University of Chicago - Cap and Gown Yearbook (Chicago, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 228 of the 1956 volume:

a HAN 1:. b' afffm; I n Clap stub 05an 1hr Hniupmilg Frequently students and faculty at the Univer- sity of Chicago are asked and ask themselves: what is it that makes our University different from all others? This question may be answered in a number of ways. One answer might contain such general descriptive phrases as: mthe west- ernmost outpost of European culturell, 0r tithe great mid-western Universityll. Or one answer might be more specific, pointing out Our par- ticular programs of study. But every answer would have one thing in common e a basic permeating current of pride in the intellectual life and progress of the University. The University is; alive and ever-changing. We repeatedly see examples of its greatness mani- fested in the progress it is making, affecting every student and faculty member individually, and the community as a whole. Great events occur and have occurred from clay to day on our campus, and even greater ones will follow. Many of these events will become landmarks in the history of the University. This yearbook attempts to highlight those events which set apart this year from all others. The neighborhood re-developmcnt program, the 332,000,000 campaign, the changes in the cur- riculum and extracurriculum, are all included in the succeeding pages. These developments are scrutinized and evaluated. The events included in this volume portray University life as it is today, and what may be expected to follow from them in future years. The University has accomplished things of world- wide importance in the past. In its present posi- tion it is striving to tlmakc the future as great?5 as that past. It is our Firm opinion that it will do so. Mary Joan Spicgcl MARY JOAN SPIEGEL, Editor-in-Chief.

It was decided to campaign for 332,779,000 wthe largest sum ever attempted by a University, a sum, to be raised in three years, almost equal to the total Rockefeller gifts over a period of 20 years. 1956 became the year of the big gamblee the year of decision. The University gambled and won. It was a capital funds drive, and the response was more than generous. By March over half the three- year quota was met, and more than that amount was raised for purposes outside the campaign. There was even talk around campus that in three years the campaign could underwrite the costs of the University of Chicago for a generation, if not the rest of the century. .7776 Year of Deczkzbn T106 Neighborhood T511665 014 d New Look Prime priority of the University? needs was a rebuilt neighborhood. A rose cannot bloom in an onion patch, and a great University cannot prosper in a slum, which is what parts of Hyde Park were becoming. The hrst project was urban renewal. The University has allotted $4,200,000 for neighborhood planning. Three years of plan- ning, and public co-operation were required 10 get the forty-seven blighted acres in Hyde Park ready for slum clearance. Obsolcscent commer- cial structures and buildings unlit for decent habi- tation will be replaced. Included in tentative plans are suggestions for single-family homes, two- story row-houses, four-story maisonette apart- ments, twelve-story elevator apartments, and a shopping center. Provision is made for a major imth-south thoroughfare, closing certain straws, offstrcct parking, and park and recreation areas. Regtoration of these forty-scwn acres to resi- dential and commercial value will mean much to the University: it will provide opportuntics for housing, and shopping facilities; and it will serve as an example of what can bf: done. Additional touches were added. On March 12, Chancellor Kimpton and Mayor Richard J. Daley announCCd that title to UN: Midway was given to thc Univcrsity and streets transversing it were to be closed.

For Chancellor Kimptou, the year of decision was a busy one. It meant conferences and solicit tations at 8 S. Dearborn, details and decisions at 5801 Ellis. Convocations at Rockefeller Chapel, and speeches to social scientists, addresses to Alumni in New York and San Francisco, and all points in between. The black Plymouth Emory cabs came. Constantly on campus to ferry the Chancellor to another ofhcc, another confcrEnce. or another air-Hight. It was an undertaking that combined the tal- ents ofadministrator, advertiser, and policy-makcr. Stiil there was not time to do everything, and much of the job had to be shunted elsewhere. A new vice-president in a new position stepped up to shoulder some of the responsibility. The new oHicial was Walter Bartky, former Dean of the Physical Sciences, and the new post signified the major role of the University's scienn tiiic 11ndertakings---Vice-President for Spacial Scientihc ProjectS.

Niamey was not the only contribution the trus- tees made. Not content to let things take their natural course, they pitched in and, led by Ed- ward Ryerson, worked on every stage of the drive.

From How- ard Mort, in his campus OFFLCC, and Donald Kerst- ing, downtown, to the pavement-pounding fund- raisers all over the nation, the vanguard of the alumni went to work to raise this sum from their fellows. Alumni were analyzed, bombarded with mail, and solicited until at last they subscribed the $5.00, $10.00. at $1,000.00 expected of them. Then the Story went out in Editor Felicia An- thenellijs award winning I'nim'sitq' qf Chicago iMag- aqim. Through the pages; of the magazine, the theme has barn the campaign.

College Undergraduate education at the University of Chicago should accomplish two ends. The Un- dergraduate Announcements state, cgIt should give all students a common, critical understand- ing of the major helds of human knowledge and their interrelationsll. It should also, cldevelop intellectual powers and provide. special knowledge appropriate to the interests and plans of each student? This double aim combines the theories of general and specialized education. Our form of general education was established by Robert Hutchins when he initiated his llNew Flaw, in 1942. It now consists of three year se- quences in Humanities, Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences respectively; single COurses in Mathematics: English, and a foreign language; and two integration courses: Organizations, Methods, and Principles of Knowledge, and His- tory of Western Civilization. Not all students take all these courses, however. Those taken are are determined by placement tests, administered to all entering students, and by individual degree requlrements. Specialized undergraduate education, in exist- ence for two years now, was introduced by the present administration under Chancellor Kimp- ton. It combines facilities of the College and di- visions. If a student specializes in Social Scien- vs The Academic Life A student and his advisor. A lecture given in thc collega preParing for class discussion. A lab section. . taking comps. The College Today ces, Humanities Biological Sciences, or Physical Sciences, the bacheloris degree is awarded by the division. If the field is the School of Business, the Law School, or the Graduate Library School, the degree is awarded by the College. In either case Of specialization the student fulhlls his require- ments through a combination of the college gen- eral courses and the divisional courses. The num- ber of general education courses varies according to the division. For instance, in the science di- visions, students have fewer general courses be- cause these helds require a larger technical back- ground. In both cases divisional courses taken can generally be applied to the divisional Mastefs requirements. If the student does not want to specialize, he can enter the tutorial program and continue his general education with independent research under the guidance of a faculty member. This tutorial program results in a BA. in the college. This combination of general and specialized education at Chicago is causing changes in the previously established forms of eoilege organiza- tion. One serious probiem being considered this year is the practicability of the testing and grad- ing system. Formerly students were involved only in coliege courses and therefore subjected to Only one time of stress and strain. This was due to the comprehensive examinations admin- istered at the end of the year, constituting the sole grade for the course. In the divisions, how- ever, tests with grades that are recorded come at John C. Netherton, Dean ofstudents 0f the College A college discussion section CWM'CMIMM the. end of each quarter. Now with students tak- ing courses in both college and divisions simul- taneously, these two systems Ctjnflict for the stu- dentas attention. The tendency is to neglect the eomp-testcd course because of the immediate urgency of the. quarterly test with its permanent grade. Also coming into consideration is the fact that the comp system seems to put a tremendous emo- tional strain on the student. Comp nerves arenat necessary. The problem is to fmd a way to make the student realize that he must distribute his work over the year rather than allow all to wait until May. Some learn from experience in their first year, It is for IhOSe who do not seem to learn that the administration is concerned. 36 A trial step in answer to these problems was taken last spring when the task of examination was removed from the sole control of the Exam- inerls thce and given to the departments. They may now test how and when they please. There is, working this year, a committee considering further changes in the comp setup. One sugges- tion was that year-long courses be divided into three separate quarterly courses having inde- pendent tests at the end of each quarter. A less radical plan, suggested by Joseph Schwab, Wil- liam Rainey Harper professor of Natural Scien- ces, at an Undergraduate Assembly, is to have three separate tests which will have recorded grades but which will leave the courses covering one year periods. These tests would he cumula- tive: the htst covering in detail the work of the first quarter; the second, covering in detail sec- ond quarter and more generally first; the third and last covering all quarters generally and the last specifically.

