Thomas and Florian Znaniecki, who isnow giving courses at Chicago. The wholework is to be in five volumes, of which thefirst two are now ready. They comprise astudy, in over eleven hundred pages, of theorganization of the peasant primary groups(family and commune), and of the partialevolution of this system of organizationunder the influence of the new industrialsystem and of immigration to America andGermany. The materials are selected fromabout 15,000 peasant letters (many of themfrom America) and Volume I contains ageneral introduction of 250 pages. The thirdvolume will be the autobiography of a Polish peasant, with a minute view of Polishpeasant character and customs. Volume fourcontains a great deal of material on radicaland revolutionary movements among thePoles. Volume five is based on studies ofthe Polish immigrant and has a special bearing on the question of our immigrationpolicy after the war. All the materials havethe interest of the "human document" in itsmost naive form. � (The University of Chicago Press; Vols. I and II, now ready,$5.50; not sold separately.)Anyone who has a child in school willhe interested in an elaborate report onScientific Method in the Reconstruction ofNinth-Grade Mathematics, prepared by HaroldO. Rugg, Assistant Professor of Educationin the University, and ]. R. Clark, teacherof mathematics in the Harper High School.The whole problem of teaching mathematicsin the grades makes the poor parent a social revolutionist. Why should his child beso badgered about inessentials and emergeso unacquainted with either the principlesor the processes of rapid and accurate reasoning and calculation? Prof. Rugg andMr. Clark have been experimenting since1913. Now they suggest herein a completely reconstructed course of study as an outcome of tabular analyses of both school andoccupational needs and a careful study ofthe psychological outcomes of instruction.This is more than a report on standardizedtests in secondary mathematics. It is anevaluation of the measuring movement ineducation, and sets forth a systematic program for future procedure. (The U niversity of Chicago Press: $1.0'0.)Edwin P. Hubble, '10, was awarded aRhodes Scholarship at Oxford; returned toChicago, where he took his doctor's degree;attended the first training camp at FortSheridan, and was made a captain in artillery; has since been promoted to major. /N ow from Camp Grant he looks on benev- olently at the appearance of his PhotographicInvestigations of Faint Nebulae, which appears as Vol. IV, No.2, of the publicationsof the Yerkes Observatory. Hubble wascaptain of the track team, and on occasion,in the high jump, struck the stars with hissublime head. This volume is, however, theresult of more recent and more scientificstudy. (The University of Chicago Press:$1.00.)Elizabeth E. Miller, instructor in Art inthe School of Education, has written a shortbook on The Dramatisation of Bible Stories.I ts purpose is to show teachers how to present such material most effectively. It isa presentation of the methods and resultsof dramatic work that has been carried onfor several years by the author in adaptingthe striking Biblical stories for presen tation by children. The book presents goodreasons for leading children to dramatizegreat religious stories; it develops the process of creating a drama from a Biblicalstory; shows stories in all stages of developmen t by children engaged in theirdramatization; and suggests simple andpractical directions for staging. (The University of Chicago Press: $1.00.)Among recent reprints by the Press aretwo volumes by alumni. One is The Story ofthe New Testament, by Edgar J. Goodspeed,B. D., '97, 'Ph. D., '98. The book is a straightforward account of just what its title indicates, written with the skill that makes allof Edgar Goodspeed's work readable,whether it is serious, as here, or in [eu« d' esprit. The other is Elements of Debating, byL. S. Lyon, '10. Lyon coached the JolietHigh School debating teams for some yearswi th steady success. He is now an instructor in economics at Chicago. The bookis about the clearest and simplest explanation "how to debate" on tlre market. Bothare published by the University of Chicago Press '($1.00 each).Alumni who do not own Dr. Goodspeed'sHistory of the University of Chicago are cutting themselves off from the only reallysignificant source of information about theUniversity's past. The history is perhapsmost valuable on the period of founding,1887-1892; but the elaborate account of thefirst year is the most dramatic chapter.There are twenty-two full-page illustrations, the finest. series concerning the uni-- versity yet produced. It is a big book, allof value. Dr. Goodspeed is still, thoughnow retired, in his regular health and vigor.Perhaps he will write his autobio.graphysome day-as here he has written it in part,for he was intimately concerned- in theUniversity's. history.

