M.A*? 933Chairman of the Board, TV AAfter receiving his A.B. fromLawrence College, and spendingfive years on the administrativestaff, Mr. Clapp came to theUniversity for work on his master's, which he completed in1933. After that he went to workfor the then brand new TV A asassistant to Floyd Reeves, (whowas on leave from the University of Chicago) TVA's Director of Personnel. In 1936Clapp became Director of Personnel, in 1939 General Manager, and, in 1946, Chairman ofthe Board of Directors, succeeding David Lilienthal.In a recent opinion of the editors of the New York Times,"his swift rise was due to a combination of technical and administrative proficiency, greatenergy, zeal for the public service, and a grasp of the social andeconomic ideals for which theTV A stands."He was a member of thePresident's Committee on Education from 1936 to 1939. Healso served as Chairman of theU. N. Economic Survey Missionto the Middle East in 1949. Theabove article is abstracted fromthe second of six lectures whichhe gave at the University inFebruary. The series was sponsored by the Walgreen Foundation and will be published bythe Press, probably in the Springof 1955.IVlONEY, MATERIALS, machines,and men are the basic ingredientsin building a dam. And the greatestof these is men. The TVA has built20 dams in 20 years. These damsrepresent 760 million dollars. Onehundred and thirteen (113) millioncubic yards of concrete, rock andearth fill, 12 times the bulk of theseven great pyramids of Egypt, havebeen used to build these structuresinto the river bed of the Tennesseeand its tributaries. Almost 200 thousand different men and women at onetime or another have been employedby the TVA for a direct part of thiscolossal job.Construction work in any season inany climate cannot put comfort aboveachievement. But if the planners,builders, and managers know andhave faith in men, they will contriveto make the process of constructionsatisfying to those who do the work— a theater for the kind of creativeexperience in which men build themselves as they build a dam.The TVA has built these 20 damsin 20 years with its own employees.Each structure was placed, designed,and built to serve a purpose peculiarto itself. Taken together, they form aunit for the control and productivityof a great river system. There is Fon-tana Dam — fourth largest and highestin the world — rising 480 feet abovebed rock in a canyon of the NorthCarolina mountains. There is Kentucky Dam, near the mouth of theTennessee River as it flows into theOhio near Paducah, more than a mileMR. GORDON R. CLAPP— MAN AT WORKAPRIL, 1954 and a half long, with two -thirds ofits concrete bulk invisible, reachingdown a hundred feet through softoverburden to the solid limestonerock. Kentucky's foundations are especially designed to withstand earthquakes such as the one which occurred and changed the course of theMississippi more than a hundred yearsago. The shoreline of the 184 mile-long lake behind Kentucky Dam, ifstraightened out, would reach fromChicago to Los Angeles. This greatreservoir can regulate the full flowof a flooded Tennessee River to reduce flood crests on the lower Ohioand Mississippi.There are more figures. One couldillustrate the size of these operationsby pointing out that the 22 millionacre-feet of water which can bestored behind TVA's dams could coverthe entire State of Illinois to a depthof eight inches. But these dams werenot built for the purpose of impressivestatistics. They were built to carryout the purposes specified by the Congress of the United States in the TVAAct of 1933. They were built to control the devastating floods of a riverwhose annual discharge equals thatof the Missouri, to provide a new inland waterway for the benefit of ournational commerce. These dams werebuilt to turn the potential electricalenergy of the untamed river into thepushbuttons and motors of more thana million and a quarter homes andindustries.The construction of a dam involvesa careful fit of a whole new landscapeinto the economy and mores of thesurrounding area. In the process ofbuilding these dams and planting in3the powerhouses the quiet hum ofelectric energy, 15,000 families wereobliged to move from the backwaterareas to be flooded. Flowage rightsor full ownership had to be purchasedcovering 35,000 tracts of land comprising about a million acres. Morethan 19,000 graves were moved tonew places of rest; 170 schoblhouses,180 churches, and, in some instances,whole towns and villages were relocated or physically reorganized tomake way for the lakes behind thedams.Human PersuasionRoads, railroads, and bridges werethe subject of negotiation, an agreement, an equitable transaction, involving county courts, state and Federal agencies. Owners, congregations,nearest of kin, village councils, whoever and whatever had a right or areason to be consulted or consideredin making the new shoreline an accepted and acceptable part of thelandscape, were involved in the result.For every cubic yard of concrete andevery ton of steel now solidly fusedinto TVA dams there were dozens oftransactions among people, involvingfamily history, the future of communities, the plans of the local and stateagencies, the future use of the newlakes, and the power to be extractedfrom these new waters by the magicof the dynamo.Every one of these tens of thousands of transactions and agreementshad to proceed under a schedule thatwas determined by the date the reservoir was scheduled to begin filling.While concrete was being placed atthe dam site, land buyers, family relocation specialists, reservoir timberclearance crews, surveyors relocatingrailroad and highway lines, even tech nicians from the universities excavating the artifacts from ancient Indianmounds — all who had part in thiscomplex task — were working underdeadlines. They were deadlines dictated by water and weather, but determined by TVA engineers to makeefficient use of the taxpayers' dollars.Experienced engineers must schedule the tempo of a dam's constructionto bring each major stage of the structure to the point where floods orwinter rains cannot hinder the workor undo what has been done. It takescost- conscious engineering to fit theseparate construction operations together so that the new dam will beready to hold back the seasonal floodsand convert their .force into use andrevenue. If a dam is ready before theseasonal stream flow comes to fillthe reservoir, months of idle investment add to the cost of the dam. Ifthe gates of the dam are not ready tobe closed when the heavy flows come,flood control is delayed and powerrevenues are lost. Weeks and days,according to seasons, count heavily inthe economy of rebuilding a river.And it ^ takes a kind of skill inhuman persuasion, too. A family living in a mountain cove miles from theriver, whose property was below thewhite-staked contour line set by aTVA survey party, might not believethat a lake would by a future definitedate submerge their home. It wassometimes necessary to persuade themto visit a dam already built, showthem the lake, and by map explainthe inevitable course of water alonga contour, set by the height of a dammany miles and ridges away.If a single family remained withinthe contour lines the water wouldreach by a certain date, the timegained and the money saved by managerial and engineering skill at the COLBERTSTEAM PLAN?M I S Smsite of the dam would be lost.

