The dropletswere caught on oil slides exposed to theair stream in flight.THE NUCLEUSOFARAINDROPWhere does a raindrop begin?One theory says with a tinyparticle-a few ten-thousandthsof an inch wide-thrown intothe air from the earth's surface. IT MIGHT be a microscopic bit of sea salt churned up by winds. over the ocean. Or it might be the product of some otherdisturbance on earth-a volcanic eruption, for example.Research associate Barbara J. Tufts can offer evidence thatparticles of the size and chemical make-up predicted by theoryare present in the atmosphere. Miss Tufts says that the particleshave one important property in common. They're thirsty-or inscientific language, "hygroscopic."Once in the air, they begin to "soak up" water vapor in theatmosphere. As a result they grow, forming little droplets ofwater. Untreated table salt, left uncovered, behaves in the sameway. It takes up moisture from the air and begins to lump upinstead of flowing smoothly.The theory suggests that a particle of salt, thrown into the airfrom the earth's surface, becomes a little "ball" of water by thissame process. It's caught up in the air which cools by expan­sion as it rises. As it cools, more water vapor condenses on theparticle, causing it to grow further. But this process is too slowto account for rain.Other processes control its eventual growth to raindrop size.Professor Roscoe Braham, Jr. helps explain these processes byfield and laboratory studies of water-"one of nature's strangestsubstances.""The physical changes of interest are condensation (changefrom vapor to liquid) and freezing (change from liquid to solid)."Mr. Braham confirms that neither of these changes takes placereadily, except in the presence of the condensation particles orcloud droplets, of which Miss Tufts speaks."In liquid form, water continues to show its maverick ways,"according to Mr. Braham. "The individual water moleculesbond together (polymerize) so thoroughly that Langmuir oncedescribed the 'entire Atlantic Ocean as a Single molecule.' Asa drop of water is cooled toward 32 degrees F., it becomes ice­like even though nominally liquid. X-ray studies show the icestructure appearing at temperatures well above 32 degrees F.As the temperature is lowered further, even stranger things are re­vealed. For example, water does not have a freezing temperature.It has a melting temperature of 32 degrees F., but water in thepure state will not freeze until it has been cooled to about -40degrees F. It is very easy in the laboratory to make water pureenough to remain liquid at -34 degrees F. This property of asubstance, called undercooling, is not limited to water, but it isprobably more pronounced in the case of water than for any othersubstance."These properties of water account for the processes by whichone-to-eight million cloud droplets are converted into a singleraindrop.Early in the 1900's the German chemist Wegener noted thatice in the presence of subcooled cloud droplets, would grow atthe expense of the droplets because of vapor-pressure differencesbetween water and ice. In 1933 the Swedish meteorologist Ber­geron proposed that all raindrops come from melted snowflakes.He did not suggest the origin of the few ice crystals which hesupposed to be mixed with subcooled water droplets other thanTHE UNIVEHSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEto speculate that they are formed by vapor molecules going di­rectly into ice.Research has shown that the ice-crystal mechanism is an impor­tant part of natural precipitation processes. The small ice crystals,once they have grown to a size of approximately fifty-thousandthsof an inch in diameter, will have falling speeds greater than thoseof the much smaller cloud droplets. As a consequence, the icecrystals may fall through, collide, and coalesce with the smallcloud droplets.Under certain special conditions the small ice crystals will besufficiently numerous to clump together to form snowflakes. Thesnowflakes will reach the ground as snow - or as rain if thetemperature at the ground happens to be above freezing.It is known, however, that many clouds produce rain beforethey have reached the freezing level. Therefore, it is impossiblethat ice crystals playa role in the rain from these clouds.Under certain conditions the atmosphere will contain largenumbers of "giant" condensation particles which are capable ofproducing cloud drops much larger than the usual ones. Theseparticles-whether sea salt or various sulfate compounds whichare formed directly from gaseous constituents of the atmosphere-produce drops large enough to fall through the smaller clouddroplets, growing like the ice crystals, by collision and coalescencewith the smaller droplets. The result is a raindrop.Which clouds are likely to produce rain? Miss Tufts explainshow a sample of air is examined chemically for the presence ofdifferent water-thirsty salts:Air is filtered through a membrane which traps all but thetiniest atmospheric particles. Then, in the laboratory, the mem­brane is floated in a solution to trigger a chemical "change ofpartners." One of the elements in the salt particles collected onthe membrane joins with another in the solution to form a veryinsoluble compound which is readily identifiable.More than eight chemical exchange reactions now reveal thepresence of the different elements present in sea salt, smoke, pollu­tion, and other particles floating through the atmosphere. Afteridentifying the atmosphere particles in the sample of the air, thenext step is to determine their size. This is done with a micro­scope, after the membrane on which the particles were collectedhas been dried and immersed in oil to make it transparent.The theory says that the most active water-collecting particlesshould be those with diameters ranging from 1 / 2500th of aninch to 1/500th of an inch. Miss Tufts reports finding hygroscopiCsalt particles of this size in samples of air from many differentlocations in the United States and at a variety of elevations.She is a member of the University of Chicago MeteorologyDepartment's cloud physics research group, directed by Profes­sor Horace Byers. This group's work on the chemistry and physicsof the electrification, condensation, and precipitation processes inthe atmosphere is aimed at the development of a scientific basisfor weather modification and control. A major concern of theresearch Miss Tufts is involved in is tracing particles from seasalt as they are carried in the air currents across the country .•MAY, 1961 UNIVERSITY OFCHICAGO•maaczune5733 University AvenueChicago 37, IllinoisMidway 3-0800; Extension 3244EDITOR .

