Ithas been delayed'I'o Alumni one week to allowthe receiving of thisinformation from those who attendedclass reunions. Please note that thenext issue, in July, is the LAST forthis year. Many alumni assume thatthe MAGAZINE is issued every monthin the year, although the inside frontcover always gives the facts. The Julyissue will contain resumes of variousactivities for the year, Miss Green­acre's report on the class reunions andan important article by Dean Angell.Dun't miss it, and don't forget that itIS the final issue for the year. Ourcirculation increased forty per cent in1914-15. We hope to increase it a hun­dred per cent next year. But we cando so only through YOUR help. How?By renewing on the FIRST notice, forone thing; by asking other alumniwhom you know to subscribe, for an­other. Hardly an alumnus can befound who does not think the MAGA­ZINE is improved and improving.Why? Don't imagine the editor is do­ing it; it is the alumni who are co­operating. Says a letter from HarryHansen, '09, who first put the MAG­AZINE on its feet: "I remember onceasking fourteen people, in succession,to speak at an alumni dinner and get­ting fourteen refusals. It was thatsort of thing which took the pepperout of our efforts." Things are chang­ing. Help them to change!One thing which the recent attemptto promote class reunions throws fur­ther light upon is that without greaterpre par a tion andClass Reunions m 0 r e forehandedplanning, such re­unions will not succeed. A simple an- nouncement, however admirably word­ed, will not suffice. Information aboutthese reunions must be disseminatedmonths, even a full year, in advance;and at least four progressive accountsof the plans as they are made must besent out. Many institutions send outa dozen; and at that they have an ad­vantage, because every other institu­tion has regularly organized classes,which are made up of much the samegroup throughout the four years,whereas Chicago, with her quarter sys­tem, enter-at-any-time plan, "advancedstanding" students coming in by hun­dreds from other colleges, and the sum­mer quarter to' break up the continuityof groups, has nothing of the sort.Take the experience of the class of1900. The chairman of the committeein charge, Charles S. Eaton, sent out225 postals with reply part attached,to 125 graduates and 100 ex-es. Twen­ty-four were "returned for better ad­dress." Thirty-nine responded, ofwhom nine came to the dinner. Thesewho appeared were enthusiastic, butnine out of 225 cannot be called a largeproportion. Of those addressed by theclass of 1895, only one responded, andhe with a regret! As a matter of fact,the mails as a medium of communica­tion have practically ceased to be ef­fective; almost every circular letternowadays goes into the waste basketunread. A full report on this matter,by Alice Greenacre, chairman of thecommittee on class reunions, will bepublished in the July issue. Butmeanwhile let us take note that nextyear is the 25th anniversary of thefounding of the university, and beginto plan NOW ..Hans Heyder, a German student inthe law school last year, was killed inEVENTS AND DISCUSSIONthe fighting In the Carpathians lastmonth, as mentionedin the May issue ofthe MAG A Z I N E.News has since beenreceivid of a be­quest from him to the university, orspecially to Dean Hall, of $200 for thepurchase for the law library of workson German Jurisprudence. WhenPresident Judson made the announce­ment at convocation, it was receivedwith a silence far more sympatheticthan applause. Why is it that a giftfrom one of another blood, one whohas died for his country, has such atouch of fineness? The university hasreceived many larger gifts, but nonethat seem more to emphasize the spiritof loyalty which she is proud to arouse.The' HeyderBequestA bulletin just issued by the uni­versity gives information concerningthe philanthropic service division ofthe college of Com­merce and Adminis­tration. In general,of the work of thisdivision, the bulletinTraining forPhilanthropicServicesays:The first year's work aims to supplementthe student's high-school training and togive him a well-rounded cultural' founda­tion in the main divisions of human knowl­edge. The second year's work completesthis basic preparation and undertakes abroad survey of the social sciences. It issignificant that in these social-science-sur­vey courses the future social worker sitsside by side with the future business manthe future teacher and investigator in th�social science departments, and the futurecivil servant, and all are led to appreciatethe relationships