Louz of Surinam, who has come to this country to receive advanced communications training.Sharing our communications knowledge with new friends from other landsHenry Albert Louz, shown at rightin the picture above, is a communications technician from Paramaribo,Surinam (Dutch Guiana).Mr. Louz is one of approximately150 foreign nationals from two dozendifferent countries receiving technicaltraining from the Bell Telephone System this year. The Bell System and anumber of other American firms arecooperating with the State Departmentand the Agency for International Development in providing training tohelp these and other nations buildtheir economies. Liaison agency for the telephone industry is the FederalCommunications Commission.When Henry Louz's six months'course is over, he will return to hisnative land in South America to applythe latest in modern technology toproblems in his field.Henry is at the telephone school inTopeka, Kansas, studying all phases ofteletypewriter service — the transmission of written information from pointto point or via a network. It is traininghe could not get at home, and he isgetting it side by side with Bell Systememployees. At the same time, Henry is alsolearning about the American way oflife. Through his new friends and acquaintances in Topeka he is meetingpeople, visiting their homes, seeingfactories, museums, sports events. Wehope he will return to Surinam withmuch more than a post-graduate coursein communications.We in the Bell Telephone System areproud of the good communicationsservice that we provide at home — andwe are equally proud to share abroadthe know-how that makes fine communications possible.J=\ BELL TELEPHONE SYSTEMOwned by more than two million Americansmemo padBURIED IN MAY, 1946!- One ofmy first official acts as the new secretary and editor for the AlumniAssociation in April, 1946, was topublish the roster (living and dead)of the Class of 1896. It was the firstfull-fledged College class to celebrateits fiftieth anniversary. The roster included "Charles Sumner Pike (deceased)."By return mail, wrote CharlesSumner Pike:. . . It may be of interest [to you]to learn that the writer has receivedthree separate requests for donationsto the Alumni Fund in the past weekor so, in addition to two letters fromold college mates of the 1896 WesternChampionship Baseball Team (ofwhich he was a member fifty yearsago) urging him to attend the team'sfiftieth anniversary. Yours for the record, Charles Sumner Pike.Three days after Amos Alonzo Staggcelebrated his hundredth birthday,Charles Sumner Pike wrote me another letter:Dear Howard:In view of the fact that you, sir,had the writer dead and buried inMay, 1946, this old man has madea surprising return to life and publicity, as you will observe from theenclosed clipping from the August 15,1962 WASHINGTON POST.It all comes, we imagine, from ourclose athletic association with ouryoung friend and exemplar, AmosAlonzo Stagg . . . sixty-six years ago!That rare fountain of youth andlearning.See to it, sir, that you carry on thiswell established U. of C. tradition!With all good wishes! Here's to you!C.S. Pike.And from the WASHINGTONPOST clipping:An average life span ago, CharlesSumner Pike came under the inspiring influence of coach Amos AlonzoStagg at the University of Chicago.Stagg will observe his 100th birthday Thursday and Pike, who becamean unswerving disciple of the GrandOld Man's vigorous way of life, is approaching his 90th anniversary. . . .Pike was too light for football . . .so he dropped it after two seasonsand concentrated on baseball."I was a pitcher but Stagg didn'tthink so. He shifted me to the outfield and then to catching. Staggpitched for us in the summer whenwe played semi-pros and country clubteams. But he did the signaling, notme. I would go through the pretenseof giving signs to confuse the opposition. He had an exceptionally deliberate delivery that made many batters so nervous they struck out."Pike scored a notable triumph inlater years, winning a bout with cancer at the age of eighty.Charles Sumner Pike retired fifteenyears ago. He lives at 3133 Connecticut Avenue, Washington 8, D.C.ALUMNI SEMINARS ON CAMPUS—Our programming division has scheduled a series of four Autumn GraduateInterest Seminars for members of theAlumni Association. There are foursessions in each of the series:1. The Significance of the CivilWar, Avery O. Craven, Professor Emeritus, History;2. Conversations with Parents,Bruno Bettelheim, Principal,Sonia Shankman OrthogenicSchool;3. Art as an Investment, EdwardA. Maser, Chairman, Art Department;4. American Foreign Policy, fourauthorities covering Russia, theMiddle East, the Far East, andU.N.The sessions are being held on campus on alternate Saturday morningsor afternoons. Special announcementswere mailed to all members in thegreater Chicago area. Each session islimited to thirty to permit effectivediscussion.When these seminars were plannedit was agreed that they should not bejust another popular adult educationseries. They would be planned forChicago alumni, whom we proudlyconsider above the average in intellectual interests. To secure top faculty who canspeak with authority, and in recognition of the extra time it would takethem to prepare for these discussions,we are paying honoraria. To secureintelligent participation, we are including books and reading materialsfor each registrant. These and otherincidental expenses made it necessaryto charge a registration fee of twenty-five dollars.By the time you read this, the seminars, which start October 6th, willdoubtless be full. But if the series issuccessful, we hope to continue thistype of programming in the springquarter.BACHMAN OF THE BAND -Manyalumni of the mid-thirties will remember Harold B. Bachman, director ofthe University Band in those pre- andpost-football days. He is now directorof bands, emeritus, the University ofFlorida.Now that he is retired, Bachmanhas turned literary. In the SeptemberInstrumentalist (a national band magazine), he has written "Big BerthaBooms Again," the story of Chicago'sgiant base drum, which is now parading on the University of Texas gridiron.Mr. Bachman also has published abook, The Million Dollar Band, It'sthe story of his famous concert bandwhich toured the country followingthe first World War.NATCHEZ RE-VISITED-RememberD'Evereux Hall, of Natchez, Mississippi, in my January Memo Pad? Itwas included in an estate left to theUniversity by the late Myra VirginiaSmith, '02, retired Senn High Schoolteacher.The Hall, with its seven acres, wassold for $135,000 to a Natchez lumberman for his family home. The 48.6additional acres were sold for $85,750to the Natchez First Baptist Churchfor its expansion.The $220,750 will provide scholarships for students from Sedalia, Missouri; Springfield, Illinois; Senn HighSchool, Chicago; Fort Smith, Arkansas; and Natchez.H.W.M.OCTOBER, 1962 1U N I VERS ITY OFCHICAGOmagazine5733 University AvenueChicago 37, IllinoisMidway 3-0800; Extension 3244EDITOR Marjorie BurkhardtEDITORIAL ASSISTANT Rona MearsFEATURES2 Alumni Weekend4 CommentsLeo Rosten8 From the Midway to You12 A Short History of EducationRichard Armour20.