When laterstatistics are compiled, the total prob-ably will run close to 7,000. Despite thelarger entering class, the Collègedropped off 13 from last year, largelybecause of the number who completedtheir degree programs in June andAugust. The Divisions show a gain of228 and the Professional Schools added82, with a major item, enrollments inthe downtown and the Executive Pro-gram of the Graduate School of Business not yet reported.The wheels began to roll at fullspeed with the first classes and alreadythe unending process of selecting students for admission a year ahead hasbegun. In the current académie year oneof the major questions under considération is the organisation of the Collège, also something of a perennialquest in the University's activities.Provost Edward H. Levi has outlineda proposai for the shape of the Collègefor considération by the f aculty. A newdean of the Collège, to succeed AlanSimpson, who became président ofVassar Collège, also must be chosen tosucceed Mr. Levi, the acting dean.RESEARCH AFFILIATION — TheBrain Research Foundation, Inc., a national organisation with headquarters inChicago, has affiliated with the University to advance research and éducation on the brain and the nervous System. Established in 1953, the Foundation has sponsored an extensive pro-gram of professional and public éducation, and has instituted importantresearch activities. William E. Fay, Jr.,investment broker of Chicago, is président of the Foundation.4 THE ACADEMIC PLUMAGE — Shakespeare costumed Hamlet in black tomake him conspicuous against the bril-liantly costumed court, but some Chicago graduâtes hâve felt a sensé of in-feriority in their starkly black regaliawhen pitted against the spectrum ofothers in académie cérémonies. Takingnote of the problem, the Board ofTrustées has authorised alternative académie costume. The gown now mayhâve a maroon body with black velvetfront panels and black velvet bars onbishop sleeves — which are full, witha euff. The alternative to the black mor-tarboard may be an octagonal blackvelvet tam with maroon headband;officiais may hâve gold tassels. Thehood remains unchanged; black withmaroon lining and colored velvet border appropriate to the académie field.Hi-yah, Oxford!FACULTY HONORS— Dr. CharlesB. Huggins, William B.

McLean, professoremeritus of physiology, and the organiser and first head of the UniversityClinics, was presented with a medal andserenaded by the Singers of the University of Lund, Sweden, last June,when the group visited Chicago on anational tour. Dr. McLean had receivedan honorary M. D. (including a silkhat and one-gun salute) from Lund in1957. The Singers proposed a publicsérénade as part of the présentation;at Dr. McLean s suggestion the cere-mony was transferred instead to aluncheon in the Center for ContinuingEducation, at which the Swedish Con sul and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. FolkePersson, and Président and Mrs. GeorgeW. Beadle were among the guests.Perspectives in Biology and Medi-cine, of which Dwight J. Ingle, chair-man of the Department of Physiology,is founder and editor, published by TheUniversity of Chicago Press, receivedin September the 1964 citation of theAmerican Médical Writers' Association as the outstanding publication inthe category of specialty and researchjournals.Three members of the faculty wereamong the 49 behavioral scientists from36 différent institutions receiving 1964-65 fellowships at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, at Stanford, Calif.

Dr.Harper was a man of vision, originality and enthu-siasm. But he also was a solidly practical man witha flair for promotion and the spectacular. There wasmore than a touch of Barnum in him and he did notsubscribe to the theory of the self -merchandising qual-ities of the better mousetrap.When he started to construct his revolutionaryversion of a university he sought the best minds hecould entice. He offered his "head professors" thethen colossal salary of $7,000 ( and created the publicimpression that this was the going rate for his f aculty-which it wasn't) and he was absolutely ruthless in raid-ing other institutions. He ended up with a superbfaculty, including nine former présidents of other collèges and universities, a total that in itself was persuasive of the new university's stature.But he also gave attention to other means by whichhe could attract attention and create prestige. He usedfor his immédiate purposes a variety of inventions,whether "affiliations," the sending of his stars on thelecture circuit, or the running of spécial trains fromTexas to bring students to his new summer school.Although thèse and the many other things Dr. Harperdid were attention getters, they also were soundlyrelated to his idéal of a great university. His lecturerswere no medicine men, the affiliations had a legitimatepurpose, and the train saved his Texas contingentmoney.One of the unusual facts about the start of theUniversity is that Dr. Harper was not its président,nor was the University even incorporated, when hestarted out to build it. He was the central figure inits whole inception; the men who had conceived andstruggled for it were convinced they could not succeedwithout him at the head of the effort.But until February, 1891, he did not accept hisélection by the Board of Trustées, which had beenvoted in September, 1890. He was not being coy; hewas troubled that his theological position created thebasis for charges of unorthodoxy that might damagehis effectiveness and react against the University.It was not until he resolved that doubt — which Mr.Rockefeller refused to do for him — that he became theNOVEMBER, 1964 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 7acknowledged président.Meanwhile, Dr. Harper had been out recruitinganyway. One of the first he approached, as early asOctober, 1890, was Amos Alonzo Stagg. A major partof this story has become available through correspond-ence from Mr. Stagg's files, which the thoughtfulnessof Alonzo Stagg, the "Old Man's" older son, broughtto the University archives a year ago. The recordilluminâtes Dr. Harper's fantastic attention to détailin administering ail aspects of the University, and italso reflects his détermination to use athletics as ameans of promoting awareness of its existence.As usual, Dr. Harper's judgment of men was un-erring. Mr. Stagg was famous in his field, a récentgraduate of Yale — and so known to Dr. Harper, thenon the Yale faculty — where he had been a greatathlète. He had just joined the faculty of the Spring-Amos Alonzo Stagg and Mrs. Stagg, before their marriagein 1894, when she was an undergraduate at the University field, Mass., Y.M.C.A. Collège, taking the positionbecause he had decided that his best contributioncould be made by working with young men ratheithan by entering the ministry.Dr. Harper's opening move was a letter, dated fromNew Haven, October 21, 1890, to Mr. Stagg: "Mydear Friend, I hâve an important matter about whichI wish to talk with you. . . ." The important matteiwas revealed in a meeting between the two in th«breakfast room of the Murray Hill Hôtel in New York.Mr. Stagg gives an account of what transpired in hiiautobiography, Touchdown."Dr. Harper then unfolded his plans for the University and broached the subject of my heading up thiathletic department, first offering me a salary rj$2,000. The whole idea was new to me and I kept stiBand just thought. Dr. Harper did not wait long butsaid, '111 offer you $2,000 and an assistant professor-ship.' Still I kept silent and thought. Décision andaction were dominant characteristics of Dr. Harper'imakeup, and probably thinking that the question otsalary — which was