3.3% of women over 60lived in old people's homes, hotelsand lodging houses . . . partially 'be­cause of the scarcity of good institu­tions.The following housing arrangementshave been suggested for older people:Small villages in warm climatesspecifically planned for old people.These villages should have movie, li­brary, restaurant and church facilities.Housing units specially designedfor older people in all parts of thecity, with heating, cooking and laun­dry facilities planned for their use.Dwelling units (small a partmen ts) ,in single-family residences, designedfor three-generation families. Grand­parents would have a small apart­ment of their own, which would givethem quiet and privacy, and yet theywould be in the same house with therest of the family, and could help andbe helped as need arises.Cooperative housing projects for older people, with communal eating,laundry and other facilities.Old people's homes, best for peoplewith limited ability to care for. them­selves physically.The way each man or woman ad­justs to later maturity depends, ofcourse, on his native equipment formeeting these and other problems.He must draw on the slow accretion ofhis experience and wisdom in dealingwith life, and in part on the explicitpreparations he has made for old age.These might be as follows: Fre­quent medical examinations and in­formed attention paid to diet, in his50's and 60's. By many foresightfulsteps, he can postpone or mitigatemany of the physical ills we mistakenlytake for granted as inevitable in laterlife. Again, he can safeguard his eco­nomic future by wise choices in insur­ance, annuity, home ownership, andso on. Groundwork for retirementmay consist in tapering off slowly,from a professional practice, retailbusiness or farm; or finding a part­time job to last several years after re­tirement from one's regular job; or de­veloping a hobby, either with orwithout money-making possibilities.Two approaches to old ageGenerally, these two philosophiesexist about later maturity, and muchcan be said for both of them.One has been called the Stay r oung-K eep Active approach. Its creedis: Keep on working. If retired fromone jab, get another. Do something,by all means. Good samples of suc­cessful practitioners: Bernard Baruch,Alben Barkley, Arturo Toscanini, Wil­liam Green, Herbert Hoover.A young woman with an eye forthe practical recently formed the proj­ect known as Grandmothers, Inc.The idea was to develop 'branches inmany 'cities for grandmothers whowant to keep active and earn money.An employment office is to be estab­lished to seek out jobs that olderwomen can perform well, such asbaby - tending, operating telephoneswitchboards during periods of lightwork, temporary sales jobs, and lead­ing groups of older people for recrea­tion.The Keep Active philosophy is per­sonified especially by retired YMCAsecretaries, perhaps more than any other occupational group. They usu­ally retire from YMCA work in theirearly sixties, and get other employ­ment. Out of 110 retired secretaries,in the midwestern area with an aver­age age of 72, 69 were employed fullor part-time in 1946-47. Fifty-threeper cent of the 69 said they were ashappy or happier in their work thanbefore. Thirty-nine of the 69 had in­comes as great or greater than at thetime of retirement.Growing 'old, gracefullyThe alternative is the Grow OldGracefully-Rocking Chair Approach.Social horizons are gradually nar­rowed, efforts and responsibilities re­duced, physical activity slowed down.If the process of slow-tapering-off isextended over 20 or 25 years, thenRelinquishment may be rewardedwith its most appropriate and satisfy­ing fruits. The older person mayturn over his business responsibilitiesto a younger man, or if he has workedat a trade or in a factory, retire andlive on his Social Security benefit,eked out by money from odd jobs.The older woman may drop out ofhen, more strenuous church activitiesand keep house modestly, often mov­ing to a smaller house or apartment.She visits her children occasionallyand plays with the grandchildren butdoesn't attempt to manage any partof their lives. With this slowing downof the life pattern is combined an in­creased interest in the activities of thepresent and immediate future, as con­trasted with the greater emphasis onthe next year or five or ten years,found in the Stay Young Group.The Grow Old clan tends to live agreat deal with memories.There a ppear to be social s ta tusand sex differences in the choices ofthese two ways of life in old age.Generally, people of middle class statusfollow the Stay Young theory, whilethose of lower class status Grow OldGracefully. The upper class is dividedrather evenly between the two. Char­acteristically, the upper-middle classbusiness or professional person findsit most awkward to grow old. Heinsists on staying young, or denyingthe fact of his age, though it may bepatent to everyone else.Again, men tend to prefer the Stay(Continued on page 22)HOW .TO STUDYWant to learn more, get out of a rut, advance on the job?Adult study can help-,and it isn't so hardEditor's Note-Time andagain, counselors at the U ni­uersity's Downtown Co l l e g eheard adults say: «I want tostudy, but I'm not sure I cando the work any more." "It'sbeen such a long time since 1was in school, I feel very rusty."ret the desire to learn more,to .advance on, the job, to ge;out of the rut of the middleyears-in short, the motivationsfor study - were far greaterthan among younger people.So a two-session, tuition-freerefresher course was scheduledfor winter quarter, titled "Hoioto Study." Casual mention wasmade that 125 people could beaccommodated. The quota wasfilled on the basis of a singleletter sent to personnel direc­tors in Chicago industry. Whenthe regular announcement ap­peared, then came the realdeluge.A second section for 125 wasopened, then a third, then afourth. N ow, it appears, thecourse will be repeated at thebeginning of each quarter.Sessions included talks byCyril Houle, Dean of ihe Down­town College, Mrs. ElizabethSimpson, director of the AdultReading Service for the IllinoisI nstitute of Technology, andCharles Nelson, Director of theBasic Program of Liberal Edu­cation for Adults, and the GreatBooks program.Reading tests were also given,and unfortunately it is impossi­ble to duplicate the spontaneousdiscussion which took place insmaller groups, after the talks.In essence, however, this was, the nub of the sensationally-suc­cessful "Hoto to Study" series. 