Rice, Jr., then vice president of Gen­eral Electric, said:Although our engineers have always been liberally suppliedwith every facility for the development of new and originaldesigns and improvements of existing standards, it has beendeemed wise during the past year to establish a laboratory to bedeoot.ed exclusively to original research. It is hoped by this meansthat many profitable fields may be discovered.Many profitable fields were discovered-profitable not only forGeneral Electric but also for industry, the American public, andthe world.A half century ago the industrial experimental laboratory wasitself an experiment. This month it begins its second half centurywith the dedication of a new building, greatly augmenting thefacilities it offers to the advancement of man's knowledge.CjOtL e:un;»d� emy'� m_GENERALe ELECTRICEDITOR'SMEMO PADTo limber up our typewriter after theSUmmer hiatus we'll tell you about ourvacation in the Rockies..

And alwayshe was dropping in on the faculty, theal umni secretary, and. business men, to dis­cuss the University and how better to ex­plain it to alumni and the public.In 1945 William Benton resigned tobecome Assistant Secretary of State, wherehe developed the international peacetime" �<', 1 '" 95"l_),.__; '.U,. program of information and educationalexchange, the Voice of America.

Aftera Freshman period of observing he in­troduced his "Marshall Plan of Ideas" tocounter Communist propaganda andquickly moved into a position of leader­ship on other legislative matters. It is gen­erally agreed that already he has becomeone of the distinguished members of theSenate.And yet-in April, in the midst of allhis legislative responsibilities and his elec­tIion campaign plans, we dropped in athis Senate office to say that PresidentColwell, who was to appear at a ChicagoClub dinner in Washington that week, hadbeen taken suddenly ill.

An examiner frankly reports the pros and cons ofthe system, still going strong after 15 years of use.Editor's Note - On October 17tht�e University of Chicago Press pub­lzshes a book-length, insider's reporton the College, which for the past 20'years has been a powerful infiuenceon colleges and universities through­Out the United States. Title of theVolume is 'The Idea and Practice ofGeneral Education." Some 17 staffmembers collaborated in writing ch.ap­iers about the theory and historicaldevelopment of the College, themethods by which the social sciences,natural sciences, mathematics, history,etc. are taught. "The Case for Com­prehensives" is based on one sectionby Mr. Paul Diederich, runo of the,Educational Testing Service in Prince­ton, New· Jersey, who until recentlyUJor.ked as one of the 30 fulltime ex­amzners who devise comprehensiveand placement tests for the College.FOR A FULL 15 years now, theCollege of the University of Chi­Cago has been using a system of com­prehensive examinations which arePrepared, administered and markedby an independent Board of Examina­tIons and which are the sole basis forgranting degrees.While a similar system is very com­�on abroad, it is something of a rarityIn the United States, and any Ameri­can institution which has tried it forSo long a period is under obligationt . uhO report how it works. This reportas no official status, but for that veryreason it can more frankly discuss theadvantages and drawbacks one ex­a .mIner sees in th� system.Desperate cramming?hAn early and frequent objection tot .e comprehensive was that studentsWould tend to neglect their workthrough the first two quarters of eachyear and then "cram" desperately inOCTOBER 1950, the third. Critics dourly predictedthat students would devote their wholeattention to the. total recall of facts,wi th no regard to using those factsin their own thinking, or developinginterests, attitudes and appreciationson their own. It was feared the systemwould not only compel all teachers toteach exactly the same things in thesame way, but would reduce instruc­tion to the level found in coachingschools, which try to guess what willappear in examinations coming up insome neighboring university and to"cram" their clientele with the re­quired information in doublequicktime.I t was feared that any instructorwho tried to lead his students in theadventures of the soul among themasterpieces would be met by a coldstare and the question: "Will that bein the examination?"While these dangers must always bekept in mind, they haven't provedserious in practice. The examinations,experience proves, do not place undueemphasis on the recall of facts. Evenin the sciences, the time and weightgiven to the recall of facts are nevermore than 300/0 of the examination.Desperate cramming Rather, the exams emphasize the useof fa�ts in solving problems that havenot been discussed in the course.I� literature, for example, half ormore of the examination is now basedon works studied independently by thestudent, without class discussion, todemonstrate his mastery of the me­thods of analyses taught in the course.He cannot parrot the instructor's in­terpretation; he must work out hisown.' If he focuses real attention onsuch an examination, he will be learn­ing exactly what the instructor wantshim to learn anyway.Don't they forget?These general principles and intel­lectual skills are retained unusuallywell. We have had many opportuni­ties for retesting,' as students comeback for further study, and no seriousloss has been discovered in the kind ofoutcomes which, are given greatestweight in the comprehensives. Whileno college ever knows the extent towhich its students use for their ownpurposes what they have learned,there is at least no evidence that ourstudents forget what they have learnedas rapidly as possible, once the exami­nation is over.Regimented teaching?If indeed there be any such thing as"regimen ta tion of teaching" in theCollege, little can be blamed on theexaminations, and that little can beavoided.The College