If weare as energetic, daring, and responsible as ourpredecessors hâve been, we should be able to builda collège so good that thirty years from now ouralumni will be flooded with nostalgia for the gloriesof a past which is our immédiate future. Wayne BoothWAYNE CLAYSON BOOTHDean of the CollègeDean Booth and his wife, Phyllis,with their children, Katherine,Richard and Alison. Président Beadle announced on December 9th the appoint-ment of Wayne Clayson Booth as the new Dean of the Collège, a choice that has been enthusiastically received in ail quar-ters of the University. Wayne Booth, AM'47, PhD'50, is GeorgeM. Pullman Professor of English, a distinguished critic, a de-voted teacher, and a vigorous enemy of poor English.To his colleagues, Wayne Booth has long been known as anacademician of the flrst rank. His book, The Rhetoric of Fiction,published in 1961 by the U of C Press, brought him theChristian Gauss Award and immédiate critical acclaim, both athome and abroad. John Crowe Ransom, who believes it to be"an indispensable handbook of the art," says of Wayne Booth:"I do not imagine that there is another critic in* the field, eventhough there are now many brilliant critics ,there, who canhandle the complex of methods so easily and yet so subtly."Booth's essay, "Boring from Within: The Art of the FreshraanEssay," inaugurated a séries of Occasional Essays in the Hu-manities, and a condensed version appeared in the March, 1963,issue of the U of C Magazine. He has contributed to manylearned journals, and readers of the Carleton Miscellany areaware of Booth's constant and incisively good-humored war onineffective English in his regular column there.To the Hyde Park community, Wayne Booth is the busy headof a family of five, a man whose interests range widely throughthe académie, the scientific, and the cultural, and who yet con-tributes his time each week to a neighborhood project for theéducation of underprivileged children.His students admire him for sensitivity, good humor, deepunderstanding, and the wielding of a keen Socratic techniquewhich in modem éducation is still unsurpassed as a stimulant foreager participation and genuine learning— a sum of qualities notuncommonly found in great teachers, and great leaders as wellWayne Booth's dévotion to teaching and writing, as witli sim-ilarly dedicated men, has made him pause before assuminêWayne Booth has long been known as agreat teacher, devoted to the task of trans-mitting truth to those who must make itminister to human welfare. He possesses aswell the qualities of leadership and fore-sight that our Collège will require in anera in which the académie administratormust successfully meet the challenge ofwelding the contributions of teacher andresearcher. Président George Wells Beadleduties which may divert him from thèse activities. However,he is no stranger to administrative responsibilities : from 1953 to1962 he was Professor and Chairman of the Department ofEnglish at Earlham Collège; and last year he was Chairman ofthe English Composition staff in the U of C Collège. On hisacceptance of the post of Dean of the Collège, Booth com-mented: I would hâve said, a month ago, that no collègeadministrative post could tempt me. No one who loves teachingand writing takes on administrative duties lightly. But l dis-covered, when the invitation to become Dean of this Collègecame, that the appeal was far stronger than anything I hadknown before. My past expérience hère, beginning twenty-twoyears ago, has taught me a deep respect for the Collège as it is.To hâve some voice in determining what such a collège willbecome is an honor that I simply cannot resist.Booth was born in 1921 in the rural community of AmericanFork, Utah, near Sait Lake City. His parents were teachers andhe was reared as a Mormon. He received his AB in 1944 fromBrigham Young University, served two years in the Army, andthen came to the U of C, where he earned his AM in 1947and his PhD in 1950. He began his teaching career in 1950 atHaverford Collège, went to Earlham Collège in 1953, andretumed from there in 1962 to accept the newly-created PullmanProfessorship, which was established by the Trustées of theHarriett Pullman Schermerhorn Charitable Trust, in the memoryof Mrs. Schermerhorn's father, "to promote the effective use offhe English language."He was married in 1946 to the former Phyllis Barnes of SaitLake City and Long Beach, California. Mrs. Booth did herundergraduate work at Brigham Young University and at theU of C, where she is now working for her PhD with the Com-mittee on Human Development. Their three children— Katherine,16; Richard, 13; and Alison, 10— are enrolled in the Univer-Slty's Laboratory School, and the Booths live near the University,at 5411 S. Greenwood Ave., in Hyde Park.. . . a condensation ofPrésident George W. BeadWsaddress to the Senate on . . .The State of the UniversityIn three and two-thirds years, I feel I hâve learnedsomething about the University, even though far fromail. I suppose no one person can ever fully understandin détail any university with as much history, as manyfacets, and as great a range of interests as this one has.It and the community of which it is a part hâve aninsistent way of growing in one's affections. I hâveoften tried to analyze why. Certainly it is not becauseof the University 's orderly and systematic organization,or the efficiency of its administration and opération.Perhaps it is the very looseness of its organization thatis both its charm and a part of its strength. I hâve neverseen a university with so few rules and régulations, or,aside from Oxford and Cambridge, one in which solittle attention is paid to those it does hâve.I would not want to see major changes made in ourorganization or opérations without very careful study.We expect deans, departmental chairmen, directors of various académie and administrative units, and facul-ties to assume responsibilities commensurate with theauthority they enjoy by statute, or assume in practice.By and large thèse responsibilities are met; and whenthey are, the resuit can be the kind of community offree and able scholars that is our idéal. At the sametime, we must avoid too much intellectual and administrative fragmentation. In many matters, we must actas a single unit— the whole University— if we are toretain and add to our total strength.There are outside forces that tend to erode our freeand easy ways of doing things. I am sure you ail knowthat government agencies, which provide more andmore support for académie research and teaching,increasingly insist on more detailed records and reports,both financial and otherwise. Not ail foundations arebeyond temptation in thèse respects. As Fédéral andstate governments become more deeply committed to4 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE JANUARY, 1965académie support through research grants, fellowships,scholarships, and loan programs for students, and additions to or improvements in académie facilities inprivate universities, requests and demands for con-formity to policies and practices formulated outsideuniversities will no doubt increase. For example, wesee on the horizon the possibility of a National Hu-manities Foundation that will in some respects parallelthe National Science Foundation. To a certain extentwe can détermine the course of thèse developments.But to do so intelligently and effectively, we must beclear in our own minds as to what is désirable and good.Within our own institution, too, there is need forprocédures that are more systematic. For example, asnon-University housing facilities for faculty and students become more difficult to find, our former laissez-faire procédures require supplementation. We now hâvegreat difficulty in anticipating needs. Graduate studentsin some areas are not required or even requested tocommit themselves to acceptance of admission prior toarrivai on campus. Obviously, it is difficult or impossible to make adéquate housing arrangements if it isnot known how many students hâve been accepted andare committed to come.Compétition for quality students requires that we doa more systematic and effective job of recruitment,especially at the graduate levels. At présent we do thisin a very spotty way— very well in some schools anddepartments, and less well in others. In this connection,Professor James L. Cate has agreed to act as a kind ofadvisor and coordinator of fellowships in the four graduate divisions, so that the successful expériences ofsome departments may be shared by ail.There is soon to come before the Faculty Council areport on advanced degree requirements— académierésidence, registration, tuition, etc.