Although he comesfrom afar we remember that some of his countrymenhave preceded him in these Convocation exercises.First of all came Henry Drummond, now of saintedmemory, who addressed us calmly and cautiously upon" Some General Aspects of Evolution." Then cameAlexander Balmain Bruce, who charmed us with hisvisions of " The Future of Christianity" and at thesame time compelled us to consider the evil factors in present day Christianity which must be eliminatedin order that this future may be realized. Not manyof us will forget that warm afternoon on the first ofJuly, when for the first time our patron, Mr. Rockefeller, visited us, and when another Scotchman, GeorgeAdam Smith, described to us as we had never heardit described before, " The part which the Old Testament played in the Education of the Race," and, withkeen sympathy on the one hand for the Old Testament,and on the other for modern criticism, indicated howfar its power to direct and inspire was affected by thissame modern criticism. It was a year ago tonightwhen Her Excellency, The Countess of Aberdeen,spoke with all the force and dignity of a noble womanupon "The University and its Effects upon the Home."And now tonight, we all welcome to our city and tothe University another representative of old Caledonia. We surely owe a debt of great magnitude tothese, our Scottish friends, who have come and gone,leaving us richer in mind and in soul because of theircoming.To our guests, the members of the Germania Man-nerchor, the University would express its thanks forthe beautiful music which has been contributed to theexercises of Convocation. Their presence with us thisevening will prove to have been not only a source ofentertainment, but an inspiration to more ardenteffort on the part of the University in the cultivationdirectly and indirectly, of the aesthetic side of culture.30 UNIVERSITY RECORDSUCCESSFUL CANDIDATES AND COMPETITORS.I wish to announce officially the congratulations ofthe University to those students who, during the pastweeks, have received University honors. This numberincludes, as is indicated on the programme :Arthur Eugene Bestor, who has won the FerdinandPeek prize for excellence in public speaking in theJunior colleges.Edward Max Baker, Amos Ebersole and HartwellWilliam Webb, among whom was divided the University prize for excellence in public speaking in theSenior colleges.Samuel Rowland Robinson and James LutherBynum, who have won the Joseph Leiter prize forexcellence in the debate between the Graduate andDivinity schools.Edwin Gilbert Kirk, who has won the scholarshipfor excellence in the Spring examination for admission.Honorable mention for special excellence is awardedthe following students who have completed the workof the Junior Colleges : Edith Maud Bullis, AlbertEllsworth Hill, Clinton Luman Hoy, Alice Lachmund,Arthur Richard Schweitzer and Esther WallaceSturges.Honorable mention for excellence is awarded thefollowing students who have completed the work ofthe Senior Colleges : Irene Ingalls Cleaves, Ida MasonGardner, Luther Boone Hill, John Preston Mentzer,and Inez Dwight Rice.THE MARSHALS.To the retiring Marshals I take pleasure in acknowledging the obligations of the university for the skilland courtesy with which they have performed theirduties during the year which closes tonight. To HeadMarshal Flint, I desire on the part of the Universityto present this baton which has served throughout theyear as the token of his office, and which henceforthmay be preserved as a token of the esteem in whichhe and his fellow marshals have been held. To thenew Head Marshal Walling I present this baton andwith this presentation, I charge him with the dutiesand responsibilities of the office for the year whichnow begins.THE FELLOWS, 1898-99.On this occasion, as in previous years, I announceon behalf of the faculties and trustees of the University, the names of the successful candidates for fellowships for the year beginning next July. The University Fellow is the apple of the University eye.This year the candidates for fellowships were stronger and more numerous than ever before. Applicationswere made by 279 persons, of whom 46 were women.The applicants were graduates of 109 different institutions of learning and were residents of 33 states and5 foreign countries. Of the total number of applications only 79 received appointment. The names arepublished this evening for the first time on the Convocation Programme.* These 79 candidates comefrom 25 states and countries, from 43 colleges and universities and are selected solely upon the ground ofproficiency in the department named.To the new University Fellows, as well as to thosewho have received reappointment, the University extends its heartiest congratulations and its best wishes,and expresses the hope that the work of the comingyear may be, in the highest sense, satisfactory aliketo the fellows and to the members of the professorialstaff with whom the fellows shall come into relationship.HONORARY DEGREES.The most important sentence in the most importantstatute of the University, Statute 28, reads as follows :"No honorary degrees are conferred by the University." This sentence has formed a part of Statute 28from the beginning of the University. It has been asource of confidence both to the friends and to themembers of the