Copyright 1966 by the New York Times Company.Reprinted by permission.TJL- his expertly made digest of genetic experiments is it-self an experiment. As stated in the foreword, the book waswritten by Muriel Beadle, who is not a scientist but has hadexpérience as an advertising copywriter, women's editor, andnewspaper feature writer. George Beadle, her husband, is adistinguished geneticist, a Nobel Lauréate and the présidentof The University of Chicago. "The theory behind [their]collaboration therefore, was that if George could explaingenetics in terms simple enough for Muriel to grasp, anybodycould understand it."The experiment is successful; the authors rightly claim"that any moderately intelligent person can understand whatwe hâve written— unless he or she irrationally clings to anearlier-held conviction that science is per se incompréhensible." The pitfall which the authors had to avoid, andhâve avoided, was that science simplified may be sciencefalsified. The two crucial evolutionarye vents, the origin oflife from inanimate matter and the origin of mankind fromnon-human ancestors, are deftly made to seem easy at first;but the following pages disabuse the reader who may be tooready to accept the notion that thèse events are fully under-stood and explained.Progress in the elucidation of the mechanisms of heredityand évolution is one of the prime achievements of modemscience. It is true that "man's ability to split the atom hasprobably worked more change in our outlook on the worldand in our power over nature than any other twentieth-century advance in knowledge; but geneticists' discoveriesabout heredity and variation and the effects of thèse uponévolution are surely a close second."Chemical or "molecular" biology, and particularly molec-ular genetics, hâve in the last décade or two achieved suc-Mr. Dobzhansky, professer of genetics at the Rockefeller Institute,is the author of several books on genetics and évolution. cesses which will doubtless be regarded in the history ofscience among the major achievements of the whole scien-tific enterprise. We hâve learned at least the basic facts aboutthe rôles in the transmission and in the realization of heredityof those two remarkable classes of chemical substances, withponderous names mercifully abbreviated to the initiais DNAand RNA.DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), carried mainly in thechromosomes of cell nuclei, insures the continuity of organi-zation, without which life as we know it could not exist. Inthe process of évolution, information about the states of theenvironment which the living species inhabits is accumulatedand stored in DNA, by means of natural sélection. Thisinformation is used to direct the growth and development ofindividuals. The information stored in DNA is transcribed bymeans of the genetic code into RNA (ribonucleic acid) , andfurther into the chains of amino acids which compose theproteins of the body.The breaking of the genetic code is a tremendous achieve-ment. Not the least remarkable fact about the code is itssimplicity. It is a "triplet code"; each of the 20 amino acidsfound in most organisms is specified by a séquence of threegenetic "letters" in the DNA and RNA. The number of the"letters" in the genetic "alphabet" is only four. Yet thenumber of possible genetic "messages" which can be spelledby thèse four letters is practically infinité. Of course, even thethree "letters" of the Morse code (dot, dash, gap) sufrice totransmit any number of messages.What is most noteworthy of ail is, however, the universalityof the genetic code; the same four "letters" make up theheredity of quite diverse organisms, high and low, animaisand plants. Hère is a dramatic évidence of the unity of aillife and of its évolution. This is why the genetic code deservesthe name "the language of life."T-JL o many scientists, fashions in science appear to be ascompelling as clothing fashions to many ladies. The breakingof the genetic code is an important achievement, but it doesnot quite follow that, to be up-to-date, biology and geneticsmust begin with DNA and end with DNA. The Beadles arecertainly too sophisticated to be caught in this trap. RoughlyPrésident and Mrs. George W. Beadleone-half of the 24 chapters of their book deal with thegenetic-code story, but the other half présents the outlinesof a wider perspective.Genetics is, among biological sciences, most heavilyloaded with philosophical and sociological implications. Thisis a partial explanation of the temporary suppression of thisscience in U. S. S. R. under the nightmarish domination ofLysenko (now, fortunately, a matter of the past). Theauthors do not flinch from raising "some unanswered questions" and from taking "a look into the future."The burden of genetic defects accumulated and accumulat-ing in human populations is a matter of concern second onlyto the péril of a runaway population explosion. The hazardsof genetic damage by high-energy radiations hâve attracted considérable attention. The dangers of the radioactive fall-out coming from tests of atomic weapons were for a timediscussed widely and often acrimoniously. That thèse dangers are real cannot be denied. They are, however, a part ofa more gênerai and graver problem : accumulation of heredi-tary diseases and constitutional weaknesses.An obvious remedy would be to persuade persons who arecarriers of genetic defects voluntarily to refrain from con-ceiving children, and to build their families via adoption.Some eminent geneticists consider this remedy inadéquate.They propose far more radical measures, collection andpréservation in deep-frozen condition of semen of approveddonors, to be used for artificial insémination of numerouswomen. The idea behind this proposai is that mère négativeeugenics, impeding the spread of genetic diseases, is notenough. They advocate positive eugenics, genetic sélectionfor a better kind of man.The Beadles carefully point out the difRculties standing inthe way of such "Brave New World" projects. If you décideto breed a Superman, who will décide what qualities heshould hâve? "Man knows enough but is not y et wise enoughto make man." The genetic aspects of race are consideredbriefly. There is no compelling évidence that any race isgenetically superior to any other race. As to the alleged cul-tural inferiority of Negroes : "One way to settle the questionis to equalize Negro and white opportunity and environment—and then compare intelligence and achievement."And finally, hère is an observation about a characteristicof scientists as people which I cannot refrain from quoting infull: "You've seen him in the movies: the scientist who isinfallible, insensitive, and coldly objective— little more thanan animated computer in a white lab coat. He takes measure-ments and records results as if the collection of data were hissole object in life; and if a meaningful pattern émerges itcornes as a blinding surprise. The assumption is that if onegathers enough facts about something, the relationship be-tween those facts will spontaneously reveal themselves.Nonsense."In the real world of science, the investigator almost alwaysknows what he's looking for before he starts. His observations are usually undertaken to prove the validity of an idea,and his émotions are as deeply engaged as those of a businessman planning a sales campaign, a gênerai mapping outstrategy, or a hunter stalking big game." ?34The Graduate Library Schoolby Don R. SwansonpJL rofessor Léon Carnovsky, in addition to his many otherdistinctions, is an invaluable source of anecdotes from outof the past of the Graduate Library School. He tells, forexample, of a faculty dinner in 1932, when Président Hut-chins introduced Louis Round Wilson as the "dean of thesmallest unit at The University of Chicago. It's no mysterywhy they'rathe smallest," he added with his usual pungency,"they won't let anybody in." For four years the student/faculty ratio had been valiantly held to something like oneto one, the faculty evidently believing that, once outnum-bered by students, matters would get entirely out of hand—a philosophy of éducation possibly akin to what in basketballwould be termed a man-for-man défense. In any event, forbetter or worse, Hutchins' words marked a turning point inthe history of the School, for afterwards it began cautiouslyto admit a few more students, albeit with considérable mis-givings.Today, the Graduate Library School is still relatively small(12 faculty, 95 students), and its degree programs are stilllonger and probably more demanding than those of anyother library school in the country. It offers little encouragement to students who seek the quickest or easiest route tolibrarianship, and yet it is very much a student-centeredschool. The heavy demands of our program can be explainedin the light of our rather ambitious goals. Above and beyondteaching the "vocational" skills of librarianship, we seek toprépare students for responsible rôles in planning librariesand information services of the future. The educational re-quirements for the planning of future Systems are quite adifférent matter from the training necessary to work in to-day's libraries. The distinction we draw between the plannerof library opérations and the operator of libraries can be asimportant as that between the architect and the builder. I usethe phrase "library system" or "information System" to referbroadly to the purposes, services, functions, people, machines, and the pattern of information flow that ail play somevital rôle in a library opération. "Library planning" in thissensé has therefore little to do per se with the planning of alibrary building.Don R. Swanson, Prof essor and Dean of the Graduate LibrarySchool at The University of Chicago, has conducted research incomputer design and Systems analysis, information retrieval, intelligence data handling, linguistics, mechanical translation, and otherautomatic methods of storing, organizing, and finding information. The planners of tomorrow's libraries must hâve a thoroughunderstanding of the following:—The needs, purposes, behavior, and requirements of thosewho use libraries and information services.