The charac-ter of the University is a continuum achieved through the fulfillment ofsound plans.At the same time, the University is the end product of ail the day-by-day undertakings that are the essential responsibilities of a major institution of higher éducation.What, for instance, happens if a gifted young scholar cannot be hireclbecause at the moment funds are lacking to meet a salary need?Or, what is the conséquence when a promising and able student is notenrolled because sufficient scholarship aid is not available?And what is the resuit when an exciting research project founders forlack of immédiate dollars, or when facilities are outmoded, or essentialnew equipment not purchased?Thèse things would make the University less today, and would undermineits capacity for growth tomorrow.To hire the gifted scholar, to attract the promising student,to support essential research, to maintain facilities — thèseare everyday needs of the University, and the practical em-bodiment of its best planning.To plan soundly, for The University of Chicago, is to planboldly. And to move forward with the boldness it requires,the University must rely on assured and growing sources ofsupport.Hère, most particularly, is where Chicago alumni can be décisive in secur-ing the opportunities for progress that are the lifeblood of the University.For the past twenty-three years alumni contributions hâve become amajor source of académie risk capital. Now, and in the future, alumni giftsare needed to provide more of thèse ready and mobile dollars, unrestrictedas to their use, that make the critical différence between mediocrity andChicago.It is this différence thèse gifts hâve made for over twodécades.

"I can't hear theoboe in this passage," said Martinon. After a moment's considération,the composer replied, "It can be heard." Apparently satisfied, Martinonresumed tjie rehearsal of Easley Blackwood's "Symphony No. 3" forits world première the following day, while the composer (above left)listened intently. Seated beside Blackwood are composer George Perlefrom Queens Collège and Professor Léonard Meyer, Chairman of U ofC's Music Department.Enthusiastic audiences at Mandel Hall on theevenings of March 7th and 8th heard threepremières of contemporary music, performedby the Chicago Symphony Orchestra : the worldpremière of Easley Blackwood's Symphony No.3 ; the American première of George Perle'sThree Movements for Orchestra; and the Chicago première of Edgar Varese's Arcana. Underthe direction of Jean Martinon, also a contemporary composer, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra overflowed the stage onto a speciallyconstructed apron, giving performances thatbrought qualified but, on the whole, vigorouslyappréciative praise from Chicago critics.The concerts were made possible by a grantfrom the Rockefeller Foundation and are partof a larger program for the study, composition,and performance of contemporary music by theUniversity's Music Department and its Contemporary Chamber Players.Easley Blackwood, son of Easley Blackwood,Sr., of contract bridge famé, is an associateprofessor in the University's Department ofMusic, where he has been a faculty membersince 1958. He began his studies in compositionwith Bernard Heiden and Olivier Messiaen.After receiving a Master of Music degree fromYale, where he was a pupil of Hindemith, heworked with Nadia Boulanger while on a Ful-bright Fellowship. His First Symphony wonthe Boston Symphony Orchestra Merit Awardin 1958, and has been recorded by that Orchestra. His Second Symphony, commissioned byG. Schirmer for its lOOth Anniversary, was first performed by the Cleveland Symphony in 1961.Last November his Clarinet Concerto was givenits first performance by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, which also commissioned thework. In addition to thèse works for orchestra,Blackwood has written a large number of chamber works, including two string quartets (thefirst, commissioned by the Fromm Foundation,was first played by the Budapest Quartet; thesecond, commissioned by the KoussevitskyMusic Foundation, was first played by the Juil-liard Quartet), a Concertino for Five Instruments (1959), a Sonata for Violin and Piano(1960), and Music for Flûte and Harpsichord.Blackwood's Third Symphony, composed latelast year, took four months to write and re-quires a performance time of about fif teen minutes. The work is in three movements — AllegroVivo, Adagio, and Scorrevole — and is scored forconsiderably reduced orchestra (32 players),consisting of strings and winds only. "It wasvery difficult to write," Blackwood said. "I gavemyself some complicated musical problems tosolve." Orchestra members, during a break inthe rehearsal, agreed that it, and the otherworks on the program, were equally difficultto perform, requiring more rehearsal time andextrême concentration in the simultaneous useof différent rhythms. Judging from the warmréception of the concerts, the prodigious amountof underlying work was not in vain, and theUniversity is looking forward to a continuingrelationship with the Chicago SymphonyOrchestra.performanceBefore hazarding a few generalizations about thepsychology of a spécifie type of successful businessman, I want to clarify what I mean by the adjective"neurotic."I define as "neurotic" évidence that emotional con-flicts that belong to the past and that hâve never beensolved are substantially affecting a person's currentfunctioning. Actually our lives and the civilization inwhich we live are so complex that none of us growsup without some residual unsolved conflicts and ailof us hâve some areas of our lives in which we demon-strate neurotic behavior.THE NEUROTIC COMPETITORIN THEWORLD OF BUSINESSThere is a wide range of the amount of neuroticbehavior that is consistent with "normal," and an evenwider range of types of neurotic symptoms. Most ofthe types of neurotic symptoms are uncomfortable orhandicapping to some degree and hence hardly canbe considered assets in business or home life.On the other hand, some symptoms do pay off, inone way or another, and the payoff reinforces thesymptoms. The most obvious example of symptom re-inforcement is the neurotic patient who receives a dis-ability pension for his neurosis. He is particularlydifficult to treat as long as his pension continues, andhe is in effect being rewarded for his illness. (Let memake it clear that there is no évidence at ail that renforcement of this type is consciously carried out—the patient is not aware that his compensation is pro-longing his illness, and he is properly insulted ifanyone accuses him of using it for financial gain.)Ail rewards for neurosis are not in the form ofpensions, or even in the form of less tangible évidencesof sympathy. Perfectionism, for example, within by C. Knight Aldrich, M.D.