Ail of ourenergy is being expended in Viet Nam . . .""Would you care to outline some of thèse other problems?""Internationally, there is the larger question of China . . ."T-A^ he dialogue was initiated by scholars deeply con-cerned with matters affecting the nation. The man theyconfronted was Théodore C. Sorensen, Président Kennedy'sSpécial Counsel and author of the recently published study,Kennedy.That informai session was the first example of the newly-founded University of Chicago Academy for Policy Studyin action.Three days later, on February 25, Président George W.Beadle formally announced the establishment of theAcademy, a new institution formed by 29 Fellows, drawnfrom the faculty, to provide a forum for the examination ofmajor issues.The Academy's main event for 1966-67 is an intensivestudy of China. It began Mardi 2 with the visit of JérômeAlan Cohen of the Law School of Harvard University anda specialist on the Chinese légal System. The study will continue with a critical examination of many facets of Chineseculture and politics, including trade, government structure,military organization and ambition and potential, nuclearcapability, and scientific and educational development. Western and Chinese foreign policies will be studied by leadingscholars and non-academic experts from the United Statesand abroad.Président Beadle, in announcing the Academy's formationas a major event in the University's 75th Anniversary observance, said:"The Academy will provide intensive, constructive, andbroadly-based examinations of major policy problems. Welook forward to thèse conférences, in which leaders frommany fields will gather with scholars on this Midwesterncampus to discuss in depth matters of critical importance."Beside the séries of monthly seminars and conférences de-voted to the yearly main topic, the Fellows of the Academy will meet to discuss public afïairs with leading figures frompublic life.Mr. Sorensen was the first guest at one of thèse informaisessions. The discussion touched on such issues as the rela-tionship between the Président and the State Departmentpower in the Executive Branch of the Government, and therôle of the Présidents scientific adviser. Mr. Sorensen wasplied with such questions as the value of creating in th&White House a microcosm of each department of the Executive Branch, and whether Président Kennedy had intendedto carry through a change in stance toward China.Other distinguished figures hâve been invited to the Mid-way for longer and more public visits, in the Academy'sattempt to build a stronger relationship between public andacadémie life.At the same time, the year-long study of China continues,Professor Cohen, who lived for one year in Hong Kong,spent 24 hours on the campus moving from informai sessions!with students and faculty to a public lecture open to theentire community.He discussed China's attitude toward international law withSoia Mentschikofï, Professor of Law at The University ofChicago Law School. A tape of that dialogue will be releasedto 100 radio stations and ofïered to other institutions aroundthe nation.Ten Chicago faculty members whose fields relate to Pro^fessor Cohen's questioned him over lunch on his investigations of the Chinese Government' s use of criminal processto control the people politically. Mr. Cohen noted that,before Nikita S. Khrushchev's de-Stalinization campaign,the Chinese emulated the Soviet System. They then movedtoward an adaptation of traditional (Chinese) and Sovietéléments. His public lecture in the late afternoon concernedthe government' s active rôle in administering the law as anattempt to subject local groups to greater control. AcademyFellows, selected students, and guests from the Chicago légaland business community dined with Professor Cohen anddiscussed problems of attempting to do research on a fieloas officially closed to Western eyes as modem China. Professor Cohen recalled the many interviews he conducted mRight: Théodore C.

Halperin, author of Communist China andArms Control (with D. Perkins), Limited War in theNuclear Age, and China and the Bomb, will be the Academy's next guest. Halperin will discuss the Chinese attitudetoward nuclear war at an afternoon seminar of faculty andstudents in late April and give a public lecture-discussion onrécent trends in Peking's foreign policy in the evening. Informai gatherings with Fellows of the Academy, other Chicago faculty, students, government officiais, and selectedguests from the Midwest are scheduled during the day. Professor Halperin will be followed in May by A. DoakBarnett, of Columbia University. Professor Barnett is anexpert on local government and politics on the Mainland,and on the Sino- American confrontation. He spent the pastacadémie year in Hong Kong.Thèse sessions, and others led by government officiais, willbe followed by two cumulative conférences in late Januaryand early February, 1967. The two cumulative conférences,will tie together the monthly meetings and provide an oppor-tunity for an overall, balanced appraisal of modem China.The first of the major international meetings will deal withFellows of The University of Chicago Academy for Policy StudyRobert M.

It will matchleading historians specializing in pre-1949 China withscholars whose studies involve modem China and the Communist movement there. Scholars from the United States,Canada, and overseas already hâve accepted invitations toparticipate and contribute original papers.The second cumulative conférence will follow immediatelyafter the first. It will bring together scholars and non-academic experts to examine and clarify spécifie areasconcerned with "China, the United States, and Asia." A différent core of international scholars and statesmen, distin-guished scientists, business leaders, and journalists hâvecommitted themselves to attend the five days of meetings.Academy Fellows and other University faculty membersfrom law, économies, sociology, physical and biologicalsciences, and other disciplines will join the sessions.Fellows of the Academy now are discussing possible topicsfor study during 1967-68. The sélection probably will be adomestic issue with international ramifications.7A- he Academy for Policy Study evolved from nearly fiveyears of discussion among faculty members. It arose from asensé of need to set forth and clarify major problems ofpolicy. Reports from faculty committees stressed the needto relate the theorist with the "doer," the academician withthe formulator of policies. The désire to convey thèse activités to the public in a meaningful way also was emphasized.A January, 1963, faculty mémorandum envisioned theAcademy's purposes as involving the Académie communityin study and discussion of important public problems; pro-viding a forum for collaboration in an académie settingamong public citizens, leaders in government and the professions, and scholars from various disciplines; contributingto a clarification of the problems which the nation faces; andrewarding public leaders and scholars for significant contributions tothe resolution of public problems.The 29 faculty members selected by Provost Edward H.Levi for appointment as Fellows of the Academy spannearly ail the major areas of study at the University.Mr. Levi also named Charles U. Daly, University Vice-Président for Public Affairs and a former assistant to Prési dents Kennedy and Johnson, to be Director of the Academy.Mr. Daly has said that the Academy itself will not attemptto set policy, but will "subject policies to analysis by men ofdiverse opinions.""The Academy won't 'play safe' by avoiding sënsitive ortough problems," he said, citing as an example the currenttopic of China. Mr. Daly said he felt the University's uniqueposition of independence and its past history of involvementin public affairs, as well as its géographie location, made itparticularly well suited as a setting for the Academy.The Academy, he said, had three targets : scholars and non-academic experts seeking fresh approaches and new ideas;policy makers; and the gênerai public.Papers submitted for discussion and the edited transcriptsof most proceedings will be published by The University ofChicago Press. Apart from, but related to, its scholarly conférences, the Academy will endeavor to promote under-standing and thoughtful action through public lectures, andthe careful placement of its proceedings in magazines andnewspapers, as well as the publication of books. Selectedproceedings will be programmed for radio and télévision.Presiâent Beadle, Provost Levi, and Mr. Daly are membersof the Academy's executive council. The other members areChauncy D. Harris, Professor of Geography; D. Gale Johnson, Professor of Economies and Dean of the Division ofthe Social Sciences; Richard C. Lewontin, Professor of Zo-ology and Associate Dean of the Division of the BiologicalSciences; William R. Polk, Professor of History and Chairman of the Committee on Near Eastern Studies; John A.Simpson, Professor of Physics and in the Enrico Fermi Institute for Nuclear Studies; George J. Stigler, Charles R.Walgreen Distinguished Service Professor of Economies andin the Graduate School of Business, and Robert E. Streeter,Professor of English