FEBRUARY 1962Chemistry paints a bright future for your carForget about burning sun and foul weather. The finish on new carsis as tough as it is beautiful. Chemicals developed through research at UnionCarbide have played an important part in achieving smooth, hard mirror-bright coatings that last for years.Chemicals and plastics have also caused a revolution in other typesof paints and finishes in recent years. The result? Water-base latex paintsthat beautify your home— and dry in minutes— have turned a time-consumingchore into a simple job for any homeowner. Special solvents assure the uniformsurface required in the finishing of fine furniture. And many new chemical materials are going into coatings to safeguard industrial equipment from moistureand corrosive fumes . . . and to protect ships from the ravages of salt water.This is an example of a vital industry that has forged aheadbecause of the kind of chemical research that goes on at Union Carbide.Looking to the future, the people of Union Carbide are continuing theirefforts to bring forth new and better materials for everyday living.See the "Atomic Energy in Action" Exhibit at the new Union Carbide Building in New York.

Snow's idea of the modernintellectual dichotomy of twoQuhures — scientific and humanistic —was attacked by Lloyd Falters,professor in the department ofAnthropology, in the October issue°f the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists.ti ere are excerpts from his argument:. ^at Snow neglects, both in his analysis of modernJteflectual We and in his thinking about contemporary^national problems, is the third culture— the body^ bought which forms the intellectual ancestry otm°<Jern social science and which grew up preciselyn ^e context of the modernization of our own society,J8 the product of Western intellectuals' efforts tottderstand and cope with this process.*<* at least three hundred years— almost as long as^at^ral science in any modern sense can be said to have^sted^powerful intellects have been grappling with^Problem of the proper application of scientific^es of thought to the systematic understanding ot'0ciety and culture. Thomas Hobbes, who taught us*Uch about the nature of the modern secular state,1 as a contemporary of Galileo and shared much of theIter's intellectual perspective; David Hume stood in* s|milar relation to Newton. Today we regard these"arly attempts at social science as simple-mindedly^entistic-they attempted to apply too directly theS**epts of early natural science. But the point is that% were made, and continued to be made with in-^asing SUCCesS, all during the time when modernJ^ty was eme; m in thl West. By the end 1 o [theJghteenth century, Adam Smith had ^edJ^Z* should today call a breakthrough by *jyo^m *e economic processes of the market a field for theFEBRUARY, 1962 successful application of utilitarian theory. By themiddle of the nineteenth century, Tocqueville had explained the most general features of modern populistpolitics— the politics characteristic of modern societies—through an analysis of the French and Americanrevolutions. Marx had isolated one of the principalinstitutional differentia of industrial society: an occupational structure, based upon the new industries,which for the first time in history required the ordinaryman to separate his working life from his domesticand community life, with far-reaching consequencesfor the structure of society.Throughout these decades and centuries there wasmuch controversy over just how far, and in what sense,science is applicable to human affairs. There wereextremists on both sides: social physicists and socialDarwinists who attempted slavishly and unsuccessfullyto copy the methods of physical and biological science,and romantic humanists who rejected out of hand thevery idea of systematic understanding of human societyand culture. But there was also a solid central development toward successful synthesis of humanistic andscientific modes of understanding, for which JakobBurckhardt in the middle of the nineteenth centuryand Max Weber at the beginning of the twentiethmay be taken as representative figures. If the synthesisis not yet complete (and what intellectual task everis?), enough has been achieved that arguments aboutscience versus humanism in the study of society andculture are beside the point, for both are required forthe understanding of these particular data; there aresome things about society and culture^ including specifically modern society and culture, which we nowunderstand with some clarity. Of course social scienceis not the same thing as natural science. It studies different things with different techniques. But the resultsof the work of Smith, Tocqueville, and Marx referredto above are as surely science, in the broader sense ofmans effort to achieve systematic understanding ofthe world, as are those of Copernicus, Darwin, andBohr. With all their real and necessary differences,they share a common underlying attitude. . . .Social scientists seem to have failed in at least twoaspects. As contributors to general education, theyhave failed to convey to students a conception of theparticular kinds of intellectual problems social sciencecan solve and the kinds of concepts required for thesolution of those problems. As participants in thewider intellectual community, they have failed in thesame way to engage the serious attention of theircolleagues in the natural sciences and humanities.Much of the difficulty on both counts probably stemsfrom social scientists' lack of appreciation of the distinctiveness of their own problems and intellectual tradition. Perhaps because they pay too little attention totheir intellectual history, they forget, and neglect tomake available to their students and colleagues, thesolid accomplishments of their predecessors. In theiranxiety to achieve respectability in the eyes of theirscientific and humanistic colleagues, they tend to become either gadgety, scientistic, and hence trivial, because the particular methods of natural science areusually not really appropriate to their purposes, or elsethey become pompously anti-intellectual and falsely"literary." Still another result of the prevailing insecurity among social scientists about their work is atendency to make inflated claims for its practical applicability. All this, of course, is self-defeating. Socialscientists will become effective teachers and colleaguesonly when they develop sufficient self-respect to pursuetheir own problems in their own way.But this is the least important aspect of the matter.Competitive boasting and mutual deprecation amongthe academic specialties will always be with us — akind of academic equivalent of the "battle of thesexes," which we