President, Ladies and Gentlemen :Feelings seem faded when once passed into words.Anything I might say would appear commonplacecompared to the great joy which fills me when I realize that once again I have the privilege of addressinga Chicago audience. The occasion is perhaps too formal and solemn for a speaker to allow himself to makedigressions into the domain of personal recollections.And yet how can I help it? Two years have notdimmed the memories connected for me with the nameof this city. If two years ago, after having addressedyour citizens, I was asked to several universities ofthis country, if now I have been brought across theocean by an invitation from the Lowell Institute inBoston, if finally I have been honored by PresidentHarper's invitation to take part in the present festivity — I owe it not to any literary or scientific notoriety of my name, but simply to the fact that when Ifirst addressed it, I had the fortune of pleasing my*The Convocation Address of the Spring Quarter delivered J W CX i. U.ITChicago audience. How could I resiDo vu.^ yvvimpetus of these reminiscences which now come to thefront with all the unfading freshness of first impressions? Besides individual experiences lose their personal character when they are shared by thousands..Experiences like those we all had during the greatSeptember days of the Columbian year, while beforethe astonished, both mistrustful and hopeful eyes ofthe world, The Parliament of Religions was holding it&;sessions on the shores of Lake Michigan — such experiences are not personal, and the deeper their individual character the wider their universal significance.As flame is not weakened by giving life to anotherflame, as light is not diminished when refracted andreflected, so are human feelings not diminished bybeing shared, but increased by being multiplied.Therefore I do not hesitate in recalling these reminiscences, and joyfully bring before you my personalgratitude for all that now arises under the touch ofat the Auditorium, Chicago, April 2, 1896.2 UNIVERSITY BJEOOMDmemory. Is not memory like a spark which, falling insome remote region of our past, suddenly sets fire toall that slumbers in its twilight and calls it to thefront of the present moment in vivid flames of resuscitated feelings? Blessed the faculty which does notallow the past to die away but makes it always present, eternally living ! Is not memory the source, theactual root of all our enjoyments in life? Do we nottouch the first principle, the primary element of allintellectual joy when we say that it comes from ourgetting— call it the illusion, call it the certitude, thattime does not exist? Every time we run across a factor a thought or a feeling that makes us think to ourselves, " Perhaps the old Greek philosopher is wrong ;perhaps everything does not flow, everything does notpass away, perhaps something does remain after all "—every time we think so there is enjoyment ; every timewe state that human feeling with its intensity orhuman thought with its power overcomes the all-destructiveness of time — there is happiness. In factno happinesses conceivable unless emanating fromthis source. Whether we are conscious of it or not,every time we live a moment of happiness in our life,it is because memory triumphs over oblivion.The constructive power of his memory is the onlything man can oppose to the destructive elementwhich determines the succession of fluxionous times.Destructiveness is the principle of our physical existence; it is perhaps the only law of nature which isrepugnant to man, — probably because he knows thathis personal individual death is the cooperating element of this continuous sweeping away of generationsand ages. All efforts of the human intellect tend toovercome, countercheck, or at least to disguise the perishable side of things. The apparently most uselessof these efforts from the point of view of immediatepractical benefit, the so-called applied arts, acquire analmost tragic significance if we consider that they arean infusing of the eternal elements of our intellectinto those very objects which are destined to serve thepractical wants of our perishable physical portion.We may say that the whole history of intellectual mankind is nothing but one gigantic effort of resistance.Science and art form an indestructible monumenterected by the eternal portion of the human nature tocelebrate its victory over physical death.How essentially different these two forms of life —the physical and the intellectual. The physical existence of mankind presents a succession of generationswith the condition of a continuous expulsion of thepreceding by the following; as a matter of fact thereis no physical existence properly speaking — physicallife is but a transitory state, a passage from one non existence into another non-existence. And there iseven no physical transmission in this physical succession. In spite of the faculty of procreation, in spite ofthe laws of heredity, the amount of physical vitality ageneration bequeaths to its successors is not greaterthan the one it received from its predecessors. Withinthe limits of his earthly life physical man realizes butthe sum of his own individual forces which disappearafter he is gone, in this he does not differ from inanimate things which are swept away by the wind afterthey have fallen into dust, for in physical successionthere is no accumulation. Physical man is a result ofpreceding generations; he is not the sum of their physical forces.And now look at intellectual mankind. The sameman who enters his physical existence as an unconscious, passive and irresponsible result of the past,becomes a conscious, active and responsible sum ofthe preceding generations when he achieves hisintellectual career. Whereas the physical forces ofevery single generation, as those of every singleindividual, expire as soon as they are swept away bydeath, their intellectual forces are preserved and liveon in the results of their intellectual work ; they arenot swept away, they are not extinguished, they cannot perish ; forever are they cast by the indestructiblemould of memory, undiminished are they handed overfrom generation to generation, and a man cannotadvance in learning nor make science move a step forward unless he has acquired and assimilated all thatothers have accomplished before him. A truth onceformulated, a law once discovered, lives on in everynext discovery. The first mathematical principles formulated by Euclid are implied in Newton's BinomialTheorem. As, according to Carlyle's expression," Thought once awakened shall not again slumber,"so things once unveiled by thought will never vanish.How perfectly the ancient Greek must have understood this, he who so beautifully expressed it in thegrammatical structure of the verb. That form of thepast known in the conjugation of the Greek verb asthe " Aorist" is nothing but the expression of that lawof which I speak. The past of the verb "I learn"was used by the ancient Greek in the sense of "Iknow." Just enlarge, widen the significance of thisgrammatical particularity, — from the individualtransfer it to the whole of mankind, and you will getat once the most concise formula to express the eternal,ever- young character of intellectual things : Euclid"learned," Newton "knows," Franklin "beheld,"Edison "sees," Plato "spoke," posterity "hears,"Beethoven "composed," his music " resounds," Shakespeare "wrote," Hamlet "lives," Columbus "discov-UNIVERSITY RECORD€red" and America "is." There is a continuouscoming to the front in all intellectual things, a never-ceasing presence of the past ; the capacity of thepresent moment will never be so small as not to contain the whole past in its entire volume. The mostcomplicated of modern machinery is controlled bythose truths which were observed and stated by earlyhumanity in the misty ages