CHARLES DARWINBorn February 12, 1809The University of ChicagoMagazineVOLUME I MARCH, 1909 NUMBER 5THE WORLD'S DEBT TO DARWIN. rBY EDWIN GRANT CONKLIN, PH.D.Head of the Department of Zoology in Princeton UniversityFOR centuries science has been engaged in glorifying the com­monplace, in showing that natural phenomena are due to naturalcauses, and that the most stupendous as well as the most subtlephenomena, removed from us perhaps by almost an eternity oftime and space, are but manifestations of continuous natural pro­cesses, which we may see and study for ourselves in the commonphenomena of our daily lives. At every step in this progressscience has had to contend with intrenched supernaturalism ; in thebeginning every happening, even the most trivial, was ascribed tosome supernatural cause; to our ancestors it was self-evident thatextraordinary occurrences required extraordinary causes, and thatnatural causes were wholly inadequate to accomplish great results.But step by step before advancing knowledge of .nature, super­naturalism retired from the plain of ordinary phenomena until shedwelt only on the misty mountain tops of origins, beginnings, crea­tions; and day by day there was a growing respect for nature andher powers. Finally even the mountain fastnesses were stormedand taken, and at last in the natural world we recognize that naturalcauses reign supreme.In this warfare of science with tradition there have been crises,turning points, no less important for mankind than any which areassociated with the rise and fall of nations; such a crisis wasreached when astronomy was emancipated from the thralldom of1 Delivered in the Leon Mandel Assembly Hall on February I, 1909, as thefirst in a series of Darwin Anniversary addresses.I8S186 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEsupernaturalism by Galileo, and Newton, and Laplace; whengeology was freed by Hutton and Lyell from the absurd cata­clysmal theory, which virtually taught that age after age the Creator,experimenting at world-building, found the results not good, and sowiped them out and began again; but probably no similar crisis hashad so profound an effect upon mankind as that revolution in ournotions of the genesis of the living world which we associate pre­eminently with the name of Charles Darwin.Without doubt the greatest scientific generalization of thepast century is the theory of organic evolution. The only otherwhich can be compared with it, the doctrine of the conservation ofenergy, has not so profoundly influenced human life nor so greatlychanged all the currents of human thought. Evolution has not onlytransformed biology, psychology, sociology, anthropology, andgeology, but it has given a new point of view to all science, art,and even religion. "The great theory of evolution," said JohnFiske, "is rapidy causing us to modify our opinions on all subjectswhatsoever."Though many forerunners of this theory may be found in formercenturies, its establishment upon a scientific basis belongs to thenineteenth century. How general the feeling is that evolution isthe greatest scientific principle of modern times, and how univer­sally its establishment is identified with a single man and a singlebook, is shown by a remarkable symposium which appeared in oneof our magazines a few years ago (Outlook, December 1, 1900).Ten men, selected for their eminence in literature and education,were asked to give their opinions as to the most influential booksof the nineteenth century. No one of these men was by training orprofession a biologist; with the exception of one psychologist, noone of them was especially identified with any natural science, andyet the only book of the century upon which all ten agreed wasDarwin's Origin of Species.The doctrine of descent is so wholly in accord with the facts ofbiology and indeed of all sciences; it is so reasonable and simple,that one can scarcely believe that it had few adherents until afterthe middle of the last century. Yet the evolutionary speculations ofthe Naiurphilosophen, and even the more scientific hypotheses ofBuffon, Lamarck, and St. Hilaire in the first quarter 'Of the centuryproduced on the whole an unfavorable impression upon naturalists,and up to the year 1859 the problem of the origin of species, theirTHE WORLD'S DEBT TO DARWINrelationships to one another, their geographical and geological dis­tribution, was regarded as the "mystery of mysteries," perhapsonly solvable by the miracle of special and supernatural creation.Darwin wrote in his autobiography:It has sometimes been said that the success of the Origin proved "thatthe subject was in the air," or "that men's minds were prepared for it." Ido not think that this is strictly true, for I occasionally sounded not a fewnaturalists, and never happened to come across a single one who seemedto doubt about the permanence of species.In 1844 he wrote to Hooker:I have been now, ever since my return (from the voyage round theworld), engaged in a very presumptuous work, and I know not one indi­vidual who would not say a very foolish one. I was so struck with thedistribution of the Galapagos organisms, etc., and with the character of theAmerican mammifers, etc., that I determined to collect blindly everysort of fact which could bear in any way .on what are called species. Ihave read heaps of agricultural and horticultural books and have neverceased collecting facts. At last gleams of light have come, and I amalmost convinced (quite contrary to the opinion I started with) thatspecies are not (it is like confessing a murder) immutable. Heaven for­fend me from Lamarck's nonsense of a "tendency to progression," "adapta­tion through the slqw willing of animals," etc.! But the conclusions I amled to are not widely different from his, though the means of change arewholly so. I think I have found out (here's presumption) the simpleway in which species become exquisitely adapted to various ends. You willnow groan and think to yourself, "on what a man I have been wasting mytime and writing to." I should five years ago have thought so.This single extract reveals the general opinions of naturalists onthe subject of species before the publication of Darwin's work. Weshould never forget that in spite of all the theories and specula­tions on evolution which preceded Darwin it was still commonlybelieved before 1859 that species had arisen by supernatural crea­tion, that the question of their origin was not therefore a scientificproblem, but that it was the one great exception to. the reign ofnatural causes in the natural world. It detracts nothing from Dar­win's pre-eminent services to say that he was not the first to pro­pose the doctrine of the evolution of species. What is much moreimportant is that he was the first to establish it; he brought a deadspeculation to life and gave it scientific standing, so that it is nowaccepted by practically everybody, and in all justice the credit ofthis greatest intellectual achievement of the past century belongs188 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEto him. The world-wide difference between Darwin and his prede­cessors lay in the simple but all important matter of evidence.They had proposed more or less possible and more or less reason­able hypotheses, but these failed of general acceptance for lackof evidence. Darwin brought to bear on the problem his greatpower and range of 'Observation; he collected in his books such vaststores of facts bearing on this problem, that they are today thewonder and admiration of scholars; in masterly manner heco-ordinated the scattered and diverse evidence drawn from botany,zoology, morphology, physiology, embryology, ecology, paleon­tology, geology, agriculture, and animal-breeding; and he presentedthe evidence with such force of logic, such clearness of exposition,such judicial candor, that he finally and forever overthrew thedogma of immutability of species and their special creation, andestablished in its place the doctrine of evolution.The effect and influence of this work can scarcely be overesti­mated. Once Darwin had rendered acceptable t'0 naturalists thedoctrine of organic descent with modifications, it was found thatit gave new meaning to' the whole science of biology. Like a magicformula it solved the age-long problems of classification, affinity,good and bad species, aberrant and synthetic types; by it the mys­teries of geographical and geological distribution were explained ;by its guidance the records of the ancient world, as preserved inthe rocks, were deciphered and correlated, and missing links betweenmany great groups of organisms found; in its light the history ofthe development of the individual from the egg acquired newsignificance. Physiology and psychology, no less than morphology,have felt its transforming touch, and