Ata rneeting of the women ofthe Eastern Alumni Association in No­vember plans were undertaken to providea scholarship, and if possible mainte­nance, for a Mexican woman. The sec­retary of that meeting, Anne (FIoyd)Gilson, writes:"This seems to me to be a most signifi­cant thing to do. Not only would it be anevidence of our faith in our University(which is almost virtue enough for oneact) but it would also be an evidence offriendship and interest in our nearestneighbor on the south. It would be in line.with the sort of preparedness that weshould, as a people, have undertaken yearsago. It is especially significant. in beingfor a woman of Mexico. The upper classmen of Mexico enjoy every educational ad-o vantage of Europe and the United States,but the women almost never go beyond theconvent. Just think what even one lonewoman might do after' a course in theSchool of Education. Our chief expecta­tions of a practical nature, however, wouldoe that other university and college alumnimight follow this lead and thus aid thecause of popular education in our sister re­public.". She adds:"If the editor could urge those of theEastern Alumni Association who have notsent in their names to me to do so, withthe amount they. are willing to subscribe,it would be a help."The importance of this action 'by theEastern- Association is obvious. Thefoundation by different alumni centers oflocal scholarships is one of the best pos­sible - methods both of centering the in­terest of members and of broadening theinfluence of the University.

On re­ply, printed matter dealing with thatbranch of education, and a booklet de­scribing Chicago, and, in particular herathletic history, is sent. The almost un­equaled chances to earn one's way in partor altogether at Chicago .are outlined, andfurther correspondence is invited. Somefour hundred alumni have been asked orare being asked to' send in to the com­mittee the names of good men they mayknow of. By January the work will haveincluded various alumni clubs in differentsections,. the members of which will beasked to send in names, and to see themen whose names will be sent them.Alumni who are "on the road" as sales­men have also been asked to 'see menwho live in the towns. on their routes, andtalk Chicago. The editor has seen theletters and literature, and can testify thatthe necessity of scholarship, and the abso­lute lack of "soft" jobs is emphasized.No boy can get on at Chicago who doesnot know how to study, and no boy look­ing for an "athletic scholarship," or "gleeclub assistance," need apply. But so farthere has not been a single reply from a.preparatory student, athlete or not, whichhas hinted at such help. There are hun­dreds of fine young men, of all-roundability, who do not know where they wishto go to college, or even that college ispossible for them. If you know of anyyoung fellow you would like to. see atChicago, and you think he can stand tipunder pressure, send in his name.

Dr.Harperyearned to have near. him once 107more the comforting influence of a brassband. So he called in counsel his versa-,tile secretary, Dr. Francis W. Shepard­son, who in company. with a half dozenother men .had come to Chicago becausethey had known Dr. Harper at Denison."Shepardson," said he, "we must have aband.

Thispicture shows most of the faces o,f thefirst organization together with those of anumber of new members. In the frontrank may be seen 'President Harper withhis cornet. Leader Hobbs is also shown.In dose proximity to the bass drum onemay note the presence of Bobby Johnson,the then distinguished chief factotum ofRyerson Hall. Bobby was head toter ofbass drum, and always appeared in asolid maroon uniform of which he wasexceedingly proud. On the match, Bobbywas the most impressive figure in theband.The players came early, and took up theirpositions in the southwest corner of theroom, secreting their instruments behindchairs and under overcoats. The aud�­ence assembled and sat down, in front.Dr. Harper opened the meeting with afew remarks concerning modern oratory;and then, with a significant nod towardthe southwest, asked if we might nothave a little music. Then a crashing blastof trumpets introduced to an astonishedaudience the University of Chicago Mili­tary Band. There were only twenty ofthem, but to those seated down in frontthere was the sound of a band of a thou­sand men.The program of that first appearancewas made up of a little music and a greatdeal of oratory, as follows:March The BandOration, "Living Thoughts" .· Samuel Hope ThompsonOration, "American Statesmanship" .............

W. Blanchard, Leader,. 1903pleasure of managing the band. Thatarrangement has continued up to thepresent time. During the thirteen yearsof this experience the writer has beenresponsible for much music-good, bad,and indifferent; he has known intimatelymany fine young men whom he will cher­ish as. personal friends; and he does notnow recall a single unpleasant experiencein all thattime. The association has alsokept fresh in memory the days when thewriter himself, as a student, earned tui­tion, board, lodging and clothes by theuse of his cornet.The first band did service out of pureloyalty. They could afford to do .so; forthe members were mostly faculty or fel­lows in the University. As the percentageof student members increased, however, 109it was deemed wise to give some sort ofcompensation. Accordingly band schol­arships and tuition vouchers came intouse. This continued to be the order un­til the autumn of 1904, when the bandwent to a cash basis. From that date tothe present time each member has beenpaid some amount in cash, and has inturn paid his bills in cash. The firstmoney came from a small appropriationmade by the Board of Trustees. Thenfrom time to time generous sums wereadded from the Athletic fund, throughthe gracious favor of Mr. Stagg. Thus-the band increased year by year to amembership of thirty in 1905.It was President Harper's desire tohave a band of forty pieces; and even inthe days of his last illness he held thisdesire in mind. One pleasant day inNovember he asked that the band cometo his house and play for him. When theplaying had ceased he asked to see thedirector, and expressed his pleasure andgratitude. He then spoke of a mostearnest wish to have the band increasedto forty men, and suggested that thewriter draw up a plan for such a band.Before night of that day a plan was sub­mitted, and the following reply was re­ceived next morning:Chicago, Nov. 10, 1905.My Dear Mr. Blanchard:I am very much obliged to you for thefull statement you were good enough tomake concerning a band of forty. I shalltake up the study of the case with greatinterest, and I am particularly pleased thatyour interest in the band continues.Yours very truly,William R. Harper.Thus to the very end of his earthly lifePresident Harper's interest in the bandcontinued. Some will remember that athis most urgent request the band playedthe funeral marches at his obsequies, andfollowed his body to its final resting placea�kwood.\_ S�ce 1906, under the administrationof President Harry Pratt Judson, theband has continued to receive most cor­dial appreciation and encouragement.Each year a few additional players have110 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGQ MAGAZINEbeen put into the ranks. In 1914 a newdeparture was made in the form of asummer band of twenty-five men to giveconcerts in the open air. The movementmet with immediate -and continued suc­cess. It is doubtless true that the presi­dent has often felt at a loss to .knowwhere to turn for the extra money withwhich to finance this growing institution;but it is apparent that his personal fundhas never failed him as a last resort. Lit­tle by little the ranks of the band havebeen extended and the quality of its workimproved.On the occasion of the twenty-fifth .anniversary of the founding of the Uni­versity., President Judson made it possi­ble for us to have a permanent band ofat least forty men. So great was thesuccess of this venture, that in the au­tumn of the same year there were aboutseventy candidates for places in. the neworganization. After choosing not merelyforty, but fifty, who were to be regularmembers receiving compensation forservice, there were ten more who beggedto be allowed to play for pleasure and ex­perience. Thus it was demonstrated thata large band of good quality will neverlack recruits and honorary members toany desirable number.During, the autumn season justclosedthe band had a marching complement ofsixty men.

The band has thus"modestly played its part in the introduc­tion of ,the enlarged life of the secondquarter-century of .the. University.

