The fourschools involved are the DivinitySchool of the University of Chicago,Baptist in origin; the Chicago Theo¬logical Seminary, of Congregationaldenomination; the Meadville Theo¬logical School, Unitarian and Univer¬salis!; and the Disciples DivinityHouse.The significance of this move lies inits effect: the barriers which formerlyexisted between and among the sev¬eral schools have been removed, elim¬inating the tendency to sectarianismand leaving the schools free to worktogether on the common problems of example of disinterested devotion tothe fundamental purposes of theirinstitutions.. ..“Every university has the frame¬work of a community. It has a com¬mon heating plant and president. Itsuppers in common at a common lunchin a common faculty club.

To be pre¬sented November 19 and 20 in Man-del Hall, “Claudia” is the human storyof a naive child-wife who achievesmaturity through sudden associationwith birth and death. Radiatingwarmth and humor, it should be asuitable follow-up for the tense melo¬drama of “Night Must Fall”.Each of the five female roles isbeing enacted by women who havehad previous experience in ODP pro¬ductions, while the men taking thethree male parts are new.Female leadsThe title role will be played byMerle Sloan, who has formerly ap¬peared in “Tovarich”, “Heaven CanWait”, and “Letters to Lucerne”. MissSlona’s dark tresses should provide anew touch to the usually blonde Clau¬dia. Peggy Wagner will be serene andunderstanding as Mrs. Brown, Clau¬dia’s mother, and Cynthia Sibley is toportray the sophisticated sister Julia.Lois Wells is robust Madame Dai*us-chka and the part of Bertha is as yetuncast.David, Claudia’s adoring spouse,will be portrayed by John Dickerson,the first of the new male Thespians.This will be his first attempt at UofChistronics as is the case with Bill Rob¬erts and Fred Sulcer, the two remain¬ing members of the cast.

Palmer, Presidentof the Chicago Theological Seminary,speak on the importance to Christian-,'ty and Protestant theological institu¬tions of this Federation of theologicalschools. Dr. Horton spoke on “Theo-!logical Education ' in the Service ofEcumenical Christianity,” and Dr.Palmer spoke on “Unity and Freedomin Theological Education.” PresidentHutchins’ speech, on the “Place ofTheological Education in a Univer¬sity,” appears below.Hutchins’ speech“We mark tonight the beginning ofa great movement in education, thesignificance of which far transcendsour own time. Without sacrificing thespecial interests of the denominationsthe Theological Federation has brokendown the last barriers that have sep¬arated the Schools.

You know I called the otherday for an appointment, and he told me to drop in around 3:30 p.m. Imayn’t be in,” he said, “but if I’m not it just can’t be helped.” Well, it sohappened that my O.I.I. class was over at three, so I went along to Classics400—something where Mr. Grene’s office is. There I found him crammingbooks into a brief case and getting ready to ‘take a powder’—purely by acci¬dent, of course. Since I had by that time planted myself in front of the door,he couldn’t get out, so he had to sit down and let me interview him.Being mindful of my high-school journalism lessons, I took out my note¬book and pencil like a good little reporter, turning a beaming face to Mr.Grene and prepared to launch my first question, but I was soon disillusionedbecause Mr. Grene said he wasn’t going to give me anything I could ‘takedown’. “Well,” said I, “well ...”“You just sort of remember what I say and then write it up,” he said.“You can just stick in there somewhere that I teach Humanities 2 and Greekand some Latin.”“Mr. Grene, will you tell us about your goat farm?”“Oh, good heavens no. Really, I don’t like publicity.”“Well, how about your little girl? Can we talk about her?”“Oh, nononono.”«Uh, er would you care to say anything about education in general?”“Oh, for gosh sakes, no, I wouldn’t care to say anything about it.”“Well,'how about your Ph.D.? Will you tell us something about that?”“No. I don’t want to talk about it.”“Ins’t there anything you’d like to tell people through the columns oftho Maroon?”