VOLUME IX NUMBER 9University RecordJANUARY, 1905THE FIFTY-THIRD UNIVERSITY CONVOCATIONINTRODUCTION OF THE CONVOCATION ORATORBY MARION TALBOTAssociate Professor of Household Administration andDean of WomenThe American university has varied functions. With it rests the duty of preserving theknowledge and experience of the past and ofinterpreting them to the present. It must notallow the history, language, and philosophy onwhich our own civilization is based to be sacrificed to knowledge secured from any new realm.It -must hold as one of its highest and noblestaims scientific research, the maintenance of abody of scholars who, in seclusion and freedom,shall push forward the bounds of knowledge,shall seek pure truth as an end in itself. Theseand the other activities, which might readily beindicated, result in an essentially aristocraticinstitution. It is aristocratic whether it is supported by public or by private funds. It isaristocratic even if its declared purpose is "tofit young persons for success in life," or "togive any person instruction in any subject."The essence of aristocracy in learning is thesame as in other human affairs. Its characteristic is exclusiveness. The intellectual achievement of the individual, a conception of life andlearning in which good is molded in the form ofisolated or segregated personal experience,learning and training as factors in successful individual life — these are the aims which makethe university aristocratic. The new demand which the time makes uponthe university is that it shall come "more closelyin touch with the life about it, be broader in itshuman sympathies, not merely be content withextending its good to all who will partake, butcall upon all men and all classes to contribute toits good for their own good. The aristocraticmethod and spirit, in so far as they have value,must be preserved, but they must be supplemented by democratization of learning in everyeducational institution which is to survive andwork for the upbuilding of the world.The new activities undertaken by our ownUniversity in the face of sharp criticism, the dissemination of knowledge through the University Press and University Extension, have beensteps in the direction of democracy in learning,in that they have secured greater popularizationof knowledge. The outlook is hopeful that theeducational world will see new and importantadvances toward the democratic ideal.It is our good fortune to come together tonight to listen to a prophet of democracy. JaneAddams is not without honor in her own country. The work she founded and directs atHull-House has brought renown to the city ofChicago. In that experience ^she has beenbrought in contact with those civic and industrial problems the right solution of which depends upon an understanding of the conditionsof immigration. We have reason to be grateful273274 UNIVERSITY RECORDto her for her wise and untiring efforts to dealwith these problems in a spirit of social righteousness and democratic scholarship.I do not need to introduce her to you. She isamong friends. It is rather my great privilege,Dr. Addams, to welcome you to this platform.In the name of the University I greet you, andassure you that we shall listen with interest andsympathy to your message on "Recent Immigration : A Field Neglected by the Scholar."RECENT IMMIGRATION: A FIELD NEGLECTED BY THESCHOLAR*BY JANE ADDAMSHead of Hull-House, ChicagoIt is, perhaps, well to rid myself at once ofsome of the implications of this rather overwhelming title by stating that it is not thepurpose of this short address to enter into adiscussion concerning the restriction or non-restriction of immigration, nor to attempt toanalyze those astounding figures annually published from Ellis Island ; neither do I wish tocharge the scholar writh having neglected to collect information as to the extent and growth ofimmigration in the United States, nor in failingto furnish statistical material as fully perhaps asthe shifting character of the subject permits.Such formal studies as we have on the annualcolonies of immigrants in American cities, andof the effect of immigration in districts similarto the anthracite coal regions, have been furnished by university men; indeed, almost theonly accurate study into the nationalities andlocations of the immigrants in Chicago has beenmade by a member of this University.But in confining the subject to a scrutiny ofthe oft-repeated statement that we as a nationare rapidly reaching the limit of our powers ofassimilation, that we receive further masses ofimmigrants at the risk of blurring those traits1 Delivered on the occasion of the Fifty-third Convocation of the University, held in the Leon MandelAssembly Hall, December 20, 1904. and characteristics which we are pleased to calliVmerican, with its corollary that the nationalstandard of living is in danger of permanentdebasement, a certain further demand maylegitimately be made upon the scholar. I hopeto be able to sustain the contention that suchdanger as exists arises from intellectual dearthand apathy; that we are testing our nationallife by a tradition too provincial and limited tomeet its present motley and cosmopolitan character; that we lack mental energy, adequateknowledge, and a sense of the youth of theearth. The constant cry that American institutions are in danger betrays a spiritual waste, 'not due to our infidelity to national ideals, butarising from the fact that we fail to enlargethose in accord with our faithful experience oflife; and that our political machinery, devisedfor quite other conditions, has not been readjusted and adapted to the successive changesresulting from our industrial development. Theclamor for the town meeting, for the colonialand early-century ideals of government is initself significant, for we know out of our personal experience that we quote the convictionsand achievements of the past as an excuse for ourinaction in moments when the current of liferuns low; that one of the dangers of life, oneof its vertible moral pits, consists in the temptation to remain constant to a truth when we nolonger wholly believe it, when its implicationsare not justified by our latest information. Ifthe immigration situation contain the elementsof an intellectual crisis, then to let the scholaroff with the mere collecting of knowledge, oryet with its transmission, or indeed to call hisaccount closed with that still higher function ofresearch, would be to throw away one of ourmost valuable assets.In a sense the enormous and unprecedentedmoving about over the face of the earth on thepart of all nations, is in itself the result ofphilosophic dogma, of the creed of individualliberty. The modern system of industry andUNIVERSITY RECORD 275commerce presupposes freedom of occupation,of travel, and residence; even more, it unhappily rests in a large measure upon the assumption of a body of the unemployed and theunskilled, ready to be absorbed or droppedaccording to the demands of production: butback of that, or certainly preceding its laterdevelopments, lies "the natural rights" doctrine of the eighteenth century. Even so late as1892 an official treaty of the United States referred to the "inalienable rights of man tochange his residence and religion." Thisdogma of the schoolmen, dramatized in Franceand penetrating under a thousand forms intothe most backward European states, is stilloperating as an obscure force in sending emigrants to America, and in our receiving themhere. But in the second century of its existenceit has become too barren and chilly to induce anyreally zealous or beneficent activity on behalf ofthe immigrants after they arrive, and thosethings which we do believe — such convictionsas we have, and which might be formulated tothe immeasurable benefit of the immigrants, andto the everlasting good of our national life — havenot yet been apprehended by the scholar inrelation to this field. They have furnished uswith no method by which to discover men, tospiritualize, to understand, to hold intercoursewith aliens and to receive of what they bring.A century-old abstraction breaks down beforethis vigorous test of concrete cases, the Italianlazzaroni, the peasants from the Carpathian foothills, and the proscribed traders from Galatia.We have no national ideality founded uponrealism and tested by our growing experience,but only the platitudes of our crudest youthwith which to meet the situation. The philosophers and statesmen of the eighteenth century believed that the universal franchise wouldcure all ills ; that fraternity and equality restedonly upon constitutional rights and privileges.The first political document of America openswith this philosophy and upon it the founders of a new state ventured their fortunes. Westill keep to this formalization because the philosophers of this generation give us nothingnewer, ignoring the fact that world-wide problems are no longer abstractly political, butpolitico-industrial. If we could frankly face theproposition that the whole situation is more industrial than political, then we should realizethat the officers of the government who aredealing with naturalization papers and testingthe knowledge of the immigrants concerningthe constitution of the United States, are onlyplaying with counters representing the beliefsof a century ago, while the real issues are beingsettled by the great industrial and commercialinterests which are at once the product and themasters of our contemporary life. As childrenwho are allowed to amuse themselves withpoker chips pay no' attention to the real gamewhich their elders play with the genuine cardsin their hands, so we shut our eyes to the exploitation and industrial debasement of theimmigrant, and say with placid contentmentthat he has been given the rights of an American citizen, and that, therefore, all our obligations have been fulfilled. It is as if we shouldundertake to cure our current political corruption which is founded upon a disregard of theinterstate commerce acts by requiring the recreant citizens to repeat the constitution of theUnited States.As yet no vigorous effort is made to discoverhow far our present system of naturalization,largely resting upon laws enacted in 1802, isinadequate, although it may have met the requirements of " the fathers." These processeswere devised to test new citizens who had immigrated to the United States from politicalrather than from economic pressure, althoughthese two have always been in a certain sensecoextensive. Yet the early Irish came toAmerica to seek an opportunity for self-government denied them at home, the Germans andItalians started to come in largest numbers after276 UNIVERSITY RECORDthe absorption of their smaller states into thelarger nations, and the immigrants from Russiaare the conquered Poles, Lithuanians, Finns,and Jews. On some such obscure notion theprocesses of naturalization were worked out,and with a certain degree of logic these firstimmigrants were presented with the constitution of the United States as a type and epitomeof that which they had come to seek. So far asthey now come in search of political liberty, asmany of them do every day, the test is stillvalid; but in the meantime we cannot ignorethose significant figures which show emigration to rise with periods of depression in givencountries, and immigration to be checked byperiods of depression in America, and we refuseto