During the war thegates on a new dam were ready tobe closed when the last remainingfamily, ready to move to a new farmlocation, was delayed. An aged grandfather suddenly became ill with pneumonia. To move him invited graverisk. For several days, while TVAand a host of other agencies stood byhelpfully and hopefully, the closureof the dam was postponed.These may seem to be small details,but I mention them for a special reason. They are, perhaps, illustrationsof a special kind of accountability fora human result, going far beyond engineering precision, that recurs againand again in any fair recital of TVA'swork. No greater testimony can befound to demonstrate the eschewmentof autocratic methods by TVA, thesympathetic understanding, the highskill as a builder, the concern forhuman rights and dignity than thisfact: the people of the Tennessee Val ley came to cherish the TVA as aninstitution among them.Certainly the story of how TVArebuilt the Tennessee River does notsupport the too-often accepted myththat anything of Government is inefficient, corrupt, and wasteful. WhatI have described would find manyparallels among many Governmentagencies within the states, within thecities, within the Federal Government.But these stories of achievement areseldom heard against the din of criticism.Consider a recent chapter in thehistory of TVA — the story of theShawnee Steam Plant at Paducah,Kentucky. Except for TVA's Kingston Steam Plant, the Shawnee SteamPlant will be the biggest in the world.During each 24-hour day its 10 giantunits will consume nearly 14,000 tonsof coal and can return each day tothe alchemy of national defense andthe growth of the nation more thanAPRIL, 1954 5 - •- • fff T*f**r~~ snrfftr-jFONTANA DAM, FOURTH LARGEST AND HIGHEST IN THE WORLD, BUILT 480 FEET ABOVE BED ROCK ON 24-HOUR SCHEDULEhalf as much electric energy as isused in Chicago. The Shawnee SteamPlant is but one of seven TVA isbuilding, but it has a special history.In the fall of 1950 the Atomic Energy Commission asked TVA, on veryshort notice, to develop a proposal tosupply one million kilowatts of powerfor a new gaseous diffusion plant theAEC was to build at Paducah.The TVA submitted a plan and theAtomic Energy Commission acceptedit early in November of 1950. Shortlythereafter, the Commission's representatives, followed by the TVA, appeared before the House Committeeon Appropriations to support TVA'srequest for funds. Later in December,before the Committee had acted uponthe TVA's request for appropriations,the Atomic Energy Commission an nounced that it had accepted the proposal of a newly formed privateutility company to supply half the required power for the AEC plant. Thenew company had been formed at thebehest of a member of the AtomicEnergy Commission as subsequentlyexplained by the Commissioner in avery illuminating speech.TVA did not object to this reversal of the Atomic Energy Commission's position and appeared againbefore the House Committee on Appropriations with an appropriationrequest, revised in accord with AEC'sdecision, to supply, not all, but halfof the power supply for the Paducahplant. The Atomic Energy Commission entered into a contract with thenewly formed Electric Energy, Incorporated, to supply the other half. In both cases the construction of newsteam plants was called for.The announcement that the powersupply for the AEC Paducah plantwas to be divided between TVA andElectric Energy, Inc., was hailed bycritics of the TVA as a contest between public and private enterprise,giving rise to such statements as thefollowing, which appeared in an Illinois paper:"Accordingly many companies pooledtheir ideas and their resources . . . forthe expressed purpose of demonstrating to the government that privateenterprise could do the job much better for half the cost."There was some reason for the optimism thus expressed by TVA's sideline critics, for when the constructionof the two plants was started, the6 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEfirst unit of the private company'sJoppa Steam Plant was scheduled forinitial operation three months aheadof TVA's first unit. The scheduleswere set by agreement between AEC,national defense agencies in charge ofallocating materials, the TVA, andEEInc. Priorities on steel, copper,aluminum, and shop space for themanufacturing of turbogeneratorswere granted to the Joppa contractorson that basis. If this was to be a race,it was a handicap run by agreement.Shawnee aheadFor many months the champions ofprivate enterprise continued to pointa gleeful finger at this rigged contestbetween the private power companyand the TVA. Trade journals andsome of the daily press heralded this"race" being run on opposite sides ofthe beautiful Ohio. After a while,the cries of the professional spectatorsdied down. The reason was easy todiscern. It began to be apparent thatthe wrong horse was coming in ahead.Both TVA and EEInc suffered fromdelayed deliveries from equipmentmanufacturers. Both encountered labor difficulties. Both projects missedthe completion dates originally scheduled.But on April 9, 1953, approximatelytwo years and three months from thetime construction was started, thefirst unit at TVA's Shawnee plant wasplaced in commercial operation whilethe Joppa smokestacks across theriver were still clean and cold. TVA'ssecond Shawnee unit went into operation June 21, 1953. Still no smokefrom Joppa. Several weeks later thefirst unit in the Joppa plant was placedin operation. TVA's third Shawneeunit was placed in operation in October; its fourth unit on January 8,1954. By this time two of the fourJoppa units were running. Thus theoriginal requirements promised theAEC by TVA were completed whenthe Joppa plant still had a long wayto go. So much for the much publicized race between private and publicenterprise.There is more to the story. On thebasis of figures filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, theprivate company's Joppa plant will besubstantially more expensive per