Smith '37FEBRUARY, 1959 1on Education" for a Hammond Kiwanisluncheon.Dick, who suspects that high schoolEnglish, history, plane geometry, algebra,science and foreign language are beingshort changed with the 141 subjects beingtaught in 274 different courses among thenation's high schools, exposed his findings.Courses for credit in:• Baby Sitting• Home economics, taken by 26,490 boys.• Bachelor Living for 1 1th and 12th gradeboys.• Fundamentals of Homemaking includinghow to operate automatic washers (in aNew Jersey high school)• A girls' Enrichment Program includingexamining market produce and interviewing boys on what they like and dislike about girls.• Public Entertainment — students at 25Wyoming high schools took the day offto attend a cheerleaders' clinic.• Good taste for choosing TV programs(in New York City)• Home and Family Living — required in7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th grades; sampletopics: Clicking with the Crowd; Howto be Liked; Caring for my Bedroom;Developing School Spirit.Apparently few if any of these featuresapply to the Bayless District schools insouth St. Louis County where superintendent of schools is Hugo E. Beck, AB'38, AM '44.A recent two-page picture spread in thePost-Dispatch praises his operation: 1600pupils; a million-dollar budget ($47 perpupil less than the county-wide average);extracurricular activities which must haveeducational value. Beck says, "Our job isnot to be social director for the community." With 74 teachers and 12 years in thejob, Beck estimates he knows three-fourthsof the pupils by name.Aspirin — or a free sampleShe looks into a microscope and changessomeone's life with three words — or four:"This is not cancer!"This was the dramatic introduction to arecent story by Lois Wille in the ChicagoDaily News. The story was about EleanorM. Humphreys, retiring professor of pathology at the University.Although Dr. Humphreys disapproves ofsuch unqualified dramatic statements, foryears it actually has been her responsibilityto examine tissue during the operation and,within minutes, return her findings to theoperating room.The Senior students of 1952, in theirannual revue, put it to music which began:// the diagnosis ever stands in doubt,Just as soon as they can get the sections outUp the stairs they run with hopePut it 'neath the miscroscopeAnd here's the name that you hear themshout:Eleanor, Eleanor . . .Lois Wille caught the modest, friendlypersonality of Dr. Humphreys when Loiswrote :Dr. Humphreys and. her trained eyeshave been making [critical] decisions at Billings Hospital since 1927 .. . Recentlythe American Medical Women's Association gave her its top award: Woman-of-the-Year."You have excelled in one of the mostresponsible medical and teaching positionsin the nation," the citation read. To whichDr. Humphreys replies: "They exaggerate."[Originally from Vermont], she describes her work with a masterpiece ofNew England understatement: "Well, 1guess I do have to be on my toes." That'sabout as much as you'll get Eleanor Humphreys to say about her job. She gets abigger kick chatting about all the thingsshe insists she can't do."Couldn't prescribe a pill if my lifedepended on it. Whenever"! take medicineit's either aspirin or seme free sample."According to campus legend the light inDr. Humphreys' lab always burns until 2or 3 A.M. "That's true," she admits, "butnot because I work so hard. I just talk toomuch during the day."Her students say she runs an "opendoor" laboratory. One said, "She tries to betough but she isn't. She's the greatest."Eleanor . . . till 2 or 3 A.M.This opinion must be unanimous. Uponher retirement, 250 former students andfriends staged a party in her honor at theSheraton-Blackstone; presented her with abound volume of 365 letters from formerstudents; and announced that over 700 hadhelped to establish The Eleanor M. Humphreys Loan Fund with an amount approaching $20,000.Friends came from miles and miles tohonor Eleanor at the party. Mary HirschlSwanberg, MD '46, hired a baby sitter forthe children and flew in from San Francisco while Dr. Charles E.

This program willbe developed by the Chicago Commission on Youth Welfare. Selection for the nineteen-member commission of civicleaders with a record of accomplishment in related fieldsis now proceeding. A first year's budget of $250,000,recognized as being "only a beginning," has been allocatedand a nation-wide recruiting campaign is being conductedin search of the best-qualified person available to serve asCommission director.Of particular interest to the University of Chicago, itsalumni, and to fellow "Hyde Parkers" is the fact that thisnew program will establish in areas throughout the cityservices closely resembling those developed on an experimental basis during the last three years by the Hyde ParkYouth Project. The Hyde Park Project which was administered by the Welfare Council of Metropolitan Chicagoand financed by the Wieboldt Foundation, had the University as an active "silent partner" in its activities. Consultation on the development of its program was providedby the staff of the School of Social Service Administration.The research center of the School is carrying out analysisof some aspects of the Project's operation and the University both made available to the Project, office facilitiesat nominal cost and provided a grant of funds to the HydePark Neighborhood Club which worked in partnershipwith the Project with adolescent street gangs.The Project was the first Chicago attempt to developa program bringing together all available community resources to identify and provide help for children either inthe early stages of or endangered by delinquency. It testedmethods of working with the delinquent street gang; andhelped members of the community mobilize their effortsto combat community conditions productive of deliquency.The acceptance by the city government of responsibilityfor delinquency control through the new Chicago Commission on Youth Welfare is a significant departure frompast concepts of city responsibility. It develops out ofgrowing recognition that this social illness represents amajor problem in contemporary American life. While wehave no way of accurately measuring the number of youngpeople engaging in serious misbehavior, we do know thatduring 1957 over half a million American youngsterswere dealt with as delinquents by our juvenile courts.Some one and one-half million were arrested by police.During any one year, between two and three percent of allchildren in the United States between the ages of ten andseventeen will be known to our police and courts. In somecommunities within large metropolitan areas such as Chicago, as many as seventeen boys out of every hundred will,during the time they are between the years of ten andseventeen, be referred to our courts.Alarmingly, these figures on arrests and court referralsBy Charles H. Shireman, assistant professor inSchool of Social Service Administration, consultanton Chicago Commission on Youth Welfare andformerly director of Hyde Park Youth Project zoom upward every year. In 1958 they were approximatelyone hundred percent greater than in 1956 — and only nineteen percent of this increase could be attributed to population increments in the age groups concerned. True, a partof this upward trend may represent a statistical illusionresulting from better reporting of arrests or court referrals.However, the fact that in all probability only a small percentage of the delinquent acts of children are reported atall makes the problem even more alarming. Debate over thequestion as to whether or not reported statistical rates areprecisely accurate is probably futile. Much more importantis the fact that the problem is a huge one and one for whichno really adequate solutions have yet been developed.i\.LSO BECOMING CLEAR is the fact that juvenile delinquency can no longer be considered a phenomenon peculiar to the deprived slum or near-slum area of the urbanmetropolis. True, rates are still highest in these areas. Inthem are to be found the major threats from anti-socialstreet gangs and the community areas in which behaviourseen as delinquent by broader society seems to become analmost normal way of life. However, the reported increasein arrests and court referrals is most rapid in the suburbsand in the towns of 25,000 or less. This is hard to explain,particularly when one considers the large number of situations in which the anti-social behaviour of the youngstersfrom a stable, middle-class community may be dealt withby a referral to a psychiatrist or mental hygiene clinic or aboarding school —or simply "hushed up." In such situations no police record at all may be made. Apparently,however, no community can long expect to remain immunefrom this aspect of modern life that to some degree touchesus all. th „ -The cost to society that this social illness creates isprobably greater than that occasioned by heart disease orpolio or any of the other dramatic physical illnesses strikingchildren. The care of one youngster in a correctionalinstitution will usually run to more than $2,500 a year.When we add to this the loss resulting from depredations,and the costs of police, court, probation and parole servicesit becomes clear that one protracted delinquent career caneasily result in the social expenditure of as much as $25,000.Multiply this several thousandfold, and add to it the wastage