WeinbergDUring the war, and immediately afterward, our Fed­eral Government mobilized its scientific and technical re­sources, such as the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, aroundgreat technological problems. Nuclear reactors, nuclearweapons, radar, and space are some of the miraculous newtechnologies that have been created by this mobilization ofFederal effort.In the past few years there has been a major change infocus of much of our Federal research. Instead of beingpreoccupied with technology, our government is now mo­bilizing around problems that are largely social. We arebeginning to ask what can we do about world population,about the deterioration of our environment, about our edu­cational system, our decaying cities, race relations, poverty.President Johnson has dedicated the power of a scientifi­cally oriented Federal apparatus to finding solutions forthese complex social problems.Social problems are much more complex than are techno­logical problems. It is much harder to identify a social prob­lem than a technological problem: how do we know whenour cities need renewing, or when our population is toobig, or when our modes of transportation have broken down?The problems are, in away, harder to identify just becausetheir solutions are never clear-cut: how do we know whenour cities are renewed, or our air clean enough, or our trans­portation convenient enough? By contrast the availabilityof a crisp and beautiful technological solution often helpsfocus orr the problem to which the new technology is thesolution. I doubt that we would have been nearly as con­cerned with an eventual shortage of �nergy as we now areif we had not had a neat solution-nuclear energy-availableto eliminate the shortage.There is more a basic sense in which social problems aremuch more difficult than are technological problems. AAlvin M. Weinberg, AB'35, SM'36, PhD'39, is Director ofthe Oak Ridge National Laboratory and a distinguishedleader in the field of nuclear reactor technology. He haswritten widely on the complex relationships between science,government, and education, and on the problems of scien­tific manpower, civil defense, desalination, information dis­semination, and scientific interdisciplinary exchange. Thisarticle is the text of his acceptance speech for the AlumniMedal on June 11,1966.6 social problem exists because many people behave, individu­ally, in a socially unacceptable way. To solve a social prob­lem one must induce social change-one must persuade manypeople to behave differently than they have behaved in thepast. One must persuade many people to have fewer babies,or to drive more carefully, or to refrain from disliking N e­groes. By contrast, resolution of a technological probleminvolves many fewer individual decisions. Once PresidentRoosevelt decided to go after atomic energy, it was by com­parison a relatively simple task to mobilize the ManhattanProject.The resolution of social problems by the traditional meth­ods-by motivating or forcing people to behave more ration­ally-is a frustrating business. People don't behave rationally;it is a long, hard business to persuade individuals to foregoimmediate personal' gain or pleasure (as seen by the indi­vidual) in favor of longer-term social gain. And indeed,the aim of social engineering is to invent the social devices-usually legal, but also moral and educational and organiza­tional-that will change each person's motivation and redi­rect his activities along ways that are more acceptable tothe society.The technologist is appalled by the difficulties faced bythe social engineer; to engineer even a small social changeby inducing individuals to behave differently is always hardeven when the change is rather neutral or even beneficial.For example, some rice eaters in India are reported to preferstarvation to eating wheat which we send to them. How muchharder it is to change motivations where the individual isinsecure and feels threatened if he acts differently, as illus­trated by the poor white's reluctance to accept the Negroas an equal. By contrast, technological engineering is simple:the rocket, the reactor, and the desalination plants are de­vices that are expensive to develop, to be sure, but theirfeasibility is relatively easy to assess; and their success rela­tively easy to achieve once one understands the scientificprinciples that underlie them.It is therefore tempting to raise the following question: Inview of the simplicity of technological engineering, and thecomplexity of social engineering, to what extent can socialproblems be circumvented by reducing them to technologi,cal problems? Can we identify Quick Technological Fixesfor profound and almost infinitely complicated social prob­lems, "fixes" that are within the grasp of modern technology,and which would either eliminate the original social prob­lem without requiring a change in the individual's socialattitudes, or would so alter the problem as to make its reso­lution more feasible? To paraphrase Ralph Nader, to whatextent can technological remedies be found for social prob­lems without first having to remove the causes of the prob­lem? It is in this sense that I ask, "Can technology replacesocial engineering?"The Major Technological Fixes of the PastTo better explain what I have in mind, I shall describe howtwo of our profoundest social problems-poverty and war­have in some limited degree been solved by the Techno­logical Fix, rather than by the methods of social engineering.Let me begin with poverty.The traditional Marxian view of poverty regarded oureconomic ills as being primarily a question of maldistributionof goods. The Marxist recipe for elimination of povertytherefore was to eliminate profit, in the erroneous beliefthat it was the loss of this relatively small increment from theworker's paycheck that kept him poverty-stricken. TheMarxist dogma is typical of the approach of the social engi­neer: one tries to convince or coerce many people to foregotheir short-term profits in what is presumed to be the long­term interest of the society as a whole.The Marxian view seems archaic in this age of mass pro­duction and automation, not only to us but apparently tomany Eastern Bloc economists. For the brilliant advancesin the technology of energy, of mass production, and of auto­mation have created the affluent society. Technology hasexpanded our productive capacity so greatly that eventhough our distribution is still inefficient, and unfair byMarxian precepts, there is more than enough to go around.Technology has provided a "fix" -greatly expanded produc­tion of goods-which enables our capitalist society to achievemany of the aims of the Marxist social engineer withoutgoing through the social revolution Marx viewed as inevi­table. Technology has converted the seemingly intractablesocial problem of widespread poverty into a relatively trac­table one.My second example is war. The traditional Christian posi­tion views war as primarily a moral issue: if men becomegood, and model themselves after the Prince of Peace, theywill live in peace. This doctrine is so deeply ingrained in the spirit of all civilized men that I suppose it is blasphemyto point out that it has never worked very well-that menhave not been good, and that they are not paragons of virtueor even of reasonableness.Though I realize it is a terribly presumptuous claim, I be­lieve that Edward Teller may have supplied the nearestthing to a Quick Technological Fix to the problem of war.The hydrogen bomb greatly increases the provocation neces­sary to lead to large-scale war-and not because men's moti­vations have been changed, not because men have becomemore tolerant and understanding, but rather because theappeal to the primitive instinct of self-preservation has beenintensified far beyond anything we could have imaginedbefore the H-bomb was invented. To point out these thingstoday, with the United States involved in a shooting war,must sound hollow and unconvincing; yet the desperate andpartial peace we have now is much better than a full-fledgedexchange of thermonuclear weapons. One' can't deny thatthe Soviet leaders now recognize the force of H-bombs, andthat this has surely contributed to the less militant attitudeof