and Dean of the Division of theHumanities.Academy Fellows Ping-ti Ho, James Westfall ThompsonProfessor of History and author of The Ladder of Success inImpérial China, and Tang Tsou, Associate Professor ofPolitical Science and author of America' s Failure in China,1941-50, hâve been instrumental in planning the "ChinaYear."During the next five years, approximately 25 individualsfrom outside the University will be invited to serve asFellows. D5What Knowledge is Most Worth Having?From left: Robert C. Sorensen; Richard J. Smith; Robert C. Upton i.n the 75th anniversary year, a number of developmentshâve provided a focus for the expression of the unique spiritof the University. The sensé of "rededication" that PrésidentBeadle called for during the anniversary observance is par-ticularly évident in the Collège, which is engagcd in a spiriteddialogue on the curricula which will be instituted when thereorganization goes into effect next autumn.To give ail interested persons an opportunity to share inthis dialogue, a week-long séries of conférences on the Collège were convened at the end of January. The title for theconférence week expressed its central thème; and it was cast,charactcristically of Chicago, as a question: "What Knowledge is Most Worth Having?" Collège classes were recessedfor the week, and lectures and formai and informai seminarsfor faculty and students were arranged.But, again characteristically, the University did not stopat the boundaries of the campus. It was recognized that, topréserve what Provost Edward H. Levi has called the Uni-versity's "spirit of unifying purpose and community," thealumni also should be consulted. When the Alumni Committee for the 75th Anniversary conceived the idea for aconférence of leading alumni to complément the CollègeConférence, prompt approval was forthcoming. In his letterof invitation to the alumni participants, Président Beadlewrote, "We are convinced that thoughtful reflection by con-cerned alumni on problems of libéral éducation can be ofreal value to the University. Their judgments about theirCollège expérience from their présent perspectives are ofgreat interest to those of us directly involved in the Collègeas it is shaped for the future."The 75th Anniversary Alumni Conférence on the Collègewas held January 28-30, preceding the Collège Conférence,which began on the evening of January 30. Wayne C. Booth,Dean of the Collège, said, "Many alumni, hère and else-where, complain that they are invited to the University onlyfor social occasions or for fund-raising. This is an effortto give the alumni an opportunity for an educational rela-tionship with the Collège." THE ALUMNI CONFERENCErriving alumni were greeted at the University's Centerfor Continuing Education by Dean Booth, who outlined theworking plan for the conférence : the participants would be6divided into four groups consisting of fifteen alumni andthree faculty members, one of whom would act as informaidiscussion leader. The participants were urged to minimizeréminiscences for their own sake and to pursue the mostserious sensé of the two-fold question: "From my présentperspective, in what ways was my Collège expérience ( 1 )most valuable, and (2) least valuable for me?"Dean Booth invited them to consider some of the ideaswhich the Curriculum Committee had expressed in its pre-liminary report: that éducation should be regarded not as amean to some future goal, but as a worthwhile end in itself-as a "self-justifying expérience"; that, in fact, the philosophy which stipulâtes éducation as a requisite for any kindof professional "success" in life is to be shunned; that theonly successful collège is one which "finally renders itselfsuperfluous" by educating men "who can and will learn bythemselves and think for themselves" ; and that, specifically,students should very early be shown that the so-called "hardtacts" in every field "are subject to interprétation and con-troversy and even— in the hands of philosophers— to radicalskepticism."In tho group sessions, the alumni covered a wide range ofsubje s in a variety of ways. Chicago graduâtes from 1 908to 1%4, from eighteen states and many occupations, offereda diversity of viewpoints. Following are some of the remarksmade in the various groups."Students today are a eut above what we were."''Collège studies helped me learn how to think. Once I wason the verge of taking a job I didn't really want, in a city Ididn't like, and I was able to stop, take stock of the situation,and reach a décision which has been important to my life."'The acquisition of knowledge stimulâtes the thirst formore knowledge.""I got a tremendous amount of knowledge of man in theworld, past and présent, which has helped me a great deal inunderstanding current problems.""I remember a course in biochemistry that I thought wasvMy poorly taught. The teacher spoke with a thick accent,seemed disorganized, was frequently absent. Two years laterIfound that he had won a Nobel prize!""I see a danger that récent professional graduâtes may be"ifluencing our educational thinking for the worse by project-lng their own identity anxicties onto the student." Arthur A. Baer and Robert E. MerriamH. E. F. Donohue makes a point to members of his group."The Collège should allow room for the student to pursuea serious détour without threat of reprisai.""The thing that was great about Chicago was how we weretaught, not what wc were taught. I learned to be skepticalquizzical, analytical.""I found my expérience in extracurricular activities to beexcellent training in leadership, expérience which has servedme better in the business world than my training in physicsand chemistry.""We need less sharp engineers and scientists, and more realpeople.""Specialists should study subjects unrelated to their fields.""In my Collège days we heard survey lectures by tremen-dously vital and stimulating scholars. The expérience wasunforgettable.""Our teenagers ail want to take LSD, just to see whathappens. They're very curious about how they think andfunction. How are we to cope with such pathological self-consciousness?""This conférence may not hâve helped the faculty much,but it was certainly good therapy for the alumni.""The University gave me the intellectual equipment tomake every phase of my life 'the best phase of ail.' '"Décisions in government are rarely made on the basis ofconvictions acquired in school.""To incorporate the values of gênerai éducation into aspecialized course— to teach the student 'how to learn'— youhâve to set the course up with this précise goal in mind. Youhave to work at it. The instructor in calculus, for example,has to get his students to question authority, even his own.Tcaching straight specialized content is ineffective in accom-plishing the broader aims unless the intellectual method isappropriate.""Our curriculum must try to accommodate two kinds ofstudents— the one already dedicated to a particular disciplineand goal, and the one who wants to take as long as he canto make up his mind.""Collège gave me the assurance I needed to feel free tomove into new areas. This is becoming increasingly important.""Ultimately every man is a political animal. The real question is whether you are going to try to give some order tothe potpourri of fragmented knowledge or allow people towander through the world with a disjointed metaphysic." Prof. Robert Platzman; Dr. C. Larkin Flanagan; Mrs. Calvin Sawyiet"For purposes of the curriculum the distinction must bemade between learning science and learning about it.""An overemphasis on structure and form in the curriculumcan only lead to a kind of bureaucratie stultification. Administrative procédures tend to paralyze an institution and todestroy the climate of free intellectual enquiry which is theinstitution's most precious asset. The University should bewhat it was for me— a great, lavish banquet table which students approached for what they wanted and left what theydidn't want. What was good in the University was never theproduct of rigid adhérence to a methodology.""Fil tell you what many members of the faculty are sayingon this question. They say that the best éducation is thatwhich takes place between a teacher and a student, bothexcited about the same material. Why not abolish structurealtogether, they say, and carry the thing to its logical extrême? The faculty is generally sympathetic to this view.""Yet even this sort of thing cannot be legislated. A university cannot operate successfully by coercion. It can, however,do what I think it did for me: It slowed down my impetustoward a goal which seemed very clear, but had been chosenprematurely. The 'banquet' was not only there, there was agood deal of subtle pressure on us to partake of it. 1 was.Sperhaps unconsciously, made to feel that if I didn't, I wasmissing something tremendous. The University must createthe climate which exerts this pressure to partake and whichmakes the significance of the various dishes clear to thediners. The atmosphère must be excited, charged-up. If it is,this will be a great place."A£ jLt a luncheon meeting on Saturday, conférence participât s were addressed by Calvin P. Sawyier, '42, AM'42, apartner in the Chicago law firm of