XVII JUNE, 1925 No. 8\Y7ITHIN but two years, five months as" Acting President and a little over oneyear as President, Ernest DeWitt Burtonleft an impress of prog-President Burton ress upon the University of Chicago that willendure for centuries. About to retire, aftera long life of arduous labor in his specialfield that included Europe and Asia in itsscope and constructive activities, he wascalled to the headship of the Universitywith which he had been connected and forwhich he had already done so much forover thirty-three years. He carne to theUniversity when it first opened in 1892 asProfessor and Head of the Department ofNew Testament and Early Christian Litera-ture. "His work in this field, in the develop-ment of the Divinity School, in editing andpublishing, as Director of the Libraries formany years, and in other phases of University and educational endeavor, both here andabroad, was always typical of a man of keenand broad mind, fearless courage, seeminglylimitless capacity, and unceasing activity.He had indeed fully earned retirement ; yet,when the cali carne, he accepted the Presi-dency on the basis of an "active administration," and in his characteristic tireless spirit,constantly taxing his-energies to the utmost,gave his ali to the great task.He took Prèsidential leadership at a mostdifncult period in the history of the University. But, fortified by years of experi-ence and wide contact with administrativeproblems, he at once analyzed ali needs ofthe entire institution, set them forth clearlyand impressively, visualized and success-fully imparted to many thousands his greatvision of the University that should be, thatis to be, and then plunged immediately into the nation-wide effort to bring that visionto early realization. In the midst of thissupreme effort, with exceptional progressalready accomplished and with every rea-sonable promise of full est attainment, hepassed away. As fittingly emphasized atthe funeral service, "It was a glorious twoyears !" But his crowning work, his loftyvision and noble influence will go on — hisinspiring spirit will continue to lead aliforces of the University toward the greatgoal, not only today but for many genera-tions.Just as with the University communityand with the citizens of Chicago and manysections of the Middle West, Dr. Burtonquickly endeared himself to our thousandsof Alumni, everywhere. They respondedwillingly to his frank cali for their partici-pation in the efforts on behalf of their AlmaMater ; they appreciated this rare and highprivilege of active partnership which hepromptly extended to them ; they had rec-ognized in him exactly the kind of leaderwhose broad aims and constructive plansmerited heartiest support from every quar-ter and particularly from Alumni ; and theyresponded to his inviting challenge en-thusiastically and loyally. His departurehas left them with a profound sadness and asense of personal loss; but his leadership,they feel, has given them an inheritance ofinspiration and cooperative effort that willendure and bring increasingly constructiveinterest, mature understanding, and everhelpful results for Chicago.Ernest DeWitt Burton will not become amere memory ; he will always be a force-ful, guiding spirit, in the affairs of theAlumni and in the steady and assured ad-vancement of the University of Chicago.3054..I mi unTLife of President BurtoniDr. Burton in 1892PRESIDENT BURTON was boni Feb. 4,is.')6, in Granville, O. He was the son ofthe Rev. Nathan Smith Burton, a Baptistclergyman, and of Sarah J. Fairfield Burton.In his boyhood Ernest Burton showed the en-ergy that has always characterized him, and hethrew into businessventures, s u e h asmany boys undertake,a zeal that mighteventually havebrought him wealth.However, his ambi-tions early turned toscholarship, and espe-cially to study of theBible After his grad-uation from Denison University in 1S76, heattended the Rochester Theological Seminary,from which he received the degree of Bachelorof Divinity in 188-2. Meantime he became ateacher in public schools and academies.By this time it had become evident that Dr.Burton's field of scholarship was to be thatof New Testament literature and interpreta-tion. In that field, immediately upon his grad-uation from Rochester Seminary, he took upthe work of instruction ; and in 1883 he wascalled to the Newton Theological institution,where as associate professor he continued theteaching begun at Rochester. Three yearslater he was made professor and held that chairuntil 1892, when he was called to the Universityof Chicago, then just established. Duringthis period at Newton his knowledge was en-riched by special study in the University ofLeipzig.Ultimately Dr. Burton became a leader inaffairs of the Baptist denomination. He wasat one time Chairman of the Board of Education of the Northern Baptist Convention andchairman of the board of directors of theAmerican Baptist Missionary Society. He wasintimately concerned with the cause of foreignmissions, as well as with missionary and socialproblems in America. Among other activiticshe was Secretary of the Institute of Socialand Religious Research.When President William Rainey Harper or-ganized the notable faculty which began workin the first year of the University, Ernest DeWitt Burton became one of their early group,comprising such scholars as Albert A. Michel-son, Albion W. Small, Herman von Holst andEliakim H. Moore. Prof. Burton became headof the Department of New Testament andEarly Christian Literature. The spirit of the University was then, as it always has b.een, tocultivate research in ali fields, and to encourageproductive scholarships. Prof. Burton not onlybenefited by, but contributed to this zeal. Bookafter book carne from his pen, the result ofintensive study of the New Testament, illumi-nating the meaning and beauty of those earlyChristian writings. He advanced rapidly inthe recognition, both national and international,of. Biblical scholars. Besides teaching andwriting, he understood and carried on for morethan twelve years editorial work on such jour-nals as the Biblical World and the AmericanJournal of Theology.Among the books which President Burtonwrote, either alone or in collaboration, were :Syntax of the Moods and Tenses in NewTestimoni Gree.k, 1893, Harmony of the Gos-pels for Historical Study (with the late W. A.Stevens), 1894; Records and Letters of theApostolic Aye, 1895 ; Handbook of the Lifeof Paul, 1S99; Constructive Studies in the Lifeof Christ (with Shailer Mathews), 1901; Prìncipi es and Ideals of the Sunday School (withShailer Mathews), 1903; Short Introduction tothe' Gosbel, 1904; Studies in the Gospel ojMark, 1904 ; Principles of Literary Criticismand Their Application to the Synoptic Problem,1904; Biblical Ideas of Atonemcnt (with J. M.P. and G. B. Smith), 1909; Harmony of theSynoptic Gospels in English (with Edgar J.Goodspeed), 1917; Spirit, Saul and Flesh inGreck Writings from the Earliest Period to180 A. D., 101 S; Harmony of the Synoptic Gospels in Grcck (with Edgar J. Goodspeed), 1920;Commcn-tary on Pattl's Epistle to the Gala-tians, in International Criticai Coimnentary,1920; Source Book for the Study of the Teach-ings of fesits, 19:.':!.One of Dr. Burton's greatest services wasrendered as orientai educational commissionerfor the University, which resulted in his pass-ing the year of 190S-9 in China and Japan, andstudying educational needs there. In 1931 hewas made chairman of the Orientai EducationalCommission.But in addition to ali 'his scholarly researchand his writing the executive capacity of Prof.Burton soon found opportunity at the University. His counsel was sought by numerous ad-ministrative boards. In 1910 he was appointedto the difhcult post of Director of Libraries.Also, after Harry Pratt Judson succeeded Dr.Harper as President, upon the death of thelatter, Prof, Burton served as acting presidentwhen President Judson found it necessary to beabsent from his tasks. When President Judson retired from the office the trustees of the306Life of President Burton 307Dr. Burton in 1910, Director of the LibrariesUniversity decided that the man best equippedin scholarship, in executive ability and inbreadth of vision, for the presidency was Prof.Burton, who began as an unassuming studentin one of the least obtrusive fields of scholarship.He took office as president in July, 1923,after a few rnonths as acting president, It issaid that when he was requested to assume theposition he inquired whether he was expectedmerely to hold the ground the University hadalready attained, or to seek to develop newenterprises. The reply was that developmentwas desired. Dr. Burton accepted on this basis.Almost immediately he began the outlining ofplans for greatly improving the efficiency ofthe University in ali departments, and for en-larging its resources and its activities.There fell to President Burton, after hislong career as scholar, leadership in an effortfor developyment more extensive than had beenundertaken since the earlist days of the in-stitution. The president defined it as an ef fort, not to build the largest nor the wealthiestuniversity in America, but to make the University of Chicago "the best possible" for serv-ice in its field. The pian as developed underPresident Burton's guidance has comprehendedboth extension of scicntific research and development of college work of an improvedtype. His policy embraced both the discoveryof new truth and character-building throughinstruction.President Burton received the degree ofDoctor of Divinity from Denison University,O'berlin College and Harvard University. In1924 he was made a member of the ChinaMedicai Board, and in 1925 a member of theCentury Association. Eie was a member ofthe University, Union League, Commercial,City and Quadrangle clubs of Chicago.In 1883 Dr. Burton married Frances MaryTownson of Rochester, N. Y. A daughter,Margaret, of the class of 1907, Secretary ofY. W. C. A. National Board, New York City,survives with the widow.I Statements and Condolences i!.. _.-4V i— nn^— un— nii^— mi— nn mi mi mi mi— mm un— I — un— mi— iiw^— mh— im^— uu— un m ha— im^— dii ,ln*^— nu "" un "I"Messages and LettersThe announcement of the death pf President Burton brought hundreds of telegramsand letters to the members of his family, thePresidente Office, and the Alumni Office.Telegrams were received from John D.Rockefeller, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Martin A. Ryerson, in France, former GovernorFrank O. Lowden, Dr. Frank Billings, Abraham Flexner, the Rev. Harry EmersonFosdick, George E. Vincent, President ofthe Rockefeller Foundation, and many othersnotable in business, religious, politicai, phil-anthropical, and other fields. Educators andscholars in ali parts of the country, and inforeign countries, expressed condolences andthe loss in President Burton's departure,among them President Lowell of Harvard,President Angeli of Yale, A. H. Lloyd, University of Michigan, President Kinley, University of Illinois, Professor R. A. Millikan,Throop Institute, Samuel W. Stratton, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Clar-ence A. Barbour, Rochester TheologicalSeminary. Many Alumni Clubs and a largenumber of individuai Alumni wired sympa-thies. This wide-spread response was indicative of the esteem in which Dr. Burton washeld by men and women in varied fields ofendeavor and in many lands.The Officiai StatementThe officiai statement issued at the University on May 24, following the death ofPresident Burton, follows:"President Burton underwent his first op-eration at the Presbyterian Hospital Aprii 24for the relief of an intestinal obstruction. Atthat time there was discovered an infiamma-tion which was diagnosed as carcinoma ofthe bowels."As soon as he was able to be moved, following this operation, he was taken to hishome on Fifty-ninth Street, where he restedand was able to do some work. It was de-cided to perform an operation for removalof the carcinoma growth, and this operationwas performed on Wednesday, May 20,"President Burton faced this second operation with the courageous and cheerful atti-tude characteristic of him. The operationwas successful as regards removal of thegrowth and at first it seemed that the Presidente extraordinary powers of recuperationwould enable him to survive. However, itsoon became evident that the shock to hissystem, especially in view of his age, wasvery great. Although he brought to bear uponhis battle for life ali the will power and faith that such a sufferer could muster, he steadilylost strength and with the development ofperitonitis last night it was seen that no hopefor his recovery could be maintained. Deathended his suffering at 9:41 today."Trustees Teli RegretMr. Harold H. Swift, head of the Board ofTrustees, made the. following statement inbehalf of the board of trustees:"It is impossible for me to express ade-quately the sense of loss felt by the Trusteesand ali members of the University. Therehas passed from us an inspiring, generousand lovable leader who combined the attri-butes of scholar and administrator, of coun-selor and friend."During his term as president, so tragic-ally cut short, he had won not only the re-spect but the love of ali with whom he dealt.He voiced the highest ideals of education andlooked forward eagerly for the opportunityto develop such ideals in the fullest measureat the University of Chicago."From President Emeritus Judson"President Burton was one of the firstmembers of the faculty. He carne to theUniversity in 1892 at the time of my own af-filiation. He was Head of the Department ofBiblical and Patristic Literature and for manyyears was Director of the University Library.He was made President of the University twoyears ago at the time of my retirement. Hewas very active in the Baptist EducationalSociety and was president of the board, hav-ing to do with a large number of collegesand academies. He went to China som'eyears ago to study educational conditionsfor the Rockefeller Foundation. He has beenthere many times since, representing variousmissionary and educational institutions."He has rendered great service to education throughout the world. He was intenselyinterested in the development of the University and had a large vision of its future. Hewas an eminent scholar in his field and aman whom ali loved and trusted beyond aliwords. The announcement of his deathcomes as a great shock to me personallyand as a great loss to the University and thecity of Chicago."From Director A. A. Stagg"The news of President Burton's deathleaves one almost speechless. The great be-reavement to his wife and daughter isstrongly seconded by that of the University,which loses her wonderful leader at a timewhen his inspiring vision and wonderful30 aStatements and Condolences 309plans were well started on the way towardrealization."If there is any meaning to his passing atthis particular time, it should be that of dra-matizing the great ideals President Burtonhad for his beloved University of Chicago,and it should stir every stu.dent and everyson and daughter and every friend of theUniversity to work his hardest and to givehis best to carry on and bring about the ful-fillment of our great Presidente vision."Professor Michelson's StatementDr. A. A. Michelson, world famous scien-tist, said:"The brief period of President Burton'sadministration has been noted for tremen-dous activity in furthering the cause of purescience and for marked success in interestingthe citizens of Chicago in the work of theUniversity. He endeared himself to everymember of the faculty and his loss is a mat-ter of supreme regret which we ali feel andwhich was doubtless accelerated by the tre-mendous activity he has shown in his workfor the University. We would love to rejoicewith him in the coming results which willdoubtless follow from his labors."Statements from DeansDean Henry G. Gale: "It is a great calam-ity for the University at this time to losePresident Burton. He was a wonderfulleader and we ali admired his courage andenergy displayed in his undertakings. President Burton urged us ali on to renewed ef-forts and hopes and made an inspiring leader.We have ali learned to have great personal affection for him in addition to admirationand respect."Dean Gordon J. Laing: "In President Burton's death the University of Chicago hassuffered an irreparable loss. If there hasbeen a greater university president in thecountry during the last few years, I do notknow who he is. From the day that he as-sumed the responsibilities of office he showedhimself to be a man not only of broad viewsand high ideals but also of dynamic energy.I remember hearing that when the Board ofTrustees offered him the post of Acting-President, he replied that he would acceptonly on the understanding that his tenure ofoffice should not be regarded merely as aperiod of marking time till a President shouldbe appointed, but that he should be allowedfull measure of initiative and constructivework. The way in which he attacked theinfinitely difficult problems of the presidencyshowed at once that he had meant what hesaid, and his election to the office of president followed as a matter of course."Dean Marion Talbot: "The University hasbeen fortunate in having as its leader a manmarked by liberality of thought and gener-osity of judgment. While holding strongpersonal convictions and never willing tocompromise with what he believed to beright he listened sympathetically to the viewsof others. Even unpopular causes oftenfound in him a champion. In these respeetsas in many others more publicly known, hewas truly a leader."Dean Ernest H. Wilkins: "President Burton had at ali times a complete vision of aliThe Funeral Procession on University Avenue310 The University of Chicago Magazinethe interests of ali parts of the University.He loved every part of the University; graduate, professional, and undergraduate, and hegave his thought and his time and his lifeto the building up of ali the phases of theUniversity's life. The inspiration which hegave can never be lost."Vice-President Tufts' Statement"It is seldom that any man in so brief aperiod of administration has so completelycommanded the admiration and affection ofhis fellow workers. The whole Universitymourns sincerely and we feel that a calamityhas befallen us. We can only hope that hisspirit will live on and inspire ali of us to doour utmost for the cause which was so dearto him."President Scott of Northwestern"President Ernest DeWitt Burton was awonderfully fine neighbor. He recognizedthat there is no competition in well doing,that ali universities are in co-operation inpromoting human zeal and in advancing civ-ilization.

