ArchbishopLang, who was educated at Glasgow Uni-versity and Balliol College, Oxford, wasfor six years a student of the Inner Tem­ple, London, and for three years was Fel­low and Dean of Divinity at Magdalen Col­lege, Oxford. He became Vicar of St.Mary's, the University church at Oxford,in 1894, Bishop of Stepney in 1901, Canonof St. Paul's the same" year, and was Hon.Chaplain to Queen Victoria. In 1908 he wasappointed Archbishop of York. Among hispublications are The Miracles of J esus, asMarks of the Way of Li] e, and The Oppor­tunity of the Church of England.Major Henry Gordon Gale, '96, profes­sor of physics and dean in the colleges, isnow in France, whereDean Gale he has been placed inIn France charge of instructionof the U. S. meteor­ological service. Major Gale was seniorinstructor of the infantry division of thethird Officers' Training Camp at CampGrant, but in January was transferred firstto Washington and then to France for hispresent service. The work of the meteoro­logical section is not principally connectedwith aviation, as frequently supposed, butwith the artillery. Some twelve hundredtrained observers will be presently attachedto our army in France, their duties beingto note all atmospheric conditions that af­fect long-range gunfire. The story that Ambulance Unit Number12, generally called the University of Chi­cago Unit, and now intraining at Allen town,Pennsylvania, has beenor is about to be dis­banded, is not accurate. The cubic capacityrequired for shipment of ambulance equip ..ment is so great, and the numbers of menin the service now in France with our armyis so large, that the prospect Unit No. 12has of being sent over does not seemimmediate. Therefore, the governmentoffered the members of the unit the op­portunity of transfer to some other branchof service, if they were fitted for it. A fewhave been returned to medical study,though they are still sworn in to govern­ment service. Most are still at Allentown.In this connection the fact may be notedof unofficial information that out of a hun­dred men in the first Ordnance Groupswho have been sent to France, eighty-twohave been promoted to second lieuten-AmbulanceUnit No. 12antcies.Yale University has taken the step of re­organizing its undergraduate work towholly military ends.Military or Non- The basic study will beMilitary Colleges? of war, the basic train-ing military; all othercourses adjunct to this purpose. Exceptthat it will not be a government institution,Yale will in all main features resembleWest Point. President Hadley, in prt.­senting. the plan, declares that no study canbe of value unless motived, and that thepresent crisis admits of no fundamentalmotive in the young man except the wishto serve his country. The Chicago Tribune176 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEhighly approves of this step. Apparentlythe colleges in general do not. Says theCornell Sun: ."The business of the college, amid thetumult and havoc of war, as in times ofpeace, is to conserve American ideals. Andtrading our educational system for militar­istic training alone, is a betrayal of our besttraditions. War brings new burdens, andone of those burdens is taking up militarytraining intensively in the time once usedfor pleasure and frivolities."America must don Mars' arms untilpeace comes. But America must not de ...sert her educational ideals for that mili­taristic educational system which has madeGermany the mad dog among nations."American education as constituted nowwill forever prevent America from becom­ing militarized. Education along broadlines exercises a restraining influe�ce uponthe militaristically inclined individual, andhe maintains a sane outlook on life."For a time we must fight with Germany'sown weapons. But our educational idealsmust be preserved and continued along withmilitary training if we are to be saved fromthe damnation awaiting Germany."So it is that Yale's decision to grant de­grees for military work, including only afew of the other educational influenceswhich keep militarism in its place, seems astep in the wrong direction."The plan of having the courses given bythe University of Chicago re-organized withthe war as the only determining factor isnow under discussion. There has neverbeen any intention of adopting Yale's ideas.But the omission of all so-called culturalcourses, the emphasizing of the sciences toa far greater extent even than they are nowemployed, has been pleaded for, and a com­mittee is now wrestling with the problem.What do the alumni think?

LawrenceLaughlin, who until his retirement twoyears ago, was head of the department ofpolitical economy at Chicago.Since writing of the American UniversityUnion in Paris, in the last issue of theMag a z i n e, the fol­lowing statement of an­other overseas Ameri­can University Club hasbeen received from A. H. Swan, '11, who is inShanghai, China:The American University Club of China isA UniversityClub in ChinaEVENTS AND DISCUSSION 177composed of near ly three hundred gradu­ates and former students of American uni­versities, who are now living in China. Themembership is about equally divided be­tween Chinese graduates of American uni­versities who have returned home to China,and of Americans who are engaged in thevarious business, educational, medical andmissionary enterprises that Americans areconducting in the Republic of China.The club was organized in 1903 and themembership has grown steadily. The pur­pose of the club is to stimulate a closer feel­ing of fellowship on the part of Americancollege men who are living in· China andalso stimulate a closer fellowship amongAmericans and Chinese which is so neces­sary to the future peace and well being ofthe Pacific.Approximately 1,200 Chinese graduatesand former students of American and Euro­pean Universities have now returned toChina. More than half of this numberhave been educated in America and theirrecords since returning to China show thattheir education has not been in vain. Inpractically every line of endeavor in China,engineering, railroad management, manu­facturing, education, medicine, business,and governmental service they are to befound in positions of trust and responsibil­ity.There are .n ow about 7,000 Americans liv:...ing in China and the last few years has seena great stimulus in the growth of Ameri­can business and other interests in China.Since China is now being rapidly modern­ized along Western or American lines theAmerican University Club desires to em­phasize the importance of a closer study oiquestions dealing with the Far East on thepart of American colleges and universitiesI t also desires to call the attention o,American young men and women to thepossibility of becoming of service to Amer­ica through a closer study of world-wideaffairs and questions, especially those deal­ing with the Far East.American college students or professorsdesiring special information on subjectsdealing with China and the Orient areurged to communicate with the AmericanUniversity Club, Shanghai, China. Captain Charles E. Merriam, of the avia­tion section of the signal corps, professorof political science inthe University, hasbeen ordered to Romeby the Secretary ofWar, for the purpose of organizing a bureauof public information there. The need ofsuch a bureau has been felt since the UnitedStates' entrance in the war. Its object willbe to counteract the work of Germanpropagandists in I taly. The publications ofthe bureau will review the war aims of theUnited States; the purpose of the Americangovernment not to interfere in the internalpolicies of Europe; and the extensivepreparations which are being made to lendthe allies all of the United States' militarypower. A similar bureau has been estab­lished in Russia for several months.Prof. MerriamSent to RomeThe University has been asked by theIntelligence Section of the War Departmentto provide a list ofundergraduates,' andrarticularly of alumni,whose connection withA Service tothe Governmentforeign groups and command of a foreignlanguage qualify them to speak to groups ofnon-English speaking people. All men ofthis sort who will undertake the work areasked to communicate with President J ud­son at once. It is possible that universityfunds as well as government funds may becontributed toward this work. The Intelli­gence Section is naturally desirous of keep­ing in close touch with foreign-speakingsoldiers and their families. Alumni who canand will help will be doing the governmenta service entirely comparable with thatwhich is done in the field.A College Exhibit was held at the CityClub of Cleveland in January.

