Mr, Rockefeller is a modest man, and maywell ask to be excused from the laudations and congratulations that attend public-spirited and generousacts; but this greatest and wisest act so far transcends in importance the average benefaction that weare justified in expressing tonight our appreciation ofits benefits, its spirit, its wisdom, its enduring char-Entered in the postoffice Chicago, Illinois, as second-class matter.&$z (©uutqttetwtal (tteWbratum.The Dinner to Mr. Rockefeller.270 UNIVERSITY RECORDacter, and the evidence it furnishes that he regardsthe possession of great wealth as a public trust, aswell as a stewardship for which he must give anaccount to his Maker, to his own conscience, and tothe age in which he lives. Happy is the man who ispossessed of great opportunities for good, accompaniedby the wisdom and will to use them rightly ! Happyis the nation in which such men are found " provokingone another to good works ! "History has its romances; the great moral andreligious movements have had their romances ; theintellectual and educational movements have had theirromances; but, to my thinking, no page of humanprogress has an incident of higher interest than thestory of the founding and development of this University.We talk of our White City, our Dream City, whosevictorious memories are so warmly cherished, yetwhich with each year become fainter and dimmer, butlo ! here is — shall I say it — a parallel achievement,and it remains, enduring, established.Here, in Chicago, whose materialistic spirit ismatter of banter and reproach at the hand of citieswhose limits cannot be extended as fast as ours, issuddenly created, by some modem Aladdin's lampprocess, a school of higher learning, whose statelybuildings now cover what was five years ago a weed-grown prairie.At first described as " a university upon paper ; " itsnewness, perhaps its freshness, commented upon ; itswant of that fine flavor of age, supposed to be asneedful to universities as to wine, complained of ; ithas nevertheless proceeded on its mission of enlightenment and is now holding its quinquennial celebration,its educational position established, its educationalinnovations recognized and followed, its work continually expanding under the generous gifts of itsfriends, and its students increasing in number, attracted by a faculty of distinguished instructors.As you think of the entire absence recently of sucha work as this, of the rapidity of its establishment,and of the promise of its future, does it not seem as ifsome magical influence had been evoked, and that ifour gifted friend, Dr. Harper, is not himself the Geniusof the lamp, he is entitled to the credit of rubbingvigorously and continuously on the bull's eye. In anycase the result is secured. And these men — the largecontributors — Rockefeller, Field, Ryerson, Yerkes,Kent, Cobb, Walker and others, what are they but theready and willing slaves of the lamp, prompt to do itswill? When called upon, responses like this arecommon: "Why yes, certainly, glad you called,Doctor; I'll do it, of course I will. Good morning. Come again." Can we ask for them better blessing "than this, that kind heaven may send them no worsefate than the service of this beneficent luminary?And let us never forget the conspicuous service rendered, at the same mandate, by those gentle handmaids of this high cause — Mrs. Rockefeller, Miss.Helen Culver, Mrs. Haskell, Mrs. Foster, Mrs. Beecher,Mrs. Kelly, Mrs. Snell — whose very names are evidence of woman's loving interest in " all that makesfor truth and righteousness."But to return again to our honored founder, Ishould fail in the most important part of my statement were I to omit giving expression — on behalf ofthe Trustees of The University — to our high pleasureand satisfaction at seeing him here on the occasionof this celebration. Most of us have not met himuntil this time. We have sustained a relation to himsimilar to that mentioned by an apostolic writer inreferring to one who was constantly in the thought ofhis friends, was expected to visit them soon and wasdescribed in the words " whom having not seen, yelove." For this man has made himself loved, not alone \by the immediate beneficiaries of this noble foundation,.but by the men into whose hands he has committedthe cares, the anxieties, the hopes, and the high honors-of this trust. And the unique way in which he hasbestowed this grave responsibility upon others is aswise and broad and great as he himself is. Beyondthe original outline of his plan for this school — givenin a brief sentence — no word of dictation; direction,,or instruction even, as to its policy or work has cometo this board. Barring a few kindly assurances ofappreciation, satisfaction, and encouragement fromhim to us, we have been left " to work out our ownsalvation" and not without "fear and trembling" attimes, I might add. I will not deny that there havebeen times of care, perplexity and deepest anxieties-;neither will I deny that the work has been arduous,.exacting, and has