of its infancy, and the littleboy who first noticed the concentrating action exercised by a convex glass on the sun's rays, is still alive inthe X rays and " Scotography " of Professor Roentgen.What a wonderful contrast with the physical domain. On one side — expulsion, forcing out, and on theother — preservation, building up. The essentialdifference of matter and mind appears in this comparison. The principle of physical existance is succession,the principle of intellectual existence is transmission.But transmission implies another act — the acceptanceof that which is transmitted. If by transmission wemean the handing over of the present to the future,we call the acceptance of the past by the present, tradition. These two terms are but two different waysof designating the one and the same continuity ofintellectual mankind ; they measure the same chainonly they count the links in opposite directions.Wonderful that chain of human knowledge one endof which is in our minds and the other lost in thedepths of centuries ; endless, yet never so long as notto be contained in a single human brain. Thus tradition appears as an inherent element, an indispensablecondition of man's intellectual development. Thosewho pretend to instruct themselves and at the sametime despise tradition, are unconscious of the abnormality they commit. By expelling from the intellectual life that which constitutes its very principle theydeviate from the great channel of intellectual mankind, they sin against nature by introducing the principle of succession in a domain where things obey theprinciple of transmission ; they subject mind to thelaws which regulate matter, they aim at instructionby way of destruction. For "what is the original meaning of all instruction?" Max Muller asks,and answers, " It is tradition, . . . the establishment of some kind of continuity betweenthe past, the present and the future. This mostprimitive form of education and instruction markseverywhere the beginning of civilized life andthe very dawn of history." And the poet says :Yet I doubt not through the ages one increasing purpose runsAnd the thoughts of men are widened by the process of thesuns.Continuity with the past and breadth in the presentare the measures of culture. A culture without in heritance, or a culture which is not conciously rootedin the acquisitions of the past, is not rational, butequally irrational is a culture which is not wider thanits past. Only the surplus of culture presented by ageneration gives it a place in the ascending march ofmankind; a generation which has no intellectualsurplus, whose "process" has not helped the "widening " of their father's thought will have no place of itsown in the history of civilization, its passage throughearthly existence will mark no constructive momentin the advance of mankind.If depth in the past and breadth in the presentmeasure is the degree of culture, there must be in thehuman nature two corresponding faculties for trainingthe human intellect in each of these directions. Wehave seen already that memory is the means by whichthe chain of traditional culture is lengthened and consolidated ; the faculty which helps the increasingwidening of culture is — responsiveness. Responsiveness is But shall I really explain what responsiveness is ? Responsiveness — the most sacred ofhuman faculties, the juvenile survivor of all thatgrows old and declines and decays, responsiveness — •the ever young companion of generations throughoutthe ages, responsiveness — the warrant of perpetuityfor all that is great and noble and beautiful on earth?Shall I really explain the term to this my audience,an audience composed of workers, students and loversof science ? No, who more than you would be apt tounderstand and to feel the beauty of that word?" There are thoughts," says Emerson, "which alwaysfind us young." There are surroundings, should Isay, which have the faculty of making us always feelyoung. A university is old and venerably white-haired through the accumulated knowledge of preceding generations, but when in the vigorousbeauty of its powerful energies it faces the fathomless future with its illimitable prospects, auniversity is never more than twenty years old. No,,I will not explain ; I simply appeal to that spirit ofyouthfulness which breathes in your souls, to the-palpitating chords of sympathy which vibrate in yourhearts, and I shall need no arguments to make yourealize that every single man bears in himself the-most powerful element of culture and advancement inthe sacred faculty of responsiveness to beauty.Where is not beauty in this world ? "Wherever areoutlets into celestial space," says your sweet philosopher, "wherever is danger and awe, and love — thereis beauty." " Lerne nur das Glueck ergreif en, denn dasGlueck ist immer da," says Goethe : " Only learn tograsp your happiness, for your happiness is alwaysthere." The same may be said of beauty, whether4 UNIVERSITY RECORDmoral, scientific or artistic. Beauty is the great unifying and amalgamating force of the disjointed elementsof our life. " IHs the only spiritual quality of matter,"says a Russian writer, "consequently the only linkbetween these two fundamental elements of theuniverse." What a powerful instigator for theacknowledgment of the universal relationship ofthings and men, and of men between themselves is thefaculty of responsiveness to beauty which we all bearin our hearts. Responsiveness to beauty is the gatethrough which we enter those superior regions wherethe tempests of earthly passions lose their power,where political or national distinctions fade awayand where, in the serene neutrality of scienceand art, a cultivated mind finds its eternal,^unalterable fatherland. In our days, when politicallife has so sharply accentuated itself, when nationalvulnerability has become so susceptible,, so touchy,that a word on one side of the ocean is capable ofarousing a tempest on the other, in our days of"spread-eagleism" and "jingoism" when the dailypress— that gigantic parasite of our intellectual life— seems to delight in exciting appetites of "international cannibalism" or in flattering feelings of"zoological patriotism,"— in such days lovers of-science and art must raise their standards ; steppingover all frontiers, they must raise their voices to theglory of all that is beautiful wherever and wheneverit appears; for "beauty," says the Russian philosopher, "is the best part of our real world, the onewhich not only exists but is worthy of existence."-Our own individual life accordingly becomes worthyof existence only in proportion with our responsiveness to beauty. Therefore let us cultivate that facultyof out soul ; let us not waste it in shallow enthusiasmlor unworthy tMngs ; It is too precious a gift, it is a^warrant df fraternity, it must become an instrument«of social solidarity. Every new chord which vibratesin our hearts is a new point of contact with others,whereas the man who loves nothing loves no one.Scientific or artistic beauty appealing to people ofdifferent conditions, awakens in their souls that whichis similar in them and thus makes them meet on-common ground. Who will ever remember to whatasocial class, to what political faction he belongswhen his entire being is enraptured by the tempestof those emotions which invade him at the touch-of Shakespeare's, Dante's or Beethoven's genius?"What so delicious," asks Emerson, "as a just and firm^encounter of two, in a thought, in a feeling ? " What*bo delicious ? I'll tel you what so delicious and eventmore — the encounter of thousands, of millions, of'mankind in a thought or in <a feeling is still better than the encounter of two. And what better instrument than art to further such an encounter. Art asthe embodier of beauty, and literature, more particularly, as the most many-sided of all arts and the lessdependent upon