COLLEGE CHAMPIONSHIP OF AMERICA, AT PHILADELPHIA, APRIL 24, 1915.- The University of ChicagoMagazineVOLUME VII MAY 1915 NUMBER 7The June Reunion"Come Back to the Campus" is the old song which this year's alumni re­union press agent must set to new music.; The first event in connection with the reunion this year comes when theLaw School Alumni have their annual dinner on Friday, June 4, at 6 :30, atHotel La Salle.From June 4 to June 15, inclusive, will be happenings of general and spe­cific interest to every man or woman who ever took a course at the university.It is to be understood that the reunion is of former students as well as gradu­ates.In accordance with the accepted plan of having class reunions each yearfor three years after graduation and at five-year intervals thereafter, therewill be reunion meetings of the classes of 1895, 1900, 1905, ] 910, 1912, 1913and 1914.The 1895 reunion will be at 6 p. m., Thursday, June 10. The committeeincludes Charlotte H. Foye, Jennie Bloomer and Dr. Ralph Webster. On thesame evening the class of 1900 will have dinner at the Quadrangle·. Club. Thisreunion dinner is in charge of a committee including Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Eaton,Edith M. Kohlsaat and Charles F. Roby.Elizabeth Robertson, Clyde Blair and Hugo Friend are planning for the1905 reunion dinner at 6 p. m. on June 12. Tentative plans of the class of 1910provide for their dinner at 6 on this date at the Windermere hote1._ Harry O.Latham is at the head of a large committee in charge.The class of 1909 will have its reunion dinner at 6 p. m., Thursday, June10, at the Quadrangle Club. Fred Carr heads the committee.The three classes still in the yearly reunion stage have completed plansfor their gatherings. The class of 1912 will have a picnic on June 26 at thefarm of James Dymond and Ellen McNeish Dymond, at Lake Zurich, Ill."Midnight Special," a class paper giving alumni news and reunion plans, waspublished and circulated among the members of the class some time ago, Alarge committee headed by Isabel Jarvis has charge of the reunion plans.The class of 1913 will have its dinner in Lexington Commons at 6 p. m. onThursday, June 10. Copies of the "1913," a periodical with class news andcomment, will be circulated. J ames Donovan is chairman of the committeein charge. An indoor baseball game in Sleepy Hollow with the men of 1914will precede the dinner, . .An elaborate reunion is planned by last year's class, 1914. On Thursday,June 10, a chicken pot-pie dinner will be held in the yard of the Alpha DeltaPhi House. On Friday, June 11, the class will attend the University Sing in abody. The class song will have a' separate place on the Sing program. - OnSaturday the meri will have a dinner at 6 p. rn. at Vogelsang's and the womenat the Hotel Del Prado. 'On Sunday afternoon, June 13, there will be a tea atthe home of H�rvey Harris, 5000, Ellis avenue.204 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEOn Friday a reception to both men and women will be given by theReynolds Club in the club house between 4 and 6 o'clock. At 5 the CollegeAlumni Association holds its business meeting.At 6 there will be special alumni dinners at the fraternity houses. A din­ner announced for the "Class of 1492" will be served to alumni and others inthe Commons at this time.The University Band will give a concert from 7 :30 to 8 :00, preceding theUniversity Sing. It is believed that the Sing will be broader in its appeal andmere representative than ever before. As in other years, the fraternities andLincoln and Washington Houses will sing, coming on in reverse order of theirestablishment, There will be a special song by the women of the university.An innovation will be the class song by the members of 1914.University songs by the whole assemblage wi11lend 9- tone of .inforrnalityto. the occasion. The words of the songs will be thrown by a large stereopti­con upon a screen hanging on one of 'the buildings. This stereopticon willalso be used to give the name of the group that is marching in to sing.Seats will be provided by placing bleachers from Bartlett Gymnasium upclose to the Botany building. These will be for the use of relatives of th-osein the Sing. Machines will be allowed to park in the driveway as heretofore.A series of boxes on top of Hutchinson Cafe and the court leading intoMandel Hall will be placed at the disposal of the president, the trustees, thefaculty and their guests.Additional significance will attach to the Sing in view of the fact that itwill be attended by hundreds of interscholastic men present to take part in themeet the next day. Lawrence Whiting, in charge of the Sing, believes it willbe a splendid opportunity to demonstrate the spirit of the univer-sity, HelenRicketts is marshailing the university women for the Sing. Men's organi­zations on the campus will be brought in line by Roderick Peattie and EarlShilton.At 12 o'clock, Saturday, June 12, the alumnae luncheon will be held inLexington Cafe. Miss Hazel Stillman is in charge of the arrangements. At1 :30 the Interscholastic meet will start on Stagg Field.On Tuesday, June 15, which is Convocation Day, the Association ofDoctors of Philosophy will meet at noon at the Quadrangle Club. The Ph.D.'s will have their reunion luncheon at half-past twelve, tendered by theUniversity through President Judson. On the day before, June 14, theClassics building will be dedicated.Members of any class desiring information as to their reunion or wishingto make reservations for a class dinner, may address their class in care of thealumni office at the university. Every effort will be made by those in chargeto. have former students as well as alumni take part in the exercises.Events and DiscussionAs a result of the discussion at themeeting of the Chicago Alumni Clubon April 27, of which a full accountis given elsewhere, twoAlumni Club committees have beenActivities appointed and have setto work. The first, amembership committee of which D. W.Ferguson, '10, is chairman, will en- deavor to reach every man in Chicagowho has ever attended the universityand at least give him an opportunityto decline to join the Alumni Club.The second committee on scholarshipsand the Loan Fund is headed by W m.Scott Bond, '97; George O. Fair­weather '06, is secretary; and the othermembers are James Weber Linn, '97;EVENTS AND DISCUSSIONWilloughby G. Walling, '99, and Har­vey B. Harris, '14. This committee,with DeanAngell, is now studying thesituation and "'vill, before taking finalaction, make a full announcement ofits plans to the Alumni. The activi­ties of the club will in no way inter­fere with the plans of the College As'­sociation, on a larger scale, which maybe expected presently to be announced.Any suggestions from Alumni wouldbe welcomed by the secretary of thecommittees; address 134 S. La Salle,telephone Franklin 214.The address at the 95th convocationwill be delivered by Mr. TheodoreWarburg, of Baltimore. Mr. Warburgwas in 1 9 1 2 - 1 3The Ninety-fifth United States min­Convocation ister to' Belgium.He is a trustee ofJohns Hopkins, president of the Mu­nicipal Art Society, chairman of theexecutive committee of the AmericanPeace Congress, president of the So­ciety for the Judicial Settlement of In­ternational Disputes, and the author ofseveral books on problems of econom­ics and peace movements. In connec­tion with the convocation, on themorning of the same day, June 15, willoccur the dedication of the Classicsbuilding, which has been in usethroughout the quarter. No alumnusshould miss a I journey through theClassics building. Surely no otherinstitution in the world has a moreadmirable home for the study of an­cient languages.Why the thought of this uniquebuilding should stir one to wonderafresh at the slenderness of thebond which unitesTown and Gown Chicago the cityand Chicago theUniversity, the editor does not know.Yet the wonder comes. \ Just now inthe spring sunlight the quadranglesare glowing with a beauty, surroundedwith a stateliness of architecture, that 205nothing else in Chicago can approach,In those splendid buildings are nowconducting experiments of interna­tional interest. The roster of thefaculty contains many men whose rep­utation is secure wherever scholarsmeet and many others who are grow­ing rapidly into equal reputation.What does Chicago, the city, knowabout them? Through individualslike Dr. Henderson, Prof. Mead, Alder­man Merriam, the politico-social condi­tions of the city have been greatlyaffected, it is true, and on the otherhand, many individual Chicagoans havegiven time and thought to the uni­versity. But on the whole there has beenno close relation of city life and univer­sity life, no sense of identity in inter­ests and little initial understanding.Harvard and Boston, the University ofMinnesota and Minneapolis-St. Paul,even Columbia and New York City,are far closer. Whether the city orthe university is more the suffererfrom this state of affairs who can say?Whether it will change presently, andto rebel against it is to be impatient withthe gods, again who can say? Butthat the change is most likely to comethrough identification with the life ofthe city of a trained, alert, intelligent,loyal body of alumni, who hav.e atheart the interests of both town andgown, who know what both need andwhat both offer-is not this the truth?Reference has just been made to theUniversity of Minnesota. Sometimes amember of an endowed university isinclined to feel regret atMinnesota the comparative separa-tion of his institutionfrom the people at large, to envy thestate universities with their intimaterelation to the commonwealths theyserve. But sometimes, as recently inthe case of Wisconsin, and still morerecently in the case of Minnesota, hediscovers that the advantages are notall on one side. A legislature is an un-206 THE UNIVERSLTY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEaccountable body. Two years agoevery cent, asked for ·by the Univer­sity of Minnesota was granted by thestate. This year the cut in the neededappropriations was striking. Take asingle instance-university extension.In the last two years the work of theuniversity