—Functions and services that libraries should performabove and beyond past or présent functions.—The historical development of libraries and the rôle whichthey hâve played and should play in society.—Techniques of operational analysis in libraries and theformulation of mathematical models of information Systems.—The rôle which libraries play with respect to other typesof information services and information centers; the essen-tials of the production and use of recorded knowledge.—The implications of future technology for libraries, in-cluding the use of computers and microform storage.—Computer applications, analysis, flow charting, and pro-gramming.—The organization, use, and évaluation of library mate-rials; principles, théories, and techniques of indexing, cata-loging, classification, information retrieval, and bibliography.—The éléments and implications of communication technology in the planning of library Systems.—The function and rôle of research libraries as éléments ofa national system.— Results and implications of research in the field of libraryscience, communication science, and information science.Apart from the issue of planning Systems, the nature ofmuch of the work presently done by librarians can be ex-pected to change substantially in the future. As machinestake over more and more of the répétitive, "machine-like"tasks, we can look forward to an increasingly effective useof people for matters requiring human judgment, providedwe hâve a clear enough understanding of the différences between human and machine capabilities. This understandingwe hope to give our students.We regard the foregoing concepts of library planning asbasic, whether the student intends to specialize in the académie research library, the public library, or school or chil-dren's libraries. Each of thèse and many other specialtieswithin the library profession then add their own demandsupon the student to master more detailed knowledge.5TJL- he ambitions of the Graduate Library School are farfrom modest, and it may be presumptuous to assume thatthey indeed can be attained. Goals are, however, for thepurpose of keeping one at least headed in the right direction,and with this direction in mind it is possible for us even nowto point to évidence of progress. Within the past year finan-cial support for the School has increased sharply. The University itself, first of ail, increased the budget of the Schoolin 1964 and 1965 by a significant percentage. Several newfaculty appointments were made and student aid in the formof scholarships and fellowships was increased. Three majorresearch grants from the National Science Foundation Officeof Science Information Service were subsequently received,and two from the National Library of Medicine hâve beenapproved and are expected to begin in July, 1966. Work incoopération with the National Opinion Research Centerunder a grant from the Carnegie Corporation has been car-ried out. International Business Machines awarded a PhDfellowship for 1965-66. Other private and governmentfoundations and agencies hâve expressed great interest inthe future of the School and in supporting its research andeducational programs.The first of the NSF-sponsored projects, entitled "On In-dexing Depth and Retrieval Effectiveness," involves basicresearch on indexing and classification, and attempts torelate such opérations to the effectiveness with which storedinformation can be retrieved in response to requests for ailinformation on some subjects.When one tries to find subject-oriented information (incontrast to finding a particular book) in a library, it cangenerally be assumed that only part of the information actu-ally relevant to the intent of the request is found (thoughhow much remains undiscovered we can ne ver be sure),and at the same time that a good deal that is not relevant isalso retrieved. There is expérimental évidence to suggest thata large fraction of recorded knowledge is unfindable, eventhough it is supposedly in an accessible location, such as alibrary. Better Systems of indexing and classification shouldpermit us more readily to find the pertinent information andreject the irrelevant. It is the intent of our research in thisarea to attain greater insight into présent indexing and classification Systems and into the development of new and im-proved approaches.Présent indexing practices for scientific or technical papers are regarded as rather thorough if as many as a dozen indexterms are assigned to an article. A book in a research libraryis typically accessible through only one or two subject catégories, though of course it may deal in fact with many. Yetour studies hâve shown that it may be necessary to identifyin some way as many as several hundred concepts, even in asingle article, to permit ail pertinent information to be retrieved when it is wanted. Some further appréciation of thedifficult nature of this problem can be gained from studiesof inter-indexer consistency. We, and others, hâve found thatpeople are only 20% to perhaps 60% consistent with oneanother in the sélection of index terms for technical articles.We hâve, furthermore, developed machine rules for indexing which resuit in just as much consistency with people, aspeople hâve with each other. One particularly interestingproblem in indexing is that of phrases vs. words. "Aluminumalloy" might reasonably be indexed under both "aluminum"and "alloy," but whether one would apply the same reason-ing to "carbon dioxide," "cole slaw," or "vice président" isanother matter altogether.The second NSF grant involves a two year study of librarycatalogs of the future. Viewing the library catalog in itsentirety, we ask: what kind of information should the catalog contain and how should this information be organizedso that it can respond to the questions that people wouldreally like to ask of it, instead of just those questions to whichlibrary catalogs can presently respond? Suppose one weretrying to find a particular book in a library without beingcertain of author, title, or subject, but for some reason didhappen to remember that the book was about four years old,that it was very large, contained about 400 pages, and thatit had several authors one of whom was named Smith. Fewwould hâve the courage to approach présent libraries withsuch fragmentary information, but in principle this oughtnot to be the case. Future (possibly mechanized) catalogsshould hâve the capability to generate very quickly a list ofbooks meeting ail the stated spécifications, from which asélection could then be made by the requester. If the list istoo long, the library or "system" should suggest possiblecriteria for tightening the -spécifications. People hâve a pro-pensity for remembering small fragments of information andfor being at least initially vague in the spécifications that theyare able to formulate; with suitable reminders as to therange of possibilities, they are able to do much better. It is6m& .The Joseph Regenstein Library (above) will house the GraduateLibrary School, in addition to providing storage space for 2.9million books and periodicals. The Joseph and Helen RegensteinFoundation has given $10,000,000 toward the building's expected$18,000,000 cost. It will be located on Stagg Field, just west ofBartlett Gym, and will be the largest campus building. our belief that the library of the future should be designedaround the frailties of human memory rather than aroundthe notion that people must somehow learn to cope withlibraries and with increasingly complex bibliographie tools.It is this belief that motivâtes our research project on catalogs of the future.The third NSF-sponsored project deals with the mechanicaltranslation of languages, and cornes to the School with Pro-fessor Victor Yngve, a physicist, who has recently joined thefaculty and who has worked on problems of automatic translation and computational linguistics at the MassachusettsInstitute of Technology for the past ten years. Though seem-ingly remote from librarianship, it happens that the problemsof mechanical translation are not unlike those one encoun-7ters in the automatic indexing and retrieval of information.The fact that languages contain words with many meaningsand phrases or sentences with syntactic complexities andambiguities, suggests a wealth of common problems forthèse areas. The phenomena of meaning, syntax, semantics,and lexicography in language provide exciting intellectualfoundations to the theoretical aspects of information retrieval.In addition to the three major projects just discussed, twomore, as mentioned earlier, are scheduled for implementa-tion in 1966, with the support of the National Library ofMedicine. In the first, an expérimental project on the dissémination of biomédical literature will be carried out incoopération with The University of Chicago School of Medicine. Copies of journal articles specifically reflecting theinterests of various faculty members will be disseminateddirectly to them on a regular basis.Most scientists expérience frustration and dismay at thehuge amount of reading that seems in principle to be neces-sary to "keep up" with even a relatively narrow specialty.Much of their contact with the current literature tends to beaccidentai; it is our purpose to détermine the extent to whicha highïy personalized information service can be responsiveand précise in meeting this problem. The views of the récipients will be sought on the degree of responsiveness ofthèse articles to their interests. The adequacy of the indexingand classification mechanisms which permitted the articlesto be found will be assessed, and new and improved techniques developed.The second program directly supports the School's curricu-lar ràther than its research objectives, and involves a fiveyear program of médical librarianship. It is without doubtthe emphasis placed within the School on the