April 2 the deans in the colleges received instructions toregister no more students, as all coursesfor freshmen were by that time full. Theimpossibility of supplying either more instruction or more classrooms made furtherexpansion out of the question. A committee is now at work on the problem of limiting the freshman registration for next year.The easiest and simplest methods are (1)to refuse admission to any students whohave a high school average of less than acertain high percentage, and (2) to limit theregistration of women to a fixed number,as is done at Stanford. The objections toboth plans, however, are so many thatneither, at least in its simple form, is likelyto be adopted.S3A recent action of the faculty of thecolleges in regard to modern languages hasa bearing on this matter ofAmputating attendance. Hereafter, theElementary first year of French andFrench Spanish (courses 1 and 2)will not be given in the university. Course 3 will be maintained fora while, but it also is expected presentlyto be discarded. This means that a studentwho wishes French or Spanish in the university but had none in preparatory schoolmust take the elementary work outside hiscollege course. The University High Schoolwill offer an opportunity of doing so, for hours and courses are to be arranged therewhich will correspond to the universityschedule; but- the courses so taken will notcount for college credit. The reasons forthis action are partly theoretical (and thesereasons the Magazine will discuss later)and partly practical. The pressure oh thedepartment of romance languages is veryheavy. So much instruction has had to beturned to elementary work that higher workhas suffered. The result of the action willbe that some students who would like tocome here will go elsewhere, that Germaninstead of romance languages will be moreconsiderably elected, and that the difficulties of registration of freshmen will beincreased. But the vote of the faculty toadopt the plan was practically unanimous.mWinter athletics at the university havebeen somewhat tumultuous. The basketball team lost the nationalPlenty intercollegiate championshipGoing On to Pennsylvania; the baseball team, having gone toJapan, has cancelled its spring schedule;and the track team suffered one of theworst defeats in its history in the indoorConference Championships. The basketball series with Pennsylvania was a sadaffair. The championship turned on thedifference, between eastern and western interpretation of fouls. At Philadelphia, ninefouls were called on Chicago in the firstfive minutes, and thereafter the game became somewhat farcical. At Princeton,where a western referee was used in oneTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEhalf and an eastern in the other, the question of fouls was not so acute, but dominated the game, nevertheless. Pennsylvania, however, threw one more basketthan Chicago, and won the game by thattwo points. The annual meeting of thebasketball rules committee is always heldin New York. As a result, few westernmen attend, and the interpretation of therules has drifted apart in the two sections.If inter-sectional series are to be held, arrangements will have to be made to remedythis drift apart. pllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllUllllllllllllllllllllllNIIIIIIUUUilllllllllllilllllllUI'lTHESECRETOFYOUTHlies in attendingThe catastrophe — it was no less — whichovertook the track team was due almostaltogether to lack of condi-The tion. Otis, Bowers, MooreTrack Team and Bartky, middle and longin Splints distance men. were all in badshape; MacDonald, sprinter,could not run at all; and Higgins, thoughhe won the shot put, was in wretchedshape. The reasons for this lack of condition have been discussed by an alumnusand Mr. Stagg in the Maroon. Mr. Eck,the trainer, has been sick for a long time;Johnson, the well-known "Johnny," hasnot yet been discharged from the army; theboard track in the gymnasium has twistedvarious legs and battered down variousarches; and the result has been chaos. Forsome reason or other, also, the equipmentof the team has not been kept up; goodshoes and even good liniment, have beenhard for the men to get. At their best,however, they would not have had aChinaman's chance at Evanston, withMichigan and Illinois at top form. Michigan is too much Johnson; but Illinois, especially her middle distance runners, are apretty lot to match. At the Penn relays,Mr. Stagg will center on the two-mile, andif the execrable weather ever gives achance for practice, should turn out a teamthat will shade eight minutes. It will notwin, but it will hump itself. As for thebaseball team's Japan trip, the most interesting figure on it is Curtis, who, whenhe returns, will probably go to Hollandfor the Olympic games, which will givehim the long-distance athletic record — toPhiladelphia with the basketball team, toJapan with the baseball team, and to Antwerp with the track team, a total of some27,000 miles in four months, representingthree branches of athletics.

Of course, subscriptions from graduates of other departments and from all former students arewelcome; but it is natural that at this timewe should look primarily to the collegegraduates to make the fund a gratifyingsuccess. With subscriptions now around$75,000, and about $30,000 paid in, the committee aims to announce at the comingreunion a total of at least $100,000 subscribed. It is the college subscriptionsthat can make this possible.There are approximately 8,000 collegegraduates and, to date, about 400 collegesubscriptions; in other words, the collegesubscriptions thus far are only about 5per cent of the fullest possibilities. Noalumni body, however well organized,however strong the appeal, expects a 100per cent subscription; but surely our present 5 per cent subscription is in no wayrepresentative of the interest and loyaltyof so large a body of college-"Chicagoans."A glance at some statistics given on thispage will reveal some enormous sums thatalumni of other institutions are seeking toraise; the entire alumni body of a numberof these institutions, too, is less than ourtotal of college graduates alone. Even allowing for a difference in the nature of theappeal, the amount we are seeking, ascompared to theirs, is indeed modest. Ifthey can succeed we certainly can — andwill.The obligation to subscribe, and to helpotherwise, falls upon each of us equally.A subscriber has, furthermore, five yearsin which to pay a subscription.If you have not subscribed, do so now.If you have subscribed, get at least onesubscription from some "Chicago" friendof yours who ought to be enrolled. Wehave made a very successful start. Letevery one do just a part of his share — letus get together and "put it over" now!

It has beenestimated that altogether American universities and colleges are endeavoring to raiseabout $200,000,000. Taking into consideration the great value of the services rendered by such institutions to the nationat large, as well as to their own students,this is none too much.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEAlumni Fund ArticlesARTICLES GOVERNINGThe University of Chicago Alumni FundName: The Fund hereby created shall beknown as The University of Chicago AlumniFund.Purposes: The Fund, created for educational purposes, shall be maintained to further the purposes of the University, Alumniactivities and University interests.Management of the Fund: Title to theFund and the administration and management thereof shall be vested in the AlumniCouncil, or such other body as may at anytime succeed the Council.Membership: The Council may createclasses of membership and prescribe theterms thereof.Directors of the Fund: The Fund shallbe directed by nine Directors of whom fiveshall be members of the Council.Of the five Directors from the AlumniCouncil, one shall be the President of theCouncil for the time being, whose term ofoffice as Director of the Fund shall be coextensive with his term of office as President of the Council.

