The present programoffers, as usual, the dinners for thewearers of the "C" on Thursday even­ing, and the Inter-Fraternity Sing onFriday evening, and it offers, further,a compact program on Saturday after­noon and evening, June 9th, which willgive plenty of opportunities for the re­newal of acquaintance. The drilling ofthe University Battalion on Stagg Fieldafter the Conference Meet and the en­tertainment in Mandel, the originalplans for which will be changed to, something more definitely fitting theoccasion, will give an unusual chancefor those who are not directly con­cerned to show collectively their pa­triotic 'spirit; while the alumni gameon Friday between -the University ofChicago. and the University of Lllinois,and the Conference Meet on Saturday,and the various luncheons and dinners,will give those who come back an 0'p­portunity for an expression of the moredefinite feeling of reunion. The planThe JuneReunion which has this year been adopted, ofgroup reunions, including (1) the alum­ni of the old University; (2) the classesup to 1900; (3) the classes from 1901to 1905; (4) the classes from 1906 to1910, and (5) the classes from 1911 to'1916, is the best that has yet beenevolved. It will riot in any way in­terfere with specific class reunions, theorganization of each group being par­ticularly in the hands of that class rep­resented in it, which has its 0 specialreunion this year and, on the otherhand, it gives a definite assurance tothe alumni of each period that theywill be able to meet many of the menand women they knew while they werehere; which, in our present state ofcomparatively loose class organization,is a highly desirable thing.The suggestion is made herewith andwill be embodied in a letter sent toeach of the alum-111 all over thecountry that, ifpossible, they ar­range a meeting for June 9th, at whichthey may commune in spirit with thosewho are lucky enough at that time tobe able to return to. the University.The exchange of telegrams amongthese meetings and the receipt of ,,111es:..sages from them at the general meet­ing in Chicago will do, something defi­nite towards solidarity. This idea ofa Chicago Night, so designated andChicagoNight278 THE UNIVER$ITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEobserved by all our representatives, isone which has already been taken upby various other institutions and whichChicago ought to' profit by. It is infact rather strange that it has not beenput through before; and, although thenotice this year is somewhat short, un­doubtedly a beginning can be madewhich will shortly work out in some­thing big and effective.An article elsewhere in this issueof the magazine endeavors to makeclear what is nowbeing done at theUniversity in con­nection with theproblems raised by the war. The sightof President Judson drilling with othermembers of the faculty on rainy after­noons in April, the knowledge of theimportant contributions which are nowbeing made to the work of the NationalCouncil of Research by Professor Mil­likan and others, the increase in thenumber of students, drilling from 300to' 700 in a single week, and the in­creased number of letters which pourin from undergraduates and alumniconcerning the best and quickest meth­ods of putting their service at the com­mand of the government, are evidenceenough, to .anyone upon the ground, ofthe position which is taken by the Uni­versity as an institution and as madeup of individuals, ill the situation whichhas been forced upon us. The ques­tion of what each individual ought todo is not one that can at the momentbe definitely answered. The plans ofthe government, for example, in con­nection with the Reserve Officers'Training Corps are not at the momentof writing quite certain. Presumablyon May, 15 all college men, graduatesand undergraduates, who are _ overtwenty-one, who so desire, may havean opportunity to' go to Fort Sheridanfor three months' intensive training inorder to fit themselves in giving as­sistance in the training of others. In-AtWar formation concerning the TrainingCorps may, however, by the time thisissue of the MAGAZINE is printed, un­doubtedly be secured by applicationeither directly to' Major Bell or to theALUMNI Office. The question of the, immediate enlistment of undergradu­ates is one which is, of course, con­stantly debated.' The consensus ofopinion seems. to be that unless Presi­dent Wilson issues a' call for volun­teers, which will give the men an op­portunity to enlist in local units, theywill be wiser to continue in their workat college and their military traininghere. Some objection has been offeredto the tarrying out of the regular pro­gram of intercollegiate athletics. Itshould be noted that every man in com­petitive athletics is, also, engaged inmilitary drill and that, as Mr. Staggsays, his physical fitness is a matterof as much importance as anythingelse in connection with his preparation.It is probably not too much to saythat the overwhelming opinion of theUniversity is in favor of selective' con­scription. But, if volunteers are calledfor instead, the alumni need not ques­tion the response of the undergraduatesor of the faculty.The following resolutions wereadopted by the University of Chicago. Alumni Club atAlumni Club its meeting .onResolutions Apr i 1 16th, a tw h i c h 154 menwere present:Whereas" The United States of Americais at war with the Imperial German Gov­ernment; andWhereas, -Tt is the duty of the UnitedStates of America to utilize every forceavailable for the prosecution of this war toa successful conclusion; andWhereas, The entire strength of theUnited States of American cannot be fairlyand effectively utilized except under a sys­tem of universal liability for training andservice; now, therefore, be it "Resolved, That we, the University ofChicago Alumni Club" representing theAlumni eft the University of Chicago of themiddle. west, in, meeting, .assembled, doEVENTS AND DISCUSSION,hereby call upon our government, the Presi­ident and the, Congress of the United Statesand particularly' the senators 'and congress­men representing the State of Illinois, toenact without further delay legislationwhich will immediately result 'in puttinginto effective ' operation throughout theUnited States and its territories a systemof universal, compulsory military trainingand 'service.Two recent appeals. to alumni forfunds for' different aspects of war re­lief work have metwith immediateresponse, The firstwas the campaignto raise -money for the, work of theYoung Men's Christian Association inconnection with the war. On April21st the fund collected from the Uni­versity alumni, faculty, and studentshad reached $5,351.00, with many sub­scribers still to be heard from, Onthe same date the fund for the 'purchaseof an ambulance for the American FieldService in France passed the $1,6OQ,OOmark which had been set. Of thisamount about $1,200.00 was; raisedamong the faculty and students, andabout $400.00 from thirty alumni, insums ranging 'from $5.00 to $25.00. Acomplete list of the alumni contributorsto this ambulance fund will be pub­lished in the June issue. Meanwhile,it may be said- that from the compara­tively few who are directly appealed'to ,t�e response was extraordinarilyprompt and the letters which accom­panied ,the checks gave every evidencethat the desire and the power to helpout in plans initiated by the Universitywere equally notable. �WarFUndsMuch of the vacant land owned -bythe Univer.sity along the Midway is to-be offered in smallplots : for cultiva­tion to members ofthe facqlty' 'andthe: administration for gardening pur-­poses. The ground is offered withoutcharge, but:' with the understandingthat all expense in connection, with itsUniversity,Gardens 279use shall be borne by the persons usingit. It is, given out with the under­standing that those who undertake tocultivate it will continue the workthrough the season, the University as­suming no responsibility for cultiva­tion. The size.of the areas allotted willdepend upon the number of applica­tions, but it is estimated that at leastone hundred _plots can be provided.Members of the Department of Botanywill make, a preliminary test of thesoils and determine .for what productthey are best suited. Any alumni in-, terested should inquire of Superintend­ent R W. Rouse in the Press BUilding.The revolution in Russia had an in­dividual interest for the Universitybecause ProfessorMiliukov, nowMinister of For­eign Affairs, wasfifteen years ago, for -a short time,a member of the Universityfaculty, Ata mass meeting on 'April 11th, whichwas addressed by- President -J udson, .acommittee was appointed to draw upa set of resolutions, which were subse­quently cabled to Minister Miliukov atPetrograd, The resolutions follow :WHEREAS, Professor Paul Miliukov onthe occasion of his residence in the UnitedStates was a colleague and teacher at the Uni­versity of Chicago, and hence our interest inthe new Russia is made more personal;'RESOLVED (1) That we requestthePresi­dent of the University to transmit to ProfessorMiliukov, on our behalf, t4e congratulations orthe University on the' recent triumph of thereal democratic Russia. 'RESOLVED (2) That we congratulate Pro­fessor Miliukov personally on being so instru­mental in the achievement of the ideals whichhe' presented to us so attractively fifteen yearsago. The moderation, patience and unity thatcharacterizes -the new order which has beenestablished will, guarantee its; permanent sue-Russia andthe Universityc:ess.'RESOLVED (3) That we, congr-atulate our­selves, as citizens of an older republic, that wecan "now give material as well as moral supportto the common cause of democracy, in whoseultimate triumph throughout the' entire world, we profoundly believe.Assistant Professor Samuel Harper,'02, who probably .understands the280 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINERussian situation as clearly as anyAmerican can· understand it, expresseshis attitude toward the revolution inanother message which he proposedthat the United States should send toRussia officially:"'The new Government in Russia will bringRussia through to final victory. We have comein to help defeat Germany. For the momentwe can give only moral and financial assist­ance. But soon we shall take a more activeshare. Keep on fighting. We shall soon be atyour side-s-for Germany must be defeated, andthere will be no hesitancy at any point, no mat­ter what temporary reverses are suffered, untilthe common task is accomplished."The suggestion is made. to alumnithat when they want information on anything connect­ed with the Uni­versity they applydirectly ,tot h eALUMNI Office. The Office will ar­range to get the information fromwhatever department is concerned andforward it immediately. In this con­nection it may again be pointed outthat alumni who may wish to takeyoung men or women into their em­ployment may, also, apply to theALUMNI Office for suggestions. I� isthe hope of the office, ultimately at anyrate, to make itself of some real ser­vice in such matters, and it invites yourcooperation.Use theOffice!Somewhere In FranceContinued from the April Issue 'This particular post is about a mileand a quarter from the enemy and aswar goes, is considered· very "tran­quille." The past two or three dayshave been pretty cold-I should guess,ten or fifteen above zero, but there isplenty of wood, so that one can keepwarm. I am here for two days. Gen­erally we take care of our own cuisine,but as we have just reached our newlocation, I am boarding with the poi­lus. I went down the hillside at eleveno'clock and found the kitchen in' itshole in the side of the hill alongsidemany other holes. The cooking is,done on a very large stove on twowheels. The poilus eat at eleven a. m.,they call it "la soup." There I was,elbowing a lot of poilus with a cup­ful of soup in one hand and a hunkof army bread in the other, steppingabout to keep warm and to knock thesnow off my feet. Besides soup wehad meat, coffee and "pinar" (the uni­versal 'name of the poilu for wine). Idon't care for "pinar," but 'one old duf­fer insisted that I should" drink it withhim. I did and it nearly froze me. It happened that the fellows I "dined"with today have not seen our sectionbefore, and I judge from their thous­and and one questions they thoughtI was a rare bird. To begin with Iannounced what I have announced amillion times before, since I have beenwith the French army-that we arenot English. Then followed suchqueries as these: "Do you come fromSouth or North America?" "Is Can­ada in the United States?" �'Why didyou come?" "How long do you thinkthe war will last?" "Are you beingpaid for your work?"Having finished "la soup,' I movedup thirty yards to another hole wherea coiffeur had his bunk. I hadn't .hada shave for a week and I knew" if Ilooked about I could find a poilu whowas a coiffeur in Paris, "avant laguerre." I never' have found a bunchof poilus who didn't have a memberwho had been a coiffeur in Paris beforethe war. While I sat on a bench gaz­ing out at endless barb wire entangle­ments at the foot of the hill and be­yond, he busied himself pulling simi-SOMEWHERE IN FRANCElar entanglements out of my face. Lestwe forget, now and then a shell wouldhurry along. They were "ours." Ihaven't heard any arriuees today.But I am clear ahead of my story.When I concluded the other day wewere in ----. In the morning Itook a hurried look in the cathedral.It was several centuries old but theyare still building on it. I find it ischaracteristic of cathedrals in France,that it takes about five hundred yearsto build one. I also took a peep at thechapel which is in the rear of the ca­thedral, and which was built in thethirteenth century; and a hurried lookat an embankment built along thecanal by the Romans. In the villageare several large mills which utilizethe current as a power producer. Atthis point the Marne is a 'considerableriver and bridges connect these millswith either side of the river. Duringtheir furthest advance the Germans gotinto the edge of this city, and beforeleaving, the French destroyed thesebridges. Most of them are now re­paired, I was much interested againin watching the women wash clothes.On the edge of the river were longhouses, perhaps a hundred feet longfloating on the water. Here were sev­eral dozen women washing. At --­I saw the same thing along a canal.* * *Fr01;11 our starting point (which Imust not tell) to --- we had novery unusual experiences. We passedthrough the largest aviation field inFrance, where we stopped and talkedto some American aviators and wherewe watched many machines come andgo. Not having had breakfast whenwe left our starting point, we stoppedabout 9 :30 a. m. and went into a so­called cafe and drank' coffee andgnawed off a hunk of army breadwhich had been issued to us beforestarting. It was a cold ride that daybut an interesting one. One section isdivided .into two squads and there isconsiderable rivalry when "en convoy," 281to. see which one can keep its cars go­ing most. Ford automobiles over here, have practically the same natures anddispositions as at home. They havea habit of getting out of fix and re­fusing to start on cold mornings. If"en convoy" 'one has trouble, the restcontinue on their journey, while inthe rear are our chief and mechanician.But don't think, because we have acouple of mechanicians, they do allthe work. Not quite. I have neverworked so much on a machine as Ihave here. Our mechanicians, onlygive advice and do the big jobs.I meant to say that in -" --, theother evening, I had a bath, a hotbath. That is an event quite worthyof mention, for I had not had one be­fore for a month. To sleep in a bedagain between sheets seems like adream quite beyond actual attainment.I sleep in my clothes so much that Ihardly ever see any of myself but myhands.When we left --- the othermorning it was cold and clear-thefirst sunny day we had seen' for amonth. We always drain our radia­tors of evenings to prevert t freezing,but on the road that morning I hadsome radiator trouble which took mea half hour to get rid of. I didn'tcatch up with the convoy until abouttwo o'clock, when I found them in acafe at ---, a beautiful little cityon the Marne. I had been down thevalley of the Marne on the train butnever by auto before. It is beautifulbeyond description. It lies in a valleyabout the same size and clearness asthe Sacramento-no muddy bottom;and it winds in and out like the Sac­ramento, too. After driving all after­noon we arrived at --- where wespent the night (and a cold one) atthe barracks of the regular army intrue poilu fashion, on the floor. Thatnight we scattered about and got oursuppers. 'We went to' no shows. andwe didn't loiter about the streets.When we were away over. in the282 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEother section in December the regi­mental bands used to give concertsevery afternoon, at three, in front 00£a chateau. The band stood up, andcrowded near were" several hundredpoilus also standing (there was noplace to sit). One day the band playedthe, national 'hymns of all the allies,and seeing some of us there it playedours-a pretty compliment 1 thought.With these bands they generally havea dozen trumpeters called the fanfare.If 1 don't particularly care for theirmusic, they are funny in the waythey throw their trumpets around.The band always closes with the Mar­seillaise. 1 find, however, that thepoilus don't go wild over the Marseil­laise; it means serious business tothem. If one wants to make himselfunpopular he can do so if at a cafe,where they are singing, he asks forthe Marseillaise. 1 have seen it provedmore than once.I must close for this evening. Theabris is fairly warm and the bunklooks inviting. When it comes toroughing it the poilus have not gotmuch on us. At this post I cannotdrive with lights, the road is narrowand very pr-ecipitous in places. A gasmask and helmet are necessary and itis cold, all of which 1 believe you willagree with me are reasons enough forhoping there are not many malades orblesses ,tonight. Every time I hear acannon, since I have been writing this"I am wondering if anybody waswounded.Later : Well, this is another morn­ing after the night before. I didn'thave to. make a single trip last night,for which I was duly thankful. Notmuch cannonading-c-an occasional ma­chine ',gun, which sounds like a' woodpeeker hammering when he, is boringinto a tree._ This morning, before daylight, agood poilu came around with a canvasbucket and gave each of us a cup ofblack coffee before we were up. Such luxury I am not used to and I amafraid it will spoil me. Since comingup here 1 have had some difficulty inunderstanding these poilus, and 1 wasinclined to be discouraged with myprogress in French, but I know thereason now. This outfit is from the"midi" of France, in and around Tou­louse, and they tell me they speak apatois. I believe it, for it is an awfulbrand of French. Six of them arehere in the abris with me, one of thema great big ugly stiff with a red nose.They have nicknamed him "Mignon,"(French for "Little Darling") � It, isnow 8 :30 a. m., and I am sitting bythe fire while my friends are out chop-ping wood. -Later: I intended to close this effu­sion, but 1 will add a little more. TheGermans have been 'pretty busy shell­ing a battery very near here ,for two.or three hours, and the shells havebeen "bustin'" at a lively rate. Itdoesn't seem to be so "tranquille" hereafter all, but still there is not much todo.* * *This has been a beautiful sunny day,just cold enough for brisk walking.The "boyau" leading to the -trenchesgoes right out' of the door here. The"boyau" is a trench from five to. sixfeet deep and from three to five feetwide, leading to the trenches. It isjust like an excavation for a sewer.From here on a straight line to theGerman lines it is less than amile, butthe way the "boyau" runs it, is twicethat. The head officer, a very pleasantfellow, gave me permissionto visitthetrenches, so after eleven o'clock soupthis morning, 1 made a personally con­ducted tour of the trenches >in com­pany with a poilu friend. "1 lookedthrough a deep hole, of an observationpost and saw the enemy trenches andjust beyond, a little shattered village.within the enemy lines. We' went tothe furthest observation post where weDEPARTMENT OF EDUCATIONhad to tiptoe, and talk in whispers so.the Germans couldn't hear us-theywere so close. I saw acres of wireentanglements; and new traps forcatching the enemy, stations for throw­ing hand grenades and lots of ammu­nition in place ready for use.

