He will returnto Greece after remaining in residencelong enough to publish some of his material and to train students in his area.Judgment confirmedYou are a mind reader!I just received the October issue andthere was a reprint of "William RaineyHarper" by Milton Mayer — which Iseemed to have missed back there inJune, 1941. It is a very human andsympathetic story and well worth reading.I attended the Harper Centennialluncheon last June . . . and I just sort ofwished, without saying so out loud, thatyou would find space for an article ortwo on Mr. Harper. You did. Thankyou. R.F.H.W.M.NOVEMBER, 1956 1How many years ago did you graduate from college?That was the year that American introduced the DC»3, the plane that for morethan a decade, in peace and war was known as America's "Queen of Transport."That was the year American established the first "college" for airline crews atArdmore, Oklahoma, still the most important training school of its kind in the country.In these last five years alone, American Airlines, America's leading airline,has carried almost 30,000,000 passengers, more than in the previous 20 years combined.Throughout the years, college graduates have ledthe swing to modern air transportation because theyhave had the vision to see the countless opportunitiesand benefits that air travel makes possible.Today, in terms of both business and vacationtrips, these advantages are greater than ever onAmerican Airlines, America's leading airline.20 years15 years5 yearsAMERICANAIRUNES2 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE[tlT|ttS [sssue661 ^on't worry.

The writerwas referring to the fact that the University was host for ten days to 900students from colleges in the U.S. andabroad, who flocked here for the ninthannual congress of the U.S. NationalStudents Association, the sixth annualconference of Student Body Presidents,and the second annual Conference onForeign Student Affairs.Dormitories were turned over to thedelegates, and Hutchinson Commons wasreserved for their use. They held committee meetings in Cobb Hall and plenarysessions in Mandel Hall. Ida Noyes Hallwas the center of activities, and it waskept open on a 24-hour-a-day basis fordelegates' use. (Plenary sessions oftenran into the small hours of the morning,after which caucusses were held in IdaNoyes. The more stalwart souls went onto parties after that.)When the last delegate had packed hisbermuda shorts and departed, and thelast piece of paper had been swept fromMandel Hall, University officials heaved asigh of relief. Everyone agreed, however,that the meeting had been a wholly successful one — the University had been impressed by the delegates, and the delegates had been impressed by the University.

S. National Student Association, foundedten years ago in Mandel Hall, returned to theMidway for the first time since then for its ninthannual congress in August.This year's 900 delegates, representing 309 colleges and 600,000 students, proved to be as serious-minded and concerned with the problems of theirtime as the veterans who founded the organization.Like their predecessors, they expressed concernwith world problems. But they spent most of theirenergies discussing a host of practical problems theyface every day on campus.The four commissions and 32 sub-commissions considered such topics as student self -discipline, fair-wage programs, student health and insurance programs, problems of housing and parking, athleticprograms, student press, and student leadershiptraining programs.On the national scene, one of the chief concernswas integration. Remarked a delegate: "They've consulted everyone on this but the students."Delegates passed a resolution urging that integration be accomplished "at the swiftest possible pace,"everywhere in the country.They also:Swapped ideas on how to make students' voicesheard in planning college curricula, and in evaluatingcourses and professors;Considered the problems colleges face with swellingenrollments — such as housing, and seeing that theindividual's needs are not overlooked;Appointed a committee to approach railroad associations, to work out cheaper travel plans for students.Over 1,000 persons, including delegates, facultyand administration guests and observers attended thecongress.Among the most interested observers were a groupof foreign student leaders, who attended the congressunder a Ford Foundation grant. The Foundationhas been so impressed with U.S.N.S.A.'s work inleadership training that it made a grant of $128,000to enable students from Asia, Africa, the MiddleEast and Latin America to come to this country tolearn first-hand of the democratic institutions on theAmerican campus. After attending the congress,twelve foreign students will spend a year at American colleges. (Saburo Suzuki of Japan will be a student at Chicago this year.)Here's how U.S.N.S.A. came into being:Ten years ago, in August, 1946, 300 students from38 countries met in the then-free city of Prague,Delegate (left) outlines details of actual problem whicharose between student and administration, as collegedeans listen. Later, dean from the same college presented the administration's side of the case. Deans andstudents then considered the solution together. "The obligation of the privileged hasalways been service. How well are wepreparing ourselves to render that service?" asks one college student of hisfellows. Trying to find an answer areAmerica'sStudentLeadersNOVEMBER, 1956 DCzechoslovakia, at the invitation of the Czech andBritish national unions of students. This first WorldStudent Congress had the announced goal of increasing student welfare and international goodwillthrough developing closer relations among universitystudents of the world.The American delegation to this meeting was madeup of 25 students representing ten universities andnine national student organizations. They realizedthey could not speak officially for the American student community. It was then that the idea developedof forming a national organization in this countrywhich would be based on a democratic representationof student opinion, and would be non-partisan andnon-sectarian.During the Christmas holidays of 1946, 700 officialdelegates from 294 schools and 16 national studentorganizations and youth groups met for three daysat Mandel Hall. Out of that meeting came plans forU.S.N.S.A., which was formally set up in the summerof 1947, at a convention at the University of Wisconsin.N.S.A. decided at the outset that it wanted toreflect accurately and consistently the thinking ofstudents on member campuses. For this > reason itvoted to restrict membership to the democraticallyelected leaders of the student bodies in member colleges and universities.Although one of its primary interests is international student affairs, N.S.A. never officially affiliated withthe International Union of Students, which wasformed as a result of the Prague meeting of 1946.At the present time, the members of I. U.S. are allstudent groups behind the Iron Curtain, with twoexceptions, Japan and Ecuador. In 1950, U.S. N.S.A.joined with fifteen other national unions of studentsin the International Student Conference. This organization met in Ceylon in September for its sixthannual congress.N.S.A. maintains headquarters in Philadelphia. Sixnational officers are elected each year, a presidentand five vice presidents for: national affairs; international affairs; student government; student affairs;educational affairs. Four of these are full-time payingjobs; students take a year's leave of absence fromcampus to fill them.N.S.A. conducted a full-scale research study onstudent leadership last year under a $30,000 grantfrom the Ford Foundation.Among the observers was Hiralal Bose, YouthSecretary of India's Central Congress Party, (Nehru'sparty), who is on a tour of the U.S.After a few days at the convention he remarked:"I am terribly impressed by what I have seen, bythe quality of students and the discussions they carryon, but most of all, by their strict adherence to democratic procedure."6U.S.N.S.A.'s Ninth CongressDelegates meet in plenary session inMandel Hall.

