MayerJust as regularly as I stuff my gul¬let by day and crawl into my kennelat night there spill across my weed-clogged brain a lot of anomolous ideasabout what is thegreatest thing inthe world. I usedto begin by think¬ing it was love.Then I would comecome to the conclu¬sion that I didn’tknov/ what lovewas, and, unless Iacquired a new facepretty soon, neverwould. So I gaveup that idea. Afterthat I got aroundto thinking that itwas friendship that really mattered.Well, it wasn’t long before I got overthat puerile theory, and 1 began pok¬ing into corners for some other andmore durable greatest thing in theworld. Happiness, Fame, Obscurity,the Full Belly, and Freedom all fellby the way, and for a long time I saton my pants wondering what WASthe end of all things. Then I left offwondering, and confined my activityto just sitting on my pants. And thenit came to me—just like a bolt fromthe blue, as they say: the greatestthing in the world is comfort. It isthe all-in-all, the all-end-all, 1 am con¬vinced, the only one of all the greatestthings in the world that never (tor me,at least) loses the bloom of youth. 1have debated the thing with myself athousand times, and I have decided toannounce to my constituency that Istand squarely and solidly for com¬fort. By the cassocks of the twelveapostles and the molar teeth of thelamb of God, let all men hear my cry.* * *Now comfort in the abstract is onething, but comfort in the concrete—inround numbers, so to speak—is an¬other. I don’t like to come out in theopen like this, but as long as I amin the harness the readers of this col¬umn will have the unadorned, full¬blown truth. In a few well-chosenwords, the easy life does not grow ontrees. You will never find it, I amconvinced, in college, nor yet in theworld of men, nor yet in the solitarydepths of caves nor the sunlit hillsnor the churning sea. You will findit, my children, in a plentitude ofround, shining dollars—and you willfind it nowhere else. With enoughbucks, a man could buy himself anisland in the South Seas, say, whereno one could ever get at him exceptdeaf-mutes with books or bottles oraccordions, or whatever his favoriteform of diversion might come in. Hecould just watch the sands of life slipthrough his fingers, and never care atall. And then, w'hen his AppointedTime came, he could smoke his lastpipe or sip at his last Benedictine andsay with the poet:/ strove with none, for none wasworth the strife—Nature l loved, and, next to Na¬ture, Art.I wanned my hands before the fireof- Life—The flame sinks low, and 1 amready to depart.* * *God has His Christmas Message, thePresident has his. That, my friends, ismine. If, when the hour of the birthof the Prince of Peace draws nigh, Icould know that that choicest blessing,the blessing of comfort, was on allmen, I should down my Christmas hamand cabbage with a light heart. Butwhen I think of all the things I see,and all the things I don’t see, aboutme, I am not so sure. When I thinkof the men who will be standing onthe corner of Madison and Wells atnoon today, clutching at the first streetedition of the Daily News, and drink¬ing in the “Help Wanted” columnswith a dying gleam in their eyes, andwhen I think about the homeless peo¬ple dying and the homeless people be¬ing born, my round dinner-plate losesits lustre. We have our little worries,we idle boys and girls, but ours is agoodly lot, there is no use talking. COUNCIL NAMES PROM LEADERSBartlett Cormack Directs FriarsCOLEMAN’S JOBTAKEN OVER BYALUMNUS OF ’22New Producer Expected OnCampus About MarchFirstBartlett Cormack, who wrote aBlackfriars show himself once, is thenew Friars producer. Announcementof the appointment of Cormack, whosupplants Hamilton Coleman, the di¬rector from 191-1 to last year, wasmade yesterday by Abbot Ted Lock-ard. It is expected that the new' pro¬ducer will come to the Universityabout the first of March to take overthe destinies of this year’s show.Cormack’s experience in dramaticshas been exceptionally wide. The bugwas in him even as a kid, when hehaunted a little house on the WestSide where a third-rate stock companyheld forth. He entered the Universityin 1917 from U. High, where he hadbeen active in dramatics under FrankO’Hara, and in his freshman yearplayed a role in the current Friarsshow, ‘‘A Myth in Mandel.” In thatyear he also had the lead in the Dra¬matic Club’s production of Bennett’s“The Great Adventure,” and he acteddowntown with Maurice Browne’sLittle Theater company, at the Play¬house.Left Campus in 1918He left the University in the springof 1918, and was a reporter on theJournal and the American until his re¬turn to the campus in the fall of ’20.He carried four majors a quarter forthe next two years, and was graduatedwith special honors in English andGeneral Literature in the summer of1922. In those two years, he wasdramatic editor of The Daily Maroon,acted in dramatic club plays, andwrote the 1922 Blackfriars show,“Anybody’s Girl.” He was a memberof Beta Theta Pi.First Play RunningAfter some more newspaper work,Cormack soon slipped into press¬agenting for shows in Chicago, andfrom that into the business end of thetheater. He was company manager forseveral productions, and then branchedinto directing and staging—all as anapprenticeship for play-writing, whichhad been his target all along.His first play, “The Racket,” hasbeen produced within the last monthat the Ambassador Theater, NewYork. It w’as an immediate success,and the call was made upon Cormackfor more shows, on several of whichhe is now working.See No Change -In Condition ofDr. T. GoodspeedAs the Christmas issue of The DailyMaroon goes to press the condition ofThomas W. Goodspeed is unchanged.The former trustee and pioneer of theUniversity fell victim to a paralyticstroke Monday, and has been in gravecondition since.“Dr. Goodspeed is a little better todayand able to recognize his family,” saidProf. Edgar J. Goodspeed, his son,Wednesday. “We do not expect anychange for the worse.”The existence of the University islargely due to the untiring efforts of Dr.Goodspeed. When the old Universityof Chicago, which Dr. Goodspeed hadattended, failed, he induced John D.Rockefeller to endow the University,in 1892. University Development ProgramForwarded in 1927 ConstructionCarrying further its program of en¬largement and expansion, the Univer¬sity, in the last year, has erected threenew edifices, involving an expenditureof nearly $10,000,000.The three newest additions to theMidway sky line are the toweredUniversity Hospital and Clinics at In-gleside Avenue, the University Chapelat Woodlaw'n Avenue, and WieboldtHall of Modern Languages at Green¬wood Avenue, all recently finished orin the last stages of construction.$7,000,000 for MedicineThe new medical group, but a minorpart of the program for its extension,required $7,000,00 to be built. Otherbuildings to be erected in this unit, in¬clude the $1,400,000 Chicago Lying-InHospital, the $1,000,000 Bohs RobertsMemorial Hospital for Children, the$500,000 Charles Gilman Smith Hospi¬tal for Contagious Diseases, and the$300,000 Gertrude Dunn Hicks Hos¬pital for Orthopedic Surgery. Whenthis group of buildings is completed the blocks from Drexel to Ellis andfrom Fifty-eighth to Fifty-ninthstreets will be a solid mass of build¬ings and courtways.The great University Chapel, re¬puted to be the apex of Gothic archi¬tecture and the finest Cathedral in thecountry, is given to the University byJohn D. Rockefeller, who made hislast personal gift of $10,000,000 tothe University in 1910. The newchapel is to cost $1,700,000 and wasdesigned by Bertram Grosvenor Good-hue, the outstanding Gothic architectin the world before his death.Except for about fifty feet of the210 feet tower, all of the exterior workof the chapel has been finished. Rival¬ing in grandeur the great medievalcathedrals of Europe, which requiredyears for construction, the Universitychapel will dominate the campus asthe symbol of its idealism. Having? seating capacity for 2.000 people,the chapel will have a larger capacitythan any other University building.Robert E.

If the integration of theseconcepts into a single image seemsdifficult, it is, however, in keeping withthe situation, so various are the inter¬ests, personalities, and activities of themembers of our college group.“Opportunity Is Spirit”I feel that we have made progressthis year toward the ideal which 1 amconvinced is attainable if interest anddesire are shared by both student bodyand faculty—the evolution of a collegein which, as I have said many times,opportunity and not compulsion is thespirit of performance — a collegethrough which 'our years of vivid andhappy independent intellectual adven¬ture serve to produce in our graduatesa desire for a life-long process of self-education and a knowledge of thetechnique required to pursue it.Best wishes to you all for a happyholiday.

Youjust find out. You put together all thethings you've found out, afterward,and that is learning.”It is Frank Hurburt O’Hara speak¬ing, and speaking rapidly, because it isbetween scenes at a rehearsal ofCaesar and Cleopatra. Of course heis talking about drama in the colleges,and getting at the Maroon’s questionby a large view. He thinks that theactivities which give you somethingare the activities you go into becauseyou must, and that therefore all goodactivities are essentially the same. Heis saying so while the lighthouse“flats” lift into position:“These students aren’t acting, mak¬ing scenery, building costumes, run¬ning lights, because they want to ap¬pear in a show. They are interested indrama. They want to know moreabout it. The only way they canknow more about it is to do it. Youcouldn’t keep them out of it. That’sexpression. And the college must givethe student a chance to express him¬self, and to express himself as hewants to. That's the first big resultof having drama work in college.”Expression Vicariously"But the audiences get something,too,” someone prompted."They get expression vicariously,"he said. "And they are likely to geta good production when the studentproducers are doing anything so gen¬uinely.” He hesitated, just a moment.Then: “I think the students here maybe doing a bigger thing than they re¬alize. They are building an audience.They are not just ballyhooiug to geta crowd. They are giving the Uni¬versity a chance to see plays whichcouldn’t be seen otherwise, either newplays that haven’t been seen before inChicago, or dramas like this too largefor frequent commercial venture. Forinstance, they selected Daisy Mamyenot because it was a great play, butbecause George Kelly is one of themost promising playwrights Americahas had, and Daisy Mayme is his latestplay, not seen outside of New Yorkuntil the students gave use the chance.Caesar and Cleopatra had been donein Chicago only once, when Forbes-Robertson brought it here more thana decade ago. The students are doinga distinctive thing.”Plays Written by StudentsThe derrick to hoist Cleopatra wasnow swinging against the cyclorama,and the scene was about ready. Anextra question was hurried into thedirector’s ear.“What are the plays written by stu¬dents like? Are they——”“We don’t know. Those plays aregoing into the laboratory now. Eightor ten have been written, and havebeen re-written. We’ve done what wecan before putting them into re¬hearsal. Plays are really written inrehearsal. There’s where college givesanother chance. The students whoaspire to write a play can get somesympathetic guidance,— from class asmuch as from instructor—and thencan see what he’s written tried out onthe stage. It’s great fun to see a playevolve in rehearsals, although youdon’t always sense the fun if it’s yourown play. But you have the chanceto find out a great deal.”“It seems like fun, when you're look¬ing on,” someone else said.“Great fun when you’re in it,” Mr.O’Hara smiled. “Fun of disciplineeveryone understands, and fun offriendships because we’re all workingtogether for the same thing.”He stopped, said something into atelephone beside him; it was dark inthe house, blue and gold on the stage,the play was on. They were havingthe fun of working, all of them, to- By HOYT TROWBRIDGEThree years ago Gargoyles andTower Players—unsuccessful and indebt, unsupported on campus, andwith no professional coach—amal¬gamated to form the Dramatic Asso¬ciation Since that time, and espe¬cially since Mr. O’Hara’s appoint¬ment as director of student-activities,the dramatics on campus have stead¬ily progressed, showing increasedfreedom from the usual amateurishcollege type of production until nowthey are • an organization of nationalreputaion, producing exclusive playsin a polished, sophisticaed manner.Produces ‘.Dover Road”In 1924, with Don Lockett as presi¬dent, the association presented A. A.Milne’s play, “The Dover Road,” toa full house, a thing entirely unknownin University history. The springplay-fest of three one-act plays andtwo entr’acts also played to acapacity audience in March. It wasin this year, too, that Frank O’Harawas appointed director of studentactivities in response to the demandsof the dramatic groups for a com¬petent coach. Under his directionthe new association completed itsseason with he old debts paid, re¬ceived into membership 140 womenmembers of Mirror, and generallymade an important place for itselfon campus.Given Tower RoomIn 1925 the Tower ioom was turnedover to he associaion for use as ameeting place, storeroom and generaloffice.

Another Milne play, “Mr. PirnPasses By,” was given that year toan enthusiastic audience. The play-fest consisted of three original one-acters, written in Mr. O’Hara’splay-writing course, and two smartentr’acts as usual. The freshness ofthe first Mirror show, given in 1925,was typical of the new spirit of dra¬matics at the University.Gargoyle PlayersSupervise FroshDramatic GroupRealizing the necessity of interestingstage aspirants in their first year, theDramatic Association has inaugurateda freshman unit comprising all begin¬ning students who wish later to enterthe Dramatic Association.Produce “The Neighbors”"The Neighbors,” by Zona Gale, wasthe first of the freshman plays spon¬sored by Gargoyles. It was producedin the Reynolds club theater, and withthe exception of Arthur Ernstein, di¬rector, all participants in the produc¬tion were freshmen. The play was arepresentation of village life with allits accompanying joys and sorrows.The cast was as follows: Inez, Kather¬ine Sherman; Mis’ Abel, EvelynYoung; Mis’ Moren, Elizabeth Miller;Mis’ Grot, Eda Kowan; Grandma,Dorothy Butler, Mis’ Ellsworth, AliceVon Keller; Peter, David Coey; Ezra.Henry Ripley. Frances Boldgett, RuthDreyer, Gertrude Matthews, VirginiaSmith, and Robert Merrill under-studied.Arthur Ernstien, president of Gar¬goyles, says: “The universal interestcombined with an exceptionally largenumber of talented troupers made thepossibility of a freshman play for thewinter quarter very feasible as willlikely be a Spring production.”This project among the first yearstudents has been supplemented by aGreen Cap dramatic group, also underthe direction of Arthur Ernstein., v‘l iHk -rtte' .'.JWJ. .J. Combined Units Produce Shaw’s“Caesar and Cleopatra,” and “DaisyMayme”; Ready For Winter’s WorkUNIVERSITY PUT MEWHERE I AM, SAYSFRIARS’ PRODUCEREvening American Also Edu¬cated Him AversCormackBartlett Cormack. who will producethis year’s Blackfriars’ show, is en¬tirely a Chicago product. The Univer¬sity and the city, as he saw it from theobservation tower of journalism, madehim what he is, he acknowledges.“When, I’m asked for articles andpress stories, where I was ‘educated,’ ”Cormack writes, “and I say the Uni¬versity of Chicago and the ChicagoEvening American, I mean it. Espe¬cially in the East, men nowadays blinkin stupefaction, and then amusedly,when one suggests that they got—orshould have gotten — a:i3'thing morefrom college than social presence and‘prestige,’ a fraternity pin, and theability to drink straight turpentine.“Got a Lot”"This annoys me, usually to thepoint of talk, which distresses mywife, but makes me feel better anyway.Because from the University, and fromassociation with Mr. Boynton particu¬larly, Teddy Linn, Frank O’Hara andProfessor Park, the Maroon andBlackfriars, I did ‘get a lot,’ as tnesaying goes. I know it, I appreciateit, and I want the University, and ac¬cordingly Blackfriars. to get a lot outof me.”Cormack’s college career was ascheckered as most of them. He leftthe University in the Spring of 1918,“because," as his Dean expressed it,“he had been too busy with thesecursed campus activities to go toclass.” And then he came back a yearlater to even up that one by taking NEW PRODUCERfour majors a quarter for two straightyears, including the summer schoolsessions, and graduate rather ironicallywith honors in two departments.Became Newspaper ManIn the interim between his exodusand “comeback,” Cormack fell intonewspaper life. He began by report¬ing for the Chicago Journal. “I hadto cover a hanging—Cook County stillhung murderers now and then—afterI’d been on the Journal two weeks,”he says, “and began to suspect thatthe moon wasn’t entirely made ofgreen cheese.” He left the journalafter a few months there, and wentto the Evening American, where hereported and rewrote for two years,becoming convinced that “there wasn’tany green cheese in the moon.”After he had completed college, Cor¬mack returned to the American, re¬writing, doing feature reporting, andfinally dramatic criticism — a featurewhich he largely initiated in the paper,and which took the form of weeklyinterviews with most of the well-known names of the theater. The Dramatic association has real¬ized this year one of its greatest am¬bitions—the subscription plan of finan¬cing its activities. Under this plan ahundred people, some of them students,and others, interested outsiders, weregiven an opportunity to buy seasontickets permitting them to attend allregular performances, several work¬shop plays not open to the public, andthe teas held in the Tower room aftereach production.Produce “Daisy Mayme”This season has also seen the pro¬duction of George Kelly’s “DaisyMayme,” a play which was chosen byBurns Mantle and ten of B/oadway’sleading dramatic critics as one of theten best presented there last year, andwhich had never been presented inChicago before it appeared here, andBernard Shaw’s “Caesar and Cleo¬patra,” a play which Prof. Millet hascalled the most difficult to produce ofall Shaw's dramas and which is cer¬tainly the most pretentious ever at¬tempted at the University. The usualplay-fest of one-act plays will be heldduring the winter, as well as the thirdMirror production. During the springquarter one or two plays will be giv¬en, probably Marc Connelley’s “TheWisdom Tooth,” “Romeo and Juliet”in modern dress, or “The Adding Ma¬chine.”“Daisy Mayme,” presented Novem¬ber 4, was unusually well received. Itis a play of small town, middle-classfamily life, a play whose homely, sim¬ple characters give the leads excellentopportunities. Eleanor Metzel, as Mrs.Kipax, the buxom lady who is chroni¬cally ill; Marion McGann as DaisyMayme, the woman "who didn’t knowthere was a man until she was twenty-five, and after that they didn’t knewshe was alive,” and who lays a trap for Cliff Fenner, the forty-year oldbachelor “who used to have such nicehair,” admirably played by James Par¬ker; and Marguerite Fenholz as theavaricious Mrs. Fenner, played theleads. Florence Stewart, DorothyHartford, John Gerhart and HadleyKerr were also enthusiastically greet¬ed.Hadley Kerr and Marion McGannheaded the cast of sixty which played“Caesar and Cleopatra,” December 9.The other twenty-four name partswere played by Henry Tobler, Ber¬nard Schilling, Ralph McCormack,Russell Whitney, Marion Lipson, El¬eanor Metzel, James Parker, ElliottFulton, Howard Willett, Norman Ea¬ton, Maxwell Mason, Charles Shapiro,John Pansen, John Gerhart, ClarenceFox, Joseph Barron, Frederick vonAmmon, Roselle Moss, Alice Ransom,Aidan O'Keefe, Fred Sass, EloiseTasher and Marjorie Miller. Besidesbeing a play requiring intense dra¬matic feeling, “Caesar and Cleopatra”is in four acts, three of them almostexcessively long, and eleven changes ofscene. Coming as it did at the timewhen “The Road to Rome” was play¬ing downtown, Shaw’s play, also an“extremly modern play of ancient ori¬gin,” was especially interesting.Officers of AssociationHadley Kerr is president and Rus¬sell Whitney treasurer of the jointboard of the association.

With the |construction and dedication of the jAlbert Merritt Billings hospital andthe Max Epstein clinic, it hasentered upon a new epoch of en¬deavor and progress. Its history isone of a gradually extending ringof affiliations with numerous med- |ical institutions of the city, of aslowly increasing number of build¬ings erected by generous donors, ofa continual struggle to attain im¬portance as a national medical cen¬ter. The climax is a medical pro¬gram in which $20,000,000 is in¬vested— $7,000,000 in the new:buildings and $13,000,000 in endow- jments.The first definite step toward thepresent complex and differentiatedmedical department was taken in1895 when Miss Helen Culver of ’Chicago gave the University $1,000,- |000 to serve as a cornerstone in thedevelopment of the Biological Sci¬ences in the newly-founded institu¬tion and to honor the memory ofMr. Charles J. Hull, who was for aconsiderable time a member of theBoard of Trustees of the University.Approximately a third of the contri¬bution was expended in the erectionof Hull Biological laboratories, con¬sisting of the Zoology, Botany, An¬atomy and Physiology buildings,which form the familiar cloister-linked quadrangle on the north sideof campus. In the spring of 1897the structures were completed, anddedication took place at the Nine¬teenth Convocation on July 2. Inaddition to having the departmentsfor which they were built, the lab¬oratories provided room for the de¬partments of Bacteriology and Path¬ology, also.A year later co-operative relationswere established with Rush Medicalcollege. In April, 1901, the trusteesof the college requested the Univer¬sity to take over the two lowerclasses of Rush and set them to workin the laboratories here. The Uni¬versity consented, and although ini¬tial expenses were to be defrayedfrom a fund of $50,000 appropriatedfrom the 1895 gift of Mr. John D.Rockefeller, necessary expenditures iarising from the annexation added j$41,000 to the medical budget that iyear.When several years later the Gen¬eral Education board and the Rocke¬feller Foundation agreed to contrib¬ute $1,000,000 each toward a fundto be utilized to meet the urgent |needs of the medical department.Although plans were not imme¬diately initiated for the erectionof the new buildings, the develop¬ment of the medical group hadnot come to a standstill, for theselection of a staff and important ad¬vances in the organization of thenew school comprised an importantshare in President DeWitt Burton’sprogram for the University. Frutherprogress toward the realization of a Igreat medical group was made whenRush Medical college became anorganic part of the University, andits faculty joined the faculty herelUnder the impulse of PresidentBurton, the construction of RawsonClinical laboratories on the site ofthe old Rush Medical college was has¬tened, and by contract with the col¬lege, Pathological laboratories wereinstalled on the fifth floor of thebuilding.Early in 1925 ground was brokenfor the Albert Merritt Billings hos¬pital, the Max Epstein dispensary,(Continued in Column 2) More HospitalsTo Rise BesidePresent ClinicsPerhaps, as one looks at the im-i pressive, solid Gothic buildings whichhave just been completed as one ofthe most important units in the Uni-j versity’s medical program, he mayI say to himself, “Is it possible forfurther development to take place formany years after the construction ofthese great buildings? Won’t therebe a lull?Affiliate Maternity HospitalHowever, the University contem¬plates no halt in the amplification ofits medical school. When the Chi¬cago Lying-in hospital became affil¬iated with the University, the boardof trustees of the hospital agreed toerect a new building at an estimatedcost of $1,000,000 upon a site to befurnished by the University. It hasbeen decided to build the new hospi¬tal on 59th street immediately westof the new medical buildings.Build Children’s HospitalAdjoining the new hospital, theBobs Roberts Memorial Hospital forChildren will be constructed withfunds contributed to the Universityby Col. and Mrs. John Roberts. Inaddition, $250,000 which was willedto the University by the late Mrs.Harriet G. Smith to be held in trustuntil increased to $500,000. This sumwill be expended in the erection ofthe Charles Gilman Smith hospital,planned to treat contagious diseases.The site is to be provided by the Uni¬versity.Military RivalsOn Clinic StaffTwo doctors who were members ofopposing armies in the World War—Dr. Oswald H. Robertson, who re¬ceived the D. S. O. from the BritishGovernment, and Dr. Friedrich Hiller,a lieutenant in the Medical corps of| the German army, have been madeI professors in the new medical school| of the University.Dr. Robertson, at the time of hisappointment to the University staff,was professor of medicine and headof the department at Peking Union jMedical College. He has been madeprofessor of medicine at the Universi¬ty. During the war an improved meth¬od of blood transfusion which he orig¬inated was the standard technique ofthe British army.Dr. Hiller was appointed associateprofessor of medicine. He came to theUniversity from the celebrated clinicof Fred Mueller in Vienna. Dr. Hilleris a specialist in the field of neu¬rology.MEDICAL PROJECTSUCCESS INSUREDBY ENDOWMENT(Continued from column 1)and the Physiology building. Thesite for the group had been chosenby the trustees of the University in1924 with the view of devoting tothe medical group the nine acres con¬tained in two blocks west of Ellisavenue and facing south on the Mid¬way. The structures were com¬pleted this fall, and dedicatory serv¬ices were held on Oct. 31 and Nov.1 at the 148th Convocation of theUniversity. Dr. James RowlandAngell, president of Yale university,delivered the main address, entitled,“Medicine and the University.”“It is doubtful whether anywherein the world for so long a period thewhole program of medica1 educationwas ever more exnauoiively studied,”said Dr. Angell, “a study which hadthe greatest significance in that it isintended on the one hand to meet therequirements of the highest idealsfor medicine itself, w'hile on the[ other hand doing justice to the needsI of a great metropolitan center likeChicago, and to the requirements andobligations of two existing insti¬tutions, the University and RushMedical college, whose fusion hasproduced the present school.”During its years of amplificationand brick and mortar, the Univer¬sity established connections with theChildren’s Memorial hospital, Presby-(Continued in column 5) THE UNIVERSITY CLINICSBY FRANKLIN C. McLEAN,Professor of Medicine and ChairmanThe newr University clinics, whichwere opened to patients on October3rd, and formally dedicated on No¬vember 1st, comprises at present theAlbert Merritt Billings Hospital andthe Max Epstein Clinic. These twodepartments, which provide generalmedical and surgical service for in-and-out patients respectively, areincorporated in one building so thatthe closest possible organic relation¬ship may be maintained.The new buildings also includelaboratories for the Departments ofMedicine, Surgery, Pathology, Physi¬ology, and Physiological Chemistry,and provide the necessary facilitiesfor teaching and research in thesedepartments.The inauguration of the care ofpatients and of clinical teaching onthe University campus marks the be¬ginning of the culmination of yearsof planning. The service offered to the sick is already being taken ad¬vantage of at an increasing rate,more than 1,000 different patientshaving been received since October3rd, exclusive of the Student HealthService, which is housed in the samebuildings.Additional Hospital and Outpa¬tient units for Obstetrics, Gyneol-ogy, Pediatrics and Orthopedics, andContagious Diseases have been pro¬vided for. Plans are now beingmade for these units, which willbring the total capacity for patientson the campus to about 600 beds.The Billings family, of which Dr.Frank Billings is the distinguishedChicago representative, and Mr. MaxEpstein, a prominent Chicago oeiti-zen, in providing these facilities forthe care of patients have contributedgreatly to the advancement of medi¬cal education in Chicago, and thebuildings will stand as a permanentrecognition of their vision for thefuture.INVESTIGATE SIX STUDY CHRONICRESEARCH FIELDS DRUG POISONINGPhysiology Problems OnDiverse Lines i l|What are the processes involved ina nerve’s cycle of securing nourish¬ment and emitting the waste resi¬duum?

