We threw outthe flamboyant logo (title design) infavor of a neater, modest head whichwill not over-power cover pictures.D we closed a deal with the Bentcompany of Massachusetts to providetheir attractive black arm chair, carry­ing the University shield, for alumni(see ad on P. 31). These chairs havebeen popular with scores of collegesand universities and our alumni havestarted asking for them. The chairs arecomfortable, sturdy, and decorative inboth modern and traditional settings.The Graduate School of Business hasinstalled fifty in a new conferenceroom on campus. We have two in ouralumni lounge.D we took an inventory of our Wedg­wood Chicago memorial plates andfound we have 360 sets taking up toomuch storage space. To reduce thisstock we have cut the post-paid pricefrom $12 to $9 per set of four (see adon inside front cover). The four scenesare original sketches by an artist sentfrom England by the Wedgwood com­pany.

At Chicago, so many Collegestudents saved a year that the AlumniOffice has forever been confused as towhich classes they should be listed infor class reunions and fund-raising pur­poses-if that's at all important.WITH TRADING STAMPS-A recentSaturday Evening Post interview withJoseph B.

During the video­taped tour of this giant atomic energyinstallation which the University runsfor the Federal government, NormanRoss, ABC Chicago news analyst andcommentator, showed the viewers manyof the facilities used in research onpeaceful applications of atomic energy.The scientists gave brief explanations oftheir work and its importance.In a wrap-up of the tour, Mr. Rossinterviewed Argonne director NormanHilberry:Dr. Hilberry: What you have been reallyseeing is ideas at work. You have beenseeing the almost insatiable. and almostinfinitely patient curiosity that drives peopleto be scientists. You have seen some ofthe new foundations for the future. Andyou have seen the people that are tryingto build those foundations and erect someof the superstructures that will bring thatfuture to us a few days sooner. It is int�ings of this kind, really, that the futureof mankind is wrapped up. Either wesucceed, or we fail. Weare trying ourbest to see to it that at least in our smallarea of this business we succeed.Norman Ross: Do you see any signs onthe horizon that indicate that we mightfail?Dr. Hilberry: Fat bellys-fat heads.Norman Ross: There isn't much you cansay to that. How are we going to get ouryoungsters so intoxicated and excited withthe idea of learning-of picking up thetorch and carrying on - that they won'tbe satisfied with those fat bellys and fatheads?Dr. Hilberry: I don't know. One thingthat we are going to have to do is changesom� of �ur standards. We are beginning tobe, m. spIte of everything, a passive people.� e SIt back and let somebody else do it.We .watc�. This is poverty of the mosthornble kind, even if it's surrounded withall the things that you can think of. Be­cause t?e. hUl�an animal has the one thingthat dIstmgUlshes him from the rest ofthe anima] kingdom-his intellect. He can'tOCTOBER, 1960 NEW 5 0 F the quadranglesafford ever to be satisfied, because whenhe becomes satisfied, he loses the thingthat makes him a man or woman. Some­how, we must bring to the children thisunderstanding that their only real satisfac­tions are their intellectual achievements.This is rough business, but nevertheless,this is what we must accomplish if thehuman race is going to persist and notjust become like another lot of ancientbeasts that have long since passed off theearth.Norman Ross: Do you think our edu­cational system is at fault?Dr. Hilberry: What do you mean-edu­cational system? At home? At school?Where? A street corner? I don't know.I think the matter of standards and ofideals must start at home. I just can'timagine a child being brought up withoutbookcases. How do you expect a child toacquire the intellectual curiosity that isimperative if we are to progress-and notregress - cut off essentially from all theriches which excite his curiosity? Fromthe literary riches, the scientific richeswhich he could have. This is one of thetragedies carried even to adulthood. Tomy mind this is our problem of survivalmore than any weapon, more than anydisease. It's whether or not we can, infact, regain· the exhilaration of mentalactivity. You've got to get your mentalmuscles.Norman Ross: Like exercising your phy­sical muscles.Dr. Hilberry: I suppose you have to doa certain amount of that to keep mentallyalert. Otherwise you get sluggish. Butthe achievement of getting a new thoughtis far beyond the achievement of breakinga record. (I'm sure I've never broken anyrecords. I've always furnished the amuse­ment. Somebody else furnished the compe­tition.) It is clear that the satisfaction ofa new idea is going to live because newideas, unlike records, continue for morethan a few years. A new idea becomesa part of man's heritage. Ideas are roughto get. But this is the approach. This isthe thing we must make clear. In thisway, the human race can continue to de­velop and prosper.One of the TV critics commented that "Near the end of the program Mr. Rossdescribed the laboratory's work as'overwhelming.' This was not hyperbole.'Inside Argonne' was a fascinating tele­cast." If you missed it, watch your localNational Educational Television listings,as it will be rerun on many NET chan­nels.APPOINTMENTS-Willard J. C ongrevehas been named principal of the Uni­versity of Chicago High School andassistant . professor in the University'sDepartment of Education.University High School is a part orthe University's system of. precollegiateeducation organized as a part of theGraduate School of Education. Thecentral purposes of the schools are toprovide the best possible education forthe students they serve and to exercisea leadership role in the programs andpractices of secondary and elementaryeducation.The schools have available to theirstaff the resources of scholars from allparts of the University. Close coopera­tion between the faculty of the schoolsand outstanding scholars in a variety offields, has enabled the schools to de­velop and demonstrate many new ideaswhich, during the past fifty years, havebeen adopted by the public and privateschools throughout the United States.Mr. Congreve, now principal of VonHumboldt Elementary School in Chi­cago, will become principal of the Uni­versity High School in September. Hereceived a bachelor's degree from Chi­cago Teachers College in 1942, a masterof arts degree in music from Northwest­ern University in 1947, and a Ph.D. de­gree from the University of Chicago in1957.Sverre Petterssen, professor of mete­orology of the University has beenappointed chairman of the Departmentof Meteorology. He will succeed HoraceByers, professor of meteorology who has5been chairman of the Department ofMeteorology since 1947, and is relin­quishing the chairmanship to devotemore time to research and teaching.Born and educated in Norway, Mr.Petterssen received his Ph.D. degreefrom Oslo University in 1933. He be­came an American citizen in 1955. Mr.Petterssen was a meteorologist in N or­way and also chief of the NorwegianForecasting Service (1945-48). Hetaught at California Institute of Tech­nology (1935) and Massachusetts Insti­tute of Technology (1939-42). DuringWorld War II, he was an advisor to theMeteorological Office of the British AirMinistry. He was honored by the gov­ernments of Great Britain, The Nether­lands, Norway, Finland and the UnitedStates. Before coming to the Universityof Chicago in 1952, he served as direc­tor of Scientific Services of the U.S. AirForce Weather Service.David Easton, professor in the de­partment of political science, has beennamed Ford Foundation Research Pro­fessor in Governmental Affairs at theUniversity. The professorship enablesMr. Easton to devote full time to in­dependent research during the yearbeginning this October.Mr. Easton plans to devote the timeto two enterprises. He will attempt todevelop a general theory of politicalsystems that will explain why differentnations pursue different goals and whytheir political structures differ in theway they do.His second project will be pursuedjointly with a colleague on the Univer­sity's Committee on Human Develop­ment, associate professor Robert D.Hess. They already have begun aninvestigation of the way society shapesand fashions its young people into thecitizens of tomorrow.The project seeks to uncover thevarying kinds of attitudes, images andknowledge that elementary and highschool children have with respect todemocratic institutions and the nation.THE ARTIST AND CHANCE- Theartist, musician, or writer who ignoresthe role of accident-of chance-in com­position, does so at the risk of beingtrite and tiresome. But the artist whodepends totally on accident, as somecontemporary artists seem to do, risksa worse fate, that of creating somethingmeaningless."Call it what you will-fate, thewheel of fortune, accident, or just plainluck-chance is a monumental inescap­able condition of existence," and mustbe reckoned with by the creative artist,according to Leonard B. Meyer, asso­ciate professor of music at the U niver­sity.Mr. Meyer spoke at the 4th Annual6 Communication Dinner of the U niver­sity at the Quadrangle Club. The din­ner has become a regular Alumni Weekactivity and brings together alumni whohave entered the communications field.In his talk, which was based on anarticle which he wrote for Horizonmagazine, he emphasized the pervasivepresence of chance in the universe:"A gust of wind catches a seed and,falling upon fertile ground, it growsinto a massive oak. A moment later itsneighbor falls upon barren ground andwithers. Two sets of genes combinedby chance at a particular moment inall eternity make each of us what heor she is. One soldier is alive andlaughing, while another standing not afoot away is killed by a minute frag­ment of a shell bursting yards away."The aim of the artist, the scholar, andthe scientist is not primarily that ofcontrol, but of understanding, he said."And understanding implies intercon­nection, causality, and prediction. Formeaning, of whatever sort, is a matterof implication. Thus a word, a melody,or a visual pattern may be said to havemeaning either in the sense that it refersto an object, event, or concept in thephenomenal world, or in the sense thatit implies other words, tones, or patternswhich are expected to follow. Similarly,the significance of a physical, mental,or social event lies in its consequence,whether actual, implied, or imagined."Mr. Meyer said some artists seem toassert that connections between thingsare not real, and that the universe andexistence are meaningless, and life point­less."Nevertheless, chance exists. The uni­verse is one of probabilities, not certain­ties. And for this we may be grateful.For a totally ordered, determined, andpredictable world, like a completelyrandom world, would be both dull andmeaningless. Dull, because