Vol. XV No. 13 May 21, 1935 Radicalism In the recent investi'ration of radical influ- ences at the University of Chicago, it was tri- umphantly brought out by the accusers that the university had encouraged its students to ask “How do we know our system is the best one?” All good Americans are apparently expected to hear this with shudders of consternation, but somehow, we don’t seem able to qualify. In fact, it seems obvious that we can‘t know that our system is the best one; we may believe, and strongly so, that it is, and we may, without being treasonable or traitorious, disbelieve it, so long as we do not advocate overthrow of the gov- ernment by violence. It is clear, of course, that the University of Chicago is really charged with teaching that our system is not the best, and with advocating an- other. But President Hutchins has said that it is not so, and we can place far more reliance in his integrity, and in his judgment, than in that of some of the gentlemen who are peddling their newspapers by getting purple faces over the red menace. President Hutchins has stated the position of the university, and his statement leaves no room for supposing that his school has any object other than to seek dispassionately whatever truths it can find about government and society. If it attempted to teach belief in any political creed whatever, it would not be an educational institution at all, but an institute of propaganda. Then if the University of Chicago teaches its students to ask, “How do we know that our sys- tem is the best one?” it does no more than its duty as an institution of higher learning. We might ourselves ask that question, and we would have to answer that in all probability it will be replaced in time by a better one. Certainly it is not perfect; certainly men are Worrying over its imperfections and seeking for ways to mend them; certainly no government has yet shown signs of lasting unchanged forever. It is incredible that with all the evidence of history as to the impermanence of man’s institu— tions, men Should still cling to the old “whatever is is right” idea, or admitting that things are not as they should be, should shrug their shoulders hopelessly and say, “It will always be so.” It has not always been so; we are far happier, more comfortable, and more secure today than we were a hundred years ago. That progress will con— tinue. Of course it is clear that much of our recent advancement has been in realms scientific rather than political. But there have been political changes before; if they are needed they will come again. Certainly when we know so much about how to produce, we will be able to find some way of utilizing our knowledge to the full for the good of all. When it will come no one knows, but some— ‘ Where on the horizon a golden age is dawning. > w m w <11 m .11 w w. 6 6 "'1 Eu 11 kr 9 The 5 1pst1c Cleave to ”The Slipsricku' ? the Slapstick fly where it may. 4 There are many, many things I hate.

The story is going around about a football player in 1 small college who was unusually dumb. To the surprise of everyone he passed all of his work, including a rather stiff chemistry course, thereby becoming eligible for the big game. One of the instructors asked the chemistry professcr how it was possible that he passed chemistry. The chem istry professor said: “I decided that I would let him pasr if he answered 50% of the questions correctly. “I asked him two questions—one he answered wrong one he answered right. Therefore, I let him pass.” “The first question was: ‘What colrr is b.uc vitriol?‘ He answered, ‘Pink.’ That time he was wrong: “The other question was: ‘Hz‘w do you make sulphuric acid?’ He answered that he didn’t know. That time he was right." 1: fl, :1: The first hermit was really a Scotch golfer who slic- ed his ball into the woods. )1! :1 e WHEN TWO “RASSLERS” GET TOGETHER Schuman: Who’s going to pay for the meal tonight?

(Which proves ‘ that size doesn‘t mean a thing) At a certain rummage sale Milt caught two culp1its red- handed. One of them was a gent who tried to walk 1 out with a pair of shoes under his coat. That reminds us of the story of the drunk who leaned over the ban to his buddy and said, “Pst, don’t look now, but there’s a fellow walking out with your hat and coat.” (If that strikes you funny, forgive us, because this is not prima1ily :1 humor column).
