Part of thefirst floor will be devoted to a lecturehall seating 500. The estimatedcost is $75,000 to $80,000. Owingto the growth of the college theproposed Webster Hall will be usedexclusively for academic purposes.As a result of the recent midyearexaminations the Princeton facultyannounces that sixty-nine studentshave been dropped from the university for failing to meet the scholasticrequirements. This number is onlysix behind the record of last year,which marked the greatest Dumberof failures ever recorded at Princetonfrom one set of examinations.Out of 100 competitors Kiys SueInui, a Japanese student at theUniversity of Michigan. has won aplace among the six who will takepart in the annual oratorical contest.Inui is an athlete also, being on thebaseball squad a.t Ann Arbor.Cambridge University graduatesvoted last Friday and Saturday onthe question of the abolition ofcompulsory Greek.

Professor lIanly, Bead of EnglishDepartment, Lectures on theProgress of LiteratureNew Theory of Origin of Species as TrueFor the Drama .. for ScienceInfluence of DarwinProfessor Manly, head of theEnglish department of the University, delivered a lecture on "Literature and the New Theory of theOrigin of Species" yesterday afternoon before an .audience that completely filled Cobb Lecture Hall.This lecture was delivered by Dr.Manly several weeks ago at Princeton, and was given at the University at the reqnest of many who-heard of the Princeton address.Dr. Manly stated that in thesummer of 1003 his attention wasarrested by a brief report of a newtheory of the origin of species, thenow famous Mutation Theory ofProfessor Hugo DeVries. "Itdealt," said Dr. Manly, "with certain features of the development ofnew species of plants strikinglysimilar to those which I had reluctantly been forced by the evidenceto assume as true of the origins ofcertain forms of the drama inmediaeval and early modem times.Not being a botanist, I could notjudge of the soundness of the viewsof Prefessor DeVries, though thereasoning seemed to me valid andthe experiments conclusive; hut Itook the first opportunity to inquire of the botanists and zoologistsI knew and I learned essentiallythis:"That the way for DeVries' doctrine of mutation had been prepared by many investigators in demonstrations, that the process mainlyrelied on by Darwin for the transfor.nation of species could not produce the results; that new speciesof plants had actually come into existence under DeVries' personal observation: that his experiments had .been successfully repeated by otherinvestigators; and that his .workmarked an epoch in the history ofnatural science fairly comparablewith that of Darwin."All of us know when we stopto think of it, that the doctrine ofevolution did not begin with Darwin. Long before his day studentsof the forms of life upon earth hadheld that all forms had been derived by differentiation from otherforms and that all went back ultimately to a simple form of infinitepossibilities of development. Thisview had many adherents; botanists,zoologists, geologists, and evenpoets, like Tennyson, adopted it.But it remained only a theory whichintelligent men might believe untilDarwin made it a, doctrine to be accepted by all men not already committed by age to other views of theprocesses of creation. Most people,indeed, after the fashion of mostpeople, became more Darwinianthan himself. It may be safely asserted that, if he had lived, Darwinwould not have been a Darwinian.The German Club 'will meet in GreenHall Friday afternoon. WUl Lecture on ParsifalDr. Nathaniel I.

' 902 Notes from the SettlementUniversity folk will readily recallProfessor Masaryk, of the University of Prague, who was in thiscountry nearly three years ago, Helectured at t he University duringthe summer quarter of that year.In March of last year ProfessorMasaryk's daughter. who is a graduate of Prague, came to America tostudy the Bohemians in this COUl1�try. Chicago is the third largestBohemian city in the world. Itcontains over lOO,<X>O Bohemianswhich means that only Vienna andPrague out class it in Bohemianpopulation.Miss Masarvk came to Chicago,naturally, to study the Bohemianin America under Urban conditions.She bas lived at the University of.Chicago Settlement during the pastyear,Miss Masaryk's purpose has beento leave behind her something thatwill live after she has returned toEurope. Among other enterprisesshe has started she has gatheredthe Bohemian children in the Settlement neighborhood into a club,numbering about two hundred.These children meet once a weekand are instructed in their own language, their OW11 history and theirown beautiful fireside children'sstories.Not long ago an entertainmentgiven by the Bohemians of theStock Yards district sixty-eightdollars was made to start a children's library that will be perm anent.Tuesday evening the BohemianWoman's Club met at the Settlement club rooms. Thcy 'decidedtheir contribution to the "Co-operative" to be given in April shallbe a tableau of some historic Bohemian event. The' Bohemian womenare very efficient, and never fail tocontribute a strong number to' theprogram.The children's gymnasium classesat the Settlement. under the instruction of faithful University students, give an exhibition of classwork next week. The object ofthe entertainment is two-fold-toget the parents of these children intouch with the Settlement; and theproceeds is to pay for some equipment recently purchased.NawS CONTRIBUTIONS REQUESTED.P1abUabe4 b,. the MudeDt. of the UDlnraIt7 el CllIcaao eyerJ artemooD, acept8at1ll'da7 aDd SUDdaJ, durlnc three .uar... at tbe UD1 .... ralt,.

