I cannot come once more amongyou, by your fresh invitation, to both of these offices, with­out first of all paying my meed of homage to the great increase ofmaterial and intellectual strength which these years, your labors,and the confidence of the people have brought to you. The widthof the foundations which you laid and the rapidity of your earliestprogress made it easy for your visitors to predict a phenomenalgrowth, but your actual achievements have outrun the most san­guine of their anticipations.From year to year I have read with growing interest the reportsof your Presidents and Deans. There are many details uponwhich, were there time, I could enviously congratulate you; butthere are two to which I rather confine myself as able to speak uponthem from an experience more equal to your own. First, then, Icongratulate you OIn being the University of a great city. Afterall, that is the ideal place for a seat of learning. If I may judgefrom our own experience in Glasgow, now with a million of peo­ple, and surrounded by many smaller towns, scholarship and edu-1 Delivered on the occasion of the Seventy-first Convocation of the Uni­versity, held in Hutchinson Court, June IS, 1909.326 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEcation, nay even research, discovery, and literature, are not em­barrassed nor weakened, but are stimulated, enriched, better organ­ized, and kept more flexible, by contact with the great movementsof commerce and public life; while it is in such an environmentalone that a university can capture the imagination. and sympathyof the people, enlist the aid, as necessary to its intellectual as to itsmaterial prosperity, of men of business and affairs; and mostdirectly achieve the principal aim of a university in the enlighteningand inspiration of the national life. On the second point I speak to,you with the heart of a Scotsman, for here I may justly say thatmy country has shown an example to the world, I have noticed inyour reports that a large proportion of your students coming fromthe city of Chicago belong to the working-classes; and that a greatnumber maintain themselves by their own work. May that pro­portion never grow less! N ever suffer anything to come into theorganization of your studies nor into the habits of your students'life which would obstruct the clear avenue that ought to run rightup to the university from the humblest schools and the simplesthomes of the land. May your Alma Mater continue, as she best cancontinue amid so vast a population, to he the alma mater of thepoor as well as of the rich..But on yours, as on all success, there fall the shadows whichare inevitable by us mortals. With the admiration I have expressed,so long an absence as mine brings its countervailing griefs, and Istand again in this place less moved by the grandeur of the institu­tion than by the frailty of the personalities who serve it: the littlelives which wear out that it may flourish through the ages. Severalare already gone who were identified with the recent beginnings ofyour University. I miss, as who does not, the wise, strong, andgenial presences of Dr. Northrup, Dr. Hurlburt, Dr. Goodspeed,and, above all, of President Harper. Six years ago when I was lyingnear death in Cleveland Hospital he traveled far to my bedsideto cheer me and to pray with me. How my heart turns to himtoday who first called me here; who honored me with his friend­ship ; who gave me, as he gave to. all that came into contact withhim, so great an example of energy, of sympathy, of devotion. Didever the head of any university combine such loyalty to its commonlife with such just assertion of his own personality; such thorough­ness in his proper subject, with such sympathy for every other inthe field of science; such constant readiness to learn and unlearnRELATIONS OF CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM 327with such fruitfulpower of action and construction; such care withsuch courage; such, scholarship, business capacity, and moral enthu­siasm. W·e shall rarely find his like again.From these brief tributes I turn to the subject on which I havechosen to address you. There is no problem more serious andpra.ctical before us today than the relation of our Christianity to theother great religions which like herself command the adhesion ofmillions of the human race; nor among these religions is any whichoffers more grave or doubtful elements in our anticipations of thefuture than Mohammedanism. N ow in the title I have given to mydiscourse I have emphasized the interest of you Americans in thequestion of Mohammedanism, because it is at least as great from themoral and historical points of view as that of any other Christiannation-not excluding my own which now' governs in India andEgypt some seventy millions of a Moslem population. In theTurkish Empire, the political, intellectual, and religious center ofIslam, you have indeed far less material interest than other westernpeoples. Your trade with it is comparatively 'small; nor are youtroubled by any of those prospects, which, welcome or unwelcome,haunt the nations of Europe, of increasing their territories at itsexpense, or of otherwise profiting by its weakness or dissension,Your interests in Turkey are not only almost exclusively moralbut you have pursued them with a zeal and a measure of success,whether in Egypt, or Syria, or Asia Minor, or Turkey in Europe,which no other Protestant people has been willing or able to riva1.As early as the seventeenth century we British sent chaplains to ourcountrymen in the factories at Aleppo and elsewhere in Syria, andmany a wandering scholar up and down the nearer East; but to thebest of my knowledge you far more distant Americans were thefirst to give missionaries of the Reformed Faith to the TurkishEmpire; you introduced western education to its children, and youfounded in it the first Protestant schools and colleges. On theextreme southeastern. point of Cyprus, over against the Holy Land,there is a group of American graves which tell one of the mostheroic stories in all the history of Christian mia s ions. About I820a band of Protestant missionaries from the United States landedwith their families at Beyrout in Syria and were almost immediatelyexpelled by the Turkish authorities. Instead of returning to' theirhomes these brave men and women settled at Larnaca in Cyprus,the nearest outpost to the field of their sacred hopes, and waited328 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEthere looking for an opening which never came till all of them haddied. I have stood by those forgotten graves in Larnaca and read thehumble inscriptions which tell how first the children died, then thewomen, and then the men. It was not in vain that they kept theirlonely station to the last. Today one of the noblest universities inthe East is the American College at Beyrout. Roberts College hasrisen in Constantinople; your institutions relieve the darkness ofAsia Minor, and only a few weeks ago some more of your country­men were martyred there for the sacred cause's of learning and apure religion. In Egypt you have colleges at Cairo and Assiout,and long before the British occupation of that land, you had estab­lished schools and a graded system of education in a large numberof the towns and villages. Am I not correct in repeating that yourrights in the Turkish Empire are moral interests, unselfishly pur­sued in devotion to the improvement and enfranchisement of itspeoples? Is there any other western people whose interest in thequestion before us ought to be greater than yours?From the very rise of this Arabian monotheism which we are tostudy, there has been no greater problem to the faith of us Chris­tians, no more obdurate indifference to our gospel, nor any sodangerous rival in the task of converting the polytheist and idola­trous races of the world. The gospel of J esus Christ had pervadedthe Roman Empire and spread beyond its frontiers southward toAbyssinia, eastward to Hindostan. In the century before Moham­med Cosmas the traveler found Christian communities with churchesand bishops in Arabia, Persia, Bactria, the islands of Sokotra andCeylon, and in India itself; everywhere, as he says, multitudes ofChristians. Yet within two hundred years from Mohammed'sbirth all these lands with parts of Asia Minor, all the north ofAfrica and even parts of Europe had fallen under the dominationof Islam. Whole communities had been forced or persuaded tochange their faith; and by inducements, both good and evil, an enor­mous proportion of the ablest minds and strongest