the - USSR. And one can only hope that the Chineseleadership, as it acquires familiarity with H-bombs, will alsobecome less militant. If I were to be asked who has giventhe world a more effective means of achieving peace-ourgreat religious leaders who urge men to love their neighborsand thus avoid fights, or our weapons technologists whosimply present men with no rational alternative to peace­I would vote for the weapons technologist. That the peacewe get is at best terribly fragile I cannot deny; yet, as I shallexplain, I think technology can help stabilize our imperfectand precarious peace.The Technological Fixes of the FutureAre there other Technological Fixes on the horizon, othertechnologies that can reduce immensely complicated socialquestions to a matter of "engineering"? Are there newtechnologies that offer society ways of circumventing socialproblems and at the same time do not require individuals torenounce short-term advantage for long-term gain?Probably the most important new Technological Fix is theIntra-Uterine Device for birth control. Before the IUD wasinvented, birth control demanded very strong motivation ofcountless individuals. Even with the pill, the individual'smotivation had to be sustained day in and day out; should7it flag even temporarily, the strong motivation of the previousmonth might go for naught. But the IUD, being a one-shotmethod, greatly reduces the individual motivation requiredto induce a social change. To be sure, the mother must besufficiently motivated to accept the IUD in the first place,but, as experience in India already seems to show, it is mucheasier to persuade the Indian mother to accept the IUDonce than it is to persuade her to take a pill every day. TheIUD does not completely replace social engineering by tech­nology; and indeed, in some Spanish American cultureswhere the husbands' manliness is measured by the numberof children he has, the IUD attacks only part of the problem.Yet in many other situations, as in India, the IUD so reducesthe social component of the problem as to make an impos­sibly difficult social problem much less hopeless.Let me turn now to problems which have from the begin­ning had both technical and social components-broadlythose concerned with conservation of our resources: ourenvironment, our water, and our raw materials for produc­tion of the means of subsistence. The social issue here arisesbecause many people by their individual acts cause shortagesand thus create economic, and ultimately social, imbalance.For example, people use water wastefully, or they insist onmoving to California because of its climate, and so we havewater shortages; or too many people drive cars in Los An­geles with its curious meteorology, and so Los Angelessuffocates from smog.The water resources issue is a particularly good exampleof a complicated problem with strong social and techno­logical connotations. Our management of water resourcesin the past has been based largely on the ancient Romandevice, the aqueduct: every water shortage was to be relievedby stealing water from someone else who at the momentdidn't need the water or was too poor or too weak to preventthe theft. Southern California would steal from NorthernCalifornia, New York City from upstate New York, thefarmer who could afford a cloud-seeder from the farmerwho could not afford a cloud-seeder. The social engineerinsists that such short-sighted expedients have got us intoserious trouble; we have no water resources policy, we wastewater disgracefully, and, perhaps, in denying the ethic ofthriftiness in using water, we have generally underminedour moral fiber. The social engineer, therefore, views suchtechnological shenanigans as being short-sighted, if not8 downright immoral. Instead, he says, we should persuade orforce people to use less water, or to stay in the cold middle­west where water is plentiful instead of migrating to Cali­fornia where water is scarce.The water technologist, on the other hand, views the socialengineer's approach as rather impractical. To persuadepeople to use less water, to get along with expensive water,is difficult, time-consuming, and uncertain in the extreme.Moreover, say the technologists, what right does the waterresources expert have to insist that people use water lesswastefully? Green lawns and clean cars and swimming poolsare part of the good life, American style, 1966, and whatright do we have to deny this luxury if there is some alterna­tive to cutting down the water we use?Here we have a sharp confrontation of the two ways ofdealing with a complex social issue: the social engineeringway, which asks people to behave more "reasonably," andthe technologists' way, which tries to avoid changing people'shabits or motivations. Even though I am a technologist, Ihave sympathy for the social engineer. I think we must useour water as efficiently as possible, that we ought to improvepeople's attitudes toward the use of water, and that every­thing that can be done to rationalize our water policy shouldbe welcome. Yet, as a technologist, I believe I see ways ofproviding more water more cheaply than the social engi­neers may concede is possible.I refer to the possibility of nuclear desalination. The socialengineer dismisses the technologist's simple-minded idea ofsolving a water shortage by transporting more water primar­ily because in so doing the water user steals water from some­one else-possibly foreclosing the possibility of ultimatelyutilizing land now only sparsely settled. But surely waterdrawn from the sea deprives no one of his share of water.The whole issue is then a technological one: can fresh waterbe drawn from the sea cheaply enough to have a majorimpact on our chronically water-short areas like SouthernCalifornia, Arizona, and the Eastern Seaboard?I believe the answer is yes, though much hard technicalwork remains to be done. A large program to develop cheapmethods of nuclear desalting has been undertaken by theUnited States, and I have little doubt that within the nextten to twenty years we shall see huge dual-purpose desaltingplants springing up on many parched sea coasts of the World.At first these plants will produce water at municipal prices.But I believe, on the basis of research now in progress atOak Ridge National Laboratory and elsewhere, that waterfrom the sea at a cost acceptable for agriculture-less thanten cents per thousand gallons-is eventually in the cards.In short, that for areas close to the sea coasts, technologyAlvin M. Weinberg can provide water without requiring a great and difficult-to­accomplish change in attitudes toward the ultilization ofwater.The Technological Fix for water is based on the availabilityof extremely cheap energy from very large nuclear reactors.What other social consequences can one foresee flowingfrom really cheap energy eventually available to every coun­try regardless of its endowment of conventional resources?Though we now see only vaguely the outlines of the possi­bilities, it does seem likely that from very cheap nuclearenergy we shall get hydrogen by electrolysis of water, andthence the all-important ammonia fertilizer necessary tohelp feed the hungry of the world; we shall reduce metalswithout requiring coking coal; we shall even power auto­mobiles with electricity, via fuel cells or storage batteries,thus reducing our world's dependence on crude oil, as wellas eliminating our air pollution insofar as it is caused byautomobile exhaust or by the burning of fossil fuels. In short,the widespread availability of very cheap energy everywherein the world ought to lead to an energy autarky in everycountry of the world; and eventually to an autarky in themany staples of life that should flow from really cheapenergy.Will Technology Replace Social Engineering?I hope these examples suggest how social problems can becircumvented or at least reduced to less formidable propor­tions by the application of the Technological Fix. Theexamples I have given do not strike me as being fanciful,nor are they at all exhaustive. I have not touched, for ex­ample, upon the extent to which really cheap computersand improved technology of communication can help im­prove elementary teaching without having first to improveour