iI \4 j"K-.Vol. 34. No. 82. UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO. WEDNESDAY. MARCH 14. 1934 Price Three CentoCompromiseIdeas vs. FactsBy D Ay I D ROBBINSA position of compromise is neverone emotionally appealing, and aself-appointed arbiter is scorned byboth sides to a dispute. I believe,however, that history will not showa judgment in favor of either pure"facts” or pure “ideas,” and that areconciliation is as possible in theoryas it is in the actual practice of somefields of thought. The discussionwhich wages on campus divides notonly the student body but also thephilosophic world. What follows isan attempt to show on philosophical(grounds that neither pure rational¬ism (ideas) nor pure empiricism(facts) is a position tenable for phil¬osophy in its own sake or as appliedin education. It will be evident, 1hope, that the rationalists are almostentirely right, but that they do havean absolute need of experience as astarting point and as a check to maketheir reasoning valid for practicalaffairs like metaphysics, scientificresearch, and learning how to think.The limit of space requires manyelliptical arguments and the omis¬sion of many definitions.RATIONALISMRationalism is concerned with thatrealm of general principles whichmay be defined negatively as therealm of the absence of facts, phen¬omena, or particular cases. Its con¬clusions are a priori or necessarilytrue if they have been derived de¬ductively according to the laws oflogic. The content of rational pro¬cedure is “outside of” space andtime and is often called “abstrac¬tion,” but this is not to deny to itsome kind of metaphysical being. Onthe contrary, it emphasizes the pointwhich is necessary to the argument.The realm of deduction and the syl¬logism is not the realm of ordinaryexistence, of science and facts. It isthe realm of abstract and necessarylogic, whose purest form is mathe-niatic.s. This is to say that by purespeculative reason we can never passfrom the universal to the particular,and never prove the actual existenceof objects. One can know that citieshave people in them, and that twoof them and two more of them makefour of them, but that they existphysically he can never know by hisintellect. Another example might bethe impos.sibility of arguing the exist¬ence of God.EMPIRICISMEmpiricism is concerned with theimmediate world of facts and phen¬omena. It deals with the contingentrelations of objects in space andtime. Its method is inductive—thepassing from the .some to the all.Kor example, having ob.served a fewsamples of antecedent influence, itaffirms universal causation. The em¬piricist is little interested in meta¬physics and is sceptical of the exist¬ence of realities outside his sense-perceptions, whether they are director refined by instruments.It is the empiricist who gives usthe clew to state this modified ration¬alist argument. All we need ask ofhim is a single fact or event, a singleperception of actual existence. Thisis certainly a small thing to takeom him who has so many millionsof facts to dispose. (We need reallyonly one fact, but since men are notreliable reasoners we had better drawmore heavily on empirical gener¬osity.) Given, then, at least one eventwhich exists in the sense of beingphysically perceivable. And givenal.so, the presence of universals(since this is no more than realiz¬ing, “I can speak a language.”) Butthe universals are “in” or “availableto” all things becau.se they are notlimited by space and time. Nowsince they are “in” thi.s particularexistential fact or event we borrow¬ed, and since they are the content ofthe syllogi.sm, we can now see that itis possible to reason about objectsthat exist, and which objects do exist.COMPROMISEThe crucial point assumed was ofcour.se that something exists—some¬thing we call a particular, a fact, anevent. This need be only the mostsimple thing, say the perception of afeeling. Once this undeniable as¬sumption of a fact is made, we areju.stified in insisting on more gen¬eral ideas in science (and education),for the extension of rationalism overscience eliminates the two funda¬mental weaknesses in the scientist’smethod: (1) an hypothesis drawnfrom induction is only one of an in¬finite number which will explain the(Continued on page 4) CROSSED CANNONFORMS PLANS FORMILlim RAILSelect April 20 for the^ Date of AnnualEvent (joodspeedTalksto 362 Seniorsat ConvocationInitial arrangements for the Mili¬tary Ball, the all-University socialevent of the spring quarter, werelaunched at the last meeting ofCro.ssed Cannon, according to Thom¬as Wason, commander of the order.This year's affair will be the tenthof the balls annually sponsored byCrossed Cannon, honor society com¬posed of 12 officers of the advancedcorps of the University R. 0.

