You'd probably feel about the same if youjust had a sword poked in your back, as Nolan does in his role of Coriolanus;Tickets may be purchased for Court theatre's first performance at the Reynolds club deskat $2.50 for the three-play series.Rarely performed tragedyis first Court productionUniversity of Chicago, Friday, June 27, 1958-I j ChicagoM araonby Pete SmithOn July 1 Court theaterwill open its fourth seasonwith an ambitious productionof Shakespeare’s “Coriola-nus.’’ Director Marvin Phillips hasnot been willing to leave thesuccess of the bard’s seldom-per-formed Roman tragedy to its nov¬elty alone, but has called in HallTaylor, a veteran of many Uni¬versity theater shows, to adaptthe drama for Court theater pres¬entation.Phillips said he had three rea¬sons for authorizing the revisions.First of all, certain aspects of theoriginal version did not suit it topracticable staging in the outdoortheater. Secondly, it was felt thatthe play was much too long. Last¬ly, the original cast called for anunwieldy number of hard-to-come-by actors.Anyone familiar with “Coriola¬nus” in its normal state will beinterested in seeing how the newTaylor version has condensed theplay and emphasized certain of itsideas and characters. A visitorat one of the rehearsals wouldnote that not only have two scenesoccasionally been condensed toone. but that a number of sceneshave been substantially shortenedor omitted altogether. The battlescenes, however, remain intact inan effort to inject the originallyrather static play with as muchphysical action as is justifiable.Taylor commented that he hastried to emphasize the “anti war”element in his adaption.Several of the minor characters1,1 the uncut text have been de¬leted, their important speechesand functions having been incor¬porated in the parts of the re-•naining characters. The actorwho plays Menenius also servesas a narrator who appears period-tcally to acquaint the audience (inprose style) with the events whichtook place in the omitted r-cenes.thto Schlesinger, who will portrayMenenius, revealed that appropri¬ate selections from the writings of such men as Plato and Alexan¬der Hamilton have been interpo¬lated in the old patrician’s nar¬ratives, thereby serving as philo¬sophical comments on the play’saction.The streamlined “Coriolanus”also attempts to intensify the per¬sonal tragedy of its protagonist.Director Phillips admitted thatthis put an even greater burdenon Tom Nolan who will act thedifficult title role.Those of the cast who were notneeded onstage at the momentsat on the benches exchanging bitsof information on the life of thereal Corinolanus, while sewingtheir togas and tunics or assem¬bling swords and shields for thebattle scenes.As one of the scenes was being rehearsed. Phillips remarked, “Ithink we have an excellent showin the making. We’ve got a chal¬lenging script and a group of tal¬ented, hardworking actors. Whatmore can a director ask for?”The public may come and decidefor itself how effective the new“Coriolanus” is. Performanceswill be given July 1 through 6and July 10 through 13 at 8:30. Incase of rain, performances willtake place in Mandel hall insteadof outdoors in Hutchinson court.Theatergoers may either bring achair or blanket with them or renta chair at the door.

On the first votebetween Valley Forge and Chi¬cago neither location could obtainthe required 55 per cent majority.Rev. Francis Nelson of MountCarroll, Illinois, proposed the Uni¬versity campus site as one wherean American Baptist conventionheadquarters building would be“a dramatic symbol of both ourunity and our democracy, cen¬tered amid all areas of our sup¬port. We would get a fresh start,something desperately needed byour denomination.” Those against the UC sitestressed the economy aspect ofthe Valley Forge location, its sub¬urban newness as compared withthe UC campus neighborhood, andthe theological aspects to be foundat the University.The Rev. A. G. Snyder of Wich¬ita, Kansas, told delegates, “Bymoving to Valley Forge we canhave the advantage of a prosper¬ous growing suburban commu¬nity, not a downtown area thatis changing.”“We should realize the institu¬tion (UC> is one formerly Bap¬tist,” said Rev. Charles A. Thor-man of Weirton, West Virginia.“For a time there has not beentoo congenial a relationship. Nowit’s far more friendly, but whatwill be the situation 25, 50 or 99years from now?”TheTtev. W. E. Borne, pastor ofthe Foster Park Baptist churchin Chicago stated: “Some saythey are suspicious of the Univer¬sity of Chicago location becauseof the history and reputation of the Divinity school. I happen tobe a graduate of a Southern Bap¬tist seminary, and you know I’ma conservative. Yet, I am for theMidway. We are not frogs to betainted by osmosis. We are think¬ing human beings, working tospread the Gospel of Christ. Thequestion is still: Should we do itfrom the edge or the center of theconstituency?”Dr. Walter Harrelson, dean ofUC’s divinity school, presented arebuttal in which statementsabout courage on urban renewal were stated and explained.Harrelson said, “I am most dis¬turbed by the reference to the dif¬ficult urban situation in whichyou would ask your headquartersstaff to live.