— Documentary in Action23 Harold Harding '50 Joins Alumni StaffDEPARTMENTS| Memo PadI0_. ...News of the Quadrangles16 -- News of the Faculty25 News of the Alumni30 MemorialsCOVERAs Richard Armour notes (page 12), therehas been some building done on campus.This, and the photo on page I I, show anotherwing of the Hospitals under construction.CREDITSCover, 8, II, 20-22: Daniel Lyon; 2-7: AlbertC.

I wasraised on the west side of Chicago. I used to take astreetcar to come to the University. I was advised bythe English department that I ought not to stay inEnglish because there wasn't much chance of my everbeing a writer. I wandered around 17 departments ofthe University and when the time came for me to geta degree I was called in by the dean, who looked atme oddly and said. "Young man, do you expect to geta degree in June?" I said, "Why, yes sir. Why?" Hesaid, "Do you know that you have worked in seventeen different departments. . . . You can't get a degreeunless you have a 'major/ A major means 9 courses inone field, and you haven't got 9 courses in any one field!Why?" I said, "I haven't found a department I wantto take 9 courses in." So we made a deal. (This is thegospel truth.) I said, "I haven't been to the LawSchool." He said, "If you will take a year of law, asan undergraduate, we'll give you a bachelor's degree."So I went to the Law School, for a year, and I gotmy undergraduate degree — and came out in the depthsof the depression.Well — What does one say when one gets an honorfrom a school one loves? I always loved the University— because it liked, it defended, it was involved in themost important thing in the world — ideas. It hadrespect for brains. You could argue here. (And I comefrom a tradition in which not to be able to argue isto be dead.)The things that mattered here at Chicago were thelong, long series of questions which men had askedthemselves long before the Greeks began to formulateAt Reunion? communications alumninamed Leo Rosten, '30, PhD '37, Communicator of the Year. Mr. Rosten, apolitical scientist, screenwriter and editorof Look, is author of the flyman Kaplanbooks and more recently, Captain Newman, MLB* Here, for all alumni, are hiscomments at Communications Dinner* them. It was wonderful to be in a place where onefelt at home — no matter how wild or peculiar an ideaone had.I had a professor — some of you may know his name— in a course entitled "Non-rational Factors in Political Behavior." At the end of three puzzling weeks,I went to his office and confessed, "Sir, you seem tobe talking about so many different things in so manydifferent vocabularies that — frankly — I can't understand you!" He stared at me and said what I've alwaysthought ought to be the motto of the social sciences;"Communication," he said, "is but a fortuitous parallelism of bio-psychic elements."But the real point, I think, is that communication isa problem because it is almost impossible to have orfind a true and complete "parallelism of bio-psychicelements."Who are the people who succeed in this — who succeed in getting an idea from one head into another?We know very little about this extraordinary and extraordinarily complex process. We're beginning tolearn, after a hundred thousand years of teaching children that we really don't know very much aboutteaching. One of the revolutions of our time involvesthe process by which we try to communicate — breaking it into very, very tiny steps, smaller than anyonebefore had thought necessary, and giving instantreinforcement, in this simple and remarkable development called programmed learning, or teaching machines. The size of classrooms today in this great andmodern country of ours, is the result of some commentin the Talmud that 15 to 25 boys were as many as ateacher could teach the Talmud to. We still havethis curious stereotype about the "right" size of aclass.There are certain kinds of people who are skillful —whether in words or symbols, in music or journalism —in making themselves clear. I have a hunch as to whythis is so, and as to what kind of people they are.In talking about communication, in the more learnedcenters, a great deal of emphasis is placed on thecommunicator, the communicating process, the communicating medium — but little is ever said about theLEO ROSTEN4 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE"communicatee." I'm convinced that people resistbeing communicated with. They are afraid of thatinvasion of the self, which passivity- — listening, accepting, "surrendering" — involves. People are scared todeath of a new idea. It frightens them.To be educated, in my judgment, isn't much morethan to have equanimity in the presence of frighteningideas. The successful communicator is the person whohas somehow learned to reassure the communicateethat it is safe to listen, that things are going to comeout all right. The four greatest words ever written incommunication are — "Once upon a time." Once wesay them, "once upon a time," each of us relaxes andputs into these words all the images of past fantasies,and past pleasures, and a future where everything ispossible, and where virtue triumphs. "And they livedhappily ever after."V V ELL, what kinds of people know how to communicate? I think they are people who have managedto retain their infantile directness, who have resistedthe crippling effects of education. In the history of human thought and in the history of human science thething that to me is the most astounding is the lengthof time which men devote to the preservation of theprevailing