8.ACK IN the third century B.C.,King Ptolemy J asked Euclidto teach him geometry, by somemethod less arduous than the onewhich was theri-and is _' now-invogue. A little austerely, Euc1�d, re­plied: "There is no royal road _'togeometry. "There is no royal road to any kindof learning that is worthwhile, Thebest a course in How to Study cando is provide you with flashlight,compass, and certain wise old say­ings, as comfort when you feel lost.You ask: Can adults learn? Canthey learn anything really significant?Does what they learn really matter?As encouragement, history showstime and again tha tadults are educatable.Through the centuries,many busy and distin­guished men have. foundit profitable, delightfulor necessary to use theirrna ture years in furtherstudy. None of the greatand renowned teachers­Plato,' Socrates, Confu­cius or Buddha - taughtchildren.Modern psychologicalresearch is just beginningto appraise the kind andquality of learning whichis appropriate to eachphase of life. We haveno conclusive answersyet, but existing data, insomewhat wavering' fash­ion, point to several in­teresting conclusions.1. Adults can learnbetter than children can.The general ability-to- ,_learn rises throughout Dean Cyril O. Houle gives some encouraging factschildhood, levels. off at and figures about the ability of adults to learn.By Cyril O. Houle7 about 20, and begins declining againonly very gradually after the ageof 30.H we divide the general "ability­to-learn" into its two parts-"ca­pacity to absorb learning" and "speedof learning," we find that only thelatter declines.2. Thus-Older people can stilllearn whatever they want to learn.It just takes them longer.Why? Is it because of any slack­ening of mental powers, or the grad­ual slowing down of physical reac­tions? For certain kinds of learning,involving physical skills, this is partlytrue. However, one pertinent studydivided adults into two groups: inthe first, people who had never em­barked on any formal learning in8 'T H E U N I V E R SIT Y 0 F CHI C AGO MAG A Z I N Eadulthood; in the other, those whohad engaged in educational activitiesthroughout their maturity. The speedof learning declined much greater ingroup one, than group two.2. So-Ability to learn is stronglyaffected by practice. One who keepson learning, retains the ability.The American public is studyi'ngToday, and increasingly for thepast 25 years, adults have been learn­ing such a wide array of skills and artsyou are tempted to conclude that anyadult can learn anything. InYMCA's, in public evening schools,correspondence and University ex­tension courses, through directed read­ing in libraries, they are acquiringnew facts. They are heighteningtheir appreciation and enjoyment ofaesthetic values. They are gainingunderstanding which makes experi­ence meaningful by relating it togeneral concepts. They are even be­ing subject to influences whichchange their life attitudes in funda­mental ways.There are, of course, limits to theability to learn. Some people nat­urally have more innate talent andpotentiality than others.. A greatmany people can learn to play thepiano, or absorb facts about history,or understand metaphysics, or ap­preciate the fine arts. But some willalways do so with more quality anddepth. That is as true of children,as it is of adults. It is an attributeof humanity, not maturity.Psychiatrists say that certain per­sonality traits are structural, arid cannever be changed in later life. Thenature of these elements isn't quiteclear, and seems to vary from psy­chiatrist to psychiatrist, but there isno doubt truth to the contention.However, if we were to take literallythe assumption that one's personalityis irrevocably formed by the age ofthree, then even nursery school is toolate to be educated!Despite these general limitations,adult students demonstrate to us con­stantly, at the downtown college, that!heir learning does make a differ­�nce. As they register for their sec­ond or fiftieth course, they tell us howstudy has been of value-perhaps they For anyone who doesn't know quite what to study, counseling advice is a goodidea. It's available at the Downtown College, which now offers more than 90courses for credit and 25 lecture and seminar groups. A dean, Russell Becker,is here being helpful.understand the world better, theyappreciate life more, they have ac­quired new abilities or insights whichmake them more effective individ­uals. They may even have movedinto better. jobs. .Statistics culled from studies ofother segments of the population,lead to the same conclusion. A sur­vey, held by the Agricultural Exten­sion Service of the U. S. Departmentof Agriculture, shows that the pro­ductivity of both rural and urbanworkers rises sharply after trainingprograms are introduced. We candefinitely see that accidents, diseaseand delinquency decrease as theircause and prevention are taught theadult citizenry.These results are parallelled, in lessdramatic .form, in the cultural andsocial realms. The great social ad­vances of the Scandinavian coun­tries, which have enjoyed the mostadvanced and broadly based adultstudy programs for 100 years, is theclearest illustration of the power of.adult learning.The conclusion seems inescapable:that adults can learn, they can learnany variety of things, and what theylearn really matters. II. By Charles Arthur NelsonROBERT BENCHLEY, in MyTen rears in a Quandary andHow They Grew writes about a manwho told his parrot to roll over. Theparrot obliged, and this set Benchleyto pondering.He wondered what he would dofirst, to influence a parrot into rollingover ... or just where he would beginin building a bridge, or rearing askyscraper.It's a point well taken-for it'sthat first move, in any creative en­deavor, which seems most formidable.Once under way, things aren't sotough.In adult study, the first move isdeciding on a subject to study. Thisisn't always as easy as it sounds. Atthe downtown college, we talk tomany undecided people. They mayhave technical educations, and wantto embark on broader studies-justwhich ones they're not sure. Otherswant mental stimulus, or to furtherpursue college studies, but don'tknow how to go about it. If in doubt,seek counseling advice, available atany good adult education center. Acounselor can help you settle quicklyTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEon a profitable program.Then set up a time schedule, andarrange regular periods of study.This is especially important foradults who usually have many inter­ests competirig for their time. It'snot too difficult, believe it or not, torise an hour earlier in the morning,and then, after breakfast and :abracing cup of coffee, to study foran hour before work begins. . Thisis an excellent study period, for youare most alert, and your mentalequipment is fresh and rested. No onewho puts in a full day in office orshop, and comes home a nerve-rackedcommuter, can expect to apply him­self very diligently in the evening toSpanish or the Great Books-especiallywith distractions from family orfriends.Early morning study, for shortperiods, has another advantage. Sur­veys of learning habits indicate thatcomparatively short periods of learn­ing, regularly spaced, are more effec­tive than long, concentrated ones.Again, this is especially true forworking people, who may find theirstudy habits a bit rusty, and notstrong enough to permit continual,efficient performance over long peri­ods.Next, find the right place to study.I sugges't, as an ideal, a solitary room,well-lit, and temperately heated. Youare not disqualified if you live in anoverheated, dark, two - and - a - halfroom apartment, and have four noisy,growing youngsters and a wife whois enthralled by television. But thesearen't the best conditions underwhich learning takes place.Once these simple first moves aremade, you will find yourself becom­ing concerned with the problemswhich the subject itself raises, ratherthan the problem of how to