In the monthsahead we will feature those classes who are. due back on the quadrangles for reunionsnext June S.. The idea struck us in late Septemberwhen we were reviewing the events of lastJune's reunion. We had attended some ofthe class reunions on Friday night-in factwe Won three golf balls, a door prize at theClass of 1920 celebration!These reunions were so much fun weWere now wondering what we could do tomake next June's class celebrations biggerand better. An earlier start was the obviousanswer.So we had double postal cards typed forall 6S6 undergraduate members of theClass of 1926-due to celebrate their bigtwenty-fifth next year. The cards askedfor news and carried a poll to see howmany would plan to attend.In two weeks we had 150 returns, 95ac.ceptances, and six-pages of news! WithWIVes ana husbands it looks like the ballroom of· the Shoreland. And the Class of'26 news section will have to be carriedthrough the coming months.'THE IDEA SPREAD-with such phe­nomenal success on this first mailing thatWe are rushing out double cards to themembers of the classes of1901-50th reunion1911-40'th reunion1921-30th reunion1931-20th reunion1941-10th reunionSections of the Magazine will be set apartfor news of these class members and beforethe first of the year we hope officers andCommittees from the classes will be atWork laying plans for the biggest series ofclas's reunions in the recent history of theUniversity. 'Headquarters will work with all classesand progress reports will be carried in theMagazine.You DON'T KNOW ANYONE in yourClass? Among those who indicate they willnot attend the reunion are some who saythey don't know anyone in their class. WeqUote the President of our Association, a,member of the Class of 1915.

Theyhad been inseparable classmates since the4th grade; they planned to attend Chicagotogether after high school; and they haddecided to make an early acquaintance withthe campus.In a heat-sticky Cobb cubicle they wereput to work addressing stacks and stacksof envelopes.After university graduation the girls re­mained together in the Bureau of Records,Gladys finally becoming office manager andRuth, head of statistics, of which that officemostly has nothing else but.Ruth became Mrs. Carne and Gladvs,Mrs. Calder, but happily no vacancies 'inthe office resulted. Finally the inevitablehappened. This spring, came a vacancyand a separation.Gladys and RuthGladys joined her husband on a full­time basis on their SO-acre farm in NewBuffalo, Michigan, where they have justcompleted a new brick house.Gladys will be missed by more thanRuth and scores of office personnel, faculty,and administrative friends.Generations of students have known herat Convocations through the years. Herfriends on campus can only hope that theseven brand new pigs on the Calder estatemay appear on the quadrangles with ap­ples in their mouths along about theholidays.Inside informationPublished monthly by the UniversityClinics Guild.,· and circulated among thevarious hospital' and medical school units,is an eight-page mimeographed monthlytitled: "Inside Information." The clever andalert editor is Joyce Cannon, wife of Dr.Paul Cannon, chairman of the departmentof pathology.The first fall issue, October, has justcome to. our desk. As usual it's full ofClinic news interspersed with humorous ex­clamation points, e.g.,"Dr. Merle Coulter attended a conferenceof dental school administrators and facultymembers at the University of Oregon, Port­land. And, of all things, when cominghome, he had a tooth fall out!"Editor Cannon's column about the med­ical faculty in Europe over the summershould be passed on to our many physicianand surgeon readers, who will know manyof the travelers. Normally, we don't try to keep youposted on our faculty's European travels.Among the scores and scores of facultymembers we know, we could more easilyname the few' who haven't been travelingthan take pages. to list those who have. Andthe conferences they attend have such longand complicated names; and our facultyfriends get so irritated when we misspell "name, that we gave up long since.But with another editor to take' thecredit and blame, here is the column from"Inside Information":IN EUROPE THIS SUMMERDr. A. J. Carlson attended the Inter­national Congress of Gerontology at Liege,Belgium, in July, then visited Scandinaviancolleagues until the meeting of the Inter­national Physiological Congress at Copen­hagen in August. He got home in time toappear at a medical quackery trial and be­fore a food investigating committee. Peopledon't seem to know that he has "retired."Drs. Ralph Gerard and Patrick Wall alsoattended the Physiological Congress atCopenhagen. Dr. Wall took part in theInternational Congress of Anatomy at Ox­ford.Dr. Huggins attended the Conference onCancer in London in July, and then pre­sented a paper before the InternationalCancer Conference in Paris. He visited inDenmark before joining his family in NovaScotia for the month of August.Dr. Phemister was an exchange professorat the University of Paris Medical School.He was enthusiastically received by themedical students when he gave his ninelectures in French.Dr. J. W. J. Carpender attended the In­ternational Congress of Radiology at Lon­don and visited various radiology centerson the Continent.Dr. Leon Jacobson has been givingpapers all over Europe. There was theCancer Conference in Paris, then the Ra­diology Congress in London and a Hema­tology Society in Cambridge. At present heis talking at several places in the Scan­dinavian countries, and will attend meet­ings of the Atomic Energy Commission inLondon before returning home on October17.Dr. AU Alving and son, Eric, flew toCopenhagen for the Physiological Congress,then visited relatives in Sweden and didsome sight-seeing on the Continent and inEngland.Superman?After you have rea�oo profile -of- Dr.Coggeshall (boxed in the article on TheCommon Cold), you will wonder how hecan supervise efficiently IS departments, asDean of the Biological Sciences, and keephealthy.Apart from the respect and cordial co­operation he has from all his colleagues,he has the ability to relax. When he stepsinto the Canasta room at the Club, heseems to have no care except to rememberthe cards in the pack and what his op­ponents are saving.Last spring we drove him to Milwaukeefor an alumni club meeting. After hisspeech at the University Club, we returnedto the car and he stretched out in the backseat. As we turned onto Wisconsin Ave­nue, two blocks from the Club, we said,"Did you get to meet Dr .... " But theDean was dead to the Milwaukee world.Rough pavements, stop lights, roaringtrucks, and Chicago streets had no effecton him until we stopped in front of hisBlackstone Avenue home. He was relaxedand rested.-H.W.M.1These 38 students are among the sixty-one sons or daughters ofalumni who entered the College in October.

Its pricelesscollections from Egypt, Persia, Assyria, Syria, and Sumeria-Bablyonia,have been assembling since 1920 when founder Dr. James Breastedfirst set out by horse drawn wagon, in north Syria, on his crusade torecover the early chapters missing from man's progress toward civili­zation. There have been 14 expeditions since, which have collectedmost of the 50,000 objects now housed in the museum, and con­tributed mightily to U. S. friendship with the peoples of the near East.In the symbolic sculpture which arches over the Instit�t:';\loor.way, an Egyptian scribe, surrounded by a lion, the pyramids, Orientai leaders, and the sphl�i" entrusts the tasks of eivil'iza­tion to the young and aggressive West.WHY STUD\T THE ANCIEN:T PAST?professions, one can get release fromthe tensions of the present by partici­pating in, activities that are momen-.tarily significant or directly relevant.We at the Institute are subject tothe some tensions but cannot possiblyenjoy so simple an escape. We havemighty solid reason for sticking. Wehave done our thinking and we arenot only sticking, we are out to makethe Oriental Institute the biggestthing it can possibly be. And this iswhy.Does the past enslave?The Institute is concerned withthe past and sometimes with a pastmuch more remote than Hecuba's.But some folk think that the pastis something people can or shouldget away from.

