The coursewill be transmitted throughout the 'Winter quarter every morning ex- |cept Sundays and Mondays. jFrom the beginning of coloniza-jtion until the War for Independ- :ence, emphasis was placed on the jconflict between religious ideas and jthe necessity for survival. Later, ipolitics dominated the spirit of lit- ierature. iMoulton PredictsNew System WillBe UnsuccessfulKxpres.sing the opinion that theUniversity’s new method of education will probably be unsuccessfii ifor a considerable number of yearsForest Ray Moulton, alumnus andscientist of international fame,writes in the current issue of theUniversity Alumni Magazine thefirst article in a series dealing withall phases of the new plan.He points out that his initial en¬thusiasm for the plan has been ,dampened by the fact that no oneconnected with the University, in¬cluding the President and the Sen- |ate, is willing to accept responsibil-;ity for its origin. “So far as I can |di.scover, it is a waif under the stern |care of a home for foundlings. \Furthermore, the president of a sis- !ter university tells me that the plan ■is not new at all, that it has beenthoroughly tried out elsewhere, particularly at the University of Wisconsin.Approved With Misgivings“Now I find that I have beenmuch interested in, and in favor of.a plan of education that no one as- i•sumes the responsibility for originat¬ing, that was approved by the Uni¬versity Senate under misapprehen- Isions, that is not new anyway, andthat so far is working out in prac- ;tice both satisfactorily and unsatis- ;factorily. I do not think, underthese circumstances, it is at all like¬ly to be a successful for a consider¬able number of years.”Professor Moulton gives otherreasons for his lack of confidence !in the new plan: The preparationfor it on the part of the professorswas wholly inadequate, he states.“In view of the large number of(Continued on page 4)FRANCE AWARDSFELLOWSHIP TOJOHN A. VERDIERJohn A. S. Verdier, 11, graduate.student of French at the University, ihas been awarded the French gov-jernment’s grant for a fellowship :abroad during the coming year, itwas announced during Christmas va- ;cation by George A. Works, dean otstudents. Verdier sails for FranceJanuary 9th to spend eight monthsin study at the Sorbonne and othermanuscript centers. •The fellowship was created inNovember when M. Henri Bougeau-rel, French consul in Chicago, an¬nounced a gift of .50,000 francs by ’his government to the University, inrecognition of its outstanding posi¬tion in French scholarship. Verdier,who received the bachelor’s degree 'from Harvard University, is regard¬ed as a student of unusual promise.He has been assisting Professor Wil¬liam A. Nitze, Chairman of the Uni- ;versity’s Department of Romance 'Languages, on a project for the jstudy of the Arthurian cycle of ro- imances. He will return to the Uni- |versity next fall to complete his |work for a doctor’s degree. ^ COMPTON DIRECTS WORLD-WIDECOSMIC RAY INVESTIGATIONPlans for a great concerted effortby scientists to discover the sourceand nature of cosmic rays, involv¬ing the measurement of these mys¬terious radiations as they bom¬bard the atmosphere at eighteenwidely scattered sites on the earth’ssurface, were disclosed Sunday byDr. Arthur H. Compton, Professorof Physics, and Nobel Prize win¬ner of 1927.During the spring and summer of1932 more than a dozen physicists,working in several parties under thedirection of Dr. Compton, will testthe intensity of the rays as theydescend from the heaven.s at thir¬teen of the chosen sites. Electrom¬eter readings, taken largely inmountain ranges, will be made inPanama, Peru, New Zealand, Aus¬tralia, Uawaii, Alaska, the Argen¬tine, Chile, Kashmir, Ceyion, Sing¬apore, Java and South Africa.Rarely if ever has a scientific sur¬vey been made over such an extend¬ed area in so short a time. The Car¬negie Foundation and the Unh'ersitywill share the expense of the pro¬jected cosmic ray study.The present expeditions continuethe w'ork which Professor ComptO/-and his collaborators carried on dur- Iing last September and October onMount Evans, Colorado and ort theJungfrau in the Swiss .\lps. The pro¬jected measurements will be madeat widely distributed stations and atdifferent altitudes on mountains ranging in height from 7,000 feetto 26,000 feet.Study Rays’ OriginThe objective of the expeditions,according to Dr. Compton, is “morecomplete knowledge of the natureand place of origin of the cosmicrays. A survey such as this shouldgive the most adequate test that hasyet been devised to disting,..isnwhether the cosmic rays are pho¬tons, such as light and X-rays are,or electrons, such as give rays tothe earth’s aurora.”Dr. Compton, who for severalyears has been measuring the raysas they strike into his laboratory inEckhart Hall, will himself do a con¬siderable share of the proposedwork. Accompanied by his wife and ihis 14-year old son, Arthur Alan, :who assisted him in the work on Mt. jEvans, Dr. Compton will leave for |Panama in March, to make tests on jMt. Chico, fifty miles from theCanal.His next stop will be Peru, wherehe will work in cooperation with theCarnegie station at Huancayo, mak¬ing measurements over as wide a jrange of altitudes as possible andespecially at very high altitudes.Travel to New Zealand IMt. Cook in New Zealand will bethe next objective of the party, andthe fourth point of observation will |be Mt. Kosciusko between Sydney jand Melbourne in Australia.