space and means of execution— isdestined to become one of the greatest agents of thatunifying tendency which brings men of differentsocial, national, political conditions to a sympatheticmeeting on a common ground of universal humanfeeling. For "In each special field," says Goethe,"whether in history, mythology or fiction, more or lessarbitrarily conceived, one sees the traits which areuniversal always more clearly revealed and shiningthrough what is merely national and personal." Ifpeople only would abandon themselves without restriction to the influence of art. But we are so muchtrained on the lines of human divisions that even inthe domain • of art, which is entirely based on itsappealing to the universal equality of the humansoul, we introduce standards of national and politicaldistinctions. How much greater, higher, nobler, arethose feelings which {are inspired by human similitude compared to those which are determined byhuman dissimilitude. And yet we never entirely freeourselves from social or political considerations ;they always come to the front, and, by their inopportune intrusion, prevent our immediate contactwith the highest products of the human mind.Nineteen centuries ago one man asked anotherwhether it was possible that any good couldcome out of Galilee. Was not the answer eloquentenough? And yet we have never since ceased"inquiring" and "wondering;" and with time those"Galilees" only increased in number; the religious" Galilee," the sectarian, the national, the social, thepolitical "Galilees" rise like unsurmountable barrierswhich divide humanity, sow mistrust in human heartsand poison the free and genuine intercourse of humanintellects. O, let us not allow similar considerationsto walk over the precinct of science and art and tocontaminate the purity of intellectual enjoyments;let us not allow national hatred, political misunderstandings, prejudices against an epoch, antipathyagainst an individual, to steal in between our soul anda work of science or a work of art. All these arevenomous feelings but their sting is turned againstourselves : they have no power of wounding the work,for science and art are invulnerable and flourish on intheir serene tranquillity above the reptiles of humannarrowmindedhess. It is not whence he comes wemust ask of a man of science or an artist— but, wherehe goes, where he leads us, and then, let us open ourhearts and follow him.UNIVERSITY RECORD 5Yes, let us approach the work of science or the workof art with that same oblivion of human distinctionswith which we fly to the salvation of a man who runsa mortal peril. Like unto a burning glass let usgather and concentrate the irradiating beams ofbeauty so as to light in our hearts the glow ofresponsiveness and sympathy ; let us preserve in oursoul the divine gift of admiration, let it not be intimidated, let it not be trampled upon by outside considerations which have nothing to do with scienceor with art. People strain their minds in order todecide whether science and art are national or cosmopolitan ? It seems to me as hollow and useless anattempt as if they were to decide whether the riverbelongs to the mountain or to the ocean. " That whichis truly excellent," says Goethe, " is distinguished byits belonging to all mankind." No, let politics take careof geographical frontiers and illuminate the map ofthe world with the glaring colors of national divisions,science and art will not allow human minds and humanhearts and human souls to be imprisoned within thesefrontiers. Products of human genius rise above theMembers of the University, Trustees, Colleagues,Students, and Friends :The University acknowledges its indebtedness tohead marshal Joseph E. Raycroft and to marshalsHenry Gordon Gale, Henry Tefft Clarke, HarryWheeler Stone, Raymond Carleton Dudley, PhilipRand, and William Scott Bond, for the efficient servicewhich they have rendered, during the year, in connection with University Convocations and other University meetings. For the year of '96 and '97, the following have been appointed Marshals : William ScottBond, Head Marshal ; Donald Shurtleff Trumbull, Gilbert Ames Bliss, Harvey Andrew Petersen, and JamesScott Brown, Marshals. These appointments areunderstood to be an indication of the esteem in whichthose named are held by The University.Affiliation and Cooperation.To the list of institutions affiliated with The University there has been added, during the last quarter,the Princeton- Yale School, Hiram A. Gooch, Principal,with 10 teachers and 114 pupils. The followingschools have been visited by the University School soil of their birth and by following them in pure sincerity of admiration, we rise ourselves; thus evennational spirit becomes a force which leads us on theway toward universality; therefore it is not a treasonagainst humanity, if we love our fatherland just asthere is no treason against our fatherland if we lovehumanity. As the oak is virtually contained in theacorn, so the universal importance of a noble feelingis contained in its national significance ; for a noblefeeling, whatever its object maybe — whether family,or fatherland, or mankind, or science or art — alwaysmakes us participate with universal life. The greatspirit which worketh in the world and which favorsthe accomplishment of those acts by which humanityadvances toward the fulfilment of its destiny is thesame every where — in every country, in every nation, inevery individual — and no geographical limits are wideenough, no political barriers are high enough, no nationaldivisions are profound enough to dismember the unityof the human soul, or to prevent the acknowled-ment of this unity from taking root in our conscience.Examiner and a University Counselor : MilwaukeeHigh School, Michigan Military Academy, WestAurora High School, East Aurora High School,.Moline High School, Lyons Township High School*Rockford High School, Ottawa High School. Uponthe recommendation of the visitors these schoolshave been received into cooperation with The University. In accordance with this cooperation theUniversity recognizes the teachers in these schools ascompetent, under certain prescribed regulations, toexamine students for admission to The University,such examinations being accepted in lieu, of theregular examinations of The University. This systemmay perhaps be best described by the word "cooperative," since it involves the joint work of Universityand Secondary School in a sense and to a degree notcharacterizing other systems.The University Extension.The influence which The University is exercisingthroughout the communities of this and neighboringstates, in its system of local lecture courses, is growingand strengthening each year. The' results, thus farStntcatiotiaLTHE PRESIDENT'S STATEMENT ON THE CONDITION OF THE UNIVERSITY.For the Winter Quarter, 1806.6 UNIVERSITY RECORDachieved, are such as fully to justify the efforts thathave been made in this Department of our work.Experience has shown the desirability of certainchanges in the system, and others will doubtlessappear from time to time as the outcome of furtherexperience. But the underlying principle of theundertaking is more and more fully recognized, bothby the University authorities and by the public, to bea thoroughly sound one.No one ever supposed that the demand for systematic courses of University lectures in Literature,Science, and Art was universal and imperative anymore than is the demand for the very best in otherthings. The need of such work is, however, more andmore manifest in our American life, and The University is doing very much to convert this need into ademand. We are engaged, in a word, not simply insupplying an existing demand, but in the even moredifficult and important work of creating in the community at large that demand for the best of everything in the intellectual, aesthetic and moral