of lives of children doomed to a lifetime of maladjustment, and the human suffering and misery of children andfamilies and the dimensions of the problem begin to revealthemselves.Perhaps of even greater concern is the question ofresponsibility for the creation of delinquency. Is the apparently growing number of socially sick children a symptom of sickness within society itself? Is our society increasingly failing to meet the needs of the young peoplewho are to be its future citizens?This consideration becomes more pressing as the natureof a great proportion of the delinquent acts of young peopleis examined. In them one is repeatedly struck by a component of seeming malice, hostility and aggression. Insteadof the delinquent act being committed as a means of acquiring possession and use of objects of wealth, as is usuallybelieved, goods are stolen, briefly used or abused andtossed aside. The theft itself, rather than utilitarian gain,4 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEA problem to his family andcommunity, the delinquent is nowbeing helped by a Chicagoproject in which the University iscooperating through SSA.seems to be the motivating factor. Even more clearly expressive of hostile rebellion are vicious attacks upon citizens, wanton destruction such as school vandalism, andinter-gang warfare. In addition, there are the huge numberof more minor aggressive acts, admirably symbolized bythe classic instance of a youngster carefully planning andutilizing an opportunity to urinate on a policeman.The term "delinquency," when closely examined, becomes almost meaningless. The group of youngsters, apparently in most ways meeting fairly with the demands ofsocial living, who during the course of a Sunday hike,pillage and destroy the crop of a couple of cherry trees are"delinquents." So is the timid, withdrawn, emotionally illboy who simply can't face schools, truants repeatedly andfinally runs away from home. So also is the rejected girlwho knows little love within her home and reaches fortokens of affection in illicit sex experience, and the groupof teen-agers who coldly plan and carry out a series ofstrippings of autos and then sell the stolen goods. Oneauthority has likened the term "delinquency" to the "bellyache" seen by the physician, possibly arising from a widerange of factors, some serious and others trivial. Delinquency, like "belly-ache" is perhaps not to be treated asa disease entity itself, but to be considered as a symptomof an underlying illness requiring diagnosis and treatment.JLJ ITERALLY DOZENS of factors have been suggestedas "the" underlying cause of delinquency — factors rangingall the way from the use of alcohol and dissemination ofcomic books to the supposed weakened moral fibre ofAmerican life. It is becoming clear, however, that delinquency must be seen as stemming from a complex network of interrelated influences and forces.We know that almost no child is born to be delinquent.The biological heredity of the delinquent group seems inno essential way to be markedly different from that of across section of the population. But every child is subjectfrom birth on to a series of influences and forces that seemto make for social adjustment or maladjustment.A major influence is the child's family. We know thatthe child who is loved and wanted and respected; whoreceives firm but loving discipline that sets reasonablelimits upon behavior and yet encourages development ofself-control and whose parents teach good citizenship byconsistently being good citizens, will have little need tobecome delinquent.We also know, however, that not all homes can conferthese blessings upon children. Many are broken by death,divorce or desertion and many others are ridden by domestic dissension and discord. Many parents are themselvesimmature, in conflict with social standards, or engrossedby their own unsolved life problems. Often such familiesFEBRUARY, 1959 can not adequately provide for the physical, emotionaland spiritual needs of their children. Youngsters thus deprived may express their fears, resentments and rebellionin the form of delinquency.But not all delinquency is traceable to family failure —and even if it were we would have to look to broader societyfor many of the causes of family breakdown.We live in a world of increasing mobility, industrialization, and urbanization. Large numbers of newcomers aredrawn to the city in ever-increasing numbers and forcedby economic conditions, racial discrimination and relatedfactors to settle in the transitional areas of deprivation andhigh mobility. They encounter previously unexperiencedproblems of child-raising and personal relationships forwhich their former way of life has ill-prepared them. Feeling themselves "different," set apart and looked down upon,such persons experience resentment of the middle-classsociety and institutions that endeavor to dictate their wayof life but do not fully accept them. Relationships with thechurch, school and other social institutions are weakened.Children are exposed to a confused welter of cultural5standards and values and experience difficulty in identifyingwith any of them. Youngsters see their parents as beingonly marginally adjusted to broader society, can not acceptthem as models for their own future lives and drift awayfrom familial control. Long exposure to discrimination orsegregation on the basis of membership in a racial, ethnicor economic group aggravates feeling of resentment andproduces growing fears of lack of personal worth andinability to compete.The dominant concept of the "American way of life" isexemplified by successful attainment of material wealth.Together with this goes our emphasis upon individualresponsibility for success or failure. Yet large groups inour population are grossly handicapped by reason of social,racial, educational or other barriers in the competitivestruggle for success. Again, frustration, a sense of failureand the feeling of a lack of personal worth combine toproduce feelings of resentment and rebellion. Delinquency,then, is often only a symptom of such underlying attitudes,and its hostile, aggressive character become understandablewhen it is so seen.If delinquency is seen from a perspective as broad asthis, the task of its control becomes a complicated one,indeed. The indiscriminate adoption of a policy of moresevere punishment of either the delinquent or his familymay merely exacerbate the hostility and sense of apartnessfrom the broader society and its values that produce delinquent behavior in the first glace. Random provision ofparks and playgrounds will have little effect upon thebasic problems involved.Instead, one of the problems of delinquency control becomes the elimination of social injustice and the provisionof a healthier society. Toward this goal men are constantlystriving. In the meantime, however, we are confronted withthe task of developing methods by which society can intervene between the individual child and family and thedamaging experiences of the world of here and now.This is a major, tremendously complicated, to a largeextent still unsolved problem. An approach to it will behugely expensive. The imperative nature of our seekingsolutions to it are suggested, however, by the commentsmade above on the nature and social cost of the problemconfronting us. The tests of the development of means forthe attainment of this goal is the challenge that was acceptedin a comparatively small way by the Hyde Park YouthProject and now is to be taken up on a broader basis bythe Chicago Commission on Youth Welfare.The Commission's ProgramFirst, the maladjusted children must be identified beforepersonality patterns are too rigidly fixed in a "me againstthe world" pattern. About one-half of the delinquentadolescents in groups studied have given evidence of delinquent traits by the age of eight and nearly ninety percentof them did so by the age of eleven. The school, in particular is in a strategic position to detect the emergence ofsuch symptoms. School personnel, at present, constantlyidentify children who are unable to accept normal demandsfor conformance, who are either seriously and chronicallyrebellious and quarrelsome or withdrawn and inhibited,and who fail to perform up to capacity. The police, socialagency staff members and others are also in a position toidentify children who show signs of future trouble. Muchis being done along these lines right now, but it is notsystematized. Children with problems are "found" — theythrust themselves before our eyes — but they are dealt withon an emergency basis, if at all, and all too often we losetouch with them. •Secondly, the children identified as being in need of help must be provided that help. This is a difficult and demanding task, yet, Hyde Park Youth Project and other experienceindicates that it can be done in a fairly large proportion ofcases. A great number of community institutions andagencies have a role to play in this task. The school teacher,the social worker, the juvenile officer, the minister, thephysician, the recreation worker, all may contribute to it.One of the facts that have become quite clear in recentyears, however, is that at present representatives of each ofthese institutions may know and be concerned about thesame children and families, may have much to offer them,but are handicapped by the fact that they each tend towork in isolation from the