Levi, ProvostAs has frequently been observed, The Universityof Chicago did not begin as a collège and grow into auniversity. Conflicts and balance between teachingand research, as reflected in an emphasis on under-graduate or graduate work, hâve been with the University since the beginning. The original Harper planwas critized because it attempted to be both a collège and a university in the same institution. Harper'soriginal emphasis was in favor of research, but he wasgreatly interested in gênerai éducation. He developedthe junior collège as the main instrument for gêneraiéducation and as the means of coordinating the lasttwo years of high school work with the first two yearsof the collège.Thirty years later the University Senate reflectedslrains within the institution when it announced that"tbis University can perform its most distinguishedservice to éducation through its graduate and profes-sional schools" and suggested a limitation of undergraduate instruction. Dean Boucher later describedM period as a time when "undergraduate work wasSrossly neglected; even worse, the Collège came to be'egarded by some members of the family as an un-»anted, ill-begotten brat that should be disinherited.Wrly ail finally agreed that we had reached a situa-K>n that necessitated a décision either to abandon theCollège or to develop it . . . ."The Collège, of course, was not abandoned. Instead Président Burton took the position that its developmentwas "no less obligatory than the development of thework of the Graduate and Professional schools." In hisview, the University had then reached a stage whereundergraduate and graduate éducation should receivethat discriminating attention which each in its owncharacter demanded. The rationale for granting equalemphasis was in part that "the University is dominatedby the idea of research and that such research mustbe carried on in ail the social sciences and surely, notleast, in éducation."Five years later Président Hutchins in his inauguraladdress reaffirmed this position. He recognized that"the emphasi» on productive scholarship that hascharacterized the University from the beginning andmust characterize it to the end has naturally led torepeated questions as to the place and future of ourcollèges . . . . At times, therefore, members of thefaculty hâve urged that we withdraw from undergraduate work, or at least from the first two years ofit. But we do not propose to abandon or dismemberthe collèges .... If the University 's function is toattempt solutions of difficult educational problems. . . it cannot retreat from the field of undergraduatework . . . ."The fact is that throughout the history of the University, and despite the statements of discontent, whichin themselves are characteristic of the restless spiritÙECEMBER, 1964 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 3of this place, undergraduate éducation has alwaysbeen a principal and honored part of the University'swork. In the early years this was in accord with astrong sensé of mission to reveal the héritage receivedfrom the past. In later years the University's viewof itself as somehow unique compelled a particularconcern for the shape of undergraduate éducation.The académie leadership of the Collège through dean-ships or similar posts has been in the hands of suchmen as James R. Angell, George E. Vincent, DavidAlan Robertson, Ernest Hatch Wilkins, ChaunceyBoucher, Aaron J. Brumbaugh, Clarence Faust, F.Champion Ward, Robert E. Streeter, and Alan Simpson.An almost continuous dialogue has produced notable steps and experiments. Among thèse are thejunior collège idea, the integrated first year, the orientation period, the gênerai survey courses, gênerai éducation courses rooted in the larger dimensions of aparticular subject matter, the emphasis on discussionand on the understanding of classical materials, theconception of required training in the major human-istic and scientific disciplines, the effort to coordinateor unify the last two years of high school work withthe first two years of collège and to join specializedtraining with graduate work, early admission, acceler-ated programs, the séparation of examinations fromcourse crédits, and the development of tutorial studies.In the last few years the Collège has been among theleading universities developing out of the intellectualresources of the University undergraduate courses inthe study of non-western areas.The vitality of the Collège has been derived lessfrom set programs than from the vigor of both debateand development. Its educational philosophy has notbeen frozen. Not ail of the changes hâve been permanent; nor were they intended to be, despite the vigorwith which they were developed and the convictionwhich they necessarily represented. Since the University as a whole is characterized by lively interactionamong its ruling bodies and its disciplines, it is notsurprising that the Collège, which in itself has a particular mission to unify, should not be insulated fromthe strains and influences of various aspects of university life.Protective barriers, however important, hâve beenhard to maintain and where maintained too long hâvebeen self-defeating. The protection which the University has always given to expérimental programs isdifférent from a separatism which would reflect a lackof involvement and a lack of concern on the part ofthe institution as a whole. That kind of separatismwould be contrary to the spirit of unifying purposeand community which has characterized our institution.Undergraduate éducation is then a matter of vital concern for the entire University. But there are manyproblems to be faced.Chief among thèse problems is the appropriât^relationship between gênerai and specialized educa*tion and the relevance of each to libéral éducation,The collèges hâve a mission to train citizens, and citi-zens in some sensé are gêner alists. The collèges hâve amission to carry forward through their students amastery of our culture and, increasingly, an unde%standing of other societies and their traditions. Morethan the récognition of relevant areas of subject mat-ter is involved. Because the students will be the citizens and the protectors and interpreters of our valuesand society, collèges cannot be indiffèrent to the stu-dent's récognition of value structures, his appréciationof the works of the mind, his grasp of the richness oflife, his discerning intelligence, his compassion, indeedhis character.This combined emphasis on citizenship, on thecultural values and on the growth of the individualstudent has directed the content of gênerai éducationto an examination of the great works and thèmes ofour past and to instruction in the arts necessary