worldwhich is at once the evidence of, and the surest meanstowards, the higher civic life.We may fairly ask the aid and sympathy of allclasses of the community in this important branch ofthe University work.The University Settlement.During the nearly four years of our University history there has been built up, in the stock-yards district'of the city, through the efforts of an energetic and ablecommittee, a University Settlement. The work hasdeveloped in a most successful way. The field was insome respects as good as any that could have been©elected in the city. The workers have been earnestand zealous. The people, in the midst of whom thesettlement was established, have been eager for help.It has been thought that this particular work affordedan opportunity for the members of the University andfor their friends to give tangible expression to thatinterest in the welfare of others which modern lifesuggests and demands. So important has the worknow become, that it has seemed necessary to reorganize and enlarge it. The friends of The University areinvited to share with us the privilege of forwardingthe work. The success of the Hull House Settlementand of similar institutions in eastern cities is a sufficient guarantee of the feasibility of this enterprise.For our own sake, for the sake of the people who arethus helped, and perhaps, above all, for the sake ofour city, the work is necessary. The head resident ofour University Settlement, Miss Mary McDowell, haswon the sympathy and good-will of all who have come into contact with her. It is our duty to join handswith those who have this work under their specialcare, and to do all that is necessary to make it worthyof the cause which it represents, and of the University whose name it bears. The committee of theChristian Union of The University, which has had itin charge, has called a special meeting to consider theadoption of the following plan for the reorganizationof the committee. It is proposed, "that the Philanthropic Committee of the Christian Union shallconsist of six members chosen by the ExecutiveCommittee of the Union, including one repreresenta-tive each from the faculties of the Divinity School,the Graduate Schools, the Senior Colleges and theJunior Colleges and from the Board of Trustees,and additional members, not exceeding nine, nominated by the various bodies contributing to the workof the committee. The additional members shall beapportioned among these bodies by the ExecutiveCommittee, to which their nomination must be submitted for approval. The term of membership shallbe three years, one third of the membership of eachclass expiring annually."The Students' Fund Society.One of the most important allies of The Universityis the Students' Fund Society. The Executive Committee of this Society consists of fifteen well-knownwomen of Chicago who give largely of their time andmoney in the conduct of the work. The objects ofthe Students' Fund Society are (1) " to create an interest in and secure the endowment of fellowships andscholarships for needy students of high scholarship inThe University of Chicago ; and (2) to raise and administer funds to be loaned to the students of The University of Chicago who shall be properly recommendedby the Executive Committee."During the year closing December 1, 1895, the receipts of the Society were $2,831.88. It is impossibleadequately to describe the good accomplished by theexpenditure of this money. Those of us who come incontact with that element of our University body,which is made up of men and women eager for aneducation but lacking the means for securing it, knowonly too well the sacrifices which are made. TheUniversity warmly appreciates what has been accomplished by this Society. The need of a much largersum for the present year is very great. There aremany who cannot aid the cause of higher educationby giving large sums, who, perhaps in this way, maymeet the obligation toward that cause which pressesitself upon them.The Botanical Gazette.To the number of its scientific journals The University has added another, The Botanical Gazette, nowin its twentieth volume. The journal was establishedin 1875 by John M. Coulter, then a professor in HanoverCollege, Indiana. His botanical work in the RockyMountain region, in connection with the GovernmentSurvey under Dr. Hayden, had brought the editor intointimate association with Professor Asa Gray of Harvard, and consequently the new journal had the immediate support of the leading American botanists.Dr. Gray suggested the name, and during his lifetimehis contributions to its pages were frequent. At firstbut a single sheet issued monthly, and necessarilyrestricted to the field of Systematic Botany, it developed with the very rapid growth of the science in thiscountry, and yearly added to its pages and its scope,until now its monthly numbers make an annual volume of more than 600 pages and contain contributionsfrom the leading botanists of America and Europerelating to every field of botanical research. Its establishment was coincident with a great botanical awakening in the United States, and it has since played aprominent part in every movement concerned in theadvance of the science, standing today as the onlyAmerican journal of Botany of broad scope and largeinfluence. In 1880 Professor Charles R. Barnes, of theUniversity of Wisconsin, and Professor J. C. Arthur,of Purdue University, became associated with Professor Coulter as editors.The American Journal of Theology.The Trustees of the Theological Union with theapproval of The University Trustees, have establisheda journal which will bear the name, The AmericanJournal of Theology. It will be edited by membersof the Divinity Faculty of The University of Chicagoin cooperation with associate editors, from otherinstitutions in our own country, and in Europe. Thenew journal will be issued quarterly, each numbercontaining about 300 pages. It will be catholic andscientific in its character, and will include the biblical,historical, dogmatic, comparative, and practical departments, the last, including the sociological, homi-letical, liturgical, pastoral missionary and educationaldivisions. The support has already been promised ofleading theological scholars in this country andabroad. The first number will be issued January 1,1897.New Buildings.The work of the building committees of the trusteescontinues to be as urgent as at any time since theopening of The University. The Haskell Oriental RECORD 7Museum is now practically finished and this week forthe first time it is occupied. The formal opening ofthe Museum will take place July 1. The dedicatoryaddress will be delivered by Professor George AdamSmith, of Glasgow, Scotland.The building of the Yerkes Observatory has beendelayed during the winter months, but will now beresumed. The placing of the instruments will be completed, it is hoped, not later than July or August.October 14th has been selected as the date for theformal opening of the Observatory. An effort will bemade to make the opening exercises worthy of thegreat event thus celebrated. It has been necessaryfor the trustees to make special arrangements for theerection of houses for the professors who are to resideat Lake Geneva. The plans for these houses havebeen prepared and their erection will soon begin.In carrying out the wishes of Miss Culver, as expressed in her letter of December 14 to the trustees*steps have been taken to erect four large laboratories,each of which will cost $75,000, one for Zoology andPalaeontology, one for Anatomy, Neurology, and Experimental Psychology, one for Botany, and one forPhysiology. The plans for these buildings have beencompleted and the contracts are about to be made fortheir erection. It is hoped that they may be readyfor occupancy about twelve months from this time.Enrollment for the Winter Quarter, 1896.I.