in spreading through thestate an interest in its plans and meth­ods and ideals has been remarkable;as successful as it has been economicaland arduous. Lectures, courses, dra­matic performances have all been givento big audiences in a very large num­ber of towns. Result: This year theappropriation for university extensionwas reduced in committee from $40,000to $25,000, exactly half, by the way,of what had been asked. Such thingsseem a pity. Yet one thing is cer­tainly true. There are no alumni pub­lications in the country quite so inter­esting to the uninvolved reader todayas those of Minnesota and Wisconsin.Why? Because in them one finds realinaterial-a real chance to study popu­lar education in the making. On thewhole, we continue to envy GeorgeEdgar Vincent, '96, his opportunitiesrather more than we do any other mannow in the field of education.Why, by the way, do the variouseditors of western alumni magazinesnot establish a system for supplyingeach other news? TwoA Clearing- or three hundred wordsHouse a month on the princi-pal matter or mattersof interest at Illinois, Michigan, Wis­consin, written by a man who has areal knowledge of the facts, and sentto each of his fellow editors for pub­lication, would be read with eagernessby the alumni of other institutions, andsurely would do much toward bringingabout a better understanding amongthem all. Not a list of the triumphsof the track team, or even a state­ment of those elected to Phi Beta Kap­pa, but a little account, a little discus- sion, of things that really concernedthe � university, addressed to men andwomen who happened to find anotherplace to grow in, but who do not thinkthemselves -therefore to be the peoplewith whom wisdom will die. Thesuggestion is made for what it is worth.This 'editor, at all events, would beglad to exchange such a statement withany fellow-worker in the vineyard.The first act of the Blackfriars per­formance this year, which burlesquedthe ordinary college comic opera, was,to many people, en­Undergraduates' joyable not only forDrama and Ideas its broad fun, notonly even for itsreal characterization of types, but alsofor the detachment and, if one may sayso without offense, the intellectualityof its point of view. It had the quality,distant and faint of course, but thequality rather of Shaw than of GeorgeM. Cohan, as the "Student Superior"of 1914 had still more strongly. Inthis connection the following passagefrom a recent Maroon editorial may bein teresting : .To the follower of Blackfriar shows therewas something decidedly lacking in "AllThat Glitters," the musical offering of theMichigan Union at Orchestra hall, Tuesdaynight. The piece was admirably staged,there were no hitches, there were-marvel­ous to tell-some good voices, the costum­ing was clever, and part of the music wasgood. The difference between this play andthe kind presented by the Friars, particu­larly last year and the present year, seemsto lie in the ideal for which each of theclubs is striving.At Michigan the aim appears to be tostage an interesting extravaganza with menplaying the parts of women. At Chicago,we attempt to present what might 'be calleda light opera except for the fact that gen­erally we are handicapped by the lack ofgood voices. We wish to have a good"book'i-c-the "book" of "All that Glitters"was so weak as to be negligible-with care­fully written lyrics, whose subject matteris decided mainly by the context of theplay. In other respects there is no ma­terial difference.To say that one organization has a bet­ter aim than the other is to set up anarbitrary opinion as a standard.

The budget receiptswere $1,693,813.90 for the year, anincrease of $116,787.76 over 1912'-13.Of this increase $65,998.80 is from stu­dents' fees. Of the total budget re­ceipts 38.6 per cent were from fees­which shows that the students pay alittle less than two-fifths of the cost ofwhat they get. The budget surplusfor the year was $747.24. The giftspaid in during the year totaled $1,320,-010.63, of 'which $1,292,014.33 was forcapital purposes. Of this $626,803.33was added to endowment and $665,211was received for buildings and furnish­ings. The former sum included $600,-000 from Mr. Rockefeller and $26,-895.28 from the estate of Charles T.Yerkes; the latter $400,000 from Mr.Rockefeller (for the memorial chapel),$250,000 from Mr. Rosenwald forRosenwald Hall, $10,175 from Mr. H.F. McCormick for a racquet court inthe Stagg Field stands, and $5,000from Mr. F. H. Rawson for the teamrooms in the stands. University Col- lege, the University Press, and the va­rious University Commons were alloperated with a slight surplus.Concerning the grandstands onStagg Field, which were completedduring the year covered, at a total cost,including the wall about the Field, of$236,729.47, the report says:The seating capacity of the grandstand" issuch as to provide for about 8,000 spectators.Temporary stands on the east side of the fieldand at the two ends are used, so that onspecial occasions accommodation can be hadfor approximately 20,000. The erection of agrandstand providing a capacity for not morethan about 8,000 is a matter of distinct Uni­versity policy. Indeed, if a gift should be of­fered the University of perhaps half a milliondollars to provide for an elaborate stadiumseating some 50,000 to 75,000 spectators thePresident would advise the Board of Trus­tees to decline it. The present provision isentirely adequate to care for the students andimmediate friends of the University properlyat such public athletic contests as it may bedesirable to have. It is not the function ofthe University to provide at great cost spec­tacular entertainment for enormous crowds ofpeople.Concerning education the reportsays:In the reports of 1909-10, 1910':'11, and 1911-12, it was pointed out that the work of thefirst two college years was very largely ofsecondary-school grade, and that with proper210 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEefficiency in the secondary schools it oughtnot to be necessary, as a prerequisite to workof University character, that so much shouldbe required of a secondary nature. . . .Certain definite steps of progress have beenmade. The University Elementary School haseliminated the eighth grade. By suitable re­arrangements and adjustments the work ofthe school is finished satisfactorily in sevenyears. The first class to be admitted to theUniversity High School on this basis enteredthe High School in the autumn of 1913, andfinished the first year of high-school workwith the close of the Spring Quarter, 1914.The report of the Principal of the HighSchool makes the following comment:"Judged by the results of the year's work,the elimination of the eighth grade in ourElementary School has proved a complete suc­cess. The pupils promoted to the HighSchool at the end of the seventh grade madea distinctly better record in each subject dur­ing the year than the larger number of pupilscoming from schools requiring eight years."As the conditions attending this class werein every respect normal, it seems clear thatthis one step has been successful. It is provedthat the work of the elementary school doesnot need eight years for its proper comple­tion. Indeed, it need not be occasion forsurprise if subsequent experience may provethe possibility of still further adjustment. . .The Curriculum Committee of the Facultyof the Colleges submitted a report which wasapproved by that Faculty and later by theSenate. The policy of the Faculty contem­plates the recognition of quality of work donein the secondary schools as a sufficient reasonfor the elimination of a certain amount of thequantity of secondary work required in thecolleges, A student whose standing in hissecondary school course is sufficiently high,may eliminate the equivalent of one full yearof Junior, College secondary-school work. Onthe other hand, students not qualified for thiselimination will receive full credit toward adegree for such work only if it is done inthe first college year. If such work is post­poned until after the first college year, it isprogressively reduced in credit value, so thatif done in the fourth college year it has nocredit value at all.Explanation of the reference in thepreceding paragraph to "recognition ofquality of work done in the secondaryschool," is found in Dean Angell's re­port, which says:The university will accept selected studentswho come with fifteen units of high. gradework, giving some bonus for that work, butit will require that such students maintainhigh standing in the colleges for at least twoyears before the school credentials becomefinally valid. In other words a student whocame in on such a plan and then failed to'carryon work successfully would be re- quired to make good the deficiencies ex­hibited in his training. In . practice, no doubt,he would be called upon for more than the36 maj ors required for graduation. The U ni­versify thus retains control over the entiresituation, and gives its final verdict upon theachievement of the student, not only in termsof his high-school record, but also in terms ofhis collegiate record. . . . In any such planthe school shall agree that the number ofcourses taken by anyone student shall belimited, and shall in no case exceed four unitsa year. . . . It is further provided thatthe granting of excess credit for courses car­ried at high grade shall depend, riot upon thepassing of a few courses with high marks,but upon the ability to carry constantly at ahigh level a number of different courses, andparticularly in the second half of the high­school course.Dean Talbot's report on the womenof the University shows that on thefaculties there were in 1913-14 twenty­five women, including two professors,two associate professors, four assistantprofessors, seven instructors, four as­sociates, and six assistants. Therewere twenty-six women among theofficers of instruction of the Collegeof Education. Eleven women receivedthe degree of Doctor of Philosophy, ofwhom five were bachelors of the Uni­versity; and there were nineteenwomen fellows, of whom eight werebachelors of Chicago.The report of H. F. Mallory, secre­tary of the Correspondence Study De­partment, shows that 3,240 studentswere at work in 368 different courses,given by 126 instructors. For thesixth y�ar in succession one out ofevery five students who matriculatedin the University did so through theCorrespondence Study department.The Examiner offers certain statis­tics of general interest. Five hundredand fifty students from 280 institutionslocated in 41 States, the District ofColumbia, the Philippines, and fourforeign countries, were admitted withadvanced standing., Concerning stu­dents dismissed for poor work the Ex­aminer says:Of the 553 students admitted in the AutumnQuarter, 1913, to the Junior Colleges, on cer-THE PRESIDENTS REPORT I9I3-I914 211tificates from accredited secondary schools,29 were, because of the low grade of theirwork in the .secondary schools, "admitted onprobation.'" .