Clendenning was one of the ablestmen in the college. His skill in public speaking hadattracted large attention. His class work was of thehighest order. The University has lost a man of thegreatest promise. We desire to share with his familyand friends the sorrow occasioned by his death. Whenyesterday the students of the University assembledfor work, the flag was at half mast. The surprise andthe sorrow were alike great ; for no man was morehighly esteemed in the whole undergraduate body.the college for teachers.The first quarter's work of the College for Teachersmay be called distinctly successful. This is truewhether the point of view is that of numbers, character of students or quality of work. The enrollmentincludes 287 students.Number of new matriculants - 218Number of old matriculants - .... 69Total 287Number of men ------- 56Number of women ..-.-. 231Number of course registrations ----- 390Number of classes ...... 22Average per class - -.-... 17-fCLASSIFICATION OF REGISTRATIONS.Educational Psychology ..... \\Pedagogy ........ 42Civil Government ----.. 13English History ------- 37Sociology -------- 15Greek --------- 17Latin -.--..__ 19Spanish .._.-.__ \\French -.---.._ 7German --------- 4English 73 Physiography -------- 56Mathematics ..-..-- 15Botany -------- - 32Public Speaking ------- 10Anatomy .--... 3In close connection with the College for Teachershas been conducted the work of the Class StudyDepartment in seventy-four classes with a total enrollment of 873.The faculty of the College for Teachers has beenorganized and standing committees have been established. The work with this auspicious beginning isnow in a position to make a rapid progress.RUSH MEDICAL COLLEGE.The membership of Rush Medical College, in affiliation with the University, for the present year is 882.This is an increase of 244 over the enrollment of lastyear. The requirements for admission this year werehigher than before. Next year the requirements foradmission will be still higher. They will be graduallyincreased during the next three or four years untilonly those shall be admitted who have completed thework of the sophomore year in college.The new faculty, now composed of those who holdthe rank of assistant professor and above, numbers32 ; the old faculty, limited to those who were headsof departments, numbered 12. Important legislationhas been enacted during the autumn months. Thisincludes (1) a reconstruction of the curriculum whichincludes the giving up of lecture courses that areheld one or two hours a week, and the concentration of the work of both students and instructorsupon a smaller number of subjects ; (2) the introduction of the elective principle in the junior and senioryears, about one-third of the work of the student inthese years being made elective ; (3) the introductionof the summer quarter, and the arrangement of thework for the year as a whole upon the basis of quarters.This new system will begin July 1. The faculty willbe strengthened in several departments during thecoming year.During the holiday recess the Rush Medical College has been called upon to lose one of its departmentheads. Professor John B. Hamilton, the distinguishedsurgeon, after a brief illness departed this life Saturday, December 24. Professor Hamilton was the editorof the Journal of the American Medical Association,the chairman of the Library Board of the city of Chicago, and director of the Elgin Insane Asylum. Hewas a man of the highest attainments and had heldmost important positions, and as surgeon of the Marine Hospital of the United States had rendered greatUNIVERSITY RECORD 273service to the profession of medicine. In his deathmen of science everywhere mourn the loss of a greatman in the very prime of life. It will be difficult tofill the vacancy thus made in the faculty of the college.The members of the University of Chicago join withthe members of the faculty of Rush Medical Collegeand its students in paying tribute to the ability andthe character of Professor Hamilton.THE DIVINITY CURRICULUM.After a period of more than two years engaged incareful study of the theological curriculum, the faculty of the Divinity School has adopted unanimouslycertain important changes which are announced totake effect July 1.Among these changes are the following :1) The rearrangement and readjustment of the required work in the several departments so that thiswork is finished in the first year of divinity work.2) The provision of special training in the Englishlanguage.3) The assignment of each student, after the firstyear, to the special department in which he shall undertake to do the larger part of his work, the professor in this department to be henceforth his specialadviser.4) Provision by which students who desire to become pastors, administrators, or general workers mayselect courses of instruction which will be