The interest of the University as awhole, and the contributions of personal sacrifice. bymany of our alumni, make it impossible not to realizethat our immediate vision is national, not local.]Nothing-s-to speak only in mortal terms-can break down this nation. It, is toobig, and has too much good in it. But thewar will either make it a much greater na­tibn or set it back in possibilities for manyyears., 'Our immediate business is to win the war.Those who spy and, plot against us mustbe promptly punished. Those who will ti?tco-operate must ultimatelybe coerced. Butthis is a democracy, not an autocracy, arid a'democracv- is efficient and valuable only ,inproportion to the general opportunity of its 'people for co�operation. Unless the mightystirring of national emotions that' accom­panies war is - recognized and wisely di­rected, it will result in something' definitelyevil. Unless the probably ninety millionpeople i� this country who hate war asdefinitely as they hate murder .can be madeto see that out of this huge evil good cancome, they are going to make less and lesswillingly' the- sacrifices which are absolutelyessential and so hamper the prosecutionof 'the '�ar more considerably than - all theGerman spies that ever were littered,_ . How can they be made to see this possi­bility. -of good? Not by suppressing honest.opinion ; far -less by misrepresenting opin­�Qri; ·artd 'vilifying'. 'speakers 'or--writer's forwhat they have, riot said. When Judge, Lan-,dis .sentenced .1�1 men, to punishment Iornot: registering under' the draft .. provisionshe was' absolutely right. They had de��ined 'to support the' government, and whatever , 'their motives, they were liable under the. law. But newspaper stories reflecting onthe motives 'of the whole 121, and gloryingin the severity of the punishment, were aswrong as Judge Landis was right; and what.is • of mere practical importance, . were harm­ful to the essential development ,_ of senti­ment in the United States. Many of those"slackers," as they have been called, without,any; realization of what the term slackerreally means, are cheap and feeble; someare .as honest as the President' himself,though not as intelligent. The democracy'at large, especially the laborers, know this,and when they- read fluent lies about otherlaborers they are more likely than not tosympathize with the very spirit that our'national desire is to be rid of ..On the other hand, no effort to secureat the - present time - a specific definition" of"terms of peace" .: is going to bring- aboutgeneral co-operation in the war, not because·that effort .is disloyal, but because it is to­tally misleading. America is in no positionyet to formulate terms of peace, This is inessence a war against a point of view. Nottill that point of' view is officially aban-­doned by Germany, -in other words, .nottill Germany is beaten by the AJJies, canthe settlement of details proceed. If' Ger:­many's OWlY peace proposals included heavyindemnity: to Belgium, return to France ofAlsace '. 'and Lorraine, the independence oiPoland and the abandonment of her Balkanplans, -those ,'PtOP()sals wo�ld be 'of impor­tance 'not ilJ. themselves, \tut simply because,they indicated.' tha.,t Germany, had seen thehandwriting, on the' wall.The only', way i1J which intelligent and362 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEgeneral co-operation for war can be securedis by utilizing the war spirit to improveconditions at home; by the steady endeavoron the part of those! who write and speakand teach, and so help mold public opinionto visualize America not as she is to beduring the war, but as she is to be afterthe war. The problem is the huge problemof general social organization. Industrialconscription, for example, is, if the warcontinues, as inevitable as military conscrip­tion. The great virtue of conscription isits fixing, of responsibility. But industrialresponsibility' is almost as easy to fix asmilitary. .Are we planning for it ? We haveappropriated' $750,000,000 to the .develop­ment 'of a merchant marine. Is that lessonof what organization can do to be lost uponus? The railroads of the coun try haveunited to move the freight, and the con­gestion is immediately relieved. What doesthat point forward to? We have securedtwo million subscribers, it is said, to a sin­gle national bond issue. Is the process ofnational coalescence to be pursued?The war will tend either to force us apartas a nation, or to' draw us together. Itis the business of every good citizen tolook to the end �s well as to the present,if from this sowing of blood we' are to reapa lasting strength.The Convocation orator was DeanCharles Andrews Huston, '02, J. D., '06,of the Law School ofLeland ,Stanford Ju­nior University. Hespoke on the subject,"Our Nearest Neighbor: Some Thoughtson Our Relations Vli.th Canada." He wasthe first 'alumnus of the Colleges of theUniversity of Chicago to be invited to givethe· Convocation address, although otherswith graduate degrees from the Universityhave been Convocation orators.Professor Huston, who received hisBachelor's degree at the University in 1902with Phi Beta Kappa honors, was, a fel­tow in Political Economy the following,year, . and in' 1906' was graduated from theLaw School with the degree of J. D. Afterserving for three years as an Assistantand Associate .in English and as debatingcoach, he was called to· an instructorshipin law: at Stanford University, where heThe ConvocationOrator was rapidly promoted to a full professor­ship. A year ago he was made Dean ofthe Law Schoof at that institution to suc­ceed Frederic Campbell Woodward, whois now a member of the Law School Fac­ulty at Chicago. Dr. Huston received fromHarvard University the degree of S. J. D.in 1913. ,Mrs. Huston (Margaret David­son, '03) is also a graduate of the Universityand a member of the Phi Beta Kappa, andat one time was a fellow in English. ThePhi Beta Kappa dinner in the QuadrangleClub on June 11 was in horior of the Con­vocation orator and Mrs. Huston.The convocation address, as has beensaid, was on the' subject, "Our Near­est Neighbor: Some Thoughts on "Our.Relation With Canada.' The length of Mr.Stevers' article in the current issue of theMAGAZINE precludes the inclusion of, theconvocation address, and extracts from .it,after long consideration, seemed impossible.It is essentially a whole. It willa-be pub':lished in full in the U niuersit» . Reco11'd forj uly, copies of which. can be secured fr6rllthe Press, and the MAGAZINE will reprintit in the fall. It is with very great reg�etthat we omit it now.The Sanitary and Irid{istriaI' Com�is­"sion to Russia, headed by Dr. Frank Bil­lings, includes HaroldSwift Goes Swift, '07, who hasto Russia gone as an expert inthe organization anddistribution of food supplies. .

