Central Debating League(Chicago, Michigan, Northwestern) thiswinter, namely: "Resolved, that theMonroe Doctrine, as developed and ap­plied by the United States, should beabandoned as a part of our foreign pol­icy."EVENTS AND COMMENT 133The Divinity SchoolJust fifty years:�, ago the first decisivestep toward the founding of the DivinitySchool was taken, On February 16,1865, the Illinois legislature granted acharter to the Baptist Theological Unionof Chicago, authorizing it to establish atheological school.The : Baptist Theological Union hadoriginated as the Theological Union,which had been organized under the statelaw in 1861, with the aim of providingtheological education. The movementfor a theological seminary under Bap­tist auspices at Chicago had arisen inconnection with the Old University ofChicago. Founded in 1857, the Old Uni­versity very soon enrolled a number ofmen who intended to become ministersand a demand for theological trainingwas soon felt. The Theological Unionat first provided a few special lecturesfor theological students in the University. ·It was next arranged that Dr. NathanielColver should give more systematic in­struction in theology, and this he did forthree or four years, for the most part athis house. Dr. Colver's work increasedand in 1865-1867 he and Dr. J. C. c:Clarke gave regular courses in theologyto about a dozen students, whom they metin the University, The divinity work ofthe University has thus been continuous­ly in operation for just fifty years.T4e aim of the Theological Union,however, was to establish a theologicalseminary independent of the University,and this was done in 1867, when theBaptist Union Theological Seminary wasopened and Dr. George W. Northrup,then professor of Church History inRochester Theological Seminary, becameits professor of theology.Dr. Northrup was a man of command­ing personality and the influence heexerted for a quarter of a century ashead of the seminary and professor oftheology was really extraordinary. Hewas the master spirit of the institution even after Dr. Harper came to it in1879 and Dr. Hulbert in 1881. Dr.Northrup's massive qualities made him,through the struggles and achievementsof that crucial period, the mainstay ofthe Seminary. �At the time of the founding of theSeminary the University was in seriousfinancial difficulties and it was proposedby its trustees in 1866 that its president,Dr. Burroughs, should be released fromhis work of administration and devotehimself to raising money to p,ay its debts,and that Dr. N orthrup should in theinterim perform the duties of presidentof the University. While this arrange­ment was not carried out it shows thatDr. Northrup's powers were recognizedfrom the moment of his call to Chicago.In the newly organized theologicalfaculty Dr. J. B. Jackson became pro­fessor of church history, but ill healthled him to resign his work after threeyears of service. Dr. Jackson lived towitness the rise of the new universityand its union with the seminary forwhich he had worked so earnestly in itsear ly years.The seminary was at first almost with­out funds. Money for current expenseshad to be raised from year to year. Thetrustees also undertook to erect a build­ing on Rhodes avenue, immediately westof the Old University campus. Thisbuilding is still standing and is nowoccupied by the Lakeside Hospital. Itscost was estimated at about $36,000,most of which the trustees themselvessubscribed; but when it was built its costproved to be $60,000. In spite of allthat could be done to raise this amount,it was necessarv to issue bonds for$30,000, and this debt burdened the in­stitution for twenty years, and nearlydestroyed it.Among the professors whom PresidentNorthrup gathered about him in the firstdecade of his work were G. W. Warren134 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE(1867-9), Albert N. Arnold (1869-76),Edward C. Mitchell (1870-77), andRobert E. Pattison (1870-74), in bibli­cal interpretation; William Hague (1869-70) and Gen. Thomas J. Morgan (1874-77) in homiletics, and W, W. Evarts, Jr.(1874-75), in church history. These menwere graduates of Harvard, Hamilton,Colby, Amherst, Brown and Franklin.Dr. Northrup was a graduate of Wil­liams in the class of 1854.' ProfessorMorgan had been a general in the Unionarmy and was afterward Commissionerof Indian Affairs under President Har­rison.In 1877 Professor Morgan becameprofessor of church history and Dr.James R. Boise came to the seminary asprofessor of New Testament Greek. Dr.Boise had already had a distinguishedcareer as a classical scholar. It is saidthat the correct writing of Greek withthe accents was first introduced intoAmerican education by Dr. Boise. Thereis a legend that President Francis Way­land of Brown once said to him, "Youmust teach your students to write Greekwith the accents," and when Mr. Boisereplied, "But, President Wayland, I can­not write Greek myself," the presidentanswered, "You must." Mr. Boise, whohad become tutor in Greek at Brown at25, and professor there at 30, wentabroad for two years in 1850 and seemsto have been one of the first to introducethe continental pronunciation of Greekin this country. On his return fromEurope he became, in 1852, professor ofGreek in the then youthful Universityof Michigan, where he remained for six­teen years. He came to the Old Uni­versity of Chicago in 1868 and taughtthere for nine' years. His text books forclassical Greek were widely used, and thefidelity and accuracy of his scholarshipimpressed every man who came into hisclass room. Many a kindly act of theaged professor comes to my mind as Irecall my boyhood impressions of Dr.Boise at Morgan Park. For the debts of the seminary, whichat one time amounted to $50,000, had atlength driven it in 1877 to leave its build­ing on Rhodes Avenue and accept anoffer of land and a building at MorganPark. For fifteen years