fi/KK.fhe University of Chicagonagazine July/August 1968e 1968 ReunionTHEUNIVERSITYOE CHICAGOvLIBRARYA Note to Subscribers ConcerningChanges in Magazine Policy:This issue marks the beginning of atwo-phase modification of Magazine policy, approved by the Executive Committeeof the Alumni Association Cabinet andintended to serve readers and the Uni-versity more effectively. The changes inthe Magazine's publication schedule andits circulation are part of the Association^ continuing efforts to bring ailalumni into a closer and more mutuallybénéficiai relationship with the Univer-sity.Phase one of the new plan is reflectedin the July/August dateline on this issue,the first summer publication in the Magazine's sixty-year history. Henceforth theMagazine will be published bimonthlythroughout the year, instead of monthlyduring the autumn, winter, and springquarters. The new schedule avoids thefour-month gap — June 1 to October 1 —during the summer, and it conforms moreclosely to the year-around schedule pi-oneered by The University of Chicagoover seventy-five years ago.Phase two will begin with the 1969January/February issue, when a numberof additional changes will be made. Anew design format will be adopted, andthe number of pages will be increased.But most importantly, the Magazine willthereafter be sent to ail alumni on acomplimentary basis. Formerly, onlyfaculty members and new graduâtes re-ceived free subscriptions.Inévitable questions on the dispositionof paid subscriptions will arise, and theAssociation is taking steps to insure fullsatisfaction for ail subscribers.Those whose subscriptions end in De-cember, 1968, will note that, despite thechange to a bimonthly schedule, thenormal number of nine issues will appearthis year. Publication of the three remain-ing issues has simply been rescheduled forJuly/August, September/October, andNovember/December.However, there are a number of paidsubscribers whose subscription periodsextend beyond the current year.

As you know,I am bound to The University of Chicago both by familydes and by personal ones. Many years ago, the welfare ofthis university was one of my grandfather's great con-cerns, and I myself hâve warm memories of my years hèreas a graduate student and my later association as atrustée.Ail of this makes my task as speaker far easier, for itis always reassuring to find oneself with old friends infamiliar surroundings. This is a fact which an acquaintanceof mine was forcefully reminded of during a récent trans-atlantic flight. As my friend tells it, the plane he wasaboard was halfway to Europe when the pilot's voicesuddenly came over the public address system."Ladies and gentlemen," the pilot said, "I hâve twopièces of news for you. One of them is good and one ofthem is not so good. So Fil tell you the bad news first.The bad news is that we are lost; we just don't know wherewe are. But as I told you, there's good news, too. Thegood news is that we hâve a 200-mile-an-hour tail wind."There are times when it seems to me that that storysums up the current state of American society: we don'tknow where we are going, but, quite clearly, we are gettingthere awfully fast. One of the most dramatic manifestations of this is the vast différence in attitudes between thecurrent crop of young people and their parents — that pain-ful lack of communication which the press has christened"the génération gap."At first glance, the génération gap may seem a some-what irrelevant topic to discuss before a business-orientedgroup. But it strikes me that far from being irrelevant, itis a subject of vital concern to businessmen because it isof vital concern to the future of this nation. As theBritish statesman Edmund Burke remarked long ago:"Tell me what is in the minds of our young people today, and I will tell you what is to be the character of the nextgénération."If Burke's observation was valid in the 18th century, itis even more valid in our own time. The next génération,in fact, is already upon us; almost half the population ofthis country — approximately forty-seven percent of it, infact — is now under twenty-five. And what the youngpeople of today and tomorrow do with our society willdétermine the future of American business. For I needhardly remind you that in broad terms, business flourishesor decays as the society within which it opérâtes flourishesor decays.So none of us hère can afford to ignore the changingsocial, political, and intellectual standards summed up inthat phrase "the génération gap." Admittedly, young menchange as they become older, but there is, I think, nomore dangerous half-truth than the assertion that today'sstudent radical is tomorrow's arch-conservative. It is truethat people learn, moderate, and even compromise as theypass from youth into maturity. But it is uncommon in myexpérience for a man to abandon completely the basicphilosophie prédispositions he acquired in youth. It seemsto me almost inévitable that the America of tomorrow willreflect, at least to some degree, the aspirations and convictions as well as the skepticism that our young peoplehold today.Ail of which leads to some questions.Are those aspirations and convictions so différent fromour own?David Rockefeller, PhD'40, a Life Trustée of the University,is président of the Chase Manhattan Bank. This article is thetext of his address to the 16th Annual Management Conférence, sponsored early this year by the Executive ProgramClub of the Graduate School of Business.2Does the génération gap, in fact, really exist?Or, rather, hasn't there always been a génération gapand is there any reason to think the présent one is un-commonly wide?It is, after ail, more than 2,000 years since Aristotlemade this observation: "Young people hâve exalted notions because they hâve not yet been humbled by life orlearned its necessary limitations ... Ail their mistakesare in the direction of doing things excessively. Theyoverdo everything — they love too much, hâte too muchand the same with everything else."At first blush, that seems reassuring. Perhaps, we tellourselves, things haven't really changed since Aristotle'sday. But immodest as it may sound, I feel that youth isone subject on which I am not less an expert than Aristotle.He, after ail, had only two children and I hâve six!I can assure you from the conversations around mydinner table that the génération gap not only exists but isfar wider than it was in my youth or in my father's youth.Indeed, I do not see how it could be otherwise. Forchanges in prevailing human attitudes seem to me to re-flect primarily changes in environment. And never beforein history has man's environment changed so rapidly andradically as it is doing now. Consider just this fact: theâge of the electronic computer, with ail its vast implications in the management of human affairs, has dawnedwithin the lifetime of the young men and women now incollège.Inevitably, the swirling pace of technological changes —and the sociological changes stemming from the newtechnology — hâve altered the psychology of young Ameri-cans. Many of the problems which I am called upon toconsider as an overseer of Harvard and as a trustée ofRockefeller University are, I am confident, radically différent from the problems faced by overseers and trustéesof fifty years ago.As