offers 14 generalcourses, which are required of anystudent unless he is excused by place-. ment tests. Each of the general coursesenrols hundreds of students and istaught by a staff of from 10 to 30teachers- (in small, manageable dis-5They meet once a week to talkcussion groups which average about25 students.) All teachers ofa givencourse use the same syllabus; which isprepared and revised annually by thestaff, and they meet once a week totalk about ways of dealing with thematerials they are about to teach.It becomes apparent to anyone at­tending these meetings that the coursema terials are used in the greatest di­versity of ways. The examiner attendsall these meetings, makes note of thedivergent views expressed, and thusobtains a clearer view of the morebasic matters which are to be tested,and which underlie the diverse pro­cedures used by various staff members.As a result, he evolves questions whichdeal with the general objectives of thecourse, rather than with any particu­lar means of teaching these objectives.Who directs the Examiners?Since the University Examiner isresponsible to the Chancellor of theUniversity, rather than to the Dean ofthe College, and since the examinerin each field is responsible to the Uni­versity Examiner, some critics pre­dicted the examiners might come todictate the curriculum. This dangerhas been avoided, since the examiner6 must secure the agreement of theteaching staff to every objective cov­ered by the examination. He has noauthority to tell the staff what to do.He must find out what they are tryingto do and then prepare questions re­lated to these purposes, and no others.He need not secure 100% agreementon every question, but if a questioncould be shown to bear no relation toany announced purpose of the staff,the examiner would be subject tosevere censure.No polished apples?The teaching staff itself voices onecriticism of the examination system­namely, it gives them no control overstudents. They admit that if theywere perfect teachers, they wouldneed no goad: students would followwillingly wherever they led. But inthis imperfect world, they contend, agoad is sometimes necessary. If theymake an assignment and students dis­regard it, the worst they can say is,"If this neglect continues, you willprobably get an F on the comprehen-. sive." They cannot say, "1 will giveyou an F." They know, and so doesthe student, that instructors have nocontrol over marks. Who reads thermometer?One may still raise the question,however, whether the final judgmentof a student's competence in a givenfield should not be filtered throughthe mind of someone who knows thestudent. Perhaps the examinationshould be used as a doctor uses aclinical thermometer. The doctorwants the thermometer to register thecorrect temperature, uninfluenced byany sentiment toward the patient; buthis final diagnosis of the case is ahuman judgment, taking into accounteverything he knows about the patient.In the same fashion, perhaps, the re­sult of the examination should bereported to the instructor and be usedby him, along with any other evidenceat his disposal, to determine the stu­dent's mark. Isn't it true that somestudents who have worked very hard,and who desperately need encourage­ment, still fail in the examination?And that some shiftless ones who havenever been near the course manageto slip by?It is true that these things happen,but it is still questionable whether theresponsibility for determining marksshould be thrown back on the instruc­tors. Students respect the mark moreand work harder to earn it when theyknow it stands for sheer competence,uninfluenced by docility, regularity ofattendance, completion of a�sign­ments, participation in class discus­sion, promptness, neatness, appear­ance, affability, and other irrelevantmatters.On the other hand, this lack ofcontrol over marks has m�ny compen­sations. It is a blessed relief to mostteachers to be freed from the pressureof the importunate student-some­times that of his parents as well. Inmost colleges, you find some studentswho contest every mark, from the firstpaper in the course to the final ex-THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE·Some shiftless ones slip byamination. Some try to influencemarks by "applepolishing," whileothers argue, or break down in tears.Under an independent examinationsystem, it is easy to explain to studentsthat all preliminary marks, such asthose on assigned papers, quizzes andquarterly examinations, represent onlyan estimate of their progress towardpassing the comprehensive. The mark:viII not stand in the record, and thereIS no use arguing about it. If a studentfails the comprehensive examination,the instructor can explain, in all si�­cerity, that he had nothing whateverto do with bestowing the mark andhas no power to alter it. In mostcases he does not even know the markuntil the student tells him. He neverhas to look a well-meaning but incom­petent student in the eye and tell him,"I gave you an F.". The terrible responsibility of judg­Ing people at the end of every courseis taken off his shoulders. Shelvingthis responsibility has a most beneflcialeffect on the relations of student andteacher. They are both on the sameside of the fence. It is up to the stu­dent to pass the examination: theteacher is there to help him as muchas he can. He is not a taskmaster andjudge. He assigns no rewards or penal­ties. He is a friend and guide.There is no evidence of widespreadOr serious neglect of assigned work.On the contrary, our students workuncommonly hard. If an occasionalassignment is disregarded, it may, ormay not be, a real loss. It must befrankly granted that not all assign­ments are so carefully planned andconsidered that students will reallvSuffer if they omit them. A systemWhich offers some latitude in this re­spect is probably healthier than one.Which requires conformity to everywhim of the instructor.1\lso it can be argued that