thereafter itremained there, increasing steadily ineducational efficiency and financial re­sources. In 1876 Thomas W. Goodspeed,associate pastor of the Second BaptistChurch, had become secretary of theseminary and undertaken with the aidof Dr. N orthrtip to relieve it of its debt.The work of establishing the seminaryfinancially, which he had hoped to accom­plish in one year, held him for thirteen,but in that time the seminary was freedfrom debt, new and convenient build­ings were built and an endowment of aquarter of a million dollars .was secured.In these tasks Dr. Northrup and Dr.Goodspeed worked together throughmany discouragements in absolute har­mony. They were further generouslysupported by the trustees of the sem­inary, who were always harmonious andloyal.In 1879 President Northrup invitedDr. William R. Harper, a youth oftwenty-three, to become instructor InHebrew and the cognate languages. Ayear later he became professor, and ina little time he made the Hebrew workthe most engrossing in the whole sem­inary. In 1881 Dr. Eri B. Hulbert suc­ceeded Dr. Morgan in the chair of churchhistory, and with Dr. Harper helped tomake the second decade of the seminary'shistory memorable. The wisdom of Dr.Northrup in seeing the qualities of thesetwo men and of putting them into. posi­tions where their powers developed andfound scope is a striking evidence ofhis ability to judge men. -Dr. Harper gave no promise of thepower to interest great audiences thatcharacterized his more mature life. Hewas extraordinarily diffident aboutspeaking in public. But his energiesspeedily overflowed the class room. ItTHE ALUMNI COUNCIL 135is a remarkable fact that in his MorganPark period; Dr. Harper developed andtested by bold's experiment the mainfeatures which long after entered intothe daring and original plan on whichhe organized the present university.Enthusiastic for the study of Hebrew,he obtained permission to use the semi ...nary building for a three weeks' summerschool of Hebrew. This was repeatedand developed into a whole series of suchmeetings held in different parts of thecountry, with the doctor himself as theguiding spirit. These summer schoolsshowed the value of close application toa few subjects, Learning by chance thata Jewish rabbi was advertising Hebrewlessons by correspondence, Dr. Harpertook up the idea and began to draw uplessons and announce courses. Twojournals, Hebraica and The HebrewStudent) were launched. A press and aprinting office were soon needed, and thePublication Society of Hebrew resulted.So it was that press and correspondence,summer quarter and majors and minors,educational advances to which most in­stitutions are still strangers, can all betraced to the extraordinary experimenta­tion of Dr. Harper's days at MorganPark.It is a striking fact that while Dr.Harper's earliest interest at MorganPark was in the Hebrew language andits kindred Semitic languages, he grad­ually turned from philology to interpreta­tion and history and then to theology. Tothese days belongs a pedagogical achieve­ment, too, which by itself was enough tospread the fame of the seminary over thecountry'; the writing of the Hebrew textbooks, the Method and the Elements.These books, at first worked out in classroom instruction, were printed at thePublication Society's press and laterissued in a score of editions by Scribner.An alumnus of the Divinity Schoolwho remembers those great days of theearly eighties may be pardoned for feel­ing that Dr. Harper belongs in a peculiar sense to the seminary, for it was Dr.Northrup who discovered him, and itwas in those historic seven years at Mor­gan Park that he found himself. Therebefore he was thirty years old he provedhimself a teacher, editor and organizerof extraordinary powers.The early eighties saw other develop­ments in the history of the seminary notless important. Its debts had finally beenmastered and a campaign for new en­dowment was undertaken. In 1881 Mr.E. Nelson Blake, the president ofthe Theological Union, offered $30,000toward $100,000 of additional endow­ment and this was secured in 1882.About this time Mr. John D. Rockefellerbecame interested in the seminary's workand he now offered $40,000 toward asecond $100,000, which was secured in1883. This brought the seminary's en­dowments up to $250,000. Mr. Rocke­feller's gifts to the seminary in 1882mark the beginning of his interest ineducational foundations in Chicago, andthe connections formed at this time weredestined to have far-reaching conse­quences.The removal to Morgan Park had nothindered the seminary's growth in num­bers. In 1867 -8 it had enrolled twentystudents. In 1881-2, 93 men were inattendance, and sixteen women, not asyet accorded equal privileges with men,were attending lectures. The growth ofthe Scandinavian departments which hadsprung up beside the regular work ofthe seminary involved additional expensefor instruction, and Dr. J. A. Edgren,after twelve years with the seminary,withdrew in 1881 to establish ail inde­pendent work. As this enterprise wasnot wholly successful, however, theSwedish students sought readmittance in1884, and the revival of this departmentside by side with -the English and Dano­Norwegian departments, was already toomuch for the endowment which a littlebefore had seemed adequate.The library of the seminary was an136 THE UNIVERSI.TY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEimportant one. To the library of Pro­fessor Hengstenberg of Berlin, securedin 1869�70, was added in 1873-4 that ofDr. George B. Ide of Springfield, Mass.The very valuable collection of old bib­lical editions and versions asembled bythe American Bible Union was given tothe seminary in 1885-6 by Dr. T. M.Colwell. These collections, with smallergifts and purchases, made a library ofabout 40,000 volumes, which afterwardpassed into the libraries of the new Uni­versity.By 1886 