model. They shore it up, they build it up,they patch it up, they keep it going, until someoneasks a question which nearly always is simple. "Whatdo we mean by 'simultaneous?'" asked Einstein (ineffect). "What do you mean by time? Can we reallyremove time from the other dimensions?" Or, as Harvey asked, "Where does the blood come from? Wheredoes the blood go?" Or, "Why do people make mistakes — it can't be accidental? The human being cannot act at random. If you listen, really listen to a manlong enough you will find that he is telling you something— whether he knows it or not." I think that itis safe to say that Sigmund Freud didn't discover sex,nor invent it, singlehandedly. The evidence is it hadOCTOBER, 1962 been going pretty well for a long time. But when heput into relatively simple, stark, direct form some ofhis observations, he threatened a great many people.The communicator manages to retain a stubbornresistance against the baloney of his time, the stereotypes, the confusion, the fluff, the cotton. I think itimpossible to read a newspaper without running intoat least 20 non-sequitors. If you persist in asking direct, simple questions, you will find yourself beinghailed either as a genius or a radical. You're notdoing much more than saying, "I don't understand —it's your job to make yourself clear to me."The communicator is the person who can makehimself clear to himself first. Most people are notclear because they really don't know what they aretrying to say. To teach English is to teach logic. Goodstyle is not much more than clean, clear thinking. Anda person who is discontented with the stereotypes ofthe world, who retains that stubbornness which says,"I don't understand that," learns how to make it clearto himself and then can make it clear to others. Allof the great motivating ideas turn out to be startlinglybasic, beyond the contaminating and corrupting experiences of — what? Of what most people go onaccepting over and over only because it's familiarbecause it sounds good, and because they are themselves fuzzy.The good communicator is skilled in multiple identifications. He can take part of himself and talk to itand make it represent one or another part of the outside world. He's always doing "dry runs" internally.In this room, you are communicating to me all thetime — telling me what my rhythm ought to be, whereI am getting abstract, where I am too long, or tooprivate — in the degree of your attention, in the loudness of your quiet, in the amount of shifting or moving,in the expressions on your faces. Every communication is a dialogue of which the most rapid part takesplace before the word comes out of the mouth.What happens when the communicator lends partof himself to you for a while, then takes it back? Thecommunicator, as a type, is motivated by the desireto make contact. The reason some people write fora living — a form of torture beyond description — isnot that they want fame, and not that they want fortune. (The same energy devoted to almost any otherfield would be, monetarily, much more rewarding).It is not that they want to be loved or admired orpraised. They want to be understood. The excitementof explaining the self, the reward of being understood, is a quite extraordinary human experience — andsome people are cursed with this need.HAVE "committed" all kinds of writing — fromhumor to social science to motion pictures. RecentlyI did a book about a psychiatrist, Captain Newman,in an Air Force ward. One of the characters who gotinto this book, quite despite my intentions, was anorderly I named Jackson Laibowitz. He drove mecrazy because he kept demanding the center of thestage. He was rambunctious, he was ironic, he wascynical, he was — unexpected. Laibowitz was a manwho thought that happiness is neurotic — that if youare a human being you should suffer. He loves suffering. He was happy in the ward, because it was theonly place in the world where everyone else wasmiserable, too. Someone once asked me, "Where onearth did you ever get a character like Laibowitz?"I thought about that. Where on earth could thisstrange, puzzling, intriguing character have comefrom? I sat down and said to myself, Now this is nomore than a problem, like any other problem; itshould be soluble — if you're tough enough (or sillyenough) to try solve it. So I thought. And there cameback to me a curious incident, which had taken placewhen I was 17 years old and went to New York forthe first time. My uncle asked me to come out todinner with him. My uncle is a nice, ordinary humanbeing, a good man — kind, proud, stubborn beyondbelief, as irrational as you can imagine, difficult, honest, convinced that he knows the answers, convincedthat when your answers agree with him you are right— in short, an ordinary, "simple" human being. So myuncle said to me, "Let's go to dinner." I said, "Where?"He said, "I know a special restaurant."We came to a restaurant down in a cellar. Myuncle opened the door. At the far end of the restaurant was a waiter, standing at the entrance to thekitchen. The waiter looked at my uncle; my unclelooked at the waiter — and I had a sudden premonition that a battle of the giants was about to start.There was some sort of contest going on — I hadn'tbeen told about the rules. . . .The waiter said, announcing it to the universe:"He's back!"My uncle said, "Back? You eat here once, who hasthe strength to go any place else?"The waiter said, "There are 10,000 waiters in NewYork. Why does God have to pick on me?"My uncle said, "Maybe God's trying to teach you alesson: To be polite once to a customer." The waiter said, "This you call a lesson? That's ajail sentence. Besides, I'm an atheist."My uncle said, "Please, just dinner, no philosophy.Would an 'Alfred' Einstein exchange ideas — shouldhe happen to come by?"The waiter said, "Einstein couldn't even figure outhow to find this place, because a sense of directionhas no relation to intelligence. After all, you got here!"My uncle turned to me. "In this restaurant you getulcers before you eat." He turned to the waiter andsaid, "For the sake of my nephew here, a boy with afuture, a boy with a right to live, tell me honestly,how is the tomato juice?"The waiter said, "The tomato juice is no worse thanthe grapefruit."My uncle said "I don't like grapefruit."The waiter said, "Let me be the first