Winston, Strawn, Smith& Pattcrson. As a member of the Hyde Park-Kenwood Community Conférence, the Southeast Chicago Commission, andthe Metropolitan Housing and Planning Council, and as aformer member of the Law School Faculty, Mr. Sawyier hasmaintained an association with the University since his un-dergraduate years. He spoke, therefore, with the authorityof long expérience on what the University has meant to him.Mr. Sawyier said:"I do not and cannot consider myself an educated person.Th> is not, however, the fault of the University. Indeed, Icon :der my récognition of this fact to be the great virtue ofCalvin P. Sawyier addressing the luncheon session. my éducation hcrc. For what the University gave me, firstof ail, was a firm conviction that a collège éducation does not,except in a very limited sensé, make one a rcpository ofknowledge. I was not left with even a pretense to such afeeling. What the University has given me is an awarenessof the genuine necessity for the processes of intellectualdoubt. It was the climate of unremitting questioning ofeverything, old or new, that purported to be true, whichimpressed me as constituting what the University was andwhat it still is to me. I hâve the abiding impression of theUniverity as a place where the soundness of your own ideasand of the ideas you were learning about were put to therelentless and impartial scrutiny of honest— somtimes antagonisme— intellectual doubt."Intellectual doubting, I think, became a way of life, wasthe way of life of the University, and is the way of life it leftwith me. This is not intellectual inquiry for the purpose ofsoaking up knowledge, but only for the purpose of determin-ing whether it is knowledge. It made no différence who youwere or what you stood for: your ideas and discourse wereacceptable insofar as they contributed to the scrupulouslyuncompromising dissection of the subject at hand. This, itseems to me, was the real life blood of the University."Whatevcr may be the curriculum and the administrativedevices adopted by the présent University administrationafter hearing our words of wisdom, let us impress uponthose in charge that the University must continue to find itssoûl— that intangible thing which its students can share longafter their years on the campus— in its détermination to provide a pervasive environment of intellectual doubt, whichbrooks no compromise with convenience, convention, orexpediency. If anything results from this conférence, I hopeand trust it will be a conviction that, even in thèse days ofopulent student enrollment and government grants, the University should not become a 'fat cat.' "V^^n Sunday morning the conférence resumed with agênerai meeting of ail participants to hear the conclusionsreached by the four groups. In a panel discussion moderatedby Ranlet Lincoln, Director of Alumni Affairs, a représentative of each group summarized its proceedings. The fourspokesmen were: Brownlee W. Haydon, '35, assistant to the9président of the RAND Corporation, Santa Monica, Calif.;Justice Stanley Mosk, '33, XL'35, of the California SuprêmeCourt; William R. Sparks, '46, an assistant to the Présidentof the United States; and Daniel C. Smith, '38, JD'40, gênerai counscl of the Weyerhaeuser Company, Tacoma, Wash.The following remarks are extractcd from their reports ofthe conclusions reached in their groups:Mr. Haydon: "The use of knowledge is often unexpected atthe time it is acquired. The knowledge most worth having isthat which you least want. The knowledge most worth trans-mitting is non-transmittable. The best thing a collège can dois to try to give students what the faculty most wants to teach.Anyway, the things that the University has given us that wefound of value were: skepticism, presumption, the nerve tochallenge accepted views, a way to attack problems, and theknowledge of analytical methods. We reached a consensuson the following points: the University must do whatevernecessary, regardless of cost, to assure that the faculty is thebest possible; the University should not force, or even permit, an early commitment to a specialty— such a commitmentshould be postponed as long as possible; the Collège shouldmaintain the gênerai libéral éducation courses as the founda-tion of its curriculum; undergraduates should be exposed,whenever possible, to the best scholars and teachers in the Divisions; extracurricular activities should be encouragedbut not legislated or forced."Justice Mosk: "The tradition of requiring broad acquaint-ance with a diversity of knowledge should be continued inthe Collège. However the spread of knowledge is undertakenit is important that the student be confronted with conflictinghypothèses. The curriculum should reflect a récognition ofthe fact that business and government prefer to train theirown 'experts,' and that they demand only 'those who hâvethe tools to learn.' The hope was expressed that if a graduateshould, like Rip Van Winkle, suddenly wake up in 1986, heshould still be an educated person, or at least be equipped tolearn readily what is necessary to make him one."Mr. Sparks: "The changes which are being made in theCollège should not be looked upon as a rctreat from thewonderful days that produced us, but rather as a desperateattempt by the faculty to préserve as much as possible thespirit of those halcyon days. There was a good deal of un-resolved tension in our group on the gênerai question ofspecialization vs. generalization. Someonc said that it wasa regrettable error to hold back the young scientist, say, fromhis goal, just to fill his head with a lot of 'libéral junk.' It wassuggested in opposition to this view that the man does hâvecertain qualifies in common with ail human beings, and thatBradley H. Patterson, Jr., delivers an opinion at the gênerai session.Spokesmen reporting the conclusions of their groups at the gênerai session: (from left) Daniel C. Smith;William R. Sparks; C. Ranlet Lincoln, moderator; Brownlee W . Haydon; Justice Stanley Mosk.unless those qualities are developed in his undergraduateyears, the resuit can be just as disastrous for him as forsociety at large. We did agrée on this : that whatever is donein the Collège, some elbow room should be left for the 'seri-ous détour' by a student during the course of his académiecare r. If he cornes in planning to be a lawyer, then changesovei to biology, he will be a better biologist. If he shouldcorne back to law, he will end up a better lawyer. The Collègeshould not restrict this kind of major-switching."Mr. Smith: "Our discussion was a very interesting dialecticin which every thesis was immediately followed by an anti-thesis— but we never really reached a synthesis. I was in-structed to deliver only one recommendation: believing thatthere is a need for a closer faculty-student relationship, andbelieving also that professors cannot be expected to enter-tain students in their homes, we recommend unanimouslythat Hutchinson Commons be reopened as a convenientplac. for students and faculty to conduct informai discourse.[Editor's Note: This has been accomplished.] In addition,we reached a shaky consensus on a problem which our groupcalled 'aliénation'— generated by an inability to understandhuman behavior and much of our society's technology. Al-though we were unable to make spécifie proposais hère, weagreed that the Collège should try somehow to instill in itsstudents a better understanding of human psychology, at oneextrême, and of computer technology at the other. Related'o this problem is the argument of whether the Universityshould, as one man put it, 'provide a civilizing expérience which is separate from the jungle outside,' or whether itshould encourage total involvement with the world duringthe undergraduate years."A.t the adjourning luncheon on Sunday, January 30,Dean Booth addressed the alumni:"You ail know the plight F m in: there cannot possibly beanything left to say. You hâve made ail of the heart-warmingpoints about the value of libéral éducation that any educatorcould possibly want to make, and you hâve made them in aform and with a force that no educator could possibly emu-late. What is worse— or better, depending on one's point ofview— is that Professor Redfield in our last session stole myperoration. When he said that he did not know whether wecould succeed in preserving and extending the values oflibéral éducation at Chicago in this génération, but that hedid know that we were going to try, he expressed both thecaution and the passionate détermination that we ail feel,and that we yet find so hard to express."It remains only for me to say, then, that we hâve beendeeply impressed by what you hâve said hère. You hâveshown yourselves more aware than some of our colleaguesseem to be that the central question of libéral éducation isthe question of gênerai éducation— that is, the question ofwhat ail students must learn at the center of their éducation,regardless of their choice of specialties. Several times in this11conférence I hâve found you wrestling with the question ofthe nature of knowledge in our time. What is happening toknowledge itself? Is it really 'exploding,' as the cliché hasit, or are we moving to a time when the very drive towardfurther knowledge