Professor Meyer Says .uDicipal OwDership in EDgland is a Failure"The experience of Great Britainin municipal ownership has beenthe same as that of Prussia, Italy,France and Russia, and proves thatgovernments are not beneficent institutions but are actuated by thesame motives as 'dividend seeking'corporations. In the governmentmunicipal ownership of electriclighting plants, telephone systems,and other similar public utilities, aswell as street-railways, Great Britain has scored an unequivocal failure."The above statement was madeby Professor Meyer in the secondpart of his lecture, "Great Britain'sLesson in Municipal Ownership forthe United States" The first division of his lecture, delivered a weekago, treated of the failure of municipal ownership of street-railways;this, of the failure with the ownership of such public service agenciesas electric light, water, telephoneand the like."The paralysis of British industrial progress has been caused bythe attitude of the municipalities,and by trade-unionism," continuedProfessor Meyer.• 'Trade-unionism has been disastrous by its opposition of the introduction of machinery, and. itslimiting the output of the individual."1�he government of Great Britain opposed the introduction of thetelephone because if would interfere with its monopoly of the statetelegraph. As a result, there I areone-eighth the number of telephones in the United Kingdom asits population would warrant.Now, for the same reason, the government is doing everything in itspower against wireless telegraphy.Parliament, moreover, does notdare to run counter to the nationalprejudice against 'profit-seeking'corporations."In the matter of electric-lighting plants, Great Britain is woefully behind the rest of the world.If England had as many electriclighting plants as the United States,in the ratio of the population andnumber of cities, she would havefour times as many as now; 1250,instead of 320. In Great Britain,there are 3 cities of a populationof 50,000 without plants; 13 of 40,-000; 82 of 30,000. Moreover, thisis the result of the attitude of themunicipalities."In 1881 a powerful companywas organized to go into the business of establishing electric lightplants, but on account of adverselegislation, it was compelled toleave the field. Before 1877, seventy-seven. British municipalities,at the advice of Joseph ChamberIain, had bought ps plants. Asthey feared that the introduction ofelectricity would injure their monopoly, and Chamberlain, who atthis time was head of the Board ofTrade, saw that if they did losemoney he would be blamed for it,all legislation favorable to the introduction of electric light plantswas dropped."Up to the year 19<X>, only thecentral area of the largest citieswas served by electricity. Practically no residences were suppliedwith it. The cities were very fondof taking out a charter to build aplant and then sit on it for years.The German system of cheap poweris unknown in Great Britain forthe same reason.• 'The only salvation for populardemocracy is to reduce governmentto the minimum. The captains ofindustry have justified our doctrineof laissez faire, Competition andliberal supply has only been possible this way. Not until the soulless corporation is proved a menacedo we need to curb it."

Laurence Laughlin, Universityof Chicago, Chairman; ProfessorJ B. Clark, Columbia University:Professor Henry C. Adams, University of Michigan; Horace White,Esq., New York City. and Hon.Carroll D. Wright, Clark College,have been enabled, through thegenerosity of Messrs. Hart, Schaffner and Marx, of Chicago, to offeragain in 1900 four prizes for thebest studies on anyone of thefollowing SUbjects:1. To what extent, and by what administrative body, should the public attempt to control railway rates in interstatecommerce?2. A just and practicable way of taxingrailway property.3. Will the present policy of the laborunions in dealing with non-union men,and the "closed shop" further the intersts of the workingmen?4. Should ship subsidies be offered bythe government of the United States?5. An examination into the economiccauses of large fortunes in this country.6. The influence of credit on the levelof prices.7. The cattle industry in its relation tothe ranchman, feeder, packer, railway,and consumer.8. Should the government seek tocontrol or regulate, the use of mines ofcoal, iron, or other raw materials, whosesupply may become the subject of monopoly?9. What provision can be made forworkingmen to avoid the economic inseourity said to accompany the modemwage-system? -A first prize of one thousand dollars, and second prize of five hundred dollars in cash are offered forthe best studies presented by classA, composed exclusively of all persons who have received the 'bachelor's degree from an American college in 1894, or thereafter; and afirst prize of three hundred dollars,and a second prize of one hundred and fifty dollars, in cashare offered for the best studies presented by Class B, composed ofpersons who, at the time the papersare sent in, are undergraduates ofany American college. No one inClass A may compete in Class B;but anyone in Class B may compete in Class A. The Committeereserves to itself the right to awardthe two prizes of $1,000 and $500to undergraduates, if the merits ofthe papers demand it.The ownership of the copyrightof successfnl studies will vest in thedonors, and it is expected that,without precluding the use of these, papers as theses for higher degrees,they will cause them to be issuedin some permanent form.Competitors are advised that thestudies should be thorough, expressed in good English, and notneedlessly expanded. They shouldbe inscribed with an assumed namethe year when the bachelor's degreewas received, and the institutionwhich conferred the degree or inwhich he is studying, and accompanied by a sealed envelope givingthe real name and address of thecompetitor.