to whether the change of attitudes that this reflectsis good or bad, even those whose business it is to deal withthe young often disagree. Many educators tell us that thecurrent collège génération is the best America has everproduced— physically, intellectually, and in terms of itsaspirations. At the same time, social scientists seem toconfirm what the press tells us every day: that frighteningnumbers of thèse young people experiment with drugs, that the anarchism of the New Left is their most significantpolitical expression, and that the rejection of establishedsociety — symbolized in its extrême form by hippiedom —is common among them. Finally, we are exposed toperiodic opinion surveys which suggest that in mattersranging from sexual behavior to career goals, a majorityof today's collège students are not very différent from theirparents.My own conclusion is that ail thèse things are partlytrue — and none of them represents the whole truth. Ob-viously, the présent collège génération, like every génération before it, covers a wide spectrum of attitudes andbehavior. But for ail the différences among our youngpeople, there are, I am persuaded, a number of attitudeswhich the majority of them share, at least to some extent..JLo begin with, nearly ail the young people I know —even the most stable of them— take a skeptical attitudetoward conventional behavior and social conformity. Ifthe présent collège génération has a single motto, it wouldappear to me to be "do your own thing" — that is, live inthe way that is most satisfying to you regardless of whetherit meets with social approval. I believe there is much thatis healthy in this. Conformity can lay a dead hand oncreativity. There is no doubt that the vast économie,political, and educational organizations of present-daysociety can ail too easily become vehicles of dehumanizedand impersonal conformity. I must confess to a latentsympathy for the Berkeley student who showed up for adémonstration carrying a sign that read: "I am a person;do not fold, spindle, or mutilate."But to be an individual — to do one's own thing — it isnot necessary to flout the accumulated wisdom of mankindor to deny the fact that there must be some restraints onthe individual if human beings are to live together. Quiteclearly, no society could endure if a majority of its mem-bers chose to "drop out." Yet many of our young peoplerefuse to recognize the need for any social restraints. Thisseems to stem largely from another attitude prévalentamong them — a deep suspicion of the established socialorder and of the people who lead it.3I suppose young people hâve always had a tendency tofeel that their elders hâve made a botch of the world. Butthis is the first génération I know of which has publiclyproclaimed its distrust of everyone over thirty. The coldfact is that many of today's young people regard you andme as hopelessly corrupt. We are, in their eyes, so crippledby the compromises we hâve made in order to find aplace in what they call "The Establishment," that we areno longer capable of recognizing the truth or acting uponit. If there is no truth in us, they ask, how can the societywe hâve helped to shape be anything but immoral andunhealthy?The answers that young people themselves supply tothis question are not reassuring. On the extrême left,there are some who believe that American society is soevil it must be torn down — that destruction must précèdereconstruction. Even among the more mode rate majorityof youngsters, there is a gênerai conviction that Americansociety stands convicted of not practicing the principleswhich it professes.JLn part, that indictment is true. Our society does fall farshort of its avowed standards in many areas — our mostnotable failure, perhaps, being our treatment of racialminorities. But it is naive to think that ail this could beput right tomorrow if we would simply décide to live upto our principles. To détermine just how one's principlesapply to a spécifie practical situation is frequently a com-plex matter, and this is something which young people areslow to accept.I myself hâve been sharply apprised of this as a resuitof the fact that Chase Manhattan, partly through its association with the Standard Bank Limited of London, nowplays what we believe is a constructive rôle in the SouthAfrican economy. On several occasions, I hâve discussedthis matter with student groups. The contention of thèsegroups has been that by dint of its économie involvementin South Africa, our bank is lending support to racism. Inrebuttal, I hâve sought to persuade our youthful criticsthat in Chase Manhattan's judgment, rapid économie prog-ress in South Africa promises to do more than anything else to modify— and, ultimately, to eliminate — that coun-try's présent apartheid policies.I must confess that I was taken aback by the mannerin which some of the students with whom I talked receivedthèse arguments. They did not actually contest the évidence I presented in support of my arguments; they simplydismissed my premises. And this, I think, reflects anothercharacteristic of the members of the présent collège génération. Many old truths are falsehoods — or, at best,questions — for them.The évidence of this can be found in the press almostany day. News accounts of draft dodgers in Canada anddeserters in Sweden make it plain that many youngAmericans no longer see any relevance in the traditionalconcept of patriotism. Only a few weeks ago, as you mayhâve read, nearly a quarter of the undergraduates at oneIvy League school indicated that they would rather go toprison than be drafted.That attitude, of course, is not confined to one campus—and it is common to ascribe it to a mixture of distaste forthe Vietnam war and sheer unwillingness to make anyPersonal sacrifice. But I myself do not think the explana-tion quite that simple. The eagerness with which thou-sands of youngsters hâve joined the Peace Corps suggeststhat the présent collège génération retains a considérablecapacity for self-sacrifice. What it seems to lack is anyconviction that the U.S. can or should play a major rôlein maintaining world peace. Passionately— and, in myopinion, naively — more and more of our young peopleoffer a counsel of perfection: we Americans, they insist,hâve no business meddling in the affairs of other nationswhile the ills of our own society remain unremedied.This is not a position which I find convincing. Even ifit were, though, I would remain disturbed by the fact thattoo many young Americans seem to see no possibility ofremedying the social ills of which they complain throughthe traditional démocratie process. There is, unhappily, anarrogance abroad in the land which leads some of ourmost able young people to feel that they alone are capableof determining what is good and what is evil. A growingnumber of collège activists openly conceive of themselvesas members of an élite whose task is to impose its views,willy-nilly, upon the ignorant majority.The inévitable conséquence of this attitude is the wave4of protest which now afflicts the country. Arguing thatthere is no effective recourse through the ballot box — aweapon which ail too frequently they do not even try toemploy — young people burn their draft cards, physicallyharass Cabinet officers and demonstrate