The first two years of college workheretofore designated as the " Academic College," willnow be known as the " Junior College," the third andfourth years heretofore designated as the "UniversityCollege " will be called the " Senior College."The Trustees have also enacted that, instead of theword " Tutor," as heretofore employed in designating acertain rank of instructors, there shall be used theword " Associate."The Administrative Board of Student Organizations,Publications, and Exhibitions.Upon the recommendation of the University Councilthe Trustees have established the Board of Administration for Student Organizations, Publications, andExhibitions. This Board will henceforth be chargedwith the execution of all University regulations bearing upon University Houses, student fraternities, andstudent publications. It will also have the generalsupervision of all student entertainments and exhibitions. It will be the policy of the Board to encouragethese student activities, and in no way to interferewith or repress them. The large freedom which, fromthe beginning, has been granted the students of TheUniversity will be continued, and every effort will beput forth by the new Board to encourage the development of student activity within reasonable limits.The college is a place for study; but college lifeincludes more than study. The life of the studentmust be considered in all the elements which make upthat life. The best results in study will be secured ifthe other activities are strong and properly adjusted.The interests in a college community are as diverseas the interests of life. These interests not infrequently clash one with another, but even in this casethe results, if the proper spirit prevails, can onlybe good.Classification of Students.Attention is invited to an important step justttaken by both of our college faculties, the Academic and the University, now to be called theJunior and the Senior, in separating the studentsunder the care of each faculty into six divisions.according to the number of courses of study completed; these divisions being further subdivided into sections, the number of students in each sectionnot exceeding 25. The students of each division willselect one of their own number to serve as studentcounselor and to represent them in connection withthe administration of The University. The sixcounselors thus chosen in each college will select aseventh. This body of student counselors will constitute the Student College Council and will (1)serve as a students' committee on behalf of thecollege which they represent ; (2) consider any mattersproposed by the faculty and report upon the same;(3) supervise in general students' meetings and holidays ; and (4) act, individually, in connection with thefaculty officers of each division.Beside the student counselor, each division will havea division officer appointed by The University. Thisdivision officer, who shall be an instructor, will serveas an adviser of the students in his division on allmatters which pertain to their college life, and, in connection with the dean, will supervise the course ofstudy of each student. It will be his duty to studythe peculiarities and characteristics of each studentwith a view to rendering him the particular assistanceof which he stands in need. In other words, the principle of individualism will be accepted as fundamentalin dealing with college students. Each student will beconsidered in and for himself, and an effort will bemade to assist him in attaining the fullest developmentof the powers given him by nature.Intercollegiate Athletics.An important step has been taken by the leadinginstitutions of the northwest towards securing greaterpurity in the various intercollegiate athletic contests.It is the desire of those in authority in all our institutions to encourage athletic games, provided thesegames can be properly conducted. The recent ruleswhich have been adopted seek to remedy the evilsthat have existed. If these rules are administered inthe spirit which has prompted their formulation goodresults may be expected. Intercollegiate contestscannot continue to be justified unless they are purgedand purified. In this connection The University congratulates itself upon the good health which has existed in the faculty and among the students duringthe scholastic year thus far advanced. There has beenno case of death or even of serious illness.Events of Special Interest.On February 20 and 21 a Missionary Convocation.was held at The University by the secretaries of 'theAmerican Baptist Home Mission Society, and participated in by professors, missionaries, pastors, andothers. The meeting was held especially in the inter-UNIVERSITY RECORD 9est of the Divinity School, whose ordinary exerciseswere consequently suspended. Through seven sessions students and citizens gave thoughtful andenthusiastic reception to the weighty matters whichwere discussed by men whose training and experiencefitted them to speak with intelligence and authority.America as a mission field was brought under reviewin a series of addresses, in which the dependence ofour national institutions on New Testament Christianity was clearly shown, and in which from the calland ministry of Jesus Christ and from a comparisonof the exigencies of ancient Israel and modern America, the Divine vocation of American missions wasimpressively urged. Due consideration was given toour Indian, Colored, and Foreign populations, to theold and the new West, and to the marvelous growthand strategic importance of modern cities. The convocation greatly stimulated the patriotic, educational,and missionary spirit, and profoundly impressed uponall the difficulty and solemnity of the task and dutyimposed upon Christian patriots in the building of anation.The annual celebration of the 22d of February, inhonor of Washington's birthday, was held in KentTheatre. The address was given by Hon. TheodoreRoosevelt, of New York. His subject was "MunicipalReform." Washington dealt with the pressing needsof his day with great practical wisdom. In his spiritof unselfish patriotism we should deal with the pressing needs of our own day. Of these needs none ismore gravely urgent than that of civic reform. Mr.Roosevelt was heard with profound interest. Thehigher education, if it means anything, means thorough interest in good local government.On March 17, the students of the graduating classand their friends were favored by the presence of SirHenry Irving, who addressed The University upon thecharacter of Macbeth. The kindness and courtesyof Mr. Irving, upon this occasion, were only surpassedby the charm of his eloquence, and the intellectualstrength exhibited in the treatment of his subject.The Summer Quarter.The arrangements for the Summer Quarter of 1896have been completed and the special circular of information published.

