lMAGAZI N EBell's Liquid Transmitterand Tuned Reed Receiver,March, 1876.Suppose the telephone had never been inventedHave you ever thought what theworld and your life would be likewithout the telephone?If you wanted to talk to relativesor friends - if you wanted to orderfrom a store - if you needed to sum­mon a doctor or a policeman in anemergency - there would be no wayyou could do it in a hurry. What now takes only a few seconds or minuteswould often take hours and cost youfar more than a telephone call.Each year the telephone becomesmore useful to the people and morevital to the prosperity and securityof the Nation. Today's tremendousjob of production and defense couldnot be carried on without it. There are twice as many Bell tele­phones as there were only ten yearsago. They are here and ready be�cause the Bell System kept right 011building and improving to meet thecountry's needs.Never in the history of the tekphone has it been so valuable to sOmany people as tight now.BELL TELEPHONE SYSTEM @�ITEI)(.��l';AIUtnni open housei 'Within a few days the 20,000 alumnitil. the Chicago area will receive invitationsnO the annual Mid-Year Reunion on thelUadrangles, Sunday, March 18th.R The program is most attractive with theatOU�d Table broadcast from Mandel Hallc] hlgh noon, dinner at the Quadrangle] ub and Hutchinson Commons, and thenf2 afternoon, back-stage University toursrom which to choose.b All tours must be limited to the num­lers who can be accommodated in the�boratories and departments visited.

They can't quite fathom what'shappened to the cold banquet room,chicken patties, the isolated speaker's tableand the rush-for-home adjournment.This, they say with satisfaction, trans­cends those dread days when a club presi­dent arranged with a cheap restaurant fora dollar dinner, notified headquarters tosend out announcements, and forgot thewhole thing until he arrived ten minuteslate for the dinner and a handful of duty­compelled alumni sat at a long, lonesometable set on saw horses.Here are samples of the new day in clubmeetings:San Francisco entertained Dean WilliamScott at a cocktail party in a lounge ofthe Marine Club. After an informal talkthe meeting adjourned, some to returnhome for dinner, others to join in socialgroups for dinner in the Marine Clubdining room, where arrangements had beenmade for those who wished to remain.Dean Scott also appeared on a local radiointerview program, arranged" by live wireclub officers.Seattle had a local Great Books teamdemonstrate at a club dinner, a refreshingvariation to the set dinner speech.Bloomington (Illinois) met in the at­tractive faculty lounge of Illinois Wes­leyan for a social evening with laterefreshments. Dean John R. Davey was theguest from campus. He sat in an easy-chaircircle and told the fascinating story ofthe growth of the new College plan.Denver was host to Vice President Law­rence Kimpton, meeting in the home ofone of the members instead of a restau­rant.Washington, D. C., sidestepped a set speech by Dean William Scott to substitutea round table discussion in which recentCollege graduates put the dean to answer­ing questions about the changes on theMidway since their day.The Dallas Club has been reactivatedby two hustling young business men, IraCorn, '47, MBA '48, and Euerett George,'36. The club entertained President andMrs. Ernest Colwell with a cocktail hourfollowed by a dinner in the private Down­town Club on February 10th. They alsoarranged for him to appear on televisionduring his visit.New membership highIn the past four months membershiphas gone from 8,200 to 9,700, a brand newrecord in the history of the Alumni As­sociation. This is. due largely to an effec­tive membership promotion last fall.The figure will probably drop off a fewhundred by June because there are alwaysthose who do not renew for various goodreasons. And we will do no further pro­motion until fall because of the springAlumni fund campaign.However, an encouraging trend is thehigh percentage of renewals. We attributethis to the much improved Magazine underthe editorship of Laura Bergquist with theintelligent assistance of Ann Collar, andprofessional suggestions by Otto M. For­kert, a top flight magazine designer re­sponsible for our new cover and improvedtopography.Never before has the Magazine consist­ently carried so many original articles byauthorities. These have attracted a heavymail and the attention of people beyondthe alumni circle. In some instances therights to republish in such national maga­zines as Science Digest have been grantedand the State Department has been givenpermission to air our materials in overseasbroadcasts. House organs frequently pickup articles from both the Magazine andTower Topics and requests for reprintsof certain features have often run into thehundreds.�EEI( END FOR ALUMNI COUNSELORS.

The, award was presentedto him by Dr. Percy Julian, who waschosen in 1949 for his research withcortisone.Mr. Hutchins acknowledged his selec­tion in a typically urbane manner. Hepointed out that, although he had livedin the city for more than 20 years, it wasonly as he was about to leave that hewas chosen its top citizen.

Theinternship at Billings is one of the bestand before one can become an intern therehe must have that "M.D." which entitleshim to the distinction of being calleddoctor. Too many lay people have the im­pression such as yours that an intern isnot a "doctor" and such "slips of the pen"as you committed simply tends to per­petuate this misimpression.Ofttimes we wonder if we were correct inour choice of profession. It is true that ap.preciation for the interest that we take inany particular patient and the long hourswe may worry over one patient's conditionmay go unheralded, but some of us thinkthat the even slight implication of respectthat goes along with the title "doctor" helpsa bit.Just ask any of the interns at Billings"are you an interne or are you a doctor?"and see what answers you get.