Judson-,'08, about 30 Chicago alumni, with theirwives and husbands, met last Friday(March 19) evening for dinner at Tait'sRestaurant in San Francisco.Professor C. A. Huston, '02, presidedand after the dinner introduced the speakerof the evening, Professor R. A. Millaken,who acquitted himself most gracefully ofthe after-dinner honors. He recounted tous the never-old ideals of the university,pictured its recent progress, and set forthvividly and impressively the needs of thepresent to enable it to perpetuate and enlarge its already noble achievements.Following the address it was proposedto form a University of Chicago Club. Although the number present was small inproportion to the total of resident alumni,the sentiment was unanimous that it wasdesirable to form an organization to beknown as "The University of Chicago Clubof Northern California." It was so decidedand the following officers elected: President, Russell Lowry, Ph. B., 1901, Vice-President of the American National Bank,San Francisco; Vice-President, Paul K.Judson, Ph. B., 1908, 901 Phelan Bid., SanFrancisco; Secretary-Treasurer, Leonas L.Burlingame, Ph. D., 1908, Stanford University. The officers were then empowered toselect two additional members of the Executive Committee and to arrange for another meeting in the near future, probablyin June.The meeting then informally adjournedto renew old acquaintances and make newones. If auditory evidence is of any valuethis part of the program was also eminently successful. Whether the guest ofhonor learned anything new about "super-sonics," as it would seem he might, maypossibly be doubted but certain it is that it(Continued on page 235)THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEAccounting Courses in the Commerce School IBy James 0. McKinsey, 1Instructor of Accounting in the School of Commerce and Administration j[James Oscar McKinsey, the author of this articleon "Accounting Courses in the Commerce School/'obtained his LL.B. at the University of Arkansas in1913. and the degree of B.C.S., at St. Louis University, in 1916. In 1916 he obtained the degree ofPh.B. at the University of Chicago, and since 1917has been Instructor in the School of Commerce andAdministration. His article on Accounting Courseswill no doubt prove of considerable interest to thealumni.]When courses in accounting were firstorganized as a part of the college curriculum there were no separately organizedschools of commerce whose avowed purpose was the training of students for administrative positions in business. Recently,however, such schools of commerce havebeen organized in connection with most ofthe universities of even moderate size andthe courses in accounting are invariably apart of the curricula of these schools. Sincethen it would seem that the function of thecurricula of the schools of commerce, itwould seem that the function of the curricula as a whole must be considered beforethe function of the accounting courses canbe determined.Few undergraduate students know inwhat phase of business activity they willengage until near or after graduation. Evenif they have decided on their future work,in the present state of industrial society itis impossible for one to be proficient in anytype of business or any department of aparticular business without a considerablefamiliarity with other types and the otherdepartments. It is impossible to study allthe various types of businesses or the various forms of organization which are foundin different businesses, but the functionscommon to all businesses and the generalprinciples of organization can be mastered.It would seem, therefore, that it is the function of the undergraduate courses in commerce to give such a training rather thanto emphasize the technique of any particular business or profession. In other words,it is the function of such a course to showthe student the relation of the "businessmanager" to the various factors which areinvolved in the conduct of the business enterprise.The function of the course in accountingin such a curriculum can be easily seen. Itis to teach the student the use of accountingas an instrument of administrative control.It is not the primary function of such acourse to train the student to become aprofessional accountant, nor to use accounting as a means of social control, nor to be come proficient in bookkeeping technique.Therefore, neither of the three groups ofcourses discussed above will suffice. Themajority of the students enrolled in theschool of commerce do not expect to practice accounting nor are they interested inaccounting as an instrument of social control as a primary consideration. Of course,all business men are interested in the relation of their business to the agencies of social control. The great majority of suchstudents expect to be concerned in businessadministration in the many various fieldsand they are interested in accounting notin a technical wa3% but as an aid in administration. If accounting is to be presentedas an aid in administration, it requires adifferent presentation from that providedbjr the orthodox courses in this subject.Consequently, at the University of Chicagothe accounting courses have been organizedwith this aim in view.The purpose of the first year's work inthis subject is to give the student the understanding of accounting which will be of thegreatest value to him in administrative workin whatever line of business activity he mayenter. Consequently, the technique is eliminated as much as possible and the use. ofaccounting reports in business managementis emphasized. To this end the use of accounting by the various departments of themercantile and the manufacturing businesses is discussed and illustrated. Thisfirst year's work is required of all studentsenrolled in the school of commerce. Forthe past three years, the instructors in thisdepartment have been devoting their timeto the organization of this year's work.During the coming year there will be organized courses which are intended to servethe needs of three classes of students: First,those who are interested in accounting asan aid in business management and desireto obtain additional training to that affordedin the first year's work. To this end, coursesin cost accounting and the designing andinstalling of accounting systems will begiven. Second, those students who are primarily interested in accounting as a meansof social control, and to this end. courses inmunicipal accounting and public utility accounting will be offered. Third, those whodesire to prepare for public accounting practice who, consequently, will need all thecourses mentioned above.During the year of 1921-22, there will be(Continued on page 232)STALWART NAMED BALDRIDGE 211A Stalwart Named Baldridge jBy ALEXANDER WOOLLCOTT IIn a recent number of The Bookman .A young, little-known stalwart namedBaldridge — Cyrus LeRoy Baldridge, to setit down in full for once' — the Americanarmy found delivering shells to the tiredFrench batteries along the Chemin desDames. Baldridge then became a privatein the American infantry and remained aprivate until his demobilization a year later,except for one hilarious afternoon when thecompany clerk, by a slip of the typewriter,promoted him to a private first class — orrather to a "pvt l/cl" as the company clerkscall it.All the A. E. F. knew this private as anartist who caught for them the true accentand color of young America overseas, foreach week his drawings were reproduced inthe pages of their own "Stars and Stripes."But few in America knew of any such interpreter found at the wheel of that battle-scarred old motor-truck, until the autumnof 1919 brought to the book-shelves the collection of his spirited drawings which iscalled "I Was There." Whereupon many,as they turned its memory-freighted pages,straightway and invariably asked two questions: "What was he doing before the war?"and "Where is he now?" We who knowhim were obliged to answer the first question by saying vaguely: "Oh, nothing inparticular. Ad sketches and tomato-canlabels and things like that out Chicagoway"; and the second question by the explicit reply, "In Shantung."For by the time Baldridge's book camefrom the binderies, he was roaming throughChina. And when the strawberries comeagain