MADISON ST., NEAR MICHIGAN AVE., CHICAGO 2, ILL.NEW YORK· BOSTON • PITTSBURGH' SAN FRANCISCO' LOS ANGELESTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINETO THE UNKNOWNA Convocation message byWILLIAM T. HUTCHINSONPreston and Sterling MortonProfessor of American Historyand Editor, the James Madison PapersMAY, 1961 T HE Latin motto of the University of Chicago isusually translated, «Let Knowledge Grow, that Lifemay be Enriched." The silent premise of this exhorta­tion, rather than the questions of «what" and «why"invited by its words, suggested the theme of theseremarks. Knowledge obviously can not increase unlessit is recruited from whatever still remains unknown.Therefore the unknown must account, in large degree,for the continuing vigor of our university, and, forthat matter, of every other university worthy of thename. As a faculty member I am expected to deplorea lack of knowledge, but also as a faculty member Ievidently may extol it with a like propriety. I wishbriefly to do both.After forty years of teaching I am in doubt whetherthe known or the unknown merits the greater praise.Every scholar probably recognizes that the further headvances within his own field of study, the more exten­sive that field appears to be, and the smaller becomesthe fraction of it illuminated by his own little candleof knowledge. Although he does not worry over theunanswerable question whether the totality of know­able things is a finite or an infinite quantity, he cannot fail to notice that the rate of increase of what hewants to find out, accelerates more rapidly than themaximum pace of his learning. This fact, however, ismore interesting than discouraging. He recognizesthat, without the unknown, his will to do researchwould almost disappear, his intellectual arrogancewould increase, and his faith would lose much of itsjustification.When a young doctor of philosophy first joins afaculty, he may feel that he can render no more valu­able service than to supply his students with most ofthe data he amassed along the road to his advanceddegree. Slowly accumulated experience serves to alterhis perspective. By the time it is nearly too late tomatter, he is convinced that his main classroom mis­sion should always have been to share the gaps in hisknowledge with his students, to challenge many of theassumed certainties within his field of specialization,and to suggest to them how its source materials canyield transferable ideas and promote flexibility ofthought. By these means, rather than by acting mainlyas a funnel of information, he might have inducedmore members of his classes to enlist for life, eitheras a vocation or an avocation, in the rewarding chaseafter the unknown. In historical studies at least, themost important topics are always unfinished business,and the matters most worthy of credence are rarelyamenable to scientific proof.Being true in history, these generalizations must alsosbe true of life. To live would be intolerable if every­tbing ahead of us were already clearly defined. Onlythe contingent, the risk-tinged, and the unforeseeablemake the future an adventure. Alexander Pope's «0blindness to the future kindly given," will seem moreapropos today if its neighboring couplet is alsoquoted,-"Atoms or systems into ruin hurl'd,And now a bubble burst, and now a world."A guarantee of lifelong security might be momentarilywelcomed by a student immediately after he narrowlypasses the comprehensive examinations for his degree,but the boredom of such an existence would or atleast should, soon force him to rebel. The presentstature of this university and this country reflects thethought and work of men and women whose dominantslogan was not "Safety First." In so far as the recordsshow, they did not devote lengthening coffee-breaksto talk about the happy day when they all would bepensioners. On the contrary, they had faith in them­selves and in what they could fashion out of the un­known.I T has often been said that every man at every in­stant of his life stands between a slightly known pastand a totally unknown future. He seeks to dispel someof the darkness ahead of him by projecting into itimages of experiences in his remembered yesterdays.In this way he gives form and meaning to a little ofthe void and tentatively chooses a route to follow.What has gone before-that is, history-need not holdhim in bondage except in the sense that he fortunatelycan not do without it. The wind of history will alwaysbe at his back, but unless he elects to drift he canlargely determine his forward direction by the set hegives to his sails. A university graduate adjusts this"set" to his intellectual bent and continues his self­education throughout the voyage. He thereby bearscontinuous witness to his own quality and to the qual­ity of his university. In all probability his worth willbe greater than his fame.By retaining intellectual curiosity after graduation,he converts his burden of information, acquired as astudent, into a boon. His will-to-know-more givesbuoyancy to the doing of hard tasks, transforms someonerous duties into privileges, and provides an effec­tive shield against many of the patternless intrusionscharacteristic of modern society. By maintaining aninterest in a worthwhile subject of study, he becomesa member of a congenial group held together by abond of mutually shared enjoyment derived from ex­ploring the unknown in the hope of discovering asignificant truth. Each member of this fellowship markshis day in red when "he turns a corner and comesface to face with a new idea." He finds that his naturalright to "the pursuit of happiness," mentioned in theDeclaration of Independence, has to include the hap­piness of pursuing, during some of his leisure time atleast, an elusive matter in the realm of scholarshipuntil he has cornered it and made it his own. To search4 for truth wherever the quest may lead, to look to thepast for guidance but not for idols to worship, to useknowledge to enrich one's own life and, it may be,the other fellow's also, are some of the purposes of aliberal education, and much of the content of purpose­ful living.While attributing most of the zest in education andin life to the presence of the unknown, I have notforgotten the venerable warning that "he who increasesknowledge increases sorrow." No one has ever doubtedthat man as a seeker or an experimenter often getsinto trouble. Adam and Eve must have realized thisshortly after tasting the apple! Our century, however,is the first in history when man's insatiable curiosityhas yielded him such a potentially lethal harvest ofinformation that he is compelled to add wisdom toknowledge in order to survive. Although knowledgemay be in over-production when wisdom can not keepup with it, the chasm between them has always existedand is only more conspicuous today because it hasominously widened. Folks over three score and tenin age no longer lack the company of the young inliving on borrowed time. Less than thirty years agowe were told that the only thing we had to fear wasfear itself. Today, in the opinion of many people, thevice of fear is akin to a virtue-an emotion desperatelyrelied upon to stave off finality-until a common senseof humaneness or an infallible antimissile missile maymake the human species secure against the productsof its own inventive skill.No responsible person, I believe, charges scientistsor technicians with being deliberately indifferent tothe ultimate catastrophe made possible by their newly­found knowledge, or wishes to ban experiments givingpromise of so much advantage to the general welfare.After a half-century's experience, however, we havehad our fill of able men with blunted consciences inpositions of authority. In an age like ours, literallyreaching for the stars as its principal area of expan­sion, and offering all of us a future of unprecedenteddangers and opportunities, any alleged wisdom di­vorced from time-tested ideals and principles is worsethan folly.IN what surely will be the most important commence­ment address of 1961, President Kennedy declaredthat a new generation is now in the saddle-a genera­tion "born in this century" and "proud of its ancientheritage." Although those of us who antedate 1900may not relish his eloquent invitation to prepare ourvaledictories, we are quick to applaud his strong senseof history-his recognition that, if the trailmakers intoAmerica's unknown future are to guide wisely, theymust maintain liaison with their counterparts in Amer­ica's past. The President made clear that by "ancientheritage" he did not refer to any bequest to us by arecent epoch of our history, but rather to the gift bythe late eighteenth century of the Declaration of Inde­pendence, the Constitution of the United States, andthe state and federal bills of rights.