not least among its resultshave been its revelations as to the nature, origin, and relationshipsof man.These stupendous results do not represent merely the frenzy ofa new enthusiasm. There have been, of course, assertions- whichoutran evidence, and skepticism which denied all evidence, but inspite of these excesses every year since 1859 has contributed inever increasing measure to the more complete establishment of thedoctrine of descent and to the wider extension of this theory intoevery field of human thought and endeavor,The world's greatest debt to Darwin is for the work which hedid in establishing the theory of organic evolution, and this yearmarks not 'Only the centenary of the birth of Darwin, but also theTHE WORLD'S DEBT TO DARWINsemi-centennial of the publication of his greatest book, The Originof Species, which did more to establish that theory than any otherbook ever published. But it shoud not be forgotten that the worldis indebted to him for much besides this. Darwin was one of thelast of the great naturalists, men, who, like Humboldt, knew naturefrom sands to stars. He was a most painstaking and accurateobserver and experimenter and he contributed largely to' knowledgein several branches of science. He was a geologist of note and hisworks on volcanic islands and on the origin of coral islands alonewould have given him a high place among geologists. He wasa distinguished botanist and his studies en the fertilization oforchids, cross and self-fertilization in the vegetable kingdom,insectivorous plants, climbing plants and the power of movementin plants, laid broad and deep the foundations for the study ofphysiological processes. He was a great zoologist, as his volumeson the zoology of the expedition of the "Beagle," on recent and fossilCirrepedia, on the activities of earthworms, and on the Variations ofAnimals and Plants, testify. His work on The Descent of Manshows the value of his contributions to the science of anthropology,and I have been told by psychologists that his volume on the Expres­sion of the Emotions is one of the best and most fundamental ofall works on this subject. Altogether he published twenty-twobooks (thirty-three, counting second and subsequent editions) andeighty-two papers and contributions. These statements indicatehow broad was his mind, and how much of fact he contributed toscience.But isolated observations, as none knew better than Darwin, areof relatively slight importance. His mind was pre-eminently onewhich generalized, which took multitudes of isolated facts andbuilt them into a system. His principal generalizations, apart 'fromorganic evolution itself, are (I) the theory of the formation ofcoral islands, (2) the theory of natural selections, (3) the theoryof sexual selection, (4) the provisional hypothesis of pangenesis.Of the first of these I shall not speak at all, except to say thatafter long and vigorous controversy between the supporters andopponents of Darwin's theory that barrier reefs and atolls wereformed by subsidence of oceanic islands, it appears that this theoryhas been completely confirmed by recent borings through the atollof Funafuti in the South Pacific.The other generalizations, viz., natural selection, sexual selec-I90 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEtion, and pangenesis are attempted explanations of the factors orcauses of evolution. In the Origin Darwin did not always clearlydistinguish between the evidences for evolution itself and the evi­dence for one or another of these factors. Indeed, more than halfof the volume is devoted to the evidence of the truth of evolution;but it is literally true that each Dr all of these fact�rs might beproven to have no basis in fact without in any way seriouslyaffecting the evidence for the truth of evolution itself. Indeed, thesufficiency, if not the actual existence, of each of these factors hasbeen seriously questioned by many scientists, and it is probable thatno one of them can be held in exactly the form in which it wasfirst proposed.Undoubtedly Darwin's most distinctive and important contribu­tion to organic evolution is his theory of natural selection, or whathas been generously but unfortunately named "Darwinism."Although this was the chief corner stone in Darwin's evolutionaryphilosophy, it was not the only stone in that structure, as is thecase with some of his followers. Darwin was broader than "Dar­winism;" he recognized more than this one factor of evolution,though he always believed natural selection to be the chiefone. I need not repeat here how Darwin was led to' adopt thistheory; how he found that selection on the part of the breeder wasthe factor which determined the course of transformation in domes­tic animals and plants; how, in his search for a similar factor innature, the essay of Malthus on population suggested to. him theelimination of the unfit and the preservation of favored races in thestruggle for life; how for twenty years he had been developing thisidea, when he received from Wallace, then in the Malay Archipel­ago, an essay on the same subject, and how this essay and Dar­win's sketch of his theory were presented simultaneously to theLinnrean Society on July I, 18s8-all this is now familiar history.It may not be so well known that at the semi-centennial of the publi­cation of these essays, held last July, Wallace, who was present,said that he had been given much more than his due in being calledthe codiscoverer with Darwin of natural selection, and that hisshare in the discovery should be proportional to the length of timewhich each had devoted to the subject, i. 'e., about as one week totwenty years.Probably no scientific theory has been so widely and so fullydiscussed as has natural selection. On the one hand were thoseTHE WORLD'S DEBT TO DARWINwho, like Wallace and Weismann, maintained that it was the onlyand the all-sufficient factor of organic evolution; on the 'Other handwere many who either denied that it was any factor at all, or whoascribed to it only a minor role. It was the ill 'fortune of the theoryto have aroused profound theological opposition, which gave to thediscussion an intense controversial aspect and which prevented acalm and unprejudiced judgment of the theory itself. Further­more the character of the theory itself invited discussion. It wasbased upon principles so general and familiar that everyone feltfree and competent to discuss it, and as it was difficult to subjectit to demonstrative proof it freed biologists as well as laymen fromsuch uncomfortable restraints, and left much room for mere infer­ence and speculation.Scientific principles are not established by dialectics, andwhile this whole discussion has been immensely educative, itis doubtful whether its scientific results have been commensu­rate with the time and effort it has consumed. It is probablethat the intense antagonism to the theory, chiefly Q1n the part ofmen who were not scientists, led to the exaggeration of the evi­dence for it and the minimizing of the difficulties to be explained,Certain it is that there has been much dogmatism on the subject,an overconfidence in certain hypotheses, and a general lack ofscientific caution, which has led biology astray in some instancesand has caused persons who are not biologists to accept insecurehypotheses as foundations for more elaborate speculations; this isespecially true in the fields of sociology and psychology. Dogma­tism always begets skepticism, and we need not be surprised to findthat in recent times a few biologists have totally rejected naturalselection as a factor of evolution. But I think we may be surprisedat the intensity of the feeling and the wholly intemperate attacks ofsome of the younger biologists upon this factor, and especially isthis true in view of the fact that Darwin himself always avoidedcontroversy and was one of the kindest and gentlest of men.Unfortunately the lack of judicial calm is quite as noticeable inthese later attacks as in the earler and less scientific ones. "Naturalselection," said a distinguished physiologist not long ago, "is thetheory that those who cannot live die." "Darwinism belongs tothe past," says Dennert; "we are standing at its death-bed, and itsfriends are preparing to give it a decent burial." Driesch also, withmore scientific authority, but with no less spleen says, "Darwinism192 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEnow belongs to history; like that other curiosity of our century,the Hegelian philosophy; both are variations on the theme; howone manages to, lead a whole generation by the nose." He calls ita new kind of religion, which would have done honor to Moham­med, and speaks of the softening of the brain of Darwinians. It isdifficult to excuse such violence of language on the part of a sci­entist, and