Pharmacologists InvestigateDrug AddictionExtensive research in nearly aj score of fields is being pursued in thedepartment of Physiological Chemis¬try and Pharmacology by physico¬chemical and pharmacological labora-j tories.Study Drug AddicitonIn surveying the program of re-| search initiated by the pharmacologi-| cal laboratories, Dr. F. C. Koch,chairman of the department of Phys-| iological Chemistry and Pharmacolgy,I said, “Although chronic drug taking,i through medical direction andj through self-medication, is very com¬mon, nevertheless practically nothing| has been done in the pharmacology ofi sub-acute and chronic poisoning by| drugs and chronic abuse of certain[ food stuffs.•Such problems, particularly in thefield of habit-forming drugs, havebeen under investigation here for thepast three or four years. Some phases! of the work are nearing completion.I The problem of inter-relationship be-1 tween thyroid intoxication and mor¬phinism is being substantially sup¬ported by a grant from the Commit¬tee on Narcotic Addictions in NewYork city.” It is this field which Pro¬fessor A. L. Tatum and Mr. M.Seevers are engaged in sounding.Extensive ResearchesUnder the direction of ProfessorsA. B. Hastings and Martin E. Hanke,the physiochemical laboratories arecarrying on investigations in the fol-‘lowing fields; the distribution ofgases and electrolytes, that is, com¬pounds capable of conducting elec¬tricity through a solution, in theblood of animals subjected to acidosisand alkalosis; the distribution ofiodide and bromide ions between cellsand serum; the electrochemical char¬acteristics of hemoglobin, the ironand protein substance carrying oxy¬gen in the red bolod cells; oxidation-reduction of cell suspensions and tis¬sues in living matter; preparationand resolution of optically activedyes, hypnotics, and local anesthetics;and finally, the relation betweenstructure and pharmacological activ¬ity with special reference to the dif¬ference in activity between opticalisomers.Three other problems under invest¬igation in the pharmacological lab¬oratories involve the significance ofthe secretions of the female genera¬tive organs and of the fetus in preg¬nancy, the manifestations of the par-alysant action of various drugs, andthe relative effectiveness of differentforms of iodine in changing the fluidinside goiters. These three fields arebeing investigated by Dr. H. B. vanDyke.In laboratories devoting their timeto other phases of biochemistry, Dr.Ida Kraus-Ragins is studying proteinanalysis by enzyme hydrolysis, whileDr. Martin E. Hanke is examiningthe nature and relations of organiechlorides found in tissues. Norton AttemptsTo Purify WaterBy Ultra-VioletUltra-violet light as a destroyer ofbacteria has been under investigationby Associate Professor John F. Nor¬ton, of the Bacteriology department,during the past months. On Novem¬ber 9, he gave a lecture before the’Bacteriology club on “The Action ofUltra-violet Light on Micro-organ¬isms” in which he outlined the prin-•eiple phases of his research.Not Dfinitely PracticalAt that time Prof. Norton said,“Theproposal that ultra-violet light may{be of practical use is not accepted by'sanitary engineers.” He explainedthat‘the ultra-violet light, having awave-length below that of visiblelight, is responsible for the destruc¬tion of the greater part of micro¬organisms when they are exposed toits effects.Experiment* With Pool*Prof. Norton has recently expandedhis experiments and has been work¬ing with ultra-violet light as a puri-Tying agent for swimming pools. This'work should enable him to determinewhether or not ultra-violet light is,a practical agent in the purificationof water on a large scale.Donate Prints toUniversity ClinicsFour-hundred and sixty-five engrav¬ings of famous old hospitals and dis¬tinguished surgeons from the 17th,18th, and 19th centuries will hang inthe new University medical schools,symbolizing the debt of all that is newand modern in medicine to the bestproducts of the medical tradition of thepast three centuries.The collection of medical prints wasgiven to the University by Charles B.Pike. Chicago connoisseur, who madea trip to Europe expressly to collectthese old prints. The University iscollecting 100 portraits of leading con¬temporary physicians and surgeons tointersperse with the Charles B. Pikecollection throughout the hospital. The( harles B.

Re¬search is being carried on with thehope of finding out more about infan¬tile paralysis, measures, diphtheria,pneumonia and influenza.Dr. Edwin Oakes Jordan, chairmanof the department of Hygiene andStudy InfluenzaBacteriology, is publishing a book onthe influenza epidemic. It will notonly be the most authoritative discus¬sion of influenza, but it will also be themost complete analysis of the type thathas ever been made, according to Dr.Falk. The work is now being publish¬ed serially in the Journal of theAmerican Medical Association and itwill soon appear as a separate volume.Compile BookDr. Jordan and Dr. Falk are com¬piling a book to which eighty lead¬ing men of the country have contrib¬uted discussions on the latest research¬es in Bacteriology and Immunology.Drs. Jordan and Dack, and their stu¬dents are continually developing new¬er methods for the control of foodpoisoning and the diagnosis of such in¬testinal disease as typhoid fever.A group of students working withDr. balk, have perfected an electricalmethod for determining the virulenceof diphtheria germs. The method isnow being tried out in a number ofhealth departments of the country. Itis expected to make it possible for adoctor to know within a few hours in¬stead of a few days whether or not thepatient has the virulent germ andshould be injected with antitoxin. An¬other group of students has developedmethods to produce experimental lobarpneumonia and are going on to developmeans of studying the prevention andcure of pneumoia.New Malaria DiagnosisOther members of the departmentare also doing important research workof practical as well as theoretical in¬terest. Dr. Taliaferro is effecting anumber of methods for the diagnosisof such diseases as malaria For ex¬ample, it is practically impossible tomake a diagnosis of malaria in thechronic stages by the usual methodsof hunting with a microscope for thegerms in the blood. By applying cer¬tain delicate, simple blood tests whichdo not involve finding the germ itself,Dr. Taliaferro will probably makeavailable diagnostic methods of enorm¬ous importance in the recognition andcontrol not only of malaria, but manyother diseases that are caused by theanimal type of microbe.Dr. Norton is studying the theoryand practice of disinfection by ultra¬violet light, particularly as related todrinking water and swimming poolsanitation. Dr. Cary is studying thegerms which are supposed to be thecause of measles and the value ofserum in the treatment of that dis¬ease. He has the cultures of the mi¬crobes which other workers believe tobe the cause of measles, as well ascultures of many which he has him¬self isolated from measles patients. Dr.Shaughnessy is searching for the germwhich is supposed to he the cause ofinfantile paralysis.Try Toxin PurificationDr. Mayer is attempting to purifydiphtheria toxin and antitoxin, withthe hope that it may eventually provepossible to prepare purified antitoxin.The impurities that are ordinarily pres¬ent in antitoxins, some times causecomplications in the treatment of diph¬theria and other diseases. Further ad¬vances must depend upon the refine¬ments which will surely he made bythe chemist and his technique appliedto the important problems of biologyand medicine.vTHE DAILY MAROON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1927 Page SevenOfte —>^ WhistleSONGS FOR ABELARD''Goodnight, my dear,—I love you!’"Sounds of the distant windSweeping the cold, grey waters,—Like the soul of one who has sinned.Do you feel the wind against yourface?Do you watch the mad winds intheir race ?"Goodnight my dear, 1 love you!"Echoes the vaulted sky,And thunders in shafts of star¬light,Do you hear my cry,—my cry?The winds blow low,—and moanand roar.Do you hear my heart knock atyour door?j. f. d.* * •WHERE IS BE FOR HERE?

Orchids, BananasExhibited, StudiedIn Green HousesEverything from orchids to bananatrees are growing in the Universitygreenhouses, on Ellis avenue. Ac¬cording to Professor Ezra J. Kraus,of the Department of Botany, themany plants, from all the climatesof the globe, are kept on continualdisplay, so that students may seeand examine the living speciments.The collections are used, also, in thestudy of the developmental historyof plants that grow in such inaccess-able regions as Africa, Cuba or theheart of Mexico.The research that is going on underthe Botany Department in “plantnutrition” is also being conducted inthe conservatories. This is an at¬tempt to discover both the conditionsthat are the most favorable and mostunfavorable for the growth of dif¬ferent foreign species of plants.The largest portion of the build¬ings, however, is devoted to growingthe specimens which are used by theclasses in the botanical laboratories.BREASTED EDITSSCIENTIFIC BOOKCompletes Translation ofOldest TreatiseProfessor James Henry Breasted,director of the Oriental Institute ofthe University, who has just sailedj for Luxor, Egypt, to continue thesupervision of five research expedi¬tions in Egypt and Asio Minor, com¬pleted before his departure the trans¬lation and editing of the oldest sci¬entific book in the world, the EdwinSmith papyrus, an Egyptian medicaltreatise of the seventeenth centurybefore Christ.Nucleus of Medical KnowledgeIn speaking of the papyrus, whichj he translated for the New York His¬torical Society, Professor Breastedsaid: “The society is fortunate inpossessing the oldest scientific bookin America and the oldest nucleus ofreally scientific medical knowledgein the world. The roll is about fif¬teen feet in length. It is written onboth sides, seventeen columns on thefront and five on the back. In itsoriginal form it was a stately book,the columns being between elevenand twelve inches in height andreaching a maximum of twelve inchesin height and reaching a maximum oftwelve inches in width. In its trans¬lated form it will be a book of aboutsix hundred pages, which has beenprinted in beautiful format by theOxford Press and will be publishedby the University press.SPANISH FETE AIDSSCHOLARSHIP FUNDVery few people know of thescholarship which the Spanish cluboffers to all students majoring in thedepartment. The requisites are anaverage of “B” or better, and threemajors of Spanish, and they entitlethe student to one quarter’s freetuition in the department. The clubis trying to raise enough money tooffer a scholarship for a year. Themoney is raised by giving a Fiestaevery year, and by the dues of theclub.The Fiesta is an annual affair,usually given in either the Winteror the Spring quarter. The club hasnot yet definitely decided whetherthey will give a dinner in the winterand postpone the Fiesta until Spring,or not.

SOCIAL . FEATURESEric De LamarterEnjoys PatricianCampus AudienceBy MIRIAM SNETT“I conducted all the concerts at Mandelhall during the war and I certainly lookedforward to them,” said Eric De Lamarter,assistant conductor of the Chicago Sym¬phony orchestra. “Thae audience is aristo¬cratic—no, that isn’t the word—patrician.The chapel idea and the feeling it givesprobably exercises an unconscious effect incontrast to that of a brilliant concert hall.The audience at Mandel is more sedate.”Talks of Music, PeopleThe tall, rather blond gentleman with apleasing smile and a winning personalityspoke ably on religion, literature and mu¬sic. His easy assurance gave proof of athorough knowledge of the subjects onwhich he spoke. Mr. DeLamarter is notonly affiliated with the Symphony orches¬tra, but he is a composer and organist. Itwas with the stately grandeur of the FourthPresbyterian church as a background thatMr. DeLamarter spoke of music and people.He is organist and choir leader at thatchurch. This is the tenth year that Mr.DeLamarter has been connected with theorchestra here. Before and during that timehe has acted as music critic for the ChicagoRecord-Herald, and the Chicago Tribune.On the Chicago Inter-Ocean, a paper whichhas not existed since 1914, he was bothdramatic and music critic. In his ownwords, “I’ve known the smell of the ink, too.And let me tell you, a dramatic critic hasan easy time compared to a music critic.You can’t say ‘the second chord in the thirdline has marvelous tone color.’ Dramaticcritics always have something to describe,but music must be translated—it is intangi¬ble—a mood rather than an idea.”Play* at Many Univer*itie*The University does not provide the onlycollege audience before which Mr. DeLa¬marter conducts. The Symphony orches¬tra plays for the May Festivals at the Uni¬versity of Michigan and at NorthwesternUniversity. Wisconsin, Cornell, Iowa, andIllinois have also been on the schedule atvarious times; so college audiences are nota novelty to this man; in fact, if what hesaid is a good criterion, he knows them verythoroughly. “Yes, there is some differencebetween college audiences and others, butonly that which is found in all scholasticcircles. They are perhaps not as enthusias¬tic in their appreciation and are not sur¬prised by any wonders because they expectthe finest.”And then Mr. DeLamarter spoke aboutthe concert which the Symphony orchestrawill give on Tuesday, January 3 at MandelHall. He says that since the personnel ofthe orchestra has not been materiallychanged since it was founded in 1875 byTheodore Thomas, the repertoire fromwhich numbers are selected is very large.New selections are always being added andthere are always the old stand-bys to fallback on. The Mandel Hall programs arenot repetitions of those given downtown,(Continued on page 13)By HARRIETT LEMONThat Pagan goddess, Fashion, despite herextravagance and folly is more often thannot the friend of women. She is continu¬ally contriving new ways to enhance fem¬inine loveliness. Her dictates are alwaysleading toward higher standards of beauty,comfort, and usefulness. But while her in¬tentions are good, she is undoubtedly fickle.The ensemble, and not the individual de¬tail, is the important feature of this year’sdictates. From the dressing of the hair tothe buckle on the shoe, the entire costumeshould be one well-planned ensemble.Evening Gown* DarkEvening clothes show several new fea¬tures. Paris is wearing navy blue chiffon,according to the very latest. The severe,long body line >s emphasized. There is atendency toward bouffant skirts, short infront, and long in back, or with unevenhemlines. The up-on-one-side and down-in-back lines are new and important. Deepdecolletage, moulded bodices, and crochetedbeading are very much in vogue. White isvery good. Trimmings, ornaments and full¬nesses are all brought over to the heart side.Heavy .satins and metal cloth are the twomost popular cloths.Conservatism is the keynote to the lateststreet cloU^es. Fine woolen crepes, and the | CORDON UNIQUEIN ITS PURPOSEWhat is the Cordon club? Sitting cozilybefore the hearth of Miss Nellie Walker’sstudio fireplace, watching the flames dartingfrom glowing coals and listening to herstory of the Cordon club’s pioneer days, Ifound an answer.In the Fine Arts building on MichiganBoulevard there are some rooms recognizedforo their note of femininity and charm.An atmosphere of leisure and friendlinessimpresses itself on the visitor. Womenprominent in the professional circles of finearts and “laywomen” in Chicago sit in thebig arm chairs contentedly conversing withone another. Jane Addams and Mary Mc¬Dowell may be seen chatting about some ofthe lighter problems of settlement work.Sometimes Judge Mary Bartelme of thejuvenile court, and Alice Greenacre, thelawyer, join them. Madam Schumann-Heinck, Alice Hastings Bradley, hunter andexplorer, and Judith Waller, who broadcastsfor The Daily News, also frequent thelounge. This is the type of women whichis invited to join the Cordon club.Need for Club FeltFor a long time a certain group felt theneed for a society of this calibre, so whenMiss Clara Laughlin sent out a call to or¬ganize she was accorded immediate re¬sponse. Once started the club grew untilthe quota of 550 members was reached. Theaims of the organization are purely socialand the members meet for intellectual en¬joyment and stimulation. “It is not a pur¬poseful study group,” said Miss Walker,stroking one of her large cats, “but a gra¬cious relaxing in the comfortable atmo¬sphere of the club.”Unique OrganizationThe organization is unique in its purposeand its selected membership entitled it toa national reputation. Its name, Cordon, aFrench word, was suggested by Miss JessiePreston and was adopted immediately be¬cause it seemed so fitting. “The Knot” isone interpretation and another, more vague,but expressive, is that of a cordon of kin¬dred spirits, guarding the ftner and more in¬tellectual things of life. Its reputationmakes it a worthy dream for any of theyoung Chicago artists.Old Chicago ArtCircle ContinuesBy HARRIETT HARRISIn 1896 a small group of artists and artlovers, who wished to see art in Chicago de¬velop, banded together in an art circle. To¬day several of those early art pioneers arestill active in beautyifying Chicago and infurthering art in Illinois. Chief amongthese are Lorado Taft, non-resident profes¬sor of the University, and Mrs. Lorado Taft,Chairman of the Art committee of the Chi¬cago Women’s club.Talks Illustrate Art GrowthMrs. Taft who was born in Jersey City,New Jersey, early moved to Boston where(Continued on page 13)heavy serges and twills remain in vogue, thetwo-piece outfit dominating. Conservativeblacks and navy blues are the colors.Wine color, gray, and matinee tan are fa¬vorites for afternoon wear. Metal cloth andsilk materials predominate. The styles fea¬ture side drapes, the Vionnet neckline, andclose fitting long sleeves.Accessories Are ImportantAccessories, as bags, shoes, hats, andgloves should contrast with the ensemble,either in deeper shades, or in color har¬monies.Jewelry is occupying a more and moreimportant place in fashion. From our earsand necks, diamonds are coming down toour dresses where they fix a drapery, orhold a flower or a piece of lace. Coloredstones—beryl, amethyst, topaz, and coral—are in great favor. They may be used withthe outfit either to contrast or harmonize.Jewelry is worn now, not because of itself,but because it adds the desired finish to acostume. Glittering jewelry is particular¬ly chic, at the moment, with diamonds lead¬ing the mode.Winter fashions allow most of all a widescope for imagination and individuality. Noother season has seen such a wide varietyof attractive ensembles. The woman of to¬day has Fashion’s sanction to express her¬self as far as she can in her costume. Enthusiastic PoetsSee Campus ClubStruggle to FameFrom the aspirations of one man, sup¬ported by the enthusiasm of an instructor,the Poetry club in a period of ten years,has grown from an uninfluential group toone of the leading organizations on thecampus.This year the group has already broughtto the University two of America’s out¬standing women poets, Elinor Wylie andEdna St. Vincent Millay.Robert Morss Lovett, in the preface to“Collected Verse,” a volume published in1923 by the Poetry Club, gives a history ofthe Poetry club and its founders. HaroldVa#. Kirk, a member of Mr. Lovett’s Eng¬lish Composition class, complained to Mr.Lovett t>f the lack of a course on poetryat that time. Mr. Lovett told Van Kirk thathe would hate to have “academic standardsapplied to anything which should be so per¬sonal and spontaneouos as the writing ofverse,” and so he suggested a poetry clubwherein people of like mind would be mu¬tually interested.First Meeting in ClassicsVan Kirk found two other friends of thesame mind as himself, John Grimes andArt Baer, and the first meeting took placein Classics. In a letter to Mr. Lovett, Har¬old Van Kirk wrote, “I can’t recall a thingwe said—only I suspect that we called eachother’s verse to task with a fine fervor andfreedom. We always did that, and I hopeour successors do. For that’s what we reallywanted it for—candid criticism, and noquarter.”(Continued on page 13)SOCIALLY SPEAKINGBy ELIZABETH TAYLORWith the Christmas season accompaniedby its usual gay festivities almost here letus pause and glance back at the social ac¬tivities of the quarter just past. In retro¬spect we find that we have been most active.Every week-end has been crowded and ev¬ery organization has taken part. The fes-tives listed have been representative of allof the University life and are indicative intheir success of a general spirit of friendli¬ness and interest. The campus seems tohave made a special effort to assimilate theoncoming groups, and the list of tea dances,dinners, and what have you was a delight toall gregarious persons. The two outstand¬ing functions sponsored by the Universityand for the whole University were the In¬terfraternity Ball and Settlement Night.Interfraternity Ball SuccessfulThe Interfraternity Ball was held thisyear on Thanksgiving eve in the magnifi¬cent main dining room of the new Stevenshotel. The details of the dance were charm¬ing and the gorgeous gowns of the Univer¬sity women combined with a general holi¬day atmosphere to make the Ball a tremen¬dous success. The graceful custom of hav¬ing a dance for e&di club and introducing*the fall pledges in this way was a prom¬inent part of the evening. The Ball hasalways been well received and is rapidlytaking its place as an indispensible and tra¬ditional fall function.Settlement Night InformalSettlement Night is one of the high pointsof the calendar and shows us the campusin an informal mood. The keynote of theevening this year was Bohemianism and thedecorations of Mandel Hall and the boothscarried it out very well. The vodvil ofcampus talent was well planned and thestunts were well received and showed evi¬dence of a great deal of practice. Goodmusic, clever decorations, and attractivebooths made it a colorful and festive eve¬ning. Altogether it was an effective closefor the fall drive.Football Teas NumerousThe football teas are such an importantpart of the fall festivities that they certain¬ly deserve mention. Several of the frater¬nities gave teas regularly after the homegames, and each fraternity gave at leastone of these delightful functions.The whole campus united to welcome thefreshmen and give them strong social con¬tacts. The University sponsored severalparties and the campus organizations alsoentertained. The clubs introduced the fallpledges at their dances and the pledges en¬tertained each other.Most of the dances this quarter havebeen informal, as the tendency seems tobe for formals in the winter quarter ex¬clusively. A mention must be made of thedramatic productions. The dramatic asso¬ciation has formed a new plan this fall of(Continued on page 13) ATHLETIC ZEALGREAT IN WESTBy FRANCES HALLINANStudents of the Eastern universities are,as a whole, more accustomed to lives ofluxury and wealth than are the students ofWestern universities, and, according toCoach Alonzo A. Stagg, men that are in thehabit of leading such lives are, perhaps,less likely to make personal sacrifices forthe sake of athletics than are men f^omWestern colleges. Coach Stagg expi sedhis opinion of Eastern football players ascontrasted with western men after readingan article that appeared in a recent numberof the Harvard “Crimson,” by R. L. Dunne,line coach of the Harvard team.Dunne Explains IdeasMr. Dunne, who played football at Michi¬gan and has coached at Northwestern, says:“In the East'the boys come from the thicklypopulated urban sections of the countrywhere physical labor is not as prevalent asit is in the smaller Western communities.They are unable to stand tremendous physi¬cal punishment or hardships because theyare too highly strung, and their nervousmakeup requires an entirely different typeof handling than does the Western ‘hus-key’.”In reply to this, Mr. Stagg said that hethought the matter debatable, althoughDunne has the advantage because he hascoached in both the East and the West. Onthe other hand, Duke Dunne, himself, per¬sonifies, in a sense, the urban type. And heis far from being a soft and effeminate typeof man or player.Leisure for AthleticsAnother point brought out by Mr. Staggis that, while the Easterners may not be ac¬customed to the hard manual labor of theWest, many of the eastern men have hadmuch leisure for athletic development andpractice and are unusually skillful in sportsand in the handling of their bodies.In conclusion, Coach Stagg said thatwhile Dunne’s generalizations may holdgood for the student body as a whole, of theeastern schools, he is not sure whether itis a correct statement or not regarding thefootball teams. He did, however, express adesire to hear other opinions on the sub¬ject.Consensus DiffersAbout Co-educationBy HARRIET HATHAWAY“When it comes to educating young peo¬ple it isn’t what’s around their legs thatcounts, it’s what’s under their eyebrows,”maintains Miss Sophonisba P. Breckinridge,professor of Social Economy and a formerdean.In considering co-education, leaders inthe immediate locality, do not all expresstheir views with such conviction, however,nor do they hold the same ideas and prin¬ciples which Miss Breckinridge expresses.(Continued on page 13)By ROSALIND GREENFor the past few months Miss Leda Rich-ber^, who attended the University for ashort while and is the sister of Donald Rich-berg, author of many Maroon songs, hasbeen playing the exciting game of “reporterdodging.”She is considered “big game” by the news¬papers because she is an aviatrix and wasthe third woman in the United States towin a pilot’s license.Started Career in 1910The big Chicago meet of 1910 first in¬flicted Miss Richberg with the flying germ.The Richberg’s ancestral mansion, whichwas built by Louis R. in the 50’s, and hasbeen the home of famous members of thefamily until it recently was incorporatedwith the new outer drive of Chicago, wasthen at Calumet and 22nd street. One daya flyer from the meet, taking a little spin,whizzed over the house and dropped an in¬visible bomb into the heart of Leda. Shehad refused to go to the meet until thatday, knowing how the sights would affecther, but after that little incident she notonly went to the meet, but also to the oldCicero field (which was new then) and be¬gan her flying. Or rather she began topray for a chance to fly, for in the old daysthe aviators spent most of their time sittingout on the field watching a little flag thatwould tell them when the wind went downso that they could start out. Find Rich DetailIn Hilton ChapelDesign, FurnitureBy MARGARET DEAN“Grace to you and peace from God our Fa¬ther and the Lord Jesus Christ.“The Lord lift up his countenance upon youand give you peace.”In old English lettering these sentencesare inscribed under the arched ceiling on abackground of blue at either end of theThorndike Hilton Memorial chapel. Outof this inscription sounds the spiritualmeaning which Mr. and Mrs. Henry H. Hil¬ton, who dedicated the chapel to the Chi¬cago Theological Seminary in memory oftheir son, hoped to create. “It is a refugefrom noise and confusion, an isle of quiet¬ness in the ebb and flow of bewilderinglife.”Chapel Welcomes AllThe simple construction and the smallsize of the chapel give it a spirit of friend¬liness and helpfulness rather than one ofloftiness and austerity. Its arms are thrustout to welcome the pass; r-by, to beckon himto enter and enjoy the privileges of amoment of meditation and prayer. Yet itnoes not compel him to enter its portals.This gives the chapel unique distinctionamong academic buildings.Furnishings Are RichThe furniture of the little chapel is richin design. The chairs are reproduced fromthose found in the village churches of Eng¬land. At the front of the chapel on theblack and white marble flooring is placed asingle massive block of white marble whichsupports the communion table. The tableis covered with embroidered linen uponwhich are placed a cross and two candle¬sticks. Two chairs, a lecturn, and a cre¬dence table complete the chancel furnish¬ings.The six lamps which are suspended fromthe roof serve a two fold purpose. Thelower light suggests the dim floating wickoil lamps of the old cathedrals, while theupper set is for illumination.The two small ships carved above thedoor are the symbols of two souls who arenow faring together. Thorndike, and Ruth,his sister, who has also passed into the realmof the dead.Windows Depict ScenesThe windows of the chapel are its mostilluminating feature. “The sanctuary win¬dow is the glory of the chapel. There runsthrough it the melody of young manhood’sideals and achievements, consistent with thepurpose of the chapel itself.”As in the Middle Ages when expertcraftsmen were employed to work thou¬sands of bits of glass into a picture forsuch a cathedral as Chartes, so has the glassof these windows been fashioned into bibli¬cal scenes.Four characters are represented in thesmall openings above the sanctuary win¬dow: “Daniel with the lions illustratingtemptations bravely encountered; Moseswith the burning bush, the mystery of the(Continued on page 13)The story of any aviator’s career is besetwith death and blood since the airplanesof the old days were dangerous toys thatmight be afflicted with gout or ague at anytime. Furthermore the flyers were exposedto the peckings of fast flying birds thatmight be able to keep up with them, as theaviators sat out on the wings with nothingbut a foot rail between them and the earth,many feet below. It was lots of fun forLeda, but she does admit that the first timeshe went up every hair on her now shornand sleek brown head stood up and shoutedto her to get down from those terribleheights to old terra firma.

