Wanted: More Green ThumbsIN A WORLD faced with constant food shortages in so manycountries, more "green thumbs" are needed!Here in America, modern agricultural methods have increased farm production 600/0 in the past generation-eventhough today there are 20% fewer workers on the farms.This increased yield means plenty of food for everyonehere - and more besides. And the same methods, applied inother countries, would help answer world food needs.Better seed, fertilizer, and new scientific methods playtheir part. Equally important are the various chemicals thatnow fight off blight, disease, and destructive insects. Starting before planting and continuing until the food is readyfor our tables, hundreds of new materials increase and protect our food supply.Even after harvest, man-made agents speed the ripeningprocess. Others guard our food against rodents and insects. The people of Union Carbide help make possible thehigh productivity of America's food producers by supplying chemicals for fungicides and insecticides, gases for rip'ening and preserving, and the stainless steel so importantin the preparation and distribution of food. If you have amaterials problem, in this field or other fields, it is quitelikely they can help you also.F R E E: Learn more about the interesting things youuse every day.

ByHarley Farnsworth MacNair andDonald F. Lach. D. Van NostrandCompany: New York, 19S0. $S.8S.There could scarcely have been a morepropitious time for the appearance of thisnew volume on the Far East, conceivedand begun by the late Professor MacNairand at his request completed by his onetime student and later faculty associatein the University of Chicago'S Departmentof History.Anyone harassed by increasing demandsfor knowledge and understanding of FarEastern problems will here find an orderlyand unusually detailed narrative of twentieth-century diplomatic, commercial, andmilitary relations between East and Westand of background political developmentsin the areas concerned. The pre-1900 periodis summarized in introductory chapters.China and Japan are of course given predominant emphasis, but Korea, Inner Asia,Southeast Asia,·and the Pacific islandsare by no means neglected. Throughout,the interests and influences of the UnitedStates and Russia are specially highlighted>-Parts of this volume are based almostentirely on Professor MacNair's earlierwritings, which reflected his extensive personal acquaintance with Asiatic affairs; andthe narrative has been carried on capablyinto early 1950. No bibliography is provided, and only English-language sourcesare cited in footnotes, with some four orfive exceptions.The work was designed for use as atextbook at college and graduate levels.Its format and illustrations are of appropriate textbook types. Thanks to its greatdetail and a good index, it should also beuseful as a reference hand hook. For bothuses, however, its values might have beenenhanced by a more comprehensive tableof contents, freer use of sub-headings inthe text, and a section devoted to suggested additional readings.This does not pretend to be a history ofthe Far East; rather, it is an up-to-datesumming up of the political aspects ofEast-West relations, which are of suchcritical importance today.Charles o.

Forit is here�h" . at we find the other great world�o\Ver opposing the power of the�nited States. It is here that we find::' e expansion of modern technology�ransforming the conduct of millionsti people. And it is in the Sovietnlon that we find the rise of a new�.oli tical religion, a political philoso�hy which rises to supplant other,�.Orldly religions and to bring the;alvation" of Marxism to the rest oflt�le world.APRIL 1951, Wherever the political interests ofthe United States are challenged, thechallenge can be traced to the SovietUnion. Wherever we find that competi tion for technological developmentshas threatened our own interests, wefind that those technological developments have happened either in theSoviet Union or in nations subject toit. And wherever the moral ideas ofthe United States are opposed anddenied, the seat of the counterreligionis to be found in Moscow.Now let me say a word about thenature of those three revolutions towhich I have referred.The political revolution signifies theend of the state system as it has ex- tions necessarily gravitate.The effects of this situation uponthe foreign policies of both the UnitedStates and the Soviet Union are enormous, for in former times no greatpower was able to go very far in itspolicies without being restrained by itsallies. Fifty years ago, let me say, ortwenty years ago, if there had beena dis sen s ion between the UnitedStates and Great Britain as it exists,today with regard to the' Far East, theprime minister of Great Britain mighthave gone to Washington, and hewould have said to the AmericanPresident, "Either you do as we tellyou, or we're going to go over to theother side," or "We're going to stayWhat confronts us in Europe is Russian imperialism,to which the answer is military resistance and the willingness to negotiate. In Asia, there is genuine revolution.isted since the end of the Midde Ages.We live at the beginning of an epochwhich is no longer characterized by amultiplicity of nations-eight or tenortwelve, as the case may have been-of approximately equal strength,but, instead, we have two superpowersopposed to each other. 'Mr. Attlee can only pleadIn practical terms of foreign policythis means that the delicate mechanism of the balance of power whichhas existed for more than four centuries, arid which has kept-if notpeace-at least a certain equilibrium,a certain independence of the individual nations, no longer operates.Instead, we live today in a bipolarworld. We all see that predominantpower in the world is concentrated intwo centers, in Washington and inMoscow, to" which all the other na- neutral," or do this or that whichwould be very disagreeable to us, Today he has none of those weaponswith which, in former times, the policies of great powers could be restrained. Mr. Attlee can plead, hecan reason, bu t. he can no longerthreaten, and this is a very importantchange.What is true of the Western worldis, of course, true to a greater extentto the east of the Iron Curtain. Soyou find that there no longer existtoday those restraints and limitationsof aspirations and policies which informer times brought about limitedwarfare for limited objectives withlimited methods. Today there is onlyself-restraint, a very weak type of restraint, indeed. There is, furthermore,the fear of war itself-fear of a warfought under the conditions of modern technology.5There is, Df course, the restraintexercised by the Dther side. I t is thefear Df the Soviet Union on this side,and it is the fear of the United Stateson the other side, which restrains bothgreat nations ; but there is no longerthis system Df alliances, of pressuresand counterpressures and threatswhich, in former times, formed themost potent restrammg influenceupDn the aspirations and policies Dfthe great pDwers.Our bi-polar worldThis bipolar situation which existsin the world today makes it possible-sand YDU may say it makes it evenlikely-that a third world war, if itdoes not end in universal destruction,will end in world conquest by one Drthe other of the superpDwers. Let ussuppDse that the United States defeatsthe Soviet U nion decisively in a thirdworld war, without itself suffering ir-:reparable damage. There is no longerany opponent which can oppDse thepDwer of the United States. There isno longer any rival with which theU;nited States would need to' deal onan equal footing.Those tendencies of the new bipolar political world toward anarchyand world conquest are powerfullysupported by the technological revolutions of our times. I do not need toremind YDU to what extent our worldhas 'been changed, even in the last fiftyyears, by means of modern technology.It can safely be said that Dur progressin the field of technology from the beginning Df histDry to' the middle Dfthe nineteenth century is like nDthingcDmpared with the prDgress that humanity has made in the field Df technDIDgy in the last hundred years.We all knDw the tremendDus prDgress that has been made in the field ofcDmmunicatiDns. The transmissiDn Dfmessages, visual or Dtherwise, has beCDme, fDr all practical purposes, CDincident with their receptiDn elsewhere in the wDrld.Or, for example, take the field oftranspDrtatiDn. FrDm the beginningDf histDry to' the inventiDn Df the railroad, the technDIDgy Df transportationDn land remained essentially static.That is say, YDU cDuld travel as fastDn land as a horse was able to' carryyDU. When, in the thirties Df thenineteenth century, a member Df theBritish cabinet, Sir RDbert Peel, wasDn a vacatiDn in Italy, he was called6 home to' an urgent cabinet meeting.I think the travel time allowed himwas seventeen days, if I remember correctly, which was exactly identicalwith the travel time allowed to' thegovernors of the Roman Empire to' gofrom the British Isles to' Italy. Within those thousands of years there hadbeen absolutely no change in the technology of transportation,As to' the technology of warfare,I need only remind YDU Df the enormDUS increase in its destructiveness.Those triumphs of modern technology have a tremendous impact upon political matters. First of all, theyhave made world conquest technologically possible, In former times awould-be world cDnquerDr, such asAlexander the Greatvor Napoleon-sDr even Hitler-v-could not possiblysucceed with the technology he hadat his disposal ; for he came up againstthe wide spaces of the earth, and thefarther he advanced, the more he wasthreatened by successful revolution.Today, with the means of moderncommunication, transportation, and. the means of warfare, a would-beworld cDnqueror has the technologicalmeans to' cDnquer the world and keepit conquered.Finally, what is the nature of themoral revolution? In former timespolitical philosophies were developedwi thin the common framework of oneand the same civilization, be it aristocracy, monarchy, Dr democracy,They proposed different means forachieving the same ends, which wereapproved by the same moral cDde, thesame .mDral valuatiDns, expressingthemselves in ap identical way Df life. �Broken familyY DU can see that throughDut thehistDry' Df Western civilizatiDn-untilvery recently-there existed what thewriters Dn internatiDnal law Df theseventeenth and eighteenth centuriescalled a "family Df natiDns." That isto' say, they were natiDns that had different pDlitical objectives but the sameideals and, hence, belDnged to' thesame family, mDrally speaking. Thiswas indeed, in the mDral sense, DnewDrld.'TDday the wDrld is split in twO'.TDday, mDrally speaking, we have twO'wDrlds, each with a pDlitical philDSDphy Df its Dwn, each Df them apprDaching the prDblems Df life, individually and cDllectively, with differ- ent moral valuations. And this is notall. What is still more important i�the fact that those two rival pDI�t�C�philosophies are more than pDlIttC,phil DSDp hies; they are poli tical r.ell· 'I'gions, fully developed in bDlshevIs�and not without strong tendencies 10Western democracy, That is to' say,the political religions of our day waptto' do more than provide a rati��al�!for political institutions and pDlItICil'action ; they want to' give an explanil'ltion of the nature of men, of the nil;ture of the universe, of the place ,0 Iman within that universe, and of Itsdestination. ,They want to' do for men (and tblSis, of course, fully true of bDlshevisrtl) Iwhat, in former times, the other'worldly religions have done. BDlshev'ism does not promise salvation in aPd Iother world ; it promises it here an,nDW, and it believes-c-or at least Itprornises-v-that it is just around tbe 1corner. Furthermore, it does not baseits prognosis upDn faith; it baseS itupon what it calls science.