unitof capacity than the Shawnee plantin contrast with the original estimatesby which the contract was obtainedfrom the AEC.These figures show that the estimated cost of the private companyJoppa Steam plant of four originalunits has increased some 45 percent —from $81,000,000 in May 1951 to $118,000,000 in June 1953. The costsper kilowatt of capacity have increased over their original estimateof $126 to $184. . Two more units atthe Joppa plant being added to supply a smaller portion of AEC's expanded Paducah facilities show estimates even higher — $198 per kw. Thetaxpayers bought this record, andthey will have to pay for it; the private companies lose nothing becausethese increased costs are paid by theAEC.In comparison, the TVA Shawneeplant of four units was originallyestimated to cost $147.50 per kw.TVA's actual cost experience to date,while building under the same physical conditions as the Joppa plant,shows that the total ten-unit Shawneeplant capable of producing 1,500,000kw will be completed by TVA at a capital cost well within our estimates.Let me add a few footnotes andobservations bearing upon the significance of the Shawnee-Joppa story inTVA's record in these past 20 years.On July 31, 1953, EEInc announcedit had cancelled its contract with itsgeneral contractor for the plant, "inorder to permit reorganization of theconstruction project so that the station can be completed on a more efficient and economical basis." The reorganization was necessary, accordingto the President of EEInc, as reportedin the Paducah Sun-Democrat, "because of the lack of productivity andconsequent increased costs characterizing the work so far."The Wall Street Journal reportedthat "Construction progress at the bigpower plant has been marked by successively rising cost estimates, blamedOWNER OF FIELD ON LEFT ENTERED TVA TEST-DEMONSTRATION ANTI-EROSION PLANby Ebasco on the labor situation."However, as the Paducah Sun-Democrat pointed out: "ShawneeSteam Plant is being built with thesame kind of union labor that isbuilding Joppa's plant."The comment of the Paducah Sun-Democrat was correct in all respectsbut one. The TVA was building theShawnee plant with the same kind ofunion labor that was building theJoppa plant, but the men on the TVAjob were working for the TVA. Foras one reporter, who surveyed thesituation with great care, stated, "forsome reason the men who work for TVA have faith in it." TVA does notconsider its Shawnee record thebrightest in its catalog of constructionprojects. We have built dams andsteam plants on better schedule, withfewer difficulties, and at lower cost.But others invited the comparison between Shawnee and Joppa.We have had work stoppages onthe Shawnee plant, but not as manyas they have had across the river atJoppa. We have drawn our laborforces from the same areas; we payabout the same wages; and we areboth building steam plants. The design and manufacture of boilers, tur bines, and generators; the fabricationof steel; the erection of steel on thesite; the operation of excavating equipment; and the placing of concrete aremuch the same types of operationswhether at Shawnee or at Joppa. Bothprojects depended upon private manufacturers for boilers, turbo-generators, and the thousands of items ofequipment which enter the maze ofarrangements in a modern steamplant. Why then was TVA able tomove out in front and keep its costswithin its estimates as compared withthe job across the river? The historyof TVA provides the answer: the 20-SHAWNEE STEAM PLANT ON THE OHIO RIVER NEAR PADUCAH, BEGUN IN 1951, WILL BE WORLD'S LARGEST WHEN FINISHED IN '55THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE72 FEET HIGH, 6,342 FEET LONG, WHEELER DAM ON THE TENNESSEE NORTHERN ALABAMA, RUNS GENERATORSyear record of an organization skilledin management of men and materialsand pledged to a practice of performance and accountability time aftertime.The Shawnee story adds anotherchapter to record the achievement bya Government agency in conflict withthe myth that enterprise and goodmanagement are the exclusive possessions of private organizations. Themen who promoted the arrangementperhaps believed that the requirements of national security, in certainty of achievement to supply powerwhen the Paducah AEC plant wasready, called for participation by private companies to hedge the possiblefailure of the TVA. Perhaps therewas not time enough to examine thefacts of TVA's past record. Perhapsthe American taxpayer could havebeen saved the burden of the increased cost to the Government ofthis electrical energy had those whomade the decision questioned thecommon myth, too often honored,which holds that Government cannever do a job as well or as economically as can private contractors. Hadthe facts been examined, one wouldhave found a record of performancereassuring both as to TVA's ability tomeet deadlines and as to the reliability of its estimates of cost. One wouldhave found a history of hundreds ofmillions of man-hours with a safetyrecord better than private industryaverages for comparable types of workas shown by TVA's numerous awardsfrom the National Safety Council. Onewould have found an engineeringorganization designing steam plantswhich were producing electricity moreeconomically and with more efficientuse of fuel than most — a significantpoint indeed when one realizes thatin two or three years TVA will be burning some 18 million tons of coalper year. Above all, one would havefound an organization of constructionworkers still as unafraid to tackle thebiggest construction job on earth asin those first days — workers who override emergencies; if they do not havewhat they need, they invent a substitute way on the spot, and the jobmoves ahead. If this story has amoral, perhaps this is it: Enterpriseis where you find it.The record of TVA men and management in rebuilding a river willnever completely be told, the resultsof this achievement can be put intowords. Briefly: the flow of water inthe river is now controlled. The