forcomprehending the structures of human reasoning.For many reasons, and in part because of the natureof the thèmes involved, there has been a tendencyto equate gênerai éducation and training for citizenship and individual growth with work in the humani-ties alone. The curriculum of our Collège protestssuch a conclusion. But the growth in knowledge, ingraduate study, and in the prerequisites for graduatestudy has kept alive a question as to the basic différence between knowledge treated in a professionalor specialized manner and knowledge approached asgênerai or libéral éducation.Because of the spécial problems posed by undergraduate éducation, the Collège has sometimes beenthought to test the désire of the University to besomething more than a research institute and theproducer of scholars. But the problems of libéral éducation, the inter-relationships of knowledge, and thenature of specialized work exist at many levels withina université A Collège which provides a forum forthe discussion of evolving théories which encompassand point the way to new knowledge and restatefundamental thèmes adds greatly to the life of theUniversity and to the reality of the community. More-over, it is through the Collège that the Universitymay well exercise its greatest influence upon futureteachers and scholars and their students in collègesand universities throughout our country.At the présent time the Collège approaches theproblem of gênerai éducation with ten basic courses(and some alternative modifications) to be taken bythe student within a period of time which permitsonly eight courses. Thèse courses are a current ver-4 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE DECEMBER, 1964sion of a pioneering effort to restate ideas in thehumanities, social sciences and natural sciences, tointerpret institutions and thought within a culture,to provide training in the arts of reading, writing,speaking and mathematics, and to give a certainamount of instruction in a foreign language.Placement examinations taken by ail students makeit possible for the requirement of ten courses to bereduced to eight because the students hâve "placedout", hâve corne within a reasonable distance of doingso, or hâve had the requirements mitigated. The student who has not "placed out" of more than twocourses thus has in effect two years of gênerai éducation work. While thèse gênerai éducation coursesneed not ail be taken in the first two years, the pro-gram reflects a kind of division of the four years intoa gênerai éducation period followed by specializeddepartmental courses.I realize that it is not entirely correct to speak ofthe last two years in this f ashion. To do so is to neglectsuch important developments as General Studies inthe Humanities, Tutorial Studies, Spécial Honors,General Studies in the Social Sciences, Advanced Undergraduate Research in the Biological Sciences, anda somewhat similar program in the Physical Sciences.It neglects also to some extent the expanded influenceand jurisdiction of the Collège and the collaborationamong the Collège, the departments, and the divisions.The basic gênerai éducation courses are staff -taughtand hâve been worked out by them. They are not,as has sometimes been suggested, unchangeable. Theyare subject to change and hâve changed. For example,three variants are offered for a portion of the BiologySéquence. An experiment is now taking place to relatethe English composition course with the student's expérience in the gênerai Humanities course. The SocialSciences gênerai courses hâve been substantially re-organized, and a whole séries of non-western civiliza-tion courses has been introduced. To a considérableextent the courses are interdisciplinary and they relyheavily on discussion. Where appropriate, they arebuilt around original writings, frequently in translation, rather than on text books. They represent whathas corne to be regarded as the Chicago tradition.In the course of examining the présent Collège program, I hâve heard discussions on it by most of themembers of the Collège faculty; and I hâve talkedwith many of the Collège students. In gênerai thestudents are proud of the gênerai éducation courses.They regard them as Chicago's unique contributionto libéral éducation. Praise of the gênerai éducationcourses is mixed, as one would expect, with spécifiecriticisms, on which there is less agreement, on theconduct of spécifie courses or sections. The point wasfrequently made that discussion groups of approxi-mately twenty-five students are no longer regarded by students as small group discussions; there is a désirefor more individual and tutorial work.There is pride in the fact that most instruction isin the hands of full-time members of the faculty andhas not usually been given by graduate students. Onthe other hand in those limited areas where graduatestudents hâve been used, the students hâve sometimescommented favorably. To some extent, I assume thereactions of the students were based upon what theyhâve been told and their désire to identify Chicago'suniqueness. There is a certain antipathy to the ideaof large lecture courses as not being Chicago's way5and because being talked at is not as good as discussion or reading for one's self.There seems to be gênerai agreement that the requirement of some work in common for ail studentsin the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences is highly désirable. With notable exceptionsthere was less satisfaction expressed with the morespecialized work of the last two years; there was lessenthusiasm and pride in their accomplishments in thisarea of work than might hâve been expected.The appropriate staffing of the gênerai éducationcourses présents very real difficulties for the Collègeand for the University. The demands made by manyof thèse courses upon the instructors are heavy. Tosome extent they are interdisciplinary and require amultidisciplinary background. It has been importantto the Collège to hâve the same instructor lead thestudents in his section through ail phases of the courseséquence. There are obvious advantages to this, butit increases the burden. The work of the gênerai éducation courses poses difficulties, although there aresome countervailing advantages for the teacher whonaturally wishes to contribute as a scholar to theknowledge and uïiderstanding of a particular area.Thèse are not new problems, but they are not lessserious on that account. It is a matter of concern tothe Collège and to the University that the quality ofthe University's faculty, which is its pride, be main-tained through appointments to the Collège. This isnot to suggest that this has not been the case but tosuggest, as the compétition