to the Jersey beds, I doubt if he willtaste any, for the chances are he will bemaking friends in some Arabian village onthe north coast of Africa, or setting forthto meet some kindred spirit in New SouthWales.For Baldridge is a thirteenth-centuryfriar born out of his due time — one destinedby gifts and instinct to wander cheerily overthe face of his neighborhood, the earth.If, in some Icelandic village or in somecrowded thoroughfare of Singapore, youever encounter a strapping American wholooks like the Goddess of Liberty — if, further, you find him drawing on a sloppilyfolded wad of paper and swapping jokesthe while in some heathenish lingo with thedelighted natives — well, you will be prettysafe in walking up to the stranger and saying: "Hello, Baldridge, you poor nut, what are you doing here?" And he will welcomeyou like a brother and show you where thebest food is to be had, and ask you if youknow anyone in Madagascar.It is an art to lead such a life as his. Youmust have been brought up gypsy fashion,rather. Baldridge was. You must knowhow to travel the world around with a negligible pack. You must care little abouthome and comfort, and nothing at all aboutmoney or the things that go with prosperity. You must know how to forage. Baldridge's intuitions in this branch of the science of soldiering were so well known inthe A. E. F. that the only two extant portraits of him — one by Wallgren and one byRube Goldberg — each show him attacking asandwich; while his first message fromChina, speaking casually of a twenty-four-course dinner he had had in Shanghai, gaverise to alarmist rumors that he never, neverwould come back.Above all, you must have the art of makingfriends among plain folks anywhere in theworld. In Baldridge, that amounts togenius. I do not know how he made outamong the little Celestials around Peking;but I do remember the young Arabs, whoformed a loyal volunteer cordon to wardoff half the population of Algeria whenBaldridge was drawing there in the shadowof the Mosque at Oran. I remember howthe wide-eyed little squareheads in theCoblenz street where he was billeted in December, 1918, sat around adoringly while hetoiled on improvised tree-decorations fortheir Christmas trees. And I never shallforget — when, in the still desolate spring of1919, he and I went back amid the ruins ofhis beloved Soissons — how from every barricaded cellar and around every dismal pileof rubble, Soisson's younger set swarmedforth to greet him with cries of "C'est Monsieur Baldridge," "Maman, Monsieur Baldridge est revenu," "Aha, Monsieur Baldridge, oil sont vos croquis?" The morselsof mademoiselles would cry "Taquin" athim in memory of past badinage; and onesolemn little boy piped up with the refrain,"Bon jour, petit paysan," because that hadbeen his song in the old nightmare days ofthe Chemin des Dames.Thus it was with quite a Pied Piper crowdthat we made our way to what was left ofthe St. Christophe inn, familiar in times pastto so many Americans of the Lafayette Es-( Continued on page 233)THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE!ii The New Alumni Directory iThe publication of an Alumni Directory,especially where there is no special equipment or directory "machinery" available, isalways a work requiring much time and expense. Indeed, even where special equipment is available the expense in the collection of data alone is very large. We havepublished no directory since 1913, becausethe war brought about such constant shifting of addresses that it was found quite impracticable to attempt one in 1916-17, theyear in which a Directory ordinarily wouldhave appeared. The general plan at theUniversity of Chicago is to publish anAlumni Directory every three years. Thesix years that have intervened since ourlast Directory resulted in so many changesin addresses, occupations, and similar data,that we were compelled to completely revise almost our entire files.Work on the new Alumni Directory began in the fall of 1918, and by January, 1919,when conditions after the war had begun tosettle, was well under way. For the entireyear the work was carried on as conditionspermitted, but sometimes under oddly discouraging circumstances. For some reason,some graduates appear reluctant to givetheir addresses, there being cases where asmany as four or five postcards, with return-card, had to be sent where but one shouldhave been sufficient. However, the millwas kept grinding, until by last fall ourfiles had been brought up to over 95 percent correct; preparation for the printingwas then begun immediately, and, thoughunforeseen delays were encountered, thework was kept moving, as opportunity allowed. Although several months haveelapsed since the time fixed for completionof the book, an effort has been made to keepthe addresses up to date, last minute changesbeing made where necessary. The book isnow ready for distribution.This is, of course, the largest Alumni Directory we have ever published, containingaddresses and other information concerningalmost 12,000 graduates. Every graduateshould have such a book; every graduatewill find it of interest and of handy usefulness. The edition, however, based somewhat on figures in connection with previousDirectories, is limited. If you desire a copy,your order should be sent to the AlumniOffice immediately. The general plan fordistribution is largely the plan of "firstcome, first served."When the work was begun, over a yearago, it was taken in charge by Roy Nelson,'01; Mr. Nelson worked patiently and carefully on the records for nine months, up to July, 1919, at the time of his departure fromthe University. Thereafter a special assistant was engaged to complete the collectionand classification of the data. To obtainthe necessary information has requiredthousands of special postcards and letters,the use of many directories and similarsources of information, and the constantchecking and re-checking of material received. After months of effort, the list ofunknown addresses was reduced to a fewhundred; this list was published in the July,1919, number of the Magazine, with requestfor "clews," and through information givenwas reduced still further. There is nowonly a small list of graduates of whom wehave no record whatever after graduation.Odd incidents have occurred in thissearch for the whereabouts of our alumni.Sometimes, after following "clews" that ledto great distances, the parties turned out,so to speak, to be residing "just across thestreet." Sometimes cards have reached usnot only very late, but practically illegible —so that the eagerly-awaited reply was almost useless, and we had to strike out again,with hopes for better luck next time. Insome instances addresses had to be changedthree or four times within the period ofpreparation for the Directory.And to "cap the climax," after we announced the Directory as ready for salewe began to get addresses and changesfrom people who should have notified uslong previously!It is, of course, the misfortune of anydirectory that it is somewhat out of datethe very minute it comes off the press,There is no law compelling people to remain at the last address given so that abook of that type shall be absolutely correct. And people, particularly young college graduates, have a habit of movingabout, seeking new and more advantageouspositions and places. Furthermore, a "deadline" must at length be fixed, after whichchanges can no longer be recorded in theDirectory. And yet, everything considered,such books attain a surprising degree of accuracy, and are always of exceptional valueto those who are particularly interested.Our alumni, as a class, have yet to be"educated" to the point of constantly informing the Alumni Office of any changesthey may make in address, occupation, etc.In common with other alumni offices wehave no way, unfortunately, of obtainingsuch desirable information automatically.The alumni office, though, beginning withthe very advantageous start offered by the(Continued on page 226)NOTES 213*-iIi*■ University NotesThe Theatre in Ida Noyes HallProf. Michelson New Member of FrenchAcademyProf. Albert Abraham Michelson, head ofthe Department of Physics, was elected to theFrench Academy of Sciences recently tu succeed the late Lord Rayleigh.