others.The Case of JohnExamples of this lack will occur to any practitioner. Onethinks, for instance, of 14-year-old John, referred by alarge city school system to a child guidance program afterlong-growing rebellion at school, fighting, bullying, andincreasingly severe stealing. John was of average intelligence and was enrolled in the seventh grade. One of thereasons for the trouble was clear. John couldn't read. Hecouldn't even go to other parts of the city by bus becausehe couldn't read the bus signs. Behind this problemstretched long years of environmental influences productive of unhappiness and inability to learn. His mother andfather had engaged in violent, explosive controversies sincebefore John's birth. Both wished John well, but in allprobability, had not welcomed his coming into the worldin the first place. Torn by divided loyalties between hismother and father, fearful of losing one or both of them,John had been so tense and upset upon entering school thathe had been unable to invest his energies in the learningprocess. Resultant inability to learn to read made schoola continuous source of frustration and failure. Fearsof his own inadequacy led him to cover up his insecurityby a swaggeringly aggressive attitude and attacks uponclassmates. Finally, John felt rejected by everyone exceptthe street gang to which he drifted, unable to achieve in anyway save in anti-social activities.Inquiry revealed that resources did exist for helping John.An intensive remedial reading program could help preparehim for normal performance in school and society, andhelp him come to awareness that at least minimally acceptable school achievement was possible to him. The servicesof a local community center could be utilized in order toprovide a small group experience under careful and trainedadult supervision so that John could begin to solve some ofhis problems of peer group relations. Most important ofall, a young man case-worker from a family caseworkagency could reach out to John, show him for the first timethat a representative of organized society could understandhim and his behavior and could see him for what he waswith all his weaknesses but still consider him as a humanbeing of worth and dignity who could be helped to solvehis problems. This man, to some degree, helped Johnthink through the reasons behind his behavior. At the sametime, he helped the school, the community center, the police officer concerned with him see and respond to Johnthrough different eyes. The mother and father were concerned about John, and were helped to understand howthey could contribute to meeting his needs. Most of theseresources had been available for years. The missing linkhad been the services in this instance provided by the caseworker, who could help bring together an unrelated complex of potential resources into a coordinated whole andthen help John and his family use them.John's further adjustment is still a question mark. Wewere very late in recognizing his unspoken cry for help.6 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEHopefully we will not always be so late in heeding the criesof his myriad brothers.As was done by the Hyde Park Youth Project, then, theCommission on Youth Welfare plan calls for the establishment within a few local community areas in Chicago — fiveduring the first year and perhaps twenty-five with tenyears — of community service units that would organizewith schools, police, social agencies systematic campaignsfor identifying the child showing himself to be in need ofhelp in his life adjustment. For such children, then, theservice unit would secure or provide diagnostic facilitiesdirected at the provision of a clear picture of the basicproblems contributing to a child's difficulties. Followingthis, the unit worker will develop with the various community institutions involved a plan for joint case treatment, sothat each party will know his own task and know how hisrole relates to that of others important to the life of thechild and family. The Commission's unit worker will serveas the coordinator for this effort, constantly endeavoringto mobilize total available resources for a process of thecommunity's "reaching out" to the child and family.Some children and families will need more intensive professional help than that readily available. Child guidance,family casework and other therapeutic and counseling services are at present stretching their resources to the utmostand are unable to accept any major new burdens withoutconsiderable expansion. Plans for such expansion will haveto be made in the community areas selected for service.This problem will not be solved to satisfaction for a longtime to come, but an organized endeavor to secure bothpublic and voluntary agency funds and personnel for thispurpose must begin at once. Our communities can not longcontinue to ignore the needs of John and his fellows. Ultimately, we must invest money and human resources inorder to help them preventively rather than continuing topay the even larger bill that results from disregarding themuntil we must respond to their attacks by incarceratingthem.Adolescent Street GangsAnother major facet of the Commission on Youth Welfare plan is to be its help in the development of servicesfor the adolescent street gang.In all communities and at all socio-economic levels,may be found informal groupings of young people formedas an outgrowth of youth's need for recognition, acceptanceby peers, a sense of belonging, and progress towards emancipation from the family and eventual maturity. In them,youngsters find support for their growing concepts of themselves as separate identities and opportunities to try thevarious roles which they see themselves as playing in laterlife — the follower or leader, the "tough guy" the conformist, the intellectual, the various types of boy-girl relationships and a variety of others. It has become increasinglyclear in recent years that the adolescent's gang affiliationsare among the major determinants of both his behavior andhis attitudes toward the society in which he lives.However, it has also become clear that particularly in thebig city, high delinquency areas where the street cornergroup of adolescents seems to become a major culturalinstitution, the values of the gang are often in many waysin opposition to those of the larger society about it. Itexpresses and teaches a sort of warfare with conventionalvalues and becomes a major source of hostile, aggressivebehavior that threatens the community, its citizens and theirproperty.Society has met this problem in various ways. Stringentpolice action frequently is necessary, but such action is obviously repressive rather than rehabilitative. Recreationand group work agencies have for years recognized theseriousness of the problem and have often endeavored tosolve it by bringing such groups into their programs. Theseattempts, also, have not been notably successful. Theyoungsters concerned seem to identify such agencies witha society against which they are in rebellion. They mayscorn and remain aloof from the agency program, proveso disruptive that they must be excluded from it, or, casually participate, but remain untouched by the experience.As a result there has emerged in recent years in severalcities such as Chicago, New York, Cleveland, Los Angeles,and Philadelphia, a somewhat different approach to theproblem. A worker is sent out into the street to find thegroup in its usual haunts, to endeavor to achieve a relationship of trust and confidence with it and its members,and to use this relationship as a means of helping the groupre-channel its attitudes and behavior along socially acceptable lines.Such a worker first makes a friendly, non-threateningapproach to the group. He does not invite them to participate in an agency program but tries, first to determine someof the socially acceptable activities that the group wouldlike to engage in such as sports and coed parties and useshis own and the community's resources and meeting placesto help them carry out these activities. As the relationshipexpands, he tries to help the group members gain a pictureof him as a representative of the community, who deeplycares about them and wants to help them get a "fair shake"in life; who sees them as worthwhile persons eventuallycapable of making a positive life adjustment but who isaware of and regrets this anti-social activity; who is himselfa living example of a "right guy" who can and always doeslive by socially acceptable standards.Experience thus far has indicated that such a worker canusually penetrate and form a positive relationship witheven the outwardly "toughest" and most swaggering group.Following such penetration there apparently tends to bea pattern of reduction of group anti-social behavior. Itdoes seem possible to contribute toward the group's meeting the needs of its members in a healthier manner andtoward its developing better relationships with the community's adults.In some communities in Chicago, such street gang orstreet-club work is already in progress. In Hyde Park, forexample, the Hyde Park Neighborhood Club has raisedfunds to continue the program of this nature which itinaugurated almost four years ago in partnership withthe Hyde Park Youth Project. In other communities inwhich the new Commission may operate, it will either haveto develop such activities or assist existing agencies to