JOAQUIM NABUCOBRAZILIAN AMBASSA];OR TO THE UNITED STATESConvocation Orator, August 28, 1908The University of ChicagoMagazineVOLUME I OCTOBER, 1908 NUMBER ITHE APPROACH OF THE TWO AMERICAS 1By JOAQUIM NABUCO, LL.D., LITT.D.Brazilian Ambassador to the United StatesBefore beginning my address I wish to' be allowed to transportyour minds for a moment to a small German place where the lastrest has been given today, at this same hour, to the German Ambas­sador, Baron Speck von Sternburg. He could be selected as thetype of the successful diplomat, whose task is to create, betweenthe nation to which he is accredited and his own, strong tiesof friendship and confidence. No man in his position could aspireto a more honorable epitaph than the despatches of the GermanEmperor and President Roosevelt mourning the greatness of hisloss both to Germany and to the United States.As to the man himself, no example of moral courage and of highpurpose in life was ever finer than his undisturbed attitude in frontof death advancing on him at painful strides. His only way ofmeeting its growing shadow was to increase intensely the noble useof his life. As a colleague, having to speak on the day of hisfuneral before an American university of which he had the honorof being an alumnus, I felt I ought first to express this sentimentof regret and admiration.I am proud to address this University, worthy of a city which,for its sudden gigantic growth, is the wonder of the world "andwhich is the foremost of all the greater experiment stations ofAmericanization. In Chicago, better than anywhere else, one canfollow the short process by which any foreign plant is made to bearin one or two seasons of acclimation genuine American fruit. Here1 Delivered on the occasion of the Sixty-eighth Convocation of the Uni­versity, held in the Leon Mandel Assembly Hall, August 28, 1908.I2 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEwe are at one of the gates of the world, through which enter newsocial conceptions, new forms of being; at one of the sources ofmodern civilization. The tribute to science, from which this Uni­versity sprung, is the most beneficent tribute which wealth couldever pay to' mankind. To increase the rate at which science growsis without comparison the greatest service that could be rendered tothe human race. Religion will be powerless to' bring to earth thekingdom of God without the help of science at a state of advance­ment of which we cannot yet even have an idea. By increasing thenumber of men able to' use the delicate tools of science, to' understandits many languages, and to acquire its higher senses, the universitieswork faster than any other agency for the advanced state of knowl­edge, through which the condition of man will some day be entirelytransformed.Words fail me to' express my appreciation of the call I receivedto speak before you. I am bound to' take the honor as a distin­guished personal obligation, but allow me to see in it chiefly a signof your sympathy with the work of drawing the two Americas closetogether. Much as the future generations will wonder at the pro­gress of our time they will wonder still more that the two great sec­tions of our continent did remain so late in history almost unknownto each other. One reason of their isolation was that many spiritsin Latin America were for a long time afraid of a too close contactwith YQU, owing to the great difference of power between this andevery other American nation. On its side the United States, beinga world by itself, and a world growing faster each day, has alwaysopposed to any such movements the strongest of all possible resist­ances, that of indifference. Fortunately a new cry begins alreadyto resound everywhere. Suspicion is being replaced by confidence,and, if the universities take in hand the policy of Secretary Root,indifference, in its turn, will give way to the feeling of continentalkinship.In Brazil, I must say, the leading statesmen were never afraidof associating with this country. As soon as the message of Presi­dent Monroe, of December, 1823, was received in Rio de Janeiro,the Brazilian gO'vernment proposed to the United States an offensiveand defensive alliance on the basis of that message, alleging thatsacrifices such as those implied in it for the benefit of Latin Americashould not be accepted gratuitously. The proposal was delayed inTHE APPROACH OF THE TWO AMERICAS 3transmission and there was another delay in the acknowledgment.Henry Clay, who in the meanwhile had been made Secretary ofState, answered at last that the American government did not foreseeany danger that would justify an alliance. But from the spirit ofthat offer we never had cause to deviate, and, as no disappointmentever came to us, we never expected any would come to others fromadopting the course we had followed since our independence.It was once said that the association of any Latin country with youreminded one of the company in Lafontaine's fable of the earthen­ware with the iron pot. I do not think the comparison just to anyof the Latin republics. With an unbreakable cohesion none hasanything to fear for its nationality. What is essential for a nationis to crystallize; to bring all its parts to a same symmetrical formof its own, the design of a common national sentiment. Once thatdone, and I think such is the case with all Latin America, it wouldnever break like earthenware. You with your high civilization cando no wrong to any nation. Intimate contact with you will, there­fore, under whatever conditions, bring only good and progress tothe other party.The only certain effect I can see of a permanent and intimateintercourse of Latin America with you is that it would be slowlyAmericanised ; that is, that it would be; in different measures, pene­trated with your optimism, your self-reliance, and your energy. Itwould be a treatment by electricity. I do not mean that we wouldever attain your speed. Nor do we wish it. You have broken therecord of human activity without breaking the rhythm of life, Youhave made a new rhythm for yourselves. We could never do that.For the Latin races [estina lente is the rule of health and stability.And let me say it is good for mankind that all its races do not go atthe same step, that they do not all run. The reign of science has notyet begun, and only in the age of science mankind might attain touniformity without beginning at once to decay. Dignity of life,culture, happiness, freedom, may be enjoyed by nations movingslowly, provided they move steadily forward.Take one common point in our destiny. We must all be immi­gration countries. But in order to be able to oppose to whateverforeign immigration a national spirit capable of turning it quicklyinto patriotic citizenship, as you do, the strength of the Latin organ­ism need everywhere be increased with a much greater vitality.4 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEImmigration countries must have the necessary strength to assimilateall that they absorb. For that a strong patriotism does not suffioe.Patriotism is intense in almost every nation and in none perhapsmore so than in the tribes of the wilderness. The Romans were notmore patriotic than the Lusitanians. It is not patriotism that con­quers immigration. Through our intercourse with you we wouldlearn what it is that conquers it. You owe your unparalleledsuccess, as an immigration country, first of all to your politicalspirit. Without it you would have, owing to your soil and yourrace, no end of foreign guests; you would not have the endlessnumber of citizens that they soon become here. The Americanpolitical spirit is a combination of the spirit of individual lib­erty with the spirit of equality. Liberty alone would not convertthe foreign immigrant into a new citizen; we do not hear of foreign­ers taking the nationality of the free European countries to' whichthey emigrate. Equality is a more powerful agent. The Europeanimmigrant rises socially in America, and that is what makes himwish to be an American. But if your progress did not offer himsomething also of which to be proud as a citizen, he would not takeso generally a new nationality. It is the progress of your country,the place it has made for itself in the world, that helps with nationalpride the spirit of liberty and equality in winning over to you themillion of immigrants who try life in America. What completesthe conversion is the freedom enjoyed here from barrack life, theEuropean communities being vast military camps and every citizena bound soldier. Intercourse with you would teach the Americancountries the secret of winning over the immigrants that come tothem and of attracting them in larger numbers. That would be byfar the most useful teaching they could receive, because when theyknew and succeeded in transforming into true citizens their immi­grants, the great national problem would be solved for each of them.First, to realize that they must all be immigration countries; sec­ondly, to create the new habitat for the immigrant, they need studyimmigration in your laboratory. Immigration, divided from thenational life and aspirations, is still useful, because labor alwayshelps; but it does not increase the power of the native race itself;it does not raise its inner level; it does not cause its natural growth.Immigration cannot remain as a foreign body in a nation's organismwithout danger to it.THE APPROACH OF THE TWO AMERICAS 5I would not end if I attempted to' mention all the good that LatinAmerica would derive from a close