PRICEFIVE CENTS mt jnaroonVol. 1. No. 9. THE MAROON, TUESDAY. AUGUST 13, 1929AthenaeumTHE REVOLT OF YOUTHBy James T. FarrellThis younger generation of ours,which perpetrated such a flamingrevolution in the pages of Judge BenLindsey, is actually too droopilyemotional and too slouchily intel¬lectual for revolution. In brief thereis little revolt of modern youth,much less than there was in theyoung people of pre-war days.Before the universe was savedfor democracy and Morgan, hun¬dreds of young people set out tooverturn the social structure of theworld. They crowded into the Chi¬cago Coliseum, wept, shouted, yell¬ed, and sang “Onward ChristianColdiers,” as they marched, allmembers of Theodore’s Roosevelt’sarmy of the Lord. This might becontrasted with the support given A1Smith, a man with the same typeof a reform program as Roosevelt’s.Similarly, young men stood in din¬gy lecture halls ready to go to jailif they might distribute a few birthcontrol circular's.- They groanedand whooped and cheered for so¬cialism, child labor legislation, socialjustice. The air was full of causes,and the streets thronged with youngpeople carrying their torches.Most of us young people of todaywill have none of this. Our revoltis a rather sodden sexual anarch¬ism (probably no different fromthat of our fathers) and a deter¬mination to drink gin that tastesworse than varnish or Coffee Shop,coffee. The war not only destroy¬ed the spiritual heritage of theyoung men of 1910 and 12; it alsoruined ours. We are too close tothe lost causes of yesterday toespouse any new idealisms. Personslike Margaret Sanger, Emma Gold¬man, Woodrow Wilson, Big BillHaywood, Henry George,—theprophets and prophetesses of otheryears—are to us, merely the stim¬uli to a new epigram. These peo¬ple lost; we are afraid to lose sim¬ilarly.In a sense, we are victims of ourage, an era \hat is a curious mix¬ture of blind Normalcy and Insanity.Our alternatives are limited. Wemight either become part of the lead¬erless whirl into an unknown fu¬ture, or we might adopt an atti¬tude of aloof unconcern. That isto say, we can help to build templesof Progress that roar closer andcloser to the sun, or we can setout to drink ourselves to death inthe manner of an Ernest Heming¬way character. The momentum ofmodern industry is now too swiftfor alteration. It has carried “civi¬lization” beyond our control, a factwell illustrated in the maladjust¬ments of the hordes of the deper¬sonalized city dwellers. Tfle apparentdrift of the world into another andmore disastrous war is a second.Then also, modern youth is lead¬erless. Most of the older leadersare tired. Younger men, like LouisMumford, who might be an inspira¬tion speak in the voice of despair,moodily caressing their disillusion¬ment with beautiful phrases. Thecollege professors, who are ourteachers, give us a scientific tech¬nique and a handful of perishedideals. In a crisis, we are left . . .with the technique. RandolphBourne in one of his brilliant Sev¬en Arts essays, illustrated this truthpenetratingly, when he pointed outhow the young men, trained in uni¬versities that had accepted JohnDewey as a guiding spirit, succumb¬ed to the war spirit, and gave allthat they had ... a technical facility.In brief, I might say that this gen¬eration is helpless, palled with afutility. The same is somewhat trueof all men. But in other eras theyoung people could at least cherishthe brief illusion that they weregoing somewhere. This one can onlyconvince itself that it is going towork (generally a dull, and deper¬sonalized sort of spiritless work), orelse ... to hell. O’FALLON CASElManagers PublishDECIDES NOTHING Final Edition ofSAY ECONOMISTSUniversity ProfessorsHit Verdict InLocal JournalUndue importance has been at¬tached to the O’Fallon decision, inthe opinion of two University eco¬nomists, who declare that from thelegal point of view its implicationsare narrow and that its effect onrailroad rates will be comparaticelysmall.Publi«h ArticleThe effect of the decision of theUnited States Supreme Court in theO’Fallon case is discussed from boththe legal points of view in two ar¬ticles in the current issue of the“.Journal of Business” of the Uni¬versity of Chicago.Professor J. F. Christ, assistantprofessor of law in the school ofcommerce and administration writeson the legal aspects of the decision,while L. C. Sorrell, associate profes¬sor of transportation and communi¬cation in the school, writes on the ef¬fect the decision wil have on the rail¬ways.