wills over thatvast stretch of Greek and Latin Christendom were, with an enthu­siasm that their Christian discipline had failed to excite for cen­turies, enlisted in the service of the novel Arabian doctrines. Al­though in some of the countries mentioned the churches founded bythe apostles continued to endure, under the fickle and contemptuoustolerance of their conquerors, they did so without either the con­science, or the means, of service beyond themselves. Often perse-RELATIONS OF CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM 329cuted and nearly always threatened they may be described for cen­turies as living .at bay, and therefore developing instead of thehumane feelings and duties of their religion, the bitterest and mostrevengeful of tempers toward the infidel, till they have come toregard Mohammedans, as an educated Syrian churchman once saidto me with flashing eyes, as just so much material created by God tofill up hell. N or did they attract any succor from the West, exceptfor the interval of the Crusades, whose hosts, however, were moredevoted to the recapture of the Holy Places than to either the sup­port of their eastern brethren or the conversion of the unbelievers.It is right to remember that the Roman monasteries round theLevant were constantly recruited by voluntary and courageousexiles from Europe; but except for the single and glorious exampleof Raymond Lully, at the beginning of the fourteenth century,Europe, whether Roman or Reformed, has done practically no workamong Mohammedans till within a very recent period.These are the bare and, as we may justly say, the awful facts:the conquest of 'so many Christian lands including that of theFounder of our Faith; the conversion to Islam not only of wholeChristian communities but of the best brains and strongest wills insuch communities as remained loyal to the Cross; and for virtuallytwelve centuries the failure of western Christendom to react uponIslam with any other instrument than the sword.If now one asks, as we who believe in the providential gov­ernment of the world are compelled to ask, whether it be possibleto read any ethical reasons for those things, the answer may begiven that in spite of the prevailing mystery and confusion, reasonsof such a character are fairly obvious. Let us take one by one thevarious crises in the history of Islam-Mohammed himself, thecharacter of his influence and that of the Koran, the absorption ofthe Turks into his 'system; and the effects of the Mohammedanpropaganda on other races of mankind.1. Mohammed himself. The Old Testament prototype of Mo­hammed has always appeared to me to be the prophet Balaam,Both sprang from Arabia. Both were ecstatic prophets. Both werestrained and torn between the attractions of two religions of verydifferent moral influence. Both gave way to moral compromisesand delinquencies. But again, like Balaam, Mohammed was notdestitute of a genuine inspiration. When we see so great a person­ality, so opportune to the circumstances of his time and so adequate330 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEto many of its needs, not only able to unite within his lifertime the 'scattered tribes of a peninsula as large as Europe west ofthe Vistula and hurl them upon the conquest of half the civilizedworld, but founding "a system which should survive himself fortwelve centuries as a living missionary force, that it should notmerely influence but utterly remold one fourth of the human race,and that fourth the unchangeable one" 2-all this is a phenomenonwhich as religious men we are bound to confess as a direct act ofGod.2. Nor was the character 'of Mohammed's influence withoutmoral advantage to those who accepted it. Before he died his wordhad abolished idolatry throughout Arabia.. Some of his earliestdisciples who had fled to Abyssinia from the persecution of theKoreish in Mecca, used these remarkable words a'5 they flung them­selves at the feet of the Christian king: "We used to live in igno­rance, idolatry, and unchastity; the strong oppressed the weak;we 'spoke untruth; we violated the duties of hospitality. Then aprophet arose .... who told us to worship one God, to speak thetruth, to keep good faith, to assist our relatives, to fulfil- the rightsof hospitality, and to abstain from all things impure, ungodly, andunjust. And he commanded us to say prayers, give alms, and fast,Him we believed in; him we followed."In Sir William Muir's History of the Ea,rly Caliphate you mayr'ead how far such ideals pervaded the next generations ofIslam, the generations who achieved the conquest of western Asiaand Egypt. Impressed by the example of Judaism and Christianity,Mohammed had the instinct to put his doctrines into the form of abook. The Koran is an extraordinary mixture of truth and error.Its evident compilation from older writings of various values : itsignorance and misstatements of fact; its curious torture and con­fusion of history; its accommodations to some of the lower morallevels on which Mohammed found the Arabs, or to his OW,t1 personalpassions-all these obviously disprove his assertion that the originalof the Koran was written in heaven and dictated by God.The Koran, too, suffers radically from a conception of God lower­than that which the prophets of Israel had proclaimed centuriesbefore to the 'same Semitic world. Nevertheless on the unity ofGod, on the reality of the Judgment, and on those moral duties ofmen, which I have quoted, the Book spoke to the generations, to.2 From Mr. Townsend's Asia and Europe.RELATIONS OF CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM 331which it came, with sincere passion, with authority, and with thepower to convince. ,To us it can be no insoluble mystery that theidolatrous Christianity of the East went down so rapidly before adoctrine and a discipline like these. Nay, had the issue been other­wise we should have found it not less, but even more, hard tobelieve that Providence is with the moral energies of mankind.3. Nor, again, was it altogether a mystery when this Arabianfaith was reinforced by the conversion of the Turks, and pouredacross Asia Minor into Europe. As the prophet Amos pointed out,all nations are of the calling and inspiration of Almighty GQd:"For are ye not as the children of the Ethiopians unto me, 0children of Israel? saith the Lord. Have I not brought the Philis­tines from Caphtor and the Arameans from Kir?" It is surely notimpossible for us who believe in a divine purpose running throughhistory to see some traces of this in the racial vigor which theTurks brought into the exhausted populations of western Asia andsoutheastern Europe; and in their conversion to Islam, which liftedthem at least above the utter barbarism of the Huns and still pro­duces from among them an honest and a sober peasantry.4. Nor has Mohammedanism failed elsewhere to contribute, insome degree, to the elevation of mankind. In India the Moslemdoctrines of the direct relation of God to every believer and theequality of all the faithful before Him have emancipated masses ofHindoos from the injustice of caste, as well as from the terrors ofthose manifold chance's of existence with which they are menacedby the doctrine of the transmigration of souls. Defective as theMohammedan creed of the Resurrection and Judgment may be, itis yet infinitely better than that expectation of a long series ofstages of life -which are believed to be determined as much byritual accident as by ethical deserts, In India, too, the fathfulnessof Islam to the unity of God has partly affected Hinduism itself,and assisted the formation of theistic sects within the Hindoo pale.While in central Africa travelers affirm; and we can easily realize,the power of such a system to elevate savage and idolatrous tribesto higher forms both of society and religion.It is, then, such a religion, informed by no small proportion ofthe truth, inspired by great moral earnestness, and fortified, too, bytraditions of conquest and culture, which Christianity has to en­counter. But Islam has these further advantages against us whenwe seek to convert its adherents or to compete with it for the con-332 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEversion of the heathen. When we seek to convert its own adher­ents we find that they have always regarded Christianity as a priorstage, a less developed and more corrupt stage of revelation, thantheir own religion and have been immemorially trained to look downupon us, from what they believe to be their pur'er monotheism, witha 'acorn that is intellectual as well as religious. Islam feels