adapted tothe work they desire to do.5) The change of the study of Hebrew from the listof required subjects to the list of elective subjects, except in the case of those who desire to make the Oldand New Testament their principal subject of study.6) An arrangement by which a liberal portion ofthe time of each student shall be given to work innatural science, psychology, and English literature,unless in his college course he has made such progressin these subjects as would warrant his omission ofthem at this stage of his work.7) The grouping of the courses of study especiallyadapted to those who desire to be pastors and administrators and general workers in which the EnglishBible shall be made the principal subject, the secondary subjects to psychology, pedagogy, and sociology.8) The proposition to make such arrangement asmay be necessary with other institutions as will permitthose who so desire to prepare themselves especiallyin the lines of music and medicine with special reference to Christian work.9) The introduction to as large an extent as possi ble of the study of problems as distinguished fromstudy by departments.10) The introduction to a larger extent than heretofore of what may be called " clinical " work, for example,in Sunday-school work with the biblical and pedagogical departments, in visitation work with the sociological department, in preaching and church administration with the department of homiletics.11) The setting aside of a period in the training ofeach student, during which he shall be under thedirection of a pastor in active service.These steps, taken after due deliberation, mark, it isbelieved, a distinct forward movement in theologicaleducation.NEW BUILDINGS.I have the pleasure of announcing that at the Academy in Morgan Park East Hall has been completedduring the quarter and is now occupied. This building, which is really composed of two distinct buildings, includes also a splendid dining-room and atemporary gymnasium.In the absence of Mr. Thurber, Dean of the Academy, its interests have been most wisely and satisfactorily cared for by the Acting Dean, Mr. Chase.At the University, Green Hall has been finishedduring the past quarter and is now occupied. Seventywomen are today living in the building. This fact issurely an indication of the needs of the University inthis particular. It is important, however, at thispoint to note that the interests of women at the University seem to have received greater attention at thehands of the patrons of the University than the interests of the men. The feeling is growing, and it is acorrect feeling, that the time has come when betteraccommodations should be provided for the men.These better accommodations will include additionalhalls for dormitory purposes and provision for a University Commons.COOPERATING SCHOOLS.The following schools have been received into cooperation with the University during the past quarter:The Lowell High School, San Francisco; the Girls'High School, San Francisco; the Duluth High School,Duluth, Minn.; Elgin High School, Elgin, 111.; LaPorte High School, La Porte, Ind.; Terre Haute HighSchool, Terre Haute, Ind.; St. Louis High School, St.Louis, Mo.; Milwaukee High School, Milwaukee, Wis.;South Side High School, Chicago; West Side HighSchool, Chicago ; Hinsdale High School, Hinsdale, 111.;Joliet High School, Joliet, 111.274 UNIVERSITY RECORDACQUISITIONS TO THE HASKELL MUSEUM.Very valuable acquisitions to the Oriental Museumhave come within a month from Egypt. Among theseare inscriptions comprising slabs and cornices fromfour different masonry tombs of the old empire about3000 B. C, and a large number of small objects, including a bronze mirror, a fine alabaster jar, and especially a set of mosaic, a long series of pottery from theoldest to the latest age, as well as material from theprehistoric period.THE TWO-MILLION -DOLLAR PROPOSITION".In October 1896, Mr. Rockefeller proposed that hewould duplicate any sums of money given to the University between that date and January 1, 1900, up tothe sum of two millions of dollars. Since that datethere have been received by the University the follow -iag gifts :1. The gift of Miss Helen Culver for the biologicaldepartments, the exact value of which has not beenestimated.2. The following gifts for various purposes :Books $?