Recently we polled someof the nation's experts on thesubject, the eighty-five alumniwho are presidents or chancellors of collegesor universities. These are among trends theyforecast:• Many liberal arts colleges will be indifficult financial straits; some may not survive.• After an eclipse, the liberal arts mayundergo a resurgence of interest, in reactionto an increasingly technological society.• There may be a shortage of Ph.D. scientists.• There will be greater accountability onthe part of colleges and universities to societyand to the individual student.• There will be a shift in higher education to accommodate the middle-aged population.• There will be continuing high expectations on the part of the public, especiallyamong minorities, of the utility of highereducation.We also asked these educational leaders to talk about the major problems which theirinstitutions face today; their joys and frustrations as college presidents; and what kinds ofadvice they have for those who join theirranks.When they talked about their problems,almost to a person they listed the same wordat the top of the list: inflation.Reed Buffington, AB'42, AM'47, president of Chabot College, Hayward, California, a public institution with 18,500 students,summed it up for most his colleagues whenhe said:"Inflation; the decline in student preparation; the inability to employ new faculty[due to lack of funds]; increasing governmentregulations; aging facilities; softening ofpublic support of higher education — andmore'."Despite the fact that he is president ofone of the nation's wealthiest universities,Robert H. Strotz, AB'42, PhD'51, president ofNorthwestern University, Evanston, Illinois,a private university with 11,800 students,says that the financial crunch caused by inflation causes his biggest headaches.Ivy photos by Mike Weinstein 3"Clearly the major problems facinga university or college today are financial. When I first became president inthe 1970s tnere were other kinds ofproblems and the financial ones did notloom that large. But through the 1970sand currently, inflation has been interfering greatly, both with our ability tosustain the university at its currentpace, and in the new things we wouldlike to do."It's a curious thing about universities and their budgets. One reallyhas to distinguish between the annualoperating budget and what I might callthe capital budget. We have been verysuccessful in raising funds for newfacilities, and the place keeps growing,and modernizing, as a result of theseefforts. But even while people see newbuildings for teaching and researchgoing up, the problem of heating themcontinues to be a big problem. That's amatter of the operating budget. Peopledo not make major gifts to help you runthe place, but rather, they give you giftsto help you build something new."Whether they serve ashead of a small or largeinstitution, public or private, all of these chiefadministrators are keeping an anxiouseye on Washington and the Reaganadministration's proposed cuts infunding for scholarship aid and loans.Asked to comment on the administration's proposals on these matters, Marvin L. Goldberger, PhD'48, aphysicist who is president of the small,private (1,600) students, prestigiousCalifornia Institute of Technology,Pasadena, California, said drily:"I might not be able to keep mycool."Goldberger went on to say:"One of the issues which faces uswhich is common to all other institutions is the threatened change insupport for student scholarships andloans. The changing of that structure is going to put a heavy financial burdenon us. But more broadly, I think, unlesswe find a way to deal with this it isgoing to skew the composition of ourstudent body so that it will consist ofonly the very poor and the very rich. Iregard that as an extremely serious condition."In addition, the high cost of education in private institutions and theabsence of appropriate aid is going toremove a significant element of choicefrom undergraduates, who will naturally be driven towards those institutions that have lower tuition,namely the state-supported schools.Those two factors, where students willbe admitted so much more strongly onthe basis of their financial situation,and the tendency towards the removalof freedom of choice, are two aspects ofthe current financial trend."James R. Scales, X'42*, president ofWake Forest University, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, a private university with 4,600 students, agreed withGoldberger about the problems whichprivate institutions may be facing."The taxpayers will see to it thattheir children receive a practically freeeducation through the doctorate. Inflation, therefore, strikes the private sectorwith greater severity than the public."Dr. Maurice Clifford, Jr., AM'52,president of the Medical College ofPennsylvania, Philadelphia, a privatecollege with 500 students, expressedspecific concerns as a medical educator:"The proposed relegation of medical education and research to a lowernational priority is to us a serious matter. We are concerned, for example,about intended actions which woulddiminish financial aid for medical students, lest wealth become a requisitefor entrance into medical school. Cutbacks in financial support of medicalstudents will have their most harmful*X indicates that the person matriculated but didnot receive a degree. effects on students of little means,minorities, and others, and ultimately,therefore, on the health of the disadvantaged, making a bad situationeven worse."Several college presidents expressed concerns over proposed federalcuts in funding for basic scientific research, and training of scientists."There will be a shortage of educated scientists, at the PhD level, if present trends continue," predicted RobertA. Plane, PhD'51, president of ClarksonCollege of Technology in Potsdam,N.Y., a private college with 3,700 students.Goldberger, of California Instituteof Technology, said:"There are certain important areasof science and engineering in which Ibelieve we are not training enoughyoung people. For example, in the U.S.currently we are granting fewer doctorates in computer science than we wereten years ago. The reason for this is thatthe salaries available to undergraduatesare so large in the computer industrythat students have little motivation tocontinue on to get advanced degrees.That has consequences for the long run,of course. Who will teach computer science in the future? It's like eating yourown liver."If we don't have faculty availableto continue training the very bestpeople the supply is going to dry up.This can create a very dangerous situation. I've merely given a single exampleof an area in which there is a growingshortage of competent people."Richard Atkinson, PhB'48, is relatively new in his job as chancellor of theUniversity of California at San Diego,La Jolla, California, a public institutionwith an enrollment of 10,800. Atkinsontook over as head of U.C.-San Diego inJuly, 1980, after five years as director ofthe National Science Foundation.Atkinson, an internationally renowned experimental psychologist,was sharply critical of the government's4 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE/W inter 1982proposed cuts in research and development funding."For three decades the U.S. hasbeen the world leader in almost allfields of science, and the world has benefitted accordingly," he said. "Yet atthis critical time, our nation's investment in science — both in the federaland private sectors — is on a downhillcourse."To understand my concerns," Atkinson continued, "consider thesetrends in the support of research anddevelopment (R&D) in the last twelveyears— 1968-80:"R&D as a fraction of the federalbudget has decreased thirty-six percent."Basic research as a fraction of thefederal budget has decreased twenty-seven percent."R&D as a fraction of Gross National Product (GNP) has decreasednineteen percent."Now consider some trends inother countries for the same period:"R&D went up fourteen percent inthe Soviet Union, sixteen percent inWest Germany, and nineteen percent inJapan."A new concept of social changehas developed in the Soviet Unionwhich the Russians refer to as thescientific-revolution revolution. Thebasic premise of this revolution is thatthe advancement of knowledge is theprincipal source of societal change."It is easy to invest in applied research when there are immediatepayoffs, but the breakthroughs in thefuture will depend increasingly onbasic research. Yet, in a depressed economy basic research usually is one ofthe first budget items to be cut by bothindustry and government."As a nation, we face some hardeconomic decisions. Many of the economic policy choices we make todaywill shape our society for years to come.It is clear that the long-term well-beingof this nation continues to be tied, The threatened changein support for scholarships and loans . . .is going to skew thecomposition of ourstudent body so thatit will consist of onlythe very poor andthe very rich.through science and technology, to theinnovativeness and productivity thathave traditionally characterized theU.S. economy. It is just as clear that wemust ensure that progress through asolid, stable base of research."In recent years, government hasstricken down mandatory retirementrules; many faculty members nowchoose to work beyond the age ofsixty-five. This, in turn, has causedbudgetary and [faculty] recruitmentproblems for colleges, and created severe difficulties for young people whohope to enter teaching or researchcareers.Concerning these problems, AlbertSomit, AB'41, PhD'47, president ofSouthern Illinois University at Carbon-dale, Illinois, a state university with24,000 students, said:"Most colleges are trying to dealwith these problems by putting facultyon the so-called non-tenure track lines.If a college is strapped for funds and thefaculty is not retiring, it wants to prevent younger people from coming upfor consideration, so it rotates themthrough. As a result, a lot of youngerpeople are forced to move from