The University. of Chicago·.MagazineMAY 1914 NUMBER 7TOO GOOD TO MISSThe spirit of the preparation for Alumni Week, June 4, 5, and 6, isnot "Please plan to come to show your Chicago loyalty," but "It's goingto be too good to miss-you better get your ticket or there won't be room."Several active committees manned and womaned by enthusiasticand resourceful graduates have been arranging the details of the severaloccasions for many weeks.·Johnnie Moulds, general chairman, says that the plans of the severalcommittees .. are working, together nicely and that the program is goingto go with a George Cohan" zip."Alvin Kramer, who is in' general charge of dass and departmentalreunions, announces that the following classes will hold reunions ; �94;'99,"04, '09, 'II, '12, and '13. The time and place .of these class reunionswill beannounced later.The first big event occurs after the fraternity dinners on Fridaynight. The Inter-Fraternity Sing has given way to the All-UniversitySing. The Sing chairman, Henry Sulcer, announces that the Sing - willstart promptly at 7 :'30 P.M., Friday evening, June 5, and will closepromptly at 10· P.M. on account of the-but that's "something. elseagain." Instead of following the traditional order, the youngest. Ira­ternity chapter will sing first, and the�oldest chapter last. Each groupis to belimited to two songs, one marching song and one other-selection.Henry Sulcer says that the band will lead off with some of the good' oldstuff andthe group singing will follow in a snappy fashiori.And then come the Movies. Yes, and in Mandel Hall. Moviessuch as 'will make any real Chicago .gargoyle .wiggle off the' roof.Promptly at 10 P.M. the Singwill stop and as many of the alumniandalumnae 'and their friends and neighbors as can will fill Mandel Hall'seleven hundred seats.

Thenwill follow one or more football films. Negotiations are now under wayfor' securing the Chicago-Minnesota football g�me played at Minne­apolis last fall. The pittance which the Finance Committee is chargingfor all this is fifty cents. This is one reason why we say that the spiritof Alumni Week is, "The seats are rapidly filling up. Better get yours."Seats fox the moving pictures may be secured from the Information Office,June 4 and 5, �s well as at Mandel Hall during the Sing Friday evening,Saturday, June 6, will be a busy day. The business meeting of theAlumni Association occurs at 10 A.M. This will be followed by thealumnae breakfast in' Lexington Hall at II: 15 A.M.Miss Helen Sunny, who is in charge of the alumnae breakfast, islooking for an attendance of three hundred alumnae and former students.Miss Sunny wishes to emphasize the fact that this invitation is given notonly to alumnae- but to all women who have attended the University.Dean Talbot is to speak, and the traditional reception is to be given towomen of the Senior class. A response will be made by a representativeof the class. Tickets, which are $1 .00 each, may be secured from MissHelen T. Sunny, 4933 Woodlawn Avenue, Chicago .. Reservationsshould be made as promptly as possible. Those who are unable tosecure tickets in advance may buy them at 10:30 on the morning ofJune 6, in Lexington Hall. The attendance last year was two hundred.Plans are being made for three hundred this year. This is the oneopportunity of the year for all alumnae to meet, regardless of affiliationswith alumni organizations.At I P.M. the Conference Meet starts. Charley Kennedy hasarranged for an alumni section for both men and . women. To secureseats inthis section it will be necessary to send a request 'for reservationsto him as soon as possible. His telephone number is Wabash 4127; hisaddress, 1702 Lytton Building, Chicago. Seats are $1. 00 each.But Ernie Quantrell says that the real eventof Alumni Week is thestag dinner which follows the Conference Meet in Hutchinson Hall.The dinner will be informal and will consist of cabaret stunts per­formed by Chicago men. There will be plenty of fun and snappy music.All graduates of the University, former students, and Seniors are invited.Walter L.