>668Fellowships and Scholarships 17,830Department of Astronomy ------- 28,500Biological Departments 183,100Department of Physics 5,000University Extension 500Other Departments 330Oratorical Prizes 500Elementary School -- -. H»471New Dormitory 52,000Total $306,899NEW GIFTS.Two important gifts have been made to the University during the Christmas season. The amount andthe value of these gifts may not easily be overestimated. The first is a gift of land including 288 feet onEllis avenue, opposite > the University grounds, between 57th street and 58th street. The University wasalready in possession of 120 feet. This gift makes itpossible for the University practically to control thelarger portion of the block. A suggestion has alreadybeen made that it would be to the advantage of thefraternities in the University as well as to the advantage of the University, if this land should be leased tothe fraternities for the erection of chapter houses.The value of the land is $33,874. The donor is Mr.Martin A. Ryerson, the president of the board of trustees. The amount of the gift will be duplicated byMr.^Rockefeller. The total sum involved, therefore, isnearly $68,000. In view of the tendency, possibly, ofundesirable buildings being erected in close proximity to the University, and in view of the future demandsof the University for ground on which to erect buildings which shall be devoted exclusively to Universitypurposes, this gift of Mr. Ryerson would seem to beone of the wisest investments which could be madefor the University's interests. It is indicative of theforesight of one who has given a large part of his timeto the work of the University in these first years of itshistory, and who, on other occasions, has also givenlargely of his means. It would be impossible to makeany statement which would adequately express thegreat indebtedness of the University to Mr. Ryersonfor the continued and deep interest which he hastaken in the details of every department of the work-I have the privilege of announcing another gift.These are the days in which the cooperative idea prevails. This second may fairly be called a cooperativegift. It consists of the two blocks of land lying northof Fifty-seventh street, between Ellis and Lexingtonavenues. One of these blocks, by the courtesy of Mr.Marshall Field, has been occupied as the athletic fieldof the University. Both blocks, including a space600 X 800 feet, are now the property of the University.For this magnificent gift the University is indebtedto two of its best friends ; men who have from thebeginning exhibited the deepest possible interest inthe progress of the University. The market value ofthese blocks is $335,000. Of this sum Mr. MarshallField has contributed $135,000, Mr. John D. Rockefeller $200,000. It has been a long-cherished hope onthe part of the friends of the University that thesetwo blocks of land should some time become its property. By this gift the twenty-seven acres alreadyconstituting the University grounds become nearlyforty acres. By this gift there is assured to theUniversity for all time a splendid athletic fieldat its very door, and such a field in the midst of alarge city is something greatly to be prized. Bythis gift the building of a great gymnasium ismade possible. By this gift the development ofa medical school and the development of a technological school are made possible. But this is notall. There is a still deeper significance. In the mindsof those who have made the gift, and in the minds ofthe trustees who have received the gift there is evidently a keen appreciation of the future growth anddemands of the University. The University can neverbe greater than the ideals which its friends holdbefore their minds. This gift furnishes evidence thatthe ideals cherished by those who stand in closestrelationship to the University are high ideals. This,after all, is the most significant factor involved inthe gift. The announcements which I have had theUNIVERSITY RECORD 275privilege of now presenting to you are the most important announcements, so far as the resources of theUniversity are concerned, which have been madewithin three years. The question I ask myself tonight, and the question which I beg the privilege ofasking you is, whether one year from tonight we shallbe able to announce that the remaining one million ofdollars needed to secure the third million of Mr.Rockefeller's last proposition shall have been obtained. This is a question for the citizens of Chicagoto answer.OUR GUESTS.A second time the University has been favoredby the presence of the Germania Mannerchor. Forthe kindly spirit which has led the Mannerchor thusto join with us in our Convocation, and for the richand beautiful contribution which they have madetowards the service of the Convocation, I desire tomake the acknowledgment of the University.To the honored guest* of the evening, who hascome so far to make his contribution towards a betterunderstanding, on our part and on the part of thecountry at large, of the nation's greatest question, Iundertake to present our most hearty thanks andappreciation. The words which he has spoken willbe read tomorrow morning by many hundred thousands of people. His message will be studied far andwide ; and this study will lead men of every shade ofopinion to a truer conception of the gravity and thecomplexity of the problem for which the nation ismaking effort to find the true solution.We were gratified when, just recently, the nation'sPresident visited us and accepted from the Universityits highest honor. We are grateful that tonight oneof the greatest of the nation's thinkers has deliveredfrom theplatf or m of the University a message, intendedfor us, to be sure, but intended also for the wholenation. The University is in a true sense serving asthe prophet of democracy.The University Elementary School.group IV.