furtherest from my mind — waicausing my hésitation, he enthusiastically burst inwith: TU give you $2,500 and an associate professor.ship, which means an appointment for lif e.' "Mr. Stagg kept silent and thinking until November25, with at least one prodding letter from Dr. Harperin the interval, before responding: "After muchthought and prayer I feel decided that my life canbe best used for my Master's service in the positionwhich you hâve offered. . . ." Dr. Harper replied onDecember 1. ". . . at the Board meeting we shall closethe matter up. I cannot express to you in words mysatisfaction in référence to your décision. . . . Thankingyou most heartily for your willingness to throw in yourlot with mine, and assuring that whatever happens,I shall be true to you and the interests at heart. . . ."A month later, he wrote Mr. Stagg: "My dear Friend,You hâve seen in the papers that our plan hasgone through. Your name was laid before the Boardof Trustées and accepted. Consider yourself there-fore positively engaged. I am anxious to hâve atalk with you. We want you to begin planning forthe gymnasium. . . ."In a letter of January 20, 1891, Mr. Stagg wrote hisfamily about this "talk." "Went from Springfîeld toNew Haven and spent three hours with PrésidentHarper at his home, two of which were devoted totalking over the Chicago University in gênerai andthe proposed gymnasium in particular. . . . It, there-fore will be my business in the next few weeks tostudy up gymnasia."But there was an even more intriguing aspect tothe discussion: "Président Harper asked me if 1thought I could take care of the girls. I told himthat I thought I could. He said, T don't believe you8 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE NOVEMBER, 1964Temporary structure, where Hutchinson Commons now stands, which housed the library, bookstore, press and gymnasiumcan, Stagg, ail alone. You'll hâve to get married andlet Mrs. Stagg help you.' Président Harper expectsa large number of girl students."Never one to act precipitately, whether in pickinga lineup or a wife, Mr. Stagg did not rush to act onDr. Harper's order that he find himself a spouse whocould help him work with the girls. He waited threeyears and then he really picked a winner, a winsomesophomore in the new University's student body, StellaRobertson. No bloomer girl athletic type, she builtan unusually tender marriage that lasted 68 years, untillast July 22; and if she did not teach gymnastics to thewomen students she helped Mr. Stagg in countlessunselfless ways.This early 1891 meeting with Dr. Harper resolvedan uncertainty in Mr. Stagg's mind. "I had been indoubt ever since accepting the position what Dr.Harper's attitude toward athletics would be, fearinglest he, in his race for intellectual achievement, woulddiscard intercollegiate athletics and be content withjust enough exercise to keep the body in fair conditionfor mental work."But in answer to my question . . . he said: 'I ammost heartily in favor of them. I want you to developteams which we can send around the country andknock out ail the collèges. We will give them a palacecar and a vacation, too.'"Thèse words made me very happy for it means sucha vast deal more of pleasure to me. . . . More thanthis, it will be sure to create a strong collège spirit. . . .And last and best of ail, it will give me such a finechance to do Christian work among the boys whoare sure to hâve the most influence." Satisfied though he was with what Président Harperoffered, there were some temptations for Mr. Stagg,and some appréhensions by Dr. Harper, who knewthe hazards of compétitive recruiting. Between theoffer and the approval of the Board, Dr. Harper hadwritten on December 6, 1890; "I see in today's paperthat the Johns Hopkins directors are trying to get youfor the athletic work at Baltimore. You must standfirm for Chicago. They will give you no such positionthere as you will hâve in Chicago. There can neverbe the number of students there that there will be inChicago. And besides, you need the next two yearsfor study and préparation for the future."There apparently was nothing to that rumor, but areal threat arose almost a year later, the more seriousbecause it came from Yale, which had a great claimon Mr. Stagg's affections. Dr. Harper wrote to Mr.Stagg, again after reading the newspapers, as to "someitnpleasant rumors about overtures which are madeyou from Yale. Perhaps they are of the same characteras those concerning Johns Hopkins a year ago. Weare depending on you. Already we are on thetrack of a man from whom we are expecting agymnasium. . . ."Mr. Stagg, in a cross-letter of the same date, toldDr. Harper that he had been startled by a news story,which followed his giving spécial coaching to theYale team, that he was going to give up Chicago fora position at his aima mater. He continued, "Proposaisin truth were made to me this week to fill the positionat Yale. Day before yesterday I also received a committee from the University of Pennsylvania urgingupon me the department of Physical Culture in thatNOVEMBER, 1964 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 9*&-' I El\\ * •W J*^-.ilt¦ .. illuniversity. A few weeks ago, one of the Harvard professors told me that Harvard had a proposai also tomake to me, though it was not put in definite form then"A position at Harvard or the University of Penn-sylvania has appealed to me chiefly from the financialside as I was given to understand I would receive atleast $1000 and probably $1,500 more than you areto give me. The Yale proposai has appealed to me themost. I want to ask your advice as a good friend whatyou would do under a similar situation. . . ." Dr.Harper's reply to that unfortunately is not available,but it is unlikely that he answered in any but the mostinsistent way, for Mr. Stagg turned up on the Midwayin September, 1892.The correspondence continued unabated; Mr.Stagg's often voluminous letters being in a Spencerianhand. Items of particular discussion were Mr. Stagg'sprogram, provision for assistants, and the gymnasiumwhich Dr. Harper had held out as part of the lure,something which was especially important to Mr. Stagg, who toured the collèges of the eastern seaboardto get the latest ideas to incorporate into the Chicagogymnasium.The detailed program submitted by Mr. Stagg foithe Department of Physical Culture was enthusias-tically received by Dr. Harper, who called it "magni-ficent." In submitting it, Mr. Stagg noted: "I makethe estimate on the basis of 400 students in the under-graduate department, the number you inserted in placeof my 200."In a report to his family of his first days at Chicago,a problem that was to become familiar was voiced byMr. Stagg. "I am taxed to my utmost limit in arousingenthusiasm in football. The boys are nearly ail eagerstudents and their hours are so badly eut up that theyhâve difficulty getting out." Two months later, at theend of the first season, in which Mr. Stagg was theChicago quarterback, he wrote: "I invited the footballteam to a spread in a room in Vendôme Hôtel. Thespread consisted of cake, ice cream, almonds, EnglisKwalnuts, grapes, bananas, oranges, apples and candy."10 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE NOVEMBER, 1964Chicago's football teams soon became formidable,and certainly A. A. Stagg was proving out in his fieldto be one of the présidents notable acquisitions. ButDr. Harper, with his abounding energy and attentionto détail, kept an eye on continued athletic progressand success, as he did in ail other areas of the University. He was réceptive to recruiting suggestions andpassed them on to Mr. Stagg, with a pretty directadmonition to go after the prospects.So, in 