Suffice it tosay that they are all good musicians andfi�e fellows. In general they are excel- ,lent students: some of them .exceptional.Perhaps it will not appear invidious tocomment on those playing solo parts:Maurice Rosenbarger, as 'leading cor­netist, has developed almost all of his re­markable ability since corning to. the Uni­versity of Chicago, His first year withus he played s610 alto; but during thefollowing summer vacation he settleddown to practice and study, and when hereturned had no difficulty in achieving asolo cornet po.sition.,· Another year ofwork puthim in the first chair, where he'now sits with little danger of being soondisplaced. If he had abundant time todevote -to his cornet he might easily be-·come an extraordinary artist.Then there is our solo trombonist,Harry M. Mcfronald, who has traveledseveral' seasons with prominent bands,among which may be, mentioned theScotch Kitties Band. Last season' heperformed on the Chautauqua circuit: 'He-is also' a singer of unusual ability.Next let us mention Erwin F. Ernst,a most musical young man, playing bari­tone. A few- years ago his right handwas accidentally cut off in a machine;yet he was: not deterred from followingmusic as a profession. With his left armand hand he holds and fingers his bari­tone with much dexterity; and, still moreremarkable, by means of a mechanicaldevice invented by his father, who is alsoa violinist, young Ernst attaches a: vio-THE MILITARY BAND OF THE UNIVERSITYlin bow to the stump of his injured armand plays so as to make one forget thegreat misfortune. He is now making as­tonishing progress in his studies with oneof the best teachers of violin in Chicago.No account of the band would be com­plete without mention of Ovid R. Sellers,known to a few choice spirits as "Cato."Sellers first appeared in a Chicago bandin 1903. Since that date he has at dif­ferent times honored nearly every instru­ment in the brass section, as from yearto vear he has returned for further study.At present he is playing the big bass inhis moments of relaxation; but all hisserious thoughts are bent on a doctoratein theology.The celebrated Gualano family-allmusicians, from father and mother to thebaby-contributes a son, Fortunato Fran­cisco Gualano-familiarly known as"Garibaldi," on account of his nationality,character and ability. Gualano playsharp, trombone or drums with equalvirtuosity.Last autumn there came to us the ris­ing Quivira Saxophone Quintette, fresh 111from a season on the Chautauqua circuit.These men, when added to our formerexcellent saxophonists, give us a comple­ment of ten saxophones, which rendersour center impregnable.J ules A vner hails from Boston andMontreal, in which cities he studied withsome of the best artists. He plays fluteor piccolo remarkably well.Jean R. Heatherington, solo clarinetist,is a grandson of Mr. Lyle Harper, whowas a cousin of President Harper, anda member of Dr. Harper's first band atNew Concord, Ohio. Young Heather­ington is one of the best clarinetists everat the University. He has had severalyears of professional experience. He ishere for a medical course.Last, but not least, comes our new oboeplayer, Stanley Lawton, the first realoboe player we have ever had. He entersthe University for a long course of col­lege and professional work. He has hadmuch experience in both band and or­chestra.At times there has been a little doubtas to the wisdom of spending so muchThe Band Leading the Alumni Procession at the Quarter-Centennial(A clear day! Note the dome of the Field Columbian Memorial Building, a mile east)112 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEmoney for band service; but the recordsshow that practically all of our best play­ers have been induced to come to us bythe prospect of help through the band.Inasmuch as the money that they receiveis immediately turned back into the cof­fers of the University in the payment oftuition, it is clear that the 'band is oflittle actual expense. After a young manspends years and much money in the mas­tery of a musical instrument, he intendsto make it help to support him in college.If the University did not give him thisopportunity he would go elsewhere. .Inthe opinion of the writer it is worth whileto bring to' the University' all of thesetalented young men we can get. Theynot only help to make up our band, butthey sing in our choirs, glee clubs andother organizations, and add much to the life of, the University. But best of all,they are almost always men of brains andcharacter; men who later achieve honor,for themselves and for the University.Standing on the threshold of our sec­ond quarter-century, the future looksbright for the University and for theband. Necessary money will not failnow. More and more brilliant playerswill come to us. .Graduates will keeptheir uniforms and instruments, alwaysready to return to us for great occasions ;and so we shall go on toward the betterand the best; until some day in the notdistant future a band of a hundred menwill sweep out upon the campus, and senda thrill through our scholastic marrowthat will bring us to our feet with "AGood Chicago for the Band."FREDRIC MASON BLANCHARD.Dr. Wells ObjectsIn the editorial columns of the Decem­ber number of THE UNIVERSITY OF CHI­CAGO MAGAZINE appears the followingstatement: "J ohns Hopkins and Harv-.ard are medical 'schools,' de facto prac­tical, giving regular courses in thera­peutic medicine, and, practically, littleelse. Investigation goes on constantly,but the training of students in investi­gation is slight. In the western schools,like Rush, such training is even slighter,indeed, almost non-existent. These'schools' exist for the worthy and ab­solutely essential end of turning outpractitioners. A man may, however,'and scores do, graduate fr01'TI. suChschools knowing little more about thefacts of such remarkable work in experi­mentation as has been going on in thelast fifteen years, than a olub womancould get in three weeks reading for a'paper.' He has learned something prac­tical about pathology, something practicalabout surgery, but 4e has laid no founda­tion for general scientific social service."Nothing could be farther from the truth. Starting in at the University ofChicago, as most of the Rush studentsdo, they find from the start the emphasisof all their instruction being laid on the'importance of investigative work Al­though largely undergraduates, the at­mosphere of their class work is muchmore nearly that of the graduate schoolthan 'of the colleges. Every instructorthey meet is most intensely interested andengaged in investigation, and much moreconcerned with transmitting his interestsand enthusiasm to his students than withroutine exposition of facts and theories.Hitherto we have always been criticizedfor trying to make our students into in­vestigators rather than physicians.' Acharge of the reverse description, suchas that in the. M agaeine, carries balm,for perhaps we are doing something tomake doctors after all.In any event, the result of the effortsof our faculty is seen by the fact thatmost of our best students do undertakeserious investigative work while under­graduate students. Aided by the quar-DR. WELLS OBJECTSterly system, some freedom of election,fellowships and scholarships, nearly allthe men who will ever be able to dO'research work start' at it during theirfirst two years. Many of them spendfrom one to three additional years in thelaboratories on their investigative workbefore even starting their clinical work.At present there are some twenty-five tothirty undergraduate medical studentsengaged in original work in the biologicalsciences in the first two years alone, andmany more in the last two, Over thirtymedical students have taken the Ph. D.degree. The stimulus obtained in thefirst two years is not lost when the menenter Rush, for we find them continuinginvestigative work during their clinicalyears. A large proportion of the physi­cians who give their time to the teach­ing of the clinical branches are them­selves carrying on investigative work,and every possible opportunity is givenfor such work by the students. To besure, the limited facilities available atpresent 'prevent this side of the work be­ing extended as much as the instructors.at Rush desire, but the spirit is there.and much is done. The Memorial In­stitute for Infectious Diseases and theLaboratory of Clinical Research ,of theSprague Memorial Institute also give op­portunity for several men to do seriousinvestigative work, while the Departmentof