I�lnk there are very few people whoSt,lU believe this today, and so I candismiss this alternative right away.The second answer to the questionwhich concerns us here is that worldrevolution is the real problem between�he Soviet Union and the Unitedtates. That is to say, the SovietUnion is irrevocably committed to�orld revolution, and the Unitedtates must defend itself and Westerncj '1'Vllzation against that threat.If this is the correct interpretationof the situation, if this is the correctanswer to our question, then I should�ay right away that war is absolutelyIneVitable, for in a war between twohOlitical religions, each claiming toaVe a monopoly of truth in its interPretation of man and of his destinati lan, you cannot bargain, you cannotcorn . .promIse, you cannot negotiate ;One has to yield and one has to triumph, and there is no possible outcome but war.If the czar still reignedThe third answer to our question is�hat the real issue between the Unitedtates and the Soviet Union is Russ�an imperialism, pursuing the traditional aims of Russian imperialism asestablished through the last two hundred years, with the aid of a newtnethod, a new instrument of political�d military warfare-that is to say,t e fifth column of Communist subversion.If this is the correct interpretationOf the situation, if this is the correctanswer that you must give to ourqUestion, then we have obviously analternative to war, for -then sufficientStren h ... li. gt can restram Imp en a Ism asIt has done in the past, and the age?ld techniques of diplomatic bargainIng and compromise-in other words,a negotiated settlement-can take careof the situation.\'" ou can make a very simple test inOrder to answer for yourself which oft?Ose two interpretations of the situatlO .n IS correct. Imagine for a moment that the czarwere still reigning in St. Petersburgand that in every other respect thesituation in the world were exactly asit is today. Imagine that the armiesof the czar stand a little bit more thana hundred miles east of the Rhine andchallenge Europe, and that the czar,as his predecessors had done, had announced a crusade to conquer theworld, in order to remake the world,not in the image of bolshevism, but,as Alexander the First announced atthe beginning of the nineteenth century, to make it over in the image ofChristian principles., MorgenthauDo you believe for one moment thatthis Russian imperialism would be lessof a threat to us than is the same Russian imperialism proclaiming the ideology of bolshevism and guided nolonger by the czar but by Stalin?Obviously, the answer is that, fromthe point of view of the national interests of the United States, it wouldmake no difference. Czarist imperialism aimed at exactly the same objectives which bolshevism aims at today-controlling eastern Europe, CentralEurope, as much of Europe as possible.You can make another simple testin order to prove to yourself which ofthose two interpretations is correct.Imagine for a moment that the czarstill reigned 'in St. Petersburg, and that the Communist party in the UnitedStates were as strong as it is today.Would anybody believe that the threatto the American system of government, emanating from autonomous,indigenous Communist activities, independent of Moscow, would carryany serious threat for us? Obviously,what threatens us on the part of theCommunist party of the United Statesis not revolution but treason. In otherwords, it is the power of Russia standing behind American communism asit stands behind British or Frenchcommunism which is the threat, andnot communism as such, as an isolated political philosophy.Fortunately, the Western world-inparticular, the United States-is verymuch immune to the poison of Bolshevist propaganda per se, but whatwe are not immune from is Russianimperialism and the servants of Russian imperialism in our midst. Again,when we look at the domestic' situation, we find the real threat to oursecurity not in revolution but in Russian imperialism, in the attempt toconquer the world under the guise ofliberating it from capitalism and whatthey call false democracy.I should add, in passing, that thesame problem of interpreting a revolutionary imperialism has confrontedthe Western world before, in the formof the French Revolution. When theFrench Revolution arose, and theFrench engaged in war with the restof the European Continent, the greatBritish statesmen of that era, Pitt andBurke and Fox, asked themselves exactly the question which I have puttoday: "What is the real issue between Great Britain and France, between Great Britain and revolutionaryFrance?"Burke described their position as aholy crusade of monarchy and aristocracy against the atheistic revolutionof France. Fox said it was nothing atall; it was not worth worrying about.Pitt, the great prime minister of GreatBritain, said it was French imperialism, having obtained a new dimension,a new instrument in the revolutionaryfervor of the idea of the French Revolution, and he said in a great speechin the House of Commons: Whatthreatens us, what is at stake, what thereal issue is, is the security of GreatBritain-"Security against a danger,the greatest that ever threatened theworld."7This seems to. me to. be the correctanswer to. our question, tDD. It is thesecurity Df the United States which isat stake, threatened by an imperialismmore potent than any the world hasever seen. In a sense, that threat isthe very product of the three greatrevolutions-e-the political, the technological, the moral-e-of our time.No phony revolutionNDW let me say a word about thepractical application of that answerand its general implications .for theforeign policy of the United States.I think, if my interpretation is correct,that we must make a fundamental distinction between the dangers thatthreaten us in Europe and the dangersthat threaten us in Asia. In otherwords, in view Df this answer to. ourquestion, the situation in Europe isfundamentally different from the situation in Asia.What confronts us in Europe is imperialism, pure and simple. It is notrevolution at all, in the genuine senseof the word.We should not forget-s-and we cannDt easily forget without becomingunwilling victims of Communist prDpaganda-that in no. country Df Europeoutside the Soviet Union has a CDmmunist revolution succeeded, unlessthe country had already been CDnquered by the Red Army. In all coun-. tries of Europe outside the SovietU nion which are nDW Communist, theso-called "revolution" was a mere byproduct of Russian conquest and istoday a mere instrument of Russianimperialism.Why has Stalin established a CDmmunist government in Poland Dr Rumania Dr Bulgaria? Do. YDU think fornothing but the spread of communism?' Certainly it was for that, tDD,but primarily it Was in order to' makethe fulfilment of the age-DId ambitionsof Russia secure in those countries.In other words, what the czars weretrying to' do. in the eighteenth andnineteenth centuries in Poland withDther techniques, Stalin is trying to'do. tDday with the mDdern techniquesDf CDmmunist subversiDn and SDcalled "revDlutiDn."If it is Dnly imperialism and nDtrevDlutiDn that cDnfrDnts us in EurDpe, then the answer to' the threatDf Russian imperialism in EurDpe ismilitary resistance, and a willingnessto' negDtiate where negDtiatiDn ispDssible.8 The situation in Asia is entirelydifferent, for what confronts us in Asiais not phony revolution; it is nDt aseries of revolutions engineered by theRed Army, serving the purpDses ofRussian imperialism. What faces usin Asia is genuine revolution. I daresay that even if bolshevism had neverbeen heard of, even if Russian pDwerhad never existed, there would havebeen a revolution in China, in Indonesia, and in India..What has brought abDut revolutionin Asia has very little, if anything, to.do with bolshevism in Russia. I tis,first of all, the breakdown of the ruleof the white man-the fact that