Mr.Mason is retired and living in Claremont, California.Traveling with the ChancellorWe left Seattle with three new toothbrushes, a tube of shaving cream, andone new Gillette between us. But I'mahead of my story.In my November column I told aboutmy trip with Chancellor Kimpton andDean Strozier to Kansas City, Omaha,and Denver. Our purpose was twofold:to meet at luncheons with high schoolprincipals and their student college advisers, and with the alumni in the evening. The story to both was about thechanges in the College program whichfit more normally the current patternof American education.In mid-October this same team movedon to the West Coast. With us went theChairman of the Board, Edward L. Ryerson and his winsome wife. They wantedto meet the alumni and learn their feelings about Alma Mater.In San Francisco we started with abroadcast symposium featuring Kimpton,Ryerson, and Strozier (on "Why PrivateEducation?"); had dinner with the alumni; luncheon with 30 professional andbusiness alumni; and dinner with theprincipals.The success of these two days was duein part to Philip R. Lawrence, '40, JD'42,president of the San Francisco Club whomade the advance arrangements and coordinated the two days. Ralph N. Larson, '25, President of the Morris PlanCo. of California, was the host at thebusiness luncheon in the Bohemian Club.On the following morning (Tuesday)I roused the Chancellor and Dean at5:30 A.M. to catch a 6 A.M. bus to theairport to catch a 7 A.M. plane to LosAngeles for a noon principals' lunch andan evening alumni dinner. On the planethere was some sleepy mumbling aboutclose schedules, overboard efficiency, andSimon Legree.But at Los Angeles, after coffee and agood breakfast on United aloft, the teamwas bright and cordial for the principals'luncheon at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel.William D. Campbell, LLB'21, president of the L.A. Club, presided at thedinner. Guests included such famousquadrangle emeriti names as Goodspeed,Nitze, Merrill, and Moulds. Jerry Jontry,'33, head of his own advertising firm,made the luncheon arrangements where100 high school officials heard the Chancellor and the Dean.That night I announced that the team FOURTH PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY, MAX MASON, ON VISIT TO CHANCELLORcould sleep late the next morning. OurSeattle plane did not leave until 10 A.M.They could slumber until 7:30 — whichwould allow for breakfast and the longride to the airport. No comment fromthe team!Due in Seattle for a 6 P.M. alumnidinner, the plane would arrive at 3 P.M.leaving plenty of time to freshen up.As we flew north through Californiasunshine I indulged in modest self-congratulations. These were close schedulesbut running smoothly. After all, I hadbeen told the Chancellor could be goneonly a week.Then fell the blow!We were over Portland. "At this moment," boomed the pilot's speaker, "Seattle ceiling is zero" (he could have beenannouncing my temperature) "but weare continuing, hoping it will clear forlanding."Forty minutes later: "We are circlingover Seattle and returning to Portland.The fog has not lifted."Forty-five minutes to organize theparty for a 180-mile dash from Portlandto Seattle by land!With 12 stranded planes at the Portland airport and 60 times that manyfrantic passengers trying to get cabs andother transportation, Strozier set outdown the road to snare a cab ahead ofthe mob. That done, Mrs. Ryerson satin the back seat while the others completed their missions. (Afterwards shesaid she had never had the guilty experience of running up a $3.10 cab fare without turning a wheel.)Meanwhile Kimpton and Ryerson wereexpediting the baggage. A Seattle trainwas leaving Portland in an hour.I got on the telephone to Seattle andleft word we were on the way. Havedinner and their business meeting. Wewould arrive at 9:15. Meet the train and the program would go on promptly at9:30.It took 45 minutes to discover that theKimpton-Strozier-Mort baggage had beendropped off at San Francisco. Too latenow to make the train in Portland.Leaving orders to send the baggage toour Portland hotel when it arrived, wejumped in the cab and headed for Vancouver, across the Columbia from Portland. We overtook the train and arrivedin Seattle at 9:10 P.M., not without a fewsnide remarks from the conductor aboutbeing forced to rely on the good old dependable railroad.Dick Reed, '43, JD'48, president of theSeattle Club, had everything under control. Dr. John Hogness, '43, MD'46, metus with his Pontiac and everyone washappy.Our first purchase Thursday morningwas three tooth brushes, a tube of toothpaste, shaving cream, and a communalGillette.After the school luncheon the teambraced its feet. Although the Ryersonsflew on to Portland (Thursday was aglaring, sunshiny day), we took the lateafternoon train