planning offuture information Systems, and the proximity of the LibrarySchool to an outstanding School of Medicine, that has wonthe attention and interest of the National Library of Medicine in approving our program.Under a grant from the Carnegie Corporation to the National Opinion Research Center, a preliminary study of adultbook reading in the United States has been carried out byMr. Ennis of the Library School faculty and several of hisstudents. The first phase has been completed and a largerstudy has been proposed for the coming two years. The studyhas important sociological implications in its exploration of the factors which lead to the development and maintenanceof adult reading audiences. Its implications for the field ofpublic librarianship are of especial importance.AU of the foregoing research projects hâve been carefullyformulated by the faculty of the Graduate Library Schoolin such a way as to support our académie program and itsobjectives. In no case hâve we accepted outside purposes orobjectives not wholly consistent with those internai to theSchool and to the University. Of spécial significance is thefact that thèse projects enable us to offer a substantial number of research assistantships to students. This permits récipients to pursue a full time académie program withoutdiverting their efforts to outside work. It is hoped that bythis means many of our students will be able to finish theirdegrees in a shorter total time than would otherwise bepossible. The School requires each student in the M. A.degree program to write a thesis. The opportunity to workon research projects will provide an educational expériencewhich should be of great value to the student in his thesisresearch.A t is our hope to attract to the Graduate Library Schoolthe student who is intelligent, inquisitive, créative, and wellendowed with initiative. A good undergraduate préparationis of great importance, though the particular subject specialty doesn't so much matter. Our students corne mainlyfrom the humanities, social sciences, and sciences. We lookfor superior performance on entrance exams, a good académie record, and évidence that the subjects selected forundergraduate study hâve been substantive and purposeful.Furthermore, applicants must hâve realistic and worthwhileobjectives, and must be able to state thèse clearly. What weseek is not easy to obtain, since a student who has success-f ully pursued a program in some other subject is more likelyto remain in it. If he has not been successful, it is unlikelythat a change to librarianship will help him much. Those whomay be prone to regard librarianship as a refuge from moredemanding pursuits are almost certainly headed for anagonizing reappraisal.The number of applicants to the School increased by about40% from 1964 to 1965, and again by 55% from 1965 to1966. Owing to increasing rigor in our program, we did not8admit a proportionately greater number of students, butchose rather to exercise greater selectivity. About 55% ofthose who applied were accepted and nearly ail of those whowere offered scholarships, fellowships, or assistantships accepted our offer. The faculty regards the présent studentpopulation of the School as being extremely intelligent andstimulating to work with in class and in research projects.While the School does not aspire to great size, it does hâvemore students now than it ever had before, and some furthermodest increases are expected in the next few years.The faculty of the School is characterized, among otherthings, by a diversity of backgrounds, including physics,philosophy, classics, sociology, linguistics, mathematics and,incidentally, librarianship. Above ail else, a high value isplaced on good teaching, in the context of active research.Mr. Herman Fussler, Director of The University of Chicago Library and Mr. Carnovsky, an authority on publiclibraries, hâve both achieved wide récognition in the libraryprofession and the distinction of having been awarded theMelvil Dewey Medal. Mr. Howard Winger, an authority onlibrary and printing history, makes an outstanding contribution to the School, both in his teaching and in his capacityas managing editor of the Library Quarterly. Ruth FrenchStrout, the Dean of Students, has degrees in classics and aparticular interest in the Humanities; she is an authority oncataloging and classification.Miss Sara Fenwick is known internationally for her workin the fields of school library éducation and children's literature. The GLS annual conférence in August this year will bedirected by Miss Fenwick and deals with "A Critical Ap-proach to Children's Literature." Miss Fenwick serves assupervising editor of the Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books. Mrs. Zena Sutherland is the full-time editorof the Bulletin, which is itself renowned as a review médium for children's books.Mr. Philip Ennis, mentioned earlier in connection with thestudy on adult reading, is a sociologist. Mr. John Dolan hasa joint appointment with the Library School, the Department of Philosophy, and the Collège. His courses deal withsemantics, cybernetics, and epistemology. Miss Thyllis Williams, a Research Associate, specializes in thèse same areasand has a degree in philosophy. Mr. William S. Cooper, arécent addition to the faculty, is a mathematician and hasinterests in the areas of logic and linguistics similar to those of Prof. Yngve. Mr. Tsuen-Hsuin Tsien, Librarian of theUniversity's Far Eastern Library, holds a joint appointmentas Professor of Chinese Literature.Mrs. Christine Longstreet, Miss Maureen Patterson, Mr.Kenneth Soderland, Mr. Robert Wadsworth, and MissEleanor Johnson— ail members of the University librarystaff— contribute to the School as lecturers, as does Mr.Herman Henkle who is Director of the John Crerar Library.Overshadowing ail other news on physical facilities is theannouncement of the Regenstein gift of $10,000,000 to theUniversity for a magnificent new $18,000,000 library to beconstructed on Stagg Field. The new home of the GraduateLibrary School will be on the main floor of the southeastwing, when the library is completed a few years from now.The planned space includes three classrooms, twelve facultyoffices, an area for research assistants, and a room for Computing equipment. The latter will consist principally of re-mote consoles connected to central computer facilitieselsewhere.The University of Chicago computation center providesincreasingly valuable support to our students, as do com-puteré at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and theSystems Development Corporation in California, which areeven now accessible to the School through direct télétypelink.The demand for librarians is very great, and the resultingpressure for immediately useful vocational training cannotbe ignored. For library éducation to respond solely to cur-rent demands, however, may well lead at some future dateto a state of intellectual bankruptcy within the profession.This is especially so as engineers and mathematicians playincreasingly important rôles in shaping the future of libraryservices, and as it becomes increasingly clear that today'sknowledge has a high obsolescence rate. Thus our approachto library éducation has been to center our program on whatwe judge to be the longer term, fundamental needs of theprofession. Research and the implications of future tech-nology, as I hâve discussed, receive particular emphasis, andit is our assumption that we can attract the student withserious scholarly interests who is willing to work somewhatharder and longer for a library degree. The évidence seemsstrongly to indicate that there are indeed many such studentsand that the School can well afford the risks inhérent in pur-suing its long-standing tradition of challenging tradition. Ù91 iJUCllcilllby Gaylord Donnelley.merica dérives its strength from many sources— itspeople, its farms, its industries, its institutions, and its richcultural héritage. One of the fondamental éléments of ourhéritage is our educational system, and particularly oursystem of higher éducation.In the last century, America was called a "land of collèges"by a European visitor. It still is, only more so. Somethinglike half of ail the high school graduâtes in this land will goon.to.a collège or university in the next décade.We know that the wealth of a nation is not in unmined coalfields, undiscovered oil wells, untilled fields, or unbuilt fac-tories. Wealth cornes from men working, and working withgood ideas. The United States has grown and prosperedbecause in the past our business and civic leaders hâve beensuffîciently far-sighted to plan for the educational needs offuture générations.The frontiers of America are not closed. True, the rawplains and dense forests hâve been mapped, cleared andsettled. However, new frontiers no less challenging confrontus today. Unexplored territories in sociology, psychology,medicine, law, and science demand of us the same qualitiesof courage, resourcefulness, and intelligence displayed bythose who first settled the wilderness and made our landthrive and prosper. Much has been done— but much remainsto be done. Now the work is being carried on, not with rifleand axe, but with test tube and cyclotron; not in the logcabin and the uncleared field, but in the laboratory and class-room. The universities will lead the way, for nowhere elseare old ideas tested and new ideas sought with such dedica-tion and dévotion.The founding of The University of Chicago was in the bestAmerican tradition of higher éducation. Although it bearsthe name of its home city, the University was from its firstday an independent and privately-endowed institution. Suc-cessful men who recognized their responsibility to futuregénérations came together to organize and support it. Thisis private initiative at its finest.The University of Chicago today is one of the world's trulygreat universities— and there are but a handful of them.Gaylord Donnelley is Chairman of the Board of the R. R. Donnelley& Sons