ROSENBERGA single buildintc, not quite com¬pleted, a handful of students, andthe ideals and hopes of PresidentWilliam Rainey Harper. |Such was the University forty •years ago, when the clas.s of 1892entered its doors.A new plan, hailed as the mostproifressive and far-reachin>f educa¬tional development brought forth inthe last half-century; physical prop¬erties, buildings, and laboratoriesworth hundreds of millions of dol¬lars: and a faculty declared by im¬partial observers to be the best everassembled at any single institution.Such is the University of today,which you are to enter shortly.A New a New PlanWith the opening of Freshmanweek September 24 the first chapterof the University’s history closes. Anew class — your class — conies in,and with it comes a new plan whichhas taken thousands of dollars andyears of earnest, patient work to de¬velop.The entire I'niversity Ls divided in¬to five divisions: the College, theHumanities, the Social Sciences, thePhy.sical Sciences, and the BiologicalSciences. Your class, the class of19.‘}5, is the first to enter the College,which is intended to replace theformer “junior college’’, or first twoyears of work at the University.After completion of the work of theCollege, the student who desires toand who is qualified to pursue ad¬vanced work in some special fieldenters one of the four higher divi¬sions, or one of the professionalschools.Goal of the CollegeThe College, in which you areprimarily interested at pre.sent, willendeavor to give the student a gen¬eral education in the fields coveredby each of the four divisions. Promi¬nent members of the faculty of eachdivision will present courses whichare intended to “survey’’ the field ofthat division; that is, to give the stu¬dent an appreciation of the generaloutline of the field of the division,plus a working knowledge of thevarious techniques and tools whichare employed.Beside these “survey’’ courses,each of which will last through threequarters (an academic year), a va¬riety of elementary courses will beoffered by each of the departments.No Specified Time or CoursesStudents who are unable to ex¬press themselves with clarity and ac¬curacy in written English will be re¬quired to take special courses offeredby the English department.No specified courses and no statedlength of residence are required inthe College. Investigation has shownthat there is no peculiar efficacyabout the four-year period requiredfor graduation under the old system;individuals differ in their abilitiesand capacities, and should not, logi¬cally, be required to amass the samenumber of coitrses and credits to bedeemed worthy of the bachelor’s de¬gree.And so, whenever the student feelsthat he has raised himself to theproper level of educational attain¬ment, and whenever his dean or ad¬visor is convinced of that fact, hecan take the examinations requiredfor graduation from the College divi¬sion. The examinations require (1)a knowledge of the minimum essen¬tials of factual material and an in¬troduction to the methods of thoughtand work in each of the four fields—(Continued on page 3) To the Class of 1935:More constructive thought,more intelligently directed ef¬fort, and more money have beendevoted to the preparation ofthe educational program nowavailable to you than have everbeen spent upon the offeringsto any previous entering group.We believe that the programprepared for you will proveimmensely stimulating and prof¬itable. Our careful study ofyour capacities and the effective¬ness with which you individual¬ly have applied your capacitiesleads us to believe that you are,as a group, the best enteringclass we have ever had with us.We, students and faculty to¬gether, have a glorious adven¬ture ahead of us. We muststrive at all times to reap thefull harvest of profit and pleas¬ure from our challenging op¬portunities.C. S.

ClubUpon matriculation, all freshmenwomen automatically become mem¬bers of the Freshmen Women’s club.The chief purpose of this organiza¬tion is to promote friendship amongentering women students. Severalteas and luncheons are sponsoredthroughout the fall, winter, andspring quarters. Elections of officersof the organization take place duringChristmas week. All women are elig¬ible for offices on the board.Federation of University WomenFreshman women receive member¬ship in Federation of UniversityWomen as soon as they have enrolledin the University, However, Federa¬tion serves a far different purposethan does the Freshman Women’sclub. The upper-class counselor sys¬tem is a product of Federation andit is through the counselors ap¬pointed by Federation that Fresh¬men women obtain their first ideasand views of campus activities.F'ederation is not bouncjl by any dog¬matic traditions; it has been createdsolely for the convenience of Fresh¬men w'omen. When women havecompleted their Freshman year at theUniversity, they may in turn becomecounselors.Women’s Athletic AssociationThe Women’s Athletic Associationhas as its purpose the promotion ofinterest in all sports open to wom¬en. Fencing, basketball, bowling,golf, hiking, hockey, horseback rid¬ing, .swimming, track, and tennistournaments are held by the asso¬ciation throughout each year. Let¬ters and W. A.