study.You are on the road to learning.Author Nelson Algren said recentlythat you learn to write by writing.You also learn to study by studying,but that doesn't mean there aren'tstudy habits which will prove useful.How to readReading habits are important. Youmay have to grapple with many kindsof material, and your reading speed,and trea tmen t, should vary with eachkind. Textbooks are generally straight­forward, expository works, but the student may also peruse artistic andhistorical volumes, newspaper andmagazine articles, fiction. An ad­vanced text on International Rela­tions cannot be read at the samespeed as Forever Amber. If youmust read Forever Amber-and Ican't think of any good reason whyyou should-do so at breakneckspeed. No matter how rapid thepace, you are still wasting your time.In general,. .even more reputableworks of fiction can be read fasterthan expository or difficult artisticworks. Reading speed varies thenwith difficulty of comprehension.Treatment should vary as well. Toread a textbook, first examine thetable of contents, and skim the wholevolume rapidly. Then read it a sec­ond time, more carefully, chapter bychapter, and at the end of each chap­ter, perhaps, write a short outline.This should cover the leading ideas,most definitive propositions, andcrucial facts which have been pre­sented. Re-read the book rapidly athird time to see it as a whole, andthe relationship of the parts to thatwhole.Obviously, a novel is not read thisway. Any work of art must be seenin its unbroken entirety, to be un­derstood at all. A poem or play re­quires successive and careful reread­ings of the entire work to yield fullcomprehension.How to listenListening habits make a differencetoo. Unfortunately, a great deal ofeducating is done via lecture. Tobe profitable, the lecture should begood, but the audience must also lis­ten creatively. Whether the taking ofnotes is advisable depends entirely onhow they are taken, and used. Theyshould provide a clear outline of thelectures' essential ideas, and later bereviewed. Notebooks are nearly alwaysthe graveyards of information whichstudents fail to master. Review-orra ther reflection and recollection-s-isessential in listening in order to learn.How to writeWriting, a third step III the studypattern, usually takes the shape ofessays or reports. These are writtenfrom outline, but there is an easy andhard way to begin.Need you have a crystal-clearoutline in mind before you put any- 9thing on paper?Quite the contrary. You, will findthat you rarely get anything written,if you insist on so logical and am­bitious a mental ordering. Thesoundest, quickest way is to simplywrite down, as it occurs to you andwithout regard for order, anythingthat comes into your head on thesubject. You may find, in the jum­ble, that you have interspersed exam­ples and anecdotes with main ideas,chance phrases, and perhaps some to­tally irrelevant points. Don't worry,this first rough collection will servethe great purpose of getting started.Once you've jotted down every­thing you can think of, it becomesfairly easy to go back and identifythe main ideas, and secondary points;you may even find that additionalmaterial occurs to you, in the com­posing of the next draft. Thinkingand reflection on the subject will befacilitated by the written reminders.Your second outline, then, is theone which brings order out of chaos.When it is finished, you can com­pose the masterpiece itself, in yet athird version. Ideas clearly in mind,you now concentrate on phrasing, sen­tence structure and grammar. Writeclearly, by all means, for clarity isnearly always the mark of clear think­ing. Even the most obscure and com­plex ideas need not be expressed ob­scurely and complexly.When to stopWhen should you stop reading orwriting?Logically, I suppose, on finishing acertain portion of work. But if youare a procrastinator, like most of thehuman race, you may find it easier toresume work at some point easilypicked up. So try stopping in themiddle of something you already haveclearly in mind. Go back to work,next time, at a painless starting point;then you can work up some steambefore tackling the next tough prob­lem.Here is one very general observa­tion about the nature of learningwhich may prove useful.In his Aims of Education, AlfredNorth Whitehead describes 'the learn­ing cycle. It consists of three stages-those of romance, precision, andgeneralization. Every learning expe-10 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINErience, to be complete, must roundthis, cycle.Three steps in learning, The stage of romance is that firstperiod of excitement and unregulatedexhiliration about the 0 b j e c t ofknowledge. A 13-year old boy's ex­citement on mixing chemicals andproducing invisible ink, for the firsttime, might be an example. Romanceprovides the incentive for more care­ful examination.The second stage, precision, re­quires the orderly mastery of facts,data, information. In the study oflanguage, it would be mastering con­jugations and declensions; in mathe­matic, equations; in chemistry, formu­las; in history, dates; in law, prece­dents and procedures.Generalization is the stage of fru­ition, when knowledge becomes usefulin discovering general ideas .amongparticular cases. One discovers prin­ciples for action, in the fields of ethicsor politics; principles for interpreta­tion, in constitutional law; certainlaws, in physics; tendencies in eco­nomics; doctrines in theology; gram­matical and rhetorical principles inwritten and spoken languages.Unfortunately, too many of us mis­take learning for either the 'romanceor precision stages alone. But I re­peat, learning is abortive unless itgoes through all three cycles.Teaching and learning methodsclearly differ in each stage. If youcan roughly gauge where you stand,in any given subject, in relation tothe cycle, you can more successfullyadapt study habits to your presentneeds. In the stage of precision, rotememory is the usual intellectual atti­tude; but an attitude of carefree, andeven reckless, abandon is more suit­able to the" stage of romance. Gen­eralizations are arrived at only afteran uninhibited, and yet disciplined,over-view of the whole field, in itsmost romantic and precise aspects.Getting back to Benchley, there is athird moral to the story. Don't be aparrot. Most students spend most oftheir study time cultivating the artof imitating their teachers. They re­gard learning as the art, of reproduc­ing on examination papers the opin­ions of the instructor. They recallhis particular emphases, rememberthe facts he remembers. If he be aThomistic philosopher or Keynsian economist, then they are faithfullyThomists or Keynsians.I repeat don't be a parrot. Learn­ing should be an independent activ­ity of your own mind. You can studybad textbooks, appease bad teachers,and make good scores on bad exam­inations, without really learning any­thing. Learning is. the developmentof your critical powers; and you needcourage to be critical.True learning requires moral, aswell as intellectual growth.III. By Mrs. Elizabeth SimpsonPEARL BUCK wrote in a recentarticle, "Most Americans read inhal ting fashion, balking at long words,confused by ideas conveyed throughcombinations