The present organizations'seem ., to varygreatly in effectiveness. N ear 1 y .all suffer from thelack of definite purpose. N of that anypurpose is theoretically necessary, savethe purpose of good fellowship; but,practically 'all organization which aimsat nothing' in, particular hits exactlythat. Too' many of our clubs meetonce a year: at a dinner, the arrangements for which fall upon one or two,usually the same one' or two; the attendance at which, though large assuch things go; is by no means madeup of those who 'have actually attended the university for a period longenough to develop their personal interest, but includes one-quarter students,wives or husbands of former 'students,and even individually, invited guests,The interests,' moreover,' even of 'thosewho have actually been in residence .atthe university for a year or more, aredivided. The man who. has taken hisA. B. at Missouri, his M. A. at Chicago, his Ph. Di.at Columbia, and whois teaching at the University of Iowa,has no special common ground uponwhich to, meet the "regular" graduatewho is in the furniture business. Theyhave no common fund of reminiscenceupon which to draw;' their accounts ofAlumniClubs memory are in different banks. Whenthey meet once a year they hardlyknow what to say to each other.Surely the remedy is not never tomeet. But 'it is, recognizing the facts,to organize. different groups which,individually meet-, ing oftener, may allcome together once in a while. Thosewho, have undergraduate. 'memories,those whose recollections, no less vivid,are of the graduate life and work, willin such a fashion rapidly become unified; and once such units are' framed,they can' be organized into" a singleforce' for the general common good bythe university. To be specific, by wayof starting the matter' all those whohave been regular undergraduates atChicago, and, who. find themselves together in .any locality, ought to form alunch club; 'and at least -once.a month;on an understood � day :ancL'hour, gettogether.' Any former"'student whoseunderqraduate work has been done elsewhere than at Chicago, but who. nevertheless has a real personal interest inthe University, would be enthusiastically welcome at those lunches; but thegroup would be a group of former undergraduates. Former' undergraduatemen, or former undergraduate tuomen,too, if you wish to go so. far. There isWhat toDo.188 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE,a lot of nonsense in the idea that because Chicago is co-educational all heralumni organizations .should be on theco-educational basis. 'One might aswell insist that because marriage is coeducational husband and wife shouldnever go anywhere unless they go together. The. general organizations willalways remain co-educational in theirinterests and direction; the separategroups need not, and many men andmore women believe will accomplishmore if they do not.' But that is adigression, The essential thing isgroup organization on ,the basis ofcommon memories, coming togetherfor larger work on the basis of common 'interest in the welfare of Chicago.Form such groups and they will soonfind something to do. It may be a verysmall thing. "Spike" Shull, '16, speaking at the recentdinner of the DesM 0 i n e s AlumniClub, called attention to the fact that all the relay teamsfrom other institutions-like Michigan,Illinois, Wisconsin=-who were 'at theDrake, University games last April,were entertained by the alumni of theirrespective institutions, but the Chicagomen were not entertained at all. Thestatement surprised and - shocked someof those present. It should not havesurprised them. The organization ofthe" Des Moines Club has practicallydepended on the enthusiasm and hardwork of one person, who has given lotsof time and effort to the work.. Thatperson isawoman, a B. A. of the University of Nebraska. She holds adoctor's 'degree from. Chicago, and, likemost of our doctors, cares enormouslyfortheadvancement .of the university.But how could her present interest be'in', .relay, teams? The' former uridergraduates in Des Moines should haveundertaken and carried through thatentertainment, and they would haveenjoyed themselves if they had. ,Sup-.:,:. '. ,To WhatEnd? pose such a group to pick out a youngman or a young 'woman of the localityand pay chis or her tuition at Chicagofor four yea.rs; will they not find at theend of" that time their interest in Chicago increased? Suppose they workout a scheme for a. "club gift," like theclass gifts, to the university-will itnot bind them to each other and totheir alma mater? Life is a stupid thingwithout group interests, Individualism carries' a man so' far, and thendumps him in the mud. But the groupinterest must be real. It cannot beforced. Put fifty' or a hundred peopleof all ages, ambitions, and training· ona desert island and keep them there fora' year, and you will have amalgamatedthem-or killed them off; but put themtogether at a dinner once a year, andunless there are "nuclei of association,"· you will accomplish nothing, not even"a good time had by all."The Cor n e 11Alumni Newssaid in late December:"The 'new subscriptions amounting totwenty thousand dollars a year, just obtained in New York City, bring up to atleast fifty thousand dollars the amount nowcontributed annually by alumni for the general support of Cornell University. Theresult, with respect to the University's income, is the same as if some' wealthy personhad added a million dollars to the endowment. But there is another benefit to beexpected from this Alumni Fund such ascould not be expected to accompany theIacceptance of an equivalent gift from awealthy 'patron. That benefit .is the senseof responsibility which some thousands ofCornellians are learning to feel toward theiruniversity when they give money for - its.