against everythingfrom racial injustice to unpopular académie appointments.PJL rotest, in the sensé of peaceful expression of discontent, can, of course, be highly constructive. "Discontent,"Thomas Edison said, "is the first necessity of progress."With this, I am in hearty accord. But it is not enoughsimply to protest. It is not enough, as George Kennanrecently noted, "to offer as the only argument for changethe fact that a number of people are very angry and ex-cited." Protest, to be useful, must be based on close andreasoned analysis of a problem. More important yet, toquote Mr. Kennan again, protest places upon the pro-testers "the obligation of saying in what way [the] Systemshould be modified or what should be established in placeof it." But this, I fear, is not an obligation recognized bythose responsible for much of today's youthful protest.Of course, the attitudes which I describe exist in extrêmeform only in a minority of our young people. A recentlypublished study of student attitudes at Stanford Universityand the University of California at Berkeley showed thatno more than ten percent of the students on either campuswere ever involved in the activities of the New Left orsuch clamorous protests as the 1964 Free Speech Move-ment.But this is less reassuring than it seems. For if the otherninety percent of the students didn't participate in suchmovements, they did not actively oppose them either. Itis a historical truism, dramatically demonstrated by thefact that it took fewer than 250,000 Bolsheviks to imposecommunism on Russia, that events are far more oftenshaped by determined minorities than by apathetic ma-jorities.Thus, the hostility to the established order expressedby a vocal minority of today's collège students may hâvegrave implications for the future of this country. It almostcertainly has spécial implications for the future of Ameri can business. There is no shortage of surveys indicatingthat collège students are still interested in business careers.One such study recently produced by the Research Instruite of America indicated that thirty percent of theyoung men in collège feel that they will find more promis-ing opportunities in business than in any other career.It would be dangerous, however, to take too muchcomfort from such statistics. To begin with, even thoseyoung people who intend to go into business appear toquestion seriously the ethical stance of U.S. industry. Ina 1966 Louis Harris poil, only nine percent of the collègeseniors interviewed felt businessmen could be describedas "public spirited." Even in business schools, a disquietingthirty-two percent of the seniors doubted that businessmenhad the well-being of the country at heart.More important yet is the attitude of the catalytic minority of young people to which I referred a moment ago.Almost to a man, university heads testify that it is theirmost promising students who tend to be in the forefrontof the various protest movements. Not surprisingly, more-over, thèse same students tend to cast a cold eye onbusiness. If this continues to be the case, it will mean thatbusiness increasingly will be competing for second-raters— and, worse yet, as the Harris poil suggested, for second-raters who are not even respectful of the social functionbusiness performs.What can we as businessmen do to remedy this situation? Or to put it another way: What can we do to bridgethe génération gap?We hâve, I think, two responsibilities hère. One is thepurely practical task of assuring our companies a con-tinuing supply of able managers. The other is to servethe nation by insuring that one of its most vital institutions — the U.S. business community — does not fall intounimaginative hands in the years ahead.Clearly, thèse two challenges are inséparable; in meeting one we will inevitably help to meet the other. And,in the process, we may learn some useful things aboutourselves.Many experts in collège recruiting, for example, agrée thatin order to attract really exceptional students, business mustput less emphasis on conformity and offer more responsi-bility earlier. Nothing is more likely to drive a brightyoung man out of business than the discovery that he is5expected to wear only white shirts, to express only themost conventional political views, and to do his apprentice-ship in a training program less demanding than his class-room work at collège.To avoid thèse pitfalls will require some rethinking bybusiness itself. Above ail, it will oblige us to considerwhether we are doing enough to challenge our futureexecutives and whether we do not too often cling toarbitrary ways of doing things. In a speech hère at theBusiness School three years ago, my friend Fred Kappelremarked: "Let's face it: while many of our rules may beunavoidable, they do inhibit learning and growth." I sharethat view — and I share Fred's belief that every corporation should, from the moment of employment, plunge itsbright young men into truly responsible work.More important still, because we live in an affluentsociety in which "making a living" is no longer thechallenge it used to be, business must demonstrate to youngpeople that it offers other than purely material rewards.One of the participants in the Harvard Business Schoolinternship program came away from his exposure to in-dustry with the comment: "It is about time businessmenlearned that collège students are not ail that concernedabout the profit motive."To that, my instinctive response — and probably yourstoo — would be: "It is about time collège students learnedthat without the profit motive, this would be a sick societyindeed."13^Ë^#ut there is little point to shouting such assertions atdeaf ears. What we as businessmen must do is to demonstrate through action that the profit motive, properly employée!, constitutes a powerful tool with which to achievethe goals that the best of our young people profess to want.We must show beyond dispute that business can becomethe engine of progress in such areas as civil rights, poverty,urban decay, and pollution of the environment.You and I know that business has alrcady made signifi-cant contributions in some of thèse areas. In the field ofcivil rights alone, great strides hâve been made. Com-panies hâve thrown their resources into the battle to im- prove housing, éducation, and employment opportunitiesfor the Negro population. Individual businessmen are giv-ing leadership to community action programs like theNational Urban Coalition and its local counterparts acrossthe country.But, despite this, I believe it is clear to ail of us thatthe U.S. business community is not yet doing enough tomeet the great socio-economic problems of our time.Taken as a whole, American business has only recentlycorne to a conscious acceptance of its social responsibili-ties and we hâve a long way to go in translating thatconsciousness into effective action. Above ail, we cannotspend so much time justifying our présent practices thatwe hâve none left in which to work for further change.For change we must. Our fundamental response to thechallenge of our time— and to the disaffection of so muchof our youth — must be an endorsement of further improve-ment. Only thus can we demonstrate to those who willsoon inherit leadership of the United States that construc-tive