His death, announcedon February 26, was from pneumonia, in anAmerican camp. Olmsted was born in1892, and lived at Taylor, Pennsylvania. Hematriculated at the University of Virginia,where he spent more than two years. Heentered the University of Chicago in theautumn quarter, 1916, registering in theCollege of Arts, but later transferring tothe College of Education. In the ordinarycourse of events he would have received his degree at the end of the autumn quarter,1917.In April, however, Olmsted enlisted. Hewas sent to Jefferson Barracks, Missouri,and then to Fort Bliss, EI Paso, New Mex­ico, and assigned to the 15th Field Artil­lery. In June he was sent to Syracuse, NewYork, and in the early summer, overseas.The news of his death reached the Maga­zine too late for any extended notice, which.however we shall hope to 'include in theApril issue.EVENTS AND DISCUSSION 179Military Science Courses and CreditThe first officially recognized training inmilitary science at the University of re­cent years was given in the Spring Quarter,1917, Just after the declaration of war.The MAGAZINE at that time gave a con­spectus of the plan, and has frequently re­ferred since then to its working. Thisarticle is intended merely as a statement ofconditions at the present time.The first commandant, Major Ola \V.Bell, was transferred to other service inJune, H117. The courses in the summer wereunder the supervision of Major E. B. Tol­man, well-known in Chicago; the under­graduate in charge was Lee Ettelson, '19,who had been for two years in the NationalGuard, and served on the Mexican botderthe year before. In September direction ofaffairs passed into the hands of Major] olinGrisard (retired). In November Ettelsonresigned, and Dunlap Clark, '17, was ap­pointed in his place. Physical disahilitygreatly hampered Major Grisard; after themiddle of December he was seldom able toleave his home. All lectures and drill inthe first weeks of the current quarter", erehandled by Clark and the undergraduateofficers.On January 25 Clark was summoned fortraining in the Signal Corps (balloon ob­servation section) at Omaha, where henow is. Eugene Carlson, '19, was appointedin his place, and carried on the work of thecorps until February 1S, when CaptainWilliam McAndrew, Ex-'ll, of Company F,:H1 Infantry, was assigned to duty here.Captain McAndrew, after three years atVincennes University, came to the Uni­versity of Chicago in 1907, was here for ayear, taught a year, went back to Vin­cennes for his A. B. in 1910, and then spentanother year at Chicago. From 1913 to 1917he was athletic director of the SouthernIllinois Normal School. In 1914 he becamea captain in the 4th Illinois National Guard.He went to the first training camp at FortSheridan, and was commissioned captainAugust 15. He was assigned to CompanyF, 341st Infantry, National Army, stationedat Camp Grant; his senior first lieutenant,by the way, who is now in actual charge ofthe company, is William Templeton, ex-'lS.On February 15 Captain McAndrew was de- tailed to take charge of the Department ofMilitary Science at Chicago. He is a mem­ber of Phi Kappa Psi, and while an under­graduate was on the] unior College Counciland joined Skull and Crescent.Captain William McAndrewThese constant changes, however neces­sary, had an obvious effect on the morale ofthe R. O. T. C. The undergraduates feltthat the training they were receiving wasto some degree fragmentary, and not pro­gressive. In the autumn quarter the actualnumber regularly in the work fell to ] 55.This quarter it has risen to only 220. Therewas no criticism of the staff. Clark, indeed,in Major Grisard's illness, managed allair sin a fashion which would indicate that hisorganizing ability was unusual; and Carl­son in his interim of command showed ex­traordinary good sense and judgment. Butthe feeling of instability was always, pres­ent.The difficulties were immensely increasedby the conditions which always prevailamong our undergraduates in regard to thenecessity of outside work fur self-support.180 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOFew outside the university, comparativelyfew even of the alumni, appreciate this con­dition. At least fifty per cent of the men,probably many more, earn part or all oftheir way through the University. Theymust, in most cases, have their afternoonsand Saturdays for job-hunting and job-fill­ing. This being so, when were the drills tobe held? If in the morning, they conflictedwith other class-work; if in the afternoon,scores of men were shut out at once. It wasthis state of affairs which made compulsorydrill seem not feasible. Why not bothmorning and afternoon, in different sec­tions? Because no sufficient staff was avail­able.With the coming of Captain McAndrew,the situation has changed somewhat. Hisknowledge and Carlson's training beingsimultaneously available, more sections canbe given. The program as announced forthe spring quarter includes M. S. 0., with­out prerequisites, and for physical culturecredit only; and M. S. 1, 2, 3 and 4 plannedfor students of varying stages of advance­ment, and each carrying a major's credit.Lectures will be given both morning andafternoon. All drill will be either at 3 :40in the afternoon, or .Saturday morning; itis not yet possible to arrange for othermorning drills. But the much greaterelasticity of the 'arrangement would be plainto anyone who studied the schedules of thepast and the future.One final word should be added. Noreally complete program can be arrangedunless the University takes the step ofmaking military science study compulsoryfor the present. The problem of so doingis one wholly of organization. There is noobjection on the part of either students 'orfaculty, but in the quarter system and thefinancial problems of the students, there aredifficulties which have to be recognized.A matter directly connected with warservice, though not with the foregoing, isthat of giving (a) university credit to thosewho leave for service before