do so.The Unseen WebThere may have been a time in American life when inmost neighborhoods there was a high degree of homogeneity and stability, when residents were intimately acquainted with each other and re-inforced each other'sstandards and values and when social pressures within theneighborhood were consistent and pervasive enough toproduce relative conformity to the demands for social living. Certainly, however, this was never true in all communities. It seems true today in increasingly few of them.Approximately twenty percent of American familiesmove their homes each year. Particularly in the large city,but increasingly within the suburbs or small towns, familiesare lonely in their crowded surroundings. Youths from thesefamilies are new to, ill-at-ease in and only marginally in-FEBRUARY, 1959 7fluenced by or rebellious against the school, the church,the community center and other standard-giving communityinstitutions. Often the ways of their homes differ markedlyfrom those of society around them, due to the family'sbeing transplanted from a different world, and youths aredetached from the family influences as well. Exposureto a bewildering welter of differing cultural patterns oftenmeans failure to adopt the values of any of them.In spite of these facts, in even the most disorganizedcommunities and neighborhoods, vast resources for thepotential strengthening of community life exist. Fraternalorganizations, social and athletic clubs, women's and churchgroups, trade unions, local political organizations, P.T.A.'sand a variety of other groupings are all interested in thesuccessful integration of youth within the community. Theschool, the church, the law enforcement structure, the community center and the other social agencies are all eagerto help in the process. The great majority of families andindividuals in the communities of which we speak aredesperately concerned about the problem of raising -theirchildren in a confused and baffling world.In most communities, however, these groups and individuals are without leadership in determining the rolesthey could play, and are beset by frustration and futility intrying to determine how they can contribute to the solution of the problems of the neighborhood's children. Noready way exists for the translation of valuable potentialinto action.The neighborhood-based service units to be establishedby the Commission on Youth Welfare cannot depend aloneupon the development of professional services to the individual disturbed child and his family, even if these arebolstered by programs for adolescent street clubs posinga threat to the community. Underlying these efforts andbasic to them will be the assignment of staff persons tosmall areas, perhaps a grammar school district or an eight--to-ten block area, charged with helping local institutionsand citizen leaders identify and solve problems. They willprovide information on experiences of other areas andassist in training volunteer leaders. Such staff memberswill know both the community's residents and the personnel of the institutions serving them, and to help bring themtogether. They will endeavor to start a shared process ofcommunity analysis of the local problems of child rearing,for a community whose citizens are aware of, thinking ofand talking together about such problems tends to be amuch healthier one.Again, this is a comparatively new and experimentalprogram. Some knowledge of the skills needed has beenachieved in recent years, however. It is hoped that throughthis approach there can to some degree be re-created inthe urban setting the interwoven, unseen web of communitylife that can, without prying into their lives, give familiesthe security of belonging, the feel of how to cope with theirproblems in the complex of city life. The bringing of suchnew richness to problem neighborhoods may ultimately bethe most fundamental of the many suggested answers tothe problem of juvenile delinquency.The program that the new Commission has outlined foritself is staggering in its complexity. A start will be madesoon, but the developmental process will be long. Manyfailures will be experienced along the way, and despite allthat can be done, delinquency will remain a problem for along time to come. In a very real sense, the venture maymeet the requirements of David Burnham's famous stricture: "Make no little plans. They have no magic to stirmen's blood and probably themselves will not be realized.Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, rememberingthat a noble, logical diagram, once recorded, will be aliving thing asserting itself with ever-growing insistency." NEWS OF THE QUAArt and ZoologyRetiring from his position as artistfor the Department of Zoology is anartist who has drawn thousands of worksfor zoology classes and textbooks, is aworld authority on ancient Japaneseart, and has served as advisor to museums in Chicago and New York.Mr. Kenji Toda was asked to join theUniversity of Chicago by its first chairman of the Department of Zoology, thelate Charles Otis Whitman. ProfessorWhitman had worked with two Japaneseartists previously and knew the qualityof their work and their attention to detail. While lecturing at the ImperialUniversity in Tokyo, he sought out Mr.Toda.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEANGLESAt the University of Chicago Mr.Toda first worked on illustrations forWhitman's work on the evolution ofcharacteristics in pigeons, such as thoseon the cover of this MAGAZINE. Inworking with Whitman's successor,Frank & Lillie, he illustrated books onthe development of feathers and thedevelopment of chick embryos.In his 56 years at the University, hisworks have appeared in the Journal ofExperimental Zoology, the AnatomicalRecord, Physiological Zoology, American Naturalist, the Archives of InternalMedicine and such books as VertebrateZoology by Horatio H. Newman andThe Nature of the World and of Manby Warder C. Allee. In addition to his scientific work, Mr.Toda, is an authority on ancient Japanese art and language, and spent 1932-33 at the Imperial Academy of Art inTokyo studying Japanese scroll painting.His book based on these studies waspublished in 1934 by the University ofChicago Press. He also was co-authorwith Lucy Driscoll of Chinese Calligraphy, published by the University Pressin 1935.In 1954 his article on "The Effectof the First Great Impact of WesternCulture in Japan" was published in TheJournal of World History by UNESCO.His latest work, "Japanese ScreenPaintings of the Ninth and Tenth Centuries," will appear early in 1959 in Ars Orientalis, a journal on Oriental art.Mr. Toda has catalogued and annotated such famous Japanese art collections as those in the New York PublicLibrary, the Chicago Natural HistoryMuseum, and the Art Institute of Chicago. His 1931 descriptive catalogue ofthe Japanese and Chinese illustratedbooks in the Ryerson Library of the ArtInstitute of Chicago is considered thebest of its kind in the world, and he isnow helping compile and write descriptions for the Art Institute's second volume of Japanese prints. When he completes this assignment, probably sometime in mid-1959, Mr. Toda plans tosettle in Palo Alto, California.FEBRUARY, 1959 9INT House ServiceEarly in November a student fromYugoslavia arrived in Chicago for special studies in the School of Business.She came to the U.

From Midway Airport a friendly taxi driver tookher to the Windemere Hotel where shesecured a room and subsequenly learnedthat there was an International House atthe University.She went to International House andadvisors there found that she had only$20.00 in her possession which was allthat she had been allowed to take outof Yugoslavia. Naturally, she had expected funds from her sponsor but theletter had not reached her in time toknow where to secure the funds. TheInternational House advisors checkedinto the situation and telephoned herAN THIS YEAR OF ITS fiftieth anniversary, the School of Social ServiceAdministration has set an anniversaryfund goal of half a million dollars.It's been a year of looking back uponthe School's distinguished history, whichincludes such achievements as being thefirst school to offer a PhD in socialservice, publishing the only academicjournal in the field, being the firstschool to organize a research programand establish a research center, andclaiming among its alumni more thanone third of the deans of the nation'ssocial work schools. In addition, amongthe 4,000 alumni of the school who areemployed in leading social agenciesthroughout the world, are alumni inevery important social agency in Chicago, many of which are directed byalumni; the School also maintains anactive program of cooperation withthese agencies, and a field work program operated in cooperation with 45of these local agencies.This has also been a year of plans fordevelopment of the School — planswhich will utilize the fiftieth anniversaryfund — now being sought. Goals includean increase in the student body to helpmeet the serious shortage of socialwork personnel throughout the country,establishment of a training and researchprogram in the field of corrections andjuvenile delinquency (see Charles Shire- sponsor in Washington who explainedthat checks amounting to $500 had beensent to her in care of the University.Apparently the mail containing thechecks had been lost in transit so arrangements were made for the sponsorto issue new checks.