Company, the Chicago printing firm. He has been a Trustéeof The University of Chicago since 1947, and he is serving as Chairman of the Campaign for Chicago. This article is adapted from arécent address to the Sons of the American Révolution. Wherever scholarship is respected in the world, the name ofChicago is known, and Chicagoans can justifiably take pricfein this. An institution, like any living thing, cannot grow toits Ml height in a hostile or indiffèrent environment. Thefact that this university did grow and flourish hère is a tributeto the city and ail its citizens.The importance of higher éducation, not just to the city ofChicago but to the entire state of Illinois, cannot be over-stated. Our hopes for the future and for the future of ourchildren dépend on training compétent and dependableleaders to guide us. Thèse leaders in the arts, the sciences,in politics, business, and law are somewhere in the studentbodies of our great universities today. If we do the best wecan for ail students, we can be assured that we are doingthe best that can be done for the key men and women towhom we shall look for leadership.It seems incredible that only a few décades ago some werequestioning the value of a collège éducation. Many com-panies preferred to operate their own training programs forexecutives. Such an attitude has almost disappeared. Wesimply do not know what problems must be f aced in an eraof rapid and unpredictable change. The value of a broad,gênerai éducation is now universally recognized, even forthose who fully intend to dévote their lives to some highlyspecialized field.Only a short time ago, the word "interdisciplinary" cameinto the académie lexicon. Scholars began to glimpse thebasic relationship between areas of knowledge set off fromone another by artificial académie boundaries. Biology, whenyou probe deeply enough, becomes chemistry; chemistrybecomes physics; physics becomes mathematics; literaturebecomes sociology; law and medicine hâve much to learnfrom psychology. It is to the crédit of The University ofChicago that, early in its history, interdisciplinary commit-tees and courses of study were accorded great importance.They still are.Today, we are beginning to realize that business and indus-try are also interdisciplinary in nature in the modem world.Computers are playing an increasingly important rôle inbusiness, and we hâve a right to expect that a young manstarting out should hâve a much greater knowledge of theircapabilities and their limitations than many of us hâve today.One can find many other examples of the impact of theinterdisciplinary approach in business and industry. Elec-10Gaylord Donnelley tronics, psychology, sociology, and the arts are makingcontributions to the problems of manuf acturing, buying, sell-ing, and keeping records. This does not mean that the business executive of the future must be able to program acomputer or paint a picture. But he must hâve a sufficientlybroad gênerai éducation to enable him to communicate witha computer programmer, a design engineer, or an advertisingexecutive.The interdisciplinary nature of studies at The University ofChicago is illustrated by plans for the new Joseph RegensteinLibrary, which will be the largest building on the Midwaycampus. In this building, collections will be arranged sothat both the scholar working intensively on one subjectand the scholar whose sources must be drawn from manysubjects can work with extraordinary efficiency.Another interdisciplinary aspect of the University's librarysystem should be mentioned. The Dean of the GraduateLibrary School is Don R. Swanson, a physicist and anauthority on information Systems. The new Regensteinlibrary will include modem electronic Systems designed toimprove the access of scholars to recorded knowledge andinformation, including direct input from the Library to theUniversity's main computer. Plans also provide for the future installation of teaching machines and closed circuit télévision. There will be high speed book-paging services,microtext reading facilities, and a book-carrying pneumatictube to link the Library with one or more future componentsof the University's library system. This will make the re-sources of one unit rapidly available to others. Even beyondthis, there are concepts that involve linking the new libraryelectronically with other libraries ail across the world, sothat the resources of one will be the resources of ail.X^Jne measure of the strength of a university is its faculty. It is interesting to note that when The University ofChicago was founded, there were 594 members of thestudent body, and the initial faculty of 103 included eightformer collège présidents.The nation's first Nobel Prize winner in science was AlbertA. Michelson, a University of Chicago physicist. In ail, 24Nobel Prize winners hâve taught or studied at the University,11and the current président, George W. Beadle, shared theNobel Prize for physiology and medicine in 1958.At présent 28 members of the faculty are members of theNational Academy of Sciences, 29 are Fellows of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and 17 hâve beenelected to the American Philosophical Society, the nation'soldest learned society. Four are charter members of the newNational Academy of Education and two are members ofthe Academia Nazionale dei Lincei, the oldest learned societyin Europe.When we speak of the University as the spring from whichcorne the ideas to refresh and rejuvenate our society, it isnot empty abstraction. We can point to spécifie examples ofmen who hâve been connected with The University of Chicago, and whose influence on the world in which we live hasbeen far-reaching— such men as John Dewey, whose educational théories hâve had such impact on our school Systems;Paul Tillich, who created what Time magazine called "Atheology for Protestants"; or John Simpson, who today isin the front rank of space exploration. And, of course, manyothers hâve brought famé to our city and inspiration to theirstudents.The atomic âge, with its périls and unparalleled opportuni-ties, was born on this campus from the minds of such menas Enrico Fermi, Samuel Allison, and Herbert Anderson.The création of the first atomic pile was a feat that tookcourage as well as faith in the knowledge and skills of thefaculty and technical staff. It is perhaps worth noting thatother universities, offered the opportunity to undertake thismomentous project, declined to do so.Académie advances are seldom so dramatic— but whateveryour field of interest, when you dig deeply enough, you arelikely to encounter the name of The University of Chicago.This is because from the time of its founding it has not mere-ly tolerated, but welcomed and even demanded différencesof opinion among its faculty. There's a businessman's jokewhich says that whenever two executives in a company agréecompletely on a subject, one of them is unnecessary. Thisalso may be true of a university faculty.The idea of "académie freedom" has often been abused,but when joined with the concept of "académie responsi-bility," the words hâve a very important meaning. Considerthe diversity of thought within the Department of Economiesat the University as an example of how responsible scholars can agrée on fact and differ on matters of opinion, whilemaintaining respect for each other. Milton Friedman, thedistinguished professor of économies who served as économie adviser to Barry Goldwater in the last presidentialcampaign, made an interesting observation recently. He saidthat the économies department represents such a wide rangeof responsible viewpoints and talents, that any Président ofthe United States, be he ultra-liberal, middle-of-the-road, orultra-conservative, could staff his council of économie ad-visers with economists from The University of Chicago.The University of Chicago has been, is now, and is com-mitted in the future to be a pioneer in éducation. Advancesin our system of higher éducation brought about by the University include the four-quarter system, extension coursesand programs in the libéral arts for adults, the junior collègeconcept, equal éducation and teaching opportunities forwomen, and a full-time médical school teaching faculty. Cur-ricula at collèges throughout the nation reflect the emphasiswhich The University of Chicago has placed on broad, interdisciplinary éducation with humanistic traditions. This is animpressive record for an institution only 75 years old.A major crisis in the history of The University of Chicagowas met recently when its surrounding neighborhood foughtback successfully against spreading slums and urban blight.The eyes of cities throughout the nation were focused onThe University of Chicago area to measure the success of a$200 million urban renewal program for Hyde Park andKenwood. Under the leadership of the University and espe-cially of Larry Kimpton, then chancellor, the communitybanded together to solve the problem.The situation was so critical that at one point trustées ofthe University were considering a move to a suburb or toanother city, abandoning the great Midway campus. Slumsthreatened to engulf the campus, and the area's crime ratewas rising.The University of Chicago itself spent $30 million to sparkthe campaign to save Hyde Park and Kenwood. It was a wiseinvestment. As those of you who know the Hyde Park-Kenwood area hâve seen, the bold experiment has broughtabout a new concept of urban living. The University of Chicago now is located in a stable, prosperous, and racially inte-grated community with one of the lowest crime rates in thecity.The results are so spectacular that many new institutions12are moving into the Hyde Park-Kenwood community today— theological schools, the American Bar Center, and otherimportant organizations whose présence will benefit thecommunity and will benefit from it.Urban blight threatening stable and important institutionsis a nation-wide problem. Because of the pioneering rôle ofThe University of Chicago, other organizations