intercourse with the UnitedStates. What you perhaps would prefer to hear is what good wouldyou derive from that intercourse, I will tell you frankly that thatgood would be, at first, only the good that comes from makingfriends and helping them in the true road of life; but I believe thereis no more substantial good than that for a nation which is the leaderof our continent.The question is to know if you have made up your mind thatthis continent should be for each of its nations a prolongation of hernative soil; that some kind of tie should make of it a single moralunit in history. Was the Monroe Doctrine inspired to you only bythe fear of seeing Europe extend its parallel spheres of influenceover America, as it has later on done over Africa, and as it almostsucceeded in doing over Asia; endangering in that way your solitaryposition? Or were you also moved by the intuition that this is anew world, born with a common destiny? I strongly believe thatthe Monroe Doctrine was inspired even more by this American in­stinct, taking the word American in the sense of continental, than byany fear of danger to yourselves. By all means in that doctrine wasoutlined a whole foreign policy, from which this country has neverswerved, from Monroe to Cleveland and to Roosevelt, from Clayto Blaine and to Root. This constancy, this continuity, is the bestproof that your American policy obeys a deep continental instinctand is not only a measure of national precaution and self-defense.That policy has kept you away from the maze of European di­plomacy, into which without the Monroe Doctrine you wouldprobably have been induced to enter.Diplomacy is indeed becoming each day a greater mystery. Theold statesmen are not sure of their course. Each new step seems aleap in the dark. They go from surprise to surprise, from shockto shock. Experience is unavailable, and in fact might even bedangerous. Fortunately diplomatic bills, some of them war bills,have of late a tendency to be drawn at such long terms that they donot seem likely to be paid by the governments which accept them.Not only the chess board at which Bismarck and Napoleon III,after Metternich and Talleyrand, used to play is no longer the same,but new figures have been added to the game, with the circumstancethat in this new diplomatic chess, while leach piece has, as in the old6 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEone, a movement of its own, many can be moved at the sametime.One understands very well the traditional reluctance of theUnited States to enter into such parties. The allies of today are therivals of a few years ago, and the system of alliances must ever bea revolving one. But there is a foreign policy that is passing anddangerous and another that is permanent and safe. The passingforeign policy is any by which a nation secures help thinking ofherself only, that is, by which she uses another nation as her instru­ment; the permanent foreign policy is that by which a nation triesto accomplish with another a common destiny. The difference be­tween the permanent and the temporary foreign policy is that thelatter must take the form of a written alliance, of a formal engage­ment, with a fixed term of duration. Alliances are transitory, un­elastic, and full of dangers, while the spontaneous concurrence inthe same lines of action is the natural development of each nation'sdestiny. Alliance supposes war; free co-operation supposes peaceand mutual 'help through sympathy and good-will. You keep awayfrom the entangling alliances which the Father of your Countrydeprecated, and yet a concentration of the American republics withthe' idea that they all form, under different flags, a single politicalsystem is already a moral alliance.This idea has made much progress in the �ast four years, and Itrust it will not lack in this country the enthusiasm it needs to grow.Secretary Root's visit to Latin America will indeed remain a histor­icallandmark in the relations of our continent, like Monroe's messageof 1823, and Blaine's initiative of the Pan-American movement. AsI mention Mr. Blaine I cannot help remembering that the Brazilianminister of his time, Senhor Salvador de Mendonca, worked heartilywith him with the same faith in his creative power as I have in thatof Mr.' Root. I can call them both creators, because, if Blainemolded the group of the United American nations, it was Root whoput in it life and movement.The Pan-American conferences, besides the work they achievewith their periodical meetings, do much good simply by being apermanent institution. In this way they act even during their inter­vals of four years. Take the movement which led to the experimentnow being tried in Central America, of an international court, whichis really an essay of organized peace in a region so much tried byTHE APPROACH OF THE TWO AMERICAS 7political shocks. You can see in it the development of the interestwhich the United States has frankly avowed of seeing order andpeace permanently established beforehand in the whole zone aroundthe future Panama Canal; but no doubt the co-operation of theUnited States, and Mexico, with the Central American republics wasa. development also of the mutual confidence created through ourcontinent by the Pan-American conferences, chiefly by the last oneat Rio de Janeiro. It would be indeed a pity if those proud andbrave little nations, whose citizenship is open to' each other in a spiritunknown among any other countries of the world, did not succeedin reducing politics to a contest under strict rules. to be maintainedby their own appointed umpires. I hail the Carthago Court as oneof the most deserving of modern political undertakings. Noonewho feels the fascination of the old Greece will fail in sympathywith those brave small communities, strongly imbued with thenational spirit, in their effort to create a Peace Amphictyony in thetract of land dividing the two oceans and uniting the two Americas.Let us hope that the American and Mexican diplomacy will be whollysuccessful in helping to maintain the barrier built by Central Amer­ica all along the old precipice. In doing that they will be doinggood Pan-American work and serving the spirit of the Pan­American conferences.But those conferences are not sufficient to carry out the ideawhich inspired their creation. No doubt the governments speak inthem for the nations and the views they present are national views,which would have the support of all the parties; but congresses ofofficial delegates do not touch at the delicate points, which there iseverywhere a tendency to hide from public view. The Pan-Ameri­can conferences are diplomatic assemblies; the peoples do not mixin them to tell each 'other their wrongs, to appeal to each other'ssympathy; the question of the internal progress of any communityis not one in which diplomacy could openly help. So by the side ofour conferences there is place for a larger factor, to which Mr.Root has once alluded, for a Pan-American public opinion.In our days we saw the parliamentary principle more or lessrecognized by the old absolute monarchies; by Russia, Japan, Persia,and now by Turkey. No one would wonder if China joined them.That is the best evidence of the leveling force of the world's opinion.This opinion of the world no doubt exercises already a considerable8 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEinfluence upon all the American countries. One cannot say that anyAmerican republic has been impervious to it. It would be absurd toimagine any nation of our continent insensible and closed to aninfluence which has affected and transformed, politically, Buddhistand Mahometan societies. Revolution has become much rarer inLatin America. In regions where it used to be frequent it has notbeen heard of for nearly half a century; the area where revolutioncontinues active at long intervals has become much reduced; buteven where revolutions occur frequently the old general revolution­ary state of anarchy has ceased to exist, order is always shortlyrestored. Revolution seems to' obey the man to whom the power ofkeeping order has passed. It is a terrifying storm, but no longera sweeping hurricane. But together with that distant and dispersedopinion of the world, which has already done much, we need acommon American opinion, magnified by concentration and bydirect reflection from nation to nation.Only the common opinion of our continent can, for instance,render obsolete the right of asylum. The Positivist saying is as trueas it is deep: "One only destroys what one replaces." You cannotdestroy the right of asylum, if you do not put in its place some otherthing that will fulfil better the function which called it forth. I That"right" was only replaced in the world by the progress of justice.If law and justice were to become intermittent, the right of asylumwould again reappear everywhere. This is one of the most ancientand the noblest traditions of mankind. You could not suppress it bykilling pity and generosity; they cannot be killed; you can only sup­press it by increasing the protections of the law and the sense ofjustice.In the same manner our common American opinion will polishto the greatest perfection the political institutions of all the Ameri­can states. But that general opinion is still in formation, and itsinitial or preparatory phase is bound to be continental 'publicity;publicity, not only absolutely unfettered, but dispassionate, enlight­ened, and true, beginning with inviolate freedom of the press.When that opinion will be