We have 'alreadyplayed it this year, and we are giving thestudents the benefit of the novelty. Brahms’“Symphony No. 4” which is the second num¬ber, has been in our repertoire for aboq£twenty years, and we have played it in¬numerable times. You hear it at Mandelabout once every three years. It carriesthe tragedy in the program.“Then the suite, ‘American Negro,’ by theDane, Otterstom. This was originally writ¬ten five or six years ago and has just beenrevived. Because of this it is fresh andpicturesque in contrast to the rather epicquality of the Symphony.Play a Favorite“The ‘Valse Triste’ by Sibelius is a greatfavorite—that’s about all that can be saidabout it. Wagner’s ‘Bacchanale’ and‘Finale’ from ‘Tannhauser’ is an old stand¬by which makes a brilliant finish for anyprogram. It is gorgeous, rich and colorful.’’In closing, Mr. DeLamarter said, “Weplay a full schedule of concerts, more thanalmost any orchestra in the country, butwe are always glad to play at Mandel Hall.”OLD CHICAGO ARTCIRCLE CONTINUES(Continued from page 11)she became interested in artistic work.After her marriage with Mr. Taft she be¬came an active patron of painting andsculpturing. Art attainment in Chicago andin Illinois has grown rapidly and todayIllinois is one of the most artistic states inthe Union, although few persons realize the wealth of art which is near at hand. Be¬cause the Women’s club wanted Chicago toappreciate this Art it recently arranged aseries of lectures. The first lecture wasgiven by Dr. Hieronymus from the Univer¬sity of Illinois, who is community advisoron art. He spoke on “Art Extension.”Mrs. Taft Lectures“Art Galleries’’ was the second lectureof the series and this was given by Mrs.Taft who will also give two other lectures.The first will be on “Monuments and Mir¬ror Decorations" and the second and con¬cluding lecture of the series will be on“Modern Art Developments in CommunityLife."Admires Unfinished Monument“The Great Lakes” which stands on thesouth side of the Art Institute is the workof Mr. Taft’s which his wife particularlyadmires. Also, she is enthusiastic over theunfinished statue “Pyrrha and Deucalin"which Taft has been working on for eight¬een years. The monument is to be a seriesof figures springing from the stones whichre-peopled the earth after the flood in theGreek Myths. The first figures are alone,others are struggling with each other, andthe last exemplify co-operation.At present Mr. Taft is working on a pion¬eer monument which is to be placed in Elm¬wood, Illinois, his birthplace. This consistsof three figures, a man, a woman, and adog crouching at their feet. The dog isto be done by Gertrude Lathrop, an artistfrom Albany, New York, who is specializ¬ing in sculpturing animals.SOCIALLY SPEAKING(Continued from page 11) •issuing season tickets to a group of onehundred season patrons. The first produc¬tion was followed by a reception in theTower room and a social atmosphere of aninterest in dramatics has been fostered.All of the clubs and fraternities havegiven many successful functions both for¬mal and informal and altogether it has beena season to be proud of. Since it couldn’tbe busier or better let us hope that the nextwill be as good. ENTHUSIASTIC POETSSEE CAMPUS CLUBSTRUGGLE TO FAME(Continued from page 11)The forman inauguration of the club oc¬curred at the home of Mr. Lovett, who hadinvited Harriet Monroe to be present and“do something in the way of ordination."The war took many of the members of theclub, and the two remaining members stim¬ulated an interest in the club by offering apoetry prize” not so much to stimulatepoetic activity as to bring it to the surface.”The first public meeting occurred whenthe members of the Poetry club advertizedthat fifteen poets would read selectionsfrom their works in the Reynolds club. Thismet with unexpected success and has giventhe Poetry club the prestige it now main¬tains.Famous Poet MembersThe Poetry club can claim the discoveryof such well-known poets as George Dillon,Elizabeth Madox Roberts, IVfaurice Lesemanand others. Bertha Ten Eyck James, apresent member, is soon to publish a vol¬ume of poems, and the coming of springwill see a volume of poetry written by Ster¬ling North, who has just won the covetedWitter Bynner prize.From a gathering of three poetic-mindedstudents, this club has grown to such asize and has acquired a name that bringsto the students of the University such well-known poets as Robert Frost, who read se¬lections last year, Elinor Wylie and EdnaSt. Vincent Millay, who has been acclaimedby some critics to be the greatest womanpoet of today.PIONEER WOMAN AIRPILOT TELLS OFADVENTUROUS LIFE(Continued from page 11)mediately taken to a Dayton doctor whoperformed upon her one of the first plasticsurgery operations in this country, and ifyou can convince her that you are not a reporter and are admitted to her presence,you can see that the operation was verysuccessful.Thrilling ExhibitionsIt seems that people were extremelybloodthirsty in the elder days of aviation,for all they hoped for at an exhibition wasa nice, thrilling accident. So one day MissRichberg and her Sweetheart, which wasthe name of the plane she had bought andwas flying at Staten Island, satisfied thethrill hunters and gave them an accident.But they weren’t completely happy becauseSweetheart wasn’t smashed and her flyersurvived with only a cut hand to show thatthere had ever been any trouble.At present Miss Richberg is contemplat¬ing taking a little jump from Dallas, Texas,to Hongkong. If she doesn’t take that jumpshe will just hop around the United Statesa little, making a transcontinental flight andgoing from Chicago to Frisco by the bird’swings. According to her own testimony shehas had excellent training for flying, for shetold a New York reporter who came tointerview her several years ago about herdivorce and her flying escapades, that mar¬riage is the best training for aviation be¬cause it teaches self-control, but that flyingis a pleasanter and easier proposition.CONSENSUS DIFFERSABOUT CO-EDUCATION(Continued from page 11)“Co-education is the only thing," shesays. ‘It raises the standards of competi¬tion between men and women resulting ina higher economic plane.” Competition isnot keen, she explained, unless one knowsits actual strength. Men and women can¬not vie for places in business, professionaland social world unless they are well ac¬quainted with the power of the opposite sex.Miss Breckinridge made a further point.Co-education is cheaper than segregation,and when it is necessary to economize it isusually the woman who is the loser. “Mantries to respect her, but he really doesn’t, FIND RICH DETAILIN HILTON CHAPELDESIGN, FURNITURE(Continued from page 11)living sacrifice apprehended; Gideon withthe fleeces, courage for an unequal strugglebesought and obtained; David with the harp,the divine and enduring song of youth por¬trayed."Sanctuary WindowLikewise, biblical scenes are depicted inthe medallions. In the lower north corneris seen David and Jonathan sealing theirfriendship with a clasp. Moving upward, Jo¬seph is seen interpreting the dreams of thebutler and baker in prison. The return ofJohn and Mary from Calvary, Hannahbringing little Samuel to Eli in the temple,Jesus the rich young ruler, the conversionof Saul at Tarsus are also pictured. Thecraftsman has made these scenes realisticthrough the use of symbols and facial ex¬pressions.In the central section is pictured theThree Kings following the blazing star. Inthe medallions above appear Mary and theChild surrounded by six angels and the bap¬tism of Jesus.All of the scenes culminate in the pic¬ture of the Lord raising his hands in bene¬diction. Thus our eyes pass over the scenesof the birth and baptism of the exalted fig¬ure of Christ, around whose spirit thechapel has been erected.The purpose for which the chapel wasdedicated is in keeping with the life of amodern university community. Compulsiveattendance at a center of religion often *destroys an appreciation of the beauty andspiritual suggestiveness of the abode.Thorndike Hilton Memorial Chapel is opento everyone at all times.and her greatest struggle is for an educa¬tion which will so fit her that she can dvmand equay pay for equal work.

D. MINDEL & CO.6209 Cottage Grove Midway 8853 >Page Fourteen THE DAILY MAROON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1927NEW CHAPE REPRESENTATIVE OFUNIVERSITY IN DARING OF DESIGN,CONSERVATIVENESS OF MASONRYGrandeur of Large Building Unit and Tower ToDominate Quadrangles as ReligionDominates ThoughtBy Aldeen GibboneyRepresentative of the University inboth the firm conservativeness of itssolid masonry and in the daring of itsdesign, the cathedral that is the newchapel is already fulfilling the practi¬cal and aesthetic purposes for which itwas conceived. In the thought of theUniversity and in the structure of thechapel itself is the fruition of John D.Rockefeller’s idea when in setting aside$1,500,000 of his la«t g’f* to the Uni¬versity for the new chapel he said. “Asthe spirit of religion should penetrateand control the University, so thatbuilding ought to be the central anddominant feature of the Universitygroup, proclaiming by its position andarchitecture that the University in itsideal is dominated by the spirit of re¬ligion, all of its departments are in¬spired by the religious feeling, and allits work is directed toward the highestends.”To Dominate QuadranglesIn order that the chapel might inreality dominate the University group,Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue, thearchitect, planned one of the two fea¬tures which make the chapel distinc¬tive among Gothic churches. Whereasmost of the University buildings areby necessity broken up into severalbays or units, the side elevation of thechapel has only five bays, separatedby huge buttresses, and each domin¬ated one great window. A certainbreadth of scale is thus produced,while the vertically of the whole, ismanifested in low side aisles made soin order not to interfere with the cleansweep of the great wall. These withthe free rise of the lofty tower, makethe chapel a really distinctive part ofthe Midway skyline.The design is altogether impressive,perhaps the more so because of thedaring of its conception. For it is dar¬ing in the hugeness of its bays. Fa¬mous King’s chapel at Cambridge isapproximately the same length as theUniversity chapel (225 feet long) butit has ten bays to the University’s cha¬pel’s five. Mr. Goodhue’s design, how¬ever, has succeeded in producing depthand distinction with no effect of dis¬proportion. Instead there is the ma¬jesty of five great leaded windows, ex¬ecuted in gold-colored glass, a symbolof the command, “Fiat lux.”Power In SimplicityThe powerful but perhaps starksimplicity of the structure is furtherrelieved by the exquisitely ornate carv¬ing of the south front. In the anglesbetween the tops of the buttresses arelife-size figures sculptured in Bedfordstone representing artist, philosopher,scientist and statesman, conceived inthe ancient manner and each bearingthe symbol of his vacation. The but¬tresses are flanked by statues of thefour evangels, Matthew, Mark, Luke,and John, each with his symbol, theangel, the lion, the ox and the eagle.The window in the facade which isitself adorned with unusually beauti¬ful traceries is surmounted by figuresof St. Monica, mother of St. Augustine,representing devotion, and of St. Ce¬celia, representing music. In the jambsof the window the sculptor has repre¬sented the movements of the Te Deum,the Glorious Company of Apostles, theGoodly Fellowship of prophets and theNoble Army of Mailyn.Carved Prophets On SideIn the gable over all is carved theMarch of Religion. At the pinnacle isChrist. On the one side in ascendingorder are Abraham and Moses, the He¬brew prophets, Zoroaster and Plato;on the other side are the apostles, theearly Christian fathers, the saints, andthe reformers.Showing the connection of Uni¬versity leaders with the whole con¬ception of the chapel figures ofWilliam Rainey Harper and ErnestDeWitt Burton, first and secondpresidents of the University, will beplaced over the east and west door¬ways. Near where the students ofthe University will be continuallypassing by are niches for statues ofMargaret Green, leader of the classof 1915, who died in her senior yearand of Lawrence Skull, tackle on the champion football team of 1913, whowas killed in action during the war.Inside Ceiling Is VaultedWithin there is the same exquisitegrandeur relieving the austerity ofthe great vaulting unit which is thesecond daring feature of Goodhue’splan. The ceiling is vaulted withpolychrome Guastavino tile insteadof the stone of the Middle Ages andof many modern English churches.The ribs of the vaults, too, aremerely intersections and not founda¬tions. In contrast to) this is. theheavy effect of the vaulting unit. Bythis plan, each of the five great baysi is divided by a pier on the interior,I so that the effect is of ten bays. Thei vaulting, however, is carried overI two of these smaller units.In regard to the next quarter of theschool year, we have a place for allstudents who feel they would like toput their efforts where the work willcount for the most. Anyone who wantsto help is advised to see Mr. McLean,who will put him in direct touch withthe Community Service committee.Work PraisedFor those who are doubtful aboutthe advisability of taking up this work,we should like to give here the atti¬tude of one or two former studentj workers. Ashburn Koch says of this| work, “To see the lives of a group ofI boys develop can be one of the greatj incentives in the life of a college man.j To watch a boy advance in wisdomI and stature and in favor with Godand man, is indeed an interesting hob¬by. Voluntary community service ap¬peals to me in this way.”Bill Nash, another former studentw'orker says, “Social service gives thestudent of human nature an excellentopportunity to come in contact withpeople of varied personalities, an op¬portunity to come in contact withpeople of varied personalities, an oppor¬tunity to study human nature thatcomes in no other line of service. Astudent in the University of Chicagoneeds an activity to create a diversion.One is apt to lose his sense of pro¬portion if he mingles only with hisclassmates.”This opportunity for service is onewhich is well worth w'hile thinking| about. Any student who feels that heis interested in this sort of work isstrongly urged to look into this atj once and get lined up in some phaseof the work.Miss BreckinridgeChosen To AttendConvention In ParisThe International Convention of So- Icial Workers which is to be held in| Paris from July 8th to 13th, is |j the first of its kind to call representa- jj tives from all countries of the world inorder that problems of social welfare! may be discussed and an international-! agreement reached. The convention hasi been divided into five sections, each ofwhich will be taken up at a differenttime. These divisions include the gen- j! eral organization of social work, edu¬cation, methods of social services forindividuals, social service and industry, iand social service and hygiene.During the first session, the repre¬sentatives will take up the definition,conception, and evolution of socialservice on the whole. They will study| its relation to the social sciences, un¬der the direction of the Hon. Percy| Alden of 'London and Miss SophonisbaPreston Breckinridge, president andv:ce-president of the committee. Dr.j Alice Saulman of Berlin, president ofI the second committee, will lead the| discussion on the schols of social serv-I ice. Mrs. John M. Glenn of New York,{ Albert Thomas of Geneva and GoslaI Bagge of Stockholm, are presidents of! the remaining committees.Represent 20 Countriesj People will be present from twentyJ of the most important countries in the! world, including Germany, Belgium,j Canada, Chili, Denmark, Finland,I France, Great Britain, Greece, Hen-' gary, Italy, Japan, Peru, Poland, Swe¬ den, Czecho-Slavacia and the UnitedStates. *The University is proud of the factthat Miss Breckinridge social workerand educator, and member of the fac¬ulty, has been chosen by the AmericanAssociation of Social Workers, towrite a general account of the condi¬tion of social welfare in this country.! She has long been interested in civicand philanthropic work, having writtenmany books on the subject, so it is fit¬ting that she should represent theUnited States at the convention. MissBreckinridge says that “It is importantthat an international agreement be reached, concerning problems that ef¬fect more than one country, and thatall countries adopt the same methods.”University WomenDesire Marriage—But Career FirstMarriage, a career, or both?What does the campus woman want?University women when ques¬tioned declared that both at once areimpossible. One suggested that shewould like to have a career first, thenmarry and later go back to her career. Others thought marriagewould be a career.Of the 300 students at the IllinoisWomen’s college who were ques¬tioned, 144 replied that they believedin marriage and a career. Sixty-three were not able to decide at thatmoment which of the two theywanted, although 48 wanted only| marriage, 41 only a career, while 26| wanted marriage and a career later.Of the 300 only twelve had noopinions.It is said that women of forty orfifty can be very successful in busi¬ness, if it is assumed that their chil¬ dren can wash their own faces bythat time!Weaver Gives FirstWinter Moody TalkHere On January 17John Van Alystyne Weaver, speak¬ing on “More in America" will deliverthe first of the William Vaugn Moodylectures for the Winter Quarter onJanuary 17.

W. C. A. ; nd W. A. A.,and has helped them to get started withtheir work.The Board of Women’s Organiza¬tions, under Eleanor Wilkins, wasprincipally interested in welcoming theFreshman women during FreshmanWeek. A meeting of the Freshmanwomen was called to interest them invarious activities. Katherine Rose,head of the Federation; Annette Al¬len, president of W. A. A. and Ger¬trude Holmes, president of the Y. W.spoke and the Freshman women wereasked to sign up for work in whichthey were interested. On October 2the board gave a dinner for the firstcabinet of Y. W., the W. A. A. board.Federation council and the two juniorwomen editors of the Daily Maroon atthe Del Prado Hotel. Mrs. EdithFoster Flint, head of the Women’sUniversity council, spoke.The Women's Athletic Association isan organization for the women of theUniversity who are interested in ath¬letics; it supervises extra-curricularathletics and also sponsors socialevents for its members. Thus the in¬terclass hockey teams, awarding of em¬blems for honor athletic teams andother activities such as hiking andhorse-back riding are under the direc¬tion of W. A. A. Women who wish tobelong to the organization are initi¬ated only after earning one hundredpoints. The custom of initiating newmembers each quarter will be changedin favor of one initiation to be held inthe winter quarter, according to Ann¬ette Allen, president. The sale of bal¬loons before the Purdue, Penn andMichigan games to raise money; theTorch held in Dudley Field, the Chi¬cago Night banquet; and the Wiscon¬sin luncheon were all features of theW. A. A. activity program.Since the founding of Federation in1919, the changes in its organization,scope of interest and policy have beenimportant to campus women. Federa¬tion, under the direction of KatherineRose, has been most active in helpingthe Freshman women during their firstquarter in the University. This wasdone through the reorganization of theupperclass counsellor system and thesponsoring of the Freshman Women’sclub. The council meetings for opendiscussion, so successful last year, arebeing continued.The Y. W. C. A. under the directionof Gertrude Holmes, has continued inits customary activities and has alsoadded some new interests. Y. W. isconcerned in working with smallgroups of varied interests in a per¬sonal way, and also w'th larger pro¬jects. The aim of the organization—to acquaint the campus women witjieach other and give them a chance toparticipate in activities—has been car¬ried out through the name luncheons,candle li/ght and vesper services andthe independent work of the variouscommittees. The largest single projectof the fall quarter is the Y. W. Christ¬mas bazaar, to raise money, held thisyear on December 9 in Ida Noyes hall.ity BY ROSALIND GREENMen and women of every national-race, and religion who want toknow how to use telephones, how toappease landlords, how to get sick rel¬atives into hospitals, or who are justtrying to discover how Americans liveand how to live as Americans, appealto the workers of the University Set-Aliment every day for aid or advice.For thirty-tforee years Miss MaryMcDowell, head of the University Settlement, has been teaching and pro¬tecting these helpless foreigners andmaking them into good American citi¬zens. In the region of Ashland andForty-seventh streets she is known as“the lady who will do something,” andand the settlement is known as “theplace where they will listen to you.”Comfortsi All Ages and NationalitiesTo people of all ages and nationali¬ties the settlement is a constant spot of joy and comfort. For the adultsthere are clubs, societies, and classes,while the children are taught schoolwork and also learn to enjoy sportsand become good members of society.There is one club, composed mostlyof illiterate women, whose members donothing but drink coffee and conversein their native languages. This organi¬zation is composed of women whonever belonged to a club in all their lives, and take a singular delight injust knowing that they are membersof such an organization. There areseveral other clubs that hold meetingsat the settlement house where themembers converse in their nativetongues, one composed of Bohemianwomen, another of Slavs.Workers Understand Languages“Although many of the people whocome to our house speak no English, we usually can understand them,” saidMiss McDowell. “One of the firstthings they learn to say is ‘we wantjob.’ With them a job is somethingmore than an eight-hour working day,it is a means of living in a strangecountry and, in time, both foreignersand workers come to regard the jobas one of the most important thingsin life.” “The settlement is entirely demo¬cratic and is run on the principle ofneighborly friendship,” Miss McDow¬ell continued. “We do not give outcharity, but information, and help, andinstructions we freely offer to every¬one in our community, and our doorsare open all day and until ter. at nightfor all who wish to appeal to us forassistance.FOREIGNERS LEARNAMERICAN WAYS ATSETTLEMENT HOUSE “(Soft mt p mm\]f (SrttffcmntBuy Hera “C” Pin Buy HimStationeryBuy YourGifts WhereYou Can TakeYour Time Use thePostal StationFree Wrapping ServiceOn PurchasesHereWhat Better Gift than a—Portable TypewriterNowadays they are as necessary and are made up injust as sporty models as a speedy carMAROON - BLUE - LAVENDER - GREEN - CREAM - REDCarona - Remington - Royal - Ur ierwoodUSE YOUR XMAS CHECK FOR A TYPEWRITERCHICAGO PILLOWSNIFTY GREETING CARDSBOOK ENDS OF MANY SORTSCHICAGO CALENDARSDUNES PHOTOSPENANTS and BANNERSLEATHER PURSE andBOOK-COVER COMBINATIONCANDELABRA THEHOMEofGOODGIFTS NEW CHICAGO SONGBOOKKODAKS—Worth-while GiftsPEN SETS—All VarietiesNOVELTIES IN BRASSSTATIONERY PORTFOLIOSIVOREX PLAQUESGIFT BRIDGE SETSENLARGEMENTSGIFT WRAPPINGSThe University of Chicago Bookstore5802 Ellis Avenue Open Saturday Afternoons iiITHE DAILY MAROON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1927i*Ktn.