FOREMAN, '02.The Department of EducationThe Department of Education in theUniversity of Chicago originated in alaboratory experiment. ProfessorDewey, who was at that time head ofthe department of philosophy; recog­nized the necessity of giving a demon­stration of the kind of course of studywhich he' advocated for elementaryschools and for high schools. He wascritical of the usual course of studybecause it did not _give to. children thetype of concrete material most appro­priate' for their training. He was criti-.cal also of the formal methods of in­struction. In order to inaugurate. needed reforms in schoolroom prac­tices, he organized what was knownas a laboratory school, which was con­ducted for a time outside of the Uni­versity itself. After' the College ofEducation was organized as a part ofthe University, the faculty of the Col­lege continued to emphasize the labora­tory school as one of the main featuresof the institution's organization. Thecourse of study was here. reorganizedand enriched and methods of instruc­tion were' subjects of constant discus­sion. Many radical changes that havecome· in the schools of the UnitedStates since the organization of" thislaboratory school can be traced' di- rectly to the innovations that wereworked out in this institution.The Elementary Schoof and theHigh School, as organized today, arecarrying forward the constructive workWhich was started by this earlier lab­oratory school. Courses of study innatural science, in mathematics, in his­tory, and in handiwork, have all ofthem been worked out, and are appear­ing from time to time in the SchoolReview} the Elementary School Journal,and in Supplementary EducationalMonographs edited by the School ofEducation.' In a number of cases, thesecourses of study have been embodiedin textbooks which are at the presenttime widely used.' Perhaps the mostfar-reaching' of these experiments is thereorganization of algebra,' geometry,and trigonometry, 'into a 'combinationhigh-school course in mathematics.e •The various detailed experimentswhich have thus been carried out bythe laboratory school have resulted. inone very significant general change inthe' organization of the schools. - Itwas found that the course of study inthe high school. duplicated in somemeasure the work of the elementaryschool. Furthermore, it was· foundthat the methods of the two schools284 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEcould be so improved as to save a yearfor the pupils going through theseschools. For the last four years therehas been no eighth grade in this labora­tory school. Children from the sev­enth grade are carried over directlyinto the first year of the high school.There is a' general moveinent in . thecountry at large which aims to reor­ganize the seventh and eighth grades'in all elementary schools. The ulti­mate result of this general movementwill be to bring many other school sys­tems to the same result that has beenachieved in the laboratory school. Acombination is being worked out be­tween the high school and the juniorcollege of the University which willultimately result in the same kind ofa combination and economy of time atthe upper end of high school. Thehigh school is at the present time work­ing under an arrangement with theUniversity whereby students who do avery high grade of work ate allowedmore credit for their high school unitsthan students who do merely the aver­age grade of work. In this way a stu­dent can economize time and can be­gin his advanced work earlier than ispossible under the ordinary type ofhigh-school organization.Not only do the schools thus con­tinue to fulfill the functions of educa­tional laboratories, but the contact ofthe School of Education with practicalschool problems has been extended .insuch a way as to bring the school intodirect relations with a number of theleading school systems of the country.There is at the present time a wide­spread effort throughout the UnitedStates to apply scientific methods ofexamination of schools to whole schoolsystems. School surveys, as they arecalled, are being made in many citieswith' a view to determining, throughtests and careful tabulations of records,the degree of success of the schoolsystem under examination. Theseschool surveys' examine "not only the efficiency of classroom work and theresults exhibited by pupils, but theyvery frequently take up in detail thefinancial organization of schools andthe possibilities of reorganizing thecourse of study and improving thebuildings in which the schools are held.The more elaborate surveys have re­quired, accordingly, the services of anumber of different members of thedepartment. Three of the largestschool surveys recently made have en­gaged the services of various membersof the department. At Cleveland themeasuring of the results of instructionin the schools was carried on in themain by members of the Departmentof Education. Professor, Judd .directedthis phase of the survey and editedthe final report. Dean Gray tested :thereading. Dr. Counts, now professorof Education in the University of Dela­ware, worked up the material on arith­metic. Mr. Gonnelly, an instructor inthe department, prepared the materialon the secondary schools. ProfessorBobbitt, in the same survey, wrote aspecial report on the course of study.The surveys of Grand Rapids, Mich.,and St. Louis, MOo., were organized bythe department and included studiesnot only of the type above describedfor Cleveland, but also surveys of thefinancial systems by Professor Rugg,of the handwriting by Professor Free­man, and of the instruction in musicby Mr. Cragun. The advantage of thiskind of contact with school systems istwofold. It gives the members of thedepartment an opportunity to carryover, through the recommendations.made in surveys, the results of organ­ization and measurement which wereoriginally developed in the School ofEducation itself. But more than this,it brings the members of the depart­ment into. contact with the practicalschool situation under conditions thatare very much more general than thosewhich can be -set up in a la-boratoryschool.DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 285The School of Education from the MidwayWith this enlargement of the orig­inal' idea of working on educationalproblems in a practical way, the Schoolof Education is able to demonstratenot only the possibilities of a scientificstudy of education but also the appli­cability of results thus secured to prac­tical situations throughout the coun­try. A recent interesting example ofthe way in which the survey move­ment is likely to develop into speciallines is shown in the fact that themembers of the kindergarten depart­ment, Miss Temple and Miss Martin,have been called on to make a sys­tematic survey of the kindergartens inRichmond, Indiana. The probabilitiesare that in the future general schoolsurveys will give way to departmentalsurveys, and specialists in particularlines of school organization will un­doubtedly be called on to extend intoall of the school systems of the countrythe results of carefully worked outmethods and organizations that origi­nated in the laboratory schools. There are at the present time in theSchool of Education a large numberof graduate students who are broughtinto direct contact with the methodsand results of these laboratory investi­gations. The importance to the graduatedepartment of the laboratory schoolscannot be overemphasized. The sci­ence of education is no longer taughtin a purely theoretical way, as it wasoriginally in schools and colleges,through the history of education orthrough theoretical courses in generalprinciples; it is, rather, an empiricalscience based on actual contact withschool conditions. The motive whichled to the establishment of graduatework in education can be described inthe same terms that are applied to anyother type of scientific investigation.The results of recent studies made byadvanced students will be recognizedfrom the- titles of the recent Doctors'theses. Studies in Elementary SchoolReading through Standardized Tests is286 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEone such title Experimental StudiesinElementary Reading, Tests in Arithme­tic, An Examination of Unit Courses, inHigh Schools, A Study of the Histori­cal Development of School Legislationin Various States, and other titles ofthis sort, indicate the strictly empiricalcharacter of the research which is goingon in the Department of Education.During the last two years the facili­ties for productive research have beengreatly increased. In the first place,the material equipment. of the experi­mental laboratories has been improvedand' enlarged, thus making it possibleto carryon intensive investigations in connection, with a- wider variety ofproblems than' has. been possible in thepast. In the second place, provisionhas recently been made for a seriesof Supplementary Educational Mono­graphs to be edited in conjunction withthe School Review and the ElementarySchool Journal. These monographsmake it possible to give wide publicityfrom time to time ,to the results. ofmany of the investigations which .theSchool of Education has under its di­rection.w. S� G�AY,Ph.