see how largely the question has become aneconomic one. At the present moment, as weknow, the actual importing of immigrants isleft largely to the energy of steamship companies and to those agents for contract laborwho are keen enough to avoid the restrictivelaws. The business man here is again in thesaddle as he is so largely in American affairs.From the time that they first make the acquaintance of the steamship agent in their own villages, at least until a grandchild is born on thenew soil, the immigrants are subjected to various processes of exploitation from purely commercial and self-seeking interests. It beginswith the representatives of the trans- Atlanticlines and their allies, who convert the peasantholdings into money, and provide the prospective emigrants with needless supplies. Thebrokers in manufactured passports send theirclients by successive stages for a thousand milesto a port suiting their purposes. On the waythe emigrants' eyes are treated that they maypass the physical test; they are taught to readsufficiently well to meet the literacy test; theyare lent enough money to escape the paupertest ; and by the time they have reached America,they are so hopelessly in debt that it takes themmonths to work out all they have received, dur ing which time they are completely under thecontrol of the last broker in the line, who has hisdingy office in an American city. The exploitation continues under the employment agencywhose operations verge into those of the politician, through the naturalization henchman, thepetty lawyers who foment their quarrels andgrievances by the statement that in a free country everybody " goes to law," by the liquor dealers who stimulate a lively trade among them,and finally by the lodging-house keepers and thelandlords who are not obliged to give them thehousing which the American tenant demands.It is a long dreary road and the immigrant issuccessfully exploited at each turn. At moments one looking on is driven to quote theTitanic plaint of Walt Whitman:"As I stand aloof and look there is to mesomething profoundly affecting in large massesof men following the lead of those who do notbelieve in men."The sinister aspect of this exploitation lies inthe fact that it is carried on by agents whosestock in trade are the counters and terms ofcitizenship. It is said that at the present moment there are more of these agents in Palermothan perhaps in any other European port, andthat those politicians .who have found it impossible to stay even in that corrupt city areengaged in the brokerage of naturalization papers in the United States, that certainly oneeffect of the stringent contract-labor laws hasbeen to make the padrones more powerful because "smuggled alien labor" has become morevaluable to American corporations, and also tomake simpler the delivery of immigrant votesaccording to the dictates of commercial interests. It becomes a veritable system of poisoning the notions of decent government becausethe entire process is carried on in political terms— our childish red, white, and blue poker chipsagain! More elaborate avoidance of restrictivelegislation quickly adapts itself to changes eitherin legislation here or at the points of departure ;UNIVERSITY RECORD 277for instance, a new type of broker in Russia atthe present moment is making use of the war inthe interests of young Russian Jews. If one ofthese men should leave the country ordinarily,his family would be obliged to pay three hundred rubles to the government, but if he firstjoins the army his family is free from this obligation, for he has passed into the keeping of hissergeant. Out of four hundred Russian Jewswho three months ago were drafted into thearmy at a given recruiting station, only tenreported, the rest having escaped throughemigration. Of course the entire undertakingis much more hazardous because the man is adeserter from the army in addition to his otherdisabilities ; but the brokers merely put up theprice of their services and continue their undertakings. Do we ignore the one million falsenaturalization papers in the United States issuedand concealed by commercial politics, in the interests of our uneasy knowledge that commercialand governmental powers are curiously allied, although we profess that the latter has no connection with the former and no control over it?The man who really knows immigrants andundertakes to naturalize them makes no pretence of the lack of connection between the two.The petty and often corrupt politician who isfirst kind to them realizes perfectly well that theforce pushing them here has been industrialneed and that its recognition is legitimate. Hefollows the natural course of events when hepromises to get the immigrant " a job," for thatis certainly what he most needs in all the world.If the politician nearest to him were really interested in the immigrant and should work outa scheme of naturalization fitted to the situation,he would go on from the street-cleaning andsewer-digging in which the immigrant first engages, to an understanding of the relation ofthese simple offices to city government, to theobligation of his alderman to secure cleanlinessfor the streets in which his children play and for the tenement in which he lives. The notion ofrepresentative government could be made quiteclear and concrete to him. He could demandhis rights and use his vote in order to securethem. His very naive demands might easilybecome a restraint, a purifying check upon thealderman, instead of a source of constant corruption and exploitation. But when the politician attempts to naturalize the bewildered immigrant, he must perforce accept the doctrinairestandard imposed by men who held a theorytotally unattached to experience, and he musttherefore begin with the remote constitutionof the United States. At the Cook Countycourthouse only a few weeks ago a candidatefor naturalization, who was asked the usualquestion as to what the constitution of theUnited States was, replied: "The IllinoisCentral." His mind naturally turned to hiswork, to the one bit of contribution he hadgenuinely made to the new country, and hisreply might well offer a valuable suggestion tothe student of educational method. The Schoolof Education of this University makes industrial construction and evolution a natural basisfor all future acquisition of knowledge andclaims that any thing less vital and creative isinadequate.It is surprising how a simple experience, ifit be but genuine, affords an opening intocitizenship altogether lacking to the moregrandiose attempts. A Greek-American whoslaughters sheep in a tenement-house yard onthe basis of the Homeric tradition, can be madeto see the effect of the improvised shambles onhis neighbors' health and the right of the city toprohibit him, only as he perceives the development of city government upon its most modernbasis.The enforcement of adequate child-labor lawsoffers unending opportunity for better citizenship, founded not upon theory but on action. AnItalian or Bohemian parent who has worked inthe fields from babyhood finds it difficult to un-278 UNIVERSITY RECORDderstand that the long and monotonous work infactories in which his child engages is muchmore exigent than the intermittent outdoorlabor required from him; that the need foreducation for his child is a matter of vital importance to his adopted city, which has enacteddefinite, well-considered legislation in regard toit. Some of the most enthusiastic supporters ofchild-labor legislation and compulsory-educationlaws are those parents who sacrifice old-worldtradition, as well as the much-needed earningsof their young children because of loyalty to thelaws of their adopted country. Certainly genuine sacrifice for the nation's law is a goodfoundation for patriotism, and as this again isnot a doctrinaire question, women are not debarred, and mothers who wash and scrub forthe meager support of their children say sturdilysometimes, " It will be a year before he can goto work without breaking the law, but we cameto this country to give the young ones a chanceand we are not going to begin by having themdo what's not right."Upon some such basis as this the HebrewAlliance and the Charity Organization Societyof New York which are putting forth desperateenergy in the enormous task of ministering tothe suffering which immigration entails, aredeveloping understanding and respect for thealien through their mutual efforts to securemore adequate tenement-house regulation, andto control the spread of tuberculosis, both ofthese undertakings being perfectly hopelesswithout the intelligent co-operation of theimmigrants themselves. Through such humbledoors as these perchance the immigrant mayenter into his heritage in a new nation. Democratic government has always been the resultof spiritual travail and moral effort ; apparentlyeven here the immigrant must pay the cost.As we fail to begin with his experience in theinduction of the adult immigrant into practicalcitizenship, so we assume in our formal attemptsto teach patriotism, that experience and tradi tions have no value, and that a new sentimentmust be put into aliens by some external process. Some years ago a public-spirited organization engaged a number of speakers to go tothe various city schools in order to instruct thechildren in the significance of Decoration Dayand to foster patriotism among the foreign-born, by descriptions of the Civil War. In oneof the schools filled with Italian children, an oldsoldier, a veteran in years and experience, gavea description of a battle in Tennessee, and hispersonal adventures in using a pile of brush asan ambuscade and a fortification. Coming fromthe schoolhouse an eager young Italian brokeout with characteristic vividness into a description of his father's campaigning under theleadership of Garibaldi, possibly from some obscure notion that that too was a civil war foughtfrom principle, but more likely because the description of one battle had roused in his mindthe memory of another such description. Thelecturer, whose sympathies happened to be onthe other side of the Garibaldian conflict, somewhat sharply told him that he must forget allthat, that he was no longer an Italian, but anAmerican. The natural growth of patriotismupon respect for the achievements of one'sfathers, the bringing together of the past withthe present, the pointing out of the almostworld-wide effort at a higher standard of political freedom which swept over all Europe andAmerica between 1848 and 1872 could, ofcourse, have no place in the boy's mind, becauseit had none in the mind of the instructor, whosepatriotism apparently tried to purify itself bythe American process of elimination.How far a certain cosmopolitan humanitarian-ism ignoring national differences is either possible or desirable, it is difficult to state; butcertain it is that the old type of patriotismfounded upon a common national history andland occupation becomes to many of the immigrants who bring it with them, a veritablestumbling block and impedimenta. ManyUNIVERSITY RECORD 279Greeks whom I know are fairly besotted with aconsciousness of their national importance, andthe achievements of their glorious past. Amongthem the usual effort to found a new patriotismupon American history is often an absurd undertaking; for instance, on the night of lastThanksgiving, I spent some time and zeal in adescription of the