Though this zero pointbrought about a complete re¬examination of human values, noreally new literary movementshave followed the war; for 30years, the West has been livingin a post - revolutionary period.Two important trends exist inpresent German writing—the con¬servative movement of classicistsand bourgeois literati, and that ofthe expressionists, who emergedanew after suppression by the Na¬tional Socialists.In his talk, Dr. Holthusen con¬centrated on the expressionists,discussing the post-war work andthe philosophies of importantolder writers — Gottfried Benn,Bertold Brecht, Thomas Mann andErnst Juenger. Turning then tothe middle generation of poetsborn before 1920, he character¬ized them by their skepticism;their concern, he stated, is nolonger with philosophical issues,but with the poetic definition of anarrow personal “reality,” i.e. man’s emotional responses totechnical civilization or to nature.Among significant nature poets,he noted Wilhelm Lehmann andKarl Krolow. Prose writers Hein¬rich Boell and Gerd Gaiser seekto give a faithful report of thenew human condition, without ad¬hering to particular ideologies—Boell as a rebellious but sympa¬thetic social critic, Gaiser as acomplete outsider, writing aboutpeople who “experience existencein their defeat.”Speaking briefly of the youngergeneration, Dr. Holthusen saidthat though great lyrical talentis visible among the young poets,their style has a tendency to be¬come collective, since they seemto observe a “super-modern meis- tersinger pult.” Exposing themalaise of their society, the“angry young men” of the Fed¬eral Republic are too often “non¬conformist conformists.” Dr. Hol¬thusen particularly commented onthe young writer Magnus Enzens-berger, with his “Defense of theWolves,” describing utopian feli¬city in a realm of anarchy, andGuenther Gras, author of thenovel “Tin Drum,” a “barbariccounterpart” to Mann’s “FelixKrull,” which appeared last year.This novel, the description of apatient in an insane asylum, pre¬sents the events in wartime andpost-war Germany in a stylesharpened by icy understatementsfrom the point of view of a per¬fect outsider of society.Crime rate dropsin Hyde Park areaThe number of offenses re¬ring in the UC area hasdropped appreciably in the lastsix years according to a re¬port recently released by DonBlakiston, executive assistant toJulian Levi, head of the SouthEast Chicago commission.This report shows that in 1953there were 3961 reported cases ofrobbery, aggravated assault, bur¬glary, larceny and auto theft,while in 1958 there were only 2515such offenses. No figures havebeen compiled yet for 1959.The report was further sub¬divided geographically. In theyear 1958 1020 such crimes were reported in the area bounded by39th street, 47th street, CottageGrove avenue and the Illinois Cen¬tral railroad tracks. There wereless than half this number ofoffenses, or 452, reported between47th street and 51st street, Fivehundred and eighty-eight casesoccurred between 51st and 55thstreets and 272 in the immediateUniversity area, 55th to 60th.In addition 182 such crimes oc¬curred east of the IC tracks and88 were reported between 60thstreet and 61st street.The total figures for all theyears between 1953 and 1958 areas follows: 1953—3961,1954—3632,1955 — 3031, 1958 — 3421, 1957 —2925, 1958- 2515.Decisions by the Executive council (Exec) of Student Government Tuesday night lim¬ned the applicants to be immediately considered for Assembly Vacancies to graduate stu¬dents, and gave it direct responsibility for planning a spring quarter lecture series on theaims of education.An announcement from the ad-.

He did not, however,offer any comment on the aca¬demic freedom question involved,and left a number of other ques¬tions unanswered.Prior to the meeting, eight pro¬fessors, all members of the execu¬tive committee of the school’sAmerican Association of Univer¬sity Professors (AAUP) chapterreleased a statement questioningthe university’s current regula¬tion on the approval of guestspeakers.