Details of his ser­vice have not been received. It is known,however, that he and another Americanpersisted, in their work in the face of aheavy 'artillery attack, and after they hadbeen advised by the military authorities toretire. Rubinkam, a son' of Reverend Na-EVENTS AND DISCUSSIONthaniel Rubinkam of Chicago, and a brotherof N. Rubinkam, '09, is a member of DeltaKappa Epsilon, and in his sophomore yearwas conference champion in diving.The Association: of Doctors of ·Philos­ophy at the annual meeting on June 12contributed $100 from,its' treasury ,to pur­chase "comforts" forthe boys in the U ni­versity of Chicago Ambulance Corps, andauthorized the secretary to appeal to thewhole body of doctors, now numberingover 1,000, to contribute to a permanentSoldiers' Comforts Fund for our Universityvolunteers at the front. Dr. Annie MarianMacLean was the mover of the resolution,and she was made chairman of the com­mittee to administer the fund. Many waysin which scholars may give assistance werediscussed, but this was a definite and prac ...tical contribution immediately at hand, thevery mention of which, especially by Dr.MacLean, who. herself has so long enduredhardship like a good soldier, aroused in­'stant response and effective action. Thedoctors hope to expand the fund to' atleast $500.Doctors' WarContrbution -363Announcement is made that the Univer­sity of Chicago and the trustees' of theEllen H.

Even the very gentlest heart(Though may God bless all gentle hearts l)Can ask that question now.In Belgium there were, gentle heartsKnew neither hate nor fear.Now many' sleep till judgment day,A troubled sleep till Judgment day,For bloody is their bier!But there are blacker wears than crepe,. And. harder beds than graves;Why, Death's a friend in Belgium now.;The dead. are free; in Belgium nowThe living are all 'slaves, . As you and I sit talking hereThe children in the streetAre playing games we used to play,As gayly as we used to play ;I hear their running ·feet.Do you suppose in Belgium nowThat any children play?There is a horror in their breasts,A brooding fierceness in their breasts,That burns their youth away.What are we fighting' for, you ask?What are our terms of peace?Let him, who turned the land to waste;Let him, who turned the seas to blood;Let him, who turned kind hearts to hate;Ask them-upon his knees 1364. THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEThe Medical -SchoolThe -,financial problems preliminary tothe establishment of a great medical school'at the University have been met. PresidentJudson announced at the June convocationthat on May 9, six months from the dateof the action of the Trustees approving thenew plans and authorizing the campaign for$3,300,000., subscriptions were in hand in "ex­cess of that sum. When a report was pre­sented at the meeting of the General Edu­cation Board, May 25, the total pledgesamounted. to $3,461,500.