— prepared by acommittee chaired by Chauncy D. Harris. If adoptedand implemented, this will, I believe, provide for anincrease in uniformity of policies and practices of adésirable kind.The FacultyWe ail know that no university can be stronger thanits faculty. William Rainey Harper not only recognizedthis more clearly than most university heads, but hedid something about it— dramatically and successfully.Provost Edward H. Levi understands this equally well,and, both as Dean of the Law School and as Provostfor the past twenty-eight months, he has emulatedHarper in persuading top scholars to join our faculties.It has been an inspiration to me to observe how hisrare combination of talents enables him to accomplishthis. First of ail, he has an amazing and uncompromis-ing sensé of what constitutes académie excellence. HisPersuasive talents are strengthened by his honesty indescribing both the strengths and the weaknesses ofthe University. I hâve personally experienced the skillJANUARY, 1965 THE UNIVERSITY OFwith which he présents the latter as challenges andopportunities. He combines tough-mindedness in judg-ing académie quality with a sensé of human under-standing that far transcends shallow sentimentality. Heis realistic about the importance of académie facilitiesand material needs of faculty members. Although wemuch prefer to emphasize académie excellence, I dopoint out that a récent report, based on A.A.U.P. records, puts the average académie salary at the Universityof Chicago among the top four académie institutionsin the nation— along with those of Harvard, Stanford,and California Institute of Technology.It is gratifying to report that the University is notonly maintaining the strength of the faculty but isadding to it. The record shows that through the recruit-ment efforts of divisions and schools, a total of ninety-nine new faculty members above the rank of instructorhâve accepted appointaient, and/or hâve arrived oncampus, in the past year. Twenty-eight were on a visit-ing basis. Of the remaining seventy-one, seventeen arefull professors, eight are associate professors, and forty-six are assistant professors. In addition— and no lessimportant— there were eighty-seven promotions fromwithin the University to associate or full professorships.As you know, another of the ways in which out-standing achievement and service of faculty membersare recognized is through appointment to spécialnamed professorships, or to distinguished service professorships.Dr. John R. Lindsay has been named Thomas D.Jones Professor of Surgery. Anthony Turkevich hasbeen appointed to the newly-created James FranckProfessorship in Chemistry.Herrlee G. Creel of the Department of OrientalLanguages and Civilizations as well as of History assumes the title Martin A. Ryerson Distinguished Service Professor. He joins George Williamson, who continues his work with the University as ProfessorEmeritus. Antoni Zygmund of the Department ofMathematics has been named Gustavus F. and AnnM. Swift Distinguished Service Professor, a professorship also held by Louis Gottschalk.The StudentsThere are many factors that détermine what collègesor universities able students elect to attend. In the longrun, faculty quality is the most signifîcant of thèse.This fall our total quadrangle students are up about260 over last year. Almost ail this increase in enroll-ment is in the graduate divisions and schools. But first-year students in the Collège are about 100 more thanlast year, while maintaining or even improving thevery high quality of the entering class.Tuition is estimated to total eleven million dollarsthis year, up two million over last year. A large fractionof this increase goes back to students in the form of in-creased financial aid. It is interesting to observe that6 THE UNIVERSITY OF when in 1963-64 tuition amounted to nine million dollars, students received approximately the same amountfrom fellowships and scholarships of ail sources andfrom University employment. In addition, loans to students amounted to another million, some of which issubject to forgiveness provisions of the National Défense Education Act.Married student housing, including that for internsand résidents, has been greatly expanded by remodel-ing of hôtels and apartment houses between Fifty-Firstand Fifty-Fourth Streets. There are now in ail sometwenty-eight buildings so used, housing more than1,070 student families. Many of thèse facilities are quiteattractive and ail are reasonably priced.The Boaed of TrustéesThe University has always had and still has an excep-tional Board of Trustées. Five new members hâve beenelected: Robert O. Anderson, Roswell, New Mexico;Ben W. Heineman and Ferd Kramer, Chicago; JamesL. Palmer, Lake Forest; and Ellmore C. Patterson,CHICAGO MAGAZINE JANUARY, 1965New York. Except for Mr. Heineman, ail are alumniof the University of Chicago.The AdministrationProfessor Francis S. Chase of the Graduate School ofEducation has requested that he be relieved of administrative duties so that he might dévote full time toscholarly work. During his ten years as Chairman ofthe Department and six years as Dean of the School,Professor Chase has led the School and Departmentto a top position in the nation, an achievement ofwhich we can ail be proud and for which we are indeedgrateful. Mr. Chase is succeeded as Dean of the Schooland Chairman of the Department by Professor Roald F.Campbell, in whom we hâve equal confidence.With Mr. Alan Simpson's résignation from the University to accept the Presidency of Vassar Collège,Provost Levi agreed to serve as Acting Dean of theCollège. {Professor Wayne C. Bootft has since beenappointée Dean of the Collège. —Ed.~\JANUARY, 1965 THE UNIVERSITY OF After Ray E. Brown decided he preferred the life ofa professor at Duke University to that of a Vice Président for Administration hère, we persuaded James J.Ritterskamp, Jr., to move from Illinois Institute ofTechnology to replace Mr. Brown.Richard F. O'Brien, formerly Director of Development at Stanford University where he played a key rôlein the campaign that added $113,000,000 to Stanford'sassets, has become Vice Président for Planning andDevelopment. Working in close collaboration with himwill be Charles U. Daly, recently appointed Vice Président for Public Affairs, who worked with Mr. O'Brienat Stanford and subsequently as Staff Assistant to thelate Président John F. Kennedy and then to PrésidentLyndon B. Johnson. Mr. Daly will be concerned withpublic and community relations, external communications including publications, alumni affairs, spécialconférence assignments, planning Seventy-Fifth Anni-versary activities, and related matters.Two new department chairmen hâve been appointed:Léonard Binder succeeding C. Herman Pritchett inpolitical science; and Arnold C. Harberger succeedingAlbert Rees in économies.Following the untimely death of Comptroller DonaldL. Cartland last June, Mr Arthur Lincicome, AssistantComptroller, has accepted the responsibility of actingfor the Comptroller.William Van Cleve has accepted a position with theUniversity-affiliated National Opinion Research Cen-ter. Mrs. Maxine L. Sullivan will