I can suggest no charitable explanation of it. However,when Driesch addressed an English-speaking audience at Aber­deen, a year ago, _ he was much more dignified and conciliatory andsaid, "Certainly natural selection is a vera causa;" but he arguesthat it is a negative, an eliminating factor and not a creative one.It is surprising how persistent is the misunderstanding ofnatural selection, which is implied in this statement. The term"natural selection" was chosen, as Darwin says, because of its sup­posed resemblance to artificial selection, but it was so frequently mis­understood that he would have liked, if possible, to change it to"natural elimination," but he fondly hoped that in time everyonewould come to understand it. Over and over again he recognizedthat natural selection was a negative, an eliminating factor. Henever held, and I dare say he never supposed that anyone elsewould hold, that it was anything else than a sieve, as DeVriesputs it, to sort out favorable from unfavorable variations.THE UNIVERSITY OFTHE NUBIAN CHICAGONILE ONBY JAMES HENRY BREASTEDDirector 9£ the Egyptian ExpeditionTHE progress of historical study in modern times has involvednot only a shifting of our attention from the secondary tothe primary sources, but also the preservation of such sources andtheir proper publication wherever possible. Perhaps the most not­able achievement in this latter direction is the great corpus of theLatin inscriptions produced by Mommsen. In modern history manysimilar enterprises are being conducted by numerous editors orhistorical associations. Where such documentary sources, however,are almost exclusively monumental, as in the case of Mommsen'scorpus, the necessity of pushing behind old and inaccurate publica­tions, to find the original monument which may be in some museumof Europe or still in situ in some far-distant land of antiquity,greatly increases the difficulty. The work of the University of Chi­cago Expedition in Nubia was simply an attempt to gather and re­cord all the monumental documents still surviving along the NubianNile, in mechanical facsimiles and accurate copies which should bethe means of preserving these documents for all time. Whetherthey should then be published or not, was a secondary question.Perishing as these records now are by exposure to weather andnative vandalism, the crying necessity was first to bring back com­plete reproductions and thus to save them from destruction. Thiswas the ideal to be pursued. The practical methods for attaining itwere such as demanded far more than the routine work of thescholar in his study ever contemplates. It meant long desertmarches, elaborate material equipment for the sustenance of lifeand the maintenance of health in the wilds of the Sudan. It meantcomplex photographic equipment, including a portable dark roomand its furniture, capable of enduring the extreme heat of the tropicsand nevertheless carrying on all the processes of artificially illumi­nating, exposing, developing, and printing large photographs onthe spot; it meant a surveying outfit and an elaborate draughts­man's equipment with ladders and scaffolding, and all the necessaryfurniture for producing facsimile copies of lofty monuments underI93I94 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEa tropical sun. It meant also long preliminary correspondence withthe government 'Of the Sudan, and extended acquaintance with localnative officials, and arrangement through them for the long andslow progress through the country in pursuit of the objects justdefined.Strategically considered, the Nubian Nile is the road into theSudan. With its thousand miles of cataracts it has been a historicallink, uniting inner Africa with the ancient civilizations of the Medi­terranean region. In spite of the difficult cataracts, it has been forover five thousand years the commercial highway along which thegold and ivory, the ebony, panther skins, and ostrich feathers of theSudan passed northward to the Mediterranean. From 3,000 B. c.on, it was the path of the Pharaohs as they pushed up the Nile in theprocess of absorbing the cataract region. It was thus also theartery along which pulsed the influence of Egyptian civilizationwhich penetrated as far south as the Fourth Cataract. By the six­teenth century before Christ the northern cataract region was anEgyptian province under a viceroy. Great temples of the Pharaohssprang up on the banks of the river. Orderly towns administeredas in Egypt became active centers of traffic. The country rapidlytook on a veneer of Egyptian civilization, although it retained itsancient Nubian language, the language still spoken in those regionsto this day. Few travelers who visit the great dam above modernAswan realize that at this point the modern Arabic of Egypt ab­ruptly ceases and the language 'Of ancient and modern Nubia begins.By the middle of the eighth century before Christ the decline ofthe Pharaohs was such that Nubia established itself as an independ­ent kingdom, and even for a brief period absorbed Egypt and ruledthe land of its ancient suzerain. These are the Ethiopian Pharaohsagainst whom the prophet Isaiah thundered in the streets of J eru­salem. They had their capital at Napata. Driven from the Deltaby the. invading Assyrians, the N ubians fin all y retired to this capital,and later even farther south to their final residence at Meroe, whichbecame the seat of the remote and mysterious kingdom of Ethiopiaas known to the Persians, Greeks, and Romans. Cambyses' expedi­tion thither met with disaster, but the Roman Petronius penetratedto N apata and destroyed the city to chastise 'One of the Candaces,then queen of Ethiopia. Throughout the classic world the conclu­sion gained currency that Ethiopia was the original seat of Nilevalley civilization-a conclusion which survived until two genera-SOUTHERN COLOSSUS OF RAMSES II ON THE FRONT OF THE ABU SIMBEL TEMPLE, LOWER NUBIAFour of these colossi, two on each side of the door, rise before this cliff-temple. They are seventy-five feet high, and wereexecuted in the 13th century B. c.196 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEtions ago. As a matter of fact the Egyptian veneer slowly wore offas the kingdom of the upper Nile was more and more isolated fromthe civilization of the north, and it was thus thrown back upon thebarbarism of inner Africa. For some centuries after separationfrom Egypt its people continued to use Egyptian writing andlanguage in state documents and on monuments. It then developeda system of writing of its own, in which on the spread of Christianitythither.. there finally grew up a Christian literature.We spent our first season among the numerous temples betweenthe First and the Second Cataracts, completing before the end of thecampaign an exhaustive record of all the temples in the region,except the Ptolemaic sanctuaries immediately above the Aswan dam,These last monuments are now being recorded by the Royal Acad­emy of Berlin, using our methods, and also our epigraphic andother equipment, purchased for the purpose from the Chicago Ex­pedition at the conclusion of our work in Nubia.After the first season we attacked the region in and above theSecond Cataract, beginning at the southernmost limit of monumentson the Nile, and making exhaustive records of them all as wepassed northward down the river, until we reached the limit of thefirst year's work. This southern survey included about a thousandmiles of Nile valley, and involved a much more arduous campaign.The monuments of the extreme south were accessible by means ofKitchener's military railway, and were therefore soon disposed of.A month among the temples and palaces of the later Ethiopian king­dom, especially at the ruins of Meroe, enabled the expedition tocomplete its records of the southern monuments of the kingdom ofthe Candaces, those queens 'Of whom one is mentioned in the NewTestament.The difficult passage of the one hundred and forty miles ofrapids making up the Fourth Cataract was then attempted, in anenclea V0'r' tOo find the landmarks defining the southern boundary ofthe Pharaoh's empire in the Sudan. In an open boat, with but a fewdays' provisions, replenishing as necessary from a caravan marchingparallel with us, we ran the fierce and dangerous rapids of thislittle-known region, camping by night on a sandspit 'Or a point ofrock without tents, sleeping under the stars. Around us were thefierce tribesmen of the Monasir. We had long since left the line ofKitchener's railroad, as we entered a vast bend of the river, curv­ing southwestward and then northward in a sweep of six hundredLOOKI:-IG THROUGH THE PALMS OF BARKAL VILLAGE AT THE PYRAMIDS AND RUINS 01' A:-ICIEN r NAPATA (llIBLlCAL NOPH),THE CAPITAL OF NUBIA FROM THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY B.