to congratulate you."My uncle said, "Don't evade the question. Tell me,is the fruit cup, through some mistake on the part ofthe management, fresh?"The waiter said, "To my enemies, I wouldn't recommend it."My uncle said to me, "That means that to hisfriends it's delicious. Two fruit cups. And waiter —assuming we survive, do you recommend the chickensoup, pea soup, or vegetable soup?"The waiter said, "Are you ordering a meal or votingin an election?"My uncle said, "I'm hoping, fool that I am, to geta hint from you about the quality of the food."The waiter said, "For that ask a chemist, I'm onlya waiter."My uncle said, "You conceal it beautifully. Let meput the question directly. If you were in my placewhat would you do?"The waiter said, "If I was in your place, God forbid,I'd kill myself."My uncle said, "That I'll do on my way out."And so on and on. . . .Now, these men loved each other, in their own oddway. They had this long, hostile affection, based onthe firmest ambivalence. Both of them dreaded theopen expression of affection — that isn't manly.' Theyunderstood each other. They communicated — according to one of the oldest patterns in the world — thepattern of insult, in the special vocabulary of thecomedy of insult. And somehow, this experience, andthese two men, down over the years, without my beingconscious of it, I suppose, developed into the characterI called Laibowitz.If you believe for one moment that any of this everhappened, literally, as I've told it — don't. It didn't.What I related should have happened. It came fromthe attitude the two men held to and for each other.It's true that the waiter said, "Oh, so you're back,"and my uncle said, "Certainly I'm back."In the need to find out what was making them thisway, what was behind their irony, the part of myselfwhich deals with the rearrangement of reality, togive it point, to give it purpose — (which is what thewriter, or the scientist, or the philosopher does) —6 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEcame into play. We arrange experience so it hasmeaning. In that process, all of the characterizationsare heightened, the conflict sharpened, by the writer.Now, having had the experience of a Laibowitzroaring into a story, clashing head-on with CaptainNewman again and again — how on earth do you endit? I hope you will forgive me if I read to you theonly way in which I knew how to resolve the book,which is a series of experiences, some tragic, somefarcical, some sad, some pathetic, some — I think —heroic. The communicator, in this case writing, feltsomething needed to be put in — some final affirmation.At this point I invented a character and went backand put him all through the book — the narrator. Heis a young man, a "straight" man, a little slow, alittle stuffy; that way, the other characters "bounceoff" him better. At the end the narrator reflects: Thewar has been over for fifteen years. What did itmean? What did it all add up to? What did all theseexperiences do to me? What he says, I shall read toyou:I LEARNED that you can understand peoplebetter if you look at them — no matter how old orimportant or impressive they may be — as if they arechildren. For most men never mature; they simplygrow taller."I learned that in some way, however small andsecret, each of us is a little mad. If we want to staysane we must moderate our demands — on ourselvesand on others.OCTOBER, 1962 "I learned that everyone is lonely, at bottom, andcries to be understood; but we can never entirelyunderstand someone else, no matter how much we try,or want to; and each of us remains part stranger evento those who love us."... I came to believe it not true that 'the cowarddies a thousand deaths, the brave man only one.' Ithink it is the other way around: it is the brave whodie a thousand deaths. For it is imagination, and notjust conscience, which doth make cowards of us all.Those who do not know fear are not really brave.Courage, I think, is the capacity to confront what canbe imagined."I learned that life — so precious, so variable, sohoneycombed with richness and delight — is held cheapand trivial in the scheme of impersonal events, . . .that all our lives hang by threads of nothing morethan luck. A vagrant microbe or an oil slick on theroad, an open door, the leak in a gas line, a madmanencountered by chance — against these what mattersall our painful accumulations of virtue, knowledge,nobility, sacrifice? There is no answer to death, norto many of the problems which perplex us; there areonly rueful accommodations to reality. And what isreality but a fortuitous play of circumstance, indifferent to our hopes or our unutterable aspirations? Andwhat is wisdom but the capacity to confront intolerable ideas with equanimity?"... I learned that no despotism is more terriblethan the tyranny of neurosis. No punishment is morepitiless, more harsh and cunning and malevolent, thanthat which we inflict on ourselves. And in later years, Icame to see that no oppression is more vicious thanthat of the more neurotic among us over the less.There is an imperialism in virtue which compels usto acquiesce to those who exploit it. For each of usis a slave to guilt, and acts out lifelong expiation —however disguised, however symbolic.". . . Then Newman said, 'My father once told mea story I always think of, when the going gets roughand things look hopeless. It's about Destiny . . .Destiny came down to an island, centuries ago, andsummoned three of the inhabitants before him. "Whatwould you do," asked Destiny, "if I told you that tomorrow this island will be completely inundated byan immense tidal wave?" The first man, who was acynic, said, "Why, I would eat, drink, carouse, andmake love all night long!" The second man who wasa mystic, said, "I would go to the sacred grove withmy loved ones and make sacrifices to the gods andpray without ceasing." And the third man, who lovedreason, thought for a while, confused and troubled,and said, "Why, I would assemble our wisest men andbegin at once to study how to live under water." '"I, too, never forgot that story. When our causeseems doomed and the future lost, when despair becomes unbearable and the heart is on the edge ofbreaking, let men summon hope and honor and highresolve in yet one more stubborn affirmation: Come,let us assemble our wisest men and begin at once tothink, to study, to try to learn — even to learn, if wemust, how to live under water." ¦7Via the National Educational Television network of more than sixtyaffiliated non-commercial stations, many alumni have been visiting ArgonneNational Laboratory during recent weeks.

