E. E. SLOSSON.This is the sixth installment of anarticle written in the Independentmagazine by Dr. E E. Slosson on �eUniversity of Chicago. The next mstallment will appear in tomorrow'sissue of The Daily Maro�n.Athletics have been kept on an unusually high plane by the rebou�tableMr. Stagg, without loss of efficlen.cy,and yet do not absorb the attennonof the student body so exclusively �sat some other institutions. Musicand dramatics are cultivated by thestudents in much ;;the same way asthey are everywhere. Publi� speaking and debating have been g1\:en unusual prominence in the eurriculum,but are not, I think,· so popular �svoluntary exercises as they are Insome of the state universities. Literary propensities do not seem to beso spontaneous and irresistible as onewould expect in an institution of itssize and character and location.There is no literary magazine publy published by the stude�ts. ..1 askedof the officials of. the University whynot and he said it was because thestudents. .wrote 'so-well .that their- 31'ticl�s- w�re accepted by the easternmagazines. There is no comic weekly published by he students. I askedan olicial of another university whynot and he said it was because theUniversity �f Chicago was funnyenough without it. These two explanations may be, and I hope will betaken for what they are worth. Thefaculty cannot be held responsible fotthe comparative lack of literary ambition among the students. The English department has, it is true, be.eninclined to lay more stress on the linguistic than the literary side, but italso has had more men who could dooriginal work in English-using thephrase in its true sense-than onecommonly finds in universities; forexample, Professor Herrick, who canwrite novels that sell, and ProfessorMoody, who can write plays that pay.The architecture of the Universityof Chicago, considered as a whole, issuperior to that of any other universit v. There are individual buildingsat .other places which are finer thananything at Chicago, but nowhereelse so harmonious and satisfactory agroup. The architectural plans for allfuture buildings so far as could beanticipated were drawn up before afoundation stone was laid. and although the growth of the Universftyhas surpassed even the audacious ima�inations of the founders. yet the�eneral design and a�rangement hasproved flexible enough so that no discordant variations have been introduced. The University has graduallynicked up property in the neighborhood until now it owns the land onboth sides of the Midway Plaisancefrom Washington park almost toJackson park. so that this milestretch of greenery between two spacious playgrounds forms virtually thecampus of the University. an unrivalcd site for a city institution. Herewhen thc University opened theAmerican people were celebratingtheir discovery' by Columbus in various fantastic ways.

The mid-winter is the only time in my opinion togive a formal dance, and so is the logical time for our one big affair., Thesocial season is now evenly balancedby the Washington prom and shouldcontinue to be so. I don't believe theaction of the Senior class should beconsidered, as it was hasty, withouttime for consideration and was probably voted on by many, as by myself,with carelessness. The members present should not represent a class of. two hundred-and thitty.

WOMAN'S INTEWGENCEDESER\'Es SUFFRAGEMn. w. I. TIao ... ill Talk ill ModelHaD Adyocaies Votes forW ... ea.SUFFRAGE WILL NOT RUIN HOMESpeaker Declares Women Want aChance at Administrative Sideof Affairs.Votes for women because of whattheir intelligence can contribute tothe better of the administrative system and not because of the old argument of rights, was the plea' of Mrs,\V. I. Thomas in her lecture to theEqual Suffrage league in Cobb hallyesterday afternoon. :\Irs. Thomas,after discussing the artificial relationwhich exists between the sexes, andthe taking away of the participationof women in industry. which has comeas a result of the factory system, said:"The men have the same old arguments against suffrage. They canfind no new ones. Their methods arecomparable with the baby alleys inthe amusement parks, wnere me menare always knocking down the sameold Liza Janes and Anna Lous, whoare aLways to be seen, however. sitting up again. We have the idealsof the world .and we want to takethem out into the world. 'Ve havecut loose from the old idea of rightin pleading for suffrage. N ow wehave a part to play in the world andwe want to play it."Hits "Buain�ol-PoIitic&-�," �1\1 rs. Thomas then attacked the"business" basis on which men haveconducted politics, the same system�hich Alderman Charles E. Merriamis now revealing. "What ProfessorMerriam is now doing the womenwould have done long ago," says Mrs.Thomas. "We realize the thingswhich are wrong. The suffrage willnot disrupt the home. Men must realize that it is the industrial situationand wide open resorts which arebreaking up the home. Voting tomen is an incidental thing, and it willbe incidental to women. If the polling places are no fit places for women to go and cast their vote whyshould they not be changed and madebetter? Voting does not interfere anymore with the conduct of the homethan does going around the corner tothe market."Women Want "Direct Action."The speaker asked the question of'Why 'we are educated if not to giveour energy to some sort of participation. Otherwise education is illogical. "We are tired of putting-on ourfine clothes and pleading to the menfor what we wish. We want a more�ircct way. and it is proper that we�Id' exact it. It isn't a question ofrigl1t'.3,l all. \Y e have an intelligencegreater 'than many of the men whocope with the modern political problems."Finland is the only country in theworld which has treated its womenright in giving them the suffrage. Inthe times of the Civil war in Americamany of the women leit behind by thedrafting of men in the armies conducted the affairs of the community.Then when the men came back thewomen were told to go way back andsit down. 'Ve don't want to participate in the administrative side of affairs, for this would only interfere.What we do want is a chance to contribute our intelligence to the betterment of the administrative system,and I am sure of victory. We havedone the state some service and theyknow it." "HARD TIMES" PARn TONIGHTRumors Aftoat of Dark Conspiracy on.Part of Women to Inveigle Men into Costumes to Match Those TheyWill Wear.Now that the Reynolds club HardTimes party is only a few hours distant, many interesting things concerning the affair are coming to light.One of the most startling of the rtcent exposures is that the costumesin 'which many of the prominent campus political lights are to appear ar�not of their own choosing. All theinformation which has been circulated about prominent athletes beingseen in classroom with Delineators orPictorial Reviews concealed undertheir notebooks seems to be merely inspired rumor set afloat for the purposeof concealing from the University publie the real strength of the suffragette PURPLE MEETS CHICAGOIN FIRST BIG CONTESTFat Practice Results ill bU1II'J toPqe---Ma, Pat ill PatchedLiae Up.HOFFMAN, PAGE AND SAUER OUT!Consistent Work Done by FreshmenDouble Quintet-Give VarsityStiff Rub in Practice.Preparations are being made for abig game with .Northwestern tomorrow night and seats will be set up forfour or five hundred rooters for thefirst game of the schedule.