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE APRIL,rgasonable limits pays off in several kinds of work.you want your accountant to be more a perfectionisttban average and the same applies to your secretary.jn medicine, the operating room nurse, the laboratorytechnician, the research scientist ail need to be per-fectionists to a degree that might handicap the ad-ministrator or the salesman.But why call perfectionism a neurotic trait? Afterall? accuracy and conscientiousness are standard virées, part of any child's training. The perfectionist isclassified as neurotic, however, to the extent that hebecomes uncomfortable when things aren't perfect,so uncomfortable that his attention is distracted fromanything ëise. So the perfectionistic accountant cannotthink of anything else until the bookkeeping error isfound, and the surgical nurse cannot rest until everyinstrument is accounted for. A research scientistcarried out 605 unsuccessful experiments before hefound what he was after. For ail three, neurotic perfectionism is an asset, at least as far as their workis concerned. On the other hand, there are varietiesof perfectionism that can interfère with efficiency: ifyou are so concerned about the dust on the desk thatyou cannot concentrate on the papers on it, your neurotic perfectionism, which means in this example yourconcern about past conflicts that are actually or sym-bolically connected with dirt, is interfering with yourattention to présent and more realistic problems.To summarize what I hâve said so far: (1) every-one is preoccupied to some degree with past conflicts;(2) the manifestations of past conflicts vary from per-son to person; and (3) in some circumstances andwithin certain limits the préoccupation can be putto constructive uses. The next question is: Is there anytype of neurotic behavior, behavior determined byearlier unresolved conflicts, that is particularly usefulto the businessman, always provided that it is keptwithin reasonable limits?The essence of business, at least as it appears tothis outsider, is compétition. A business progresses tothe extent that it makes a better product, does a betterselling job, or hires better people than its competitors.An employée gets ahead within a business to theextent that he works harder, produces more, sells more,or makes better décisions than his associâtes.If ail other things are equal, the man with thegreatest compétitive drive, again within certain limits,becomes the greatest success. And so the man whosepast unsolved conflicts add a "neurotic" componentto his basic "normal" compétitive drive has an advan-tege over his associate. If, like the perfectionist whois nervous when things aren't perfect, he is nervouswhen he hasn't won the compétition, he will work atrt night and day and over weekends while his betteradjusted competitor relaxes with his family. Providedthat he can restrain himself when to be openly compétitive would be impolitic, and provided that ail other considérations of integrity, tact, intelligence,influence, and so on balance out, the man with single-minded dévotion to compétition wins.His neurotic traits, therefore, pay off in the currencyof the American idéal. And, just as the neurotic witha pension hangs on to his neurosis more grimly thanthe neurotic who doesn't get a pension, the neuroticcompetitor resists any change in his way of life. Ifyou tell him to take it easy or to rest, he says, "Non-sense; not resting has gotten me where I am; if I rest,my compétition will catch up— and besides, rest makesme nervous."Our hypothetical successful neurotic competitor,however, may hâve trouble using authority, once hehas arrived at a position of responsibility. Since hesees everyone including his subordinates as competitors, to delegate authority or to support wholeheartedlythe progress of a gifted subordinate may represent adangerous weakening of his défenses against the compétition. He also may balance his success in businessto some extent by his difficulties in his personal life,particularly with his body, his family and his old âge.First, a word about his body. Constant compétitionrequires constant tension, and constant tension in-creases the wear and tear on certain parts of the body,notably the stomach lining. Although the associationbetween competitiveness and ulcers is not as clear-cutas it once appeared to be— relaxed, dépendent typeshâve ulcers too— the competitors hâve more than theirshare, and when they hâve ulcers, they dont take verygood care of themselves. The neurotic competitor is toobusy looking back over his shoulder to see where theopposition is to baby himself. He's also ashamed ofanything that resembles weakness and so can't lethimself give in to being a patient. The compétitivepressure may show in other areas of his body as well;sometimes the two packs a day, the two Martinisbefore lunch, and the other methods he uses to coun-teract the constant inner pressure to compete also taketheir toll.The second area of possible trouble is in his family.Home, for the neurotic competitor, represents eitherno compétition, which bores him; a handicap to hiscompétitive efforts, which makes him nervous; or anan alternative compétitive field. To some extent heavoids the boredom by long hours of work and eveningmeetings, and he may express his tension by irrita-bility. His domestic competitiveness, however, is moreC. Knight Aldrich is Prof essor in the University's Department of Psychiatry and author ofPsychiatry for the Family Physician. The présentarticle is taken from Selected Papers No. 5 on"Executive Behavior," published by the University's Graduate School of Business.