The amountinvolved in the combination, including allthe corporations which unite for this work,will amount to approximately fifteen mil­lion dollars.Of some of the features of the plan, illthe Convocation Statement President J ud­son said:"We shall have in connection with thePresbyterian Hospital a University schoolfor medical practitioners. I t is' in' order to'carryon this work that the new laboratory,for which $300.,0.0.0. have been given by Mr.and Mrs. Frederick H. Rawson, will beerected in immediate connection with thePresbyterian Hospital, This splendid lab-­oratory will make possible the use of thehospital for teaching purposes on a scalewhich never heretofore could be attempted."N 0 adequate work of this character ex­ists as yet anywhere in the United States.We feel, therefore, that we are rendering aservice to the profession which heretoforein most cases has been afforded only bymedical institutions in Europe."On the south side of the Midway therewill be erected the Albert Merritt BillingsHospital. This structure, for which theBillings family have provided one milliondollars, will be, we trust, the embodiment.'of the very best thought in .. medical sciencefor - a teaching hospital. I t will contain:'about two hundred and' fifty beds for pa­tients, together with suitable laboratoriesand lecture rooms for teaching and re-­search.. It will be maintained by: the pied ..ical endowment ·of the University, so thatit will in no sense be dependent on pay­ment from patients. Indeed, the beds willbe free, excepting in so far as the individ­uals may choose to render -some cornpen-:sation for the service they receive. Suchcompensation will go into the treasury 6fthe University for the medical school, andnotto individual members of the staff. Themedical faculty and the clinical depart­ments will give their entire time to teachingTHE MEDICAL SCHOOL 365and practice in the hospital, but wilt receiveno compensation from practice.. The hos­pital will be controlled wholly by the medicalstaff, the medical faculty being the hospitalstaff. All patients received in the hos­pital will be received on condition of beingused for teaching purposes. In other words,the medical school on the Midway will beestablished strictly on the scientific basis,and any element of commercial medicalpractice wiil be absolutely non-existent inits .organization."Adjacent to the hospital will be erectedthe Max Epstein Dispensary. This struc­ture, for which Mr. and Mrs. Max Epsteinhave given $100,000, will perform the es­sential function of a dispensary, which is �vital element in' the training of medicalstuden ts, and at the same time will afforda social center, which the last developmentsof, medical science involve as essential tothe best work of the hospital itself."[The following article, written for the MAGAZINEby one of the medical faculty, will give the Alumnia clear view of exactly what the purpose of the newmedical school is.-Ed.]Early in the development of Americanmedicine, educational institutions limitedtheir participation to offering brief coursesof lectures conducted by general practition­ers and financed by the fees of such stu­dents as might apply. Subsequent devel­opment has seen the participation enlargedin four general directions:' The elevationof the requirements of admission and grad­uation of students; the amassing of en­dowments sufficient to make the conductof curricula largely independent of studentfees; the reorganization of the instruc­tional forces making for. increased effi­ciency; and finally the assumption ofadditional medical activities not strictlyeducational.From a time when students offering ameagre common school- education were re­ceived and graduated as doctors ofmedicine within eighteen months, we haveadvanced to a period in which the repre­sentative institutions demand three or fouryears of college work for admission to themedical course and a four years residencein such a course leading to graduation. Inthe financial conduct of the medical school,the change has been equally great. Theearlier efforts were limited in expense to the funds from tuition fees; hence propa­ganda, directed toward enlisting students inlarge numbers. Contrast this conditionwith the present situation, in which themedical schools of influence count their en­dowmen ts in millions.A change which has been effected withsomewhat greater difficulty and which is atpresent less complete, is the reorganizationand readjustment of the instructional forces.The direction of the change, however, hasbeen constant and the actual advance ofgreat magnitude. The change lis. essentiallya division of labor. The practicing physi­sian who gained the distinction of Profes­sor of Medicine, was in earlier periods heldresponsible for the courses in physiologyas a "side-line." Likewise the surgeonstood sponsor for anatomy or a kindredmedical science;_ and these things, too, inaddition to the demands upon time andenergy of a private practice large enoughto live on. Little byTitfl e, the educationalinstitutions possessing departments of med­icine, have' modified this situation by ex­tending the general type of their facultyorganization to the medical faculty also.One subject after another has. been givenits academic independence and placed inthe hands of experts, who work upon itonly, and are well enough paid fromgeneral- funds not to need to mixin miscellaneous extra-mural activities. Atthe present time approximately half -thesubj ects constituting the usual medicalschool curriculum are so organized and theextension of the system to the remainingsubjects is rapidly progressing in the betterinstitutions.The fourth line of development is of anemphasis, not less upon student instructionbut more upon creative -scholarship.. Ascenters of scientific investigation, medicalcolleges have more and more assumed re­sponsibility for additions to medical knowl­edge by maintaining qualified investigatorsand by supplying the necessary physicalequipment for their work. It is here thatthe universities proper exert their most furi­damental influence in medicine. The fieldsof investigation are broader than those offormal medical instruction but bear quiteas close a relation to the community atlarge. The intensive study of the problems366 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEof heredity, of insanity, of general hygieneand preventive medicine, of nutrition, ofresistance to bacterial infection, and ofchemical therapeutics, are among the "work­shop" activities now subsidized by the rank- -ing institutions. To the purpose of teach­ing what is known has been added thepurpose of. investigating the unknown.It is in relation to these lines of the pastdevelopment of medicine within academicinstitutions .fhat our own recent accom­plishment is of moment.

The process of learning thatthis notion is wrong forms an admirablethread upon which to string a 'great dealof my discourse.