work within existing institutions will do more torealize their ideals than purely destructive protest canever do.As businessmen, we possess collectively great power.But that power, in the end, will be to no avail unless wepersuade our young men and women that it can— and will— be used to achieve ends which they regard as worthwhile.I do not suggest that making such a démonstration willbe as easy as ABC — or LSD. We of the older générationcannot in good conscience betray our fundamental values;we must be as determined in our défense of modération assome young people are in their advocacy of extremism.But we cannot bury our heads in the sand — or in ourprofit statements. The génération gap as it exists today isdéplorable. Many of the attitudes expressed by the génération treading upon our heels are both uncongenial anddeeply disturbing. But they are realities, and angry de-nunciation will not cause them to vanish.There is, however, something that just might causethem to vanish — or at least to recède into comparativeunimportance. That would be for those of us who are overthirty to display in our professional lives precisely thosequalifies which our youthful critics say we lack — open-mindedness, intellectual honesty, and commitment to responsible social progress.

EbertIt is a very great honor to be named the récipient of the1968 Alumni Award. I shall spend no time in disclaimersbecause I think the symbolism of the award is more important than the name of the awardee. It represents thelasting tie between the University and its alumni, and thecontinuing influence of the University on the thinking ofthose it educates. On thèse grounds I am most appropriatesince I graduated from The University of Chicago HighSchool, from the Collège, and from the Médical School.In addition, I served as a member of the faculty. Certainlythere are few who hâve been influenced more by our AimaMater. I hâve always felt indebted to The University ofChicago and the award simply increases the size of my debt.I was asked if I would make a few remarks and I hâvechosen to speak about the University and the communitynot because I consider myself an expert but because Ibelieve we are entering a period of rather profound re-examination of the rôle of the University.This period of re-examination does not occur in vacuo,but is part of an uneasy realization that our technologicalskill, our science, and our expanding économie base hâvenot solved the social problems of our society and in facthâve aggravated some. In the jargon of a technologicalâge, we hâve the hardware for a utopian society but notthe soft-ware. We hâve yet to be programmed for a newcivilization.Ail of us sensé that we live in a period of stress withthe potential for great change, and our anxiety is not di-minished by the ill-defined forces of change. In the May26th issue of The New York Times Magazine there ap-peared a report of a panel discussion on the nature andfuture of democracy. Early in the discussion, NormanMailer made the following observation: "I would suggestthat Technologyland tends to create a psychic conditionwhich is the équivalent of plastic. And just as plasticobjects work well and show no sign of âge until themoment when they cease to work — and they give nowarning, they just split — so certain things in AmericanSociety are breaking, with no warning at ail."Robert H. Ebert, SB'36. MD'42, is Dean of the MédicalSchool of Harvard University. This article is the text of hisremarks on accepting the 1968 Alumni Medal at the Reunioncélébration, June 8.14 It is this brittle character of our society and the un-planned nature of récent events which are the symptomsof our disease. This nation can no longer afford the illusionthat the great ideological conflict is between communismand democracy, or socialism and free enterprise. Even inFrance, deGaulle's attempts to blâme the riots and unreston a communist plot was a belated gesture which no onereally believed. The communists were caught by surprise,just as was everyone else, and what had begun as a sit-inby a seemingly few dissident students came close to révolution. France has had considérable expérience with révolution but I doubt that there was ever quite such a spon-taneous uprising before. In fact its very spontaneity seemedto confuse everyone. It was a révulsion against almosteverything— without plan and without direction. To be sureit was used by the trade unions and political parties, butno one was really prepared because no one would hâvedared predict that a small group of students could sparksuch an upheaval.T-A_ he riots in our own cities hâve had some of the samequality of spontaneity. It would be a great mistake to consider them organized riots, and every careful observer hascorne to the same conclusion — riots hâve occurred wherethere is disorganization, or, perhaps it is better to say, noeffective organization. To be sure, the riots in the blackghetto hâve involved a single minority group and amplereasons can be found for disaffection with Americansociety. Still it is fair to ask, why now? Certainly the blackcitizen is no worse off than he was a décade ago, or fivedécades ago. In fact he is better off in some ways. I do notprétend to hâve an answer but only point to the exampleas further évidence of the uneasiness of our society.Columbia University represents another kind of exampleof the explosive nature of our society. Columbia studentsare not a suppressed minority — they are not the "hâvenots" of America; in fact most are assured success in theAmerican establishment. Again one cannot deny that therewere intrinsic problems at Columbia — with the community,between faculty and students and faculty and administration — but again one can ask, why now and why such aviolent upheaval?At a récent meeting held by the Harvard UniversityProgram on Technology and Society, Professor EdwardShils of this University made some illuminating commentsabout the contemporary scène. He stated that, contrary topopular belief, the individual is more important today, notless important; and partly as a resuit of technology theindividual believes he has more options, or at least thepotential for more choices. Professor Shils made the secondobservation that authority is becoming less certain of itsprérogatives and possibly more vulnérable, even thoughthe magnitude of power held may hâve increased. ThePrésident of the United States holds vast power, but noone today would deny his vulnerability. And no one wouldsuggest any longer that a collège président who is efficientand anticipâtes the wish of his board will necessarily hâvea quiet and peaceful tenure of office, or indeed remain inoffice.The juxtaposition of thèse two facts — increasing de-mands by the individual and decreasing security of those inauthority— adds to the uneasiness of society.We seem to be living in an âge when nothing seems impossible — largely as a resuit of science and technology —yet no one seems to know how to alter the system of making choices. There seems to be little time to make reason-able judgments about alternatives and no time to déterminethe approach to the solution of our social problems. Weplunge headlong from crisis to crisis, and we patch ratherthan remodel and rebuild. The most strident critics