oneschool to another. They spend a coupleof years at a college, then are forced out.From the viewpoint of the young faculty, it really is a very serious problem."The college also has the problemof recruiting senior faculty. At mostplaces, to meet the budgetary problems of the last several years, only junior faculty were brought on. Senior faculty dogo, you know. The lord calls sorne;other schools call some. Then the question arises: Where are you going to getresources to hire more senior faculty,because to hire them usually you needdouble — now treble — the amount ofmoney needed for an instructor."So colleges really get hit at bothends of the spectrum. It is difficult tobring on young people, on any permanent basis, and extremely difficult to recruit people who want a substantial salary."Demographically the United Statesis changing, and the 18-24 age cohortwill decline by more than twenty-threepercent between now and 1997. Thisfactor, together with reduced federalfunding, inflation, and a generallyapathetic or even hostile social climate,may mean difficult times ahead for theliberal arts in education, said some ofthese educators.George A. Drake, DB'62,AM'63, PhD'64, president ofGrinnell College, Grinnell,Iowa, a private college with1,230 students, said:"The next decade will be a verydifficult time for the liberal arts, in theface of increasing vocationalism.Financing higher education will be increasingly difficult. The small college isgoing to have a particularly difficulttime."Said Rolf A. Weil, AB'42, AM'45,PhD'50, president of Roosevelt University, a private university with 7,000students in Chicago, Illinois:"The liberal arts will hit rock bottom and then have a slow comeback.Lifelong learning will become universally accepted. Educational independence from government control will bethreatened, and private education, aswe have known it, will be in danger ofextinction."Some educators predicted thatweaker institutions will fail.Frank L. EUsworth, PhD'76, president of small (700 students), privatePitzer College in Claremont, California,predicted:"There will be a sharpening of goalsamong institutions in the next decade. Ithink we'll see reforms of undergraduate education, with more attention paid to how the curriculum relatesto the needs and problems of society. Ialso think we will see a decline in thenumber of institutions of higher education."Sister Candida Lund, PhD'63, whobecame chancellor of Rosary College,River Forest, Illinois, a private collegewith 1,600 students, in July, after seventeen years as its president, tended to The liberal arts wilthit rock bottom andthen have a slowcomeback. Lifelonglearning willbecome universallyaccepted.Northern Michigan University, Marquette, Michigan, a state universitywith 9,400 students:"We need curricular and programmodifications to respond to thedynamics of society and our growingtechnology. There will be greater accountability of higher education to society and the individual student, and more emphasis on "practical" education."In addition," he said, "there willalso be continuing high expectations onthe part of the public, especially amongminorities, of the utility of 'going tocollege.' "Those expectations can and shouldbe met, said Reatha Clark King, SM'60,PhD'63, president of Metropolitan StateUniversity, St. Paul-Minneapolis, Minnesota, a public university with 2,200students."I foresee further democratizationof higher education," she said. "Thistrend will trouble some who fear thatthere will be a resulting decline in thequality of services. I have no suchfears."agree with Ellsworth." 'Who speaks of victory? Survivalis the issue," she said, quoting the poetRainer Maria Rilke."We suffer from the strain put onthe college's financial resources by inflation," she commented, "but there areother factors, too. One is the financialstrain caused by student needs not present two or three generations ago. Whohad heard of specialized admissionsstaffs and financial aid offices then?One can no longer hope to reduce costs,but only to keep them from escalatingbeyond control."David Wolf Silverman, AB'48,AM'48, president of SpertusCollege of Judaica, Chicago,Illinois, a small (621students),private college, was more optimistic."There will be a decided shift inhigher education to accommodate themiddle-aged population," he said."The liberal arts are due for a rebirth, asthe avalanche of new technology at firstbewilders, and then turns adults backto a consideration of fundamental religious and philosophical questions."Other educators touched on the society's proliferating technology. SaidJohn X. Jamrich, SM'43, president of we will all be attempting to retain excellence within the fiscal constraints ofthe coming decade."K. George Pedersen, PhD'69, president and vice-chancellor, SimonFraser University, Burnaby, BritishColumbia, Canada, a public institutionwith enrollment of 10,000, predicted:"There will be increasing demandsfor lifelong education; we'll see peoplewho are making two and three careerchanges becoming common."Manning M. Pattillo, Jr., AM'47,PhD'49, president of Oglethorpe University, Atlanta, Georgia, a private university with 1,100 students, talked ofother problems he faces:"One of the chief problems facing acollege president today is that of interpreting liberal education to a technocratic society that is confused aboutvalues. Furthermore, it is difficult todevelop a sense of community amongstudents and faculty members at a timeof excessive individualism."William P. Gerberding, AM'57,PhD'49, who last year left the chancellorship of the University of Illinois,(Champaign-Urbana), to become president of the University of Washington,Seattle, Washington, a public institution with 36,000 students, foresees Donald R. Gerth, AB'47, AM'51,PhD'63, president of California State atDominguez Hills, Carson, California, apublic institution with 8,000 students,was more optimistic about the future ofhigher education than many of his colleagues."Higher education in America atthis point is going through a watershedperiod." he said. "Many of the fundamental public values about educationare being questioned, and I believe thatat this time we are forging a new set ofrelationships between higher educationand society."As I see it, a good deal of thechange which is taking place in highereducation is doing so in our arena, inthe public teaching institutions."We are reaching out to people aswe never have before in the history ofour nation. We are concerned withproblems of access [to education], andcommunity development. By the latter Idon't mean social work, or just a lectureseries. For example, we are getting intothe whole question of technological development and its proper place in ourscale of values as a society."We didn't get into these thingsbefore because we didn't have to. Tenor twenty years ago there were enough6 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAG AZINE/W-. iter 1982college age people to go around foreverybody, and the public teachinguniversities were concerned withquantitative questions."Now we are getting into qualitative questions. There has been something of a deterioration in secondaryeducation nationally. As we have improved the quality of undergraduateeducation, it is beginning to have somekind of ripple effect backwards to thesecondary and elementary schools.What will come out of that, if we don'tblow it, is better educated citizens thancame into our institutions twenty yearsago."Some people may have troubleunderstanding that, because twentyyears ago we were not afflicted by deterioration such as, for example, wenow see in writing. But we were notdealing with as broad a base of the; population as we are now. We have tobring them along in terms of writingand other skills, and help them tounderstand what it means to be an educated person."I think there is ample evidence inthe California state universities andcolleges, where we have more than300,000 students scattered over nineteen campuses, that we are upgradingthe quality of general education, andthat means a more educated citizenryten or twenty years down the road."When asked how the education hereceived at the University of Chicagohad influenced his current work, Clifford Clark, AM'41, PhD'53, president ofthe State University of New York(SUNY) at Binghamton, New York, apublic institution with 11,300 students,replied:"One aspect of my experience atChicago which affected me was the recognition of standards of quality inscholarship there. Students at the university had an opportunity to observequality in scholarship and teaching."If I reflect on my years there, as astudent in the Department of Econom ics, there must have been at least threepeople there who have since receivedthe Nobel Prize. I refer to that only inthe sense that the faculty with whomwe studied there were scholars of greatsubstance."I think that participation in an institution that recognized quality, andwas committed to it, is a continuingguiding light to me that is very important."Also, at Chicago, there seemed tobe an understanding that the universitycould not be all things to all people.Choices were made, and I came awaywith an appreciation for simplicity inthe division of knowledge, rather thancomplexity. For example, I have oftenused as the criterion for a good department one that organized itself around afew basic facets of its discipline, ratherthan offering many electives or options.Such a department, I had observed,could be clear in its own conception ofitself and its purpose. I think what thatsays is that the division of knowledge isnot all that complex, and if we insist onit being complex, we do so at the expense of quality."What kinds of advice dothese college presidentshave for newcomers totheir ranks?"Remember that all wisdom is notcentered in the president's office, anddon't take yourself too seriously,"cautioned Somit, of Southern IllinoisUniversity."Read At the Pleasure of the Board,from the American Council on Education," suggested The Very ReverendOtis