thewhite man has been defeated by theyeJlow man in the last war, the factthat the British were unable to' keepIndia with the traditional methodsof white rule. It is this fundamentalfact-which is DbviDUS to' any memberof the colored races in Asia-whichprDves to' them that the white man isno. longer able to. rule in Asia.Lessons from the WestThe second element which has.brought about those revolutions inAsia is the triumph Df two. moralideas of the West which the West itself has brought to. Asia and for thepotency of which the West itself hasgiven Asia the example-the idea ofnational self-determination and theidea of social justice.The West has taught that the administration by a nation of its ownaffairs-its cultural development, thecultivation Df its language, its nativeinstitutions-s-is a good in itself forwhich man might even fight, and theAsiatics have learned that lesson, TheWest has also. taught Asia that miseryand poverty are not God-given cursesto. which man must humbly submit,but that they are man-made andtherefore can be remedied by man,and Asia has learned that lesson, tDD.This, in a very sketchy way, is anoutline of the basic reasons for therevolutions, carried by the aspirationsof a billion people, by fDrce Df arms.W�ether Dr not we like that fact isbeside the pDint. A genuine revDlutiDn Df such dimensiDns, Df such magnitude' cannDt be DppDsed by fDrce Dfarms; indeed, it cannDt be Dpposed atall; it can Dnly be jDined. That is to.say that the Dnly sensible policy fDrthe United States wDuld have been- them into. channels favorable to theinterests of the United States.If it is true that in Asia we arefaced with genuine revolutions, whichwe can only guide but not suppresS,then it is also. true that the real prob!lem for the United States and for theforeign policy of the United Statesdoes not lie in Asia but in Europe,FDr in Asia we can do. little more tha!1try to. support the attempts at socialand economic reforms through plans'such as Point Four, which have redmained largely on paper thus far, anby competition in the struggle for th�minds Df men. 'In the military £lei,there is very little we can do ; it 15strictly a political problem.The really burning question, then,for American foreign policy is theproblem of Europe. Here, I think, wehave been involved in some confusion, not concerning the questioI1which I have raised before as to thereal issue, but the question as to thenature of American pDwer.YDU are all aware Df the cDntroVersYwhich is raging in our midst about tb,edefense of western Europe. To. rne Itis not a question of whether Europeshould be defended Dr should not bedefended. All of American historypoints to. the vital interest of th�United States in the maintenance 0the balance Df pDwer in Europe, in theopposition to. the would-be world coo-queror. The only question is "BoWcan Europe be defended best?"Good use for u.

Tocontinue my long term study of Africasouth of the Sahara, I submitted aproject in January, 1949, dealing withKampala, Uganda, to form the basisof a Ph.D. dissertation in geography .In June a telegram announced a Fulbright award. However, if it hadn'tbeen for the aid of Professor WalterJohnson ( Chairman, History) inclearing up a last minute misunderstanding in the State Department,Elizabeth [Elizabeth Nelson, '45] andI might have missed the boat.The Fulbright staff in London haddone reams of paper work by August,but I was the first flesh and bloodproduct to arrive, and they were extremely helpful.

The Belgiansfrequently ship tea, coffee, pyrethrum,and minerals out through British territory to Mombasa rather than by themore direct route west to the Atlanticand Europe because the many transshipments necessary to cross the wideCongo Basin make that route moreexpensive. Shortsighted administration in East Africa has so far deniedthis region the railroad extension fromKampala that was planned twentyyears ago. At present even the trickleof 400 tons a month hauled by a newtrucking company from the Kivu tothe Kampala railhead is too much forthe overloaded narrow gauge line toclear comfortably in addition to itsUganda railings. A good hard roadto the coast is needed, but it wouldparallel the railway from Kampala toMombas.a, so the government has deliberately kept what road there is mpoor condition.The Fulbright grant expired inJune, and Mr. Walter S. Rogers, '02,invited me to attend a conference being held in Oxford by the Institute ofCurrent World Affairs. I flew back toUganda via Tripoli and Khartoum anassociate of the Institute, and in August we headed for South Africa bycar. Few African roads are good, andthe Vanguard needed three rearsprings, four shock absorbers, clutchand brakes relined, and all new tiresbefore -12,000 miles. American carsare seldom available, and even theirlife is cut more than one-half by thebeating they take on these roads.

The GoldCoast, with independence imminent,is going through a trying period forboth its people and the British. Ifself government soon for an Africanna tion is to be followed by a periodof real progress, the best chance ishere. Uganda has no port and needstime for national feeling to grow.Kenya has white settlers who mustbe considered and Tanganyika's inadequate capital to develop its vast extent.Northern Rhodesia is producing onlya trickle of educated Africans, whileLiberia is trying with American aid tocatch up with the twentieth century.Nigeria, the largest unit in the Britishcolonial empire, is surging towardself rule but is split into three antagonistic regions. Sierra Leone, the Gambia, and the High Commission territories in South Africa are weak economic units. Belgian, French, Portu-. guese, and Spanish territories are governed under colonial theories that, although differing widely one from another, are unanimous at least in not planning for separate political status.The Gold Coast is the glitteringhope. Its peoples are comparativelyhomogeneous, there have been schoolsfor over a century, mass education isspreading, and a first class college istraining leaders. Yet, five major. language groups are a divisive force,ami the electorate, which this year isto be based on a universal franchisefor the first time, will have an illiterate majority for some years. Thecountry does have a number of reallyrich men and a middle class based onthe small trader and cocoa farmer.(Only Uganda, with cotton, has nearly so many prosperous farmers.) Timber, gold, bauxite, and manganese exports along with cocoa can earn bothdollars and pounds for imports anddevelopment, and in the rivers flowsuntapped power. Britain has promisedto leave in the near future, but rightnow there is widespread distrust, suspicion, and a rebellious unrest.No doctrinaire CommunistsHere and across the continent postwar riots and disturbances have beenfrequent-well publicized from Britishterritories, usually hushed over inothers. Inevitably much of this agitation has been labeled communist.With minor exceptions in South Africa, and in Ethiopia (where there isa Russian Embassy), communism hasvirtually no direct or doctrinaire following in Africa south of the Sahara.A group of Makerere College students, in sensible dress, pause on the stepsof the Administration Building.12 . nHowever, the race between educatlOand agitation is accelerating. Grie�'ances to exploit are certainly not lac�'�ng,. but comm�nism has not had Its. Immngs. It won t unless the EuropeaJlpowers who are now batting in Afriell Istrike out. If we are willing to c@lil'"tribute, and IF the colonial natiojliSwill allow it, Point IV can go a lofl.gway to help raise living standards,stimulate new markets and new pro;duction, and keep communism out �'the batter's box altogether.Obviously, Fulbrighters in colonialareas have very diff eren t experiencesfrom the "majority, who go to Europ.e.Grants for both are based on costs �llthe latter, which leads to some anolJi!'alies.