Bringing the Humanities Division up to a pub- lic relations and economic level with the other departments has been the duty of its Dean, Nap- ier Wilt. The past years research on Dr. Samuel John- son, continuance of the famed Oriental Institute areheologieal expeditions and scrutiny of the Dead Sea Scrolls by faculty members have added to its glory. Funds from the Development Drive and Ford Foundation will add to its economic stability.

The weekend was more than the celebration of a building or a faculty, it was the anniversary of an ideaethe idea of integrated research in behav- ioral sciences. H25 years ago the behavioral sciences were in the pioneering stage. They are no longer. We are marking the social sciences5 coming of age in the last 25 years? one professdr commented. As part of a university making a concerted in- quiry into the nature of the world and man, the Division seeks to increase the knowledge of man in contact with ideas, institutions, and Other men. The conferences showed off the best of Chi- cagds social scientists and brought to the Uni- versity such outstanding scholars as Arnold T0yn- bee, Clyde Kluckhohn, Walter Lippman, Harold Lasswell, and Andre Siegfried. But the remarks that received widest circulation were made by a philosopher who has had little time for philosoph- icizing: Chancellor of the University, Lawrence A. Kimpton. He had some harsh words for certain social scientists: ttToo many individuals enter research with a ready-made conclusion, and find facts to fit that conclusion. Theory without fact is empty and empirical research without theory, blind? he warned, calling for a mature outlook on social science.

Law 5510001 or 63' Present Law School Buildin With the facilities and counsel of the nearby American Bar Center, the University of Chicago Law School looked forward to a brighter and more bountiful future. $3,500,000 of the Devel- opment drive funds would be used for expansion of its teaching, research and library space. It thus received a rude awakening when its projects and faculty were scrutinized in a Senate Committee investigation. The subject under investigation was the SchooPs CtJury Project'g, an ambitious attempt to fmd tcways of making the Uuryj system more effective? Financed with $1,400,000 in Ford Foundation funds, it sent researchers scurrying across the country in search of information. 1,400 former jurors were inter- viewed, judges questioned, and the 112,000 Peoria population was polled to ascertain their opinions about jury procedures. Simulated jury trials were held and the deliberations of six juries in a Wichita Federal District Court were tape- recorded. This final point brought the wrath of the Internal Security Sub-Committee, and its inves- tigation erupted in front-pages across the nation. Dean Edward H. Levi and Professor Harry Kal- vin, Jr. were questioned in such a line as to make the unadvised recording appear part of a red plot to undermine American justice. Legislation to ban further jury-tapping was threatened, de- spite projeet-praise from many distinguished law- yers and judges, including the tacit approval of the Solicitor General and US. Supreme Court justices. The findings of the jury Project have not yet been revealed. Regardless of their recommenda- tions, the Law School tackled a problem at its roots and opened the way for a nation-wide great debate on oneof the keystones of Anglo-Saxon law. Royal S.

Harper became President at 35, Hutchins at 30. At 34, crew-eut Dean Brauer is the youngeSt theological school- head in America. He brings to his job a fresh outlook on American Protestantism, for Brauer is one theologian who is remarkably unimpressed with Americais current religious revival. nThe theological profession is becoming so respectable that it is rapidly becoming u11eumfortatble,H he said in his innaugural address. A few days later, Brauer announced a 16-point program to reno- vate and rejuvenate Protestant thought. F.T.S:s educational requirements received a going-over from the new Dean. He proposed extension of the present thrcc-year D.B. program to include a fourth year, devoted to iiinterningi3 in a parish; recommended creation of joint-pro- fessorships, tying theological study to history, philosophy and the social sciences; urged organ- ization of a research-center to develop a new theory of missions. Chicagois history shows that F.T.S. is the per- fect place for Dean Braueris innovations. In a true ecumenical spirit, Lutheran Brauer presides over four separate, yet integrated institutions: the Baptist Theological Unionis Divinity School, the Congregational Chicago Theological Seminary; the Disciples of Christ Divinity House and the Unitarian Meadville Theological School. With this foundation and fine federated faculty, Chi- cago now holds an unprecidented position to speak to and for American Protestantism. 41 The Graduate Library School is the smalles of all the Divisions and Professional schools Of the University, enrolling only a few more than fifty students. Yet it has as its facilities one of the six largest University Libraries in the United States with access to the Grant Collection of English Bibles tsaicl to be the best in the eountryl; the Epstein Collection of prints; the Oriental Col- leetion of Near Eastern Languages, history and archeology; the Harriet Moore modem poetry collection and the William E.

The library has maintained this record in re- cent years with a scant 2 percent of the Univer- sity budget spent on books, periodicals, and bind- ings----contrasted with U.C.L.A.Js 13 percent and the nearly 6 percent Princeton and Yale both spend. The Development campaign should give the library not less than 110,000 dollars annually for the next ten years -money which will give the Graduate Library School an even greater laboratory for its students in order that the library may maintain and improve its position as a foremost storehouse of knowledge.

