"Everyone in central Illinoisgoes to all home games."Thus was determined October 16.Invitations to 400 alumni from Peoriato Decatur were no sooner out when thereturns began to come in. From Jacksonville: "Why October 16 of all dates?Illinois College is celebrating its 125thanniversary!" and "This is MacMurray'sbig week-end!"From Normal: "Our homecoming!"Bloomington: "Weslyan's annual homecoming!" From Lincoln: homecoming;and Decatur and Peoria: homecomings!Avoiding the University of Illinoishome games was down-state practice,all right, but we were caught in themob avoiding Illini football.Of course, we learned that all down-state doctors are busiest Saturday afternoons. And autumn is the heavy courtseason when lawyers burn mid-nightoffice oil on week-ends.Ten days before the conclave we had14 reservations.We smothered mid- Illinois with newsreleases and pictures; followed up withmailings about golden autumn leaves atNew Salem State Park; and ended withan enthusiastic 90 people, a snappysunny day, a moonlight evening, and themost unique and successful down- statealumni event in generations.Dragstedt, Seattle guestDr. LESTER DRAGSTEDT, Chairmanof the Department of Surgery, was abusiness visitor to Seattle in Octoberand a dinner guest of our Seattle Clubon October 21.

From all overthe world they came, representing many shades of opinion.Could they hope for agreement out of such diversity?Evanston: An ExperimentM,LUCH OF THE FIRST five daysof the Evanston Assembly was devoted to a rather daring experiment.The whole body of delegates, laymenand pastors, housewives and bishops,church administrators, missionariesand theologians divided up into working groups of about fifty, to engage ina kind of theological conference. Theywere asked to wrestle with some ofthe most central and mysterious aspects of the faith, and to come outwith some sort of guidance for thechurches who had sent them there.There are few if any American denominations which would have ventured such an enterprise in a nationalassembly, even within the boundariesof one denominational tradition, onecultural and political setting, and onelanguage. They would have beenafraid of stirring up sharp controversywhich might endanger their institutional expansion.But where angels and denominations fear to tread, there went theWorld Council. The Assembly undertook to cope with the matter in threelanguages, in eight or ten major ecclesiastical traditions, and out of thecultural contexts of the whole inhabited world. There had been numerouswarnings beforehand that the WorldCouncil was being foolhardy, thatsuch discussion would only developLeft: Detail from Master of the BigalloCrucifix, 13th Century, Tempera on Panel.Courtesy of the Art Institute of Chicago,the A.

Organized six years agoat Amsterdam, the World Councilis composed of some hundred andsixty churches, including virtuallyall major bodies except SouthernBaptist, the Roman CatholicChurch and the Russian OrthodoxChurch.Through such activities as workfor refugees, study and action inpolitical, social, and racial matters,theological discussion and inquiry,and evangelization, the Council isanimated by a dual purpose — tomanifest the unity of the Church,and to accomplish more effectivelythe Church's task in the world.A portion of the Assembly's timewas devoted to the theological discussion described in the accompanying article, which is a chapterfrom the book, Evanston: An Interpretation, to be published byHarper & Bros, in December.James Nichols is an associateprofessor of the History of Christianity in the Federated TheologicalFaculty.

When the CentralCommittee persisted in this design,consequently, they could not be accused of lack of courage. Whateverelse one may say about it, the WorldCouncil does not fit the Americanstereotype of a church body as aneminently "safe" institution.Now to be sure, the Central Committee did not at first realize thedimensions of the beast they hadseized by the tail. Four years earlierthey had determined on a theme forthe Assembly. The world seemed tobe in a crisis of hope; on the one hand,turbulent with passionately soughtUtopian dreams, on the other, hopeless, desperate, lost in meaningless -ness. The Christian gospel might bestbe put forward in such a world in itsaspect of good news, of comfort, joyand assurance. Let Evanston explorethe theme of Jesus Christ as the hopeof the Church and the world.The Central Committee had appointed an "advisory commission" ofsome thirty theologians from manychurches, from about a dozen countries and as many theological traditions, to develop the implications ofthe theme and to stimulate thoughtabout it in the years before the Assembly itself. The Commission included several of the greatest Christian thinkers, men such as Karl Barthof Basil, Switzerland, the best-knownProtestant theologian in the world,DECEMBER, 1954 5and Reinhold Niebuhr of Union Theological Seminary, New York.The first meeting was marked bysharp clashes, occasioned both bymisunderstandings and by unresolveddifferences of belief. There was veryreal doubt as to whether it wouldever be possible for such a group todraft a common statement. Theycould at first do little more than locatefor the churches the points of theirsharpest disagreements. But theseearly reports provoked a world-wideliterature and discussion of unprecedented dimensions.Three years of study and meeting,however, brought extensive changesin the mind of the Advisory Commission in the way of mutual confidence,reinterpretation, broadened views.With something like a sense of miracle among them, they produced in1954 a substantial common statementfor the Assembly, the fifty -page Report on "Christ — the Hope of theWorld."Their difficult struggle had convinced them that this theme was notmerely a profitable one, but a necessary one, a matter of life and deathfor the Christian church in its witnessto the world. And most of the leadership of the World Council had becomeconvinced with them.But what of the Assembly? Herewere men and women who were notBarths or Niebuhrs to begin with, andwho had not generally had the benefitof any such three years' preparation.What would they make of thatclosely-knit and sometimes technicallytheological Report, (which not all ofthem had read before arriving) ?The Assembly did not fulfill thepredictions of an explosion. The delegates rather walked gingerly aboutthe Report, respectful but not universally convinced. A minority wereenthusiastic. Another minority werehostile and ready to reject it. Butmost had difficulty in coming to termswith the Report. They found it oftenstimulating, formidable in its totality,but were not sure enough of its fullimplications to say either "Yes" or"No." And so the discussion oftenconsisted of niggling over a sentencehere, a paragraph there, or grumblingthat the statement was too heavy andtechnical. As the real issues graduallyfiltered out, it became apparent thatin large measure the Assembly wasrecapitulating the history of the Advisory Commission.But the Assembly did not have timeto balance and relate differing emphases and perspectives as the Commission had done, or to evaluate howsuccessfully the Commission had done it. The inner division among thechurches on the meaning of faith andhope in Christ could be sensed in thediscussion, but was rarely fullyexplicit. The resolution of these differences, consequently, remained inconclusive, and the Assembly recommended study of the Report in thechurches without itself adopting it.What were these inner divisions?The most important one was the division between the "humanistic" andBiblical ways of hoping.Humanism — a rivalHumanism was discussed in theReport as one of the rival hopes toChristianity. Humanism was theredefined as the opinion that man ismaster of his own destiny and canachieve a perfect society, that menshould rely wholly on their ownpowers to realize the good life forthemselves and their communities,and that their hopes need not reachbeyond the improvement of theirearthly existence.There are variations of this humanism. Sometimes there is the particular confidence that man can solvehis social and personal needs and conflicts by science and education. Sometimes humanism appears as communism, but (pace Senator McCarthy)such an infinitesimal number ofAmericans find this a significant option that we will not take time todiscuss this part of the Report. Sometimes there is a faith in democracy,which for millions "remains the onesure hope for