assume his dutiesas Registrar.New DegreesRecognizing that the patterns of graduate éducationnow available in our universities and theological semi-naries do not provide idéal training for the practiceof the ministry, the faculty of our Divinity School,after long and, may I add, soul-searching study, hasdesigned and adopted two new graduate programs tomeet this need. The first is a seven-quarter programleading to the Master's Degree in Theology (MTh).The second, a four-and-a-third-year curriculum following a regular bachelor's degree, is recognized by thedegree of Doctor of Ministry (DMin). Thèse degreesdiffer from the usual Ma and PhD degrees in Divinityin that they are specifically designed for those whointend to enter the practice of ministry. The newDoctor of Ministry is analogous to the MD and JDdegrees in medicine and law.The curriculums leading to the two new degreeswill go into effect in the fall of 1965. They will parallelbut not replace the conventional MA and PhD programs which are designed primarily to train researchand teaching scholars in Divinity.The Collège proposai and the new curriculums ofthe Divinity School are but two examples of the resultsof the continued review of our educational programsCHICAGO MAGAZINE 7which is essential if the University is to maintain itstraditional position in higher éducation.The CampusOver a period of years there has been developed anover-all campus plan that provides for additional landfor académie purposes, rehabilitation and moderniza-tion of older buildings, and new construction needednow or in the near future.Campus expansion is provided in two directions. Thefirst is to the north and west and is provided throughthe acquisition of the four-block area bounded byFifty-Fifth and Fifty-Sixth Streets and by CottageGrove and Ellis Avenues. Much of this area has nowbeen purchased by the University and most of thebuildings hâve been demolished. The cost to the University of this area will be more than four milliondollars, exclusive of any new construction.The second direction of future development is tothe south— the so-called South Campus, which liesbetween Sixtieth and Sixty-First Streets, from CottageGrove Avenue to Stony Island Avenue. A large portionof this area was purchased by John D. Rockefellerduring the early years of the century and given to theUniversity specifically for campus expansion. SouthCampus is clearly not a new idea, and I remind youthat at the time it was first proposed, Woodlawn wasin large part a University community.South Campus is being acquired through urbanrenewal channels, with the concurrence of the Woodlawn community. New housing for families who willbe displaced will be provided along Cottage GroveAvenue south of Sixty-First Street. The cost to theUniversity of the new land in South Campus is esti-mated to be a million and a half dollars.Six University buildings are now under constructionor modernization. The School of Social Service Administration building at Sixtieth and Ellis Avenue and theSpace Science Laboratory at Fifty-Sixth and InglesideAvenue are close to completion, and the MidwayStudios at Sixtieth and Ingleside hâve been extensivelyremodeled and modernized. The Kelly-Green-Beecherdormitories are being reconstructed internally for theDepartment of Psychology, and the Sonia ShankmanOrthogenic School at Sixtieth and Dorchester Avenueis being remodeled and supplemented by the PhilipPekow building.The Silvain and Arma Wyler Children's Hospital isunder construction north of the Lying-In unit of theMédical Center. It will be among the largest and mostmodem of its kind in the world. It is being built at acost of $7,800,000.The total cost of the six buildings just mentioned isapproximately thirteen million dollars.8 THE UNIVERSITY OF Plans are under way or completed for seven additional buildings estimated to cost thirty-one milliondollars, of which ten million are in hand. They areCentral Animal Facilities of the Médical Center; theChemistry, Geophysics, and High Energy Physics Laboratories of the Science Center; the reconstruction ofCobb Hall; the Music Center in Hutchinson Commons;and the General Library.Scheduled for future planning and construction arethe following: additional dormitories; an enlargedstudent center; a new bookstore; a research laboratoryfor non-clinical biology; a science library; and a sur-gical wing and other additions to the Science Center.The National Opinion Research Center, afBliatedwith the University, will soon begin construction of anew building south of the new Social Service Administration building on Ellis Avenue.There are plans for a large, seventeen-million-dollarVétérans Administration Hospital to be built facing theMidway between Cottage Grove and Drexel Avenues.The possibility of a campus mémorial to the birth ofthe nuclear âge is being explored. [In connection withthe nuclear mémorial, Secretary of the Interior StewartUdall announced on December 2, 1964, the désignation of the Stagg Field site as a Registered NationalHistoric Landmark—Ed.^Financial MattersTrustées, faculty committees, the administration, andalumni are ail involved in the business of finding theresources the University will need in the comingdécade. Trustée Committees and the Office of Planningand Development hâve spécifie assignments in thisconnection.Trustée Ferd Kramer was chairman of last year'sAlumni Fund and will again serve in that capacity forthe current year. He has been remarkably successfulin increasing both the interest and the financial support of alumni.Over a period of many years, corporate support ofUniversity activities has become increasingly signifi-cant. During 1963-64 grants to the University totaledmore than two million dollars, an increase of 53 %over the previous year. The Corporate Support Com-mittee, headed by Trustée Robert S. Ingersoll, andmade up of other Trustées and business leaders, hashad an important part in bringing about this remark-able and gratifying increase.Argonne National LaboratoryWith the growth and increasing use of large, spe-cialized research facilities, many located in govern-ment-owned laboratories, the importance of how suchCHICAGO MAGAZINE JANUARY, 1965facilities are operated and used is being increasinglyrecognized. The Argonne National Laboratory is anexample. From its beginning after the war eighteenyears ago it has been operated by the University ofChicago under a contract with the Atomic EnergyCommission. In the early years, much of the work wasa continuation of that phase of the atomic bomb projectlocated on the University of Chicago campus knownas the Metallurgical Project. Today most of it isconcerned with the peaceful uses of nuclear energy-nuclear power reactors, particle physics, nuclearchemistry, radiation biology, and related basic andapplied work.Because large, specialized instruments costing millions of dollars hâve been developed and built at theLaboratory, the need to make thèse available to awider scientific community has increased. The ZéroGradient Synchrotron (a proton accelerator) and theArgonne Advanced High-Flux Research Reactor aretwo examples of such facilities. Maximum use of suchinstruments by scientists is clearly in the long-terminterest of science and society. How to provide for thistherefore becomes important, and we are in the processof working out a new formula with the Atomic EnergyCommission and sister Midwest universities.Briefly summarized, it involves a tripartite contractinvolving the Atomic Energy Commission, a new not-for-profit Corporation of Midwest Universities, and theUniversity of Chicago. This will provide for détermination of programs and policies of the Laboratory by theCorporation, which, incidentally, will include the University of Chicago as operator.The problem is to work out a contract that will provide for a clear définition of the responsibility andauthority to be assumed by the three parties