Strozier, Dean of Studentssummer, and, as a reward, I wasasked to stand in the receiving lineat the summer reception for students,with him and Mrs. Hutchins. I wasawed to find myself third in the line;only once removed from the Deityhimself. Unfortunately, my wife hadleft for cool Colorado with the children and I had to enjoy my minorsuccess alone.Pressed by the pressI found myself chatting gayly withthe charming Mrs. H. when I feltsomething like a professional wrestlerpush me aside. Feeling that I hadevidently made some inexcusable fauxpas, ,I turned to find the library in Ida Noyes Hall overrun with photographers, all of whom were not only unimpressed by my presence, but mostof whom seemed to fear that by someunfortunate chance I might be included in a picture with the Hutchinses. i stepped aside as quickly andunobtrusively as any minor functionary could in a similar situation.As the evening progressed the photographers continued to seek the profile, front and back view of this handsome couple, and each time I madea valiant effort to be chatting interestedly with Gertrude Smith, Professor of Greek, on my right. When theH u tchinses invited me home withthem after the line had finally broken,I felt that I had met the qualifica-13tions of a new and eager administrator on the Midway.My 'wife Margaret, who had alsobeen a student at Chicago and whoshared all the traditional a we ofthe chancellor, and I were invited tostand with the Hutchinses when thesecond Mrs. Hutchins made her firstofficial appearance in a receiving linefor new students. Excitement was highthat evening-here was Mrs. God,petite, beautiful, and charming.Margaret looked over her 'facultywife wardrobe before the affair anddecided to slip into a little numberthat had been in her trousseau elevenyears before and which she had wiselykept for an occasion when she wouldbe almost entirely anonymous. WhenI questioned the advisability of wearing such an old formal, 1 had no answer to her artless query, "who willlook at me?" Indeed, no orie did.We stood, listless, yet fascinated,while autograph seekers stopped theline; friends of old friends of theHutchinses brought unsolicited, andprobably unsent, greetings. Students,patrons, and fond parents brushed byus as quickly as possible, and photographers gave us the usual bum's rush.. True, the Hutchinses did not seek suchadoration, and we did not expect it,but there it was as though a coupleof famous movie stars had descendedon a group of bobby soxers and hadinadvertently included their valet andwardrobe mistress in their entourage.The F. Champion Wards and theJohn Daveys shared the line with usthat evening, and the six of us madean animated little group whenever thephotographers descended for a particular angle. I was on the point ofasking our University press representa- tives to . request one of the photographers to use a blank and make ashot of the eight of us, just for thelook of things, but my wife's goodtaste prevailed, and I was silenced.All of us who shared this reflectedglory might have considered the eventsat these receptions indignities, hadHutchins himself ever sought thelimelight. But, always the soul ofcourtesy, he was grace and charm itself, with complete sincerity.It was ironic, therefore, that it wasbecause of him that I finally suffereda real indignity and shared his spotlight on his -last, memorable appearance in that famous library setting.The shock of his resignation in December, 1950, was so great that onlyan appearance in Rockefeller Chapelwith a speech exclusively for the students themselves, and a reception inIda Noyes afterwards, could assuagethe students. His immediate acceptance threw the planning committeesinto an uproar of activity. On themorning the tickets were distributed,all 2500 were eagerly picked up byindividual students within a half hour.I was a�ked to preside }n the Chapelfor the occasion, and Margaret and Iwere scheduled for the line afterwardswith the Hutchinses and the two student committee chairmen. As thespeech preceded the reception, wewere all to wear street clothes ..This presented me with a problemas my Dean's blue double-breastedsuit which had become shiny andworn with constant use was my onlyrecourse for such an occasion. AgainMargaret reminded me with wifelycalm that my appearance on this occasion need cause me no concern.I arrived in the Chapel office a few minutes before Hutchins and had removed my overcoat when he entered.He looked at me and said, "Maybeyou will want to go home and changeyour suit." My dismay was unlimitedwhen .I considered the prospect. r·omy query, "You are not in a dinnerjacket, are you?" he answered byreading a paragraph from his speech:«W hy is it that the boyar girl) whoon June 15 receives his degree) eager,enthusiastic). outspoken) idealistic) reflective) and independent) is on thefollowing September 15, or ev�ll.June 16, dull) uninspiring) shifty) plzadable) and attired in a double-breast!blue serge suit?"I was caught.

But times are changingI THINK WE might consider thenature of the struggle in whichWe are engaged.This has been largely representedto Us as a military struggle, and I amnot in a position to deny that theltlilitary aspects of this struggle existand are extremely important.But all we have to do to considerthe relative importance of the militaryaSpects of the struggle is to ask ourselves where we shall be if the military situation actually explodes, andWhere we might be after peace waseVentually established.If there is another war, who willSUPport us? And why?We cannot, I think, expect that theRussians will assist us. At this stage,the satellite countries do not seemfavorably disposed. Therefore, it is��e area between Russia and the satel'lte countries on the one hand, andthe United States on the other, withwhich we are primarily concerned.Loyalty of mankindWe are engaged, actually, in a&truggle for the loyalty and adherenCe of mankind to the ideals thatWe profess.In any military struggle, the sup'�ort of mankind-this side of the Ironurtain-will be indispensable to us.If we are to avoid a military struggle it would appear that it is im�ortant, if not indispensable to us,to have the support of those peoples��o stretch between Russia and theest.I do not think that we shall makeVery much progress in directing short�ave broadcasts at Russia herself. Io not think that the Russians areltlaking very much progress with the\PRIL 1951, short-wave broadcasts directed towardus.The Russians do appear to havemade a certain amount of progresswith the presentation of their idealsin the territory which, as I have indicated, we must regard as crucial inthe struggle in which we are engaged.A revolutionary struggleNow, what is the nature of this discussion? What is the condition of thepeople whom we are trying to influence?We know that many of them areengaged in revolutionary struggles oftheir' own. We know that they feelthat they are backward, that the reason they are backward is that theyhave been held back; and that theyhave been held back by the West.Their revolutionary aspirations result from a sense of oppression whichthey feel, and which they feel is attributable to the attitude of the imperialistic past, and perhaps of theimperialistic present, of certain elements in western society.The role into which the UnitedIn 1949, the first national conference ofeducators met in Chicago to discuss"Discrimination in College Admissions." Itwas sponsored by the A merican Council onEducation, cooperating with the AntiDefamation League of B'nai Brith, and therecommendation was made that regionalconferences on the topic thenceforth beheld. Dr. Hutchins remarks, originallytitled "Highlights of the national andworld picture as they affect discriminationin U.S. colleges and universities," weremade to the' most recent regional conference, meeting in Chicago. Chairman wasDr. A. C. Ivy, vice president in charge ofthe professional colleges, University ofIllinois. Other U of C participants includedFloyd W. Reeves, Professor of Administration, Maurice F. Seay, Chairman, Dept. ofEducation, and Louis Wirth, Projessor ofSociology. States has been pushed in many partsof the world can only be describedas reactionary; and one of the mostserious aspects of the military preparations of the present day is that theyseem to be directed, as for examplein. Indo-China, to repressing whatwould appear to be the legitimate aspirations of the people of that country.U. S. supports colonialismThe United States, then, instead ofbeing able to act in accordance withthe ideals which it professes, is actually functioning as the support of colonial powers in many parts of theworld; but if the people betweenRussia and the United States wantanything, it is an end to colonialism.To the extent to which the UnitedStates can be presented to those peeple as the final, last support of colonialism, to that extent it can successfully be represented that the UnitedStates does not live up to the idealsthat it professes, and that those idealsare, after all, nothing but a series ofplatitudes engraved perhaps in theDeclaration of Independence, buthaving no actual role in our lives.In this situation, anything, andanything whatever, that can be foundin this country which represents discrimination against minority groups,and particularly against minoritygroups on the ground of race, becomes a piece of evidence of the utmost cogency and importance.Paper vs. real educationOne of the greatest opportunitiesthat any individual or any countrycan have is the opportunity for education. The question is not what is15the paper situation in this countrywith regard to the opportunity for education, but what is the actual situation?The actual situation is that economic barriers and racial and religious barriers prevent, annually, theeducation of countless thousands ofyoung people who are qualified byintellect and character to avail themselves of the opportunities of