� support, sometimes at the cost of self-sacri-'fice-responsibility not only for the university's welfare hut for its service. Wouldnot the University today be renderinggreater service if it had not been allowedto grow so fast ? Was its ten. million dollarendowment given ·it for the service of undergraduate students alone, some of themcaring little for what it gives them? Asthe trustees of this wealth, how can it render the greatest service? To a great de-.gree we alumni determine the University'spolicy. W � are more likely to ask ourselves such questions as the above if . weTwo Plansto NoteEVENTS AND DISCUSSIONare going into our own pockets to supportthe policies which we have encouraged."In January the Harvard Bulletin announced the launching of a project toraise among Harvard alumni ten million dollars for the endowment of theuniversity-this in addition to the$100,000 which each class gives on itstwenty-fifth anniversary. These twoannouncements are here mentioned asnews, not as suggestions. But theyare significant. As time goes. on,alumni first perhaps demand, thenreally feel, then welcome responsibility. How many of us have got be;:ond the first stage?What is to be the relation of thealumni of Rush Medical College to theUniversity of Chicago? Of course, inrecent years, manyof the Rushalumni have alsothe B. S. degreefrom the University, so that no problem is involved in their case. But ofthe nearly 5,000 living Rush alumniinany have no Chicago affiliations.Will these men care to identify themselves with the alumni associations ofChicago? A somewhat similar problemwas met when the Board of Trusteesof the University in the beginningvoted to re-enact all degrees from theOld University on application of theholders. But the problem is onlysomewhat similar; it is a long wayfrom being identicai, and cannot besimilarly solved. The Rush alumnihave absolutely no idea of terminatingtheir association. The question is onlyto what extent the two associationsshall walk together. For instance, hereis a small but typical matter. The RushAssociation publishes a monthly Bulletin . (edited by Morris Fishbein, Chicago, '11). It contains not only articlesof specifically medical interest, but personal news. It hardly seems likelyeither that such personal news couldbe transferred to the MAGAZINE (whichRush Alumniand Chicago 189would involve a double subscriptionby Rush men) or that the MAGAZINEcould carry the medical articles. Andyet of course as time goes on the U niversity Alumni Association will becontinually more anxious to keep intouch with her graduates who are inmedicine. All that can be said at present is that in all respects the UniversityAssociation is determined to go morethan half way if necessary to meet thewishes of the doctors, past as well asto come. It is pleasant to know, bythe way, that the president of theRush Association is Dr. John E.·Rhodes, Chicago, '76.Meanwhile thefollowing sta tement by Dr. E.Fletcher Ingals,reprinted from the January Rush Bulletin, will be of great interest:"I have been asked by a number of theAlumni what influence the Medical Schoolof the University of Chicago will have uponRush Medical College and the Alumni Association. The details have not yet beenworked out and will not be until the organicunion has been effected. This union willdoubtless be accomplished within a fewweeks, and during the coming year the University will assume th-e whole responsibilityfor the medical school, though it is altogether probable that practically all of thepresent teachers will be reappointed."I cannot speak with authority, but I havebeen closely associated with the trustees ofRush college and with many of the trusteesof the University of Chicago, and with thePresident of the University for the last 18years, and I feel that I know them well, andthat they are all men to be trusted. Thefuture of medicine has often been discussedand I feel confident that we may safelyleave it with the trustees of the Universityand the medical faculty that they will ap-point. ."One man said to me, 'So you are goingto close up Rush Medical College.' I answered, 'No, we are just opening it'; andthat is my feeling. The foundations thatwe have been building for three-quartersof a century are so substantial that it iscertain they will be appreciated by thosewho are to build up this great school ofmedical science. The present understandingis that there will be a school upon the Midway for undergraduates and that at thepresent site of Rush college, graduate workwill be carried on, and probably graduateDr. Ingals'Comment190 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEing theCorps.The training to be given will consistof two two-year courses.

