Kirkpatrick, who coordinatesUniversity planning efforts, the University of Chicago willhave spent some 87 million dollars in new campus construction, renovations, and neighborhood improvements. Newcampus construction, diagrammed above and highlightedon the cover, impressive as it is, does not represent thetotal of this investment.The University of Chicago's program includes:1949-19591. New campus construction, $30 million2. Renovation of campus buildings, $2.1 million3. Neighborhood improvement, $6 million1959-19641. New campus construction under way now, $8.4 inillion2. New campus construction planned by 1964, $30 million3. Renovation and demolition, $9 million4. Neighborhood improvement, $2 millionMr. Kirkpatrick points out that $131 million in publicand private funds are being funneled into the Hyde Park-Kenwood neighborhood through the urban renewal programand the expansion plans of other Hyde Park institutions.Just as urban renewal is changing the face of Hyde Park,so the new construction by the University has changed andwill radically change the face of the University's campus.This expansion program stems from three needs. One isthe necessity of preparing for the great increase in studentenrolment expected throughout the nation during the nextfive years. By 1964 it is anticipated that our current undergraduate enrolment of about 2,200 will be doubled. Duringthis period, the graduate enrolment will also increase. Moreover, there is a present need to provide additional housingin University buildings for current students.Another purpose in the expansion program is to keep pacewith expanding needs for research facilities in an age oJFscientific discoveries. Investments which cannot be seenon the map include renovations totalling $200,000 to theanatomy and zoology buildings and to Abbott Hall, whichcontains teaching and research laboratories in pharmacology,physiology and biochemistry. Hospital-side renovations inthe last two years totalled $1,586,000, and $375,000 wasspent on renovations within Kent Chemical Laboratory.Additional construction still in the planning stage includes$10,000,000 for new research buildings and $5,500,000 forrenovation in the Division of Biological Sciences. Some$1,500,000 has been set aside for library improvements; and within the next five years a new building will be constructed for the University bookstore.Mr. Kirkpatrick summarizes this campus blueprint asfollows: "Within five years, we estimate that the value ofour campus buildings and facilities, at today's price level,will be more than a quarter billion dollars. As a result, theUniversity of Chicago will have one of the most valuedplants devoted exclusively to higher education in America."1. . . .Mens Residence Hall, 1963, $2,400,0002 . . . .

It will be in use early next year.> I—jflffiNOVEMBER, 1959Last June several articles in national publications, notably TIME, COMMONWEAL, and THE NEW YORK TIMES, focused attention on thenewly reorganized College oj the University oj Chicago. These articlesraised questions in the minds oj many alumni as to the character oj thechanges, and some misgivings as to the direction the 'new College' mightbe taking were expressed. During reunion week in a discussion oj the College, alumna- journalist Laura Bergquist joined the newly appointed Deanoj the College, Alan Simpson and jaculty member Ned Rosenheim.The Public Image of the CollegeA ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION BY THE DEAN, A FACULTY MEMBER AND AN ALUMNAALAN SIMPSON, appointed dean oj the College lastMay, has been a faculty member of the University since1946. He ivas graduated with first class honors from theUniversity of Oxford in 1933, and received his Master's in1935 and Ph.D. in 1939 there. A specialist in modernBritish history and American Puritanism, he has taughtin both the College and the history department. In 1956,his book, Puritanism in Old and New England, received aprize from the Institute of Early American History andCulture at Williamsburg, Virginia. Last month he wasappointed to the newly established Thomas E. Donnelleyprofessorship.EDWARD "NED" ROSENHEIM, JR., '39, AM'46, PhD-'53, is an associate professor of humanities in the College.Having been on the faculty since the fall of 1941 , Mr.Rosenheim teaches college humanities (the literature handbook in humanities is his work), as well as courses in theEnglish department. His specialty is 18th century satireand Jonathan Swiff, and he edited the new Rinehart book,Selected Prose and Poetry of Jonathan Swift. While teaching, he has also directed the Radio-TV office from 1954-57and edited the Journal of General Education. He is an oldhand at discussions like this one, having produced the oldUniversity of Chicago Roundiable program for radio.LAURA BERGQUIST, '39, as editor of the Maroon oncampus "led a conspicuous and singular crusade againstgambling on the South Side of Chicago," according to herclassmate, Ned Rosenheim. Since then, Miss Bergquist hasbeen, among other things, associate editor of Coronet andthe West Coast editor of Coronet and Esquire Magazines.She has done public relations work for several years inMexico. Today, as an editor and writer for Look, she hasdone write-ups of Bobo Rockefeller, Steve Allen, and mostrecently, Cary Grant. She is active in New York City alumniaffairs.8 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEMr. Simpson: If I might just comment on one feature ofthe original press release, this beauty and brawn talk . . .Miss Bergquist: I have just read the whole release.yir. Simpson: Then you are able to see the absolutely disproportionate amount of attention it was given by the press.It came at the end of a long statement and, I hope, a carefully constructed one, in which I was emphasizing our intellectual qualities. And this was thrown in at the end asa cheerful remark intended to suggest something . . .Miss Bergquist: It was funny.Mr. Simpson: It was intended essentially as a light remark.Mr. Rosenheim: It seems to me that the basic point is thatthere's nothing incompatible between an authentic spirit ofintellectual inquiry and devotion on the one hand and akind of high spirits and attractiveness on the other . . . thesort of thing that one likes to see in young people is acapacity for pleasure, and for enthusiasm.Miss Bergquist: Except, I don't think the Dean's commentsare that easily dismissed. Consider that a very reputablepublication like Commonweal, which has kept close trackof the University and has been very sympathetic to it,did this critical editorial. And the way the beauty andbrawn remark came out in the press did seem to be akind of a backtracking and a . . .Mr. Rosenheim: But look. The terrible thing about it is thatany observation or judgments based upon the story that appeared in the New York Times would be inevitably unreliable because the story in the Times was not only fragmentary, but it was false in the most fundamental ways. Forexample, it