Freshmen par¬ticipating in any Dramatic associationpresentations are eligible for mem¬bership in either Gargoyles or Towerplayers.Gargoyles is open to both men andwomen and has as its function thetraining of students in the processesof dramatic production. Plays arestaged every quarter with a climaxin the Playfest, a bill of one act playswritten, directed, and staged by stu¬dents, in the winter quarter. Under the supervision of the Boardof Organizations’ Exhibitions, andPul.licetion.', a student-r'acnlty group,four major ]) ibli'cations print “allnews that’s fit to read”—in varyingforms—about the campus. Each pub¬lication is given “freedom with re¬spect to editorial policy, subject to theboard.” The four publications areThe Daily Maroon, the Phoenix, theCap and Gown, and the StudentHandbook.As the official student newspaperof the quadrangles. The Daily Maroonis intended to mirror undergraduatelife and quicken interest in the prob¬lems and activity of the University.Four regular issues are publishedeach week, and a number of specialissues appear at various timesthroughout the year.At present. The Daily Maroon isthe only publication w’hich sponsorsa training school for freshmen. Mem¬bers of the class of 1935 who comeout for the paper do no actual workon it for the first quarter; instead,they attend a journalism class con¬ducted by the editor, the businessmanager, members of the faculty,and representatives of metropolitannew'spapers and advertising firms.At the end of this quarter of train¬ing freshmen may enter either theeditorial or business departments.Their editorial work consists mainlyof reporting and proofreading, andmay take between two and threehours several days a week; businesswork consists of selling advertisingor assisting in the distribution of thepaper. In June the incompetent or indiffer¬ent members of the staff are weeded, out and rest promoted throughelection by the staff. The most im¬portant posts on the paper are fivei Senior positions, each of which in-! elude.'5 a fixed percentage of the prof-ts of the paper. Twelve paid Juniorpositions, and an unassigned number! of Sophomore and Freshman posts,; are open to candidates.The office of The Daily Maroon islocated in Lexington hall, on Univer-I sity avenue between 58th and 59thI streets.iIn the brightly colored form of thePhoenix, campus humor magazine,the wit of the campus springs up ev¬ery month with a I’enewed and un¬abashed cackle. The Phoenix is thestage, backdrop, and wings for re¬partee between “he” and “she.” Tojokes, ancient, medieval, and modern,the editors add a plea.sant brew ofcartoons, dialogues, an clever ar¬ticles which give the magazine itsindividual tone.Distribution of the jApriodical istraditionally effected by sprightlydamsels who vie with each other forthe honor of selling the largest num¬ber of copies; howover, a feminineboycott last year forced mere malesto taW matters of salesmanship intotheir own hands.

