However, in this month before our new chancellor, GeorgeWells Beadle, takes office, we have a unique opportunity to pauseand reflect ... and report.When we look at the physical plant that surrounds us, there iseverywhere evidence of change. From those early campus buildings,Cobb, Gates and Blake, the campus has spread over many acres.Within even the old buildings renovation continues constantly. Astudy in contrast of the University of 1891 and 1961 illustrates thisissue: The renovated interior of Gates and Blake which now serveas offices for the College is contrasted with the old classrooms andoffices in Cobb Hall.But, the faculty and the students who come from all over the worldto work with them, remain remarkable unchanging. This is not tosay that they are not elusive.

": a portion of WilliamRainey Harper's first Annual Report to the Boardof Trustees of the University:"It is expected by. all who are interested that theuniversity idea is to be emphasized. It is proposed toestablish, not a college, but a university .... A largenumber of the professors have been selected with theunderstanding that their work is to be exclusively inthe Graduate Schools. The organization, as it has beenperfected, would be from the college. point of vi�wentirely a mistake. It has been the desire to estabhshan institution which should not be a rival with themany colleges already in existence, but an in.stitutionwhich should help these colleges .... To assist thesenumerous colleges, to furnish them instructors whoshall be able to do work of the highest order; toaccomplish this purpose, the main energies of theinstitution have been directed toward graduate work. �. . . The chief purpose of graduate work is, not tostock the student's mind with knowledge of whathas already been accomplished in a given field, butrather so to train him that he himself may be able topush out along new lines of in,,:estigation. Such workis, of course, of the most expensIve character. Labora­tories and libraries and apparatus must be lavishlyprovided in order to offer the necessary opportunities.. . . Here also is to be found the question of the effortto secure the best available men in the country as theheads and directors of departments. It is only theman who has made investigation who may teach othersto investigate. Without this spirit in the instructorand without his example students will never be led toundertake the work. Moreover, if the instructor isloaded down with lectures he will have neither timenor strength to pursue his investigations. Freedom f�omcare, time for work, and liberty of thought are pnmerequisites in all such wor�. . . . An �ss�ntial element,moreover, is the opportumty of pubhshmg results ob­tained in investigation. To this end it is provided thatin each department there shall be I?ublish�d either. aJournal or a series of separate studies which shall ineach department embody the results of the work ofthe instructors in that department. It is expected thatProfessors and other instructors will, at intervals, beexcused entirely for a period from lecture work in orderthat they may thus be able to give their entire timeto the work of investigation. Promotion of youngermen in the departments will depend more largely uponthe results of their work as investigators than upon theefficiency of their teaching, although the latter will byno means be overlooked. In other words, it is proposedin this institution to make the work of investigationprimary, the· work of giving instruction secondary.""The energies of the institution seem to be still directed towardthe production of college tea.cher�,. for a recent study of thenation's 2,000 colleges and universities revealed that 16 of themare providing the undergraduate training of one-fou.rth of allcollege teachers; And this same group ha� be�n domg .so f�rmany years, and will continue to do so.

Kirkpatrick, vice chancellor who coor­dinates University planning recently reported onthe University to a University neighborhood or.ganization:First, may I say some things which for some of youat least are unnecessary and repetitious. You and Ihave as neighbors distinguished scientists, lawyers, doc­tors, teachers, scholars who would not be living inWoodlawn, Hyde Park, Kenwood if it were not forthe University of Chicago. We have as neighbors mostof the 6,000 students who come from fifty states andsixty foreign countries. We have these neighbors be­cause the University is recognized as one of the greatuniversities of the world. It has made and is continu­ing to make many important contributions to the ad­vancement of knowledge-in literature, sociology, highschool teaching; in cancer research and scores of othermedical fields; in nuclear physics and computer re­search; and on and on and on.The University of Chicago campus, figuratively. speak­ing, extends beyond the Yerkes Observatory at WilliamsBay, Wisconsin and the Argonne N ational L�boratorynear Lemont, Illinois to the Chicago House m Luxor,Egypt. Our faculty members are all ove� the worldstudying and helping to solve the economic problemsof Chile, the many different kinds of problems facingSoutheast Asia and the new nations in Africa, theeducational problems of Pakistan and Turkey, diggingup the ancient civilizations in Greece, Iran, Iraq.This November, the two lovely Swedish princessesvisited a science laboratory class, our Oriental Instituteand one of our cancer research laboratories. At the endof the visit, Mr. Jarring, the Swedish ambassador tothe United States, told us of his country's great esteemfor the work of the University of Chicago. It is nothappenstance that during the last two ye�rs. or so,the University has been visited by Queen Ehzabeth ofGreat Britain, Queen Frederika of Greece, PresidentHeuss