BOORSTIN:TheAmericanImagePeople, I believe, are inclined to exaggerate the importance of external revolutions-political and technological revolutions-and are inclined, I think, togive insufficient importance to internal revolutions,revolutions of the mind and spirit.There has been taking place ill' this country duringthe past century a kind of revolution of which we havea clue when we talk about the American image. Thebest way to describe it in a phrase would be to saythat this has been the age of the decline of the idealand the rise of the image. If we can understand thisphenomenon, that is, why people no longer talk aboutideals as much as they did, and why they talk as muchabout images as they do, we will, I think, have comeclose to understanding our own problem in this countryand the problem which confronts us as we face theworld.First, let me remind you of some of the circumstancesthat have led to the rise of the image. Most of thesephenomena are very familiar, but all of them are madepossible by the facts of American wealth, Americanliteracy, and the American standard of living. Itwould be impossible for us to make and receive asmany images as we do if we were not as wealthy andas literate as we are.Recently the phenomenon has occurred which I liketo describe as the Graphic Revolution. This revolutionwhich has taken place in the last century, for the firsttime in human history, has made it possible to makeprecise images of men's faces, to reproduce eventssoon after they occur, and to reproduce the humanvoice.Then, of course, there was the important factor whichhad been operating from the eighteenth century whichwas a by-product of American wealth, of what cameto be called the "American system of production." Massproduction, the production of a system of items withAPRIL, 1961 a system of interchangeable parts, made it possible toproduce in large numbers precisely similar objects.The growth of the mass market would have been impossible without the growth of advertising and withoutthe competition for markets which produced the largeenterprises. Advertising grew up partly from the needto develop, expand, and secure the market and in aneffort to produce apparent distinctions between precisely similar or nearly similar competing products.The competition among cigarettes, of course, is avery good recent example, and a former citizen of Chicago, Albert Lasker, whose biography has recentlybeen written by John Gunther, was one of the leadingfigures in the production of these images.The building-up of the brand name, the very conceptof a brand name, was a concept which would havebeen impossible or unimportant in a country that wasnot wealthy.Along with these developments then came what wemight call the "iconography of speed." The great competition for attention put a premium on the attentiongetting. The rise of the automobile and the billboardwere both incentives to produce images that couldcatch attention quickly and that could be indeliblyimprinted on the memory.The multiplication of magazines and the increasein the size of magazines were incentives to producingimages which could be remembered even if they wereonly fleetingly seen as one leafed the pages of a magazine.Then came the development of certain of the images which became very familiar to us-the image ofthe dog listening to his master's voice, the big stickof the lady on the Dutch Cleanser box, the SmithBrothers Cough Drop sign, the yawning boy of theFisk Tire ("Time To Retire"), the Arrow Collar man,and so on.BUT TOGETHER WITH THE GROWTH OF theimage there has come the decline of the ideal, and Imean the word and the idea that go with the word"ideal." Ideals have become "corny." I was interestedto discover in a dictionary of American slang, an excellent one recently published, that the word "corny" cameinto use about 1935; that it originally derived from theword "corn-fed," meaning music in the country stylewhich was out of date or hillbilly, and by out of datethey mean in the style of pre-1925.3There is, by the way, an illustration in connectionwith this definition, a quotation from George Raft, who,regarding the word "corny," says: "To illustrate, gangkillings are corny or old-fashioned these days."But the very concept of ideal has become corny.With the rise of the notion of rationalization, with thedevelopment of the ideals of Karl Marx, who persuadedpeople to believe that their philosophies were nothingbut the reasons for their economic interests, and withthe rise of the teachings of Sigmund Freud, who alsoprovided people with an elaborate apparatus for explaining why they did not really believe the reasonsthat they professed-with all this there has come anincreasing distrust of the ideal. Idealism has been onthe decline, and people come increasingly to think ofthe notion of an ideal in a reverse fashion. Instead ofthinking, as we used to, of the image as a representation of an ideal, people now come to think of the idealas the projection or generalization of an image.We are told that our ideal father, our notion of whatan ideal father is, is nothing but a projection of ourimage of our own father, of what he was or what hewas not. But, in either case, we are led to distrust theconcept of an ideal as an abstraction, a conception ofperfection toward which people can strive. Along withthe decline of idealism there has come the rise of thesocial sciences; the rise of statistics, of the concepts ofnorms, modes, and averages; and the descriptive approach which has grown up with the rise of sociology.This is a development which, of course, has been takingplace prominently at 1126 East Fifty-ninth Street, theSocial Science Research Building, where I have myoffice. That building was built on the idea that, by accumulating information about society, one could arriveat important new truths. But the very process of accumulation required patterns of generalization which ledpeople to distrust the ideal. Instead they came to buildup an image from the "mode," that is, the most frequently recurring type. Now it becomes possible todescribe the Villager or the Suburban Housewife or theJunior Executive-these are caricatures of the notionof the social scientist, but, nevertheless, I think they arecaricatures at which many social scientists aim, thenotion being that, if you accumulate enough particularinformation, you will be able to create an image intowhich the individual may fit.Now the development of the concept of status, andespecially all our talking about status in this country,I think, also encourages us to think about ourselves aspeople who mayor may not fit into an image ratherthan as people in pursuit of an ideal. The notion of thenorm, the average, or the mode which the social scientistbuilds up tends to have the effect of leading us to imitate ourselves, of leading us to discover what it is reallylike to be a junior executive, so that we can really be theway a junior executive should be. But, in discoveringwhat a junior executive should be, we are inclined touse statistical data which describe the way juniorexecutives really are. Thus the concept of the statistical norm tends to lead to the process of self-imitation.All these developments have led then to a tendencyfor us to think of things concretely, in relation to pictures and images, and a tendency for us to distrust ab-4 straction--anyway, to dislike describing things in relation to a perfect ideal.Let me very briefly contrast the sociological differences, that is, the differences in effect of thinking aboutimages as contrasted with thinking about ideals. Someof these notions may be obvious to you, but let meremind you of them. The word "image," which comesfrom the Latin imago, is related to the Latin wordimitari, which means "to imitate;" and, among the dictionary definitions, you will find the definition that animage is an artificial imitation or representation of theexternal form of any object, especially of a person.We can explore some of the implications of our beliefin images if we would just consider for a moment thenotion of the corporate image. I would like here tostart from a statement that was made at a recent meeting of the American Management Association in NewYork on October 27, 1960, when Mr. Mack Hanan, whois the managing partner in Mack Hanan & Son, toldthe executives who were enrolled in the course in effective advertising what course they should pursue if theywere concerned with the problem of building a corporate image. He warned them that there were greatdangers in building a positive corporate image. Hesaid that building a positive image might, in fact, domore harm than good. "By its very nature," he said, "nopositive image can be all things to all the corporation'spublics. The sharper and more precise the image, themore likely it will accommodate only certain sub-sections of the corporation's publics by isolating others."He then pointed to the example of the corporationthat had built up an image of being totally efficient butcompletely dehumanized, and he warned: "A dehumanized image discourages present employees, wards offprospective employees and executive recruiters, mayeven discourage certain discerning groups of investors."To avoid the dangers of the positive corporate imagehe recommended creating what he called a "neutralcorporate image," an image which, he said, was "notto be equated with a wishy-washy vague or unplannedimage but which, nevertheless, was neutral."This is the way he defined it. He said, "It is, instead,open-ended. It allows the various corporate publics tobe drawn into the corporate picture. A neutral corporateimage is an invitation to a management's public for asuspension of their critical judgment. Middle of theroad as it is, the neutral image attracts all but themarginal fringe groups at either attitudinal extreme;but, because it is impartial, it repels none."N ow, from the things he assumed about a corporateimage, I think we can say that an image in the sensein which we use it as applied to an institution has thefollowing characteristics:First, an image in our society is synthetic; that is, it issomething which is planned. It is created on purposeto attain a particular objective or to make a certainkind of impression.Second, a corporate image or any other social imageto be useful must be believable. It is useless if peoplewill not believe it, and it has no effect if people do notaccept it as standing for the institution.An illustration of this, of course, is the notion, theimage, of Ivory Soap as being 99.44 per cent pure. ThatTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEwas considered to be a master stroke of