to theagreement, and in a manner such that scientific pro-gram and policy détermination will be shared by manyinstitutions, and responsibility and authority for opération will be sharply focused in a single university. Auseful analogy may be that of the assignment of theseparate rôles of policymaking and of operational responsibilities to the législative and executive branchesof the Fédéral Government.If successful, the plan we are working on may wellserve as a useful pattern for the opération and use ofother f aciilties so large that only governments hâve theflnancjal resources to build and operate them. Thereare now many such, and there will be more, forexample, particle accelerators, light and radio observa-tories, giant computer centers serving large geographi-cal areas, earth satellite laboratories, planetary probesby space vehicles, million-volt électron microscopes,nuclear reactors, and others not yet dreamed of. ?JANUARY, 1965 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 9the New Frank Lloyd Wright wingof the Impérial Hôtel in TokyoTokyo Alumni DinnerProfessor Hans J. Morgenthau returned from a récent trip to Japon with news of a pleasant eveningspent in the society of alumni and friends. Theoccasion was a dinner at Frank Lloyd Wright'sImpérial Hôtel in Tokyo, sponsored by the TokyoChapter of the Alumni Association. The dinner wasorganized by Jiuji G.

Morgenthau,and Martin Ferrera, Brazilian Consul-GeneralJANUARY, 1965 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 11"I am convinced the proposed plan can do much tostrengthen the Collège, especially in bringing to theCollège a greater share of the académie strength ofthe University as a whole. I hope it will be adopted."— Président George W. Beadle"As I understand Mr. Levi's mémorandum to theFaculty, it is a plan for rearranging faculty structuresso as to increase the efficiency with which curriculardécisions can be made and to channel the énergies andideas of the whole University faculty ( i.e., of those whoare interested) into the educational work of the Collège. It does not guarantee— no plan could— that thecurricular décisions will be wise ones. Only a period oftrial can reveal how many members of the Universityfaculty are intelligently concerned about the educational enterprise and willing to work at it responsibly.Although formally Mr. Levi's proposais are merelystructural, his argument implies a vision of the kindof undergraduate curricula he would like to see émerge.Each curriculum would retain the broad scope of theprésent gênerai éducation component, and at least oneyear would remain completely common to ail curricula.The major change would be a much more serious effortthan has yet been made to plan the student's four yearsas a continuous and cohérent educational expérience.With thèse aims I fully agrée. The existence of severaldifférent curricula may further imply a kind of freeenterprise compétition on the assumption that studentscan choose the program best suited to their aims, abili-ties, and interests. Curricula that do not win adéquatenumbers of students would presumably be revised orabandoned.The ends intended by thèse proposais, as I understand them, are in the best Chicago tradition anddeserve whole-hearted support. Whether the meansproposed are adéquate to achieve the ends, however,can be determined finally only by putting this structure into actual opération. My présent judgment is thatthe risk is worth taking."— Albert M. Hayes,Assistant Dean of the Collège"If the Collège faculty is to meet its corporate responsibilities, it must possess the agencies and thepowers necessary for its work. It is thèse that Mr. Levi'srecommendations are designed to provide."— Warner A. Wick,Dean of Students PART TWOAt the beginning of this académie yearProvost Edward H. Levi proposed a reor-ganization of the Collège and the formation of faculty governing bodies withstatutory powers to originate curricularchanges. Reactions hâve been favorableand the Collège faculty recently votedits approval of the plan. The proposaimust next face the Councïl of the Senate,and ihen the Board of Trustées for finalaction. Part One of the proposai appearedin the preceding issue.12 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE JANUARY, 1965MEMORANDUMONTHECOLLEGEBy Edward H. Levi, ProvostTo secure greater participation by the faculty as awhole and at the same time to préserve the integrityof the programs of the Collège and to focus attentionupon them, two steps should be taken.First, greater reality and effectiveness should begiven to the Collège faculty as a ruling body. The Collège faculty is now too large and amorphous to beeffective as an originating and affirmative body. Itnumbers 280, of which 101 hâve appointments solelyin the divisions, having been designated for Collègevoting membership on the concurrent recommendations of the Dean of the Collège, the Dean of the Divisions and the Dean of the Faculties. This latter statu-tory category was created in an effort to secure greaterparticipation by the faculties as a whole in the under-graduate programs. The Collège faculty has beendivided into four sections— biological sciences, physicalsciences, social sciences, and humanities— patternedafter the divisions, although without statutory authority. In addition, the Collège faculty has an executivecommittee and a policy committee.Thèse agencies, while useful, hâve not been sufficientto provide the kind of forum needed for meaningfulfaculty discussion and work on curriculum. Recommendations for faculty appointments coming from theCollège suffer because to some extent they originatefrom ad hoc or administrative committees and do nothâve that independent affirmation which can be givenby a standing faculty committee appropriately représentative of an entire faculty whefi discussion anddécision by the entire faculty are not possible. Second, the présent sectional structure of the Collège should be built upon and modified in order toencompass responsibility for the entire four years ofundergraduate work and to reflect the University's in-terest in undergraduate instruction. The expérience atChicago with the divisional structures, cutting acrossdepartmental lines while preserving their integrity,should be of considérable help in the évolution of newundergraduate programs. The similarities and inter-relationships among subject matters within thèse areasshould make it possible to hâve faculties that canrespond to curriculum problems and carry throughneeded innovations.It is within thèse areas that both at the Collège anddivisional levels the faculties are most accustomed toworking together. The organization of the subject mat-ter is closest to that now represented by the gêneraiéducation courses. It is within thèse areas that many ofthe problems concerning generalized and specializedapproaches must be understood and worked upon. Ifthe emphases and objectives of the programs are keptclearly in mind, this use of the area sections shouldfacilitate renewed efforts to restate and exemplify thebasic concepts and modes of thought of the majordisciplines. At the very least, the use of the area sections as organizing structures for undergraduate éducation should resuit in an improvement in the specializedwork of the undergraduate curriculum.It is therefore proposed:First, in order to give greater effectiveness to theJANUARY, 1965 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 13Collège faculty as a ruling body, that a Collège Councilshould be created with delegated powers, numberingforty in membership, half elected by the Collègefaculty and half appointed by the Président of theUniversity. Subject to the usual statutory provisions,the Dean of the Collège would be the presiding officerof the Collège Council. The Président, the Provost, theDean of Students, and the four Divisional Deans willbe members ex-officio. The Collège