BENTLEY CONSIDERSTHEATRIC AL SEASONPOOREST IN HISTORYGere.Ul E. Bentley, assistant pro¬fess i)> of English reviewed the cur-rerc theatrical .season in Chicago for..ii audience in Fullerton hall of theArt Institute last evening.According to Mr. Bentley, this lastseason has been one of the poorestin the history of the Chicago thea¬ter, a view which has been taken bymany leading critics. Of the fewworthwhile productions that havebeen given, Mr. Bentley considers“Biography,” Ina Claire’s recent hit,the best from the standpoint of bothproduction apd acting.Although “Richelieu” was writtenmore than a hundred years ago, Mr..Bentley heralded it as the return ofromanticism in the theater. He alsocontrasted the preferences of Eng¬lish and American audiences for.detective plays, using as example“Ten Minute Alibi” and “DangerousComer.” Eddington, EminentAstronomer, to VisitUniversity in AprilSir Arthur Eddington, consideredone of the foremost living astron¬omers. will arrive at the UniversityApril 2 for a five-day stay on cam¬pus.He will deliver two public lectures,the subjects of which are to be an¬nounced later, and will devote theremainder of his time to meetingI students individually and in smallj groups. His office hours for the in-i dividual conferences will be announc¬ed in The Daily Maroon soon.Sir Arthur, who is being brought‘ to the University by the same found¬ation that sponsored the visits ofMark van Doren, Alfred NorthI Whitehead, and Alexander Meikle-, john, has been professor of Astron-' omy at Cambridge since 1913 and isthe author of many popular books.' His latest works are “The Expandingi Universe,” “Science and the Unseen' World,” and “The Nature of thePhysical World.” In 1928 he wasI awarded the Royal Medal of theRoyal Society and from 1921 to 1923he served as president of the Royal; Astronomical Society.

Copies ofthe magazine may also be obtainedfrom the stand in front of Cobb halland at the Phoenix office in Lexing¬ton hall.GAUS LECTUREThe relationship between socialscience and civil service and publicadministration was shown in a lec¬ture yesterday by John M. Gaus, vis¬iting professor in Political Science.Gaus stated that there are threegeneral classes of positions, those oftechnicians; of governmental re¬searches, requiring a liberal artstraining and graduate study in politi¬cal science; and general administra¬tive positions, including people se¬lected from the other two classes. UNIVERSITY ADMITS7 MEN, 3 WOMENIN SPRING QUARTEROut of 33 applications, ten pros¬pective freshmen will be admitted tothe University in the spring quarter.The number of admissions, which in¬clude 7 men and 3 women, will prob¬ably be augmented by those pass¬ing the aptitude test to be given Sat¬urday.Several of the 23 who were re¬fused admission during the comingquarter will be admitted at the be¬ginning of the autumn quarter, inorder that they might escape thehandicap of entering the surveycourses near their completion.The Office of Admissions also an¬nounced that 86 out of 105 applic¬ants have been accepted for admis¬sion during the autumn quarter.Fifteen have definitely signified theirintention of entering the Universityby paying deposits on fees'. Thestudents admitted in the Spring willbe eligible to take the comprehen-sives given in June, after only onequarter’s work. SURVEY REVEALSPOPULARITY OFRADIO PROGRAMSReach Half of City inBroadcasts fromUniversityNearly fifty per cent of the radiohomes in the city of Chicago listento University radio programs, AllenMiller, director of the radio depart¬ment revealed yesterday in a prelim¬inary report of a study on the sub¬ject released to The Daily Maroon.Questionnaires were distributed to5,246 homes in 113 census tracts se¬lected at random. The commun¬ities were divided into five divisionsaccording to the average rental in¬come and the percentages for thesedistricts have been compiled.Diyisional PereentafeThe first two divisions, which rep¬resent the most prosperous commun¬ities in the city, had more than theaverage number of listeners. Sixty-three percent of the first group in¬dicated that they li.stened to Univer¬sity broadcasts and 56 percent wererecorded in the second group, uroupnumber 3, which is the middle classaccording to income, showed 48 per¬cent listening, group 4, 44 percent,and the last group 22 percent. Thissharp break between the fourth andfifth divisions is due to the largeforeign element in the low group,Mr. Miller believes.The 264,000 homes who composethe University radio audience weredivided into regular and occasionallisteners. The test for a regular list¬ener was the ability to identify byname two or more programs.Popular FeatureWhile the figures are not complete,they indicate that the round table,the classroom broadcasts, and PercyH. Boynton’s book talks are