fully grown, the membership of the unionof the American nations will mean immunity for each of them, 'notonly from foreign conquest, but also from arbitrary rule and .sus­pension of public and individual liberty.In the formation of that opinion common to all America a largeTHE APPROACH OF THE TWO AMERICAS 9part is reserved to the universities of the continent, to its educators,and none of our countries could be compared to yours for the extentand the multiplication of your educational works. NO' doubt theprincipal agency of that opinion will be the book and the pres&,�Allow me to express the hope that in all our countries the writerswill think of the sensibility of the foreign nations. Sympathy isalways necessary to do good. First of all one should educate himselfto tolerate diversity in the human race. The world would be verynear its end, if all the countries spoke the same language, and unlessthey speak for generations the same language they cannot have thesame mind. Let all feel sure that God must have had some goodreason for creating different human races, instead of only one. Byaccustoming themselves to this idea the foreign critic will have moreforbearance, more patience, will make greater effort to understand,and with that his interest will grow, his mental range will becomemore enlarged, and he will then be able to improve, instead of onlyexasperating, the condition with which he finds fault. By all meansa common American opinion will one day rule our continent inaccordance with the general opinion of the world, and our effortmust be to see that it will begin its sway with the present generation.Understanding that the reason for my being here was your wishto show interest in the new Pan-American policy, I have made ofthat policy the theme of my address. I hope I was not wrong inthe belief that the subject was in harmony with the spirit of thepresent occasion. This ceremony could be compared to the launch­ing of new crafts on the sea of American citizenship. At the start­ing of their career, I wished to express to them my earnest hopethat together with the world-wide transformations to be broughtabout in their time, and which we cannot even imagine, they willsee all the states of the two Americas knowing, loving, and enter­taining each other as members of one same family among thenations.THE PRESIDENT'S QUARTERLY STATEMENT ON THECONDITION OF THE UNIVERSITY 1On March 22, 1904, the University conferred the degree ofDoctor of Laws on Baron Speck von Sternburg, Imperial GermanAmbassador to the United States. This was in recognition of bril­liant diplomatic service, not for the benefit of his own country alone,but especially in the direction of a closer understanding between theGerman Empire and the United States of America. Toward thisworthy end the ambassador was enabled to render invaluable service.He has passed away and today, in his German horne, his body isconsigned to earth. His memory will long be green in this country.In his honor all will rise.INTERCHANGE OF PROFESSORS WITH GERMANYDuring the past year the Germanistic Society of Chicago hasbeen organized, of which organization the President of the Univer­sity has the honor to be president. The society consists in equalnumbers of those of German birth and those of American birth.The purpose is to do what lies in its power toward bringing to passa better understanding between the two nations. During the lastwinter the society maintained in Chicago a series of lectures byGermans or by Americans familiar with German conditions. Amongthe latter were Professors A. W. Small and C. R. Henderson of theUniversity faculty. This course was eminently successful. For thecoming year a similar course is planned. A further undertakingof the society is more directly connected with the University. TheBoard of Trustees will be asked at its next meeting to extend aformal invitation to Professor Dr. Ernst Daenell, of the Universityof Kie1, to lecture in the University of Chicago during the autumnquarter on subjects connected with the colonial expansion of Europe;and at the same time to authorize Professor John M. Manly, head ofthe Department of English in the University, to' accept the invitationof the Prussian government to lecture during the winter quarter inthe University of Gottingen. In neither case is it the thought thatthe lectures given shall be popular in character. Professor Manly1 Presented on the occasion of the Sixty-eighth Convocation of the Univer.,sity, held in the Leon Mandel Assembly Hall, August 28, 1908.10THE PRESIDENT'S QUARTERLY STATEMENT IIwill carry to Gottingen simply some results of American scholarshipin the field of English literature, intended to. be presented by ascholar and for the use of scholars. In like manner the lectures ofProfessor Daenell will be for the benefit of research students in theUniversity of Chicago. It is felt that an interchange of this kindcannot fail to be helpful, in being a real contribution in each countryto its higher university work, and at the same time as affording ameans of a better understanding among scholars. The generosityof those connected with the Germanistic Society has enabled thisplan to. be carried out. In this connection I wish to express specialgratitude to the Imperial German Consul, Dr. Walther Wever,whose unflagging zeal and warm interest have made possible manythings tending to. the friendly relations between Germany and theUnited States.EDUCATION IN THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDSDuring the spring just past two members of the Universityfaculty, Professor MacClintock of the Department of English Liter­ature and Associate Professor Starr of the Department of Anthro­pology, were granted a leave of absence by the Board of Trustees ofthe University to aid in the development of a vacation school forteachers in the Philippine Islands. The assembly was held at thesummer capital of the Islands, Baguio, from April 20 to May 16last. There were present 246 teachers and 34 out of the 36 districtsuperintendents. There were also present, besides the two fromthe University of Chicago, Professor Roberts of the Universityof California, and Professor Burks (Ph.B., University of Chicago,1893) of the Albany (N. Y.) Teachers College. Each of theinstructors gave two lectures daily throughout the period of theassembly, besides three or four le�tures general in character beforethe entire assembly. The work was an undoubted success, and wasan inspiration to the body of self-denying American men and womenwho in those distant islands are doing so much toward the improve­ment of these very interesting wards of our nation. It is felt that theUniversity, in granting this aid, has been doing its service as anAmerican university toward a great undertaking for the advanceof civilization for which our country has made itself responsible.The thanks of the University are due to Professor MacClintock andAssociate Professor Starr.12 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINETHE CONSULAR SERVICEIn view of the fact that the consular service has been placed,substantially, under the merit system, the University of Chicago nowoffers courses in preparation for consular and foreign commercialservice. These courses deal with the subjects of political economy,commercial geography, political science, statistics, modern history,and modern languages. Two years' preparation in the College ofCommerce and Administration is required for admission to thiswork, and three years' training (27 majors) in the course proper.Throughout the entire course the fundamental recommendations ofthe United States government have been followed. It is believed thatthe rapidly increasing foreign trade of the United States offers awide opportunity to men with training similar to that required ofconsuls and that Chicago's position as a growing manufacturing andexport center makes this city a peculiarly appropriate place for thepractical training of "ambassadors of commerce." It may be addedthat at the last examination in Washington for the consular servicea student of the University of Chicago, Mr. Samuel MacClintock,.was first among those who succeeded.THE SUMMER QUARTERThe quarter which closes today is on the whole the most success­ful summer quarter in the history of the University. The attendanceshows a record of 2,991 different students. The first term therewere recorded 2,593; the second term 1,957. An interesting featureis the fact that there were present throughout the entire quarter1,561. These figures show a large gain over anything heretoforeknown, and indicate the increasing value of this summer work. Ofcourse all here understand that the University maintains no summerschool, but that the summer quarter is simply a quarter of regularUniversity work, with instruction on the same basis as in the otherquarters. It has made possible advanced work for many hundredsof students, and many have made degrees who otherwise wouldhave had no opportunity to that end. The number of degrees giventoday includes: 18 Doctors of Philosophy; 7 Masters of Science;II Masters of Philosophy; 12 Masters of Arts; 2 Doctors of Law;I Bachelor of Laws; I Doctor of Philosophy in the Divinity School;2 Masters of Arts in the Divinity School; 2 Bachelors of Divinity;26 Bachelors of Science; 41 Bachelors of Philosophy; 17 BachelorsATTENDANCE, SUMMER QUARTER, 1908TotalFirst Term Second Term First Term Only Second Term Both Terms Total Different Differen1Only Students 1908 Students1907M W T M W T M W T M W T M W T M W T1..