It goes quietly about its job of training competent social workers. Edith Abbot, now Professor and Dean Emeritus, with Sophonisha Breakinridge organized the School in 1920, for the purpose of making sociai service work a profession. Edith Abbot has lived to see itherii School become one of the largest professional Schools in the world. I The SchooPs leadership in education in social work has long been recognized. Its merit is proved by the fact that 20 of its alumni are deans of other institutions and directors of social serv- ice agencies. It provides professional education for work with public and with private social agencies and advanced work leading to the Ph.D degree as preparation for teaching and re- search; and carries on research related to the Helen Wright, Dean of Social Ser- vice Administration. practice of social work. In 1953 the Schoolls newest venture, the Social Work Research Cen- ter, was established with the help of a grant from the Field Feundation. This Center is an integral part of the School. Although it has a staff de- voting full time to its research program, they work in close co-operation with the rest of the faculty, and the Center offers special training oppor- tunities t0 doctoral students. In January the School lost one of its most noted and best faculty members when Professor Frank Flynn died suddenly. Flynn, formerly a Profes- sor at Notre Dame, was one Of the nationis leading authorities on juvenile deliquency. His death creates a void in the School comparable to that of the Physics Department suffered last year losing Enrico Fermi. Dean Donahue 0f the University College. Leonard S.

It was un- heard of: offering college courses for adults. Like most ofHarperis ideas, it was picked up by other institutions and today no self-rcspecting University is without an extension school. In 1955, the University College also did an unheard of thing: it extended its extension school. Adult courses are now offered in Hyde Park and in suburban Skokie. The move, experimental, is an outgrowth of the Great Books Course which took Aquinas and Aristotle out of the class and into the living-room. Now more and more de- tailed subjects are being brought to the students in what may become one of the major trends in American Education. Home Etudy Department A part of University College, the Home Study Department is dedicated to serving educational needs of mature adults through correspondence study. It offers them Opportunities for continu- ing systematic learning at the college level throughout their lives. This aim has guided Home Study since 1892, now under Director Leonard Stein. Harper felt that a university had the responsibility to provide Opportunities for learing to at! interestedm-e both off campus and on.

Student Actz'mz'es The Student Government managed, in a rather negative fashion, to accomplish the one thing that through all positive efforts they have been unable to do in the eight years that the SG has been on campus: get the interest of the student body. This was accomplished in the widely publicized and CriticizedJ 50 called, Etillegala, Monday night meeting, held on Januray 23rd. SRP, called the meeting on a Monday night, because of the Mar- tha Schlamme concert being given by them on the Tuesday night tregularly the night of the meetingJ of that week. Having called the meeting they proceeded, upon seeing that the ISL minor- ity was not coming, to pass many bills; and make changes in the constitution. ISL, out of its 24 members, managed to get only one to the meeting for the entire time. Two or three others straggled in and out during the three and a half hour meeting. They said that their members could not be present on account of club meetings, and other engagements of long standing which could not be broken. The results of this meeting fmdml Comm mem Janice Porter, President of Stu- dent Government. were: the meeting was considered to have no status, and all motions were reconsidered. David Farquar resigned from the chairmanship of SG with the words, i: . . . Pm just not a politic- ian . . 35. Most important the campus was paying attention to the Government. Even though it was with feelings of disgust, this interest Opened the possibility that with some hard work and good ideas, perhaps the SG could become what it is supposed to be: a voice with some power from the students. This would, of course! entail the two political parties working together. This they have realized since that meet- ing. Both now feel the necessity of working with the other party to accomplish the goals that they set in their platforms. This year was the first year since 1953 that SRP has had the majority in the Government. Only now are they really settling down into the routine of the job. They had two strikes against them when they began: inexperience and faction- alism within the party itself. 4-? New students meet SG candidates dur- ing campaign. SRP member's rcljoicc after victory.

Over ten people resigned during the course of the year including many committee chairmen and David Farquar, the former president . All com- plained of the lack of student interest making ach eomplishment of any goals almost impossible. As for changes within the Government, the main one was about the student handbook. It goes each summer to entering students and has for the past several years been in the hands of the Government. In April it was decided to give it back to the Administration. The reasoning be- hind the return of the handbook to the Adminis- tration, was primarily that the Government could not get enough advertising to support it. Disputes rocked the government both on the floor and on campus: the ttMonday night meet- ingtl the row over the summer presidency, over the Student Faculty Relations Court; the petition to abolish SG in favor of another organizational structure; the constant lights Over procedure. The disputes came and went, accomplishing really very little. There were pros and cons for all sides of each argument, splitting the campus into many segments of conflicting ideas about the organization. There were all shades and gradations of thought-- from complete disre- gard to fanatic disappmval or as the position might be, appmval. Utter agreement to one question was found through all strata thoughe that something should be done about SG. For the most part no one thought too clearly about what, but everyone agreed that it should be something.

Social Ad visory Council, One of the most recent developments on campus is the newly formed Social Activ- ities Council. mThere is hnally a meeting ground for the living groups and for stu- dents from the whole campus, which will aid communications? Charles Mittman, counil chairman commented. The council, composed of representa- tives from the living groups, and mem- bers from the campus at large, was formed last March following the dissolution of Student Union, a group originally formed to promote social, recreational and cul- tural activities on campus. Duplication, and even competition in social events, can be eliminated by coor- dination under SAC, its Chairman hopes. hlf we see a void in the calendar, we will attempt to EU it by contacting various groups and asking them to have social aiiairsfa Mittman commented. This would be in ad- dition to assisting in gaining proper spacing of fraternity Open houses and other regular events. Wash Prom will be held under the direct spon- sorship 0f SAC, since Student Union had previ- oush,r sponsored the dance. ccWash Prom was put on last year by a handful of people, and thatis no way to put on a. dance,H Mittman noted. To make the board directly responsible to the campus, the SAC constitution provides that, by petition of 20 percent of the students, the constitu- tion goes to an all-eampus referendum. By peti- tion of 10 per cent of the students, a new board may be elected before its term expires in March. These provisions, constitute a major change from the Student Union constitution, which provided for self-regulation and only in direct campus re- sponsibility. In the handbill that has been distributed, SAC noted, cW'lle would like to emphasize that SAC is not an all encompassing organization. Its pur- pose is to regulate and encourage, not exeeute, social functions? In line with its puurpose of regulation, the Counciljs main problem was that of conflicts in the calendar. In an attempt to solve this, SAC asked that the SG amend Student Code to conform with the regulationon clasing of dates adopted by the council. The regulation states in part: it . . . a student organiza- tion may request that the date for an all campus social affair be closed to scheduling for other all campus affairs. The Social Activities COuncil . . . shall, when considering application from an- other organization for the same date or week end weigh the nature of the two events and if the second appears to conflict with the first in type, appeal, or potential patronage, refuse the schedul- ing of the second event. The ruling of the Social Activities Council shall be binding on all student organizations and any infraction referred to . . .53 CORSO.

Some of these problems were resolved, others were not.