should accept with resigned goodhumor as a hazard of our calling. It is when Snowextends his oversimplifications to the developmentproblems of the new states that the issue becomesreally serious. Only natural science and engineering,he says, understand progress of the sort that the newstates need. He would therefore have us competewith the Soviets by becoming technocratic barbarians,deliberately ignoring the social and cultural prerequisites and consequences of technological modernization. There is no room for doubt concerning ourduty to aid development with all our strength; andwe should not, within very broad limits, impose ideological conditions. The men of the new states are theirown masters; we have no right to lecture them ontheir future. But neither have we any right to encourage them in technocratic simplifications which weknow to be false. Only by shutting our minds to thewhole body of social scientific thought can we remainindifferent to the responsibilities which the knowledgeembodied in that tradition imposes. As members ofan intellectual company which, like that of naturalscience, knows no boundaries of nationality, we mustshare with the men of the new states, as colleaguesand equals, the knowledge which the study of our ownexperience of modernization has yielded. ¦JOHN R. PLATT:in his new book, The Excitementof Science, sees science as a sourceof growth rather than eventualdestruction. A professor of physics,his main professional work has beenin the areas of chemical physicsand biophysics. G<— ^OOD is natural to men. But it grows by beingmade possible. It is a common belief among humanistand moralists and those who have alienated themselvesfrom science that science and technology have neverbrought us anything but material goods. This is a blindness, I believe. Consumer goods are the least of the*gifts. Goods and power and knowledge were only th«preconditions for the abolition of dogma and feudalist*and slavery, for the increase of human welfare andhope, for the enlargement of our horizons and ou*communications and our sympathies, and for thegrowth of our responsibility as masters of our ow*1earth and our humility as children of the cosmos. Arenot these goods of the spirit? Is it science, or ourown limitations, that have made some of its gifts 1^inspiring?wTTE have always known, really, that virtue andgoodwill are not enough, and that real goodness demands the widest possible understanding. Job, that go°°man, in his suffering says, Show me my guilt! Bu1what God shows him instead is his ignorance, hi*ignorance and helplessness before the great naturalforces of the world. It was the first Ph.D. examination*as Harlow Shapley once said; and the candidate failed;I think that in this enigmatic story there is a propheticpoint that is often missed. The message of Job is thatwe should be humble before the ruthless magnificenceof the universe. We should admire and accept it because we are all so small and sinful and life is fshort. But at the end I think the book may also Desuggesting that we will someday use the minds *ewere given to look nature in the face and to helpourselves as much as we can.A man may be narrow and petty, but if he onceaccepts the scientific test of truth, the test of objectiveand reproducible and interrelated fact, he has openedhis mind to correction and growth. Even his pettinessbegins to be used to interact with and to correct theexcesses of others and to contribute to the collectiveestablishment of knowledge. Scientists today interactwith each other so much that they begin to think <Jthemselves as cells in a collective mind, thinking a»Jcriticizing and creating together. If one drops out,another takes his place. What is done is done by manyat once and indeed is done by all. American andRussian, British and German, Hungarian and Japanese,whether they are allowed to talk to each other or not,their results move together and all their ideas contribute in the end.The collective mind is moving toward one truth,ie planet, and one enterprise. It is the mind of manthe operator, man the decider, beginning to operatetor man s purposes with all the truth he knows. It lSleading us toward the highest good we know as TOffthe fullest development of the powers and responsibilities of the whole human race.

In it they statethat "community shelters are obviouslynecessary," and refute the notion thatthe building of such shelters wouldsubstantially effect the probability of anuclear war.They also condemn the signers^ otfirst letter for advocating a vague "alternative policy when none exists. . .The only tenable policy is simultaneously to seek a basis for agreement ondisarmament and to fill the obviousgaps in our defenses."MORE MAROONS -The ChicagoMaroon, University student newspaper,experimented with daily publicationduring autumn quarter.

The countries are:United States, Australia, Japan, Brazil,India, Canada, Israel, Italy, Norway,Poland, Germany, Switzerland, Ireland,United Arab Republic, Iraq, and England.Most of the results were reported inSeptember this year at the International Conference on the Earth Stormand Cosmic Rays, in Japan.But this did not alter the challengeto record cosmic rays of the very highest energies. The energies of the cosmicray events recorded in the Caribbeanstack were not high enough to indicateclearly the nature of the particle core.If the current mission is successful,the ICEF again will be involved in theanalysis. Mr. Koshiba said he is hopeful that the work can be done entirelyat the University of Chicago this time,by having ICEF scientists obtain leavefrom their institutions to come to theUniversity rather than "farming out"the plates, as was done previously.SANSKRIT PHILOSOPHY-Imagine aliterature which excludes tragedy, discontent, strife or uneasiness. This isthe philosophy of Sanskrit, an ancientHindu literature, which was discussedin a series of lectures at the Universitybv an Indian scholar who is consideredthe world's foremost interpreter otSanskrit aesthetic theory.He is Professor Sushil Kumar De,professor emeritus of Sanskrit at theUniversities of Dacca, Calcutta, andTadapur, who presented a lecture seriesentitled "Sanskrit Poetics in the Lightof Western Aesthetics." The lectureswere part of the University observanceof the centennial of the birth of theIndian poet Rabindranath Tagore, aNobel Prize recipient.In explaining the theory of Sanskrit,Professor De said: "Sanskrit provides atranquility of the mind. It helps you riseabove all trouble. It's a contemplationof the beautiful. It makes you forgetthe ugly things of life."The Sanskrit literature embodies theRasa theory of philosophy which is the"sentimental or emotional realizationwhich comes from the contemplation**B; Kuary