To quote Ham­let: "What is he to Hecuba or He­cuba to him that he should weep forher?" It all seems so remote andirrelevant.Release from nervous tensionIf you have not actually thought ofthese problems, we at the' OrientalInstitute have. For we live just asmuch in the Atomic Age as anyoneelse and strange as it may seem, weare well ahead of many in facing upto the implications of that fact.The reason is not hard to state.You may be devoted to medicine or.law or the social sciences, to nuclearphysics or mathematics or the minis­try.

This happens when thepast is taken in some absolute sense tobe a norm' or a determinant ofthought' and' action. There were cen­turies. in the history of western civili­zation . when particular segments ofhistory provided such a' norm to itsown disadvantage, and there are' stillcountries 'in the world so burdenedby the authority of a normative pastthat for them progress is difficult, ifnot impossible.We hold no brief for such a norma­tive conception of history, but thatdoes not mean that we would agreeto discard the past if we could. In-6 stead we regard the past, as an al­most limitless source of vicarious ex­perience in the adventure of humanliving and in this capacity, as an es­sential factor in the stimulation . ofcreative effort.We are all debtorsWeare all of us debtors to the· past, when we learn or do somethingnew. The man who learns to drive'an automobile or to sell IBM ma­chines or to keep the accounts of asmall business establishment inevi­tably benefits by watching or being· instructed by those who know. His re­lation to the. past .is so shallow, be-• iug limited to. his own earlier con­.temporaries, that he can well succumbto the illusion of not being in debt tothe past and since no creative actsare .required of him 'the illusion.probably does little harm.It is quite a different matter whenit comes to calculating the founda­tions of a 20-story building on Michi­gan Avenue or planning the next phase in the program of cancer re­search. Here large bodies of informa­tion accumulated in the past aredrawn Upon and the extent to whichthis information is properly appliedand interpreted both as to its rele­vance and its shortcomings, is themeasure of the success or value of thenew undertaking.It is quite a different matter stillwhen it comes to things that expressthe thought of the creative individual,whether Sartre, Dali, Wallace Ste­vens, or Stravinski.They can be un­derstood only in relation to the pastwhich has gone before and tran­scended 'only by those who thus un­derstand them.THE AUTHORLast February/at his first pressconference as the new Directorof Oriental Institute, Dr. Krael­ing made news by being optimis­tic about the atomic bomb.In studying man�s ancientpast, he explained, he had foundthat "human beings always thinkthe end of everything is in sight,as new means of warfare de­velop. There was equally graveforeboding when the Romans in­creased the length' of their spearsand the Assyrians added scythesto the wheels of their chariots."On many recent occasions, inchatty, colloquial speeches toinvestment bankers and factoryworkers alike, he has reiteratedhis belief that America, as leaderof the w est ern world today,needs the kind. of historical per­spective and counsel io h i c hcom�s from studying the bestman . has produced throughouthistory .. He intends to morewidely disseminate the Institute'srich' store of scholarship, assem­bled over 31 years and 14 ex-. peditions, not only to otherUniversity departments but thecity at large.He ,came here from r ale,where he directed the Instituteof N ear Easte�n Studies, and waswidely known as an expert onOriental and Hellenistic civiliza­tions. He is president of theAmerican Schools of OrientalResearch, underwritten by some65 U.S. universities and col­leges, which maintains schoolsin Jerusalem and Baghdad.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEProfiting by the pastI have been interested in learningfrom a recent address by a dis tin­?uished Harvard alumnus, residingIn Chicago, just how much an un­derstanding of the contemporaryBritish 'financial situation requires ag�asp of the policies inaugurated bySIr Robert Peel; I have also heard� well-known industrialist discuss theImportance of a knowledge of thefIumanities for the development andSUCcess of industrial enterprise.When it comes to matters of na­tional policy and the guidance of hu­man welfare, nothing less than af��l knowledge of the social and po­lItIcal history of the existing statesand of the experiments in democracy�f Whatever age and nation will suf­fIce if wisdom is to be reflected andprogress is to be made .. And in . theultimate questions of the meaningand value of life and of human as­Piration, nothing of the best thatman has ever ventured to think or todream or to create is irrelevant.All of this means but two things,first that man has become what heis because of his ability to benefitby the cumulative impact of his pastexperiences, and second. that the�ore ultimate the concern, the greaterbis need for the vicarious experi­e?ce that the past can afford, to en­rIch and enlighten the present.Man's eternal struggle-upwardMuch of the relevance to the pres­e?t that its concern with the .pastgIves to the Oriental Institute itshares with those academic disciplinesthat are normally lumped together un­der the general heading of the Hu­ll1anities. To these humanistic dis­ciPlines, if they but remainedContinuously aware of it, is given thesupreme privilege-namely to tracethe feverish course of man's upwardstruggle through the millenia of time,to hibi h .ex I It t e magmficent productsof his unending effort to express, tocreate and to excel, and to follow hisceaseless quest of cosmic intergration;s he storms heaven itself to wrestfom an over-ruling Providence thePromise of its benediction.h By virtue of this, their privilege,t. e several agencies of the Humani-tIes a' . . h h .re III a pOSItIOn to trow t eirown special softening light upon thenature of the present crisis.

The differ­ence, psychologically, is that thesource of power in 1950 is cosmicand that we, because of the seculariza­tion of our culture, have becomeless accustomed to thinking in cos­mic terms.They show that our sense of the im­minence of catastrophe is in part atleast the result of a natural fore­shortening of perspective such as hasrepeatedly occurred in periods of dis­junction in the cultural process. Theyshow that, in addition to all we cando by way of mobilizing our naturaltechnological and human resources,we need to concentrate on the thingsthat men have always lived by andlived for, the things that have giventhem the moral strength to persevereeven when things looked hopeless.

That is, it con­sists of a group of scholars whoseprimary responsibility it is to selectcarefully certain strategic objectivesand, by pooling their efforts and re­sources for the achievement of them,to advance human knowledge andunderstanding in a measure exceed­ing that attainable by an equal num­ber of scholars working separately.In the sciences such institutes haverecently sprung up in large numbersand find their natural support in theindustrial concerns and the govern­ment agencies that expect to benefitdirectly from their. services.

