VOLUME VUniversityFRIDAY,RUSH MEDICAL COLLEGE./. THE AFFILIATION OF RUSH MEDICAL COLLEGEWITH THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO.Rush Medical College and the University ofChicago are separate and independent institutions,but they are working in close cooperation throughthe arrangement called affiliation. Neither theCollege nor the University resigns any portion ofits independence in consequence of the relation.Each, however, gains advantages that could notbe secured by either in isolation.The University has no Medical School, andit does not grant degrees in medicine. Thediplomas in medicine are conferred by RushMedical College, not by the University. Affiliationbetween the two institutions means that the twoboards of trustees and the two faculties haveentered into an agreement to correlate theirfacilities for instruction so that each will supplement the other so far as possible. On the onehand both parties desire that medical educationshall have the broadest practicable foundation incollegiate training. On the other hand bothparties recognize the wisdom of economizing timein professional preparation whenever this can bedoiie without serious sacrifice either of generalculture or of special discipline.Both the College and the University desirethat, in so far as students of medicine are able to NUMBER 11RecordI5> 1900pursue studies which are primarily of generalrather than of professional value, they shall betaught by instructors who devote themselvesexclusively to investigation and teaching. Thistends to insure against a too technical and specialtreatment of general science, and it conduces to thesame breadth of view which is the aim of all liberaleducation. It is desirable that students of medicine shall be introduced to professional studythrough the atmosphere of liberal culture whichbelongs in the University. To this end it isnecessary that students who propose to study medicine shall have had the same elementary trainingthat is required for admission to the undergraduatework of the University.Rush Medical College lias accordingly enteredinto an agreement with the University which involves the following steps toward satisfying thehighest educational requirements. First: theUniversity is permitted to exercise general supervision of the educational policy of the College.Second : the University conducts the entranceexaminations, and insists upon qualificationsequivalent to those for admission to corresponding grades in courses for the Bachelor's degree.Third : The first and second years' work of theMedical College is to be transferred entirely tothe University grounds, as soon as practicable.This involves the provision that when the changeis accomplished, only those will be received into90 UNIVERSITY RECORDthe purely technical courses of the College whohave completed the work of the Junior Collegeat the University, dr in general the Sophomorework of a college of high grade. Fourth : thedistinctly professional work of the curriculum isto be increased to three years, thus making a totalmedical course of five years. The additional yearis to be required of all students who enter uponthe third year's work July i, 1904, and thereafter.The policy involved in this arrangement is anattempt to combine the resources of a body ofprofessional educators with those of a body ofmedical experts. It is believed that this planassures the same progress toward the best attainable results in medical education which are soughtelsewhere in medical schools that are organicparts of universities. All the essentials of unifiedeffort are secured without organic union.The development of Rush Medical Collegesince affiliation went into effect is the best evidencethat this belief is justified. The contents of thisnumber of the Record are all the argumentnecessary upon the policy that has produced theseresults. Albion W. Small.//. PLANS FOR THE FUTURE.THE ADDITIONAL BUILDING.It is expected to erect, in the near future, a newClinical Building at an estimated cost of from$75,000 to $100,000, which will add much to thepresent facilities for teaching. During the pastwinter a committee from the Faculty visited theprincipal medical colleges in this country andobtained some valuable suggestions that havebeen utilized in the designs of this new structure.The building will add over 20,000 square feet tothe present space. The plans are now in thehands of the architects and nearly completed.The proposed building is to be fire-proof, sixstories in height, and will contain elevators andall modern improvements.The plans are being drawn so that the newbuilding shall constitute the east wing of the largecollege edifice which it is planned eventually to construct upon the site of the present clinicalbuilding; in the meantime the addition will beconnected with the present structure by corridors.Three floors of the new