The Fiske Poetry PrizePresident Judson announced at the recent convocation of the University thatthe winner of the John Billings FiskePrize in Poetry in the first annual competition was Marian Esther Manly, witha poem entitled Li Slen. Miss Manly wasborn in China and is now a medical student at the University. The decision ofthe judges, John Matthews Manly, head ofthe Department of English, Henry BlakeFuller, novelist and critic, and Edgar LeeMasters, poet, was unanimous.In making the announcement PresidentJudson read a letter from the chairman ofthe committee of award expressing itspleasure that the contest had producedso large a number of poems of fine quality.Not more than seven of the fifty submitted were found seriously lacking in technical competence or genuine poetic thought.Because of the high quality of their contributions the following contestants weregiven especial mention: Maurice Leseman,Janet Loxley Lewis, Jessica North, CarrollY.

There was to have been a Clubformal that night, but through some mis-connection with officials the dance was permanently struck from the list. The newofficers are William Holton, president;Mortimer Harris, vice-president; RobertCole, secretary; Charles Redmon, treasurer;and Perry Segal, librarian. Holton is amember of Beta Theta Pi, Harris is a member of the Campus Club and a prominenttrack man, Cole is a member of Alpha DeltaPhi and a C man in football and baseball,Redmon is a member of Phi Kappa Psi andSegal is a member of Zeta Beta Tau.On that same night the class- of 1920 helda dinner and dance in Hutchinson Cafe andthe Reynolds Club. It was doubtless oneof the most successful class parties in manya day. Both society stars and wall-flowershad a good time. Announcement was madethen of the first annual Senior Vaudeville,to be held April 23 in Mandel. The affairwill be patterned after the senior vaudevilles of other colleges — a potpourri ofcampus stunts, with emphasis on the senior.During vacation the Glee Club, an organization recently reanimated but speedilycoming to life, made a tour of mid-westerncities. Kansas City, Cedar Rapids, DesMoines, Omaha and Wichita were the chiefstops, and at all these places success wasthe reward of the Club. Twenty-eight men,including a jazz band and a quartet, madethe trip. The club will give a campus concert April 17, at Mandel.March 15 the twenty-third national fraternity joined the increasing list of University of Chicago chapters. Rho DeltaRho installed a chapter with eight chartermembers.At the close of the quarter the Federation of University Women outlined a planfor chapel seating which has now gone intoeffect. In Junior College Chapel sophomores occupy the front seats and freshmenthe rear, with a similar plan in SeniorCollege Chapel — the seniors taking thefront seats. Class colors were also givenout as follows: Senior — purple; junior — orange; sophomore — blue; freshman — crimson.Kate Smith, '19, has been elected to thepresidency of the Y. W. C.

He contributes the"News of the Quadrangles" to this Magazine. He has done much to give the Maroon a prominent place among college undergraduate papers.A new departure, that of running a six-page paper regularly, has been attemptedwith pretty fair success by The DailyMaroon this year. During the autumnquarter the Maroon ran six-page editionsalmost every Friday and on several Saturdays of important football contests. Thisquarter the paper has been running theenlarged numbers practically every day,with occasional returns to the four-pagesheet, according to the run of news.John E.

Thenine is due to sail on April 17, returning tothis country about June 22, according tothe tentative plans.Capt. Clarence Vollmer, catcher; EdwinCurtiss, first base; Leon Connelly, secondbase; George Fedor, second base; JohnMochel, third base; Moffat Elton, leftfield; Robert Cole, center field; PaulHinkle, right field; Robert Halladay,Herbert Crisler, Edward Palmer, andHenry Geertsma, pitchers, were selectedby Coach Pat Page to make the trip.Vollmer, Hinkle, Curtiss, Crisler and Halladay are members of the Big Ten basketball championship team. Page will notmake the trip, as he will be at ButlerUniversity before the middle of the month,and Fred Merrifield, who played for Chicago in 1897-1900, and coached Waseda forthree years, will be in charge. At thistime it is not definitely known how manygames will be played in Japan, but theshort time the team will be in the islandsmakes it improbable that more than 10games will be arranged. No games will beplayed in Hawaii, the Philippines, or Chinaon this trip because of the shortage oftime.After twelve years the University ofPennsylvania and the University of Chicago met in another series for the nationalintercollegiate basketball championship theweek of March 21-26. Penn was victorious,winning the second and third games ofthe series in the east, after the Maroonshad won the first game in Bartlett Gymnasium. In the first half of the openinggame the Maroons swept past Penn for a17-6 lead, but in the second half the eastern team fought its way up, the finalscore standing 22-18. Penn used a five-manpass system, always passing back whenthe Chicago defense was too tight, theeffort being to break a man through fora quick pass and short shot. Laxity onthe part of the Maroon defense, becauseof the big lead, and more frequent shotsby Penn enabled the Red and Blue to creepup in the second half. The second game,played at Philadelphia, went to Penn, 29-18,after the eastern officials had called 20fouls on the Maroons under rules of theEastern Intercollegiate. On some ofthese fouls two, and once, three, shotswere allowed by the officials because ofChicago's protests. The third game, at Princeton was a close affair, 23-21, abasket shot by Curtis just as time endednot being allowed.Herbert Crisler, back guard on theMaroons for two seasons, and probablythe best defensive man in the conferencethis season, was elected captain for nextseason. Seven "C's" were awarded — toCapt. Paul Hinkle, Herbert Crisler, Clarence Vollmer, Robert Birkhoff, RobertHalladay, Harry Williams, and Edwin Curtiss. Hinkle, Curtiss, and Vollmer will belost by graduation, but the rest will beeligible next season, and as there is somepromising material in the freshman squadthe Chicago five next season should bea good one.The track team exploded shortly beforethe conference meet, and in that competition was able only to place fifth, with 10points. Higgins won the only first, takingthe shot put; the relay team was second.and Otis was third in the mile. The physical condition of the men was largely toblame, but there was also the fact thatthe team was not well balanced, its strengthbeing in the middle distance runs in whichseveral other schools are strong. Bartky'sarches were wrecked by the indoor tracks,and Otis had such bad legs that he collapsed three feet from the tape after leading in the mile. Capt. Speer, through somemysterious reason, was not called to thetrack for the half mile and did not compete. Moore was unable to finish in thetwo-mile as he had been bothered' by aninfected foot; Bowers did not place, andneither Kennedy nor Harris was able toqualify in the 440. Even Higgins had a badshoulder, but he was able to beat Bakerof Michigan. Earlier in the month theteam won the two-mile relay in the Illinois carnival, setting a new record of8:04 4/5 with Bowers, Jones, Otis andSpeer running.What the outdoor season will bring isuncertain, but if Higgins' shoulder mendshe should be able to get points in thediscus and javelin, in addition to winningthe shot. The physical condition of themen certainly can be no worse, and Director Stagg believes that the runnerswill improve on the outdoor track.Two points beat the swimming team outof the conference title, which went toNorthwestern 37-35.