Havingearned his PhD in 1940 from Yale University, with a thesis on the Totonaclanguage of Mexico, Mr. McQuown'smajor interest is in the field of linguistics, and he is an expert on the Turkishlanguage. He spent 1955-56 as a fellowman's article in this issue of the Magazine) , establishment of a program in thearea of group work to train personnelfor local agencies, and expansion of theresearch programs of the School inorder to provide more basic knowledgeand work tools for the social work profession.To date, the School has received threefoundation grants totaling $110,000.Fifty thousand dollars has been givenfor student stipends by the WoodsCharitable Fund. Former president ofthe Welfare Council of MetropolitanChicago, Frank H. Woods, told of hisfamily's belief in the need to recruitmore college graduates for social work;"student stipends are obligatory if thisneed is to be met. Funds available forthis purpose have long been totally inadequate."Both the Wieboldt Foundation ofChicago and the Louis W. and MaudeHill Family Foundation of St. Paul,Minnesota have allocated $30,000 toward a three-year program to developtechniques for social workers to use infighting juvenile delinquency.The fiftieth anniversary fund totalsnearly $450,000 at this point. Othercontributions have included $300,000from the Chicago Community Trust toendow the George Herbert Jones Professorship, and nearly $50,000 fromindividuals and family foundations inChicago. at the Center for Advanced Study in theBehavioral Sciences in Stanford, Calif.Advanced NSF FellowshipsFive LTniversity of Chicago scientistshave been awarded advanced fellowshipsby the National Science Foundation.Of the five, three were among the fortyscientists awarded senior doctoral fellowships in the United States. They areLeo A. Goodman, professor of statisticsand sociology, who will take his year offoreign study provided under the fellowship at the University of London; Norman H. Nachtrieb, professor of chemistry at the Institute for the Study ofMetals, who will go to the PolytechnicInstitute of Milan, Italy; and ValentineL. Telegdi, associate professor of physicsat the Fermi Institute of Nuclear Studies, who will go to the University ofGeneva in Switzerland.The two Chicago faculty memberswho were among the 242 other scientists awarded NSF fellowships are Augustus F. Bausch, assistant professor ofmathematics in the College, and AaronSayvetz, professor of natural sciencesin the College. Rausch will go to Princeton University and Sayvetz to Massachusetts Institute of Technology.Tuition up againGuaranteed a banner headline in theMaroon, is the announcement that effective the summer quarter of this year,tuition will be raised to $960 a year,including the general service fees.This rate will be effective in both theundergraduate and graduate schools,with the exception of the medical andthe divinity schools, which will remainat the same level as in the past. Theincrease amounts to $20.00 more perquarter.Chancellor Kimpton attributed thehike in tuition to the need for increasedfaculty salaries, inflation, and recession.He stated that scholarship aid will increase at the same percentage as tuitionis raised.Cookbooks and scholarshipsWhen the American Daughters ofSweden gave the University of Chicago$16,000 toward a $30,000 endowmentof a scholarship for a young woman ofSwedish descent, the funds came from aunique source. This organization publishes and sells a 180-page cookbook,Swedish Recipes, Old and New, whichcontains among its hundreds of recipesfor Swedish delicacies, 22 different waysto prepare herring.For 27 years, the Swedish-Americangroup has provided funds from its bookand other activities for scholarships atthe University of Chicago. Most recently, freshman student Nathalie M.Ostroot, from Minneapolis, Minnesota,was awarded the scholarship.S.S.A. Goal in Sight10 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE.-***? ? MUMSIX FLIGHTS UP AT THE TOP of the west tower of theHarper Memorial Library of the University, a douhle-doored, room-size steel vault protects an invaluable specialcollection of written records of man's history. Special Collection Curator Robert Rosenthal displayed two yellowed,tattered sheets 17 V4" by 816". "About 158 A.D.," he said.The documents, he explained, are papyrus account books— the business ledgers kept by a farm manager 1,800 yearsago. They were found in 1900 in Northern Egypt, near thesite of the ancient city of Memphis.Edgar J. Goodspeed, Ernest D. Burton DistinguishedService Professor Emeritus, gave the papyri to the Universitycollection. Considered the world's greatest living authority on the New Testament, he said this ancient bookkeepingrecord aided him in learning more about the language ofthe New Testament.The papyri are the earliest written material in the Librarycollection. The vault holds such other valuables as the silver-bound Rockefeller-McCormick New Testament, letters written by Lafayette, and Boccaccio's "Geneology of the Gods."The papyri are similar to 91 papyri grain receipts aboutthe size of a poker chip which were also given the University by Mr. Goodspeed. Mr. Rosenthal said Goodspeed'slatest gifts are "accounts written in Greek which were keptin the form of double entries. They record the cost of processing oil, wine, and grains for market and the incomefrom the sales of these commodities over several months."InternationaResearchTeam ReportsA.N AMERICAN AND an Israeli,Dr. Melvin L. Griem, of the Universityof Chicago, and Dr. Joseph A. Stein,of Hebrew University, Jerusalem, inworking together at the University ofChicago, have used a synthetic hormoneto cut in half x-ray dosages for cancertreatment.The drug is L-triiodothyronine sodium, a test tube version of the chemicalsecreted by the thyroid gland. The doctors gave this drug to 400 rats and miceand two men with lung cancer, and thenexposed the subjects to radiation. Theyreport that the drug promises to reducethe amount of radiation needed in the more successfully treated kinds of cancer and to bring the more stubborncases within the range of radiologicaltreatment.At present, radiation is a potentweapon against cancer of the skin, bone,and throat. But there are many kindsof cancer, including those of the lung,stomach, bone and brain, which presentgreat difficulties for radiation treatment.Inspiration for the Griem-Stein experiments came from a series of animalexperiments conducted in 1956 at theUniversity of Chicago's U.S. Air ForceRadiation Laboratory. The Laboratoryfound that mice were more susceptibleto death by radiation after their metabolism was stepped up by injections ofthyroid extract.As Drs. Griem and Stein also knewthat tissues that are in a stage of growthare especially sensitive to radiation,they designed experiments to establishwhether cancer, which is a growing tissue, could be made even more sensitiveto radiation if its metabolism werestepped up.It was.But it took months of experiments tofind out. They first transplanted two types ofsolid tumor to the legs of 400 animals.In two weeks, after the tumors had"taken," they gave the animals four injections of triiodothyronine. This is alaboratory reproduction of the potentingredient in the natural hormone secreted by the thyroid gland at the baseof the neck. Too much of the hormonewhips the body into a condition knownas hyperthyroidism. Its symptoms areirritability, nervousness, voracious appetite, loss of weight, excessive sweating,and high heart and breathing rates. Toolittle of the hormone causes hypothyroidism and its sluggishness, apathy,and weight gain.After receiving the drug, the cancer-bearing animals displayed all of thesymptoms of hyperthyroidism. Theirleg cancers were then irradiated according to a complicated schedule of radiation doses.Only 103 of the mice and rats survived. The rest either died immediatelyof too much radiation, or later of cancerafter too little radiation. Among the survivors, the tumors disappeared withinfour weeks, Drs. Griem and Stein reported. These animals had been givenFEBRUARY, 1959 11about 500 rads (the rad is a measure ofradiation). Identical tumors in controlmice not given the drug were destroyedonly by doses of 1,000 rads.The triiodothyronine apparently enabled the radiation to kill the cancers inabout one-half the normally requireddose.For the study of human beings, twopatients with a very advanced stage ofcancer of the lung volunteered. Thesynthetic hormone was given to them,by mouth, over a two week period, soas to build up their metabolism slowly.After two weeks of gamma ray treatment from the cobalt machine in Argonne Cancer Research Hospital, theprimary cancers disappeared. The tumormasses had regressed at one third of thedose level (1,500 rads) at which sucha response might ordinarily have beenexpected. The team reported that inone patient, closely observed for threemonths, the cancer failed to reoccur inthe treated area of his lung. As thedisease had advanced in other parts ofthe bodies of the two patients to such adegree that it was too late to save them,they both subsequently died. Extra cancer sites, developed by bitsof the lung cancer, which had brokenaway, called metastases, were also studied. Without the thyroid drug, radiationhad no effect on them.While Dr. Stein has returned to hispost at the Radium Institute of the Hebrew University, Dr. Griem will continue and enlarge the study of this newapproach to radium treatment. He willseek in the laboratory an answer to whya high metabolic rate as induced by thedrug, makes radiation more effective.His and Stein's best guess is that ithas much to do with the amount ofoxygen in the tissues. An English scientist, I. Churchill-Davidson, has shownthat living tissue .with over-abundantstores of oxygen, are extra-sensitive toradiation. . The likely explanation liesin these three facts: Growing tissue usesmore oxygen than does mature tissueand stepped up metabolism increasesstill more the amount of oxygen in growing tissue. Triiodothyronine steps upmetabolism.But as Dr. Griem points out, "We stillhave to prove it."Where the Money Comes From......and Where the Money GoesI T TAKES A LOT OF money to operate the University of Chicago and thisyear expenditures were higher than everbefore in the University's 68-year history. When the fiscal year ended lastJune, total expenditures totaled $89,-898,888. In the same period the incomefor the University was $90,049,556.Included in this figure, however, are$42,734,000 in current expendituresfor four special government researchprojects: the Argonne National Laboratory in Lemont, Illinois, the ChicagoMidway Laboratories, the Institute forAir Weapons Research, and the AirForces System Research Laboratory.This figure, which represents approximately half of the University's budget,represents work that is largely self contained operationally and financially andis not included in the figures which follow, for our campus programs.The income, $47,315,382 is brokendown roughly into the following categories:Income fromPatients * $10,256,780 21.7% United States Government Contracts 9,399,733 19.9Gifts for CurrentOperations 7,652,415 16.2Endowment Income 6,273,880 13.2Student Fees 5,862,985 12.4Expenditures totaled $47,164,714 andwere broken down as follows:Instruction andResearch $30,292,226 64.2%Auxiliary Enterprises 5,115,626 10.8Plant Operations 4,084,080 8.7General Administrationand