Vital tothat mission is the need to providescholars and students with comfortable,functional quarters in which to pursuetheir various interests. Today, many ofthe University's faculty are engaged inhighly advanced scientific researchwhich requires modern, complexfacilities and instrumentation.The planning and execution ofphysical changes at the University is acomplex process, involving manypeople, including administrators, architects, faculty, and trustees. It also requires dedicated people working together over long periods of time. Manyof the important changes you will readabout in this issue were initiated underthe guidance of our predecessors —George W. Beadle, Edward H. Levi, andJohn T. Wilson. We are the beneficiariesof their vision.The University, along with everyone else, must continually struggle withinflation, and seek new solutions toproblems of meeting space requirements of its members, maintenance of existing plant, and funding forsorely needed new facilities. One of oursolutions has been to undertake an extensive program to cut energy costs inplant operation; our own scientistshave been helpful with suggestions.Another solution coincides happilywith a deep desire on our part to preserve, both for historic and esthetic rea sons, the early buildings on campus.We have renovated the interior of several of the oldest buildings, while retaining, untouched, the original handsome facades.In fact, one suspects that if HenryIves Cobb, the University's first architect, were to visit the campus hewould be pleased at what met his eye.When Cobb submitted his plansfor the new university in 1891, he hadin mind a campus which would help"to remove the mind of the studentfrom the busy mercantile conditions ofChicago" and surround him by "apeculiar air of quiet dignity."The campus has, of course, grownsince Cobb's day. Today the Universitycampus covers 172 acres and includes111 buildings used for academic andrelated purposes. But while the physicalcampus undergoes changes, therealso is continuity in its appearance.If Cobb were to stroll about, inspite of the existence of several modernbuildings, he would observe that thecampus has, as he intended it to, a certain "air of quiet dignity."That ambience, first created byCobb, has been sustained by succeeding architects, who have striven to design buildings which, even when theydiffered radically in style from neo-Gothic, blended in well with the originals. It has been preserved, too, by therenovations of the early buildings."How has the campus changedsince I was there?"That question, or a variation of it,is frequently posed by alumni.In these pages we hope to showyou, in some measure, how the campushas changed, how it will continue tochange, and how, in spite of all thechanges, it remains the beautiful campus of your memories.Hanna Holborn GrayPresidentUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINBSpring 19!A Certain AirJuly 24, 1893"Do not on account of the scarcityof money fail to do the right thingin constructing the new buildings.We must, in some way, securesufficient funds to make it what itought to be."John D.

