Abandon loop centerThe Downtown Center of the University of Chi¬cago is expected to be moved to campus, accordingto a high university official.The existence of University College as an autonomouseducational and administrative body would then be dis¬continued and the name no longer used. The obligationsfor curriculum construction and control will subse¬quently be transferred to the pertinent existing campusfaculties.The building space of the center, the rent of whichconsumes a tremendous portion of the annual budget,would almost certainly be abandoned. Whether facilitiesin the downtown area would be maintained at all wouldbe dependent upon the needs and desires of the indi¬vidual faculties.These points were proposed by a committee formedbv the Chancellor for the purpose of examining the or¬ganization, course of study and future of the UniversityCollege. Chairman of the three-man committee, whichwas organized last January, is Daniel Boorstin. Servingwith Boorstin are Gwin J. Kelb and William D. Neff.The investigating committee was set up to make itsstudy because of a general campus feeling that coursespresently being offered, for credit, at the DowntownCollege were not up to the regular standard of the Uni¬ versity. The committee had the additional charge of de¬fining the areas of study in “adult education.”Many campus officials have voiced the objection thatthe center is really a part of the University in name only.Aside from the fact that it is unable to grant degrees,the Center has appeared to many people as a separateinstitution in effect. It has no permanent faculty, en¬gages in little or no research and many of its studentsare never officially admitted to the University.The special committee found many of these complaintsto have much validity. Especially, it held that the lackof a permanent faculty resulted in a too complete con¬trol by its own administrators.The members of the committee also voiced reserva¬tions as to the significance and value of some of thecourses and course materials being used. In effect, thecommittee stated that the downtown center had lostwhatever “extension” quality it possesses when Harperfirst envisioned it.Moreover, the committee expressed an opinion thatcourses presented in the name of the University shouldbe under the control and supervision of the University’sfaculties. The faculties know what they want producedby an educational program and should be the judge ofeffectiveness and competency.A second central point is one of finances. The Down¬ town Center loses a great deal of money annually; thecommittee felt that the University could use the moneynecessary to stabilize the downtown faculty to a moreprofitable effect on campus.When founded the University College was a pioneer¬ing institution, breaking academic fresh ground in theloop. Since then four other institutions of a reputablequality have established branches or central locations inthe loop area. These are Roosevelt, Northwestern, Loy¬ola and DePaul.Instead of pioneering and providing unique oppor¬tunities, the downtown center now finds itself in seriouscompetition with these four other educational institu¬tions.The center was established by Harper to providechannels for circulation of educational material to work¬ing adults. This is still the primary function of the cen¬ter; however, the opportunities for adult education,rather meager in Harper’s day, have increased tremen¬dously.The establishment of evening programs on campus,on the other hand will benefit from the academic atmos¬phere of the University and the university will benefitfrom the increased utilization of its facilities and facul¬ties. Further, the Hyde Park area as a whole will benefitfrom the expansion of campus activities.Maroon elects co-editorsLast Friday, the Maroon staff elected Neal Johnston andLance Haddix. as co-editors for 1959-60.Johnston and Haddix won on the first ballot.

Kimp-ton interrupted his first extendedvacation in eight years to makethe announcement.Simpson, 46 years old, is anauthority on the Puritan era ofBritish and American history. Heis a prize-winning teacher whowas educated at the Universityof Oxford, England, and at Har¬vard university.On the faculty for 13 years,Simpson will assume immediate¬ly the newly-created deanship.Kimpton explained that “theappointment of Alan Simpsoncompletes the administrative for¬malities for the re-evaluated Col¬lege at UC. The Chancellor added“More than five years of studyhave gone into examining howthe resources of UC can bestmeet the general and special edu¬cational needs of the young menand women of this generation.“We have re-designed our Col¬lege programs to strengthen theCollege for each individual stu¬dent and to provide for growthto meet the anticipated ‘studentexplosion’ of the 1960s and 1970s.Alan Simpson has shown thequalities of responsible and in¬formed leadership that such aCollege will need.”Simpson said that “I am step¬ping into a job which many menChangesevolvedFrom its very inception tothe present day, no one hasbeen quite sure what to dowith the College of the Universityof Chicago.