elementary teachers. Nor have I mentioned RalphNader's brilliant observation that a safer car, and even itsdevelopment and adoption by the auto company, is a quickerand probably surer way to reduce traffic deaths than is acampaign to teach people to drive more carefully. Nor haveI invoked some really fanciful Technological Fixes: likeproviding air conditioners and free electricity to operatethem for every Negro family in Watts on the assumption(suggested by Huntington) that race rioting is correlatedwith hot, humid weather; or the ultimate Technological Fix,Aldous Huxley's Soma Pills that eliminate human unhappi-9ness without improving human relations in the usual sense.My examples illustrate both the strength and the weaknessof the Technological Fix for social problems. The Techno­logical Fix accepts man's intrinsic shortcomings and circum­vents them or capitalizes on them for socially useful ends.The Fix is therefore eminently practical and in the shortterm relatively effective. One doesn't wait around trying tochange people's minds: if people want more water, one getsthem more water rather than requiring them to reduce theiruse of water; if people insist on driving autos while they aredrunk, one provides safer autos that prevent injuries even ina severe accident.But the technological solutions to social problems tendto be incomplete and metastable, to replace one social prob­lem with another. Perhaps the best example of this instabil­ity is the peace imposed upon us by the H-bomb. Evidentlythe pax hydrogenium is metastable in two senses: in theshort term, because the aggressor still enjoys such an advan­tage; in the long term, because the discrepancy between haveand have-not nations must eventually be resolved if we areto have permanent peace. Yet, for these particular short­comings, technology has something to offer. To the imbal­ance between offense and defense, technology says let usdevise passive defense which redresses the balance. A worldwith H-bombs and adequate civil defense is less likely tolapse into thermonuclear war than a world with H-bombsalone, at least if one concedes that the danger of thermo­nuclear war mainly lies in the acts of irresponsible leaders.Anything that deters the irresponsible leader is a force forpeace: a technologically sound civil defense would thereforehelp stabilize the balance of terror.To the discrepancy between haves and have-nots, technol­ogy offers the nuclear energy revolution, with its possibilityof autarky for haves and have-nots alike. How this mightwork to stabilize our metastable thermonuclear peace issuggested by the possible political effect of the recently pro­posed Israeli desalting plant: the Arab states, I should think,would be much less concerned with destroying the JordanRiver Project if the Israelis had a desalination plant in re­serve that would nullify the effect of such action. In thisconnection, I think countries like ours can contribute verymuch. Our country will soon have to decide whether tocontinue to spend 5.5 billion dollars per year for spaceexploration after our lunar landing. Is it too outrageous to10 suggest that some of this money be devoted to building hugenuclear desalting complexes in the arid ocean rims of thetroubled world? If the plants are powered with breeder reac­tors, the out-of-pocket costs, once the plants are built, shouldbe low enough to make large-scale agriculture feasible inthese areas. I estimate that for 4 billion dollars per year wecould build enough desalting capacity to feed more than tenmillion new mouths per year (provided we use agriculturalmethods that husband water), and we would thereby helpstabilize the metastable, bomb-imposed balance of terror.Yet I am afraid we technologists shall not satisfy our socialengineers, who tell us that our Technological Fixes do notget to the heart of the problem; they are at best temporaryexpedients; they create new problems as they solve old ones;to put a technological fix into effect requires a positive socialaction. Eventually, social engineering, like the SupremeCourt decision on desegregation, must be invoked to solvesocial problems. And of course our social engineers are right.Technology will never replace social engineering. But tech­nology has provided and will continue to provide to thesocial engineer broader options, to make intractable socialproblems less intractable; perhaps most of all, technologywill buy time, that precious commodity that converts violentsocial revolution into acceptable social evolution.Our country now recognizes and is mobilizing around thegreat social problems that corrupt and disfigure our humanexistence. It is natural that in this mobilization we shouldlook first to the social engineer. But unfortunately theapparatus most readily available to the government, likethe great Federal Laboratories, is technologically oriented,not socially oriented. I believe we have a great opportunityhere: for many of our seemingly social problems do admitof partial technological solutions. Our already deployedtechnological apparatus can contribute to the resolution ofsocial questions. I plead therefore first for our governmentto deploy its laboratories, its hardware contractors, and itsengineering universities around social problems. And I pleadsecondly for understanding and cooperation between tech­nologist and social engineer. Even with all the help he canget from the technologist, the social engineer's problems arenever really solved. It is only by cooperation between tech­nologist and social engineer that we can hope to achievewhat is the aim of all technologists and social engineers-abetter society, and thereby a better life, for all of us. [JThe Faculty RoundtableHighlights from the Reunion eventso ne characteristic of The University of Chicago oftenremembered by alumni is that the faculty talked-with theconviction of wide experience and knowledge, with enthu­siasm and wit, with deep concern for vital issues, and withdelight in exploring the edges of understanding. That thischaracteristic still prevails was amply demonstrated at theFaculty Roundtable at the June reunion.This year's Roundtable brought together John Hope Frank­lin, Professor in the Department of History; Philip M. Hau­ser, Professor in the Department of Sociology and Directorof the Population Research and Training Center; and HansJ. Morgenthau, the Albert A. Michelson DistinguishedService Professor in the Departments of Political Scienceand History and Director of the Center for the Study ofAmerican Foreign and Military Policy.The issues which emerged in their discussion would befound in the conversations of concerned, intelligent citizensanywhere: racial inequality; urban education; juvenile de­linquency; poverty; war; the population explosion; and soon. Some of the points made proved to be prophetic. Mr.Morgenthau, for example, noted that the social pressureswhich produced the violent racial unrest in the Watts districtin Los Angeles were by no means peculiar to that area, andthat "what happened in Watts last year is a mere indicationof what is likely to happen elsewhere in the United States."Following are excerpts from the two-hour discussion:Morgenthau: I think there exists a great discrepancy, anda menacing discrepancy, between our official rhetoric aboutour social and political life at home and abroad on the onehand and the actual situation which we face at home andabroad on the other. The president talks a great deal aboutconsensus, the spontaneous support of the great majorityof the people for the policies of the government. As suchit is a kind of conformity and uniformity allegedly very goodin itself. It is certainly convenient for the government. ButI think if it were to become a reality it would stifle the dy­namics of American democracy. For a democratic orderdraws its life blood not from consensus but from creativedissent. It is on the basis of the controversies which are aresult of different conditions of life, and the different inter­ests flowing therefrom, that democracy exists. It is exactlythe mark of a non-democratic, totalitarian order that dissen- sion is suppressed, either spontaneously or by force, so thatinstead of dissent you get consensus.If you look at the actual