the cure of man's ills."The hope of humanism usually appears as some form of the idea ofprogress. In whatever variation theyare held, however, "these beliefs areillusions. In holding them, democratichumanism, even when still professedlyChristian, has become largely a Christian heresy," the Report stated.It is simply not true, the Reportwent on, that man is master of hisdestiny by science or otherwise, northat a perfect or near perfect societycan be brought by his efforts in history, nor that man's fulfillment wouldbe achieyed if it were."As recent events should remind usagain, there is no sign that earthlyhistory is being progressively purgedof evil and steadily nearing perfection . . . And death, 'the last enemy,'armed at this moment with terriblenew weapons, waiting inexorably atevery moment, stands across the pathof every human person and people,"observed Dr. Robert Calhoun of. Yale.A hope that can^give meaning in thefaces of such realities cannot suppose "that the Kingdom will be fully realized within earthly history," he concluded.The predicament of possible globalatomic war is itself a commentary onthe pretensions of human power andvirtue."But we must not make too muchof this part of the modern refutationof secular pretensions," ReinholdNiebuhr warned the Assembly. "Ifwe do, we will falsify the Gospel andmake the Christian cause to appearto be a contest between the Godfearing believers and the unrighteousunbeliever ... It is not only those whodeny God but those who profess Himbut claim Him too simply as an allyof their purposes and as an aid totheir ambitions, who bring evil intothe world."There is danger, Dr. Calhounagreed, that we may think of hopein Christ "primarily as assurance thatour best efforts will succeed, withGod's help."The Christian's hope is indeed amotive for action for social betterment. But Christian confidence doesnot lie in the security that our effortswill be crowned with success."It is not possible for us to knowexactly how God will use our work,or what degree of visible success Hewill grant us in any particular object. The Christian is no more sureof success than his secular neighbor.But he is secure against despair," theReport stated.We must constantly remind ourselves that God's ways are not ourways nor His thoughts our thoughts.We mortal men must decide and evenfight for our causes in history, butwe should do so as Lincoln fought forslavery, with a sense of the overarching Providence which answersthe prayers of neither side just asthey intended.Dr. Edmund Schlink of Heidelberg,Germany, put the matter anotherway: "We have no right to speak ofChrist as the hope of the world unlesswe humble ourselves before God andrecognize Him as the judge of theworld . . . Today we are afraid of menwho may misuse the power entrustedto them and unleash horrible destruction upon the world, but the decisivequestion is not how we can manageto avoid wars and disaster . . . Ourreal threat does not come from men,'powers' or the forces of nature, butfrom God whose judgment no mancan escape."Hope in Christ is not to be hadwithout Judgment by Christ.6 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEAssociated PressWORLD COUNCIL DELEGATES VOTE AT SESSION IN McGAW HALL ON NORTHWESTERN CAMPUS"Only when we have repented andconfessed that we have wasted ourlife in God's sight shall we everknow Christ as the Hope of theworld," the Report stated. So strongwas this emphasis in the AdvisoryCommission, indeed, that they hadurged unsuccessfully another formulation of the theme which wouldstress it, "The Crucified Lord, theHope of the World."It means that our greatest fear anddanger does not lie in the cobaltbomb, but in betrayal of Christ andseparation from Him."I am not afraid of the atomicbomb," said Dr. Charles Malik ofLebanon, "I am afraid of the Judgment."But if those tempted by false hopesmust be reminded of the Judgment,what of the hopeless? Is there balmin Gilead? The Report addresseditself also to these."For all those who . . . are withouthope in the world, our only messageof hope is that there is One whounderstands them better than theyunderstand themselves . . . He passedthrough the darkest night of the human soul, through utter lonelinessand dereliction, before rising victorious over death and hell . . . Wediscern in their midst the presence-ofour exalted Lord, who in his earthlyministry moved among outcasts, refugees, political agitators and zealots,sophisticated intellectuals, simple workmen and soldiers, all of themwith their thwarted hopes and unfulfilled aspirations ... As the exaltedLord He bids His church, as today itconfronts on every side men whosehopes are mocked or starved orfastened upon false gods, to walk theroad He trod, for only as it goes theway of the Cross can the Church offerin word and deed a sure and steadfast hope."It was from among those who hadfaced the extinction of all earthlyhope under persecution by the Nazisand Communists that there came thestrongest emphasis on the hope inChrist's Coming Again, the futureconsummation denied in history.In this situation, they had discovered, the long disregarded apocalyptic passages in the New Testamenttake on actuality. "Then they suddenly illuminate the whole of humanlife and the situation of Christians inthe world and become a definitestronghold, by means of which Godmakes it possible for men to live, tosuffer and to die joyfully."This was the experience we Germans had with those texts during thepersecution of the Church in theThird Reich," Dr. Schlink told theAdvisory Commission. "And this isthe experience of countless Christianstoday who are oppressed, persecuted,imprisoned, tortured and killed. Theyhave not the possibility of engagingin political and social programmes and action. The only way still open tothem is the way of prayer, of witness,and of suffering. They have no longerany earthly hope which sustainsthem. They live solely in the hope ofthe Coming Lord . . . The expectancyof the Lord releases the strongestpossible zeal because it liberates manfrom worrying about himself."This experience of the churches"under the Cross" was chiefly theexperience of those who spoke Frenchor German. The English speaking delegates generally had not faced suchradical trials. This unfortunate coincidence of the language barrier withthe contrast in Christian experiencedelayed understanding in the Assembly.The bulk of Orthodox, Anglicans,and American Protestants simply didnot live in this kind of hope in Christthe consummator. Some could penetrate it to some degree imaginatively,but it played no such central role intheir lives and thought as it did formany on the Continent. Approachingthe subject somewhat externally, consequently, many sought to analyzeintellectually Biblical symbolismwhich the Continentals somehowgrasped in its totality as conveyingtremendous realities.What, for example, is meant byChrist's Coming Again, the newheavens and the new earth?"We American Protestants," saidDr. Calhoun, "have often lost touchDECEMBER, 1954 7with the faith of the church throughthe centuries, that 'in the age to come'there will be a new corporate lifein a new environment, in the fulllight of the presence of God."To many newspapermen it was asurprise to discover that the theologians, Continental and otherwise, nomore thought of heaven and hell asplaces than they did, in fact less so.Heaven is communion with God. Hellis alienation from Him.But what then is time, one mayask. When is "the age to come?"One can understand that in a sensethe End is Now, that the ComingKing meets men today and every day,that the dimension of the last thingsis to be seen in all present and passing things. But will all be consummated at once, at some "time?" Willthis involve only human or earthlyhistory, or the solar system, or ourgalaxy? Heavy-handed questions, nodoubt, but Christian laymen in anindustrialized society, with mindsshaped by modern physics, deservea word of guidance here from thetheologians. If faith and hope arereally powerful, can they not shapenew metaphors eloquent to our age?At least some dimensions of thisconsummation were delineated. "Acorporate life in a new environment". . . "a new heaven and a new earth"implies a hope for the whole man inall his social relations and historicalcommunities. It is the "resurrectionof the body," not the pagan notion ofthe survival and immortality of anindestructible "soul." It is the resurrection and transfiguration of thewhole of history, the earliest