of letters."The facts back her up. The averageadult goes through life with a readingability no 'better than he had in sixthor seventh grade. He reads about150 to 250 words a minute, thougha college graduate may average 350,to 450. Even this is under par. For500 to 600 words a minute is the speedadvisable and easily possible for mostpeople. Experts say, as a matter offact, that the great majority of peopleare only 20% as efficient in their read­ing as they could be.What is really unfortunate is thatpoor reading can have the most un­happy consequences, seldom reckonedon by the poor reader. It appears tobe the most important single causeoperative in scholastic .failures-fromthe grammar school through univer­sity level. It can be the root of seri­ous personality problems, and in someinstances, handicap an otherwise dili­gent person in his job.Reading, as you may begin togather, is, by no means the simplecommunicative skill it seems.I t is important first to understandthe nature of the reading process.Some people mistake slow readingfor thorough reading, and think thatrapid reading must necessarily beca;eless. This isn't true. The slowreader is usually the word reader,who pauses or fixes on each word, oreven parts of words. In this chopped­up fashion, he understands very little'of what he reads, and spends far toomuch time in the process. Often hemay be carrying over the oral readingof his childhood into silent reading.This results in some form of vocaliza- tion, or sub-vocalization-in lip orthroat movement, or the hearing andseeing of just one word at a time.The good reader, on the other hand,reads in thought units, and his eye­span embraces more' than one wordeach time he fixates. Consequentlyhis understanding is better. The aver­age adult can read 300 words aioudper minute. He should be able to 1double the rate, reading silently.Four factors play a role in yourreading habits:Mental capacityVisual skillsReading skillsPersonali tyYour mental capacity, as you mightsuppose, sets the limits on how muchyou can improve and achieve. Visualadjustment - including muscle' bal­ance, acuity, depth perception, insum, the 21 skills of vision-helpsbetter reading. Reading skills coverword - recognition, word - meanings,comprehension, and reading rate. Theperson who has a reading problemmay find it rooted in deeper problemsof the whole personality. It may bea neurotic manifestation, so he mustconsider this too, in trying to improvehis skill.No magic solutionI wish I could say that one book,method, or instrument would magic­ally solve all reading problems. Goodtexts on reading problems are still inthe process of preparation and atpresent, some kind of professionalhelp is almost necessary to the im­proving of skills.But because many people maynever find the time, nor opportunity,to seek professional assistance, a listof some of the ways we work in read­ing clinics may prove helpful.If your trouble lies in recognizingwords, we advise you to:1. Learn more about the soundsof letters.2. Study .the rules of syllabication.To develop vocabulary:1. Use contextual clues, or thematerial which has gone beforeand after, to enrich one's un­derstanding of, the shades anddegrees of word meanings.2. Learn, and make use of, the30 or 40 most common prefixes,suffixes and roots of words tounlock word meanings.(Continued on page 24)Author Ed Diamond. left. and Leon Gabinet brake- to a snow-flying halt as they fight for the puck near the board.MAYHEM ON 56TH STREETNature and its whims-including a pair offrozen glasses and the birth of a baby­almost "de-iced" a hockey teamEVERY dyed-in-the-wool sportsfan likes a sports quiz! For ex­ample, what sport can be in seasonand out of season at the same time?Answer? Outdoor ice hockey! Howcome? Well, if the weatherman pre­dicts freezing weather, you're in sea­son; and if he says warm for tomor­row, you're out of season. Thereinlies the story . of how ice hockey atthe University began.The University hockey team dates By Ed Diamond, 147. AM'49from three years ago. Always readyto send a team to the athletic wars(see January issue-physical educa­tion department issues grid equipmentand Plato whips Aristotle, 6-0) thedepartment rounded up the neces­sary equipment and the boys wereoutfitted.

BiU Bissell. front center. andBob Lindblom. extreme right. fight for puck.The team soon discovered there isnot always any relation betweenpracticing for games and playingthem-at least, in outdoor hockey.January and February blew hot andcold-with less of the latter-and iceand hockey were strangers. A frozenplaying site never "crystallized." Then,Nature intervened again. The man­ager-captain-goalie Bill Pfender, '47,became a father and left ice hockeyfor bottle duty at his wife's request.The coming of the Pfender babyand the temperamental weather closeda season which never opened.The next year was more successful.The weather was uniformly cold andthe new squad took upon itself an­other captain-this one also a goalie.The new captain, Dave Rendleman,'48, was not indiscriminately selected.The squad could not cope withNature and its whims, but it couldbe sure that Rendleman was unmar­ried! He handled his administrativeduties well. But the squad that sea­son was to learn even more aboutselection of goalies. Rendleman woreglasses and the cold caused them tofrost; opponents scored almost at will.The University hockey team of 1948finished the season ingloriously-novictories and five defeats. The squad,dejected, noted mentally that no fu­ture captain-goalie would be marriedor wear glasses - especially if the glasses frosted up when opponentswere in scoring position.The following year, last season, thehockey team came into its own. Play­ing a full six-game schedule it droppedonly two contests. Several of thescores were respectable-even by pro­fessional standards: 4-2, 8-7, 7-2.To show how in this sport it is easyto rise from obscurity-one athletewho had scor-ed only one goal in twoprevious years of regular and practicesessions, netted three goals in theopener against Wheaton College. Hefinished the season with seven more.Then came the announcement ofthe 1949-50 season. As this story iswritten the personnel of the squad isalmost determined. Only the weathercan prevent fulfillment of the schedule.The team's outlook this season issomewhat dimmed; one outstandingveteran has taken leave for Canadaand a government job. Another, ablonde athlete known only as the "Fly­ing Finn," has returned to Finlandon an expired visa. But, on the favor­able side, and this is not according toprecedent, last year's captain, unmar­ried and minus glasses, is ready foraction. And so are many others whocome from such icy sectors as Minne­sota and Canada. There are someChicagoans on the squad (and evensome Southerners).The names of this year's opponents12 reads like a sandlot league-South ..west Falcons, 75th Street BuzzardsOak Park Acorns, Dante Lions, Polish�American Flyers, Chi-Guys and Backof the Yards Aces.The �verage fan might assume thathockey .is inherently a "dirty" game.On the contrary, it's a clean, hardgame which produces surprisingly fewinjuries.vThe '(mly ones incurred areminor+ecut lips, bruised ribs, bloodynoses.