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEThis constitutional heritage is no longer on trial. Itis we who are to be judged, not only by our descend­ants but by many of our contemporaries the worldaround, on whether we dishonor that bequest or enrichit at long last by putting it fully into practice. If weaccomplish this in the realm of individual libertiesunder law, we will bring to pass what even the menwho first proclaimed these liberties were unwilling orunable to achieve.Success or failure in this effort depends in no smallmeasure upon the educational institutions of this coun­try. They, as President Roosevelt pointed out a shortgeneration ago, are principal trustees of the valueswhich Americans have always cherished. In our daythe worth of education has increased far beyondAristotle's appraisal of it as an ornament in times ofprosperity and a refuge in times of adversity. Al­though Thomas Jefferson and others, 175 years ago,recognized that a democratic government without pub­lie schools was certain to fail, leaders in Washingtonhave only recently come to see that the colleges anduniversities are indispensable to the security and evento the survival of this nation. The ideas and machinesof twentieth century vintage .are insufficient of them­selves to provide this security. Nor will are-stagingof Civil War battles during the next four years be ofmuch durable worth if the issues at stake a centuryago are made mute by all the martial fireworks.By affirming in his inaugural that Americans of hisgeneration are proud of their ancient heritage, theChief Executive implied that this heritage occupies aprominent place among the subjects studied in theschools and colleges of this country. In our collegesand universities, however, this is not usually the case.In a day when a dominant science can largely shapewhat is and what is to be to its will, men and womenare naturally more concerned about their present andtheir future than about the thought and action of theirforebears nearly two centuries ago. The revolutionarychanges wrought by science and technology seem tomake the distant past irrelevant-s-an era to be con­Signed to oblivion, or, since that would be unpatriotic,to the keeping of harmless antiquarians. Every pri­mary institution-and education among the chief­strains to keep in step with the accelerated pace ofcontemporary events. The horizontal dimensions ofthese events are so wide and complex that any studentwho probes no more deeply beneath their surface than1945 accounts himself to be an historian.This regrettable "presentism," as it is often called,has affected the study and teaching of United Stateshistory. Its colonial and early national periods aresqueezed into smaller and smaller compass in the year­long survey course so as to leave time for a fairly inten­sive study of the twentieth century-and especiallyof its movements which have broken most sharply withAmerica's more distant past. A majority of the recentspate of scholarship and fellowship applicants-( andapparently nearly everyone these days who believesthat education pays, also believes that he should bepaid to be educated )-wished to focus their studyupon events during their own lifetime or shortly be­fore. Although, as the years go by, there obviouslyMAY, 1961 must be a corresponding forward movement of teach­ing and research, the magnitude of the shift duringthe last fifteen or twenty years has greatly exceededthat span of time.OF course this trend also reflects the influence ofAmerica's new international position and responsibil­ities. With the globe as small as it has now become,and its peoples as interdependent as they now are,there is good reason to encourage, if not to oblige,university majors in United States history to acquaintthemselves with at least one contemporary non-west­ern culture significantly unlike their own. This canalso be plausibly defended on the ground that thedistinctiveness of our own way of life is brought intosharper relief if it is seen from the vantage point ofJapan, India, or the Near East. To do this, however,is by no means all gain. Depth is once again sacri­ficed for the sake of breadth. Although one properresponse to an unbalanced world is to provide a bal­anced education, graduate training in the history ofthe United States can hardly be called "balanced."when its geographical width far outmeasures its chron­ological depth.Absorbed in the unknown ahead of us and aroundus, we create new unknowns behind us in history. Thelure of the co-called "New Frontier" of the presentand the future threatens to make areas of America'spast, once well explored in colleges and universities,revert to a near wilderness.The motto of this university assures us that the un­known, when it is made known, can enrich life. ThisI unknown treasury, however, is behind as well as aheadof us in time. Everything, in fact, which of a cer­tainty can enrich life, is a gift to us from the past.The path of our nation's history, like the path of thisuniversity's history, is littered with the debris of plans,once painfully hammered out, adopted with hope, anddiscarded or modified later through need. Thesetransitory plans, however absorbing they were whenin effect, are unimportant as compared with the idealsand principles which their architects embodied, orfelt obliged to embody in part, in their policies andactions. Nevertheless, the original blueprints-thoseof 1787 for the expanding frontier of the United Statesand for a federal union-have endured because ofthe excellence of the values which they translated intoinstitutions. The very age of these values, their abil­ity to survive the drastic changes of circumstances inthe life of this country, testify to their enduring worth.As this ancient heritage has always been the chiefwarrant for our existence as a nation, so it is also theprimary, if not the only valid, justification of our influ­ence in international affairs today. But the excellentis only permanent when it is not forgotten.There is no need to fashion a new past for a newpresent, as some popular historians seem resolved todo. Fashioning our future by first knowing the bestin our past, and then building upon it, will -be anenriching and a sufficient labor. •5Frank Shull, III, (center) discusses a life insurance program for A.

One traditionalstop on such a communitytour isTHE ART COLONYMAY, 1961 that fragile and forlorn street of wooden storefronts,remnants of the World's ColumbianExposition and, after the turn of the century,the stopping place of Chicago's Bohemia.7(above), a bookstore, to private homes (below).8 At 57th Street and Stony Island A venue the 26 storefrontsface each other and into Jackson Park. After more thanfifty years, their brittle dark wooden frames lean comfort­a bly against each other for support, looking to all the worldlike a weathered old nest from which the fledgelings longago flew out to make their own ways.Once the street was filled with the crowds pushing towardthe flamboyant gate to the World's Columbian Expositionat its east end. Then, in 1893, the storefronts were new,and they were occupied by vendors of all sorts who hadnot been able to establish shops on the Exposition grounds.But, as Harry Hansen has observed, "When the fair endedthese Arabs flitted away; the doors of the houses wereboarded up and life lapsed as on a desert isle for a period,for the residents who lived nearby did their trading to thewestward and no one bothered about these isolated surviv­ors of the great days. Slowly, one by one, artists andwriters sought these ancient buildings and found herehospitable and inexpensive shelter."Many were artists imported to Chicago to meet thedemands of the Exposition; .others came from the Univer­sity community, and from scattered quarters throughout theChicago area. In these storefronts, yesterday's Bohemiafound the same advantages sought today in the lofts ofGreenwich Village or the pads on North Beach: space tolive, a reasonable $12.50 a month rent, and congenialneighbors.Among the first to move in were critic and writer FloydDell and his wife Margery Currey (Ben Hecht describedher studio as a "spacious abode in the reconstructed Chineselaundry on Stony Island Avenue.") In a corner studio nearthe Dells' dwelt B. J. o. Nordfeldt, the Swedish painter;Ralph Pearson, etcher next to him; and just beyond themwere Ernestine Evans, Mary Randolph, and ThorsteinVeblen.Writing to Arthur Davison Ficke in 1913, Floyd Delldescribed his studio:"It is 11: 30 P.M. I have just returned from