The cold remains one of man's most important,baffling diseases. Yet science is sure a cure will be foundTHE COLD IS STILL CHAMPBy Dr. Lowell T. CoggeshallTHERE ARE PROBABLY moremisconceptions about the com­Inon cold than any single disease. Thisapplies especially to its cause whichhas been variously ascribed to drafts,exposure, fatigue, bacteria, viruses,and innumerable other factors.The same holds true of its cure,for there are literally hundreds ofInethods of treatment and therapeu­tic agents. None are really effective.The chief reason for this confusionis that as yet no one knows withceItainty the cause of the disease ordiseases-there are probably manydifferent kinds of common colds.Resists the antibioticsThere can. be no doubt, however,�bout the importance of this condi­bon which is one of the few in thelist of infectious diseases which do notrespond favorably to the sulfonamidesOr antibiotics, such as penicillin, strep­�OInycin, aureomycin, etc. The most�Inportant of these "other exceptions"lnclude poliomyelitis, influenza, andtUberculosis.Actually there are now some veryPromising leads in the treatment oftUberculosis. Although polio hastragic results for the individual, eithert�rough death or crippling deformi­tIes, it is not nearly as important tothe general public as the commonCold. This is certainly true, consid­ered from the economic standpoint.A billion wasted days. There is general agreement amonglnvestigators that the average num­ber of colds per individual annually is�t least two. Since the average dura­bon is about five days, we suffer morethan a billion days of discomfortNOVEMBER, 1950 and reduced efficiency in the UnitedStates, not considering the fact thatmany of these colds are followed bya 'period of debility and more seriouscomplications. With the increasedcosts of medical care, and in addi­tion, the costs of enforced idleness,it is unnecessary to point to the stag­gering financial sums involved.In my opinion, the common cold isone of, if not the most importantdiseases of man.The above statements except forminor variations are for the mostpart a matter of common knowledge.What this audience wants to knowis: are scientists working on thisproblem? Is there any progress? Theanswer to both is definitely "yes."No progress for centuriesAlthough there are a few excep­tions, effective treatment of anyDr. Lowell T. Coggeshall medical disorder awaits the under­standing of the cause. Historicallyin ancient writings, we find accuratedescriptions of the common cold thatare identical with those observed to­day. With the exception of the ob­servation that colds spread rapidly bycontact and that the responsible agentwas assumed to be a micro-organism,little progress in the, discovery ofthe cause was made for centuries.The culprit-a filterable virusSince the invention of the im­proved microscope and newer bacteri­ological techniques, a larger numberof well characterized organisms andviruses have been studied intensivelywith the idea that one or moremight be responsible for causing thecommon cold.In' .1914 Kruse took the nasal secre­tions of individuals in the acute stagesof a cold and filtered out all bacteria.When the filtrate was injected into thenasal passages of five volunteers,four came down with identical symp­toms exhibited by the ill patients[rom whom the secretions' were ob­tained. This was the first definiteevidence pointing to a filterable vi­rus as the offender.Although these investigd�ions wererepeated and confirmed in essentiallythe. same manner by others, no onewas able to isolate and cultivate theagent by any known method. Nor wasanyone ' able to transmit the diseaseto an experimental animal, the failureof which is an almost insuperablehandicap in the study of infectiousdisease.In i926 Dr. A. Raymond Dochezat the Rockefeller Institute was ableto transmit bacteria-free secretions to9chimpanzees who subsequently camedown with colds.He also took the same materialand planted it on living chicken em­bryo and then passed the infectedembryo tissue from egg to egg at ap­proximately weekly intervals. Thematerial remained infectious to thechimps for eighty of these passages,or almost two years, before it diedout. Thus again there is the implica­tion that a virus rather than bacteriais the cause of the common cold, butconclusive proof was still not ob­tained.Since the chimpanzee is far froma satisfactory animal and extremelycostly besides, similar studies werenot prosecuted. During the intervalbetween World War I and II mostof the research activity was devotedto the identification and behaviourof normal 'organisms in. the nose andthroat in well individuals and thevariations that occurred during colds.Two kinds of colds!During World War II, the Sur­geon General's Office, U. S. Army,established a special Commission onAcute Respiratory Diseases. Thiscommission stimulated many studies,many of which are still active. Oneof the most significant findings wasa report that there were two distincttypes of colds which could be trans­mitted to human volunteers.The incubation period of onelasted for one to two days; the other,for five to six days. Of greater im­portance was the finding that vol­unteers could not be reinfected withthe same material. In other words,they were immune. How long theimmunity lasts is uncertain. This doesoffer some hope, however, that ifthere should prove to be relativelyfew agents responsible for the com­mon cold, and they could be isolatedand grown, a vaccine is at least apossibility. The vaccines available to­day to immunize individuals againstacute upper respiratory infectionshave not been successful. One· couldhardly expect them to be becausethey are prepared from organismsthat in all probability are not thecause of colds but merely secondaryoffenders.In 1946 British workers initiateda study on the common cold in alaboratory erected in England by theAmerican Red Cross. This laboratory10 was redesigned to permit rigid iso­lation from outside human contacts.Subjects were held in quarantine un­til there was no likelihood that thenewcomer was in the early non-recog­nizable stage of a cold. These volun­teers were then given various materi­als, usually secretions from individualswith colds. Although the studies arefar from complete, we learn manythings from them.First and foremost, and this maysound paradoxical-the more theyTHE AUTHOROne of the heftiest adminis­trative jobs in the University isheld by the Dean of the Divisionof the Biological Sciences.Dr. Coggeshall, Dean since[uly, 1947� currently supervisesno less than 18 departments,ranging from Anatomy, HomeEconomics, Obstetrics and Gyne­cology through the new Instituteof Radiobiology and Bioph-ysics,and the American M eat I nsti­tute.He is head man in the Uni­uersity' s great Medical and Bio­logical Research Center, whichcounts upward of 700 staffmembers, and five hospitals(with more to come) � known asone of the most progressive andpromising medical centers in theworld. T he Dean is likewise ac­countable for spending manythousands a year on governmentresearch projects on campus;and he .top-advises the Rocke­feller Foundation on its medicalresearch program.During the last uiar, Dr. Cog­geshall was a captain in theMedical Corps, in charge of theN aval Hospital of Tropical Dis­eases, in Oregon.

Ex­perimental animals included mice,rats, guinea pigs, cotton rats, rab­bits, moles, hamsters, squirrels, hedgehogs, monkeys, baboons, apes, andseveral others."Catching" for 7 daysThey learned that a pedigree strainof the common cold virus can bemaintained from volunteer to volun­teer. They have learned many of thephysical properties of the virus, itssize, weight, and stability. It. willsurvive two years or more at -76Co,and will last for days in an icebox. Inthe infected individual it can be de­tected at least seven days after theonset. Thus a convalescing personcan spread a cold long after the acutestage has passed. These and manyother findings about the susceptibi­lity. and resistance of the individualto "catch" or "ward off" colds arebeing learned.Most important are some very recentstudies yet unpublished by Dr. ToJllWard and his co-workers at JohnsHopkins, Baltimore, which seem to in­dicate beyond doubt that they cangrow a r virus of the common cold inegg embryos and successfully repro­duce all symptoms of a cold in vol­unteers. Their material has been triedby other workers, particularly inCleveland with confirming results.The work of Dr. Ward sub­stantiates a similar earlier study byTopping and his associates, at theNational Institute of Health, of theUnited States Public Health Service,who also grew the virus but were un­able to perpetuate the strain indefi­nitely. Thus is would seem apparentthat we are probably still far fro IIIknowing all about the cause of thecommon cold. There are several in­vestigators at work in the problem,however, and some very definite leadSare at hand.No discussion of the common coldis complete without mention of treat­ment. Almost everyone has his ownfoolproof method for preventing ofcuring colds. Yet colds remain justas numerous and annoying as theyhave al ways been.