called for much of the time of theboard ; but we have been inspired by the greatnessof the work, felt honored to be called to it, and havealways loved it, and learned through loving it, to loveand trust its founder. Thus it is that I am justifiedin assuring Mr. Rockefeller that in no way could hegive more pleasure and encouragement to the boardthan by this visit, which we trust is the beginning ofothers of like nature.Gentlemen, time must soon work many changesamong us all. The founder of this great school, andthe men most active in its establishment must passaway. Its visible features, these noble buildings,.must also eventually yield to the destroying touch oftime and crumble to decay. But who can doubt theUNIVERSITY RECORD 271permanency of The University itself, or its increasingpower for good in the ages to come ? Chicago willnever let this thing die. Nobly, right nobly, have hersons and daughters responded to the friendly challenge of our honored guest when, he said, " Come, letus establish a school worthy of your great city; " andthe Chicagoans of the future, when both town andschool have grown to dimensions we hardly dream ofnow, will cherish and glory in " The University ofChicago — founded by John D. Rockefeller."Mr. McLeish then called upon the Rev. A. K.Parker, D.D., to make an address of welcome, representing the Board of Trustees of The University. Thefollowing is the text of his address :Mr. Parker's Address.When the members of this Board met each other forthe first time five years ago, and formally accepted theduty committed to them by the charter of The University of Chicago, the feeling uppermost in theirminds, if I may venture to speak for my associates aswell as for myself, was that of the very great seriousness of the task to which they were addressing themselves. A university was to be organized under conditions for which there were no clear precedents. Its largeendowment and its larger expectations, together withthe choice of a city as its site to which the eyes of theworld readily turn, compelled its Trustees to anticipatewhat, in the case of similar institutions, has been theslow work of time, and so to plan for it as that itshould take rank, not half a century hence, but on^ itsopening day, with the great Universities of the land.The responsibility became the weightier when it waslearned that you, Sir, with a large-minded generositythat permitted no restrictions of merely personal preference required of us only that we should build here aChristian school whose offers and opportunities shouldembrace the widest range of human knowledge.Never before, I think, were Trustees so trusted. Andin this your confidence in us, Sir, other men werequickly your rivals. By most substantial proofs itwas made plain that The University of Chicago was tobe no exotic plant struggling for nourishment in ameager and unfriendly soil, and pining in the chill airof neglect. Nothing in the eventful history of our cityis more astonishing, more worthily matter of boasting,than the brilliant story of the swift succession oflavish gifts heaped by its citizens, men and womenalike, upon The University founded by John D. Rockefeller. It was Chicago's attempt, Sir, to make whatrecognition it could of your splendid munificence. TheBoard of Trustees too, permitted themselves to thinkthat it was a token that their fellow citizens believed that they would prove neither incompetent nor faithless. Again I say, never before were trustees sotrusted.Under these circumstances would it not be strangeif, as the months go by, the obligations of our task donot weigh more heavily upon us ? Continually weare solicited by new opportunities and confronted bynew demands. More and more clearly as we ponderthese pressing questions there rises before us withsolemn appeal the majestic conception of The University to come.O, 'tis writ large the thing we have to do.But this talk of responsibilities is matter too gravefor this occasion; let me discard that word for a morecheerful one. For always, if we can get the true pointof view, a heavy responsibility undergoes a gracioustransformation and becomes a shining privilege. Wecount ourselves happy, Sir, in the large privilege towhich we have been called. For in truth it has beena great joy to be allowed the smallest share inthis undertaking. It is an old story of that king ofPoland, 300 years ago or more, who in founding a University decreed that the students who received fromits Faculty of Philosophy the degree of Master shouldbe entitled to rank as nobles in the kingdom. It wasa royal deed, and a royal thought. The instructors ofThe University will concede, I am sure, that althoughwe do not by learned research directly increase thesum of human knowledge, or share with them thedelightful tasks of the lecture room, we and they areengaged in a common endeavor. If this Universityshall succeed in making noble men, the true mastersof society, because they have attained self-knowledgeand self-control, we shall claim our part in the honorof