the northside, where I have been seeing the Carys, to my ice coldstudio, where I have built a fire with scraps of linoleum,a piece of wainscoting, and the contents of an elaboratefiling system of four years creation. I am writing at a deskspattered with kalsomine, and lighted by four candles. Theroom contains one bookcase and nine Fels-Naphtha soapTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEboxes full of books counting the one full of books I amgiving away to get rid of them-a typewriter stand, a firelesscooker, a patent coat and trouser hanger, and a couch witha mattress and blanket. In this blanket I roll myself se­curely, and sleep till 5:30 A.M., when I am wakened bya Rood of daylight, also by the fact that my shoulders arecold. I wrap myself tighter, and sleep till 8 o'clock whenI get up, take a sketchy bath at a faucet, and go round thecorner for breakfast. In the window seat, along with myshirts, is a great bundle containing a magnificent and veryexpensive bolt of beautiful cloth for curtains for the win­dows. If I am ever able to pay for that and for my newsuit, I shall give a party, and you shall come and see thecombination of luxury and asceticism which will be thecharm of my studio. At present its only luxury consists inthat same asceticism ... "It was at a gathering here that Dell met TheodoreDreiser, and from Dreiser he learned of Edgar Lee Masters,who was to come and present Mitch Miller. Through hisbrother, Karl, a magazine illustrator, Sherwood Andersonwas introduced to the art colony, where he came to tellstories and read from his novel, Windy McPherson's Son.In Margery Currey's studio, Margaret Anderson made herannouncement of the Little Review to enthusiastic applause.This insolvent and illustrious publication (which made itslast bankrupt stand from a tent on what was variously-butinvariably cynically-reported as the beach of Glencoe,Ravinia, and Lake Forest) was a beacon to the writers ofthe colony.The list of those who came to the colony, who workedthere, talked there, and moved on is long. Carl Sandburg,reading poetry from manuscript, Vachel Lindsay intoninghis "Congo." Harry Hansen describes "Ben Hecht, alwaysin a spirited controversy with Maxwell Bodenheim over aplay or a poem, and "Bogie" himself, taciturn, ironical,pulling at a pipe with a long slender stem of bamboo andobviously happy to have women light the thimbleful oftobacco in the tiny brass bowl."These were what Ben Hecht has called Chicago's "quickand vivid years." 'There were hardly nine of them (1913-1922) -and during them Chicago found itself, mysteriously,a bride of the arts. Not gangster guns but literary credosbarked. New novelists, poets, painters and critics dottedits pavements and illumined its name.'MAY, 1961 At one point Theodore Dreiser proclaimed, "Some day,surely, Chicago would outstrip New York!" He had cer­tainly found in Chicago a good place to make a beginning:"I stood in the dusty little [Chicago] Globe office . . .Only six months before I had been jobless and hangingabout this back door; here I was tonight with as much asfifty dollars in my pocket, a suit of good clothes on myback, good shoes, a good hat and overcoat. I had learnedhow to write and was already classed here as a starreporter."It was also a place to make a reputation, according toDreiser: "Chicago at that time had seemed to be full ofexceptional young men in the reportorial world, men whoin one way or another had already achieved considerablelocal repute as writers and corning men: Finley PeterDunne, George Ade, Brand Whitlock, Ben King, CharlesStewart, and many others, some of whom even in that daywere already signing their names to some of their con­tributions; whereas, here in St. Louis, few if any of us hadachieved any local distinction of any kind. No one of UShad as yet created a personal or literary following. Wecould not, here, apparently; the avenues were not thesame. And none of us was hailed as certain to attractattention in the larger world outside."As the writers and artists were drawn to Chicago, theywere drawn to the company of their own kind. Ben Hecht:"But as long as you 'believed in art' you remained orphanedfrom the smothering arms of society. You shaved only whenyou wanted to and you felt a contempt in your head likea third glass of wine for all that was popular and successful.Mediocrity might wear a crown and rule all the rest of theworld, but at your side it was a beggar. You were divorcednot only from the crowd but from all its gods. And youselected gods to worship as lonely and disinherited asyourself ..."We aspired to no national magazines as outlets and wehad no interest in best-seller lists and book clubs."This tribal egoism did not make us better writers andartists. But it made us happier ones. I have never knownthe world to seem as small as it appeared in that time­almost as small and enchanted as it had been in the daysI sailed "The Seabird" out of its little cove in Racine."But Hecht did not remain in this small and enchantedworld for long-nor did many of the others. In 1923 Harry9Hansen observed, "Again and again men of mark havecome to Chicago to make it the fountain-head of theircultural work-again and again they have gone down intheir efforts or passed on, mostly to the east. The list ofemigres grows larger year by year." He wrote of themsadly as <those who came in on a freight and left on aPullman at a convenient time in their careers.'But even in their exile they did not seem able to breaktheir Chicago ties. Their books often reflect the people andhappenings they knew here, and their very descriptions ofNew York are filled with comparisons with their old home.Ben Hecht: <We had press agents and showmen in Chicago,but beside those in N ew York they were furtive fellows withtheir heads in a sack. They felt always a mite embarrassedin their scramble for newspaper plugs . . . In Chicago Ihad come on no Don Juans. In New York they appeared tobe blocking traffic . . . There were more stores, more enter­prises and larger crowds than in Chicago, and surprisingly,there was a greater friendliness in the streets . . .

The University ofChicago Press, 1961, 728 pp., $7.95.The attitude of Fred E. D'Amour hasalways been that it is his function to makehis students love physiology, even-perhapsparticularly-those students who take thecourse only to satisfy a curriculum request.Thus the first words of the first chapter ofthis textbook are: "This book is about you."Then in what Mr. D'Amour admits is afrank attempt to arouse curiosity, theauthor promises to answer such intriguingquestions as: "Can anything good be saidof a tapeworm?" "The Sippy diet. pre­scribes sips of what?" "If your gall bladderis infected, why does your right shoulderhurt?" This is not, however, a pre-digested,science-at-a-glance text. It contains muchmore than the basic essentials of the sub­ject and it is completely up to date in itsreference to such topics as drugs and treat­ment of disease. It can serve as the solebasic text for biology and hygiene coursesand there are valuable leads to furtherresearch for those who are interested. TheStructure of this highly original text is suchthat it can be adapted to courses of varyinglength and intensity at college, junior col­lege or science-oriented high school levels.THE HITTITE: by Noel B.

The University of ChicagoPress, 1961, 1,248 pp., $20.00.It is generally accepted that Europeanliterary criticism of the modern era isfounded on the principles established bythe Italian critics of the sixteenth centurywho adapted to modern use the traditionsof classical Greece, Rome, and the MiddleAges. Mr. Weinberg traces the course ofthis transformation in a work which will beof major scholarly importance. Hundreds ofdocuments, many of them manuscripts,never before considered in connection withRenaissance criticism, have been: studiedand analyzed in this survey.The first section of the book is devotedto "Poetic Theory," following the growthof three major critical traditions-those ofHorace, Plato, and Aristotle-and discussingthe new "arts of poetry" in the light ofthese. The second section, "Practical Criti­cism," studies the application of thesetheories to particular works. The greatliterary quarrels of the century, centeredaround Dante's Divina commedia, Speroni'sCanace, Ariosto's Orlando furioso, Tasso'sGerusalemme liberata, and Guarini's Pastor{ida, are given, for the first time, a compre­hensive historical treatment. Mr. Wein­berg's treatment of the whole subject yieldsan indispensable reference book in the gen­eral history of literary criticism.MARY CHURCH TERRELL-RESPECT­ABLE PERSON: by Gladys ByramShepperd, '27.

