They were roommates (see"Roomies," SPRING/88). Julie hasnegotiated the maze of Universityforms and ledgers with such ease that"Ask Julie" has become the advice offirst and last resort.It's been particularly nice to gettheir (somewhat censored) accounts ofstudent life. Reports on official and unofficial student parties. Who was withwhom at Jimmy's. Which Universityprofessors are as nice as their vitae areimpressive. Our Family Album: Lisel Virkler and JulieSchmid, bothAB'90.Although College students constantly look ahead to graduation, mostdon't think about the fact that graduation turns them into U of C alumni.Working for the Magazine has made Liseland Julie well aware of that inevitabletransformation— and they don't seemto mind.This summer, diplomas and resumes in hand, they're both looking forsomewhat more permanent employment. As you might imagine, the restof the Magazine staff is happy to provide them with the most glowing ofreferences.— M.R.Y.LETTERSBravo for BevingtonDavid Bevington's splendid articleon "Reconstructing Shakespeare"(SPRING/90) has gained you a contributor. Except for checking appropriatesections of "Class News" for familiarnames, I read most issues of the Magazine only casually if at all— we all havemore demands on our limited time andmoney than we can possibly meet, andone reads unsolicited mail only whentime permits.To have missed Bevington's article,however, would have been a genuineloss of opportunity. It alone is worth the$15.00, and your article on WayneBooth 's teaching of Faulkner makes this issue of the Magazine richer still.Please tell Mr. Bevington I'd like tosee what he has to say about Coriolanusin some future issue.Barbara Jacobson Seymour,PhB'48, AM'62Portland, OregonFeminist footnoteDavid Bevington presented the newcritical views of Shakespeare with hisusual clarity and precision. I especiallyappreciated his acknowledgment of theimportance to him and other scholars offeminist criticism. I am sure that had heknown that one of the editors of one of the first, and still most important,books of feminist criticism of Shakespeare is a graduate of the Universityof Chicago, he would have mentionedthat fact.The Woman's Part: Feminist Criticism ofShakespeare (Champaign: University ofIllinois Press, 1980) continues to beused in college classes and cited as aseminal work by critics. In addition toCarol Neely and Gayle Greene, it wasedited by Carolyn Ruth Swift Lenz,Ph.B. 1948.I studied Macbeth and King Lear inHumanities I and II with Russell Thomas and Henry Rago. William ReaKeast in the English department taughtthe first Shakespeare course I took. I amgrateful to these men for enabling me toread with the confidence that laterhelped me to gain feminist insights.Carolyn Ruth Swift, PhB'48Providence, Rhode IslandReconstructive criticismDavid Bevington shows us that we canreconstruct Shakespeare with the useof any number of modern theoriesabout human behavior and function.He is careful to show us as well thatthere is no single, definitive Shakespeare to be reconstructed— usually,he writes, no one knows which draftwas early, which late, and which solelyShakespeare's, rather than a variationmade by the actors who produced theplay— and if that, whether the variationis that of the rehearsal, the production,or the revival. In a word, he shows usthat there is no objectivity in decidingwhat to reconstruct.That is good to know; I had not appreciated it before. My new perspectiveleads me to thank Professor Bevington,of course, and you for printing the essay. But then I must wonder why he didnot similarly remind us that there isvery little objectivity in most of the theories that he applies to that reconstruction. My profession is to find objectively defensible ways of describing,systematizing, and predicting humanbehavior; of course, I recognize his candidates. In my opinion, they have nomore certainty, validity, or reliability ofinterpretation than does the assertionthat this text rather than that one is thedefinitive Shakespeare. If I am correct in that, then using these theories2 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE/SUMMER 1990for that purpose is not unlike usingone dramatist's plays to reconstructanother's.To borrow his theme: If there are asmany Shakespeares as there are readers who care to draw a lesson abouttheir own lives from his plays, could itnot also be that there are almost asmany theories that could supply thestructure for that adventure as there arecritics who require an external structurefor doing criticism? I suggest that ifthere are too many paths to a given end,then the very concept of path dissolves.Of course, I write only from the point ofview of a behavioral researcher. Withinthat point of view, I ask paradigmatical-ly, why not exercise some selectivity inchoosing theories about human behavior to use for literary criticism? And ifso, why not a selectivity based on somemass of proof of the theory's potentialvalidity?Donald M. Baer, AB'50, PhD'57Lawrence, KansasGolden age of photosynthesis?The time which Leon Lederman refersto as "the golden age of science"(SPRING/90 "Chicago Journal") wasthe Eisenhower-Kennedy era, when itwas believed that science would bring agolden age to humanity. The NASAspace program was being launched,computer science was just beginning,and there was great optimism about thefuture of nuclear energy (despite fearsreflected by the Doomsday Clock in theBulletin of the Atomic Scientists).To restore that aura to science, it isnecessary to restore that belief in it. Theproblems which this entails are indicated by worries about the greenhouseeffect and a crisis of confidence in nuclear fusion research.Since photosynthesis is the answerto the greenhouse effect, and it is a foregone conclusion that science will eventually perfect the technology needed toachieve artificial photosynthesis, itmight be a good idea for President Bushto launch a photosynthesis researchprogram, as President Eisenhowerlaunched a space program.It is easier said than done, but it isnot as difficult as achieving nuclear fusion, as is evident from the fact that natural photosynthesis goes on all aroundus in ordinary green plants, while the THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOALUMNI ASSOCIATIONInvites you to join distinguished faculty and alumni friends participatingin the Alumni Colleges Abroad scheduled for the coming monthsEast African Safari to KenyaSeptember 15-30Faculty: Stuart Altmann, Professorof Ecology and Evolution, theCommittee on EvolutionaryBiology, and the Committee onHuman Nutrition and NutritionalBiology.Perspectives onMediterranean Civilization:A Voyage from Istanbul to theAegean SeaOctober 4-18With Dartmouth College andHarvard UniversityFaculty: Robert Grant, ProfessorEmeritus of Humanities.The Cities of EasternEurope: Warsaw, Berlin,Potsdam, Leipzig, Dresden,and PragueOctober 8-22Faculty: Robert Z.

Jnearest place where fusion occurs is inthe sun, 93 million miles away. Yet, despite its abundance in nature, naturalphotosynthesis is not the answer.It is only by separating photosynthesis from the plants, and fusion fromthe sun, that we can use them to create abonanza on earth. Photosynthesispowered by nuclear fusion would be aclean source of food, fuel, and oxygen,and would make it possible to regulatethe amount of carbon dioxide in theatmosphere, thereby converting thegreenhouse effect from a menace to auseful tool for controlling the earth'sclimate.Despite the dilemma posed by thenational debt, the debt is clearly thelesser evil compared to neglecting science to save money. Contrary to hobbling future generations with debt, investments in photosynthesis researchwill pay them huge dividends, just asearly work on computer science is paying such dividends now.Kenneth J. Epstein, SM'52Chicago, IllinoisGenerating disappointmentI was shocked and disappointed to readin the SPRING/90 edition of the Magazine that my family and I will not be pictured in "Family Album" solely because I lack a "parent, grandparent,or great-grandparent" who is a U of Calum.My parents— who didn't have theopportunity to attend college-dreamed a dream: that my sister— AnnKarla (Dilibert) Priest— and I wouldgraduated from the U of C. That dreamcame true twice over. Ann graduatedfrom the College in 1981, and expectsher M.B.A. in 1991. I graduated fromthe College in 1984, and [received] myJ.D. in June. Those "Family Album"pictures meant a great deal to us. Theyfroze forever the moment our hopesbecame reality.Your new policy of picturing onlyfamilies who have long enjoyed theprivilege of attending Chicago slightsus for whom that privilege is heady andnew. How short-sighted of you, andhow disappointing to us. It is unfortunate that you find our contribution asalumni less significant.Karen Joan Dilibert, AB'84, JD'90Chicago, Illinois More on "social life"My noticing of the absence of studentsin the neighborhood ("Letters,"WINTER/90) was a tocsin that I thinkneeded further investigation. It surprises me that my point was missed. Inthe '60s "Social Life" was not parties,films, nor was it buses to the NorthSide. We were part of the neighborhood. We ate with the pensioners at theValois restaurant, frequented the barssouth of 60th Street, and relied onneighborhood residents to push-startour recalcitrant 1950 Chevy.While I appreciate that a "dean's"job is somewhat political, I did not writeto get a tendentious recital reminiscentof an army recruiter. Though I wouldnot recuse all Dean O'Neill's points, aclaque does come to mind.A recent Chicago graduate noticedmy letter and called. He related that almost the first item in his campus orientation was a briefing whose point was,"Do not go south of 60th Street or youmay never be seen again."I grew up in Chicago . Young peoplehere in south Texas would find theneighborhood appearance a shocking,alien environment. They should seethis in advance. Given the quality of Uof C students, I don't think this wouldnecessarily dissuade them. In fact, itmay stimulate their desire to see a worldso different from rural Texas. For applying students this is essential information. For those of us voting members ofour society who have not been back tosee, it is similarly important.I do not think the University is responsible for the decay of the surrounding neighborhood. But decayed it has.Driving around within one mile of thecampus evokes the scenes of post-warEurope. I was bummed-out to seebombed-out buildings. Instead of rotogravure of snow scenes (our 1959 street-blocking, 12-15 foot snowball wasnoticeably absent), why not publish accurate up-to-date pictures of the surrounding neighborhood?J.

All I wishwith this note is to make record of a visitto the house.Just a few short years back, I attended at the house my fraternity's yearlyalumni gathering. At the entrance werestill the Greek letters Delta Upsilon. Butonce inside there was little to indicate Iwas in a fraternity. In fact there wasmuch to tell me it was actually a boarding house. Gone was the honored fraternity plaque above the fireplace.Gone, too, I learned, were the nightlydinners together. And gone was themost cherished event— the Rose Dance.Gone were all inter-fraternity contactswith other houses. And apparentlygone, too, was "rush" as I knew it, being replaced by small notes about thecampus advertising a "unique experience in living."More was to come. The high pointof the evening had always been the TFSing. At the sing there was, includingmyself, a total of four DU alumni. (Inyears past, there were always dozens!)But I persisted, and performed as best Icould with a group (the active chapter)who were only vaguely aware of themelody, much less the words, of ourmost cherished fraternity song. (Theone we had chanted nightly at dinner,in days of yore.) But to be performingwith the only group at the I-F Sing whowas completely unaware that the ceremony was a "dress occasion" was whatmade my embarrassment both total andcomplete.James Kazanis, AB'61Park Ridge, IllinoisWhite House FellowshipsThe White House Fellowships programoffers an opportunity to learn aboutgovernment, policy-making, and leadership at the highest levels of the federal government.