About half of a class of 450 in theBiological Sciences survey visit pretty regularlya laboratory instituted at the request of membersof the class, although no la'ooratory work is re¬quired in the course and none is necessary in orderto pass the comprehensive examination. The onlypossible motive actuating these students is intel¬lectual curiosity—the sort of intellectual curiositythat the plan is designed to foster. However, withtheir zest for learning, they seem to be much thesame sort of students who have always attendedthe Junior college: not yet used to the idea thatthey are on their own, many of them complainabout the amount of work it is suggested that theydo being more than th;ey can handle; most of themI take a good deal of interest in campus affairs; theyhave a good deal of play along with their work.We do, nevertheless, look for them to adopt atleast a modification of the graduate attitude whenthey reach the Divisions.

The classof 1935, first to be allowed to pursue their studiesentirely on their own initiative, is still in the Col¬lege, and is, hence, possessed of an attitude towardcollege much the same as that of the old-time un¬dergraduate; viz., that college life consists in alittle work, a little play, a little participation inundergraduate activities and social affairs. Itwill be interesting to predict what changes in themental attitude of students under the new planwill occur when they leave the College and pro¬ceed, still undergraduates, into the work of theirchosen Division.The Divisional work is to be arranged in a man¬ner encouraging the undergraduate to adopt agraduate .seriousness of purpose toward his studies.Specialization in live Divisions will be far morethorough and complete than has been speciahz.a-tion in the .Senioi cf)lh’:gc under the old .seheme:and it can jusliliably be so, for the conspectus oflearning to be acliicvefi in the new College is farbroa<h‘r and nif)re .sweeping than that which hasever been oHer«'d an in'Iividual in the Junior col¬lege of llte p t.st. 1 he methods anrl ment.al alti¬tudes of the grarliiale schools will be thus ex¬tended flo’.viiwaifl t<i include candidates for theBacl'.etot s flegree,1 his will not be without its cfTect upon the lifeof the average uurlergraduafc, especially a.s regards his extta ■ unicular interests. Graduatestudents ii'iif.1 lousiy have no time for tlie frivol¬ities of iinde\g»afluate existence, nor can theyspare tin* lime which is required in participation inan activilA' such a.s rlrcimatics or a publication.Neither, we believe, will the Divisional student ofthe years to come. I hough the metamorphosismay he gradual, it will nevertheless come aboutthat the Washington Prom will be given by andfor students in the College, that the DramaticAssociation productions will be put on by stu¬dents in the College, that all of the more or lessflourishing student “activities" will pass painless¬ly into the hands of students beneath the Divis¬ional level.This will be, beyond a doubt, a change for thebetter. The intelligent senior of today—one witha real intellectual interest,—cannot but regret thetime consumed by many of the meaningless andsilly affairs in which he is expected to show somedegree of interest as an undergraduate. The ex¬tension of graduate methods to the lowliest ofDivisional students cannot but result, also, in theraising of the standard of the Bachelor’s degree.In the past, a diploma marked B. S. or Ph. B. hasbeen regarded only as a time card; ideally, underthe new plan, such a diploma becomes a symbolof achievement comparable with the achievementrequired for the attainment of a higher degree.A zest for learning among the present Fresh¬man class which would have been amazing inold plan freshmen may be observed with the NotTheThe Travelling BazaarBY FRANK HARDINGliiiii'iliiiHlliliiiliiiiUliiiliiiliililliunmmi'i.iiT.; .. i .in:.;T was the week after Christmas, back cameboys and girls,a brain cell ’workin, minds going inwhirls.note-books were opened by childrenwith care,In hopes that the teacher wouldn’t be there.The girls in their bonnets and the boys intheir capsA short silent prayer for courses termed“snaps"W hen out in the hall there arose such a clat¬ter,The class gaped as one wondering what was jthe matter. jThe instructor crept in with a tottering walk. ’Put on his horn specs and started to talk, ’“Today 1 will preach on nincomarethisYou’ll read these twelve books and write along thesis!"¥ AA *And that goes on ad infinitum even thoughwe had not planned to talk about Christmasand the new Dusey and Crissy-Craft Santyput in our stocking.¥ ¥ *As one wanders around through thecourses offered by the University, one be¬comes more and more convinced that thingsare not as they seem.