He was aman to whom the overworked word visioncould be accurately applied. He saw clearlyand grasped practically the major problemsof education, and we would especially era-phasize his appreciation of the possibilitiesof helpful contacts between the universityand the city. We hope his inspiration willremain and his fruitful impulse be carried onby his successors. We are sure that wouldbe the best monument to his memorableservice.* * *Chicago Evening PostSCHOLAR AND ADMINISTRATORIn the midst of his dream of a greaterUniversity of Chicago, death has taken President Ernest DeWitt Burton. The dreamwas unfolding into reality; the splendidplans he had inspired and promoted weremoving toward their consummation, when adread disease, like an ambushed foe, struckhim down.President Burton was primarily a man ofscholarship, a brilliant student in his chosenfield, a recognized authority, keen in intellectand liberal in spirit. He had been identifiedwith the University of Chicago from its be-ginnings. He had seen its growth, and con-tributed largely to its fame. The dose friendof William Rainey Harper, the intimate col-league of Dr. Judson, it was with unanimitythat the trustees turned to him, on the resig-nation of the latter in 1923, to take his placein the succession and assume the high re-sponsibilities and onerous duties of president.It soon became apparent that Dr. Burtoncombined with his scholarship the capacitieswhich make for able and progressive administration. In the. less than two years of hisregime as president he had swung into mo-tion a great project for extending the facili-ties of the university, and maintaining in thewider field of modem demand the highstandard of leadership in research and in-struction which, from the first, had been setby the faculty of the institution.There was breadth and courage in the program he conceived, and he contributed to itssuccessful launching the convincing warmthof his own personality, which evoked theloyal co-operation of his associates, the student body and the numerous and far-scat-tered alumni. One of the things President Burton wantedto do was to bring the university into closerrelationship with the life of Chicago, to de-velop between the city and the gray towersa sense of mutuai interest and obligation.He felt there was much the university coulddo to serve the city; he knew there wasmuch the city could do to help the university.A contribution to this closer intimacy andco-operation was made in the series of lec-tures given by distinguished members of thefaculty in Orchestra Hall last winter. Hadhe lived he would have found many waysto promote this purpose. We trust his suc-cessor will be no less eager to pursue it.President Burton's vision of educationalopportunity was enriched by his religiousfaith. The fact that his life had been de-voted to the study of the New Testamentand early Christian writers, that his reputa-tion was made originally as a profound in-terpreter of the times and teachings in whichJesus moved as the centrai figure, accountsfor the stress he put upon human values,and the spiritual idealism which broadenedthe horizon of his work as the head of agreat university touching life at every point.Those who had the privilege of knowinghim will recali the charm of the man, hisgraciousness, his alert interest in ali things'human. Whether in his study, discussingsome abstruse intellectual question, or 011Stagg field, when the team was wrestlingwith a worthy foe, President Burton waskeenly responsive to the uppermost issue.He loved a football game as he loved a prob-lem in first century literature.His passing is a great loss to the univer-, sity and to the community in which it playsa part so vital. It is more to be regrettedbecause he will not be here to carry throughto complete fruition the important projectswhich had commanded so fully his thoughtand enthusiasm. But they will go on, andwill constitute a tribute to his memory.* * *Chicago Daily NewsERNEST DeWITT BURTONTwo years ago, when Dr. Harry PrattJudson retired from the presidency of theUniversity^ of Chicago, the trustees, with thehearty support of the leading members ofthe faculty, asked Ernest DeWitt Burton,then head of the department of sacred his-tory and the New Testament, to assume,temporarily at least, the heavy responsibili-ties of that office. In no sense had Dr.Burton been a candidate. The offer carne to311312 The University of Chicago MagazinePress Appreciations — Funeral Services 313him solely out of respect for his character,his scholarship and his vision.On assuming the office Dr. Burton soonsurpassed the expectations of even his closestfriends and admirers. He demonstrated ex-traordinary capacity for unaggressive leadership. He believed in and practiced the prin-ciple of giving fit heads of departments alithe freedom they could reasonably desire.He encouraged research and experimenta-tion, and subordinated magnitude and showto quality and spirit. He displayed a breadthof view and a sympathy with genuinelyprogressive ideas and tendencies that arerare even in the executive heads of modemuniversities.Dr. Burton was 67 years of age when hewas elevated to the presidency of the insti-tution he loved and of which he had been apart for thirty years. His death at 69 isdeeply regretted by the faculty, the studentbody and the trustees and friends of theuniversity, which is the better and greaterspiritually for his brief term of service asits head.* * *Chicago Herald and ExaminerWE LOSE A FRIENDWhen at 67 Professor Ernest DeWittBurton took the presidency of the University of Chicago, he did so with the precisestipulation that he would not keep the placeafter he was 70. Now at 69 he is dead.In two years he had already made a placefor himself that can only be called remark-able. The gentlest of men, his force wasapparent even in casual talk. He trustedali men, but he never surrendered the reinsof direction. He consulted the humblestalmost humbly, but his was the final word;everybody carne to know that. On any newmatter of detail he never hesitated to admitignorance if he felt it; but he had always asingularly attractive and admìrable power ofisolating and defining the real issues. Heseemed to know with unerring sagacity whatought to be done, outlined it, and put hisconfidence in the men about him to do it.Though he had been ali his mature life aminister, teacher, librarian, he got the confidence of the practical-minded business manwith whom as president, in the midst of theuniversity's drive for endowment, he carneof late to see so much. He believed in theiridealism and they as readily believed in hisstrong common sense.His death, especially at this time, is agreat blow to the university, a great blowto the city for which he was planning andhoping to do so much. But his inspiration,like Dr. Harper's, will carry on the woric.Somewhere, surely, afar or near, will hisspirit endure, "zealous, beneficent, firm." THE MANWhen you went to see President Burtonyou got first of ali the sense of an innerpower. Sometimes it seemed as if the roomvibrated with the intensity of his spirit.Then, you felt the action of a keen mind,searching into your problems and leadingand lighting the way to a solution. Andthe smile in his eyes and his voice and hisvvords made you know that he wasn't justanalyzing — but that he felt and cared. Andthe light in his eyes and on his white hairgave you somehow the sense of benediction.And you haven't forgotten. And you neverwill. The Daily MaroonTHE FUNERAL SERVICESAs stated in the press, "There was a sim-plicity about the way his fellow scholars andUniversity associates said farewell that theysaid was typical of the man and the University he stood for. There was a deep dignityto the services in Leon Mandel Hall." TwoServices commemorating the Presidentepassing were held, on Thursday, May 28th,both attended by impressive crowds. At12:00 M. a University CommemorativeChapel service was held, attended by thestudents and members of the University. TheRev. Charles W. Gilkey led in prayer, andthe speakers were Dean Ernest H. Wilkinsand Professor John M. Coulter, the serviceclosing with prayers led by the Rev. Theo-dorè G. Soares.At 2 o'clock the funeral march began, theFaculty members proceeding from HarperLibrary along 59th Street to the corner ofUniversity Avenue. Here they halted untilthe casket was borne from the PresidenteHouse. The procession, headed by the University Aides and Marshals, marched slowlydown University Avenue, which was lined onboth sides by students and the public, whilethe chimes in Mitchell Tower pealed hymns.In the line that followed the casket were theFaculty, Trustees, President Scott of Northwestern LTniversity, Mayor William E. De-ver, and other distinguished citizens. Man-dei Hall platform was banked and the wallsand balconies were draped with beautifulfiorai tributes.This second, Public Funeral Service began at 2:30, with President Emeritus HarryPratt Judson presiding. Dr. Soares led inthe opening prayer and the closing benediction. The speakers were President HaroldH. Swift of the Board of Trustees, DeanShailer Mathews of the Divinity School, andthe Rev. Gilkey, Pastor of Hyde Park Baptist Church, President Burton's church. Àtboth services the speakers told of PresidentBurton's noble character, his kindness, in-tellectual achievements, and his great, self-sacrificing services to the University and toeducation.At the conclusion of the afternoon service,the casket was taken out through Mandelcloister, lined on each side by the Faculty,and borne away to Oakwoods Cemetery.•1*-I1I1— !lll— -111THE ALUMNI CAMPAIGNSome Campaign StatisticsI.