By opening day,October 1, 1892, administration and faculty were functioning and classes met in the firstbuilding, the not quite complete CobbHall.* The development of the campushad been underway for some time.Even before accepting the post of president of the new university, WilliamRainey Harper, then at Yale, had begunto issue his plans. These called for a division of labor, with Harper settingacademic goals, selecting faculty, andoverseeing the admission of students,while the trustees were to assemble'Cobb Hall is named for Silas Cobb, an early benefactor. material resources to support Harper'splans.John D. Rockefeller had donated$600,000 for the founding of a Baptistcollege in Chicago, provided that theAmerican Baptist Education Societyraise another $400,000 within a year.The Society appointed its financial secretary, Thomas Wakefield Goodspeed,and its corresponding secretary, Frederick T. Gates, as a committee to raisethe needed funds. It was a felicitouscombination; Gates and Goodspeedproved to be a formidable fund-raisingteam. Together, they successfully persuaded Baptist congregations inChicago to contribute to the foundingof the new college; within sixty daysthey had $200,000 subscribed. Next,they turned to Baptist congregationsoutside Chicago, and to Chicago businessmen.By December 4, 1889, seventeenChicago businessmen had agreed tomake substantial contributions for anew college; at this point, Gates andGoodspeed called on Marshall Field, theleading merchant in Chicago.The two fund-seekers wanted morethan money from Field; they wantedland. When the college was under consideration, the American Baptist Education Society had considered placing iton the site of the previous University ofChicago, which had failed financially.This institution had stood west of Cottage Grove Avenue, a little north of 35thStreet. When the Society learned that itwould cost $442,000 to purchase theland and building at the site, theylooked elsewhere. An unoccupied pieceof land was found, fronting on theMidway Plaisance between Washington and Jackson Parks. It was owned byField. The Society felt this was an idealsite, and decided to ask Field to donateten acres for their college.Gates and Goodspeed approachedUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE-Spring 1982of Quiet DignityField, who told them:"I have not yet made up my mindabout giving you that ten acres. But Ihave decided one thing. If I give it toyou, I shall wish you to make up the$400,000 independently of this donation."The two assured him that this theycould and would do. The original tractsought from Marshall Field was a narrow plot, one-and-a-half blocks wide,which lay between 55th and 58thStreets. A modification produced athree-block-long site between 56thStreet and 59th Street, extending fromEllis Avenue to a point halfway between Greenwood and University (thenLexington) Avenues. Field then proposed a further exchange of blocks, andan additional purchase to consolidatethe campus into a plot two blocks on aside, extending from 57th Street to 59thStreet between Ellis and University Avenues.For a time the American Baptist Education Society wavered over the price ofthe additional acreage, but Charles L.Hutchinson, treasurer of the board oftrustees for the new college, argued thatprevious Chicago institutions hadalways hampered their development byplanning on too small a scale initially.He urged that an adequate site be provided for the growth that was sure tocome.As Harper began to recruit his facultyfrom among the top academics aroundthe country, he found he needed moremoney to launch the university he envisioned. (In this, he and Rockefellerwere not yet quite in agreement.Rockefeller intended to found a collegewhich might grow into a university;Harper was determined to have auniversity — and the best — from thestart.) Persuaded finally by Harper,Gates and Goodspeed, Rockefelleragreed to give another million dollars. William Rainey HarperThis million, he stipulated, should beused only for endowment and currentexpenses, not for land, buildings, or repairs.On hearing of this generous gift,Field commented:"Now Chicago must put a milliondollars into the buildings of the university."Field gave $100,000 for buildings onApril 7, 1892, on condition that a million dollars be raised by the board oftrustees in sixty days. This conditionwas felt to be impossible; he was persuaded to extend it to ninety days.There followed a frenetic three months,during which many prominent Chica-goans found themselves succumbing tothe persuasive trio — Harper, Gates, andGoodspeed.The board raised the million dollars Thomas W. GoodspeedThe original site of the University of Chicago. in ninety days; it did so by turning toChicagoans; only $53 of the total camefrom donors outside the city. The fundsenabled the fledgling university to erecteight buildings, in addition to CobbHall and two dormitories then underconstruction.V^^NCE THE SITE HADbeen selected, the board chose HenryIves Cobb to be the University architect. Cobb submitted an elaboratesketch embodying his plan for the disposition of buildings on what had, bythen, become a twenty-four acre site. Itwas, in reality, a bird's eye view of theuniversity as it would appear with allthe buildings completed. It divided thesite into six quadrangles, each surrounded by buildings, with the seventh, main quadrangle in the center.Cobb's plan was Romanesque, but thetrustees, dissatisfied with this, agreedwith Cobb on a form of late EnglishGothic. The reasons for this choice werestated by Charles E. Jenkins, writing inArchitectural Record:to . . . exclude all outside conditionsfrom the student when he once entered the University grounds ... infact, to remove the mind of the student from the busy mercantile conditions of Chicago and surround himby a peculiar air of quiet dignitywhich is so noticeable in old university buildings. When the quadranglesare completed this will be verymarked, and, as this style of English Gothic architecure easily takes on anair of age by the help of a few vinesand weather stains, the effect willcertainly be most restful and suggestive of university conditions.Cobb's execution of the units of hisoverall design bears out the notion ofwalling out external influences; all ofthose building along the perpiphery ofthe central quadrangle present sheer,almost unadorned faces (and scarcelyany entrances) to the street.It is probable that Cobb's plan survived as the basic campus plan becauseit provided a means of unifying campusstructures along an orderly layout bymeans of a single, but very adaptablearchitectural style and a consistency ofbuilding materials. The specific shape,size, and use of the buildings could bevaried as needed. Even Dwight Perkins, one of the most noteworthy advocates of progressive "Prairie School" architecture, designed one of the earlyquadrangle buildings, Hitchcock Hall(now on the National Register of Historic Places), and managed to introduceelements of "Prairie School" designinto the architecture while blendingwith the adjoining neo-Gothic ofCobb's buildings.Cobb had intended to locate the library as a single huge buildingdominating the west end of the centralquadrangle — where the AdministrationBuilding stands today. However, in1902, shortly after Cobb's departure, aUniversity Library Commission recommended that the location of the library be shifted to the center of thesouth end of the quadrangles. They feltthis was a centralized location thatwould be accessible to all departments.They further recommended that buildings for some departments — the LawSchool, the Oriental group, the DivinitySchool — should have within them thedepartmental libraries, the readingrooms of which should be connected tothe reading room of the main library bya bridge or building passage. In doingso, they introduced a key architecturaland academic principle. By the end ofthe 1920s this scheme had in fact beencarried out, and the tradition of departmental offices and classrooms clustered conveniently about the libraryhad taken firm hold, so that departmental library collections havesprung up in those departments thatdid not originally adjoin the main library.The University development was notto be confined within the original fourUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE/Spnng 1982blocks. John D. Rockefeller set the University's business agents to acquiringreal estate, and by 1906 he had purchased all the frontage on both sides ofthe Midway from Cottage Grove to Dorchester Avenues, expanding the sitefrom some twenty-four acres to overone hundred acres and spending $3.2million in the process. This shifted theaxis of campus development. Even asthe development of the original fourquadrangles continued, the Universityproceeded to expand along the Midway.This trend was additionally influenced by the presence of JohnDewey, who had made the University acenter of progressive education, leadingto the construction of a pre-collegiateeducational complex, designed by JohnGamble Rogers, on the site of theformer Scammon estate on the northmargin of the Midway.AilNOTHER MASTERplan such as the Cobb plan did not appear until the 1950s. In the interveningperiod the campus developed by accretions which were often, but not always,consistent with that early plan, thoughdiffering in important details.Most prominent among the additionswas Rockefeller Chapel. Cobb's originalplan had called for it to be located in thecenter of the east end of the main quadrangle, about where the tennis courtsbetween Albert Pick Hall for International Studies and Eckhart Hall arenow. However, the effects of theRockefeller land acquisitions on theMidway were beginning to be felt, andit was decided to build the chapel onthe Midway between Woodlawn andUniversity Avenues, that it mightdominate all the university buildings.The athletic complex north of themain quadrangles was not part of ageneral plan or decision. The block thatcame to contain Stagg Field (and nowcontains Regenstein Library) had beenborrowed from Marshall Field for earlyathletic contests. After its purchase,Bartlett Gymnasium (1904), the Westand North Stands, and the Field House(1931) were erected around what hadbegun as a locker room made out of aconstruction shanty.The location of the medical schoolalso did not derive from a site plan. Afew tentative site plans for the medicalcenter had been drafted before 1923,placing it on the south side of the Mid way. The present location, however, isthe direct outcome of a concept of therole of the medical school in the University itself. The placement of the medicalcomplex adjacent to the central quadrangles was to insure the inclusion ofthe medical sciences in the University'sprograms of research and teaching.Within the medical complex itself,the plan was, as with other departments, to place maximum stress oneasy access among the various departments and between clinical and research space by housing them all ininterconnected buildings. At the sametime, it continued, on a modified scale,the quadrangle concept and the use ofthe neo-Gothic style and Indianalimestone cladding.The impact of the building of thehospitals can hardly be overestimated.It required the construction of what isnow a three-block-long physical plant;the number of university employeesskyrocketed; and the population of theuniversity, including visitors, patients,employees, and students, for whomfood, parking, and other convenienceshad to be provided, mushroomed tomore than double the number it wouldotherwise have been.By the 1920s the impetus provided byHarper's and later innovations hadforced the older midwestern colleges toupgrade their programs sharply, whichreduced enrollment by lessening thecomparative advantage of the College inrecruitment. At the same time, the demand for graduate training at the University increased, with the result thatthe graduate programs had large numbers clamoring for admittance.So far as planning is concerned, thesignificance of these developments liesin a proposal to relocate the College tothe south side of the Midway. An opposing viewpoint argued that the College, like the medical school, must bewithin and not simply af the University.The most distinguished practitioner ofcollegiate Gothic, Charles Z. Klauder ofPhiladelphia, was commissioned to doa study for a college complex south ofthe Midway. Of Klauder's elaborateplans, only the men's dormitories,Burton-Judson Courts, were built,while the women's complex was carriedas far as working drawings.The expansion of facilities from 1916to 1932 proceeded without the guidanceof an overall plan. The general continuity of the architecture is largely because most of the buildings of theperiod had the same architects, Marshall Field"Now Chicago mustput a million dollarsinto the buildings ofthe university."Marshall FieldHenry Ives CobbThe board raised themillion dollars inninety days; it didso by turning toChicagoans; only $53came from donorsoutside the city.John D.