the "doc­:or" in this case is not properly theInstrUctor but the adviser, who is se­lected and trained especially for thisWork, who knows more of the student'sbaCkground and circumstances andwho has more sources of informationabout him than anyone instructor.The adviser should have at his dis­Posal marks which mean exactly whatthey are supposed to mean and thenOCTOBER 1950, No polished appleshave the power to save a deservingstudent from any harsh consequences.The shiftless students can be caught inthe mechanism of reports to the ad­viser, in which the instructor canspeak his mind fully, without restrict­ing himself to five letters of the alpha­bet, and the adviser can take any ac­tion which seems warranted. Whenone further considers the extremevariability of instructors in assigningmarks, the great difficulty of approx­imating a common standard, and thesubstantial benefits which instructorsgain from not having this responsibil­ity, one is glad to leave the determi­nation of marks to an impersonalagency and to allow the advisers totemper the wind to the shorn lamb.Dangers of neuroses?Another curious criticism of com­prehensive examinations has been thatthey are probably conducive to thedevelopment of neuroses. This chargewould be so serious, if true, that itwould outweight all the benefits ofthe system; but thus far there is noevidence, or even any substantial prob­ability, that it is true. The incidencein the College of actual breakdown,for example, is negligible-and is cer­tainly no higher than in other colleges of comparable size. Examiners andinstructors frequently observe studentsduring examinations with a watchfuleye for signs of anxiety or unduestrain, but they rarely find cause foralarm.What takes the curse off the systemis that students need not register foran examination until they feel pre­pared for it and some put off the ex­amination for three months or moreafter completing the course. If theyfail or make a low mark at their firstattempt, they have only to find outwhat they did wrong, remedy theirweaknesses, and try again threemonths later. Some students repeatexaminations when their initial gradewasC or even B because they will besatisfied with nothing less than an A.They run no risk, for whichever markis higher stands in the record. With allthese safeguards, it is hard to imaginewhy comprehensive examinations ofthemselves should induce neuroses. Itis probably true that students who arealready neurotic will manifest anxietytoward examinations, as toward anyother threat to their security, but itseems highly improbable-and I thinka psychiatrist would concur - thatsuch anxiety could cause a neurosis. Ifit combines with the underlying causesto bring out an incipient neurosis, it7The examiners would be subjectto severe censuremay be just as well to bring the con­dition to light while the student isyoung enough to be treated with rela­tive ease.On the positive side, the systemseems to give students a lively sense ofresponsibility for their own education.It has repeatedly been found thatthere is little difference in averagescores between different sections ofthe same course,' presided over byvarious instructors. Students knowwhat they are expected to learn fromthe syllabus, from quarterly examina­tions, and from copies of past exami­nations, and if their instructors do notteach them these things, they manageto learn them by themselves.Debased degrees 7The effect on standards of accom­plishment is salutary. If each teachersets his own examination, he tends' toask only those questions which most" ofhis students will be able to answer.On the other hand, if the examinationis produced by an agency which hasno interest in fortifying the ego of theinstructors, and if it is to be publishedand subjected to every sort of criti­cism, it tends to demand whatever theliberally educated man ought to knowabout the subject. Students know thatthey cannot rely on any favorable im­pression which they have made on theinstructor. Their only safety .lies inknowing how to answer the hun­dreds of merciless questions.When Mr. Hutchins was re­proached with "debasing" the Bache-8 lor's degree by offering it at the endof the usual sophomore year, he re­plied that he would be happy to havethe seniors in any other college takethese sophomore examinations. In onesense his challenge was unfair becausestudents at anyone .college would beat a disadvantage in taking the ex­aminations of another. However, inthe intended sense, the reply wasjustified because these examinationsmake the senior examinations of manyother colleges seem childish.The examinations produced by afull-time professional examining staffin constant association with a teachingstaff are not only more difficult butalso better examinations-more valid,more objective, and more reliable­than the examinations ordinarily pro­duced . by teachers. Many a professorthinks of his examination questionswhile walking to the examination andthen writes them on the blackboard.In some cases, they turn out to bebrilliant questions and are markedwith great insight and fairness, but inmany other cases it is largely a matterof chance whether the student hap­pens to be well prepared on these par- ticular questions. In hardly any casecould they compare with the hundredsof penetrating questions devised by anexperienced examiner after months ofwork which covers every aspect of thecourse and every type of competenceit is expected to produce.The manner in which the examina­tions are prepared tends to make theteaching staff unusually conscious ofthe objectives of the course. A carefulanalysis of the results of the examina­tion can also give them a clear pictureof their successes and failures. It is achastening experience to select typicalquestions representing each objectiveand to count how' many students gotthem right.Finally, the examination serves as afocal point around which to organizethe work of the course.