Partof this sum, which totals $500.00, will beused to purchase a cup to commemorate theclass of '25.The idea of a memorial to the late President Burton arose originally over the dis-cussion of the class gift. The aid of the Alumni was sought, and France Anderson,'99, responded and spoke before the Seniorchapel.Early chapel was followed by a later meeting of candidates for higher degrees. Thelatter meeting was also addressed by Mr.Anderson. Both groups enthusiastically en-dorsed the pian.

"We shall achieve ourgoal only as the result of many gifts of vary-ing size from very small to very large gifts."We cordially welcome gifts in anyamount, but we well know that it is vain toexpect to secure $17,500,000 wholly in smallgifts. We are looking eagerly therefore andhopefully for those large gifts in sums ofhundreds of thousands and of millions,which we believe the history of the University and its plans for the future justify, andwhich are indispensable to the success ofour effort."314The Alumni Campaign 315One Million Dollar Research GiftEstablishment of the Douglas SmithFoundation for Medicai Research, which isto make available to the University of Chicago the income from approximately $1,-000,000 as endowment of research in thenew School of Medicine of the University,was announced May 19. Securities nowvalued at $800,000 have already been placedin the hands of officials of the University.The donor, Douglas Smith, well known Chicago business man, intends, it is announced,to turn over the remainder of the gift dur-ing 1925.This contribution comes a short time afterthe breaking of ground for the School ofMedicine, which is to be situated betweenEllis and Drexel avenues and 58th and59th streets. On this tract buildings costingmore than $4,500,000, for the Albert MerrittBillings Memorial Hospital, the Epstein Dis-pensary and the departments of surgery,medicine, pathology, physiology and physiol-ogical chemistry, are to be erected. TheUniversity will then have on the Midway anextensive group of buildings for medicai in-struction and research, in addition to thoseconstituting the Rush Medicai College groupon the west side. The Douglas SmithFoundation is constituted specifically forpayment of salaries of persons conductingmedicai research and for the expenses ofthis work."Mr. Smith's notable contribution," saidHarold H. Swift, President of the University Board of Trustees, "will be applied to theimmediate inauguration of research in theSchool of '^Medicine. The University isgrateful for this gift, which will providestimulus to our $17,500,000 program , fordevelopment of other departments of theuniversity."In the letter of gift to the University, Mr.Smith writes:"The securities which I am handing youare for the establishment of a fund to beheld in perpetuity by the University of Chicago as an endowment of its school orschools of medicai science for the investiga-tion of the causes, nature, prevention andtreatment of disease. Only the net incomeof the fund is to be used. It is to be ex-pended exclusively in payment of the research stipends or salaries of the membersof the staff or fellows of the University ofChicago engaged in medicai research, andof expenses directly incident to such research."I would have preferred that my name benot attached to this gift, but at your request,I have agreed that the fund may be knownas the Douglas Smith Foundation for Medicai Research." Explaining the University's NeedsThis view of President Burton, taken from theCampaign Moving Picture, shows him explaining building needs to Alumnus Henry Sulcer, '05.Latest Gifts to the University DevelopmentFundGifts to the University totaling more than$400,000 have been announced by Robert P.Lamont, chairman of the Committee on De-velopiment. The gifts which bring the totalraised in the campaign for $17,500,000 in1925 up to $6,384,596, include the following:Charles H. Swift, $200,000; Max Epstein,$100,000; Morton D. Hull, $53,000; Henry F.Frank, $25,000; anonymous, $50,000. Alithese gifts go toward completing the firststage of the development campaign, the rais-ing of $6,000,000 for the endowment of in-struction and research. The University isalso seeking $500,000 for the endowment ofadministration and $11,000,000 for new buildings.Mr. Swift's contribution is made specifically for the establishment of a "Distinguished Service Professorship," the first pro-fessorship at the University endowed to yieldan annual income of $10,000. It is plannedto create several of these professional posts,to be awarded to men of outstanding dis-tinction of the Faculty or to men who mayfrom time to time be brought to the Faculty.In accouncing the pian to create such pro-fessorships, President Ernest DeWitt Burton previously pointed out: "To hold such aprofessorship would be the highest honor theUniversity could confer on any member ofits Faculty or on anyone whom it was call-ing to its service. To associate one's namewith such a professorship is to render a greatservice to scholarship and the University."Mr. Epstein's gift is "to be used at thediscretion of the Trustees of the Universityfor the purpose of scientific work, in medicine or one of the allied sciences." Mr. Epstein is the donor also of the Epstein Dis-pensary of the new School of Medicine.j35E5HZEE5E5E5HHffi2SBESH5E52H5^^| June Reunion |laS25ffifficffi2525H5E5iHES25Bffi^^THE 1925 Alumni June Reunion carriedon. The traditions of our annual gather-ing were successfully continued and thespirit of loyalty to the University, as wouldhave been desired by President Burton, wasmanifested in the various events on the program. There was a beautiful commemorative touch in ali of the main events, in honorand in remembrance of the President, whoin his few brief months of service had ac-complished so greatly for the welfare andprogress of Alma Mater.The program opened on Thursday, June11, with the annual "C" dinner, attended byMaroon athletes representing almost, everyteam in the history of tthe University, withDirector Stagg presiding. It Was a notablegathering of "C" men, who pledged them-selves anew to strive on behalf of their University.The main class dinners were well attendedand friendships of college days, long goneby, were renewed and strengthened. Twen-ty-two members of the class of 1900 attended the 25th anniversary dinner of thatclass on Friday, June 12, at the QuadrangleClub. At the same time the classes of 1905and 1915 observed their 20th and 15th anni-versaries, respectively. On Saturday, June13, Alumni Day, the classes of 1916 and1917, abandoning their annual baseball feud(temporarily), made a truce and enjoyed ajoint class luncheon.In accordance with the second Reunion announcement that was mailed out, AlumniDay this year was quietly observed — theusuai parade, the picnic features, the Shantyceremonies and other class anniversarystunts having been dropped from the program. Alumni Day opened with theAlumnae Breakfast at Ida Noyes Hall, thisevent, meeting with its usuai success, beingattended by dose to 250 Alumnae. The program this year, in addition to a tribute toPresident Burton, was in honor of DeanMarion Talbot upon her retirement from theUniversity. Miss Talbot was the guest ofhonor and principal speaker on a most inter-esting program. A detailed review of thisevent will appear in the July magazine.The afternoon was taken up with a number of informai Hall reunions and specialgatherings among the Alumnae, while theAlumni visited their fraternities at luncheonsand attended the National Collegiate Trackand Field Championships on Stagg Field,Some 300 Alumni attended the annual dinner at Ida Noyes Hall at 6 p. m. The University Band, the Glee Club, and B. FredWise, '17, vocal soloist, gave excellent selec-tions during the program. Earl D. Hostetter, '07, Alumni Council Chairman, presided;and, as requested in his opening address, thegathering arose and stood for a minute in silent tribute to Dr. Burton. Chairman Hostetter then welcomed the Seniors into thealumni body, and, in response for the Seniorclass, President Harrison Barnes pledged theclass of 1925 to continued efforts as alumnitoward advancing the interests of the University. Albert Hopkins, '05 representingthe 20th anniversary class, proclaimed that,after ali, his class was so noteworthy thatthey did not need to "qualify" for admit-tance to the Shanty division in the usuai way— their special qualifications as a class, heclaimed, were universally recognized andfully entitled them to become Shanties auto-matically.Harold H. Swift, '07, representing theBoard of Trustees, told how great the lossof our President was, and expressed theBoard's deep appreciation of the Alumniwork in the campaign. Out of PresidentBurton's leadership and his departure, hestated, had come a great, united spirit ofcooperation among ali connected with theUniversity — a spirit which could not but re-sult in its marked and rapid advancement.Herbert P. Zimmerman, '01, Alumni Campaign Chairman, told of the campaign situa-tion to date (the figures appear in this number) and paid a tribute to the fine work ofHarold Swift. The assembled alumni passeda resolution of appreciation of the work ofHarold Swift and pledged him by rising votethe continued support of the alumni in theUniversity's Development Campaign. Vice-President James H. Tufts told of his inter-esting experiences in meeting alumni whileon a speaking tour throughout the country,and expressed the belief that, particularly atreunions, the alumni and the faculty shouldbe brought together for developing closerassociation and their common interest in theUniversity. The gathering then adjournedfor attendance at the University Sing.Because of the limited time preceding thesing, Secretary Pierrot dispensed with hisusuai report announcing the result of theCollege Association elections. This electionresult appears in the class news section ofthis June magazine.The University Sing was attended by thelargest gathering of spectators and partici-pants in the history of this famous collegeevent. Close to 1,800 men, mostly alumni,took part in the Sing. Director Stagg andthe "C" men again officiated in announcingthe athletic honors for the year and awardingthe C blankets. And the Sing, an event ofbeauty, dignity and. high sentiment, endingwith the chimes and the singing of the AlmaMater by the entire assembly of severalthousand, fittingly closed a quiet, commemorative and ever-memorable Alumni Day.(Association and other reunion events will be re-ported in the July number.)316ALUMNI AFFAI R SConference of Alumni SecretariesThe twelfth Annual Conference of the Association of Alumni Secretaries and ofAlumni Magazines Associated was held atLehigh University, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Aprii 23-25, 1925. Over 150 alumniassociation officers and alumni magazineeditors were in attendance at this conference, with some 75 institutions represented,including most ali of the larger universitiesof the east, the middle west and south.The program included papers and discus-sions on a variety of topics concerningalumni work and relationship and on severalphases of alumni publications. Interestingpapers relating to alumni reading and studywere presented, with the plans in use atAmherst College, Smith and Vassar col-leges, being presented by the alumni andalumnae secretaries of those institutions.There were also papers on "Locai AlumniClubs," "Student Loan Funds," and trackingalumni whose addresses had been lost, byrepresentatives from Yale, Toronto and Cornell.