As the 1956 deadline approaches, a perplexed staff is feverishly trying to Find a solution to the ever-present problems of time and finances. Like all student organizations, Cap and Sammy: growing pains seem bigger than its growth. Finances con- tinued to be a constant headache this year. While certainly there is still room for improve- ment as far as writing is concerned, much has been accomplished in this area. The style of writing is more consistent throughout, and a more accurate account of University life is also evident. Although changes in photographic personnel have been frequent this year, a consistently higher quality photography on the whole, is evi- dent throughout the book. The 1956 Cap and Com has had personnel prob- lems, style problems, money problems, quality problems, space problems, and public relations problems. But in spite of this milieu of problems, we feel that we have succeeded in portraying University life as it is today, and what may be expected in the future. $3. +1 Part of the Cap and Gown staff and friends who prised for picture: Row 7: Ann Murphy, Kan Nordin, W'ailaee Reed, Pete Langroek.

Business Manager Mekotoff consults with CO-Editor Burbaeh while Co-Editor Pinney looks on. Chicago Maroon Marmara staflr members, striving to elect an edi- tor, east 34 ballots in May of 1955. The editor must receive a two-thirds vote; two candidates were hrmly assured of more than one-third. Unable to resolve their elections for one or the other candidate, the staffers settled upon the device of a eo-editorship. Two seemed a magic number for the Maroon. When Maroon Editor-eleet Al Janger was given an Alumni-Deans medal in 1954 he was intro- duced as a leader of the Daiiy Maroon. But the paper remained a weekly until Jangerts dual sue- eessorship of 1955-56 brought the news out twice a week. The papers are smaller, but total about 4 pages a week more than the year before. Twice-weekly publication has led to problems. By January the Maroon was being belabored by its third managing editor of the year. Tuesday papers, said a number of students, were c too ad-heavyjj. The CO-editors complained of hav- ing too few ads to pay for their papers. Staffreorganization followed this drastic change in the Maroon way of life. :tIf a managing editor used to spend 40 hours a week on the Maroon, now he must spend 80. No one can do that,75 complained Editor Burbaeh. ttNow different editors split the week; but weave lost so many that we ail must do everything?

As the Chicago Review began its tenth year of publication, its editors reaHirmed this statement from the foreword 0f the magazines first issue as the basis of their present policy. From its original 44 page effort in the fall of 1946 through various changes such as appearance in newspaper form, the Review has grown to be, in its present size and format, a recognized ttlittleai magazine with world-wide circulation and a quarterly distribution of 10,000 copies. ThroughOut this period the Rwiew has pub- lished the current work of well-known writers such as Conrad Aiken, e.e. Cummings, Mark Van Doren, Russell Kirk and Elder Olson, along with the writings of talented newcomers. It is this policy, the present editors have said, which Sthats. kept the Chicago Review alive and gained it a position of note in a held where scores of magazines have failed and are failing each year. They pointed out that since acquiring a more professional appearance and a larger Cir- culation, the Review has been listed in major periodical guides, writefs market, and surveys of iilittle magazines.

The Falz'ml 0f flag Am The Seebnd Annual Festival of the Arts under the committee headed by John P. Netherton and Penelope Rich was held on campus the last weekend in April. The highlights of the Festival included the Student Art Exhibit in Ida Noyes. This exhibit consisted of watercolors, oils, prints, sculpture, and drawings from students in the University. It was begun by a reception for the wives of the trustees at which the judging 0f the art was held.

T196 U m'vem'ly Theatre University Theatre, one of the largest extra- curricular dramatic groups in the nation, plan- ned a full season of play production. UT, which has been an active campus force since 1895, has always operated under the policy of producing Only the best of classic, modern and original drama. Membership is open to all and each production is east by open tryouts. There are many openings for all phases of theatre work, as there is a need for technicians, artists, dancers, musicians, directors, and so forth, in addition to many actors. The theatre is under the direction of Marvin Phillips. During the fall, the theatreis hrst production was two one-act plays for touring, Box and Cox by John M. Norton, and Famed Oak by Noel Coward. The plays were directed by William Zavis, with cast of students including: in ccBox and Coxii, Carol Homing, John Meyer, and Barry Sherman; and in gFumed Oakb, Hall Taylor, Natalie Crohn, Pauia Sansome, and Laurie Rich- ardson. The plays were short: lively comedies with small casts and few props. Instead of de- tailed, realistic scenery the sets were originated 2'2 Actors in University Theatre on stage during performance.

The program, the HSacred Note , has as its basic musical organization the choir. Each program centered on a particular religious idea, with choral music characteristic of each of the major faiths. 32 Glee C 1W The main problem in the Glee Club this year was attendance. The First rehearsal brought out about 80 men and women. But by the last re- hearsal 0f the hrst quarter Only 15 or 20 of that 80 were present. At this point, the director, Denis Cowan, decided that something was defl- nitely wrong. So the Glee Club was broken up and since the interest of the boys was more avid, a male glee club group was formed. It has been thought that if the interest of the girls is found by next fall, then a girlsl glee club will also appear. In the meantime several Other groups have been formedethe Madrigal Group and the Apollo Club.

Comment C 0 m m e n l , the inter-dormitory paper, was brought to this year, succeeding the now defunct Coffege House News. It appeared for the first time this autumn under the editorship of Lou Lipsitz. With offices on the 2nd floor of Burton Judson, the new paper appeared to have a shifting and varied assortment ofwriters during the year, some good and some not so good. The articles in the papers, though not so controversial in subject matter, were so in content. Although contro- versial, and sometimes illegible, Comment was widely read in the dormitories and created inter- est whether with approval or not. Certainly with more experience, more discrimination in the choosing of articles, the paper could be of interest to many more in a positive way. Wednesday evenings in Goodspeed hall at 8.

Rockekller Chapel :r. . the University in its ideal is clomi- nated by the spirit of religion, all its de- partments are inspired by religious feel- ing, and all its work is directed to the highest ends?3 ----j0lm D. Rockefeffer While the thirtieth anniversary of its inception passed Without special Observances, Rockefeller Memorial Chapel continues to provide, as its founder intended, the focus of religious life for the University. Activities of the Chapel are directed by Dean John B. Thompson; music for its services is pro- vided by the Chapel choir, directed by Richard E. Vikstrom, and by Heinrich Fleischer, chapel organist, and jamcs R. Lawson, chapel carillon- neur. The weekly University religious services brought to the quadrangles eight prominent theologians from Outside the University, includ- ing two visiting professors, Dr. Friedrich Heiler 0f the University of Marburg, Germany, and Dr. Hendrik Kraemer 0f the University of Leiden, Holland. The Chapel Choir, with members of the Chi- cago Symphony, observed the great festivals of the Christian year with performances of two Baroque oratorios: during the Christmas in- terim, HandePs nMessiahfj and on Palm Sun- day, ttThe Passion Of Our Lord according to St. John? by J.