Here we expect tooffer every facility for physicians to equipthemselves for special work or to brush' upin the general subjects of medicine andsurgery and we hope many of our alumnifrom year to year may _ take advantage ofthese opportunities."As to the alumni, since the first class in1843, 7,512 students have been graduatedand there are today some 4,600 living alumniof whom a large number are enrolled in theAlumni Association. I believe that theAlumni Association is just in its infancyand that it will grow stronger and moreefficient year by year and'that it may havea large influence in the molding of medicalthought and in the development of medicaleducation in this ideal organization. I amconvinced that we' have accomplished thegreatest ambition that the Alumni couldever have entertained and that- the workwe have founded will be carried on withmore vigor and 'with the most far reachingresults for medicine and humanity. I sayfor humanity, because there is nothing thattouches humanity at so many points as athoroughly educated medical profession."I have emphasized my belief in the futureof the Alumni Association by having myselfenrolled as a Life Member."DistinguishedAlumni Raycroft, '96 ; Walter W.

A recentletter to the Magazine from the headquarters of the Field Service Fund inBoston says in part:"Recent developments have, caused nochange whatever in our plans. Our workin the field service is going ahead with evenmore fervor than before-if that is possible-and I am confident you will be interestedto know something about what is takingplace in some of the colleges, large andsmall, throughout the country. At California a 'Friends of France' Society hasbeen organized, made' up mostly of SanFrancisco and the trans bay people, and thissociety has taken upon itself the financingof units from Leland Stanford Universityand the University of' California. A unitof twenty 'men .has already sailed fromStanford and the University of Californiawill send its unit on May 5. I have justreturned from Providence, where BrownUniversity is getting up a unit to sail injune. . The business men of Providencehave pledged themselves to back all menwho need and are deserving of financial aid.Among the other colleges which are takingup the work of organizing units to sail inMayor June are the Washington and Jefferson of . Washington, Pa.; Davis and Elkins, Elkins, W. Va.; Harvard sent a unitof twenty-eight men a week ago and isstill recruiting for another unit; .Yale iswaking up, we having had several inquiriesof late. She has heretofore .. sent a fewscattered men. Bowdoin and Williams aresending' men in smaller numbers, etc .. Wehave had in the service to date an enrollment of 540 men, of which 300 are nowdoing active service in the field; we also. have over 200 ambulances in: the service.Since the beginning of the war we havecarried over 400,000 wounded and of thisnumber over 200,000 have been saved bythe quickness with which our small lightcars, which can go so near the trenches,get the wounded to a .place for first surgicalaid. A man who goes to France and givessix months of service with us carries onan average about 1,500 men. Of these 700are saved. It costs a man $37.5 to go fromChicago to Paris and back, serving sixmonths. If such a man does an averageman's work this is buying human lives atthe rate. of 50 cents. apiece."A misleading but complimentarystatement, which fortunately the Chicago daily papers did not get hold of,has appeared in various college magazines to the effect that two units (fifty192 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEmen) from the University of Chicago,will soon sail. These units are reallymade up of men from many colleges,but who live in Chicago. The presentneed is quite as much for cars as formen, and all alumni interested areasked to get into touch immedia.telywith Paul Harper, who is on the committee.Appropriately enough, on Washington's birthday the Michigan board ofathletic control voted to request theregents to applyfor readmission tothe Conference.Washington couldnot tell a lie and neither could theboard of athletic control: Michiganwants to play in our yard. WalterKennedy, '00, captain of the "Great"Chicago eleven of '99, now proprietorof a paper in Albion, Michigan, wrotethe editor recently: "You have theviewpoint of a university official,guardian of the students, while I lookat the situation from the point of viewof one who enjoys keen rivalry in college athletics. It seems to me youhave a tendency toward that emasculated .forrn of college athletics calledintramural. My goodness! (Ken'swriting is hard to read; perhaps thisphrase has been incorrectly deciphered.) Let the boys have a good time.Think how much fun we should have'missed if we in our time had been onthe outside looking in, as Michigan isnow." We venture to say that EditorKennedy expresses the view of 99.99per cent of all the athletes who haverepresented Chicago. On February 23the Michigan Board of Regents met,but on account of a press of other business did not act on the request of theboard of athletic control. The regentsmeet next on March 30. If they voteto apply for readmission to the Conference the application will be granted,and in all probability the Michigantrack team will be seen on Stagg FieldMichigan Votesto Return on June 3rd at the Intercollegiate. Allfootball schedules for next fall have,however, been already arranged.Meanwhile a special meeting of theConference Committee was held inFebruary to consider the matter ofMichigan's a p -pearance at theI 11 i n 0 i s relayraces on March17. Illinois in good faith had invitedthe Michigan men among the rest tocompete, and Michigan had accepted;the invitation and acceptance bothbased on the fact that at the Drakeand Pennsylvania relays Michigan hadin the past competed against Conference teams. But there is a Conference rule to the effect that no university once a member of the Conference may compete in athletics heldunder the management of any Conference College. After consideration, andacknowledgment of error on the partof Illinois, it was decided that in this'case the conference would overlook theviolation of the rule" with the understanding that no similar violationwould in the future be permitted.The IllinoisRelay SituationAt the meeting of the National Collegiate Athletic Association in NewYork in December Mr. Stagg introduced, at the suggestion of GeorgeHuff of Illinois, aresolution that theRockefeller, the Carnegie, or the SageFoundation be asked to finance an investigation of college athletics, with aa view to determining the conditions inaccordance with which athletes decided to attend this· college or that.Everybody .knows that such athletesare frequently financed .by individualalumni, or by business men of thetowns which certain institutions adorn ;that in effect such athletes are contracted' for like professional baseballplayers. The editor has seen a letterInvestigationof Athletics?EVENTS AND DISCUSSIONfrom a former freshman at Chicago,": perhaps even of character if younow playing at a 'small college, in please, but .a game-well, about aswhich the young man remarks that he much so as that which Spartacuswould have liked to return to Chicago, played upon the .bloody sands. Andand indeed hopes to come back to get as we in the colleges, all except thehis. degree, but that five hundred dol- men who play it, keep insisting thatlars was too big an offer to. turn down, it is a game, we hate to see the garTo what extent does this. go on? No- ment of our illusions ripped and torn.body knows; many guess wildly. Areany of the colleges implicated as institutions? Nobody knows; many guesswidely. Will -investigation do. anygood? In the editor's opinion, mightylittle. As long as you have a big gate,you will have scandal. But some goodit may do. Mr. Stagg and Mr. Huffare two men who are' neither willingto violate the spirit of rules themselvesnor to wink at violations; they havethe courage of their convictions; andif they back such an investigation thereis probably something in it.Partly in connection with the foregoing, consider this. Talk has beenfrequent lately, and particularly .Iierein Chicago, ofprofessional football on a largescale - a· league,indeed, recruited, of course, from thecolleges. Every alumni magazine thiseditor has seen has fulminated againstit. For heaven's sake, why? If football is a good game for amateurs, whynot for professionals? If skill is good,why is not more skill better? If fromHarvard's fine team of 1915, four menwent into professional football; if thecaptains of the Illinois team and theMinnesota team of 1916 caught trains. to play; a professional game before the.smell of their last. amateur contest wasout' of their uniforms, what was theharm?-' This,' o{ course: that "professional" football immediately reducesthe game to the absurdity it is not seenby everybody to be while amateurs areplaying it.

Wehear little talk ofit. These thingsmitigate againstthe type of re_'union at Chicago which 'characterizes, .other universities. One is the factthat we graduate our students fourtimes a year instead of bunching them.Another is the fact that Chicago thecity is so large, and has living in it somany of our former students that aspecial time for reunion is not as necessary as elsewhere. Third is the confusion of our' class systems. In thefirst ten years class 'organization wasvery loosely managed, Even sincethat time, although the classes as suchhave been far more firmly bound to-gether, there is and 'can be no suchbond as marks the classes of colleges. of the ,ordinary type. The Miiqasinesent out in January 'letters to all identifia ble class. secretaries asking themto "send us' each month some news ofthe members of your class.