a quarter hasended, (b) a degree to seniors who leavefor the same purpose. A committee havingthis matter in charge has received state­ments from some forty institutions, state­endowed and privately-endowed, Americanand Canadian. These statements show the most amazing diversity of practice. Forinstance, Toronto and McGill give, in effect,a year's credit, without examination, to allstudents who enter war-service and arehonorably discharged. Wisconsin offers itsdegree to all seniors who leave at any timeIn their final year for service, but the degreecontains a special clause stating the basison which it is given. Harvard, Yale, andPrinceton give no credit to students wholeave, though Harvard allows them to taketheir final examinations earlier than theregular time set; these examinations, how­ever, must cover the work planned for thewhole semester. Princeton gives all who goa 'specially designed "war certificate," whichhas no relation to a degree, but recites thepride of the University in her son who hasenlisted. Michigan gives no credit excepton special examinations, and then only tothe general amount of the hours actuallycovered in residence, with no special con­sideration to seniors. Illinois has adoptedmuch the same plan so far as amount ofcredit is concerned, but waives the specialexaminations. And so it goes. The generalstatement is that more liberality was exer­cised to men leaving last spring than is nowshown.At Chicago, up to the present time, eachindividual case has been adjudicated, so faras possible, on its apparent merits. Last.spring all seniors in their final quarter weregiven their degrees. Some lacked threemajors of graduation, some four, one fourand a half, with an appreciable deficiencyin grade points; he went into the hopper,however, and came out a Ph. B., as well asa lieutenant. The general plan has been,also, to give all men who left during a quar ...ter, credit for that quarter; if they left be­fore the middle of it, they got a minor ineach course and three (or four, if they weretaking four courses) minors in militaryscience; always provided their grades were"passing." Seniors are leaving now, how­ever, who lack more than three, or four,majors; what shall we do about them?And on what basis shall what we do bedone? Shall enlistment entitle the studentto a sort of educational bonus? Or shall wesay that the training he receives in serviceis educational, and we will, therefore, onhis return, evaluate it and give him "ad­vanced standing" to the amount we thinkSIXTEEN CAUSES OF WARhe has earned? Both plans have their ad­vocates, The objections to the former areobvious. Credit or a degree means so muchwork, over so many hours, in such and suchspecified courses. If this work is not done,does a degree cease to mean anything?That is Princeton's view. On the otherhand, what educational training does a pri­vate get, and how shall we honestly esti­mate its worth in majors?The position of the seniors, particularly,is peculiar. They have honorably advancedto a position close by their degrees. Thesedegrees they would, it is certain, secure ifthey remained. They leave through no faultof their own. If the war goes on even ayear, it is unlikely that when they returnthey will be in a position to take up collegework again. Yet conditions will be hard,and the degree they worked for will have adistinct market as well as a social value.The probability is that, as far as theseniors are concerned, Chicago will adoptsome plan based on the quality of their workin residence. If they have enough points 181to graduate, and lack three majors (or evenfour, the number they could secure in onequarter), they may be given the degree,with the idea that they would certainlyhave gained it if they had not been calledby war. If they lack more than four majors,they may be given their degrees if theyhave averaged, say, B-if they lack six, orB if they lack more than six. As far asconcerns men not seniors leaving beforecompleting the work of a quarter, a similarsliding scale, including both grade and num­ber of hours spent on the course beforeleaving, may be employed. It is fairly clearthat a man who has averaged B for sixweeks has got as much out of course asone who has averaged C for eleven.What is certainly needed is a conferenceof American universities to agree on bothprinciple and action. The situation hasnever risen before, will probably never riseagain, but means a great deal to thousandsof our young men, and ought to be metsquarely.Sixteen Causes of W arThe fourth of the war papers of the U ni­versity, now being issued in pamphlet form,is called Sixteen Causes of War, and iswritten by Professor A. C. McLaughlin,head of the Department of History. Pro­fessor McLaughlin begins:"The forces which brought on the world­wide war can be understood fully only whenwe know a long course of historical events.In the few words of this pamphlet that longprepara tion, the social and economic re­actions, and the diplomatic controversy can­not be even summarized; we must contentourselves in general with a very brief state­ment of what has taken place in the lastfour years. It is necessary to begin withthe time before America was plainly andopenly affected by European conditions ifwe would see how we became entangleduntil we had to take part in the conflict oraccept unbearable wrong and turn our backson principles that are part of our lives."He then enumerates the sixteen causesas follows:1. Germany began the war. 2. Germany began war, not for safety,but on account of am bi tion,3. Germany invaded Belgium.4. The German troops sacked Belgium.5. Germany disregarded her pledges inthe conduct of the war.'6. Germany flung aside internationallaw.7. Germany pursued the policy of ter­rorizing on the high sea.8. Germany openly defied the world.9. Germany filled our land with spies.10. Germany's conspiracy and espionagethreatened democracy.11. Germany menaced our safety.12. Germany threatened the MonroeDoctrine.13. Germany imperiled