To lose a man and gain a university This constant unrest and flux is confusing, chaotic, and sometimes even pernicious. But once an institution be comes static it is stagnant and empty. Chicago is not deep- Iy moved by competition with the Ivy League or with the Iron Curtain or with the Nineteenth Century. It is in com- petition with itself. Not so Strange, then, that one of the most important events of the year 1957-48 was the loss of a man. For Robert M. Strozicr, now president of Florida State Uni- versity, the atmosphere, the goals, and the methods of Chi- cago are useful and desirable. During his long tenure as Dean of Students, this honest and capable man developed and lived under these precepts of freedom. His favorite question was, What are we here for but to change the rules? The loss of such a man is only a physical loss, for he both leaves behind and takes with him the Chicago tra- dition that he helped to build.

10 The Chicago tradition . . . Such a tradition is not what is commonly called a ugreat tradition.n It is not something which can he neatly pre- served in some recognizable object which can be ogled by prospects, revered by students, and fondly remembered by alumni. The so-ealled rules and traditions at Chicago exist only to be changed and changed again. For the University could saw up Mark Hopkinsh log to make a gross of superior mousetraps; it could embrace an Old Tradition, heavily trophicd With a duSty brace 0f cob- webby old grads and old school ties; it could devote itself to the mass production of stereoryped mbots and beasrs; it could be content with the same kinds of students, teachers, and arguments year after year; it could quite easily modify itself to fit the profitable pattern of the American college, where a good time is had by all. But behind its quiet fagade of hv'lidweStern Gothic, the University of Chicago has never toed the line of the ordinary, the approved, and the respectable when these did not and could not contribute to relevant problems in the advancement of knowledge, the development of wisdom, and the discovery of truth.