Council shouldelect a Policy Committee of twelve from its membership. The Dean of the Collège should appoint standingcurriculum and faculty appointaient committees re-sponsible to the Collège Council.Second, in order to secure greater faculty participation in the undergraduate curriculum, while at thesame time preserving the integrity of the Collège programs and extending the scope of effective concernover the entire four year undergraduate period, thatfour area collèges or sections should be authorized,subordinate to the Collège Council, each with a gov-erning committee of twelve members appointed bythe Président of the University, and headed by anAssociate Dean or Chairman appointed by the Président. Three of the governing members should be fromoutside the discipline of the particular area.Subject to the authority of the Collège Council, eachof the area collèges or sections would hâve a fourfoldresponsibility:1 — Each would develop gênerai éducation andother courses to be available to ail students includingstudents not members of that collège or section.2 — Each would develop spécial programs to be re-quired or offered to their own students.3 — Each would détermine the over-all required orpermitted programs for their own students in the workof other collèges or sections.4 And each might offer in the fourth year of theundergraduate's work a year long seminar to give opportunity for individual work and an integratingview of the field.It is to be hoped that the collèges or sections willdeliberately foster some joint programs. Recommenda-tions for faculty appointments or curriculum changeswould move from within the area Collège or sectionto its governing committee and associate dean or chairman, and then to the Collège Council. When organized,the Collège Council should set guide lines as to whattype of appointments recommended by the area collèges or sections should be passed upon by the CollègeCouncil appointments committee and what kinds ofcurriculum changes are regarded as sufficiently important to be brought before the Collège Council curriculum committee. Within the framework of certainrequirements, although there should be discussion andconsultation, diversity and innovation should be en-couraged. Yet some coordination among the separatecollèges or sections is désirable. Some mechanism mustbe présent to speak for the Collège as a whole as theprograms evolve. The Collège Council should be thatmechanism.The division of the Collège into area collèges orsections builds upon the présent Collège structureand the expérience of the University with its divisions.It thus adopts for its organization particular distinctions among fields of knowledge. But thèse distinctions, while providing much of the présent frameworkfor the gênerai éducation courses, may not be in factthe best préparation for some specialized work. Theymay not be the best préparation either for an under-standing of the basic values of our society in dischargeof the College's duty to train public citizens. Otherpatterns of organization are useful to students andfaculty. This is reflected in the numerous interdisci-plinary area committees, sometimes between divisions,which exist at the graduate level. It is reflected alsoin the approach of many of the professional schools.In the modem world the training of a public citizen14 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE JANUARY, 1965"i ' V\ 'iT '-ife^îiwdHÉM* *JX+M*±j*£ï ^t,i •m feiiii irequires not only the specialized training which can begiven in the professional schools, such as law, or inthe graduate departments, such as économies, but alsoa broad libéral arts base, with language skills, an un-derstanding of cultural values in western and non-western civilization, an appréciation of science, andskills in persuasion and analysis. The libéral arts éducation of students to be trained either for careers inthe public service or as informed citizens should challenge the best efforts of the Collège. Pressures for particular curriculum arrangements set with other goalsin mind should not impede this effort.It is therefore proposed:Tliird, to give emphasis to the responsibility of theCollège to train public citizens and to provide ap-proaches which can complément the area collèges,that there shall be a fifth coordinate collège orsection known as General Studies, which will hâveits own governing committee and associate dean orchairman.This organization of the Collège into separate collèges or sections will hâve to meet certain problems.One problem relates to the student who is uncom-mitted when he enters undergraduate work, or ifcommitted, who changes that commitment, as so manydo, after a certain period of work. It is to be assumedthat transfers will be permitted from one Collège orsection to another. But after a certain point this un-doubtedly will and should entail a loss of student time.There are advantages in having the first year of thestudent's work in gênerai a year in common with othernrst-year students. Such a first year in common is nota new idea. It was suggested many years ago forChicago by Dean Angell; it has been tried elsewhere.When linked to the General Studies and area collègesor sections it seems to provide a needed function. AU°f the students, then, would take af" portion of theirgênerai éducation studies in the first year. A student Jm ^who is regarded as particularly qualified to do so mightbe permitted to defer one such year-long course inorder to begin specialized work.There will be problems of variations in programsamong students. There are such problems now. Therewill be students who "place out" through examinationfrom some of the gênerai éducation courses; it may bethat more advanced work should be required of themrather than an excuse from the field. In gênerai, thefirst year should provide a distributed portion of thecore curriculum required of ail. The emphasis hère ison portion, since a division between one year of gênerai éducation followed by three years of specializationis not intended. The Dean of the Collège may find itdésirable to hâve an Associate Dean and a spécial committee, partially représentative of the collèges or sections, particularly concerned with the first year of theCollège.Another problem relates to the common require-ments which would be adopted by ail of the areacollèges or sections and General Studies. It seems wiseto begin with the requirements as they now are. Thus,one would begin with the requirements for specialization which actually exist and with the gênerai éducation courses as they now are. This would mean, forexample, that beyond the first year, one-third of thecourses taken would be gênerai éducation courses.Basic modifications of the amount of work requiredoutside of the field of concentration and substantialdéviations in the offering or requirement of gêneraiéducation courses should be passed upon by the curriculum committee of the Collège Council. It shouldbe made clear that in the development of the curriculum, the collèges or sections are encouraged, if theyso désire, to develop alternative programs.It is therefore proposed:Fourth, that the first year of the undergraduate curriculum should in gênerai be a year in common of gen-JANUARY, 1965 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 15eral éducation courses for ail students, but with students particularly qualified permitted to defer onegênerai éducation course in favor of specialized work.Fifth, that initially the requirements for gêneraiéducation courses and for specialization should be asthey now are, but with the collèges or sections en-couraged to develop new programs. Substantial modifications of the présent requirements should be passedupon by the Collège Council and its curriculumcommittee.The organization of the Collège into coordinate unitswill aid in solving another problem which exists on adifférent level. This is the problem of the educationalorganization of undergraduate student life. The Col lège at Chicago, with approximately 2300 students, jsrelatively small. Some significance may attach to tl^efact that it is usually not known to be that small.Chicago has an extraordinarily high faculty to stu.dent ratio, both at the Collège as well as at tliegraduate level. Chicago should hâve the singular aivantages which come within a university when a par,ticular faculty group can know and work with thestudents in its charge. This is indeed the case in mqS|.of the professional schools and often at the graduatelevel, but it has not sufficiently existed within theprésent Collège framework. The System of advisersand other steps which hâve been taken hâve not madeup for the difficulties presented by a lack of smallerORGANIZATION OF THE PROPOSED COLLEGETwenty members of the forty-memberCouncil are to be elected, the others appointed.