to Portland and our lostbaggage.In Portland the Ryersons rented a carand spent Friday making the scenic Mt.Hood Loop trip while we held our schoolluncheon. They returned with enthusiastic praise for Oregon scenery.Robert Weiss, JD'48, alert PortlandClub President, presided at the alumnidinner. Mrs. Ryerson joined us at thespeakers' table wearing a corsage of deepred roses. The florist card had read:"Welcome to the city of roses; (from)The Portland Chicago Club."Our Multnomah Hotel was week-endheadquarters for the Universities ofWashington and Oregon football gangs,playing their annual classic Washington-DECEMBER, 1953 1Atyourage!If you are over 21 (or under 101) it's none too soon foryou to follow the example of our hero, Ed Parmalee,and face the life-saving facts about cancer as presented in ournew film "Man Alive !". You'll learn, too, that cancer is notunlike serious engine trouble— it usually gives you a warning:(1) any sore that does not heal (2) a lump or thickening,in the breast or elsewhere (3) unusual bleeding or discharge(4) any change in a wart or mole (5) persistent indigestionor difficulty in swallowing (6) persistent hoarseness orcough (7) any change in normal bowel habits.While these may not always mean cancer, any one of themshould mean a visit to your doctor.Most cancers are curable but only if treated in time!You and Ed will also learn that until science finds a cure forall cancers your best "insurance" is a thorough healthexamination every year, no matter how well you may feel—twice a year if you are a man over 45 or a woman over 35.For information on where you can see this film, call us orwrite to "Cancer" in care of your local Post Office.American Cancer Society fMAN ALIVE ! is the story of Ed Parmalee, whosefear weakens his judgment.

W. M.DECEMBER, 1953 3Tom Fool, with Ted Atkinson up, winning 1953 Pim/ico SpecialTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEThe Lady and The Horse"I feel that one shouldbe as clear as one's naturalreticence allows one to be."wH'HEN A NATIONAL magazinerecently ran an article about poetMarianne Moore at a zoo, it reportedwith some surprise that she had awide store of knowledge. She"amazed the keeper," the story said,"by naming six kinds of zebras — -heknew only three." Neither that magazine nor the keeper would have beenso surprised if they read her Collected Poems (Macmillan), and hernotes that go with them. Better still,she should have been heard in Man-del Hall late in October.Invited by the committee on theWilliam "Vaughn Moody lectures —which brings notable men and womenof letters to campus — Miss Mooreread and discussed some of the poemswhich won her the Pulitzer Prize lastyear. Her other awards for 1952 werethe Bollingen Prize and the NationalBook Award. She also won a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1945, the University's Harriet Monroe award in1944, and the Dial, Levinson, andShelley Memorial awards in 1924,1933, 1940, respectively. This year shereceived the gold medal of the National Institute of Arts and Letters.Born in St. Louis in 1887, Marianne Craig Moore graduated from BrynMawr in 1909, and taught at the Carlisle Indian School. (It is reportedthat one of her students was anathlete called Swift Deer — or JimThorpe.) In the twenties she was alibrarian in New York City. For along time, now, she has lived inBrooklyn where she writes the poetrywhich another native of St. Louis,T. S. Eliot, has called "durable." In1935 he wrote: "My conviction has remained unchanged for the last fourteen years: that Miss Moore's poemsform part of the small body of durablepoetry written in our time ... inwhich an original sensibility and alertintelligence and deep feeling havebeen engaged in maintaining the lifeof the English language."Her audience here on campus feltsome of that life. As she read, sometimes interrupting her own poems,she discussed parts of her work, explaining where she had read, seen,or imagined certain statements andimages. As she explained, clichesabout obscurity fell by the side."Sometimes," she said, "I am askedwhy I — one who sets store by thatwhich is boldly stated and orderly- why I am obscure. My answer is thatI don't like to be. I feel that one shouldbe as clear as one's natural reticenceallows one to be." Then, showinglittle reticence, she criticized her ownwork.As a student at Bryn Mawr, forexample, she wrote a poem about ajelly-fish. She said then that "itshrivels." A jelly-fish does not shrivel,she declared to her packed audience."It recedes or sinks or pulsates awaywhile looking stationary as if tethered. But 'shrivel' fitted the rhythm,I suppose."Miss Moore also told about losingrhymes. "Nothing could be more unnatural or mannered than conspicuously exhibited rhymes. But I sometimes hid my rhymes so well, thatafterward I couldn't