suggested that the recent changes sought toalter a system which had prevailed here since the thirties.Actually, however, the major revision of principle— the attempt to achieve a meaningful combination of general andso-called specialized education— occurred in 1953. Thecurrent changes seek, almost entirely, to carry out withefficiency and uniformity the principles established sdTyears ago.Miss Bergquist: Then the real University attitude has notreally been properly voiced, and I think this should be acause for concern. A great many of the alumni of theHutchins era particularly— that's about 20 years of alumni-have the feeling that everything that was done during thatera is now being sort of systematically downgraded anddisparaged— that now at last we have rid ourselves of theseterrible experiments and the University is going to becomeci good, nice, safe, normal kind of college like everybody else.Mr. Simpson: There's a very real and important continuitybetween the Hutchins era and our era. One just looks, forexample, at the importance attached to the general education courses, to the staff, and to the ideas that were recruitedin those days. Ona realizes that this isn't the violent endof an era at all. Uur effort is to preserve everything thatwas good in that Hutchins era, and to mend some of thethings that didn't work. The sort of note that I tried tostrike in my original statement was one of the balancein which there's no thought of destroying things and starting off with a clean slate at all, but essentially preservingeverything that is good and, at the same time, amendingsome of the defects. One of the things that had to be changed was the rather painful division between the peopleconcerned with general education and the people in thedepartments.Miss Bergquist: Now what is meant by general education?Does this mean roughly old survey courses I knew?Mr. Rosenheim: Well, survey is a misnomer. They are thegeneral courses in broad areas of discipline and knowledgewhich are required of any student as a part of his undergraduate liberal education.Mr. Simpson: The College which I came into in 1946when I arrived here was one in which there was a sharpseparation between general education that went on in theCollege and graduate work which went on in the divisions.This gulf between the College and the departments wasa very painful and stultifying one, and felt to be so onall sides. It meant that people in the departments whowould like to have taught the undergraduates had no opportunity of doing so. It meant that people in the Collegewho would like to have had some opportunity for researchand some standing in the department were prevented fromhaving any. And this led to a good deal of frustration. Ithink the most important feature of the re-organization isthe way in which that gap has been bridged and thesetwo different sets of people brought together in an enterprise in which they are really trying to pool their talentsand their energies.Miss Bergquist: Will you explain how this is being done?Mr. Simpson: It's being done within the framework of anundergraduate college faculty which is made up in aboutequal proportions of the members of the old College andmembers who have been drafted from the departments.Miss Bergquist: Will the program itself change?Mr. Simpson: The general courses, which were the hallmark of a college education in the Hutchins era, arepreserved. We offer shorter forms of most of these courses,because we do not expect the majority of the students tospend more than two years in general education; but thereis still a chance to elect the longer versions. But, Ned isin closer touch with this than I.Mr. Rosenheim: The really drastic shrinkage occurred fiveyears ago. What was difficult was the tremendous diversityof programs which has existed over the last five years. Insome subject areas where a large general education component was encouraged, we didn't have a great deal toalter. In other areas, we had much less than the two yearsof general education that we presently enjoy. In effect,there is now a uniform, two-year core curriculum of general education for all students; in some instances this hasinvolved pulling in our horns a little bit and in others . . .Miss Bergquist: What areas does this new curriculumcover? It is proportionately the same old division of educational interests?Mr. Rosenheim: The same old thing boils down, actually,to the humanities for two years, two years of the socialsciences, two years of the natural sciences, mathematics fora year. This is an approximation because, as you know,we have placement exams which make these ingredientsvariable in view of the student's previous preparation andcapacity. And the core also includes history, and EnglishNOVEMBER, 1959 9and a foreign language— so that all of these things go intothe two years.Miss Bergquist: So that's what you get in the first two years—for the student now. And the last two years you go intoyour specialty. Is that right?Mr. Rosenheim: Well, not quite.Mr. Simpson: We're thinking in terms of a 2-1-1 formula.That's two years of general education. The third year hasa great deal of elective freedom in it.Miss Bergquist: You could shop around.Mr. Simpson: Well, you could shop around . . . undercertain guidance.Mr. Rosenheim: In some instances, for example, when thething in which you might specialize requires certain prerequisites—for example, language— chances are that you willspend some of that third year taking that and probablydo some special work. In other fields, there's greater latitude. In some instances, for example, if you are interestedin the Humanities, you can take a third year of generalHumanities.Miss Bergquist: This is where the whole program reallykind of opens up . . . where you can pursue studies whichyou . . .Mr. Rosenheim: That's right. In our day, you remember,we had the two sequence courses in the College in thefirst two years, and you could either use them to get yourself ready for what you were going to specialize in or youcould if you were interested in say, art— even though youwere going to be a botanist— you could take a few coursesin art. The third year still may serve roughly the samepurpose. Your fourth year is really your specialized year.Even then, I think it ought to be said that this divisionis not absolutely rigid, year by year. That is, in whatis chronologically, say, one's second year, one may anticipate specialization, which would delay some general education courses even to the fourth year.Miss Bergquist: Is this comparable to any other kind ofcurriculum at any other College? Or is this still an independent University of Chicago plan?Mr. Rosenheim: I think that if you were to visit the classesthat are being conducted here, you'd probably find theanswer to most of these questions about what's differentabout this University from other universities— what remainsunchanged over the years at this University and, in short,the secret of the University