Peters."They're already good at writing papers, " says Peters of his students-many of whom enroll in the course as ameans of satisfying the Common Corerequirement in musical and visual arts.For a lot of the students, he says, "it'slike learning to walk." He expectsthem to stumble— and to get back up."Got your objects?" asks Peters, abearded man in Peterbilt cap, corduroyjeans, and hiking shoes, as the firstjeaned and sneakered students enterthe Midway Studios classroom on awet Tuesday morning. Hardly pausingfor their nodded responses, he continues, "Put them out on the floor."Peters, who has degrees in forestryand biometrics, worked for severalyears as a systems analyst at a USDAforestry station before earning bachelor's and master's degrees in paintingand sculpture. He moved to Chicago in1971, to teach at the Art Institute, joining the University five years later (in1988, he won the Quantrell award forundergraduate teaching). His ownworks— which often combine installations and performances— are meant"to question limits, conventions, andassumptions; to challenge habitualthought patterns and perceptions."He picks his classroom assignments the same way: "These are allexercises that point in the same direction. They're meant to engage thestudents in some kinds of processesthat will enable them to learn how tolook, how to see."Today's assignment is a case inpoint: to collect at least 20 disparateobjects "united by a single formalproperty" and then to order them ina way— "a matrix, a grid, an array"—that allows the observer to see boththe organizing principle and eachobject's individuality.As background reading, Petershad assigned the preface to MichelFoucault's The Order of Things. His >£ y%^.y ,,:; fS'SS!:'"';.-v fj*"**^^ •V §Object lesson: Robert C. Peters, associate professor in Art and Design.book, Foucault writes, "arose out of apassage in Borges, " which describes afabulous encyclopedia that classifiesanimals according to one of 14 categories, from "(a) belonging to the Emper or" through "(n) that from a long wayoff look like flies." That ludicrousordering is the beginning of Foucault'smusings on the history of resemblance: "On what 'table,' according to7what grid of identities, similitudes,analogies, have we become accustomed to sort out so many differentand similar things?"While the Foucault excerpt is thetype of reading a College studentmight expect in any other course, "tobring shopping bags full of objects"to Midway Studios, says Peters, "requires a certain act of faith." The firstday of an assignment (each projectgoes through several refinements) isparticularly hard: "They're just learning to think about what the problemdemands." And, he says, the show-and-tell structure of the class, with itspublic critiques, can be unsettling. It'salso helpful: "They can see everybodyelse's response."Beer stein. Antique sewing scissors. Harmonica. Key. Fork. JaggedCitibank card. Crumpled foil wrapper.A young woman arranges a score ofclinking objects on the gray concretefloor."I did something different," shetells Peters."What's different?" he inquires,coming closer."I picked things that were silver.""Color is very difficult to do as anorganizing principle," he replies, onecolleague to another. "We'll talk aboutthat later."Several feet away, another studentinflates a blue balloon and crumplesup a sheet of paper from a yellow pad.She's also brought along a lemon, aBolo ball (still attached to its woodenpaddle), balled-up socks, a closelycoiled pair of fluffy white earmuffs,and a tennis ball. There's more: "Youdon't have the full effect yet," she says,opening a jar of bubble liquid andblowing a stream of iridescent, ephemeral spheres."I started with the beer bottle, " theguy beside her says of his two lines ofneatly paralleled objects: long-neckedCoors bottle, folded folding umbrella,sheathed tennis racket, roasting bas-ter, spatula, red-handled Phillipsscrewdriver, light bulb, dangle earring, and teabag (stretched taut fromtab to pouch).At five minutes past ten, as a latecomer quietly pulls cylindrical objectsfrom a plastic carrier, Peters takes offhis cap and begins. This is the first ofseveral sessions that the class willspend on the assignment, and Peters's comments over the next hour make itplain that these are very much worksin progress.Take the cylinders that have justbeen placed on the floor. "There's noattempt as yet to really push the limits" of the shape, he says, to find"chameleon-like objects" that may beread as cylinders by virtue of the otherobjects in the array— and yet hint atcontrasting shapes as well.How to find such objects? "Youjust have to try it. You can't think itout. You have to avoid trying to picturethe solution beforehand, trying toimpose a solution on it."Which means trying lots of objects:"To have no less than 20 objects probably means you have to have about 100objects laid out on your floor." Fromlots of places: "If you pick them outfrom your apartment, you limit thetype; if you start to look at the sidewalk or gutter, you'll have much morevariety."By way of illustration, Peters turnsto the array of silvery objects. "There'snothing organic. These are all objectsof manufacture." He tosses out an ideafor a fresh approach: "You could thinkabout silver as gray. That extends thecategory to a much wider range ofpossibilities— at least it might get youout to the organic world."A collection is not the same as anarrangement. Or, as the artist bluntlytells the class, "A heap is different froma matrix."Few in the studio— the guy withthe Coors bottle and tennis racket isamong the exceptions— have thoughtabout the order in which the objectshave been placed. "Systematic ordering within the groups of objects is veryimportant," Peters points out. "Theorder should come out of the materialsthat you have."He offers a quick example: someobjects in each grouping are large,some are small. "How do you dealwith those shifts of scale in thinkingabout how they can reinforce yourorganization?" The problem, hematter-of-factly reminds his students,"becomes very complex very quickly."Tour of inspection complete, Peterspauses to sum up. As he speaks, awoman in torn jeans quietly kneels,repacking her collection of cylindersinto a Bloomingdale's bag. Soon, allthat's left is a can of Cherry Coke. "What I want you to do, " Peterssays to the class, "is think about something other than circles."The best shapes, he advises, "arethose with a certain kind of simplicity.You have to play with it— take a shapeand say, 'That's the template I'm goingto use, ' and try to find it everywhere.It's a matter of imposing that templateon the world."With his fingers, he counts offways to "rework, rethink" the assignment before Thursday's class: Includeobjects from the natural world. Include objects that are in transitionalstages— stuff that's ordinarily considered garbage, trash. Include incomplete shapes, objects that can't readilybe named. "The goal is a unified groupof very disparate things— tuned to thepoint where there's a tension."There's also a new assignment. Forthe first time that day, Peters directsthe class's attention to three wordsprinted on the chalkboard: WATERDROP FALL. "This is the kind of question you see on intelligence exams.You've all taken these exams and donevery well on them. Now what happensto the word in the middle when it'sconnected to the word on eitherside?"The answer comes quickly. Pairedwith WATER, DROP becomes a noun;linked with FALL, it's a verb. "I wantyou to replicate that analogy usingobjects — placing three objects on thefloor with the middle object sharingproperties, not functions, of the objectson each side."The middle object, he offers byway of caveat, "has to have a certainkind of malleability." And, he cautions, "the relative strengths of theconnections must be equal, " that is,the eye mustn't link the central objectmore quickly to either of the flankingitems."What you need to do, " Peterssays, winding up the class, "is go outand gather a lot of stuff." He continuesto spout suggestions: Have roommateshelp. Look everywhere. Try the localrecycling center, supermarket producesections. "Vegetables are great— lots ofgood shapes.""Let's call it a day, " he says, although he will stay on, discussing theproblem with individual students, foranother 15 minutes or so. "I want youto go out and collect."— M.R.Y.8 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE/SUMMER 1990INVESTIGATIONSAncient MedicalDogma?"When I was a little kid, "saysMcGuire Gibson, AM'64, PhD'68, "Iremember going out in the backyardand digging up civilization." He isstill digging— and his latest find inthe ancient Babylonian city of Nippur (on the Euphrates River nearBaghdad) may offer a key to thepractice of ancient medicine.The Oriental Institute has beenexcavating in Nippur, a Mecca of itsday, since 1948. Since 1972, Gibson hasdirected the project. "Ever since 1948,"Gibson says, "we'd been concentrating on the religious part of the city. Ithought it was time to look at the secular side, at the ordinary people." Hemoved to another section of the city,where a University of Pennsylvaniateam had left "an enormous trench-within a few days, we'd turned upanother temple."But it wasn't until 1990 that Gibsonknew what he had found: an enormous temple dedicated to Gula, theMesopotamian goddess of healing.The temple's size— it may be as large asa football field— suggests that concernsabout health and medicine played amore central role in the people's livesthan had been thought.Because Gula was believed to be aminor deity, the large temple threw itsdiscoverers a curve: At first Gibsonassumed it was dedicated to the warrior god Ninurta. And before the teamcould go much farther into the site's"layer cake" of temple built upon temple, shifting silt dunes covered thearea. So, in 1974, the dig shifted itsfocus, turning to 13th-century B.C. E.government palaces, private houses onthe town's edge, and the city wall.This year, Gibson went back to thetemple: "There had been problemswith stratigraphy, with chronology."But now the chronology was in order.What's more, the silt dunes were shifting away from the temple. "The timewas right to go back in and do one of Dog figurines, like this one of bronze, arecentral to the worship of Gula — oftenshown with a canine companion.the big religious temples using thatchronology.""I look at sociology and economyas well as the objects," says Gibson,and in that regard the objects foundthis year were informative ones. Mostimportant was a small fragment oflapis lazuli with the inscription "ToGula " Similar pieces, dating from1250 B.C.E., have been found in Nippur, and identified as objects given bykings to other gods.The diggers found several dogfigures of baked clay or bronze: Gula is typically shown accompanied bya dog. They also unearthed severalcrude, baked-clay figurines showingmen in odd poses. "One grasps hisown neck, another holds his stomach,and a third has one hand on his headand the other on his stomach, " Gibsonsays. "People with an ailment musthave gone to Gula's temple to makean offering and perform a ritual thatinvolved a figurine."Over the next five years, the Nippur team plans to work its way downthrough the site (at bottom may berelics from 5,000 B.C.E.). "I want tolook at the temple and at buildings andhouses immediately surrounding thetemple," Gibson explains, to see howpeople living near the temple wereinvolved in the life of such a majorinstitution.He also wants to see "how thetemple works, how it is laid out, whatthe floor plan tells us about the functions." For example: "You try to workout traffic patterns, which way doorsswing. If a door swings inside, thenthe person on the inside can locksomeone out. That suggests that theroom is a place where there were precious objects."His team will also study soil, seed,and pollen samples: "Perhaps specialkinds of plants will be showing up incertain areas— we expect maybe in thesurrounding houses— that give usThe ruins of a temple to Gula, the Mesopotamian goddess of healing.clues as to the kinds of offerings thatwere made to Gula."Cuneiform tablets have beenfound on the site, and Gibson hopes tofind more, "medical texts that tell youabout the role of the god in keepingyou healthy." The ancient Babyloniansrelied on herbalists and magicians forhealing, and Robert D. Biggs, professor in Near Eastern Languages andCivilizations and a specialist in earlyBabylonian medicine, says that suchJohn Deighton, associate professorof marketing in the Graduate School ofBusiness, believes the 1990s will herald a new era of marketing, changingfundamentally the way Americans buyand sell.U.S. companies currently spend$162 billion a year for advertising andsales promotion of their products. Ina month, a typical consumer reads,hears and sees more than 2,000 advertisements. Deighton likens these consumers to "distant targets on a shore,with the companies posed as battleships, bombarding their targets withconcise bullets of information."Then they send out their reconnaissance planes, in the form of market researchers, to find out how it'sworked." So far, says Deighton, it'sworked "damned well"— giving birthto corporations like Procter & Gamble,the great beer and cereal brands, andcola companies. But, he warns, themethod may be wearing thin."When a company shouts at methrough the box to tell me— as they'vebeen telling me for 30 years— to worryabout 'ring around the collar,' they'reguilty of the most simple abuse ofconversation: they don't adapt theirmessage in light of what's being saidback to them."What's changed? In many industries, customers are now "individuallyaddressable, because their names,addresses, demographic backgrounds,and complete purchase histories arestored on computer databases," saysDeighton. "Manufacturers can treatthe marketplace as if it comprisedmany markets-of-one." Deighton citesas one example "the ubiquitous automatic teller machine, "or ATM. tablets could clarify the relationshipbetween the different types of healersand the role of the temple in theirpractices.One question for which both Biggsand Gibson would like to find an answer: Why are dogs associated withthe goddess of healing? At the moment, Gibson has only the start ofan hypothesis: "Perhaps it has todo with dogs licking their wounds."-M.R.Y.John DeightonWith a bit of imagination, ATMscould be used to "conduct a conversation with consumers." For example, anATM could also dispense movie tickets. "Over time, the machine wouldlearn your habits— say, that you likespy thrillers and are willing to see afilm in the afternoon. Eventually, itwould know enough about you andyour inclinations to say, 'Here's a goodthriller, and I'll give you a seat for$1.50 if you go Thursday afternoon.'It attempts to sway your behavior inan interactive way."The art of database marketing "isits ability to see patterns in data, to useconsumer responses to construct itsside of the conversation," says Deighton. One company that's "done well"with this strategy is Sears, through itsDiscover Card."They don't make a lot of moneyfrom the card . . . but they use the datagenerated by their knowledge of youas a card holder to develop ancillaryproducts." One thing Discover knowsabout its customers is that "they'recheap— if you're willing to use the card for a quarter-percent cash back bonus,maybe you'll jump for a ten dollarbonus on a certificate of deposit, ora discount on airline tickets."Although direct marketing is moreexpensive than mass marketing on acost-per-contact basis, it can be moreefficient. With a good database, companies like Discover can know a lotabout their customers "so they're notwasting money offering irrelevantservices to people who manifestly arenot interested."However, Deighton warns, "It'smisleading to suggest this is an ideaeverybody's going to make lots of money on. In fact, right now there is excesscapacity in the direct-marketing industry because competition is intense andeveryone's using the same old hackneyed techniques, like mailing catalogues. That worked three years ago,but now it's gotten boring. But thatdoesn't mean the trend won't revive.After all, the first magazine ads probably all looked the same and didn't pullvery hard. Then we learned betterways of doing it."Deighton offers some "blue skyspeculation" on what will happen ifthe direct marketing trend really takesoff. He argues that ad agencies willbe hard-pressed to justify their traditional role "as custodians of thebrand image." Instead, successfulagencies will adapt their creativity tolend a human touch in computer-driven, direct-response marketingprograms."Manufacturing will need to learnto use consumer information to drive aflexible manufacturing process. Forexample, we've got publishers offeringcustomized textbooks— so my particular course offering will be scheduledinto a book that is combined with noextraneous chapters. That same concept could be applied to clothing,even cars."In sum, companies will earn customer loyalty by catering to their specific interests and desires, "whichshould have lots of appeal to consumers," he says. To meet that goal, however, companies will need to fill theirdatabases with detailed profiles oftheir customers. "And there's the rub,"says Deighton. "How will consumersfeel about a stranger calling up personal information about them at the pushof a button?"