They S14pport the Magazi1le!Hawley Brownell Olmstead, '17, was the first student of the University, and theonly one, 50 far as information has yet been received, to die for his country in France.The following extract is from a letter written by Olmstead to his father shortly hefore America declared war a year ago. He enlisted immediately on the declarationof war.III saw by the paper tonight that three more American ships have been sunk. How long, r won de r-,shall we remain the moron among nations, the nation without decision, without honor, and without moralcourage? We have grown so soft and flabby; we chant songs of peace and utter moral platitudes, while themost rapacious, bloodthirsty, barbarous, and damnable force that the world has seen, seeks to Quench in itsmadness the lights of liherty, of honor, and of truth."If we must bow before the dictum that lnight makes right, that peace maintained through loss of personal honor is peace worth having, then-very good. But if we have faith in the advancement of humanity,in the purposefulness of the universe in which we live. tben might does not make right. We must stand onone side or the other, for one cannot straddle a moral issue. If we sit comfortably by and watch Englandand France, the upholders of democracy, go down, then we have shown tIle world t1131 we accept the Germandoctrine, and the principles for which our fathers. fought, when they carved out this nation-that those principles have left our consciousness."Belgium was offered peace, peace with material reward, but with dishonor. She made her glorious decis ion. She was crucified, and suffered as no other nation of the modern world has suffered, but she did morefor civilization in those few days than the nation that so foully attacked her has ever done, and she will livein the memory of all the world as the savior of Europe."Germany bas broken every law of humanity. She has outraged women, and murdered non-combatants.Led by a mad emperor, and a vicious prince, she has iorfeited all consideration and should be treated likethe outlaw that she is. This is more than a war for democracy, it is a war for RIGHT-a war that virtue,liberty, and righteousness 'may not perish from the earth.' It is our duty to stand by the right, to throwour weight into the balance, come what may. We must show the world that America can yet distinguishright from wrong, that the character of her people has not disintegrated, and that she has the will to act. andwill to set her hand to the sword, and carry with it the message that the pen has failed to give."University of ChicagoMagazineTheVOLUME X No.6APRIL, 1918Events and DiscussionTwo hundred and nine received degrees,titles, and certificates at the One Hundredand Sixth Convoca-The March tion held on March 19.Convocation Sixty-nine received thetitle of Associate, andeigh t the cer tificate of the College of Education.

The degree, which wasgranted in 1911 at the occasion of evonBernstorff's acting as Convocation orator,was revoked by the University authoritiesand the announcement made by PresidentJudson at the recent Convocation. Theaction taken by the University authoritieswas not inspired by the fact that the UnitedStates is now at war with the German Empire. The degree was revoked because ofvon B ernstorff' s actions prior to his dismissal. These were contrary to the Constitution and laws of the United States,and as such, in the opinion of the U niversity authorities, necessitated the revocationof the degree.Announcement is made that ProfessorFrank Bigelow Tarbell, of the Departmentof the History of Art,Professor Tarbell after twenty-five yearsTo Retire of service in the U ni-versity has at his ownrequest been retired, his retirement to takeeffect on April 1.

If theA Half-BrotherTo Delay alumni will try to ap-pr-eciate the difficultiesof the editor they will be able to keep someof the bitterness out of their complaints.Teaching, administration work, "outside work for self-support," as it is euphemistically called, pile up. The printers are alwayscrowded now, and the sort of magazine thismust be, which does not allow of materialin stock, but must be kept as fresh aspossible month by month, make prearrangement very difficult.

Bramhall, '02, is the thirdin the series of the University of ChicagoWar Papers. "I want," says Mr. Bramhall,"to try to indicate in what sense it is truethat Germany stands as the chief enemy ofdemocracy; how it is impossible for her, solong as that enmity lasts, to be a goodneighbor in the world, and how that is thechief obstacle to our American hope forpeace and world-order."Germany in its organized capacity standsfor autocracy. This is not the time to discuss in detail German imperial institutions.They have been much discussed during thiswar, both intelligently and unintelligently.A Reichstag based, it is true, on universalsuffrage, but i in a positive sense endowedwith little power and elected from districtsnone of which have been changed since1870, and most of them not since 1867, in spite of the fact that the movement of population has been greater and more politically significant in the Germany of the lastgeneration and a half than almost anywhereelse in the world; districts which the government refuses to refOrlTI because as theystand they grossly over-represent the backward-looking reactionary elements andunder-represent the democratic, forwardlooking elements and under, representsthe democratic, forward-looking ele-ments; a council of German executives setover it; made up of representatives appointed by and responsible to the monarchs of the states; all under the presidency of a Kaiser who does not know how,if indeed it could be done, to distinguishbetween his Prussian kingship by divineright and his imperial presidency by constitution enactment. That sort of utterancewhich was decribed in the Reichstag at thetime of the famous Daily Telegraph inter-DEMOCRACY AND THE WORLD�ORDERview in 1907 as 'the impulsive manifestations, the effervescences, the explosions ofmonarchical subjectivism' is apparentlymade without distinction between Prussianand imperial authority. 