find them." Calling her work poetry "because there isno other category in which to put it,"Miss Moore discussed her early concern with style."When I first was trying to write Ileft out verbs, thus making sentenceslonger and longer, since verbs seemedto me to be dogmatic and egotistical.Then my sentences seemed sluggish,so I left out commas whether theyDECEMBER, 1953 5were needed or not. Then, fearingthat I was sounding affected, I tookto speaking in monosyllables, as animals might speak if they were writersattempting to be friendly."After this, when a close critic (hermother) said she disapproved of erratic sentence structure, Miss Mooredecided not to be bizarre. Her ultimate law for style, she discovered,could be summarized in a saying byConfucius: "When the meaning hasbeen fully expressed, STOP," although, she continued, "I don't liketo be reduced to one sentence by Confucius." Since she read from her workthrough the evening, her audiencecould see and hear how she followedher own rules. They could also learnpart of the way in which one poetworked. One poem she talked aboutwas a poem about a horse.Her latest poem to be published —except for her La Fontaine Fables inthe October Poetry — appeared in TheNew Yorker, June 13, 1953. It wascalled "Tom Fool at Jamaica" andfirst took form in March, the year before. Miss Moore came upon a sport'scolumn in the New York Times onemorning. It was written by ArthurDaly, and was about horse racing ingeneral and one jockey — Ted Atkinson — in particular. Mr. Atkinsontalked about the horse called TomFool."He makes a sustained effort andmakes it oftener than the rest," hesaid. "The average horse can makeonly one move in a race . . . It's themark of a champion to spurt 100yards, settle back, and spurt anotherhundred yards, giving that extraspurt whenever needed." And, hesaid, "From what I've seen of TomFool, I'd call him a handy horse."Later, on April first, Miss Mooresaw a picture of Tom Fool practising."That," said Miss Moore, "was enough.I deplore gambling and had neverbeen at Jamaica, in fact I had neverseen a race. But I felt obliged to payTom Fool a slight tribute."I got a little way with my stanzas,when I realized that I had receivedan Oscar from the United Youth fora Better Tomorrow, and I was veryworried indeed. Then I saw a columnon the track announcer, Fred Capos-sela, who explained how he worked.'It's tough but I get 'em; and whyshouldn't I? I'm relaxed, I'm confident, and I don't bet.' "Memories worked their way intothe poem: a picture, by a school boyin Spain, of a jockey and a mulestopping short, to let a snail go by;PULITZER PRIZE WINNER: POET MOORETHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEFats Waller at the piano; Ozzie Smithon the African drums; and the Lip-pizan school noted for great horses.When the poem was finished it wassent, by request, to one publicationwhich later said it would be printedsometime in 1954. But that magazine discontinued publication, so Miss Moore sent it to The New Yorker.The New Yorker accepted it andprinted it. Miss Moore finished hertalk at the University by reading thepoem and saying, "That's all. Thankyou for finding what I have saidamusing."The next day, while she was read ing some of her translations of LaFontaine's fables at the Arts Club inChicago, Tom Fool, with Ted Atkinson up, won the Pimlico Special atBaltimore over Navy Page and Alerted. (See page 4.) He set a record.There was no betting.— H. E.

Sentir avec Ardeur; that's it; magnetized by feeling.Tom Fool "makes an effort and makes it oftenerthan the rest" — out on April first, a day of some significancein the ambiguous sense — the smilingMaster Atkinson's choice, has that mark of a champion, the extraspurt when needed. Yes, yes. Chanceis "a regrettable impurity"; like Tom Fool'sleft white hind foot — an unconformity; though judging byresults, a kind of cottontail to give him confidence.Up in the cupola comparing steeds, Signor Capossela keeps his head."It's tough," he said; "but I get 'em; and why shouldn't I?I'm relaxed, I'm confident, and I don't bet." Sensational. He does notbet on his animatedvalentines — his pink and black-striped, sashed or dotted silks.Tom Fool is "a handy horse," with a chiselled foot. You've the beatof a dancer to a measure or harmonious rushof a porpoise at the prow where the racers all win easily —like centaurs' legs in tune, as when kettledrums compete;nose rigid and suede nostrils spread, a light left hand on the rein till,well — this is a rhapsody.Of course, speaking of champions, there was Fats Wallerwith the feather touch, giraffe eyes, and that hand alighting inAin't Misbehavin'. Ozzie Smith and Eubie Blakeennoble the atmosphere; you recall the Lippizan school;the time Ted Atkinson charged by on Tiger Skin —no pursuers in sight — cat-loping along.