Aftersome time the four men decided that it wouldnot be very easy to just step out of the situ¬ation so two came to the conclusion that itwould be best if they took Ros and his girlfor a ride . The other two, luckily, werenot in favor of such a step so for some timethere was a heated argument as to whetheror not there should be a couple of untimelydeaths. All of which did not help the ner¬vous system of the people in question. Final¬ly an agreement was reached, and the carwas driven out in the country where the fourmen deposited the victims, removed all theirmoney and valuables and proceeded to driveoff.* * ifProf. Fay-Cooper Cole, of course, alwaysmakes the members of his courses feel goodby informing them at the start of his lecturesthat they are all more ' or less "miniatureantique shops."

The tour¬nament, which i.s an invitational af¬fair, began December 28 and endedlast Saturday evening officially open¬ing the new Chicago fieldhousewhich has been under constructionsince last spring. Thirty-two teamscompeted in the eliminations;among them fifteen from outsidethe city area.h'lom the opening game it wa'predicted that, barring unexpected•StrenLjth, Morton, Marshall, HydePark and Crane Tech would success¬fully reach the semifinals. Both ofthe semi final game were closer thanwas indicated by almost identicalscore.s. Morton stopped Crane’sgreat scoring ace, Gruenig, wMthouta basket after he had led tourna-men scoring. The final period end¬ed with Morton out in front 25-15.Hyde Park was unable to stop thebarrage of long distance shots whichMarshall opened at the very start ofthe game with deva.stating results.The west side team finally defeatedHyde Park 25-14.The championship game was fea¬tured by the superior team play ofMorton and the uncanny basketshooting of Marshall’s smaller team.Except at the very start of the con ¬test the .score never showed a threepoint difference. Rosenthal led Mar¬shall’s offense with four basketswhile the performance was duplicat¬ed by Morton’s center. I Maroon Offense Fails to ClickAs Marquette Wins, 36-21Cagers Show ProgressAfter HolidayDefeatsChicago’s yearly holiday basket¬ball schedule proved unsuccessfulfrom the point of games won, butthe marked improvement shown byNorgren’s cagers from the WesternState debacle until the CainegieTech game last Saturday evening,which the Maroons lost by one pointin an overtime period, promi.ses ofa strong showing in the Conference.The fast break coupled with theblock plays which the Maroon teamemploys has proved difficult in de¬veloping a smooth w’orking offense,but against Carnegie the strengthof the team was more than potential.Western State teachers collegefound the Maroons poorly oiganizedand unable to fathom a fast pass¬ing attack. Stephenson led the onlyChicago rally when he intercepted apass to score and with Parsons putin another apiece. Western StateI again took control and the gameI ended 36-24.\ week’s practice found a vasthimproved team taking the flooragainst Carleton college of Minne¬sota although the superior passingand the under basket work of Stromand Nordley finally proved too muchfor Chicago’s guards. The game wasfeatured by the brilliant perform¬ance of Keith Parsons at center,who scored nine points to take highpoint honors. Carleton staved off tlast quarter rally led by Stephensonand Evans to finally win 33-29.

' Moulton PredictsNew System WillBe Unsuccessful(Continued from page 1)scientists on the faculty, it is amaz¬ing that an experiment was not madewith the method before it was foreed on the students. Would it nothave been in every respect sensiblefor the professors to forego their in¬terminable talk, and to try out thisnew plan on themselves? It wouldhave taken them only a few months.If they had first given their examinations to such as themselves, theycould have greatly refined theiimethod.”Suggests Faculty Take Exams“The faculty has made still an¬other error.” writes this scientist“It has arrived at the materials contained in the new Freshman course.-by much talk, rather than by firsttrying them out on its own members. In all seriousness. I thinkthat every member of the facult\should be given in full detail thtcourses that it has prescribed as arirreducible minimum for all freshmen. In fact, I wish the trustee^would pass the rule that no personcould remain on the faculty formore than three years unle.ss h(should pass satisfactory examina¬tions on Freshman courses, and thatno person in the future should beappointed to the faculty staff whohad not first passed them. I thinkexaminations on these Freshmancourses should be given every quar¬ter to the Piesident and member.-of the faculty until they receivedsatisfactory grades or automaticallypassed out of the University at theend of three years.“The professors .should be forcedto see how dull these courses un¬doubtedly are in spots, and to whaia large extent they are given fromthe narrow, prejudiced point o'view of the specialist.” claims Prolessor Moulton.