1902 he wrote about a young man "who hascompleted ail but the last grade in the high schoolat Mt. Pleasant, Michigan," and who, according tohis informant, "is a strong man on a football teamand a good singer. He has been planning to go to WestPoint, but a little effort might bring him hère. Wouldit not be a good thing for you to write him? " Andagain, among others: "F. S. Shively, a Crow Indian,wants to corne to the University. He says that he hashad some expérience in football, baseball and on thetrack. He is a graduate of the Carlisle Indian School.His address is Crow Agency, Montana."NOVEMBER, 1964 THE UNIVERSITY OF Another suggestion concerned a "crack left-handedpitcher" in a Cleveland high school, "a poor boy whohas to work his way through school. The principal ofthe school seems to be very favorable toward us. Can'twe do something to hâve him corne this way?" Antici-pating later developments of big-time football, Dr.Harper had inquired in 1900 of Mr. Stagg: "I amwondering if you would be willing to visit a fewschools in the interests of the University? Some timelet us talk it over."Morgan Park Academy, because of its relationshipto the University, was considered by Dr. Harper as aprivate préserve, and when he heard that one of itsbetter athlètes was going to Illinois, he wrote Mr.Stagg: "I notice what is said in the newspapers aboutcoaxing the Morgan Park students away to Illinois. Isthere something which can be done about this? Itseems to me that this is strongly illegitimate."Eligibility and the performance of the teams werealso watched by Dr. Harper. In 1900 he wrote to Mr.Stagg: "It would be a good idea for you to stir upthe track men in référence to their work. We must bereasonably strict with them." Two years later: "Whateffort, if any, is being made to keep up the class standing of the University football men? Would it not be agood thing to get [Henry Gordon] Gale or [Phillip S.]Allen to look after the fellows and let them coach upany who may be approaching the danger line as thefirst three weeks draw to a close? I see no reason whywe should not coach them up just as the crews in theEast hâve men in the training quarters tutoring themen. . . ."Président Harper also kept close watch on thestandards of eligibility and the conduct of the teams."Please explain to me how X was permitted to playin the Autumn Quarter with three demerits in previousquarters uncancelled on the Examiner's books. Pleaselet me know today how this happened."In 1901: "I am hearing from several sources thatthe scrub team last week in the contest with LewisInstirute did 'dirty' work. ... If there is any manon the team who did 'dirty' work, he must be droppedimmediately." Mr. Stagg blithely replied, after investigation, that he found nothing of the sort, but that oneof the men "kept using the phrase 'put them out ofbusiness,' his purpose in using the same being moreto stimulate the men than to do dirty work."There was a story current among the first générationfaculty which cannot lightly be dismissed as apocry-phal, that the legendary Walter Eckersall played in aMaroon jersey because of some direct-action recruitingby the président. Eckie, the story goes, awaited oneSeptember afternoon at the Englewood station a trainto take him to Ann Arbor, when Dr. Harper droveCHICAGO MAGAZINE 11up in a buggy. He drove off with Eckersall, directlyto the Registrar's office.Dr. Harper kept as sharp an eye on collatéral phasesof the athletic contests as an imprésario. In 1897, heinquired of Mr. Stagg, "Why can we not hâve a bulletinboard on the athletic field something like the boardat Princeton, on which the progress of the game willbe kept in such a way as that ail can see and under-stand it?" The same letter asked: "Should there notbe a band at the Michigan game Thanksgiving Day?"In 1904, "Are you planning to take the band toMichigan? It seems to me that if it can be done thisought to be done. It will mean a good deal, thoughthe expense may be heavy."Up to the very last year of his life he kept watchingthe détails. Late in November, 1905, he took note ofanother problem: "Is it true, as has been suggested tome by some downtown people, that the bleachers arevery dirty and in fact utterly unfit to ask ladies andgentlemen to sit upon? Would it be possible to see thatthey are swept clean before the large games?"The epic Michigan-Chicago game on ThanksgivingDay of 1905 was for its time the équivalent of the RoseBowl, and Dr. Harper, though a very ill man, was alert.He suggested that box seats be installed for the game,to accommodate distinguished guests, a proposai Mr.Stagg vetoed because the boxes would take up morespace than the return would justify in view of theMr. Stagg obliges the cameramen with an exaggerated reactionto the birthday cake for his 90th anniversary, in July, 1952 "enormous demand for seats."Another message said, "I am enclosing a copy of aletter which I hâve sent to Mr. [Wallace] Heckman| Business Manager] . I am sure that you will not mis-understand this. I am simply trying to make certain inevery point that we hâve considered beforehand ailthe possible difficulties of handling the crowd onThanksgiving Day. ... If he [Mr. Heckman] wishesto introduce points which in your opinion are un-necessary, will you kindly refer them to me and Iwill pass on them."P. S. I hope that DeTray will corne around ail right."(DeTray had an injured eye, and despite his physi-cian's orders, went into the Michigan game at hisown initiative, with irréparable damage to the eye. )Président Harper was frequently in personal touchwith the players and consistently sent messages of encouragement. There is a letter of 1897, saying: "Ifyou could get the team together at any time secretly,without its being public, I should like to make a littletalk to them." Seven years later he wrote: "I want tocongratulate you most cordially, and through youthe team individually and collectively, together withthe captain for the splendid work of Saturday. It givesus a fine position for the remainder of the seasonand there was a satisfaction in the resuit which is hardto describe. Although unable to be présent at thegame, I followed closely the various stages of it untilthe end. Three cheers for the team! Tell the boyshow I feel, but do not let this letter be published.Let us fix the date for the football dinner."Answering a question from the président aboutprospects for 1905, Mr. Stagg wrote Dr. Harper: "Ifeel that with this lot of men to work with I shallhâve the best material in the history of the University."This was the squad that was to become one of thegreat teams of Chicago football, and it was rollingalong at the end of October, with continuing cheersfrom Dr. Harper. He wrote his congratulations then,and again on November 21, after Illinois had beendefeated, adding a look toward Michigan:"I wish to congratulate you and the team uponSaturday's game with Illinois, and to join with everyoneelse in expressing my amazement as well as appréciation of the work which Eckersall did. I am fullyof the opinion which the papers say you expressed thatour chances on Thanksgiving Day are not strong. Atthe same time, I am inclined to think that if the menhâve the right spirit there is a good fighting chance."I need not tell you and them that it would be acharming thing if we were to corne out ahead, but thegreat thing is to do our best whatever the resuit shallbe. Nothing more than this is called for; at the sametime, nothing less."In the autumn of 1905, Dr. Harper was confined tohis home, and usually to his bed, with cancer that was12 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE NOVEMBER, 1964to end his life early the next year. A