will provide forces that will serve to inte-grate and make collegiate éducation seem a more nearlypossible enterprise than it sometimes now seems? Regardlessof how we answer this question, you ail seem to hâve agreedthat our problem is not how to cover ail knowledge, or evenail désirable bits of it, but rather whether a collège can findforms of knowledge that will make coverage pointless be-cause it will produce graduâtes who can continue to educatethemselves. Again and again you hâve said that you valuedmost those expériences in collège which helped you learnhow to learn on your own and how to think for yourselves.One of you said that the question of the conférence shouldnot be 'What knowledge is most worth having?' but rather'What methodology is most worth mastering?' Calvin Sawyier put one part of this mastery well when he stressed, inhis talk yesterday, the knowledge of how to ask the rightskeptical questions. Only as a man learns how to ask why,how to doubt the answers other men hâve given, can he hopeto learn to inquire on his own. Someone else hère said thatwe learn how to learn by engaging in 'controversy aboutprinciples and premises,' and that this kind of controversymost marked, for him, the unique Chicago quality. One ofyou said that knowledge at Chicago became for you 'an expérience and not something just to hâve.'"Of course once we hâve agreed on such an emphasis, somebig questions remain. If the job is to teach our students howto learn on their own and how to think for themselves, westill hâve the task of deciding the what and the how. Theproportions of time spent learning how to deal actively withthe natural world, with man's nature, with man's artisticproducts, and with man's institutions are never finally set-tled, and it will scarcely surprise you to know that the facultyare now once again deep in controversy about what require-ments should be made of ail students."The question of what skills of thought are needed, then,remain unsettled; the question of how men ought to thinkis even more difficult. But I think it is impressive— especiallywhen one considers the legends one hears about the alumniof American collèges— that no one hère has even hinted thatit is our job to indoctrinate our students with this or that true Wayne C. Booth, Dean of the Collège, speaks to alumni.12political or moral or philosophical creed. Though you ailseem to value Chicago for having worked at the task ofteaching you to think, you ail seem grateful that your teachersknew the différence between éducation and indoctrination,between learning to think and learning to parrot."Perhaps it is this one thing about you as a group that hasmost impressed me during thèse few hours together : the factthat regardless of your génération you seem to hâve learnedat Chicago to value the life of the mind and to know thedifférence between using a university as a tool for this or thatpublic goal, however worthy, and building a university wheremen learn to think about their goals, public and private. Iwould say, in fact, that seeing you as you are— ten, twenty,thirty, nearly sixty years after graduation— has, as the theo-logians say, confirmed me in being: if what you are is in anydegree a product of what we try to do at Chicago, then thereis no enterprise with which a man could be more proud tobe associated."Trying to préserve and improve a libéral arts collège with-in a university is, as you hâve corne to understand, a terriblydifficult task. But you hâve recommitted us to that task, notonly by telling us in new ways of the importance of what weare attempting, but also by the living démonstration you provide of that importance. Nobody could talk with you for twodays without becoming convinced that a Chicago éducationhas made a serious différence in your lives. You are men ofcommitment who yet know the value of skeptical inquiry.You are men of the world who yet know the value of theacademy. You are men who hâve been able to find importantachievement in life and who can yet speak feelingly aboutthe importance of what was called 'the serious détour,' theplanned 'moratorium' on the pressures to specialize. Andyou are men who know the value of learning a spécial fieldin great depth and who can yet tell us that it was your gêneraiéducation that was your most important collège expérience."I began yesterday by hoping that our time hère would be'self-justifying' even if we achieved no practical results. Idon't know about you, but for me our hours hère hâve beenPrecisely the kind of self-justifying expérience I was talking*out. It will hâve, you may be sure, practical conséquences.And I think that they will be ail the more valuable becausew of us would want to hâve missed the expérience for its°Wn sake, even if we thought the whole thing stopped hère.For this, we of the faculty want to thank you." r I : THE COLLEGE CONFERENCE-JL he Libéral Arts Conférence on the Collège, like theAlumni Conférence, was entitled "What Knowledge is MostWorth Having?" "LAC," as it was quickly dubbed by theMaroon, had this, too, in common with its predecessor: itwas officially opened by Wayne C. Booth, Dean of the Collège, who was, if not the most prominent man on campusfor over a week, at least the busiest. Addressing himself toa variation on the central conférence question, the Deanasked, "Is There Any Knowledge That a Man Must Hâve?"On Monday afternoon, before a capacity audience in MandelHall, Mr. Booth enlarged upon his affirmative reply: "If weaccept the view that the only knowledge we must hâve is forself -préservation, we might as well pack up the Collège andsend it to the state universities." Knowledge other than thatnecessary for survival is essential "for the purpose of beinghuman. The knowledge a man must hâve is the knowledgenecessary to be human, and this is quite simply the capacityor power to act freely. And in an âge that confuses as oursdoes, to discover what it takes to be human is more difficultthan ever before." This, he said, is where the Collège cornesin: "Part of the purpose of a collège is to show one how tothink for himself. A man who cannot learn for himself isenslaved by his contemporaries."The Libéral Arts Conférence included major speeches byfive prominent educators from outside the University. Theywere Terry Sanford, former Governor of North Carolina,whose administration was noted for its concern with theneeds of éducation ("Politics, People and Education— butWhat About the People") ; Sir John Cockcroft, président ofthe Manchester (England) Collège of Science and Technology, a Nobel lauréate in physics, and a Fellow of the RoyalSociety ("A Transatlantic View of What Knowledge IsWorth Having") ; Anne Scott, associate professor of history,Duke University, and a member of the Présidents AdvisoryCouncil on the Status of Women ("Education and the Con-temporary Woman") ; Northrop Frye, Principal of VictoriaCollège in Toronto, Fellow in the Canadian Royal Society,and author of several books on literary subjects; and F.Champion Ward, former Dean of the Collège, now deputyvice président for international programs for the FordFoundation.In the opening conférence session on Monday, Mr. Ward13expressed the view that our educational system can benefitfrom the lessons of history and the expérience of other nations. In his lecture, "Returning Coals to Newcastle," theformer dean said that the question of what knowledge ismost worth having has been answered diff erently throughouthistory, and that sometimes the more momentus questionhas been, "who is worthy of such knowledge?" He cited theUniversity's own history as only one example of how viewsof éducation hâve changed over the years. "In Indian universities," he continued, "some gênerai éducation has been in-troduced, but it has been a bit difficult at times to convinceboth faculty and students that it is important. Similar situations hâve been encountered in Latin America and evenAfrica."Mr. Ward pointed to demands for a national system oféducation in the United States and noted that the four-yearcollège has served adequately to promote the main ends ofAmerican éducation. But he suggested several alternatives tothe présent system. One possibility is for a three-year coursein gênerai studies, with instructors specifically equipped forthis type of teaching, to be followed by three years of spe-cialization in a university. Although the basic plan could besubject to altération, Mr. Ward expressed the belief that thistype of system on a national scale would be the most practicaland efficient we could adopt."Knowledge of most worth is not something one has; it issomething one is." With thèse words Northrop Frye beganhis lecture, the second day of LAC, on "The Instruments ofMental Production." Mr. Frye held that knowledge cannotbe chosen, but that it is gained continually and unconscious-ly. "Actual scholarship," he stated, "is esoteric, almost con-spiratorial." He termed the distinction between labor andleisure the most important in human life, and said that theresults of their polarization in social classes are aliénationand waste. To prevent this polarization by creating a "juststate" has become the goal of libéral éducation, he said. Thisbegan with the Roman