of things of beauty, Professor De said,adding:"I would say that this philosophy isgood in that it brings contemplation tothe individual. But I also would bequick to add that it is harmful in thecontext that this type of philosophydoes not provide a sense of materialism,which, perhaps is necessary for survivalin the modern world."UNIVERSITY'S SPACE AGE ROLE-James E. Webb, administrator of theNational Aeronautics and Space Administration, recently assessed the University's contributions to the U.S. spaceprogram.The Pioneer V, he pointed out, was"the most successful experiment perhaps we have had." Dr. John Simpson,professor in the Department of Physicsand the Enrico Fermi Institute forNuclear Studies, conceived the apparatus for the satellite.Mr. Webb added, "Some of the mostimportant measurements we tookthroughout the 20 million miles in connection with deep space probe, andsome of the most interesting work thatwe now are developing for this countryin terms of understanding the earth-sunrelationships and the tremendous advances that scientists are makingthrough being able to go out beyondthe earth's atmosphere and conduct experiments—the actual conduct of theexperiments, the gathering of the data,the design of the apparatus to take themeasurements and the reduction of thisdata for application— a great deal of themost advanced work is being doneright here."Another example of University workwas cited in satellite weather reporting.Mr. Webb explained that the U.S. isready with an international meteorological satellite weather reporting system that will add television picturestaken from 400 miles above the earth,and infrared information which is produced and transmitted back to earthfrom the same satellites."One of the main problems," headded, "is how to identify the specificplace that the picture was taken, andthe specific area from which the infrared data came. A very outstandingprofessor at the University named Tet-suya Fujita (research associate, Department of Geophysical Sciences) hasworked out this system. His work withthe United States Government is goingto be used ... for a workshop with28 nations including the USSR, inWashington to try to relate the practical application of space to the accurate understanding and further workand ability to predict weather/9, 1962An Introduction to the Field ofAFRICAN LEGAL STUDIESby Denis V CowenProfessor of Law andDirector of the Centre forLegal Research (New Nations)Professor Cowen came to the Unrversity of Chicago Law School fromthe University of Cape Town,Union of South Africa, where he wasrecognized as the outstanding member of the faculty . Often mentionedas a possible Prime Minister of hiscountry,his devotion to democraticprinciples and his academic abilityare reflected in these exerpts froma speech addressed to alumni ofour Law School:10 I understand that Americans regard post-prandialspeeches very much as Frenchmen regard wine: to theFrenchman, a meal without wine is like a day withoutsun. And as sun is an important commodity — especially in Chicago in mid-winter — I hesitated befoi'eaccepting Dean Edward Levi's invitation to talk aboutsuch heavy matters as teaching and research, for feaiof leaving you in bleak fog rather than the desired sunshine. I hesitated all the more when I reflected uponwhat I was being led into — nothing less than a voyageof exploration on a turbulent and comparatively uncharted sea, with only the most rudimentary naviga'tional aids to guide me. For you will appreciate thain the field of African legal studies all is at present ina state of flux. Dramatic and rapid change is thedominant fact almost everywhere in this area; indeein some places the much-publicized winds of changhave now reached hurricane force.This naturally has an intimate bearing on the natuiand possibilities of significant academic work in tnttfield. Unless one concerns oneself with truly fundamental problems one may easily dissipate energy °nephemera. Pieces of purely descriptive writing on, toiexample, the constitutional structure of particuia1African countries, and attempts at constitution-making'have a disquieting tendency to be out of date alm°sas soon as they are published or completed. It is partlyfor this reason that I prefer, as a comparativist, toconcentrate wherever possible on general problems otwide interest, seeking materials for illumination an<*comparison from various parts of Africa (and, indeed,beyond) rather than engage in specific "area studies ;though, of course, there is plainly scope for both kind*of approach. Again, during this period of rapid changeand growth, teaching methods themselves, and especially the organization and content of courses '<&aseminars, must perforce remain flexible, and— probablVfor some considerable time— largely exploratory aTlClexperimental. ...But to return to the French metaphor, I ^]\persuaded myself that, provided I was brief, it &Wnot altogether take the sun out of your day if I sP°fa little about the why, the what and the how of teaming and research in the field of African legal studijjAt the risk of being regarded as eccentric in this fiel<J;1 shall confine myself to what I know a little abo*?that is, I shall speak as a lawyer— interested, *?. \believe every lawyer is or should be, in the albejdisciplines of history, philosophy, political science ^sociology ... 1^1One more caveat by way of preliminary insurance-"THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZlN#for I am a cautious body— and I shall settle to my task.1 am hesitant about speaking in such large terms asAfrica or Africans. In fact, I tend to squirm a bitwhen I hear people tell me that "Africans" think this0r do that, or that Africa presents this problem or thatProblem. After all Africa is a very much bigger arealhan the whole of the United States of America, moreheavily populated and certainly no less diverse— bothin racial types, problems, and general outlook. If therefore I occasionally refer to Africa or Africans this after-n°on, this will normally be the result of a consideredattempt at generalization, for which I must of courseaccept responsibility; for the rest, I hope you willaccept and forgive any less studied references to Africaand Africans as mere post-prandial deviations fromOrthodoxy. (In passing, I would like to add that Iregard myself as an African— despite my white, orrather pinko-grey skin— South Africa having been myh°me and that of my forebears for several generations.)We lawyers have been notoriously slow starters intr*e field of African social studies. While anthropologists,sociologists— and in more recent years political scientistsa^d economists— have been pouring out the results oftheir researches, we have, with very few exceptions, refined