Professor Harper had becomeso widely known that the seminary couldno longer hold him, and he went as pro­fessor of Semitic languages to Yale,where he had taken his Ph.D. underProfessor Whitney eleven years before.That the seminary was unwilling to losehim and that he was still keenly inter­ested in its work is shown by the singulararrangement that was made for continu­ing his seminary connection for a time.He was to return for the month of J an­uary and the main work of the schoolwas to be turned over to him for themonth, in order that the students mightget as much as possible of his inspirationand direction. But this arrangement didnot last beyond two years, and one of hisstudents, Dr. Ira M. Price, just returnedfrom Leipzig, became, in 1886, associateprofessor, and in 1888 professor ofHebrew.Dr. A. J. Sage, a graduate of Roches­ter University and Seminary, came to theseminary as professor of Homiletics in1884 and remained four years. He wasa scholar and a man of culture, and con­tributed a valuable element to the sem­inary life. The work in homiletics wastaken over in 1890 by Dr. GalushaAnderson, who had been for eight yearspresident of the old University (1878-8S) and for three years president ofDenison University.The efficiency of the seminary's workwas greatly furthered in 1887 by theerection of a fireproof library building and a lecture hall named Blake Hall inhonor of Mr. E. Nelson Blake. Mr.Rockefeller showed his continued inter­est in the seminary's work by giving$10,000 for this building enterprise, andin 1890 arranged to give the seminary$50,000 toward an additional $100,000for endowment, when the inclusion ofthe seminary in the expanding Universityproj ect led to the substitution for thisof a gift of $200,000 to the Universityfor divinity work.For the first great phase in the sem­inary's history was nearing its end, andit was about to enter upon a widened andstrengthened activity, as part of the Uni­versity of Chicago. The leading men ofthe seminary, especially Dr. Northrup,Dr. Hulbert, Dr. Harper and Dr. Good­speed witnessed with the greatest regretthe decease of the Old University. Oneof the last acts of its trustees, it is inter­esting to recall, was to elect Dr. Harperto its presidency, which he had, ofcourse, declined. Overwhelmed withdebt, the Old University had closed itsdoors the very year that Dr. Harperwent to New Haven (1886). From thattime a group of men at the seminary, in­cluding Dr. Northrup, Dr. Justin A.Smith and Dr. Goodspeed, were con­stantly conferring, planning, and corre­sponding in the hope that a new institu­tion under happier auspices might befounded. They approached Mr. Rocke­feller with their plans, and were not re­pulsed. He frankly shared their con­viction that if anything promising werestarted Professor Harper was the oneman to preside over the enterprise. Otherforces were at work. The AmericanBaptist Education Society was foundedand Mr. Frederick T. Gates became itssecretary. Quite independently he be­came convinced that Chicago was theplace for a new institution. The forcesworking toward this end came into touchwith each other. Mr. Rockefeller madehis first great. SUbscription of $600,000,conditioned on the raising of $400,000 inTHE ALUMNI COUNCIL 137one year. Dr. Goodspeed left the serviceof the seminary to share with Mr. Gatesthe task of raising, this fund. The moneywas raised (1890) and the college wasassured. r n all this the seminary menactively co-operated, but with little defi­nite idea that the seminary would bemerged in the new enterprise.N ow all eyes turned to Dr. Harper andthe friends and trustees of the new insti­tution called him to the presidency. Buthe was not interested in college adminis­tration. He saw that what was mostneeded at Chicago was a university andhe accepted the presidency only when itwas agreed that Chicago should be auniversity in fact as well as name. Asecond million was provided to make thispossible, and the seminary was invitedto become the Divinity School of theUniversity. 1 well remember the sem­inary commencement at Morgan Park,in 1892, when Mr. Blake presiding, aspresident of both boards of trustees, an­nounced the union, and calling PresidentHarper and President Northrup to theplatform, in the 'words of the marriageservice pronounced the institutions theyrepresented one.So after twenty-five years of work theseminary became the Divinity School ofthe University. In the last year beforeits union with the University, the sem­inary enrolled one hundred and ninetystudents. The union involved removalto the quadrangles of the University thenhopefully begun by the erection of Cobband the adjacent dormitories, two ofwhich, since known as Middle and SouthDivinity) were set apart for divinitystudents.With the conclusion of this first quar­ter century of the institution's life, camea changeIn administration. Dr. North­rup was now sixty-seven years old, andhad for a year or two been largely re··lieved of the president's duties by, Pro­fessor Hulbert. Dr. Northrup now, whilecontinuing as professor of theology, re­signed the presidency, and Dr. Hulbert became the first dean of the DivinitySchool.The Divinity School was from the firstfortunate in being in the closest possibleway integrated with the life of the newUniversity. Not only had the movementfor the new .institution had its most activefocus among the leaders of the seminary,but the president of the University hadbeen a professor in the seminary andcounted Dr. Northrup and Dr. Hulbertamong his closest friends and advisers.President Harper now resumed his oldrelation to the Old Testament work,' be­coming head of the department in theDivinity School as well as in the uni­versity. The quarters assigned to theDivinity School on the new campus wereon the fourth floor of Cobb Hall. The­ology and church. history were at thenorth end, Old Testament and