Here is Israel today, the melting pot and hopefor oppressed Jewry everywhereSOME 25 YEARS ago my wife andI visited Palestine to gather mate­rial for a series of articles. The J ew­ish nationalists were working fever­ishly to build up the land, followingthe hopes engendered by the BalfourDeclaration.Many pious Christians were re­marking that the only "good result ofthe war"-i.e. the first World War­"was the emergence of a Jewish home­land in accordance with Biblicalprophecy." I t was not easy then topersuade Jews to migrate to Palestine.There were a good many, of course,who did leave the lands of their birthbecause of an intense national Jewishloyalty. But the progress of JewishPalestine was slow, and certainly didnot satisfy those who supported theZionist movement, and who workedfor the realization of a Jewish na­tional home which would take itsplace as a nation among th� nationsof the world.The Jews who were content asnationals of various lands looked uponthe Palestine Zionists as good men,Who, having had to live through per­secutions and oppressions, yearned forpeace and for a place which theyCould call their own. They had nothought of giving up their homesexcept in some backward countrieswhere they were regarded as strangers�nd second-class citizens. The vast ma­Jority of American, English, French,German and Central European JewsWere willing enough to help their co­religionists who had been forced byone circumstance or another to mi­grate. to Palestine. As for themselves,few had any thought of leaving. ThePalestine settlers accused them of lov­lUg the "fleshpots of Egypt" too much.OCTOBER, 1950 When we first visited the Jewishhomeland, world Jewry was largelysatisfied with its condition.Palestine then ...Consulting our notes about that tripwe find that we hac! been surprisedby the progress which had been madein the few years after the war. Fac­tories had been built, roads laid out,a large number of colonies established,thousands of acres of land cultivatedand many fine homes constructed.Since the main object of the earlynationalists was to make their coun­try a predominantly agricultural one,stronger emphasis was laid. upon thistype of activity than upon the com­mercial and industrial.We recall some very highly devel­oped farm settlements. The youngpeople who went to Palestine as pio­neers gave themselves up with laud­able dedication to the building ofwhat was to be their "home." Grad­uates of technical schools, teachersand members of various professions,weary of the treatment they receivedin their various homelands, came tostart life anew-as one expressed it,to give to the soil of Israel the bestthat he could give, and to get fromthe land the best it had to offer. Pro­gress was slow but steady. Educationalinstitutions such as the Technical In­stitute at Haifa and the Hebrew U ni­versity at Jerusalem sprang up. Laterthe Weizmann-.Seiff Institute at Re­hovoth near Tel Aviv was organized.Arab Palestine did not keep pacewith the progress of Jewish Palestine.One could see American farm machin­ery working the fields of the .Jewishcolonies, while on the adjoining Arab land the Arab plowman was using thesame iron and wooden plow his peoplehad used from time immemorial. Itwas an interesting and instructive con­trast between the Jewish attitude to­wards the developments of modernlife and that of the Arab. Much ofPalestine was then in the hands ofArab families who spent their timeand their income living in luxuryin large European and Near Easterncities.In those days the' tension betweenthe Jews and the Arabs had notreached its present intensity. Therewas a friendliness which some ob­servers thought might be made thebasis for lasting friendship. The cre­ation of Israel and the Arab opposi­tion to it have dissipated to a largeextent the neighborly attitude of for­mer years. There are still, however,some Arab villages which are friendlyto their Jewish neighbors and Arabslive in Israeli cities. As a matter offact some Arabs fought in the armyof Israel, and there are now threeArab members of. the Knesset, theJewish House of Deputies. By andlarge both Jews and Arabs fear thatpeace will not be achieved before an­other war unless the U ni ted Nationsinterfere. That is the real reason whyboth sides clamor for arms.... and nowTwenty-five years have made a rev­olutionary change. A Jewish popula­tion of 250,000 in the homeland then,has grown now to one million. Theformer Arab population of one mil­lion has shrunk to 200,000. Industryand commerce have progressed be­yond the wildest dreams of the earlysettlers. Some cities are no longer vil­lages - they are great metropolitancentres, with at least two, Tel Avivand Haifa, favorably comparable inappearance, culture, industry and ac­tivity with progressive European cities.Tel Aviv to which Jaffa has recentlybeen annexed has a population ofmore than 300,000. It is the largestcity in Israel and has been called the"Paris of the Near East."The melting potPersecution and fear have broughttogether so many different Jewishtypes, it is impossible to determinewhether. there is any longer a so-called"Jewish type." It is often difficult to9distinguish a Jew from an Arab exceptby garb. Bokhara Jews look like Per­sians; East Indian Jews look like theirformer neighbors; Bulgarian Jews looklike Bulgarian non-Jews. There aremore blondes among those who camefrom German-speaking countries thanHitler ever counted among the GentileGermans.In that part of Tel Aviv in which100,000 or more German Jews live,one hears more German than Hebrew.I t has been estimated that more than30 countries are represented in Israel.Whether or not this number is cor­rect, it is evident that these immi­grants are determined to wipe outtheir differences and evolve a land inwhich the best in all cultures will befused and preserved.The "melting pot" era of our coun­try cannot hold a candle to the "melt­ing pot" of Israel. The religious,artistic and ideological differenceswhich