Holden, atrustee for six years,was among thatgroup who served astrustees soon afterthe University wasincorporated. Foreight years, since1912, the youngerMr. Holden has beena member of theBoard of Trustees.Charles R. Holden,too, is a Chicagoanby birth. He wasborn January 9, 1871,the son of WilliamH. Holden, a notedChicago attorney,and Sarah (Revell)Holden. After theusual preliminaryeducation in the Chicago grammar andhigh schools, he entered Yale University, there obtaininghis A. B. in 1892. Hethen returned to Chicago and, afterstudying law at theNorthwestern University Law School,entered the practiceof law in Chicago in1893. For a time hewas with the lawfirm of Moran, Kraus, Mayer & Stein, andthen, until 1914, was a member of the lawfirm of Kraus, Alschuler & Holden. He isa member of the Chicago Law Institute andof the Chicago Bar Association. In 1914Mr. Holden became Counsel for the UnionTrust Company, Chicago, and since' thattime, both as Counsel and as Vice-President, he has been engaged with that financial institution.On December 12, 1893, he was married toMertie Towne, one child, a son, W. H. T.Holden, being born of this marriage, April15, 1895. Mrs. Holden died in 1897. OnAugust 12, 1901, Mr. Holden was married toCora Eaton. Charles R.

As a member of the City,Hamilton, University, Bankers, Chicago, and Quadrangle clubs, his services have been stillfurther called upon in connection withvarious civic and similar activities. During the war Mr. Holden was on the ■Executive Committee of Liberty Speakers. His residence is at the South ShoreCountry Club.As a member of our Board of Trustees, Mr. Holden is vice-chairman of thecommittee on Instruction and Equipment and a member of that on Auditand Securities.

The man whothus uniquely "celebrated" his fiftieth birthday is Julius Rosenwald. In the same yearhe became a Trustee of the University. Although this generous donation was givento increase a general building fund beingraised at the time,circumstances permitted the application of his gift toone building — theT u 1 i u s RosenwaldHall. The gift, too,was part of a verylarge sum given byMr. Rosenwald atthe time for variousphilanthropic andeducational purposes.Julius Rosenwaldwas born at Springfield, 111., August 12,1862, the son ofSamuel and Augusta(Hammer s lough)Rosenwald. Afterreceiving his education in the publicschools at Springfield, he went to NewYork City, wherefrom 1879-1885 hewas with the wholesale clothing firm ofHammerslough Bros.In 1885 he returnedto Chicago, wherefrom 1885 to 1906 hewas president of thefirm of Rosenwald &Weil, clothing merchants. In 1895 Mr.Rosenwald became vice-president and treasurer of Sears, Roebuck & Co., the greatChicago mail order firm; since 1910 he hasbeen its president. To the initiative andexecutive abilities of Mr. Rosenwald islargely due the rapid growth of that business to its present vast proportions.On April 8, 1890, he was married toAugusta Nusbaum, of Chicago.The philanthropic activities of Mr. Rosenwald have extended into many fields. Hisinterest in the education and welfare of thecolored race in America led him to make aconditional offer to contribute $25,0000 toeach city providing a Y. M. C. A. for colored men; fifteen cities have already qualified; Mr. Rosenwald contributes half the cost of construction of rural schools forcolored children in the South, of which 300have already been constructed, and plansfor over 300 more are being made. In 1917Mr. Rosenwald contributed one million dollars to the Jewish War Relief Fund. In thesame year, so many and so large are hischaritable interests, he created the JuliusRosenwald Fund to perpetuate his charities,the gifts to be determined by trustees.In 1916 he was appointed a member of theAdvisory Committee of the Council of National Defense and chairman of the committee on supplies. He was also a memberof the finance committee of the American Red Cross, andan honorary memberof the General Medical Board of theCouncil of NationalDefense.His keen interestin the developmentof the City of Chicago led to his appointment as a member of the ChicagoTerminal Plan Commission and as amember of the Chicago Plan Commission, the latter beingespecially noted forits plans, throughGrant Park andother developments,for making Chicagoone of the world'smost beautiful cities.The artistic side ofthe city is receivinghis attention and assistance as a governing member of theChicago Art Institute, a member ofthe Chicago GrandOpera Company andof the Chicago CivicMusic Association. Hull House, RushMedical College, the Jewish Home FindingSociety, the Illinois Industrial School forGirls, membership in various leading clubs,these — by no means exhausting the list —give some idea of his widespread civic, educational, and philanthropic work.Such a citizen would obviously welcomethe opportunity to be of service to the cityand to mankind at large through encouraging the growth of a great University. Inaddition to other gifts, Mr. and Mrs. Rosenwald have pledged $500,000 towards the establishment of the new Medical School. Mr.Rosenwald is a member of the committeeon Finance and Investment.