� .In each instance" the student was especiallyrecommended by his principal as, in his judg­ment, capable of doing creditable college work.These 29 probationary cases were exceptionsto the regulation of the University that stu­dents. admitted shall have graduated from anaccredited secondary school with an averagegrade higher than the pass mark of the schoolby at least 25 per cent between that pass markand 100. Eleven of this number were duringthe year "dismissed without dishonor for poorwork," 4 "may not re-register without facultyaction," 5 are "on probation the next quarterin residence." Nine only, by creditable workin the Colleges, were removed from probation.Of 38 other students who were admittedto the Colleges of the University during theyear on certificates from secondary schoolsand who were either "dismissed without dis­honor for poor work," or "may not re-registerwithout faculty action" the high-school rec­ords of 18 were but little above the minimumrequired for admission to the Colleges, while5 had completed their secondary-schoolcourses with creditable grades and 15 withgood grades. The 18 low-grade studentscame from the large public and private highschools in Chicago and vicinity. Only 4 ofthe students entering the Colleges of the Uni­versity from these schools with "fair" gradesand 3 with "good" grades were either dis­missed for poor work or not allowed to re­register without faculty action. All the otherstudents who entered with good grades andwho failed in college work came from highschools where the instructional and materialequipment are probably not up . to the stand­ards of the best schools in Chicago and vi­cinity.From the above and the facts which werereported a year ago, it appears reasonablyconclusive that. students do in the JuniorColleges practically the same grade of workas they did in the secondary schools-at leastthat those who complete their secondary­school course with low standing may not rea­sonably be expected to carry college workwith credit. Evidence is accumulating whichit is believed will in time justify the Univer­sity in demanding of students admitted to itsColleges a higher grade of secondary-schoolwork than is called for by the present regu­lations.The number of volumes in the Uni­versity Libraries on June 30, 1914, was431,544, of which 116,552 were in theGeneral Library, 282,925 in depart­mental libraries, and 31,167 in theSchool of Education; 2,532 differentperiodicals were on the University list;$6,316.60 less was spent for books than in the preceding year. The report ofDirector Burton says:Some of 'the results of twenty-two years ofdevelopment of the various departmental li­braries, with a limited measure of co-ordina­tion and oversight, may be cited by way ofillustration. As many as five or six sets ofcertain periodicals are taken in as many dif­ferent libraries. In some cases no library hasa complete set, although a consolidation oftwo or three sets would yield a completeseries. A periodical discontinued by one li­brary is subscribed for by another withouttransfer of the back volumes and with theresult that both libraries have an incompleteset. Lives of the same individual by differentauthors are found in three or four differentlibraries. Various editions of the same bookare found in different libraries. As a resultof a lack of systematic effort to fill gaps or tokeep up eurrent sets, publications of societiesand institutions and reports of government de­partments and bureaus are in many cases seri­ously incomplete. Libraries, having outgrowntheir quarters, have been forced to resort tomethods of shelving and storage which havecaused . damage to books. Owing to the largenumber of libraries requiring separate read­ing-rooms, attendants, and equipment, fundshave not been sufficient to provide adequatestaff and equipment for all, and as a resultbooks have been inadequately catalogued andinformation concerning the resources of thelibraries is sometimes difficult for the readerto obtain.From these conditions and from the factthat our central catalogue is even yet farfrom complete, it results that there is oftengreat difficulty in finding out what materialis available on a given sub] ect and in bringingthat material together for the use of a givenstudent or body of students. Of these andother related problems it is highly importantthat a solution should be found as speedily aspossible. -At the request of the Library Board, a com­mittee consisting of Professors Bensley, Gale,Judd, Manly, Merrill, Salisbury, and Thomas,has been appointed .to consider the wholeproblem in conference with the Director. andAssociate Director of the Libraries and todevise, if possible, some method which willremedy the evils of the situation while con­serving all the real advantages of the presentsystem. This committee will enter upon theactive discharge of its duties in the autumn.The financial statement of the De­partment of Physical Culture and Ath­letics for the year ending June 30, 1914,is appended ':Receipts ExpensesBalance, June 30, 1913-On deposit $1,837.36Petty cash.......... 1,000.00---$ 2,837.36Football 75,841.03 $37,562.34Track . . . . . . . . . .. 1,809.89 3,218.84Baseball .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. 2,683.58 3,527.55212 THE U]\,IVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEBasket-ball .Interscholastic .Swimming .Wrestling .Cross-couutry funning .Tennis .Fencing ..............•.......Gymnastics .University instruction .Permanent equipment. .Field .Bleachers .General . 4,047.00662.55123.0010.832,079.4010.8336.84 3,217.151,596.41431.26269.39202.661,096.45318.58273.967,024.99236.814,091.8712,205.055,242.5915.0013.1579.64 Lexington Gymnasium .Women's athletics .University Band .Other activities-Conference track meet. .High school track .High school football .High school swimming .Balance, June 30, 1914-On deposit. $8,123.80Petty cash 1,000.00 . 12.2322.451,300.003,767.10208.841,676.7012.023,777.00203.452,398.749.659,123.30Total ..............•... $9p,638.94 $96,638.94Laying the Cornerstone of Ida Noyes HallI only wish that all the women whoever attended the University mighthave been there at noon, April 17,Laying the Cornerstoneto join with the several hundredAlumnae who sent up a cheer and letgo of a hundred and fifty balloons, as the corner stone of Ida Noyes Hallslowly but firmly settled into place. Itwas not a big cheer, for too many ofus were choking back queer feelings inour throats, and more than one visionwas blurred as those balloons rosehigher and higher and drifted towardthe West down the old Midway.We Alumnae were a queer mixtureof light-heartedness' and seriousness,of gaiety and soberness. We all car­ried maroon and white paper parasols,and each wore a red rose. These, to­gether with' our balloons, gave us adecidedly festive appearance. Beneathour roses our hearts beat a regulartattoo. Some thought us too gaylooking for the occasion, but whyshouldn't we have been gay? It wasChristmas and New Year's and Fourthof July and Thanksgiving Day allrolled into one, and we were fairlybubbling over with joy and happiness.Possibly if you could have been there,girls, if you could only see that build­ing, which is growing daily over on theMidway, that dream of dignity andstrength and combined purpose, whichis to contain luxuries as well as com­forts and necessities, possibly you, too,would feel repaid for the years of wan­derings, the cramped quarters, themakeshift buildings and the generallack of everything. Somehow, I havethe feeling that that building will bedifferent from any in our' quadrangles,for the souls and hearts, the dreamsand hopes, the longings and needs ofLAYING CORNERSTONE OF IDA NOVES HALLso many thousands of women arebeing buV� into it and realized by it.Whenever I Jook at it, I say to my­self, "God bless you, Mr. Noyes."W ell, to resume, the day was ideal,the brightest of suns and the bluestof skies. The formal exercises wereshort, and then we adjourned to Lex­ington. As President Judson expressedit, "'Twas but a block from thesublime to the ridiculous." I wish_ you could see "Old Lex" in her dotage,all bolstered with props inside andout. Let us hope she lives to fulfillher mission, and then dies an easydeath. Four hundred of us sat downto lunch. Then followed a short pro­gram of speeches, with President J ud­son as toastmaster. Katherine Big­gins, '15, President of the Women'sAdministrative Council; Jessie Heck­man, '11, President of the AlumnaeClub; Miss Gertrude Dudley and Mr. LaVerne Noyes, responded to toasts.After this more or less serious part ofthe program, "stunts" were contributedby various University organizations­the Y. W. C. A., Neighborhood Clubs,W. A. A., Senior Class and AlumnaeClub. The Seniors in cap and gowninitiated a very pretty custom whichwe hope to see handed down. Theypresented to Ida Noyes Hall a hugebrass candlestick containing a lightedcandle. Reciting appropriate verses,each Senior in turn lighted from thelarge candle a small one, which theyall held as they chanted a song./The Alumnae contributed a stere­opticon lecture, purporting to be froma manuscript found in the year 3,000A. D., in the Great Lake region.Phoebe Bell Terry, '09, dressed for thepart, played the Professor as onlyPhoebe could, and Nina Beall, '14,managed the stereopticon machine asonly Nina could.