Entering college, always an adventure,will be doubly important for you, the first freshmen to enter theUniversity after its reorganization, of which, of course, you haveread.During the thirty-nine years of the University’s existence, ithas risen from a college in a swamp to a place in the front rank ofinstitutions of higher education. The end is not yet. Forward-looking educators are striving always to better the opportunitiesoffered by the University to its undergraduatesHere there is no coercion, no compulsion to go to class or tostudy, but there have been and there will be few who will takeadvantage of this fact to escape work which it is necessary thatthey perform. With the student himself lies the responsibility fortaking advantage of the extensive intellectual opportunities whichare placed within his reach at the University. A student’s pro¬gress, under the reorganization, is limited only by his own capa¬cities and the extent to which he makes use of them.Colleges and universities have often been criticized on theground that they do not adequately prepare a student for the strug¬gle for existence which goes on in the world outside the walls ofthe little college community. These criticisms have justificationinsofar as the student himself withdraws himself from the realitiesof present-day life and buries himself in abstract studies. But,as a matter of fact, a student’s college career may be a prepara¬tion of the best possible sort for the business of life in the modernworld.Thrown into friendly competition with a great number ofstrangers at the University, the student, unless he is a definite mis¬fit, soon learns to meet people and to get along with them, one ofthe most important factors in success and happiness in life. ifhe chooses, he may enter one of the many flourishing student act¬ivities at the University, making new friends, and learning, in avery definite way, the same principles of handling people and af¬fairs which are applicable in life outside the University. The man¬agement of an enterprise like Blackfriars, for example, involvingthe production of a complete musical comedy and the handling ofthousands of dollars in a few, short weeks, is a business trainingwhose value is inestimable.Athletics at the University exhibit none of the wild struggleto produce winning teams which may be observed at so manyschools. Emphasis has always been placed on giving the greatestopportunity for play and physical development to the greatestnumber of students. Winning teams are more an incident thanan aim of this program, though the University has had more than jits share of athletic successes. ,Manifestly, it is impossible, during the space of four years ior less, for a student to take proper advantages of all the oppor- !tunities which are placed in his path. His entire college career iwill consist of decisions which he will be forced to make, giving <up this and concentrating on that. Metropolitan newspapers have 'made much of the fact that it is theoretically possible for a student ito emerge from theUniversity with a degree in as short a time as ;six months. An unfortunate or two may choose the course of get-!ting past his comprehensive examinations in the shortest possible jtime; but the college career which is of the most value is that which !is sanely diversified and rounded out—the one which gives the Istudent the advantage of a wide range of contacts and experiences. ^College life is not entirely composed of study and attendance at |classes. . . .L.

Last year 1206different men competed in at leastone sport, and some men competedin as many as fifteen or sixteen ofthe nineteen sports offered by theIntramural department.Intramural sports are intendedfor those men who are not of var¬sity caliber and who cannot competein intercollegiate athletics. They areprimarily athletics for the sake ofrecreation—sports in the spirit ofplay. It is in the man of amateurability that Intramurals arc inter¬ested, hoping, by supplementing thework of the varsity, to find a placein competitive athletics for everymale student at the University.Fix Sports to SeatonThe sports are divided accordingto the quarters of the Universitycalendar. In the fall cjuarter comestouchball, wrestling, golf, horse¬shoes, i)q1o, cross country run, theFreshman-Sophomore class rush andthe Swimming carnival.Winter sports are basketball, withclass and “B” divisions, wrest¬ling, bowling, hand-ball, the free-throw tournament, boxing and theWinter Track carnival. The springquarter brings playground hall, golf,tennis, military games, the SpringTrade carnival anB the .May Festivafat which a “^V‘y King’' Ls crowned.Besides promoting competitiveathletics among the male students,the Intramural department also of¬fers to men positions on its staff.Every year an average of fortyfreshmen turn out for staff positions.These freshmen act a.s score-keep¬ers, timers, linesmen and officials atthe games, or do office duty and pub.licity work. Ten Sophomore mana¬gers are chosen from the Freshmanassistants, these men to be in com¬plete charge of the individual sports.These sophomores are chosen on abasis of merit, work performed, per¬sonality, and willingness to contrib¬ute to the success of the department.Three men are elected from theten Sophomore managers as Juniormanagers. Each is in charge of one(fuarter’s sports and continues intothe fourth year as a memlrer of theSenior board. One of these threemen is elected by his predecessorsas chairman of the board and is thestudent general manager of Intra¬murals.The friendly rivalry of competi¬tion is the greatest value of intra¬mural athletics at the University.Intramural games not only provide.stimulating competition and health¬ful exercise, but also the basis ofac(iuaintanceships. Their popularityis evidenced, by the steadily increas¬ing participation each year.Swimming AttractsNumber of AspirantsSwimming, under the direction ofCoach MacGillivray, opens to thefreshman a means of strengtheningevery muscle in his body in the Bart-K'tt gy’m pool.