Champion Ward,William Rainey Harper Professor of the Humanities andformer Dean of The College, told alumni at the first loopluncheon of the year on October 3 at the Art Institute.Ward, who served in India for twenty months as educational representative of the overseas division of theFord Foundation, talked about the role of the Americanconsultant abroad."One should not expect to implant American ideas inthe host culture without radical modifications," he said."The consultant should leave international policies tothe ambassador and should make modern progress without causing tension in the country."Ward told his audience that contrary to the commonbelief that there exists in India today a feeling of animosity towards the British people, Indians have adoptedGandhi's philosophy, "Hate the sin, but not the sinner."As a result, he said, "There is a remarkable fraternalfeeling between the two peoples."Runners Off To Winning SeasonThe Varsity Cross Country Team has already achievedtwo victories, in one of the earliest starts in its history.On September 22 University runners beat NorthernIllinois State University 26-32. Art Omohundro, ChuckRhyne, and Arne Richards placed one, two and three,respectively. On September 29 the team beat WesternIllinois State by a score of 24-31. Omohundro again tookfirst with a time of 15:37.5, a new course record.Governmental Affairs GrantThe University has been awarded a $200,000 Ford Foundation grant for research professorships in governmentalaffairs.The grant will enable the University to bring "distinguished political scientists" to campus for teachingand research assignments, said Chancellor Kimpton.Similar grants were made to Princeton and Yale.Behavioral Sciences FellowshipsFive University faculty members are among the 49scholars and scientists awarded fellowships at the Centerfor Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, Stanford,California. Granting of the fellowships for the academicyear 1956-57 was announced by Ralph W. Tyler, Directorof the Center.Recipients of the fellowships have been granted leavesof absences by their home institutions to spend the coming year at the Center on individual research and theexploration of new methods for the improvement of behavioral research and training.Fellows from the University of Chicago are CharlesMorris, Lecturer in Philosophy; A. K. Romney, AssistantProfessor of Anthropology; Theodore W. Schultz, Chairman of Economics and Charles L. Hutchinson Distinguished Service Professor of Economics; W. Allen Wallis,Dean of the School of Business, Professor of Business andEconomics and Professor and Chairman of the Committeeon Statistics; and Sherwood L. Washburn, Professor ofAnthropology.The Center was established in 1954 under a Ford Foundation grant to enable scholars to spend a year in thestudy of human behavior free from the administrativeduties accompanying normal residence in colleges or universities. Tyler, on leave of absence as Professor of Education at the University, has served as president anddirector of the Center since its founding.13Close Drexel AvenueThe Chicago City Council has votedto close Drexel Avenue, between 58thand 59th Streets, (the area betweenLying-in and Billings Hospitals), tothrough traffic. The Clinics had beenworking towards this end for sometime.Plans are being considered to putan archway at 58th Street and DrexelAvenue, which will designate it as ahospital area closed to general traffic.The archway will readily show thatit is a private entrance but will affordentry of cars to the ambulance driveas well as delivery trucks and cars toparking lots.More and more patients are beingbrought from Lying-in to Billings because of developments in medicaltechnology. For example, certain laboratory tests which are made in Billings would require too expensive duplication of equipment at Lying-in,and the use of Argonne X-ray therapyfor gynecology patients who are suffering from cancer necessitates thebringing of patients back and forthacross the street.Traffic using Drexel Avenue has become increasingly heavy and represents danger to both patients and personnel. It is hoped that a three-storybuilding will ultimately be builtacross Drexel Avenue connectingLying-in and Billings. This wouldpermit hospital traffic to go back andforth under shelter.University Purchases ApartmentsTo meet the increased enrollmentof married students, the Universityhas purchased four apartment buildings at 5416-18 and 5428-30 S. Woodlawn Avenue and 5417-19 and 5427-29S. University Avenue.The four buildings, each with 18apartments of four and five rooms,are a contiguous group. They arejoined by an open court running fromWoodlawn to University.Breul Named to S.S.A.Appointment of Frank R. Breul asAssistant Professor in the School ofSocial Service Administration hasbeen announced by Alton A. Linford,Dean of the School.Mr. Breul has been a member of thefaculty of the Graduate School ofSocial Work, University of Washington, Seattle, since 1951. He has alsoconducted research and served as aconsultant to the Washington StateLegislative Council and the Washington State Public Welfare agencies.Previously, Mr. Breul was a caseworker with the Division of Public Assistance of the Connecticut Department of Public Welfare and assistantto the director of the Community Advisory Center, Bridgeport, Connecticut.He holds the bachelor of arts degree from Amherst College (1938),the master of arts from the Universityof Chicago (1941) , and doctor of philosophy from McGill University(1951).Prize to SchlesingerDr. Herman I. Schlesinger, Professor Emeritus of Chemistry, has beenawarded the Alfred Stock MemorialPrize by the Society of GermanChemists (Gessellschaft DeutcherChemikur). Dr. Schlesinger addressed the Society at a meeting inHamburg, Germany on September 21.Dr. Schlesinger, still active in research at the University, received theaward for his work on the boron compounds, a field first explored by Stock,a German chemist, beginning in 1912.Based on Stock's original research,Dr. Schlesinger 's work led to the development during World War II of asimple method of generating hydrogengas, which could be used in the fieldto fill meteorological balloons. Industrial applications of his work with theboron compounds have been in thesynthesis of Vitamin A and otherpharmaceutical products.Dr. Schlesinger's studies, still continuing, have also opened new andhighly classified areas of hydrogenchemistry of value in the developmentof rocket fuels.Dr. Schlesinger received his bachelor's and doctor's degrees from theUniversity. He was an active memberof its faculty for forty -one years untilhis retirement in 1948. A noted teacher, he was a pioneering investigatorin inorganic and physical chemistry,studying compounds of chromium andfluorine. During World War II, hewas an official investigator of volatileuranium compounds.B.A. Program ExpandedGeneral education at the Universityhas been extended into a new area,non-western civilization, in the jointbachelor of arts program adopted bythe College and Division of the SocialSciences.Courses of a year in length in thecivilizations of India, China, and Islamare being offered for the first time thisautumn.The new courses represent the major departure in the curriculumadopted by the College and the Division, which completes the broad re organization of undergraduate education initiated three years ago byChancellor Kimpton.Though offered primarily for students who will take the bachelor'sdegree in the social sciences, the newcourses will also be available to students in joint programs administeredby the College and the Humanities,Biological Sciences, and PhysicalSciences Division.The reorganized program for thosespecializing in the social sciences consists of three sections. One is in required courses of general education,which the University of Chicago pioneered in developing and emphasizing. The second is in elective generaleducation courses. The third is nineone-quarter courses, equivalent toone -fourth of the program, in specialized study of the social sciences.There will be no universal requirement that a student in the joint program take a course in non-westerncivilization. These courses are groupedwith two of long standing, "Historyof Western Civilization," and "History of American Civilization" andstudents concentrating in the socialsciences must qualify in two of thesethree areas.As with the other joint degree programs evolved at the University forthe bachelor's degree, that in the social sciences is specifically designedfor high school graduates. Early entrants in the College will have additional requirements to meet.Name New CoachesTwo appointments to the University's coaching staff have been madeby Walter L. Hass, new Director ofAthletics.