Coolidge & Hodgdon, whose firm hadgrown out of the Chicago office ofShepley, Rutan & Coolidge, the University's architects from 1900 to 1913.The history of the University'ssteam system illustrates the consequences of proceeding with major developments without an overall plan.The first steam heating system cameinto being in 1901, replacing separateplants in the basements of variousbuildings. (Since no donor was likely tocome forward for such a structure,Rockefeller sent his own engineer tobuild it, paying for it out of his ownpocket.) Even before the original machinery was installed, the plant had tobe enlarged. Moreover, the eastern engineer had had little experience with Illinois coal as fuel, so the apparatus operated inefficiently and constantly required repairs. Finally, in 1919, thecondition of the boilers became suchthat the city of Chicago notified theUniversity that unless extensive repairswere made, the operating pressurewould have to be materially reduced.Only the chance vacancy of a suitablesite near the Illinois Central tracks madethe construction of the presentBlackstone Avenue steam plant facilitypossible, in 1929.The University's architecturalbusiness was handled by the trusteesand the treasurer's office until 1929-30,at which time it was decided to hire aUniversity architect to coordinatephysical planning. Emery Jackson wasthe first to fill the office; J. Lee Jonessucceeded him in 1947; Harold H.Hellman has been the University architect since 1970.In the eight years before the Depression, the total square footage ofcampus buildings doubled, from 1.8million to 3.7 million gross square feet.Constructed during this period weresuch major facilities as Billings Hospital, International House, RockefellerChapel, Chicago Lying-in Hosptial,Abbott Hall, and Breasted Hall.TJ-HIS GREAT BUILD-ing boom came to a sharp halt with theonset of the Great Depression. Betweenthe completion of International Housein 1932, and the beginning of construction of the Administration Building in1947, a fifteen-year period occurredwith no new construction, except thatof the Public Administration ClearingHouse (now the Charles E. Merriam Center for Public Administration), builtby the University with monies from theSpelman Fund, in 1938.However, extensive temporaryfacilities were built during World War IIat government expense, to handleshort-term needs which the University's budget could not accomodate.Post-war alumni will recall the rows offormer G.I. barracks which were usedfor the bulk of married student housingfor several years.After the war, a start on deferredconstruction was made immediately.The Administration Building (1947)brought a controversial end to theneo-Gothic tradition. For the first timethe trustees had to face the issue ofbalancing traditional design, pressurefor more contemporary design, andbudgets.The late Herbert P. Zimmerman,'01, then chairman of the board's Committee on Business Affairs, justified thedesign of the Administration Buildingin terms of its economy and utility."We finally felt that the selection ofthe same stone of which the otherbuildings on campus are constructedwould give it a texture and feeling thatwould blend in better as we franklystepped away from Gothic," he wrote.Alumni did not agree. In a letter toThe University of Chicago Magazine (December, 1946), W. A. McDermid, '07,wrote:There once hung in Dr. Harper'soffice the great dream of the campusas a unified architectural rendering.This has, in spirit of design, beenfaithfully adhered to up to now. . .. . .Then comes this shockingproposal to construct a building thatwould be entirely fitting for one of ourgreat aircraft or automobile companies ... it is to be hoped that somemeans may be developed by ourbotanists to make the ivy grow manytimes as thick, so as to conceal thisfactory building so far as possible,and as quickly as possible.Girard T. Bryant, PhB'26, concurred:Please don't let them toss that"cracker box" at the head of 58thStreet and in the center of the quadrangle! Functional? Yes. But aesthetic?NO! NO! It would mar an effectstriven for these past sixty-threeyears.Almost all of the buildings of thelate 1940s and early 1950s were in theareas where government funding wasavailable. Such funding was increasingly a key influence over campusplanning, academic and physical. Hos-L'MIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINFjSpring 1982'*'€ *"4(I*pital construction was stimulated byfederal Hill-Burton appropriations,though funds accumulated during thewar years and gifts were also a majorfactor. The construction of the ResearchInstitutes, at 5640 Ellis Avenue (whichinclude the Enrico Fermi Institute, theInstitute for Computer Research, theJames Franck Institute, and the Computation Center), was aided by theAtomic Energy Commission, althoughthe bulk of the funds required weresupplied by the University itself.aURING THE 1950sthe University was confronted by aserious neighborhood problem. It grewout of the normal decline of an olderpart of the city, but was exacerbated bythe decline in maintenance that startedwith the Depression. The realdownturn, however, occurred duringthe war years when the conversions,the makeshifts to provide housing forthe influx of war workers, and thewidespread violation of zoning ordinances combined to give sections of thecommunity, particularly the commercial areas, a distinctly seedy look.Up to the 1950s, the University'sneighborhood activity had been largelyrestricted to property purchases of lotson the fringes of campus, which couldbe used later for campus expansion,and to the acquisition of residentialbuildings which were made available tostaff, faculty, and occasionally students.As the deterioration of the area becamecritical, however, the University em barked on a program of planning anddevelopment that would embrace boththe campus and the surrounding community. It made a strong effort to encourage non-university investment andeffort. University funds were madeavailable to faculty to purchase housingin the neighborhood, at a time whenfinancial institutions did not providemortgages in blighted areas.The most important step was probably the collaboration of the University and the community, leading to theestablishment of the South EastChicago Commission as an organization wherein the community and theUniversity could work together to dealwith problems of housing deterioration. Primary financial support for thecommission was provided by the University, with the assistance of severallarge grants, among them one from theField Foundation of Illinois.The University's efforts in land andbuilding acquisition served for themost part to complement communityefforts at removal of blighted propertythrough urban renewal. This policy removed from the commercial marketproperties that were easy prey forspeculators in illegal conversions, andcalled for demolition of several blocks ofdeteriorating buildings northeast ofcampus. It also provided a land bank forhousing and athletic facilities, andapartments for much-needed marriedstudent housing.These investments not only maintained a community of scholars, but enabled the University to extend its campus by more than fifty acres.