They have littlellhe--too little perhaps-to reflectabout the name and nature of God,Or .the proper form of worship. TheadJura tion of Alexander Pope mightbe their guiding motto:((K now then thyself, presumenot God to scan ;The proper study of mankindis M an."As individuals, psychiatrists growup in various religious traditions andWe tend to continue in them. OurParents of differing origins taught usth .rn elr forms of acknowledging the greatysteries-as. well as they could re­Pheat, restate and perhaps elaboratet e instructions handed on by theirParents, and so on back. The formsWe .follow vary greatly. For some, this�hrlance is. distressing and improper;ey conceive of a standard and uni­;ersa1 form, "the one true Church."Or others, this idea itself is absurd�d unsatisfying. I am often .re­delnded of a remark made to me by aI'vout Catholic colleague as wel.stened to a patient singing at a re­h1tal held in the wards of a psychiatric'OSpital. "In how many different waysPeople pray!" he remarked quietly, asWe walked back to my 'office.Prayer and its powersPrayer might be defined as com­�l.l.nication directed to God. If oneeheves in the existence of God, the��estion of communication between. Ilh and His creations becomes anlllJ..po t' h' �Grant Issue. T e existence of aod need not necessarily mean that�: can communicate with him, butllJ.1s seems to be assumed in most for­al religious beliefs.If I were asked, fo/ example, as a:hlhPle scientist and psychiatrist whe-11 er Or not I believe in prayer, I couldOt make a conscientious answer with­Out ti I .b s IpU atmg that the question beatten into various parts.

The analyst is comparable toSt. George, whose mission it was to slay the dragon;the minister to Galahad, who sought the Holy Grailexists?" I could answer easily, Y es­for me, and for many others. If Iwere then asked, "Do you believe thatthe prayers of men are heard byGod?" I could answer in the affirma­tive because my conception of God issuch that everything reaches Him. IfI were asked "Do you believe thatGod answers prayers?" I could answeraffirmatively, but this would not meanthat I always agree with what is onthe mind of the questioner.Sir Francis - Galton, an ingeniouslyenquiring scientist of the last century,made a study called "The ObjectiveEfficacy of Prayer." By tallying themean age attained by males of vari­ous classes-clergy, lawyers, doctors,tradesmen, etc. (during the latter partof the 18th century)-he proved thatalthough probably more prayers hadbeen uttererd by more people for pro­longing the lives of the British rulers(becauseit is in the Book of CommonPrayer of the Episcopal church),these sovereigns were actually, on theaverage, the shortest lived of allclasses! This proved conclusively, saidGalton, that prayer has no efficacy. Itactually proved nothirig of the kind,but it does illustrate the difference inopinion which exists about what "an­swering" means.The effect of prayer upon God canscarcely be investigated, but the effectof prayer upon those who offer it canbe the subject of scientific research.A psychiatrist, Samuel W. Hartwell,suggests that prayer may be a verytherapeutic experience, because itenables people to verbalize certain in- trospective reflections and half-con­scious wishes under circumstances ofintimacy and trust which rarely pre­vail in interpersonal relationships.Seem to believe .. ,.I once asked Chaplain Robert Pres­ton of our Winter VA Hospital totell me, from observing hundreds ofpsychiatrists at work, what he couldconclude about our religiousness."What do psychiatrists believe?" Iasked him. "We don't come to yourservices very often; you don't hearour devotions. What do our lives seemto you to indicate?"He thought about it, and thenwrote me this:"You seem to have a belief in theimportance and the dignity of the in­dividual human being. It is an as­sumption, of course, which you seemto make with a dedicated faith, thatevery individual is worth helping. Youseem to believe that each individualhas capacities for being destructive,and capacities for being constructiveand creative. You seem tofeel that itis possible for another human beinglike yourselves, granted an under­standing of the particular problemsand mechanisms of this individual, toguide him in the direction of construc­tiveness and away from destructive­ness.