Vote forthem.Does your membership in the Association expire betweennow andJuly? If so, you can be of the greatest possible service to the alumniorganization by renewing at once. Renewals are notinfrequently made only after fo�r or five notices havebeen sent; and this not from any disinclination to renew, but fromsheer procrastination in a small matter. It is small, but it is alsoimportant, Co-operate, and call down upon your head the blessings ofa busy office.On May 9 was held a dinner and 'business meeting of the ChicagoAlumni Club, at the_ LaSalle Hotel, at whichmuch discussion was hadby all. The regular spring dinner of the dub having!����!: been merged this year with the Association dinner onJune 7, the attendance at the May reunion was smallerthan usual-about 60�but those present spent a lively evening. Reso­lutions having regard to the lack of alumni representation on the Boardof Trustees were presented and debated, but no .action was taken. DeanAngell spoke on: University matters and was. most 'enthusiasticallyreceived.RenewalsTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEThe advance toward real student government in certain vital mat­ters, which the year has shown at the University, is notable. TheHonor Commission is handling sensibly the cases of class­StudentGovernment room, dishonesty which formerly occupied much of thetime of the Deans' meetings; and now the Inter-FraternityCouncil has put through, with the approval of the Faculty, but uponits own initiative and entirely by its own formulation, a set of regulationsin regard to "rushing," pledging, and initiating that are at least intendedto be a distinct advance over the present set. Only time can tell howthey will work; but no time is needed to convince-most people thatan eager and intelligent interest in self-government is one of the mostessential matters in a democracy.Is the University, by the way, democratic? They have been havinga vigorous. argument recently at Harvard, in the pages of the Alumni'Bulletin, over the question of the democracy of Harvard;they have classified their provinciality, and bewailed it,out they have further asserted their right to be called democratic. Ina way, Harvard is 'more democratic than Chicago; that is, it is morerepresentative. Either there is more radicalism of thought there, or lessfalse modesty." At the recent suffrage parade in Boston, Harvardpromised 60 students, and sent 600. Did an undergraduate (male)offer to walk in the Chicago procession? It is in affairs outside theUniversity that Chicago undergraduates sometimes appear provincial.In their own affairs they conduct themselves admirably; out in that"student spirit" which European universities show, which Harvardsometimes shows (as in the case some years ago when Samuel Gomperswas forbidden to speak in Sanders Theater)�in that free and ferventinterest in the life of the nation which one hopes for from trained youth,they sometimes seem a little wanting. .DemocracyBlackfriarsA very interesting situation this spring resulted in .part from theBlackfriars' performance, The Student Superior. The show itself wasexcellent. The play-it was really that-satirized gentlymany "college" foibles, in .no way taking sides, but pok­ing mild fun at both the lack of any real undergraduateconventions at Chicago, and the effort to establish them;and incidentally commenting upon the tyranny. of athletics -in moderncollege life. Pat to the comment came the illustration. Mr. Staggearly in. the season posted a notice that no student who was con­cerned in the Blackfriar performance might be a candidate for theAthleticsand theEVENTS AND DISCUSSIONtrack team. The two chiefly hit by this were Paul Russell, '16, andStellan Windrow, '16. Russell is perhaps the best broad jumper incollege; Windrow is the best with the .discus, But Mr. Stagg, in aletterto the Maroon, declared that " it is manifestly plain that it is notgood for the discipline of the, athletic teams, to allow a division of inter­ests," and further, "I have a theory � ... that living in' an atmospheredistinctly effeminate does .not put iron in the blood and is not conduciveto good athletics." He made the principal point; it is true, that toomuch time would be required of the student by participation in bothBlackand track, so to speak; but the force of this argument was greatlyweakened by the continued use of Des J ardiens and Norgren in bothtrack and baseball. It came down to a square statement that, as arecreation, intercollegiate athletics is a business for the participants, andas such .must not be interfered with by fun. On the whole, it seems asif the Blackfriars had the last laugh.The following from the catalogue of the University of Utah SummerSchool is of interest:Practical and theoretical instruction in the duties which janitorsA Course forare called upon to perform. The aim of the work will be to discoverJanitors how the greatest efficiency can be secured at' the least expenditure ofhuman energy and money. Among the subjects to be treated are the following:Materials and methods to be used in cleaning, firing and care of furnace, sanitation,bacteriology, and' the