towardChristianity all the contempt of a successor which has displaced ourfaith because it was found wanting. The Christianity which Mo­hammedans knew was partly idolatrous and partly immoral. Formany centuries the purer western forms of our religion have leftthem alone, and even today have succeeded in making only thesmallest impression on their ranks. Again, when we compete withIslam for the conversion of the heathen, it has these advantagesover us. Its creed is simple and not expressed like our own in theforms of a western theology nor commended by western mission­aries. Its missionaries are all Asiatic or African. They ha.ve nosocial prejudices against the tribes to whom they preach but areeven favorable to the intermarriage of their families with the racesthat are black. And like all monotheists they have a fervid and anunresting missionary zeal. Today Islam is professed by one hun­dred and eighty millions of the human race, of whom sixty-threemillions are in India alone. In the ten years previous to 1901 theyadded five millions, or nearly 10 per cent., to their numbers there.If we are to face such a situation with any confidence we musthave the clear and articulate certainty .that in our faith and culturewe possess something far better for mankind than Mohammedanismhas to give them; that we come with a purer gospel, a higher moral­ity, and social influences more deep and beneficial; that we comewith the political and scientific gains of a Reformed Christianity­a Christianity with a fuller knowledge of God, whether revealed inJesus Christ or in modern science and philosophy. In what thenmay we say that Islam is deficient? What can our modern andwestern Christianity supply in its stead? I think that in this respectthere are six points which we may appreciate.First and foremost, there is the Doctrine of God. N ow tomeasure justly the defects of Islam in this central doctrine, wemust keep out of the vulgar lerror that the God of the Koran ismerely a divine despot, an iron and inconsiderate fate. He isabove all the Merciful, the Compassionate, and no one who has hadintercourse with devout Mohammedans or has followed the religiousRELATIONS OF CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM 333exercises of any of the various brotherhoods and sects of Islam candoubt the existence, among them of an ultimate trust in His graceor a passionate affection for His person. But when full allowanceis made for all this, it remains indubitably true that neither theKoran nor the subsequent theologies of Isl am have a doctrine ofGod comparable in its conceptions either of his holiness or of hisself-sacrificing love to the doctrine of the Hebrew prophets andstill less to that of the revelation of Jesus Christ.Secondly, there is the attitude of the Mohammedan religion towomen. In this, too, we must guard against exaggeration. It isnot certain, as. is commonly said, that Islam denies to the womenof this life an entrance to heaven; it is not true that it shuts themout from prayer to God or a trust in his grace. Also the positionof a mother of sons in the East is secure and she is always regardedwith a beautiful reverence. But once more when due care has beentaken to avoid charges, that Mohammedans justly deny, it is noto­rious that their treatment of women is a radical fault in their socialsystem. Experts in eastern life have often pointed out that thereligion which Mohammed founded is "one conceived by the geniusof a man and intended for men."3 Mr. Stanley Lane Poole saysthat "the degradation of women in the East is a canker whichbegins its destructive work early in childhood and has eaten intothe whole system of Islam."4 Lord Cromer brings an equallyheavy indictment against the Mohammedan seclusion of women andthe polygamy tolerated by the Koran. "Seclusion, by confining thesphere of women's interest to a very limited horizon, cramps theintellect and withers the development of one half of the populationin Moslem countries." Also "it is obvious that it must produce adeteriorating effect on the male population.r" To this testimonyfrom the nearer East I may add that I have heard enlightenedHindoos deplore the seclusion of their women and trace it withbitterness and with justice to Mohammedan influence. LordCromer goes on to say that "the effects of polygamy are more bane­ful and far-reaching than those of seclusion, Monogamy fostersfamily life; polygamy destroys it. The monogamous Christianrespects women; the teaching of his religion and the incidents ofhis religious worship tend to elevate them. Among other conse-a Lord Cromer.4 Islam, a prelection delivered before the University of Dublin.� Modern Egypt" pp. 155 f.334 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEquences resulting from polygamy . . . . it may be noted thatwhereas in the West the elevation 'Of women has tended towardthe refinement both of literature and conversation, in the East theirdegradation has encouraged both literary and conversationalcoarseness."Thirdly, there is no doubt that our western Christianity excelsMohammedanism in possessing the secret of developing a strong anda pure government. Mohammedans themselves admit that in thetwo- fundamental matters of justice and a disinterested public serv­ice we are far ahead of themselves. The acknowledgment of theimpartiality of our rule in India and Egypt is universal in theTurkish Empire, Let me give you my own experience of this, Weare met in a time of trouble in India. How far this is due toBritish faults I cannot stop to inquire, but it is clear that how­ever much the natives of India may justly allege against us, theyat least acknowledge our justice. In this respect the fame ofour government has been carried westward by Indian pilgrims toMecca and thence has spread all over the Mohammedan world.On my way back from India I had conversations with severalTurkish officials in the provinces east of the' Jordan; and it wasremarkable how they fixed on this attribute as our distinction. "YouEnglish," said one of them to me, "owe your conquests to the vigorwith which you are endowed by your northern birth and to yourmastery of science; but you could never have held these conquestsas you have done save for your justice." On my remarking thatthe history of Islam also contained many instances of just rules,he admitted it was so, and that Islam was a religion which enforcedjustice, but he added, "you Christians have the secret of carryingon your justice from one generation, to another." I need not enlargeupon the point. It is indubitable that European Christianity(however slowly) has developed, as Mohammedanism has, notdeveloped, the habits of an entirely just government and the incor­ruptible discharge of public office. Nor need I remind you fromthe history of Europe how much of all this is due directly toChristian influences.Fourthly, there is the Mohammedan tolerance of slavery. Inthat with all its mitigations they are centuries behind ourselves.Fifthly, it is implied in what has preceded, Mohammedanismhas not hitherto had the moral, as distinct from the purely religious,missionary zeal, which distinguishes western Christendom. WithRELATIONS OF CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM 335a hotter passion than ours Moslems will put down idolatry, nor canthey understand why our government in India still allows some of themere outrageous forms of heathen worship. They blame us forthis, out of a very strong and plausible religious conviction. Butwhen it comes to. a sustained moral earnestness in the reform ofpoli tical corruption, or of social impurity or the like, they are farbehind us. The Dervishes who against such fearful odds defendedthe banners of their faith to the death at Omdurman and Suakin,who conducted their crusades against the idolatry of inner Africawith so fervid and self-denying energy, left the province of theSudan a weltering scene of murder, outrage, and blood. And weknow how itt Arabia, the one land absolutely shut till recent yearsto Christian influences, Mohammedanism is content with the super­ficial assent of the tribes to its most formal tenets, and has done littleto pacify, and next to nothing to educate, them. It is Christianitythat founded the first hospitals in the Mohammedan world; Chris­tianity alone that has carried her medical missions into its recesses.Sixthly) there is the attitude of Islam to modern science, ascompared with that of Christianity. European residents in theEast have often observed that a refined Mohammedan, a Mohamme­dan who has come to terms with modern science and civilization,is nearly always an agnostic. "Christian nations," says Sir Wil­liam Muir, "may advance in civilization, freedom, morality, in phi­Iosophy, science, and the arts, but Islam stands still. And thusstationary, so far a:s the lessons of history avail, it will remain."