The gameness and fighting spiritof the Chicago team has never been surpassed on a basketball floor. Fighting ona strange court, facing a hostile crowd,handicapped at every turn by the easternstyle of refereeing, Chicago outrushed andoutfought Penn. That rally in the lastfour minutes of play in the last half ofthe game at Princeton was the greatest Ihave ever seen. With the score 23-13against them, the Chicago players openedtheir great offensive. It did not end untilthe score was tied, for the teams continuedplaying a few seconds after the time was upon account of the failure of the timer'sgun to explode. Then came the tragic announcement that the last basket did notcount in the score. Had not Penn deliberately stalled in the last minute of play,Chicago would easily have won.The Maroons did all that was humanlypossible; in fact they set a pace that seemedbeyond the limit of human endurance.Only hard luck in shooting baskets keptChicago from winning; her superiority overPenn in aggressivness and speed on thefloor was beyond question. If Chicago didnot win a technical national championship,the team won a greater title, "The TeamThat Never Gave Up," or "The TeamThat Rose to Supreme Heights in thePinch." Coach Page and every man onthe Chicago team should be given as muchcredit by the undergraduates of Chicago asif they had won the national championship.The loyal support that the Princetonstudents gave Chicago in the last gameshould also earn the gratitude of everyChicago man. The Princeton men learnedthe Chicago yell from the few Chicagoalumni who were present; they thunderedback a "Go-Chica" a thousand strong inanswer to every Penn yell and they rose ina mass to boo Pennsylvania as her teamstalled their way into a championship inthe last minute of play.Very sincerely yours,(Signed) Homer Hoyt, Law '18. !In the Directory Mail(Subscription enclosed)"At last something for Spinsters — thelist of Bachelors!

Manufacturersreport that they must have better commercial designs and must depend to a greaterdegree than heretofore upon designerstrained in the schools of this country. Excellence of design has been found to be almost as important a factor in determiningtrade routes as the utilitarian qualities ofcommercial products. A second industrialconsideration is the need of developing goodtaste on the part of the general public, sothat those who have the capacity for goodindividual judgment may have that capacitydeveloped, and that those who have not thatcapacity may at least be made familiar withexamples of excellent design as embodied inthings relating to community art or to thosehousehold materials which they will purchase.Investigation of this need has brought tolight the economic waste which results fromlack of artistic appreciation. Aesthetic interests are elemental and are as positive intheir demands when the purchasing publicis left in ignorance of art matters as whenappreciation is developed. Where standards of good design in architecture and furnishings have become comparatively stable,they have only to be modified and refinedfrom year to year. Though they are liableto change, these changes are not so frequent nor so revolutionary as where taste,or at least familiarity with what is excellent, has not been developed. If aestheticinstincts are not directed, they still seeksatisfaction, but it is likely to be sought inthe direction of mere sensation; usually inthe stimulus of novelty. The practical result is that in many industries we have hadto produce, each season, something entirelynovel in order to meet an untrained but insistent popular demand. In some instancesthis necessitates such a change of machineadjustments and of stock that the cost ofoutput is greatly increased. A third consideration is the social significance of these demands. These industrial circumstances are only the material indications of the positive force of aestheticdemands. An analysis of their social significance is a fundamental and importantpart of the work of the art department.The value of having our national landscape, cities, human types, occupations, andideals interpreted into artistic form, is receiving increased recognition. Things interpreted in this way are thereafter seenwith a different significance and make a newappeal. As an instance of practical recognition of this influence one important steelplant is employing an artist to investigateand interpret into pictorial, decorative andsculpturesque forms the workers and industrial processes. These relations of artto industrial and social conditions are notnew. They appear repeatedly in history. Inthis country, however, they are showingfor the first time in certain evident and concrete ways because of the development ofour American life away from pioneer conditions and because of profound changesresulting from the war. These are likely toincrease in importance and consequentlythe Department of Art Education has considered them worthy of special study.In addition to these industrial and socialneeds for art, there is evident also a widespread demand that the art contribution togeneral education shall be made as definiteand available as possible. Drawing has longbeen generally recognized as a languagewhich has a somewhat intimate relation toa wide range of subjects. Being a languageit is important, not only as a means of communicating ideas regarding subjects withwhich it deals, but as a means of analysisand synthesis, an instrument for thinking.In other words, when drawing is used inconnection with any subject, it becomes anew approach to that subject, showing it inanother light and giving added experiencewith, and interpretation of, its materials.In connection with some subjects as, forexample, the constructive arts, it is a necessary means for thinking out results, andcarrying on preliminary experimentation bymeans of plans and patterns. It thus provides a means of raising the intellectuallevel of work with concrete materials.The graphic and plastic arts have been a(Continued on page 224)ALUMNI FUND CAMPAIGN 223|IIIL;ll|ll"|llliiii»illlll«l!llili:.iillllluil!lllll:illlllllllllllll|[|Uj At Least jOne Hundred ThousandDollarsI Is our aim for theAlumni Fund| by the time ofthe 1June Reunion| .