In his unswerving obedience to. the cate­gorical imperative he was a true son of Prussia.He was born February 6, 1859, in Berlin and received a public­school education and gymnasial training 'in his native city. Heentered the University of Berlin in 1877 and there studied Germanicand Romance philology under Miillenhoff, Scherer, Geiger, Zupitza,Gaspary, and Tobler. These studies were interrupted by a year ofmilitary service during which he became a member of the KaiserFranz Regiment, He then spent the year 1880-81 in England,where, besides studying English, he taught German at the CastleSchool of Taunton. In 1882 he resumed his university studies inBerlin, but in 1884 they were again interrupted for the purposeof self-support by means of private teaching. In 1887 he came toAmerica and was called from Chicago to a position as teacher ofFrench and Latin in the high school of Princeton, Ill. To, perfecthis practical grasp of spoken French he spent the year 1888�89 inParis studying at the Sorbonne and at the College de France,whence he returned in the following year and began a period' ofservice as teacher of French and Latin in the Chicago. high schools,lasting from 1889 until 1895. When in 1892 the University ofChicago opened its doors to the public, he matriculated as graduatestudent of Germanic and Romance philology, completing gradually,in connection with his duties as teacher, the work required for thedoctorate, which he received in 1897. In 1895 he was appointedto. an associateship in Germanics and began thus a period of serviceto this University that lasted until his death, September 4, 1908.Mr. Kern's dissertation for the doctorate upon Das starke Verbbei Grimmelshausen won him the favorable notice of German schol­ars like von Bahder, of Leipzig, and enlisted his interest in mor­phological problems of Early New High German, at the solutionof which he was working at the time of his death. But, while hewas scholarly in his tastes and capable of excellent work as anIS16 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEinvestigator, he was by nature and experience in England and thiscountry pre-eminently fitted for the work of teaching. He com ...bined a strong love of orderliness and severity of discipline with agenial kindliness of heart that won him the friendship and esteemof his students. Even those whose lame excuses for poor workaroused his righteous indignation recognized and respected his highideals, his love of simple justice, and his constant readiness to incon­venience himself for the sake of his students. His departmentalexaminership, beginning in 1897, brought him into peculiarly close,personal relations with a large portion of our undergraduate bodyof students. In this capacity he utilized the knowledge of Americanstudents, schools, and educational methods which his early second­ary school experience had brought him. He was tireless in hisefforts to render his work effective in its relation to the University,to the preparatory schools, and to the teachers of German through­out the Middle West. His long years of unselfish devotion to theexacting tasks of this important but unsalaried position are a strik­ing illustration of his conscientious performance of each and everyduty of his position and entitle him to. the grateful remembrance ofour Department and of the University.In harmony with this prevailing ideal of conduct was his carefor the welfare of others and his indifference to the prospects of hisown health or life. It was only with great difficulty that he couldbe persuaded that a duty to' himself might transcend in importancehis duty to his work. The courage with which he bore his suffer­ings and the uncomplaining serenity of spirit with which he metthe inevitable outcome of his illness are a lesson and an inspirationfor those of us who remain for a season to continue his work.THE STANDARD OF UNDERGRADUATE SCHOLARSHIPBy GEORGE EDGAR VINCENT, PH.D., '96Dean of the Faculties of Arts, Literature, and ScienceWith the beginning of the summer quarter of this year, a newsystem of grading students' work was put into effect at the Uni­versity of Chicago. Rumors as to the meaning and probable effectsof this innovation have spread among undergraduates some of whomare alarmed at the prospect of more exacting requirements. Gradu­ates, on the other hand, might be expected to exult like speculatorsover a rise in securities bought in a low market. A brief statementas to the origin, nature, and anticipated results of this new legisla­tion will enlighten if not reassure the first group, and possiblydisappoint the hopes of the second.In recent years, there has been -a growing belief, especially inthe East, that college education is taken less seriously than it shouldbe by many undergraduates. Mr. Charles Francis Adams hasassailed the elective system; certain practical business men like Mr.Crane, have revived the charge that a college education is not anaid to success in industry and commerce; paternal alumni havecontrasted with their own diligence in college the half-hearted pur­suits of their sons; charges of snobbishness and luxury have beenmade in newspapers and magazines; college stories turn uponclever ways of deceiving instructors and of shirking work; collegeposters when they do not glorify athletic prowess make much ofpipes, and bull-dogs and mid-night card games; college plays onthe public stage hold up to ridicule the fossilized professor and thestudent "grind;" college clothes 'as graphically paraded by the ready­made houses are "smart" and "swagger" but would hardly appealto a gentleman and a scholar of an earlier type.Yet to conclude from all this that American college students asa whole are growing negligent of their work would be to acceptintangible and often misleading evidence. More definite data forforming a judgment are to be found in the 'report of a committeeappointed in 1902 by the Harvard faculty to inquire into the condi­tions and standards of undergraduate study; in Dean West's accountof the preceptorial system at Princeton; and in a recent volume by1718 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEa New York lawyer+ who takes our modern institutions severely totask for their failure to give the individual training afforded by theearlier type of small college. With characteristic thoroughness andcandor, the Harvard report summarizes the replies of 245 membersof the faculty and of I,757 students to questions concerning the con­ducting of courses, their value, the number of hours required forpreparation outside the classroom, suggestions for improvement, etc.The committee's recommendations recognize the need of reformswhich shall raise the standard both as to amount and character ofundergraduate work at Harvard. Mr. Birdseye's charges wouldmake more impression on the academic mind if he did not press soinsistently the analogy between a college and a factory. Nor willeveryone agree that the fraternity is the only substitute for thepersonal oversight once given by the faculties of the small colleges.Nevertheless Mr. Birdseye says many true and searching thingsabout college life-things which cannot be dismissed in cavalierfashion.The chief causes which are alleged in the Harvard report, byMr. Birdseye or by other reputable critics· to be responsible for aperceptible lowering of the standard of student work are: lessdefinite and disciplinary instruction in the elementary and secondaryschools; an elective system permitting a haphazard, desultory, indi­vidual course; the presence of an idle rich class setting a standard ofostentation and luxury; the exaltation of competitive athletics andthe heroizing of successful athletes; the growth of fraternities withtheir time-consuming activities and social distinctions; the emphasison social life and the consequent prejudice against the diligent stu­dent who takes little part in the "valuable education outside the class­room;" the over-crowding of classes so that attention to individualstudents is difficult or impossible; the introduction of the lecturesystem for undergraduates accustomed to the drill of the recitationmethod; the putting of young, inexperienced, overworked, and ill­paid instructors in charge of freshmen and sophomore divisions; thecompetition between instructors in offering popular, largely elected,and too often "snap" or "soft" courses; the exaltation of research atthe expense of "mere teaching" and the consequent lowering ofteaching efficiency; the extension of the doctrine of freedom ofteaching to protect a careless or inefficient instructor of elementaryIBirdseye, Individual Training in Our Colleges. New York, I907.THE STANDARD OF UNDERGRADUATE $CHOLARSHIP 19courses from investigation; failure to make college work seem vitalto the student, a means to his personal ends, in marked contrast withthe success of the professional schools which hold up a definite goal,arouse interest, and enforce a higher standard of effort and accom­plishment. The mere enumeration of these charges raises manyquestions of fact and interpretation. That some if not all of theinfluences are present in all of our colleges is not to be denied.The West is prone to pride itself upon virtues which the Eas1is supposed to have lost: whole-hearted hospitality, democratic feel.ing, open-mindedness, for example. Thus it is often said complais­antly in the Middle West that while Harvard, Yale, and Princetonare rapidly becoming places of resort for rich men's sons, carelessof learning, Michigan, Chicago, and Wisconsin are crowded withdiligent seekers after truth and culture. It is true that the oldereastern institutions draw relatively many more of the rich andwell-to-do, but to assume that these youth lack all intellectual inter­ests is somewhat gratuitous. There is a contrast, probably in favorof the West, but a contrast which may easily be exaggerated. Atthe University of Chicago it has been recognized that several of theinfluences mentioned in the preceding paragraph have been at work.Instructors have complained of the size and quality of their classes;reports have shown a high percentage of failures and conditions;the deans have had many delinquents on their probation lists. Stu­dents, too, have had their grievances as to overcrowded sections,neglect by instructors, and difficulty in securing satisfactory direc­tion in their courses. In the spring of 1907 at the request of thefaculties of the Junior Colleges and of the united faculties, thePresident appointed a commission to consider and report uponmethods of raising the standard of undergraduate scholarship inthe colleges of the University. This .commission held frequentmeetings during the autumn and winter, and in the spring of thisyear submitted a report to the general faculty by which the recom­mendations were adopted.The commission based its report upon two principles: first, thatthe accumulation of merely pass credits should not lead to gradua­tion; and second, that the faculty must supervise, and, withinreasonable limits, control in the interest of undergraduates theelementary required courses. There is no magic in a markingsystem. It is merely the means by which a standard' of work finds20 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEexpression. The standard itself exists in the ideals and practicesof the instructing staff and in the public opinion of the student body.To suppose that because one institution makes 75 per cent. the pass­ing mark while another fixes the limit at 60 per cent. the formerhas solely by virtue of that fact a higher standard than' the latter isto be sadly deceived. It may mean merely that one has a narrowermargin within which to make a series of gradations between itsbarely passing standard and its ideal of highest excellence. Thecommission therefore in proposing a new marking system wasnot naive enough to imagine that a change of this kind would auto­matically bring about any real reform. The commission did believehowever, that another system would lend itself more easily to thehigher standard of exaction which was making itself apparent inthe attitude of instructors. The new system which retains the lettersA, B, C, D, E, and adds the letter F, substitutes a single letter forthe former double system of giving the term work and the examina­tion each its own letter. Absences from class under the new systemare taken into account by the instructor in fixing the one-letter gradeof the course as a whole. The important innovation, however,consists in assigning to a course not only a major or minor credit butalso in adding so-called honor points. This means that coursesconsidered in relation to graduation are to be judged both quantita­tively and qualitatively. Thirty-six majors and seventy-two honorpoints will henceforth be required for a Bachelor's degree. To themark, "A" six honor points are attached; to "B," four; to "C," two.The mark "D" has no honor points, "E" so far from having anyvalue calls for the withdrawal of one honor point from the totalrecord, and the mark "F," the deduction of two honor points. Thusin order to be graduated a student must not only secure thirty-sixmajors, but must also obtain an average of two honO'r points foreach major, that is, receive the average grade "C" which repre­sents a passing mark designed to be distinctly higher than that ofthe old system. .It is believed that the new plan has marked advantages over theold. A student may not, under the new conditions, accumulatemerely pass credits, but must maintain a certain average of excel­lence. If there are subjects which he finds peculiarly difficult, andin which it is impossible for him to secure high marks, he may bygood work in other subjects secure enough honor points to make upTHE STANDARD OF UNDERGRADUATE SCHOLARSHIP 2Iany deficiency. The commission based its report upon a study of theUniversity records with a view to forecasting the effect of the pro­posed changes. In June, 1906, 160 students received the Bachelor'sdegree. Of this number, eleven would certainly not have beengraduated under the new marking system, and several others mighthave failed of graduation. From this, it will be seen that the newplan is not so radical as from the outset to devastate the under­graduate ranks. In the case of the eleven, the new system wouldhave required them to remain in residence one or two quarterslonger and to maintain work of sufficiently high character to bringthe aggregate of honor points up to the required number of seventy­two. The commission's report goes into detail as to the adaptationof the new plan to various existing practices and regulations. Therequirements for honors and for Phi Beta Kappa are restated interms of the new system with a slight advance in the requirements.Students who enter with advanced standing will with certain neces­sary modifications be assigned honor points in the normal ratio oftwo for each major of work accepted. Many students will acquirehonor points greatly in excess of the number needed for graduation.The granting of assistance to students will, other things being equal,be based upon the number of honor points in their records. Thenew plan therefore will in a sense establish a waiting list for scholar­ships and student service appointments. The plan also affords abasis for the dismissing of students. In a given year, a student whopursues nine courses should, if he is advancing normally to gradua­tion, gain also at least eighteen honor points. A student who gainsless than ten honor points within the limits of three quarters will bedismissed unless there are extenuating circumstances which thefaculty feels able to take into account. A student who in his fourthyear falls below the minimum will not be dismissed but, in order tobe graduated will be required to remain for additional work.A marking system, as has been said, gets its value from thespirit by which it is employed. There are signs of new interestamong Chicago instructors, in the problems of undergraduate teach­ing. Several departments are organizing their work more co-oper­atively and effectively, Last spring an informal conference ofJunior College teachers was called, and plans are under way for aseries of such meetings during the present academic year. In thisand other ways much will be accomplished in arousing enthusiasm22 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEfor teaching, in furthering discussion of teaching methods and infostering a sense of comradeship among those who are devotingthemselves primarily to undergraduate instruction. Only as agenuine interest in this side of college work is aroused can theproper recognition of the teaching function, public esteem for thecollege teacher, and the