^RIL, 1965 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 5THE NEUROTIC COMPETITORIN THE WORLD OF BUSINESS(continued)6 THE UNIVERSITY complicated. His wife often seems to represent a beau-tiful and talented prize he has won in compétitionwith other men; once he's won her, he's not so surehe knows what to do with her. He is uncomfortableabout competing with women, but he has been toobusy competing with men to hâve time to learn anyother type of relationship. When children corne, hecompetes with them for attention and care from hiswife; in this area of compétition, however, there is toomuch of the dependency he is ashamed of for himto be able to acknowledge it to himself, and so thecompétition is carried out in such subtle ways thatoften no one in the family recognizes it as compétition.The third area is retirement. During his active work-ing years our subject never takes a vacation fromcompétition; either he brings his work along, or hespends his vacations in strenuously compétitive golf,fishing, bridge and poker, buoyed up by the thoughtthat he is recharging his batteries for the more important struggle back home. So long as he has thereal world to compete in, he is ail right, but when hecloses up his desk for good and retires to checkers orto bowling on the green, he has nothing to substitutefor real compétition, and he becomes bored and de-pressed. He is not interested in the solutions that peo-ple recommend for his boredom; they tell him to finda hobby, but hobbies are for kids— they don't providethe kind of challenge to which he has geared his life.We hear so many stories of the rapid détériorationof successful men on retirement that we begin to thinkthat détérioration is an inévitable sequel of retirement.The results of a récent national study, however, showthat the average man does not deteriorate but adjustssurprisingly well to retirement. He is a little short ofmoney, and he has a few aches and pains, but he doesnot envy those who still hâve to get up and go to workevery morning, and he finds enough to do to keep himas busy as he wants to be. Apparently we hâve formedour stéréotype of retirement from the expériences ofa relative minority of successful men and hâve appliedit indiscriminately to ail.There are exceptions even to the limited stéréotype,since a fair number of successful competitors are ableto retire gracefully. Usually they are fortunate enoughto hâve had the flexibility and foresight to prépare analternate field of compétitive activity for themselvesto which they can switch without breaking their stride.One industrialist became an author, for example; an-other devoted himself to fund-raising. Other successful men hâve spécial assets that hâve brought themsuccess in spite of the absence of neurotic competitiveness, and they can retire as gracefully as the average man.CHICAGO MAGAZINE APRIL, l^Commonly it is assumed that an intense compétitivedrive stems from a feeling of inferiority, perhaps aresuit of an impoverished background, membership ina minority group, or some similar circumstance. Al-though thèse circumstances may make their contribution, I think that a more important contributor is afairly typical séries of events in the early years of life.This séries of events starts with the battle practicallyall children put up to maintain the prior claim ontheir mothers' interest and affection that their help-lessness as infants has appeared to give them. As thechild develops and becomes less helpless, he beginsto perceive that his mother has other interests, manyof which revolve around his father. If he has anyspunk, he puts up a fight for what he considers are hisrights. Ordinarily as he continues to develop, he finallybegins to see things in a more realistic perspective;he realizes that he can't be top dog in every arena,and he more or less gracefully retreats.At the beginning of this struggle, the prospectiveneurotic competitor is no différent from any otherlittle boy, except that possibly he is an unusually vigor-ous fighter. The différence arises when something inthe situation, usually an attitude or a combination ofattitudes on the part of the family, encourages theboy's compétition but discourages his goal— the goalof being mother's number one boy in all things. Theresuit is that instead of looking at the situation realis-tically, and philosophically accepting his place in thescheme of things, he keeps on competing furiously,but conceals the real goal from himself so he nevercan be satisfied.It might seem easy to solve the problem simply byexplaining its source, but insight into the causes of anemotional problem does not automatically solve it.Instead relief, at least on a permanent basis, usuallyrequires a long, tedious and customarily painful procédure, psychotherapy, and as I hâve already pointedout, the fact that society rewards the neurotic competitor so lavishly certainly does not encourage himto undertake a long, tedious and painful procédurewhich, if successful, will reduce his rewards.Insight into the nature of the problem, however,can be used to modify life patterns. If somewherealong the line the neurotic competitor stops, takesstock, and looks at his goals to see whether he is competing for an attainable goal that he really wants or iscompeting just for competition's sake, it is usuallypossible for him to modify his goals, recognize andaccept his need to be compétitive, and harness theneed to the modified goals. He then must constantlyreinforce his new patterns, assuming that any move he starts to make back towards the old patterns is arationalization unless proved otherwise.So far, the prescription sounds a little like a sermon.Perhaps I can bring it down to earth if I describe itsapplication in three spécifie instances of neuroticcompetitors, all of whom worked out solutions to theirproblems without psychiatrie assistance.The thing that brought Mr. X up short was anulcer. He knew that his tensions had something to dowith his ulcer and that his compétitive drive had a lotto do with his tensions. In the hospital he started outby competing with the doctor for control and by refus-ing to accept any treatment recommendations that re-sembled "babying" (this category includes, unfortun-ately, most aspects of ulcer management— "drink yourmilk, eat your mush, dont smoke, dont drink, takeyour nap," and so on). This kind of compétition, an extension of patterns that had been successful in businessinto his relationship with his physician, was not likelyto encourage healing of his ulcer. But instead of dog-gedly pursuing the familiar course, Mr. X realizedthat he wasn't getting anywhere and decided to modify not his competitiveness, which he knew he couldn'teliminate, but his field of compétition. Instead ofcompeting with the doctor for control, he decided tocompete with him for knowledge, and at the sametime he competed with the doctor's other patients.He set about to learn as much— or more— about ulcermanagement as his doctor knew, and to follow thebest possible routine so closely that he would get wellf as ter and stay well longer than other patients. In thisway he turned a struggle for control and againstdependency into a race for clinical cure.I am not suggesting that his approach is foolproof,and certainly I am not suggesting that it makes doctorshappy; given the limits of the situation, however, itis better than the available alternative. And