The trouble'with this beautiful scheme' (just as it hasalways been-in every nation and of everywar) is that Fritz is out to play the samegame, : and is quite as good at it as weare-s-and on top of that; we are not per--fect, in organization, training and equip­ment, for the task. Consequently, we have"accidents" and upsets, and from' these "ac­cidents" are born' the· casualty lists. Thehopeful' feature of it is that the nearer wecome to' this ideal, in our aviation, artil­lery, infantry, supply, home organization,and so' on, the fewer "accidents" there wiltbe: therefore, so far as we at the Fortare concerned, the nearer we come to per­fection, other parts of the military machinekeeping up, of course, the better are ourchances 'of survival, -In ,other words, we are here to be built, into, a. war machine, which, while not beingperfect, should be more nearly so than, Mr. Hohenzollern's. "Preponderance of. minor, advantages," this favorable balanceis' called technicalfy: and as a' practical mat­ter it is this preponderance which winswars, That is to say, we get a little edge"here: we add a little bit there; and thusfinally, bit by bit, 'we place an overwhelm­ing weight of superiority upon the enemyand crush him. Consequently, so far as -367being . fattened' for. the -slaughter 'is con­cerned, it's· just the other way around:we're fattened' so that we won't be slaugh­tered, and the amount of slaughtering doneamong us will be' in inverse' proportionto the thoroughness with which we do ourwork, here and' later, ·This transformation in our. mental atti-'tudes ,is proceeding along well orderedlines, and is being wrought by two forces,one formal and the other informal. Theformal force is made up of the' drills andstudies designed to give us' that proficiencywhich 'will insure us the preponderanceof minor advantages; the informal partconsists of our discussions, associations,comments and conclusions upon the formal'. work' and our various experiences, big andlittle, in the soldiering game.This statement does not mean that theArmy trains only your minds and bodies,and leaves us to settle our personal reac­tions as best we may.' Far from it. Justas it has a - definite transformation to workupon our instinct of self-preservation, sohas it a mighty definite program for a'c·complishing this result; and that methodis about the neatest thing I've seen in along, time. Here it is: .The Army does not threaten you withdire punishment if you're 'not brave, andobedient, and all that, and thus, 'by creat­ing in, you a fear that is greater than thefear of bullets, insure that you will facebullets. That method doesn't work, andthe Army knows it. Witness the case 'ofthe colored sentinel in the Philippines whodeserted his post and came in over a miieon a dead run, and surrendered at theguardhouse, knowing fun well that he facedthe probability of punishment sudden andgrhn,. but- "they's wampuses out theyah,and they ain't no .wampuses in the guahd­house. That's what Ah means." Instead,the Army invites you to study in the Schoolof the Soldier, School .of the Squad, andSchool' of the Company, and is merely in­sistent that you pay attention to your. les­sons in these schools.

And when you . and all yourcomrades in 'arms, have undergone thistransformation, the foundation for' theArmy is laid. 'A typical instance of this training is thematter of standing at attention-s-one ofthe, elementary' lessons in the School of theSoldier. Standing 'at attention, in termsof the experience of a friend of ours, maybe completely explained by describing hisconduct' on one of' the early Saturdays,during -company 'inspection under arms.We �ere lined up in the company streetin double rank, each man .with his rifleand bayonet, and all stood in the positionof the' soldier' (head and 'body erect, eyesstraight' to the front, toes turned out, etc.)while the captain inspected our rifles.' Our 'friend had the best intentions 'in the world.He was determined not to move, no matter'what. might happen;' his eyes shone, hisbody quivered with eagerness to, make agood showing. Bitt' there 'was a startlingnoise at one end 'of the rank, and beforehe knew it, his head had - poked itself' for ...ward, 'and he was looking to see what hadhappe1;1ed." This happened two or threetimes; then the' captain came up and took'his name', with - a' glance and in - a tonethat were: shriveling.

'lookand tet_ it pas's. Our cap-tain- knew thatthe collegian - hadn't been completely en­gulfed yet; and needed a little more time;that was" all. There was the �'is-dom of theArmy, you see; the' captain 'knew' full wellthat 'if he kept the neophyte at the' taskof standing at attention, and the neophytemastered the art, t'he 'rest would' � follow-as certainly as four comes after' addingtwo' arid two. ,Contrast that with my own psychology.andT think you' will get the 'point.