— 10.Marketing Up Close and Personal10 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE/SUMMER 1990CHICAGO JOURNALBlueprint for Change in theHumanities DivisionChanges in the nature of humanistic studies call for correspondingchanges in Chicago's Division of theHumanities— particularly in the waysthat the division promotes interdisciplinary research. That's the conclusionreached by a faculty Commission onthe Humanities, appointed in 1988 tostudy the role of the humanities within the University— and to chart a 1990sagenda for the Division of the Humanities. The commission, chaired byPhilosophy Professor Daniel Garber,presented its final report this April.Humanities Dean Philip Gossettcalls the report "a blueprint for areasof concern within the division ... focusing on the practical issues that weface." Among the practical issues thecommission discussed were: structuralchanges in the division, salary equitywith the University's other divisions,research support and the Universitylibrary, graduate programs, and language teaching. Since taking officeas dean last fall, Gossett notes, hehasn't "attempted to come to gripswith all of the portions of the report atone time."Still, many of the report's recommendations have already had an effect. For example, after years of beingthe only University division in whichdepartments lacked financial autonomy, Humanities has decentralized itsfinances, "offering departments moreof an opportunity to make their owndecisions— about research expenses,faculty travel, equipment purchases,bringing in outside speakers— eventelephones."The report's request that the division re-evaluate its mechanisms forencouraging interdisciplinary effortshas also had results. Urging the division to take a hard look at its eightinterdepartmental committees, thereport argued that the mechanismsof the committees— "very difficult toform" and equally hard to dissolveafter they have outlived "any usefulintellectual function"— work againsttheir intended purpose of promoting interdisciplinary alliances.The call to evaluate the committees, says Daniel Garber, "has beenseen by some as a going away frominterdisciplinary efforts, but that's notthe case." Garber sees the suggestionas an attempt to make form matchfunction: "The committees that havereally worked— the ones with dedicated faculty and solid graduate programs—operate like departments, " hesays, "so why don't they becomedepartments?"This spring, Dean Gossett askedthe committees to prepare self-studies,"to see how they conceive their currentrole in the University." Those studies,he says, will be reviewed by the division's policy committee and by outsideevaluators before any decisions aremade about the fate of individualcommittees.The commission also recommended several ways of encouraging moreinterdisciplinary research, includingthe creation of a Humanities Institute.Even before the commission's reportwas released, a committee, chaired byW.J.T Mitchell, professor in EnglishLanguage and Literature, had beenformed to explore such an institute;that committee also made its reportin April.As envisioned by the committee,says Mitchell, the Chicago HumanitiesInstitute "will be a gateway, a mediating point where all of the various interests in the humanities can come togain access to one another, and wherehumanities can be seen in relation tothe public sphere." This is a logicalconnection, he says, "because thoseplaces where disciplines communicatewith each other are those places wherethey're most likely to communicatewith the outside world."In planning Chicago's institute,the committee borrowed from theUniversity's own workshop programs(where researchers from various disciplines gather to explore a sharedarea of interest) and from humanitiesinstitutes already established at othercolleges and universities.Rather than focus the institutearound "the radiant glow" of a visiting "star professor," as some other institutes have done, says Mitchell, theinstitute will focus on Chicago's juniorfaculty, "partly because they are theones who need research opportunitiesat this really formative stage and partlybecause fewer such opportunities areavailable to them— or those that arerequire that they go out of residence atthe University."To give the institute's fellowsthe networking that going to an off-campus center provides, the institutewill set up short-term exchange visitswith scholars from other humanitiesinstitutes. In addition, Mitchell says,the institute will encourage someoutside fellows, perhaps through aregional fellowship program.This spring, Philip Gossett appointed Norma Field, associate deanof the humanities (and associate professor of East Asian Languages andCivilizations) as interim director of theinstitute; he also provided the institutewith seed money for faculty proposals."The first programs should be inplace," Gossett says, "by winter orspring of the 1990-91 year."Edward CookEdward Cook: From Professorto Dean of StudentsEdward Cook, associate professorin history, has been named Dean ofStudents in the University, replacing11Windy City Convocation: More than 2,000 students received degrees at the University's417th Convocation ceremonies on June 8 and 9. The Convocation speaker was DennisHutchinson, associate professor in the College.Nancy Maull, AM'69, SM'73, PhD'74,who left the post in July 1989 to become deputy provost.Cook, the first faculty member tofill the position in some years, wasappointed at the recommendation ofa committee formed last October,chaired by Starkey Duncan, professorand chairman of psychology in theCollege. Part of Cook's charge, he says,is to "bring a distinctly faculty viewinto this office."Asked why he decided to take onthe responsibilities of his new office—which oversees the housing system,career services, student activities,physical education and athletics,Student Health Services, and thestudent disciplinary system— Cookresponds with a chuckle, "becausethey asked me.""The broader background is thatI've been here for almost 20 years,primarily as a professor in the historydepartment, and over those years I'vebeen engaged in a lot of activities involving student life, " including, since1987, non-resident master of Broadview Residence Hall with his wife, Lee—a job the Cooks definitely want tocontinue.Cook insists he's not coming intothe job "in a fit of reforming zeal.However, there are some key areas,such as student activities and athletics,that have hired new directors withinthe last year. So we have some strongnew people looking at those areas witha fresh eye, which I think provides mewith an opportunity to give somedirection in those areas."Cook supports "a very high-quality student activities program,with a broad range of participation."As a means towards that end "we'relooking to manage the buildings wehave better — to maintain them better,to upgrade some of the facilities." Inathletics, Cook is firmly committed toChicago's participation in the newUniversity Athletic Association(UAA), and he will also encouragestronger programs in intramural andrecreational athletics.Overall, says Edward Cook,"what's exciting about this job is theability to contribute to the quality ofcampus life that makes much of theacademic life of the place possible andcomfortable for faculty and studentsalike." New Divinity DeanW. Clark Gilpin, AM'72, PhD'74,has been appointed dean of the Divinity School, effective Oct. 1.In announcing the appointment,President Gray noted that as an associate professor in the Divinity Schoolsince 1984, Gilpin has published widely on American religion and theological education while at the same timeassuming key administrative roles,including dean of the Disciples Divinity House.A graduate of the Divinity School,Gilpin's early research focused onEnglish and American Puritanism.In 1979, he wrote about an earlyAmerican advocate of religious andpolitical freedom in The MillenarianPiety of Roger Williams.In the last five years, Gilpin hasshifted his area of study to the historyof theology as an academic disciplinefrom the 18th century to present— aninterest that should complement hisnew role as dean of what he terms"this preeminent institution for thestudy of religion.""The Divinity School has madeimportant new appointments this spring and plans more, " notes Gilpin,who predicts these new faculty willdiversify "substantially" the school'sapproaches to the study of religions.Gilpin will succeed FranklinGamwell, AM'70, PhD'73, who hasserved two five-year terms as dean andwho will return full time to teaching.Anti-cancer Drugs Go on TrialThe National Cancer Institute hasawarded a five-year, $2.1 million contract to the University Medical Centerfor clinical trials of new anti-cancerdrugs.Contract competition was stiff: thenumber of centers receiving contractswas reduced from eight to six, and ofthose six, all but the U. of C. wererenewals of existing contracts. SamuelHellman, Dean of Biological Sciencesand the Pritzker School of Medicine,says the grant "confirms the value ofsome of the specific approaches ouroncologists have been recommendingin the development and use of anticancer drugs."Those approaches include an emphasis on pharmacokinetics (howdrugs are metabolized in the body)12 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE/SUMMER 1990Curricula VitaeIn April, Anthony Yu, PhD'69,was named a Distinguished ServiceProfessor. Yu— who is the Carl DarlingBuck Professor in Humanities, theDivinity School, East Asian Languages& Civilizations, English, and the Committee on Social Thought, and chairman of the Committee on ComparativeStudies in Literature— joined the faculty in 1969.J. Paul Hunter, professor in English Language & Literature, has beenappointed the Chester D. Tripp Professor in the Humanities. He succeedsGwin Kolb, AM'46, PhD'49, whobecame the Chester D. Tripp ProfessorEmeritus last year. Hunter is the author of the widely-used college textNorton Introduction to Poetry, now in itsfourth edition. He joined the facultyin 1987.Michael Fishbane joined the Divinity School faculty in July as theUniversity's first Nathan CummingsProfessor of Jewish Studies. Fishbanewas formerly professor of Jewish religious history and social ethics at Bran-deis University. Among his books isBiblical Interpretation in Ancient Israel,which received the national JewishBook Award for Scholarship. TheCummings chair, established twoyears ago, honors the late Chicagoindustrialist and philanthrophist.Five professors have entered thepantheon of Quantrell Award winners.Honored for their undergraduateteaching were: Leo Kadanoff, the JohnD.

The drugsinvolved, often available nowhere else,are offered only to patients whosecancer has spread and who would notbe helped by other known treatments.The NCI contract will fund at leastthree new phase-I studies per year,says Ratain. A typical study involves15 to 30 patients and lasts from ninemonths to three years.Other institutions selected for theNCI contracts were: Johns Hopkins College senior Linda Green wasco-recipient of the first Alice T.Schafer Prize, given to the nation'soutstanding female college mathmajors by the Association for Womenin Mathematics. Green shared theaward with a Harvard junior; eachreceived $1,000. In nominating Green,Professor Paul Sally, director of undergraduate studies in mathematics, saidthat of the approximately 150 womenwho have majored in math in the College during the last 25 years, she"stands at the very top." Green, whoreceived both an A.B. and A.M. inJune, will begin doctoral studies at theUniversity of Michigan this fall.When Jay Rosenblatt, a doctoralstudent in music, spoke to the Magazine last spring, he looked forward tohearing an actual performance of along-lost Liszt concerto, which hediscovered in Europe while researching materials for his dissertation. OnMay 3, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, featuring Canadian pianistJanina Fialkowska, gave a world premiere of the concerto. Chicago Sun-Times music critic Robert C. Marsh,X'48, wrote that the CSO's debut ofRosenblatt's find "made it clear that itis an important addition to therepertory."Justin Boyan, a third-year computer science and mathematics majorprofiled in the Magazine (FALL/88), wasone of 20 U.S. students receiving Timemagazine's 1990 College Achievementawards. Time recognized Boyan foracademic success and for his creationand marketing of a telecommunications software program. The winnerseach received $3,000— and appeared ina May issue of Time.University, the University of Maryland, the Mayo Clinic, the Universityof Texas-San Antonio, and the University of Wisconsin.Hellman notes that, in addition tothe NCI contract, six young Universitycancer researchers have received research grants totaling $225,000 fromthe Cancer Research Foundation "toundertake speculative projects thatmight not initially attract support frommore conservative funding sources."13Bowling Over the CompetitionWhen the University of Chicagowon the 1990 National College Bowlcrown this past spring, fourth-yearcaptain Anand Raman knew his team'sfinest moment would also be its last.Raman, senior Rafi Laufer, andgraduate students Ken Hite and Benjamin Fine, JD'84, SM'86, capturedthe College Bowl crown April 29 at theUniversity of Minnesota by defeatingMIT in the final round, 245-200.As a first-year student, Ramanrevived College Bowl— which had beendormant on campus since its heyday inthe 1960s and a brief revival in the late1970s— by organizing an intramuralversion of the game. The team culledfrom those intramural players placedtenth in national competition in 1988,and fourth last year.Then came the team's "moment oftruth" at this year's nationals. In fourof their seven games, the Chicagoplayers rallied from behind with onlyseconds to spare. "We knew this wasour last time together as a team," saysRaman. "We wouldn't have been content with anything less than first."No, players will tell you, CollegeBowl is not like Trivial Pursuit— you mayas well mistake Brie for a can of cheesespread. It is, they'll concede, a bit likeJeopardy— except that the questions areharder, and there are no flashinglights, commercial breaks, or consolation prizes. "We don't take home anything but the glory, " says Raman.College Bowl first appeared in the1950s as a radio quiz game and later asa TV program. The canceled show wasrevived in 1976 by a national organization of student activities directors.Broadcast for a time on CBS Radio, theshow is currently without a networksponsor— but that seems to matterlittle to the nearly 400 college teamswho compete each year in regionalplay-offs for a spot at the nationals.The fast-paced game is over afteronly two seven-minute halves. Competing teams are asked "toss-up"questions each worth 10 points, whichRaman says are written so that "bythe end most people would know theanswer." After winning the toss-up,a team can confer on a harder bonusquestion, worth from 20 to 30 points."The secret is to see, very early on,what the question is going towards, " Chicago 's No. 1 team: Ben Fine, Rafi Laufer, Ken Hite, and Anand Raman.says Raman. "You learn to buzz in notwhen you know the answer but whenyou feel you'll be able to know it in acouple of seconds, because you havethat much time after you've buzzed."Raman recalls a question that began: "Benjamin Britten wrote thescore for the musical Billy Budd—" Hebuzzed in, struggled for a brief moment, then answered, "Aaron Copland." The rest of the question was,"Who wrote the score for Billy theKid?""How did you know they weren'tlooking for the author of the novellaBilly Budd, or the date it was written?"Raman nods patiently, then shrugs,the way Orel Hershiser might if askedwhy he decided to throw a slider instead of a curve ball. "Because I justdid. I knew they wouldn't want that.""If you want to talk to someonewho's a master at this, " Raman advises, "talk to Lorin Burte. In my opinion, he's the greatest player in thehistory of College Bowl." Burte,MBA'81, led a Chicago team to thenational quarterfinals in 1980 and1981, and was named both years to the"All-Tournament Ail-Star Team."A Chicago resident, Burte hasremained active in College Bowl as aquestion reader and judge at localtournaments, where he's noticed that"a lot of teams are carried by one outstanding player, which isn't enoughto win a championship." Of Raman,Hite, Fine, and Laufer, however, Burtebelieves "any one is a threat to answer a particular question. This team has asgood a balance as any I've seen."The way this balance works isn'talways obvious. For example, it's notthe mathematics graduate student(Fine) who handles math questions,but Hite, who is studying internationalrelations. "That's because depth ofknowledge in a subject can actuallyslow you down," Raman explains. Forhis part, Fine takes the lion's share ofqueries on classical music and boxing.Raman specializes in current events,Laufer U. S. history and rock & roll.To prepare for competition, "wedon't sit and memorize the 500 largestlakes, that sort of thing," says Raman."Mostly when I get an answer it's because I read a book or took a course ona subject. Sometimes it's a fact youlearned back in fifth grade."Often, it's even mysterious to uswhere our knowledge of a particularquestion comes from," says Raman.For example, at a Princeton tournament, Chicago received this bonusquestion: "For his cable network, TedTurner has chosen as a final sign-off incase of nuclear war the same song theband played on the Titanic as it wentdown."At the last second, Fine buzzed in,hesitated, and— just before the buzzersounded— blurted out the right answer, "Nearer My God to Thee.""Not only did it give us valuablepoints, " says Raman, "but it had adevastating effect psychologically onour opponents."— TO.I IMIVFRCITV m: ruir aA Very Good Year forGraduate FellowshipsThe University's newspaper, TheChronicle, had to add extra pages tomake room for announcements of thestudent fellowships and scholarshipsthat poured in throughout the spring.In April came news that nine graduate students had won Charlotte New-combe Fellowships— more than anyother university. Columbia was thesecond most represented school, withfive winners. Yale and Harvard hadfour winners each. The Newcombefellowships provide stipends of '$11,000 and are given for doctoralstudies related to ethical or religiousvalues. Since the program began in1981, Chicago's graduate studentshave received 55 Newcombes— Harvard is second with 42 fellowships.Another five graduate studentsreceived Spencer Dissertation-YearVoices on the QuadsNo matter how many movies areout there, I think the really great oneswill continue to find an audience.