before the cruel years of perse­cution dominated the lives of thesepeople, are being gradually trans­muted into an Israeli civilization.Four concerr-mestersA large number of the men andwomen of Israel were outstanding intheir fields of activity in their formerhomes. Particularly is this true ofleaders in the physical sciences, medi­cine and music. Many of the greatestspecialists that our age has producedhave found asylum in the HebrewUniversity, in the Haifa Technion, inthe Weizmann-Seiff Institute and inthe Hadassah and other hospitals.Serge Koussevitsky, the great formerconductor of the Boston SymphonyOrchestra, made this statement uponhis recent return to Paris from Israel,where he served as the guest conduc­tor at sixteen concerts given by theIsrael Philharmonic Orchestra: "InIsrael I spent the six happiest weeksof my life. There you feel that youha ve stepped back two thousand yearsinto the past, and at the same timethat history has moved ahead twothousand years into the present. Iloved the mood of Israel, its enthu­siasm and its love of art and nature.Israel's string orchestra is as good asthe best in the world. Virtually allthe world's great violinists are Jewish.Persecution and war brought to Israelthe pick of talent from Europe's great10 orchestras. There is so much talent inthat string section that the orchestrahas not one concert-master but four.Each one takes his turn.",What Koussevitsky says about theabundance of �talent in music appliesto many other fields. The number oftalented individuals is almost unbe­lievable until one remembers that itwas the small state of Israel whichwelcomed so many of the oppressedand terror-stricken when no one elsewould have them.Housing the homeless.We �aw more activity in buildingconstruction and in the general indus­trial fields than in the half dozen andmore other countries we visited. Thou­sands of little homes are being builtfor the newcom�rs. Seventy-five thou­sand Yemenite Jews are being housedand cared for. The concentrationcamps of Europe are being emptiedinto this land.One hundred thousand Iraq Jews have begun their migration to thehomeland.. A similar number froJIlNorth Africa is being gradually si­phoned into the land. Wherever theJew is oppressed he turns his eyeStowards Israel, and hopes some dayto get there, knowing that Israel willnot refuse to receive him.We saw recently-arrived concentra­tion camp refugees being "processed"for the new life they are to lead. Theywere being prepared to work the landor to take their places in the rapidlygrowing industries and thus be ab­sorbed wherever needed in the Stateeconomy. This placement process doesnot escape criticism from some of thenewcomers, who for years had beenaccustomed to an unhappy but indo­lent life in the concentration camps.If ever there was a laboratory inwhich human beings were transmutedinto necessary instruments for a newand effective life, Israel is that lab­oratory. Starting with the modernmiracle of resurrecting a dead Ian-Israel's acute housing shortage is being met with an ambitious housing program. Thisis a typical new Ill-family apartment building, in best modern style, in Tel Aviv.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEguage and transforming it into arecognized instrument of modern NearEast culture, to the erection of a tech­?ical institute that contains precisiontns�ruments found only in the labora­tones of three or four of the most ad­vanced countries-this has been theachievement of the N'ew Israel whosedreams were once regarded with bene­�cent dubiousness by interested skep­tics (of whom the writer was one) .Educating the newcomersIsrael is taking its place among thernost advanced nations in other ways.The government has passed' a billv:hich provides for the public educa­tIon of everyone from the age of fiveto 13. Newcomers who were elsewheredeprived of an opportunity to procurean education can do so up to the ageDf 18. Kindergartens are still private­ly conducted but it is hoped that inthe not too distant future state reve­nUe will permit them to be geared intothe national public school system. TheE�ucation Department has openedpnmary schools in most of the largerArab villages taken over by the Israeli�rmy.

He is also authorof such books as "The Bible asReligion and Literature)" and((Judaism) Christianity and theModern Social I deals."The Religious party itself became thesecond largest through a temporarycombination of the Orthodox andUltra Orthodox Parties. The thirdlargest party is the Mapam which isto the left of, the Mapai. The Mapaicombined with jhe Religious partyonly because by such a combinationcould the present government havebeen formed. 'There is a great deal of oppositionby the non-religious parties to havingreligious domination in the land. Thestate disclaims being a theocratic one.The religious parties want the stateto be just this. It seemed to us thatmost of the Israeli looked forward toa time when there will be no religiousinterference in political life. Israelwants to be a free democracy and tomaintain separation of church andstate as 'we do in the United States.The fact that there is a Minister ofReligion in the Cabinet is distastefulto other political parties.One must not forget that Israel is asecular, and not a religious state.Everyone is free to believe what hechooses. While the Orthodox religionis the only form of Judaism recognizedby the state, it does not exercise com­pulsion to the extent that all Israeli must be adherents of Orthodox Juda­ism. The Sabbath is rigidly observedby most people though many do notregard it as of divine origin. TheBiblical Festivals are similarly ob­served. An Israeli may call himselfan atheist, but he observes these oc­casions as national customs just as wasdone in Biblical times.Reform or Liberal Judaism hasmade little headway. It is strenuouslyopposed by the Chief Rabbi as well asby the Minister 'of Religion. It is notlegally recognized as is Orthodox