culture and was continued by theRenaissance humanists. According to Mr. Frye, the classicsprovided the humanists with ail knowledge which couldtransform society. The humanists envisioned two types oféducation— one for the aristocracy, which could change auseless leisure class into good rulers, and another, consistingof manual training, for artisans and laborers. But the Frenchand American Révolutions forced a change in this way of thinking. Carlyle reflected the change in his awareness of adivision between work and two forms of anti-work— dmdgeryand leisure— rather than just leisure.Now the situation is again changing, Mr. Frye maintained.The increases in leisure time efïected by technology, andthe trend toward ever narrower specialization hâve madethe necessity for gênerai éducation more acute. Technicaltraining becomes obsolète so quickly today that its value hasdecreased. Broad knowledge of the arts and sciences has become proportionately more important. General éducation,he said, can and should bring the student to recognize that"every field of knowledge is a center for ail knowledge,"f i ^JL he major speeches of the conférence were augmentedby a considérable number of informai student-faculty dinnersand seminars and lectures by distinguished faculty members.Among the latter were John R. Platt, Professor of Physics,on "Diversity"; Richard P. McKeon, Charles F. Grey Distinguished Service Professor of Philosophy and of ClassicalLanguages and Literature, on "The Battle of the Books";John A. Simpson, Professor of Physics and in the EnricoFermi Institute, on "Undergraduates and the Scientific Enterprise"; and James M. Redfield, Master of the CollegiateDivision of General Studies, on "Platonic Education: Crea-tivity and Method."The seminars, on an equally wide range of topics, were,from the student point of view, the most popular f eature ofthe conférence. The format for any one of them dependedupon the faculty members and students participating. Typi-cally, five or six students joined a faculty member in aprimary discussion while other students formed an audience.At some point the audience was asked to join the oebate.The Maroon later said, in an editorial, "The seminars anddinners were on the whole so successful that the institutionof regular events of this type throughout the year is nowcalled for. [They helped] establish the groundwork for doserstudent-faculty relations within the Collège sphère whichmust now be built upon."The man whose "Mémorandum on the Collège" had, twoyears before, initiated the séries of events which culminatedin the Libéral Arts Conférence, was the natural choice toconclude it. Provost Edward H. Levi's address, "The Rote14Edward H. Levi, Provost of the University of the Libéral Arts Collège Within the University," appraiscdthe value of the conférence and stressed the necessity forthe Collège as a "simplifying, questioning, and unifying influence," essential to the vitality of the University. Hc said:"Under fortunate circumstances, the Collège adds greatly tothe University's conception of an intellectual and culturalcommunity. The introduction of many minds into manyfields of learning along a broad spectrum keeps alive questions as to the accessibility, if not the unity, of knowledge.The choices made by those who are not fully committedmeasure the uses of scholarship, emphasize the relationshipsbetween scholarship and practical action, and underscorethe importance of contemplation and understanding. Thèsechoices encourage a reappraisal of the accustomed routines.Along the way the community has gained in interest and live-liness. The University is strengthened as an institution guidingits own growth through the persistence of questions, evenwhen the questions do not arise from the inner logic of aprotected subject matter. If the College's persistence in ask-ing 'what knowledge is worth having?' créâtes tension or distraction— and it does— the established order, on balance, canbe pleased nevertheless. For the drama of the Collège— anda compelling drama it is— is the miraculous transformation ofthe bright and untutored into minds of greater power throughthe victory of the disciplines. But it is a victory which knowsno loser, and a transformation which works its change uponthe disciplines themselves."It is good to know that the Collège again has found itsvoice; good to imagine also that this conférence, and otherswhich no doubt will follow, show that we can achieve mech-anisms for the spirited debate of the directions of knowledge,research, and instruction. As a corollary we should assist inevery way the efforts of the governing committees of the[new area| collèges to induce faculty to show— through thepréparation of materials, lectures, or even courses— that theiralternative approaches are serious responses to the needs oflibéral éducation. Our students are sturdy soûls. They willnot be ruined by conscientious efforts in their behalf. Theywill be rather pleased, I think, at a show of this much con-cern. They will understand, I think, that even the battle cryof 'Anyone for error?' (which, of course, means the oppositeof what it says) is an invitation to join in the serious workon the new collèges which will hasten the day when rightwill triumph." D15A Scientist's Debt to Michelsonby Luis W. AlvarezTJL he very close association that I've had over the yearswith Professor Michelson is traceable directly to my father'ssuggestion that I should go to The University of Chicago.When I left high school, I thought I was going to be a chemist,but my father knew more about me, and, although he didn'ttell me at the time, he was sure that I would become a physi-cist instead. To this end he had, during my high school years,apprenticed me to the chief instrument maker at the MayoClinic, where I spent two delightful summers learning machine shop practice from some real experts. My fatherdecided that the best collège for me would be The Universityof Chicago, since ail three of the American Nobel prize win-ners in physics had been closely associated with the PhysicsDepartment there, and two of them— Professors Michelsonand Compton— were still in résidence. Professor Millikan,the third member of the triumvirate, had moved on to thePresidency of Cal Tech.I spent my first two years at Chicago earning médiocregrades in chemistry, and it was not until I was a junior that Iwas introduced to the joys of physics by a wonderful teacher,Professor George Monk. Ail of a sudden I started doing wellin my courses, and I found that I was spending a good fraction of my time in the physics library. It wasn't long beforeI had read everything that Michelson had written, both inthe physics journals and in books. I looked forward with keenanticipation to his return from California, where he was atthat time measuring the velocity of light in a mile-longvacuum tube. (Michelson spent a good deal of his lifetimein the pursuit of more and more accurate measurements ofthe speed of light, and this interest was maintained until hislast days.) However, he died before he could return to Chicago, so I never had the pleasure of meeting, or even of see-ing, my first scientific hero.I really must remind myself that I actually never metMichelson in person, since most ail of my memories tell methat I knew him exceedingly well. In addition to having readeverything that he wrote, I spent many, many hours talkingwith ail of the men who worked with him on his experiments.I used the equipment in his private laboratory and did manyexperiments in the student laboratories, using equipmentwhich he had built and later discarded. As a student, I livedfor two years in what had been Michelson's home near theChicago campus, so that I saw some of Michelson's personalcharacteristics in the home he built. I was at that time an enthusiastic billiard player, and since Michelson was re-nowned on the campus as a player of almost professionalskill, I heard much of this side of his life as well.One of Michelson's closest collaborators was Henry Gordon Gale, the head of the physics department when Michelson died. Dean Gale let me use a basement room in RyersonLaboratory to make a 10-inch refleeting télescope. As hewatched me pushing my large glass blank back and forth byhand, hour by hour and day by day, trying to grind thesurface into an accurate parabolic shape, he took pity onme, and offered me the use of the beautiful grinding machinesin Michelson's old private laboratory. This was the "opensésame" to me, in that it led to my friendship with ail ofMichelson's former associâtes. Michelson was unusual inthat he did not collaborate with students, but instead workedwith a group of very compétent and loyal technicians, whomhe had trained himself. They not only built the magnificentlyaccurate optical apparatus that Michelson dreamed up butthey also made many of the measurements with the apparatusitself. It was a wonderful expérience for me when thèse finemen became my teachers in optics. They didn't think aboutoptical problems in a mathematical sensé, the way my physicsprofessor did, but they could usually corne up with the correct answer to a difficult question more quickly than theiracadémie friends. I hâve spent most of my