for faculty increases, andperhaps as multidisciplinary backgrounds become lessfréquent, that some spécial inventive measures maybe required. Until thèse hâve been tried, it is not clearwhether the présent form of the gênerai éducationcourses can be maintained. Surely the attempt isworthwhile.The relationship of Collège and departmental appointments has complicated the situation. The originalmémorandum from Président Hutchins to the University Senate on the reorganized Collège provideothat "each member of the Collège faculty would bea member of some other division." There were changesin that policy. In the last three years, however, there6 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE DECEMBER, 1964**&» \ ¥DECEMBER, 1964 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE8 THE UNIVERSITY has been a renewed attempt to encourage joint ap.pointments. In 1963 there were 107 appointments inthe Collège only, and 72 on joint appointment; in 1964,77 appointments in the Collège only, and 102 on jointappointment. Because of the scope and orientationof the Collège, which is more akin to the divisionsthan to the departments, it is understandable that insome circumstances a particular departmental appointment might nofbe most appropriate. For such cases,divisional appointments would be helpful. It is notsuggested that ail Collège appointments need be joint,The last two years of the undergraduate programsuffer from the lack of effective responsibility for thecurriculum and its implementation. Departments varygreatly in their assumption of responsibility for undergraduate instruction. The movement in the last fewyears has been toward greater responsibility. The Collège, however, largely because of its structure and thesize and heterogeneity of its faculty, has not been ina position to program as effectively as would be de-sired for the entire undergraduate curriculum, andno other faculty has been in a position to do so.Yet a view of that curriculum as a whole is désirableif specialized courses at the undergraduate level areto perform best their function of libéral éducation.The problem seems to be mainly one of organizationalstructure rather than a reflection of fundamental différence in educational philosophy. There are somefears that specialized courses will be only prerequisitesfor graduate work or that on the contrary they will bedeveloped so as to completely fail in that function.There is gênerai récognition that the more specializedcourses, just as much as the gênerai educational séquences, should be directed toward the undergradu-ate's intellectual development and that in connectionwith the mastery of a given field of knowledge,whether in or outside the student's ultimate area ofspecialization, the student can be led to a better under-standing of the ways of thought and of the limits andinterrelationships among various disciplines.Under présent circumstances the séparation, to theextent it exists, of the Collège into two divisions hashad a tendency to limit faculty involvement in experi-ments which, without diminishing the College's central concern for the organization of subject matter,would reflect the strengths and interests of the facultyand of the students. It has tended also to remove fromfaculty discussion those issues previously determinedbut which must be thought through again as part ofany on-going educational program. This séparationhas arisen because of the University's extraordinaryefforts to solve the problems of the appropriate rela-tionships between gênerai and specialized éducationand the relevance of each to libéral éducation. Butthe continuation of this séparation now impedes discussion. The University's work in libéral éducationOF CHICAGO MAGAZINE DECEMBER, 1964vvould be strengthened if the undergraduate curriculum could be regarded as a whole.Whatever the advantages, the splitting of facultyjuto those teaching the gênerai éducation courses,those who instruct in the last two years of the undergraduate program, and those who lead research at thegraduate level, has unfortunate conséquences. TheUniversity's faculty is marked generally by the free-dom of choice given to it. There has been less freedomfor the Collège teacher and fewer opportunities. Formost, participation solely in the gênerai éducationcourses over a long period of time has not been thebest basis for continued intellectual growth.Granted that some différence in emphasis may besought in the gênerai éducation courses, too markeda séparation in staffs from specialized and graduateinstruction removes thèse faculties and their coursesfrom the mainstream of the University's thought andpower. If there is a spécial justification for an undergraduate collège within a university such as Chicago,it is because the strength of the University throughits faculties will be brought to bear on undergraduateprograms and instruction and the broadening influenceof the Collège program in turn will hâve a coordinat-ing and continuing influence upon graduate work.Indeed the strength of Chicago's présent gênerai édu cation courses reflects the work of many divisionalfaculty members at a crucial earlier period.The question, of course, is whether greater opportunities for specialized work on the part of the Collègefaculty and greater participation in Collège instructionfrom divisional faculty can be obtained only at thecost of making undergraduate éducation a secondaryand incidental part of the University or by modifyingthe libéral arts focus of the program. Greater facultyconcern and involvement with the Collège imposes aburden upon the faculty and not ail will or shouldbe interested. For thèse reasons the separate Collègeorganization with its own budget and dean representsan important commitment by the University. But theUniversity's interest in undergraduate libéral éducation should be deemed sufficiently strong to permitsomewhat greater flexibility and interchange.Optimistically there is reason to believe that at thisstage of the University's development there are manymembers of the University's faculties who would wel-come an opportunity to develop and implement programs at the undergraduate level. And this can bedone in such a way as to strengthen and not diminishthe independent integrity of thèse programs and theindependent integrity of the Collège.-";,W \N'.