NewTestament at the south end, and homi­letics was between. As a fellow inSemitics, the present writer had libraryduties in the modest biblical library atthe southeast corner of that floor. Thislocation brought the Divinity School intoclose touch with the other parts of theuniversity, of which in the first year theDivinity students constituted nearly one­fourth.The Divinity School is not only great­ly strengthened in its work by its relationwith the university, but it is much closerto the intellectual and social life of theUniversity than is the case with sometheological schools situated at universi­ties. In early days divinity men andgraduate men could belong to the ath­letic teams, and the first football student­captain was a divinity man, A. R. E.Wyant, center rush. The next captain,Charles W. Allen, better-known as "WarHorse" Allen, was also-a theologian, andled the team for two years. At the firstWestern Intercollegiate Track Meet,which I attended, A. A. Ewing of theDivinity School scored one of Chicago'stwo firsts in the meet, winning the polevault at 10 feet. This would not now138 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEbe considered high, but it was enough.One great advantage of the new con­nection for the Divinity School was thatits biblical departments were combinedwith the University's strong departmentsof Sernitics and of Biblical and PatristicGreek, which offered courses in bothgraduate and divinity schools. This atonce gave its work in these departmentsremarkable strength and range. BesidesPresident Harper, Professors Burton,Franklin Johnson, Henderson, G. S.Goodspeed, R. F. Harper, B. F. Simpson,J. W. Conley, P. A. Nordell and C. w.Votaw, were at once added to the faculty.The first year of the Divinity School'swork was saddened by the death of Pro­fessor Simpson. Dr. W. Muss-Arnoltafterward took Dr. Nordell's place andremained in the service of the universityfor many years. In 1894 Associate Pro­fessor Shailer Mathews came to. the NewTestament department and AssistantProfessor J. W. Moncrief to ChurchHistory. James Henry Breasted beganhis work as Assistant in Egyptology atthe University in 1895. In the same yearGeorge B. Foster carne as associate pro­fessor to the department of SystematicTheology, becoming professor in 1897.In 1896 Herbert L. Willett began to giveinstruction in the Old Testament depart­ment, and in 1899 John- M. P. Smith wasadded to the same faculty. The work ofthe enlarging faculty was supplementedby the establishment in 1894 of the Has­kell lectureship in Comparative Religion,which brought many stimulating investi­gators from different countries to theUniversity as lecturers. Among otherlecturers who came to the Universityto conduct regular courses in theologicalsubjects between 1892 and 1900 wereCaspar Rene Gregory, Alexander Bal­main Bruce and George Adam Smith.In 1900 Gerald B. Smith was added tothe department of theology and thewriter began to give instruction in Bib­lical Greek, and in 1901 Dr. A. K. Parkerbecame lecturer in missions. I remember well the night, in 1894-5,.on which President Harper, after a meet­ing of the Semitic Club at his house, 5657Washington avenue, showed us Mr.Cobb's design for Haskell OrientalMuseum, which Mrs Caroline Haskellhad undertaken to provide in memory ofher husband, Frederick Haskell. Thecornerstone was laid on July 1, 1895,when Dr. John Henry Barrows deliveredthe address. A year later the buildingwas dedicated, in connection with theQuinquennial Celebration. We divinitystudents gave an ancient synagogue serv­ice, chanting the Hebrew psalms and re­sponses, before a distinguished assemblyof oriental scholars. From this time thework of the Divinity School has beencarried on in Haskell, with occasionaloverflows into Harper and the Law build­ing, and here we hope to remain untilthe site allotted to the Divinity Schoolimmediately north of Haskell is occu­pied with a permanent Divinity building.While the seminary had from the out­set designed its work for graduate men,a college degree was not required as apreliminary to graduation, until it be­came the Divinity School of the Uni­versity. At first any college degree atreasonable repute was accepted, "but the·growing strictness of the Graduate:School in requiring a college degreeequivalent to or equalized with ours, has.been followed by the Divinity School.An event of great significance in the'Divinity School's history was the estab-­lishment in January, 1897, of the "Ameri­can Journal of Theology," edited by theDivinity Faculty. The position which thejournal has taken has fully realized- theaims of its far-sighted founders. It hasjustified its name, and though three theo­logical journals have in recent years beenestablished in America, the position ofthe J ournal as a platform for scientifictheological inquiry and debate has notbeen disturbed.An important change in the require-FRATERNITIES AND SCHOLARSHIPments for the degree of bachelor ofdivinity was made in 1899 when Hebrewwas made elective.. This was followedin 1912 by the development of the voca­tional curriculum, which made Greek aswell as Hebrew elective on the part ofD. B. candidates, and provided specialgroups of courses according as studentsare preparing for the pastorate, the mis­sion field or religious education. In 1899twelve majors of the twenty-seven re­quired for the degree were prescribed.In 1915 eighteen majors are prescribed,leaving nine to' be elected in the direction.of the student's chief interest. The de­gree is given upon the basis of a finalexamination and the preparation of anacceptable thesis. In this accommoda­tion of the D. B. requirement to thegrowing interest in Sociology and Re­ligious Education the Divinity Schoolhas undertaken to meet the present realneeds of men preparing for the ministry,even at the evident sacrifice of cherishededucational traditions. While