I've isolated my pet-a-tete, whichis the University of Chicago Alumni Foundation and specifically its Alumni Gift. Myfavorite wife warns me that if I don'tstart leaving it at the office, or at least,at home, it will isolate me. On the wayto a party recently, I was being briefedby you know whom, "Try and let theconversation go around the room twice ormaybe three times before you work it in,"she whispered as we left the sidelines.The opening gambit came much before I had a chance to warm my ears and certainly much before the prescribed encirclements. One of the group, an alumnusof about twenty-five years departure, tosseda comment in my direction, as pretty asa lob from Willie Schaeffer's tennis racquet."You're connected with the University,"he tossed, "I see by the papers that thenew chancellor announced that the schoolis in the hole a million dollars this year.That's a lot of dough."I looked at my wife helplessly, almostfrantically, and just caught the slight vertical nod of her head. The coast had beencleared."It sure is a lot of dough to have tomake up," I answered, hoping that theconversation would not go off on a tangentabout the price of meat or deficit spending."I did my bit," he came back. "Whenmy father died ten years ago and left mea little money, I gave $500 to the AlumniFund."That's fine, really fine." I commented."And as you know the University put itto good use then.""Then. What do you mean then?" hequestioned me."I mean that was ten years ago. The Alumni Gift is a yearly need of the University, The annual gift provides a regular means by which alumni like yourselfwho are grateful for their education canexpress gratitude in a tangible way. It'slike wanting to renew an old friendshiponce a year."As I was going full speed ahead, he interrupted, "You know, Jim, I never lookedat it that way before. Come to think ofit the newspaper article did mention thattuition only takes care of one-third of thecost each year. Guess that was true inmy time, too.""Chancellor Kimpton also pointed outin his statement that the average pay ofa teacher at the University is less thanthat earned by the workers at a lot ofindustrial plants," my wife joined in."Well, I'm doing a lot better than that,"he replied. "I'm sure glad to know thesefacts. By the way, I'd like to show youpictures of our kids. I want them to goto the University someday."On our way home I promised my wifethat I would wait until the conversationhad made the rounds twice or maybe threetimes before I talked Alumni Gift— nexttime.—/.

The Westminster Press, 1951. 298 pp. $4.50.This book is not for the tender-minded.It is not for those who cherish the comforting illusion that all the churches areequally compatible with democracy. Noris it for those who hold that good tasteand democratic tolerance should restrainone from sharp words against any churcheven though it promotes absolutism inpolitics.In face of the increasing appeal ofauthoritarianism in the 20th century,and particularly because of the growingconcern about the current controversiesconnected with Roman Catholicism inAmerica, a group of Protestant leaders,now organized as a commission on Religious Liberty of the National Councilof Churches, assigned to Professor Nicholsof the Federated Theological Faculty ofthe University of Chicago, the task of recording and evaluating the roles thathave been played by the churches in thewhole modern movement of liberaldemocracy and in the countermovementsagainst it.With sharpness of conception, withan impressive marshalling of the relevanthistorical data, and with no mincing ofwords, Professor Nichols, employing asort of double-entry ledger, has givenan account of the debt that liberaldemocracy owes to free religion and thatpolitical absolutism owes to authoritarian religion.In this highly instructive and veryreadable study the author considers onlythe modern sources of democracy (inthe churches) . Moreover, he attributes thesources and supports from the churchesonly to Protestantism, and even thenonly to what he calls "Puritan Protestantism." Under this rubric he includesmainly the "three old denominations" ofEnglish Nonconformity and their American counterparts, the Congregationalistsand Presbyterians (and their offspring, theUnitarians) and the Baptists, though hegives credit also to the Quakers and tothe Anglicans as influenced by the Nonconformists. (Evangelicalism, by contrast,had at first no interest in politics.)Seventy-five years ago the prodemo-cratic role of left-wing Puritanism received classical description from the penof the Roman Catholic historian LordActon (and Professor Nichols might wellhave cited it as a brief characterizationfor this side of the ledger) : "The ideathat religious liberty is the generatingprinciple of civil, and that civil is thenecessary condition of religious, was adiscovery reserved for the seventeenthcentury. . . That great political idea,sanctifying freedom and consecrating itto God, teaching men to treasure theliberties of others as their own, and todefend them for the love of justice andcharity more than as a claim of right,has been the soul of what is great andgood in the progress of the last two- hundred years."From this Puritan Protestantism andits descendants came the principles ofsocial organization characteristic of liberal democracy and also the religioussanctions for these principles: law above the executive, the duty of resistance tothe tyrant, the determination of policyby free discussion, the democratic principle of consent, the principle of "the loyalopposition" and the protection of minority rights, the demand that the statebe ecclesiastically neutralized and thatthe church be free of political interference, and the vocational responsibilities of citizenship in freedom of conscience under God and the moral lawand through individual participation inpolitics and in voluntary associations.In all of these respects the left-wingPuritans "by analogy" carried over intothe common life the insight and experience they had gained from their newreading of the Bible and from free-church organization. Here ProfessorNichols has drawn upon the researchesand the patterns of interpretation whichwe associate with such historians asTroeltsch, Foster, Gooch, Halevy, LordLindsay, and Bainton, though he givesless credit to the British legal traditionand to the Enlightenment than do someof these scholars.His account of right-wing Protestantism, particularly of German (in contrastto Scandinavian) Lutheranism and theocratic Calvinism, presents the contrastscorresponding to the characteristics of theleft wing. Bismarck is a symbol of German Lutheran absolutism, Lincoln thesymbol of Protestant liberal democracy.Professor Nichols' general view ofRoman Catholicism in its relation todemocracy is implied in the statement,"The leaders of political Catholicism inGermany, with the support of the Vatican, deliberately preferred Hitler todemocracy," as they preferred also theatheist dictators Mussolini and Franco.The extensive account of the Vatican'spolicies throughout the modern period,of the antidemocratic encyclicals, and ofthe Vatican's successive, crushing attackson democracy and on Catholic politicalliberalism during the last century anda half, he presents with documentaryevidence and with deserved sharpness ofcriticism.Nichols commends the view of theRoman Catholic historian ChristopherDawson, that "there seems no doubt thatthe Catholic social ideals set forth in theencyclicals of Leo XIII and Pius IX havefar more affinity with those of Fascismthan with those of. either Liberalism orSocialism." The Catholic principles ofpolitics, he says, are now exemplified inSoviet Russia— "authority, censorship, theleadership principle, social status, andhierarchy." The fact that many RomanCatholics in the United States havefavored political liberalism he views asevidence of influences from outside Catholicism and of the Catholic tendency toset "institutional advantage before principle, democratic or otherwise" (a somewhat captious judgment when consideredalongside his claim that "in the Protestant discussion, positions were taken onissues on grounds of principle, of loveand justice") . He recounts, as an illustration of the American Catholic laity'signorance of Roman principles, Al Smith'sfamous comment in response to the question as to whether he would adhere toPius IX's encyclical The Syllabus ofErrors: "What the hell is an "inkiklika?"The two contrary church traditions,the prodemocratic and the antidemocratic, confront each other today in asort of goldfish bowl, particularly in theUnited States which has become the greatCatholic world-power of the twentiethcentury (replacing the role of Austria in the nineteenth) . Professor Nichols appears to hold that Roman Catholicism, inour bureaucratized, industrialized, militarized society, enjoys great advantage inthe power struggle, because of its unityand enforced obedience and because ofits adeptness at diplomatic strategy andat censorship.One must say that this constitutes anincreasing danger for the future ofdemocracy, particularly in view of thefact that prodemocratic Protestantism (asProfessor Nichols points out) with itsemphasis on local autonomy, individualinitiative and responsibility, and themethod of discussion, may not be ableto muster "enough self-discipline, organ-ization, and unity to meet the problems"of a mass society becoming increasinglycollectivized. Perhaps the viability of (thealways precarious) Catholic political liberalism in America will depend partiallyupon the strength and aggressiveness ofother church and nonchurch groups inthe translation of democratic principles inthe new mass society and in the newworld situation. Professor Nichols is impressed, however, by the impotence andirrelevance of Protestant churches today,"in the whole range of their activities."All but a small minority of these churcheswould appear to have lost much of theirearlier dynamic.Professor Nichols' book demonstratesthe truth of the first sentence of thefirst chapter, "Over 15 centuries of Christian history give the lie to those Americanpreachers who are accustomed to identifyChristianity and democracy. . . And evenin the last few generations only a minority of Christians, only one tradition within the Church, has been consistently affiliated with political democracy."