HutchinsMemorial address given by theChancellor at services in RockefellerMemorial Chapel on January 10.I HAVE BEEN asked to say a few. personal words about our friendPaul S. Russell, and I am glad to doit; for I knew him well and admiredhim greatly. I cannot do him justice,hut probably none of us could do that,because he was a versatile, many-sidedman, whose activities were so numer­ous that none of us could 'be associ­ated with him in all of them. He wasgood citizenship personified. Noworthy cause went without his help.He was a leader in many of them.His three principal interests were hisfamily, the Harris Trust, which henever referred to except as The Bank,and the University of Chicago. I haveto talk about him chiefly as I saw himin connection with the University ofChicago.Of his three principal interests hisfamily of course came first. It wouldhe hard to say which came next, theUniversity or The Bank. I tried tofind out several times by asking himto resign from the Bank and becomean officer of the University. He al­ways put me off by referring to hisobligations and by saying that hecould do more for the University asa trustee than an officer. But I sus­pect that he was destined to be presi­dent of The Bank. We may be grate­ful that he lived to fulfil his destiny.I first met Pete Russell more thantwenty years ago at Lakeside, when Icame out to be inspected as a possiblepresident for the University. I wastold that he was a University of Chi­cago football hero and a bond sales­man. I was struck, of course, by hiswonderful appearance and physique,for he looked and. moved like a youngIndian chief in one of FenimoreCooper's novels. But I was even morestruck by his conversation. He saton the floor in Harold Swift's livingroom and talked about the Universityin a way in which I had never heardany alumnus, and certainly no foot­ball - playing, bond - selling alumnus,talk about his Alma Mater before. He Paul S. Russellwas interested in education and ineducational ideas, and he wanted toknow what the University of Chicagocould do about them.He had a very strong sentimentalattachment to the University. He andhis wife and children had all studiedhere. His best friend was Chairmanof the Board, and he was himself themost popular member of the alumnibody. The unusual thing was thatwith such a deep romantic feelingabout the University he had such aclear view of its aims and what itshould do to achieve them. He wasprepared to favor any change that hethought would make the Universitya better educational institution. Thereason was that he had an originaland independent mind. He was oneof the rare people who can look aproblem in the face and ask what isthe right thing to do about it, with­out regard to prejudice or interest.You may imagine the gratitude I felton more than one occasion 'when Iwas able to say to the constituency ofthe University that Pete Russell hadapproved a move of which they werecomplaining. The alumni had confi­dence in Pete; because they had con­fidence in him they would not opposepolicies that he supported.No one who knew Pete Russellcould suppose that he was misguidedor dragooned. He made up his ownmind. His decision could be wrong;but it was always his. I have hadmany heated arguments with him overthe years, some of which I lost. As atrustee he was as faithful in his at-13 tendance as he was penetrating in hiscriticism. He was a master of theembarrassing question. His favoritetechnique was to make the most out­rageous interpretations, accusations,and inquiries with a perfectly straightface. When he had succeeded in pro­voking a reaction he would go offinto those gales of laughter which areamong my pleasantest recollections ofUniversity meetings.It is hard to imagine the Universitywithout Pete Russell. In an almostliteral sense he" lived and died on thiscampus. He knew all the alumni. Heknew as many professors as the officersof the U niversity, and far more stu­dents. He and his wife .and childrenmade their home a center for Uni­versity people of all ages. He was amember of the Board of InternationalHouse from his foundation and had adefinitive influence on the policy ofthe House in its formative years. Hewas for many years a member of theCommittee on Instruction and Re­search of the Board of Trustees. Hehad been Chairman of its Committeeon Development. He was a memberof the special committee on the En­cyclopaedia Britannica, in the ac­quisition of which he played a leadingrole. At the time of his death he wasChairman of the Investment Commit­tee arid a member of the Budget Com­mittee and the Medical and BiologicalCouncil.He had the financial interests ofthe University constantly on his mind.He was continually asking people formoney for the University and alwaysprodding the officers to ask for it. Hisviews of university investment policywere not quite conventional; for hewas imaginative and daring in thisrespect as he was in every other. ButI had an opportunity of watching theresults of his advice over a long pe­riod of time, and the predictions hemade and the policies he recommend­ed have turned out to he right.Yet he knew that if an insti tu tionhas no ideas, all the money in theworld will not do it any good. Hewas excited about ideas and men whohad ideas. He was a member of theGreat Books group at the University14· THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEClub, where he showed the same di­rectness and independence that char­acterized him everywhere else. He gotmore and more interested in theMedical School on the Midway be­cause he thought it had a wonderfulidea and was full of active men withlots of ideas. Before his last illnesshe was devoting so much time to theMedical School that he told me heexpected to get fired from the Bankany day.The range of his activities is themore remarkable when we rememberthat he was plagued by many diseasesin the last fifteen years. He may havecomplained about them, but I nevercould get him to do so to me. Icould not make out that he was par­ticularly interested in them. He stuckreligiously to the monotonous dietthat had been imposed' upon him;but I never heard him complainabout that either. For a man whohad been so active and who hadtaken such pleasure and been so suc­cessful in all forms of sport to be condemned to physical inactivity musthave been painful in the extreme; butthe cheerfulness with which he borehis afflictions showed once more thepower of his character and his mind.His pride in the attainments of hiswife and children was very great. Theatmosphere in the Russell family" hereand at Lakeside was of the kind thatrestores one's faith in the possibilitiesof the American home. And it is inthis atmosphere that his friends willparticularly like to remember him­especially at Lakeside, where he couldrelax, and where his favorite formof relaxation came to be that kindof adroit, teasing probing, at whichhe was an expert, of every person andevery proposition that came beforehim. Yet he was kind to everybody.If you were vainglorious, he madeyou understand, in the nicest way,that he was aware of it. If you weredepressed, he would tell you all thefine things you were doing and induceyou to believe it. If a good executiveis one who can make his associates better than they would otherwise he"Pete Russell was one of the best e}£�ecutives I have ever seen.He was the kind- of man that allAmerican mothers would like theirsons to be. He was intelligent, genet ...ous and stalwart. He was agreeable­but he was inflexible. He was tough�minded and realistic, not realistic inthe sense in which that word is cur,rently used to mean the considerationonly of your own advantage, but re­alistic in the sense that he was againstcant and hypocrisy. He called thingsby their right names.Andre Gide remarked in his Jour ..nal: "I believe that what is called'experience' is often but an unavowedfatigue, resignation, blighted hope. __There are few of my contemporarieswho have remained faithful to theiryouth. They have almost all com,promised. That is what they call'learning from life.' They have de­nied the truth that was in them."I think of Pete Russell as one whowas faithful to his youth.Reflections After' FiveAFTER THE HOLIDAYS�COMES THE BUDGETFunds for scholarships never seem bigenough to meet the needs of deserving studentsH OL1DA Y festivities have left mein great need of some "re­flecting after five."

It' wasanything but a quiet one this year.First came the annual Christmasdance sponsored by the StudentUnion, followed by the Wassail Partygiven by the women employees of theUniversity, and numerous smaller. of- fice parties all about the campus.'One seasonal highlight for severalof us who are close to the Collegescholarship program is the dinnergiven each year by the.

