HOLD PRESIDENT'SRECEPTION FRIDAYIN REYNOLDS CLUBProf. Van der Essen, in New Book,Says Historians Cannot Fail toReach That Conclusion---Country'sStand Explaineci. Spirit of Democracy and Informality to Pervade AlIUniversity Get-Together.Belgians never' will be slaves, according to Prof. Leon Van der Essen, professor of History in the University of Louvain. This statementis made in his volume on "A ShortHistory of Belgium," which was issued yesterday by the UniversityPress.The predominant spirt of the Belgiam people is brought out by theauthor in the epilogue of the volume,in which he writes:"He who is acquainted with thehistory of Belgium through the ages-the unflinching character of herpeople, and the love for liberty andindependence which successively inspired the victors of the battle of theGolden Suprs, the six hundred Franchimontois who gave their lives tosave Liege from outrage of Charlesthe Bold, the Duke of Burgundy, therevolt .against Spain, the iBrabantrevolution of 1789, the War of thePeasants. against the "San-culottes,"and the citizens who fought PrincqFrederick of Holland in the streetsof Brussels-can reach but one conclusion: Belgians never will beslaves." A spirit of democracy and informality will pervade the President's reception, which will be held Fridaynight from 8:30 to 10:30 in Hutchinson commons and the Reynolds c'ub.Four campus organizations are combining their efforts to insure the success of the President's reception asan All-University get-together.The Women's Administrative council, the Y.

Ex_'ains Belgium's Stand.Prof. Van der Essen's work givesa past history of the Belgian people, leaving out any consideration oftheir present predicament and misforlunes. ......... ··/l'hroog&out-,· the- ,hi�tory,. however, those qualities and characteristics of the Belgians are emphasized which explain why the Belgiannation took the stand it did at thebeginning of the European war.In speaking of the treaty of London of 1831, the termination of theBelgian revolt from the Dutch, Prof.Van der Essen seys:"The treaty of London is the famous scrap of paper of which theGerman chanceller spoke so disdainfully on August 14, 1914. ArticleVII of the treaty of London declares! hat Belgium .shall form an independent and perpetually neutral state.It also states that Belgium shall bebound to observe such neutrality toward all other states.Must Defend Neutrality."On the other hand. the neutralizedstate must itself defend its neutrality, and adopt all the measures needed for such defense. For this reason international law holds that aneutralized state which commits anact of defense is not to be consideredin a state of war with the powerwhich violates its neutrality. Moreover the neutral state must preventtroops or convoys of a belligerentpower from passing through its ter-:ritory."The measures of defense institutedhy Leopold II, are especially significant as they determined to a largedegree the military condition of Belgium at the opening of the presentwar. Of these Dr. Van der Essensays :Com mends Leopold's Work."The forts on the Meuse were hiswork. The reform and increase ofthe Belgian army was also largelydue to Leopold II." ./Prof. Van der Essen gave a seriesof lectures on the history of Bel�dum at the University last spring.

JANUARY 11, 1916."FOR EAST IS EAST:'Among the letters received inour last week-end mail was oneof unusual interest. both be"cause of the naive viewpoint ofthe writer and because of thevista of thought which it opensup. We publish this missiveanonymously, since the name ofthe author is unnecessary to anunderstanding of the materialpresented. We take the libertyof replying by an open letter,with the supposition that thesubject-matter concerns faculty,students and alumni of the University. The' following letter iswritten by the editor of a leading �astern college daily:To the Editor of the Daily Maroon:In your position you can perhaps�mpathize with me in trying to collect some few facts concerning aphase of college life for a special article for our monthly magazine. 1know that I can sympathize withyou as being the center of innumerabe inquiries for just such materialof divers sorts and value.What I am after is the methodof handling freshmen in the University of Chicago. While your collegiate year differs somewhat fromours. nevertheless, I believe your entering class comes in in the fall delightfully fresh and bumptious fromthe thrilling experience of being"prep" or high school seniors. Haveyou any method of hazing, modifiedor otherwise? If not, when' was itabolished (taking for granted thatyou had it once)? Does the fresh·man class spirit suffice to keep the.men obedient to rules and traditions?At Princeton I find that with theabolition of a two-weeks hazing period with definite space limits and notafter nine o'clock at night. finds thefreshman class gradually encroachingupon those customs of long standingin a manner which bids fair to undermine the whole relation between upper and lower classrnen.The benefit of hazing to develop adeeper, more dependent - upon - eachother spirit within the freshman classis undoubted. The insidious andhardly preventablo attempts of freshmen to mix j:!'enerally and associatewith sophomores and juniors willwork just opposite from a deep classspirit, in my opinion.Hazing does not have to be theman-handling kind which may injureor disfigure a rna nfor life. It needsor disfigure a man for life. It needsmake a freshman think what he isdoing whenever he deliberately nolates freshman rules.After this lengthy exposition of myown views, may I ask you to jotdown whatever success Chicago hashad in the problem and perhaps also your own views in the matter.To this letter, we respond ina vein which needs must besomewhat personal. V,le have,however, attempted to interpretthe University's attitude towardhazing, toward traditions andtoward the freshman. We reply as follows:To the Editor of The ----Possibly you will be unable to reconcile yourself to the University ofChicago's views with regard to thesemutters, as I see them. Were itnot for the fact that members ofmy family and numerous friends areeastern