Prof. Millikan of the Department ofPhysics is now in Washington, engaged inthe work of a national committee on re­search in connection with military neces­sities, and Prof. Kinsley goes shortly toassist in the development of the govern­merit wireless. The process of organiza­tion of the resources of the U niversity forassistance in war is going on in charge ofa committee headed by Prof. Stieglitz, butaction is not yet sufficiently complete forannouncement. The question of the organ­ization of special classes for students lead­ing to scientific service in war problems isalso 'under discussion, but of that matteralso no anouncement can yet be made.In the second week of April a question­naire was sent to every member of the fac­ulty asking information concerning theircapacity for individual service to the gov­ernment and their willingness to leave theirpresent work and undertake such servicein case of call. The questionnaire suggest­ed" perhaps unfortunately, only a few pos­sible' Iines of work, but response to it wasimmediate and full. A similar questionnaireis, to be sent to all alumni of the Universityat. once.: 'The actual - military drill under the gen- ,eralcharge. of Major- Bell now engages theattention . of about 650 students.v. Drill classes meet at 10 :45, 1 :30, 4 :00 .and 4 :30,as well as on Saturday morning. All stud ...ents enrolled drill for a minimum of threehours a week, but many, as officers, putin much more time than that. The drillsquads are in charge of petty officers, ap­pointed from among those who have hadservice either in schools giving militarytraining, in the National Guard, or atPlattsburg and similar camps. Many ofthe students are registered for militarydrill only. Many others are registered fordrill and also for study of tactics, campsanitation, personal hygiene and corollarymatters. Lectures on these subjects aregiven at two different hours on Monday,and on Friday afternoon. Attendance onthese lectures plus, military drill gives amajor's credit, which counts towards grad­uation, but without grade points. Uniformsand guns for these squads. have not yetbeen received, but are expected. Aboutfif-ty-five members of the faculty are alsodrilling; soine of them, especially those whoare engaged in the individual study of tac­tics, as much as riine or ten hours a week.On April 16th the Chicago Alumni Clubmet at the LaSalle· Hotel to consider 'theorganization of a University of' Chicago. alumni training battalion, to arrange fortraining classes' for men unable. to do activeservice, and to arrange for alumni trainingclasses. One - hundred and fifty-four werepresent at this meetipg,: which was pre-'sided over by Walter Gregory, ,'05. Atthis meeting it was decided to .hold train.,.ing classes on ' Tuesday and Thursdaynights at Bartlett Gymnasium from 7,:30 to9 :30 On the fourth. of: these drill 'nights,April 20th, more than -:�oo alumni appeared.I t was necessary, therefore, to handle mostUNIVERSITY AND THE WARof them on Stagg Field.