'"By a strange coincidence this .greatsubject was also, at the time thesewords were spoken, very much in thethoughts and purposes of Mr. Rockefeller. He was thinking of a great institution for medical research. Hisplans had not matured and 'PresidentHarper had no knowledge of 'them.The latter was anxious that the University should have some connectionwith medical education. The' receiving of Rush Medical College as the Medical School of the U niversity hadbeen considered in 1�4, but decidednegatively. . When an affiliation wasproposed some years later it was received with favor. President Harperwished to make some sort of a beginning in medicine, and in 189.8 the proposed affiliation was made. It was atthis time that the first intimation, if itwas an' intimation, was received ofwhat was beginning to' take shape inMr. Rockefeller's mind as to medicalresearch. This came in a letter fromMr. Gates to Secretary Goodspeed regretting that the University had takenaction committing itself prematurelyin regard to medical work. Mr. Gatesprofessed to be speaking only for himself when he referred to "that farhigher and better conception, whichhas been one of the dreams of my owrimind at least, of a medical college inthis country, conducted by the University of Chicago, magnificently endowed, devoted primarily to investigation, making practice itself an incidentof investigation, and taking as its- students only the' choicest spirits, quiteirrespective of the question of funds.Against that ideal and possibility a tremendous, if not fatal" current' has beenturned.',"This meant that he felt it to be amistake for the University to 'connectitself with any existing institution of. medicine, and that it should delay en_ tering the medical field until measurescould be, matured. for realizing his'dream.' At the first meeting of the,trustees after the reception of Mr.Gates's letter the secretary. was in-I structed to assure Mr. Gates that theaffiliation entered into 'is the ordinaryaffiliation entered into with other institutions and recorded in the. printedterms 'of affiliation and that the Trustees have not contemplated that therelation shall go further than. the ordinary affiliation.'"The President, however, was soanxious to make a beginning in medicalRUSH MEDICAL COLLEGEeducation that when, in April, 190L theTrustees of Rush Medical College re.,.quested the Trustees 'of the Universityto .receive the two lower classes ofRush as students of the 'University,doing the work of these, two years inits laboratories, the' University Trustees agreed to' take this important stepif fifty thousand dollars could be secured 'with which to provide for initialexpenses necessarily connected with"such work.' For this sum, needed forthe new medical' work, application was'made to Mr. Rockefeller, who consented that the 'sum required shouldbe taken from his 1895 subscription.'In writing to John D. Rockefeller, Jr.,Mr. MacLeish, the vice-president ofthe Board, said that the President estimated ,that in taking the step proposedtl).e annual expenses" would be increasedby the sum of forty-four thousand dollars, and that' the attendance of students would be increased by threehundred, fullyproviding through theirfees for the increase in expenses. "Itwill be seen from these estimates howgreat a step in', expansion was takenin assuming the instruction ,of theclasses of the first two years of themedical course. The new work beganOctober 1, t901, and was carried on 'successfully, 'The number of studentswas not large at the outset., It wasfive years before it reached three hundred, and ir averaged about that number' during the following eight years. 197When. one remembers the uninterrupted growth of the University, hewonders why the attendance in themedical department did not show the, same increase. It should be said inexplanation that through a series ofyears the standard for admission wasraised annually, every successive stepin the process cutting off an additionalnumber of candidates for "entrance."The expenditure's of the first. yearin the new department, in addition' tothe fifty thousand dollars for the initialequipment, amounted to forty-onethousand dollars, but soon increasedto above fifty thousand dollars a year.This was the limit of expansion inmedicine during the first quarter-century. In President Harper's DecennialReport, 1901-2, he made a somewhatfull statement of the order ol proced-ure he hoped to see followed in thedevelopment of the medical work. Itincluded the erection ofnew buildings,the establishment of new chairs, theprovision of great hospitals for MediCine, Surgery, Obstetrics, Children'sDiseases, and. Contagious Diseases, theorganization of a School 'qf Dentistryand aNurses' Training School, and theextension of the work. of the MedicalSchool to the three sides of the City.At" the end of the first quarter-centurythe great givers who would enable theUniversity to take these advancedsteps were still hoped for and ex ...pected."198 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEThe South Gate of Hull CourtTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 199A Corner of Kent Laboratory200 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINECollege Women in Magazine Work[So many girls apply to this editor forinformation about the qualifications necessary for editorial work on magazines thathe wrote finally for information to anauthority, Myra Reed, '11, who in five yearsafter leaving college became editor of MeCall's Magazine, in New York. Her replyis printed herewith.-Ed.]In the editorialfield, for eve r yone position opento women, thereare ten for mena condition thatwill change, however, as womendemonstrate theirfitness and theirinterest-but despite this apparently discouraging situation, the difficulty the individual oftenmeets in securing a position lies not somuch in the lack of opportunity as in herlack of knowledgeof the field and of thequalities she should stress to get herposition.The magazine field proper is probablythe 1\'I eeca of most editorial aspirants;but, usually, in order to get into that,several intermediate steps, of which thenewspapers, trade and class journals,and the book publishers form the principal ones, are necessary. With theexception -of the newspapers, all the publishers demand practically the samequalifications in their workers, so thatthe ability to hold a position with onepublisher guarantees one's capacity foranother periodical, even though of an entirely different type. Even as the editorial workers climb the ladder to thehigh-class literary periodical, the equipment which makes it possible for themremains the same in essentials as whenthey held their first position; the onlychange is in their own quality-a surertouch, a sounder judgment, a wider experience of crises and their solution, abigger and deeper acquaintance withpeople, a quicker perception of values.At first hand, of course, I don't know the peculiar needs of the whole periodicalfield, since m)' work has lain in only afew of the several possible channels; but,after all, a woman's magazine with alarge circulation meets the sameproblems and does the same work alongbroad lines as any other magazine, sothat the qualities essential in one of myeditorial assistants would be equally essential in any other editorial office. Allmagazines have what seems like a verysmall staff. Outside of my office force,and my stenographers and secretary, andthe various sub-editors who handle individual departments, such as the cookingdepartment, the baby welfare department, etc., I have only two assistanteditors who are in the office every dayin the week for the full quota of hours..One of them is responsible for the frontof the book-that is, for the book as farback as the advertising-and the secondone for the pages of editorial matterwhich run along beside the advertisingcolumns. Between them, they read andreport to me on all the manuscripts thatcome in, they edit and rewrite the manuscripts that are accepted, pick out thecaptions in them for illustration, markthe pictures to be made into cuts whenthe pictures come in from the artists, andfinally read proof on the articles whenthey are set up. They go out of the office to secure additional informationwhen some particular article is not fullenough, and, in addition, they see all thepeople who come to the office-usuallywriters and illustrators-whom I don'thave time for; and that means ten ortwelve a day.When I pick out a young woman forone of these positions, I want her tohave had enough magazine experienceso that she can read proof and will knowall the mechanical peculiarities.