Thosewho have examined the veryundergraduate "UndergraduateAnnouncements'' will recognize♦his opinion as one of the University’s sales pitches. Bulletinboard readers know that theseactivities range from the studyof the Bible to the study of Marx,from hiking to bell ringing.Activities bffered to studentsdiffer in that some function asprivate entertainment and instruc¬tion while others have a continu¬ing, public function. Recently, or¬ganizations of both types havesuffered from a lack of studentinterest. We don’t know all thereasons for this apathy. But thoseorganizations with public func¬tions know the effects of this in¬difference: with fewer members,they find it difficult or impossi¬ble to perform their functions.Last year’s failure to publish theCap and Gown is a case in point.Unoccupied seats in SG is another,and student silence on campusmatters is yet another. Severalstudent publications, including the Maroon, constantly seek addi¬tional personnel for their staffs.The enumeration could be extend¬ed considerably. *Quite aside from the servicesthat some organizations perform,the greatest benefit of their activ¬ities is to the participating studenthimself. He may learn new skills,or practice skills he already pos¬sesses, with pleasure and profitto himself and others. Contrary,perhaps, to general belief, thereis no pressure on participants inthese activities to accept anyduties they do not themselves de¬sire to accept. Organizations doin fact exist for the sake of thestudent, and it is in this spirit thatall of them function.It is proper, we think, to callattention to the ancient idea thatthe individual bears a responsi¬bility to his community. Undoubt¬edly many UC students do notthink that their responsibilitiesbegin until after they have gradu¬ated and are less transient mem¬bers of their community. Undoubt¬edly, many have thought of par¬ticipating in some activity, but,well . . assignments are heavy,and with an outside job, how much time is left? Undoubtedlymany never think of their respon¬sibilities at all.It is a truism, but nonethelessa pertinent truism, to observe thatpublic apathy is the chief cause ofmany a public evil. We do notanticipate that great evils will beperpetrated on campus becauseof student apathy to campus af¬fairs. We do fear that much ofthe apathy is due to the student’spreoccupation with his own pur¬suits, which he deems to be ofmore importance than the serv¬ices he might render in any stu¬dent organization. Unfortunately,there is just enough truth herefor this way of thinking to be¬come habitual, so that one day hefinds his reasoning has borneurticating fruit.Finally, however, it is not thethreat of eventual retribution, noraltruism that should spring thestudent into some activity. Heshould participate because his par¬ticipation is edifying to himself.Those who do not understandwhat this edification might beought to emerge from their cavesand find out.Editor's columnGet rid of deferred rushIt is my consideration that thesystem of "deferred rush” whichnow exists on this campus is un¬necessary and undesirable.Before substantiating this opin¬ion, I refer the reader to the Ma¬roon editorial last week in whichit was stated that the editorialboard of this paper is in favor ofthe present system of fraternityrushing. As a body, the boarddoes take this stand. However,there can be a difference of opin¬ion on this seven-man board andhere I wish to set forth the dis¬senting view.The situation which now existsIs this: A first-year student entersthe University and is told that hemay not enter a fraternity houseuntil the formal rushing seasonbegins in the winter quarter. Dur¬ing his fall quarter the first-yearstudent has no connection withany member of a fraternity unlessthere be some accidental acquaint¬ance or a case of "dirty rush.” Weall know that these cases of "dirtyrushing” develop when fraternityX gets to a prospective memberbefore fraternity Y. Naturallyfraternity Y feels cheated andhopes to secure evidence againstfraternity X proving that the lat¬ter has approached the "rushee”during the off-season. dents and one in the winter forfirst-year students) which onlydoubles the job of the fraterni¬ties?It is unfair. Excepting thosewho are “touched” when they firstenter, most first-year studentsknow nothing about fraternitieswhen they are most curious aboutthem. To satisfy their curiositythey must rely on second-hand in¬formation from fraternity men ornon-fraternity people. If theirsource is the latter group — amore likely case since they livewith this group in the dormitories— then the first-year student onlygets reasons as to why he shouldnot join a fraternity. By January,he is either turned against them,or doesn’t care.It is unrealistic. It serves noneof the purposes for which it isdesigned. That is, it doesn’t pre¬vent illegal rushing ^witness thecharges being brought against onefraternity in the IF council at thistime), and therefore does not re¬serve the entire fall quarter fororientation to the University — ifone must consider the fraternitysystem apart from the University.Why doesn’t the IF council in¬stitute a system which wouldmake it legal