(See “Grene’s Modesty”, page 3) YCL ReplacedBy NationalOrganizationIntended to take the place of theYoung Communist League, a new or¬ganization petitioned the Universityof Chicago for recognition yesterday.A few weeks ago in an early issueof the MAROON, the Young Com¬munist League announced that it wasthrough. The new organization, en¬titled American Youth For Democ¬racy, is intended to represent tradeunion youth, students, young farm¬ers, Negro youth, and religious andcivic groups.By no means a continuation of theY.C.L., the American Youth For De¬mocracy has adopted a program forthe complete and speedy destructionof fascism; continued United Nationsunity after the war; the full integra¬tion of Negro youth into the life ofthe nation; unity of trade-union youthwith all other sections of the. youthpopulation; education on contem¬porary issues { and cooperation of allwin-the-war youth regardless of race,religion, or political beliefs.The gronp on campus has electedVirginia Kougias temporary chairmanand Pat Peterson temporary secre¬tary.The organization, a national one,was established October 17 in NewYork by a convention of young people.Elected the National Council wereformer staff sergeant Bob Thompson,D.S.C.; Naomi Ellison, chairman ofthe Industrial Council of the YMCA;Winifred Norman, chairman of theNational Council of Negro Youth andJohn Gallo U.A.W., C.I.O.MargarineJust As Good-Carlson“Food habits which become almostas fixed as religious habits and almostas equally unreasonable are but oneof the obstacles standing in the wayof maintaining an optimum diet inpeace time as well as in war time,”said Dr. Anton J. Carlson, professoremeritus of physiology, when he spokelast Friday evening on “ConsumerFood Problems Extenuated by theWar” at the first of a .series of fourlectures sponsored by the Ellis Stu¬dent Co-operative.“Oleomargarine and butter havethe same caloric value,” stated Dr.Carlson, “and they are nutritionallyequivalent.” Good margarine could be.sold for one half to one third the costof butter, but the tax of ten centsper pound on colored margarine pro¬hibits this.Dr. Carlson pointed out that thereis a good deal of outright artistic ly¬ing in food advertising and the priceof the advertising is added to theprice of the commodity.(See “Carlson”, page three) Dean BrumbaughReveals ChangeA new procedure extending the useof aptitude tests for awarding en¬trance scholarships for the college ofthe University has been announced byDean Aaron J. Brumbaugh, chairmanof the scholarship committee. The newscholarship procedure differs fromformer scholarship competitions intwo ways: First, all scholarships willnot be awarded on the basis of aptirtude tests, in addition to other cri¬teria. Formerly the aptitude testswere required only for those compet¬ing for “prize scholarships.” These“prize scholarships” are now abandon¬ed. Second, all students who competefor the scholarships must apply foradmission to the University of Chi¬cago.Brumbaugh explainsDean Brumbaugh’s explanation ofthe new scholarship procedure was,“The aptitude test is designed tomeasure the student’s ability and nothis achievement. It emphasizes intel¬lectual skills whereas achievement ex¬aminations measure knowledge andskills for a special field.“Since this scholarship examinationis competitive and is designed to selectthe exceptionally able students froma large group of superior students, itcontains many difficult questions.However, even the best student is notexpected to be able to answer all thequestions.”The student’s high school record,participation in high school and com¬munity activities, and comments of thehigh school principal, teachers andothers are still important factors indetermining the awards.Cash prizesFirst competitive tests under thenew plan will be given to qualifiedhigh school students or graduates onDecember 4. Application for takingthe test must be obtained no laterthan November 15, from the office ofthe Entrance Counselor, Cobb Hall.Under the plan, the University willaward, during the calendar year 1944more than 100 regular scholarshipsworth from $300 to $2,400, plus anundetermined number of special schol¬arships which range in value from$150 to $1,000.Approximately half of the scholar¬ships are for high school studentswho wish to take advantage of the“Chicago Plan” which provides forcollege education to start at the con¬ventional junior grade in high school.The second of The Hillel Foun¬dation’s Firesides will be held onFriday evening, Nov. 5, at 8o'clock, at Ida Noyes Hall. HenriSimon Bloch will speak on “Warand the Social Order.” This willbe the first in a series of three Fire¬sides devoted to the different as¬pects of the war and the studentby men from the social, religious,and scientific fields. All studentsare invited to attend.Hi mamPage TwoThe Chicago MaroonEntered January 13, 1943, as third class mail in the United StatesPostal Service.