Pathology has always been a hot bed.for advanced study by the undergradu­ates. If you 'will look through the jour­rials that deal with scientific medicine inAmerica for any of the last fifteen years,you will find that scores of' articles byRush undergraduates have been acceptedand" printed by the' leading scientific pub­Iications. There is no other medicalschool in America, I am well assured,that has had so much investigative workpublished by its undergraduate students.Scarcely a number of the Transactionsof the Chicago Pathological Society butcontains contributions by' from one tothree undergraduate students; the Amer- 113ican Journal of P Ifysiology, the Journalof 'Infectious Diseases} the J ournal ofthe 4pierican Medical Association. have'published many articles fr�� "the samesource. Even our newest scientific or­gan, the Journal of Cancer Research, didnot get through its first year withoutpublishing an article by a Rush under­graduate.Whatever the shortcomings of Rushare, they most distinctly are not on theside of investigation. That is our strong­est and most creditable feature. Ade­quate control of clinical material for theproper training of practicing physicianshas been the side most open to criticism,and, beirig helpless in that respect, wehave made up for it by developing- theresearch spirit in every possible respect,and with .noteworthy success. Withinthe year I have received a 'long letterfrom a member of the faculty of one ofthe largest and richest eastern' schoolsasking for an explanation of our successin inducing our-undergraduates to under­take research and in continuing our grad­uates at it. The facts were wanted forthe consideration of the faculty of thiseastern school, A few years ago 'a re­search student at the University of Penn­sylvania also made and published aninvestigation' of the opportunities for.undergraduate research in the medicalschools of the country which showed theenviable position of Rush students inthis respect, 'INo, Mr. 'Editor, there is no "club­woman" stuff about the work of theRush students. On the contrary, thefuture developments of medicine at theUniversity, from which we all ariticipateso much, are fortunate in- starting witha spirit of investigation and independent,work already firmly established andtraditional. No time will have to be 10s1in awakening this spirit. It is here.vigorous and enthusiastic, awaiting onlybetter opportunities to expand and de­velop its full possibilities.H. GIDEON WELLS,114 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEProfessor Hoxie and the Community[A meeting in memory of Professor R. F.Hoxie, who died in June, was held in Mandelon December 11. Speeches were given byAssociate Professor Field on Professor Hoxieas an economist, by Associate Professor Linnon Professor Hoxie as a teacher, and by Pro­fessor Mead. That of Professor Mead is re­printed here.-Ed.]The student of Profesor Hoxie'stwenty-two year adventure in economicdoctrine maps out a course beginningwith classical theory, passing throughmany phases, many winds of doctrine, to'his final study of Trades Unionism andScientific Management. There was oneconstant characteristic of all his changesof theory and shifts of standpoint. Theywere always moving away from what heconsidered irrelevant theory and de­scription toward the living economic ex­periences which became the goal of hisinterest. Perhaps his earliest test of thegenuineness of his economic doctrine wasfound in teaching. It was the pedagogictouch-stone. He was one of the pioneersin finding the materials of instruction indirect economic experiences, in attempt­ing to make the economic problem a fleshand blood reality within the horizon ofthe student's own living. What heearlier undertook to accomplish for thestudent, with laborious effort he finallysucceeded in doing for his own doctrine.To the student he said "The real problemmethod is in taking some one vital thingand working it out as a problem, draw­ing into it, and giving substance and ap­plication to all your body of knowledge."For the application of his own think­ing he found in the labor problem thesupreme question whose successful state­ment was to be its ultimate test, "the'storm center of the most universal andvital controversy in existence-the strug­gle for a living." And this relation oftheory to problem was one of method­ology as well. The great undertakingof his social science was to state this living problem as it is, as the result of"the totality of impinging environmentalconditions." The purpose of the sciencewas to enable him to analyze the situa­tion into its facts. He recognized thatthis was the most difficult 0 f undertak­ings, to realize them not as the illustra­tions of an economic theory, but as acomplex of all the elements of custom,prejudice, unthinking interpretation, selfand class assertion and struggle and pur­pose. It. was to state this problem inelements that could be verified and mustbe accepted that economic science cameto exist for him. Its function, for hisenterprise, was to state the problemrather than to solve it, in the sense of anintellectual explanation. He did not dealwith his problems in the historical man­ner. The solution of the questions withwhich he was dealing, if they were tobe solved, was to be found in the actionof the community when the communitycould comprehend and scientifically ap­praise the facts and their values.. Ofthis' solution he did not at bottom despair,but he felt, with a vividness that carnefrom his own struggle to comprehend,how enormous was the undertaking, thatof bringing our society to face and con­sider impartially, in a genuine scientificspirit, the data of the labor problem.His own attitude is revealed in a pass­age of a letter written last year about hisown effort. "I began working in thislabor field more than ten years ago;and even before then, when I was work­ing the field of theory, I could find littlethat had been done in a way that seemedto me scientific in the modern sense ofsocial science, or to be very much worthwhile practically. I felt that there wasneed for a new set of ideals, a new ap­proach, a new method of research, anda new method of teaching, and I set my­self to try to work this new thingPROFESSOR HOXIE AND THE COMMUNITYout, in connection with my 'Universitycourses. It was a long, hard task. Therewas nothing particular to go upon, Whathad been written did not fit in, and wasof little account. Every course 'had tobe really a piece of research. There wasa great deal of discouragement conncetedwith it all. Yet I am sure thisnew method is bound to prevail, and tohave tremendously beneficial influenceon all our academic and practical socialwork." His conception of the functionof his science appears in the followingquotation from one. of his lectures at apoint where he had been dealing 'withstrikes."It is evident that we are to. an extentstill not advanced beyond a period offeudalism. We allow, private warfare tothe detriment of society. ' I want todefine my position to you very brieflyonce more. I do believe that the publicshould take a hand in such matters;that this is an absolute necessity if weare ever to have these contests settled inthe interest of social welfare, for fifteenyears of first hand study have convincedme that mere fighting between employersand workers will never attain this end.I believe, however, if the publics to have.any valid influence it must act not afterthe struggle is on, but before, not pas­sionately as partisans of one side or theother, but calmly with constructive fore­sight. Otherwise it renders the contestmore bitter and gets no tangible result.I believe that to act wisely, it must havestandards of judgment, rules of the game,constructive machinery, to apply to thesecontests, 'which can only be secured bya clear understanding of the social factsand forces, and the closest study of thegroups concerned' and the facts of theirconditions and relations. I believe thatthis understanding and know ledge can besecured only by ,the closest first handstudy in '"'1the field. I have conse­quently for fifteen years, devoted mymain attention to this first-hand study inthe field and I have made this .field-work 115a special-point for the labor classes. Butexperience has shown that a certainamount of preliminary orientation isnecessary for an intelligent field study,otherwise students get into the same hel­ter-skelter passionate attitude of somereformers. After this preliminary -ori­entation, I believe that a main part of'the work