By Robert Dubin. New York:Prentice-Hall, 1951. $5.50.Robert Dubin, '36, AM '40, PhD '47,Associate Professor of Sociology andManagement, the University of Illinois,has approached a difficult and complexsubject— that of understanding humanbehavior in organizations— with the conviction that it is possible, and important, to construct a system of principlesabout such behavior, based upon thesystematic knowledge and insights nowavailable about the sociology of organizations, and that such theoretical conceptsare eminently practical.Professor Herbert Blumer (Sociology)has written an introduction to the bookwhich serves as an able statement ofthe central theme to which Dubin addresses himself, and an evaluation of theexcellent contribution which this bookmakes to an understanding if it. Mr.Blumer points out that this volume dealswith an increasingly crucial problem inthe administration of modern industry-that of understanding the human andsocial elements in the operation of industrial enterprises. He notes that inthe vast complex structure of modernindustry, the present-day industrial executive is required more and more tobe an administrator and "is inclinedto undertake this task in the same spirit4 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEin which one constructs a machine outof passive and amenable parts."In viewing industrial organization asa machine-like coordination of separateindustrial tasks there is always a dangerof failing to see clearly or to appreciatefully the social structure in which thiscoordination becomes embedded. Everyindustrial administrator, of course, hassome realization of the human relationsinvolved in the industrial arrangement.He knows that the separate industrialtasks are performed by human beings;he knows that such human beings develop personal relations with each otherwhich are sometimes beneficial and sometimes detrimental to the effective operation of the organization. In one wayor another he has to take into accountthe fact that the separate industrial tasksdo not have the passivity of the partsof a machine. Yet, in general, the industrial administrator has only vague,fragmentary and frequently distortedknowledge of the fabric of social relations that are enmeshed with the industrial organization. . . \"These observations merely call attention to the important need of understanding and appreciating the structureof human and social relations in an industrial enterprise— a need which is constantly growing with the extension anddifferentiation of modern' industrial effort."This book by Professor Dubin provides framework for the. development ofsuch understanding and appreciation.He has performed admirably the task ofassembling the best thought and reasoned judgment now available on thetopic of human organization in industry.More important, he has woven suchseparate treatments into a strikinglyclear and unique structure of theory. Industrial administrators and students willgain from this theory a perspectivewhich is so nicely worked out that itmay be applied readily in innumerableplaces with valuable results. Finally, inthe true spirit of an empirical socialscientist Dubin has supplied a rich volume of actual cases that show concretelythe various ways in which human organization enters into the industrial pursuit. Readers of his discussion will benefit from these three marked contributionsof the author."— A .P.Briefly notedJoseph G.

We call it the Milky Way.In some ways it has been easier forastronomers to understand othergalaxies than to pin down the characteristics of the Milky Way. The othergalaxies are a long way off, but ourown is too close. Parts of our galaxyblock off other parts from our vision.We can't in short, see the galaxy forthe stars.Astronomical research at the University's Yerkes Observatory now hasclearly indicated, however, that thegalaxy we know as the Milky Way isshaped like a pinwheel. Away out atthe edge of the flat spiral is the sun.The sun's place in the spinninggalaxy is strikingly demonstrated bymeans of a model of the sector of theMilky Way which is in the sun'svicinity. This model is the first of itskind ever made. It is the creation ofProfessor William W. Morgan, '23,(See cover) and two of his Yerkescolleagues, Stewart Sharpless andDonald Osterbrock.To ascertain the sun's location inthe galaxy, the trio searched theskies with a fast 140-degree wide-angle camera developed by a pair offormer Yerkes men, Louis G. Henyey,Ph.D '37, and Jesse L. Greenstein.Professor Morgan and his co-workers located a number of bright clouds,the red emission regions typical ofhydrogen gas when it is excited.These clouds, it had been shown byDrs. EHwin Hubble and WalterBaade, at the Mt. Wilson Observatory, are among the characteristics ofthe spiral arms. The locations of hotblue supergiant stars, which also helpto outline the galactic arms, were ascertained with the aid of spectro-photographs made with the Yerkes40-inch telescope. The computations and plottingwhich followed showed that the solarsystem is located on the inside ofone of the Milky Way's spiral arms,far removed from the center of thegalaxy.The galactic tentacle in which thesun lies stretches out beyond the sunfor another 1,000 light years.

(Since measurements of Andromeda have not yet been firmlyestablished, some of these calculationsmay be subject to later revision.) At its distance from the galacticcenter, the solar system is believed torequire 200 to 250 million years tocomplete a single circuit around thewhirling galaxy's center. If this is so,the earth has made only a dozen orso galactic revolutions since it wasWORLD'S LARGESTMost well-informed persons, if asked to name the largest telescope inthe world, would name the famous, new 200-inch giant at Mt. Palomar,in California. Yet this is only a part of the story. Palomar is the biggestreflecting telescope. It would be just as true to say that the largest telescope is at rerkes Observatory, for the rerkes instrument is the world'slargest refracting telescope.The reflecting telescope is a big concave mirror; it is this type of instrument which is generally built today, and which has been well publicized. The refracting telescope is a gigantic version of the old-fashionedmariner's spyglass.The 40-inch rerkes lens was cast in 1895, and it has now been in operation for 55 years. It remains not only the largest- of its type, but still,after many a summer, the best for some of astronomy's purposes.