Chairman of the Commission is Dr. Lowell T. Coggeshall,vice president of the University.Among the 13 authorities fromthroughout the nation who haveagreed to serve is Dr. Paul R. Cannon,pathologist, former chairman of theDepartment of Pathology at the University and professor here for 25 years.He is editor of the American MedicalAssociation Archives of Pathology.The Commission was established by the Pharmaceutical ManufacturersAssociation in an attempt "to broadenscientific knowledge regarding predictability of action in human beings ofpotent drugs likely to emerge in thefuture."THE SOCIAL ELITE-A Universityof Chicago social scientist analyzedthe Social Register in eleven citiesand found that upper classes in thenewer cities in the United States,which have had less time to buildsocial boundaries, are relatively opento mobility.The upper classes in the older citiesare relatively rigid. Factors considered important in influencing the ratesof mobility into the upper classes are:the city's age, the size of the population, size of the functional elite, andstate of the local economy.These are among the observationsmade by Mrs. Joan Moore, instructorin the Committee on Human Development at a meeting of the AmericanSociological Association, this Augustin Washington, D.C.She studied the upper class patternsof the following cities: Philadelphia,Boston, Buffalo, New York, Pittsburgh,Baltimore, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Chicago, St. Louis, and San Francisco.Of these, five are considered "oldcities" because they were the largestin 1800. These are New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, and Pittsburgh. The other six cities are called"new." [Washington D.C. was not in-10 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINENEWS OF the quadrangleseluded in the list of cities because admission procedures into the SocialRegister there differ radically fromthose of other cities.]Mrs. Moore found that the city'ssize is a "highly significant predictor"for old cities but not for new. On thewhole, older cities and older upperclasses alike had smoother and lesserratic patterns of growth than didthe newer cities and the newer upperclasses."In the 1920's . . . the average rateof growth for the Social Register ofold cities was half of what it hadbeen in the preceding decade. Butthe average rate of growth for newcities in the 1920's was only a tenthof what it had been in the teens."The depression drop was sharperfor the upper classes of new citiesthan for old, and the post-war recoverywas mainly characteristic of new cities."It can ... be concluded that theupper classes of old cities are relatively impervious to the influence ofexternal conditions."Mrs. Moore adds: "It can be concluded that in new cities local prosperity and depression have had someinfluence on the number of peopleformally listed as being in the upperclass, whereas this is not the case inold cities."Clearly upper-class growth patterns are a complex and subtle matter.Within any given city the upper classis sensitive to a multitude of factorsvarying from time to time and fromplace to place. "Upper-class Chicagoans woulddoubtless resent being classified withupper-class Cincinnatians, and Boston-ians would resent being placed in thesame category as New Yorkers. Infact, such classification does violenceto the historical uniqueness of thesecities."S. S. A. BUILDING-A new $1,250,-000 building will be constructed oncampus for the School of Social Service Administration.A commitment of $500,000 towardthe building fund for the new structure has been offered by the WoodsCharitable Fund, Inc.The new structure is expected tobe completed in 1963 at the southwest corner of 60th Street and EllisAvenue.It will contain 30,845 square feetto provide administrative and faculty offices, classrooms, seminar rooms,laboratory and research quarters, alibrary and service facilities.The School of Social Service Administration, one of the University'sseven graduate professional schools,was established in 1908 as an independent institution. Since 1920, it hasbeen an integral part of the University. It is one of the oldest schools inthe nation to specialize in advancedtraining for social work. It awardedthe nation's first Ph.D. in social workin 1924.In 1957, the School had a faculty of 40 and a student body of 140.Currently, the School has a faculty of50 and a student body of 227.Graduates of the School occupy keypositions throughout the United Statesand most parts of the world. At present, 132 SSA alumni are teaching in50 of the 62 accredited graduateschools of social work in the UnitedStates and Canada. Seventeen graduates are deans or directors of accredited graduate schools of social work.Since 1927 the School has publishedThe Social Service Review.In 1952 it was the first school ofsocial work to establish a researchcenter.Among current projects in whichSSA is participating are:—Study of youth gang problems, inconjunction with the Y.M.C.A. of Metropolitan Chicago.—Program in cooperation with theCook County Bureau of Public Welfare to determine how public assistance agencies can more effectively usetheir social workers.