in labor classes should be first­hand study of the groups and facts, theactual contact with men and things. Itis all a matter of doing our work in acalm, orderly, large-minded, farsighted,constructive and scientific manner."All who have been at all familiar withMr. Hoxie know how determinedly' hegave himself this instruction, which heattempted to give to his classes andthrough them and his writings and in­vestigations to the public.. He was' inimmediate personal relations with theleaders of all the labor .movements andparties, and with many of the rank and:file. He attended their conventions. Hetalked with them in patient questioning,and he listened as patiently. He cameto know their attitudes and presupposi­tions as well as' their pronouncements.He heard them at their gatherings andsaw and questioned them in their strikesand party-warfare. He came nearerknowing and being able to respond tothe minds of the class conscious and self­conscious labor groups. than perhaps anyman in the country, at least of those whohave approached th�ir problems with ascientific intent. And here again I maybe permitted to repeat, that for Mr.Hoxie science was a method of under­standing all the 'pertinent facts of aproblematic situation and- .formulatingthat problem. He was trying to un­derstand and he was determined to omitnothing that would help him understand.He knew there was no. fact that was anabstract economic fact, that all the in­definite. number of conscious and sub­conscious and unconscious human influ­ences that appear inhuman conduct mustbe comprehended if the economic prob-116 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINElem was to be so realized that we canintelligently advance to its solution.Professor Hamilton in the current num­ber of the J ournal of P oliiical E conomy,has stated that Mr. Hoxie was not areformer. In the common acceptation ofthat word this is true. In a more pro­found sense it does not seem to me tobe true. He came indeed with no recipefor the healing of social ills. He wasin no sense a partisan in social struggles.He met and comprehended men on bothsides as he could not if he had comewith' a parti prise But his passionatedetermination to understand was born ofno intellectual curiosity or academic .am­bition. It sprang from the profound be­lief that scientific comprehension is theindispensable precondition of intelligentsolution of the' problems of the socialas well as of the physical sciences, andhis passion was for their solution, notmerely for their understanding. Mr.Frey, editor of the International M auld­ers' J ournal, in the same number of theJ ournal of Political Economy says thatMr. Hoxie had a marvellous psycholog­ical insight which enabled him to catchand understand the underlying motivesof men, which escaped others. Such apower was .due, in Mr. Hoxie as it is inothers, to a sympathetic response to thosewhom hoe understood. It was because hefelt the forces, the impulses, and thesubconscious valuations that lay backof the outer conduct and speech of thosein the struggle, that he 'could compre­hend them. He had an emotiorial real­ization of the issues that were at stake.And as long as these are essential ele­ments in the social problem, no man, forwhom these elements do not exist canscientifically state the problem" and theycannot exist for the man who does notfeel them. That is, the man who does .not bring an equipment of emotional re­sponse to the study of a social problemcannot get all that goes to make lip thatproblem. Mr. Hoxie had that rare com­bination of intellectual acumen, scien- tific' conscience, and emotional responsewhich made him able to make his own,the problem of labor, that central prob­lem of our industrial age. For compan­ion figures we must turn to Sidney andBeatrice Webb in England. And per­haps he brought a more simple, directand profound response to the humansituation involved in our labor strugglethan they have brought to the strugglein England. It may be due to this thathe did not attain the facility and easeof expression that is theirs. He wascontinually going deeper to get the realfacts. He was never satisfied with theformulations. He was almost over­whelmed with the infinite detail of innerand outer factors that go. to make 'upthe questions to be stated and answered.It is not a facile nor a happy endowmentwhich attunes a man to such struggles.They do not take a profound hold ofmost of us. We are in them, but theyare not our problems. It is an endow­ment that wears a man out arid rendershim a prey to nervous collapse. If Mr.Hoxie had been born with the equipmentof the artist instead of that of the sci­entist, I think he would have presented, this problem of our society as a poet, in­stead of as an economist. Beyond doubthe had the feeling for it which makesthe stuff for great poetic production.Those of us who have known his stu­dents know how great was the educativepower which he exercised, One of themsaid_ that "Graduate students and Soph­mores, the brilliant and the stupid, sooneror later felt the shock of his influenceand were never quite the same as theyhad been before. It was the nearest toa real conversion that I have everseen." To none who have been in hislabor classes will the industrial problembe a mere partisan contest, instead of thevast effort of struggling human spirits,nor will - economics be a dismal sciencethat abstractly depicts what- we dare notfeel. We have lost from the Universityone of' its great instructors who gave ofPROFESSOR HOXIE AND THE COMMUNITYhimself freely to his students, and whohad much to give. And these are carry­ing to the world �n i�sight and a com­prehension of which It h.as great need.It is impossible to appraIse the loss tothe community of a man who had thegift of such tireless willingness to under­stand. He provided a medium in whichcould appear values that are apt to besuppressed or distorted by the complexesof our social consciousness. His emo­tional endowment under the control ofhis scientific conscience was a community 117asset. There were being wrought out inhis uneasy and always dissatisfied spirit,the ideas and the symbols in which toexpress one group of the community toanother where there have been and areonly the no-thorough-fares of class con­cepts, and deep and often unrecognizedgroup-hostilities. And the loss of thecommunity is the greater, because it hasas yet so imperfectly realized Hoxie'svalue.GEORGE H. MEAD.This dark spirit is Roy Dee Keehn, whomwe shall mention with respect for two rea­sons: first, he used to play football, and,second, he is now preparing a little trea­tise, "A Handbook on the Law of Libel forEditors," and we don't propose even to goclose to the edge of that law until we haveassimilated Roy's book. Brother Keehn,as they call him in Phi Kappa Psi, pre­pared for college at De Pauw, and enteredIndiana in 1895. There he was on the foot­ball and debating teams and was editor ofthe college paper. After dropping out toteach mathematics for a year or so, heentered the University of Chicago, tookthe Ph. B. in 1902 and the LL. D. in 1904-the first law class to do all its work at theUniversity of Chicago, and R. D. K. waspresident of it. He found time also to besecretary of the Reynolds Club, editor ofthe University of Chicago' Monthly Mag­azine, and a correspondent for the down- town papers. Soon after he began prac­ticirig law, he became attornev for theChicago Examiner. He was Assistant Corpo­ration Counsel when Edward F. Dunne wasMayor. He. later became general counseland attorney for all of William RandolphHearst's interests in the central west, in­cluding the Chicago Examiner and Chi­cago American, and for the past two yearshas been consulting director in these com­panies and personal attorney for Mr.Hearst. He has recently accepted the gen­eral management pf Mr. Hearst's interestsin the central west, and remains generalcounsel and attorney. This position giveshim direction of the political, editorial andnews policies of the Chicago Examiner andChicago Amercan, as well as the generalmanagement of the business policies. Hewill remain in the general practice of law,however.118 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINESome Holders of ScholarshipsThe following is a list of the presentundergraduate holders of the two ·prin­cipal types of "honor" scholarships atthe University-i. e.) scholarships con­ferred, after entrance, for distinguishedwork either in all branches in the fresh­man year, or in some particular depart­ment later.