The rejuvenation of the neighborhood acted as a spur to campus development.D.URING THE 1950-1960era, the University concentrated ondealing with the deterioration of itsown facilities. In the course of sixtyyears, the University often had beenforced to supplement permanent plantwith ugly ducklings — always describedas temporary buildings, but in realityneither temporary, nor, by the standardof the City of Chicago's Building Department, buildings. Scattered over thecampus, concealed as much as possiblebehind shrubs, these facilities lookedlike what they were — and some stillare — eyesores.In the 1950s the architectural firm ofEero Saarinen & Associates was invitedto develop a master plan for the University. Saarinen's initial visit to the campus was in 1954. At that time the University emphasized the need to interlock the campus plan with communityplanning efforts then in progress.Within the next three years, Saarinenmade four master plans, of varying degrees of ambitiousness.Writing in the Architectural Record(November, 1960), Saarinen commented to his fellow-architects:The older parts of the University of Chicago or Yale University, theformer built mostly in the 1920s, andthe latter in the 1920s and 1930s, areboth dressed in pseudo-Gothic andboth of them were sneered at by us asyoung students, for their eclecticism.Wandering in the University ofChicago today, one is amazed at thebeauty achieved by spaces surrounded by buildings all in one discipline and made out of a uniform material; where each building is beingconsiderate of the next, and eachbuilding — through its commonmaterial — is aging in the same way.. . .it is time for us to realize thatthe existing patterns, architectural aswell as administrative, by which ouruniversities are being built are not theones by which a worthwhile resultcan be achieved. Both architects anduniversity officials have to re-examinetheir ways of doing and seeing . . . Weshould stop thinking of our individual buildings. We should take the advice my father gave me, 'Always lookat the next larger thing.' When theproblem is a building, we should lookat the spaces and relationships thatthat building creates with others.When the problem is those spaces weshould look at the campus as a whole.When the problem is the campus planas a whole we should look at its relation to the city plan.Saarinen's preliminary plan wasthe most far-reaching. Crucial to thisplan was a proposal (not carried out) torelieve the Midway of traffic, and toturn it, instead, into a gigantic centralquadrangle. The plan called for diversion of traffic to an expressway runningthrough Washington Park to a trafficcircle at Cottage Grove and the Midway, thence southeast to 61st Street.Saarinen's earliest plans envisioned the concept of the quadranglesnot merely as four-sided groupings ofbuildings, but rather as self-containedblocks of structures housing peoplegathered in similar activities. Several ofthese activity clusters — the MedicalCenter, the Research Institutes, and theLaboratory Schools — were already inexistence.In other cases, Saarinen anchored agroup on an existing structure. Forexample, he proposed a managementcenter on the south side of the Midwaywith the Public Administration ServiceBuilding as the starting point, to be expanded into a complex to house theGraduate School of Business. Newclusters also were defined, most notablyone for law, comprising the Laird BellLaw School Quadrangle, and theAmerican Bar Center of today. (TheUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAG AZINE/Spring 1982Laird Bell Law School Quadrangle wascompleted in 1960; the American BarCenter in 1952.) In accordance with theUniversity's tradition of accessibility ofall departments to the library, Saarinenoriginally located the new central library structure in the area betweenSwift and Rosenwald Halls.After 1955, changing conditionsmade revisions in Saarinen's earlyplans necessary. In his later plans themost significant shift is toward greateremphasis on locating buildings onavailable sites, and on re-using existingbuildings.Out of the various aspects of Saarinen's plans, perhaps the developmentwhich had the greatest impact on thewhole pattern of campus activity washis suggestion to locate the library onthe block north of the main quadrangles.The decision to locate the library onthis block resolved the dilemma of howto accomodate such a massive facilitywithin the confines of the originalquadrangles without either destroyingthe character of the original campus orseverely hampering the functioning ofthe new library.However, this location, north ofthe previous center of gravity of campuslife, raised a series of problems andshifts in planning. Of majorsignificance to future planning were thephysical separation of the library fromthe academic units, faculty offices, andclassrooms; and the new focus of student life several blocks distant from IdaNoyes Hall and from the south campus.Saarinen was still working on variations and adjustments to his plans atthe time of his death in 1961. No singleplan was formally adopted, althoughthe preliminary plan was approved bythe trustees' Committee on CampusDevelopment as a guide for propertyacquisition and other planning requirements. The greatest part of the architect's time at the University wasspent in the design of specific buildings, notably the Law School Quadrangle, Woodward Court Student Residence Hall complex, and in guidingthe design of specific projects by otherarchitects, such as the Dallas B.Phemister Hall, 5711 South Drexel Avenue (housing for medical schoolinterns and residents), and the CharlesStewart Mott Industrial Relations Center (now the Human Resources Center),1223 East 60th Street.The 1960s were a period of intensive campus planning development. Saarinen's master plan served as aguide. Two major components were involved in planning, at this time. Thefirst was the development of detailedacademic goals, involving extensiveadditions to physical facilities. Theother was the development of a formalplanning process, to translate thesegoals into physical reality.The new goals were assembled intoan interrelated package, the Campaignfor Chicago. To generate a large initialcontribution which would set the pacefor the Campaign, a proposal was madeto the Ford Foundation for a $25 millionchallenge grant.With regard to facilities the Fordproposal contained the following features:1. Two long-needed new graduateresearch libraries (one for the sciencesand one for the humanities and socialsciences) were to be built to relieve theoutgrown Harper Library, which was tobe made into a college library facility.2. Remodeled space on the mainquadrangles would be provided for theCollege, with Cobb Hall to be the firstremodeled facility. This had become amust, because the city Building Department was threatening to close CobbHall down.3. Within the Humanities Division, physical space was not a pressingproblem, except for the Music Department and the Oriental Institute. In thePhysical Sciences Division, however,all departments were in quest of modernized teaching and research space. Bythe time the Ford Foundation proposalwas made, it had already been decidedto concentrate the new sciencesfacilities in a science center to be located west of Ellis Avenue on the blocknorth of Billings Hospital.4. Among the professional schools,only the Graduate School of Businesshad pressing space needs, and it wasalready proposed to solve these by renovating Rosenwald Hall for the schoolafter the geophysicists moved into newquarters. The Graduate Library Schoolwas to be housed in the projectedgraduate library for the humanities andsocial sciences.At the opening of the Campaign forChicago in 1965 the University announced that the Ford Foundation hadagreed to extend a $25 million challengegrant.From 1964 to 1973 the university engaged the services of I. W. Colbum as aconsulting architect. Other architectswere engaged to make studies of "Wandering in theUniversity of Chicagotoday, one is amazedat the beauty achievedby spaces surroundedby buildings allin one discipline."Eero SaarinenIn the late 1970s theUniversity made amajor shift in emphasis in its planningand began to giverenovation of existingbuildings priorityover building newones. specific areas; Perkins & Will did astudy of the School of Education complex in 1963, and Skidmore, Owings &Merrill did a study of the projected Science Center in 1967.All of these efforts were aimed atresolving specific or ad hoc problems.With the increased building activitymade possible by the Campaign forChicago, and the general expansion ofhigher education which was takingplace in the 1960s, the need to coordinate new physical development oncampus and to assure continuity ofplanning design increased. To meetthese needs at staff level, the Office ofPhysical Planning and Constructionwas established. This new office became responsible for some of the construction functions previously carriedon by the University Architect's Office,the Buildings and Grounds Department, and the Real Estate Office. Ultimately, the Office of Physical Planningbegan to coordinate development ideasamong administration and faculty, andto deal with such matters as spaceallocation, zoning, and design.T_1_HE RENOVATION OFspace for the College in Cobb Hall, andin Harper Library and adjoiningbuildings, starting with Cobb in 1964,foreshadowed what was to become themajor theme in the University's physical development in the 1970s and1980s — large-scale renovation.In the case of Cobb Hall, the University's oldest building, the interiorwas completely gutted, while the exterior walls and the foundation weresaved, and the entire building was recast. Cobb was given a modern structural framework, a new stair tower, andan additional floor, so that besidesclassrooms, the building now containsthe Quantrell Auditorium, the BergmanGallery, and the Howard Willett Student Lounge.In contrast to the College and professional schools, the sciences were urgently in need of new space, particularly up-to-date research laboratories.Several new buildings were constructedduring the 1960s and 1970s, includingthe Searle Chemistry Laboratory, theCummings Life Science Center (microbiology and biophysics), the HenryHinds Geophysical Laboratories, theHigh-Energy Physics Laboratories, andthe College Laboratories.All of these were clustered to the west of the central quadrangles (exceptfor the Searle Chemistry Laboratory,which is just north of 58th street).Eventually, a new Sciences Quadranglewill be formed.One of the special studies done atthis time was architect Edward Lar-rabee Barnes' plan for the Arts Centerand Student Village. Barnes suggestedconstruction of a new north quadrangle(to be placed north of Regenstein Library) which was to include a total,virtually self-contained living environment, with a modern residence complexwhich would house 900 students. Theplan also called for facilities for art,music, drama, and athletic activities.The complete plan was not adopted, buteventually the Cochrane-Woods ArtCenter, the David and Alfred SmartGallery, and the Court Theatre werebuilt, at the northwest end of campus,to form an arts-theatre complex.Even while the last of the projectsfunded in the first phase of the Campaign for Chicago were being completed, the second phase was launched.Although the emphasis in this phasewas on programs and endowment, construction was assigned a third of the$250 million campaign goal.In the late 1970s the Universitymade a major shift in emphasis in itsplanning and began to give renovationof existing buildings priority overbuilding new ones.This policy reflected the desire onthe part of the University to retain acertain character to the campus, according to Jonathan Fanton, vice-president for Planning. Along with adeep interest in historic preservation,there also were economic factors to beconsidered. It is less expensive, in mostcases, to renovate an existing buildingthan to construct a new one. In addition, there was a concern not to addmore energy-consuming units to thecampus facilities.A N 1977, THE UNIVERSITYborrowed $35 million through the Illinois Tax Exempt Program at a 5.4 percent interest rate, to be used for majorrenovations.One example of the use of thesefunds was the renovation of the Shore-land Hotel, to provide additional student housing. Because of the ebb of thepost-war baby boom and elimination ofthe military draft, by the 1970s the student population had lessenedUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE/Spring 1982significantly. But the available housingfor students had decreased, for severalreasons. Among these was conversionof rental apartments to condominiums.In addition, upgrading of rental units inthe community had caused rents to rise;one result was that some rents nowwere higher than university charges forliving in its own housing. The University, meanwhile, had stepped into theHyde Park real estate market to purchase several properties that were notreceiving adequate care and management, and were causing concern amongneighbors in the community. One ofthe properties selected was the Shore-land Hotel. Renovation of the Shore-land was done at a total cost of $6.4million or about $10,000 per student.(Shoreland Hall provides housing for600 students.) New construction wouldhave cost $30,000 and more per student,judging by other universities' experiences.(For an illustrated guide to majorrenovation projects carried out since themid-1970s, see Page 17.)In addition to shifting emphasis torenovations, the University at thispoint began to include maintenanceand operating costs into project endowment funds. (The custom had beento raise funds to carry out a project, andto include maintenance and operatingcosts in current expenses.) While thisapproach has the disadvantage of increasing the sums to be raised and thusslowing new development, it washoped that such an approach wouldpreclude future drains on the operatingbudget of the University.At the end of the 1960s, in responseto environmental concerns, the University carried out a conversion of the fuelsystem at the Blackstone Avenue steamplant from coal to natural gas. With theenergy crises of the 1970s, energy conservation became an important fiscalconcern. A whole new set of buildingand renovation design criteria were developed, involving insulation, windowdesign, and a new approach to controlling heating, ventilation and airconditioning equipment.During 1979-80, Sasaki Associates,architectural and landscape planners ofWatertown, MA, were engaged by theUniversity to carry out a major campusplanning study. The firm analyzedpedestrian circulation and open spaceneeds; prepared a plan for the sciencequadrangle and for physical sciencesfacilities; and developed a set ofguidelines for short-term and long-term physical planning of the campus as awhole. One of their important assignments was the development of a concept for the integration of the southcampus with the main campus. TheSasaki study is designed to furnishflexible guidelines for the physical development of the campus for the nextdecade or more.When the John Crerar Science Library is completed in 1984, it will anchor a new science quadrangle; this willbe the University's ninth quadrangle.The original campus contained sevenquadrangles; the Laird Bell Law Quadrangle on the south side of the Midwayis the eighth. The science quadranglewill be bounded by Ellis Avenue on theeast, Drexel Avenue on the west, 56thStreet on the north, and 57th Street onthe south. The interior of the quadrangle will be landscaped, as all of theother quads are.A new physics teaching center is inthe planning stage; it will be erected onthe southwest corner of 57th Street andEllis Avenue.Several more renovations areunderway or planned. Renovation ofthe Zoology Building is in process. KentHall, one of the oldest buildings oncampus, will be renovated for modernchemistry teaching laboratories. Theneed for facilities for teaching inphysics and chemistry have existed forat least twenty years, President HannaH. Gray told an alumni audience recently. Undergraduates, she pointedout, have always worked with thesenior faculty on their research projects.Ida Noyes Hall, which housesmany student activities, will undergo amajor renovationin the near future,when adequate fundshave been raised.Plans call for the construction of a cinema,a coffee shop, andupdated facilities forother activities.As the campusgrows, all of those involved in the planningprocess will strive tomaintain its sense ofunity. They will havebefore them the highstandards of comfortable practicality,beauty, and "quietdignity" which HenryIves Cobb set so longago. 8 This report is based, in part, onan article entitled "A Review ofPlanning at the University ofChicago, 1891-1978," which appeared in The University of ChicagoRecord, Vol. XII, No. 4, April 28,1978.

