VOLUME V NUMBER 30University RecordFRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1900THE AUTUMN QUARTER AT OUR AFFILIATEDINSTITUTIONS.RUSH MEDICAL COLLEGE.The registration books of Rush Medical College for the Autumn Quarter 1900 were closedOctober 5 with a total of 807 students. Someof these have since withdrawn in order to spendmore time in preparatory work, some havingtransferred their registration to the University, sothat the total registration remains as follows :freshmen, 128; sophomores, 215; juniors, 188;seniors, 209. About 120 applications for admission were refused because of inadequate preparation. The number of college graduates applyingfor admission is much larger than in previousyears.Opening exercises for the Autumn Quarterwere held in accordance with a long establishedcustom, but this year these exercises took placein the University Hall, Fine Arts Building, instead of in the college building. The addresswas delivered by Professor Barker of the department of anatomy at the University and at Rush.The degree of Doctor of Medicine was conferredupon the following graduates :Andrist, James WalterBetts, Charles Allen, M.D.Cossairt, William SantfordCram,- Philip Alfred, M.D.Jenkins, Charles Edwin Kelly, James WilliamMiller, John AnthonyRathert, Edward TheodoreSouder, Ralph WittSwedenburg, Francis Gus-Jones, Howard Gwynfil, Ph.B. tavus. This is the first time in the history of the institution that the degree has been conferred atany time other than the close of the annual session in the spring. Hereafter the degree will beconferred at the end of any quarter upon suchstudents as have successfully completed the required course for the degree.The attendance during the Summer Quarterwas more than double that of last year, when thequarterly system first went into operation at Rush.It is evident that the quarterly system, providingcourses of instruction in all departments, meets ademand on the part of our students, and the prediction made a year ago that the quarterly systemwill be found as advantageous in medical as inuniversity instruction has been clearly demonstrated.The following additions to the faculty havebeen made, dating July 1, 1900. As professor ofanatomy, Dr. , Lewellys F. Barker, formerly ofJohns Hopkins University. As professor of physiology Professor Jacques Loeb, of the Universityof Chicago. As assistant professor of physiology,Edward P. Lyon, formerly of Bradley Polytechnic,of Peoria. To the department of anatomy, DnPreston Kyes, of Johns Hopkins medical school,and Dr. Donald Armour, of University College,London.The system of extra-mural clinical instructionwas inaugurated during the Summer Quarter at theWest Side Hebrew Dispensary, and courses were277278 UNIVERSITY RECORDoffered by Drs. Isaac Abt, Rosa Engelmann,Albert B. Hale, Sydney Kuh, and George L.Morgenthau. In recognition of this work, whichis to be continued throughout the current session,the title of assistant clinical professor at the WestSide Dispensary has been conferred upon thesephysicians for the present year.John M. Dodson, Dean.BUTLER COLLEGE.The year opens with an, improved outlook forthe college. The total attendance in the collegeproper will be approximately the same as it waslast year, but the new students who have enteredare, on the whole, much better prepared thanthose of previous years have been. A large proportion of them come from the better city highschools. The college is becoming better knownthroughout the state for its high standards, andseems to be steadily rising in the estimation ofthe public.The " Teachers* College" department, whichmaintains afternoon and evening courses in oneof the city high-school buildings, begins its session October 29. The enrollment in this newdepartment was nearly one hundred last year,and the present interest in the enterprise indicates a healthy growth this year. The work iscarried on on the same basis as that of the university down-town classes.The vacancy in the department of philosophyand pedagogy on account of the resignation ofProfessor Ames has been filled by the appointment of A. K. Rogers, Ph.D. (U. of C), authorof Modern Philosophy and a frequent contributorto the leading philosophical journals. Miss Caroline Mclntyre, of Radcliffe, has been appointedinstructor in English to fill the vacancy causedby the resignation of Miss Evelyn Butler.J. D. Forrest.BRADLEY POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE.The School of Arts and Sciences of BradleyPolytechnic Institute commenced its fourth year on Tuesday, September 25, 1900, with an enrollment of about 350.The ease and smoothness with which the workbegins indicates the progress which has beenmade in development and organization.In addition to the class work, various otheractivities have begun. The Board of Athleticshas commenced its work ; the council, a bodyrepresenting faculty and students, has had itsfirst meeting; the orchestra and chorus commence rehearsals at once ; a series of talks on" Architecture " is being given on Thursday afternoons by Professor C. A. Bennett, primarily forstudents, but open to the public.Founder's Day was celebrated on October 8.The Institute was honored by the presence ofPresident Harper and Professor A. W. Small fromthe University. The address was given by Rev.C. W. Hiatt, of Cleveland, Ohio. The founderof the Institute, Mrs. Lydia Bradley, was presentat all of the exercises.Of great interest is the fact that the Board ofTrustees, at their meeting of October 8, instructedthe director to prepare and submit, at the nextmeeting, a statement of the conditions with respect to a Summer Quarter and an estimate of theexpenses thereof.THE