—Study to determine merits of probation, in conjunction with the Probation and Parole Department of theUnited States District Court for Northern Illinois.The School this fall will publish thebook, Justice For The Child, which includes articles from 10 authorities dealing with the problems of delinquencyin the United States. The book is theoutgrowth of a conference held on thecampus of the University in the Autumn of 1961.OCTOBER, 1962 11A Short History of Education*by Richard ArmourTHE ALUMNI SECRETARY, UNAWARE THATART CRITICS WOULD SOMEDAY MISTAKEHIS DRAWINGS OF CERTAIN MEMBERS OFTHE BOARD OF TRUSTEES . . .PREHISTORIC TIMES— Little is known about higher education during the Stone Age, which is perhapsjust as well.Because of a weakness in the liberal arts, the B.A.was not offered, and there was only the B.S., orBachelor of Stones. Laboratory facilities were meager,owing to a lack of government contracts and supportfrom private industry, but the stars were readilyavailable, on clear nights, for those interested inastronomy. ( Scholars, who went around without muchon, looked at the stars with the naked eye.)Prehistoric students, being before history, failed tocomprehend the fundamentals of the subject, such asits being divided into Ancient, Medieval, and Modern.There were no College Boards. This was fortunate,because without saw or plane, boards were rough.Nor were there any fraternities. The only clubs onthe campus were those carried by the students or, inself-defense, by members of the faculty.Alumni organizations were in their infancy, wheresome of them have remained. The alumni secretaryoccupied a small cave, left behind when the directorof development moved to a larger one. While waitingfor contributions to come in, he idly doodled on thewall, completely unaware that art critics would someday mistake his drawings of certain members of theboard of trustees for dinosaurs and saber-toothedtigers. The Alumni Quarterly came out every quarter of acentury, and was as eagerly awaited as it is today.THE CLASSICAL PERIOD — In ancient Athenseveryone knew Greek, and in ancient Rome everyoneknew Latin, even small children — which those whohave taken Elementary Greek or Elementary Latinwill find hard to believe. Universities wishing to teacha language which had little practical use but wasgood for mental discipline could have offered Englishif they had thought of it.Buildings were all in the classical style, and whatlooked like genuine marble was genuine marble. However, philosophy classes were sometimes held on thesteps, the students being so eager to learn that theycouldn't wait to get inside.The Peripatetic School was a college where the professors kept moving from town to town, closely followed by students and creditors. Sometimes lectureswere held in the Groves of Academe, where studentscould munch apples and olives and occasionally castan anxious eye at birds in the branches overhead.Under the Caesars, taxation became so burdensomethat Romans in the upper brackets found they mightas well give money to their Alma Mater instead ofletting the State have it. Thus it was that crowdsoften gathered along the Appian Way to applaud aspirited chariot race between the chairman of the* Copyright 1962 by Editorial Projects for Education, Inc.All rights reserved.WHEN A PROMINENT ALUMNUS WAS THROWN TO THE LIONS,THE ALUMNI OFFICE OBSERVED A MOMENT OF SILENCE, BROKENONLY BY THE SOUND OF MUNCHING.12 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINETHE IMPORTANT THING ABOUT THE RENAISSANCE WAS THE EDUCATION OF THEWHOLE MAN.funds drive and the tax collector, each trying to getto a good prospect first.The word "donor" comes from the Latin donare,to give, and is not to be confused with dunare, to dun,though it frequently is.When a prominent alumnus was thrown to the lions,customary procedure in the alumni office was to observe a moment of silence, broken only by the soundof munching. Then the secretary, wrapping his togaa little more tightly around him, solemnly declared,"Well, we might as well take him off the cultivationlist."THE MIDDLE AGES— In the period known as theDark Ages, or nighthood, everyone was in the dark.Higher education survived only because of illuminatedmanuscripts, which were discovered during a routineburning of a library. It is interesting to reconstructa typical classroom scene: a group of dedicated students clustered around a glowing piece of parchment,listening to a lecture in Advanced Monasticism, a ten-year course. If some found it hard to concentrate, itwas because they were dreaming about quitting before exams and going off on a crusade.Some left even sooner, before the end of the lecture,having spied a beautiful damsel being pursued by adragon who had designs on her. Damsels, who wereinvariably in distress, wrought havoc on a young man'sgrade-point average.Members of the faculty were better off than previously, because they wore coats of armor. Fully ac-coutered, and with their visors down, they could summon up enough courage to go into the president'soffice and ask for a promotion even though they hadnot published a thing.At this time the alumni council became more aggressive in its fund drives, using such persuasive devicesas the thumbscrew, the knout, the rack, and the wheel.A wealthy alumnus would usually donate generouslyif a sufficient number of alumni, armed with pikestaffsand halberds, could cross his moat and storm hiscastle walls. A few could be counted on to survivethe rain of stones, arrows, and molten lead. Such agroup of alumni, known as "the committee", was customarily conducted to the castle by a troubador, wholed in the singing of the Alma Mater Song the while.THE RENAISSANCE— During the Renaissance, universities sprang up all over Europe. You could go tobed at night, with not a university around, and thenext morning there would be two universities rightdown the street, each with a faculty, student body,campanile, and need for additional endowment.The first universities were in Italy, where Dantewas required reading. Some students said his "Paradise" and "Purgatory" were as hard as "Hell." Boccaccio was not required but was read anyhow, and inthe original Italian, so much being lost in translation.Other institutions soon followed, such as Heidelberg,where a popular elective was Duelling 103 a,b, usuallytaken concurrently with First Aid, and the Sorbonne,which never seemed to catch up with tourists as muchas the Eiffel Tower, the Folies Bergere, and Napoleon's Tomb. In England there was Oxford, where, bycurious coincidence, all of the young instructors werenamed Don. There was also Cambridge.The important thing about the Renaissance, whichwas a time of awakening ( even in the classroom ) , waseducation of the Whole Man. Previously such vitalparts as the elbows and ear lobes had been neglected.The graduate of a university was supposed, above all,to be a Gentleman. This meant that he should knowsuch things as archery, falconry, and fencing ( subjectsnow largely relegated to Physical Education and givenIN THIS POSITION FUND-RAISING OFFICIALS FOUND HEWAS COMPLETELY HELPLESS AND GAVE GENEROUSLY, ORCOULD BE FRISKED.OCTOBER, 1962 13only one-half credit per semester), as well as, in thesenior year, how to use a knife