the integrity ofour nation.14. In peace and war Germany threat­ened the peace of the world.15. Germany made the world unsafe fordemocracy.16. Germany's conduct and principlesconflict with any plan of world-organizationfor peace.182 , UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOThe pamphlet, as Professor McLaughlinsays, consists of illustrations, not of proofs.His method of presenting his facts may beshown by giving his treatment of pointnumber eleven - Germany menaced oursafety:"We came to see that German success inthe war meant attack, perhaps immediateattack, upon ourselves. A thoroughly tri­umphant Germany almost surely imperiledus. Again, this danger will seem somewhatfantastic to anyone who has not carefullyread, watched, and studied during the lastthree and a half years; but Germany's needof indemnities to replenish her resourceswould at least conceivably tempt a victory­drunk government to pounce upon our coastcities. Be that as it may, a victorious Ger ...many was sure to be our enemy. Possiblyonly the student of psychology of militar­ism will see why she should be our enemy;but most of us now have some slight kriowl­edge of that psychology. It rests, not onthe basis of friendliness or good-naturedrivalry, but on intrigue and force, on thesupposition that a rival must be beateneither by foul means or by fair, open bru­tality-if not by intrigue, then by war.German .leaders (for all the way throughI have in mind the predatory classes) in­cluded America in the "Anglo-Saxon block"-:-the British and ourselves+-whose up build­ing endanged, they believed, the extensionof their own power. Not that there was any block, with political aims or secret pur­poses; but Anglo-Saxon progress was sup­posed to rival or overreach Germanicworld-influence, not to say power. We camewithin the scope of their world-policies:First, der Tag, the day in which the Britishfleet should be beaten (happily still a dis­tant day), and then America, peace-besotten,incoherent, incautious, and unwise, shouldbe taken in hand. Noone can ser iouslysuppose that a successful Pan-Germanystretching from the North Sea, where shetoday holds Norway, Denmark and Hol­land by fear and holds Belgium in her icygrip, down to and across the Bosphorusand over Asia Minor-no one can seriouslysuppose that that nation would suddenlybecome peaceful and law-abiding and bewilling to live decently with other nations,when she has hesitated at nothing odiousin her war of conquest and has trampled onthe rights of distant nations like ourselves."Three pamphlets have been so far issued,The Threat of German World-Politics, byPresident Judson; A mericans and the W orld­Crisis, by Professor Albion W. Small; andthis of Professor McLaughlin. Number 3,Democracy, the Basis of a World-Order, byF. D. Bramhall, '02, instructor in PoliticalScience, is in preparation. They are receiv­ing wide circulation, and their value is great.Professor McLaughlin goes to Englandearly in April to lecture on the war, at therequest of the government.The Novaes-Maxwell ConcertOn April 3rd, at 8 :15, at Mandel Hall,the N ovaes-Maxwell concert will be givenunder the auspices of the Sigma Club ofthe University of Chicago, for their annualbenefit for the Trade School of the Univer­sjty of Chicago Settlement.

Heis, however, thef rst scientist tohold the presi­dency of theAmerican Asso­ciation of Uni­versity Profes­sors, his twopredecessors be­ing- John Dewey,pro f e s s 0 r ofphilosophy a tColumbia (for­merly at Chi­cago),andFrankThilly, professorof philosophy atCornell. Mr.Coulter is theonly man whohas eve!" helds i m u I taneouslythe headship oftwo national professorial associations. Mr.Coulter is so well known that to restatehis educational past here seems almostfoolish, .but co�vention seems to call forit. Graduated A .. B. from Hanover College (Indiana) in 1870, he received the A. M.from the same institution three years later,and the Ph. D. from both Hanover andIndiana University III 1882. He wasprofessor of Na­tural Sciences inHanover fro m1874 to 1879; ofBiology in Wa­hash from 1879to 1891, andpresident of andpro f e s s 0 r ofBotany in In­diana Universityfrom 1891 to1893. Doubtlessattracted by theWorld's Fa i r,he left Indianafor Illinois in1893, and hasremained in ourstate ever sinceas president ofLake For estCollege fro m1893 to 1896,and as head ofthe Universityof Chicago, De­par t men t ofBotany, sin c ethat time. Hehas been twicepresident of theAmerican Bo­tanical Societyin 1897 and in1915, editor ofthe Botanical Gazette for forty-three years,and member of various scientific societies\0.0 numerous to mention. Considering hisage and attainments, Professor Coulter ISprobably the youngest man in the: country.184 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEOn the QuadranglesImportance attaches itself in this reviewto the "Portfolio" of the \'Y. A A. the elec­tion of Honor Commission and Undergrad­uate Council representatives; the whaling ofthe Illini basket-tossers by our own five;the twenty-first Washington Promenade;and the plans of the University dramaticclub, which, casting off its cocoon of inertiaand comercialism, is getting down to busi­ness with a vengeance.The "Portfolio" (heretofore the "Cam­pus Follies") was given by the local W. A.A. February 15 in Mandel Hall, three­fourths of the proceeds going- to the Y. M.C. A. war fund, It consisted of a dramaticskit, a double pianologue, a vaudeville act,and a cantata for speaking voices, this lastbeing Vachel Lindsay's "Chinese Nightin­gale." According to the review printed in"Maroon," Miss Frances Hessler was thestar of the thing, acting "in manner almostprofessional and having of the stuff thatputs things across." To further quote thereview: "It proved a much a better enter­tainment than last year; its coaches andstaff worked hard; it showed ability, snap,and a decided effort at real entertainment."Dorothy Lardner was general manager forthe "Portfolio"; Dorothy Scholle, businessmanager.February 