Ju­daism but that does not prevent indi­vidual Jews from renouncing Ortho­doxy and establishing Liberal congre­gations. We noted a very definitetrend toward 'liberalism in religiousthinking.The eyes of Israel are turnedtowards the West, not the East, andtowards the United States particular­ly. We only met one communist dur­ing our visit and he was so unhappythat he was making arrangements toreturn to his na ti ve Hungary.Israel has not yet adopted a con­stitution though they have a roughdraft. Ben Gurion told the Knessetthat there was no great hurry aboutadopting one. New developments inworld politics might well influence thecontent of a constitution.Arab-Israeli tensionsThe relationship between Israel andits Arab neighbors is a very importantelement in its political life. There isno denying the fact that Arabs andJews alike are uneasy. There is no ap­parent dislike for each other as racialgroups. No anti-semitism exists amongthe Arabs similar to that in Westernlands. The fact that there is an ethnicrelationship between the two groupsprobably accounts for this. Unfriend­liness stems from the fact that themembers of the Arab League refuse tohave anything to do with the Israelis.The Jews maintain that the Arabswant to destroy them as indeed Arableaders have publicly promised. TheArabs, on the other hand, say thatthey fear Israeli aggression.The reason that the Arab Leaguehas been purchasing arms, say the Is­raeli, is to prevent aggression inciden­tally, but to destroy Israel ultimately.Israel fears the arms of the ArabLeague and maintains that the de­struction of Israel is the goal of theArabs; it wants to beat them to the11Israel has large stretches of parched land. One answer-the Jordan dam, a hydro-electricproject which supplies water for domestic use and irrigation.draw. Therefore it needs arms also.Both sides expect a "second round"unless the United. Nations prevents it.The U ni ted S ta tes, England andFrance have decided to sell arms toboth, provided neither will use themfor purposes of aggression: This oughtto help settle the difficulty if theWestern nations mean what they say.The future peace of the Near Eastlies in the hands of the U ni ted N a­tions. For the present at least thereneed be little fear of encroachmentby the Soviets in that particular partof the world. We heard some threatsfavoring friendship for the Soviets,but these become vocal only wheneither Israel or the Arabs want some­thing from the West which they can­not get.No second-class citizenWe were deeply impressed by thepassionate loyalty of the Israeli for hisland and his effusive pride in the' factthat in it he is not regarded as aninferior being. A Jew is not sensitivethere about being' one. He does not'feel that he is a foreigner, or that he,is good enough only to be a second­class citizen. He is as proud of hisnation as any national anywhere.Again and again we were remindedof the prejudice and restrictions exist­ing against the Jews outside of Israel.We were told there was no guaranteethat a Hitler would not bob up againand our attention was called manytimes to Sinclair Lewis' book, It Can'tHappen Here.We were told time and again thatthe people of Israel were building aland "for the g;randchildren of Ameri-12 can Jews" and that the day will comeeven in America "when the Jew willbe forced to pick up bag and bag­gage and direct his steps toward thehomeland." They said: "Was thereever a nation that profited more fromJ ewish skills and contributions thanGermany? What happened in France?What's happening behind the Iron'Curtain? History will repeat itself inthe United States also. You will thenunderstand why we so deeply love thisland which alone of all lands receivedus not as beggars but as its children."American anti-SemitismOne cannot deny that this talkmakes a deep impression on AmericanJews. We cannot deny that there areprejudices in social life and barriersand restrictions in indus trial life.There is no doubt that the averageAmerican Jew feels the injustice ofanti-semitism; there is no doubt thatmany Jews in our land do not walkwith straight backs and do only whis­per the fact that they are Jews. Theoft-repeated statements "you are awhite Jew" and the apologetic "someof my best friends are Jews" have got­ten under the skin of the Jews ofIsrael who heard them in' their formerhomes and from the mouths of Ameri­can Jews repeating th�ir experiences.One cannot well argue against theirvicious implication.Yet American Jews by and largedo not accept the conclusions of theIsraeli as inevitable, because the con­ditions which brought them to Israelneed not necessarily occur in our land.Anti-semitism is not indigenous to American democracy--it is an im­ported product and is alien to it.Racial discrimination is not inherentin Americanism and where it exists,is eradicable. Prejudice is not allou tgrowth of democracy but is a can­cerous growth upon it.I t is said that anti-semitism is in­creasing in the United States. Wedoubt this very much. It may becomemore vocal in spots, but a constantlyincreasing n um ber of non- JewishAmericans see its viciousness and bat­tle against it.We do not believe that the citizensof Israel are building a haven for thegrandchildren of American Jews. Wecannot predict that there will neverbe a Hitler in the United States, be­cause it is not humanly possible toforesee the future, but we do not be­lieve it. We do feel however thatshould such evil days ;ome, the Ameri­can Jew will have to migrate to Israeland join those whose forbears pre­ceded him.Miracles do happenToday the American Je� has no de­sire to go to Israel. The United Stateris his country and here is the home­land -of his children and g r a n d­children.A former skeptic said to us that henever used to believe in miracles. Burlthe creation of Israel and its un­dreamed-of development have con'vinced him that miracles do happen.There is tremendous activity there,�ut there ar� also tremendous diffiCUI',!ties.

