The Calendar 236plished, through your munificent gifts, in the past fiveyears; gifts whose unparalleled generosity has beendoubled in value by their intelligent designation andthe high wisdom of their conditions.Much is before us waiting to be done, but marvelous indeed is the work that has been wrought. We ofChicago feel much pride in the visible evidences ofthis great enterprise, but they are, I believe, only theprophecy of a future greatness far excelling thepresent. Let us all, Founder, Trustees, and Officers,thank God and take courage.Head Professor Northrup D.D., LL.D., spoke onbehalf of the Divinity School as follows :The Divinity School has special reasons for joiningin the services in honor of the founder of The University of Chicago. The Divinity School, or rather theTheological Seminary as it was formerly known, hadEntered in the postoffice Chicago, Illinois, as second-class matter.atrUresses attfc papers.The Quinquennial Celebration.I. Greetings.222 UNIVERSITY RECORDaccomplished a history of twenty-five years at the timeThe University was organized, having at the close ofthis period a faculty of ten men, nearly 200 students,a library of 25,000 volumes, a body of 800 alumni andproperty to the amount of several hundred thousanddollars. Our object in making this statement is thefact, known to but few who are present, that one ofthe chief agents in securing these results was thehonored founder of The University.After a struggle of fifteen years — a strugglerendered exceptionally severe by the burning of Chicago and a long period of almost unparalleled financialdepression, the Theological Seminary reached the mostserious crisis in its history. The old methods of carrying on our work could no longer be relied upon. Itseemed necessary, in order to insure our continuedexistence to attempt to raise an endowment fund of atleast $200,000. The first half of this sum was securedlargely through the liberality of one whom we all holdin very high esteem — Mr. E. Nelson Blake. It was atthis time, in May 1882 — fourteen years ago — when therepresentatives of the Theological Seminary, in continuing the financial work undertaken, were favoredwith their first interview with Mr. Rockefeller, in hisoffice in New York. And from that time till theinstitution ceased to have a separate existence — aperiod of nine or ten years — he gave to it liberally andfrequently ; his first pledge being $£0,000 and his last$50,000, made but a few months before the beginningof negotiations for union with The University. Tothe best of our recollection and belief never, in a singleinstance, during all those years, did he fail to respondfavorably to any appeal which we saw fit to make. Itis true, as is well remembered, that we never venturedto make any other than very candid and sober statements. We never. indulged in any pyrotechnics.Since the Theological Seminary became the DivinitySchool of The University it has, as is well knowTn, sharedliberally in the gifts of the founder of The University.And it is our judgment that the advantages offeredhere for a theological education, such as the timesdemand, are excelled by those of no other institutionin the country, and furthermore it is our belief thatThe University is destined to become a theologicalcenter of unsurpassed power and influence.In representing the Divinity School as we do on thisoccasion there are two facts which afford us specialgratification. The first is the fact that the claims ofthe institution which we had in charge were so presented and its affairs so managed by the trustees thatMr. Rockefeller's confidence was gained, and, as wehave reason to believe, was retained till the last — afact of no small significance in connection with the success of the vast scheme of education at this point,which was brought before his mind at a later date.The second fact referred to is that the school oftheology — the school whose aim it is to train men forthe Christian ministry, to be wise and efficientleaders in the work of advancing the cause of Christianity—is that department of The University whichcalled forth the first of those extraordinary gifts whichwe cannot but believe are certain to lead to the establishment here of a university, which, for breadth andpower and influence, will be second to none in theworld. To found such an institution, at such a centerof power, in such an age, is to do a service in furtherance of all the permanent and higher interests ofmankind, the importance of which no man can comprehend, or easily overstate.Head Professor Judson, A.M., LL.D., spoke on behalfof the Faculties of Arts, Literature, and Science:Mr. Rockefeller, on behalf of the Faculties ofArts, Literature and Science, I tender you greeting.It is quite true that a university does not primarilyconsist in stately buildings or in magnificent endowments, but rather in wealth of intellectual and moralideas of which the institution is the focus. But withthe tremendous deepening of the intensity of moderncivilization, educational conditions, too, are revolutionized. A college of mere ideas would be a