saythat the fault lies with the power structure, with the establishment — with the great corporations and most particu-larly with the mass média. Yet it is thèse very structureswhich hâve the potential to effect great change.Since universities hâve been the traditional home fordissent and hâve fostered the belief that students should betaught to question, it is not surprising that they shouldharbor some of those who question the value Systems ofWestern civilization during the last third of the 20thcentury. What is perhaps new is that the questioning isalso directed at the university itself.Students demand greater participation in the affairs ofthe university than ever before, and even though some ofthe demands seem trivial there is a more profound sig-nificance to the désire for "student power" than the urge to change living arrangements in dormitories or the privilège to request certain course offerings. There is a rejec-tion of paternalism and a demand for partnership whichhas its parallel in the black community.Students feel that they are more than transient guests ofthe university, and they raise questions which a few yearsago would hâve been thought totally inappropriate. Theyask if it is proper for universities to contract for work withthe défense industry. They want to know what the university is doing for its own local community and if it iscoming to grips with the problems of the larger community. They are asking, in fact, whether the universityhas a relevant rôle in society today.T* hese are tough questions, and in a sensé they changethe traditional ground rules. They reject the view that theuniversity must remain a community of scholars detachedfrom society because they can point to the inconsistency ofthis posture. Contracts with the Department of Défense,with the aerospace industry, and with pharmaceuticalhouses do not add up to detachment. If the university canbe involved at one level why should it be against involve-ment at another? And once the principle of involvement isaccepted, where does it stop?How does the university respond to this challenge? Itsfaculty cannot march into the central city and volunteer to"help." Nor can the university expend its treasury onremaking the ghetto, for in doing so the university mightcease to exist. Yet the university cannot tum its back onthe challenge and say that it has no business with the kindof involvement students are talking about. This is notsimply a matter of responding to a désire expressed bystudents. It is a problem of dealing with some of the socialills of our time, both conceptually and, on appropriate occasions, by démonstrations and model-building.Let me use the example of medicine to show what mightbe done by the university. I use it as an example in partbecause medicine is familiar ground and in part to showhow medicine can be used by other parts of the universityas an interface with the community.Médical schools hâve had long expérience with service15Right: Dr. Robert H. Ebertto the community. It has been a matter of self-interest formédical schools to operate or to affiliate with hospitalsand clinics. Medicine cannot teach without patients, andpatients need to be cared for and to be served.There is nothing new in the concept of service, but thereis something quite new in how médical schools and universities might approach the problem. Medicine offers inmicrocosm many of the advances of modem society andmany of its problems. There is no need to elaborate onthe wonders of modem science nor the technological ac-complishments of medicine. Thèse hâve been amply dis-played in the mass média, where the transplantation of aheart gets the same news coverage as an international crisisor a presidential élection. Hère is part of the problem.Anyone who owns a radio or télévision set, or reads anewspaper or magazine, cannot avoid hearing about themiracles of modem medicine and its potential for savingand prolonging life. Yet the citizen of the ghetto has noPersonal physician and receives his care in a hospitalemergency room or an out-patient clinic, which often bearsmore relationship to a 19th century dispensary than thefantasy world described in the mass média. It is this verydiscrepancy which aggravâtes the problem — the vast différence between what is possible and what is cold reality.The facts are that our traditional System of providingmédical care no longer works in an âge of modem technology, and little has been done to solve the problem.Clearly we hâve the capacity to change the system, to provide high-quality care, to utilize technology for the benefitof ail, and to retain the humanity of medicine. But it willnot be easy, and it will require ail our skills and ingenuity.The problem of the organization and delivery of médicalcare is far too complicated to be solved by physicians orhospital administrators alone. It will require the skills ofeconomists, sociologists, and epidemiologists as well aspeople knowledgeable about govemment Systems, engineering, and the law. It can in fact involve many of thetalents found in the university.If there are to be changes in the manner in which weprovide médical care, particularly in the central city, it isnecessary to create operating models. This means the directprovision of service to a community or a part of a com-16 munity by the médical school and could mean the directinvolvement of other parts of the university.While health is important it is by no means the mostimportant problem of the city, but concern for healthneeds provides direct access to the community. Healthfacilities can be used as a base for studying many otherproblems of urban populations, and, what is more important, some solutions can be tested in an objectivemanner. The imaginative combination of health and edu-cational facilities in the central city has never been triedexcept in the most tentative manner, and éducation isanother point of entry for the university if it cares to beinvolved.Too little has been done by médical schools and schoolsof éducation to create the community laboratories in whichtheir own students can work, and this needs to be done.But such laboratories also can be used by the universityat large as a means of involving interested undergraduatesin meaningful involvement and study of the urban community.TJL. do not propose that community medicine is the panaceafor ail the world's ills, but I do suggest that medicine canbe used effectively as an interface between the universityand society and that it might be one way in which theuniversity could demonstrate the relevance of what it doesto society. Science and technology are neutral forces —neither good nor evil in themselves. It seems to me thathow thèse forces are used for or against mankind is verymuch the business of the university, and medicine is oneavenue of approach to the more effective use of thèseinstruments. Too often one hears the voice of dissent saythat our existing institutions must be destroyed in order torecreate a new society. I am reminded that there is onesure way to stop the growth of cancer, and that is to killthe patient-not a very productive form of therapy. Let usnot abandon modem science and technology because wehâve not learned to cope with it; let us not destroy civiliza-tion in order to save it.