to approach first-year men shortly after they enter the University — say, one monthafter orientation week. This iscertainly enough time for mostpeople to find out what theirclasses are about and to adjustto the milieu of the University.This would, in my opinion, breakthe dullness which seems to per¬vade the month of November.The period of rushing, pledg¬ing, de-pledging, initiation, etcetera, together with all the non¬sense accompanying it could allbe shortened to a few happyweeks instead of a number ofmonths. Everyone saves time. Un¬less the fraternities take the trou¬ble to contact an entering studentbefore he ever gets to campus, theperiod for illegal rushing is cutconsiderably.Instead of having to take some¬one's word for it, the first-yearstudent gets a chance to look overfraternity houses in vivo. He canchoose for himself. He is notforced to wait for a period of time,then inspect for a period of time,in fact, he is forced to do nothing.He can pledge himself to join afraternity and then he can evendepledge if he decides he doesn’tlike it. This seems to be entirelyin keeping with “a free Univer¬sity.”Lance HaddixWith this situation. I don’tthink lhat the present plan ofrushing works. The reasons arethese:It is harmful to the academiclife of a first-year student. Al¬though the group of men who aredeeply involved with the problemwhen they first enter is compara¬tively small, they are the ones whomust quietly endure the presentsystem whereby their time in thefall is consumed in accepting in¬vitations to "get-togethers” out¬side the fraternity house. Themore of these invitations they ac¬cept, the less time they have todevote to what is, after all, theirpurpose in being here, namely,their education. If this sort ofthing goes on sub rosa in the fallonly to gather strength once it islegalized in the winter, how muchtime does it leave a first-yearman to “get oriented.”It is time-wasting. For both fra¬ternity members and those would-be members, this period of wooingmust now continue over muchmore of the year than it should.Why must there be two periods(one in the fall for transfer stu- Editors-in-chiefLance Haddix Neal JohnstonManaging editorOzzie ConklinBusiness ManagerWilliam G.

What happened to the other three?Well sir, to find the answer, I recently completed a tour ofAmerican campuses where I interviewed 40 million studentsand sold several subscriptions to The Open Roenl for Roys, andit pleases me to re|x>rt that I can now account for those threeelusive undergraduates.The first was an LSU junior named Fred Gaugin. He wasextremely popular, always ready with a smile, fond of folkdancing and pralines, and last semester his Chi Psi brother,?unanimously elected him treasurer of the fraternity. This provedan error. Gaugin, alas, promptly absconded with the moneyand went to Tahiti to paint. 'Hie fraternity is bending everyeffort to extradite Gaugin, but Tahiti, alas, is currently observ¬ing the feast of Dipthong, the Sun-God, a five-year ceremonyduring which all the islanders wear masks, so nobody, alas, cansay for certain which one is Gaugin.fjpfodycan &y hr certain Ithick oucisdMiil.The second missing undergraduate is William Cullen Sigafoos,Oregon State freshman, who went one day last fall to a dis¬reputable vendor named A. M. Sashweight to buy a pack ofMarlboros. Mr. Sashweight did not have any Marl boros be¬cause Marllxjros are only sold by reputable vendors. However,he told Sigafoos that he had another brand which was just asgood, and Sigaloofi, being but an innocent freshman, believedhim.Well sir, you and I know there is no other brand as good asMarlboros. That fine filter, that flavorful flavor, that pleasure,that joy, that fulfillment—are Marlboro’s and Marlboro's alone.All of this was quickly apparent to young Sigafoos and heflew into a terrible rage. "As good as Marlboros indeed!” heshrieked, kicking his roommate furiously. "I am going rightback to that mendacious Mr. Sashweight and give him a thrash¬ing he won’t soon forget!” With that he seized his lacrosse batand rushed out.Mr. Sashweight heard him coming and started running. NowMr. Sashweight, before be became a disreputable vendor, hadtaken numerous prizes as a cross-country runner,and he thoughthe would soon outdistance young Sigafoos. Hut he reckonedwithout Sigafoos’s stick-to-itiveness. At last report the twoof them had passed Cleveland. When they reach the AtlanticSeaboard, bad Mr. Sashweight will get his lumps from Sigafoos,you may be sure, and I, for one, am glad.The third missing undergraduate, also named Sigafoos, is aBennington sophomore named Celeste Sigafoos and, ironically,she never intended to leave college at all. She was merely goinghome for Christmas on the Natchez, Mobile, and Boise Rail¬road, and during the night, alas, her upper berth slammed shuton her. Being a Bennington girl, she naturally did not wish tomake an unseemly outcry, so she just kept silent. The nextmorning, alas, the railroad went bankrupt, and Miss Sigafoostoday is lying forgotten on a siding near Valparaiso, Indiana.Fortunately she has plenty of Marlboros with her.@ 18«0 Mm SbulmftD* * *And how about the rest of you ?