It was organized in WestBerlin in 1948, after the Commu¬nists took over, the University ofBerlin in the Soviet zone.Heuss is known to be greatlyinterested in the new institutionas a symbol of West Germany’sinterest in the spirit of free in¬quiry.Heuss, a distinguished scholar,author of 41 books, former news¬paper editor and publisher, profes¬sor, statesman and a man termedGermany’s “stern conscience ofdemocracy,” was welcomed to UC“as one of our own” by Chancellor Lawrence A. Kimpton, at a dinnerin the president’s honor June 10in the Quadrangle club.PRESIDENT Heuss’ trip marksthe first visit by a German headof state to the United States. Histour took him to Washington, Phi¬ladelphia, Hanover, Detroit, SanFrancisco, the Grand Canyon,Williamsburg, and Charlottesville,Virginia, and New York city.Before the dinner the Presidentwas greeted by three Universityhigh school students, RichardFriedman, Edie Moshino and Da¬vid Kraines, who gave him a copyof U-liigh’s 1958 yearbook, flowersand a boutonniere.GERMAN students, RosemarieRode of UC and Joseph Kalter ofRoosevelt university were intro¬duced to the President.At the Quad club dinner Chan¬cellor Kimpton welcomed Presi¬dent Heuss “not only as a headof state and one of Europe’s greatdemocratic leaders, but also as adistinguished scholar, teacher,and man of letters.

Our University,from its beginning, has owed agreat debt to Germany.“William Rainey Harper’s vis¬ion of the new University of Chi¬cago was influenced strongly byhis respect for the German uni¬versities. It was from this model,in large part, that he planned hisnew University as a communityof scholars where research had asgreat a role as teaching, andwhere academic freedom was se¬cure.“. . . German scholars played aprominent role in the new Univer¬sity. One of our first faculty mem¬bers was Hermann von Holst,called by President Harper fromthe University of Freiburg, whobecame one of the great authori¬ties on American constitutionalhistory. Ernst Freund later cameto this country as a graduate ofthe German universities, and be¬came one of our foremost scholarsin the field of public law.«, . . ONE OF our German-trained faculty was William E.Dodd, the historian who returnedto Germany in 1933 as US ambas¬sador under Franklin D. Roose¬velt. By then, however, our rela¬tionship with Germany had takena new turn. German scholarshiphad already contributed much toour colleges and universities; be¬ginning in 1933, with the increas¬ing pressure of the Hitler regimeon the academic community great numbers of the German scholarscame to us to teach and do re¬search in this country. The groupincluded men of the most distin¬guished reputation in science andscholarship and American collegeand universities received themgladly.“It was not easy, at first, forthe newcomers to adjust to Amer¬ican teaching methods,” saidKimpton, “... and I must admit itwas not always easy for us ... Icannot speak for our German-born fatuity members, but forthis University, and I am sure,for many others, the effort waswell worth it. We learned fromeach other, to our mutual benefit,and these men . . . made contribu¬tions that benefitted the entireworld of science and scholarship.". . . the relationship we hadthus achieved was not disruptedeven by the outbreak of WorldWar II, although for our menfrom Germany a state of war be¬tween their old home and theirnew country created a difficultperiod. The University did all thatit could to support and protect theGerman-born members of its fac¬ulty in this period, and I hope thattheir burden was eased a bit bythe spirit that prevailed both hereand elsewhere. This spirit was ex¬pressed by Chancellor Hutchins ina speech he delivered on the daythe war in Europe ended. *. . . thetask should be that of working forreconstruction and reconciliationrather than reveling in the joysof victory or continuing war-en¬gendered hatreds.’ ”Kimpton illustrated this “spiritof reconciliation” by citing the UCand University of Frankfurt ex¬change. President Heuss brought a mes¬sage of gratitude for post warAmerican help to Germany.President Heuss praised theUniversity for offering a sanctu¬ary to German scholars and teach¬ers during the time his nation wascontrolled by the Nazi dictator¬ship.REFERRING to the educationalcontroversy in the United Statesand Europe over teaching meth¬ods and the need for more tech¬nical education, Dr. Heuss placedhimself on the side of the hu¬manists.Using American Presidents Jef¬ferson and Adams as humanisticexamples, Dr. Heuss said that thetraditional classical educationshould lead a student towardgreater responsibility for his ownpeople and others.President Heuss was accompa¬nied by His Excellency WilhelmGrewe, German ambassador tothe United States; Hans Bott,principal assistant to the Presi¬dent; Sigismund Baron vonBraun, chief of protocol; Dr.Ernst Ludwig Heuss, son of Pres¬ident Heuss; Wiley T. Buchanan,Jr., chief of protocol for the Unit¬ed States; Edward J. Savage,press officer, department of state;and Freidrich Baron von Lupin,consul general of the German con¬sulate in Chicago.After his visit to UC, the Ger¬man counsel on Heuss’ behalfpresented Chancellor Kimptonwith an autographed, silver¬framed picture of the President.Four other members of theUniversity faculty and administra¬tion received books on Germanart at the presentation.WE MOVEDto1003 EAST 55thUNIVERSITY TAVERNAuthorized Agentfor U. of C.CLASS RINGSwatchesRudy's Jewelry1523 East 53rd StreetJune 27, 1957 • CHICAGO MAROON • 3 Am> ,•-'ym3 <i' *IIifrHSi*if uStaler field. 5 30 pm.

Hutchins.Reprinted from the Sun-Times on this page is the Sun-Times book anddrama critic Herman Kogan's account of the Great Books course. Kogan (anex-UC'er and Maroon staff member) is the author of the recent and widelyacclaimed book, "The Creat EB/' published by the UC Press.Robert Maynard Hutchins nodded curtlyto the man at his side, Mortimer J. Adler, andthen addressed one of the other 50 personsseated around a large, square table in the Univef-city club: Paul Harper, if you had been a memberof the Senate in Athens, would you have voted toacquit or convict Socrates?”“To convict!” replied Harper, a well-known Chi¬cago lawyer.“Why?” asked Adler.“Because, although Socrates may technically nothave been guilty of what he was charged with, hecertainly was an awful public nuisance.”Hutchins, cocking an eyebrow, grinned. “Well,we shall examine the Harper theory of justice laterin this discussion. Now, Mrs. Russell, how wouldyou have voted?”THUS, ON an evening in 1943, the start of whatwas to become the oldest continuous adult class ofthe Great Books movement, a session and a recordto be celebrated at the same club next Wednesdaynight with a dinner to which will come not onlymany of the surviving members of the originalgroup but others who joined in that 15-year period.This unique class had its origins a few weeksearlier when Hutchins, then president of the Uni¬versity of Chicago, summoned to his office WilburC. Munnecke, one of the university’s vice presidentsand now business manager of the Sun-Times. “I’vereceived a proposal from our School of business,”said Hutchins, “to start an executive training pro¬gram. What do you think of it?”“Sounds all right,” replied Munnecke, “but whatwe really need is a program to help people afterthey become executives. Take me, for example. I’msupposd to be an executive, but the truth is thatI cannot read or write properly — and neither cana lot of other executives you and I could name!”This sparked a discussion climaxed by Mun-necke’s suggestion that Hutchins and Adler, theUniversity’s professor of the philosophy of lawand a fervent advocate of the Great Books pro¬gram, organize an off-campus class in which Chi¬cago business leaders might read and then discussand argue about the great writings of Westerncivilizations. (In 1927 Adler, taking his cue fromJohn Erskine at Columbia university, had organ¬ized such classes for adults in New York’s Cooperunion and since 1930 had conducted similar classeson the UC campus.)HUTCHINS invited several such men to an infor¬mal luncheon at the Chicago club; besides himselfand Munnecke, the group included Paul Russell,vice president and a director of the Harris. Trustand Savings bank; Harold H. Swift, head of themeat-packing firm, and Laird Bell, the distin¬guished Chicago attorney.