C. Edwards, Jr., AM'63, PhD'71,president and dean of Seabury-WesternTheological Seminary, Evanston, Illinois, one of the ten accredited Episcopalian seminaries, with a studentbody of sixty.Claudio Gutierrez, PhD'66, rector,Universidad De Costa Rica, San Jose,Costa Rica, a public institution with en rollment of 30,000, added:"Think twice before contradictingthe faculty and keep the board of trustees busy with minute problems, whileyou tackle the real ones."Said Sister Candida Lund, of Rosary College:"Don't hesitate to establish yourown style of operation. On the otherhand, don't feel that all that has beendone before is necessarily wrong. Don'tworry about all your problems at thesame time. Like Scarlett O'Hara, leavesome for tomorrow."Finally, in talking about his frustrations and joys as a college president,Thomas L. Riley, PhD'65, director ofHopkinsville Community College,Hopkinsville, Kentucky, a public college with 1,000 students, said:"Red tape and federal/state regulations are the biggest ulcer-makers,but seeing our graduates assumingleadership roles in the communitywould have to be my biggest joy."Echoing the feelings of many of hiscolleagues, Thomas F. Scully, MBA'61,president of Indiana Institute ofTechnology, Fort Wayne, Indiana, asmall (700 students) private college,said:"I consider it extraordinarily important to prepare individuals to assume broader, more responsible rolesin our world, and I see formal education as the fundamental starting point.College presidents provide the environment, the atmosphere, in which thisgrowth and exchange can take place. Itis one of the most satisfying challengesthat I have taken up in my entire life."And how many people can say, oftheir chosen jobs, what Donald Gerth,president of California State Universityat Dominguez Hills said about his:"I very much enjoy the work I do.The campus is a very beautiful andlively one; its liveliness is best found inits people, and I can think of no place Iwould rather be, or other work I wouldrather be pursuing, than to be here." 8. 1 ill y JrJ$CliftonWhartonAre we preparingyoung people for thetwenty-first century?Clifton R. Wharton, Jr., AM'56,PhD'58, chose not to follow hisfather as a career officer in theUnited States Foreign Service, buthe certainly learned from the seniorWharton how to operate as a diplomat.As an administrator of an agriculturaldevelopment group concerned withThird World countries, and later as headof two of the nation's largest universities, Wharton has acted with consummate skill and tact, earning the respect of his constituencies along theway.(The senior Wharton spent fortyyears in the Foreign Service. His lastpost was as U.S. Ambassador to Norway.)Since 1978 Wharton has been chancellor of the State University of NewYork, (SUNY), in Albany, New York,the nation's largest university system,comprised of sixty-four campuses withan enrollment totalling 373,000 stu-s dents. The thirty-year-old SUNY system has students spread out over fourcomprehensive university campuses,two independent medical complexes,fourteen arts and science colleges, eightspecialized colleges, six two-year agricultural and technical colleges, andthirty community colleges.Both of Wharton's degrees from theUniversity are in economics. It was asan economist that he first began makingdecisions affecting thousands of lives,while working for John D. Rockefeller,III, at the Agricultural DevelopmentCouncil, a foundation that assists developing countries. He directed thecouncil's operations in Cambodia,Laos, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam,from 1958-64.While in southeast Asia Whartontaught and conducted research at theUniversity of Malaya in Kuala Lumpur.Back in the United States he taught atStanford University for a year before hebecame director of the American Universities Research Program at the agricultural council's headquarters inNew York.Wharton was named president ofMichigan State University (MSU) in1970, the first black to be named head ofa major predominantly white college inthe United States in this century.Almost as soon as he arrived atMSU, in East Lansing, Michigan,Wharton had to deal with student demonstrations, sit-ins and riots. Over thenext few years he earned a reputation asa fair administrator, one who used hisformidable negotiating skills quietlyand diplomatically.In 1970 four students were killed atKent State University in Ohio in a protest over U.S. military activity in Cambodia. Wharton appealed to his campusfor reason; he appeared on closed-circuit television and said:"Perhaps I feel the frustration andanxieties even more acutely than manyof you since I have been personally involved with Asians and Asia for manyyears."Later, he suspended classes for aday of teach-ins on Indochina,R.O.T.C., police policy, and tools ofeffective protest.When Wharton left MSU, The Detroit Free Press praised him, in an editorial entitled: "Solid Grades for Dr.Wharton."As chancellor of SUNY, Whartonspends a great deal of his time on the road, touring campuses, conductingmeetings, and giving speeches.He generally stays out of the day-to-day operation of the campuses; hedepends on the 450 local administratorsto handle things on the various campuses."My style of administration andleadership." he says, "always has beento use the people who work in the system as the greatest resource. We haveno monopoly on ultimate wisdom inthe central administration office."Wharton hopes to arouse the citizens of New York State to awarenessthat their own state-supported systemof higher education "is one of the bestin the country. It's generally unappreciated by many New Yorkers."Recently, Wharton told an audience at Teachers College at Columbia University that he is concerned about a "futurism crisis" inhigher education. Today's young people, he argued, are not being educatedfor the highly technological world inwhich they will live. And while he feelsthere is "a serious, very real crisis" inthe undergraduate curriculum, Whartonsaid a return to the "basics" is not theanswer."Despite their value, frankly, I consider the recurrent re-examinations ofgeneral education to be one of highereducation's idees fixes, a more thanslightly questionable obsession we usetoo often to avoid confronting the realissues of social and technologicalchange. Like the classic business cycle,the old general education cycle rollsaround every three to seven years, andit elicits the same alarms and excursions, the same flurry and rhetoric. Theresults, or lack of results, are equallypredictable," he said.Wharton described what had happened at the First Global Conference onthe Future, held in Toronto in 1980; itwas attended by 4,500 educators, corporate executives, environmentalists, scientists, etc. At the opening session aspeaker asked: "Are today's collegesand universities truly preparing peopleto live and work in the world of thetwenty-first century — the world inwhich tomorrow's students will spendthe larger part of their lives?""The participants," said Wharton,"mulled it over for several moments.Then they laughed. They laughed quitea lot, and I want to tell you that an audi-OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE'W inter 1982ence echoing with the hilarity ofthousands does no good for the self-esteem of any professional academic."A very large factor in the futurismcrisis has to do with science andtechnology," he continued. "In an erawhen these fields play larger roles ineach of our lives than ever before, whydo so few lay persons — college-educated persons — have any basicgrasp of them? How many of us haveeven a rough grasp of our own dominant technology of laser communications, nuclear power generation, andgenetic engineering?"... No doubt you all have beendistressed by news of falling SAT scoresand poor student performances inreading, writing, and mathematics —the so-called literacy crisis. Then, in anepoch when the computer's impact extends into virtually every cranny ofbusiness, government, and personalexperience — in an epoch when youcannot even use an ordinary libraryproperly without sitting down at a peripheral terminal — why are we notequally disturbed by an almost universal illiteracy in computer technology?"The point is, of course, that theseand thousands of equally mind-boggling developments are not sciencefiction; they are here now — the fabric ofour technological environment — yet,the undergraduate curriculum at many,possibly even most, American collegesand universities gives them scarcely apassing glance. . . . Instead we are content to be served by cadres of technicians and specialists, and, thereby, tocede to them an inordinate, even ominous amount of control over our lives.The great mass of people, includingmany college graduates, are at least arguably in danger of becoming what arecent, rather inflammatory book called'techno-peasants'; modern-day serfs,nominally free but disenfranchised byignorance, and fear, of prevailingtechnologies."As an example of behind-the-timeseducation Wharton cited the currentpreparation of students in labor relations. The Robot Institute of America,he pointed out, predicts possible salesof $1 billion a year, by 1985."Now, what impact is a billiondollars' worth of robots going to haveon collective bargaining in the UnitedStates— and what are today's collegeand university programs in labor relations doing to prepare graduates to deal with that kind of issue?" he asked.Wharton also criticized colleges forfailing to educate students about othercultures."Like it or not, every nation iscaught in a mesh of economic andpolitical relations with every other nation and the net is growing more andmore complex. . . The President'sCommission on Foreign Language andInternational Studies has documentedour country's appalling lack of knowledge of other languages and cultures. . .this parochialism has very concretedisadvantages — in our competitivenessin international trade, for example. Letme mention a few anecdotes:"The Chevrolet Nova was a near-total failure when exported to LatinAmerica. Why?