¦:'h.DECEMBER, 1964 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 9Committee on CitationsAsks Alumni SuggestionsSuggestions from the alumni as tocandidates for the Alumni Medal andthe Alumni Citations will be welcomedby the Citations Committee, which heldits first meeting November 20 to beginthe process of sélection to be completedabout April 1, for awards to be madeat Reunion in June.The Committee, of nine anonymousmembers, is appointed by the présidentof the Alumni Association and reportsto the Cabinet, which has final authori-ty as to the awards. Ail correspondenceto the Committee should be sent toHarry Sholl, acting executive directorof the Association, who is the ex-officiosecretary of the Committee. Letters sug-gesting candidates should provide ascomplète information as possible aboutthe activities and careers of the indi-viduals offered for considération. TheCommittee, however, will undertake tosupplément the information when nec-essary.The Alumni Citations are awardedannually (there were 21 last June) inrécognition of voluntary service. Voca-tional or professional attainment, however meritorious, is not a criterion forthe Citation, which is granted for "use-ful citizenship". In practice, this standard becomes one of noteworthy contribution to society at the local, nationalor international level. A rough rule isthat generally the service is uncompen-sated; another is that a brief record ofcontribution is not adéquate, thoughconversely, mère length of service isnot a qualification.The Alumni Medal recognizesachievement of truly exceptional naturein any vocational field, public or pri-vate. The Committee weighs the entirecareer of a prospective medalist, ratherthan conferring the honor for one single outstanding achievement. So exact-ing are the standards that, since theMedal and the Citations were institutedin 1941, only 48 medals hâve beenawarded, and 19 of thèse were givenin the first year to recognize achievement in the years prior to establishmentof the awards.Ail alumni (the Association defines an alumnus as anyone who attendedthe University for an académie yeafand received full académie crédit) areeligible for either the Citation or theMedal, with one exception: anyonewho attended the University withouttaking a degree, but did take one inanother institution, is not considered.1965 Charter Flightsto Europe for AlumniAnother opportunity for alumni togo to Europe this summer at low coston a first-class jet flight is being nego-tiated by the Alumni Association withStudent Government Charter Flightsthrough which the privilège was madeavailable last year. Alumni and theirfamilies, to a total of 49, who traveledon the flights in 1964 reported enthusi-astically about their satisfaction andsome intend to go again in 1965.At this time, three flights are in theplanning stage, with thèse tentativeschedules: June 16, returning Septem-ber 22; June 28, returning September6; August 10, returning September 6.The flights, from Chicago to London,and return, probably from Paris toChicago, are made with regularly sched-uled lines; the carrier last year wasTrans-Canada, and in a previoius year,B.O.A.C. Fare for the round trip lastyear was $270, including meals andcomplimentary bar. The contract is forair travel only; schedules and réservations in Europe are the individual'sresponsibility.The Association, other than makingthe arrangement for alumni eligibility,is not in charge of the charter flights.For further information, interestedalumni should write Student Government Charter Flights, 1212 E. 59thStreet, Chicago, Illinois 60637.Alumni who wish to take advantageof the ofïer should note that CivilAeronautics Board régulations requirethat anyone participating in a charterflight sponsored by a group must be amember of the organization at leastsix months prior to departure date.Membership in the Alumni Association must theref ore be in force by Janu-ary 1, 1965.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE DECEMBER, 1964E vents Available To Chicago Area AlumniMass Culture is Topicof Emeriti SymposiumMembers of The Emeritus Clubheard and participated in a wide varietyof discussions of the gênerai subject of"Culture in a Mass Society" over theweekend of October 30 in the Centerfor Continuing Education.Robert E.

HauserThe public school crisis is not unique to Chicago.It is manifest in virtually every city in the UnitedStates. A long time in the making, it threatens to beof long duration. This crisis is compounded of a num-ber of éléments, the most of acute being that generatedby the flood of internai migrants to metropolitan cen-ters during the war and since. Between 1950 and 1960,migration from non-metropolitan to metropolitan areastotaled about five and one-half million persons, ofwhom three and one-third million came from StateEconomie Areas ( combinations of counties) with lessthan 25 percent urban population and an additionaltwo and one-tenth million from Areas having from25 to 50 percent urban population.The Chicago-Northwestern Indiana Area had a netin-migration of 316,000 persons in the last décade, ontop of a net of 197,000 between 1940-50. The problems generated for the public schools are greater thanindicated by thèse numbers alone, for the in-migrantswere predominantly Negro, many of whom were ill-prepared for urban living. And with the coming ofthe migrants there was an outward movement, largelyinto surburbia, by the long-term résident white. Thus,the white population of Chicago decreased by about14,000 between 1940 and 1950 while the non-whitepopulation increased by 227,000; in the next décade,the white population decreased by 400,000 and non-whites increased by 329,000. This was a pattern ofchange experienced, by and large, by ail large cities.Another of the éléments of the school crisis alsowas a population factor, the post-war baby boom,which inundated the elementary school System in the50's and is now producing a bulge in enrollments inthe secondary schools. Other factors are an antiquatedstructure for the détermination of policy and the administration of the school System, inherited patternsof public school organization, procédures and curriculawhich hâve failed to keep up with the rapid tech-nological, social and cultural change in the metropolitan United States, and conflicting interests andattitudes on the part of diverse population groups,exacerbated by emotionalism generated by parents'tension about their children.The most acute disaffection with the Chicago Public School System is to be found in the Negro community, which has made integrated éducation andimprovement in the quality of éducation for Negrochildren the major civil rights issue in the City. Asa resuit of an out-of-court settlement of a suit allegingde facto ségrégation filed in the fédéral courts, Webbversus The Board of Education of the City of Chicago,an Advisory Panel of five members was created byresolution of the Chicago Board of Education on Au-gust 28, 1963.The membership of the panel was agreed uponjointly by the Board and the attorney for the plaintiffs, Mr. Paul