disembodiedspirit — a sort of educational ghost, without means ofbringing the will or the intelligence to bear on thetangible world. The bon mot of Garfield — that a collegegood enough for him would be a log in the forest,with himself on one end and Mark Hopkins on theother — does not express the whole truth of our day.Were Mark Hopkins alive, he would be the first toinsist that his log should be transformed into alibrary and a laboratory. In short, the same largeness of view which characterizes modern business, isessential for the equipment of modern education.And we greet our founder as one whose sagacityclearly grasped this vital thought — the thought whichunderlies The University of Chicago.Again, I tender you the greeting of the Faculties.Henry Love Clarke, on behalf of the students of TheUniversity, spoke as follows :Mr. Rockefeller, a great educational institution, agreat university has a twofold aim. As an institutionof learning it is the discoverer and guardian of truth;as an educational institution, it is a maker of men.The learning of her faculties stands for the guardianship of truth. Her students are the men whom TheUNIVERSITY RECORD 223University through the light she may give is makingfor better or for worse. The University's foundinggave to the faculty an opportunity; it gave to herstudents and is giving to them day by day the abilitywith which to find and to use opportunities. Are wegrateful to the man who with others, but more thanall others, has made The University possible ! Gratitude is too narrow a word for the deeper, more vitalfeeling we bear toward him whose work wTe know isdaily remoulding, deepening, shapening the wholeinner meaning and character of our lives. And to meethim face to face means more to us than simply he iswelcome. It means that knowing him through theinfluence his good work has had upon us there comesnow at least the possibility of knowing him as a friendFollowing the addresses of welcome to the Founderof The University, the President announced that Mr.Rockefeller had consented to respond.Mr. Rockefeller spoke as follows :Mr. President, The Board of Trustees, Ladiesand Gentlemen :It is a great pleasure for me to be present. It is avery great pleasure to have had any part with you inthis most important work. It is known perhaps tosome of you that some eight or ten years ago an effortwas made to establish in the city of New York anadditional university. That question was under consideration for a number of years. At last it wasdecided that the place for The University was Chicago.I have never had any question since that time respecting that decision [applause]. It is due to you of Chicago, to your enterprising business men, to your public-spirited men to say that in no other city on thiscontinent, in no other city in the round world couldthere have been accomplished what you have accomplished. I remember in the beginning, in conversationwith your President, I was to have the relation of asilent partner. The gentlemen who are accustomed in that deeper, closer, personal sense that may berealized but not put in words.For the graduate students, among whom are thosewho are working towards specialization in specialbranches of learning, who, therefore, will come in contact with the more ideal aspect of the problems of life,and for the younger graduate students, among whomare those who perhaps may be giving closer attentionto the commonplace things of life;— for both of thesestudent groups I extend to Mr. Rockefeller a greetingwhich means that we trust in the bottom of our heartsthat this first visit is but the beginning of a closerand more personal friendship between him and TheUniversity student body, between him and the men heis making.to business terms know that in business we have twopartnerships, the one a general co-partnership and theother a special partnership. In this firm, which hasnow assumed such great importance, I was to be thesilent partner. I have it to say with pleasure that thecovenant which was made with me has been kept five,six, seven years, more or less. I have nothing againstthe President [applause and laughter]. He got mehere, but I assure you that nothing could give megreater pleasure than to look in your faces and contemplate what you have done. I want to thank yourBoard of Trustees, your President, and all who haveshared in this most wonderful beginning. It is but a beginning [great applause], and you are going on ; youhave the privilege to complete it, you and your sons anddaughters. I believe in the work. It is the bestinvestment I ever made in my life. Why shouldn'tpeople give to The University of Chicago money, time,their best efforts ? Why not ? It is the grandestopportunity ever presented. Where were gatheredever a better Board of Trustees, a better Faculty ? Iam profoundly, profoundly thankful that I had anything to do with this affair [laughter]. The good Lordgave me the money, and how could I withhold it fromChicago ?II. The Response.224 UNIVERSITY RECORDIBtrucattottaLTHE PRESIDENT'S STATEMENT ON THE CONDITION OF THE UNIVERSITY.For the Spring