MAKES LEARNING AN OPPORTUNITYRATHER THA COMPULSIONA QUESTION OF VALUES AS SEEN BY THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE CARTOONIST IN 1930PIGSKIN RUMOR RIDES AGAINCHICAGO BACK IN THE BIG TEN?AFTER REPORTING in our MemoPad for November how rumors getstarted in the press (see page 1,November Magazine), other rumorshave cropped up in other parts of thecountry. The rumor: that Chicagowill go back into Big Ten football.Since we last published, another kind of rumor has come up: that studentson campus want big time football.According to the Maroon this is notthe case, but football is being discussed on campus.It is, of course, intramural tackle.A committee of students and representatives of the Athletic Department are preparing a report on the cost ofsuch an intramural program. Thestudents (representing about fiftymembers of the College), the AthleticDepartment, and the Dean of StudentsOffice, have stated that there couldbe no program considered for nextfall unless at least one hundred8 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEIN AN OLD CUT, BERWANGER (FAR RIGHT) JUST TRIED FIELD GOAL AGAINST WISCONSIN IN 1933. HE MISSEDstudents participated. If this occurred,then inter-collegiate ball could beconsidered. The whole question wasstill at that nebulous stage called"consideration."As for the Big Ten Conference,T. Nelson Metcalf, director of athletics, stated: "If we do have intercollegiate football, it must operate ona small and reasonable scale. Anyrumor that Chicago wants reinstatement in the Big Ten is ridiculous."In the Maroon issue reporting theproposed intramural games, the campus newspaper ran an editorial called"We Prefer No Football." We are reprinting this in full, since it dealswith alumni:"Recent reports in midwesternnewspapers have stated that severalleading administration members areworking to effect a return of intercollegiate football to the Universityof Chicago. We frankly admit that these reports have worried us. Notthat we have anything against football. It is a vigorous and entertainingactivity for both spectator and participant. But it is not a sport — it is abusiness, played and managed byprofessionals. It should be discussedas such."As a business enterprise footballrequires huge expenditures for equipment, a good stadium, coaches, and(if the team is to be a good one) forplayers. Spectators must pay the cost.Also, because of the time required forpractice, travel and performance, thegood football player is seldom a goodstudent. In fact, at most universitiesthe football player is seldom a student — he is merely a 200-plus poundmonster in shoulder-pads who willreceive a degree in Physical Education for cavorting before 80,000 wildlycheering spectators."Of course, it is possible to main tain a mediocre team of amateurs whohave a high scholastic average. Butsuch a team would not pay because itcould not attract spectators or bookgames with the teams that do."But this University has a recordof excellence on the football field.During the 1920's, Chicago's footballteams were second to none in thecountry. The Maroons of that daywere equivalent to anything thatIllinois or Michigan State are turningout today. The students of that timeare today our most numerous, mosteffective, most affluent alumni. Theseare the people who are demandinga return of football. If the game isresurrected, would these alumni becontent with a mediocre team? Webelieve that they would demand andprobably get a first-rate team andwith it all the evils we know wouldfollow. We prefer the alternative ofno football."DURING SAME GAME AS ABOVE, ALL-AMERICAN BERWANGER (WITH THE BALL) SWEEPS RIGHT END.