There wereexceptions — Harvard under Eliot, forinstance— but they did not impressthe country. As for graduate research,it was almost non-existent. Harper'sfar-flung contacts, at Chautauqua, athis summer schools, had shown himthe picture. His insight had shownhim the need.What American education neededwas an institution new enough to pioneer and strong enough to set thepace that the rest would follow. Thetask of such an institution would notbe to teach but to learn. It would takeas its province not the daylight ofhuman understanding but the darkness, hacking away at the night ofthe unknown until at last it hadhacked a hole big enough for mankind to pass through into a bettersociety. Civilization might spreadwith the spread of old truths, but itcould advance only with the discovery of new.The business of this university,then, would be discovery and thetraining of discoverers. Every instructor would be an investigator, for,said Harper, "it is only the man whohas made investigations who mayteach others to investigate." The mento be called to the faculty of such aninstitution would have to be originalminds, and, like all men consumed bythe peculiar passion of originality,they would have to have a world oftheir own to live in, a world whoselimits would be the farthest reachesof man's inquiry.Civilize the adolescentThe students of the universitywould not be boys and girls but mature men and women, candidates forthe world of scholarship. HenryPhilip Tappan had had the same ideawhen he became the first Presidentof the University of Michigan in 1852and announced that Michigan was notto be "a preparatory school for boys."But Tappan, denounced for trying to"Prussianize" the state of Michiganthrough its University, had to abandon his dream, and Ann Arbor, afterhe left, had become another greatcollege. It could not be done, apparently, in a state university, which hadto give the taxpayers what theywanted when they wanted it. Anendowed university was the onlyhope.This university of Harper's wouldcontain a college, and even a secondary and elementary school. But theywould exist for the sake of the university, not the university for the sake of them. They would be laboratories, nothing more, for experimentation in education. So, too, with professional schools, Divinity, Law, andMedicine. They would not exist primarily for the preparation ot lawyers,doctors, and preachers, but for thepurpose of discovery and the trainingof discoverers in each field.College life, meaning fraternities,football, and fun, would be permittedto exist only insofar as it did notinterfere with the purposes of theuniversity. Harper knew from grueling personal ' experience, how nearlyimpossible it was for a man to be atonce a scholar and a teacher, to givehimself up to research and at thesame time civilize the adolescenthomo sapiens ferus. He knew, too,how nearly impossible it was for aninstitution to pursue the truth fearlessly and at the same time to tackand shape its policy to increase enrollment and compete with other institutions.No visions with a capital VThe work of Harper's universitywould be primarily theoretical, notpractical. In Science, it would lay thegroundwork for discoveries of generaluse. In Education, it would give thecountry new methods and produce asteady stream of teachers to introducethose methods into the schools andcolleges in which they would teach.In the professions, his universitywould find out how to produce betterpractitioners so that the professionalschools could produce them. Harper'suniversity would water the tree ofknowledge at the roots.William Rainey Harper didn't sitaround having Visions with a capitalV. A conversation, a lecture, or thereading of a book would produce asegment of the university to be, andthe segment would lodge itself, unordered, in the things - to - be - donecompartment of his mind. As the segments piled up, over the years, in thethings-to-be-done compartment, theybegan to crowd the things-being-donecompartment. Then the universityhad to be created, to make room forthem.Harper did not create the university idea. In 1886 the University ofBerlin had five thousand students,all of them post-graduate in theAmerican college sense. Oxford andCambridge had twenty-five hundredto three thousand students each. ButAmerica was busy with more urgentmatters than new truth. It was satisfied with Harvard, a college only, afew of whose faculty and studentswere engaged in real university work. In 1876 Johns Hopkins was established with Daniel Coit Gilman asPresident. Hopkins was devoted toresearch, but it was a small institution. In 1888 G. Stanley Hall leftHopkins to be the first President ofClark University. Hall, too, tried tocreate an institution for advancedwork, but the founder of Clarkwanted a college, and the founderfinally had his way. While Harperwas still at Morgan Park, Seth Lowwas trying to persuade ColumbiaCollege to transform itself into a university, and Timothy Dwight was doing the same thing at Yale.Harper's slowly shaping visionwasn't so much original as it was audacious. To have the university hewanted he would have to find, not amillionaire but a multi-millionaire,and not an ordinary multi-millionaireeither, but one who could be sold anidea completely remote from American thinking on education and philanthropy. As to who would do theselling, once this Heaven-sent Midaswas found, there was never any doubtin Harper's mind. Willie Harpercould sell anybody anything. Norwas there any doubt that Heavenwould send the Midas, for Harper'sfaith, like his vision, was audacious.God would provide, but He couldnot be hurried. Harper was beingdeluged by letters from friends atYale, begging him to take the professorship of Semitic languages there.His future, they told him, lay notin a small seminary in Chicago butin a great college in the cultural center of the country. Harper thoughtthat his future lay in a great university in Chicago. President Dwightwas sending him telegrams now andrailroad tickets to New Haven. Harper thought it over and decided,finally, that the shortest way fromMorgan Park to Chicago was via NewHaven. He accepted the post at Yale.He was twenty -nine years old.All the Harper they could getIt wasn't a man but a caravan thatmoved across the country from Morgan Park the summer of 1886. Theheadquarters of the correspondenceschool, of the summer schools of Hebrew, of Chautauqua, of the AmericanInstitute of Hebrew, and of twolearned journals all had to be carried away, together with all the assistants and equipment involved. Itwas certainly the first time that anyAmerican railroad had ever shippeda complete composing room of Hebrew type. Moving Harper to Yalerequired the whole summer, andhousing him, when he got there, re-NOVEMBER, 1956 17quired a three - story building indowntown New Haven.What had happened at Denison andat Morgan Park happened all overagain, only on a larger scale Thewhole Divinity School at Yale, traditionally hardened against Hebrew,caught his enthusiasm. Students discovered that after a year in Hebrewwith Harper, they knew the languagebetter than they knew any other language after six years with any otherteacher. He was asked to give seminars in Assyrian, Arabic, Aramaic,Chaldee, Sanskrit, and Syriac, and thedivinity students, who scarcely needed the command of these exotictongues for success in the ministry,piled into his classes. They wanted allthe Harper they could get.But the linguist's major interestnow was in teaching the "good littlebook" of his childhood. He offeredcourses in the English Bible to undergraduates, and before long the entireundergraduate body was absorbed inthe historical study of the Prophets,an approach that would have beendecidedly unorthodox in any Baptistinstitution. In the hands of this warmand simple man, the Bible came tolife. In his second year at Yale, theadministration had to turn over thelargest assembly hall in the University for his undergraduate lectures.He gave a series of Bible lecturesin downtown New Haven, and twelvehundred