The annual Trustees' dinnerwas held this year at the South ShoreCountry Club. More than 800 U ni­versity faculty members and admin­istrative officers were dinner guests ofthe Board. The annual meeting ofthe Board takes place on the follow­ing afternoon, and in addition, thisyear, many Board committees weremeeting.The Committee on Student Inter­ests met January 12 to hear a reportfrom Bob Woellner dealing with thevocational guidance and placementprograms, and some of the other ac­tivities he is directing. The Officeof Veterans Affairs, Veterans Testingand Placement as well as the TestingService of the University fall withinBob's office.Vets no problemIn an earlier column I commendedthe splendid work of' the Veterans'Affairs Office. Ours has been a modeloffice for many other schools. Itsefficiency is something of a specialachievement in view of the mountainsof paper work always required whenan office establishes relations withgovernmental agencies, Joe Borbely,a Lt. Colonel during the war, is theVeterans Adviser and is largely re­sponsible for our smooth-workingset-up. At one time more than 5,000 students were processed by the office,and even now, more than 3,600 vet­erans are enrolled in the University,and receive special services. Becausethe University attracts so many grad­.uate students, veterans are likely toremain here longer than at most otherschools.The veteran certainly has not beenthe problem anticipated by pessimistsbefore demobilization got under way.The nature of our educational planhas been especially attractive to ma­ture ex-servicemen; for our emphasisis not upon the formal training re­quired by academic bookkeeping, butpermits the student who has edu­cated himself to take .the GeneralEducation Examination, and possiblybegin graduate work. This meantthat many a veteran, who firstthought seriously about an educa­tional future during the war, couldhere conveniently realize his planswithout an undue expenditure oftime.But back to Bob Woellner and allof the many things which he has beendoing so extremely well. You maybe interested in the extent of ourtesting service. When the. presen tfour-year College was adopted, it be­came necessary to give entrance teststo all persons who applied for theCollege, and to administer the Gen-16 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEeral Education Examination to manypeople who sought to enter the Divi­sions and the Professional Schools.The University accordingly estab­lished examination centers through­out the country. Sixty-one now op­erate in the major cities of theUnited States, one in Puerto Rico,and two in Canada. Added to thisresponsibility is the task of givingall the placement tests to Collegestudents at the beginning of the aca­demic year, and the comprehensiveexaminations at the close of eachyear and at the end of Summer Quar­ter. The magnitude of this testingprogram is fully appreciated whenyou realize that each entering studentin the average College class of aboutone thousand must take a battery oftests which total 22 hours of writing!Bob and his office set up and super­vise this program.Students want work, not loansThe University is, of course, sensi­tive to general economic conditionsin the national and local community,and during the postwar period, voca­tional guidance and placement prob­lems assumed new forms. The highpercentage of veterans who were stu­dents, and the windfall of govern­ment benefits to veterans, placedmoney in the hands of many students.This picture has almost completelychanged now for both veteran andnon-veteran student. Bob W oellner'soffice is swamped with requests forpart-time jobs. Many students arechildren of the depression; theirfathers and mothers may have tooeasily taken on debts during thetwenties and found that paying themoff in the thirties was a tremendous,if not impossible, burden. So today'sstudent is reluctant to borrow money.Our student loan funds are used con­stantly, but they are almost alwaysa last resort. On the other hand, ourstudents are willing to work; theyapply for scholarships and fellow­ships, and attempt to bring theirgrades to the high level which thecompetition requires. Only as a lastresort do they borrow money, andeven then, only enough to get by.Sometimes we find students who arepinching the pennies too hard, andthen it becomes necessary for some­one in the Dean's office to talk with the student, and show him that hishealth is more valuable than a de­gree. I talked with a young man yes­terday who told me he is eating onemeal a day, and storing fruit andmilk in his room for the other two.I am afraid he is going too far inhis saving program. Yet he has triedassiduously to find part-time worksince the beginning of the AutumnQuarter and has .failed. He is ascholarship-holder in the Departmentof Mathematics, and is certainly the­kind of student we want to encourage.At this moment our scholarship andfellowship program is uppermost in mymind; we are in the process of buildinga budget for 1950-51. This is alwaysa time of great travail and tensenessin the entire University community.Not unlike any great bureaucraticgovernment, each area and each deanfights to have its own bailiwick prop­erly financed. Fortunately, the Cen­tral Administration has lent a sym­pathetic ear to the need for scholar­ships and fellowships, and has realizedit is necessary to help many brightstudents, who cannot finance them­selves, to remain in school.I gather great pleasure from ad­ministering the scholarship programof the University, and it is always arevelation to me to discover how fara· little money can go. On the otherhand, for every student whom wehelp, there are a score rejected-notbecause they are undeserving, but be­cause our funds are simply inade­quate. Strange feelings beset the edu­cater, to whom education is high inthe scale of values, when he observesthe superhuman efforts being madeby deserving students to obtain aneducation: It occurs to me that ina democracy, where education is sointimately related to the preservationand extension of political values, edu­cation shouldn't have to be boughtat the very dear price many of ouryoung people must pay. Don Brown,dean of students in the Law School,told me yesterday that one law stu­dent is working in a steel mill frommidnight until eight a.m. five nights'a week in order to continue his legaleducation. He comes straight to hisuniversity classes from the steel mill,.studies in the library as long as' he can, goes home, eats dinner, andsleeps four or five hours before re­turning to the steel mill by midnight.Culture on campusThe Winter Quarter 'cultural pro­gram is swiftly getting under way.Among the most important musicalevents is the Cosi Fan Tutti operawhich the Renaissance Society, onwhich I am serving at the presenttime, considers the most outstandingproject it has undertaken in a Jongtime. The event promises to be out­standing; and the advance ticket saleshave, as a matter of fact, restoredSf )me of the confidence of the Board,fer it is a mast expensive venture.Students are cooperating with theI T niversity Settlement Board to spon ..sur a series of benefits this spring inMandel Hall which will appeal tothe students, members of the Settle­ment League and the community. CyHoule, Dean of the University Col­lege, is chairman of our SettlementCommittee on the Benefit this year.Jim Kleffen, president of StudentUnion, and Molly Felker, of theCampus Student Chest, are doing"the actual work of handling ticketsales, ushering, and the other essen­tial administrative tasks. The seriesshould sparkle with talent, inclUdingas it does an address by ThorntonWilder, a faculty-student musicalshow, a performance by the Associa­tion of Commerce Glee Club, a lec­ture by . Ogden Nash, and a trio re­cital featuring Ruth Page, BentleyStone, and Walter Cameron, stars ofthe Chicago Civic Ballet. Both Jimand Molly have been elected mem­bers of the Settlement Board thisyear.Our athletic program has been therecipient of generous gifts. Mr. C. K.McNeil has again given us a thousanddollars for the use of the baseballteam so it can plan a somewhatlonger trip than is possible withinthe present budget. Mr. McNeil isvery much interested in the U ni­versity's athletic program and isanxious to encourage student par­ticipation in it. He is an alumnusand has given further tangible proofof his interest in students and theactivities program by adding $4,000 toour scholarship program for the honorentrance awards.i One Man's OpinionPEACE-IS IT SO WONDERFUL?The University has heen the great dissenter, the hull inthe cloister. This five-year calm is nice, but can it last?IN ONE WAY, it has been