' .MAKING OFFICERS,The School of the Soldier and the SchoolQ.t the Squad thus build up individual sub­ordination to the plan. The School of theCompany is the Army's method of weldingthe subordinated human units into a unifiedmass, ,absolutely subject to the will of thecaptain; and it is in that school 'that we arestudying now. The school consists, briefly,of mastering the evolutions which look sopretty 'on the parade ground; and it iscontinued until the soldier, marching, say,in 'column of squads, hears .the command,"Company, right front into line, march:"obliques to the' right, marches to the front,at the corporal's command, halts and comesto an order arms in the same movement,and executes left dress-and all the whileas instinctively as you might brush awaya fly while concentrated upon reading. Oncethat quality is instilled, you can tell your'men the meaning of the various phrasescorresponding to the 'movements you wantperformed, run them through the com­mands until they establish the necessaryhabitual reactions-and you. have a massunit which will stand under fire like somany veterans, the first time they go intoaction. In other words, your company isfi t to take its place in the machine.We have gone through the "individual"phase, and we are working on this . "col­lective" phase at the present writing. It'sjust what standing at attention was at first-we know what is to 'be done and how todo it, and we can do it-but we don't do it.The other day the captain took us out onthe parade ground and gave us a few sim- -ple commands contained in company drill.,W'e did our best, 'and our best was atro­cious; so .he halted us, and told us to lookat ourselves. The assigned task had beensimple enough; we were to: march, sideby side, straight across the parade ground,But our line looked like a boa-constrictorwith delirium tremens; some· men wereactually marching into each other, and afew were on separate expeditions, all bythemselves, and almost at right angles to. the line of march. ,Rifles were pointed toevery section of the heavens. - And thesewere college trained men, mind you, everyone of, them; they had been drilled to thepoint of exhaustion, in. that same move­ment, as members of squads of eight. Butthat little telephone exchange in their minds' : 369hadn't developed the connection so thatthe captain's voice set all the necessarymuscular movements going, when the wholemass. was to act as a unit; the process stillwas one of an appeal by the captain totheir 'volition, an order from their will tothe separate elements of muscular move-.ments, such as moving the limbs" holdingthe rifle properly, keeping step in cadenceand' length of stride, and preserving align­ment-and their mind was still unable towatch all the points at once. Result-­chaos.But the captain did not despair. Afterall, why should he? Only two weeks be-'fore we had been handled' rifles and setto work mastering the task of handlingtheine N ow, a rifle is' about the most awk­ward thing in the world to handle prop':erly; learning it is worse, than learningthe fox trot. Men dropped guns on theirtoes; made two or three trials before theycould get the gun from the left shoulderto the right; I nearly broke my jaw byhitting it a wallop with the butt. *But now the guns click into position .inone movement-one hundred and fifty ofthem; and in a week, the, company will beas instinctively responsive to the captain'swill in company movements, as it now isin the' Manual of Arms. One thing at atime-and the one thing now is close orderdrill.All this, of course, looks and feels ex­actly like drill to' the man who is goingthrough it, and unless he has learned' thewhys and wherefores of it, he rs' bored byit. The other part of the drill-that is.the drill directed to' the mind and bodyinstead of to the "soul"-is more inter­esting because more obviously of' value. ':These drills include various exercises inhandling and aiming' the rifle, bayonet work,open order drills, patrolling, and 'so on.We get this work, sand�iched in. between '.the disciplinary exercises; but i don't pro­pose to discuss them-they're practically. *Perhaps "! had. better explain that I had a harder,time. mastering this task than would a new recruit.I am' a. "W�go� soldier:'-that is,. an. art!lleryman_; .and my instinctive reaction toward a rifle IS the sameas that of an infantryman toward a bean blower. ButI had more than the' recruit's instinct' of obedienceto orders. I wouldn't stop to ask questions, or maketentative movements? so at the command I whipped upthe gun and swatted myself a beautiful wallop withmy weapon, where the green man would have usedhis mind a little and steered the butt carefully pastthe point of contact.

'.The youngsters show emotion. when bul­lets are mentioned; perhaps they shudder.The old hand looks off into the distance,as though back through' the ye�.rs, andseems to' be listening to a farawayvoice--rthe sound of bullets humming like hornetsand splashing into the dirt all about him.­then he knocks the ashe's from his pipesays, "Well, the grub is good' here�andthat's enough - to think about until we gosomewhere else," heaves his bulk 'off thebunk, and wanders out of the room.

'in thought, as a properpreliminary to ignoring them in fact.These old "vets" are wonderfully steady­.ing influences to have scattered throughthe camp; with their indifference to bulletsand-death, their' calm acceptance of 'all sit­uations, and their instant readiness in anyemergency, they are an inspiration to fledg­ling warriors like myself. Thank Heaven,we have a lot of them; the lessons welearn from them in forgetfulness of per­sonal safety while acting in line of duty,will stand us in good stead in France.Another absorbingly interesting type isthe recluse, unearthed "for the duration ofthe war." He is in his thirties, and hisworking life 'has been spent in some cow­webby corners, slaving over law briefs,accounts, some laboratory instrument, orwhat not. Out here, for the first time,he feels the tonic breath of the open coun­try; he enjoys the warmth of rough andhearty human fellowship en masse. Thesechaps are opening up, expanding, like morn­ing glories under the morning sun. Theybegin to joke-something they haven't donefor twenty years" many of them; day byday they show more tendency to abandontheir corners, and join informal groupswithout waiting for invitations. War isa blessing to them; even should they becut down, they will have had a few monthsof life, with more real satisfaction to itthan if they had- completed their normalspan of years in their civilian niches. Wouldthat every man of the sort could have theexperience ! .Then, of course, there is the collegian,with which we are all familiar. He is theshining light of enthusiasm, the bunk housepest who wakes up everyone who knowsanything (for the old hand goes to "bunkfatigue" as instinctively as a duck to water,when he has a minute off) in order to askquestions. 0 But for once nobody minds­in fact, everyone is glad to explain points,in order to perfect his own grasp of thesubject.