Acomparison of Student Health toa lethal Nazi concentration campis an unwarranted accusation thatunder no circumstances could beproved by the Maroon’s author.In at least three instances Lady-bug’s facts are incorrect; the doc¬tors are not a group of inexperi¬enced interns. They are all pastthat stage of their medical careersand, in some c&ses, are membersof the medical school faculty. Stu¬dents do not wait for hours to seedoctors; service is generally morerapid than one could obtain at anoffice. A nurse whose duty is tofulfill a doctor’s prescribed treat¬ment can not be expected to com¬miserate with every student shesees. Few universities offer suchcomplete medical facilities to stu¬dents. Here we are fortunate that such equipment and staff aremade available.Student Health performs itsfunction well, but there is needfor improvement. I agree withLadybug that the quarterly test¬ing is a crude introduction to Stu¬dent Health. The responsible per¬sons could well devote a great dealof time to its improvement. Theafter-hours reception of studentsin en urgency likewise is an areaof dissatisfaction.In the future I urge that legiti¬mate student criticism of adminis¬trative policy be presented to thepublic as fact, not Ladybug’s emo¬tion and hear say.Sincerely,Douglas R. McManis To the Editors of the Maroon:The article on F’s which washeadlined in the January 29Maroon carries the implicationthat students in the College thisyear are performing less credit¬ably than students were a yearago. In the interests of impartialand accurate reporting the under¬signed should like to state thatthe figures used for comparativepurposes are not properly com¬parable in several important re¬spects. It is fallacious to comparetwo sets of figures without mak¬ing sure what the figures repre¬sent. As the undersigned haverepeatedly stated to the editorsof the Maroon it is our firm con¬viction that students this yearperformed somewhat better thanstudents did a year ago.Knox C. Hill,College ExaminerGeorge L. Playe,Dean of UndergraduateStudentsEditor's noteAfter receiving the above let¬ter from Hill and Playe, the Maroon sent a reporter to Hill inan attempt to discover and correctany error that had been made.One error, which the Maroondiscovered by checking back is¬sues, was in the number of F’swhich were given in the autumnquarter of 1958. The figure, whichwas given as 177, was actually205.Hill said, “A comparison of thisand last year as to the,number ofF’s that were given is not entirelyaccurate. Last year, when thesingle-F rule had just gone intoeffect, many teachers were appre¬hensive about giving F’s to stu¬dents who, although their workwas not satisfactory for the quar¬ter, could, with studying, pass thecomprehensive. Incompletes weregiven instead.“This year, however, after ex¬perience showed us that most stu¬dents who received incompletesfailed the comp. F’s were givenmore liberally.” Hill went on to say, “I feel that, if there is anydifference at all between this andlast year’s classes, it is this year’#class that has the better marks.“In the only classes where firstand second year students wererepresented in equal numbers,”Hill continued, “the grades of firstyear students were higher. I amspeaking of courses such as hu-manities 111, social science HI,foreign languages, biology, andphysical science 105. In theseclasses, the first year students re¬ceived a larger portion of the A’sand B’s and a lower portion of theD’s and F’s than did the secondyear students.”COLLEGE CREDIT TOURTO EUROPEincluding month at Univ. of ViennaLeave June 29 — 60 days$1298 all expenseLocal representatives wantedUniversity Travel Co.18 Brattle St. Cambridge 38, Mass.COMPANY OF THE FOURpresentsROSMERSHOLMHenrik Ibsen's tragedyof human deception8:00 p.m.February 5, 6, 7 and 12, 13 MJohn Woolman Hall1174 E. 57th St.Tickets: $1.50Reservations:Ml 3-4170 —FA 4-4100 Herman Cameras Inc.• We specialize in service• We advise honestly• We carry all standard makes6 S.