highereducation.We say for example that highereducation in the United States is free;and it is free, if you have the moneyto pay for it. That is, you can goyou used to be able to go-to aninstitution like the University of Illinois for a fee of $75.0.0 a year. Thiswas in the good old days. But evenin those good old days, unless youhad another thousand dollars a yearto live on, and unless your familycould dispense with your earnings,you were debarred by your economicsituation from availing yourself of theopportunities at the University of Illinois, even though Dr. Ivy· and hiscolleagues had set the tuition fee ata nominal figure.We are accustomed to think thatwe are ahead of the whole world inthe provision of free higher education; but this is far from true if we. contrast with the situation where onlytuition is free, or ·tuition is low, thesituation that has long since obtainedin many European countries-andmore recently in England-wherethose who are thought worthy aregiven a subvention that enables themto live as well as to study.The racial barriers to educationthe religious barriers to education arewell known to all of you.The usual answer.Now, the usual answer is that nothing can be done. The reason whynothing can ever be done in education is that money is always involved.The one final, conclusive answer toany educational proposal is that itwill cost money. If it can be represented that any' educational changewill reduce the income of theinstitution in question, this is fatal to theproposal.Twenty years ago the University ofChicago did not allow Negro womento live in the dormitories. There wereno Negro children in the laboratoryschools. There were no Negro students in the medical school. There16 were no Negro patients in the hospitals. There were no Negro professorson the faculty. When a. very .distinguished and cultivated Hindu, whospoke better English than the Chancellor, was proposed for appointmentto the faculty, it was said that he,of course could not belong, and ifhe did belong, he could not belong tothe Quadrangle Club, which is veryexclusive, because-and all this wasbecause-he was black.Now, when it was suggested that itwould be a good thing if the Negrowomen were �permitted to live in thedormitories, we were told that if theNegro women were permitted to livein the dormitories, all the Whitewomen would move out. The Whitewomen paid tuition, paid room rent,and it would be fatal to the University's financial future if this revenue were . lost.Revenue did not sufferThe Negro women were taken into'the dormitories; the White womenstayed on; and the revenue of theUniversity did not suffer, or at leastdid not suffer from this cause.When it was suggested that Negrochildren might be admitted to thelaboratory schools, we were informedthat if Negro children were admitted,all the White children would be takenou t of the schools, and we wouldeither have to discontinue the schoolsor run them as an entirely Negroinstitution.Negro children were admitted, andthe White children stayed on; andeverybody is crazy about the Negrochildren because they're so cute.When it was suggested that weshould admit Negro students to themedical school, we were told thatNegro students could not be admittedbecause if they were admitted ourpatients would not permit them tolook af ter them; and if we had nopatients we would have no medicalschools; and the entire progress ofscience in the United States wouldsuffer that serious setback which mustresult if the University of ChicagoMedical School is ever discontinued.Negro students have been admittedto the medical school. The patientsstill line up, trying to get into thebuilding. And our problem at theUniversity of Chicago Medical Schoolis still how to find enough accommo- dations for the people who want toget in there and ha ve the studentSlook after them. The difficulty in finding medical students is the difficultyof finding those who have had a sufficiently good economic backgroundto get a sufficiently good preliminaryeducation so that they can get througha rigorous medical program.So that we are confronted with theembarrassing situation that we have,for some years, been prepared to admit Negro medical students to themedical school, and have had an almost impossible time in trying to findqualified Negroes.In the same way, we were told thatif Negro patients were admitted tothe hospital, the medical school wouldhave to close because no White patients would ever ask for our services again, and it was pointed out tous that there are 350,000 Negroesjust across Cottage Grove Avenuefrom the University of Chicago hoSpitals; and it was represented thatthey would storm the place everYmorning at eight o'clock, and that theWhite patients would never be ableto get near it.Negro patients are admitted noW'They are not admitted on a segregated basis. And the result has beenthat there has been no result at all .Money always talks ...Now, I have been in educationaladministration for more years than 1care to count. I have never seen anYproposal of this type made on which_the answer that I have quoted haSnot been given, "This will be fatal to"us because it will reduce our revenue.I have never seen a proposal of thiSkind carried through where it hadthe slightest effect, either on the finances of the institution, or on theintellectual, moral qualities of the enterprise.Therefore, there is, according tomy observation-which though protracted I admit has been narrow--according to my observation, there isno reason why we should not do thethings we know we ought to do.The most encouraging aspect of thepast 25 years in American society haSbeen the progress on the labor front,and the progress on the Negro front.On the labor front, perhaps theprogress has gone too far, as I a�inclined to think every spring-Or, 1STHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZlrJ£it every fall, when John L. Lewisdelivers his annual ultimatum. Butcertainly the change has been tremendous since the days that I rememberas a boy, when the question waswhether we could have the eight-hourday in the steel industry without bankrupting the nation.And when I was on the Yale Debating Team in 1921, I rememberthat we lost every debate. The reaSon that we lost every debate was notthat we were not the better debaterson each occasion, but that we alwayshad the affirmative of the proposition, "Resolved that industry shouldrecognize the labor unions." In 1921that was as revolutionary a suggestionas would be the suggestion today that�he United Nations should be turnedInto a real world government. AndI think that anybody who had theaffirmative of that proposition today,and who debated before the audiences that we debated before, wouldSuffer the same fate that we suffered. ... Or does it? .This, then, is the problem; and thisis its importance in the struggle inwhich we are engaged; and this isthe answer to the opposition that isalways offered, that nothing can bedone. We know that it can be done.We have seen it done in educationalinstitutions, and now, thanks to theSupreme Court, we are seeing it doneon a national scale as far as discrimination against Negroes is concerned.The truths inscribed on our heartsare, I think, the truths of the Declaration of Independence, which, as Irecall it, include the proposition thatall men are created equal.The task that we have on a worldscale is not merely to repeat thesepropositions, but to show that thistruth, which is inscribed on ourhearts, is one that we are preparedto put into operation; notably put itinto operation in those institutions which are dedicated to the propagation of our ideals, namely, our institutions of higher learning.The thing about the Declaration ofIndependence that always strikes meis that Thomas Jefferson insisted onthe "self-evidence" of his propoSItIOns. His propositions are selfevident; but they are not self-explanatory; and they are certainly not selfoperating.He expected the instantaneous adherence of mankind because hethough t that these propositions wereinscribed on every human heart; andI think they are. I think that thesepropositions would awaken today thesame response throughout the worldbetween Russia and the United Statesthat they awakened in Thomas Jefferson's day; but in order to havethat response awakened, we must notmerely repeat these phrases; we must.live them. And we must live themparticularly in our institutions ofhigher learning.'(oWe of the high schools and colleges are in charge of educational defense and it is nothing less than the quality ofAmerican life we must work together to defend"LIBE·RAL EDUCATION AND THE DRAFT8y F. Champion WardllTHEN A SOCIETY which isfl' rooted in free values is forcedto struggle for its life, it quickly findsthat not only its life, but the qualityof its life, must be defended.The armed forces have the specialtask of protecting the life of America,and various civil institutions, amongthem the schools and colleges, have�he special task of protectingthe qualIty of American life.We are educators. Therefore, ourPrOfessional duty in this crisis is toconserve free values by instilling theknowledge, love, and practice of freedo:rn in the rising generation.ffrho are "the military?"Yet we are also citizens, and as:itizens we know that in a democracyIn. crisis "the military" is not a re-<\PRIL 1951, mote body of specialists, like the warriors of Plato's Republic. In a modern democracy in crisis, "the military"may be all of us, including those ofus who are educators, and the fate ofall of us, including our hopes foreducation, depends in part upon themilitary outcome.On their part, the defense officialsof a democracy are aware that someof the means of defense which areavailable to a totalitarian state arenot available to them. Among theseforbidden means is the destruction ofliberal education. I am not one ofthose who hold that a free societycannot be defended by force of armswithout losing its freedom in theprocess. On