of their future specializedtasks to the operations of the rest of organ­ized society. Even after he has completedthe social science survey; the student isprevented from narrow specialization.Throughout his third year he takes basicsemi-cultural, semi-professional courses de­signed to give him a clearer appreci�tionof the organization of modern society thanwas possible in the social science survey.I t is only in the 'fourth year and in gradu­ate work that the student does distinctlyprofessional work and cultivates intensivelyhis own particular field. The student who 245has traversed these stages should go outwith some idea of social needs, with somezeal for serving these needs, with some ap­preciation of the rights, the privileges, andthe obligations of other members of society,and with training which should enable himto do his work efficiently. Courses are ar­ranged for those preparing for specific vo­cations, 110t by making essential changesin the required courses, but by grouping theelectives according to individual needs. Ap­propriate groupings are arranged for thoseexpecting to serve in charitable organiza­tions, playground work, settlement work,child-welfare agencies, civic organizations,social research, correctional institutions, etc.Among the required and electivecourses in the third and fourth yearsare listed Labor Conditions and Prob­lems, Statistics, Social Psychology,Organization and Administration ofCharities, Methods of Social Investi­gation, Principles of Social and Econ­omic Legislation, Social Treatment ofCrime, Public and Industrial Hygiene,Playground Movement and Practice,and many others, over sixty in all.Those named will show the scope ofthe work. Of the results of such so­cial and vocational work it is too soonto speak; but surely such broad plan­ning must end in real accomplishment.On May 29 an invitation, signed byErnest D. Burton, J. Spencer Dicker­son, W.illiam Gardner Hale, J. c. M.Hanson, J. LaurenceThe Renaissance Laughlin, Andrew C.McLaughlin, JohnM. Manly, David A. Robertson, Ferd­inand Schevill, Paul Shorey and JamesWestfall Thompson, announced to thefaculty a conference concerning "a so­ciety to stimulate love of the beauti­ful, and to enrich the life of the com­munity through the cultivation of thearts." The conference was duly held,and the society organized. Its mern­bership will consist not only of mem­bers of the faculty, but of all citizensof Chicago, and particularly of alumniwho find themselves in sympathy withthe object. Information may be hadfrom Mr. J. S. Dickerson, the Univers-246 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEity of Chicago. The name "The Re­naissance" has been temporarily adopt­ed, and the plans of the society willbe announced from time to time asthey mature.The baseball team, in charge of As­sociate Professor Chester '"tV. Wrightof the department of Political Econ­omy, and C 0 a c hPage, will sail forJapan on July 29. Afew pre lim ina rygames will be playedon the way to the coast; there will bea stop of a week at Honolulu, wherethree games will be played with theChinese University of Hawaii, and sixweeks will be spent in touring Japan,games being principally with Keio andWaseda University teams. On the re­turn a game will be played at HongKong, and ten days will be spent in th�Philippine islands. The whole jour­ney will occupy about four months,the travelers returning on December1. Professor Wright will not comeback with the team, but will go oneastward from China. Those to go in­clude Captain Gray, outfielder; Hart,catcher; Des J ardien, pitc her; Cole,second base; Kixmiller, shortstop; R.N. McConnell, third base; Cavine aJdGeorge, outfielders, and some of thefreshmen, but just who cannot yet bedecided on. Page will pitch in someof the games, where intercollegiateregulations are not' in force. Shull,captain-elect; F. B. McConnell, firstbase, and Flood, outfielder, will remainfor football. Those of the freshmenwho are chosen will register in theuniversity for the first term of the sum­mer quarter, and will be subject to allrules of eligibility. This is the secondtrip a university team has made toJapan; the first, in 1910, was chaper­oned by Captain Page, who thus re­visits his oriental haunts, and by Pro­fessor Gilbert Bliss, '97, and nu�beredThe JapanBaseballTrip such stars as Fred Steinbrecher, theRoberts brothers, Orno and Glenn, andJohn Boyle. That team won everygame in Japan, and in fact every gamebut one (with the soldiers in Manila)on the trip. As good luck attend thisone. Will alumni in Honolulu, and inChina, Japan