The success ofsome of the spécial programs, such as General Studiesin the Humanities, perhaps can be attributed in partto this désignation of a small group.The organization of the Collège which is proposedwill designate viable student communities. This willgreatly assist the educational programs. Student life,faculty and student relationships, and the use of académie and residential facilities now available or to bebuilt will be greatly improved by this organization.New approaches to undergraduate éducation madepossible through the greater participation of the faculties and a more effective organization of the Collègefaculty can be enormously important to Chicago andto libéral éducation generally. They hâve been in thepast. The proposais made herein are mostly matters oforganization. They rely on the interested faculties totake the next steps, building on the considérablealthough uneven progress which the Collège has madethrough many years. They hâve the strength of open-ing up to faculty discussion the amount and nature ofgênerai requirements, including the distribution andtype of courses, which will hold together the Chicagoprogram and. yet permit a considérable amount ofdiversity. This is where such matters ought to be dis-cussed. The program will require considérable supportfrom the faculty as a whole and from the administration of the University. This is both a pressing and fortunate period inwhich to reexamine undergraduate éducation. Therehas been an enormous growth in knowledge. Manyhigh school programs hâve been greatly improved.The percentage of Chicago Collège students going onto do prof essional or graduate work has changed in thelast thirty years from less than twenty percent to some-thing on the order of seventy to eighty percent. Fromthèse facts there is no reason to conclude that thelibéral arts collège should be pinched out of existence;rather its opportunities are greater and différent. In acommunity where everyone is on his way to becominga specialist— including, for example, a specialist in thenew profession of business— the need to understand theinterrelationships among fields of knowledge and toappreciate the compétition among and limitations uponthe disciplines is ail the more important, and in partso that one's own discipline may be understood. In aworld of specialization, universities must work withthe materials at hand, both at the undergraduate andgraduate levels, to reveal the gênerai and the basic.In a world of separate professions, universities throughtheir collèges must aid in the development of citizensof wisdom, capable of leadership. Chicago with its highproportion of students who not only will lead researchand the professions, but who will do so much to détermine the shape of undergraduate teaching in otherinstitutions has a particularly heavy responsibility. DJANUARY, 1965 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 17Mircea Eliade, Professor of Social Thought and Sewell L. AveryDistinguished Service Professor of History of ReligionsThe Oddest Graduate Schoolin the United States. . . so dubbed by Time magazine (January 3, 1964)the Committee on Social Thought rarely fails to elicitlively comments on its vigorous dedication to the practice, as well as the principles, of intellectual freedom.Less frequently appreciated outside educational circlesis the Committee's equal dedication to intellectualdiscipline and integrity. In this article CommitteeProfessor Mircea Eliade présents an account of thefounding of the Committee, the formulation of itsworking principles, and the application of its uniqueteaching methods—and especially the profound influence of Professor John Ulric Nef, former Chairmanof the Committee and one of its founders.18 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE JANUARY, 1965John Nef remarked, some years ago, that the Com-mittee on Social Thought was better known in Europethan in the United States. This is not altogether sur-prising- For one thing, the Committee represents anew and successful experiment in higher éducation,and the success of an original enterprise can usuallyDe estimated more readily from a distance. ( Faulknerwas acknowledged in France as the greatest livingAmerican novelist already in the thirties.) Moreover,the danger of over-specialization and of the increasingfragmentation of knowledge had become a subject ofpréoccupation in Europe by the beginning of thecentury. Consequently, the European élite were pre-pared to appraise any original and efficient endeavorto défend the integrity of the human mind against thismenace of an excessive atomization of learning.Recalling, in 1962, the beginnings of the Committeeon Social Thought, John Nef emphasized this fact: theCommittee was the resuit of a long séries of meetingsand discussions with three friends: former ChancellorRobert M. Hutchins, Professor Frank Knight, and thelate Professor Robert Redfield. From the very beginning, the Committee had a rather unusual "style"; itwas not a team of scholars brought together for thepurpose of studying a spécifie "project"; it was a groupof friends, meeting with some regularity to discuss aproblem of gênerai concern: What can be done to saveand to reinforce the créative spirit in modem higheréducation? The Committee has preserved this "style"up to the présent day. Its members are not simplycolleagues; they are friends. This means primarily thattheir personal creativity is not obstructed by départ-mental rules. Each member of the Committee is freeto dévote his time and energy to the spécifie workdemanded by his own vocation, and not to a taskimposed by the curriculum.Cultural creativity is perhaps the most cherishedconcern of the Committee. At the very outset, John Nefand his friends and collaborators were f aced with twoseparate but interdependent problems: 1— how to préserve the creativity of a scholar in our technologicalâge; 2— how to encourage, guide, and promote thecreativity of a student during his formative years, i.e.when the student is in danger of being spirituallysterilized by a rigid and over-departmentalized curriculum. Roth problems are of the utmost importance,but one dares not be too optimistic about their resolution. We know now that the menace of a finaldestruction through a thermo-nuclear war is only oneaspect of the profound crisis of our times. No lessdangerous, though not so spectacular, is the increasing spiritual sterility resulting from the atomizationof knowledge. And we also know that, in the domain of spirit, prolonged sterility leads ineluctably tospiritual death.The danger is not constituted exclusively by the factof over-specialization; for even the most specialized work may hâve some importance within its particularframe of référence. The real danger lies in the fact thatmore and more it is only this type of work which isconsidered to be valuable, because it is rigorously"scientific." Consequently, any effort to organize, artic-ulate, and interpret on a higher level of référence