It isreprinted here because it seems as effective a presentation of what alumnican do for their university as can befound anywhere:"The most democratic endowment ofany university-every day 12 Yalemen contribute.Last year 4,481 graduates contributed to the Alumni Fund.Each day of the year 12' Yale alumnimade gifts to the university.In 26_ years such gifts have built upthe greatest of all Yale endowmentsa fund that has provided the university$700,000 in income and holds nearly$1,000,000 as principal.The crises of the university areserved by this fund. Large endowments are given for specific purposesand may be used for nothing else. Thisfund constitutes a large part of thegeneral income of the university.Without it work which is vital toYale's growth could not' be startedand maintained until specific endowments could be secured to provide permanently for it. Your gift, large orsmall, will help:Whatever your income, whateveryour necessities, add your name to thelist of Yale's loyal supporters in your,class.The whole level of ' Yale teachinghas been raised' by the increase insalaries brought about by this fund.It keeps at Yale men at the forefrontof their particular fields. PresidentHadley says: "Last year, due to theAlumni Fund, 40 assistant Professorstaught courses formerly entrusted toyoung instructors; 40 other seasonedmen were retained whose classes in other yeats would have passed to' inexperienced beginners."It furthers research work of international importance.'It provides lectures by renownedvisitors.It furnishes equipment the lack ofwhich would seriously retard Yale'sprogress.Progressive departments, such as theBureau of Appointments and 'the Department of Health, have all beenmade possible by this fund."In this connection also we reprintfrom the Yale Alu,mni Weekly "SomeRemarks on Professors' Salaries," byGeorge E. Vincent, Ph. D., 1896, president of the University of Minnesotaand chairman-elect of the RockefellerFoundation:In the Republic, after Socrates hasdivided his citizens into three classes, thisquestion is asked: How make members ofthese groups contented with their lots? Tomeet this problem Socrates, proposes a"serviceable falsehood." Let them be tolda myth: they are all children of a commonmother, Earth, but into thernaking of themdifferent metals have entered., The guardians or philosophers have an element ofgold. To these leaders is assigned the taskof ruling the city. They are to live at common tables, to forego luxuries, to hold noprivate property; and to devote themselvesunselfishly to the public welfare. When adoubter asks whether these philosopherswill be satisfied to serve- without the rewards of wealth, Socrates replies : "Weshall tell them that they already have goldin their own characters, and hence have noneed of mere, sordid metal."The essential principles of human societydo not greatly change. We have been telling our guardians "serviceable falsehoods."We stimulate our teachers and professorsby fine phrases; we depict the advantagesof training the youthful mind, and extol thesatisfaction of quiet, unobtrusive service tosociety. It is quite astonishing to note howwell this plan has succeeded. Even todaywe are paying college professors too largelyin the currency of compliment..ALUMNI AND PROFESSORSJ SALARIESNoone seriously believes that men ofhighest character 'can he bribed into anacademic career. ' In earlier days religiousand institutional loyalty had great influence.Men lived simply, and spent themselvesfreely for· the institutions to which theywere pledged. The intellectual satisfactionsof scholarship, escape from the competition of commercial life, comradeship withcongenial colleagues, the sense of kindlingin other minds ideals of intellectual andspiritual progress, constitute the real rewards which today appeal to leaders in thework of higher education.I t is one thing to recognize these leadingmotives; quite another to regard economic'considerations as negligible. If the menwho devote themselves to college and university teaching are to do their work well,they must be able to count upon incomeswhich will free them from sordid anxietiesand give them opportunities for growth.The college teacher's professional traininggrows more and more 'exacting. He mustdevote years to study before he becomes acandidate for the higher ranks of service.ThIS implies increased investment in himself before he can hope. for satisfying re--turns. Unless men of real ability can lookforward with confidence to receiving adequate incomes, they are unlikely to enter theteaching profession. It is essential, therefore, to the recruiting of university faculties that salaries be put upon a higher level.The college professor occupies in American life a difficult position. By educationand tastes he is fitted to associate with peo-·ple who enjoy much larger incomes, andwhose standards of dress, entertainment andother expenditures are far beyond his reach.I t requires philosophy, humor, and thehighest breeding to play such a part withdignity and serenity. There is an economiclimit below, which the professor and hisfamily can hardly hope to achieve this difficult taskThere are austere people who would prescribe for the professor, his wife and hischildren a regime of simplicity, self-denialand isolation from the world· and all itsworks. Unfortunately, if the professor isto be a human and genial influence in theclass-room, he needs contact wlth a