NORGRENBasketball CoachThe game, basketball, was originatedby Dr. James Naismith. prompted bythe desirability of a gymnasium teamgame to be played during the winterseason between the football seasonand the beginning of the spring seasonfor outdoor sports. The foundation ofthis new game was to maneuver bypassing, a large, round, inflated ball,from man to man about a court toa position where it might be throwninto a basket or goal, placed ten feetfrom the floor at the end of the courtequi-distant from the side lines. Theunique condition of the play was theprohibition placed upon any player ad¬vancing the ball by running with it.The DribbleIn time, the [flayers developed theknack of dribbling the ball to such anextent that the right to dribble theball was included in the# basketballrules. This allowed a player to ad¬vance the ball by dribbling it but h**could not throw for the basket at theend of the dribble. Following this therule was then changed to allow aplayer to advance the ball by dribblingwith the right to throw for a basektat the termination of his dribble.Thus a new skill was introduced tothe game which soon made passing,the original manoeuver, a secondaryfeature.title this year. Graves copped thirdsabre medal last year and should doeven better in the coming meet.Sophomores Are GoodFriedman is the outstanding sopho¬more. He, Goldberg and Wallace willwork with the foil. Kerr will wield thesabre and may be a foil man. Steere’sfavorite weapon is the epee, but he alsomay alternate at foil. Graves is veryhandy with all three weapons. Peter¬son is strongest with the foil, andEisendrath with the duelling sword.Nash should be a real threat amongsabre men.Schedule ReadyThe fencing schedule has alreadybeen drawn up, the first meet beingwith Milwaukee “Y” here on January7th. Michigan, one of the few schoolsin the conference not yet representedby a fncing team sends word that theyhave made it a varsity sport, and in¬tend to have a capable team which willmeet the Maroons in the near future.

It develops strength andagility. Through it every muscle inthe body is brought into play and theinternal organs are benefited by thisrigorous form of exercise. Wrestlingis a real man’s sport, and one has tohave the earnest intention of going inand doing a man’s job or otherwiseone should not undertake it. Competi¬tive wrestling develops self-confidence,perseverance and the determination towin. It will specially benefit the frailand those who lack physical develop¬ment; it will help them to overcometheir tmidity and provide an opportu¬nity to measure their strength andprowess.How Wrestling StartedWrestling is to be considered themost ancient of gymnastic exercises.It probably originated as a mere testof strength between members of thesame family or tribe, and it was rathera pastime and not an expression ofenmity or vengeance. In those primi¬tive beginnings the mere weight andmass of the rivals and their brute forcedecided the victory.

Maroon pos¬sibilities for the 1928 Olympic team areespecially remarkable. Dick Williams,the present track captain, and “Virg”Gist, who are two of the main bul¬warks of the team, stand a very ex¬cellent chance of making the All-American track squad that will jour¬ney to Amsterdam in far-off Holland.Three of Chicago’s recent graduates,Anton Burg, the high jumping cham¬pion; Freda, the Decathalon star, andRrickman in the high hurdles, are al¬most sure of berths. If all of thesemen come up to expectations, Chicagowill probably have a larger representa¬tion on the team than almost anyother school.Everything Rosy—NowImmediate track prospects are alsoextraordinary. Asst. Coach LonnieStagg says, “Chicago has the bestprospects for a good track team thatit has had for any other season sincethe war. The eligibility bugaboo whichmassacred last year’s potentially stellarteam is not so dangerous this year, asmost of the men on the team haverather good records as students.”As a back-bone for the team, thereare three major “C” men and four OldEnglish letter men back from lastyear’c team. Dick Williams, who iscaptain for the current season, holderof the indoor conference half-milechampionship. Vir Gist of basketballfame, and Fray, who won third in thehigh jump in the conference outdoor,are the major “C” men. The othersare Klein in the shot, Smith, hurdler;(Continued on page 7)PURPLE BALL TEAMPREPARES FOR TRIPAlthough winter has arrived, CoachMaury Kent at Northwestern is seri¬ously preparing for indoor baseballpractice with a view to the trainingtrip of the Purple in the spring.Practice will begin immediately afterChristmas holidays. Heideman andPanosh are two veteran pitchers onhand, but the Wildcats will evidentlybe hard hit by the loss of Lefty Mills,last year’s star. Capt. Luke Johnsonis keeping an eye on the infield ma¬terial, including Kadison, tie secondbaseman, Mellick, first, Hollebb, andone or two others. By Vic RoterusThe Maroon basketball forces willface one of the most formidableteams that will play on the Bartlettfloor this season in the University ofPittsburgh five tonight. Not only hasthe game an intersectional flavor butit will be the last chance for thosestudents who will not be around theprecincts during the holidays to seetheir favorite team in action untilJanuary 3 when the Maroons willhook up in their last preliminarygame against Oregon State College—but then who cares about that.A* We See OthersThe outcome of the game will givethose who like their dope a chancefor comparison with a few neighbor¬ing quintets, namely, Michigan andNorthwestern, for both of theseteams who meet the Marons in theregular Conference season will alsomeet the ambitious easterners. Pitts¬burgh played at Ann Arbor last night(see this morning’s Trib); and to¬morrow night they will play theWildcats whose tail, which took a de¬cided droop toward the latter part ofthe football season ,is gradually as¬cending to a self-respectable heighthdue to the rather sprightly carryings-on of its b. b. team, to which thedown-down sheets have suddenly tak¬en a parental affection. We ratherdoubt whether Pittsburgh was ableto do much to Michigan, again a fav¬orite for conference honors, and wedoubt, too, whether they will be ableto beat the northshore dandies aftersuch a strenuous program as theSmoky City boys have outlined forthemselves. It must not, however, beinferred that Northwestern’s team isat all mean or paltry; quite the re¬verse. They have some very decentball players signed up this season likecenter Walters, the youth from Ko¬komo, Ind., who found out that acollege education does not, after all,cost so much—at least for an athleteof some dimensions.A Shot Here, DoctorBut all this has no bearing on to¬night’s game which is the point ofwriting. Probably some discerningreader has already guessed that, ifthe truth of the matter be let out,ye sports ed is not very anxious todissertate on the immediate point athand. Firstly, because being totallyignorant of the worth of the invad-By Jerome B. StraussWith a total of sixty-five conferencechampionships, and with ten men onthe mythical All-Anerican elevens,Chicago can truthfully lay a claim tobeing the conquerors of the west. Chi¬cago has had almost a complete mon¬opoly on the tennis championships hav¬ing won them twenty-two times. It isa very unusual season that a schoolother than Chicago wins in this sport.Not alone in this sport do the Marooncolors excell, however.In football, the king of collegesports, Chicago has a very great pro¬portion of the available championships.In 1922, the Maroons experienced anundefeated season, but as they hadone tie, they were not accorded thechampionship, being in much the sameposition as Minnesota is this year. Ifall the other teams had won as manychampionships as Chicago, not count¬ing 1922, it would mean that the BigTen had been in existence for seventyyears. These statistics readily show ing five outside of the fact that theyare a standard eastern five, he wouldrather beat around the bush, and,secondly, because he would ratherbeat around the bush anyway. How¬ever, he may be quoted as sayingthat Nels Norgren’s crew of ballpushers must push the ball with moregusto, more dexterity, and more ac¬curacy than they displayed in theMonmouth game which, all told, wasa pretty sad exhibition for a confer¬ence five.Our CirclesSeeing that its about Christmastime, the period of giving till ithurts, let us glance at what the sea¬son has for us and the Bartiet hallfrequeters. December 29 and 31 wehave with us teams from the institu¬tions of DePauw and Butler, respec¬tively—and that reminds us that PaulHinkle, an Old Grad, is coaching atButler. After the Oregon game onJan. 3, the home card is as follows:Jan. 12, Northwestern; Jan. 16, In¬diana; Jan. 28, Minnesota; Feb. 4,Michigan; Feb. 6, Ohio State; andFeb. 17, Illinois.Polo Squad PlansPractice in ArmoryL nder the direction of Lieutenant\\ illiam P. Blair of the military de¬partment, the University polo squadhas been reorganized and has beenholding semi-weekly practices duringthe fall quarter. With the coming ofinclement weather arrangements weremade for the use of the 124 Field Ar¬tillery armory and indoor practice onFriday afternoons instituted, whichwill be continued through the winter.It is the plan of the military depart¬ment to continue the practice of thesquad as at present until the playersattain a degree of proficiency sufficientto warrant the arrangement of intra¬mural matches, which will be run as apart of the regular intramural programof the school.Twelve men have been turning outfor polo during the past quarter: Mel¬vin F. Abrahamson, V. Lewis Bassic,Harold O. Carlson, G. F. James, LouisLevine, Edwin C. Mattick, James G.Paddock, John F. Renhult, W. BuellScace, Walter B. Shank, Chester B..Thrift and Gordon Watrous.Chicago’s superiority in football andin all of the other sports.In addition to having won so manyconference championships, Chicago hasprobably placed more men on All-American teams than any other schoolin the west although complete figuresare not available for all of the otherschools. Up to this year, ten Maroonmen have been accorded this immortalhonor. The first man in this list whichcomposes the greatest of the great inChicago’s Hall of Fame, is ClarenceHirshberger, who made his mark wayback in the Dark Ages of the flyingwedge. After him, come the greatestliving authority on football, WalterEckersall, Wallie Steffen, who now isa judge of great repute, Paul Desger-dens, Nels Norgren, the present coachof Chicago’s basketball team, ChuckMcGuire.

Despite the fact that jmany letter men wlil not return nextyear, ten of them will still be avail¬able for the 1928 Chicago footballteam. A flock of subs and several |good freshmen will fill vacancies |caused by graduation and furnish ithe reserve power. Returning vets ]are Proudfoot, Spence, Weislow, iWeaver, Preiss, Mendenhall, Rays- ,son, Leyers and Libby.One tackle position—captain-at-tackle—will be ably filled by Cap- jtain Weislow. Wieslow played more Jthan any other member of the squad Ilast season and was one of the most ]consistent scrappers in the Maroon !aggregation. Proudfoot will fill the iother tackle post. He played greatball during the last campaign and jshould improve very much with the |aid of a year’s experience.The gap at center, caused by cheloss of Ken Rouse, will be filled bySmall. Brown, Strauss and Riefen-dorf. Small played some last falland should be much better with theexperience gained in the conferencegames in which he took part. Brownwas ineligible but may make a goodpivot man by the time the next gridseason comes around. Strauss, a freshman, is said to be a man withgreat possibilites. He was outstand¬ing among the yearlings and maygive his more experienced rivalsfor the pivot job hard competition.Diefendorf, another freshman, looksgood and should see action nextfall.Weaver BackWeaver, picked on many honoraryteams this year, is the only return-.ing varsity guard. He is big, fast,and driving. Buck developed verymuch last fall and will be one of theoutstanding conference linemen in |the next season. The filling of theother guard post is one of the biggestproblems that will face Coach Stagg. !Cushman was the guard particularlyoutstanding.From present indications it will Ibe foolish for future Maroon oppon¬ents to trifle with Chicago ends. !Preiss and Spence, two varsity ends,are back and with them are Jersild,Daniels and Cassle. Very few teams ;made much ground around Chicago’sends last season and next year the jflank positions should be well-nighimpregnable. The ends cover puntswell and are adept at snaggingpasses. Jersild, Daniels and Cassleare sophomores who did not see muchservice during the past grid cam¬paign but are almost as good as reg¬ulars. A. A.

He will su¬pervise all of the I. M. indoor sports.He managed playground ball, hand¬ball and the cross country run lastyear and set an I. M. record for thenumber of entrants, participating inthe sports he ran-. FOREWORDWe are very well satisfied with Intramiurals this year.The support by the student body has been very good. Manyinnovations have been tried in the past quarter and manymore are planned. We have found the percentage of studentsparticipating in Intra-Mural sports unusually high and hope toraise it still higher. In the past two years the organizationof Intra-Murals has become highly centralized. The depart¬ment is handling contests more efficiently as time goes on.I am very well satisfied with the excellent work which theIntramural staff has accomplished in the quarter just past andfeel that with the full co-operation we are bound to keepgoing forward.ARNOLD JOHNSON,General I. M. Manager RALPH McCORMACK—holds theposition of Spring Sports Manager.As one of last year’s Sophomore as¬sistants he took care of the 1926Swim Carnival and sundry otherthings in such efficient style that hewas chosen to run this year’s springsports.Name All Campus Stars In Review Of Fall Touchball SeasonMOST VALUABLEPLAYERS PLACEDON HONOR TEAMGist, Cody again WinPositions InBackfieldBy NORMAN ROOTChoosing an All-University Touch-ball team for the 1927 season is a verydifficult task as each team seems tohave some outstanding player whoseems deserving of mention. How¬ever. I have made my choice onlyafter a thorough investigation andafter having witnessed the games ofevery team entered in the tournament.Clifford Alger, Psi Upsilon (Cap¬tain); Carl Berninger, Phi DeltaTheta; Virgil Gist, Phi Kappa Psi;Herbert Beardsley, Phi Pi Phi (Cen¬ter ); Allen East, Phi Kappa Psi; Vic¬tor Roterus, Delta Chi; Joseph Cody,Macs.One position on the All-Star teamand the captaincy of it goes to CliffordAlger, of Psi Upsilon, whose ability topass accurately, carry the brunt of thepunting, run in an open field and playa good defensive game put his teamin the first place berth.. Carl Berninger, of Phi Delta Theta,is a man of fair speed and is, indeed,one of the shiftiest players I have everseen. Many times Carl has out-dodgedthe rushing linemen of the opposingteam and covered much yardage be¬fore being stopped by the rear defense.Virgil Gist, of Phi Kappa Psi, re¬ceived his training through Varsitytrack and basketball. His ability hasclearly been shown on the touchbai!field.Herbert Beardsley, ot Phi Pi Phi,merits his position on the All-Starteam through his flawless record at thecenter position. His record is >>ne thatis free from a single had psss andshows a consistent, brilliant perform¬ance on the defensive.Allen East a Phi Psi player, andcertainly a future dash man, ran theopen field so well that it would hesheer neglect on my part to leave himoff the stellar squad.Victor RotVrus seemed to he thewhole Delta Chi team; although notan exceptionally fast man, his runningability, as well as that of passing, couldnot be surpassed by many.Joseph Cody, representing the Macs,is also a good all ’round player. Heruns like a deer and passes in bullet¬like fashion. Joe carried the brunt ofthe Macs’ offensive attack and did itexceedin gly well.Twenty-Eight TeamsEnter Golf TourneyTwenty-eight, out of a possible thir¬ty-two, fraternities entered teams inthe golf tournament. In the entirecourse of play there were only two for¬feits out of twenty-seven matches.Then, too, there were no protests, al¬though no matches were refereed.The winner of the 1927 tournamentwas Pi Lambda Phi who played DeltaTau Delta for the championship. ThePi Lambda team was composed ofDebs, Klein, and Lelewer. Klein waslow score man for the tournament witha seventy-six. Fall Quarter SetsNew Record forSports ActivitiesHARRY HAGEYFall Sports ManagerThe Intramural Division has enjoyedanother successful quarter of activityand has hung up a new set of recordsfor next year’s managers to shoot at.As the old saying goes, “Tthings havebeen done in a bigger and better way,”and in the lull before next quarter’srush a pause may be made to considerthe success with which a new flock ofmedals, loving cups, etc., have beenpassed out to certain deserving youngmen of the University. To pass overthe improved quality of the depart¬ment’s work and consider the quanti¬tative side, there is a vast amount ofevidence of progress.Part of the success was due to achange in policy regarding some ofthe minor sports. Elimination tourna¬ments were used in horseshoes andgolf, which proved to be much moresatisfactory than the old team-playmethod.Office EfficientNot to be under-estimated in a con¬sideration of factors contributing tothe success of the Fall Quarter Intra¬murals is the vast improvement in of¬fice efficiency.Forty-five freshmen reported to theDivision at the beginning of the year,and from this group an adequate forceof assistants was obtained. The workof the sophomore managers was highlycommendable in every case.Finally, the cooperation of the stu¬dents participating in the Intramuralathletics was very gratifying to theDivision. Under adverse conditionsgames were supported and a fine spiritof sportsmanship displayed. It is sig¬nificant that during the entire quarternot a single protest was made. Thatis indicative of the backing the Divi¬sion has received from the students,and promotes confidence in future un¬dertakings.NOVICE WRESTLINGMEET DRAWS MUCHINTEREST ON CAMPUSThe fourth annual Novice WrestlingMeet was held November 29 and 30thin the West Sand. Unusual interestwas shown, and the wrestling roomwas jammed both with spectators andparticipants. This interest was due tothe three-place medals and the largeorganization trophy given, and to thefact that Coach Vorres had promisedto all winners try-outs on the Varsityand Freshman Wrestling teams. Thelarge entry list seems to promise evengreater participation in the future.The organization trophy wras wonby Kappa Sigma with 17 points.Lambda Chi Alpha was second with10 points. The bouts were all good,that of Malchcski, Tau Kappa Epsilon,particularly featuring — Malcheskidowned his man in 45 seconds.About 20 men who had entered wereunable to wrestle in the meet, eitherbecause of not weighing in on time, ornot getting their medical examination. SWIM CARNIVALAUDIENCE CROWDSGYM NATATORIUMA. T. O. Wins First Meetby Three PointMarginBy JOSEPH R BRADY, ManagerDespite the cold wave that sweptinto Chicago during the SwimmingCarnival week and kept many in, theBartlett Natatorium was well filled forthe event by over 250" high school, fra¬ternity, and club men and womenspectators. 144 different contestantsparticipated in the meet.A. T. O.’s WinThe meet was won by the well-rounded A. T. O. team that entered infive of the seven events that wereopen to Intramural swimmers. Lock-wood, the individual star of the meet,made 10 of A. T. O.’s 16 points. Hescored two firsts, and lowered the 100-yard free style mark from 1:04 4-10 to59 1-5. In the prelims he also brokethe 40-vard free style record, but failedto repeat it in the finals. His besttime of the meet was 19 9-19 seconds.Phi Gamma Delta was close on A. T.O’s heels with 13 points. Tucker,winner of the 60-yard back stroke, andsecond place winner in the 220-yardfree style, was high point man forPhi Gamma Delta. Third and fourthplace was a tie between Phi SigmaDelta and the Macs, both scoring 10points, while Tau Delta Phi with 8J/Jgot firth place.The most exciting event of the eve¬ning was the Intramural relay whichwas won by A. T. O. When Lockwoodstarted off on the last lap for A. T. O.,Tau Delta Phi was a few feet in thelead, but in a fast and very close finish,Lockwood clinched the race for A.T. O.Englewood Wins RelayThe high school relay between HydePark, Senn, Englewood, Lindbloom,and Tilden was another feature event.Each team had six men. Englewoodfinished first by 2:10, or one-half sec¬ond better than Tilden’s mark of lastyear.Two added attractions were put onby Coach McGillivray’s varsity men.Fellinger and Oker gave an exhibitiondiving act that was intended to be andreally was an excellent comedy sketch.The vanity polo team battled thealumni polo team in the final event ofthe evening. This also was a treat thatthe crowd appreciated as was shownby their applause.List High PointTouchball PlayersAs a check on the selections for All-Campus, reference may be made tothe individual scoring record. Beloware listed the ten high-point men ofthe tourney:1.East, Phi Kappa Psi—54 points.2.Gist, Phi Kappa Psi—48 points. 3.Beringer, Phi Delta Theta—30 points.4.Root, Phi Pi Phi—30 points. 5.

Alger, Psi Upsilon—24 points. Winter Athleticsto be Continued;On Larger ScaleWinter sports will be carried onnext quarter on a larger scale thanever and most events will be startedby the second week of the quarter. ,Basketball A and B will get underway first, and a very superior brand ofthe game will be in order, as the teamshave been working out regularly innight practice sessions in Bartlett.Hand ball will be run off on theelimination-consolation plan, and willprovide a snappy tournament. Bowl¬ing is assured success this year, as wehave obtained the cooperation ofWake Burke, who is in charge of thealleys.Interest in GrapplingWrestling should be a big event, asgreat interest was displayed in the Fallquarter tournament. Boxing and foulshooting will also have their place onthe quarter’s program.The Fourth Annual Intramural In¬door Athletic Carnival, held near theend of the quarter, will be the biggestevent of the season. Finals in track,A basketball, wrestling and boxingwill be on the program and the spec¬tators will see a highly interestingand diversified spectacle.Although we have never held suchwinter sports as hockey, billiards,chess or checkers we will be glad toconduct such contests if sufficient in¬terest is manifested by the studentbody.The management of all sportsshould be Pf high calibre as the sopho¬more sport managers are very capable.Prospects are bright for even a higherrate of participation than has been hadin the past and we feel safe in pre¬dicting a great quarter for Intra¬murals.POPULARITY OFHORSESHOE TILTSGROWS ONE-THIRDThe elimination-consolation methodwhich was introduced this year for thefirst time in horse shoe tournamentsoffered an impetus to the red-bloodedsport. Over 350 men were entered andplayed matches during the season.This compares quite favorably withthe 242 men that participated last year.There were about forty more daublesteams entered under the new systemthan under the old.Bollaert of Sigma Alpha Epsilonwon the singles championship. Thedoubles trophy was won by Masseyand Fisher of Beta Theta Pi inone of the outstanding matches of theentire season. In the consolationsingles tournament Lindwall won firstplace. The winners of the consolationdoubles tournament were Norberg andSteere of Lambda Chi Alpha.In winning the singles champion¬ship, Bollaert demonstrated that he isone of the best players that has everplayed horse shoes at the University.His ability to toss “ringers” w’as al¬most uncanny. Another outstandingperformer was Werth, who finishedsecond. His consistent, rather thanspectacular style, such as was demon¬strated by Bollaert, enabled him toobtain the high place that he won. PHI GAMS, PHI SIGS PRESS LEADERSAS FALL SEASON ENDS; TOUCHBALLCOMPETITION WON BY PSI UPSILONOver 450 Players EngageIn TouchballContestsThe 1927 Intramural TouchballTournament ended December 2nd w'ithPsi LTpsilon as champion, having de¬feated Phi Kappa Psi in the cham¬pionship game by a 12-6 score. Thisis the third successive year that Psi U.has come out on top, but, in lookingover the experienced men that willoppose them next year, one is more orless forced to conclude that at the closeof the 1928 season a new championwill be hailed.The runners-up honors for‘1927 wentto Phi Kappa Psi, while third andfourth place fell to Delta Upsilon andPhi Delta Theta respectively.Besides the awards for Universit}championship there were also trophiesfor all of the five League Champions.In the “Alpha” League Phi DeltaTheta was undisputed champion, withPhi Gamma Delta just behind for therunner-up position. Phi Kappa Psicopped the “Beta” League cup, havingnosed out Delta Chi. The “Gama”League went to Delta Upsilon, withKappa Nu .in second place. Psi Upsi¬lon easily captured the “Delta” Leaguewhen they defeated the Macs. The“Epsilon” League championship wasawrarded to Phi Pi Phi who put up abrilliant and persistent fight to forceout the strong Chi Psi team.The competition was tremendouslykeen as each of the league battlesmay be pictured as a hard foughtgame, with things just about “nip andtuck,” and many an extra period beingplayed.The Graduate 'League also meritsmention, although only three teamswere entered. The Law School put upa hard fight to come out as undefeatedchampions, over the Chicago Theologi¬cal Seminary and the Divinity School.Judging from the amount of pep andinterest displayed in the GraduateLeague we can look forward to aneven better Tournament next year.The total number of participantsreaches the 450 mark—this was madeup of 407 fraternity men, 13 non-fra¬ternity, and 30 graduate players. Outof the 97 games that were scheduled,79 were played; this leaves only 18games forfeited, a decided decrease inforfeitures in comparison with lastyear.Compare LeadersWith Last Year’sFall, 1926 Leaders:1.