of the West German Republic, President LopezMateos of Mexico, the King and Queen of Denmark.Please forgive me if I have dwelled too long on theUniversity's reputation. Human nature has all of ustaking for granted what we have in our own back yardand human nature requires you to go out of town tobe recognized as an expert or a hero.Let me add one thought about the University's finan­cial role in Woodlawn, Hyde Park and the Chicagometropolitan area. On this campus right here we arespending over $50 million a ye.ar for facu!ty? staff, food,goods and services. I do not mclude bmldmg or othercapital expenses, just �perating expenses-t?e l.argestpart of which by far IS for payroll, to maintain the6,000 plus full-time staff and several thousa�d part­time workers. Many of these people are our neighbors,The University's hospitals and clinics serve 200,000visits each year on top 'of the thousands treated as in-THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEpatients. In addition to the University's expenditures,the Dean of Students figures that our student spendson the average of about $115 per quarter for personalexpenses. Most of this money, well over $2,000,000 peryear, is spent in our local community.All of you know about the student explosion or stu­dent flood which is hitting the colleges as a result ofthe sharp rise in birth rate beginning in the 1940'salong with a steadily increasing proportion of youngpeople going to college. By 1970 the student enroll­ments in higher education will be at least 6 million,twice as many as the total of the last few years. Thisis excellent for the nation's well-being, but it is askingthe colleges and universities to perform something closeto a miracle in such relatively short order. Witness theplans of the University of Illinois to establish a four­year college in Chicago. Witness the bond issue of$195 million for expansion of state institutions of higherlearning in Illinois on which we voted last Tuesday.The University of Chicago has to help perform thatmiracle for American higher education by increasingits student population and its research and other facil­ities. Let me add even another factor affecting this ex­pansion. It seems probable 'that the next session of Con­gress will pass legislation to bring thousands of promis­ing students from all over the free world to the UnitedStates-and possibly many to this area-for advancedstudy. Already, governmental authorities have dis­cussed with the University of Chicago the possibilityMILLIONSOFDOLLARS CONSOLIDATED CURRENT INCOME(EXCLUDING SPECIAL GOVERNMENT RESEARCH P({O.IECTS)SELECTED YEARS 1938-:19 THROUGH 1959-6055� �����----------------------------------Io UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT CONTRACT INCOMEnnm SUNDRY INCOME� AUXILIARY ENTERPRISES INCOME45�� __ ------------------------�INCOME FROM PATIENTS• GIFTSIII ENDOWMENT INCOME���--------------------------�STUDENT FEES351----------------------------130 1-----------------------425 '-- _20 �----------------___1101938 1942 1941 1945 1946 1952 1954 1957 1958 195939 43 45 46 47 53 55 58 S9 60MARCH, 1961 of our playing a greater role in the training and de­velopment of leaders in these nations which also arebeing wooed so aggressively by Moscow.During the last dozen years the University has hadto add very substantially to its physical plant; it hashad to use much of its vacant land and to clear otherparcels of land.

What I have recited is not a complete list.It is what we know now. Additional demands will bemade on the University during the next several yearsand the requirements will inevitably increase. . . .A few years ago President Eisenhower's Commissionon Higher Education reported that the universities ofthe country would have to perform a near-miracle totake care of their -ncw and additional obligations to thenation during the next ten to fifteen years. The Presi­dent's report said:Our colleges and universities are expected by the Americanpublic to perform something close to a miracle in the next6 10 to 15 years. They are called upon to provide educationof a continually improving quality to a far larger numberof students-at least 6 million by 1970 compared to 3 mil­lion now. The sharp rise in births which began in the]1940's and which has already overcrowded the schools willshortly begin to strike the colleges. Meantime, with thecollege age group in our population at its lowest point in'25 years, enrollments in higher education are at the highest Ilevel in history because a steadily increasing proportion iyoung people are going to college. jThe Commission urged various ways of helping theuniversities, one of which was by way of urban renewal.Last year the Congress of the United States followedthrough on this by passing an amendment to the Hous-Iing Act which eliminated the requirement relating topredominantly residential make-up or re-use in the case Iof a project for an educational institution-and further,the legislation states that expenditures of a universityfor acquisition or clearance and redevelopment willgenerate Federal credits for urban renewal in the samemanner as expenditures by the City. Please remember ithis legislation was purposely created by Congress togive help to the universities in cities where land re-THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEI �evelopment is a problem-and this covers such great1 Institutions as Columbia and New York University inNew York, University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia,i Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Yale in NewHaven, Harvard and Boston University in Boston, and! many others. a half acres of the total 58 acres in the South Campusarea, under the proposed plan would be acquired byTitle I Slum Clearance.