With theirvocabulary of visible shapes and colors theyhave embodied and preserved certain significant human interests which literature,owing to the indirect nature of the termswhich it uses, cannot express. Original artmaterial is a unique type of historical document and helps to interpret not only thepast, but also the present.Recent InvestigationsThe Department of Art Education ininvestigating what is being done, has secured during the past three years coursesof study from cities and towns in nearlyevery state, has sent out questionnaires andhas carried on conferences with groups ofpeople interested in art education from various standpoints. Part of the results appeared in Bulletin, 1918, No. 43, of the Bureauof Education, under the title of "Instruction in Art in the United States."The Department has been experimentingwith various problems which have appearedas a result of its analysis of present needsand its investigations of current methods.Among these have been the following:In the University Elementary School ofthe School of Education, drawing was presented by methods based on somewhat thesame general principles as those employedin teaching language, any means that promised to promote ability in self-expression indrawing was given a fair trial, even whenit appeared questionable at first sight fromthe traditional artistic standpoint. The interests of the children as indicated by theirquestions and ways of working were carefully noted, daily records of each step werekept. The results appeared in a book, HowChildren Learn to Draw, by Walter Sargent,Professor of Art Education, and ElizabethMiller, who for several years was Instructor in Art in the University ElementarySchool.In the University High School a course inappreciation of art was organized by MissNama A. Lathe, and is being further developed by Miss Theodora Pottle. Thiscourse provides opportunity for students tobecome acquainted with the more importanthistorical periods of art by means of illustrated lectures, readings, and collections ofillustrations. A detailed outline of thiscourse appears in the Bulletin, Vol. XVI,No. 12, of the University of Illinois, pp. 202-06, under date of November 18, 1918.Some investigations have been carried onduring the past year by William G. Whitford, Assistant Professor of Art Education,in order to analyze and compare two formsof ability developed in public-school artwork. For this purpose two distinct typesof tests were devised. For the first test,which is designed to measure the ability ofpupils to select and make judgments involv-OF ART EDUCATION 225ing art principles, Professor Whitford prepared a series of fourteen problems in simple selection or discrimination. These furnished a means of testing ability to discriminate between superior and inferior artconsiderations.The second test is designed to measureability to draw from specification, to copy,to represent given curved lines, to drawfrom memory, and to draw simple objectsinvolving foreshortening and perspective.A preliminary report on these Art Testsappeared in The Elementary School Journal,Vol. XX, Nos. I and 2, September and October, 1919. They promise to make a definitecontribution towards a more extensive useof the objective method of measuring artability and of making the method of scoringin art analogous to that used in other subjects of the school.The problem of art testing has been continued during the current year under thedirection of Professor Whitford with the result that a more comprehensive appreciation test of twenty problems, involving design and color has been prepared. Theserevised tests in printed form, with ratingscale, record and graph sheets and detailedinstructions for giving and scoring can nowbe obtained from the Prang Company, Chicago.Changes in FacultyMany alumni of the University will feelkeen disappointment on learning of theresignation of Lillian Cushman Brown fromthe Art Department of the College of Education. Mrs. Brown, probably better knownto readers of this magazine as Miss Cushman, has retired from the teaching profession in order to spend more time in writingand lecturing. She is now residing at hercountry home, Bittersweet Farm, 'West Chicago, Illinois.In the spring of 1897 Mrs. Brown undertook experimental work in the school whichat that time was conducted by ProfessorEAGLE'MIKADO" PENCIL No. 174Regular Length, 7 inchesFor Sale at your Dealer.

During the five years thatshe taught in the laboratory school she alsosupervised the art instruction in the grammar and high schools of Highland Park inorder to make a comparative study of theeffects of environment on curricula and artinstruction.When the School of Education wasopened in 1902, Mrs. Brown became an instructor of drawing, painting and design inthe College. In 1907-08 she served on theeditorial staff of The Elementary SchoolTeacher and has written several magazinearticles on art education. She has been connected with institute work of various kindsand has acted as secretary and vice-president of the art section of the National Education Association and as president of theWestern Drawing and Manual Training Association.During the current year Miss Laura VanPoppelendam has been conducting thecourses formerly given by Mrs. Brown.Miss Van Poppelendam is a graduate of theArt Institute of Chicago and a former instructor in the normal department of theArt Institute. Next year Mr. L. H. Sandhusen and Mr. J. Bailey Ellis will be addedto the teaching staff of the department.Mr. Sandhusen is at present continuinghis graduate studies in the College of Education.

It is not the track at Bartlett; teamsof the past disprove such a contention. Itis not Mr. Stagg's ability to train athletes;past records make such a claim absurd. Ithas been said that the men were made torun out-doors on a muddy track and incold, raw weather recently. If this is so,bad judgment was used in having them doso. But even this was not the cause of thewhole team's being in such lamentablephysical condition as it was in Saturdaynight. The writer knows that the menwere in bad shape at least two weeks before this meet. They were not in condition for the Illinois relays; they were in awretched condition when they met Michigan a week later. Unless the cause is removed, they will be in as bad a conditionthroughout the rest of the year. They willsuffer defeat after defeat. They will loseinterest. And that is not all; some of themwill suffer the effects through life. This isno idle claim; the writer is still sufferingbecause of similar neglect.The sole cause of Chicago's poor showingis the lack of a trainer. A competenttrainer is as necessary to a successful athlete as is a coach. Mr. Johnson ('Johnny")would have returned to the University ifhe had been offered a reasonable salaryincrease. He told the writer as much. Mr.Eck was ill. Why was not a capable substitute provided during his illness? Thestatement was made that funds were lacking. Parsimony is not economy. Goodteams swell the gate-receipts; poor onesdraw small crowds. The crowds willdwindle, the gate-receipts vanish, if Chicago does not afford high-class exhibitions.The funds should have been provided. Anappeal to the alumni as a last resort wouldhave provided funds — if, indeed, funds werelacking.— An Alumnus.(Editor's Note. — Mr. Stagg's reply to this letter,which appeared in the Maroon too late for this number, will be printed in the May number.)

In the first place, those whodesire accounting from the viewpoint of thebusiness manager will obtain the trainingthey desire in the first 3'ear's work. Thosewho are interested in accounting as a meansof social control need such a training as isoffered in the first year's work before undertaking a study of accounting from thisviewpoint. The practical application of accounting as a medium of social control theywill obtain in the second year's work.Finally, those who are preparing to enterthe practice of accounting should have thetraining of the first and second year as abackground before undertaking a study ofthe more technical courses given in the thirdyear.In addition to the nine majors outlined above, there will be given this year andeach succeeding year a research course inaccounting which will enable a limited number of students to make investigation of accounting methods employed by mercantileand manufacturing firms in this city andelsewhere.

