UNIVERSITY OF ?lINNESOTA 9J:~:t:~ /t;'~.-e c?~ ~:~L THE HEIGH OF LAW 5'3 cr"'r \, " Cap and Gorm Day Convooation Address University of Minnesota May 13, 1948 By Dean Everett Fraser, University of M[nnesota Sohool of Law
"There ought to be a law. 1I These words come naturally to our lips whenever we see human conduct which shocks our sense of justice. They denote our belief in the need for law to regulate the conduct of men and our faith in , the efficacy of law to accomplish this purpose. In our eagerness to achieve our desired and, we are apt to forget the conditions necessary in order that law may be an effective means of social control. Law in its broad sense is the regulation of human relations. It includes government in all its branches and subdiVisions; the agencies that make the rules, legislative, executive, and judicial; and the agencies which administer them. These are the instruments designed to promote the public vrelfare, to enable men
to live together in peace, man ~ith man, group with group, nation wit~ nation. All these institutions national and international are within the compass of law. The progress of the law is a good measure of the progress of civilization.
Man's early days on earth ~ere days of the most rugged individualism. There was little or no government and few rules for human conduct. There prevailed lithe simple plan, that he should take who has the power, and he should keep who oan." This was akin to the law of the jungle, the law of the tooth and the claw. The law of the jungle remains unchanged, but man, the thinking animal, has progressed to better law.
(More) - 2 - The unit of government, beginning with the family, enlarged to the blood kin, the tribe, the kingdom, the empire, the federation. The governors of these units, patriarch, chief, king or emperor kept a measure of peace within his unit. But tribe fought with tribe, kingdom with kingdom, and empire with empire. Within each unit the individual was restrained. The mere existence of even the crudest of governments implies a restraint on the natural freedoms of the governed. The first restraints nere of physical force. A man should be privileged to swing his arms, but not rrhen his fists will come in contact nith the body of another man. The restraint of A is for the protection of B. These restraints and protections are reciprocal. B too is restrained for the protection of A. The objective of the law is protection. Restraint is only the means to achieve this end. The law does not restrict the natural freedom of the individual except as it conceives restraint necessary for the protection of others. This is a thought to remember when you are speeding on the highrray or when you see the amber light at the crossing.
The great problem of the law is the determination of .:hat should be protected and how far protection should extend. Every person has desires which he wishes to satisfy, ~hich in our legal terminology are called interests. So long as the interests of one do not conflict with the interests of others there is no problem. But when the interests of the one do conflict with the interests of
others a problem arises ft The determining criterion is society's standards of values. On many matters these standards are definitely determined. With respect to physical violence, theft, and fraud there is no doubt. One's interests in freedom of his body from harm, of his property from theft or fraud are unhesitatingly protected from the desires of those who would invade these interests. LikeWise, on the other extreme, one's interest in freedom of his feelings from hurt are not protected from the interest of another in hurting them. You may indulge your desire, if you are that kind of a person, to make faces at (More) - 3 - another, to thumb your nose at him, or say nasty words to him. The law does not encourage such acts, but the hurt. are too trivial for protection. But between these extremes in respect to many human desires the choice is not between blaok and white, but between shades of grey. Society's standards of values hesitate between them. An example in modern law is the conflict betvreen the individual's desire for privacy and freedom of the press. For strange though it may seem, there are persons who do not wish their pictures to be published. The law had
to make a choice betv~en these conflicting desires and in general has made it in
favor of freedom of the pres~. So far I have spoken of the protection which the law gives to individuals and the correlative restraints which it imposes upon individuals. These protections it gives to each and so to all; and these restraints it imposes upon each and so upon all. The crux of the problem of applying law to the regulation of human relations lies in the uncertainty of the standards of value according to l,hich protections
are to be determined and restraints are to be imposed. For us, some interests are deemed of such paramount importance that the sovereign people have themselves declared through our constitutions that they shall be protected. Freedom of speech, of worship, of assembly, of petition, freedom from imprisonment without trial and other freedoms are not left in doubt. Those interests of individuals are protected not only as against other individuals, but against government itself. The value of these interests is not left to the determination of legislatures or courts~ But many interests of men are left to be so determined, and uncertainty prevails as to the standards that should be applied to them. These standards must be determined before the problems can be brought within the demain of law.
