The custom of distinguishing students from faculty is objectionable: if a professor is not a student he is a charlatan, and only a great charr Iatan can be comiortable in a great university. George Sligler Business Student Health work presents problems not en- countered in mcdical practice with other occu- pationa! and age groups. But, the difficulties are compensated by the satisfaction of helping young people achieve and maintain health which is essential to the fullest use Of their education. Henrietta Herbalsheimer Student Health Nothing looks as much like genius and original- 11y as pure insanity, except possible genius and originaliiy. Inseph E. Mayer Chemistry 20

Mankind is distinguished from the beasts at least as much by his capacity to rationalize as by his capacity to reason. Milton Friedman Economics There was a gag many years ago that U. of C. politics ran the gamut from the extreme left to just ieit of center. Now it is reported that stu- dents have become fat and contented. I offer no sour grapes comment; may they grow ever more fat and contented.

Priestly: Turbulent Transfer in the Lower Atmosphere The students ought to be ashamed. Nobody but the faculty is objecting to subjecting them to special test-oaths before they can collect government scholarship money. Samuel K. AHison Physics One of the strange and distressing character- istics of American students. including most U. 01' C. students, is their intellectual immatur- ity. They are, as a rule, more mature than their European peers in the practical aspects of life. When it comes to marriage, child rearing, get? ting a job, and similar matters. American stu- dents are more mature than European 01' Asian students. But intellectually they are more im- mature. This manifests itself in their inability to devise their own programs, their strong need for guidance, their lack of adventuresnmeness in the selection of courses. They prefer the ttsafcf prescribed programs to striking out for themselves, the rehash nf well-worn curricula t0 imaginative new combinations. This mayr make good sense from a vocational standpoint, but it is not likely to create soon a dedicated association of scholars. and for this reason the really creative scholar is likely to remain a maverick in American society Bert FA Hoselitz Social Sciences 21