?And Lord Cromer: "It should never be forgotten that Islam can­not be reformed; that is to say reformed Islam is Islam no longer;it is something else; we cannot as yet tell what it will eventuallybe." On the absolute difference between the eastern and westernagnostic-the former who turns his back en all his religion andmorality, the latter who cannot ignore the nineteen hundred yearsof the religion which has been the mainstay of the progress hevaunts and who must, as he does, recognize the utilitarian side ofChristianity-on that striking difference, which goes to the rootsof the two religions-Lord Cromer's observations are weighty and. deserve the close attention of every missionary. Whether we agreewith them or not it is certain that Islam and scientific and politicalprogress are incompatible as Christianity and scientific and politicalprogress are not incompatible. To this progress Christianity, though8 The Caliphate, p. 597.336 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEsome of its mistaken dogmas may have hindered it, has essentiallycontributed, and by ita results the Christian faith is today neitherenfeebled or embarrassed.I have not time to show you in detail how this deficiency inIslam is fundamental because due to certain of its central beliefsconcerning the inspiration of its scriptures. Analogous theorieshave from time to time been professed (with, of course, a difference)by portions of the Christian church, but none of these, thank God,are essential to Christianity as they are to Islam. In Mohamme­danism the Koran is the standard and authority alike for literature,for logic, for philosophy, for social life, and for politics, It is awell-known Moslem saying that every other book outside theKoran and the legal writings based upon it is either superfluousor positively dangerous. And this opinion, with all the fatal con­servatism which it implies, is due to the belief that the Koran wasdictated from heaven. It is exactly as if Christians, ignoringthe authority of Christ and all the difference he has made, wereto consider themselves bound by the letter of the Old Testa­ment; obliged to adopt the beliefs which it presupposes, for instance,that the sun goes round the earth and not the earth round the sun,and its crude and primitive physiology; as well as the social insti­tutions of polygamy, slavery, and so forth, which it enforces andfor which it legislates,It is then with a clear and articulate understanding of all thesesix differences between her own faith and that of Islam, that theChristian church may go forth with confidence and hope to preachits faith and to spread its discipline in the Mohammedan world.N or are there wanting signs that the impenetrableness of the latterto the Gospel is already breaking up. No more significant phe­nomenon is apparent in the religious history of mankind during thelast thirty years than the 'Opening of part at least of the Moslemworld to the influences of the Gospel. Let me give you two illus­trations-and I take them from two of the most fanatical· citiesof that world-Peshawar and Cairo.Forty years ago it was impossible for a Mohammedan in Pe­shawar to profess Christianity and to live a fortnight after his con­version was known. But in the few months before I was there ini904 the church missionary society in Peshawar had baptized fiveor six Moslem converts, one of whom was a moulvie or religiousteacher. How was this achieved? By the patient preaching of theRELATIONS OF CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM 337full Christian gospel and morality, and by the example of Christianphilanthropy in a strong medical mission. Preliminary to these,however, was the inquiry started among educated Mohammedansby Mr. St. Clair Tysdale's valuable tractate on The Sources of Islam.Originally published in Persian this little book deals with thecentral dogma of Islam--the verbal inspiration of its scriptures,and shows how impossible it is to believe that the Koran waswritten in heaven, by exhibiting how much of it is derived fromthe Jewish and Christian scriptures, from the Talmud, and fromsources in Arabian literature prior to Mohammed. A copy of thissimple argument fell into the hands of a Mohammedan moulvie inthe savage land of Swat on our northwestern frontier. He came toPeshawar resolved to test its alleged facts for himself. He foundthem correct, abandoned Islam, and became, along with some othersfrom that system, a convinced Christian. Then appeared the effectsof a Christian government enforcing toleration in matters of belief.Neither this convert nor any of his fellows (I was assured) was indanger of his life even in Peshawar.Take again the city of Cairo, the intellectual center of Islam.When I spent a winter there in 1879 converts from Mohammedan­ism were extremely rare, and it was impossible for them to' con­tinue to live in Egypt or any other part of the Moslem world. Buttwenty-five years later I attended, in the hall of the mission of theAmerican United Presbyterians, a public meeting held periodicallyfor discussion between the adherents of the two religions, at whichI heard a man, who had a few years before been a teacher in thegreat Mohammedan university of El-Azhar but had been convertedto Christianity, present the case for the Christian religion withfervor and ability, and he- was respectfully listened to by a numberof Moslems. Here again the change has been due to the influenceof the same Christian government, not enforcing Christianity butsecuring toleration for all forms of faith.It has of course been very different in the Turkish Empire itself.There the law has prevailed and has generally been enforced thatboth he who leaves Islam and he who converts him to another faithmust be put to. death. By the traditions of centuries Christian'S andMohammedans have been driven into a position of armed neutral­ity; regarding each other with a contempt and hatred that hasperiodically broken out into violent persecution and massacre, Ourdiplomatists and missionaries have alike testified that the conversion338 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEof a follower of Mohammed into a follower of Christ was impossi­ble; that while the upper classes of Moslem society were honey­combed with agnosticism and infidelity, Christianity could makeprogress only among the already Christian populations. But withinthe last few months what a change we have seen! The utterly un­expected has happened. By an almost bloodless revolution thedespotic constitution of Turkey has been altered, and many of themost . essential principles, prejudices, and practices of Islam havebeen abandoned. Women have left their seclusion, formed publicmeetings, and ranged themselves in movements for their freedomand for their education. Christians and Moslems have organizedand agitated in the same ranks. In many places the Moslemmoulvie and the Christian priest have been appointed Iellow-presi­dents of local societies of progress.It is, of course, too soon either to pass judgment on the charac­ter of this astounding movement or to predict its exact results. Butthe change that has been effected i� nothing less than that of thewhole atmosphere in which Islam was born and has flourished forcenturies. That new atmosphere is the opportunity of our faith,and the greatest opportunity which has ever opened to it in theEast since Carey and his fellows began work under the Danishflag in Bengal. Are we ready for such an opening, such a call?Weare ready if we be true in our individual lives and in ourchurch life to our belief that God was in Christ reconciling theworld to himself; that in Christ's teaching we have a fuller, richerknowledge of God, his nature and his purposes for men, than eitherJew, Mohammedan, or Buddhist is possessed of; and that in ourChristian morality, inspired by the example of Christ himself anddeveloped as it has been in the west for nineteen centuries throughour family life and by the ruling virtues of justice and disinter­ested public service, we have both a gospel and a system, a spiritand an indestructible body of habit, for which the population ofAsia and Africa can look to no other religion than our own.THE PRESIDENT'S REPORT FOR THEYEAR 1907-8IN June there appeared from the University of Chicago Press thePresident' s Report for the year 1907-8.