and the Philippinesplease take notice?A team of track athletes, which willcertainly include Francis Ward '15Roy Campbell, '15, and B. Dis�ond''17, will represen �the University ofChicago at the Pan­ama-Pacific games tobe held on August 6and 7 at San Francisco. The boardof athletic control voted on June 17 tofinance the expedition. The plan ispart of a much larger one which wasdiscussed at the annual "C" dinnerheld in Hutchinson commons on june10. This larger plan is to form a Uni­versity of Chicago Alumni AthleticClub, as members of which track, fieldand tennis men may compete afterleaving the university. Hitherto theonly opportunity for such competitionhas been either unattached, which isdull, or as members of Athletic Clubteams, which destroys all old associa­tions. Whether this larger plan canbe worked out or not has been left tothe consideration of a committee of"C" men, of which Wm. Scott Bond,'97, is chairman, and L. Brent Vaughn,Hugo Friend, Clyde A. Blair andJames D. Lightbody are members.ChicagoAthletics, atthe FairFrancis Thomas Ward, '15, captainof the track team, was awarded thefirst Conference medal for excellence inathletics and schol-The Conference arship. This medalMedal is to be given eachyear to one senior ineach of the confer­ence colleges, who shall be selected byEVENTS AND DISCUSSION 247his institution in accordance with anyconditions they may decide upon. AtChicago thi;-; spring the decis.ion wasleft to a committee of deans and mem­bers of the board of .physical cultureand athletics, and Ward was unani­mously chosen. He is a graduate ofUniversity high school, a member ofPsi Upsilon, Iron Mask and Owl andSerpent, and a university marshall; hasaveraged a little above B-, and grad­uated S. B. at the June c-onvocation.His track performances this year haveincluded the hundred in 9 4-5 twice,the 220 in 21 3-5 twice, the high hurdlesin 15 2-5, and the low hurdles in 24 4-5.He is probably the fastest short dis­tance man in the country at the pres­ent time. The conference medal it­self is now being designed by R. TaitMackenzie of Philadelphia, and the diewill not be ready until later. Othersto whom the medal has been given areRouth of Purdue, football man; Willi-·ford of Illinois, basketball captain; VonLackum of Iowa, football and baseballman, and Kennedy of Wisconsin, foot­ball man.In this connection it might be in­teresting to consider the question, whatis "excellence"· in scholarship at Chi­cago. At convoca­tion thirty-eight stu-dents were an-nounced as havingbeen elected to PhiBeta Kappa. The requirements forsuch election vary under different cir­cumstances from an average of 47� to5 grade points-that is, from a littleabove B to A-. Seventy-nine studentswere announced as graduating withhonors. For this is required a generalaverage of 3� grade points, and aspecial average of 4.0 grade points inat least six senior college courses inone deparment or nine in related de­partments; that is, from a trifle be-Excellence inScholarship low B to rather above. In this groupappear the names of Harry S. Gorgas,Earl Huntington and Hubert C. Smith-one track man, one football man andone gymnast. The editor of the MAG­AZINE does not mind saying that uponbeing consulted by the ConferenceMedal Committee he recommendedWard. And yet possibly a systemshould be adopted which would require"graduation with honors" to qualify forthe medal.Similarly, what scholarship require­ments should govern the choice ofmarshals and aides by the University?The list of those re­cently appointed foI­low s : Marshals:Lawrence John Mac-Gregor, Head Mar­shal; Dan H. Brown, Rowland H.George, Charles F. Grimes, James O.Murdock, Paul S. Russell, Lawrence E.Salisbury, Laurens C. Shull, DentonH. Sparks, J ames Warren Tufts.Aides : Julia V. Dodge, Marjorie Fay,Margaret Hancock, Elsie B. Johns,Katherine Keith, Ruth Manierre, AlmaParmele, Ruth Prosser, Ruth Sand­berg, Claire Votaw. All are juniors.Of the men, two are below a B- aver­age in their studies. Inasmuch as theappointment represents the highesthonor the University administrationcan confer upon an undergraduate,should not at least a B- average beregarded as essential to it? Aside fromscholarship, the appointments are re­garded as thoroughly representative.MacGregor, head marshal, has beenchairman of the Honor Commission,and has just been elected editor . ofthe Literary Magazine; held the seniorcollege scholarship in English, and hasa scholarship average well above B.He is a member of Beta Theta Pi.Brown is Abbot of the Blackfriars andmember of Psi Upsilon.