building will be devotedto the out-patient department. Space will befurnished on these for numerous consultation-rooms, and for several clinical rooms in whichclinics will be conducted daily. There will alsobe several clinical laboratories for use in connection with the various minor clinics and theamphitheater clinic. The new building willfurnish ample library quarters, which will addmuch to the convenience of the students. Theincreased space will enable the college to stillfurther subdivide its classes so that the studentsmay be brought closer to the teachers andinto more immediate contact with the patients.The Freshman class of 1901 and the Freshmanand Sophomore classes of the succeeding yearwill receive all their instruction at the Universitywhere they will occupy the magnificent Hulllaboratories. The college laboratory buildingwill thus be relieved and will afford additionalroom that will also be utilized in conducting thework with the numerous small sections into whichthe classes are divided. When this building iscompleted, its ample space and convenient communication with the present college building andthe- hospital, will furnish superior clinical facilitiesand enable the college to carry out ideal plans forteaching which are difficult to realize in thepresent quarters.THE PROPOSED JOURNALThe Faculty has submitted a report recommending the publication of a scientific periodicalto be conducted by the Faculty. The generalscope of this periodical is intended to be that ofa medium for the preliminary or permanentpublication of the scientific work produced in thevarious departments of the college as well as fromothei sources. As may be inferred from the listof publications by the faculty during the last year,printed elsewhere in this issue, there need be noUNIVERSITY RECORD 91lack of material for the proposed journal ; andthe list submitted is probably far from complete.///. GIFTS AND PRIZES.OPPORTUNITIES FOR BENEFACTIONS.Rush Medical College is in immediate need of anew clinical building, of a college dormitory, of agymnasium for the use of the students, of acommons hall where meals may be served at areasonable rate and of wholesome character, andof foundations for several professorships. Nophilanthropist can build for himself a more enduring monument than to give his name to posterity by endowing any of these objects. Allbequests and gifts should be made to the Trusteesof Rush Medical College, a body of representativeand responsible business men who are not interested financially in the income of the college.THE FREER PRIZES.The list of prizes annually offered by thecollege has been increased during the currentyear by the munificence of Mr. Nathan M. Freer,of the Board of Trustees, who has added to thefunds of the Freer foundation so that the sum ofone hundred dollars annually will be yielded bythe investment.THE EDWARD L HOLMES' PRIZE FOR ORIGINAL RESEARCH.In honor of the late Edward L. Holmes, forseveral years president of the college* the trusteesand faculty have established the Edward L.Holmes' Prize for Original Research, to consist ofa table and scholarship for one session at theMarine Biological Laboratory at Wood's Holl,Mass.This prize is offered in recognition of thegreat service which has been, and is beingrendered to the medical sciences by researchwork in biology. The prize will be offered eachyear to members of the Junior class, and will beawarded for the best piece of work in originalresearch performed in any of the laboratories inRush Medical College.The student will devote his time during theseason at Wood's Holl, to work ..in embryology, general and comparative physiology, or comparative pathology. The future progress of the medical sciences depends to a large extent upon adevelopment of the physiology and pathology ofprotoplasm, such development as can only comefrom the study of the lower organisms. Thisstudy is possible only where a large fauna, especially of the marine types, is at the disposal ofthe worker.It may be safely stated that the Marine Biological Laboratory at Wood's Holl, has contributedmore to the rapid development of biology in thiscountry, and in the international recognition of thework done in America, than ever could have beenaccomplished by the university laboratories alone.Similar benefits are sure to result to scientificmedicine as soon as medical men make use ofthe splendid opportunities offered at Wood's Hollin the way of material and in the inspirationderived from contact and cooperation with otherscientific workers.It is to be hoped that the near future will finda considerable number of medical students amongthe workers at Wood's Holl. By reason of theirfamiliarity with, and interest in applied medicine,the bearing of the newer discoveries in biologyupon the medical problems awaiting solution,will be more promptly and certainly realized.IV.