Icould go on forever, given time, energy andpermission=-I could give you a summaryTHE JUNE REUNIONof the moralities involved in the war, asthe camp sees them-but I shouldn't tryto get a book published, under color ofwriting an article for the MAGAZINE. All Iwant to say, further, is that this is one ofthe boldest, most magnificently conceived,and best handled schemes for conversionof human nature almost overnight, that Ihave ever heard about, much less seen; 373and as a very minor prophet, but with allthe conviction of my immature years, Iventure the prediction that it will succeed.And whether it does or not, I say, "Hats offto the Regular Army of the United States-the one organization that could dare tryso gigantic an experiment-the one organi­zation that can hope to succeed with it!"-Martin D. Stevers.The June ReunionAfter undergoing nearly as many changesas the Chicago school board, the programfor the 1917 Reunion dwindled down tothree main events; the Alurnnse Breakfast,the General Dinner, and the Evening En­tertainment (sic) in Maude I Hall. It wasa very different program from the one inthe minds of Alumni Council members inthe middle of March, but the declarationof war arid the consequent feeling thatany unnecessary expenditure of funds wouldbe out of place soon made it evident thatthe plans would have to be simplified.The Reunion had a rousing start at thedinner for "C" men on Thursday evening,June 7. Well-known athletes like RobertHarris and H. Orville Page made largegains repeatedly by their sensational divesand tackles, and departing from his prac­tice on· the gridiron, Mr. Stagg was forcedto blow his whistle loudly and often tocheck the advance. The score for theevening was "C" men, 128; Commons, O.Friday was a quiet day, except for the1916 party in Ida Noyes Hall, which towardthe end was not so quiet. The aides heldtheir annual dinner and meeting on Fridayevening, and the men of 1914 met down­town for the preliminaries of their triennialreunion. The Interfraternity Sing, whichfor years has been one of the greatest at­tractions of the Reunions, was called offby an excitable Interfraternity Council, dis­appointing a large number of people, andmaking the Reunion seem much shorterthan in other years.The first event on Saturday was theWomen's Breakfast, managed by the Chi­cago Alumnee Club and giveri in Ida Noyes Hall. After the committee had survivedthe annual flurry caused by those who die!not know it was necessary to make res­ervations, and after Lucy '09 had explainedwhy she hadn't had time to write Mabel '11.The 1917 President (John Slifer) onClass Day374 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEand after the customary number of "Why,my dear, it's the longest time-" and thelike, 247 women were finally seated in theIda Noyes refectory.At promptly 12:50 William Lyman, '14,took up his duties as Reunion Registrar,and began to dispense information andtickets. A number of the alumni went overto Stagg Field where they had the pleas­ure of watching the Maroon track teamcapture the Conference title. The Class of1907 acted as host for the classes from1906 to 1910 at an informal tea held inHutchinson Court, and as the afternoonwore on the alumni started gathering forthe dinner.The dinner was a surprise, in that theattendance was nearly double the figureset by the committee as the probable num­ber. Judging by the attendance in otheryears, and taking into account the fact thatmany of our alumni are busy with nationalaffairs at present, it was supposed that notmore than 200 persons would come toHutchinson Commons on Saturday evening.Each mail brought reservations to theAlumni Office, however, 150, then 200,and 250, right on up to Saturday morningwhen the 300 mark was passed. The com­mittee reserved every available seat in theCommons, and the actual number of din­ners served was 382. In view of the factthat the attendance at the Quarter Cen­tennial Dinner in 1916 was not much over425, it may be said that this year's dinnerwas a decided success.After the classes had been given an op­portunity to name their representatives onthe group committees, an informal singwas held in Hutchinson Court under thedirection of the University Band and oneWilliam P. MacCracken, '09. The "C"men, with their blankets, then marchedinto Mandel Hall and stood in a semi-circleon the stage while William Scott Bond, '97,presented the portrait of Mr. Stagg to theUniversity. President Judson accepted thepainting, with a few remarks on the time­liness of the gift, and then Mr. Stagg,standing in one of the boxes, yielded tothe audience's demands for a speech.A short business session was held by the Class Day Exercises: Handing Downthe Cap and Gownofficers of the College Alumni Association,the minutes of which are printed elsewherein this issue. After that was over theAlumni Vaudeville began. The best thingabout it was the ending. A great deal hasbeen said about the Vaudeville-too much,probably. But if the entertainment wasnot all that could be desired, the alumnican blame themselves. A number of per­sons were offered opportunities to exhibittheir peculiar talents, and one and all. theygracefully withdrew. The committee thenwent elsewhere and did its best with theaforementioned result. After all, why is anAlumni Vaudeville?Telegrams of greeting to the alumni wereread at the Mandel Hall -meeting from theclubs at Indiartapolis, Des Moines, Dayton,Emporia, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, SiouxCity, Grand Forks (North Dakota),THE JUNE REUNION 375Omaha, and New York City. Milwaukeewired: "Congratulations and felicitationsto President Judson, the Alumni Associa­tion and to our university from hersons and daughters living in Milwaukeeat this time of the 26th reunion. It is ourearnest wish that the present crisis findsevery University of Chicago alumnus readyto do his or her share." The EasternAlumni Association at New York sent:"Greetings ! We are discussing plan tosend Baldridge, '11, with ambulance toFrance." Omaha reported: "ChicagoAlumni of Omaha, friends and childrenmeet to honor our Alma Mater and inci­dentally to plant a patch of potatoes tohelp the cause." Dayton said: "Daytonalumni signing pledges for Chicago tonight.Will forever pull for her." But the moststriking message was from Des Moines. Asreceived over the telephone, it was: "DesMoines-Chicago grades corn fed molassesand leads to the squabs. Send greetingsfrom a rousing meeting, and if measure of loyalty ads." After translation, it provedto be as follows:"Des Moines Chicago grads,Corn-fed lasses and lads,To the quad send greetingFrom a rousing meeting,And its measure of loyalty adds."On the whole, the Reunion was more suc­cessful than the committee had dared hope.Coming as it did when everyone was think­ing not of reunions, but separations, whenappeals that cannot be resisted were beingmade for money, it would not have beenstrange if the attendance had been small.There were some missing that nothing butwar could have kept away. The gross re­ceipts from the Vaudeville were given tothe Women's War Aid of the Universityof Chicago. But there' was nothing mourn­ful about the events (ask the waiters atthe C dinner) and next year let us hopethat notes like "Impossible to come. InGovernment service" will be unnecessaryand things of the past.Class Day Exercises: After Luncheon in the Court (Scott Brown, '97, Speaking)376 THE .UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE." __ .., '"'IIi ServiceThe following undergraduates left theUniversity during the spring quarter forwar service of one sort or other:Anderson, P.

