ToS Success

Charles Darwin's formula for
his success was described in his
autobiography:
". the love Of science, un-
bounded patience in long re-
fiecting over any subject, indus
try in observing and collecting
facts, and a fair share of in
vention as well as common
sense"
Darwin also reflected: "I have
steadily endeavored to keep my
mind free so as to give up any
hypothesis, however much be-
loved land I cannot resist form
ing one on every subjecD, as
soon as facts are shown to be
opposed to it,"

tional reputation and attracts
other Government research grants,
like those from the National Insti-
tutes Of Health, which are directly
integrated into the medical school.
A major problem raised by the
extensive federally financed re-
search programs operated by the
universities is the question of cost.
Many universities are convinced
that on balance they lose money
because the Government does not
adequately compensate them for
their overhead expenses. It is ex-
tremely difficult to allocate the
cost Of heat, light, janitor service,
library facilities, ETC., that are
fairly chargeable to special re-
search projects conducted on the
campus. This is one reason why
it is felt that the more Federal

Physics Laboratory financed a
Navy project concerned with
guided missile technology and
aerodynamlcs, while the Opera

Army to study defense techniques.

to the university for biological and
medical research in its own medi-
cal school.

More than half of the operating
budget of some of our leading
private universities is now A.
nanced by Federal funds because
of the great scope of Government
sponsored research programs.
Since the war the Federal Gov
ernment has assisted the universi-
ties-State and private-to expand
their scientific and medical re-
search in the national interest to
the point that 10 per cent of all
university research is being fed
orally financed.
The great preponderance Of
these funds goes into research
projects for national defense re-
quired by the Air Force, Navy and
Army as well as the Atomic En-
ergy Commission. They involve
programs as diverse as anti
missile missiles and new methods
of training troops in the use of
the rifle.
Aside from the military i'm
portance of research, millions of
dollars of Federal funds are chan
neled into the universities for
basic scientific research required
by the National Science Founda-
ton. In addition, there has been
such an increase in federally spon-
sored medical research that more
than two-thirds of all university
medical research is paid for by
the Government.
These vast amounts of Federal
funds-about $3.50 million was
spent on all forms of university
research in 1958-have created a
revolutionary change in the rela-
tionShip Of the Federal Govern
ment to higher education. This
is true for research in the physical
sciences-chemiStry, physics, geo.
logy, geophysicS, etc.-where the
Federal Government pays about
W per cent of the bill.
30 Per Cent Federal Funds
Here is the way it works at a
private university like Princeton:
Inlrty per cent of the total op-
erational budget comes from Fed
eral sources. This excludes mil.
lions spent on the costly construc-
ton Of elaborate scientific equip
ment and facilities, essential to
the conduct of basic research,
which most universities would find
1t extremely difficult, if not i'm
possible to finance on their own.

A Century Of Darwin's "Ongin"

and between many living organ
isms and their fossil ancestors.
Darwin did not leap into print.
He spent 20 years of hard work
collecting and organizing the evi-
dence from systematic biology,
embryology. and paleontology that
he finally presented in The Origin
Of Species. In this closely rea-
soned treatise he brings forward
what now for a century has been
considered to be overwhelming
evidence in favor of the general
fact Of evolution as well as Of his
own explanation of how such pro-
gresSive change in plant and ami
NAL life may have taken place. It
should be noted that at about this
time Alfred Russell Wallace, who
had also been on an exploring trip,
independently came to the idea
Of evolution and of the survival Of
the flttest as the instrument Of
progressive change.
The view, as presented by Dar-
win. that all existing species Of
plants and animals have developed
from earlier forms is now gener-
ally accepted by scientists every
where. Since Darwin's time, and
especially since the work Of Gregor
Mendel, an Austrian priest and
scientist, students Of evolution
have concerned themselves in
creasingly with the reproductive
or germ cells Of the organisms
rather than considering alone the
adult characteristics of plants and
animals.
New Science of Genetics
This new science Of genetics, as
it has developed, has brought into
being a truly quantitative under
standing of the genes that produce
the adult characteristics of organ
isms and thus make possible the
phenomena Of evolution which
Darwin described. Today modern
genetics gives a basic framework
for the generally accepted view of
evolution as considered in all the
biological sciences, including psy-
chology, and also in sociology and
social anthropology.
The Origin of Species. therefore,
must be taken as one Of the true
turning points in the history Of
the intellectual world. Like other
great ideas it was, Of course, not
without its predecessors, nor was
it a finished system as stated by
its great author.
Sir Gavin de Beer, director Of
the British Museum Natural His
tory, has recently well summar-
lied the influence Of Darwin upon
all modern academic thought. He
says:
with the same confidence as
it accepts Copernicus-demonstra-
ton of the movement Of the earth
around the sun, and Newton's
formulation of the laws of this
movement, science can now cele-
brate the centenary Of the first
general principle to be discovered
applicable to the entire realm of
living beings"