Morrill,Ohio State University, was elected presidentof the Association of Alumni Secretaries for1925-26. The general program was perhapsthe largest and most successful attempted atthese annual conferences.The delegates were the guests of LehighUniversity at a dinner on Friday evening,Aprii 24, at which Dr. Charles Russ Rich-ards, President of Lehigh University, whohad previously welcomed the delegates toLehigh at the opening session, was the prin-cipal speaker, and were the guests of theLehigh Alumni Association at two noonluncheons. On Saturday morning they vis-ited the giant plant of the Bethlehem SteelCompany, the first visit of a convention atthat plant silice the war and the first timethat women have been allowed to go throughthe plant.Lehigh University and the Lehigh AlumniAssociation were most cordial hosts and theirhelpful attentions did much to make thegathering a pronounced success throughoutthe three-day program.These annual conferences have been stead-ily increasing in attendance, interest andhelpfulness, and have done much towarddeveloping cooperative assistance betweenthe alumni officers of the leading collegesand universities throughout the country.Alumni Secretaries Convention, Alumni Memorial Hall, Lehigh University31S The University of Chicago MagazineChicago Alumni Club Annual MeetingBurton Resolutions — Fund GiftThe Chicago Alumni Club held one of themost interesting of its annual spring meet-ings on June 2nd, at the Red Room, HotelLa Salle. Paul S. Russell, '16, president, pre-sided. There were some eighty Alumni inattendance.Frank H.

Eleventh Annual Report —1914 Class Loan FundThe Class of 1914, at its tenth reunionheld in Hutchinson Cafe on Friday, June 6,1924, voted to continue the operation of thel.oan fund, including the securing of additional annual contributions from membersof the class until the fifteenth class reunion.The hope was expressed that Dean HenryG. Gale would consent to represent the University in making the loans. William H.Lyman was re-elected for a period of fiveyears as the Class Trustee.No effort, however, was made during thefiscal year ending Aprii 30, 1925, to secureadditional pledges as the amount of cash onhand was sufficient to meet current demands,and the trustees did not wish in the slight-est degree to conflict with the larger oppor-tunity presented by the University to itsalumni.As is shown in the tables, the current yearwas about average, being slightly under inthe number of loans macie and slightly overin amount. If the baseball team does wellthis year, the class may well be proud asat least three of its members received a help-ing hand from this source. The same maybe said of a master in geology, a featurewriter for a Texas newspaper, an Egyptol-ogist, and a lower classman with a Phi BetaKappa grade.Calls for help originated because of thefather being out of work, or dead, or beingthe head of a large famil.y, or being an hon-est government officiai on a limited salary,or a telegraph operator, or a compositor, orhaving a crop failure.Interest at 4 per cent was charged on aliloans. No surety or collateral was required.The maximum amount permitted a studentwas $75.00 and the greatest time to repay,one year. This period gives the borrowerthe opportunity of working three monthswithout interfering with his collegiate program.Our class gift continues to receive favor-able comment from many quarters, and hasserved as a model for numerous analogousenterprises, both erudite and fraternal.Classification of 1924-25 LoansMen Womeu Total:ì 1 ilO O 44 0 41 0 112 3 15.HSH5H5H5H5E5H5E5HSHSHSH5HSH5H5H5E5S52SHSHSH525ESH525H5HSE5r^H5HSH5H5HSH5H5HSESH5HSH525E5E5H5E5H5H5E5H5H5HSH5ESHS^Great University MemorialstSE5HSffiE5E5E5HE5H5HSHSHSE525E5E5H5E5ffiZ5H5E5H5H^^MAN has an age-long quarrel with obliv-ion.