“Will Munnecke says you guys don’t know howto read or write,” said Hutchins. “He thinks weought to get a Great Books course going to helpyou. Are you interested?”A good idea, the men agreed; indeed, a great idea.And, suggested someone, why not include wiveswho might want to join?And soon the first class was under way, withHutchins and Adler as discussion leaders, Plato’s“Apologia” the work under scrutiny. In addition tothe men who had been at the luncheon, this openingsession included William Benton, th£n a vice presi¬dent at the University of Chicago, and Mrs. Benton;Mrs. Tiifany Blake, social and cultural leader;Marshall Field; Meyer Kestnbaum, president ofHart, Schaffner and Marx, and Mrs. Kestnbaum;Walter Paepcke, chairman of the Container Corp.,and Mrs. Paepcke; Clay Judson, influential attor¬ney, and Mrs. Judson, well-known sculntor; JudgeRoger Kiley; Col. and Mrs. George T. Langhorne;Hughston McBain. president of Marshall Field andCo., and Mrs. McBain; Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Barnes;Lynn A. Williams Jr., vice president of the Stewart-Warner Corp., and Mrs. Williams; Mr. and Mrs.Hermon Dunlap Smith; Mr. and Mrs. ChesterCampbell, and other business and social leaders.Sessions were held once every two weeks. Occa¬sionally either Hutchins or Adler was spelled byMilton Mayer, one of the brightest of Americanwriters and wits; it was Mayer who jocularlylabeled the group the Fat Men’s Great Books Class,not because of the girth of its members but becauseof its general financial affluence and also becausethe campus group wa9 often referred to as theGreat Men’s Fat Books Class.At the start, Hutchins and Adler later admitted, they were worried that some of the members hadjoined as a kind of intellectual lark and/or to watcha university president in action as a teacher.BUT THEY soon learned that their misgivingswere without basis. All that first year the class re¬mained as full as at the start, and its enthusiasmfor the project and its ideas grew as the membersread works and authors ranging from the Declara¬tion of Independence and Machiavelli to OedipusRex and St. Thomas Aquinas. “Everyone partici¬pated for all he was worth,” Adler recently recalled,“and they tried to read the books from the outsetand tried to talk and talk about them.”The last meeting of that initial year was a specialone: along with discussion of the work, the discus¬sants sipped champagne and ate caviar. The work:“The Communist manifesto” of Karl Marx andFriedrich Engels. And it was also clear that themembers wanted to go on for another year. Theydid — and , as Adler has put it, “that’s the way ithas been, with each year leading to another. Theclass will go on forever. It’s the class that neverends, as it should be.”BEYOND THE individual satisfactions derivedby members of the 15-year class, various move¬ments and developments have been stimulated byits formation.In that very year, Benton, having become chair¬man of the board of the Encyclopaedia Britannica,Inc., proposed publication of the Great Books ofthe western world. And by 1952, after monumentallabors by Adler and a large staff, and at a post ofsome $2,000,000, the 54-volume set,, plus the Syn-topicon—a two-volume index to the Great Ideas—was issued.In 1947 the Great Books foundation was estab¬lished. In ensiling years this organization has devel¬oped many thousands of seminars in this countryand in Canada, has published an inexpensive setof reading selections,' has stimulated interest inthe Great Books.The Aspen institute of humanistic studies, found¬ed by Paepcke in 1950, has conducted the nationallycelebrated executive seminars in the Great Booksevery summer at Aspen, Colo. Thse, in turn, haveled to others sponsored in their own cities by va¬rious business corporations and labor unions.IN ADDITION, the early success of the classspurred the formation of adult reading and dis¬cussion programs, use of special films about theGreat Books in high school classrooms, and thefoundation of the Institute for philosophical re¬search in San Francisco, which has devoted the lastfive years to a detailed study of the idea of humanfreedom.After he left the University of Chicago in 1952to assume charge of this Institute, Adler—nick¬named by Hutchins “The Great Bookie”—continuedto come to Chicago once a month to “carry on inthe old style.” He estimates that he flies about36,000 miles a year to conduct the class. And, quiteobviously and eloquently, he believes it is wellworth it.