This requiresa disciplined honesty in seeking the5In the spacious 30 by 18 foot living room of Robie House hung paintings-ranging fromthe most abstract through realistic including Fred Nagler's "Madonna and Child," FredMeyer's "Magi" and Cecile Belle's "Hurry, Shepherd," which had just been reproducedin "Time" Magazine. In the foreground is a bronze sculpture "Pieta" by Egon Weinerof the' Chicago Art Institute.real sources of trouble, and impliesthat health demands tru thfulnesswithin the self."Concerning society you seem tobelieve that human beings are inter­dependent, more deeply and cruciallythan most people realize. The mea-sure of an individual's health is linkedin your concept with his level of use­fulness in carrying out his own respon­sibilities and contributing to the wel­fare of others."You are more keenly aware thanmost people of the influence of groupsupon the individual because you seein the mental hospital the personswho have been broken by, or at leastnot helped by, social ins'titutions­domestic; economic, educational, andreligious. Sometimes you observe thatthe teaching of religion has affectedindividuals in ways which were notin tended by the teacher or by the re­ligious leader. Surrounded by the ex­tremes of tragedy, dwelling with thevictims of disillusionment and self­destructiveness, you are constantly im­pressed with the deceptiveness ofsuperficial words and superficial ex­planations. It leads you to a feelingthat there may be praise with thelips while the heart is far away, andhence, that if 'faith is the substanceof things hoped for, the evidence ofthings not seen,' it must be made as6 substantial as possible."In this beautiful, and I trust truth­ful, appraisal of the work of the psy­chiatrist, you will note that ChaplainPreston says "you seem to believe."He means that psychiatrists act incertain ways which imply (to him)that they possess such beliefs. "Bytheir fruits ye shall know them."This leads us to consider behaviorrelated to religious feelings and con­victions as it is interpreted by psychi­atry. Such behavior falls into twocategories: Behavior with referenceto our fellow human beings, whichinvolves "morals", and behavior withreference to God, or "worship.""] fl"ant not a genu ector. . .Worship may be private or public,or both. Perhaps we should agree thatit must be consciously and thought­fully done to be considered worship,whether public or private. There arepsychiatrists who do not formally wor­ship in any way. There are some whofeel that their attitude toward theirGod, in whatever form they envisagehim, is a matter for private and inti­mate contemplation only.

I wastempted to do so because I feel thatif we psychiatrists-or some of us­give an earnest man of God to believethat instead of fighting evil we areallied to it and exploiting our profes­sional roles to further it, we shouldnot remain silent. Nor can we passoff such calumny as just the ignoranceof a bigoted and unrepresentativepriest. I did not answer the chargesthen, although some of my colleaguesdid. But I shall answer some of themnow.For such misunderstanding and sus­picion of psychiatry is very wide­spread. It exists even among intelli­gent men and in high places. I knowthis' well because for 30 years I havebeen listening to patients and theirrelatives and ministers, and trying toexplain to them why and how theirsuffering arises. I know how confusionand prejudice complicates their dis­tress. In the words of the famoushymn, I know "what needless painthey bear."This misunderstanding largely stemsfrom the fact that mental illness haslong been a mystery. I t is enormouslyprevalent-more so than all other forms of sickness combined. Everypriest, pastor, and rabbi spends a con­siderable share of his time, I am sure,listening to parishioners who sufferrecognized or unrecognized mentalillness. Clergymen, more than most. people, are aware of the vast extentof misery and suffering in the world.They and the psychiatrists are to­gether in this. Like the psychiatrist,the minister feels impelled to do some­thing to diminish this suffering, notonly by advice but by proclaiming bet­ter principles of living. In his sermonshe endeavors to hold out hope, com­fort, encouragement, and reassuranceto his congregation and the manypeople in it who need this help. Mean­while, the psychiatrists are spendingtheir days listening, comforting, cor­recting, and reassuring.Light in the darknessFor the mystery of mental illnesshas begun to yield to science. It be­gan with Freud's discovery that mostpsychological processes are not con­scious ones-that there is a vast or­ganization of mental functioning ofwhich our conscious experiences areonly a small part. Actually this is nomore novel than the discovery mademany centuries ago that there wereinternal organs and internal physio­logical processes not visible in the hu­man body. Just as the dissecting scal­pel, the' microscope, the X-ray, thesphygnomanometer, the electroen­cephalogram, and many other techni­cal devices now enable us to lookThis creche or manger scene, done as a wire mobile by Renard Koehneman, somewhatpuzzled the public but most visitors pronounced it "charming."7Another controversial item in the show was a 16-foot stainedglass window, loaned by the Campbell Memorial Chapel of St.Louis, Mo.-a crazy quilt of brown and hlues, representing thedivisions of Cristendorn, slashed into quarters by a cross andcrucifix of flame, and peopled with figures symbolizing den om- inations and social groups-St. Francis, Luther, Calvin, Tho)11asCampbell, scientist, Negro and Jewish Angels.