During the year $4 was received for four $1 voting mem­berships and this, together with the balance of' $0.08 over fromlast year, was used by the secretary for his supplies account. Thegrowth of the correpondence has been so large that the secretaryhas had to request a larger amount for this purpose. The sum of$105 appropriated from the funds of The University of ChicagoMagazine for stamps and stationery was exhausted in April.The University has granted approximately 4,750 degrees; inspite of this only a little over eight hundred degree-holders areactive members of The University of Chicago Alumni Association.The efforts of the secretary's office for sever-al ye.ars will bedirected toward increasing this membership list. This is being doneby a close canvass of the Senior class and the city of Chicago; thework of alumni clubs, outside of Chicago, is also expected to stimu­late interest in the Association.BUREAU OF ALUMNI RECORDSIn the course of several years the address lists and records ofthe alumni have become almost obsolete. In order to secure an accu­rate file, a complete reorganization was necessary. A systematic rearangement was planned by Mr. Fairweather, the scheme embracing1 This report, dated June I, 1909, was presented, but not read, at the annualmeeting of the University of Chicago Alumni Association.341342 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGA'ZINEthe following details: ( I) An entirely new system of alumnirecords; (2) The circularizing of the alumni to secure correct ad­dresses and statistics of importance : (3) The publication of a newalumni directory; (4) The maintenance of a bureau of alumnirecords, to continue the correction of the files and to issue anew directory every two years.On December 7, the President of the University placed at thedisposal of the secretary $600, which was intended to put into opera­tion the first two parts of the scheme. Accordingly, using one fileas a basis, the following files were begun: ( I) A file of all gradu­ates, alphabetically arranged; (2) A file of all graduates, geograph­ically arranged; (3) A file of all bachelors, by classes; (4) Aspecial file for all degrees granted by the Law School; (5) Aspecial file for all degrees granted by the Divinity School; (6) Afile for all degrees granted by the Graduate Schools; (7) A file fordeceased graduate's.The expense attendant on this reorganization has been dis­tributed up to the present time as follows:Installation of files, including cabinets, cards, and clerical work4,750 circular letters, including printing, multigraphing, stamping, in­closing, filling in blanks from records, and sending stamped envelopefor reply • 285.24$212.25Total $497.49With the exception of about 100 letters to persons whose ad­dresses were not given on the University records, the circularizingof the alumni was completed May 1. The blanks asked for infor­mation on the occupation of the alumnus, degrees from other univer­sities, vital statistics, literary activities, membership in societies ofstanding, and public offices. A line attached to the blank askedwhether or not the recipient desired a copy of the new directory,cost not to exceed $0.75. The result of this canvass up to June I,has been as follows:Replies received .Orders for the directoryLetters returned, marked "incorrect address"The principal work of the Bureau for 'some months will centeraround an effort t.o locate the alumni whose addresses are incorrecton the records, and to secure a response from those who evidentlyhave received the letters and have not answered. Addresses thatcannot be located directly and by follow-up letters will be securedREPORT OF ALUMNI SECRETARY 343through friends, former classmates, and at former places of resi­dence.In this work the secretary asks the kind co-operation of all thealumni. When alumni change their residence or occupation theyshould drop a card to the secretary, so that the files can be kept com­plete. If the files are to be of any service at all, they must beaccurate, and they can be made so only through the active co-opera­tion of every alumnus. N either can the proposed directory be pub­lished -until this office knows that it will be as accurate as it ispossible to make it. Alumni who already have sent in their orderfor the book are asked to be patient until all the necessary addressescan be located, in the interests of a comprehensive and thoroughlyuseful directory.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEIn October, 1908, the combination of the Chicago Alumni M aga­sine and the Un.iversity Record was effected, the direction of thenew publication being given the Alumni Association. Mr. Benja­min Wilk, whose efficient work on the Chicago Alumni M ogaeinequalified him for the position, was made business manager. Acontract was drawn up with the University of Chicago Press by theterms of which $4,725 was set aside for manufacturing, salaries,and supplies. Seven numbers have been issued since the agree­ment was made, and the eighth number, which will complete thevolume, is in press.It is believed on all sides that the M agaeine, combining thesalient features of the Record and the Chicago Alumni Magazine,can be made representative of the best interests of the Universityof Chicago, and that in time it will be an effective agent in unitingalumni everywhere, bringing them into closer touch with the Asso­dation of which they are a part, and with the institution fromwhich they received their degrees. While the M aga:zine has notyet contributed to the treasury of the Association, it has repaid allconnected with it manifold in the fact that many graduates havegiven it a warm welcome, and that secretaries of the alumni clubsand the other alumni associations of the University have given theirhelp freely. The Magazine is indebted especially to Dr. H. E.Slaught, to Dr. E. J. Goodspeed, and to Mr. R. E. Schreiber forreports from the Law and Divinity associations and the Doctorsof Philosophy throughout the year.344 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEThe continued progress of the Mtigaeine is dependent, how­ever, on the active support of every alumnus. Again the secretarybespeaks the cordial help of every graduate. The best form thatthis can take is a new name on the subscription list. The Magazineis an official organ; it prints the official reports of the Convocations;the President's Quarterly Statement; important contributions frommembers of the faculty; articles by alumni, and reports of theactivities of alumni everywhere.ALUMNI CLUBSAn alumni club in any city of the United States is a nucleus ofUniversity of Chicago spirit working for the best interests of ourAlma Mater. Too much cannot be said for the alumni who havedevoted their time liberally to the building up of these clubs,Since the last report six new groups have formed and elected officers-Philadelphia, Rock Island, Rockford, Pittsburg, Milwaukee, andTokyo, making a total of seventeen. Reunions have been held inN ew York, Pittsburg, Seattle, Washington, Milwaukee, Rock Island,and Denver. Members of the faculty have been earnest in theirdesire to help. During the year, President judson, Dean Vincent,Dean Mathews, Professor Coulter, and Professor Clark spoke atalumni gathering3.In several cities where many Chicago alumni live, movementsare on foot to form new clubs. Graduates in Toledo, Kalamazoo,Kansas City, Mo., and San Francisco are working to effect organi­zation. Experience has shown that it takes about one year for aclub to become established. In the effort to build up these clubs,this office is ready to assist alumni anywhere to the fullest extent.Members of the faculty are ready to give their services for reunions.Alumni in Des Moines, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, Kan­sas City, Kan., and other places where many Chicago graduates arelocated, should co-operate with the Association in this work. Plansfor organization will be furnished, reunions arranged for, andspeakers secured.Mr. George O. Fairweather, '07, resigned his position a'S secre­tary in January, 1909, taking that of assistant to the BusinessManager of the University. The conduct of this office since thattime has been along the lines so carefully laid down during hisadrninistra tion.THE NE:ED OF MORE REQUIREDWORK IN PHYSICALTRAININGBY HORACE BUTTERWORTH, '98Director of Physical Culture, Lafayette CollegeIN the introduction to his book on educational reform PresidentEliot of Harvard University speaks of the slowness with whichchanges are made in educational affairs, and calls attention to thefact that many improvements for which he now pleads were set forthby him, and reoognized as necessary by many educators, as earlyas 1869. This excessive conservatism is nowhere better illustratedthan in the attitude of college authorities toward physical training.Harvard, Yale, and Amherst built gymnasia in I 860, and at thesame time Amherst established a department of physical education,making gymnastics a compulsory part of college work; yet thes,eexamples had little effect on other institutions. Since the war,and especially since the completion of the Hemenway Gymnasiumat Harvard, in 1880, there has been much building of gymnasia,a wonderful growth of interest in athletics, and a general accept­ance of the theory that physical exercise is essential to' the well­being of the body. Attendance upon gymnasium classes two orthree times a week has been made compulsory for Freshmen andSophomores in most colleges, but I think our own University isstill alone in the sensible requirement of attendance throughout thefour years of college life.Everyone recognizes that the school years are those in whichNature has decreed that mind and body shall come to maturity.History testifies that a majority of the world's great men have beenstrong. physically, as well as mentally-they have had muscularpower, endurance, and grit or determination, as well as highlydeveloped brains. The circumstances 'Of our age remove thousandsof boys and yoU?g men, in school and college, from the necessaryphysical labor of preceding generations, and provide them with nosubstitute but the activities of the gymnasium and the athletic field.No general attempt has been made to have all students takepart in athletic games, largely because space in which to play islacking at most institutions. The gymnasium is expected to do all,345346 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEand more, than farm chores and athletics have done for physicaldevelopment in the past. Under present conditions and require­ments it cannot do this. No farmer's, son and no athlete everdeveloped the strength, vigor, and endurance for which they areknown by doing about thirty minutes muscular work three or fourtimes a week.If the college is to perform its whole duty, it must develop andtrain the body proportionately with the mind. Physical maturityis reached in approximately twenty-five years, but mental growthis not thus limited, and if, during school years, the training of eithermind or body is to be emphasized at the expense of the one or theother, certainly the physical side should not be the one neglected.The gymnasium now represents in concrete form the concep­tion of the whole duty of an institution toward the great majorityof its students as regards their physical welfare. Under theclearer conception of that duty to which I have called attention­a conception which, I am sure, at some time or other will be incor­porated in the curriculum, the work of the gymnasium must bevastly increased, in quantity and quality, the amount ranging fromthirty minutes three times a week for a few, to two hours daily forall classes.Parents who wish their children to make the most of theiropportunities for physical development and mental training takeinfinite pains to surround them at all times with an atmosphere ofhappiness. J oyousness is to the body and mind what the sun isto the vegetable kingdom. In its light, the human plant will growand blossom with a vigor and beauty quite-unknown to those whoseatmosphere is either distinctly unhappy or negative.This most important truth should be the key that determineswhat form of exercise is to be given to students and how it is tobe taught. Instructors in physical training should be impressedwith the necessity of studying their material to the end that theycan present substantial, varied, and interesting changes with asmuch facility, and to as good purpose, as a high-salaried chefpresents changes of menu.The increase of work to two hours daily and the presentation ofwork in such a way that every lesson shall conduce directly tojoyousness of spirit will, I am sure, make for a development ofboth mind and body of the student far more rapid, full, and vigorous,than at present obtains.A NEW VOLUME IN EUROPEANHISTORYUNDER the title of The Wars of Religion in France, 1559-1576-with the descriptive subtitle of "The Huguenots, Cather­ine de Medici, and Philip II"-a volume of six hundred andfifty pages, by James Westfall Thompson, Associate Professor ofEuropean History,' was recently issued from the University ofChicago Pres's.In the preface the author says:No one acquainted with the history of historical writing can have failed toobserve how transitory are its achievements. Mark Pattison's aphorism that"history is one of the most ephemeral forms of literature" has much of truth init. The reasons of this are not far to seek. In the first place, the most labo­rious historian is doomed to be superseded in course of time by the accumu­lation of new material. In the second place, the point of view and the inter­pretation of one generation varies from that which preceded it, so that eachgeneration .requires a rewriting of history in terms of its own interest. Thesereasons must be my excuse for venturing to write a new book upon an oldsubject.Among the headings of the eighteen chapters are the following:"The Beginning of the Huguenot Revolt," "Catherine de Medicibetween Guise and Conde," "The States-General of Orleans," "TheFormation of the Triumvirate," "The First Civil War," "The Warwith England," "Early Local and Provincial Catholic Leagues,""The Tour of the Provinces," "The Massacre of St. Bartholomew,""The Last Days of Charles IX," and "Henry III and the Poil­tiques." The volume is concluded with genealogical tables, valua­ble appendices of hitherto unpublished documents, and an indexof thirty pages, and is illustrated with twenty-four maps and plates.347THE UNIVERSITY RECORDProfessor Ernest D.