“Perhaps the real reason for theCourt’s decision is that its pride waspiqued by the Interstate CommerceCommission’s lecture on economics,”Professor Christ says, “in which itwas said that some of the Court’searlier reasoning upon determina¬tion of value has been in recentyears discarded.” In this regard, hecites the dissenting opinion of Jus¬tice Stone.“Decide* Nothing”—Christ“Whether the decision, as such issound or unsound,” Professor ChristContinues, “it presents one glaringdefect. It decides nothing, exceptthat the Commission’s order is wrong¬ly founded and void. “The obvious so¬lution of the difficulty of course, liesin amendment of the TransportationAct of Congress, which Congressmight do by simply providing mere¬ly that the Commission, in deter¬mining recapture values, shall givesuch weights as it may think fit toevery factor of value which is rele-(Contimietl on page 2) Summer ‘Maroon’This week’s issue of “The Ma¬roon” will be the last edition of thesummer. Although it was original¬ly planned to continue publicationuntil August 26 the editor and thebusiness manager, who constitute thewhole of this institution known as“The Maroon,” have deemed it mostexpedient to dispense with the Isisttwo issues—(and devote their entiretime to cinema and tennis).Disregarding the rule which pro¬hibits editorial comment in news col¬umn, “The Maroon” wishes to takethis opportunity to thank the pa¬trons who have made possible itsweekly publication since Thursday,June 20.Undertaken at that time as a pri¬vate venture its managers, Louis H.Engel, editor, and Earle M. Stocker,business manager, were exceptional¬ly dubious of whether or not cam¬pus interest was sufficient to main-1 tain some sort of a student periodI ical. The first issues were met withsuch hearty enthusiasm by the stu¬dent body that publication has beencontinued for the past nine weeks.The present summer edition of theMaroon is the first that has beensuccessfully consummated, and ifpossible it is planned that the prac¬tice will be continued in the follow¬ing summers.“Considering the fact that thesummer student body has in gen¬eral been out of touch with studentpublication work, the response to theiappeal for editorial assistance htsbeen most heartening. Although thesheet has in many respects fallenshort of the live standards maintain¬ed by “The Daily Maroon” during theother three quarters, I am satisfiedthat the summer edition has present¬ed campus news with some pretenseof adequacy, considering the handi¬caps under which the work has beendone,” commented Engel. Taft’s Famous Workshops MovedTo Make Way for.New BuildingsThe rambling collection of oldbarns, which has constituted Lo'radoTaft’s picturesque studio colony forthe last twenty years on Ellis Av¬enue just south of the Midway, hasfallen in the path of progress and isto be cleared away to make room forthe University’s new dormitories inthe course of two or three weeks.Only one of the buildings is stableenough to endure moving to the newlocation one block wei^, but this—the chief and original one of theold colony—is destined to sprout newwings “under the wilows” on Ingle-side Avenue. In addition to this theUniversity has already granted toiSculptor Taft the use of the brickstructure which stands on the corner.In the meantime the half dozenartists who have come to live andto work with Mr. Taft in his quaintcolony go placidly about their busi¬ness, occasionally lending a hand tothe assistants who are engaged inthe precarious task of transportingthe fragile plaster casts to the newlocation. Mr. Taft himself is justcompleting work on a new statute, aFigure of Education, which is toadorn the Hackley High School inMuskegon, Michigan, apparently un¬disturbed at the thought of the im¬pending removal.Though naturally loath to leaveSUMMER ISSUE OFALUMNI MAGAZINEAGAIN MAKES BOW Brigham AnnexesConsolation TitleA tale of thirty-four years ofstructural development of the Uni¬versity, from the four block squarecampus, bi decked solely with Cobbhall, to the present 100-acre hold¬ings on both sides of the Midway,features this month’s issue of the.University magazine, published bythe alumni council and recently is¬sued. In the care of J.