I hope that I can do justiceto their work and their hopes.”Simpson was born July 25, 1912,in the industrial community ofGateshead, Durham, England. Hewas graduated from the Univer¬sity of Oxford, England, in 1933with first class honors. He wasawarded his Master’s degree in1935, and his PhD degree in 1939,both by the University of Oxford.He was a Commonwealth fellowat Harvard university in theUnited States from 1935-37.Simpson was senior lecturer atthe University of St. Andrews,Scotland, when he joined the Brit¬ish Royal artillery in 1941 andserved as an officer during the“Blitz of Britain.” He joined theUC faculty in 1946 and becameprofessor of History in 1959.Kimpton, shortly after assum¬ing the chancellorship in 1951, in¬stituted the study whicn culmi¬nated in re-designing the College.The new College of UC now:• Has been given indepen¬dent status as a four-year insti¬tution with control over thegranting of bachelor’s degrees.• Has its own faculty whichteams a general education staffwith “world renowned” author¬ities in the special fields. The College faculty now totals morethan 200, double the staff ofthe “old” College.• Retains the basic commit¬ment to general education butadds a number of flexible ap¬proaches to career preparationand allows more free electivesubjects.“The keynote of the new Col¬lege is balance,” Simpson said.In a statement accepting theappointment, Simpson reviewedthe efforts to organize the Col¬lege. He said: “I am not an edu¬cational theorist. But I think Iknow what an educated manlooks like. He is thoroughly inoc¬ulated against humbug; thinksfor himself, and tries to give histhoughts, in speech or on paper,some style.“The genius of the Universityof Chicago has been the spiritof experiment in undergraduateeducation, and we have sharedthe risks as well as the excite¬ment of the pioneer. Recently theorder of thg day at the Universityof Chicago has been ‘Let us col¬lect ourselves for another leap.’“The keynote of this period hasbeen the search for better bal¬ance in our system of liberal edu¬cation.“We have balanced the claimsof specialized training againstthose of general education. YVehave weighed the claims of indi-in the Collegeover many yearsUniversity; William Rainey Har¬per, UC’s first president, wouldhave been just as pleased to behead of a university without aCollege.When the infant university firstconvened in Cobb hall on October1, 1892, Harper presided over 594students. Of this number, slightlymore than half were graduate ortheological students, an indicationof the importance of graduatestudy even then.The University then had a fac¬ulty of 120. Harper had alwaysbelieved that the faculty membershould be first and foremost ascholar. Such a conviction was ultimately to be more congenialto the graduate schools than thecollege, where the students wouldbe mjre in need of instructorsacting as such.The College was divided intotwo parts—the academic collegesand the senior colleges, each con¬sisting of two years work. Theywere also called the junior andsenior colleges. A student's firsttwo years and last two years dif¬fered greatly in nature. Duringthe first half, the student washeld to a rather fixed curriculumwhile in the latter part he hadvirtual freedom to take whatever(See ‘UC’s’ page 3) vidual choice against an earlierfaith in uniformity.