PHEMISTER Excerpts from Dean Lowell T. Coggeshall's addressat the memorial service honoring Dr. PhemisterWE ARE a privileged group because we consider ourselves tobe friends of Dr. Dallas B. Phemister.If the words great and good can bedescriptive of anyone, he was trulyworthy of them. His contributionsand achievements, the esteem andaffection in which he is held, makedifficult a fitting and worthy tributeto his character, as a physician anda man.The medical center of the University reflects so much of his spirit, attitude, and ideals that his presence willbe felt always in every patient's room,classroom, laboratory, and corridor.Yet in spite of any rationalization wemay make, there is a shock in therealization that from this time forward we must go on without him.Dr. Phemister was one of the outstanding figures of a period whichhas produced revolutionary advancesin medicine. He contributed his fullshare and more to this great development, through teaching, research, anda long and distinguished career as aclinical surgeon.But even more he contributed tothis progress by his progressive andinquiring attitude, his devotion to thescientfic and expermental aspect ofmedicine. By his own example anddedication he exerted an effective andcontinuous force on the direction ofmedical interest and activity.Nearly five years ago, Dr. Phemister reached the University retiring age of 65, his skill and his zest askeen as it had ever been. The University fortunately was able to persuade him to accept, though he wasemeritus, and continue his full-timeappointment. In it he maintained hisregular schedule, with but one ex-DALLAS B. PHEMISTERception. His scrupulous concern forothers led him to make the rulethat he would not attend any administrative conferences, lest hispresence appear to be an interference with the authority of his successor. We are grateful for the in spiration and guidance he providedfrom the start.To those of us who knew andloved him, these platitudes seempathetically inadequate. His truecharacter can best be expressed inhis own words. I have a copy ofprobably his last letter, in which hewrote to a friend who, after beinghospitalized, wrote in complimentary terms about Dr. Phemister, hisstaff, and the school. In the replyhe stated:/ am deeply touched, but in reality what I have done is not nearlyas significant as might appear on thesurface, since the Department hasbeen made by a number of men whohave given their best efforts alon°various lines and over long periodsof time. About all the chairman ofa department does is to do the besthe can as teacher, clinician, and investigator, in the hope that it maybe an example that inspires othersto make an endeavor, and see to itthat the men in the department areprovided with good facilities to workthemselves.That was Dr. Phemister, who wasalways motivated by altruism, self-effacement, and humility. He neverhad to think what was the rightthing to do — he knew it.In the future we cannot do whathe would have done, and we willmiss him sorely. But what we areabout to do will be better because ofhim.Seeing Double?Maybe You're Just TiredJ~\ROWSINESS as well as drink-LS ing can produce douBle vision,according to an article in the Frenchpublication, "L'Annee Psychologique."¦ The eye fatigue that results in seeing double is part of the body's dailycycle of sleep and wakefulness, of highand low temperatures, Dr. NathanielKleitman, Professor of Physiology atthe University, says in the publicationof his latest experiment.Other symptoms of eye fatigue as sociated with drowsiness are blinkingand slowing down of eye movementsin tracking objects in the line ofvision.Dr. Kleitman, known for his workon the connection between body temperature and the human sleep cycletested the vision of 13 men and fivewomen kept awake during a thirty-hour period.Of the subjects tested only thosewho showed symptoms of drowsinesshad difficulty seeing properly. Thedecline in seeing ability began shortlyajter midnight, reached its peak between seven and nine in the morning.Then, it began to recover spontaneously, even though the subjectswere kept wide awake. By two thenext afternoon, vision was almost as efficient as it had been at the startof the experiment.This discovery of the effects ofdrowsiness on vision may ' help account for the relatively high rate ofautomobile accidents during the earlymorning hours. The midnight tofour a. m. period is the third mostdangerous period of the entire twenty-four, in terms of fatal automobile accidents, even though traffic is relatively light during this time.On the basis of these observations,Kleitman advises drivers to pull offthe road in the early morning hours,even though there is no chance to goto bed for a night's sleep. Later inthe morning, when the muscular balance of the eyes returns spontaneously,driving may be safely resumed.10 • THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINENOTED STILL LIFE BY GEORGES BRAQUE TAKES TITLE FROM NEWSPAPER WHICH WAS DRAPED IN THE ARRANGEMENTA Fool About PaintingAfter an orgy of formal criticismlet's take a look at the picturesBy James I. GilbertI THINK I should warn you at theoutset that I am what I wouldcall a fool about painting, and, whatis perjiaps worse, I am not ashamedof it.Certainly I suspect that my tasteis more catholic than discriminatingin this field, and that my appetite anddigestion are more remarkable thanmy palate. But it seems to me possiblethat, here and now, there is something to be said for a good appetitein the arts. The metaphor of the artist castinghis pearls before swine does not seemto me to represent the relation between the contemporary artist andThis article is a condensed version of one of a current alumni lecture series at the Univeristy by JamesI. Gilbert, who is Assistant Professorof the Humanities in the College.In an early paragraph, ProfessorGilbert refers to Daniel Catton Rich,'26, director of the Art Institute ofChicago, a previous speaker in theseries. his audience. The swine may miss apearl but never an oyster, and thereare many more oysters than pearls inthis world. I picture the contemporaryartist as running more risk of castinghis oysters before — let us say — ant-eaters.You will not be surprised that, withthis point of view, I cherish the blindconviction that the Elizabethans werecomplete fools about poetry, that thequattrocento Florentine was quite insanely addicted to painting, that theFEBRUARY, 1952 11HENRI MATISSE S BLUE WINDOW DISPLAYS WELL-PLANNED SPONTANEITY19th century German was nuts on thesubject of music, etc.So that when I make a plea that weapproach contemporary painting witha good appetite and with a completeabsence of any fear of being madefools of (for no one can make a foolout of a fool), I think I am asking nomore than that attitude which hasalways been necessary to any art inits period if it was destined toflourish.At any rate with my obsession forpainting, it was naturally very gratifying to me that Mr. Rich (in a preceding paper) placed such great emphasison painting and made such an elo quent appeal that we regard it assomething more than a formal arrangement of shapes and colors.As he said, our period has seensomething of an orgy of formal criticism. This fascinating game can addsomething to our understanding of theart. But the significance of a paintingeludes formal analysis, and I am afraidthat it cannot always be stated inrational terms.I would say that in addition to giving us an increased