and fork.During the Renaissance, the works of Homer, Virgil,and other classical writers were rediscovered, much tothe disappointment of students.Alumni officials concentrated their efforts on securing a patron, someone rich like Lorenzo de' Medici,someone clever like Machiavelli, or (if they wishedto get rid of a troublesome member of the administration) someone really useful like Lucrezia Borgia.COLONIAL AMERICA — The first universities inAmerica were founded by the Puritans. This explainsthe strict regulations about Late Hours, CompulsoryChapel, No Liquor on the Campus, and Off-Limits toUnderclassmen which still exist at many institutions.Some crafts were taught, but witchcraft was anextracurricular activity. Witch-burning, on the otherhand, was the seventeenth century equivalent of hanging a football coach in effigy at the end of a badseason. Though deplored, it was passed off by theauthorities as attributable to "youthful exuberance."Harvard set the example for naming colleges afterdonors. William and Mary, though making a goodtry, failed to start a trend for using first names. It wasmore successful, however, in starting Phi Beta Kappa,a fraternity which permitted no rough stuff in its initiations. At first the Phi Beta Kappa key was wornon the key ring, but the practice went out with thediscovery of the watch chain and vest.During the Colonial Period, alumni officials limitedtheir fund-raising activities to those times when analumnus was securely fastened, hands and legs, in thestocks. In this position he was completely helplessand gave generously, or could be frisked.REVOLUTIONARY AMERICA — Higher educationcame to a virtual standstill during the Revolution — every able-bodied male having enlisted for the duration. Since the ROTC was not yet established, college men were forced to have other qualifications fora commission, such as money.General George Washington was given an honorarydegree by Harvard, and this helped see him throughthe difficult winter at Valley Forge. Since he gave nocommencement address, it is assumed that he madea substantial contribution to the building fund. Thenagain, mindful of the reputation he had gainedthrough Parson Weems's spreading of the cherry treestory, he may have established a chair in Ethics.Unlike the situation during World War I, whencolleges and universities abandoned the teaching ofGerman in order to humiliate the Kaiser, the Colonists waged the Revolutionary War successfully withoutprohibiting the teaching of English. They did, however, force students to substitute such good old American words as "suspenders" for "braces," and themeswere marked down when the spelling "tyre" was usedfor "tire" and "colour" for "color."The alumni publication, variously called the AlumniBulletin, the Alumni Quarterly, and the Alumni Newsletter, was probably invented at this time by Benjamin"A.14 THE MIDDLE AGES: DAMSELS, WHO WERE INVARIABLY IN DISTRESS, WROUGHT HAVOC ON A YOUNG MEN'S GRADE-POINT AVERAGE.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEROBERT HUTCHINS TURNED THE U. OF C. UPSIDE DOWN,THEREBY NECESSITATING A NEW BUILDING PROGRAM.Franklin, who invented almost everything else, including bifocals and kites. The first such publication wasprobably Poor Alumnus' Almanac, full of such homelysayings as "Early to bed and early to rise makes a manhealthy, wealthy, and wise enough to write his AlmaMater into his will."CONTEMPORARY AMERICA — In the nineteenthcentury, denominational colleges were founded in allparts of the country, especially Ohio. In the smallerof these colleges, money was mostly given in smalldenominations. A few colleges were not named afterJohn Wesley.State universities came into being at about the sametime, and were tax supported. Every taxpayer wastherefore a donor, but without getting his name on abuilding or being invited to dinner by the president.The taxpayer, in short, was in the same class as theAnonymous Giver, but not because he asked that hisname be withheld.About the middle of the nineteenth century, womenwere admitted to college. This was done (1) to relieve men of having to take women's parts in dramaticproduction, (2) to provide cheer leaders with shapelier legs, and ( 3 ) to recruit members for the Women'sGlee Club, which was not prospering. Women students came to be known as co-eds, meaning that theywent along with a man's education, and he couldstudy and date simultaneously. It was not realized,when they were admitted, that women would get mostof the high marks, especially from professors whograded on curves.In the twentieth century, important strides weremade, such as the distinction which developed between education and Education. Teachers came to betrained in what were at first called Normal Schools.With the detection of certain abnormalities, the namewas changed to Teachers Colleges.John Dewey introduced Progressive Education,whereby students quickly knew more than their teachers and told them so. Robert Hutchins turned theOCTOBER, 1962 University of Chicago upside down, thereby necessitating a new building program. At St. John's College everyone studied the Great Books, which weremore economical because they did not come out eachyear in a revised edition. Educational television gavecollege professors an excuse for owning a televisionset, which they had previously maintained would destroy the reading habit. This made it possible forthem to watch Westerns and old movies withoutlosing status.Of recent years, an increasing number of studentsspend their junior year abroad. This enables themto get a glimpse of professors who have been awayfor several years on Fulbrights and Guggenheims.Student government has grown apace, students nownot only governing themselves but giving valuablesuggestions, in the form of ultimatums, to the presidents and deans. In wide use is the Honor System,which makes the professor leave the room during anexamination because he is not to be trusted.Along with these improvements in education hascome a subtle change in the American alumnus. Nolonger interested only in the record of his college'sfootball team, he is likely to appear at his class reunionfull of such penetrating questions as "Why is thetuition higher than it was in 1934?" "Is it true that85% of the members of the faculty are Communists?"and "How can I get my son (or daughter) in?"Alumni magazines have kept pace with such advancements. The writing has improved, thanks toschools of journalism, until there is excitement andsuspense even in the obituary column. Expressionhas reached such a high point of originality that arequest for funds may appear, at first reading, to bea gift offer.However, if pictorial content continues to increase,it will not be necessary for alumni to know how toread.This cannot come too soon. ¦b fr.jn twaMJBfljtfmrtlHKwagSIIF THE PICTORIAL CONTENT CONTINUES TO INCREASE, ALUMNIWILL NOT NEED TO KNOW HOW TO READ.Artist: Sarah Delozier15NEWS OFA SHORT LISTING OF SOME APPOINTMENTS TO THEUNIVERSITY STAFF AND SOME AWARDSSAUL BELLOW, prize-winning novelist, has been appointed professor inthe Committee on Social Thought.The Committee is a degree-grantingunit organized "to contribute to theunification of all recent discoveries inthe arts and sciences."