University are concerned with the South Campusarea. Rather than reuse for new or renovatedhousing, this area is needed for campus expan­sion:MARCH, 1961 7the Trustees realized this when in 1954 they appointedEero Saarinen as University architect.In a recent article in Architectural Record, Mr.Saarinen wrote of the campuses for which he hasdesigned buildings, particularly Chicago, Yale, Con­cordia and M.I.T. He paid homage to the old archi­tecture, while taking pride in the new:"The older parts of the University of Chicago orYale University, the former built mostly in the 20'sand the latter in the 20's and 30's, are both dressed inthe pseudo-Gothic, and both of them were sneeredat by us as young students for their eclecticism. Yet,wandering about the University of Chicago today, oneis amazed at the beauty achieved by spaces ( .. Nogeneration has talked so much about 'space' in archi­tecture as our own; and no generation has done solittle about it ... ) surrounded by buildings all in onediscipline and made out of a uniform material; whereeach building is being considerate of the next, andeach building-through its common material-is agingin the same way. One is now far enough removedfrom the fight against eclecticism to admire the large­ness of vision of the time, and one becomes interestedin finding out how all this came about."It is significant that on a small court on the Uni­versity of Chicago campus built between 1894 and1930, three different architects-Henry I. Cobb, Shepley,Rutan & Coolidge, and Charles Klauder-built the fourdifferent sides of the court. All are in the Gothic style,and the court gives us today a beautiful, harmoniousvisual picture (false stage scenery of a bygone era,it is true). Imagine what would have happened if threeor four equally eminent architects of our day wereasked to do the four sides of a square! ..."One begins to realize the great value an over-alldiscipline like the Gothic had in making the problemof unity simpler. But we must look further to see howthe total master plan of the University was achieved.At Chicago, Henry I. Cobb made the master plan not atwo-dimensional but a three-dimensional one, and setthe pattern of the Gothic. This plan was respected.The strong Board of Trustees insisted that the plan becarried out substantially as conceived."Mr. Saarinen goes on to advocate a method of checksand balances between individual architects working onsingle buildings of a campus in the interests of the totalcampus plan. He cites the University of Chicago methodof planning consultants reviewing all actions as oneway of achieving campus unity."At the Law School and the Women's Dormitoriesat Chicago we deliberately continued the existing ma­terial-limestone-and the vertical scale. The LawSchool group represents a meticulous effort to createa mass sympathetic to the surrounding buildings."As the South Campus project is under considerationand other campus buildings on the rise, the Hyde Park­Kenwood urban renewal plan to the north of campusis reaching advanced stages of completion. Adoptedby the City Council in March of 1955, the plan has8 brought international attention to Chicago because it isone of the largest, most imaginative and aggressiveexamples of its type in the nation. Acquisition of 662target parcels under the urban renewal plan has beenstepped up, with more than 170 buildings alreadyacquired. A $2,000,000 shopping center and morethan half of 240 townhouses planned have been com­pleted. The two 10-story apartment buildings in theHyde Park "A" project are nearly completed, withsome of the apartments occupied. Rehabilitation of theneighborhood is also progressing at a rapid pace.While Harper, that dreamer of "the great univer­sity," would not have been the least shocked bY'today's campus, some of the academic changesthat have taken place over the years might havedisturbed him. He would probably be consoledby today's College program, and the renewed em­phasis on active scholarship and research amongits faculty members:1951-1961: the years of the Great Discussion. Thoughnow that the heat of battle is past, it is generally con­ceded that the change was all inevitable. The opposingcamps were characterized in the 1954 Quadrangle ClubRevels (these lyrics by John Hutchens) in this way:The College faculty member in a song called "Cur­riculi, Curricula":Some think that schools were made for fun and frolicBut never I, but never I.Some think a college should be melancholicWith syllabi, with syllabi.But I, I like to spend my time in counting. The fourteen comps, the fourteen comps,And keep their number from forever mounting,The fourteen comps, the fourteen comps.And the representative of the graduate level:But we're always true to the College in our fashion,Yes, we're always true to the College in our way.But the greatest advocates of the status quo were,as always, the students. And if curriculum changescame, students came, too-and in even greater num­bers. But (while we're quoting Revels) the old studenttraditions remained.