Pilgrim Fathers, the motiveswhich had driven them across the sea, while theexperiences of the Plymouth colony were illustrated by stereopticon slides and little dramaticscenes. The audience of Greeks listened respectfully, although I was uneasily conscious of thesomewhat feeble attempt to boast of Anglo-Saxon achievement in hardihood and privationto men whose powers of admiration were absorbed in their Greek background of philosophyand beauty. At any rate, after the lecture wasover, one of the Greeks said to me quite simply :"I wish I could describe my ancestors to you;they were different from yours." His further remarks were translated by a little Irish boy ofeleven who speaks modern Greek with facilityand turns many an honest penny by translating,into the somewhat pert statement : " He says ifthat is what your ancestors are like, that hiscould beat them out." It is a good illustrationof our faculty for ignoring the past, and of ourfailure to understand the immigrant estimationof ourselves. This lack of a more cosmopolitanstandard, of a consciousness of kind foundedupon creative imagination and historic knowledge, is evident in many directions, and cruellywidens the gulf between immigrant fathers andchildren who are "Americans in process."A hideous story comes from New York of ayoung Russian Jewess who was employed as astenographer in a down-town office, where shebecame engaged to be married to a young manof Jewish- American parentage. She felt keenlythe difference between him and her newly immigrated parents, and on the night when he was tobe presented to them, she went home early tomake every possible preparation for his coming. Her efforts to make the menage presentable wereso discouraging, the whole situation filled herwith such chagrin, that an hour before his expected arrival she ended her own life. Althoughthe father was a Talmud scholar of standing inhis native Russian town, and the lover was aclerk of very superficial attainment, she possessed no standard by which to judge the twomen. This lack of standard can be charged tothe entire comunity, for why should we expect an untrained girl to be able to do for herself what the community so pitifully fails, toaccomplish ?As scholarship in the first half of the nineteenth century saved literature from a futileromanticism and transformed its entire methodby the perception that "the human is not ofnecessity the cultivated, the human is the widespread, the ancient in speech or in behavior, itis the deep, the emotional, the thing much lovedby many men, the poetical, the organic, thevital, in civilization," so I would ask the scholarship of this dawning century to save its contemporaries from materialism by revealing to usthe inherent charm and resource of the humblestmen. Equipped as it is with the training andthe " unspecialized cell " of evolutionary sciencethis ought not to prove an impossible task.The scholar has already pointed out to us thesweetness and charm which inhere in primitivedomestic customs and show us the curious pivotthey make for religious and tribal beliefs, untilthe simple action of women grinding millet orcorn becomes almost overladen with penetratingreminiscence, sweeter than the chant they sing.Something of the same quality may be foundamong many of the immigrants; when onestumbles upon an old Italian peasant with herdistaff against her withered face and her pathetic old hands patiently holding the thread, ashas been done by myriads of women since children needed to be clad ; or an old German potter,misshapen by years, but his sensitive handsfairly alive with skill and delicacy, and his life280 UNIVERSITY RECORDat least illumined with the artist's prerogativeof direct creation, one wishes that the scholarmight be induced to go man hunting into thesecurious human groups called newly arrivedimmigrants! Could we take these primitivehabits as they are to be found in Americancities every day, and give them their significanceand place, they would be a wonderful factor forpoesy in cities frankly given over to industrialism, and candidly refusing to read poetry whichhas no connection with its aims and activities.As a McAndrews' hymn may express the frantic rush of the industrial river, so these couldgive us something of the mysticism and charmof the industrial springs, a suggestion of source,a touch of the refinement which adheres tosimple things. This study of origins, of survivals, of paths of least resistance refining anindustrial age through the people and experiences which really belong to it and do not needto be brought in from the outside, surely affordsan opening for scholarship.The present lack of understanding, the dearthof the illumination which knowledge gives canbe traced not only in the social and political maladjustment of the immigrant, but is felt inso-called "practical affairs" of national magnitude. Regret is many times expressed that notwithstanding the fact that nine out of every tenimmigrants are of rural birth, that they all tendto congregate in cities where their inherited andelaborate knowledge of agricultural processes isunutilized, although they are fitted to undertakethe painstaking method which American farmers despise. But it is characteristic of American complacency that when any assisted removalto agricultural regions is contemplated, that weutterly ignore their past experiences and alwaysassume that each family will be content to livein the middle of its own piece of ground, although there are few peoples on the face of theearth who have ever tried isolating a family on160 acres or on 80, or even on 40; but this isthe American way, a survival of our pioneer days, and we refuse to modify it, notwithstanding the fact that the South Italians from theday of mediaeval incursions have lived in compact villages with an intense and elaborate sociallife, so much of it out of doors and interdependent that it has affected almost everydomestic habit. Italian women knead theirown bread, but depend on the village oven forits baking, and the men would rather walk formiles to their fields each day than to face anevening of companionship limited to the family.Nothing could afford a better check to theconstant removal to the cities of the farming population all over the United States,than to be able to combine community life withagricultural occupation, affording that development of civilization which curiously enoughdensity alone brings and for which even a freesystem of rural delivery is not an adequate substitute. Much of the significance and charm ofrural life in South Italy lies in its village companionship, quite as the dreariness of the American farm life inheres in its unnecessary solitude. But we totally disregard the solutionwhich the old agricultural community offers,and our utter lack of adaptability has somethingto do with the fact that the South Italian remainsin the city where he soon forgets his cunning inregard to silk worms and olive trees, but continues his old social habits to the extent of filling an entire tenement-house with the peoplefrom one village.We also exhibit all the Anglo-Saxon distrustof any experiment with land tenure or method oftaxation, although the single-tax advocates inour midst do not fail to tell us daily of thestupidity of the present arrangement, and itmight be well to make a few experiments upon ahistoric basis before their enthusiasm convertsus all. The Slavic village, the mir system ofland occupation, has been in successful operationfor centuries in Russia, training men within itsnarrow limits to community administration ; andyet when a persecuted sect from Russia wishesUNIVERSITY RECORD 281to find refuge in America — and naturally 7,000people cannot give up all at once, even if it weredesirable, a system of land ownership in whichthey are expert and which is singularly like thatin vogue in Palestine during its period of highestprosperity — we cannot receive them in theUnited States because our laws have no way ofdealing with such a case. And in Canada, wherethey are finally settled, the unimaginative dominion officials are driven to the verge of distraction concerning registration of deeds and thecollection of taxes from men who do not claimacres in their own names, but in the name of thevillage. The official distraction is reflected andintensified among the people themselves to thepoint of driving them into the mediaeval" marching mania," in the hope of finding a landin the south where they may carry out their inoffensive mir system. The entire situationmight prove that an unbending theory of individualism may become as fixed as status itself.There are certainly other factors in the Douk-hobor situation of religious bigotry and of theself-seeking of leadership, but in spite of the factthat the Canadian officials have in other mattersexhibited much of the adaptability which distinguishes the British colonial policy, they arecompletely stranded on the rock of Anglo-Saxonindividualistic ownership, and assume that anyother system of land tenure is subversive of government, although Russia manages to exert afair amount of governmental control over thousands of acres held under the system which theydetest.In our eagerness to reproach the immigrantfor not going upon the land, we almost overlookthe contributions to city life which those of themwho were adapted to it in Europe are making toour cities here. From dingy little eating-housesin lower New York, performing a functionsomewhat between the eighteenth-century coffeehouse and the Parisian cafe, is issuing at thepresent moment perhaps the sturdiest realisticdrama that is being produced on American soil. Late into the night speculation is carried forward, not on the nice questions of the Talmudand quibbles of logic, but minds long trained onthese seriously discuss the need of a readjustment of the industrial machine that the primitivesense of justice and righteousness may securelarger play in our social organization. And yeta Russian in Chicago who used to believe thatAmericans cared first and foremost for politicalliberty, and would certainly admire those who hadsuffered in its cause, finds no one interested inhis story of six years' banishment beyond theAntarctic circle, and is really listened to onlywhen he tells to a sportsman the tale of the fishhe caught during the six weeks of summer whenthe rivers were open. "Lively work then, butplenty of time to eat them dried and frozenthrough the rest of the year," is the most sympathetic comment he has yet received upon anexperience which at least to him held the bittersweet of martyrdom.Among the colonies of the most recently immigrated Jews who still carry out their orthodoxcustoms and a ritual preserved through centuriesin the Ghetto, one constantly feels, during a season of religious observance, a refreshing insistence upon the reality of the inner life, and thedignity of its expression in inherited form.Perhaps the most striking reproach to the materialism of Chicago is the sight of a ChicagoRiver bridge lined with men and women on oneday in the year, oblivious of the noisy traffic andsordid surroundings, casting their sins upon thewaters that they may be carried far from them.That obsession which Chicago sometimes makesupon one's mind, so that one is almost driven togo out upon the street fairly shouting that, afterall, life does not consist in wealth, in learning, inenterprise, in energy, in