Tufts, a son of Profes­sor Tufts, was managing editor of theCap and Gown. He is a member ofBeta Theta Pi.The University SingThe sing this year was held, as be­fore, in Hutchinson Court. Plans werefar more elaborately made than everbefore, by a committee of which Law­rence Whiting, '13, was chairman.Boxes were erected for the faculty andinvited guests on the roof of the Rey­nolds Club corridor; a screen at thenorthwest corner of the court an­nounced the groups as they came for­ward to sing, and the songs were or­dered in a schedule which was admir­ably maintained. The sing was pre­ceded by chapter dinners in the va­rious fraternity houses which assem­bled a total of something like a thou­sand graduates and undergraduates.The "Class of 1492" dinner in Hutchin­son provided for alumni who had nofraternity affiliations. From half pastseven 'till eight the band gave a con­cert; at eight the singing began, theorganizations appearing in the reverseorder of their founding, the youngestfirst. They included all the fraterni­ties but two, Washington and LincolnHouses, the class of 1914, and the wom­en of the University. Each group as­sembled at a station announced be­forehand, marched around the courtand into the center, and sang twosongs. The singing was better thanlast year. Delta Kappa Epsilon, the oldest chapter, had 120 men in line,but the best part-singing was providedby Beta Theta Pi. After the singing,which ended before ten o'clock, a dancewas held in the Reynolds Club, whichwas enormously attended. It wasdemonstrated that the sing is popular,for there was an attendance of thou­sands, who listened with unusualquiet. N ext year arrangements willhave to be made to rope off a spacefor those actually members of the Uni­versity, or else to admit by ticket only,for the crowd is beginning to j am thespace available. It is likely also thatsome provision will 'be made for"stunts," as their liveliness is missed.On the Way to the SingTHE Y. W. c. L. 249The Alumni FundThe University of Chicago AlumniClub of Chicago has planned to estab­lish a fund, to be used at first as aloan fund, at the service of selectedundergraduates at the University. Ap­plicants will be passed on by a com­mittee consisting of Dean Angell ofthe University, and a representativeof the club.The necessity of such a fund to as­sist promising students has been madevery plain of late. The Students' LoanFund of the University, and the classof 1914 loan fund, are insufficient tomeet the real demand. Every yearfirst rate men are lost to us becausethey cannot tide over their immediateexpenses; the Alumni Club fund willhelp to save them both for the Uni­versity and for their own further serv­ices to the world. The first loans fromthe alumni fund will be made next Oc­tober.You are earnestly requested to sendyour contributions to the fund-in theform of an annual subscription for fouryears, if possible-s-to George Fair­weather, treasurer, 134 S. La Sallestreet, Chicago, at your earliest con­venience. Any sum from $1.00 up­ward will be welcome, and we hope toreceive a good many subscriptions of$5.00 or $10.00 annually. Rememberthat the purpose of the fund is asmuch to unify the spirit of loyalty inthe club as to provide help to the un­dergraduates who deserve it; and thatit will be far better to get $2,000 ayear from 500 men than $10,000 fromSO.Please either j din in the plan or sendus your reason for not doing so. Forwhether you join or do not join, it isyou we want particularly, with O!'without your money.The collection and administration ofthe fund will be in charge of a com- mittee of your membership made upas follows:Wrn. Scott Bond, '97, chairman;George Fairweather, '08, secretary andtreasurer, 134 S. La Salle street, tele­phone Franklin 214; James "WeberLinn, '97; John F. Hagey, '98; Wil­loughby G. Walling, '99; Harvey Har­ris, '14.This is a good cause and we askyour earnest co-operation to further: it.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOALUMNI CLUB,Herbert P.

In addition tothis we had a desk in the hall of' Lexing­ton, where some one stayed from eightforty-five to two-thirty, and one girl in eachhall tried to get people to sign up. At theend of the campaign we had about threehundred Counsellors, all of whom under­stood their duties.

In1912 Mr. Challis sang at Bayreuth, andit was during that summer that Sieg­fried Wagner decided that he had atlast found the artist to re-create theDutchman.

His words ofcalm assurance and clear insight quick-.ly allayed our misgivings.Telling Dr. Harper of the incident,in a lull of work during his office houron the following day, he leaned backin his chair and after a moment of;musing said:"That's Henderson; he helps every­body that he meets. He helps me con­stantly. In our faculty meetings sit­uations develop which almost dismayme. Look at the great men we havebrought together here-all of themgiants in intellect and achievement, andeach intensely ambitious for the ad­vancement of his own department. Itrequires all the tact and diplomacy Ican command to keep things harmon­ious when we are arranging schedules,apportioning fellowships, etc. I re­turn to my office worn out and dis-THE LETTER BOXcouraged; and then Dr. Henderson willcome to me and talk to me in that calm,sweet way ;�f his, and I forget mytroubles and tak� fresh courage for mywork."He paused thoughtfully, and thenhe concluded:"To me that man represents JesusChrist more nearly than anyone I haveever known."ARTHUR T. WATSON.Des Moines, Iowa, April 17, 1915.Deccan, India, April 30, 1915.To the Editor:I have just received my March num­ber of the MAGAZINE. It is the divin­ity, school number. I am much inter­ested in what you say about the in­structors in the Baptist Union Theo­logical Seminary, now the DivinitySchool. In 1873-4 I was a member ofthe Union University Law School atAlbany.One of my classmates was Mr. Sad­ler, a graduate of Yale. At that timeProf. Hadley occupied the chair ofGreek at Yale. I think he was gen­erally regarded as the best Greekscholar of his day in America. I amaware that on such subjects opinionsdiffer and I say what I have said withsome hesitation. 