“NOTHING COMPARES to the kind of discus¬sion we now have in the University club class,” hesays. “Fifteen years ago these people found itdifficult to get through 20 or 30 pages for anyassignment. Now they read five times that withease. Fifteen years ago, they were something lessthan articulate in their remarks and had to beprodded to make them. Now they are more thanarticulate.“They are eloquent and ready to speak to thepoint, whatever it may be. Nothing floors themany longer. They have the kind of at-homenessin the world of ideas you might hope for but notreally expect.“THEY TALK reasonably. Years ago they bick¬ered about a point, merely pushing their prejudicesin each other’s faces. Now they argue everythingwithout passion, entertain views they don’t agreewith in order to see what they are worth, advancereasons against reasons, and recognize when theyhave failed to prove their side of the case.“In short, they have at last become liberally edu¬cated men and women, as they certainly were notwhen they were graduated from college, and werenot 15 years ago, when they might have thoughtthey were. This class is living proof of the wholepoint of the Great Books program—that it is alifetime’s undertaking and that nothing short ofspending a lifetime at it, reading and discussingthe Great Books year in and year out, really doesthe job.”24~Hour PAINT & HARDWARE CO.Kodachrome colorfilmprocessing fHyde Park’s Most CompleteModel Camera Shop Paint and Hardware Store1342 E. 55th HY 3-9259 1154-58 E. 55th St. uc Discount HY 3-3840 Chancellor Lawrence A.

A justifiably and gratifyingly respon¬sive audience nearly filled International house auditorium forthe June 14 concert.Opening with Mozart’sQuartet in C major, K. 465,the group played with warmthand vigor. The choice of materialwas particularly felicitous. Thequartet seemed aware that Mo¬zart’s music (particularly thispiece) is far from lifeless, and inturn imparted the life in the mu¬sic to the audience.Next was Bartok’s Quartet No.4, vigorous and wiry, with all thehumor and richness of the bestBartok. The ensemble excelled inits rendition of this piece. Theexcitement of the tightly writtenand the tightly—but not rigidly—played music came across to theaudience. And the audience unlikeso many audiences, was not afraidto be amused when the musicwas amusing. The exquisitelybalanced piece was played enthu¬siastically and masterfully. Occa¬sional mistakes were gladly to beforgiven in the face of such re¬markably accurate and compre¬hensive feeling and power ofprojection.The scheduled program endedwith Beethoven’s Quartet in Cmajor, opus 59, No. 3. The fourgave a lucid, lyrical interpreta¬tion of the pleasant piece. In itsdramatic unpretentiousness, thecomposition was a welcomechange from the usual titanic Bee¬thoven quartet. — somehow itseemed friendlier. A clean work,cleanly played, it constituted asubstantial, satisfying experience.The audience’s judgment, am¬ply confirmed by this reviewer,was distinct enough that the quar¬tet was obliged to play an encore,the minuet from Haydn’s C major quartet, on which they did a glow¬ing job.John Herzog Orchestra meetsUC’s orchestra will meetMonday evenings throughoutthe summer quarter.Rehearsals are in Mandel hallat 7:15 p.m. Students interestedin joining the orchestra may at¬tend any rehearsal.Next Monday’s rehearsal willbe held in the Ida Noyes theater.For information call Don Wil*’son at RE 4-1915 or Richard O’*Neil at HY 3-1522.pilililHliiHlililliiliuiiiiiiiiiiliiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiHiiittiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiii|CtellOfle JaJifcpmBtelE j. arthur rank's =| ACROSS THE BRIDGE %I with Rod Steiger and Ralph Richardson in a novel affair in color. =—- beginning july 4 — |: (special matinee 2 pm) =I BONJOUR TRISTESSE §= and =s j m. barrie's §THE ADMIRABLE CRICHTON |Retitled “Paradise Lagoon/' but faithfully and funnily brought to the gscreen in color, with Kenneth Moore.

