In a way it attempts to bridgethe gap of three months since the Julyissue. In general, congratulations maysafely be extended. Th'e Associationis not contented with what has beendone; the University is a long wayfrom being self-complacent; but every­where there is belief that progress isbeing' made as far as the M aqaeine it­self is concerned. In November, 1914,the editor wrote: "In two years letus .have twice as big a magazine, andthe circulation to support it." Well,we had both before the two years wereup. The size of the magazine doesn'tmean much, but the circulation does.It stands at twenty-seven hundredwith this issue. When it, goes tothirty-five hundred, it will be time fora weekly. What do you say? Atpresent, by the way, the, high priceof pap�r is seriously affecting us, Eachissue of the M aqasine, if of 48 pages,costs approximately fifty dollars morefor paper alone than it did last spring.Save your rags. Last spring the J.l;I agazine referredtwice to the possibility of engagingfor the Alumni Association a perma-. nent secretary, whoConcerning a should have in chargePermanent all the alumni activi-Secretary I ties, including editorialand business manage­ment of the Magazine. A committeewas appointed, with Professor Slaughtas chairman, and investigation of thesituation was vigorously begun. Al­together thirty different "names weresuggested, and more than twenty leadswere followed up, by correspondenceand personal consultation. The, netresult was a definite modification ofthe original idea.It was found that on the basis ofavailable funds the whole time of anexperienced man with both editorialcapacity and business .ability couldnot be secured. This situation havingbeen presented to the administrativeauthorities of the University, at theirsuggestion; was presented a budget show­ing ,the amount which the councilcould safely assume, and the amountwhich the University would need toassume, to carry through a modifica­tion of the plan. The modified schemeincluded-a-1. A direct, cash subsidy of $2,000.6 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE2. Continuation of the, past edi­torial conduct of the Magazine.3. A.n 'arrangement with the busi­ness manager whereby the Universityassumes entire responsibility' for. hiscompensation, and, moreover, defi­nitely designates a part of his time asofficially to be given to Alumni work.4. 'Appointment of an assistant sec­retary, to be paid by 'the council asalary of .$1,000, this to come from thecommissions formerly paid for sub­scriptions' and for advertising, andfrom additional subsidy by the Uni­versity, That assistant, secretary,Lawrence J. Macfiregor, 1916, hasbeen selected and is now at work, Mr.MacGregor is a member of Phi BetaKappa, Beta Theta Pi, and Owl andSerpent; as art undergraduate he washead marshal, chairman of the HonorCommission,' editor of the LiteraryMonthly, and concerned in. manyother college activities. He gives, ofcourse, his whole time to the Alumniwork.During the progress of the negotia­tions "the committee had" -the enthusi­astic cooperation of President Judsonand of the, 'auditor, Trevor Arnett,who presented the whole matter to theBoard of Trustees in a final form thatwas adopted without hesitation. Therecan be no question that the business .affairs of the Association are now ina form which makes continuation ofits recent progress inevitable.Beginning with the summer quarterof 1917, the tuition fee .in t4e Collegeswill 'be raised from .forty to fifty dol­lars a quarter. Stu­Tuition Fee : dents who matriculateRaised before that time willnot be subject to; thechange in fee. The change is madepartly because at present the fee isso much lower than 'in . most endowedcolleges or universities of Chicago'stype, and partly to give greater: op- portunity to provide for the instruc­tion, of the thousands who are 'now al­ways in attendance. It is not likely toreduce this' attendance; indeed, the ef­fect even on increase will probably be .negligible. But if it does change therate of increase, it is obvious that nogreat harm will result. When the new.rates are fully in operation they willadd considerably over $100,000 a yearto the present available income.The attendance in the summer quar­ter of 1916 exceeded the attendance forthe summer quarter of 1915 by 1,053.; In the Graduate SchoolsAttendance 2,031 were registered,including 1,172 menand 859 women. In the Senior Col­legesthere were 455, in the Junior Col­leges 306, and among the unclassifiedstudents 733, the total of the collegesbeing 1,494. In the Divinity Schoolthere were 336, in the Medical courses138, in the Law School 203, and in theCollege of Education. 1,373, making atotal for the professional schools of2,050. The total for the University,excluding duplications, was 2,531 menand 2,893 'women, or 5,424 in all. Thelarger number of women is a featurepeculiar to the summer quarter.This fall the total attendance is3,617, which is greater by: 358 th�nlast year at this time.. The actualpercentage of increase is mu'eh the·'saine all along the line,. in the Colleges,the- Graduate Schools, and t4� 'Profes­sional Schools. The Junior Collegeshave grown. 'from 1,240 to 1,348, theSenior Colleges from 639 to 771; 'theunclassified students having droppedfrom 118 't9 110, there is a total in­crease 'among the undergraduates. of232, or from 1,997 to 2,229.' The Gradu- 'ate Schools .have advanced from 601 .to 648, a gain of, 47. The. DivinitySchool has increased from 133 to:' 155,the Medical School from 181 to' 209;, the" Law' School' from 232, to 264, andEVENTS AND DISCUSSION 7the College of Education from 349 to369. The comparative percentages ofmen and women are, in the Junior Col­leges, men 60 per cent and women 40per cent; in the Senior Colleges, men55 per cent, women 45 per cent; inthe Graduate Schools, men 65 percent, women 35 per' cent; in Divinity,Medicine and Law, men 91 per cent,women 9 per cent; and in the Collegeof Education, men 12 per cent, women88 per cent. Figures on the Freshmenactually entering from preparatoryschools are not yet available, but theynumber approximately 680, comparedto 630 last year.Three hundred and sixteen degrees,titles, and certificates were conferredby the University at its One-hun­d red t h ConvocationThe September on September 1. InConvocation the Colleges of Arts,Literature, Science andCommerce and Administration, therewere one hundred and two candi­dates for the Bachelor's degree;in the College of Education, thirty­four. In the Law School there werefour candidates for the degree ofBachelor of Laws and twelve for thedegree of Doctor of Law (J. D.). Inthe Divinity