it wouldlack tension, anticipation, and surprise.Meaningless, because totally determinedimplication would amount to everlastingredundancy."The artist creating and constructinga similar or parallel world in words,tones, or lines, who ignores the fact thataccident is part of our world, risks ban­ality and tedium, he said. "In Aeschylusas well Michelangelo, in Beethoven aswell as Shakespeare, chance is meaning­ful. Indeed one might well contend thatwhat great art does is to discover andreveal �!gnificance in the brute fact ofchance.SOUTH CAMPUS RENEWAL-Nearlyone-third of the one-hundred-plus acreswhich are the campus of the University,make up the South Campus, the areabetween 60th and 61st, from CottageGrove to Stony Island Avenue. Thisarea on 'the other side of the Midway,' one block wide and a mile long, is thesite of an urban renewal project pro­posed by the University involving Fed­eral urban renewal funds of as much as$21,000,000.The University of Chicago owns3l.53 acres of this area. Under theproposed plan, the balance of 26.5acres would be acquired by Title ISlum Clearance. The land, whencleared would be sold by the City tothe University at fair re-use value toenable the University to complete itssouth campus.The 26.5 acres proposed for clear­ance are predominately slum and blightinvolving 174 structures, of which 159are residential and 15 are commercial.These structures, were designed andbuilt to accommodate an original 925units but now contain 1,986 units, ofwhich about 140 are vacant. It is esti­mated that about 1,250 families areconcerned. In explaining the formulathat would generate approximately$14,400,000 for use by the City inother neighborhoods, Julian Levi, ex­ecutive director of the South East Chi­cago Commission, said, "If the Citywere to assume planning and adminis­tration expenses, federal credits wouldbe calculated on a $3 to $1 basis; other­wise on the basis of $2 of federal creditfor every $1 of local credit under Sec­tion 112 of the housing act. If theCity desires to seek the $3 to $1formula, the University is prepared toassumed all planning expenses in con­nection with the south campus project."Trustees of the University have com­mitted themselves to a $4,500,000 ex­penditure in insure completion of theprogram if it is accepted by the city.Here is how the application of Sec­tion 112 credits under the housing actof 1959 would work:l. On a 3 to 1 basis, the City wouldreceive a minimum of $15,000,000 anda maximum of $21,000,000 of federalurban renewal credit.2. On a 2 to 1 basis, the City wouldreceive a minimum of $10,000,000 anda maximum of $14,000,000 of federalurban renewal credit.It is estimated that the south campusplan would represent a tentative cost ofabout $6,560,000. Thus, Federal cred­its would be available to the City ofChicago for the financing of urban re­newal projects elsewhere in the City inthe amount of between $3,400,000 to$14,400,000, depending upon the typeof program chosen.The project is now before Chicago'sLand Clearance Commission for study.If the LCC decision is favorable-it willtake about two months to finish thestudy-the proposal must be then ap­proved be the City Council, the IllinoisState Housing Board and the FederalTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINESouth campus shown at right is the siteof many University buildings, includingthe Law School (ib library and reflect­ing pool are dark black at the centerof the photo); above it, the Mott Indus­trial Relations Center; below, the Burton­Judson Court dormitories.Housing Administration before it canbe put into effect.Additional development planned forthe immediate future includes a Centerfor Continuing Education, expansion ofthe 1313 Public Administration Center,expansion of the American Bar Center,and new facilities for the Social ServiceAdministration Research Center andthe Graduate School of Business.As this south campus project is un­der consideration, the earlier HydePark-Kenwood urban renewal plan tothe north of the campus is reachingadvanced stages of completion. Adoptedby the City Council in March of 1955,the plan has brought international at­tention to Chicago because it is one ofthe largest, most imaginative and ag­gressive examples of its type in thenation. Acquisition of 662 target parcelsunder the Urban Renewal plan hasbeen stepped up, with more than 170buildings already acquired. A $2,000,-000 shopping center and half of 240townhouses planned have been com­pleted. The shells of two 10-story apart­ment buildings are completed and amodel apartment on display in one ofthem. Rehabilitation of the neighbor­hood is also progressing at a rapidpace.T AXES-This August the Universitypaid its 1959 real estate tax bill of atotal of $1,021,749.66 on non-academicproperties in the Chicago area. Thissum paid by the University is amongthe largest received from any singleproperty taxpayer in Cook County."Except for land needed for schoolpurposes, the University of Chicagobears its share of taxes like any othertaxpayer," according to assistant treas­urer of the University Albert C. Svoboda.Unlike most other private universitieswhich invest primarily in marketablesecurities, the University of Chicagotraditionally has been heavily investedin real estate with major emphasis onthe "Chicago Loop.""Start.Wg wit]l the first gift of land tp. ...the .uni�ersity b� .¥..����lL.field manysUbstantial contr16utlOns to t� niver-sity have been in land and buildings,"he said.