Carpenter.The meetings are held upon Tuesday evening of thethird, seventh, and eleventh weeks of each quarter,in Cobb Lecture Hall, Boom B 8, at 8:00 p.m.The English Club aims to supplement the regularwork of the Department of English. Its plan is topresent and discuss matters important for the department as a whole, and to afford an intellectual andsocial center for all interested in the work in English.Its usual program consists of papers and discussionsby members, by specialists in other departments, andby others not connected with The University. Reviewand journal meetings for the critical discussion ofcurrent literature are held from time to time, andthere are occasionally programs of still another sort,such as the recent Keat's Anniversary Meeting of theClub, or social receptions to distinguished visitors.Membership is open to all instructors and fellows ofOn the Osteology and Belationships of Protostegagigas.by b. c. case.The object of the thesis was twofold: First, to describe previously unknown parts of the animal. Second, to determine itsrelations to the remaining extinct and the living sea-turtles .Protostega gigas, an extinct turtle from the Niobrara Cretaceous of Kansas, was originally described by Cope in the Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society in 1872, fromfragmentary plastron, limb and skull bones. This thesis describes complete plastron bones, peripherals, pelvic and pectoralarches, humerus, femur and forearm (?) bones and a nearly complete skull, the only parts missing being the distal portions ofthe limbs and the vertebrae.Prior to the year 1870 all sea-turtles were regarded as belonging together in one group. In 1871 Cope separated the existingform Dermochelys or Leather-back turtle from the remainingturtles and placed it in the group Athecce, characterized by thelack of any carapace. In 1886 Dollo designated all the remaining turtles as a single group, the Thecophora or those havinga carapace. In 1886, the same year as Dollo's paper, Baur published a note claiming that the separation of Dermochelys fromthe other sea-turtles was an absolutely artificial one and that itwas merely a specialized form.By comparing the very complete specimens at hand with specimens and descriptions of living and extinct forms of the sea-turtles the author has shown that Baur's view is the correct oneand that Protostega (Cope) is an intermediate form betweenthe primitive, fossil Cheloniidce and the living Dermochelydce.The evidence for this conclusion is summarized as follows :1. The bones of the head of Dermochelys are referable to thoseof the Cheloniidce. The intermediate form is Protostega. the department, ex officio, and to all graduate studentswho will hand their names to the Secretary of theClub.

The.fourth is biconvex and the articular surfaces between the 6thand 7th are plane.3. The plastron of Dermochelys is a reduced form of the plastron of the early Cheloniidce. The intermediate stages are represented by Protostega and Protosphar gis.4. The carapace is composed of dermal ossifications. They appeared after the bony carapace had disappeared, by ossificationof the integument. The original carapace was removed by the .enlargement of the lateral fontanelles. An intermediate stagewith the carapace gone and the separate ossifications not yetformed is represented by Protostega and Protosphargis.5. The process of the appearance of the peripherals is knownin all stages.6. The muchal plate of Dermochelys is provided with a process for articulation with the last cervical. This process is,absent in Protostega and present in the Cheloniidce. The planof development could not have included, in the time occupied,its loss and subsequent reacquisition. The line of Dermochelysrather took origin after the process was developed in the mainline of the Cheloniidce.** Presented to the Department of Palaeontology for theDegree of Doctor of Philosophy, March 1896.On a Difference in the Metabolism of the Sexes.BY W. I. THOMAS.The habit of the plant is predominantly anabolic, that of theanimal predominantly katabolic. The same relation existsbetween the sexes: the female is anabolic, expending littleenergy, and living at a profit ; the male is katabolic, expendingenergy rapidly, and living at a loss. Physiological, anatomical.LITERARY.Abstracts of Theses.20 UNIVERSITY RECORDethnological and demographic data show that the fundamentaldifferences between man and woman are expressions of this difference of attitude toward the food-process.Femaleness is a result of plentiful and maleness of scantynourishment. An anabolic surplus, preparatory to the katabolicprocess of reproduction, is stored at an earlier period in the femalethan in the male, and this period is retarded in the ill-nourishedfemale. A mixture of blood, i. e., a crossing of stocks, has aneffect on the organism similar to that of heightened nutrition;and a mixture of blood produces a numerical excess of females,while interbreeding produces an excess of males. The tendencyto the destructive side of metabolism expresses itself in thegreater variability of the male. Woman, indeed, is to beregarded as a type intermediate between the infant and man.The variational tendency of man expresses itself not only in asomatic development fitting him for greater bursts of energy,but also in a greater number of disadvantageous variations —defects and abnormalities. The number of red blood corpusclesand the amount of haemoglobin are greater in the blood ofman than of woman ; and these are closely associated with thekatobolic process. The waste products of the body are greaterin the male than in the female, in consequence of the morerapid destruction of energy in the male. The anabolic nature ofwoman expresses itself in her greater tendency to put on fat, hergreater tolerance of surgical treatment, her greater resistance todisease, and her greater tolerance of pain and misery, as shownin a low rate of suicide from physical suffering. The anabolic; surplus of woman is disposed of in the processes connected withThe Modern Literary Movement.*Our age is characterized by scientific curiosity, which is;.another term for systematized love for truth. Hence realismin literature and in art is the natural product of the times.Flaubert, Balzac, Zola, Ibsen and their followers, and theimpressionists try (with only partial success) to give us nothingbut the truth. The scientific spirit is not favorable to thehighest art, for the scientist is a collector, the artist a chooser.Absence of artistic tact in "choosing" is exhibited especially by'Zola. With these inartistic tendencies are closely connectedvulgarity and lack of proportion in manners, in speech, etc.The age is characterized by consistent stylelessness. This again•reacts on literature. Furthermore the attacks of science on traditions have produced in many mental unrest, and a morbiditywhich is helped by the fact that modern life overstrains the^average man. Modern literature reflects this morbidity strik-:ingly in Guy de Maupassant, and others. No age was fartherremoved from the healthy refinement of the Greeks. Yet theromantic tendencies against which realism is a reaction are notdead, as is proved by writers like Stevenson, the Frenchsymbolists, and on a large scale by Wagner.Discouragement about modern literature is only verypartially justified. Science (including the historical sciences)daily increases our intellectual maturity and insight, andinvents or discovers physical and ethical antidotes and remedies. She never will make everybody happy (nothing ever will)but her maturing influence paves the way for a healthier anddeeper form of realism, as is already exhibited by George/Meredith, and younger writers, especially, if I am not mistaken,In America and Norway.