(More) -4-
Thoro are other oonditions that must be satisfied before the law can be extended to new areas of co'ntrol. Law can not be effective unless it is supported by the preponderant opinion of those who are subject to it. Law is the expression of the life of a pooJ!le, it does not mold that lifo. The human spirit, the human will, are stronger than any law. Laws prematurely enacted may defoat the purpose of those who enact them. The prohibition law is an illustration. UpOn the enactment of the prohibitory law educational efforts stopped and reliance was placed on tho law. But the people asserted thoir right to do as thoy pleased. c::,· servationwould load one to believo that thero is a groator per capita consumption of intoxicating liquor now than thore was boforo prohibition was enacted. One must approve tho purpose, but he may well doubt the wisdom, of pro posals in tho Congress to enact cortain laws dosigned to affoct certain practices in Southern states. These proposals rolate to matters that have boen regulated by the states, and the laws of Congress would be regarded as "foreign." They would run counter to strong feelings of many persons in those states. For these reasons, they may create attitudes of resistance not only to the laws themselves,but also to the process of education in respect to the practices to which the laws relate. Laws cannot replace education. There are under discussien teday two ideas for the extension of control by law in which the public are intensely interested. They relate to labor relations and to international relations. The law does not require that labor controversies be submitted to ceurts or other governmental agencies for final decision. It docs require that certain procedures be followed, but in the end the partics may resort to the lockout and tho strike.. These are methods of self help, somcwhat annlogous to private wars, which have long since been forbidden in other typos ef controversies. Why, it is being asked, does not the law forbid these practices, and require the partieste submit their disputes to courts?
(Mere) -5- There is reason for the wuestion. The losses to the parties involved arising from lockouts and strikes arc large. Tho lossos to the public arc widely distributod and less visible, but they nre likewise large. In some cases, such as the railroads, coal mines, or steel industry, a prolonged cessation of work would amount to a national disaster. These losses could be prevented and evoryone would be bettor off, if the law could take control as it has in other cases and require the parties to submit their controversy to a public tribunal and to abido by its decision. No man should be judge in his own cause, yet the law shrinks from requiring tho parties to labor controversies to accept the decisions of othors.
This hesitancy, it is submitted, is not due to any constitutional obstacle~ but arisos from the nature of the controversies. Labor disputes arc in respect to wages, hours and conditions of work, and society has no clearly defined standards of values by which these questions may be determined. At present one may suspect they arc being determined by degrees of pressure and resistance rather then by any nicely gradu~ted standards of values. Again, the interests involved arc vital, particularly for the laborers, and tho outcome affects their way of life and their very livelihood. These vital interests may be analogized to the vital interests of nations which are withheld from the jurisdiction of international judicial tribunals. Finally large numbers arc usually involved in these controversies. In most caSes decided by courts, the parties are individuals or small groups, and tho decisions do not affect large numbers of persons at one time. The large numbers involved in labor controversies create a solidarity in maintaining their vital interests and makes enforcement of decisions exceedingly difficult, and in extreme cases perhaps impossible.
Whether these arc the reasons or not, it is ~lear that there is strong opposition at the present time to committing the final decision in labor disputes to judicial tribunals. So long as this attitud3 continues, it would be unwise to attempt such a control by law. But labor relations arc in a transitory stage. (11Ore) -6-
Tho process of education is going on; men are learning b,y eostly experience. Thero is no greater threat to the continuance of free enterprise, and this includes free labor, than these private wars. Centrol by law will come some day,
It may be that the time has nlrer.'.dy come for setting up 0. court of labor relations to which the parties may voluntarily rosort whon other means have failed.
Such a court should consist of men of outstanding ability, integrity, training a~r experience in labor relations. To such 0. court should be committed the task of working out principles and standards for the detormination of such controvere~ .; It would differ from an arbitration board which acts upon the principle of split the difference. Such a court might in court of time win the confidence of emploY0~'s and laborers, and lead them to accept the rule of law and forego the usc of forco_ The other current idea for extending control by law relates to the charter of the United Nations. Various proposnls ~re being made to revise the charter so as to eliminate the voto power, or at least to curtail it. This, it is urged, should be done with the consent of Russia, if possible, but without it, if nocessary. This is dangerous impatience. The United Nations prevides a world forum where the nations may express their ideals, their hopes and their fears. The de bates in this forum are educating the world to the need for effective world contr~ls
They are marshalling world opinion for right and freedom r No nation can remain unaffected by this process. It is education that is needed now, a long arduous precess of education. The fOrlli~ should be preserved for this purpose. Law can de much for the welfare of peeples. But law alone is not enough. IteGffectiveness depends upon the chnracter of the peoples. This character is formed by the home, the school, the church and the University. It is upon the foundation which these provide that the law must rest.