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE IAntihistamines-no treatmentThe latest remedy to receive wideacclaim is the antihistamine drugs.Early noncritical studies indicatedtheir value as prophylactics or cures.The reason for their alleged successprobably stemmed from the fact thatthey give temporary relief to indiv­iduals with. swollen' and congestedmembranes.The most careful study reported todate was by Feller and his colleaguesin Cleveland. Their studies warrantspecial consideration because beforethe value of antihistamine drugs wasannounced he was already conduct­ing an intensive study into the oc­CUrrence and behaviour of colds inlarge population groups in Cleveland.Following the announcement of thebeneficial effects of the antihistamines,which were widely publicized throughboth scientific and lay channels, heinitiated a special study to evaluatetheir alleged effectiveness. The groupselected for study included 376 casesof respiratory illness in 35 families.Eighty-seven were treated with anti­histamines and 289 served as con­trols. Every possible variation thatlhight affect the investigation wastaken into consideration. Starch pills,Which looked and tasted exactly likethe medicated pills, were given asCOntrols. Volunteers were inoculatedSo that investigators were aware ofthe probable onset and characteristicsof the subsequent infection. Manyother careful checks were includedin the study. The results are toolengthy to comment upon in detail,but they definitely condemn the useof antihistamines.The authors' conclusions are verymUch to the point. They say, "Theantihistaminic drugs have been evalu­ated by observing their effect onnaturally occurring responsible in­�ections and by determination of their. �nfiuence on common colds develop-Ing after the experimental inoculationof volunteers. No beneficial P);O­PhYlactic or therapeutic effect wasdemonstra ted."U of C researchThese negative data have been con­firmed in a similar study of the anti­histaminic drugs in treatment of thecommon cold, at Great Lakes Navall'raining Station, in Naval Medical�OVEMBER, 1950 "Why", asks Dr. Loosli, "does one man say he never has a cold while another complainshe is always catching colds?" To. learn just how colds. spread, he and his staff are usingthe influenza virus as a model virus, and examining its effects on mice and ferrets.Research Laboratory Number Four.Doctors Clayton Loosli and WilliamLester, '38, MD '41, of the Univer­sity of Chicago Medical and ResearchCenter, served as consultants.Dr. Loosli, Professor of Preventa­tive Medicine, and his collegues areengaged in extensive research intohow colds and 'other respiratory dis­eases spread.For the common cold is only oneof the many upper respiratory in­fections that affect man. Epidemicinfluenza is another and may simu­la te the symptoms of colds. The virusof influenza has been isolated forseveral years and is adapted for studyin fertile eggs and in animals. Atthe University Dr. Loosli and his as­sociates are studying all phases ofinfluenza infections in animals andthe student population in an effortto shed more light on the pathology,immunity, control and treatment ofthis world-wide disease.Such information will lead to amore complete understanding of themysteries of the "cold virus" and howit produces infections. Another virus,mouse pneumonitis virus, which oc­casionally produces upper respiratoryinfections in man, is being employedin animals in the study of the general problem of control of respiratory tractinfections. This virus will respond totreatment with various antibioticssuch as penicillin and aureomycinwhereas these drugs have no effect oninfluenza infections. The survival ofbacteria and viruses in the environ­ment and how. they spread throughthe population is another importantstudy which should lead to more ef­fective methods of prevention of thecommon cold and other respiratorytract infections.But the cold will be banishedIn conclusion it is well to repeatthat as yet there are no definite an­swers to the cause or possible causesof the common cold. But there is in­creasing information that incrimin­ates a virus' which can be cultivatedoutside the human body. This is im­portant-and future investigations inthis field can be viewed with someoptimism.Although the antihistaminics can­not be recommended for preventionor treatment of the common cold, itseems appropriate to quote one of theleading British investigators whostates, "I am confident even if it isthe last human infection to be over­come, science will banish the com­mon cold in the end."11t,W-bai;., ..."It Means To Be EducatedL. ,',; .:-: ':;" ": .: -.'

Let us not ·dolikewise, in the' name of religion or patriotismBy Robert M. HutchinsEditor's note: This address by theChancellor was made to new collegestudents, assembled in RockefellerChapel.WE KNOW THAT we are closerto war now than we have beenin the last five years and that, ifthe war comes; it will be the worstthe world has ever seen. It will befirst within the memory of _living menin which the cities and homes ofAmerica will be destroyed. Even now,unless some change occurs in the pol­icy of this country or in the inter­national situation, we know that someof you will sooner or later be calledto the colors and sent overseas toremote parts of the earth to face dan­ger and death.Education-for what?In view of the prospects of the so­ciety to which you belong and of yourown personal prospects, the question iswhy you should be here. The answermust depend on your conception, ofeducation. If the object of educationis to prepare you for a better job,then there is little an institution likethis can do for you when the onlyvocation that you are certain to followis soldiering. If the object of educa­tion is to give you a leg up the socialladder, then. education should beabandoned when society is in disinte­gration. If the object of educationis to adjust you to your environment,then education seems a footless enter­prise when nobody knows what yourenvironment will be. If the object ofeducation is to give you a good timeor to keep you out of harm's wayuntil you are old enough to do some-12 thing else, then you should seek outsome less painful and expensive wayof occupying yourselves than educa­tion at the University of Chicago.Education is a process by whichmen are made better. This requiressome idea of what men are, so that wemay have some standard by which tosay that this or that is good or badfor them. I hold that men are moral,intellectual, and spiritual beings andthat to make them better means tomake them better as such beings.This requires standards of morals, in­tellectuality, and spirituality by whichwe can hope to judge what it meansto be better or worse in these re­spects. There have, been many sys­tems of training or instruction in theworld that cannot by these standardsbe called educational systems. An ob­vious example is the Nazi system,which was a program of making menworse so that they might be the faith­ful servants of a bad state.Education is not enoughEducation cannot do the whole jobof transforming the whole infant intothe whole adult. Education is merelyone agency by which this process isaccomplished. The other principalagencies are the family and thechurch. They are concerned with themoral and spiritual development ofmankind. The educational system isconcerned with its intellectual devel­opment. This does not mean that theeducational system is' not interestedin the moral and spiritual progressof society. An educational system thatwas not prepared to support suchprogress would be as bad as a familythat sought to promote good habits by promoting stupidity or a churchthat confused spirituality and igno­rance .. We can separate the powersof men for purposes of analysis; butwe cannot separate them in life. Wemust say, therefore, that since thefamily, the church, and the education­al system are concerned with the sameman, and since that man is a whole,they areall concerned with his morals,his intellect, and his spiritual nature;we must say at the same time that,.since each of these agencies has dif­ferent capacities, each has a differenttask in regard to this same man; eachis concerned with a different aspect ofhis nature, or each is concerned witha different aspect of his nature to adifferent' degree.Reasons for habitsThe educational system is primarilyconcerned. with the mind, and thehigher you go in the educational sys­tem the more definite and primary thisconcern becomes. The nursery schooland the kindergarten may properlydevote themselves to the sheer taskof animal training, to the business ofteaching young human animals cer­.tain elementary habits that are neces:sary to their survival as individualsand as groups. But by the time thecollege and the university have beer'reached, it is almost certain that thesehabits have been formed. A collegeor university can seek to provide at}atmosphere favorable to the continua"tion of good habits and unfavorableto the continuation of bad ones. Ifcan also do something infinitely moreimportant: it can supply the intel­lectual foundations of good habits.Habits are formed by acts; and theprocess of animal training is to forJ11these habits by repeated acts inducedunder compulsion or persuasion withlittle or no explanation. Since' habitis second nature, these habits in �well trained animal, may be relied 00·But man is the most eccentric and er'ratic of the animals. He has to kno�the reason for things. If he doeSnot know the reason, and sometime"when he does, his habits break dow''just when he needs them most. Theobject of education is to supply thereason for things. Among the mostimportant things for which it seekSto supply