Chapel Home The odd odor which has each year more notic- ably permeated Chapel house arises not so much from its sanctity as from the termites which are assiduously consuming its lower parts. Located t0 the north of Rockefeller Memorial Chapel 0n Woodlawn Avenue, Chapel house antedates the University. It is directed by Dean Thompson, and is operated by the University to provide a center for coordinating religious groups. Three of the Protestant groups, Porter Foundation, the Methodists, and the Lutherans, have their ofhces in it, while the others occasionally use its facili- ties, which include a library and kitchen, and hold their orientation open house there. Chapel house was without a resident this year, and sponsored few activities. However, the Pro- testant chaplains planned the Easter sunrise service held on the Chapel lawn, and Dean Thompson held an after-Sunday-dinner religious seminar at Burton-Judson.

Often in the past, certain denominational groups have been composed en- tirely of younger or older students, so that others could find in them little to satisfy their own spiritual needs. Charles W Gilkey Feundation: Baptist. Along with the Baptist Student Fellowship, now princi- pally composed of students in the College, a new Baptist Graduate Student Center at 4901 Ellis Avenue has been established to provide a more meaningful program for graduate students. Both groups hold Sunday suppers and discussions. Porter Foundation: Congregational-Christian, Evangelical and Reformed, Presbyterian. Porter is the most subdivided of the Protestant religious groups, maintaining five programs: for College students, for graduate students, for Presbyterian theologs, and two couples clubs. Ajoint activity was a discussion by national leaders in the con- tr0versy over merger of the Congregational and E 8.: R churches. W'ranglers Club: Disciples of Christ.

Methodist Student Union: Although they are the largest Protestant denomination 0n the quad- rangles, the Methodists had here in recent years only a part-time chaplain. This year the Rev. Frederick S. Carney was appointed as full-time pastor, and the program was otherwise expanded. These larger resources have met with greatly increased response among Methodist students. quI: Rev.

Canterbury Club Canterbury Club is the student branch of the work of the Protestant Episcopal church at UC. All the activities Of the church are directed by the Episcopal Church Council made up of nine Episcopalian members of the faculty. Its in- formal suppers held on Sunday evenings and most of its other non-liturgical activities take place at Brent House, located at 5540 Woodlawn Avenue. Brent House is also one of the residences for students of foreign countrieswho are studying the- Anglican theology.

Masses and the Rosary are said every daye and a retreat is held each quarter at Childerley, the cgeoumry placeee northwest of Chicago. The intellectual program of Calvert Club in- cludes a lecture-discussion each Sunday when some other activity is not in progress led by a visiting speaker or a student panel and followed by supper, weekly classes on liturgy and theology, and conferences paralleling the College curricu- lum to help students in the College relate their studies to their Catholic faith The ExeCuLivc Board of the Calvert Cfub. Hillel The Binai B,rith Hillel Foundation is the center for jcwish religious and cultural activities at UC. With students of its faith forming the largest single religious group on the quadrangles, it provides a diversified choice of activities of interest to its own members and the entire campus. The chief feature of its program is the Friday evening fireside, at which a speaker, usually from the University faculty, discusses a topic of religi- ous or cultural interest or relating to public affairs. At one evening, Rabbi Maurice B. Pekarsky, its director, who returned to UC this year, discussed his experiences at the Hebrew University in jerusalem. A Sabbath service pre- cedes the fireside. Hillel provides for study and expression of Jewish culture through its library and its choir, dance group, Hebrew and Yiddish language classes, and seminars on particular problems of Judiasm. Of a mostly social nature was the Purim carnival, with participating groups from all over campus. Hillel House, focal point ofIIewish religious activities.

Allolm'cy Combat Remarkably little remains of the great teams from Chicago. The teams are gone; the student enthusiasm is gone. What remains are the coaches. They provide students that are inter- ested with a good sports program. Nelson Metcalf, Director of Athletics since 1933 when Stagg retired, will retire this Year.

In 1955 the team won 5 and lost 3 meets. With Herb Taylor, Bob Herndcnj and Bernie Del Giorno gone Johnnie Bowman was unable to carry the team on to a winning season. Captain Bowman was the individual scoring star regis- tering over half of the teanfs points in every meet. Eiiehi Fukishima had a Em: season, often participating in 6 0r 7 out Of 7 events per meet. This year saw the inclusion of the free ealis- thenics event tcnmmonly called cTree exW in the gymnastic schedule. Johnnie Bowman went on after the regular season to score a 9th place in the horizontal bar event in the NCAA gymnastic meet at Chapel Hill, Ncrth Carolina.

Of these ten games, they won four and lost six matches. The squad topped Elmhurst College by a score of 9-0, Navy Pier2 9-0, Illinois Institute of Tech- nology, 9-0, and the University Of Illinois 7-2. It lost to De Pauw University 0-9, Marquette University 3-6; Bronkey University at Peoria 1-8, Beloit College 4-5, Western Michigan Col- lege 0-9, University of Notre Dame 0-9. The squad ended its seven-wcck season by playing in the Chicago Intercollegiate Championship com- petitions. The Maroon team won with twenty- four team points. This past fall, the team started its season by playing games against Navy Pier and Elmhurst. These games, though they did not count on the teanfs regular record, showed the netmen to advantage by winning both matches. Football Football returned to the Midway this year after an absence of eight years. A class with an enrollment close to forty held a training session on North F ield from October 7 to November 12. As there has not been any serious participation in football on the campus for eight years, the greatest problems which faced Coach Anderson were the poor physical condition of the players and their lack of experience. The training pro- gram emphasized the fundamentals of the game and the development of a team. The season ended on an optimistic note as the team shewed favorably in inter-squad scrim- mage and in an informal game with North Park College. It will take a few years longer; however, until Chicago can send a team on to Stagg Field for a regular intercollegiate game. But instead of Big Ten competition; opponents would consist of smaller Midwest schools such as Beloit and Carleton. Chancellor Kimpton has gone as far as suggesting a tiMidwest Ivy Leagueji which would include Northwestern who has had several miserable HBig Teni, football seasons in the last few years. In May, 1955, a faculty committee, urged by a large number of the students, voted to re-install intercollegiate football on a cinon-conferenee, ifree-lance3 basis? Although this motion was defeated by the Faculty Senate in January, a feeling exists 0n campus that within a few years intercollegiate competition will return. As for next fall, the athletic department has tentative plans for the continuation of the football classes.