School ten students re­ceived the degree of Master of Arts,four that of Bachelor of Divinity, andtwo that of Doctor of Philosophy. Inthe Graduate Schools there wereseventy-seven candidates for the de­gree of Master of Arts or of Science,and thirty-one for that of Doctor ofPhilosophy,' a total of one hundred andeight. Among the graduates were fourChinese and one Japanese, one of theformer receiving the highest degree ofthe Law School, that of Doctor of Law(J. D.), and the Japanese student re­ceiving the Bachelor's degree from theDivinity School. In fact, the wide dis­tribution of the student constituencyof the University is illustrated by the fact that seven foreign countries, aswell as thirty-six states, were repre­sented among the graduates. Thesecountries were Canada, Chile, China,England, J apart, the Philippine Islandsand the Straits Settlements."Constructive Citizenship," the Con­vocation address, was given by Presi­dent Samuel Chiles Mitchell, Ph. D.,D. D., LL� D�, of Delaware College,Newark, Delaware. President Mitchellreceived his Doctor's degree at theUniversity of Chicago in 1899 for workin the Department of Political Scienceand History, After holding professor­ships in several southern colleges, Dr.Mitchell becam e president of the Uni­versity of South Carolina in 1908, andfive years later accepted the presidencyof Delaware College. He has receivedthe honorary degree of Doctor ofLaws from Hampden-Sidney College,Brown University, and Baylor Uni­versity, Texas.At the September convocation Presi­dent J udson again called particular at­tention to the need at the Universityof prOVISlOlI for aSchool of Medicine.The income of approx­imately $2,000,000 isbeing used in giving instruction in thetwo years' work of the basal pre­medical sciences on the quadrangles,but there is needed to complete theschool provision for, a clinical schooland a clinical staff on the Midway. Inthe judgment of President Judson, thefirst need is for a hospital wholly underthe control of the Univer.sity; andsecond, adequate .endowrnent so thatthe hospital need not be financed, byincome from its patients, and the medi­cal faculty need not have recourse topersonal practice. President Judsonsaid: "1 believe the University's func­tion is to provide rigorous training fora small number ,of the best men, andsimultaneously to train men as medi-MateriaMedica8 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEcal teachers and experts in medical re­search." No discussion based on factof the outlook for such opportunitiesfor training at the University is pos­sible at the present time, for there areno facts to go upon. The Magazinehopes to present in the near future anauthoritative statement of the de­mands and possibilities of such an in­stitution for research study in. medi­cine as is looked forward to here. Ofcourse, the relation of the, University ,to Rush Medical College is' wellknown, and the splendid work in thetraining of physicians which Rush hasdone and is doing. A school of medi­cine, at the University would not s'eekin any way to duplicate the work ofRush.' It would rather occupy a posi­tion analogous to that of the graduateschools' already established. Certainlythe establishment of such a medicalschool is far, nearer the probabilitynow than it was three years ago, andhe would be 'a bold man who wouldventure to wager that. the Freshmenwho are entering the University thisfall will not have the opportunity ofgoing on directly after their gradua­tion into medical research of the mostpractical and most rigorous sort with-_,out leaving the quadrangles of theirown institution.Announcement has been sent to themembers of Spelman House that sincethe opening, of Ida Noyes Hall doesaway with the funda­mental need, of Spel­man .

During the years 1898-1916, theheads of- Spelman House have been.Mrs. Edith Foster Flint .. Mav, 1898-October, 1898; Miss Gertrude Dudley,October, 1898-1909; and Mrs. CharlesR. Henderson, 1909-1916.

Theclassin military drill 'begun last springis again being carried on this fall byDr. Von N oe. In this connection itmay be pointed out that three mem­bers of the faculty are on leave of 'ab­sence arid serving in the campaigns oftheir respective nations in Europe.

Nothing approachingit has ever before been experienced,and to those who gave of their time andenergy to bring about the results theUniversity is under lasting obligation.By the rank and file of the Alumni ofthe Colleges, the fact that the DivinitySchool was at the same time celebrat­ing its Fiftieth Anniversary was per­haps too often overlooked. There wasperhaps also in this' same directiontoo little appreciation of the remark­able response accorded by the Doctorsof the University to the invitation toreturn and spend a few days on ourgrounds. One of the most remarkablegatherings which' occurred was theAlumni luncheon to the Doctors ofPhilosophy, at which nearly one-fourthof the eligible persons were present,filling to overflowing the accommoda­tions of the Quadrangle Club diningroom and porch. They representedmen and women who have achievedhigh distinction in every walk of aca­demic and professional life.Incident to these celebrations wasthe announcement of two remarkablegifts, one of $200�OOO for a DivinityBuilding, the donor for the time beinganonymous, the other of a sum con­servatively estimated at $2,000,000,contributed .by Mr. Hobart W. Wil­liams in memory of his parents, cer­tain portions of the income of the cap­ital to come to the University at once,and the entire sum to be availableupon the decease of the donor. Th�latter gift is made for the encourage­ment of a high type of training forbusiness arid will, under our presentorganization, be available for the de­velopment of the School of Commerceand Administration. With such re­sources in hand, and with the presentadmirable organization of this divisionof the University, there is every rea­son to believe that there will be estab­lished at Chicago the 'most completefacilities for training of this characterto be found anywhere. Another interesting feature of theyear was the retarn of the Wasedabaseball team, one of whose games wasscheduled for the Celebration week.Although the visitors failed to carryback any victories over our team, theymade the pleasant est impression as agroup of manly and well-bred youngfellows, who represented their countrywith great dignity and' played a thor­oughly courageous and sportsmanlikegame. We hope that they may visitus again.Once more 'the attendance of theUniversity has shown a large increase.The Summer Quarter just past was inparticular of unprecedented