(No. 67)Architects: Skidmore, Owings& Merrill.The Joseph Regenstein Libraryis a graduate research libraryin the social sciences andhumanities. It is one of thelargest academic librarybuildings in the country, andthe largest building evererected on campus.The library is located onNote: the numbers after buildings referto position on the campus map. the site of the old Stagg Field.It has seven service floors andcontains 584,886 gross squarefeet. The first and second floorsare each approximately twoacres in area.The interior of Regensteinis highly functional in design.Each of the major service floorsis divided into four elements.To the west are the bookstacks.To the east are faculty studiesand reading areas. Betweenthe stacks and reading areasare service centers and thevertical communication core ofelevators, stairways, bookconveyor, and pneumatictubes. Extending north of theservice areas are the offices ofvarious reference librariansand bibliographers.Regenstein has a total of2,897 study and lounge seats.The library has been designedto permit all authorized usersto move freely throughout thebuilding, including the bookstacks.The Regenstein Libraryhas a total volume capacity of3,525,000 books (3,300,000 in book stacks; 225,000 in thereading rooms). It now housesover three million volumes inthe social sciences, humanities, theology, and some sciences. The total number ofvolumes in the University library system is now over fourmillion.Regenstein Library,named for Chicago industrialist Joseph Regenstein (1889-1957), also houses the University's Graduate Library School.The placement of Regenstein Library at the northend of campus has caused important shifts in traffic patterns, according to Calvert W.Audrain, director of PhysicalPlanning and Construction.Regenstein Library has madethe north side of 57th Street"the center of gravity" for thecampus, in terms of concentration of people, and inparking and traffic patterns.

The flagmarks the new permanenthome of Court Theatre, theprofessional acting companywhich the University helpssupport, and when the flag issnapping in the breeze, it indicates that a production is onthe boards.The technically sophisticated, 250-seat theatre is thelatest addition to the University's growing arts complex atthe north end of campus.Last year, the CourtTheatre's first season as a full Equity company, the actorsworked in a makeshift, 124-seat theatre in a convertedReynolds Club Lounge.For the past twenty-eightyears Court Theatre has presented summer productionsoutside, in Hutchinson Court.These performances have become very popular withChicago theatre audiences.In the new theatre threebanks of seats, upholstered inred, wrap around the front ofthe stage. The wooden thrustof the forestage has been designed so that it can beshortened, altered, or eliminated altogether for conventional proscenium staging.The auditorium is namedfor Hope Abelson and the lateLester S.

In the late 1960s thedepartment had been movedfrom an old house intoLexington Hall, then the oldesttemporary building on campus. (It has since been torndown.)Lexington Hall had beenbuilt in 1904 as a temporarystructure to serve dining andrecreational needs of womenstudents.In 1976, the departmentchairman had written to thedean of the Humanities Division:"We did keep cats, that didhelp keep the rat populationdown. It was a shame thatpiano legs kept falling throughthe floor, but we tried to do our best by rebuilding variousparts of them and never moving the pianos."In the mid 1960s, when theUniversity was making plansfor a major addition to campusthat was to include an artscomplex, a new building forthe Music Department wasconsidered. But escalatingcosts caused a change in plans,and eventually it was proposedto renovate Goodspeed Halland part of the adjoining Classics Building, for the MusicDepartment.Goodspeed Hall originallywas designed as a residencehall for Divinity School students. In 1937 the buildingunderwent a major renovationto convert it for use as anacademic building withoffices, classrooms, and a library. Until 1973 it housed theArt Department of theHumanities Division.Renovation of Goodspeedand Classics was carried out intwo stages. The first stage, in1979, was the remodeling ofpart of the third floor of Classics Hall to accomodate theLinguistics Department (thenresident in Goodspeed), andrelocation of the RenaissanceSociety to Cobb Hall. The second stage was the completerenovation of Goodspeed and the former Classics readingroom.The first floor of GoodspeedHall now contains nine practice rooms for unscheduled useby faculty and students. Thesecond floor contains classrooms, and specially designedfaculty studio-office spaces.The third floor houses the administrative offices of theMusic Department.The fourth floor of Good-speed was equipped withlounge and restrooms andinterconnected with Classics.A stunning recital /rehearsalhall, seating 140, was createdin the former Classics readingroom. Enhancing its beauty isthe ornate wood truss ceiling,which was retained.The double-hung windowsin Goodspeed Hall were replaced with new insulatingglass windows, for both energy conservation and acoustical purposes.Since plans for renovation ofMandel Hall were being madeat the same time as those forGoodspeed/Classics, the architects, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, and the acoustical consultant, R. Lawrence Kir-kegaard & Associates, wereable to make modifications indistributing rehearsal and concert related functions betweenthe two projects.On December 10, 1980,twenty-one students expressedtheir feelings about the newfacilities in a letter:Dear President Gray and Members of the Board of Trustees:As students in the MusicDepartment we wish to expressour gratitude to you for making itpossible for the Department tohave new and improved quartersin Goodspeed Hall. The entireDepartment has already enthusiastically put to use the fullyequipped classrooms, the largerpractice rooms, the studentlounge, and the particularlymagnificent recital hall. In thesedays of budgetary problems and ageneral decrease in financialsupport available for theHumanities, we are especiallythankful for the confidence in,and support of, all aspects of ourwork-faculty, staff, andstudent-that Goodspeed Hallrepresents.Sincerely yours . . .(U New ivalls in Mandel Hallwere stencilled, using theoriginal pattern.