Dr. Neff, who had charge ofthem, had become tired of his workand the opportunity came my way to go.Needless to say, I could not resist thetemptation. I had no other credentialsthan my American passports and thecablegrams that had passed between Chi­cago and the British War Office, but onsuch small grounds I started out.I went on a neutral boat and landed atFalmouth.I went up to London and reported thenext morning at the British War Office.'At the War Office I was very cordiallyreceived. My credentials proved amplysufficient. They were expecting me andset me to work immediately to get my. outfit. I may say that the Unit was inthe regular British service and we hadto go into the territory as British officers.It is impossible for civilians to get to thefront. On the streets of London therewere a great number of soldiers, men ofall classes, the most picturesque being theScottish soldiers in their regalia, beauti­ful plaid stockings with daggers stuckdown in one leg, and all the dash theyare inclined to have. There were also agreat number.of civilians. It was as­tonishing to � when I knew how verybadly England needed soldiers that therewere so many civilians running aroundall over the city. Many of these menwere engaged in munition work, but thegeneral impression made on a foreigneris that there are hundreds and thousandsof men in London who would make goodsoldiers who are not in the army. The theaters were open, twenty orthirty of them. The houses consistedlargely of men in uniform; there werefew civilians. Gasoline, while I was 'inLondon, was sixty-eight cents a gallon,but that did not interfere with the usualnumber of taxicabs and motor buses.The taxicab companies and others arelicensed for the amount of gasoline theyuse and receive only two-thirds of anormal supply. Motors cannot be oper­ated in England for pleasure or purelypersonal use. It is all under governmentsupervision and one can get a taxicabanywhere at pretty near the old rates.The cost of living in London has not beenraised. When I returned to London onmy way home I found they had reducedthe cost of tea at the Cecil to one shillingand sixpence, a reduction of one shilling.I was told by the War Office to getan officer's outfit for a lieutenant.colonel's rank when I was ready to�eave to report for duty. To a stranger111 London, securing an outfit is rather adifficult job and it took me about twodays to get measured and have theclothes started. As I said, it was im­possible to get across the Channel to thefront, where I was going, unless I wasproperly dressed. Clothes in Londoncome very high. An officer's outfit withonly absolutely necessary clothing for afew months cost me about one hundredand fi fty dollars. Shoes are as high asclothes.When I was ready to report, after ninedays, I appeared at the War Office, fromwhich I was to get my credentials, andwas ordered to leave London the nextmorning and proceed to my destination.I was given the proper information andorders such as all officers are given whenthey leave London. We left CharingCross and proceeded to Folkestone. Tbeboat was crowded with officers. Incrossing the Channel we were protectedJ20 THE UNIVERSITY 'OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEby two torpedo boat destroyers, one oneither beam of the transport. Arrivingin Boulogne I reported at the hospitallate that night and met some of my goodfriends. I saw that the officers' messW9-S a comfortable place to lounge. Thenext morning I had my first .look around.The hospital was situated on ratherrising ground, The soil was sandy anddrained beautifully, so that after theheavy rains, which were frequent" in tenor fifteen minutes there would be nowater on the ground. This site is one ofconsiderable historical interest, becauseNapoleon had his camp here at one timeand there still remains back of the hos­pital, the 23rd General, an old rampartbuilt by Caesar years ago at the time heintended to invade Britain. The hospitalis composed of buildings originally in­tended for barracks. There are a seriesof 36 of these buildings, which wouldhold thirty to forty men each. There arefour buildings used for serious cases,connected by a covered way with a suiteof operating rooms and x-ray rooms.The operating rooms were most com­plete, with all the necessary things thaty-ou would find in any hospital in Chi­cago. We had a complete x-ray outfitand all other things for hospital work.Our hospital orderly. force consisted oftwo hundred men. They were to' helpin the wards and perform other dutiesI shall presently mention. The officers'mess contained a piano, a victrola and allthe periodicals and daily papers fromLondon and Paris and everything thatone would expect in a modern clubroomalmost. The officers' individual quarterswere canvas tents on wooden frames,which were occupied by men singly, con­taining a' bed and other paraphernalia.The food, that we had, was very good.The supply of meat was more thansuffi­cient. We did not get as good food asthe soldiers who had been wounded.Their food was very much better thanone gets here in our charity hospitals.They had ample supplies of ale and stout and for the serious cases we had cham­pagne.The hospital of 'which I had chargehad been originally intended for 1,050beds. We had thirty-six wards or thirty­six huts with a capacity of thirty to fortymen each. During the stress of a heavybattle these wards could be increased insize about forty per cent by putting bedson 'the floors 'and other spots that wereordinarily occupied for other purposes.In addition to that we' had seventeentents which would hold fifty men each,so the 'total capacity was somewherearound 1,450. ", We lived in the heart of a large rein­forcement camp for the English army,We were within the zone of the armies,ab.out thirty-five or eight miles from theclose-fighting zones. We had in additionto that a camp in which there were fromone hundred to two hundred', thousandfighting men constantly passing fromEngland to the front. These men weretrained in nearby camps and their fight­ing, which was' done in mock trenches,was extremely annoying at first, but onefinally got used to it and paid no atten­tion to it.The convoys arrived in amb�lancetrains, which are the' acme of medicalprovision. , England has at this time .inFrance one hundred and sixty ambulancetrains with from eight, to twelve carsapiece. They are beautifully equipped,electric lighted, with operating rooms andwith every comfort for the wounded.These trains' were constantly passingfrom the front to the bases to Boulogneand other seaports for embarkation ofwounded and then back again to thefront. The number of men employed in,that branch of the service is very great.The convoys arrived in these ambulancetrains. There were also a number oftrains passing to the northwestern' partof France and it is no exaggeration tosay that trains of this character passed atthe rate of one in three minutes all thetime, night and day. It was a wonder" A DOCTOR ON WAR SERVICEthat the \right-o£-way stood upunder theenormous strain that was put. upon it.From the liospital trains men were takenoff in stretchers and put in ambulances.We got two types of cases-ambulatoryand stretcher cases. The ambulancecases were put four in each ambulanceand carried to the hospital, where theywere distributed in the wards. We hadin our camp about one, hundred and fortyof these ambulances. We had not onlyto carry men from the train to the hos­pital, but from the hospital to the train­those who were, going to England. Themen in charge of these ambulances reallydid very hard soldier's duty. They werevery well paid, drawing officer's pay' allthe time.,I arrived the' first day of June in thecamp and had a moderate amount ofwork in June and ·so got an opportunityto get thoroughly into the work before11)05t of our men left. About the twelfthor fourteenth of June most of the Amer­icans left. I had remaining six, one ortwo of whom I knew and 'in whom I hada great deal of confidence. The surgicalservice had primarily been divided intothree groups. Before I arrived it hadbeen divided into two groups. When Dr.Davis left I took' over the whole surgicalservice, consisting of six hundred totwelve hundred men all the time. Mostof the surgical work I did myself. Thefirst four days of July we received 1,542men. That was at the time of the Sommeadvance and· the fighting was verysevere, That experience that began latein June kept up nearly all through Julyand we received over five thousand menduring that month. .We had a numberof Australian, English and Scotch offi­cers who were 'detailed to us, but whoonly' stayed three b,r four days at a time, .nearly all of them being pushed up to thefront to fill the vacancies caused by thefighting. It was my duty as chief med­'ical officer to' receive every convoy,When the cases came. in it was my dutyto assign, them to a ward, after name, 121residence and other 'data were put on thecards by