Quarter, 1896.Mr. Rockefeller, Trustees, Colleagues, Alumniof the University, Students, and Friends:It is my privilege to present this afternoon the fifteenth quarterly statement on the condition of TheUniversity. The statement will be limited as usualto a review of the more important events in the history of The University during the quarter which closedJune 30.Buildings and Grounds.The Haskell Oriental Museum has been completed.The dedicatory exercises, in which Oriental scholars ofsister institutions will participate, will occur tomorrow. The fund given by Mrs. Haskell for the erectionof a building has been sufficient to make provision fora very considerable amount of museum material, illustrative of ancient art and life. The Convocationaddress to which we have just listened with suchpleasure, was arranged with special reference to thisdedication. The friends of The University are invitedto be present at the formal acceptance of the museumtomorrow afternoon, and at the reception to thevisiting Oriental scholars, tomorrow evening.The Quadrangle Club.We all rejoice in the completion of the QuadrangleClub House. A large debt of gratitude is due to theofficers and members of the Club who, with suchsteady persistence, have overcome obstacles, and exhibited in so tangible a way their spirit of loyalty tothe best interests of The University. The energywhich has accomplished this large undertaking, andthe taste which has been exhibited in every part of thework will command the respect and admiration ofeveryone.The Yerkes Observatory,Of which mention has been made in perhaps everyone of the fifteen quarterly statements, is rapidlyapproaching completion. The opening of the Observatory will be celebrated with appropriate exercises inthe second week of October. Notwithstanding themany detailed reports of the Observatory which havebeen published far and wide, the beauty of the situation, the completeness and elegance of the Observatoryitself, and the magnificence of the great 40-inch telescope, will not be fully appreciated until they haveactually been seen. At the dedication, provision will be made by which every member of The University,student, and instructor, who desire, may visit theObservatory.The Hull Biological Laboratories.After nearly seven months of unceasing labor on thepart of professors, building committee, and architect,the foundations have been laid for the four HullBiological Laboratories. It is my great privilege toinvite you to be present at the laying of the cornerstones of these laboratories next Friday afternoon atfour o'clock. Upon this occasion the principaladdress will be delivered by an eminent scientist,Professor George Lincoln Goodale, of Harvard University, and appropriate corner-stone addresses will bedelivered by representatives of the departments. Ayear from this time, if all goes well, we shall be able toopen these buildings for scientific work.Gifts.The University has been the recipient during thepast ninety days of the following gifts : (1) Booksfrom various publishers and friends to the number of1155 volumes and 600 pamphlets. (2) From Mrs.Charles R. Crane, the sum of $250, for special workin connection with the Practice School of the Pedagogical department. (3) From Mrs. N. B. Linn, theguarantee of $2,500, for the maintenance of the Practice School of the Pedagogical department during theyear 1896-7. (4) From Miss Helen Culver, the sumof $25,000, as an additional sum toward the erectionof the Hull Biological Laboratories, the total cost ofwhich will be $325,000, instead of $300,000. (5) Frommembers of the Chicago Commercial Club, throughits trustees, of which Mr. E. W. Blatchford is president, the Chicago Manual Training School, with itsproperty on Michigan avenue, and an.endowment fundbequeathed by Mr. John Crerar, the whole estimatedat $250,000.The gifts of Mrs. Crane and Mrs. Linn make it possible to continue work in one of the most importantdepartments of The University. It is our desire to dofor the work of the Department of Pedagogy whathas not been undertaken in any other institution.These gifts were most timely, for otherwise the Practice School must have been discontinued for lack offunds.UNIVERSITY RECORD 225The additional gift of Miss Culver makes it possibleto build the laboratories as they were originallyplanned. Without this gift it would have been necessary either to have omitted altogether one of thefour buildings, or to have reduced the size or scientificcompleteness of all.We appreciate very keenly the mark of confidenceshown by the members of the Commercial Club intransferring to the care of The University of Chicagothe Chicago Manual Training School, in which themembers of the Club have shown such interest intimes past. The work of this school has been mostsignificant in the history of educational work in theMississippi Valley. In its conduct of the school TheUniversity begins its technological work. It is notinappropriate at this point to express the hope that atan early date it will be possible to organize in its fullness the work of a technological school.