Dave SmothersWard SharbachJohn CampbellDorothy GranquistSandy SulcerGod Bless You, BertieOnce upon a time, in the colonies of perfidiousAlbion, there dwelt a maldoer by the name of Ce¬cil Rhodes. Rhodes was certainly a louse of thefirst water. Like a spider weaving its treacherousweb Rhodes sat in his dusty corner and insidious¬ly helped build that blot on the face of God'sgreen earth called the British Empire. Laughingfiendishly between his teeth the unspeakable cadplanned his treacherous schemes under theblighting shadow of the British Isles.Rhodes is dead now. His body lies on the topof a deserted mountain in South Africa. But hislow deceiving work lives after him.It is to the Chicago Tribune that the UnitedStates should turn at this time in humble andheartfelt gratitude. True, Colonel McCormick’sthree ring circus of noble cartoonists and heroiceditorial writers have served the motherlandmany times in the past. It was they who warnedAmerica against bloody Joe and his nasty ways;it was they who strove with lionlike courage tosave these United States from the pinko Newdeal' bureaucrats and socialite (east coast, of course)warmongers; it is they who, almost, but, alas,not quite, persuaded America to oust that man inthe White House and sit the war out contemplat¬ing the national navel. They have done all this,and once again have issued their clarion call forthe salvation of the republic.For in the misty murky wastes of Great Brit¬ain, the Tribune has discovered a horrid and in¬sidious plot to have been hatched. How, ponderedCecil Rhodes and his partners in sin, could thepurity of the United States be violated: howcould the slimy doctrines of British imperialismbe inserted in the very veins and arteries of theUnited States? ‘T have it!” Cecil must haveshouted. ‘T will found a scholarship. We will takefrom America its truest and its bluest: we willlure them, like vassal princes, to come from theirpure undefiled colleges to the propagandizinghalls of Oxford. There they will be indoctrinatedwith the imperial interests and aims of GreatBritain—they will return to their homelandready to wreak the dastardly will of Englandupon the United States.”"‘Cecil,” the Prime Minister must have said.“I think that’s a simply peachy idea.”But they couldn’t fool the “Tribune”. Theplot’s discovered now, and the American voxpopuli has shouted in righteous wrath. “Englandand her lousy Rhodes Scholars to the wall,” weshout—^the “Tribune and 100 per cent you-betchaAmericanism forever.Bertie, how can we thank you?1943 Pledge ListsLast weekend the fraternities and clubs of the Uni¬versity wound up two weeks of intensive rushing.

We spoke to his wife,but all we could get her to admit wasthat they don’t like De Marigny’sclothes or his face, and they hope he’sguilty.Personally we are too much overcomeby the sultry Nassau atmosphere andthe super-sultry charm of the De Ma-rigny smile to speculate. But we rath¬er think it was the cat.Speaking of murders, we heard agory story from an MP who helpedfind a very battered female body lastsummer down in Tennessee. The sol¬diers were almost too stunned to talk,but one of them saved the day bysinging “Murder, He Says.”♦ ♦ ♦The inimitable Mr. Rowland tellsone about the Cambridge University’s“bulldogs,” plain-clothes guardians ofthe undergraduate morals.