the record of the lasttwo world wars, this notion of anautomatic, inevitable connection between "militarism" and "totalitarian- ism" would appear to be false. However, if in fact such nations asEngland and the U ni ted Statesescaped this supposed consequence of"militarism" following World WarsI and II, I suggest that it was because,in certain important respects, theyrefused to imitate their totalitarianenemies.This was true in the case of liberaleducation. In the United States, theschools and colleges were left free;at least some students were permittedto attend them; and means were provided for veterans to return to themto complete any type of educationthey might choose. In all of theseactions, the free nations expressedtheir devotion to freedom. And theseprovisions, combined with the relativebrevity of the period of full mobilization and conflict, made it possible for17us to conserve our life and the qualityof our life at the same time.The new crises . . .How may this result be securedin the present crisis? This is the common problem of defense which thosecitizens who specialize in educationand those citizens who specialize inmilitary defense must now face together. Will the methods used inWorld War II suffice for the presentemergency? If some of these methodscan be used, and some cannot, whatnew ones may be added now? I suggest that the emergency we have nowentered differs in important respectsfrom the last emergency, and thatthere are new steps which educatorsand defense officials should take inorder to meet these new conditions.These new condi tions may besummed up in the following- statement: for the first time in its history,the United States may have to maintain a large standing army for an indefinite period of time. Such an army,maintained over a period of ten years,will have a very great effect uponan entire educational generation. This18 effect will be especially acute if, asnow seems likely and necessary, aheavy majority of our young menare drafted into the arrtied servicesimmediately upon completing highschool.If the quality of American life isour concern as Americarl. educators,how are we to preserve that qualitywhile recognizing, as citizens, that thevery life of America must also bepreserved? Let us look �t some ofthe plans which are now being discussed.. . . and some solutionsOne plan is to secure a number ofexemptions for those young men whohave some special aptitude for a particular scholastic specialty useful tothe armed services. This plan wouldpostpone the military service of only'a small group, and it would not insure that those who are exemptedwould' receive that education in thearts of 'freedom upon which the quality of our civil life depends. In fact,such exemptions' would divert theseyoung men from liberal studies.A second plan would permit a large proportion of high school graduate�to go to college, these to be choseJlon the basis of some sort of national intelligence or aptitude test. Besidesthe practical difficulties in the waYof this .plan, it is hardly acceptableeither politically or ethically; andeven if such a test could be applie�,and such a plan "sold" to the American people, it is unlikely that thenumbers needed for the rapid development of a large army could be recruited from among those, who werenot permitted to go to college.Thirdly, it has been suggested byPresident Conant that all 18-year�olds be grafted for a two-year term ofservice, after which some would goto college. I think that Mr. Conantis right in concluding .that large-scal.edeferment of high school graduates 15not consistent with the nature of thepresent emergency. I think that he iswrong in concluding that, for all ofthese youths, college and a genera�,liberal education must wait unt11their military service IS completed.Mr. Conant's cakeIf we of the high schools and colleges are willing to cooperate in theTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINECommon defense, I believe that weCan eat President Conant's cake andhave it, too. I understand that theBoard of Regents have recently proPosed that the high schools of NewYork enable young men to completetheir high school work at the age ofseventeen, so that they may have ayear in college before they are drafted.I would go further than the Board ofRegents and ask that selected youngIllen (and women) who have completed the sophomore years in yourhigh schools be encouraged to applyfor immediate admission to college.I would urge that the colleges stopaSking or hoping for special treatIllent and, instead, offer special treatIllen t to these selected high schoolSophomores. If the colleges will doso, they may conclude, as we haveConcluded after fourteen years of exPerience with younger students atChicago, that the best time for youngAmericans to acquire a basic, liberaledUcation is between the ages of fifteen and nineteen. Since 1942, theCollege of the University of Chicagohas awarded the pniversity's Bachelorof Arts degree to students who havec_ompleted its program of general,hberal education. Over two thousandof these students have entered theCollege after completing the secondYear of high school, for the College�as found that ten years of sound prelzrninary training are sufficient to prePare young Americans to benefit fromCollege work.In the present emergency, the number of these younger students shouldbe greatly increased. Every resourceof the colleges should be concentrated Wardupon enabling these students to complete their basic, general educationand receive their Bachelor's degreesin their eighteenth year. They willthen be prepared for specialized training while they are in the armed forcesand after they have returned to civilian life. At Chicago, we are concentrating our scholarship funds uponour younger applicants for admission,and we are planning to make summersession courses available so that thefour-year curriculum of the Collegemay be completed in three calendaryears. At Shimer College, in Mt.Carroll, Illinois, similar steps are beingtaken.G.I.'s need educationWhy have other colleges of liberalarts not yet followed suit? Until veryrecently, they have hoped againsthope that the draft would not takea large majority of high school grad- uates. As President Conant's proposalindicates, the colleges have now beenlargely disabused of this hope. Instead, they hope for another G.!.Bill for all draftees who have finishedtheir term of military service. Perhapsour over-taxed economy will supportanother G.!. Bill; perhaps the government will release all draftees aftertwo years of service; perhaps thesetwenty-year-olds will be willing andable to add two years to their educational lives. But I should not wishto wager that these things will happen.Meanwhile, this plan completely overlooks the important facts that ouryoung men will need while they arein the services the balanced knowledgeand judgment which a sound generaleducation would give them, and thatthe services will need young men whohave been so ed uca ted.When these arguments are put before college administrators, they willusually grant their validity. But then,as a last resort, they will ask anxiouslywhether taking younger students intothe colleges would not alienate theirfriends in the high schools. I cannotbelieve that this is so. When thealternative for our students may beto deny them their chance for collegealtogether, or to postpone and'lengthen their higher education bytwo years, I cannot believe that thosecolleges which seek to cooperate withthe high school in selecting qualifiedyounger students would knock at. aclosed door. For we of the high schoolsand colleges are in charge of educational defense, and it is nothing lessthan the quality of American life thatwe must work together to defend.Check your CalendarFOR THESE JUNE REUNION DATE'SJUNE 6Madame Pandit,Speaker JUNE 8Class ReurrionsJUNE 9Interfraternity Singand Robert M.

AndNebraska was a long way off.In her next note, she rather tartlyreminded him that she was an oldwoman, nearing 70, whose healthwouldn't permit her to linger in Nebraska much longer, visiting friends.Before taking off for Florida, shewanted to entrust her school-product of 43.' years of her life-to thehands of this extraordinary man whowas startling the educational worldwith his new University on the Midway.Frances Shimer was a woman ofgreat will and purpose. She hadbrought Mount Carroll Seminary topioneer country, before even the railroads chugged across northwesternIllinois. In Harper, she. saw a kindredsoul, a man of vision and cast-irondetermination. Two church denominations were courting her favor, inhopes she might leave them her Seminary, but she was determined thatHarper should have it.Her final strategy was a wire: "Donot fail on Thursday." To this, thebusy President at last responded. Aftermaking the long, slow trek acrossthe prairies, he told her: "I was mostforcibly struck with your own character, the work which you had accomplished and the purpose which youhad in mind. I feel that if in somesmall way I could help out this purpose, it would give me the greatestpossible pleasure to do so."A feminist is bornFrances Shimer, born in Milton,New York, in 1826, went off to schoolbefore she was three because hermother, "ill with consumption,"couldn't care for her at home. Shewent on to boarding school, with highhopes of becoming a doctor. But themedical profession then was cool tothe idea of lady doctors. The effectof this disappointment on her life cannot be exaggerated. If not medicine,she vowed, then teaching. Equal educational opportunities for womenwere to become her lifelong passion.John Wilson, a friend of herbrother-in-law's, had emigrated to theprairies of northwestern Illinois. Hewrote back about the deplorable lackof educational facilities in the frontiercountry, and suggested that Francescould do a lot to remedy the situation.This was all the encouragement sheneeded.20 AFTER 98 YEARS ...SHIMER STILL PIONEERSBy L.