success, not even in thatmodern fetich, culture, but in an inner equilibrium, " the agreement of soul," is here for onceplainly stated, and is a relief even in its exaggeration and grotesqueness.The charge that recent immigration threatens282 UNIVERSITY RECORDto debase the American standard of living is certainly a grave one, but I would invite the scholareven into that sterner region which we are accustomed to regard as purely industrial. At firstglance nothing seems farther from an intellectualproposition than this question of tin cups andplates stored in a bunk, versus a white cloth anda cottage table; and yet, curiously enough, anEnglish writer has recently cited " standards oflife " as an illustration of the fact that it is ideaswhich mold the lives of men, and states thataround the deeply significant idea of the standard of life center our industrial problems oftoday, and that this idea forms the base of allthe forward movements of the working class.The significance of the standard of life lies, notso much in the fact that for each of us it isdifferent, but that for all of us it is progressive,constantly invading new realms. To imaginethat all goes well if sewing-machines and cottageorgans reach the first generation of immigrants,fashionable dressmakers and pianos the second,is of course the most untutored interpretationof it. And yet it is a question of food and shelter, and further of the maintenance of industrialefficiency and of life itself to thousands of men ;and this gigantic task of standardizing successive nations of immigrants falls upon workmenwho lose all if they fail.Curiously enough, however, as soon as theimmigrant situation is frankly regarded as anindustrial one, the really political nature of theessentially industrial situation is revealed in thefact that trade organizations which openly concern themselves with the immigration problemon its industrial side quickly take on the paraphernalia and machinery which have hitherto associated themselves with governmental life andcontrol. The trades unions have worked out allover again local autonomy with central councilsand national representative bodies and the use ofthe referendum vote. They also exhibit manyfeatures of political corruption and manipulation, but they still contain the purifying power of reality, for the trades unions are engaged in adesperate struggle to maintain a standard wageagainst the constant arrival of unskilled immigrants at the rate of three-quarters of a milliona year, at the very period when the elaborationof machinery permits the largest use of unskilledmen. The first real lesson in self-government tomany immigrants has come through the organization of labor unions, and it could come in noother way, for the union alone has appealed totheir necessities. And out of these primal necessities one sees the first indication of an idealismof which one at moments dares to hope that itmay be sturdy enough and sufficiently foundedupon experience to make some impression uponthe tremendous immigration situation.To illustrate from the Stock Yards strike oflast summer, may I quote from a study madefrom the University of Wisconsin :Perhaps the fact of greatest social significance is thatthe strike of 1904 was not merely a strike of skilled laborfor the unskilled, but was a strike of Americanized Irish,Germans, and Bohemians, in behalf of Slovaks, Poles, andLithuanians This substitution of races in the StockYards has been a continuing process for twenty years.The older nationalities have already disappeared from theunskilled occupations, and the substitution has evidentlyrun along the line of lower standard of living. The latestarrivals, the Lithuanians and Slovaks, are probably themost oppressed of the peasants of Europe.Those who attended the crowded meetings oflast summer and heard the same address successively translated by interpreters into six oreight languages, who saw the respect shown tothe most uncouth of the speakers by the skilledAmerican men who represented a distinctly superior standard of life and thought, could neverdoubt the power of the labor organization foramalgamation, whatever opinion they mighthold concerning their other values. This may besaid in spite of the fact that great industrial disturbances have arisen from the undercutting ofwages by the lowering of racial standard. Certainly the most notable of these have taken placein those industries and at those places in whichUNIVERSITY RECORD 283the importation of immigrants has been deliberately fostered as a wage-lowering weapon, andeven in those disturbances, and under the shockand strain of a long strike, disintegration didnot come along the line of race cleavage.It may further be contended that this remarkable coming together has been the result ofeconomic pressure, and is without merit or idealism; that the trades-union record on Chineseexclusion and negro discrimination has beendamaging ; and yet I would quote from a studyof the anthracite coal fields made from the University of Pennsylvania :The United Mine Workers of America is taking menof a score of nationalities — English-speaking and Slav-men of widely different creeds, languages, and customs,and of varying powers of industrial competition, and iswelding them into an industrial brotherhood, each partof which can at least understand of the others that theyare working for one great and common end. This bond ofunionism is stronger than one can readily imagine whohas not seen its mysterious workings or who has notbeen a victim of its members' newly found enthusiasm.It is today the strongest tie that can bind together147,000 mine workers and the thousands dependent uponthem. It is more than religion, more than the social tieswhich hold together members of the same community.This is from a careful study by Mr. Warne,which doubtless many of you know, called " TheSlav Invasion."It was during a remarkable struggle on thepart of this amalgamation of men from all countries that the United States government, in spiteof itself, was driven to take a hand in an industrial situation, owing to the long strain and theintolerable suffering entailed upon the wholecountry; but even then public opinion was tooaroused, too moralized, to be patient with aninvestigation of the mere commercial questionsof tonnage and freight rates with their politicalimplications, and insisted that the national commission should consider the human aspects ofthe case. Columns of newspapers and days ofinvestigation were given to the discussion of thedeeds of violence, having nothing to do with theoriginal demands of the strikers, and entering only into the value set upon human life by eachof the contesting parties. Did the union encourage violence against non-union men, or did itreally do everything to suppress it, living up toits creed which was to maintain a standard ofliving that families might be properly housedand fed and protected from debilitating toil anddisease, that children might be nurtured intoAmerican citizenship? Did the operators protect their men as far as possible from mine damp,from length of hours proven by experience to beexhausting? Did they pay a sufficient wage tothe mine laborer to allow him to send his children to school? Questions such as these, astudy of the human problem, invaded the commission day after day during its sitting. Onefelt for the moment the first wave of a rising tideof humanitarianism, until the normal ideals ofthe laborer to secure food and shelter for hisfamily, a security for his old age, and a largeropportunity for his children, became the idealsof democratic government.It may be owing to the fact that the working-man is brought in direct contact with the situation as a desperate problem of living wage orstarvation ; it may be that wisdom is at her oldtrick of residing in the hearts of the simple, orthat this new idealism, which is that of a reasonable life and labor, must from the very nature ofthings proceed from those who labor ; or possiblybecause amelioration arises whence it is so sorelyneeded; but certainly it is true that, while therest of the country talks of assimilation as if wewere a huge digestive apparatus, the man withwhom the immigrant has come most sharplyinto competition has been forced into fraternalrelations with him.All the peoples of the world have become partof our tribunal, and their sense of pity, theirclamor for personal kindness, their insistenceupon the right to join in our progress, cannot bedisregarded. The burdens and sorrows of menhave unexpectedly become intelligent and urgent284 UNIVERSITY RECORDto this nation, and it is only by accepting themwith some magnanimity that we can develop thelarger sense of justice which is becoming worldwide and is lying in ambush, as it were, to manifest itself in governmental relations. Men of allnations are determining upon the abolition ofdegrading poverty, disease, and intellectualweakness, with their resulting industrial inefficiency. This manifests itself in labor legislationin England, in the Imperial Sick and Old- AgeInsurance Acts of Germany, in the enormoussystem of public education in the United States.To be afraid of it is to lose what we have. Agovernment has always received feeble supportfrom its constituents as soon as its demands appeared childish or remote. Citizens inevitably neglect or abandon civic duty when it no longerembodies their genuine desires. It is useless tohypnotize ourselves by unreal talk of colonialideals and patriotic duty toward immigrants asif it were a question of passing a set of resolutions. The nation must be saved by its lovers,by the patriots who possess adequate and contemporaneous knowledge. A commingling ofracial habits and national characteristics in theend must rest upon the voluntary balance andconcord of many forces.We may with justice demand from the scholarthe philosophic statement, the reconstruction andreorganization of the knowledge which he possesses, only if we agree to make it over intohealthy and direct expressions of free living.UNIVERSITY RECORD 285THE PRESIDENT'S QUARTERLY STATEMENMembers of the University and Friends:We have come together as on former occasions, to look each other in the face, in thisAutumn Convocation, to listen to words fromthe mouth of a most distinguished speaker, andto confer honors upon those who have completedcertain periods of scholastic work. To these, ourfriends, on whom certificates and degrees areconferred, we do not say farewell, because webelieve that the man or woman who has oncebecome a member of the University is and alwayswill be a member. University membership issomething like the membership of a family —it may not be broken. The ties may be more orless distinctly felt ; the separation may be one oflong distance and of great stretch of time, butthe relationship still exists. Wherever these, ourfriends, go ; whatever they may do, neither theynor we shall ever be able to forget that they belong to our number; that they sing our AlmaMater; that they acknowledge the imprimaturof our University; that their license has beenissued by this institution.DISTINGUISHED VISITORSDuring this Quarter the University has beenrepeatedly honored by visits from famous men.It is a source of great satisfaction to us that menand women, not only of our own country butfrom abroad, desire to visit the University ofChicago. During the summer and early autumnwe were