Thistime bettered the record set by DickWilliams in the first run two years ago.Letts wore the Phi Psi colors and withFarwell and Matthias composed theteam that took the organization cham¬pionship to Phi Psi for the secondstraight year. This team scored only13 points while D U came secondwith 24 points. Letts, a freshman,should be one of the outstanding trackstars of the varsity in the next fewyears. The race also uncovered an¬other star: Changnon, D U, who fin¬isher second, was not far behind Letts,and he, too, should win points for thevarsity in the next three years.In comparison with previous racesthis event proved to be far superior.The number of entries was slightlygreater than last year, but what is byfar more important is the fact that thenumber of men finishing the two andone-half mile grind was twice as greatas last year(<(Page Four THE DAILY MAROON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1927PLACEY.M.C.A.MEMBERSHIP ONDIFFERENT BASISAssociate MembershipsOffered To MenBy New PlanMembership in the campus Y. M.C. A. has been placed on a newbasis. "Because of the large num¬ber of men interested in specialphases of the program, the member¬ship committee voted to offer anassociate membership to those stu¬dents desiring it,” said Mr. M. I>.McLean, Y. M. C. A. secretary.Must State PruposeThis membership is intended forall students who believe in the typeof work the Y. M. C.

A. program."It is the purpose of the member¬ship committee to acquaint asso¬ciate members with the type of workin which they have a general inter¬est so that they may become activemembers,” said Mr. McLean. -Active membership now rests onthe following basis:1. The filling out of the purposestatement blank.2. Having a knowledge of theway in which the Y. M. C. A. isorganized.3. Assuming responsibility in !either the Y. M. C. A., some other 1activity, or the church.Work Out Philosophy“Mr. Hoagland pointed out that 1the real purpose of the Y. M. C. A.was to help students work out forthemselves a constructive philosophyof life. The purpose statement re- Iquired of active members is intendedto help a student formulate some of :his own objectives in life. In the jpast, members have been asked tosubscribe to a purpose that had beenformulated for them. For the mostpart this had not been very meaning¬ful in the lives of the men,” saidMr. McLean. “It is the hope of themembership committee that a largenumber of men will avail themselvesof the opportunities for discussionand working out a genuine lifephilosophy through the associationsof the Y. M. C. A.”A large number of fraternities anddormitories have already receivedmembership material. According toCarl Henrickson, of the membershipcommittee, he expects that over twohundred and fifty men will becomeassociate members.

MARTIN SPRENGLING(Professor of Arabic Languagesand Literature.)Christmas is inevitably associated inour minds with Bethlehem and theNear East. Yet Christmas in a senseIs not a feast in the Near East at all.The date, late in December, prettyclearly in some way associated withthe winter solstice and the idea of theunconquered sun, is not a thing of theNear East, most especially in thatsoutherly, Memetic portion in whichwe localize it in connection with thebirth of Jesus. In Palestine, Syria,Mespot, Egypt, and Arabia, the coolwinter and its rains are by no meansa curse of the gods, nor is the summersun an unmixed blessing.Comes From WestThe date of the institution, orrite of adoration of the newborn babe,born in a manger, is introduced from theLatin west. To the present day it is aLatin ceremony only, even at Bethlehemtself.The Christmas festival, then, so faras it has been able to penetrate theNear East, is largely a loan or giftfrom the West. The truly Easternchurches, moreover, celebrate it some¬what later than the West, for the mostpart at varying dates early in January.The East is a little slower than theWest. They b-gin their month whenthey see the n- moon. They acceptthe evidence that the light of the worldis returning when they see it definitely.coming nearer. But if the East is JI slower, it is surely coming along.The idea of good will among men,expressed in the giving of presents,with the Northern peoples so intimate¬ly associated with Christmas, has takeneven longer in its journey eastward.Only where the modern Protestantmissionary work has left its mark isChristmas found in Arabic speakinglands.Spirit Crosses JordanTo cite a case in point: this Christ¬mas of 1927 will be the first of itskind to be celebrated in Transjordaniain a purely native community. AProtestant Christian family of natives,Donnet by name, has founded by theirown hitherto unaided means, a little in¬dustrial boarding school for orphans inAjlun, near the northern border of1 Transjordania. This is a foundationthat rests, as the writer personallyknows, upon as pure a Western andNorthern Christian spirit as any es¬tablished in the modern world. Herewe have, indeed, the Svro-Palestiniannative taking up the ‘‘white man’s bur¬den.”The beginning is small, the meansare small; yet there a Christian cradlewill gleam with the unsullied light offaith in Christian good will among men.The little orphanage in Ajlun has nogreat network of propaganda to drawin its direction any attention from thegreat sources of means of maintenancein the West. At the most some fifteenor twenty orphans can be cared for atpresent. “Y” Committee Aids YardsKids By Settlement WorkBY DON MACK(Y. M. C. A. Social Work Chairman.)The Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A.are making extensive plans for theusual Christmas work, under the guid¬ance of the Community Service com¬mittee. Our purpose is to providecheer for boys and girls of the settle¬ment house who would otherwise have none. In this work, if we are to carryout the plans, we must have the co¬operation of everyone, especially thefraternities.Want Co-operationBecause the Y. W. C. A. has foundit impossible to give their customaryparty for the settlement kiddies we are asking the fraternities to co-operatewith us, and would like at least ten ofthem to give dinners to a group ofthese settlement children. It has beensuggested that each fraternity choosethe age of the children it wishes toentertain. This dinner could be givenon Sunday, December 18, and the en¬tertainment need not exceed two hoursincluding the time necessary for trans¬portation. Each fraternity is to re¬ceive a definite and separate invitationto co-operate in the undertaking. This year the committee has plannedlo send out Christmas baskets, each1 asket to contain canned goods, fruit,and old clothes. Mr. McLean hasaskvd that these baskets be sent tothe Y. M. C. A. office the week beforeChristmas. Because this work is com¬paratively new on this campus, weneed the help of fraternities and anyone else who is interested and willingto help. Each student and teacher cando his share in this very worth-whileproject.Mjm (To JHorslftji'tofapiaitMooWainnUtenur anb 57th Street(Jon Ocjden (Jocft — ministerSUNDAY, DECEMBER 18, 19271 1 A.

MarjorieTolman, in charge of the exhibit,promises that it will be replete withred sashes, flashing swords and dare¬devil dives. Ethel Brignall, as hero¬ine, will be forced to walk the pirategang-plank.Concentrate On Red CrossConcentrating its efforts upon there-establishment here of a RedCross life saving corps for women,Tarpon club will end one of themost valuable quarters of its exist¬ence.The life-saving work was begunwhen Miss Edith Ballwebber, of thewomen’s physical education depart¬ment, discovered that the Universitywas the first university in the coun¬try to establish a life-saving corpsfor women. It had dissolved becauseof lack of interest.Under the direction of Miss Ball¬webber, a Red Cross examiner, Tar¬pon members have spent their Fri¬day noon meetings working on thelife saving tests. Following thecompletion of the instruction earlynext quarter the corps will be or¬ganized. Besides Tarpon memberswho have passed their tests member¬ship will be open to all women inthe University holding Red Crosslife saving certificates. The tests must be passed once each year toinsure the capability of the cer¬tificate holders.According to Miss Mary McBir-ney Green, faculty sponsor, this* pro¬motion of an interest in life savingis in furtherance of Tarpon’s pur¬pose to promote an interest in swim¬ming and to develop the swimming ofthose already interested.Tarpon included in its quarter’slife saving program a demonstrationby a Red Cross expert, well knownamong Chicago swimmers as “XYZ.”Following a precedent establishedlast spring, quarter initiation thisfall was in the form of an alumnaeparty. Several old members re¬turned for the occasion at which six¬teen new members were installed.Marianna Irwin was in charge.Tarpon sponsored the Lake Mich¬igan marathon, also, which is still be¬ing swum, via chart, in the pool atIda Noyes hall. Entrants in themarathon keep a record of thenumber of pool lengths swum.Eleven lengths of the tank equal thelength of one city block, or one-eighth of a mile. The marathon isprimarily for the benefit of begin¬ning swimmers.Membership in Tarpon may begained by passing a simple “Tad¬pole” test; then members may ad¬vance by means of the “Frog” testand finally through the ‘Fish” de¬gree which is the highest and mostdifficult. Officers of the organiza¬tion are Ruth Moore, president;Ethel Brignall, vice-president; HelenByanskas, secretary and HarrietSmith, treasurer. HOCKEY MOSTPOPULAR SPORTAT NOYES GYMOnly Interclass Activity DuringFall TermField hockey, which is probablythe most popular sport among uni¬versity women today, is the fall sportof major interest among womenhere.It is the interclass competitivesport for the quarter and results ofthe hockey tournament count towardthe award of the championship cupin the spring to the class team hav¬ing made the best record in inter¬class competition during the year.Eighty candidates for team positionscame out for practice this fall. Mostof these players were of junior col¬lege ranking, however, and thejuniors and seniors were handicappedby dearth of material. Miss OrsieThomson coached the juniors andseniors, Miss Mary McBirney Greenwas the sophomore mentor and MissMargaret Burns drilled the greensquad.Sophs Win TourneySophomores won the tournamentwith the no-defeat record of fivegames won and one tied; freshmenplaced second with three victories, atie and two defeats; seniors edgedinto third place by winning onegame, tieing three and losing two,and juniors trailed with one tie andfive defeats.As a result of this tournament thesophomores have a five-point claimon the championship cup, the fresh¬men three, the seniors two and thejuniors one.Gudrun Egeberg captained thesenior team, Frances Ne’~on thejuniors, Bertha Heimerdinger thesophomores and Dorothy Hall thefreshmen. At the close of the seasonthe juniors elected Mary Shurman tocaptain their team next year; thesophomores chose Clair Davis andGoing Home for Christmas?Wonderful to think of isn’t it?

Substitutes: BeatriceScheibler, Mary Shurman, NaomiFike, Mary Abbott, Helene Simonand Lillian Schlesinger.Beginners ClashBeginning hockey players had ex¬perience in team competition in theannual round-robin intersectionaltournament. In order to increaseinterest in hockey among beginningplayers and to encourage them totry out for class teams, Miss Burnsorganized a squad known as the All-Star beginners which was composedof the best players from the begin¬ning classes and which challengedthe class teams to games.When they trimmed an off-formfreshman team 4 to 1 they beganto feel proud of themselves, butwhen they held the soph champs toa scoreless tie they established theirclaim to the All-Star name. More than 1,000 University womenparticipated in one of the eight sportsoffered by the women’s physical edu¬cation department this quarter. Astaff of eight women, experienced inphysical education work, instructedthe students. According to MissGertrude Dudley, head of the depart¬ment, an increase of one in the sizeof the staff made it possible to offer |a greater variety of work.Have Wide ChoiceThe women had their choice ofhockey, the interclass sport for thefall quarter, captain bali, rhythms,swimming, golf, horseback riding,bowling and corrective gymnasium.Captain ball, always one of themost popular of the autumn quartersports, aroused more than usual interest. Five classes were necessaryto take care of the heavy enrollment.From two to four teams were formedin each class and opposed each otherin intersectional competition preparatory to the championship finals, whichwere held the evening of November22. The annual captain ball dinner,which was in charge of Miss AlmaWiley, instructor in the department,was held immediately preceding thefinals of the tournament and wasattended by 138 captain ball enthusi¬asts. A consolation tournament forthe first-round losers was held inconnection with the championshipfinals. The 11 o’clock “Frogs” wonthe championship after defeating six ifinalists. The Whippets of the sameclass were victors in the consola¬tion tournament. Miss Orsie Thom¬son had charge of the tournament.Award NumeralsMembers of the winning team were awarded captain-ball insignia andpoints toward membership in W. A. A.Sixty women registered for begin¬ning and intermediate rhythms, an¬other of the fall quarter minor activi¬ties. In order to further interest inrhythms a club of advanced rhythmspupils was organized, with MissEmily White, instructor, as director.The club will foster exhibits to beheld later in the year. Due largelyto the efforts of the club and MissWhite rhythms was put on a pointbasis by W. A. A. this quarter forthe first time. A major part in aprogram and assistance with cos¬tumes or scenery will count towardmembership. Last Wednesday thecombined rhythms classes presentedan informal program in the lowergymnasium at Ida Noyes hall. Thework of the quarter was exhibited.About forty women entered thebeginning golf closses, and they havespent the latter part of the quarterplaying rounds on the near-bycourses. The annual golf tourna¬ment, sponsored by W. A. A., will beheld during spring quarter. Bowl¬ing, swimming and corrective gym¬nasium interested many of the womentaking physical education work.As a result of the interest shownin horseback riding by Ihe sixty*women enrolled in the classes thisfall, a riding club for Universitywomen will be organized next spring,under the direction of W. A. “Rid¬ing hikes” to the Palos lodgeand other long rides are planned byMarianna Irwin, riding representative on the W. A. A. board.

The men beginby placing one hand on opponent’s beltand the other on his shoulder. Vic¬tor}' is gained by the man who suc¬ceeds in throwing his adversary on theback. Our modern styles of wrestlingare the Greco-Roman and the “catch-as-catch-can” style. These two formsare practiced by professional wrestlersabroad as well as in our country. TheGreco-Roman style develops mostlythe upper part of the body. It is veryspectacular, as it gives the opportu¬nity for a display of strength which isnot shown as much in our Americanstyle of wrestling.

All three men are verygood jumpers, and all three use dif¬ferent methods to get over the bar.This is very unusual and is only pos¬ sible because Chicago believes in let¬ting men develop along the lines mostnatural to them.On the whole, Chicago for this year and for some years to come stands tohave track teams which will wipe awaythis stigma of some other seasons thatwere not so successful.Good enoughfor Dad-good enoughfor youEdgeworth **NORTHLAND SKISChr^tmasAnd? / o ulacking: ingift ideas . . .how about ai r ofNorth landsfor your out-k door - lovingfriend ?Few gifts will give so much pleas¬ure . . . none can give morelasting satisfaction.

Their size is usually six orseven inches deep (as laid), eight or nine inches wideand eight or eight and one-half feet long. The sizegoverns the number used, which varies from about2,900 to about 3,200 to the mile. Treatment withpreservative chemicals, which is now a general prac¬tice, has raised the average length of service of cross¬ties to somewhere between twelve and eighteen years.Rails today are made of open-hearth steel, rolledto the well-known T-shaped cross-section, tested andinspected in modern mills. They vary in length, thestandard having climbed from thirty to thirty-threeand then to thirty-nine feet in recent years. Railsare classified by their weight in pounds per lineal yard.Heavy traffic today commonly travels over 90-pound,100-pound, 105-pound and so on up to 150-pound rails.Few new rails are ordered today lighter than 90-pound,although some old ones as light as 56-pound are stillin use on branch lines, sidings and industry tracks.The average service of rails under main-line traffic isfrom ten to fifteen years, but additional years are putin by the same rails in secondary locations-The standard guage of track in the United Statestoday is four feet eight and one-half inches betweenrails. Each rail is fastened to each crosstie with atleast two spikes. Steel or iron plates between therails and the ties help to prevent both wear on the tiesand lateral movement of the rails. The rails themselvesare fastened together at the ends by steel angle bars,or joints, containing either four or six bolts commonlyprovided with spring washers or lock nuts. In thelaying of track, care is taken to “stagger” the railjoints, so that one does not come opposite the other butrather opposite the middle of a rail. This increasesthe comfort of railway travel.Where is is necessary for the track to render anadditioal service by conducting electric current forsignal and other circuits, the ends of the rails are“bonded,” or connected, by short wires. Since railshave a tendency to creep, or move longitudinally, undertraffic, rail anchors or anti-creepers are applied to therails every few feet, bearing against the sides of thecrossties, in order to keep the rails where they belong.Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited.L.

Christian Explains Attitudeof Military Department, ExplodesOld Ideas on Drill and TrainingBy Major T. J. J. Christian, F. A.Head of the Department of MilitaryScience and Tactics so that the military training is knownto have a distinct value, as a by-prod¬uct in civilian vocations. There areA traveler in ancient Sparta, sur¬prised at the lack of defense of thecity, enquired of the king: “Where areyour walls?” The king took his vis¬itor to the plains outside the city, and,pointing to the ranks of disciplinedtroops at drill, replied, “These are thewalls of Sparta—every man a brick.”Sparta stressed military serviceabove other civic and ethical duties—a mistake never made by the UnitedStates in its unpreparedness for eachof its wars, but our Nation’s defense—like that of Sparta — consists not ofcostly fortified walls, a large standingarmy—but rather of its own able-bod¬ied citizens.The walls of our country have theirfoundations in the National DefenseAct of 1920. “What are our walls?”They are our own young men — anarmy of people.A citizens’ army must depend forits success on trained leaders—a par¬tially trained, unskilled officer under¬taking the serious responsibilities ofmodern war is a grave failure on thebattle-field, where the forfeit is paidin the lives of his men.The country looks to its centers ofeducation—its colleges and universi¬ties—as the natural source for trainedand educated leaders.NEED FOR OFFICERSThe foregoing is by way of present¬ing a panoramic field of view, beforemaking a “close-up” of the militarytraining at the University of Chicago,w’hich constitutes an integral part ofNational Defense.There are under training on theMidway this year a number of embryofield artillery officers, considerablymore than half the total strength offield artillery officers in the U. S.Army in the spring of 1917.In the World War it became nec¬essary to expand overnight **' ’ *missioned personnel of Field A,7,100 per cent. There were 200,000 of¬ficers in the U. S. Army on Nov. 11,1918, or practically twice as many offi¬cers as there were enlisted men in theRegular Army on April 6, 1917. Ofthis number, 56,000 were furnishedfrom the colleges and universities,—while over 150,000 had no experiencein command.LEADERS DEVELOPEDOne of the principal objectives ofthe training of an officer is naturallyto develop leadership. The attributesof leadership are as applicable inpeaceful pursuits as they are in war, certain intangible qualities of leader¬ship, such as character, force, initia¬tive, personality, courtesy, loyalty, ex¬ecutive ability, discipline, which de¬mand stressing in military training ofthe moral and physical values as wellas the mental. University militarytraining is certainly no panacea for allstudent ills—it is just another course,which affords value to the individualstudent commensurate with the effortexpended. It is not “apart from” butan integral “part of” the UniversityTRAINING IS MODERNWith the giant strides of scientificinventions and mechanization sincethe World War, the military art hastried to keep apace. Perhaps war nolonger retains the modern romance ofthe “man on horseback,” but is an all-inclusive science, a “laboratory” sub¬ject and one of research, which dove¬tails into many fields of education.The president of the University ofMissouri has stated “that the mathe¬matics of the artillery units is as valu¬able as that taught in any other branchof the university. Topography, Mili¬tary <Law, and History and other pure¬ly educational subjects improved thestudent’s mind no matter where theytake them.”A BRAIN DEVELOPERThe University Military Sciencecourses are “head drills” rather than"foot drills,” for the strenuous effortis directed towards making a B aver¬age rather than keeping step at 120strides per minute. Most of the “drill”consists in practical mounted work,which is closely allied with the Uni¬versity intra-mural sports. While it isnot believed that a student will nor¬mally “go to his drill rejoicing,” efforthas been made to make the coursesvaluable, instructive, interesting andattractive, and not a forced task, nora disciplined drudgery.It is understood that a speaker in arecent tirade against the Military De¬partment, compassionately completedhis preroration with these words, “For¬give them, Lord, they know not whatthey do.” The department needs noforgiveness, for it knows exactly whatit is doing on the campus.The students in the department areof a high type and have a fine spirit.They are seriously interested in theirwork, and as members of this unit ofNational Defense, there is a deeperpatriotic significance to be attached tothe uniform they wear—they are notliving for self alone.STETSONHATS±0 the young man whodiscerns style and under¬stands quality, the newStetson soft hats havea natural appeal.

We flickedthrough the fifty-odd pages of the magazine at leisure. Toour surprise, and joy, we came upon the names of severalnew writers with whom we were more than objectively familiar- They were more than merely well-known professionalmen of belles-lettres. They were from our own University.Indeed, we were not fortunate enough to have enjoyed apersonal intimacy with these people. They were but faintlymarked in the campus fabric of our alma mater. Neverthe¬less, they were there, five of them in this particular issue—George Hill Dillon, John Gunther, Leslie River, ElizabethMadox Roberts, and that almost mythical figure. GlenwayWestcott. Truly, the University, as far as its literary lightis concerned, was well reflected- Before us we had five com¬paratively young writers figur¬ing. quantitatively at least, inthe so-called “wave of theyoung” that is heralded as anearmark of the twentieth cenfury in literature, music andart. The mere fact that five ofour alumni were being pub¬lished by creditable houses, nomatter what the weary criticshad to say of their efforts,filled our heart with somethin:?akin to pride. Some of theseyouthful writers even overlapped our own generation.One of them we remember assitting at this very typewriterhammering out, in all proba¬bility, such tripe as this. Andonly four years ago.At realization of this, vainand superficial creature thatwe are, it seemed as if the keys took on a brighter lustre,and the words, that we daily hammer out for the editorialcolumn, came more willingly. Of course these five of thenew irare are not all destined to repost' grandiliquently inthe halls of fame. The critics—and, being loth to act insuch a capacity ourself, we quote them—have scathinglycaterwauled them, unloading such terms as “pubescent ’ and“puerile” at their feet. There was no bowing and salaamingbefore tht' title Eden For One, nor did they call Leslie Riverthe future Arthur Schnitzler, as have his publishers, anr.compare Death of a Young Man with Rhapsody. Even GeorgeDillon, whose poetry Edna St. Vincent Millay recently said“she loved,” was romped upon in a gentle way by Miss RuthLechlitner of the II<ndd-Tribnnc- And. although Miss Lech-litner is only one of the Weary Critics, she is one of the WearyCritics. Romping is pleasant on virgin soil they say. . . .And there are others, yes many others, whom we have notmentioned. There is Alan LeMay with his Painted Ponies,Vincent Sheehan with his Anafonn/ of Virtue. Burton Ilascoe—who was lien* a gray time ago—and his Morrow's Almanac,Call Van Vechten, who has disowned the University, andPthr Whiffle (we think it is his best). Sheehan is one ofthe most audacious journalistic figures in the country, havingcovered the Riff war in Africa and marched with the Spanishtroops in Morocco. Rascoe is characterized in every creditable American literary portraiture, including the LiterarySpotlight of Conrad Aiken. He is editor of The Bookman,whose mailing list has doubled since he took the helm. Asfor Carl Van Vechten, we do not venture at a literary esti¬mate- His name is not unfamiliar to the reading public ofAmerica. Though he is trying to smother the Iowa corn-huskerisms of a bucolic past in an aborted diction of NewYork sophistication, lit' reflects, in The Blind Botr-Boy, someof his days on our own campus. But we feel that this latter group are of the past. They are less intimately associatedwith our own literary gestures than those who overlap ourown generation. And none of them have blossomed into printuntil they advanced beyond the college pale.Of this more recent group, Glen way Westcott and ElisabethMadox Roberts, who have each published two volumes, seemto have fared the better. It is true that they can claim aseniority over the others in the Chicago regime . . . theyhave been in the business longer and the announcing of theirnovels by a publisher is now somewhat of a professionalflourish. And they have been received warmly.Two fiom the Poetry Club. - . .Miss Roberts’ The Time of Man enjoyed a wide circulation.It was chosen by the Book-of-the-Month Club as one of thebest novels of the year. Her lat¬est novel, My Heart and Flesh,also gives promise of beingamong the better sellers- Glen¬way Westcott. even more suc-essful than Miss Roberts, hasbeen in the limelight since TheGrandmothers. It was not afirst novel, but its sensitive del¬icacy won for it a generous acclaim. Many are of the opinionthat his first novel was jperi-or. If it was the critics of itstime did not believe so, but crit¬ics are never enthusiastic aboutfirst novels. Even ElisabethRoberts and Glen way Westcottare somewhat legendary fig¬ures. Let us get down to the lasttrio, those who overlap ourtimes at the University. . . .As for John Gunther. . . .We get stray letters now andthen addressed to Mr- JohnGunther, literary editor of The Daily Maroon. The publish¬ing houses do not know that John has long since advancedinto more professional territory. Still the letters come, andwith such persistency that we realize that he must have beenambitious in his pursuit after knowledge of the new books.And then come legends and anecdotes about John, an inevit¬able occurrence they say. They tell us that The Red Pavillion,his first novel, was somewhat of a mess. We even thoughtso ourselves when we read it. He was too flush with hisimpressions of the erudite. He overdid himself. And nowcomes Fden For One, first published in London, where theauthor resides, and then released here by Harper andBrothers- John wanted to do just as he pleased, so he wrotea fantasy. He invented a maze of almost preposterous eventsand illogical connexions and excused \t all by saying. “Myname is John Gunther and in my book, Eden For One, I havewritten a fantasy.” Yes, there is no denying John did writea fantasy just a bit like Barrie, and here and there like Cabelland not particularly like anything. But John did it with hisown little pen. and the book is selling. This sort of bookrequires, in its mild fantasy, a genuine invention and anenthralling style and robustious humor. John must havehad the time of his life writing the adventures of PeterLancelot. Although doubt remains whether or not the readerwill have the time of his life reading it, we reiterate the factthat John Gunther did it, and John was once literary editor ofThe Daily Maroon.If John hadn’t had his hero wake up at the end of the bookto discover the whole thing had been a dream we wouldn’thave been irritated. It was too much like Buster Brown andthe soap-bubble city, or the old Theda Bara moving pictures,where the heroine goes through quite astounding escapadesand wakes up to find out she has been sleeping on her back,(Continued on Next Page)A First Issuerr HERE is a great likelihood that we hare missed much o)V!/ the meritorious writing that has been done on the campusthis gear and fallen short of that which we hare set aboutto do.