However, two-ton sputniksin outer space, fright fulness in the Near East, France, and among our good neighbors to thesouth, as well as a recession at home, lead me to do violence to this ancient tradition. I findit far more pleasant to talk about where you have been rather than where you are going.In military vernacular, reference is made to the University of Chicago,. Now our great university isand has always been a weirdand wonderful place, filledwith distinction, contradiction,and controversy. The distinctionI hope is obvious to even the mostcasual observer, while the contra¬diction and controversy, thoughequally obvious, need some expla¬nation.THIS UNIVERSITY has been ina fight about the bachelor’s degreealmost since the day the doois ofCobb hall swung open, and theanomaly of the situation is thatthe great distinction of the univ er¬sity and its point of greatnest em¬phasis lie in the field of graduatestudy and research. The greatestof the wonders of this wonderfuluniversity is a kind of “Old faith¬ful’” geyser which regularly andspectacularly e r u p t s over thebachelor’s degree in spite of thefact that the chief tourist interesthas always been in the distanthigh and spectacular peaks ofScholarly and scientific eminence. dor's decree, so that a studentwith a special passion for botanyor even that slightly vulgar field,American history, was allowed toindulge it almost to the exclusionof all else. •It was about this time that thedepartment, whether of philos¬ophy or chemistry or sociology,became recognized as the basicunit of academic organization.And since the department consist¬ed of specialists, the bachelor’scurriculum came to be dominatedif not controlled bv those pri¬marily interested in specialization. of in his philosophy. I won’t tryto describe the nature of thechange, beyond saying that it wasan effort to capture the best ofboth these worlds and combine insome new synthesis the values ofthe required and general on theone hand and the elective andmore specialized on the other. Butagain it is the genius of Hegelto insist that history never finallysolves problems but only ..createsnew ones. And it is a new set ofproblems that has agitated ourfaculty and student body in cycli¬cal fashion over the past year. Chancellor Lawrence A.The contradiction has its ex¬planation, I suppose, in the fact—and it is a fact— that the bach¬elor’s degree really is important.It is the beginning of seriouslearning, both for those who endtheir formal education at thispoint and for those who go onto graduate study. Harvard, withits more than three centuries andits great eminence in scholarshipand research, expresses this bysaying that the heart of Harvarduniversity is Harvard College; andwe, with equal distinction butfewer years, are saying the samething. I only wish that the passionOf our scholars for the bachelor’sdegree would express itself moreoften through enthusiastic under¬graduate teaching. AND NOW let me skip over thenext quarter of a century, inwhich there was endless academicmonkeying and meddling with thebachelor’s degree, caused by thepressures of departmental groups.It is the contribution of the Uni¬versity of Chicago under the gift¬ed direction of Mr. Hutchins totake a stand diametrically op¬posed to the free-election, depart-mentally-determined program ini¬tiated at Harvard. The new Col¬lege of the University of Chicagoproclaimed that the student underThe entire text of Chan¬cellor Lawrence A. Kinip-ton’s convocation addressappears on this page. Thespeech was delivered atUC’s 278th convocation.SOME HISTORY is in order atthis point if we are to place thisgreat controversy over the bach¬elor’s degree in its proper per¬spective, and again I make refer¬ence to our distinguished sister.Harvard. When Mr, Eliot becamehead of that ancient institution,the world of education had en¬tered upon a period of confusionand change. The older collegiatetradition of drill in the classicallanguages and mathematics, witha grave nod at moral philosophy,was rapidly playing out; and newan dexciting fields of knowledgewere erupting all over the land¬scape. The natural sciences, gen-teelly’disguised in the British uni¬versities as natural philosophy,were beginning to play a livelypart in the thinking and action ofmen. The serious study of societywas coming into its own, and anew concern about modern lan¬guages rather than Greek andLatin began to manifest itself. Inthe face of alt these new interestsand innovations, the clear andclean classical pattern for thebachelor’s degree began to breakdown. Under the pressure- of stu¬dents to study and faculty toteach these new-fangled areas ofknowledge, the student was