Zuber. The panel included, in addition tothe writer, who served as chairman, Sterling M. Mc-Murrin, professor of philosophy, University of Utahand former United States Commissioner of Education;James M. Nabrit, Jr., président, Howard University;Mr. Lester Nelson, former principal of Scarsdale(N.Y.) High School, and retired Associate ProgramDirector of the Education Division of the Ford Foundation; and William R. Odell, professor of éducation,Stanford University. Robert Crain, assistant professorof sociology at The University of Chicago, was ap-pointed Study Director.The function of the Panel was not to review theentire spectrum of problems that beset the publicschools, but to focus on the problem of segregatedschooling and its conséquences. It was under instructions"to analyze and study the school System, in particular regard to schools attended entirely or pre-dominately by Negroes, define any problems thatresuit therefrom, and formulate and report to thisBoârd as soon as may be conveniently possiblea plan by which any educational, psychologicaland emotional problems or inequities in the schoolSystem that prevail may best be eliminated . . ."In undertaking its task, the Panel was aware of thegênerai background and considérations applying toits inquiry. The Negro had lived two and one-halfcenturies in the United States in slavery, and for thelast century as a segregated, subcultural group con-centrated largely in the rural South. In the short spanof fifty years, this group had been transformed from73 percent rural in 1910 to 73 percent urban in 1960.Drawn out of a predominately folk culture, the Negrocoming to urbanism has lived in de facto ségrégationdifférent from the voluntary enclaves in which manywhite ethnie groups hâve clustered in that the Negrodid not hâve the freedom of choice of thèse whitegroups.De facto ségrégation in the Chicago public schoolswas not, therefore, produced by the current Board ofEducation, but was a product of historié patterns ofsettlement— together with the prevalence of the neigh-borhood school policy. Démographie and social trendsare, however, intensifying the problem of this ségrégation because they imply continued growth of theNegro population in the City and the continuedexodus of the white population. Obviously, desegrega-tion of the schools cannot be effected without whitestudents.The Panel had three key premises in proceedingwith its task: integrated public schools are requiredby law; integrated éducation is morally necessary; integrated éducation is educationally désirable.The Suprême Court décision in the Brown Caseof 1954, although definitely outlawing de jure segre-DECEMBER, 1964 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 13grated schooling of the type found in the South, wasnot entirely applicable to the problem of de factosegregated schooling in the North. There is still tobe a Suprême Court ruling definitely barring segregated schooling, Northern style. In the State of Illinois, however, the Armstrong Bill passed in 1963places ail Illinois school boards under a législativemandate to administer the school in such a manneras to promote intégration.The moral obligation to desegregate the schools isquite clear. Apart from standards of equality, fairnessand decency which presumably permeate Americanlife, it is a clear religious obligation to ail those whoprofess the Judaeo-Christian faith, for the fatherhoodof God implies the brotherhood of man. There isalso a moral obligation of more than a century'sduration by reason of the Emancipation Proclamation,The people of the United States hâve, in effect,promised the Negro equality before the law and inopportunity, and they hâve not delivered on theirpromise.Finally, the Advisory Panel proceeded on the premisethat the desegregation of schools is educationally désirable. Education consists of more than the transmission of the skills of reading, writing, and arithmetic.It presumably involves préparation for future life. Tostate the problem in an unusual way, the white childbeing educated in a lily-white school is actually educationally deprived. He is not being adequately pre-pared for life in the real world in which Caucasiansare a minority group; nor for life in many of the cities of the United States, as well as Chicago, fft'whichNegroes already make up over a fourth of the population and in which they may be as much as half ormore of the population within the next few décades.Segregated éducation means educational deprivationeven more for the Negro child because the évidenceindicates that segregated éducation for the Negro isalso inferior éducation.The Advisory Panel found that 90 percent of Negrostudents in the elementary schools of Chicago werein all-Negro schools or schools which contained lessthan 10 per cent white, and vice versa. Of ail Negrostudents in Chicago public schools at ail grade levelsone through twelve (minus students in spécial éducation) 84 percent were in Negro schools (all-Negroor less than 10 percent white); 86 percent of ail whitestudents were in white schools (all-white or less than10 percent Negro). The facts make it quite clear thatChicago Public Schools are highly segregated in fact.The facts also made it quite clear that teachersand other staff in the Chicago Public Schools werehighly segregated. Ironically, there are no readilyavailable data on this matter because of provisionsin law designed to protect the minority races whichprevent the collection and compilation of statistics onthe race of the school staff. Data made available bythe Chicago Commission on Human Relations basedon a survey in the fall of 1963, however, indicated14 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE DECEMBER, 1964that 71 percent of Negro high school teachers werejn ten high schools in Chicago having 90 percent orjnore Negro students. Similarly, 62 percent of the whiteteachers were in schools with 90 percent or morewhite students.Certain definite conclusions could be made fromthe available information as to the différence in qual-jty of éducation between the all-Negro and all-whiteschools. The Negro schools were much more over-crowded, with a much larger number of students peravailable classroom. Negro schools hâve a larger per-centage of temporarily certificated teachers, a muchsmaller percentage of teachers with five or more yearsexpérience, with Master's degrees, and the combina-tion of the Master's with five or more years of expérience.The Negro schools hâve a higher drop-out rate thanthe white, a much higher degree of student mobilityor rransiency and somewhat lower level of school at-tendance. There is little indicated différence in highschool programs available to white and