the mostpopular features of the radio depart¬ment.The survey, which has been car¬ried on by eWA workers under thedirection of Mr. Miller, is not con¬fined to University features. One ofits primary objects is to discoverjust what place education has inradio at present. No such study hasever been carried on before.In a supplementary survey intend¬ed to find out just how large a cov¬erage of the country the Universitybroadcasts have, Mr. Miller ':a3 hadresponses from 23 scattered states inthe last few days.Dimock CompletesTwo Month Studyof Canal EnterpriseMarshall E. Dimock, associate pro¬fessor of Public Administration, willreturn to the University today froma two months’ stay in Panama,where he conducted a study of theCanal Zone corporation, accompaniedby his assistant, Lewis Sims.Mr. Dimock, who studied the Brit¬ish Post Office and Broadcastingsystem in England last year, is espe¬cially interested in government-own¬ed corporations, of which the CanalZone is an American example. Hiswork in Panama was done in cooper-ation with the United States War de¬partment, which supervises the Can¬al Zone enterprises.Mr. Dimock left the Universityduring Christmas vacation, travellingto New York and Washington forconsultation on the project. He con¬cluded his work in Panama on March5, and has been in New York Citysince then. Next quarter he willteach a course on the American Con¬stitution, Political Science 383, andwill direct work in Political Science442, Research in Public .Administra¬tion.HUTCHINS RETURNSPresident Robert Maynard Hutch¬ins returned to the campus todayafter a short absence.

When signed they are to be turned backto The Daily Maroon and sent out at effective in¬tervals to the President.Thus President Roosevelt, after bonus bill hasbeen vetoed and congressmen can return to theirdistricts to tell veterans how hard they fought toput the bonus through, may be disposed to aid asituation which cries for a remedy under the gen¬tle hands of local Democratic administrators.—J. P. B.HERMITSCHOLARSTTiere are many types of students attending theUniversity, hut one of the most peculiar species,that the school seems particularly to attract, isthe hermit scholar. We call him this only forwant of a better name. Perhaps the title CanaryBird Scholar would have been more descriptive,but at any rate, regardless of what you call him,he is sufficiently common that you should havelittle difficulty in recognizing him.In the first place, the hermit student usuallycomes from outside the city, isolates himself highin one of the University residence halls and staysthere. When you see him outside of his roomhe is either going to class or to a library. Rarelyif ever does he venture beyond the boundries ofthe college campus.In the second place, the hermit student isolateshimself socially. Sports, fraternities, clubs, cam¬pus organizations, in fact any form of school activ¬ity that results in social or personal contact withother students seems to him to be a superfluouspart of an academic education. He graduates ofcourse—often with honors—but his education isof a remarkably restricted sort. For the mostpart, what visions he has of the expanses of hu¬man thought have been laboriously acquired byfocusing his eyes down to a foot or so on fineprint. Fie has seen life but he has seen it only onthe pasty pages of a book. Socially, practically,and understandingly, he graduates illiterate.But not only do the hermit scholars isolatethemselves socially and in space, but they usuallyisolate themselves in thought as well. The text¬book they are using, or the professor whose coursethey are taking, is looked upon as an infallibleguide to wisdom even in fields of thought entire¬ly without the scope of the particular text or pro¬fessor involved. It never occurs to them that someother professor or textbook may present thingsquite differently. Someone has said that the pur¬pose of a general education is to unsettle the stu¬dent’s mind. The hermit student has his mind un¬settled during the first quarter, then the next-eleven quarters settle it again for him, and per- jhaps for life.Unfortunately there are still other varieties ofmental isolations by which the hermit can be rec- jognized, any one of which alone will qualify him ^for admission to the order. The student who has ;definitely decided on his career and who takes Icourses outside of this subject reluctantly and only jfor the required credits, is a typical hermit scholar. ,The young physicist who complains of the human- Iities survey and the english major who objectsto physical science, both are rapidl^ isolating |themselves. They have great ambitions it is true, ■and they may ultimately achieve renown, but |seldom will they have weighed their losses with !their gains. IYes, they are indeed pitiable figures.