Thealumni drill is in general charge of MajorBell, but the various squads' are handled asamong the undergraduates, by petty officersqualified :to some extent by previous train­ing of 'one sort or another. By June 9th,it is expected 'that, 500 or 600 alumni willbe drilling regularly and their evolutionswill in all probability be a part of the ex­ercises of Alumni Day. All alumni inter­ested are urged to undertake this drill 'atany time. Fresh squads / will be formedconstantly as the numbers increase.. Forsome time at any rate uniforms will notbe necessary..Actual enlistment among the undergrad­uates is not general, and until the situationchanges, .it is thought will not be. Else­where in this issue we quote the, sugges­tion of General Leonard Wood to Prince­ton undergraduates that they refrain fromenlisting at the present time. College menwho can get military training will, it isthought, be of more . value in the near futureas assistants in the training of armies thatmust be raised, than by iminediate enlist­ment in the ranks, either of the NationalGuard or the regular army. The desire' onthe part of the students also to enlist in alocal unit which will give 'them a chanceto serve - with their friends and acquaint­ances rather than' as individuals lost in 'theranks, .is . very evident. A considerablenumber' of undergraduates are enlisting orapplying ,for admission to the variousbranches of the' service. A number of med­ical and premedical students are forminghospital units.

This change of plan, which isstated to inv-olve leaving, college at onceand training at' Fort Sheridan, is not yetfully understood, and its results cannot bepredicted. � No formal announcement hasbeen made concerning the giving of', dip­lomas to seniors � who leave college at thepresent time, nor the amount of credit, ifany, ' which. will be given .to other, under­graduates who enlist. In individual .cases,however, the University has' signified its 287willingness to grant the degree to seniorsw�o are called on their 'milit(lry-' service to�te�y�, college now, and �A��[:'whole problemof credit has 'been referred with power to� committee of seven, pf which Maj.

Those who pursue it willbe open to membership in the Reserve Offi­cers' Training Corps, and its aim is toqualify students to perform intelligently theduties of commissioned officers' in the mili­tary forces of the United States in time' ofnational emergency. .The regulations of the War Departmentprovide, - that membership, in the ReserveOfficers' "Training Corps is limited to cit­izens of the United States, and that thetraining shall consist of at least two, hoursof practical and one hour of theoreticalwork per ,week during the Freshman andSophomore years (basic course), and ofthree hours of practical and two hours oftheoretical work per week' during the J un­ior and Senior years (advanced course).I t is further provided that any- studenthaving 18 majors of, credit who has com­pleted the basic course (or its equivalent),"who has been selected for further mili­tary training by the President of the Uni­versity - 'and the 'Professor of MilitaryScience and Tactics, and. who executes aspecified. written. agr-eement, will be: enti­tled, while not subsisted in kind, to thecommutation of subsistence, fixed by theSecretary o f- War, in accordance 'with law"(about $9.00 _ per month).An interesting aspect of the work at theUniversity is the organization of thewomen.