These methods of looking,moreover, have provided us withmethods for changing the patterns.The study of personality on thisgrander and more inclusive scale isreally the basic' content of modernpsychoanalysis and modern psychia­try. It is the basis of our therapeuticprogram.Too much personality molding?This function of the psychiatrists un­derstandably alarms some clergymenfor it seems to place too much respon­sibility for personality molding in thehands of the psychiatrists. We havelong since been accustomed to relin­quishing the personality-molding ofour children to underpaid, and oftenpoorly-trained school teachers; we donot doubt the qualifications of thesurgeon who may remodel our bodies.8 But psychiatrists remain suspect. Thisis particularly true in the case of psy­choanalytic therapy used by the psy­chiatrists, which is based on the prin­ciple that full self knowledge permitsbetter self realization. "Ye shall knowthe truth and the truth shall makeyou free." Some clergymen view suchindividual freedom, such greaterknowledge, as dangerous.'What an analyst doesn't doI commend a most excellent articleby Lois Perry Jones in a little maga­zine .called Life Today, (December,1950) .which accurately points out"What a Psychoanalyst Doesn't Do!"·1. He doesn't use bristling Freud­ian terms in talking to hispatient.2. He doesn't dispense sympathyin the form of sympathizing.3. He doesn't insist on changes inthe patient's environment orhabits; indeed, he does insistthat until the analysis is com­pleted no radical changes bemade. .4. He doesn't make decisions forhis patient. 5. He does not remove his patient'Sconflicts.6. The psychoanalyst doesn't makehis patients perfect.7. He doesn't make his patientShappy.8. Indeed, strictly speaking, th�analyst doesn't cure his patientS,he helps them to cure therP-selves.By .helping his patients to underdstand the truth about themselves antheir environment, he enables them tochoose more wisely and hence morenearly determine their own destinY,to decide what they really want most,and hence what their life shall be'like - within limits - achievingthrough love and work and play thedesired goal.Escapism?I should like to illustrate some ofthc critical pronouncements frequent­ly made about psychiatry which act�­ally serve to show up the speaker Signorance. tOne critic says, for example, thapsychoanalysis is a form of escapisrtl·This is correct, if the verb is beTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINBChanged to may be.

From certain thingsere IS no escape, but a good psycho­:,nalyst will point that o�t to his pa­lent with just as much honesty, deft­ness and clarity as will a priest orrabbi.Glosses over guilt?. A.nother charge against psychoanal­YSIS is that it "fails to relieve the un­reSolved sense of guilt of sin." ThisStatement is no charge at all.

For sucha symptom, psychoanalysis offers re­lief where the church cannot. If aman' has horsewhipped his children,I am sure that no psychoanalyst wantsto see him absolved or relieved froma sense of guilt in any way other thanthat prescribed by law and concurredin by the church. On the other hand,if a man imagines that he has causedthe death of someone in China byThese beautiful crosses by lise Von Drage,one of the outstanding silver craftsmen inAmerica, were great favorites.remote control, or if someone feelsguilty to the point of suicide becausein the morning he stepped over thethreshold on his right foot instead ofthe left, then I think there is no doubtabout whether he should be offeredrelief by a priest or a psychoanalyst.Favors promiscuity?There is another common charge and assumption-that psychoanalystsfavor sexual promiscuity and thatthey encourage people not to haveany sense of guilt about it. This is alie, a dishonest slander, a canard, anda misrepresentation of facts. Thosewho repeat it are ignorantly or de­liberately contributing to the viciousdissemination of false information.Freud refuted this charge nearly 50years ago and no honest and informedperson can today allege it. Psycho­analysts do not. favor promiscuity;they do not encourage it, nor do theyattempt to relieve a patient's guiltabout it. Quite the reverse, most ofthem spend hours and hours attempt­ing to relieve patients from the com­pulsive feeling of need for these very"immoralities."One might ask, what keeps alivethis common, but vicious, misconcep­tion? I think the answer is easy .Parents necessarily must restrict thesexual life of their growing children,and sometimes they do so in crudeand harmful ways. Sooner or laterthe instincts of the child bring himinto conflict with the code of societyand he reacts to his parental experi­ence in one of several ways. An un­healthy one is by complete inhibitionof his sexuality which, if continuedthroughout life, means that