description ofthe home games was given to him over a téléphone.As the epic Michigan game progressed he became soexcited and weak that he had to ask Elizabeth Wallace,a member of the faculty who was attending him whilehis family watched the game, to take the receiver andrelay the play-by-play. At half-time, he sent MissWallace running across the quadrangles to deliver hispersonal message of encouragement to the team.He had written Mr. Stagg when the latter acceptedhis offer in 1890: ". . . assuring you that whateverhappens, I shall be true to you and the interests atheart. . . ." The relationship between the two menwas indeed a close and and mutually loyal one to thevery end. The record adequately demonstrates theprésidents support for Mr. Stagg, whose own leadership was paralleled by his loyalty.There were some minor occasions on which Dr.Harper mildly remonstrated with his famous coach.Mr. Stagg was not too attentive to paper work, partlybecause he just didn't hâve much office assistanceand had a multitude of active duties, including coach-ing in three sports, but also because he tended to dothings in person. In 1900, Dr. Harper wrote him:"I think it is a little unfortunate that the correspond-ence between our athletic départaient and that of otheruniversities is not attended to more promptly. This isthe fourth or fifth serious complaint that has beenpresented to me. Will you not kindly answer it atonce?"When Mr. A. C. Bartlett provided the funds for anew gymnasium that had been hoped for even beforethe University opened, Mr. Stagg resumed the planning he had begun in 1891. He was so prolific inadding features, making improvements and changingthings, that Dr. Harper felt compelled to admonishhim in February, 1903: "You must call a hait in sug-gesting changes in référence to the gymnasium. Itnever will be finished if we keep up this sort of thing.Let us stop."In the suramer of 1905, with Bartlett Gymnasiumcompleted and equipped with a set of removablevarnished bleachers that Mr. Stagg cherished, Dr.Harper had to express his philosophy of the unity ofthe University, because Mr. Stagg wanted to' chargefor the outdoor use— with a hazard to the varnish—of the bleachers by another department."It seems to me that you are a little rigid with theUniversity in this matter," Dr. Harper wrote. "TheUniversity is a unit. Every part ought to help everyother part. I am surely doing everything I can to helpthe Athletic Department and when the Athletic Department can help the other departments without costit seems to me that such assistance,, ought to be ex-tended."NOVEMBER, 1964 THE UNIVERSITY OF Baker Electric, gift of the alumni, from which Mr. Stagg coachedthe team in 1919, because of the récurrence of a back injuryShortly before his death, it appeared to Dr. Harperthat his colleague had been critical of him. He wrote.the day after Christmas, of 1905: "In Casper Whit-ney's public address he speaks of some influence higherup that has kept you from doing what in the bottomof your heart you would like to do for athletics in thewest . . . Who is it? At first sight, it would seem to bemyself, for who is higher up? If this is his feeling, Iwish very much that you would set him right and me... In any case, will you not write me a letter on thissubject to relieve my mind?"Mr. Stagg replied: "I feel positively sure that Mr.Whitney did not hâve you in mind in his référencebut rather the alumni ... I am certain that he basedhis remarks on the material which was set forth in thearticles in Colliers Weekly. In the article on Chicagoit was brought out that the alumni had influenced meto change my point of view on the matter of 'solicit-ing' athlètes to corne to the University. . . ."I hâve never heard it suggested anywhere that Iwas hampered in any way in carrying out my ownideas in the conduct of our athletics and I do notbelieve that there is a living person who thinks I hâvebeen. I certainly hâve never felt embarrassed or handi-capped in the least degree."On the other hand, I can speak out of a heart fullof gratitude to you, my dear Président Harper, forthe loyal and generous support which you hâve alwaysshown in the affairs of my department. I can assureyou, Mr. Président, that I hâve not one unpleasantmemory to look back upon in connection with yourrelationship to me and my ideals, but on the otherhand the memories of your many helpful suggestionsand your invaluable support and your words of com-mendation so generously given to me at various timesI shall always treasure as among the sweetest thingsof my life."CHICAGO MAGAZINE 13BOOKS BY ALUMNIA report of some récent ly published booksANCIENTS AND MODERNS: Essays on the traditionof Political Philosophy in Honor of Léo Strauss — editedby Joseph Cropsey.

The American Foundation forContinuing Education, 1964, $1.95.Parents hâve a more critical responsibility in bringingup children today than in earlier periods of history. In a stable, slowly changing, agrarian society, the major institutions of the community reinforced each other in exem-plifying socially-approved behavior, in emphasizing ven-erated values, and in providing opportunities for youngpeople to gain expérience, compétence, and acceptancein recognized rôles in the community. The quality of thehome made a différence, of course, in the development ofthe child, but not as great a différence as found today.The anonymity, the mobility, and the complexity ofmodem communities with their plural values and conflictingactivities make socialization of children difncult and providelittle help to the child in developing an individual, auto-nomous personality. A good home plays a major rôle in thechild 's development of language, intellectual functioning,and emotional stability, as well as providing the foundationfor a strong personality. Other institutions, such as theschools, cannot do this job alone, as is tragically illustratedin slum areas.Against this background of need, Miss Kawin' s threevolumes and her manual are warmly and happily receivedand appreciated. In the first volume, Basic Concepts forParents, she outlines the philosophy which guides the sélection and validation of six fundamental characteristics asthe goals for the development of young people in a freesociety: feelings of security and adequacy; understanding ofself and others; démocratie values and goals; problem-solving attitudes and methods; self -discipline, responsibility,and freedom; and constructive attitudes toward change.In Volume II, Miss Kawin describes the child's development in early years, and follows with three chapters devotedto the more significant physical, mental and social-emotional characteristics. Then, the implications of thèse factorsand generalizations about early development are discussedin connection with each of the six goals listed above. Inthe second half of the volume, a similar séries of chaptersdeals with middle childhood, between the âges of tive andnine.In Volume III, Later Childhood and Adolescence, thefirst part deals with children between the âges of nine andthirteen. Three chapters outline the physical, mental, andsocial-emotional characteristics and six chapters suggestthe implications for the further attainment of the six goalsin later childhood. Part II, Adolescence, includes fourchapters which describe growth and development usuallyoccurring during this âge period and the physical, mental,and social-emotional characteristics of youth during thèseyears. Then five chapters outline the challenges adolescentscommonly face.

It is by far thebest material for this purpose this reviewer has seen andits value has been shown in ten years of extensive trialsinvolving thousands of parents.