The adminis¬trators were reluctant to allowthe junior college student intosenior college courses.The colleges themselves weretour in number; Arts, Literature,Science, and Commerce and Busi¬ness administration. Even then,though, the problem of credittransfer appeared. Senior collegestudents found it easier to getinto graduate courses than juniorcollege student found it to getinto senior college classes. TheCollege became a mere waitingplace between high school andserious academic work.During Harry Pratt Judson’sterm of office, generally academi¬cally uneventful, the junior col¬lege was reduced to an even lawerlevel and fell under the completecontrol of the new quite autono¬mous departments.The problem was significantenough for President Burton toprofile propose moving the entire Collegeacross the midway, establishinga four year degree, and buildingan admissions program along thelines of the early entrant pro¬gram. Burton’s early death andMax Mason’s early resignationprevented much action from be¬ing taken until the Robert May¬nard Hutchins stepped into office.At this time most College courseswere being taught by graduatestudents, and the annual collegefaculty turnover was 40 per cent.It was Hutchins’ thesis that theAmerican universities had mod¬eled themselves after the greatGerman universities which hadproduced impressive amounts ofscholarship. But the German stu¬dent entering the universities hadgone through the humanisticgymnasium, whereas his Ameri¬can counterpart had attended ahigh school system which haddecayed and now was totally in¬adequate to give him the generaleducation which he needed so bad¬ly. Hutchins proposed that the College of UC assume this func¬tion.Reform followed reform inclose succession. In 1930 the twoyear College was established, thevarious departments were unitedin four divisions, and the Collegefaculty was granted a much larg¬er degree of autonomity.In 1931 what became the first"New Plan’’ was conceived, a twoyear general education College,the abolishment of the credit sys¬tem, and the establishment ofNew dean presenfs viewsALAN SIMPSON, the dean of the new Col¬lege, regards the position he will hold asrepresenting an “immensely difficult andimportant job.”He went on to elaborate on the immediate prob¬lems as he sees them. “The old College, in theHutchins’ era of 1946 when I came here, was anunbalanced institution. That College representeda remarkable pioneering experiment with both vir¬tues and vices."In 1952 when the college went through its lastmajor ‘reconstruction’ period, the attempt wasmade to create a more balanced institution whichwould preserve all the good aspects and effects ofthe old system. We are now trying to further thisbalance.”Simpson went on to explain what he meant bythe word. "In the past the UC student had a ratherrigid class program, we intend now to introducea more effective elective program. This is whatI mean by balance. *”WE*LL strive for a great balance in inter fac¬ulty relations; there existed for some time a ratherstultifying division between the College and thevarious academic units of the University. We wanta greater balance between teaching and research.We want a more balanced constitution in our stu¬dent body, in terms of social and human types.”The man who is going to attempt to effect thesechanges at Chicago first saw the school in 1938when he arrived here to marry Miss Mary Mc¬Queen McEldowney; but his interest in the schoolwas more than transitory.Simpson, born an English citizen, received hisformal education at Oxford and Harvard, returningto Great Britain in 1938 to join the faculty of St.Andrews in Scotland, while doing research on andwriting his PhD thesis, a degree whic he receivedin 1939. From 1941 to 1945 historian Simpsonserved with the British military forces, first as acaptain and then as a major in the Royal artillery. Although he returned to St. Andrews in 1945,he was in communication even then with fellowhistorians at UC, and in 1946 he accepted an ap¬pointment as assistant professor in the College.For three years Simpson was a staff member ofthe first year social science course, attaining last¬ing fame during the period by writing many of theintroductions to readings in The People ShallJudge, and helping to construct the History ofWestern civilization course, of which he wascourse chairman for a brief time.IN 1949, however, the 46 year old educator de¬cided he had a primary interest in research andwriting which his College commitments would notallow him to fully realize, and he began to devotehis total activity to divisional history courses, andthe production of several notable books, includingthe prize winning Puritanism in Old and NewEngland."My interest in the College never slackened,” hecontinued, "although my degree of involvementdiminished. I still taught a 200-level history se¬quence, and kept in close touch with many collegestudents and faculty members.Simpson went on to explain that he doesn'tthink his separation from the College during thelast ten years is necessarily a deficiency. "Perhapsmy not having been too commited in many recentCollege arguments, while yet knowing what theproblems were will be a help.”SIMPSON, who became an American citizen