BALTIMORE. - Milton Slower
Eisenhower is president of Johns
Hopkins University and one of
the Nations foremost educators.
But most people think of him
simply as President Eisenhower's
brother.
Milton, so, doesn't mind this.
He has regarded brother Dwight
with deep respect and downright
affection since those early days in
Abilene when Ike, nine years his
senior, was holding his own in
back = Of the barn tuSsles and
competing in high school football.
AS the two pursued their re-
spective careers Ike turned often
to Milton for his advice as well
as companionship.
They were especially close dur
ing the late '20s, when Ike was
a major on Gen. MacArthur's
staff in Washington and Milton

culture.
The two still think amazingly
alike. It's said that one can start
a sentence and the other finish it
while keeping intact the original
thought.
Since President Eisenhower
went into the White House Milton
has been one Of his closest ad-
viSers. This has become increas-
ingly true since 1856, when Milton
left the presidency of Penn State
University to take over the reins
at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore.
President Eisenhower once told
an associate: II think I would
rather take Mllton's views than
those of anyone else He's a
unique brother. He's got the re-
spect of all the older ones"

Half Of the Federal operational
funds go for the maintenance of
the Forrestal Research Center,
mainly concerned with thermo-
nuclear research, such as attempts
to harness the hydrogen bomb and
high energy physics. The Forres-
tai Center, an integrated unit Of
the university, contributes to the
scientific departments by attract
ing outstanding faculty members
to Princeton, by helping shape the
scientific course of study and by
training graduate students.
In addition, another Is per cent
of Princeton's operating budget,
also derived from the Federal
Government, is used for scientific
research programs in physics,
chemistry, astronomy, biology and
mathematics.
In universities such as M. I. T.
large-scale Federally sponsored
special research projects, which
have only an indirect relationship
to the university proper, are re-
sponsible for the fact that Federal
funds probably account for con-
Siderably more than half the uni
versity's operating budget. For
example, M.I.T.'S project Lincoln
"a highly classified defense pro-
gram-may be responsible for
perhaps 10 per cent of all the
professional staff employed by the
university.
Useful to Universities
Although such projects are
mainly undertaken for patriotic
reasons, they are useful to the
university in several other ways
than prestige. The M. I. T. teach
ing faculty derives benefit from
contacts with the Project Lincoln
staff because much of the special
work is necessarily of a non
classified nature concerned with
basic and applied research. Also
the university may use these facili-
ties to train its graduate students
at least on a part-time basis. The
scientists working on such a
project benefit from the university
library, intellectual contacts with
other faculty members and the
general academic atmosphere.
At Johns Hopkins University,
about $25 million out of a total
1858 expenditure of almost $40
million came from Federal re-
search contracts and grants. Most
OF this was spent on two major

enter by the south entrance-away
from the lobby where the reporters
congregate-and, precisely at the
appointed time, call on his brother.
Milton will not have an immedi-
ate answer to plunk down. In
stead he most likely will recon-
struct the problem from its origin
and, through the process of logic,
bring it down to the present time.
Then the two try to reason out a
solution.
Milton occasionally receives
letters asking him to bring a GER
tain subject or appointment pros
pect to the Presidents attention.
Millions staff of three secretaries
and an assistant know the answer
will be negative, so they simply
draft a courteous reply and re-
turn the request to the sender.
Milton was me last of seven
sons Of David and Ida Elizabeth
Eisenhower. There was every rea-
son for his developing into a
mama's boy. His mother had
wanted girl so much after the
long series of male heirs that she
let his curls grow, and his eye

research projects, the greater the
drain on other university funds.
After the war a number of uni
versities located large Government
research projects in vacant build
ings. Then when sizeable in
creases in enrolment began to
develop, the universities had a
shortage of classroomS and had
to construct new buildings to COM
pensate for those filled by Federal
research programs.
Nevertheless, the universities are
under competitive pressure to ac-
cept Federal research projects be-
cause the Government usually
makes the offer to a distinguished
professor. If the university to
which he belongs refuses the
project, he will threaten to resign
and take the project to another
university. For example, the De-
fense Department offered a large
university a half million dollar
Synchotron if it built a $750,000
building and provided a high
priced staff. The Physics Depart
ment threatened to resign in
group unless the offer were ac-
cepted and the univerSity'S
finances did not get into balance
again until private donor agreed
to pay for the already completed
building.
Competition for Monpower
In the case of the large fed
orally financed research centers.
the high salaries they offer tend
to compete for the scarce out
standing scientists and trained
manpower, thus weakening many
educational institutions.
One of the biggest questions
now troubling both university and
Federal officials is whether, as the
universities accept more respon-
sibilities, such as Government re-
search programs, in an uncritical
manner they may lose the ability
to control their own destinies.
Recently DIR. John w. Gardner,
president of the Carnegie corpo-
ration, warned university officials
that 'if the university is to avoid
the more obvious haZards-of
scattering its energies, of accept
ing trivial assignments, of playing
technician when it should be play
ing statesman-then it will have
to take the lead in appraising it's
outside responsibilities and in for
mulating a clear conception Of its
own role"

Five of the six have become

sixth, Ben Holt, himself has
more arsenic than normal in
his system.
But, ask puzzled health and

Mrs. Mary Holt, 27, started

soning-last May, five months
after they bought their house.
After three weeks in a hospital
she came home cured.
Now she's ailing again.

Mary Darlene, 7; Cynthia, S,
and Constance, 4.
Mr.. Holt, 81, is a baker. Of

to contain 80 milligrams Of
arsenic, compared to 800 milh-
grams in his wife's body.
"It's awfully strange. Mr..

The accident occurred shortly
after 8 am. at the intersection
of Thirtieth and P streets NV.
The fire truck, from Engine
Company %. was on its way to

of @ street NV. The alarm
turned out to be only an over
heated motor in a dishwasher,
f1remen said.