of Chicago. Our classes, forexample, stress certain things that are rarely stressed elsewhere. I think you'd be impressed by the discussion thatgoes on— the insistence that you look at the problem, thatyou look at the original materials rather than use textbooksor read histories of the problem.Miss Bergquist: I was impressed by this. I think I told youI graduated in '39. In '50-'51, I was back here on theAlumni Magazine and every once in a while, I would dropin on a class. I was impressed by how much better classeswere than when I was a student. They were smaller.There was less of the lecturer and the audience kind ofthing. And the mature level of discussion was reallyastonishing. Mr. Simpson: And I would expect that under these newarrangements these opportunities for face to face contact with the really big figure will be increased. We knowthere are people in the divisions, now, like Sam Allison,who's a top-flight physicist, or Adrian Albert, who's a world-famous mathematician, who have, themselves, assumedthe responsibility for organizing the undergraduate education in math and physics.Miss Bergquist: This, I think, is very promising because Ido recall that in those old days in '39, there was a surveycourse where there was . . .Mr. Rosenheim: the great man . . .Miss Bergquist: lecturing and he was something awesomeand distant . . .Mr. Rosenheim: I think that's some significant progresswe have made; because actually, for example, today, ifyou look at the College, the courses that have lecturers,for example, like Humanities I, have one lecture per weekand four discussion groups per week— groups of twentypeople. Most of the courses don't have any lectures at all,which is the reverse of what used to be the case.Miss Bergquist: This is the kind of thing I think the University ought to emphasize. Today the picture of theUniversity I get through travelling administration officialscoming through New York, is of a place that is buildingvery hard and of course, this is very necessary. Last nightI went out to take a look at the tremendous reconstructionthat's being done here and it's very impressive. But theline that they're plugging is . . , we are reconstructing theneighborhood, we are trying to get the normal students,we may bring back limited football . . . and this is veryunpersuasive to me. I think a parent sending a child tocollege is more apt to be impressed by the kind of personal attention that you can now get in the college.Mr. Simpson: Of course, I think that we will have to strikein the future, with expanding enrolments, for some kind ofbalance between the small discussion group of twenty-fivestudents and the opportunities of the larger, lecture class.It was more or less a dogma of the old College that youstuck to the small discussion unit. But I'm not sure thatthat wasn't carried too far, because I think that the lecturewhich is given by the first-class man is just as stimulatingas what goes on in the small discussion unit.Mr. Rosenheim: Despite the people who build up a kindof mystique around the discussion unit, it seems to me thatthere's nothing so magical about the notion. Even with agroup of, let's say, a teacher and nine students— four maybe actively engaged in the discussion and five may besitting quietly listening. The important thing about therelatively small class and the so-called discussion techniqueis the accessibility of the teacher, the fact that questionscan be raised, the fact that the teacher has an awarenessof the students. I don't think the difference between aclass of, let's say, 10 and 35 is really frightfully importantin this respect. I've often succumbed to the charm of thetotal discussion notion: everybody's one happy family andevery kid is on his toes and the conversation gets spreadaround. In obvious common sense terms, this doesn't goon when you have more than half a dozen people in aroom. We all know this from tea parties and all the rest.It just dosen't happen that way.10 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEyir. Simpson: Laura suggested a moment ago that some0f our publicity sounded like a betrayal of intellectualstandards. Of course nothing could be further from ourminds. Our intellectual tradition is the best thing aboutus. But we think we should look after other things too.I doubt if we have done as good a job outside the classroom as inside. We would like to see the students betteradvised, better supervised, better housed and better entertained. The relations between the faculty and the studentscould be closer and friendlier. And there is not the slightest reason why this sort of progress should interfere withth intellectual life. The academic performance of ourstudents is actually higher than it has ever been, and weexpect the entering class to contain a bigger proportionof high school graduates with "A" records than ever before.Mr. Rosenheim: Laura, how would you define this thingthat we're accused of rejecting?Miss Bergquist: As a positive statement about ideas, theimportance of ideas, the cultivation of the intellect, thecultivation of the well-rounded person in terms of ideas—in terms of education. I think a good university or a college always wants to attract the better student. The stateui iversities have to take everybody, but the private insti-ti on in this day and age can perform a very specialfunction, like setting intellectual standards.Mr. Rosenheim: What I'm really after— let me tip my mitt—is this: there was a time when a good many people, andI must say myself among them, felt that the besetting sin ofthis university community was arrogance. And if you explored that arrogance, you'd discover that it really boileddown to a belief that people of unusual gifts were beinggiven an education that was unusually demanding, but alsounusually rewarding— that this was one of the rare repositories of a learning which was being judiciously ladledout to those who deserved it, and that these few would,ii urn, be the superior citizens of our societv.Miss Bergquist: You had the feeling that you got a verygood education by comparison to other schools, and youwere proud of it . . . but I don't think this pride was exclusive with Chicago. I think people from Harvard, for instance,were pretty arrogant about having gone to Harvard andthe education that they got. In '51, I would say the students here seemed little different from the students I sawrecently at Carleton, which is my only basis for comparison right now— which makes a great thing of excellenceand of attracting better students. But the thing that interests me about Carleton is that they attract a rather uniform student body, which is kind of upper middle class,n ddle-western, very bright. . . . And the students there,a, id the faculty too, are worried about the uniformity of thestudents. One of the student leaders said to me in a veryjoking way, "Perhaps we ought to import a few beatniksor a few mavericks or a few foreigners or something toleaven the