L. Holmes, for more than thirty years professor of Ophthalmology and Otology and foreight years president of the college.Edward Lorenzo Holmes, M.D., LL.D., whodied February 12, 1900, was a man who had finished and rounded out a noble life.He was born at Dedham, Mass., in 1828, received a good grammar and high-school educationand entered Harvard University in the autumn of1845, receiving in 1849 tne degree of A.B. Magnacum Laude. He was immediately appointedteacher of Latin, Greek, French, and Mathematics in the Roxbury Latin School and wasselected also as tutor to Edmund Quincy, the sonof Josiah Quincy, president of Harvard, a proofthat his college record had been satisfactory.Two years later he began the study of medicinetaking his degree from the Harvard MedicalSchool in 1854. After a year's interneship inthe Massachusetts General Hospital he went toEurope paying especial attention in his studiesto diseases of the eye and ear.On his return to America he removed to Chicago and became a pioneer in ophthalmologicalwork in the West, being for many years generallyrecognized as the leading specialist of that part ofthe country in diseases of the eye and ear. Hetook an active part in medical matters, participating in the work of the societies and being a frequent contributor to the medical press. His mostnotable achievement and what must always remain as an enduring monument to his memorywas the founding of what is now the IllinoisCharitable Eye and Ear Infirmary of which institution he was the head for thirty years. From1859 *6* tne time °f his death he was connected94 UNIVERSITY RECORDwith Rush Medical College, from 1869 to 1898 asprofessor of Ophthalmology and Otology, andfrom 1890 to 1898 as president of the college.On his seventieth birthday he resigned and wasmade professor emeritus.The briefest recital of the main facts in President Holmes's career indicates that he was a manof deeds and that from the view-point of workaccomplished he was eminently successful. Itwas often a matter of surprise to those who firstsaw him to know that in this plain man of quietmanner, simple speech, and retiring modesty theysaw the renowned oculist whose learning andskill were recognized throughout the country.Dr. Holmes accomplished much because havingbeen well trained at the outset he pursued later adefinite course unswervingly and patiently untilthe end in view was reached. Without ostentatious display, with nothing of the dramatic in hiswritings, his lectures, or his clinical teaching, heworked steadily and persistently. The foundation of the man's success was a noble character.There was nothing of deceit or of dishonesty inhim. He was equally plain and straightforward.He had as a great element of strength a store ofreserve force. In his lectures one realized thathe was telling not all he knew but all he thoughtwas best for the listener to be told. He possessedcultivation and refinement, was a great lover ofmusic and an accomplished linguist, was well informed on a great variety of topics, a fine conversationalist, a loved friend and neighbor. Ithas been said of him that he never forgot. Thesecharacteristics joined to perseverance and integrity of character enabled him to reach the eminence he attained and to command the respect ofall who knew him.When he resigned from the faculty and waspresented with a loving cup at the Commencement dinner of the year 1898, all felt that it wasmore than a mere formal ceremony, his colleaguesrealized that they were honoring themselves morethan Dr. Holmes in drinking with him from thissacred beaker of fellowship. It will be many years before the sweet influences of his quiet natureshall cease to be felt. Of him it may be trulysaid that the world is the better for his havinglived in it.V. THE NEW ORGANIZATION OF THE CURRICULUMIN RUSH MEDICAL COLLEGE.REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION AND THE ANNUAL ANNOUNCEMENT FOR 1900-1901.The requirements for admission to the Freshman class of Rush college, after July 1, 1900, willbe the same as those for admisson to the Juniorcollege (Freshman class) of the University ofChicago. An explicit statement of these requirements, together with full information in regardto the faculty, buildings, and equipment ; requirements for admission to advanced standing; therequirements for graduation ; fees, and deposits ;estimated cost of attendance ; departments andcourses of instruction ; fellowships, hospital internes, and prizes ; required text-books ; and a listof the students in attendance during the sessionof 1 899-1 900, is contained in the Annual Announcement for 1 900-1. This may be obtained at the college office or it will be sent toanyone on application by mail to the college.THE CONTINUOUS SESSION. (QUARTERL Y SYSTEM. )At a meeting of the faculty, held in February1899, ^ was decided to adopt the quarterly system in vogue at the University of Chicago, andalso to introduce a considerable number of elective studies into the junior and senior years ofthe medical curriculum. Some apprehension wasentertained as to the outcome of these innovations, but the experience of the college, sincetheir adoption July 1, 1900, has confirmed thewisdom of these changes, and all apprehensionas to the possible difficulties has been allayed.The medical branches lend themselves with especial facility to subdivision into such courses asare required under the quarterly system. In mostof the branches, the study of which is extendedover two or more quarters, it has been found easyto subdivide in such a way that a student maybegin their study with advantage at the beginningUNIVERSITY RECORD 95of any quarter, commencing with Courses 2 or 3,for example, of any branch, quite as advantageously as with Course 1. This reduces the necessity of duplication of courses to a minimum.The continuous session presents the same advantages in medical colleges as in the institutionsof general learning. It is as wasteful to allow alarge educational institution, with expensivebuildings and equipment to lie idle for three orfour months in the year as it would be for a manufacturer to allow an expensive plant to