devastation of floods has been reduced tomanageable proportions. Already thesavings from TVA's control of floodsat one city alone — Chattanooga — havetotaled more than one-fourth of theflood control investment in the entireriver system. Other regions benefit,too, for TVA dams reduce the crestsof floods on the lower Ohio and theMississippi by the two or three feetwhich make the difference betweensafety and community disaster. Thatmuch is done. Those benefits willgrow while the expenditures diminish.Men at workNavigation locks in the dams anda stable channel have made possiblea growing commerce on the river.More commerce means more jobs,new markets, and greater economicopportunities for the people of thisregion and the Mississippi Valley. In1933, the year TVA began its work,about 33 million ton-miles of freightwere shipped on the river, cargo, forthe most part, of low value. Last yearthe rebuilt river carried 1 billion ton-miles, much of it of high value prod ucts — petroleum, automobiles, grain,coal, and fertilizer. More commercewill be carried every year. Greatersavings to shippers and to consumerswill be added each year.The dams are here to stay. Concrete, earth fill, and rock make thema permanent part of a landscape morehospitable to human endeavor than itused to be. New kinds of enterprisesfind a climate for growth in this areabecause the river is controlled. Forthe dams that hold back the watersin time of floods, and fill the channelin time of drought, create beautifullakes, a setting for the third largestand newest business of the area — recreation. And for good measure, thesemajestic dams provide the electricpower which has changed the lives ofpeople on their farms, in their homes,and in new industries throughout theregion.This is a record of men at work.There was no Aladdin's lamp available for TVA to use. Geologists andengineers, cartographers and surveyors, accountants and land buyers,draftsmen and doctors, union leaders,ironworkers, carpenters — the hard-hat legions of TVA's constructioncrews — men of more than a score ofprofessions and hundreds of occupations, have dedicated their talents tothis job. In these 20 years, scores ofthousands of American citizens haveworked with TVA at one time oranother up and down the TennesseeValley, driving machines, movingmountains to build these great projects to serve mankind. Not, like thepyramids, as monuments to men oflofty station. Not for the glory ofdesigners, engineers, or workmen. Notfor the profit of a few. The purposeof the structures stands inscribed upon each one — "Built for the People ofthe United States."APRIL, 1954 9ONE OF TWENTY-TWO REUNION TOURS, AN EXHIBITION OF POTTERY; GUESTS: ROBERT G.

Scholarships for the program are available.A new feature of the '54 summersession will be a linguistic institute, sponsored by the University and theLinguistic Society of America.The Institute will bring togethertwenty-five language authorities whowill present more than 30 languagesfrom American Indian to Venetic inan eight-week session, June 21 toAugust 14.The total program of the summersession includes more than 800 coursesand 14 special conferences, institutesand workshops, which will be heldfor varying periods between June 21and August 28.Named professorshipshave been added to the titles ofDr. Walter L. Palmer, one of the eightoriginal faculty members of the 26-year old medical center, and to Dr.William E. Adams, Professor of Medicine.Dr. Palmer was named the RichardT. Crane Professor of Medicine, achair established by Charles andRichard Crane as a tribute to their10 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEfather, former head of the CraneCompany.The James Nelson Raymond andAnna Louise Raymond surgery professorship which Dr. Adams nowholds, honors the late James Raymond, industrialist, and his wife, aChicago philanthropist.Education chairman,Mr. Maurice Seay, is leaving hispost this spring to become Directorof Education of the Kellogg Foundation. Dr. Seay has been at the University for the past three and a halfyears. His new post will consist ofmaking major policies with respectto raising funds for educational programs.A new trustee memberis Harold A. Moore, senior vice-president of Chicago Title and TrustCo., who brings to thirteen the number of alumni members on the board.Mr. Moore has been cited by theAlumni Association for his leadership in community affairs. He is amember of the executive committeeof the Community Fund of Chicago,a director of the Welfare Council ofMetropolitan Chicago and the USO,and a member of the board of theSalvation Army.He is also chairman of the boardof Chicago Better Business Bureauand a past president of the ChicagoMortgage Bankers Association andthe Executives Club of Chicago.The Chandler Medalof Columbia University, for outstanding achievement in chemistry,was awarded to Willard Libby, Professor of Chemistry, and discovererof the carbon-14 method of datingthe past.Dr. Libby's work has made it possible for the first time to date precisely any organic remains of the last25,000 years, by showing the extentof loss of carbon-14 — which is foundin all living things — in the remains oforganic material of the past.A new type inhalatorfor polio victims and lung-surgerypatients has been devised by Dr.E. Trier Morch, Professor of Anesthesiology at Billings.Dr. Morch has a talent for usingunlikely materials to produce highlysatisfactory results. This is the second inhalator he has designed, andwas built from a compressor salvagedfrom the Kansas City floods and amotor from a discarded milking machine. His device is unique in permitting control of both the breathing rate and the pressure of the air reaching the patient's lungs. It also sucksthe air out of the patient's lungs.It has advantages over the iron lungbecause it permits easier access to thepatient for routine checkups andnursing care. It has been used in morethan 100 cases of chest surgery,where the breathing of the patientshas been affected.