sameness of the student population." They weretremendously good students and they studied very hard,but there seemed a Jack of the kind of ferment and excitement which has always been* a part of Chicago. You know,it's always been a kind of maverick University and I thinkit would be a shame to destroy that quality.Mr. Simpson: I think it would be a total disaster if itover lost its sense of excitement. And of course it won't. . But getting back to that business of arrogance— the' ollege of '46 was arrogant in some unjustified ways. Itwas exciting, but it was also a little unbalanced. Youmight describe it as a paradise for a certain kind ofNOVEMBER, 1959 Miss BergquistMr. Rosenheim11philosopher, but it didn't offer very much hospitality to,say, the historian on the one hand, or to the scientist onthe other. From the point of view of the departmentalscientist, science as a growing thing wasn't being taughtin the college at all. From the point of view of thehistorian, the student tended to live in a timeless swirlof ideas— big, bright, gleaming notions, very slenderlytethered to the ground. But that was '46, and muchbetter balances have been struck in the interval. In history,for instance, we not only teach Western civilization,we have three one-year courses in the civilizations of India,China, and Islam. And the teaching of science has takenon a new depth. It's typical of Chicago to be involved ina ceaseless search for improvement.Mr. Rosenheim: Change is one of our specialties here; forinstance, the staff-taught course, which is something thatno one's really done justice to in the educational journals.,The great majority of the courses in the College are taughtby staffs. Reading lists, the objectives, and, to some modestextent, the modes of teaching are commonly arrived at bya group of people, numbering anywhere from two to thirty,who plan the course. Well, obviously, they're restless peoplewho are constantly looking for improvements. I speak withsome feeling, having spent this last hot week as chairmanof Humanities I thinking about the books that didn't workout so well, the pieces of music that the kids had troublewith, or recognizing that there was some problem aboutincluding this painting and omitting that painting. Andthe consequence of all this is that during this past weekand for the next two or three weeks, the staff of HumanitiesI is constructing what is irreverently referred to as the newedition of the staff bible, which will incorporate the kindsof changes that we've been talking about. Some of themwill work and some of them won't work. Now, I thinkthis is the kind of thing a staff will do, whereas most ofus, teaching on our own, are self-satisfied and reluctantto change our courses. The staff course— with its meetingsand red tape— may be kind of rough, but I like it, and Ithink our education's better because of it.Miss Bergquist: How many time has the "bible" beenchanged?Mr. Rosenheim: As many times as the courses are taught.Mr. Simpson: You've been talking about the principle ofstaff-taught courses. But I think one can generalize,probably, about the University as a whole and say its thekind of place where you expect an open mind to be maintained about the aims of education. It is one reason whyif there is an important change in the world situation orin the educational situation, Chicago is the first place torecognize it. We have asked ourselves "to what extentshould education change to meet the needs of the post-warworld?" That can be spelled out in terms of philosophy,history, science, a whole group of areas. I think this isthe kind of place where the question is asked and something is done about it, while some universities in Europelike Oxford are so steeped in the traditional ways of doingthings. It's almost the last place. . . .Miss Bergquist: Did you find students arrogant there?Mr. Simpson: They have their own kind of snobbishness,yes.Miss Bergquist: This week I'm back and able to talk toUniversity people directly, so I realize that ideas that I have, sitting a thousand miles away do not square withall the facts. But I do think something should be done.I suppose this is the job of public relations about the veryconfused image that you now get of the University— whichseems to include a depreciation and downgrading ofeverything that went before and a sort of talking about{he terrible mess that the University was in. I feel, personally, there is a great depreciation of Mr. Hutchinshimself. He was an innovator, and an innovator naturallymakes mistakes, but I think he was a valuable personto the University and certainly a great stimulant. And Ithink a great many people like me and other alumni oftwenty years find this rather ungracious. Not only alumni,but people outside the University have come to equatehim *with a certain excellence and pioneering in educationthat has been adopted by other colleges and universities.People I know— people of influence on papers in New York—feel this depreciation has become the University's partyline. They say "what's the University doing?" "Whatare they up to?" You sitting here, you don't see it thatway; what we read is Time magazine which talked aboutthe crazy beatniks of the Hutchins era. It's very unfortunate.Mr. Simpson: I'd like to make one thing clear. No onehere is trying to malign the past or to diminish the statureof a very great chancellor. Mr. Hutchins exposed the educational institutions of his day to a dose of brilliant rationalism. It was badly needed and the results were immenselyinvigorating. But when that sort of thing happens, somedamage is done, and some errors committed which haveto be repaired. We believe we have repaired them. Avery heartening thing is the unanimity on the campusabout what we are doing. There has been no minorityreport, there are not bitter divisions.Mr. Rosenheim: If you look at the record very closely,you'll find, I think, this unanimity of Chicago people onthe most basic aspects of what's done here. You take thediscussion group. You take the insistence upon the presenceof the work or the text or the idea itself rather than thecontext or the watered-down treatment. You take thestaff-taught cpurse. You take the whole notion of generaleducation. These have been fairly constant elements inthe thinking of the University for a long, long time. Theywere present here to some extent before 1929.Mr. Simpson: I will go to the extreme of saying that noone could make this University either fashionable orirrelevant or dull— it would be absolutely impossible. We'retalking about a great research institution. We're talkingabout an institution where you always have great teachersexciting young minds on the camptis. We're talkingabout an institution which is in the heart of a huge metropolis. We're talking about an institution which is constantlyvisited by people touring the world. This kind of trafficin visitors and ideas will grow rather than shrink withthe future. What all this adds up to is