Minorsurgical complications— bile leaks,post-operative bleeding— were notuncommon for the adult donors. ButPeter Whitington, director of pediatrictransplant services, rates a donor's riskof fatal consequences between "one ina hundred and one in a thousand."The most serious complication:Teresa Smith's spleen was damagedand had to be removed. Still, she hasalready resumed her Texas teachingjob. As for the transplant recipients:eight were on recovery paths, althoughthere had been minor surgical complications and some bouts with rejection.But the fifth recipient, TommyTenuta of Phoenix, Arizona, lost theliver segment donated by his father, Charles; an infection and a cloggedhepatic artery damaged the transplantbeyond recovery. His body then rejected a cadaveric liver received in asecond transplant, and he will need athird transplant by fall.

Sleepout, which began about25 years ago, became increasingly popular through the 1980s. Ideal weather conditionsmade the 1990 Sleepout an estimated record-breaker in terms of both numbers and enjoyment—as students tossed frisbees, barbecued burgers, or read assignments in the sun.16 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAG A7IMF/SI wuct 1990A SociallyResponsiblePhysician eration, Cassel has also establishedherself as a key figure in the NobelPrize-winning Physicians for SocialResponsibility.Along with the prestige, Cassel hasattracted some criticism. Her outspoken support of a national health insurance plan and her firm advocacy ofterminally-ill patients' right to die setsher at odds with more conservativemembers of the medical establishment.One also hears sporadic grumbles inthe hospital corridors that her busyschedule makes her "hard to see"—and, indeed, her secretary seems toplan her lengthy workdays with the exhaustive precision of a space shuttlelaunch.Yet Cassel, at age 44, bears the stressof her responsibilities with little visiblewear. Her smile is consistently cordial.She's against nuclear proliferation, fora national healthinsurance system.Christine Cassel,M.D., doesn't shyaway from makingethical decisions—or from acting uponher beliefs.By Tim Obermiller As a University of Chicagosenior in 1967, ChristineCassel turned down aWoodrow Wilson fellowship for advanced study inthe theory of esthetics because, shesays, "it didn't feel right somehow."Ten years later, with similar a-plomb, Cassel tossed away a promisingcareer in immunology to explore thecomparatively obscure discipline ofbioethics."Both times I was told, 'You'recrazy. You're throwing away a terrificcareer,'" recalls Cassel. "But I've always been sort of stubborn that way...I've always done what matteredto me."Her stubbornness has helped propel Cassel to a pioneering position inthe field she eventually chose: geriatric/internal medicine. At Mount SinaiMedical Center in New York, shefounded and directed the geriatric fellowship program, working with RobertN. Butler, M.D., to establish the first department of geriatrics in the U.S.In 1985, she joined the UniversityMedical Center's faculty as section chiefof general internal medicine, overseeing the general medicine and primarycare programs, the Center for ClinicalMedical Ethics, and developing an expansive program in geriatric medicine,which includes the Windermere SeniorHealth Center (which she also founded)^ vocal opponent of nuclear prolif- The gaze of her bright blue eyes issteady, forthright, and, on occasion,quietly defiant. Such a look appears asshe recalls past decisions that rubbedagainst the conventional grain, thosethings in Christine Cassel's life that shehas decided "matter."w hat matters to Casselduring the waningweeks of spring is Kazakhstan, a southernrepublic of the SovietUnion from which she has just returned. All of the underground nucleartesting done in the Soviet Union occursin Kazakhstan, in a remote desert region near Semipalatinsk. During thepast two years, approximately 200,000of the republic's inhabitants, concernedabout the health effects of nuclear radiation, have formed a grassroots protestmovement to ban all testing in the area.With money raised through privatedonations, the Semipalatinsk activistsinvited 700 international physiciansand scientists to a conference tacklingthe political and scientific issues of nuclear testing. Cassel spoke on behalf ofPhysicians for Social Responsibility(PSR), whose anti-nuclear activitiesin part inspired the Semipalatinskmovement. Later, she marched witha crowd of 20,000 protesters throughthe streets of Alma-Ata, the republic'scapital.The high-plains, arid region of17president "for a one-year term, whichis good, because it's an enormous timecommitment." Much of her work wasdone in Washington, D.C., lobbying toelicit support for ratification of twotreaties, one eliminating all U.S. andSoviet intermediate-range nuclear missiles, approved by legislative bodies ofboth countries in May of that year, andanother calling for reduction of strategic (long-range) missiles that remainsstalled in negotiations. Today she continues to serve on the group's board ofdirectors— "as committed as ever" tothe cause."People think because glasnost isbreaking out all over that we need notbe worried about nuclear war anymore.Nothing could be further from thetruth, " insists Cassel. "The U. S. is con-/^ ¦ assel attended a From the beginning of hermedical studies at the University of Massachusetts in1970, Christine Cassel wasintrigued by bioethical questions. While training for her chosenfield of speciality, immunology, shetook time out to participate in a series ofinformal meetings led by Ruth Purtilo,a Ph.D. ethicist on the U-Mass faculty,where medical students could "gettogether and talk openly about ethicalissues, and not just keep them tothemselves."Cassel continued immunology studies during an internship and residency at the University of California-SanFrancisco, where she coauthored research articles on X-linked immunedeficiency diseases (Duncan's diseases), Epstein-Barr virus, andmyasthe-PSR symposium outSemipalatinsk, Cassel says, remindedher of nuclear test sites in the Nevadadesert, where she and fellow-PSR protesters were frequently arrested by federal authorities for trespassing duringthe 1980s. "They would always drop thecharges because they knew that if theylet us stand trial, it would make a lot ofpress for our cause, which is partlywhat we wanted. It was a sort of gameeveryone was playing," she admits,"but an important one, I think."PSR was launched in 1962, but grewslowly at first: the Test Ban Treaty of1963 and the beginnings of detente withthe Soviet Union caused a lull in interest. The organization experienced a revival in 1979, led by Helen Caldecott,M.D., and other Boston-area physicians concerned about the renewedrhetoric of hostility between the superpowers and the proliferation of nuclearweapons. Partly out of "morbid curiosity, " Cassel attended a PSR-sponsoredsymposium in 1980, entitled, "MedicalConsequences of Nuclear Weapons andNuclear War."For two days, in a packed San Francisco auditorium, Cassel heard scientists explain "in excruciating detail"how nuclear bombs worked, how manywere made, the politics behind theirconstruction, and the devastation thatoccurs with their use. Awed by the"sheer power" of the data presented,she promptly signed up to join thegroup.Cassel later explained her rationalefor PSR involvement in an article co-written with Andrew Jameton andpublished in the Annals of Internal Medicine—and reprinted in the 1984 book(which she coedited), Nuclear Weaponsand Nuclear War: A Sourcebook for HealthProfessionals. The article concludes, "Along tradition of intervention in thename of relieving suffering and preventing unnecessary death and disability supports a central professionalresponsibility to work towards the prevention of nuclear war."Cassel was named to the group'snational board of directors in 1982.Three years later, PSR shared the 1985Nobel Peace Prize with other nationalphysicians' groups affiliated with International Physicians for the Preventionof Nuclear War— cited by the Nobelcommittee for performing "a considerable service to mankind by. . .creatingan awareness of the catastrophic consequences of atomic warfare."In 1988, Cassel was elected PSR tinuing to produce three to five strategicnuclear weapons a week, continues totalk of modernizing its forces, and so farhas not made any progress towards anuclear test ban treaty. . .despite thefact Gorbachev has made it clear hewants such a treaty."For the two superpowers to stop nuclear testing, even on an interim basis,Cassel believes, "is a very importantsymbolic act for the rest of the world.There are 15 or 16 countries that eitherhave made, or have the potential tomake, bombs, and the technology isspreading rapidly. With a comprehensive test ban, there would be a greaterability to detect cheating by Libya, orIran, or whomever. A real concern nowis nuclear terrorism and irresponsibleleaders getting their hands on thesethings."As for PSR, Cassel reports, "ourmembership has not declined— in factit's increasing. .. .1 think our membershave the idea that they've joined thisorganization for the long haul." Indicative of the group's continued vitality,she says, is its planned launch of a newjournal, The PSR Quarterly: A Journal ofMedicine ami Global Survival, next year.Cassel will serve as associate editor."We're going to look at issues beyondnuclear weapons, other weapons ofmass destruction, environmental issues. . .things where medicine and issues of population survival really cometogether." nia gravis. "It was fascinating work, butI became more and more troubled bythe ethical issues of human experimentation—we were doing research on human beings— and also by the routine,life-and-death decisions that I sawbeing made as intern resident on thewards."So she enrolled in a special bio-ethics program at San Francisco, led bya theologian and a philosopher whoworked in the clinical setting. "I became completely turned around— thatethics was the frontier of medicine andnot immunology," she says. Her residency completed, she signed up for ayear-long fellowship program in general (i.e, non-clinical) ethics at San Francisco, ignoring colleagues' warningsthat she was headed down a dead end."There wasn't an obvious careertrack for a physician in ethics in thosedays," Chris Cassel concedes. "In fact,most physicians were extremely skeptical about the worth of bioethical study.When we would bring up questions ofmoral discourse and of ethics in clinicaldiscussions, generally people wouldwant to dismiss it. They felt moralitywas something you were born with, orat least learned at your mother's knee,and no amount of discussion was goingto change your values."Once Cassel became convinced ofthe value of bioethics, she set out to persuade others. Towards that end shewrote a book with Ruth Purtilo, Ethical18 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE/SUMMER 1990Dimensions in the Health Professions,published in 1981 . "You had to convincehealth care professionals that ethicswas a rational discipline— it was not irrational and emotional; in fact, it wasquite systematic and quite cognitive.There were rules, a hierarchy of principles, and, furthermore, they wouldhelp you solve problems."Gradually, Cassel began to seemore openness to bioethics amongphysicians, "partly because medicaltechnology was growing so rapidly, andwas presenting us with more and moredifficult problems all the time."Secondly, the nature of medicalpractice was changing— it was becoming a commercial enterprise. Patientswere becoming consumers and as consumers they had rights and those rights are in old people. Secondly, the fieldis dense with important, unresolvedethical problems. And then there wasa moral reason for doing it: this is a neglected population."In 1979, Cassel enrolled in a two-year geriatrics fellowship program atthe Oregon Health Sciences Universityin Portland, where she then served asan assistant professor before joining thegeriatrics faculty at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York. Her reputationin the field was consolidated with the1984 publication of Geriatric Medicine— atwo-volume textbook edited by Casselwith John R. Walsh, M.D., chief of geriatric