SOIL CONSERVATION DEVICE DEVELOPED IN "utI LABORATORY Minneapolis, June -A neu outlet for box inlet drop spillways which will prevent swirling water from digging large holes and eating away soil-saving dams and highway fills during floods, is described in a report just released by Soil Conservation Service research engineers TIorking at the University of Minnesota's st. Anthony Falls Hydraulic laboratory. The report, v~itten by Charles A. Donnelly, hydraulic engineer for the Soil Conservation service, and published by the United states Depart- ment of Agriculture, describes the studies on the outlet which were conducted over a two-year poriod at the St. Anthony Falls laboratory. The report also tells in detail how to design the neu outlet. A box inlet drop spillway, TIith which this outlet is used, is a rectangular bOX-Shaped structure, open at the top and the dOfmstream end, according to Dr. Lorenz G. Straub, director of the hydraulic laboratory and head of the civil engineering department at the University. The spillway is set in a gulley, a drainage ditch, or irrigation ditch, and v;ater is directed into the box by dikes. The outlet is attached to the open end of the box to carry the vlater harmlessly into the gulloy or ditch, Dr. Straub further explained. (More) ------~~~~~~~~------... .. - 2 - Soil Conservation district cooperators are already using the new drop spillway exit to admit water to their drainage ditches without damage when draining farm land so that larger crops can be produced. Engineers who must control the flow of irrigation uater and devise means of preventing gulleys from destroying our soil resources also are using the new outlet, Dr. Straub said. The study on the new outlet is one in a series of studies to develop better soil conservation structures being carried on at the st. Anthony Falls laboratory in cooperation uith the agricultural experiment station of the University, and the research office of the United States Department of Agriculture's Soil Conservation service. Discoveries made at the laboratory are used all over the United states since this is the only location uhere the Soil Cons0rvation service is studying ways of improving structlITeS used in the Soil Conservation Service soil and water conservation program, Dr. Straub said. Recent visitors at the laboratory have included conservationists from several other countries including Sweden, New Zealand and China. }t JJ. /1. ir rr rr I r UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA NEWS SERVICE JUNE 4, 194$ FOR RELEASE VvEEK OF JUNE 7 U.

Sharp, publishe0. today (Thursday, June 10) by the University of Minnesota Press. According to Sharp, an assistant professor of history at Iowa State college, Ames, Ia., and former University of Minnesota staff member, the forty-ninth parallel has been a far more formidable barrier to historians than to the men and movements they wrote about. Farmers moving unhampered across the border to the Canadian West, Sharp points out in his book, carried with them farming experience which had been developed under similar conditions in the American West. Ideas typically western took root in the prairie provinces and combined with eastern Canadian and British tradition. The agricultural frontier lingered on in western Canada after it had disappeared in the United states, the author recalls, thus the influence of a frontier region on American agriculture continued for many yegrs after the American frontier had officially passed away. Sharp was raised a few miles from the international line and has traveled extensively in the Canadian West.

MacKenzie, assistant professor of mechanical engineering and head of the University's mill·· ing engineering division, reported Tuesday (June 8). The University1s new program in milling engineering, to be supported in large part by an annual $10,000 grant from the Millers f National federation, was created by the Board of Regents last July as a division of the department of mechanical engineering in the institute of technology. MacKenzie announced that the board of directors of the Miller's National federation at its recent annual meeting voted an annual $10,000 a year committment for six years to the support of the course. The new five-year milling engineering curriculum will train engineers for the flour milling industry through a combination of basic courses in mechanical engineering and the agricultural sciences and specialized courses in milling design. Professor ~~cKanzie reported that 15 students are already enrolled in the course which emphasizes basic engineering subjects during its first three yegrs. Specialized classes in flour milling equipment design and milling practice follow in the fourth and fifth years. The first graduates of the five-year University course will receive their degrees in 1951. A total enrollment of 150 students is anticipated for 1952. (More) , -2- Classes in milling subjects, originally scheduled for their first offering in 1949, are available no\": for mechanical engineers in their final year, according to Professor MacKenzie. Seven mechanical engineering senior students are enrolled in these classes. Two of the seniors are employees of companies servicing the flour milling industry. "Summer employment of all students enrolled in the full curriculum is anticipated," MacKenzie reported. "Flour milling companies in Minneapolis are cooperating with the University in placing the students during their vacation periods. The interest of both the students and the milling companies in summer work will give first-year students the opportunity of four full summers of work in the industry before graduation." "Flour Mill Dusts - Their Characteristics and Controlll , has been selected as the first of a series of research projects in milling engineering. These projects are intended to provide basic information for instruction and practical application.