HARVARD SCHOOL.The Harvard School opened on September 29at its old quarters, 4670 Lake avenue, northwestcorner of Forty-seventh street. The attendanceis almost exactly the same as last year. Thefaculty consists of the same members as last year,with the sole exception of the teacher of physicalculture.The graduating class consists of about twelve,of which half will go the University of Chicago,the other half scattering about several easterncolleges.The school has a large and flourishing primarydepartment, and makes much of the subject ofmanual training, which is much enjoyed. It isUNIVERSITY RECORD 279taught in all grades of the primary department,and in the first three years of the higher department. John J. Schobinger, Dean.WAY LAND ACADEMY.The Autumn Quarter of Wayland Academyopened September 18, with an attendance largerthan that of the previous year. The most hopeful feature of our work from the educational pointof view is the marked increase in the numberof students who take full college preparatorycourses. The equipment of the school is betterthan ever before, and it is expected that in thisdirection notable improvements will be madeduring 1901. H. J.

Booth.Thomas Winfield Booth, D.B., '92, died at hishome on Duqueshe Heights, Pittsburgh, Pa.,Sunday evening, Sept. 9, 1900, at the age ofthirty-six years.He was born in Reynoldsville, Pa., in 1864;took a preparatory course at Reid Institute andthen entered Bucknell University, Lewisburg,Pa., from which he graduated in 1889. In thefall of that year he entered the Baptist UnionTheological Seminary, at Morgan Park, 111., andgraduated in 1892. While in the seminary hewas pastor at Cazenovia and Elsdon, 111. Aftergraduation he entered upon the pastorate at Marinette, Wis., where he built up a strong church.He was afterwards pastor at Muncy, Pa.; Columbus, O., and Jeannette, Pa. Here his healthfailed him. He resigned his pastorate and removed to Ford City, Pa., and subsequently toPittsburgh. At the time of his death he was superintendent of the Baptist Sunday School onDuquesne Heights. He leaves a wife and twochildren.Eliphalet A. Read.The news of the death of Eliphalet A. Read,Ph.D., '96, at his old home in Nova Scotia, onSept. 19, was received at the University with universal expression of sorrow. Few graduates haveleft the University with a higher standing and awider acquaintance than Mr. Read. He was bornin Gaspereaux, Nova Scotia, in 1866. He took hisUNIVERSITY RECORD 281college course at Acadia College, Wolfville, N. S.,graduating with the degree of A.B. in 189 1. Hethen entered the Baptist Theological Seminary atMorgan Park. When the seminary became a partof the University of Chicago he received the Bur-chard scholarship and proved himself a student ofso high an order that he not only held the scholarship for two years, but afterwards held a fellowship in systematic theology for two years. In1896 he received the first Doctor's degree evergiven by the Divinity School. He passed a brilliant . examination and received the grade ofmagna cum laude. He at once entered upon asuccessful pastorate at Pontiac, 111., where he wasordained in September 1897. In 1898 he wascalled to the chair of philosophy in KalamazooCollege, Kalamazoo, Mich., which position heheld at the time of his death. As a studentamong students Mr. Read had a host of friends.He was interested in every phase of the University's life — social, athletic, and religious. As astudent in the class room he was acknowledgedto be one of the keenest in the University. DeanHulbert says of him*: " He was looked upon bythe faculty and his fellow-students as a man ofexceptionally fine scholarly traits. I was a member of the examining committee when he cameup for his doctor's degree, and he passed a brilliant examination."Dr. Northrup says of his former pupil : " Hisintellectual abilities were of a very high order.As a student he was thorough, conscientious, andenthusiastic, attaining a very high rank in scholarship. Among all the young men who havebeen under my instruction I have never knownone of a more winning and gracious personality."As a pastor he was remarkably successful ingaining the confidence of his people and advancing the interests of the church. As a teacherMr. Read probably reached his highest usefulness. President Slocum, of Kalamazoo College,writes of him as an instructor : " His work hereincluded history of philosophy, life of Christ, andsome other subjects, and he entered upon it with enthusiasm and delight. His broad scholarship,clearness of thought, firm grasp of the subjects inhand, excellent command of elegant and forcibleEnglish, together with a personal interest inevery student who entered his class room, madehim an ideal teacher. Few men have such powerto mold character and arouse to noblest effort ashe possessed." He had in a marked degree thatrare quality of deep sympathy for his students ;never losing sight of the fact that he had oncebeen a student. He became their friend as wellas instructor. He interested himself in theirsocial and athletic as well as religious and intellectual life.His success as an organizer was so manifest andwell known that he was offered the presidency ofboth Des Moines College, in Iowa, and ShurtleffCollege, at Upper Alton, 111. But he felt that hecould not leave the college to which he had become so attached, and, though urged to accept,he refused both positions.In his death the Alumni Association loses oneof its most promising members, the Universityone of her most brilliant graduates, and the causeof higher education one of its most successfulexponents.REPORTS OF ACTIONS OF UNIVERSITY RULING BODIESJUNE TO SEPTEMBER, 1900.1.