medicine for the Veterans Administration Medical Center and head ofgerontology for the Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland. (Thebook is currently in its second edition.) not as many as we'd like, and this is afact that's true nationally. It's a chicken-and-egg problem. Until we have morefaculty, we're not going to be able tostimulate and teach the young peoplewho come along to want to go intothis."Geriatrics also has an image problem, she concedes. "For one thing, it'snot a big money-making field. Yet perhaps even more importantly, there isstill this negative attitude about agingin our society, and young people inmedicine are no exception."Such antipathy, Cassel has observed, can directly overlap into patientcare. She recalls the case of a 99-year-old-woman who, after several faintingspells, was brought by her family to ahospital, where an electrocardiogramshowed that her heart was pausing toomerica's health insurance system, says Chris Cassel, hasbegan to come in conflict with the traditional ways of practicing medicine."During her internship and residency in San Francisco, Cassel had begunto notice what she saw as another voidin medicine. She remembers, "Wewould make rounds to the patients onthe wards, and 85 percent of the peoplewe saw we regarded as people withthese 'uninteresting' diseases: arthritis, urinary incontinence, mental confusion, Alzheimer's. All of those diseases that are common in elderlypeople— diseases that weren't reallytaught to us in medical school."I realized that part of the reasonthat I didn't think the care of elder,chronically ill, and disabled people wasinteresting was that I felt incompetentto deal with their illnesses. Faced witha confused person who has a wholerange of problems, and who is on multiple medications, you feel incompetent— especially if you haven't been trainedin a systematic approach to dealingwith their problems."Cassel was still committed to herbioethical studies, but she had also realized that "what I needed was a clinicalbase in which to continue this work,and that's when I decided to specializein geriatrics."I thought, what could be more perfect? It was a brand new speciality at thetime. It's completely challenging internal medicine— the most complex medical problems you are ever going to see In 1986, Cassel came back to Chicago, recruited by Leif Sorensen, M.D.,professor and associate chairman of theUniversity's Department of Medicine.The previous year, Sorensen had established a new geriatrics fellowship program, and had developed a number ofintroductory geriatric courses for first-and second-year medical students. Assection chief of general internal medicine, Cassel's first priority was to recruit new faculty to teach geriatrics. Itwas not a simple task, since only about100 physicians complete post-residency fellowships in geriatric medicineor geriatric psychiatry each year.That's a problem, according to Cassel. Given current estimates that by theyear 2000, 18 percent of all Americanswill be over the age of 65, at least a doubling of today's annual output of graduates in geriatrics is needed to meet theconservative goal of 2,100 academic geriatricians by the turn-of-the-century.Despite this shortage, Cassel has beenable to recruit 12 full-time faculty members in geriatrics, but deliberately keepsthe number of geriatric fellowshipsdown to two or three a year."I've been in other programs wherethey've had six or seven fellows, andthere just weren't enough faculty to really teach them," she explains. "Wewant to give our fellows a very intensiveexperience."Chicago's fellowship program "getsa lot of applications, " she says, "though long between beats. Such a problem isnormally solved by the relatively simple insertion of a pacemaker.But in this instance, the intern whoexamined the patient assumed that ifhe called the cardiologist about a pacemaker for a 99-year-old, his callwouldn't be returned. Cassel learnedabout the case from hospital staff members, and subsequently arranged tohave a cardiologist consulted. Herpacemaker inserted, the woman's fainting spells ceased, and she resumed hernormal lifestyle."I have found myself, on occasion,arguing with a surgeon to be more aggressive about treatment, " says Cassel."Particularly someone with dementia,where people assume that they've lostsome essential aspect of humannessand so aren't worth treating Thatcould only come from someone whodidn't know the family, or who this person was before."I'm not saying there might not be atime in the course of Alzheimer's orsome other dementing illness when theright thing to do is let that patient die, "Cassel quickly adds, "but it's not immediately obvious that, just because theperson has a diagnosis of dementia,one shouldn't put in a pacemaker or doa major surgical procedure."The challenge," she says, "is figuring out how to improve the quality ofsomeone's life without necessarily using every piece of machinery you can20 1990think of— but using it selectively andthoughtfully."To do that you need to see the patient as a person, to really get to knowthem over a period of time, helpingthem to plan and deal with the issues intheir lives. You need to find out what isto them the meaning of their lives aswell as the meaning of their deaths."At the Windermere Senior HealthCenter, Christine Cassel encouragesher staff of 11 geriatric internists to askpatients and their families the "nitty-gritty" questions: what their preferences would be regarding life-sustaining treatment if they were put ina situation where they couldn't communicate, and their chance of recovery wassmall? What member of their familywould they wish to serve as a proxydecision-maker? Would they want toestablish so-called "living wills" thatclarify their wishes in such a case?Peter Pompei, MD'77, assistantprofessor in the Department of Medicine and director of the Windermere,contends this kind of exchange is "veryunusual. I think most people don't takethe time to think about a lot of those issues—and to think about them, really,before the fact."We often describe it as a process.The first time you bring it up you maybe rebuffed, so it takes persistenceand sensitivity on the part of physician to get at these issues and avoid themorbid context— to look at it as usefulinformation."Such frank discussion is only oneexample of the Windermere's unconventional approach to geriatric outpatient care. The clinic— which opened inthe fall of 1987 and now sees 3,000 patients a year— is very much a product ofCassel's vision. She picked out the site,in an easily accessible first-floor suite ofHyde Park's historic WindermereHouse; set criteria for the interior design (for example, wide hallways toaccommodate wheelchairs and stretchers); and forged a team of specialiststhat, she says, provides a "one-stopshopping approach" for senior patientsthat's also affordable, since almost allthe clinic's services are covered byMedicare.In addition to a full complement ofUniversity specialists in cardiology, ophthalmology, audiology, dermatology, nutrition, gynecology, and psychiatry, the clinic has on staff a full-timenurse practitioner and social worker."In many cases," Cassel explains, "theproblems older people face are economic, social, or psychological. It's amistake to think a doctor can look at allthose issues in a person's life."In fact, says Peter Pompei, many ofthe Windermere's referrals from general physicians "are more related to theirfrustrations in providing comprehensive services for patients than it is fortaking care of their specific medicalneeds."Although Cassel has no figures yetto prove it, she suspects the Windermere's one-stop health care approachfor seniors is economical in the longterm. "Maintaining patients in the bestpossible condition for as long as possible" can often help postpone the needfor hospital or nursing home care, shebelieves. In the short term, however,the support needed to coordinate theWindermere's extensive services unfortunately makes it a hard model for private practitioners not associated with amajor hospital to follow.Along with nuclear proliferation and the need for improved health care for older Americans, the risingcost of medicine is high onChristine Cassel's list of things thatmatter these days."About 37 million Americans do nothave health insurance coverage and existing payers — government, business,and private insurers— are increasinglyunwilling to cover the costs of theircare," says Cassel. "So the question becomes, what's the morally correct wayto deal with resource allocation in afundamentally unjust system, whichis really what we're faced with day in,day out, in this society, where we don'thave a health care system that coverseveryone, and we're having to makedecisions about whom to treat forwhat— decisions based, often, on financial considerations."Cassel insists that "doctors don'tlike turning away poor people— it's nota natural thing to do. And it isn't evenjust poor people. Insurance has become inadequate for almost everybody, because the insurance companies havetried to maximize their profits by cutting benefits, and so every companyhas a Swiss-cheese kind of policy — itpays for this but not for that— and thenevery year they change it. Multiply thatby 1,500 insurance companies and youhave a bureaucratic nightmare."In response, Cassel has become oneof the principal organizers of theBoston-based Physicians for a NationalHealth Care Program . Launched in January, 1989 with a core group of 1,200members (which has since grown tomore than 4,000), it is calling for theadoption of a plan, modeled after Canadian health care, that would abolishprivate health insurance. Instead, doctors, hospitals, and other medical providers would be paid on a fee schedulenegotiated with the government bymedical societies, and financedthrough taxes on individuals and employers. The plan's authors say it wouldcost no more than the current systembecause of savings on the administrative costs of health insurance.Recently, the American College ofPhysicians (Cassel serves on the ACPboard of regents) said in a publishedstatement that it would "carefully consider" the "possibility of a unified insurance mechanism." The statementfurther criticized the American MedicalAssociation's proposals for expandingMedicaid coverage and mandating employers to provide health insurance asshort-term, "Band-Aid" solutions."I think the fact that the ACP—which is a very mainstream, somemight even say stodgy, medical organization — has come out in favor of someof the basic principles of a single-payersystem is significant, "says Cassel, whoalso finds that more politicians and corporate leaders are supporting thesingle-payer system. "It's an odd alliance forming, but a persuasive one.""This is not," Cassel insists, "socialized medicine. You still have thehospitals and doctors working privately, but there's only a single insurancecompany, and that's run by the government and they set the rates. Theremight be some elective procedures thatwould be less available to the group atlarge, but more basic health care wouldbe available to everyone."At least from my perspective,"Christine Cassel concludes, "that's amoral choice that's correct to make-that really has to be made."become "a bureaucratic nightmare/'Photographs by DAVID TEPLICA • Text by MARY RUTH YOEWith crisp, almostsculpted features,David Teplica hasthe kind of facial structureyou might describe as classically proportioned. You'd bewrong. "Nobody fits the classic proportions, " declaresTeplica. "Real people rarelycome close."Teplica, a resident in plastic and reconstructive surgeryat the University of ChicagoMedical Center, is talkingabout canons of human proportion first developed byLeonardo da Vinci. According to Leonardo's scheme, themost beautiful faces couldbe divided vertically intothree equal sections. Fivecenturies later, Torontoresearchers Leslie Farkasand John Kolar comparedthose Renaissance measurements to the facial proportions of persons who metcontemporary standards ofbeauty. None of today's beautiful people measured up.While David Teplica shiesaway from the invidiouseffects of developing suchstandards ("We have to beTeplica taught an actress (top)to isolate different facialmucscle functions.

