MISCELLANEOUS ANNOUNCEMENTSMr. Trevor Arnett has resigned the office of Vice-President and Business Manager of the University. In 1901 he became Auditor of the University, and was always a faithful officer and an ardent friend. To those1 Read at the One Hundred Forty-first Convocation, held in Hutchinson Court,June 15, 1926.i73174 THE UNIVERSITY RECORDwho have known Mr. Arnett during this period, it is unnecessary to comment upon the extraordinary service which he has rendered to this institution. Endowed with unusual genius for matters of this sort, and himselfan alumnus of the University, he has devoted his best energies to its welfare. It is a matter of great satisfaction to report that Mr. Arnett hasbeen elected a member of the Board of Trustees. At a special meeting ofthe Board of Trustees in April, Mr. Lloyd R. Steere was appointed Vice-President and Business Manager of the University, to succeed Mr. Arnettin that office. Mr. Steere's duties began May i, 1926.On March 23, 1926, occurred the death of Albion Woodbury Small,for many years Professor and Head of the Department of Sociology. Inmemory of this distinguished scholar and noble member of the makers ofour University, I ask the audience to stand during the playing of Pleyel'shymn.III. GIFTSThe following is a statement of gifts, outside of the DevelopmentFund, received by the University during the quarter now closing:From Mr. Julius Rosenwald $30,000 for the purchase of additionalland and the building of an addition to the house of the Oriental Instituteat Luxor, Egypt; from the E.

C. Stringer, the sum of $500 for the use of the Department of Ophthalmology; from the Pi Delta Phi Club of the University,the sum of $1,650 to establish a Pi Delta Phi Scholarship Fund.Through the Trustees, under the will of Harriet G. Smith the University receives a fund of present value $283,000 to establish and maintain a hospital for contagious diseases, to be known as "The Charles Gil-man Smith Hospital," in connection with the medical schools and hospitals of the University.The University has received a grant from the Carnegie Corporationof $1,385,000 for a graduate library school at the University. It is notnecessary here to recite in full the conditions under which this gift is received. The University undertakes to carry out the purpose of establishing and maintaining on a high standard, "The Graduate Library School,"in which college graduates who look to a career as librarians, researchworkers, and teachers of library science may find opportunity for a broadrather than a technical training, where those already in the professionmay be fitted for higher service, and where research may be conducted bythe staff and the students. It is to be understood that the purpose of thisgraduate library school is not primarily to train for technique in libraryadministration but to organize its research and instruction around thebroad conception of a library as a tool of education and research.The University is now in process of organizing a School of Nursing,leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science. It will be the aim of thisschool to raise the standard of nursing education and to prepare its graduates and other .qualified graduate nurses for positions of standing andleadership in the nursing profession, including executive, teaching, pub-176 THE UNIVERSITY RECORDlie-health, and other similar forms of service. It will require a large sumnot less than one million dollars, to provide endowment for this undertaking.A very significant beginning has already been made upon this planthrough a gift of approximately five hundred thousand dollars, which isprovided for in an agreement just concluded with the Illinois TrainingSchool for Nurses. This institution, which has been pre-eminent in itsfield of nursing education in the Middle West for almost half a centuryhas agreed to turn over to the University all of its properties in furtherance of the School of Nursing. This agreement provides for ample timewithin which the present service which the Illinois Training School renders to the Cook County Hospital may be taken care of and the interestsof the Cook County poor in that institution safeguarded.Organized in September, 1880, the Illinois Training School has hadthe devoted attention of many of the leading women of this communityand the support of many of its citizens. It has graduated over seven hundred women into the profession of nursing, many of whom are now rendering distinguished service in their chosen field. It is especially gratifying to the University that these women of Chicago are intrusting theirresources and this heritage into the hands of the University for the splendid cause of developing the field of nursing education.During the quarter Mr. Frank P. Hixon, desiring to promote a groupof Distinguished Service Professorships, offered to endow one if a groupof five could be formed. Mr. C. H. Swift has allocated his gift of $200,-000, previously reported, for the endowment of one. The previous gift ofMr. Andrew MacLeish, who for many years rendered high service to theUniversity as Trustee and Vice-Chairman of the Board, has been supplemented by gifts from members of his family to a total of $250,000,and allocated to the support of a Distinguished Service Professorship anda Visiting Professorship. Mr. Sewell L. Avery allocates $200,000 of agift of $250,000, not previously reported, for a Distinguished ServiceProfessorship, and the group of five has been completed by Robert Lav/,Jr., who agrees to augment his previous pledge of $80,000 for thispurpose.In the course of the years the University is assembling a group ofmemorials which are evidence of our enduring affection for former Presidents, Trustees, administrative officers, and members of the Faculties.These oil portraits, bronze and stone tablets, marble and bronze busts arebecoming numerous enough and of sufficient merit to be worthy of recognition as works of art. During the quarter just closed there have been^ -^"TrI a r fsnsfsmmsn 'H3-s=,.EB5r Vv+A*2&it: S^ M? /J'.A IV~— /.0*L-'**»F mM|B£*i2* */CVBRONZE TABLET IN MEMORY OF CHARLES L.