(No. 54)Architects: 1903, Shepley,Rutan & Coolidge; 1981,Skidmore, Owings & MerrillA new musical "star" appeared on campus in 1981. Anewly renovated Mandel Hall,which for seventy-nine yearshas played a major role in thecultural life of the Universityand the city of Chicago, wasreopened, and both performers and audiences have ravedabout its improved stage capacity and acoustics.They also have relishedthe restoration of the hall's interior facade to much of itsoriginal, rich, Victorian erapallette.Renovation of MandelHall was made possible, inpart, by a grant of $2 millionfrom the Joseph and Helen Regenstein Foundation.Mandel Hall originallyopened in 1903, as part of whatwas known as the Tower groupof buildings, which includedMitchell Tower, HutchinsonCommons, and the ReynoldsClubhouse. Mandel Hall's use by theChicago Symphony Orchestragoes back to 1904, when Theodore Thomas led a performance there. From 1909 throughthe 1920s, the Chicago Symphony presented several concerts a year in the hall. In recent years, Sir George Solti hasled the Chicago Symphony inconcerts at Mandel.Leading artists fromaround the world, includingthe Juilliard Quartet and theGuarneri Quartet, have performed at Mandel Hall.Mandel Hall is, of course,used by many student groups.It is managed by the Office ofStudent Activities.The newly renovatedMandel Hall has a new, enlarged, and more appropriatelyshaped music platform at theaudience side of the proscenium arch. The new stagehas three sections; when allthree are in place (the two frontsections are on hydraulic lifts),they form a stage measuringthirty-six feet deep by fifty-fivefeet wide. An orchestra of 100can be seated there comfortably. For smaller ensembles, ortheatre, the two front sectionsof the stage can be lowered tofloor level, and more seating is available for the audience(The first several rows of seatsare removable.) The section ofstage nearest the prosceniumcan be further lowered to pitlevel to accomodate up totwenty-four musicians, foropera or musicals.Mandel Hall originallyseated an audience of 1,061now seats 985 or 871, depending on whether the stage liftsare in use.The new stage is separatedfrom the stage house at theback of the proscenium arch bya system of hard-surfacedmovable panels. This allowsmusic rehearsal or performance to take place without thenecessity for striking or resetting sets, but with isolationof the absorbent stage housefrom the music environmentTo aid performers to hearone another, an array of overhead sound reflectors were installed above the performanceconcert platform. The reflectivecanopy also will serve to improve balance of woodwindsand brass in relation to stringsfor those in the audienceseated in front of the house(L.)

New window glasswas installed with sufficientthickness to reflect mid andlow frequency sound energy.(This does not obscure thebeauty of the window nearestthe stage on the left side,which was made by Tiffany,in stained glass, for theClass of 1902.)The thin, flat plaster wallsurfaces below the balconieswere made heavier to avoidlow frequency absorption.They also were replastered sothat they have an undulatingpattern, to diffuse sound reflections, and to eliminate thestrident high frequency reflections which can occur withopposing flat parallel surfaces.Sight lines and hearing inthe hall have been improvedon the main floor by movingside aisles to the outside wallsand relocating side seats to thecenter.In the balcony, projection,sound, and light facilities were relocated, which permittedreinstallation of sixty-six seatsin the center, with excellentsight lines. Balcony boxeswhich were close to the proscenium have been removed,to provide adequate performance areas for large ensembles.Contemporary theatrelighting has been installed atthe sides of the prosceniumand the ceiling for theatrelighting and to give musiciansproper lighting.Architects enclosed theopen space between MandelHall and its next-door neighbor, Eckhart Hall, to provideloading capabilities, generalback stage work space, andstorage. (There's even a closetfor a grand piano.)Facilities below stage wereredeveloped for more adequatedressing space for performers.The interior of the hall waspainted and stencilled, following the original palletteand techniques.(L.)

In addition, space wasrenovated for the College andthe Humanities Division inadjoining Wieboldt Hall, andthe third floor of Stuart Hall(Business East).Harper Library previouslyhad housed the University'smain book collections. WhenRegenstein Library opened in1970, it was decided to re novate Harper to provide acenter for the College.Generations of alumni willrecall the old card catalog roomon the first floor of Harper as aplace where they spent a gooddeal of time. This has been renovated, and now contains aseventy-five seat lecture room.Even more strikingchanges have been wroughton the second floor, whichused to contain a large workspace. Now there are veryhandsome quarters for thedean of the College; twelve advisors' offices; two collegiatedivision offices; conferencerooms; storage rooms; andstaff lounge.Renovators took great careto preseve the original decor.New doors were made of oak,equipped with brass hardware, and stained to matchthe original woodwork.When new seminar roomswere built which cut off lightfrom the interior corridor,Akos Kiss, superintendent ofthe Physical Plant Department,recalled that there were old windows in storage. Thesewere installed on the interiorwall of the rooms; both therooms and the corridor benefitfrom added light, and thearched windows fit right in.Kiss also produced somehandsome, massive brass andglass lamps, which now adornstairwells in Harper.The College Library, containing 60,000 volumes ofbooks in a general collection(as opposed to the more highlyspecialized collections in Regenstein Library), is nowhoused in two large readingWieboldt Hall. rooms, the former Harper Library reading room and theformer Law Library readingroom, in Stuart Hall (nowcalled the North ReadingRoom).

Many alumniwill recall the days when the Shoreland Hotel at 55th Streetand South Shore Drive was theplace on Chicago's south sidefor formal parties, wedding receptions, and dinner dancingto the strains of a ballroomdance band. Today the Shore-land moves to a differenttempo, the beat of rock andpop streaming from stereosystems throughout thebuilding. Re-named ShorelandHall, the former hotel is nowthe University's largest residence hall. When it was built in 1926the Shoreland was the city'sthird largest hotel. During the1950s and 1960s the use of theShoreland shifted to an apartment hotel, and as operatingcosts rose maintenance diminished. The University purchased the building in 1974,and after an extensive, three-year renovation, reopened it asShoreland Hall. In its new capacity it has rooms for 575 students.The project includedmajor repairs throughout thebuilding — the plumbing andheating systems, and all windows were replaced — and renovation of the first and secondfloors where a variety of common rooms for student ac-UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO M ACAZINE/Spring 1982(Opposite, top) Shoreland Hall.(Opposite, bottom) WoodwardCourt.