'I was anxious to know in what esti­mation Prof. Boise was held by onecompetent to judge his standing cor­rectly. One day I asked Mr. Sadlerif he had ever heard Dr. Hadley ex­press an opinion about Dr. Boise's rankamong American scholars. He saidhe had and that Dr. Hadley said insubstance, "Prof. Sophocles of Har­vard, who is a Greek, stands first andProf. Boise of Chicago stands second."This may not be of as much inter­est to the men of this generation as itwas and is to one who knew Dr. Boisepersonally.When I was home on my last fur- 253lough in 1909 on, one occasion I wasstrongly reminded of the gulf of timethat separates the generation to which1 belong from the present one.Several graduates of the old Uni­versity and a riumber of those of theone now in existence were present ata meeting and a banquet was held.Neighbor of '67 and Whitney of '71were present and I represented '72. Iwas chatting with one of the newestgraduates and I said, "I suppose someof us look like fathers to you." , 'In­stantly he replied, "Fathers! Youaregreat grandfathers."Personally I am trying to keep upwith, the procession, and hope I ammaking some progress.Very sincerely yours,FRANK H. LEVERING, '7?-.P. S. May I add a word to say thatwe graduates of the old Universityhave reason to be grateful for the gen­erous treatment we receive from theUniversity and the MAGAZINE. 'F. H.

I feel a greatgrief at Dr. Henderson's death-just as ifsome dear, life-long friend had died; Iguess everybody at the University feelsthe same way. Your letter was the firstnews I had of it. Of Maroons I receivedonly one batch-the latest; the first musthave gotten lost somewhere; but thesewere full of interesting reading and I ammighty glad the alumni have a man likeJohn Moulds at the helm now and that theU is backing him up. I remember oncewhen I was secretary I tried 14 differentmen to get a speaker for an alumni din­ner, and no one at the University showedthe slightest interest-enough to take the"spirit" out of one. Now it looks like bet­ter times. I am back in Venice after a tripto Austria. Mrs. H. and I want very muchto come home. Venice is charming, ofcourse,-no need of my repeating the steam­ship ads-but traveling in Europe thesedays has many drawbacks. I am enclosinga few stamps-sorry I have not battlefieldrelics. I saw plenty and was not a bitinterested in them;-I liked very much theruins on the field of Waterloo and had adelightful visit there; but a modern field isjust like any other turnip field to me, onlymore disordered, bad smelling and un­healthy.The following is taken from theAnnual Report, May 19, 1915, to theBoard of Regents by President Laddof the New Mexico College of Agri­culture and Mechanic Arts:When Mr. Russell (Clarence Russell, '09)was appointed professor of physical edu­cation, I informed him that I wanted every­thing possible done for the physical wel­fare of the students, and that I did not wanthim to confine his work to the coaching ofa football team. Professor Russell hascomplied admirably and successfully withmy wishes. He was provided with physicaltesting apparatus and, subsequently, all stu- dents in the college have been required 'totake a physical examination, includingphysical measurements, strength tests, etc.Professor Russell has examined the boys,and Mrs. Winningham, under his direction,the girls. Report cards based on these ex­aminations are given to the students to­gether with advice for their individual weI ...fare. Besides military drill three times aweek for the boys, they have been encour­aged to play basketball, volleyball, base­ball and lawn tennis, in lieu of class workin physical exercises. Aside from our regu­lar teams in football, basketball and base­ball we have had a great many generalcontests, and the majority of boys haveengaged in the various sports mentionedabove. A great many students have alsopracticed for and participated in trackevents. Systematic physical drill has beengiven to the girl students, Our footballteam, which had very bad luck in the wayof physical injuries, was defeated only bythe University' of Arizona. Our baseballteam has a clean sweep of victories, havingbeen defeated only by professionals (inpractice games). Our track team has justdefeated the state university team by alarge score.I cannot speak in too high praise of thework of Professor Russell. He has workedceaselessly for the success of his depart­ment, and the results attained for this firstyear under him are all that could be de­sired. Mr. Russell is master of his pro­fession and he is conducting his work withstriking enthusiasm and loyalty.Donald Hinckley, '09, is secretaryof the Chicago Police Department, acivil service appointment.John F.