Mrs. Judson,who was instrumental in bringing allthis about, was unable to be there be­cause of illness. It was a big disap­pointment both for her and for us, andwe showed our feelings as we couldby serenading her on the lawn after­wards.Well, it was a great day! Onewhich will be writ large in the annalsof the women of the University andof the University itself.

D.In the beginning there came to­gether from the far corners of theearth men and women from many tribes,and they betook themselves to theRegion of the Midway, and took uptheir abode. N ow, the men of thetribes did thrive and prosper, for theirlines had fallen in pleasant places, andthey did find much favor with theleaders of the tribes. But the womenof the land were sore tried, for thoughthey waxed in wisdom yet were theywanting in agility and comeliness, foramong all the tents yet were therenone wherein they might jump thehorses and climb the ropes.Now, in that year, behold, therecame .from out the Orient Gertrude ofthe House of Dudley, to instruct themaidens in those graces of her peoplewherein they did sadly lack.Now, among all the tents, the leastpleasing was that the length of whichwas divided in twain, the southwherein were kept the. archives, thenorth wherein the sons of the tribesdid vie daily with one another, and waxstrong. Now, in the darkermost cor­ner of this same tent lay a small closetwhich no man had desired.When Gertrude of the House of Dud­ley did come before the Elders, say­ing: "Behold! We have no placewherein to wield the dumb-bell, andgrow plastic in the dance," they didnod, one to another, and did apportionunto her this dank corner whereof ithas been written. And she did therebegin her teachings.And as her fame did spread through­out all the lands, so came there to her many maidens desirous of comelinessand grace; and as they waxed in num­bers the walls of the closet did pressupon them until they did cry aloud,and beg for space wherein they mightexpand. But the hearts of the menwere hard, and they said: "Alreadyare the women come in too great num­bers, and moreover, of what avail arethey?" And the Elders sought soli­tude in the writings of their scribes.In the fullness of time there arosefor the young men a tent of goodly di­mensions and much splendor, and therethe archives and the women had nopart. And because the ancient dwel­ling was no longer seemly in the eyesof men it was destroyed utterly. There­fore the women had no place whichthey might cali their 'own, and thererose so loud a lamentation that theElders could find no solitude among thewritings of their scribes. And theydid meet in council and long did theymeditate.And it came to pass that they didsummon Gertrude' before them andsaid, "Go! Take with thee thy maidensto the space beneath the temple to thenorth."And she did depart.And in the chamber under the placeof worship she did once more take upher teaching.And the daughters of the tribes diddress among the pools from the rainswhich did lie upon the floors, and diddisport themselves among the chartsand maps which did hang upon thewalls. So they endured until the sundid wax in strength and did cause themists to rise. Then did the maidensbecome faint and weary and castcovetous eyes toward that goodly por­tion of land allotted to the men. Andwhen their discomfort was too great,she of the House of Dudley did be.;.take herself to the council of the Eldersand did beseech them. -And 10, .theElders' hearts were touched, and theyfHICAGO COLLEGIATE BUREAU OF OCCUPATIONS 215did cause a corner of a goodly field tobe bounded about by a high boardfence. : �.bAnd to this little field came thosedamsels who were rich in strength andtime, for the distance to the field wasgreat, and fitting raiment for the gamespainful to unaccustomed eyes outsidethe fence. And there was great re­joicing, and the hearts of the womenwere light.But alas! There was a curse uponthe women, and no spot had theywhich they were safe to call theirhome. For so soon as they did planttheir bases in a certain place were theycommanded unto another region. Andtheir pilgrimages were many.But with the' years their caravansdid grow in numbers, and she of theHouse of Dudley did find great thetask of caring for the maidens.And now for a time a small tent onthe western border was set aside forthem, but this did bring hardship tomany, for their tasks and labors werein far places. But it was so arrangedthat some of their goings and comingswere on dry land.But lo! they did become meager inflesh and in spirit, and many did fallby the wayside. And grave were thetimes.And the chief of the Elders did callcouncil, and their hearts- did' softenwithin them, and they did set apart apiece of land and did call the buildersbefore them. And in a short space oftime there did rise on the south bordera dwelling like unto those which hadgone before to the north and to thewest.And for a term of years the womendid dwell in contentment, and did makefeasts for themselves each year, anddid vie in friendly spirit among them-selves. 'But when at last the winter winds didsweep within the dwelling, and thespring rains did drip beneath the roof, and the summer suns did shrivel eventhe inner floors thereof, the daughtersof the House of Dudley did rise inwrath and did march upon the Elders.But the Elders did seek again solitudeamong the writings of their scribes.Then said the women, "Behold, it's upto us! We must make for ourselvesa dwelling." And they did make for abeginning a shekel-race. But the re­sult thereof was as a nabisco waferunto a craving, beefsteak appetite.And for a space of years all was gloomand darkness. And the maidens whis­pered one to another: "Is there notone great enough?"Now there dwelt near at hand awoman of generous and splendid spirit,the wife of the chief of the Elders. Andwhen she did see the suffering of thedamsels her heart was sore troubledwithin her, and she did meditate. Andafter many hours she did say unto her­self, "Behold, there is one who in hisbreadth of vision will understand."And she did lay the problem beforehim, and lo! his heart was touched.And he did cause to be built that' edi­fice, great in dimension, beautiful incontour, wonderful in purpose, whichdid give the women for all time a placewhich they might call their own andkeep before them a vision of one whoselife had been a true help in the ad­vancement of the world.THE CHICAGO COLLEGIATEBUREAU OF OCCUPATIONS,*.An accusation by some people ofpractical business experience andstanding that colleges are not trainingtheir students to the disposition orability for practical, actual work, hasbrought forth answering talk and dis­cussion. The Chicago Collegiate Bu­reau of Occupations claims to be aworking answer on behalf at least of"Report of delegates to the bureau from the Chi­cago Alumnee Club of the University of Chicago toannual meeting April 10, 1915.216 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO l\;IAGAZINEthe college woman. Its office at 16 N.Wabash avenue, Chicago, housing anenterprise now two years oid, withHelen M. Bennet as the manager, withone full time and one half time assist­ant, costs about $275.00 each month(including salaries and office ex­penses). I t does its work under aboard of control consisting of delegatesfrom fourteen different college alumnaeorganizations. On behalf of the Uni­versity of Chicago, the Chicago AlumnaeClub of the University of Chicago hastwo delegates, now reporting to youthe work and condition of the Bureau.The most obvious part of its workis that of a placement bureau to secureemployment for college women or spe­cially trained women hunting workother than teaching. But an equallysignificant part of the undertaking isfurnishing vocational information foruse in the choice of occupation or inpreparation for or advancement in achosen occupation.The placement work is the bureau'sone real source of revenue outside ofcontributions from the alumnae clubs.And the Bureau is making creditableprogress in this part of its work. Itpays for itself now, and if the Bureaudid not do the other work, too, it wouldnow be self-supporting. Candidateshave sought work in the following oc­cupations: Advertising, art, bacteri­ology, biology, bookkeeping, buying,chemistry, clerical and other commer­cial positions, as companions, in de­signing, dietetics and domestic sciencein many phases? public speaking, edi­torial work, institutional management,interior decorating, as investigators, injournalism, laboratory work, as lawclerk, in library work, music, nursing,proofreading, publishing house work,research, secretarial, social work, assta tisticians, stenographers, in trans­lating, tutoring, vocational work, asgoverness, suffrage organizer andothers. Naturally the calls from employershave been more definite in characterand- therefore more varied in kind.There have come to the Bureau ap­proximately five hundred jobs to befilled, among them: canvasser, filingclerk, secretary, 'solicitor, office assist­ant, stenographer (136 of these posi­tions in the first eighteen monthsalone), stenographer and bookkeeper,invoicer, designer, artist, reader,teacher of experimental cooking,teacher of textiles, companion, cashier,teacher of stenography, translator, in­terpreter, reporter, governess, directorof hall, law stenographer, librarian,typist, historical clerk, clerical work­ers, dictaphone operator, tea roommanager, restaurant manager, socialworker, proofreader, musician, tutor,editorial assistant, publishing house as­sistant, business Imanager, chaperoneshopper, research worker, welfare di­rector, saleswoman, domestic sciencedirector, lyceum representative, cafe­teria director, insurance solicitor,mother's helper, French typist, dieti­tian, suffrage organizer, investigator,caterer, interior decorator, indexer,nurse, counsellor for girls, class leader,dramatic coach, floor clerk, chemist,household economics, accountant, de­tective (which happens to have beenfilled), assistant in employment de­partment, preceptress, organizer, labo­ratory assistant, policewoman, voca­tional worker, superintendent, matron,house manager, director of religiouseducation, publicity agent, newspaperwork, dance hall inspector, executiveposition with technical detail in settle­ment sewing room, textile chemist.You will notice that in many in­stances the calls for work and the callsfor assistants are in the same kind ofwork; but the best of its jobs the Bu­reau has been unable to fill, because itsregistered applicants, though of goodgeneral training, lacked specializedtechnique. But it has been able toCHICAGO COLLEGIATE BUREAU OF OCCUPATIONS 217send many of its applicants to positionscarrying �]>prentice training. Amongthe positions fined salaries have rangedfrom forty dollars per month (for theapprentice positions) to one hundredfifty dollars per month. At the begin­ning the Bureau filled 35 per cent ofits available jobs, and it is now fillingover 60 per cent; about 90 per cent ofthe applicants registered ready forwork have been placed.