self-consciousnessand interpreting the needs and aspirations of a period, painting often includes much that I would call pureaffirmation, a kind of celebration of life in art. These different possibilities,to be sure, are not separable but combined, and when I speak of the celebration of life, I do not exclude paintings which deal with its most tragicaspects or its most serious problems.Among the pleasures which art cangive, the pleasure of a sense of increased self-consciousness and thepleasure of catharsis are not the least.But I sometimes think that artistswhom we choose to regard as purelylyrical are often better understoodthan those who provoke a great dealof intellectual curiosity. For example,I often fear that the earnest study ofCezanne's formal innovations hassometimes obscured the appreciationof his immense affirmation of the joyof life, his unfailing ability to enchantthe eye and move the heart; whereasthe purely euphoric aspects of Rr-noir's paintings are always presentto us.Lyrical agePerhaps some of you may be inclined to think that we are not livingin a lyrical age, that the problems,trials, and tribulations of our centuryhave obscured that gift in us. I amhere to maintain the opposite. I thinkthat our century and our country haveseen a great outpouring of lyricism.We should never forget that theinnovations in painting which markedthe first 20 years of the century werenot mere intellectual inventions, buta great instinctive throwing-off ofinhibitions and conventions whichstifled free communication. The assault upon the painting conventionsof the 19th century was really an assault upon the barriers to communication between artist and audience.Much has been said about the logicof cubism, but my favorite statementis that of Braque himself, who said:"For me cubism, that is to say mycubism, is a means which I have created for my own use. The purposeof it was above all to bring paintingwithin the scope of my talents. Asidefrom this reason, cubism hardly interests me ; what I love above all is paint-ing." 'Certainly when we look at theBraque still life, "Le Jour," paintedin 1929, we can observe the devicesof synthetic cubism. We note that thetable is seen from several points ofview simultaneously, the top is seen inreverse perspective, and the wholesubject matter is broken up and12 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEIN "WOMAN WEEPING," PICASSO ADDED TO IMPACT BY "NEW" TECHNIQUESbroken into by a pattern of flat shapes,one superimposed on another in themanner of a collage. Over and over,these shapes repeat certain motifs : theknife blade, the circle, the right angle.Dark lines on white become white lineson dark as these pattern shapes breakup the wood paneling of the wall. Thesimple visual image is destroyed andreassembled as a visual experience.But when we say these things, thepicture sounds very complex, asthough it had been painted to perplexour understanding and tease our ingenuity. Nothing could be morefalse, I feel. The visual experience iscommunicated with the utmost simplicity, directness and clarity.What I see when I look at my owncluttered table is a chaos of infinitecomplexity. But here the artist hasbrought order, clarity, and the greatcalm of an integrated vision into thewelter of the world. The painting hasthe tension and inner movement oflife, but stabilized, purified, andbrought under the control of measure.One thinks of Braque's other dictum,"I love the law that corrects emotion,"and one believes him.I can no longer see this picture asbeing in any sense experimental. Itsconventions seem as natural and asreasonable as any conventions, andperfectly inevitable. No doubt theyreflect the space-sense of our period,but that observation does not helpexpress what I feel about the picture.I have stressed the words calm,order, measure, and clarity, and indeed for me this is a classical composition, with its symmetry, its cool,clear, light, its inner reserve, its frankness of statement. But all these wordsconvey a certain chill which I am farfrom feeling, and I am reduced toquoting a line from Baudelaire's"LTnvitation Au Voyage"- — "Thereall is order, beauty, luxury, calm, andvoluptuousness" — which expresses forme something of the particular appealof this artist.Bull fight vs. still lifeIf the early cubists with theirrather rigid disciplines neverthelesssaw in their art a liberation of expression, the fauves and expressionists must have felt this even morekeenly.In an early Matisse, called the"Blue Window," we may if we like,find some very interesting spacial dis tortion. Or we may regard it purelyas a harmonious juxtaposition of formsand colors. But I am inclined to seein it a very successful representationof something which the artist experienced and which I, too, have experienced and enjoyed, but could neverexpress in such a satisfactory manner.We have all experienced blue windows. Much of our pleasure in thisparticular expression depends on theeconomy of means employed by thisartist. His early critics accused him ofleaving out everything that was difficult, but I feel nothing missing inthis work. And such elimination ofwhat is not essential to communication seems to me both difficult andinspired.Certainly it is of the essence of hisart that it should seem effortless andspontaneous, but I would maintainthat the same can be said of the artof Velasquez, in which we are never conscious of the work as an act of thewill.Picasso also is a great lyric artist.In his early figure drawings, the felicity and apparent ease of theflowing line is delightful. However,he has certain preoccupations, whichI would call architectonic and dramatic, though I do not like theseterms any better than you do. He isimmensely concerned with the heaviness of the bodies, their relations inspace, and their movement. Picasso'sfavorite subject is always an action.He paints a still life as if it were abull-fight, whereas I think Matissewould paint a bull-fight as if it werea still life.When we look at the Picasso headcalled "Woman Weeping," the curtain goes up on a drama, in this casea drama of human suffering, portrayed with what I would call almostterrifying realism. As in much of hisFEBRUARY, 1952 13later painting, the devices of cubismare still in evidence — simultaneity (wesee more than one view of the faceat once) and the dance of the facets.But here the devices are clearly notends in themselves. They are meansused very brilliantly to express intensehuman emotion.All of this says nothing whateverabout the relative merits of these twoartists. But I would say that thedramatic artist, whether his name bePicasso or Michaelangelo, necessarilybetrays more of his will than what Icall the lyric artist.Sometimes I think that when wesay that an artist mirrors our time, weover-emphasize the dramatic characteristics of our period. We incline tothink of ourselves as living in a periodof tension, speed, and dynamism. This,no doubt, is true. But perhaps we aretoo apt to overlook the fact that weare also living in an age of unprecedented creature comfort, in whichstandards of physical well-being haverisen far beyond those of the past.An artist like Matisse is keenlyaware of these little-mentioned buthighly important aspects of our environment. When he says that hepaints for the tired business man, Ithink we can take it with a grain ofsalt. BuJ, vye^should not forget thatthere is much in our environment thatis, so to speak, immediately delightful.And there are many modern