Demonstrated the ability' of thespleen to take over the blood-formingfunction of bone marrow destroyedby heavy radiation.Dr. Leon 0, Jacobson, MD '39,associate professor of medicine, hasshown the blood-forming ability ofthe spleen in experiments on miceand rabbits exposed to fatal doses ofX rays. When mice had their spleenremoved from their body cavities andshielded by lead, they survived dosesthat killed mice with unprotectedspleens.Similar results were obtained inrabbits when the appendix was re­moved from the body cavity andshielded against radiation.Dr. Jacobson does not believe, how­ever, that the spleen and the appen­dix are the basic agencies of bloodformation. He believes it is possiblethat some other substance which stim­ulates the formation of blood cellsis created within the body's blood­forming tissues. It is also possible thatthe protected lymphatic tissue itself13Dr. Jacobson experiments on micecan send out "colonizing cells" to re­stimulate the bone marrow to bloodformation.This substance, which Dr. Jacob­son i� now attempting to isolate, maybe a hormone with capacities similarto insulin, in terms of potency. Ifisolated, it will have a wide applica­tion in .medicine.Heavier dosages of X rays will bepossible in cases of cancer, and itcould be used in treatment of victimsof radiation, and further, in manag­ing the anemias which occur inde­pendently or in association with can­cer and such diseases as leukemia andHodgkin's disease.2. Discovered a new organ of in­ternal secretion that functions tostimulate the flow of gastric juices.The organ, found in the lining ofthe lower half of the stomach andcalled the antrum, was reported byDr. Lester R. Dragstedt, ' 15, PhD'20, MD '21, chairman of the depart­ment of surgery, and his team of in­vestigators.For the research, Dr. Dragstedt re­ceived the gold medal of the Ameri­can Medical Association, bringing thetotal of top A.M.A. awards grantedUniversity investigators to four since1936. (Dr. Charles B. Huggins, pro­fessor of urology, is a two-time awardwinner and Dr. J. Garrott Allen, as­sociate professor of surgery, receivedthe medal in 1948.)Proof of the antrum was estab­lished by research on dogs. When the14 antrum was completely removed fromthe stomach of dogs, the secretion ofgastric juice in the stomach droppedmarkedly. Transplanting the antrumto either. the large intestine or theduodenum-the 'small intestine lead­ing from the stomach - caused thestomach to secrete abundant amountsof gastric juice.Just how the antrum causes theabundant flow of gastric juice, whichleads to ulcers, is not known. It isknown that the effect does not takeplace through the nervous system,and that food is required to come incontact with the antrum in the in­testine before the flow is stimulated.3. Demonstrated that blood trans­fusions combined with the antibioticdrug aureomycin provide the bestpresently known method of treatingvictims of excess radiation.For the first time, this treatmenthas permitted dogs to survive other­wise deadly doses of radiation in thelaboratory, Dr. J. Garrott Allen, as­sociate professor of surgery, reportedat the annual meeting of the Ameri­can Medical Society at San Francisco.Two out of ten animals survived thecritical six-week period "following ex­posure that ordinarily would result indeath.The transfusions helped replenishthe animal's depleted blood supplyand warded off anemia. The aureo­mycin controlled the infection which. often causes radiation exposure to endfatally.Importance of proper nutritionwas also noted in the research. Ordi­narily, victims of radiation damagemay eat normally for one to twoweeks following exposure. Then, how­ever, their appetite vanishes, and itmay be necessary to resort to feedingthrough the veins.The transfusion of blood and plas­ma also help solve the nutrition prob­lems of irradiation sickness.Dr. Allen also described methodsthat seem to· prevent radiation dam­age before it occurs. Partial shieldingof the body can ward off the worsteffects. Injections before exposure -but not after - of female sex hor­mones or the chemical cysteine alsominimize the damage. The specificantibiotics most effective for humansremain to be investigated.4. Ascertained nine chemicals forma nutritional team that works togetherto keep the bodies of rats [rom toast­zng away.The discovery of the role of theseessential chemicals, technically calledamino acids and found in 'foods suchas meat, eggs, and milk, offers doctorsclues to the better feeding of starva­tion victims and for aiding patientswith disease-wasted bodies.The University pathology researchteam, Dr. Paul R.