Alumnicontributions accounted for over $29.5million of the total.Providing a significant boost was therécent $12,000,000 Pritzker gift to theMédical School. The gift is one of thelargest single contributions in the Uni-versity's 76-year history. Gaylord Donnelley, Trustée and National Chairmanof the Campaign, said: "It is friends likethe Pritzkers who help make the University what it is — one of the world'sfinest. This gift gives us the impetus tomake the final year of the Campaigneven more successful than the first."Other récent contributions are:—$500,000 from the Richard KingMellon Charitable Trust for the PritzkerSchool of Medicine.—$321,000 from the Danforth Foundation to extend and modify the team-teaching and tutor program in the Collège.— $120,000 from the Ford Foundation to help train graduate students inarcheological expéditions to Turkey,Spain, Greece, Ethiopia, Iraq, Iran, andother countries.— $102,700 from the National ScienceFoundation to the Department of Sta-tistics for research related to the socialand behavioral sciences.— $100,000 in unrestricted funds fromLing-Temco-Vought, Inc., of Dallas,Texas, half of which was a personal contribution from the firm's chairman, JamesJ.

Lindsay, the Thomas D.Jones Professor of Surgery (Otolaryn-gology) and Director of the MidwesternTemporal Bone Banks Center, recentlysaid that although physicians hâve beenstudying the inner ear for more thanseventy years there has always been onegreat drawback.Each of the two inner ears is locatedin the hard temporal bone on oppositesides of the base of the skull. The onlyway to view and study the inner ear di-rectly, therefore, is after death, said Dr.Lindsay. "However, until recently fewinner ears of people who had sufferedfrom deafness or dizziness were avail-able. Part of the difficulty was that deafness is not fatal, and those who died werenot listed as having anything unusualabout this important function."About ten years ago, a group of American médical schools decided to make aconcerted appeal to physicians to keeprecords on patients suffering from innerear problems and to obtain the temporalbones after death.However, the real breakthrough camein 1958 with the establishment of TheDeafness Research Foundation by Mrs.Hobart Ramsey of New York, whosehearing had been restored as a resuit ofknowledge of inner and middle ear disorders.The Foundation began a national campaign to locate and inform deaf personsof the importance of their inner ears forresearch and hâve them pledge them forthis purpose after death. The first Temporal Bone Banks Center was begun atChicago under Dr. Lindsay. The Centerobtains the pledges and médical records,and arranges for acquisition and distribution of the spécimens to laboratories forresearch.The number of laboratories in theUnited States devoted to the inner earproblem has increased from four in 1932to about forty.Dr. Lindsay and his associâtes, with support from the U.S. Public HealthService, are tackling a wide scope ofinner ear problems ranging from diseaseto the problems of balance in outer spaceunder zéro gravi ty.A primary goal of the program is toidentify conditions which may be pre-vented or which are susceptible to médical or surgical treatment. Research haSmade it possible to cure many cases ofotosclerosis, which leads to deafness inas many as Ave of every 100 Caucasians.Examination of the inner ear also isgiving the first real understanding of howdifférent viruses such as measles andmumps produce deafness or severe vertigo.Other areas to be explored include thecauses and prévention of deafness ininfancy; the progressive deafness that iscommon in advancing years; dizzy spells;and the effects of vascular disorders,drugs, and noisy environment.Computer Speeds Analysisof Amorite GrammarA Chicago professor is using the latestmethods in electronic data évaluation tocompile a grammar of Amorite, the second oldest Semitic language, not spokenfor 3,500 years.Ignace J. Gelb, the Frank P. HixonDistinguished Service Professor of As-syriology, is using an IBM 7090 computer to put together what may be thefirst complète grammar of any language.Amorite was spoken by a partly no-madic, partly settled people that lived inSyria and Iraq between 2000 and 1500B.C. The Amorites wrote with a styluson damp clay. Gelb has described theirwriting as word-syllabic, a cross betweenpicture writing and writing with an alphabet.Gelb's project is being done in coopération with Stanislav Segert of theAcademy of Sciences in Prague, Czecho-slovakia. Segert is compiling a dictionarythat will include ail west Semitic lan-guages. Gelb and Segert began their collaboration in December, 1965, when18Segert came to the United States atGelb's suggestion and at the invitation ofthe University.The two scholars spent the next sixmonths collecting and preparing for computer use ail known materials in Amoriteand South Arabie languages, which areclosely related. Since Segert's return toPrague, the two hâve corresponded andexchanged research in the form of mag-netic computer tapes.They hâve made about 14,800 SouthArabie entries and 5,000 Amorite en-tries, arranged alphabetically accordingto word root. Each of the entries is pre-ceded by a fourteen-character, alpha-numeric sort key.Gelb describes the use of computersas "the most efficient System of information retrieval for detailed analysis of thematerial."Gelb and Segert hope to complète soona thorough phonemic and morphemicanalysis of the Amorite and the SouthArabie entries. They will follow this witha comparative analysis of the two languages.Gelb plans to publish the results in twovolumes entitled The Computer Analysisof A morite. The first volume will containthe computer analysis, and the secondwill consist of a linguistic and philologicalinterprétation of the data.Alumnus Wills Two Chairs toPritzker School of