THILE DARIUS the Great waslosing the battle of Marathon (490B.C.) his workers were building hisown Versailles — Persepolis. Locatedat the foot of the Mount of Mercy, inwhat is now Iran, Persepolis, TheCity of Persia, was to be the king'sown playground, where representatives of his 23 subject nations couldbring him treasures. Four years later,Darius died; but his son, Xerxes, notonly continued the work, he foughtthe Greeks again and burned Athenswhile passing through. Two hundredyears later, Alexander the Greatpassed through Persepolis in the samemanner. He burned it. He also robbedthe city and, according to Plutarch,used 10,000 pairs of mules and 5,000camels to carry his loot away. (Estimated value: from thirty to one-hundred fifty-seven million dollars.)For twenty-three centuries, most ofPersepolis lay buried under its owndebris and the soil washed down fromthe nearby hills. Some of the city wasabove ground. But it took digging from 1931 to 1939, by members of theUniversity's Oriental Institute, tocomplete the excavation of the wholeterrace. Last month, the first full documentation of the Persepolis site waspresented by the site's field director,Erich H. Schmidt, in a monumentalbook, Persepolis I., published by theUniversity Press.The first definitive report of the Institute's Persian expedition, Persepoliscontains more than three hundredphotographs of the public and residential palaces of Darius and his successors. Among the buildings (shownon the left, reading to the right) areXerxes' Palace, Darius' Palace (aboveXerxes'), the Apadana or audiencehall (with the high columns), XerxesGate (above the Apadana), the Council Hall (below the Apadana), thereconstructed Harem, the Throne Hall(square outline), and (below theThrone Hall) the Treasury.On the following six pages are selections from the pictures in the sixty-five dollar volume.11rrfr wBliMmmTWO HUNDRED and sixty-five feet long, the eastern staircase to theaudience hall (above) told the story of the New Year feast. On thatday, the first of spring, twenty-three nations sent messengers with giftsto the King of Persia. The walls of the hall (or Apadana) picture, inexcellent relief, the different nations and their gifts. The outer wall of thestaircase shows the recurring bull and lion, along with the King's guards,which stand on each side of an inscription by Xerxes, who finished thebuilding after his father, Darius, died. The inscription reads: "SaysXerxes, the great King: What was built by me and what was built elsewhere by me all this I have built by the grace of Ahuramazda. MayAhuramazda protect me with the gods and my kingdom and what wasbuilt by me." Ahuramazda was the 'God of Light'— we now use the lastpart of the name for a light bulb— but he did not do as was asked.The hall originally had 72 great columns, each 65 feet high. On its northside is another staircase, picturing the same scenes. But since it was notcovered by soil and debris, it was exposed for twenty-three centuries tomutilation by climate and the hands of men. In 1932, during the OrientalInstitute's nine year dig, the eastern staircase was discovered, intact.12 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINETHE LION attacking the bull (below) is a scene which appears on thefacades of all major staircases of the Persepolis Terrace. (See theeastern staircase on the left.) Thus it might be considered an heraldicsymbol of Persepolis. Since it is on all the staircases of the audience hall,this combination of animals probably signifies the influence of astrology—both the lion and bull are figures of the zodiac. Furthermore, the NewYear Festival, when the gifts came pouring in, coincided with the springequinox, or about March 21st on the present-day calendar. The savage-ness of this scene, with the blase lion tearing into the rearing bull, ignoresthe prophet Zoroaster's admonition of loving care for the sacred animal.DECEMBER, 1953IN ORIENTAL art, all royalty wasshown on an exaggerated scale,as well as wearers of long beards.Pictured above is one of the tworeliefs discovered in the royal Treasury. Darius, the King, enthroned,has behind him the recognized heirapparent, Xerxes. The lord chamberlain, the King's weapon bearer,and two dignitaries are behind thePrince. A visiting dignitary, bowingrespectfully, is being received instate. The gouged eye of the King,and his shattered scepter, beartimeless testimony to the wrath ofAlexander's men who despoiled theTreasury. The close-up on the left isof the weapon bearer's own sword.14 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEDARIUS the Great, protected bya parasol and the god Ahuramazda, was found depicted on thewalls of different buildings. Thisrelief was discovered on the southern doorway of the Council Hall.One attendant holds the parasol,while the second holds a fly-whisk inone hand and a towel in the other.The god floats above the King, rising from the winged disk with abird's tail, his hand raised in blessing. "By the favor of Ahuramazda"and with the aid of six conspiratorsDarius slew his predecessor. Thus,where goes the King, goes the god.DECEMBER, 1953 15A TRIBUTE delegation of Syrians (above) bring gifts to the king, symbolizinghis political power. Introduced by a Persian usher, far right, the unarmeddelegation leader and five attendants pay homage. All are dressed alike, exceptfor the grooms, who are bareheaded. Th^e gifts include two metal vessels, eachwith two handles ending in winged bulls) two shallow metal bowls, and two oblong rings. All, when given, were made of gold. The chariot resembles the king's,with its axle pin modeled in the form of a human figure. (A cast of this group,along with many other objects from Persepolis, may be found in the Oriental Institute on campus.) The steps (below) are part of a small stairway leading fromthe council hall to the residential area of the Terrace. Two files of alternatingPersian and Median servants carry different kinds of food for the royal table.16 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINECARRYING a towel and cosmeticbottle, a personal servant tothe king (right) stands in a jambof a doorway in Darius' palace.Like the other reliefs in the northernsuites of the palace, this one emphasizes the domestic use of that part ofthe building. The servant, at firstglance, might resemble a woman.But it is a beardless youth. Nowoman was portrayed anywhere. THE GRAY native limestone whichwas used to build Persepolishad faulty spots, which the sculptorsrepaired with neatly fitted patches.The heads of the two attendants(left) were carved on such a repairpatch, for a doorway in the largeharem. The patch fell to the floorwhen the Macedonians destroyedthe building along with the rest ofPersepolis. Twenty-three centurieslater, the Oriental Institute expedition found the patch under a moundof debris and put it back again.DECEMBER, 1953 17How To Run A StoreOr, Edith Rambar Grimm, '27The Executive ExtraordinaryM,Lost department storesturn to established firms for help inpublic relations, promotional campaigns, and special services.