MORCH AND HIS NEW INHALATORf>APRIL, 1954 11by Robert M. StrozierDean of StudentsReflections After1 DON'T KNOW HOW the Father ofour Country would have reacted toWoody Herman and his Third Herd,but seven hundred dancing studentscertainly produced a spectacular effect at the Washington Promenadethis year on February 20th. For thefirst time in many years the scene ofthis February's battle was BartlettGym. I think the students would allagree it was a red, white, and bluesuccess, even though the programomitted the minuet.The dance climaxed a whole weekend of University celebration. University Theatre presented "The Playboy of the Western World," Acro-theatre brilliantly twisted and turned,the fraternities burned the midnightoil, and after the Prom, about 300students had breakfast together in theCommons at one o'clock in the morning. While the Dean of Students foundWoody Herman's rhythms quite achallenge, he did enjoy the honor ofcrowning the Queen of the Ball, andescorting her at the head of the somewhat more sedate Grand March. Janice Porter, the Queen, is an excellentstudent in the College, and an activeparticipant in the life of the campus.She made a strikingly handsome firstlady of the Prom.This year's Prom is cause for realenthusiasm about the resurgence ofinterest in things extra-curricular onthe campus.Alma Mullin, in her second yearin charge of the social program onthe campus, has made a definite contribution to the enrichment of social life at the University. Alma is thewi|e of Joe Mullin who was for manyyears the Dean of Students in theDivision of the Biological Sciencesand is now the Dean of the ChicagoMedical College in the city. She isthe mother of Mike and Mark Mullinwho have appeared for the AlumniAssociation with the Quiz Kid program and who had many appearanceson that program during the last fewyears. Mike is now a student in theCollege.Into the fieldMrs. Kimpton recently entertainedin her home the girls' clubs and theirrushees of the mid -year class at atea to which the wives of many ofthe administrative officers of the University were invited, as well as allof the advisers of the girls' clubs.This strengthens the positions of theclubs whicli have not been as strongin recent years as before the war.It has been my great good fortunethis year to visit about twenty -fiveAlumni Clubs. Without being effusiveon the subject, I should like to statean impression which I have had sincemy first visit to an alumni organization in 1946-47, my first year as Deanof Students. Regardless of whetherthe club is located in a small town inTexas or in New York City, there isalways a group of highly intelligentmembers who provide stimulatingquestions and who appreciate thework of the University. It is an extremely gratifying experience to get into the field and to meet the formerstudents of the University in theirhome cities. The increased number ofgifts to the University from the alumniis solid testimony to the appreciationthe alumni have for the magnificentwork the Chancellor is doing with thealumni groups all over the country.He has been tireless in his efforts tointerpret to them the work of theUniversity. The fact that EdwardRyerson, Chairman of the Board ofTrustees, and his lovely wife havetaken time to accompany the Chancellor on some of his trips has givenencouragement within and withoutthe University.The Chicago Review represents themost interesting resuscitation of anyactivity on the campus at the presenttime. Chip Karmatz, the young editorfrom the Division of the Humanities,has revived the Review, and madeit an absolutely first-rate publication. Napier Wilt, Dean of theDivision of the Humanities and a mannot known for his unrestrained enthusiasms, feels that the Review is agreat credit to the University. Heand other members of the HumanitiesDivision and Morton Grodzins, Editorof the Press, are all giving ardentsupport to this publication.Our reputationThose of us who are so deeply involved in the everyday life of theUniversity sometimes forget the tremendous reputation the institutionenjoys abroad. I think the University12 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEFiveis the outstanding center in the MiddleWest for international learning. Morethan four hundred foreign studentsstudy here each year, and the campusis visited annually by scores of distinguished scholars from other landsbrought to this country by variousfoundations, the Department of State,and other agencies.Recently Walter Johnson and I proposed to the Council of the UniversitySenate that the University establisha special committee to draw togetherand spark the many activities on thecampus in the area of internationalexchange. Dick McKeon was madechairman of the committee composedof Walter Johnson, Paul Weiss, FredHarbison, Marshall Stone, and me.Bill Birenbaum is the secretary ofthe committee.One of our first projects hasbrought to the campus this winter tendistinguished educational administrators from the Middle East and Asiato participate in a seminar on educational administration. The groupwhich came in January is composedof: M. S. Doraiswami, Principal, University College of Arts, Osmania University, Hyderabad, India; Dr. C. S.Venkateswaran, Principal and Headof the Department of Physics, Tra-vancore University, India; Dr. H,Sinha, Principal, Nagpur Mahavidya-laya, Nagpur University, India; Safael-din Abdul Aziz Khulusi, Professor of Arabic, Higher Teachers' Train-REPORTER & DEAN— ROBERT M. STROZIERAPRIL, 1954ing College, Baghdad, Iraq; SukichNimmanheminda, Former Minister ofIndustries, Thailand; Mr. Kafafi,Egypt; Abdul Hamid, Senior Lecturerin Political Science, Government College, Lahore, Punjab Government,Pakistan; Hyder Husain, Professorand Head of the Department of Geography, Government College, Dacca,East Bengal, Pakistan; Nicolas Panta-zopoulos, Professor of Greek andRoman Law, University of Salonica,Greece; and John Theodorakipoulos,Professor of Philosophy, University ofAthens, Greece.The State Department and the Conference Board of the Associated Research Councils has sponsored numerous educators from abroad for visitsof three months to this country, butmost of the people have gone onjunkets from school to school without any organized program. Many ofus have felt that this is an unwiseplan as the visitor is likely to endhis sojourn in this country with onlya kaleidoscopic view of Americaneducational practices. Walter Johnson, the chairman of the board offoreign scholarships, and I have both'protested publicly this practice.ExplorersAs a result we are providing anexperiment which we hope will formsomething of a pattern for the futurehandling of such visitors. Our grouparrived near the first of February andare not enrolled in any classes whatsoever. I made a schedule for themto meet most of the