Wendell Harrison, then ActingChancellor of the University announcedMrs. Robinson's appointment thisMarch. "Much of the University ofChicago's reputation, both national andinternational, in the field of readingcentered around the work of WilliamScott Gray," he said."The appointment of Mrs. Robinsonto the William Scott Gray chair willinsure a continuance of the Universityof Chicago's long tradition of researchin reading and the application of thisresearch to improved practices in allthe personal, educational and socialaspects of reading."Mrs. Robinson, 55, first worked withProfessor Gray in 1931 when she wassuperintendent and psychologist at theSonia Shankman Orthogenic School ofthe Department of Education. She isnow a professor of education.Professor Gray died September 8,1960. He was professor emeritus atthe University for ten years prior tohis death.As William Scott Gray research pro­fessor, Mrs. Robinson becomes the 36th·member of the faculty to hold namedor distinguished service chairs. She isthe fifth woman to hold a name pro­fessorship. In her new position, Mrs.Robinson will devote herself almostentirely to conducting basic researchin the field of reading.From 1928 to 1931, she was Direc­tor, Bureau of Special Education, OhioState Department of Education and anAssistant Professor of Education atMiami University in Ohio. In 1931she came to the University of Chicagoand she was appointed director of theUniversity's Reading Clinics in 1944.In 1953 she took over the chairman­ship of the annual Reading Confer­ence from Professor Gray, a positionhe had held since 1937 when he organ­ized the first Conference. In the 23years of its existence, the annual con­ference has been attended by thousandsof teachers and school officers from allsections of the country. More than ahundred thousand copies of the pro­ceedings have been published and usedthroughout the country as guides inimproving reading.In 1953 Mrs. Robinson also estab­lished a four week, intensive programfor teachers of reading, the ReadingWorkshop. This program has attractedparticipants from all the states and suchforeign countries as Canada and Swe­den.READING RESEARCH- The first ex-MAY, 1961 NEW 5 0 F the quadranglestensive research in the field of readingat the University of Chicago was de­veloped under the direction of Dr.Charles H. Judd, appointed director ofthe School of Education of the Uni­versity, and head of its Department ofEducation in 1909.From the first decade of the twentiethcentury until the 1930's, investigationsinvolving the photographic recording ofeye movements while reading werecarried on. This research gave insightinto the process of how people readand laid the groundwork for significantchanges in reading instruction.When Professor William Scott Grayfirst joined the faculty of the Universityin 1914, the study of reading was stillin its infancy. Professor Gray's workin this field quickly established himas a leader, and the University of Chi­cago as a center of information un­excelled in the United States.In 1916, while an instructor at theUniversity of Chicago, Professor Gray. published the standardized Oral Read­ing Paragraphs and Silent ReadingTests. He applied them in five signifi­cant surveys, demonstrating the greatvalue of objective tests of reading indetermining the achievement of pupilsand in studying differences in the prog­ress of pupils of different nationalityand of pupils taught under differentconditions. In 1922 he prepared themost penetrating work devoted toremedial cases in reading, calling at­tention to various unusual types ofdifficulties children encounter in learn­ing to read, and demonstrating themethods by which such cases could behelped.Two years later, in 1924, ProfessorGray began a collection of articles andbooks dealing with research in reading.The Gray Collection of Research inReading which he kept up to date untilhis death, and which is now maintainedby Mrs. Robinson, is unique. Todayit numbers over 4500 articles and books;and brings researchers to the Universityof Chicago from all other parts of thenation.One year after Gray started this col­lection, in 1925, he published a sum­mary of all the works on the subjectwhich had been published prior to thestart of his library.Since 1925 annual summaries of in-. vestigations relating to reading havebeen prepared, thus making it possiblefor students to orient themselves quick­ly in the research aspects of reading.Early in the 1920's reading retarda­tion studies were undertaken. The mostintensive study of causes of readingMRS. ROBINSONdisability yet completed was done inthe early 1940's. The famous Univer­sity of Chicago Reading Clinic openedin 1944. Since that time, the publica­tions of the Clinic have included re­ports of research. In addition, confer­ences are held to explore new areasneeding research.The structured interview method ofreading research was adopted early butyielded the greatest contribution in1956 when Mr. Gray's Maturity inReading was published.Current areas of investigation in­clude: (1) improving practice inschools through the application of newresearch knowledge; (2) the mosteffective means for improving vocabu­lary; (3) visual and auditory percep­tion and vision problems of children;( 4) brain damage as it affects learn­ing to read.13LATIN AMERICAN BROADCASTS­The University of Chicago has recently.completed production of three half­hour radio discussions in Latin-Amer­ican Spanish, at the request of TheVoice of America. The programs, apart of the U. S. Information Agency'sincreasing attention to Latin America,dealt with secondary education in theUnited States, undergraduate educationat the University of Chicago, and theGraduate Divisions of the University.Bernardo Blanco-Gonzalez, associateprofessor of Romance Languages, leda group of both North and SouthAmerican students and. professors inthe discussions.It is anticipated that about six uni­versities in the country will product:such programs. The tapes prepared bythe University of Chicago are beingused as pilot guides by the other uni­versities involved. The Voice of Amer­ica responded to the programs statingthat "the enthusiasm of the participantsis infectious and the production leavesnothing to be desired."THEOLOGY BY MAIL-Two graduate­level courses in theology by mail havebeen started by the Home-Study De­partment. They are "Introduction toReligious Existentialism," and "Tragedy,Comedy, and Human Existence."Taught by two distinguished facultymembers of the Divinity School, theyare offered primarily as continuing edu­cation for clergymen-but are open alsoto the concerned layman. Perry D.LeFevre, currently associate professorof theology and education, will teachthe correspondence course in religiousexistentialism; Nathan A. Scott, asso­ciate professor of theology and litera­ture will conduct "Tragedy, Comedy,and Existence."Like all University of Chicago Home­Study offerings, the two courses in the­ology will be conducted entirely by mail,with the two faculty members person­ally evaluating students' papers. Thecourses may be taken for credit to­ward an advanced degree. Those inter­ested may enroll at any time.WELFARE-In an open letter ad­dressed to the new secretary of theDepartment of Health, Education andWelfare, former Connecticut governorAbraham Ribicoff, a leading group ofauthorities in the social welfare fieldsays that the welfare activities of HEWneed to be consolidated into a newfull-Hedged agency. The letter is printed14 in the March, 1961 issue of The SocialService Review, a professional journaldirected to social service teachers,workers and welfare administrators.Alton A. Linford, dean of the Schoolof Social Service Administration at theUniversity and chairman of the edi­torial board of the Social Service Re­view which signed the open letter, says"We are strongly in favor of and re­spectfully recommend the establishmentof a public welfare agency as a con­stituent agency in the Departmentdirectly responsible to you and co-ordi­nate with the Public Health Service,the Office of Education, and the SocialSecurity Administration. The presentresponsibilities and activities of theBureau of Public Assistance and theChildren's 'Bureau and of welfare pro­grams in the future would be placedin the new Public Welfare Service."The open letter also calls for the crea­tion of "an advisory group to considerthese and other proposals." It con­tinues, "Recently the Department ofHealth, Education and Welfare had anAdvisory Council on Public Assistanceand an Advisory Council on Child Wel­fare Services. We suggest that anequally distinguished group be estab­lished to consider a welfare serviceplan and make recommendations onprogram and structure for a new Pub­lic Welfare Service."LIBERAL EDUCATION -Excerptsfrom Dean of the College Alan Simp­son's contribution to the UniversityAssembly Series at Washington Uni­versity, St. Louis, Missouri:Any education that matters is liberal.All the saving truths and healing gracesthat distinguish a good education froma bad one or a full education froma half-empty one are contained in thatword. Whatever ups and downs theterm "liberal" suffers in the politicalvocabulary, it soars above all contro­versy in the educational world. In theblackest pits of pedagogy the squirm­ing victim has only to