It is a community of scholars.The first duty of a university is to provide those scholarswith the means of life, which no university has yet ade¬quately done, and with the means of work.>(• * >(■“For the purpose of universities is not to providesome thousands of young people with a pleasant vacationfrom their families and agreeable postponement of thebusiness of earning a living. To the universities the na¬tion looks for men and women who have trained mindsand know how to use them; men and women who knowhow to think and are willing to do it. Through the fumb¬ling futilities of American education we shall yet pass tosomething new, native, and vital, superior to the educationof Europe, which now, perhaps through our ignorance ofit, sometimes strikes envy into our hearts. And from thethe crass commercialism, the narrow politics, the irreligionof contemporary affairs, we shall pass on as well, if wecan muster the intelligence for the task.”—From President Hutchin’s Convocs tion Address.* ¥ *In the main, the convocation address of Dr. Hutchins, ournew president, is an old story. We have heard it before: and wehave read of it in the writings of Cardinal Newman, AlexanderMeiklejohn, and Everett Dean Martin. We thoroughly agree withthe idea that a University should be a "community of scholars,”as Dr. Hutchins declared. Its purpose is to unsettle minds, to teachyoung people to think, to afford opportunities for intellectual de¬velopment.When Dr, Hutchins arrives here, and commences work in thefall ,he should have adequate opportunity of translating his addressinto action. The campus is a virgin field of unsettled minds. Mostof the students come here, and leave, good fellows, with all thegraces of a sophisticated club member. And the institution is ex¬panding rapidly, creating a depersonalized atmosphere It is ingrave danger of becoming a factory or a mill. Yearly, the contactbetween students and professors grows scantier. We also fear thatthe rapid expansion of our alma mater is going to create an admin¬istrative susceptibility to outside opinion and influence.Another serious problem in the life of the University is that of thetype of undergraduate students, which it attracts. It appears to usthat a more social, knicker-wearing clan are coming. Enthusiasmand intellectual flare is comparatively rare amongst the young menwho run around our quadrangles with pins on their vests. Fewthings, and few ideas can challenge them into activity.Perhaps Dr. Hutchins can. We realize that the large scalegrowth of universities is in harmony with our contemporary civiliza¬tion, and that it already has acquired a powerful momentum. Weare also aware that it is a simple matter to sit down and criticize, anda different proposition to sit down and formulate a program of activ¬ity. And we are only too intimate with the fact that the currentbrand of students are an uninspiring lot. However, Dr. Hutchins’convocation address is hopeful. We trust that he will assist in therealization of this hope. (Continued from page 1)from the studio such as LeonardCrunelle, Mr, and Mrs. Fred Torrey,Nellie Walker, Otis F. Johnson,(Elizabeth Hazeltine and the Bedores,have worked with him, not under him.The sculptors have merely madetheir home together under the ramb¬ling roofs of the studio, each pur¬suing their own interests, whetherthey be modern or classical, underthe fatherly guidance of Mr. Taft,and all living together as one con¬genial family group.In the new studio he plans furth¬er and immediate work on his onegreat project, the historical museum.This great museum which would in¬corporate copies of all notable worksof sculpture since the dawn of his¬tory has long been the dominatingdream of Lorado Taft. He hasplanned it in miniature; he has com¬pleted many of the actual casts.Michelangelo’s “Pieta,” one of thetwo existing casts in the world, theVenus de Milo,” regarded as one ofthe most perfect of copies, Ghiber¬ti’s second cathedral doors, casts ofthe Grecian maidens from the Acrop¬olis,and a host of others are all com¬pleted and will be stored away inthe new studio awaiting the daywhen some financial grant will makepossible the realization of an artist’slife long dream.Mr. Taft hopes that his dream willbe at least partially reaized in gain¬ing permission to use the east wir&of the Old Fine Arts building whichis undergoing repairs in JacksonPark. Originally he had hoped thathis museum might be constructed onUniversity land between Ellis andWoodlawn Avenues on the south sideof the Midway, but the construc¬tion of the dormitories has destroyed that hope.Mr. Taft, however, still dreamsand works to make that dream areality. Beside the table upon whichthe miniature museum is planned hehas pinned a note, “Make no littleplans; they have no magic to stirmen’s blood, and probably themselves'will not be realized. Make big plansaim high in hopes and works, re¬membering that a noble, logical dia¬gram once recorded will never die,but long after we are gone will bea living thing, asserting itself withever growing insistency.”OTALLON CASEDECIDES NOTHINGSAY ECONOMISTSInforms MinistersThat PersonalityIs Prime ElssentialPersonality is the deciding ele¬ment in the success or failure of aminister, according to Clarence S.Funk, who addressed the ministers’class on Business Admini.stration Fri¬day moming at the Divinity Schoolof the University.Twenty-eight ministers from four¬teen states are taking a course inbusiness trainig, under the direc¬tion of Robert Cashman, BusinessManager of The Chicago Theologi¬ cal Seminary, including such sub¬jects as church finance, publicity,correspondenc, filing, organization,convention management and execu¬tive leadership.Church properties must be made".ttractive, and church programsmust be made worth while, said Mr.Funk, if they are to compete withplaces of amusement.People recognize the worth of thechurch, largely by the personality ofits ministers. Personality is the evi¬dence of personal achievement,which every man carries in his ownperson; it is the aggregate of hisqualities, the result of his total dailyliving. (Continued from page 1)vant to the issues in the case beforeit, if that is what Congress desiresthat the Commission should do.”In regard to the influence of thedecision on transportation, ProfessorSorrell points out that, while an in¬crease of 600 million dollars in thecountry’s transportation bill might1)6 necessary to permit a ‘fair return’on railway valuations as they may ap¬pear after the decision, yet it ap¬pears that no general increases intransportation charges are in imme¬diate prospect.“Much evidence,” he writes, “existsto sustain the view of those who ex¬pect the effect of the decision onrailroad rates to be comparativelysmall. Some increases may takeplace here and there, advances mayoccur in depressed districts; a ces¬sation in the practice of ‘whittlingaway freight rates’ is in prokpect,but in general the rate-level may bestabilized rather close to its presentlevel. Competition from other typesof carriers also will tend to keeprate increases at a minimum.“The most impoitant financial re¬sult of the decision will be to limitand defer indefinitely the recaptureof excess earnings—even to the ex¬tent that the recapture clause maybe largely nullified.“If the Interstate Commerce Com¬mission is to use the current-repro¬duction-cost theory as its basis forvaluations, it will be faced by a se¬vere administrative task in determin¬ing what such costs would be foreach year that attempts to recap¬ture earning are made.