the clerks. This was 'hardenough work of itself. If you receivethree to six hundred cases a day, assign­ing them is a pretty hard job. Therewas kept a record of every case in thehospital, for instance, the number of menin the hospital, the number of men goingto England. By phone or telegraph weknew how many convoys we were toreceive sometimes three or four hours inadvance. During the" rush in July themen came in in such numbers that it wasa task to take care of receiving the men,to say nothing of looking after thewounded and doing the operative work,so I had to give up receiving the cases,turning them over to some of the othermen, so' that I could take care of theoperating. W e were frequently gettingthree hundred men at a time and wewould hardly finish one batch before thenext ones arrived, so that the nurses anddoctors would become very tired. Atone period early in July during the tushI operated consecutively for thirty-threehours. I would stop only for meals andto smoke a cigarette, perhaps. We didin one ordinary day, not during the rushperiod, as high as thirty-five differentoperations involving skull wounds andcases of that kind. One man of the serv­ice was always detailed as orderly officerand it was his place to be on call nightand day for twenty-four hours. He hadto sleep in a special room in the hospitaland answer any call for emergencies,hemorrhages, etc. For twenty-four hoursafter that he was practically out 'of CQfi1-mission, because, he did not get muchsleep. That took one of our six or eightmen away all the timer W ehad, in addi­tion, consulting men, well-known sur­geons in England, who would come alongat different intervals and look over� thecases, would advise or get statistics forthe general betterment of the whole serv­'ice. Our consulting surgeon was SirGeorge Mackin.The nurses 'work day 'and night. - The122 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEdaynurses are waked up at night to bathemen brought in in the convoys. Thenight nurses are not expected to do that.The ambulatory cases go to the centralbaths. I cannot say enough for the workthat the Chicago nurses do in France.As far as supplies go, we had every­thing one could wish for, all sorts ofgauze, dressings, etc. We were knownaround the region as the hospital thathad the greatest splint supply. One nighta man came in to have a mastoid opera­tion. One of the men was sent to thesupply room for a Stacke's guide. Theman in charge asked him how many hewanted. He said he did not know. Sothe man suggested that he take two orthree, to be sure he would have enough.He said they were pretty small and hehad better take an extra one or two. Theresult was that he came ,ba·ck with threedozen Stacke guides to one mastoid oper­ation. Supplies were abundant in everyway. We had rubber gloves withoutnumber and they cost about $1.75 perpair, but the government was very lib­eral. We had all sorts of solutions. Wehada very complete drug room under thecare of a pharmacist who knew his busi­ness. It did not make any differencewhat you asked him for, he got it.The wounded soldiers were veryhappy. I believe we had only one manwho had any complaints to make. Hewas a young boy who had both legsshot off and suffered a good deal of pain.He got cross and cranky and used toscold the nurses. Otherwise, the menwere perfectly contented and happy andnever uttered any complaints. I neversaw such a contented spirit. If we hadsuch gratitude for our treatment of. sur­gical cases in Chicago, I <l:m sure wewould all be going around on air all thetime. From our hospital the men whowere convalescent or otherwise fitted towork were sent to different points. Thelight cases were sent to the base detailto be sent to the front again. Those werethe minor injuries. The next class where the injuries were more severe were sentto the convalescent camp, where they hadgood surgical attention. The rest of .themen were sent to England, carried overin the hospital ship across the channel.We had a special mode of distribution ofthe different types of cases sent to thedifferent hospitals. These were allmarked and tagged before they ever left.We received not only surgical casesbut also medical cases, the medical casesbeing of all sorts of varieties. Eight ornine per cent of the cases were medical,involving nephritis, bad hearts, sciaticaand other things that any general hos­pital gets. Every man who was woundedreceived an injection of ante-tetanicserum at the front. It did not matterhow severely he was injured. He wasmarked with an indelible pencil right inthe forehead to show that he had re­ceived the injection. It was not uncom­mon to find men with a large "T" in theforehead.The treatment by the British of theirprisoners _ was very good. During Au­gust while the Sornme advance was in'progress we got a great many prison­ers.· Naturally they did not care to putGermans into our hospital-they weresent to our next-door neighbor-but mytent was', perhaps, not thirty feet fromthe side track and very frequently I wentdown and talked to the German prison­ers. I found they were always pleasedto see some one who could talk German.Most of them were rather happy to. beout of the immediate fighting. On sev­eral occasions I questioned them aboutthe progress of the war. Without excep­tion they were all undesirous of finishingthe war unless they were victorious. Iremember one morning . the surgeon incharge of. the ambulance train went intoa car in which there were German pris­'oners and said to me afterT communi-cated with some of the prisoners, "I hope.the Germans will treat the English pris­oners as well as we treat them."KELLOGG SPEED.ON THE QUADRANGLES 123On the Quadrangles. The last month saw the campus in thethroes of charity. The student body'sexchequer, sadly emaciated by paymentsand subscriptions at the outset of theyear, was scarcely permitted to recuper­ate before the Settlement dance, Prison­er's Relief and Thanksgiving donationslaunched a relentless attack on under­graduate generosity. The campaign formoney to. be used in behalf of captives inforeign prison camps was brought to asuccessful climax when a collection atthe Chicago Minnesota football ga!lle in­creased the total fund' to $3,000.The settlement dance, led by JohnSlifer, '17, and Barbara. Sells, '17, washeld on December 8 in Bartlett; the pro­ceeds, which were devoted to the Uni­versity settlement, amourited to $1,180,the largest sum ever raised on this occa­sion. Members of energetic ticket-sellingteams were rewarded. by an invitation to"Rigoletto" by the Chicago Opera Com­pany; players in the dance orchestrawere appeased by tickets to the Palacetheater.The Y. W. C. L. was engrossed in thesupervision of a Christmas fete in IdaNoyes during the week of December 4.Tea sets, embroidered kimonos, purses,vases, perfumes' and powder were offeredfor sale and netted over $1 SO. VanitasVanitatum! Thanksgiving boxes of'candy and cookies were packed byLeague women, under the direction ofJulia Stebbins, and presented to resi­dents of the Horne for Incurables. Com­ment is superfluous.On December 7 members of the twelvewomen's captain ball teams held a ban­quet in Ida Noyes hall, at which Mr. LaVerne Noyes was the guest of honor ..During the dinner a continuous "cabaret"performance was billed, including a nov­elty dance by Bernice Hogue and Eliza­beth MacClintock, a monologue by Stell anWindrow, . and solos by Garrett Larkinand J ulian Worthington. Miss GertrudeDudley presented emblems to the women, team members. The W. A. A. formu­lated plans for its annual production, theCampus Follies," to be staged March 22in Mandel. Among those who will havecharge are Margaret Monroe, generalchairman; Ruth Sheehy, publicity man­ager; Dorothy Mullen, property andstage director, and Lucy W ells, prog�amchairman.Turkey and its inevitable concomitantswas served to 250 women at the Thanks­. giving Spread, given on November 29 bythe Neighborhood clubs. The feature. of the afternoon was a short play, "The. Trouble at Saterlee's," which wascoached by Miss Hertha Baumgartner.Elsa Lunde,. '15; Laura Walter, '15; ElsaJones, '15; Eva Richolson, Miriam Wen­ner and Florence Kilvary comprised thereception committee. Some guests wereclad in frigid ballet costumes, others -inmartial Rooky uniforms.Early in December a bulletin in Ellishall stated that Dr. D. H. Gress, repre­senting the Anti-Cigaret league, wouldlecture on the cigaret peril. Immediatelybeneath this poster was the announce­ment of the approaching Reynolds clubsmoker. Over 400 attended the club'sstudent-faculty smoker on December 6.The program of the evening was a med­ley of melodious tintinnabulations, in­cluding the Hungarian Rhapsody andBallin' the Jack. The first slice of theN ash library 'melon was invested by theclub in the purchase of eighty-three yol-. umes=-fifty-two are poetry and dra�a,sixteen deal with the European war,.seven are fiction and the remainingbooks are concerned with