he de­velops an abnormal personality. Neu­roticism, impotence, homosexualpropensities and other sexual irregu­larities may be substituted for normalsexual adjustment. Many people cometo psychiatrists because of inhibitionsin their sexual life which result froma feeling that any kind of sexual activ­i ty is wrong, even normal sexual re­lations with a spouse.It is not sufficient to tell such In­dividuals that this is incorrect; theyhave been told so in a thousand ways,but they cannot believe it. In psycho­analysis they do lose an inappropriateand abnormal sense of guilt attachedto sex in general; they discover thatsex is not the evil thing which theyhave considered it to be but a pur­posive life function. In ·their suddenjoy at such a discovery, some patientsby word of mouth or even deed, tryto indicate that they no longer havethe crippling inhibitions 'which haveruined their li�es. But their socialerrors no more indicate that psycho­analysis is sinful than the sins of cer­tain Catholics mean the wickedness(Continued on page 27)9IN SEARCH by Meyer Levin, '24,Author's Press. 5.24 pp. $3.75.How free is the American Press? Howhonest are American book publishers?What seems to me to be a shocking lackof editorial courage has been dramatized byMeyer Levin's long fight to get his auto­biography published in America. Levin'strouble seems to be that he insists uponkeeping the commandment, "Thou shaltnot bear false witness." Severe with otherswho have failed his generation, Meyer isequally severe with himself.. The result isa confession as startling as Rousseau's al­most as frank as Boswell's private papers,and as full of fissionable atoms as anA-bomb.Levin's search began back in Chicagowhen, as a cub reporter, he took over BenHecht's old job as front-page feature writerfor the Chicago Daily News in the clayswhen John Gunther, Carl Sandburg anda dozen writers nearly as famous were onthe staff. When I took over Levin's assign­ment, he went to join his struggling co­religionists in Palestine, moved on tocover three wars, wrote novels praised byDreiser, Hemingway and most of the crit­ics, and wound up behind the eight ballwith an autobiography everyone praisedand no one would publish.What were the publishers afraid of?For one thing, Levin is perhaps unjustto one of his previous publishers. For an­other, the owner of several powerful maga­zines comes out of this detailed exposurelooking less than gallant.. For a third, sev­eral racial and religious minorities, whohave become accustomed to having theiractivities reported with tender regard forneurotic sensibilities, are here treated likeordinary citizens.Levin is of the highly commendableopinion that no. one (including himself)is above criticism. Neither the Loyalistsnor the Franco-lovers wil thank him for hisreport on the Communist-Fascist strugglefor control of Spain. His book will stir upa small whirlwind in Israel. It will startbitter arguments in New York, Chicagoand HoIlywood.But I think any fair minded reader willconcede that the purpose of this autobiog­raphy is not attack for the joy of attacking.Rather it is an almost painfully candid at­tempt to review the last 45 years of chaos-to see the world clearly and to see itwhole.10 Meanwhile, even for those who do notagree with Levin's politics, philosophy, orracial and religious views, "In Search" isexcellent reporting. This veteran newspa­perman makes events vivid, whether cov­ering the Republic Steel strike, the front­line action in the break-through at St. La,or the street fighting between Arabs andJews in Palestine.Some readers may be shocked by hisadmission that he hoped to take personalphysical revenge upon the Germans for thecrimes committed against hrs fellow-Jews.But when they have seen the concentrationcamps through his eyes, they will be morelikely to understand.His experiences as a Chicago slum child,as a University of Chicago student, as amagazine writer and as a war correspond­ent are all part of the larger pattern of anhonest man seeking his own identity.At the end of this book he has satisfiedin his own mind the problem of "duallovalties." He is more tolerant, more atease with himself and the world as he fin­ishes this book than when he began it. Thewriting seems to have furnished whatAristotle called katharsis - a cleansingthrough terror."In Search" is not recommended forreaders who are excessively squeamish.. norfor those with such hardened 'prejudicesthat they cannot, for the space of a fewhours, see the world througn fresh eyes. Itis recommended, however, for all thosewho, like Meyer Levin, are eag'er to under­stand themselves and the incredibly com­plex civilization in which we all Jive._ Sterling NorthEditor's Note: This review is reprintedfrom. the Washington Post.NORTH OF MANHATTAN, hyHarry Hansen, 'O�.