(No. 21)Architects: 1932, Holabird &Root; 1980, Holabird & Root.The newly renovated HenryCrown Field House is averaging 1,700 users a day on weekdays, according to Charles D.O'Connell, vice-president anddean of students in the University. When the Universityfirst decided to renovate thefacility, it was expected thatabout 500 people a day woulduse it.Long known simply as theField House, the University'smulti-purpose athletic facilityacquired a new name in 1978,after undergoing the first partof extensive renovations whichmore than doubled its space.It was named for HenryCrown, who, together with hisbrothers, Sol R., Herman andIrving, in 1919 founded abuilding materials supplycompany which eventually became Material Service Corporation, one of the world'slargest suppliers of buildingmaterials. Major gifts from theCrown family, along with amulti-million dollar gift from atrustee who chose to remainanonymous, and a large grantfrom the Kresge Foundation,enabled the University to renovate the facility. Today, theHenry Crown Field House is astunning athletic facility, andjudging from the intensity ofits use, its various publicsthink so, too.The Crown Field Housewas built in 1932 as the last ofthree athletic facilities at theUniversity. (Bartlett Gym,traditionally the men's gymnasium, was built in 1902, and Ida Noyes Hall, housing thesmaller women's gymnasium,was built in 1916.)The original Field Housecontained a clay/sand trackfloor for tennis or athleticpractice, a wooden basketballcourt and bleachers (both removable), and a basementlocker room.The building is 366 feetlong and 169 feet wide, and theheight from the floor to thetrusses at the center of theceiling (before the renovation)was eighty feet. Amos AlonzoStagg used to hold footballpractice inside.The clay/sand floor made a 1 ~®-\ IrCrcsTOrJiilSultSri C-.xco1 cntiaj totur m^1^5»"';Stiit/kflvery quick track, and quite afew records stayed on it for avery long time, according toDaniel Tepke, associate professor and assistant chairmanof the Department of PhysicalEducation and Athletics whomanages the Crown FieldHouse. Because of the clay-sand floor, however, the facility was difficult to maintain;the floor had to be wateredevery day, to keep down thedust. If it wasn't wateredflying sand became a problem.Nonetheless, the FieldHouse had heavy use. In addition to being used for basketball and track by the University the building was for manyyears the indoor practice roomfor the Chicago White Sox. Italso is the home of the world-30(Above) The new wrestling room.(R.) The old Field House, showingclaylsand floor in rear, movablecourt in front.

Proturf, a polyure-thane surface, covers the trackand basketball court.On the first floor areathere are eleven courts — sevenfor raquetball, two for squash,and two multi-purpose ones.Racquetball is so popular thatthe administration was forcedto convert two additionalcourts to multi-purpose ones.In addition, Tepke noted, hemust keep an extremely complicated reservation system tokeep up with the demand foruse by racquetball players.(Note: Alumni may useCrown Field House.

Actually, it's a verygood lesson in how a university re-cycles old buildings.To students from the early1930s to the late 1950s, GSBmeant Haskell Hall (No. 36).(Actually, GSB was alatecomer. Originally, it wasthe Haskell Oriental Museum;when the Oriental Institute(No. 61) opened in 1932, Haskell became home for theSchool of Commerce andAmimstration, which then of fered both undergraduate andgraduate studies. The businessschool became wholly agraduate school in the 1950s.)In 1960, when the newLaird Bell Law Quadrangle(No. 7) was built on the southside of the Midway, GSB tookover Stuart Hall (No. 84),which became known as Business East. Stuart had beenknown simply as the LawBuilding.Stuart Hall's next -doorneighbor is Rosenwald Hall,built in 1915 to house the Departments of Geology and Geography. When the HenryHinds Laboratory forGeophysical Sciences (No. 39)opened in 1961, the GeologyDepartment moved there.Shortly after, the GeographyDepartment moved into the new Albert Pick Hall for International Studies (No. 65). GSBneeded more space, and expanded into the next building.In 1972 GSB opened newheadquarters in an extensivelyremodelled Rosenwald Hall.GSB kept on growing. In1961 it had 651 campus students; in 1975 it had 825, andprojections at the time were for1,020 students in 1981. (Today,there are 1,040 students in theGSB campus programs.) GSBlooked about for ways to housemore faculty to meet the needsof this growing student body.In 1976, GSB proposed tothe University that the Department of Anthropology,then housed in WalkerMuseum (No. 87), and GSBswap buildings — Haskell Hallfor Walker Museum.

The eighteen-month project was themost extensive renovation oncampus since the Universitygutted and rebuilt Cobb Hallin the late 1960s.In all of these renovationsthe neo-Gothic exteriors wereleft untouched, with three exceptions: A bridge was built toconnect Rosenwald withStuart; a parapet was added tothe roof of the tower betweenWalker and Rosenwald, toconceal some very non-Medieval air-conditioningequipment; a new south entrance was placed in the baseof the tower, at the connectionbetween Rosenwald andWalker. Inside, a passagewaywas opened between Stuartand Harper, so that the old Law Library could be used bythe College.During renovation morethan 4,000 square feet of spacewere added to Walker by replacing the top story with twonew floors and extending themezzanine the length of thebuilding. The main stairwaywas rebuilt, new floors laid,and more energy-efficientwindows installed.