an intensely vigorous intellectual tradition. If one looks at the next five yearsand asks one's self what is going to happen, I think we'regoing to have a college which is about twice the size, whichis a whole lot better housed and more conveniently handled,in which the departments are far more deeply involved thanthey have ever been in the past, and in which at the sametime, all the gains of the era in which we were concentrating on the problems of general education will be preserved. My own feeling is simply that if you're as sure aswe are of our intellectual standards, you can afford theluxury of the crack I made at the end of my press release.12 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEAMERICAN UNIVERSITY ARCHITECTURE'StudentsNeedthe RealThing'BY ALAN M. FERNWith an A.B. '50 and an M.A. '54,Mr. Fern is an ass't professor of humanities in the College. This articlegrew out of an exhibition he arrangedfor the 1959 Festival of the Arts. Above the door to the east transept of Rockefeller Chapelare carved two images of cultural centers. At the left isan acropolis, its statue, gateway and temples symbolizingall that was best in antiquity; on the right is a group ofneo-gothic towers and crenellated walls: Mitchell Tower,Harper Library, and the Chapel at the University of Chicago. This juxtaposition is not the result of a whim on thepart of some anonymous decorator of the Chapel; on thecontrary, it seems to suggest that the style of architectureused in the University of Chicago had a symbolic qualitywhich was meant to be as meaningful to the educatedvisitor as a reference to ancient Greece would be. It isapparent that the selection of an architectural style for theUniversity was much more than simply a matter of housingadequately the institution's functions.Everywhere today's visitor turns from Rockefeller Chapel,he sees the evidences of a tremendous burst of architecturalenergy, as the University of Chicago, its affiliates and neighbors indulge in their first building binge since the 1930s.This activity is striking in itself, but even more striking isthe fact that few of the post-war buildings of the Universityof Chicago have been designed in the gothic style characteristic of the old campus. In place of the enclosed quadrangle, surrounded by buildings of similar height anddesign, the new buildings are arranged in a far less regularorder.In the Law School, for example, architect Eero Saarinenhas grouped a series of differently shaped buildings ofvarying heights around a pool, with one side of the groupleft open. Just as the layout of the Law School is unlikethe older quadrangles, so the design of the buildingsthemselves is different from anything we have seen beforealong the Midway. Connected as they are— by passageways,through materials, and even by some decorative motifs—with the older Burton-Judson Courts immediately adjoiningthem, these law buildings seem to represent an entirelyunfamiliar concept of what university buildings should be.At least this is how the new Law School and other modernbuildings on campus might strike someone who had notobserved the new buildings going up at colleges and universities all around the United States; everywhere in thecountry the very same transformation of academic architecture is taking place. The results are not always asimpressive as the Law School, but the trend is evidentwherever one turns.Obviously something has changed our way of planningthe physical plant of the university, and clearly we cannotfully comprehend these new buildings without understanding this change. Let us start by looking back to the firstNOVEMBER, 1959 13Jt_ _ - ... ,*r***««'».«««444¦ ; || 1 1| . _»jLr~iTMTftLrirrrr^Walter Gropius: the Graduate Center at Harvard University, 1950Mies Van Der Ro/ie: plan and building ofIllinois Institute of Technology, 1939, re- Ifleeting system of modular units in buildings and space used in campus designWright: Florida Southern College, 1950 Left to right: Smith Hall, Harvard University, designedby Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge, 1914. Archway, LelandStanford University, designed by the same firm, 1887-91.An early 18th century print showing several of thebuildings of the College of William and Mary, 1693colleges and universities in the United States to see howthey conceived of their architecture and plans, and thensee how our present-day concepts evolved.Even before the American Republic was founded, thefirst buildings were planned for the College of William andMary at Williamsburg. They were in the contemporarystyle with classical ornament, pitched roofs, and simplecontrasts of material; in keeping with the clear symmetryof the architecture, the plan of the campus was simple andclear with the buildings facing one another around arectangular lawn. Harvard College reflected a similar attitude towards design and planning in its early buildingsarranged around the 'Yard.' The builders of these earlyAmerican colleges did not consciously seek a kind of structure which would be particularly suitable to institutionsof higher learning, but chose instead the current style oftheir time and place. Even when Thomas Jefferson plannedhis campus for the University of Virginia using classicallyinspired forms which were not then part of the architectural vernacular of the country, he did not regard theuniversity as requiring a different style of building from astate capitol, or a residence.By 1850 or -60, things had changed. The Americanarchitect, whether designing homes or institutions, beganto measure his sophistication by the range of command hehad over a variety of styles, and by the end of the 19thcentury American universities reflected this. Buildings inRomanesque and Roman, Greek and Spanish Mission styles,all could be found on the campus— sometimes in alarmingjuxtaposition.In some cases, as at Leland Stanford University, a stylewas selected which was thought to reflect local traditions;sometimes, as in the Smith Halls at Harvard, a style waschosen which harmonized with earlier buildings in the area.Curiously enough, the firm of Shepley, Rutan and Coolidgewhich built the Spanish Mission buildings at Stanford alsobuilt the 20th century Georgian Smith Halls at Harvardas well as some of the gothic buildings at the Universityof Chicago. The work of this versatile firm is only one ofthe examples of the conscious selection of style whichcharacterized university building until recently.We have already indicated that the choice of Englishcollege Gothic for the University of Chicago was partlythe result of a feeling that this style was connected symbolically with the idea of a center of culture, and as theUniversity expanded in the 1920's this idea was explicitlystated in development literature.1 Donors of buildings wereinvited to construct monuments to culture (and memorials'See reproduction of Great University Memorials on page 16.14 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEto their families), and the question of the everyday useof the buildings was purposely left to appear less significantthan their more public and monumental functions.In universities such as Stanford and Chicago, where thearchitectural style and the plan of the campus evolvedtogether over a comparatively short period of time, anattractive harmony came to characterize the campus. AtHarvard, Yale, and other older universities, however, the'battle of the styles' in which architects had been engagedleft its mark on the campus; buildings of radically differentarchitectural heritage stood next to one another uneasilyproclaiming that they belonged to a country which hadno living architectural tradition of its own. Worse yet, theymade of the formerly coherent campus a disorganized andeven chaotic jumble, which only served to emphasize theinconclusive search for style which had occupied theirarchitects.A few, far-sighted men were disturbed by this stylisticcrazy-quilt, among them the noted Chicago architect andplanner, Daniel H. Burnham. With Frank D. Millet, Burn-ham prepared a report which was addressed to Prof. CharlesEliot Norton, then a member of the Board of Overseersof Harvard University. Here are some excerpts from theReport:. . . Harvard College now possesses many buildings ofexpensive construction, but of unrelated architecture, andso located with reference to one another as to give animpression of incongruity. Lack of reciprocal arrangement,coupled with absence of uniform style, color, and scale, hasproduced this condition. Each of the buildings erected inrecent years has seemed to assert itself and clash with itsneighbor, so that in spite of the architectural excellence ofcertain of them, individually considered, the total effect isdisorderly.The unfortunate results of this condition are obvious.... In the regular ordering of the intellectual life of itsstudents, in the methodical grouping of the collections contained in its museums and libraries, the university shows itsbelief that sound teaching rests on order and system. Butshould not the definite work of the lecture room, themuseum, and laboratory be supplemented by proper materialenvironment? . . .Lack of order in our American cities and universitieshas been the rule. With a few notable exceptions, suchas the city of Washington and the University of Virginia,all of them have developed the evils to be expected fromthe lack of a systematic plan and until very recently therehas been no sign of better things. . . .Among universities the Johns Hopkins, Chicago, Columbia,and Stanford have comprehensive plans for organic growth.Among cities Cleveland, New York, San Francisco, andWashington have plans providing for immediate improvements as well as future developments. . . .xHarvard was urged to follow the example of the universities (Chicago among them) and the cities listed, andprepare a plan for redevelopment of its campus. Althoughonly in the early years of the present century did the planand architecture of the university come under carefulscrutiny, people soon came to realize that an attractiveand functioning institution could not just 'happen.'It has already been suggested that there is some connection between the plan of a group of buildings and theirarchitectural design. As the one undergoes change, theother must soon feel it. At the same time that many American universities were developing coherent plans for theircampuses, a new and vital sense of architectural designbegan to appear in a few men. Frank Lloyd Wright cameinto prominence during the first decade of this century,and his work— added to the teaching of Peter Behrens andReport dated 27 April, 1905, quoted from Charles Moore,Daniel H. Burnham, Architect, Planner of Cities; Boston andNew York, Houghton Mifflin Co., 1921, vol. 1, pp. 249-51. a number of other European architects— inspired twoyounger men: Walter Gropius, and Ludwig Mies Van DerRohe. Wright, Gropius, and Mies (the last two havingcome to the United States in the years before the SecondWar) are among the old masters of modern architecture,and all have had a profound influence upon present-dayuniversity building.Forty years after the Harvard Report was delivered,Walter Gropius was asked to design a Graduate Centerthere for the University. Gropius evolved the Center witha group of his advanced students at Harvard, who developed a scheme for the group of buildings after a closeexamination of the requirements of space and the facilitiesnecessary. Several alternative plans were developed andfeatures from each combined into the final design. Theplan of the Graduate Center, as it was finally completedin 1950, is unusually varied and interesting. The mainlawn is the most irregular space in the group; there is oneclosed quadrangle, and an L-shaped space which leadsfrom the more enclosed main area to the space outsidethe Center. Within the Center itself, Gropius and hisassistants have tried to make the spatial experience asvaried and pleasing as possible, by utilizing variations ofenclosure, size, materials, and direction. Burnham maynot have had a plan of this sort in mind for Harvard, buthe would certainly have been pleased to see the applicationof a systematic plan and the closely related architectureof this Center.Even before Gropius designed the Graduate Center atHarvard, his former colleague, Mies Van Der Rohe, wascommissioned to plan a campus for the Illinois Institute ofTechnology. In 1939 and -40, Mies evolved a plan newto American institutions; abandoning the classical 'campus',turning his back on the quadrangle, Mies used a systemof modular units as the basis for his LIT. plan. The sizesof all the buildings could be expressed in terms of multiplesof a unit of a given size, which also was reflected in thesystem of measurement of the spaces around and betweenthe buildings. The heights of the floors throughout theentire campus was kept constant, although buildings mightvary according to the number of floors they had. Furthervariation was provided in wall-plan, position, and materials,while the modular unit served as a unifying feature whichcould be felt (if not precisely defined) by the visitor tothe campus. Yet another approach to campus planning wasshown by Frank Lloyd Wright in his buildings for FloridaSouthern College, at Lakeland, where the angles made bythe free arrangement of buildings around irregularly shapedlawns and pools reflect the shapes used in the buildingsthemselves, and provide surroundings of unusual intimacyand variety for the student.During the years of this remarkable development ofAmerican university architecture, the University of Chicagohad little cause to abandon its original plans. For the sakeof consistency, it kept to the gothic revival style with whichHenry Ives Cobb had cloaked the first campus buildings.Even after the second war, extensions to Billings Hospitalkept (on the exterior, at least) to the old style, but thetimid contemporary design of the Administration Building(1947) suggested that a new direction might be taken.Gothic detail had become costly, and no longer seemed tohave the meaning which once it had for the members ofthe University. The better architects no longer seemedinterested in designing in styles out of the past, as oncethey had been. The Trustees showed themselves to realizethis when, in 1954, they first engaged Eero Saarinen asarchitect for the University.Saarinen was ideally suited for the job. The son of anoted architect, he was superbly trained and had alreadyNOVEMBER, 1959 15With a Referencei the Plans for the Deivlopment ofthe University of ChicagoOne tut of tht civilization of any age is tin regard whichit ha j for tht teachings of tht past and tht opinion of posterity.IheGnekt ami the Romans had then in a high degree.