academic promotion which is the tangibleevidence of such status be secured.The other important recommendation of the commission dealswith the supervision of undergraduate instruction. The membersof the commission realized that many of the problems involved can­not be reached by any system of faculty regulations, but they believedthat some plan of continuous study and oversight might accomplishmany of the results desired. A faculty committee on undergraduateinstruction is therefore to be created. It will be the duty of thiscommittee to submit to all instructors questions as to methods ofteaching. It will thus gather data as to how every undergraduatecourse in the University is conducted. This material will be put onfile where it will be accessible to all instructors. The committee willalso receive all complaints from students or instructors as to theconditions under which work is carried on and will make recom­mendations to the administrative authorities as to needed changes.The committee will make suggestions not only to the administrationbut to individual instructors as well. The success of the committee'swork will depend upon the wisdom and tact as well as the fidelitywith which it performs its important but rather delicate task. Anyreal invasion of freedom of teaching cannot be tolerated in a trueuniversity, but justice to undergraduates also. demands that ham­pering conditions or careless, inefficient teaching shall not be per­mitted to continue.It remains merely to reiterate that the new plan can be successfulonly as it expresses a devotion to scholarly ideals, to teaching as aninspiring profession, and to study as the chief if not the only obj ectof undergraduate life. It is to be hoped that the alumni of theUniversity will feel a genuine interest in this movement, and willdo all that they can in their contact with undergraduates to fosterthe spirit of respect for college work, and of effort toward a higherstandard of attainment.CIIARLES HUBBARD JUDDTHE NEW DIRF:CTOR OF THE SCHOOL OF EDUCATIONTHE NEW DIRECTOR OF THE SCHOOL OF EDUCATIONThe announcement of the appointment of Professor CharlesHubbard Judd,. of Yale University, to the directorship of the Schoolof Education is a source of sincere gratification to all friends of theUniversity. Professor Judd will bring to his new work the highestqualifications, and under his guidance the School will undoubtedlyenjoy a larger measure of prosperity than ever before.Professor Judd occupies the chair of psychology at Yaie: Hewas graduated from Wesleyan University in 1894 and took hisdoctorate at Leipzig under Wundt in 1896, returning to an instruc­torship .at Wesleyan, which he held for two years. From 1898 to1901 he was professor of psychology and pedagogy at N ew YorkUniversity, removing thence to a similar position at the Universityof Cincinnati, where he rem�ined till 1902. He, then accepted aninstructorship at Yale, where �e was in 1904 promoted' to, anassistant professorship. His professorship came to him, in 1907.Throughout his residence at New Haven he has been director ofthe psychological laboratory. He has also been in the employ ofthe State Board of Education of Connecticut as inspector of highschools.. Among his scientific colleagues Professor Judd is known as theauthor of a number of admirable books and many scientific articlesreporting important investigations. Under his 'leadership the Yalelaboratory has become one of the most prolific producers of soundresearch. No. man in his generation enjoys wider respect amonghis scientific associates.Professor Judd comes to us with a wide practical knowledge ofeducational conditions, with a vital interest in' the scientific studyof educational problems and the widest intellectual equipment forattacking them. He is a tried and successful administrator, arecognized scholar, a man of unflagging industry and vigor, cherish­ing the highest ideals and familiar with all that is best in educationalprocedure. The University may be justly congratulated in securingthe services of S0' powerful a recruit.23FRANK HUGH MONTGOMERYFrank Hugh Montgomery, associate professor of dermatologyin Rush Medical College, lost his life by drowning in White Lake,Mich., on July 14. Dr. Montgomery was an expert sailor andswimmer, and took great pleasure in the management of the boatwhich he kept at his summer horne near White Lake. On the dayof the accident he was accompanied by his young son, Hamilton,and by his stenographer, Mrs. Head, who was assisting during thesummer in the preparation of work for the press. Both Mrs. Headand Hamilton wore life-preservers. The boat was overturned by asudden gust of wind; Dr. Montgomery and Hamilton clung to theboat, but Mrs. Head drifted away. Dr. Montgomery swam to herrescue, but failed to reach her, as the current carried her continuallybeyond him. He perished from exhaustion or shock; the bodieswere found some rods apart, floating on the surface face down­ward.Dr. Montgomery was born in 1862, at Fairhaven, Minn. Hisearly studies in the St. Cloud high school and the University ofMinnesota were followed by the course at Rush Medical Collegeand by postgraduate work at Johns Hopkins University and in thehospitals of Paris, London, and Vienna. In 1897 he was marriedto Caroline L. Williamson; his wife and three children survive him.At the time of his death Dr. Montgomery was associate pro­fessor of dermatology in Rush Medical College, and dermatologistto the Presbyterian, the St. Elizabeth, the St. Anthony de Padua,and the Oak Park Hospitals; he was also an active member of thelocal, state, and national societies. He was an active member of theAmerican Dermatological Association, in which he served a term asvice-president and for three terms as secretary : in the latter capacityhe edited the Transactions of the association for 1900-2. He alsoserved as president of the Chicago Dermatological Society, takingan active part in all its meetings from the date of its organization.Aside from the Treatise of Diseases of the Skin which bears Dr.Montgomery's name, and which has passed through several editions,he was known to the profession by his numerous scientific articles,each of which is characterized by scholarly thoroughness and by a24THE NEW PSYCHOLOGY BUILDINGwide knowledge of the literature of dermatology in �11 languages.Among his colleagues and his. clientele Dr. Montgomery was recog­nized as an acute diagnostician, a skilful pathologist and prac­titioner, and a physician of singularly gracious personality.Besides his scientific affiliations, Dr. Montgomery was a mem­ber of the University Club, the Chicago Literary Club. (of which hewas secretary during 1906-7), the Quadrangle Club, and the Home­wood Country Club; also of the Psi Upsilon and the Nu Sigma Nufraternities. Although born and bred a Congregationalist, he wasa pewholder and regular attendant at St. Paul's Episcopal Church,Kenwood. He took a keen interest in the work of the South ParkImprovement Association, and acted as chairman during the years1902-4.'In a time when specialization too often restricts the interests ofscientific men, Dr.' Montgomery was notable for the breadth andgeniality of his sympathy with many sides of life. He wasintensely fond of music, an enthusiastic mountain climber, an ener­getic promoter of civic good, a thoughtful student of educationalquestions. His loss is deeply felt among the colleagues whorespected his . ability, and yet more deeply by the friends who knewhis daily life and character.THE NEW PSYCHOLOGY BUILDINGAfter long years of waiting the Department of Psychology hasfinally been given quarters of its own commensurate with its needs.During the past year its work has been scattered through fivedifferent buildings. This era of decentralization is now fortunatelyat an end.The University has taken the three-story stone and brick build­ing at 5728-30 Ellis Avenue and reconstructed the interior SOl as toafford one of the most convenient and well-arranged laboratories tobe found either in this country or abroad. The work of recon­struction should be entirely completed by the time this numberreaches the reader.The top floor is exclusively devoted to research work and theinterests of graduate students. A dozen rooms are available forthese purposes. On the second floor a commodious library forundergraduate students adjoins a seminar