Since she,and her duties, defy classification,Carsons simply invented a title forher six years ago: Consultant to Management.According to a top executive, thisis a stuffy way of saying they thinkshe is terrific. According to Edith thetitle permits her to commit a multitude of sins as a "gimmick girl." Perhaps the best summary of her job wasmade thirty years ago in her highschool yearbook, which prophesied:"Edith . . . will be the creative geniusof some business concern . . . behinda frosted glass marked 'Private,' pacing up and down, tearing her curlyhair, she will be guarded by an officeboy who announces to all, 'Don't disturb her. She's thinking.' "While her hair has stayed intact,"thinking" is the word for it. Fornineteen years Carsons has watchedher bombard the store with highlyprofitable ideas. She originated theFor Men Only Shop, and contrivesdecorative themes and schemes for itto attract male shoppers. The store-wide Bridal Service was initiated byher. Its white -carpet approach hasbrought thousands of brides to buy at Carsons. She expanded the CollegeShop which now boasts the largestCollege Board of any store. She alsodeveloped the store's telephone business.In fact, the telephone order department brought her first big chance atCarsons. The late Mr. Gordon Piriecalled her into his office one clay andasked her what she knew about telephones. "I know how to dial one,"she answered. "Don't be so fresh,"he retorted. "You're going to knowa lot more about them from tomorrowon." He outlined a four-day trip forher in which she was to visit fourstores in the East and check up ontheir switchboard and their order -boards.With her characteristic thoroughness, she stayed away three weeksand visited over forty organizations.She came back with a complete program, and a design for a new order -board which is now used by mostleading department stores.She went on to serve as director ofthe Interior Decorating department.The model rooms she has designedhave a persistent habit of appearingas illustrations for magazine articlesand books as examples of good tastein interior decoration.During World War II, when goodcontemporary furniture was scarce,she inaugurated an 18th Century Vil lage. In it she displayed handsome andserviceable antiques that won merchandising and artistic acclaim.The war years witnessed Carson'sspectacular success in the War BondDrive. Edith Grimm led her owngroup to first place in the store's ten-day campaign with more than fourmillion dollars in Bonds.For nineteen years management haswatched this slim, deep-voiced dynamo operate with enthusiasm, sincerity,and flair. A natural-born seller, shehas the capacity to learn while sheearns. She has a passion for peopleand projects, approaching both withtough-minded objectivity — a qualitywhich some of her male colleagues arequick to claim as "masculine." Butin the next breath they extol her deepsensitivity to the needs and feelingsof others, admitting that this qualityis part of her remarkably femininenature.When an ex-secretary was breaking in a successor, she gave this advice about her boss: "You will findMrs. Grimm an extremely generousperson. She has a fiendish memory,and a marvelous sense of humor."It is no wonder, then, that management is content to make her MinisterWithout Portfolio, with assignmentsthat take her roaming through thehectic merchandising world.Her official roamings have brought18 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEONE OF THE EXPERTS FOR GLAMOUR MAGAZINE'S SEMINAR ON WORKING WOMEN. EDITH MEETS ANOTHER: MISS PERKINSher an associate membership in theAmerican Institute of Decorators —the chairmanship of the Retail Advisory Board of Brides' Magazine —and the regional directorship (1947-'49) of the Chicago Fashion Group.She is much in demand as an M.C.for fashion shows, where her sprightlyad libbing puts the models at ease andthe audience in stitches. She is afeatured speaker on radio, TV, andthe platform. Last spring, in NewYork, both the American Institute ofDecorators and the Home FashionsLeague found her remarks on homefurnishings as witty and sound asthey had hoped they would be. Sheis now doing a radio program "Factsand Fancies" for high school studentssponsored by the Chicago Board ofEducation.There is nothing quite like theChristmas season, however, to puther thoughts into high gear. For,along with everything else, Edith hasthe whopping job of planning andcoordinating the store's over-allChristmas program.In recent months she and her colleagues were busy dreaming upcheery slogans like "Christmas IsMagic . . . Christmas is a Red Bow . . . Christmas is a Pageant" whichnow