situation which we are facingtoday in this country you realize to what extent beneath thatsurface of material satisfaction and legislative accomplish­ment there exists a host of explosive unsolved problems.Let me turn for a moment to the issue of race. It ought tobe obvious that the enactment of civil rights legislation isnot the culmination of integration of the Negro race intoAmerican life, but merely the beginning. Once those legisla­tive enactments are translated into social, political, andeconomic actualities, they are bound to give rise to violentconflict and to new political configurations which will bequite different from those to which we are accustomed. Ithink it is an illusion to believe that we have almost arrivedat the best of all possible worlds domestically. Quite thecontrary. The very attempt to transform American societyin the image of the basic moral principles upon which thisnation has been founded is bound to give rise to very seriousif not violent social and political dislocations.Franklin: I want to comment about the historical back­ground of the crisis which Hans Morgenthau has described,it seems to me, in moral dimensions. I think he is quite cor­rect in suggesting that most of the crises of this country werefaced in earlier periods. I suspect that even where the criseshave been obvious and even where we have faced themsomewhat concretely, there has been some inclination togloss over them or not to deal with them in the kind of thor­oughness that would be worthy of a great nation and a greatpeople. I know that this is true in many areas of domesticaffairs, and I think it may be true also in some areas of for­eign affairs. I wonder if we are suggesting here-perhaps onlyI am suggesting-a weakness in the national character thatgoes back fairly far and that explains or informs to someextent some of our present difficulties.Morgenthau: Let me answer your comment. You are cer­tainly right that no society ever faces a problem completelysquarely: it always tries to gloss it over with some kind ofideology. But if you compare, for instance, the issue ofslavery a hundred years ago with the issue of integrationtoday, I think you recognize the differences both in the na­ture of the problem and in the way it was faced. The problemof the abolition of slavery was a relatively simple one; it wasa legal problem. You made a proclamation freeing the slaves,11At the Faculty Roundtable: C. Ranlet Lincoln, moderator; JohnHope Franklin; Philip M. Hauser; and Hans J. Morgenthau.and legally they were free. Today we face an entirely differ­ent problem, infinitely more complex and infinitely less sus­ceptible of a simple, clear-cut solution. That's why Americansociety 100 years ago was more capable of facing the prob­lem of slavery than we are capable of facing the problemof integration.Franklin: However, 100 years ago I don't think they didface the problem squarely or even honestly. I think that'strue in the nature of the Emancipation Proclamation-whichby the way did not legally set anyone free-and I think it isalso true in the attitude that we had toward even the 13th12 Amendment, which did set the slaves free. A lack of realconviction, a lack of commitment in those days has, I think,led directly to our present attitudes toward the problems ofrace and integration. Because we didn't really look at theproblems squarely, and because we developed no habit andindeed no facilities for looking at it squarely, we have a kindof moral bankruptcy with regard to this question today.Hauser: Let me add some thoughts here, John. I am theonly one here without any root in the department of history,so perhaps I can ignore the historical facts and look at the'contemporary situation. Without necessarily disagreeing withwhat's been said, I think we have reached a very significantturning point in the field of inter-group relations, particu,larly with respect to the Negro. We have never had anofficial document on the subject that comes to grips withthe problems in as realistic a way as President Johnson'saddress at the Commencement at Howard University a yearago. What is lacking now is a follow-up on the state and locallevels of the kinds of thoughts and kinds of propositions andkinds of action proposed in the President's statement. Upuntil now we didn't even have the right rhetoric. I thinkthe right rhetoric may at least be a point from which we candepart into the right actions ....The rate of world population growth is accelerating, andhas been since at least the neolithic period 10,000 yearsago. In the history of man there has been a continuousacceleration in the rate of world population growth. Fromthe paleolithic to the present time the rate of populationgrowth has increased a thousandfold from perhaps 2 percent per millenium to, at present, 2 per cent per annum.The present world population of 3.3 billion people is increas­ing by 66 millions per year. Such an increase produces anew United States of America on this planet every threeyears. The developing regions of the world, some increasingat rates well over 3 per cent per annum, are finding burgeon­ing population growth a basic obstacle to efforts to achievehigher living standards. To the extent that they fail in theirefforts to achieve higher levels of living, we can be assuredthat overpopulation will be one of the factors generatingsocial unrest, political instabilities, and threats to world peacefor at least the remainder of this century.Another aspect of the problem which has definitely wors­ened is that related to the world's food supply. In LatinAmerica, a continent which is now increasing at the rate of3 per cent per annum-a rate at which population doublesevery 23 years-food production per capita has actuallydeclined by 6 per cent from 1961 to 1964. On the continentof Asia food production per capita has declined by 3 percent. Thus for well over half the world's population, forseveral years now, food production has not been able tokeep up with the rate of population growth.Let me turn next to the national situation. In the UnitedStates the decline in our birth rate has continued. We arenow down to a growth rate of about 1.2 per cent per year,which is small compared with the rates to which I have justreferred for the world and particularly for the developingregions, but which is still a very large rate of growth. Thepopulation of this nation is officially estimated now in excess of 196 million. With allowances for under-enumeration inour censuses, our nation now probably has 200 millionpeople. But even if we usethe official figure of 196 million,and even with the decreasing birth rate, we will have anestimated population of 263 million by 1985. This meansthat within the next 20 years we shall increase our popula­tion by a number almost as great as the population of theUnited Kingdom and Canada combined. Now some aspectsof the increase give gratification to those with immediateinterests-in marketing, let us say, where more babies meansmore diapers to sell, and so on. But it also means moreharassment for the commuter trying to get to work in themorning. It means more water pollution. It means more airpollution. It means a good many things from the standpointof increased intervention of government into our social andeconomic affairs; and so on.Politicians and police agencies, who know little of elemen­tary statistics, are making a fuss over increasing crime anddelinquency in the streets. I want to call your attention tothe post-war baby boom, which has produced 80 millionbabies since the mobilization in 1946-1 suppose proving,among other things, that the American people have not beenasleep. Because of this tremendous baby boom, the propor­tion of youngsters 15 to 19 years of age is increasing bysomething like 45 per cent between 1960 and 1970. Theproportion of young people 20-24 is increasing by 56 percent. Now most of our juvenile delinquency comes fromthe younger, 15-19 year-old group. Even if the delinquencyrates remained the same there would be an increase withinthis decade of 45 per cent in the volume of juvenile delin­quency, due to the post-war baby boom. Now there is nocorresponding 45 per cent increase in police or in variousagencies to deal with juvenile delinquency.Consider the 20-25 age group, where the more seriouscrimes are committed. The increase of the size of this agegroup, even if the crime rate stays the same, produces a 56per cent increase in crime. Of course the same increase willbe seen in automobile accidents with drivers under 25. Theautomobile, incidentally, is the most lethal weapon that oursociety has yet contrived. What I'm saying is that some ofthe fuss about this generation "going to hell"-as everygeneration has in the past-is simply attributable to thefact that public officials and the public at large never hadStatistics 101. 