generations with the last.And the content of our hope isclear from our present experiences."What we possess in Christ is themost glorious life of which we knowanything, for it is fellowship withHim who is our Savior and our Lord.And yet this fellowship in the Spiritis but the foretaste, the earnest, ofthe inheritance laid up for us. Christis not only our righteousness and ourpeace; He is also present in us asthe hope of glory," the Report stated."Christ our hope thus embodies inHimself the destiny of individuals, ofthe Church, of earthly communities,and of all creation ... In the resurrection they will be manifested, each andall, in a new mode of being. Theywill know God, for they will see Him.In the fellowship of those who aremade perfect they will know and loveone another. All of them, even thosewho died immature or undeveloped,the despised, the failures, the defeatedwill in the communion of the saints, draw upon the inexhaustible treasuryof life which is God's gift to them allin Christ . . . Their worship will haveno more need of a temple, for theirLord and Savior will Himself be atemple for them, as His glory will betheir light . . . Their highest blessedness will be that God is God; and Hewill be all in all."What if the Assembly's discussionsof the "main theme" were inconclusive? It would scarcely have beenworth so much time and effort in anarea where there was already a visible consensus. The theme was onlyjustified because in the churches therewas so much confusion and uncertainty on this subject.And if this really was so, how muchcould one expect of three or four daysof discussion? Scarcely a lucid andunanimous proclamation with trumpets. Minds and hearts are notchanged that fast. Some had beenthinking about their hope for months,y but one might guess that the majority11 of delegates really looked hard ande critically at this dimension of theirtr faith for the first time in Evanston.a In three or four days some intellec-ie tual perspectives might have beenI- changed, some sensitivities quickened.'.e But hope itself, as an orientation ofthe whole man, absorbing the imagi-ts nation and the emotions as well ast- the mind, hope itself could not inn many cases bloom overnight in all itsn glory. A growth might have been:- started, on the other hand, whichy would after weeks and months mani-•e fest the meaning of what happenedat Evanston.And how fully should we expect toh know how Christ will shape our furs ture? We know not what we shallid be but we know we shall be likei- Him and with Him. For the strength)t of our hope is the faithfulness ofn God, who raised from the dead ours, Lord Jesus Christ.GEORGES ROUAULT: THE PASSIONCourtesy of Mr. and Mrs. Leigh B. BlockGEORGES ROUAULT: THE PASSIONCourtesy of Mr. and Mrs. Leigh B. Block8 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINETwo Views On Recognition Of Red ChinaBRITAIN:UNEASY ALLYBy Leon EpsteinfTHEN CLEMENT ATTLEE andhis Labour Party colleagues visitedCommunist China last summer, theresponse of the American press, presumably reflecting American publicopinion, was almost unanimous incondemning the visit. More temperedcritics reasoned that at the very leastit was untimely, and vociferous opponents of the junket declared that itwas an international disaster.But a review of British attitudesconcerning China policy reveals howdifferently Attlee's own nation wasprepared to observe his visit withMao Tse-tung. Not only the Labourparty, but the bulk of the Britishcommunity has long held essentiallysofter views of Communist Chinathan have most of us in the UnitedStates. Attlee's China tour was meantto please, not offend, his fellow-Englishmen.To be sure, it was meant especiallyto please and even conciliate Attlee'sown political party. Labour leaders tothe left of Attlee were evidently going to Communist China anyway.Rather than have them, and particularly his rival Aneurin Bevan, securethe publicity of an undoubtedly popular mission, it was useful for Attleeto put himself at the head of the delegation.It would be a mistake, however, toassume that the Attlee visit to Chinawas intended only for so limited anintra-party purpose. More generally,the visit symbolized the long-standing public desire openly to distinguish British policy toward China from thatof the United States — and yet to doso in a way and at a time whichwould avoid any major rupture inAnglo-American relations. For so delicate a task Attlee's credentials weresatisfactory. As an ex-Prime Minister, he had prestige but no officialThis article has been adapted byDr. Epstein for the MAGAZINE,from his book, Britain: UneasyAlly, published this fall by theUniversity Press.Dr. Epstein's book is the thirdstudy sponsored by the Center forthe Study of American ForeignPolicy, directed by Hans J. Morgenthau, Professor, PoliticalScience. The center was establishedin 1950 under a grant from theLilly Endowment and is now supported by a grant from the Carnegie Corporation. Its generalpurpose is to contribute to a betterunderstanding of the principles,objectives, and probable results ofAmerican foreign policy and contemporary problems of UnitedStates foreign policy.Previous publications sponsoredby the Center are Ideals and Self-interest in America's Foreign Relations, by Robert Osgood, andBenjamin Franklin and AmericanForeign Policy, by Gerald Stourzh.Dr. Epstein is Professor of Political Science at the University ofWisconsin. He took his PhD inthe political science department atthe University in 1948. governmental responsibility. And asthe most important Labour Partychampion of the British policy ofworking with the United States, Attlee could not be dismissed as simplyanother left-wing anti- American.The fact that it was Attlee whoheaded the Labour delegation thusillustrates the dimensions of Britishtolerance of Communist China. Notonly did Attlee represent the moderate and dominant section of theLabour Party, but as that party'sleader and prospective leader in thenext election campaign he wouldhardly risk alienating the marginaland independent voters so importantto Labour's future success at thepolls. It must be assumed that Attleecalculated, and calculated correctly,that his trip to China would meetwith the approval of the electorate.Unlike many other foreign policyissues, the British disagreement withAmerica's China policy has not primarily been a left-wing affair. Nodoubt, the Bevanites of the LabourLeft have been more vociferous incriticizing the United States on thisissue, as on others, and apparentlythese extremists were almost alonein being willing to risk an openbreak with America over China policy. But the nation generally hasseemed at odds with anything thatlooked like a tough American linetoward Communist China.This attitude is hardly new. It maybe observed, and partially explained,by surveying British responses toDECEMBER, 1954 9American Far Eastern policy throughout the postwar period of the Truman Administration. From 1945 to1952 — the years with which thisstudy is concerned — British viewsconcerning Asia were rather steadilydivergent from ours. Ideological orientations of British political groups,so important in influencing attitudestoward other American policies, hereseemed of comparatively little import. On Asian and particularly Chinese matters, the approaches of thevarious British political groups rangedonly from the acutely hostile to thecautiously critical.Almost never was the Truman Administration's China policy defendedby an Englishman on the basis ofintrinsic merit. Insofar as the American line was defended at all in Britain, it was only on the ground thatno better policy could be expectedgiven the state of opinion in theUnited States and especially in Congress. In trying to account for the virtualunanimity of British dislike forAmerican policy in the Far East, itis easy enough to say that Britishinterests did not coincide with America's in that part of the world. Buthow these interests, or their evaluation, differed from those of the UnitedStates presents a problem that is not sosimple. The generalization that Britain, because of losing its consciousness of Great Power status and responsibility, was no longer concernedabout the Far East is highly dubious.The most that might reasonably beargued along that line is that theBritish felt less responsible thanAmerica for the consequences ofCommunist aggrandizement outsidethe sphere of Britain's customary influence. Corollary to this, it might besaid that the British were moreanxious