so farMr. X has évidence of success; at least he has hadno récurrence of his ulcer.Mr. Y began to wonder what was really going onwhen his son passed up his advice in an importantmatter in favor of the advice given by a much less-qualified and somewhat depreciated Assistant Scout-master. When Mr. Y finished blowing his top aboutthe incident, he discovered that there was more to itthan the usual case of a prophet being without honorin his own bailiwick. He found that his son thoughthis father resented and disliked him, and on that basishe distrusted his father's advice.At this point, instead of brushing aside the boy'scomplaints as ridiculous nonsense, Mr. Y took stock.He realized that he did resent his son, as an irritatingAPRIL, 1965 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEincompétent who took valuable time away from moreimportant business concerns. He may not hâve identi-fied as évidence of compétition his view that his wife"spoiled" the boy, but he was able to recognize thatthe alliance he saw between them was at least in partthe resuit of his lack of interest in them. He facedthe fact that business success did not automaticallyinsure success at home, decided that he wanted therewards of being a good father and husband as wellas the rewards of business compétition, and set aboutcompeting with fathers and husbands as well as withexecutives and managers.His road was not as easy as Mr. X's. First, he hadto fînd out how to be a good father and husband,and this educational enterprise required him to listento criticism of his past performances which arousedhis anger and almost upset the apple cart. Second,he found that his sudden change of attitude did notimmediately win over his son, who met his initialoverly hearty efforts with suspicion and reserve. Mr.Y did not let his discouragement get him down, however, and resumed his campaign on a more modulatednote.Although for a while he suspected that being a goodhusband somehow meant relinquishing control of thewhole family, he persisted and eventually he begancashing in. He still cannot avoid the compétitive élément; he continues to see as his goal to become abetter father and husband than other fathers and husbands. The Assistant Scoutmaster, however, has lostout.Mr. Z's day of insight came when his illusion ofindispensability was punctured. He had assumed onno more évidence than his own illusion that his Company would naturally waive the mandatory retirementâge in his case. Fortunately for him this illusion, whichis by no means uncommon among people in the "normal" range, did not persist until the day of retirementbut was sufficiently jolted two years in advance sothat he no longer could support it.When he first recognized that he was actually ex-pected to retire at the usual âge, he was angry anddepressed, and even considered resigning and takinga job with a less unappreciative firm. He soon realized,however, that other firms were equally unappreciative,and finally f acing the full measure of reality, he beganto reappraise his potentialities in retirement. He knewhe could not enjoy life without some kind of significantcompétition, and he recognized that his chances ofcontinuing his successful compétition in business afterretirement were limited. Once he could abandon theconviction that the only "real" field of compétition wasfor personal financial reward, a whole new set of compétitive opportunities opened up in political, charitableand artistic arenas. He could run for local office, orwork for his party; he could compete for the communi- ty's contributions on behalf of the agency or fund inwhich he was most interested, or he could developtheir public relations program for them; he could corn*pete for support of a musical organization against therest of the artistic community.As he became convinced that thèse areas of compe.tition were significant and productive, his interest inall of them rapidly developed, he began to be ira.patient with his lame-duck status in his company, andby the time his retirement date rolled around, he waseager to make the transition.The happy endings of the problems of Messrs. XY and Z required a good deal of flexibility on theirparts, flexibility that is by no means always to becounted on. Any kind of reorientation that requiresthe abandonment of well-established emotional patterns is difficult, and the fact that the old patterns arenot consistent with the best interests of self or othersdoes not seem to make it easier to abandon them, aswitness the problems of the alcoholic. On the otherhand, as Messrs. X, Y and Z demonstrate, at least insome individuals old patterns can be modified to adegree sufficient to make the différence between com-fortable and uncomfortable existence, and this modification can be accomplished without psychiatrie treat-ment.I am not suggesting that psychiatrie treatment isnot useful as an antidote for neurotic competitiveness.The men I hâve discussed might well hâve adaptedmore rapidly with a gentle psychiatrie nudge. I amsuggesting, however, that people are not necessarilyhelpless in the grip of neurotic manifestations. Somepeople can do a lot on their own about some types ofneurotic symptoms, once they stop rationalizing thatthis is the way they are and no one should expectthem to be différent. On the other hand, if they hâverecognized the problem for what it is, hâve made aserious effort to make a différent adaptation, and hâvefailed to bring about the desired modification, it istime to seek some professional help.In summary, then, a business career may be mate-rially promoted by a degree of competitiveness thatcan be classified as neurotic. Neurotic competitivenesscarries with it, however, the risk of some disadvan-tages in other areas of the competitor's life situation.With some flexibility, as well as with some persistence,the disadvantages can be contained to a degree, andthe businessman can, so to speak, hâve his compétitivecake and eat it too.It is not impossible for the highly compétitive, successful businessman, once he recognizes the natureof the compétitive drive that is in large part responsi-ble for his success, to make adaptations and compromises that will not endanger his goals in business butat the same time will permit him to live comfortablywith his body, his family, and his future. 