The Freshman squad will startpractice soon after the quarter be¬gins and is open to any man whocares to try for it. Opportunity to engage in the mostcolorful college sport, football, iswithin the reach of every enteringstudent. From the day that schoolstarts in the early fall until the chillwintry breezes sweep over Green¬wood field in November, the thud ofpigskins may be heard every after¬noon until dark. Supervising thispopular sport are a group of youngmen, generally outstanding playersduring their careers at the Univer¬sity, who are capable of instilling aliberal amount of Maroop spirit inaddition to a thorough grounding inthe fundamentals of‘the game.During the fall every man is con¬sidered as material for the varsityteam, and in keeping with the BigTen agreement not to engage in con¬tests with other schools, the Fresh¬man squad is utilized to learn andpractice the plays of varsity oppo¬nents. In this w’ay the freshmenlearn to adapt themselves to the styleof play of the greatest coaches in•America.and are at the same timeengaging the .Maroon varsity in prac¬tice several days a w’eek. ^With men like Kyle Anderson, areal fighter and a friend of everyfreshman, Jimmie Pyott, one of thebest punters since the time of WalterEckersall, and Lonnie Stagg, a loyalChicagoan and son of the “GrandOld Man”, to coach the squad, eachplayer “gets” where he belongs ac¬cording to the ability that he shows.At the end of the season the squad “PAT”PAGECOACHESFRESHMAN CAGE MENIN NEW FIELD HOUSEStudents Not Out ForFootball Can PlayDuring Fallis divided into two teams as evenlyi matched as possible and a “battleroyal” is played on Stagg field.Previous football experience,, though desirable, is by no means a[ prerequisite for candidacy to the; Freshman football squad. Interested, freshmen should sign up for footballas their physical culture credit, or,; as it is commonly known, p.c. cred^^and secure a locker and full equip¬ment in the basement of Bartlettgymnasium. Awards, in the form ofsweaters and numerals are made atthe end of the season, while a com¬plimentary ticket on the fifty-yardI line is given to all members of theI squad for each home game. Basketball practice for those stu-! dents not engaged in football intend-; ing to play on the Freshman squadi commences in Bartlett gymnasiumshortly after the opening of the Fallquarter. While no games are sched¬uled with the first year teams ofother universities, in order to reduceto a minimum the student’s Fresh-’ man year activities for the sake ofj his studies, the necessary rivalry isinjected into the sport through or¬ganization of “A” and “B” teams.Under the tutelage of Coach PatPage, the divisions are played againsteach other, and, when the playershave become conditioned, a teamcomposed of the best men is matchedI for the purpose of practice, with theI varsity. Fortified with training onthe Freshman squad, the student inhis second year has an excellentchance to make the varsity.

A remedy for a conditionunder which the University couldhouse only a small percentage of itsstudent body, this dormitory projectrepresents more than the erection ofmere living quarters. The Univers¬ity administration will make themplaces in which students will attaina significant communal life, a lif-ewhich will provide, to quote Presi¬dent Robert Maynard Hutchins “op¬portunity, not system.” At the sametime, the atmosphere of the residencehalls will be designed to stimulateintensive private work, in accord¬ance with the spirit of the new edu¬cational system that will be launchedat the same time these halls areopened.Student Life PlannedThe buildings include dining halls,clubrooms and libraries. The studentlife which will revolve around themwill be aided by athletic fields ad¬joining the halls, by informal stu¬dent guidance from resident facultymembers, and by student self-goveriv-)menf. rTwo features will characterize thelife of students living in the newresidential hall system. The fir.st of these is informality. The groups ;which develop, the regulations and !restrictions w’hich will be enforced, |and similar matters of student lifewill be determined at the wish and Ineed of the students themselves. Be- 1cause there are eight separate halls, !each will acquire, it is believed, acharacteristic student group and aset of standards distinct from the ,others. Nevertheless, the facilities ;of the units are so arranged that !there will be fostered a commonspirit throughout the two quadrang-gles of buildings, /.nd the occupants :\dll be removed, if they wish, from 'any distractions or intrusion of thecity life that surrounds the campus.Faculty Members in HallsThe second characteristic of thisnew dormitory life will be the closeassociation between students andresident instructors. There will bemembers of the faculty in each hall.Although teaching no formal courses 1within the hall itself, these men will 'be available for discussions with in- idividual students or groups. Their !contacts with the students will be jvaried in nature, and will occur un- 'der all circumstances, during the inormal relationships of ^ living to- !gether. |The residence buildings are laidout'^in quardrangles, in accordancewi^ the University’s plan on theiinfth. -side of 'the Midway.