Here at the foot of the Fourth Cataract lived and ruled the Ethiopiansovereigns of Egypt (the enemies of Sennacherib) against whom Isaiah declaimed at Jerusalem. From here in Homeric days went forth the Greek tradition ofEthiopia's wealth, power, and civilization, from which the Greeks believed that of Egypt came.198 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEmiles, a bend which had been cut off by the British in the construe­tion of their road. In the wilderness 'Of the cataract we came upona melancholy memorial of the modern history of the ·country-thefragmentary remains of Colonel Stewart's boat, in which, duringthe siege of Khartum, Gordon had sent him northward with dis­patches for Europe. His boat was smashed upon the rocks, and onlanding he and his party were butchered by the Monasir. One ofthis tribe guided us to the scanty wreck with great unconcern. Heand his kinsmen showed no inclination to adopt similar tactics withus.The passage of the cataract consumed eight days, and broughtus to the ruins of Napata, the more ancient 'Of the two later Nubiancapitals. Here the names of Old Testament Pharaohs greeted us,and the extent of the monuments required a stay of a month tocomplete a full record.At this point we were able to establish our living arrangementsin two gyassas, native cargo boats rigged with two masts andenormous shoulder-of-mutton sails. In these with greater comfortthan we had known before we sailed around the huge six-hundredmile bend to the head of the Second Cataract region. This involvedrunning the rapids of the Third Cataract with these large boats. Atthe head of the Third Cataract we met the records which for thefirst time determined the course and the character of the originalEgyptian conquest of the country, and 'we could discern in the monu­ments there erected by him, the proud elation of Thutmose I, when,entering through the Third Cataract as a gate, he surveyed thesplendid region of the Dongola Province, the garden of the UpperNile, the only province in the Sudan which is today a source ofrevenue to the government, and not a charge upon the Egyptian state.We descended the upper rapids of the Third Cataract in the largeboats without serious accident, although a number of mishaps delayedus. In running the Kagbar Rapid, however, the last rapid of theThird Cataract, we crashed upon a rock, smashing a large hole inthe bow of ourJarger-gyassa. The boat immediately filled to' thedeck,. flooding our hundre� boxes of provisions and photographicsupplies, and drifting in tliufierce current, a hopeless wreck. Afortunate sandbar saved the boat.from capsizing, and we were ableto run lines from the mastheads to' neighboring palms. On drawingthe lines tight with tackle blocks, the boat was prevented from cap­sizing-into deep water.

The raising and therepair of thee boat formed a slow and difficult task, but when wefinally set off northward, we shortly arrived at the Temple of Sesebi,little anticipating the welcome disclosure which awaited us there.Going inland to the temple, its columns rose on the solitary marginof the desert, dimly discernible through the gray of a howling sand­storm. I shall never forget the half hour of preliminary examina­tion which followed. Whenever a lull in the biting sand showerpermitted, it was possible after much preliminary study to discernolder reliefs cut into the surface of the columns before those ofSeti I, whose records at the place had been reported to Europe sixtyyears before by the great Prussian, Lepsius. But what were theseearlier records over which those of Seti I had later been cut? Thetantalizing sandstorm made the study slow and painful, but it wasat last evident that they were no other than the records and thereliefs of .Ikhnaton (Amenhotep IV, fourteenth century B. c.), thegreat religious revolutionary, the first monotheist in history. Somesix years before, I had chanced to find on a monument at Thebesthe evidence that this king had founded a religious and politicalcapital called Gem-Aton, in distant Nubia, parallel with his similarreligious capital in Tell el-Arnarna in Egypt; but this Nubian capital,Gem-Aton, had been lost for thousands of years. I had frequentlywondered whether the Nubian city would ever be discovered, andwhen planning the expedition to Nubia, I often found the questionrising, "What if we should find Gem-Aton?" When, therefore, witheyes and ears, with lips and nostrils cumbered with sand, I waspainfully following the obscure outlines of these earlier reliefs atSesebi, dimly glimmering through the later figures of Seti 1's rec­ords; and there suddenly emerged the fragmentary but unmistakablecontour of Ikhnaton's face, it required but little further examinationto show that I was standing in his Nubian capital of Gem-Aton.The sudden consciousness of standing thus within the weatheredruins of the earliest sanctuary of monotheism now surviving, lent theplace and the moment an impressiveness never to be forgotten.The rapidly falling waters of the river prevented our attemptinganything more than the excavation of the city gate. The walls ofthe city in which the temple stood were of sun-dried brick, and abouttwenty-four to twenty-five feet thick. They inclosed a dense mass'THE UNIVERSITY ON THE NUBIAN NIL� 201of houses, the walls of which are still discernible beneath the rubbish;but the falling waters of the river admonished us, and after makinga complete record of the inscriptions we were obliged to leave theexcavation of the city to some other explorer, who may penetrateinto this distant and inaccessible region. But we had not left thetemple far behind when we were stopped by a gale which quickenedinto a furious tempest of driving sand, and enveloped us in dismaltwilight. Even in the cabin the sand fell on one's papers in appre­ciable thickness, like snow, within an hour. In two hours everythingin our cabin was deluged as if by ashes from Vesuvius. Therewas a pungent odor of dust in the air, it grated between one's teeth,one's ears were full, one's eyebrows and lashes were laden like thedusty miller, it sifted into all boxes and cupboards, photographs andpapers, till each leaf was separated from the next by a layer ofgrit, and it settled on the chemical trays in the dark-room in suchquantities that it destroyed disquieting amounts of our precioussupplies and sadly injured the plates. Our great desire was toreach the temple of Soleb thirty miles away, but even had we beenable tc secure camels, it would have been impossible to travel insuch a gale. By the twenty-sixth of January the wind had beenblowing for sixteen days with but one day's moderation, and foreleven days it had raged night and day without a moment's cessation.Reaching the splendid Temple of Soleb after long delay itbrought us a number of new and important records, but the greatdifficulty was, that the inability to transport our highest ladders hadforced us to leave them at the foot of the Second Cataract, wherewe expected to pick them up on our return. I succeeded, however,in renting the roof of a native's house for a fortnight, and withthe palm trunks on which this roof was supported, we were ableto build a shifting scaffolding which lifted ourselves and our greatcamera to the level of the highest records in the temple.A fortnight later we abandoned the comfortable boats-comfort­able, comparatively speaking-and shifted our entire outfit to acaravan of thirty-three camels. For some weeks we wanderedslowly northward through the wild and desolate wadis of the Sec­ond Cataract region, stopping from time to time wherever themonuments demanded. Numerous memorials of Egypt's southernadvance and slow absorption of the cataract region greeted us aswe passed. Now it was but the casual record of a military scribe,as he kept tally of the provision galleys of the invading column as202 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEthey were drawn painfully up the... raging channels of the cataract;again, it was a stately fortress where the advancing landmarks ofthe Pharaoh's' southern frontier had halted for a century or two.As the spring heat drew on, we approached the southern limit ofthe first year's campaign, and our long caravan, straggling over thedesert, entered the outskirts of Wadi HaIfa, bearing in our numerousboxes all the known documents surviving in ancient Nubia, andcompleting our record of the monuments of a thousand miles ofNile Valley.THE RELATION OF THE DOCTORATETO TEACHINGI bBY STARR WILLARD CUTTINGHead of the Department of Germanic Languages and LiteraturesIs there need of restricting the number 0,£ students, encouraged toproceed to the doctorate, beyond the measure of the past andpresent practice of the University of Chicago?An argument frequently urged for such restriction is the allegednon-productivity of many of our Doctors after graduation. Butstatistics show that rather more than 50 per cent. of all 'Our Doctorsof three years standing have continued to publish the results oftheir research since graduation. When, therefore, we recall theserious difficulties for the would-be investigator, presented by mostcollege and secondary school positions, and the further fact that,outside the fields of chemistry and geology, nineteen-twentieths ofall our Doctors look to teaching as a practical career, the failureof many Doctors to continue their work as investigators after leav­ing the University seems to be no conclusive argument against ourpresent practice.We are reminded further that many of our Doctors fail to meetsatisfactorily the exacting demands of their own lecture-rooms andclassrooms. Many of our graduates, whose work in the field ofspecial research is excellent, prove to be poor teachers, clumsy inthe presentation of their subj ect, and quite unable either to arousethe interest of their students or to correlate their own efforts withthose of their faculty colleagues. It has been urged in the light ofthis that the course leading to the doctorate should be so rnodified-s­by the inclusion either of suitable courses in pedagogy or of actualpractice in teaching under competent criticism-as to enable theuniversity to recommend each of its Doctors, not only as a promisingscholar, but as a good teacher.But this line of reasoning assumes, first, that the present tendencyof schools and colleges to regard the training for the doctorate as1 This contribution continues the discussion of the topic which was con­sidered in the December and January issues of the Magazine by Dr. Otis W.Caldwell and Dr. Julian P.