From Ichang theyproceeded by houseboat through thefamous gorges of the+-Yangtze, thehouseboat. being dragged by cooliesthrough the rapids. Arriving atWanhsien, March I9, they left theriver, striking overland for Chentu.This journey was made in chairscarried by coolies, the nights being'spent in Chinese inns. .The partyleft Wanhsien March 20, andreached Chentu April 3.

Hethen studied in the Harvard LawSchool and practiced law afterwardin Lincoln, Neb., until 1899. In thatyear he was made an assistant pro­fessor of law in the University ofNebraska, and in 1901 was appointeda member of the commission thatfor two years sat as a division ofthe Nebraska Supreme Court to dis­pose of the work in arrears. At theclose of this service, in 1903, Pro­fessor Pound was made dean of thelaw department of the University ofNebraska, from which position hewas called to a professorship of lawin Northwestern University in 1907.During his connection with the law 349school there, he has also been editor­in-chief of the Illinois Law Review.Professor Pound has taken greatinterest in various legal reforms,particularly in the improvement ofjudicial procedure, and has writtenand spoken forcibly upon thesetopics, for the discussion of whichhis varied experience at the bar,upon the bench, and as a teacher hasbeen an unusual preparation. He hasserved as chairman of the Sectionof Legal Education of the AmericanBar Association, and is at presenta member of the standing committeeof that body upon legal education;he is a member of the National Con­ference of Commissioners on Uni­form State Laws; is chairman ofthe' City Club committee upon theAdministration of Justice, and waschairman of the National Confer­ence on Criminal Law and Crimi­nology just held in Chicago in June.The addition of Professor Poundto the Faculty of the Law Schoolmakes possible several changes inthe work of the School. The first­year classes that have now growntoo large to be conveniently taughtin one section, will be divided intotwo divisions during the AutumnQuarter, allowing greater attentionto the individual needs of beginningstudents.Professor Pound will give thecourses in Equity, Evidence, Crimi­nal Law, and Mortgages; ProfessorWhittier will give two new coursesin Code Pleading and Equity Plead­ing; Professor Bigelow will giveQuasi-Contracts; and, after nextyear, Dean Hall will give bothcourses in Constitutional Law. It isalso likely that Professor Freund'swork will be arranged so that hewill be in residence regularly duringthe Summer Quarter.THE FACULTIESPresident Harry Pratt Judson wasre-elected to the presidency of theNorthern Baptist Convention inPortland, Ore., on June 29.The degree of Doctor of Divinitywas conferred by Brown Universityon Associate Professor Gerald B.Smith, of the Department of Syste-350 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEmatic Theology, at its commence­ment on June 16.Professor John M.

This means that inseventeen cities of the United States-and in two abroad-centers of Uni­versity of Chicago interest havebeen formed by loyal graduates whoare anxious that her work shall beknown in their own particular terri­tory. To broaden the sphere of theUniversity's influence; to makeknown what opportunities are offeredthe student and the scholar; to buildup. a nt!cle�s that will support theUniversity In greater undertakingsyet to come, these make up the bestwork that an alumni club can aim todo.To the secretaries who in the lastyear have worked to organize andextend the influence of these clubsthe Association owes a debt of grati­tude. The officers are well awarethat this has not always beenan easy task. I t has required manyhours devoted to visiting alumniarranging for meetings, conductingreco_rds and planning future work.Business men have given their helpgladly; members of the faculties ofother universities have maintainedtheir interest in these clubs in spiteof the fact that they were connectedwith other institutions. of learning;alumnae of the University haveope?ed the!r homes cheerfully forSOCIal reurnons. All this has con­tributed to keeping alumni interestsalive from coast to coast.For the new year the Associationlooks forward to a still wider ex­pansion of alumni interests. At thesame time that the graduates inand about Chicago are being broughtcloser together, alumni centers arebeing formed in large cities of theUnited States.

It was felt that more goodcould be accomplished by working!ogether on one line than by cover­m� the same ground separately. The?1110n .of all the organizations wasirnpossible ; hence the AlumniCouncil, made up �f delegates fromeach association, was devised.. P!ans are on foot for early organ­ization.