LeonBotsteinWhy college presidents don't alwaysdo what they should.Leon Botstein, AB'67, president ofBard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, a small, private liberal arts college with an enrollment of 750, and of Simon's Rock ofBard College, Great Barrington, Massachusetts, a separate institution forearly entrants only, (270 students), wasonce described by TIME Magazine as"one of the nation's most forceful advocates of an often neglected cause:the small liberal arts college."This is not surprising, since Botstein, now thirty-four, has spent almosthis entire career as president of a liberalarts college. In 1970, when he was onlytwenty-three, he was invited to becomepresident of Franconia College in ruralNew Hampshire, an institution whichhad been modelled on the progressiveideas of John Dewey."I became president by a fluke ofcircumstance," Botstein recalled. "I wasworking at the time as special assistant9to the then president of the New YorkCity school board, Joseph Monserrat. Ihad a brother-in-law at Franconia, andon a social visit encountered the chairman of the board of trustees. Franconiahad many problems, was going intobankruptcy, had barely 100 students,and was on the brink of closing. Because of my position in education, I wasasked to help in the search for a president."No one of any quality would accept the job. Anyone who was seriousabout a career in higher education feltgun-shy. So they asked me to put mymoney where my mouth was and become president."So I said to myself, if I don't take itI'll always wonder what it would havebeen like, and I'll regret it. For onething, I'd never lived outside a city. Itwas a leap of faith appropriate to myage. And it turned out to be a wonderful, serious experience."When Botstein left Franconia afterfive years the college was solvent andthe enrollment was up to 300.The liberal arts college is the mostembattled, most threatened sector of higher education," he saidin a recent interview. "Therefore it ismost in need of fresh thinking, andshould be most willing to undertakerisks. Liberal arts colleges must exercisesome intellectual courage, if they are tosurvive."The mission of the liberal arts college, says Botstein, "is to recreate itscapacity to make sense out of theundergradutate experience. The liberalarts college need not be simply the conservator of the past, but a harbinger ofthe future. It really should have the capacity to think through clearly and effectively once more what the propercharacter of undergraduate educationought to be. It has the flexibility, thesize, and the commitment to a singlearea which larger institutions do nothave."Too many people, Botstein feels,are coming out of years of compulsoryschooling with little or no idea why itwould be useful for them to becomewell-educated."They are unaware that it is not toprepare them for social reasons, butrather to enable them to participate inserious discussions of the problems,predicaments, and opportunities thathave to be shared in our common life. "The link between education anddemocracy is a simple, straightforwardone. The capacity to conduct seriousconversation, to discuss problems, issorely in need of development — it isundernourished and restricted."Having spent most of his career asa college president, Botstein has somedecided views on the proper functionsof the role."The essence of the task of the president of a college or university is thecreation of a particular, serious educational mission, the fashioning of an intellectual and social institution whosework enhances not only those withinthe institution, but the public and cultural life around us as well."The irony is that fewer presidents,and even fewer trustees, faculty andstudents acknowledge or encourage efforts towards the most significant aspect of a college presidency: the assumption of substantive educationalleadership."First, we are asked to act as managers, often of consistent but slightly inadequate financial resources, of extensive real estate, of a diverse labor force,and of a complex network in the flow ofmaterials and services."Second, we are asked to brokervested interests to maintain balanceand harmony among competing groupswithout necessarily challenging thepremises or habits of the very vestedinterests with which we must deal. Themore we are forced to appear aschameleons, the more satisfied are ourimmediate constituencies, trustees,faculty, and students."Third, we are not in control of ourschedules or our time, as we fulfill theceremonial and official functions andwork through the array of necessarypublic appearances. It is no accidentthat many recent ambassadors havebeen college presidents and vice versa.Both jobs require little substantive expertise, but much in the way of socialgrace and stamina. By analogy, one cansafely assume that the average ambassador has as much to do with the creation and shaping of foreign policy asthe average college president has withthe creation of a curriculum and theshaping of an intellectual community."Fourth, a vast amount of our timeis invested in the most inefficient formof income generation: fund raising.Few more preposterous activities haveever been devised within the framework of capitalism. Efficiency, ingenuity, self-interest, competition andmargin of profitability are criteria of asuccessful business whose end productis, after all, surplus income or profit.The precise opposite criteria seem tomake for a good fund-raising operation,Raising money is inefficient, time-consuming, immune to ingenuity (forsolidity and conventionality of approaches and objects seem to inspirethe giver), hostile to innovation."For these reasons, Botstein said,college presidents do not do what theyshould, and probably couldn't, even ifthey wanted to."A college president must have aserious working mind with a deep active commitment to an aspect of theuniversity's or college's primary function: research and teaching. She or heshould continue to function either asscholar or teacher and remain a primusinter pares."In addition, a college presidentmust sieze the leadership in determining what the institution stands for in itsapproach to teaching, learning, training, and research. From the president'soffice should come the call to and oftenthe content of substantive change.Risk-taking efforts at improving thecharacter of how we teach and learn andwhat we teach and learn should stemfrom that office."The crisis in our culture, the discontinuity with the very traditions ofthought and action which bred the progenitors of the modern college and university are severe. To seize this age ofdislocation in politics and culture, thismoment of uncertainty, to renew andre-fashion the mission of the undergraduate and graduate experience is theonly serious task facing a president."Few offices in our American culture and social fabric still hold as muchpotential power and promise. Fewperiods in our history seem to ask moreacutely for the exercise of judgment,courage, and intellectual leadershipfrom influential, visible individualsoutside religion and politics."To take the risk and assume thatthe office of a college president requiresthe exercise of such substantial andnon-managerial leadership, to have thearrogance that our time is ripe for it; topossess the temerity to feel that one willhave a modicum of success in the endeavor, are all that being a college oruniversity president shoud ever mean."10 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE/Wn,MarthaChurchHelping youngwomen to recognizetheir potential.Martha Church, PhD'60, president of Hood College, Frederick, Maryland, is a rarity amongcollege presidents. She's a woman.*Church, like most of her counterparts [male and female] thrives onchallenges. Last January she hiked to18,200 feet on Kala Pattar, Nepal,"which provided a fantastic view of thesummit of [Mount] Everest, and of theEverest base camp." And for six yearsshe has headed Hood College, a small,private, women's college of 1,100 undergraduates and 600 part-time graduate students.The challenge, as president, hasbeen to keep Hood going as a single-sexcollege, at a time when many othersingle-sex institutions — primarilymen's colleges — were going co-ed.Church has done more than help*ln a survey of 2,765 higher-education institutions last December the American Councilon Education found only 219 headed by women. Hood to survive. Enrollment has doubled during her tenure; the budget hasbeen balanced; the college has raised $7million toward a goal of $8.8 million ina capital funds campaign."One of the issues for survival isdistinctiveness of mission, and there isno question that we have a very distinctive mission," said Church.That mission, she explained, is tohelp women recognize that their potential is equal to that of men, and toteach them ways in which to maximizetheir potential."We're really past the problemswhich some of the women's collegesfaced in the early 1970s, [such as declining enrollments]," she said. "Whatoccurred was a renewal of spirit, anopening of minds relative to the wholefeminist movement."Back in 1893 the founders ofHood, a group of German Reformedpastors, set Hood apart by saying thatwomen should be prepared not only forlife in the home, but in the world ofwork, too. It was a pioneering statement at the time," said Chruch."Recently the college renewed itscommitment to women by looking atsome of the non-traditional career areaswithin a liberal arts context. In the early1970s Hood launched, for example,professional preparation for management careers. One innovative programintegrates courses on society and thelaw, which attracts not only pre-lawstudents, but others interested insocial and economic problems."Hood also offers internships, atover 300 sites, where students maylearn first-hand what it's like to work ina field they are considering.Attendance at a women's college,says Church, offers opportunities toyoung women they may not findelsewhere."Some students come in withoutmuch sense of reality about what it isgoing to be like out in the world forthem," said Church. "They haven't recognized some of the things we havegotten into, trying to open paths forthem. But by the time they leave theyhave a very strong understanding of thebenefits they have enjoyed. We try toget them to visit coed colleges whilethey are here, and suggest that theylook around for role models similar tothe remarkably successful women wehave here."Church herself attended a women's college, Wellesley, for her undergraduate degree. As she was about tocomplete her doctorate in geography atthe University of Chicago, she was invited back to Wellesley to teach."I was spotted by [the late] Margaret Clapp, then president of Wellesleyand without my realizing it, she startedto involve me in different kinds of administrative exposure. Eventually sheindicated she was preparing me to become one of the class deans."After eight years at Wellesley,Church became associate executive director of the Middle States Associationof Colleges and Schools, which accredits institutions of higher learning."It was devastating to see how fewwomen were working at any upperlevel in these universities and colleges," she recalled. "So what I did wasto make certain that we identifiedwomen as chairpersons of the evaluation teams, and as members of visitingteams. And I did a little consciousness-raising, when I visited these institutions!"When we held a search this springfor a new provost at Hood, we had 150applicants, and more than half werewomen. Many women are now in thepipeline, and ready to move up in college administration. It's been marvelous to see this happening, but the jobsfor the most part are in the women'scolleges. Only occasionally do some ofthe coeducational colleges hire awoman at the top level."Until the composition of governing boards changes, the chances ofwomen surviving the search process[for college presidencies] are going tobe limited, except at extraordinary institutions that are willing to take risks.Sixty-year-old gentlemen appear to seemen as safer bets."Eventually, when the track records of women who have become presidents come to be widely known, Ithink people are going to conclude thatwomen can handle the managementand fund-raising aspects of college administration."In almost every case, women whoare now college presidents have comeinto difficult campus situations createdby a man. And most of us have beenable to take the measures that lead tosuccess. We've done very well."n12 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE/Winter 1982Alumni College Presidents1.