The first term course beganJune 18, and ends July 25; it is then re­peated, beginning July 26 and ending Au­gust 31. It gives credit of 1V, majors toeither under-graduates or graduates.The outstanding purpose of the course isthat of securing an understanding of theadministration of supplies from the' shopof the home producer to the soldiers in thearmy at the front. Incidental to this pur­pose there is discussion of such matters asarmy organization and regulations, campsanitation, military map reading, transport,government purchasing methods, stores andstowing, military law, systems of account­ability, etc. Accepted business practice isstudied through lectures and field trips.There are practice problems in army paperwork. Instruction in drill and in militaryFrench is included.. In the first course seventy-eight men areregistered, including the following alumni:C. A. Borroff, '16; Max F. Cornwell, '16;Ralph O.

R. E. Wyant, captain of the university elevenin 1893, now a physicia1?- ill; Chicago, celebrated .hisfiftieth birthday by delivering the. alumni orationat Bucknell .College, Pennsylvania, in June, on theoccasion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of his gradu­ation from Bucknell. The following are extracts fromhis address.e+Ed.] .�There is no doubt that the objectionablefeatures of football are greatly exaggeratedand its virtues underestimated. It is reallynot a brutal nor an ,extremely dangerousgame. It is dangerous' as hunting, moun­tain-climbing, polo, yachting, swimming andsimilar exhilarating sports, calling for highexertion and some risk, are dangerous. Butmanly sports' and games of that type arewholesome for our civilization. PresidentFaunce says: "I firmly believe that weought .to have one 'rough' game in college-on:e, game in which men come into per­sonal conflict with one another."The charge of frequent serious injuries,.leading to permanent weaknesses, whichprove a handicap to the victim in later life,would be "irnp,ortant and almost unanswer­able', if H. could be established. But the'subject' has again and again been investi­gated and invariably the charge has beenproven untrue. I have written to anum ..ber of Bucknell and Chicago football menand h'ave not heard of a single case wherefootball has hindered a ma�' fro� beingphysically what he might have been, hadhe never entered the game,' but .on thecontrary they. have, testified that they werebetter, fitted for life's ta-sks. Thanks to agood physical heredity and proper hygiene,I can testify that during the past twenty­five years I have not missed a single day'sprofessional engagement on account of ill­ness.As 'military .Iife demands a preliminarymedical examination showing physical fit­ness, so no student should be allowed toplay the game without having passed athorough medical examination to" certifyfitness' in every way. . And as no sol.dier inmodern warfare is allowed to go to thefront without having undergone the sever-, est, military training, so no student shouldbe allowed to enter a severe football con­test who has not .had the· necessary pre­Iirninary training and is not in the pink'of condition. I believe that it was largely Preparednessdue to these, two ·requirements of physicalfitness and adequate preliminary 'trainingthat during s�ven' years I played throughmore than a hundred collegiate and inter­collegiate contests without. receiving aninjury sufficient to retire me from a singlegame, I have written to my class broth­ers, who unanimously testify that even'primitive football was altogether beneficialto them, despite the injuries received. Al­though they were serious enough;' they wereinsignificant compared with the mental dis­cipline �nd bodily advantage.As one who played football four yearshere and three years at the University ofChicago, against representative teams fromthe Atlantic to the Pacific, I can speak frommore than the average experience, and. Ichampion football as a valuable means' ofpreparedness. .A number of colleges have suspended alltheir 'athletic contests during the war, butwe hope that athletics will be, maintainedat Bucknell, as