Former Chancellor Lawrence Kimpton andMrs. Kimpton are off on their much-anticipated worldtour, as Mr. Kimpton becomes general manager ofplanning for Standard Oil Company (Indiana).Filling in as acting chancellor is R. Wendell Harri­son, vice president of the University and dean of itsfaculties. Mr. Harrision, who at 63 is probably out ofthe running for permanent successor to Mr. Kimpton,first became associated with the University in 1937when he was made an assistant professor of bacteriol­ogy. He received his master of science and doctor ofphilosophy degrees from the University in 1925 and1930 respectively.He assumed his position as vice-president and deanof the faculties in July, 1947. At that time, he suc­ceeded Mr. Kimpton,' who had resigned to becomedean of students and professor of philosophy at Stan­ford University. Mr. Kimpton later returned to Chicagoas chancellor in 1951.Mr. Harrison's career also includes service as thedean of the division of biological sciences at the Uni­versity for four years, from 1943 to mid-1947. He hasdone research and published various studies on in­fluenza, trachoma, bacterial dissociation, dental cariesand immunology.And, as Mr. Harrison takes over his new duties, thesearch for. a permanent successor to Mr. Kimpton' con­tinues. From the C-Bench to the "fifth Floor" to theQuad Club, the conversations run like those on thepolitical campaign: youth vs. maturity, background, thegoals of the institution he will lead.At the alumni office the topic is as popular as else­where and appears repeatedly in our mail.

If you have observed in me certain con­spicuous deficiencies, you can ascribe them to nativeineptness rather than to inadequacies of curriculum orfaculty. I hope you can in all honesty say the samething.The education we have received has been bothgeneral and specialized. General education hereaboutsmeans that a student learns a surprising number ofthings in a surprising number of areas with a surpris­ing thoroughness. Perhaps the word learning is mis­leading, for it is usually thought of in terms of thememorization of narries, dates, battles, and the un­fortunate wives of Henry the Eighth. We do not goin much for this kind of stuff, though I hope ourstudents do acquire some real sense of history.Actually, the learning of facts is the least importantresult of general education. Perhaps the most importantis what can, for lack of a better word, be called meth­odology. Life is RIled with problems, to coin a phrase,and the well-educated man is one who knows how tocope with them. He recognizes a problem for what itreally is, he displays flexibility and ingenuity in fi_ndingpossible solutions to it, and he has a feeling for thevalidity and soundness of his conclusions. Methodologyis the set of tools we gain in the educational processfor the recognition and resolution of our difficulties.A second product of general education, we hope, isthe development within the student of taste and dis­crimination. It is most unfortunate that the worddiscrimination has developed so many evil connotations,for it really is a very good word. It means the abilityto select among values, habitually choosing the goodand rejecting the bad and imposing a kind of priorityon the range between.A final value of general education-and one thatis seldom mentioned-is acquiring an understandingof a subject that you don't like because you have to.There is a salutary discipline about general educationwhich I like and admire, although it contradicts a lotof progressive theories of education. It is amazing howone's interests are often awakened in an initially re­pugnant subject by the grim fact of having to pass acomprehensive examination on it.All these things are conventionally summarized byeducators under the slogan «teaching the student howto think." I am a little dubious about this generalstatement without a lot of definition. The schools ofthe Middle Ages and the German gymnasium underHitler taught students how to think too. The onlyproblem was that they thought about the wrong thingsand turned up with the wrong conclusions.I suppose I have been generally educated too aroundthe University of Chicago. I have certainly been ex­posed to a wide variety of experience in somewhat thesame way as yourselves. The problems of a universityof this kind-and in a sense I have been involved inthem all-range from the impact on archaeology of the10 rising waters of the Nile caused by the Aswan Dam tothe value, cost and operation of a 12��-billion-volt ac­celerator. I doubt that I now understand all thesethings as thoroughly as you have come to understandthe materials in the general courses; a chancellor, bythe very nature of his job, must pose as an authority Onall sorts of matters that, when you come right down toit, he doesn't know much about. A general is a general­ist by definition, but what I have lost in depth I haveperhaps compensated for in this matter of methodology.I am proud of what I have learned at the University ofChicago about methodology in recognizing problemsand finding solutions to them. Over the last nine yearswe have actually repaired neighborhoods, regainedfinancial solvency, changed the College around, andrebuilt the professional schools. Th big accelerator isin good hands, fairly well financed and on schedule,and we are even pondering a crash archaeological pro­gram in the disappearing valley of the Nile.I am not sure that I have changed as much in mattersof taste as I hope you have. Perhaps these things arefor the young, and one becomes increasingly inflexibleas his arteries harden. I have tried to like beatnikpoetry and prose and have even worked at understand­ing this strange cacophony