The Pyramid of Cheops, the Archof Titus, the Column of Hadrian, the TajMahal, the Tomb of Cecilia Metellus, areali mute defenses against the envious years— lifting their silent protest against forget-fulness and repeating their declaration ofpersistence in a world of perishable things.Such were the memorials of the ancientworld — bulwarks against the tides of time,often noble, often beautiful, but passive.They have been followed by another formof memorial 'that had its rise in the MiddleAges and that has flourished more and morein modem times. This is the memorial thatlives, that joins to its protest against ob-livion an active cooperation with the gener-ations that are and that are yet to come, andmakes them its allies against the devouringyears. Such memorials are the Sorbonne atParis, Merton College at Oxford and a scoreof others there and at Cambridge, and in thiscountry Harvard, Yale, Johns Hopkins, andLeland Stanford.The tomb memorial has had its day. Inits place is stili a building — but the newbuilding of the new age — the illuminatedbuilding, the building with Windows, thattypifies the memorial which lives and servesand enlightens. This is the memorial of active beneficence — the university, its libraries,its laboratories, its recitation halls and itsdormitories — clasping hands with the living.reaching forward to bless, with Iight andleading, generations of youth.The university memorial is no new thing.Its beginnings carry us back to the dimstretches of the Middle Ages. When Robertde Sorbon. Confessor to St. Louis of France,made his brave gift in 1257 for' the supportof seven secular priests, the University ofParis was stili in its youth, with scant equip-meht and scantier means, but the candle helighted has thrown its beam across the cen-turies and the Sorbonne has become a syn-onym in many minds for the great and fam-ous University of Paris itself.When Walter de Merton, Bishop of Rochester, a few years later fouuded the collegeat Oxford which bears his name and pro-vided for the support of twenty scholars, he set in motion forces which have powerfullyaffected education in ali parts of the worldfor six hundred and fifty years and won himfame that outshines the renown of kings.In 1314 the Bishop of Exeter, by the giftof two rectories and an acre of land in Corn-wall, founded and gave his name to ExeterCollege, Oxford, which has served the greataims of scholarship and character for nearlytwenty generations.If one could choose a title to fame thatmight defy the assaults of time, who wouldnot elect to have his name upon the mostfamoits academic library of England? Yetit seems Sir Thomas Bodley won this titlein 1597 by the payment of a sum given torefit and replenish Oxford's library whichhad been despoiled during the reformation.Richly as these and others of their dayhave been rewarded in praise and fame fortheir benefactions to universities, it remainedfor a graduate of Cambridge to win perhapsthe greatest prize ever awarded in historyfor a single act of generosity. John Har-Vard's benefaction to the university thatbears his name has been rewarded a thou-sand-fold in gratitude and praise and publichonor. His grave in a quiet church-yardin Charlestown, Massachusetts, seldom vis-ited and little known, is marked by an in-conspicuous gravestone. His real monumentis Harvard University.When that sturdy and adventurous Eng-lish merchant, Elihu Yale, gave his moneyin 1718 to the Collegiate School of Connecticut, that institution held out hut littlepromise of. the great place it was to takeunder his name in the higher education ofthe western world. No one could then con-ceive of the multitudes of Yale graduates,serving their generations and deserving wellof the Republic, who should find a bond ofcommon loyalty and enthusiasm in callingthemselves "Sons of Eli."In a score of other American colleges anduniversities the tale repeats itself in varyingmeasure. Brown and Williams, Dartmouthand Colgate, Cornell and Bowdoin; eachfounder, inspired to aid the cause of education and the future of his country, built forhimself a monument that will stand for cen-turies. But none of these early foundationshas grown to its present size or breadth ofinfluence from the proceeds of the originaigift. From generation to generation, public-spirited men and women, looking for an op-portunity to invest their wealth most effec-tively for the benefit of humanity, have320 The University of Chicago Magazineadded to the resources of these establishedcolleges and universities.Of ali forms of memorial since men firstpiled rough cairns of stones upon the hill-sides to mark a chieftain's burial place, thecollege and university has offered the noblestand the best. Compared with tombs andfuneral monuments they are as the livingtree to the dead, carved trunk. Every windthat -blows and every flurry of rain thatsweeps that image brings it nearer its finaldisappearance; the living memorial in a living college grows with its growth and in-creases with the ever widening service itperforms. For a thousand years the Pyra-mid stands, gradually crumbling to decay,dead as the stones that compose it and asdumb regarding its meaning or its maker.In half that time the memorial of Walter deMerton, alive, active and growing, sends outin a Constant stream thousands of youngmen to serve their day and generation. Ofthe lovely monuments of early Paris and ofOxford many are lost, broken in battle orsiege or sudden outbreak, but the universities go on, outliving kings, governments,dynastics; surviving wars and revolutions,battles and sieges, and keeping the torch oflearning ever alight in their sacred shrines.To the practical mind there is no form ofmemorial more attractive. There, in theuniversity, his gift is safe. It will not bedisturbed. Law and ancient custom and im-memorial prestige protect it. The soundestand wisest guardians have it in safe-keeping.It neither wastes nor is frittered away. Itis a rule free from taxation; it yields its ultimate farthing to the purpose to which itis devoted. And its application is at themoment of utmost productivity. It is ap-plied to no sterile, wornout nor exhaustedacres, but to fields of selected, chosen, vigor-ous youth at the moment of maximumgrowth, when the impulse will give thegreatest affect. If one would invest in thefuture, place his capital where it would yieldthe highest return in the enlightenment andtraining of the coming generations, here isan investment made to his hand.The university memorial is, moreover, ina special sense our own. It belongs pecul-iarly to our time. Great and impressive aswere the gifts to found colleges in the 13thand 14th centuries, both in England and onthe continent, they shrink to insignificancebefore the splendici donations of our ownday. It is likely that ali the benefactions ofthe hundred years between the foundationof Merton at Oxford and of Corpus Christiat Cambridge would not equal the sum offive million dollars given lately by Mr.George F. Baker as a single gift to Harvard,nor the gifts of the Mayo brothers to estab- lish the Mayo Foundation. Stili less wouldthey compare with the generosity of Mr.Rockefeller to Chicago, of the Sterling fam-ily to Yale, or of Mr. George Eastman tothe University of Rochester.In 1892, Mr. John D. Rockefeller, inspiredby a deep impulse to advance civilization andto meet more specifically the needs for in-tellectual leadership of a population exceed-ing 50,000,000 people, founded a great university in the center of the Middle West.That the University might belong to thisgreat centrai empire, Mr. Rockefeller refusedto allow it to bear his name, but called itThe University of Chicago. He gave at thattime in unprecedented amounts in order thatthe university might at its inception collecta faculty of leading scholars and immediatelytake its place among the great universitiesof the world. During its formative yearsMr. Rockefeller gave many additional mil-lions, but made his final gift in 1910, realiz-ing that if the new university was to retainits leadership of this great territory, it mustbelong to the people and they must providefor its future needs."This gift," he wrote, "completes the taskI have set before myself. Most heartily doI recognize, and rejoice in, the generous re-sponse of the citizens of Chicago and theWest. ... I am acting on an early andpermanent conviction that this great insti-tution, being the property of the people,should be controlied, conducted and sup-ported by the people, in whose generousefforts for its upbuilding I have been per-mitted to cooperate."Nor have the citizens of Chicago been un-mindful of the needs of their university.Since it was founded they have contributedabout $16,000,000 to its various needs. During the past five years they have enlargedher endowment by $3,600,000. But munif-icent as are such gifts, they hardly keeppace either with the needs of the University or with the stream of benefactions flow-ing to older institutions of the East. YetChicago offers unique and extraordinary ad-vantages. She is not merely the universityof a locality, but the center and capstone ofthe educational life of a region very justlycalled the heart of the nation. To her hallsand faculties come students from a vast network of colleges and sister universities. In1922-3 there crowded to her doors advancedstudents from more than four hundred andseventy-five other colleges and universities.They carne from near and far, from manylands and climes, but in largest numbersfrom the wide regions of the Middle West,Graduates, friends and supporters of eachof the older universities of the East maywell take pride in buttressing the founda-tions of their Alma Mater, but it will beGreat University Memorials 321open to a friend of Chicago to believe thathe is sharing in a more vital and more fate-ful undertaking when he broadens the current of Chicago's activities. He will takepart in the renaissance of American universities with a more prophetic vision than isgranted to others. He will see to whatheights his University is to rise. The wholeof the Middle West is her province andthere is hardly a limit to her possibilities.It was a happy inspiration that led theoriginai Trustees of the University of Chicago to give their