Edward Gerald, University of Minnesota journalism professor, was published today (June 10) by the University of Minnesota Press. The book tells the story of the 6ffect upon the press of vastly increased governmental activity in social and economic fields during the New Deal and war periods. It presents an exhaustive survey of events from the Minnesota gag law case of 1931--which first applied the first amendment of the Constitution against thE. states in matters of press freedom--to enactment of the Taft-Hartley law. Dr. Gerald covers increasing legal restraints upon newspapers in the fields of anti-trust law, newspaper taxes, wage and hour legislation, censorship, picketing, licensing and contempt of court powers. The book analyzes a series of cases decided by the United states Supreme Court from 1931 to 1947. Included are discussions of such cases as the Chicago Sun-Chicago Tribune anti-trust case, the Esquire pOf:tal rogulE:tion case and the Jehovah's Witnesses cases. Dr. Gerald points out that recent press history developed at two levels. Newspapers and radio became involved in the rolitical contest between forces of traditionalism and reform in the 1930's, as agencies of mass communications. At the same time, legal and constitutional rights were affected whenever general legislation was passed involving the press as a business. The author has been a professor of journalism at the University of Minnesota since 1946, and received his doctor of philosophy degree in political scienco and journalism from the University. He formerly was on the staff of the University of Missouri journalism school, and served as manager of the M~ssouri Press association. He has worked for the United Press and several newspapers. #N:! ·, ....::: Dr. r.t , ...... " tile ...... IILIud" IatfW'ill. til. • WII1l _. LI a s~l.

UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA ND{S SERVICE JUNE 11, 1948 E-QB.-.lWJ¥oASE WEEK 0f_.llINE 14 UNIVERSITY GROUP TO EXPLORE OID INDIAN VILLAGES Minneapolis, June - Minnesota residents near Spring Valley, Zimmerman, Orr, Roseau, Granite Falls, .Eggleston and Red vling may find out a lot about the previous inhabitants of their communities when a University of Minnesota anthropology professor and five students start digging into old Indian mounds and village sites this summer. Dr. Lloyd A. Wilford, associate professor in the University's anthro- pology department, and five of his students left Minneapolis this ~eek to conduct an archeological field trip. While digging into the long-forgotten Indian mounds aDd village sites, they hope to discover much about the life of the Woodland Indiana, one of the oldest culture horizons of Eastern United States, and especially, Minne- sota. The Woodland tribes came to Minnesota about 1,000 A.D. and stayed here until the beginning of the American historic period, according to Wilford. They maintained their existence by a practical type of agriculture and made crude, but useful pottery. The explorers' life during the weeks of digging, will resemble the pre- historic Indian cultures. The men will camp in two large tents, cook their own meals and make certain they camp near a river or a lake where they can swim. Spring Valley will be the first place Wilford and his students ,nIl pitch their tents and start digging. Here they will dig into the mounds on the bank of Deer Creek. ''We are not sure what we will find but we do know that they are Wood- land burial mounds", Wilford said. (More) - 2 - The second digging will take place at Elk lake, near Zimmerman, where a very large mound is located. "The mound, 82 feet in diameter and 15 feet high, is too large to dig, but we will go into the outer edges of the mound where the Indians deposited an enormous quantity of bear jaws and teeth," Hilford said. He explained that the buria} of bear jaws and teeth were apparently connected with the religion of the Woodlands~ Approximately three Heeks vrill be spent on the Indian reservation at Nett lake near Orr. There the expedition will live on the reservation and ~dll dig a village site rather than a burial ground. A culture other than the Woodland culture will be explored on the Minnesota river bank Southeast of Granite Falls and on the Yellow Medicine river bank Southwest of Granite Falls. Here the expedition will dig into a fortified village site belonging to Upper Hississippi and Plains culture. These cultures in Minnesota came after the Woodland culture and display a more highly developed ~griculture and more sophisticated pottery, according to lJilford. The last place Wilford and his students will visit will be the Red Wing area on the South end of Prairie Island near Eggleston. ~,Jilford expressed a great interest in this area because of the presence of highly developed shell-tempered pottery in a village site which belonged to the Mississippi culture. This village site containing the pottery, is found close to a large mound group, although the village site may not belong to the same culture as the mounds, Wilford explained. The reason for not digging Prairie Island at the beginning of the trip, Wilford said, is because the village site and mounds are located in a field, and the group cannot dig until after the harvest season. The five University students who will work with Wilford are: Glen Heckman, st. Paul; and from Minneapolis, Francis E. Nickerson, Robert Ernest, Merle Broberg and Eldon O. Johnson. The students will each receive eight University credits for the archeological summer session field trip. The group will return to Minneapolis on August 28. # ,¥ # UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA NEVIS SERVICE JUNE 11, 1948 FOR IMi1EDIATE RELEASE Helen Clapesattle, editor and acting director of the University of Minnesota Press, and Margaret S.