adult life as anuclear physicist, so my friends are often surprised to findthat I know something about optics. When they ask me howI learned it, I hâve the pleasure of telling them that I had thebest teachers in the world: Professor Michelson's privateresearch associâtes.JL could spend many hours talking about how my goodfriend, Professor Michelson, whom I never met, influencedmy student and early scientific years. But I would like toturn now to the présent and future. I would like to tell youabout some expériences that I hâve had in the past year,which are much like some expériences that Michelson hadduring his busy scientific career.I believe that Michelson would hâve been interested in aset of experiments I am conducting now. The targets are theEgyptian pyramids. A burial chamber has been found ineach of the approximately 80 pyramids known in Egypt, but16Luis W. Alvarez, '32, SM'34, PhD'36, is professor of physics atthe University of California (Berkeley). In the five years beforeWorld War II, working with the Berkeley cyclotrons, he measuredthe magnetic properties of the neutron; discovered the présence ofthe mass 3 isotopes of hydrogen and hélium in the atmosphère:first proved experimentally the phenomena of électron capture bynuclei; produced the first separated isotope of mercury HglilNsuitahle for the standard light source; and made important designsfor the cyclotron, including improved magnets and the first arrangement for pulsed neutron sources. During the war, at the MITRadiation Laboratory, Professor Alvarez devised new antennaSystems and developed the Ground Control Approach system forradar, the high altitude bombing system, and a micro-wave earlywarning system. After the war he returned to Berkeley and waschiefly responsible for the design, construction, and use of the linearProton accelerator. Then, using liquid hydrogen bubble chambers,Professor Alvarez discovered and investigated the catalytic effects°f muon interactions with nuclei and several of the important"résonances" in high energy nuclear reactions. Last October he re-ceived the latest of his many awards and citations, the Third AnnualAlbert A. Michelson Award of the Case Institute of Technology.This article is adapted from his acceptance speech on that occasion. in no case at ail has a mummy or any possessions of thePharaoh been found in the chamber. Many of the pyramidsare so small and hâve been crisscrossed with so many tunnels,that one can be sure that no other burial chambers couldremain undiscovered in their depths. But several of the larg-est pyramids are so huge that it would be quite impossible toprobe them adequately with a séries of tunnels.In the Ninth Century A.D., it was discovered accidentallythat a magnificent séries of galleries and chambers existedin the upper reaches of the Great Pyramid of Cheops. Noneof them, however, contained the body of the king. Since thattime, most evcrybody has agreed that the body of the kingand ail his worldly possessions were stolen from the chambersoon after the pyramid was built. It seems more plausible tome, however, that as each new pyramid was built, the Egyp-tian architects grew more clever in hiding the true burialplace of their king. For example, the Second Pyramid atGiza, only a few hundred feet from the Great Pyramid, hasonly a single chamber known in its vast volume. This chamber looks to me as though it were a decoy. Modem archeolo-gists hâve apparently given up hope of finding anything abovethe ground floor because of the government prohibitionagainst digging and blasting.I realized that with modem techniques, borrowed from thefield of cosmic rays, one could actually make what amountsto X-ray photographs of the pyramids. There really isn't anyword in the English language to describe the process of prob-ing an almost solid structure of thick limestone with radiation. But physicists hâve long known that cosmic rays hâveremarkable penetrating properties. They are ideally designedto look for chambers in the pyramids. So, that's what we aregoing to do. I hâve been formally invited to join with Egyp-tian scientists to "X-ray" the Second Pyramid in the hopesof finding the king's burial chamber.Professor Michelson apparently felt that "ail work and noplay makes Jack a dull boy." He was a man of many interestsoutside physics; in addition to his billiards, he played tennis,he painted pictures and he played the violin. He also enjoyedapplying his knowledge of optics to areas outside physics.For example, the last chapter in his Studies in Optics is en-titled, "The Metallic Colors in Birds and Insects." If Michelson had not had his birds and insects, I might not hâve hadmy pyramids. That is the last of my many debts to ProfessorAlbert A. Michelson. D17Quadrangfe NewsNew Psychology Facilitics — New teach-ing and research quarters for the Department of Psychology were dedicatedon January 19, 1966. Beecher, Green,and Kelly Halls — formerly a dormitorycomplex at 5848 University— were ren-ovated to provide the department with itsfirst centralized facilities. The interiorsof the interconnected buildings were re-built at a cost of $1,300,000. The National Science Foundation aided the pro-gram with a grant of $490,800. EckhardH. Hess, Professor and Chairman of theDepartment, said at the dedication cere-mony, "Before this we were located in17 places around the campus, rangingfrom an apartment building to an armybarracks. It is very gratifying to be ableto move from such inadéquate housingto a really modem research center."When the reconstruction program wasannounced in 1963, Président Beadlesaid, "The Department of Psychology isone of the oldest and most eminent inthe University. Its académie traditiongoes back to John Dewey, who contrib-uted significantly to the psychology oféducation. The program for enlarged,modernized, and centralized facilitiesfor this faculty was undertaken to provide the utmost encouragement to itsimaginative investigations of the questions man raises about himself and hisbehavior."Tillich Mémorial— The Robert Lee Blaf-fer Trust, of New Harmony, Ind., hasannounced that it will undertake the disposition of the ashes of the late Paul Tillich in a spécial mémorial. Professor Til-lich's remains will be interred in PaulTillich Park in New Harmony, a sitewhich the theologian blessed duringPentecost of 1963. Professor Tillich hadcooperated in working out the détails ofthe park before his death. He had ap-proved the landscape design submittedby Robert Zion,. and had sat for a portrait bust by the eminent sculptor, JamesRosati. Mrs. Kenneth Dale Owen, a former student of Professor Tillich, is donorof the trust. Urban Design Lectures — Three lectureson "The Relation of Urban Design to theSocial Sciences" were recently presentedat the University by Myer Wolfe, Chairman of the Department of Urban Planning in the School of Architecture andUrban Planning at the University ofWashington. Mr. Wolfe has been a consultant, practitioncr, and teacher of urban planning for over 20 years, and hasdeveloped site designs for El Paso, Tex.,Fairbanks, Ala., and areas and cities inWashington, Montana, and Puerto Rico.Jack Meltzer, Director of the Center forUrban Studies at The University of Chicago, said Mr. Wolfe's lectures were thesecond part of a four-part séries on therôle of design in enhancing urban life.Eastey BlackwoodBlackwood Récital — Contemporarycomposer and pianist Easley Blackwood,Associate Professor in the Departmentof Music, drew praise from Chicagomusic critics for his Mandel Hall récital,February 22, of piano works by Ives andBoulez. Duplicating his achievement lastyear at Carnegie Hall — which impressedNew York critics — Mr. Blackwoodplayed from memory two works of extrême technical difficulty: the "Concord"sonata of Charles Ives and the SonataNo. 2 by Pierre Boulez. Mr. Blackwoodcalls the Boulez sonata "the first important 12-tone work not written by Schoen-berg, Berg, or Webern." The performance was lauded for going beyondtechnical mastery — a feat in itself — andgiving the works "insight and intensity."One critic referred to Mr. Blackwood asa "major artist," saying that "the twomost important piano récitals of the Chicago season to date hâve been given byArtur Rubinstein and Easley Blackwood." Dr. King Speaks — The Révérend Dr.Martin Luther King, Jr., winner of the1964 Nobel Peace Prize and chairmanof the Southern Christian LeadershipConférence, addressed members of theUniversity community on January 27,1966. His speech, entitled "The NegroFamily: A Challenge to National Action," was sponsored by the StudentGovernment's William B. Ogden Mémorial Lecture Séries and the Univer-sity's 75th Anniversary Committee. Dr.King said the main causes of the insta-bility of the Negro family are économiein nature, and called for a four-pointfédéral program to improve the économie situation. He emphasized thatthe Negro family is an educating anduplifting force in the struggle for civilrights, and suggested that "progress inthe movement can be negated by thedissolving of the family structure, and,therefore, social justice and tranquilitycan be délayed for générations."Dr. King traced the Negro family inAmerica back 300 years to the timewhen families were