room in which graduatestudents may have their own table space and necessary books'. On26 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEthe same floor are the department offices, a rest room for women,apparatus rooms, and rooms for special laboratory training courses.On the ground floor two pleasant lecture rooms, provided withfacilities for classroom demonstrations of various kinds, will accom­modate all the courses the Department offers. The proximity of theserooms to the apparatus will enable the enrichment of the elementarycourses with much interesting material which ha5 not been availablewhen the classes were held in buildings at a distance. In the base­ment the space will be occupied by a drafting room, a shop, and alarge dark-room for optical work.The old building at 5704 Ellis Avenue will be used, in con­junction with the adjoining animal yard, for the work in compara­tive psychology. This will obviate the necessity of keeping ani­mals in a building used for general academic purposes-a necessitywhich has been found very annoying hitherto.With this new home the Department looks forward with greatenthusiasm to the work of the year. Graduate students can nowbe offered facilities of the very highest order, and the undergradu­ate can be introduced much more effectively than before into thereal spirit of modern psychology.A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THEUNIVERSITYTo the Alumni:With this first issue of The University of Chicago Magazine thecourtesy of the editors permits me to send a word of greeting tothe alumni. The University has given since its founding in 1892nearly five thousand degrees. Thus there is a goodly army nowenrolled under the Chicago banners. To these, its representativesin active life, the University now extends its best wishes for suc­cess in all good things, with the assurance that useful achievementby its graduates is the best warrant for the existence of the insti­tution. Each passing year adds a larger number to the alumnibody. There were 400 degrees given in 1904, 411 in 1905, 460 in1906, 538 in 1907, and 541 in 1908. This last number is almostexactly the same as the entire number of students enrolled in theautumn quarter of ,1892.The Magazine under its new auspices is the result of co-­operation between the University and the Alumni Association,whereby duplication of effort is avoided, and the news resourcesof each are combined. It should be a periodical worthy its nameand constituency, and should serve to. keep all alumni informed asto the progress and purposes of the Alma Mater. The Universityfor years to. come must be in a condition of development, and itsprogressive unfolding should be a matter of constant interest to allwho hold its degree. On the other hand, the alumni are now ina position to. be of positive service in many ways. Their loyalsupport for the Magazine is confidently expected.Various plans are under consideration for strengthening andunifying the alumni interests. These from time to time will be setforth in the M agaeine, which will discuss everything held in com­mon by the faculty, the students, and the alumni. Thus suchmatters can be thoroughly considered in every light, and all thewisdom of those concerned in the welfare of the University canbe obtained. 'It is hoped that the new Magazine will in every way be worthyof the University, that it will be a source of constant interest to allfriends of the University, and that its support will be so generousas to assure the success which the undertaking so. well deserves.HARRY PRATT JUDSONTHE UNIVERSITY RECORDEXERCISES CONNECTED WITH THESIXTY-EIGHTH CONVOCATIONSenhor J oaquim N abuco, LL.D.,Litt.D., Brazilian Ambassador tothe United States, was the convoca­tion .orator on August 28, 1908, hisaddress, which was given in theLeon Mandel Assembly Hall, beingentitled "The Approach of the TwoAmericas."

A few years ago the gradu­ates began to realize their missionalong this line and in March, 1907,their effort took the form of an in­dependent organ known as TheChicago Alumni Magazine. The de­sire for a more comprehensivejournal, however, one which would'embrace within its exclusive pur­view the entire range' of Universitylife and activity, has in this issuefound its fruition. The Universityhas seen the possibilities of itsgrowing as well as aging graduatebody and now, instead of continu­ing' its former necessary, almostparental, attitude, it is willing andglad to lean upon its offspring, andshow its faith in them. ', The new j ournal stands foreverything which the former publi­cation did, except that both thenature and obj ects of its servicehave been broadened. The officiallife of the institution which form­erly was reported through thequarterly known as the UniversityRecord, will hereafter appear ex­clusively in this publication. TheRecord and Alumni Magazin,e arethus fused and the University andits graduates are brought closer to­gether in a common interest. Thefield' of The University of ChicagoMagazine is just as broad as itsname. It is no longer an alumniperiodical in the narrow sense, butby serving all the various classesand groups in our University familyit becomes an alumni periodical inthe broadest and best sense-in thesense of devotion to the interests ofthe University at large.On the other hand, this develop­ment does not mean that any of33 that alumni integrity, as exemplifiedin the' old Alumni Magazine, hasbeen or is to be dissipated. Thepublication is still owned and pub­lished by the Alumni Associationand the freedom of its columns forthe expression of alumni opinion' isin no wise abridged. The generousco-operation of the University, inplacing in the hands of the gradu­ates the disseminating of its officialnews and also in putting at - theirdisposal the excellent organization,both edito.rial and financial, whichthe University Record has enjoyedfor so many years, can only serveto enlarge the usefulness and powerof the new Magazine. ,The Magazine thus becomes. aninstrument in the hands of thegraduates, wherein all of the vari­ous phases of our University life,be they alumni, ,faculty, under­graduate, or other friendly- interests,may find their welfare served andprotected,A CLASS GIFT FROM EACH CLASSEditor The Magazine:Sir: I have recently read with in­terest the statement in the DailyMaroon that the class of 1908 havedecided to give a bronze tablet to the �memory of President Harper as theirclass gift. This moves me to remarkthat the class gifts appear to me to bea very important feature of the stu­dent's connection with the Univer­sity, a' feature which deserves care­ful consideration by every class. -The sentiments' clustering about astudent's years in the University· arenot only an important part 'of· him­self throughout the rest of his life;they are also important to' the insti­tution and form one of its mostvaluable assets in the educationalworld. It is, therefore, fitting anddesirable for graduates of each yearto leave a memorial of their con­nection with the University. Most34 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEof the classes up to the present timehave done this, but there are . somegaps in the series which, if I re­member correctly, is as follows:1893-1894-1895-1896-The Seniors' Bench.1897- The President's Chair.1898-The Stone Fountain.1900-An elm tree (the largeston the campus).190I-The Douglas Tablet in thecorridor of Mandel Hall.1902-Stained glass window inMandel Hall.1903-The HC" Bench.1904-1905-1906- The Cobb Hall BulletinBoards.1907-The Cobb Hall Lights.1908- The Harper Tablet.Is it not possible to fill these gaps?I take it for granted that the classesof 1904 and 1905 already have thesubj ect in hand and that in due timetheir gifts will be presented to theUniversity, but so far as I know thefirst three classes did nothing in thisdirection. I t should be possible yetto secure concerted' action from themembers of these classes to con­tribute memorials which, althoughnot. too expensive for the compara­tively small classes in these· years,would be appropriate and in linewith the others. How fitting itwould be, for instance, if the classof 1893 should place in the corridorof Cobb Hall, on the wall of whatwas Cobb Hall Chapel until lastsummer, a tablet stating- that in thisroom the University began its work,October I, 1892, with a simple chapelservice conducted by