Since they�.ere inner directed, the struggle whichlvl�tu.rbed their integration took placeij'lthl11 themselves.

Greaterattention has been paid to the ego's de­fensive mechanism, and its ability or in­ability to master the tasks presented notonly from the inside but also from theoutside. But these efforts have been seri­ously handicapped because by and largeno new conceptual framework has emerged.Riesman's new concepts form a major con­tribution towards filling this gap. Histhree main concepts of the tradition­directed, the inner-directed, and the other­directed person are a real contributionto typology, but what is more importantthey allow for a better understanding ofthe functions of the ego as they are devotedto establishinig and maintaining relationswith others. Such new conceptualizationsof the individual's relation to his socialenvironment open up new perspectives andin various directions. That, it seems tome, is why this book is so rich in newideas, some of them immediately con­vincing, others evoking enough' new asso-Riesmanciations in the reader to enlarge hishorizon.Another new concept also promises. tobe a major aid toward understandingpresent day behavior. It is the appositionof the "gyroscopic" maintenance of a once­set course, characteristic of the inner­directed person, and the course whichcharacterizes the other-directed person whosteers his ever-changing course by meansof a radar-like apparatus that sends andreceives new impulses continuously. Formore details I must again refer the readerto The Lonely Crowd. But I would likeat least to mention this: so many middleclass individuals of today, according toRiesman, are indeed lonely in a crowdbecause their gyroscopically-set course­suitable for another generation-no longersatisfies them, while they have not yetdeveloped the ability to change their anti­quated gyroscopes for the more modernradar.Every really human document is charac­teristic of its creator and his time, and inthis' sense Riesman himself seems to becaught in an ambiguity. He recognizesthat only a radar- or other-directed manwho has also achieved autonomy will beable to do justice to himself and to thissociety, will today not be lonely in acrowd, But Riesman's own upbringing, his own place in time and society, forceshim to be ambivalent, at one momentpreferring the radar-, other-directed per­sonality, at another attached by sentimentto the gyroscope which his parents, inner­directed people, have implanted in. him.No title could more accurately describethe psychological and social situation inwhich we find ourselves than The LonelvCrowd. But let's recognize it. Because weare no longer wholly inner-directed wefeel lonely, and thus do the others appearas a crowd. The fully other-directed andautonomous person would truly be at homewith what to Riesman and me is a crowd.It is impossible to do justice to thisbook in one reading, or in one review.Therefore, given this reviewer's interest ineducational psychology, and the tearingof children, I mav he excused in the selec­tion of two examples showing the variedwealth of thought in this book. Riesmau'sdiscussion of Tootle the Engine as- a mod­ern cautionary tale is a classic exampleof how one ought to go about analyzingthe reading material we present to ourchildren, and how it will affect them. Heshows how, in this story, adult societyenters into a conspiracy to prevent theindividual from developing his OWn per­sonality so that he may develop the kindsociety wishes him to. In an inner-directedsociety the child would be encouraged.though cautionary tales, to develop his ownpersonality as he sees fit and, if necessaryto set it against society with a "Here Istand, I cannot do otherwise, God hel Pme." But this inner voice of consciencein the inner-directed personality is ex­changed in the other-directed society, forthe signals of the peer group. We ask thechild that he consider foremost, in whathe does or tries to do, not his innerconscience but what is fair to the group.01'.1 should say, this demand for fair­ness-not to himself but to the peer group-is his conscience. He should act in con­sideration of the group's interest.At the same time, however; we hold outto him the image of becoming a leader.Everybody should be a leader and nobodyshould fail in society (or in school), andnobody ever does in the stories we tellour children. Every little Tootle will be­come a Streamliner. But who will wemay ask then 'carry the freight? Andwhere is it we are going to in such ahurry? The result of this simultaneousdesire for leadership and cooperation, astaught in our cautionary tales, results, ac­cording to Riesman, in that "antagonis­tic cooperation" which characterizes themodern business world instead of true co­operation, and perhaps. not only the fac­tories but the faculties. The older patternof individual self realization on the otherhand, now makes us lonely, although welive in a crowd.The nursery rhymes we tell our childrepresent our first efforts to start him onhis way toward fitting himself into society.They and all the later stories we tell him,are expected to guide our children on theirway. But Riesman shows how our societyhas changed so much that what thenursery rhymes teach is no longer true tofact. We thus confuse our children fromthe very beginning and prepare them forliving in a society which no longer exists.I might therefore end by quoting Riesmanon the little pigs who went to market."We may mark the change by citing anold nursery rhyme," he says:"This little pig went to market;This little pig stayed at home.This little pig had roast beef;This little pig had none.11This little pig went wee-wee-weeAll, the way home.""The rhyme may be taken as a modelof individuation and unsocialized behavioramong children of an earlier era. Today,however, all little pigs go to market; nonestay home; all have roast beef, if any do;and all say 'we-we'"Bruno Bettelheim,Director.