often called upon to receive eminentvisitors who were also visitors at the St. Louisexposition. Within a few weeks the studentsand Faculties of the University have had thepleasure of seeing and hearing that eminent manof letters, the most representative man of theEnglish empire — John Morley. Royal visitorscome to us, as when last year His Imperial1 Presented on the occasion of the Fifty-third Convocation of the University, held in the Leon MandelAssembly Hall, December 20, 1904. ON THE CONDITION OF THE UNIVERSITY1Highness Prince Pu Lun, of China, and justrecently His Imperial Highness Prince Fushimi,of Japan, visited us and spoke to the studentsand officers. We are again honored this evening by the presence of one of Europe's mostdistinguished historians, Professor Ettore Pais,of the University of Naples.If it is true that foreign travel is a definite andimportant element in education, it is also truethat contact with great and distinguished menof foreign nations is also a factor in one's education. One might visit England many times andfail to meet its most representative citizen. Onemight go to China and Japan and not have theprivilege of meeting members of the imperialfamilies. One might also go to Italy and fail tocome into close contact with so eminent a representative of historical science as he who sitsupon our platform this evening. I sometimesthink that in this institution we are peculiarlyfavored in the privilege of receiving at our owndoors and within our own walls so many illustrious representatives of foreign countries. Iam sure that we fully appreciate this privilegeand the benefits which it confers.ILLNESS AND DEATHThis Quarterly occasion is, for the most part,one of gladness, because we may rejoice at leastin that measure of success which has attendedour efforts, and in the degree of fulfilmentwhich has attended the plans projected and thetasks undertaken. But it is also a time of recollection; and we recall that in these weeks wehave passed through a great trouble — onewhich has touched very closely the thought andlife of many of us. It was so sudden and soinscrutable that for a while we were dazed. Atrue and strong and beautiful life was completed.We could not understand the meaning of thisevent; we could only acquiesce.One whose name is frequently spoken on the286 UNIVERSITY RECORDUniversity grounds and who has been very closeto the University during all its history has departed this life since our last Convocation. Mrs.Hiram G. Kelly was one of the citizens of Chicago who came forward to assist us in the effortmade in 1892 to raise one million dollars inninety days, and of this sum she contributed$50,000. On three occasions since that timeshe has added other gifts. Kelly Hall bears hername; Green Hall, that of her father andmother. Her life was closely interwoven withthat of the University. She loved the University and gave tangible indication of her feeling.On more than one occasion she has given moneyto be used in assisting some deserving student.Her heart prompted her to do substantial thingsfor her fellow-men, and it is certain that inreturn her good work has been appreciated.THE RELIGIOUS LIFEThe preachers for this Quarter have beenespecially acceptable. The list is an eminentone, containing among others the names ofLyman Abbott, Henry Lubeck, Charles CuthbertHall, Orrin P. Gifford. The results of theirwork have been seen not only in the increasingattendance at the Sunday-morning service, butalso in the greater individual interest aroused inthe religious life. We may likewise note thespecial effort made during the Quarter towardorganizing the forces of the University formore definite service in connection with theChristian Union. In no preceding Quarter hasthe interest in religious work and in religiouslife been more plainly manifest. There are thosewho think that the year upon which we haveentered gives promise of even greater advancement along these lines. In the list of preachersfor the Winter Quarter there will be found thenames of Orrin P. Gifford, of Buffalo ; NewellDwight Hillis, of Brooklyn ; Armstrong Black,of Toronto ; George Hodges, of Cambridge ; andW. H. P. Faunce, of Providence. But we maynot place the responsibility wholly upon these preachers, able and eloquent as they are. Let usremember that as members of the Faculties andas members of the student body we owe it toourselves and to the University, and also to thecause of righteous and upright living, to giveourselves with a new devotion to the development of that phase of our lives which is abovethe merely physical and intellectual. The manof a fully rounded development will count formost in the end.MEDICAL WORK-We congratulate ourselves that the ideal setup five years ago by the Faculty of Rush Medical College has now been reached in the medicalwork conducted conjointly by the Faculties ofthe University and of Rush Medical College.After long debate it was decided in January,1898, that in order to secure affiliation withthe University of Chicago, the requirements ofadmission to Rush Medical College should beadvanced gradually, to the end that within fouror five years all persons admitted to the first-year medical work of the college should havefinished a course of at least two full years ofthe regular college curriculum. This important step was taken with grave apprehensionon the part of some of the friends of RushMedical College. It was evident that a greatrisk was incurred in adopting a policy whichwas not supported by any institution withina thousand miles. Rush Medical College,including its first two years as conducted in theUniversity of Chicago, now stands as one offour institutions in the United States which require more than a high-school training for admission. The period of probation has passed.The present Quarter has seen the full requirement in effect for the first time. It is interesting to compare the number of first- and second-year men in medical work during recent years.In 1896-7 it was 351. At this time the coursewas increased to four years. In 1897-8 it was351; in 1898-9, 398; in 1899-1900, 422. AtUNIVERSITY RECORD 287this point the advancement in requirementsbegan to be demanded. In 1900-01 the attendance was 353; in 1901-2, 307; 1902-3, 262;1903-4, 259. In 1904-5 there will be 250.It is to be noted, moreover, that with eachincrease in the requirements for admission tothe first year, a similar increase of requirementshas been applied to those entering from otherinstitutions to take advanced standing. It isinteresting to note the numbers of the third-and fourth-year students during ten years, asthey have been affected by this new requirement. In 1896-7 there were 289; in 1897-8,230; in 1898-9, 391; in 1899-1900, 466; in1900-01, 483; in 1901-2, 462; in 1902-3, 428;in 1903-4, — notice the marked diminution —313. In 1904-5 there will be 266.Too much cannot be said of the courage withwhich the Faculty of Rush Medical College hascarried through this very remarkable readjustment of its work. It is not easy to refuse admission to students who two or three years beforewould have been gladly welcomed, especiallywhen those students are the sons of the alumniof the college. Each autumn of four succeedingyears 150 to 200 students have been denied admission to the college for lack of this advancedpreparation. The smaller classes resulting fromthis policy furnish many compensations to thestudent as well as to the instructor. Amongthese are (1) the more mature character of thestudents, (2) their better preparation for work,(3) the possibility of organizing the work of thecollege in smaller sections, and (4) the greateropportunity to the students who have the abilityto do work of investigation. When it is recalledthat a difference of two hundred students meansa difference of $30,000 in the annual income ofthe college, and when this fact is put side byside with the other fact that the classes havebeen divided into many sections and that workof a high order has been conducted at a greatercost, the difficulties of those charged with thefinancial administration of the work will be appreciated. This step, no doubt, marks a newera in medical education in the MississippiValley, and the policy must be regarded withsatisfaction by every man who has a true interest in medical education.UNIVERSITY EXTENSION WORKReference was made in the last statement tothe fact that the University has no special endowment for the University Extension lectures,and that in view of the gradual increase forseveral years of the annual deficit some modifications of the plan of work were necessary to meetthe emergency. Everyone will concede thateach department of the University must makeends meet. No one doubts that in the nearfuture provision will be made in the way ofendowment for the work of the University Extension Division, but until that provision ismade, it is absolutely necessary that the workshould be done inside of the appropriationsmade for it. To this end the following suggestions have been made :1. That the regular fee for a course of sixlectures be changed from $125 to $135. Thisslight addition will distribute very widely thedeficit which has thus far fallen upon the University itself.2. That in the case of Lecture Studies whichrequire the use of the stereopticon, an additionalfee of $15 be charged.3. That arrangements be made wherebycourses of three lectures shall be provided bythe University, and also single lectures by members of its staff when these are called for.4. That the scope of the Lecture-Study workbe broadened to include arrangements withTeachers' Institutes, Chautauquas, and clubsdesiring lectures of a distinctly university character.5. That a readjustment be made by which thework of officers giving the greater amount oftheir instruction in connection with the University Extension Lecture Studies be more definitely determined, such a standard being fixed288 UNIVERSITY RECORDin this work as has already been established inthe University proper.To what extent these suggestions shall beadopted remains to be seen. Others doubtlessdeserving consideration will be put forward.The friends of the University Extension movement throughout the West and South are veryearnestly invited to co-operate with the University in the readjustment of its work in thisparticular division.THE BUREAU OF SELF-HELPThe University has always made special efforts to assist students in residence who desire toearn money with which to defray their expenses.The time seems to have come when such effortsshould be acknowledged and systematized.Hundreds of men and women would come tothe city of Chicago and avail themselves of theopportunities it affords in educational work itthey could be assured of a portion of the moneyrequired to meet their personal college expenses.These students do not ask money to be giventhem ; and they are unwilling to borrow. Theyask only the opportunity to earn the money.Experience has shown quite clearly that manykinds of work lend themselves to this particularservice. With its present facilities the University is able to secure work for studentsto the amount of eight to ten thousand dollarsa year. But this is an insignificant sum compared with what might be secured if a morevigorous effort were made. It is also insignificant in comparison with the sum actually calledfor by those who wish the privilege of earningtheir livelihood while attending