They are inherentin the problem of medical care tolarge groups. Dr. Herbelschiemerhas devoted a large portion of hermedical career to correct theseproblems.It is hard for me to understandhow Miss Ladybug could compareher minor discomforts to the tor¬ ments and suffering of the mar¬tyrs of Buchenwald.

Co-Captains GeorgeDuncan and Gunars Vitolins eachaccounted for 16 points in theclose game and then played keep-away from the scurrying Maroonguards in the final few minutesto insure victory. Forward LarryWashington provided support forthe guard twosome with 12 mark¬ers.The game began on a raggededge, but soon sharpened up asVitolins and Duncan ran down thecenter of the court on give-and-gopasses for a number of easy lay-ins. So at halftime the Maroonswere trailing for the first timethis season, 36-30.They made a determined bid atthe start of the second half as-they pulled even at 42-all, but thecool-headed Wayne Staters clamlyretaliated with eight straightpoints and then controlled the ball for sure shots the rest o* thegame. Center Mitchell Watkinswith 18 points was the onlyMaroon threat.However, against the KnoxSiwashers the keyed-up Maroonsattacked right from the start asthey battled the visitors off bothboards and played heads-up de¬fensive. The lead switched backand forth for the first ten min¬utes of the game until theMaroons spurted to a 24-18 ad¬vantage with about six minutesremaining in the half and thenheld their margin for a 28 22 in¬termission lead.Then, at the start of the secondhalf the hosts apparently sewedup the ball game when theyscored seven straight points tobuild up a 13 point, 35-22 bulge.The Siwashers fought back witha full court press that was effec¬tive enough to bring them backto within striking distance of theMaroons at 53-50. But, at thispoint, forward Dan Eby, a latereplacement for the reboundingGary Pearson, hit six free throwsand guard Joel Zemans added fourmore to end the Knox rally.Balanced scoring by theMaroons spelled defeat for theSiwashers as Pearson was highfor the hosts with a modest 13points, but “Gus” got help fromguard Ray Strecker with 12 and center Mitch Watkins who hit 10markers in the first half. Knoxpivot man Bill Granning plunkedin eight straight free throws inthe first half, but then tightenedup in the stretch and made onlytwo out of nine in the importantsecond half. Still, he was highman for the night with 16 points.Guard Dan Geharty added 11 forthe visitors.'B' team winsThe Maroon basketball B-teamkept their undefeated status in¬tact with their second win of theseason over Roosevelt UniversityWednesday, 72-48. This givesCoach Ron Wangerin’s B-teama solid 8-0 record for the year.The “Bees” started slowly asthey trailed at one point 13-11, butthey soon gained momentum andbuilt a 28-23 halftime lead overthe fast-breaking Roosevelters.Then in the second half theMaroons worked their patternssmoothly and the middle of the floor and the base line opened upfor many easy jump shots.Center Gene Ericksen, 6'7", andforward Frbd Paulsell, 6'6", domi¬nated both back boards and hada field day with the short shotsaround the basket. Fred tallied 18points and Gene scored 15, butthey had strong support fromjump-shooting guard Merle Lahtiwith 14 points and reboundingforward Larry Costin, who slip¬ped in 11 points. «High scorer Roosevelt guard A1Williams pushed in 21 points onlong jump shots and center BobRobinson provided his only sup¬port with 15 points.Swimmers lose, winUC’s swimming team lost toBig Ten opponent Minnesota anddefeated Carleton college in lastweek’s swimming meets.Minnesota won both relays andfive individual events in Thurs¬day’s meet, to down UC 62-43. Thelocal team was able, however, to capture four first places from theGophers.Tom Lisco and Roger Harmoneach won two first places in theMinnesota meet.