The three articles are in response to aquestionnaire on the subject sent out by the Association of Doctors of Philosophy.203204 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEan ideal preparation for the work of teaching is logically sound andlikely to continue indefinitely, and, second, that research should beregarded rather in the light of a valuable preparation of the futureteacher than as the chief business of a scholar. Yet it is by nomeans certain that the first of these assumptions is true, and thesignal success -of those investigators whose work is entirely freefrom obligation to the profession of teaching is the best possibleproof that the second of these assumptions is worthless.By their attitude toward the degree of Master of Arts Americancolleges and universities have done much to reduce the esteem inwhich this degree was formerly held. By the force of Englishtradition and American practice this degree was long regarded asthe academic stamp of a course giving an ideal preparation for thecareer of a teacher. But it has been assigned latterly here inAmerica such a secondary place in the range of academic honorsas to be unattractive to those students who are at once capable andambitious. The degree is still conferred by many smaller collegesupon all those graduates who lead a reputable life for a few yearsafter graduation. This meaningless use of the degree and the factthat the title A.M. is frequently conferred as a distinction uponthose who never received the baccalaureate or who never evenattended a college at all, have sadly cheapened the degree in theeyes of the general public. No institution in the whole countryconfers the degree of A.M. solely in recognition of work, compa­rable either in quantity or quality to that demanded as a preparationfor the doctorate. The nondescript character of the Master's degreeand its neglect by the best institutions of the country in favor ofthe doctorate are, in my opinion, chiefly responsible for the foolishconviction of schools and colleges that the doctorate is the sole aca­demic guarantee of efficiency as a teacher. The American univer­sity is not entirely excusable, either, for having made such strenu­ous efforts to secure for its Doctors positions as teachers, withoutdue regard for their capacity in this important particular.What the school and college need and what they want is the manwith natural aptitude for teaching, whose whole professional train­ing has been wisely shaped to raise his natural aptitude to thepoint of greatest possible efficiency. They have been latterlyencouraged by the university to recognize this man in the Doctorof Philosophy. The result has been a long series of misfits and dis­appointments; but to infer from this that the university only needsRELATION OF DOCTORATE TO TEACHING 205to add to the preparation for the doctorate certain ingredients,hitherto lacking, is, it seems to me, to exhibit blindness to the reiationof cause and effect. For the relatively few men with real aptitudefor research can never meet the numerical demand for good teach­ers in the schools and colleges of the country, even if they continueto be foolishly recommended for such service. An inevitable resultof attempting thus to meet this practical demand would be theencouragement of many students, giving no promise of success asinvestigators, to elect a course supposed to lead to. the coveted degreewhich they could never honestly obtain. The rising tide of schooland college demand threatens, in other words, to convert our certifi­cate of proficiency in research into a certificate of educationalproficiency.Recognizing that the highest ability as an investigator is oftencoupled with the most utter lack of ability as a teacher and thatmany men, endowed with but moderate ability as investigators, areexceptionally successful as teachers, the proper modification of ourpresent practice seems to me clear. We need a thorough course forteachers, so ordered in point of length and discipline as to warranta degree comparable in dignity to the doctorate of philosophy andentitling the holder to the confidence of the school and college public,as an able scholar and a promising teacher. It is conceivable thatthe old degree of A.M. might become significant and desirable,when conferred only for the completion of such a course. But thename of the degree is relatively unimportant. The course itself is, Ibelieve, of the greatest importance as a protection to the researchsignificance of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and as the naturaland safe method of meeting a vital need of higher education inAmerica.THE WRECK OF THE "AEON"BY BOWER REYNOLDS PATRICK, 1?B., '97Chaplain at the United States Naval Station, Tutuila, SamoaWHEN we sailed past the big American fleet of battleships inSan Francisco Bay and out through the Golden Gate onJuly 6 we little dreamed that our experiences would be unusualand thrilling. For twelve days we sailed over beautiful seas. Oneday my older boy looked over the side, peered into the depths ofthe water, and said, "Daddy, see all that ink." On July 18 we werein the southeast trades, which were blowing very hard. That after­noon I asked our captain at what time we would pass ChristmasIsland, and he replied that we would have the island about twenty­five to thirty miles abeam at 9 o'clock in the evening. At 9 :34 theship was hard aground on the coral sand and rocks of the northerlyside of the southeast point of the island, about five miles from theextremity of the point.At the moment of striking I was in bed leaning on my elbow,readjusting my older boy, who was sleeping with me. I was alsolistening to the wierd notes of scores of sea birds, that seemed fairlyto surround the ship. The ship grounded gently, the officer of thewatch having sighted the breakers and signaled full speed asternthr-ee or four minutes before we struck. For about an hour anda half the engines kept going full speed astern, but to no avail, andby that time the strong wind and current had carried us broadsideto the reef. We were soon hard and fast in that position. As wecame around the engines began to twist with the breaking of thebottom frames of the ship. We were then a hopeless wreck, andrealized that salvation for us was either the appearance of a ship orthe discovery of land. We did not know but that we had struckone of the numerous dreaded sunken reefs of the Pacific, althoughthe 'captain felt sure that he was so far to' the east of ChristmasIsland that we could not be upon it.Immediately after grounding, there was a short, wild cry fromthe Chinese crew, but after that all was quiet and orderly aboardthe ship, and each officer and man worked faithfully and well athis allotted task preparing the boats to' abandon ship, should thatbecome necessary. The boats were lowered to the rail and pro-206THE WRECK OF THE" AEON"visioned with food and water; the people got their stuff togetheras best they could, and we all settled down to wait for daybreak.The ship had taken a decided list I to' port (seaward). W (; dranktea at midnight, put the children back to. bed, and amused ourselveswith conjectures as to our whereabouts.Toward daylight we could make out dim objects in the dis­tance that we thought to be either high land or cocoanut trees.These proved to. be small clumps of scrubby bushes not far away,the largest growth we found anywhere on the island. Daylightbrought us the cheerful view of dry land not over 400 yards away ;it was only a desert island; but it was a dry place where we couldset our feet, and there was quiet water on one side of the shipwhere we could easily get into the boats and make our start throughthe breakers. I was never gladder to see dry land in all my lifethan to view that desert island. All night we had realized that wewere possibly face to' face with many long hot days in open boats,under a tropical