It bearsthe slogan "ReuniteGondwanaland,"and amap of the presumablywar-torn island continent, which appears quite literally to be falling apart.The wearers of those T-shirts do notbelong to any revolutionary organization, although anyone who is in on thejoke will find their proposal radical indeed. They are advocating a return tothe good old days, when China wascovered by the sea and dotted withscattered tropical islands, when the areaaround Chicago was a rainsoakedswamp straddling the equator, andwhen a super-continent called Gond-wana, comprised of present-day Africa,South America, India, Antarctica, andAustralia, covered a good portion of theSouthern Hemisphere.This disorienting picture of theearth three hundred million years ago isthe result of research being done byAlfred Ziegler, associate professor inthe department of Geophysical Sciences. Aided by a number of associatesand graduate students, Ziegler is preparing an atlas that will show thechanging positions of the earth's continents over the past half billion years.Titled An Atlas of PaleogeographicMaps, the volume will contain a full setof maps for every twenty million yearsof the earth's history, going back about580 million years. Although the University of Chicago Press is the leading bidder for the publishing rights, Zieglerand his associates are still lookingaround for the most economical way ofgetting the atlas into print. They hopeto keep costs low enough to interestnon-specialists.Besides inspiring the ardor of a fewvisionary patriots, who seek the reunification of a "country" which hasbeen obsolete these past three hundredmillion years, the project serves a distinctly more pragmatic purpose. By reconstructing ancient geographic conditions, geologists hope to locate wherespecific types of mineral deposits mayhave formed in the past. Once theclimatic, geographic, and tectonic (literally "building," i.e. geological structural) history of an area has been determined, they can better predict whatthe chances are of finding a given mineral deposit there.Not surprisingly, among those 435-430million years490-475million years agoChmaXpondwana550-540million years agoMAPPINGTHEWORLDFOR 580MILLIONYEARS Africa-^•iju ffi-1 JHrk iih3l !puUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE/Winter 1982Mr j. 13 360-340million years ago310-300million years ago260-250million years agoAntarcticaPresent GeophysicistAlfred Ziegler supervises ap ale o geographic atlas whichmay help locate potentialfossil fuel sites. t¦y" Laurussla 225million years ago200million years agomillion years ago 135 million years ago© 1980 by The New York Times Company.Reprinted by permission.17most eagerly awaiting the atlas are theoil companies. Shell, Amoco, Exxon,Mobil, Chevron, Cities Service, andMarathon have contributed funding tothe project, in the hopes that Ziegler'sstudy will reveal hitherto unexploredsources of fossil fuels."We get very broad support fromthe oil business," Ziegler explains, "because our studies can be used as a predictive tool for finding more hydrocarbon reserves."Oil and gas form in areas of veryspecific environmental and climatologicconditions," he elaborates. "Weexamine the maps of the past and seewhere the oil source rocks occur in thepaleogeographic context. Then we canexamine the maps more closely andlook for other areas where we expectthose conditions to occur, but where nooil source rocks are known. Then wecan say, 'Well, we think there might beoil here of a certain age, and if you drillto that particular level, you might findit.'"The impetus behind Ziegler'sproject is the recent revival ofinterest in the theory of continental drift, originally proposed by Alfred Wegener in the earlypart of the twentieth century. Wegenerwas a German geologist andmeteorologist, who interpreted theconformity of the continental marginsalong the Atlantic as evidence that theyhad once formed a larger land mass."It's quite obvious," says Ziegler,"even to a casual observer, that theshapes of continents like South Americaand Africa are such that they fit quitenicely together." That in itself wouldnot be so striking, were it not for thefact that, as Wegener noted, the geologyon opposite sides of the ocean matchesup quite well."But people just couldn't imagineany mechanism by which the continents would move, so the theory fellout of favor. It wasn't until there wassome objective means of actuallymeasuring the amounts that continentshad moved that people started to payattention again to this possibility," saysZiegler.The scientific advance which provided empirical evidence for themovement of the continents was thedevelopment of paleomagnetism, or thestudy of the magnetism of ancient rockformations."The earth's magnetic field is not parallel with the surface of the earth except right at the equator," Zieglernotes. "As you go toward either Pole,the field is inclined at a steeper andsteeper angle to the surface of the earth.When volcanic or sedimentary rock isdeposited, any iron-bearing particles inthe rock have a tendency to orientthemselves parallel with the magneticfield, just like little compasses. So whenyou measure the magnetism in rocks,you get not only the original directionto the Pole, but the distance from thePole, because the inclination changesregularly as a function of the distance."The magnetic record imprinted inrocks provides another essential pieceof information; it can be used to determine the age of the rock as well. Todo this, geologists take advantage of anunexplained phenomenon whereby theearth's magnetic field is prone to flip180°, at irregular intervals of onehundred thousand to a million years.One hundred thousand years or so ago,the end of a compass needle that nowpoints north would have pointed south.This sequence of magnetic reversals isrecorded in the rock layers along withthe information on latitude and orientation. Since the sequence of reversalshas been dated with considerable accuracy, wherever the magnetic record ispreserved it can be used as a reliabletimetable.More germane to the history of thecontinental drift theory, however, wasthe evidence provided by paleomagnetism that the sea floor between continents was, indeed, spreading, andthat the rate at which the continentswere moving apart could be measured.To see how this is so, it is necessary tosee what kind of changes and refinements had been carried out onWegener's original hypothesis. Butfirst, a brief description of the composition of the earth may be helpful inunderstanding how those refinementsarose.The earth is made up of threemain parts. At the center is ametallic core about 2100 milesin diameter, composed mostly of liquid iron and nickel. The core issurrounded by a mantle of partiallymolten silicate rock, about 1800 milesthick. The whole thing is clad by a thincrust, twenty miles thick beneath thecontinents, and a mere five or six milesthick beneath the oceans.The mantle, although it is believed to be partially molten, behaves like asolid in some ways, such as its ability totransmit shock waves. But over time itexhibits properties of a liquid as well,in that it appears to be highly viscous,like gum or glue, and is able to flow.When a liquid, or a semi-liquidmaterial like the mantle, is heated, itsdensity increases, and it rises upwardto float above the denser, cooler liquid;as it rises it cools and becomes denseragain, causing it to sink and start thecycle once more. This cycle, known asconvection, is believed to exist in themantle just as it does in a pot of boilingwater. But because of the greater distances involved and the viscosity andenormous pressure in the mantle, itdoes so on a scale of millions of years.Working at first from little morethan an elegant hunch, Harry Hess, aprofessor at Princeton, suggested in1960 that the action of convection currents in the mantle might be responsible for some of the more violentgeologic processes in the earth's crust,such as the prevalence of volcanoesalong the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Otherscientists, following up on Hess's ideas,mapped the worldwide distribution ofearthquakes and volcanoes, and discovered that they divided the rigidouter crust of the earth into large areas,which they called plates. The study ofthe movement of these plates was calledplate tectonics.According to the modern theory ofplate tectonics, the earth's plates form athin, cool shell floating on the densermantle underneath. Some of the morespectacular natural phenomena, such asvolcanoes and earthquakes, are the results of the movement of those plates.As the mantle churns slowly but surelybelow, the theory goes, the plates skimalong the top at the rate of a centimeteror so a year.But as Ziegler points out, the precise mechanisms of plate tectonics areless well understood than the movement of the plates themselves."We don't really know how thickthe plates are or how deep they go. Andwe don't really know why they move asthey do. It's clear that they move apart,and that part of the story is the easiestto understand."The evidence for this is the presence of mid-ocean ridges. At placeswhere the plates are moving apart,molten rock from the underlying mantleis extruded through the breach, forming a mid-ocean ridge of active vol-18 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE/Winter 1982canoes, such as those of Iceland and theAzores in the mid-Atlantic. As newocean-floor material is formed along theridge, it is "coded" according to thecurrent magnetic orientation, and as thecontinents move apart thesealternations of polarity form parallelbands, known as linear magneticanomalies. With the aid of a magnetometer, a device that measuresmagnetic intensity, geologists can de tect the magnetic banding of the oceanfloor, and correlate the age of each bandwith the timetable of magnetic reversals."As you sail across the ocean,"Ziegler explains, "you find that for awhile the magnetism is the same astoday; then it will be the opposite. It'snecessary, obviously, to calibrate this,to drill every once in a while and determine exactly what age the rocks are.Schematic representation of the process whereby sea-floor spreading and polarity reversals produce a seriesof magnetized lava strips parallel to the mid-oceanridge, which in turn produce symmetrical magnetic anomaliesin stripes parallel to the ridge.2.75 million yearsMagnetization Normal!HS* ,ie'd ?"everse ^^3Hi Normalintensity Epoch 3PositiveAverage NegativeSea level 2.25 million yearsMagnetic fieldintensity,1 Reversedpolarity,Epoch 2PositiveNegativeSea levelPresent time.