Thepage of St. Christophe sketches in "I WasThere" brings it back vividly — the smoky,narrow, vaulted kitchen, with all the neighbors jostling in to warm themselves. Therewas grandpere, proud of his white Imperialand eager to talk with Baldridge — becauseBaldridge was fresh from Coblenz and itwas to Coblenz that grandpere had beenborne off as a prisoner in 1870. How theold fellow gloated over our tales of blue-clad officers surveying the Rhineland fromthe misty ramparts of Ehrenbreitstein!There was the young son of the house,Erasme, laughing with that peculiarlyFrench lucidity of mind, at the irony ofhaving to begin three years of military service in the fall of 1919. There was the mother,she of the haunted eyes, who would leaveher pan of frying potatoes to come and tellBaldridge about the older son who hadpassed unscathed through the furnace ofVerdun, only to fall mortally wounded inthe last days of the war while defending theline only two miles from his own front door.The Soissons visit was not the only return of this wanderer. Baldridge had beenin Belgium in 1914 as a correspondent attached to the German army then floodingthe country and, sick with what he saw, hehad hurried back to America, and gone tothe border as a hard-working stable sergeant with the Illinois Cavalry. Then hadcome his year as a camion driver, his sixmonths with the American army, and atlast on November 11, 1918, he was back inBelgium again — in the front line this time,with the magnificent Infantry of the Powder River crowd — the men of the Ninety-first. At the hour of hours, he slipped histether and went forward, retracing with theYanks the selfsame path he had watchedthe Germans take four years before, pausing at the same houses, meeting sometimesthe same people.

The object of this educationis to prepare the enlisted man when heleaves the army for the best place insociety for him as a productive citizen.In each camp the commanding generalappoints a military head of the Educationand Recreation work, and experts in education are called to assist and advise.Public-school methods and subjectshave been found unsuited to the armyman, and the important part of the program is to work out courses adapted tothe intelligence, age, and experience ofsoldiers. Perhaps the most importantcourse in the educational system is thebasic one in citizenship. It consists ofwork in all the social sciences combinedinto one course, based upon and appealingto the men's experience, and involving aseries of progressive problems in American citizenship.A graduate of the University. ProfessorGeorge W. Hoke, is the chief man employed to develop this course, and he hascalled to his assistance Dr, Scott E, W. Bedford, Associate Professor of Sociologyand secretary of the American Sociological Society. The Basic Course Manualprepared by these educators will becomethe text for all the soldiers in the American army educational work. ProfessorBedford, who is now at Camp Grant, Illinois, has been on leave of absence for thepast three quarters to do this work, butwill return to Chicago to give regularcourses in the Summer Quarter.At the recent annual meeting of the American Society of Zoologists, Professor FrankR. Lillie, Chairman of the Department ofZoology, was elected member of the Divisionof Biology and Agriculture, National ResearchCouncil, to serve three years. He was alsomade a member of the advisory board of theAmerican Society of Zoologists. ProfessorCharles Manning Child, retiring president ofthe society, has been made a member of theexecutive committee for five years.Professor Rollin D. Salisbury, head of theDepartment of Geology, has revised, in collaboration with William G.

He was employed in Springfield, MasSaj at a salary of $3^00a year. He learned that an important company in New Yorkwas seeking a manager for thePhilippines, and presented himselfin the President's office.There was no question about hisfitness, from an engineering standpoint. The question was whetherhis knowledge of business was sufficient" for the variety of problemsthat would present themselves. "Test me, ' ' he said to the President. "Send out to your files andbring in questions of the sort I willbe expected to handle. For a yearI have been fitting myself for anopportunity like this under theguidance of the Alexander Hamilton Institute."I have studied the fundamentals of selling and advertising ofcosts and accounting, of traffic, foreign trade, and corporation finance.Give me a chance to show what Ihave Lamed."At the end ofthe interview thecontract was signed at a salary of$ 1 0,000 a year.

In the Preface, Dr. Scottstates:Within the last six years the averageAmerican has been forcibly reminded ofthe connections between his affairs andthose of the rest of the world. Regionsand peoples and problems that most of usnever heard of until recently now figure inthe headlines of the daily papers and arehotly debated in Congress. It is not atall improbable that the question of theratification of the Treaty of Versailles bythe United States will become one of theprincipal issues of the presidential campaignof 1920. It is a matter of great importancetherefore that those who wish to vote intelligently on this issue should informthemselves as to the terms of the Treaty,and should try to weigh the consequencesto this country and to the world of itsacceptance, unconditionally or with reservations, or of its rejection.I have tried to gather and summarizematerial to help in the formation of such a judgment. A considerable part of thebook is taken up with a detailed summaryof the Treaty with Germany, includingmore or less extensive explanatory comments of many of its clauses. I have notintended either to attack or to defend theTreaty. I have attempted to state whatthe Treaty says, and to indicate the reasonswhich appear to have guided the Conference in its decisions. In the numerous instances where there has been and is stilldifference of opinion, I have summarized asfairly as I could the arguments on bothsides. Personally, I should prefer a promptratification of the Treaty with only suchexplanatory reservations as those advocated by Mr. Taft, for instance, and a cordial entrance into the League of Nations.I should then hope and expect that theinfluence of the United States would beexercised to secure a modification of someof the undesirable and unworkable partsof the settlement. I have not written,however, with the idea of persuading anyone to adopt this point of view; I wish topresent material on which the reader mayform his own conclusions.and at the Marlborough-BlenheimAtlantic CityoA fact:At the fashionable Marlborough-Blenheim —in the very heart of America's most famous seaside resort, no other cigarette can touch Fatima'asales.

Utilizing Nature's PowerELECTRICAL energy generated by waterpower has grown to be one of our greatestnatural resources — and we have only begun toreach its possibilities. It mines and refines ourores, turns the wheels of industry, drives ourstreet cars and lights our cities and towns. Thepower obtained from Nature saves many milliontons of coal every year.At first the field of its utilization was limited by thedistance electricity could be transported. But soon research and engineering skill pointed the way to largerand better electrical apparatus necessary for high-voltagetransmission. Then ingenious devices were inventedto insure protection against lightning, short-circuits, etc.,which cause damage and interrupt the service. And nowall over the country a network of wires begins to appear,carrying the magic power.The General Electric Company, with its many years'experience, has played a great part in hydro-electricdevelopment. By sucessfully co-ordinating the inventivegenius of the company and its engineering and manufacturing abilities, it has accomplished some of thegreatest achievements in the production and applicationof electrical energy.The old mill wheel of yesterday has gone. Today theforces of immense volumes of water are harnessed andsent miles away to supply the needs of industry andbusiness and the comforts of the home.GeneGeneral OfficeScheneclady.N.Y. 95-1391Sales Offices inall large cities*THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEin one of ihe Hercules Powder Comp<iny''spacking houses.HERCULESPOWDERS The Dynamite Makerand the Food SupplyThe dyr.am-'te maker's service to all of us does not consistsolely of placing explosives in the hands of the miner for theproduction of our coal and metals.