sun, perhaps short of water and even food ; buthere was land, and so close by that we could 'easily transport foodand other stores from the ship.At about 6 o'clock the captain sent a small boat ashore to carrya line and make it fast on the beach. This done, boats were there­after hauled back and forth along it with comparative ease andsafety. Our party, embracing all the women and children on board,were next sent ashore safely and comfortably, and dry shod, for assoon as the boat grounded on the beach the men quickly gathered upthe women and children, and set them high and dry on the rocks.The day was spent landing provisions and canvas, lumber andother things needed for our immediate comfort. By nightfall wehad erected enough tents to make us fairly comfortable and hadsecured plenty of food stuff. The succeeding days were spent inadding other comforts to our tents, and in landing and storing pro­visions against a day when the ship might go down, or break topieces, for we did not know how long we might be left there.The supply of water was very short. The fresh water tanks onthe ship had filled with salt water, with the exception of the smallgravity tank on the superstructure, which fortunately had beenfreshly filled an hour before the ship struck. We faced a waterfamine .for twelve days, at the end of which time this peril wasaverted by the completion of an extemporized distiller, capable ofmaking forty or fifty gallons of fresh water per day, and by the208 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEdiscovery of good fresh water seven feet below the surface of thecoral sand about five hundred yards from the beach.At the end of the first month the ship's officers had fitted oneof the life boats with a motor that had been found in the cargo,and the captain, second officer, and two engineers started for the cablestation on Fanning Island. That night they met with a mishap atsea and the next morning found that they had drifted back almostto their starting-point. As soon as they could repair the damage tothe boat and engine they returned to the wreck. We were glad tosee them safe, but felt disappointed at the failure of the expedition.The boat was repaired and such changes were made as were neces­sary to' put it in first-class condition. Almost one month after afresh start was made for the cable station. This time they weresuccessful and brought us speedy relief.Twenty-four hours before the relief ship was sighted a littledaughter was barn to' Mrs. Patrick. The Australian Star of Syd­ney, has dubbed her "The Luck of Christmas Island." It was ahappy and yet very trying moment for my family as we looked autacross the waste of sand and saw the fine passenger liner, the RoyalMail Steamer "Manuka," skirting the southern side of the island,hastening to our rescue. We knew that we must now move matherand infant at a most critical time. This was dane early the follow­ing morning so skilfully and courteously that there were no illresults, even of a temporary nature; and in spite of the fact that ahigh sea was running, a strang wind blowing, and the tide was likea mill race. It is no disparagement of the courage, skill, and powerof those who did the work far me to say that the mast tryingexperience we had in connection with the wreck was in beingrelieved.From Christmas Island the "Manuka" took us to Suva, thepretty little capital of the Fijis. There the U. S. S. "Solace" pickedus up and conveyed us to' this landlocked haven in the midst of thesouthern seas, and it was with glad hearts that we looked aut onemorning and saw the beautiful mountains of this island, towardwhich we had been journeying for three manths. and a day.THE UNIVERSITY RECORDADDRESSES AT THE CELEBRATION OFTHE DARWIN CENTENARYUnder the' auspices of the Bio­logical Club of the University ofChicago, the hundredth anniversaryof the birth of Charles Darwin wasmarked by a series of notable ad­dresses on the work and influence ofthe great scientist.

It is inferred, thereforethat Michigan has promised to ob�serve all Conference rules from nowon, inasmuch as a game with Minne­sota would have been impossibleunder any other conditions.That a sweeping change in thecontrol of Michigan's athletics isnear appears evident. One of theimportant Conference rules is thatthe faculty must be in full and com­plete control of the athletic interestsof the institution-as a prerequisitefor membership. The moot point atMichigan, whether the Board ofRegents, or certain graduates or theFaculty is the proper governi�g body,must necessarily be near a solution.The pre�sure that has been broughtto bear In recent months by alumniall over the United States is .mder­stood to be a powerful factor in themovement toward complete facultycontrol and a return to membershipin the Conference. .Since the end of the footballseason of 1908, which resulted sodisastrously for Michigan there hasbeen considerable comment in collezepupli�atio,ns on t.he advisability �fMichigan s returning to the Confer­ence and accepting Conference rules.The reason urged has been thatMichigan's ill-luck was due to thefact that the colleges she played hadmany different eligibility rules andstandards. The sentiment of thealumni was made public in an edi- torial article in the M ic higan A lum­nus for January, which declaredMichigan could return to the Con­ference without loss of prestige andat the expense of very minor adjust­ments. Comment favorable toMichigan's return has since appearedin the Wisconsin S pectaior, the Wis­consin Alumni Magazine and theDaily lllini. A recent editorial inthe Michigan Daily took the Alum­nus to task for its point of view butthis is not held to reflect the moresob.er judgment of the great majoritywhich IS anxious to uphold a highstandard.The Alumnus believes that thereal question involved seems to bewhether the Faculty of the univer­sity or the Board of Regents shallcontrol her athletics. It considersmany of the questions that were thebone of contention a few years azosolved in the course of events. Therule which limited athletes to threeyears of athletic work is no longerconsidered important, because themen affected will be out of schoolby the end of this year. The ques­tion of a training table can be settledeasily, says the A lumnus and adds:"It is safe to say that Jno footballteam in any of our large universitieswith a few possible exceptions iswithout something corresponding toa training table." This leads us toquestion the sources of informationof the Alumnus. The limitation ofgames is also found to have beensettled automatically, some of theConference colleges now playingseven games, which Michigan askedfor: . The differe?ce in preliminarytraining, says this publication hastaken care of itself, so much s� thatthis year Michigan will begin train­ing a day after the Conference col­leges. The disputed point is still thatof "home rule," concerning whichthe A lumnus says:It is advocated by those who upholdthis policy that it would he better forMichigan to control her own policiesr:=tther than to be subject to the dicta­tion of the Conference and especially213214 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEof the smaller colleges which are in­cluded in the Conference, and whoseproblems and interests are presumablynot those of the larger colleges. Thereis also a feeling that Michigan mightbe involved under the Conference inschedules several years ahead withother colleges, and that is felt to beundesirable.Azainst these arguments for "homerulee" those who advocate Confer­enc� control believe in the uniformityin rules which the Conference assuresand also the impossibility of changingrules to suit the requirements of indi­vidual players. Michigan, in her pres­ent position, playing with universitiesgoverned by so many different eligi­hili ty rules, is in a very difficult andoften disadvantageous position, andthe ensuring of an