townspeople attended them.He was called to New York, to Philadelphia, and to Boston to repeatthem. Every other Sunday he lectured before the entire student bodyof Vassar, and special lectures tookhim to colleges everywhere. The manwas hungry, and his hunger fed onthe feeding of others.Sleep had to payHe was probably one of the busiestmen in America. His daily mail waslarger than Yale University's. Hecouldn't carry the burden, but hewouldn't lay it down. There was onlyone alternative. Carefully pickingmen like Frank Knight Sanders, whowas later Dean of the Yale DivinitySchool, he established a managing assistant for each of his enterprises.Once he had chosen a man, the manwas given complete responsibility fordetails. "If you get into trouble,"said Harper to Sanders, "let meknow." That was the way John D.Rockefeller was operating, in a somewhat different line of business.But there was one thing he couldnot delegate to others, and that wasthe fire he infused into everything he touched. He neither could, nor would.Except for routine details in each ofhis ventures, he did everything himself. His schedule took him to hisfirst class at 7:30 in the morning. Hetaught until 11:00, and went to hisoffice to work on his mail, discussperhaps a dozen matters with each ofhis five assistants, and drink a quartof eggnog at his desk. Catching the1:00 o'clock train to New York orBoston, he would deliver a lecture inthe afternoon and another in the evening. The midnight train took himback to New Haven and his study.Professor T. D. Seymour, the fatherof a future president of Yale, invariably awakened at four in themorning and went to his study, justas invariably encountering Harperleaving his.He seldom' slept when other mendid. But when other men were awakeand discussing matters of routine thatdidn't interest him, he would saysomething to indicate that he was attentive, go to sleep the next instant,and awaken five minues later and resume the discussion. He could anticipate a profitless period of a conferenceand put himself to sleep for its duration. It was hard to take offense whenhe did it, because he never lost thethread of the conversation. "He couldlisten and sleep," said one of his Yaleassociates, "at the same time."The midnight hours were all he hadfor study, for writing, for reading,and for friends. A student or younginstructor, unable to solve some personal or scholarly problem, would getup in the middle of the night andwalk over to the darkened campus.One light would be shining, from thecorner study of North College. Irresistibly the single beam of light drewthe troubled spirit down its path toHarper's study. And no matter howdeeply engrossed in his work the professor might have been a moment before, he seemed to have nothingwhatever to do but listen to his visitorand consider his problem. Harpercouldn't bring himself to refuse thoseinterviews.But they had to be paid for, andsleep had to pay for them. No matterhow near the dawn it was or howweary the man, classes had to be prepared. The student might be forgivenfor coming to class unprepared, theteacher never.Scholarship, too, had to be crowdedinto the night. During his two yearsat Yale he wrote a textbook on Hebrew and another on Greek, he editeda series of volumes on the inductivemethod of teaching Latin and Greek,he wrote articles for learned journals and regular reports on his variousenterprises, and he carried on a running disputation in Hebraica on theMosaic authorship of the Pentateuch,taking the liberal position against thetraditional position of his eminentopponent, Dr. W. Henry Green ofPrinceton.Sleep had to pay for it all, but Harper had ultimately to settle his account with sleep. He was a heavy,muscular man, but nobody cculd withstand indefinitely the abuse of drivingwork, erratic hours, and a diet ofhurried mouthfuls broken occasionally by an oyster feast. His darkround face had no ruddiness in it. Asa boy of fifteen he had what wasknown in New Concord as a "badspell," so bad, indeed, that SamuelHarper wrote in his diary one day:I fear Willie will not be long with us.There was something wrong withwhat New Concord called his stomach.The "perfect rest"The summer of 1889 was the hardest-worked of his life. ' "We have hada most glorious season at Chautauqua," he wrote his friend Goodspeed."The increase in every department isover forty per cent. We do not knowwhat we are to do with the peoplewho are to come in this week andnext." His pallor was darker, his stepswere slower, his weariness neverlifted, but the summer was "glorious."Then he broke down. Ella Harper wasworried, but her husband told herhe was just tired. He decided to goto Europe for a month of "perfectrest," but when he went, he foundhimself, accidentally of course, inStockholm where the InternationalCongress of Orientalists was meeting.There was one project that wasn'tpressing. That was the university.Goodspeed and Strong had weakenedthemselves, he thought, by addingtheir names to the long, long list ofpetitioners who came to John D.Rockefeller wanting something. Theydidn't want anything for themselves,it was true, but they wanted something from Rockefeller. They harassedhim. The Oil King wanted to be letalone; perhaps he even wanted somebody he could go to, somebody whowanted to listen instead of talk.William Rainey Harper was an impatient man, impatient to spread education everywhere, impatient to discover and to see discovery done. Buthe was not impulsive. He could wait,as long as he knew that success wasinevitable. And though he had neverexchanged a word with Rockefeller,he knew that success was inevitable.He knew, too, that he wanted his uni-18 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEversity in Chicago, in the roaring capital of the great uncultivated middleempire of America. An idea that defied tradition belonged in a place thatdefied tradition. He predicted, in1887, that a university in Chicago"would in ten years have more students, if rightly conducted, than Yaleor Harvard has today." The prediction seemed fantastic. And so itproved. It was fantastically modest.Rockefeller spent the summer of1887 in Europe with Dr. Strong andwhen they returned it appeared thatStrong was on the very verge of victory. But the theologian made a fatalmistake. Rockefeller had talked agreat deal about Harper that summerin Europe, and as soon as they gotback Strong visited Harper and wroteto Rockefeller: "My dear Mr. Rockefeller, if we let that man get out ofour hands, it will be the greatest lossour denomination has sustained during this century."Rockefeller had heard about thatman long enough. He wanted to seehim. He wrote him at New Haven,asking him to spend the day with himin New York. The friendless OilKing and the friendly little professorhad lunch together. Rockefellertalked. Rockefeller suggested theyspend the afternoon riding in thepark. Harper's time was, by his ownestimate, worth a dollar an hour;Rockefeller was getting rich. Rockefeller suggested, at the end of theafternoon, that Harper come to thehouse for the evening. Rockefellertalked. He talked and talked. Hetalked as if he had never had a chanceto talk before, and perhaps he hadn't.Harper listened and smiled and answered questions.Rockefeller wanted to know allabout him, about his life, his work,and his family. As the evening woreon, the lonely capitalist, drawn on byhis attentive companion, found himself talking about Strong's plan forNew York. Harper smiled and nodded. Rockefeller described the projectin intimate detail and said he wasthinking of putting eight or ten million dollars into it. Harper smiled and .nodded. Then he said he wanted Harper to be its president. Harped smiled.It was very flattering, Harper said. Itwould be a great opportunity. Buthe didn't nod. He changed the subject, absent-mindedly, and talkedabout Goodspeed and Northrup andthe Seminary in Morgan Park. Thenhe went back to New Haven.A year passed, and Rockefeller,watching everything he touched turnto gold, resisted the petitioners, Eastand West.