Gift of Class of 1923Leonard Crunelle, SculptorTHE PRESIDENTS CONVOCATION STATEMENT 177presented an unusually large number of such permanent reminders ofthose who have shed honor upon the institution. These deserve mentionand recognition apart from the customary quarterly list of gifts.The Class of 1923 has provided a bronze plaque with bas-relief portrait of President Harry Pratt Judson modeled by Leonard Crunelle. Itwill be permanently placed in Mandel corridor, to commemorate President Judson 's eminent services.Former students and his colleagues on the Faculties, more than fourhundred in number, have presented an oil portrait of President ErnestDeWitt Burton. It is the work of Malcolm Parcell and will take its placewith other notable paintings in Hutchinson Hall.In Hutchinson Hall, also, in a prominent position, will be installed abronze tablet in honor of Charles L. Hutchinson, for thirty-four years aTrustee and Treasurer of the University. It is fitting that it should beplaced, as the inscription declares, "in the hall which his generosity provided." The tablet was modeled by Fred Torrey. The tablet was provided by gifts of Mr. Hutchinson's fellow-Trustees.Three new portraits are hung in the Common Room of the TheologyBuilding: one of the late Dean Eri B. Hulbert, of the Divinity School,painted by Ralph Clarkson; one of Dean Shailer Mathews, painted byPaul Trebilcock; and a third of Professor Andrew C. McLaughlin, Headof the Department of History, painted by Malcolm Parcell. Each of thesewas presented by former students and other friends.A portrait of Dr. William Farr, an eminent pioneer in the field ofpublic health, has been presented to the University and will be hung inRicketts Laboratory North. The donor is Mr. W. J. H. Whittal, Hasle-mere, England. A bronze portrait bust of the late Alexander Smith, eminent chemist, to be placed in Kent Chemical Laboratory, has been givenby his widow, now resident in Pasadena, California.IV. BUILDINGSThe quarter now closing has witnessed the completion and occupancyof the Whitman Laboratory and the Theology Building. The BondChapel, the gift of Mrs. Joseph Bond, is very nearly completed. Rapidprogress is being made in the construction of the buildings for the medicalschools. On Friday, June 11, the cornerstone of the University Chapelwas laid, and bids are being taken for the construction of Wieboldt Hall.V. THE DEVELOPMENT FUNDThe Alumni have completed, during this quarter, their subscriptionof $2,000,000 to the endowment of the University, and I shall take this178 THE UNIVERSITY RECORDopportunity to review briefly the remarkable support given to the University in the past two years by Alumni, Trustees, and friends.Led by the vision and faith of President Burton, the Trustees determined in 1924 that a time had come which called for large increases inthe University funds, if the responsibilities and opportunities which confronted it were to be met. They approved plans for a development campaign and themselves contributed $1,693,300. The General EducationBoard offered a subscription of $2,000,000 for endowment, conditionalupon the raising of an additional $4,000,000. Representatives of theAlumni determined upon $2,000,000 for the Alumni quota, and theAlumni campaign opened in March, 1925, and subscriptions for abouttwo-thirds of their quota had been received at the time of President Burton's death. On May 26, 1926, one year afterward, the alumni quotawas completed by a gift of $80,000 from Robert Law, Jr., and since thatday $25,000 has been added.In the meantime there has been a growing understanding and appreciation of the work and aims of the University in the Chicago community. A group of leading citizens has accepted membership in a committee formed under the chairmanship of Mr. B. E. Sunny to further thatunderstanding. Generous support of the work of the University has already been obtained, and will continue. Today the conditional gift of theGeneral Education Board is assured. The total amount of subscriptionto the Development Fund is nearly $8,000,000, of which over $2,000,000has come from the Alumni, nearly $2,000,000 from the Trustees, $2,000,-000 from the General Education Board, and $2,000,000 from the public.For purposes not included in the Development Fund other subscriptionsof large amount have been received in this period for a total of approximately $4,000,000, making all together about $12,000,000 in the pasttwo years.Names of subscribers of $10,000 or more, showing amounts pledged,including many not previously announced: Trustees, $1,711,500; General Education Board, $2,000,000; Robert Law, Jr., $200,000; CharlesH.