the reason are morals aO&religion. A man who habitually pef"forms good acts or who habitually re'THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINP'frains from bad' ones because it is thething to do, or because he is afraidof getting caught, may look like agood man, but he is not, because hehas no good reason for behaving ashe does.The most truly human being. is theman who has most fully developed hismoral intellectual . and spiritualpowe;s. The object'of education, andin particular of higher education, isto help him develop his intellectualPowers. This is accomplished by per­sistent inquiry into the reason forthings. This. helps. us to understandwhy higher education is likely to beunpopular with the dominant ele­ments in society unless those ele­ments are themselves enlightened. Thedominant elements in any societywould be perfectly willing to supportan educational program designed tofit the young into society with aminimum of discomfort. They wouldbe perfectly willing to have the uni­versity perform the same function asthe nursery school.Independent thought, disturbingPersistent inquiry into the reasonfor things is likely to be disquieting.Independent thought is almost by defi­nition disturbing. Large and influen­tial groups in America have thereforealways sought to limit the independ­ence of the universities' thought andthe scope of their inquiry. Sometimesthese groups have operated in thename of .religion; but more oftenthey have carried on their subversiveactivities, as they are doing now, inthe name of patriotism. We must seethe attitude of, the professors whohave lately been 'ejected from theUniversity of California not as aneXaggerated sensitivity resulting fromthe sin of pride, but as a protestagainst what seemed to them the firststep toward limiting the independence?f the University and the scope ofIts in'quiry. The fact is, of course,that a society that limits independentthought and free inquiry must die;and the rulers of the Soviet Unionwin yet learn this to their cost. Charles�alik, delegate from Lebanon to theUnited Nations, recently made ananalysis of the East and the Westfrom the standpoint of one whoStands between the two, and con­cluded that the great superiority ofthe West over the East lay not in thelttilitary and technological power of�OVEMBER, '·1950 the West but in the fact that in the,.West the church and the universitywere free.lndoc+rine+ion and slogansThe process of animal training,when applied to human animals, be­comes at last a process of indoctrina­tion. This is a process of laying downthe law, of ,saying what is and whatis not a subject of free inquiry andcriticism of declaring what the mores,.of the tribe will permit or will forbidto be discussed, On a national scale,it is likely to lead to a sort of tribalself-adoration. Then you will hearslogans like this: We have the besteconomic system and the best form ofgovernment in the world; anybodywho says that they can be improvedis a traitor. No educator can takethis view, because the object of edu­cation is to think, and to require' theunthinking acceptance of doctrine isthe exact opposite of education. Nothinker who has a defensible concep­tion of mankind can take this view,because he must hold that unless menthink they cannot be truly men. Noenlightened lover of his country cantake this view, because he must as­sert that in proportion as the citizens of a country can think and think forthemselves they and their country willgrow in happiness.One must be cautious in makingstatements about the effects of theeducational system upon nationalpower. I should be reluctant to at­tribute the present position of GreatBritain and France to their education­al systems, which seem to me to havemany points of excellence. I shouldbe loath to attribute the power thatthe United States has enjoyed since,the war to its educational system,which seems to be in some respectsinferior to that of Great Britain andFrance. The educational system ofImperial Germany was probably thebest in the world; yet Imperial Ger­many did not behave very well. TheWeimar Republic had a good educa-_ tional system, but it collapsed. TheNazis did not have an educationalsystem at all; what went under thatname was a vicious system of indoc­trination. Nazi Germany was de­stroyed. Sweeping generalizationsabout the relation between educationand prosperity would seem unwar­ranted. Certainly I would not recom­mend that any other country adoptthe American system with a view toachieving America's prosperity.Receiving line, Autumn 1950; Chancellor Hutchins again greets incoming, students.The lady on his right is Mrs. Ruth McCarn, new assistant dean of students, and firstwoman ever to hold the post.13So it is with individuals. Thoughyou may find individuals who are well­educated and prosperous, there aremany well-educated people who arenot prosperous, and many uneducatedpeople who are. It would be hardto show that the prosperity of theeducated resulted from their educa­tion. It is far more likely that theywere able to acquire the educationbecause their parents were prosperous.At the University of Chicago if analumnus becomes what is called asuccess in life we take the credit forit. If he goes to the penitentiary,we say that he was a bad risk andwas admitted only by accident. Toomany factors enter into the materialsuccess or material failure of indi­viduals or nations for us to say thattheir education is responsible.Stupidity breeds calamityYet we must hold that for indi­viduals and nations it is better to beintelligent than stupid, better to beenlightened than ignoran t, better toknow the reasons for things than notto know them, better to be able tothink than to be incapable of thought.The histories of individuals and na­tions are complicated, but we mustagree that many calamities comeupon them by their own stupidity.There is some reason to think thatthe greatest calamity that has yet be­fallen our country, the Civil �War,might have been averted if the col­leges of the South had been allowedto be centers of independent criti­cism. By the same tokeft '�pere issome reason to think that !th� Daneshave maintained their p�$�;iion andachieved a high order at' civilizationbecause of, the educational revivalthat began in Denmark seventy-fiveyears ago and because of the freedomof their institutions of higher learning.But when all is said and done, edu­cation is an act of faith. It rests onthe assumption that rational animalscan become more rational, and that,if they do, they will 'be more likelyto control their animality. In thecase of individuals, it seems self­evident that all men seek to be happy;and it is likely that, whatever theminor, secondary ingredients of hap­piness, the one indispensable ingredi­ent is the sense of developing one'shighest powers. The life of the mindis the most satisfactory, as it is themost indestructible life there is.J,4 When education boomerangsThe American contribution to thetheory of education is that all mencan live the life of the mind, thoughthey may not all be able to live it tothe same extent. It is true that muchof the American defense of universaleducation is itself indefensible, aswhen it rests, for example, on theproposition that everybody must beeducated in order to be able to get ajob or to read the newspapers. Peoplehave worked before now, and workedwell, without education. The argu­ment for education that is based onthe notion that it increases thechances of material success has some­thing of a boomerang about it; forif the person gets the best availableeducation and then gets a very poorjob, what is he to think of his educa­tion and of those who promised himsuccess by reason of it?The argument for education thatis based on the notion that the elec­torate must be able to read and listenand inform itself about public af­fairs assumes that the electorate willhave something to read and to listento that will give it the informationit requires and that it will have thetrained intelligence necessary to ap­praise such information. When we seethat the principal cultural manifesta­tion of our epoch is the comic book,when we listen to the radio, look attelevision, and read the newspapers,we wonder whether universal educa­tion has been the great boon to civili­zation that its sponsors have alwaysclaimed that it would be. Eminentcritics have lately held that universaleducation, instead of improving man­kind, has promoted its degradationby supplying wicked men and wickedgovernments with a means of reachingvast numbers and using them for theirown wicked purposes.The remedy is not to abandon uni­versal education, but to make it trulyeducation, a process that aims tomake men better by . making themmore reasonable. The test of anyprogram that is labeled educational ishow much thought does it require ofthose who teach and those who learn.The subject may be important, likeinternational relations but if thecourse of study involves nothingbut the memory of conventions,treaties, and infractions thereof, it isnot an educational program. To say that we have universal education be­cause almost everybody has been toschool is to confuse the name withthe fact.Best educated in the world?Our forefathers who establisheduniversal education in America didso in the face of a demand for laborthat we have difficulty in imagining.Adam Smith, writing in 1776, saidthat the best investment a man couldmake in the colonies