administrativeofficers of the University and as a result they have explored, with or without direction, the main administrativepractices of the University. TheChancellor and Vice-President Harrison have both received them andtalked with them about the generaladministrative practices. They havelistened to a recording in the Counseling Center, visited the libraries,and, in fact, almost every major officeon the Quadrangles. The results havebeen very encouraging. They willleave after the end of the WinterQuarter to spend some time at otherinstitutions, and when they approachother institutions they will do so withwide knowledge of a single institution at their command.With the aid of the Hazen Foundation the Committee on InternationalExchanges is sponsoring a conferencein June which will bring togetherthirty -five distinguished scholars fromabroad who are ending their stay inthis country. An equal number ofAmerican scholars will also attend theconference. The four-day conference WASH PROM QUEEN, SIXTEEN-YEAR-OLD JANICE PORTER (CENTER) AND COURTwill be concerned with discussionsabout the effects of their stay in thiscountry, the implications of international exchanges, and may point theway to better practices in international exchanges in the future.Distinguished educators will addressthe conference, but for the most part,the sessions will be informal.The University's participation in international exchanges is impressive inany case. There are at the presenttime more than 400 foreign studentson the campus representing more than40 countries. International House has60% of its residents from the foreigngroup and others are scattered throughthe neighborhood. The CatholicChurch has two houses in the neighborhood which assist in orientingforeign students, and the EpiscopalChurch, the Brent House, which isconcerned particularly with orientalstudents.Our athletic teams are enjoying oneof their most successful seasons inmany years. There was one weekendthis winter in which Chicago was the winner of three different types ofathletic events: track, swimming, andbasketball. The bleak, lean period ofthe basketballers seems to be drawingto an end, and the present season hasseen as many wins as losses for thefirst time in several years. The JuniorVarsity squad won the Private SchoolLeague Championship under the ablecoaching of Joe Stampf , and Ted Hay-don's track team continues to be outstanding. The other members of theathletic staff have contributed to thesuccesses: Nels Norgren in basketball, Bud Beyer in Acrotheatre andgymnastics, Bill Moyle in swimming.Things are looking up at Bartlett.Sweetness and lightLest the impression be gained thatall is sweetness and light on theQuadrangles, it should be stated thatwe still enjoy our quota of tumultand controversy in student life. Thetwo political parties which comprisethe Student Government still engagein pyrotechnic displays which make14 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEthe Republicans and the Democratsseem pale by comparison. Of course,occasionally the authority representedby the Dean of Students Office becomes a convenient target. Studentpolitics on the campus are complicated and vigorous. The Maroon andthe majority party of the StudentGovernment often are not in accord,and a recent editorial in the paperlumped in one grand attack the Deanof Students, the Student Government,the Student-Faculty Court, and oneof the student political parties. I thinkour students, generally speaking, arenot only bright and intelligent, butadept at careful examination of everypremise. In the political arena thisadeptness sometimes gives the impression of greater disunity than actually exists. On the whole the feeling on the campus is good, althoughit might be difficult for a person offcampus to read the Maroon and notget the impression that most of thestudents are quarreling constantlywith each other and with the Administration.The passion of our students forcontroversy is their reflection of theUniversity tradition. The Universityseems to have a knack for washingits dirty linen in public, and perhapsthe long-run effect of this is not allbad. One of the things which impresses our foreign visitors most isour frank give-and-take on contro versial issues. While many of us here,who were a part of the recent greatdebate concerning the College program, deplored the many garbled andpremature reports in the press aboutwhat was going on, I have had manyvisitors to the campus describe theseevents to me as examples of greatintellectual excitement, and as proofof an independence and vigor muchadmired and envied. Those of us whoknow of the University's history sincethe days of Harper, know that this isa part of our tradition — a traditionwhich we are proud of — and which,perhaps, is a necessary ingredient inthe greatness of the University.Quiet, hard workThe Administrative Officers feelthat sometimes it would be more comfortable if there were less excitement,less talk, and more quiet hard work.Objectively, we must realize thathard work goes on everywhere amongthe students, the faculty, and theAdministration, and that the atmosphere in which the work is done isone which is peculiar to this institution. It is as much a part of us as arethe gray towers, the Midway, and thegreat members of the faculty. Interpreting this atmosphere to a personwho has never known it is not easy.Re-interpreting it for people whohave experienced it is a pleasure.BROAD JUMPER LANDING— DAVE SHEPARD TOOK THIRD IN WIN OVER THREE TEAMSAPRIL, 1954 15PERCEPTION:LEARNEDORINNATE?Leghorn chickspeck atnothingand prove thatthey knew it wasthere all thetime\jt HICKENS, to most people, do twothings when they peck for food. Theyuse only one eye at a time, and theylearn' to hit the food by "trial anderror." Most scientists agreed withthese ideas. One who did not is Eck-hard Hess, Associate Professor ofPsychology.Where was the proof? What if theyused both eyes? Did they then have three-dimensional vision similar toother animals, to man? More important: If chickens saw in three dimensions, did they "localize" objectsthrough experience or because of aninnate ability to place objects inspace?To find out, Professor Hess designedlatex helmets with goggles that wouldcontrol a chicken's vision. He made them small, because he knew that hewould have to work with animalswhich had never looked at anything —in this case newborn chicks. The helmet lenses were made of narrow plastic prisms, mathematically designed tocant the field of vision a knpwn distance. Some of the goggles shiftedthe vision to the right, others to theleft, and some would bring the object16 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEsoifo:mSGatiSSBBtoiPROFESSOR HESS AND FRIENDcloser than it actually was. For hiscontrol group Hess made helmets withno