So at this point, after all the voyages ofthis kind made by the Deep Sea DrillingProject, [sponsored by the National Science Foundation] the age of the oceanfloor has been very well mapped out."The rows of magnetic anomaliesare all parallel with the mid-ocean ridgeand with the margins of the continents,and they all get successively older asthey get further from the ridge."That," says Ziegler, "really convinced people that the continents hadmoved. And if they're moving apart,then in some areas they must be comingback together, or plates must be converging."Normally this happens at anocean-to-continent contact, as in theAndes Mountains in South America.There the oceanic crust is disappearing;it's being consumed, as it were, beneath the Andes, and that's what produces all the volcanoes down there."So we have tensional areas [whereplates are moving apart, as in themid-Atlantic], we have compressionalareas [where plates are moving together, such as along the Andes or theHimalayas], and we have shear areas,where the plates are moving along bigfaults lines, like the San Andreas fault.We really don't know why it's happening. There are a number of ideas but nounanimity in the scientific community."As incomplete as our understanding of plate tectonics is, scientists havebeen able to use what knowledge theyhave to reconstruct the movement of thelarger plates with a high degree of accuracy. Analysis of sea-floor spreading,however, only provides evidence of thecontinent's positions going back 200million years.That was when the plates constituting an immense continent, whichgeologists call Pangaea, began splittingapart to form the present-day continents of North and South America,Africa, Antarctica, Australia, andEurasia, and the subcontinents of Indiaand Saudi Arabia. Tracing the path ofthe continents after the break-up ofPangaea is relatively easy, says Ziegler,since the magnetic banding of the oceanfloor amounts to a virtual step-by-steprecord. To reconstruct the configurationof the continents before Pangaea brokeup requires a more elaborate procedure.The paleomagnetic records providemost of the information necessary todetermine the latitude and originalorientation of rocks, even those formed19before Pangaea broke up. But, saysZiegler, "it doesn't tell you one criticalpiece of information — it doesn't giveyou any idea of longitude. You can goalong quite happily doing one continent, you can orient one continent onthe globe, but if you have another occupying the same latitudinal belt, youdon't know how far apart they werelongitudinally. You have to figure thatout from other lines of evidence."To do so, Ziegler analyzes the fossilfindings of geologists working aroundthe globe. The existence of identicalplant and animal remains on widelyseparated continents indicates that theland masses were previously close together. Fossils of correspondingly fewersimilarities indicate respectively greaterseparation, of distances that could onlybe covered by wind-borne plants andanimals.The process is more sophisticatedthan simply matching up similar fossils, however. Using their knowledge ofpaleoecology (the study of ancientecological systems) to determine whattype of environment is implied by theoccurence of certain kinds of animals,Ziegler and his associates are able todraw detailed inferences concerning thegeology and climate of the organism'soriginal habitat. This is where Ziegler'sown area of expertise becomes especially important."I'm a paleontologist, basically,and I've worked on the evolution of organisms. A lot of my early work was insorting out communities among thefossils. A community is just a naturallyrecurring group of organisms that happens to live in an area because they areall adapted to the conditions that prevail."From this knowledge, Ziegler canextrapolate a picture of the original environment at the site."In geology we work backwards.An ecologist starts by knowing whatthe conditions are like and then describing the communities. We don'tknow what the conditions were like at aparticular site. A geologist or a community paleoecologist approaches thesubject by knowing what the community was because the fossils are preserved there, but not knowing howdeep the water was or what the temperature was or that sort of thing."Both the nature of the organismsand the type of rocks in which their remains are found can be used to determine original conditions. For exam-20 pie, evaporite minerals, such as gypsum and salt, which are sedimentarydeposits formed by the evaporation ofsea water in an enclosed basin, signifythat the site was originally located in anarid desert region. Glacial deposits,known as tillites, indicate polar ormountainous regions. And coal deposits indicate wet, tropical or temperate conditions conducive to plentifulplant life. That is how we know that thearea around Chicago was once aswamp; the extensive coal deposits ofIllinois are the fossil remains of an immense primeval jungle.Ziegler can use data on the climateat individual locations to create a stillmore detailed picture of the configuration of ancient continents. To do this,he looks at the distribution of environments in the modern world.The climatic conditions of themodern world are systematically distributed, in a way that reflects the topography of the continents, the greatereffect of heating at the equator, and the influence of the earth's rotation. Byusing some highly educatedguesswork, and by applying what isknown about the behavior of modernclimate zones to the hypothetical continents of about 500 million years ago,Ziegler checks to see if the predictedclimate conditions and the resultingfossil remains coincide. As more data iscollected, the reconstructions get increasingly precise.Since reliable fossil records only goback approximately 580 million years,that is as far back as Ziegler's reconstructions can go with this kind ofdetail. Compared to the estimated 4.5billion years the earth has been in existence, the atlas represents a rather briefepisode in geologic history. But what itlacks in breadth it makes up for indepth."We're working on collecting wellover a thousand points for each individual map, to establish in as great detail as possible what the conditionswere like in all different parts of theDiagrammatic representation of the earth's magneticfield (a), showing how the angle of magnetic inclination varies as a function of latitude; (b, c, and d) illustrate the lines of magnetic force as they would be measured atpoints n, e, and s, respectively. When new rock is formed,iron particles align themselves with the lines of magneticforce, so geologists can determine their original latitude bycorrelating it to the angle of magnetization within the rock.T .< North(a)(Reprinted by permission, from The Way the Earth Works, by Peter J. Wyllie, Q 1976 by JohnWiley & Sons, Inc.)UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE/Winter 1982world."Thousands of geologists are outthere doing field work and basic surveying, working on individual periodsof time or on individual regions to try tofigure out the history of that particularregion. To date, we've collected information on something in excess offifteen thousand localities."In order to draw together this massive influx of data, Ziegler has assumedthe position of coordinator, collectingand organizing the raw material of hiscolleagues' findings. That cuts down ontime to keep up with his own fieldwork."At the present time I'm not doingany primary field work. If I were to doan atlas of the type I'm doing, I wouldnever be able to study enough areas onmy own to make it worth while. It's all Ican do to keep up with the informationthat's coming in from the published literature."What we are faced with is a worldwhich has really been quite wellstudied geologically. For me it's a matter of trying to get familiar enough withworld geology, and familiar enoughwith the papers that have been published, to make world reconstructionsgoing all the way through time forroughly the last six hundred millionyears of earth history."Even with Ziegler confining muchof his work to the laboratory, the task ofrecording six hundred million years ofearth history is a bit onerous for oneman. The job is spread among a contingent of sixteen, including RichardBambach, an associate professor fromVirginia Polytechnic Institute who is afrequent visiting professor at the University; W.S. McKerrow, a professor atOxford University and Ziegler's formersponsor there; and Christopher Scotese,a graduate student and research assistant in the department of GeophysicalSciences. Not surprisingly, one of thegroup's most helpful associates is acomputer. The computer is usedprimarily to store information and todraft the maps."The computer can make a map inan hour or so, and then it can produce amap of any size and projection. It takesa long time to get the computer programmed to do what you want it to do,but once you do it, the map making isvery easy."We prepared a paper about a yearand a half ago in which we had included fifty maps all together, and they Alfred Zieglerwere all drawn on the computer in thespan of about a week. It's very fast andit's very accurate and flexible."Despite the demands ofputting the atlas together,Ziegler finds it instructive,not to mention refreshing,to get out into the field when he can,and he regularly attends field conferences as part of his efforts to keepabreast of new developments. In September he took a group of students outto Wyoming to study the geology there,and in the past he has led his studentson expeditions to Newfoundland andthe Canadian Rockies. To examinerocks in the process of formation, hetakes them skindiving in the Caribbean, where they get to see coral reefand sedimentary processes in action.Putting an academic face even on ajaunt to the tropics, he maintains that"Coral reef or carbonate depositiononly occurs in low latitudes, where thetemperatures are warm enough for thecorals, and light penetration to the seafloor is great enough for coral reefgrowth."And," he concedes, "apart fromthat, it's a very pleasant thing to do.Normally we go down there betweenthe winter and spring quarters. It pro vides an opportunity for us to get outafter the long winter, when the weatheraround Chicago is still pretty cold."Befitting his role as collector andorganizer of his colleagues' findings,Ziegler is quite a collector in private lifeas well. His office in the Henry HindsLaboratory for Geophysical Sciences reveals the eye of a true connoiseur atwork. It is furnished with an array offine oak antiques, most of which he salvaged and refinished himself."When we moved into this building," he recalls, "we were all offerednew plastic furniture. So I collected asmuch as I could find around the old department."At home, his collector's instinct diversifies still more. In addition to hisJacobean oak and American Empiremahogany originals, he keeps a collection of antique woodworking tools. Nomuseum pieces, they are put to use inthe construction of Ziegler's own originals. And his home is further fitted outwith a collection of some two hundredantique lamps, from ancient Greek tonineteenth century oil lamps, which heinherited from his aunt.Ziegler credits that aunt, not onlywith contributing one more hobby tohis already varied inventory, but withinitiating his interest in geology aswell."She worked at Wellesley College[in Wellesley, Massachusetts] and tookgeology courses there, and became veryinterested in the subject. When I wasjust about six or seven years old, shebrought me books on geology and mineral specimens and fossil specimens,things that were rejects from the Wellesley College collection, and so she gotme interested at a very early age. I didn'teven realize at that time that there werecareers in geology or that it was something you could take in college."Times have changed. "Geology,"says Ziegler, "has been changing remarkably in the last twenty years or so.The notion of continental drift was proposed way back in 1910 by Wegener,"but it had to wait for the developmentof fields like paleomagnetism,paleoecology, and computer technologybefore it could emerge as a full-fledgedscientific theory.And, even though the chances arethat Ziegler's atlas will not be the lastword on the matter, it looks as if thefour and a half billion year wait isdrawing to a close.Michael Alper21Arecordfor service,an eyefor art:THE BERGMANSBetty "Lindy" LindenbergerBergman, AB'39, and Edwin A.Bergman, AB'39, (oppositepage), in their art-filled apartment.

For Edwin A.Bergman, AB'39, and his wife,Betty (Lindy) Lindenberger Bergman,AB'39, The University of Chicago isan important part of their community.Bergman was elected chairman ofthe Board of Trustees in June, afterserving on the board since 1976.Mrs. Bergman has served on theExecutive Committee of the Universityof Chicago Hospitals and Clinics sinceits founding four years ago.The Bergmans' long history of volunteer service to their alma mater beganback in 1934. At that time, the thenLindy Lindenberger was sixteen. In thesummer between her junior and senioryears in high school, responding to arequest from a friend's mother, shebegan to serve as a volunteer in the giftshop of the Chicago Lying-in Hospital(CLH).About that time, Edwin A. Bergman, AB'39, then seventeen, was dropping by the University to visit his olderbrother, William (AB'35), a student inThe College. Occasionally the younger,Bergman would visit the University'sField House, to run on the track.Neither young person couldforesee it, of course, but each was beginning a lifelong relationship with theGothic-towered institution, whicheventually was to provide them and theUNIVERSITY OF CHlCAn&i MAr_AS'r*rEj»«»;_.