in1954, recognizes that his new job will practicallyprohibit any serious historical research on his partfor some time. "I have one book to finish first(The Gentry 1540-1660: East Anglian studies) andI intend to devote all my time to acting as dean."I don’t see how I’ll be able to do any teachingfor the next two years. Of course, that excludesany writing. But, I have no intention whatsoeverof abandoning either my teaching or my research—and I hope you’ll emphasize that.”Neal Johnston seven comprehensive courseswere all advocated and realized.Complete College autonomy didn’tcome until 1932.The philosophic ancestor ofwhat is now OMP, and for sometime On, was first established in1937. At this some time a physicaleducation requirement was alsoestablished for the first two years.Certain problems were ignored atthe time though. The Universityhad three major undergraduatedegrees, the PhB and A A (Asso¬ciate of Arts) and the BA—noneof these degrees were acceptedat face value by other institutions.In 1942, however, the mostsweeping change the College hadexperienced was plotted out. Pres¬ident Hutchins had long advocat¬ed that a bachelor’s degree beawarded to the student, when hehad completed the requirementsof the college, regardless of thelength of time needed. Since un¬der the "New plan” the studentmight complete his College re¬quirements after the sophomoreyear, this appeared to be the rea¬sonable time to award him a bach¬elor's degree.In addition, the bill proposedto end the division between thetwo year and the four year Col¬leges. Placement tests of widesrope would, under this proposal,determine each students require¬ments. Although placement exam¬inations had been used in the past,the committee had been ratherconservative.The new reorganization did notgo into effect until 1945, becauseof the war and because the ex¬aminers office needed the intervalto draw up placement tests forthe College. In the same year acourse in mathematics and a for¬eign language course, then par¬tially devoted to a considerationof general language problemswere added to the program.The major problem of 1946-47was what to do with the PhB.Hutchins and his supporters want¬ed to abandon the degree, thecollege faculty voted it out of existence, but the council of theUniversity senate urged recon¬sideration. After a series of com¬promise meetings were held, thedegree was killed.At this same time, the finalCollege comprehensive courseHistory of Western civilizationwas added to the curriculum andthe old Hutchins program reachedits final state.During the past seven yearsChancellor Lawrence A. Kimptonhas occupied the unenviable posi¬tion of the "man in the middle.”Kimpton was heir to three majorproblems from the Hutchins era—neighborhood slum conditions,declining enrollment and Univer¬sity finances. Solving these threequestions has consumed enoughadministration time recently tosomewhat minimize the numberof administrative actions in aca¬demic aspects of the University..Kimpton wished to keep fourfeatures of the old College plan:the comprehensive system, gen¬eral education courses, a Collegefaculty devoted to teaching, andthe early entrant system.In 1953 a joint College-biologicalscience bachelors degree was of¬fered. This led the way for jointdegrees in physical science andhumanities. Later that year thefaculty center passed, by a 29-16margin, a report requiring atleast helf of the content of a col¬lege curriculum to be acceptableto both the college and the divi¬sions.In 1956 a rule was passed bythe College requiring students topass one quarterly in order totake the comprehensive exam.Last summer this rule was somodified that students have topass two quarterly exams toqualify for the comp.In 1958 Kimpton proposed acommittee to study the ‘old’ pro¬gram and make modifications.This group, the Executive com¬mittee on undergraduate educa¬tion produced the current ‘newcollege program which newly ap¬pointed Dean Alan Simpson willcarry out.SPECIAL TO U.

There were no shoutsor cries from the marchers orfrom the thousands of spectatorswho lined both sides of the ring.Scores of slogans denouncedcommunism in all its forms, re¬called the fate of Hungary anddemanded that the prisons beopened in Eastern Europe andin the Soviet Union.Leo Reichman, an Americanstudying in Vienna, in an accountof this demonstration in TheOberlin Review stated: "Commu¬nists have been infiltrating Aus¬trian student organizations. LastWednesday at the University ofVienna many students did notattend class, as a protest. On Fri¬ day the professors closed theschool to add their protest to thatof the students.‘The Youth Festival is and willbe entirely Communist dominaied. The demonstrators on Satur¬day were all non-CommunistCatholic clubs, labor groupssports organizations and students’‘That the Austrian people andstudents definitely stand againstthe idea of the Festival is evi-denced by the demonstration.”‘‘This, incidentally, definitelyconflicts with the mimeographedmaterial from central Youth Fes¬tival headquarters in the US. . ..This material indicated that Aus¬tria welcomed the festival withopen arms. This is not true!”Memorial day, May 29,will be celebrated as a Uni¬versity holiday, announcedJohn P. Netherton, dean ofstudents.