advertisingbecause it made the image more believable. If you hadsaid it was perfectly pure, it would not have been sobelievable.Third, I would sayan image is passive. The objectof the image is to induce people to fit into it. An imageis not what we strive toward, but it is what we fit into.It is supposed to be congruent with reality.Moreover an image is concrete. It serves its purposeonly if it appeals to the senses. "The skin you love totouch." It must be more graspable than any specific listof purposes. Therefore, it must be limited.Furthermore, an image mustbe simplified. It must besimpler than the object it represents in order to excludefrom people's thinking undesirable aspects of the object which is thought about. Yet, it must be ambiguous.It must not offend. It must suit the future unpredictedpurposes and unpredicted changes in taste.Now, by contrast to this concept of an image let meremind you of what we mean by an ideal. An ideal, ofcourse, is much more difficult to define. It is a very oldfashioned notion, but it is related to the notion of anidea, and in the dictionary it is defined as a conceptionof something in its most excellent or perfect formsomething that exists only in the mind. I think wecan say that, by contrast to an image, an ideal isnot synthetic. When we think of an ideal, we think ofsomething that was already there. It was created bytradition or by God or by the past. It is not simplified.It is much less ambiguous than an image. It is less passive. An ideal is something we strive toward actively,not something we fit into .. The believability of an ideal. is irrelevant. In fact, we may speak of some things asideals precisely because people do not believe in them,and the need for them comes from the fact that in theirperfect form they may be in a sense not believable.An image, moreover, is something that we have aclaim on. It must serve our purposes, hut an ideal issomething that somehow has a claim on us.IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE CONCEPT OF imageas contrasted with ideal has reached out from the worldof commerce into the world of education and politics.Our churches, our charities, our universities-all ofthem now seek for favorable images. They want peopleto have favorable images of them. Our national politics,I must say with dismay and disgust-even horror-hasbecome a competition for images or between imagesrather than between ideals. The growth of televisionand the increasing prominence of television in ourcampaigns have simply underlined this fact,There are many things that one could say about theimportance of the shift from ideal to image, but I wantto mention briefly only of the significance of this shift,for our relation to other peoples in the world, peoplesabroad. I am going to suggest that in our relation topeople elsewhere we have become the victims of thisshift and that the shift from ideal to image has beenso important, so fundamental, that, by preoccupyingourselves simply with the creation of favorable images,APRIL, 1961 we may be defeating the very purpose at which we aim.In a word, when one goes abroad, I think one finds,and I think you can say this in every country-at leastI can say this in every country where I have beenAmerican images overshadow American ideals. Theimage of America overshadows the ideals of America.How has this happened?Now, some of the explanations are so obvious, evensimple-minded, that one would be inclined to doubttheir significance. The most important single factor inmaking images of America overshadow ideals of America has been the prevalence of American movies abroad.Our wealth, our technological precocity, our ability tomake motion pictures that are attractive to people elsewhere-all these have made it possible to provide people with images of America, to provide this to peoplewho have never heard of the ideals of America andwho do not know whether we have any ideals.I recall very well just about eleven months ago whenI was in Bangalore in central India. I was taken bythe man in charge of the United States InformationLibrary there to see the library, and it is a very pleasant library, with an excellent selection of books in it.There were a few people reading in the library. Iasked him about how many people visited the libraryevery day. The gentleman said there were about twohundred and fifty people a day. I did note, however,that some of the people there-c-a. considerable portionof them-had come in to get out of the sun and outof the dust, and some of them were studying theirschool lessons because they were so poor they had noother place to study. Then I asked him what otheramusements there were in Bangalore. He told me therewere five motion-picture houses, and four of thosemotion-picture houses always showed American movies.The people who were reading in the USIA Librarywere a handful, but anyone of these movie houses wereproviding people with images of America at many timesthe rate at which the library was providing them withideas about America.The motion picture is to real life in America, I suggest' what any image is to any product. The motionpicture as seen abroad is synthetic. It is believable.It is passive. It is concrete. It is simplified, and it isambiguous. The world has been flooded with theseimages of America. But, in addition to these unintended images, the products of free enterprise and theoperation of our commerce abroad, we have intentionally spread abroad images of America.Much of our propaganda abroad has taken the formof trying to create an image-we always say, of course,a favorable image of the United States, exhibits ofphotographs of skyscrapers, of farm houses, of farmimplements and farm machinery, of automobiles, ofhouses, of clubs, of churches, and so on, together withmotion pictures, documentary motion pictures of townmeetings, of the American drugstore, of the Americanschool, and of many other things. Even in parts of theworld where people cannot read or read very little,there is probably a more concrete picture of .Iife inAmerica and probably, I believe, a more accurate picture of life in America than in any other country similarly remote from those inhabitants.5Now, an image, I remind you, invites imitation. Aperson wants to fit into it or become a part of it. It issomething to be accepted rather than something tobe modified and applied.I remember very well last winter when I was inDelhi during the International Agricultural Fair. I wentto the American pavilion, which was a beautiful building. It was designed by a Japanese-American architect,and it was just dancing on the landscape there in thesun, and, as I walked through, it was very neatly arranged, deftly arranged, and one sight that impressedme particularly was the sight of the American farmkitchen.The American farm kitchen was a dazzling whiteand-chromium spectacle which included a disposal, adeep freeze, an automatic washer and dryer, an electricstove, and, of course, a refrigerator; and walking before it there was a procession of Indian peasants. Thewomen had hanging out of their ears most of their bankaccounts. That is, they had accumulated the gold inobjects, and some of them had objects through theirnoses. They were carrying children, and almost all ofthem were bare footed. They stood there in bewilderment. What was this? This was an image of America,and this was an almost perfect example of the wayanimage emphasizes irrelevance. The ideal of abundanceor of health or of nourishment was not irrelevant tothese people. They were eager for it. Their starvingchildren in their arms wanted it. A larger banana theywould have understood, but the image of an Americankitchen was meaningless. It was a barrier between themand America.I regret to say that the debate over prestige whichwe have heard a deal of recently could be describedas a debate over whose image appeals most to peoplein the world. Our concern for prestige really showsthe American desire to command respect for. our image.(It is interesting parenthetically to note the etymologyof the word "prestige." The word "prestige" is relatedappropriately to the word "prestidigitation," the wordfor magic, that which creates an illusion. The word"prestigious," if you look it up in the Oxford EnglishDictionary, means deceitful, and not until lately was itused in any other way; but the notion of prestige aswe have used it appropriately enough is in respectto the image we present to them.)Now we have been told again and again that wesuffer in the battle for men's minds because these peoplehave an unfavorable image of life in America and amore favorable image of life among our enemies. Iwill suggest a different answer to this question whywe suffer in. the opinions of peoples elsewhere. It isonly one explanation, but I think it may be an important one.Our problem may be not so much that people havean unfavorable image of us but rather that people knowAmerica through images, while our enemies profit fromthe fact that they are known only, or primarily, throughtheir ideals, that is, through their professed goals ofperfection.We thus suffer unwittingly from our own idolatry,and these are some of the ways in which we suffer.6 The more images we present to people, the more irrelevant and perverse and unattractive they find the ideaand the ideal of America. Why? The image, becauseit invites comparison, is irrelevant. It becomes irrelevant because it invites comparison among people whoare sensible enough to see that the image does notrelate to them. It also suggests arrogance because itsuggests that we are setting ourselves up as a standardfor the world, and even the most belligerent and unrealistic Communist ideals do not seem to do that. Theypresent people with a standard of perfection whichthey are supposed to apply to themselves.The image, because it is concrete, seems narrow andunadaptable. Because the image is a projection of theself, it seems conceited, and it seems static. What people in many parts of the world want today is fluidity.They want something dynamic, something that changes.They do not want an image to fit into.I WOULD SUGGEST THAT ONE of the morals ofwhat I have been saying is that much of what we arenow doing to improve the world's opinion of us has thecontrary effect. The audio-visual aids which we aresending over the world are aids really to the belief inthe irrelevance, the arrogance, the rigidity, and theconceit of America.Inevitably a more prosperous country seems materialist to less prosperous countries. I think it will seemodd to future historians that, in this age, the only historical movement which. has explicitly based itself onmaterialism should