VOLUME V NUMBER 17University RecordFRIDAY, JULY 27, 1900!THE UNIVERSITY OF CRACOW CELEBRATION.Early in June the University of Cracow celebrated its 500th anniversary. In response toinvitations a number of universities sent delegates,the United States being represented by PresidentOilman and Professor Haupt, of the Johns Hopkins, Dr. Barabasz, of the Catholic University ofWashington, Dr. Franczak, of the Buffalo Medical College, and Dr. Felix Lengfeld, of the University of Chicago. No country excepting Austria-Hungary sent more than six university delegatesand France and Italy sent but one each. Thecelebration opened with a soiree given by themunicipal council of Cracow on Wednesday,June 6. Thursday morning about 8:00 o'clockthe faculty and guests marched from the CollegiumNovum to the church of Notre Dame where religious services were conducted by the PrinceBishop of Cracow. The procession again formedand moved to the Academic Church of St. Annewhere the main exercises were held. Addresseswere made by the Rector, the Minister of PublicInstruction, foreign representatives and delegatesof various Polish societies at r >me and abroad.It was understood that one man from each countryshould make a short congratulatory speech andAmerica was fortunate in having President Gil-man as its spokesman. When the Polish delegatesbegan to speak it was evident even to those who4id not understood a word that the remarks were largely political and soon we were in the midst ofa patriotic a "pro-Poland" symposium. Theintense Polish patriotism was again shown whenan honorary doctor's degree was conferred on H.Sienkiewicz. He received an ovation that lastedseveral minutes. The formal exercises lasted untilafter 2:00 o'clock and were followed by lunchesgiven by the deans and others, by a universitybanquet of 500 covers at 5:30, and a gala performance in the theater at 9:00 o'clock. Fridayat 11:00 commemorative tablets and a monument to Copernicus were unveiled in the courtyard of the University Library. An excursionto the salt-mine of Wieliczka in the afternoonand a reception at the house of Count Tarnowski,Rector of the University, completed the program.Perhaps the most significant feature of thecelebration was the interest shown by all classesof people. The nobles opened their palaces tothe strangers, the peasants left the fields and inholiday costume marched in procession beforethe faculty and guests, the schoolboys and girlsturned out in honor of the event and the shopkeepers put up their shutters and helped makeJune 7 a holiday. All seemed to feel that if Poland ever lives again it will be largely throughwork done in its universities. And the delegatesfelt that the hearty hospitality and kindly goodfeeling of all with whom they came in contactcould not be surpassed.157158 UNIVERSITY RECORDTRACK ATHLETES AT PARIS.On June 22, W. A. Moloney, Charles L. Burroughs, Henry B. Slack, Fred. G. Moloney andHarvey H. Lord left the University under Mr.Stagg's guidance to compete in the revivedOlympic Games held in Paris July 14-22.

The action of certainFrench officials in repudiating an agreementwhich they made with the American contestantswhereby the latter were allowed the privilege ofhaving the records which they might make onMonday count in deciding results of eventsregularly held on Sunday, disgusted and saddenedevery lover of fairness. After the Americans hadproved themselves superior to all other competitors they were handicapped so heavily in thesucceeding races that many of them did not start.Fred. Moloney was third in the no meters hurdlerace and Burroughs won his heat in the 100meters flat race held on Saturday July 14. Burroughs injured himself on the rough track.