MARCH 16, 1905GROWTH OF THE DRAMAContinued from fil'llt pqe. c:olWllll 4.; : His greatness is two·fold,-intelleetnal, because he introduced ordernto chaos by a few simple dominating ideas; temporal, because hesimply and sincerely cared, not toestablish his own theories, but toget all possible light from all possible sources upon the problem thatengaged him. No modification thatscience may be obliged to make inhis theories can affect his importanceas a thinker or his greatness as aman."Darwin distinguished two typesof variation in the vague, swirlingchaos of genera and species andvarieties; one, that which is knownas fluctuating, the other, what hecalled chance-variation and whatDeVries indicates more definitelyas mutation. Fluctuating variation is, in short, that which makesone individual a little better thananother. What Darwin called'chance variations' and DeVries'mutations' are those sudden andunaccountable differences which occasiona1ly occur and take the individual entirely out of his class. Its not strange that Darwin laidprincipal stress-upon the !A>ssibil.ities of these scarcely perceptiblevariations, especially as his doctrineof natural selection seemed to makenature as careful a breeder as man."But what has this to do withthe development of literature? Literature is not a plant or an animal.It develops in accordance with thelaws of it own existence. Nooneis more ready than I to recognizethat principles true of the development of plants and animals have nonecessary validity for works of art.But the whole process of humanthought has, whether we like it ornot, been transformed by the theories of Darwin. We may misunderstand the conceptions of evolution, we may misuse them, denythem; the one thing we cannot dois to speak or even think as' if theyhad never existed."When I began fifteen years agoto study the origins of the modemdrama, I was not conscious of theinfluence of Darwin; the problemseemed to me to be the problem ofcollecting the evidence of the gradual and almost imperceptiblechanges in something that had existed before. But I found no changefrom the non-dramatic to the dramatic so imperceptible that the moment of change could not be indicated. There was,' on the otherhand, a large amount of variationof non-dramatic form which neverbecame drama,' and then with absolute suddenness came the drama,created at one moment. createdwithout any reference to the futilevariations that had preceded. There'was the mass, capable of developinginto drama; there was epic poetrythat was dialogic and vivid; therewere sermons that used dialogue toheighten the effect-all these wouldhave been drama if they hadn't remained something else."If we begin with the fifteenthcentury, we find three generallyrecognized types of the drama:mystery, miracle play and morality.They begin at different times. Themorality did not exist before thefifteenth century; the miracle playis not to be discovered before 1100:the mystery play is at least two• centuries later. Its beginning cannot be definitely traced. It comesinto existence by one simple anddefinite movement."After giving a brief statement ofthe development of the religiousdrama Dr. Manly said: "The formof drama thus developed grew almost beyond belief, but in character, in type, in essentials, it remained always to the end of its existence seven hundred years laterprecisely what it was in its origin."The second form of the drama, that arose in the middle ages wasthe miracle play, properly so called,that is the dramatization of a legend setting forth the life, or thomartyrdom, or the miracles of asaint."In essential characteristics themorality is very simple and its origin can be very definitely traced.'During the last three centuries ofthe middle ages the ruling form ofliterature was the allegory. By thistime the dramatic method hadclearly shown its capacity for reaching a large and miscellaneous audi-.ence, and for moving it as no otherform of literature could move it.The combination of this favonteform of literature with this 1110steffective mode of presentation wasmade, and .the immediate result wasthe morality."Dr. Manly then took" Everyman"as an example of the morality play,and gave a brief account of the plot.He stated that the pastoral dramaof I taly and the farce of Englandand France have had their origin ina single movement; The same wastrue of blank verse. He also spokeof literary founs and their originsand "mutations."SPECIAL RATES TO WISCONSINStudents Who Wish to Accompany TrackTeam GiTen Good OpportunityThe students who wish to accompany the track team to WisconsinSaturday can do so at a very smallexpense.