Classes, undergrad­uate activities and athletics are' going onas usual. There was a considerable discus­sion over the advisability of giving theBlackfriars performance as usual in ' thefirst and second week of May, but as indi­cated elsewhere in this issue, it was thoughtbest 10 go on with it. At a meeting of theBoard of Physical culture and Athletics onApril 14th, the question of the continuationof intercollegiate athletics was left for' in­vestigation and report to a 'committee con­sisting of Dean Small, Mr. Stagg, and Prof., Gale, who is chairman of the committee ingeneral charge of military training in theUniversity. This committee decided thatfor the present, at all events, athletics shouldbe continued as usual with the understand­ing, however, that all meri in athletics should'engage also in military training; which, ofcourse, most of them had already under­taken. The only active' notice taken of thecrisis by the Undergraduate Council, so faras announcement has been made, was topass a resolution to provide colors for theUniversity battalion. as soon as its organ­ization was complete.Alumni may rest content in the realiza­tion that the University is, as this resumeshould show, awake to the conditions whichconfront us, and earnestly desirous, from'President Judson down to the most recentlyentered freshman, of doing its part.Professor Julius StieglitzThe Magazine recorded in the March is­sue the fact that Prof. Julius Stieglitz, headof the Department of Chemistry, has beenelected President of the American ChemicalSociety. Associate Professor Harkins ofthe Department of Chemistry had in theJournal of Industrial and EngineeringChemistry for February an account of the'life and personality of Dr. Stieglitz, fromwhich the following extracts are taken:Julius Stieglitz is not only one of the mosteminent organic chemists. in the country, but is also one of its authorities .on the applica­tion of physical chemistry in the teachingof analytical chemistry. For many yearshe has been very closely associated withthe chemical society, as chairman of theChicago Section, Councilor-at-Large, Asso­ciate Editor of the Journal, and Chairmanof the Chemical Section of the AinericanAssociation for the Advancement of Sci­ence. He was a member, of' the committeeon the revision of the constitution of theSociety in 1912, and chairman of the com-, PROFESSOR JULIUS STIEGLIT.Z 289mittee which did such painstaking worklast year in the settlement of the Allyncase, ,in which. the question of pure foodregulation was involved.. Dr. -Stieglitz was born in Hoboken, NewJersey, May 26, 1867� When ready for. col­lege he took the entrance examinations forthe College of the City of New York, butdid not enter there. He went to Germanyinstead and was educated in Karlsruhe, andat the Universities of Berlin and Goettingen,where his work was done with A. W. Hof­mann, Tiemann, an,d Victor Meyer. In histhesis he developed ideas which were quitenew to Tiemann and. found so many pointsin his work for whichtheexplanations givenat that time by 'chemists were .unsatisfac­tory, that it has kept him, busy ever sinceto develop more satisfactory theories inregard to them. Thus his whole work hasproceeded in logical sequence, and hasgrown somewhat as a tree grows, keepingevery part properly correlated to the others.Dr, Stieglitz is a· member of the N a­tional Academy of Scien-ces, the AmericanAcademy of Arts and Sciences, the Wash­ington Academy of Sciences, and of manyother scientific' societies. He .. has beenelected president for 1917 of the ScientificResearch Society, Sigma XLIn the University of Chicago, where hehas worked for twenty-five years, Dr. Stieg­Iitz has advanced from Docent to Chair­man of the Department of Chemistry 'aridDirector of the Laboratories of the Uni­versity. His, ability as an administratorwas particularly apparent in his influenceupon the 'organization of- the medical work,which was so helpful that President Harper,who considered this a ·turning point in thehistory of the University, stated that noone could estimate the value of his serv­.ices. His, reputation as' a teacher is sowidely recognized that Slosson, in his bookon "Great American U niversities," states:"Pr:ofessor Stieglitz is one of those veryrare individuals who have an equal masteryof the laboratory and of. the lecture room,arid who �are able to direct research and ele­mentary students- at the same time withoutneglecting either."His acceptance of his first appointment inhis university was characteristic of the man,for he came .as docent at' the. request ofProfessor N ef on a salary: of "nothing ayear," because he recognized that the newuniversity would be of the highest typeand he saw the possibility of a career inscience. In beginning his work in the universityhe 'set before himself three things to beaccomplished; first, to teach w.ell; second,to do as much and as good research workas possible; and, third, to be of some helpin the general development of the university.The combination of these three aims hasmade his services of extreme value.A very large" part of his time is spentin looking after the welfare of the students,from freshmen up to men who took theirPh.D. ten or more years ago" to see thateveryone is done justice, to make sure thatthe money available for helping students� goes to the most deserving, to remove asmuch as possible the retarding 'effects ofred tape in university administration upon,the progress of the student, and to makesure that those' who have left the universityget as much advancement in their work ashe is able to obtain for them. This per­sonal interest the students recognized whenthey presented him with a memorial to. showtheir appreciation of his work as leader ofthe movement in the faculty to modernizethe curriculum, and to remove the prescrip­tion, of Latin for all science students, whichserved as a bar to' their progress. LastJune, at, the Quarter-Centennial of thefounding -of the University of Chicago, theDoctors of Philosophy of the Departmentpresented him' with a loving cup in recogni­tion of' his great services in their behalf.One of .his cherished plans for- his depart­ment just, at present is the development inif Qf work in industrial chemistry, ,and thedepartmental faculty has recommended tothe trustees the establishment of a chairo{)�!i�,strial' chemistry. .: " For recreation he plays golf; which heenjoys, and .he also recognizes. that his out­put of work' is increased by using a 'part ofhis, time in this way.

Decision to this effect has beenapproved of, both by the alumni trust com­mittee and by President Judson. In thechorus of thirty men, twenty-one are ac­tively engaged in thernilitary training workat the University, a much higher percentagethan the undergraduate body shows as awhole. Among these chorus men are twofirst lieutenants, one second. lieutenant, twofirst sergeants, two sergeants, and threecorporals. The Friars announce that inspite of the high cost of living and thehigher cost of show producing, tickets re­main at the usual prices, 50 cents to $1.50;they may be ordered by the alumni by mail.The Annual Interfraternity Sing will beheld in Hutchinson Court on Friday, June8, at 8 p. m. sharp.The eighteen fraternities and two houseswill consecutively march down into thesunken garden from the southeast corner ofthe court while singing a marching song,repeating the chorus till they are in place.They will then sing another of their songsand, after completing that, will march out ofthe garden by the northwest steps, beinglimited to one verse of their marching songon the way out. The order of appearancewill be decided by lot, and programs willbe printed containing the order of appear­ance and the names of the songs of eachfraternity. The committee in charge willrequire all organizations to send in thenames and tunes of the songs they expectto use, and conflicts of tunes be avoidedas much as possible.More elaborate arrangements will bemade than last year. Colored lights willbe strung in the branches of the treesaround Hutchinson Court; bleachers willbe set up on the south and west sides ofthe court, and approximately 500 chairs willbe placed in the hollow; as each fraternitymarches into the circle, its name will ap­pear on a screen hung in front of the sec­ond story of the Botany building, separateslides to be made for each fraternity andturned over to the council for future use;at the same time the name of the fraternitywill be announced from above the hallwayleading into Mandel. Each fraternity willbe allowed six minutes time; an intermis­sion will occur after the tenth number; andthe program will be closed by "C" men,undergraduates and alumni, who will marchinto the circle and sing the Alma Mater.The eighth annual Interclass Hop willtake place May 29, in Bartlett.