Auditorium:(above) chapel at Concordia Senior College in Fort Wayne, Indiana; (below)David S. lngalls Rink, Yale University shown himself to be a highly inventive designer withdeep interest in the problems of harmonizing large grounof buildings. Looking at a group of Saarinen's buildings \is obvious that he will not commit himself to one form 1solution, as some architects do, but prefers to create formappropriate to the mood and function of each particulaproject. At the General Motors Technical Center 1,enlivened the rectangular forms of the main buildings wirtiareas of brightly colored, glazed brick, setting against themthe curved shapes of exhaust chimneys, water tower, andthe semi-spherical auditorium; for added variety, the whol»group is reflected in a large pool. At Concordia SeniorCollege, Saarinen turned to triangular shapes for his chapelthe high pitched roof of which provides a striking contrastwith the flat surrounding landscape. At M.I.T. his audi-torium and chapel are designed almost entirely in curvedshapes, yet the cylinder and sphere of these buildings giveno hint of the exuberance which the architect has beenable to express in the skating rink at Yale.Saarinen is versatile, to be sure, but unlike the architectof 75 years ago the forms he uses owe little to the formsof past architecture. They may display a kind of spiritualharmony with buildings of the past, but in form and detailthev are very much a part of the present. Placed in thecontext of Saarinen's other work, and the work of otherAmerican architects todav, the new buildings at the University of Chicago can be seen to be a part of a new traditionof architecture. We no longer strive to revive past styles;we no longer take pleasure in the evocation of the past inthe same sense that our predecessors did.It is interesting to compare President Coolidge's statement about the 'aliveness' of the university with the following passage written by Walter Gropius:. . . the student needs the real thing, not buildings in disguise.So long as we do not ask him to go about in period clothes,it seems absurd to build college buildings in pseudo-perioddesign. How can we expect our students to become bold andfearless in thought and action if we enclose them timidly insentimental shrines, feigning a culture which has long sincedisappeared?1Fifty years after the Harvard Report regarding the needfor planning in the university, Gropius' utterance underlined the need for liberation of the university's architectural style from period designs of the past. There is thesame assertion here as in the earlier Harvard Report:buildings help to teach students to think and to respond;perhaps this actually constitutes the replacement of the oldsvmbolism of university architecture by a new symbolism,but it also is part of a return to vital, contemporary architectural practice. We are not ashamed of our older buildings; even those which fail to have any real architecturaldistinction have been charitably treated by time and landscaping, and give to the American university a distinctivewarmth, color, and character. But these buildings are apart of the architectural past, and today they have becomeoutmoded and inefficient in certain respects. The best ofthese older buildings must be preserved, used, and appreciated—for after all the university is a guardian of theheritage of the past. We should be thankful to the university for recognizing, in its architectural planning, that ithas a responsibility towards present-day creativity as well.Looking at the photographs reproduced here, and at theactual buildings going up around the University of Chicago—and elsewhere in the country, perhaps one can get asense of the living environment which the architect andthe university are creating today.'Walter Gropius, The Scope of Total Architecture, Ne\V-York, Harper and Co., 1955, p. 72.16 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINENEWS OF THE QUADRANGLESThe Entering ClassWhile the undergraduate populationof campus has taken a slight dip (2,143this year, as compared with 2,153 lastyear), the graduate schools have increased from 3,651 in 1958 to 3,670this year. The total quadrangles enrolment shows the slight increase of 5,813students, over 5,804 students at thistime last year.In die entering class there are 544first- ar students, 155 transfers and 13students at large. Forty states, the district of Columbia, Puerto Rico and twoforeign countries sent freshmen thisyear. The largest contingents are fromIllinois, New York and California, butthere is also a broader and deeperrepresentation from the Midwest.Student interests held to a traditionalpattern, with 34 per cent of the newcomers naming the physical sciences astheir chosen field of study. The humanities, social sciences, and biologicalscien' >s were about on a par in theirclain on student interest. According toDirector of Admissions Charles D.O'Connell, "Our experience shows, thatshifts to the humanities and socialsciences as a major field of studyincrease steadily over the four years leading to graduation."The class of '63 shows changes overprevious classes in four respects: It hasmore "A" students. Nearly two out ofthree students admitted had "A" records— 63 per cent of the students ascompared with last year's 56 per centand 48 per cent the previous year.More members of the class arewomen; a four per cent increase overlast year's count means that the ratioof men to women in the freshman classis now less than two to one. More menand women in this class will also resideon the Midwav than before. Four hundred fifty-four have signed for roomsin University residence halls, with theremaining 16 per cent living at theirhomes in the Chicago area. This increase in "resident" freshmen has threefavorable implications according to Mr.O'Connell. "It signifies that more students will be able to draw easily uponthe University's general facilities, willbe closer to their classrooms, and willparticipate more fully in the intellectualand social activities occurring on theQuadrangles."The final change in the compositionof the entering class was reported byWalter L. Hass, director of athletics, whose personal survey of accepted applications showed 112 of the 349 entering male freshmen had competed inhigh school team sports. "From ourpoint of view, too, this is the best freshman group in years," Mr. Hass says."Last year, for example, only about 60entering students had listed experiencein high school sports, yet half of the1958-1959 varsity letters and awardswent to this group. If the new studentsdemonstrate the same measure of interest and ability, our overall varsity showing this year should be much improved."Behavioral Sciences CenterFive University of Chicago facultymembers have won fellowships at theCenter for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences: They are: BenjaminS.