Hermany years of experience in counsel­ing women, her broad training in thefield of student affairs, and her charm­ing, gracious personality make her oneof the most respected women in thepersonnel field. We are fortunate tohave her as a full-time member of ourstaff. She and her husband, whoseoffice is in the Loop and who is aUniversity of Chicago graduate, willlive in the apartment formerly gracedby such well-known University per-OCTOBER, 1950 Reflections fromLONG LAI(EBy Robert M. StrozierDean of StudentsFrom his vacation hideout, the Dean writes acolumn for the October Magazine, and previewscoming events for the fall quartersonalities as the Bergstressers, FrankO'Hara, the Bill Morgensterns, andDurbin Rowland [in Hitchcock Hall].Mrs. McCarn's chief work willprobably be with women,' but hertalents and training will not be lim­ited. Her administrative duties willgive wide scope to her interests.Another new personality in the of­fice will be Carl Grip, who will headour residence halls. Carl is a graduateof Beloit, attended Chicago and Illi­nois; and has served with the Dean ofStudents at Illinois for several years.He and his family will live in JudsonCourt.The residence halls have been bust­ling with exciting plans during thesummer, and I shall be greatly sur­prised if this is not our best year inall the residence halls. The staff,which is more than 50 large, has beenorganized into planning committees,and has developed very intelligentand interesting programs in the areasof residence halls, student government,counseling, and cultural activities. Wehave gradually moved toward the fullcoordination of the residence hallswith the' academic program.In the draftDuring the past few weeks threemembers of the residence hall staffhave bowed to the call of the Re­serves, and T am. afraid that the re­mobilization of the country is goingto present several problems whichhave been absent since the last war. The students already are feeling theeffects of the draft, Many of the vet­erans are in the reserve programs, andmany others are awaiting the call ofSelective Service. The official state­ment of the Selective Service thatthe academic year will not be violatedis reassuring for those who are' regis­tered, but the summer took its toll,and an increase in the seriousness ofthe situation will immediately be felton the Quadrangles.It is my own opinion that we are tohave large armed forces' for manyyears to come; the Korean crisis seemsto have alerted the public mind forpreparedness in a way that even PearlHarbor did not achieve. I shall notbe surprised to see our country followthe general lines of the establishedFrench custom requiring every able­bodied young man to spend a year inthe armed forces, regardless of thepossibilities of conflict.Orienting as usualBut youth will be spirited regardlessof what its future may be, and thesummer straws portend an AutumnQuarter packed with activities. TheChancellor will charm the new stu­dents, as usual, during OrientationWeek, and everything gets under waywith the charged atmosphere that onlyOctober can bring to the University.The lethargy of the summer passes as17New students pass Wieboldt arch on campus toursuddenly as though an innocent-look­ing cloud had swiftly developed in .oa storm of hurricane proportions.The campus politicians are alreadypointing toward the October StudentAssembly elections. The Studen tUnion has chosen its new president­Burt Wasserman. The debate squadhas been deeply engrossed in pre­season research into the problem ofthe President's Point Four Program.More than fifty student groups haveregistered for display booths duringActivities Night which climaxes Ori­entation Week. And Miss CarolSaunders, the Assistant Director ofStudent Activities, is already applyingher unlimited energies and talents tothe planning of the social activities.1 hope most of you saw Cleary'sletter to Life about our Outing Club,one of the Student Union's most suc­cessful ventures. Long trips for allholidays and shorter ones for week­ends are made regularly by this group.Each trip is expertly planned and ex­ecuted, and the expense is phenome­nally low. Brinton Stone, of our De-18 velopment Office, went on the springtrip and gave me an account whichwould make even the most passionate­ly civilized ready to rough it for a fewdays. Brint was formerly Dean of Menat Alfred University and is quite anou tdoors man himself.My own outdoor activities hit a newlow last week when I took my sons,Bob and Chuck, fishing, and eachcame home with five crappies whilepapa was skunked!The athletic facultyI t is surprising, however, to notehow many of our faculty people pos­sess athletic interests and talents. Ourtwo new handball courts in BartlettGym are at last open, and are beingused full time. There has been agita­tion for three years from students andfaculty for more courts-more de­mand from the faculty than from thestudents.Each late afternoon, groups of fac­ulty members gather at Bartlett forswimming, handball, and generalworkouts. Among the regulars are Howell Wright, Joe Mullin, AltonLinford, W. F. Ogburn, and HerbBlumer. Mr. Ogburn is the most in­defatigable of all. He plays tennisat the Quadrangle Club at noon whenthe temperatures are in the nineties,ruris around the track several timesbefore his swims, and, in generaJ, doesmany things, physical as well as intel­lectual, that make many of ouryounger men envious.Durable deansThere seems to be a quality of dur­ability and loyalty to the Universityin Deans of Students. This summerthe four of us who have held the posi­tion were in and about the QuadClub. The first, Mr. George Works,is temporarily living there while hecompletes a special project in Chica­go; Mr. Aaron Brumbaugh, the sec-·ond, as the n�w president of ShimerCollege, makes frequent visits to thecampus because of our close affiliationwith him and his school; and Mr.Lawrence Kimpton, the third, hasreturned to the University as Vice·President in charge of development.I hope that I shall be able to earn thekind of enthusiastic reception given toeach of -these men as they appearedback on campus. I worked close toLarry Kimpton for two years, and Iknow that his return to the Universityis a happy, wise, and fortunate move.It is 'interesting to note, however,that just as our campus inevitablydraws these talented men back to it,j t also is the starting point of manyimportant and exciting expeditions. Ihave just read the summer issue of theFaculty News Bulletin, and again,I am impressed by the activities ofour faculty. Besides the great workon campus, members of the group arelecturing, doing special research, read­ing papers and writing in every cor­ner of the globe-from Rangoon toIraq.Vacations are fine, but to return tothe University of Chicago is finer. Tobe a part of this faculty, and to workwith our intelligent and alert stu­dents, is both stimulating and inspir­ing-e-and excellent preparation fornext year's vacation!.Sincerely yours,Robert M.