preparedness,biographies, politics and philosophy. TheUniversity's literati are represented byRobert Herrick and Katherine Keith.. The organization of an undergradu­ate poetry club stands 'out as the mostnoteworthy event in campus literary cir­cles. The seed of this group was plantedat a recent dinner at the home of Pro­fessor Robert Morss Lovett, and the124 .. THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEgrowth promises to be permanent. Thenew club will hold semi-monthly meet­ings, the first for the reading and criti­cism' of original work by the members,the 'second for the interpretation of themuse of distinguished modem poets.The charter members are Harold VanKirk, John Grimes, Robert Redfield, Jr.,Arthur Baer and Walter Snyder.Eleven reporters received appoint­ments to the staff of The Daily Maroonat the close of the Autumn quarter.They are: Leona Bachrach, GeorgeBarclay, Lewis Fisher, Albert Gavrt,Ruth Ge.nzberger, Roland Holloway,John Joseph, Royal Montgomery, Wil­liam Morgenstern, Helen Ravitch andHarold Stansbury. On December 16The ,Maroon published its Christmasissue, containing a twelve-page retrospec­tion of the quarter's happenings. TheDecember Literary M aqaeine, offeringstudent fiction, ,drama, essay and verse ofsubstantial quality and quantity, appearedduring the week of examinations. TheLit. has announced the election of threeadditional associate editors: Harold VanKirk, Arthur Baer and Robert Redfield,Jr. The second and third issues of TheGreen Cap were strewn about the campuson November 29 and December 15. Thecontents were cartoons, photographs, per­sonals and miscellaneous freshman classnews items.Physical examinations of men in theclass of '20 showed that there are thirty­eight freshmen with defective teeth,eighty-five 'with optics that need atten­tion and' six with. impeded hearing ..According to The Maroon) .Dr. Reed ex­pressed his gratification at this splendidrecord. IPhi Beta Kappa elected one senior andthree juniors to member-ship at its quar­terly meeting on December 15; they areStanley Udy, '17; Leslie Hellerman, '18;Harry 'Weinberg, '18; and Lucy Wil­liams, '18. The Order of the Iron Mask,Junior class : society, augmented its mem­bership by-initiating sixmen, JoJm Ban­nister, I William Boal, · Coleman Clark, Donald Harper, John N uveen and Stan­ley Roth. The three freshman clubs,Blue Bottle, Yellow Jacket and BlackBonnet, chose 395 women from the classof 1920. \The creative bodies of the campus, theDramatic club and Blackfriars, arose andmade their bow this month, the one pre­senting its fall bill of one-act plays, theother announcing the winner of the an­nual play contest. The three plays pre­sented were "Back of the Yards," byGoodman; "The Man in the Stalls," bySutro, and "Indian Summer," by Meilhacand Halevy. The club chose Mandel hallas the scene of its activities and wasrewarded with a larger, more apprecia­tive and less noisy audience than it hashitherto enjoyed on like occasions. Ofthe plays themselves, there was, as usual,much diversity of opirnon. FrankO'Hara, who, reviewed them in, TheDaily Maroon, was kind and indulgent.The Maroon, in an editorial, was, severe,and intolerant, while a Maroon corre­spondent, who described himself as arecent acquisition to the campus, was ingeneral incoherent. ,The concensus ofopinion seemed to, indicate that BartlettCormack is a valuable new member, thatLeon Gendron, the president, has an ex­cellent voice and a very easy stage pres­ence, that Charles Breasted can act whenhe doesn't try too hard and that ArthurBaer was more kissed against than kiss-ing. 'The Blackfriars announce "A Mythin Mandel," by Richard Atwater, as thewinning play in this year's contest. Likehis .two predecessors, the author is analumnus, having been graduated withthe class of 1911, and is at present aninstructor in Greek at the University.In structure the play is somewhat simi­lar to "A Night of Knights," the 1915production, and is, according to AbbotDunlap Clark, "decidedly of the localcolor type, full of academic humor thatcannot fail to appeal to a University audi- .ence." . , .'Of the other student activities thatON THE QUADRANGLESdeserve mention this month, the most im­portant is the election of officers of theInterfraternity council for the Winterquarter : John Slifer, president; HarrySwanson, vice-president; William Boal,treasurer; Arthur Hanisch, recordingsecretary, and Albert Pick, correspond­ing secretary. The Honor commission,in its report, cites .five cases of under­graduate dishonesty; two received penal­ties of expulsion;' two, loss of credit andsuspension, and the fifth was left unde­cided. The University Rifle club, a neworganization with William Templeton aspresident, has been dignified with a statecharter and honored with medals for 125marksmanship. The Forum, an under­graduate political body, re-elected ArchieSchimberg president. On December 6it heard the Rev. Mr. Myron Adams talkon "What Is the Matter .With th�Police ?"In the list of new class officers printedin this column last month, Milton Coulter,recently chosen president of the class of1918, was designated as belonging to thePhi Kappa Sigma fraternity. At Mr.Coulter's request we make the announce­ment that he is a member of Kappa Sig­ma and not Phi Kappa Sigma. PhiKappa Sigma please write.FREDERICK R. KUH" '17.A Tribute to President JudsonOn December 19, in Ida Noyes Hall, threehundred members of the faculties and theirwives gave a dinner in honor of PresidentJudson and the administrative foresight andlabor which have resulted in the new estab­lishment for medical work. The committee incharge included Professor Bensley, ProfessorJordan, and Associate Professor Keyes. Pro­fessor A. C. McLaughlin was toastmaster, andDean Angell, Professor Tufts, Doctor FrankBillings, and the President spoke. ProfessorBensley read a memorial resolution which isgiven herewith. This resolution has been en­grossed on parchment, with beautiful illumina­tory decorations, signed by the members offaculties individually, bound in a morocco vol­ume, and presented to Mr. Judson. His speechat the dinner was extraordinary in its promisefor the future, not only in medicine, but alongall lines of educational development. TheMAGAZINE hopes to' give it in a subsequentissue. The resolutions follow:"The recent announcement by you, Mr. Presi­dent, of matured plans for the organization ofmedical research and education under the aus­pices of the University has called out amongyour colleagues, the members of the Faculties,lively and general expressions of gratification.It has excited high anticipations of what theseplans must mean for the future of our Univer­sity and for its service to mankind. Weareprompted to bring to you our greetings andfelicitations in recognition of this significantaccomplishment, and to make the event an occa­sion not only for enj oying with you the happyoutcome of the thought and labor of manyyears, but especially for transmitting to. youformally but intimately our appreciation of theimportant part which you yourself have had inmaking this outcome possible. ."To appreciate the significance of this furtherdevelopment of the University's resources andactivities, it is not necessary to recall the inti­mate relations which in the past medicine has sustained to science and philosophy, or to referto the leading role of medicine in the originsof the medireval university to which all modernuniversities trace their lineage. Enough to re­mind ourselves that with the recent dis­coveries, and especially with the recent de­velopments of methods of investigation,medicine is now drawing from every depart­ment of science the resources for its great taskand is in turn beginning to conceive that taskitself in such larger scope as to kindle theimagination and suggest new possibilities forhuman life. '"Your appreciation of the breadth . of thisdevelopment and of the opportunities for fun­damental contribution by the academic institu­tion we feel is evidenced on the one hand byyour activities in connection with extramuralendowments 'operating to promote medicaladvance at distant points, and on the otherhand by the development for our own institu­tion of a program at once comprehensive andidealistic. ."As members of the Faculties we can butfeel highly gratified and honored that our Uni­versity is to' have the opportunity of doing sogreat a service. We realize that this is pos­sible because the plans for medical develop­ment in general have been conceived alongsuch broad and sound lines, and no lessbecause your administration of the affairs ofthe University has been such as to. commandthe confidence of those who. desire to' con­tribute the means for carrying on such anenterprise."Your colleagues know you well enough tofeel that it would be distasteful to you to uselanguage of compliment or to. say all' thatmight easily be said concerning the difficultyand delicacy of the task which you have per­formed.