the D. B.is peculiarly the Divinity degree manydivinity students take the degrees of A.M. and Ph. D. through the DivinitySchool. The course for the latter is ofspecial interest inasmuch as it involvessatisfying the school's .requirement ofeighteen prescribed majors in generaltheological work and further satisfyingthe usual departmental demands as to. major and minor subjects for the doctor'sdegree. I t is thus equal to the ordinaryPh. D., plus a broad general theologicalprerequisite.The great loss sustained by the Uni­versity in the death of President Harperin 1906 was felt with especial keennessby the Divinity School. The precedingyear death had removed George S. Good­speed, who as a member of the Semiticfaculty had taught in the Divinity Schoolas well as the University and had beenespecially active in the conduct of. theJ ournal of Theology. In 1907 Dr. Hul­bert, who had come t6 be belovedthroughout the University, passed away. 139Professor Shailer Mathews, who hadbecome junior dean in 1899, became deanupon the death of Dr. Hulbert, at thesame time that Dr. Judson, after a yearas Acting President, assumed the Presi­dency of the University. In 1905 Pro­fessor Foster took up the work ofcomparative religion and ProfessorMathews became professor of theology.Other changes in the faculty markedthese eventful years. Dr. Anderson re­tired in 1904 and Dr. Johnson in 1908.Theodore G. Soares, Ph. D., 1894, be­came professor of homiletics in 1906, andhas since developed that department toinclude the field of religious education.Allen Hoben, Ph. D., 1901, came to thesame department in 1908 as associate pro­fessor of homiletics, and since 1909 Dr.B. A. Greene has been lecturer on prac­tical theology. 'Dr. D. D. Luckenbillwas added to the Old Testament 'facultyin 1907. In 1908 Dr. Shirley J. Casecame to the New Testament department,and Professor McLaughlin, since 1906head of the department of history in theUniversity, became head of the depart­ment of church history. The work inchurch history has since been constantlystrengthened by courses offered by mem­bers of the history faculty. ProfessorW. E. Dodd and Assistant ProfessorCurtis H. Walker offer courses in bothdepartments. In 1911 Errett Gates, Ph.D., '02, who had been assistant in theDisciples' Divinity House since 1902, be­came instructor in church history, andlast year Dr. Peter G. Mode was addedto that department.In 1912 Dr. Charles E. Hewitt, stu­dent secretary, was removed by deathafter more than twenty years of service.Again, in 1914, death removed ProfessorRobert Francis Harper, who had taughtin the Semitic department since 1892.The hospitable attitude of the DivinitySchool to all denominations led to theestablishment in 1894 of the Disciples'Divinity House, under the headship ofDr. Herbert L. Willett, who has been its140' THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZLVEdean' since that date. In 1911 the theo­logical work formerly done at LombardCollege was organized at the Universityas the Ryder (U niversalist ) DivinityHouse, with Dr. Lewis B. Fisher, for­merly president of Lombard College, asits dean. The only remaining part of itsScandinavian work still maintained bythe Divinity School, has lately been re­organized as the Norwegian Baptist Di­vinity House, under the deanship of Pro­fessor Henrik Gundersen.That all denominations find theatmosphere of the Divinity Shool con­genial and stimulating is constantly evi­denced by the wide range at denomina­tions represented in the student person­nel of the school. Every quarter findsfrom seventeen to twenty-one denomina­tions represented. The Southern Metho­dists have been especially numerous inthe summer, in which quarter the enroll­ment is usually largest. A most gratify­ing development of recent years has beenthe increase of active missionary inter­est in the school, and also the increasein the number of missionaries on fur­lough who come to the Divinity Schoolfor three or four quarters' work. It wasestimated that last spring there were inthe University as a whole more thanseventy persons who had been, or wereto be, foreign missionaries. The recentvisits of representatives of the Univers­ity, President Judson, and ProfessorsBurton, Chamberlin, Henderson, Willett,Johnson and Mathews, to the Orient havedeveloped this significant movement,which not only leavens the Universitywith missionary spirit, but will, it may behoped, strengthen and improve mission­ary work.As the year 1865 was historic in theannals of the Divinity School, the year1915 promises to be hardly less signifi­cant, for it is to witness the bringing ofthe work of the Chicago TheologicalSeminary as an affiliated seminary tothe quadrangles of the University. Thedetails of this notable event in theological education may be examined in the newDivinity circular. I t is enough to sayhere that the Seminary and the DivinitySchool retain each its independence andexercise a full reciprocity in the treat­ment of each other's courses and in­structors. The University offers the hos­pitality of its class rooms to the Semi­nary, and the valuable library of theSeminary will probably find quarters inthe University buildings. The Divinityfaculty look forward with the highest an­ticipation to the coming of PresidentDavis, Professors Graham Taylor, C. A.Beckwith, F. G. Ward, H. H. Walker�H. Augustine Smith and B. v: Robin­son, the last the registrar of the Semi­nary and a Ph. D. of the University.More than thirty men will soon be givinginstruction in the Seminary faculty andthe Divinity Faculty and Conference, aprovision which probably no theologicalschool anywhere can surpass.It will be seen that the administrationof President Judson and Dean Mathewshas been marked by the expansion of thedepartment of homiletics into PracticalTheology and Religious Education, thecorrelation of the departments of Historyand Church