The knowl¬edge ought to include a little abouteverything and a lot about some¬thing. The essential skills are thecapacity to think clearly and towrite and speak lucidly. Thestandards are those of a civilizedbeing who has some notion ofexcellence.“If we look at the history ofliberal education,” Simpson con¬tinued, “we find that it has al¬ways been contrasted with thetraining which was merely vo¬cational or professional. At itsworst, liberal education through¬out the centuries has sufferedfrom dilettantism or convention¬alism: it was often thought thatthere was a gentlemanly pointbeyond which mental exertionshould not be carried^md a,normfrom which deviatiod^as absurd.“But at its best,” concludedSimpson, “liberal education hasbeen a nursery of public spiritand a school of criticism withoutwhich the achievements of ^ theWest in thought and action wouldhave been impossible.”Born in 1912 in the industrialcommunity of Gateshead, Dur¬ham, England, Simpson was thespn of the circulation manager ofthe EVENING CHRONICLE atNeweastle-on-Tyne, England. I n1930 he entered Worcester collegeat Oxford, receiving his BA inhistory in 1933 with first classhonors.“Oxford,” says Simpson, “isvery unlike anything you see any¬where else in the world.” The,university has had six or sevencenturies of continuous existence.The main quadrangle of Wor¬cester is bounded on one side withmedieval cottages from the 15thcentury, and on the; other side byclassical architecture of the 18thcentury. “The first exposure tothis kind of thing makes a tre¬mendous impact on the student,”Simpson stated.The instruction is principallytutorial at Oxford; the studentmeets with his tutor weekly,alone or with one or two other stu¬dents. The tutor assigns an essaytopic for the- following week, andthat week’s papers are read anddiscussed., “If you’re taking yourwork seriously as I was,” notedSimpson, “you write a 12 to 19page paper every week.” ; ,4,.L*Oxford has 20 collegestf 'There are ^, about?’20 menribercolleges at Oxford. The universityitself is a superstructure, offeringlectures, library; and laboratoryfacilities and so on. There is nocheck on lecture attendance, ahthough students usually listen tosome speakers.Among the merits of the pro¬gram, Simpson mentioned’ theindividual personal attention pro¬vided by the tutorial system.“One also developed a pretty goodEnglish style from writing a sub¬stantial essay every week.” Simp¬son added that he saw a markeddistinction between the productsof English and American schoolsin their ‘fluency on paper.”Because of the amount ofsimple information needed to pro¬duce a. respectable paper everyFriday, Simpson stated he de¬veloped the habit of browsingamong books. He.remarked that’?it has , puzzled f. him - whether or 'not students whose f courses.- are,-based on ^required reading listswould ever have time to read anddiscover books outside t,h e i r icourses. “I would wonder whether-the , fact) that „ we organize ourcourses on.the.basis of syllabi. ..would mean that one wouldn’thave much time for browsing.”He also mentioned the problemof our library system which tends'to keep students, from direct con¬tact with books they have notspecifically requested. ?At Oxford, Simpson said, “You rubbed shoulders with types youhad never seen before and prob¬ably would never see again. Inmy day there was always a butter¬fly population.” Oxford has al¬ways had hierarchy of degrees.“Any person with any kind ofambition and ability took thehonors degree,” said Simpson,adding than an honors degreemight be first, second, third, orfourth class. “If the fourth classhonors degree seemed too difficult,a student could take the passprogram which existed for thebenefit of amiable nitwits. Thewhole of this has been tightenedup in the post-war years.”“A place like Oxford requiresa much higher degree of special- industrial life, and the freedomfrom the snobberies that used toinfect England.”In 1938 Simpson joined the fac¬ulty of the University of St. An¬drews in Scotland. There heserved as a senior lecturer inmodern British history andAmerican history, also holding asupplementary lectureship in con¬stitutional law and histoiy.“St. Andrews is a very charm¬ing gray stone town perched onthe edge of the sea,” said Simp¬son. Although the town was oncethe scene of some of the most im¬portant scenes in Scottish his¬tory, “after the reformation, his¬tory passed it by” Simpson added.Simpson describes the universi-(Photo by Carson)Alan Simpson, Dean of the Collegeization than an American uni¬versity. It seems to me’ thatspecialization starts too early inEngland. English colleges mightlearn something from Americangeneral education.'Judge by different standards'“It would be a more seriousmistake, however,” Simpson add¬ed, “to judge an English universi¬ty education by its degree re-quireme'nts than to judge anAmerican university by the samestandards. One picks up a lot ofhis education informally. Say60-70% of the students come frommoderately cultured homes withbooks-'around the place: Andthei'e is a sophisticated intellect¬ual tradition ’ in England as awhole.”' •;>From 1933 to 1935, Alan Simp¬son was Harmsworth seniorscholar at Merton college, Ox¬ford. He attended Merton on afellowship which required him towork for a PhD, a degree not or¬dinarily obtained by English stu¬dents. M -.