8 saw several prominent campus­ites elected to the Honor Commission and theUndergraduate Council. The Council:(] uniors) George Martin, Charles Greene,Marion Llewellyn; (Sophomores) FrankLong, Eleanor Atkins; (Freshmen) MarionAmy, John Prosser. Honor Commission:(Juniors) George Otis, Frank Breckenridge,Arline Falkenau, Gladys Gordon; (Sopho­mores) Leona Bachrach, Jasper King, GeraldWestby; (Freshmen) Edythe Flack, Mar­garet Robinson, William Ducker. Of thoseJuniors elected Greene is a member of PhiKappa Psi, Iron Mask, Blackfriars, and isnews editor of the "Maroon"; Martin is amember of Psi Upsilon and Iron Mask;Miss Llewellyn is a member of MortarBoard; Breckenridge is a member of theUndergraduate Council, Iron Mask, Chi Psiand is manager of the 1918 Blackfriars andvice-president of the local Y. M. C. A;Otis is captain of the 1918 cross-country team, a member of the varsity track team,Iron Mask and Delta Upsilon; Miss Falk­enau is chairman of several Junior commit­tees and a member of Quadranglers, andMiss Gordon is a member of Mortar Board.You will be interested to know that onFebruary 2 the Maroon basketball team"overwhelmed the niini with dazzling floorwork and skill." The words are those ofa Maroon "head" writer, but the fact re­mains. This victory put Chicago in therunning again and was responsible for agreat many peppy doings about campus.As to the dramatic club, on March 8 and9 in Mandel Hall it will present a revivalof "Fashion�" an ear ly American play, firstproduced in New York City in 1845. TheUniversity, the Drama League of Chicago,and a great many interested off-campus.people are backing the venture and itseems as if the club at last was about toredeem itself. The play is being directedand produced by Glen Millard, '19, withassistance from Dean Boynton. Those inthe cast are: Dorothy Scholle, Emily Taft,Lee Ettleson, Margaret Haggot, Ruth Mal­lory, Marion Palmer, Frederick Nipper,Carlin Crandall, Irving Wills, Mr. FrankAbbott (of the Romance Department), andMaurice DeKoven. Millard has done adeal of professional stage work; has beenimportant in the doings of the club here­abouts; is an officer in the local R. O. T. c.,and is a member of Beta Theta Pi.The "Prom" this year was an economicalaffair. Flowers and cabs were prohibited.The number of couples present was 175.The usual midnight supper was also absentas a help-Hoover measure. The leaderswere Carleton Adams with Rosemary Carr,and Charles Cottingham with Flor.enceKilvary. Adams is a member of Owl andSerpent, Psi Upsilon, and has been promi­nent in Blackfriars. He is a Prior in Friarsand president of the Honor Commission.Miss Carr is a University Aide and is amember of Esoteric. Cottingham is amember of Owl and Serpent and of ChiPsi. Miss Kilvary is a member of Nu PiSigma and a University Aide.On interest is the founding of a new fra­ternity for negroes on the campus. KappaON THEr QUAPR4NGLESAlpha Psi, a national negro frater nity, wasinstalled on February 9. The charter meni�bers are G. K. Lewis, j. c. M�ili�o�" W.: E.Green, William Beatty, A. o. Jeffries, N.Willis, and E. G. Brown. They' plan tohave a chapter house near the U niversitysoon.The fraternities, on January 22, startedtheir annual bowling tournament, but itwas cancelled as an "economic war meas­ure" by the Undergraduate Council twoweeks later. It is estimated that over twohundred dollars will thus "not be wasted."Dunlap Clark, '17, who for the pastmonth has been in charge of the local R.O. T. C. (Major Grisard being ill) left re­cently for the balloon aviation school atOmaha, where, after a period of training,he will be commissioned in that division ofthe service. Eugene Carlson, '18, succeedsClark as cadet major of the R. O. T. c., andon February 9 the war department sent tous as commandant of the corps, Capt. Wil­liam McAndrew, a one-time student here,and lately of the 341st N. A. Infantry atCamp Grant. Major Grisard has been re­lieved and ordered south for his health.A patriotic mass meeting was held inMandel Hall February 7. The chief speakerfor the state was Lieut. Andrew Naismith,a Canadian officer, recently inval ided homeafter two trying years under fire over there.A jackie band from the Great Lakes helpedinject the necessary pep and the "Maroon'generously characterized the meeting bysaying that "enthusiasm ran riot."The Y. M. C. A. cabinet for the winter 185quarter, as provided for by the. new admin­istrative organization, includes WalterEarle, president; Frank Breckenridge, vice­president, and Crandall Rogers, secretary.Blackfriars has finally broken the ··longsilence. The annual comic opera will notbe given this Spring. I quote from a state­ment by Sherman Cooper, Abbot, asprinted in the "Maroon:" "The time, workand money usually spent in producing ashow represent, as far as the war is con­cerned, almost complete waste. . . . Thefrivolity which the Friar show presentsbrings up the question of propriety in wartime. Our performance would nothave been canceled unless it seemed anabsolute necessity. It is one of thesacrifices Blackfriars and the student bodyare making toward a successful prosecu­tion of this war." The campus is sorry, ofcourse, but seems to uphold the decisionand maintains that Friars have the rightidea.Miscellaneous happenings are these:Score Club capered about Rosalie Hall J an­uary 24; Maroon debaters defeated Michi­gan, the judges being unanimous in theirvote; thrift stamps sold to the tune of $147in one week; the various classes have heldconstant activities that included tea, danc­ing, and jazz bands; and great excitementwas caused when one morning it was dis­covered that S.

A part of theAbbott collection, however, reached thehands of Mr. Thomas L. Learning of Phila­delphia, before the Civil War. There theywere recently accidentally found by theDirector of Haskell Museum, ProfessorJames Henry Breasted, as part of the pet�sonal property of an estate about to besold, and they were acquired by the U ni­versity of Chicago.