size, 5,419students being registered as against4,369 students of the previous year.The total attendance from July 1, 191.5,to July 1, 1916, was 8,510, as comparedwith 7,781 in the previous year. Thegain has been distributed rather gen­erally over the University. With theexception of the Summer Quarter, thelargest absolute increase has been asfor a number of years past in the Col­leges. It seems impossible to supplysufficient opportunities for collegiateinstruction to the young people of thispart of the country. Our own experi­ence in the rapid increase of theseundergraduate college students is re-'fleeted in the attendance figures ofpractically all the other large institu-tions in our neighborhood. �Ida Noyes Hall is now in daily useby the young women of the University,playing a much needed part in the de­velopment of the life of our womenstudents. Unfortunately, the comple­tion of the gymnasium and the nata­torium has .been somewhat delayed,. sothat these parts of the building are­not as yet in full operation. Presum­ably the Divinity Building will bestarted before long, and we may ven­ture to hope that the day may not befar distant when other buildings men­tioned by the President in recent state­ments may be added to our grounds.EVENTS AND DISCUSSION 13We need at present very greatly anadministration building, and .a high'school building. Our 'work is in manyparticulars being very seriously handi­capped by the absence of these struc-turesv IThe only new departure in the wayof developing facilities of instructionis the bringing together for purposesof military training of groups of courseswhich can be rnade useful for this pur­pose. It is not the intention of the University at present to reestablishthe old cadet corps, ,A rifle club- hasbeen formed under the direction ofProfessor Von N oe, but adopting theadvice of General Leonard Wood, theUniversity will expect students, whodesire to secure the 'practical trainingof the camp and field to secure this inconnection either with state militaryorganizations or. with the summercamps of the Federal Government.JAMES R. ANGELL.The Annual Chapel ServiceThe annual comm�morative chapelservice was held on Tuesday, October 2,in Mandel. The first service was heldon Saturday, October 1, 1892, at half­pa.st 12, in Cobb Hall. The order ofexercises at that time has been followedannually since, in very nearly the sameform. President Judson, comparingthematerial aspects of the University in1892 and now, said:"At the opening in that auturrin therewere approximately 100 members of thefaculty; there are at the present time'approximately 400. At that time matri­culation was Just beginning; up to Oc�tober'IJ 1?16, there have been 62,886matriculants. In that first year, endingJune 30, 1893, there were 742 students;in the year ending June 30, 1916, therewere 8,510 students. There have been10,280 degrees conferred. The groundsof the University comprised in theformer instance about 25 acres; thegrounds at the present time, on both sidesof the Midway? but not including theland at Lake Geneva in connection withthe Yerkes Observatory, comprise nearly100 acres. The buildings then readywere Cobb Hall and the residence hallsimmediately south; there are now ap­proximately 40. buildings in the quad­rangles. The gifts paid in on the Ist ofOctober, 1892, amounted to $925,8i3.08; the gifts paid in on October 1, 1916,amount�d to $41,068,510.56. It may beadded that there are now gifts, pledgedand payable in the future, amounting to$4,423,600. Therefore, at this time, thetotal assets of the' Uriiversity, includingland, buildings and their equipment, andinvested funds, amount to' $45,492,110.56�- "The growth of the University in these,years has been interesting and inspiring!'At the same time the most', significantthing, the heart of the' University, infact, is not so much its material plant,its superb buildings, and its large, en­dowments, as its great body .of alumniscattered .throughout the entire country,and indeed, throughout the entire world.Many of them are reaching middleIife,and they have in very many cases alreadymade their mark on the communities inwhich they live. The future of the Uni-,versity may' show other great increasesin material power. It is hoped and be ...lieved, however, that the growth in spirit­ual energy .in its alumni, in the" spiritof research and the desire to ascertaintruth among the faculty and g.raduatestudents, will keep pace with what maybe done in mere -financial growth. Tilebest that I can wish to the students thatar� gathered here today is that they maybe true to the, best traditions of studentsand faculty and alumni in the quarter-14 rne UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEcentury just closing. The essence of thatspirit is this: That the primary questionshall be, not what one can get from theUniversity, but what one can put intothe University. That is the true spiritof loyalty. It is that spirit which hasmade the University worth loving and worth serving in the years past. It isthat spirit, and really that alone, whichwill make the University worth lovingand worth serving in the years to come;and in token of that spirit we will closeour exercises today by all uniting in sing­ing the Alma Mater."Some New Members of the FacultySince January 1, 1916, appointmentsto the faculty of instructors or to higherranks have included one woman andtwelve men.

The gift iswithout conditions. As an undergradu­ate Nash was instrumental in the organ­ization and arrangement of the Club li­brary, and it" is natural that his interestshould continue. Nevertheless, the gifthas attracted wide newspaper attention,and for a very simple reason. It is oneof the few examples of an immediateacknowledgment, on graduation, of thevalue to a man of his college training.Based on the fact-it is a fact-thatNash worked his way through college,a vast amount of newspaper sentimenthas been expended on this investment of his "savings." The sentiment is wasted.Nash paid his way as a" hundred othersare doing, without fuss or hardship, andhad time left over to pursue his owninterests in college affairs. Now, afterleaving college, he finds that his interesthas not diminished, and promptly ac­knowledges the fact. It is only thepromptness that is a little unusual.The library was begun by subscriptionin 1912, and has been steadily added toby each administration since, until atpresent it contains approximately four­teen hundred volumes, divided into eightclasses, included Modern Fiction, Mod­ern Drama, Modern Essays, Recent Biog­raphy, Travel, Sports, Education, andThe University of Chicago.