When he made his desiresknown, Jack nodded and said: “I’ve got just thething for you! Go down to this address andthey’ll take care of you.” John thanked him,went down to the address, up to the room desig¬nated, opened the door, and there lo and beholdwas a heavy, dark man seated with his feet up onthe desk. None other than EDGIE GOLDSMITH!Edgie wanted some posters distributed aroundtown and John distributed them for him. A curi¬ous coincidence but good fun nevertheless!S. R. COBB ABDUCTED: A BUSTWe see by the world’s greatest newspaper thatthe bust of S. B, Cobb was taken from Cobb halllast Friday. To quote the Trib: “The bustweighs seventy-five pounds.” There should be ex¬isting opinions to the contrary on that score, how¬ever.WE WISH WE HAD ROOMto say that Sigma Chi is giving its first annualball down at the Sherman this Saturday. So allyou fraternity ball addicts will have to visit yourfavorite hock-shop and get hold of a Sigma Chipin. You’ll need one along with four bucks! To the Students of the University:John Barden claims that there isno such thing as student opinion onthis campus, and that anyone whothinks that a college newspaper cando more than reflect its editor’s opin¬ions is fooling himself. The mostchallenging question before the stu¬dent body today is: Is this paperJohn Barden’s Maroon? Or is it thestudents’ Maroon?We think that the Maroon sinceChristmas and especially the issue ofThursday, March 8, has not repre¬sented the ideas of the student bodyon general education and the newplan. To find out whether we werejustified in asserting this, we circu¬lated a mimeographed petition whichprotested against what we felt wasthe distortion of student opinion.This petition came off the mimeo¬graph at 1*2 o’clock Friday. By 2o’clock we had two hundred and fiftysignatures. This expression ofopinion on the part of so many stu¬dents in such a short time is themore significant because of the dif¬ficulties under which we worked. Inthe first place a great numbt^' of stu¬dents leave the campus Tnday after¬noon. In the second place, only onelarge class in the college—the Bio¬logical Science Lecture B — meetsFriday. In the third place, only threepeople knew about the petition in ad¬vance and, aided by volunteers whooffered on the spot to help, circulat¬ed it.With such inadequate means ofpublicity, without the aid of such anorgan for expressing his views as theEditor has at his disposal daily, inspite of the fact that the studentswho are really interested have beenexposed to Maroon propaganda fornearly three months—and the indif¬ferent students don’t matter one wayor another—we did secure a signi¬ficant expression of student opinion—student opinion protesting againstthe Maroon’s mi.srepresentation ofstudent views in the Maroon.We list here our chief objectionsto the “general ideas” back of thecriticisms of the new plan last Thurs¬day. 1. The students who wrote thecriticisms have not taken the newplan courses and therefore are, inour opinion, hot competent to judgethem. We think criticism of thesurvey courses should come fromnew plan students, who have hadmore than a superficial contact withthe courses. A cursory examinationof the syllabi wdth one purpose inmind—to criticize them—is not anadequate basis for the sweepingstatements made.2. The intellectual background ofthe criticism is authoritarian andabsolutist in nature. It is the oldcontroversy of the middle ages be-tw’een realism and nominalism. Therealists, led by Adler, believe in anauthoritative statement of faith; thenominalists, representing the attitudeof the University for years, believein experiment and relativism. Weobject to a return to medievalism.3. These critics set themselves upa.s intellectuals and call everyonewho disagrees w'ith them “anti-intel¬lectual.” They are begging the ques¬tion. The real question (which theydon’t consider) is: What is intellect¬ual? They believe that it is intel¬lectual to bow to authority—the au¬thority of the past, the authority oftheir leader. The political outcomeof this faith is Fascism. On the otherhand we believe that it is intellect¬ual to work along lines of the mod¬ern trend toward relativity and sci¬entific experiment.I challenge John Barden or any ofthe four students who wrote the crit- 'icisms of the Survey courses to a jpublic debate on the statements theymade in their articles published inthe Maroon last Thursday. jMarie Berger. j but the height of foolhardy conceitis to claim to represent it, an alarm¬ing habi^,to4which you, Miss Berger,are subject. We attempt to lead ,student opinion, but allow expression iof our opposition in the Letters tothe Editor column and a front-pagecolumn dedicated to our opposition. ^Your rhetorical questions may be ig- jnored as publicity to gather namesfor your truly absurd petition.Best Lieutenant DesertsYour second paragraph is false.See editorial in the Maroon yester- ^day and thence to editorials of March '7 and October 11 to ascertain theMaroon’s relation to student opinion.Your assertions about the number ofsignatures and the amount of time |taken to procure them are gross ex- 'aggerations, if not absolute prevari¬cation. By simple process of extem¬poraneous debate, we dissuaded yourbest lieutenant to desert your irra¬tional cause.Your third paragraph is false. 'You have had the Letters to the Edi¬tor column awaiting expression ofyour views. What is even worse, wedevised a special front-page columndevoted to expressions of your op¬position, which you wrote very poor¬ly. According to Louis Wirth, asso¬ciate professor of Sociology, propa¬ganda begins when people agree withwhat we are saying. Since disagree¬ment is rife, our campaign was notpropaganda, but education. Thurs¬day, the Maroon expressed its ownviews and said so expressly in thehead and lead story.Syllabi Represent New PlanYour fourth paragraph is false.The University considers syllabi rep¬resentative of the new plan andsends out syllabi alone li., diver¬sities throughout tbe coantry. Ifthe syllabi are not representative ofthe course, whose fault is that? Fur¬thermore, the new plan will constant¬ly be judged by persons who havenot taken the courses. Hence per¬sons who had not taken the coursewere asked to criticise.Your fifth paragraph is false. Au-thoritariani.sm, absolutism, realism,and medievalism have distortedmeanings in your dissertation andhave nothing to do with the back¬ground of the critics. A belief thatthe function of a university is prim¬arily intellectual and a faith in thevalidity of human reason were thesole motivating forces in the syllabicriticisms.Hitler I( Noted Anti-IntellectualYour sixth jiaragraph is false. .\nintellectual is one who can see thedistinction between es.sence and ac¬cident, between reason and experi¬ence, between speculative and prac¬tical thought. An anti-intellectualdenies all three distinctions. Thelogical political outcome of inlellec-tualism is aristocracy. The logicaloutcome of unti-intellectualism is an¬archy. Hitler, for example, i.s themost noted anti-intellectual of mo<l-ern times.Your last paragraph is what Mr. PLEDGINGPhi Kappa Sigma announces thepledging of Charles Peterson, Ogden,Utah, and Elmer Nessler, Chicago.Gideonse would appropriately call“Balderdash!” You were challengedby us before you wrote your letter.Miss Kalven, Mr. Martin and Mr,Barden will meet you and others,you wish to designate in public de¬bate at any time and any place suit¬able to your convenience.—ed.theatreS5S E. t3rdDREXELWednesday, March 14thLESLIE HOWARDin“Berkeley Square"Mata.