It was held at Urbana on June 5,- in perfect weather, and resulted as follows:Wisconsin 38 Minnesota. . . .. 4Chicago 37 Coe " 3�Missouri 21 Ames.. . . . . . . .. 3Illinois 18 Ohio State 3Notre Dame...... 9 Iowa... . . . . . . .. 2�De Pauw......... 8 Kansas. . . . . . .. 1Northwestern .... 7 South Dakota .. 1Lake Forest...... 5Seven Conference records were brokenand two were tied. The record in everyrun, except the quarter-mile, was tied orbroken; and the quarter was run fasterthan ever before except mice. In the fieldevents, the broad jump record was broken,and the shot, discus, high jump and polevault were won by performances much be­yond the ordinary. Altogether it was anunusually agreeable meet.Chicago began by taking first and secondin the hundred-yard dash., Ward '15 win­ning in 9 4/5 and Knight '15 being second.Ward had been expected to run the hur ..dles, but the presence of Simpson of Mis­souri, a very unusual hurdler, made it seemwiser to save Ward for the dashes. Hetook the 220 also, running both his heatand the final in 21 3/5, which tied the rec­ord. The plan was for Ward to run a slowpreliminary heat and then run also in thelow hurdles for a place; but. the excitementof the race spurred Ward on, and after hisheat it seemed unwise to try the low hur­dles. Knight was nosed out for secondin the 220 by Booth of Wisconsin-c-one ofthe little upsets each of which "decidedthe meet." In the quarter the twelve start­ers, who had qualified the day before, in- eluded Dismond '17, Breathed '15, andCornwell '16. Dismond got away so poorlythat on the first turn he was absolutelylast and fully ten yards back of the leader.On the back stretch he simply ran aroundthe bunch, finishing five or six yards aheadin 49 1/5. With a better start, Dismondcould have beaten the record without tr ou­ble. Breathed was fifth, just outside thepoints. In the half-mile Campbell '15 wasexpected to win, as he had already runthree half-miles this spring in competitionunder 1 :56. The first lap was run in 54seconds. On the backstretch Osborne ofNorthwestern tried to run away from thefield. Stegeman '15 and Stout '16 tackedon and ran themselves out, as did Os borne.Campbell then came away, winning com­fortably by about 25 yards and breakingthe record by two seconds. Stegeman andStout were sixth and eleventh, respectively.Stout, however, had previously takenthird in the mile, which a new and veryfine runner, Myers of De Pauw, won in4:19 1/5. Stout's time was 4:24. In thetwo-mile, Goodwin '15 was a great disap ...pointment, running half a lap behind thewinner, who, as expected, was Mason ofIllinois. The race was one of the finest ofthe meet, Watson of Minnesota pushingMason clear to the tape in 9 :33 2/5. Simp­son of Missouri won both hurdle races,tieing .the world's record in the high at 15seconds and breaking the Conference rec­ord in the low with 24 3/5. Simpson isvery tall and seems to take even the highhurdles almost in his stride. Packer ofAmes ran him close in the high, but in thelow Simpson won off by himself.In the field events Chicago scored onlyfive points, all. in the high jump, in whichFisher '17 tied for first at 5 :11% and Gorgas'15 tied for third at 5 :10%. Fisher's per­formance was amazing, as this is his firstyear at high jumping. In the weightsMucks of Wisconsin won the meet bytaking 12 points-firsts in the shot and268 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEdiscus and third in the hammer. There wasonly one official to watch the weight­throwing, and considerable objection hasbeen raised to the decisions on fouls, but inso close a meet such feeling is almost in­evitable.When the relay was called, the scorestood Chicago 32, Wisconsin 35. If Chi­cago won, Wisconsin must take second tocapture the meet, or third to tie it. Theother con testan ts of quality were Illinoisand Missouri, Northwestern not runningon account of the indisposition of Osborne.Campbell ran the first quarter for Chicagoin 50 1/5, beating Williams of Wisconsin byabout a yard; Stegeman of Chicago, run­ning in 50 2/5, came in ahead by twentyyards; Mathews, the Wisconsin runner,blowing up and finishing fourth. That madeChicago practically certain of the race, andin the last two relays the Chicago specta­tors, indeed all the spectators, confined theirattention to Wisconsin. At the end of thethird quarter Smith of Wisconsin was third;in the final relay Booth, running magnifi­cently, pulled into second place and tookthe meet for his university. Incidentally,Chicago broke the record, winning in3 :21 4/5; separate times, Campbell 50 1/5,Stegeman 50 2/5, Cornwell 50 3/5, Dismond50 3/5. A comparison of times and dis­tances with last year's meet follows:100-yard dash, 1914, Chicago second andthird, time 10; 1915, Chicago first and sec ..ond, time 9 4/5.220-yard dash, 1914, Chicago first andfourth, time 22; 1915, Chicago first andthird, time 21 3/5.Quarter, 1914, Chicago fourth, time 50;1915, Chicago first, time 49 1/5.Half, 19H, Chicago did not plate, time1 :55 3/5; 1915, Chicago first, time 1 :53 3/5.Mile, 1914, Chicago third, time 4 :24 4/5;1915, Chicago third, time 4 :19 1/5.Two-mile, 1914, time 9 :50 3/5; 1915, time9 :33 2/5.