Since there were such a largenumber of men from the University in theregiment I am sure the article is appreciatedand proves interesting to your readers, andI am moved by the feeling that I may beable to add something to the article of in­terest to your readers; hence this letter.I am sure I will be pardoned if my nar­rative takes the color of my own viewpointas one of the officers of the regiment, and ifthe word "I" appears frequently in the nar­rative it will not be assumed that' I am act­-ing as my own press agent.I organized the Machine Gun Troop dur­ing the winter and spring immediately pre­ceding the call of the President. My troopwas therefore practically a rookie troop;with but two or three exceptions, none ofthe men had ever had a military trainingnor any experience in handling or ridinghorses, nor in handling a gun nor in takingcare of themselves in the field. I had anexceptionally fine, intelligent and willingpersonnel in the Machine Gun Troop. I willenumerate the men from the University andgive a little history of each of them, be­ginning with the order in which they ap­pear on the Troop's muster-rolls.I have belonged to the First Cavalry sinceI graduated from the Law School in 1909.My year in college was 1907. I held therank of First Lieutenant and was the activecommander of the Machine Gun Troop, al-'though Captain Walter A. Rosenfield, ofRock Island,. was, technically troop com­mander. Captain Rosenfield was assignedto other duties which kept him away fromthe troop the entire time of our service,except for about two weeks at Brownsvilleand a couple of weeks at Fort Sheridanduring muster out.He is an extremely capable man and hisabsence from the troop and the fact thatthe troop was practically a rookie troop andI a rookie troop commander, made my workvery arduous. To-make things more joyousfor me, a regimental order provided thatthere should .be at least one officer on dutyon the troop street all the time._ I was theonly officer' on duty with the troop. As apractical proposition I 'was busy fromreveille to taps and had no time to getaway, anyhow.I personally did 110t have a better timeor make more money than I would haveat home, and I believe that Baldridge iswrong when- he says that a great proportionof the officers were in that lucky class. Doubtless one or the other and, in somecase, both of the advantages did accrue to acertain small number of officers. In mytroop there was, I think, a large percentageof the. men who made as much money asthey did at home, due to the fact that theiremployers made up the difference betweentheir soldier's pay and their pay at homeand in one or two instances the men gottheir soldier's pay in addition to their salaryat home. At any rate, they all earned everycent. they got and considerably more ap­preciation than their fellow citizens andtheir government accorded -them on theirreturn. "Professor Adolph C. VonN oe left withthe troop .. I had appointed him corporal be­fore leaving and at Springfield I promotedhim to sergeant. Unfortunately he was re­jected on account. of his eyesight. I andthe men in the troop felt the loss quite, keenly.Troy L. Parker was, I believe, a studentat the University for some time; I knowall his brothers were. He left Chicago withthe rank of corporal, was promoted to ser­geant at : Springfield and later was madesupply sergeant. He was a very competentnon-commissioned officer and when not at ..tending to military duties took quite a largenumber of snapshots and has now a collec­tion of pictures. that are highly prized byhl111 and the troop. The fellow called him"What-Ho" from his- favorite remark. Hechose a chestnut horse with a bang tail anda terrible temper. He claimed that this ani­mal was the greatest horse in Texas. Ed­ward C. Park, another Chicago man, fellheir to him while Park was on leave of ab­sence for a while, and I suggest that thoseinterested ask Park.N ext on my list comes Fowler B. McCon­nell, "Big Bill," as he is called. He wasmade corporal at Springfield and later pro­moted to sergeant. He was quite a problemfor us for a while. We had great difficultyin getting breeches, blouses' and shoes bigenough for him and he had to ride hishorse with his legs in a cramped positionbecause no stirrup strap which we had onhand was long enough. Bill was alwaysable to handle his squad in any detail thatwas given to him. My top sergeant usedto say that he was ungodly slow, but whenI gave Bill a job to do I was able to dismissit frorn my mind and feel confident that itwould be done. After we got bur machineguns I put him in cominand of the thirdsection and he was accountable for one ma­chine' gun and all the equipment and mulesin his section, the property being worthprobably $4,000 or $5,00'0.-I did not know that Mayer Lipman was aChicago man until I read it in the Magazine.He was one of the troop buglers.128 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINELehman S. Ettelson was promoted toprivate, first class, at my first opportunity,and was indeed an able man and fit to be anon-commissioned officer. He was later as­signed duty as the troop .farr ier, or vet­erinarian, and looked after the health andwell-being of the horses, and the Lordknows they needed someone to look afterthem, the poor old, fever-stricken plugs.The first night our troop was on guard, Et­tleson was lying on the ground sleeping un­derneath the trees during his time off. Igot up at 2 o'clock in the morning to visitthe outposts and sentries and mounted uponmy horse, Mary F., and in riding out, Marystepped on the prostrate form of the far­rier, who cursed me and Mary F. roundlyfor our failure to see him there in theshadows, all of which, of course, was anextremely impolite way for a gentleman tosneak to a lady like Mary F ....Allan Loeb was also made private, firstclass, at Brownsville, and was developinginto material for a non-commissioned offi­cer when he was detailed to recruiting dutyat Chicago, which took him away from sol­diering. V\T e never got him back. Allanbouzht a little Ford car while he was thereand,'""needless to say, was an extremely popu­lar soldier in the outfit, since there were buttwo street cars running from the camp toBrownsville, and these stopped a half milefrom the camp.Private Willam S. Gregg was, I believe,a Chicago man. He was a great friend ofBill McConnell, and I assumed from that thathe was from Chicago. He was our crackbaseball player and a good soldier exceptwhen he was sick. He was one of the fewmen in the outfit who caught everythingthat came along.Private Abba Lipman was a cheerful andwilling soldier. One of his special dutieswas to get his brother Mayer out in time toanswer reveille. Abba was requested to beput on permanent kitchen police at one timeand became very efficient. I am willing toclass butler. He later resigned this postgive him a character any time as a firstwhile his laurels were still fresh.Charles F. Mayer found a little joy inlife on the border by mimicking Sam Co­hen's mannerisms. He also made quite afinancial success of his trip to the border, atleast in some of the games he was finan­cially successful. Charlie could saddle ahorse as quick as any man in the troop butclaimed that he had no genius for digginglatrines and cleaning picket lines.Samuel Cohen was very handy with toolsand he was made a carpenter during theconstruction period, and bossed a bunch ofMexican carpenters. We called them'"Spicks." He later became ambitious tobecome a cook and saved the bunch fromstarvatiori at Fort Sheridan by his able workin that department when Cook Faunce gothis leg broken in an automobile accident.Sam was there at everything all right and even if he did whine at his hard lot, he didhis wor k well. "\1\1 e have a picture of Edward C. Parksomewhere in our collections, in his under­shirt and khaki breeches, his face smearedwith soot, his head crowned with a paste­board box, standing, rake in hand, firingthe incinerator. I t was indeed humorous tosee this graduate of the world's greatestUniversity, who, I believe, holds both adoctor's and master's decree, seeing to itthat the potato peelings and garbage was _properly burned. Park was the only otherman in the troop who could ride SergeantParker's horse without courting death. Isuppose it was because his name was so. similar to Parker that the animal, whenintroduced to hip}, thought he was his Lordand Master, "What-Ho" Parker.Frank Prete furnished the only civilizinginfluence in the troop. "Music hath powerto charm the savage breast," so Prete got amandolin and kept the savage non-corns("the inspired steno") soothed with sweetmusic.I believe that I have not missed any Chi­cago men in my troop. J olm Roser wasrejected at Springfield in the physical ex­amination, so there is not much history towrite for him.I want you to note that Lieutenant JewettMatthews was appointed judge advocate be­cause of his great legal ability, and thatLogan Fox was the popular troop clerk ofL. Troop.Sergeant Oren Johnson was assigned as­sistant to the Ordnance Officer.LeRoy Baldridge has written his ownhistory better than I could. I cannot see,though, how Roy can begrudge the hard­working officers the occasional party theyenjoyed at camp, for he had a comparativelyleisurely life, or could have had, since hewas a member of the staff of the Cavalry­men, all of whom were petted and coddled,dined and wined until they were spoiled. Ithink Roy- has the right idea so far as theofficers are concerned and non-commis­sion ed officers. They were in need of in­struction in their duties as much as the men.The officers were, for the most part, compe­tent to and did instruct their non-corns. Iknow that I did in my troop un'til my non­coms, almost mutinied, being kept in campevery night for instruction purposes. Theofficers) however, were not so fortunate inthe matter of getting 'proper instruction andthey, of course; needed it most, sincethrough them instruction had to be passedto the men.

Thehour would have been much better spent inteaching us the method of keeping accountof property, keeping troop records and'handling the administrative work of thetroops.