wideenvironment, He must travel; he must escape a narrow provincialism. It is notenough that he be a. hig'hly-trairied specialist. He should i-n -rhe best sense be also ai man of. the world. And this is not to beachieved on the average salary of a railwayengineer."The professional schools in our universi-'.fies have had to meet the competition ofextra-mural demands. Many professors oflaw are receiving salaries of $6,000. Therehave been recent appointments made at$7,500. The. full-time clinical salaries in.at least one. medical school have been set 203at $10,000. Professors of engineering arevery generally' permitted to receive feesfrom private practice. Thus, in one institution a professor of engineering is paid asalary of $2,000 out of his total income of$25,000. Professors of languages, literature,history, mathematics, the pure sciences, cannot fail to resent the disparity between thesalary scale of liberal arts colleges, and therange of incomes in professional schools.There is a more or less justified feelingthat the law of supply and demand in thisfield ought to be modified by considerationsof public policy.The chief hope' of the academic profession lies in the competition between universities in their search for the best available men. With increasing resources, thiscompetition has had a perceptible influence in raising the general level of salaries.Ten years ago a professional salary of$5,000 was exceptional. Today in leadinginstitutions it \ is assumed as a desirableminimum for men of the first rank. Onebegins to hear of salaries even in arts colleges of $5,500 and $6,000. Within a shorttime this new scale will be established, andthe institutions which ar,e not able to meetit will face the danger of losing their outstanding men.Again it is important to remember thatit is not merely the salary which influencesthe decision to leave one university for another. The larger salary is an index ofother things: of library resources, of opportunities for research, of reasonable poursof teaching, of relief from mere routine, ofcongenial and stimulating comradeship ofall those elements which go to make agenuine university rather than em instruction factory. No university can afford tohold its men by appeals of loyalty unlessthey have back of them as a pledge ofconfidence an adequate and dignified salary.- The Yale Alumni Fund has in the pastbeen of great value to Yale .Univer sity inenabling it to increase the scale of salaries.The time has come when the friends ofYale must respond with increasing generosity in order that Yale may retain heroutstanding scholars, and consistently addto their number by drawing from other college-s and universities men of promise andaccomplishment, It - will not. do to relyupon a myth which seeks to beguile menby fine phrases and to exact of them sacrifices which they have no right to, make.Yale advances steadily, adding to a finetradition new achievements in scholarship.Alma Mater summons her sons to her aid,reminding them - that not buildings andbooks and equipment make a universitygreat, but that men of scholarship, of imagination, of contagious ideals, and of kindling' enthusiasm are the true sources ofinstitutional leadership and power.204 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEOn the QuadranglesA month 6'£ social fulgence, including more than the wonted quota ofteas, dances, and receptions, reachedits climax in the Washington promenade, that annual performance whichThe Daily Maroon dithyrambicallycharacterized as "the University'smost cherished tradition." Previousrecords for attendance at the Promwere broken, when over 190 couplesgrand-marched, sang the -Alrna Mater,and tripped the axiomatic light fantastic. Bartlett gymnasium was ornamented for the occasion by ferns,flowers, sparkling fountains, and othersylvan "props"; a fourteen-piece orchestra supplied such symphonic contortions as "Honkey Tonkey," "OhYou Lovely Ladies," and "Pray forthe Lights to Go Out"; and the twopromenade wings were led by LyndonLesch and Nadine Hall, and PercyDake and Margaret MacDonald.The Women's Administrative Council supervised a reception earlier inthe month, at which men of the Lawschool, Snell hall, and Sophomoreclass were the guests. A vaudevilleand dance furnished the entertainmentat a 1917 party, given at the DeltaUpsilon house; and a one-act tragedy,"Uncle Tom's Cabin," was the principal attraction. at a Junior classsmoker on February 7. Of a more dignified nature was the reception accorded President Judson on February16 in Ida Noyes, which was held underthe auspices of a committee includingHelen .Wescon, Katherine Chamberlain, Joseph Levin, Arthur Hanisch,Earl Bondy, Barbara Sells, Lucy Williams, and Walter Krupke. The newspirit of "informality and democracy"drew an unusual crowd to the President's reception; among the democratic innovations were a saxaphonequartet and the opening of the IdaNoyes bowling alleys. Elections to the Undergraduatecouncil and Honor commission onFebruary 15 afforded ample interest tothose politically inclined on thecampus. The successful candidatesfor the council were Eva Richolson,Walter Bowers and Stanley Roth fromthe Junior class; Frank Breckenridgeand Loretta Lamb from the Sophomore class; and John Stapler andEdith West from the Freshman class.Survivors in the balloting for theHonor commission were Eloise Smith,Agnes Murray, Sumner Veazey, andGarret Larkin from the "class of 1918;.