artistswhose work has a very immediate andaccessible appeal — and is not the less significant or contemporary on thataccount.For example, let us consider sucha work as "The Steamer Odin,"painted in 1927 by the American art-.ist Lyonel Feininger. How amazinglyit embodies the ease and luxury ofmodern transportation. How crudeand inadequate seem our best effortsat the appropriate decor of an airport,beside this pure vision, in whicheverything, including the figures,seems created by the refraction oflight by polished and translucent surfaces. This is no wilderness of mirrors.Despite its austerity and rather grandiose proportions, it throbs for mewith the life of unseen motors. It is asplendid steamer, and it is also anairport from which great silent planestake off hourly for the dream world.But I must call a halt to this shameless rhapsodizing. I could go on forhours drooling over the achievementsof our great modern painters. But Ihave only indulged myself a little inorder to emphasize the fact that ourart today has an immense sensuousand imaginative appeal which I thinkis part and parcel of its significance.Consolidating ismsI have said almost nothing of themultiple schools and isms of our century. We have rejoiced in a vastnumber of these. We have witnessedthe rise and decline of cubism, fauv-ism, futurism, vorticism, dadaism,synchronism, purism, suprematism, ex-WHERE GREAT SILENT PLANES TAKE OFF HOURLY FOR THE DREAM WORLD pressionism, intimism and surrealism.All these terms — and more — arebandied about, and all refer to tendencies which have left more or lessof a mark on contemporary painting.The study of these tendencies isextremely interesting, but unless I ammistaken, they all represent forms ofexperimentation, and the tendencytoday is not so much toward furtherexperimentation as toward the exploitation and consolidation of allthese means of communication. Thisis very obvious in the late work ofPicasso, in which there is a synthesisof many of these currents.In his "Woman Weeping," forexample, I find the simultaneity ofcubism, an expressionist technique,fauve color, and more than a dash ofsurrealism. This is taking great libertywith these terms — and incidentallysays nothing of interest about thepainting itself — but I am convincedthat most artists today draw from alarge store of well-recognized meansof communication which were discovered or re-discovered in the first20 years of the century.This does not mean that paintinghas not changed. It has changed asradically as all the rest of our lives.But the emphasis is probably less ontheory and more on practice; less onschools and more on the individualpractitioner. In the end, the proof ofthe pudding is in the eating, and theproof of theories of expression is incommunication.At any rate, I hope that today weare less interested in the derivationsor rationale of a man's art, and moreinterested in the art itself. I'm surethat it is high time that we take forgranted the respectability of 20thcentury techniques of expression andconcern ourselves with the really interesting subject: the individual artistand the individual work.All good paintings are really unique.And this uniqueness lies not in theinvention of new techniques of expression (it might even be questionedwhether there is such a thing) , but inthe vision and imagination and talentof the artist.So far I have discussed only the oldmasters, so to speak, of the 20th cen-stury. All the men I have mentionedare in their 70's or 80's. Now Iwould. Jil^e to concentrate upon certain contemporary trends in Americanpainting. I cannot pretend to do jus-14 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEEVERY LINE OF SHAHN's "MINE DISASTER" CONVEYS SENSE OF TRAGEDY¦tice to this subject. One of the outstanding features of our period is thevery large nufrfSer of gifted paintersand the great variety of their talents.And when I get down to talkingabout truly contemporary art, youmay be sure that I shall become mistaken and confused. Almost everyonehas always been mistaken and confused when attempting to discusstruly contemporary art.Three AmericansI hope that many of you have hada chance to see exhibited the works ofJackson Pollock, Willem De Kooningand Ben Shahn. Each of these menseems to me to stand for an interestingand different tendency in our paintingtoday.What I have just said of Picasso issomewhat applicable to De Kooning.He, too, is often much concerned withsubject matter and always uses hisextreme abstraction as a language forexpression. The term "organic abstraction" seems particularly apt in speaking of his work. His composition islargely linear. Instead of silhouettingcontrasting shapes, as does Baziotes,he tends to establish a general colorand value tone, which he animatesthroughout with varied and complexbrush drawing.These paintings are very effectivedecoration — unframed on the whitewall — but each has a very individualand self-contained existence. Each isa little world in itself, filled with anintense and nervous life of its own.There is nothing calm about the formsin themselves, which adjust themselves painfully to each other in acrowded and struggling world. Yetthe totality — the picture — achievesa calm and a unity which is sometimesvery beautiful to me. This quality of apainfully achieved simplicity and calmin a complex and voracious world iscertainly contemporary enough in itsimplications.Pollock represents another tendency,one which interests me enormously.Rightly or wrongly, I see in his workthe* yearning of the contemporaryartist to escape from the picture frameand attack the wall. That is not tosay that his panels are not satisfyingin themselves. Personally, I am freeto say that I find their color, texture,and design very subtle and stimulating. But he does well not to framethem. And I think they constitute essentially something like an attackon the whole conception of the picture as a microcosmos set off from itssurroundings by the symbolic frame.Frankly, I am delighted that Pollock has found an enthusiastic public,and that he is getting commissions todecorate entire rooms. I'm sure ourmodern architecture will not for longconserve its plain blank walls. Verysoon these walls are going to be decorated, and I can only hope that artists who are truly obsessed with thebeauty of line and color can be foundto decorate them.Madness with methodMuch nonsense has been writtenabout the wildness, the madness ofPollock's technique. There is methodin his madness, and I think that ifhe has a fault, it is over-refinementrather than any crudity.In Ben Shahn we have an artist ofa totally different character. Hispaintings constitute an intense commentary on the world about him, aswe see in his painting, "Mine Disaster," in which a news item, so tospeak, is powerfully brought to lifeand acquires a human significance.Shahn's statements have the directness and simplicity of a primitive, butthe scene he conjures up is the worldwe live in. Nothing could be morefamiliar or more touching than this group of people, who are everydayfolks smitten by a great tragedy, andwho seem little and at a loss, as we alldo under such circumstances.Even when his theme is rather fantastic, Shahn makes use of imagestaken from everyday life. Much of hiswork is full of social significance, butit never has a false note. Each painting is a direct personal experiencewhich comes to us through the artistand takes on the color and flavor ofhis personality. He is not addicted to amanner.I