strangelyquiet around here for some time.There hasn't been a good row forabout five years. Not an educationalassociation has assembled in conven­tion and adopted a resolution deplor­ing or condemning the U niversi ty oreven Mr. Hutchins. All is peace, quiet,and brooding academic sweetness. Thehistory of the University being whatit is, this isn't natural. The Univer­sity's role is tha t of the grea t dis­senter, the hair shirt, the bull in thecloisters.This placidity should not give riseto any misapprehension. The Uni­versity has not changed its character,it has not become ossified, and it hasnot quit producing. The pla,ce is buzz­ing with activity; never before hasthere been such a level of solid andcontinuous achievement as the phys­ical and biological scientists have at- .tained since the end of the war. Witha series of new hospitals coming upfor the University's medical and bio­logical center, and the new labora­tories for the institutes in nuclearscience and metals soon to be occu­pied; the work in the natural scienceswill go at an even faster pace. Thisgreat development in science has notdwarfed the social sciences or the hu­maruties. Mr. Hutchins, who hasseen to it that the natural scienceshave been supported on a generousscale, is, interestingly enough, one ofthe leading spokesmen for the hu­manities.In any field, but particularly in in­tellectual activity, any independentkind of effort can cause trouble. Eventhe natural sciences can be explosivetoday, as the misapprehensions ofCongressmen, when a couple of gramsof uranium are lost, will demonstrate. By William V. MorgensternWilliam V. MorgensternSocial scientists and their works canproduce some highly emotional reac­tions. The humanities likewise canprovoke denunciations; witness theuproar which some of Mr. Hutchins'sphilosophical ideas aroused. The Col­lege is a wedge producing a hair-linebut ominous crack in the archaic or­ganization of American education,and so is threatening vested interests.There certainly is plenty of ammuni­tion for a fight in both the University'sactivities and its stubbornly iconoclas­tic attitude.Yet everything is in. this strangecondition of tranquility. There areseveral reasons for this rare state. Oneis that although the University hastaken bold steps, it has taken themnot because they were novel, but be­cause they had merit. So outsiders,after they have cooled down, havebeen compelled to take a second lookat the experiments. This is certainlytrue of the College; educators are be­ginning to come around to betterunderstanding of what it is doing.Time has healed some of theoutrage about "debasing the time-, 17 honored Bachelor's degree." Mr.Hutchins has talked so much aboutthe importance of liberal education,and the College so persistently hasbeen providing an example of whatit is, that liberal education is quitestylish now. It is not quite true, asLife asserted r e c e n t I y, that the"Hutchins revolution" is an accom­plished fact. Though it is. the correctthing to talk about the need for liberaleducation, the reforms so far have notgone very deep. At any rate, sinceit is impossible to be at the same timefor liberal education, and against theonly forthright example of it, the at­tacks on the College have been si­lenced.In other areas where the Universityhas adopted new programs they havebeen accepted, too. The Law Schoolcurriculum did not originally.provokegreat controversy, and a number ofother good law schools have sincegone in the same direction. The full­time Medical School, which twentyyears ago had medical education onedge, and the profession in a dither,is now regarded as a model. I t iswistfully regarded by others, whowould readily adopt the pattern, ex­cept that the costs of launching sucha school would be tremendous today.Internally, too, the University hasbeen very quiet since the famous"memorial" of 1944. This documentwas produced during the discussioninitiated by Mr. Hutchins for pur­poses of obtaining clarification of theeducational administration. Out ofthis discussion carne, in 1945, a "con­stitution" which has worked so wellthat the appeal provided to the Boardin cases of disagreement has neverbeen invoked, although a lot of basic'issues have been up for decision.Scenes to Remember(I) Winter in Hutchinson Court(2) Mitchell if ower from Hutchinson Court(3) The C Bench and Swift Hall(4) The Chapel from Dudley Field(5) Hull Court GateThese campus scenes can be yours!

Libby, professor of chemistry,and J. R. Arnold, research associate.They tested samples of Douglas firfrom Arizona, fragments of thewooden floor of an ancient Syrianpalace, a piece of a giant Californiaredwood felled three-quarters of a cen­tury ago, cedar of Lebanon from anEgyptian funeral boat, and woodenrelics from Egyptian tombs. Theychecked their radioactive resul tsagainst methods currently used byarcheologists in dating objects. Theirresults agreed with older methods.In the case of the mummy, a pieceof cypress wood from the casket re­vealed it to be within a century ortwo of 4,750 years old. In most cases,exact dates to within a year cannotbe obtained with either the new ra­dioactive method of dating or theolder ones.The new dating method hinges onLibby's previous discovery that con­stant bombardment by cosmic raysturns some carbon atoms in every liv­ing thing-even the human body­into radioactive Carbon 14. The ageof any substance which once wasali ve is measured by determining theradioactivity of the carbon remainingin it. The less the radioactivity, theolder the substance is.And so far the scientists are con­vinced they can date, with reasonableaccuracy, any sample of wood up to4,600 years old. They hope to extendthe method within the next year sothat it will accurately measure 20,000-year-old relics. By Jeannette LowreyThe wild blue stratosphere and to the sides almost impossible.The fog belt, however, is assumedto be thin enough so that visibilityup and down will not be greatly re­duced.This lateral zero-visibility meansthat pilots approaching other planesor flying in formation will have todepend on radar to prevent collisions.The use of radar complicates high­speed flight because of the relativelylong time required by the pilot toread and react to such signals.At the same time, planes will leaveextremely dense condensation trailsthrough this fog which will betraytheir presence to an enemy.The Chicago findings also end anyhope, of astronomers that an observa­tory built on a very high mountainmight enable them to rise above themoisture level, and so avoid presentdifficulties in gauging the atmospheremoisture of a planet such as Mars.The discovery poses other newquestions for meteorologists, whowant to know if the moisture foundin the air over Camp Ripley existsequally all over the earth and wherethe moisture in the stratosphere comesfrom.Older theories about the circula­tion of the atmosphere are also be­ing contradicted by the new findings.Previously it was. held that there isno transfer of water vapor betweenthe stratosphere and the lower levelsof the air. The University resultsshow that the proportion of watervapor by weight in the air tends toincrease with altitude into the strato­sphere. The ratio of water vapor toother gases was twice as high at 17miles as it was at eight.Any Buck Rogers of the future, fly­ing planes designed to fly the strato­sphere, will encounter a belt of airwith lOO-percent water-vapor satura­tion, University meteorologists havediscovered.A demonstration that the strato­sphere is not completely dry, a' factcontradicting existing beliefs, re­sulted from the development of anew dew-point hygrometer whichuses electronic principles.Earl W. Barrett, instructor in mete­orology, assisted by Lee R. Herndon,Jr., and Howard J. Carter, perfectedthe new device and made reliablemeasurements up to heights of 18 %miles, twice as high as heretoforeachieved.The research, sponsored by U ni tedStates Navy Task Order 1, .began in1943. The hygrometer, and other in­struments to measure temperature andpressure of the air, including a minia­ture radio which transmits the datato earth, were first carried aloft fromthe Navy's testing grounds at CampRipley; Minnesota.' The first flightsoared to 99,000 feet above sea level.Light-weight plastic balloons, called"Sky Hooks," developed by aero­nautical engineers of General MillsCorporation, carried the apparatusinto the upper atmosphere.Presence of extreme moisture inpart of the stratosphere means thatengineers must design engines ableto operate under conditions of ex­treme humidity. Flight in the strato­sphere will be subject to many ofthe difficulties -plus others - nowfound in low-level flight ..