I was remindedof one of them the other day when I attended a con­ference of educators who were worrying about "HowTo Introduce the Entering Student to the IntellectualLife of the College." It seems that in many collegesthe intellectual life-if .it exists at all-is the last thingthe student expects to meet, or would recognize if hesaw it. That has never been a problem of ours, eitherbefore or since the changes. The public postures of ourstudents-the attitudes they adopt in student govern­ment, the Orientation Board, or the Maroon-are veryreassuring. More belligerent guardians of the intel­lectual life are not to be found on any campus in thecountry!Our changes were, of course, in harmony with thesetraditions. We were not interested in swapping egg­heads for blockheads. But we were interested in im­proving the jobs we were doing,A broad review of our policies, spread over severalyears and involving all aspects of undergraduate life,have led to several developments.We began by reducing the quantity (but not therange) of the compulsory general education in ourprogram while continuing the effort to improve itsquality. The reduction in amount was dictated by theneed to provide for elective choice, and for a satis­factory concentration, within the framework of afour-year program. The monolithic system of generaleducation which we once boasted retains its fascinationfor some minds (including a few of our present studentswho know it only by rumor and legend), but it couldnot survive the scrutiny of a faculty which was readyto consider the legitimate claims of all the best students.The best commentary on the efforts of staffs toimprove their offering in this area is the present stateof such courses as Humanities 1. Deservedly famousas it always was, it is better today than it has everbeen.Next, we tackled the question of sovereignty. Whodecides what sort of education undergraduates get? Thetypical pattern in American universities is the sover­eignty of departments, which tends to treat undergradu­ates as inferior beings to graduate students, and teach­ing as less important than research. As a principle ofgovernment;· we rebelled against this long ago. Anotheralternative-our own invention-is the sovereignty ofa "teachers' college." It was through this agency thatWe made our reputation in. general education; but wediscovered that the isolation of both the teachers andtheir students from the life of the departments haddistinct drawbacks.The mobilization of its best talents in the interestsof undergraduates is one of the hardest problems whichany university faces, and our experience-a becomingone for a pioneer institution-is a rich commentary onthe possible solutions. What we are now developingis a new contribution-an independent college facultywith the freedom to concentrate on the needs of under­graduates, but with departmental members in its midstMARCH, 1961 Christine McGuire (Soc.

Heiserman, director of Summer Quarter program (Cobb 400)Penrith Goff (German)The unofficial faculty loungeEdward Rosenheim, Jr. (Humanities, Examiner)10 and close relations with the departments that surroundit.In keeping with this solution, we have revised theCollege criteria for appointments and promotions.Though there is room in the College for the giftedteacher who would not be appointed in a department,we normally expect our faculty to be interested inscholarly performance as well as teaching-not out ofany irrational piety for Ph.D.'s or publication, butbecause the interests of undergraduates are, generallyspeaking, best served by this blend of qualifications ...The range of informal education-all the experiencewhich goes on outside the classroom, insofar as it is alegitimate concern of the administration-has also beenreviewed. Some needs, such as friendlier contacts withthe faculty, more exposure to exciting visitors, and aless austere attitude to the pleasures of life, are alreadybeing met. Others, such as better facilities for studentactivities, or the opportunity to browse among bookswhich would be provided by a decent undergraduatelibrary, have still to be met. The traditions of infor­mality, individualism, and responsible self-governmentwhich characterize our extracurricular life are amongthe best things about us-but they have not always hadas wide a field as they deserve.There is one wider prospect for these qualities whichinvites a separate mention-the development of a resi­dential college. We have recently extended our require­ments so that all entering women, not living at home,will spend four years in residence and all entering men,two years (fraternities counting as residences). In goodChicago spirit, some of my best friends among thestudents are attacking' this as an infringement of free­dom. And so it is. But the freedom to deprive oneselfof the education involved in community life, and of thesafety which it affords women in any American city, isnot something which we are interested in indulging.Finally, we have taken a look at our physical premises.A good education can be enjoyed in a bad building,and a bad education can make a mockery of a fine,glossy new one. The College is the last place to requireinstruction in these priorities. But with a sober respectfor the opinion of civilized mankind and a budget whichoffers few temptations, we are crawling gratefully outof some of the holes we inhabited.While the general education segment of the cur­riculum of the "new" College has been condensed,there has been added to the catalog a wide-rangingselection of new electives. Chairman Thomas Rihatells about the new year-long Social Science sec­tion on Russian Civilization:Our course is designed on the assumption thatRussia is more than Sputnik and less than Mr. Khrush­chev's performance at the United Nations, and its pastcan be traced with profit before the revolution of 1917.and that some of the glories of Russian culture dateto the period before Peter the Great. Russian civiliza­tion is a thing of value and beauty, worthy of studyfor its inherent appeal, quite apart from its currentimportance in world affairs.