don't know enough about contemporary painting to hazard anopinion as to the relative importanceof American work in the world scene.But is seems likely that with the passing of the grand old men of theSchool of Paris, our country will cometo be the center of the most vitaltendencies in painting.Whether or not America producesthe great painters, our old reliance onFrench taste and the British navy isgone with the wind. If France continues to produce great painters, it isto be hoped that they will receiveprompt recognition here. But theirAmerican reputations must be madein New York and Chicago, rather thanin Paris. And let us hope that theywill have to compete with a vigorous,well-loved, and well-supported American art.FEBRUARY, 1952 15SORACRAM USES GEIGER TUBE, SCALER, COMPUTER TO MAINTAIN EVEN ISOTOPE LEVEL IN RABBIT'S BLOODSTREAMSORACRAMOut of a young physiologist's workon the "blood-brain barrier" emergesan astonishing new servo-mechanismSORACRAM is the name of one ofthe most fascinating and complicated pieces of apparatus in the world. It was developed in the Abbott Halllaboratories at the University byRobert D. Tschirgi, '45, AM '45, PhD '49, MD '50, Assistant Professor ofPhysiology. The name of the electronic monster cornes from the initialsof its designation : Servo-OperatedRadioactivity and Anesthesia Controland Recording Activity Monitor.Soracram does all these things.In the making of the instrument,Dr. Tschirgi's collaborators were RoyJohn, '48, and Stanley Molner, whowas largely responsible for the construction.16 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEITS "BRAIN" IS UNIT (RIGHT) WHICH "DECIDES" IF INPUT IS ENOUGHBasically, Soracram was designed totake one of the bugs out of radioactivetracer research on the "blood-brainbarrier." Tracer work has becomemore and more important ever sincethe end of World War II made available today's wide range of radioactivematerials — atomic by-products— ^opening new vistas to workers in manyfields. In biological research, however,the use of tracers was hampered bythe fact that the amount of radio active material which could be kept inthe bloodstream fluctuated violently,rising with each injection, then tapering off rapidly as it was excreted.If the amount of tracer material inthe blood could be kept at a relativelyconstant desired level, Dr. Tschirgiknew, it would be possible to eliminateone variable factor from his experiments, and the making of more refined measurements would becomepossible. Hence Soracram. Soracram, which is really a series often instruments, most of them standard devices, maintains levels of isotopeconcentration in the blood constantwithin a range of 5 per cent. Thesequence of its operations is as follows.Through a loop of tubing, blood is ( 1 )drawn out of the carotid artery, (2)passed through a chamber containingan ionization detector, and then returned to the artery again. Theradioactivity pulsations are (3) recorded by a counter and (4) totalizedby a scaler. The scaler (5) transforms the quantity of pulsations intoan electrical voltage of correspondingstrength. This voltage is (6) comparedin an adjacent electronic computerwith a standard voltage which can beset to represent any desired level ofblood radioactivity. If the voltagefalls below the selected level, the decline (7) trips an electrical relay,which (8) rotates a large screw. Thescrew (9) presses against the plungerof a syringe which is connected to theanimal's bloodstream. This action (10)increases the flow of isotopes into thebloodstream, bringing it back up tothe desired level.Soracram also regulates the depthof anesthesia and records the concentration of isotopes in the brain, butthese specific uses are regarded as onlythe beginning. Its potentialities arevery great in other fields of physiological and pharmaceutical research.Quixotic barrierThe problem of the "blood-brainbarrier," which led to the creation ofSoracram is a fascinating one, stilllargely unsolved. Some chemical substances — such as alcohol — pass withgreat ease from the blood into thecentral nervous system, including thebrain. Other — and important — materials, like the antibiotic drugs andseveral carbohydrates, apparently arestopped from entering the brain bysome sort of barrier.The exact nature of the barrier isunknown and puzzling, since it seemsto operate quixotically, admittingsome large molecules — like alcohol —rapidly, but permitting only very slowpassage of, for instance, the muchsmaller sodium ion. Nor can its discrimination be based entirely on theelectrical charge of the materials, oron their degree of fat solubility. Thebarbiturates, for example, enter thebrain easily, though they are notFEBRUARY, 1952 17TSCHIRGI (CENTER), WITH PARTNERS JOHN (HOLDING GEIGER TUBE) & MOLNERsoluble in fats, while other fat-insoluble materials are passed only veryreluctantly. ( Radio - sodium, whichreaches equilibrium in other bodytissues in ten minutes, has been shownto be still short of equilibrium in thebrain after 62 hours.)Improved understanding of thefunctioning of the "barrier" maythrow light on some diseases, such asepilepsy, which some scientists suspectTHE RECENT Defense Department announcement that primaquine will be routinely given allreturning Korean veterans culminatesa long-term co-operative medical research program in which the University played a leading role. Primaquineis a drug which kills the parasiteswhich cause the common relapsingform of malaria. Malaria, aff-ectingsome three hundred million persons,is perhaps the world's most importantdisease.While drugs have been knownwhich served to suppress the symptoms of malaria, up to primaquineno drug had been developed whichcould safely destroy the parasites inthe human body. may involve a breakdown in the barrier's operation, so that substanceswhich normally pass the barrier slowly,actually reach the brain in abnormallyhigh concentrations.University psychologists currentlyare making experiments to determinewhether this phenomenon of variablepenetrability can be used in brainmapping.Primaquine is particularly important during the Korean war, because10 to 30 per cent of returning veterans may be infected with a form ofmalaria capable of spreading in thetemperate zone.The research was spearheaded bythree scientists from three different institutions and supported by the U.S.Army and the U.S. Public HealthService. At Columbia, Robert C.Elderfield, Professor of Chemistry,provided the chemical ingenuity forsynthesizing the drugs. In Cincinnati, L. H. Schmidt, of Christ Hospital, tested the drugs on experimentalanimals before the drugs were usedon human beings.The clinical testing of the drug was One problem of the barrier onwhich Soracram already has been putto work is whether its penetrabilityvaries with brain activity. Results todate indicate that increased neuronalactivity may increase the amount ofphosphorus admitted to the brain.Besides its application in the blood-brain work, Soracram soon will beused to study the effects on the kidneyand other organs of the radioactively"tagged" drugs developed by Dr.E. M. K. Geiling in the University'sDepartment of Pharmacology. These"tagged" drugs include nicotine, digitalis, and morphine.Dr. Tschirgi's Soracram cost only$6,000 to build, and it is expected thatsubsequent models will cost even less.Like any device depending for itsoperation on a series of vacuum tubes(Soracram has a hundred of them)the instrument is subject to occasional' breakdowns.