torn apart in theslave-selection process in Africa. Underslavery the institution of légal marriagedid not exist for Negroes, and "a matri-archy developed. After slavery, it did notdie out, because in the cities there wasmore employment for women than formen. The Negro maie existed in a largersociety which was patriarchal while hewas subordinate in the matriarchal sub-society." The resulting insecurity of Negro maies alone would hâve slowed thecultural progress of Negro children, ac-cording to Dr. King. But added to thisis the fact that Negro children hâvenever been given a fair chance: "In ailthe cities they are herded through gradesof schooling without learning; they playin crime-filled streets; and their parentsare too busy trying to earn a meagerliving to give them adéquate care." Thepicture looks bleak, Dr. King added, butit is not hopeless. "The Negro family isscarred, it is submerged, but it strugglesto survive. It is working against greaterndds than perhaps any other family expérience in ail civilized history. But it iswinning, because the causes of its présent crisis are culturally and socially in-duced. What a man has torn down, hecan rebuild."Dr. King's four-point proposai for économie reforms included an extension ofthe minimum wage to include those notnow covered; an increase in the wage to$1 .75 an hour; and massive public worksand retraining programs whose purposewould be to overcome job losses causedby automation.18Findings at Tell Mureybat — Evidenceindicating that ancient man settled invillages even before he learned to domes-ticate animais was presented January 19,at the University's Oriental Institute.Maurits Van Loon, Director of the Insti-tute's Euphrates Valley Expédition,spoke on "New Light from Syria on theBeginnings of Settled Life." Mr. VanLoon, who is secretary of the Muséumof the Oriental Institute, was in chargeof excavations at Tell Mureybat, Syria,ir 1965. This site has been occupied offand on for some 8,000 years, but soon isto be flooded during construction of anew dam across the Euphrates River.Mr. Van Loon's first expédition to therégion was made in 1964, when 56 settle-ments were discovered. The 1965 excavation work made use of a steppedtrench to explore thèse discoveries. Twohundred and forty square meters wereopened, exposing twelve building levels.According to Mr. Van Loon, approxi-mately two-thirds of thèse mounds gavee^dence of a civilization which was ina "pre-pottery" stage. He also indicatedvarious proofs of a settled existence.Using slides, he pointed out vertical pits,which he termed "bread ovens." He alsofound walls of houses equipped withpeepholes; dépressions in the pavementthat may hâve served as hearths; animais' jaws, perhaps sacrificially placed inthe walls; and traces of burials and skulls.In addition, seventy thousand pièces oftools, primarily flints, were uncovered.A few implements such as containersanH needles, and a few products of finerqtulity, designed with décorative motifs,also were among the findings.While évidence of domestication doesnot appear until about 6,000 B.C., Mr.Van Loon estimated that the pre-potterysettlement existed from about 10,000 toabout 6,000 B.C. He surmised that asubsistence economy, upheld by food-gathering and hunting, may well hâvebeen présent, although, he concluded,"there are still too many unknown fac-tors to say anything definite."Scientific Rainmaking— Cl ai m s by commercial cloud seeders that cloud seedingcan increase rainfall received partialsupport in a study reported recently bya University of Chicago scientist. RoscoeE. Braham, Jr., Associate Professor inthe Department of Geophysical Sciences, based his suggestion upon findings of Project Whitetop, a six-yearstudy of cloud seeding financed by theNational Science Foundation as part ofits national research program in weathermodification. The study indicates that cloud seeding,or stimulation, produces increases in theradar écho which signifies the develop-ment of raindrops. However, increasesin one area may induce a reaction inclouds in other areas, causing them toyield decreased écho and, presumably,less rain. "It is highly probable that theincreases and decreases in écho amountalso reflect changes in amounts of rainat the surface," Braham said. "It is logi-cal to think that rainfall gauges willshow similar trends."Braham presented his évidence in apaper delivered in October at the 244thNational Meeting of the American Me-teorological Society in Reno, Nevada.USPHS Grant— The Center for HealthAdministration Studies at The University of Chicago has received a grant of$1,117,065 from the Division of Community Health Services and the Divisionof Hospital and Médical Facilities of theU. S. Public Health Service's Bureau ofState Services. The grant will be received over a seven year period and willbe used to support a number of researchprojects investigating various aspects of médical care — sociological, sociopsycho-logical, économie, operational, and or-ganizational. Through thèse studies, research units at the Center hope to gainknowledge which will lead to improve-ments in hospital care, methods of fi-nancing médical care, physician practice,training of health administration personnel, and other related subjects. GeorgeBugbee, Director of the Center and Professor of Hospital Administration, said,"The primary purpose of the grant is tostabilize a staff and provide a continuingbase for research opérations. There hâvebeen great scientific advances in medi-cine, but methods of organization anddelivery hâve lagged in development.New breakthroughs in médical knowledge are useful only as they are broadlyapplied. It is hère that new forms andorganizations of delivering médical careare needed."The Center for Health Administrationwas established in 1964, to coordinatethe efforts of médical, social, and be-havioral scientists working toward im-proved médical care. It functions as partof the University's Graduate School ofBusiness.Candidates for Miss UC of 1966: Betty Chewning, Portland, Ore.; Susan Albert, Red Lodge,Mont.; Elizabeth Oleson, Beaverton, Ore.; EHzabeth Wallace, Davenport, la.; Janet Roede,LaGrange, III.; and Susan Sabor, Morristown, N.

She has been a member of the University faculty since 1938.Kimpton Honored — Lawrence A. Kimp-ton, former Chancellor of the University, was named an Officer of the FrenchForeign Légion of Honor at a réceptionin the International House, February 9,1966. Mr. Kimpton received a diplomaand a décoration from Jean Louis Man-dereau, the French Consul General inChicago. The award was made to Mr.Kimpton because of his encouragementof French scholarship while he wasChancellor. Some 100 guests were présent at the réception, including Mr. Kimp-ton's friends on campus and Officers andChevaliers of the French Légion ofHonor in the Chicago area.Faculty and Staff— Heinrich Kluver, theSewell L. Avery Distinguished ServiceProfessor Emeritus of Biological Psychology, has been awarded an honoraryMD degree from the University of Basel,Switzerland. A member of 24 scientificsocieties, Mr. Kluver received, in Sep-tember, 1965, the Gold Medal Award ofthe American Psychological Associationfor "brilliant, créative discoveries" inpsychology, neurophysiology, neurohis-tology, and psycho-chemistry. He hasbeen a member of the University's fac-.ulty since 1936.Alton A. Linford, AM'38, PhD'47, hasbeen reappointed Dean of the School ofSocial Service Administration at the University. He has held the position since1956 and is also a Professor in theSchool. Président Beadle, in making theappointment, said, "There is an increas-ing awareness of the importance of research and formai training in socialwelfare administration in our society. New fédéral and local programs are pro-viding many additional opportunities formen and women with académie back-grounds in social welfare studies. We arepleased to announce the reappointmentof Alton Linford. We are confident that,under his leadership, the School will continue to produce outstanding leaders inthe vital field of social work." Mr. Linford, a specialist in public welfare andsocial security administration, joined theUniversity's faculty in 1945 as an Assistant Professor.

Weiss, Professor of Bio-chemistry, has received the AmericanChemical Society's Award in EnzymeChemistry sponsored by Charles Pfizer& Co., Inc. Dr. Weiss and his co-workershâve dqne pioneering work in the fieldof molecular biology by helping to clarify the processes by which an individual'sinherited characteristics find their expression in the body through thechemical behavior of the body cells.Specifically, they hâve isolated an enzyme called RNA polymerase, whichplays an essential part in the chemicalreactions by which the hereditary information contained in the genetic mate-rial DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) istransferred to a second substance, RNA(ribonucleic acid). After first isolatingthis enzyme from a type of bacteriaknown as M. lysodeikticus, Dr. Weisswas able to demonstrate its activity intest-tube experiments as well as in thebacterial cells. He showed that the actionof the enzyme in producing RNA isvery spécifie and that the RNA producedis a mirror image of the DNA.Frederick P.