It is entitled," The Contest for Liberty of Conscience in England," being the thesis of Wallace St. John, whoreceived his degree of Doctor of Philosophy inApril 1900. It is a handsome octavo of 153pages, in paper covers. The thesis embodies anhistorical investigation of the subject in a vastliterature of pamphlets, as well as of larger andbetter-known works. The field covered stretchesfrom Sir Thomas More's "Utopia" to the "Essayon Liberty" of John Stuart Mill. An amplebibliography, arranged chronologically, concludesthe volume. We regret that the author has notadded an index, which in this case, where so greata variety of persons are dealt with, would be veryvaluable.A preprint from Vol. Ill of the " Studies inClassical Philology" is issued by the Press, underUNIVERSITY RECORD 285the title Papyri from Karanis, by Edgar J. Good-speed, assistant in biblical and patristic Greek inxthe University. In a beautifully printed pamphlet of sixty-six pages, Mr. Goodspeed has published a series of ninety-one receipts for grain,issued in Egypt in the reign of Antoninus. Thesereceipts came from the city of Karanis in theEgyptian Fayum. In connection with thesereceipts, Mr. Goodspeed has also republished,by permission of the Berlin Museum, similarreceipts in that museum, which have been published in its documents. The documents arepreceded by an Introduction and accompaniedwith notes. The pamphlet has as its frontispiecea well-executed heliotype reproduction of four ofthese papyri.President Harper has issued with the Press, ina pamphlet of forty-six pages, his recent addressupon the subject of the Prospects of the SmallCollege. His conclusions are as follows :I may sum up all that I have said in these sentences :I. The small college is certain of its existence in thefuture educational history of the United States.2. It must, however, pass through a serious struggle withmany antagonistic elements, and must adjust itself to othersimilar, and sometimes stronger agencies.3. In the process of this struggle and adjustment, somecolleges will grow stronger ; some will become academies ;some, junior colleges ; the high schools will be elevated toa still more important position than that which they nowoccupy; while, all together, high schools, colleges, and universities, will develop greater similarity of standard, andgreater variety of type ; and, at the same time, they willcome into closer and more helpful association, one withanother. The general result will be the growth of system in the higher educational work of the United States, wherenow no system exists.4. The future of the small college will be a great future ;a future greater than its past, because that future will bebetter equipped, better organized, and better adjusted.Associate Professor Alexander Smith's Laboratory Outline of General Chemistry has been reprintedby the University Press within the past few weeks.While the author frankly acknowledges that thereis little original material in it, the form in whichit is prepared is very attractive, and gives the impression of ample knowledge as well as pedagogical skill. Mr. Smith has been assisted byProfessor Garner, of Bradley Institute, Dr. H.N. McCoy, of the University, and Miss CarolPaddock, in the preparation of the book.The fourth edition of Professor E. D. Burton'sSyntax of the Moods and Tenses in New TestamentGreek, is one of the fall publications of the Press.The publishers state that the steadily increasingdemand for it has necessitated this edition muchsooner than was anticipated. It is therefore published without change from the plates of the thirdedition.Mr. R. C. H. Catterall, instructor in modernhistory in the University, has just published withthe Press a "Syllabus of a Course of Six Lecture-Studies upon the French Revolution," in theusual neat style of the University Extensionsyllabi. Assigned readings, bibliography, suggestive topics, and exercises, supplementing theoutlines of the lectures themselves, make this avaluable handbook in brief form for the study ofthis great chapter in the world's history.286 UNIVERSITY RECORDTHE CALENDAR.OCTOBER 26-N0V EMBER 3, 1900.Friday, October 26.Chapel- Assembly : The Divinity School.