to avoid a major war in Chinabecause they had relatively little political concern for that country. TheirWhite in the Akron Beacon-Journal interest in China, while economicallyappreciable, did not match Britishinterest in Malaya or India, forexample.British vigilance in dealing withMalayan Communists serves to illustrate that the nation could be significantly concerned about an Asianproblem. However, India is a muchlarger and more telling example ofBritain's continued interest in Asia.India's place in the British consciousness has more than rivalled the prominence of China in the Americanmind. For Britain, India has been theAsian problem for generations. Theresponsibility once assumed by Englishmen as the imperial rulers of India has been transformed into thesense of partnership which goes withmembership in the Commonwealth.Nowadays the British remain awareof Indian problems and sensibilitiesbecause they wish to preserve theCommonwealth tie.China has been a different matter.Despite extensive trading interestsand the crown colony of Hong Kong,the British have not had so markeda political and emotional involvementin Chinese affairs as have Americans.Or at least British involvement inChina has not bulked large comparedto the national involvement elsewhere. Some but surely not all theexplanation may lie in the fact thatBritain, unlike the United States,does not have the sense of geographical proximity which comes withfacing China across an ocean.More particularly, the British postwar attitude toward China was different from the American in that nogreat expectations about the Nationalist regime's status as a great powerhad been entertained during WorldWar II. Treating China as one of theBig Five, both in the peace settlement and in arrangements for theUnited Nations Security Council, wasregarded as a peculiarly American,or Rooseveltian, fancy. Britain didnot think of Chiang Kai-shek as animportant wartime ally (at least notof Britain), and the preservation ofhis regime was of no intimate significance to Englishmen.Certainly no British governmentwas going to be charged with success or failure on the basis of theoutcome of the Chinese civil war.The conflict between the Communistsand the Nationalists was, of course,reported in the British press, but itattracted little discussion and no controversy of a political character. Tosome extent, the Chinese civil warwas treated in Britain as a strugglebetween Russian and American in-The Red CarpetBRITISHV/~N LABOR^~>^ DELEGATION10 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEAssociated PressON RECENT TRIP TO RED CHINA BRITISH LABOUR LEADER CLEMENT ATTLEE DRINKS A TOAST WITH CHOU EN-LAIterests in the Far East, and thus assomething which did not directlyconcern the British themselves.Even the very small fraction ofBritish opinion that was aware of thedangers of Communist victory in thecivil war found no satisfaction withAmerican policy at the time. Partlythis was because of a lack of confidence in Chiang Kai-shek and awidespread British belief that theUnited States was backing a loser.As the civil war drew to a close,there was at least a general pleasurethat Britain had not become identifiedwith the losing side and accordinglya hope that Britain could establishrelations with the victorious Communists.Already, in mid-1949, recognitionof the Communist regime was widelyanticipated. Although the actual decision to recognize was the responsibility of the Labour Government, itwas frequently advised in otherquarters in the name of facing "realities." Asian nationalism was considered one of those realities, and theprotection of British trading interests another. Establishment of diplomatic relations, it was stressed, didnot mean approval of communism,Chinese or any other style. Backing Chiang on Formosa was regarded asunwise because it was said to "cement Communist China and SovietRussia."Recognition of Communist Chinawas generally approved when theBritish government announced itearly in 1950. Virtually no protestwas made against dealing with theCommunists because they were Communists. The only significant objections openly raised, in this period,related to the timing of the recognition. Foreign Minister Bevin wascriticized for moving so soon, especially before full Commonwealthconsultation and without the participation of the United States.The last point is important. In thefirst six months of 1950 (that is, before the Korean War began), theBritish seemed to assume that America was not really settled in a refusalto establish diplomatic relations withCommunist China. Foreign SecretaryBevin, for example, evidently believed that the United States wouldnot veto the admission of Communist China to the United Nations. Inother ways, he hinted, in effect, thatthe gap between British and American policies would narrow. This reflected the British estimate that the Truman Administration was onlytemporarily inhibited from facing the"realities" by the then current Republican attacks on the State Department.Before the assumption as to eventual American policy toward Chinacould be tested over an ordinarycourse of time, the Korean war intervened. For the moment, existing disagreements about China did notforcibly intrude, and there was avirtually unanimous British praisefor the immediate American actionagainst the North Korean aggression.However, given the firm convictionthat Mao's regime was a fait accompli,the action in Korea was never viewedas the beginning of a campaign againstcommunism in Asia. Britain's interestin Korea was largely indirect, and theoriginal enthusiasm was a reaction toAmerican implementation of the general principle of a United Nationsstand against military aggression.Willingness to take action in Koreaserved notice of the serious intentionto do the same elsewhere, notably inEurope. This was the keynote ofPrime Minister Attlee's announcementof the American military moves:". . . the salvation of all is depend-DECEMBER, 1954 11ent on prompt and effective measuresto arrest aggression wherever it mayoccur."Yet there was in the summer of1950 a manifest uneasiness aboutbroader American Far Eastern policies in relation to the Korean war.The Labour Left was not alone inbeing disturbed about the Americancommitment concerning Formosa. InAugust, 1950, the liberal ManchesterGuardian Weekly said: "The westernworld is horrified at the thought thatby the Presidential declaration aboutFormosa the United States may havelaid herself open to possible war withCommunist China, the very thing theRussians most want to provoke." Itwas not argued that the United Statesshould have neglected to neutralizeFormosa but only that it should havebeen done without appearing tochampion Chinese Nationalists as opposed to Chinese Communists.Ambiguous AttitudeIt was not the mere desire to avoidan enlarged Asian conflict that meaningfully set off British opinion fromthat of most Americans. What wasrelevant was that Britain was prepared to believe that further involvement would be attributable tomistaken American policies.There was a virtually unanimousfeeling even in mid -1950 that theUnited States had already alarmedthe Chinese Communists by its non-recognition, by its continued attachment to Chiang, by its ambiguousattitude about Formosa, and by Mac-Arthur's apparent intentions. Theonly point in British dispute waswhether America's China policy resulted from honest error or deliberatemalice. Americans, it will be remembered, were also divided on Chinaissues in the summer of 1950, buthardly along the same lines.In view of the British state of mind,it is not surprising that the massiveChinese intervention of November,1950, was viewed very differently thanit was in the United States. It wouldbe too much to say that Englishmen,or a large portion of them, excusedthe Communist aggression by thetheory that America provoked it.Ideas, except on the extreme left,were not so clear cut as that. Themore typical moderate reaction wasthat of the London Economist. It didnot want to pardon "the clear aggression of the Chinese Communists," butit asked whether the American-ledcampaign in Korea had really kept inview its limited United Nations purpose or whether it had been trans formed into a program of winning acomplete Far Eastern victory.Much of the British criticism wasdirected at General MacArthur, whoin the previous summer had madehimself unpopular by visiting Formosa. The strongest attacks attributed war-mongering malice to theGeneral, and the