0S THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE APRIL, 1965TOMORROW-LANDHigh spot of the New York World's Fair reopening this Spring —GM Futurama!You can look over GM's exciting "idea" cars— Firebird IV with télévision,stereo, game table, refrigerator; CM-X with jet aircraft cockpit and con-trols— fascinating design and engineering innovations right out oftomorrow.You'll take a ride that is wrapped in wonders . . . through the metropolisof the future, over Antarctic wastes, into tropical jungles, along the océanfloor.You can count on the people of General Motors again to provide the mostpopular show at the Fair— the Futurama.General Motors Is People...making better things for youIn MemoriamAMOS ALONZO STAGGAugust 16, 1862 — March 17, 1965The Old Man— "the Grand Old Man"— is(jead. His going symbolizes the passing ofan era in the University's history, for as thelast survivor of the original f aculty, he wasa link from its begînning to the présent, areminder of a great and triumphant aspiration that brought the University into being.He came to Chicago because he shared inthat aspiration, and labored mightily forits realization with a compétence, dedica-tion, and unflagging effort that was entirelyselfless. His death marks also the last représentation of a bygone era in the nation, forhère was a man, born in the second year ofthe Civil War, who expressed the convictions and values of men and women whoconstructed, with their backs and theirhands and their faith, the foundations fora country that now adopts the slogan of"The Great Society."Mr. Stagg did not conceive of himself ineither of thèse rôles and he would reject thesuggestion that he represented anythingthat was not immediately obvious : a sincèredésire to influence young men to be décentand true to themselves, and to do it by teach-ing them to achieve in athletics the best levelof their compétence. Athletics happened tobe the means of teaching which Mr. Staggfound most suited to his own talents ; it wasaconsidered substitute for the ministry, forwhich he decided he was not fitted. His greatréputation as a coach in football, all theinnovations he introduced, the teaching skilllie brought to producing teams, are second-ary in any appraisal. He won famé as acoach, but his réputation and regard ac-tually were based on the integrity andcharacter he epitomized. He left his markjn his players, for, naive as it may sound,Ç shaped their attitudes. They adoptedfe values, his unequivocal and — to some^seemingly unsophisticated standards of^hat was right and moral, and they never'°st the effects of his influence. Theirs waslot a relationship of comradeship and shared memories alone, but also of a grow-ing respect and admiration. The "Old Man"may be gone, but the aging générations ofathlètes he coached still are guided by hisprinciples.Mr. Stagg was a simple man and a humbleone. He lived in spartan fashion, unawareof and disinterested in luxuries or indulgences. He was almost astonishingly unsophisticated about the practical world aroundhim ; he ignored its turmoils and strivings.Perhaps had he been otherwise he could nothâve held to the unswerving kind of faithby which he lived all his life. He was noopportunist, ready to break a contract andhis deeply rooted relations with Chicagofor more money and the opportunities ofincreasing his coaching réputation. Hisloyalty was entirely committed to the University and its advancement, and he con-tributed tremendously to its réputation. Itis doubtful if any other member of theUniversity ever was so well known as Mr.Stagg to the gênerai public — not even Dr.Harper or Robert M. Hutchins. His valuein establishing a widespread awareness andrespect for the standards and vigor of theUniversity is incalculable.Another of the stalwart University figures of the past, Frédéric Woodward, saidit all years ago : "Famé generally cornes tomen because of what they do; not becauseof what they are. Their character may beinf erred, or guessed at, from their achieve-ments, but it is their deeds which fill thepublic eye. To a striking degree AmosAlonzo Stagg is an exception to the rule.His achievements, it is true, hâve beenremarkable But the most extraordinarything about him is that, from the beginningand in steadily increasing measure, theadmiration, not only of his friends but ofthe public, has been for Stagg, the man."And what a man he was!W.

InglisTHE CHINESE BOMBSHELLThe explosion of an atomic bombby the Chinese communists was nosurprise— no real "bombshell." Ithas been known for many years thatthey were working on its develop-ment, and we hâve been expectingfor the past three or four years thatit might corne any time. It was ex-pected despite the industrial back-wardness of mainland China, because the répétition of a scientificand technical advance alreadymade elsewhere is easier than theoriginal achievement and because adictatorial régime can arbitrarilyconcentrate scarce resources on adesired goal at the expense of consumer goods. The Soviet Union inthe mid-fifties sent to China numer-ous technicians (later suddenlywithdrawn) to help with nucleardevelopment including the construction of nuclear reactors. TheChinese scientists speak proudly ofone research reactor on the out-skirts of Peking (a heavy-water,enriched-uranium reactor of about5 or 10 mégawatts thermal power ) ,and the existence of perhaps sev-eral other less conspicuous reactorshas been suspected.The fuel éléments of a reactornormally contain uranium. Duringthe course of opération some of theuranium is slowly changed to plutonium and the fuel éléments arepoisoned and eventually must beremoved and reprocessed chemical-ly. The process permits the removalof the plutonium for use as bombmaterial.This is the simplest method ofcollecting the fissile material neces-sary for an atomic bomb. Duringa very few wartime years we builtreactors at Hanford, and later elsewhere, on a very large scale in order to collect this material rapidlyenough for the production of manybombs per year. The expectationwas that the Chinese, with a longertime at their disposai, could collectplutonium enough for one bomb ora few bombs in a period of severalyears from reactors much lesspowerful than ours, and thus wouldexpend a more modest industrialeffort. They also had time for thenecessary expérimentation and design of the explosive mechanism ata much less frantic pace than thatat Los Alamos during the war andtherefore with a smaller and perhaps less compétent effort.The real surprise of the Chinesebomb was that its fissile materialwas not plutonium but rather therare isotope of uranium, U-235, asthe United States discovered bythe routine examination of the contents of the radioactive cloud. Theconcentration of this isotope, unlikethe production of plutonium, doesnot just happen in the course ofrunning a reactor. Instead, the in-dividual atoms of uranium hâve tobe sorted out mechanically by oneDavid R.