be called "idealistic," whereas Ournation, which was built on ideals, should be consideredto be materialist. I think that one of the explanationsfor this is in this accident of the multiplication of imagesand in the fact not only that we suffer from materialism,which I do not think we suffer from in this country,but that, in a sense we suffer from idolatry. What arethe inevitable consequences of this? Are we caught init? Is there nothing that we can do about it?I think we should remember the fact that the multiplication of images has made us the richest country inthe world and has dispersed opportunity more equallyand more widely in America than it has ever been dispersed before. This does not alter the fact that wecannot extend the American continent and that wecannot include others in American history. If we mustspeak to other people in the world, I think we canspeak to them in the vocabulary that has built America.America, of all nations in the world, was built in nobody's image. It was the land of the unexpected, theland of unbounded hope, of ideals, of quest for anunknown perfection.We must communicate this which continues to be themotive power in America. I think we must try to communicate it not by being concerned to produce favorable images abroad because these images will comeback to haunt and curse us as I think they are now.We must rather be willing to be more naive and torecount the ideals, the standards of unattainable perfection, which our best Americans in the past and manystill today pursue. •THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINENEW LOST CITY RAMBLERS-BELOW: STUDENT WING·DING PHOTOS: AL HENDERSONFIRSTFOLKSONGFETEAPRIL, 1961 7STUDENT WING-DING8 EVERYBODYPICKS'NSINGSThere's one advantage women have over men;They can go to hell mid come back again.This immortal couplet and many another English broadside and southernmountain ballad have been contributed to our folk repertoire by a single man, ablind, 72-year-old man from Virginia, Horton Barker. He is known to many bvhis records made for the Library of Congress, Alan Lomax, and others. He h�snever sung before an audience before.Frank Proffitt is a farmer. But Frank 'Warner-a professional YMCA secretaryand free-time singer, banjo player and collector of songs-knew him for hisbanjo-playing and singing, and knew he should be heard outside of his farm inNorth Carolina."As many people as possibl�. must be exposed to our folk traditions beforethey die-before TV reaches into the backwoods of Kentucky, before the materialsget lost in the tides of blue grass, blues and pop music that come from our radios,"is the philosophy of the FolkloreSociety according to its president Mike Fleischer.Out of such convictions, the Society reserved Mandel Hall for three nights thisFebruary, and proceeded to put' together a Folklore Festival. In addition toHorton Barker (by everyone's judgement, the star of the show) and Frank Proffitt,the Society presented Roscoe Holcomb, a construction worker by trade, whoappeared professionally for the first time, and Arvella Gray, a blind street singer"discovered" by a member of the society-on 63rd Street.And there were professional performers: The Stanley Brothers, and their "bluegrass" country band; the New Lost City Ramblers, with their songs of theDepression; Alan Mills and Jean Carignan, a Canadian folk singer and countryfiddler; Richard Chase, a teller of tales from North Carolina; Elizabeth Cotton,with traditional Negro blues a'nd spirituals; Memphis Slim and Willie Dixon,a piano-bass blues team; and others well-known to Chicagoans: Inman and Ira,George and Gerry Armstrong, Bob Atcher, Sandy Paton, and Fleming Brown.The Folklore Festival was a sell-out success each of its three nights. But, then,this was to be expected by the largest and most successful student organization.Since its founding in 1953, the Society has always been large and this yearwith over 400 members it is larger than ever. They count among their numberat least a hundred guitars, 50 banjos, 25 mandolins, and miscellaneous harmonicas,autoharps, recorders, kazoos, lutes, and even a washtub bass.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEANDSOMEAREPICKEDTOSINGAPRIL, 1961 9The University of Chicago of 1891was unique among universities. And, itsuniqueness was to be traced largelyto one man: its president, Wm. Rainey Harper.The Scholaras Merchant Princeexcerpts from The Chautauqua Movementpublished by State University of New York Press: March, 1961BY JOSEPH E. GOULDOut of a background of Chautauqua-that movement that pioneered in correspondencecourses, lecture-study groups, reading circlesand the summer tent circuit - and anadmiration for the great business leadersof his day, Harper drew inspirationfor his educational plan. Alumni readersof Milton Mayer's Young Man in a Hurrywill remember "Little Willie" clerking inhis father's store. Perhaps this toowas a beginning ...10 PERHAPS THE ORGANIZATIONAL parallels between Chautauqua and Chicago have been ignored because, although the two institutions looked similar onpaper, they were actually quite different in outlook.One can trace Harper's emphasis on continuous sessions, concentrated doses of study, publication, correspondence work, lecture-study, and adult education tohis connection with the Chautauqua movement. However, the articulation of these elements into a singleplan for formal higher education, and his system for theadministration of that plan, seem to be related less tohis Chautauqua experience than to his belief that theadvances made in his lifetime in the field of industrialorganization should be applicable to higher education.In his unpublished first report to the trustees, Harperstates that the. organization he designed "has more ofthe character of a Railroad Company or an InsuranceCompany than has heretofore characterized the organization of Universities and Colleges. . ." Viewing theUniversity within this frame of reference, many factorsunite to form a consistent pattern. The administrativeofficers and their duties, as outlined by PresidentHarper in Official Bulletin No.1, are strikingly similarto those of a tightly knit, efficient industrial organization, consisting of (apart from the board of directors)the president, the cashier or treasurer, vice-president,works manager or plant director, and shop foremen:In other words, the work has been arranged on a businessbasis, with heads of departments who are held responsible.These heads, while frequently consulting with the Presidentin reference to the particular work of their departments, havebeen given the largest possible freedom.This organization by departments, which Harper believed was "effected more rigidly than in any otherinstitution," was termed by him "advantageous in thatit located responsibility, drew sharp lines, and mademore evident points of strength and weakness."Instances of parallels between the organization andinternal arrangements of the University and majorbusiness enterprises might be multiplied, some of themno doubt merely coincidental. The prestige enjoyedin the last decade of the nineteenth century by businessand industrial leaders was real, however, and PresidentHarper seems to have prided himself on adapting atleast some of their methods of organization to his ownproblems. He was, of course, not alone in his admiration for industrial leaders, for they were realheroes to his generation. Walter Hines Page, editorand later wartime ambassador to Britain, wrote Harperin 1896:In spite of the impressiveness of the meeting at Buffalo, Iwas struck with the fact that there was not a single man norwoman there as far as I could find out, really of first-rateability. I was talking about this to a group of very thoughtfulmen and women at Buffalo, and I will shock you by reportingwhat one of them said: "The truth is there are only three menof first-rate ability engaged in education in the United States,men, that is, as able as railroad presidents, or great manufacturers or great merchants." When the question was askedwho these three men are, the speaker said, "Presidents Eliot,Harper and Jordan."Quite in keeping with the businesslike organizationof the new university was the emphasis on productionTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEwhich was clearly stated in Harper's early plans.Promotion of younger men in the departments will dependmore largely upon the results of their work as investigatorsthan upon the efficiency of their teaching . . . . In otherwords, it is proposed to make the work of investigation primary, the work of giving instruction secondary.Harper was determined that there should be no«sterile routine pedagogues" at· Chicago, and he regarded the graduate schools of his university as thecapstone of his educational scheme. He consideredall other educational institutions, from the kindergartenthrough the college, and including adult and correspondence courses, preliminary to these non-professional or professional graduate schools, where theapproach to knowledge is that of the specialist orinvestigator. Those persons who did not reach thisnirvana-and of course the majority would not-wouldstill have received the best possible training since itwould have been permeated with the «university spirit."Harper never made it quite clear what he meant bythe "university spirit"; perhaps the term was sufficientlymeaningful to him so that to enlarge upon it seemedsuperfluous. Apparently he meant a devotion to, orrespect for, scientific methods of acquiring data andtesting hypotheses without regard for preconceptions.Meanwhile, the great mass of people who could neverbecome researchers might still be taught to wait patiently for a solution to their problems until the stateof exact scientific knowledge had progressed to a pointat which a solution could be scientifically demonstrated.One other facet of Harper's plan for a universityremains to be considered, and that is its scope.In the fall of 1887, when Dr. Strong, of the RochesterTheological Seminary, first expounded his plan for aBaptist super-university to Dr. Harper, the latter cameback in a few weeks with a proposal. to systematizeand coordinate all Baptist education in the UnitedStates. Strong protested that the time was not ripefor such a project and that it would become them toconcentrate first on the New York institution. Harpersubsided, and no more was heard about this projectat the time. The idea seemingly never left him, however, for variations of it crop up many times in hispublished writings.Two words are frequently used by Harper in thesewritings: «system" and «order." He never ceased tobe upset and irritated