this achievement and in its reward.The University undertakes to do many things, butits Trustees would not forget that its supreme obligation is to do this one thing: to train men for the dutiesof manhood. It teaches science and philosophy andliterature in order that by means of them men andwomen may acquire the art of living nobly and unselfishly. To the slave who is wise with this wisdomshall they that are free do service.The privilege we owe to your generosity, Sir, and tothe enthusiastic cooperation with you of the citizensof Chicago whom The University delights to honor,is still larger, if I may be allowed another word, whenwe remember (how can we ever forget it ?) that by theuse of the opportunities of this service our lives todayare making a contribution to the peaceful and gloriousvictories of the future over ignorance and its attendants, poverty, misery and vice, and dull forgetfulnessof God. The White City was built for a day. The272 UNIVERSITY RECORDGray City — God grant it — shall be populous for centuries to come. Cardinal Newman, said once, speaking from his chair as Rector of the University ofDublin, that it may happen in the future that nocivilized man will lack the opportunity of being physically and mentally the best that God has made him.We are jealous of our privilege as those who are permitted to anticipate and to hasten that day.In the familiar page of Plutarch we read the letterwhich Alexander the Great wrote to his preceptorAristotle, protesting against the publication of certainof his philosophical writings: " For how shall we be distinguished," he said," from other men, if the knowledgewhich we have acquired be made the common property of all ? " How little was Alexander the Greatwhen we contrast his ideals and ambitions with thoseof the men to whom power has been given today tofound and enrich schools which would leave no manor woman untaught who can be persuaded to accepttheir teaching ?I am grateful for the honor which the gentlemen ofthe Board of Trustees have put upon me in asking meto speak in their name this evening. We are grateful,Sir, to you for the honor of receiving you as our guest,and for the assurances this Convocation week hasbrought us that you do not find your confidence in usmisplaced.An address was also made, on behalf of the citizensof Chicago, by Mr. Edward G. Mason. At the conclusion of this address, Mr. McLeish announced thatMr. Rockefeller would respond to the remarks of theprevious speakers. His words of response are asfollows :nr. Rockefeller's Response.It gives me pleasure, that it is impossible to express,just to look into your faces. Before I came on, havingheard of what wonderful things you had accomplished in all the great business undertakings and affairs with.which you have had to do, I was afraid to meet you.(Laughter.) You know, I feel very much at home here.(Applause.) From my coming you have just simplyoverwhelmed me with your kind attentions. PresidentHarper told me when I came that I would never beexpected to speak here at all, and then I did say a fewwords, and he told me surely I must not say any more.He repeated that again today, and I want to have thepresident understand that he cannot put me down(Laughter). I do feel very grateful to you, gentlemen ;I do feel great confidence in you. I said to some ofyour number since I came that I trembled for you inview of this great responsibility which you have socheerfully taken upon you. It carries me back to myfirst experience as a young man in business. As thesuccess began to come, I seldom put my head on thepillow at night without speaking a few words to myselfin this wise : " Now, a little success ; soon you will falldown, soon you will be overthrown." And I was constantly trembling lest this should come to pass. Ihave none of that feeling with respect to you, nowthat I know you. I had none of that feeling before —not with the body of gentlemen who made up thiscommittee; I have never had any hesitancy withreference to their ability, to their honesty, to theirfidelity, to their abiding interest in this work and theirappreciation of what it meant. It means far morethan 1 supposed in the beginning. I am amazed atwhat I see here ; I am delighted beyond measure. Incommon with yourselves, I am full of hope for thefuture of this institution, your institution, your Chicago University. I rejoice with you in its promisingbeginning, and I trust that the work which has begunso auspiciously will be continued, and that the generations to come, when we all sleep quietly in the churchyard, shall continue to be blessed all down the ages.©fttcial Ectums, Notices, anft Hqpotts,OFFICIAL NOTICES.Meetings of Faculties and Boards.Faculty Room, Haskell Huseum.Tuesday, July 28.The Board of Student Organizations, Publications, and Exhibitions, at 5:00 p.m.General University Meetings.Instead of the -usual monthly meetings of the severalschools there will be held during the Summer Quarter General University Meetings of all Divisions of TheUniversity, once a week.