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEThroughout the centuries Russia has been predomi­nantly an agrarian country. But peasants do not writememoirs, and it is exceedingly difficult to capture theessentially unchanging and passive rhythm of the land.In our course the village will be read about, discussed,and studied; hut in terms of civilization it is a lessrewarding subject of inquiry than the cities from whichculture radiated over the land.When we deal with Russia, we are fortunate inhaving at least one major city which can legitimatelyrepresent each significant period of Russian history andculture. We begin with Kiev, on the Dnieper, whichleads into the Black Sea and thus to Constantinople,the fountain of much of early Russian culture. Russiancivilization begins with the introduction of Christianityand the Byzantine inheritance that came with it. Westudy Kievan Russia to have a concrete illustration ofthis. This rich and promising epoch of the tenth tothirteenth centuries comes to an abrupt end when thevast Mongol armies sweep into Russia from the east andremain as lords of the Russian plain until the fifteenthcentury. During this relatively dark period there isonly one center of culture which maintains its way oflife in Russia-the northern city of N ovgorod, neveroccupied by the Mongols and connected through itstrade with the Baltic and western Europe. Again thiscity is a center of culture-with its own school of artand literature which we shall study in some detail.But in the heart of Russia the city of Moscow slowlygathers strength, eventually engulfs Novgorod, over­throws the Mongol yoke, and establishes the most in­ward-looking cultural center of Russia-Muscovy, aland deliberately cut off from outside contacts. It ishere that are built those foundations of autocracy andmessianism that continue to manifest themselves in Rus­sian behavior ever since. And yet this same Moscowproduced the sublime beauty of the Russian icon andthe enduring jewel known as the Moscow Kremlin. Itis with the city of. Moscow in the sixteenth and seven­teenth centuries that we end the first quarter of ourcourse.The new capital of St. Petersburg and its cosmopoli­tan civilization are the forms of the second part of thecourse. It is the St. Petersburg or imperial period ofRussian history that contributes that chief glow of cul­ture which all civilized mankind has come to value andappreciate. The glories of Russian literature, music,and ballet belong to the nineteenth and twentieth cen­tury and are now a secure part of our own tradition. Wewill therefore quite legitimately spend an entire quarteron -the period 1700-1900, since it is the true floweringof what we have called "Russian civilization."In the third quarter w� will come to the Russianrevolution and the Soviet period. No matter what one'sview of 1917, it would be difficult to deny that the eventsof that fateful year were perhaps the crucial moment ofthis century and that their effects are still with us. Weshall study the impact of the revolution on Russian cul­ture, trying to assess the new against the old and morefamiliar. We anticipate no dearth of controversy whichwill help sharpen the students' minds and will make ussee the often confusing present in a clearer perspective.The work of the course is divided into readings,which are discussed in the three sections we have es-MARCH, 1961 Meyer Isenberg (Humanities) leaves his "ceJII' to visit Thomas Riha.11tablished, and weekly lectures that treat topics of sig­nificant interest in the development of Russian civiliza­tion. A specially designed syllabus now in mimeo­graphed form in three parts brings to the students im­portant contributions to our knowledge of Russia whichwould be difficult to locate for beginners. In addition,students read the best English-language literature onthe subject, get acquainted with Russian literary classicsin translation, and see the artistic production of theRussian genius on paper, on slides, and by film. Weare also putting a good deal of emphasis on the geog­raphy of Russia, since it is impossible to understandthe Russian past without an appreciation of its basicphysical features. Maps will be constantly in use.In the lectures we are utilizing all the rich talent thatthe University possesses in its departments and divi­sions. As an illustration it might be useful to give a listof the lecturers for the Autumn Quarter. We began thecourse with an introduction to the Russian heritage bymyself. The following week we noted the geographicfeatures of the Soviet Union in a lecture by ChauncyHarris of the Department of Geography. The third con­tribution was made by a Russian medievalist now visit­ing the University-the historian Oswald Backus, of theUniversity of Kansas, who spoke on feudalism in Russia.This was followed by a talk on the Russian language bya linguist, Professor Edward Stankiewicz. ProfessorHugh McLean, a specialist on Russian literature, spoketwice on the achievements of Russian medieval poetry,prose, and folklore. A specialist on the economy of Rus­sia, Arcadius Kahan, described Russian serfdom and thebeginning of industrialization. Russian art before Peterwas illustrated by Professor Harold Haydon of the De­partment of Art, who showed slides. An additionallecture was devoted to the showing of a film and slideson the architecture of old Russian cities.Admission credentials have changed in this coun­try according to Director 0/ Admissions CharlesD. O'Connell. Here is his report on getting intothe University 0/ Chicago:"Recently, Dean Eugene Wilson of Amherst Collegedescribed three stages of admissions into which all ofthe roughly one thousand accredited four-year collegesand universities of the country can be placed. All ofthem have passed or will pass from one stage to the nextin sequential order, although the length of time spentin each will vary.Stage 1. Come One, Come All. A warm body and acheck that wouldn't bounce are about the only require­ments for admission even today in about sixty per centof the 1,000 colleges in the United States. Students withconditions or failures can make them up in the college.But it is important to remember that all universities inAmerica have spent some time in this stage.Stage 2. Come When Prepared. In this stage of historyin admissions, an institution sets up a semi-selective ad­missions operation and imposes standards of one kindor another, loose or demanding, that a candidate must12 meet before he will be accepted. If he meets them,there is no further question. In the '30's, a small num­ber of colleges, principally eastern, were thus able toinsist upon certain standards set by their faculties. Un­der this new policy of admitting only those who wereapparently academically qualified, it is worth notingthat attrition rates dropped, sometimes by as much as50% or more. Today, Dean Wilson estimates, about aquarter of America's accredited institutions are in thisStage 2.Stage 3. The Try-and-Get-in Period. By a fairly in­formed estimate, there are perhaps a hundred collegesand universities in America in this stage today. It isfairly recent even for them. No less a person thanWilbur Bender, who has presided magisterially overadmissions at Harvard for many years, remarked notlong ago that until after World War II Harvard had notexperienced 'selective' admissions in the real sense ofthe word."This is difficult for many of us to face. For one thing,it may mean that when we ask ourselves why ouryoung�ters