character and care of janitorial equipment. Discussions willbe practical and simple and will at all times be fully demonstrated. Practical labora­tory work will be conducted, consisting of the' actual cleaning of windows, walls,floors, etc. The course will 'be given by means of the co-operation of various depart­ments of the University and of institutions and individuals outside the University.Something of the sort should be tried at Chicago, and particularly thissummer while the quadrangle offers such opportunities for practice,The Classics Building is conducting itself quietly, as befits its purpose,in a corner of the grounds; but the Geology Building, planted squarely inthe middle of the quadrangles, which it fences off with piles of iron andbrick and stone" and fills with the dust and noise of construction, couldsurely be employed most usefully for some months yet to train a jani­torial service in.. It is, however, to' be completed by November I, onwhich date it is expected classes will assemble in it. If these hopes arerealized, any amount of confusion may be forgiven now.THE JULIUS ROSEN� ALD· HALLExcavations for the new building to be devoted to. the Departmentsof Geology and Geography are completed and construction is expectedto be rapid.' The building, to cost about $260,000, will be known asJulius Rosenwald Hall in recognition of the donor. The style of archi­tecture of the new building will be Gothic and such as to conform withthat used in the more recently erected buildings on the quadrangles;and special effort will be made to express . the uses of the buildingsymbolically .in the decorative features of the facades,Located immediately west of Walker Museum and north of the LawBuilding, it will be connected with .the former on all its' floors. Themain entrance will be to the· north and there will be secondary entrancesin the tower connecting the two buildings. In the basement, the floorof which is slightly below grade, will be a large assembly hall capable ofseating 180 students, and also several laboratories for experimental pur­poses. The first floor is mainly given over to a large museum, approxi­mately 100 by 55 feet. On this floor also are three map laboratories,three map conference rooms, and one. large classroom. The generalreading-room is on the second floor, with bookstack adjoining. Thebookstack will run independently throughout ·the remaining floors,being connected with each by a book lift and separate stairway, and willhave a capacity On all the floors of about 50,000 volumes. Connectedwith this on the second floor is a small library workroom, while the mainportion of the floor is devoted to three large' classrooms. In the wingto the south are private offices for the heads of the departments andseparate rooms for other members of the staff.In the north wing of the third floor will be the petrology laboratoryas well as a research reading-room, with small individual rooms adjoining;and these rooms are so placed as to have the full advantage of the northlight. In connection with these are a goniometer room, a photo­micrographic room, and a small dark room; and a seismographic caissonwill extend down some seventy feet to solid rock. In the wing to the'south will be a geographical chemical laboratory, a mineralogical labo­ratory, and an economic laboratory.The fourth floor is almost entirely given up to research work, onelarge room being devoted to the use of the staff of the geological andgeographical departments, while to the west provision is made for alarge council room. Here also are ten individual research rooms andone meteorological study, the latter having direct access to two rooms inthe tower and to the roof of the tower, where will be placed meteorologicalinstruments, with recording instruments in the rooms below.172REPORT -OF THE COMMITTEE ON ANEW CONSTITU.TION FOR THEALUMNI ASSOCIATIONThe College Alumni Association of the University Of . Chicago hasgiven notice that at its annual meeting this year a n�w constitution willbe submitted, This annual meeting will be held at the University onSaturday morning, June 6, 1914. The Committeeon the New Consti­tution now su?mits to the members of the Association for comparison andconsideration the old constitution, that is, the constitution as . it nowstands, and a proposal for the new constitution. Your committee wasappointed by and reported to the Executive" Committee, which has notyet taken final action on the report. Some changes made by the Execu­tive Committee in the recommendations contained in this' report to itare incorporated in the following statement, Further modifications maybe made, but' it is expected that they will be neither many nor sub­stantial, when the Executive Committee reports to the annual meeting .. The work of the Association has for some time been growing awayfrom the old constitution, and the present proposals are but the workingout and expression 'of this year's work, profiting, it is hoped; by theexperience of 'past administrations ·as well. The change in the Execu­tive Committee is typical. The old constitution provided an ExecutiveCommittee consisting