Expense 2,512,360 5.3Student AM 1,972,365 4.2Staff RetirementExpense 1,204,023 2.6Student Services 1,075,672 2.3Library 908,362 1,9In releasing these figures, John R.Kirkpatrick, the vice-chancellor for administration of the University, notedthat a gross percentage of the expenditures is being devoted to helping studentsdirectly with their college careers. Directstudent aid totaled $1,972,365. The totalstudent aid of all kinds including fellowships, loans, deferred tuition, etc.,amounted to $2,863,7o7. "As tuitionrises in this nation," Mr. Kirkpatricksaid, "the necessity for more and morefinancial assistance to economically needy, but academically qualified students will increase sharply."University comptroller, Donald R.Cartland, gave the following detailed information on gifts, grants and bequests,which totalled $24,856,575. "Thisamount, the highest in the history ofthe University, was $6,675,586 morethan the previous year. Of the total contributions of $24,856,575 received during the year, $17,290,528 was for capital purposes (endowment, plant, etc.).Of the remainder, $6,140,623 was otherwise restricted as to use, while $1,425,-424 was for unrestricted purposes subject to designation by the board oftrustees."Foundations and charitable institutions counted for 26.4 per cent of allcontributions; business corporations andgroups contributed 11.1 percent. Individuals' gifts made up 8 percent of thetotal. Gifts and bequests constituted53.2 percent."Since the incorporation of the University in 1890, the contributions fromall sources aggregated $258,162,309."In a long and thoughtful editorial onthe University's budget, the ChicagoTribune made the following observations.It is always hard to believe thatschools which perforce charge high tuition derive so small part of their necessary income from student payments.Only 12.4 percent of the University'sincome was brought in from student'sfees, yet approximately one-third of thetotal income was spent on direct studentaid.Speaking of the huge government contracts the Tribune, said that the moneyof course is not appropriated for thegeneral purposes of the university butfor some defense or other purposeserved by the research done there.Ideally the work done by academicscientists is of their own choosing forthe interest and advancement of human knowledge. Practically, Chicagoand its sister institutions have to earnmoney where they can.The other resource that everyonethinks of for a private university is endowment income. For the Universityof Chicago this yields slightly morethan student fees, and for the past yearsthese funds earned a very satisfactory6.2 percent of book value. But thisgood yield, for one of the half dozenheavily endowed universities in thecountry, was less than gifts for current operations.The figures for gifts showed morethan 60 percent was from bequestsand individual donations. This figureshows the indispensable role gifts playin enabling the university to balance itsaccounts. Private universities dependupon the generosity of their friends.12 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEThe Cities of AsiaUnique problemsface Asian Citiesaccording to twoUniversity Sociologistsk^INCE THE GRASS FIRE OF revoltagainst colonialism burned across Asiaafter World War II, its cities have beenin trouble. As the imperial governmentsbacked away, they took their businessesand their traditions with them. Noworiental metropolises, as large as theirWestern counterparts, totter on weak —but independent — economic legs.Fifty-three percent of the world's population and one-third of all the world'scity dwellers now live in Asia. By comparison, a seventh of the world's urban-ites live in North America and a fourthin Europe. In the next twenty-five yearsthe populations of Asian cities are likelyto increase a minimum of two-thirdsand may in some instances triple. Thisis too many people — with expectationsof many more- — for the economieswhich so weakly support them.Such problems of Asia, and largerones, this summer attracted two University of Chicago social scientists to aUnited Nations regional planning conference in Tokyo, Japan. Philip M.Hauser is a demographer, professor andchairman of sociology, and directs theUniversity's Population Research andTraining Center and the Chicago Community Inventory on the campus. Nor ton S. Ginsburg is an associate professor of geography whose specialty is EastAsia. This year he published two books,The Pattern of Asia and Malaya.Converging on the problems of bigAsian cities at the Tokyo conferencewere representatives of fourteen international organizations, the United States,Russia, the Netherlands, Iran, GreatBritain, Ceylon, China (Taiwan), HongKong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaya,New Zealand, Pakistan, the Philippines,Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam, andthe Ford and. Asia foundations.Ginsburg attended as a consultant tothe United Nations secretariat; Hauserfor the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population.A working paper for the meeting inTokyo, written by Ginsburg, referredto Bangkok as a prototype Asian city.It is Thailand's only metropolis. In itlive 90 percent of that nation's urbanpopulation. With over a million persons,it is fifteen times — or more — largerthan Thailand's number-two city. Thetotal metropolitan region of Bangkok-,in many respects, is all of Thailand. liithe Asian tradition of compact cities(which does not include sprawlingTokyo), Bangkok is comparativelyspread out: it takes only two hours orless to walk from one end of the cityto the other. The centrifugal effect ofthe automobile has yet to make itsmark: at the city limits the country begins abruptly; there are no suburbs orsatellite towns. Land is not separatedby industrial, commercial, and residential uses. The population is in a constant turnover, with immigration aheadof emigration. The perennially underemployed population is a potentialsource of political ferment and unrest.The conclusion of the conference,both U-C guests agreed, was that, insolving the problems of its cities, eachnation must travel its own lonely road."The West has little to offer in experience," Hauser explained. "In the UnitedStates and England, under the nourishment of a free-market system, the citiesjust grew. They were not planned. InAsia, however, the cities developed in acolonial heritage upon an economic basecreated by the mother countries."The Russians, of course, have rigidly planned their society and economy sincetheir revolution, both men said, andwould be expected to help in Asia. ButRussia also has little to offer these smallAsian countries, unless they acceptcommunism.Even Asian countries cannot offereach other much help, both Hauser andGinsburg said. Japan has been remarkably successful in national planning,even with very limited natural resources.It has lowered its birth rate by birthcontrol and abortion, increased productivity per capita, has large metropolitanplanning programs, and is consideredquite sophisticated. Japan is booming.But Japan's solutions to its nationalproblems, they said, are unique to Japan.Ginsburg said that, apart from RedChina, perhaps the only massive effortat city — not national — planning now being conducted in Asia is in Delhi, India,under a Ford Foundation grant. TheUniversity of Chicago's Bert F. Hoselitz, professor of social sciences and director of the Sjtudies Committee onInternational Relations, was one ofseven American "expert advisers on theproject.For urban Asia's biggest questions,the demographer and the geographerhad these suggestions:Hauser: "The Asians have to workbackward and build an economic baseto justify their cities. They should forget the English : town-and-country ideaof decentralizing to beyond the suburbs."Ginsburg: "One argument expressedat the conference was that each government should restrict the size of its largestcity and, by decentralizing its industries,develop smaller citiesin other parts ofthe country. The opposite course maybe more realistic. These nations shouldinstead invest heavily in their big cities,where the people are or will be."Hauser: "While the large cities ofAsia represent problems, they also represent what are probably each najion'smost valuable asset for economic development. Concentrated here are theworkers, with their attendant specialservices, small businesses, and their needfor jobs.'*Theodore BerlandPublic Relations StaffFEBRUARY, 1959 13Enclosed is myContribution . . .George S. LeisureNew York, New York Frederick Sass, Jr.Chevy Chase, MarylandTALawrence J. MacGregorNorthern New Jersey areaHarold S. LadenPhiladelphia, Pennsylvania _ALK ABOUT BUDGETING forthe University means talk about millions. Last year thirteen million dollarswas raised for the University, and thatwas a million more than the previousyear. That total meant that more alumnicontributed more money than ever before, except in the context of the Campaign. Last year marked the third andfinal year of the Campaign, and it closedquietly, as Chancellor Lawrence A.Kimpton says, "chiefly because we wereunable to make head or tail of theresult."Chancellor Kimpton summed up thethree-year Campaign period in his Stateof the University address as follows:"We set out to raise $32,779,000 overa three-year period, and during this sameperiod $64,655,508 in cash and pledgescame to the University. But — and herewe feel like a child under the lavishChristmas tree completely surroundedby presents, but not the ones he askedfor — the budget is still unbalanced, thebook acquisition program is unfinanced,the law building is not paid for, we donot have a cent for a men's dormitoryor married students' housing, and ourneeds for the neighborhood, includinga new high school, are still unmet."There is a happier side, however; ifwe did not get all of the presents wewanted, we did still get an awful lot ofpresents. Sixty-six per cent of our faculty had salary increases this year of more than $385,000 and seventy-threeper cent will receive increases next yearof over $400,040. In addition to salaryincreases, there are four new endowedprofessorships. Since the last grim austerity year of 1955, the total budget ofthe University has increased seven million dollars, and five million of this hasbeen devoted to instruction and research."Among such millions where does agift such as that which accompaniedthis note fit? "Enclosed is my widow'smite contribution for this year's campaign. I retired on pension and am inbroken health. I wish it were a thousand. Very best wishes to you for success in your work for the Foundation.It really hurts that I am not able tocooperate more effectively, for I believein the Foundation with deep faith."Last year the average alumni gift wasjust under twenty dollars, with almostfifty per cent of the alumni giving between six and twenty-five dollars. Yetthe total of these gifts was $640,507,exclusive of the amounts being paidby donors on their three-year Campaignpledges.The goal for this year is an increaseof ten per cent in gifts and dollars, andalready more communities have organized to raise funds at this time than hadbeen organized at the end of last year'sdrive. In the following list of chairmenof the local drives, fifty per cent areprevious chairmen who have volunteered to serve again.14 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEJohn F.