mildest commentsmerely military mistakes. EvenChurchill put himself on record ashaving hoped that MacArthur's troopswould be stopped well short of theYalu River.In the winter months of 1950-51,immediately following the Chineseintervention, the British remaineddeeply troubled by their impressionthat American policy might willfullyor mistakenly cause a general war.Popularly the United States came tobe presented as an aggressive power,relative to Britain at any rate. InUnited Nations discussions, for instance, Americans were almost invariably observed to be demandingstrong retaliatory measures againstChina, in contrast to the pacifyingrole assumed by British diplomats.Undoubtedly there was genuine fearof what the United States was goingto do. This fear was magnified bythe first interpretation of PresidentTruman's famous press conferencestatement that the use of the atombomb in Korea was under active consideration. Prime Minister Attlee'ssubsequent trip to Washingtonseemed, to the British, to be necessary as a means of communicatingthe island's horror of precipitatinglarge-scale war.Continued SuspicionNever during the following yearsof the Korean War was there quitethe same degree of urgent alarm concerning American policy, but theBritish nevertheless continued to besuspicious. The barest hint of strongAmerican measures against China revived the fears previously aroused.On the other hand, fears were occasionally alleviated by the apparentAmerican acceptance of a stalematein the Korean conflict.Thus, British spirits rose with theremoval of General MacArthur, withthe persistence of the Truman- Ache -son-Bradley policy that emerged fromthe MacArthur hearings, and with thewillingness to negotiate almost endlessly at the Korean battle line. Thesepacific signs contrasted, in the Britishmind, with the closer American identification with the Nationalist regimeon Formosa arid with relatively warlike speeches by Americans. What is striking is that throughoutthe long period of Chinese militaryaction against the United Nations inKorea and throughout the torturedconduct of peace negotiations by theCommunists, British opinion remainedconsistently devoted to the view thatstrong American measures would bemistaken. British politicians, especially the leaders of the ConservativeGovernment, had to make it clearthat they were as much against warwith China as the rest of the community. Thus Churchill reiterated hisview that "the United Nations shouldavoid by every means in their powerbecoming entangled inextricably in awar with China."Persistent OptimismThe continued British aversion tostrong measures against CommunistChina was bolstered, though lessprominently during military hostilities, by the original expectancy thatMao Tse-tung's regime was actuallyor potentially an independent powercapable of amicable relations with theWest. It was this belief which wasat the basis of the British recognitionof Communist China in the first place,and of the British desire, from timeto time, to give Communist Chinaa seat in the United Nations. Furthermore, such friendly acts, it wassometimes argued, would in themselves make more likely a Chineseindependence of Russia.In addition to this kind of optimism,there was another variety yet morewishful in its thinking. A leftistminority adhered to the view that theChinese Communists were no morethan rather extreme revolutionarysocialists who, if dealt with fairly bythe West and especially by America,would be no danger at all.So heavily ideological a faith couldnot, after the years of Chinese Communist aggression, appeal to the bulkof the British public. But the vaguerhope for getting along with Communist China remained almost universalin Britain. That hope was sharplyrevived once the fighting in Korea(and in Indo-China) was stopped.If the Chinese Communists refrainfrom further military aggression inAsia, British pressure for admissionof the Mao Tse-tung regime to theUnited Nations is certain to mount.All that now appears to be restraining British policy from officially taking that position is the understandable desire to avoid a sharp breakwith the United States.12 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINETESTINGTHE BRAINBy Ward C. HalsteadProfessor, Psychology and PsychiatryH<.OW DOES A BRAIN learn? Howdoes injury to the brain affect theindividual? How do certain diseasesaffect the brain?These and other questions lie behind the specialized brain researchbeing carried on at university laboratories in various parts of the world.For centuries, functions of the brainhave proved a fascinating and, attimes, baffling subject to doctors andscientists. The measurement of braininjuries has posed particularly difficultproblems, since damage to the brainmay be invisible externally or toodelicate to be measured by instruments like the brain-wave recorder.The frenzied pace of modern livingpresents many hazards to the brain.Thousands of persons yearly sustainhead injuries in automobile and industrial accidents.The human brain weighs aboutthree pounds and is not firmly anchored in the skull. After a sharpblow it literally bounces back andforth in its case, up against the bonysphenoidal ridge.Moreover, certain diseases, like un-dulant fever, high blood pressure andhyper-thyroidism can inflict damageto the brain. Chronic undernourishment can leave the brain permanentlyaffected.At Billings Hosptal for the pasttwenty years we have been engagedin the study of effects of injury to thebrain. In the course of our work wehave developed some 27 tests whichhave proven to be quite sensitive indetecting even a moderate degree ofbrain damage. Our work has concerned itself primarily with the study of activitiesassociated with man's frontal lobes.They are the seat of man's highestintelligence, co-ordination and self-control (unlike brains of lower forms,like mice or monkeys, which are lessspecialized in function). Injury to thefrontal lobes, we have found, mayresult in lack of initiative, disturbances in attention span, impairmentin thinking and disruption of emotions.In the course of our work we havetested some 3,000 people, includingnormal and brain-injured individuals.We hope eventually to test 10,000.with approximately 1,000 in each often decades of human life span.Our work has been made easier, ofcourse, with the growth in the skillsof neurosurgery, so that we have hadan increasing number of patients withProfessor Ward C. Halstead ishead of the Medical PsychologySection of the Department of Medicine and Chairman of the Bio-psychology Section of the Psychology Department.He came to the University in1935 as a National Research Council Fellow following his doctoralwork in psychology and neurologyat Northwestern. At that time heset up the first experimental psychology laboratory for work directly with brain-injured patients.He is the author of the well-known monograph Brain and Intelligence. known brain parts removed. In exchange, we have been able to provide neurosurgeons with informationneeded in their work.For example, a man came to usrecently who did not respond whenspoken to, but showed clearly thathe understood a written message.Tests proved he was not deaf. If youstopped there, you might think he wassuffering from a form of dementia.Our tests showed he was actuallysuffering from a brain injury, andhad lost the ability to absorb spokeninformation.Historically, questions concerningintelligence and brain functions havearisen almost equally from the general fields of education and medicine.Since the beginning of the presentcentury professional psychologists,working within the framework ofeducation, have grappled with theseproblems. The well-known I.Q. testsand the placement or achievementtests are among their most notableproducts. The names of Binet, Spearman, Terman, Thurstone and Hol-zinger are intimately associated withthis endeavor. Only more recentlyhave professional psychologists foundopportunity to pursue these problemswithin the framework of medicine.The mounting problem of mentalillness; the technical advances inneurosurgery which have given riseto many specialized problems in therehabilitation of brain- operated patients; and the growing recognitionof medicine's need to understand themental capacities and incapacities ofits patients have all combined to openDECEMBER, 1954 13CATEGORY TEST — This test(right) helps measure one of thebasic operations in thinking — theability to grasp and recognizesimple principles presented innon-verbal terms.