Leroy Baldridge, 1911, F Troop, Fi.rstHlinois Cavalry, has been spending a long vacationon the Mexican border. The regiment published aweekly paper, the First Illinois Cavalryman, which ranfor twelve issues, from July 22 to October 15, whenthe cavalry were called home. The file of 'the C avalry­man is going to be worth money some day; none theless because Corporal Baldridge illustrated each num­ber with sketches or a cartoon.

The rain,of course, was too bad. It spoiled ourexit. But no one except the Devil couldbe blamed for that. We did wonder,though, why we were kept standing atthe station without shelter, drenched andmuddy, for two hours while they huntedup our train.At the Springfield mobilization campwe lived on rumors. Every hour therewas someone with "inside dope" concern­ing Carranza, Mexico, or Wilson's plans.The men were anxious to get to the bor­der .. So one evening when the colonelannounced that we "were' ordered toBrownsville, Texas, the hot bed of thewhole trouble," the regiment went wild.With cheers they took the federal oath,and meant it. They were going to war.The journey southward was a tour oftriumph. At every town squads ofpicked belles were lined up with kegsof lemonade; baskets of sandwiches, icecream freezers, and 'local post cards sup­plied by the Chamber of Commerce. Bythe time We got to Brownsville we, north­erners, would have fought at the dropof the hat for Texas against the world.Then, however, luck vanished. .It rained, rained and rained.

Shovel­ing manure on a stable shift from 4 :45a. m. to 10 :30 p. m., is really not at allromantic. Nor does washing pots, clean­ing out horses' hoofs or digging latrines,at all resemble that lithograph whichused to hang on the school house walldepicting the husky soldier with the band­age around his head waving a tatteredflag over . the captured cannon. We set­tled down to the monotonous dailyroutine of garrison life.Some of the girls at Denison, Texas,who had passed out the ice cream in theircharming manner,. forgot to write sooften-and it looked as if real war wouldnot come anyway.Finding this work quite as much of abore as making a living in Chicago, manysuddenly grew sentimental over their de­pendent families, and others came to the22 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEconclusion that, after all, they ought totake a college course.If, at the time at which I write, re-en­listment blanks were issued to the menon the border, it is certain that not threeout of a hundred would sign them.Among the officers, though, this is nottrue, for a great proportion are havinga better time and making more moneythan they do at home.There are reasons for this dissatisfac­tion other than the stiff- work which themen have been forced to do and thehardship of not being sent off at onceto shoot real lead into real men. Forthe troops, in fact, have begun to realizethat hard work is necessary, and thatto be good soldiers they must forget in­dividuality and freedom, become used to.a rigid schedule of life where every min­ute is dished out- in orders to the "top"sergeant, and make of themselves meremachines. Dissatisfaction came prim­arily because the men lost confidence intheir officers and non-corns. In manycases squads found that the man incharge was not able to instruct them be­cause he did not know his business him­self-sometimes knew less about soldier­ing than they did, and troops discoveredthat some of their officers had no judg­ment, no self-control in times of excite­ment, and insufficient technical knowl­edge to command, them.Just the other day, in maneuvers atPalo Alto a squadron charged its ownmen while still a mile from the opposingSIde. Then as Brigadier-General Allen of the Iowa forces remarked: "Thereare many officers who think that theycan get up a caste system. They willhave to get over thatjdea."The American isn't strong for castes.And he is apt to criticize such customsas are in vogue in one regiment. It hap­pened at this place that a man of nationalprominence was being entertained. Adinner was appropriate. There weremany guests. Half of them were ladies.There was ,also punch. But an uninvitedguest· was in the punch.Now, in a camp, there is a bugle callat 10 p. m., called Taps, and at Tapsall lights must be out and no man musttalk; no man, that is, except the officers.Taps came and went Couldthe men be blamed for cursing when themusic kept them a wake, orfor standing at a safe distance to' watchladies walk on the tables? orfor stealing a bit of punch on the slyor could the "buck" private beblamed for grinning in an unsoldierlymanner when the Man' of N ationalProminence approached him about onea. m. with this:"Oh, Captin, I say, Captin.

Preparedness Paradesonto» BonOE�,:24 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEFraternities and their ScholarshipNineteen fraternities are now repre­sented at the University, -one, DeltaChi, having been added at the' close ofthe Autumn Quarter 1915. Their un­dergraduate direction is in generalcharge of the Interfraternity Council,which meets at irregular intervals, gen­erally on call. The Council itself issupervised by the Board 'of StudentOrganizations and Publications; theparticular member of the Board incharge being Dean Linn. One hun­dred seventeen pledges were an­nounced on October 17, an increaseof, ten over last year, the numberpledging to each chapter varying fromseven to fourteen. There are at pres­ent two pledging systems at the Uni­versity. Seventeen fraternities pledgemen at any time after the candidateshave received their certificate of grad­uation from preparatory school. Two,Alpha Delta Phi and Delta Kappa Ep­silon, do not pledge until the thirdMonday after the opening of the quar­ter. In the past' considerable frictionhas arisen from the conflict of these'two systems, and in October of thisyear Alpha, Delta Phi was foundguilty by the Interfraternity Councilof pledge tampering. The "rushing"is by interfraternity agreement con- fined to boys who have at least reachedtheir final half-year in high school,and (in the case of University High,which is a part of the University) whohave graduated, "Rushing" is alsolimited to the quadrangles or their nearneighborhood, to certain hours, and inexpense. ,Initiation is forbidden bythe University until the student hasgained at least three majors credit withat least five grade-points; if he hasmore than three majors he must benot on probation. _The general scholarship of the fra­ternities remains much the same fromyear to year.' Although no figures' areavailable - for all men, or for thewomen, the general undergraduate av­erage even of the men alone is prob­ably somewhat higher than the fra­ternity average. In the year just closedall chapters but two .averaged at leastC; in 1914�15, all but one.