Over one hundred mensang, danced, wrote music and lyr¬ics, and worked on the productionphases of last year’s show, “CaptainKidd, Jr.”Blackfriars is rated by the maga¬zine “Time” as one of the threeleading college musical comedies inthe United States. It started in1904 as an outgrowth of a group ofmen students and faculty memberswho organized to produce a play forthe benefit of the University Settle¬ment. Early productions were crude,homemade affair.s, but with the pass¬ing of years costumes became moreelaborate, scenery more expensive,and dancing and singing more expert.The entire production is produced,financed, and managed by undergrad¬uates, with the exception that a pro¬fessional director is in charge of thestaging. U»der a new constitutionadopted last fall, the order is gov¬erned by one Senior officer, theabbot, who is assisted by three otherseniors, the prior, scribe, and hos¬pitaller.The actual work of the produc¬tion devolves on four Junior mana¬gers, each in charge of one phaseof the production.

The south halfof the block is devoted to the recre¬ational life of the halls, where thereare provided a playing field, tenniscourts, and other athletic facilities.Designed by Zantzinger, Borie andMedary, of Philadelphia, the build¬ings are Tudor Gothic in style, andare of Bedford stone. The entireblock, it is planned, will be improvedby landscape experts.In planning the living quarters,effort has been made to offer theoccupants as great a variety ofchoice as possible. There are accom¬modations for 390 men. Two hun¬dred and fifty-five of the rooms arearranged as combined study-bed¬rooms for one man each. One hun¬dred thirty-five rooms are arrangedin suites: sixty-six of these consistof two rooms each (a study and arooms and one consists of threerooms. These suites may accommo¬date either one or two men.In designing the suites, variety ofchoice has been considered. Elevenof them have private baths, eighthave fireplaces,' twenty-eight* havelarge bay aeindows, and so on.Tne furnishings of the rooms aremodern and comfortable; they in¬clude an easy chair, reading lamp,table-bookcase, desk chair, dresser,rug, bed, and wardrobe closet.The four Junior divisions are busi¬ness, publicity, technical, and com¬pany. Sophomore positions are:advertising, box office, program, pro¬motion, high schools, posters, news¬papers, radio, scenery, lighting, cop-tumes, propeities, cast, chorus,music, and ushers.Freshmen may work under one ofthe sixteen Sophomore productionmanagers, or they may try for posi¬tions in the cast and chorus. Mem¬bers are elected to the order at theend of the show each year on recom¬mendation of the abbot, the fourJunior Managers, and the sixteenSophomore Managers.The Blackfriars office is locatedon the third floor of Mitchell Tower. “IRROR” PORTRAYSWOMEN IN GAY MOODEach year the University womenappear before the campus in an inti¬mate revue, thereby rounding out thecomplete roster of dramatic activi¬ties in which the freshmen can findoutlets for their stage abilities.

It begins with an ex¬amination of the problems andmethods of investigation peculiar tothe social sciences. The economic,social, and political order that pre¬ceded the industrial revolution isthen contrasted with contemporarysociety. The processes of transfor¬mation by which these changes werebrought about is traced with a viewto providing a suitable backgroundfor the understanding of the majorsocial problems of the present day.This study of the economic, social;and political order gives occasion forthe introduction of descriptive andanalytical methods of approach. Op¬portunity for individual work onselected problems is offered in con¬nection with the major divisions ofthe content of the course.A syllabus of the entire course isavailable at the first meeting. Itgives a detailed survey of the sub¬ject matter, the program of lecturesand readings.The syllabus of the course hasbeen prepared by Professors HarryD. Gideonse, Jerome G.