Tyler, PhD, '27, Director,Center for Advanced Study in theBehavioral Sciences.NOVEMBER, 1964 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 15The AbbottPapersSocial Policy in the MakingEdith Abbott, daughter of a Nebraska judge and agraduate of the University of Nebraska, entered TheUniversity of Chicago for the first time in 1901, com-pleted her Ph.D. in 1905, and returned in 1920 as afaculty member in the School of Social Service Administration, of which she became dean in 1924. Afterher retirement in 1942, she continued to teach until1953.Grâce Abbott, Edith's younger sister, had been acountry school teacher in Nebraska before she cameto the University in 1904, with plans to work on aPh.D. By the time she completed her M.A., she hadbeen recruited as head of the Immigrants' ProtectiveLeague of Chicago. One thing led to another, and by1921 Grâce Abbott, expert on child labor and skilledadministrator of the first fédéral child labor law, hadbeen appointed to succeed Julia Lathrop, her longtimeHull-House friend, as chief of the United StatesChildren's Bureau. There she remained until 1934,when she returned to the University as professor ofpublic welfare and managing editor of the SocialService Review.During 1964 the papers of Edith and Grâce Abbotthâve become available in the Spécial Collections Department of the University of Chicago Library. Alongwith the materials in the University archives andthe Julius Rosenthal collection, they provide a richresource for the historian.Unfortunately, the papers of Edith Abbott areskimpy, probably because much of her writing con-sisted of letters to students, and most of thèse are inthe student records of the School of Social ServiceAdministration. Besides, Miss Abbott worked primarilyin Chicago, and much of her most effective work wasdone face-to-face.The papers show little of Miss Edith Abbott's officiaiGRACE ABBOTT16 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE NOVEMBER, 1964activity, but they give bits of information about whatshe was like as a person. They also give some glimpses0f student life sixty years ago. In 1904-05 Edith Abbotthad a fellowship of $320, from which she was to payruition of $40 a quarter and "render assistance" ininstruction, reading papers, work on journals, or librarywork.She must hâve worked hard, for in 1905, when shecompleted her oral examination, J. Laurence Laughlin,head of the Department of Political Economy, senther a handwritten note. "I was proud of your show-ing," he wrote. "I had a feeling that I was responsiblefor you in a way; but the style with which you showedoff makes me think that some others had a hand inproducing the resuit, chief of whom was your own self.Anyway, I am patting myself a little on the backjust to hâve had a share in the triumph." The papersinclude other letters from Professor Laughlin, whosepride in his student may be forgiven.Years later, in a speech to the Graduate Club, MissAbbott, recalling that the graduate divisions of TheUniversity of Chicago had always had their doors opento women, made the following comments about theplace of women in the University:I suppose you are ail familiar with JamesRussell Lowell's famous essay on A CertainCondescension in Foreigners. Well, in theold days there was a certain condescensionabout the men that was at times just a littleirritating. I belong, I suppose, to what may becalled the Middle Ages of the higher éducation of women. I know that when I wasyoung and the académie world seemed inhos-pitable and somewhat unjust, my mother re-minded me that when she was young she hadheard Colonel Higginson deliver a famous lecture on the subject "Should Women Learn theAlphabet? " My mother belonged to the darkâges. But in my day as a student hère therewas still much discussion of the inferior intel-lectual abilities of women. . . . I sat next to anundergraduate man in a law course one year,and he confided to me . . . that he wouldn'tbe disappointed if I failed to pass, becauselaw was a study too difficult for women.In those days the highest compliment paid toEDITH ABBOTTNOVEMBER, 1964 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEa woman student was to tell her that she had a"man's mind/' The men couldn't understandwhy we didn't think that was altogether com-plimentary. In those days there was much discussion of the relative weight of men's andwomen's brains. At first there was a theorythat the heavier the brain the more superiorthe mind, and we were told that brains of menwere heavier than the brains of women andtherefore were superior. Later the theorychanged, and we were told that the heavybrains were the inferior brains and then ourbrains suddenly became heavy brains.But we hâve corne out of the dark âges andand through the middle âges down to modemtimes, and I wish only to say how much someof us, who were students hère in those olderdays, felt we owed to the University of Chicago, where whether we had ail we wanted ornot; at any rate, we had more than was givento women in any other one of the great centersof graduate study. In ail departments we weretolerated and in most of them we were cor-dially welcomed.Upon completion of her Ph.t)., Miss Abbott wentto the Carnegie Institution and then to the LondonSchool of Economies to continue her study of theconditions and wages of women workers. She learnedabout wages, about hours, about protection fromaccidents. Her notes and observations, meager thoughthey are, are shot through with bits of observationthat give some clue to the greatness of this woman.She made notes on wages, hours and factory régulations. She jotted down the titles of numerous pamphlets and government reports, perhaps those thatshe later obtained for the excellent collection ofEnglish documents in Harper Library, but she alsonoted little things ignored by a less perceptive student.For example, she noted place names— Hayfield Passage, Frying Pan Alley, Sugar Loaf Court, and AngelRoad in Westham, where cat and dog health powderswere sold. She copied quotations from Goethe, Mill,Wilde, Chesterton, Shaw, and numerous others. Some-times there were simple phrases, whether her own orthose of persons with whom she talked. Some of thèsephrases appear later in her own writings. . From Hob-house she chose comments about poverty: "Those whohâve ail they want are far more disposed to believe thatGod is in his heaven and that there must be somethingwrong with those who cannot get justice done to them."There were many other comments about the poor:"The poor are wise, more charitable, more kind, moresensitive than we are." There was a bit from Gladstone, "The living mass that are dead while they live." From an undocumented source came this wry bit:"In old days they hanged the leaders of popularmovements. Now they ask them to dinner— a methodof extinction which has proved far more effective."There were little jokes, descriptive of people: Theboy who, told to choose the time and place of hispunishment, had said, "Yesterday," or the man whohad said, "I can t talk without thinking, I m no lawyer."Bits such as thèse were to enliven Miss Abbott'slectures in later years.To the young researcher, the following statementsseemed worth copying: "A truth that has survivedcriticism has far more vitality than one which hasnever been subjected to it" (from Helen Bosanquetof the London Charity Organisation Society); and"The beginning of our acquaintance, whether withpersons or things, is to get a definite outline for ourignorance" (no source given).Edith Abbott's papers contain very little for theyears 1908 through 1920, when Miss Abbott was amember of the faculty of the Chicago School of Civicsand Philanthropy, the independent school of socialwork that was to become the School of Social ServiceAdministration of the University. During those yearsMiss Abbott had dug into many of the grimy problemsof the city— housing, delinquency, family breakdown,immigration. Her writings during this period are tobe found in her books. The records of what socialworkers today call the "old school" are to