distortion in the lenses.For his subjects he chose twenty-eight Leghorn eggs. After the chickswere hatched, in complete darkness,the thin rubber hoods were placedover their heads as fast as possibleso that they would have no experiencewith normal vision. All animals were kept in complete darkness to becomeaccustomed to the helmets. Beforethey were one day old the chicks weretested on two objects: individualgrains of mash, and a brass brad — thehead of which was about two millimeters in diameter. While theypecked at the mash slow-motion pictures were taken. The brad was imbedded in modeling clay, so that it could not be moved, and so that theimprint of the pecks in the clay wouldresult in a measurable record of thedifferent attempts to hit the brad.The results, reported in Hess' paperwhich he presented at a convention ofthe American Psychological Association began to answer his questions."Pecks made by all chicks were ratherscattered during the first test," heAPRIL, 1954 17ATTEMPT OF CHICK WITH PLAIN GOGGLES (ABOVE) SHOWS PECKS AROUND BRAD wrote. "There was one fundamentaldifference, however, in the way thisscattering showed up. In the controlgroup (with plain goggles) all peckswere scattered about the object sothat the object itself formed the nucleus of the various scattered pecks.Those chicks which had glasses displacing the visual image to the rightmade their pecks in a scattering whichwas entirely to the right of the objects. Similarly, the group which hadglasses displacing the image to theleft showed a scattering of pecks tothe left of the object . . ."On the tests made between thethird and fourth day there had beena good increase in accuracy on thepart of the control chicks so that nowtheir pecks clustered quite closelyabout the objects ... In the two othergroups a similar improvement hadtaken place. The actual pecks wereclustered just as tightly. In otherwords, increased accuracy certainlyhad been achieved. The cluster ofthese accurately made pecks was,however, approximately four millimeters to the right and left respectively of the object, depending onwhich glases were worn by the experimenting animal."Both eyesWith the groups of birds wearingthe goggles which made the image ofan object closer, Professor Hess' slow-motion films showed them pecking infront of the object.To Professor Hess the conclusionsindicate that the chicks have an inborn capacity to locate objects wherethey see them to be. In his more precise words, "There is certainly an un-LEFT- AND RIGHT-DEFLECTING LENSES (ABOVE & BELOW) CAUSE SIMILAR MISSES.

"The second conclusion tobe drawn is perhaps not as clean, butit would appear that the effect ofpractice is quite independent of anylearning in the strict sense. If thiswere not true, and if learning indeedplayed a part so that the animal wouldreceive feed-back from the errors ithad made . . . then improvementshould have occurred in a rather shorttime because the chick learns ratherquickly to adjust itself to visual learning situations."Chickens, then, much like humanbeings, use both eyes and have 3-Dperception.

'12, Ph.D. '20. Chicago,The University of Chicago Press, 1953;x, 314 pp. $6.00.This book represents a valuablecontribution to the literature on neglected children, which, reflectingpublic thinking, has shown much concern with some neglected children,such as orphans or adopted children,and little with stepchildren. Withvery few exceptions, workers in thearea of human relationships haverecognized the adopted child as aserious problem but have not concerned themselves with the stepchild.Yet, as Professor Smith tells us, probably more than six per cent of allchildren are stepchildren. Parallelingthis neglect of a positive approach tothe problem of step-relationships isthe powerfully negative approach revealed in folklore. There is a sharpdiscrepancy between absence of scientific observation and tremendouspopular concern as seen in fairy tales.This volume emphasizes the pernicious influence of the fairy talestereotype of the vicious stepmotherand the unfortunate stepchild. Drawing on fiction, biography, newspaperstories and case studies, the authorshows how widespread this stereotype is, not only in fairy tales butpresent-day life, and how poisonousits influence is on many step-relationships. In actuality, of course, thereare at least as many good as badstepparents.One of the author's most valuablecontributions in this volume is hisstress on the problems faced by stepparents. Both parent and child arein an extremely difficult situation. Inorder to succeed with each other, theyhave to fight a deeply entrenchedstereotype of their relationship. It issurprising, considering the barriers,that so many stepchildren and stepparents achieve success in it. Thedifficulties of the stepmother arenicely summed up by the author whenhe says that we define her first as acruel, vicious, violent person, andthen make her fit the definition. "Weforget all that the psychologists andeducators have taught us aboutindividual differences; we make norealistic examination of the total personality concerned but react to thegeneralized category even though itdoes not accord with actuality. This hangs a millstone about the neck ofthe stepmother and makes the rolean exceedingly difficult one. Rarelydoes a fostermother have any suchonus heaped upon her, but she isusually considered kind and motherly.A comment on an adopted child washeard recently: Isn't Robert a fortunate child to have such a home!' "It is usually assumed that adoptiveparents will be good parents. Thestepmother stereotype is so influentialthat it leads to. attitudes such as thatshown by a young woman who saidof herself: "When I was a little girl,if my parents disciplined me, I wouldsay that they were stepparents because real parents would not treatme that way."Smith also comments on a girl who"related that her father, a Pennsylvania coalminer, was killed and thatthen her mother was remarried to aman w]io 'treated me awful.' She remained' at home for six years untilshe was fifteen and then ran away.She said that her stepfather used tothrash her once in a while. Thesetwo statements give the only information we have about the step -relationship." Nevertheless, everybody wasready to believe that the girl's truancywas the fault of the stepfather.Much of the book is devoted to discussing how stepparent and stepchildcan adjust better to each other. Itcontains excellent advice to stepparents and prospective stepparents onhow to prepare themselves and thechild for the far-reaching changesthat take place when the family isreintegrated to include a stepparent.Smith points out some of the particular emotional difficulties confrontingstepchildren and stepparents who tryWHEN ARE YOU LEAVING?WHENEVER YOU GO, TAKE ALONG ONE OFTHESE NEW GUIDES!U.