Among other disasters of the month on the campus wasa small fire on Stagg field, whichcaused but slight damage..FREDERICK R.

As presented herewith, it shows the usual ups and downs.Beta Phi, which stands at the head, hadonly two members and no pledges and maypractically be disregarded. Delta Chi,which comes second, had only four undergraduate members and three undergraduate pledges, and is also, therefore, hardlyin the class of the others.

The bust is the workof the late Charles J. Mulligan; and thespeakers at the presentation exercises wereLorado Taft on .behalf of Mr. Mulligan,Arthur J. Masau for the donors, Miss Katharine Stilwell on "Colonel Parker as I KnewHim," Director Charles H. Judd on "TheDevelopment of Colonel Parker's Idea," andPresident Judson for the University. Thebust stands in the central corridor of Emmons Blaine Hall of the School of Education.The Magazine in the February issue announced that Dr. Otis W. Caldwell, Ph. 0.,'94, had recently bee.n appointed Directorof. the experimental school which will beestablished by Teachers' College, ColumbiaUniversity, and supported by the GeneralEducational Board. The school is so interesting an experiment, and has been subj ectto so much criticism favorable and unfavorable, that a short statement of its purpose and plan will be in place here. This 'school has been designed for the purposeof an experiment in the reorganization ofthe curriculum of the elementary and secondary school. It' is proposed to' determinewhether better educative results may be secured through training by use of materialsrelated more closely to the work and interests which occupy the time and attention of persons in their regular occupations.The school will be equipped with the verybest facilities and teachers obtainable, sothat the experiment may be carried out under .. favorable conditions. I t is expectedthat any good results that come from theexpe-riment will be made available to schoolsgenerally, but it is clearly understood thatpublic schools will make use of any resultsfrom this school only as there is clear\ and practicable demonstration under' normalconditions. I t is planned to include in thecourse an increased amount of practical science, household and industrial arts, modern languages - English, French, German,Spanish" Italian; to include more social. andindustrial history, music, art, and literature.The experiment' will include not only achange in the nature' of the materials of thecurriculum; but' also in the method of work,since constant, effort will be made to recognize the interests and needs of individualeducation. .The Administrative Board of the newschool includes the Dean of Teachers Col-:lege, Dr. J.' E. Rus'sell, .who' is the chairman;. the Director of the - school, Dr. Caldwell; Mr. V. Everit Macy, Mrs. Willard D.Straight, Mr. Felix M. Warburg, Mr. Arthur, Turnbull, Dr. George E.

Animpressive feature was the large part takenin many instances in the scientific programs by Ph.D alumni- of the University.Of the entire program of the Section onPsychology, consisting of some forty-sixpapers, eleven papers were presented byten graduates of our department of psychology. Eight of the seventy-one papersread before the American Society of Zoologists were by our graduates or students.About one-third of the papers before theSection of Geology and Geography werepresented by our department or its formerstudents, and in the Association of American Geographers about one-fourth weregiven by members of our department or itsformer students. University of Chicagomen gave thirty of some three hundredpapers which the botanists had on theirprograms. Professor William McPherson,Ph.D., 1899, of the Ohio State University,as the retiring vice-president of the Chemistry Section of the Association, gave themain address of one of its meetings on"Asymmetr-ic Synthesis and Vital Force";Professor George H.

Hewill speak at the spring convocation, inMandel, on March 20.Professor Moulton, who for a number ofvears was an extension lecturer for Cambridge University Jn England, came to thiscountry in 1890 to deliver 'a series of University Extension lectures. Although hewas offered several tempting opportunitiesto remain permanently in this country, hedecided that he could not accept any. However, in Christmas week, 1890, as the resultof a single conversation. with Dr. Harper,who was making plans for the new University, Professor Moulton agreed to cometo the University for one year. That z.ppointment resulted in a lifework at the University of Chicago; and friends of Professor Moulton will regard his appearance'at the One Hundred and Second Convocation as the quarter-centennial celebrationof his appointment to the University fac-ulties in February, 1892. .While widely known as a lecturer onliterature both in this country and in England, Dr. Moulton is even better known for his many books on literary subjects,including volumes on Shakespeare as aDramatic Artist, The Ancient ClassicalDrama, The Literary Study of the Bible,and Shakespeare as a Dramatic Thinker, aswell as World Literature and Its Place inGeneral Education and The Modern Studyof Literature.At the last meeting of the American Oriental Society a committee was appointedto organize a western branch, the chairmanof the committee being Director JamesHenry -Breasted, of the Haskell OrientalMuseum, who is also chairman of the Department of Oriental Languages and Literatures.Already the committee has had somefifty acceptances for membership in the newsociety, which held its first meeting at theUniversity of Chicago on January 27. DeanAngell gave the address of welcome, andtwelve papers were presented by representatives of various western institutions,including the University of Illinois, the University of Missouri, the McCormick Theological Seminary, the Hebrew UnionCollege of Cincinnati, the Field Museum ofNatural History, the University of Wisconsin and the University of Chicago.

He is secretary of the mathematics and astronomy section in the American Association for the Advancement ofScience, and has recently collaborated withProfessor T. C. Chamberlin, head of theDepartment of Geology at the Universityof Chicago, in the development of the newscientific theory known as the planetesimalhypothesis.RECENT ALUMNI CLUB DINNERSIf you will take off your hat to MosesDwight McIntyre, '98, he will show you abetter one; but he will not sell it to youunless you are hydra-headed, and so buywholesale.