of the President, the Secretary, and of nine mem­bers at large with three-year ··terms. Practical necessity added theVice-Presidents to the committee .. ·It has grown largely in size. In someway a supplementary committee of smaller size and called "the StandingCommittee" has been established. It is not called for by the old consti­tution. Some of its members have been members of the Executive Com­mittee.isome, not. This committee seems to testify that the ExecutiveCommittee is too large for many of its purposes and perhaps thatmem­bers elected to .it for a three-year term are not always able to give activeservice for allof the term. In addition, special committees have beenappointed for many specific tasks, with chairman and members whomight or might not be members either of the Executive Committee or ofthe Standing Committee. The undefined scope of .the jurisdiction ofeach -of all these' committees has necessarily resulted in some duplicationof work' and in' considerable confusion.173174 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEThe proposed Executive Committee {see proposed Article II) isdesigned to be a real cabinet. It is meant to be as small as possible andyet large . enough to contain' all the officers and chairmen of standingcommittees. There is to be no "Standing Committee," but each one ofthe several regular or standing committees of the Association is to haveits chairman from among the members of the Executive. Committee.Each member of the. Executive Committee is to have a two-year term;one-half of the committee to be renewed each year. This is the curesuggested to give to the Executive Committee definiteness of responsi­bility and unimpeded opportunity to regulate the Association's work.Every other matter in the proposed constitution is suggested in thesame way: either to meet honestly conditions as they now exist at theUniversity or for increased efficiency in accomplishing the association'sobjects. Notice the change in regard to elections, to facilitate a mailedballot; also, and particularly, the proposed provisions in regard tomembership. The University has now several colleges besides that' ofArts" Literature, and' Science. Their Bachelo'rs should be included.The Masters have no . separate organization, so they are made eligibleto join the College Association, if they so wish. Again, according to theold constitution, all persons eligible were ipso facto members of theAssociation. Not all took the Magazine, but all were entitled to receivethe Association's notices. The Secretary has had a cumbersome roll tokeep and has not been able to use the Magazine for official notices, or itssubscription list as a mailing list. The new provision makes morepersons eligible, and requires each member to receive and pay ,for theMagazine. It should be a help to a better magazine and a stimulus topeople to be actively enough interested in the University to be realmembers .of its Alumni Association.,It is seriously hoped that the members of the Association will giveserious attention 'to the matter of the new constitution. Withoutsuch attention and interest the best paper constitution ever made is, ofcourse, quite useless.ALICE GREENACREETHEL REMICK McDOWELL.(Mrs. Irvin McDowell)DAVIDA HARPER EATON(Mrs. Charles Scribner Eaton)REPORT OF COMMITTEE ONNEW CONSTITUTION .FOR ALUMNI 1.75CONSTITUTION OF THE COLLEGE.

Hejoined the Daily News staff in 1906 andwas made city editor the following year.In 1912 he became assistant news editor.He was a member of the Phi Kappa PsiFraternity.In Memoriam: Edith Barnard.-On Sunday morning, March 8, theUniversity lost, through death, one of itsyounger but most promising and beloved instructors, Edith Barnard. She diedof an acute attack of heart disease, aftera single hour's suffering. She had beenill for several months from a low fever ofunknown origin, which had caused .deepconcern but no acute alarm to her familyand friends.. This was recognized as adisease' of the ·heart (endocarditis) onlyafter her death; and her loss came quiteunexpectedly to all whoknew her.Edith Barnard was . not only an in­structor of the University, but also oneof its college. alumnae and one of itsDoctors of Philosophy, a child of theUniversity from her first days in collegeto her last days with us. She took hercollegiate degree, S.B., in 1903, grad­uating with honors in Chemistry and inher general college course, and havingbeen elected to the Phi Beta. Kappa.Her work in. Chemistry had been sopromising that she was encouraged topursue graduate studies in the depart­ment and was appointed to an assistant­ship in Quantitative Analysis. In 1905she took ··the Master's degree (S.M.) inChemistry and in 1907 the degree ofDoctor .of Philosophy, magna cum . laude,in Chemistry and Physics.In the meantime Miss Barnard 'hadadvanced steadily in the department andwas appointed instructor in QuantitativeAnalysis 'in 1907, with the chief chargeof ' the eight or nine courses given in thatsubject. As an instructor she fulfilledthe great promise of her undergraduatedays· by her technical and professionalproficiency: her work was one of greatresponsibility because