at the University of Chi­cago, where Coach Stagg has declared thatthe best means of getting our' college meninto shape for warfare will not be by meremilitary drill arid tactical maneuvers, butalso by steady physical development whichenables them to meet the vigor of modernwarfare. Trench fighting demandsthe max­imum of physical strength, ability to with­stand the severest hardships and stamina inthe face, of gruelling bodily discomforts,, For modern warfare' what discipline is bet­ter than that of the football field wherepractically' every factor needed on the battlefield is found ? It is worthy of note thatin Canadian and English training- campsand even back of the lines -in France greatemphasis is laid' on football and other ath­letic contests between squads, companies,regiments and even brigades and divisions,the officers also taking part with the men,thereby fostering a democratic spirit in the'army. This same system of' athletics willsurely be established in out great Ameri­can training camps. Football gives notonly the requisite .physical development forwar, but also cultivates those qualities ofcharacter that .make a good soldier and areneeded in the army of this nation.THE UNIVERSITY RECORDThe University RecordThe Board of Trustees have announcedthe following new appointments:- George Tyler Northup (Ph.

'380 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEThe necessity of having some familiaritywith spoken French on the part of Ameri­can soldiers who are soon to see active ser­vice. in France has suggested the ,prepara­tion of a little volume. called First Lessonsin Spoken French for Men in Military Ser­vice, which the Press announce for imme­diate publication. Professor Wilkins, ofthe Department of Romance Languages, as­sisted by Assistant Professor Coleman andMr. H. R. Huse, has prepared the bookprimarily for use in the Reserve Officers'Training Camps, its first use being at FortSheridan, where the Y. M. C. A. is offeringto members of the camp courses in French.The book, which will be published in asmall pocket edition especially adapted tothe everyday needs of the officer and pri­vate, will present the French language' assimply as possible and at the same timeacquaint the soldier with the common mil­itary terms which he will be most likely tomeet on his arrival in France.

Robert Llewellyn Henry, Jr. (Pat),who holds a commission as captain in theOfficers' Reserve Corps, was one of thoseat the '02 tables at the dinner and amongthe C. men on the stage at the time of thepresentation of the· portrait of Mr. Stagg.Captain Henry is- now in .service at. thetraining camp at Fort Sheridan, He 1S agraduate not only of the University of Chi­cago, but also of Plattsburg, where he wentthrough two camps last summer..From Captain William DeSombre, who 1Sin the regular army, we received a tele­gram which was passed among the mem­bers of the class, giving advice as to whatthe non-enlisted can do to help out.In our cheering' at the dinner the '02sgave nine 'rahs each (nine 'rahs were theorder in our day) for Houston, convoca­tion orator, Keehn, chairman of the day,who was at the head of one of our tables,and for Henry, DeSombre, Wrightson, alsoan officer in the regular army, and Foremanof the American Ambulance Corps. 'Another feature of· the '02, part of thecelebration was the presence of Dean Tuftsas the guest of honor of our class. Mrs.Tuf'ts .had also been invited, but could notbe present. The activities of Dean Tuftsand Mrs. Tufts in' assisting our class, espe­cially in our senior year, were much appre-- ciated. At that ime Dean Tufts wrote one,of the. many class songs which we had, avery interesting one; to the tune of "Man­dalay."

But thesun came out; the understanding conductorput the crowd off-at Port Chester; Radyturned in the tickets, and Rady and thesandwich wagons turn up at the dunes withconflicting and diverting stories of how theycovered the miles. Even, Orno Roberts,visibly worried about both bachelordom andgrease cups and Orno's four-passenger, in­visibly worded about his maiden cross­country drive, were not down-hearted.