-V... - - ■ /•' , . .Appointed a Commonwealth fel¬low in 1935, Simpson came to theUS to study at Harvard for twoyears. The fellowship, awarded toabout twenty-five students fromthe English commonwealth, re¬quired as a condition that the fel¬lows spend three months touringthe US from coast to coast.Tours most statesV' During his three month tour■ Simpson drove about 25,000 milesand was able, to see almost 40 ofthe 48 states. “My impressions?;It was big,” says - Simpson, “isuppose they were the impres¬sions that anyone else gets onhis first visit to this country.This * is a big sprawling federalcountry with, many different cen¬ters ...” -Cbmparing. the US with thecompact diversity of EnglandSimpson said he was “a bit de¬pressed by the standardization ofeverything.” He noted the "splen¬dor of the scenery, vigour of the ty itself as a “charming old lib¬eral arts college very much at themercy at any time of the dozenor so talented personalities onthe faculty. If too many of thesewere thoughtless enough to dieat once, it slumped into medi¬ocrity.- “Thei’e is a greater emphasis ongeneral education at St. Andrewsthan in most English schools,”Simpson continued. A generalstudies exam is given to all stu¬dents after two years of work.St. Andrews had, when Simp¬son was there, the beginnings ofa program to promote Americanstudies in both England and Scot¬land, “One deficiency in the wholeOxford school was in Americanhistory,” Simpson stated.US schools more alert“American universities have aquicker response to the nationalneed and world events,” he con¬tinued. “While at Chicago we’reconstantly sensitive to the needfor change ar.d perhaps some¬times too quick to change, Oxfordis damned resistant to any changeat all.“The Convention Parliament,1688-90” was the title of Simpson’sPhD thesis. He was awarded thedegree in 1939. His thesis super¬visors were the late Sir CharlesFirth and David Ogg, both 17thcentury historians at Oxford.While at Oxford Simpson metand married Miss Mary McQueenMcEIdowney of Chicago Heights,Illinois. Mrs. Simpson had grad¬uated from Knox college, won afellowship to Oxford, and wasstudying for a Bachelor of lit¬erature degree at Oxford. .“Our married life was prettyswiftly dislocated by the war,”says Simpson. He volunteered asa private soldier in 1941. “Afterspending about six months in theranks I was sent to officers’ train¬ing school.”Teaches artillerySimpson taught anti-aircraft ar¬tillery to officer recruits for a. year, after which he was engagedin anti-aircraft defense in Eng¬land for a year as captain. “Abouttwo months after D-Day I wentbehind the front lines throughGermany, and spent a long, drearywinter on the Scheldt.” He workedin a school for rehabilitation andeducation as director of theschool for the four or five monthsbefore he was demobilized.After working another year atSt. Andrews, Simpson came to UC'in 1946 as an assistant professorin social sciences in the College.He taught social sciences, wrotethe introductions for The PeopleShall Judge, and helped to con¬struct the histoi’y of Western civil¬ization course, chairing it for onequarter. “I taught that surveycourse,” Simpson stated, “becauseI liked contact with the under¬graduate students.“I feel that in many ways Chi¬cago fills the aims of a liberaleducation admirably,” Simpsoncontinued. “The requirements inknowledge are met by the bal¬ance we have struck between gen¬eral education and specialization;and as everyone knows we havenot left ‘a little about everything’to random choice. The essentialskills are as well taught here asanywhere: thanks to small classes,selected readings, competent in¬structors, vigorous discussion anda good deal of practice in writing,the best Chicago student is a veryadroit performer.”Simpson served for some timeon the regional committee to se¬lect Woodrow Wilson scholars.From this he was able to compareUC students from representativesof other schools in the area.“At its best, there was in theChicago boy a kind of razor-sharpness that you just didn’tfind in the well-groomed productsof other schools. The Chicago stu¬dent is thoroughly at home in theworld of ideas and quick on hisfeet.