Holabird (for Holabird and Roche), WeymouthKirkland, Mrs. Elizabeth Rankin Crossett, L. B. Vaughan.The present graduating class has pledged $12,500, its class gift, toapply on the endowment of an Ernest DeWitt Burton memorial professorship.We express our deep appreciation to all these supporters of our work,and no less to those others who in many cases have carried generosity tothe point of great sacrifice, in order that the University may grow instrength.In addition to these gifts for the Development Fund there have beenreceived during the past two years the following gifts for purposes notincluded in the Development Program: two previously mentioned —$1,000,000 from the Carnegie Foundation for the endowment of a graduate library school, and $283,000 for the Gilman Smith Contagious Disease Hospital; $600,600 from the estate of Helen Culver; $1,000,000from John D. Rockefeller, Jr., for the endowment of the Divinity School;i8o THE UNIVERSITY RECORD$45,000 from the Nursery Association; the gift of approximately $500,-000 from the Illinois Training School for Nurses previously referred to;$1,000,000 from Douglas Smith for medical research; and $100,000from Mrs. Anna L. Raymond for use in the medical schools.Increased support has thus been given the University in large measure, yet the demands of the immediate future are even greater. PresidentBurton estimated that the assets of the University would be doubled bythe year 1940 if the challenge of the future were met. In fact, the budgetof the University increased by $961,000, from 1923 to 1926-27. Whilenotable improvement in the salary scale has been made, support of theFaculty is still far from adequate, and imperative building needs must bemet in the immediate future. There is immediate need of endowment forthe Graduate School of Social Service Administration, an instrument ofhigh value for human welfare, which must receive increased support.The great program of medical education and research before theUniversity will demand large endowment funds. This program is drawnon the lines of the highest standards, and offers opportunities of incalculable value to mankind.VI. THE WORK OF THE UNIVERSITYGreat as are the future needs, there is every indication that they willbe met, and that the program of increased excellence of performance towhich the University is pledged, will find realization. No other result isconsistent with the high idealism, generosity, and spirit of service whichpervade the life of the Chicago community.The University's program is that of unification and intensification ofeffort, rather than expansion or enlargement. The temptation to indefinite multiplication of courses must be resisted if successful training is tobe given in those fundamentals which form the highest common factorsof successful intellectual endeavor. The departmental organization ofuniversities makes for separation of effort and at times for the support ofresearch of negligible meaning. The training must be vital, the researchsignificant, not merely sufficient unto itself.Broadly speaking, the University consists of two institutes — an institute of natural science, and an institute of human behavior — co-operating in the conscious evolution of civilization. We are forcing forward theboundaries of knowledge, and concentration of effort on essentials will beimpossible if we dissipate effort in nonessentials. The ultimate influenceon happiness is the only criterion, difficult though it may be in application, for the determination of the values of the University's work.However emphasis in subject may shift from decade to decade, theTHE PRESIDENTS CONVOCATION STATEMENT 181spirit of the work of the whole University will always be given by itstraditions and ideals of high attainment in creative scholarship. In itsGraduate Schools, and also in its Undergraduate Colleges, the University's effort is to educate for deeper insight, not to train in the practice ofa formalism. The latter course is always tempting, as the easy way inclassroom procedure, both graduate and undergraduate. In the graduatework and certainly in the Senior College as well, the students must studysubjects, rather than take courses. The over-emphasis on course takingis widespread, and many a college student seems to feel that he must diewithout knowing anything about a subject, unless he has taken acourse in it.Recent years have seen many expressions of dissatisfaction with theresults of the American undergraduate colleges. We are in a period ofwholesome self-examination and experimentation for means of vitalizingthe intellectual life of the undergraduate. Under the leadership of DeanWilkins much has been accomplished at Chicago, and the work will continue under Dean Boucher. The dominance of the University by thespirit of performance gives promise for the future, as the emphasis isplaced still more on opportunity, and less on compulsion. Interest thriveson responsibility and opportunities for initiative, and in our Undergraduate Colleges, with a background of creative scholarship given by theGraduate Schools, we may well go far in abandoning any methods whichseem to be based on the assumption that the undergraduate goes to college to resist an education. The American undergraduate shows greatinterest and energy in his self -managed extra-curricular affairs— the so-called "student activities." Our goal will be reached when, in this senseof the word, the intellectual work of the College becomes a "studentactivity." Under such conditions the Undergraduate College will stimulate, as it is stimulated by, the work in graduate teaching and research.The interest and appreciation of students in the Junior College has beenincreased by the orientation courses, carried this year into the Sophomore year, and consisting of "The Nature of the World and of Man,""An Introduction to Reflective Thinking," "Man in Society," and "TheMeaning arid Value of the Arts." So far these courses have been openonly to a selected group of students by invitation, but plans are underconsideration which look toward opening them to larger numbers. Suchcourses may well prove of the greatest value in fixing the temper of thework of general education in the Junior College, when supplemented bycourses of specific training. Improved preparation for creative work inthe Graduate Schools may be possible in the Senior College, by placing182 THE UNIVERSITY RECORDfurther emphasis on the stimulation of self-study in specialized fieldsand on independence of action.The University, as its motto indicates, exists for the enrichment oflife through the growth of knowledge. Man has undertaken the greatadventure of discovery, and his knowledge of nature has grown by leapsand bounds through the technique of learning which we call the scientificmethod. By his application of pure scientific research he has gained control of vast forces, and is being rapidly released from physical drudgery.The success of the scientific method has been so striking that it has determined the very temper of our mentality. The body of detailed knowledgehas become enormous. But the process is not that of heaping complexityon complexity. As knowledge grows, great simplifications appear.The development of our knowledge of the physical universe is astartling example. But three centuries ago, Galileo dared challenge theauthority of Aristotle, and appealed to experiment to initiate the scienceof the mechanical behavior of matter. With rapidity knowledge wasgained in the great chapters of physics — mechanics, sound, heat, light,electricity, and magnetism. And as knowledge grew the great simplifications emerged. Sound was recognized as a mechanical behavior, heat as amolecular mechanical behavior. Magnetism became electricity, and lightan electrical phenomenon. Then with a burst of speed came knowledge ofthe great unity. Matter itself is an electrical complex, and all behaviorof matter describable as electrical behavior — one law in the atom and theuniverse. The universe itself a living unit, each atom, each electron,bound to every other.And now man studies himself. Released from the prejudices of anextreme ego-centricity, released from fear of the truth, he shall obtainself-mastery, through self -understanding, adequate to the direction of theforces of nature which are at his command.We have faith that as self-knowledge grows, the result will again be,not the heaping of complexity upon complexity, but the recognition ofunderlying simplicities.With a growing conception of the unity of the physical universe, andthe essential unity of life, the conviction grows that man is traveling atrue path toward the great goal — an understanding of the mystery ofexistence.For no lesser purpose do mathematicians and biologists, psychologists and humanists, devote their lives in the quest for truth. For no otherultimate purpose does this University exist.THE BOARD OF TRUSTEESBy J.