The varsity squad played three games at home against George Williams, Wilson Junior College, and Chicago Teachers College, and attended two playdays at DeKalb and at Navy Pier. Although the team lost all but two games lthose against Wheaten and Wilson Junior Collegel, the scores were fairly close and the team played very well. Among those participating were janiee Aldrin, Carol Chekytis, Sandy Ford, Lee Parsons, Phyllis Gestrin, Marlene Nelson, Barbara Steeh, and Mary Egan, captain. Manager was Debbie M ines. 110 Annual volleyball play day' at Navy Pier, Chicago par- ticipating. Tmmk There were both interdorm matches and var- sity tennis on the tennis schedule this year. The interdorm play was conducted in a. fall tourna- ment which was not too successful on account of bad weather. As always Green turned out the most players, but they did not win the tourna- ment; for the Kelly only had three members par- ticipating, they won all their matches and took the most points. Foster came in last in the tourn-u ament. As yet the spring varsity has not pro-- gressed too far but the team has been chosen and invitations to various schools have been sent out and received. The team is composed of Betsy Kirtley, Barbara Stech, Mary Ann Platt, Debn bie Mines, and Frances Moore. 8093211th The bowling team is very loosely set up as far as team organization is concerned. Sponsor, Miss Nell Eastbourne, and this yearas manager, Kay Potter7 are required to see that if a tourna- ment is forthcoming girls are Chosen to play. Ordinarily approximately ten girls who score the highest averages out of two rounds are chosen. This year the ccteamat has participated in four intercollegiate telegraphic meets. For these meets ten girls were neededithe most steadily qualifying girls on the Chicago team were Mary Ann Flatt and Manager Kay Potter, who al- most always came out With an average of 160. The team, among approximately thirty-eight other schools in the meets, never did too well, fmishing usuallyr last or next to last. Badmzmm The highlight of the badminton season was a round-robin tournament among the dorms in the C-group. Points were scored in two ways - first, according to the number of girls who turned out from each dorm and secondly, on the basis of the number of matches won by each person play- ing. Under this set-up the dorms were ratcd-- Green, 10, Foster, 5, and Kelly 3. On an indie Vidual match basis Barbara Steeh tFoster Housd placed first and Marilyn Quarantillo of Green came in second.

C Amos Alonzo Stagg marches down ramp with his fraternity, Psi Upsilon, into Hut- chinson Court. Betas Len Giblin and I. Andrew Moore rejoice at I-F Sing after receiving quality cup. Late spring of last year marked the high point of traditional fraternity affairs: the 45th Inter- Fraternity Sing. the contest between fraternities on campus for the two award3+the quantity and quality cups. The cups are awarded on the basis of the number of men from each fraternity sing- ing and for the quality of that singing, respec- tively. The Sing, held last year on lune 4th in Hutchinson Court, though it seemed to be off to a showery start, was, as always, well done. The fraternity that went away with the quantity cup was Phi Gamma Delta, arriving 98 strong, but quantity is not, in all eyes, the just mark of quality, and the cup went to Beta Theta Pi. Also awarded at the Sing are the scholarship trophy tthis year to Alpha Delta. PhD for the highest grade average during the year and the Intramural Athletic Cup given to Psi Upsilom for points amassed in various sports throughout the year. Many alumni, back for Alumni W'eek, are, after the Sing, invited to the various parties on campus.

The Council acts primarily as a co-ordinating and deliberating body in discussing projects and problems which concern all the fra- ternities, and enforce; a code of ethics and proper conduct for these organizations. The Council u... w on also acts as liaison between the individual fra- ternities and other campus organizations and the administration of the University. The fraternities on campus participate in ac- tivities ranging from aiding the Universitfs can- cer fund to helping University Theatre in giving Christmas parties for underprivileged children at the University Settlement house. The big activities of the year are the I-F ball, Thanksgiv- ing eve, and the I-F Sing in June. In order to strengthen the bonds of friendship among fra- ternities, the Interfratcrnity Council sponsors and regulates various fraternity open houses, private parties, joint parties, exchange dinners and an annual dinner with the Chancellor of the Uni- versity. leermhlej The l-FC also sponsors various competitive events throughout the year in order to stimulate a friendly rivalry among the fraternities and prod mote association among the members of the dif- ferent houses. These events range from intra- mural sports to general scholarship. The I-FC does not believe that it exists solely for service to its fraternity member; it feels it has, like any responsible organization, an obligation to the University Community. In the recent past it has thrown physical and financial support behind worthy nonfraternity functions. India vidual houses, too, have sponsored aHairs for various charities. And during the past few years, foreign students have been given free room and board by the Council through the fraternities. The council plans yearly rushing activitiesi one week in late October for divisional students and two weeks in the winter quarter for under- graduates. Any man who will be 17 before the end of the winter quarter is eligible. This year the fraternities have tried and accomplished their goal of increasing their numbers from 250 to approximatrly 300 men.

Inlerclub Council Interelub Council began its 1955-56 program with the annual Fall rush tea, in its function as the eo-ordinating body for the ftve woments clubs on campus. This tea officially opened one of the most successful Fall rush periods in many years. This is borne out by the fact that seventyvftive girls pledged the Eve clubs. With Brina Jaffee as president, the Council organized many successful Interclub affairs, including the Preferential Din- ner DanceJ which marked the end of the Fall rush? and the Interclut; Ball, held in January. 14-0 The Council also joined with other organizations in sponsoring and assisting at such events as the Wassail Party tformcrly annually sponsored by the Student Uniont and the Goldiggers, Ball. One thing the council felt very proud of: Jeanine Johnson who presided over the Wash Prom as Miss University of Chicago, was the Cauneilas candidate in the contest. Brina jaf'fee said that the year had been an especially good one for Interclub Council through the unusually har- monious relationships among the clubs. Interdub Ball The annual Interclub Ball, jointly sponsored by the hve womenh Clubs tDelta Sigma, Esoteric, Mortarboard, Quadranglers, and SigmaO was held on the let ofjanuary in the Skyroom 0f the Hotel Sherry. Each club sponsored a candidate for the title of Interelub King, and these candi- dates tDelta Sigma: Edward Zolpe; Esoteric: Robert Dalton; Mortarboard: Hal Levy; Quad- ranglers: Louis Kalavity; Sigma: Carl FrankeD; were judged by Mrs. Kimpton, Mrs. Newman and Mr. Sayvetz at a pre-Ball tea. The high point of the evening came at twelve cfcloek when Mrs. Strozier crowned the winning candidate, Edward Zolpe. More than 150 couples danced to the music of Al Rood and the members of his band. The club members dispersed after the dance to the club parties held in the individual fraternity houses. Mrs. Strozier crowns Delta SigmaTs candidate, Ecl Zelpc, as King of Interclub Ball.