We hare raked together contributions from ourfriends, requested some of the material from our acquain¬tances, and are offering it in this magazine as an expressionof those few.

Obviously Johnmeans awfully well, but he ain't done right by our BrotherGrimm.A Former Editor of The Daily MaroonSterling North, who conducts a column About Books midPeople in the Weekly Review of The Daily Maroon, recentlyread a copy of Leslie River’s Death of a Young Mom anddevoted his next article to the book. “As a loyal Chicagoan,”said Sterling, “I should write a flattering review, but thereare so many things about the book that bother me I canhardly overlook them all.” Whereupon our columnist goeson to enumerate the shortcomings in Les River’s book. Someare sound and some of them otherwise. “How could thediarist who presumably committed suicide by jumping intothe water off the end of a pier record his emotions as he sankthrough the water?” asks the 1927 Fiske prize winner. Mr.North points that out as one of the “glaring mechanical diffi¬culties” of the novel. But in spite of the criticisms that havefallen upon the book, Simon and Schuster, Mr. River’s pub¬lishers, persist that he is the future Arthur Sehnitzler andintend to follow him up. We hope they do, for Les has aturn of phrase that is as delicate and beautiful as anythingwe have read in a long time. He has referred to his almamater in phrases that we cannot resist quoting. . . , “Thenf teas walking in the street, ami the lamps were lit. / hurriedtoward the University buildings, intent on something. What-was it? There they were, great Gothic stones that tumbledinto he sky. Hard* luminous stars winked with reality. What was it? Bewildered for a moment, I turned out of the campusand up Fifty-eighth Street. When 1 came to Kimbark AvenueI stopped. ...”Sweeping Gestures -But let us turn to George Hill Dillon, w hose book of verse,Boy in the Wind, threatens to run into a second edition. Asidefrom the poem in The 1923 Colli cted Lipve of the Poetry Club,George is among the first in the recent generation to publisha book of poetry. We can remember hearing “Teddy” linnonce say that George was one of forty young Americans ofthese times who wrote verse of merit. We could not help butrecall that statement and associate it with a passage fromone of our young poet’s critics who says; “While his workby no means bears the objectionable stigma of precocity, heis. in spite of himself, an. integral part of the mass of youthfuland ingeneous writers who fill many a journal with facileand competent rhyme* And if the poems were unsigned, anycritic would need at least a hundred guesses as to whetherTom Jones were the author, or Mary Smith—or GeorgeDillon.”But we should not interpret even that criticism as a reflec¬tion of .great discredit upon one who writes with a fine sensi¬tivity, with a touch that is delicate, yet amazingly sure andfirm of texture. He is typical of young poets in that he writeswith sweeping gestures of wind, rain and flame. It is notfashionable, nowadays, to show strong feeling. This fact isreflected in George Dillon’s poetry in the fragility of emotionalwarmth and color; and, instead, a substitute of intellectualsophistication which is a bit shaky upon close analysis.TWO POETS FROM ’ THE FORGE'Of all those who are writing verse on campus these days, jStanley Newman and Sterling North represent the best.

Nolan.Three men from Blue Mounds.Scene: A Wisconsin two-room farm house of the last cen¬tury on the edge of a tamarack swamp. The action takesplace in the largest room of the house toward evening, late inautumn. A fire is burning in the open fire-place and a tallowcandle sputters on the crude table. A chair or two and skinshanging from the low rafters complete the furnishing of thebare room. A storm is rising in the marshes and continuesthroughout the play. The wind whistles about the poorlyprotected cabin. As the curtain rises, Scavilane, a man ofuncertain age and unkempt appearance, is seen loading ashot-gun. lie pours the powderand shot into the barrel andrams them down with profi¬ciency. Except for the heavymovement of the man the stageis in silence. Completing th<?process of loading the gun, hegoes to the window and looksout at the storm, stirs the fireand returns to his seat by thetable. At every noise he starts.Suddenly with evident deter¬mination he pulls open adrawer of the table, removes abook and crude pen and beginswriting laboriously. The dooropens slowly and Scavilanerises to his feet, keeping onehand on the gun beside himNolan, younger and more care¬fully dressed, enters.Scavilane: Oh, it’s you Nol¬an. (He tries to laugh hut tinresult is mirthless.)Nolan: Thought I’d drop inand see how you are gettingon. No harm in a little visit.Scavilane: No- . . . Not.any more.Nolan: I left Dot with heraunt in Blue Mounds. Prettyhard for me to take care of anine year-old in the corn husk¬ing season.Scavilane: You’re findingplenty of people that can takecare of her now the war’s over,ain’t you?Nolan: She was younger then. Carl,months. And they were fighting well on to four years,couldn’t have been over five when it stared.Scavilane (half to himself) :Seven long months. Five inAndersonville and on the road and two up here by this Cod-forsaken marsh.Nolan (changing the coneersation) : They tell me you’rehaving a time with your team. 1 hear they broke loose theother night and ran out across the bog almost to Black Hole-Lucky you didn’t lose them.Scavilane (bitterly) : Every head of stock on the placegone wild. It’s the marsh that gets them. You say thereain’t nothing out there. But you’ve seen lights out here justlike I have. 1 used to say it wasn’t nothing either but I’veseen what I’ve seen.Nolan: Them lights are nothing but rotten stumps, Carl.It’s a man’s mind that gets him, not the marsh. You get tothinking of the things you done, on a dark night, and themarsh will scare you sure enough. by Sterling NorthScavilane (suspiciously) : I ain’t done nothing to make mescared.Nolan: I guess we all have, Carl-Scavilane: But them horses. It ain’t in their minds aboutsomething they done. What makes them kick out the half¬door like it was paper and bust their halter ropes like theywas string? Something wrong when horses do that.Nolan: I heard all about that.(Scavilane looks up startled, as Nolan crosses to the tablefrom the fire where he has been warming his hands andreaches for the book.)Nolan: Do you read, Carl?Scavilane (thrusting it into a drawer, embarrassed) : Notvery much. I ain’t had time to do anthing since 1 got backfrom the war. (Suspiciously)So you knew all about the half¬door being kicked out, did you ?Who was telling you?Nolan: The man whobrought up the new plank.Scavilane (rising and stir¬ring the fire with his boot) :And a prying fellow he was,too. (Turning suddenly onNolan) But he wasn’t as dirtylow as you was, Nolan-Nolan: What do you mean?Scavilane: You know what Imean.Nolan: You wouldn’t believeanything I’d tell you anyhow,Scavilane. so I guess you cancall me anything you like.Scavilane: Yes I would. Tellme, tell me . . . No, keepit to yourself- It wouldn’t benothing but lies.Nolan: I know what youthink. You think I was mak¬ing love to your wife all thetime you were away at war-You think I was letting yourfields go to ruin while you werein the thick of it. Don’t you?Scavilane: Ain’t that aboutright? You was too yellow togo yourself. And too low todo the right thing here athome.Nolan: There was Dot totake care of, remember that.And someone had to take careof the two farms.Scavilane: Yes. and a fine job you did of it. Look at theland, fences down and sumac working into the fields andeverything else ruined.Nolan: I was working the land for all I was worth, Carl,believe it or not. Two farms are too much for one man,that’s all.Scavilane: And how about the drain; that are blocked?The way I had it fixed the marsh would have been all drainedby the time I got home. And now look at it rising higherevery year- The south field so sour you can’t raise a cropof corn and the frost that comes out of the marsh in thespring killing the apple blossoms. No crops at all this yearand the stock gone wild.Nolan: That was Elizabeth. She didn’t want the marshdrained. You should have heard her talk about the marsh.The way the black-birds were singing and the mallards float¬ing on the water.Scavilane: You shouldn’t a listened to her.Nolan: She would go on for an hour about the wild geeseSTERLING NORTH. . . in love with his wife . . .J^ESIDES winning the Fiske Poetry Prize, Sterling Northis married and in love with his wife. Someone sayshe looks like a high school orator, but after readingTamarack we forgot that. He comes to a Universitywhere the verse of his sister, Jessica Nelson North, hasnot been forgotten. “The Forge” is under his guidance.War’s been over sevenShe—Page Three—and the way they would come flying in the fall. She saidshe was going to always be here. Even after she died.Scavilane: Did she tell you that, too?Nolan: She knew all the birds and flowers hereabouts. Sheonly had to plough a field to make the corn twice as heavy. Ican see her now behind the horses. And then she would leavethem in the middle of the field if she saw a new kind of birdfly into the woods.Scavilane: She was crazy like that. She wasn’t like anotherwoman I ever seen. Leave her work and go tearing offthrough the brush. And off to meet you likely enough. That’swhat 1 had for a wife.Nolan: Never once.Scavilane: Grub stumps all day, that’s what I’d do. Andwhat would she say when I got home, “There won’t be noviolets up on the upper pasture when you get it all cleared,will there, Carl?” Violets! And me working like a dogfor her-Nolan: You didn’t understand her, Carl. Those thingsmeant a lot to her.Scavilane: Oh, I know your kind. Didn’t understand her,eh? I understood her and you both. I can see it all plainenough now. You did make love to her, you might as welltell me. I’d just as soon throw your body in Black Hole andsometimes I have a mind to do it. How would you like that,eh? You’d have all you wanted then of your pretty ducks.How would like to be down there tonight with the turtlespulling the rotten flesh off your bones?Nolan: You’re crazy, Carl. The marsh is getting you.Either that or . . .Scavilane: No, I ain’t crazy. There is a lot of things I cansee now. We used to talk about this when we was in prisonat Andersonville. We used to say, “What if our wives ain’tfaithful? What if we go back home and find them with someother fellow?” I said, “There ain’t no danger of my Eliza¬beth doing that, but if she ever did I’d . . .Nolan: What?Scavilane: Wouldn’t you like to know?Nolan: That’s mostly why I came up here tonight. To askabout Elizabeth. You been home almost two months nowand ...Scavilane: She went East, I told you. What else do youneed to know ?Nolan: It doesn’t seem right or natural. The way sheloved this place. And then leaving the same week you camehome from the war.Scavilane {patting the butt of his gun) : I said she wentEast. How about it?Nolan: Oh, all right, have it your own way. But thornmay have been a reason for her going you haven’t thought of.Scavilane: There ain’t any reasons I haven’t thought of . .(Reflectively) I got a drink that morning at the Inn downby the cross road. . . . That first morning. . . . AndI was listening to what a lot of fellows was saying over theirdrinks. Then I came into the yard and she was picking upan armful of wood. . . . Then she went into the housethrough this room into that room there (pointing) rightthrough that door. . . . And when she seen me she droppedthe wood sort of dazed like and I said, “Hello, Elizabeth.” . . .But you haven’t told me about you and her yet. Phat did youdo all the time I was away at war? You were in love, nodoubt about that.Nolan: We had a right to be- What did you ever do tomake her happy? It was work, . . . work, . . .work every day since you married her. All the work aroundthe house, cooking for help at harvest time and then workingin the fields herself. Doing chores by candle light, and mend¬ing your clothes after that. And you didn’t even let herhave her Sundays in peace. She needed someone’s love.Scavilane (rising) : So you admit it . . . You damneddog.Nolan: I said we had a right to love. But we didn’t takeadvantage of it. That’s what I blame myself for. AndElizabeth was faithful to you all the time you were away.She used to say, “He’ll be coming back one of these days. Wewant to have the farm looking nice for him ”Scavilane: Did she say that?Nolan: And I’ll tell you, Carl, there are a lot of us don’tthink she went East at all. Scavilane (not listening): And 1 says to her. “Look at thefarm, how it is run down. And you making love to that goodfor nothing. Look at the apple orchard dying and the chinksall out from between the logs in the barn. Nohing but thelilac trees and roses you planted look like they was takencare of at all. You seen how the rats left the place like they $■would a sinking ship. Up on the ridge beyond the orchardlast night. You seen them pass between us and the moon,eyes glowing like little green coals. Just like rats used tocome in through the windows at Andersonville at night.”Nolan: Carl, you’re as crazy as a loon- The marsh isgetting you all right. It’s twisting your mind.Scavilane: But you can’t fool me with your pretty words.I know how you was going on. It’s you that has done for me.j You and this marsh. We’ll all sleep together in Black Hole.| There’s others has gone down out there.Nolan (shaking the other’s shoulder) : Good night, Carl(He crosses the room cither by accident or design, starts toenter the door leading to the other room of the house insteadof the door in the same corner leading out of doors.)Scavilane: Not in there, damn you, not in there.Nolan: You didn’t • . . No, I won’t believe it. Atleast not in the room where you slept together for ten years.But if you did . . . (The threat remains unfinished. . . .He hurries through the door into the windy night.)Scavilane: And so she'll be here always, will she? No useof the gun then when it comes again. It’s the kind of nightit always comes ... I killed the dog- The way he wouldgrowl and his hair stand on end. I can only tell now by theway the candle sputters and the way the fire acts. Andmaybe she didn’t do nothing after all. No, I guess she didn’t,or she wouldn’t have looked at me that way. It’s pretty badto be thinking of that up here alone for twenty years. Buck¬shot ... it would seem funny if they found my gunloaded with that. You don’t use buckshot for ducks. AndNolan thinks she has gone East, does he? The dirty . . .All the fields gone sour and the orchard dying. . . . That’swhat I get for clearing the land and working harder thanany man in the country. And Elizabeth said, “But you didgive me such a start. I am glad to see you back, you knowI am.” And she left the little armful of wood on the floorwhere it fell. But the marsh will get a man.(The door blows open and Scavilane rises to his feet andpulls the gun part way to his shoulder, then lets it dropagain with a shudder. Nothing but wind enters.)I’ll follow her to hell. (He tumbles out into the darkness.)(For a few seconds the stage is empty. The wind and rainblow through the door. The tire sputters and the candlebehaves in a crazy manner. Three men enter. They aredressed in hunting clothes and carry guns. They have evi¬dently just come from the marsh.)First: We won’t be so easy as some might be. I’d like tostring him up myself. People ain’t so easy since the war.Second: He’s in here somewhere, the candle’s burning.(Entering the smaller room,) Hey, bring a light! (They allcrowd into the room off stage but return after a few seconds.)First: That’s the place, all right, but he’s got away clean.Second: It was Elizabeth all right. Probably thought noone would ever find her, throwing her in Black Hole the wayhe did.Third: Must have been in there a couple of months. Theturtles had been at her all right.First: We would have gone down ourselves if we had triedto get the body.Third: Let’s try to find the knife. Her throat was wideopen. (They search the bare room.)

All except the woman part and thehappy ending. All. Except the woman part.” The speaker’svoice trailed off, not unhappily, just musingly.If it had happened fifty years ago, instead of five, thepicture would be just as real and as plain as it is right now-I suppose I shall always remember that scene. It was theinterior of the jail at LaJunta, a railroad town in southeasternColorado, and the bars that blurred the dead July midnightbelonged to an iron door that was locked from the outside.If it was prisoners you’d be counting, there were nine of ussprawled on the stone floor of the large “reception” cell, offof which individual cells opened, untenanted.Seven of this crew on whom man’s grim justice had frownedwere dyed in vagrancy’s wool.They might have come into theworld clutching the under-sideof an A., T. & S. F. freight car,and would certainly, I decided,go out that way. Harder (be¬cause they were human) thanany nail, and dirtier. Hard“army” shoes, hard, shinyoveralls, hard, spiny beards,hard jaws hard eyes. Hardfrom head to foot—unless youtook in the shapeless felt hats,that flopped around but nevercame off.The eighth member of theparty was the man whose storywas like one out of a book. Hewas as hard as the rest ofthem, except his eyes—whichwere soft, like mine. Theyreally were soft. Heavy brown—like mine. As he sat at rightangles to me, his back againstthe cell’s stone wall, he didn’tlook any more like a hobo thanhe looked like a man whosestory was like one out of abook. Now that five yearshave passed, I sometimes won¬der if it wasn’t the spirit ofthe night that made his storyepic. I wonder if it was sucha good story after all.“I don’t suppose anyone re¬members my first name, orcares about it. It’s Frederick.I was the youngest of five kids.We were the only Germanfamily, as far as I knew, in Gallup—New Mexico, you know.My old man was assistant station master in the Santa Feyards- It was a good job—mmm—a thousand a year. Andin 1900. But there were seven brats, all of us too young towork, four girls. And we had a tough go of it, on accountof the Poles and wops and Mex not taking any particularliking to a family named Deutsch.”Our seven mates were disporting themselves in a whole¬some fashion, spitting tobacco at marked spots of a woman’sfigure that one of them had scratched on the wall with asharp stone. This, I told myself, was no company for a sober-minded man (or boy. I guess I was a boy.). And so I leftthe sharpshooters to their jollity and bent my childish atten¬tion on the man whose story was like one out of a book- Hewas Teutonic for his fresh complexion and yellow hair, Celticfor his rich brown eyes, and Anglo-Saxon for his long, poisedframe. He was all right to look at — just another fellow,the kind of man that clothes make. He had shaved morerecently than his friends (if they were his friends: I didn’t know; I had awakened from a dream of peace to find them,all eight my room mates), and his beard was softer. You feltthat underneath the regulation blue overalls was a shirt thatwas clean, if not white. My man, I knew right off the bat.had not been born to the hobo’s purple.“. . . the bung-hole of creation. That’s what Gallupwas. Still is. If it was anything else, it wouldn’t be Gallup.By God, there is the melting pot. The scum of the universe—from Chink to Assyrian to every shade of nigger. They runthe town. There are a gang of white bums who are too proudto work alongside the Mex and too lazy and ignorant to dobetter. So they live off the town. If they’d clear out, Gallupwouldn’t be the lousy, dirty place it is. I cleared out. Butthey won’t. And the fellows own the town. They —they didthis to me . . .”The man did have a story.Or at least what seemed to hima story. The tobacco-spoutingmarksmen faded, and theirhoarse laugh and rough, infre¬quent phrases were just far¬away thuds.

From ninthgrade up, high school, it was a good lot, sons and daughtersof workingmen who wanted their kids to do better than theyhad done, and the few swells whose parents wouln’t let themgo away from home.“When I was seven, in first grade, I sat across the aisle fromBetty Davis. She had been brought up not to notice ‘mykind,’ and she had been brought up well.

I didn’fhave any place to go, so I lived in an old shack about fifteenmiles south of Gallup, where an old Indian town, namedManuelito by the Mex and finally deserted by everybody, hadstood. It didn’t even occur to me that no one knew where Iwas and that no one cared.“By the end of August my life was as dried up as the bedof the Rio Puerco outside my shack.

And the manhuddled into almost a heap now—the man whose story waslike one out of a book—was just a man. I don’t know whythe story ended there, for me. But it did.Apparently the narrator, too, felt that the spell had beenbroken- His voice became firm. “I got up, and walked away.When 1 came back, at dawn she was gone. 1 had done whatwas right and what was best. I had no love in me. My hearthad dried up with my dreams. 1 was another native ofGallup, New Mexico, that was no good.”The bars of the iron door moved across the cell in shadow,and it was another gray day.