Allen, Co-ordinator of Students' Religious Activities In September 1947, the Regents of the University of Minnesota voted to create the position: Coordinator of Students' Religious Activities to become a functioning agency in the Office of the Dean of Students. The position also carries with it the faculty rank of Associate Professor. As a symbol of public interest in this pioneering work, interested church men in St. Paul and Minneapolis agreed to contribute to the University sufficient funds to defray the expenses of the program during its first two years. Edmund G. Williamson, Dean of Students of the University of Minnesota, acting in close cooperation with the directors of religious foundations on the campus, called to the position Henry E. Allen, Ph.D., of Bronxville, New York, former President of Keuka College, Keuka Park, New York. The University made it clear that it had no intention of under- taking any program of its own since it did not feel that a state university should sponsor a chaplaincy nor a chapel program which would appear to show favoritism to any particular religion nor which would compete with or overlap campus programs already underway sponsored ~ church groups. The coordinator selected is not a clergyman, but has specialized in comparative religions, stressing particularly a sociological approach to religious matters. (More) - 2 - By creating the post of coordinator, the University of Minnesota expresses to its constituency its conviction that religion is important for student development. Recognizing the wide diversity of the religious background of its students, it encourages the activity of those religious groups which wish to serve their young people in attendance at the University. A total of twenty-one such foundations exist on the Twin City car.tpuses. On the St. Paul (Agricultural) campus these groups are: Catholic, Congregational-Presbyterian, Lutheran, Methodist, Minnesota Christian Fellowship (Inter-Varsity), Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. On the Minneapolis campus there are fourteen groups: Baptist, Catholic, Christian Science, Congregational, Episcopalian, Jewish, Lutheran, Missouri Synod Lutheran, Methodist y Hinnesota Christian Fellowship (Inter-varsity), Presbyterian, Tri-U (for Unitarie.n and Universalist students), Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. Functioning as directors of these twenty-one organizations are thirty indiViduals, nearly all full-time workors, who function together cooperatively on each canpus as the Minnesota Councils of Religion. During a typical week of the academic year, more than 150 regularly scheduled meetings, study groups, and worship services are held. Of major significance are the Student Councils of Religion made up of two representatives from each participating religious organization. It is their task to promote inter-faith understanding and to carry on such religious activities as may be common to all participating groups. Unless a project is agreed to by every membor organization, it cannot claim sponsorship of the Student Council of Religion. The experience provided the students of varying faiths in working together while recognizing the right to be different appears to be a most valuable first-hand experience in democratic living. These student leaders are encouraged to take the greatest possible initiative in the planning and implement ing of policies and programs. This is regarded as vitally important in the preparation for responsible citizenship after they leave the University. (More) - 3 - The University, of course, places no pressure on tho students to compel religious participation. It dOGs, however, avoid the accusation some times leveled at state universities that it is indifferent or hostile to the cultivation of sound churchnanship. The University administration supplies Religious Census Cards which are filled out voluntarily by the students and distributed through the coordinator's office to the proper religious organizations. During the past year steps have been taken to relate the activities of religious foundation directors more closely to the University's Counseling Bureau. Joint seninars have been held, and the religious workers have had opportunity to develop their skills in counseling and to put these skills to use in aiding students who are in need of religious guidance. Great stress is laid upon the value of these student religious organizations in assisting students to find friends and becone introduced to the University community of 27,000 individuals. While no departnent or school of religion as such exists at the University of Minnesota, courses are offered in the departments of philosophy, sociology, the humanities and elsewhere which give objective information in the field of religion, and the Univorsity catalog lists a soquence of courses appropriate for students planning to enter graduate theological schools. The above program demonstrates that oducation sponsored by public agencies can find methods of proper encouragement for wholesome student religious growth instead of ignoring the matter and giving the impression that a person nay be properly educated while his religious understanding is atrophied. 