Thisfinal match was called one of the finestever, both in sportsmanship and skillfulplay. Niederhoffer, who is one of theyoungest players to win the title, learnedto play squash racquets at Harvard andwas intercollegiate champion there in1964.21ProfilesRobert H. EbertRobert H. Ebert, dean of the HarvardUniversity Médical School, was raisedin an académie family. His father, agraduate of Rush Médical Collège, hadtaught at a South Dakota high schooland eventually became professor of der-matology at the University of Illinois.His mother was a high school teacher ofEnglish and Latin, and his brother, Richard, is professor of medicine at the University of Arkansas.During his undergraduate years at TheUniversity of Chicago, Robert Ebert de-bated between the study of law and medicine and took the preliminary coursesfor both. Since his family had exposedhim thoroughly to science, he wanted tobe sure that medicine was not simply"the easy thing to do." He based hisultimate décision on the belief that "medicine makes a more direct contributionto human welfare (since lawyers areusually more remote from the changes inlaw that can effect this) through scientific contributions, and even more important, through direct involvement withpeople."In his first year at The University ofChicago Médical School, he was award-ed a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford.There, from 1936 to 1939, he completeda doctoral program in expérimental path-ology under the distinguished Nobel lauréate, Lord Florey. He recalls his Oxfordyears as providing the influences whichmost clearly shaped his subséquentcareer. What he learned about médicalresearch and the fine art of teaching heattributes to Lord Florey, who taughthim, he says, "to love working with myown hands in the laboratory . . . to baseloyalty to one's colleagues on mutual respect . . . [and to] show compassion foryounger colleagues. In everything I didI was taught by precept to be critical andto demand proof." In Europe, too, Dr. Ebert met EmilyHirsch, a girl from Kansas City who hadstudied at Radcliffe and was taking aMaster of Arts degree in English Literature at Oxford's St. Anne's Collège.Their first encounter was actually inFlorence in 1 937, where he took her toa symphony concert and out for what hecalls "an Italian version of an Eskimopie." They were married in 1938 in Oxford.On his return to the United States, afterreceiving his MD from The Universityof Chicago in 1942, Dr. Ebert appliedfor an internship at the Boston City Hospital. After an internship and assistant residency there and two years of activeduty in the Navy, he returned to Chicago in 1946, as assistant in the Department of Medicine. In nine years he roseto full professor. A year later he went toWestern Reserve University as Hanna-Payne Professor and Chairman of theDepartment of Medicine and director ofthe University Hospitals of Cleveland.In view of what lay ahead, his décisionto go to Western Reserve was a definiteturning point, for, after 1958, the de-mands of administration somewhat cur-tailed his teaching and clinical work andvirtually prevented him from continuinghis research. In his research he studied22aspects of tuberculosis infection, and inhis clinical work he followed this by con-centrating on diseases of the lung. Dr.Ebert realizes now, as Dean at Harvard,that "it had become more important tome to contribute to the science of medicine through other people, by support-ing them and what they do, rather thanthrough what I did directly. After ail, theonly really important thing in a university is the people and what happens tothem. It may take time to move the ma-chinery of this complicated institution,but it should never be forgotten that do-ing it is ail for this one purpose."Dr. Ebert moved the machinery atWestern Reserve, and since early 1 965,as Jackson Professor of Medicine atHarvard and as chief of the MédicalService at Massachusetts General Hospital, he has continued to move it. AtMassachusetts General he helped institute new units of préventive medicineand biomathematics, planned for a newsurgical and spécial services building,and generally expanded research activités. In addition he began experimentsin extending the teaching function to ailpatients in the Hospital.Dr. Ebert's appointment as Dean of theFaculty at Harvard was announced in1965. Envisioning himself in his newrôle, he defined his obligation: "The rôleof the university as an oasis for time andthought must continue, but it must alsoface the 20th century dilemma of therapidity of change in the outside world.Now it must occupy itself with facilitat-ing the passage of its ideas to the community. How can it do this? Mutual respect between the two is essential; bothare participating in this exchange for acommon good. We must continue basicresearch at the same rate — we must notlose impetus — but at the same time it hasbecome impossible to be spécifie in thestudy of disease. It must be attended toon ail levels if it is to benefit the community. Answers must be found throughwhat appear to be unrelated fields; thatis, through an atmosphère of free en-quiry." Sally Cook"I'm a cause-joiner and an organizationwoman," says Sally Cook. "I hâve to getinto thèse things or my life is meaning-less to me. When I see something I con-sider wrong, I hâve to do somethingabout it, even if my only rôle is typingmimeo stencils and putting notices onbulletin boards." Sally's principal con-cerns — the "causes" she most often joins— are political, and she concèdes that herinvolvement is emotional in nature. Itis engaged, she says, by broad moralissues: "I hâve always identified withdown-trodden minority groups, and Ihâve felt a strong affinity — for as longas I can remember — with the cause ofcivil liberties. As I grew up in Indian-apolis, I felt that Christianity as beingimposed on me by both my school and thecommunity. By the time I was ten yearsold, I had alrcady read ail the court décisions on church-state relationships. Iknow far too much about 'repression.'I came to the conclusion long ago thatthe essence of evil is imposing your values— even 'good' values — on other peopleand then punishing them if they fail toconform."Sally applied to and was accepted byThe University of Chicago while she wasstill a junior in high school. "I was verybored in high school, and I thought I hadvery little to gain by finishing. If I wasn'tready for collège, staying in high schoolanother year wasn't going to make meany more ready. When I got to the University I was a little scared. But I wasused to entering situations knowing fewpeople."Through a friend at the University,Sally was introduced to the workings ofStudent Government, and she started at-tending its meetings as an observer.Since vacancies are filled by appointment, her manifest interest paid off, andshe secured a position in the assembly during her first year. In her second yearshe became secretary of SG, and in theacadémie year 1964-65, she was chairman of its National Student AssociationCommittee. She has twice been a dele-gate to the NSA congress. She is a member of the Student Political ActionCommittee (SPAC), one of the campuspolitical parties, and has played an activerôle in groups such as the Congress onRacial Equality (CORE) and Studentsfor a Démocratie Society (SDS)."Ail the best people I know are politi-cally oriented. I sometimes wonder whatnon-political people talk about — whichis not to say that I talk about nothingelse. But I should think one would gettired of narrow self-interest and of con-cern merely for one's own little life. Tobe otherwise, however, is admittedly dis-illusioning; to be productive politicallyyou hâve to be aware of the 'bad' things."Sally's career interest is in the field ofpsychiatrie social work: she wants to dochild psychotherapy. "I want to workwith people. I'm not as concerned withideas as I am with people. I'm not, there-fore, a true intellectual. Both politics andpsychology are directed toward people.I'm interested in the ways in which peopleas individuals can be enabled to functionas productively and as creatively as possible."Editor's Note: By error, a photographof Sally Cook was included in the February issue, with the profile of NancyChase.

Horelick and Myron RushThe authors brilliantly analyze the crucial relation-ship between stratégie military power and Sovietforeign policy, showing how the Soviet leaders hâvebeen both attracted by the political potentialities ofnuclear weapons and sobered by their dangers. Theydétail the inner workings of the massive Soviet effortto deceive the West about the USSR's ICBM superior-ity and the way in which the Soviet leaders attemptedto manipulate Western beliefs about the stratégiebalance to their advantage in Berlin. The Cubanmissile crisis, which resulted from Soviet failure inBerlin and the collapse of the "missile gap" myth,is analyzed as it may hâve been viewed from Moscowby the Soviet leaders. The book concludes with anexamination of future alternative Soviet military-foreign policies likely to be considered by the présentSoviet leaders in the light of past failures.