ask, "What'sliberal about this?" to shame his per­secutors. In times past a liberal edu­cation set off a free man from a slaveor a gentleman from laborers and arti­sans. It now distinguishes whatevernourishes the mind and spirit from thetraining which is merely practical orprofessional or from the trivialitieswhich are not training at all. Such aneducation involves a combination ofknowledge, skills, and standards. . .The standards which mark an edu­cated man can be expressed in termsof three tests.The first is a matter of sophistication. Emerson put it nicely when he talkedabout getting rid of "the nonsense ofour wigwams." The wigwam may bean uncultivated home, a suburban con­formity, a crass patriotism, or a crampeddogma.The second test is a matter of moralvalues. We do not really believe thata college is doing its job when it issimply multiplying the number of edu­cated scoundrels, hucksters, and triflers.Finally there is the test imposed bythe unique challenge of our own times.We are not unique in suffering frommoral confusion-these crises are afamiliar story-but we are unique inthe tremendous acceleration of the rateof social change and in the tremendousrisk of a catastrophic end to all ourhopes. We cannot afford educated menwho have every grace except the giftfor survival. An indispensable markof the modern educated man is thekind of versatile, flexible mind that candeal with new and explosive conditions.SHOOTING FOR A HIGHER MARK-Coach Joe Stampf and his basketballteam, with a 15-3 record behind themthis year, went on to win the first roundof the National Collegiate Athletic As­sociation (NCAA) college divisiontournament in March. One of 32 teamschosen for the college division, it wasthe first time any U of C team had beeninvited to play in such a national tour­nament. The Maroons won their pre­liminary Great Lakes region playoffsby defeating MacMurray College andLincoln University, but went down todefeat in the final tournament at Evans­ville, Ind., with a 67-41 loss to South­east Missouri.This year the team made its bestrecord in many years and the schedulewas more difficult than ever beforeincluding teams such as the Universityof Detroit, ranked in the top twentyin the nation. Next year the team willgo East for the first time, with onegame already scheduled at MIT andanother possible match being consid­ered in that area.Three sophomore starters of this yearwill add strength to the coming season.One of them, Joe Zemans, the team'sleading scorer, was named to the Asso­ciated Press Little All-American Teamselections this spring. He is the firstU of C player so honored since Mr.Stampf himself received All-Americanmention 20 years ago playing for theMaroons. Commenting on next sea­son's chances, Mr. Stampf believes theteam will be as good or better nextyear-but may make a poorer recordbecause of more challenging games. •THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEIt has been said that theproper interest of science ata university is in test tubesand in teaching. But, itisn't necessarily assimple as all that.AMONG THEMANYINTERESTS OFSCIENCEa collection of science reportsMAY, 1961 DOCTORS HRUBAN AND WISSLERWorking in the pathology labs at Billings, two doctors have found evi­dence that a new combination of three drugs shows promise in slowingthe growth of one form of lymphatic cancer in laboratory animals. Theyare Dr. Robert W. Wissler, professor and chairman of the Department ofPathology, and Dr. Zdenek Hruban, a fellow in the Department, who didthe work as a Public Health Service Research Fellow of the NationalCancer institute. Dr. Hruban is now an American Cancer Society ClinicalFellow.In the scientific periodical, Cancer Research, they reported experimentswith these drugs: Beta-3- Thienylalanine, a amino acid antagonist; Desoxy­pyridoxine, an anti-B-6 vitamin; Phenylpyruvate, a protective chemical fornormal cells. They said that the three-drug combination reduced theweight of an experimental tumor called Murphy-Sturm lymphosarcoma toabout one-fourth the weight of untreated cases. When the drugs werestopped, the growth resumed."The combination appears to be promising in the treatment of lym­phomas," they said, adding "To obtain a tumor regression, however, itapparently will be necessary to inhibit the tumor transaminases (enzymeswhich change the state of amino acids) more specifically."The basic component in their study is B3T A, an amino acid analogueand protein growtb antagonist. In 1956, Dr. Wissler reported that B3TAhad the ability to inhibit tumor growth without damaging normally rapidly15dividing cells of such organs as bOll� marrow, testes and intestinal walls inrats.In one aspect of the new research, higher dosages of B3TA were studied.Then the anti-B-6 vitamin (desoxypyridoxine) was combined with B3TA tostudy their additive effect on tumor weight. With either drug individually,the weight of the tumors of treated animals fell about 50 per cent comparedwith those which were untreated. Together, B3TA and DB6 producedan additive effect, with laboratory findings of tumors weighing only about25 per cent of those untreated.When an undesirable side effect of B3TA with the DB6 treatmentweakened the animals, the third drug, phenylpyruvate, was added in smallamounts to keep the action of the protein antagonist away from normaltissues.This three-way combination "appears to be of greater advantage to thehost than to the tumor," the scientists concluded. •In another research project, Dr. Wissler has reported that fatty acidswhich combine with cholesterol to irritate blood vessel walls may. be apotential cause of hardening of the arteries. In the project, three fats withdifferent fatty acid characteristics-butter, coconut oil, and corn oil-weregiven to 12 Cebus monkeys.The four monkeys fed the corn oil diet had no arterial wall damage.Among the four monkeys receiving a ration containing butter fat, threehad mild arterial lesions and one monkey's lesions were more severe. Inthe third group, fed a diet containing coconut oil, all had arterial walldamage.The biochemical pathways of the three types of fat were traced withradioisotopes through the body. The study included analysis of the rateof synthesis and retention of cholesterol in the liver, cholesterol level inthe blood stream, deposit. of cholesterol and fatty acids and other lipidsin the wall of the aorta, the main artery arising from the heart which isthe most frequent site of arteriosclerosis; and finally, at the end of the45 week experiment, microscopic study of the monkey's aortic tissue toassess damage.Before the three types of fat were fed to the monkeys, their fatty acidcontent was chemically analyzed. The chemical analysis showed highestconcentrations of the following:Coconut Oil54% lauric acid20% myristic acid Corn oil54% linoleic acid31% oleic acidButter Fat30% oleic acid28% palmitic acid17% stearic acidIn the liver, it was found that both coconut oil and butter fat increasedcholesterol manufacture, while corn oil did not. After the experiment hadbeen in progress for 30 weeks, a radioisotope tag showed that the liver wasretaining twice as much radioactive labeled cholesterol in the butter-fat-fedmonkeys as in the corn oil group; that those monkeys who were fed coco­nut oil retained about three and one half times as much labeled cholesterolas the corn oil group.In the blood stream, cholesterol levels of the coconut oil group werealmost twice as high as the corn oil group after 45 weeks. However, therewas little difference noted between the butter fat and corn oil groups,Dr. Wissler reports.Even though diet consumption was carefully equalized more cholesterolwas deposited in the aorta walls of the coconut fed monkeys than eithertheir butter or corn oil fed counterparts, with cholesterol levels as follows:Cocount oil 291 mgj%Corn oil 210 mg/%Butter fat 185 mgj%When a chemi�al study was made of the fatty acids which had combinedwith cholesterol in the deposit on the blood vessel walls, there was a signifi­cant difference in the amount of each acid found.Microscopic examination of arterial walls of the coconut oil fed monkeysdisclosed that another step in the disease process apparently takes place16 THE "most exciting" find of Sumer­ian art and sculpture since beforeW orId War II has been reported tothe Oriental Institute by one of its .expeditions in the field. Accordingto Field Director and Field Archi­tect of the expedition Richard C.Haines, the expedition, now com-,pleting its season, has been diggingat Nippur, ancient holy city ofBabylonia. The excavators are un­earthing the temple of Inanna, thegoddess of love and war, who oc­cupied a position in ancient Sumercomparable to that of Ishtar andAphrodite in later times.Mr. Haines has reported, "Thefind consists of more than 50 im­portant pieces including ritual ob­jects and temple gifts made ofalabaster, lapis lazuli, marble, andlimestone. More than half of thecollection is statues of men andwomen: one is of a green translucentstone and gold head. Most of thestatues are standing figures withhands clasped together in adorationof the diety; a few (like that shownhere) are seated." •After getting his doctorate, Subrah-.manyau Chandrasekhar came toYerkes Observatory of the Universityof Chicago in 1936 and has' beenthere ever since.