Itwas in a narrow cobbled street lined withtumbled ruins and the charred skeletons ofhomes. In the midst of these grim sur­roundings the sight of her Yankee face, thefirst I'd seen in six months, was most wel­come. She was engaged in some sort ofrelief work. What did she think of it all,I was anxious to know."Oh," she exclaimed, her eyes bright withexcitement, "I'm having the time of mylife!"Around the corner ther e trudges a de­tachment of poilus, just from the trenches.Men of middle age: some with their strag- gling mustaches tinged with gray; backsbent under the heavy loads of packs;musettes, hidons, rifles, horizon blue cas­ques and coats splotched with mud. Aftertheir long watch and six kilos this mortl­ing, their drawn gray faces and tired ex­pressionless eyes show no interest in thetwo Americans."Oh," says the American Relief worker,"isn't it thrilling!"Tonight with my poilu companions atour popote, I know how far from my owncountry I have come.C. I.e Roy Baldridge, '11.THE LETTER BOX 189The Letter BoxIn France, Jan. 26, 1918.To the Editor:I've sent you two or three screeds fromover here, but never no more! I've beencensoring letters since I hit this regiment(every second lieutenant gets it, so the jobis no tribute to my fancied journalistic apti­tude for reading copy), and I certainly feelthat the old bromide about brevity and withas new life and meaning. Therefore,brevity, if not wit, will characterize this com­munication.First - personalities. They finally gotthrough chasing me to school (every chaseinvolved a night trip-sitting up, because"wagon-lits," I suppose aren't, I've seenone in France) and turned me over as anexpert in telephone and radio, to a regiment.I am now an officer d'antennae, or radio of­ficer, and it's some job. Just like every otherradio officer in the army I have a little flockof amateur sharks, and only furious nightstudy enables me to keep one jump aheadof them. I have Professor Millikan's bestseller on electricity, sound and light at myelbow, and I got the following formula:p == 2 7T' V L C out of an Electrician's Hand­book I saw lying about in school, and withthis material I throw out a lot of camou­flage and keep them from plumbing thedepths of my abysmal ignorance.It's a gay life over here. Getting backwith the army means getting into seas ofmud, work early and late, worry galore;but it also means American food-partic­ularly breakfast instead of petit dejeuner,and white bread-so I think the two thingsset off against each other pretty well-par­ticularly so since the American army hasn'tyet 'discovered that rabbits are classed asedible. If ever anyone offers me rabbitback home, I'll go through the roof-s-it'sabout all I ate in France while in the handsof the French. I even had it thrown at mein the wagon restaurant during table d'hotehours, so I had to eat it or go hungry.I see by the papers that Rudy Matthewsconnected-and in artillery, too! That'sgreat news. Being a "wagon soldier" my­self, I hated to see the way Yale grabbedoff our arm of the service, while all ourChicagoans trooped into the infantry. Butthen I suppose the infantrymen will leapdown my throat and tell me to let Yalehave the artillery-that the infantry doesthe work in this war; so perhaps Td betterdeliver further congratulations to Matthewspersonally.And now I'll chop it off, in conformitywith my promise, and in order to securepeace of mind. This latter considerationarises from the fact that I adopted a sug­gestion and put on a gas mask and a five­pound "tin hat" in order to write this letter under proper influences; my gas mask isgetting used up and is stifling me (it's theone I used all through the various' "gass­ings" they gave us at the schools) and Ihave looked up and seen that the metallicringing noises I have heard have beencaused by one of my jocular roommates,who has been beating me on the head withan ax. He can't get through the bonnet,but he might hit the edge and so give myneck a nasty wrench-therefore I shall quitand remove temptation from his path.Best regards to you, personally, and anymutual acquaintances-and here's to a re­union of Chicago men in Berlin!Martin D. Stever s,2nd Lt., F. A., U. S. A.Hdqrs. Co., 103rd F. A.Section 579-U. S. Army AmbulanceService, Allentown, Pa.To the Editor:Here I am turning up again, so long awayfrom the University that I don't knowwhether I can write a "regular" letter anymore or not. Well, I won't try to do that,but I have been thinking so much latelyof old friends and associations at the U. ofC. that I am sure writing to you will makeme feel better. I shall do my best at anintelligent letter, but it will be very diffi­cult-there is a first-class boxing-matchgoing at full blast right behind me here inthe barracks, and a very musical boy at thepianola. Do you know that piece: "WhenYankee-Doodle Learns to Parleyvous Fran­cais?"You will be surprised, perhaps, to seethat I am still in this country. Last AugustI hurried East to enlist, as you know. Idecided finally to enter the AmbulanceService, and came up to the ConcentrationCamp at Allentown, where I entered theBrown Universit.y Section. We expectedat that time to be ordered across immedi­ately, and were completely equipped forshipment overseas. But week after weekwent by and nothing happened, and wefinally settled down for the winter. Andhere we still ate and prospects for' goingacross are as indefinite as ever.In the letter you wrote me shortly aftermy return to West Chester, you hinted thatmy military experiences might be of rathera monotonous nature. You were right;they have been just that. I am not so sureafter all that we have not been in a wayfortunate, for we are warm and well fedon this side, not struggling through arough winter over there. Of course, if wewere in demand it would be different. Ihear from the Rogers boys, and they saythat so far their work has been rather quiet190 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEand far from the strenuous and exciting lifethat such books as "Ambulance No. 10" and"Friends of France" would lead one to sup­pose. There will be no more sent from AI.;.lentown, I imagine, before spring, and ifthis damnable war comes to an end thissummer, perhaps not at all.During our long wait we have had ampleopportunity to become acquainted with oneof the most curious cities in the country.Allentown is in the Pennsylvania Dutchdistrict, and its natives are just the type ofpeople a daily diet of sausage and sauer­kraut would naturally breed. They are quiteimpossible, but very good-natured, andperfectly harmless. Perhaps you saw Mrs.Fiske once in "Erstwhile Susan." Thatstory was laid in Allentown. They use the'queerest English in the world, from thegrocer who tells me "It is al1 anymore," toa friend of mine, a little Miss , whoasks me in perfect good faith and withmuch stress on the verb: "Are you herelong?"There are a good many people, on theother hand, who have come here to live fromother places. One who has been very goodto us all came originally from Chicago, andis the daughter of Dr. Gunsaulus .. The Uni­versity of Chicago section has very dis ..tinctly made good out here. The men areamong the best in camp and are very wellliked by the other men and by the people ofthe town.They have put me to work fortunately,and I am trying to teach here at camp theIittle French I have managed to remember.Each section is required to take an hour ofFrench every day. It is interesting, espe­cially among the non-college men, who arevery quick to catch on, as a rule, and .whomake quite as rapid progress as the reg­ular college sections. I have been appointedsection interpreter, and have been trying tobrush up my German a little, and also to'pick up a smattering of Italian. It was onthe strength of this, I suppose, that I wasrecommended for a commission, althoughthat by no means