University. But now it would seemthat the time had come when the University mightwith caution change its policy with respect to conferring honorary degrees. After a full discussion of thesubject in the Graduate Faculties and in the Senate,upon the recommendation of the latter body, theTrustees have substituted in Statute 28, for the sentence just quoted, the following paragraph : " The degrees of Doctor of Divinity and Doctor of Laws maybe conferred upon the recommendation of appropriatedepartments, confirmed by a four-fifths vote of theUniversity Senate. These degrees are granted onlyfor specific achievements in such fields as scholarship,discovery, or administration. At the convocation ceremony the President recites the specific ground uponwhich these degrees are conferred, and the recipientsare present in person." In order that the friends ofthe University may know the care with which thisnew privilege conferred by the Trustees upon the faculties is to be administered, I present the concurrentaction of the Senate with respect to the method ofnominating candidates for the highest degrees :1. For the purpose here contemplated the departments and schools of the university are divided intothe following groups :* See also University Record, April 8, 1898, pp. 15-17*UNIVERSITY RECORD 31Group I. Philosophy and Social Sciences." II. Literature [and the Linguistic Sciences." III. Mathematics and the Physical Sciences." IV. The Biological Sciences." V. The Theological Sciences.2. The order of procedure in nominating candidatesshall be as follows : The Department to the Group,the Group to the Senate, and the Senate to the Boardof Trustees.3. In case the achievement presumed to merit oneof the highest degrees falls within the field of administration, the University Congregation shall stand inthe place of the Group in Clause 2, and any ten members of the Congregation may have the correspondingplace of a department.4. A department desiring to propose a candidateshall report his name and specific achievements tothe University Recorder, who shall transmit the proposal to the officers of instruction in the departmentsin the same Group, and shall appoint a meeting of theGroup not less than thirty (30) days after the notification.In acting upon the claims of candidates, eachMe-partment in the Group shall have one vote whichshall be determined by a majority vote of the members of the department ; but all officers of instructionin the Group may participate in its deliberations.In case the Congregation takes the place of theGroup, the necessary ten members shall take thesame steps which are required to bring any otherquestion before that body. The votes of three-fourthsof the members present at the session of the Congregation shall be required for nomination to the Senate.The Senate shall in no case make a recommendationuntil six months after the nomination by the Groupor by the Congregation.5. The number of degrees conferred in any one yearshall not exceed the number of Groups in existenceat that time, and not more than three degrees of akind (e. g., LL.D.) shall be conferred in one year.6. Except as provided for in Clause 3, no candidatefor one of the highest degrees shall be proposed to theBoard of Trustees without the recommendation of thedepartment or departments within which the work ofthe candidate falls.NEW DEPARTMENT OF LITERATURE (iN ENGLISH).I have the pleasure of announcing that upon therecommendation of the University Congregation theTrustees of the University have established a newDepartment entitled "Literature (in English)." Thepurpose of this Department is threefold : 1. To supplement work of the particular LanguageDepartments : a) by giving opportunity for studentsof the Senior Colleges and more advanced grades toadd to their study in any literature in the originallanguage further courses of reading in English versions of that literature, or courses of reading in English versions of allied literatures ; b) by facilitatingthe treatment of literary periods, or movements, orinterests, common to two or more literatures.2. To afford to persons who may not be special students of languages opportunity for extending theirknowledge of literature as a subject of universal interest in liberal education.Note. — This consideration has special application tothe Sacred Literatures of the Old and New Testaments ; and this Department will carry on the workhitherto done by the Department of Biblical Literature in English.3. To afford a convenient field for the exposition ofstudies ordinarily known by such names as Comparative Literature, Philosophy of Literature, Theory ofLiterature, Literary Interpretation, and LiteraryCriticism. For purposes of practical education it isbelieved to be impossible without the use of literaturein translation to obtain a sufficiently wide inductionfrom literary phenomena to make such studies scientific. Courses of study in these theoretic branches willbe a regular part of the work of this Department. Atthe same time it is recognized that courses in particular authors or works may often be the most convenient mode of dealing with the theoretic side ofliterary study.The work of the new Department will be conductedby a committee appointed by the Trustees consistingof (a) one representative from each of the several language and literature