Someretarded reading cases may be deficient in this capacity. Dr. Halstead feels he may be on the trackof an additional factor in his biological intelligence concept.up new opportunities for the medically oriented psychologist. Todaythe medical psychologist works in thefield of medicine much as his colleague works in the field of education.Many of you will recall such namesas Henry Donaldson, John Watson,Charles Herriek, George Coghill, andKarl Lashley. Each of these menworked at the University. Theyshared a scientific interest in the relationships between brain and behavior,and made significant contributionsfrom this campus to our knowledge. For instance, Professor Lashley'stwo laws of organization of the cerebral • cortex of the brain were firstenunciated in a monograph publishedby the University of Chicago Press,well in advance of his departure in1935 for Harvard. Working in thecramped laboratory quarters of oldCulver Hall, Professor Lashley, withhis highly educated rats, laid the experimental foundations for the proposition that certain classes of habits aredisturbed in direct proportion to themass of cerebral cortex destroyed(experimentally). He further noted that within a functional region of thebrain, the cells are equi-potential (thesame degree of behavior deficit wasproduced by a lesion of a given sizeregardless of its location within thefunctional region).According to Dr. Lashley, higherbrain functions depended upon organized masses of brain cells and theirprocesses, rather than upon a mosaicor "telephone switchboard" whereideas were "plugged-in" on built-incircuits.Many of you will recall the heatedcontroversy generated by the publica-14 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEtion in 1929 of Dr. Lashley's Monograph, Brain Mechanisms and Intelligence, in which he stated theseviews.His views gained considerable support from the discovery soon afterthat the intelligence quotient or I.Q.may not be disturbed a single pointfollowing surgical removal of bothpre-frontal lobes in man; i.e., approximately one-third of his brain.This finding was described independently by myself and by Professor Donald Hebb of McGill University.The outcome produced more confusion than light. The educational psychologists had come to have highconfidence in the I.Q. test as an expression of the general adaptive capacity of the child through his schoolyears — the assumption being that ifhe could score high on the test hecould perform well in many areas.Medical psychologists, such as myself, having noted that many psychoticindividuals were profoundly disturbedin their general adaptive capacity —they suffered loss of the ability togeneralize, to learn principles, to exhibit responsibility for themselves — ¦but in many instances had superiorI.Q.'s, were inclined to question theintelligence test as a valid measure ofintelligence.The position of the medical psy chologist was strengthened by the observation that individuals in whom ithad become necessary to remove evenone frontal lobe often tended to beseriously handicapped in their intellectual and general social adaptations.The paradox could be stated asfollows: Either the intelligence testis a good measure of adaptive capacity of the individual and thefrontal lobes have nothing to do withthis capacity or the frontal lobes haveimportant relationships to generaladaptability that are not reflected inintelligence test scores.I chose in my investigative workto back the second alternative. Otherlaboratories, notably at McGill andColumbia, have pursued the first alternative. From these diverse linesof inquiry have resulted researchfindings which may be of considerableimportance to both education andmedicine.In 1935, encouraged by DoctorsPercival Bailey, Lashley, Herriek andothers, I set up a medical laboratoryin the University Clinics to studyhigher brain functions in man fromthe point of view of experimentalpsychology. Unstinting help and cooperation was forthcoming from everysector of the clinical departments andfrom other areas of the University.Shortly after I began my work in this field, it became apparent thatexisting intelligence tests were unsatisfactory for testing brain-damagedindividuals. While the intelligencetests proved effective as tools for theeducational psychologists, they provedinadequate for my work, particularlywhen one of the leading tests wasfound insensitive to the absence ofone-third of the brain.Intelligence tests tend to emphasizethe rational part of the brain. Manypsychologists feel such tests shouldbe based on formal rules of logic,arithmetic and deductive reasoning.On the other hand, there are projective tests, like the Rorschach, formeasuring emotional states. I wantedtests which would make sense notonly in terms of purely rational operations, but would include significantinformation concerning emotionaloperations. Consequently, I began todevelop a series of my own.A 12-year old child with an I.Q. of100 can pass the 27 tests successfully;a college graduate with even mildneurosurgical lesions of the frontallobes cannot. In administering ourtests, I have no personal contact withthe patient whatsoever, to maintainas objective a check as possible.In the course of my research, Iintroduced the term biological intelligence, a concept embodying four fac-TACTUAL PERFORMANCE TEST — Blindfolded, the subject tries to place variously shaped blocks intotheir appropriate recesses on board, first with right, then with left hand, and a third try with both.