Smith. $6.00.This work contains three full separatebooks on a subject which is common toall; namely, Political Power. Each workwas stimulated by the knowledge that theothers were to be written along the linesof .the special professional interest of theother authors. The books are: PoliticalPower, by Professor Charles E. Merriam;World Politics and Personal Insecurity, byProfessor Harold D. Lasswell, and Powerand Conscience, by Professor T. V. Smith.The treatment of the subject is con­temporaneous, as though the· pages werewritten today, though all of them are re­printed from the year in which they werefirst written and published, 1934. Beforewe proceed to some comments on theseworks, it should be said that the trilogyin one volume is, at its price, remarkablyvaluable to students, and beyond price,it is a veritable liberal education inpolitical science.It is not remarkable that these worksall appeared in 1934, nor that they areeven fresher in their significance and treat­ment today than they were 16 years ago.For they were stimulated by the politicalstruggles and insecurity of the world "whosestructure was shaken by World War I,whose bread was denied it by the economicdepression of the "Thirties," and the con­vulsions and reconstructions in the internaland international life of peoples takingthe form of fascism, Nazism, Soviet Com­munism, and the clash between the rule oflaw established in the League of Nationsand ancient inveterate, nationalism.Today, after World War II, we are onlyat a more intensified stage of these vasteruptions, and since the end is far fromsight-the end being justice and peace, in­dividual creativeness-the books which orig­inated at the first outburst still containthe juices that nourish an understandingof the struggle as it appears in this ourown day.Something may be said about the rela­tionship of the three works. The authors'names are known not only in the Univer­sity of Chicago, but throughout the UnitedStates, and their work is read and hasbeen of influence throughout the wholeworld. They were a triad of Chicago Pro­fessors in Social Science, and though work­ing in different fields therein, were closelyrelated in friendship and in their activein terest in politics.It is 'not, therefore, remarkable that theyshould have encouraged each other towrite these works with a wide common ob­ject. But it is remarkable that withoutdeliberately sitting together at one desk,they exhibit so great and intensive an ac­quaintance with' the same widely diversematerial.Professor Merriam's subject may be de­scribed as the conditions under which sov­ereign authority is acquired, maintained,disintegrated and lost. Yet his treatmentof it is far removed from sterile legalism:12 instead it is a generous exercise in thesociology of power, wherever it appearsin interpersonal relations, whether it is insmaller group forms or the largest oneof all, the nation, or the largest perhapsyet to come, the world of nations. Inthis treatment he makes use of the richmass of material discovered in recent yearsin the fields of economics, anthrop�logy,history, sociology, government. As thosewho have heard Merriam lecture or readhis works may imagine, his views arefounded upon fine analytical and vividimaginative thought in which figure large­ly the psychological analysis of the natureof human personality, the evolution of thesocial heritage, the formation of our pastand present social environment and theiufluence of science. His continuous treat­ment of the disruptive and the promissorypower of natural and social science is par­ticularly notable.Then, in a more specialized. psycho­analytic approach to the same problem ofpower, Professor Lasswell integrates histreatment with that of Merriam. Beginningwith the internal constitution and capaci-Merriamties and anxieties of man, he moves fromthe problem of personal security, the 'inev­itable concern of the person, to the tre­mendous field of world politics, throughthe consideration of nations, class, socialequality, imperialism, economic conditions,the contacts of men through movement,politics and the symbols of deference andrulership ..Finally, Professor T. V. Smith considersthe nature of conscience, not as an abstractphilosophical study, but as a' realisticethics of value in this dynamic humansituation. He, then, beginning with the in­convenience caused by conscience, the innerconflict of righteousness and power, movesout to the political world on as vast afield as do the other two authors, to seek,the standard by which one may make uphis mind to do his duty and to integratethe unity of self and the world.Hence, the three have a common goal,and the internal treatment of the subjectby each intertwines with the themes andlessons pondered by, the others. What apity it is that time and fate have dis­persed the three so that they are nolonger within reach of each other on thesame University quadrangle, and that prac­tical affairs have interfered with theirformer informal but coherent philosophic cooperation. Here, indeed, is at least �informal but coherent philosophic cO'CBIeration. Here, indeed, is a t least one gl'conversation. , �"Whatever the title given to the lllb�vidual works, the question answere�, �Icause it is the supreme question, IS I�relationship of the self to society and �the many societies in their varying r�r.and quality of loyalty. The three aut balare remarkably open-minded as to '�eilforms may possibly come and in ,t'lllwillingness to inquire. Professor l\'reJ}I��even urges the more penetrating and II�'prejudiced study of the bees, the aellthe sheep, the chimpanzees, and eVaulworms, to throw light on the hU�eopower situation and is not uninteres 10in the approach of Buddha to power a;soits rejection. }'rofessor T.

It was generally agreedthat morale was not only low, butsinking, because of the uncertaintiesin the minds of young men. This wasoccasioned by the fact that althoughthe government had promised thatstudents 'Plight finish the academicyear, th� .. �tudents were .not actuallydeferred l?:�t their induction post­poned. I{�hey received a notice ofinduction, a/preliminary physical washeld and they were assigned to theArmy. +f� ,Ma,�x. students were interested injoiningo!per branches of the service.Since they \were not sure when theirinduction would come up, studentswere dropping out of schools and astate of unrest was apparent almosteverywhere. The Deans decided tospeak .in the name of 17q,OOO stu­dents, whom they represented, to Gen­eral Hershey and other persons inWashington asking that voluntary en­listment be stopped and that betterinformation be furnished the drafthoards so that similar policies. be en­forced in all 48 states.When the Selective Service ruleswere changed on Friday of the sameweek so that students might choosethe branch of Service they would liketo enter, the Deans felt that althoughthey may not have effected thechange, they at least had some voicein Washington. The general effect hasbeen good. Since the recent announce-20 ment.' our young people have settleddown to completing a year's workdespite the fact that the whole matterof Selective Service is still a cloudyissue. By the time this is published,of course, it may have been clarifiedfor the general public. It is difficultto decide such an issUe 'when it is un­certain whether or not there will betotal war.Round the clock schoolingit goes without saying that the Uni­versity of Chicago is in a highly fa­vorable position to accommodate theYO,ung men and women who wouldlike to accelerate their education. Thisis particularly true since the quartersystem, with the full summer quarter,a part of our heritage at the U niver­sity of Chicago, affords the student theopportunity to go "around the clock,"completing . his work much sooner.The present structure of the College,permitting the student to enter afterhis sophomore year of high school,means that many students can receivethe Bachelor of Arts degree beioreentering the Service.Pat Harrison and I were in Wash­ington recently talking again with theState Department about foreign stu­dents. The Department of State doeshave some unassigned funds to bringforeign students, professors, and re­search workers to this country. Mr.Harrison is interested in clearing thelines for the faculty and researchers,and I for the student group. We wereencouraged by the words of the StateDepartment, although we doubt verymuch that many will" arrive beforethe end of the present academic year.Most assignments will be made inApril for 1951-52. In any case, therewill be a sharp reduction in enroll­ment next year in all schools, whichmakes it an auspicious time for bring- ing foreign students and scholars tostudy in this country.