013Robie House:Home of the Stevenson Institute14 RObie House, Frank Lloyd Wright's internationallyknown masterpiece on the University campus, has been inrecent years little more than a visitors' stopping-place anda model for students of architecture. Once threatened withrazing, Robie House was saved by a sympathetic publicand the University's assumption of responsibility for itspreservation. But that was only a partial solution, for RobieHouse, designed to function but long unoccupied, sufferedfor lack of purpose. Now it has one. It will be the home ofthe Adlai E. Stevenson Institute of International Affairs,the newly-founded memorial to the late Ambassador to theUnited Nations and former Governor of Illinois.Announcement of the memorial came on July 14, 1966,the first anniversary of the distinguished statesman's death,and was made by Hermon D. Smith, newly-elected Presidentof the Stevenson.Memorial Fund; Mrs. Edison Dick, a UCalumna and Vice-President of the Fund; and Adlai E.Stevenson, III, eldest son of the late Ambassador.Mr. Smith said that the Institute "will provide a center inwhich the world's most distinguished statesmen, scholars,government officials, and practical men of affairs will meetto study problems affecting international peace."Provost Edward H. Levi said: "We at The University ofChicago are extremely pleased by the decision to make OUrcampus the home of the Stevenson Institute. The programof the Institute will be important to statesmen and scholarsfrom all over the world."The University is making available Robie House, the firstof Frank Lloyd Wright's 'prairie houses,' to serve as thehome for the Institute. It seems especially fitting that thisworld-significant new venture, honoring a statesman ofbroad vision and legendary grace of speech, who was of theMiddle West and loved his prairie home, and who spoke forand to the academic community, should now be housed inthis architectural landmark on a university campus."According' to a statement from the Stevenson MemorialFund, it was decided to establish the permanent headquartersof the Institute on the UC campus "because of the manyadvantages this provides, including proximity to libraries andother specialized academic resources. The Institute, whichwill be autonomous in organization, plans to work in clOsecooperation with The University of Chicago, as well as othercenters of learning in the Chicago area and throughout thenation and the world." An initial goal of $10,000,000 hasbeen set to provide funds for establishing the Institute, and anationwide public solicitation is being prepared.RObie House was designed in 1906 by Frank LloydWright for Frederick C. Robie, a Chicago manufacturer.Its scrupulously supervised construction, completed in 1909,has been attributed to Harrison Barnard, who later becamea trustee of the University. The house is located at 5757Woodlawn Avenue, at the corner of 58th Street. Its esti­mated cost was $35,000. In keeping with his principle ofdesigning a structure as an organic whole, the architect alsodesigned the furnishings, including much of the furniture anda hand-woven rug said to have cost $10,000.The Chicago Theological Seminary, located across Wood­lawn A venue from Robie House, purchased the building in1926, primarily as a site for possible future expansion. CTSused Robie House variously as a classroom building, a din­ing hall, a temporary dormitory, and a conference center.In 1957 CTS announced that, in view of necessary struc­tural and building code repairs estimated to cost from $75,000 to $100,000, the house could not be preserved andwould be razed to provide part of a site for a married stu­dents' residence. The announcement brought a flurry ofprotests and an unsuccessful movement to raise funds tosave the structure. Meanwhile, CTS succeeded in acquiringother property large enough to accommodate the new hous­ing. Robie House was purchased for $102,000 by Webb &Knapp National Corp., which used the building briefly asa temporary construction headquarters, then offered it toany agency that would undertake its preservation. In 1963the University agreed to assume responsibility for RobieHouse with the expectation that sufficient funds for itsrestoration would eventually be raised.In 1957 a panel of leading architects and art historiansselected Robie House and "Falling Water," another Wrightbuilding, as the two outstanding houses built in the UnitedStates in the recent century. In a 1958 survey of the entirearchitectural profession, Robie House was voted the mostdistinguished American residence in the same period. In1960 it was designated an Architectural Landmark by theCity of Chicago; and in 1964 it was named a National His­toric Landmark by Secretary of the Interior Udall. 015Excerpt:Harper's UniversityRichard J. StorrA s a source of tradition, an intangible endowment,Harper's death supplemented his life. Dying, he provided aclimax to his hitherto unceasing pursuit of unity. His defectswere not immediately forgotten and indeed were spoken ofwith remarkable frequency; but even before his death, theimpression that he created as a fallible man began to dimas a heroic Harper emerged. More closely perhaps than thatof any other university president, the stark outline of hishistory did resemble the myth of the hero-of the championstruck down in battle, before his time but to the salvationof his cause. Ten years earlier, before coming to the Univer­sity, William Vaughn Moody had said of Harper: "... he isas yet a strangely mythical figure in my mind." In October,1905, Robert Herrick, once the sharp-tongued detractor ofan academic boss, wrote from Florence: "Harper's end ispathetic and tragic, and also ennobling. He seems larger,the further you get away, and his educational rawness andfatuities less important. ... It may be cowardly, but I can'thelp being glad to be away from the end-the grip of diseaseon the courageous man."Nothing about Harper is more impressive than the inabilityof his friends and colleagues to remain indifferent to hispersonality. It resembled a natural phenomenon with whichbeholders must somehow come to terms. The judgmentsRichard 1. Storr, Associate Professor in the Department ofHistory, worked for over ten years on Harper's University(The University of Chicago Press), a history of the foundingand early years of the University. passed upon Harper fell with striking frequency into bal­anced phrases, as if he were the embodiment of dialectic:"He had the mind and manners of a captain of industry, buthe had the heart and soul of a scholar and a sage." "Scholars,high-minded and serious of purpose, are many. Doers, ac­tive, confident, and successful, are more numerous still.Men are harder to come upon, and our friend was a man.""President Harper, like every great man, derived his strengthfrom the union of opposite qualities. . . . Among theseblendings in President Harper's nature none seems ... morenoteworthy or more mysterious-for without mystery thereis no deepness of soul-than his warm personal loyalty tofriends, while in the conduct of any enterprise his attitudetoward individuals :was as impersonal as the force of gravita­tion." "A strong man is apt to be ruthless, and PresidentHarper had tremendous strength of will. But he never meantto be unkind. . . . Sometimes he acted to all appearancesautocratically, but at heart he was a democrat of democrats.""Dr. Harper had respect for the past that often seemed toverge upon ritualism. At the same time his insight into theprovisional character of men's achievements prompted anindependence of the past frequently branded as iconoclasm.""He united in a singular