R. Kuh '17. Mr.Kuh was last year managing editor of the Maroon,and is now managing editor of the Litemry Magazine.His 'articles will consist of news notes altogether,and. will relate to all undergraduate affairs, exceptathletics. This department, in conjunction with TheUniversity Record) which concerns itself with the fac­ulty, will aim to give a complete resume of univer-sity affaJrs.-Ed.] r 'With the sound of the academic gong atthe outset of the Autumn quarter, the wheelsof undergraduate affairs, as represented bysocial, political, literary, oratorical, dramatic,religious, and musical activities were set inmotion. Many organizations started the sea­son, early for the. sake of welcoming incom­ing students. With the doors of Ida Noyeshall flung wide, university women saw theirsphere in a brighter light; the attractivenew headquarters seemed to add zest to thewomen's ventures; the building's countlessadvantages seemed to assure success inevery en terprise.The Y. W. C. L. entertained new womenat a series of informal teas during the firstweek of college. Representatives of under-'graduate bodies spoke on campus activitiesat a mass meeting on October 3 in Mandel,under the auspices of the Women's Admin­istrative Council; on the following day, theW .. A. A. gave its annual fall reception to 'freshman, women,-offering a program ofniusical comedy, dancing and athletic events.Pauline Levi, '17, president of the W. A. A.,delivered an address on the purpose of theassociation, and Barbara Miller, ·'17, acted asgeneral chairman of the occasion. N eigh-,borhood clubs' collaborated in -an Ida Noyes"mixer" during the same week.' The League'sFreshman Frolic was held on October 13.Over thirty women participated in the fea­ture of the evening, a farce en titled, "Who'sWho, or Big League or Bush," by ElizabethMacClintock, '17; Elizabeth Bell, '19, playedthe leading role. Two informal, "get-ac­quainted" dances in Ida Noyes, arranged byMrs. George Goodspeed" director of the hall,completed three weeks of rapid-fire hos­pitality to the campus strangers. The for­mal opening of the hall, to be held on N 0-vember 3, will be conducted by the Women'sAdministrative Council and will be an all­University celebration.The annual popularity of the Y. M. C. A.was manifested during- the opening days ofthe quarter, when the ninth volume of the"C" book was distributed. The 1916 volumeis edited by Max Miller; '18, and is the usualvaluable Baedeker of campus informationand etiquette. On October· 6, a stag forfreshmen was held, and The Maroon missedthe chance to head its story, "Stagg Speaksa t Stag"; other addresses were made by Associate Professor Robertson, CaptainJackson of ,the Varsity eleven, and NormanHart, '17, president of the Y. M. C. A. Lawschool freshmen were the guests of theY. M. C. A., at a smoker on October 11; Wil­liam' McCracken, '07, was the principalspeaker of the evening. The associationstarted its weekly luncheons for membersof the class of 1920 on October 20.The Daily Maroon circulation campaignwas launched auspiciously when a shrewdbusiness manager selected thirty comelycampus women as his SUbscription agents.The editorial staff has been augmented bytwenty candidates. "The Campus Whistle,"a column of pointed paragraphs, is an addedfeature in this year's paper; it is signed byT. E. H . .;_meaning The Editor Himself,Harry Swanson, '17. The Chicago LiteraryMagazine appear-ed on the campus October23, containing two short stories, one of muchlocal color by Samuel Kaplan, '14, and theother by Walter Snyder, '18, an essay byJohn Grimes, '17, an article on the late Pro­fessor Robert F. Hoxie by a well knownlabor leader, a poem by Rudolph Altrocchi,of the romance department, a review of theHarvard drama, "Common Clay," and twoeditorials.Appointments made by the UndergraduateCouncil during October are: Francis Town­ley, '17, Maroon basketball captain, and N or­man Hart, '17, Varsity baseball captain, ascheerleaders for' the autumn quarter; EarlBondy, '17, to the managership of interclassathletics: Lyndon Lesch, '17, to the chair­manship of University Night; CarletonAdams, '18, and Helen Driver, '18, to fillvacancies on the Honor Commission; andHarold Huls, '17, to the directorship of classticket sales. The Freshman-Sophomore"mixer," held 'on' October 20 in Bartlett, wasconducted under the Council's supervision.The Council set N ovember 2 as the 'date forthe nomination of class officers, and choseDecember 8 for the annual Settlement dance.At a recent meeting, the Council decided touphold the system adopted at the referen­dum last spring, allowing, franchise only tostudents who have purchased class tickets.Political interest on the campus centers'about the organizations formed to supportthe candidates and principles of the Repub­lican, Democratic and Socialist parties. TheHughes club and the Wilson club wereformed the first week of the quarter. Thelatter, of which Donald Sells, '17, is presi­dent, held a meeting in Mandel hall Tues­day night, October 24, at which Dean Linn·and Miss MacDowell were speakers. TheSocialist club, with Max Haleff as president,forming a chapter of the Intercollegiate So-THE UNIVERSITY RECORDcialist society, plans to support the Bensoncause with no less enthusiasm than thatshown by the followers of the two rivalcandidates. Franklyn Chandler, '17, wasnamed to head the Republican club, whichwas addressed by Dean Lewis of the Uni­versity of Pennsylvania on October 18 inMandel.The plan to put at least three undergrad­uates on the team has aroused unusual in­terest in debating, particularly amongthe lower classmen, whose organization,Chideb, is engaged in lively competitionwith the graduates in the law school. Un­der the directorship of Coach Moulton, Chi­cago debaters will, on the night of January19, argue with Northwestern and Michiganthe question: Resolved, that the FederalGovernment Should Levy a Progressive In­heritance Tax .. Members of the team willbe chosen at the final try-outs on October27.The Reynolds' club announces a thousanddollar gift from James Vincent. Nash, '15,for the upkeep of its library. This sum willbe paid in yearly installments of one hun­dred dollars. At the end of this ten-yearperiod, Nash proposes to establish an en- 27dowment fund, which will guarantee the per­manent maintenance of the library. As amember of the committee which helped toestablish and install the club library twoyears ago, Nash not only catalogued andshelved the books, but contributed four hun­dred volumes from his own rather large col­lection. That the library is being freelyused by the club members is attested in theannouncement of Mr. English that to date,about thirty volumes are missing from itsshelves. Among these are