Alving, Professor of Medicine in the University ofChicago. Alving supervised the original testing on volunteer convicts fromIllinois' Stateville and flew to Korealast summer to initiate the use ofprimaquine on returning veterans. Asa result of these tests, working withunprecedented speed in a period ofsix months, the Army has embarkedon a medically unique experiment oftreating all veterans for a diseaseaffecting only a minority.In the search for primaquine morethan fifteen hundred drugs weretested, and some one hundred andfifty showed enough promise to beused on man. The search finallynarrowed down to a chemical groupcalled the 8-aminoquinolines.The Stateville testing produced anincidental hint that primaquine or oneof its fellow 8-aminoquinolines may insome degree benefit cases of arthritis,and this possibility currently is beinginvestigated.PRIMAQUINEKorea also is battlegroundin war on malaria parasite18 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEOblige MeBy Referring toChicago "Press Veterana Daily Maroon founderCHARLES COLLINS, '03, en-'<^ tered the news business approxi-nately 60 years ago, by way of a(¦aper route, which he ran, and alewsstand he operated down wheretie stockyards spur of the Illinoistientral crosses Grand Boulevard.Even then, while still in gradechool, he knew that he was goingo be a newspaperman. But he couldlot have known where he was goingo go to college. The University ofChicago had not yet been founded.When Messrs. Harper and Rocke-cller got around to establishing theUniversity, there was little doubthat Collins should attend this whop-)ing institution which had, so topeak, popped up in his back yard.Sesides, he won a scholarship.Last November, having survivedJnger than the first four newspaperse worked on, Collins was namedfress Veteran of 1951" by the Chi-ago Press Veterans Association. Innewspaper town like Chicago, thiselection as "veteran among veterans"i, as they say, indeed a signal honor.When, in 1899, Collins entered theCven-years^-old University, he imme-liately set to work reporting for thetident paper, which was then, as itow is once again, a weekly. In hisnird year, he served as managingf)itor, and it looked as if there wereo more local worlds to vanquish. Asturned out, however, there were.There had for some time beengitation for the establishment of a the Files"of 1951" wasback in 1902student daily. In fact, there alreadyhad been a couple. The first hadlasted a year, to be succeeded by atri-weekly. The first Daily Maroonpublished two issues in May, 1900,after which it was suspended by theFaculty Board of Student Organizations. When the suspension was ended,the paper published through the remaining month of the academic year,and then died.But there still was a desire fora daily on the Midway, and by thestart of the fall quarter, 1902, theobstacles to its establishment hadbeen overcome.Founding fatherOne of these obstacles was that upuntil this time, the University's seriesof news publications, while vestedwith a public interest, had been individually owned. Byron G. Moon, thepaper's business manager, now president of the New York advertisingfirm bearing his name, was the ownerof the University of Chicago Weekly,and he had a fair amount of capitaltied up in it.To solidify the campus' thus-far-implied interest in the Maroon, whichseemed about to be revived, it wassuggested by Mayo Fesler, the alumnisecretary, that the alumni buy outMoon's interest. The alumni body,however, which at this time was not CAMPUS REPORTER COLLINS IN 1902the sizable group which it constitutestoday, nixed the proposition.Previously the University hadsagely decided that it should notsubsidize the paper, as a matter ofprinciple.Finally Moon fell in with anarrangement putting the proprietorship of the Maroon in the hands ofthe student body, to be held in trustby the editors and the business manager. And Moon was to be awardedas much of his capital as could beextracted from profits in a two-yearperiod.Collins, who had been one of thecommittee of ten which shepherdedthe new publication through all thesepreliminaries, chose to move from theWeekly to the Monthly Maroon,rather than the Daily. Since his fraternity, Chi Psi, already held a rather-weighty share of campus offices, hebecame associate editor of the magazine.The Monthly Maroon was a linealancestor of this Magazine as well asa host of latter-day student literarypublications, since there was at thattime no alumni magazine.The Monthly was a rather high-flown effort, which ran short storiesand sketches in French as well as inthe humdrum language of the natives. Collins was not involved in thisaspect of the publication, au con-traire, he once translated a de Maupassant story for the benefit of themagazine's English-reading audience.EBRUARY, 1952 19One of the reasons Collins wascontent to take a secondary role inthe Monthly's hierarchy was that healready was well-launched in newspaper affairs, chiefly as campus correspondent for the Chicago Record-Herald, an aggressive morning paperwhich, before its demise, presented alot of healthy competition to Collins'present employer, the Tribune.Collins began to make history onthe Record-Herald with a story heextracted from a Christmas-holidaybiology meeting. This was the storyof Jacques Loeb's work on artificialparthenogenesis, involving sea urchins.This "virgin birth" story, as of coursethe headline writers called it, was oneof the top educational stories of alltime.After graduation, young Collinsstarted in as a Record-Herald reporter. One of the first big events inwhose coverage he was involved wasthe famous Iroquois theater fire.Criminal innovatorsAnother was the brief but activecareer of the pioneering "CarbarnBandits," the first to make use ofthe automatic pistol in holdups.(Their designation came from thefact that several of their early raidswere made on street-car "barns.")The Carbarn Bandits made a gruesome adaptation of holdup techniqueto the new technology involved in the use of the automatic: instead ofmerely inviting a victim to stick themup — a method which saved time andammunition for criminals employingthe old - fashioned revolver — theywalked in shooting.Happily, the end of this lethal practice came — for its initiators, at least —when the entire group was apprehended in a hideout near Miller, In-dana, and put to death.Collins' reporting was not limitedto the field of biological research andcrime. He covered a couple of WorldSeries (one was the six-game 1906affair, in which Eddie Walsh wontwo to give the Sox the title overFrankie Chance's Cubs.)In addition to his regular assignments from the city desk, he also became assistant drama critic, underJames O'Donnell Bennett.In 1908 he moved to the ChicagoInter-Ocean as that paper's dramacritic, and in 1914 he took over thesame position on the Chicago EveningPost.Collins stayed with the Post until1925, when he quit to begin five yearsof free lance writing, mainly in thefield of the drama. He already hada book, Great Love Stories of theTheater, and a couple of scripts tohis credit, and he finished up a volumeof short stories, The Sins of St. Anthony: Tales of the Theater. Hecollaborated with Gene Markey onThe Dark Island. And he wrote large numbers of articles for the Chicagoanmagazine.In 1930 Collins began an eightyear stint as drama critic for thathardy perennial, the Tribune, (all hisearlier papers had by this time goneout of business). In 1938 he wasmade a columnist. R. H. Little, theconductor of the "Line-o-Type," haddied in 1936, and the Tribune wasstill groping for a successor. One yearago he withdrew from the "Line"and moved over to the paper's Sunday department, where he now is aspecial writer for what the Tribunerefers to as its Grafic Magazine.Dusty footnoteIn 1942, Collins was awarded aUniversity Alumni Citation, and heis also an honorary member of theUniversity's chapter of Phi BetaKappa.In his speech accepting his nomination as Press Veteran of the Year,Collins said,"If beseeched for the story of mycareer, I would answer with one linefrom a jingle by a good newspaperman named Rudyard Kipling:" 'Oblige me by referring to thefiles.'"For the long run of my stuff, referto the files of the Chicago Tribune,Evening Post, Inter-Ocean, and Record-Herald; the files of the New YorkTimes, New York Telegraph, andBoston Transcript; the files of theGreen Book, a monthly, and The Chicagoan, a weekly,"For occasional pieces, see the filesof slathers of other periodicals, majorand minor, many of which are extinct."When I think of the tonnage ofthose bound volumes, I am ironicallyamused. Any aspirant for a collegedegree in journalism, seeking material for a dissertation on drama criticsand columnists of the first half ofthe 20th century, will have a dustyand dreary time turning me into afootnote."The first half of the century endeda little more than a year ago, butCharlie Collins, his bright eye asalert as ever for the good touch inthe new story, continues to stack upmaterial