degree conservatism and progres­siveness, idealism and practicality, the intellectual and theemotional, the material and the spiritual."A stranger who had seen Harper order a dinner, saidAlbion Small, might forever cherish the illusion that the keyto his whole character was to be found in the tastes of anepicure; another stranger who had seen Harper leave the16table for a night or day or several days of forced work withscarcely a thought for food or sleep might say that the manwas at heart an ascetic and the pleasures of the table weremerely items in a program of winning his way by a show ofgood fellowship. Judging solely by the amount of thoughtand labor Harper would expend upon the forms and cere­monies of an academic or social function, one might easilyclassify him as a martinet with a vision only for trifles. Orknowing Harper solely while he was studying large questionsof general policy, one might gain the idea that he carednothing whatever for details but was interested only in prob­ing essential principles. Some men might imagine that Har­per was at bottom a hard-headed man of affairs, cynicallyindulgent of the superstitions of others, prudently silentabout his contempt for their opinions, but really a paganand a materialist. Others would discover in him a simpleand sturdy Christian faith daily overcoming the world. Fewpersonalities, Small continued, were less the consequenceof a predominating trait. Harper's personality was a per­petual transformation of energy, the principle of coherencebeing an inclusive moral conception.I t was the paradox of 'Harper's life that his activity wasextraordinarily varied-as he struggled with finances on thehard terms set in 1903, he completed a work of fundamentalscholarship, his Commentary on Amos and Hosea-and yetthat he retained a moral simplicity that is only inadequately described as a conception. The word smacks too much offormal thought. As Harper lay dying, he had called for afew friends, notably, Ernest D. Burton and Albion W. Small:Harper to Burton: There are only a few people that I cantalk to now, or that I think can help me .... What is therebeyond this life?Burton: Tome it all goes back to my conviction that thisis a good world. That at the heart and center of thingsthere is a mind, and that mind benevolent. But not only doI believe that it is a good world in the sense that it is underthe government of a good God, but I believe also that theprogress of things is toward what is better. You know alreadythat I feel that the poets and prophets have more to teachus than the scholars and investigators, that the man of in­sight is wiser than the man of learning, and what the poetsand prophets dream of and hope for at length comes trueif only they dream and hope for good things. Progress isslow, and there are many back-steps, but things are movingon toward the better. And this being the case I must believethat there is something beyond this world better than this.Fundamental to my thought of what that is is the thoughtof Jesus as I understand it, the thought, namely, that he whohas come into fellowship with that spirit of goodness that isat the heart of things, can never lose that fellowship, andso can never cease to be, and because that spirit of goodnessis good, and because things are moving on toward the better,the fellowship beyond this life must be better even than thatof this life. And furthermore, because I cannot think of im-17personal existence as better than personal life, I am almostcompelled to think of the life to come as personal.Harper (after Burton had explained his belief): This isgood; this is helpful. But what do you mean by fellowshipwith God? What about the man who has not lived in fellow­ship with God? I cannot say anything about the rest of you,but I have had a bad past. My record is not good ....Burton (in response to Harper's question about the mean­ing of fellowship with God): ... We cart put it in the termsin which Jesus generally put it. He thought of God as Father,and lived in the consciousness of intimate fellowship withthat Father .... I count myself happiest when the sense ofGod's fatherhood and my relation to him as son is deep andvivid .... But there are times when I cannot thus think ofGod, when I am compelled rather to think of the universeand of the spirit of goodness and of wisdom which is at theheart of that universe ....Harper: You cannot always think of God as Father?Burton: No, I wish I could; that is the best; but I do notalways find it possible ....Harper (after Burton had said more about the nature offellowship) : That helps me.Later, Harper asked Burton about the significance of thesuffering of Jesus; and as Harper talked, Burton could easilysee that Harper's mind was dwelling upon the moral short­comings and failures of his life. It occurred to Burton tospeak as he supposed most Christian .ministers would havedone, telling Harper that Christ had suffered the penalty ofhis sins upon the cross and that the debt was paid there.But Burton had felt from the beginning that Harper hadasked him to answer his questions because he thought thatBurton would speak from his heart and without any conven­tional phraseology or theological formulas. He spoke ofGod's forgiveness for the man who turns his back upon hissins and who seeks fellowship with God. This idea was theheart of a climactic conversation.Small: Dr. Harper, there is one thing we want to say toyou, and that is that we do not at all agree with the harshverdict which you are evidently passing upon your past life.We are not here to say that there have been no mistakes andno faults, but that as we know you, and we believe that we18 do know you thoroughly, your life has been controlled cen­trally by the purpose to do the work that God gave you todo. We know, of course, that you have been occupied withaffairs and have been soiled with the dust of the everydaywork and conflict, but these things were necessary, and weare perfectly confident that the main purpose of your lifehas been right, and that its result has been vastly helpful.Harper: I cannot say these things. You say them becauseyou do not know me. Your characterization of my life isnot mine. Some of the things you say are true, but personalambition will account for a large part of what I have done.. . . I have not followed Jesus Christ as closely as I oughtto have done. I have come down from the plane on whichI ought to have lived. I have justified it to myself at timesas necessary because I was carrying so heavy loads. But Isee now that it was all wrong.Burton: Well, suppose we take your view of it, supposewe grant what all you say.Harper (interrupting): I -think we will have to take it onthat basis.Burton: Now the question is after all the experiences oflife, after all its successes and failures, is it your deepestwish that your will and purpose be in harmony with or con­trary to that of the heavenly Father? Whether you have an­other year to live or a million years to live in this world oranother, do you want your life in its purpose and effect torun parallel with and to be in harmony with the purpose andwill of the infinite Spirit of goodness?The answer in Harper's mind was evident to Burton. Yet,since it was also clear that Harper was not wholly satisfied,Burton tried again:Burton: Dr. Harper, suppose your boy Paul had been outof harmony with you, disobedient to your wishes, rebelliousand ugly, and after no matter how long a time, he shouldcome back to you and say, "Father, I have done wrong, Iknew your way was right, but I have preferred to do myown way, but now I want to do your way, I know it is agood way, and I am through with rebellion and seliwill, andI want to live in harmony in your home." Would you sayto him, "But you or somebody else will have to be punishedfor that sin before you can come back," or would you sayto him, "I] that is the way you feel, Paul, come back toyour father's house and to your father's love"? What youwould do for Paul is what God is ready to do for everyoneof us.Small (interrupting, in a choked voice): That is what Jesustaught us in the parable of the prodigalson.Harper (after some minutes of conversation): I can trustHim. I believe God will be as good to me as I would be tomy