A receptionfollowed in the north room of the Reynolds Club, after which the guestswere entertained at a luncheon in honor of their Royal Highnesses, theCrown Prince and Princess, in Hutchinson Hall. The Crown Prince madetwo addresses, the first in acceptance of the honor which the Universityhad conferred upon him, and the second at the end of the luncheon, whenhe presented to the University a collection of works of Swedish authors,which are to be added to the library of the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures. The remarks by the Crown Prince, PresidentMason, and Dr. Judson upon this occasion are herewith presented:ADDRESS OF DR. JUDSONThe policy of the University of Chicago in awarding honorary degrees has been extremely conservative. The purpose has been solely torecognize distinction in science, in letters, in statesmanship. The numberof such degrees has been very small, and a recipient is thus, we believe,one of a distinguished fellowship. The honorary degree of Doctor ofLaws we have bestowed on two presidents of the United States — WilliamMcKinley and Theodore Roosevelt; on two ambassadors to the UnitedStates, each resident in this country for many years and each an eminentscholar and author — Jean Jules Jusserand, the Ambassador of France,and James Bryce, the Ambassador of Great Britain; on one famous soldier, who victoriously commanded great armies which included the American Expeditionary Force, Marshal Ferdinand Foch ; and on a few others.To this group of those whom the University has thus sought to honor192DEGREE CONFERRED UPON CROWN PRINCE OF SWEDEN 193we wish today to add one more, one eminently worthy of membership inour list of honored ones.On behalf of the University Senate, I present for the honorary degreeof Doctor of Laws of the University of Chicago — on the ground of hisfruitful devotion to the addition to scientific knowledge in an importantfield of learning; of his zealous interest in human welfare, becoming theleader of a great nation bound to us by many ties of blood and of socialideals — His Royal Highness, Gustaf Adolph, Crown Prince of Sweden.ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT MASONGustaf Adolph, Crown Prince of Sweden, Statesman and Scholar:In a life busy with the affairs of state and the preparation for leadership of a progressive nation you have found time to devote your energiesin no small way to productive scholarship — in particular to the promotionof man's knowledge of ancient cultures, increasing thereby that detailedknowledge of the evolution of man's civilization so important for thosewho with clear vision are to direct the destinies of the race in the future.Evidencing your interest at an early age you soon engaged in important personal investigations of relics of the bronze and stone age inSweden. With this performance your interest grew and broadened.Through your initiative and organization enterprises of wider scope inthe field of archaeology were promoted. Through your efforts Sweden hascontributed largely to the international work of archaeological study onclassical ground. Swedish archaeological expeditions in Greece havemade rich and important finds, and you yourself have taken an activepart in discovery and interpretation. You have given enthusiastic support to the foundation of a Swedish Archaeological Institute in Rome.Through your chairmanship of the China Committee and of the SwedishOriental Society you have promoted and guided important studies in ancient cultures.Thus you have devoted your life to a happy combination of preparation for leadership of a great people and of promotion of productive scholarship. Your country will find in you a leader who is both statesman andscholar.The University of Chicago today gives formal recognition of yourabilities and accomplishments. Pursuant to the recommendation of theSenate and the vote of the Trustees, I, by the authority vested in me,hereby confer upon you the degree of Doctor of Laws, and in tokenthereof I hand you this diploma.194 THE UNIVERSITY RECORDADDRESS OF THE CROWN PRINCEMr. President, Ladies, and Gentlemen:The University of Chicago has been kind enough to confer upon mean honorary degree of Doctor of Laws. Thus I now belong to your famous university, where so many prominent American citizens have carried their studies. May I tell you how extremely honored I feel that thisdistinction should have been bestowed on me, and let me express to youall my profound thanks for your great kindness.I look upon this distinction as something given not only and not evenchiefly to myself, but rather to my country.I venture to regard it as a recognition of the high standard of Swedisharchaeological research by such a brilliant name as that of Oscar Monte-lius. It is a real privilege to have known such an eminent scientist. Hismuch lamented death a few years ago was, I believe, not only a great lossto Sweden but also to this international world of scientific research.I am only an amateur in the realm of science and as such I must confess that I feel rather diffident among this great gathering of learned men.My consolation must be that even a poor amateur like myself can benevertheless, a real enthusiast. Wishing to serve science, an amateur mayof chance be of some little use if only he recognizes the limitations whichhis status as a nonprofessional necessarily must impose upon him.It seems to me that archaeology, and most especially prehistoricarchaeology, has a rather marked tendency in our day to become moreand more universal in its scope. I believe that as time goes on we shallfind more and more that you cannot very well study one branch of thatscience without studying the other.