-Delivered before the Graduate Schools, January 15, 1896,fey Dr. Camillo von Klenze. reproduction — menstruation, gestation and lactation. Beforepuberty the anabolic tendency of woman expresses itself in astrikingly high vitality, as shown by the fact that 125 boys to 100girls die during the first year of life ; after the period of reproduction it expresses itself in an access of brain growth aftersixty years, in a heightened specific gravity of the blood, and ingreater longevity than is shown by man. The superior affectability of woman is due to the fact that the viscera are the seatof the emotions, and that her abdominal zone is largelydeveloped in connection with the process of reproduction.Social structure and function are conditioned by this differ- *ence in the metabolism of the sexes. Altruistic or social senti-m ents are developed primarily in connection with the reproductive process. Woman's anabolic surplus is converted into offspring, and in love of offspring we have the beginning of socialfeeling, while in ties of blood we have the beginning of socialorganization. That woman is the leader of social sentiment andof social organization is due to the activity of the processeswhose seat is in the abdominal zone. Art represents, in themain, either the disruptive, militant nature of man, or thesocial nature of woman. The great contrast between the militant and industrial types of society is a social expression of thissexual contrast. Man's katabolic disposition predisposed himto activity and violence. Woman's anabolic disposition predisposed her to a stationary life, and industrialism and technologyare the continuation of the industries of primitive woman.** Presented to the Department of Sociology for the Degree ofDoctor of Philosophy, March 1896.The Sciences as Culture-Studies.*Culture implies the completest development of mental powernot the mere accretion of knowledge, the fullest development ofcharacter, and not the mere accumulation of accomplishments.It is won by the patient effort of a lifetime.Among the essential elements of culture a prominent placeis assigned to independence of judgment and freedom fromthe tyranny of unassimilated book-knowledge and masses offact acquired at second or third hand. It is claimed thatthese are precisely the features which the study of science inthe laboratory can contribute, and that science is an indispensable part of any course of education since it is superior toother studies in the facility with which it can make this special contribution to culture.The college course should lay the groundwork of culture —the subsequent life should be devoted to the erection of thesuperstructure.A general outline of the field covered by Physics, Chemistry,Botany and Zoology, with such indication of the modes ofthought and work in these sciences as might be attempted inlectures without the student's actual contact with the phe-• nomena of the sciences in the laboratory, does not confer realknowledge, and such a course forms no part of a college curriculum intended to supply a basis for culture. It would be adirect stimulus to the vices of relying on authority and swallowing facts whole which it is the preeminent quality of the properstudy of science to combat. In the point of view of informationthe study of several sciences for a few weeks each might besuperior to the more thorough study of one, but the latter plan.has an educative value incomparably greater than the former.* Delivered before the University Colleges, February 19, 1896,by Assistant Professor Smith.Abstracts of Addresses.UNIVERSITY RECORD 21Economy of Power.*1. Nature's scrupulous economy in turning the products ofdecay to the purposes of new life, often involving the temporarydisappearance of matter and force and their later reappearanceunder different forms, is epitomized in the modern doctrine ofthe conservation of energy. ¦, #2. The need of taking our cue from nature in the performanceof our human tasks is triple and based upon : (a) The brevityof life ; (&) The rapid increase in the legitimate demands uponour attention, and, (c) The unhappiness caused ourselves andothers by the helter-skelter discharge of our duty.3. We fail in this for various reasons, among which we note :(a) Diffuseness of effort. Senseless imitation of the juggler,who keeps five balls in the air at once, (b) Lack of definiteLogical Methods in Literary Criticism.[Being the Introduction to "A History of EnglishCritical Terms."]J. W. BRAY.I. What is a Critical Term ?There are two elementary uses of critical terms : (a) As thepredicate of an" aesthetic " judgment ; (6) as the predicate ofthe " scientific " type of judgment, represented by the two formsof statement :(a) This poem is sublime.(b) This poem has sublimity.The first is synthetic, the second analytic. The predicate ofthe first is identified with the subject ; the second is not. Hencethe first type possesses the most fundamental literary andcritical significance. The two types are indispensable and supplementary to each other. The analytic type presents and discriminates "possibilities," the aesthetic type "appropriates"these possibilities. A word possesses the full force of a criticalterm only when it is the predicate of the aesthetic type of judgment.In actual criticism these elementary types of judgment arevaried:1. From grammatical modifications of the copula. 2. Fromthe analytic tendency in the subject of judgment. Instead of"some unified portion of literary work," there is placed as subject: (a) the language; (6) some former predicate, e. g., "simplicity;" (c) the thought; (d) the general "tone," "air,""style," etc. 3. From figurative tendency in both subject andpredicate. In the subject the author is substituted for the literary work; in the predicate figurative terms are continuallyintroduced which represent : (a) mental traits of the author, (6)of the reader, (c) characteristics of other arts than literature,(d) well-known conceptions in ordinary life. If a word persistsas the predicate of the aesthetic type of judgment, it must beregarded as a critical term j the sporadic terms are mere "possibilities." *II. Historical tendencies and movements in critical terms :(a) As terms become permanently established, they tend bothto "schematize" other critical terms, by synonymous use, bycontrast and by inclusion ; and also to pass into the subject, anddesignate a class or species, or general division of literature.