To overcome the sameprejudice on the part of his disciples was one ofhis greatest endeavors. The form in which Jesustaught was frequently poetic, and almost alwaysillustrative. So far, of course, he can hardly be amodel for a teacher in an ordinary school, butmay be for the professional teacher of morals, atleast in so far as his use of illustration implies theunity of life. The same qualification, however,does not have to be made as to his use of the conversational method in teaching, for here he showshimself to be following along lines which are ofuniversal application, namely, so to direct a conversation that question and answer will lead tocreative thinking. As a teacher, further, Jesusmade use of the hyperbole as a pedagogical expedient to arouse attention. He is careful, however, to restate truths soberly, as well as to live whatmay be called "controlling" statements.Professor H. L. Willett, in a chapel address on"The Companionship of a Great Book," July 16 ?dwelt on the thought :It is a commonplace of experience that the>choice, early in life, of some masterpiece of literature to be a vade mecum, is likely to prove an invaluable aid in character-making. Not the numberof books read, but the thoroughness of the process,.is the test of culture. Such books as the Pilgrim's Progress, Goethe's Faust, Ruskin's Seven-Lamps, Carlyle's Heroes and Hero Worship,.Amiel's Journal, Shakespeare's Hamlet, or Lear,Browning's Saul, the Fourth Gospel, or the Epistle to the Romans* Tennyson's In Memoriam,would serve, any one of them, as each of themhas in particular cases, as a literary companion,an inspiration, an artistic ideal, and a norm ofconduct.In Professor Willett's address on the day following, he traced "The Four Steps of True Culture."The four bands of relief on the dome of Arthur's palace symbolize the growth of the raceand of the individual. "On the lowest, beastswere slaying men ; and on the second, men wereslaying beasts; and on the third were warriors,perfect men ; and on the fourth were men withgrowing wings." The various nations illustratetoday the lower ranges of this relief. The function of all education is to assist in reaching thehigher circles. The normal growth of a life willissue in the attempt to realize the highest, not forself alone, but for society.DR. DEWEY'S NEW BOOK.The third edition of "The School and Society,"by Dr. Dewey, made its appearance yesterday.It has met with unexpected approval among educators generally, and is looked upon by many asthe leading pedagogical publication of the pastyear. In this connection, Dr. A. B. Hinsdale, of160 UNIVERSITY RECORDthe University of Michigan, in his paper on"Educational Progress during the Year," readbefore the National Council of Education, atCharleston, the first of the month, said asfollows :In the field of pure pedagogy, one of the most noteworthybooks of the year is also one of the smallest, Professor JohnDewey's "The School and Society." Probably there is nodeep-thinking student of education who has not at, timesbeen oppressed by the feeling that the training in our schoolsis too remote from the life that the children will afterwardlead, or who has not asked himself the question how theinterval may be narrowed. Thinking in this line has beenstrongly stimulated by the increasing valuation that men areplacing upon social studies and social interests. ProfessorDewey has not only given the subject much study, but hehas done two things in addition, first, organized a schoolfor the express purpose of trying what may be done in thisdirection, and, secondt stating in this book the principles onwhich, as he sees it, the problem must be solved. More eyesare now fixed upon the university elementary school at Chicago than upon any other elementary school in the country,or probably in the world — eyes watching to see the outcomeof the interesting experiment. No man of sense expects tosee the children of the people generally taught in schoolslike the one that Professor Dewey has set up, but there aremany who are hoping that this school may contributesomething of value to the progress of elementary education.OFFICIAL NOTICES.CORRESPONDENCE-STUDY CONFERENCE.On Monday afternoon, July 30, at 4: 30, theAnnual Conference of Correspondence-study students and instructors will be held in the Chapel.The aim and method of the work, the results derivable from it, and its place in the University'seducational system, will be discussed by membersof the Faculties and representatives from thestudent body.President Harper will preside and address theConference on "The Place of CorrespondenceWork in the University."

The number of teacherswho have enrolled for courses primarily for thesuggestion and help which they may thus securefor their daily class-room work has been nearlytwenty-five per cent, greater than before. Manyof these students are supplementing their correspondence work by resident work this summer,and some of them will speak of their experienceat the Conference.A booklet containing sample lessons from various courses, together with other general information, will be distributed at this meeting.