A steel ornamentaltower, forty feet high, has recently beenconstructed on the stone tower of Rosen­wald Hall to provide a more suitable ex­posure for the wind instruments, experi­ments having shown that the towers of theHarper Memorial Library interfered con­siderably with the movement of the air.Ideal conditions for these instruments havenow been secured..The station, when completed, is expectedto be the finest weather observatory in thecountry outside of the city of Washington.The records of temperature, humidity, andrainfall are now being made in an openspace west of Ellis avenue, but an orna­mental shelter for the instruments record­ing these conditions is soon to be installedin the inclosure south of Rosenwald Halland Walker Museum. Thermometers, ther­rnographs, hygrographs, anernoscope, Rob­inson anemometer, barometers, barograph,rain gauge, and sunshine recorder are al­ready in operation. The tele-thermographand tele-thermoscope to be placed in thenew -thermometer shelter will have record­ing mechanism in the Observatory throughelectrical connections. Soil thermometerswill also be installed to measure the vary­ing temperature of the soil at differentdepths, with special reference to frost con­ditions. A polestar recorder will recordthe clearness of the atmosphere at night,supplementing the record made by the sun­shine recorder in the daytime, An evap­orimeter of some sort is also to be pro­vided. A Dynes pressure anemometer, tobe located on the top of the steel towerwith recording attachment in the Observa­tory below, an-d a seismograph to recordthe intensity of earthquakes which is to beplaced upon the concrete pier in the base­ment of Rosenwald Hall, were orderedfrom the manufacturer in England nearly ayear ago, but their delivery has been de­layed by the war.The observer, Mr. Robert M. Dole, hasbeen detailed by Professor Henry J. Cox,of the Weather Bureau, to take directcharge of the Observatory.Final construction of the University wire­less plant has been temporarily postponed 291on account of war conditions. The aerialsare ready. to hoist and the completion ofthe structure will require only a day's work,but a license will be required before theplant may be put into operation; and thegovernment, since the outbreak of war dec­laration, has closed up all unofficial wire­less stations and refused to issue licensesfor any new stations, whether official or not.At present the plant is complete exceptfor one piece of transmitting machinery.Professor Ludwig Hektoen, head of theDepartment of Pathology, has been ap­pointed Cutter Lecturer for 1917 at Har­vard University. The general subject ofthe Cutter lectures is "Preventative Medi­cine and Hygiene." Prof. Hektoen, whohas been connected with the Universitysince its foundation, has been for a num­ber of years a director of the Memorial In­stitute for Infectious Diseases, and editorof The Journal of Infectious Diseases. Hehas been President of the American Asso­ciation of Pathologists and Bacteriologists,and Vice-President of the American Asso­ciation for the Advancement of Science.President' Judson has been appointed amember of the Labor committee of the ad­visory board of the Council of National De­fense, at the invitation of Samuel Gompers,President of the American Federation ofLabor. Mr. Gompers is chairman of thecommittee, officially known as the Commit­tee on Labor, Conservation of Health andthe Welfare of Workers. The AdvisoryBoard of the Council of National Defenseformed at. a recent session of Congress'is composed of seven men, each the headof a committee devoted to some form ofpreparedness. The Council of National De­fense is made up of the Secretaries of War�the Navy, the Inferior,.

All thelectures were held at seven o'clock in Man­del, an hour chosen not to interfere with classes or study and particularly convenientfor those taking military drill. The lec­tures and their subjects were as follows:April 25-President Judson on "TheThreat of German World Politics."April 26-Professor A. C. McLaughlin,head of the Department: of History; on"From Spectator to Participant."April 27-D�. A. P.