For a town of 12,000people Gary probably comes nearerbeing the Mecca of college studentsthan any other place in the UnitedStates. There are about five hun­dred college men in the trades andprofessions. From two hundred andfifty to three hundred students areemployed at the steel plant. .Thegraduates of technical colleges in thiscountry and Europe are responsiblefor the wonderful innovations at theIndiana steel works, which will prac­tically revolutionize the manufactureof steel in all its forms. These menare daily carrying out the instruc­tions of a great corporation to buildthe most complete steel-making plantin the world.The fusion of different collegeinterests in Gary makes a mostinteresting study. The college menhave one of the most active organi- zations in Gary, the University Club.Even before the plant was put intooperation-while the town was stillin its "'pioneer" state-universitygraduates formed the club, whichnow has a membership of more thanone hundred. Its members alreadyrepresent more than seventy-five col­leges including the Universities ofVienna, Altenburg, Leipzig, Toronto,Chicago, Yale, Harvard, Rutgers,Cornell, Columbia, Northwestern,Illinois, Indiana, Purdue, Wabash,Ohio State, Pennsylvania, BostonTech, Vanderbilt, Grant, Wisconsin,Michigan, DePauw, Iowa, Missouri,and Texas.In addition to the University Clubsome fifty of the technical men ofthe steel plant have organized theTech Club, which permits only tech­nical workers to become members.The University Club admits profes­sional and business men as well assteel employees.Any number of college graduatesare doing the most menial kinds oflabor in the plant today, because theysee the chance to advance. Theywork in the "soaking pits," the ashand cinder pits, where the dirtiestwork has to be done, surrounded bythe lowest class of Hungarians, Ser­vians, and Slavs. Their pay is figuredby the hour; 18 cents and less everysixty minutes. If they get sick orstay away from work their wagesare just 18 cents less for every hourthat they are absent. These menhave given up better positions in theEast in order to pursue their questfor experience in the new plant, eventhough it be in the midst of grimeand dust.Gary already has a full complementof lawyers, doctors, dentists, and otherprofessional men, but more are com­ing into the town every week, forthe population is expected to reachthe roo.ooo mark in a few years,when there will be room for all.The bar association is composed offifty-five lawyers, the medical societyhas forty members, and the dentalsociety has six members. Phy­sicians know that in a mill townthere is a large percentage of acci­dents. Lawyers know that there willbe much litigation in a new townDISCUSSION AND COMMENTwhere real estate sales are maderapidlv. Inquiries into questionabletitles and the examination of ab- ..stracts means a livelihood for a num­ber of attorneys regardless of thepractice that will come to leach fromother sources. The remark is oftenheard that it will be a matter of onlya few years until the professionalpractice will be in the hands of af.ew competent men. This is doubt­less true. Whether or not a manstays depends upon his own effortsand ability.The view men take of their occu­pations varies. One college man, nota graduate of the University of Chi­cago, said recently: "There is abso­lutely no chance for a man to get upin the world while working for a bigcorporation. There is too much poli­tics. The man ahead of you has moreof a pull and he is jealous and triesto hold you back." In the vernacularof the mills, this is the philosophy ofthe man who "burns out." He givesup before he is fairly started. Amore wholesome attitude is con­tained in the following remark of aworker in the mills: "I would nottake anything for the experience Ihave acquired during my eighteenmonth's employment in the plant. Ifeel now that I can go out into theworld and conquer absolutely anydifficulty in the line of work I havebeen pursuing. I have gotten my ex­perience and the man above me hasbeen responsible for its outcome andhas done the worrying." This is themore representative feeling.MARC N. GOODNOW} ex-'o9[Mr. Goodnow is connected with theGary Tribune, the newspaper editedby Homer J.

The expense attendant on thesending out of these letters, the ex­penses of class social functions, andthe expense incidental to Class Daymake up the bulk of the money paidout. All the subscriptions were for$4 50 except one for $5.00. Thefigures follow:II 7 subscriptions $527.00Expendi tures I 10.40Balance to Memorial Fund $416.60The balance has been paid to Dr.Goodspeed.I might add that several membersof the class, knowing that the moneywas eventually going to the HarperMemoria! Fund, sent their subscrip­tions direct to Dr. Goodspeed with­out sending it first to me. I knowof two such cases. At the beginningof the year, at my suggestion, Dr.Goodspeed very kindly took uponhimself the work of attempting toget subscriptions from those mem­bers who had not yet paid. I havenot yet heard how successful he hasbeen, but I expect the final totalpaid over by the class to be muchlarger than the amount indicated inmy figures above. It is my hope,and, I am sure, the hope of everymember of the class, that the figuresmay eventually reach $600, whichamount is said to cover the bronzetablet of Dr. Harper, to be placedin the Memorial Library.My books and papers have beenturned over to Dr. Goodspeed, who,I am sure, would be glad to showthem to anyone who wishes to ex­amine them.PAUL BUHLIG, '08Treasurer of the classCorvallis} Moni., April I7} I909SENIOR CLASS DAYUNDERGRADUATE LIFEentirely original rules and the taskof umpire therefore proved some­what hazardous.

HANSEN, PH.B., '09, SecretaryAlumni who have been there be­fore-and they, surely, ought toknow-will tell you that AlumniDay, 1909, was the most successfulin the history of the Association.The large numbers of "Old-Timers"attending the track meet, the inter­est shown in the women's indoorbaseball game, out-of-doors, and theenthusiasm displayed at the fast andfurious ball game between the PastCentury stars on the one hand andAl Hopkins' swift bunch of Twen­tieth-Century-ites on the other, andlastly, the attendance at the alumnidinner in Hutchinson Hall in theevening, at which 232 plates wereserved, all go to prove that this is noidle assertion. As the closing eventson Convocation Day the alumniactivities formed a fitting comple­ment to an auspicious series of exer­cises, and demonstrated that the de­cision of the executive committee,changing the day from Saturday toTuesday, was most wise.If resolutions of thanks are inorder, they should go, first of all, tothe elusive weather god who dis­pelled the cool, damp atmosphere ofthe previous day and opened thefloodgates of sunshine and warmth.This was responsible for many extrareservations for the dinner late inthe afternoon. Without the beauti­ful day the track meet on MarshallField would have been impossible.Secondly, the resolutions should callattention to the work of an efficientcommittee of the day from the classof 1904, composed of Theodore B.Hinckley, chairman; Edward Eicher,Arthur Lord, Edward Ferris, LeoWormser, Arthur Young, and OliverWyman, and assisted by the com­mittees in charge of track athletics,the baseball game, and the women'sevents on the field. All classes, from 1893 down, wererepresented at the annual dinner at7 o'clock in Hutchinson Hall. Grad­uates of the old University of Chi­cago, from as far back as the classof 1865, mingled with the younger. men and helped swell this enthusi-astic demonstration of Chicago goodcheer. At the speaker's table satPresident John F. Hagey, '98; at hisright, the guests of the evening,President Harry Pratt Judson, As­sistant Professor J ames Weber Linn,'97, and Major Edgar B. Tolman,'80; at his left William P. Mac­Cracken, '09, speaker for the newestclass to join the ranks of thealumni; Theodore B. Hinckley, '04�,chairman of the day, and the com­mittee of the day.The committee was most fortu­nate in the make-up of its pro­gramme for the dinner. The talks'followed each other with rapidity;the speakers presented their subj ectsin bright, interesting phraseology thatkept the audience eagerly attentive.For the second time that day Presi­dent Judson spoke in HutchinsonHall. His address was welcomedwith enthusiasm by old and younggraduates. Dean Linn, speaking forthe younger alumni, recalled the factthat twelve years before he had per­formed the same office at the alumnimeeting. His address sparkledwith brilliant wit and good-humoredsatire. Maj or Tolman, representingthe older graduates, chose for histheme the duty of the American citi­zen in politics, while William P. Mac­Cracken, president of the class of1909, presented the viewpoint of thenewest members in the Alumni As­sociation.Under the new programme theplace for the business meeting hadbeen left largely to chance, so