obstinately mute. Perhaps this is due to the na-tl*al conservatism of our breed; possibly it is due to lackof money for new and unproved ventures; but moreP^bably, it is due— as I prefer to think— to the fact*hat it is only in very recent years, with the upsurge ot^dependence throughout Africa, that the basic legalProblems have come clearly into focus. And the reasonW% this is so, is I think plain. If it be true that law is,m large measure, a framework within a community sS(*ial, political and economic life has its being, it is0nly with the advent of independence, and the newvitality it has generated among various communities,that the complex problems involved in adjusting andadaPting the framework itself have become real and^rgent. It is only since their independence, and thefreedom to experiment which this has brought about,tnat the new nations themselves have realized that lawand legal institutions may consciously be used as m-^urnents in nation-building. ,, rhere are, of course, limits to the extent to wnicn** and legal institutions, and the lawyer's art may^nsciously be used as instruments in nation-building;J0r m large measure, law tends to follow, embody and°rmalize patterns of social and economic change wnicnlave already been determined by other agencies. Buta^ and lawyers do, nevertheless, have a creative roleJ° Piay; and the point which I am really trying to make*ere is that to the extent to which it is possible to doa *ajor job of social engineering (such as Pound wasta*mg about a j *rs in this country 50 years?°), the opportunity to do so has only now becomeI ^ramatic reality for lawyers in many parts ot con-ter*porary Africa.77* u* be all this as it may, current interest in theliinean field among lawyers has now-happily I be-^become an established fact; and it is time for** ^ try to be more specific, to go back to the why,PEBRUARY, 1962 the what and the how of academic legal work in thisfield, and make a start with the why. Why are American lawyers, amongst others, interested in teaching andresearch in the African legal field? Mr. T. S. Eliot haswarned us that the ultimate treason is to do the rightthing for the wrong reasons. Accepting then that legalinterest, including American legal interest, is rapidlygrowing in this field, let us be sure that our reasonsfor working in it are right.Putting the matter at its lowest, the reasons forAmerican interest are quite straight-forward andhealthy. America is a world power of the first order.Africa is a big and important continent of some 240million people, and Americans quite understandablywant to know what is going on there. In a shrinkingand increasingly interdependent world, policy-makersneed to be informed of developments in the constitutional and administrative field, everywhere. Businessmen engaged in international transactions, and investors of capital need and desire information about theavailable legal process, the scope of international law,both public and private, and especially about suchmatters as security of land-tenure, labor law, and facilities for the security and possible repatriation of capitalinvestments and profits. And if this kind of usefulknowledge is to be acquired, it makes obvious sensethat American scholars be given some opportunity tolearn and to do research in this area.So far, so good, and this in itself would, I think, bea sufficient, albeit mundane, reason for the currentinterest in the African legal field; but there is more to it.I have sometimes heard it suggested— almost inhushed tones— that there is mission-work for us lawyersin this field; that lawyers imbued with Western valuesmay carry the light, so to speak, into the darknessesof Africa, and save it from communism and other formsof totalitarianism. This is not only pathetically naivebut positively harmful. It is naive because if any generalization about Africa, as a whole, can safely bemade, it is this— Africans desire complete and unfettered freedom to be themselves; to build up their self-confidence, and make their own distinctive contribution in their own way, to the art of living and socialorganization. It is harmful, because they will rejectanything savoring of what I have heard one of themdescribe as "cultural imperialism", with no less vigorand angry contempt than that with which they havealready rejected political and economic imperialism.And, needless to say, they will deeply resent— andrightly resent, any hint of being patronized.Let us be quite clear, then, that one will get absolutely nowhere in the new nations field if one goes intoit with policy considerations uppermost— i.e., in orderto sell a way of life, or if one embarks upon it afternreiudging the issues and with inflexible preconceptionsLout the* role of law and legal institutions. Semperaliquid novi ex Africa is likely to be as true in the fieldof law as it has been in other fields.Rather than deceive ourselves with grandiose schemesabout missioning, we should be humble enough toremember that teaching is a two-way process, in whichJte Xh*-if he is wise-is siven an °pp°rtumty toleam as much as he teaches. In a sense, of course, a11very deep sense, there is mission-work to do; namely,the work of re-discovering and articulating, right hereamong established Western communities, the realfoundations of our most cherished values. In the longrun, the values which are sometimes described as the"Western" way of life— the values of human dignity andlimited government in a free society— can only surviveanywhere if those who subscribe to them are able togive sound and convincing reasons as to why they doso; as to why these values are good and right. Andthis is precisely what scholars in the new nations field—especially in Africa— are so often challenged to do.In working back from contemporary needs and application in the new nations to the. relevance of established institutions as potential sources of guidance; inexplaining established institutions to the peoples of newnations, who may desire — where possible — to imitatesuccesses and avoid mistakes, the scholar in the newnations field is given a golden opportunity to learnafresh, and with the stimulus of actuality, the true inwardness of much that we take for granted and allow— at our peril — to go unanalyzed. In short, the virtueof the exercise is at least as much what may be gainedby the established nations, through looking again atthe foundations of their own life, as what may be givento the new nations.As the point is a fundamental one, and as it is alwayseasier to give vitality to an abstract proposition byconcrete illustration, perhaps you will allow me toillustrate what I have just said by one or two examplestaken from a field with which I may claim