- A comparison between the prehistoric civilization of one country andother more or less similar civilizations will have the great advantage ofgiving to the problem of your own country the necessary background. Itwill throw the light of universality on your special studies. And it willcertainly help to connect with one another the archaeological problems ofdifferent and sometimes very distant countries.The world of science looks up to such leaders in the realm of generalarchaeology as Osborn, Nelson, Hrdlicka, Breasted, Lauser, and manyother Americans.But there is yet another point I want to emphasize. Art and archaeology must work together in the future much more than they have hitherto. There is a marked tendency to give art a much wider scope than before. To the realm of art are now referred manifestations of humanDEGREE CONFERRED UPON CROWN PRINCE OF SWEDEN 195workmanship, which up to quite lately were looked upon as mere productions of handicraft without much artistic value.Ladies and gentlemen, may I end up by expressing my unlimited admiration for all that is done here in your great and prosperous countryfor promoting university education and science. The fact that so many ofyour universities, so many of your scientific and artistic institutions havebeen founded and are kept up by private enterprise is remarkable. Itshows a public spirit of no mean order, of which any nation might beproud.May I congratulate you on this fact. Surely under such auspices,and taking into account the great gifts of your people, there must be agreat future in store for American science.MEMORIAL EXERCISES FOR ALBIONWOODBURY SMALLOn Tuesday, June 8, 1926, there was held in Leon Mandel AssemblyHall a memorial exercise to commemorate the life and work of AlbionWoodbury Small, Ph.D., LL.D., Professor of Sociology and Head of theDepartment of Sociology in the University of Chicago since the foundingof the University. He was also editor of the American Journal of Sociology since its foundation, and lived to see the thirty-first volume. Professor James Hayden Tufts presided at the meeting, and addresses weremade by Professor Franklin H. Giddings, of Columbia University, whospoke on "Small as a Scholar and Scientist," Professor E. C. Hayes, ofthe University of Illinois, who spoke on "Small as a Teacher," and Professor Robert E. Park, of the University of Chicago, whose address wason "Small as a Colleague." The only daughter of Professor Small, Mrs.Hayden Harris, was present, with other members of the family. The dateof the meeting was arranged in order that Mrs. Harris, who was absentin France at the time of her father's death, might have returned to thecity.196THE CORNERSTONE LAYING OF THEUNIVERSITY CHAPEL AND THEDEDICATION OF THE WHITMANLABORATORY OF EXPERIMENTALZOOLOGYDuring the month of June one University building was dedicated andone was officially started on its way by the laying of the cornerstone. OnJune 4 the Whitman Laboratory of Experimental Zoology was openedfor inspection after an address in Harper Assembly Room on "Biologyand Experimentation" by Professor Herbert Spencer Jennings, of JohnsHopkins University, and a speech by Professor F. R. Lillie, who, withMrs. Lillie, presented the laboratory to the University. At the cornerstone laying for the University Chapel, which was held on June n, Professor James H. Tufts delivered the address. The services were held inMandel Hall because of bad weather, which also kept all but a few awayfrom the site when the cornerstone was set in its place late in theafternoon.Professor Lillie made the following remarks at the dedication of theWhitman Laboratory :"My wife and I feel that a gift (which is easily made) does not weighgreatly in the balance with lifelong devotion to the interests of the University such as so many of our colleagues have given. We are, however,human enough to feel deeply stirred by the appreciation that the gift ofthe Whitman Laboratory has brought forth. We hope that by its equipment for more effective experimental work it may contribute to the fruit-fulness of the scientific research of members of our own Department, andothers within and without the University. It stands for our belief thatresearch is the highest function of the University and for our abidingaffection for the institution in which so great a part of our active life hasbeen spent."The name of the building, Whitman Laboratory of ExperimentalZoology, suggests two topics on which I wish to make a few brief re-197198 THE UNIVERSITY RECORDmarks. The first is personal, and the second concerns the uses of thebuilding."There are many here who remember the person of Professor CharlesOtis Whitman, and some, at least, who know more or less of his claims tobe held in honored memory by this University and by scientific men generally. Yet our times are full of current interest, and memories fade ; weare forgetful without meaning to be unfaithful; hence it is well to recallsome of his features and services. He was a man in whom distinction ofpersonal appearance mirrored distinction of mind and of character, original, clear, and decisive. Of medium height with snow-white hair andbeard from early manhood, erect carriage, piercing gaze, he would attractattention in any assembly."He was one of the original faculty of the new University of Chicago.Called from Clark University as head of the Department of Biology, hebrought with him Mall, Donaldson, Baur, Jordan, Wheeler, Watase, anda group of research students from Clark University, and Jacques Loebfrom Bryn Mawr. It was planned at the beginning to divide the Department of Biology as soon as circumstances warranted it, and with the veryrapid growth of the University this took place within a year; there werethen established departments of Zoology, Botany, Anatomy, Neurology,Physiology, and Palaeontology, in fact, almost the full series of our present biological departments, headed, with the single exception of the Department of Botany, by the men whom Professor Whitman had chosenfor his original united Department of Biology."Whitman was in fact primarily responsible for the unusually comprehensive organization of the biological departments of the Universityof Chicago