Dirac.To help make ends meet, he did addjobs including acting as a beater forpheasant hunters in Scotland. Whilestill a student he had submitted acomplex theoretical paper to theAstrophysical Journal. On the adviceof a noted physicist who reviewedthe paper, the editor rejected it.Back came a lafty letter from theyaung student: he conceded theright of the journal ta reject hispaper, and merely wanted to paintaut that the reviewer had beenwrong. The paper was published."The editors continue, "Over theyears his analytical ability and graspof mathematics have been unexcelledin astronomy or, for that matter, inall of physics."In mid-March, Chandra and eightather fareign-born citizens of theChicaga area were honored by theImmigrants Service League whenIllinois Gavernor Otto Kerner salutedthem for their 'outstanding contribu­tions to their adopted land. Alsofrom the University among thosehonored were Dr. Bruno Bettelheimand Mrs. Susanne Schulze. Dr.Bettelheim is professor of psychalogyand education at the University andprincipal of the Orthagenic Schoolfor emotionally disturbed children.An Austrian, he came to the U.S. in1939 after a year in concentrationcamps at Dachau and Buchenwald.Mrs. Schulze, a native of Germany,is a professor in the School of SocialService Administration, where shespecializes in child welfare work.The State Department has twicesent her to fareign countries to helporganize social service programs.Mr. Chandrasekhar is known pri­marily as the outstanding puretheorist in modern astronomy. How­ever, recently his work has shiftedtoward physics, particularly towardan interest in the behavior of ionizedgases in magnetic fields. He con­tinues ta edit the publication whichaver 25 years ago introduced him tofellow astronomers and physicistsalike, the Astrophysical Journal. Hehas received many honors andawards, including in 1953, the RayalAstronomical Society of London'sgold medal, considered the Nobelprize of astronomy, •MAY, 1961 under these conditions. Fatty acids' may irritate and stimulate arterialconnective tissue cells. These cells accumulate in small clusters to buildup large plaques. It is these plaques which may eventualy stop blood flawand cause death."Same of the chemical data indicate that the fatty acids which combinewith cholesterol may hold the key to this tendency of cholesterol to accumu­late and to irritate aortic tissue. Substitution of corn oil for coconut ailseems to protect against those effects an the vessel wall even thaugh ahigh fat diet similar in all ather constituents is fed in equal quantities.Cam ail contains different acids which seems to be less irritating to thevessel wall when they combine with the tissue lipids," according to Dr.Wissler.This is one of the first studies of the effect of diet on the chemicalconstituents of the hardened arteries carried aut in an animal whosemetabolic patterns resemble man's. Previous studies have usually beenlimited to observing the effects an blood cholesterol in man or have beencarried aut in animals which seem to react differently than man· to highfat diets. •DOCTORS LEROY AND HASTERLIKThe equipment before which Drs. Gearge V. LeRay and Robert J. Hasterlikare photagraphed represents a small part of the Atomic Energy Commis­sian's investment in the biological sciences on campus. This is the lawlevel gamma ray caunting facility in Argonne Cancer Research Hospital.In an "iran room" here-with walls of eight inches of steel and a quarter17of an inch of lead-patients can be tested for very minute amounts ofradiation.Considering that ACRH was built with Atomic Energy Commissionfunds and is supported yearly with over two million dollars of AECmoney, these Argonne staff professors were making something of a com­mand performance when they recently appeared before the Joint Com­mittee on Atomic Energy, Subcommittee on Research and Development.Dr. LeRoy, who is associate dean of the Division of Biological Sciences,and Dr. Hasterlik, who is associate director of ACRH, were among theten or 15 people to make reports before the Committee on the subject ofapplications of radioisotopes and radiation. Dr. LeRoy summarized briefly:"During the past 15 years, medical research and the availability ofmedically-important radioisotopes has had a profound influence on thediagnosis and treatment of disease. In hyperthyroidism, radioiodine isnow accepted as the treatment of choice; and the same is true for radio­phosphorus in polycythemia. There is general agreement that supervoltageis an improved tool for radiotherapy of cancer, and most hospitals canafford Cobalt-60 sources. Destruction of the pituitary using insolublebeads of radioyttrium brings about a prolonged remission in one-third totwo-fifths of patients with cancer of the breast or the prostate. It is arelatively simple procedure that can be tolerated even by very sick people.Medical diagnosis has been greatly benefitted by simple, reliable testsusing radioisotopes. There are now many situations where the isotope testis the most valuable procedure available to the modern doctor. Newtechniques have been devised to improve X-ray diagnosis, and at thesame time to reduce the amount of radiation needed for the examination."N 0 physician who has learned to use radioisotopes in his practice wouldever want to give them up. In the second quarter of the 20th Century,only sulfa drugs and antibiotics have had a greater influence on the qualityof medical care in the United States. The majority of the students who willgraduate from medical schools this year will have some knowledge of therole of radioisotopes and radiation in medicine."In addition to the remedial and diagnostic potentials of the new ma­terials, Dr. Hasterlik forecasts that trends in the use of radiations fromisotopes and high energy producing machines may result in the possibilityof increased cure rates or enhanced length of survival, in comfort, for thosepersons who could not be cured of their malignant tumors or adequatelytreated by older, conventional methods. •ON Saturday afternoon, March 3, an 833 block area of Chicago's southside was hit by a violent storm which left in its wake one person deadand 115 hurt, with damage estimated at $7,000,000. Saturday evening thenewspapers and TV carried the request of Tetsuya Fujita of the University'sdepartment of meteorology for photos of the storm or of the cloud forma­tions prior to the storm. Mr. Fujita's concern: was it a tornado?The black mother cloud and the whirling funnel of a tornado are notunknown to Chicago. The earliest twister on record in Chicago datesback to 1876, when one was recorded to have caused $250,000 damage.Since that time there have been eight tornadoes to touch down within thecity limits, not all of them causing as much damage as the 1876 one­some of them causing more. The most recent one hit at 120th and PrairieAvenue in August of 1958, and caused between $5,000 and $50,000.As is always true of Chicago tornadoes, the March 3 storm came out ofthe southwest. It was conforming to the pattern of these storms, whichappear in the early spring as far south as Texas, moving up throughOklahoma, into the Midwest, Canada and New England, as the summerprogresses.But to give such a storm the official designation of tornado is not neces­sarily a simple thing. Had there been photos of the expected funnel, or ofthe great rotating cloud from which the funnel might descend, a· quickidentification could have been possible. But no such photos are available.There were, however, reports of high winds, and the storm area covereda narrow path. On the day following the storm, Mr. Fujita went up in18 Meteors are the stone or iron bodiesthat come to this planet from space.Most burn up in the atmosphere as"falling stars." A few meteors oc­casionally survive the trip. These arecalled meteorites.A University of Chicago chemist,Edward Anders, this winter wasnamed winner of the $1,000 N ew­comb Cleveland Prize of the Ameri­can Association for the Advance­ment of Science for his paper givenat the last AAAS session. This out­standing paper, among 1,200 manu­scripts read at the meeting, estab-MR. ANDERSlished a new and direct link betweenmeteorites and asteroids. His analy­sis of the temperatures of meteorites,based on clues from radioactivedecay, showed that the meteoritesmaintained a frigid mean readingof 120 degrees below zero fahrenheitfor nearly four and a half billionyears. This temperature enabled himto calculate that the meteorites camefrom asteroids no larger than 300miles in diameter orbiting betweenMars and Jupiter.Upon receiving the award, Mr.Anders reviewed the discoveries ofTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEscientists throughout the world