Theauthor shows how often stepparentsare persecuted by society, particularlythe dead parent's relatives, and bythe stepchildren.Professor Smith's discussion of howimpossible the situation of many astepmother becomes when the child'smaternal family is in opposition toher should be emphasized. Everythingshe does may be interpreted disparagingly. If she pays a great deal ofattention to the stepchild, she reallyis not concerned with him and is onlytrying to make other people believethat she is a good mother. If she isat all inattentive, the maternal relatives will attack her and her husbandfor her "rejection" and "mistreatment" of the child. A good marriagemay be ruined in this way.It is the small family group ofWestern society, as Professor Smithpoints out, that makes the step-relationship so difficult.

An overemphasis on the biological factor of bloodrelationship and a relative neglect ofthe importance of making a livingtogether has apparently been largelyresponsible for the problem. That thedifficulties are by no means "naturally" inherent in the step-relationship is highlighted by the author'sobservation that, while according topopular notion there are many wickedstepmothers and comparatively fewcruel stepfathers, actually brutal stepfathers far outnumber cruel stepmothers. Thus the concept of theover- weening importance of the closerbiological "blood" relationship between mother and child has not onlyinfluenced our fairy tales but alsopopular thinking on this subject.Emotional needThe author offers many excellentsuggestions as to how to introduce astepparent into a family. My experience in working with very disturbedchildren, suggests another. We havefound that an emotionally disturbedchild cannot be rehabilitated with thegoal of his eventual return to thefamily unless the stepparent legallyadopts him. The great emphasis onthe biological nature of the humanfamily has led us to overlook thefact that the modern family is by nomeans merely a biological unit butto a very large degree a social andlegal structure as well. A stepchildseems to be dimly aware of this andto feel that unless he is also legallyadopted by the stepparent he is notthe stepparent's child.JOSEPH H.

This raises theinteresting question why we do notwant to give up this particular prejudice. Prejudiced opinions are maintained tenaciously only if they meetdeep emotional needs. Since theprejudice about the cruel stepmotherand the bad step-relationship is sowidespread, one wonders what emotional need it fills.I think we are led astray in ourthinking if we try to approach this9 FLOORS FILLED WITH BOOKS!Chicago's LargestANTIQUARIAN B0 OX STORE(In the heart of the Loop)Everything from 10c books fo raritiesBooks from the 15th CenturyModern, first and limited editions18th & 19th Century English LiteratureLarge stock of pamphlet materialWe buy small and large collections ofgood booksCome in or write usCENTRAL BOOK STORE36 SOUTH CLARK STREETDEARBORN 2-0470Also open evenings and Sundays problem from the obviously statedpremise of the mistreated Cinderella,Snow White or Hansel and Gretel.The endings of these fairy tales, instead, provide the clue for understanding the hidden motions thatmotivate us to maintain our prejudice.In each of these stories the stepchildfinally takes revenge on what at firstappeared as an overpowering mother.StereotypeThe child, that is, turns out to bestronger than the parent, although atfirst he was much weaker. The cruelmistreatment appears to be a somewhat flimsy justification for the violence of the revenge taken on theparent. But human beings are afraidto accept the fact that as childrenthey harbored against their ownparents childish resentment of theparents' power and a wish for cruelrevenge. The hostile feelings therefore are projected onto stepparents.Thus it seems we shall continue toneed the stereotype of the bad step-relation, Professor Smith's excellentefforts notwithstanding, so long as wecannot admit to ourselves that aschildren we often resented our parents' control and had fairy tale fantasies about the revenge we shouldsome day take.Bruno BettelheimPrincipal — Sonia ShankmanOrthogenic SchoolProf essor Departments ofEducation and PsychologyAPRIL, 1954 21GEOGRAPHYThe Department of Geography isfifty years old this year.

Here, prescriptions usually call for ingredientsby the ton. Their huge "mixing bowls" are white-hotelectric arc furnaces, in which temperatures reach over3,500 degrees FahrenheitoThese alloying metals are refined and concentratedforms of both rare and common metals. Among themare chromium, boron, silicon, tungsten, columbium, andVanadium. Individually, or together, they give steel durability, toughness, hardness, rust and corrosion resistance, and other special qualities. Chromium, for example, is the secret of making steel stainless. VARYING COMBINATIONS of these and otheralloys are added to every ton of molten steel producedtoday. Without them we wouldn't have the hundredsof different kinds of steel that do so much for all of usin so many ways.MORE THAN 50 ALLOYS— The people of UnionCarbide pioneered in the development and productionof alloying metals.