by the formlessness and "chaos"of American education:Germany may be said to have a system of education,France likewise; but in America, as a whole, there is rio traceof anything that might rightly be called a system. . . . It ispossible to go even farther and to say that there is no suchthing as order. Whatever phase of this activity we studythere is discovered chaos and confusion; no order or plan.o 0 • The association of colleges may be either that of a state,as is already true of the State of New York, or that of adenomination (the bond in this case being very close) orthat of a district, such as New England, or the Valley of theMississippi. . . . The universities, supposing the number to�e ten, fifteen or twenty, should, let me say, unite in a federahan .... Through this federation of Universities will cometh� cr�wning feature of our American system-a Nationaluniversity.In a very real sense Harper was attempting to buildan educational "Trust."APRIL, 1961 Te.nt ?hautauqua's demise was due to the inabilityof cIr�U1t managers to reconcile two fundamentallyopposite goals: they wanted to bring culture to thehinterland, and they wanted to make money. Theythought the answer lay in expansion, in more townson the circuit, a longer season, bigger names. Theironce proud boast that no serious issue was ever barredfrom a Chautauqua platform was forgotten, and theyconcentrated on hiring crowd-pleasing talent. Theywere influenced in their judgment by our commonAmerican propensity for equating bigness with excellence, and so they failed.At first glance, any parallel between Harper's University of Chicago and the failure of circuit Chautauqua may seem farfetched, but the parallel does exist.Both the circuits and the University were created withChautauqua as the pattern, and although Chicago contin�es �o. occupy an important place among the greatuniversities of the world, Harper did fail to realizethere his announced intention to "revolutionize university study in this country." His ambition for the University and his dream of combining a great number ofspecialized schools and colleges into a coherent andunified ':syste�" drove him into an excess of expendit�re which alienated Rockefeller and dried up, for Rtime, the steady stream of the financier's contributions.Discouragement and ill health made the last year ofHarper's life a gloomy period, in addition to whicheffective control of the University passed from hishands. Even before Harper's death in 1906, Dean HarryP. Judson,. the. acting president, had begun a programof reorganization and retrenchment that was in fact anabandonment of Harper's goals. Harper accepted theinevitable with dignity and fortitude.THE .REC�)RD O� ACHIEVEMENT that Harperleft behmd him at Chicago would have satisfied a manl�ss well-�ndo:v�d than he with courage and imagination. In his wrItmgs, however, we can discern the scopeof his ambition for American higher education, and theproblems and contradictions that prevented the realization of that ambition. In a different context and at al�ter date, some of these contradictions were responSIble for the collapse of the Chautauqua circuits.When Harper had transplanted to Chicago his ownconcept of the organization that had proved so successful at Chautauqua, he added the principle of research,which he considered fundamental to the "universityspirit," the capstone of his idea of a university. Hesaw in free inquiry and independent investigation acosmic principle that transcended mere method; heconceived of it as fundamental in the operation of theuniverse. In a startling passage which clearly illuminates his faith in research as something tremendouslymore important than a mere tool, he wrote:Palestine was a great laboratory. For its erection and equipment centuries were taken and the whole world was laidunder tribute. Babylon on the one side and Egypt on theother made each its most precious contributions. The laboratory was furnished with all the facilities for working out thegreatest truths of the greatest science, the truths connectedwith God and man. Indeed, the laboratory was built in orderto afford opportunity for experiment, and to give instruction11in respect to a single problem, and in this problem the greatest truths were involved.The director of the laboratory had been its architect. Hewas now to guide the work of investigation and instructionstep by step. This architect, this director, this master workman, we may note was God. Strangely enough, the directorthought it best not to show himself in person; but, for thetime, to do his work through laboratory assistants, or agents.... It was expected that they would furnish discoveries ofnew truth and new formulations of old truth for the use ofthose who followed them. These pupils, to whom so greatan opportunity was given, were the ancient Hebrews.. . . there were, in fact, many laboratories in the world . . .and there was no laboratory in which earnest and scientificwork was done that did not have some contribution to make.. . . But in these other laboratories the facilities were not sogood, and, besides, the director was not so near at hand. . . .The Old Testament is a laboratory notebook kept, underthe supervision of the director, by the laboratory assistantswhom he employed.As a practical administrator, Harper's experienceproved to him that there was a gulf between whatought to be and what could immediately take place. Intheory, the cosmic principle of research was one whichshould pervade all levels of the University. In practice, however, it became apparent to President Harperthat the research method of teaching was inappropriatefor lower division students. His research-minded faculty, however, like the Director of the "Palestinianlaboratory," failed to recognize any distinction. Harperhimself said,After three or four years spent in the work of research,they seem to ignore the fact that there is any other methodof work than that employed by the most advanced students.They therefore employ university methods with freshmen andsophomores, and the result is an utter waste of energy andtime, both for the student and his instructor. When, now, weadd to this the insane purpose manifested by some of them(especially those who have been in Germany) to Germanizeeverything with which they come into relation ... We havea combination of evils to which may be traced a very considerable amount of waste.Harper suggested a remedy for this kind of situationin "the admission of no man to the position of instructor whose ability to teach has not been absolutelydemonstrated; and in the furnishing of such instructionas will, to some extent at least, exhibit the organizedstructure and relationship of the various departments ofuniversity work."This was, of course, a pious hope and a worthysentiment. As a practical possibility, it was unrealistic.The policies that Harper had established in the beginning had resulted in the organization of a universitycommunity whose values were such that unless a considerable amount of attention were given to the shibboleth of research, preferment was not to be expected.Department heads had been chosen for their preoccupation with research; accordingly, they chose subordinates with the same predilections. Upper-divisionand graduate courses, particularly the seminars, carriedprestige; accordingly, Junior College courses were assigned to the newly Hedged Ph.D.s, who immediatelysought, not to improve their technique of teaching,but to gain leisure for research and publication so thatthey, too, might grow in dignity and be assigned aseminar. To reverse this trend would have been asuperhuman task even for an administrator who wasconvinced that the research emphasis was in itself a12 mistake, and there is no evidence that President Harperever thought this.CLOSELY RELATED TO PRESIDENT Harper'sacceptance . of evolution in the Darwinian sense asfundamental to the natural order of things was hisbelief that the modern business enterprise of his day,because most recent, represented the highest and besttype of· human productive activity.The democracy of Greece, and the democracy of a centuryago in our own land, were stages in the evolution which hasbeen taking place from the beginning of man's history onearth. Wherever the industrial spirit has prevailed, as opposed to the predatory, this evolution still continues, and willcontinue until if includes in its grasp the entire world.As this "industrial spirit" comes into its own, it will,according to Harper, exhibit two marked characteristics-consolidation and specialization. To Harper, theseare not merely techniques; they, too, are cosmic principles, since they are techniques inseparable from thelarger concept of evolution by the survival of the fittest.For the institution, as for the individual, techniques ofspecialization must be discovered, differentiation musttake place, and then, by association of differentiatedparts, progress to higher levels of organization may beachieved.The great combinations of business enterprise, therefore, will represent steps in the evolutionary process,and will rise to the dignity of exhibiting a principlethat should be followed in other types of institutions:It is a remark of frequent occurrence that one of the common features of our present civilization is the emphasis laidupon specialism in every line of work. It is also to be notedthat, side by side with specialism, and because of specialism,another prominent feature exists, namely, that of combinationsand trusts, for it is only the specialists who combine. It wasnot until the day of specialism that combinations could occur.Harper emphasizes that institutions in general, andinstitutions for higher education in particular, are notfaced by . an infinite number of possible courses ofaction from which they may choose on the basis ofwhich seems best. They are faced by a dichotomy;they may choose to specialize and combine-since thatis the underlying principle of survival-or they maychoose to commit virtual suicide. Circumstances, however, will inevitably dictate the former course, since«institutions, like individuals, move along the line ofleast resistance.". . . The small college, the college of the denomination, iscertain to continue in the future; but it will sooner or lateryield to the pressure of competition on every side and in everyline, to the demands of economy, made more rigorous by thediminishing rate of interest . . . and join itself in close association with other similar colleges. The purpose of this association will be, in part, protection, but also, in part, greaterstrength. If it be asked how these ends will be attained bysuch