college.In view of these facts, the Trustees have authorized the organization of a new Board. ThisBoard will be made up of officers of the University who are distinctly philanthropic in theirtemperament. The same motive which wouldlead an officer of the University to render assistance to the University of Chicago Settlementwould lead him to help secure for worthy stu dents work enabling them to pay at least aportion of their expenses. The function of thisBoard will be distinct from that of the Board ofRecommendations, the latter limiting itself hereafter to the more definite task of recommendinggraduating students for positions as teachers.Nor will the activities of the new Board belimited to the securing of positions for those inresidence. It will also aim to bring studentsgraduating from the University into direct connection with business men in the city of Chicagoand elsewhere.The important question is that of expense inthe administration of the work of the Board.No appropriation for this has been made becauseof lack of funds. But this difficulty, it is hoped,will soon be overcome, and the new work properly initiated. Suggestions are cordially invitedfrom members of the University staff as well asfrom friends of the University in the city.THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE OF THE THEOLOGICALUNIONAt the first meeting of the Advisory Committee of the Theological Union held in June last,fourteen Standing Committees were appointedto take under advisement as many branches ofthe administrative and scholastic work in whichthe Divinity School is engaged. At the secondmeeting of the Advisory Committee, held December 12 and 13, some of these Committeeswere prepared to report in part. It was found,however, that many of the chairmen of committees had not an entirely clear conception of theduties devolving upon them. At this meeting,therefore, a large number of questions was submitted to the General Committee and to thevarious Standing Committees for considerationand report. The questions cover most of theimportant matters which concern the DivinitySchool. It is understood that the investigationswill require a considerable period of time, thatno report on any question will be submitted untilit has been thoroughly canvassed, and that theUNIVERSITY RECORD 289report when submitted shall be of a scientificcharacter. The equipment, courses of study,methods of instruction, and general conduct ofother theological seminaries will be studied forpurposes of comparison. The ultimate findingsof these committees, it is believed, will be ofgreat advantage, not to our own School alone,but to all theological schools and to the causeof theological education in general.Perhaps the most important announcementmade by the University to the Advisory Committee was that of the appointment of ProfessorShailer Mathews, of the Department of NewTestament Literature and Interpretation, to aprofessorship in the Department of SystematicTheology.At this last meeting of the Advisory Committee there was a large representation ofprominent ministers and laymen. Its membersentered heartily into the discussion of important topics vitally related to the welfare of theSchool, and reached a remarkable unanimity inits decisions. The Committee recognized thenecessity and value of the principle of academicfreedom for which the University has alwaysstood, and insisted that the same freedom ofinvestigation and of expression, both in theclassroom and in print, shall be enjoyed in theDivinity School as in the University. Thisfreedom has always been the unquestioned privilege and right of Divinity instructors in the past,and by express declaration is to continue to bein the future.THE FUTURE OF THE UNDERGRADUATE COLLEGESAt an early day we have before us the taskalready suggested, and indeed already undertaken, of finding a way in which we may soprovide for life and for intellectual work thatthe greatest good shall come to the greatestnumber. It has been conceded not only herebut elsewhere that the building up of undergraduate work in which hundreds or eventhousands are gathered together under large faculties, is attended with serious disadvantages to all concerned. The decision has beenreached, and is one to which, so far as I know,every member of the University gives his cordial consent, that it is our privilege and ouropportunity to organize, or reorganize, ourefforts in such a way as to avoid the evils ofgreat numbers, and to secure the advantageswhich attend the grouping together of men andwomen in smaller numbers.The Junior College Faculty has already approved with unanimity a plan which providesfor a system of Houses, each affording a common social life to a small number of students. It remains to devise means by which, ifpossible, a certain group of students may bebrought into relatively permanent and continuous relations with a designated committee orfaculty of instructors. With the rapid increaseof numbers in our great universities, several ofthe valuable features of the old college lifeunquestionably tend to disappear. Personalrelationships among the students themselves areeither too much narrowed on the one hand orbecome vague and conventional on the other;many students are even isolated from their fellows ; the contact between instructors and students is likely to be merely professional, if notwholly formal; the college teacher loses thesense of personal responsibility for the welfareof his students ; and in a large faculty he missesalso the stimulus which comes from conferenceand co-operation with a smaller number of hiscolleagues.The situation imperatively demands readjustment. It challenges the attention and mustarouse the persistent interest of the Faculties,especially of those concerned with undergraduates. These bodies, it is believed, will be ableto work out a plan by which the obvious superiorities of the great university may be combinedwith the recognized advantages of the smallcollege, and this, too, without unduly limitingthe freedom of the student or overtaxing thebudget of the University.290 UNIVERSITY RECORDTHE WORK OF THE JUNIOR COLLEGE COMMISSIONDuring the past few years, it has becamemore and more evident to the members of theteaching staff that the University's present system of requirements for admission and graduation is no longer sufficiently flexible to meetfairly the cases of all the varied classes of students who desire to study here. This conditionhas arisen mainly from two causes: first, theenlargement of the curricula and the extensionof the elective system in the secondary schools ;and, second, the expansion of the work of theUniversity in professional departments, as, forexample, those of medicine and law.Realizing that the new situation would callfor a revision and modification of the presentsystem of requirements, the Junior CollegeFaculty, about two years ago, appointed a commission consisting of fourteen of its members tostudy the problems involved and submit recommendations as to how the necessary changesmight best be made. This commission, after anexhaustive study of the present conditions andeducational tendencies of the schools of thiscountry, has just presented its final report tothe Faculties for consideration. The discussionof this report will be taken up during the comingWinter Quarter.It is, of course, impossible on an occasion likethis to describe in detail the faults of the presentregulations and modifications proposed in thereport of the commission. Suffice it to say thatthe chief aims of the report are : first, a closerarticulation between the secondary schools andthe University, by recognizing the independenceof the former, and by making the admissionrequirements of the latter sufficiently flexible tomeet most of the cases that are likely to arise,without at the same time lowering the standardsof excellence; and, second, the assurance ofmore unified work in the University, by abandoning the requirement of so many singlespecified courses in different subjects, and byallowing each student greater freedom in shap ing his course of study under the advice of thatdepartment of the University in which his greatest interest lies.ADVISORY COMMITTEESIn accordance with action taken some yearsago by the Trustees of the University, AdvisoryCommittees have been established in connectionwith certain departments and groups of departments. A most valuable service has thus beenrendered, for example, in connection with theYerkes Observatory. I desire to make inquirywhether the time has not come when a largerapplication of this principle may be workedout to the advantage of the University. Thereare many men and women who would bepleased to serve the interests of higher educationand investigation if a suitable opportunity couldbe found. There seems to be no reason whyhundreds of such persons might not be given theopportunity, if the departments interested wereto look into the matter closely and secure tothemselves the manifest advantages which wouldcome from the adoption of this policy. I desireto propose that during the coming Quarter aneffort be made in this direction in the case of thefollowing departments or groups of departments : ( I ) the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures, (2) the Department ofRomance Languages and Literatures, (3) theDepartment of the English Language and Literature, (4) the Department of Chemistry, (5)the Department of Botany, and (6) the Department of Geology. I have mentioned these particular departments because it would seem thathere, if anywhere, such a policy could be adoptedwith advantage.ORGANIZATION OF UNIVERSITY FELLOWSIn the early part of the Quarter the Fellowsof the University came together officially toconsider the interests of this important body ofthe University. The relation of the Fellow tothe University is a close one. He is to all intentsand purposes an officer of the institution as wellUNIVERSITY RECORD 291as a student. His interests are, to be sure, largely departmental, but it was discovered that manyUniversity Fellows were disposed to accept responsibility for a relationship to the Universityin general as well as to the department. It wasconceded that many opportunities afforded themby the University were neglected, and that without seriously detracting from the attention nowgiven by them to departmental work, they mightacquaint themselves with the more general problems of university and college education. To thisend a committee of their number was appointedto confer with the President of the Universityand the Dean of the Faculties of Arts, Literature, and Science, with reference to an organization which would bring to them in an officialway certain advantages not hitherto enjoyed.This committee is now considering the questionproposed and a report will be made early in thenext Quarter. It is altogether probable that theUniversity Fellows have thus far been treatedtoo largely as individuals and that their corporate existence in the University has notbeen sufficiently recognized. It would be a mistake to suggest or permit an innovation, the result of which would be an interference withtheir special relation to the departments. Buton the other hand it is equally a mistake for theUniversity and for them that they should failto recognize their responsibility to the work ofeducation at large.NEW APPOINTMENTS DURING THE AUTUMNQUARTERFrederick E.