An account-of that meeting wasgiven in the last number of the Magazine.Meetings of groups from time to time afterthat date resulted in the formation of tenta­tive plans for Alumni Day, with the resultthat by the time the Reunion Committee,under the direction of Roy D. Keehn, '02,held its first meeting the outline for theReunion was fairly clear.The most notable development of theClass Organizations Committee's work werethe formation of groups of Classes, par­ticularly those from '93 to '00; and from'01 to '05. Representatives from thoseClasses held meetings, one under the di­rection of Miss Josephine Allin and theother under the direction of Ernest E.Quantrell; and decided to erect, as theirReunion Centers, a reproduction of theShanty formerly managed by Mrs. Ingham,and the old Gymnasium. These ideas werepr.esented at the second general meetingof the Class Organizations Committee, heldMarch 31, and from them was evolved theidea of centering the entire Reunion arounda large tent, to be erected in the "Circle"in front of Ryerson. The Classes holdingspecial Reunions this year, such as '97 and­'02, were to act as hosts at their respectivemeeting places, and be responsible for themanagement of the Reunion of the group,paying particular' a tten tion, of course, totheir -own Classes.A week later Helen Sunny McKibbin, '08,called a meeting of her group chairmen anda program was drawn up, planning to favorthe group idea as much as possible. DrJohn E. Rhodes, '76, was present to reportfrom the Alumni of the Old University, andat his suggestion, a committee was named to call the attention of graduates of theOld University to the coming Reunion, andto urge them to be present if possible.Alumni of the Old University will be en­couraged more, than formerly, to share inall Alumni affairs and will be given specialattention in the personal columns of theMagazine.With all these preliminary suggestions athand, Mr. Keehn's Reunion CommitteeMeeting on April 6 was held. The follow­ing sub-committe.es were appointed: Fi­nance Committee-Stacy C. Mosser, '97,Chairman; Sing and Parade-Co F. Axelson,'07; Program-Lawrence J. MacGregor, '16;Publicity-e-Raymond J. Daly, '12; Vaude­ville-Frederick W. Burcky, '16; Class Or­ganizations-Mrs. Helen Sunny McKibbin,'08. It is understood that Mrs. McKibbin'scommittee has five sub-committees: Dr.Rhodes representing the Old University;Josephine T. Allin, '99, the group from '93to '00; Mr. E. E. QuantreU, from '01 to '05;W. E. Jones, '06 to '10; John Greene, from'11 to '16. The sub-chairmen on the ClassOrganizations Committee are to be re­sponsible for the individual Classes in theirgroups. At thatmeeting a definite programwas decided_ upon as follows:'l'hursday, June 76:00 "C" Dinner.Friday, June 86 :00 Fraternity Reunions.7 :30 Inter-Fraternity Sing.10 :00 Group Dances.Saturday, June 910:00 Chicago-Illinois Baseball Game.(Alumni.) "11:00 Alumnze Breakfast, Ida Noyes Hall.1 :00 General Reunion and Parade.1 :45 Conference M"eet. " .5 :30 Class Reunions, the. "Circle," .THE JUNE REUNION 2936 :30 .. Group Dinners, the "Circle."8·:00 General Announcements.8 :30 Vaudeville.The outstanding feature of the programis the fact that all the events were to becentered around the Alumni Tent in themiddle of the quadrangles. A sketch wasmade of the Shanty and an estimate ob­tained on its cost. A bid was secured forthe large tent andthe smaller tents at whichthe later Classes were to gather, and every­thing was ready' for the most elaborateAlumni celebration, with the exception ofthat of last year that we have ever had.But on the same day as the Reunion Meet ...ing was meeting in Mr. Keehn's office, Pres­ident Wilson was signing a rather importantdocument in Washington, and it was notlong before affairs began to assume a ratherdifferent aspect. The Class of '02 held ameeting a week later 'and the following let­ter expresses admirably the sentiment ofthat. meeting: ' .Mr. John F. Moulds, Secretary:. At a meeting of the members of theClass of .1902, who reside in or around Chi­cago, held today, pursuant to call, we wereauthorized to say to the Alumni Counciland to the Executive Committee in chargeof the program for Alumni Day, June 9:First-That we feel, in view of the trendof National events since. we began discus-.sion of Alumni Day plans, an extremehesitancy in forwarding plans which will in­volve conspicuous display, and that we favorrestricting expenditures directly connectedwith the Reunion this year to the smallestpossible amount. If this view meets . withthe. approval of the Executive Committee,we are ready to give up our plans for aspecial booth (the "Old Gym"), and suchother "stunts" as would have' involved con­siderable expense.Second-s-We should be glad to endeavorto raise among our. classmates the amountwhich would have been necessary for thecontemplated booth, etc., and make it a classcontribution toward war relief work, sub­ject to the approval and plans of the AlumniCouncil. Unless there were objection weshould feel like giving weight to advicefrom "Captains DeSombre and. Wrightson,representatives of our Class in the RegularArmy, and from Herbert Foreman, our rep­resentative with the American AmbulanceCorps abroad. .,Third-We are ready to fall 'in with theplans for a U niversity of Chicago Alumnireserve,' now being suggested by the AlumniClub. .;__- Fourth-While we believe-as suggested'in a letter read at the meeting today from"Dave" . Robertson-that "the mobilizationofv 'O? for various national purposes" willfat better express our class sentiments. at-this time, "than tissue paper costumes andtoy balloons," we' recognize that organiza- don and unity of. action i� essential to effi­ciency, and,' therefore, _will try to take anypart assigned to us along lines either ofindividual effort or financial help.Herbert E. Fleming,. . Class President.Douglas Sutherland,Acting Secretary.I t was evident from various commentsand remarks that the sentiment expressedin the '02 letter was a general one, and soa special meeting of the Executive Com­mittee of the Council was called to discussthoroughly the whole .problem and decideupon the nature of the Reunion.At that meeting, one opinion predorn­inated. That was that the Alumni Councilwould not be justified in spending a greatdeal of money for selfish purposes at atime when there are so many worthy causesto. which contributions may be made. Itwas decided to postpone, for this year atleast, the building of the Shanty and theOld Gym., the erection of the large tentsand the Class tents, and the Parade. Itwas further decided that the expense forthe Publicity Campaign should De reducedconsiderably, and the advisability" of evendispensing with the entertainment on Satur­day evening was considered. After a thor­ough discussion, the plan finally evolvedwas as follows:The "C" Dinner will be held on Thursdaynight; and the Sing win be held on .Eridaynight as had been originally planned. TheBaseball Game with the Alumni of Illinoiswill be held at four o'clock, on Friday,rather than on Saturday morning, as here­tofore, any profits that may be made be­ing turned over to War Relief Work. Therewill be no distinct Luncheon for men onSaturday. I t is probable that some sort'of a patriotic dernonstration : will be heldon Stagg Field at the close of the' Confer­ence Meet, including demonstrations byUniversity Battalions. A general Dinnerwill be held, in Hutchinson's Commons andCafe in the evening, classes meeting. ingroups. After the' Dinner, General' An­nouncements 'will be made in- Mandel Hall,after which an entertainment will concludethe program. . .I t will be noticed from the foregoingsummary that the program has not beenmaterially changed, as far as the events areconcerned. I t will afford ample' oppor­.tunity for meeting old friends, and for en­joying a very pleasant afternoon and eve ..ning. The change that has been made isa change in tone, particularly in regard tothe objects for which money will be spent,By giving up the idea of rebuilding theShanty and the Old Gymnasium, and thetents, the classes have . economized to theextent of at least $1,000, money which maywell be spent for more serious purposes atpresent.294 THE UNIVERSITY. OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEThe Letter BoxTo the Editor: _I wonder if all the men and women ofout Alumni understand how very glad weare to see them, when they come back. Ifthey did-if they knew how much pleasuretheir returning gives to all those who livehere all the time - I wonder if theywouldn't make' a point of coming everyyear. Sometimes, of course, it is impos­sible. This year, though, we need themmore than ever. Now is a time when oldassociations suddenly grow· dearer. Weare feeling poignantly the menace of some­thing terrible. At the same time we: aregoing toward the fight which is finally toset the nations free from this, besettingdanger, not only with all our strength, butwith an ever deepening capacity within usfor great feeling. Small things are goingto be swept out of us. Memories growsweeter. Every happy ·bond of comrade­ship is going to be more. and more preciousall the time. As the next few years go by,we shall cling with a tenacity that now per­haps we "do not realize, to every good friend­ship and every loyal friend.Alma Mater is calling us together nowin various ways to serve the country's need.We rally with all the more gladness becausein every meeting' we can give the pledgeof fellowship.Plans for the annual June meeting havebeen changed from what would have madea very jolly celebration of reunion to some­thing- involving-more serious' matters. Weneed everybody at this meeting. And 'weshall all be happier to see one another againthan ever we were before, even in the daysof old! 'Agnes Cook Gale, '96.To the Editor:. Even in these days of drill and militarypreparedness, may I ask the Alumni to re­member' the June reunion, plans for which,while not' complete, warrant their returnto the Campus? Especially those Alumniof the years 18'96-1900, inclusive? Forthem originally the plans provided a realis­tic reproduction of the old "shanty," to beused as .a base of supplies. The war haschanged our plans, as it has changed manythings. But it has not altered, except asit has deepened, our spirit. May we nothave a large representation in spite of themany present responsibilities?France Anderson, '99.To the Editor:As a loyal unit of the Alumnae, may Iexpress my vivid pleasure .in hearing thatwe are to have a reunion next June? LastJune when we of the final decade of thenineteenth century came together from the various corners and ends of our continent,we asked, "Why didn't we do this before?"We found that those years we had spentside by side in our. young youth had proveda bond rather stronger than we had sus­pected. We want to renew our sense ofbelonging, and. an annual June meeting isthe obvious and satisfying solution.Faithfully yours,Maude Radford Warren, '96.To the Editor:From the indications that have come tomy notice extensive plans are well underway for the Alumni reunion in June. The·committees Care well organized and, busi­nesslike and looking towards permanent or­ganizations for annual celebrations.I suppose each year will be distinctive insome way, and I hope that this year someappropriate recognition will be made of thestate of war in which our country findsitself, and of the duty of our University andits Alumni to do their part.Y ours sincerely,Donald S. Trumbull, '97.To the Editor:I note in this last issue of the Magazinethat you state that you have not heardfrom a single Alumnus. urging the Magazineto support military training. I was amazedto read this statement, and am now writ­ing so that it cannot be· repeated. I haverecently received correspondence from sev­eral University of Chicago AI1:1mni in dif­ferent parts of the country, each one tellingof his endeavors to be useful to the coun­try and suggesting that I 'undertake similarplans in this vicinity. We' have, an .organ­ization here of fifty young 'college men whoare receiving instruction in artillery work,and several of this class are University ofChicago Alumni. We are doing also all inour power to urge compulsory military serv­ice, and especially selective conscription ..This is the special object of this letter: tourge that the Magazine endeavor to crystal­lize sentiment .among the University Alumniin favor of compulsory service in some form.I am satisfied that a great majority of themrealize the absurdity of our endeavoringto raise a sufficient army by the volunteermethod, and will join in the general crusadefor efficiency.Wiqston ;Po Henry, '10.JTo the, Editor: 4'I enclose a copy of a" resolution whichwas unanimously adopted at noon today bythe Alumni Club.The sentiment at the meeting at which154 men were present, will show, I think,WELL, LOOK WHO'S HEREbeyond a doubt, that the Alumni of the Uni­versity - of Chicago, old and young, are allof them exceedingly anxious to do theirbit. The trouble' seems to be that theydo not know what to do. Mr. Von Noeannounced the University of . Chicago . RifleClub and received a number of new mem­bers on the spot, The drill company work­ing at the University has grown every timeit has met. I imagine from the way theytalk that a large portion of the Alumni willenroll in the Alumni Battalion. In otherwords, all that they need is to be told whatto do and how to do it. That is somethingthat the individual man cannot do. You asthe custodian of the official Alumni mouth­piece of the University can give them theinformation which they want. It occursto me that the Alumni Magazine ought tohave a military department, and that itought to keep the Alumni a little more 295closely posted upon what is being done bythe University, by the Alumni and what maybe done by the individual. Many of themen had never even heard of the Officers'Reserve Corps. Many of them did notknow what it meant. These things- oughtto be explained.In this connection I call attention to thelast two numbers of the Harvard and Cor­nell Alumni publications. You will findthat these great eastern institutions haveshown us the way and that all we haveto do is to swing into line. Harvard, ofcourse, as usual is in the forefront. I amfrank to say that I am proud of the con­nection that my two brothers have hadwith these institutions. At the same timeI think that once we have started the Uni­versity of Chicago will not take a back seat.Very truly yours,Francis W. Parker, Jr., '07.Well, Look Who's Here!,/7.1/1 ,��. -l�" � =,�� _Marjorie Benton Cooke Marjorie Benton Cooke, 1899, declinedmost firnily to give the events of her' lifesince she left the university.