Whilethese factors were isolated by techniques of experimental psychology,several independent confirmations oftheir existence and individuality havebeen forthcoming from factor analyses. (Factor analysis is a mathematical technique for summarizing therange of variability of a battery oftests.)The A, or abstraction factor, is abasic scanning ability, whereby thevarious classes of information arriving at the brain via sense organs areexamined for their significant features.It enables the brain to grasp principles in a train of events, and tomake either short or long range adaptation in response.The P, or power factor, representsthe variable energy control in biological intelligence. Patients vary notonly in the amount of power theyhave but in sustaining it. The amountof power they generate from the brainwaxes and wanes at different times inthe daily cycle. Most individualshave one or two good periods in thedaily cycle during which power inthe sense of available energy is optimal for high level scanning. Take the case of a factory supervisor, whowas referred to us because he hadbecome slow-witted and forgetful onthe job and was suffering from hypothyroidism.After treatment in the metabolicdepartment of the university clinics,both his performance at work and onour tests improved, as well as hisdisposition. His original score hadshown him to be low on the "powerfactor."Power is also reduced by such influences on the brain as anesthetics,alcohol, fatigue and anxiety.The C or memory factor registersthe outcome, in varying degrees offidelity, of the scanning operation asit has been carried towards completeness of understanding. Without thisfactor, the brain would, in effect, be"born" every morning.The D, or modality factor, is thedirectional factor or avenue throughwhich information is received by thebrain and through which organizedbehavior patterns are expressed tothe outside. These are the primaryinput and output pathways; brainlesions can alter either selectively asin the case of the individual, who, following a paralytic stroke, may be unable to express his intelligencethrough words but can comprehendwritten and spoken material.Our evidence indicates that each ofthe above four factors is a necessarycomponent of biological intelligence,the normal product of a healthy brain.The patients who come to us fortesting are referred to us by neurosurgeons, neurologists, psychiatrists,cardiologists, and endocrinologists.Naturally, we also test a large number of normal persons of various agesto serve as controls.Some of our tests are currentlybeing applied by the Navy and theAir Corps in their attempt to determine the possible effects upon thebrain from prolonged exposure ofmilitary personnel to the very intensenoise levels of jet fighter planes asthey are launched from aircraft carriers.Copies of our tests are now beingapplied in some half dozen medicalcenters throughout the country in thestudy and diagnosis of brain-injuredpatients. Our Aphasia Test is widelyused in English speaking countriesthroughout the world. It has beentranslated into Portugese and willsoon be available in Spanish. (Aphasia is loss or impairment of the powerto use or understand speech.)During the past year the doctoralresearch of one of my graduate students, Dr. Gerald Shure, now at theUniversity of Utah, has produced animportant confirmation of ProfessorLashley's principle of mass action. Itturns out that our A factor (abstraction) is disturbed in direct proportionto mass of cortical tissue injured inman's frontal lobes. In this respect,rat brains and human brains appearto be alike. Related to this discoveryis our observation that injury to thecortex diminishes but does not abolishany of our four factors. Purely cortical lesions do not disturb the formof intellect but diminish its quantity. If, as in the case of rat brains,disturbance in behavior is producedby the number of cells rather than byspecial kinds of cells, then a new possibility arises in the treatment of cor->tical brain injury in man: Appropriate chemical stimulation of theremaining cortical cells might increasethe quantity of intellect produced bythe injured brain to the point of normal performance. At the present timethis possibility remains a scientificdream rather than an accomplishment. There are, however, enoughhints from studies of lower animalsto bring this possible new therapeuticapproach to human brain injuryunder careful study.BIOPSYCHOLOGIST WARD C. HALSTEAD IN HIS BILLINGS HOSPITAL OFFICE16 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINELewellynON MONDAY, October 18, SunnyGym at the Laboratory Schooltook on all the trappings of a bargain basement as hundreds of peopleswarmed in to buy the 8,000 articlesof clothing and other items at theSchool's semi-annual ScholarshipFund Sale.The prices at the sale ranged fromfive cents — for books and sox — to$35 for a silver fox stole. For thefirst time, a second-hand televisionset was offered for sale. It went for$10. At the sale last Spring the choiceitem was a mastodon tooth.By the time the sale was over onTuesday noon, adding machines wereclicking off a total intake of $3,573,of which approximately one halfwould go to the scholarship fund. Theother half is refunded to the donorin proportion to his donations and theamount his particular items sold for.This practice, it is thought, encourages donors to bring in articles ofhigher quality and in better condition.The clothing sale began seven yearsand sixteen sales ago. In the Springof 1947 a group of Laboratory Schoolparents organized the first ClothingExchange Sale. It had a three-foldpurpose: To foster a cooperativespirit among parents by working onDECEMBER, 1954 a common project, to raise money forthe school's scholarship fund, and tohelp meet the need in post-warEurope for clothing by sending allunsold clothing that was in good condition overseas via • the AmericanFriends Service Committee.A contribution of $365 was made tothe scholarship fund as a result of thefirst sale, and the next sale the following Fall netted $410 for Scholarship help. By comparison, $4,000 wascontributed to scholarships by lastyear's two sales.Mrs. Austin Brues, whose husbandis director of the division of biologicaland medical research at the ArgonneLaboratory, was chairman of the firstsale. She and her committee settledon the practice, common among salesat Eastern private schools, of refunding half of the sale price of each itemto the donors.That first sale grossed $750, arousedaround seventy-five parents to worktogether on the sale, and shippedtwenty cartons of clothing overseas.By comparison, the sixteenth saleraised $3,573, numbered 275 workersin the crew, and shipped thirty boxesof unsold clothing abroad.Co-chairmen of the Fall 1954 salewere faculty wives Mrs., ChauncyHarris and Mrs. Allison Dunham. To gether they guided the chairman ofthe various committees and theirworkers through the maze of detailand organization necessary to keeptabs of the thousands of articles thatare donated, and the countlesswoman-hours of work needed to calculate refund checks.The refund checks this year rangedfrom $42 to twenty-five cents.While the sale was originally aclothing exchange, it has grown toinclude a wide range of miscellaneous items. A small mink cape showedup last Spring. Choice items havealso included an English bone chinatea set, movie projectors, vacuumcleaners, and dish washers. Ice-skates are perennially popular as wellas toys and books. Workers at thesale aren't surprised anymore at anything that is donated, and one package of clothing disclosed a used vaccination patch tucked among theitems.There is always a brisk trade ininfant wear and furnishings.