Of the team, Capt. Ward andCampbell, Knight, Barancik, Breathed,Stegeman, Goodwin, Des] ardien, Gorgas,and White, who among' them won, count­ing in the relay, twenty-six of Chicago'sthirty-seven points in the Conference, areall lost by graduation. There remain Stout'16, Cornwell '16, Whiting '16, Merrill '16,Windrow '16, Dismond '17, Fisher '17, Lee'17, and Bent '17 as a nucleus; and thereare a number of promising freshmen, in­chiding Pershing, H. Clark, Hodges, Dana,Guerin, Angier, Skinner, and others. Nextyear, however, will see no such perform­ances at Chicago as this year has seen.The fourteenth annual interscholasticmeet, held on ] une 12, was also conspicu­ously successfu1. Almost every recordmade last year was beaten, and there weresome very fine performances, best amongthem Kasper's (Shattuck) half in 1 :58 andquarter in 51 1/5, and Graham's (Univer­sity High) vault of 12 feet 7� inches. LaGrange won the meet with 26 points, RockIsland and Spokane tied for second with13 each, made by a single individual ineach case. Graham and Gorgas of HydePark, who were second in the discus andthird in the shot, and Otis of Hyde Park,who won one of the mile races, enter theUniversity in October.Two relay races of interest were run atthe Interscholastic, the half-mile, each manrunning a 220, and th� two-mile, each run­ning a half. In the �tw�mile relay, Camp­be11 ran first in 1 :57 3/5, Cornwe11 second in2 :03, Stegeman third in 2 :01, Stout fourthin 1 :57 4/5; total 7 :59 2/5, which was lessthan the intercollegiate record up to thisyear. In the half-mile. relay, the old recordof 1 :29 3/5 was broken by a fifth of a sec­ond. Knight, Barancik, Dismond and Wardran, putting the intercollegiate record whereit is likely to stand for many a day.After the, meet Clyde ]. Stout '16 waselected captain for next year. Stout is amember of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Hisbest times this year have been 4 :23 in themile and 1 :57 4/5 in the half. He is alsoan excellent cross-country runner.Basebal1.-The baseball season was dis­appointing, Chicago finishing sixth amongthe Conference co11eges. There was onefundamental difficulty: the men could nothit. The battery work was up to the aver­age the fielding good, and the spirit ex­cell�nt, but aside from Capt. Gray, Cavin,and F. B. McConnell there was no onewhose presence at bat could be said reallyto menace the opposing pitcher. Almost allthe games lost were by low scores, but theywere lost. At the close of the season, onJune 10, a game was played between the'Varsity and the alumni, which was wonby the alumni, 5 to 3. In the first inning,before Howe '04 had warmed to his work,ATHLETICSthe 'Varsity scored three runs; thereafterfor eight innings they could not get a manacross the plate. The alumni team wasmade up as follows: Howe '04, pitcher;Steinbrecher, ex '11, catcher; Page '10, firstbase and pitcher; Bohnen '15, second base;Boyle '11, shortstop; Sauer '12, third base;Place '02, Moulton '07, and Libonati '14,outfielders. The game was altogether toowell played to be amusing, the alumni hit­ting well and fielding brilliantly. Place, theoldest man in the game, misjudged a fly inthe first inning, but made up for it soonafterwards by a brilliant diving catch whichhas 110t been bettered on the field this year.At the close of the game Laurens C. Shull'16 was elected captain for next year.Sh ull is fr o m Sioux City, Iowa; he willbear the burden of the pitching next sea­son. He is a tackle on the football team,member of the Alpha Delta Phi, Iron Mask,Owl and Serpent, and a university marshal.Prospects for next year's team are excel­lent, the freshman class providing somegood material in Wiedemann, Gerdes, Ru­dolph, Owen, Larkin, and Calm. Capt.Gray Des} ardien, and Kixmiller, all goodmen,' are, however, lost by graduation.Tennis.