of sounds called modernjazz, but without success. As for folk songs, I sadlyagree with the man who remarked that the only troublewith them is that they are written by the people. Istill like Shakespeare and Dickens and Beethoven andBrahms, so I'll have to write this part of my generaleducation off, but let's wait a hundred years beforemaking a final aesthetic judgment on who is right.I do believe, however, that in having to do somethings one doesn't want to do, I am way ahead of you.You may have had to learn some mathematics eventhough you deplored the stuff or had to analyze amodern poem which you found incomprehensible; butI have had to repair neighborhoods, say pleasant thingsto unpleasant people, and enter into all manner ofactivities for which I had no talent or initial concern. Iam sure the discipline was good for us both and con­stitutes an essential part of our general education.We have said also at the University of Chicago in jmore recent years that specialization is a good thingand we have introduced a generous dose of it into OUrundergraduate degree and re-emphasized it at thegraduate level. I hope time will prove us right and Ibelieve it will. In addition to general knowledge, every­one, even with a bachelor's degree, ought to knowsomething well. I am not sure it matters very much'what it is, nor do I believe that it ought to have anynecessary vocational implications, but there is realeducational value in knowing chemistry or history Orpolitical science and knowing it thoroughly. At themore advanced levels, there has been a great deal ofalarming talk of late about giving a general, non,research doctor's degree. The argument is made thatmost people who take the Ph.D. end up in teachingand never do another bit of research, so why give themthe intensive research training that the doctor's thesisinvolves. I hope we never succumb to this insidiousargument. There is a value in the harsh discipline ofresearch that is as essential for the teacher as for theTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEOnBecomingAlumniAt the spring convocation in Rockefeller Chapel,departing Chancellor Lawrence A. Kimpton told thegraduates, "You and I are both about to becomealumni of one of the great universities of the world."He took this occasion of parting to be personal,reminiscent and nostalgic about his nine years asChancellor.OCTOBER, 1960, 11investigator. Even if one's interests lie solely in teach­ing, he should have firsthand knowledge of what learn­ing really is, and there is no way to find out withoutmaking, or at least trying very hard to make, a con­tribution to learning. Moreover, the specialist has beenbadly misunderstood in these flippant days when toooften untutored people make fun of him by saying heknows more and more about less and less. The success­ful specialist is one who brings an enormous amount ofgeneral knowledge to bear upon what may seem to bea small problem, but out of the solution to this problemour knowledge is increased and the human lot improves-which comes very close, incidentally, to the motto ofour University-Let knowledge grow from more tomore; and so be human life enriched.You have received better specialized training herethan I, for you have been taught by some of the greatteachers and investigators of our time. My role in theUniversity has cast me as a glib generalist, posing uponoccasion as an authority on matters about which I amrelatively ill-informed. In the other hand, there are afew things that I have had to learn and learnthoroughly. A faculty, for example, demands candorand truthfulness in its relations with the head of theuniversity. It may not always reciprocate, mind you,but it wants and deserves the truth. And anotherresearch discovery I have made is that a faculty worksbest with a minimum of administrative meddling. CCGetgood people and let them alone" is my lowly contribu­tion to the advancement of higher knowledge. OurUniversity has treated us well in giving us both thebreadth of knowledge and intensity of concentrationthat together make up the essentials of an education.To have been exposed to a good education gives onethe right and perhaps the obligation to comment uponthe future of American education in general. Ourcountry has been passing through a confused and dan­gerous period of anti-intellectualism. Everybody be­lieved vaguely that education was a good thing, asincreasing enrollments indicated, but the public had acontempt for its results and even for the educators andtheir institutions. To earn a college degree was a niceaccomplishment, but to speak and act like an educatedman made one an egghead. It took some internationalcatastrophes such as atomic explosions and orbitingsputniks to jar the country out of this schizophrenicnonsense, but I do believe we have made it, at least inpart. Learning, or, at any rate, learning science, hasbecome not merely fashionable but of enormous im­portance. We were led even to take a long look at thehigh school program, where the prevailing anti­intellectualism had substituted comfortable adjustmentfor sound education as its objective. There is still away to go. Learning science is important, because thelack of it will have appalling national consequences,but there is a final step still to take. Learning is im­portant for its own sake, and I include the study ofmany subjects having no apparent consequences at all.America began with the clear awareness of this truth12 upon the part of its leaders, and somehow it got lostill the growing passion for egalitarianism and materialprogress. I believe that learning is coming back to itsrightful place in our culture.For some strange reason, to be well-educated