The objects of thesystem have been 1) to provide courses of lecturesextending over periods varying in length fromone to six weeks, designed especially for thosepeople who cannot remain at the University during an entire term, or for other reasons do notdesire to take advantage of the regular coursesof instruction. 2) To afford the regular studentsopportunity to come in contact with some of thegreat currents of thought outside of departmentsin which they are specializing. 3) To provide alimited number of popular lectures and entertainments to enliven and vary the routine of University duties and obligations.The attendance at the lectures has been largeand enthusiastic. The public halls of the Univer sity are packed at two different lecture periods ofeach afternoon of four days of the week. Inmany instances the seating capacity of the hallshas proved insufficient to accommodate theaudiences assembled. Over 1700 tickets havebeen issued to members of the University andmany have been sold to others desiring to securesome of the advantages of the Open Lecturesystem. It is confidently predicted that as theadvantages offered by this movement of the University become more widely known, the attendancefrom those who are not registered for regularUniversity work will be largely increased.THE MIDWAY NATATORIUM.The arrangement whereby members of the University are permitted to use the natatorium at thecorner of 60th street and Cottage Grove avenuehas proved to be exceedingly popular. Alreadyfive hundred tickets have been issued and moreare being called for every day. Mr. Butterworthis on hand from four until five o'clock Tuesday,Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to give instruction to men unacquainted with the art of swimmingand Miss Merriman makes daily appointmentswith the women for the same purpose.Tickets may be obtained from the Registrar'sOffice. The privileges are available at all timesexcept Saturday afternoon and Sunday.SOCIOLOGICAL EXCURSIONS.The class in Municipal Sociology has beenvisiting some typical municipal institutions, witha view to seeing the contributions Chicago is making toward a solution of some of the difficult cityproblems of today. The first excursion, on Saturday, July 7, was made to the Hyde Park crib, thesource of Chicago's water supply, and to CalumetHarbor, to see one of its two great avenues ofwater transportation. The second visit, on Saturday, July 14, was by the Santa F£ railway to thedrainage canal, where the trustees furnished aguide and operated the Lockport dam for thebenefit of the University company. The thirdvisit on Monday, July 23, was to the Vacation162 UNIVERSITY RECORDSchools, under the guidance of Supt. Thurston.The party met at the Haven School on Wabashavenue, and after attending the opening exercises,and visiting the class rooms, divided, part goingto the Foster School on the West Side, and partto the Adams School on the North Side. Theremaining excursions are to the Public Library,and to the South and West Parks.SUMMER RECREATION.The students of the Summer Quarter outside oftheir regular work in class-room and study hoursfind abundant opportunity for recreation. TheUniversity tennis courts, the public golf links inJackson Park, and the open tennis courts in allthe parks attract many. At the lagoons in Washington and Jacksons parks, facilities for boatingare found, and the beautiful boulevards attractmany of the students for cycling and tally-hoparties. Trolley rides to the suburbs, and sailingparties on the lakes or steamboat trips to thelocal points along the shore furnish enjoyablerelaxation for others. The members of the University have now full privileges for swimming atthe Midway Natatorium. Many of the studentsvisiting the Great Lakes for the first time are takingthe opportunity to visit the summer resorts suchas Benton Harbor, St. Joseph, South Haven,Grand Haven, Milwaukee, Michigan City, Lincoln Park, the Municipal Water cribs, and fishingpiers. The special means of recreation for thewomen of the University are rowing on the parklagoons, tennis and golf in the parks. The chiefinterest among the women, however, seems to becentered in the Natatorium where instruction inswimming is given to women by Miss Merrimanevery day in the week.MUSIC A I THE UNIVERSITY.A series of concerts has been arranged for theSummer Quarter, consisting of a concert by theUniversity Band given each Monday afternoon at5:00 p.m. upon the University campus, and aseries oi Chamber Music Concerts given on Wednesday evenings at eight o'clock in KentTheater.Among those who have already appeared at theWednesday evening concerts are Mr. FrederickHorace Clark, Professor of Pianoforte playing atthe Northern Indiana Normal University, Valparaiso, Indiana.