appear throughout the store asCarson's approach to Christmas. Sheand her Christmas co-chairman, advertising manager Richard Schlesinger, '32, coordinate the planning ittakes to realize a department store'sdriving affirmation that Christmas isBig Business.Mid-November witnessed one of herfavorite Christmas projects. She hadhatched the idea of exhibiting the artwork of students in the Chicago public schools in Carson's State Streetwindows while the display artistsworked behind the drawn curtainscreating the Christmas motif. Eachyear the store awards merchandisecertificates, and Art Institute scholarships, to youngsters whose entries arejudged the best.The story is told about how Edithstood in front of one of the exhibitswhere a cluster of people were admiring a lively picture done by afive-year old. A communicative manon her right burst forth, with obviouspraise, "Can you imagine a department store doing a thing like this?Why these windows are worth thousands of dollars of advertising, andhere they are using them to display children's art work!" Edith turned tohim and said, "No, I can't imagine.What store is this, anyway?" Whenhe answered, "Carson, Pirie, Scott,"Edith glowed.It's a long jump from State andMadison to Seneca Falls, New York,where Edith was born. But a changein scenes provides some perspectiveon how and why she got from a village in the Finger Lakes region tothe World's Busiest Corner.She likes to tell people that SenecaFalls is also the birthplace of theWomen's Rights Movement. If Edithhad been alive in 1848 it is most likelyshe would have had a prominent rolein that first Women's Rights Convention. It may well have been an ambivalent role, however. For while onecan imagine her leading the ladies intheir righteous cause with one hand,one can just as well imagine her distributing pungent little tracts on "Howto Make Men Feel Important" withthe other.It was after the family moved toDetroit that Edith's merchandisingbent first found expression. Herchance came when she was a high-school senior and buyer for a school-wide candy concession.

She sold the mothersand delighted the boys by simply trying the clothes on herself.Edith matriculated for two years atWayne University where she playedmuch tennis, worked on the schoolnewspaper, was the captain of the debating team and the first woman towin the first prize in the school's annual oratory contest.When she transferred to the University of Chicago she was determinedto race through two-years' study inone, and to put all extra-curricularactivities behind her. The attempts ofa class-mate to keep alive Edith's interest in athletics ended in disaster.During her first basketball game inIda Noyes she collided with anotherplayer. They both ended up oncrutches. She hobbled around forweeks, selling her professors on theidea of giving her incompletes.Her spring-quarter dash to make upfor lost time was complicated a fewweeks before final exams by an introduction at a party to the dignified,Hungarian-born Dr. Emery Grimm.He is now an eminent endocrinologiston the faculty of Northwestern University's Medical School, and a staffmember at Wesley Hospital.Her energy and wit prevailed, however. She got her degree that Juneand her man two years later. Andthe University got Edith back this fall as a member of the Senate of theAlumni Association's College Division.After graduation, there was a briefinterlude when Edith, an Englishmajor, taught algebra in a Detroithigh school. Dr. Grimm's proposal ofmarriage interrupted her teachingcareer and brought this wistful farewell note from one of her students:"If you ever come to Detroit, Ithink I'll have a bicycle by then andI'll let you ride it if you care to. Inever thought a school marm couldever ride a bike, but you're different.I guess, anyway, somebody's got to bedifferent. P.S. Tell Dr. Grimm he'sa very lucky man."Dr. Grimm has been trying his luckthrough the years to slow Edith down,admittedly with little success. Hiscalm, collected manner is a complement to her kinetic nature, and theHyde-Park home they have decoratedwith such charm is a restful retreatfrom their demanding careers.A few years after their weddingthey both agreed the role of housewife couldn't contain all of Edith'senergies. With Dr. Grimm's blessingshe went to the late Mr. Gordon Piriewith an idea to sell. Mr. Pirie turnedthe tables and sold Edith on the ideaof going to work for Carsons. She'sbeen working there ever since, although it's another Mr. Pirie she reports to these days, — th,e store's youthful president, John T. Pirie, Jr.Right now, both at home and at thestore, Christmas is the big item onthe agenda.