History, the development ofthe vocational curriculum, and the exten­sion 0 f the policy of affiliation to semi­naries' in the case of the Chicago Theo­logical Seminary.The activity of the Divinity faculty"in publication has been so extensive thatit would require a bibliographer to reportit. Their missionary, philanthropic, andchurch activities are of interest as illus­trating the way in which the theologicalprofessor must keep in touch with prac­tical work. Professor Mathews' presi­dency of the Federation of Churches ofChrist in North America-on behalf ofwhich he has spent the past winter inJapan - Dr. Henderson's well-knownconnection with the United Charities,Prison Reform and Infant Welfare, andProfessor Burton's active connectionwith the Missionary and EducationalGENERAL UNIVERSITY NEWS 141Boards of the Northern Baptist Conven­tion will illustrate this. About one-thirdof the students 'are in active charge ofchurches, thus combining theory withpractice in their theological education.The student body of the DivinitySchool is remarkable for its maturity andpreparation. N early o�e hundred of thestudents in residence at the DivinitySchool last year had secured Ph. D. de- grees or completed a three years' theo­logical course here or elsewhere, andwere here for more advanced work insome department of theology. This func­tion of advanced graduate instruction intheological work is clearly the one towardwhich the Divinity School under thebroad-minded leadership of DeanMathews is moving.EDGAR J. GOODSPEED, D. B., '97.The Ruling of Diffraction GratirigsThe interposition of a piece of plateglass between an electric lamp and theobserver causes no appreciable difference.If, however, the smoothness of the glasssurface be marred by scratches, some ofthe light is bent aside and some light isthen observed around the lamp forminga sort of hazy ring or halo about thelamp.A variation of the experiment is madeby viewing the lamp through a handker­chief, when a more or less regular pat­tern is observed about the central image.The light is said to be diffracted. Ifthe scratches on the glass surface arestraight parallel lines evenly spaced, thepattern is reduced to two, four, six, etc.,images symmetrically placed on eitherside of the neutral image. These lateralimages are due to the reinforcement ofthe light diffracted from the scratches inconsequence of their regularity. Further,this reinforcement occurs in perfectlydefinite directions, which, however, aredifferent for different colors; so thatwhile the central image is white thelateral images are brilliantly colored.The direction in which any given coloris diffracted depends on the wave-lengthof the light of this- color; or better, onthe relation which this wave-length bearsto the distance between the scratches.The colors of greater wave-length, thosetoward the red ends of the spectrum, arebent through a greater angle than thoseof shorter wave-length, toward the blue. A surface ruled in this manner(usually by the point of a diamond on asmooth flat surface either of glass or ofmetal ) is called a diffraction grating.The efficiency of this method of analysinglight is greatly .superior to the method ofthe prism.This efficiency increases with the num­ber of the rulings and the accuracy oftheir spacing. A fairly accurate meansof testing the performance of a diffrac­tive grating is furnished by _the separa­tion of the two very slightly differentcolors of the two kinds of light emittedby glowing sodium vapor. If these canbe just separated the grating is said tohave a resolving power of one thousand.For this, a grating need have a ruledsurface of only a small fraction of aninch. But there are instances of such"doublets" and of much more complexstructures whose separation requires a"resolving power" many hundred timesas great.The first gratings were made by Fraun ..hofer nearly a hundred. years ago cover­ing a ruled surface of about half an inch,A very considerable improvement wasmade by Mr. Rutherford of New Yorksome forty years ago; but an immensestep in advance was made by Rowlandof the T ohns Hopkins, who succeeded inruling "'gratings �ix inches long with aresolving power of something over onehundred- thousand-that is, capable ofseparating light whose components are142 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEa hundred times as close as those of thesodium doublet.The chief difficulty in the productionof such diffraction gratings is that ofruling over a hundred thousand lineswith exactly equal spacing.This spacing is of the order of a ten­thousandth part of an inch. If itchanges by as much as a hundredthousandth part the efficiency of thegrating is seriously impaired. To put itin another way, the position of any linein the grating should not be out by asmuch as a millionth part of an inch... For such a high order of accuracynone of the ordinary appliances of theinstrument maker are available. Theessential feature of the machine whichdoes such work is a very accurate screw-indeed, the errors of the screw mustbe no greater than those just cited; andthe long delay in the attempt to producegratings which should have a much higher "resolving power" than those ofRowland has been due entirely to thedifficulty in getting rid of these errors.The time required to produce a goodscrew is roughly proportional to itsweight; so that if it took two years toproduce a good screw ten inches long it'should take sixteen years if the screwwere twenty inches long-as a matter offact, the time taken was nearly fifteenyears.The grating ruled by means of thisscrew has about nine inches of ruledsurface with about one hundred thousandlines. The resolving power is somethingover half a million, about three timesthat of its predecessors.Still larger gratings are contemplatedand it is hoped that gratings may be pro­duced which will have a resolving powerof a million.A.