around thecountry— not only collèges but hospitals, laboratories, andindustries— know now that the job of fighting back slums canbe done, and they know how it can be done.What else cornes out of The University of Chicago? Notonly ideas and research findings but, most important, students. The four-year collège program is only the beginningfor University of Chicago students; more than 75 per centgo on after graduation to pursue advanced degrees. A récentstudy covering 20 years showed that the Collège of The University of Chicago led the nation in the proportion of graduâtes who went on to earn the PhD degree.The University of Chicago ranks as the nation's largest percapita producer of collège and university teachers. It con-tributes an average of 108 teachers for every 1,000 graduâtesof the Collège.The University of Chicago is known as a "teacher of teachers." In little more than a year— since January 1 , 1 965— sevenalumni of The University of Chicago hâve been appointedcollège présidents. In fact, about 10 per cent of ail collègeprésidents now serving in the United States hâve degreesfrom The University of Chicago.How deeply this tradition of académie service extends isbest shown by the example of the School of Medicine. Sinceit was founded, 1,850 graduâtes hâve received MD degrees;and 320 of thèse, more than one-sixth, hâve engaged in full-time teaching or research.We ail are aware of the financial needs of private académieinstitutions in this country. Tuition from students at TheUniversity of Chicago covers only a small fraction of totalexpenses, which include such items as giant computers andcyclotrons, archaeologicai expéditions to ancient Sumeria,research hospitals and clinics, libraries, the largest privatetéléphone network in the Illinois Bell system, and an exten-sive campus police force.To meet expenses, The University of Chicago last autumnannounced a fund-raising drive unprecedented in size andscope. A total of $160 million is needed in the next three years if the University is to fulfill its responsibilities to itsstudents, its city, and the nation. It is my great privilège toserve as Chairman of the Campaign, and may I say it is ajob as rewarding as it is challenging.The three-year campaign for $160 million has started well.After an exhaustive survey and évaluation of the University—and a study of two volumes of data provided by faculty,administration, and trustées— the Ford Foundation made itsmaximum educational grant to The University of Chicago—$25 million. This Ford grant must be matched with threedollars in private f unds for every dollar provided by theFoundation.In the first seven months of the campaign, The Universityof Chicago received a total of $42,112,332 in gifts andpledges toward its campaign goal of $160 million. This totalrepresents 26.3 per cent of the full goal set for the three-year campaign— a fine start.Among the major contributions the University receivedwere:—$10 million from the Joseph and Helen Regenstein Foundation of Chicago, to make possible the construction of thenew graduate research library, which will be named theJoseph Regenstein Library in honor of the late Chicagoindustrialist.— $1 million from the Standard Oil (Indiana) Foundation.This is the largest single gift ever made by the Foundationto an institution of higher leaming.-$300,000 from the Robert R. McCormick CharitableTrust. This gift will be used to honor the memory of the lateColonel Robert R. McCormick.—$300,000 from the International Harvester Foundation.[Editor's Note: On April 18, another major contributionwas announced— $8,500,000 from the Ford Foundation toexpand the University's programs in international and comparative studies.]A campaign such as this is sparked by a few major contributions made possible by the energy and genius of such greatAmericans as Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller, ColonelRobert R. McCormick, Cyrus McCormick, and JosephRegenstein. In the long run, however, the success of ourcampaign will dépend on many, many others who supporthigher éducation. Our goals are high, because our ambitionsare high, and I am sure that we of this génération will fulfillthe expectations of those who came before us. D13An Interview with Richard J. StorrRichard J. Storr, Associate Prof essor in the Departmentof History, has worked for over ten years on Harper's University, a history of the founding and early years of TheUniversity of Chicago. The book will be published in Julyby The University of Chicago Press.Prof essor Storr, your book, Harper's University, coversthe founding and Président Harper's administration. Do youhâve any plans for succeeding volumes?Actually, my plans for another volume— or two more volumes—are still indefinite. I hope the book will be read foritself, as a single work. It was written this way, and there isa certain unity about the story. Also, I think, many universityhistoriés progress unimaginatively from administration toadministration, with very little sensé of the dramatic. I wouldbe sorry if the history of The University of Chicago fell intothis mechanical category. I hope people will read the bookas they would any other history or particular set of incidents,and not as a pièce eut arbitrarily off something else.How long hâve you been working on it, and how did youoriginally get involved?It's been thirteen years and some months since it wasoriginally discussed. I started on the invitation, primarily, ofChancellor Kimpton and Harold Swift, the former Chairmanof the Board. They had been interested in the history of theUniversity for a long time, and one day at lunch, we discussed it and I decided to undertake the project. I was onthe staff of the Collège then and had written a book on thehistory of American graduate éducation. I became a memberof the history départaient with the primary, though not exclusive, assignment of writing this book. I've been workingon it most of the time since, although there were a couple ofyears that I spent on other things.Did you receive any officiai désignation as Universityhistorian?No, my title has never been "Historian of the University,"and the book was not written to be an authorized history.The understanding was, simply, that I would write as anyother historian, assuming personal responsibility for theproduct. The only stipulation— a natural one— was that TheUniversity of Chicago Press should get first crack at publish-ing it. The book is obviously thoroughly researched. What wereyour main sources?My connection with the University gave me an advantagehère. It was necessary to consult archivai materials that arenot open to just anybody. Actually, the gênerai Universityarchives are available to any scholar, but I was able, in addition, to use the minutes of board meetings, which are notopen to the public, and to study the papers in the archivesof the office of the Rockefeller family and its associâtes.Without this material it just wouldn't be the book it is. So ina way my carrying a sort of loose commission from the University was important.Do you défend any particular point of view or argue anyhistorical thesis in the book?I did not start with an argument in mind; nor did I expectthe documents to prove some spécial, preconceived hypothe-sis of mine. I knew that the University had been an excitingplace in the Harper period and wanted to find out why. Andsince I came to it from writing a history of graduate éducation, there were certain gênerai questions in my mind thatI wanted to answer: What did the University set out to do?How nearly did it succeed? But I didn't hâve a "line," or aparticular idea to promote. I very shortly came to realize—and this is why the book is the length it is— that the Harperadministration constituted an important épisode, not onlyin the history of higher éducation, but also, if you will, inhuman history; that it possessed a certain unique qualitywhich could be described; and that, in short, it could bewritten up for what it was. The real thème, as I saw it, wasthe tension between the University's vitality and the forceswhich threatened its existence. Many hâve forgotten that itslife was financially precarious for years. There is no doubtthat it could hâve gotten into very serious trouble, and it'snot impossible, in fact, that the University as we know itmight not hâve survived. It might easily hâve become a com-bination standard collège and small graduate school.// it were not for what?If it were not that they got through some very dangerouswaters, financially, in the first fifteen or twenty years.You seem to give as much weight to financial arrangementsand considérations as you do to Harper's personal influenceon the University. Why?Because I think that the University's material condition wasextremely important. I think it's a mistake for académie1415people to be inclined to brush aside the question of wherethe money comes from. If you ask what makes a universitylively, part of the answer is that it has the material resourcesto do what it wants to do— to hire the men it wants, to buildfacilities, to buy books, and so forth. I don't mean to becynical about this, but many distinguished scholars came toHarper's University partly because the salaries were good.Speaking of that first faculty, how true are those familiaraccounts of Harper's "raids" on other institutions?There is, I think, a gênerai feeling current that the earlyUniversity did things with a kind of reckless, swashbucklingstyle and that, indeed, its présent eminence is directly due toits inspired "piracy" in the old days. I think that version ofthe history is neither dignified nor accurate. I don't thinkthe University made the impression it did or gained themomentum it did because of a flair for the melodramatic.Now, there is no doubt that Harper had a kind of ebullience,a kind of insouciance, a kind of dash that meant a great dealto the University. But, in incidents like the celebrated "raid"on Clark University, the important thing was the appointment of the professors