Burton -fud50n More than four hundred men are aggregated in the eight houses which compose Burton-Judson courts. Except for Friday and Sunday movies, rate is the time when a female steps inside the iron gates which close the comts. Activities range from television to ping-pong to bridge to high fidelity. B-J men have long been notorious for not being seen outSide B-j from September toJune, spending all their time within the grey walls. All the residents get together at meal hours when they eat and gripe about the food, reminisce about the great vege-patty scandal and talk very much about very little. On every hoor there is at least one phonograph, which either pleases or annoys the residents. The steam that is blown OH is condensed into water, which is thrown and splashed much to the relaxa- tion and wetness of participants. Once in a while a crowd will gather in one ol the courts to watch someone walking along a third storyr ledge. About half the residents wander clown to the snack bar in the evenings to look at paintings and waitresses and each other, over coffee. 14- Mr Alan AUSIEH, Director of University Hanging. The ij Council: Walt Williams, Elmer Iwiaas, Bob Huff, Bill Harmon, Louis Kalavity, Butch Kline, Pedro Caslaing. Largely responsible for the facility of isolation in B-J is the B-J Council which maintains the permanent extra-currieular program for the resi- dents. Among the facilities provided by the council are the B-J movies, the snack bar, the library and listening room with a hi-fi system, the television set, the recreation room with facilities for ping- pong, billiards and pool, the recreation area be- hind the courts and the common rooms which are used for dances, parties and meetings. In previous years the council was composed of two elected representatives from each house with a president, vice-presiclent, secretary, and treas- urer. Most of the work was done by council members and interested committees. It was dis- covered, however, that this system did not eHect the desirable unity in the courts nor did it provide enough assistance to individual house functions. The constitution was amended so that the council would be composed of the eight house presidents, elected twice a year. Beginning in the winter quarter, the new council met and elected Bill Harmon chairman and Louis Kalavity, secretary- treasurer. The members of the council were urged to stress house activities. The job of main- taining the permanent all-court activities was delegated to extrapeouncil committees composed exclusively of interested persons. The council existed as a policy making group on the court level, with a greater emphasis given to house ac- tivities. The permanent activities were expanded: the movie committee bought a new projector and began a policy of showing movies of general in- interest on Friday nights and more artistic mov- ies on Sunday nights; the library improved its high-tidelity system and enlarged the collection of records; the snack bar bought new lighting fixtures, put checkered cloths 0n the tables, in- stalled a new juke box and hired two waitresses, nearly doubling the business. Descriptions about pictures in B-J art exhibit prove to be occasion for laughter. B-J boys have snow Fight in back of court during mid-winter SHOVVSEOI'ITI. After an early and singularly unsuccessful ven- ture into the social field, Dodd House retreated into an isolationist attitude which exhibited itself in a number of distinctive ways, each designed to be beneficial to the members of the house.

Housed there this year was an assortment of graduate students from some eighteen depart- ments, disciplines and divisions. This crew, from the isolation of the sixth Floor to the strident bridge game in the lounge, did its best to render scholarship in general and dormitory life in par- ticular as painless as possible. Few were recruited for intramurals but many were lured by an active social program. Vincent House was a hotbed of political ac- tivity again this year with the appearance of the Machine. Following his mid-year election as leader, Elmer Maas failed in an attempt to be- come dictator and the Machine collapsed. Aloof from the political scene were the Chan Fans. In their second year in Vincent, these devotees of Charlie Chan continued their whole- hearted support of the Great Chan, his wit and his exploits. Coultcr House? hotshot track team.

Faculty speakers and exchange dinners with girls from the C-group were features of the social calendar. Accent in Linn House was on social activities. Highlights of the season were listed as the unique Shish-ka-bob dinner dance, the Lunsfordhs Sat- urday open houses and the Valentine party, corn- pletE with chorus line. The calendar also included the usual C-group exchange and faculty dinners. Intramural participation, supplemented by snowball lights on the Midway, composed the athletic activities. Members list the pre-study hour bull session as their most educational and popular activity. Informal coffee hours every Wednesday even- ing sponsored by Resident Head, jim Newman, were a hit feature in SaIiSbury House through- out thc year. One big party was held each quarter, some date events, and some open houses. Besides social events, Salisbury also had several cultural ones such as frequent lectureadiscussions by Mr. Meiklejohn and Dr. Mackauer.

Here Elin Ballancyne pours coffee for Prof. Mark Ashin in Green 1 S9 Kelly House, part of the C-group, is the smal- lest of the womeds dormitories on campus. There are approximately forty giris--all undergradu- ates. Formerly, most of the residents were early entrants; this year it is comprised mainly of high school graduates. Several times each quarter the house plans and carries out social events such as open houses, exchange dinners, a swimming party, a Christmas party complete with carol- ling, and Sunday afternoon teas with members of the Administration. Officers are elected each quarter. Presidents during 1955-56 were Helene Rudolph, Louise Mama, and Ann Murphy. The house head of Kelly is Charlotte Ellinwood, who also works in the psychology department. Assist- ant house-head is Ethel Jones; now working for her PhD in economics. During the year, Char- lotte and Ethel have given the girls of Kelly impromptu parties in Charlottegs apartmente vitamin C parties, end-of-quarter sessions, a Washingtonls birthday celebration, and a party for the poor, destitute, Irish lepraehauns. The largest of the girlsa dorms on campus is Green Hause, which contains approximately 80 girls. The dorm has, for the most part, residents in their second or third year in the college. The girls of Green this year elected as their presi- dents, Marilyn Vondraek who presided for the first and second quarter, and Lorraine Katz, the third quarter. The resident head in Green, Marge Ravitz, and the assistant residents, Lang Collins and Mary Meuser, aid the girls in plan- ning their different functions throughout the year. Each Thursday evening they have a coffee hour, and they have had discussions given by foreign students. Many parties are given in the House including a Christmas party presented to the students by Mrs. Ravitz, a Halloween party entitled Freudian Delight, where everyone at- tending came as their suppressed desire. The mascot in the dorm is Lang Collins? stuffed duck billed platypus. Top: Going through the food line in the dorm. rift'a'dfe: A moment for relaxing in the lounge.

It met with the full support Of the University. Trustees started things off with $4,000,000 from their 51 members, alumni were lined up for $3,000,000 and even the faculty lwhose salaries the drive is supposed to raiseJ are dropping their hard-earned pennies into the till.

This statement and money given to the regular funds of the University, not to the campaign, was a monument to Chicagols methods of education. This spirit of Study and research, unafraid and unfettered, has made the University great. The fulhlled goals described on the following pages will help make it even greater. 137 A University can be 110 greater than its faculty. The University of Chicago has long recognized this principle. From the day it opened its doors on October 1, 1892, great men have Elled the lecterns and laboratories. In order to bring these men to Chicago and keep them; the University has paid salaries well above market price. But the standards of 1940 and even 1945 can- not apply to 1956, and there is keen competition for great minds, not only from Other educational institutions, but from commerce, industry and the professions. These higher Fmaneial rewards have lured many great teachers and research men to more lucrative lielcls. 138 More men are needed to meet the needs of an increasing enrollment and more money is needed to pay them and the men already at the Univer- sity. In addition to its present faculty, the Uni- versity estimates that by 1965, it will have added: GU instructors, 37 assistant professors, 19 asso- ciate professors, and 7' full professors. To meet these requirements, $8,639,000 is needed above the present budget. Of great help in lilling this need has been the Ford Foundation. In December it gave a half-billion dollar grant to American colleges and universities to raise teachers5 salaries. The University of Chicago received the third largest grant.