absolute uniformityin rules is felt to be a great gain forgood sportsmanship and better univer­sity feeling. The friends of the Con­ference also believe that it effectuallyprevents any backward steps. I t wouldbe far easier for one university to letdown the rules, than for such anorganization as the Conference. Themost effective argument perhaps forthe Conference is more or less al­truistic-the influence of its solidarityon outside colleges, which would resultin a very general elevation of athleticstandards in the smaller colleges, andtherefore on athletics in general, notonly in the West, but eventually in thewhole country,The Wisconsin Spectator believesthat the natural rivals of Michiganare in the West and looks forwardto the speedy restoration of athleticrelations. "Michigan must bear inmind, however," says the Spectator."that the will of the maj ority mustrule and that if she returns she mustin common with other institutionsbe governed by the rules promul­gated by .the Conference." The chiefregret of the Daily Illini is thatMichigan in baseball "was the onlyteam that could make a good show­ing against the Orange and Blue."The Wisconsin Alumni Magazinedoes not look for a change in ath­letic conditions at Michigan untilthe end of the present college year.Asserting that it seems certainDirector Baird will resign then theMagazine says: "The attitude afterthat time will depend largely uponthe selection of Baird's successor,as it is probable that the Board of Control, now dominated by anti­Conference men, will be changed toconform to the policy of the newathletic director."AWARDS IN ECONOMICSUniversity of Chicago alumni wererecipients of important prizes in thefourth Hart, Schaffner & Marxaward, which is given annually forpapers on economic subj ects. Thefirst graduate prize of 1908 was givenOscar Douglas Skelton, Ph.D., '08,assistant professor in political sci­ence in Queen's University, Kingston,Canada, for an essay entitled "TheCase against Socialism." A secondprize of $500 was given Emily FoggMeade, '97, wife of Edward Sher­wood Meade, instructor in historyin the University of Pennsylvania.The subject of Mrs. Meade's paperwas "Agricultural Resources of theUnited States." A prize of $1,000was awarded in 1907 to Albert N.Merritt, Ph.D., '06, for an essay en­titled "Federal Regulation of Rail­way Rates."For the fifth year the Hart,Schaffner & Marx prizes open upopportunities for college men to geta hearing and at the same time anadequate reward for the time spenton their work. For the competitionthat closes J une I, 1909, prizes areoffered under two general heads forthree classes of contestants, the firstincluding any American withoutrestriction, the second any under­graduate of an American college,and the third any person who hasnot had an academic training. Theprizes offered make a total of $2,000.The committee in charge of the con­test is composed of Professor J.Laurence Laughlin, of the Univer­sity of Chicago, chairman; ProfessorJ. B. Clark, of Columbia University;Professor Henry C. Adams, of theUniversity of Michigan; HoraceWhite, of New York City; andCarroll D. Wright, of Clark College.THE MEN'S COMMONSWithin the last year patronage ofthe private dining-room of the Men'sCommons has grown so large thatDISCUSSION AND COMMENThardly an evening passes but thatsome University organization meetsthere. The January report of Mr.T. L. Barrell, manager of the Men'sCommons, shows that frequentlytwo clubs have been served on thesame evening, one dining in theCommons Cafe, which will accom­modate a great many more peoplethan the private dining-room. Theorganizations making use of therooms are of many different inter­ests. During the month dinnershave been given by the CommercialClub, the Pen Club, the Fencibles,the officers of the University Press,the Executive Committee of theAlumni Association, the Phi BetaPi fraternity, the members of Sec­tion I of Hitchcock Hall, the Orderof the Iron Mask, and on severaloccasions by organizations connectedwith Hyde Park churches, in whichUniversity men are interested. OnJanuary 22 a number of alumni ofPurdue University gathered in theprivate dining-room, During Oc­tober, 1908, 969 meals were served inthe private dining-room, and in N 0-vember, 1908, the number increasedto 1,085.The Men's Commons alone hasbeen enj oying an increasing patron­age from year to year. In October,1908, 22,973 meals were served, asagainst 21,789 in October, 1907. Incontrast to 18,375 meals served inNovember, 1907, is the total of 19,-486 served in November, 1908. Thesummer of 1908 was the biggest inthe history of the Commons. InJuly 45,134 meals were served, andthe summer months show an increaseof 20,000 meals over those of 1907.The biggest day was July 21, when1,728 persons were served. TheCommons management likes to lookback on this as a day on which thekitchen worked like a charm, beingable to serve eight meals a minute,or 480 an hour. What a field is herefor the statistician, should he careto figure up the number of pies cut,eggs fried, and gallons of coffee used.Appreciation of the uses of theCommons does not appear to be lack­ing among the University public.Its steadily growing patronageseems to show that the students are 215satisfied with the service. The un­failing support that the Commons isgetting should be reciprocated by the'persistent attempt of the manage­ment to keep _the Commons serviceup to the highest state of efficiency."PROM" EXPENSESDeclaring that "the essence ofdemocracy is simplicity," the YaleAlumni Weekly of January 13 feelsthat it will hardly be claimed thatthe simplicities of the Yale promare as yet strikingly dominant. Itsremonstrance against prom expenses,together with an announcement maderecently by the Yale prom committee,declaring that flowers for guestswould not be in favor during promweek, leads to the conclusion thatsocial demands are rather heavy onYale undergraduates. Similar pro­tests have been made at other uni­versities. At the University of Chi­cago, on the other hand, studentshave been uniformly free from anexcessive expenditure for proms.The reason for this is foundperhaps in the fact that proms areone-night social functions at Chi­cago, while at many universities theylast a week, combining house parties,theater parties, and private dances.The management of the Chicagoproms has been conservative foryears. The following table of ex­penses of one man is typical:Ticket .. . . . . . . . . • . . . . . . . . . . .. $4.00Flowers .....................• 1.00Cab hire ,;....... 4.009.00Cab hire for longer distances mayincrease by a dollar; more often it isless when four people occupy thesame carriage.Although the proms should be themost important social affairs in un­dergraduate life they are frequentlyhandicapped by being placed in com­petition with numberless socialfunctions in the city itself. Theactivities of ,the student body aredissipated over the entire city, whichis one reason why the attendancesat the proms are never exception­ally large. Again, their appeal doesnot seem to be wide enough to in-2I6 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEelude all who attended the dance ofthe University Settlement on J anu­ary 30. This is to be regretted, butit is a condition which must beovercome by new methods.The work of prom committeesmerits support. Committeemen givetheir time freely. The decorationsare costly. The luncheons in Hut­chinson Hall have been uniformlysatisfactory. If the under-gradu­ate who asserts that a prom isbeyond his reach will revise theamount he spends for theaters andother pleasures that he indulges induring the year, he will find himselfnot only able to support the prom,but amply compensated for his sacri­fice. That spirit of loyalty which ismaking the University Commonssuccessful, is building the newHarper Memorial Library and isagitating a new gymnasium for thewomen, can work effectively