boy.Wn Burton next saw Harper, he was at peace abouthimself. To the world, who knew Harper by his accomplish­ments, it might have seemed that the parable of the talentswould be a source of comfort. It was in faith, however, andnot in works that Harper found his peace. Even so at theend Harper prayed: May it be that for me there shall belife beyond this life, and may there be in that life work stillto do, tasks still to accomplish. That was Harper the human being, acutely sensitive inconscience, besieged by the abiding questions of life and itssuffering, impatient with easy answers, hungry for friend­ship, comforted by an awareness of grace, and restless to theend in the thought of work to be done. The man, that para­dox of simplicity and complexity, truly lived-more fullythan do most men. The contradictions of his life are the mostpoignant evidence of his vitality. He lived enough andwrought enough, his colleagues on the Board declared, tostart a new epoch and to endow it with lasting consciousness.But to what had Harper, the academic official as well asthe man, awakened the people about him? The institutionover which he presided became possessed by a sense of itsown uniqueness. The University has never been long con­tent to be but a member of a class: awareness of an obliga­tion to be great has been a part of its history. But greatnessin what? The University has been rich in money, buildings,and the talents of its individual professors, but other univer­sities have been as rich. Upon the older of them Chicagodrew for inspiration and for its Faculty members. Theoriginal plan of the University was spectacular, but it fellfar short of fulfilment. Harper did not succeed in awakeningsuch admiration for his ideal university-for Harper's Uni­versity per se-that his colleagues would follow all the wayalong the course he charted. Had they tried to do so, theUniversity might well have consumed its material wealth­and the last of their energies-only to face retrenchment.In any case, the plans Harper made could hardly have beenmore significant than the way in which he worked. Men makeuniversities, Robert Herrick observed, as once they madegreat temples, blindly, not conceiving the ultimate ends towhich they will be devoted, out of some inner necessity oftheir spirits. There is that quality in the history of the Harperadministration in spite of Harper's vision and his near obses­sion with the elaboration of plans. The events which madethe administration what it was were not wholly subject tohuman domination, and much of its history is the recordof a struggle to harness the forces at work in the University.What might have been a disastrous explosion failed to occur,possibly because of Harper's fatal illness. And yet evenafter he was stricken, Harper was driven by an inner neces­sity of the spirit; he created an atmosphere charged withenergy, excitement, tension, and a sense of mission. He lefta legacy and a legend of dynamism. D19Quadrangle NewsFaculty-Student Housing - For the firsttime in the University's seventy-five-yearhistory, faculty members, administrators,and in some cases their families, will livefor short periods in Shorey House, amen's dormitory at 5514 South UniversityAvenue.Jack Kolb, a fourth year student in theCollege and president of Shorey House,said the plan is designed to "increase theopportunities for students and faculty tomeet informally outside the classroom."Similar plans at other universities haveoften failed, said Kolb, because "thegroundwork of informal contacts had notbeen well laid. But the students at ShoreyHouse, building upon several years of ex­perience with faculty lectures in the house,informal get-togethers, dinners, and theFaculty Fellows Program (under whichfaculty members eat one meal per weekwith the students), think they have goodreason for success." So far faculty responsehas been enthusiastic, and thirty-five fac­ulty members have agreed to participatein the program.Honorary Degrees-Honorary Doctor ofScience degrees were awarded to threedistinguished scholars at the University's314th Convocation on June 10.

They are awarded annually to twooutstanding scholar-athletes who plan toenter the University of Chicago. Recipientsmust be in the top ten per cent of theirhigh school classes and must have partici­pated in at least one varsity sport.Track Roundup- Twenty-five members ofThe University of Chicago varsity tracksquad participated in the Open Meet heldon Stagg Field on April 16. Athletes fromChicago, DePaul, Loyola, and North Cen­tral also competed in the 15-event pro­gram. No team scores were kept, but UCtrackmen made a good showing. Carl A.Dixon, a freshman, placed fourth in the100-yard dash. In the 120-yard high hur­dles Theodore Terpstra finished third,John Beal was fourth, and Edward Hoor­naert was fifth. Sophomore Jan Nilssonran a fine 1: 56.6 half mile to finish third.Robert LaRoque took fifth place in the.440-yard intermediate hurdles; and JohnFekety, Tom James, Alan Ferber, andArthur Green all placed in the shot put.Fekety and Ferber both placed in the dis­cus throw as well.

The 2-milerelay team of LaRoque, Kojola, Peppard,and Cottingham finished with a time of8 :09.4, but failed to place.Season Summary-More than half of thevarsity athletic teams at The University ofChicago posted winning records during1965-66, in what was probably the lastfull season of play on historic Stagg Field.Six of the University's eleven intercollegi- ate teams had better than .500 recordsduring the year, compared with only threeof eleven in the 1964-65 season. In all sportsthe Maroon athletes won 65 contests andlost 69. The golf team, with nine wins andtwo losses, had the best winning percent­age of the current season and broughthome the Chicago Collegiate Golf Confer­ence season championship. Robert D.Kreidler, Golf Coach and Assistant Pro­fessor of Physical Education, said: "Wehad a virtually new team, with only threereturning players. Luckily our freshmencame through very nicely. We lost only oneman through graduation in June and arelooking forward to another good seasonthis year." The Maroon cross-countrysquad and the basketball team were alsohighly successful during the past season.The cross-country runners won eight often meets, and the basketball team won 12of 16 games. Both teams are expected tobe strong during the 1966-67 season. Win­ning season records were also posted bythe swimming, tennis and track teams.The intercollegiate teams at the Uni­versity and their 1965-66 season recordsare: Baseball, won 4, lost 11; basketball,12-4; cross-country, 8-2; fencing, 5-10;golf, 9-2; gymnastics, 1-10; soccer, 2-8;swimming, 6-4; tennis, 5-3; indoor track,7-4; outdoor track, 5-4; wrestling, 1-7.23ProfilesAlbert Dorfman"It is no longer possible to distinguishmedicine from basic biology. The two areso closely interrelated that for a depart­ment of pediatrics to function in any kindof modern fashion today, it must constant­ly be in the forefront of investigation inthe field of biology on the one hand, andmust be giving to biology the advantagesof the knowledge of human beings-theirbehavior and their diseases-that accruefrom clinical work." To Albert Dorfmanthe above is more than a personal view­point on the relation of medicine to sci­ence. It is the operating principle of theSilva in and Arma Wyler Children's Hos­pital at The University of Chicago, dedi­cated August 28. Dorfman is Chief ofStaff of the new hospital.He was born in Chicago on July 6, 1916,received his SB degree from the Univer­sity in 1936, his PhD in 1939, and his MDin 1944. Dorfman served his internshipat Beth Israel Hospital in Boston, thenreturned to the University in 1945 as resi­dent in pediatrics at the Clinics. Exceptfor the years 1946-48 when he was at theUnited States Army Medical School aschief of biochemistry, Dorfman has beenwith the University ever since. In 1953 hewas appointed Associate Professor of Pe­diatrics and in 1957 he became Professorand Chairman of the Department of Pedia­trics. In 1965 he was named Richard T.Crane Professor of Pediatrics.Dorfman's special field of interest is thechemistry of connective tissue, the tissuewhich is affected by rheumatic fever andrelated rheumatic and arthritic diseases. In1957 