remainidle during a corresponding period. Many students who are obliged to pay their own way and tospend some part of the year in earning moneyfor this purpose, find it a great convenience tospend the summer months in study, because theycan more readily obtain employment, especiallyas teachers, during the Autumn and Winter seasons of the year. The proportion of men whoare thus benefited, is larger among medical students than among the undergraduate students inthe college courses. The Summer Quarter hasproven of especial value, moreover, to studentsof the Junior and Senior years, because of theabundance of clinical material available duringthe summer months. The Dispensary clienteleduring this season, presents cases illustrative ofmany diseases which are not to be seen at otherseasons of the year.Not the least conspicuous advantage of thequarterly system, is the concentration of coursesto which it leads ; fewer branches being taken upat one time, more hours per week being devotedto each of these. A course of study occupyingonly one or two hours a week throughout theyear is much less thorough and effective than acourse occupying six or eight hours a week forone quarter. It has been the uniform testimonyof the students of the college, and of the members of the faculty, during the last session, thatthe more compact and concentrated courses outlined under the quarterly system, have been moreenjoyable and profitable than those formerly invogue. THE ELECTIVE SYSTEM.During the current session, about one third ofthe branches of the Junior and Senior years havebeen elective. In view of the fact that this plan wasnew, both to the members of the faculty and withfew exceptions, to the student body, the readinesswith which they adapted themselves to it, and thediscretion and good judgment displayed by thestudents in filling out the registration cards, hasbeen very gratifying. The increased enthusiasmand interest which was anticipated under thissystem, has been fully realized and not lessamong the members of the faculty than amongthe students. Stimulated by the thought thatstudents registering for a particular course haddone so voluntarily, and not by the compulsionof college rules, some of the teachers of the faculty have been animated, as it were, by a newspirit, and some of the branches, especially thoseof a clinical nature, which were formerly poorlyattended, and from which students were constantlyseeking to be excused, have been largely attendedand the students have signified, in an emphaticmanner, their appreciation of the change in thecharacter and efficiency of the teaching.The fear which had been expressed in regardto the elective system, that students would seek tospecialize and would concentrate their energiesupon certain lines, to the neglect of others, hasproven to be quite groundless. There are severalefficient safeguards against this abuse.1. The veto power of the dean, or other officer,whose approval of the student's registration cardis necessary before he can enter upon the courseschosen. It is the business of this officer to consult with the student and to see to it that he selectshis work judiciously, so as to insure a broad,thorough training.2. In the requirements for graduation it is specified that when the student presents himself forthe degree, he must present evidence of havingtaken a minimum amount of work in each of theessential branches.3. A thorough, final examination ; written, oral,96 UNIVERSITY RECORDand practical is to be given in each of the practical departments when the student comes up forgraduation. Each student must see to it, therefore, that the courses which he elects are such thatwill prepare him to stand this rigid examination.There will be little temptation, therefore, to electworlj under teachers who are supposed to be morelenient in their teaching methods than others.Last, but not least, is the common sense andgood judgment of the student himself, whichfaculties are prone to underestimate. The average age of the students in Rush Medical Collegeis about twenty-four years. A large proportionare college-bred men. They are fully alive tothe fact that the successful practitioner in medicine, even though he may ultimately limit hispractice to some special line, must have a broad,thorough training in all the departments of medicine, and the experience of the past year hasshown that they elect their courses with this endin view. This very act of election with theintrospection which it necessitates on the part ofeach student, that is to say, the careful study ofhis own ability and needs, and the adjustment ofthe curriculum to meet them, is an educationalresource of no mean value.The authorities of the college have been so wellsatisfied with the results of the elective systemduring the past year, that at the last meeting ofthe faculty it was unanimously decided that all ofthe work of the Junior and Senior years be madeelective after July i, 1900.Under the safeguards above mentioned, it isbelieved that this plan is free from the dangersof undue specialization in the college course, andthat under its broad freedom the many advantages of the elective system will be realized inthe fullest possible manner.VI. THE EXAMINATION PROBLEM.For what do examinations stand ?It makes little difference in what departmentof social activities this inquiry is made, conclusion must be contingent upon the character ofthe examiner. Wholesale denunciation of examinations implies general discredit of examiners, while implicit reliance upon the efficacy of the test,assumes wisdom and jurisdiction upon the partof the examining body, possible only in therarest instances.More and more the purpose of examination,of all sorts, becomes practical, in an effort tofurther the administration of various functions.Examinations are a part of the machinery ofaffairs, clumsy to be sure, but aspiring to a certainutility. Gradually is thus displaced the odiouscomparative examination, whose end is vanity andstrife.With all improvement in spirit, however, theexamination scheme is imperfect, and its shortcomings become a reproach, when the test fails toreasonably