firstallowed and then encouraged tosample them out of his own curi¬osity and even whimsey. Thus de¬veloped the elective system andalong with it a curriculum thatallowed and even promoted in¬tensive specialization for the bach* the elective system was endingup with an indigestible intellectualsmorgasbord that did not containthe ingredients of a sound and bal¬anced academic diet. I omit, in theinterests of time, a few of the in¬novating features of the new cur¬riculum, such as early entrance,no compulsory class attendance,and placement and comprehensiveexaminations. The fundamentalpurpose of the new College was togive each student a common andcomprehensive background in thebasic field of knowledge and thento string all these cultural if notcultured pearls together upon athread of philosophical synthesis.This purpose was to be accom¬plished by general rather thanspecific departmental courses,and, since the only way to get thedepartments out of the act wasto drop the curtain on them, anew faculty was created in whichthe departmental lines were omit¬ted. There was no free electionand each student moved throughthe same fourteen courses andwas granted the bachelor's degreeupon their completion. This wasthe ultimate rebellion against thedisorder and whimsicality of freeand specialized choice. HOW GENERAL should generaleducation be? If it is very general,does not the student end up witha kind of smattering of knowledgeby which he becomes endlesslyarticulate about all subjects butfails really to understand anyone? And aren’t there certainfields of knowledge which donot respond readily to generalityin any case ? How does one knowabout mathematics without reallyknowing mathematics? Is it ofany value to be acquainted withthe basic rules that hold for mostmajor languages if one cannotread the simplest newspaper arti¬cle in French or German? Andisn’t science the ability to dosomething in a certain way, whichis not to be confused *w i t h aknowledge of its history and aphilosophical grasp of its meth¬odology ?But apart from these questionsof whether certain subject mat¬ters do not yield to generalizedtreatment, there remains a linger¬ing doubt about how a studentbest grasps even the generalmeaning and significance of anarea such as the humanities.Might he not, for example, ob¬tain more real sensitivity for thevalues of literature by an inten¬sive study of Hamlet than by arapid reading of everything fromHerodotus to Hemingway, fromEuripides to Eliot, and from Platoto Proust ? our history has created for us.There remain more specific unre¬solved difficulties that must findanswers. How much of a student’stime do we give to the requiredcurriculum of broad *tnd sharedtraining? Some say that three-quarters of his time should beallotted to obtaining acquaintancewith those fundamental ideas andfacts which create the basis ofmutual understanding and com¬munication. Others insist that anysuch allotment is ridiculous andpreposterous. If a student has towaste a quarter of his time ob¬taining a smattering of a lot ofthings, perhaps this is allowable,but certainly three years shouldbe given over really to learningsomething about something. Therope on which the pulling andhauling occurs in this tug of wasis the poor student, and some¬times, I regret to say, he isstretched all out of shape by theexercise. of battle, :i new and exciting pat¬tern for the bachelor’s degreethat, like all good treaties, is unsatisfactory to the most antagon-istic parties but nonetheless repro-sents a step forward.HEGEL WAS the great philos¬opher of history, and he had somevery ingenious and profoundthings to say about the movementof events. He pointed out that anew way of doing things alwaysproduces an inexorable swing toits opposite, and finally, in thefullness • of time, a positionemerges which incorporates upona new level the virtues of theseopposites. The year 1953 producedan Hegel,-an revolution upon ourcampus that had more heat andviolence than Hegel ever dreamedtiititiitHiiiiittmiiiittiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiititinttiiiiiiiimtiiiimiiiiiiiitiitmiiiimumtiiitiiiiiiiitiiiHimiii17 UCers Phi BetSeventeen UC students, ten of them from the Chicago area,have been elected to Phi Beta Kappa national honorary society.The ten Chicago scholars are; Joseph M. Baron, John A.Brentlinger, Leon-k Kass, Judith L. Podore, Sarah R. Pustelnik,Mrs. Gwendolyn Zack, Norman L. Mages, Arnold B. Moore,Gerald J. Post and Jacob Michaelsen.Others elected were: Edmund F. Becker, Louise Maron Her¬man Wen-Geun Chew, Miss Hwa Tsang, Lee H. Batsel, DonaldA. Messick and Richard J. Thomas. SHOULD EACH student becompelled to take exactly thesame courses