"I figure I've attended monthlymeetings of Mothers' Aid for the lasthundred years," said Mrs. Bergman,laughing, when we interviewed thecouple at Robie House. (Mothers' Aid isthe fund-raising group which runs theCLH Gift Shop and publishes the famous and best-selling book, Our Baby'sFirst Seven Years.)Actually, she's been attendingthose meetings only for about forty years, since she herself was a youngmother, living in Hyde Park. From1963-67 Mrs. Bergman served as president of Mothers' Aid, and she is still amember of the Baby Book Committee.She is an honorary member of the CLHBoard of Directors.Her eyes sparkling, Mrs. Bergmantalked about her work on the ExecutiveCommittee of the Medical Center."We've been involved with planning the new hospital," she said. "Weare completely immersed in the problems of the Medical Center — budget,planning, all of it. So you can see, it'sbeen very challenging. I enjoy it verymuch."It was during their courtship days,while undergraduates in TheCollege, that Mrs. Bergman firstinvolved her future husband involunteer work for the University.The Bergmans had met while stillin high school, although they attendeddifferent schools. In The College, theirromance flowered."We 'went steady,' that was theterm we used then, during our last twoyears on campus," recalled Bergman."She wore my fraternity pin; I was amember of Pi Lamda Phi.""Being 'pinned' was consideredbeing engaged to be engaged," saidMrs. Bergman. "About that time I was avolunteer driver for doctors at ChicagoLying-in Hospital. In those days theyused to deliver babies at home, anddoctors would make post-partum callsat patients' homes. I drove them onpost-partum calls."At Christmas, we took baskets offood to poor patients; the hospitalwould give us a list. That's when I gotEd to come along and help."As an undergraduate in The College, Bergman was on the track teamduring his freshman year, but he laterdropped that to become co-businessmanager of The Chicago Maroon."I just parked my car on the spotwhere I used to work for The Maroon,"he said, as he settled in the RobieHouse living room for this interview."That's where Lexington Hall used tostand; it's now a parking lot. At thattime, The Maroon was a daily newspaper, and I must say, that job took up alot of my time. Still, I managed to put inan awful lot of time at the C-Shop. Wereally made a lot of good friendsthrough The Maroon, many of whom arestill our friends, after all these years. Infact, some of our closest friends arepeople we were in school with at theUniversity."The Bergmans were married in1940, a year after their graduation, andsettled in Hyde Park for the next tenyears. Bergman joined his father-in-law's firm, The U. S. Reduction Company, in East Chicago, Indiana.Bergman is now president and a director of The U.S. Reduction Company.While the Bergmans were raisingthree children, first in Hyde Park andlater in Highland, a community farthersouth, Mrs. Bergman continued hervolunteer work at Chicago Lying-inHospital, and also at Billings Hospital.At one time she was a volunteer ina program run by Dr. John E. Ultmann,Associate Dean for Research Programsin the Division of the Biological Sciences and the Pritzker School ofMedicine, professor in the Departmentof Medicine, and director of the University Cancer Research Center. In that capacity, Mrs. Bergman visited terminallyill patients."It was very, very depressing," she said. "I'd come home, and by the time Iwent back a few days later, several patients would have died."There was a wonderful chaplain,[the late] Carl Nighswonger, who gaveus seminars, to help us deal with terminally ill patients. I regret that I didn't domore with it."During his years as a youngbusinessman, Bergman wasnot as active in volunteerwork for the University as hiswife was, but eventually he joined theCitizens' Board, and in 1965, he accepted an invitation from [the late]Earle Ludgin, X'22, to become amember of the Visiting Committee tothe Humanities. Since then, both Bergmans have been active volunteers onthe University's behalf.Bergman is very enthusiastic abouthis membership on the Visiting Committee to the Humanities."The function of the VisitingCommittee is to get people interested inthe University, to make them aware ofsome of the things we do, and of theexcellence in some of our divisions anddepartments. There are lots of Visiting Mrs. Bergman stands behind a glass case holding several Cornell boxes.Committees now, but the HumanitiesCommittee was the first one."I've asked lots of people to join theHumanities Committee. We usually goto men or women who are involved inbusiness or active in the community.Attending a Visiting Committee meeting is unlike anything that you woulddo in your normal day. We usually havea luncheon, and then someone from theHumanities Division will talk about hisor her subject."We've heard novelist Richard G.Stern talk about what it is like to be awriter in a community like this, andhow he manages to write, while teaching. [Stern is professor in the Department of English, The College, and theCommittee on General Studies in theHumanities. He is the author of severalnovels, among them Packages, OtherMen's Daughters, andNatural Shocks]."Recently, we listened to AnthonyYu, PhD'69, who told us about his worktranslating Journey to the West, one ofthe great treasures of Chinese literature.|Yu is professor in the Divinity School,the Department of Far Eastern Languages and Civilizations, and Committee on Social Thought, and the Department of English]."One does not ordinarily meetthese people, in the course of everydaylife," Bergman continued. "I find themfascinating. I think it's a rare opportunity for people to be involved, and ifthey are like me they come away fromthe meeting excited about the University of Chicago. And they feel they areparticipating in some way with theUniversity."In 1976 Bergman became a trusteeof the University, and in June hebecame the tenth chairman of theBoard of Trustees since the University was founded in 1892."A reporter for The Maroon askedme recently, 'Why would you want tobe a trustee?' And I said that at the timeI was asked to be a trustee, that was thegreatest honor I'd ever received. I wasvery pleased that my alma mater wouldwant me to serve in a governing role. Itmakes me feel very proud that I wasconsidered capable of doing somethingto help carry on the great tradition ofThe University of Chicago."Then, when I was chosen chairman of the Board, it was beyond anything that I'd ever perceived," saidBergman."I really feel that I owe a great dealto the University, not just for the education I received here, but also for theBasic Program [of Liberal Education]experience, which took us into the artworld and changed our lives dramatically."In addition, I'm grateful for TheUniversity of Chicago LaboratorySchool, which all of our children attended, and for all of our friends, mostof whom we met here. I'm glad, too,that the University is still here, in HydePark, so that we can participate in somany cultural events. I think it is a rareopportunity, to live in such a neighborhood."The Bergmans moved back to HydePark several years ago. Their oldestdaughter, Carol, is married to a formerclassmate from the Laboratory School,Douglas Cohen, and they live in Highland Park. Their son, Robert Bergman,is in the recycling business, in NewOrleans. Their youngest daughter, Betsy, who is married to Law Schoolalumnus Andrew Rosenfield, JD'73,shares her parents' passion for art. Sheoperates the Betsy Rosenfield Gallery,on Ontario Street in Chicago.The Bergman daughters are carrying on the family tradition of community service; each is involved in severalvolunteer activities.In the same vein, Bergman'sbrother and sister-in-law, William,AB'35, and Janet Lewy Bergman, AB'36,are volunteers for the President's Fund,the largest gift club for the University'sAlumni Fund.It was through their participationin the Basic Program of Liberal Education for Adults, which is administeredby University Extension, that the Bergmans discovered an interest in art.They are now avid art collectors, andown a superb collection of Surrealistand contemporary art."We had been out of school aboutten years and we felt we were gettingintellectually lazy," said Bergman. "Sowe enrolled in the Basic Program, and ithad a wonderful effect on us. I think itchanged our lives quite a bit. We felt wewere well-educated, having come out ofthe University of Chicago. I suppose wehad a good smattering of education, butthis took us into the whole humanitiesfield that we had not been deeply involved in. Lindy had been an Englishmajor, with a minor in art, so she hadsome background, but I got an undergraduate degree in business.""Anyway, this was done in a different way," said Mrs. Bergman, "andit opened our eyes. It was just wonderful. We began to discuss art, not contemporary art, necessarily, just art. Webegan to go to the Art Institute (ofChicago) a lot. Later we devoured Masters of Modern Art, a book published bythe Museum of Modern Art, and visitedthe museum whenever we were inNew York. We educated ourselves."Once, back in the fifties Ed cameback from a business trip with a pictureas a present. That was it. We realizedwe could own a piece of art."Today, observed writer VickiGoldberg in Saturday Review, "the Bergmans live in the middle of their delights: art, art, and more art."She was right. The Bergmans'apartment, with art lining the walls ofevery room, standing on tables, floors,and even on a large hassock, and peer ing out from bookshelves, is a delightfor the visitor, too.In the living room alone there are acollage, a painting, and a sculputre byMiro; four works by Ernst; a Dubuffet;a Brauner; a Magritte; three Nevelsons;a Matta; a Tchelitshev drawing; a Gorkydrawing; a DeKooning sculpture; asmall Masson; an Arp; and others.Even some of the furniture was designed by artists. There are, throughoutthe spacious, elegant apartment, chairsby Giacometti, Buggati, and AlanSiegel.In choosing art, the Bergmans havebeen guided by their own tastes. Theybuy only art that delights them."We started collecting surrealistart," said Bergman, "and