Measured bythe only comparable institution, TheIntercollegiate Bureau of Occupationsin New York City, established one yearbefore this Bureau, these results aremost encouraging.Positions filled are followed up andwatched and full data is kept of allvocational information to be foundanywhere in the placement work, andmade available to those calling at theoffice for vocational advice. Of 700office interviews during February,1915, about half were of this sort.No charge is made for the giving ofthis advice. Inevitably, on this ac­count, the office costs more than ittakes in. But in addition the managerhas spoken at vocational conferences,at colleges and universities at the re- quest of the faculty or of student or­ganizations, before alumni groups andwomen's clubs. She has visited theUniversity of Chicago, NorthwesternUniversity, University of Wisconsin,University of Michigan, University ofIllinois, Iowa, Kansas, Miami, Mil­waukee Downer College, University ofCincinnati, Ohio State, Western Col­lege for Women at Oxford, Ohio,Oberlin, Ohio, Wesleyan, Western Re­serve, the University of Minnesota.She has assisted in vocational confer­ences at Northwestern, Wisconsin, Illi­nois, Ohio State, Minnesota and theUniversity of Michigan, which recentlyheld its first vocational conference andgives credit for the idea to this Bureau.When these trips have been madeaway from the office the extra outlayof money for carfare, etc., has alwayshad to be met by the outside seekingthe manager's presence, and in caseswhere the college has not somealumnae organizations contributing tothe bureau, it has been required tomake some recompense for the mana­ger's time as well. But the Bureauhas felt that it could not do its workand refuse to give this assistance, andthe recompense which it has been pos­sible to secure is not adequate to rec­ompense the Bureau for the loss ofincome to its placement work becauseof the manager's absence. The wo�kis so important the Bureau does notfeel that it should be given up; but ithas realized now for some time thatthe giving side of the Bureau has donesuch a heavy business as almost tointerfere with its money-making side.It wishes to continue and improve bothits kinds of work, and therefore asksagain the financial backing of the or­ganizations which brought it intobeing.And the bureau's answer for you tothe business critic is that fitness forthe job brings success and that collegetraining does not unfit for work; that218 THE UNIVERSI.TY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEit is a great addition to technical train­ing alone, but does not do away withthe need to learn the particular andspecial information for any worthwhile kind of work, and that this spe­cial ·training and information is oftenbest obtained in apprentice positions(necessarily low-salaried, and thateven with special schools some ap­prenticeship in actually doing the jobis 'unavoidable. It is the Bureau's jobto give the chance to add this specialtraining and to put the college womanin the road leading to practical condi­tions (the particular road so vaguelycalled the wide world in the class-dayorations) ; to give the ability to handlepractical conditions to the victims ofthe class-day orations.ALICE GREEN ACRE.J ESSIE HECKMAN.AN ALUMNUS CANDIDATEDonald R.

Haupt, '16, and F.F. Gualano, '17. The story of the playconcerns the endeavor of the distractedBlackfriar coach, Burnway (VernonBrown, '15), to conduct a dress re­hearsal of a Blackfriar show. Every­thing goes wrong, and to cap the cli­max Professor Fixit (Raymond A. An­derson, '15) turns up at the close of theact, announces that he has utterly, dis­approved of the whole performance anddeclares that a new play must be sub­mitted. While he and the coach goout to prepare one the distracted au­thor (V. H. Halperin, '16), lies downto await their return, and dreams. Hisdream is the second act, which takesFRATERNITY, SCHOLARSHIPFRATERNITY SCHOLARSHIP INTHE WINTER QUARTERThe following table gives the com­parative scholarship rank of the eight­een chapters of fraternities at the Uni­versity in the Winter quarter, and ofWashington and Jefferson Houses(local clubs), which are added for com­parison. In comparing these figureswith those of the Autumn quarter, theusual rise ofscholarship in the Winterwill be noted. Only two are below C,as compared with fine in the Autumn;and seven are higher than the bestaverage in the Autumn quarter. Byway of comparison, Beta Theta Piaveraged 2.21 in the Autumn and wasseventh, averaged 2.22 in the Winterand was fifteenth. The two leadingfraternities in both Autumn and Win­ter were Sigma Alpha Epsilon andAlpha Delta Phi; and Delta KappaEpsilon was fourth in the Autumn andthird in the Winter. The othersshowed incalculable variations, risingand falling without rhyme or reason.The total number of fraternity mengraded was 331, and their grand aver­age 2.44, compared with 368 in theAutumn, and a grand average of 2.11.The table follows:place in the Monastery of the Black­friars in England at the time of the re­turn of Richard I from the crusades.Into the atmosphere of this monasterythe author suddenly finds himselftransported; arid he is forced to fight inarmor, which is most difficult for himto handle, to save Lady Ruth Morely,a damsel in distress (Louis Blachly,'17). After infinite reluctance he en­gages in a combat, which he wins bythe abandonment of his battle-ax infavor of a few upper-cuts. At themoment when he is receiving congratu­lations he is awakened by the returnof Burnway and Professor Fixit andsubmits his dream as a possible newplay. As in the '''Student Superior" oflast year, the idea is largely satirical.The first act is a burlesque of the ordi­nary college comic opera � the secondact, which is elaborately staged, isironic also, in its relation of the ideasof the present day to the ideas of themiddle ages, and is reminiscent notonly of Francis Wilson's "In Days ofOld" but also of Mark Twain's "AYa�kee at King Arthur's Court." Theplay was received with enthusiasm andmay be set down as a distinct success.I t was the twelfth production of theBlackfriars. Following the withdrawalfrom college of John A. Henderson,'15, the Abbot of the organization, andHolger Lollesgard, the Hospitaller,Frederick Croll, '15, was elected Abbotand John Baker, '15, HospitaUer.