be foundin the Graham Taylor Papers at Newberry Library.For the years after 1920 University Archives provideofficiai reports of the School. Miss Abbott's papersinclude some sketchy pièces that provide samples ofher activity and her point of view. They also includemany of her speeches, some of which were publishedelsewhere. There are also twelve boxes of lecturenotes for her courses in American philanthropy,English philanthropy, immigration, and public welf areadministration. Thèse notes, with supporting docu-mentary materials drawn from Miss Abbott's detailedburrowing in the documents relating to the Poor Law,immigration, crime, and other subjects, provide avaluable resource for teachers.If only some student in the 1920's had had the fore-sight to "bug" the dean's téléphone, the historians oftoday would be the richer. Much that was going onin Washington on Monday had its influence on whatwas taught in the School of Social Service Administration on Tuesday, and the research that was goingon in the School must hâve had its impact in Washington. The Abbott sisters were in close contact. Therewere fréquent trips back and forth, and there werenotes about developments. Grâce Abbott's officiaipapers are in the Children's Bureau archives in Washington, but some personal papers are hère.The papers from the Children's Bureau years include18 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE NOVEMBER, 1964a fascinating collection of letters and press releasesabout the proposai that Grâce Abbott be appointed Sec-retary of Labor. Pétitions by faculty members at Co-lumbia University carried the signatures of Allan Nev-ins, Jacques Barzun, and other beginning teachers whoare today famous. Grâce Abbott was apparently the firstwoman seriously considered for a Cabinet post. The editor of the New Republic wrote, "Many are urging MissAbbott because they would like to see a woman in theCabinet; we do so because she would make an un-usually able Secretary of Labor." But the appointmentweni to William N. Doak, and Grâce Abbott remainedas chief of the Children's Bureau.The collection includes sixty boxes of professionalpapers, including the full correspondence of thisunusual woman, who in retirement from Washington,continued her work for the causes to which she hadgiven her life. Perhaps few people on the Chicagocampus realized in 1934 and 1935 that the social législation of the future was being so strongly influencedby what was going on in Cobb Hall. Miss GrâceAbbott was "moonlighting" as a dollar-a-year womanfor the Children's Bureau. Her papers include correspondence with Dr. Martha Eliot, her successor atthe Children's Bureau; Frances Perkins, Secretary ofLabor; and numerous other public figures.Grâce Abbott was also a member of the TechnicalAdvisory Committee of the Committee on EconomieSecurity, which drafted the Social Security Act. EdwinWitte, professor of économies at the University of Wis-consin and a member of the original Social SecurityBoard, sent a long letter at the time of Grâce Abbott'sdeath pointing out that not only was Miss Abbottresponsible in large measure for the inclusion ofchildren's services in the social security program, butthat she also played a crucial part in getting the actpassed. As he put it, during the crucial days in 1935,the Ways and Means Committee of the House ofReprésentatives came very close to "ditching the entirebill." Mr. Witte described what happened:The committee members were deluged byletters from the Townsendites, who plainlyindicated that they would not be satisfied withanything less than pensions of $200 per month,which everybody on the committee knew wasimpossible. At the same time the committeemembers were hearing nothing but criticismfrom self-styled "experts" and "libérais," whoail professed that they were for social securitylégislation, but concluded that the pendingbill was unacceptable. Miss Abbott realizedhow very critical the situation had become.She was instrumental in bringing together anumber of people genuinely interested ingetting the Social Security Bill through the Congress in that session.She took the lead in organizing a small committee to contact leaders of public opinion inail walks of life, who joined in a statementpresented to Congress urging action upon thepending social security bill and expressing theidea that it was necessary to make a start ifsocial security was ever to be improved. Thatstatement helped a great deal and more thanoffset ail of the criticisms of the well-meaningexperts who could not reconcile themselves tothe slightest departure from their recommen-dations. I am satisfied that the Congressionalsession of 1935 was the last for several yearsin which the Social Security Act could hâvebeen passed, and I give Miss Abbott muchof the crédit for getting this measure throughCongress when it appeared to be lost.According to Winifred Walsh, A.M. '43, a doctoralstudent who has been making a careful study of MissAbbott's retirement years, this letter provides the keyto Grâce Abbott's effectiveness in work on sociallégislation. She was not without standards. She knewwhat she wanted, but she knew also what she couldsacrifice for a long-time gain. Though she workedduring her last years in the ivory tower of the University, she never lost the practical wisdom of a womanwho had occupied the highest fédéral position everheld by a woman up to her time.During her five years on the University campus.Grâce Abbott was plagued by récurrent illness, whichsometimes prevented her from attending importantmeetings in Washington or from testifying on pendinglégislation. Yet during thèse years she carried her fullshare of work in the University. She taught largeclasses and supervised student dissertations. She published her two-volume The Child and the State, a copyof which recently went to the White House libraryalong with Edith Abbott's Some American Pioneersin Social Welfare. She edited the Social Service Re-view. She carried on heavy correspondence in supportof the causes in which she believed, but she never letherself be drawn ofï into support of organizations forwhich she did not hâve time.Edith Abbott often spoke of her pioneer ancestors,who had helped to create a livable life on the Nebraskafrontier. The historian of the future will include theAbbott sisters among those pioneers whose efforts tomake life livable for the forsaken and the neglectedled to careful research and hard-headed efforts tobuild sound social institutions. The Edith and GrâceAbbott Papers will serve as an important source in thereconstruction of the history of the social movementsto which thèse great teachers côntributed so much.NOVEMBER, 1964 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 19THE CLASS OF '68Greeted, jabbed, tested, placed, "remitted" and finallyregistered during Orientation Period, it is statisticaltyand otherwise described by the Director of Admissions20 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE NOVEMBER, 1964My name is one that you may hâve heard before-and perhaps for this very reason I hâve been askedto open this morning's program. For, unless you hâvereported to the wrong collège, your Certificate ofAdmission was signed by Charles O'Connell, directorof admissions. That's me.Perhaps we should now both take a moment toinspect each other, and express our feelings— gratitude, horror, relief— whatever they may be. In a veryobvious way, this is a significant moment for bothof us. For almost a year now, most of you hâve beento those of us on the Committee on Admissions antver-growing pile of transcripts, recommendations,Collège Board scores, interview reports, and application forms. It is rather comforting to us to discoverthat this mountain of paper actually did conceal asizeable hall-full of flesh and blood. On your part, acertain relief is also understandable as you discover that the members of that grey, anonymous— and omi-nous— Committee on Admissions, who did their bestto make your senior year of high school a living hell,are also, after ail, without horns and, at