Botanists are now planning thestructure to give them controlled lightconditions.Since natural light varies during theday and between seasons, artificiallighting will be used exclusively. Plantsto be studied in the one-story brickbuilding will be grown in custom-tailored climates, sheltered from airpollutants, insects, fungi, and plantparasites. Through precise controls, thebotanists will be able to produce lightintensities up to 3,000 foot candles perroom. A bright, sunny day in Chicagois generally rated about 5,000 footcandles.This carefully controlled environment is needed, according to CharlesE. Olmsted, chairman of the department of botany, because naturalweather conditions are so variable theycan upset an experiment. "Ordinaryglass-enclosed greenhouses suffer, aslaboratories for studying plant growthexperimentally, by being too similar tothe natural Chicago environment. During July and August, for example,greenhouse temperatures can go up to120 degrees Fahrenheit. From earlyOctober through April high enoughtemperatures can be maintained, butthe natural light intensity is usually toolow for satisfactory growth. During theremaining three months, conditions maybe satisfactory for most plants. Thus,to repeat or extend certain experimentsmay require a delay of as much asseven months, for favorable, though notidentical, growing conditions." The projected laboratory will bebuilt on the site now occupied by twogreenhouses which will be torn down.A grant of $150,000 has been receivedfrom the National Science Foundation,but an additional $75,000 will beneeded to cover the costs of construction and equipment, as lighting for oneroom alone will cost up to $5,000.Occupying 2,700 square feet, thelaboratory will contain six rooms forbotanical experiments, including tworooms for low temperature research at35 degrees Fahrenheit. The rooms willbe about the size of an average livingroom. The lighting will be provided byhigh intensity fluorescent lamps, similarto those used for street lighting inChicago's loop and in other major cities.However, . since such fluorescent lightsdo not produce all types of light whichplants need to grow, incandescent bulbswill be used to supplement the light ineach room.Charcoal and electrostatic filters willclean the air, and air conditioningequipment powerful enough to cooltwelve five-room houses will be used tocombat Chicago's summer temperatures. To prevent outside agents, suchas plant parasites, being carried intothe control areas, non-living materialsbrought into the laboratory will besubjected to superheated steam; plantswill be fumigated, and personnel willbe required to change clothing beforeentering the laboratory from out ofdoors.Standardized Aphasia TestsAphasia— a condition in which speech,hearing, reading, and writing abilitiesmay become garbled because of brainimpairment— has long been studied atthe University's Speech and LanguageClinic, which is directed by ProfessorJoseph M. Wepman. Research workersat the University of Chicago and theUniversity of North Carolina, actingas a team for the past three years, haveoutlined three basic types of aphasicdisturbances.1. Aphasics who are able to speak,but can't summon the correct words toexpress their thoughts. Their wordsare completely unrelated to the ideasthey are trying to discuss.2. Patients who seem unable to formthe frequently used connective wordsof the language, such as the, and, of.They speak as though they are readingfrom a telegram; such a patient wouldsay "fishing— Monday" instead of "Iwent fishing on Monday."3. Aphasics who seem able to useonly words of general meaning. Thistype of patient speaks without specificmeaning, as though the listener couldsupply the important words. He soundslike this: "Well, I don't know, but I think, yes, I know it is, but it's wonderful."A new diagnostic test has been developed by the research teams. Themain instrument in the test is a metalbox which projects simple line drawings and words on a television-likescreen, eight by twelve inches. Samplepictures and words might be those fora bicycle, dog, or house. The natureof the patient's defect is revealed byhis degree of ability to name the pictureor word, to match the picture with theprojected word, to use the word in asentence, and to respond to the therapist's spoken questions."We hope that the new test will enable us to determine more specificallythan we have before the language defect presented by our patients, and fromthis analysis enable us to make therapymore specific to the individual problem," says Dr. Wepman. Specificaphasic defects, such as the inabilityto use certain areas of vocabulary orto use words in proper grammaticalsequence, would be disclosed by thetest. Five teams of experts are administering the test at midwestern andeastern hospitals and clinics so that itcan be standardized for general use inaphasia treatment centers throughoutthe country. Plans are to release thetest for general use in November ofthis year. Technically called the Language Ability Survey, the test has beenadministered to more than 200 patientsso far.Pay as You GoThis fall, the University will becomeone of the first major universities in theMidwest to offer a comprehensive program of monthly payment of educationcosts. Under the Tuition Plan, Inc.,costs of tuition, fees, and board androom may now be payed on the in-installment plan rather than in one cashpayment at the beginning of each quarter. According to Dean of StudentsJohn P. Netherton, "it is likely to be areal convenience for many parents tohave the option of paying installmentsout of current income rather than drawing from savings or investments forsingle quarterly payments."The program is available in fourdifferent plans to fit specific needs ofparents, ranging from one to four years.The one-year plan is covered by aservice charge of four per cent, withfive per cent for the two-year plan withpayment made in 20 equal, consecutivemonthly installments. The three andfour-year plans are covered by a chargeof six per cent, and are payable in 30and 40 consecutive monthly installments, respectively. Contracts for morethan one year automatically are coveredwith life insurance.18 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEAppointmentsGRADUATE SCHOOL OF BUSINESSDouglass V.