are not able today to get into the collegethat we attended, the answer may be NOT that our kidisn't as bright as we were, NOT that the college is con­ducting a personal vendetta against us, but simply thatstandards have gone up, that the competition has in­creased, and that the bodies have to be considerablywarmer nowadays. Not only do the bodies have to bewarm, but for admission to the private colleges thatwould normally be thought of as Chicago's natural com­petition-Harvard, Yale, Princeton, the smaller IvyLeague colleges-the bodies must be able to present afairly impressive dossier of credentials: a better-than­just-good high school average, the ability to do well ona demanding battery of verbal and mathematical tests,and evidence of enough enthusiasm in some extra­curricular activity-be it music, student government orathletics-to distinguish them from other candidateswith equally good academic credentials."Possibly, because of the genius of our founders andthe munificence of our donors, Chicago scarcely stoppedto take breath in the 'Come One, Come All' stage.Fortunately or unfortunately, however, Chicago lingeredunconscionably long in the 'Come When Prepared'stage. And, quite candidly, it has been only since1956 or 1957 that the natural forces of evolution andsome very determined work on our part have resultedin the University's moving more and more surely intoStage 3, on the door of which, writ large in the bloodof fallen admissions officers who gave their all to thecause, is the sign: 'TRY AND GET IN.'"Is this good? I am not at all sure. For one thing,it may well mean that from here on in, Chicago willnot be able to take as many of the noble admissionrisks that it has taken in times past, and which, on therare occasions when they turned out to be successful,made the admissions committee breathe happily ontheir crystal ball as they repolish it. On the other hand,it puts us in distinguished company. And, from a per­sonal point of view, it means that I shall be spared thehours of agonizing I have gone through these pastTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEyears puzzling over what is to me the most inexplicablequestion of all. No expert on adolescent psychologyhas yet been able to explain to me why it is that themore demanding a college seems to be, the more diffi­cult it seems to be to get into, the more attractive itbecomes. I am now spared finding an answer, forChicago is now faced with the blessing, or the curse,of being-in the eyes of high school seniors acrossthe country-a 'prestige' college."Mr. O'Connell concludes that our admission standardsare no lower-and indeed, by all statistical evidence,even higher, than they have been at any time in theUniversity's past. Today's applicant faces a stern anal­ysis of his high school record, a barrage of tests, andusually more than one personal interview. Where onceadmissions counsellors asked what subjects he hadstudied and how well he had done in them, today theyalso ask quesions like the following:1. Does the candidate seem to be the kind of personwho would be able to conduct himself well inany kind of social situation?2. Does he appear to you to be a person who couldstand up to and even enjoy highly challengingacademic pressures?3. Has he contributed anything of value to his ownschool or community?4. Has he developed any well defined interests inliterature, art or music?5. What does he expect the University to do for himoutside of the curriculum?6. What magazines and newspapers does he readand does he make any value judgments on them?7. Does there appear to be anything in his relationswith his family, or with others, likely to standin the way of his own development as a studentat the University?8. If you know that he is applying to other colleges,please list them and indicate where, in youropinion, the University of Chicago probably ranksamong them in the candidate's order of choice.Undeterred by such obstacles the applicants continue to come.However, it is a mistake to think that there has been a greatexplosion in the size of the student body at Chicago. Statisticalcomparisons over the years are almost impossible; e.g., someyears students taking one divisional level class a week for creditin the downtown center were listed as graduate students-otheryears they were entered in other categories, for mar.y years bach­elor's degrees were granted by some of the divisions-thus, astudent could be registered for part of a year in the College, andfor part of the year in a division and twice in the enrollmentstatistics. The best estimates are that in recent years the totalnumber of students has remained about steady-2150 under­graduates and 3650 graduates-and this has been just aboutcapacity for the local housing facilities. (Harper's Universityopened with a total of 594 students=including 166 graduatestudents. And that was probably 594 more than he was equippedto house as they were quartered in the Hats that are now beingtorn down on Fifty-fifth Street!)If today's student is pr01?:�hly brighter, he also certainly musti'i>be more resourceful, for he' must be able to swing the tuition'payments. Records of tuition per quarter go back to 1908, whenit was a paltry $40. In 1916, it went up to $50; in 1921, $60;in 1926, all the way to $100. Not until 1946 was it againMARCH, 1961 raised: to $110. From 1948 to 1951 it was $150; from then onthere were hikes up to today's $350.But the reason the students have always come and always,paid is the faculty. There has been an explosion in their numberssince the war years. In 1930, the total faculty was 439. In 1950it was 803, and today it is 858. Among these are 333 full pro-fessors, as compared to 247 in 1950 and 178 in 1930. 'As the chairman of our Board of Trustees, Glen Lloyd hassaid, the main interest we have, the main reason for existing,is the absolute top scholarship of our University. It is oftendifficult to describe this scholarship. When a student of MarshallStone was once asked just what Professor Stone has done, all hecould reply was, "Well, his work is so classic, most people' thinkhe's dead."Chancellor Beadle has said that his primary concern will ,p�with the faculty. There are two name professorships now wflitingto be filled, the William S. Gray and the Schevill DistinguishedService Professorship. Chancellor Kimpton once observed thatduring his ten years as Chancellor, 66 percent of the staff· hadbeen appointed. Today, 18 percent of the faculty will be eligiblefor retirement in the next ten years. As Mr. Kimpton observed,"It is a terrifying thought, that literally a university can be 'madeor broken in a decade." It can be broken or made ..13If the distinction of a university rests in its faculty,perhaps the final test of a university falls to itstop professors.