for that footnote.COLLINS STOPS TO JOSH WITH TRIBUNE SUNDAY DEPARTMENT COLLEAGUES20 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINENew Test DetectsTrouble Spots in Worker MoraleMethods of opinion polling areblended with testing techniquesto measure morale of employeesTHE FIRST employee morale indicator to be standardized foruse in virtually any kind of businessenterprise was formally introducedlast month at the University's Industrial Relations Center.The Employee Inventory, in preliminary forms/ has been tested onmore than 100,000 workers in department stores, mail order houses, railroads, and firms engaged in light andheavy manufacture, over a period ofyears.It was brought to completion bythe Employee Attitude ResearchGroup headed by Robert K. Burns,Professor and Executive Officer of theCenter. Other members of the groupare Louis L. Thurstone, DistinguishedService Professor of Psychology,David G. Moore, Personnel ResearchSpecialist at Sears, Roebuck andCompany, and Melany E. Baehr, Research Associate at the Center.The Employee Inventory offers industry its first accurate general yardstick for measurement of factorsranging from working conditions andsupervisor-employee relations to suchintangibles as plant and departmental status and recognition, opportunity for the future, and security.Requiring only 30 minutes to administer, the Inventory can be givenat one-quarter the cost of othermeans of finding out what the employees like and dislike about thecompany. Employees are not askedto sign their names and they deposit their answers in ballot-box containers.In addition to its low cost — theInventory can be administered forabout one dollar per employee — thenew "morale meter" has manifolduses for business management.The Inventory is actually not a test. It has no right answers norwrong answers. Employees are askedto indicate in a four-page bookletwhether they agree, disagree, or areundecided about questions such as:My boss is always standing in backof us; he watches us all the time.This company's management doesall it can to give employees a fairbreak on the job.I feel as though Vm a part of thisorganization.My job is a very dull one and Ilack interest in it.The form contains 78 questionsin all, this number weeded out frommore than 450 test questions whichin turn were developed from extensive interviews and tried out in earlier forms of the instrument. Phrasedin simple language the questionscover five main areas in employeerelations: (1.) job and conditions ofwork; (2.) financial rewards; (3.)personal relations; (4.) operating efficiency; and (5.) individual satisfactions.The Inventory also provides forinsertion of ten additional specialized questions a company may wishto include, and space for personalcomments the employees may wish toget off their chests.Dont fence me inThe tabulated results make it possible for companies to ( 1 . ) assessthe general level of morale in theorganization, (2.) locate problem departments, (3.) determine satisfactions and dissatisfactions, (4.) evalu ate supervisory and executive training needs, (5.) provide material forsupervisory training programs, (6.)estimate the adequacy of communication, (7.) stimulate interest in human relations, and (8.) provide opportunity for employees to voice theirviews.The results may also be used by acompany to compare its scores withother concerns in the industry, othercompanies in the region, and between occupations. Both chronic andacute morale problems are differentiated in the Inventory.The reliability of the Inventoryresults was established by test-reteststudies and validated by non-directive interviews among a cross-sectionof the employees and by correlatingmorale findings with records of productivity, performance rating, andabsenteeism.The findings show that the average American worker doesn't likebossiness or arbitrary supervision. Hewants a certain amount of freedomon the job; so that he doesn't feel"fenced in." He wants to feel thathis job security and opportunities foradvancement depend primarily en hisown efforts. And he want some "say-so" in what goes on in his department.If his job, working conditions, pay,supervision, and place in the organization give him that feeling that hisis a fifth wheel on the wagon, hismorale suffers.Employees who feel that they dohave a place in the organization,are respected by others, and in general are treated like adult, responsible human beings in their jobs, willtypically have high morale.The morale indicator combines thetechniques of opinion polling andtest construction. It was tested in itspilot stages by Sears, Roebuck andCompany, Campbell Soup Company,Weyerhaeuser Timber Company,New York Central Railroad, Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation, Johnson and Johnson, A. B. Dick Company, Spiegel Inc., and Visking corporation. The project was an outgrowth of work done by the IndustrialRelations Center at Western Electricand Sears, Roebuck and Company.Copyrights to the Employee Inventory have been assigned to ScienceResearch Associates, Inc.

C, in addition to keeping up with Chicago, 1952 A. D.Such a double life results, in part, asa follow-up of the inevitable details of further research, cataloguing, evaluating, etc.,that accompany such an expedition; andin part, as a gracious response on thepart of the Braidwoods to the many demands from reporters, photographers,scholars, prominent Chicago citizens, andjust plain folk who want to share viaseminars, interviews, lectures, dinners, andluncheons in the findings which havemade archeological and front-page newsacross the country. \ XIIt is agreed that all four Braidwoodshad at least one hand in the diggings andexpedition operations, and some featurestories have given the impression, whichLinda hastens to correct, that the expedition was a kind of one-woman show inwhich the director's wife doubled as archeologist, paymaster, photographer, accountant, and classifier of specimens. In fact,Mrs. Braidwood's job of cataloguing morethan 125,000 flints, tools, and articles ofpottery found at Jarmo is a task whichwill keep Jarmo firmly on her mind formany a year to come, by which time shehopes the whole family will be off digging some other old village out of oblivion.Gretel and Douglas, veteran expedition-ers by now, managed to stay happy andremarkably healthy during their latest yearabroad and kept their Mother busy tutoring them, via home-study courses, andgrinding course Arabian sugar on millingstones dug up at Jarmo (and probablynot used since 5,000 B. C.) so that shecould meet their requests for western-style, powdered-sugar coated Christmascookies.Since returning to Chicago and school,the children have delighted their friendsand progressive-school teachers by displaying their Iraqui costumes, worn at Hallowe'en time, and other artifacts and accounts of their stay, including stories ofTHE BRAIDWOODS PORE OVER MAP OF THEIR ERSTWHILE HABITAT IN IRAQ their pet gazelle and tales of a year spentin primitive, north-east Iraq where theKurdish natives of that region live justabout the same as the 5,000 B.C. villagersof Jarmo. So far, the expeditions haven'tconvinced the children that archeologywill be their chosen career, according toMrs. Braidwood. Seems that Douglasthinks traveling is a fine idea, but he'snot so sure he wants to dig for a living.In that smart little head of his he musthave figured out there's an easier way.In a burst of foresight and unfoundedoptimism , Dr. Braidwood made carefulpre-expedition arrangements for his family'scomfort while at Jarmo and sent plansahead to Abdullah, the Egyptian fieldforeman who has worked with other University of Chicago scientists. But when theBraidwood family arrived on the scenethey found a house minus electricity andplumbing, with windows in upside downand doors working backwards.Clothes had to be planned on a striptease basis, Mrs. Braidwood has explained."We'd start off wearing a lot of warmthings in the morning, then shed themone by one as it got warmer. And sometimes it would rain for days, but we hadto work during the rainy season becausesummers are much too hot and dusty."Dr. Braidwood chose archeology as acareer, and since Mrs. Braidwood, a de-parment-store buyer before her marriage,chose Dr. Braidwood, she married intothe profession, so to speak, in 1937, onlyto launch upon a Syrian honeymoon (withstrong archeological undertones) . Lindanot only fell in love with an archeologisthusband, but also with archeology. Dr.Braidwood's candid admission that sincehe hadn't had time to master the specialized fields of stone and flints, she'd have to,may have had something to do with it.Anyway, she set about adding a master'sdegree in archeology to her heretofore un-archeological academic and professionalpast. Braidwood now observes that Linda isthe world authority on flint and stoneliths of that period in Western Asia. Wemight observe, in closing, that it's wonderful what love and native intelligencecan accomplish.— A.