association, it may be answered, in general, in accordance with exactly the same principles which lead men engaged in the same business, whether it is insurance or railroading, whether it has to do with iron or sugar or wool, tojoin hands for the prevention of unnecessary expense, for theavoidance of injurious duplication, for the sake of gainingevery possible economy. But how, it may be asked, will theseprinciples operate in the case of colleges? With such association, and as a result of the understanding reached thereby:THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEThere will come a better distribution of work among thecolleges, and all will not undertake to do every kind of work;... The evils of competition will be mitigated; . . .Moreover, one may predict the close association of thesmaller colleges, not only with each other, but also, in everycase, with a university. The great advantages which will befound to accrue both to the college and the university in suchassociation will bring this about; for, after all, institutions,like individuals, move along the line of least resistance.It would not be strange if an industrialist or railroadmagnate had taken this position, since their activitiesare based upon the premise that individually and collectively men will everywhere seek personal gain. Auniversity president, however, occupies his positionbecause he believes, or should believe, that men canbe persuaded through education to choose, not "theline of least resistance" but the paths of justice andtruth.THE ORGANIZATION OF THE University on thelines of an industrial enterprise resulted in overcentralization, rigid departmentalization, and loss of facultymorale. The attempt to utilize plant and staff on a yearround basis resulted in excessive duplication of coursesand a loss in homogeneity in the student body. Theemphasis on research as units to be produced undermined the faculty's interest in teaching. At the root ofall these contradictions lay Harper's belief, unverbalized because implicit, that demand and need weresynonymous. He interpreted the educational sceneabout him as indicating that the United States was inneed of a unified and harmonious scheme of education,organized vertically from the kindergarten through theuniversity, laterally by voluntary associations of collegeswith one another and with a parent university, and supplemented by university extension courses available toeveryone, the whole to be permeated by the "universityspirit" -that is, investigation and specialization. Havingbeen given an opportunity to do so, he had worked outsuch a system, and he remained supremely confidentalmost to the end of his life that that system wouldbe adopted. In 1902 he wrote:The Held of higher education is, at the present time, in anextremely disorganized condition. But the forces are alreadyin existence, through the operation of which, at no distantdate, order will be secured, and a great system established,which may be designated "the American System." The important steps to be taken in working out such a system areco-ordination, specialization and association.Harper believed that the essentials of the "AmericanSystem" had been established at Chicago. As soon assome of the minor conflicts were worked out, Chicagowould demonstrate to the rest of the nation the validityof his scheme, and it would be widely copied.Had Harper been in fact an industrial or commercialentrepreneur, and had he evolved in that sphere such alogical and detailed plan for the distribution of a commodity, he could confidently have expected success.Perhaps his mistake was that he, like so many of hiscontemporaries, regarded education as a commodity.Thorstein Veblen, with his usual penetrating insight,perceived this assumption that underlay an educationAPRIL, 1961 dominated by business ideals and business methods:The underlying business-like presumption accordingly appears to be that learning is a merchantable commodity, to beproduced on a piece-rate plan, rated, bought and sold bystandard units, measured, counted and reduced to stapleequivalence by impersonal, mechanical tests.Essentially the same mistake was made by the managers of circuit Chautauqua. They thought that theirswas a merchantable commodity, too. They became soengrossed in the problems of management and deludedby the mirage of bigness that they lost sight of theirbasic cultural mission. Their programs became "standard units," and they devised a system by which theycould be "measured, counted and reduced to stapleeq uivalence."When tent Chautauqua had become a big business,'Vawter and the other entrepreneurs devised a system of"quality control" whereby local managers on the circuit reported "audience reaction" to a central officeafter every performance, indicating how each part ofthe program had been received. If there were indications that a performer was doing something that wasnot entirely "safe," a more or less strongly worded "suggestion" from the central office would be waiting forhim at his next stop. It is more than unlikely that anysuggestion was ever offered to such platform greatsas William Jennings Bryan or Booker T. Washington,but by 1924, as a well-trained observer noted, "excessive liberalism is an extremely unlikely contingency.Conservative as are Chautauqua audiences, its managers are more so."This system of reports worked at cross purposeswith the ostensible goals of tent Chautauqua. Just asHarper's emphasis 'on research and scholarly productioninhibited too many professors in their teaching function, surveillance by local managers made crowdpleasers rather than agents of culture out of too manyperformers. For the men and women who seriously advocated a program of action, there was no place at all;they might offend somebody in the audience. The "inspirational" speakers took over, and the once vigorousChautauqua movement was drowned in a flood of pap.Basically, Harper and the circuit managers sharedthe same philosophy, verbalized in Harper's case, tacitin theirs. It was that "institutions, like individuals,move along the line of least resistance." Harper deduced from this principle that combination and specialization would come as naturally and beneficially toeducational institutions as to business enterprises. Thecircuit entrepreneurs deduced that their prosperitydepended upon "giving the people what they want."Both were wrong. Higher education has followedan older and surer instinct and has in some measureavoided the impersonality, fragmentation, and loss ofhuman values that have been the curse of modernindustrial life. The policy-makers for circuit Chautauqua discovered too late, if at all, that attempts toplease everyone' end by pleasing no one; a discoverythat the television networks of our own day have yetto make. The "line of least resistance," whether erroneously deduced from the evolutionary process oradapted as mere expediency, is hardly a sure guide toprogress in human affairs. •13REUNION IS MANY THINGS TO MANY PEOPLE .... . a chance to meet and hear the new Chancellor.. an opportunity to see the campus and theneighborhood in transition. . a time to hear reports on research nowunderway at the University.14 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEPolitical Scientists are never far from the arena of working politics; however, this Februarythree of our most distinguished members of the Political Science Department (one of thema former welterweight boxer) put on the gloves to challenge both. the Chicago press andthe GOP spokesmen. The topic of contention:The Election "Frauds"H ow did this team (dubbed "the three blindmice of the Midway" by the opposition) farein battle? They bravely faced such chargesas "The three uninformed, misinformed,unschooled and unlearned professors whovindicated King Richard's (Daley's) powermachine which stole this last election canonly be likened to the three blind mice whosee or know not evil or fraud."We cherish a recollection of one of the contenders, Herman Finer, waving a copy ofthe professors' "Statement" at the membersof the press and proclaiming, "what one ofyour papers would print this report in full I"Here, in full, is their "superficial study,"their "whitewash 0/ the Democratic Party:"A few weeks ago, after the stories about the November 8 election had appeared in the Chicago newspapers, Herman Finer, professor of Political Scienceat the University of Chicago, phoned Mayor Daleyand stated that he and some of his colleagues werevery disturbed about the impression that these storieswere giving the nation, and indeed the world, aboutthe civic reputation of Chicago. Mayor Daley suggested that Mr. Finer and his colleagues might consider attempting to counteract these impressions bymaking a report which would compare the charges ofthe defeated candidates and the stories in the newspapers with the actual facts established concerningthe election. Professor Finer undertook to prepare sucha report, associating with himself two of his colleaguesin the Political Science Department, Jerome G. Kerwinand C. Herman Pritchett.In releasing this report, the purpose of the authorsAPRIL, 1961 is not to defend the Democratic Party or to attack theRepublican Party, but rather to make a sober andresponsible evaluation of the charges which have created such an adverse image of Chicago. This matter isparticularly serious since there seems to be no indication that the charges about the 1960 Chicago electionare being permitted to die down. References continueto appear in the national press, three months after theelection, to the Chicago "vote frauds" as though theyhad been fully established. One national magazine,Look, in its issue of February 14, 1961, was still allegingthat the election was "stolen" in a lead article entitled«How To Steal An Election," and carrying a bannerheadline with the question, «How Dishonest Are Chicago Elections?"The authors of this report are frank to admit thatthey are Democrats, and Herman Finer is by appointment of Mayor Daley and Governor Stratton an unpaidmember of the board of the Chicago Regional PortAuthority. However, they are also political scientistsand citizens of Chicago who are alarmed at the loss ofconfidence in election procedures in the city as a resultof the press treatment of the 1960 election. They hopeby this report to restore some sense of balance on thisissue and some basis for continuing the very greatadvances which have been made in election administration in Chicago in the past decade or two.The authors wish to acknowledge that on some issuesof fact inquiries were made of, and information wassupplied by, Mr. Earl Bush, director of