indicates that I shall everreceive one; things seem to move so slowlyhere that I am quite sure the war will beover before anything like that comes myway. Milton H. Stansbury,(Graduate Student 1915-17.)January 15, 1917.Ordnance Dept., N. A.,.TJ. S. P. O. N o. 706,,. ,; , A. E. F. via N e,w York City.To the Editor:,Recently I asked Bourke Corcoran to re­quest that: my copy of the Alumni Magbe � serit to Jhe above address, Since writingthat- 'letter I have, seen the I informationblanks Mr. Robertson is sending out, al­though i.L have not received one. PossiblyI .can .furnish you with information for theAlumni Association records and his. I enlisted with Mr. Marshal1's first Ord­nance group on june 18 and was called intoservice and ordered to report at Rock IslandArsenal July 22 .. On September 13 I wastransferred to Watervliet Arsenal, NewYork and remained there until November25, when I was ordered overseas.After reporting at Rock Island we weresoon joined by fifty other men from Michi­gan and Wisconsin. As the Captain re­marked, it was the queerest gang of pri­vates he had ever dealt with. But we didour best to conform with our notions ofwhat a private should be, and the officerswere tolerant. But when we reported atWatervliet we found that our efforts hadbeen poorly directed. The officers there hadjust graduated from Fort Sheridan and thedefinition of an enlisted man (most of ushad been made sergeants before we leftR. 1.) had become seriously perverted inits travel from West Point to the northshore suburb. But we took what they hadto offer and called it "experience"-why isit that a college man always takes that stuffas experience? I have found a lot of themsince and they all call it that. But it wasgood training, and my recommendation tothe Trustees is that they hold up thediplomas until the men can get a little ofthe training of this sort, but it "took" andwe became vastly better soldiers. The Ord­nance department does not prescribe thatits men shall receive much more militarytraining than is necessary to enable themto master the salute, but we had the greatfortune to work under a man who believedthat a member of any department 'shouldknow the fundamentals of military science,and he proceeded to impart it. Our sched­ule began at 5 :45 a. m. and ended at 10 p.m., and included four hours of drill, sema­phore practice, interior guard manual, andtactical hikes, in addition to classes inOrdnance storeskeeping and accounting.When orders came for overseas duty, wehad the satisfaction of having him tell uswe were fairly well trained soldiers, andfrom observation of the other staff troopshere, I believe we were.Before leaving Watervliet I had the for­tune to read the October edition of theMagazine in which Martin Stevers told ofthe trip across the Atlantic as viewed byan officer, and I had been hoping to tell itfrom the standpoint of an enlisted man;but a queer distinction made betwe.en .en­listed men of Grade' 17 and those 'below, bywhich the former are entitled to better ac­commodations, makes this impossible. Iagree with everything Martin says with theexception of that class in French conver­sation. I do not" believe there was one onour transport, although they are really anecessity over here. If there is one thingI cannot forgive you for now and one thingwhich would have given me a better firstimpression (L'rn a great believer in 'the in ...adequacy of first impressions, anyhow), itTHE LETTER BOX 191is the first words you spoke to me when Iintrepidly approached you for registration,October 1, 1913. As I remember it, you de­cided that I had better take a foreign lan­guage and you asked me what I had had.I replied that I had taken two years of Ger­man and you prescribed German 4. Youdisplayed poor insight; why didn't you giveme French I?We have had the fortune to be associatedwith a fine lot of men, and until I camehere to the general headquarters I havebeen constantly with the men from Chi­cago. At present, Harry Gorgas, HaroldA. Moore, Wallace Miller, Donald Swett,Joe Day and John Donahoe are the onlyChicago men here. I understand that Cap­tain Barrett Andrews, ex-Chicago, is at­tached to headquarters, but as far as Iknow, there are no other Chicago men here.All the men have proven themselves, andthe majority are as far advanced in the non­com ranks as they can go. Perhaps Mr.Marshall was right when he said that themen going into the Ordnance departmenthad a wider field before them than the mengoing to the training camps-at times wehave doubted and still we are rather skep­tical, but we went into it firmly believingin him and these are no times to lose faithin anything. Certainly we have been faringwell, our housing, mess and treatment haveheen excellent, and we haven't a kick com­ing.My observations of the French country­side have been made through the doors ofa box car (and the French box cars are notto be compared with our palatious side-doorPullmans) and the dirty windows of a third­class coach, and I cannot say that it is muchto rave about-it is unique, but it is iden- tical mile after mile, and the uniqueness issoon replaced by monotony. The townsare wretched, dirty and poorly improved.The country is miles behind the good oldU. S. and I haven't found an American whowould not sell the whole works for a nickelif he owned it. It is all right to travel aboutand sightsee and picture knights and Joand'Arcs riding down the street, but when youare required to consider it as a temporaryhome for an indefinite period, it is not quiteas appealing. The French people are aredeeming feature, though. Outside of theshopkeepers who evidently are starting toamass fortunes by soaking the Americans.they are extremely likable and wonderfullybrave. Of course, by now, they have learnedto take the war as a matter of course, buteven those who have recently been bereavedare just as sincere in their belief in thecause as they ever were. I hope it does nottake the same training as the French haveundergone to make the American peoplewake up, but until they do, I am convincedthat we shall not attain our full effective­ness.Needless to say, one of the things wemiss most is the lack of information ofwhat is going on at home, and the Univer­sity constitutes a large part of "home." AtWatervliet we got the usual dope on thefootball season and I can truthfully saythat something was lacking as we passedthose autumn Saturday afternoons. TheAlumni Mag is bound to fill part of the gap.The rest of the men join me in sendingbest wishes for a happy New Year to ourfriends in the University community.Sincerely yours,Bernard C. Newman, '17.Sergeant, 1st CI.The picture shows the "C" men in Hos­pital Unit 13, now a,t Fort McPherson,Geor�ia.

We feel that the need forsupport in civilian relief work just now isas imperative a one as the war work, andwe feel that we have placed our interest ina field eminently worth while.Since Christmas we have decided to havemonthly meetings and we believe we canarouse enough enthusiasm to assure us ofgood attendance of members. We weremuch interested in learning of the - possi­bility of University representatives being inour vicinity during the spring and especiallyif any of them would be willing to tell usof the Alumni work in other localities. Iam voicing the expression of all the In­dianapolis Alumni when I hereby extend amost cordial invitation to any University ofChicago representative who would come toIndianapolis to talk to us. If notified in ad­vance, we feel sure we could assure a goodattendance at the meeting. We would wel­come any alumnus or faculty member mostheartily.Hoping to bear from you in case 'such anarrangement is made, I am,Very sincerely yours,(Signed) HELEN HARE,Secretary, Indianapolis Association ofChicago Alumni.194 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINENews of the ClassesEdward C.