and for their establishment later in a single group of buildings, thus rendering possible a degree of mutual support and co-operationamong the biological sciences hitherto unknown. Whitman thus carriedout in Chicago as far as possible the same form of organization that heplanned for Woods Hole, involving the representation of every branch ofbiological knowledge, so as to bring the combined forces to bear on thefundamental problems of biology. From this we may trace the inceptionof the strong position of our science in the University and its effectivedetermination of the direction of development of medicine in the University, now being given form and function."Professor Whitman's life was devoted entirely to scholarly ideals ofbiological research which he sought to realize with rare singleness of purpose. Not only did he devote himself to personal research with extraor-UNIVERSITY CHAPEL AND WHITMAN LABORATORY 199dinary enthusiasm and thoroughness, but he had an almost propheticcomprehension of the ways and means for furthering biological investigation, and he was able to secure the co-operation of his colleagues in hisenterprises by virtue of a personality that was both singularly winningand compelling. In 1887 he founded the Journal of Morphology for thepublication of research in zoology, and established it at once on so high aplane that it took rank with the foremost journals of zoological researchof the world. It has since served as model for newer research journals inAmerica. In 1888 he was called to be director of the Marine BiologicalLaboratory of Woods Hole, then newly established, and presided over itsfortunes for a period of twenty-one years, during which time it came tobe the leading center of biological research in America with a unique andinteresting form of organization. He was also prime mover in the foundation of the American Society of Zoologists, our principal national societyin this field, of which he was president for the first three years. Beforeanyone else in America, he also urged the need of the establishment of anexperimental station for the study of problems of evolution, heredity, andanimal behavior, a 'biological farm' as he preferred to call it, and although he was not successful himself in establishing such a station, othershave since brought it about. In the later years of his life Professor Whitman's personal researches became continually more engrossing, and hegradually relinquished his other undertakings into the hands of youngermen."Professor Whitman belonged to no narrow field of zoology. Hisscientific interests were broad and they were continually bringing himinto contact with workers in other fields. He had a very deep interest inall the fundamental problems of biology, and we thus find him formingclose scientific association with workers in the fields of botany, physiology, and psychology, as well as in his own field of zoology."In many respects the Marine Biological Laboratory constitutesProfessor Whitman's chief monument. Here his ideas had their fullestscope. His fundamental idea in the conduct of the laboratory was co-operation; and he succeeded in establishing what has well been called a'marine university,' in which the ownership and control, as well as theconduct of affairs, is vested in the body of active scientific investigators.The entire body of past and present investigators with few exceptions,constituting the corporation, is the court of last appeal; it elects theboard of trustees from its own membership, and the immediate control oflaboratory affairs is carried out by the board through their appointive200 THE UNIVERSITY RECORDagents, the directors and members of the staff. The result has been therealization in our own time and country of the ancient ideal of the university, a republic of scholars."Although Professor Whitman published relatively few papers henevertheless occupied a commanding position in science. Some of the reasons have already been indicated. His 'eye was single and his wholebody was therefore full of light'; his devotion to scholarship was neveropen to the slightest shadow of suspicion. He was continuously engagedin his personal research, which dealt in the last years of his life with problems of evolution and heredity in pigeons, and he had accumulated vaststores of data, which we hoped he would live to publish himself. But apparently he could never satisfy himself with reference to the fundamentalproblems on which his mind was fixed; the grand consummation of hiswork had not come, and he could not reconcile himself to the publicationof more or less fragmentary pieces of work. The end of his life came suddenly with more than fifteen years of work unfinished and unpublished.His published papers are models of condensed thought, written in a fine,polished, characteristic style. No less care was devoted to the form thanto the substance, and some of his papers certainly will endure as classicsof the biology of his time."It was, therefore, not only his research but also his work with hisjournal, his laboratory, and his students; his constant helpful association with other workers ; and the example of his austere and studious lifethat brought, him recognition. ¦ He never permitted himself to be distracted by the confusion of modern life, social or academic, nor divertedfrom his steadfast purpose by clamor for quick results."It is impossible for us yet to measure justly the value of such a lifeto our community; it conveys a much-needed lesson of consecration tothe ideals of scholarship; our appreciation of it will surely increase inproportion as time eliminates all the petty details that confuse the picture of a great man's life, and permits its essential nobility to shine forthundimmed."This man was our colleague for the first nineteen years of the existence of our University and until his own death. He bestowed on us hisimperishable ideals, and it is well that we should show our gratitude