Pepys' Diary,Shaw's "Man and Superman," Gray's "Dic­tionary of Synonyms," Tolstoi's "Anna Ka­renina," and Wells' "Nonsense Anthology."The club itself, with a membership ap­proximating six hundred, will contribute tothe gaiety of the campus with its customaryprogram of dances and smokers. I ts firstinformal was held on Friday night, October20. The other campus organizations, includ­ing Blackfriars, the Dramatic club, the Cos­mopolitan club, El Centro Espanol, and theChess and. Checker club, have begun func­tioning, and will continue throughout theyear, with more or less vigor, to relieve thetedium of undergraduate existence. •Frederick R. �uh, '17.The University RecordThe next Convocation orator will be theChinese Minister to the United States, Mr.v. K. Wellington Koo. His address willbe given at the One hundred and first Con­vocation on December 19. Mr. Koo willbe the second Chinese to give a: Convoca­tion address at the University of Chicago,the first being Mr. Wu Ting-Fang, whowas orator at the Spring Convocation of1901. Mr. Wu at that time was Ministerof China to the United States.The growth of the medical courses ofthe University may be noted in the recentdivision of the Department of Physiology,which hitherto has included Physiology,Physiological Chemistry and Pharmacology.By the action of the Board of Trustees twodepartments are created, that of Physiologyand that of Physiological Chemistry andPharmacology. Of the first-named depart­ment Professor Anton ]. Carlson becomeschairman, and of the other Professor AlbertP. Mathews. Professor Carlson, who wasat one time engaged in research work atthe Carnegie Institution, has been connectedwith the University of Chicago since 1904,and during these twelve years has con­ducted experiments in his particular fieldof research that are, in part, set forth ina work soon to be published by the U ni­versity of Chicago Press, entitled The C an­tral of Hunger in Health and Disease.Professor Carlson was secretary of the American Physiological Society for sixyears until 1915. Professor Mathews cameto the University of Chicago from the Harv­ard Medical School in 1901. He has givenmuch time' to original investigations in, parthenogenesis, upon the nature of nerveimpulse, in pharmacology, and in chemicalbiology, _Dr. Nathaniel Butler has been appointedDean of the University College, the down­town college of the University, to succeedProfessor Otis W. Caldwell, who has askedto be relieved on account of the combinedpressure of his university teaching and sci­entific research. During the administrationof Dean Caldwell the registration in theUniversity College has increased more than45 per cent. In 1912-13 there were 941 dif­ferent students enrolled; in 1915-16 therewere 1,368, including 446 who were newthat year. Many new courses have beenadded, and the faculty has been increasedto 74.Dr. Butler has had long experience ineducational and administrative work. He re­signed the presidency of Colby College in1901, to come to the University as Pro­fessor of Education and Director of thework with secondary schools in relationswith the University.Among the new courses scheduled for theAutumn Quarter in the University College,is one in General Agriculture to be given28 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEon Thursday evenings by four members ofthe faculty of the University of Illinois Col­lege of Agriculture, Professors Ebersol,Bauer, Hepburn and Colby. ' The lectureswill cover soils and soil treatment, farmcrops, gardening and dairying. It is thoughtthat the course will be of particular serv­ice to practical workers in farming, gar­dening and dairying and to those engagedin, clerical, commercial, professional, orteaching positions which are related insome way to agriculture and horticulture.Professor Ludwig Hektoen, Head of theDepartment of Pathology, received from theUniversity of Wisconsin in June the hon­orary degree of Doctor of Science.Professor Hektoen has been Director ofthe Memorial Institute for Infectious Dis­eases since 1902 and editor of the Journal ofInfectious Diseases since 1904. He was fortwelve years a member of the OccupationalDisease Commission of Illinois, has beenPresident of the Chicago PathologicalSociety, . and also President of the As­sociation of American Pathologists and Bac­teriologists.From Mr. Wilfrid M. de Voynich, of Lon­don, the University. will receive an annualcontribution for three years for the purposeof establishing a chair of Political andEconomic History of Poland. The donorof this fund in his communication to thetrustees writes: "My object in making thisoffer is the desire to increase the knowl­edge in the United States of the history ofPolish people, in order that, through a bet­ter knowledge of the history and develop­ment of Poland, there may be established abetter understanding between the severalmillions of Poles inhabiting the UnitedStates and Americans. Poland being tornby force between three inimical powers, itis essential that Polish history should betaught impartially from a Polish point ofview and not distorted to suit the politicalpurposes of any of these oppressingpowers."In 1904 Mr. Haiman Lowy establisheda scholarship in memory of his son WalterD. Lowy who died while a student at theUniversity. Following the recent death ofMr. Lowy it is announced that anotherscholarship to bear Mr. Ldwy's name isgiven to the University and is to be main­tained by the same endowment $3,000 .. Sofar as is known, this commemoration of afather and a son by scholarships is unique.Mr. Charles Burrall Pike of Chicago haspresented to the University for the LawSchool the collection of 250 engravings ofEnglish and American judges,' which, forseveral years, have hung in the, Law build­ing, as a loaned collection.A bronze bust of Professor ThomasChrowder Chamberlin will, by vote of theBoard of Trustees, be placed immediately in Rosenwald Hall, thus recognizing Pro­fessor Chamberlin's long service to the Uni­versity, in which he has been professorand head of the Department of Geologyever since he resigned the presidency of theU niver sity of Wisconsin in 1892.The Press has just issued an abridgementof the third edition of the Handbook of theLibraries of the University which is soonto be published in full. 'Announcement is made of the appoint­ment of Dr. J. Spencer Dickerson, for thelast three years secretary of the Board ofTrustees, to the headship of Hitchcock Hall.Dr. Dickerson is a trustee of the University,and was for thirty-eight years connectedwi-th The Standard, of Chicago nineteenyears as managing editor. His tw� sons andone of his daughters have been graduatedfrom the University.The trustees announce the appointment ofThomas George Allen, Ph.