The games were played at Green¬wood Field, 60th and University. In spite of high winds, passing accountedfor many of the scores. The Phi Gams weren’t able to score on an interceptedpass however. Phi Gam halfback Jim Servis intercepted a Pony pass on hisown 40 yard line and sprinted down the side-line all the way to the 1line before being stopped. Before the Phi Gams could go over for a touch¬down, the whistle blew ending the half. Tough luck! The Ponies tallied in thesecond period to make the final score Ponies 6—Phi Gams 0.The Dukes, a team from the old Deke house, battled out a 1-0 forfeitover the Crimson Tide.The Maroons (no relation to the newspaper) smothered the UniversityHousers 14-0. Two' touchdowns and a safety accounted for the scores. TheMaroons under Sandy Weissman of 6737 Woodlawn outplayed and out-foughtthe Housers, showing razzle-dazzle and good team-work. If first games areany indication, the Maroons are real contenders for the Championship.The Phi Sigs whipped the A.D.Phi’s 8-0 in the final game of the after¬noon. On the kick-off, the Phi Sigs were down the field so fast that Jo^'^Dickerson, Alpha Delt half-back, had the ball swept out of his hands. Hemanaged to fall on the ball himself but the Sigs got him before he could getaway scoring an automatic touchback. In spite of plucky playing and hardhitting, the A.D.Phi’s were outclassed from the beginning. The Phi Sigs hada heavier line and more experienced players. Ed Banks, former Hyde Par^High School star kept the A.D.Phi’s on the run all the time with his snapp)passes and fast rushing. Final score, PHI SIGS 8—A.D.PHI’s 0.More games are scheduled Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, 3:15-Coach Walter Hebert, sponsor of the League and member of the Athletic staffsays, “Any nthar football players on campus who would like to entar a teamare welcome to do so.1Pledge Lists,,^(Continued from page two)Psi UpsilonBurton BarnardCharles LauritsenTor RickterAlpha Chi ThetaEleanor JohnsonEsther Koenig . •loan MarelhallDelano PattersonJean PhelpsAlpha EpsilonLeila EhrenstromAdelaide HackLouise HetzelDorothy WeisnerChi Rho SigmaAnn BarberFlorence BaumraukLuella GustafsonDorothy KingPatricia KnightLorraine MacFaddenDonatta YatesDelta SigmaMary ClementzAlice CookMarguerite FallJessica HouseRuth LambJeanne McCormickIrene McEnroePat PrindevilleJoanne SpeckEsotericEleanor BruceJune BrumbaughJane CampbellJane ColleyRoxanne CrystPatricia EllisJean GatewoodAlice LudwigSuzanne ManuelHelen MarlandLois MerriamPatricia VogtBarbara WeinerPi Delta PhiDoris ArnettCarroll AtwaterMarilyn BaldwinBarbara BarkeCharlotte DragstedtCatherine FahrenwaldMerri ForestDorothy FerenceJean GilruthLucille GlakeCynthia HattonHelen HunterDalia LatiniDorothy MeyersLois NoakesMargaret O’NeillLinnea RosellElwyn ShayNancy SmithZelda SoldaPhi Delta UpsilonViolet AdasunasJanice BrownMary Lou FebelMarilyn FrodinJean GasserBeatrice JorgensonMabel KlalrichLucille KoveySylvia LohseLorraine MantasShirley MooreRhoda StrattonRita Von RedlichEldine Zilke* New under-arm oCream DeodorantsafelyStops Perspirationla Does not roc dresses or men’sshirts.

This would cover training inhow to read and write decent English—from the Bible and Shakespeareand other masterpieces of the Englishlanguage. At this level I would alsohave students study some English andAmerican history, and some mathe¬matics.”“On the next level, which includesmost of those here at the Universityof Chicago, there would be some kindof initial training in the great monu¬ments of classical literary and histo¬rical works, in translation. You can’tteach what’s most important in lit¬erary works at all in translation, andonly a fragmentary part of what’smost important in literary works.” “On the next level I would havestudents study these works in theoriginal, because they would learnmore from the original works than1 the other group would learn from theworks in translation.* “I believe that unless you knowsomething about Homer and the Odys¬sey, and unless you know about thecivilizations of ancient Greece andRome, then you can’t really knowabout your own civilization.”Well, Dave, that does it.