TILLICH19DIRECTOR GERALD TEMANER '57AND PHOTOGRAPHERVERNON ZIMMERMAN The Documentary Film Group, which has the reputation of being theoldest existing film society in America, is known on campus primarily asa student group which presents non-commercial films in Social Sciences122. Last year they assembled a series called "Images of the AmericanNegro on Film," showings of Brakhage's "Prelude, Dog Star Man," Van-derbeek's "Astral Man," the newly released and more complete versionof Eisenstein's "October," and Lionel Rogosin's "Come Back, Africa."They sponsored at a Midwest Film Festival, the only strictly 16mm filmcompetition in the U.S.Doc Film is an outgrowth of the film society that was formed in International House by Clifton Utley '27, and moved to campus officially in1941. It started by showing only documentary films, but eventually amalgamated with another campus film society, and enlarged the range ofits presentations. A roster of Doc Film alumni would make a distinguishedlist of film distributors and critics. However, it would include very fewfilm makers.And, Doc Film records show very few attempts at film making: therewas a film on dormitory living done in the '50's and a film coverage of theUniversity Theatre production of "The Inspector General" in the '40's.Now, they are planning a serious attempt at a documentary. The topicis the College — "the College as it really is." They don't want to followsome student ("George") around campus, seeing all the things they canpossibly make George look at, and doing all the things they can possiblymake George do in one day. Nor do they want to film a set of campusscenes, monuments and plaques, and have a narrator give a tour-guide'scommentary in the background.They have looked at the College catalogue and noted that "the primarypurpose of education is intellectual," and that "There is no 'Chicago type'except in the general characteristic of a student body intellectually curious,alert, and independent, with confidence in their own ideas and with thecourage of their convictions." Finally, they have noted the diversityof experience offered to the students in the College — and they are excitedabout what they see.To this material they hope to bring the best of contemporary film techniques and their own wealth of viewing experience. University TrusteeFairfax M. Cone in a $2500 grant has staked them to half of their estimatedexpenses for the film. They are now engaged in raising the remainder.Their goal is a completed film next year. ¦20 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINECHOREOGRAPHY ON AHANDBALL COURT-DOCUMENTARY FILMRECORDS THE GAME FOR ITSPROPOSED CAMPUS FILM.OCTOBER, 1962 21A REPORTING OF THE COLLEGE"AS IT REALLY IS"IS THE GOAL OF THE FILM-THE TECHNIQUE IS THOROUGHLYCONTEMPORARY.22 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEHarold Harding '50Joins Alumni StaffHarold R. Harding, '50, joined the Alumni Association staff at Chicago onOctober 1st. On February 1, 1963, he will succeed Howard W. Mort, executive director of the Association, who retires on that date.The importance of this position has increased steadily since the firstdecade when such alumni as George Fairweather, '07, and Harry Hansen,'09, served as secretaries; Teddy Linn, '97, edited the Magazine in his sparefaculty time; and a part-time secretary juggled the few thousand alumninames in wooden files.Today alumni relations is big business with full-time staffs under professional directors, trained in the important areas of alumni public relations,fund raising, and editing.Harold Harding qualifies as a professional in this field. After graduatingfrom Chicago in 1950, he took additional work at Grinnell College where,in 1953, he was asked to take over and rebuild a neglected alumni program.In the four years he held this position, Harold increased alumni fundparticipation from 12% to 26%, enriched alumni programming, and editedan attractive, newsworthy quarterly.In 1957 he accepted an appointment as an assistant director of theAmerican Alumni Council, the national professional alumni organizationwith headquarters in Washington, D. C. which services alumni offices inthe fields of programming, fund raising, and editing. He has been a professional advisor to local associations throughout the country.Mr. Harding brings to the Association an enthusiasm for its currentprograms and an ambition to expand these services for even greatereffectiveness.Mrs. Harding is the former Louise Jones of Western Springs, 111., agraduate of Grinnell. The Hardings have two children, Victoria ( Vicki ) , 8,and Beverly, 9 months. Mr. Harding's father, Glenn, is an active memberof the Class of 1921 and his brother, Murray, was graduated from Chicagoin 1949. 8 8The committee from the Association to select Mr. Mort's successor wascomposed of: Howard E. Green, '25, chairman; George H. Watkins, '36;Keith I. Parsons, '33, JD '35; and Association President John F. Dille, Jr., '35,AM '56 (ex officio). Since the first of the year this committee has beeninterviewing candidates in Chicago and other communities. The committeeunanimously agrees that Harold Harding, as an alumnus and as an exceptionally trained alumni executive who has a high regard for his alma mater,will serve the Association and the University most effectively. |OCTOBER, 1962OLD NEWROUTINE Career-=•*»••.•*Are you satisfied with your present job?Here are 3 easy steps to a challenging new career.1.