President G. R.Schaeffer presided and fifty-five werepresent. In many ways the dinner wasthe most interesting ever held by theclub, and the plans set on foot that eve­ning are likely to result in action ofimportance both to the Club and to theUniversity. The following Constitu­tion and By-laws, presented by a com­mittee appointed for the purpose, wasadopted:Article I.The name of this organization is theUniversity of Chicago Alumni Club ofChicago, Illinois.Article II.The officers of this Club shall be aPresident, a Vice-president, a Secre­tary-Treasurer, who, together withfour other members, shall constitute anExecutive Committee, all of whom shall be elected at the Annual BusinessMeeting of the Club, to hold office forone year or until their successors areelected.Article III.The direction of all activities of theClub shall be vested in the ExecutiveCommittee.Article IV.Any man formerly a student at theUniversity of Chicago shall be eligibleto membership in this Club.Article V.The annual dues in this Club shall beFive (5) Dollars.Article VI.The University of Chicago Magazineshall be the official publication of thisClub and shall be furnished to' allmembers.Article VII.The Constitution and By-laws maybe amended by a two-thirds vote of222 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEmembers present at any Annual Busi­ness Meeting or adjournment thereof.Considerable discussion occurredover Article V., some of those presentbelieving that the dues should be tendollars, but the final vote was prac­tically unanimous. These dues carrywith them a subscription to' theMtiqazine, and (for those eligible,namely, those who have credit on theUniversity records for nine or moremajors) membership in the Alumni As­sociation. A committee of five, in ad­dition to the Executive Committee, wasdecided upon to. campaign for mem­bers, and will be appointed at once bythe President. Every man present,however, pledged himself to secure asmany new members as possible.A committee consisting of HugoFriend '07, Fred Moloney Ex-'03, andRudy D. Matthews '14, reported, throughFriend, on plans for getting into touchwith preparatory school men of ath­letic promise. It was suggested thatthe Club appoint one man to each Chi­cago High School and preparatoryschool to find out in the fall what menof general all-round promise are to' begraduated in 1916, and to arrange tohave these men meet other membersof the Club, so that they may becomeknown and may learn what Chicagohas to offer her undergraduates. Sinii­lar arrangements were suggested, tosend club members to various prepara­tory schools in the towns and citiesaround Chicago, not only at intervalson friendly visits, but .as referees atathletic meets, judges at debates andso on. Once a year a dinner was sug­gested, to be given to a group of pre­paratory school men who seemed in­t zrested, to meet Alumni and studentlea.ders. The general consensus ofopinion following the report was thatany effort to limit -its wise suggestionsto men of athletic prominence was un­desirable; that prep. school men of gen­eral promise should rather be concen- trated upon. As to athletics in par­ticular, there was a. strong feeling thatthe Interscholastic was not serving itspurpose; that it came too late in theyear, after the prep. men had alreadymade their plans for college attend­ance.An Alumni Association committee,consisting of S. S. MacClintock '96,F. W. Dignan '97, John F. Hagey '98,Josephine Allen '99, and Agnes Way­man '03, presented, through MacClin­tock, at the invitation of the AlumniClub, its report to that body. Detailsof service rendered other institutionsby these Alumni and Alumnae wereread, and the suggestion made that asChicago will celebrate next year (1916)the 25th anniversary of its founding,the Chicago Alumni should undertakesome similar service. And this reportprecipitated the noteworthy and valu­able discussion of the evening, a dis­cussion lasting over two hours, duringwhich not a man left the session.The general feeling was that directservice to the University was the realbond of Alumni union, that dinners inwhich the e1ement O'f fellowship wasexclusively dwelt upon were on thewrong lines. Two concrete sugges­tions were made: that to begin with,the club establish either a small groupof scholarships for four years, or elsean Alumni Club Student Loan Fund.Around these suggestions the talk cen­tered, ranging off, however, into gen­eral discussion of the service idea.J. F. Moulds, '07, the Universitycashier, told of the dire need certainfirst-rate students of the Universitywere in for funds to carryon their bareexistence at Chicago. Rudy Matthews,'14, told of the success of the 1914 LoanFund, which has now increased to$800, is lent among fourteen students,and will be further increased in June.As a general guide to the feeling, Wal­ling, '99, asked how many men in theroom would contribute at least $5.00 aTHE CHICAGO ALUMNI CLUB DINNERyear to either scholarships or a loanfund. T� response was unanimous,various 'men t offering considerablylarger sums. 'Bond, '97, expressed theview that all such subscriptions shouldbe limited to a small sum from eachperson, in the belief that thus manymore would feet the responsibility. Itwas easy, he said, to raise money, butfar harder to spread the feeling of in­terest. President Schaeffer suggestedgiving to one of the two purposes sug­gested the fund raised from the dubdues. MacClintock, '96, thought thatspecific action should be delayed until theclub could ascertain from the Trusteeswhat form of service would best har­monize with its plans. Fairweather '07,however, moved the appointment of acommittee of five to set on foot andconduct the raising of a subscriptionfund for either scholarships or a loanfund, and this was carried. All thosepresent then joined the Alumni Clubunder the provisions of the newlyadopted Constitution, and a good manyoffered annual subscriptions to thesuggested fund. The dinner ended ateleven, after what seemed to manypresent the most vital display of realfeeling for the University ever shownat a club gathering,The following is the report of theSecretary-Treasurer for the past year:To the Members of the ChicagoAlumni Club.Gentlemen-The Secretary of yourorganization during the past year hascatalogued the names and addresses of2,400 Chicago men in the City and vi­cinity.

The first order on the programwill be a reception from twelve o'clockto twelve-thirty for the new candi­dates, who are about to receive thedoctorate. This will be followed bythe annual complimentary luncheon attwelve-thirty, tendered by the Univer­sity through President Judson. At theclose of the luncheon will occur theannual business meeting for the e1ec ....tion of officers, reports of committees,and the report of the Secretary. Aformal announcement will be mailed toall doctors, about June 1st.

Heserved for some months under General vonHiridenburg in Poland, but an injury to his230 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEfoot disabled him for several weeks. Assoon as he had recovered, his regiment wastransferred, and he joined his comrades inthe Carpathian mountains., Following a course in legal training at theUniversity of Berlin, Heyder entered theLaw school at Chicago in 1912. He tookcourses here for a year and a half, subse­quently studying for six months at Colum­bia university. He then returned to theUniversity of Chicago and attended classeson the campus until the close of the last summer quarter, when hostilities broke outabroad. He immediately left for Germany,reaching his native country through N or­way, and enlisted as a volunteer. He re­marked to his former room-mate, HowardRoe, a senior in the Law School, that hefully intended to resume his work at theUniversity when the war was over. Heyderhad been admitted to the bar in Germany.Dean Hall and Professor Bigelow, both ofwhom were well acquainted with Heyder,spoke of him in the highest terms.ATHLETICSBaseball-Up to May 14 Chicago hadplayed five conference games, winning two,tying one and losing two. The standing ofthe various colleges at that time was:W. L. Pct.Il1��ois . 5 1 .883W isconsm .4 2 .667Iowa . 3 2 .600Ohio 3 2 .600Northwestern 4 3 .572Chicago . 2, 2 .500Purdue 2 3 0400Minnesota 2 4 .333Indiana 0 6 .000.The Chicago games were as follows:Chicago 5, Iowa 5, April 16, at Iowa City.Chicago 3, Wisconsin 0, April 21.Chicago 6, Minnesota 2, April 24.Chicago 1, Ohio State 3, April 29.Chicago 4, Iowa 7, May 1.On May 5, in the best-played game of theseason so far, Chicago also defeated theChinese University of Hawaii 1-0.In the first game of the season, at Iowa CityChicago came from behind and tied the scor�in the eighth inning.' The hitting on bothsides was good and so was Chicago's field­ing. Wisconsin, on April 21, was unable tohit Des J ardien, and also fielded wretchedly.Minnesota, on April 24, also found Des J ardientoo difficult an enigma, whereas Chicago hitsmartly, the only time so far the team hasreally shown any ability with the bat. Thegame to Ohio State was lost by poor base­running, coupled with the usual inability tohit. The Iowa game was lost on errorsand the stupidest sort of base-running. Inthis game, too, Des J ardien was less effectivethan in the others, but much of Iowa's hit­ting was done after the side should have beenretired. The game with the Chinese wasplayed in less than an hour and a half, andwas marked by the prettiest sort of fieldingand very weak hitting on both sides.So far the team has shown unusual abilityto field, very poor batting, and general j udg­rnent m the field and on the bases whichmight fairly be marked F. To consider firstthe men in detail: Hart