somefamiliarity, namely the field of constitutional law andconstitution-making. Apart from the purely academicdiscipline of conducting courses in comparative constitutional law, I was privileged some years ago to beasked by the inhabitants of an African territory ( Basu-toland) to draft a constitution for them, and I am at thepresent time again involved in a constitution-makingexercise on behalf of an African political party in another territory (Swaziland).One of the most fascinating constitutional problemswith which I have been concerned — and there is scopefor a great deal of research in this field — is the problemof incorporating a bill of rights and fundamental freedoms in an African constitution. It is stimulating andsalutary for lawyers who believe as I do, in the virtuesof limited government and the traditional civil libertiesto be forced to grapple with the question (whichAfrican leaders are quick to raise — even those who havenot studied Max Weber) of whether the traditional constitutional virtues presuppose economic individualism,which may or may not be acceptable in the particularnew society with which one is concerned — howeverfundamental the concept may be in most Westerndemocracies.It is good, again, for lawyers to have to grapple withthe even more pertinent question of whether (and towhat extent) the traditional civil liberties are applicablein underdeveloped countries seeking to eradicate massive poverty, ill-health, ignorance and lack of communications, and seeking to do so, what is more, withall possible speed.It may possibly be that the underdeveloped countries12 have got to make a choice here and decide what thjvalue more: the quick acquisition of material com to >even at the cost of the rigors of a planned econo ^and the complete erosion of civil liberty; or do they &'that there are at least some procedures of free gove* "^ment without which life is not worth living, ^^Lwell-stocked one's larder may be, or may potentially ^Personally, I believe that the alternatives are not^stark and mutually exclusive as this; and that a Qmedia is possible. I am, of course, aware that it isuse offering people freedom and civil liberty if tn^remain hungry, and sick and ignorant. But as I hatried to show in my book, The Foundations of Freedo^the essential civil "liberties are not necessarily irreCjLcilable with the needs of rapid economic growth inunderdeveloped countries. a]I am not so naive as to believe that the tradition^civil liberties will not have a tough fight for slirVlVntin the new nations, and may indeed require imP°rt*Lmodifications. Nor— and I would like to emphasize tnpoint— would I presume to criticize constitutional pterns in new nations as being "undemocratic" merwbecause they do not square at all points with the paterns which older and established nations have eV°1Vto deal with different circumstances. There are, hoever, certain fundamentals of healthy governmentrespect of which I would be most loath to comprornianywhere at any time, and which I believe are toowidely adaptable. Time alone, however, will pr°whether this is so.Meanwhile, those of us who believe in world pea^through world law and order may perhaps cleavethe possibility as an article of faith. But, in any even 'and this is the point I would like to leave with y° 'an exciting challenge is surely presented here to tresearch worker in the new nations field. Can he shothat any of the democratic procedures, and the leginstitutions which have protected civil liberty in ^West, are in fact capable of adjustment so as to accoinmodate the clamant need of new nations for rap^economic growth— without losing their essential chara^ter in the process of accommodation and adaptatj^Where entirely new patterns are preferred, why is tnso? Again, at the international level, can we lawTeformulate acceptable norms for peaceful coexistenamong the nations; and for the decent and pr°Ptreatment of human beings.W*creativehile on the subject of this kind of challenge JJive scholarship, there is one other very signingmle whinh T u/rmlsl l;l^ *~ ~,-,,~ a„ ,,™i arfi aWar >example which I would like to give. As you are a^a* >African states in all parts of the continent are facin»problems of closer association in larger units, eithera federal or a confederal basis. Some of thern-^example the three regions of Nigeria and the component units of the (very unsteady) Central Afnc*Federation— have already embarked upon an expe^ment in federalism on classical lines. Other states^particularly in East Africa— are also contempla^early steps towards closer political and economic &fciation. Very interesting developments, too, are takingTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZI^place in French-speaking Africa. And here again, Iwould suggest that a vast and stimulating field forresearch presents itself — in which part of the challengeIs similar to that which I mentioned when dealing withrhe protection of civil liberties.The essential problem here, as I see it, is the adapta-tion and development of "federal" forms of government to accommodate the conditions actually prevailingm the new nations, and especially their desire forrapid economic growth. The precise pattern and thesuccessful outcome of these new experiments in federalism is by no means a foregone conclusion. Possibly,|hough I leave the point open, President Leopold Seng-hor may have a strong case when he claims that^centralization rather than classical federalism is^hat is needed in most parts of French-speaking WestAfrica. Certainly, federalism in the classical sense, asy°u know better than I do, is a particularly complexar*d sophisticated type of limited government. Not°nly does it presuppose respect for the rule of law, but11 calls for an ability to make compromises — and as°ne perceptive critic has put it— for the sophisticationand long experience which enables one to ignore therules without actually breaking them. Only the veryAnguine would say that contemporary Africa is promising ground in which to sow the seeds of classicalfederalism. For one thing, the very need to hasteneconomic growth and eradicate ill-health and ignorance,las seemed to many to favor strong centralized government rather than the dispersal of power involved in^ssical federalism. However, all this does not meanJhat forms of closer association, other than classicaljederalism, may not be evolved successfully and satis-aetorily to meet local needs . . .l was therefore particularly gratified when some sixMonths ago the Law School here in Chicago agreed to*Ccept the topic of "Federalism: Objectives and Ap-Pr°Priate Framework," as the first in a series of threennual symposia which we have planned to hold (beginning this coming February) under