Hulbert,first Dean of the Divinity School,who replied: "For a long timeenvelopes have not been usedfrom this office except when matters wh[ich] ought not to comeunder the public eye, as in theMoncrief-Johnson case, have beenenclosed."NOVEMBER, 1956went on about his work in NewHaven, saying nothing. His apparentindifference may have irritated Rockefeller; it certainly must have fascinated him. Early in October of 1888the capitalist appeared at Vassar afterHarper's Sunday morning lecture,and the fourteen-hour interview ensued. Rockefeller talked. Harper listened. Much of what he heard, he'dheard before. But as they took thetrain to New York together that night,Rockefeller began to talk about Chicago. "He talked for hours in reference to the scheme for establishingthe great university of Chicago instead of New York," Harper wroteGoodspeed the following day. "Thelong and short of it is I feel confidentthat his mind has turned. He standsready after the holidays to do something for Chicago. It will have to bemanaged, however, very carefully."It was already being managed verycarefully. Sensing that the strategicmoment had come at last, Harper, hisenthusiasm at flood stage, opened thedam. He didn't, however, make Strongor Goodspeed's mistake of trying tosweep the man off his feet. He letRockefeller advance the argumentsfor Chicago, he himself merely testifying to their validity. His role wasthat of the disinterested expert.Rockefeller turned up again at Vassar and spent the day with Harper."He is practically committed to thething," Harper wrote Goodspeed. Aweek later Rockefeller went to Cornell to ask the advice of educatorsthere and found himself listening toProf. E. Benjamin Andrews, the sameE. Benjamin Andrews who, as President of Denison University severalyears before, had decided that WillHarper was the most promising youngman he had ever seen. The followingweek the capitalist appeared in NewHaven, inquiring the way to Professor Harper's study."It is absolutely certain that thething is to be done," Harper wroteGoodspeed. "It is now only a questionas to what scale. I have every timeclaimed that nothing less than fourmillions would be satisfactory to begin with, and have expressed mydesire for five. Just what he wantsto do and what his definite ideas areI cannot yet tell. . . "Rockefeller did not pretend to bean educator or to know what theneeds of education were. Harper hadthe ideas. The industrialist wanted tohear the objections to Harper's ideas.But there were no objections. President Taylor of Vassar was for it. Professor Andrews was for it. ProfessorRobinson of Cornell was for it. Rocke feller asked them if it wouldn't bebetter to place the institution inWashington, if it wouldn't be betterto assist existing colleges, if itwouldn't be better to build a Seminary.They thought it would be better tobuild the University of Chicago, andto build it around Harper.Only Dr. Strong dissented and hisdissent was violent. He wrote Harperthat "the chance is open to us to takepossession of New York, and to leadthe march of education on this continent." Harper's idea of "a mongrelinstitution in Chicago, which is neither fish, flesh, nor fowl, neither University 5 College, nor Academy, butall three combined," would not create"a ripple on the surface of our educational ocean."But Strong was not nearly so horrified at the location or organizationof the proposed institution as he wasat its fundamental character. It wasto he non-sectarian.Profoundly religious men like President White of Cornell had long maintained that the sectarian spirit wasthe worst enemy of higher education.Denominational intolerance went allthe way back to the ousting of thelearned Henry Dunster, first presidentof Harvard College. Harper had nostomach for witch-burning. He hadadvised Rockefeller to separate Theology from the other departments ofthe new university and to follow theliberal tradition of indifference to theorthodoxy of the teachers. Rockefeller had no choice but to accept thisadvice if he wanted Harper. Whatwas more, Rockefeller could not seewhat difference it made. But to Strongit made a difference little short ofheresy.Seeing his dream slipping hopelessly away, the fervid theologianplayed his last card, in what musthave been the hope of discreditingChicago by discrediting Harper.Strong's daughter, a student at Vas-sar, was attending Harper's lecturesthere and taking notes. Strong, atrustee of the school, studied thegirl's notes and decided that Harperwas in fact a heretic. He wrote Harper that he was unwilling, as a parentand a trustee of Vassar, "to have theunsuspecting child under the influence of this teaching." He wroteRockefeller, who was also a trusteeof Vassar, that Harper had "departedfrom the sound faith" and was plainlya dangerous man.Though Harper refused to answerthe attack, it discouraged him completely. He was, he said, "ready topull out of the whole concern." Hehad his moods, less frequently, per haps, than most men, but more possessive. He could be stiff-necked. Hewould not defend his integrity. Hecertainly would not oppose Strong,a fanatic, with Rockefeller, a layman,as judge between them. PresidentTaylor, who had heard all the Vassarlectures, defended Harper to Rockefeller. President Northrup of MorganPark wrote the capitalist that Harperwas "the most remarkable young manin the religious history of our countryin this century." Rockefeller hadnever really believed Strong's charges.He had believed, however, that theaffair might bring about an open andruinous schism in the Baptist Church.Now he was satisfied that the denomination was behind Harper.A few weeks later, Strong surrendered at last, retracted his charges.Then Rockefeller sought an interviewwith Harper and discussed Chicago,this time in definite detail. Harperreported, as usual to Goodspeed. "Heis certainly planning to do somethingfor Chicago. . . He will decide soon. . .He is more tired than ever of Strong,and the New York plan is N. G."While Strong's unhappy effortswere delaying Rockefeller's decision,a new and powerful figure was pressing it. The Rev. Frederick T. Gateshad been appointed Executive Secretary of the American Baptist Education Society, which was organized in1888 to canvass the educational needsof the denomination. Gates is one ofthose amazing individuals who sometimes slip through the historians' fingers. He was not a preacher at all,but a go-getter, sidetracked, temporarily, in a pulpit in Minneapolis. Hewas a business man's businessman,superlatively sharp and cynical. Hehad been watching Harper for a longtime, and he was convinced that Chicago was the place for Rockefeller'sgreat contribution to Baptist education.At a ministers' conference in October, 1888, Gates read a paper entitled,A New University in Chicago, A Denominational Necessity, as Illustrated by a Study of Western BaptistCollegiate Education. "The brethrenwere 'all torn up' over it," the realisticDr. Gates wrote in describing thereception of his paper. "They wereastonished, astounded, confounded,amazed, bewildered, over-whelmed."And they were, in Chicago, in Washington, in Boston. And one of thebrethren, the brother who was thehardest of all to astonish and astound,found a copy of it on his desk at 26Broadway, New York. He read it andsent for Gates.(To be concluded next month)20 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINETwo pages from Harper's "red books."His vigorous approach to the administration of the University and his own scholarship can best be seen in these volumes.They were a combination appointmentbook, diary, note-book, and "idea" book,where he would hurriedly write memorandato himself. These show "a plan for university officers & Deans," and a typicalday's listing of "important matters." o£&. £~~j ¦ - l^~~r . 0V*<^ . ..