“As for our standards of excel¬lence,” Simpson stated, “every¬thing about us—our tradition, ourresources, our metropolitan situ¬ation helps us to maintain them.Our problem is simply to be surethat we make the best use of our.opportunities . . . Are the re¬sources of the departments fullymobilized for the benefit of theundergraduates? Is our metro¬politan situation propeily ex¬ploited or have we been a littleprovincial in our isolation fromthe world around us?”Joins history departmentIn 1948 Simpson joined UC’shistory department. He has sincetaught parts of the general Eng¬lish history sequence and di¬visional in his specialty, seven¬teenth century English history, aswell as other courses.Simpson wrote a description ofhis field for The School Review.“To be somewhat formal,” hestated, “we may say that anyfield of knowledge can be definedin terms of thi’ee aspects: its sub¬ject matter, its method, and itsfindings. The subject matter ofhistory is obvious; it is simplypast human affairs. History is thestudy of men enmeshed in time.“The historian’s method? Thisis perhaps a little more interest¬ing, a little less obvious than hissubject matter. He proceeds by across-examination of testimony. . . The rigorous critical examina-ation of evidence is essentially a19th and 20th century achieve¬ment. This process has replacedlegend and fable by somethingthat we can describe as ‘testedfact,’ and it has enormously ex¬tended the range of human self-knowledge ...—. . Though historians speakof historical science, we do notexpect our inquiries to yield anylaws about human behavior orto furnish any basis for predic¬tion,” Simpson continues. “In thatsense, history will never be ascience. That is not to say thatno knowledge of human nature‘emerges from our inquiries ...“Then although we repeatedlytalk about the definitive study ofthis or that which appears in anew book, we are really deceivingourselves by using that languagebecause we do not really expect finality in any of our studiesIt is sometimes more satisfactionto think of the historian notlffea scientist, but as an artistgives you his personal appr^tion of a situation.”A successful piece of histop^writing must, for Simpson,several things. “First of al’lWmust re-create the past; it .rmfei&‘get inside’ the people it is tryifm;to describe and analyze.“Second, a good work of|hS®tory must be faithful to the^SPdence as good judges view^iffi*dence . . . Third, any good Ti^fltorical work should reflect ailized mind when it passes judg¬ment on its subject ... It seenimdesirable to acknowledge the roitiof judgment and to demand thajfit reflects a discriminating miiilltwith a wide experience of tinheights and depths of human hfhavior, which is capable of Jolivering a civilized opinionLastly, I find it difficult to reoo-?nize any historical work as fiistfclass unless it is well-written.-IBecomes American citixenlSimpson became an America^citizen in 1952.

DeTocqueville remarked that]liberty of opinion was far less^jsecure in a Jacksonian democratcy than in aristocratic EuropeThe average man of those days kfelt himself to be a competent]"judge of almost any question, and!his descendant today—the aver¬age parent, alumnus, or legislator— is liable to think himself a fitjudge of what is taught or studiedin the schools. No such idea would :normally enter the minds of theirEnglish counterparts, and if proposed to them they would in¬stinctively feel that such an at ptude was impertinent and danger |ous,. . .“It is the price you pay for hav¬ing democratized the schools,”Simpson continued. “The Ameri¬can conception of equality makesany institution vulnerable to theclaims of average opinion . .The American university servesthe masses and is dependent uponthe masses to a far greater de¬gree than its European counter¬part. It takes in’a far greater pro¬portion of the people; it offersmore direct services in the people;it competes for the favour of Un¬people and it can carry all tillsto the point of believing that thecustomer must be right . . .”Simpson added, “It is the priceyou pay for having built your his¬tory on the assimilation of im¬migrants. A sense of unity is adatum of English history; buthere one finds Americans actingas if it was a goal to be achieved.Only a people engaged in the per¬petual manufacture of a nation¬ality could have coined shell aconcept as ‘unAmerican’ . . •Freedom is a function of security. . . No one sleeps the worse forknowing that there is a Commu¬nist or two with academic posi¬tions in Oxford and Cambridge.“It Is the price you pay for hav¬ing no centre from which the na¬tional standards are set,” Simpson concluded. . . . “The size, va¬riety, and federal structure ofthis country means that the worstexcesses of provincialism have akind of licensed approval.”CHICAGO MAROON • Feb. 5, 1960