departments, nominated by thePresident in consultation with the heads of such departments ; (b) the instructors that may hereafter beespecially appointed by the trustees as officers ofinstruction for the new department.It is understood that the courses in this Departmentare not open to the members of Junior Colleges, andthat its work may not be offered as a principal subjectfor any of the higher degrees.ADVANCED FELLOWSHIPS.The Senate, acting upon the recommendation of theGraduate Faculties, has proposed for the considerationof the Trustees, the following plan for more advancedfellowships:For the purpose of encouraging research as distinguished from the purpose of encouraging less ad-32 UNIVERSITY RECORDvanced students to ssciire training to qualify themfor research, the University offers Doctorate Fellowships upon the following conditions:1. Candidates shall have received the degree^of Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Chicago.2. Candidates must specify in detail the line of investigation which they wish to pursue, and they mustobtain the unanimous endorsement of the officers ofthe Department or Departments within which theproposed work falls.3. Incumbents are expected to devote at least ninemonths of each year exclusively to their research workat the University. They may, however, by specialpermission, carry on excavation, exploration, or consultation of original material wherever the problemsnnder investigation may demand.4. Doctorate Fellows are expected to prepare theresults of their researches for publication. This workis accepted in lieu of all teaching or other service tothe University during occupancy of the DoctorateFellowship.5. In cases of exceptional ability, students of independent means who have received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy may be made Honorary DoctorateFellows without income from the University. Withthis exception, their relationship to the Universitywill be the same as that of regular Doctorate Fellows.6. The income of each Doctorate Fellowship isseven hundred and fifty dollars ($750.00) per year.Appointments are made annually but incumbents areeligible to reappointment for a total term not exceeding five years.7. It is assumed that Doctorate Fellows need noformal instruction, but that they may pursue theirresearches independently. They are, therefore, exempt from payment of the regular tuition fees. Theyare required, however, to pay the special laboratoryfees and to pay for the material used in their researches.CHANGES IN REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION.After long consideration on the part of the facultiesand Senate I announce the following changes in respect to the subject-matter and method of admissionto the colleges of the University. In these changesthree objects were aimed at, namely :1. To bring the unit of admission adopted by theUniversity into greater harmony with the courses ofinstruction as arranged in the secondary schools.2. To recognize as far as possible the subjects ofstudy found in the curricula of the various secondaryschools.3. To obtain the largest flexibility, and adaptability to the curricula of the best schdols of the inoBt various character, ranging from the private preparatoryschool on the one hand to the public high school orthe other, so far as such flexibility should be consistent with the work now done by the University.The University believes that it has taken a lon£step toward the attainment of these ends by means o:the following changes :1. The former unit of admission was based upon th<arrangement of courses adopted by the UniversityThe new unit is based upon the arrangement o:courses which prevails in the secondary schools.2. The University will accept for admission the following additional subjects : Political Science, Historof the United States, English History, and Physiology3. With this increase in the range of subjects accepted, it will henceforth be possible for the graduatiof any good secondary school to be admitted withoucondition, even though the subjects he offers do nocorrespond exactly to those recommended by th<University. The University has so arranged the curriculum of the first two years that one- third of th«subjects recommended for admission may be pursuecin the Colleges, other subjects from the general lisbeing accepted in their stead.APPOINTMENTS AND PROMOTIONS.I have the pleasure of announcing the followingpromotions in the University staff :Hermann Benjamin Almsted, reader to an assistanin German.Alfred William Stratton, assistant to an associate iiSanskrit.Bradley Moore Davis, associate to an instructorshi;in Botany.James Henry Breasted, instructor to an assistanprofessorship in Semitic.Alexander Smith, assistant professor to an associatprofessorship in Chemistry.The following new appointments have been madePrincipal A.

The issues of peace and wartremble in the balance. We are bound to peace byour traditional policy, by the demands of the highestcivilization, by the sublimest precepts of moralityand religion. The Chief Magistrate of the Nation hasborne himself with a noble patience worthy of allpraise. He has apparently made every possible diplomatic effort to avert the horrors of war. We shouldloyally uphold his hands. We should pray that thestorm which threatens us may be turned aside.