the auspices of^e Centre which I have the honor to direct. At theseymposia the new nations themselves will be represen-ed by distinguished scholars from several allied dis-^Phnes— in addition to law— and judges, administratorsnd Practical men of affairs will also participate. Ongi-71 Papers will be prepared for comment and discus-'10ri> and we plan to publish the proceedings as soon^Possible. We hope that these short annual symposia^owever modest in scale— will give contemporary**us to significant problems and act, so to speak, asth Iytic agencies in inspiring active research amongr!e Participants, and especially in the faculty andtmong the student-body of this University.wA*d while on this point I would like to add that I> Particularly pleased to learn that the American3***y of International Law had subsequently and in-Vndently resolved itself to undertake long-termS 6S in the field °f federalism in the new nations 1trlSUre that I ^peak for all in the faculty when I saySat we look forward to much fruitful cooperation with7 Merillat, and his Society, in the parallel and [commentary activities on which we are both about toembark. A, nd now having touched on the why of teachingand research in the field of African legal studies, 1would like to say a little about the what— about thesubject matter of teaching and research.In recent years I have had talks in several parts ofAfrica with many persons who are directly concernedwith this aspect, and particularly with the problem ofpriorities in legal research. And it did not requiremuch effort or perception to realize that, within thelawyers' particular province, the subjects which aregoing to hold the main interest of Africans in manyterritories for a substantial period— and which I believeshould also hold the interest of American scholars— arebasically four in number. There are, of course, manyother topics of very considerable importance whichrequire attention, but this is not the occasion for meto attempt anything like a full enumeration. And far beit from me to impose my own priorities, or what Iconceive as the priorities favored by lawyers andothers in Africa, on other scholars with different viewsor interests. I can do no more here than refer verybriefly to the four subjects — and they are each verylarge — which I personally believe have strong claimsto priority treatment:1. Comparative constitutional and administrativelaw, including the technique of constitution-making, the adaptation of forms of government toaccommodate local and contemporary needs, thefuture of the rule of law and the protection ofcivil liberties. And, in this context, constitutionaland administrative law should not be conceivednarrowly; it should be conceived sufficientlybroadly to take account of, if not embrace, theclosely related field of international law — bothpublic and private.2. The whole subject of legal pluralism, with particular reference to the inter-action between indigenous and foreign legal systems, the nature oftribal laws, and the basic problem of inter-personal or internal conflict of laws;3. Law reform, with particular reference to themodernization and reform of tribal systems concerning land-tenure, family law and the statusof women;4. The organization and role of courts and the legalprofession, and the complex of problems whichrelate to legal education.In regard to constitution-making, it is an old andreceived truism that constitutions that have workedwell in one country are not necessarily readily exportable to another country. New nations may, however,avoid mistakes that have been made elsewhere and,within limits, they can imitate successes.But, as I said earlier, this cannot be done unless theunderlying socio-cultural values, out of which governmental institutions have grown, are fully understood.And it is this necessity for pushing one's legal researchback to fundamentals, which I venture to think is oneCONCLUDED ON PAGE 17^BRUARY, 1962 13ALBERT MICHELSONELEMENTARY SCHOOL14 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZlNDecember 11, 1961C/o Miss Marie I. Hahn, PrincipalAlbert Michelson Elementary School78th Place and Lawndale AvenueChicago 52, IllinoisDear Michelson students:You may have been wondering why they are going to name your school after Albert A.Michelson next Thursday night.Schools, as you know, are often named after famous people. Up in Waukegan they justnamed one after Jack Benny, whom you've probably watched on television.But why after Mr. Michelson? you might ask. Why was he famous?Your teacher probably has told you that Mr. Michelson was a scientist. And that he wasborn more than 100 years ago in 1852 and died 30 years ago in 1931. You also may know thatMr. Michelson was the first physics professor at the University of Chicago. He cfne,t„Chicago in 1892, when the University opened its doors— just as your school opened this tall—and was associated with the University until he died at the age of 78.But Mr. Michelson, as you may have guessed, was no ordinary scientist. He was the kindof man whose work people talk about for years and years. He was one of the great scientistsof all time. . , , , . r> ^ -± u jHis work may sound simple. After all, he did most of it with lights and mirrors. But it hadfar-reaching significance. Mr. Michelson's experiments with lights and mirrors were more delicate and more precise than anyone had ever done before.The result was the first precise measurement of the velocity of light. Mr. Michelson provedthat the light— whether it comes from the sun shining through your school windows, a lightover your head, or any other source-is traveling 186,000 miles a second. Thats more thanhalf the distance to the moon in less time than it takes to say Albert Michelson.For this discovery, he became the first American to win the Nobel Prize m physics, thehighest honor a scientist can receive. That was in 1907._The measurement of light kept Mr. Michelson busy most of his scientific life. When askedwhy he did it so often, he said: "I do it because it's so much fun." And thats pretty typicalof the way Mr. Michelson looked at everything in life.You've seen the pictures of Mr. Michelson in your school, so you know he was a handsome,distinguished looking man with a mustache.I can tell you, too, that he was interested in lots of things besides science He used to playthe violin very well and to paint with water colors. He was also the best billiard player on theUniversity of Chicago faculty even when he was 60 years old. And on summer evenings inChicago he could be seen on the back porch with his three young daughters singing Ol BlackJ°eThose three daughters-Madoline, Beatrice, and Dorothy-will be at your school Thursdaynight, along with lots of other people who knew him well.One of them is Arthur H. Compton of St. Louis, a friend of Mr. Michelson at the University of Chicago many years ago. Like Mr. Michelson Mr Compton, too won^ a t NobelPrize Mr. Compton will give the main speech at the dedication ceremony Thursday night.There'll be lots of other people there too from the Board of Educahon, from your owncommunity, and from the University. , .