Negro students. Per capita expenditures for other than instruc-tional purposes were higher in Negro than in whiteelementary schools because of higher turnover, andlower in Negro than in white high schools.Perhaps the most significant of the findings of theAdvisory Panel concerned student mental ability andachievement. Within the white schools, as well as theNegro schools, both mental ability, as measured byverbal tests, and achievement were positively cor-related with the social-economic status of the neigh-borhoods in which the schools were located. This was,of course, in accordance with expectation for mentalability as well as achievement tests because tests ofmental ability measure not only innate capacity but,also, cultural background.An analysis of the relationship between the mentaltest scores and achievement tests indicated that students in predominantly Negro schools did fully as wellas those in predominantly white schools or in integrated schools. The results indicate that Negro students profit from instruction as much as white groups,and that intensified educational opportunity for Negrochildren could resuit in a major closing in the achievement gap between the groups.The Panel's recommendations may be consideredunder four headings: ( 1 ) Those relating to intégration;(2) those relating to improved quality of éducation;(3) those relating to improved public school-commun-ity relationships, and (4) those relating to meetingthe costs.The key recommendation relating to intégration isthat involving "student open enrollment patterns."The recommendation on intégration was quite mode-rate and may be regarded as a compromise betweencompulsory intégration (such as represented by the Princeton plan) and completely permissive programswhich leave the problem of intégration entirely in thehands of parents (such as represented by the permissive transfer plan recently put into effect in the Chicago schools).What the panel proposed was a grouping of schoolsin what might be regarded as an enlarged school enrollment area or neighborhood, with two or more elementary schools and three or more high schoolsconsidered as a cluster. Parents in this enlarged enrollment area would be free to enroll their children inany one of the schools. Should a given school be over-enrolled the children would be allocated on the basisof three criteria: to effect intégration; to promote educational advantage of the child; and to minimizedistance from the child's place of résidence. No priorityorder was assigned to the criteria in the belief thatsituations would vary and that provision should beleft for flexible school administration. Complète openDECEMBER, 1964 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 13enrollment on a city-wide basis was recommended forvocational high schools and ail spécial schools.It was further recommended, as is indeed requiredby Illinois law, that schools be so located and schoolboundaries be so adjusted as to promote intégration.Also recommended, to effect optimal utilization ofspace, was the free transport of students from over-crowded to under-utilized schools when distanceswere in excess of one mile. It was contemplated thatfree transport would involve a relatively small numberof pupils and that the cost of the transport shouldbe assumed by the public because the transfer wouldbe for the convenience of the Board.As a supplément to this proposai to effect optimumutilization of space, a libéral transfer plan was recommended permitting the transfer of any child from anovercrowded to an under-utilized school of his choice,provided that each transférée assumed the cost of hisown transportation. Finally, it was proposed that theuse of mobile classrooms should be continued as ameans of relieving temporary overcrowding.Recommendations also were made for the intégration of faculty, for the équitable assignment of teachers, and for the improvement of teacher éducation,prior to certification and in in-service training, to prépare them for work in difficult schools with highstudent turnover, heavy retardation and limited educational achievement.A number of recommendations were made to im-prove the quality of éducation, with focus on theimportance of improving achievement in basic skills,improving learning resources and expanding guidanceand counselling services. The major recommendationto improve the quality of éducation, however, was inthe form of proposais for a "saturation" program.There were fourteen such proposais, but it was em-phasized that this list was not necessarily exhaustive,Thèse proposais ranged from the upgraded primaryschool, the pre-school program, orientation, réceptionand placement centers for children new to the community and urban living and after school study centers through internships for teachers in training, ayear around school program, employment of schoolaids and other non-professional personnel and con-tinuing éducation, including literacy programs, forparents and out-of-school youth.Recommendations with respect to school-communitycommunication were especially relevant in the Chicago situation because of the exceptionally bad publicrelations between the school administration and alarge proportion of the public. A proposai was madefor the appointment of a bi-racial "friends of theChicago schools" committee to perform the two-wayfunction of improving communication from the Boardto the public and from the public to the Board. Thiscommittee would perform a major service in paving16 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE DECEMBER, 1964the way for innovations and, specifically, in helpingt0 prépare neighborhoods for changes which requiredadjustment of public attitudes and practices.An internai committee within the school administration, with représentatives from ail staff levels ofthe System, was recommended to develop programsto implement the recommendations of the Panel asapproved by the Board. Finally, it was recommendedthat the Board should regularly publish a variety ofstatistical information to be distributed over a widerange of public and private agencies. For some yearsthere has been considérable adverse reaction by manyéléments of the public because of the unavailabilityof basic data about the Chicago Public School System,such as that on class size, vacant seats, unutilized class-rooms, achievement test performance and the like.The Advisory Panel was well aware that its recommendations would involve greatly increased expendi-tures for the schools. It recommended "that every effort be made to obtain the additional funds that thePanel's proposais require— both within the city andnecessarily from the state and fédéral governments."The Advisory Panel