has been catchingwell and throwing admirably. He is not, by any means, the hitter that Mann was lastyear, but mechanically, all things considered,is a better catcher. His snap throws to firsthave been perfect, though McConnell has notlearned how to take them, invariably leaningaway in toward home and so letting the run­ner slide around him. Des J ardien is pitch­ing as well as last year, and Shull muchbetter; indeed, Shull, in the three games hehas pitched-against Ames Agricultural, OhioState, and the Hawaiian University-has beenunhittable. The Chinese got fewer hits offhim than from any other pitcher they havefaced on their tour. Both Des J ardien andShull have, besides their regular overhandthrowing, a beautiful .underhand delivery,which, on account of their great height, is mosteffective, and for the development of whichCoach Page is to be congratulated. F. Mc­Connell, on first, is new to the game, awkward,but steady, except in crises. If he is interferedwith at all by the runner he lets the ball go byin naive astonishment that such things can be.He has been hitting very hard, but not veryoften. Cole, at second, fields steadily, and, inspite of his -; small size, handles throws tosecond admirably, blocking off the runnerswith extraordinary nonchalance. He has notbeen hitting at all since the first of the season.Kixmiller, at short, has also been fielding.. slpendidly; in every game so far he has donefirst-rate work. He loses his head, however.He let in two runs in the Iowa game by. goingback and interfering with the left-fielder ona short fly, in spite of the fact that the windwas blowing strongly toward the outfield-anelementary error of judgment for which ina big league game he would have beenbenched. He hits fairly well. R. N. McCon­nell, at third, is also a brilliant fielder excepton bunts but he literally cannot hit at all.In the outfield Captain Gray, who is playingcenter this year, covers a great deal of groundand has not made an error; he throws wellalso, though not with much judgment. Hehits very hard; in fact, he is the only realbatter on the team, and opposing pitchershave already learned to pass him intentionallyin the pinches. Cavin, in left, is also a goodfielder and hitter, though not up to Gray'sstandard. It is possible that for a timeATHLETICSCavin will be played on second and Colebenched till he can recover his batting eye.George, Flow and Chang have all been triedin right field and all proved mediocre, thoughFlood pulled off the most brilliant catch ofthe season in the Wisconsin game. Floodand Chang are fair batsmen. The fieldingin general may be called really good; thehitting lamentably weak.But it is the general lack of judgment thatholds the nine back. The base-running isalmost a crime. Men have been sent in hometo certain death and held on third whenscoring would have been easy; in fact, thecoaching on third must have tended to makeCoach Page bald before his time. The out­fielders throw the ball with great precision tothe wrong base; in the Ohio game one runcould have been shut off without trouble andanother man headed off at third. Even Grayfails to use his head in this respect. Theteam can yet beat Illinois and win the cham­pionship, however, if it will mix a littlebrains with its manual competence. Theremainder of the schedule follows:May 14-0hio State at Columbus.May 15-Purdue.May 18-Wisconsin at Madison.May 22-Illinois.May 28-Illinois at Urbana.Nne 2-Purdue at Lafayette.June 4-Alumni.(Since the foregoing was written the teamhas lost another game, to Ohio State, 9-6, Desj'ardien being badly pounded. Exit champion­ship hope.)Track-The team is the best Chicagohas had for some time; better than last year's.The record so far is:Drake relay games, April 17, won half­mile relay in 1_:30, breaking record of 1 :31set by Chicago last year; won mile relay in3 :23 2-5, but was disqualified for dropping thebaton; third to Wisconsin and Michigan inthe four-mile relay, finishing, however, inbetter time than the previous record for therace. The half-mile relay was won by Knight,22 1-5; Ward, 22 t-s ; Agar, 23, and Barancik,22 3-5. In the mile, Stegeman, in the firstquarter, was jostled and dropped the baton,tried to recover it, but could not do so in thecrowd, and then ran on, though knowing hewas disqualified, finishing in 53. Cornwellran in 51, Breathed in 49 4-5, and Dismond in49 4-5� They won easily, but Wisconsin wasawarded the race and Northwestern givensecond. In the four-mile, Merrill and Good­win ran poorly, and at the end of two milesChicago was 300 yards back. Campbell ranin 4 :25 4-5 and Stout in 4 :26, finishing aboutsixty yards behind the winner.Pennsylvania relay games, April 23 and24 : Second in sprint medley championship,second in distance medley championship,second in two-mile championship, third inthe hundred-yard dash, fourth in the highhurdles. An account of these' races, which 231has been kindly supplied by Mr. Stagg andwhich gives -full details, follows:"For the first time, events were held on twodays, Friday and Saturday, Chicago took partIII both relay races on Friday, namely, theAmerican college championship sprint medleyrace, in which two men ran 220 yards, oneman ran ;4 mile and one man ran � mile,and in the American college championshipdistance medley relay race, in which the firstman ran % mile; the second, 0; the third, %,and the fourth, one mile. Six teams hadentered the sprint medley, but only two teams,Chicago and '. Pennsylvania, appeared on themarks. Harvard warmed up but did nottake part. I had surmised that some of theteams would drop out and had felt that Chi­cago could win a place in the event eventhough we did not put in our strongest team.Instead of using Dismond in the % and Camp­bell in the �, I saved them for the later eventand used Breathed in the X and Cornwell inthe�. Cornwell's best time at this distancewas 2 :03.Ward sprinted away from Patterson ofPennsylvania, doing the distance in :22 andbeating Patterson by from 7 to 8 yards. Baran­cik lost about 3 yards to Lockwood in the sec­ond relay. Lippincott of Pennsylvania beatBreathed by from 8 to 10 yards and Meredithran away from Cornwell in the � mile, beat­ing him fully 100 yards. Cornwell, however,took it easy at my request, since at that timeI thought he might enter the one-mile relaythe following day. The approximate' timesmade by the Chicago runners were as fol­lows: Ward, :22; Barancik, :22 2-5; Breathed,:51; Cornwell, 2 :14.In the Distance Medley Relay Race the Chi­cago runners were: Dismond, % mile; Stege­man, � mile; Campbell, % mile; Stout, onemile. Seven teams lined up for this event asfollows: Chicago, Lehigh, Harvard, Pennsyl­vania, Princeton, Penn State, Yale. In thefirst relay, Wilkie of Yale beat Dismond ofChicago by about three yards. Dismond'stime was 49 3-5. Stegeman came in third.doing the one-half in 1 :59 1-5. Campbellbrought Chicago into second place Cto Yale,doing the % mile in 3 :111-5. Poucher ofYale, who was first, ran the three-quarters ina little over 3 :08. Campbell was about 7yards behind at the start and lost about 20yards. Stout closed up on Overton, Yale'slast runner, and caught him after he had gonetwo laps and a half. Instead of trotting be­hind him .and taking Overton's pace until hehad gotten thoroughly rested from his effortof catching him, he foolishly passed Overton,who repassed him after going about 150 yards.Stout dung to him then until about the be­ginning of the last turn, when Overton puton a burst and drew away, from Stout, beat­ing him by about 30 yards. When Stout firstcame up on Overton, Overton seemed to slowdown slightly and spiked Stout in' the frontof the leg. Stout told him to get out of theway and then ran around him. Stout ran themile in 4 :24, while Overton's time was 4 :230232 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEOn Saturday, in the two-mile champion­ship, seven teams competed. Their orderfrom the pole was as follows: Chicago,Princeton, Harvard, Pennsylvania, Dartmouth,Yale and Purdue. Dismond ran the firstrelay for Chicago, but ran rather poorly,doing the half-mile in 2 :02 3-5 and finishingin fifth position. East of Purdue led in thisrelay by about 15 to 20 yards. Dismond musthave been at least 35 yards back. Stout ranthe second relay for Chicago and did thedistance in 1 minute, 58 seconds. He camein with a fine burst of speed perhaps 10 or12 yards back of Atha, the second Princetonrunner, and 7 or 8 yards back of the Yalerunner, who was in first place. Stegeman ranthe third relay for Chicago and did well,making the distance. in about one minute,59 seconds. He closed up the gap about 3 or4 yards. Hayes of Princeton led in thisrelay. Campbell ran a grand race for Chicagoin the final relay, undoubtedly making thefastest time of the race. Mackensie of Prince­ton was touched off perhaps 2 or 3 yardsahead of Poucher of Yale and from" 8 to 10yards ahead of Campbell. Poucher immedi­ately sprinted hard and passed Mackensie,while Campbell gradually overtook Mackensie -and passed him on the home straightawaynear the end of the first lap. At this timePoucher was 10 or 12 yards ahead ofCampbell. Camp-bell drew away from Mac­kensie from 5 to 7 yards and maintained thisposition until the end of the back stretchon the second lap. At about the middle ofthe last turn, Mackensie forced his pace andbegan closing up on Campbell. The latterwas rapidly gaining on Poucher of Yale, whoevidently had overshot his pace. Campbellpassed Poucher just as he rounded into thehome stretch. At this time Mackensie was onCampbell's heels. From here on for about70 yards there was a desperate battle betweenCampbell and Mackensie, who was fightinghard