at Chicago. The fact that it was a raiddoesn't really distinguish the history of the University fromthat of other institutions. In a way, Harper was in a positionthen that the président of a new Western institution is intoday if he goes east looking for people. And, to somedegree, Harper had the same advantages that the Westernerhas today: the excitement of a new institution and a considérable amount of money. There were moments, too, andsituations in which Harper failed to get what he wanted. Hewas not the irrésistible magician he has been claimed to be.Are there other "myths" or currently held impressions thatthe documentary évidence forced you to dispell?Well, sure, there are lots of small points and some big oneswhere the évidence of the documents doesn't bear out whatI think are common myths. Many people still believe thatThe University of Chicago was the first "real" university inAmerica. I simply don't think this was so. Of course youcould always define "university." in terms which distinguishyour own institution. But if you take what I think is a good,workable définition— an institution with an important program of graduate studies, which makes a serious effort toprovide for professional éducation of high quality, and whichalso has a collège— then other institutions would hâve quali- fied before Chicago. After ail, The University of Chicagobegan relatively late. Johns Hopkins, Harvard, Yale, Colum-bia, and Cornell were ail firmly established in 1891.Again, I've been asked many times, "Is the story true thatPrésident Harper prayed for money in John D. Rockefeller'sprésence after Rockefeller had told him not to ask formoney?" Well, I can't prove that this never happened, butif Harper did any such thing, at least after his relationshipwith Rockefeller had become established, it would hâve beenWilliam Rainey Harper16a gross act of folly. It probably would hâve lost the University money rather than the reverse.Many feel, finally, that the University has prospered partlybecause it was so loosely organized and that this loosenessof administrative structure was an asset. I don't speak directly to this point in the book, but I think a good case can bemade that this kind of casualness could hâve meant thecrippling of the institution. And it's interesting, I think, thatHarry Pratt Judson, Harper's dean of faculties and his suc-cessor in the presidency, was more careful as an administra-tor than Harper was. And I think it was a kind of carefulnessthat was important. Harper was an "executive," not anadministrator. l'm persuaded— who can say what goes on inthe heart of a man, really— but l'm persuaded that Harperreally didn't want to be as deeply involved in administrationas he was and that he never was reconciled to neglectinghis teaching and scholarship. A good deal of his sensé ofdynamism came from the fact that he felt driven to do morethan any man should be expected to do. Toward the end ofhis life things were getting extremely difficult for him per-sonally. I wouldn't say that his death was inévitable by anymeans, but that some kind of break in his career was due.He always wanted to get back to his work, and his relationto his colleagues on the faculty and to the trustées sometimesplaced considérable strain upon him. It is a différent picturefrom other accounts.How does your book differ from other accounts? Y m think-ing of Goodspeedfs in particular.I would like to speak with some affection of Goodspeed'sbook. It's a readable book and it has much of value in it.And there are things in it that I wouldn't hâve known other-wise. But Goodspeed wasn't primarily concerned with plac-ing the University in American history; or in indicatingaccurately or with any degree of fullness what its relationshipwas to the gênerai educational context. He was, however,personally devoted to the University and knew a great dealabout it. His is a personal book; half of it could hâve beencalled "Thomas Wakefield Goodspeed's Memoirs." So thatit really isn't fair to ask whether my book does somethinghis doesn't; surely, it does, but I've done something I don'tthink Goodspeed would hâve thought of .Would you care to contrast your book to Milton Mayer'sYoung Man in a Hurry? I disagree with Mayer on a great many points. I can't arguethat his isn't an exciting book, but I think some of the excite-ment is more inspired by the author than by the historicalevents.What I mean to suggest is, as I hinted earlier, that the pecu-liar quality, flavor, feeling that the University gives doesn'treally corne from the "derring-do" of the early days. Be-sides, the derring-do wasn't ail that daring; there was astrong strain of conservatism in the early history, especiallyin the académie sphère. And I think it's interesting that thekinds of things that are remembered now with approval weredeplored by very many people at the time. And they werenot just stuffy or unimaginative— l'm thinking of the founderhimself, who was by no means lacking in imagination, butwho was very much concerned about the way in which someprograms were carried f orward.In gênerai, I think, the history of the University has beentoo much sentimentalized. People tend to overlook the historical context and to dwell on "what makes the Universitydifférent," assuming that if it's différent or "unique," it isconsequently better. The tendency to make invidious com-parisons with other institutions is destructive. Institutions,like people, hâve faults— especially in their youth. I think weshould take pride in the University, not primarily for itsflashes of "differentness," but for the substance of what ithas done. Obviously, the University possessed great vitalityduring the Harper administration, and obviously, too, it dif-fered from other institutions. But it's something else to saythat it was vital because it was différent— or even that it wasdifférent because it was vital. A tradition based on either ofthose ideas would not be much use to us today. I hope forthe acceptance of another idea: that during the Harperadministration the University attempted to do things thatwere worth doing, simply because a number of lively peoplesaw intrinsic merit in them. Sometimes they did not agréewith each other; and their arguments, as much as their coopération, helped give the University its character. No doubtit was extraordinary. As the saying goes, you could write abook about it. Of course, I hâve— not to show how extraordinary it was, but how it came to be what it was. To dis-cover this is to understand the University's useful tradition—the tradition which stabilizes precisely because it exerts apowerful thrust forward. ?17Quadranole HewsGenetics Congress at UC — The ThirdInternational Congress on Human Genetics will be held at The University of Chicago, September 5-10. It is expected thatthe Congress will bring together approxi-mately 2,000 of the world's leadingscholars in the field of human genetics,including some 500 from overseas. Thisis the first time that the Congress hasbeen held in the United States. The firstInternational Congress on Human Genetics was held in Copenhagen in 1956;the second was held in Rome in 1961.The Congress will be one of the majorevents of the 75th Anniversary observance of the University, whose facultythrough the years has made many sig-nificant contributions to the study ofhuman genetics. Bernard S. Strauss, Pro-fessor of Microbiology and Chairman ofthe Committee on Genetics, is chairmanof the local arrangements for the Congress. He has been developing plans forthe meeting for the past two years and,at présent, is building a stafï to handlethe détails of préparation.In announcing the meeting, Mr. Strausssaid: "It was through the good offices ofGeorge Beadle, Président of the University and a Nobel Prize winner in genetics,that the Organizing Committee arrangedfor The University of Chicago to hostthis Congress of distinguished scientists.The opening session of the Congress willbe addressed by Président Beadle, andby Dr. Lionel S. Penrose, the recentlyretired Galton Professor of Eugenics atthe UniVersity Collège, London. Récentadvances in the understanding of the mo-lecular basis of inheritance and increas-ing awareness of the importance of diseases caused by genetic defects hâvegreatly intensified interest in problems ofhuman genetics. We expect the ThirdInternational Congress to bring to Chicago a number of the world's leadingscientists whose work is intimately con-nected with thèse problems." The pace of current research in geneticshas stimulated complex discussions aboutthe necessity and morality of reshapinghumans in psychological as well as inbiological terms. The developments inunderstanding of how nucleic acids(DNA and RNA) regulate the expression of heredity in living organisms andare transmitted from one génération tothe next hâve provided impetus to research in human genetics.The Congress is sponsored by theAmerican Society of Human Genetics,the Genetics Society of America, andthe Genetics Section of the InternationalUnion of Biological Sciences. It will besupported financially by the NationalFoundation— The March of Dimes andby the National Institute of Child Healthand Development.A program of scientific papers, démonstrations, plenary sessions, and symposiahas been planned for the Congress. Inaddition, there will be a séries of socialevents open to ail Congress membersand associâtes. Tours of scientific andgênerai interest are being offered to theparticipants, many of whom are expected to bring members of their families. Downtown Center Moves — This sum-riier The University of Chicago will moveits Downtown Center from its présentlocation at 64 East Lake Street to newlyrenovated and air-conditioned quartersin the 65 East South Water Building, oneblock north. The old location, occupiedby the Downtown Center since 1958,will be taken over by the Loop branch ofthe Chicago City Junior Collèges. Thenew quarters will be on the fifth, sixth,and seventh floors of the 24-story structure, formerly known as the