They havechecked the "Drang nach Oesten" andare now preparing a little "Drang" oftheir own ..In the months I have been attachedto a division of their army I have evermarvelled at their unfailing optimism,their lightheartedness, their "let's-go­out-kill-a-few-Germans - andvcome-back­and - finish - our - luncheon" unconcern.N ever once have I heard an echo to thesuggestion rather widely spread by theGerman press that it would have beenbetter for the Belgians to have permittedthe Germans to cross a small strip oftheir territory. They arc a people ofsimple faith in king, government, andin the justice of their cause. When sick­leave takes the Belgian soldier to thehome of some warm-hearted Frenchfamily he finds it a bit disconcerting tohave tears wept over him, and he countsthe days till he returns to the front wherehe finds it "plus gai."What is it in the temperament of theBelgian" soldier, in the makeup of hisarmy, which saves him his unfailing goodhumor through every hardship?Walloon and Fleming are fighting to­g�ther. Their regiments are inter­mingled and their old antagonisms havedisappeared. For the first time in theirhistory can we speak of Belgian idealsand not have to distinguish between twoproud little peoples pulling in oppositedirections different in race, language andtraditions, and with nothing in commonbut their love of liberty and their name. The WalIoon, from the great industrialvalleys of the Ourthe, the Meuse, andthe Lesse, is a Latin: versatile, effusive,warm-hearted. The Fleming of thebroad sandy plains of Flanders, is stolid,silent and often morose. Only in theirKermesses have I ever seen these stal­wart peasants unbend, and then but tothe gentle influence of their Schnappes.At these village fairs, where they havesuch an immense time, they more oftenthan not .end them with a big free-for-alland broken pates all around. The com­mune of Merchem is especially noted forthis peculiar form of jollification; thoughthe peasants there have not an occupa­tion which should especially excite theirnerves-they raise chickens.Both Walloon and Fleming have agreat love for the soil. Their little plotof earth, the humble thatch they clingto as home means more to them thanany uncertain fortune in distant lands.After the storm of battle is passed, tome, the most pathetic touch to the waris the emaciated black figures which wan­der aimlessly amid the shapeless massesof brick and stone, and stare in a blankpurposelessness after every passing regi­ment. At Nieuport, that sleepy old townwhere now shells are still falling aftertwo months of bombardment, I know ofsome six families who have not desertedtheir homes.

The needfor such a body has been growing forsome time past, and last fall, at Miss.Talbot's suggestion and with her help,the present Council was formed. It iscomposed of representatives of all thewomen's organizations of the University;the University aides are ex-officio mem­bers. The Council is divided into fourcommittees, the membership which hascharge of the personnel of the Council,the Administrative, which is working outsuggestions and plans for the administra­tion of Ida Noyes Hall, the Calendar,which makes out a social calendar of theevents of the different organizations atthe beginning of each quarter, that con­flict of dates and overlapping functionsmay be avoided, and the Social NeedsCommittee, which is working on the un­solved problems of the social life of theUniversity women.The Council has improved the appear­ance of Lexington by regulations in re­gard to posters, notes, etc., and hasposted a list of organizations to whichUniversity women may belong. A socialrally was held one afternoon the last ofFebruary, under the auspices of theSocial Needs Committee, to which allwomen not connected with any organiza­tion on the campus were sent invitations.THE LETTER BOXRepresentatives of the League, W.

SoI believed before I came here, and so Iam convinced now that I am here. _. . .Things are not as up to date as in Chi­cago, to be .sure, but there is the samemultifariousness, the same atmosphere ofearnest endeavor, the same suggestion ofthe complexity and vastness of humanlife. One feels that he is as much inthe midst of a place where things aredoing, here in N anking as in Chicago.The things may be slightly different butthey are doing nevertheless."S. S. Visher, '14, has been elected aFellow of the American Association forthe Advancement of Science. He is theauthor of a volume recently issued bythe South Dakota Geological 'Survey,Bulletin 6, 1914.Harry John Corper, '11, has been ap­pointed head of the laboratories of theNew Municipal Tuberculosis Hospital,Chicago. .The following is extracted fromScience of August 21, 1914:The tables given below on the doctor­ates of philosophy conferred by Ameri­can universities for 1914 show that thenumber of degrees for the first time ex­ceeded 500, being an increase of 31 over191�, but of only 18 over 1912. Twohundred and forty-one of the 502 degreeswere in the natural and exact sciences,which is about the same proportion asfor all the years covered by these statis­tics, during which 2,786 degrees havebeen conferred in the natural and exactsciences and 2,978 in the other universitysubjects. For several years the number of degrees in the sciences was increas­ing the more rapidly, but this does nothold for the past two years, the numberof degrees in the sciences being aboutthe same as in 1911, and considerablysmaller than in 1912. Harvard, Colum­bia and Chicago conferred in 1914 aboutthe same number of degrees and abouttwice as many as Yale and Johns Hop­kins. These two latter universities arenot maintaining the position they heldfrom 1898 to 1907. Cornell, Wisconsin,Illinois and Princeton conferred this yearmore degrees than ever before, the ad­vance of the last two institutions beingremarkable. Princeton conferred in 1914nearly as many degrees as ·during the tenyears from 1898 to 1907, and Illinoisconferred over four times as many de­grees as during that period. Clark andMichigan, like Yale and the Johns Hop­kins, inaintained only about the placethey held ten years ago. The number ofdegrees 'conferred by Harvard is largerthan! it has ever been, while there is adecrease at Columbia compared with thepast three years.Turning to the table referring to thedegrees conferred in the sciences, wefind that Chicago maintains its lead,though it was this year equaled by Har­vard and surpassed by Cornell. Colum­bia takes the place" of the J ohns HopkinsUniversity as the university having con­ferred the most degrees in the sciencesnext to Chicago, while Cornell followsvery closely. In the separate. sciences,chemistry, as always, is in the lead, with71 degrees, followed by botany, with 34degrees. The increase in the number ofdegrees in botany is noteworthy, it beingnearly three times the average from 1898to 1907. There were also conferred thisyear 9 degrees in agriculture and 6 inbacteriology, In both zoology and inmathematics 2S degrees were conferred.In subjects other than the naturalsciences, English and history lead, sur­passing any of the sciences except. chem­istry.