theresults obtained in différent areas of research is dis-regarded as representing hasty "generalization." It isas if the meticulous grammatical, stylistic, and histori-cal studies which hâve been conducted on Hamlet wereto be considered as having an end in themselves, whileany endeavors to judge the literary value of the playor to interpret its spiritual meaning were to be rejectedas unscientific and ultimately meaningless.The conséquences of this tragic malentendu areaggravated by the fact that the scientific careers ofthe eventual dissidents may easily be ruined by thetacit résistance of senior professors and the chairmenCo-founders Frank H. Knight . . .of their departments. Ultimately, this means that thosewho do not agrée with the officiai doctrine of the fragmentation of knowledge will be able to express theirviews only in books and articles. And, as we ail know,the books and the articles of non-conformists areusually ignored by specialists, i.e. by their scholarlyjournals and Congresses.The problem of the organized résistance against non-conformist opinion— in our case, against a broad andhumanistic understanding of higher éducation— is tooimportant to be discussed in a few lines. We hope todeal with the subject on another occasion. Rut it issignificant that some of the most séminal minds of ourcentury could not, or would not, elaborate their ideaswithin the framework of a university. Freud, Jung,Croce, Keyserling, Berdyaev, Gabriel Marcel, Em.Mounier, J. P. Sartre, Xavier Zubiri, and many otherseither were never invited to join a university or they20 THE UNIVERSITY OF withdrew from their situations after a short period oftime in order to be free to concentrate entirely on theircréative work. Merleau-Ponty accepted only the chaiiof philosophy in the Collège de France ( as a matter offact, he was never invited to join a regular universityfaculty ) . Ortega could contribute highly to the renais.sance of Spanish culture only because he was given thefreedom to organize his own curriculum. When thisfreedom was menaced, he abandoned the Universityand, after many years, he founded in Madrid a semj.private institution where he could teach what he be-lieved it was important and urgent to teach, namely,how to save man in a "de-humanized" culture.This was also, from 1941 on, the main concern of theCommittee on Social Thought. But unlike the privateinstitution of the old Ortega, or the School of Wisdomof Keyserling, or the Jung-Institut in Zurich, theCommittee was devised as a spécial départaient of theUniversity of Chicago. The implicit hope of John Nefand of his colleagues was, of course, that restaurationof a créative and meaningful culture ought to beachieved in the citadel of learning, the university-i.e.in that very place where the atomization of knowledgewas so alarmingly successful.The Committee on Social Thought, writes John Nef,has as its ultimate task to contribute, according to itsmodest means, to the unification of ail récent discov-eries in the arts and sciences. It aims to become acenter for the création of serions works of the minawhich are of sufficient gênerai interest to concern thepublic. It hopes to présent thèse works in forms worthyto command the attention of ail those men whose intelligence and virtue entitle them to a place in the great,diversified human community which ought to be, andwhich must be if civïlization is to be saved fromdestruction.During the past sixty years, he remarks, the tendencyhas been towards an increasing specialization. More-over, the compartmentalization of learning has beenaccompanied by a progressive diminution of intelligentand significative writing.The position often assumed in a university is thatanything written by the scholar must be so specialized,that it must be presented in such highfalutin jargon,that the common individual cannot grasp the meaning.It is even assumed that what a particular scholar writesis bound to be unintelligible to anyone except those inhis spécial field.The results of this practice are unfortunately well-known: with every specialist being brought up in aparticular jargon, genuine dialogue between scholarsbelonging to différent fields of study becomes almostimpossible. The scholars are trained in such a waythat everything which is not expressed in their spécifiejargon is either unintelligible to them or considéréeuseless. Thus a noble and stimulating encounter between scholars in central and décisive areas of cultuflCHICAGO MAGAZINE JANUARY, 1965becomes more and more of a rarity. The worst of thematter is that a great number of scholars do noteven regret their incapacity to communicate with theirfellows from other branches of learning. They tacitlyassume that responsible intellectual activity can becarried out exclusively through the channels of départ-mental jargon, during office hours or in meetings withfellow specialists. During the rest of the time, they aresatisfied with readings of a purely informative or dis-tractive nature. This amounts to a growing culturalparochialism which ultimately destroys a scholar's creativity in his very field of research.As John Nef puts it: The number of members ofuniversity faculties who want to make the universitiescount, not simply as breeding grounds for experts andtechnicians, but as centers of thought and ideas for theattention of ail intelligent people, is very small in anysingle place. Such persons represent, at the most, a tinyminority of the faculty. Everywhere the vast majorityof the professors are busy devising or maintaining ridesand régulations which enable them to get students forthemselves, to work at their narrow specialties. Thèserules and régulations multiply. They make it difficult,they sometimes make it impossible, for such membersof the faculty as would like to try seriously to bringsome branches of knowledge into their appropriaterelation to each other, or to make serions thought andart count in the world outside the universities, toconduct their work effectively.The Committee aims to provide such persons withthe facilities they lack, and to permit them to worktogether with the object of treating knowledge as awhole and helping by their labor to revive the créativelife. It aims to provide a "think-oasis" for some of thosenumerous men and women ihroughout the country whohâve a yearning for a richer life of the mind and a moreserious concern with the life of the spirit, for those whowish to improve the quality of communication throughmass média, and to work for the establishment on anew and firmer foundation of universal principles ofmorality.But the Committee was devised not only to préserveand to encourage the scholar's creativity, but also, andeven more so, to prépare its students for a world ofgrowing cultural and ethical relativism. The first thingwhich the student learns is to put away his textbooksand to go directly to the sources. A dozen books aboutPlato will not match a close reading of the Republic.And the student is, of course, encouraged to read thetext in the original. The Committee does not toleratedilettantism, rapid generalizations, journalistic brilli-ancy. To become a créative scholar, one must begin bybeing a "specialist." But hère there intervene two ruleswhich distinguish the work of the Committee from asimple departmental breeding of specialists. The first¦^le is that the student may not embark on the spécifiefesearch demanded by his topic before undergoing a period of some eighteen to twenty-f our months of reading and meditating on the "fundamentals" (we shallsay more about thèse later ) . The second is that, what-ever the field of specialization may be, the subjectchosen by the student for his doctoral dissertation musthâve meaning for the culture as a whole.A monograph on the syntax of Goethe's Faust may. . . and Robert Redfiéldhâve its interest; but this type of research can be fairlywell achieved in any départaient of