he received the E. Mead JohnsonAward for Research in Pediatrics for hiswork on the causes of Hurler's syndrome.This rare metabolic disease, Dorfman dis­covered, is caused by an abnormality oftwo complex sugars-acid mucopolysac­charides-which are crucial to the synthesisof connective tissue. "One of the greatest24 breakthroughs in the history of man'sknowledge has occurred in the last four orfive years as a result of the modern workin biochemical genetics," Dorfman says."This has opened up a vast field, not onlyfor the basic understanding of the mech­anisms of genetics and inheritance, butalso directly applicable to human disease."Speaking of his own work on Hurler's syn­drome, a hereditary disease which not onlyhas mental retardation effects but whichalso produces profound abnormalities ofbone, heart, and other body tissues, hesays that the results of the studies have"given us for the first time an insight of thepossible relationship between a specificbiochemical defect and certain structuraldefects of the body."Since he is a doctor as well as a researchscientist, Dorfman is quick to point outthat the new children's hospital will notbe only a set of laboratories. In the past30 years "pediatrics, and indeed all ofmedicine, have undergone a profoundchange; one might call it a revolution."Thus the treatment part of the new facilitywill incorporate many features which rep­resent changes in attitude in regard to thecare of children in hospitals. Years agoparents' visiting hours with their childrenwere severely restricted, "based on theconcept that a child had to be separatedfrom the family" if he were to be treated properly. However, Dorfman says that"we know now this is fallacious." Thechildren's hospital of even the recent pastwas an institution offering little more than"pity, sympathy, and charity." Dorfmanfeels that it is important to retain thesehumanitarian impulses, but that to' themshould be added the full power of modernscience. In this spirit the new hospital willhave not only complete research facilities,but accommodations in aU of the children'srooms to enable the mother to stay over­night if the doctor deems it desirable. AsDorfman puts it, "we know now that thecare of a sick child involves the parentsvery intimately."The keynote of Dorfman's philosophy isa skillful interplay of the doctor's humani­tarianism with the scientist's quest forknowledge. The result is better care forthe patient and more technical progress inboth medicine and science. Much progresshas already been made in the fields of pub­lic health, nutrition, immunization, controlof infection, and the use of antibiotics.But much still remains to be done. InDorfman's words, there is still "a widerange of equally significant problems ofchildhood which have not yet come undercontrol." It is his fervent hope that,through close cooperation, medicine andscience will, in the years to come, be ableto understand and control many of them.Dr. Dorfman (third from left) with student doctors at the University Clinics.William H. HaleWilliam H. Hale is a man who wants tobuild a greenhouse in an isolated, wind­swept area of northern Oklahoma. Theson of a struggling dirt farmer, he is todaythe President of Langston (Oklahoma)University. The greenhouse he is buildingis Langston itself, a "greenhouse for theintellectually undernourished."Hale was born on August 8, 1914, inKrebs, Oklahoma, and attended Langstonas an undergraduate. He received his BSin sociology and education there in 1940.He then attended the University of Wis­consin, where he received a Master's de­gree in Sociology in 1941. There followeda variety of administrative and teachingjobs at Fisk University, Bethune-CookmanCollege, Langston, Atlanta University, andHampton Institute. In 1946 he came toThe University of Chicago for more workin sociology, and received his PhD in1949. He then went to Clark College,where he later became Chairman of theDepartment of Sociology.Hale returned to Langston as Presidentin September 1960 and at once inheriteda mass of problems, most of them stem­ming, ironically enough, from the fact thatsegregation had been legally outlawed forseveral years. Langston had been foundedas a Colored Agricultural and NormalUniversity in 1897. It was placed by theOklahoma Legislature in an isolated area,well removed from urban areas and whitesettlements. Its role was to prepare N e­groes for "fit" occupations (a buildingerected in 1926 had "Tailoring" inscribedabove its door). Since the end of officialsegregation in 1954, however, many feltthat there was no further need for an all­Negro school like Langston, and pressuremounted to close it. Many of Langston'sstudents transferred to better schools. In1960 Langston graduated only sixty-sevenstudents.However, Hale did not accept the presi- dency of Langston in order to see theschool relegated to extinction. He felt thatit was Langston's destiny "to develop peo­ple to the extent that they can move onsomewhere else." In this spirit he hasbecome dedicated to the propagation of anew image of Langston. Six years agothe Oklahoma State Legislature passeda resolution which noted the importanteducational service which Langston hadperformed and "which will increasingly berequired ... in the years which lie. ahead."The "Tailoring" building now houses. anelectronics laboratory. While much stillremains to be done, Hale feels that todayLangston's future is brighter.Since that legislative vote· of confidencea $2,000,000 building program has beenstarted. Last year, enrollment had in­creased to almost 1200, including fifteenwhite students. Langston has $418,816 infederal funds approved for the 1966-1967fiscal year, and has applications totalingan additional $4.3 million on file. Hale hasreceived a great deal of help in this regardfrom his wife, Larzette, who studiedbriefly at The University of Chicago. Sheis an expert on the federal laws pertainingto schools in Langston's circumstances andis now called upon periodically to helpgovernment officials examine applicationsfrom other schools for accuracy . andvalidity.Hale feels that "youngsters must be en­couraged and guided to go to college fromthe time they are old enough to' begintheir first formal education." He has ini­tiated a kindergarten-to-college programat Langston which is designed to serve notonly Langston's future, but that of Negrohigher education in America. Langstonunder President Hale has participatedactively in the Head Start program to pre­pare five-year olds for school. Langstonalso has a Sixth Grade Day each year,when primary students come to the uni­versity to be encouraged to stay in schooland go on to college. This is followed byan Upward Bound program in which about100 high school sophomores and juniorsspend two months of the summer at Langs­ton in order to improve their chances for a post-high school education. Finally, Halehas been rapidly improving Langston'sown campus facilities. He has installed amodern reading clinic, new equipment,and better student facilities; instituted asuccessful career guidance and placementprogram; and began a system of honorsclasses to aid gifted students. Where sixyears ago Langston was losing students inlarge numbers to other institutions, todayit has the lowest dropout rate of any Okla­homa state school. Hale says, "I've alwaysbelieved that God didn't necessarily pickout well-to-do children to endow withintelligence.

How heaccomplished the feat in those pre-aviation days remainsa mystery (a captive balloon has been suggested).The original copper plate, in perfect condition, was re­cently found by an art dealer in an eastern warehouse, andrestrikes have been made available to the Alumni Associa­tion, to be offered to Chicago alumni.The Chicago engraving, measuring 15 by 22 inches, isbeautifully hand-colored in soft hues with fine importedwater colors. It is available either unframed or handsomelymatted with ivory vellum in an antique gold and blackframe, 26 by 37 inches overall. A folder describing thebuildings represented, prepared by the University Archi­vist, accompanies each engraving.The Chicago engraving makes a distinctive gift, a taste­ful, authentic work whose historical interest will be furtherenhanced as the University grows.