(b) A distinction is constantly to be drawn between theoretical and applied criticism. Applied criticism is the final testof a term's meaning, but the theory of a term may (a) controlits application in individual authors; (j3) accompany the gen- plan. Inefficiency of even well-meant sporadic effort, (c) Procrastination, a habit productive of such a flabby mental fiber, asto render us impotent, even in face of the great occasion of ourlives, (d) Quixotic devotion to an ever shifting series of " enthusiasms." Inability to attack problems at all, save when blindedto their real extent by an ephemeral inspiration amountingalmost to intoxication ; (e) Failure to see that idle powers, likeswords, rust in the scabbard. Life is activity ; idleness is death.4. Past and current revelations of the undreamed-of potencies of even our physical surroundings are an eloquent rebuke toour average slipshod, humdrum performance. The brotherhood of man makes criminal a waste that would perhaps besimply asinine if we really lived unto ourselves alone.* Delivered before the Academic Colleges, February 26, 1896,by Associate Professor Cutting.eral current usage of a word ; or (y) derived from the past usageof a term.(c) Change of terms from the rhetorical to the aesthetic orpsychological point of view ; from the literary work consideredas a completed product, to the literary work, thought of as beingactively produced or more passively appreciated.(d) Change in terms from the indefinite to the definite. Fourstages: (a) isolated terms in the predicate unexplained; (j3)synonyms ; (y) contrasting terms ; (5) terms fully explained.(e) Stages in favorable use of terms: (a) negative recognition ; (j8) active use ; (y) retrospective ; (S) decay and completecondemnation.Some Present Aspects of the Theory of Evolution.NOEMAN WYLD.The essence of Darwinism is the insistance on the effects ofthe natural selection or elimination of the least fitted. By thisprocess the perfection of adaptation is explained. Darwin hadno theory of the origin of variations ; he supposed them to beindeterminate in direction and slight in extent, so that the survivors of any number of successive generations would form acontinuous series. But he assumed, though in the course of timewith less and less certainty, the inheritance of the characters acquired by organisms, both from the direct effect of the environment upon them and from the changes that came in their structure from their own efforts. If such effects were inherited, variation would be, to that extent, determinate.Fleming Jenkin, Wagner and Romanes added to Darwinismthe insistance on the need for isolation, if divergence is to beexplained.Weismann contributed a theory of heredity, the continuity ofthe germ plasm. He denied that the inheritance of acquiredcharacters had been proved. He argued that it was improbable.He furnished a theory of the origin of variations by means ofsexual mixture, reducing division during the maturation of theovum, and the indirect effects of the environment on themetazoa and the direct effects on the protozoa. He, therefore,makes natural selection the only factor in determining the pathof evolution.The present standpoint of many evolutionists is to think ofgrowth, reproduction and heredity as facts to be assumed andexplained at leisure. They speak of the causes of incompleteheredity or variation, as the primary factors in evolution ; of thecauses of elimination of certain variations as the secondary factors ; of the causes of isolation as the tertiary factors.Abstracts of Papers.Read Before the Philological Society and the Departmental Clubs.22 UNIVERSITY REG ORBThey see that if it can be shown that variation is determinateto any extent, or discontinuous to any extent, to that degree isselection of less importance than Weismann supposes it to be.They agree that there is some evidence that variation may be bothdeterminate and discontinuous? They study the nature of variation. They attempt to distinguish between true variation, orchanges in the character of the stock, and modifications, inducedin the individual by environment. They recognize that if thisbe a true distinction, then inquiry into the causes of variationsis as yet premature. The Didactic Dialogues of Old English.P. A.

Abstracts of Religious Addresses.The Spirit and Method of Biblical Criticism.1. The Bible is not to be treated like other books. Its history and work clearly forbid this. An honorable man does notexamine a charge of forgery against a father or wife in the samestate of mind with which he would investigate a similar chargeif made against an entire stranger or one known to be of evil or-worthless life. A presumption in favor of authenticity, integrity and truthfulness has been established by centuries of effective labor for the good of men. This must be broken down bysome evidence before the Bible is to be judged as modern works-of real, doubtful or no value. It is fair to presume that a bookwhich makes men honest is not composed of forgeries. TheBible is unique in character and effect : it is rational to suppose that it is so in origin, but whether this supposition be trueor false it is evident that it must be judged " not as other books-are" but as " such" books are if other such there be.2. The question of spirit and method is all important. Conclusions are trifles light as air in comparison. Errors of inference may be corrected but an erroneous method is a perennialfountain of falsehood and renders valueless, conclusions whichchance to be correct.3. The method of biblical criticism must be level to the comprehension of all honest, intelligent, busy men. A method whichaddresses itself solely to those who have leisure for speculationis self -condemned. The vast majority of the human race toil fordaily bread. A method of criticism which shuts them out from,knowledge as to what is Grod's Word is necessarily vicious andtfalse.4. A true method must recognize the supremacy of the HolySpirit, in the domain of things spiritual. Spiritual things arespiritually discerned. A devout man who is not learned will be*a better judge of Scripture than a vain, proud, self-conceitedscholar. Those who live near to God know his voice. This is not,to affirm that scholars are none of them devout. It is to affirmthat devotion is the means of knowledge concerning the Bible.rather than the study of books.5. A true method will recognize Jesus Christ and his apostles as the best earthly witnesses concerning the authorship ofthe Old Testament Scriptures. (1) Because of their nativity .-(2) Because of their language. (3) Because of the scholarship*of their age. (4) Because they were 2000 years nearer the bookthan are we. (5) Because Jesus Christ was Grod, and his apostles were inspired.6. What is now called higher criticism violates all thesecanons. It is essentially conjectural. This permits endless variation but no conclusion. Even agreement signifies only similarity in guesses. If one hundred persons guess that there arefifty thousand beans in a jar we must still wait the count and.meanwhile others may guess. In like manner men may guessabout "documents" or "unknown writers." It costs nothingand may be continued indefinitely.7. But will the conjectural method injure the Bible? Ofcourse not. But it will injure those who practice it and thosewho are influenced by them. The mythical theory concerningthe gospels did not injure the gospels but did injure those whobelieved and preached it while they should have been busydeclaring their message as religious teachers.UNIVERSITY RECORD 258. But must we not then study the Bible? Undoubtedly. Butchiefly to learn what it requires and how we may do it.