byone's alma mater also gives one the right and indeedthe obligation to comment upon its future. I hope youwill agree with me that the University of Chicagoshould remain small. I state this as my first requirementbecause in my opinion, which I hope you will share, somany things follow from it. If we grow much largerwe are going to have to accept money which couldwell lose us our precious freedom. It is an ancientadage but still a true one that the payer of the fiddlercalls the academic tune. And we can accept money forour growth which will forever commit us to enterprisesand associations of which we should have no part. Thetemptations in the future will be tremendous. Wecould build a school of agriculture through the liber­ality of some bucolic-minded philanthropist, and wecould fabricate a rocket that would reach the moonand might come back. It will be tempting to do suchthings in the days ahead; money will be freely offered.I hope we resist these temptations, for we would bedeparting from our natural genius. This faculty cannotbecome much larger without losing its warmth, itsinformality, and its easy communication. Nor can thestudent body grow much larger, except at the under­graduate level, without becoming unwieldly and un­acquainted. Let us leave these things for the state in­stitutions which have to do them and ourselves remainsmall in numbers and high in quality. We need enoughfacilities to house our students and office our faculty,but very little beyond this. It was said in the old daysof German scholarship that the end of a great professoroccurred when he offered to show you his new institute.There will never be enough good professors or indeedgood students for us to double our population andretain our quality.If we are to continue to be a small university of thehighest quality, there are certain obligations that youand I must assume as alumni. We must support thisinstitution freely and generously and even blindly. Irefer, among other things, of course, to financial sup­port, for it is far harder economically to conduct a smallinstitution than a large one. Even more important, youshould support your alma mater by believing in her.Things will happen as you grow older, more cautiousand more conservative that you will find ununderstand­able and offensive, but never deviate, no matter howexasperated you become. Your alma mater will alwaysremain innovating and if in later years she offends youthrough these very innovations you are wrong and sheis right.A great university is forever innovating because sheis forever young. And youth is a time of freshness, ofnovelty, of deep emotional commitment to good thingsand great deeds. Our University has perpetual youthbecause she always stands on the frontiers of newknowledge, flushed with the spirit of adventurous in­quiry. Our final debt to our alma mater can be dis­charged by forever remaining, like her, young of heart,adventurous in spirit, and inquisitive of mind.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEIn the new playroom at the BobsRoberts MemorialHospital there is a playhouse big enough fora child to stand up in and keep house in.

"He gave the property to theUniversity <in perpetuity'-never to besold, never to be mortgaged, confidentthat the future would make the gift in­creasingly valuable. He was right."Because of its belief in the economicvitality of the Chicago area, the Uni­versity also has sought real estateopportunities for its investment funds."In the 1920s, the University made animportant contribution to Chicago'sloop by assembling the land for threemajor office buildings," Mr. Svobodasaid. "The structures are the One NorthLaSalle Building, the Builders Buildingat LaSalle and Wacker and the U nder­writers Building which is the south halfof the Insurance Exchange betweenJackson and Van Buren. Real estateopportunities have provided some of thefinest investments we have been able tomake in order to keep the endowmentfunds working at the best possible rate."JOKES AND JOKESTERS, OLD ANDNEW-In the quarter-century since WillRogers' death, no American humorouscommentator has risen to anything likehis prominence."This significant fact," says WalterBlair, chairman of the Department ofEnglish "proves that a great Americantradition died with him."Assisting at the demise of this tradi­tion, Blair suggests, were widespreadeducation, urbanization, and touchysponsors. Mr. Blair, who is author ofNative American Humor, 1800-1900(soon to be reissued in paperback), re­calls the reaction to Will Rogers' death25 years ago on August 15, 1935 in aplane crash near Burrow, Alaska."Radios, giant headlines and obituarynotices filling many columns spread thenews to a shocked nation. The nextevening a coast-to-coast radio hookupcarried a memorial program. MajorityLeader Robinson in a Senate speechcalled Rogers <probably the most widelyknown citizen in the United States andcertainly the best beloved'."Rogers was famous as a motion pic­ture actor, a performer on stage andradio, a columnist in 350 daily and 200Sunday newspapers with an estimated40,000,000 readers, and "left an estateof $2,300,000 in deflated dollars," Mr.Blair says.'"While Rogers became more famousthan any predecessor because all thesemedia made him known," Mr. Blairsays, "he carried on a very old tradition.Early in the 18th century, BenjaminFranklin created his Poor Richard-acountryman) temperate) pious, unedu-16 cated but so wise in the ways of theworld that his sayings were read andtreasured by a large share of his coun­tl·ymen."After Franklin's death in 1790 therewas a gap of a few decades, but begin­ning in the 1830's until 1935 Americaconstantly had at least one