Such action was taken, andthe new Executive Committee now consistsof twelve members. The purpose was tohave this serve as a clearing-house for allalumni activities, thus efficiently prornotiJ}g alumni interests and avoiding duplicatron of effort, The chairmen constitutingthe Executive Committee, not including itsex-officio members, now each represent aseparate field of activity, the fields whencombined covering all alumni work. Thus,each group may be continually active inits own field independently, at the sametime knowing through its chairman of theactivities of every other committee.It was found desirable, during the proc�ss of development, to make a few changesIII the plan presented at the last meetingof the Council.

These wereselected from a large number of suggestions which were handed in writing toPresident MacClintock, and upon which hereported informally at the last annual meeting.The topics now to be taken up are asfollows: .(1) The promotion of research througha combination of effort centralized in sucha way that assignment of definite pieces ofinvestigation could be made to individualdoctors and the results eventually correlated and published with due credit to allconcerned.(2) The stimulation of advanced studyby a loan fund endowed by the Doctors'Association and open to candidates for thedoctorate at the University of Chicago.- (3) The promotion of research throughprizes, honors or other awards, endowed bythe Doctors' Association and open to competition by all the Doctors of the U niversity.(4) The promotion of teaching by, theinauguration of a movement to establish ateaching doctorate co-ordinate with thedoctorate of philosophy, which latter mightthen be reserved for the field of pure research. (5) The enhancement of the Doctors'status by a movement for further co-operation among the members of the association, whereby they may be kept more keenlyalive to the opportunities for the placingand promotion of Chicago Doctors.I t is hoped that all members will takeactive interest in one or more 'of these subjects and will volunteer to serve as contributing members of some standing committee. Responses have already begun tocome in, showing that there is interestalong these lines, and the members willbe glad to give their services to the cause.There is no doubt but that the association.can do a large amount of effective work,not only in its own ·behalf, but for the general advancement of educational interestsaffected by or centering in the Doctors ofPhilosophy. It is hoped that a very largenumber of the members may take an activepart in these discussions and some reportsof progress will be ready to report at theannual meeting in 1917.One response, aside from the questionssuggested, indicates precisely the sort ofthing which should be reported by anymember of the association who may havesimilar experiences in mind.' The matterreferred' tot. involves special privileges atHarper Library for the Doctors of the U niversity whose researches may lead them toreturn to the campus. This particulargrievance has been reported direct to thelibrary and it is hoped that definite progresswith regard to such matters may be announced to the association very soon."Women Workers and Society," by AnnieMarion MacLean (Ph'.

(Peoria, Illinois.)"It might interest you to know that forthe eighteen months before I left Turkeythe Alumni Magazine was the only thingthat was not on the mail censor's ta-boolist, and so 'it had to take the place of letters, newspapers and magazines.

Yet every game but one,the Iowa affair, was fiercely fought, andagainst Illinois, Purdue and Minnesota, inBartlett, a very little luck would haveturned' the scale against teams which areall made up, as a matter of fact, of muchbetter players than Chicago can boast of. �The men have ,played good basketball, butthe other fellows have played better. Onegame at this writing, remains, against Wisconsin, ,in Bartlett, on March 3. A victoryover Detroit Y. M. C.

Local records' were broken byDismond in the quarter, 54 seconds; VanAken of Purdue in the half, 2 :n2; Tenney inthe mile, 4:28 2/5; Powers in the two-mile,9 :514/5, and Higgins in the shot, 42 ft. 8�inches. Feuerstein won his .heat in theforty-yard dash in 44/5, but was 'beaten / inthe finals.Ohio State was defeated still more overwhelmingly, 62-24, on Feb. ,16', though Dismond did not compete. "Chick" Harley ofOhio State won the fifty-yard, dash. byinches from Feuerstein in ,5%, but Chicago took all the other fi,rsts.' Guerin tookthe fifty-yard high hurdles in 7 seconds;Curtiss the quarter in 57; Clark the halfin', 2:04U; Tenney the mile in 4:340/&, andPowers the two-mile in 10:11%,.

'_ I,But, the most striking running of themonth was put OJl at the First Regiment'meet, where Tenney, from. twenty yardsgot second in the mile handicap, his actualtime for the', full, mile ,b,�ing., estimated at 4 :20tS, and Chicago (Clark, Curtiss, Feuerstein and Dismond) won the mile relay in3:27. The national A. A. U. champion, IoieRay, now running better than ever, beforein his life, was at scratch in the mile. Bythe end of the second lap he and, Tenneywere on even terms .. , They (an through thebig field together till the eighth lap, Ray ayard ahead. Tenney there caught him,passed him and beat him home by twelve. yards, finishing a few. feet back of Mellorof the 1. A. c., who won with a hundredyards handicap, in 4 :16. That race stampsTenney as one of the three best milers inthe colleges today. The relay was a farce.r Clark, running in 51, beat Miller of the 1.' A .c., who three weeks before .had beaten TedMeredith'in a scratch quarter. Curtiss andFeuerstein both raced in about 52 seconds,.and Dismond loafed in, a third of a lapahead in almost 53 seconds. The four couldhave beaten 3 :25 with ease, and if. they donot win. the mile' relay at the Illinois gamesMardi 3 it will be because one of themfalls down. ,Prospects for the intercollegiate championship, to 'be contested: at EvanstonMarch 24, are fair. Powers, Snyder, if heisin shape,' and Otis, if he elects to run it,can all beat ten minutes in the two-mile.Tenney has the mile .safe and Jones hasa look-in, Clark will be ,tllere or thereabouts in the half, Dismond has alreadywon the. quarter, and the relay will beeasy. Fisher should win the high jump,and place in the vault;' which Graham canwin if his .knee is not knocked 'out.