was to marry awidow with four children. It was aradical thing for Thomas Jefferson topropose that every child in Virginiashould have three years in the grades.Three years in the grades today, evenif they were very good years, wouldbe just enough to make a man a' sui t­able'victim for detective stories, comicstrips, slick-paper magazines, westernmovies, and Milton Berle. In factmost of the printed and broadcastmaterial in this country seems to beproduced for people who have hadonly three years, and not very goodones, in the grades. Meanwhile, theincreasing leisure of the population,which 'could mean that everybodycould be truly educated, has beendedicated to the consumption of thismaterial, plus such additional inspi­ration as may be obtained from thesecond-hand car and the local tavern-We no longer think that educationhas to be limited to three years, butwe still think of it as an affair forthe young. It is true that in thiscountry it is an affair for all theyoung. But the proposition that every­body should be educated while he isyoung has been accompanied by an­other, which is that not everybodycan be educated. How to educateeverybody while not educating every­body is a problem that has beensolved with true Yankee ingenuityby putting everybody in school, bykeeping him there for longer andlonger periods, saying that schoolingequals education and that, since oufpeople are in school longer than anYothers, they are the best educatedin the world.Chicago cannot educate youEducation is the improvement ofmen by improving their minds. Sinceall men have minds, they can all beeducated, though, since their minds:are different, they may be educatet}THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINBto different degrees. It is impossi­ble to believe that an education lim­ited to childhood and youth is ade­quate for any democratic society.The reason is that the knowledgethat the citizens of a democratic so­ciety need most cannot be fullygrasped in childhood and youth. Theymay, indeed they must, be introducedto these branches of knowledge; butthey cannot comprehend them. Thereis one great educational generaliza­_tion that I am prepared to assert with­out qualification, and that is that onecannot understand action without act­ing; one cannot learn to do anythingwithout doing it; and that since somesubjects, and they are some of themost important, require experience fortheir comprehension, they cannot becomprehended by the inexperienced. Among such subjects I include his­tory, ethics, economics, politics, andliterature. These subjects must bestudied in youth; but to study themin youth and never study them againis a fatal error, one of which we inAmerica have always been guilty andfor which we are paying the penaltynow in the adolescence of, our politicalreactions. Though everx�p.ing else Ihave said tonight ml'l,Y' vanish fromyour memory, I hopetyou will remem­ber one thing, that' I told you thefirst time we met that the Universityof Chicago could not educate you; itcould help you to begin your educa­tion, a process that must continue foryour entire lives.Prayer for peaceAnd now let us pray for peace.As Dante showed hundreds of years ago in his-book De Monarchla, warand the danger of war defeat the'object of human society, which is thedevelopment of the highest potential­ities of mankind. This object can beachieved only in peace. Since this isalso the object of education, war andeducation are incompatible. I do notglory in the part that this universitytook in the· last war. We can onlyregret that circumstances compelledus to divert this institution, like everyinstitution and every individual, fromits proper task to the production ofarms and the training of soldiers. Anarmed camp is not a human society;and a munitions factory cannot be auniversity. Let us pray for peace, inwhich you, your university, and yourcountry may struggle onward towardthe highest human goals.The College prepares you for the vocation of man.By "arts" it means those disciplines and habits whicheducated men need to live reasonably and wellBy F. Champion WardEditor's note: I n welcoming 600entering students to the College thisfall-the ninth group since the Col­lege reorganization in 1942-;Dean� ard did such a succinct and livelyJob of explaining what the Collegecurriculum covers, and why it does so,We urged a repeat performance, inprint, for alumni.ON OUR NEXT meeting-in1951, 1952, or 1953, as the casemay be-my purpose will be to helpbestow, and yours to receive, the de­gree of Bachelor of Arts. This may bethen, the last legitimate 'occasionupon which I may say something toYou about the concept of the bachelorof arts degree, in terms of which yourWork in the College will be ordered.And what are the arts?Obviously the surface meaning oft?e term "Bachelor of Arts" won't do,s�nce some. of you are already mar­fled and few of you will be taughtNOVE¥BER, 1950 to paint pictures or to write poemsduring "your stay here. By "arts," wemean ithose disciplines, habits, andspecial techniques which educatedmen and women should acquire andexercise if they are to live reasonablyand welL·' The courses in the Collegeare designed to help you acquire thosearts, and the comprehensive examina­tions are designed to measure yourcompetence in exercising them.No smorgasbord specialMoreover, we propose that you be­come in some degree a bachelor of allof the arts which are taught in theCollege. We do not spread a menuof optional courses of study beforeyou-the so-called "Smorgasbord cur­riculum"-and then offer to help' youto acquire only the special disciplinesproper to the course you choose. Webelieve that all choices worthy of thename should be based upon knowl­edge of all the possible alternatives involved and that one of the principaluses of your general education willbe precisely that of informing youas fully as possible about the, choiceof further acade-mic study or pre­professional training which most ofyou will some day make. In short, un­like most restaurants, we want youto have tasted all of the entrees be­fore you are forced to order yourdinner.The vocation of manHowever, the fact that the educa­tion you are now beginning in generalin nature does not mean that it is notvocational, also. The philosopherFichte entitled one of his books TheVocation of Man, and it is for thevocation of man, and not for the voca­tion of the butcher, baker, or candle­stick maker, that your work in theCollege should prepare you. As menand as citizens, we all face the sameproblems and responsibilities and live15At a wienie roast and sing, held in Hutchinson Court, new College students enjoy afireside chat with Dean Champion Ward. Later, they go on to Rockefeller Chapel, fora more formal welcome by Chancellor Hutchins.in the same troubled but interestingworld. In the atomic age, the verysurvival of individual vocations maydepend upon the extent to which thevocation of man can be defined andpursued together by free men. Thecurriculum of the College is an at­tempt to realize such a definition andto help you, as men and future cit­izens, to pursue your common calling. quire and to exercise those arts andspecial techniques by means of whichknowledge of the natural world isgained and tested.All men find themselves in a socialworld which is partially of humanmaking. Therefore, the three coursesin the social sciences invite you tostudy the ways in which social traitsand institutions have come into being,persisted · and altered through time,and have perished or been destroyed.But you will also study the extent,to which knowledge about society inthe possession of men in society mayalter the character of society. It maybe that the study of "what man hasWhat the courses coverAll men live in a natural worldwhich 'is not of human making.Therefore, in the courses in the natu­ral sciences, you are invited to ac- made of man" will teach us what mancan make of man.All- men find themselves in thepresence of works of art, which areessentially of human making. There­fore, the three courses in the human­.ities invite you to learn how differentkinds of works of art are constructedand to acquire those disciplines ofappreciation and interpretation where­by such works may be enjoyed andunderstood.Finally, whatever the particularobjects and problems to which theymay be addressed, all men face thenecessity of communicating their ex­perience and knowledge to one an­other. To meet this universal need,men have devised and employed manykinds of symbols. The courses in gen­eral and foreign language, in math­ematics, and in writing invite you toconsider the nature of symbols and tolearn their various uses. These useswill be seen to vary from the tech­nical formulation and extension ofscientific knowledge in mathematics tothe vivid, transmission of feelings inimaginative literature.When you have taken work in thenatural sciences, the social sciences,and the humanities, and when youhave acquired some skill in the useof symbols for expression, for com­munication, and for reasoning, therewill remain the question of the inter­relationships of the various fields ofknowledge and of the disciplined ac..,tivities of men. In your last year,therefore, the; .eourses in WesternHistory and' in Observation" Interpre­tation, andTntegration invite you toconsider the mutual relation's Of those'studies of; nature, ' society,' 'and art'which th� curriculum has up to thattime kept apart.