Germanistics. Butprobably few such departments would encourage athesis on Goethe the scientist, or on the religious sig-nificance of Faust, or even less so on the problem ofGoethe and Greek culture. A department of Germanistics will probably discourage such projects preciselybecause they présuppose too much boldness and therisk of trespassing too many inter-disciplinary frontiers;and this sort of research is usually not regarded asbeing fit for young scholars. But such projects wouldbe favorably considered by the Committee, on thegrounds that there are not two separate epochs in theintellectual life of a scholar, the first one dedicated to"analysis" and the second to "synthesis." One cannotwrite a "synthetical" work just because he has beencompletely involved in "analysis" for ten or twelveyears. One must learn how to think "synthetically" withJANUARY, 1965 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 21the same earnestness with which he has learned towork "analytically." And, as a matter of fact, this isthe way in which the human mind opérâtes. It is anillusion to believe that the author of an importantmonograph on Balzac first spent ten or twelve yearsin "analyzing" La Comédie Humaine, and then spentanother two or three years trying to "synthesize" theresults of his findings. Consciously or unconsciously, hewas elaborating a "synthetic" view on Balzac s novelsat every stage of his research. To conclude, the Committee is willing to accept rather vast subjects for doctoral dissertations, not only because it believes in theurgency of such comprehensive and stimulating works,but also because this type of research gives the studentthe opportunity to learn how to apply successfully boththe "analyticaF and the "synthetical" approaches.This is the aim of the "fundamentals." This core ofstudy is conceived, writes John Nef, with the object ofbinding ail the independent work done by the studentsinto a common intelligibility . . . It is conceived withthe further object of giving this work order, form, andstyle, which will make it intelligible to the serious public, in so far as possible independent of place and time.The "fundamentals" consist of a group of from twelveto fîfteen important books, which the student is ex-pected to master with the help of seminars or tutorialsgiven by the members of the Committee. The booksare chosen by the student, but must be approved byail the members of the Committee. There is no standardlist of books, but usually the student has to include atleast a Greek tragedy, a Platonic dialogue, a play byShakespeare or Racine, an important historical book(from Thucydides to Burckhardt), a great modemnovel, a séminal philosophical or theological text.Students are expected to gain an understanding ofphïlosophy—of both epistemology and ethics— whichwill permit them to make use of ail new and particularknowledge in relation to human happiness conceivedas a whole, both for individual human beings and forsocieties. Students are expected to gain an understanding of history which will enable them to recognize howail sides of human activity are interrelated. They areexpected, further, by a combination of study and practice to acquire the good taste and form in their writingwhich will enable them to make the most effective useof their discoveries.It is with thèse discoveries that the main body of thegraduate work is concerned. Each student becomes aspecialist, but a specialist in interrelations whose objectis to make his spécial results accessible not simply tospecialists but to ail intelligent men. We are not inter-ested in the interstices of learning as such. We areinterested rather in creating with the help of what isoriginal in our spécial researches a unified vision. Weare interested further in the kinds of rational actionwhich such a vision might make possible in a worldwhich needs above ail intégral sympathy, charity, and love. In order to get such a vision the student has t0acquire a thorough and mature mastery of a specificsubject matter which differs from that obtained by thedepartmental student in that it cuts across the existinaartificially constructed compartments. The student i$encouragea to look at his subject in the light of sourcematerials rather than popularizations of knowledge.There are no course or "field" requirements, nor isthere an obligation to attend formai lectures.Students are chosen, writes John Nef, because theyshow unusual promise of independent intellectual %n{.tiative, and it is our main purpose to help them to makethis initiative count to the advantage of scholarship andthe créative life . . . Candidates are tested by gêneraiexaminations, each of which extends over a period ofthree to four days, and by the présentation of writtenwork— varions papers if the student is a candidate forthe Master s degree and a thesis if he is a candidate forthe Doctor s degree.Recently, John Nef founded the Center for HumanUnderstanding in Washington, as an extension of theUniversity of Chicago. After some years of préparation,the first meeting was held in April, 1962. The resultsof the second meeting (May 2-5, 1963) hâve beenpublished under the title: Bridges for Human Understanding. The purposes of the Center were presentedby John Nef in a paper at the Seminar on InternationalEducation of the Department of Health, Educationand Welfare in December, 1962.First, writes John Nef, we try to concentrate ourefforts . . . on the discovery or interrelationshipsbetween ail Unes of endeavor, whether scholarly orpractical, between ail sides of history, between ailnations, and races . . . Second, we seek to discover, byconcrète examples, the meaning of enduring values . . .Third, it is to work towards a common language ofcommunication . . . What we seek is a common language that is as disinterested as we are able as a grouptobe . . .In short we form a Center capable of spiritualextension wherever there are men and women whoshare thèse conceptions and objectives of ours.Thèse conceptions of the Center for Human Understanding were inhérent in the ideas which promptedthe formation of the Committee on Social Thought. Butthe Center is built upon a broader basis. One of itspurposes, write John Nef, is to encourage in widercircles the kind of teaching, research, créative thoughtand writing which the Committee on Social Thoughthas fostered. Another is to strengthen, much more thanthe Committee on Social Thought has been able to do,the search for enduring values and interrelationshipsbetween spécial subjects of inquiry and spécial inter-ests. It is my conviction that such a search is anessential part of the search for civilization.It will not be without interest to the reader to remincihim that the title of one of John Nefs most recentlypublished books is, precisely, A Search for Civilization.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE JANUARY, 1965News of the QuadranglesMETEORITE "LIFE" — EdwardAnders, of the Enrico Fermi Insti-tute for Nuclear Studies, an experton the origin and âge of météorites,and various collaborators hâve de-termined that "évidence of life" ina météorite that fell in France in1864 was the resuit of contamination by some individual, either acci-dentally or deliberately. Some of thefragments, which had been sealedin a jar in the Natural HistoryMuséum at Montauban, France,shortly after the météorite fell, were "sent to the University in 1962. Some coal, and a seed capsule of an un-known type, which investigationproved to be of a reed that growsin the area of impact, were foundin one pièce of the météorite. Further study revealed that the crust ofthe sample differed from others; theexplanation proved to be that gluehad been used to restore the surfaceof the fragment after the seed andcoal were introduced. If the introduction of organic material a cen-tury ago was a practical joke, its" perpetrator did not live longenough to see it exposed.