„All of them will have stories to tell about Mr. Michelson s work One thing they willprobably talk about is the Michelson-Morley experiment, the most famous scientific workMl 'sJES^ti a hunch that light should travel a little faster in one direction thanin anothelr, because of the earth's motion. They figured a beam of light would 1 slow downif it was going opposite to the direction the earth was movmg-just as its harder to swimagainst current than when there isn't any current at all.sonAina nartgMr. Michelson figured out that if he could take a beam of light and ^^f^?**in one direction and the other part at right angles to it-and then bring ^J*"™^*gether again, he would be able to find out if the one had gone slower If so Je fo jouldbe a little "out of step" when they got back together again. But what he found out was thatboth traveled the same speed. , .,Mr. Michelson was so surprised he did the experiment again and again to ' ^e sure he^ehad been no mistake, but the answer was always the same. Both beams of light went the"^An'ins'rument like the one Mr. Michelson used is on display right out in the hall of yourFebruary, 1962 15school. The man who built it is Mr. Thomas O'Donnell, who knew Mr. Michelson about aswell as anybody. Mr. O'Donnell will be coming to your school for the Thursday night ceremony, too. He'll be the official University of Chicago representative.Mr. O'Donnell and Mr. Michelson met in the navy during World War I. After the war,Mr. Michelson invited Mr. O'Donnell to come back to the University of Chicago with him tohelp build instruments for more research on light.Together they built instruments that were more accurate than anyone believed possible orhad ever dreamed of before. In fact, they could measure in millionths of an inch where peoplebefore them were content with measurements a thousand times less powerful.In the exhibit of Mr. Michelson's instruments, you will have noticed what is called an "interferometer," the instrument Mr. Michelson used to race one beam of light against another inthe famous Michelson-Morley experiments.Another thing you will see is a "diffraction grating." That is a piece of metal which has15,000 lines drawn across every inch of its surface. These scratch marks break up a beam of lightinto the rainbow of colors that it is made up of. The instrument helps scientists to tell whatkinds of elements are in the source of the beam of light, something that has been very usefulin learning about the stars.Finally, you'll see one of the rotating mirrors which Mr. Michelson used out in California.He built a pipe a mile long and raced beams of light back and forth in it. The mirror wouldreflect the light from one end of the long pipe to the other. In the pipe, where there was noair, Mr. Michelson made his best measurements of the speed of light, because he had completecontrol of the conditions.Among his other scientific "firsts," Mr. Michelson was the first to measure the size of a star—one called Betelguese. That was in 1920. Mr. Michelson showed that Betelguese was 300times bigger than the sun, which proved modern theories about the size of the heavenly bodies.But though he worked on other problems, Mr. Michelson always came back to the question about the speed of light. Precision was his middle name, and he always wanted to dothings a little better than they had ever been done before.All this was astonishing, because when Mr. Michelson began his experiments around theturn of the century, people had a lot different view of the universe. In fact, many folks weresaying that there was nothing left to discover, that all the important discoveries had alreadybeen made. These people felt that all that was left for scientists to do was to measure a fewthings a little better and to clean up a few loose ends in a nice, neat package. Ho hum! Howwrong they were!Mr. Michelson and other scientists came along with fresh new ideas. Some of the old onesjust didn't suit him. As one of Mr. Michelson's friends said, "So it happened that one of theoutstanding figures of the classic physics (Mr. Michelson) became one of the founders of thenew." That means that Mr. Michelson's experiments laid the groundwork for many other scientists, such as Albert Einstein, who based his theory of relativity on how fast light can travel.Mr. Michelson gave him that answer.The ho-hum people who thought that there was nothing left to look for in the world werewrong. They usually are. If they had their way, atomic energy and exploration of space neverwould have come about. That's why there's so much left for you to do, why you need to studyand learn, so that some day you, too, can make your contribution to society. And don't forget,the real reason Mr. Michelson did such great work is that, to him, it was fun.Mr. Michelson looked this way at science:"It seems to me that scientific research should be regarded as a painter regards his art, apoet his poems, a composer his music ... for what can surpass in beauty the wonderfuladaptation of natures means to her ends and the never failing rule of law and order whichgoverns even the most irregular and complicated of her manifestations."Some of those words are pretty big, but I think he meant that nature's secrets can be prettyhard to discover sometimes, but if a man puts his mind to it and is clever enough, he can findorder and simplicity in even the most complicated things. And after all, that is what scienceis all about. Sincerely yours,Edward D. AebischerScience WriterThe University of Chicago16 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINECOWEN— CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1301 the most exciting features of working in the newNations field.Legal pluralism, and the problems to which it givesrise, are, of course, neither new nor distinctively AfricanPhenomena. Students of jurisprudence and legal historywho are familiar with the subject as it manifesteditself, to give two examples only, in Europe between*e 6th and 10th Centuries A.D., or as it currentlyManifests itself in the near East, will, I believe, find anew fillip for their research in grappling with similarProblems in an African context. Conversely it is veryProfitable to view African problems against a wideOackground, and in the perspectives of history. This,at any rate, has been my own experience