basedon their investigations of meteoritesin the last few years:"The sudden upsurge of interestin meteorites may in part have beencaused by the onset of the space age,or by the development of new ex­perimental techniques," accordingto Mr. Anders. "An even more im­portant factor seems to have been thegrowing realization that the meteor­ites are not only interesting in theirown right, but that they also holdthe answers to many fundamentalquestions having no obvious con­nection with them."According to Mr. Anders, "Someof these questions are: the originand age of the chemical elements;the origin of life; the age of theearth; the relation between cosmicrays and the sun; and even suchdown-to-earth ones as the wearingaway of missile nose cones duringpassage through the atmosphere."The study of meteorites, involvingresearch in cosmic rays and radio­active elements, is providing newknowledge in all these areas.Viewed from the standpoint oflearning about the nature of cosmicradiation, Mr. Anders said that "ameteorite is nothing but a 'poorman's space probe' that was launchedquite unceremoniously somewhere inthe asteroidal belt sometime duringthe last two billion years and wasrecently recovered without assistancefrom the Air Force."At the present rate of progress inthe study of meteorites,' "one canconfidently predict that . . . inanother two years or so we shouldhave quite a thorough understandingof the nuclear events that precededthe formation of the solar system.It is fascinating to realize," he said,"that man is now able to reconstructevents that took place long beforethe origin of life, long before theorigin of the earth, and possiblyeven before the origin of the sun."Studies by scientists at the Univer­sity of California, indicate the pres­ence in some meteorites of organicmolecules of "remarkable complex­ity." "These molecules show a closeSimilarity to the building blocks ofliving matter," he said. "The meteor­ites from which these compoundsWere isolated are at least 4.5 billionyears old, nearly four billion yearsMAY, 1961 a helicopter to make an aerial survey of the damage area.Mr. Fujita explains that the funnel of a tornado forms an elipse, ratherthan a circle. The funnel covers a small area, the distance across it beingfrom less than two to a maximum of three miles. The funnel is made byrapidly circulating winds, always moving in a counterclockwise direction;it is in itself colorless, visible only by the dust and debris it picks up andMR. FUJITAthe darker condensing vapor of its mother cloud being pulled down intoit by the low pressure at its center. The funnel might leave a straight andnarrow path, it might skip on its path, or it might wander. Typically, onlyone edge of the funnel scrapes along the ground, leaving parallel stripsof more intense destruction on an angle to the path of the storm.The aerial survey immediately confirmed the long, narrow path of thestorm: one block wide and seven miles long - sixty times longer than itwas wide. No straight wind can maintain that long a path: the storm wasa tornado.The first signs of damage appeared at gIst and Western, according toMr. Fujita. From there, the storm moved to about 88th and Ashland; thento 84th and Halsted; to 80th and State; to 76th and Cottage Grove; to 72ndand Stony Island, 70th and Jeffery and finally to 68th and Lake Michigan.This was the first tornado to originate and stay within city limits. Thestorm's . swath measured 200 to 300 feet wide and included 53� miles ofcontinuous damage. The shape of the funnel and the direction of itscirculating winds were indicated by the parallel ridges formed by the oneedge of the funnel as it "dug in" as it moved toward the lake, and by thedirection of the fall of the trees uprooted by the winds - all pointingabout 26 degrees north of the straight path of the storm.The storm, Mr. Fujita calculates, moved frontally at speeds between40 and 60 miles per hour. It was a much smaller tornado than average.It lasted from seven to ten minutes, although the accompanying cloud­burst was at least 20 minutes long.As an expert on severe storms, Mr. Fujita typically deals with muchlarger concerns than a local tornado. The University's Severe Storms Re­search Project has work ranging from the continuous observation of cloudsand their movements (done summers on location in northern Arizona), towork correlating ground, aerial and satellite photos of cloud formations.Additional data is also obtained from radar scanning the whole sky, fromweather bureau reports, and airline pilots' reports. Mr. Fujita particularlyanticipates a proposed synchronization of ground photos (sponsored bythe Illinois Water Survey Division) with those taken by a future Tyrossatellite flight.However, here in his office in the Meteorology building just northof the Alumni House, he can anticipate plenty of interesting and evenrather severe weather. He points out with considerable enthusiasm thatthe Midwest is "number one in tornadoes," But on March 3: "I was seatedhere in my office, and it did look much like tornado weather. It's mybaby ... and I didn't even know it had happened." He laughs ami says,"But it was a very small funnel." •19Let your spiritexpand in this landof magic charm ...Visit us.

Some meteorite studiesindicate that there has been no greatvariation of the intensity of cosmicrays in the last one to two billionyears, he said.Some of the meteorite's value asa space probe comes from its irregu­lar orbit, which produces a recordof cosmic ray variations in differentlocations in space over a long periodof time.Mr. Anders described meteoritesas "the most ancient relics of theearly solar system. They are the rawmaterial of which the earth, itsmountains and its living creaturesare the final product. For all prac­tical purposes, their history ended4.5 billion years ago, just when thehistory of the planets began," hesaid. "Since that time, the meteoriteshave experienced only the subtlestchanges, having been stored underdeepfreeze conditions."He drew this general picture ofcosmic chronology based on generalresearch on meteorites:-Nearly five billion years ago, the solarsystem separated from the rest of thegalaxy.-In the next lOa-million years, asteroidsof less than 300 miles in diameter formedfrom the primitive and radioactive dustcloud. Decaying radioactivity heated themass, possibly to the extent of producingvolcanoes.-In the next 100-million years, someasteroids coalesced to form planets. Otherasteroids kept their identity, cooled to sub­zero temperatures and remained in orbit ina heavy concentration 200 to 300 millionmiles from the sun-between Mars andJupiter. This was the era about 4.5 billionyears ago.-"Surprising information" based on thestudy of extinct radioactivity, reveals thatthe earth seems to have formed 150 to200 million years after the formation ofasteroids.-Since then, the asteroids have beencircling and colliding with each other, pro­ducing rubble perhaps at the rate of abillion tons a year. From this rubble,meteors occasionally strike the earth's at­mosphere after traveling millions of yearsthrough space. The small ones burn up inthe air, the larger ones-perhaps 500 a year+survive as meteorites. But only a smallpercentage are ever found, only four found their way into scientific hands in the pasttwo years.Mr. Anders said that as a result ofrecent studies the time of the me­teorites' space journey has becomemore definitely fixed. Stone meteor­ites were enroute for 30 millionyears, iron meteorites about 100million years. Some meteorites madethe trip in two million years; otherstook as long as two billion years.New research also has establishedthat meteorites did not originate ina single collision but were producedcontinuously and probably are stillbeing formed. Other recent advanceshave enabled scientists to re-createthe shape of the original meteoritefrom the pattern of effects left by. cosmic rays before it hit the atmos­phere. The length of time that ameteorite has been on earth canbe determined, since the atmospherecuts off the primary cosmic raybombardment. •THE NEW CHICAGO CHAIRAn attractive, sturdy, comfortablechair finished in jet black withgold trim and gold silk-screenedUniversity shield.$30.00Order from and make checks pay­able toTHE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION5733 University Ave., Chicago 37Chairs will be shipped express col­lect from Gardner, Mass. withinone month.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE00-20JAMES H.

MAYFIELD, SM'44, asso­ciate professor of chemistry at Long BeachState College, Long Beach, Calif., is amember of a research team at Long Beachwhich has made a major breakthrough inthe search for the chemical basis of plantflowering.