Libby, Professor ofChemistry in the Institute for Nuclear Studies now on leave to theAtomic Energy Commission, reports.Mr. Libby recently published thefifth group of findings establishingthe prehistoric time scale for areas inNorth America, Central America, Europe and Africa, using the Carbon14 method of dating ancient materials.The Mayan calendar was one of themost accurate ever made by man andmore accurate than the calendar usedby the Spaniards when they conqueredthe descendants of the Mayas inYucatan.While Mayan dates thus can be correlated with each other, archeologistshave disagreed about correlatingdates in the Mayan calendar with ourcalendar. Two contradictory theorieshave been evolved, one by Herbert J.Spinden and the other by J. T. Goodman and J. Eric Thompson.In establishing the definitive correlation, Libby used carved sapodillawood sections of door frame fromGuatemala. These frames had identical Mayan dates carved on them. According to Spinden's idea, the Mayandate should be correlated with ourcalendar to read October 30, 481 A.D.According to the opposing view, thedate would be June 30, 741 A.D.Libby's results show that the Spin den correlation of the calendars iscorrect. As a result, archeologists ofMiddle America now have a knowntime scale with which to operate.ISL takes assemblyFor the first time in Student Government history a political party captured all but four seats in the 46-seatstudent assembly, as the IndependentStudents League won 42 of 45 contested positions in the all- campuselections last month. (The medicalschool failed to run a candidate forthe 46th seat, which is still empty.)HE WON!Tipton Candidates from Student Representative Party, the losing side, wereelected to fill one seat in the college, one in social sciences, and onein the federated theological schools.There were no independent candidates on this year's slate.The victory gives ISL control ofStudent Government for the sixthtime since ISL's inception in 1948.Approximately 32% of the totalstudent body cast about 1500 ballots. This is a 4% drop from lastyear's election.ISL campaigned on their programof student services. Under their direction, Student Government runs aStudent Center in Reynolds Club,which includes a book exchange,theatre ticket service, and mimeograph service. SRP denounced thecenter, labelling it a "wire cage" (thebook center is enclosed behind a wirefence) and again put forth proposalsfor U.S. -Russian student exchange.Representation in the student assembly is divided by divisions andschools, with the college forming aseparate electoral division. One delegate represents roughly 100 studentswith a minimum of one seat for eachbody.SG is the official spokesman forthe student body before the University administration.Left, Leah Blumberg tells AlFortier, College student, that he hasjust been elected president of StudentGovernment.20 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEJoins Research CenterThe Chicago Tumor Institute became affiliated with the medical andbiological research center of the University recently, turning over its assets of more than a quarter of a million dollars for use in the study andtreatment of cancer.The radiation therapy floor of thecenter, which includes the NathanGoldblatt Memorial Hospital and theA.E.C. -built Argonne Cancer Research Hospital, has been designatedthe Chicago Tumor Institute of theUniversity.The Institute was organized in 1937,largely through the efforts of the lateDr. Ludvig Hektoen, for over 30 yearsprofessor and head of the University'sdepartment of pathology. He and Dr.Max Cutler, who resigned as directorin 1953, operated the Institute as adiagnostic and radio-therapy center.The Institute pioneered in the useof massive dosages of radiation, obtaining a loan from the Belgian government of one of the largest stocksof radium ever gathered together(about 10 grams).New HeadquartersThe Downtown Program of theSchool of Business has moved to newquarters. It is now housed in theInternational Harvester Educationand Training Building, 190 East Delaware Street, on the Near North Side.The center is rented from I-H,which uses the building in the daytime. The air-conditioned building,opened in 1952, contains the latest inteaching aids and classroom equipment.The move from 19 South La SalleStreet to the new quarters is partof the School's plan to increase theavailability of its offerings in businessmanagement to technical and professional people in the Chicago area. Forexample, the number of engineerswho have enrolled as candidates forthe degree of Master of Business Administration has increased sharply inthe past two years.The School's downtown eveningprogram has grown considerably sinceWorld War II. The evening programis similar to the regular campus daytime program, and also leads to anM.B.A. degree. It is scheduled inevening hours to suit the needs ofworking men and women.Downtown courses are, for the mostpart, given by regular campus faculty. *Students may, and often do, movefreely from one program to the other.Non-degree students may also enroll. In addition to the regular eveningprogram, the new center will housethe School's famed Executives Program, an intensive training series forleadership in industry.Enrollment upEnrollment is up almost 10% overlast year, reports Registrar William E.Scott.Enrollment for the entire University is currently 6,986, compared to6,362 a year ago, an increase of 624,Mr. Scott said. The number of students on theQuadrangles is 4,713, compared to4,615 last year, an increase of 98, or2.1%.Downtown College showed thesharpest jump in enrollment, with anadditional 452 students signed up.Total enrollment is now 1,671, up37.1% from the 1,219 registered a yearago.The School of Business DowntownCollege also showed a sizeable increase, with 602 enrolled, an increaseof 74, or 14%, over 528 students lastyear.NEW HEADQUARTERS FOR DOWNTOWN PROGRAM, SCHOOL OF BUSINESS, SHOWING HANDSOME ENTRANCE (ABOVE) AND TYPICALCLASSROOM (BELOW) WITH LATEST IN FURNISHINGS AND LIGHTING.DECEMBER, 1954 21Sketch flight M Codngton MallTwo views of the new art studiowhich has been set up in LexingtonHall for use by College humanitiesclasses, out of funds donated to thestaff.

By WalterBlum, JD, '41, and Harry Kalven, Jr.,JD, '38. University of Chicago Press,1953. $2.50.The principle of progressive taxation is one of the central commitmentsof modern American capitalism. Yetno conclusive case has ever beenmade for any of the popular assumptions that progressive taxation isequitable or "right." The whole issuehas long been in need of a carefulre - examination .Professors Blum and Kalven (ofthe University's Law School) havemade an intelligent, informed, andexhaustive examination of this problem. Their study consists of a brieflegal history of progressive taxationand an extended examination of theeconomic, philosophical, political,ethical, and legal arguments whichbuttress or weaken the doctrine.Required reading for those seri ously concerned with law, economics,and the ethics of public policy, THEUNEASY CASE FOR PROGRESSIVE TAXATION will also open theeyes of anyone who pays taxes — orargues about them.AGE AND ACHIEVEMENT. ByHarvey Lehman, PhD '25. PrincetonUniversity Press, 1953. $7.50.In this book Mr. Lehman is seekingto answer the questions: At whatage is a man likely to reach the peakof achievement in his chosen field, andhow gradually may he expect it todecline? Mr. Lehman studies manyfields, from boxing to philosophy,from business to statemanship.Although the above questions arecentral to many of the problems facedby psychology, sociology, and education, certain assumptions about man'screativity in relation to his chronological age have become so widely accepted as fact that the findings ofthis book come as a surprise.A product of twenty years of research, the book is a statistical evaluation of the quality and quantity ofachievement in relation to age. Avast amount of factual information ispresented in many graphs and tables.Mr. Lehman is Professor of Psychology at Ohio University.

George is only 29years old, but already he's won membership in ourLeaders' Association. He says his success in selling lifeinsurance is a direct result of New England Mutual'scomprehensive course of sales training.The NEW ENGLANDMUTUAL Life InsuranceCompany of Boston Suppose I join New England Mutual as a field representative. How would they start training me?"First, you'd get basic training in your own agency — boththeory and field work. Then, after a few months of sellingunder expert guidance, comes a comprehensive Home Office course in Boston."How soon can I expect this training to pay off?"I'll give you an example of five new men at one of oureastern agencies. Young fellows, 24 to 31 years old. Onlyone had any previous experience in life insurance. By theend of the first year their incomes ranged from $3532 to$5645. With renewal commissions, first year earningswould be from $5824 to $9702. The average: $7409."Can a man continue his study of life insurance afterthose first two courses?"He most certainly can. The company will next instructyou in the use of its 'Coordinated Estates' programmingservice. Then you go on to 'Advanced Underwriting',which relates insurance to business uses, estate planningand taxation problems. Actually, all through your careeras a New England Mutual agent, you'll be kept posted onthe latest economic and business developments which havea bearing on life insurance."What kind of a career can a salesman look forward towith your company?"Let me cite another example. Out of twelve men who tookone of our Home Office courses in 1947, five are now NewEngland Mutual General Agents. One man has become ahome office executive. The other six are earning comparable incomes in their own communities where they havebuilt successful careers in personal selling."THE COMPANY THAT FOUNDED MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE IN AMERICA -183S Mail this coupon — and without obligationyou'll get a FREE booklet in which 17 ofour agents tell in their own words why theychose a life insurance career withNew England Mutual.Box 333-A2, Boston 17, Mass.Name. .Address .City .