pointed out that in the better-offsuburbs of Chicago, per capita expenditures in thepublic schools were twice the level of that for thechild in the central city. And this despite the factthat the child in the central city, compared with hissuburban counterpart, is often at a disadvantage because of the relatively low éducation of his parentsand the deficiencies of home resources for éducation.In summary, it was the position of the Panel thatChicago and other cities could not afford not to in-crease the costs for public éducation. In Cook Countyalone, for example, 186 million dollars a year is required for welfare récipients, a prédominant proportion of whom, by reason of deficiency in éducation andskill, are not able to make their own living.In Chicago, as in other cities, there are now children of in-migrants, born and educated in Chicago,who still hâve not achieved levels of literacy and skilladéquate to make their own way in contemporarysociety. In addition to welfare costs, taxpayers areburdened with the other costs of unemployment andthe costs of delinquency and crime and high morbidityand mortality which disproportionately involve the un-educated and unskilled.At this writing, some six months hâve elapsed sincethe Advisory Panel submitted its report on March 31,1964. Although the Board of Education unanimouslyapproved the recommendations of the Panel within aperiod of ten days, progress toward implementationhas been slow, and this despite the fact that at theoutset there appeared to be strong gênerai publicsupport for the recommendations, including favorableeditorial positions in ail of Chicago's newspapers.The Board has instructed the General Superinten- dent to proceed with the establishment of some expérimental clusters of schools, elementary and sec-ondary. It was announced that implementation of thisaction was not likely to occur before the spring semes-ter. The Board also approved proposais made by theGeneral Superintendent to improve the quality of éducation along the lines recommended by the Panel.More recently, a member of the Board has recommended that there be added to the resolution favoringintégration a statement of principle affirming maintenance of intégration in schools where it now has beenachieved. This means a positive policy to stabilizethe school situation so as to prevent some schoolsfrom going overwhelmingly Negro instead of main-taining a stable measure of intégration.There also are indications that the Board intends tomake an effort to obtain fédéral funds to improve thequality of éducation. Conceivably and justifiably, thiswould be through broadening the Anti-Poverty Act;it is impossible to talk of eliminating poverty withoutproviding the money required for adéquate éducationof the culturally deprived. Recourse to the fédéralgovernment is inescapable; the cities do not hâve themoney and the state governments are basically ignor-ing the cities' needs.It is an understatement to say that the GeneralSuperintendent of Schools, Dr. Benjamin C. Willis,has displayed no great enthusiam for implementingthe Advisory Panel report and, particularly, those recommendations relating to school desegregation. More-over, it is possible that the objections of white parentsto school intégration received more than usual attention during this presidential élection year.It is, however, an oversimplification to say that thèseare the only forces that account for the Board's snail-like pace in implementing the Advisory Panel report.The problem is admittedly a complex one even underthe best of conditions. Given the antiquated structureof the Board of Education and its relation to theGeneral Superintendent of Schools, to the Mayor, andto other city agencies and to the political process ingênerai, the problem becomes well nigh insoluble.Yet the school crisis must be resolved, for the futureof Chicago, as of other cities, in the long run dépendsupon its solution.The Advisory Panel Report undoubtedly has beena f actor in relieving mounting tensions in the Negrocommunity. The Report was regarded as a great vie-tory by civil rights groups because it confirmed whatthey had been saying for years; and it undoubtedlycontributed to the relatively short, cool summer inChicago. And, of greater import in the long run, untilChicago finds a viable solution to the school crisis,a large proportion of her citizens and therefore of thecity are destined to hâve an uncertain and insecurefuture.DECEMBER, 1964 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 17News of theSEARLE CHEMISTRY GIFT— Re-alization of a new chemistry researchbuilding moved closer with the giftin October of $1,000,000 by the fam-ily of John Gideon Searle, who isprésident and chief executive officerof G. D. Searle & Company, Chicago-based ethical drug organization. Thebuilding, when constructed, will beatthe Searle name.The million dollars meets the match-ing requirement of a million from theNational Science Foundation; this $2,-000,000 represents approximately halfof the estimated cost of the new research laboratory. Présent plans are toconstruct the Searle laboratary on theeast side of Ellis Avenue, north of andadjoining George Herbert Jones Laboratory, which is adjacent to the southend of the Administration Building, at58th street.A new chemistry laboratory has beenan urgent priority item for many yearsbecause of lack of space for an ex-panding department and the specializedrequirements for contemporary chem-isty investigations. Kent Chemical Laboratory, given by the early Chicagoan,Sidney A. Kent, was dedicated January 1, 1894. In récent years, it hasbeen extensively modernized to provide excellent instructional facilities.The George Herbert Jones Laboratory,gift of another Chicagoan, dedicatedDecember 16, 1929, and a part of theInstitute for the Study of Metals, com-pleted after the last war, presentlyhouse research activities in chemistry.Such essentials to present-day investigation as dust- and vibration-freelaboratories and précise températurecontrol will be provided in the Searlebuilding.ARGONNE LABORATORY— Revision of the contract under whichArgonne National Laboratory is oper-ated has been approved by the AtomicEnergy Commission, the fédéral agencywith jurisdiction over the Laboratory.On recommendation of a committeerepresenting two groups of MiddleWestern universities, The Universityof Chicago and Argonne, a new not-18 THE Quadranglesfor-profit corporation to be organizedby the AEC, the universities and theThe University of Chicago, will détermine policies and research programsof the Laboratory.