He's"known since the age of fivethat I was going to be a surgeon" (his mother is a nurse),and he "began painting andsculpting at age two" (hisfather is an architect). Photography came later, as a medicalstudent at Dartmouth.Then, while taking anelective in plastic surgery atthe University of SouthernCalifornia, he met ThomasKrizek, who was about tocome to Chicago, to head theMedical Center's plastic surgery division (today, he chairsthe surgery department).Encouraged by Krizek, Teplicaapplied to Chicago and wasaccepted. He completed thegeneral-surgery portion of hisresidency in 1988.Instead of beginning thetwo-year residency needed toqualify as a plastic surgeon,David Teplica did somethingthat, he admits, "almostsmacked of heresy." WithKrizek's blessing, he took twoyears off to study photogra-22phy. He put together a photography portfolio that wonhim a trustees' scholarship tothe School of the Art Instituteof Chicago, and this spring,he received an M.F. A. degreein photography.Among the works at theMaster's Thesis exhibition at the School ofthe Art Institute this springwere six pairs of portraits ofidentical twins. The portraitsrepresented only a fraction ofthe thousands of images which Teplica, aided by a ten-person crew of technicians,photographers, and twinenthusiasts, gathered lastAugust during the national"Twins Days Festival," heldannually in Twinsburg, Ohio.With support from theprofessional photographydivision of Eastman Kodakand the Center for Study ofMultiple Birth (a researchconsortium affiliated withNorthwestern University),Teplica's group worked undera large circus tent, photo graphing 84 sets of identicaltwins and three sets of identical triplets.Teplica hopes that thephotos will help determine"how much variance in facialstructure can occur, evenwhen genetics and environment are the same." Almostall the twin sets photographed at Twinsburg hadbeen reared together andso are "standardized fornature and nurture."Teplica's picture-takingwas also as free of variance ashe could make it. "The distances between the subjectand the camera, the subjectand the ground, the subjectand the light, were all standardized." The film "camefrom the same emulsion lot.We had an agreement withRobin Color Laboratories inCincinnati to do the processing, and they ran all of ourwork through at one time,with one batch of chemistry."To go with the photographs—six views of eachtwin, shot at regulationmedical angles to provideinformation on major anatomical landmarks — each twinprovided demographicinformation and medicalhistories. "We were veryinterested in anything thathappened to the face-injuries, traumas, lesions."Although the project is"just getting under way" (thissummer, he began digitizingthe images as a prelude tocomputer analysis), Teplicahopes that his study willeventually have some clinicalrelevance, perhaps even providing "some usable guidelines or numbers for plasticsurgeons." The study mayalso help determine moreprecisely the percentage ofso-called identical twins whoare really "mirror twins"—twins who have opposite-sidedness.David Teplica expects tocontinue to make images thatcombine medicine and art."I'm not interested in photography that is strictly for the medical record," he says earnestly. "Medical imagery hasbeen a neglected medium forthe benefit of the public, andthat's unfortunate. Images canbe very strong movers— muchmore than words."Over the next fewmonths, he will have a chanceto put theory into practice.He'll work with Dr. LawrenceGottlieb of the Medical Center's Burn Unit to mount anational public awarenesscampaign aimed at decreasingthe incidence of childhood1990burn injuries and deaths. Asthe photographer, he doesn'twant to create "an imagethat's stark and clinical, thatshocks by the graphic qualityof the wound."Instead, he's producingphotographs like "an imageof a child completely wrappedin bandages, being cradled bythe nurse." By "drawingviewers into the traditionalrepresentation of mother andchild, " David Teplica argues,he'll be using art history tomake a medical point. Identical twins aren't, aspairing left profiles (opposite)shows; in each case one imageis "flopped" to produce thefacing portraits.

Each starred in Hollywood filmsabout sexual doubles and sexualmasquerades.The list could be greatly extended,of course, not merely into the realmsof television and comic books, butthrough the great religious mythologies of the world. What is it that makesthe theme so compelling, so enduring?Why is this story told over and overagain, throughout history, all over theglobe? To what deep human concernsdoes it respond?These stories are all variations onthe more basic theme of human identity. The sexual double is, however, themost compelling form of this image,perhaps because the sexual act is in itself the most "doubling" and "undou-bling" of acts. That is, there are all sortsof reasons, sexual and non-sexual, foran individual to proliferate personae;but in the sexual act, the opposite happens. Two become one, as the double(the couple) coalesces into the one"beast with two backs," as Shakespeare put it. The myths of sexual doubles represent this tension between theurge to merge and the urge to diverge.In addition to the two basic stories—sexual masquerades (in which awoman secretly or magically replacesanother woman in a man's bed, or a manreplaces another man in this way) andsexual doubles (in which a woman secretly or magically gets another womanto replace her in a man's bed, or a mandoes this)— many further permutationsare produced by change of sex, eitherrealistic (masquerading as someone ofthe other sex) or magical (transformation into someone of the other sex).These themes constitute a kind ofErecto-set of prefabricated pieces,which various cultures use to constructtheir particular tales.The earliest narrative version of thestory of the sexual double that I knowoccurs in the Rg Veda, composed in Sanskrit in northwest India, c. 1200-1000B.C.E., and is retold in later texts:Saranyu, the wife of the sun,could not stand his embrace; after bearing him twins (Yama, theking of the dead, and his sister),she abandoned him, leaving inher place an identical dark shadow of her self (Chaya), who alsobore him twins (Manu, the ancestor of the human race, and his sister). The sun discovered the substitution when the stepmotherwas cruel to Saranyu's children.{RgVeda 10.72)The connection between Manu—that is to say, Mankind— and the sexualdoubles continues in the later versionsof the myth. These stories seem to besaying that we, the descendants ofManu, are the children of the image,children of illusion, maya, not the children of the real thing. It is quite clearthat this is a deeply religious story, notmerely (or not even primarily) a storyabout men and women, or parents andchildren, but a story about appearanceand reality, and about the nature of therelationship between human beingsand the divine.This theme is not merely Indo-European. The Book of Genesis in theHebrew Bible tells of both sexual doubles and sexual masquerades. The substitution of Leah for Rachel in the bed ofJacob is a fine example of a sexual doubling. Later in Genesis, there is a sexualmasquerade which has all the details ofthe theme of the wife who tricks heradulterous husband (though here it isher father-in-law):Tamar was promised in marriage to Judah's son Shelah, butJudah did not give her to him.Then Tamar masqueraded as awhore, veiling her face; Judah didnot recognize her; he took herand, unknowingly, impregnatedher; she took his signet ring andbracelets and staff as a pledge,and later, when he was about tohave her burnt for being "withchild by whoredom," she produced the signet, bracelets, andstaff to prove to him that he himself was the one who had madeher pregnant. (Gen. 38. 12-26)The fact that Judah wishes to haveTamar burnt, an unusual punishmentin the Hebrew Bible, may indicate thatthis story came originally from India.Shakespeare had access both to thebiblical versions of the (perhaps Indian)theme and to more directly Indian versions, that came from India throughIslam to Italy and Spain, and hence intoEnglish literature. Shakespeare used27A // theatre being masquerade, plays aboutmasquerades have built into them a surrealdouble level on which any good playwrightcan capitalize.his double characters, who keep mistaking one another for the wrong people, to create a kind of human punor literalization of the metaphor of"blind lust."The brilliance of the Shakespeareanvariants is a result not only of Shakespeare's genius, and of his unerringtaste in folklore, but also of the genre.All theatre being masquerade, playsabout masquerades have built intothem a surreal double level on whichany good playwright can capitalize. InShakespeare's time, these permutations were further complicated by thefact that the parts of women wereplayed by men, since sexual transformation is a sub-motif of many of themyths.The plot of All's Well That EndsWell seems to have been taken from the story of Mula-deva in The Ocean of Story, amedieval Sanskrit text:A Brahman named Muladevamarried a woman and said to heron their wedding night, "I willWendy Doniger is the Mircea Eliade Professorof the History of Religions in the DivinitySchool and the Committee on Social Thought.Author of The Origins of Evil in HinduMythology; Dreams, Illusion and Other Realities; and Other Peoples' Myths,she is at work on a book about sexual doubles. desert you and go far away." Tothis she replied, "I too am resolved, for my part, that a son ofmine by you shall bring you backagain." When they had madethese promises, she went tosleep, "with her face turnedaway, " and the man put his ringon her finger while she wasasleep. Then he went back to hisnative city, Ujjain.When she awoke and foundthe ring, with his name on it, sheresolved to follow him to hishometown. She pretended to goon a pilgrimage, went to Ujjain,and established herself as a courtesan, but she turned away all hersuitors. Muladeva became curious, and, as he later said (it is hewho tells the story), "I enteredand saw my wife, whom I did notrecognize, owing to her being disguised as a courtesan. But sheknew me again Then I passedthe night with that wife of mine,who was the most beautiful woman in the world, and I became soattached to her that I could notleave the house in which she wasstaying. She, too, was devoted tome, and never left my side until,after some days, the blackness ofthe tips of her breasts showed thatshe was pregnant. She thenforged a summons from the king, and left me; I did not follow her,though deeply in love with her, asI supposed that she was not herown mistress."She gave birth to a son, andwhen he was twelve years old hewas teased for his bastardy; hismother told him that his father'sname was Muladeva, that he haddeserted her and gone to Ujjain.She told him the whole story, andthe son resolved to bring his father back a captive. With cleverriddles, the boy tricked Muladevainto being his slave and took himback to his mother, who said,"My husband, my promise hastoday been made good: I have hadyou brought here by a son of minebegotten by you." (Chapter 124)The son's active role in capturing hisabsent father makes this story, toldfrom the son's point of view, a variant ofthe Oedipal (and Homeric) myth of theboy who seeks his true but unknown father (who is usually, though not here, anoble double of the boy's apparentlylow-born father).Muladeva does not recognize hiswife simply because he cannot mentally process the fact that his wife is a courtesan; no other reason is given. Yet heknows that his "courtesan" is pregnantbecause he sees her nipples darken— asharply observed, earthy fact that is,with much else, jettisoned in the European retellings.Boccaccio retold this story in The Decameron (it is the ninth story told on thethird day). It is generally assumed thatShakespeare based ^IZZ's Well That EndsWell on the Boccaccio story that hefound in English translation in WilliamPaynter's 1566 compendium of stories(though Shakespeare surely knew theHebrew Bible story of Tamar as well).In Shakespeare's retelling, the heroine, Helena, is rejected by her husband, Bertram, who swears, "Whenthou canst get the ring upon my finger,which never shall come off, and showme a child begotten of thy body that Iam father to, then call me husband: butin such a 'then' I write a 'never'"(3.2.56). When Bertram falls in lovewith an unmarried girl named Diana inFlorence, Helena goes to Florence onthe pretext of making a pilgrimage,finds Diana and persuades her to lether, Helena, take Diana's place in herassignation with Bertram; that night,Helena becomes pregnant by Bertram,gets the ring from him, and eventuallyT he eroticism of not being really seen is an element of all of these myths. When the lights areout, or one is wearing the magic ring, or is justdisguised, the other person is blind.forces him to take her back by presenting him with the child and the ring.In the Italian (and Shakespearean)retelling of Muladeva 's tale, the identifying factor is not simply the boy'smere existence (and his uncanny physical resemblance to his father) but alsohis mother's possession of the father'sring. In the Indian tale, the ring revealsthe identity of the father to the motherat the start, but in the English retelling,it is used at the end, to reveal to the father the fact that he is the father andthat his wife is not only the mother butalso his mistress.Sexual masquerades continue toanimate the English theatre, and European literature in general, long afterShakespeare, and the bed trick isperhaps best known from Mozart's TheMarriage of Figaro. Nineteenth-centuryEnglish literature also teems with doubles that are simultaneously metaphysical and sexual, such as Robert LouisStevenson's The Strange Tale of Dr. fekylland Mr. Hyde, in which the metaphysicaldouble of the ancient myths is the Satanic soul, while the sexual double nowappears (particularly after the impact ofFreud) as the repressed self.Oscar Wilde's The Picture of DorianGray is, like the Stevenson novel, ahighly metaphysical myth. One personsplits into two— not, this time, a goodperson and an evil person, but a body(captured in the flesh) and a soul (captured by art). The novel presents,among other things, a powerful argument for the existence of the soul. Thesoul, usually invisible (and sometimestherefore thought not to exist), is herereified in the mirroring portrait, and wecan see that it does in fact exist.Wilde also plays upon the metaphysical problem of appearance and reality. As Dorian Gray himself remarks,"It is only shallow people who do notjudge by appearances. The true mystery of the world is the visible, not theinvisible." And he plays upon the metaphysical problems of change and deathand immortality: what, if anything, isreal? What, if anything, lasts forever?We may see the mythsof both sexual doubleand sexual masquerade in psychologicalterms, as stories inwhich intolerable conflict leads to splitting and doubling. The stories of doubles regard splitting as the solution.The self is unable to accept the identity of some aspect of the personality (thewoman cannot believe she has beenraped, Dr. Jekyll will not accept that it ishe who has done what Hyde has done)and so splits it off into another personality: "I am not that person."But the stories of sexual masquerades regard splitting not as the solutionbut as the problem. The self does notwish to be regarded as only partial, andwishes to play more roles than thosethat the partner would allow (the wifewishes to be both the mother and themistress) and so slips into the role ofanother personality: "I am both thisperson and that person." And many ofthese stories express simultaneouslythe point of view of both the personbeing doubled and the person doingthe doubling (the masquerader) .The eroticism of not being reallyseen is an element of all of these myths.When the lights are out, or one is wearing the magic ring, or is just disguised,the other person is blind. But sometimes, the other person is blind even inthe light.Traditional concepts of marriage, ortraditional marriage partners, do notvalue individualism as an element oferoticism as do romantic concepts oflove or romantic partners. The officialpartner seeks not the personality butthe persona (or indeed, the body) ofthe woman in bed. In this impersonalcontext, the visual element of sexual love predominates, while other moreintimate factors such as actions, words,or smells don't count. If the impostorlooks like the other person, the bedtrick works.This is also a macho male fantasy,an anti-romantic locker-room fantasy—"Put a bag over her head" — a modernvariant of the themes of blinding andbeheading, or the veiling of the woman,like Tamar. It is a way of gaining powerover a woman by implying that no oneparticular woman has power over aman. Such episodes express the viewthat the body is more important thanthe soul, that the visible form (thebody) is