determine the conditions with reference to which it was invoked.Upon this proposition a huge percentage of allexaminations will be open to criticism. From thecivil service to the highest literary planes, the ,failure of examinations, as held, to fairly determine the essential facts, is admitted.From the view-point of medical educators, theproblem is increasingly important.Only those in close touch with the work, fullyrealize the complexity of the readjustments inmedical education.Two main factors in the evolution are operative :1. The education which it is possible to giveis inexpressibly broader and better than heretofore.2. The demand that society makes for the best ;is slowly being felt.Under existing conditions the difficulty lies inthe determination of the fact as to an individual'sprofessional equipment.The school essays this task, in its curriculum.How efficiently depends upon its methods, but innot the minority of cases too perfunctorily.Society, recognizing the formal character ofschool certificates, attempts to review this report,and with lamentable lack of ideal results.UNIVERSITY RECORD 97The whole picture would be grotesque, were itless grave.State examinations, at times corrupt, alwayssuperficial, and upon lines not practical, servingto legitimize a vast group of people and practices, the exponents of the worst in medical preparation, in turn find the vulnerable spot in eventhe best of schools, and expose to criticism, moreor less merited, the value of the stamp which thediploma represents.We criticise with absolute truth the inadequacyof the efforts of medical licensing boards. Wecharge that the total restriction of irregular instruction and practice is nominal and a disappointment.The rejoinder that they at least reject some ofour graduates is to the point, if not conclusive.The essential flaw is in the method employedby schools and boards.The methods in vogue are in great part due tothe fact that the work undertaken is in excess ofthe facilities at command.Only by the most rigid current scrutiny can aschool gauge the progress of its students.Except it examine and cull constantly throughits course, its final inspection must be hopelesslyfaulty. The point most at issue today is, withthorough methods during the course, how muchis left for the final examination.Opinions will vary upon this point, but it mustbe conceded that the following change willoccur :Elementary, scientific branches will be moreand more presented in academic surroundings.The so-called "premedical courses" will growrapidly.Directly as the distinction between scientificand applied studies becomes sharper, will thetype of final examination change.Soon its formality must be merged in the mostpractical inquiry which can be made.The final examination should be not only crucial ; it should be fairly representative of thecapacity of the student to use his knowledge. Methods for this determination are yet to be devised, but the revolution is at hand.It will not do that the best power to acquirefacts shall pass for the best knowledge. The relation of facts to their utility is the test of technical education. The examination must fit thisreform.At this point appears the necessity of harmonyof plan between the educating bodies and the licensing bodies. They should not be antagonistic,nor even mutually corrective. They should becoordinate.A good school cannot afford to mold its policywith reference to any licensing body, yet its interests are at stake. The dangers from capriceare fortunately small, but the imposition upongraduates broadly, practically, thoroughly trained,of an examination of purely technical charactercertainly is a misfortune and perhaps a peril.Quite beside this point, but of vital importanceto the utility of licensing bodies, is the result atlarge of their methods.A fair student can pass almost any examinationby such boards upon mere memorizing of available literature. He need hardly have entered amedical school. To safeguard this opening, therequirement is that the candidate possess a diploma.And whence this diploma ? From legally incorporated schools ; which means as nearly norestriction as is conceivable. The licensingboards cannot correct it. Their only means ofmeeting it is to make examinations that will bepractical tests.At this day the possibilities in that directionare limited. The organization, facilities, andstability of such bodies are not adequate. Until,however, that mark can be reached, which dividesthe formal from the genuine, the labors of thepublic censor must remain lame and insufficient.So far as we can see, the hope lies in thegrowth of truer methods of education, with its inevitable reflex upon the methods of public examiners.UNIVERSITY RECORDGiven accord between the most enlightenedcolleges and the state examiners the spuriousmaterial will be rejected, but let not the world ofeducators fail to see that upon it lies the burdenof demonstration.VII. THE LIBRARY.Preliminary steps toward establishing a librarywere taken in the autumn of 1898. Rooms weresecured and fitted up in the large building westof the laboratory. The nucleus of the library wasformed by a number of complete files and miscellaneous books previously donated to or purchasedby the Department of Pathology. Among thefiles were the Index Medicus; the Index Catalogueof the Surgeon-general's Library in Washington ;the American Journal of the Medical Sciences. Beginning with January 1, 1899, regular subscriptions were entered for about 130 periodicals inthe English, German, French, Italian, Scandinavian, Russian, and other languages. Graduallythe number of periodicals has increased to 140.The library has been favored from the beginningby donations from members of the faculty, alumni, and friends of the college, and medical publishers. At present the list of donors, large andsmall, includes over fifty names. The largestsingle acquisition is the Allen collection, giventhe Presbyterian Hospital by the late J. damsAllen, a former president of Rush College, andtransferred August 17, 1899, to tne Rush Librarythrough the kindness of the managers of the hospital and of Mr. Charles L.