111I # UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA NE\vS SERVICE JUNE 11, 1948 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Minneapolis, June - Changes in admission policies for the University of Minnesota nursery school, kindergarten and elementary school were announced Thursday (June 17) by Dr. Elizabeth M. Fuller, principal of the three divisions. Increased demands, changed population trends, projected research plans, needs in teacher training programs and an attempt to unify admission policies at all levels in the school necessitated the changes which will be effective July 1, when students for the fall quarter are selected, Dr. Fuller said. In general, the new policies are that applicants for full day attendance will take precedence over those for half-day attendance, children already in attendance will be continued on enrolment lists through the sixth grade, children will be selected in the order of application dates, but attention will be given to proposed length of enrollment, and children applying for short periods will be admitted only when needed to fill the enrolment quota. Dr. Fuller explained that in order to keep the size of the age groups constant, children are chosen from the waiting list on an age basis rather than from the waiting list as a whole, and an equal number of boys and girls are chosen for each group. (More) .. - 2 - Limiting factors in the new policy are: no child will be admitted who has not been vaccinated against smallpox and immunized against diphtheria, who has a marked mental or physical handicap requiring special care, serious food allergies requiring special attention, a behavior problem constituting a hazard to other children or requiring extra supervision, or who has any kind of handicap requiring change of regular schedule. Dr. Fuller explained that'the primary functions of the campus school are research, parental and pre-parental education, demonstration, teacher training and experimentation in the education of typical children. "In carrying out research projects in progress and proposed research projects for the future, short term enrollments cannot be defended and research projects also require that some effort be exerted to admit children representing as nearly as possible a cross section sample of the population,1I said Dr. Fuller. She added, lilt is hoped that these policies and will permit the school will equalize opportunities for all groups to attend the schoo+/to fulfill its functions more smoothly and productively." Fall quarter will be the first time a second grade has been offered. A first grade was established last fall, and the plan is to add one grade each year in the elementary school until six grades have been established, Dr. Fuller explained. This means that a child, providing he meets the admission requirements, can enter the University nursery school at the age of two and continue through elementary school, University high school and college. 11 /1 # rI I UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA NEWS SERVICE JUNE 17, 1948 FOR ll-1MEDIATE RELEASE Gunnar Knudsen, Norwegian violinist and conductor, will be the featured soloist at the University of Minnesota summer session orchestra's first concert Friday (June 18) at 8:15 p.m. in Northrop Memorial auditorium, Knudsen, accompanied b,y Laura Forde Giere, will play the Overture to Egmont, Opus 84, by Beethoven, Romance by Sinding, Nigun (Improvisation) by Bloch, Symphony No.8 in F Major, Opus 93, by Beethoven and Brahm's Violin Concerto in D Major.

The book is the result of a survey conducted in 1940-42 by the Employment Stabilization Research institute at the University of Minnesota of the labor market problem in St. Paul, Minn. According to Dr. Herbert G. Heneman, Jr., editorial coordinator of the book, the st. Paul study is the only large-scale labor market research which has been done during the war period. Faced with high level relief expenditures during a time of increasing employment and concerned about other similar problems, a special committee on unemployment appointed by the mayor of st. Paul, asked the assistance in 1940 of the University's Employment Stabilization institute in analyzing local labor market conditions. Under the co-direction of Dr. Dale Yoder, now director of the University's Industrial Relations center, and Donald G. Paterson, professor of psychology, the requested study was undertaken. Funds provided by the Rockefeller foundation permitted a pilot study in 1940-41 and a more detailed analysis in 1941-42. (More) I -2- The research was carried on Qy a staff of some 40 persons including social scientists from various fields: psychology, economics, sociology and business administration. Before the final report of the study could be completed, the war and conclusion of foundation sup~ort dissolved the research staff. During the war period, data from the st. Paul study was applied to the nation's labor market problems particularly in working out priorities on employment and estimates of potential war workers. Formed in 1945, the University's Industrial Relations center undertook, as one of its first projects, the compilation of a complete report on the st. Paul study. Through this project, "Local Labor Market Research" was published. "Because St. Paul is typical in many salient respects," Dr. Heneman pointed out, "the discussion in this book of how the labor market problems were met and solved there is extrcnoly pertinent to other labor markets." # # # U}TIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA NEWS SERVICE JUNE 21, 1948 FOR ll1t1EDIATE RELEASE Samuel Marti, Mexican violinist, and Gunhild Nilsson, American pianist, will present a Latin-American concert at the University of Minnesota l~ednesday (June 23) at 8:15 p.m. in the Minnesota Museum of Natural History auditorium.