Under John. Wilson's�egis, nine men of the village obligIngly incorporated a subscriptionschool. On May 11, 1853, 25 boys andgirls attended the first classes atMoun t Carroll Seminary-mostly inthe age group 12 to 20. Frances'dream was reality. She had founded aschool whose classes were open togirls as well as boys, and though later,by public demand, she added a few"frills" in the girls' training, the curriculum was the same for both. Shebrought the first piano to the area,and Mount Carroll became the firstmusic center.F our years later the Trustees hadgiven up the Seminary as a failure.But not Miss Wood, who took the titleto the school for the cost of the building, cleared up the debt, and went onto expand it. A wing of the originalbUilding was just nearing completionwhen the '57 Money Panic struck.Contractors could not meet theiragreements, laborers struck, bankswould make no loans. Undaunted,�rances personally finished the buildIng. She bought paint, paper andglass at wholesale prices, installed theglass herself, painted the wood workherself, papered the rooms herself. In1876, when a second building becameAPRIL, 1951 a dire necessity, she found even thelowest bid far in excess of her budget.Again, she took over the job. Her ownland supplied limestone for the foundations, clay for the brick and treesfor the lumber. She was her ownarchitect, engineer and foreman.Land in lieu 0/ tuitionToday her school might be labeled"self-help" or "cooperative." In theevening, girls set the yeast for thebread. At daybreak, boys baked it inoutdoor ovens. Vegetables and fruitswere raised on campus and canned ordried. A barn stabled milk cows anddriving teams. Cleaning and cookingwere done by students, under supervision. Notes were taken from thosewho couldn't pay cash, and collectedyears later with a little 'interest. Landin seven different states was acceptedas payment on fees, or as settlementon notes.Then in 1857, Frances married.Henry Shimer was a naturalist by profession, who had made several walking trips-two from Minnesota all theway to Texas-collecting specimensof plants and animals and making aliving with his trowel. He had lent a hand with construction work on theSeminary.With his wife's stimulus and encouragement, he went on to becomea successful doctor and scientist, whocontributed articles liberally to scientific journals and specimens to theSmithsonian Institute. He was alsocanny enough to invest in Florida realestate. He was a strong, silent andsomewhat strange man who left quitea tidy estate to his wife, on his death.I t was this estate, plus her school,which Frances Ann Wood Shimerwanted to entrust to President Harperin the winter of '95.After his first meeting with herHarper presented a memorandum tohis Board of Trustees, signed by himself and Mrs. Shimer. She agreed totransfer title to her school to the U niversity of Chicago, with the understanding it would be an organic partof the University. It. was also to benamed "The Shimer Academy of theUniversity of Chicago." The University would be heir to her personalestate and that of her husbandproperties valued at about $150,000.A committee visited the school andmade a report to the Trustees, recommending it be incorporated as "TheFrances Shimer Academy of the Uni-21versity of Chicago" but that it remain an autonomous institution. . . ."A special Board of Trustees, actingin connection with the Trustees ofthe University, shall accept the property and administer the trust ... thisBoard shall consist of 15 members, ofwhom three shall be representativesof the graduates of the school, fourof the local constituency residing inor near Mount Carroll and eight ofthe University of Chicago; it beingunderstood that the President of theUniversity, the Comptroller, and theSecretary of the Board of the U niversity, with five others named by representatives of the University shall bemembers of the Board."This was a wiser move, said thecommittee than merging the schoolwith the University for ... "its independence would be lost; its individuali ty would be impaired; it wouldhave little hold on the alumni and little power of appeal to the public."Until his death, President Harperserved as Chairman of the Board ofTrustees. Thomas W. Goodspeed,Henry A. Rust, Alonzo K. Parker,Frank J. Miller and Lathan A. Crandall, all of the University, were boardmembers.For girls onlyWhen her young men marched offto join the Union Army, during theCivil War, Mrs. Shimer continued herseminary without them, as a girl'sschooL However, trustees of the newly-formed Academy thought of restoring co-education. A report "favors theplan of admitting young men, graduates of the High School, as day pupilsin the Frances Shimer Academy. Mrs.Shimer decidedly objects to this plan,having understood that the Academywould be continued, for a time atleast, as a preparatory school foryoung ladies only. Considering this,the Committee recommends thatthe matter be dropped for the present." So co-education was to be postponed-for 50 years.Mr. William Parker McKee islisted as Dean from 1897 through1930, but from his title, and correspondence with President Harper, itis obvious that the President of theBoard, Mr. Harper himself, was regarded as the actual administrativehead of the school. Under his leadership, a junior college was established-one of America's first (Harper hadfounded the junior college movementby dividing the University into aJunior (Academic) and Senior (University) Colleges).As a matter of fact, most academiesand colleges in the Chicago area were22 at one time affiliated with the University, Beloit, Kalamazoo, and the Wayland Academy among them. TheUniversity, with its greater resources,could provide examinations, inspectthe schools and advise the faculties.Affiliation also served as a kind ofaccredi ta tion whereby graduatescould be admitted to the University.In the 20's, as curricula became morestandardized and accrediting agencieswere set up, the University severedits ties of affiliation. But not withShimer. It was an historic relationship Shimer Academy of the University ofChicago entered into a new contractual affiliation. Aaron J. Brumbaugh, who had served as Dean ofthe College of the University duringthe early years of Mr. Hutchins' NewPlan, became Shimer's president.Men were once more admitted toShimer which now offers "The Chicago Plan," placement exams and all.The University provides all admissions and testing services and assistsin planning the curriculum throughconsultation and the "lend-lease" ofToday, both men and women students are welcomed to the home of President andMrs. A.