[This report covers the work done since the statement published in the Record, November 4, 1898.]The next work in history was a study of early agricultural methods. The desire to have grain near athand was assigned as the reason for attempts at cultivating it. This included the observation of the rela-^tioh of seed to plant and the conditions necessary for* The Honorable Carl Schurz, the ConvocationOrator. growth. The first plow — a bent branch, with its endsharpened and hardened in the fire, and later improved by a stone point — was described. Agricultureled to settled village liferits problems and methods ofmeeting them were discussed. One of the first wasin regard to the allotment of the arable soil. Theprimitive German method of dividing land into strips,each strip cultivated by a family, all families planting the same seed in that field, was described. Suchan allotment presupposed an organized people withleaders. The position of the father as the head ofthe family was made clear by stories of boys and girlswho lived at this time. Stories, either told by theteacher or children, were used to bring out the village life, its methods of pasturing flocks and herds ina common field, its occupations and the first differentiations that would occur in them. What would bedone when attacked by a nomadic tribe, and similarquestions were discussed, the children always takingthe part of the village community and attempting tofind the best solution of the problems presented.From such a community, as described above, theclass was imagined to have migrated to Greece wherea different stage of civilization was in progress. Thereason given for the movement was the breaking outof a plague. The journey was a long one, as only latefall and early spring were used for it ; the summerbeing used for raising crops and the winter too coldfor the journey. The journey was supposed to startfrom the region about the Volga, and a map was usedin tracing the route into Greece. The dreariness ofthe winter encampment was relieved by telling thelegends of the Aryan country from which they hadcome. These wTere the myths which occur in someform in nearly all languages. In order that thechildren might realize how these would change whenonly oral tradition could be depended upon, the classwas divided into couples, one child representing aparent and the other a child to whom the parent triedto tell one of the legends. When the story was told,one member of each couple was changed, and thesame story told. The children found that the twonarratives were not quite alike ; in one case much hadbeen omitted, and in another two stories had beenconfused. They were told that this was exactly whathad happened to people which, though, having a common stock of stories and beliefs, had gone into differentcountries, and had only the memories of their parentsto depend upon.The agricultural conditions and the peasant life ofGreece were described as given by Hesiod in Worksand Days. The change in social life was illustratedby i magining a young chief whose father had enforced276 UNIVERSITY RECORDpeace on neighboring tribes, and had left the son withan accumulation of wealth in the form of gold, silver,and slaves. The young king decided to build abeautiful new home, and this home was the palace ofTiryns. Since this palace bears some trace of orientalor Egyptian influence, a shipwrecked man, befriendedby the young king, was imagined to have offered suggestions for the new building. Each part of the palace was considered as to its use : the apartments of thewomen to be used for spinning, weaving, dyeing, embroidering and household duties ; the apartments ofthe men, for working in metals, ornamenting stones,making weapons, pottery, etc. The courtyard wasdescribed, and games and contests in arms imaginedto have taken place there. In mentioning the decorations of the palace the children speculated onthe person who planned them and the process bywhich they were worked out. Several of the standardstories of old Greek life were read while the childrenwere busied with this subject. They made a sandmap of Greece, bringing out chiefly its mountains andtheir effect in separating communities.From Greece the class were supposed to go to Italy,where its members arrived just as Romulus was leading his band of shepherds from Alba Longa. Wewere invited, with all other stray people