MedicineTwo endowed professorships hâve beenestablished in the Division of the Bio-logical Sciences and The Pritzker Schoolof Medicine and two faculty membershâve been named to hold them, Président George W. Beadle announced recently. Increasing the number of endowedprofessorships is one of the prime goalsof the Campaign for Chicago.The Blum-Riese Professorships will beheld by Dr. Hans H. Hecht, Professor ofMedicine and of Physiology and Chairman of the Department of Medicine, andDr. George L. Wied, Professor of Ob-stetrics and Gynecology. The chairs were established in October,1967, under the will of the late WilliamJ. Blum, '27, who died January 1, 1967,in New York City. The endowment fundhonors his parents, Amalia and EugèneBlum, and his uncle, Max J. Riese. Mr.Blum's will provided for two professorships, one in the Department of Obstet-rics and Gynecology and the other in theDepartment of Medicine.Teaching the English TeacherIn the near future, preparing for graduate study in English will be similar topreparing for médical school, a facultymember predicts.Methods of teaching English, especiallyat the collège level, are going to changedramatically within the next few years,according to Gwin J. Kolb, Professorand Chairman of the Department ofEnglish Language and Literature.For example, students who major inEnglish and plan advanced study ingraduate school will follow a course ofstudy clearly designed for the Englishmajor."In a way, it will resemble the courseof study premedical students take now,except that the courses will be in the areaof English studies," Kolb said.Computers will be used more widelyfor library research. Rhetoric, the art ofwriting and speaking effectively and asubject only now emerging from a mori-bund period, will enjoy a major revival inpopularity.Kolb, who made thèse and other prédictions, recently was named chairmanof the Association of Departments ofEnglish (ADE), a group of more than800 collège and junior collège Englishdepartment chairmen. It held its 1968summer seminar in Chicago from June24 through June 28."Students who want to major in English will make their décision to do somuch earlier in their collège career thanis now the case," Kolb said.Another of the changes foreseen byKolb is the abandonment of traditional courses, such as the teaching of OldEnglish, now required at many collèges,and substitution of courses more closelyattuned to mid-20th century life.Kolb said that there will probably bemore flexibility in English departmentalrequirements across the nation."There will be greater emphasis uponthe training of teacher-scholars," he said."A great need exists for more PhD English teachers at the junior collège level,for example, and this need must be filledquickly."Kolb believes English will tend to be-come a principal basis for ail of thedisciplines now gathered under the head-ing of the humanities. "English is basicto our understanding of the humanities.As more and more of the humanities be-come specialties, English will becomeeven more important as the base uponwhich to build for the study of man,"Kolb said.To help achieve their goals, Kolb pre-dicted, collège English departments willtend to cooperate more and more witheach other, resulting in more participation in interdisciplinary programs.Two other trends foreseen by Kolbare:( 1 ) Unionization of collège Englishteachers, especially teaching assistants.Teaching assistants are generally graduatestudents who assist professors in classrecitation sections and in the reading andgrading of term papers and examinations.(2) The establishment of a "centralpool" to which ail students across thecountry who wish to enroll in graduatedepartments of English would submittheir applications. By the use of a dataprocessing System, the "pool" would thenmatch the student with the best graduatedepartment for him.Kolb emphasized that he personallydoes not want ail of thèse changes, butthat he sees them coming. "I don't liketo see computers used too much," hesaid. "But we must face the fact thatInformation retrieval' rather than diggingthrough books is becoming more andmore commonplace."19Are People ReallyImportant in Business?Personnel problems are bungled bymany companies, said L. Richard Hoff-man, Professor of Psychology in theGraduate School of Business, in a récentspeech to about 300 businessmen. Hoff-man's talk, "Are People Really Important in Business?" was the concludingspeech of the 1967-68 Executive ProgramClub Luncheon Séries.Hoffman cited four examples of business firms' failure to handle "peopleproblems":— Many companies indicate by theiractions that they regard money and machines as being more important thanpeople, despite professed adhérence tothe goal of worker satisfaction.— Corporate attitudes often encouragedéfensive behavior and discourage un-usual ideas, thereby stifling creativity.— Poor and distorted communicationswithin many companies nullify programsintended to motivate employées and encourage more créative and productive behavior.— Many companies hâve a tendency tosupress human feelings as "unbusiness-like" in job situations, resulting in communication barriers and reduced workeffort.Fewer Guns Means FewerHomicides, Study ShowsEffective gun control measures wouldreduce the number of homicides, according to Franklin E. Zimring, AssistantProfessor of Law in the Law School anda Research Associate in the University'sCenter for Studies in Criminal Justice.He bases that conclusion upon a studyof more than 1,400 homicides and 22,000assaults during 1965, 1966, and 1967 inChicago. The data for the study camefrom the Chicago Police Departmentthrough the coopération of CommanderFrancis J. Flanagan of the Homicide andSex Division.According to Zimring, opponents of gun control are wrong when they arguethat such control would not reduce thehomicide rate because a potential mur-derer can always find a weapon. Zimring'sfindings show:— A substantial proportion of killingsresuit from attacks that were not madewith the single-minded intent to kill.