Schwerin au­dience research studies of recentRound Table broadcasts indicate an"average liking" of 71 in a maximumscore of 100.The Round Table was the firstAmerican radio program after Hiro­shima to dISCUSS the implications of the atomic bomb. It was also the firstradio program to present the storyand meaning of the discovery ofcortisone, the "dust theory" of theorigin of the earth, T. S. Eliot read­ing his own poetry, and Anna Freudon child psyc�ology.The Round, Table gave Americanstheir first opportunity to hear theviews and voices of Benes of Czecho­slovakia, Aleman of Mexico andNehru of India. During Nehru's visitto the United States, the Round Ta­ble was the only discussion programto present Pandit Nehru. He spokeon "Mankinci in a RevolutionaryAge."On the Sunday following the inva­sion of South Korea (june, 1950),Round Table listeners heard five au­thoritative observers speak on prob­lems relating to the sharp turn in in­ternational relations. Less than 48hours after the assassination of Ma­hatma Gandhi on January 29, 1948,the Indian and Pakistan ambassadorsto the United States and the UnitedNations appeared on the Round Ta­ble with two American scholars to dis­cuss "Gandhi's Life and Death: ItsMeaning for .Mankind."The Round Table is also now thefirst national discussion program tocombine radio listening with fourhome study courses of basic readingsin world politics, economics and hu­man rights. Two of.the courses carrycollege credit.I t was also the first radio. programin America to sponsor and maintaina full-scale, weekly magazine, its an­nual sale nearing a half-million copies.One pamphlet alone, "Equality ofEducational Opportunity," sold 33,000copies.The goals of the 1951 Round Tableinclude the origination of additionalprograms from Europe and Asia, thedevelopment of additional Round Ta­ble home study courses, and the de­velopment of a library of basic record­ings.The Round Table is a three-timewinner of the George Foster Peabodyradio awards and a four-time winnerof the Institute for Radio in Educa­tion award. The American exhibitionof educational radio programs of OhioState University cited the Round Ta­ble for "maintaining the excellent edu­catip�al value of this series and pro­viding an opportunity to raise thelevel of listener thinking."25Lewis Kay ton, '22, Moses Levitan, '11, Walter R.

ForPSychiatry does have a morality, andI think that beliefs,. which must int�e last analysis be described as re­hgious, are implicit in the theory andPractice of psychiatry.Consider, for a moment, the daily\Vork of the psychiatrist. Consider histninistry to the most miserable, thetnost unI'Svely, the most pitiable andat times the most offensive and evendangerous of human beings. Considerthe psychiatrist's role, properly con­ceived, as". that of the friend, thegUide, th��protector, the helper, thelOver of th�s�i�nhappy people.Consider �hat you call his toler­a�ce, his forbearance, his patience�lth stubbornness, anger, spitefulness,SIlliness, sulkiness, belligerency, des­Perateness, unreasonableness, mali­ciousness - all the manifestations ofhate. These he meets, if he is a good! PSYchiatrist, with an attitude he is\ l\{ARCH, 1951 not ashamed to call love. We canlive, he tells them, if we can love."You can be angry with me, ifyou must," the psychiatrist tells hispatients (by his behavior); "I knowyou have had good cause to be angryat someone, so angry you becameafraid of it. But you need not beafraid here-not afraid of me, notafraid of your own anger, nor ofyour own self-punishing conscience.You needn't be afraid that your angerwill arouse my anger and so bringyou pain again,· and make you feelwronged, and disappointed and re­jected and desperate and driven madonce more! For I'm not angry and1 won't get angry and after a whileY9P won't be angry, either. Thesep�gple all about you whom you can'tlook at now-you will find that theyare your friends. We are all yourfriends, We all love you, in spiteof\the unloveableness you feel. Pres­ently you will begin to realize that,ancf relax a little, and then more andmore. And as you come to understandus better, and we you, the warmthof love will begin to replace your present anguish, and you will findyourself helping us, and getting well!"Most patients get well!The psychiatrist dedicates his lifeto furthering the welfare, the life bet­terment, of those whose capacities foradjustment have been overtaxed. So,of course, in a specific way does theshoemaker and the dentist. But theovertaxing that brings patients tothe psychiatrist reveals itself in pain,in queerness, in isolation, in discour­agement, ineffectiveness, in disagree­ableness, in idleness and isolation, indespoliation and defilement. These areunlovely pictures and it is the goalof the psychiatrist to inspire and guideand effect their change. By the graceof God he is usually rewarded withsuccess-not his success, but the pa­tients' . Most psychiatric patients getwell.Hence it is that the chief prayer ofevery psychiatrist should be "Keepback thy servant also from presumptu­ous sins; let them not have dominionover me."27CLASS1897William H.

The heart of theproject is a clinic which extends free treat­ment to a selected group of children suf­fering from defective vision.