The Senior Council has consisted of Henry Gordon Gale, chairman, J. E. Ray-croft, Edith Foster, H. A. Peterson, G. A. Bliss, HelenCrafts, and P. B. Davis ; the Junior Council, of M. B.Frutchey, chairman, F. D. Nichols, J. F. Hagey,Maurice Lee, M. G. Clarke, J. C. Curtiss. TheseCouncils have considered in connection with thestudent body several important questions. AmongUNIVERSITY RECORD 227these are (1) that of the honor system, the adoption ofwhich would do away with all inspection of examinations on the part of instructors, (2) the relations of TheUniversity to other universities in matters of intercollegiate oratorical contests and debates, (3) thequestion of fuller student representation in the management of the athletics of The University. No definiteaction has been taken by the student bodies uponthese questions, but the discussion which has followedtheir presentation has already exerted a good influence.The various divisions of the Senior Colleges haveunited during the Quarter and the weekly lecture hasbeen given by Professor T. C. Chamberlin upon " FirstForms of Life. "The success of this introductory course of lecturesfurnishes ground for the belief that the general policyhas been favorably received. During the SummerQuarter the students of the Senior Colleges will bepermitted to select from the general lectures providedfor in the regular curriculum.Board of Student Organizations.The new board appointed to supervise studentorganizations and publications has made a beginningin its work, and in accordance with the rules established by the faculties, has recognized as UniversityHouses the following :On the Quadrangles: 1. South Divinity House,2. Middle Divinity House, 3. Graduate House, 4.Snell House, 5. Beecher House, 6. Kelly House, 7.Nancy Foster House.Off the Quadrangles: 1. Alpha Delta Phi House,2. Beta Theta Pi House, 3. Delta Kappa EpsilonHouse, 4. Phi Kappa Psi House, 5. Sigma NuHouse.This board will also undertake to apply more strictlyhereafter the rules relating to the participation inpublic exhibitions on the part of students who havefailed in a course of study. In this connection attention may be called to two evils with which deans andinstructors are most earnestly requested to contend.These are the disposition on the part of the student topostpone the passing off of entrance conditions, and toregister for elective courses before having finished therequired courses prescribed in the curriculum. Avigorous application of the rules already prescribedwill soon check what must be regarded as seriousevils.The University Extension Division.The new director of the University ExtensionDivision, Professor James, with the assistance of thesecretaries of the various departments, and with thecooperation of the instructors, has greatly improved the plans of organization in the division, and madepossible a recognized v strengthening of the UniversityExtension work. Too many University Extensioncentres have been organized without a basis whichwould guarantee" their continuance. In the development of this work, the contention must always be forstability and permanence. In the new plans thesethings have been kept in mind. It is also our desireto make it possible for a larger number of the teachersin Chicago schools to avail themselves of the opportunities afforded by The University.Athletics.The success of the Athletic work of The Universityhas been more marked than ever before. The easterntrip of the ball team was upon the whole fairly satisfactory. I make no apology for referring to the workof the team in this official statement. The athleticwork of the students is a vital part of the studentlife. Under the proper restrictions it is a real andessential part of college education. The athletic field,like the gymnasium, is one of the University laboratories and by no means the least important one. Theparent whose son has distinguished himself in an athletic team has good reason to be proud of the son'sachievement. It may not be denied that evils arise inconnection with the work, but this is the fault of themanagement, not of the work itself. I congratulatethe parent whose son is on the baseball team or thefootball team, as I will congratulate myself if my sonshould be accorded the honor. But here as elsewheremuch depends upon the attendant circumstances. Ifthe work is not amateur work in the strictest sense,nothing that I have said is true. If the life of the menis not of the highest character, all the higher because ofpeculiar temptations resisted, nothing that I have saidis true. If the intellectual work of the men in theirvarious departments is not of high order, nothing thatI have said is true. That in The University of Chicago the first of these requirements will be observed,we may well trust the Board of Physical Culture andAthletics, whose business it is to guard with jealouscare the purity of college athletics. In the director ofthe work, Mr. Stagg, we have an example of earnestand conscientious manhood which exerts a powerfulinfluence upon the men themselves toward right conduct and right living. Of the twelve men engaged onthe baseball team, including substitutes, one has hadthe record of A, six the record of B, four the record ofC, one the record of D.To our