— The gun and the knife are interchangeable weapons for persons whomake such attacks.— Whenever knives are used, the fa-tality rate from serious attacks is lessthan one-fifth as great as that from gunattacks.Thus, if firearms were eliminated,knives would be the next most dangerousprobable substitute — but knives are notas lethal as guns in thèse attack situations.Indications that a substantial percent-age of homicides resuit from other thansingle-minded intent to kill corne from avariety of sources:— Seventy-eight percent of ail killings,as classified by the police, resuit fromquarrels based on domestic problems, li-quor, sex, etc.— More than seventy percent of ailhomicides take place between individualswho had been involved in some priorPersonal relationship with each other.— The sex and race characteristics ofhomicide victims, although differingsharply from the population as a whole,are almost exactly the same as those ofthe victims of serious but nonfatal assaults, Zimring said. This holds true bothfor gun and knife assaults.— Seventy percent of ail gun homicidesresulted from a single wound, althougha "single-minded intention to kill" shouldprompt the attacker to insure his resuitby multiple wounding.Furthermore, there is évidence that, atleast for those attackers who hâve nosingle-minded intention to kill, the knifeand the gun are largely interchangeableweapons, Zimring reported.— Homicide figures show the two weapons are used in the same types of altercations leading to homicide.— Assault figures show that just as many knife wounds are located in thevital areas of the body (head, neck, chest,back, abdomen) as are gun wounds.— Assault data also show that knifeattacks resuit, if anything, in more multiple woundings than gun attacks.New Stagg Field Préserves SoilTread by "The Grand Old Man"Amos Alonzo ("Lonnie") Stagg, Jr.,eldest son of "The Grand Old Man,"will be the featured speaker at the dedi-cation of the new Stagg Field, September2 1 , when a unique ceremony will préservethe University's most hallowed athletictradition.The earth once tread by such footballgreats as Pat Page, Babe Meigs, WallyEckersall, and the Old Man himself wascarefully removed and stored away whenconstruction equipment moved into theold Stagg Field early this year to beginbuilding the $20.5 million Regenstein Li-brary.

Nofirst-place désignation was made.The AAC selected nine photographsfrom the pages of The University of Chicago Magazine for exhibition in its "BestPhotos of 1968" show.The University of Chicago Magazinereceived Distinctive Merit Awards fromthe AAC for articles on or by alumni andfor articles contributing to the continu- ing éducation of its readers. The Magazine also received Honorable Mentionsfor articles on students and profiles offaculty members.Radioactive Chromium "Gun"Helps Fight CancerAn implantation "gun" which "shoots"radioactive chromium into cancer tumors,destroying them without harming normalbody tissue, is being used by physiciansat The University of Chicago.The project is one of several beingcarried out by Dr. Melvin L. Griem, As-sociate Professor of Radiology, Dr. PaulV. Harper, Jr., Professor of Surgery, andtheir associâtes.The procédure is conducted in theArgonne Cancer Research Hospital, whichis operated by the University for the U.S.Atomic Energy Commission.Results thus far hâve been "quiteencouraging," according to Dr. Griem.Of twenty-five patients receiving thetreatment, eighteen hâve shown "good"or "favorable" responses. One patientwho received the treatment over sevenyears ago today is leading a normal life.At the time of treatment, the patient hada life expectancy of six months.The chromium seeds used are pre-pared from spécial high-purity wire madeby the U.S. Bureau of Mines. Bureauscientists had first prepared the high-purity chromium to investigate its metal-lurgical properties. Cancer investigatorslearned about the material and requestedsupplies for research.Since the métal must be exposed to radiation in a nuclear reactor to convert it toa radioactive isotope called chromium-51,high purity is essential. Any impuritieswould also become radioactive and sub-ject a patient to undesirable radiation."The type of radiation given off bychromium-51 is highly désirable for cancer implants because the radiation is notso penetrating that it would cause damageto normal tissues of the body," said Dr.Griem."In addition," he continued, "Chromi um-51 has a half-life of twenty-sevendays. This is long enough to insure thatthe tumor receives an effective dose ofradiation, but not so long that the implants would hâve to be removed to pre-vent an overdose."Furthermore, the chromium implantsare almost completely inert in the body.There is no évidence that they are likelyto cause any unfavorable reactions."To produce the implantation seeds,hair-fine chromium wire is first eut into3/io-inch lengths. Thèse seeds are then ir-radiated in a research reactor at theArgonne National Laboratory for two orthree days. The relatively long half-lifeof the radioactive chromium isotope al-lows the seeds to be kept in a sterilizedlead container until needed.Implantations, according to Dr. Griem,can frequently be made without surgery.However, in some cases, deep-seatedtumors hâve been exposed sufficiently forimplantation at the time of surgery. Fromthree to sixty seeds hâve been implantedin tumors of individual patients and goodresults hâve been obtained with tumorslocated in a number of différent parts ofthe body.John Nuveen, PhB'19, Life Trustée ofthe University and Vice Chairman of theBoard and a Director of Nuveen Corp.and John Nuveen & Co., Inc., died August8, 1968, at the âge of 72.