public relationsof the City of Chicago. The University of Chicago hasof course no connection with or responsibility for thisstudy, and no University funds were used in making it.Their "Statement"Chicago's responsible citizens are fond of their cityand desire to see its reputation enhanced. Yet at timeswe do not all realize the most prudent manner of correcting what appears to be wrong in our civic life.The end, very good in itself, of honesty and efficiencyin all walks of gove!nmental operation does not justifyany means that may be chosen.15Following the elections of November 8, 1960, seriouscharges were made, charges repeated and amplified bythe Chicago newspapers, imputing dishonesty andfraudulent intent to election officials in Chicago andto the Democratic Party specifically. The Mayor ofChicago acknowledged that there might have beensome cases of irregularity and many cases of errordue to human judgment. Considering the electionprocess in most cities of the land, this statement mighthave covered all of them. Nor is this said in derogation of the cities, for rural areas have not been conspicuously outstanding as models of electoral probity.However, this is often overlooked because the fullspotlight of publicity does not fall on them as it doeson the cities.It must be remembered that our election machineryis not and cannot be a continuously functioning organism. It is in large part set up only for an occasional specific day and thereafter dismantled. Thisfact in itself accounts for many of the errors whichenter into the election process. Remembering, too, thatfor many years-until the middle of the 19th century,in fact-the election process was entirely the businessof the political parties themselves, it is no wonderthat a great deal of the former inexpert process remains.In a presidential election thousands of people, largelyamateur, are engaged to carry through the electionprocess. For the 1960 election in Chicago, 25,000election judges-Republican and Democratic-wereappointed.That there should be a sudden awakening to weaknesses in the election process in Chicago was in itself8. matter of civic gratification. The unfortunate part,however, of this awakening was its excessive nature.Errors became crimes and crimes were said to bewholesale. Much artificial stimulation kept the campaign going. To those people who have watched theelection process in Cook County for many years, thecharges were not new but the fervor was somewhatsurprising. The veteran students of elections remembered a time during the first quarter of this centurywhen despite machine gunnings at the polls, stolenballot boxes, open buying of votes, intimidation, repetitive voting, estimating and not counting votes, shortpenciling, and every fraud known in the dictionary ofcorrupt elections, it was impossible to arouse theinterest of anyone of the organizations now worthilyactive in elections.To be specific, politics was a "dirty business" inwhich the Chicago Bar Association, the Association ofCommerce, and other like organizations would notengage. Yet it must be remembered that the quietwork of the-League of Women Voters, the Men's CityClub, and the Women's City Club, and people at ouruniversities brought continual progress. While thereare obvious weaknesses still in our election machineryand methods, the amount of improvement in recentyears has been extraordinary.Whatever irregularities have been evident in therecent election do not merit for Chicago the lowinsinuations, the bitter criticisms, or the hopeless despair of our political morals displayed by so manypublications both here and abroad. Much of what16 was said and done was generated by the heat characteristic of all political struggles, yet the general resultsfrom the point of view of the city were most unfortunate.The 1960 election in Chicago was, in fact, accordingto Republican U. S. District Attorney Robert Tieken,<. cleaner than usual." And yet this election was madethe occasion for an unjustified and unsubstantiatedattack of extraordinary violence on Chicago's civic reputation. The assault was led by the official heads of theRepublican Party in Illinois and especially in CookCounty, and was aided by the Republican NationalCommittee. It is understandable that in an electionas close as the one of 1960, the defeated candidatesshould make strenuous efforts to reverse the results.But indiscriminate and irresponsible charges of thievery,corruption, and fraud are not an acceptable method ofcontesting election results. This fact was recognizedin the position taken at his farewell press conferenceby Vice President Nixon, who had more at stake inthe election than any other Republican:"I believe, first, that the time to work for correctingsuch evils is before Election Day, instead of protesting afterward. I am going to devote considerabletime now to recommending changes in our votingsystem. And, second, I must point out that no partyhas a monopoly on this type of cheating."Chicago and Illinois Republican leaders did notfollow this policy. They originated charges such asthe following. Frank Ferlic of the States Attorney'soffice charged that the election was "probably theworst in election memory." Republican 'Cook CountyChairman Francis X. Connell, a defeated candidate,said there had been fraudulent voting in as many as800 precincts, and that the Democrats had stolen100,000 votes. William H. Fetridge, chairman of theMidwest Volunteers for Nixon-Lodge, said: "We haveinformation that more than 25,000 persons in the skidrow area voted the <right way' in exchange for whiskeyand money." Frank Durham, of the Committee onHonest Elections, said he "had never seen fraudulentpractices more vicious in his twenty-five years of pollwatching." State's Attorney Adamowski charged flatlythat the White House had been "stolen."The Chicago newspapers printed these charges, seldom pointing out the lack of supporting evidence forthem. Moreover, the newspapers themselves becameparticipants in the campaign to picture the electionas fraudulent, and on their own account repeated,multiplied, and pyramided the charges of fraud in aday-to-day crescendo. To meet the requirements ofthe campaign, minor incidents and irregularities wererepeatedly blown up into the appearance of majorand intentional frauds. A survey of the press storiesthat appeared in the weeks following the election,made by Herman Finer, is attached to this statement.His report covers an ample and representative sampleof the stories that appeared, and shows the patternand technique of the propaganda campaign conductedby the metropolitan press, which gave the whole country, and even foreign nations, the impression that theChicago election was a "dirty," "foul," "crooked,""thieving," "morass" of evil doing.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE(The "Analysis 0/ Chicago Newspaper Storieson the 1960 Election" which the professorsattached to their shorter statement which isreprinted on these pages, was 35 pages long.It consisted 0/ 35 pages of the professors'examples 0/ misleading newspaper reportingand unsubstantiated GOP charges.)The newspapers may argue that they only carriedthe quotations of officials, candidates and others whowere active in the election-that they did not themselves make the charges and accusations. But whatactually happened in many cases was that the newspapers would carry stories of allegations; then makethe allegations charges; then make the charges facts;then make the facts conclusions-the conclusions beingthat the election was stolen in Chicago.Only a few examples of the misleading effect ofnewspaper coverage can be given. The prime exampleof alleged election' fraud, referred to time and timeagain in the press, concerned the 50th Precinct of theSecond Ward, where there was admittedly an overcastof the vote. The facts appeared to be that in thisprecinct most of the houses had been recently demolished, but that the former occupants had returned onelection day and been permitted to vote. After thiscase had been exploited in many newspaper stories,George Thiem finally conceded in an article in theDaily News on November 25 that "it would be hardto prove deliberate fraud in this precinct. A morelikely explanation is the unfamiliarity of the electionjudges and their duties, and the election laws."On December 2, the Tribune printed a story withthe headline, "Nixon Gain Is 1,214 on Machines:G.O.P." The sub-headline is "See State Victory WithCanvass Of Paper Ballots." Then follows a bulletin:«Vice President Nixon made a net unofficial gain of1,214 votes thru a Republican comparison of actualvoting machine figures with official canvass tallies, itwas learned early today. Ralph Berkowitz, an attorneyaiding the G.O.P., said Nixon apparently can go onto carry Illinois on the paper ballot recount. TheHepublican voting machine study, carried out by afirm of certified public accountants, also showed a netgain in Chicago of 1,616 votes for State's Atty. Benjamin S. Adamowski."These figures-1,214 and 1,616-disappeared in thefollowing days. The so-called machine study carriedout by a firm of certified accountants never was presented or published. In fact the name of the firmcompletely disappeared from print. Yet this accountwas carried not only by the Tribune but by all threeother Chicago newspapers, and the figures and thestory disappeared from all other Chicago newspapersas well, with never an explanation.The Daily News of November 12 stated that WilliamH. Fetridge, Chairman of the Midwest Volunteers forNixon-Lodge, had "recalled that in 1952 Secretary ofState Carpentier was an apparent loser by lO,OOO votesbut the recount made him the winner by 9,000." Thearticle then quotes Fetridge directly, "There is aprecedent for this, that is what gives us encourage-APRIL, 1961 ment." But the fact is that there was no recount in1952 in the election for Secretary of State. Surely thefiles of the Daily News would have readily revealedthis fact.No one can question the constructive work whichour newspapers in Chicago have done on many occasions. We are, however, confronted with a situationwhich does not promote a wholesome reporting ofpolitical news with all four newspapers following oneparty line on national questions. 