PresidentHarper and that the tablet wasplaced by the first graduating class.The article in the Maroon namesthe following subj ects for gifts whichwere considered by this year's class: "A stone bridge across Hull pond,stone benches in Mandel and Hitch­cock courts, clocks for HutchinsonHall, the Reynolds Club, LexingtonHall, the Law library and Memoriallibrary, trees on the campus, collec­tions of books for the new library,alcoves in the library, lighting fix­tures on the campus, a bronzefountain in Mandel court and abronze ornament in Hitchcock court."It would be well, 1 think, if thesesuggestions and all others worthyof consideration that come beforethe succeeding classes were kept onfile. in your office. Every suggestionthat may occur to any interested per­son might be added to the list, andthus there would be on hand an in­creasing series of worthy objectsopen to the consideration of theclasses when they are ready to takeup the matter, .Every gift should have in itselfenough worth, artistic or practicalto ensure its being kept throughoutthe history of the University. Asthe years go on these mementoeswill become a distinct and interestingfeature of the University's materialequipment.These remarks are offered forwhat they may be worth and you maymake such use of them as your judg­ment approves. I remain,F. J. GURNEY, d'83Chicago, Iune I, I908THE CLOSE OF THE OLD UNIVERSITYEditor The Magazine:Sir: In the article on "CollegeJournalism" (November, 1907, Jan­uary, 1908), the close of the OldUniversity is referred to as occur­ring in 1885. The University con­tinued its work until after thecommencement exercises in June,1886, as is amply attested by thestrong body of alumni of that year.FRANCIS HUMBOLDT CLARKUNDERGRADUATE LIFEFootball gossip at Chicago took aconservative turn when it was givenout that the first game would beplayed within two days of theopening of school. Results, how­ever, gave Chicago men confidence.When Purdue was defeated onMarshall Field by a score of 39 too the new fighting machine began toreceive attention. Coach Staggbuilt up his new team with the fol­lowing men: Page, r e; Kelley, r t;Ehrhorn, r g ; Badenoch, c; Worth­wine, I g; . Hoffman, 1 t; Schommer,1 e; Steffen (Capt.), q b; Crowley,r h b; Iddings, 1 h b; Schott, f b.Only three "C" men who playedon last year's team, Steffen, Id­dings, and Page, returned. Threeothers, Hoffman, Schommer, andW orthwine, played last year as sub­stitutes. Most of the materialoffered was not promising, but theaddition of such a man as TomKelley, 190 lbs., who played tacklein 1906 proved fortunate.. Kelleywas laid up with' rheumatism lastseason. The freshman class of lastyear had little to offer Coach Stagg,although there is promising materialin Rogers, ISO lbs., captain of the191 I team; Crowley, 168 lbs. ;Smith, 195 lbs., and Bohlander, 185lbs. Extra line positions probablywill be filled from last year's scrubteam. 'Badenoch, 173 lbs., has had oneyear's experience playing against theVarsity and is expected to makegood in his position. Ehrhorn, 163lbs., was a promising scrub lastyear and is expected to make goodthis year.This year's schedule includes thefollowing games:October 17-Illinois at Chicago.October 3 I-Minnesota at Chicago.November 14-Cornell· at Chicago.November 21-Wisconsin at Madi-son.That Chicago athletes are soughtafter as coaches by schools allover the country is evident whenthe number of men now in good,well-paid positions is considered. Some of the men, as in the case ofMarc Catlin, are also heads of theirdepartments, while others'. are onthe faculty of other departments atthe same time. Those coaching thisfall are:A. H.

FAIRWEATHER_, '07, General SecretaryTHE ANNUAL MEETINGThe annual meeting of the AlumniAssociation on Saturday, June 6,1908, was larger than any otherprevious gathering. It was uniquein the large number of visitinggraduates who carne from consider­able distances. The alumni clubsat Seattle and Denver were repre­sented by special delegates. Manyof the students of the Old Univer­sity were in attendance.The business meeting convened attwo 0' clock with President BurtBrown Barker, '97, in the chair. Thecommittee on �l new constitution wascontinued for another year. In viewof the many changes through which the Association is now passing itwas thought unwise to stipulate forany definite form of governmentuntil the plans of the organizationhad been definitized. The presi­dent's report brought out the re­cent growth in alumni clubs invarious sections of the country, andalso the fact that during the pastyear the Association had been keptfree from any deficit, by virtue ofthe arrangement with the generalsecretary, whereby all current officeexpenses are assumed by him. Newactivity for the Association wassuggested along the lines of extend­ing the Association's publication, inco-operation among the variousTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO ALUMNI ASSOCIATION 4Ialumni groups, in the reorganiza­tion of the alumni records in theedition of a new alumni directory,and the obtaining of permanentquarters for the alumni office. Adiscussion followed as to the chang­ing of the hour of the businessmeeting from two o'clock to aboutfive, just preceding the alumni din­ner, and a motion was carried tothe effect that some such arrange­ment be planned for next year.The president of the Associationthen welcomed the class of 'oS intothe general alumni body. The re­sponse on the behalf of the classwas made by Luther D. Fernald, 'aS.During the afternoon the classesadj ourned to the Western Inter­Collegiate Conference, then in prog­ress in Marshall Field, or heldimpromptu reunions in the vicinityof the "C" bench where the band wasplaced.In the evening one hundred andeighty graduates and guests assem­bled at the annual alumni dinner.Owing to the limited accommoda­tions, between seventy-five and onehundred alumni were unable to beprovided for. The toastmaster ofthe eveninz, President-elect JohnFranklin Hagey, '9S, was introducedby the retiring president who, in thecours � of his remarks, announcedthe election of officers of the asso­ciation and alumni members of theUniversity Congregation. The toastlist was as follows: Alvin Kramer,'oS, Oren B. Taft, ex-'62, RalphMerriam, '03, and President Judsonof the University.At the conclusion of the speakingthe graduates sang the "AlmaMater" and adj ourned to theReynolds Club for an informalalumni dance. This latter venturewas an innovation in alumni dayprocedure, but proved very enj oyable.Plans for the celebration ofalumni day next year are being con­sidered which involve the changeof the day to Convocation Day, theholding of the business meeting atfive o'clock shortly after the Convo­cation address, a large alumni din­ner in the evening, followed by in­formal dancing either in the Rey­nolds Club or Gymnasium.

I would verymuch prefer to be with you, but cannot, thistime.My life work has been mostly in the Congre­gational ministry. Twenty-four years ago wecame to California and for the past fifteen yearswe have lived in Berkeley, the seat of ourwestern U. of C. (University of California). For about ten years, when I was unable tocontinue in the ministry I engaged in realestate. This resulted in' a comfortable homeand income, in a very pleasant city of aboutforty thousand population, close by Oakland andSan Francisco.Our family of three sons and three daughtersare all grown and have their homes near by us.We have thirteen grandchildren which are ajoy to us.At present, we are at our summer horne,Simol Glen, Cal.-a very healthful, scenic,country place, where we lived three years soonafter coming to California. I was the pioneerpastor and helped build the church, and last yearhelped build a parsonage.I t is extremely pleasant here among our oldfriends and amid the lofty hills, covered withgreen and alive with birds and squirrels. I putin most of my time in gratuitous Christian andbenevolent work, and find it a d.elightful way ofspending the sunset days of life.My good wife and I have lived together, mosthappily, for over forty years, and are havingthe very best part of life just now. I hope youare all as happy in your church and home lifeas we are, and that you will have a delightfulreunion of the class. We shall be very pleasedto hear from it later as well as from each oneof you personally.Very fraternally yours,O. G.