The trip included northern Illinois, northern Iowa, Nebraska, eastern Colorado, centralKansas, northern Missouri, and western Illinois;in all forty-eight towns and cities, in sixteen ofwhich were schools affiliated or cooperating withthe University. Strong clubs were organized atLincoln, Neb., and Denver, Colo.The following is the report of the meeting inLincoln as given by the morning papers :The graduates of the University of Chicago living in Lincoln met last night in the parlors of the Lincoln Hotel andcompleted the preliminary organization of a Nebraska University of Chicago Club. The meeting was called by MayoFesler, the General Secretary of the University of ChicagoAlumni Association, who is making a tour of the westernstates in the interest of the association. The club will be composed of alumni living throughout Nebraska and also thosepersons who at any time have attended the University ofChicago. There are over fifty eligible to membership. Thealumni living in Lincoln are G. M. Lambertson, Dr. CharlesH. Gordon, Dr. H. J. Davenport, Dr. Charles A. Ellwood,Professor A. B. Lewis, Professor Robert Moritz, HelenBackus, and Rev. F. M. Williams. A number live in Omaha,Grand Island, and Hastings. A committee composed of Dr.Charles H. Gordon (chairman), Dr. H. J. Davenport, Dr.Charles A. Ellwood, Professor A. B. Lewis, and Miss HelenBackus was appointed to draw up a constitution and makecomplete arrangements for the organization and arrange areception for Dr. Harry Pratt Judson, Professor of PoliticalScience in the University of Chicago, who is to deliver thecommencement oration at the University of Nebraska June 6.The club at Denver, though not so large as theone at Lincoln, is fully as enthusiastic. Thereare about thirty eligible to membership in andnear Denver. The following report of the meeting appeared in the Denver papers :The Denver Alumni of the University of Chicago met yesterday at 229 Equitable Building to arrange for a permanentorganization of a Denver University of Chicago Club. Mr. Mayo Fesler, Secretary of the Alumni Association, presidedat the meeting. A committee consisting of L. B. Joralmon,A. B. Seaman, and Julius H. P. Gauss was appointed toarrange for a meeting in the fall, when the permanentorganization will be completed and a banquet given, atwhich President Harper and others will be present. Theclub will include all the alumni and those who have attendedthe University. The alumni in and near Denver are as follows : A. B. Seaman, Dr. H. A. Howe, Rev. L. W. Terry, Dr.F. Hellems, Professor N. M. Fenneman, Professor GeorgeNorlin, F. H. Minard, J. H. P. Gauss, C. W. Stewart, EstherD. Hunt, N. F. Hoyt, Fred Steigmeyer, C. F. Breed, W. W.Cole, C. H. Woods, J. J. Herron, J. F. Hunter, C. B. Walker.Arrangements were made to organize at St.Louis, but the street-car strike prevented.Everywhere the alumni showed the greatestinterest in the University and loyalty to theiralma mater. The remark has often been madethat the peculiar class arrangements here wouldalways prevent any class or college spirit andthat the graduates would have no real love forthe University after they leave her halls, but thetrip of the Secretary certainly refutes any such statement. With only two or three exceptions the twohundred and more alumni met on the trip provedtheir esteem and loyalty in many ways which cannot be here enumerated. Nor is this loyaltyfound only among those from the collegiate department ; those who have taken higher degreesare just as enthusiastic in their support. Andthe alumni of the old University, who have beenofficially incorporated into the new, everywhereexpressed the greatest interest in the welfare andprogress of the new University. While they cannot feel the same ties of associations which boundthem to the old institution, yet they gladly transfer their support to tbe new with its greater fieldof usefulness. There are now six clubs organizedby the alumni — the Chicago Alumni Club, theChicago Alumnae Club, the Eastern AlumniClub at New York, the Indianapolis University of Chicago Club, the Nebraska Club,and the Denver Club. These organizationscertainly indicate a healthy spirit toward the University on the part of her graduates. Within ayear other clubs will be organized and made theUNIVERSITY RECORD 111centers of University influence and support. Suchorganizations will mean much to the future of theUniversity.ANNUAL MEETING OF THE EASTERN ALUMNI CLUB.The Eastern Alumni Club held its secondannual banquet at the Hotel Manhattan, NewYork, Monday evening, April 23. PresidentJohn J. Gorham was toastmaster. Among theguests were President Seth Low, of ColumbiaUniversity; Professor Albion W. Small, of theUniversity of Chicago; Miss Isabelle Stone,Ph.D., '97, now of Vassar College; EdwardGoodman, of