And he bas prejudice, quite unjustifiable, though inherited legitimately enough from theDeclaration of Independence, againstall things British. But one thingleads on to another. The antiquebuildings had to have furnishings tomatch, such, for example, as the chandeliers in the law library with porcelain candles, and massive lanterns,not giving light but lit up very prettily on the outside by electric bu�bs.With the buildings and the furnishings came the caps and gowns in colors and designs unrecognizable byMr. M. A. Oxon, but nevertheless fine.examples of the pseudo-antique, andserving to give visible emphasis tothe already exaggerated distinctionbetween men who have certain degrees and men who have them not.The gowns should, however, be madethicker, or the outside world may seethrough the pretentiousness of thepretense. The University of Chicagocarries, I think, its ritualism fartherthan any other American univer sity.I t has not as yet a golden mace likeYale, but on the other hand it requires academic costume for both examiners and candidates on the occasion of doctor's examination, which isnot the custom elsewhere so far asI know. This devotion to ceremonyis particularly curious in a Baptistinstitution when we consider whaticonoclastic and radical folk the Baptiste were in their early days. Ba�tist orthodoxy is unconventional.has sobered up since then. The Fer-T 0 D A Y ris wheel has long since rolled awayand the Haskell Oriental museum hastaken the place of the Streets ofCairo. But the Columbian Expositionaroused in the west a new enthusiasmfor good architecture, so the GreyCity owes much to the White Citythat preceded it, although its planswere made before the exposition.Most of its buildings have been giftsand memorials as such could properly be made beautiful without stopping to consider, for example, whether a pinnacle could be afforded on�litchell tower when Professor Williston wanted the money for a pterodactye, or to decide between the educational value of a gargoyle on the roofand a traveling library on the road.The buildings are on the whole convenient and well adapted to their respective purposes, and no serious sacrifices have been made for architectural effect. The later buildings havebeen imported from England, thoughnot in such a way as to be dutiableunder the art tariff. Hutchinson Commons, the men's dining room, is acopy of Christ Church hall, Oxford.Mitchell tower is taken from Magdalen. The Law building followsclosely the chapel of King's college,Cambridge. If our architects are incapable of originating, it is at leastcreditable that they can select suchgood models and imitate them' so adinirably. It gives the University tworooms hardly to be matched in America', the commons hall and the departmental library, which occupies the. upper floor of the Law building, ahundred and sixty feet long, fifty 'wideand forty high. If any criticism is tobe passed on the Chicago buildings itwould be that . they are too conventional and imitative. 'The new buildings of the College of the City ofNew York, for all their exasperatingdeckel edges, have in them, it seemsto me, more of the genuine Gothicspirit, its freedom, its daring, its ea-lPrice,_i.ts joy, �� livi�g. _ .The central edifice of the s(,uth facade, facing the Midway, will,- be theHarper Memorial library, for which$800,000 has been raised by a general subscription. Of this $200,000 willbe set aside as an endowment forkeeping the building in repair, a wise�precaution which university authori-ties generally overlook. This is verymuch needed, for no great university,not even Harvard. has had more inadequate library accommodations,The University of Chicago began its"library by buying out a . Bertin bookshop, the Calvary collection, supposed'to contain 280,000 volumes and 120,'000 pamphlets, but the stock had beenpretty well picked over and provedsomewhat disappointing both in num-·bers and quality. The University library i� now approaching the halfmillion mark, and students have alsothe advantages of three other big libraries in the city, the Newberry, theCrerar and the Public. On accountof the somewhat inefficient management of the general library and thelack of a central building, the departmental system has grown up in theUniversity and has become so deeplyrooted that it will be difficult tochange it. Professors have becomeused to having all their books handyand students delight to browse aroundthe open shelves, hitting on booksthey had never heard about and neverwould through a catalogue.