Commencement Addressby Joshua C. TaylorAssoc. Professor of ArtKnowledge inSearch of a MindI AM GOING TO TALK about ghosts or, at least,specters, since we all seem haunted by one or more ofthem. And because we are resourceful people, most areof our own contrivance.It is not at the moment popular to talk of ghosts andspecters; we have many other terms for them. In themany books and studies recently published on the glamorous industry that finds its spiritual home on NewYork's Madison Avenue, there is constant reference toa bodiless thing known as a "corporate image." This isa spirit formed with purpose. It is a hard won image,evoked in the minds of the public by shrewd advertisingand publicity. The specter of the manufacturer becomes by choice folksy, authoritative, or elegant. Andwe have seen the same calculated raising of phantomsput to work in political campaigns.Throughout the years, quite without the benefit ofadvertising men, slogans, and the prior planning thoughtFEBRUARY, 1959 17necessary for evoking an image in the public mind, theman of learning also has found himself characterized bya "corporate image." The public has taught itself toexpect certain actions, certain kinds of pronouncementsfrom those whom it dubs intellectuals, and it matterslittle what such a person does or says, it is always interpreted in the same way, conveniently removed fromthe realm of ordinary judgments by the efficaciousimage, the abiding specter.A few years ago when an excellent company decidedto reaffirm the quality of Shakespeare's ghost playHamlet by making an expensive moving picture of it,it was thought necessary to apologize somewhat for thecentral character, so unlike the purposeful hero of aWestern, by prefacing the picture with the explanatoryremark that this was the story of a man who could notmake up his mind. Obviously he thought too much, andit was evidently feared that the public would becomeimpatient with his deliberations. The image was notunfamiliar to the public: it was the type who reads andthinks too much about principles and theories and isthus incapable of dealing with the world of "reality." Itfit, in some important ways, the popular conception ofan intellectual.I do not mean to infer that the public does not lookupon the educated man as a useful member of society.He is looked to constantly for information, whether it isa point of history or a fact of science. But he is notlooked to in matters of decision. And this is evidentthroughout the range of public life in the United States,from the Chief Executive to the lowliest local judge.Decisions are based on qualities deemed beyond theintellectual's kin. There is assumed, in other words,encouraged by the "corporate image," a complete separation between knowledge and the uses of the mind.Although we might like to scorn this assumption, I amnot sure that this "corporate image" is as ill-founded,that the ghost is as unbidden, as we should like tosuppose.While it would be comforting to pretend that thisconception of the public, the ghost itself, is of no importance, it has had its effect, not just on the social acceptance of the scholar, but on the attitudes and capacitiesof the intellectual himself. Should he decide to fly fromthe academic nest, the young intellectual finds no ready-made place in our society at large for his eager intellectand liberally educated mind. Suspect in politics, distrusted in the camaraderie of business, a man devotedto the restless enquiry of education may find himselfalone unless he is willing to make some major concessions. His attention is thus called to his intellectualcapacity, to his education, and he becomes ^//-consciousin an anonymous society.As a parenthesis, I must reject the idea of some educationists that this is a failure of the academic curriculum, which should have been designed around "real lifeproblems" to be "education for life." What such pro grams have succeeded in doing, in undermining the intellectual strength of our education, is to prove that theschool can grow in a hot house, products which areidentical with those that might be grown under normalconditions in the open air. And the image of whateducation is worth becomes still vaguer.If we may judge from much current writing on thesubject, the society of which the young person must become a part offers only the possibility of two extremes— it's a modern mania to think of everything in termsof two extremes. These might best be summarized asthe beat and the replete. Either he must be absorbedinto the cushy joys of a life so full of things that thinking outside of working hours is an anti-social menace,or be equally absorbed into the mannerisms of conventional forms of negation. In other words, either hesmother his self-consciousness, or prod it enthusiastically like a sore tooth. Neither direction would seemencouraging to a creative mind.Over the past few years we have watched the growthof a new and ferocious aggressiveness in the acquisitionof things. Educated by the persuasive efforts of a skilledbattery of experts — who once were called scornfullysimply salesmen — we are encouraged to believe that allthings including culture can be purchased by the pound.The "thinking man" has a cigarette filter, and the "intellectual look" (this is all post-Sputnick) is applied toanything from a dress to a radio cabinet. Whether it isthe incomprehensible abstraction of modern painting orthe complexities of electronic research, the idea persiststhat if you can't lick it intellectually you can buy it. Participation is the expenditure of money, not of thought.On the other hand, and presumably in reaction to thefirst, we have the new version of the "happy savage":the man who uses his mind to negate itself. The newEden he would create is without* conscience, not byvirtue of innocence but by an act of will. The acquisition of ignorance becomes a compulsive social goal.Spurning the material assets of suburbia, terrorized bythe daily communion of a small town, these self-conscious negators of self resort to the sootiest reachesof urbanity in a barren flat, taking solace in the fact thatthey can scarcely make ends meet — from one Fulbrightcheck to the next. Every so often a person is found whomakes music without knowing anything about music, orwrites poetry without knowing anything about poetry,and we are told that a renaissance is at hand.Satisfaction with either of these bizarre extremes iscertainly an admission of failure for the educated man.In either, once he has chosen his sphere, he has relinquished the privilege of making up his mind. But at justwhat point does the failure occur? The possession ofgoods is by no means necessarily a bar to intellectualactivity. On the contrary, the arts and sciences haveflourished in periods of wealth. The constantly evokedbogy of a decadent bourgeoisie that makes allowable allmanner of self-righteous pessimism and gloom cannotbe justly identified as the true corrupter.18 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINErgihe basic error is to believe in the necessary existenceA of these two opposing specters, of these socialimages themselves. Throughout our education we havecome to look upon groups in society or large bodies ofknowledge in terms of schemes. There is nothing wrongwith this in itself; in fact, it is necessary for comprehension. To keep from floundering in the information weamass we are forced to organize it in terms of more andmore remote abstraction, whether it is in the physicalsciences, in the study of society, or even in our study ofthe arts. In our concern for the large and impressivetruths of the whole, we sometimes lose contact with therelationship between the whole and the part, or beginto look upon the part as only a fragmentation of thewhole. More seriously, especially in the Humanities andthe Social Sciences, we forget that it is with the partthat we have immediate contact, that the part must beour primary concern no matter how far our powers ofgeneralization travel. We are the part.Our forgetfulness is not by chance. It is comfortableto use knowledge as an escape from ourselves. Whilewe debate the responsibilities of societies, we neglect thehomely obligations that are our own. The search foranonymity in study is not far different from being lostin a suburb or in a Left Bank bistro. To such searchersthe electronic brain might seem an idea: it holds everything in its head, it calculates in a flash, and it is incapable of seeing itself in operation.Overwhelmed by the extent of our knowledge of themind, of society, of the world, of the universe, impressed by the impersonal specter of knowledge itself,we resign our self-determination and quietly follow theclosest group. "I think," once the boast of the philosophic man, has been replaced with "we have come tothe conclusion that . . ." Looking upon society in ourhabitual mode of abstraction, we sense too readily