M.Ban was unable to assume his newduties at the beginning of the quar­ter, although he was expected to doso, because of his inability to breakaway from his former position.M. Ban, since his arrival in Amer­ica, has been connected with many ofthe most prominent clubs and hotelsin the country, particularly aroundand in Chicago. He is familiar withthe Oxford quadrangles and withstudent life at that institution, and itis said that his fondness for studentsand for student life made him parti­cularly eager to accept his new posi­tion.To Have On:bestra.An innovation which the new ca­terer is planning to introduce is astudent on:hestra, which 'WIll play atdinner three times a week.

The "Big Eight" representa­tives, who met in the Palmer House,adopted some revolutionary resolu­tions.The delegates declared that the ac­tion against the athletic directors wasnot personal, but was merely in pur­suance with new Conference ideals.The re--olut ion reads as follows:"Resolved, That the faculty represen­tatives of each 'university in the Con­ference must be a person who re­ceives no pay for any services con­nected with athletics or the depart­ments of physical culture."Favor New Rules.Another radical change was theadoption of a resolution favoring anew set of football rules for the Con­ference. Dissatisfaction with the"rulings made by the Eastern rulescommittee was the cause of thismove. This will effectually prohibitall intersectional contests. The reso- 'lution reads as follows: "Resolved,That each member of the Conferencedesignate a man from his institutionto serve on a technical committee onfootball rules and to make report tothis Conference."It is expected that members of thenew football committee will includeCoach Stagg.

X ear by lives Klingsor, amagician ,who, 1100 sensual and world­ly to be made a knight of the Grail,even after mutilating himself, has hisrevenge in seducing the knights bymeans of lovely women. � Amfortashimself has succumbed to one of these�Kundry, a strange being, who, forlaughing at Jesus when He was carry­ing His cross, ltls been doomed 'towander in torment until some oneshall deliver her by his love. . Duringthe infatuation of Amfortas, Kling­sor takes from him the holy spebr­the weapon with which the Romansoldier had pierced the Saviour's side.With this he gives Amfortas a woundthat nothing can heal. The brother­hood thus mourns the loss of thespear, while Amfortas endures, in ad­dition to his physical agony, the men­tal pain of knowing tI�t all their mis­fortunes are due to his sin."The Firat Act.- In the first act of the drama it ili.stated !::,- Gurnomanz, a knight of the.Grail, that there can be no recoveryfor Amfortas so long as the spearremains in the hands of Klingsor, andthat a voice from the Grail had de­cbred that "a guileless fool, the chos­en one," alone could effect a cure.Parsifal appears, and having killed aswan, is hitterly reproached for hissavage act by the assembled knights.Gurnemanz, believing that he may bethe guileless fool, takes him to theHall of the Grail in the hope thiat hewill ibring redemption to the strickenking_ But Parsifal, having witnessedthe uncovering of the Gl'ail, �hichbrings renewed strength to theknights, . and having seen, too, thebrotherhood partake of the HolySupper, is merely m)"Sti fi ed, and, inanswer eo Gurnemanz's anxious ques­tionings, gives unintelligible replies.The knight, bitterly disappointed,turns the youth roughly away. In thesecond .act Kliogsor ·summons Kun­'dry to his magic castle to accomplishthe .seduction and downfall of Parsi­fal, as she had accomplished that ofAmfortas. Loathing her task, butsubmissive to the wiJI of the magi­cian, Kundry weaves, but un success­fuUy, her spetIs around the youth.A passionate kiss pressed on his lipsby Kundry illuminates the soul ofthe guileless Parsifal. Ssarting up interror, he understands for the firsttime the meaning of Amfortas'swound. He feels its burning agonyin . his own heart.Parsifal spurns the woman, whocans upon Klingsor. The magician ap-• pears and hurls the sacred spear atthe youth. The weapon remains,however, poised in the air above Par­sifal's bead: He seizes it, and, asKJingsor's castle falls in ruins, the"guileless one" sets out upon his longjou,:,ney to seek �e flome of the Grail.

Gurnemanz,not having' recognized the stranger,reproaches him for having enteredarmed the sacred preciuct s of theGrail. Laying iaside his armor Parsi­fal is made known, and Gurnemanznarrates how the Knights of theGrail .have fallen upon an evil plight;ior Amfortas no longer takes the hal­lowed cup from out its shrine, oradministers the sacred food. Parsifalis ove rcome with grici and anguish.He is led by Gurnemanz and Kundryto a spring. and there the woman·hathes his feet and dries them withher hair, while Gurnemanz anointshim king. Parsifal bends down tothe spring and taking a little waterin his hand baptizes Kundry. Heturns around und perceives the smil-. ing beauty of the woods and fields,and Gurnemanz explains that theloveliness of nature on this Good Fri­day is an expression of the world'sgratitude to the Redeemer.