The honors,too, were largely shared by the representatives ofThe University. The following took part: ProfessorsMichelson and Wadsworth, Messrs. Neel, Bond, Linn,Patten, and the McQuiston brothers. Mr. Carr B.Neel, who won the Western Championship last year,Concerning Finite Groups of Linear HomogeneousSubstitutions.*Development of the theorem : "Every finite group of ?i-arylinear homogeneous substitutions leaves invariant a positiveHermitian bilinear form, which by proper determination of thevariables Xx, . . ., Xn is -Xj X1+X2 X2 + . . . + Xn X-n.This theorem is the generalization from w=2 to n—n of a(geometrically phrased) theorem due to Klein (MathematischeAnnalen, Vol. 9, 1875) and fundamental in his determination ofall finite binary groups.* Read before the Mathematical Club, July 10, by Head Professor Moore.The Psalms of Solomon.*I. Introductory.a. The index to the Codex Alexandrinus tells us that14 Eighteen Psalms of Solomon" originally formed an appendixto that Bible, following the two epistles of Clement afterthe New Testament. These Psalms are mentioned also in otherearly catalogues — the Synopsis Athanasii, the Stichometry ofNicephorus, the Sixty Books — but by them they are classed withOld Testament antilegomena or apocrypha. The decree of thecouncil of Laodicea (c. 360 B. C.) forbidding the use of u privatepsalms" in the churches was early held to refer to those contained in this collection.b. Though we have such early evidence of regard for thebook, its contents were not commonly known until its publicationby J. L. de la Cerda in his Adversaria Sacra at Lyons, in 1626 ;and it had to wait for any general study until quite recent times.It was published by Hilgenf eld in 1868 and again in 1869. In1871 the editions of Fritzsche and G-eiger appeared. In 1883Bernhard Pick published the Greek text and an English translation in the Presbyterian Review. In 1891 Ryle & James published their edition at Cambridge, England, which at oncesuperseded all previous editions. It contains, besides a criticaltext, a very full introduction and exegetical notes. Swetehas since published (1894) a new text based on a hithertounused manuscript as an appendix to the third volume of hisOld Testament in Greek. In 1895 Oscar von Gebhardt issued hislong promised edition. Of translations the most notable isthat of Wellhausen in his Pharisder und Sadducaer publishedin 1874.c. These editions are based on various manuscripts, the lasthaving used eight, Ryle & James four, while the earlier onesdepended on Cerda' s text corrected by conjecture with the helpof an imperfect collation of a manuscript in Vienna. Cerda' s maintained his title by defeating Mr. George Wrenn-Together with his brother, Mr. Neel also won thedoubles championship. The McQuiston brothers^decided the consolation finals between them, and also*took part in the double finals of the consolationmatches. Professor Wadsworth made an excellentrecord in the early part of the Tournament.text was supposed to represent a codex belonging in Augsburgof which since the 16th century it has been impossible to findany trace. Dr. von Gebhardt has demonstrated that that> manuscript was no other than the one now lying in Vienna,,> which was loaned to the Librarian of Augsburg fox a time earlyin the sixteenth century. All of the extant manuscripts represent a single not very ancient archetype, and at best the text is-very corrupt.; II. Historical Situation and Date of Psalter.a. Few writings not avowedly historical so clearly picturethe times and conditions out of which they spring as do these-psalms. The first words of the first psalm tell of a doubletrouble — the sudden coming of war from without, andoppression by " sinners " from within. The war is waged againstJerusalem by a Gentile foe, but the conqueror gains entrance tothe holy city by the aid of some of the Jews themselves who; welcome him as a father into his son's house. He breaks down: strong walls with the battering ram, makes a general massacre inr Jerusalem in which sons of the covenant join with the heathen: against their brethren. The conqueror intruded — though with: no