A letterdated December ;22, received by J 01111Moulds, '07, some time after his death, saysthat he was in excellent health, and wasplanning a reunion with a number of alumniin China.Mathews was born January 10, 1885, andlived ill Marquette, Michigan. In collegehe was a member of the freshman footballand track teams, on the varsity track teamthree years, and the cross-country team four,being captain in his senior year; was seniorclass treasurer, managing editor of the DailyMaroon, and a member of Owl and Serpent.After receiving his degree, he became theWashington correspondent of the ChristianScience Monitor, holding that position forfour years, and achieving great success.When he left, many favorable commentswere made by metropolitan newspapers onhis work, and he was referred to as one ofthe most able of the correspondents inWashington.On leaving the journalistic field, he be­came associated with Robert Dollar, thehead of the Dollar Steamship Company, andin the autumn of 1916 went to Tientsin,China, .as the representative of the Dollar line. In his work there he was as success­ful as in the newspaper field, and was onthe way to promotion. A short time ago,in the company of six soldiers and a gangof coolies, he made a trip into the interiorof China, striking deeper into the heart ofthe country than a white man had ever donebefore, inspecting mines.One brother, Abe, Jr., and two sisters,Frances and Mary, are alumni of Chicago,and a third sister, Marjorie, is now anundergraduate.No one who knew Mathews could over­look or forget the sturdy friendliness of hisR. Eddy Mathews, '07character. In track athletics he was an in­spiration to all men, the kind of man thatcoaches appreciate; he never wearied oitrying; never started a race that he didnot finish, and never finished withoutgiving all he had. Since graduation hehad been keenly interested in alumni af­fairs. Efforts were made at one time tosecure him for the secretaryship of theassociation and editorial conduct of theMagazine, but he felt that his work layelsewhere. Few men had more friends, oras well deserved them.ATHLETICS 203AthleticsTrack.-The team has had two tryouts,beating Purdue 47-33 -at Lafayette on Feb.8, and scoring 14 points in the A. A. U.meet at Patten Gymnasium, Evanston, onFeb. 22. They won the mile relay at Evans­ton in 3 :30%, without the services of Cur­tis, '19, the best man, who was off with thebasket ball team. Purdue requested thatthe relay be omitted.At Purdue Chicago qualified all four menin the 40-yard dash finals. Buchman, '20,was given the decision in 41i, though Feuer­stein, '18, and Henry, '19, were practicallytied with him, and Annan, '19, was close up.Buchman also took second in the 40-yardhurdles, Ames, '19, falling. Chicago scoredanother slam in the quarter, Curtis winningin 56Y,5, with: Annan and Kennedy, '20, twoor three yards back. J ones of Purdue wasbeaten for ty yards, which would indicatethat again Chicago has a nice little groupof quarter-milers. Greene, '19, was beatena foot by Newman of Purdue in the half,time 2:07%. Fighting with his team-mate,Lewis, Greene was twenty-five yards be­hind N ewrnari on the next to Tast lap, butalmost made it up. Lewis was third. Me­Cosh, '19, turned the tables in the mile, win­ning from Newman of Purdue very easilyin 4 :321i. Cox, '20, was a poor third. Otis,'19, ran away with the two-mile,. lapping thePurdue men twice and breaking the gym­nasium record in 9 :49}5.The field events were another story.Feuerstein, '18, was second in the highjump, doing five feet six inches; Earle, '18,captain of the swimming team, who hadbeen pressed into service, tied for first inthe vault with ten feet, the first time he hadever vaulted in competition, and Jackson,'20, and Grossman, '20, took second andthird in the shot-put, Jackson doing 36 feet5 � inches and Grossman 34 feet 80 inches.At Evanston, besides Chicago's victoryin the relay, McCosh won the mile from 25yards in 4 :28, and Otis was second in thespecial mile invitation, won by J oie Rayin 4 :24}:5. This is the fifth big race in ninemonths that Otis has competed in, and thefifth time he has been second. Buchmanwas. fourth in the low hurdles. Feuerstein fourth in the dash, and Ames third in thehigh hurdles, all handicap events.There seems no reason to doubt thatChicago will be the strongest team in theconference in the track events, and one ofthe weakest in the field events.Basketbal1.-Standing of the conferenceteams February 24th:Won.

The Illinois game was rather adogged exhibition, full of loose play andrather rough; afflicted also by an umpirewho evidently regarded himself as the realcenter of attraction, and called fouls withbeautiful impartiality on everybody on bothteams, sending out Vollmer, '20, and Mittle­man of Illinois with four each. But theWisconsin game was a real humdinger, thefastest and cleanest since Pat Page's ownday. Chandler, Wisconsin's captain, gotonly one goal, Gorgas, '19, making him looklike a novice. Vollmer, '19, played his poor­est game of the season, but the other fourmade up. Hinkle, '20, was the best man onthe floor, shot four baskets and guardedlike Cerherus, and Blocki, '20, also gave apretty exhibition. The game was a triumphfor Page's style of play, as the Wisconsinteam used the short pass with extremehandiness, but seldom got near enough tothe basket to accomplish a throw. Thespeed, especially of the second half, wasdazzling.Of the men individually. Vollmer has not fulfilled his early promise. If Bryan had notso weakened his ankle as to be usable onlya short time in each game, Chicago wouldbe pretty nearly unheatable. He went inthe last ten minutes of both the Illinois andWisconsin games, and against Illinois notonly guarded beautifully, but shot the twobaskets that won the game. Against Wis­consin his guarding had the same fire, buthe missed both of the only two shots hehad for the basket. Gorgas is steady andstrong and Hinkle is everywhere on thefloor.Swimming.-The only meet held up toFebruary 24th was against the Grand Rap­ids Y. M. C.

Anew kind of soft drink in flavor and in itscereal ingredients-a soft drink that shouldbe nutritious as well as delicious-pure andwholesome.The idea took root-it was cultivated, experimentedwith, tended with all the care and skill that sciencecould apply. For four years this work went on andthen finally about a year ago there sprang into beingBevo-the drink triumphant.Less than two months after its introduction Bevo hadleaped into such popularity that even our already largefacilities could not supply the demand.The result is that soon will be completed (built bypublic demand) the largest plant of itskind in the world-daily bottling capacity,2,000,000 bottles.You will find Bevo at all places whererefreshing beverages are sold.