forthe proms.UNIVERSITY CONDITIONS, EASTAND WE$TIn a careful study of YaleUniversity in the Independent forFebruary 4, Edwin E. Slosson, Ph.D.,'94, tells why the summer school atYale proved a failure. The depart­ment was opened July 6, I 905, andwas conducted for three seasons, inwhich the students numbered 26g,207, and I39. The expense for thefirst two years was $2,000 and $9,000.The school was not incorporated inthe university and full credit wasdenied summer students. Dr. Slos­son believes this to have been one ofthe main reasons for its failure.Comparing this with the summer'School at the University of Chicago,he says:President Harper, in starting thesummer work at Chicago, in 1894,showed the same boldness and deter­mination as President Eliot in intro­ducing the elective system at Harvard.He made it the full equivalent of theother quarters, with instructors of thehighest standing and full universitycredit for the work done. It was anastonishing success from the start andis one of the most profitable featuresof the University of Chicago in every sense of the word. The work donein the summer is in general both morethorough and more advanced than thatof the winter quarters, and the Univer­sity has extended its influence all overthe South and West by means of it.Other universities have imitated theplan more or less completely and withsimilar success.Dr. Sloss on notes a curious differ­ence between the influence of thealumni of eastern and western col­leges. He finds western alumniurging their Alma Mater forward,sometimes overruling president,trustees, and faculty and forcing theuniversity, by control of the legis­lature, to take steps to bring it intocloser touch with modern life. Theeastern alumni he finds conservative,even reactionary, "opposing almostany change, wise or unwise." Hebelieves eastern alumni to be gener­ous to their universities, but, as abody, desirous of keeping their AlmaMater unaltered. "It is the alumniI believe," he says, "who are re�sponsible for the preservation of OldSouth Middle, which makes Yalelook like a full-grown rooster with abit of the shell from which it washatched stuck on its back."In his inquiries Dr. Slosson founda lack of co-operation or team-playin the university as a whole. Hecommends the. religious atmosphere,and says that m no other universitythat he visited does the Y. M. C. A.stand so high in the student body,or exert so much influence in studentand political affairs. Chicago menwill be interested to know that atYale interest in debating is sadlylacking, and that the attendance ata Yale-Harvard debate in WoolseyHall was made up of "a very tepidaudience, mostly women and towns­people." In discussing the make-upof the Senior societies Dr. Slossonbelieves that scholarship has littleweight in the question of eligibility.Athletics he considers overdone."The finest thing about Yale," hesays in his concluding paragraph, "isthe student body." This, he feels,is made up of wide-awake and well­ordered young men, not cynical,blase, or prematurely aged, nor awk­ward, unruly, and obstreperous.CORRESPONDENCE[The Editors of The Universlty of Chlcago M agaz-ine welcome letters from graduates, faculty,and students on University topics.

The defeat ofIndiana at Bartlett Gymnasium onJanuary 15 by a score of 18 to 12,after a close game disquieted thestudents at first, but subsequent vic­tories over Purdue on January 23by a score of 31 to 11 and. overNorthwestern on January 30 by 28to 4 increased their expectations.Iowa was defeated on January 28by a score of 29 to 10 and Wiscon­sin, which had been expected toprove the most formidable opponentof the month, fell on February 6by a score of 10 to 5. The returnof Orville H. Page added anothermember of the championship teamof 1908.

Onthe cold night of January 30 oversix hundred students attended thesecond annual dance for the Uni­versity Settlement. The event wascharmingly informal. Tags, whichhad been sold during the week astickets to the dance, also served ascards of identification, so thateveryone was made acquainted.Cider, apples, and doughnuts wereserved.

DAY,S ecretary- TreasurerTHE CHICAGO ALUMNAE CLUBThat the proposed merger ofAlumni Day with Convocation Dayin June would work a detriment toAlumni Day was the conclusionreached by the Chicago AlumnaeClub at a meeting held on January 9in the rooms of the Chicago CollegeClub in the Fine Arts building. Thealumnae felt that the day would loseits distinctiveness by the changewhile at the same time probably nomore could attend than before. Amotion was passed indorsing theSaturday before Convocation Day asthe time for the luncheon.Each member was urged to sendthe secretary a motto for the Uni­versity seal, which the Universityhad asked the dub to consider. Itwas also decided to have a committeeon membership made up of one mem­ber from each class, with MissLouise Roth, '00, as chairman. By this means it is hoped that the mem­bership will be considerably increasedby the April meeting. The organi­zation cannot be effective without theco-operation of all classes.The programme included a stirringtalk by Miss Dudley on the newwomen's gymnasium, in which shetold of the inadequacy of the presentbuildings and urged general help fora new gymnasium.

PresidentFaunce says the lectures are designed to giveno information on any subj e·ct : merely apoint of view. This, to say the least, thereader will find refreshing and stimulating,for in treatment of his topic, and in expres­sion, President Faunce is especially success­ful.Each essay is pertinent to religious edu­cation today. That entitled "The Relationof Church and College" furnishes a strongargument for a closer relation between thesetwo great forces in character-building.President Faunce' feels that the church is notholding the attention of young men as itshould and in part finds the reason in the col­lege. Both are using opposite methods, hedeclares; the church approaching every­thing synthetically, the college analytically.He believes the college has gone to extremesin developing the laboratory method of study,and that habits of inquiry in a student havemade it hard for him to give unequivocalContinued on advertising page 16Say "UNIVERSITY 0 ..

The church, hesays, emphasizes the religious life as a solemnchoice, while the college recognizes religionas culture and a gradual unfolding of thehigher life. He feels that there must becloser co-operation between church and col­lege; that the college must develop somelarge co-ordinating and unifying purposewhich it does not now possess, and that thechurch must develop the educational ideal toa far greater extent than hitherto. "It musthave vital relations to the institutions about. it, to the great movements for human uplift,for sweetening the life of city and country,"Important lectures are those entitled "TheAttitude of Religious Leaders toward NewTruth," "The Demand for Ethical Leader­ship," and "The Direction of Religious Edu­cation," In each lecture in the book thereader will find a just and clear presentationof a modern question, pertinent to the think­ing of the day. Before becoming presidentof Brown University Dr. Faunce was pastorof the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church of NewYork. At the funeral services for the latePresident Harper he gave one of the princi­pal addresses.THE ADMINISTRATION OF EDUCATIONAlthough in recent years there have beenpublished hundreds of books bearing onevery phase of education, the new volume bySamuel Train Dutton, A.M., and David Sned­den, Ph.D., entitled The Administration ofPublic Education in the United States comesas a distinct contribution to this study. Itis an exhaustive and well-ordered compen­dium on governmental educational activity.For students of education it will prove aninvaluable guide. It will prove important asa reference book, the arrangement of the textfacilitating easy reading.