EsquireBuilding. Each of the three floors has9,000 square feet of space. The University has signed a ten-year lease, effectiveJuly 1, 1966. However, the DowntownCenter hopes to occupy its new quartersin the latter part of June, following ex-tensive rénovation which has alreadybegun.Président George W. Beadle said: "Thenew Downtown Center represents a reaffirmation of The University of Chi-cago's historié commitment to make itsscholarly resources directly available tothe adult public as a significant culturalcontribution to the City of Chicago."Once-in-a-lifetime sight: Cobb Hall without its roof. Workmen hâve completely strippedthe interior of the building, will remodel the gothic shell into a new home for the Collège.18Sol Tax, Dean of the University's Extension Division (which includes theDowntown Center), said: "The University hopes to expand various teachingprograms which hâve been offered previ-ously. Our new quarters will be largerthan our previous facilities. The newquarters also will be air-conditioned, pro-viding considerably more comfort forstudents and faculty." The facilities willinclude space for twenty classrooms, twolarge lecture halls, administrative offices,lounges for students and faculty, and abookstore. The programs offered at theDowntown Center, primarily non-creditcourses for adults, enroll about 2,000students each quarter. They include theBasic Program of Libéral Education forAdults, a four-year program which is theCenter's basic curriculum; the Fine ArtsProgram, which includes courses inmusic, visual arts, and literature; spécialcourses on urban problems and socialissues; and a gênerai éducation curriculum for students in the degree programof the Art Institute of Chicago and otherarea art and music schools.April Fools' Carillon — April Fools' Daywas a bell-ringer at The University ofChicago. A east of forty, including Président and Mrs. George W. Beadle, tookpart in a musical spoof that featured thesounds of the 72-bell carillon atopRockefeller Chapel at 59th Street andWoodlawn Avenue. There were tworenditions of the "Gala Performance."Daniel Robins, the University's caril-loneur, conceived the non-academicevent and was its producer. His col-leagues in the light-hearted productionincluded students, faculty members,prominent Chicagoans, and several musiccritics from Chicago daily newspapers.The gênerai manager of the ChicagoSymphony orchestra also took part.Explaining his extravaganza, Mr. Robins said, "Instead of music ordinarilyassociated with the carillon, such as thatof Bach, Handel, and Scarlatti, we pre-sented the first performances of worksby William Ferris and James Hopkins aswell as the stirring Battle of Trenton, asonata composed by James Hewitt in1797, and dedicated to George Washington. The climax of the performance wasJohn Philip Sousa's Stars and S tripesForever, played on the carillon with sixhands, assisted by side drums, bassdrums, bell lyres, and a consort of picco-los." WFMT, the Chicago FM radiostation, played sélections from the "concert" on its weekly program, "The Mid-night Spécial," calling for more of thesame from the University next year. Faculty and Staff — George W. Beadle,Président of the University, has beennamed to a temporary Science AdvisoryCommittee of the National Aeronauticsand Space Administration (NASA) . TheCommittee will advise NASA on theconduct of future space projects.Daniel J. Boorstin, Professor of History, was recently awarded the FrancisParkman Prize of the Society of American Historians for his book, The Ameri-cans: the National Expérience. ThePrize is presented annually to the published work in the field "which achievesthe highest combination of scholarly andliterary qualities."Roscoe R. Braham, Jr., Professor ofMeteorology and Director of CloudPhysics Laboratory, was a récent witnessbef ore two U. S. Senate Committees : onMarch 8, he read a paper on "Weatherand Climate Modification" before theCommittee on Interstate and ForeignCommerce; and on March 22, he deliv-ered a statement on "A ComprehensiveProgram for Précipitation Modification"for the Committee on Interior and Insu-lar Aff air s.Dr. Hans H. Hecht, Professor of Medicine and Physiology, has been namedChairman of the Department of Medicine. He has been acting chairman sinceJuly, 1965. A well-known cardiologist,Dr. Hecht joined the University's facultyin 1964 after several years at the Universities of Michigan and Utah.Cyril O. Houle, PhD'40, Professor ofEducation, has been appointed by Président Johnson as one of the^l2 membersof the National Advisory Council on Extension and Continuing Education. Mr.Houle, a specialist in adult éducation, hasbeen a member of the faculty of the Department of Education at the Universitysince 1939. He was Dean of UniversityCollège, the adult éducation division ofthe University, from 1944 to 1952. Since1953 he has been engaged primarily ingraduate teaching and research relatingto the development of curricula for theMaster's and Doctor's degree in adultéducation, and in the administration ofcenter s for continuing éducation.Warren C. Johnson, Vice Président forSpécial Scientific Programs, is the University's représentative on the Committeeon Institutional Coopération (CIC), avoluntary association of top Midwestuniversities. The CIC was established in1958, as a means of strengthening higheréducation through pooling of resourcesand sharing of scarce or expensive facilities. Its most récent report states that,after seven years of successful opération,the CIC stands today "as one of educa- tion's multilatéral forces for the créativeconfrontation of change in modem society." According to the report, morethan forty joint projects are under way,with ail académie areas represented.Marshall D. Ketchum, Professor in theGraduate School of Business, is the gênerai editor of a book of selected readingson Public Finance and Fiscal Policy(Houghton Miffiin) among whose con-tributors are George J.

Sponsored by the Wenner-Gren Foundation for AnthropologicalResearch and the University, the conférence was concerned with evolving apicture of man during the period whenhe lived as a hunter and food gatherer—a period which lasted from man's begin-ning until about 10,000 years ago, orroughly 2,000,000 years. Featured weredescriptions of récent anthropologicalwork among such surviving hunter socie-ties as the Bushmen of Australia, theAinus of Northern Japan, and the Eski-mos of North America. By studying thèsesocieties, anthropologists hope to increasetheir knowledge of life as it was livedwhen ail men were hunters— prior to thedomestication of animais and the culti-vation of crops. About 150 anthropologists and eâucators from twenty-sixnations participated in the conférence,which was a follow-up to a symposiumon "The Origin of Man," held at Chicagoa year ago.20IportahortsTrack-On March 5, 234 athlètes fromcollèges and clubs participated in theUniversity of Chicago Track Club Openat the Field House. Five varsity mencompeted. Although no team scores werekept, the meet was dominated by athlètesfrom the Air Force Academy, LoyolaUniversity, and the UCTC. Best performance by a Chicago varsity man wasSean Peppard's 10:11.2 in the two-mileevent. On March 9, the Maroons split adouble dual meet at the Field House,defeating Valparaiso University 72-40but losing to the University of Wisconsin(Milwaukee) 35-78. John M. Beal, asecond-year student from Wilmette, 111.,scored an individual total of 22 pointsagainst Valparaiso with wins in the highjump, long jump, and triple jump, andsecond place in the high and low hurdlesand the pôle vault. At Naperville, 111.,March 12, six varsity athlètes competedin the North Central Collège InvitationalIndoor Meet. Jan O. Nilsson, a second-year student from Chicago, scored a major victory by winning the Division I(large schools) mile run. He outdistanceda fast field to win in 4:26.1, betteringthe meet record by three seconds. Duringthe spring vacation period, members ofthe varsity track team who remained oncampus participated in the UCTC Re-lays, March 19. At the Central AAUIndoor Championships, March 26, theUCTC won the team title with 78 points.In spite of bad weather, the Maroonsopened their outdoor track season April2, with a double dual meet against theUniversity of Illinois/Chicago Circle andLewis Collège. Against UICC Chicagoscored firsts in nine events to win themeet 74-71. Against Lewis, the Maroonswere trailing 62-69 but won the meetwith easy wins in the mile and two-milerelays. On April 9, an eleven-man varsitysquad took part in the Third AnnualUniversity of Kentucky Relays at Lex-ington, Ky. Chicago competed in six re-lay events, but failed to place againstthe stiff opposition from 37 schools. Thefour-mile relay team of Jan Nilsson,James Cottingham, Charles Stanberry,and Peter Hildebrand established a new University of Chicago varsity record of18:23.7. The previous record of 18:32.4was set in 1917 by the team of Otis,Sweet, powers, and Tenney.Baseball — The University of Chicagobaseball team opened its 1966 seasonwith a single game against the Universityof Illinois/Chicago Circle on Stagg Field,April 14. The Maroons lost 6-2. PitcherJim Block, a third-year student fromMilwaukee, Ore., allowed five runs inthe first two innings, then blanked theopposition until the eighth. Captain"Wink" Pearson, a second-year studentfrom Noblesville, Ind., led the Maroonattack with two hits, two walks, and tworuns batted in in five times at bat. OnApril 16, Chicago lost both games of adouble header to Wayne State University,10-1 and 5-4. The games scheduled forApril 19 (with Illinois Institute of Technology) and April 23 (with Knox Collège) were cancelled by heavy raku •Spring Soccer— The varsity soccer teamstarted spring practice for the f ail seasonon April 20. Workouts were held everyday in préparation for the most ambi-tious schedule in the history of the sportat Chicago. The practice sessions includ-ed several scrimmages with neighboringteams. According to coach WilliamVendl, "the 1966 season promises to bea good one since we lost only one playerfrom the roster through graduation. Co-captains Nemeroff and Schechtman aretrying out for the 1968 Olympic squad.And three former team members, whodid not play last season, are returning tocompétition. The schedule for the fallincludes games with Notre Dame, Illinois, Northwestern, Bail State, undefeat-ed Roosevelt, and NCAA régionalrunner-up Lake Forest."Sports In jury Panel— Joseph M. Stampf,Associate Professor of Physical Education and head basketball coach at theUniversity, was a panelist at a seminaron sports injuries, March 31, at theAmerican Collège of Surgeons in Chicago.