BenderMax Rosen stopped writing, pushed the paper and pencilfrom him and tilted the swivel-chair back to a comfortableangle- He glanced appraisingly around the meagre littleoffice, with its plain desk and chairs, and allowed himself atiny smile of self-satisfaction. His mood mellowed as hetoyed with the knowledge that, at twenty-six, he was finan¬cially secure and the master of his own business establish¬ment. The office and desk, simple as they were, were thesymbols of his achievement—the realization of a cherishedideal.He rose from the desk, walked to the door of the officeand stepped out into a small, narrow dry-goods store. Fromthe street entrance to the back, where his own office waslocated, it was lined with low counters. The walls were cov¬ered, almost to the ceiling, withdeep shelves. As Max walkedtowards the front of the store,fingering the goods on thecounters as he passed, he sawhis name on the front window.He read it, backwards, throughthe glass—“Max Rosen, DryGoods and Notions” — thecurved letters of the sign swell¬ing his sense of ownership.His mood deepened and hestood there, literally absorbingthe atmosphere of the place.He saw none of the dinginessand mustiness of a cheap shop—only his own possessions.At last he turned and walkedslowly back toward his cubby¬hole- He closed the door re¬luctantly, as though he dislikedto shut himself out from thestore. He sat down before hisdesk and relaxed.Sitting there in the failinglight, he let his thoughts ram¬ble in review of his life, seeingall the events that had led upto this, his first day as ownerof his own business. He caughthimself wondering why he didnot consider the bright pros¬pects of the future rather thanthe unhappiness of the past,but soon he allowed a feelingof inertia to overcome his quiz-ical attitude and gave himselfover to retrospection.* * *Rosen’s parents were sturdy, hard-working, illiterate Ger¬man Jews, who had come, late in the sixties, from thehinterlands north of Berlin, to settle in Chicago. There thefather had found a home for his wife and had gone to workin the steady, plodding way that characterized his people.He had managed, somehow, to make enough to give his wifea decent home, but the fire of ’71 had wiped out all his work.And so, when Max was born, in 187ff, the Rosens were livingin a little two-room shack on West Monroe Street.Max. one of a brood of five, was on the streets from thetime he was four years old. A dirty, sullen little fellow, hehad not taken to the life of the gamin as well as his brothershad- Something in his make-up gave him an inherent dislikefor his people and his surroundings—a distaste for his lotwhich showed itself even in his childhood. As a result, hewas brooding and disagreeable and unpopular with his family.At nine he left school to sell papers. He felt this to be,in some sense, a freedom from the irksomeness of his homelife, although he disliked leaving school. But necessity, the spectre which always haunted him and his kind, made thestep imperative.The life of a newsboy in the Loop made a man of whathad been a child. Always precocious, the enforced alertnessand watchfulness which self-protection involved, awoke Maxto a full realization of his position. With each passing yearhe came to dislike, more and more, the smelly, paltry placethat he called home; each step toward maturity increasedhis passion to become financially independent—to be able toleave that home . At twelve, when he stopped selling papers,he saw in his father all that he disliked--a man frustratedin his ambitions and haunted by the shadow of imminentpoverty. In his mother he saw only a drudge, forced tomanual labor in order to keep together a semblance of a homefor her family. Already Maxrealized that his only chanceto avoid the same sort of lifelay in piling up money—tomake himself independentenough to be able to leavehome.His latent desires, togetherwith his natural shrewdness,carried him along. From histwelfth to his sixteenth yearhe was a messenger boy for acity bank. Every penny homade he saved. The one thingfor which he thanked hisfamily was, that they gavehim food and a place to sleep.At his work he was indefa-tiguable, always driven on bythose living examples of all hehoped to avoid being. ! e setmoney up as a thing to be idol¬ized, for it represented, to him,his means of salvation. Hetried to study a bit, but foundthat he could center his inter¬ests on only one thing—free¬dom.One night, when he was six¬teen, he stopped at a smalldry-goods store, which wasnear his home. He persuadedthe old wvner of the place togive him a job. He struck abargain with him, not only forhis pay, but that he shouldhave a place to sleep in thestore, as well. He went home,gathered up what few things were his, said good-bye to hismother, and went back to the store to sleep. As he lay downto rest he congratulated himself.Being on the West Side, the dry-goods store missed mostof the great Vavu of prosperity that came with the World’sFair. Max, now twenty years old, was invaluable to oldBaum, the owner of the store- Living at little or no expense,he saved practically all of the money Baum paid him. Hisincreasing ability had brought several raises in salary, whichsimply helped to add to this already overwhelming mania formoney. Although relieved of his own, hateful life at home.Max still remained under the influence of the impressions hehad formed there. He was, at this time, an unhandsome,egocentric young man totally devoid of charm, and avidlypursuing a desire which he now knew to be well withinmeans of attainment.In ’99 old Baum decided to sell out his store. When hetold Max the young man did some rapid calculating. Thenext day he went downtown to the First National Bank. Thatnight he said to Baum, “I’ll buy your store.”GHZit ROBERT J. BENDER. . . peering into odd corners . . .OB” BENDER is the direct antithesis of the man heportrays in Max Rosen. In fact ycu can’t quiteimagine Bob writing such a sombre, plodding tale as theone he turned over to us for this issue. When he told ushe was working off campus writing ‘‘Christmas verses” welaughed, as one will. Between carols he attends classes.—Page Seven—Now, the curving letters on the window read, “Max Rosen,Dry Goods and Notions.”* * *The office was pitch black. Rosen rose, stretched himselfand reached for his hat and coat- He walked through thedark store and let himself out. As he walked away towardthe Loop he could not resist the desire to look back at thesign again. That feeling of self-satisfaction and well-beingstole over him once more. Well, the past was gone, thefuture held much—much money. Supper was the thing now.2Alice Newmarck was born at noon, November 1, 1882.That night her father spent his last money to buy champagneto celebrate the birth of his daughter. He felt very proudof the fact that he was affluent enough to toast the new arrivalwith champagne. The next morning he was out looking fora job.Simon Newmarck was a large, over-fat, jovial fellow, com¬pletely unimpressed by his responsibilities. Indifferent tosuccess or failure, he took life as he found it—rather anamusing affair. His wife’s never-ending pressure upon himkept him at work, although he never managed to stay longat any one occupation. A partially educated man, he foundthe temptations of self-indulgence too great to cope with, buthe managed, in spite of his weakness of will, to make asporadic livelihood.Simon Newmarck was married to a rather remarkablewoman. This woman. Rose, found that the one unanswerablequestion which confronted her was an explanation of hermarriage to Simon. She herself, after five years of marriedlife, could not understand how that had happened. She wasof fine family, well educated, and owner of some small prop¬erty in her own right, which she had determined her husbandshould never touch. Vital, intelligent, a bit domineering, shewas a doer, a person of action and ideas, happy only whenin the throes of accomplishment. At the time of Alice’sbirth she was beginning to realize fully that her husbandwas a ne’er-do-well. She felt satisfied, though, that, in spiteof the fact that she and her family were forced to live inboarding houses there would, at any rate, be some smallamount to safeguard her daughter’s future security. But herearly life made the atmosphere of a boarding house distastefulto her.In this air of genteel poverty, dominated by the drivingforce of her mother s will and coddled by the jovial indolenceof her father, Alice Newmarck grew up. She was educatedat the public schools and showed some superficial alertnessof mind. She admired her mother and tried to imitate herbut instead of achieving that deepness of will which markedher mother’s personality, she developed a shallow, insinceredisplay of outward mannerisms. She passed as clever, evenbelieving, herself, that she was quite out of the ordinaryBut as years passed she became an affected girl, interestedonly in appearances.At sixteen Alice was only in her second year of high schoolShe had altered the spelling of her name to Alys, and hadeven approached her father in an effort to change the familyname to Newmarque. When her mother heard this she wasfurious. She saw all the superficialities of Simon’s characterreappearing in her daughter. But while the girl was anaffected, thoughtless, self-centered creature, she had inheritedfrom her mother a fundamental equality of breeding andgood taste. Rose was deeply grieved that her child did notshow a greater intellectual capacity. She felt that Alys didnot uphold the tradition of her mother’s people.In the spring of 1901, when Alys finally completed her highschool course, her father was out of work and in poor health.Rose, at the time, was interested in the women’s suffragmovement, which was just gathering its full force, and foundno time for a daughter who had nothing with which to occup;herself. And so it was decided that Alys should go to wortAlys’ affectation prompted her to object to this. Girlslike herself, she said, did not work for a living. Rose stoppedthe discussion by asking why her daughter felt that she wasbetter than any other girl. Besides, it was quite proper,now-a-days, for young ladies to work. Alys began to readthe want ads.Ostentatiously, Alys went about the Loop looking for aposition. But. although she made a great show of effort,—Page she did not really try very hard to find work. In her heartshe felt that if she could procrastinate for a while, her motherwould forget the whole affair and would allow her to actthe part of a young lady of affluence- But she did not reallyknow her mother, nor the force of her will. Rose kept afterher daughter with that same indomitable, ceaseless insistencewith which she had kept Simon at work for more than twentyyears. She found Alys even more flexible than Simon hadbeen. for. while he had been merely indiffernt to responsi¬bilities, the girl was entirely without moral stamina.Finally, Alys came home with news. She had a job. Shewas to work for a Mr. Rosen. Yes, he was a very nice man—not very old. He had a small store in West Clark Street.No. it wasn’t a very large store, but he had said that thebusiness was growing. She was sorry that Mr- Rosen wasn’tbetter looking. She had so hoped that she would have a good-looking employer.The meagerness of her report about her position and thesilly attitude she adopted toward Rosen exasperated Rose.She tried to make her daughter see that she was workingalmost from necessity. But Alys remained superficial, takinga rather condescending, sneering manner toward her work.Finally Rose gave in, refusing to do more than see to itthat her daughter went to work regularly and on time eachmorning.Alys was not unhappy at work, in spite of the fuss she hadmade over the idea. The girls she had lunch with were quitenice, after all.3The calendar on the wall read, February 1, 1904.Max Rosen mentally compared this new office with hisfirst one, in the old store on West Madison Street. The old,flamboyant feeling of self-satisfaction engulfed him again.He was making money now, and the office showed it withits plain, but obviously good, furniture. He rememberedthe lawdriness of his first store, and how much larger thesecond one on Clark street had seemed. But now the busi¬ness was really on its feet, and these newest quarters, at Clarkand Madison, ough to accommodate all four departments.Entering his sixth year of business, Max felt that he hadmade something of a success of it. The bogey of his homelife was no longer so vividly predominant in his mind, butthe fundamental fear that he might be overtaken again bythe same sort of existence increased his old lust for money.He saw everything—men, women, possessions—everything,as representing just so much cash value. His native shrewd¬ness had increased, making him a keen man with whom todo business. But he was scrupulously honest. The thoughtof dishonesty in business was as remote from his mind as thedesire for money was ever present.Thirty-three years old. financially solid, and seeing hisdreams come true before his eyes, Max was still as lackingin charm as he had been at sixteen. His mind had been tooobsessed with his ambitions to permit the cultivation of per¬sonality. He was plain in appearance and thought, an almostpuritanical simplicity guiding his life. But he was hard, inmind and action—a man petrified by his own ambitions.Max sat in his new office, toying with the idea of his successlike a baby with a lolipop. This was the anniversary of hisentrance into business. He had a growing organization;had good standing with his bank. He gloated over the thoughtof it all. His egotism made him proud that he had done itall by himself—that he had pulled himself up by his ownbootstraps. But most of all, he rejoiced in the fact that hehad given himself nothing but his actual necessities. All hisprofits had gone back into the business.He felt strong, capable, masterful. He craved difficulties,that he might show himself and the world just what he coulddo. He wanted to dominate—to stand head and shouldersabove the rest of the world. He knew he could do it. Hisconfidence fed upon his success. Max Rosen felt powerful.But, for all his exaltation at the thought of his financialsuccess, he felt the need of another element in his life. HisGerman Jewish heritage demanded a family, and now, at last,Max knew that he was independent enough to give his lifemore time than his work. He wanted to marry, not becauseof the social benefits which marriage might bring about—he never thought of that—but because it was a part of him,(Continued on Page Thirteen)Eight—MOTH-BITTEN ERMINEBy George MorgensternThe appearance of “UnderworldBen Hecht's movie onChicago gang life, has partially answered George Morgen-stern's question as to the literary whereabouts of Chicago'sone-time pride and joy. The cinema, however, is not quite sofinal an answer as one might leant, and we sit with the authorof this article, waiting for Hecht to come forward and declarehimself a bit more decisively—say, with a novel.The little toy dog is covered with dust,But sturdy and stanch he stands;And the little toy soldier is red with rust,And his musket molds in his hands.Time was when the little toy dog was newAnd the soldier was passing fair;And that was the timewhen our littleBoy BlueKissed them andput them there.* * *Ben Hecht, Chicago’s ownLittle Boy Blue, hasn’t kissedany and put them on sale inBoston for three years now.He who was the last hope of“literary” Chicago, the brightboy and pride of the self-styleddecadents in Schlogl’s Restau¬rant, has died — and worse,gone off to New York and leftthe old town flat. It’s the wayof all the Chicago literaryhorseflesh. One by one theyhave folded their purple tents(some of them unconvincinglydyed with Kit) and gone withthe winds. Behind them, inthe windy sweeps of WellsStreet, they have left only thememory of the good old days,which weren’t so awfully good,after all-Hecht was the last of thelong line that made tracks forNew York. Chicago served itspurpose for this brilliant, lazy,psychopathic Jew, as it hadserved its purpose for manyothers. It is a fertile field fora writer who may be coming,but is not yet up. Its liter¬ary heyday was over around1913, but the citizens couldn’tbe convinced of that. They clung to their belief |that the “hog-butcher to the world” was still the Capital 'of American Letters (if any). They were perpetually onthe lookout for obscure geniuses—there were no knownones. So every haggard young lad with the right look abouthim and a bundle of manuscript under his arm who turnedup was wined and dined and taken to the publishers, insteadof the cleaners, by one of the city’s patrons. After that,nothing at all usually happened. The angels scratched theirheads and guessed that there weren’t any geniuses floatingaround the streets, after all. Everybody else had known itfor lo. these many years.Into this arid but eager territory came Ben Hecht, a manwithout a mission, but one who saw that it would be profit¬able to get himself one. Hecht blew in on the friendly windabout 1919, at that in-between age of men of letters whenthey should have done something, but hadn’t. He was abouttwenty-six, with cleverness, facileness and a gift for words—traits that many of his race have and hold. Behind himGEORGE MORGENSTERNhe soured on the world .|*I-I NG the sage of two halls and a fraternity house is adisconcerting job for George Mergenstern. He is ac¬cused of being mysogynistically aloof. It is said he souredon the wcrld a long, long time ago. But somehow we don’tthink that’s true. George walked into the limelight someyears back when he introduced his famous Maroon column,“What of It.” Now he edits The Phoenix.there was not much: birth in New York City, long years ofobscure youth, a diploma from the Racine (Wis.) High School,and then more obscurity. Before him there was—well (mightnot Hecht have thought?) everything.He got a job on the Daily News, reporting. He was a news¬paper man by nature; some few are that way. Brilliant anduseless, with a flair for spotting color in even a dust man’scollectings (his prying eye went into places lower and cheapermany times), and a slant on life that made everything noveland vital and curious, he set to work. People began to noticehim in the newspaper columns. He became on a level ofpopularity with Genevieve Forbes, the Tribune’s lady murderexpert, and James O’Donnell Bennett, who was thought bythe townspeople to be up there with William Dean Howells,Louisa May Alcott and HenryWadsworth Longfellow whenit came to hitting the epic note.At this opportune moment,Hecht reached into his magi¬cian’s top-hat and came upwith Eric Dorn, the first of hisnovels, and in some ways thebest. In it he showed his pe¬culiar characteristics. Words. . . words . . . words—how the man juggled them,what a gaudy delight they heldfor him! His writing mayhave been careless in sports,but it never was banal, and itwas nearly always amusing.The unnatural, distorted, psy¬chopathic Hecht made his ap¬pearance, too. There werepages and pages of analysis—of Dorn’s wife, of all hisfrends, of life, of the manhimself as his mind cooly ap¬praised him. Cold and moodyand egocentric, Eric walkedthrough four hundred pages.Like the poetry of AlexanderI'ope, which we were told inhigh school held none of thewarmer sympathies of the hu¬man heart, Eric Dorn was acreation apart from the smallheartiness of middle class folk-He was an inhuman fellow—no one, no thing ever “got” tchim. He had innumerable loveaffairs without love: he likedto analyze them. When he didplunge for the German Rebecca, it was not because she*as ahuman being appealed to him, but because her conception ofhim aroused his sympathy and his interest. He figured in aContinental revolution, and even the revolution was not areal and human thing, with severed heads and running blood,like what we were brought up to look for. Like Dorn (butmore like Hecht), it was cold and weird and not a littleremote.The book got over big, as the uninformed put it. It soldwell and the final touch was achieved when the Messrs. Boniand Liveright added another title to their upstage ModernLibrary series. There was dancing in the streets in Chicago.One of the home town boys—New York and Racine were for¬gotten—had come through. From then on, Hecht was thechoicest feather in the municipal cap, that had so few otherfeathers in it-Gargoyles next appeared, in 1921, a year after Eric Dorn.It was put out, quite obviously, to catch the public fancy whileits interest in Hecht was still on the rise. Schoolgirls whis--Page Nine-pered to each other over its pages and emitted little giggles;the stenographers found something better than Chickie (ap¬pearing then in the Chicago American) to while away thehour ride back to Wilson Avenue. It was, baldly, a pandernovel, designed to satisfy the prurient fancies of mankind.There is no reason to believe that it did not make Hechtmoney.Fantazius Mallare was thrown off, after an alluring pros¬pectus indicating the trend of Wallace Smith’s illustrations, |in a limited edition the same year. Hecht and devil-worship¬ers (and suckers of the garden variety) paid their twentydollars and took the book home to brood over it in the seclusionof the bedroom. Wild and even more psychopathic than inhis other productions, Hecht succeeded in setting down onpaper two hundred pages of throbbing hysteria. The bookprobably is a sure indication of his attitude on sex life. Itis an attitude that only a hundred or so abnormals in a cityof three million could have. One cannot bear the reading ofthe book—but, being humanly cheap, he does, and rushesalong to the bitter end- Then, with a bunch of jumpingnerves raw as a piece of roundsteak, he kicks a flowerpotoff the sill and finds the crash on the sidewalk four storiesbelow reassuring to his mental condition.Count Bruga. utterly mad and a sarcasm from beginningto end, was sandwiched in during the two years that followedbetween Fantazius’ sequel, The Kingdom of Evil, The Floren¬tine Dagger, and Hecht’s one play. The Egotist. The King¬dom of Eril was much on the order of Fantazius—anotherlimited edition, another case of bottled in bond pathologybut a better book than its predecessor. The police rushedin with unsheathed clubs, as they had in the appearance ofFantazius. and, on the whole, stimulated public interest andhelped sales. The Florentine Dagger was simply all Hechtonce again. Impossible, amusing, wavering along its unsurepath like an inexperienced tight rope walker, it man¬aged to work itself out into some sort of ending. Nobodyremembers how it turned out now. Like much of Hecht’sstuff, it did for the moment quite well, but it was set downas glittering and superficially weak and of not very muchaccount.Count Bruga was the best of the batch that were publishedin ’23 and ’24- It had no particular plot, but as writing itwas Hecht at his best. If you happened to like mad, impossi¬ble things, Count Bruga was as funny as a book might beThe fable was deliberately artificial. True, it was logicallyso. If you could accept the initial postulates in the story,everything would have been normal, if insanely normal. But,of course, you couldn’t. That didn’t detract from the meritof the book: the essential point about the story was that itwas obviously not so, that patently it could never have hap¬pened. Hecht does not let that bother him, and neither doesthe reader. Hecht gets so much gusto into the writing ofit, and adorns it with so many flashes of insight into motiveand character, that the impossible, towards the end, takeson a sort of possibility. Its people, however, fantastic intheir acts always keep their feet on the ground.One not only comes to believe in the preposterous CountHippolyt Bruga. alias Jules Ganz, who spent his life gettingthrown out of places for remarks to ladies that they eitherfelt .complimented by, while their escorts did not, or feltinsulted by, along with their escorts; but one also comes tobelieve in McTavish, the police lieutenant (Hecht’s policemenin Count Bruga are the most merrily mad creations underGod’s great, round sun), in the sorcerer Panini, and evenIn the libidinous Mrs. Antonica Rodenja. The whole bookis, perhaps unconsciously, satire on the race of men and onall things. Some say, also, that it is a lampoon on a livingAmerican poet. If so it should cause him to be remembered, jThe best of Hecht, to me, is in the Thousand and One After¬noons, published one a day in the News, and subsequentlyjammed between the covers of a book. Here Hecht is himself,without having to think about the conventions and restric¬tions of the novel form, which he probably never thoughtmuch about anyway. The Afternoons are just journalism,*and newspaper writing as good as we are likely to see inlong years. Hecht was, as I have said, by nature a journalist.He carried a notebook, and when he spied a situation or acharacter, or got an idea or conceived a phrase, down it went. ' Afterwards, he wove whatever he had loosely around littleor no connected plot and published another novel. In theAfternoons he simply published the stuff as he came on it,and his material took the form of sketches—the form nat¬ural to it.In his introductory column in the News, Hecht hit thekeynote of all his writings. “People and streets are a gener¬ality for Time to play with,” he wrote, “and their dramaI belongs to the text books of the geologists- But the solitudesthey inhabit—the little circles of dreams and emotions thatsometimes solidify for a moment in the newspaper headlines,the novelist’s pages or the poet’s stanzas—these hold a thingthat never quite gets printed and never quite is known—the endlessly untold story that a glib phrase maker long agoidentified as the mystery of life. About this untold storythere is nothing confusing except its immortal hiding place—the crowds, ft is always the same and always incomplete—the story of the solitudes that swarm in the streets, eachof them a world center around which the poetry and melo¬drama of life revolve. This is no fictioner who salutes you.Instead, a reporter who makes no pretense to invention, andwhose job is to cover the untold story. A Thousand and OneAfternoons is a continued tale that will concern itself notwith the puppets of fantasy, but with the more interestingmarionettes of reality. The city is a story waiting con¬tinually to be told, and this is as true today as it was inthe days of Tyre. The city is a magic dice box shaking outnew combinations of romance, mystery and adventure. Thecity is a scribble of stories whose secrets are buried only inthe whirls and spirals of crowds.”So, the appeal of the Afternoons was in their genuineness.It was the life. It was cheap and noble and funny andtragic and dull, and, by some miracle, it was got down onpaper. Sometimes the story was daubed on with crude pig¬ments; at other times the tinting was exquisite and fine.That depended on what the story was. Hecht’s handling oflife, as it showed itself to him in a thousand incidents, rawor refined, was masterly and sure. The Thousand and OneAfternoons was his best writing.What has become of him now? New York, they say, hasswallowed him. Like many another, he got his start in thehinterland, and then left for the metropolis to accomplishhigher and better things. Apparently he has accomplishednothing since the hegira, three years ago. He was on theragged edge when he packed out, tired of playing with theclever, smart-alecky Chicago Literary Times that he hadfounded. Maybe he felt the need of a rest- Maybe he wastired with his hollow brilliance. Possibly he recognized thatthe apex had been passed, and that his brightest day wasdone. He came opportunely, in the erratic, fidgety post-waryears, and his own erratic style of word phrasing and storyweaving fitted in beautifully with the current mood. By 11)2-1that mood was decidedly on the wane. How Hecht wouldbe received now—he who was dandled on the public kneein the older time and who licked the striped candy of popularesteem—if he were to bring out something once more, itwould be interesting to see. There is talk of a fall novel.Do words, which knew Hecht so well, with the rest of us—“. . . wonder, as waiting the long years throughIn the dust of the little chair,What has become of our Little Boy Blue,Since lie kissed them and put them there?”BERTHA TEN EYCK JAMESThe following poem w ill appear in Miss James' newly pub¬lished volume of verso, entitled Sine Dragons.