Those made during her lifetimeamounted to $140,000. On a large portion ofthis the University paid Mrs. Kelly an annuity.The total amount of this annuity during the lastentire year of her life was $6,500. The fullbenefit of these gifts now accrues to the University. But, in addition to this, Mrs, Kelly waspleased in the goodness of her heart to bequeathto the University at her death the sum of $150,-000, to be used for a building or for somepurpose associated with a building. While noofficial action has been taken, it is understoodthat this sum will be used for the erection of theClassical Building, the location of which hasalready been fixed at the corner of Fifty-ninthStreet and Ellis Avenue. In my conversationswith Mrs. Kelly in reference to this gift sheexpressed her desire that the money should beused for a building, and particularly that itshould be used for a Classical Building. Planshad already been suggested for this building,but the final decision in reference to the arrangement and architecture of the building has notyet been made.SPECIAL CHIMES FOR ATHLETESThe following letter explains itself :Chicago, November 30, 1904.My Dear President Harper:It is with the greatest pleasure and satisfaction that Iherewith send you a check for $1,000 as a gift to the University. It was just a year ago during my sickness, youwill remember, that the thought of making this gift cameto me. I was greatly depressed and worried by the spiritshown by our team in the Thanksgiving Day contest, andin casting about for possible helpful things, my mindwent back to my own college days at Yale. The sweetchimes of Battell Chapel had always been an inspirationto me, and I recalled the many, many times during theperiod of my training that that cheery, hopeful ten-o'clockchime had led me to fall asleep with a quiet determinationfor a greater devotion to duty and to my ideals.The thought came to me and filled me with the deepestsatisfaction, " Why not have a good-night chime for our own athletes ? — to let its sweet cadence have a last wordwith them before they fall asleep ; to speak to them oflove and loyalty and sacrifice for their University and ofhope and inspiration and endeavor for the morrow."Whenever, therefore, the Alice Freeman Palmerchimes are installed, it would be my wish to have a specialcadence rung for our athletes who are in training — perhaps five to ten minutes after the regular chimes at teno'clock.Sincerely,A. Alonzo Stagg.FOLKLORE GIFTDuring the last few years an interest has beenawakened among many people in the city ofChicago in the study of folklore, and an association for the promotion of such study has beenformed. The Trustees of the University havebeen notified that the members of this association have established a prize to be awarded bythe University to the author of a paper on somephase of the subject of folklore ; and to this endthey have presented the University the nucleusof a fund which amounts to $430. In connection with other material given the University thetotal gift is valued at considerably more thanthis sum. It is understood that this gift will beincreased from time to time by friends of thework. This prize is to be given not oftenerthan once a year.NEW SCHOLARSHIPSThree people have rendered the Universitythis autumn a great service. Each of these per-sons has arranged to give the annual student feesfor one student during the year, namely $120.In this way three students are permitted for anentire scholastic year to enjoy the privilegesof the University without cost to themselves.Each of them is compelled to earn the money forhis current expenses by doing outside work.I cannot imagine a greater service than this.There are a thousand men and women in thecity of Chicago who might easily render thissame service to the cause of education. In eachcase it would seem a small gift, but who canmeasure the magnitude of it in the results thatUNIVERSITY RECORD 293follow? The names of the donors for the present year are : George R. Peck, Mrs. William R.Linn, Mrs. LaVerne W. Noyes.THE LOWY SCHOLARSHIPReference has just been made to the greatservice rendered the University by those whoare kind enough to contribute annual scholarships. A still greater service in degree is rendered by those who are willing to establish permanent scholarships ; and I have the pleasureto announce that a scholarship of $3,000, whichwill yield $120 a year, has been established byMr. Herman Lowy in memory of his son,Walter D. Lowy, a former student in the University. This scholarship is to be used for meeting the tuition fees of some deserving student,and is to be known as "The Walter D. LowyScholarship."THE BERNAYS LIBRARYOne of the greatest needs felt by the departments of the University is that of books, and Irepresent the departments correctly when I saythat no gift is more greatly appreciated than onewhich provides for the purchase of new books.In view of this fact, it gives me great pleasureto announce that through the generosity of Mr.Julius Rosenwald the University has been able topurchase at a cost of $6,500 the library of thelate Professor of German in the University ofMunich, Professor Bernays. This library contains about 9,000 volumes of texts in Frenchclassics of the eighteenth century and severalthousand volumes dealing with the literary history of the eighteenth century. It is particularlyrich in editions of Goethe and in works onGoethe, Lessing, Wieland, and Herder. Thereare, besides, valuable original editions of theRomantic School in Germany, and much historical, philosophical, and theological materialbearing on the eighteenth century. It containslikewise a small but valuable Dante collection, anexcellent Petrarch collection, a large number ofAriosto, Bocaccio, and Tasso editions, and a con siderable amount of material dealing withMonti, Leopardi, and other eighteenth-centuryItalians.A NEW LECTURESHIP ON GERMAN HISTORYIt has long been felt by the educated Germansof the country that there is lacking a good shortstatement in English of the history of the German people from the cultural point of view.No one could write such a work, it is agreed,who is not an authority on the subject and whoat the same time does not understand the American attitude toward life and toward politics.Dr. Walther Wever, Imperial German Consulin Chicago, acting as the representative of ourbest German element, conceived the plan ofinducing a German scholar — an authority onGerman history — to lecture at an Americanuniversity on the history of German culture.His lectures, it was hoped, would stimulateinterest in the intellectual life of the Germanpeople, and he would at the same time have anopportunity, through his contact with Americans and American institutions, to get theAmerican point of view.Some months ago, as already announced, Mr.F. J. Dewes of this city expressed to Dr. WaltherWever his willingness to give $2,000 to securean eminent German authority on the subject ofGerman history to lecture at the University ofChicago, with the understanding that the lecturer should later publish in English a shorthistory of the German people. Within a fewdays arrangements have been completed, withthe co-operation of the German government,whereby Professor Hermann Oncken, Professorof History in the University of Berlin, will cometo the University of Chicago during the Autumnand WTinter Quarters of 1905-06 to performthis important service. This is another stepin bringing more closely together two greatcountries.FURTHER GIFTSOther gifts have been received as follows:for German books, $170 from the proceeds of294 UNIVERSITY RECORDthe German play ; for the Oriental ExplorationFund, $270 from Charles L.

The place ofMiss Addams as a leader in this city is unique.The institution of which she stands at the headis one for the existence of which many peoplehave reason to be thankful. Nor does she represent merely the men and women who are directlyhelped by her in their desire to rise higher, but,besides, a great multitude of souls throughoutthe world who have, even at a distance, caughtthe inspiration of her life. We gladly acknowledge the great service which she has rendered usthis evening. To represent the truth as it maybe expressed in the discussion of these greatsocial problems ; to stand, as she has done, anillustration of the possibilities of a life devotedtc the interests of others — all this we have seenagain as we have seen it through many years,tut it comes to us tonight with a stronger anddeeper significance than before.On behalf of the University I present to herour most hearty thanks for the address whichshe has given us and for her presence with uson this occasion.UNIVERSITY RECORD 295ADDRESSES OF WELCOME TO PRINCE FUSHIMI OF JAPAN1ADDRESS OF WELCOME ON BEHALF OF THE VNI-VERSITY FACULTIESBY GEORGE STEPHEN GOODSPEEDProfessor of Comparative Religion and Ancient HistoryYour Imperial Highness, Prince Fushimi:It is with hearty good-will that the Facultiesof the University welcome Your Imperial Highness on this occasion.

These achievements weascribe to the initiative of your young men, yourstudent body. It is said that these advanceshave been due to the wise and firm guidance ofyour emperor, embodying in national councilsand in public administration the marvelous spiritof progress and enlightenment of your people.This is indeed true. But is not your emperorhimself the noblest representative of the besttype of the student body of Japan, and are notthose names already written on your calendar ofnational heroes, your Itos and Oyamas, the students of a generaton ago, the examples of thespirit of your people ?It is with pleasure, then, that we, the studentsof America, have noticed the strengtheningbonds of friendship between our two nations —the stretching-out of hand toward hand in fraternal clasp of fellowship. Our students havevisited your country and have brought backwonderful stories of your learning and yourattainments. Your students have visited ourcountry in large numbers, and have won ourrespect not only for their brilliant achievements,but for their sturdy manhood. Indeed, therehave been particular evidences of the tighteningbonds. During the last autumn the baseballteam of a prominent university in Japan challenged the team of the University of California ;and I will say for the students of the Universityof Chicago that our sorrow would not be unendurable if our brethren of the Far East should,in the interests of true sport, administer a goodtrouncing to our brethren of the Far West.Such things are but straws, Your Highness, butstraws reveal the flow of the deep-swelling current beneath.Let me, then, in bidding Your Highness welcome to our University, on behalf of its students, close with this sentiment : From the students of America to the students of Japan, amessage of fraternity and good-fellowship. RESPONSE TO THE ADDRESSES OF WELCOME*BY HIS IMPERIAL HIGHNESS, PRINCE FUSHIMIHis Imperial Highness wishes to say thatsince he has set his^ foot on this shore he has beenreceived with cordiality and hospitality in all theplaces which he has gone through — Washington, St. Louis, Philadelphia, and New York.And he appreciates very highly the kind attention which has been shown to him since hearrived in this city, and above all the welcome by the student representative of theUniversity, Mr. Terry, and that by ProfessorGoodspeed, who represents the Faculty. Heappreciates all the words which have been pronounced by both of them and thanks you veryheartily.THE MEETINGS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF THE AMERICAN HISTORICAL, ECONOMIC, AND POLITICALSCIENCE ASSOCIATIONSThe American Historical Association, theAmerican Economic Association, and theAmerican Political Science Association met inChicago, chiefly at the University of Chicago,on December 28, 29, and 30, 1904. It was thetwentieth annual meeting of the first, the seventeenth of the second, and the first annual meeting held by the last-named association, whichwas organized at New Orleans a year ago. Theheadquarters of all three associations was in theReynolds Club House, which afforded ampleopportunities for social intercourse and for committee meetings. The opportunity which themembers enjoyed to breakfast, lunch, and dinetogether in Hutchinson Hall or at the Quadrangle Club promoted acquaintance and sociability in a high degree, and it has been reportedthat no previous meetings have been so successful in these respects.Most of the sessions for the reading of paperswere held in Mandel Assembly Hall or in thexThe response, which was in the Japanese language, wasinterpreted to the audience by a member of the official staffof Prince Fushimi.UNIVERSITY RECORD 297library or theater of the Reynolds Club House.One of the joint sessions of the historians andthe economists was held at the building of theChicago Historical Society, another at that ofNorthwestern University. The University dormitories were largely used for the housing ofmembers. The registration of the AmericanHistorical Association reached the unprecedented number of 260; that of the economists,about 150; and that of the American PoliticalScience Association, about 60. With someallowance for duplication, there must have beenmore than four hundred persons present in all.The University showed hospitality, not onlyby general arrangements, but by a luncheon toall three societies in Hutchinson Hall on Wednesday noon, December 28. The President ofthe University gave a reception to the membersof all three associations, and to ladies accompanying them, on Thursday afternoon. Mrs.William Gardner Hale opened her house to theladies on Wednesday afternoon ; and Mrs. MaryJ.