"The Chinese Bombshell" appeared in the February,1965, issue of the Bulletin of theAtomic Scientists and is reprint-ed hère by permission.'pRlL, 1965 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 13of several technologically advancedprocesses.During the war, when speed wasnecessary to make sure that theNazis would not get ahead of us,we chose to prépare both plutonium and separated uranium. Of theseveral ways proposed for concen-trating and separating uranium wechose two as the most promising,gaseous diffusion and electromag-netic séparation. Both were usedduring the war. The former provedto be more satisfactory and hascontinued in use. The diffusion proc-ess involves a spécial technologyof porous barriers, able to with-stand very corrosive gas, the installation of tremendous spécial pumps,and, in our large plants, electricpower consumption in amounts noteasily available to backward coun-tries ( approximately one-tenth ofU.S. total electric consumption).Press reports over the years hâveprovided at least the suspicion thatduring the late fifties the Russianswere providing the Chinese withtechnical assistance in the construction of a gaseous diffusion plant.Material for the fuel éléments ofa power reactor as well as the morehighly enriched uranium for an Abomb can be produced by such aplant, so Russian help with its construction would hâve been consistent with the déclarations around1955 that the Chinese were beingassisted with atomic developmentsfor peaceful purposes only. However, until the explosion of the Chinese bomb, it was reasonably hopedthat if this were indeed the case,the effort would hâve bogged downafter the withdrawal of the Russians. In view of those earlier reports, it seems likely that gaseousdiffusion is indeed the process bywhich the Chinese obtained enriched uranium to make a bomb,although in the absence of Russianhelp with the apparatus for han-dling the highly toxic gas employed,it might hâve seemed more likelythat the Chinese themselves wouldhâve developed other methods.Thèse include electromagnetic séparation, time-of-flight séparation,liquid diffusion, and the centrifugalprocess widely discussed in connection with a small-scale develop-ment in Germany a few years ago. THE CHINESE BOMBSHELLEach of our three gaseous diffusion plants is enormous, and itsefficiency dépends on its large size—on cycling the gas being separatedback and forth between ratherlarge units. A smaller plant's out-put would be low— not just in proportion to the size of the plant—because a small plant is a less efficient producer of uranium of a certain degree of enrichment of U-235.Thus, the Chinese gaseous diffusionplant may be considerably smallerthan one of ours, but there is alower limit to the size of plant weshould expect.This is one reason why the dis-covery of enriched uranium as thematerial the Chinese used in theirbomb raises our estimate of theirnuclear weapon prospects. It meansthat their production capacity ismore substantial than we wouldotherwise hâve guessed. It alsomeans that they hâve greater ver-satility of production and are moreindependent of other countries infurther production than we mighthâve thought. Facilities for separating the isotopes of uranium, suchas a gaseous diffusion plant and reactors for the production of plutonium, supplément each other advan-tageously in a well-rounded nuclearproduction capability. That is whythe United States has both. It ispossible to operate a reactor withraw, unenriched uranium and toproduce plutonium, but it is inefficient and requires the use of spe-cially prepared materials, such asvery pure graphite or heavy water,for slowing down neutrons withoutabsorbing them. Reactors may beused more efficiently for the production of plutonium, as well as ofother materials needed for makingan H-bomb, if the reactors fuel ispartially enriched uranium.A diffusion plant can provideeither slightly enriched uranium such as may be efficiently used 'a reactor, or it may be used tproduce uranium enriched sufficiently for use in an A-bomb. Tkoutput of the latter is much slowerequiring recycling for a long tj~JThe fact that the Chinese hâve produced enough highly enricheduranium for at least one A-borM,means that they can produce lesshighly enriched fuel for their reactors, and are no longer dépendenton Russia for it.The fact that they hâve chosen touse some of their diffusion p]anicapacity to produce bomb-gradeenriched uranium may mean one ofseveral things. It may mean thatthey hâve production capacity tospare, greater than needed to feedtheir reactors, and that, due to de-lays in chemical processing of spentreactor fuel éléments for examplethey hâve found the uranium roadto the bomb quicker than the plutonium one. It could mean thatthey hâve not yet mastered somepart of the reactor technique, suchas the fabrication of fuel éléments,and are still operating their reactorson fuel éléments supplied by theRussians. A more ominous possibil-ity is that they not only hâve diffusion plant capacity to spare butthat they also prefer to concentratethe capacity of their reactors on theproduction of spécial H-bomb materials. This is done mainly withneutron flux left over from thecentral chain-reacting fission process that produces plutonium; thisélément would also be obtained atleast incidentally and would event-ually be used in A-bombs or in H-bomb triggers.If the first Chinese A-bomb hadbeen of plutonium rather thanuranium, we would hâve beentempted to suppose that the plutonium had been slowly accumulatedthrough several years of runningone or several modest reactors withenriched fuel supplied by the Russians. A reasonable guess thenwould hâve been that the futureproduction rate would remain slowincapable of independent expansion until some enrichment processfor uranium had been mastered.Even in light of the fact that theChinese used highly enriched uranium in their first bomb, it is s™'14 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE APRIL, 1$tecbnically possible to suppose that.ugy might hâve chosen to sacrificetue reactor fuel éléments suppliedw the Russians and to use the par-^ally