The Romanshad hurled them into the wells in146 B.C. when they sacked the city,sold the women and children intoslavery and killed the men.Corinthian nightlife, according tothe findings of Broneer,' centeredabout an open colonnade 80-feet wideand 500 feet long at the southern endof the market-place. Along the frontof the colonnade stood a row of 100bronze statues, the pedestals of whichWere found in the excavation.The 33 taverns in the rear of thecolonnade were built of stone cov­ered with fine stucco brightlypainted and equipped with a system ofPlumbing.The largest known non-religious�tructure of ancient Greece, the ruinsIndicate that the lower floor of eachtavern was divided into two 16-foot­square rooms. The front rooms hadwells 40 feet deep connected at thebottom with a channel of fresh run­ning water in which wine, meat andlbilk could be kept cool.NOVEMBER, 1950 Vase recovered from the front .room wellof a Corinthian tavern, by Dr. Broneer.The drinking cups found in theruins were dedicated to health, peace,love, and safety. One cup was evendedicated to the cure of hang-oversthrough the power of the spirit Pausi­krepalos!The dice found are six-sided' witheach side bearing the name of a godor spirit-Demeter, Zeus or Aphro­dite.From the ivory and bone flutes,which were found in the wells, archae­ologists believe the Corinthian girlsmust have circulated at the tablesof the tavern.The educated women of Corinth,the servants of Aphrodite or "sacredslaves" as they were called, weretrained' entertainers in the manner ofJapanese geisha girls.Atomic CalendarSANDALS, 3.00 pairs of skillfullywoven fiber shoes, date man's firstproved "existence in North America10,000 years ago. The sandals, found in Oregon andtested at the University .of Chicagofor their radioactive count, are amongthe hundreds of significant events inthe history of civilization dated on amaster "atomic calendar" preparedby atomic scientist, Willard F. Libby,and his' associate James R. Arnold,of the Institute for Nuclear Studies.On the calendar, Libby also datesthe Ice Age in the Middle West 12,-000 years ago rather than the 20,000years generally estimated by geolo­gists.Radioactive carbon (C 14), whichLibby demonstrated in 1947 was cre­ated in the upper atmosphere by cos­mic rays; is the basis for the dating.The rays' form the radio-active car­bon when they strike the nucleii ofnitrogen. Some of the carbon whichreaches the earth is absorbed throughfood and water by plants and animalsduring their' life time.Since the radioactivity is lost at aconstant rate (balf of it disappear­ing in 5,568 years) determination ofthe amount of radiocarbon in or­ganic remains provides an index tothe date. The method is accurate towithin approximately a hundredyears. Because all but a minuteamoun t of radiocarbon is gone after25,000 years, no object can be datedby the Libby' method beyond thatspan.Thus, ancient cypress wood froma swamp at Myrtle Beach, NorthCarolina, could be dated only as be-Willard Libby17ing "more than 20,000 years old." Ge­ologists estimate the age of the cy­press at approximately 200,000 years.To date the Ice Age, Libby deter­mined the age of spruce trees thatgrew in what today is known as theTwo Creeks, Wisconsin Forest Bed.During a phase of retreat of the NorthAmerican ice cap, the spruce treesflourished.When the climate again turnedcolder, the advancing ice cap moweddown the trees, which today arefound under a sheath of rubble, allpointing southwest. Dating of thetrees established the date of this lastadvance of the ice sheet.The fiber sandals, found in easternOregon, indicate man's existence inNorth America shortly after the gla­ciers receded.A fish weir, uncovered in Boyl­ston street, Boston, three years ago,is the oldest known evidence of hu­man life on the east coast. The weiris 5,000 years old.The age of revolution in man's de­velopment, when he turned fromhunting and food available in natureto agriculture, began at least 7,000years ago, according to Libby whodated shells excavated by the Ori­ental Institute at jarmo, Iraq, as ofthe period 5,000 B.C.Mexico was inhabited at least7,000 years ago, by people who pro:­duced crude carving and instruments.The famous Pyramid of the Sun,near Mexico City, of heaped up dirtwhich weighs as much as the greatpyramids of Egypt, was dated byLibby at 300 B.C. from organic sub­stances found in it.The temples of Mayan culture, atOaxaca, in southern Mexico, datedto 600 B.C.The volcanic explosion which . cre­ated Crater Lake, Oregon, l'*(5ccurred6,500 years ago, Libby found by an­alyzing remains of trees kill�;d by theflowing lava. 1�i'New X-raysMASS PHOTO-fluorography ofthe stomach and lower intes­tine, which will permit routine ex­amination for cancer and other dis­eases, has been brought close torealization by a University of Chicagophysicist.18 Robert S. MoonBrightness of images now producedon a fluoroscopic screen by X-ray hasbeen increased several hundred thou­sand times by the' device, . a new typeof apparatus originated by Robert J.Moon, assistant professor of physicsin the Institute of Radiobiology andBiophysics.Moon's device resulted from a cas­ual luricheo�' conversation severalyears. ago at the Quadrangle Clubwhen Moon and Dr. Paul C. Hodges,professor of radiology, were exchang-ing shop talk. Moon told of his work ona scanning electron microscope, usingfluorescing crystals. Dr. Hodges sug­gested the possibility of using such ascreen for fluoroscopy.The new method employs electronicmethods and a new principle of afluorescent crystal. The improvedbrightness of the image on the screenit produces is obtained with less thana hundredth of the present unde­sirably heavy concentration of X-raysnow required to get an unsatisfactoryimage.A finely focused beam of electrons,supplied by a television-type electrongun, is secured by the method. Thebeam scans a target of tantalum foil.Some electrons are transformed intoX-rays, and about one in 10,000 passthrough the foil, a minute hole inthe tube focusing them on the objectto be X-rayed. When the rays have passed through-the object, they strike a single flu­orescent crystal of calcium fluoride.The crystal transforms the X-rays tobursts of ultraviolet rays. This pat­tern is picked up by a photomultipliertube which, increases the strength ofthe signal many thousand fold. Nextthe signals are transmitted to a kine­scope viewing tube of the kind whichforms the screen of a television set.Two screens are now employed.One is instantaneous, and has a flick­er because of the relatively small num­ber of X-rays which reach the screen.A second screen, which gives a slow­motion effect and a more stableimage, is provided in the presentmodel but will be discarded if ahigher power water-cooled tube, nowunder construction," successfully elim­inates flicker of the instantaneousscreen,; For teaching purposes, it is possi­ble to provide multiple screens. Mo­tion pictures also can be taken of theimage. The practice of setting bonesunder the fluoroscope, abandonedboth because of the faint image ob­tained, and the dangerous exposure of'the orthopedist, may become feasi-:ble when the device is perfected. -Northern LightsIN THE LAST fiery display of'northern lights-one of the mostspectacular in years-a University ofChicago astronomer discovered thathydrogen gas bombards the earthfrom the sun.A.