My first impression of this Serious Institution ofLearning was the lethargic condition of the students whowere lying on the grass of Sleepy Hollow. One evening inthe early part of the quarter the students were invited tomeet the president of the University, the late E. D. Burton.This dignified gentleman informed us, as he stood on thesteps of Ida Noyes, that aside from the fact that we werewelcome, we should bear in mind that the University is nota summer resort, but an institution of learning. We stoodthere and listened without being alarmed in the least, forwe knew better.Mellow Days ....One quarter passed without anything having happened.Now I look back and seeold Classics 20, as being themost interesting spot in thewhole school. The then radicalgroup of the student bodywould gather around, amidstheavy smoke, and discuss withmuch fervor different topics ofthe day, beginning with theLepold and Loeb case and ending with a brand new mani¬festo upon some “originaltheory of sex.” I, after allthese months of scholastic as¬similation. still remember suchnames as Wilde, Freund, Pe-tronius, and others, who havebeen championed by publishersof the caliber of Haldeman-Julius and Pascal Covic. Thereyouthful aspirants of the orderof Oratory labeled themselvesas “free thinkers.” This trademark is still a mystery to me.Why they chose such a pre¬sumptuous title I as yet cannotdiscover.A Dean in a University likeours is a man who gets paidfor telling you how stupid youare when you are failing inyour courses. He performs histask very seriously and witha lot of facetiousness. He in¬vites you up in his office, offersyou a chair and begins. Youlisten to the wise words, but ifyou are wiser than he is youagree with him. As a result,you are thrown in a class where literature of a religious kindis being taught. There you hear something about God andhis literary masterpieces, but for the first two weeks only!For the remainder of the quarter you are exposed to “wisecracks,” which come from the mouth of a man who by allmeans is not a humorist. The final grade is satisfactoryif you have happened to agree with the lecturer’s views, orhave gone to sleep. I, having settled my difficulties with theDean, deemed it wise to repeat such a course so as to get faraway from the danger line. I entered another course of thesame nature, whose title I do not recollect, but which hadsomething to do with religion in general. I slept in classwhenever I deemed it as being more polite than walking out,and waited for the finals. Sure as death they arrived! Oneof the serious questions that were asked was: “What haveyou to suggest in the form of a system whereby the moralstandards of the student body can be raised?” I placed aquestion mark under it and handed in the paper rather quietly.When I came out some students informed me that they wantedNICKOLAS JOHN MATSOUKAS. . . prejudiced against the ethical . . .“^ICK” lives on the near north side with Pagolis, theartist, in a studio where doves fly about the eaves andalarm clocks are taboo. Although he thinks a good revolu¬tion is the only thing that will save America, he seems tofind plenty of color in its present moribund state. Ethicsand morals are Nick’s pet prejudices, and he will be gladto tell you about it. College profs are frozen idols hesays to suggest the following ideas, but did not have enough nerve:licensed gambling, more bootleggers, and religious revivals.They were the suggestions that w’ould have been made ifthe students had not been looking for a grade.As for Biblical Literature ....Courses of a religious nature are as a rule humorous. Butwhat about our School of Education? If one visits or actuallyattempts to take any lessons in Education, he will be con¬vinced that there are people in the Twentieth century who"cannot but spend most of their time talking about things thatare obvious in themselves. To these people all obvious mat¬ters require scientific research in order that they may besolved. In one class the instructor spent one full hourtelling us we would fire the furnace if the janitor hasbeen accidentally taken ill andno other person in the vicinityis capable of performing thetask. Such foolish discussionsdo oftentimes take place- How¬ever, it is far more humorousto observe that some of theseinstructors will, with muchpride, admit that they havedelivered some message beforea Rotary or a Kiwanis gath¬ering. either in Hyde Park orsome other intellectual center.These theories of life in gen¬eral are embodied in whatDean T. V. Smith would call“the democratic way of life.”Democracy, a political organ¬ization that has been glorifiedby such men as Washington,Lincoln, and Bill Thompson,offers them food for thought.They are ready at a mo¬ment’s notice to defend itsprinciples yet on the otherhand refuse to sign a protestpetition in the Sacco and Van-zetti case. But let us not bevery critical. Why attemptto knock something that shouldonly be observed, and at thesame time hoped for, wrhensome day this particular de¬partment will offer no coursesto regular students but only tosummer invaders.The Main AdvantageThe main advantage of theUniversity of Chicago is thatan opportunity is offered to the young student who seeks a“Liberal Education,” to become bored in a variety of ways.If one department is not successful in making you disgusted,you may join another one very easily. You ma^' do whatmost of us do—take up literature! Could there be anythingelse more uplifting and inspiring than the accumulation ofliterary knowledge in terms of birth and death dates l Youwill be an intellectual giant when you get to know that thisauthor liked that kind of food and that Mr. B. was a slaveto master J. However, if you are desirous of indulging inthe literary technique you may write a paper on such a sub¬ject as “Caesar’s Homosexuality.” But you must bear inmind, that all the training that you get in the Department ofLiterature is a “background.” for some future activity. Whoknows? Some day you may be able to write for the “Hot Dog’or some other literary publication.The Literature Department ....The Literary Department in our Alma Mater is menacedby great “scholars” who are authorities on their respective&tu%—Page Eleven-Dered to each nthor ovpr It'S nanroa orwtfields. Of course they are somewhat eccentric, but that isjustified, for it gives the impression, as one student had toldme, of being “Glorified Frank Cranes.” In their lectures onehas much knowledge to acquire. For example, if you aspireto becoming a critic you shouldn’t, by all means, be an icono¬clast. Your criticism should be impersonal, as though youhave no feelings. You should never become destructive ifyou cannot rebuild. If Mr. A. has written a “punkish” pieceof work you should not express yourself in such terms. Youshould say that “such a piece of work would have been a muchsuperior opera if author B. had written it!” This methodof criticising literature is what is known as the “compara¬tive method.” |Literature is somewhat superficial at times. In order that jyou may become a serious thinker you should take several jcourses in Sociology. There you will find a department thatis free from any preaching. A spade is called a spade andno bluffing can get you by! Some of the courses are discus¬sion courses. There you will get an opportunity to expressyour ideas freely. I remember a certain class where astudent corrected the Professor by stating that neither thepopulace nor the clergy believe in religion. Both bodiesaccept- The populace being unable to rationalize, takes thingsfor granted and thus stops from working over Angels, Gods,and Virgins. The clergy, however, after having rationalizedand having convinced themselves of the absurdness of anycreed, decided that they are entitled to a living and thus jointhe rest of the civilized Bohemians. The Professor wasalarmed over such an idea. He immediately changed the toneof speech, pulled his coat down, and said, “Mr. ‘ thatis a reflection upon your own moral character. . . . Remem¬ber that it is so easy to be nice that it will not pay you tobe bad.” However, I confess that my secret belief was, andstill is, that the Professor did not know that some people arenot as moral as we are around the campus!From 8:00 a. m- until 6:30 p. m. this great organizationfunctions. Crowds come and go. Ph. D.’s are handed out forvarious contributions to human knowledge. Undergraduatesobtain diplomas! The world has many openings for bandsalesmen and bookkeepers. The Professor lectures; thestudent listens as he reads the snappy advertisement of BertKelly’s Stables! The President asked us to join the firm.Another “million bucks” for bricks!Someone said that we are in a “Big Parade.”The fool!MAURICE LESEMANIn The American Cararan, a recent book devoted to con¬temporary literature of quality and merit, we find the name,Maurice Leseman and recall that scarcely five years ago hewas an active member of The Poetry Chib here on campus.From the files of that club we have found a poem that Mr.Leseman wrote while on campus, and are publishing it herewith:A MAN WALKS IN THE WINDBeing so tired, it is hard to hide from you,It is hard to walk any longer in the night and the wind.I have gone among brown trees, I hare crunched the blueFrost bitten grass under my feet, I hare stoodIn parted thickets, caught in the crackling leaves,/ hare seen the brush piles on the ridges fired,I hare watched the twisted smoke that weavesBlue strands in the black branches of the wood;And now, being tired,Being tired now and worn enough for rest,Would it not be safe—would it not be very goodTonight to find it in your breast.In your wise breast where this is understood IFor we know the bitter tune the wind sings;There will be silence now. There will be rest-And eyes will heal after the wind stings.And I shall hear your heart under your breastMoving across time with a great flow.Ayid we shall hear no more the wind's calling,But only the silence of it falling and falling.And arrays the room will throb quietly and slow. GLENWAY WESTCOTTIn 1923 The Poetry Club of the University published anAnthology of their collected verse since 1917. The eightpoems from the pen of Glenway Westcott printed in thatcollection are the only record of his campus literary career.Two of them are reprinted herewith.THE BARE BODIESSimple as a snaketo the eye, but curiousin motions. . . .In this, a savage peaceof foothills piledas green melonsof rivers walkedby snipe.they start upfrom the blue-toppedgrass, the girla straightened crescent,the man a wedge, markedwith curled hairlike corn silk . • .alone timorousby a cry startled,where the mares' manesblow out like lace,where the bird sleeps.GIFTS OF THE RIVERBeneath Taos mountainflecked and pointedRio Granderuns in its groove,a violent zigzag,to the villagesclearing for water.Tin flowing soundlaps the tall airas a leave, s pro id cssslides, to failin the plaza.

I walkedwest on Third Street, and in the course of two blocks I passedsix houses that were fine houses for Gallup, New Mexico. Andone that was the finest of the six. Then I turned north again,making for the station.On the corner of First Street and a north-and-south street,the name of which I forget, I stopped to wash in what hadbeen in better times a saloon. The walls of the lavatory, likethe walls of most saloon lavatories, were papered with hilari¬ous bits of philosophy of one sort or another. But my eye fellon one grotesque scrawl that wasn’t hilarious somehow, ifyou know what I mean. It reads: “This is the town that Godforgot.”God may have forgotten Gallup, New Mexico, but there arctwo mortals who have not. I am one of them. The other is ahobo whose story, so he says, is like one out of a book-—Page Tivelve—(Continued from Page Eight)a thing in his blood, the old Jewish strain of family sanctity.He felt sure that he could safely marry and evade the shadowthat had haunted the marriage of his father and mother.He left his desk. As he walked through the outer office andinto the store proper, his stenographer looked up to smilesweetly at him. He stood in the store, gazing abstractedlyaround. Then he turned back. As he passed the girl at thedesk he said. “Will you have lunch with me today?”4Three years of married life had made little difference inthe characters of Max and Alys. Coming together as theyhad, in the office, they had married, he to satisfy an instinc¬tive, racial desire, she to do the conventional thing. Alysaffected and superficial as always had married Max becausehe could give her the niceties she wanted. He representedto her the means to an end, and the end was to impress otherpeople with her important place in life.Max was, fundamentally, the strait-bound, hard worker ofhis less fulsome days. Marriage had expanded him some¬what, but he remained impersonal and crude, the man of hisbachelorhood. He saw life on a dollars-and-cents basis. Con¬tacts with others of his social stratum left him still color¬less. He simply was not a man upon whom society made animpression.But Alys was not to be denied. She had an everlastingdesire to outdo her friends socially. She was always excel¬lently dressed, always shamming, always representing herselfas the wife of a wealthy man. Max naturally resented this.Anything that smacked of misrepresentation was foreign tohis naure, and he could not understand her desire to seemto be other than what she actually was.As time passed and they began to take each other more asa matter of course, they became anesthetic to one another.Max, being the more sensitive of the two, felt their differ¬ences keenly, but Alys never giving any matter a secondthought, simply regarded Max as an inevitable part of herexistence. She really had an idea that she loved him, buther love took the form of letting him support her.As Max’s business grew, their manner of living becamemore and more extravagant. But their habits were not gov¬erned by the success of the business. Instead, Max wasforced to exert himself to the utmost to keep his earningsequal to their expenditures. He wondered at this, not realiz¬ing the truth of the matter. He certainly begrudged hiswife nothing, but he felt hurt that she should be content toallow him always to work his hardest. They were makingno headway—saving nothing, but living up to the very hilt.5In March, 1917, Max Rosen’s son, Harold, as eleven yearsold. It was apparent that the boy was cast in his father’smold. Max’s intensity, his quick alertness, his straight¬forward bluntness, were all reflected in his son- That Haroldwas a brilliant boy was the logical result of the effect ofexcellent schooling, for his inherent abilities were quicklydeveloped by competent instruction. But the child had thatsame lack of charm that characterized the father. He wassulky, self-assertive, and far more egotistical than Max hadever been.Max and Harold were too much alike to be compatiblecompanions. Each was so engaged with self that there couldbe no sympathetic bond of unity between them. AlthoughMax cheerfully did his best to give Harold the finest possibleeducation, the relation between the two never became morethan one of friendship. They were not so much father andson as two. intimate, ununderstanding friends. Max, ofcourse, felt this keenly, the Oriental strain in him cryingaloud for filial love. He made efforts to break down thebarrier between himself and his son, but he finally gave upall hopes of reaching an understanding with Harold, Bothwere too straightforward to countenance sham sentimentality,and their very lack of charm made each impossible as a com¬panion for the other. They were components rather thancomplements, each the same in his strength and his weakness-The similarities, alone, divided them.As the son was like the father, so was the daughter likethe mother. Mildred Rosen, a year younger than her brother,was the physical and mental likeness of Alys. The sameattributes of affectation and pretense were present in the child, the atmosphere of affluence in which she was bredserving to intensify them. But, in spite of her shallownessand love of display, there was in her a certain tenacity ofpurpose. This strain, which marked her as being differentfrom her mother, might have come from Max, but the prob¬abilities were that this was a recrudescence of old Rose New-marck’s wilfulness. Mildred, in perfect keeping with herdesire to seem more than she was, made a great show ofdrawing, for she felt that something of this sort was theproper thing for a young lady of her class to do. Her mother,of course, made a few feverish movements, but Mildred kept onwith it. Her persistency was remarkable in one so young.However, her saving quality lay hidden by the veneer of pettyhypocrisy with which Mildred’s personality was covered.Alys encouraged her daughter’s every whim, and day by dayMildred became more like her mother- But Max adored her,turning an unseeing eye on her failings. She was the onlyone who would accept his love.6The years from 1910 to 1920 were the years of greatestachievement for Max Rosen. By 1915 his little dry-goodsstore had grown into a large department store, catering toan enormous trade. Max had been among the first to realizethe value of business done on the partial payment plan, andhe had profited greatly by his astuteness. But his limitationswere such—his poor training, his knowledge of fundamentalprinciples only—that he was forced to handle too much ofthe work alone. He could not understand his businessthrough the reports of subordinates; he had not enough ofthe visionary in him to be able to take an executiu* positionand allow underlings to do the actual labor which was involvedin the administration of the store. And so he found himselftied to his duties.Financially, too, he was irrevocably bound to his business.All his surplus earnings were returned to the store in theshape of increased merchandise and equipment. Nothing butliving expenses was drawn for his personal use; those livingexpenses, though, were large—Alys was still the same, seek¬ing, social jackdaw. She had lost much of her youthfulattraction and was, now, a simpering inane person, bent onmaking great show of her possessions. As a result, theRosens were living in a manner that was almost luxurious.It was, at least, indicative of considerable prosperity.The ease of his home life reflected itself in Max’s businesslife. He showed a softening of that sharpness that had madehim so sure of his own abilities in earlier years. Caught up,with others, on the great wave of prosperity that came withthe war, he did not consciously notice this gradual deteriora¬tion. Things seemed to run along of their own accord duringthose days. The firm foundation that he had laid now safelycarried the added weight of increased business.Characteristically, he was no more affected by affluencethan he had been by poverty. He gleaned some satisfactionfrom the fact that he had earned for himself a rather enviedposition in his own world, but, essentially, he remainedunspoiled by success. His superabundant vanity was flattered,but nothing could ever change the plain simplicity of theman- He was, of necessity, intense in his work, honest asthe day and sadly lacking in any suavity or polish of per¬sonality.With every added day, though, there came an increasingof the old, subtle fear which had hung over his childhoodand youth—the fear of poverty in his old age. He told him¬self that he was foolish even to entertain such thoughts, buthe could not shake them otf. Subconsciously, he knew thedanger of living up to the very last dollar of his income,and he feared the complete disaster that would occur in caseof any collapse. He had saved nothing. His only reserveswere in the form of life insurance, and even this was notof any great amount. But he kept on, reassuring himself.* * *In mid-year, 1920, the post-war period of prosperity wasat its height and Rosen, riding the crest of the wave, wasdoing an overwhelming volume of business. Forced byincreased trade to seek additional capital, he appealed tohis bankers. Loans were easily negotiated, for Rosen’sintegrity and ability were both known and appreciated. So,in 1920, Max Rosen had his most successful year.(Continued on Page Fifteen)—Page Thirteen—a ii§99§r1 tp*L1111§1§1§1i1§1§ More Con¬temporaryAmericansBy Percy H.

He realizedthat times were hard; he became more cautious, trying toease off a bit of the burden. His organization, at its presentsize, was burdensome and unwieldy. All he could hope todo was, by means of increased loans, to carry along his largeestablishment until business picked up again, as it asuredlywould. He would then be able to right his affairs. For thepresent he could do nothing but mark time and wait forimproved conditions.His next efforts to renew his loans were met with somecoolness, but he finally managed to convince his bankers thathe needed only time to enable him to scramble through theperiod of depression. Instead of the hoped-for change, how¬ever, the situation became steadily worse, financial affairsverging almost upon panic-conditions. Although his books,at the end of 1922, showed a rather heavy loss, Max, never¬theless, still felt reasonably sure that he would be able toweather the storm. He needed only co-operation.In seeking a still further extension of his loans, Max metwith some obstinate opposition, his bankers, at first, refusingto consider another renewal- Max finally brought themaround to his way of thinking, and the way seemed clearfor a restoration of the old regime of smooth-running pros¬perity. But the period of depression continued and reportsfor the year 1923 showed the same losses that had causedsuch trouble in 1922. Rosen was still as sure as ever ofhis ultimate rehabilitation. He realized that the predica¬ment in which he found himself was the most threateningof any in his whole career, but he remained certain that,somehow or other, he would worry through. When, however,at the end of 1923 he sought another extension of his loans,he was met with a downright refusal. Perhaps, if he hadpossessed just a little of the charm which was so vitally lack¬ing in his make-up, he might have persuaded his bankersto tide him over once more. Where a bit of suavity or tactmight have saved him, he crashed through his conferenceswith a supreme belief in the efficacy of facts and figures. Hisown limitations, rather than any choice which he might haveexercised, caused him to use the blunt, sledge-hammer tacticswhich were so characteristic of his methods. He bullied hisway through the whole proceedings, not yet fully aware ofthe awful abyss over which lie hung.In January, 1924, a petition of bankruptcy was filed againstMax Rosen.7Max raised himself on his elbow to see the luminous dialof the clock by his bed. Four o’clock. He lay back again,catching the sound of an occasional taxi-cab through the openwindow. He lay rigidly stiff, not wanting to wake his wife.He thought of the awfulness of having to talk to her now, ifshe should wake up. She couldn’t possibly understand any¬thing he might say.Fifty-one and a failure! The two thoughts twirled in hishead as they had for the past week. Failure! Fifty-one!He was, he knew, an old man, and the problem of startinghis business life over again lay before him. And now, herehe was, old and broke! God! Think of struggling along,pinching pennies for the rest of his life. What he had fearedfor so long had actually happened. He faced old age andpoverty. 1 he tear that had been in him all his life shook himwith a physical force.Suddenly he felt the same contempt for himself that hehad always had tor his father. In feverish, hectic flashescame the realization of the futility of his forty years of labor,kor a moment the thought of suicide held his mind. Afterall. there was no more for him to look forward to in this life.But he put the thought aside. His own innate sense ofhonesty and a feeling of responsibility for his wife and chil¬dren forced him to put the idea out of his mind- He had,at least, to provide for his own blood. He could not take thatway out and leave them to suffer.For the first time Max was consciously aware of the factthat the last fifteen years of his life had not been happy ones.His egotism took possession of him once more. All things con¬sidered, it did not matter much whether or not he was happy.The fact remained that he was poor and too old to begin overagain. He started to cry, softly, the tears wetting the pillow.(Continued on Page Sixteen) ELIZABETH MADOX ROBERTSElizabeth Madox Roberts is another of the campus poets togain literary fame. Like Glenway Westcott and her othercontemporaries, her eight poems which are printed in thePoetry Club’s anthology bear testimony to her poetic qualityas an undergraduate. The following two are reprinted fromthe collection.THE CORNFIELDI zvent across the pasture lotWhen not a one was watching me.Away beyond the cattle-barnsI climbed a little crooked tree.And I could look dozen on the fieldAnd see the corn and how it growsAcross the world and zip and downIn very straight and even rows.And far away, and far away . . ./ wonder if the farmer manKnows all about the corn and howIt comes together like a fan.THE BRANCHWe stopped at the branch on the way to the hill,We stopped by the water awhile and played,We hid our things by the osage treeAnd took off our shoes and stockings to wade.There is sand at the bottom that bites at your feet,And there is a rock where the waterfall goes.You can poke your foot in the foamy partAnd feel how the water mns over your toes.The little black spiders that zvalk on the topOf the water are hard and stiff and cool.An<l I saw some wiggletails going around,And some slippery minnows that live in the pool.And where it is smooth there is moss on a stoneAnd where it is shallow and almost dryThe rocks are broken and hot in the sun,And a rough little water goes hurrying by.LEONORE OV1TTMiss Ovitt has been a frequent contributor to campus pub¬lications for two years. She is an active member of ThePoetry Club and we take pleasure in offering her verse.THE WORLD REVEALSThe scientist has no dark moods.He classifies, observes, concludes,And though with outrage everywhere,He is not wont to feel despair.Discoveries unfold a worldSeemingly ruled by phantom zvill.Hut a friend behind pheziomcnaIs not to him perceptible.The collocations of some atomsDarting about the continentHappened to fashion human life;And man is the cosmic accident.Will earth tolerate for longA race which broke its solitude?The sun will dim, the ground will rot,All life zvill lose its habitude.The scientist can see that manIs headed for this dark abyss.Everything changes but the lazvOf change. And he can smile at this.The dreamer weeps that things are thus-Quite differently the zvorld revealsA comedy to him who thinks,A tragedy to him who feels.—Page Fifteen—Dfir^d to Parh othpr AVfir ita nomaa on/1 mwiUnA BBT?(Continued from Page Fifteen)The old bogey that had made his life one of hard workheld him now, the vague, nebulous fears changing into aconcrete problem that had to be met. Max felt no bitterness-His vanity—his self-sufficiency—reassured him that hisfailure was due, not to his own inabilities, but to economicconditions. But he knew this—had he had a wife who wouldhave helped him save his money he would, now, have had adecent sum laid by for his declining years. He shudderedat the renewal of the thought of the confronting situation.He put all blame of Alys away from him, his loyalty andhonesty revolting at the thought of shifting the burden olguilt.He let himself think of suicide again. That was an easyway out. Why, anything would be better than facing thewhole fight over again. Suddenly he saw his father, sittingin stocking feet in the old, ill-smelling kitchen in MonroeStreet- He saw his mother, bent over the sink, washinggreasy dishes. Max shrieked—a high, shrill, piercing yellas his nerves gave way completely to the strain of hisemotions. Alys sat up, frightened, staring at him.Max lay still, pretending sleep. Alys lay down again, mut¬tering.Fifty-one and poor! Poor! Poor! Fifty-one.Finally he dozed off.8The Rosens moved out of their large apartment and took asmall, five-room flat. They lived an unpleasant, grubbing life,trying their very best to regain some of the ground they hadso suddenly lost- They resigned themselves to a period ofhard work. They achieved a spirit of co-operation that hadbeen unknown to them in their more fortunate days. All ofthem worked—all except Alys.She, of course, could not understand just how greatly thefailure had affected Max. For him it had been a moral andspiritual collapse rather than a physical one, for he still hadthe benefit of years of business experience behind him. AsAlys saw the situation, it involved the sacrifice of all theluxuries to which she had been accustomed. She felt angrywith Max, although she made a great show of sympathy.In her heart she felt that her husband had wronged her byforcing her to give up her automobile, her parties and herfine clothes. She made much of her poor efforts to help theothers along- She went about her housekeeping duties witha resigned air of martyrdom, and told her friends, in a tearfulvoice, that she did not really miss social activities now thatshe had something to do to help Max along. But with lie,family she played no such game. Max and the children becamethoroughly disgusted with her perpetual long face and airof self-sacrifice.For the children, though, the failure involved real self-denial and the sacrifice of dearly desired plans. Harold, whohad been at college at the time of the catastrophe, came homeat once. The boy had developed marvelously and was anextraordinary capable fellow. He had planned to pursue acourse of study in sociology, and his brilliant work had seemedsure to make him successful in his chosen field. But whenthe crash had come, he had dropped all his work and hadoffered to help his father in any possible way. Max wasdelighted. He did not consider this the natural reaction ofany boy, for he and his son had drifted far apart. But nowthey seemed united at last. They still quarreled a great deal,but in a chafing way, not with their old bitterness. Maxwas proud and thankful for this reconciliation.Mildred, of all the family, benefited most during this periodof readjustment. She had thrown off her superficialities andaffectations, apparently awakened, and fully alive to thesituation. The dogged strain of willfulness strengthened inher. She went to classes at the Art Institute, and did herbest to develop her talent for drawing. She made effortsto sell some of her work to magazines and began to havesome little success. She still remained her father’s darling.She was always a refreshing relief to him and took that partthat should, by rights, have been Alvs’.As for Max, he remained, for the most part, dreadfullyunhappy. He managed to scrape up enough money from hislife insurance to start in the real estate business. Within twoyears he had, with Harold’s help, laid the foundation of a rather profitable concern. But he entertained no hopes ofever reaching the heights he had attained before. He was abroken man, but he went about his work with his old, stub¬born, hard intensity. He was not so sharp, not the keen,alert man that he had been but he was, at least, competent.The same nagging fears kept him going, now trebled forthe glimpses he had had of actualities. He lived in constantfear of penniless old age- Added to that was his resolve tomake his family independent once more. He became penuri¬ous, hating to spend a cent that might be saved. His lifebecame a long, weary chase after dollars and cents.So they lived. Max and his children were more unitedthan they had ever been. Alys found herself outside the paleof their affections. She could not understand them, norcould they comprehend her.And Max had a look of resignation ever present in his eyes.9Rosen walked across the living-room, kissed his wife andchild good night, and went to his room- He undressed, puton pajamas and a dressing-gown and lay down on the bed.He put the vial on the table, beside him, and turned offthe light.He relaxed, falling into his habit of retrospective contem¬plation of his actions. He thought, for a moment, of hisbusiness. It was doing well enough—earning enough moneyto keep his family in comfort. Harold could handle it easily.The boy could, possibly, do more with it than he himself haddone. He told himself that he had nothing to regret so faras the business was concerned—he wasn’t, after all, leavinghis family penniless.He knew now that his obligations to Alys and the childrenhad been the only reasons that had prevented his suicide twoyears before. In a last, flickering spurt his egotism wassoothed by the realization that he had been honest in meetinghis obligations and responsibilities.He reached for the bottle. He took six of the veronaltablets and swallowed them.Waiting for the poison to take its effect, Rosen saw himselfas he really had been. He knew that, secretly, he had con¬templated this act ever since his failure. He had been awareof his own moral capitulation. All those days of hard, grind¬ing effort had been only to set himself free. He had beensupremely selfish, even in his last work.There had really been no will to live in him. He recognizedthe fact and gave in to his own weakness. His only thoughtshad been concerning the futility of his further existence.Once his family was provided for, his game was played.And he could see no need to face endless years of labor,always fighting against impecunious old age. It wasn’t worththe struggle. Why fight fate all the time? He felt 'hat hehad not the powers to redeem his lost position.And now ... a little snooze . . . be all over . .no more worries . . - sleep quiet . . . always hadbeen . . . too damn proud. . . .

We’d all go down if we tried to getthem out now. (Then file out, Nolan going last.) That’s aheavy fog out there on the marsh. Going my way?