The Political Science Association also held a joint sessionwith the economists, in which the general topicof corporations and railways was discussed, andthree independent sessions occupied respectivelywith topics of international law, with mattersrelating to the government of colonies and dependencies, and with problems of the relationbetween state and local governments. The session of their committee on comparative legislation was also noteworthy. Of the independentsessions of the economists one was devoted tothe theory of money, one to the question of theopen or closed shop, which was discussed byprofessors, employers, and representatives ofthe workingmen, and one to the question ofpreferential tariffs and reciprocity, in which theleading part was taken by Canadian members.The joint meeting of the Historical and Economic Associations held on Wednesday evening at the building of the Chicago HistoricalAssociation was marked by an address of welcome by President Franklin H. Head of thatsociety, and by the annual addresses of Professor Frank W. Taussig, president of the American Economic Association, and ProfessorGoldwin Smith, president of the American Historical Association, the former speaking onlf The Present Position of the Doctrine of FreeTrade," the latter on "The Treatment of History." At the joint meeting of these two associations held on Friday evening, December 30,the leading feature was a statement by ColonelCarroll D. Wright, Chairman of the Department of Economics and Sociology in theCarnegie Institution, of the plans framed bythat department for an extensive economic history of the United States, and a discussion ofthe same by representative members of the twoassociations — Professors John B. McMaster,of the University of Pennsylvania ; Charles H.Hull, of Cornell University; and Henry R.Seager, of Columbia University.298 UNIVERSITY RECORDThe separate sessions of the American Historical Association were made notable by thepresence and participation of an unusual number of eminent foreign scholars, ProfessorEttore Pais, of the University of Naples, speaking on Roman history; Professor PaulMilyoukov, of Russia, on Russian historiography; and Professor Friedrich Keutgen, ofJena, on the necessity in America of the studyof the early history of modern European nations.

Reinsch, of the University of Wisconsin, first and second vice-presidents respectively.The next sessions of the three associationswill be held in the latter part of December, 1905,at Baltimore and Washington.NEW COURSES AT UNIVERSITY COLLEGEDuring the Autumn Quarter some interestingadditions to University work have been madeat University College in the center of the city.The first is the establishment of courses inRailway Organization, Management, and Finance. Two courses of introductory lecturessecured a registration of ninety-six men and amaximum attendance upon general lectures ofone hundred and fifty. A strong AdvisoryCommittee of railway officials has been organized, and a curriculum of courses coveringall branches of railway work which can behandled in classrooms has been put forward.They cover in all some twelve Majors, including the organization, construction, operating,financing, and history of railways, together withproblems of making rates and of public control,and they require normally four years of a student's time to finish. Provision is also made in theplans for systematic extension lecturing at Railway Divisional points and for the conduct ofmany courses by correspondence. Cordial professional and financial support has been givenby prominent railway officials of the city, and itUNIVERSITY RECORD 299now seems possible to provide under the University auspices for a trustworthy method oftraining employees to advance to the higher positions of railway management. The new coursesbegin actively on January 9, 1905, and extendthrough the Winter and Spring Quarters.The second new development has comethrough the organization, in co-operation withthe American Institute of Bank Clerks of theAmerican Bankers' Association, of a three-year course for young men in the employ ofbanking institutions, or those preparing to entersuch service. The banking course begins withthe Winter Quarter and includes, besidescourses in Practical Banking and Money, othersin Accounting and Finance, Political Economy,Commercial Law, and Commercial Geography.These courses of study have been specially prepared after conference and correspondence withpractical bank men and with those interested inthe educational scheme established by the American Bankers' Association for the AmericanInstitute of Bank Clerks. They are intendedto give that knowledge of our credit, financial,and industrial organization essential to the conduct of banking, embracing a thorough knowledge of the principles of money, business practice, and commercial law. The training will bestrictly professional rather than technical, andwill lead to a University certificate in banking,as well as a certificate in the Institute of BankClerks.The third of these experiments is the Instituteof Social Science and Arts, under the directionof Professor Graham Taylor, of the ChicagoTheological Seminary and Chicago Commons,who is also Professorial Lecturer on Sociologyin the University of Chicago. A series ofcourses of University rank has been constitutedfor training philanthropic and social workersfor expert professional service.During the autumn the following Minorcourses were given : " Dependencies and Charities," " Defective and Delinquent Children," and "Industrial Relations (the Labor Movement)."There was a total registration of thirty-threestudents, with a large attendance upon a seriesof supplementary open lectures.Professor Taylor has been assisted by a largenumber of the most distinguished workers inphilanthropies in Chicago. In addition to thesecourses which are continued, a new and richcourse is offered for the winter on "PublicCharities," contributed to by eight instructors.The plans of the Institute include the organization of a complete school for the professionaltraining of social workers.The organization of these railroad, banking,and philanthropic courses is regarded by theDeans as the beginning at University College ofan enlarged educational policy. It is the intention still further to develop this work alongvarious lines of industrial and social interests,looking toward the ultimate completion of agreat civic college in the center of the city,adapted to the industrial character and interestsof the community as well as to its artistic,philosophic, and scientific interests. In thisway it is believed that the University willwiden its educational influence by placing itsresources at the service of those for whom theyhave hitherto been unavailable.A civic college standing for the higher educational interests in the active community is afitting complement of every great university.The University proper exists for the educationof the youth ; the civic college for the educationof the community at work.A LECTURER FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF NAPLESProfessor Ettore Pais, of the University ofNaples, upon whom the University conferredthe honorary degree of Doctor of Laws at itsChristmas Convocation, was born in a villagein the Maritime Alps in 1856. He received hisearly education in Tuscany and later studied inthe universities of Florence and Berlin, in the300 UNIVERSITY RECORDlast-mentioned place under the famous historian and scholar, Theodor Mommsen. Afterholding successively positions in Sassari, Cag-liari, and Palermo, he was elected to the chairof ancient history and classical antiquities inPisa, from which place he was called to hispresent position in the University of Naples.Professor Pais has devoted himself especiallyto the ancient history and antiquities of Italyand Sicily, and in recognition of his services hasbeen made a member of the Accademia deiLincei, of the Academy of Sciences of Munich,and of several other learned bodies. He hasbeen decorated for his services to classical learning by the German emperor and is a member ofthe Legion of Honor.For three years or more he was director ofthe Museum of Naples, and in this capacity hadcharge of the excavations at Pompeii and insouthern Italy. His contributions to the studyof early Italian history and of classical antiquities have been very large and important.Among his many monographs may be mentionedthe following : La Sardegna prima del DominioRomano (1881) ; Straboniana (1886); Corporis Inscriptionum Laiinarum Supplementumltd. Additamenta ad Vol. V (1884-1888) ;and his Storia delta Sicilia e delta MagnaGrecia, of which volume one has appeared. HisStoria di Roma, on which he is now engaged,brings his account of Roman history down tothe time of Pyrrhus.The two lectures which Professor Pais delivered at the University on December 16 and 19will form part of a forthcoming volume entitledLegends of Ancient Roman History. The lectures were on the general subject of RomanHistory and Antiquities, the first being " Excavations in the Roman Forum : Their Importancefor the Earliest Roman History ; " and the sec-ond> "The Legend of Servius Tullius andEtruscan Domination." Both lectures wereillustrated by lantern-slide views, and weregiven in the Assembly Room of the HaskellOriental Museum. THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE OF THE THEOLOGICALUNIONA special meeting of the Advisory Committeeof the Theological Union was held in HaskellAssembly Hall on Monday and Tuesday, December 12 and 13. The committee is composedof one hundred prominent ministers, laymen,and educators. About forty members werepresent, representing twelve states. The President of the University presented to the committee a preliminary report and an officialstatement. Among the announcements made tothe committee the most important was that ofthe appointment of Professor Shailer Mathews,of the Department of New Testament Literature and Interpretation, to a professorship inthe Department of Systematic Theology. Thistransfer is made with a view to increasing theefficiency of the Department of SystematicTheology in preparing men for the work ofpreaching, and to conserving that freedom ofteaching in the Divinity School which it hasalways enjoyed in common with the otherschools of the University, and which is necessary to the prosecution of the investigative sideof its work.There are fourteen Standing Committees,which have under consideration many problemsand groups of problems that concern the interests of the Divinity School in particular and oftheological education in general. Many of theseproblems it will be impossible to solve withoutthorough investigation, requiring an acquaintance not only with our own School but withthe theological seminaries of the country.These committees aim to prepare reports of ascientific character, which shall serve the interests of theological education everywhere andnot merely those of our own Seminary anddenomination.The deliberations of the committee were characterized by great enthusiasm and unanimity.The members realize how important is the workcommitted to them and evince the purpose to dothat work with fidelity and thoroughness.UNIVERSITY RECORD 301PROMOTION OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH BY WOMENThe Executive Board of the Association forMaintaining the American Women's Table atthe Zoological Station at Naples and for Promoting Scientific Research by Women wishes tocall attention to the opportunities for research inzoology, botany, and physiology provided by thefoundation of this table.The Zoological Station at Naples was openedby Professor Anton Dohrn in 1872 for the collection of biological material, and for the studyof all forms of plant and animal life.