we still have afine surrealist collection, but we buythings much more contemporary thatstill have a surrealist feel to them.""Most of our art involves people, oranimals, instead of being non-objective," said Mrs. Bergman.Much of their art reflects a keensense of humor. Standing under aglass-topped coffee table, (the base ispart of an old Sicilian donkey cart) arethree small, delightful, wooly, lambs,which were made from tree trunks byFelipe Archuletta, a "naive" artist fromSanta Fe, New Mexico.In the mid-fifties the Bergmansbegan collecting the art of Joseph Cornell. Cornell, who died in 1972, at theage of 69, created "boxes," containersin which he arranged objects as in astage setting. His themes are sometimeswhimsical, sometimes elegant, frequently enigmatic.In 1959, the Bergmans met Italianartist Piero Dorazio, who, onhearing they owned severalCornells, offered to introducethem to the artist. As they were aboutto leave Rome, he gave them a wrappedpackage, to take to Cornell, who livedin Flushing, New York."He does not like to see people,"explained Dorazio, "But he cannot resist a gift. Tell him you have a packagefrom me, when you call."Several months later, Bergman, ona business trip to New York, calledCornell, who said, "Oh, I can't see anyone. I know you have some of mythings and I'd like to meet you, but I amnot strong enough and can't see you.""But when I told him about the26 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO VIAGAZINE/Winter 1982package, he invited me out to his home.My daughter, Carol, and I had a verypleasant visit, although Cornell was noteasy to talk to. Cornell cooked lunch forus, and served us in his yard, under atree," said Bergman. Later, Cornellwrote to say that he could not expresswhat a marvelous day it had been butwould tell Ed Bergman about it someday in heaven. Bergman wrote back tosay he appreciated the thought, butthere was no rush.Cornell always regretted havingsold a piece. Once he decided that theBergmans owned too many good ones,and would not speak to them for awhile. Bergman visited a gallery duringthis period, and the dealer said, "Ah,you're Bergman. I'm not supposed tosell you any more Cornells." (But thedealer did sell Bergman one.)The Bergmans own more than 100Cornell boxes, which undoubtedlycomprise the finest privately ownedcollection of the artist's works. Forty oftheir Cornell boxes are on loan, in anexhibit now being shown in Europeancities. The exhibit will be on display inthe Art Institute of Chicago in January.The Bergmans have a closefriendship with South American artistMarisol, (whose charming seatedwooden sculpture of Andy Warholgreets one at the end of their long hall),but generally, aside from the Cornellexperience, they do not seek out theartists whose work they buy."I think the work ought to stand byitself," said Mrs. Bergman. "We don'thave to know the artist."The Bergmans' passion for art hasled to other involvements. Bergman is atrustee and former president of theMuseum of Contemporary Art [inChicago], which he helped found, and atrustee of the Art Institute of Chicagoand the Whitney Museum in New York.It was their great interest in artwhich led the Bergmans, in 1967, tomake a generous gift to the Universityto establish the art gallery in Cobb Hallwhich bears their name.The Bergman Gallery was createdto acquaint students with a wide rangeof visual arts. The gallery is managed bythe Renaissance Society, which specializes in exhibitions of avant gardeart.The Bergmans purposely refrainfrom any involvement in the gallery."We particularly stay away from it S rvvmm \ % \ $ jh 4 Ift '%[running the gallery], not because weare not interested, but because we thinkit should be that way," said Mrs. Bergman. "We feel we should have ahands-off policy. We're very pleasedwith the Renaissance Society. It hasbeen one of the avant garde groups inthe country. If you look at the artiststhey showed years ago, they have beenway ahead of almost everybody. Andthey do a fantastic job with the gallery,with a very little bit of money."It was time for the Bergmans toleave. In an hour, Bergman would donthe maroon trimmed robe, and theblack velvet medieval styled beretwhich comprise the formal academicwear of The University of Chicago. Hewas to take part in the 382nd Convocation.As we walked down the RobieHouse stairway, Bergman once moretalked about his role as chairman of theBoard of Trustees: Sculpture of Andy Warhol is by Marisol. Notereal shoes at bottom of figure."As chairman, I hope to encouragemore of the trustees to become activelyinvolved with the Board's manycommittees."Since I've been chairman, I've hadmany people come up and say theythink the University is such a wonderful place. They'll say, T used to go there'or T graduated from the University.' Orthey will mention another connectionwith the University."Other people write to me, to tellme they love the University, and to askif there is anything they can do for it.It's very good to know that there is a lotof good will out there."Then he smiled his broad friendlysmile, and was off, to perform one morevolunteer chore, in an endless line ofthem, for the University he loves.

The grant will be used to set upThe Sherman Fairchild Fund, whichwill be allocated over the next decade.Graduate universities such as TheUniversity of Chicago traditionallyhave been an important source of scientific discoveries and inventions.Their ability to continue this activity isbecoming threatened by inflation, andby changes in patterns of governmentfunding. In addition, universities increasingly must compete with privateindustry for top scientific talent."The Sherman Fairchild Fund willbe an important source for the University," said Hanna H. Gray, president."It will be used to underwrite efforts tomaintain one of the country's most outstanding physical sciences faculties,and to attract the best available students."The Fairchild Fund also will beused for such purposes as seed moneyfor fresh research ideas, to provideequipment for laboratories, to renovateexisting laboratories for new researchendeavors, and to attract new, first-ratefaculty and research associates.The Sherman Fairchild Foundation, Inc., based in Greenwich, Connecticut, is a major contributor of support for the physical sciences at privateresearch universities. The Foundationwas created and funded by the lateSherman Fairchild, founder of FairchildCamera & Instrument Corporation, andFairchild Industries. Jonathan KleinbardKLEINBARD HEADSUNIVERSITY NEWSJonathan Kleinbard has beennamed Vice-President for UniversityNews and Community Affairs byHanna H. Gray, president. He had beenVice-President for Community Affairsand an assistant to the president.Kleinbard's new responsibilitiesinclude the Office of University Newsand Information, (public relations,publications, radio and television), andthe Office of Special Events. He willcontinue to be responsible for the Security Department, liaison with other institutions and organizations in HydePark-Kenwood, and with the city government.Kleinbard came to the Universityin 1965 as an assistant to the vice-president for Public Affairs. He servedas director of broadcasting, associateeditor of Chicago Today and assistant director of the Center for Policy Study. Heleft in 1969 to become assistant to thepresident of the Children's Foundationand associate editor of the Public Information Center, both in Washington, D.C. He returned to the University in1971 as assistant to President EdwardH. Levi."The Office of University Newsand Information is, essentially, a service to other areas of the university,"said Kleinbard. "I expect it to performin a much more aggressive way than ithas previously. We have recruited JimYuenger, a veteran journalist from TheChicago Tribune to head the office."On October 1 the Office of University News began publishing TheChicago Chronicle, a university newspaper to be issued fortnightly for thecampus, "to give accurate and comprehensive information about the university," said Kleinbard.In regard to the community, Kleinbard said;"The university must be a goodneighbor, respecting the roles andrights of other citizens of Hyde Park-Kenwood. It must continue to workcooperatively with these communities,and with the various governmentalagencies to improve the quality of lifehere."The policy guiding the university's actions in the neighborhood isdefined by those things which make itpossible for the institution to remainresidential, a university where nearlyall of the faculty, and most of the students, live within walking distance ofclasses, laboratories, and libraries."BROWNS NEW RESIDENTMASTERS AT SHORELANDBernard O.

It is a non-profit,tax exempt institution founded in 1949as the result of discussions among thepresidents of the Big Ten Universitiesand the University of Chicago. Theirconcern was the need to solve two library problems. One was the potentially endless growth in the size of library collections. The second was that,despite their increasing expendituresand acquisitions, every research librarywas falling behind in its ability to provide from its own collection all thepublications needed by its own patrons.The group reasoned that a greatmany publications, though essential forresearch, were infrequently used; theyfigured that a centrally designed facilityto house many of these publicationswould enable all members to share intheir use.Membership now includes 184 institutions, among whom 119 are themajor research libraries of the U.S. andCanada, with the remainder beingsmaller universities, colleges, and gov ernmental and private research institutions.With expanded facilities, CRL willagain be able to accept gifts of booksfrom member institutions, a practicewhich was suspended when CRL beganto run out of space.Designers of the new facility areShaw & Associates of Chicago. The newbuilding will be next to the University'sCenter for Continuing Education, onthe south side of the Midway.CRL's present building on CottageGrove Avenue will be used for "coldstorage" of "more infrequently usedbooks."ADAMS NAMEDINSTITUTE DIRECTORRobert McCormick Adams, PhB'47,AM'42, PhD'56, the Harold H.