enriched uranium as the basisjor a limited program of furtherenrichment for one or a very fewbombs and thus impress the world0th a démonstration. This does notseem to be more than wishfultjjinking. It would hâve requiredinstruction of rather extensive facilities such as a modest gaseousdiffusion plant tooled up for a veryspécial purpose, and with little future return because of the verylimited supply of feed material. Ajiiore nearly plausible variant ofthis possibility is that the final enrichment stages of a gaseous diffusion plant might be completed before the initial stages, and thatsome fraction of the available supply of partially enriched reactorfuel éléments might be sacrificedfor a trial run of the final stagessufficient to produce one bomb.However, in this case, it probablywould hâve advanced the date oftheir first bomb only by a year orso, and the prospect of rather co-pious future production by a complète gaseous diffusion plant is stillwith us. It would not be reasonablefor them to hâve built only part ofthe plant; the sighting by a U-2plane of construction supposed tobe that of a gaseous diffusion plant,if anything, strengthens this surmise.A good guess about the Chineseachievement of an H-bomb is evenmore important than conjectureabout the rate of production of fissile materials. The AEC announce-ment expressed surprise that theyhad used the somewhat "advanced"trigger technique known as "implosion," which was invented intime for our first atomic bomb,tested at Alamagordo, two-and-a-half years after the founding of theLos Alamos laboratory where it wasconceived. This was the next stagefer the more primitive gun meth-°d of the Hiroshima bomb, whose^echanism of the preliminaryjhemical explosion was so nearlysure-fire" that it was used in warwithout testing.It is not surprising that the Crusse, working on an atomic bomb for many years, hâve mastered implosion, especially since they heardabout the rudiments of it. Theycould hâve worked on it while wait-ing for the slow accumulation offissile material or development ofthe production facilities.The same is true to some extentof H-bomb techniques, which arepresumably much more advancedand subtle than implosion of A-bombs. The Chinese hâve longknown that H-bombs can be made,and hâve had information aboutsome of the spécial materials usedby the U.S. We may assume thatthe Soviets hâve not told them moreabout this aspect of nuclear tech-nology. In some respects, the hard-est part of the préparation of thèsematerials is the achievement of fissile material, which they hâve al-ready demonstrated in their A-bomb. Thus, because they hâve hadso long to think about it and to prépare other spécial materials whileawaiting the fissile material, it isentirely possible that their first H-bomb test may follow their A-bombmore quickly than has been thecase in any other country. On theother hand, the long delay betweenthe French A-bomb and the antici-pated first French H-bomb suggeststhat the Chinese may also hâve difficultés in producing the spécialmaterials required. The Chinesesituation is quite différent from theFrench. The much less advancedindustrial and scientific base inChina may be largely compensatedby earlier décision and a moredictatorial allocation of resourcesand by the Russian assistance innuclear technology while aid waswithheld from the French.The comf orting thought has beenwidely expressed that the Chinesewill not hâve serious delivery cap-abilities for nuclear weapons forquite a few years. We should be onguard against our perennial tend-ency to underestimate the capabili-ties of unfriendly nations that wedo not know very well. The oldslogan "remember Pearl Harbor"could be followed by "rememberGeneral Groves' estimate that itwould take the Russians 25 yearsto develop an A-bomb" and "remember sputnik." It would be con- venient to know the Chinese better.At a trade fair in Japan the Chineseexhibited autos and large electricgenerators. They apparently do notmake fighter aircraft and are stilldépendent on those obtained fromthe Russians years ago. This maybe a question of capabilities or itmay be one of priorities. They mayhâve skipped the aircraft stage andmay be concentrating on missiles.It will be very serious, if we getthat far, when the Chinese hâveenough missile-delivered H-bombsto reach the level of nuclear "saturation," with the capability of de-stroying so many targets in a largecountry that there isn t much ofimportance left to destroy. Thismight require a missile capacitycomparable to our présent one. Itis probably legitimate to take somecomfort that the Chinese will presumably not reach effective parityfor well over a décade. But whetherit will be more than five years before the Chinese develop the missile capability to destroy severalAmerican cities is open to somequestion. Be it five years or ten,this stage will constitute a rathereffective déterrent or even threatagainst the more cautious "hâve"nations that possess the power ofcomplète annihilation in return. Inthe meantime, even without missilecapability, the Chinese A-bomb hasa considérable "nuisance" value insituations where it is not clearwhether the opposing U.S. andUSSR déterrent capabilities canceleach other out. For example, itwould be possible now for the Chinese by stealthy marine delivery toeliminate a vital supply port in alocal war.The future with its increasingtechnological developments cornesup f as ter than we might like. Ourconcerns should anticipate at leasttwo décades ahead. In such a timethe large human and material po-tential of an upsurging China con-stitutes a nuclear threat so vastthat no effort should be spared toanticipate this threat. We shouldtry to provide incentives for Chinato be content with the status valueof belonging to the "nuclear club"without forcing her to invest in afull-scale nuclear weapons program.

Morse, a formerprofessor and dean at the University of Oregon Law School, wassharply critical of U.S. policy inSoutheast Asia. "The United Statesis in Vietnam in violation of everyprinciple of international law," hesaid, viewing the hostilities there a"civil war." Sen.