1£ it is worth while inour politics to have a vigorous two-party system, it isas worth while to have a two-party press.In the light of the charges made concerning the1960 election, it is important to recapitulate the factsthat have subsequently been established about theelection.Fact l. A recheck of the voting machines in Chicagoresulted in a net gain of 312 votes for Nixon out of atotal of 1,780,000 votes cast-an amazingly accuratereporting of the vote.Fact 2. The recheck of the voting machines in theState's Attorney's race resulted in a net gain of 435for Adamowski.Fact 3. On the "discovery recount" of the paperballots, Adamowski gained a net of 6,342 out of 417,000votes, leaving him some 20,000 votes short of thenumber that would be required to overturn the electionof his opponent. A discovery recount of paper ballotsis made for the purpose of permitting a candidate todetermine whether or not he would wish to file apetition for a recount, and is not made a part of theofficial canvass.Fact 4. The State Electoral Board, composed of fourRepublicans and one Democrat, certified the Kennedyvictory in the state on the ground that there was notsufficient evidence of fraud in Cook County to changethe canvass.Fact 5. The First Assistant U. S. Attorney, Albert F.Manion, was quoted extensively in the press regardingthe possibility of a number of indictments being returned by the federal grand jury, and "hundreds ofcomplaints" were reported as having been referred tothe grand jury for possible prosecution. Yet the December grand jury returned only two indictments andthe January grand jury did not return a single one.Further investigations of alleged violations of theelection laws will no doubt be made, and should bemade, according to the regular procedures of the law.They might indeed establish additional cases of violation. A recount of the paper ballots in the State'sAttorney's race is now beginning, and it is possiblethat it might yield evidence of errors in the count.Because of the many opportunities for error or fraudcreated by the use of paper ballots, it is important tonote that the City Council, at the request of MayorDaley, has appropriated a half million dollars for additional voting machines so that paper ballots can inthe future be eliminated entirely in the city.It is to be hoped that the extreme partisan natureof the recent struggle over the results of the 1960 elections will not prevent Republican and Democraticleaders alike from taking stock of our election lawswith a view to their reform. It is commendable that17various proposals for revising the election laws andprocedures are being made. Mrs. Marie H. Suthers,Republican member of the Chicago Board of ElectionCommissioners, has made some thoughtful proposalswhich should be carefully studied. It goes withoutsaying, of course, that any changes in the electionlaws should apply to the entire state, for electionirregularities have not been a monopoly of anyonesection of the state or anyone party.In any revision of the election laws, we suggest thatthe following proposals deserve consideration.1. The fundamental cause of bewilderment amongthe voters and the election judges is the long ballot.This makes it almost impossible for even the mostinterested citizens to make and mark a rational choicefor all positions, and it incredibly complicates thecounting process.2. So long as a reform of the long ballot proves to beimpossible, the one most reliable general assurance ofthe purity of the electoral count is the installationof voting machines in every precinct in the entirestate of Illinois. They are costly, but so is a citizen'svote precious.3. We should consider whether it is the part ofpolitical prudence to elect national, state) and localofficials at the same election, and whether a methodof staggering these elections could not be developed.4. Attempts should be made to reform our electionlaws in order that voters who have changed theiraddresses shortly before an election may be permittedto vote in national elections.5. Improvement of the caliber of official personnel atpolling places in elections is badly needed in someareas.6. The administration of Chicago's permanent registration system can undoubtedly be improved.And they summarizeThis study has not attempted to make an independentexamination of the presence or absence of fraud in the1960 Chicago election. That would be outside the competence of anything except a large-scale official investigation. What we have attempted to do is to examinethe evidence put forward by the Republican Partyand the Chicago newspapers to support the chargesof fraud which they made. On the basis of this analysis,we conclude that the charges that wholesale electionfraud was perpetrated in Chicago were baseless andunsubstantiated, We agree with the judgment of Milburn P. Akers, writing in the Sun Times, when he said:"Republicans had a right, legally and morally, to contest the results. But it is questionable whether theyhad a right to make sweeping charges of fraud withoutthe evidence to back them up."Chicago's title to its reputation as a city of goodgovernment and decent intention deserves protectionfrom irresponsible defamation. It is hoped that thisreport can have some effect in restoring the civicmorale of our citizens and the dignity of the communityand the nation for themselves and the onlooking world.18 HUMANITIES CLASS BREAKS UP IN COBBHUGE FORD GRANT-This Januarythe Ford Foundation announced a grantof $5,400,000 to the University ofChicago to strengthen and expandgraduate training and research in nonWestern and other international studies.The Ford Foundation, in its announcement of the grant, said in part:"The University of Chicago grantwill give support for ten years to theUniversity's South and Southeast Asian,Russian and Slavic, and Far Easternprograms; and five-year support toother international studies, includingcomparative education, comparativelaw, African and Near Eastern research,and language teaching. Chicago already has some 400 students registeredin over sixty courses in South andSoutheast Asian fields, and the newfunds for studies in this area will beused for additional staff, partial endowment of a professorship, research,fellowships, library development, andadministration. In Far Eastern studies,the grant will support additional social-science faculty members, and willaid research and the improvement oflibrary resources.

A minister internsat a church. The doctor's internshipis taken as a matter of course. Theminister's is not.To meet the need, the DivinitySchool of the University built a year'sinternship into the four years of graduate study. for the Bachelor of DivinityDegree. The internship takes up thethird year. The fourth year, back oncampus, consolidates the experience.One class has now had its year ofinternship and has returned for thefinal year of study. A second class isnow studying at 14 churches from Oregon to Virginia.How does internship work?Forty-three-year-old Mallary Fitzpatrick, Jr., describes the concept and theoperation as bringing "logical andchronological" order into the educationof a minister. The Rev. Fitzpatrick, aCongregational minister, heads theCommittee on the Ministry of theDivinity School. He is a research associate and an associate professor in theDivinity School. The internship phaseof the four-year curriculum has beenhis responsibility since the new program was conceived in 1954, announcedin 1955 and put in operation in 1956.He has traveled more than 100,000 miles to find the churches that canmeet the academic standards of training a graduate student for the pulpit."The four-year graduate course toprepare for the ministry is not an optional program at the University ofChicago, but a requirement," accordingto the Rev. Fitzpatrick. "The internship is an integral part of it.""Theological education in this country has not changed fundamentally for50 years and the time has come whenit must change. In other professions,internship and in-service training havebecome standard. But for the ministry,training with a church has been misused and fallen into disrepute."Too many churches have taken apredatory view of the student ministerand used him to carry ashes and sweepfloors. Other churches have looked uponthe student as a <minister in miniature'rather than a young person in theprocess of Rnding himself and his professional competence."The Rev. Fitzpatrick says that internship purposely was scheduled aftertwo years of basic theological education in Bible, Theology, Church History,History of Religions, Ethics and Society, Religion and the Arts, Religionand Personality."When he comes back to the classroom for his fourth and final year, hecomes back running. He has had towrestle with theory and with practice.Now, in his last year, he has a chanceto re-orient himself, to reconcile theoryand practice, to search for insights thatwill make him a fine minister beforehe accepts the responsibilities of a congregation."The Rev. Fitzpatrick also reports thatthe internship program has had a great19effect on the churches and the parishioners. A lay committee to work withthe student intern is a requirement ofthe program. "Laymen have beenshaken from their outlook that you canbuy ministers as you buy cars, off anassembly line, without knowledge ofwhat goes on in Detroit. They havelearned to think about problems oftheological education as part of the concern of their own church."They have learned to think aboutthe ministry, not about a particularminister-the one they've had, the onethey have now, or one they will have.They have been able to develop a detached view that helps them and theUniversity faculty develop standards forthe ministry itself."The Divinity School, the oldest professional graduate school of the University, is an inter-denominationalgraduate institution which educates religious scholars as well as trains Protestant ministers. It is exclusively a graduate school. Its total number of degreestudents is 407. Of these, 171 are embarked on this special internship program leading to the Bachelor ofDivinity degree. Among the faculty of29, 7 denominations are represented;among the students, 16.MARATHON - Some flavorsome excerpts from Maroon reporter LauraCodofsky's review of this year's WUCBmarathon. This tour de force of thestudent radio station started Fridaynight, February 24, with the traditionalRobert M. Hutchin's Farewell Address.26lj2 hours later it dwindled off the air.One WUCB staffer, who shall remainanonymous, was known to have stayedawake, around, and sober the wholetime. A traditional highlight of theevening is the annual farewell performance of the Pro Nausea Musica. MissGodofsky:Dying a quick, painless death, guestconductor Mitya Pandowski was carried away with his music. He was dispatched by a poison-tipped dart from aflute doubling as a blowpipe.Pandowski's assassination during theChicago Pro Nausea Musica's performance of Haydn's Surprise Symphonywas this year's surprise. The 25-member ensemble, conducted by Sir MaxRunnerbien (Roger Downey) andMitya