architect an opportunityto make an exhaustive study at first handof the colleges of Europe and America. Asa result of this study, the Trustees adoptedas the style of architecture for the new university the Gothic of Oxford. Today theUniversity of Chicago, taken in its entirety,has in ali probability the most beautiful andcharming group of college buildings in thecountry. Harper Library, Mitchell Tower,Ryerson Laboratory, Rosenwald Hall, withtheir gothic turrets fretting the sky, awakenmemories and stir the imagination. Thenames they bear are those of Chicago men.for as the city is the center and capital ofthe Middle West, so the University is theintellectual acropolis of the city.These memorials of Chicago men in theirUniversity of Chicago command a place inany account of academic memorials. Thelist is a long and honorable one; to cali theroll is like a muster of the leading men ofthe city.Among these buildings are some that nochronicler of medieval or of modem timescould pass by unrecorded — the noble out-lines of Mitchell Tower, reproducing withfidelity both of form and spirit the dignityand beauty of Magdalen Tower at Oxfordand resonant-like its prototype with singingbells; the East Tower of the Harper Library, reminiscent of Christ Church at Oxford which is stili more strongly recalledin Hutchinson Hall, one of the most inspiring of university interiors; the Law School,reviving not the form alone of the exquisiteKing's College at Cambridge^ but also thecairn, reposeful air of learning and leisure —these are veritable elegies in stone. Suchalso is that noble home of hospitality, IdaNoyes Hall. They are achievements thatreflect honor alike on the far-sighted menwho planned the splendid scheme and uponthe generous souls who provided with un-stinting hand the means to translate thedreams into reality.Generous as were the donors, the University has not been less generous in herrecognition of their services. Republics maybe ungrateful, but not universities. Uponthese halls and within their portals she hasinscribed her sense of obligation in mag- nanimous and ungrudging phrase. Whatcould be more grateful to a deseendant ofthe great President than to have the nameof Harper on the lips of those who for generations shall use that library, whose portalsare daily entered by more students than usethe Old Bodleian at Oxford?But the University has not contented her-self with calling her halls and towers afterthe names of those whom she desires tohave remembered; she has sought to paythem honor in other ways. Within many ofthe halls are tablets of bronze, such as inthe great days of Rome were inscribed withthe names of her heroes. Here are recorded,with the dignity and brevity of classic days,the services of the benefactor. In the hos-pitable entrance to Reynolds Hall is an in-scription which may well touch the heart:Joseph ReynoldsA Builder of the Middle WestTrader, Miner, Master of TransportationBy River and By RailHis Love For His SonBlake ReynoldsWho Died in YouthWidening To Generous Interest InAli Young MenLed To The Erection Of This BuildingIn the Mitchell Tower, which contains thePalmer peal of bells, is an appropriate in-scription to the rare and talented womanwho was the first head of the women of theUniversity: "Joyfully to Recali Alice Free-man Palmer, Dean of Women in This University, 1892-1895, These Bells Make Music."In Scammon Court is an inscription whichtestifies to the benefactions of husband andwife: "This enclosure is named in memoryof a public spirited citizen of Chicago anda liberal friend of education, Jonathan YoungScammon, 1812-1890, and in recognition ofthe generosity of his widow, Maria SheldonScammon.One of the most artistic of these memorialtablets, certainly one of great dignity, isthat designed by Lorado Taft to dedicateKent Chemical Laboratory. The tablet,which is in bronze, includes a medallionportrait of the donor, Sidney A. Kent.The stern and imposing portals of Bart-lett Gymnasium enclose an inscription ofgreat charm which embodies artistic beautyand filial affection. The building was givenby a Chicago merchant as a memorial tohis younger son and was decorated by theolder brother, a distinguished artist.Nor do these inscriptions mark the fullmeasure of the homage the University paysto those whom she delights to honor. One ofthe possessions which she most carefullyguards and most profoundly exhibits is hercollection of portraits of her friends andbenefactors. In Hutchinson Hall, the men'sdining-hall, where famous visitors from homeand abroad are welcomed, there hang, as in,.,.-) The University of Chicago Magazinethe ancient hall of Christ Church at Oxford,portraits "of loyal friends and supporters ofthe University. Here are portraits, destinedto become more prized with the passage oftime, of John D. Rockefeller, by EastmanJohnson; of Martin Antoine Ryerson, byLawton Parker; of William Rainey Harper,by Gari Melchers; of Adolphus Gay Bart-lett, Silas B. Cobb, Hobart W. Williams, andLeon Mandell, ali by Ralph Clarkson; ofGeorge C. Walker, by Edward J. Timmons;of La Verne Noyes and Charles L. Hutchinson, by Louis Betts.Looking about upon the array of noble buildings. a friend of Chicago may well say, "Thepast at least is secure." It may be doubtedwhether history affords a parallel to thegrowth of the University, the munifìcence ofber benefactors and the beauty of her buildings. The past is secure. But, to Chicago,achievements are only encouragements togreater undertakings, the gateways to newopportunities. The towers and halls thatwe see are only parts of a greater pian. Already drawings, models, details, are waitingto be put into stone. And, more important.professors and students, investigators, think-ers, scholars, stand ready for the doors toopen.Among these dream buildings waiting tebe incarnated are some that shall rivai thebeautiful structures that alread)' adoni thecampus. They are destined to blazon andmake memorable names, some of whichhave not yet been written on the pages ofthe University history. The great move-ment, the twentieth century renaissance inuniversity building, is in full tide. We are stili to witness even more impressive signsof it, and we may well remind ourselves ofthe remark of a well-known British authorwho writes about recent endowments ofAmerican universities: "Few names emi-nent in banking and railroad circles . . .remain unrecorded in some great buildingdevoted to the encouragement of higherlearning."Few names among the successful men ofAmerica unrecorded in some universitybuilding! That is a bold statement. Yet ex-traordinary and incredible as it sounds thereis much to be said for it. The list of suchmemorials is long and impressive. As-suredly, were ali the memorials at ali ouruniversities entered into a volume, it wouldform a shining array, comparable to the far-famed Golden Book of Venice. As soon asone begins to think over the names, he isobliged to realize that few, indeed, of thegreater figures of American finance and business life are missing from it. Rockefeller,Vanderbilt, Morgan, Carnegie, Huntington,R y e r s o n, Harkness, Montgomery Ward,Baker, Mellon, Colgate, Widener, Sterling.Rosenwald, Duke, Eastman, these and manyothers come readily to mind. To set downa complete record would be tedious, if notimpossible. They have ali deserved well oftheir time and of the future. The monuments which they have chosen to preservetheir memory are not dead tombs andobelisks and pyramids, masses of deadmasonry; they have made buildings withwindows, within which the lamp of learningburns perennially, sending its mild radiancefar out into the future.The Classics BuildingThe picture sbows the Classics Building, fronting the Midway, on Ellis AvenueWeiboldt Hall, the new Modem Languages Building, will be erected in the space on theright, adjoining Harper Memorial Library.Mrs. Bond Lays Cornerstone of DivinityChapelJoseph Bond Chapel became a part of thecampus on Aprii 30 with the laying of thecornerstone. The new chapel, which formsthe south wing of the Theology Buildingnow under construction, was dedicateci byMrs. Joseph Bond.Mrs. Bond, who is donor of the building,which cost $150,000, intended it to be amemorial to her late husband who was aprominent Chicago manufacturer.The Chapel will be ninety. feet long, thirty-three feet wide and fifty-seven feet high andwill have an oak roof painted in green, gold,and red, with a red file top. The details ofthe interior provide for a chancel at the westend, with an organ and a screen of cathedralglass at the east end. The building is to beconnected with a new Theology Building bva cloister."A religion that ir afraid of facts, thatseeks to compromise with credulity, thatrests upon mere tradition, that counts ec-clesiastical authority more precious thantruth, has no place in a University like ours,"said Dean Shailer Mathews of the DivinitySchool who gave the address at the exercises."We have no ambition to produce preach-ers who merely repeat the message of thepast. We believe in reality, and in a churchthat is a part of a changing order, to whichit must contribute its own faith in that whichis more" than human, with no terror of in-vestigation or of development."A prayer was given by Prof. TheodoreGerald Soares, Chaplain of the University.J. Spencer Dickerson, Secretary of the Boardof Trustees, made a statement of the con-tents of the box deposited in the cornerstone.Among other things the box containsmany portraits, which include the following:Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Bond, William RaineyHarper, Harry Pratt Judson, President Burton, and Dean Matthews.The exercises began with a procession ledby the Marshalls of the University, and fol-lowed by the Choir, the Student Council ofthe Divinity - School, the faculties of theDivinity School, the Chicago TheologicalSeminary, the Disciples Divinity House, theRyder Theological Seminary, the Presidentand Secretary of the Board of Trustees ofthe University, the Dean of the DivinitySchool and the Chaplain of the University.The Vice-President of the University, actingin the absence of President Burton who senthis congratulations and regrets at not beingable to attend, accompanied by Mrs. JosephBond, the donor, concluded the procession.