His present address is 3410East First street, Los Angeles, Cal.ATHLETICSBasketbal1.-Chicago and Wisconsinplayed off the tie for second place in theConference on Friday, March 12, toolate for comment in this number. Asthe game was played in Bartlett, Chicago,which defeated Wisconsin at Madison,was thought to have the better chance.Illinois won a clean-cut championship,going through without a defeat. Thestanding up to March 12 was:W. L. Pet.Illinois ................ 12 0 1.000Chicago ............... 8 3 .727Wisconsin ............. 8 3 .727Northwestern .......... 5 4 . 556Minnesota ............. 5 5 .500Purdue ............... 4 8 .333Iowa .................. 2 6 .250Ohio ' .................. 3 9 .250Indiana ............... 1 9 .100The biggest crowd ever in Bartlett sawas fast a game as was ever played therewhen Illinois defeated Chicago 19-18 on March 6. It was won in the last fewseconds of play, after Chicago had led11-9 at the end of the first half. Capt.Stevenson played much the best game ofhis career, making three field baskets andeight out of nine free throws-in all,fourteen of Chicago's eighteen points.Stegeman and George also played beau­tifully; Kixmiller was quite up to form;DesJardien not quite. If he had been,Chicago would have won. As a whole,the season has been splendidly successful,the men working together with unusualneatness. Figures of the season in de­tail will be published next month .Track-s-All three dual meets havebeen won easily. Purdue was defeatedat Lafayette on February 13 by a scoreof 600 to 25,% ; Northwestern at Evans­ton on February 27 by 54 to 23; andOhio State in Bartlett on March 5 by56 to 21. The team is well rounded.The sprinters, Capt. Ward, Barancik,Knight and Agar, have won all four160 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEplaces in the dash in each meet. Capt.Ward has won the hurdles easily everytime; Dismond the quarter; and Stouttwice the half and once the mile. Camp­bell won the only mile race for which hewas eligible, against Purdue. Goodwinhas won the two-mile in all three meetswithout being pushed. Fisher has wonthe pole-vault three times, Des J ardienthe shot, and Whiting and Gorgas havetwice won the high jump. Chicago hastaken the relay easily each time. As forrecords, Campbell reduced the mile rec­ord of 4 :42 in Bartlett. to 4.362-5, andStout further reduced it to an announced4 :33, which is said to have been 4 :31 inreality. Dismond has broken Daven­port's Bartlett record in the quarter,54-4, by a fifth of a second, and has runthree laps in competition in 47 :4, whichis about equivalent to a 53-second quar­ter. The relay team ran 12 laps in Bart­lett in 3 : 18 :2, breaking the old record of3 :19, which had stood for seven years;the team running was Captain Ward,Cornwell, Breathed, and Dismond.Fisher does 11-6 in the vault, DesJar­dien about forty feet in the shot, andWhiting and Georgas 5-10 in the highjump. Breathed and Cornwell in thequarter, Powers in the mile, and Merrillin the half are excellent second-stringmen; otherwise there is a dearth offillers-in. In the Conference Barancik,Knight, Ward, Dismond, Stout, Camp­bell (if eligible), Goodwin, and Gorgasare practically certain to place; in whatpositions depends on Wisconsin and Illi­nois, except for Dismond, who will winthe quarter unless he breaks his leg. Heis the best quarter-miler the West hasever seen. Chicago should win the Con­ference relay also.Baseball.- The baseball schedule for1915 is as follows:April 12-Cubs at West Side Park.April 16-Iowa at Iowa City.April 21-Wisconsin at Chicago.April 24-Minnesota at Chicago.May I-Iowa at Chicago. May 5-Chinese University at Hawaii.May 8-Indiana at Chicago.May I4-0hio State at Columbus.May IS-Purdue at Chicago.May I8-Wisconsin at Madison.May 22-Illinois at Chicago.May 28-Illinois at Urbana.June 2-Purdue at Lafayette.June 4-Alumni at Chicago.This includes eleven Conferencegames, six at home and five away. Therewill of course be many practice gameswith business and semi-professionalteams. The outlook for the season is notclear. Hart, a sophomore, and Cole, ajunior, will catch; DesJardien and Shullwill do most of the pitching, and prob­ably alternate at first base, though F. B.McConnell may get that position; Colewill play second most of the time; R. N.McConnell will be at short, Cavin atthird, and Capt. Gray and Kixmiller inthe outfield. Another outfielder must bedeveloped, and there is little material. Itseems as if a good first team was avail­able, but if anyone is hurt-well, let ushope nobody will be.Football.-The autumn schedule,just published, includes six Conferencegames and one outside eleven, the Has­kell Indians. Six games are played athome, one, with Minnesota, away. North­western begins the season and Illinoiscloses it. For the first time in yearsthere is no vacant mid-season Saturday.The Haskell Indians were taken on be­cause a date could not be agreed uponwith Iowa, which insisted that its suc­cess was jeopardized by playing early­a singular view. The schedule follows:October 9-Northwestern on Staggfield.October 16-Indiana on Stagg field.October 23-Ptirdue on Stagg field.October 30- Wisconsin on Stagg field.November 6-Haskell Indians onStagg field.November 13-Minnesota at Minne­apolis.November 20-Illinois on Stagg field.