Truth in thenatural order is arrived at by reflec¬tion upon experience, that is, bythought. A university, therefore, is aplace where people think. It followsthat the criterion of university activ¬ity is intellectual. Instruction andresearch are judged by their intellec¬tual content and the intellectual effortthey demand.“These standards and no othersapply to professional education. Tothe extent to which professional edu¬cation is concerned with the truth,with thinking about important mat¬ters, to that extent it has a place ina university. To the extent that it isdesigned to teach the tricks of a trade,it is eccentric to the academic com¬munity. The anecdotal type of pro¬fessional teaching which aims to givehelpful hints to the practitioner seems,at first glance at least, to have nothing^to do with the purposes for which auniversity exists.YOU CAN’T TEACH TRICKS“If yoii ask how a professionalschool can serve the profession if itdisdains helpful hints, my answers aretwo. First, I should insist upon theparadox that the best practical educa¬tion is the most theoretical one. Thetricks of a trade can be learned onlyin the trade. Neither the atmospherenor the instructors in a school of anykind are suited to the task of teachingtricks. The tricks can be learned, andusually with great rapidity, in thetrade. The theory of the discipline,the understanding of those principleswhich enable the student to think forhimself and to face new situations,can be learned only in school.“Second, I should insist that anylearned profession requires for themaintenance of its professional aimsand standards centers of independentthought. Without such centers theprofession is bound to degenerate intoa trade. The school that renounces itsintellectual obligation and indulges inhelpful hints on the theory that it isserving the profession is not servingthe profession; it is betraying it.PEGOGICAL ISOLATIONThe result of the professionalizationof professional schools is thereforeisolation from the rest of the univer¬sity and disservice to the professions.And the narrower the object of theprofessional school, the more completethe isolation and the disservice... .Alaw school that set out to train youngmen to practice law anywhere in theUnited States would be constrainedby the fact that there are 49 jurisdic¬tions in this country to communicatesome general legal principles validin them all. A law school that pro¬posed, as many of them have,- to trainmen to practice in a single state couldlimit itself to teaching the rules ofthat state and the methods of manipu¬lating them at a profit.“The object of the Federated Theo¬logical faculty is to prepare men forthe Christian ministry. By minimizingsectarian differences and seeking thoseprinciples valid for all Protestants theFederation at one leap surmounts oneof the greatest dangers of profession¬alism.“The requirements of a learned pro¬ fession are two. It must have an in¬tellectual subject-matter in its ownright. The members must practice theprofession for the common good andnot for private gain. The ministry isthe learned profession par excellence.It has an intellectual subject-matterof the most challenging importanceand complexity. Nobody has recentlyclaimed that ministers become minis¬ters to get rich. The task of the theo¬logical school is to concen,trate uponits intellectual subject-matter.“The special intellectual subject-matter of the theological schools istheology. And it is sacred, as dis¬tinguished from natural, theology,The rules of theological study werelaid down by St. Augustine. The first,he said, is to hold to the truth ofScripture without wavering. The sec¬ond is that since Scripture can beexplained in multiplicity of senses, aparticular explanation should be ad¬hered to only conditionally, that is,it should be abandoned if it is withcertainty proved to be false, lest Scrip¬ture be exposed to the ridicule ofunbelievers and obstacles be placed inthe way of their believing.“THE WORD OF GOD IS TRUE’’“We learn from these rules thattheological knowledge has its roots inrevelation, and we see that withoutrevelation theology would not be dis¬tinguishable from other sciences anddisciplines. But we learn, too, thattheological knowledge grows andchanges as much as all the rest ofhuman knowledge. The Word of Godis true. But since it is the word ofGod, it is the most difficult of allthings for us to understand. Althoughit in itself is always true, our inter¬pretations of it are not necessarilytrue. St. Augustine is warning us notto confuse the truth of Scripture withthe truth of our interpretations. Heis telling us, moreover, that theremust be some extrinsic measure of thetruth of our interpretations.“What is that measure? It is allthe rest of our knowledge... .An inter¬pretation of Scripture cannot be trueif it is inconsistent with anythingwhich we know to be true. As thesubstance and scope of human knowl¬edge changes and grows, the substanceand scope of theological knowledgechanges and grows. The object of thefaith remains always the same. It isthe revealed God. But the content ofthe faith takes on new and differentmeanings as our knowledge of theworld, of man, and of revelation in¬creases.“It follows that the methods ofascertaining and testing the truth intheology are as rigorous as in all theother disciplines.