It is asorry commentary upon higher educa­tion in our country' that the admis­sions offices of many colleges applythe dual standards of religion andrace, as well as the necessary criteriaof scholarship and character.One of the most shocking-andleast 'considered-aspects of discrim­ination in higher education is eco­nomic. Indeed, far more has beensaid and done about the barriers ofthe color line and religious prejudicesthan about the insurmountable bar- By Robert M. StrozierDean of Students21 per cent whose fathers were farm­ers or workers; and that a higherpercentage of the first" group wereadmitted than' the latter.The University of Chicago standsin the forefront of those universitieswhich 'have effectively abandoned allracial and religious discriminatorypractices. But one of the', cold, hardfacts that private schools : everywheremust now face is the sharp increasein their operating costs, with the re­sult that the price of education hasalso sharply risen. The University ofChicago is no exception to this rule.It is true that we are one of themore fortunate private schools, with astrong and expanding scholarship andNot only factors of race and religion bar the way to college forcapable American students.' The economic barriers are just as high.riers imposed' by limited financial re­sources. Floyd Reeves, of our' De­partment of Education, presented avery tellirig paper recently to a con­ference on discrimination in educationsponsored by . the American Councilon Education and the B'nai B'rith.Who goes to college?He pointed out that about one thirdof the children in this country undereighteen are members of families withtotal annual incomes of less than$2,000; one half come from familieswhose incomes are less than $2,500;.and three fourths come from familieswhich earn less than $3,500 a year.An American Council study showsthat 73 per cent of the youth whosefathers were professional men or ex­ecutives applied for admission to col­leges in 1947, compared with only20 fellowship program, and with a largeloan fund available for students andfaculty members. But as an increas­ing number of G. 1. Bill benefits hasbeen totally used, the number offinancial need cases passing over mydesk has skyrocketed.What about working?In the halcyon days of my careeras a student,' one ready answer tothe financial problem was to workone's way through college. In thesetumultuous days, this no longer is 'awholly satisfactory answer. Part-timejobs are not easy to find, and fewof them pay enough to compensatefor the increased tuition charges andcosts of text books. And it is afact that part-time laboring does de­tract from the . student's ability tostudy. The process of education is becom­ing more demanding ; . many of our.students, .delayed by one war, areanxiously striving'to complete an edu­cation before becoming involved inanother. (Many have already becomeinvolved, with a second interruptionof their education.) Our students. a��older, with families of their own, har­boring the natural tensions created byalready pathetically delayed careers.I write of these things as we pre­pare for another academic year, be­cause as chairman of the Scholarshipand Fellowship Committee of theUniversity, and as administrator afthe student loan funds, I am keenlyaware of how many young ambitionsare thwarted for want of money fareducation; I know how many good,young scholars are denied study atthe University of Chicago for wantof the necessary dollars. This needis really worthy of consideration bythe University's alumni and friends.Three fi�e gesturesThree very touching incidents whichoccurred recently are heartening, andshow that our friends and alumni areaware of this problem. One morningrecently a kindly. gentleman, whOidentified himself as A. S. Loomer afthe class of 1910, called at my office.He said that he had recently retired!from his teaching duties in Sacramerrto, California, and that he was visit­ing relatives, old friends, and, afcourse, his Alma Mater. Mr. Loomertold me of his student days, of havingworked at the Commons to helppay his expenses, and that the Uni­versity had given him tuition scholar'ships most of the time he was here.Now, he said, he wanted to dosomething for worthy young boys andgirls, and he was seeking advice aballt.THE, UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZIN'Phow to include the University in awill which he was to draw up nextmonth. We paid a visit to HowardMoore, the University lawyer, whogave the necessary legal advice quicklyand graciously. (he had even preparedthe form which people use to includethe University in their wills).Then I took Mr. Loomer to meetBernie Loomer, Dean of the FederatedTheological F aculties ( no rela ti ve ) ,and on to the Commons for lunch.Mr. Loomer's only great shock camewhen he saw women in the line at theCommons. He could hardly believethat such a revolution had taken placeat the University-and without blood­shed! When we visited the QuadClub, Howard Mort terminated acanasta game to complete Mr. Loom­er's visit.GI benefitsOnly a few days later, I receiveda telephone call from a much youngeralumnus whom I had met last year ata dinner. This man, who prefers. toremain anonymous, told me that heWas eligible to receive a paymentfrom. the Stateof Illinois as a veteran <of World War II. He had not beeninclined to apply for the money, butWhen Mr. Hutchins and members ofthe faculty were .forced to go toSpringfield last spring, he decided that give it to the University for a goodpurpose. He had now received hischeck, and he had called to tell methat he would provide a tuition schol­arship for a deserving young man orwoman this year.The third incident concerns ayoung Negro boy from Americus, their wives, is enormous, but happyGeorgia.

It has to learnto assign the objects it discovers tochronological periods; it has to pre­pare the glossaries and the diction­aries needed to read the texts; it hasto develop the first principles for thecomprehension of the social, religious,artistic and literary forms of ancientorien tal self -expression.Only an understanding of the na­ture and function of research suffi­Ciently enlightened to recognize theVast demands which the materialJt­self makes upon its discoverers canbe sure to obtain the end result thatjustifies the entire process.NOVEMBER, 1950 Recreating from dustIn its total effect the work of theOriental Institute is essentially cre­ative. It creates out of the founda­tions in the dust the world that hasbeen. In that process it recreates theexperiences of individuals, generationsand races of other days and providesthe occasion' for those experiences toenrich the lives of modern men andwomen, giving' them perspective upontheir own and others' efforts to maketheir lives worthwhile.In that process also it holds up be­fore a world that seeks its own satis­faction in achievement, those products'of an earlier day that are still intelligi­ble to us as expressions of high as­piration, of supreme devotion and ofthe finest aesthetic, intellectual andmoral discrimination. Thus it providesa. "touchstone" for that which enduresand which, outlasting any particularculture, belongs to the indestructiblecore of human civilization. The things which abideJust because we live in an AtomicAge and are ourselves of an AtomicAge, we need that contact with thethings that abide. Here is not onlyrelease from the anxieties of the mo­ment but here are also the thingsfor which it, is worth our whilestriving, that at least they, if notwe, may endure.Chicago may be destroyed beforethe crisis of the A tomie Age haspassed and all of us must do all wecan to avert and to counteract sucha catastrophe. Yet the Oriental Insti­tute is confident that it could do nogreater service to the University, andto the world at large, than to continueto devote itself to the fuller under­standing of man's lasting achieve­ments, for the strengthening of ourown sense of worth and for the en­noblement of whatever the futurewill be.23CLASS1892John B.

While the people on the screen moved theirlips in silence, a man's deep voice cut in and asked,"Is there a doctor in the theatre? If there is, will heplease come to the manager's office right away?"A tall young man arose in the semi-darkness of thetheatre and began edging his way toward the aisle.Bart Fisher watched him go up the aisle with long,swift strides. His wife leaned toward him and whis­pered, "Wasn't that yoyng Alfred Barnes?"Bart nodded. "Probably his first movie in months."The voices came back to the screen, and the audiencerustled for a moment and then settled back to listen.It was .\1 good movie, but now Bart's mind waswandering fa-r from the screen. He was thinking ofAlfred Barnes-and wondering, as no doubt othersin the audience were-what emergency 'had calledhim to the back of the theatre. A heart attack ... afainting spell ... an accident ... these things happen.It was/fortunate that young Barnes was there ...And yet it was something more than "fortune"tha t had let the boy realize his am hi tions to be aphysician in the first place. Bart smiled to himself ashe recalled how seriously the lad had spoken of his"career in medicine" the first time he stopped at theBarnes home to talk about insurance. Tl\e boy wasonly about fourteen, then, and ,his father 'was partlyamused at his seriousness-and partly -proud, too.And hehad the foresight to back up the boy's planswith a New York Life policy, just in case ...In the half-darkness of the theatre, Bart noddedthoughtfully. Yes, he decided, it was a wonderful ex-ample of life insurance at work ora father helpinghis son attain his ambitions of one generationhelping the next go a little higher, do a little betterin life. . . .The picture was over, and the theatre lights grewbright. As Bart reached over to help his wife put onher coat she said, "How did you like the story?"He shook his head and smiled. "I .really wasn'tpaying too much attention. I've been enjoyinganother one." Then he chuckled and said, "Even hada small part in it myself!"NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY51 Madison Avenue, New York 10, N.