DILLE, JR., '35, AM '56,may well hold the University'srecord for the amount of mileagecovered to earn a master's degree.Dille lives in Elkhart, Ind., wherehe is president of the Truth Publishing Co. For a year and a half, whileworking towards a master's degreefrom the Committee on Communication, he traveled over 200 miles eachweek, commuting from Elkhart toChicago. All told, he covered morethan 12,000 miles before walking upthe aisle at Rockefeller MemorialChapel to receive his diploma in August.It was a newspaperman's curiositywhich got him into it in the first place.Since June, 1952, he's had his handsfull, running the Truth PublishingCo., Inc., in Elkhart. Besides beingeditor and publisher of the ElkhartTruth, a daily newspaper of 22,000circulation, he is responsible for theoperation of the firm's radio and television stations. WSJV-TV was or ganized from scratch during 1953 andwent on the air in March, 1954. With25,000 watts, it is the high-power station serving a large portion of northern Indiana and southern Michigan,with South Bend-Elkhart as the hub.It is an A.B.C. affiliate, while radiostation WTRC AM-FM is an N.B.C.affiliate.Prior to that, Dille had put in seventeen years of newspaper work withthe National Newspaper Syndicate inChicago, (with four out for theNavy).His curiosity was aroused when heread of the University's program fora master's degree in communicationin Editor and Publisher Magazine.He wrote for information on theprogram. Later, on a business trip toChicago, he visited Ken Adler, secretary of the committee, for first handinformation.Adler invited him to speak to oneof the classes in the program, andThe whole Dille family, (above), came to see father graduate. (L. to r.), John,III, Mrs. Dille, Joanne, John, Jr., after commencement in Rockefeller Chapel.NOVEMBER, 1956 25ended up with a speaker and a newstudent.Since Dille lived a little more than100 miles from campus, and alreadyhad a full-time schedule as editorand publisher, finding time to makethe program proved a bit difficult.He sat down with a class scheduleand a New York Central Railroadschedule and worked it out. He didso well, in fact, that he arranged tobe away from the office just half-a-day each week, although it meant attending only half the classes andkeeping pace through extra reading.During the winter and spring quarters of 1955 he left Elkhart each Monday afternoon after the press runstarted, and arrived in Chicago intime for a three-hour evening class.He spent the night at InternationalHouse, had a class on campus Tuesday morning, and was back in Elkhart by press time Tuesday afternoon.Other quarters he was able toattend two classes, (one quarter,three), on Tuesdays by catching a latemorning train to Chicago. (He gainedan hour most of the year, since Elkhart is on Eastern time.) He caughtan evening train back at 7:30 P.M.Dille says that although he enjoyedworking for his degree, if he were todo it again he'd take a leave of absence from business.But all this commuting didn't diminish his enthusiasm for the program."Probably my greatest satisfactionin having done the work is knowingI have made a sustained effort toavoid complacency," he says. "It istoo easy to freeze into a frameworkof attitudes, which destroys perspective in viewing responsibility of massmedia."More specifically, I feel I havebroadened my knowledge of the significance and effect of communication through course material whichwas all new to me. I suppose muchor all of it might be dug out by a person interested in mass media, but inpractice such digging just isn't done.The integration and correlation ofsuch material done by the Committeeon Communication, and the variouspoints of view brought to bear on thematerial provide a program which noindividual could adequately constructon his own."I think the Committee has donean effective job in approaching itsobjective of interrelating mass mediacommunication and the social sciences. It appeals to me as characteristic of the University's desire in manyfields to give the student the framework of reference he needs to apply his own judgments and reasoningrather than get involved in the morefunctional, craftsmanship aspects ofemployment in the mass media fields.I do not want to embark on comparison or contrast to journalism schools.They have improved and have lesscritics among newspapermen thanformerly."Our program at Chicago is simplya widely different appoach. I preferit to the journalism school in satisfying my own interests and believe itis better equipped to orient theyounger person who is aiming atmanagement responsibility in thelong run. I believe that the awareness of the social responsibility of themass media and their effect on humanbehavior is critically important andwell emphasized in U. of C. communication studies."Along with John's record for mileage, the Dille family may have set arecord for the number of Chicago degrees it holds. Besides Dille, himself,other University alumni are: hisfather, John F. Dille, PhB '09; hisbrother, Robert C. Dille, AB '44;Robert's wife, Virginia Nichols Dille,'43; John's wife, Jayne PaulmanDille, AB '37; her sister, BeverlyPaulman Stirling, '31, the latter's husband, Louis J. Stirling, SB, '24; John'swife's brother, Henry Paulman, Jr.,PhB '28, and his wife, Edith KritzerPaulman, PhB '30.Along with all his other activities,Dille has also found time to serve onthe Chancellor's alumni advisorygroup, and to head the Elkhart alumnidrive for the University this year.Needless to say, it went well overquota! Weather Analysis and Forecasting,Second Edition. Vol. I: Motion andMotion Systems; Vol. II: Weatherand Weather Systems. By SverrePetterssen, Professor of Meteorology,McGraw-Hill Book Co., 1956. Pp'xix, 428; xii, 266 plus 7 maps in pocket$8.50In the language of medicine, thisbook probably would be called"Diagnosis and Prognosis of theWeather." The earth's atmosphere isa completely uncooperative patientand, despite recent claims, its chronicailment — the weather — can only becontrolled in a crude and entirelylocal manner.This is a book for advanced sciencestudents who, undismayed by thecomplexities of atmospheric motionsand adjustments, are preparing tobecome analysists or forecasters, orperhaps research workers in problemsfundamental to these two occupations. It makes liberal use of themathematics and physics required fora thorough understanding of atmospheric processes.The author would be rated by mostmeteorologists as the best qualified ofanyone in the world to write on thesubject he has chosen. At the University of Chicago he directs theWeather Forecasting Research Center, located in the remodeled residence of the late Vice-PresidentWoodward at 5730 Woodlawn. Operated in conjunction with this Centeris the U. S. Weather Bureau officewhich makes the general forecasts forthe North Central States and the airways forecasts for the air routesradiating from Chicago. A Norwegianby birth and a naturalized American,Sverre Petterssen is one of the groupof Scandinavian scientists who, between wars, developed the "Norwegian school" of meteorology whichled the way to modern scientific meteorology throughout the world. Hewas for some years Chief of the Norwegian Weather Forecasting Service.In this country he has served asChairman of the Department of Meteorology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and as Director ofScientific Services in the U. S. AirForce Weather Service.There have been great strides inmeteorology since Petterssen's firstedition was published in 1940. It isnot surprising, then, that the second26 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEedition bears little resemblance tothe first. The division into two volumes