Chicago ; Franklin Johnson, Jr., ofNew York, and Rev. J. W. Riddle, of Philadelphia.President Harper's trip abroad prevented himfrom being present but he was ably representedby Dr. Small, whose speech was warmly applauded.A letter was read from President McKinley,regretting his inability to accept the invitation tobe present. The President of the Club writes asfollows :President Seth Low's presence was highly appreciated.His genial and courteous bearing at the reception precedingthe banquet and during his address won for him increasedesteem. He spoke with admiration of President Harper,whose mind was so fertile in its originality in so many waysand in attempting to make the university useful all the yearround. The University of Chicago, he said, would have theaffectionate interest of every American, as Dr. Harper hadsecured money that had been obtained in commercial channels and diverted it to the cause of education. He said itwas natural that Chicago should be different from NewYork. New York's function was to interpret the outer world,to make one world understand the other. Chicago is essentially more American than New York. Each city has itsmission, and neither should look down on the other. MissIsabelle Stone, a late graduate of the University of Chicago,and now a teacher in Vassar College, greatly delighted thebanqueters with her gracefully delivered speech. FranklinJohnson, Jr., and Rev. J. W. Riddle were called upon forshort addresses ; the latter, who was at the old university in1864, gave amusing incidents of those early days in the oldbuilding on Cottage Grove ave.

The total number in attendance from the beginning of the Autumn Quarterto the present is 179. In numbers, therefore, aswell as in quality of effort in study and in well-sustained interest in the other activities of schoollife the year has been a good one.One experiment of the year has been the student council established at the beginning of theSpring Quarter. As the Academy is to be aschool for boys only hereafter, this council hasconsisted of those boys who have shown themselves to be representative of the school in bothcharacter and identification with the variousschool interests. Meeting with the Dean once aweek they have considered many of the mattersof general school interest and have been both alegislative body to the extent of recommendationsto the faculty and executive in taking control ofand giving direction to student enterprises.Though not yet out of the experimental stagethis council promises well in the two directions ofdeveloping in the council members a sense ofresponsibility for the common interests and welfare of the school and of giving to the faculty alarger view of school matters from the student'sstandpoint.Of the new features of the school for anotheryear two thorough courses in manual trainingand a new gymnasium are the most important.This manual -training work will consist of shopwork in wood and drawing and will be thoroughenough to meet the requirements of those scien-116 UNIVERSITY RECORDtific and technical schools which accept this subject for entrance.Work on the new gymnasium is to be commenced within a few weeks so that the completedstructure will be in readiness for use next fall. Itis to be of brick and will contain both the equipment and floor space for the use of the classes inphysical training and ample room for the variousforms of indoor athletic sports and games, the expectation being to provide so far as is practicable a large indoor playground for late fall, winter,and early spring uses.The graduating class consists of 41 members,of whom at least 35 will continue to study atcollege or technical school. There are fewschools from which a larger number proportionately go each year to college, and it is believed,therefore, that there are few where a boy will getso much stimulus and incentive to the formationof the college purpose as here where he will finda straight road and congenial companionship bythe way. This feature together with the democratic spirit of the student body and the keen andwell-sustained interest in athletics is giving aunique and individual character to the MorganPark Academy.THE CALENDAR.JUNE 16-23, 1900.Friday, June 15.Junior College Day. — A Holiday.Saturday, June 16.Meetings of University Ruling Bodies, HaskellOriental Museum :The Administrative Board of the UniversityPress, 8: 30 a.m.The Administrative Board of Student Organizations, Publications, and Exhibitions, 10:00 A.M.The Administrative Board of University Affiliations, 11: 30 A.M.The Faculty of the Divinity School, 11:30A.M.Baseball : The University of Pennsylvania vs.the University of Chicago is played on MarshallField at 4:00 p.m.Graduate and Divinity Finals in Public Speaking are held in Kent Theater at 8:00 p.m..