Heshowed, on the placement tests givenall entering students, that he alreadyhad the equivalent of the College'seducation.Nelson has, as a result, by-passedthe College completely and enteredthe division of the physical sciences,where he will do graduate work inmathematics. Because he does nothave the year of required residence,he will not be receiving the bachelor'sdegree, but will work directly towarda graduate degree.Son of Claud Dalton Nelson, for­eign secretary of the InternationalCommittee of the YMCA, who isnow stationed in Rome, young Nel­son attended the Bronx high school,New York, for a year and a half ofstudy. When the family moved toRome, he entered the scientific divi­sion of the Instituto Giovanni Verga,where he studied another 18 months.His father is a graduate of Hen­drix College and Pembroke College,Oxford, and an ex Rhodes scholar.Nelson passed all usual Collegetests with superior performances. Hewas then given four tests coveringadvanced courses, provided for stu- 21dents of unusual achievement. In all,he took nearly 30 hours of place­ment tests, and: on the basis of hisachievement was excused from the14 comprehensive examinations re­quired for completion of the College.Prizes won. books writtenInternational flights, national hon­ors and awards, and publications justoff the press have kept the names ofUniversity professors in the news.Dr. Lowell T.

This dif­ference is heightened by the fact thatwomen, on the average, live to beolder, and the older person is morelikely sooner or later, to enter thatgroup.Now what can society do? Thetraditional Chinese society, as pointedout, made it easy and pleasant fora person in later maturity. Twentiethcentury America so far has made itdifficult. With our accent on youth,growth and speed, we tend neither torevere nor reject but ignore old age­to suppose it is only a state of mindwhich can be banished by keepingbusy.First, obviously, we must make cer­tain social security and health provi­sions for the lower-income group,which cannot prepare adequately forold age by unaided effort.Second, we can change retirementpolicy, to make retiring less arbitraryand better suited to the actual abili­ties, health and desires of people. Atpresent, the retirement policies of gov­ernment agencies, large corporations,school systems and universities are conducted with maximum regard forthe convenience of administrators,slight regard for the efficiency of theinstitution, and little regard, if any,for the happiness and aptitude of theindividual.Certain public attitudes are chang­ing, and must change still further, sothat people of later maturity are ac­cepted with approval in some of thefollowing roles; as community leader,public official, assiduous reader ofbooks and periodicals on national andforeign affairs, local oracle, activerank and, file worker in a politicalparty; business leader, professionalman, retired business man managingseveral properties, retired farmer man­aging several farms, retired farmerworking as a church janitor, pen­sioner, odd job man; participant withwife or husband in small congenialcircle of friends,· visitor with oldfriends, member of women's bridgeor sewing group, member of old peo­ple's club, officer of old people's club; .church leader, active participant inchurch affairs, regular attendant atchurch services; head of social club,minor officer in social club, lodge meniber, member of business or pro­fessional club, member of "poor­men's club" in tavern; head of smallclose-knit family, head of extendedfamily or clan, grandparent who rearsgrandchildren, grandparent who playswith grandchildren, letter-writer whokeeps widely scattered family membersin communication with one another,occupant of "grandmother's apart­ment" in family home; housekeeperfor adult children, resident of OldPeople's Home; fisherman, world trav­eller, seasonal migrant to South orto Southwest, flower grower, orchard-ist, author, writer of memoirs.The people of the United Statesare hardly likely to turn into reverersand worshippers of old age like theChinese. The American philosophywhich best fits the patterns of Amer­ican life will be one of generosity,permissivity, and approval of the self­achieved pleasures and tasks of latermaturity. Such a philosophy will havetwo guiding principles: First, peopleare expected to grow old at differentrates, and second, each personality isexpected to find its own pattern ofroles.CALENDARWednesday, February IPU B.LI C.

Consult the dictionary.To read and comprehend morethoroughly, try this self-evaluating,"four-way" method of learning:1. Read a comprehensive unit ofmaterial without looking back.2. Self-evaluate or check your ownunderstanding of what you haveread by asking yourself what themain ideas and the supportingdetails are.3. Make summary notes.4. Review the notes.Some very specific techniques canbe used to improve the rate of read­ing: 1. Read against a watch.2. Consult the rate and compre­hension checks, which are pub­lished in book or pamphletform: Science Research Asso­ciates should shortly issue anexcellent one for this purpose.3. Do not look back, or regress.4. Read narrow columns - news­paper or Reader's Digest width.They have proved best for en-.larging the eye span.5. Set deadlines.

Just address your request to "CANCER".Fingers of flame that pierce solid rockYES, through a dramatic new process known as jet-piercing. . . holes can now be burned straight and true throughsolid rock! The harder the rock the more efficient the oper­ation! A special combination of oxygen, fuel, and waterdoes the job ... and in a fraction of the time required bythe old drill attack.This process is of particular significance to the steel in­dustry today. Why? Because government surveys show thatAmerica's reserves of top-grade iron ore-source of steel­are fast being reduced. But there remain almost inexhaust­ible beds of the once scorned low-grade iron ore calledtaconite.The extremely hard and dense nature of taconite makesusual mining methods too costly and impractical. But thejet-piercing process-with 1/10 the equipment and at areasonable cost-will burn holes straight into the solid taco­nite so that it can he blasted into lumps of usable size.Also, destructive abrasion from the sharp-edged rock onloading and crushing equipment is being better controlled by machine parts made from extra-hard alloy steels. Andto concentrate the iron content of the ore, new chemicalprocesses can flush away much of the "waste" matter-thusleaving an ore 30% richer, for more efficient smelting.The people of Union Carbide created the jet-piercingflame process as well as many of the alloys, chemicals, andother materials essential to today's mining efficiency. AndUCC stands ready to help solve problems in other fields ofAmerican enterprise . . . wherever better basic materialsand better processes are needed.FREE: If you would like to know more aboutmany of the things you use every day, send forthe illustrated booklet "Products and Processes."It tells how science and industry use VCC'sAlloys, Chemicals, Carbons, Gases', and Plastics.Write for free Rooklet J.UNION CARBIDEAND CARBON CORPOR.A.TIO.N30 EAST 42ND STR'EET � NEW YORK 17, N.