least, super-ficially human.In dramatic literature such a scène as we are nowenacting is often called a "confrontation" or "récognition" scène. They are a fairly common literary de-vice. Schiller, the great German playwright, gets tre-mendous dramatic effects out of a moment surely nomore solemn than this one in his play Mary, Queenof Scots. He goes through two acts, alternating onehighly-pitched scène after another between Mary andElizabeth separately. Finally, in the third act, afteralmost unbelievable suspense, he brings them togetherface-to-face for the first time in the play in what issurely one of the great scènes in the history of thethéâtre.NOVEMBER, 1964 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 21But perhaps it would be fairer to turn to a playwith which you are— I hope— a bit more familiar. Macbeth. At least, for your sake, let us hope so.Confrontation scènes are hard to find in Macbeth,however. I am afraid that we can't count the scènein which Macbeth confronts the king— only to killhim. Or the scène in which Banquo confronts Macbeth—only to haunt him. It does occur to me, however,that the witches predict a rather exciting confrontation scène when they assure Macbeth that he willnever be vanquished until "Great Birnam Woods to22 THE UNIVERSITY OF Beamish and benign, for the occasion, Dean of Students WickDunsinane . . . shall corne against him." Hère is aconfrontation scène indeed! And as we think of theClass of 1968 approaching the médiéval ramparts ofthe Quadrangles this morning, there may even be acertain appropriateness to the analogy.But then we are faced with the word "Dunsinane*—and surely it would be inappropriate to look hèrethis morning for "dunces" of any kind. Besides, if wepursue the analogy too closely, it would appear thatwe should be looking on this side of the stage forDunsinane.In other words, it would be altogether more reward-ing if we dropped this literary parenthesis and talkeda bit more about you. Since most of you met for thefirst time yesterday, you might be interested in know-ing about yourselves.But first, a word of caution. The statistics I am aboutto give you are, even more than idleness, the devil'splayground. I might even préface my remarks about"averages" by reminding you of the man who drownedwhile crossing a river that he was told "averaged"only three feet deep. Nonetheless, you, the Class of1968, represent some mighty high-powered "averages."First of ail, if you hâve ail reported for duty, thereare 674 of you who are freshmen— 89 more than lastyear— and another 67 who hâve transferred to Chicagofrom other collèges. You hail from 46 states, the District of Columbia, and five foreign countries. No onewill be surprised when I say that the most heavilyrepresented state among you is Illinois and that slightlyless than thirty per cent of you corne from withina hundred miles of Chicago. Of the 674 freshmen,nonetheless, more than 92% of you hâve taken uppermanent résidence on the Quadrangles. You mayalso be interested to learn that, after Illinois, the mostheavily represented states are— in order— New York,New Jersey, Ohio, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Wis-consin, Maryland, Montana, Oregon, California, andIndiana.You corne from 474 différent secondary schools,public and independent. Four hundred fifteen of youare men, and there are two hundred fifty-nine verylucky young women to go around. The men amongyou might look to their laurels, for the compétitionfor a date might be even stiffer than the admissionscompétition you hâve just survived.You are "passably" bright. I dare not say that youare the brightest class to enter the Collège in humanmemory, because that would seem to be paying toohigh a compliment to you and to the Committee onAdmissions that selected you. Besides, I said it lastCHICAGO MAGAZINE NOVEMBER, 1964year— and the year before— and the year before that.And there are too many people around hère withlong memories. But it was only yesterday that I readin the daily paper a cynical, and ancient observationby a one-time président of Harvard, to the effect thatuniversities were indeed "storehouses of knowledge"-and why?— because the freshmen brought so muchto them and the seniors took so little away! Anyway,you are freshmen and ail the psychologists tell us thatyour morale needs bolstering— so 1*11 say it anyway.Seventy-seven of you, 11% of the class, are vale-dictorians, of high school classes ranging from eightto eighteen hundred. Of the 674 of you, 595, or 90%,ranked in the top fifth of your graduating classes, 502of you in the top tenth. A benighted 79 studentsranked somewhat lower— and let me hasten to addthat it will not be unusual to find this group wellrepresented on our dean's list two or three years later.Your teachers or perhaps your parents probably soldyou to us as "late bloomers." We shall see. . . .On the much-discussed Collège Board examina-tipns, you also pass inspection. As a class, you aver-aged 657 on the verbal side and 667 on the mathe-matical side of the Scholastic Aptitude Test. Thiswould seem to make you "well-rounded" as well asbright. Indeed, as I recall, at least one of you wasrecommended to us— with some difficulty, I felt— as"a well-rounded, many-sided young man."But if we introduce the élément of sex, if you willpardon the expression, more différences appear. Themen among you averaged 686 on the mathematicalside of the SAT, scoring a déplorable 648 on theverbal. And the poor women, who I hâve always beentold are preoccupied with their "figures," nonethelessmade an average of only 643 on the mathematicaltest. They preserved their réputation as the more ar-ticulate sex, however, with a blistering 664 as anaverage verbal score. It is not difficult to predict,men, that the 259 girls in the Class will make up indécibels what they lack in numbers.Seventy-nine members of the Class were admittedlast autumn under the Early Décision plan, and 19of you were admitted this spring as Early Entrants,directly from your junior year of high school. Twenty-five of you are Merit Scholars. And about half ofyou are receiving some form of financial assistancefrom sources other than your parents; from the University, from private educational foundations, andfrom various state scholarship programs.So . . . now you know ail about yourselves. Butdon't believe a word of it! The statistics are accurateenough, to be sure. But statistics conceal as much asthey reveal. The Quadrangles are piled high eachspring with the corpses of students who made 700and 750 on the Collège Boards but who came to usthinking that they had nothing more to do than con tinue the pattern of "floating through" that they hadset in high school.Don't let "high potential" become a convenientcrutch for laziness or inefficiency. Don't be the studentwho tells his professor: "Don't worry about me, prof!I hâve 'real potential' and when I get around to it,I'U use it." Unfortunately, a few students each yearjust don't get around to it in time. You are brightenough as a group to know ail of the latest psycho-logical jargon to explain away laziness or apathy: itisn't that you didn't prépare an assignment; oh, no!You had a "personality conflict" with the teacher; oryou were still seeking to "identify yourself" ; or, youdeveloped an "emotional block" against the subject. Itmight be wise for you to keep in mind that when youare bored and doing nothing, even breathing canNOVEMBER. 