Pandowski (Jim Kim), was partof the "cast of thousands" appearingon WUCB's 9th annual marathon. Theprogram raised money for WUS's[World University Service] South African student fund. WUCB's contribution brings the WUS drive total to$1,837.37.The Pro Nausea, following its tradi-20 tion of presenting "little known versionsof well-known works," introduced tothe world "Assignments No.6" by JimHilgers and Mark Dorenson, whichfeatured the composers' playing asignal generator.According to Hilgers, AssignmentsNo.6 is based on "theories" of naturaldissonance caused by the parametricamplification of a round top squarewave."Hilgers manipulated the generator'slevel control and attenuation networkand Dorenson worked its frequencydetermining network. According toDorenson, this means that Hilgersturned one knob and a switch while heturned two switches.The generator played in a two-partsymphony, with Dana Smaller, soprano,acting as an instrument. Miss Smalleris a member of the N. Y. Pro Nauseawhich joined its Chicago branch forthe marathon performance.The N. Y. Pro Nausea, includingMary deLue, baritone, and CourtnerKing, soprano, performed "My BonnieLass, She Smileth," a "cracking goodmadrigal," according to Runnerbien.Charlie Nelson was the Pro Nausea'ssoloist in its version of Vivaldi's "Concertina for well corrugated washboard."On his little princess washboard,made by the Columbia ladder andwoodenware company of Portland, Oregon, Nelson led the ensemble throughtwo renditions of the concertina, atdifferent tempos.The Pro Nausea also played the 4thpart of Respighi's triology, "The pines,fountains, festivals, and sewers ofRome." The piece "watered down intoone big thing, like the Mississippi, ending up in father Tiber." The N. Y. ProNausea sang "Oh give me a home,where the buffalo roam . . ." in thebackground.The Pro Nausea concluded withHonnegger's Pacific '23, a tone pictureof a steam locomotive starting, goingon, and "running into a little trouble"across the French countryside.REAVIS PROFESSOR-The first appointment to the William Claude ReavisProfessorship of Educational Administration was announced last February.Named to the chair was ProfessorRoald F. Campbell of the University'sDepartment of Education. Mr. Campbell is director of the Midwest Administration Center of the Universityof Chicago and chairman of the committee on educational administrationwithin the University's Department ofEducation.The late William Claude Reavis whose memory the professorship honorswas a "schoolman's schoolman." In histhree decades on the University'sfaculty, he helped shape public education policy and programs in thousandsof American communities.Francis S. Chase, Dean of the Graduate School of Education, said:"The appointment of Mr. Roald F.Campbell to the Reavis professorshipassures the University of Chicago continuing leadership in the great traditionestablished by William Claude Reavis."It represents an 0 the r step instrengthening our programs of research,graduate instruction, and field servicesin educational administration. LikeProfessor Reavis, Professor Campbellhas built his theory and research on anextended experience in educational administration and has maintained closecontact with the schools throughout hiscareer."As William Claude Reavis Professor,Mr. Campbell becomes one of the 36members of the faculty holding namedor distinguished service chairs. TheUniversity faculty totals 858 members.In his new post as William ClaudeReavis Professor, Mr. Campbell willcontinue as director of the MidwestAdministration Center. He joined theUniversity of Chicago faculty in 1957.Prior to accepting the position here,he was professor of education at OhioState University since 1952. He wasborn in Ogden, Utah, December 4,1905, and grew up in Idaho. He received his B.A. and M.A. from BrighamUniversity and his Ed.D. in 1942 fromStanford University.He has served as a consultant andthe acting head of the department ofeducation at Idaho State College andhas been in charge of elementary education and director of the William M.Steward School of the University ofUtah. He also has been a teacher, principal and superintendent of schools inTexas and Idaho.The specialty of educational administration, one of a number of special fields offered by the Departmentof Education and the School of Education at the University of Chicago isdescribed in these terms in the catalogues:Schools and school systems are enterprises involving a variety of people, activities, and purposes. As enterprises, theymust be organized, administered, andsupervised. Such work requires muchknowledge and skill; there are patternsof school organization that need to beknown and ways of obtaining CO-operative and effective work that need to bemastered, both within the school and between the school and other parts of thecommunity. Moreover, as social and economic changes take place, organizationTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEmust change. As more is learned abouthuman behavior, new ways of effectingco-operation and efficiency can be forged.The field of administration is concernedwith providing known skills and knowledge and with research aimed at increasing them.The University work in the field ofeducational administration centers onthese three specific organizations:1. The Committee on EducationalAdministration2. The Educational Field Service3. The Midwest Administration Center.All these are concerned with the training of potential administrators, conducting research in the field of educational administration and disseminating the results of this research to interested individuals and agencies.The Committee on Educational Administra tion, an academic committeewithin the Department of Education,is chiefly concerned with:- Directing a training program forschool administrators;- Developing new directions for research in the area of school administra tion.Under the chairmanship of Professor.Campbell, this committee has developedthe present curricula for doctoral candidates in educational administration;established the master of arts in schooladministration program and developedprograms for internship and field experience for degree candidates.One of the main objectives of Educational Field Service is helping schoolsystems with some of their more difficult problems. Members of the staffhave advised such systems in the Chicago area as Du Page County andDowner's Grove, and have gone as farafield as Alberta, Canada, and Pakistan. The University maintains a permanent group of advisors in Pakistanunder a grant by the Ford Foundation.The training of students is also animportant function of Field Services.It affords an opportunity for the student administrator to be involved withthe solution of problems of which hehas little or no first hand knowledge.Another important aspect of this program is the opportunity for the University staff to continue as observersas well as theoreticians.The third agency involved in educational administration is the MidwestAdministration Center. Started in 1950by a grant from the W. K. KelloggFoundation, the Center has grown tobecome one of the acknowledged leaders in the field.APRIL, 1961 The two main functions of the center are:1. To provide valuable training experience for young degree candidates, and2. To sponsor, prepare and conductclinics and conferences and publishthe "Administrator's Notebook," amonthly newsletter with informationfor the practicing school administrator as well as the student.COLVIN PROFESSOR - Donald F.Bond, professor of English at the U niversity, has been named first holder ofthe William H.

HENRY GIENAPP, AM'35, is associateAPRIL, 1961 MOST FAMOUS ALUMNUS-He is the late Eliot Ness, '25, who withhis band of ten Untouchables-agents of the Prohibition Bureau of theU.S. Department of Justice «untouched by bribery or bullets," brokethe Al Capone crime syndicate in Chicago. Mr. Ness attended the U of Cfrom 1922-25, majoring in commerce and business administration. Evenin college he couldn't deny the lure of detective and law enforcementwork which had interested him since his teens. Stealing a few hours fromhis studies, he took a jujitsu course and became an expert shot at theChicago police pistol range.After graduation he was an investigator for the Retail Credit Co. fortwo years, and in 1927 this experience gained him a position as an agentin the Prohibition Bureau. In the Bureau, Mr. Ness saw Capone's briberyat work, and it was then that he came to believe that only a small handpicked group of top agents working with a free hand could ever combatCapone and his grip on the law. To Mr. Ness's surprise, the U.S. DistrictAttorney not only listened to his idea, but liked it, and gave him leadershipof the squad with power to pick his own agents. Thus began the twoand a half years of work in Chicago now immortalized on weekly TVduring which Mr. Ness and his men closed down Capone's breweries, cutoff the syndicate's income, and finally found the evidence to convict Caponehimself of income tax evasion.Mr. Ness's law enforcement work did not end, however, with the disbanding of the Untouchables in 1932, for he was appointed chief investigatorof prohibition forces in Chicago. In 1933 he was transferred to the U.S.Treasury Department's Alcoholic Tax Unit, first in Cincinnati and then inCleveland, and as a special investigator closed down hundreds of illegalliquor businesses. Because of his outstanding reputation Mr. Ness wassubsequently appointed director of public safety in Cleveland in 1935,heading the police, fire and building inspection departments. At the ageof 32, he was one of the youngest men ever to head the protective forcesin a major American city, and reputedly one of the most energetic. Hisinvestigations led to major changes in the departments, particularly amongthe police where he forced many resignations and sent several high officersto prison.During World War II, Mr. Ness served as director of social protectionfor the Federal Security Agency and it was not until after the war thathe finally entered the business world. In 1944 he became chairman of theboard of Diebold, Inc. (safe and vault manufacturing) which later mergedwith York Safe and Lock Co. Mr. Ness headed the combined firm, YorkIndustries, Inc. (which manufactured plastics machinery, microfilmingequipment, vaults and safes), with offices in New York City. He was alsovice president and treasurer of the Middle East Co. Mr. Ness died onMay 16, 1957, shortly after approving the final galleys of his book, TheUntouchables, from which the current television series is adapted.27professor and registrar at Concordia College in Milwaukee, Wisc.RALPH B.