to pass him. Step by step they coveredthe remaining distance to the tape, Campbellalways being even or slightly in the lead. Inthe last 25 yards Campbell seemed to putforth an extra effort and plainly showed thathe was a' foot or so in advance, as he wasnearing the tape. Each man was puttingforth every ounce 0 f strength. I t looked likea certain victory for Campbell and Chicagowhen Mackensie, in his final step, fell forwardon his hands at the finish line. Campbellbroke the finish yarn and, to most people,appeared the victor. The judges, however,gave the race to Mackensie and Princeton,with a new record of 7 minutes 55 3-5 seconds,which, undoubtedly, was Chicago's time, asusually timers snap their watches on thebreak of the tape. The former intercollegi­ate record was held by the University ofMichigan at 8 minutes. Campbell's time forthe half mile was 1 minute 55 4-5 seconds.There is no doubt but that Mackensie, infalling, did 110t cross the finish line beforeCampbell broke the tape, and pictures in thenewspapers substantiate this view. There is a general misunderstanding, how­ever, as to the finish rule. A runner does nothave to break the tape. The Conference rulestates that "The finish line shall be a lineon the ground across the track from finishpost to finish post and the men shall be placedin the order in which they completely crC?ssthis line." Up to 1913 this, also, was theEastern Intercollegiate rule. Their presentrule, however, states that "the men shall beplaced in the order in which any part oftheir bodies (i. e., torso, as distinguishedfrom head, legs, feet, arms or hands) eithertouches or crosses such line."Chicago's hard luck this year recalls vivid­ly to mind the one-mile championship relay"race in 1905. In the final relay, Groman ofChicago was leading the Yale runner by afull yard and, as he stated, intentionally doveacross the finish line, but did not break thetape." On that occasion there was much ex­citement and the judges conferred togethernear me. I overheard the conversation ofthe three judges at the finish. One of them,evidently the man to pick first, remarked:"Yale wins. The Chicago man did not breastthe tape." Another said, "But wait, does hehave to breast the tape?" and immediatelytook a book of rules from his pocket andread aloud: "The finish line shall be a lineacross the track from finish post to finishpost and the men shall be placed in the orderin which they completely cross this line."Then the first judge said, "Well, the Chicagoman did not completely cross the finish line."The point on which the decision was madewas plainly an afterthought, as the first com­ment of the judge indicated his intention ofawarding the race to Yale because Gromandid not breast the tape. On this occasionYale was awarded first, Pennsylvania secondand Chicago third. ;In the hundred, Dewey Knight won hispreliminary and semi-final heats in 10 1-5, butwas tired for the final, being short of workon account of preparation for the Drakegames. Captain Ward won fourth in thehigh hurdles. He seemed to be slightly aheadat the fifth hurdle. As Ward and Knighthad run through their events only twice be­fore competing at Philadelphia, their showingwas gratifying."On May 8 Chicago defeated Northwesternvery easily, 781-3 to 472-5, in a dual meetmarked by some excellent performances.Knight and Ward were first and second inthe hundred, time 10 1-5; Knight and Baran­cik first and third in the 220, time 22 2-5 ;Desmond first in the quarter and Breathedand Cornwell tied for third, time 50; Campbelland Stegeman first and third in the half.:time 1 :56; Stout and Merrill first and secondin the mile, time 4 :38; Goodwin and Powersfirst and third in the two-mile, time 10 :13 ;Ward and Bent first and third in both thehigh and low hurdles, times 16 1-.5 and 26;Sparks and Windrow first and third in theshot, distance 38-9; Gorgas tied for first inthe high jump, height 5-10; Fisher first andATHLETICS 233Bent tied for second in the vault, height 10-6;Des Jardien and Windrow second and thirdin the discus; distance (winner) 128-5; Whiteand Trout s�tbnd and third in the hammer,distance ( winner ).� 125-9; Russell second inbroad jump, distance (winner) 22 ft. % in. Inthree special events for freshmen, Pershingwon the hundred in 10 1-5, and the highhurdles in 16-4, Guerin second in both, andHarold Clark won the half in 2 :08, Angiersecond. The day was raw and rainy, so muchso that the Indiana ball game was' called off.The next meet was with Purdue .on May 15,too late for comment in this issue. Chicagowon by 78 to 39. .. Prospects 'for the two meets to .come, thedual with Illinois on May 22 on Stagg Field,and the Conference Meet on June 5 at Ur­bana, are fair. On the track Chicago shouldalmost sweep both meets; in fact the san­guine look forward to victory in every runexcept the two-mile, and to a place in that.Knight did 9� in the 100 in the Purdue meet,and 22 in the 220 ; Ward, 15}5 in the highhurdles and 24% in the low; Dismond, 49 inthe quarter; Campbell, 155% in the half;Stout is running close to 4 :20 in the mile, andGoodwin under ten minutes in the two-mile.In addition there are Barancik and Agar inthe dashes, Breathed and Cornwell in thequarter, and Merrill in the half are alsolikely to score. But the rub comes in thefield events. Des J ardien is good for about125 feet in the discus, Sparks about 39 in theshot.. and White about 130 in the hammer;Windrow is not quite so good in any event.Lee and Russell will do around 22 feet in thebroad jump, Gorgas around 5-11 in the high,and Fisher 12 feet in the vault. I f thesemarks will win, good luck. But they hardlywill. The Fourteenth Interscholastic Meetwill be held on Sta.gg Field on June 12, andthe attention of Alumni who are interestedin athletics is invited to it. Preparations arebeing made for the entertainment of morethan 700 visiting athletes. The event, asusual, comprises both a track meet and a ten­nis tournament, the winner of the latter in singles representing the West at the nationalhigh school championships later in the sum­mer. The track meet is always the largestevent of its kind held anywhere, and therecords are as a rule the best made anywhere.Favorites for the meet this year are LaGrange, Oak Park, University High and LewisInstitute, but usually the points are so cut upthat prophecies go wrong. The committees incharge of the event are elaborately organized,with Denton Sparks, '16, end on the footballteam, in general charge. Alumni who havefriends in any of the preparatory schools whoare to compete would do no harm to the ath­letic interests of the University by appearingon June 12 to help out the work. 'Swimming.-Charles B. Pavlicek, '16, waselected captain of the swimming team fornext year. Pavlicek is conference championin the backstroke. The outlook is bright withPavlicek, W. C. Earle, '18, and Craig Redmon,'16, to build upon. Redmon is national A. A.U. champion in the plunge for distance, hav­ing captured the title on April 15 by doingsixty feet in 20 seconds, within one-fifth ofa second of the world's record. Earle wonthe all-around swimming championship of theuniversity on May 2, just beating out Pavlicek.Gymnastics.-Chicago won second in theConference gymnastic meet at Ecmfwyp onMay m49.

We have beenproud of him as a scholar, glad that hewent forth from us to have his weightypart in the great philanthropic move­ments which are the conspicuous evi­dence of the Christ spirit in our mod­ern world. We have rejoiced that ourreligious faith, to the study and under­standing of which our school is de­voted, should have been the noble so­cial expression, ever regulated by thefinest scientific insight, which was af­forded by the leadership of Dr. Hen­derson in public charities and in na­tional and international efforts of re­form. We have felt a keen satisfac­tion in the high place of usefulness andhonor that he held in the university,in the city, and in the Christian church."Deeply have we appreciated hisripe wisdom in our counsels. His highstandards of academic obligation, hiswide sympathy with all branches oflearning, his kindly human interest inevery student, his generous willingnessin spite of all the demands upon hisstrength to take his full share in all the duties of the school, and all his fair,frank cooperation in every conferenceand enterprise endeared him to us asa great and noble colleague."But we chiefly miss him for him­self. We loved him and honored himas a Christian gentleman and as abrother who was true. We felt thathis was the manhood that we tried topreach and which in our prayers wesought to attain. He made Jesus andhis discipleship more real to us. Wefelt the inspiration of his life amongus a challenge to ourselves and ourstudents. He was too fine and simpleto know how much we thought of him,but we are glad to believe that heknew that we loved him. /"Dr. Henderson will remain amongus. No one will ever take his place.Our school will retain as a rich herit­age the great contribution that hemade to its work and to its life. Weshall be better scholars, better teach­ers, better men, because" he livedamong us for these years."We send these few words with ourlove and sympathy to Mrs. Henderson,though she does not need to be toldhow high a place her noble husbandheld among us. And we venture toadd to her our appreciation of her owngreat part in all the life accomplish­ment of one whose care was every hu­man need, but whose own cares wereeyer lightened at his hearth."THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 235Voters, Attention!All members of the College Alumni Association are entitled to vote forthe officers of the association for next year.