the person, and the invisibleform (the soul) is not. To put a bag overthe head of a woman or a man is to denythe power of the individual, to reducesexuality to pure animality.A bag is quite literally placed overthe head of Bertram's evil alter ego,Parolles, in All's Well That Ends Well.Parolles' own friends blindfold him totrick him, and when he thinks he hasbeen captured by the enemy he betrayshis friends who are, unbeknownst tohim, present. In the very same way,Bertram, blinded by the darkness andthinking that he has been "captured"by a foreign woman in Florence, betrayshis own wife, who is, unbeknownst tohim, present.But if the husband is blind, the lover—the unofficial, erotic partner— does29Freud pointed out that whenever two people makelove, there are four people in bed— those presentand those fantasized. In myths of sexual masquerade, there are hundreds of people in the bed.see the difference. Surrogates workonly on the people who are not erotical-ly attached, but are merely officially orphysically attached, to the one who creates the surrogate. The basic tension isbetween physical love, which is thesame for all objects and subjects (in thedark, all cats are gray), and romanticlove, which singles out a single personas the only one you can love. Differentcultures, of course, view this tension indifferent ways.The emphasis on the physicalidentity of doubles is reallyan argument against the visual. It demonstrates that weare wrong to judge by appearances. When two people lookalike, we are forced to distinguish between them by searching for more subtle, more profound, signs of identity;the myth teaches us the danger of goingby appearance alone.Thus, in traditional versions of themyth of the sexual double, such.as thetale of the wife of the sun and her shadow, and even in modern versions likeDorian Gray, all that binds the doublestogether is their appearance; everything else— feelings, personality— is different. But in sexual masquerades suchas All 's Well and in other traditional talesof disguise where the wife masquerades as the harlot (the tale of Tamar, forinstance), the masquerader, in her own view, really is the same, but looks different. These are more than two variantson a theme; they are two very differentapproaches to the role of vision in human identity.The ring that makes one invisiblemakes possible the fantasy of otherpeople's blindness, which is what notbeing seen oneself amounts to; humanblindness is expressed on the magicalor mythical level as invisibility. Themagic ring is the symbol of invisibilityand forgetfulness, but the ring is alsoused as the symbol of identity andmemory, both of which are subtly interrelated with the theme of sexual illusion. This second ring (like the ring inAll's Well That Ends Well, or Judah's signetring) unmasks the masquerade of illusion and forgetfulness even as the ringof invisibility lays it on.These stories prompt a modernreader to ask an inevitable question:How could it be possible that someonecould sleep with two different women,or two different men, on several occasions and never tell the difference?First of all, as we have seen, the onewho cannot tell the difference is not thetrue lover. Second, the object of themasquerade may half suspect and halfnot suspect that the person who seems tobe the wife or the husband is not reallythe legitimate partner. We may see thisphenomenon in the story of the returnof Martin Guerre, where the woman did indeed know that the surrogate wasfalse, but preferred him to her realhusband. Third, many myths suggestsupernatural or unnatural reasons forthe clouding of reason— drunkenness,a curse, a magic potion, a ring of invisibility or forgetfulness, the interventionof a god, and so on, resorting to religion, ex machina, to extricate the plotfrom a human tangle. And in manymyths of this genre, the masqueradetakes place on the first night, so thatthere is no basis for comparison.But the final reason why the mancannot tell his (forbidden) beloved fromthe (permitted) woman who impersonates her is because they are in fact thesame person. Only the myth preservesthe fantasy that accompanies the act,the fantasy that there are two separatewomen there. It was Freud, after all,who pointed out long ago that whenever two people make love, there arefour people in bed— those present, andthose fantasized . In the myths of sexualmasquerade, there are hundreds ofpeople in the bed.When, each for his or her own reason, the man and the woman close theireyes to an intolerable reality, each seesin the dark the myth that makes the reality tolerable. To this degree, all of thetales of the sexual surrogate, even therealistic ones, are mythological in thebroadest sense of the term: they imagine what cannot ever be in real life.The fantasy that the self that nowhas a double was once whole might beviewed as the solution to human loneliness: "Once upon a time I was whole,and I long to recapture that time." Thisis the fantasy that Plato captured inAristophanes' myth of the androgynein the Symposium, a myth to which theFrench psychoanalyst Lacan has recently returned in his Ecrits.On the other hand, the fantasy thatthe self now has a double might be thesolution to a present tension within themultiple parts of the personality: "Icannot bear to believe that the personwho does all of these things— or certainof these things— is really me."Finally, if we accept both of thesedesires as valid, and as together forming a paradox, we might see the myth ofthe sexual double as resolving— or atleast expressing, which is perhaps allthat we have a right to hope for— bothproblems simultaneously: providingboth access to and distance from a sexuality that one both longs for and longs,guiltily, to disavow.30 »0EXPOSITIONBruno Bettelheim and the Uses of FreedomBy Bill LazarusBruno Bettelheim dead at 86. Psychoanalyst, philosopher, author,curmudgeon. Also, my best Collegeprofessor.It was the fall of 1969 at the University of Chicago. Bettelheim at the timewas known among my peers for advocating the draft of college students soVietnam wouldn't be reserved just forthe poor. He decided to teach an undergraduate class. With typical modesty, he called it, "UnderstandingHuman Behavior."The readings focused on Freud,under whom Bettelheim had studied.The class became a lesson in freedomand tyranny. Bettelheim 's manner ofteaching fit the theme, combining hisautocratic presence with his insistence that his students think, andchallenge him.The first day. Some 120 students inthe lecture hall, by far my largest classat the U of C. Bettelheim started talking about Freud. Then he noticedAmy, a quiet, shy girl, whose mindseemed to be wandering."You! Yes, you!" Bettelheim shouted in his deep German-Jewish accent,finger pointing right at Amy. "Are youbooooored?"At that point, Amy wasn't."Good. I can't teach when students are bored. If any of you arebored, tell me. We'll find somethingelse to talk about."Once, when Bettelheim was in themidst of one of his many remarkablestories, a student started to walk out."Stop! You can't leave while I'mtelling a story. Before or after, yes.But not during a story. Stories arewhat you are going to remember fromthis class."Bettelheim was right.Some of the stories were apocryphal. One of my favorites concernsBill Lazarus, AB'72, JD'84, reports for theCasper (Wyoming) Star Tribune, in whichthis essay originally appeared. the rats of Philadelphia. He told it tous after advising that perhaps weshould drop out of school as he hadonce done."You know, " he boomed out, hisaccent especially heavy, "one timethey took all the rats of the city of Philadelphia, and they ran them throughsome mazes. Then they took thebrightest rats— the rats that could runthrough the mazes the fastest— andthey ran them through some moremazes. Then they took the most intelli-"Stop! You can't leavewhile I'm telling astory, " Bettelheim tolda student about to walkout during a lecture."Stories are what youare going to rememberfrom this class. "gent rats, the cream of the cream of therats of the city of Philadelphia, andthey put them out on the streets. Doyou know what happened? Do youknow what happened?"Bettelheim was agitated now. Hislong bony finger shook as it movedacross the class, pointing at each oneof us. Silence. We were glued."They all died! Rats aren't meantfor mazes!"One true story concerned a 12-year-old boy named, let's say, Dan. Asa very young child, Dan had seemedquite bright, as would befit the son oftwo U of C professors. But about thetime Dan's parents decided to teachhim to read, he turned dumb. Nothingseemed to rekindle Dan's intelligence.He stayed illiterate. Feeble-minded— so unlike his brilliant older brotherwho had died at age 12 in a car crash,before Dan was born.When Dan turned 12, he began tohave a nightmare of coming upon ahuge wall, which only grew bigger ashe tried to find a way around it. Dan'snightmare persisted. His parents tookhim to see Bettelheim at the SoniaShankman Orthogenic School fordisturbed children.Dan drew stick pictures. A housewith big windows and no door. A facewith big eyes and no mouth. Bettelheim suspected Dan's dumbnesswas a fake. Then came time to leave.Dan couldn't find the door. Bettelheimbecame convinced since "even a dogcan find the door he came in."Bettelheim worked with Dan, andthe nightmare turned horrendous.Soon, Dan was finding his way aroundthe wall, only to come upon anotherwall. Eventually, the two walls cametogether to crush him."Now, what was Dan's problem?I'll give an A to any student who cantell his problem."The guesses came rapid fire. Maybe his parents pushed him too hard.Maybe Dan just turned inward whenhe couldn't match their expectations.Maybe Dan was afraid of failure. Maybe he had an eyesight problem, andone failure led to another.With a wave of the hand, Bettelheim dismissed the speculation.Then one student suggested that maybe Dan was scared of being hurt likehis older brother."Hurt? Hurt! " bellowed Bettelheim. "What do you mean hurt?Crushed between two walls. You callthat being hurt? He was scared of being destroyed!"Then Bettelheim provided moreclues to show the student was on themark, despite the feeble word choice.Dan's deceased older brother also hadbeen named Dan, and the big brotherhad been crushed between the frontand the back seats of the wrecked car.After treatment, the living Dan31snapped back and eventually earneda Ph.D. from Harvard.Henry, my favorite class radical,sitting in the back with leather hat andfeet propped up on the seat beforehim, removed his hat and guffawed."Why do you laugh?" Bettelheimasked Henry."It's a joke.""Have you read 'Freud's Psycho-"Then, they took themost intelligent rats, "Bettelheim said, "thecream of the cream ofthe rats of the city ofPhiladelphia, and theyput them out on thestreets. Do you knowwhat happened?"pathology of Everyday Life' as youwere assigned? No? If you had, youwould know that jokes are veryimportant.""But I still don't believe it. Thatstory is too far-fetched.""Well, young man, that may be so.But do you realize this is the first timeyou have taken off your hat in thisclassroom?"Bettelheim, as did Freud, insistedit is impossible to pick a random number. Students would provide him tendigits, and with a few questions aboutfamily background and a bit of addition, subtraction, multiplication, anddivision, Bettelheim would provide anexplanation of why that number waschosen. I still wonder whether thenumbers magic was simple psychoanalytic brilliance or had roots in a possible exposure to the mystical rabbinictradition of numerology.Bettelheim spent a year in theconcentrations camps at Buchenwaldand Dachau. Sometimes he spoke ofthe camps. He spoke of people beingable to survive by focusing on something beyond themselves, by staying mentally independent even when theywere physically forced to submit. Bettelheim said he survived throughstudying behavior in the camps.He said that people who sacrificedtheir autonomy in an effort to livesuffered a spiritual as well as a physical death. But those who retained theirindependence of mind at least survived spiritually while they lived.In early March, weakened by a stroke and in a retirement home, Bettelheim took some sleeping pills. Hewas discovered with a plastic bag overhis head. Even in death, Bettelheimexercised freedom.With this issue, the University ofChicago Magazine introduces "Exposition," a department that will featurethe voices of Chicago alumni, faculty,and students.32 90ALUMNI CHRONICLETaking the high road: a bagpipe band sets the pace for the Calvacade of Classes.Reunion with a DifferenceLed by a bagpipe band, hundredsof alumni— marching behind bannersannouncing their class or professionalschool affiliation— paraded around thecentral quad, down University Avenue, and into Rockefeller Chapel onSaturday, June 2, for what promises tobe a new tradition: a Calvacade ofClasses leading to a ReunionAssembly.The chapel program featured a talkby President Hanna H. Gray, presentation of, student and alumni awardwinners, and music by the MotetChoir. Afterwards, the participantsproceeded in less martial fashion toIda Noyes Hall, where they joinedother alumni, family, and friends foran indoor/outdoor picnic. Saturday also saw the successfulintroduction of the Uncommon Core.Billed as an addition to the featuredlectures that have been popular inyears past, the Uncommon Core presented nine professors who offeredclasses— complete with reading assignments picked up the day before—to returning alumni. A Sundaymorning cruise, pointing out Chicago's changing skyline, was also new—and a success.Officially, 1,373 alumni and guestsreturned to campus for Reunion '90,along with 225 seniors who claimedthe "New Alumni" badges that provided them with free entry to theAlumni Picnic and Reunion lectures.That's a 27-percent increase overlast year's figures, and planners attributed the increase to several factors. First, two College anniversaryreunion classes (the 15th and 30th)were added, making it the first time inmany years that every fifth-year anniversary had been celebrated. The LawSchool also added two reunion classes. In addition, six Graduate Schoolof Business reunions were celebratedduring the weekend, bringing back atotal of 125 alumni and 48 guests.Two of the College classes set records for percentage of participation:the Class of 1940 brought back 122classmates— 23.4 percent of the class—for its 50th reunion, while the Class of1965 had 100 returning classmates, or26.5 percent of the class.At the Friday night class dinners,several classes announced their reunion giving to the University's1989-90 annual fund. With cash giftsand pledges, the reunion classes hadcontributed more than $400,000 inunrestricted giving to the University.Alumnus of the First Rank"The University has given me thechance for so many opportunities, "Leon Jacobson, MD'39, told the audience gathered in Rockefeller Chapelfor the Reunion Assembly, as he accepted the Alumni Medal, the University's highest alumni honor.When Jacobson, the Joseph Regen-stein Professor Emeritus in Biologyand Medical Science, entered the Medical School after teaching school inNorth Dakota, it was the beginning ofa 55-year association, including service as medical officer for physicistsworking on the Manhattan Project, aschairman of the Department of Medicine, and as dean of the Division ofBiological Sciences.One of the world's leading hema-tologists, Jacobson was among the firstresearchers to demonstrate the spectacular therapeutic effects of nitrogenmustard in treating Hodgkin's disease—work that was in many respects thebeginning of chemotherapy for malignant diseases. He also showed thatshielding the spleen of animals whoreceived lethal irradiation protectedthem from death— a finding with enormous implications for transplantationbiology and medicine.In honoring Leon Jacobson, theUniversity joined many other organizations who have recognized his accomplishments, including the American Radium Society, the AmericanCollege of Physicians, and the Societyof Contemporary Medicine andSurgery.A Love Affair with the UniversityIn accepting the 1990 Alumni Service Medal "for extraordinary andextended service to the University, "Edward Rosenheim, AB'39, AM'46,PhD'53, displayed the wit and charmthat have been hallmarks of his University career.Rosenheim, the David B. and ClaraE . Stern Professor Emeritus in English, told the Rockefeller Chapel audience, "The award pays tribute to mylove affair with the University." Thataffair, he said, began when he was anundergraduate— struck by "puppylove," and, he noted, "the Universityof Chicago, being somewhat my senior, was less demonstrative."That didn't stop Rosenheim from Leading the Alumni Calvacade: Ned Rosenheim and Leon Jacobson.giving his all as a scholar (an authorityon the life and works of JonathanSwift), teacher (winner of the Quantrell Award for College teaching), andeditor (co-editor of Modem Philologyfor 20 years).