thatit came directly after the dinner, and363THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEbefore the toasts. President John F.Hagey, '98, read the report of thecommittee which canvassed the votescast in the annual election, announc­ing that Warren Palmer Behan,'94, d '97, Ph.D. '99, had been chosenpresident for the new year. This re­port is printed in full elsewhere.Burt Brown Barker, '97, presentedthe report of the committee appointedtwo years ago to. revise the consti­tution, and moved its adoption. Themotion was carried. The chiefchanges eliminate the dues, andmake the name of the Associationread "The University of ChicagoCollege Alumni Association," itsmembership to be composed of allwho have received a degree from theColleges of Arts, Philosophy, andScience. By this plan the Associa­tion is placed on a par with the asso­ciations formed by the law anddivinity graduates, and the Doctorsof Philosophy, and will be a part ofthe central alumni council to beformed by these co-operating bodies.By resolution the president and sec­retary of the Association were in­structed to represent its interests inthe formation of the council.A merry throng enjoyed the alumnidance on the second floor of theReynolds Club from 9 o'clock tillmidnight. Older graduates gatheredabout the landings and discussed theappearance of the campus "when Icame here." The alumni room inMitchell Tower was thrown open tothe men who wished to smoke, butthe smoker was notable chiefly forthe attendance of alumni like A. L.Hopkins, 'oS, Theodore B. Hinckley,'04, and Edward Eicher, '04, who in­sisted that they were abstainers.The alumni track meet was thefirst of its kind. It brought backnumbers of old stars, who competedto establish what will be known here­after as the alumni records. Thereis still 'considerable difference ofopinion among those competing inregard to the number of world'srecords broken, but all agree that theevent was the most interesting inyears, and that they will come backnext June to win new honors beforea still larger crowd of cheering spec­tators. The track meet was won by the class of 1905. Principal partici­pants were Ernie Quantrell, winnerof the mile run; Hugo Friend, '06,who took the dash and the hurdlesbut lost the broad jump to GeorgeSchobinger, '05; Fred Speik, 'cs, whoput the shot an incredible distance,so far that it has not yet been meas­ured; Edwin Ferris, '04, who. cap­tured the high jump and the stand­ing broad jump, and Leo Wilkins,who outdistanced all competitors bytaking the pole vault at 16 feet, 6inches, according to the officialrecords.The Twentieth-Century baseballteam, under Al L. Hopkins, 'as, wonfrom the Nineteenth-Century men bya score of 9 to 5 only after aspirited battle in which the game wasnot decided until the final inning.Hopkins' opponents under Chas.Winston, '96, included such fast baserunners as A. A. Stagg, AbrahamBowers, and James Weber Linn, '97.Fred Walker, Dan Dougherty, andHenneberry, came out for theyounger alumni and gave a good ac­count of themselves.The Varsity women won the dayagainst the Alumnae in the ball gameon the other side of Marshall Fieldby a score of 12 to 4, largely throughthe efforts of Florence Lawson andMargaret Sullivan. Mabel Leepitched for the Alumnae. Marie Ort­mayer, '06, was chairman of thecommittee in charge of alumnaeathletics, assisted by KatharineSlaught, '09, Ethel Preston, '09, andHelen Freeman, 'as. The Alumnaecommittee. on publicity was composedof Marie Thompson, '04, Mrs.George Howells, Dorothy Duncan,'04, Lauretta Octagon, and GraceReddy, '04.ADDRESS TO THE SENIOR CLASSThe conduct of the Senior chapelexercises on Tuesday, June 8, wasgiven the Alumni Association. BurtBrown Barker, '97, made the annualaddress to the graduates, settingforth the aims of the Associationand emphasizing the fact that theUniversity needs the active help ofevery man and woman who holdsher degree. He declared that, asthey had received so liberally all theTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO ALUMNI ASSOCIATION 365best that the University could givethem, it was fitting that they shouldreturn her interest in as liberal ameasure as they could. Mr. Barkerexplained how the Alumni Associa­tion is cementing this interest of thegraduates and becoming a great in­fluence for the good of the Uni­versity and asked their support asactive members.Leo Wormser, '04, a member ofthe Alumni Day committee, spoke tothe Seniors in Haskell Assembly Hallon June I, outlining the work of theAssociation, and asking that the Sen­iors display their interest by a largeattendance at the alumni dinner. Hisrequest was promptly responded to,all those present making reservationsfor seats at the dinner.WITH THE ALUMNI CLUBSTHE OREGON ALUMNI CLUBNinety-four University of Chicagoalumni and former students met ata banquet at the Perkins Hotel inPortland, Ore., on the evening ofJuly I to organize the OregonAlumni Club.

BENNINGHOFF} '06-'07SecretaryTHE CHICAGO ALUMNAE CLUBIn place of the regular springmeeting, the University of ChicagoAlumnae Club was entertained onMarch 27 by Miss Mary MacDowellat the University of Chicago Settle­ment at a reception and tea, fol­lowed by an interesting programme.The subj ect for discussion wasthe relation of the Settlement to thewomen graduates of the University.Generally, upon graduation, all con­nection with the University is broken,and then follows a lack of interestin those things which for four yearsdominated the student's life. Itseemed to the alumnae that the Uni­versity of Chicago Settlement shouldbe the connecting bond between thelife of the University and the newlife entered upon leaving college. Inview of this, the club accepted theoffer so kindly tendered by the Uni­versity of Chicago Settlement Boardto have a member from this organi­zation upon its board, electing MissLouise Roth. Speakers for the after­noon were Mrs. W. D. MacClintock,Miss Jane Addams, Dr. Janson San­gille, and Miss Marion Talbot. MissSprague led the children's chorus.It is hoped that all women gradu­ates of the University of Chicagowho are interested in Settlementwork will join the club and becomemembers of a Settlement committee.Those wishing to join such a com­mittee are asked to send their namesand addresses to the secretary at224% Warren Ave.LOUISE ROTH} '00SecretaryTHE NORTHWEST ALUMNI CLUBThe following alumni and formerstudents have recently been added tothe membership of the NorthwestAlumni Club at Seattle: Grace K.McKibben, 'os. and Irene M.

I t was not "college life,"all those things vi tal to the under­graduate heart, which this universitysuggested. She fancied there mightbe things the undergraduate wouldmiss here; she was even a little gladher own college days had been spentat the smaller school. As she stoodlooking about at building upon build­ing she had visions, not of boys andgirls singing their college songs, butof men and women working their waytoward truth. She looked from onered roof to another, and each buildingseemed to her a channel throughwhich men were working ahead to thelight. It was a place for research, forstriving for new knowledge, for clear­ing the way.Furthermore the book must com­mend itself to every college man andwoman for the author's keen appre­ciation of the painstaking, unremit­ting search for new truths that isbeing carried 011 every day in thelaboratories, unheralded and un­known. To all who read it therewill also come the wider appeal ofthe great unselfish love of a girl offinely developed, artistic sympathies,for a physician who goes blind whileat work in the university labora­ter ies. The story of her sacrificesfor him make up the bulk of whatis an exceptionally powerful novelamong spring fiction. Miss GlaspeUat one time took work in Englishat the University. This, her firstbook, is published by Frederick A.Stokes Co.CAPTAIN MAHAN'S BOOKCaptain A. T. Mahan enters a newfield with his most recent book, TheHarvest Within, a series of "thoughtson the life of a Christian." Theauthor of The Influence of SeaP ower and numerous other booksdealing with naval history gives inthis volume the observations that have come to a man who has alwaysacted righteously in the combat oflife, and who records experiences inreligious thought that may benefitothers. I t is a collection of scat­tered thoughts, in orderly arrange­ment, on the mystical relation of theindividual life of the Christian man,and the corporate life of the Chris­tian church, to the life of God inJesus Christ. Captain Mahan'schapter topics are "Power,", "Like­ness," "Intercourse," "Fulfilment,"and "Hope." An address entitled"The Practical in Christianity" isincluded in the volume. Little,Brown & Co. are the publishers.Berthold Louis Ullman, '03, Ph.D.,'08, has published a monograph ofsixty-four pages on The I dentifica­tion of the Manuscripts of Catullus.BOOKS RECEIVEDBel, the Christ of Ancient Times.By Hugo Radau.