-Chicago lost the Intercollegiatesingles championship, retaining the doubleschampionship. In the preliminary roundsin singles, Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesotaand Lake Forest were eliminated. In thesemi-finals, Dennett '16 beat VV. James ofN or th wes ter n, 6-4, 6-4, and Curran of OhioState beat Capt. MacN eal '17, 6-4, 8-6, Mac­Neal throwing the game a way by sheer stu­pidity. In the finals, Curran beat Bennett,6-1, 1-6� 6-3, 6-2. This is said to be thefirst conference championship in any sportwhich Ohio State has won. In the doublesMacNeal and Gross '16 heat the Jamesbrothers of Northwestern, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 8-6.MacN eal is much the best player among theConference colleges, but he will never ac­complish much unless he learns a littlejudgment and a little industry on the courts.The article on Conference tennis which fol­lows is taken from the Christian Science1\;1 anita r of June 15, and was written byFreel Carr '09."The outcome of the matches throwssome Iigh t on the general run of tennischampionships in the West. Out of the 21years that western honors have beencounted, Chicago has won the singles title13 times, Michigan four (dropping out in1905), Minnesota three, Cornell College,Ia., and Ohio State once each. This year isthe first that any college in the conferenceoutside of Chicago and Minnesota hasbroken in for a(_doublt:S' cha mpioriship."The reason for-n�e- monopoly by Chicagoand in a lesser degree by Minnesota issimple. These institutions are situated inhig cities where excellent tennis clubs arefostered. These clubs are the workingplaces of the best tournament players intheir vicinities and with Chicago that gen­erally means th1 best in the West. YoungJ 269players grow up in the clubs or, gaining alittle skill at a later age, make it a point tojoin them early. Coming into college theyare already finished players. Chicago hasdrawn the majority of its long list of win­ners from these boys who learned the gameat the tennis clubs of the city and went tocollege near home."Tennis is a game that it is not possibleto develop within the four years of collegeA man will improve a great deal in school;but if he is not pretty close to an expertwhen he enters, the prospects are that hewill not be a star when he graduates. Be­cause of this fact, Chicago's predominancein the game appears, on the whole inevit­able, and moreover, looks likely to continueas long as the big city retains its hold 011the best tennis players in the West. Minne­sota and Northwestern should figure, thePurple for more than it has."To check up these statements, look overthe list of winners, singles and doubles, forthe last ten years, back to 1905, when Mich­igan failed for the first time to put in ateam. .C. L. Garnett, the champion insingles and mainstay in the winning doublesteam of that year, learned the game inChicago's famous Kenwood Country ClubW. T Hayes, next year's winner, was alto­gether a phenomenon, a home-made playerfrom Cornell College. The man who mostfircely contested his right to the title wasRichard Loesch, a Wisconsin man, wholived in Chicago and was a prominent mem­ber of the Aztec Club. Garnett won inthe doubles. The next season saw PaulGray, Garnett's doubles partner, ann�x histhird doubles title and take the sin g Ie s.Gray is one of Chicago's few exceptions tothe rule. He learned most of his game incollege. Gray's partner in the winning dou­bles of this year and runner up in the sin­gles, Fred Carr, was another Kenwoodman. Ross, champion in 1908, and Gard­ner, 1910 winner, were also Kenwood Clubmembers. Green and Squair, winners in1913 and 1914, are from the WanderersClub, the city's leading tennis institutionsince the disbanding of the Kenwood 0r­ganization. Going back to earliest history,C. B. N eel and W. S. Bond, who held the titlefrom 1894 to 1897, didn't simply learn thegame in clubs, they were the best in theirvicinity. Both of them ranked third na­tionallv while in college and Bond gradu­ated when he was 20 years old."Notes.-Among the C's given out thisspring was one to Wah Kai Chang, a Chi­nese, who has been a baseball outfielder.H. R. Gross, with MacNeal winner of thetennis doubles, and Capt. T. Hollingsworthand Hubert C. Smith of the gymnastic team,also received the letter. Des] ardien got aC for both baseball and track, which giveshim four a year for three years, the larg­est possible number nowadays. ClarenceHerschberger '98, got 13, but that was inthe days of five-year competition.270 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEFEILCHENFELD BROS.Grocery, Market11111111111111111111111111", .. 1111111111111111111111111111111111111.and Bakery I III III II II 111111 II 11111 III II III II 111111111 11111 11111111111 1 III 1 11111 r1334 East Fifty-Fifth StreetPhones Hyde Park591DISTRIBUTORSViolet Brand Coffee, BakingPowder, Flavoring Extracts.SUPREME QUALITY WANTEDStudents or Teachers, eithersex, to work during vacationperiod or permanently.