irreverent intent — into the sanctuary, and took the leadersl of the people captive into the west. This conquest of the city> was followed by a famine and, after some time, by the ignominious> death of the conqueror in Egypt. The internal conditions inIsrael meanwhile appear to be characterized by a sharp partydivision between devout adherents to the theocracy on the one-) side, and on the other the wealthy adherents of rulers who hadl usurped both high priesthood and throne. The rulers are^; accused of utter corruption of life and a merciless oppressionof the "righteous" theocrats.1 b. This situation fits exactly the condition of things at the-} time of Pompey's conquest of Jerusalem in 63 B. C. Then there-were two sharply divided parties among the Jews — the wealthyaristocratic priests led by Aristobulus the de facto king — andi the more earnest adherents of the law led by Hyrcanus thel older brother of Aristobulus, andde jure king and high priest. -3 The priestly nobles were worldly and corrupt, and in many> ways oppressed the devout among the people. These earnest3 souls were scandalized by the doings and aims of their priestly3 oppressors and sought to wrest authority from their hands. The3 strife had became acute, and the party of the priests— i.e., the1 Sadducees— had won a temporary victory, when Pompey appeared.in Syria. All parties sought his favor — Aristobulus and thet Sadducees, Hyrcanus representing the Pharisaic leaders, ands besides these, a deputation from the " people " praying for favorp to neither claimant, but rather for the restoration of the oldb theocracy.LITERARY.Abstracts of Theses and Papers.UNIVERSITY RECORD 277Pompey finding it necessary to go in person against Jerusalemwas opposed by the Sadducees, but Hyrcanus and the Phariseeshelped him to gain entrance into the city. The Sadducees werethen besieged in the temple fortress and overcome. In themassacre which followed the party of Hyrcanus joined. Pompey-afterwards intruded into the sanctuary, but not in a spirit ofirreverence. He took Aristobulus with many others captive toRome. The next year a famine interfered with some plans ofPompey' s general, Scaurus. In 48 Pompey lost his life — his dead body being exposed for some time unburied on the shoresof Egypt.c. So close is the identity of this history with the situationpictured above from the psalms themselves, that it is generallyheld that this psalter dates from about 63 B. C. (80— 40), andvoices the feelings of the theocratic party at the time of thecivil war.* Synopsis of an Introductory Lecture delivered at TheUniversity by Professor Rush Rhees. ,&t)e mnibersitg affiliations,Kenwood Institute.Chicago.Report for the Spring Quarter, 1896.John C.

The session was devoted to a paper by Head Professor Albion W. Small, entitled "Demands ofSociology upon Pedagogy." The paper first took issuewith the Report of the Committee of Ten, on theground that no conception of a system of reality ofwhich different studies are fragmentary phases appearsin the report. The main thesis of the paper was thatthe end of education is, (1) completion of the individual; (2) adaptation of the individual to suchcooperation with the society in which his lot is cast,.that he may wTork with the society in progressivelyperfecting its own type and thus in creating conditions favorable to the development of a more perfecttype of individual. From the beginning of a child'seducation the aim of teaching should be to help thepupil see things as parts of the whole reality to whichthey belong. Sociology is not a proper study forimmature pupils, but the study of society shouldbegin in the cradle and continue until second childhood. All perceptions of social reality should beorganized under at least three categories: (1) interdependence, (2) order or cooperation, (3) progress orcontinuity.Current events at Morgan Park Academy are thefollowing :The exhibit of the Academy at the Baptist Young People'sUnion Convention at Milwaukee consisted, in addition to photographs, calendars, and the Autocrat, of a booth containing acomplete X Ray apparatus, operated by Associate ProfessorCornish.