WEINSTEINBURTON-JUDSON'S\THTHEBy Beverly J. Splane, AB'67,The National Alumni Cabinet met on campus on October 16-17. At that meeting, I spoketo the cabinet about the first year of my presidency. An abridgement of those remarks is presented here as a State of the Alumni Associationmessage. My thanks to Peter Kountz for his assistance.I am honored to present to you myfirst report as president of the National Alumni Cabinet. In thisrole, I have tried to increase the linkbetween alumni and the educationallife of the University, while at the sametime reinforcing the "fun" life. PerhapsI should let Robert MaynardHutchins explain what I mean. Speaking to a group of alumni forty years agohe said:We do not admit that the University isdeficient in those conventional extra-curriculum activities which go by thename of college life. We assert thatChicago has all these and somethingmore, something which no other university has in equal degree: an atmosphere of intense, strenuous, andconstant intellectual activity. Otherinstitutions offer college life; Chicagooffers college life, and an educationtoo.*Our role as alumni leaders is tobring together the joys of "college life,"which Hutchins speaks about, with theintense and still rigorous Chicagoacademic life so that the two can enhance one another. We cabinet members have the responsibility for makingthis happen. It is each of us who willhelp sustain the interest of our fellowalumni in the activities of the localclubs; it is each of us who help generatenew and greater interest in the University on the part of our fellow alumni;and it is each of us who will representthe University of Chicago so that itspresence in communities around thenation will be clarified and intensified.At yesterday morning's session, 1 presented a summary of the 1981-82"Office of University Alumni Affairs"operating plan. It reveals more clearly*"Owls to Athens," 92741. 50th anniversaryalumni assembly held in conjunction withthe University's 50th anniversary celebration. NTS PAGEBA'69 President, The Alumnithan anything I can say here how prodigious have been our efforts — staff andvolunteers — to bring more of the University to the alumni community andthereby increase alumni ties to whatHutchins called the "exciting commonenterprise which is a Chicago education."This is the first year the executivecommittee of the Alumni Cabinet hasincluded members from cities otherthan Chicago. Although this hasSara Richmati Harris, AB'41, president of the University of Chicago Club of the Capital District.Albany, NY.strengthened the committee, it has alsoincreased the difficulty of meeting.Nonetheless, this seems to me an innovation worth continuing. A recentmeeting of the executive committee, forinstance, focused on a discussion abouthow members of the committee coulddevelop closer and more frequent contacts with the clubs. It is our intentionto assign members of the executivecommittee specific regions of the country, to ask that they keep in regularcontact with the club presidents withinthe region, to report to the club presidents the activities of the executivecommittee and to report to the executive committee at regular intervals theactivities of the clubs.There is one accomplishment of thepast year which many of you may knowabout but which, nonetheless, deservesspecial mention. That is the chartering Associationof the University of Chicago Club ofMetropolitan Chicago. With the hardwork and commitment of severalChicago-area alumni and the staff at theUniversity, the University has begun tostrengthen its presence in the Chicagocommunity where it has historicallybeen weak, despite 26,000 alumni in thearea.We remain committed to reachingyounger alumni, and to a large degreethis means reaching them while theyare students. The "Life after Graduation" brown bag series is a popular enterprise, complementing the work ofthe Office of Career Counseling andPlacement. For example, during thisacademic quarter two discussions arescheduled. The nicely balanced program includes "Religion as Work" and"Advertising as Vocation," and eachshould attract about fifty students.The executive committee also continues to ponder ways in which we canattract more younger alumni to AlumniAssociation activities, especially toAlumni Schools Committee work, andto attendance at programs. Thus far, wehave not found any magic means,though some cities are trying cocktailreceptions, and programs to which onlyyounger alumni are invited. Such programs are having some success, but weare aware that many younger alumnistill have ambivalent feelings abouttheir experiences at the University, andwe may find that some period of decompression is vital before recentgraduates will become active as alumni.Finally, I want to affirm the debt weowe to the Schultz Commission onAlumni Affairs. I sense a renaissancethis year — or perhaps it might be moreaccurate to say an original birth — of afeeling of harmony and common interest between the University and itsalumni. The Schultz Commission deserves much of the credit in providingthe impetus and pointing the direction.Our task is to continue this work,and to continue building a strong andvital university community, one whichwill bring honor to the University andto itself. I look forward to our work together in the coming year. Thank you.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE/Spring 1982ALUMNI NEWSAlumni Give $2.5 Million, Up Fifteen PercentTheodore Hurwitz, assistant vice-president for Development, talkedabout the Economic Recovery Tax Act of1981 and the implications it has forUniversity fund-raising. "The tax incentives may not be as great [to donatefunds to the University]; we may haveto work a little harder," he said, but hewas confident that it would not adversely affect alumni giving.After the Friday morning session,the board members joined the membersof the National Alumni Cabinet forlunch in Ida Noyes Theater. Hanna H.Gray, president of the University,spoke to the group, acquainting themwith the current state of the University.Following lunch, the Alumni FundBoard and the Alumni Cabinet attendeda panel discussion by University administrators in Swift Lecture Hall.On Friday evening, Alumni FundBoard members gathered for dinner atMidway Studios. Several volunteerswere cited for their outstanding serviceto the Alumni Fund; they were eachawarded a framed Alumni Reunionposter in recognition of their commitment to the University.On Saturday the board membersmet once more in Ida Noyes Hall, for amorning of workshops and informational meetings. Volunteers metto discuss fund-raising procedures,local Alumni Fund organization, estateand gift tax questions, and other legalmatters.When the meetings were over, theAlumni Fund Board volunteers joinedthe Alumni Cabinet for a tour of thenew Court Theatre Building. SMembers of the NationalAlumni Fund Board heardthe good news at theirannual meeting on October 16-17:alumni gave over $2,575,000 in unrestricted funds this year, a fifteen percent increase over last year's total of$2,185,000. At last year's meeting, theboard had set a goal of $2.5 million forthis year.Jon Keates, director of the AnnualFund, reported that particularly impressive gains were made in such areasas corporate matching gifts (up 33%),the President's Fund (this includes giftsover $1,000— up 16.5%), and the Parents Fund, which in only three yearshas become a major source of funds.However, as Emmet Dedmon,AB'39, chairman of the Alumni Fund,pointed out, despite the addition of2,400 first-time donors to the fund and anet increase of 4,000 in the total donorpool, the number of donors only increased 2.4%, from 16,444 to 16,834.Dedmon stressed donor retention as thetheme for this year's campaign.Prior to the conference, the AlumniFund Steering Committee established aseries of goals for this year's campaign.Alumni Fund volunteers hope to increase the number of donors by 7%,bringing it to 18,000. The dollar goal forthe 1982-83 Annual Fund drive is$2,900,000.William Haden, vice-president forDevelopment, gave a report on the roleof the Alumni Fund in the overall University budget. He noted that theAlumni Fund has made up an increasingly important part of the University's total unrestricted cash income: Emmet Dedmon, AB'39last year it accounted for 53% of unrestricted funds, while this year'sAlumni Fund made up 60% of the total.Bradley Patterson, AB'42, AM'43,who with his wife, Shirley DoBos Patterson, SB'43, co-chairs the ParentsFund, spoke to the group about the success of this recently initiated fund-raising committee. Parents of enrolledstudents contributed nearly $47,000 (including a $25,000 challenge match) inunrestricted funds this year, as compared to only $8,000 last year. Their goalfor 1982-83 is $70,000.B. Kenneth West, MBA' 60, nationalchairman of the President's Fund, informed the board that the President'sFund has had a 90% renewal rate, with22% of the donors substantially increasing the amount of their gift.Christopher W. Wilson, chairman ofthe President's Fund Leadership Committee (gifts of $5,000 or more) announced that gifts over $5,000 have become more important as source offunds: two years ago they made up 38%of the President's Fund, while this yearthey made up more than half.Alumni Cabinet MeetsAs workmen busied themselvesreplacing the rust-eaten beamsover the front porch, membersof the National Alumni AssociationCabinet met last October 16-17 insideFrank Lloyd Wright's landmark RobieHouse, home of the University of Chicago Office of Alumni Affairs. It wasthe first full meeting of the cabinetunder the revised constitution andby-laws of the Alumni Association.Those revisions were initiated atthe 1980 meeting of the national cabinetand completed by the cabinet's execu-tive committee over the past year. Thecabinet based its restructuring on thesuggestions of the Ad Hoc Commissionon Alumni Affairs (The Schultz Commission). A good part of this year'smeeting was dedicated to examining theeffectiveness of the reorganization.Their findings were, for the most part,to the good.Under the new constitution, themembership of the national cabinetconsists of: the officers and executivecommittee; the presidents of each localUniversity of Chicago Club nationwide, as well as the presidents of eachnational and local University professional school alumni organization;the members of the national board ofthe Alumni Schools Committee and ofthe Alumni Fund Board executivesteering committee; and twenty-sevenat-large members, for a total membership of ninety-two. Like last year'smeeting, this year's was held concurrently with the annual meeting ofthe National Alumni Fund Board.In her address to the cabinet, Beverly J. Splane, AB'67, MBA'69, president of the Alumni Association, notedthe successes and the work that remainsto be done under the revised constitution. She emphasized the trend towardsprogramming activities as a means ofincreasing alumni participation, andtoward developing closer links betweenthe University and its alumni."This is the first full year that wehave had a program designedspecifically for people who are involvedin alumni affairs at the local level,"Splane said.Splane described developments inlocal club formation. It was in this areathat the Alumni Association, at theSchultz Commission's recommendation, focused much of its energies in thepast year.In 1980, according to Splane, the University had only twelve active clubs,which covered 21,000, or twenty-fivepercent of the total number of University alumni. During 1980-81, eight newlocal clubs were organized.