is practical and convenient. Itis probable that the material of thetwo volumes can be covered in twoseparate courses. The separate volumes also emphasize forcibly the twoseparate steps in forecasting, namely,the forecasting of the flow patternand the forecasting of the resultingweather distributions. A perfectprognostic map does not necessarilylead to a perfect delineation of thecloudy and rainy areas.The first volume deals with theatmosphere from the point of viewof analysis and prediction of its motions. The flow pattern is derivedfrom this analysis and it is the flowpattern that determines the futureactions of the weather. The authoris not concerned with the total ormean flow but mainly with the disturbances in the mean. The "highs"and "lows" or anticyclones and cyclones as seen at the surface of theearth are the obvious purveyors offair and foul weather. But a surveyof Petterssen's first volume will showthat the earth-bound barometer orthe newspaper and television weathermaps are as outdated as the model T.The disturbances are predictablemainly from conditions in the upperair. The author masterfully bringsmathematical order out of what atfirst sight appears to be a chaotic setof processes.The equations describing theseprocesses are derived mainly fromhydrodynamics and thermodynamics.There are two features in them whichthe physicist or applied mathematician seldom encounters. One is thatthe whole system is rotating about anaxis that is not vertical except atthe poles. The other is that an entirely open system is dealt with;there are no walls, channels, pistonsor pumps. Only the surface of theearth serves as a boundary. Thesetwo characteristics must be recognized and understood by the beginning student of meteorology.For the more advanced student towhom the author is addressing thesevolumes, a number of principles offluid mechanics are invoked. Fundamental among these are three conservation laws, namely, conservationof mass, of momentum and of spin.The concept of conservation of massis in agreement with common experience. It requires that what goesinto a volume must also come outor be compressed inside. In the conservation of momentum, meteorologists are concerned with angular momentum. Every physics student knows what happens when he whirlsa weight around on the end of astring and lets the string wind uparound his finger. The weight speedsup its whirling as the string getsshorter because of conservation ofangular momentum. No one but afigure skater performing gyrations onan ice-coated rotating turntable couldexperience the sensation of conservation of spin as it affects air flowingover the rotating earth.Putting all the forces together in agravitational field on a rotating planetwith heat sources and sinks leads tosome beautiful mathematics, and thewonder of it is that equations forweather prediction are achieved. Lestone get the impression that weatherforecasting is an exact science, theauthor makes it clear that these beautiful equations can only be appliedroughly to the atmosphere. The difficulty lies in the fact that insufficientinformation is available. For example, there is no way of obtainingsynoptic observations of vertical motions, which are important terms inthe equations.Actual numerical computation ofthe next day's flow pattern is nowan accomplished fact in meteorology,thanks to the development of thehigh-speed digital computing giants.A chapter on this technique is included in the first volume. Its authoris Arnt Eliassen of Oslo Universitywho, jointly with Jule G. Charney ofthe Institute for Advanced Study inPrinceton, received the MeisingerAward of the American Meteorological Society for developing the numerical methods. Petterssen's second, much smallervolume, deals with the thermodynamics of the atmosphere and in particular with the water vapor, condensed water and ice. This meansclouds, fog, rain, thunderstorms,squall lines, mountain effects and allaspects of prediction of these phenomena. Here Petterssen includes hisown original work on fogs, convectionprocesses and precipitation forecasting. Other Chicago work receivesmuch attention, such as the thunderstorm and cloud physics work of thisreviewer and Roscoe R. Braham, Jr.,of the Department of Meteorology.Also the excellent small-scale analyses of squall lines, tornadoes and related weather systems carried out byTetsuya Fujita, visiting Professor andResearch Associate in the Departmentof Meteorology, are reproduced.The book ends with two chapterson objective or statistical methods ofweather prediction. The last chapteris written by Thomas F. Malone,Director of The Travelers WeatherResearch Center, Hartford, Conn.Malone, in dealing with the problemof integrating the equations describing atmospheric processes argues that"in our climatological records wehave available continuous solutions tothis problem which have been carriedout with great accuracy by the atmosphere itself." This is an interestingthought, and Malone proceeds to develop a system of forecasting basedon it.Taken as a whole, Petterssen'stwo -volume book is a fairly heavydose, but it will have a salutory effecton the science of meteorology. Itwill do much to stabilize the scienceon its sometimes faltering pathtoward more exact solutions of theforecasting problem. It is, in short,a top-notch book.Horace R. ByersProfessor and ChairmanDepartment of MeteorologyThe Peyote Religion. A Study in In*dian-White Relations. By J. S. Slot-kin, Associate Professor and ResearchAssociate, Center for Economic Development and Cultural Change. TheFree Press, Glencoe, III, 1956. 195 pp.$4.00.The striking distinction between thehistorical status of Indian and whiteAmerican sub-cultures is that the latter groups freely sought the Americanshore to join in the great melting potwhereas the indigenous Americanswere overrun by intruders. The history of American Indian societiessince then has been one of attritionand extermination, with, as Mr. Slot-NOVEMBER, 1956 27kin tersely puts it, "...an unofficialpolicy of genocide ..." from the earliest times to the latter part of the lastcentury. This was succeeded by a policyof segregation and confinement to thereservations and finally by forced assimilation, the policy pursued by theBureau of Indian Affairs — except forthe brief interlude under Collier —down to the present day.If most Americans have been lessconcerned with the extinction ofIndian cultures than with the demiseof the whooping crane, I suggest it isdue less to callousness than to thispervasive idea of the melting pot asan ideal, and an unfamiliarity or uneasiness with alternatives to theAmerican goal of uniformity. We havenot known what to do for Indianminorities aside from giving them opportunities to become like otherAmericans, and they are not satisfiedto be molded to another's image. Thefact that Indian population on thereservations is increasing shows thatthe problem is very much with us.This book records one of the attempts of Plains Indian cultures toreadjust and preserve some ethnicidentity. Slotkin presents a conciseand well -documented source book onboth the Pan-Indian religion of peyo-tism and the background of Indian-white relations, especially in theirmore formalized and legal aspects,against which the movement developed. As the sub-title presages, thestudy is oriented toward an interpretation of peyotism as a mode of Indianreadjustment, first appearing in thelate nineteenth -century. It is seen bySlotkin as a relatively successfuladaptation where a militant form ofopposition such as the Ghost Dancemovement failed. The author isparticularly well qualified for thisstudy not only because of the extensive research he has devoted to thismovement but also