The lastBarrows Lecturer was Dr. C. R. Henderson,in 1912-13. The lectures this year, in viewof the marked Indian interest at the presenttime in the figure of Jesus as distinguishedfrom the historic movements and churchesthat have taken his name, centered around"The Personality of Jesus," and were as fol-lows: (1) "Jesus and Our Own Generation,"(2) "Jesus' Way of Living," (3) "Jesus' Lifewith God," (4) "Jesus and the Mysteries of323324 The University of Chicago MagazineProfessor Frank Justus MillerProfessor Miller, of the Latin Department, and for-merly a Dean in the Colleges of Arts and Literatures,retires this June.

The totalattendance at these fifty lectures was nearlyif not quite 40,000, of whom at least 25,000were university students. The largest re-sponse was in Madras, where the attendancein a hall seating 1,000 averaged well overthat figure, and on the last night reached1,800 by actual count. In Calcutta the audi-ences were almost as large, and Lahore wasa dose third.

Àìumnus Specialist Operates onMrs. BreastedStudents and friends of Professor JamesH. Breasted will be gratified to learn of Mrs.Breasted's recovery from a thyroid operation performed in May by Dr. Emil Goetsch,'03, at Long Island College Hospital, Brook-lyn, N. Y., where Dr. Goetsch is professor ofsurgery. Mrs. Breasted returned in Apriifrom Egypt where she accompanied Prof.Breasted on his several trips to Tut-ankh-amen's tomb.Dr. Goetsch, who has attained wide recognition as a thyroid specialist in this country and abroad, took both his bachelor's de-gree and Ph.D. (1907) at the University ofChicago. He spent two years at Rush andfinished his medicai course at Johns Hopkins, where he received his M.D. and wherefor a number of years he was chief assistantto Dr. William S. Halsted in thyroid surgery and Dr. Harvey Cushing in brain surgery.This incident is rather interesting evidencethat our Alumni have "grown up" — sinceProfessor Breasted and his wife carne foradvice and treatment to a man who had beenjust a freshman in Breasted's classes whenBreasted was already one of the world'sleaders in his field. Information concerningthis operation was sent to the Magazine byCharles M.

At the informai reception preceding thedinnner, alumni had opportunity to exchangeexperiences in the pleasant surroundings of thelounge in Ida Noyes Hall.Dinner was served at six-thirty in the refec-tory which was lovely with its decorations ofspring flowers. The food was such as is always expected when it is served under the ca-pable direction of Miss Colburn and her as-sistants. The group singing between courseswas led by Mr. Paul M. Cook. No small partof the pleasure of this part of the dinner wasdue to the very attractive song books whichare the work of the Print Shop under the direction of Miss Katherine M. Stillwell.The program which followed the dinner wasin recognition of the past relations of the Departments of Art and of Home Economics tothe School of Education. Mr. George W. Wil-lett, President of the School of Education Alumni Association, presided. He gave a messagefrom Dr. Judd who was in California attend-ing an educational meeting. Dean Gray wasthe first speaker. He spoke in recognition ofthe contributions made by the Departments ofArt and of Home Economics to the work ofthe School of Education and to education ingeneral. The transfer of these departments tothe Colleges of Arts, Literature, and Sciencemeans that the academic value of their sub-ject-matter courses has now been generally rec-ognized, as it was especially recognized in thebeginning by the School of Education. MissBlunt spoke for the Department of Home Economics and expressed regret at the severing ofthe very pleasant relations which have existedbetween the Department and the School ofEducation. She gave briefly the history of thehome economics work in the University ofChicago and outlined the plans for the future.Mr. Sargent concluded the program in thathappy and entertaining vein which is so unmis-takably his own. Everyone present saw withhim visions of the day when no one shall havebéen deprived of the opportunity to make ac-quaintance with the language of art and whenthe hoped-for building for the Departmentof Art shall be an unconscious inspiration forthe enjoyment of some of the more subtlethings of life.The Departments of Art and of Home Economics retain relations with the School of Edu cation through the Departments of Art Education and of Home Economics Education.

These summaries are publishedas educational monographs supplementary tothe School Review and the Elementary SchoolJournal.The summary on arithmetic was written byProfessors Judd and Buswell.