forthis greatest of gifts by an act and a monument of appreciation. Such, ina very modest way, this new laboratory is. May it serve to recall to usand our successors the memory of one of our great men !"When the Hull Biological Laboratories were erected in 1895, zoolo-UNIVERSITY CHAPEL AND WHITMAN LABORATORY 201gy was not as yet an experimental science in any very broad sense. Thezoological laboratory was accordingly constructed according to the bestideas of the time, it is true, but without much reference to work with living animals. This was soon realized by Professor Whitman himself,who felt obliged to conduct his experiments with pigeons at his ownhouse. The need of outdoor space and facilities for controlling environment in experiments with animals was felt soon also by other members ofthe Department. The University accordingly set aside some land on thesite where the hospital is now rising and erected greenhouses, which wereadapted as well as might be for the work we had in mind. This continuedfor some years, until the inadequacy of the arrangement and the need onthe part of the University for this land as part of the hospital site wererealized at about the same time. The situation thus furnished the stimulus for which we were waiting and which activated the present plan."Accordingly we have erected a small and simple laboratory for research work exclusively — it is one of the research institutes of the University really. The location is a quiet and secluded one in order not to attract too much attention to our live stock. About a quarter of the blockback of the laboratory is devoted to a greenhouse, animal houses, andruns for the animals."The Laboratory itself is merely a workshop without any provisionfor classrooms, for the work is all individual. The exterior, however, is avery pleasing composition by the University architects, Coolidge andHodgdon. The first floor is occupied by a chemical laboratory, researchrooms for genetics and other animal experimentation, operating rooms, ahospital room, and a machine shop in which apparatus can be made or repaired, and with a refrigerating machine from which brine is pumped torefrigerators and experimental rooms in other parts of the building. Thesecond floor is devoted largely to experimental work with lower animals ;for the most part to experiments in which control of the environment isthe important factor. Downstairs we are concerned largely with heredityand with innate characteristics of the organism; upstairs with environment. On the stairways perhaps we can debate their relative importance,but at any rate they are under one roof where they properly belong. I donot know whether Professor Jennings was acquainted with this situationwhen he announced as the subject for his address this evening in MandelHall 'Interrelations of Heredity and Environment.' I do not need to explain or defend experimentation in biology this afternoon, for that is thefunction and set purpose of our honored guest, Professor Jennings.202 THE UNIVERSITY RECORD"We are keeping open house this afternoon at this new extension ofthe Hull Zoological Laboratory on the corner of Ingleside Avenue andFifty-seventh Street (opposite the coal pile), and we shall be very happyto welcome any of you as visitors after four o'clock and show you whatwe can."At the services in connection with the laying of the cornerstone forthe new Chapel, Professor Tufts said:"We lay today the cornerstone of the University Chapel. In accordwith the desire of the founder, its tower and vault will rise as the 'centraland dominant feature of the University group.' It is to symbolize theplace of the 'spirit of religion.' It is to stand for the feeling that inspiresall its departments. It is to tell in its own language of line and arch thatall the work of the University 'is directed to the highest ends.'"Let us be clear that it is the spirit and religious feeling that we are tofoster; we do not commit ourselves to any formulations through whichmen in past ages have attempted to symbolize this spirit and feeling. Thesymbols are not the spirit. The spirit has its deepest root in a certaindivine discontent. Man is, on the one hand, limited; he is a very tinypart of the world he sees ; his powers are puny ; his glimpses of meaningsare fragmentary ; he encounters pain and death. Yet, just as truly he refuses to recognize or accept limits to his enterprise of knowledge, his control of nature, his achievement of good. He seeks somehow, if not toknow, at least to feel life and the universe in its wholeness. He seekscompanionship for his spirit."This is to be a chapel for the young. Its religion we may hope willemphasize open-mindedness to truth. It will be infused by the same experimental spirit which animates the best of a university in every field.But it will be sensitive to meanings and values which are not alwayscapable of scientific formulation."The religion of a chapel for the young should present great problemsand high tasks. We who saw the young college men and women of 19 17cannot listen patiently to doubts of skeptics or aspersions of cynics. Theyoung of today are as ready to be loyal to a great cause as they who followed St. Bernard to Clairvaux. 'Show us,' they say, 'the reality of thevalues, the genuine claims of the cause which you offer.'"The religion of a university chapel may unite through worship allthe pervasive influences of art to bring in fuller measure enhancementand peace. Perhaps our students need nothing so much as the deeper andUNIVERSITY CHAPEL AND WHITMAN LABORATORY 203ordered rhythms, the rising vaults, the poet's imagery, the conflicts andstresses resolved, and all the influences transmitted through the arts.These at once stir and satisfy the divine discontent; they open the way tothe experience of God."The contents of the cornerstone box were listed as follows by Mr. J.Spencer Dickerson, Secretary of the Board of Trustees:Copy of letter of Mr. John D.