Despite its po-tential for much useful work, thebetatron was increasingly neglectedby University scientists in favor ofthe more powerful and more versatile 450 million electron-volt syn-chrocyclotron built at the FermiInstitute in 1951. The 200-ton betatron was built at a cost of $450,000and would require more than double that amount to duplicate ittoday. The University was asking$100,000 for the atom-smasher andwas willing to throw in 300 tonsof concrète shielding as a bonus,a package deal for roughly tencents a pound. Inquiries came fromuniversities across the nation andfrom several foreign countries, butapparently all were merely windowshopping.Clément Mokstad, Assistant tothe Dean of the Division of thePhysical Sciences, said, "Perhapswe should hâve realized that noinstitution, acting on its own, couldafford such a pièce of equipment.Most atomic research is govern-ment-supported. For good reasons,institutions find it very hard to geteither local or national financing forused equipment. The betatron, despite the improvements made onit over the years at Chicago, had to be classified as a pièce of second-hand goods."The betatron has been complete-ly dismantled and the parts stored,sold, or put to use in the University's research facilities and at Ar-gonne National Laboratory. "It'stoo bad," Mokstad said. "The betatron had improved with âge. However, it no longer suited our research purposes, and we couldn'tfind anyone who wanted a genuineatomic-age bargain."CITATION-At a spécial luncheonin his honor at the Quadrangle Clubon February 20th, Léo Wallach(left) received from Dr. Lowell T.Coggeshall, Vice-Président for Spécial Assignments, a citation "in récognition of his profound, long-continued, enthusiastic, devoted support of the Gastroenterology sectionof the Department of Medicine."Mr. Wallach, Président of ModemManagement Company, which opérâtes hôtels in Chicago and otherMidwestern cities, has been volun-tarily engaged for many years in asolo fund-raising campaign formédical research at the University.Funds raised through his effortshâve been used to support a research team and to remodel andequip four gastrointestinal labora-tories at Billings hospital. Mr. Wallach had no connection with theUniversity until eighteen years ago,when his son, Howard, contracted astubborn gastrointestinal disorderand was admitted to Billings Hospital. During the year of treatmentnecessary for his son's recovery, Mr.Wallach became interested in research on the disease and dedicatedhimself to raising funds to helpother victims. FORECAST STUDY-What i,probably the most comprehensivestudy to date of short-term économie forecasting will be soon corn.pleted by Victor Zarnowitz, Professor of Finance in the GraduateSchool of Business. A preliminaryreport on the two-year study, whichis sponsored by the National Bureauof Economie Research, reveals thatforecasters as a group fail to foreseeshifts in the direction of économiemovements and underestimate bothincreases and decreases in nationaléconomie activity. The two chiefcauses of error: "underestimationbias" on the part of forecasters, andlack of accurate information aboutprevailing économie conditions.One-f ourth to one-third of the errorsmade by those predicting the GrossNational Product were due to errorsin estimation of the current économie "base.""The économie future alwayscontains a random élément— unex-pected strikes or government décisions— and no one expects forecasters to predict this. ... a perfectforecast should predict the sys-tematic part— the predictable part-of the future," said Mr. Zarnowitz.Computors, moreover, don't alwaysdo a better job. "Our study indi-cates that forecasters generallymake better prédictions than thosederived by simple mathematicalmethods for periods up to nine or12 months. But for forecasts cover-ing 12 months or longer, mathematical extrapolations — which are lessexpensive and can be done by computers—do better than human judg-ment," said the professor.For his study, Mr. Zarnowitzchecked the performance of eightsets of forecasts issued by banks,business firms, and groups of forecasters between 1947 and 1963, allof which were issued regularly overa period of at least ten years. Theforecasts studied involved some 600business, académie, and government economists; the most accurateforecasts generally were issued bythe staffs of private firms.Mr. Zarnowitz, who has been onthe faculty since 1959, is a nativeof Lancut, Poland, and he receivedhis PhD in économies from the University of Heidelberg, Germany, in1951.22 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE APRIL, 1965ED1JCATING MISFITS-A five-year research program designed todirect mentally, emotionally, or cul-turally handicapped students toftelp one another become productive learners has been initiated atthe University. Heading the program is Herbert Thelen, PhD'44,Professor of Education, who hasbeen granted $230,000 from theNational Institutes of Mental Healthfor the program.The study will deal with 5ththrough 7th grade students in theMiddle School of the UniversityLaboratory Schools and a corres-ponding group from a Chicago public school.After problem children — thosewho don't fit comfortably withinusual classroom groups— are iden-tified, they will be grouped accord-ing to their difficulties. Thèse groupsof from 15 to 18 students will meetan hour a week under the guidanceof a trained adult leader. After dis-cussing their feelings about learn-ing, the youngsters will break intosmaller groups. "If the small group'goofs off,' as frequently happens,we might consider introducing aspécifie activity, with attendant re-sponsibility. This activity couldrange from a student opinion sur-vey to volunteering as a group tohelp with the care of younger children," said Mr. Thelen. Among theprogram's innovations is a plan touse older students who hâve faceddifficulties similar to those of a certain group. This "resource person"will, by reporting his expérience tothe group, help alleviate the "threatof the unknown."The plan "calls for the minimumpossible adult intervention, it invites coopération from teachers ina non-threatening way, and it maybe systematically extended to allchildren in 'opening up' learningabout self and human relations asan explicit major objective of éducation," said Mr. Thelen. "(It) isthe only one so far proposed thatwould be applicable across theboard to maladapted persons in institutions: children in school, patients in recovery and psychiatrieWards, workers in factories, prison-ers, and so forth."Mr. Thelen, who has been a University faculty member since 1945, is the author of Education and theHuman Quest (Harpers, 1961), Dynamics of Groups at Work ( U of CPress, 1963 ) , and several other pro-fessional books and articles.Président George W. Beadlevisited Johns Hopkins University inBaltimore on February 22nd, the89th anniversary of the founding ofthe institution, to deliver the Commémoration Day address and to re-ceive an honorary Doctor of Lawsdegree. He also found the trip anopportunity to visit an old friend,William D. McElroy, Professor andChairman of the Department ofBiology, who presented PrésidentBeadle for the honorary degree. Inhis address, entitled "Man and HisInheritance: Biological and Cul-tural," Président Beadle comparedman's ponderously slow biologicalévolution with his swif t and réversible cultural évolution. PrésidentBeadle emphasized the importanceof the advances in our knowledgeof biological inheritance in the pasttwenty years, and he pointed outthat the suggestion that we utilizethis knowledge to direct man's évolution, as is done with domesticplants and animais, "raises moraland ethical questions of the mostdifficult kind."