colleg e graduates and holdmuch the snrne theories relative toh'-tzil�� and college tradit.ions, Ishould han! been at a loss to unders and how any civilized person couldpen such reactionary ideas concernin� college customs as did you.The only appreciable remnant ofSUCi1 usages whieh have survived at� he University of Chicago is theThree Quarters club, a freshman org-anization conducted by -sophomorcmembers, whose purpose is to sooththe untamed spirit of high schoolseniors who have just matriculated.!n this society, gullible freshmen areinduced to climb campus trees, ridehubby-horses, -run piggy-back racesand perform similar antics whichlabel them as confirmed exponents ofstupidity. And even this organizat.on is realizing the error of its ways.Possibly it is due to the youth ofthe University of Chicago as contrasted with the venerability of youruniversity. possibly it is due to themetropolitan influences of the cityof Chicago, and probably it is because "East is East and West iswest, and never the Twain shallmeet"; but for some reason hazing,as I have heard it mentioned, is regarded as a provincial relic. a colonial survival which is, to term it mildly, unbecoming the dignity of a higher educational institution.In 1645, a mean from Virginia, reported to have skill in necromancy,was "blown up" in Boston Harbor,and 'strange to relate it was accounted a marvel that he could neverafterward be found. This incident issymbolic of the taboo of hazing inWestern colleges, as it is regardedby students in the East. The theory of hazing was exploded years agoin the Middle West, and the Easterners still consider it miraculous thathazing has ceased to exist. Rulesstill persist at the University of Chicago. But these regulations applY/'to rill students, regardless of the classin which they are enrolled. To remove the hat out of deference forthe Alma Mater or as a token of respect to the President, to discardpreparatory school insignia upon entrance into college, and to refrainfrom marking up property belongingto the University-all these are traditions applicable to seniors andfreshman alike. Class spirit at Chicago tends to be included in a greater University spirit. An interdependence between student and Univerversity, rather than a dependence 'Offreshman upon freshman. is the resuIt. To squelch the exuberant spiritof the man just arrived from hissenior year in high school by tyinghim to. a railroad track, boiling himin oil and thrusting a bodkin throughhis tongue. is regarded as an outworncreed.The University of Chicago welcomes the freshman with open arms.The upperclass counsellor system isan organization intended to assistthe newcomer to gain a secure footing' on the campus and to point outthe responsibilities he assumes uponbecoming a member of the Universitycommunity. The first year class isrepresented in the Undergraduatecouncil. in the Honor commission, inreligious bodies. in athletics. in thecollege paper, and. in short. in allleading student activities. The spiritis rather one of, cooperation betweenupperclassman and freshman, thanone of contempt for the younger byt he elder student.Last week. the Senior class invitedAlfred Noyes to lecture at the Uni- vcrsity. If such a .precedent can beestablished as a tradition at theUniversity, then we say, "Excellent!The whole community can derivebenefit from such a custom. Make ita tradition."The Senior class mustache race, aflourishing tradition at the University until this year, died of naturalcauses. This is a rather literal proofof the fact that no tradition can bedragged in by the hair.Probably our varying views onthis subject are more deep-rootedthan the college. The two universities have been reared in different environmnts, and different means arenecessary to attain the identical end.DOlTGLASS SOUTHERLAND.'02. PREPARES P Al\lPHLETO� TAX REVISION CASEQuestion Involves Pending Amendment to Illinois ConstitutionCites Other States.A pamphlet on "The Case for TaxRevision," issued recently by theIllinois Tax Amendment committee,has been prepared by Douglas Sutherland, '02. The question involvesthe pending amendment to the Illinois constitution. which will be votedon at the general election in Novem-:l er. The amendment is designed toauthorize gneral assemblies to reviseour present personal 'property taxlaws."Tax dodging in Illinois has become notorious," .says the booklet."Largely as a result of this there isgeneral complaint of undue and incrcaseing burdens upon real estate;of double taxation; of inequality oftax burdens; of inadequate publicrevenues. and of 'burdens falling upon the weak and unwary, while theshrewd and powerful escape."The writer claims that other states,similar in character to Illinois, havemade tax dodging a rare offense instead of a common habit, and havedevised means for taxing effectivelyand justly those classes of property'which largely escape in Illinois.Get Larger Revenues.Moreover, these states are said toderive from' them larger revenuesWith less friction. The constitution atpresent prevents the Illinois generalassembly from adopting any of thesemethods.The pending amendment. if approved by the people, win merelygive to our general asse�ly thepower over personal property taxlaws which will enable them to meetmodern conditions and such futureproblems as may arise-a legislativepower now allowed by Connecticut,New York, Rhode Island, Michigan,Minnesota, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania,Virginia, Maryland, and other states.Case. is Stated.In part one of the pamphlet. thestatement of the case is taken up.This part explains that present system, the evils of the present system,what rigid enforcement would mean.history of the tax revision movement,the effects and possibilities of theproposed amendment, greater revenues from new intangible taxes.Part two takes up the tax systems of other states. Part threetakes up general expert opinion andpart four is an appendix.HOME AND EDUCATIONDEPARTMENT TO HOLDMEETING THURSDAY.The Home and Education department of the University high schoolParent's association will hold itsthird meeting Thursday at 3 in Emmons Blaine 214.