Allen Wallis, président, Universityof Rochester, former dean of the Graduate School of Business; George Wells ¦Beadle, président, The University ofChicago; Alan Simpson, former deanof the Collège, at his inauguration asprésident of Vassar Collège, October16, 196420 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE DECEMBER, 1964BEGINNINGS OF THE LIBRARYBy Edward A. Henry, '07The second faculty appointmentPrésident William Rainey Harper madeto The University of Chicago he wasorganizing was that of Mrs. ZellaAllen Dixson, as assistant librarian, onJuly 29, 1891. The first — made on thesame day — was that of Frank FrostAbbott, as associate professor of Latinand University Examiner. The appointment of a librarian was urgent becausethe University was to open with a collection of almost 300,000 books, repre-senting the library of the Baptist UnionTheological Seminary, that of the OldUniversity of Chicago and the so-called"Berlin Collection" of about 175,000volumes.The library of the Seminary includedtwo important collections which hadbeen acquired through the effort ofDr. Harper when he was a memberof the Seminary' s faculty: the Heng-stenberg Collection and the AmericanBible Union Collection. Ernest Wil-helm Hengstenberg, a German, was aleading Old Testament scholar whodied in 1869, leaving a large libraryrelating to the Old Testament.The American Bible Union wasorganized about 1850 to edit and pub-lish a modem English version of theBible. It seems to hâve had practicallyunlimited funds, for it had the re-sources to acquire almost every translation of the Bible in English sinceTyndale. Many of thèse were rare atthe time and are almost priceless today.Also in the collection were many com-mentaries and books which would beof assistance to the editors. But in 1881there appeared in England a new translation of the New Testament, to befollowed in 1886 by that of the OldTestament. Considering its project an-ticipated, the Union disbanded and itsHbrary went to the Seminary.The Berlin Collection was the stockof one of Germany's largest second-hand book dealers, who had died about1890. Dr. Harper bought the collection, which was supposed to containcomplète files of most German schol- arly journals and thousands of otherscholarly works. When the collectionarrived, thousands of volumes wereselected from it and catalogued butmuch more than half of it remained instorage and unlisted until Harper Mémorial Library was completed.Just one story: one day I was work-ing in the basement while Dr. JamesWestfall Thompson was looking overthe shelves. Suddenly he let out awhoop. I ran over and found him holding up a large volume. ''Henry", heshouted, "this is a copy of the greatestmédiéval work on forestry. I neverdreamed that there was a copy inAmerica." I could tell other suchstories, but this incident illustrâtes theimportance of the collection.The first library was in a large one-story building erected in 1892 in whatis now Hutchinson Court. This structure also housed the University Pressand separate gymnasiums for men andwomen. When the Press Building wascompleted in the autumn of 1902, boththe library and the Press were movedinto it, the library remaining untilHarper Mémorial was completed. Butthis collection represented the GeneralLibrary and was only half of our story.When the University opened, Dr.Harper assigned funds to each Headof a department of instruction. Thismoney was used to buy such books aswere needed for instructional purposesand the books were kept in the departmental quarters. Purchases for the departments were made through an officerof the Press, who also did the buyingfor the General Library. But in thèseearlier days, the departmental booksnever went through the General Library and so there arose as many departmental libraries as there were departments of instruction. Gradually,however, the related departmental libraries were merged over the years.When I came to the University in1904 there was a sizeable modem lan-guage library on an upper floor ofCobb Hall. It consisted of the libraryof the English, German and Romancelanguages departments. The books hadno other marks than "ENG", "GER"and "ROM". On another floor was the Classics library, of Latin, Greek, Sanskrit and comparative linguistics. Stillanother floor held the philosophy-psy-chology books. Walker Muséum con-tained the merged libraries of geol-ogy, geography and anthropology.Zoology had a good biology libraryfor botany, zoology, anatomy and physiology. On the second floor of Ryer-son was a physics library, and on thefourth floor, the mathematics collection; Kent had the chemistry library.Sharing the library in the then quitenew Law School was a fairly largesocial sciences library, made up of themerged collections of économies, so-ciology, political science and otherdepartments, again each lot beingmarked only as "ECON", "SOC", etc.The Divinity School's library was onthe third floor of Haskell Hall.On August 4, 1906, the Divinity faculty asked me to take charge of theschool's library of some 10,000 volumes. It was not in very good condition. So I went to Mrs. Dixson andasked for her help in reorganizing it.She gave me generous assistance, butunder the System then prevailing, shehad no authority over me or over anyother departmental library.In 1910, Mrs. Dixson retired andDr. Ernest DeWitt Burton, head ofthe New Testament Department, wasnamed faculty director of Libraries.He planned and supervised the érection of Harper Mémorial Library,which was dedicated in June, 1912.Thereupon ail the departmental libraries in the humanities and socialsciences were merged with the GeneralLibrary in Harper, and finally the unlisted part of the Berlin Collection wasmoved from storage in Ellis Hall.With the opening of Harper, J. C.M. Hanson was appointed associate director of the University Libraries. Anexpert who had planned the Library ofCongress System of cataloguing andclassification, he undertook the classification of ail the book resources ofthe University. To him, more thanany other individual, belongs the créditfor today' s almost perfect System.DECEMBER, 1964 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 21The '68 Génération of Alumni FamiliesSeventy-four sons and daughters of alumniparents entered the Collège this autumn,sixty-seven as first-year students and sevenas undergraduate transfers.The Alumni Association held its annualréception for the alumni children (vétéransof two weeks of study), on October 15.The census of parents and students follows.FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS —Bein, Michael, Louisville, Kentucky, son of Mr. and Mrs. Morris Bein (Sara Lee Bloom, 738).Benolken, Anne, Nashotah, Wisconsin, daughter of Arthur Benolken, 743, and Mrs. Benolken (Marjorie Mattmiller,'44).Berman, Lawrence, Chicago, son of Mr. and Mrs. Irving S.