" -One of the recipients of a Bachelor's de­gree at the Hundredth Convocation of theUniversity, Mr. Norman J. S. Croft, was. blind. Six other blind persons have grad­uated from the University, two with honors.The first blind student at the University wasFrank Prince B ixon, who received the de­gree of Bachelor of Theology in 1894; thesecond was John B. Curtis, who received hisBachelor's degree in 1895 and his Master'sdegree in 1896; and the third was GeorgeRex Clarke, A. B., 1907. In 1910 Miss Theo­dora Josephine Franksen, who was the firstblind woman to be graduated from the U ni­versity, was given the" Bachelor's degree,with departmental honors in Latin and Ger­man, a graduate scholarship in Latin, andelection to Phi Beta Kappa; and in 1911Miss Amanda Martha Manske, the onlyother blind woman to graduate, received thedegree of Bachelor of Philosophy, with hon­ors.

For this purpose an adver­tising committee was appointed under thechairmanship of Mr. G. R. Schaeffer. Asufficient amount of advertising was se­cured to give the editor, in part, the freedomthat he needed and to simplify the financial.Ioad. Many of the Alumni co-operatedwillingly and gave generously of their timein the various conferences had to discussthe problems connected with the publica­tions.The ramifications seemed to be consider­able and a number of suggestions weremade which promise, when worked out, tostrengthen the influence of the Alumni andto attract more and more of them to theUniversity activities. Statements of theactual accomplishments so far as they af­fected and were affected by the publicationsduring the past year are contained in thereports of the various 'chairmen and neednot be repeated here. It is well to report,however, the hearty co-operation given byall Alumni. called upon, irrespective of thelines of the particular committees withwhich the individuals were connected, andthe work done during the past year seemsto be reflected in the progress of Alumni,affairs.300Scott Brown, 1897, Chairman.Committee on Alumni Contributions.­The committee made a rather compre­hensive investigation of the subject ofAlumni contributions among all of thelarger institutions of the country. Thismaterial came in rather late in the spring,and' full consideration of it was impossible,owing to the rapid coming on of the re­union in June. This material has, there­fore, now been turned over to the secre­tary of the association.The committee, therefore, wishes to makeno recommendation at the present time asto just what, if anything, Chicago shoulddo in the way of starting an' active propa­ganda looking toward the securing of con­tributions from the Alumni. The informalopinion of the members of the committeeseemed to be that it is now time to beginsome work along this line. Just what formthese contributions might take or for whatends is a matter for further investigation30 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEthat should represent opinions from allquarters. It has been suggested, for ex­ample, that we might have a program look':ing to contributions for the following pur­poses:(1) Student loan fund.(2) Scholarship and research funds.(3) Buildings.As to the latter, it has been specificallysuggested that we might well attempt toerect a large but relatively inexpensivebuilding somewhat in· the nature of anarmory that would be .suitable for con­vocations, Alumni dinners and other bigevents of that character.Another specific suggestion made to thecommittee was from Mr. E. T. Gundloch,who offered to contribute $100 toward a$500 fund for a University of Chicago NewEngland Fellowship. The committee sawno way of taking up this excellent sugges­tion during the past year, but recommendsthat this' matter be given consideration bythe new committee during the coming year.Samuel MacClintock, 1896,Chairman.The Committee on Relations of Collegesto Alumni.- This committee in its' investi­gation studied conditions in Harvard, Yale,Princeton, Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, Wil­liams, 'Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Barn­ard, Bryn Mawr, Radcliffe, Smith, Vassarand Wellesley.According to the report, Cornell, Illinois'and Wisconsin have no Alumni representa­tion on the Board of Trustees. Harvard'sBoard are all Alumni. The rest vary inthe amount of Alumni representation fromone-eighth up.Paid Alumni secretaries all have exceptBrown, Barnard and Radcliffe. At Yaleand Williams the secretary is paid by thecollege; in all other cases by the Alumniassociation.Alumni magazines are published by allexcept Wellesley and Radcliffe, and Radcliffehas a share in the Harvard Graduates'Magazine. Except at Illinois, which, as aninstitution, gives $1,000 a year to its maga­zine. all these publications are wholly editedand financed by Alumni. In much the sameconnection, all promotion of Alumni Clubsthroug-hout the country, except in the casesof Wellesley and Vassar, is done by theAlumni association, though several col­leges pay the expenses of officials to talkto these clubs. On the other hand, allAlumni directories, except at Wellesley andSmith, are kept up by the colleges them­selves. The closest relationship between Col­lege and the Alumni body exists at Welles­ley. Here the Graduate Council, consisting ofnational .officers elected for two years andrepresentatives from all local clubs num­bering 25 or more, act as an advisory bodywith the" Trustees, three of whom areAlumnae. This Council meets twice a year at Wellesley,;enjoying the hospitality of theCollege, and considers many importantquestions referred to them by the Trustees.This position of power of the Alumnae isgreatly increased by the fact that the Presi­den t is an Alumna and also by their greatstrength shown at the time of the fire.All of their privileges have been extendedsince the fire.The conditions at Columbia more nearlyt esemble our own. Both are large institu­tions in large cities, and independent ofthe Alumni' for students, because of theirlocation and then a heavy endowment. AtColumbia we find no more encouragementoffered the graduate body than at Chicago.So the question from the point of view ofthe College seems to resolve itself into thequestion "How necessary is our Alumni As­sociation to us?" If the Alumni are foundto