And when the author ofsuch'a history is an alumnus of theUniversity of Chicago it stands toreason that he will write down howChicago has grown with its Univer¬sity—and how the University of Chi¬cago has grown with its city.This author is Henry Justin Smith,’98, managing editof of the Chicago’98, managing editor of the Chicagothe .Mumni Magazine and, not solong ago, director of public relationsfor the University of Chicago.Strictly speaking, Mr. Smith is a co¬author, for “Chicago: A History ofIts Reputation’’ was written by himwith Lloyd Lewis. Mr. I.ewis is agraduate of Swarthmorc, but long aChicagoan and a resident in the Uni¬versity community. He is a contrib¬utor to the magazines, once a Chicagonewspaper man, and the author of“.Myths .\fter Lincoln,’’ a historypopular among the spring publica¬tions.“Chicago: A History of Its Reputa¬tion (to be publishetl August 22 byHarcourt, Brace & Co.) is not, it issaid, a mere tour of the city and alist of facts and figures. Mr. Smithand Mr. Lewis attempt to explainChicago—quite a difficult job the.sedays. 'So they start at the beginningof Chicago’s historj’ and followthrough even to the gang massacreof St. Valentine’s Day.Quite naturally, the idea and’growth of a University of Chicago isa part of this history. Early in thebook one finds Rush Medical Collegewhich, opening in 1844, was the firstcollege west of Cincinnati. Thencomes the old University of Chicago,built on land at .34th and CottageGrove given by Stephen A. Douglas.1871 this first University had “the ik and largest refracting telescopethe world,’’ but despite this advan¬tage the earlier University of Chicago‘perished in the Eighties.But with the Nineties and theWorld’s Fair the historian find a newUniversity of Chicago, the idea ofWliliam Rainey Harper who was ihelped by such famous Chicagoans asMarshall Field and Silas B. Cobb.The unostentatious opening of the |University—on ten acres of sand lotthat had .so recently been covered with chickweed and tin cans—is de¬scribed by Mr. Smith and Mr. Lewis.Often throughout this new historythe University of Chicago is men¬tioned. The beauties of its buildingsare listed among Chicago’s most nota¬ble architectural achievements. Thefame of such Chicagoans as Michel-son, Chamberlin and John D. Coul¬ter is set down in citing the culturaladvance of the city.And there is an exceedingly inter¬esting story told of Silas B. Cobb,whose generosity furnished the cam¬pus with its first lecture hall. Inthe 1830’s Cobb left Vermont “forthe West,’’ but on reaching Buffalofound that his pocket had been pickedof all but seven dollars. The captainof a lake schooner offered to take theboy as a deck passenger if he wouldsupply his own food and give theofficer what money was left.Cobb spent three dollars on a ham,six loaves of bread and bedtick filledwith shavings. For the remainingfour dollars the captain gave him afive-w'eek ride through fierce galesthat drenched his bed and half frozehis body. .Arrived at last in Chicago—a village still without a harbor—the captain demanded three dollarsmore for the passage.For three days, while the otherpassengers were taken ashore incanoes and boats, Silas B. Cobb waskept a prisoner on board. At last achance acquaintance loaned him the |three dollars, and he came to the |muddy village which later was to list Ihim as an important citizen and to jwho.se University he gave the building that bears his name.