I believe the same can be said ofthe only other department of university work in which the public isenough interested to find fault, thatis, the department of sociology andpolitical economy, notwithsanding thewidespread opinion to the contrary.I doubt if any other university in thecountry, state or endowed. has produced a body of literature containingfranker criticism of existing industrial and social conditions or moreradical suggestions for their reformthan the publications of the University of Chicago. If any of the proIessors have failed to give adequateexpression to their feelings in this respect I think it must have been because of the limitations of the Englishlanguage rather than from an undueregard for the sensibilities of thewealthy patrons of the University:I ndeed I am inclined to think, the effeet is the other way. There is a piquancy, a dramatic thrill about circuculating radical views of sociologyin a periodical bearing the imprint,"Founded by John D. Rockefeller,"or about uttering heresies while standing in front of" the portrait of therichest Baptist in the world, and ittakes a strong character to resist thetemptation. The real strongholds ofconservatism, of dumb and stubbornreaction, theological and sociological,are not the great universities, but thesmall country colleges narrowly-watched by the devoted alumni andeverybody else for a hundred milesaround. The general public is rightfully suspicious of any attempt at restriction of freedom of speech," butlike a jealous wife is apt to be wrongabout the object of its susprcion.There are anti-democratic tendenciesobsejvable in our universities, butthey are, in my opinion, due to thegrowth of the spirit of Iuxury, caste,exclusiveness and arrogance, and notto any conspiracy of millionaires.

The Carnegie Foundationsays it is, basing its decision on thestipulation that two-thirds of the trustees and the president must be of thatdenomination. the one clause of the.charter stated to be forever unalterable. But on the contrary the hardshell brethren say it is not a Baptistinstitution but decidedly heretical anddangerous: In short, the Universityis too orthodox to get ,the Carnegiepensions-I beg your pardon, retir- POSTPONE MOOT COURTing allowances--and too heterodox to TRIAL UNTIL TOMORROWget the unanimous support -of the de-nomination. To pursue the middle James Parker Hall Law Club Con-course is most perilous, but usually venes Saturday to Hear Case ofthe wisest. Certainly it has proved Moore va. Beaton.so in this case. Whether Baptist ornot in the technical sense the University has been profoundly Christian inthe best sense. No creedal restrictios have been imposed upon the professors and the faculty contains representatives of most of the Christiandenominations as well as Jews, N eoPagans, Cynics and member of thosesolipistic sects common nowadayswhen every man may be his ownheresiarch. The University on.Its reincarnation - in 1892 took over the theological seminary of the Baptist Theological union and converted it intoa Divinity school of true universitygrade and scope, supported by �hestrong Semitic, Greek, philosophicaland sociological departments of therest of the University. The proportion of. non-Baptist students in theDivinity school has been of late over50 per cent, and is increasing. It is,of course, inevitable that a theological department sharing the life of agreat university should tend to become less narrowly denominational.But the service of the University toChristian education as to education ingeneral has not been confined to whatis . done within its walls. By meansof its periodicals and extension courses it has cultivated in a large partof the country a spirit of more thorough and conscientious study of theBible and introduced improved methods of teaching it. More than anyother university, I think, it has recognized that the great religious needof the day is the reconstruction oftheological conceptions and their reexpression in a form acceptable tothe intelligent man of today. Thefrank recognition of this need andthe courageous effort to meet it havebrought much obloquy upon the University from those who did not seethe necessity or the possibility ofsuch constructive work.

SALE OF SEASON TICKETSIS A DISAPPOINTMENTSecond Day Shows Little Improvement-Art Hoffman Urges Students to Purchase Tickets.The second day of the season ticketsale for the basketball and indoortrack contests was a disappointment.as only a few more were sold yesterday than the day before. Judgingfrom the sale of these tickets. there asyet does not seem to be much interest in the coming matches. The athletic department has decided not tomake any campaign to increase thesale of these tickets, but only to keepthe same on sale fur the benefit ofthose who desire to see the variouscontests at a marked reduction. Thetickets: which admit the bearer intoten matches. sell at $2, thus reducing the price of admission from fiftycents to twenty cents per contest.The seats are on sale from 10:30o'clock to 2 o'clock daily."It is rather discouraging to theteam:' said Captain Art Hoffman,"that no more of these tickets are being sold. I f this sale is an indication it does not look as if we .wil]have much support from the students.Basketball is one game that needs thesupport of the students, and the teamwould like to see more of these tickets sold. With the concession by theathletic department, one is enabled towitness ten contests at the price offour."DR. AND MRS.