students gradu­ating from these courses went out intotechnical positions and any defects intheir preparation would at once ha vebecome apparent in the merciless lightof technical competition. Miss Barnardsucceeded in maintaining the high pro­fessional standards of the department. in this work, even in the trying SUmmerQuarters, when her laboratory was over­crowded with students working doubletime. As a teacher she was distinguishedby a combination of rare patience, keensympathy, and simple. dignity in herattitude toward her students and by herstand for straightforward, honest work.. Miss Barnard was also active continu­ously since 1905 in original investigation,chiefly . in collaboration with ProfessorStieglitz and his·· students. Only oneof their joint investigations has. as yetbeen published, but a' great mass of im­portant experimental material, has beenaccumulated in several fields, whose final188 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEediting awaits only the completion ofclosely related investigations and whichwill ultimately be published in her nameas one of the collaborating investigators.In this field Miss Barnard's work wascharacterized by the same unwaveringhonesty of purpose and action that illu­mined her work as teacher, and by a'tireless �ergy and devotion that oftencarried her to the limit of her strength.Successful as she was as a student,teacher, and investigator, Edith Barnardwill be remembered by' her friends; col­leagues, and students above all on accountof the 'peautiful personality, the noblecharacter, that shone out in all her ac­tions, in all her relations to people. Shebrought light and happiness, strengthand courage for the high purposes of lifewherever she went, to her home, to herchurch, to her laboratories, to her large'circle. of friends. She considered it herduty to be. happy and cheerful, and sheadhered bravely to this high and difficultprinciple, even under the most tryingcircumstances that, occasionally cast their shadows on her life, and finallyalso through the m.onths of her own illnessto the: very hour of the final call. "Thisspirit of brave cheerfulness, this sense ofquiet courage in the face of both thelarger and the smaller miseries of lifeno doubt formed the secret of her powerto shed light wherever she went. Thosewho knew her well recognized also thesteadfastness with, which she held to theideals of life-for her there was' no com­promise possible, no discord betweentheory and action. She was not. belli­gerent, she made no attempt, outside ofher Sunday-school room and her labo­ratories, to impress on society the idealsshe' lived for, as so many other noblewomen are doing atpresent-vshe simplylived her life, . modestly, nobly, and inthat living brought rare gifts of strength,courage, and happiness to all who' knewher. It is this type of modest, beautifulwomanhood which' friends, colleagues,fellow-alumni, and students are mourn­ing above all else in the loss of EdithBarnard.ATHLETICSBy the time this issue of the Magazineappears, the baseball season will be prac­tically finished .. ' At the present time,May 22, the standing of the leadingteams is as follows:Illinois won 6, lost I.Chicago won 5, lost 3·Wisconsin won 4, lost 4.The victories so far . have been overIndiana, Iowa, Minnesota twice, andIllinois;' the defeats by Ohio State, andWisconsin twice. Ohio State won byvirtue of an unhittable pitcher, Cook,whose " spitball" was altogether toomuch for Chicago. Wisconsin. won thefirst game on account of Chicago's al­most incredible stupidity on the bases.This stupidity had been shown through­out the season, but reached a climaxin the Wisconsin game. With the scorea tie, 2-2, Gray opened the last half ofthe ninth with a two-base hit. Hargerfollowed with a . tiny single over second.Instead of stopping at third, which wouldhave put Chicago men on first and thirdand nobody out, Gray dashed for theplate, aad was thrown out by twentyfeet. - There is a difference of opinionon the.question whether he was coachedto his doom or not; he says he was,Kixmiller, who was doing' the coaching,says he was not. Between them, at all events, the game dropped into the dis­card. The second' game Wisconsin "Yonby clean hitting.The team on the whole. has shown goodfielding, fair hitting, and plenty of willing­ness to fight on. If 'the men could runbases they would be ball players. Specialmention should be made of the work ofDes J ardiens . as a pitcher. Going inabsolutely unpracticed, he has defeatedfour Conference teams, including Illinois,in six appearances,' shut out Iowa with­out a hit or a base on balls, and on thewhole almost equaled the brilliant debutof Baumgardner last year.Baumgardner so far, on account of thebroken bonein his leg, has been able topitch but one game, that against. Wis­consin on May 15, in which, though hewas defeated, it was by no fault of his, ashe pitched brilliantly. -The track. team has also performedadmirably. The defeat' by Illinois. onMay IS was not unexpected, and most ofthe performances were of a high grade.Barancik was beaten by six inches in thehundred in 10 fiat, and won the 2 20very easily in 22-1-.