He is a WatchingTiananmenLee Feigon likens the mood in Beijingprior to the Tiananmen Square massacre "to one of those horror flicks whereyou wait and wait for the culminatingscene to happen, and it doesn't happen, and you relax, thinking maybe itwill be okay. . . and then it happens."Feigon, AM'69, AM'70, was inChina during the 1989 student uprising while on sabbatical from ColbyCollege, where he chairs the Department of East Asian Studies. His bookChina Rising: The Meaning of Tiananmen,published by Ivan R. Dee in May, combines eyewitness accounts with anhistorical perspective that attempts toexplain why the Chinese studentmovement failed.Feigon believes most of the movement's original student leaders wereactually Marxist stalwarts "who feltdeeply about the party and were upsetby the corruption and bureaucracythey saw undermining it." These students, Feigon says, had firm connections to high-level reformers withinthe party.Along with the political movement, Feigon recalls "an incrediblecultural transformation among thestudents. Instead of Mao jackets, theywore jeans and hot pants. Everywhereyou'd see them strumming guitars,strolling around in couples, or avidlydebating issues, " while in the streets,the urban toughs "sold T-shirts, dope,even pornography." Feigon, who protested the Vietnam War as a Berkeleyundergraduate and later took partin the 1970 storming of the U of CAdministration Building, felt an exhilarating sense of deja vu— mixed withforebodings.By the time they had successfullyconcluded their historic April 27march, unchallenged by governmentforces, the students "had achieved alot of their agenda, which was to openup the press, to begin a democraticmovement." At that moment of victory, when students didn't call off further demonstrations, "what they werein effect doing was challenging thegovernment to dissolve itself, " saysFeigon. The party's hardline conservatives—terrified by rumors of militarysupport for the students' side-decided to crack down.At this point, the student leaderscould have taken decisive action tooverthrow the government, but backeddown instead. In fact, says Feigon,even the most radical Beijing students Witness to history: Lee Feigon, AM'69, AM'70.had gradually retreated to their campuses by the time the army marchedon Tiananmen Square. "The ones inthe square when the tanks rolled werethe turkeys from the provinces whocame to get in on the excitement-some had just gotten off the train, infact, when the tanks were rolling."He muses that the choice of thestudent leaders to back down "wasprudent in a sense. Not that the crackdown wasn't horrible, but it mighthave been a lot worse if they'd attempted a real revolution— in otherwords, if they'd done what [protestors]did in Romania."In retrospect, Feigon faults thestudent leaders for failing to absorbtwo important lessons from the Cultural Revolution: "The first is that inorder to effect real change, studentscannot depend on those already inpower." The second is "that the partyorganization responds viciously whenits power is threatened.""In the end they simply waited forthe elders and their henchmen to actagainst them," says Feigon. "Whatthis demonstrates is the students'abiding faith in government authority.Although they were rebels, thestudents spent their time trying toprove they were not counterrevolutionaries, rather than attempting to figure out how they might builda new government."— TO.1N» ¦ ' ^< . ;JPatrick Marshall, student in the College; SusanMcCauley; Joette Knapik Trofimuk, AB'59, AM'61;Christina Trofimunk O'Connor, AB'90; NicholasTrofimuk; Joseph McCauley.f /... f I iVkLynn Jones; Andrew Jones, MBA90; Edward G.

Joseph Yost, PhD'87, is anNIH postdoctoral fellow at Berkeley. Statue StatisticsAs a Temple University undergraduate in the 1950s, Eleanor Guralnick,AM'67, PhD'70, took a survey coursein art history. At one point, her professor compared two statues— an Egyptian male figure and a Greek kouroi—pointing out the direct relationshipsbetween the two, "despite the factthat 2,000 years separated them."After graduation, Guralnick married, had two children, and spent sixyears as a social worker in Ithaca, NewYork. But, she says, "the one thing Ihad always wanted to be was an archaeologist, " and in the 1960s, whenher family moved to Chicago, sheenrolled in the University's program inAncient Art and Archaeology.Once again, she was confrontedby photos of the same two statues.But this time, the professor (nowemeritus), Robert Scranton, AM'34,PhD'39, explained that the link between the two statues— and betweenEgyptian and Greek archaic art, ingeneral— was "far from an establishedfact," Guralnick recalls. "Indeed, itwas a question that had been troublingart historians since the 1830s." For herdissertation topic, Scranton suggestedthat she tackle the problem.Guralnick knew that the Egyptianshad carved their statues according to awell-worked-out canon of proportions: "I supposed that if you measured the Greek statues very carefullyand consistently, you could see whether they were carved according to thesame canon. If they were, there'd bea clear relationship."In Greece, Guralnick systematically measured the nine completekouroi statues, made during the seventh century B.C. E., then known tosurvive. When she compared the measurements to the well-documentedEgyptian canons of proportion, theywere persuasively close.Guralnick says that her dissertation was controversial— primarilybecause of its methods. "A few professors had a reluctance to see this as arthistorical research." And, if she weregoing to rely on numbers, the samecritics added, shouldn't she checkthem through the U of C's (then newly-acquired) mainframe computer? Infact, she had sought a University grantto support computer analysis of herfindings, but it hadn't come through.Soon after receiving her doctorate, Guralnick approached WilliamKruskal, the Ernest DeWitt BurtonDistinguished Service Professor inStatistics, for help in doing such Making comparisons: Eleanor Guralnick,AM'67, PhD'70:an analysis. Through Kruskal, shemet Stella Green Machado, SM'70,PhD'76, an advanced statistics student and archaeology buff.The fact that she had measurements from only nine statues, far fromwhat statisticians call a representativesample, presented a challenge. WithKruskal's input, Machado devised asolution that Guralnick believes wasthe first application of cluster analysisfor an archaeological problem. Theresults confirmed her conclusions tothe point where "the problem is nolonger defined as a problem."As an independent archaeologyresearcher, Eleanor Guralnick travelsthe world measuring Greek statues.(In the past four years, she has studiedmore than 50 statues in museums inGreece, Europe, and the U.S.) She haslectured at dozens of universities,including Oxford, Yale, Stanford,Gottingen, and Cambridge. Since1972, she has been an officer of theArchaeological Institute of America,including a term as president.These days, Guralnick does herown computer analysis. She creditsher husband, Sidney— a chaired professor and former provost at the Illinois Institute of Technology— withoriginating a statistical method to"profile" the statues by calculatingtheir "z-scores." Then, she says, "Byputting graphs of two or three statueson a single sheet of paper, you cancompare them to each other— and toa hypothetical, perfectly averagehuman being."Making those comparisons is important. "Among the questions nowbeing asked," says Guralnick, "iswhether Greek sculpture representsreal human beings, or whether it transforms observations of reality to createan artistic ideal? If so, how do thoseideals differ from human reality, andchange through time?"— TO.49Cassandra Xanthos, AB'90; James Xanthos, AM'71.Russell De Yong, MBA 54; Mardelle De Young; James F.dejong, AM' 66; Peter de Jong, AB'90; Sheila dejong;Anne-Marie L. dejong; Robert De Young.=S^-S«^Charles Simon, AM'48, PhD'56; Arthur Daronatsy,AB'39, AM'41; Linda Simon, AB'90; Donna Simon;Daniel Simon.

The move had beenunder consideration since 1915, whenTaylor had reluctantly agreed to theplan, as a way to improve the school'sfinances (negotiations broke off duringWorld War I).About the time the University setup camp on the Midway, GrahamTaylor, a social gospel minister, hadfounded a West Side settlement, Chicago Commons. There, he'd offeredpractical training to Chicago socialworkers. By 1903, Taylor was workingwith University president and fellowminister William Rainey Harper tocreate a center offering extensioncourses for social workers. A yearlater, backed by the sociology department, the center became part of theUniversity.But in 1905 Harper lost his enthusiasm for the program and withdrew theUniversity's support. Why the changein heart? Some have suggested personality clashes between the two men,others that Harper grew uneasy withTaylor's pragmatic orientation.The training program continued,as part of the Chicago Commons.Then, in 1907, a grant from the RussellSage Foundation provided $10,000 foreach of five years— to begin a researchprogram. To direct that research, Taylor hired Julia Lathrop, a Hull Houseresident with vast settlement experience but little academic background.In turn, Lathrop recruited as her as sistant, Sophonisba Breckinridge,who was teaching in the University'sDepartment of Household Administration. Breckinridge was soonjoined by another woman with socialwork experience and a Chicago Ph.D.in economics, Edith Abbott.Taylor's program, restructured asthe Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy, set out on a new path, onethat worked to combine service andscholarship, requiring students to dofield work and a research thesis. From164 students in 1908-09, enrollmentshot up to 683 students a decade later.But when the Sage Foundationmoney ran out, finances grew shaky.By 1920, with Taylor vacationing,Breckinridge saw her chance to pushfor a solution to the money problems-while taking the school another steptoward greater professionalism andmore rigorous scholarship.On August 10, 1920, the Universityannounced the opening of a five-yearexperiment, "the new School of SocialService Administration, a departmentof the School of Commerce and Administration." Graham Taylor was not among the faculty. Instead, after closing out the affairs of his old school,he continued to work at the ChicagoCommons and the Chicago Theological Seminary.Although Taylor was gone, thecurriculum reflected his influence.Required courses and field work stillexposed students to professional practice. At the same time, the programhad a new emphasis on larger issuesof public policy and administration.With their students, Breckinridgeand Abbott began to prepare sourcematerials on a range of social problems. The school introduced the casemethod of study into its courses, andBreckinridge taught the country'sfirst course in public welfare administration, underscoring the school'semphasis on social work as publicresponsibility rather than privatelargesse.In 1923, its trial run over, theSchool of Social Service Administration gained official status as a graduateprofessional school of the University—the first school of social work to be partof a research university.56 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE/SUMMER 1990gl^¥i^li^li^l'^'l^¥^'lfe^l^¥^lt^l'M'ILUt|LU1I The University of ChicagoOffice of Continuing EducationFall 1990personal and professional study opportunitiesThe Returning Scholar & Graduate Student-at-Large ProgramsCan you read this?