But any uneasiness or anxietywhich may have been felt disappeared en-tirely when it finally became known thatPresident Burton had been selected. Thefaculty had had frequent contact with himas Director of the University libraries. Inali their dealings with him in this capacitythey had found him to be a wise, patient,sympathetic, efficient administrator; andwere confident that his unusual qualitieswould be adequate for his larger task. Ithad been the privilege of some of us to knowhim personally and intimately. We whoknew him in this manner were certain thathe would ably fili the position and perpetuatethe fine traditions of the office which hadbeen established by President Harper andPresident Judson. In ali these hopes andexpectations of the new President we werenot disappointed. On the contrary we werejoyously surprised at the energies, powers,and vision of the man.He was most sympathetic with the pur-poses and program of the School of Commerce and Administration. During his shortadministration he was of great assistance tous in the formulation of our plans, and gaveali possible co-operation in carrying themout. He was never so busy but that hecould spare some time to listen to our prob-lems and to give counsel in their solution.The Board of Trustees may be trusted toselect an able successor to President Burton.They will not, however, easily find anotherman who so fully possesses those rarequalities possessed by our late President,qualities so necessary in a president of agreat university: patience, human sympathy,wisdom, vision, organizing and administra-tive ability and Christian manhood.W. H. Spencer, Dean. O. Paul Decker, '24,Retiring C. and A. Student Council HeadThe Annual BanquetThe Annual Banquet of the School ofCommerce and Administration was held Fri-day evening, May 22, in Ida Noyes Hall.The increasing interest that is being takenin the School and its affairs was evidencedby the large attendance of students, alumni,and members of the faculty. Before the banquet, an informai reception was held in thefoyer.At six-thirty, dinner was served in therefectory which was appropriately decoratedwith beautiful spring flowers. Miss Colburnand her able assistants again demonstratedtheir ability to provide a most excellent re-past. After the dinner, those at-the speakers'table furnished a wide variety of wit andhumor that was quite in keeping with thespirit of the occasion.The first speaker on the program wasProfessor Charles Rist of the Law Department of the University of Paris. ProfessorRist told of some of his observations in theuniversities of this country and of his appreciation of the courtesy and cordiality ofAmerican students.Dean Spencer, who followed our Frenchguest, departed from the usuai performanceof after-dinner speakers by reading the courtrecord of one of the most unusual cases inthe Annals of American Law.Donald Beau, retiring president of theCommerce and Administration Alumni Association, spoke in behalf of the alumni andwelcomed the graduating Seniors to theAssociation.328Associations — Book Review 329Deans Tufts and Laing not only contrib-uted liberally to the entertainment, but alsoimpressed upon their listeners the impor-tance and advantages of a college education.John A. Logan, the new president of theAlumni Association, and A. C.

The book, by Lily B.Campbell, Ph. D. '21, attracted wide attention and received exceptionally favorable reviewsin British and American newspapers. As oneresult, Miss Campbell received an invitationto speak before the Elizabethan Club in London, of which club Sir Sidney Lee, the famousbiographer of Shakespeare, is president. Ofthe many reviews, we print here one that ap-peared in the Scotsman of Edinburgh :Undertaken as a dissertation for the degree of Ph. D. at the University of Chicago,this learned and interesting study is datedfrom the metropolis in California of the spec-tacular industry that floods the world withfilms displaying the most modem triumphsof stage decoration. It was from Italy thatthe Renaissance gave its impulse to newways of putting pieces on the stage, and theopening chapter of the book shows how,under the influence of Vitruvius, the Italiansbegan to improve upon the traditions inher-ited from the theaters of ancient Greece andRome. They paid more attention to per-spective. The book's illustrations reproduceinteresting examples of their Street scenesand interiors, in which a fiat cloth seems tohave done ali the work afterwards distrib-uted over several planes of wings and bor-ders. The "machines" they used are lesslucidly explained, owing to lack of material;but contemporary notes are given of the con-trivances, the "keraunoskopeion" and the"bronteion," which were used for simulatingthunder and lightning — "urns full of stonesthat were shot down along bronze vessels"and "a plank with a flash of lightning paintedon a dark background, which was shot outof a box into a receptacle below." TheFuries seem to have come up from thenether world by ladders, "scalas," whichseems a deplorable backsliding from thetrap-doors that were probably used in theancient Greek theater. The second part ofthe book goes on to consider the earlyclassical influences in England, when theTudors brought over craftsmen from Italy toproduce court entertainments with a spéc-tacular appeal. Then it deals with the dramatic representations in the grammarschools, Universities, and Inns of Court.The light thrown upon the mysteries ofscene-painting and stage effect by the de-scriptions of the masques mounted by theOffice of the Revels is scanty. The sceneryin the public theaters is better understood.It plainly depended on the Vitruvian revival.. It was not, however, till the seven-teenth century that the movement wentrapidly forward and astonishing transforma-tion scenes were invented. Ali this centersin the work of Inigo Jones, who had studiedin Italy, and who invented some of the de-vices afterwards adopted in the regulartheaters as part of their permanent struc-ture. The book opens up an interestingvista of study for producers seeking a wayout of the extravagances of stage-realism.NEWS OFTHE CLASSESAND ASSOCIATIONSClass Secretaries'93. Herman von Holst, 72 W.

This is the first part of a world surveyof economie geography prepared particularly,for the student of business, although it is val-uable for the general student who would de-velop an appreciation of the modem world.The book covers the several elements of thenaturai euvironment — climate, naturai vegeta-tion, land forms, soils, minerals — as they affecthuman life, and especially economie life. Astriking feature of the treatment is that eachchapter is in itself a world-wide survey of asingle environmental element or an intimatelyrelated group of elements.Another important book for May is a com-pletely revised edition (the eighth) of AManual of Style, compiled by the Staff of theUniversity of Chicago Press. Editors, authorsand advertisers, proofreaders and stenograph-ers, have long used it as an authoritativemanual.

George Alien, Secretaryof the Orientai Institute of the University.The early part of the year Dr. Alien returnedfrom a three months' trip up the Nile, during which he surveyed conditions and madesome comparisons between modem and ancient Egypt."It is certain that material conditions inEgypt are better now than they have everbeen before," Dr. Alien states. "There arenow many wealthy native Egyptians whohave accumulated their wealth during theyears since Great Britain took charge otaffairs. Many of them live in regular palaces."But the little farmer, or the man whohas not had a chance to rise to a fortune,is stili about as primitive as he was of old.He is being stirred up more and more todiscontent with foreign interference." Dr. Alien points to irrigation as the medium through which prosperity has cometo Egypt. Encroachment by the desert anddeposition of sediment by the Nile are Constant features of Egypt's problems. Thesimpler devices of the ancients met the needbut imperfectly. By building huge damsthat will supply water ali the year round, theBritish have provided a broader basis foragriculture, according to Dr. Alien."The assassination of Sir Lee Stack gavethe British an opportunity to demand thecontrol of additional water for irrigation pur-poses, in the Sudan," he continued. "Thereason why the Egyptians have been so seton sharing in the control of the Sudan liesin their fear that the British, if unchecked,might cut off the entire supply of water fromthe fields of Egypt. The natives do not real-ize that this would do as much harm toBritain's extensive interests in Egypt as itwould to Egypt's own."But the Egyptians want to rule them-sel.ves. They were more content under theirown kings, even though their Pharaohs ex-ploited them and made them build the Pyra-mids, those huge monuments of earthly van-ity that thus presumed to gain immortalityfor the king at the subjects' expense.1g/J ¦ INTERESTING FACTS OF HISTORYGeorge Washington and His CommissionV*v On July 3, 1775, Gen.

Butwith its great manufacturing, construction and commercial activities, the industry must have non-technicalmen too.Since the industry is manned by many types, the result of your work will depend a good deal an the successwith which you team up. The qualities that win are notonly efficiency attained by the light of a study lamp,but that all-pull-together spirit of the- athletic field.This point of view may be useful to the man whohas wondered whether campus activities, with ali theirstriving and stern testing, their setbacks and their tri-umphs, have any counterpart in after life.This advertisement is one of a series in student publicaiions. It may remind alumni of theiropportunity to help the undergraduate, by sugges-tion and advice, to get more out of his four years.Y340 The University of Chicago Magazines w I F T-d "'-'1¦**i< "5^ / vf yV'. . 1. 1^ -W\ r„V''.'1 ¦'-© S.&Co.Meat whirls to market!Day in and day out, fresh meat travelsacross the country, from the livestock pro-ducing sections, where the packing housesare located, to the heavily peopled con-suming centers.The hot sun of summer, the bitter coldof winter, rain, hail, snow, sleet, have noeffect. Regardless of the weather, meatleaves the packing plant in perfect con-dition and arrives at its destination sweet,clean, and wholesome.In the United States and Canada, forinstance, cars are loaded at more than 80points — at 29 packing plants and at morethan 50 butter, egg, and poultry plants.Shipments are made to more than 400branch houses and to many thousands ofsmall towns on over 500 "car routes."This means Swift & Company's fleet ofrefrigerator cars must be constantly dis-tributed in proper number to the 80 pointswhere shipments originate. They must besent to thousands of destinations by thequickest and shortest routes. They mustbe kept spick-and-span.They must be icedbefore leaving, and re-iced daily enroute.We must have our o'vn traine experts;o handle this work. Constant check is kepton every car on the rails. So efficienti y andsmoothly is the problem taken care of thatno plant is without cars for shipment, nocity or town is under-supplied.The Swift refrigerator car is the symbol of a service that never fails.Swift & Company ,Founded 1868Owned by more than 47,000 shareholders To Mr. Wilmer H.