because he is inthe unique position of being an electedofficial in the organization.Now incorporated internationally(in the United States and Canada) asthe Native American Church, and including groups from many tribes, thereligion diffused rapidly at the turnof the century, probably, in Mr. Slot-kin's estimate, from a center inOklahoma. Despite vigorous opposition from the Indian Bureau itemerged from among many groups"... as the dominant Indian religionand nativistic movement . . . from theRocky Mountains to the Great Lakes."The Church ritual centers about apart of a cactus plant known asmescal or peyote which the participants eat as a sacrament during their ceremonies, and it is this aspect ofthe religion about which controversyhas raged. While the Indian Bureauseems to have resigned itself to themovement since 1934, a number ofstates have laws prohibiting the useof the drug as a narcotic, and in thisconnection Mr. Slotkin marshals anarray of evidence to demonstrate thatit is neither habit-forming nor intoxicating, induces no excitement,stupor or loss of self-control, and infact is physiologically harmless, (aconclusion which my own limitedand weary observations at a twelve -hour peyote ceremony would support). He makes his case that prosecution of the religion is but anotherinfringement on Indian nativisticactivities. If some readers may findmore unsettling than does Slotkin thecharge that Indians mistakenly usethe drug as a medicine, it is a chargemore against the sorry neglect ofIndian health due to the meagerfacilities afforded them rather thanagainst peyote, and the author probably is accurate in stating that it isused for the most part as a last resortwhere both white and Indian medicines have failed.The most stimulating aspects ofSlotkin's presentation are those dealing with the adaptations developedby this Pan-Indian movement to secure its continuance and obtain whitesanction or tolerance, and with itsfunctional role and appeal. At anearly stage of development the cultborrowed increasingly the values, doctrines and paraphernalia of Christianity. More specifically, as described bySlotkin, it borrowed those evinced byfundamentalist missionaries and economically lower class rural whiteswith whom the Indians had most contact. It adopted the belief in the Trinity and made use of the crucifix andBible. It considers itself a Christianreligion and indeed seems to have become one of a somewhat fundamentalist rural type. The organizationevolved into a loose federation with elected officials and meetings afterthe white model. Along with theseoutward gestures of accommodationthe religion nevertheless provided, bythe nature of its ritual, for the internalization of spiritual values so necessary for individuals from stronglytradition- bound cultures. Plains Indian societies changed more rapidlythan did Indian character or personality types.Central in the spiritual development of the Indian youth was theexperience of the vision- quest, inwhich one went out alone to seekspiritual guidance, and central in thepeyote ceremony is this vision experience which the drug apparentlyinduces. While the religious experience of each member is exclusiveand private, the sense of communityand ethnic identity among the participants fills a needed social role, andstress laid on precepts for daily living,such as avoidance of alcoholism,steadiness in work, etc., provide firmguideposts for the disoriented. Thuswithin the Peyote Church one couldreconcile or combine values and symbols from two cultures. Slotkin givesan extensive and thoughtful list ofsuch factors contributing to the success of the movement, although hisdiscussion is limited by the scope ofthe work.This phenomenon of Pan-Indianismsuggests to me an interpretation interms of Riesman's social characteror personality types. Outwardly theorganization makes a politic gestureor concession to "other-directedness,"to contemporary non-Indian valueswhile preserving internally an inner-directed ethic for the individual morein consonance with the traditionalIndian way. While most Indian societies imposed values rather strictly,those values were early inculcatedinto an "inner-gyroscope" for eachindividual, and while one was judgedby one's peers — and, in fact, publicopinion was the most powerful authority — those judgments were traditional rather than pragmatic, andcharacterized by a high degree of uniformity and consensus throughout theculture. Thus these societies appear,relative to our own, to have fosteredstrongly inner-directed personalitytypes. ,In addition to valuable material onpeyotism, then, Slotkin has given usa provocative study in social adaptation. While some might prefer astraight descriptive style to the complex organization, under headings andsubheadings, that he chose to employ,the present form admits of easyreference by the reader as well as28 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEaffording the author a compact means0f presenting a large body of data.Marie L.

Pp. 320. $8.00.Interdisciplinary collaboration seemsto be more difficult among behavioralscientists than among scientists whoemphasize other aspects of the humanorganism. The difficulty stems in partfrom the relative paucity of tangibledata in the behavioral fields and theconsequent greater diversities of theoretical approach. Anxiety and Stressis primarily significant, therefore, asevidence of the capacity of the research team at the Psychosomatic andPsychiatric Institute of Michael ReeseHospital under the direction of Dr.Roy R. Grinker to overcome theproblems of interdisciplinary collaboration.This monograph is, in a sense, anintroduction to broader investigationsinto the subject of anxiety now inprogress at Michael Reese Hospital.It reports a group of studies of thepsychological, physiological and biochemical responses of American airmen to the stress of paratroop training. Dr. Basowitz and his associateschose paratroop training in the beliefthat it would provide a relativelyconstant source of anxiety to a sig^nificant sample of subjects undercontrolled conditions. As in most attempts to isolate and study specificemotional phenomena, individual differences in response to the total situation obscured the results to someextent, and reaffirmed the complexityof the human organism. The authors,pointing out that the "gain from thework has been less in increasing ourknowledge of the details of psychosomatic problems and more in learning the complexities of psychosomaticorganization and integration," haverendered significant service to all investigators in the behavioral sciencefields.C.

Yet it'shidden everywhere— in sand, rocks, clays and soils, andeven in amethyst and many other semiprecious stones.In fact, of all the elements, silicon is second only to oxygen in abundance.Modern science has made silicon one of our mostversatile and useful servants, but at the same time hasfollowed nature's pattern of keeping it out of sight.You can't see the silicon in metals, but steel is stronger and more uniform when it contains small amounts ofsilicon. Larger amounts of silicon are added to steelused in generators and transformers, and in motors thatbring us the magic of electricity. Silicon adds to the usefulness of aluminum in many important applications. For many years, the people of Union Carbide havebeen extracting silicon from its hiding places in naturefor use in metal-making. And now they are workingwith silicon's exciting chemical offspring— silicones,used for everything from improved furniture polishesto new rubber-like products.STUDENTS AND STUDENT ADVISORS: Learn more about careeropportunities with Union Carbide in Alloys, Carbons.ChemicalS,Gases, and Plastics.