and to read and dis¬cuss the same manuals? Underthe free elective system the stu¬dent did hear and enjoy somegreat lectures upon some impor¬tant subjects, and he did learn thevalues of undirected intellectualbrowsing. It is a fine thing totake a course in Greek simply be¬cause one has an interest in learn¬ing something about this magnifi¬cent language; and if one’s pri¬mary interest lies in the humani¬ties it is a fine thing also to takea sporting flutter in the mysteriesof chemistry or higher mathe¬matics.But our history has generatedanother set of problems on theelective and specialized aspects ofthe bachelor’s degree. How spe¬cialized should the specializationhe? It is said with same degreeof plausibility that those membersof the departments who reluctant¬ly instruct the undergraduateteach these courses as if everystudent were a candidate for thedoctor’s degree. There are someserious students, it is said, whowould like to take a degree inphysics with no intention what¬soever of b e c o m i n g physicists,and there are others who wouldlike to enjoy the magnificence ofour literature without sharing theprofessor's enthusiasm for deci¬phering the involutions of Finne¬gan’s Wake. It is of value forthe departmental professor to beenormously enthusiastic aboutthe intricacies of his subject, butmust a student, in order to re¬ceive a bachelor’s degree in the■area, himself become a m i n o rmaster of intricacies? FINALLY, there’s the interest¬ing organizational p r o b 1 c m ofwhat part or parts of the com¬plex structure of the institutionshould be in charge of this pro¬gram for the bachelor’s degree,and it is over this very questionthat our University has eruptedin the course of this year. Shouldthe Department of chemistry, forexample, have full and final con¬trol of the student’s entire pro¬gram if he proposes to take adegree in chemistry? Should theDepartment of English control allthe work in the field of the hu¬manities from English composi¬tion and the comma splice up tothe highest reaches of correlatingthe quartos and fojio of Shake¬speare’s plays? Those whose pri¬mary interest is in the more gen¬eral aspects of the student’s edu¬cation insist that they must havea strong if not dominant voice inthe control of the program, sincethey and they alone have an in¬terest and indeed a career in un¬dergraduate education, THIS IS why students alwayshave received and always will re¬ceive a superior education at theUniversity of Chicago, and I con¬gratulate you upon the degreebeing awarded you today.Among the historians of thepresent day, there is a popularthesis, a corollary to the thinking IjMf1 CD malrA 4*of Hegel, that war and revolution CD maK" f Trarely settle anything: they onlycreate new and unanticipatedproblems that the slow movementof history must reluctantly faceup to and resolve. And this, ofcourse, is true, whether upon thelocal or international scene. Wehave new problems and it wouldbe foolish to say that they are allresolved. But nonetheless theworld makes progress and so dowe. Out of the controversy of ourtimes there has slowly emerged,though still blurred by the smokeJuly 11, next issueTHIS NEW degree will corixMof a general component contain¬ing within it all the rigor amidiscipline that the highest stand¬ards of our University can impose.It will contain within it too aspecialized part which hopefullywill not represent only those eso¬teric interests contributed by ad¬vanced scholarship and researchbut will follow naturally and eas¬ily from the broad base of thegeneral. There will be also withinit freedom for the student toelect some courses that representonly his interest of the moment.And finally, and most important,the direction of the program willbe under a single faculty whichis either exclusively general norexclusively departmental but con¬sists of those scholars and teach¬ers who share a common interestin the training of the under¬graduate.Not all the problems, as I say.are resolved, but out of our warsand revolutions at least a newamphitehater has been construct¬ed in which the remaining issuesmay be commonly discussed.Your University has alwaysbeen and always will be a bat¬tleground, but she is filled withhappy warriors who out of end¬less struggle create the new. Thisnew will better meet the needsof our place and time, but thatultimate treaty to produce eternalpeace and an unchanging curricu¬lum has not been written andnever will be at our University.UC has received more than$5,500,000 in royalties in its15-year affiliation with Ency¬clopedia Britanniea, it was dis¬closed at the encyclopedia’s birth¬day luncheon.The luncheon in the Drake ho¬tel, at which Chancellor Lawi em •A.