guests, the members of the Brown Universityteam, we extend our heartiest welcome. Their comingto Chicago marks an important step in the history ofcollege athletics. The good spirit which has prevailed228 UNIVERSITY RECORDand the character of the work of both teams is something of which the Universities represented may wellbe proud.The University Record.The University Record has been published weeklyduring the quarter. It has included important articleswhich were thought to be of interest to those directlyor indirectly connected with educational work. It hasaimed to give officially the life of The University in itsvarious departments. The Record is intended tosupply the trustees, the members of the faculties, thestudents, and particularly the friends of The University at a distance, with a correct statement concerningeverything of importance which transpires at TheUniversity. The expense of publication has beengreater than was anticipated. It will be necessarythat the subscription list be largely increased if thepublication is continued. It is expected that everyalumnus will become a subscriber to the Record inorder that he may thus keep himself in touch withthe work of The University. Is it too much to hopethat the friends of The University who are interestedin its progress, and who desire to become acquaintedwith its work, shall also become subscribers for theperiodical ?Particular attention is invited to the special numbers of The Biblical World and The School Review,published in June. The subscription list of everyjournal of The University is growing steadily. Thework of the Department of Publication has becomeso large that the facilities at our command haveproved to be utterly inadequate. One of our greatestneeds is a building or portion of a building for thepresses, composition room, bindery, and proper provision for the editorial work of The University publications.Cooperation.The following schools up to present date have entered into cooperation with The University: Thefourteen High Schools of Chicago ; Ottawa TownshipHigh School ; Rockford High School ; West Aurora High School ; East Aurora High School ; Lyons Township High School ; Moline High School ; MilwaukeeHigh School, E.S. ; Classical School for Girls, Indianapolis ; Keokuk, la., High School ; IndianapolisHigh School No. 1, Industrial Training School, Indianapolis ; Denver High School ; Dubuque, la., HighSchool ; Rock Island High School ; Omaha HighSchool; Minneapolis High School, E.S. ; MinneapolisHigh School, Central ; Peoria High School ; Springfield High School; Shattuck School, Faribault,Minn.; Michigan Military Academy.No new affiliations have been made during thequarter. In the affiliated schools of The Universitythere have been enrolled during the year closing July1, 1896, 950 preparatory students, and 194 college students.The University Settlement.The University Settlement is an essential part of TheUniversity life. A forward step has been taken in themore permanent organization of the work. Newfriends have presented themselves and the prospectsfor the coming year are brighter than ever before.Conclusion.In closing this statement, it is a source of satisfaction to be able to say that the health of students andmembers of the faculty has been for the most partmost excellent. We regret that two of our head professors are absent on account of illness, Mr. von Hoistin Germany and Mr. Donaldson in Colorado. But weare encouraged to believe that both will return to usin due time with full restoration of health and <strength.The preparations which have been made during theSpring Quarter for the work of the Summer Quartershow evidence of receiving fuU appreciation on thepart of the many new students who have come to us.To those who are strangers with us today we extenda hearty welcome, and we trust they will soon feelthat -their new home is indeed a home.(JMcial Ectums, Notices, attir Mqports-The Board of Trustees:The following statute has been enacted :The University Congregation consists of suchpersons of the following classes as have been dulyregistered : (1) Officers of Administration andInstruction of the rank of Instructor and above; (2)OFFICIAL ACTIONS.Doctors of Philosophy of The University of Chicago ;(3) Bachelors of Divinity of The University ofChicago of three years standing, Masters of Arts,Philosophy, and Science of The University of Chicagoof Hyq years standing, Bachelors of Arts, Philosophy,UNIVERSITY RECORD 229and Science of The University of Chicago of ten yearsstanding, under the following conditions, viz.: Notmore than five from the- Bachelors of Divinity, andnot more than five from the Masters of Arts, Philosophy, and Science, and not more than ten from theBachelors of Arts, Philosophy, and Science, shall beelected yearly for a term of ten years by theirrespective alumni associations, each association havingpower to fill vacancies as they occur ; (4) Officers ofaffiliated colleges, when elected by the Congregation ;(5) Such others as may be recommended by TheSenate and elected by the Congregation to honorarymembership, — provided that not more than live beelected yearly.Registration is effected when the member hasrecorded his name on tp.e official roll of the Congregation kept by the Examiner.