Emil .Iohnson conducts tour of campus for new studcnts during Orientation VVCCl-L Scholdmlazp; Z0 8mg N EW Student; Every student at an American university is on a ctscholastrahip, for even though he must pay full tuition, he cannot pay the full cost of higher education. But yet the cast is high, and thou- sands cannot meet it. They simply do not have enough money to go to college. More money is needed for scholarships and fellowships. Last year the University had to turn away several hundred qualified high school grad- uates because it had used up all thc available money for scholarships. Chicago cannot afford to lose thesti students, and the nation Cannot. Of the nearly ten thou- sand University of Chicago graduates listed in Ii'izohs Tl 7'10, Amnimn 1149!? sf Science, Leadem in Edit- mdzbrr and the Directory! qf z-lmerican Scimiam, almost 190 half were dependent on scholarship or fellowship aid to see them through college. W'ithcmt that aid, these men might have been unknown: Arno B. Luckhardt, discoverer of ethylene gas, Clinton I. Davisson, Nobel lauiate in Physics, George E. Vincent, President of the Rockefeller Founda- tion; Edgar j. Goodspeed, noted theologian and Bible expert; Mackanzie King, Premier of Can- ada. These are but: Flve names from a long list. Chicago lags behind other institutions in monies available for scholarships and fellowships. At Harvard it is $13.15 per student, at Yalti $14.03 but at the University Of Chicago, only $9.57. To fill this gap, the University needs an additional 32,0005000 Over a ten-year period. A MW Home far oz Grew Law School . . . One Of the glories of the University Of Chicago is its Law School. Ever since President Theodore Roosevelt laid the cornerstone in 1903, it has been one of the Outstanding law schools in the nation, both for the lawyers it graduated and the legal research it produced. In 1955 the Universityls Law School received an additional honor when the American Bar Association chose Chicago as the site of its perma- nent headquarters. Associate Justice Robert Jackson laid the cornerstone and a year later Chiefjustice Earl Warren dedicated the building. But the facilities for the school are inadequate. The two Classrooms cannot hold the influx of students. Enrollment has steadily risen and applications have trebled in the last five years. There is no library space to meet ordinary ex- pansion requirements, and there is no space for the many programs of legal research. Chicago, at present, has less space for its law school than Model of proposed Law School, Library and Auditorium to 1 i - 6.. ; -. any other major legal institution in the nation. A new group of modern buildings will house the law school in the future. The buildings pic- tured below will rise between the American Bar Center and Burton Judson-on a plot now occu- pied by temporary vereransi housing. The hexagonal shaped building will provide a modem auditorium for large classes and lectures; the faculty oHices and research projects will be centered in the low rectangular building behind it; the library is in the pillar-set structure at the side of the reflecting pool and the student lounge in the building to its right. This group of build- ings will provide a unit for study and research as modern as any in the nation. The new building will cost $3,500,000. A substantial start toward raising this money has come once again from the F 0rd Foundation which gave $800,000 in january to be applied toward a new home for the Law School. be built across Midway near American BarAssociation Center.

The heart of the University is its library, and Chicago has one of the best in the nation. But in years of belt-tightening, the library budget has been cut and it has been diffleult to keep up with contemporary studies. Chicago spends only 2 per cent of its budget on the library. U.C.L.A. spends 13 per cent, Yale and Princeton, almost 6. To keep up with its high standards, the library needs $110,000 annually for ten years. Unrestricted funds are an essential to Uni- versity management. Too small a proportion of its gifts and bequests are unrestricted, and the University has often been hard put to find cash for necessary budget support. The University needs $4,640,000 in unrestricted funds, money which will be used for purposes both dramatic and prosaic v-whether it be used to buy a pencil or a library of first editions or anything in between.

Although the University of Chicago is famous throughout the world for the great minds on its faculty and the high caliber and world-shaking aCCOmplishments in research, it has also won wide renown in its traditional role as a teacher of teachers. Its program of teacher-training reaches into every educational level--- from the lofty heights of post-Ph.D. study down to kindergarten. In schools, colleges, and universities all across the United States1 University of Chicago gradu- ates are training administrative staffs. Former Chicago students are leaders in education throughout the world. More than 100 are serv- ing as presidents of universities, colleges, research institutes and seminaries in all parts of the nation. Everywhere the quality of education in America's grammar and secondary schools and junior colleges has become a matter of great concern. This is reflected in books, magazine articles, radio and television broadcasts: and even in motion pictures. This concern assumes 194- even greater proportions when we consider the number of teachers who will be required to meet the demands of a growing population. Within the next decade America will need nearly 21 mil- llon new classrooms. Even today there is a short- age of 130,000 teachers in the nationjs public schools. By 1970 there will be 70 per cent more men and women ofeollege age than there are now. Quality of education must be maintained and improved. The Department of Education of The University of Chicago has a long tradition of high quality in its teacher-training program. The University has an obligation to maintain that quality and at the same time to train more teachers. To help meet this responsibility; the University will require $1,000,000 $100,000 a year for ten yearsl to establish fellowships for outstanding teachers and administrators whose influence will spread far beyond the b0undaries of their own specific posts.

Where I196 Money G065 . . . It is an ambitious undertaking indeed. But Chancellor Kimpton and Vice-Presidcnt George H, Watkins have assembled a staff competent to handle the job. This staff includes trustees, ad- ministrative staff, faculty, students, alumni and even a public-relations firm. Responsibility for raising the money is divided by its source These men head the various com- mittees: Edward L. Ryerson, Chairman, Steer- ing Committee, Clarence B.

Along with the great effort of the administra- tion 0H3eials and faculty members planning and CO-ordinating the campaign, it was students or recent graduates of the U. ofC.wh0 worked on the coilection 0f the data, fmancial facts and figures concerning the University, and its place in the academic world and the nation. Those facts scattered in innumerable books, reports and known to the oHieials 0f the University, were painstakingly gathered by the Research Depart- ment of the Campaign, headed by Claude C. Wells, an oHicer 0f the U. of G, and staffed 100 per cent by students and graduates. The response has been phenomenal. I11 Janu- ary, the University of Chicago had $36,000,000 in its coffers that was not there a scant six months before. Over $16,000,000 of this amount was donated for campaign purposest The Campaign . . had raised half its quota in one sixth of the john A.