aninevitability that would thwart the powers of our mind.Before the battle has begun we join or rebel, losing ourselves needlessly.The impersonality of knowledge has made possiblean effective protective coloring for the intellectual in asuspicious society. It has made it possible for him toseparate his personal life from what he knows: what heknows professionally and what he does privately needhave nothing to do with one another. And it is astonishing how hard some work to maintain this intellectualschizophrenia. Their success depends on maintainingknowledge in the realm of abstraction — where you cantalk endlessly about it — and letting action take care ofitself.If cornered, forced to face an intellectual decision inother than his protected professional world, the man ofwit can find a variety of escapes. In a helpful frame ofmind I have gathered a number of these into a usefulhandbook — teaching in the College has given me a devotion to handbooks — which I call "The Intellectual'sGuide, or How to Keep from Making Up Your Mind." I have time to note only a few. Some may be familiarto you.One very handy out is to fall back on the irrefutablestatement, "There are two sides to every question," andlet the matter drop. Certainly there are two sides, andwe hope that education makes one aware of many more.But the still, small voice of intellectual conscience mightnote that in spite of the fact that you can recognize withadmirable objectivity the various sides to a question,you have still to choose one which will determine thecourse of your action, and you might devote some timeto just how you choose it. In a time of prejudice andbias we have struggled hard to promote a tolerance ofmind. But tolerance of all must not result in the negation of every one. And there are some things that theactive mind should not tolerate, such as willful ignorance . . . and indecision itself.Another extremely useful phrase that carries a magnificent overtone of superior education, yet commits onenot at all, is "de gustibus non disputandum," commonlytranslated as "you have no taste worth talking about."It has elsewhere been pointed out, however, that thereis nothing on earth more subject to fruitful dispute thantaste. What else can you argue about? Certainly notfacts. And only by continually questioning our tastes dowe learn, do we savor the special qualities of our experience. But it is sometimes difficult to face the fact thatin this questioning, the same intellectual faculties mustbe brought into play, the same open-mindedness, as inthe sacrosanct field of our special learning; or else wehave betrayed our minds.For some, who have been made aware of the manypossibilities of choice, the difficulty is to admit that theyhave any taste. I have noticed this in the field of the Humanities. People who have spent years acquiring andrefining their knowledge of profound human communication can crumble the first time an aggressive laymanaccuses him of having a positive preference. A redblooded young humanist is likely to break into the crudest language he knows just to prove that he has no tasteat all. And then there is the case of the scientist whocultivates with care the vocabulary of a truck driver tohide the fact, from others and most especially from himself, that his mind is capable of refined distinctions outside his own field. "It's out of my line," he says, andputs it also out of his mind. Many hold the theory thatthey'd rather be right, and they wait until the expertgives them the nod. But to have no opinion of yourown is to be neither right nor wrong — nor even to be.Skipping over such useful escape hatches from responsibility as "it's the effect of the environment" or "asFreud says . . ." there is that recurrent modern plaint,"but what can one do in a state of crisis?" On a morepopular level this is known as, "It's all the effect of theatomic bomb." This is one more example of conjuringup the abstraction of the whole to escape from individualresponsibility. In a time of crisis one should not baskin the warmth of an anonymous terror, but look for theFEBRUARY, 1959 19causes and then work hard to eliminate them. The watchand wait approach of many intellectuals is only a will toself-destruction.This is not the first time that man's known world hasbeen threatened with destruction: the belief in the imminent end of the world with a Final Judgment and theintroduction of gun-powder into warfare were staggeringin their import, in spite of how simple they might nowseem to us. For the individual a dagger is as lethal asan atomic bomb. A man of intellectual powers cannotexcuse his life on the basis of how he expects it to end.If there is one word that is inseparable from the trueconcept of the educated man it is responsibility. Thedegree you receive today carries with it many moreresponsibilities than it does rights. To be sure, you areresponsible to the society in which you live, but, evenmore, you have become responsible to a body of knowledge and a body of intellectual ideals.The truly educated man is the one who does make uphis mind. The decisions he must make are not differentin kind from those required of others, and he shouldrecognize this kinship with humility. The difference isthat he realizes the implication^ of decison, how much,in the face of all that is known, the taking of a standmight mean. He must, in consequence, be a man ofcourage, willing to deny himself the attractive possibilities of self-negation, the resignation to comfortingghosts. He must demonstrate his purposefulness andhis citizenship in society not by the intricacy of hisargument or the oddity of his dress, but by the justnessof his acts. Once he accepts knowledge's responsibilityhe must act— act wisely, act positively, but above all act.Knowledge itself, as I have in various ways suggested,is a largely abstract mass that can be summoned as athreat by the pompous — "I know infinitely more thanyou"— or can, in turn, create its own terrifying corporate image to intimidate the very people who serve it —"I know all about everything but I don't know what todo." But it is a happier image to think of knowledge aspursuing you through your years of education, not tointimidate you or to be intimidated, but to make contactonce more with an active mind. It is only when knowledge is ignited by an active mind that it has hope for aproductive future.There is no higher moment in the life of a teacherthan when he sees knowledge connect with a fresh mindand the possibility of a new creative activity established.In our various ways at the University of Chicago wehave tried to spark that relationship between the activemind and the combustible stuff we call knowledge, notjust to push you to the point of this degree, nor to prepare you to belong to an exclusive club of alumni, butin the hope that you will make it the center of a way oflife. While we are quite aware of the fact that you canlead a mind to knowledge, but you cannot make it think,there is no such thing as a pessimistic teacher. Webelieve in this ideal, and we believe in you.20 Qass NeursWhen we did an alumni survey in theNew York City area last fall, occupationswas one of the categories on the surveycard.

Women are the largest group.More than 250,000 are Bell telephone employees.The Bell System is an outstanding example of American democracyin business.Millions of people use telephoneservice. 735,000 people work forthe Bell companies. More than1,600,000 people own A.T.&T. stock.The owners of American Telephone and Telegraph Company stockare people in all walks of life.Most of them are small share owners. No one individual owns as muchas l/30th of one per cent of thestock. Many thousands own five andten shares. About half own fifteenshares or less.Women are the largest group andhold the most stock. Over 250,000of the share owners are Bell telephone employees.Some 85 per cent of all the sharesare owned by individuals. In addition to these direct owners ofA.T.&T. securities, many millions ofother people have an important,beneficial interest through the holdings of their insurance companies,pension funds, investment companies, unions, savings banks, etc.The total of direct and indirectowners represents the great majorityof all the families in the country.A.T.&T. share owners, and theowners of A.T.&T. bonds, are thefinancial foundation of our abilityto serve.

In Canada,Union Carbide CanadaLimited, Toronto.Never satisfied with things as they are, the research scientist takes apart the raw materials of nature to capture the basic "building blocks" of the universe. Then he rearranges and combines the piecesinto new and better things that help improve our lives.Research is a living thing to the people of Union Carbide—for it is the foundation upon which their work is built. They have created hundreds of useful products from such basic substances as oil,natural gas, ores, air, and water.