Instead of cages, each specieswill have room to roam within a givenarea, uncaged."Study of animal behavior in cagesis often no more significant than studyof man confined to prison population,"according to Eckhard Hess, supervisorof the new laboratory and professorof psychology.The one-story brick laboratory,scheduled for completion in July, isbeing built at a cost of $160,000. Itis located behind the Whitman Labora­tory building at 915 E. 57th Street. ANational Science Foundation grant of$80,000, another $35,000 grant fromthe Rockefeller Foundation, togetherwith aid from the United States PublicHealth Service and funds raised bythe University are making constructionpossible.Research will be sponsored jointlyby the departments of psychology andzoology. Various patterns of behaviorwill be recorded and catalogued simul­taneously on movie film and sound tapein research projects. "The new facilitywill be used to study total behaviorof animals on a comparative basis,"according to Howard Hunt, professorand chairman of the department ofpsychology.INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH-A predic­tion of a slowdown in industrial re­search during the 1960's if present taxpolicies remain in effect was made thisJanuary by Yale Brozen, professor ofEconomics and Director of Research,Graduate School of Business. Mr. Bro­zen said that "the 17 per cent rate ofgrowth of the past decade will be cutto less than half that rate, to aboutseven per cent, unless heavy taxes fall­ing on investment income, such as thecorporate earnings tax, are reduced."He said two forces stimulated indus­trial research in the 1950's. "One wasthe change in tax laws in 1954 whicheliminated the excess profits tax, pro­vided for accelerated depreciation and18 allowed a dividend tax credit to par­tially offset the double taxation of in­come earned by owners of commonstock. The other was the increase ingovernment funds made available forresearch in 1956."Research management is now beingtightened because of declining profit­ability, and more attention is beingturned to process improvement andbasic research. Research and develop­ment expenditures are being substitutedfor capital expenditures as a more eco­nomic means of increasing sales andproductivity. It is becoming possibleto increase output and productivity asmuch with $3 worth of equipment andone dollar of research as can be donewith $5 worth of equipment and noresearch and development."APPOINTMENTS- Edward A.

Johnson, vice-president forscientific affairs of the University ofChicago, said "The .University of Chi­cago hopes that it can make a substan­tial contribution to the research effortsco-ordinated by IDA in the nationalinterest. We know that our affiliationwith this distinguished group of insti­tutions will be of mutual benefit."Mr. Johnson noted that the U niver­sity of Chicago provides a unique cen­tral setting for some of the world's mostadvanced scientific studies. Within theframework of the University's fourdivisions-Biological Sciences, PhysicalSciences, Social Sciences and Human­ities-and its seven professional schools,more than 20 research organizationsexist. They engage in activities rang­ing from cancer investigations to nuclearstudies, from sociological opinion sur­veys to computer development.He pointed out that one of the Uni­versity of Chicago's research activitiesis the Laboratory for Applied Scienceswhich is concerned with operations anal­ysis, systems analysis, systems devel­opment, solid-state physics, electronphysics, radiation physics and high tem­perature physics. This laboratory isunder the direction of Frank Bothwell,one of America's leading missile plan­ners. Mr. Bothwell played a leadingrole in the advance planning of thePolaris submarine missile and in dis­cussions convincing the U. S. Navy toexpedite development of this missile.Other members of the Institute forDefense Analyses are: California Insti­tute of Technology, Pasadena, Calif.;Case Institute of Technology, Cleveland,0.; Columbia University, New YorkCity; Massachusetts Institute of Tech­nology, Cambridge, Mass.; Universityof Michigan, Ann Arbor; PennsylvaniaState University, State College, Pa.;Stanford University, Palo Alto, Calif.;and Tulane University, New Orleans,La.The IDA was created about five yearsago at the request of the Departmentof Defense as a new means by whichMARCH, 1961 NEWS O'F the quadranglesgovernment might tap the. reserv�ir ofscientific talent represented or influ­enced by the nation's academic institu­tions. The general formula of the Insti­tute is to accept a defined problem (orto define one itself), assemble from itsresources a company of the best tech­nical talent in that field, and arrive ata solution by scientific means.The last annual report from IDA ob­served that "involvement of scientistsand scientific methods in the solutionof military