Lovett,Acting Head of the Department of English of the University of Chicago.FARM WIFEImpotent as a tired wind in brown grassOr leaf on a slow stream,She sits beside the fireFinding no dreamFor earth or any lover.She has forgotten now, or only half remembers,How children came each year with planting grain(Warm lips upon her breast)And you might never know by looking on her faceHow once she loved the wild lakeAnd clover sweet with rain.INSIGNIANow on clear nights,Sharp nights in fall,One may find a loverIn any lane at all.All days are gray days,And being only twenty,Of gray sky and gray lakeI have more than plenty.And since sobrietyBrings only grief,Lover for my sake,Wear a red leaf.204VILLAGE POEMS 205THE OLD MANThey say that years ago he had a son,A wayward boy, that's all the neighbors know.And now he walks disconsolate, as oneWho fails to reap, being discreet to sow.He wanders slowly up and down the road,And with his cane he prods the yielding earth,Regards judiciously a trivial toadOr searches arrowheads against a dearth.For twenty fruitless years, and never fail,He's wandered half a mile to town, and whenEach time they say, "There isn't any mail,"He bows his head and wanders back again.LAST YEARElm leaves have fallen on a village street,And village folk, too indolently wise,Knowing their cellars stocked with corn and meat,Shut dull complacent eyes.But when we were in love a year agoWe found a sleepy village could not holdLove offered bit by bit the summer throughLike dusky honey-gold.Out of the cold air comes the sound of wings,All day the geese fly south in soft, gray wedges,The air is white and no bird singsWhere sumac reddens in the hedges.Old half-forgotten love soothes restless heartsBetter than any newer, sharper thing.New loves and new enchantments bringUnmellowed words that will not fill the parts.This lane is where we'd meet, and here we kissed,And underneath that oak a pile of leavesConjured up love, and sleep, and a dream that weavesBright webwork for the blest.206 THE UNIVERSITY RECORDAnd when the moon came burning through the birchesLighting the autumn world with yellow fireThere was no coolness even in the white frostTo keep us from desire.We walked home through the brown-white fieldsIn sweet, cold air.You held close to me all the wayA red leaf in your hair.I never thought that we might growSo indolently wiseThat leaves might fall like lazy snowUnheeded by our dull, complacent eyes.BLACK LOCUSTWhy does the night-wind in the locust treesConjure your face before me in the dark?Remembrance is accredited the lark,And to the moonlight patterned on the seas,Never my vagrant thoughts are roused by these,Only the night-wind in the locust treesConjures your face before me in the dark.SPRING AT THE NORTH LIGHT ¦White gulls wheel,Swerve and dive together ;Sharp wings of tealCut the rainy weather.Less than a year agoWe watched the spring come over,Warm from the mainland,To quicken island clover.How may the spring comeIn absence of your facePunctual, pitiless,With all its former grace?VILLAGE POEMSJust as the other yearWe watched all this together,Sleek gulls wheelsAnd tealCut the rainy weather.ISCARIOTMoonlight was the silverAnd you were all my Christ,But you found the cross and the gardenIn the transience of my breast.What shall I buy with my thirty coins?Wine at the Inn?Or shall I spend a shining pieceTo shrive me of my sin?ELEMENTBeneath your momentary maskThe wind lies drowsy on the sea;No sound of waves along the sandGives access to the mystery.The waters of my life run swiftIn curves that follow either shore;Above the rushing silvery swirlThe gray gulls cry and soar.Oh we may meet, with passion mergeAnd lash the cliffs in autumn weather,Or fall like rain in some deep poolAnd lie down quietly together.FINDING NO UNCHARTED SHORESThe earth cools slowly,And the rainWashes the mountainsTo the sea,The grayMonotony of plainIs lost in weary symmetry.208 THE UNIVERSITY RECORDThe earth is old and passionless,All that it knew it has forgot;But once the winds that blewWere hot and sweet,This frozen landWas deep in grass.Day follows night,And nightLags after day.It is so long to wait for nightAnd you.I rise to stir the fire,We kiss,Out of the oldWe find the new, the new.FIRST SNOWNow in late afternoonThe snow falls on the townObliterating sound and thought of time.Through soft, white air a muffled chimeSeems not a bell at all.Gray houses and gray streets are white again.I feel the snow beneath my feetLike down of white ducks on a northern river;The brown grass may no longer shiverUnder such a cover.Tomorrow sparrows on a vacant lotWill perch on tall brown weedsEat seeds and be content.Nothing resists the miracle of snow,The hand upon the bough ;The world sleeps;But snow will never hush my hungry heartNor still the lakeThat surges powerful and slow.VILLAGE POEMSRESURRECTIONI will make sure before I leave in silenceThat, though I be denied for many sins,Yet will I find in some degree the fulnessThat those who dine at his right handWithin the snowy walls must find.And that I may, I plant an oak-tree hereA little way from all my promised rest,And now a scant five years, or half a score,Will put my sly evasion to the test.Down through the soil confederate roots will creepAnd search through rust and crevices to find,And to enmesh, the prisoned mindThat would escape the vestibule of death;And then will come ascension in the leaves,And then redemption in the wind.I sorrow not at having sinnedWhen I regard this tree.AWARD OF FELLOWSHIPS, 1926-27John Lyman Abbott