Boorstin, University of Chicago Press, 1953, 202pages. $3.25.Once upon a time a man of meanssent his niece to a famous university.His golf partner, who was also anewspaper editor with axes of hisown to grind, persuaded him that hisniece was being corrupted by "subversive" professors. He demanded,and got, a legislative investigation.The hearings were hilarious. Aconservative professor who was afierce foe of Marxism admitted assigning Karl Marx in a Social Sciencecourse. A liberal professor admitteda witticism in a public lecture. "U. ofC. Prof.," screamed the headlines,"Denies Free Love Charge." ThePresident eloquently offered philosophical reasons for condemning nonsense. A neurotic woman screamedinsults. Her husband punched a manin the nose. The man of means,prodded by America's most distinguished political scientist, felt pangsof repentance. He finally apologizedand gave the University half a milliondollars. The committee adjourned.The editor committed suicide.Such was the genesis in 1935 — remember? — of the Charles R. WalgrenFoundation for the Study of AmericanInstitutions. Every year thereafterbrilliant Foundation lecturers, ofwhom Walter Lippmann was the firstand Daniel J. Boorstin is the mostrecent, have enlightened the campusand the world on various facets ofthe American dream, with the lecturespublished annually by the U. of C.Press. This most recent volume isamong the most thought-provokingof the lot. Its author has also beenaccused of "subversion" and enjoyedlegislative investigation. All of whichproves that history repeats itself andthat there is Justice in the Universe.Or does it?At all events, such questions are ofno interest to those who judge ideasby content, not by alleged paternity.Dr. Boorstin, Associate Professor ofAmerican History on the Midway,studied at Harvard and Yale, won a"double first" at Oxford as a RhodesScholar, practiced law in England andAmerica, served as Fulbright Professor at the University of Rome, andhas published two other good books. Still, you never can tell. He may yet,once upon a time, have been "subversive." Whether he was or not Ineither know nor care. His reinter-pretation of America in these lecturesis wholly American, utterly non-Marxist and even anti-Marxist, andrefreshingly stimulating.His thesis is unorthodox. He contends that "the genius of Americandemocracy comes not from any special virtue of the American people butfrom the unprecedented opportunitiesof this continent and from a peculiarand unrepeatable combination of historical circumstances . . . Nothingcould be more un-American than tourge other countries to imitate America. We should not ask them to adoptour 'philosophy' because we have nophilosophy which can be exported."With apt quotations and instances,Professor Boorstin seeks to show thatthe American spirit is essentially devoid of ideology and has ever beenpragmatic and existentialist (thoughhe does not use these terms) ; that thePuritans ceased to be Puritans by becoming successful; that the AmericanRevolution was conservative ratherthan radical; that the Civil War, happily, had no significant ideologicalcontent; that Americans dispute overmeans, seldom over ends, not becauseof "immaturity" but because of unityand practicality; and, finally, that "weCHILDREN'S BOOKSThe December Reader's Guide isgetting to be something of a tradition.We have again called upon Mary K.Eakin, librarian, Center for Children'sBooks, because we think Decemberis the time to think about good thingsfor children.Miss Eakin suggests in the following list recent titles which the entirefamily will enjoy reading aloud, andbooks about activities which parentsand children will enjoy doing together.Books to Read AloudAMOS, THE BEAGLE WITH A must refuse to become crusaders forliberalism, in order to remain liberal. . . We must refuse to become crusaders for conservatism, in order toconserve the institutions and thegenius which have made Americagreat."The merit of these essays, whichsound negative in summary albeitbrightly affirmative in their fullness,is that they will arouse sharp controversy. Some will cry "xenophobia"or "isolationism." Others will deplorethe author's denial of an Americanmission. For my own part, I suspectthat he almost proves too much. Federalism could be, as World Federalistswant it to be, an American politicaltheory and practice applicable to theproblems of European unity, the Atlantic community, and world government. Yet the fact that few Americans care, while most prefer to exportmeaningless stereotypes which haveno foreign market, lends weight toDr. Boorstin's argument. With his"moral" I fully concur, as do Hans J.Morgenthau, George F. Kennan, and,belatedly, John Foster Dulles. America cannot negotiate the coming worldsettlement until Americans, no lessthan Russians, abandon messianism,millenarianism, and all thought of"crusades" and "holy wars" and recognize that their way of life is culturally unique and cannot be imposedon a world which will ever remainstubbornly diverse and pluralistic.And, in truth, these very qualitiesconstitute the genius of America itself— and the glory of the University ofChicago.Frederick L.