of the neighborhood, including a few robbers, to become membersof the new city on the seven hills. We accepted andhelped decide upon the Palatine hill as first to be occupied, and named it after the goddess of shepherds.We also were concerned in the trick by which Sabinewives were obtained, and witnessed the punishmentof Tarpeia. Some of our class were chosen for thefirst senators and helped elect Numa Pompilius. Thecity was prospering when we left it to seek new peoples to study.During the present quarter the life of the Phoenicians is to be studied and their influence as traders incarrying civilization, religion, and history of the country to another. The Phoenicians were located on themap and described as a people driven out from theircountry and forced to adapt themselves to new environments. The new country would not admit ofagriculture, but abounded in fish, forests, and mines.Its people were, therefore, forced to become traders.Sidon was taken as the first city. Its early traderssought to exchange fish for wheat. The simplestprinciples of value were brought out, and the difficultyin finding people with wheat to exchange for fish ledto an appreciation of the value of a " medium of exchange."In cooking, macaroni was to be prepared for luncheon. The children examined it and found its resem blance to flour. They were told something of its.preparation and how to cook it in the Italian stylewith tomatoes and cheese. Carrots were then cooked.They were classified as a root vegetable and comparedwith the potato. They were cut in small cubes andboiled. White sauce was served with them.An attempt was made to find out the proportionateamount of water and starch in a potato. A potatowas weighed, grated and the parts thoroughly mixed.Then a sample was taken, as easier to manage,weighed, dried and reweighed, and the loss of watercalculated, first for the sample and then for the wholepotato. Each child arrived independently at the result. The starch obtained from the potato was felt,tasted, examined through the microscope, and thegrains compared with those of corn starch. Methodsof cooking it were discussed and the change in colorwhen cooked noted. The children tried by furtherheating to get it back to its former state. As thisfailed they tried by pounding in a mortar to squeezeout the water. They finally deduced the generalstatement that the starch grains were so broken upand mixed with water that neither pounding norrapid heating (because of the danger of burning)could restore them. They found that starch has notaste, and that cellulose (which they tasted in theform of filter paper) has no taste ; so they decidedthat the taste of the potato must be " that whichturns the knife black," i. e., the juice. The amount ofwater in a potato was discussed in relation to meth?ods of cooking, and the baked potato cited as a proofthat the water in a potato is sufficient to change thestarch when exposed to dry beat.Many of the children of this group could not telltime, and the Roman numerals were learned and practice given in telling time.Sewing has been the completion of the workbagsof scrim begun in the autumn. These were finishedwith a drawing-string and initials worked in outlineon one side.In order to do some ornamental basket weaving itwas necessary to color some of the fiber to be used.This was done with logwood.In manual training members of this group are atwork upon picture frames. This brings in the use ofsome new tools and practice in others. The makingof spool stands, yarn-winders and match-scratchersdescribed in reports of other groups has formed a partof their work.Art work has consisted chiefly in attempts to illustrate with colored chalk scenes described in connection with work in history. In connection with theirhistory, also, they have begun the study of the EarthUNIVERSITY RECORD 277in general, its form and movements, and the relativeamount of land and water.In music the following song was composed to besung before the school at Christmas time :" One winter morn before the dawnWe woke ; t'was Christmas day.The girls and boys quick ran to their toysAnd all began to play.I had a doll, and she was small.My brother had a yacht.The baby, too, had something new,A little dog named Spot."Reading for part of the group is confined to sentences describing history work. To those who canread readily simple stories are given.Official Actions.At the meeting of the Administrative Board of theUniversity Affiliations^ held December 17, 1898, thefollowing schools were accepted as cooperatingschools :The Elgin High School, the Joliet High School, theHinsdale High School, the West Side and South SideHigh Schools of Milwaukee.Official Notices.Official copies of the University Record for theuse of students may be found in the corridors andhalls of the various buildings in the University quadrangles.