homespuncommentator on current foibles andevents who was highly influential."Among these were Major Jack Down­ing, the Yankee crackerbox sage createdby Seba Smith; Hosea Bigelow, thecreation of James Russell Lowell; andArtemus Ward, the mouthpiece ofCharles Farrar Browne. Davy Crockett,the coonskin Congressman, was botha real politician and the creation ofnewspapers and almanacs which at­tributed to him many witty sayings."Abraham Lincoln greatly admiredWard; and at a historic cabinet meet­ing he read some of Ward's letters be­fore presenting the Emancipation Procla­mation. Lincoln himself was much ad­mired for the common sense and witwhich enabled him to say penetratingthings about current affairs."A few years after the Civil War MarkTwain became our most famous hu­morist "partly because he had a knackfor discussing social and political prob­lems in homely and amusing language.Beginning in 1876 he took a lively partin politics, and until his death in 1910his salty utterances were good for first­page newspaper stories." Mr. Blair, aTwain scholar, is author of Mark Twainand <Huck Finn,' published early thisyear.Other commentators who appearedin Twain's last years and continued towrite well into the 20th century wereFinley Peter Dunne's Irish saloonkeeper,Mr. Dooley, and Kin Hubbard's Hoosierfarmer, Abe Martin.Mr. Blair believes the present-daywriter who is nearest to the old traditionis Harry Golden, whose newspaper col­umns are widely syndicated and three ofwhose books have become best sellers."Mort Sahl, a lively monologist, isanother shrewd commentator who re­sembles the oldtimers," he says.But neither Golden nor Sahl approachthe giants of the past in breadth of ap­peal.Blair suggests several reasons for thefading glory of humorists in the Frank­lin-Twain-Rogers tradition."While many Americans still prizehorse sense wit as a guide to wisdom, atleast as many have come to believe thateducation-even a college education­such as old-time humorists scorned bet­ter prepares a man to solve complexmodern problems."The rural civilization which nurtureddialect humorists has been replaced byan urban civilization lacking respect for men who talk in the vernacular. Forexample, today's outstanding humorousperiodical is The New Yorker which de­clared in its prospectus that it wouldbe the magazine that <is not edited forthe old lady in Dubuque' but for ametropolitan audience."Mr. Blair notes that almost all of thenation's top humorists have appeared inThe New Yorker since its founding in1925, Clarence Day, Robert Benchley,James Thurber, and S. J. Perelman,none of them dialect humorists."Finally, magazine editors and tele­vision sponsors who pay modern humor­ists don't like to take the chance ofletting them offend any potential cus­tomers. The late and great Franklin P.Adams had something when he said<You can't kid the man-eating sharkthese days, or the sharkskin suit manu­facturers will land on you like a tonof bricks."A WALTER BLAIR SELECTION OFAMERICAN HUMORWe hold the distinction of being theonly nation that is goin' to the poorhousein an automobile.- Will Rogers.Every time Congress makes a joke it'sa law.

With its blue waters the Nile brings to Egyptsome of the wealth of Africa; it brings life itself, forEgypt lives on its green banks.As early as 1899, a reservoir was built at Aswanto better utilize the waters for irrigation. Today,'with the 'pressure of its increasing population, Egypturgently, needs more land for cultivation, better andhigher crop yields and hydro-electric energy for itsexpanding industry.The new Aswan High Dam will bring these benefits;in fact the Egyptians claim that it will effect totalutilization of the Nile's waters. Not a drop of the riverwill be lost in the sea.OCTOBER, 1960 The conquered Nubians pay tribute to Rameses II in thisrelief from the temple of Beit el-Wali. The Nubian officialsbelow, with the son of Rameses at the top of the leftpanel present the rich gifts 0/ gold rings and leopard pelts.Beautiful temples such as Beit el-Wali were constructedby the Egyptians to impress the conquered Nubian prov­inces with the power and prestige of the Egyptian state.However, this dam will back up Nile waters forabout 300 miles in southern Egypt and the Sudan.Where previous reservoirs created seasonal rises in theriver, the waters collected by the new dam will sub­merge every trace of ancient man along these banks.The massive monuments and temples which Egyptconstructed in Nubia are threatened. The many un­explored sites containing evidence of the many peopleswho through the centuries made their imprint on theNubian valley will be lost.According to Keith C. Seele, Egyptologist and pro­gram director of the Oriental Institute's EgyptianAswan High Dam Program, past explorations in thearea have revealed colossal monuments and templesbuilt by the Egyptians to magnify the prestige andpower of imperial Egypt in the conquered Nubianprovinces. Not only this period is represented inNubia, however. Tombs contemporary with the earlyChristian period have been uncovered. Kings have beenfound buried with royal jewels, fully equipped horses,their retainers, and their wives."Somewhere in this ancient valley," Mr. Seele says,"the white, brown, and black races met and mingledfor the first time. 