M. Baker,Vice-President— Sam. S. McClintock,The Use of the Infinitive in Biblical Greek.*By C. W. Votaw.The texts used as a basis for this investigation were theVatican text of the Septuagint as edited by Swete (Cambridge,1887-94) and the Westcott and Hort text of the New Testament(Cambridge, 1881) which is also nearer the Vatican text than itis to any other single codex. A comparison of these selected textswith other texts and codices shows a large proportion of variantreadings as regards the use of the infinitive, not as to its logicalforce but as to form and frequency of occurrence. These variations however offset each other in such a way that the totalnumber of forms and occurrences is not much affected by them.The whole number of instances of the infinitive in BiblicalGreek is 8915, the anarthrous form appearing 6146 times and thearticular form 2769 times. The average number of infinitives tothe page for both Septuagint and New Testament is 3.1—; ofanarthrous infinitives 2.1 + and of articular infinitives .9 + . Butthe three grand divisions of Biblical Greek, when viewed separately, show a marked difference in the relative proportion offorms and occurrences. The Old Testament (LXX), with 1909pages, contains an average of 2.5— infinitives to the page ; anarthrous 1.4—, articular 1.1 + . The Apocrypha, with 437 pages, contain an average of 4.4— infinitives to the page ; anarthrous 3.6—,articular .8—. The New Testament, with 528 pages, contains anaverage of 4.2— infinitives to the page: anarthrous 3.6— articular .6—. Anarthrous infinitives predominate over articularinfinitives in Biblical Greek in the proportion of 2.1+ to .9—;in the Old Testament alone 1.4— to 1.1 + , in the Apocrypha alone3.6— to .8—, in the New Testament alone 3.6— to .6—.As regards the use of the tenses with the infinitive, of thewhole number of instances 8915, the present tense appears 3397times, the aorist tense 5448 times, the future tense 74 times, andthe perfect tense 86 times. The future tense is not found in thearticular infinitive. The other tenses do not show any favor forthe anarthrous as against the articular form or vice versa.

Ickes.The uses which the anarthrous infinitive has been made toserve in Biblical Greek, arranged in the order of their relativefrequency, are as follows: (1) Verbal object, 3171; (2) purpose,1607; (3) subject, 597; (4) result, 445; (5) limiting nouns, adjectives (and adverbs), 209; (6) with irptv and irplv >?, 57 ; (7) apposition, 39 ; (8) prepositional object, 22 ; (9) parenthetic absolute, 1 ;(10) for the imperative, 1.The uses which the articular infinitive has been made to servein Biblical Greek, arranged in the order of their relative frequency, are as follows : (1) Prepositional object, 1158 ; (2) purpose, 820; (3) verbal object, 372; (4) result, 163; (5) limitingnouns and adjectives, 118; (6) subject, 107; (7) apposition, 24 ;(8) cause, ma,nner, means, 7.The negative used with the infinitive is uniformly m (or oneof its compound forms). The whole number of instances of thenegatived infinitive is 353.The use of the infinitive in Biblical Greek shows some departure from its use in normal Greek owing to the influence of theHebrew upon it. The Old Testament (LXX) is a direct translation from a Hebrew original, while the Apocrypha and NewTestament are written in Hellenistic Greek, i. e., Greek as usedby Jews. This Hebraistic influence appears (1) in decreasing bynearly one-half the number of occurrences of the infinitive in theOld Testament, as compared with the other two divisions; (2)in the presence of a new use of the infinitive— the epexegetic orexplanatory use, which serves to express more precisely the content of a preceding noun or verb, a slight extension of the Greekinfinitive of result, or of apposition ; (3) in the relative freedomand frequency with which the several possible uses are calledinto play. The results of this influence are, however, small,when considered as a whole ; and they appear, of course, mainlyin the Old Testament.* Presented to the Department of Biblical and Patristic Greekfor the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy.LITERARY.Abstracts of Theses and Papers.236 UNIVERSITY RECORDWtyt Calendar*July 4 — July ii», 1896.Saturday, July 4.Independence Day; a National Holiday.Religious Meeting.