Shimer College,while retaining its excellent music andart courses, gains a larger studentbody, lower costs for certain expensiveeducational services, and enjoys theprestige of association with the U niversity.The University, of course, gains anunusual opportunity to demonstratehow its "Chicago Plan" can operateon a small campus. President Colwellsaid, in talking with the Admissionsstaff, that the relatively populous College of the University demonstrateshow the plan operates on a large campus, while Shimer will prove theplan's workability on a small one.THE· UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEThus crrtics cannot say "You can doit with your large student body but... "or "You can do it with a handfulof students but ... "Some like a small schoolAs a College Representative, Ihave traveled from Brooklyn to Sheridan, Wyoming, from Detroit to K�nsas City, visiting a hundred �llg?schools during recent months. PrmCIpals, advisers, parents, teachers, haveall told me they were glad to knowabout Shimer. They say: "I want youto talk with Tom, Dick, Harry, Maryand Susan. They are interested inChicago. But I also want you to seeBenry and Elizabeth. Elizabeth wantsto go to a small school, and Henry'smother doesn't want him to go to college in a large city."A group of a dozen students metme in Sheridan, Wyoming, one evening last January. Half of them hadtaken the U of C scholarship examination last year. One had won a substantial award and another a certifiCate of merit. They were the best students in the junior and senior classes.And they were enormously curiousabout the Chicago College plan.I told them about the kind of eduCation they could expect here: aboutthe placement tests, which exempt astudent from taking studies he hasalready mastered, the comprehensivesystem, the 14 basic courses (in theBUmanities, Social Sciences, Natural�ciences, the History of Western CivIlization, English, Mathematics, andforeign languages), and about howthis good, general education can begeared in with specialized or professional education.I said: "I've been talking about akind of education, that is unique inthree ways. First it is a four-year col.lege program which begins two yearsearlier (with your junior and senioryear in high school) and assumes anadditional three-year period of astudy, if you go on for a Master's degree."We have thrown away high schooltlnits and semester or quarter hoursof credit as a yardstick of achievement. When you first arrive, you areplaced in your studies by placementexaminations; you are graduatedafter you demonstra te furtherachievement on comprehensive exalhinations."It is unique _in content. It is ageneral, not vocational education. It:vill teach you how to think aboutldeas and problems in all of the fieldsof knowledge, by reading and byslllall discussion-groups in the classrOom.APRIL, 1951 "Y ou can find this kind of education in the College of the Universityor at. Shimer. If you go to Shimernext September, you will, take thesame Entrance Test, and the Admissions Committee will not admit a student for Shimer who could not qualify for Chicago (Though frankly,President Brumbaugh hopes to havemore students in the middle of thecurve) . You would take the sameplacement tests, h ave the samecourse readings, and be held for thesame comprehensive examinations.You may even be taught by some ofthe same faculty, since there are nowChicago men at Shimer. Shimer's ABwill have the same meaning as a Chicago degree. You would receive thesame consideration in applying for aDivision or Professional School of theUniversity as a graduate of the College of the University.The big difference"The big difference, is one of location, size and environment. The College is part of a metropolitan univer-, sity. It is vigorous, stimulating, exciting, dynamic. The presence of outstanding scholars and teachers inmany fields justify the University'sreputation as one of the really greatUniversities in the world. The cityalone is exciting-there are museums,institutes, music halls, factories, andslums for you to explore."Shimer is a small country-seat town, 125 miles west of Chicago, twohours and a quarter on the MidwestHiawatha. Its Georgian Colonialbuildings are set in a beautiful 30-acre campus. (The original buildings,partially handbuilt by Frances Shimer, burned down a number of yearsago). It is removed from the noiseand confusion of a city. Some 95%of its students-and half the facultvlive, study, work and play in its h�lls.There is consequently a great senseof community. It has an excellentreputation in art, music and drama,Without additional fees, you are encouraged to develop your tal en ts inthese fields. You can even tee off fornine holes of golf just outside the Science Hall."It is one Plan, with two campuses."Take your choice!"From October through March., Mr.Wilson is a man constantly on the go.r au are likely to meet him anywherefrom Maine through' Calilornia, ashe travels the country-in his capacityas College Representative for theOffice of Admissions-explaining Chicago's famous college plan to highschool students, their parents, principals, teachers etc., and recruitingyoung people for the Colleges of theUniversity of Chicago and Shimer.He has an affectionate, firsthandknowledge of Shimer, since he servedas Dean there for four years, and hasbeen. an enthusiastic U of C spokesman for the past three years.Shimer's Georgian colonial buildings are set in a beautiful 30·acre campus.23APRIL EVENTSSunday, April 1RELIGIOUS SERVICE-Rockefeller Memorial Chapel (59th andWoodlawn), John B.

First of all, theygive an unmistakable and emphatic\varning to the Soviet Union that itCannot attack Europe without attacking the United States. And, second,they are a guarantee against internalsubversion in the countries west ofthe Iron Curtain.The idea which is sold to us by ourgovernment that those few divisionsOr a few more can stem the tide ofthe Russian land armies, once a shooting war takes place, is, I think, abSOlutely illusory. General Eisenhowerhas today ten divisions under his comtnand, against about two hundreddivisions of the Soviet Union. Thisfall he is supposed to have twentydivisions under his command. Today�he Swiss army is the strongest armyIn western Europe. And people talkabout the defense of western Europe,On the Elbe, the Rhine, or, anywhereelse! Europe is being defended here,and nowhere else. I t has been defended in this way in the past, and Ialll sure that, if it can be defended atall, it will be defended so in the future.Now, it is the material preponderance of American power, expressedand symbolized in the American suPeriority of atomic weapons, whichhas restrained the Soviet Union thusfar. This superiority is about to cometo an end, for in a few years, at most,APRIL, 1951 the Soviet Union will also have astockpile of atomic bombs. The particular deterrent which we possess today, and which we have possessed toan even greater extent in the past, isslowly melting away. The questionthen is what we must do in those fewyears which are left to us, before theSoviet Union has as potent an atomicarsenal as we have.Be strong and negotiateIn my opinion there are threethings we must do. First of all, wemust strengthen the United States asmuch and as wisely as possible. Second, we ought not to miss any opportunity for mitigating the conflicts thatcan be mitigated.It is interesting to note that sostaunch an anti-Communist and foeof Russian imperialism as Mr. Winston Churchill has, in one speech afterthe other (not reported in this country, or but very incompletely reported), stressed those two things-getstrong and be ready to negotiatewhenever there is an opportunity todo so. As late as November 30 andDecember 14 of last year, in two magnificent speeches in the House of Commons, Mr. Churchill has made thosepoints.The third thing we must do is perhaps the most difficult thing of all- to instill into our government thespirit of leadership which is so sadlylacking. It has been said that in thepast, in times of crisis, the UnitedStates has always been fortunateenough to have a great President tolead it. Today we are confrontedwith the greatest crisis in our history,and nobody can say that there is agreat President to lead us.Our whole constitutional system, asfar as the conduct of foreign affairs isconcerned, evolves around the President. The foreign policies of theUnited States are as good as the President is, who must initiate and executethem. At present we are in the presence of a most tragic involvement,for the Administration, frequentlyknowing what ought to be done, hasnot had the courage to go to the people and tell them what ought to bedone. The Administration is obsessedwi th the idea of the next elections.While it is certainly fatal in a democracy for the government to be toomuch ahead of the people, it is noless fatal for it to be too far behindthe people. It is here, I think, thatall of us have a mission to fulfil-tomake clear to this Administration thatit can expect more wisdom and morecourage and more spirit of sacrifice onthe part of the American people thanit has thus far deemed possible.25CLASS1898Mary Alves Long of Columbia, SouthCarolina, has written her autobiographywhich was published by the Duke University Press.

Tom Wilson went to the f�rside of the room and sat down. This was hisfirst "big" call, on his own, as a New YorkLife agent and he was nervous, franklynervous.Tom picked up a magazine and turned a:few pages idly. He had that same tense feeling in his stomach that he had the day hepitched his first big baseball game in college.Tom put the magazine down and let his mindwander back to the baseball diamond andtha t first big game.He remembered warming up, he and thecatcher, standing along the first base lin�.Then Tom had gone over to talk with hismother, who was sitting just behind thescreen where she could see every pi tch, Herunderstanding smile turned out to be thebest part of the warm-up.Tom had been so proud of her, looking assmart as any of the girls and, when shelaughed, looking almost as young. NobodYwould have guessed that she had borne thecares of the family all alone, helped only bythe memories of her husband and an incomefrom the life insurance he had so thoughtfully left her.Tom had been proud of his father, too, f�rthe love and forethought which had made Itpossible for his mother and himself to In,:eand grow, not hemmed in by want. In fact, Itwas the deep realization of all the things hfeinsurance had made possible for his familyand could make possible for others-whi�hhad led Tom to become a New York Lifeagen t himself ...The receptionist's voice punctured Torn'sthoughts. "Mr. Kent will see you now.""Fine," he said. He got up and started toMr. Kent's office. The warm-up was over.He had the confidence he needed now.NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY51 Madison Avenue, New York 10. N.