operational problems hascreated a new branch of science, vari­ously called Operations Research, 0I?er­ations Analysis, Weapons Evaluation,or the like. . ."It noted, too, that its largest recenteffort continued to be the support ofthe Weapons Evaluation Systems Group.The "workload put upon WSEG by theJoint Chiefs of Staff and the Director ofDefense Research is a relentless one­necessarily so-not only continuing togrow in quantity, but constantly sharp­ening the challenge of our technicalcompetence. Weapons evaluation islargely a matter of selection. As tech­nology presents a continuously wideningkeyboard of possibilties, selection of acourse of action, or an avenue of devel­opment, necessarily at the expense ofothers of competitive promise, is ofever-increasing consequence."Among other special tasks undertakenrecently by IDA were (1) participationin the work of the special disarmamentpolicy committee headed by Charles A.Coolidge and supported by the Depart­ments of State and Defense; (2) di­gestion and summarization of the workof a number of contractors studying cer­tain particularly troublesome aspects ofinter-continental ballistic missiles andthe problems they represent to defense;and (3) at the request of the Secretaryof Defense, increased its efforts withfaculty members in NATO nations; and( 4) support of study and conferenceson the application of game theory todisarmament discussions.A MOTHER'S LOT - Dr. C. KnightAldrich, professor and chairman of theDepartment of Psychiatry at the Uni­versity of Chicago, describes a good proportion of housewives as among"the world's most overworked and leastunderstood people."He told a meeting of the MichiganState Medical Society this fall that gen­eral practitioners should give specialconsideration to the woman who dis­plays the 'tired mother syndrome.'"Whether or not prescriptions for treat­ment for specific ailments are indicated,she needs the understanding that aninterested physician can give."Although her husband's work weekhas become progressively shorter, mosthousewives still work a 90 hour week-as mothers, cooks, purchasing agents,maids, companions, teachers, chauffeurs,nurses and dozens of other part-timeoccupations to minister to the family'sneeds. The relief that household appli­ances, canned goods, frozen foods, andother labor-saving devices have giventhe housewife is balanced by the reduc­tion in available services and the extratime she must give her children if sheis to live up to modern concepts ofmotherhood," he said."From the moment most housewiveswake up in the morning every memberof the family expects mother to give,give, give," Dr. Aldrich continued. "Itstarts right at the breakfast table withmother taking orders, preparing andserving, working for the rest of thefamily, not one of whom stops to con­sider that mother might have needsof her own.""The crowning blow comes at din­ner time," he maintained, "when fatherexploiting the hard day he has had atthe office, claims his share of mother' sexhausted emotional responses. All thiswould be easier to bear if mother's jobhad the same prestige as father's. Butonly gradually are we overcoming tradi­tional prejudices and according motherthe recognition she deserves."Meanwhile, failure to recognize thesignificance of her contribution onlyadds a social burden to the physicaland psychological burden she bears,"he said."Everyone concerned - children,spouse, friends and the family physiciantoo-needs to recognize that whenmother complains of fatigue, she usual­ly has g09d reason." •19ANNUALREUNIONJune 9-10, 196120 The All-Alumni Luncheon,FEATURING A MAJOR ADDRESS BYCHANCELLQR GEORGE WELLS BEADLEArgonne National Laboratory tourMusic by Chicago ComposersConsumer MotivationNew Nations & the New World OrderThe State of the UniversityGeriatrics ResearchThe Chancellor's Open HousePutting a Man Into SpaceRadiation TherapyAmerican Foreign PolicySocial Welfare-Policy & PracticeHyde Park-Kenwood Tours & LecturesThe Making of a NovelClass ReunionsThe 5th Annual Communications DinnerANDThe 51st Annual Inter-Fraternity SingTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEI11-24MARION F.

Beforehis performance of "Pre-Shakespearian Drama," sponsored by the UniversityTheatre, Mr. Geer (William A. Ghere, '24), reminised about the dramagroup at U of C of which he was president for two years. Throughout the20's the group was variously known as the Gargoyles, Tower Players andthe University of Chicago Dramatics Assn. It grew continually more activefrom 1922 to 1924 under the leadership of Bill Ghere, who was first actor,then star, and director of many of its plays. Now "Will Geer" is listed inWho's Who in America as an actor and director of stage, cinema, radio andtelevision, and is currently touring the country in the Stratford Company'sproduction of "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