The season's second event was another double dual match, April 19, atthe St. Andrews Golf Club course. NorthCentral Collège and Wheaton Collègefurnished the opposition. Chicago againsplit the match, losing to North Central\6Vi-2Vi, and defeating Wheaton 14-5.21ProfitesLéon BotsteinLéon Botstein cornes from a family ofphysicians. When he was born in 1946,his parents, both Polish Jews, were study-ing medicine in Zurich, Switzerland, andboth later practiced there for three years.But "greater opportunités existed in theUnited States," and in 1949, the familymoved to New York City in order, Léonsays, "simply to take advantage of them."Today Mr. Botstein, a radiotherapist, andhis wife, a pediatrician, are on the staffof New York's Montefiore Hospital, andboth teach at the Albert Einstein Collègeof Medicine.It cornes as somewhat of a surprise tolearn that linguistics is not his main interest, for Léon is proficient in six lan-guages. As a child in Zurich he spokeGerman and Polish, and in America, ofcourse, he learned English. He wastrained in French at the French ArtTheatre's Centre d'Art Dramatiquewhere, he says, "we acted out Frenchplays for the public schools." At the HighSchool of Music and Art, one of twospécial New York secondary schoolsopen to qualified students, he studiedRussian. And at The University of Chicago he is learning Greek, "in order toread the classic Greek historians."A third-year student majoring in historyin the humanities, Léon was attracted toChicago by its General Education Program and by the idea of a small collègewithin a large university. He says, "I didnot want to go to a school which had noparticular view concerning the curricu-lum required of its graduâtes, which hadno educational 'philosophy' that could beexamined and tested. I did not feel readyto go to a school which offered cafeteria-style éducation." He is interested. primarily in the history of early 20th centuryGermany and plans to write one of hisfield papers on Max Weber, the Germansociologist and political economist. Buthe is attracted also to "questions of history which look at music" and wants to study "the cultural intégration of musicinto gênerai intellectual trends." He haspicked 13th century France as a focalpoint for this project, because, he says,"most of the intellectual activity in theMiddle Ages was concentrated in Paris."Léon has used his extensive high schooltraining in music as a basis for his extra-curricular, as well as his académie, efforts at the University. As a co-chairmanof last year's Festival of the Arts, he wasinvolved in what he calls "a serious at-tempt to involve students in the arts andto create a genuine student-based culturallife on campus." This year he has concentrated on music, but his aims are thesame. He is président of the MusicalSociety, "the only purely student-run,student-organized music group on campus," and within it he has founded a 35-member chamber orchestra which heconducts and, in gênerai, "holds to-gether." He has given two Friday after-noon concerts for the Musical Societyand two larger concerts with the orchestra. In addition, he is a member of theUniversity Symphony Orchestra and theCollegium Musicum, a group directed byAssociate Professor of Music HowardBrown and devoted to music up to thelate Baroque period. He plays the violinand the viol for both groups, and wasassistant conductor of the Orchestra during the winter quarter last year.Léon feels there is a "gênerai lack of student enthusiasm for participation incultural activities" at the University. Heis critical of those who are unwilling totake some time from académie affairsbecause he believes that "while one is incollège he should not hâve such a compulsive désire to 'make it' in his field.There's plenty of time for that, andthere's plenty of time, as a conséquence,for serious extracurricular pursuits incollège." He justifies his own expenditureof time and effort with a "belief in thevalue of my contribution to the musicallife of the campus. I hâve the trainingand the ability. l'm lucky. But I couldn'treally do anything unless I thought theUniversity benefitted."Although he plans to do graduate workin history, Leon's career goals are notstrictly scholarly in nature. He says,"There is justification for entering theacadémie world, to write, to publish, andto not perish; but l'm more concernedwith teaching. I intend, of course, tokeep up in my field and to write, whenI hâve something to say, for the académiecommunity. But I hope, also, to do something in an attempt to rehabilitate highschool éducation in this country. It— andparticularly its history programs— is on amisérable level. And I see no reason whythe history programs in high schoolscannot be helped by university communi-ties. Académie life offers the opportunityto transmit more than research results."22John G. ThompsonJohn G. Thompson is a casual youngscholar, who once wanted to be a minis-ter. Today he is Professor of Mathemat-ics at The University of Chicago. Hisspecialty is group theory, a branch ofmodem algebra concerned with the studyof abstract, mathematical structures. Hismajor work so far, "The Solvability ofOdd Order Groups," consists of 392typewritten pages of symbols which résolve a sixty-year-old mathematical spéculation. Dean A. Adrian Albert, of theDivision of Physical Sciences, regardsThompson's work as one of this cen-tury's most significant advances in algebra. It has excited wide interest in hisfield— meaning that as few as 150 personsin the world will now read it.Thompson admits that he cannot fullyexplain "The Solvability of Odd OrderGroups" in terms that would make senséto a well-educated adult. A fellow mathe-matician puts it this way: "It would takean intelligent layman seven years of hardwork to understand just what he hasdone. It would take me a year!"Thompson was born October 13, 1932,in Ottawa, Kansas. In his high schoolgeometry class he encountered and wasintrigued by the "three classic problemsof antiquity" (using only a straightedgeand a compass, trisect an angle, squarea circle, and double a cube) . But he hadother interests as well, and when he firstapplied to Yale University he hoped to study for the ministry. Turned down byYale because of insufficient crédits, heenrolled in Jefferson City (Mo.) JuniorCollège. The following year, Yale ac-cepted him. In his freshman year therea roommate showed him a copy ofGamov's popular work, One Two, Three. . . Infinity. Fascinated by a problemcited by Gamov, Thompson worked outa new proof. It was published in a pro-fessional journal before he had evertaken a collège course in mathematics.Thompson gave up his study for theministry and took his AB in mathematicsat Yale in 1955. After graduation hecame to Chicago for advanced study.Hère he worked closely with SaundersMac Lane, the Max Mason DistinguishedService Professor of Mathematics. Hetook his SM in 1956 and his PhD in1959, specializing in the theory ofgroups. In his doctoral dissertation heproved Frobenius' Conjecture, a problem that had perplexed mathematiciansfor more than half a century. Frobenius'Conjecture states: "if a finite group, G,possesses an automorphism of prime order without fixed points, then G is nilpo-tent." Roughly translated, "there arerules by which things can be manipulatedwithout changing the basic nature oftheir groupings."The theory of groups, formulated originally by the 1 9th Century French mathe-matician, Evariste Galois, is one of themost important concepts of modemmathematics, according to Thompson.Mathematicians working with Galois'ideas soon proved, among other things,that there can be no gênerai solution tothe three classic problems of antiquity.It was discovered, also, that group theoryhad fundamental applications in quantum mechanics, computer design, and other applied subjects. A finite groupmay contain an odd or an even numberof éléments. In 1904, the British mathe-matician, Burnside, suggested that ailgroups of odd order might be "solvable."Thompson took over from there: "Atone point," he says, "I had an idea thatsmelled like it was strong enough to takecare of this hypothesis. I just pushed italong."He pushed it for more than a year, withthe assistance of Walter Feit, '51, AM'51, a fellow post-doctoral student atChicago who is now a professor at Yale.The resuit was "The Solvability of OddOrder Groups," which took up one en-tire issue of the Pacific Journal of Mathematics and which won for its authors thenation's highest award in mathematics—the 12th Annual Frank Nelson ColePrize of the American MathematicalAssociation.After a year on leave to Harvard University in 1961, Thompson returned toThe University of Chicago to teach andto continue his research. At présent he isworking on "an analysis of symmetry."He says: "In the 19th Century, mathematicians specified types of symmetriesin a fairly précise way. A sphère is ra-dially symmetrical; a man is bilaterallysymmetrical because his left side is incertain respects a mirror image of hisright. A physicist might say that the uni-verse is 'symmetrical' because if an eventoccurs in one place, it can be duplicatedelsewhere. Using mathematical symbols,can we make some précise formulationsabout the géométrie symmetries, andthereby increase our knowledge of non-geometric events?" Equipped with penciland paper, working in his small office inEckhart Hall, Thompson hopes to findout.23(^/uéyw€#âBostonWilliam H.