be necessary they are given power ac­cordingly.The report of which the foregoing is. anabstract is signed by Martha LandersThompson, 1903, as chairman. It adds fivesuggestions, viz:1. Is not strong class organization es­sential for a really strong Alumni Associa-tion? ,II. Should not an Undergraduate Coun­cil confer with the Alumni Council on ques­tions of College Welfare?III. Why not a Class Monitor from eachSenior Class, whose duty it is to. see thatevery member of the Graduating Class joinsthe Alumni Association and subscribes tothe magazine by June of his senior year?IV. Should we not have a GraduateCouncil which shall have representativesfrom every Chicago Club throughout thecountry, representation apportioned accord­ing to number in said club, and the officersof Alumni Association to be chosen fromall of the University of Chicago Clubs andnot entirely from the local club?V. What about Life memberships in theAlumni Clubs for $25?Committee on Athletics.-The only mat­ter handled last year by the Athletic Com­mittee was the vetoing of a suggestion fromPurdue's Graduate organization to requestall Conference Football Coaches to "secretpractice."If the Association sees fit I wish that itwould discuss, the advisability of choosingone of the home football games each yearas the particular contest to be attended byour Alumni-say t.he Minnesota game thisfall. Feature this fact in the Alumni Maga­zine and state definitely that such and sucha section or sections are open for Alumnireservations before the general sale' be­gins. In my iudgment this space shouldbe near the middle of the field and as closeto the Undergraduate Cheering Section aspossible.I understand that for many years past0, ,.--...;;.l.fI:-c:.'l.'-'r ..... ..E�--.:.. l;..i,:&;."" ...

The explanation lies in two things­a lack of fight and a lack of judgment.Chicago has this year more tall, heavymen for the line and more fast light backsthan in any single previous year. Evenwithout Brodie, who went to Yale for nodiscoverable reaso):l,' and Kimball, who wasforbidden to play' by his parents, the linematerial seemed excellent from tackle totackle. It included Captain Jackson (180)and Fisher (180), veterans of two seasons;MacPherson (190) and Fluegel (180), oldhands at football elsewhere; Bondzinski(200) and Donald Harper (175), substituteslast year, and Higgins (205), Parker (190),Gorgas (200), Gentles (175) and Smith(175), from the freshmen of last year­eleven good men for five positions, ofwhom four (Jackson, Fisher, MacPhersonand Higgins) seemed absolutely first-rate.For ends there were Brelos (155), Norgren(160), Sellers (165) and Hawk (165); noneremarkable. In the backfield were Pershing(160) and Graham (155) for quarter; Agar(160), Gordon (160), Setzer (160), Colm(135), O'Connor (170), Whyte (165), ashalfbacks, and Schafer (165), Hanisch- (170)and Marum (185), as fullbacks - elevenmen, of whom six were real veterans, allhad had experience, and at least half adozen were counted good enough to makeany team in the Conference. Just beforethe Carleton game Mr. Stagg said in amass meeting that his material was the"best in at least three years." Yet firstCarleton and then Northwestern not onlybeat them, but held them scoreless; and inNorthwestern's case outplayed them all theway against break after break of luck, and deserved to win by a bigger score than wasactually chalked up.Why has it happened so? In the firstplace, the team absolutely lacks a plungingback, with plays that will gain steadilythree or four yards. Mr. Stagg thought hehad solved the problem by shifting Parker,who had been playing guard, to end ondefense, and using him by virtue of a shiftplayas a plunger. But in the Northwesterngame Parker ran upright as a tree, and onceor twice nearly had his head twisted off inconsequence. As for Hanisch and Marumof both of whom much had been hoped,they have shown no signs of life at all whensent at the line.In the second place, the interference hasbeen half-hearted. The opposing ends andtackles, and particularly the secondary de­fense, have had no trouble evading theChicago interferers. In the Northwesterngame, on the second or third play, \>n anend run, Parker charged his man andknocked him ten feet. It was a beautifulsmash. Thereafter in five successive playsParker never once touched his man. Againand again the Northwestern players;· follow­ing around, got the Chicago runner while hewas dodging about trying to find an open­ing that had not been made for him. Alli­son, end of the Carleton tea&l, was onlyput out by the Chicago inter'!erence oncein the whole first half. Granted that Alli­son was a fine player, the percentage stillseems low.And in the third place, the lack of judg­ment in choosing plays has been astound­ing. Twice in the Carleton game, once inthe Indiana game and once in the North­western game Chicago had a first ·downwith the ball well inside the enemy's ten­yard line, but not once did Chicago get itover. The three touchdowns of the seasonso far, all against Indiana, were all the re­sults of either long forward passe'S or longruns. In every case these failures have beendue to obvious bad judgment in the choiceof plays. Once the right play was signaled,but Hanisch had a brainstorm and went his40 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEown way, losing five yards. The other threetimes the play called was ridiculous. Themost costly error was against N orthwest­ern. Captain Jackson caught a forwardpass on Northwestern's six-yard line. Agarmade two on a cut-in through right tackle,Parker two on a line plunge, and again two,putting the ball over the line; but the ref­eree thought not, and gave Chicago firstdown with a foot to go. Parker could nothave failed, Pershing himself through centercould not have failed, Agar cutting in couldhardly have failed, but Agar was sent onan end run, and the secondary defense atehim up with pleasure. After that Chicagonever had a chance.By the time this issue of the Magazine isout the Wisconsin game will be over. Ifthe team shakes down this week, Chicagowill win; if not, not. The material is thereif the men care to fight. Football is a hardgame, and no man is to be blamed for notcaring to indulge in it; but to play it half­heartedly seems a pathetic thing.