Theology uses all the otherdisciplines as the measure of its owntruths.)|> 4>“The theologian pursues his studies... in the context of all natural knowl¬edge. Everything which any otherpart of the University knows is val¬uable to him. Without a university heis under the obligation to master allthe sciences himself. Since he cannotdo this, he is likely to relapse intoindifference to them and teach his sub¬ject as though it were a complete andfinished museum piece. In this viewthe closer the connection between thetheological school and the universitythe better it will be for the theologicalschool.BETTER FOR THE UNIVERSITY' “And the better it will be for theuniversity. The theological school isnot merely a symbol recalling theoriginal and half-forgotten purposesof the university. Theology is notmerely the queen of the sciences be¬cause it induces a certain humility inall the others by reminding them ofwhat they cannot know, and attempt¬ing often vainly, to redeem them fromthe sin of pride. Theology and thetheological school are at the apex ofthe university and its studies becausethey seek to supply the answers to theultimate questions about the most fun¬damental matters with which the uni¬versity is concerned....“Metaphysics and natural theologydeal with these questions, too. Butintellectual history reveals nothing soclearly as their inadequacy for thetask. The existence and nature of God,the character and destiny of the hu¬man soul, and the salvation of manare problems which remain obscure inthe light of natural reason. Theology,which adds faith to reason,' illumi¬nates them.“We consider human life withoutreligion and history without provi¬dence. Though pagan ethics can beunderstood, it cannot be practicedwithout external aid. We can see whatAristotle thought virtue was. It isdifficult to believe that he thoughtPhone Midway 7447We Call and DeliverMAX BROOKLADIES and GENTSGARMENTSRemodeled and AlteredEXPERT CLEANING, PRESSINGand REPAIRINGTAILOR and CLEANER1013 East 61st Street many men could become virtuous. Heinsisted that man was ^n animal andat the same time laid down a courseof conduct for him which no animal,however rational, could pursue. AsReinhold Niebuhr pointed out in hisGifford Lectures, all anthropocentricethical doctrines fail at this point:they overlook the fallen nature of manand assume that without grace he canreach a terrestrial end to which, al¬most by, definition, no being with sucha nature can ever attain.“So a perfect theory of democracyas the best form of government canbe made out of the metaphysical andethical writings of Aristotle. But ashe himself did not have the fortitudeto follow his premises to his conclu¬sions and admit all men to participa¬tion in their own government, so it isimprobable that the practice of democ¬racy now or in the future can beachieved merely by the demonstrationof its reasonableness. Men, simply be¬cause they are men, are unlikely tofind within themselves the power thatcan bring the good life and the goodstate to pass.SALVATION IS OFF CENTER“The good life and the good state—we have today the two things whichwere to give them to us, productionand enducation. We have incredibleproduction and educational opportuni¬ties of which our ancestors neverI dreamed; but the good life and thegood state seem farther off than ever.Production has increased poverty, andeducation has increased ingnorance.One reason why may be that the edu¬cation upon which we have relied forsalvation is off-center. It is not mere¬ly anthropocentric; it centers upon thost aspects of human life least likely to elevate and ennoble the humanspirit. Theology has been displaced aathe queen of the sciences.