and that ofmy students in the University of Cape Town.It seems plain that for some years several, perhapsfnost, African societies are likely to remain plural; thatis to say, just as in Europe before the rise of the prin-ciple of the territoriality of laws, you might find, to4uote Bishop Agobard of Lyons, members of five different tribes together in the same place, yet each waspverned by his own tribal legal system, so too mem-°ers of African ethnic and religious groups will, duringtr*e immediately foreseeable future, continue to begoverned by their own personal laws— at least in several important aspects of their daily lives. The appropriate legal system to apply when members of differentrribes transact business together will, for some conquerable time, continue to present difficult problemsYnich admit of a variety of possible, and jurispru-dentially very interesting, solutions. This is but one oftlle complex of problems raised by legal pluralism;here are many others.No doubt, in the interest of nation-building, there isa growing tendency to develop a uniform national andModern system of law in the new nations of Africa —a system which may be neither tribal law, nor EnglishCommon Law, nor any other mature non-indigenoussystem— but a new creation (perhaps an amalgam ofrnany elements); but for many years, alongside of thisdevelopment, it is very likely— and possibly evenPolitic— that legal pluralism will transform itselfgradually at its own natural pace. Any attempt to force^e pace may in the long run prove to be divisive^ther than unifying. These, however, are matters}vhich we are hoping to investigate more fully in regu-lar seminars in the Chicago law school, and also in ashort international symposium which we have plannedto hold next year.The claim of land-tenure and its modernization asa topic for research is almost self-evident. To give onereason only— and there are many— the old tribal pat-[erns are not adequate to cope with the urgent need°r big increases in food production and the produc-tiori of other wealth. Again, in an age of rapid economic and political change, family law and the legal^tus of women inevitably attract the attention of thetaw-reformer, and— at a more fundamental level— ofhe student of jurisprudence.But I am, I fear, in danger of doing what I wasresolved not to do; and that is to submit you to alecture on the content of one of my regular seminars. Time runs on; and I must turn now briefly to the lastof my themes— to the question of method; the how oflegal teaching and research in the new nations field.I_ propose to pass very lightly over the large problem of the organization and content of regular coursesand seminars in this field. For some years we willhave to remain flexible and experimental, for there isvery little comprehensive experience anywhere to guideus. Various possibilities naturally suggest themselves.Some schools may prefer to confine themselves to introducing a little African material, by way of illustration, into established courses of instruction, in suchsubjects as, say, jurisprudence, constitutional law, land-use and problems of international commerce and investment. Others may choose to venture somewhatfurther, and offer a specific and regular seminar onmajor legal problems in, say, the African, or perhapsthe Afro-Asian field. This is what I shall be doinghere in Chicago — in collaboration with my distinguished colleague, Professor Max Rheinstein." In addition, here in Chicago, I shall be offering acourse in Comparative Constitutional Law, which may,we hope, be of special interest to students from thenew nations, as well as to American and other students. I am hopeful that as the years go by, these andsimilar efforts elsewhere in the United States, whichare still at the pioneering stage, will gain in strengthand influence. ...And now, in conclusion, allow me to touch verybriefly on the idea of cooperation. It is hardly necessary for me to stress the very special importance whichattaches to interdisciplinary cooperation within thenew nations field. A lawyer, for example, embarkingon a project for the modernization of land-tenurewithout the assistance of a competent social anthropologist to explain the ramifications of various legislative proposals on, say, the position of the chieftainship (which rests on power to allocate land), is likelyto find that his carefully devised plans will never reachthe point of "take-off." Then again even a potentiallyworkable plan has to be "put across" and popularizedAnd in this regard, in addition to the skills of the socialanthropologist and, perhaps, the social psychologist,one cannot afford to ignore the contribution whichmay be made by the practical administrator, in touchwith day-to-day realities.What is no less obvious than the need for interdisciplinary cooperation— but which unfortunately doestend to be forgotten— is the need for lawyers in thevarious universities which are working in the newnations field, to cooperate among themselves as gentlemen and scholars— whose first allegiance should be tothe task of expanding the frontiers of knowledge, andhelping each other to do so. This applies not only torelations between American universities, but also, andperhaps particularly, to Anglo-American, Franco-American, and Afro-American relations in this held.The subject is worth-while, potentially even great;it behoves us to be worthy of it. ¦February, 1962 17yersatilityFrom a small one-color sheet to awork of thousands of pages, from afull color catalog to a giant display,here one can see the gamut ofprinting jobs.

Bell Telephone Laboratoriesconducts a far-reaching research anddevelopment program— most of it incommunications, but much of it devoted to defense.Basic Bell inventions such as theTransistor and the Solar Battery havebenefited man in many ways. Andconstant development of new equipment is revolutionizing telephony.But research alone doesn't bringservice improvements andeconomies. 2 • MANUFACTUREResearch-created equipment must bemanufactured, held to high standardsat low cost, and made available anywhere in the nation.That's Western Electric's job.Working closely with Bell Laboratories, Western Electric makes thevast amounts of high-quality equipment required for the telephone network. But the task still remains ofputting this research and equipmentto work— so they can make dailyliving easier and more pleasant foryou and your family. 3 * OPERATIONHere, twenty-one Bell TelephoneCompanies step in. They take theresults of Bell Laboratories researchand Western Electric production andbring them to useful life on yourbedside table or kitchen wall oroffice desk.All three— research, manufacture,operation— are interdependent andindispensable.