1964 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 23become an "emotional difnculty." So keep busy; de-velop a schedule for yourselves that you will followfaithfully day by day.Remember, we hâve devised no test yet in our admissions office to measure the criteria that really countfor success in the Collège: motivation, adaptability,sensible study habits, self-discipline, enthusiasm, physical stamina, and— yes, even a sensé of humor. Thèseare the qualifies you will need hère and that will bringyou success. Forget your own Board scores, andeveryone else's. You are starting out even. And therace, we can assure you from years of expérience, willgo not necessarily to the quick, but to the steadfast.You would not be in the Class of 1968 if we did nothâve confidence that you had the ability to succeed at the University of Chicago. But it is up to you no^to prove to yourselves that you are not only able butthat you also hâve staying power.There are many of us hère who will want to helpyou in every way we can. Indeed, as you meet ail ofus during the coming days of Orientation, you mayconclude that we outnumber you. This is not quitetrue. But you do not hâve to solve ail of your problemsalone; you do not hâve to assume the world's burdenson your lonely shoulders. You are attending a veryexpensive university— and one of the purposes to whichyour tuition is put is to provide you not only with agreat faculty but with the environment, advisorystaff, and facilities for a rewarding and pleasurablecollège career. In that career, I wish you Godspeed!66 No Co-eds at Chicago"You hâve been greeted, discussed, and described inmany ways this week. The director of admissions,with pardonable pride and admirable modesty, hascalled you "passably bright." You hâve been calledarticulate and pulchritudinous; Président Beadle him-self has commended your number and your abilities.But there is one word, much in use on campusesacross the country, that has not been used by anyonein greeting you or describing you— and will not beused. No one has called you "co-eds"— and no one hastalked about your "co-education" at Chicago. I thinkthis is peculiarly and particularly indicative of muchthat already is and will be your expérience in the Collège. Whatever the etymological roots, "co-eds" and "co-education" carry in common idiom a suggestionof: "auxiliary to," "in conjunction with," "also ran."There will be nothing "co" about your éducation atChicago.From the beginning, Chicago has educated, notco-educated, women; and the ranks of distinguishedwomen in fields from nuclear physics to English litera-ture attest to this. Women at Chicago were no after-thought. The doors of the University were open tothem from the first, and there were no bars, no conditions, no restrictive clauses on their educationalopportunities.You may hâve noticed the plaque in Mandel HallCorridor, outside the entrance to the Commons: a24 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE NOVEMBER, 1964mémorial to a very famous woman, Alice FreemanPalmer, who was président of Wellesley Collège beforeshe came hère at the start of the University as professor of history and dean of women. She and herassociate and successor, Marion Talbot, were not onlythe first deans of women at Chicago but, as well,the first in the nation. In addition to her many accom-plishments. Miss Talbot was a principal founder of theAmerican Association of University Women.The légal barriers and formai restrictions on wom-en's éducation hâve disappeared virtually everywherenow. But in today's world there are more subtle barriers, intangible subliminal barriers— particularly foryoung women. Thèse are the "non-thinks," the intangible préjudices. You know them better than I:"Women should be smart— but not too smart""It's more important to educate men than women""Women with brains and degrees price themselvesout of the marriage market"Just as Chicago pioneered in éducation for women when the barriers were tangible, légal ones, so todayin today's world, Chicago opens ail educational doorsto women as well as to men.Hère you will find an atmosphère which stimulâtesand encourages you to develop ail facets of your selfand your abilities. Hère, in the Collège community,you will be known for very basic qualifies. Hère youwill be judged not as a "co-ed," but for yourself : yourabilities, interests, and talents; your concerns and en-thusiasms, your ambitions and your aspirations.Hère you will find the world is truly open to you.Many hâve wished you well this week. As youbegin the next phase of your éducation I wish youhappiness. Not the happiness promised by the tooth-paste ad or the makers of the dashing convertible.Rather— the development of qualifies of talent, abilityand heart which is true éducation; and the oppor-tunity to give of your abilities and your selves to theworld, your own chosen work, your family and community, which is true happiness.NOVEMBER, 1964 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 25memorialsRITCHEY, MARY M.

Blackstone-Shelburne, N. Y.RUTH D. SAGER, '38, geneticist at ColumbiaUniversity, experimented for 12 years withalgae and presented her latest findings at aninternational conférence at The Hague lastyear. She was the first to explore systematic-ally the chance that Mendelian laws ofchromosome-carried neredity are not the wholestory in genetics— that beyond the neatlywrapped package of genetic material in thenucleus of eaoh cell there are free gèneselsewhere in the cell, unaccounted for, yetexercising influence upon the life of the celland its predecessors. Miss Sager theorizesthat thèse non-chromosomal gènes evolved before the genetic organization of DNA intochromosomes occurred. Chlamydomonas, thesingle-celled blue-green algae used for theresearch, approprlately parallels this évolutionary thème as "they are both plant and animal, or neither; ail 'higher life has evolvedfrom something like them."Miss Sager crédits Cari Correns, the Germangeneticist who helped rediscover the basiclaws of Gregor Mendei, with postulating theexistence of "NC gènes" in 1908.Living in a Manhattan apartment across thestreet from her laboratory, Miss Sager prefersDanish modem furniture and has a collectionof modem art.

Weston, University of Minnesota '49, discussesa Personal life insurance proposai with St. Paul masonry contractor, Robert Larson.Gordon Weston knows the secret wordAfter ten years of selling veterinary medicines, GordonWeston had reached an impasse. His sales record wasexcellent, but there was no chance for advancement.Clearly, it was time to look for another career orsettle for what he had.Gordon decided on life insurance after consideringseveral other fields. "I was convinced," he says, "thatthis business offered by far the greatest reward if I waswilling to work hard to gain it." With a family tradition of New England Life service behind him (hisfather, Ray Weston, was a New England Life agent forover 30 years), he joined this company in 1962.In October, Gordon célébrâtes his second anniver-sary with New England Life. How's he doing? His production for this period is well over the million dollarmark. He has already earned membership in the NewEngland Life Leaders Association. And he can look forward to greater rewards for greater achievements —with no ceiling on advancement.What does he attribute this record to? As he puts it,"There is only one secret word — work; there is onlyone resuit — success."If this type of career with New England Life in-terests you, there's an easy first step to take.

He's a General Motors development engineer and his job is tohelp see to it that every GM car opérâtes as smoothly and quietly as advancedtechnology and human skill can reasonably achieve. His work takes him into ananechoic chamber at the Milford Proving Ground where walls made of glass-fiber-wedges up to a yard deep absorb 99 percent of the sound made by a car in opération.In this room GM cars are "road proved" on a châssis dynamometer under manydriving conditions and at varying speeds. Every significant noise, no matter howslight, is studied, charted, evaluated. Object: quiet. This man and others like himnever stop striving to reach that goal.Highly refined laboratory setups like the Milford anechoic rooms contribute vitallyto the constant improvement of General Motors cars. But they would be valuelesswithout the knowledge and expérience of the men who use them. People, after ail,are the key to the continuing excellence of GM products. General Motors owes itsposition in industry to the dedication and ability of a great many exceptional people.GENERAL MOTORS IS PEOPLE...Making Better Things For You