Raycroft, '96, head of the De­partment of Hygiene and Physical Educa­tion at Princeton University, is chairmanof the general committee in charge of Mili­tary Training at Princeton. He wrote re­cently enclosing a statement of the Prince­ton - plan and policy concerning thepresent war crisis. His letter gives aninteresting sidelight on the attitude of theeastern universities, even before war wasactually declared. He says that Prof. HenryR. Mussey of Columbia on the 30th ofMardi spoke at Princeton concerning"Armed Neutrality." To quote from theundergraduate paper, "The success of themeeting was considerably impaired l?ythe attitude of some of the professors ofthe university faculty." In other words,members of the faculty who were present soheckled the speaker that they were askedto leave the hall. Another interesting as­pect of Ray's letter was his quotation ofthe advice of General Leonard Wodd, whosays: "The men at Princeton should staywhere they are, follow their college work,and push their military instruction to thelimit. The situation has not developed tothe extent which justifies in any way theirleaving college or volunteering at the pres­ent time."J. P. White, '96, has returned to theteaching. pr-ofession.

Talkabout damning with faint praise!From a letter from W. S. Kennedy, '99,we extract the following:"I take my pen in hand to correct an itemin your fund of misinformation, the alumninotes. W. A. Gardner is not in the lumberbusiness in Superior, Wisconsin, but in thecandy business in Virginia, Minn. I foundthis out one day last summer on Lake Ver­million, about one hundred miles north ofDuluth. My host and I had taken the motorboat and gone after water about four milesto a spring. It was a very hot day and theman I was with said, 'Let's stop at Bill'sdock,' which we did over my protest. Youremember that little tow-headed Billy thatused to flash around the field about 150pounds' of lean muscle ? Well, there was aman on the dock waiting to help us land.He weighed over 200 pounds and had afringe of r.eddish hair over his ears. I wasintroduced and I said,-'How do you do, Mr.Gardner,' just like that, and - Billy, he said(for it was he), 'I used to know a Kennedydown in Chicago,' and when he turned I gotthe profile of his nose. Billy's nose has notchanged. ..:"Later, back of our island, while the restof the bunch were entertaining Mrs. Gard­ner and waiting for dinner, Billy and I wentout and sat down on the pine needles backof the shack in front of the water barrel.I forgot that Billy had lost his mop of towhair and could not get near enough to theground in a flying tackle to hit the manbelow the' hip-pads; and Billy also forgot alot of things. We talked it all over. Itwas some 'evening. Billy, by the way, has alittle girl about three years old in whom heis much wrapped up.

UP306 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO M4GAZINEAthleticsBaseball.-Partly on account of the' war,which caused Wisconsin to cancel its sched­ule; the team played only one Conferencegame up to April 25, losing to .Iowa onApril 14 by a score of 9-7. The hitting onboth sides was free, and the errors werenumerous. Many games have been' playedwith semi-professional teams, most of themresul ting in defeats for Chicago on accotin tof poor' pitching. . The only hurlers' areMarum, '17, and Larkin, '18. Larkin startedagainst Iowa, but was knocked out of thebox; Marum, who finished the game, waseffective, but poorly supported. Larkin onApril 21 pitched a very good game againstthe Western Electric, holding that team,which is stronger than most western col­lege teams, to one run in twelve innings,and scoring the winning run himself in thetwelfth. He has fair speed, and excellentcontrol, but not much "stuff." Marum' isstronger, but no more skillful, and fieldsbunts-so badly that Coach Page's hair standson end, Captain Hart is the best catcherin the western colleges-a big leaguer inall departments. Curtis, '19, on first, is quiteup to standard, arid so is Rudolph, '18, onsecond. Giles, '18, at short, fills in prettywell; he is physically not strong, but heis always useful. Wiedemann, '17, has beenplaced on third; he alternates brilliant 'stopswith foolish' errors, and hits mostly to theopposing catcher. The outfield is now rea­sonably good, 'with Cahn, '17, in center : 'Maxwell, '18 (a brother of Lee Maxwell),in left, and either Larkin or Marum in right.The weakness in the box, however, is boundto be fatal, and the lack of good substitutesis a' great handicap. The schedule follows:April 14-Iowa 9, Chicago 7;April 25_.;..;..N orthwestern.I April 28-0hio.May 1-Northwestern at Evanston.'May 7-Iowa at Iowa City. ..May 12-Illinois' at -Urbana.May 19-Purdue. .. :�.May 22-Leland' Stanford:, May 26�Illinbis.June i-Purdue at Lafayette.June 4-0hio at 'Colunibus�. Track.-At this writing the track teamalso has engaged in only one' outdoor meet,the Drake relay races. The four-mile team,composed' of Otis, '19; Swett, '18; Powers,'17, and Tanney, '19, won in 18:22 2/5. Thetwo-mile team (McCosh, '19; Jones, '19;Otis, '19, and Clark '18) was beaten byNotre Dame and Purdue, Notre Darne cwin­ning : in, !7i'56 '2/5. Chicago averaged Jessthan .two . minutes to the "half-mile, 'how­.ever,, The�. mile team, (Feuerstein; ,: ,:'18;:Brinkman]. '18; Greene, '19.,,�and:::Clark, "18)was a disappointment, running fourth.' : Hli­nois won in B :21 3/5. Chicago has enteredall" five university relays at Pennsylvania.on April 28, and though she has drawn poor positions, seems to have a chance in twoor three of them. Of the team, as a whole,Feuerstein in the 100 and 220, Bent, '17, andGuerin, '18, in "the hurdles, Clark in the quar­ter and half, Jones and Otis in the half andthe mile, Tenney in the mile and two­mile, and Snyder, '18, and Powers in thetwo-mile are best in the runs, '" _with Brink­man" Greene, McCosh and Angier to fillin. Tenney has not got his strength backsince an attack of measles; and is' run':'ning poorly. Captain Fisher strained a mus- ,cle in his groin and has been out' of prac­tice for .a while.' Graham, '19, is doingtwelve feet in the vault and twenty-two inthe broad jump. Higgins, '19, is a wholeteam in himself in the field events; exceptthe mountainous Mucks there is nobodyin the conference in his class, as he isputting the shot over 43 feet, and throwingthe discus 140 and the javelin 160.. Bre1os,'18, is doing '140 feet in the hammer, andGorgas, '19,' about forty in the shot., Kim­ball, '19, of whom much was, expected, isineligible. At present, with Wisconsin out,Chicago seems to have the best chance inthe Conference, held on Stagg Field onAlumni Day, June 9., The schedule is:April 21-Drake relays at Des Moines.April 21-Penn relays at Philadelphia.May 5�Northwestern at Evanston.May 19-Puq:1ue.May 26-Illinois.June 2-Interscholastic.June 9-Conference meet..Tennis.-Captain Albert Lindauer, '18;was rejected by the U.

With him,Chicago has the tennis titles safe; withouthim, Ohio should' wiri the doubles and Illi­nois the singles. Coleman Clark, '18,. isfair; Nath, '19, is next best.

Theathletic board has not deemed worthy ofimitation the action to abandon the trackand field contest for secondary schoolstaken by a number of the larger colleges,among them Illinois. The prevailing viewof the board is that any hasty or radicalaction in regard to athletic events is unde­sirable and that, inasmuch as extremelyfew high schools or acadamies have can­celed their sporting schedules, calling offthe annual meet is not advisable. The in­terscholastic, which is the sixteenth to beheld, will be staged on Stagg Field 011June 2. MEN"WANTED!The Federal Sign.