'With good luck we may turn upsome of the evidence of these relations. With betterluck we may bring home to America new knowledgeand even material remains of these remote and ex­citing events."Emergency programs for the Nubian valley call forattention of the world. The government of the United17Arab Republic, through UNESCO, has called for assist­ance. It has outlined plans for test digs wherever pros­pects are good. Of the 21 temples which will be sub­merged, it hopes to move most to higher ground. Thereare hopes of protecting the two massive monuments atAbu Simbel by a great retaining wall. These. temples,with their 10 massive figures of Rameses II and hisqueen Nefertari, are carved into the cliffs of crumblingpink sandstone. The sacred island of Philae, caughtbetween the first Aswan dam and the new dam fourmiles upstream would have to be completely sur­rounded by a protective wall.Such a project is estimated at a cost comparable tothat of the new dam itself. Another $40 to 60 millionwould be necessary to protect the Abu Simbel monu­ments.To encourage the efforts of other countries, theUnited Arab Republic 'has offered five or six templesto be exported. In return for substantial efforts, Egyptwill open sites within Egypt formerly closed to in­vestigation by foreigners. With the exception of uniqueitems necessary to complete the national collections,foreign expeditions will be able to keep half of theobjects they uncover.T HIS month the Oriental Institute group will leave forEgypt. Though the University has been investigatingand recording the sites of the Nile valley for fifty years,this is the first time the pressure of time will weighheavily upon the expedition. The group has elected towork at Beit el-Wali. One of the first sites to be sub­merged by the lake which will form behind the AswanHigh Dam, it is just thirty miles south of the dam.There one group under the immediate direction ofProfessor George R. Hughes will photograph and copyfor publication the important historical records andbeautifully painted reliefs of the temple of Rameses II(1304-1238 B.C.) while another team, with participationby the Schweizerisches Institut fur Agyptische Bau­forschung und Altertumskunde in Kairo, will explore a12-mile stretch to the north of the temple on both sidesof the Nile, excavating and recording whatever tracesof ancient man may have survived. Since at the south­ern limit of the University of Chicago expedition areathere is the temple. of Kalabsha built in the reign of theRoman emperor Augustus on the site of a sanctuarydating from the 15th century B.C., the expedition ishopeful of finding evidence in this 12-mile stretch of along succession of peoples who made their imprint onthe Nubian valley.The temple at Beit el-Wali is not a free-standingbuilding. It is cut out of solid rock. This temple willeventually be moved to higher ground; however, incutting the solid rock walls for transfer, damage isfeared.James A. Breasted, who headed the very first of allChicago expeditions in 1906, referred to this small, ex­quisite temple as the most beautiful of the Nubian tem­ples, having the most finely executed reliefs. The copy­ing of the reliefs will be based on photography; artists18 use enlarged photos as drawing paper, working in thedetails. The photo is then bleached away, leaving areproduction more accurate in detail than otherwisepossible. Straight photography will also be used, and,as there is a great deal of color in the temple, much ofit will be color photography.The Oriental Institute has had long experience inthe copying and publication of such sites. At its head­quarters at Luxor to the north of the Aswan site,it is now working on the seventh volume of its epi­graphic survey. It has issued six volumes of an architec­tural survey of the area about Medinet Habu on thewest bank of the Nile, opposite Luxor, and two volumesdevoted to temples of Rameses III at Karnak.The Luxor headquarters, called "Chicago House,"are a splendid group of buildings on the river bankhalf way between Luxor and Karnak, given to theOriental Institute by the late John D. Rockefeller, Jr.Its library is one of the best Egyptological collections inthe world. There are photographic and artists' studios,splendid staff housing, even vegetable gardens and amachine shop.Work at Chicago House has been continuous sinceits establishment in 1924, save for a period duringWorld War II. It is now under the direction of Profes­sor Hughes. Some of these staff members will betransferred to Beit el- Wali to carryon the emergencyprogram.Under most recent estimates, the expedition will haveat most two years to complete their work at Beit el-Wali,If funds permit, the expedition plans to then movefurther south into the Sudan, where the flood waterswill be rising later. In this area they plan to excavatea site north of Wadi HaIfa.But, unless there is widespread financial support, theOriental Institute's program will be curtailed.That many Americans of every age and grade areconcerned was proven by the response to an article inthe July Reader's Digest, "SOS from the Temples ofNubia." In a two week period, 262 letters with smallchecks were received at the Oriental Institute. 0One letter came from seven school-children whowrote: "We, of our street, are sending what moneywe can to help save the temples. It is not very muchbut it all counts. We raised the money at a hobbyshow we had." They enclosed $.65.But more is needed-Very much more!"Every necessity of life will have to be transportedto Beit el-Wali, as nothing is grown, manufactured, Oreven sold on those deserted banks of the Nile. The ex­pedition needs a houseboat, a fast motor launch to carrysupplies, water filters, everything, in fact to preservethe health and welfare of a dozen human beings whoare dedicated to saving some eternal human values thatbelong to the whole world," Mr. Seele reports.�If you wish to contribute, checks should be payable to theUniversity of Chicago and sent to Oriental Institute, 1155 E.58th Street, Chicago 37, Illinois.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE00-19EDWIN D.