'That which waslacking in the old Hansa,' said the Emperor in the nineties, 'a strong united empire obedient to one will, we now have,thanks to the grace of heaven and the deedsof my grandfather. Only one is master inthe Empire and I am that one-I tolerateno other.' And the Junkers join in maintaining the confusion.' 'The king of Prussiaor the German emperor,' said von Oldenburg-j anuschau in the Bundesrat on January 29, 1910, 'must always be in a positionto say to any lieutenant: "Take ten menand close the Reichstag.'""I t would be a mistake of serious consequence, however, to' believe that the essenceof German autocracy was spread evenlythroughout the Empire. Its source and itshome are Berlin and the dominance ofPrussia. Prussia has since 1870 commandedthe Empire."The Prussian malady, in political terms,is the 'monarchical principle'; and Prussiaresents as a threat to her position and prestige any impairment in Germany (and even,as we have recently been enabled to see, inRussia) of the doctrine, of royal power.'All that the Emperor gains,' said Yorckvon Wartenburg in the Prussian House- ofLords in January, 1914, 'is a loss for theKing of Prussia. Now Prussia representsin Germany the monarchical principle.'Wha t then is this monarchical principle?J t is the doctrine of the hereditary executive, not as a form within which the popular will operates, as in Great Britain, Italy, .Spain, Holland, Belgium, Denmark, Norwayand Sweden, but as an active and dominantpower. It is monarchy by divine right. Themonarch is not within the constitution,' asin truly constitutional states, but outside ofit and above it; not an organ of the constitution, but anterior to it. What politicalinstitutions' exist have their being by theking's grace. He consults for his own guidance and information, but not for the control of his judgment, a legislature one houseof which is in the absolute control of thehopelessly reactionary Junkers, who aremore royalist than the king, and the otherbased upon a travesty of popular suffragewhich practically excludes the mass of thepeople from all representation, and whichBismarck himself denounced as the mos tsenseless and miserable in the world. Theking, say all the commentators, is responsible to God and his conscience, and to nobody and nothing else. In Great Britainand other liberal monarchies the maximthat the king cari do no wrong has longsince yielded the practical corollary that, �since any human being may do wrong if hedoes anything, the king must be constitutionally prevented from doing personally 219any act whatsoever that can have anypolitical significance. Not so in Prussia.There the doctrine still holds that what anactive king does is politically unchallegeable.-a doctrine that disappeared in GreatBritain with the Stuarts in 1688, and inFrance with the Bourbons in 1830. ."The elementary schools, the upperschools, the universities, and even the stagehave been the agencies of the Prussian statesystem. Speech, press, and public meetinghave been carefully controlled. The right ofassociation has been rigidly limited. Thegovernment with all its resources of social,economic, and intellectual pressure hasentered actively into political contests tosupport the forces of reaction and suppressthe promptings of change. Never has therebeen an attempt on such a scale, so competently engineered or so nearly successfulto distort a people's mind by the pressur�of authority. At the time of the Zabernaffair there happened to be at the Universityof Chicago an exchange 'professor of theology from a Prussian university, to whomI mentioned the incident, casually, expecting the sort of reaction one would, I think,naturally expect from a man of his sort inGreat Britain or America. Not so! We couldnot in this country understand, so his replyran, how necessary it was at all costs 10maintain the prestige of the military andin that strain he continued with som'e vehemence. We may thank heaven that wecannot understand."But you may be asking yourselves, Whyis all this our business? Why can we notleave the democrats of Germany to settlethis business for themselves? Why· can wenot leave the Prussian autocracy to run itsinevitable course to ruin? For surely noneof us believes that such an enterprise canpossibly in the long run succeed; the seedsof disaster are planted deep within it andtheir roots were visibly spreading b'eforethis war began. The answer is, on the onehand, simply the commonplace that nonation can nowadays live unto itself alone,tha t in this day of. growing in terna tiona!interests and activities. isolation is imposSIble; and, on the other hand, that Germanyunder such management cannot possibly bea tolerable neighbor. The same small groupthat is dominating Germany's domesticaffairs is managing also German world-politics. The same men who clashed the saberin the streets of Zabern are the men who, inthe name of Germany, have been swashbuckling through the streets of Europe,sending the gospel of the Hun to Asia, andspreading intrigue and the threat of warfrom America to India. The same blindpride of caste that they display at home,the same ruthless pursuit of power, thesame contempt for the intrinsic value ofhumanity, are reflected in their disregard ofsmaller nations, of different cultures, and ofinternational right."220 THE Uf{IVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEOn the QuadranglesDuring the month various elections wereheld, the basketball season was ended in anot-so-bad fashion, the Dramatic clubboosted itself to the skies with "Fashion,"and examinations brought. to a close thewinter quarter, after the Right Honorableand Most Reverend Cosmo Gordon Lang,Archbishop of York and Primate of England and Metropolitan had spoken at theone hundred and sixth convocation.The Reynolds club elected WilliamHenry president for the coming year.Henry, '19, was secretary of the club lastyear, is head cheerleader, a member of thetrack team, managing editor of the 1918Cap and Gown, and a member of ChiPsi. Benson Littman, '19, of the tennisteam, was electe-d vice-president; MoffatElton, '18, a member of the football teamand of Alpha Delta Phi, is secretary;Arthur Colwell, '19, Tiger's Head and BetaTheta Pi, is the new treasurer; and Abraham Rudolph, '18, baseball '16 and '17 andcaptain this year, is librarian. . . . TheW. A . .f\. elected Helen Driver president,Marion Glaser vice-president, Helen Sulzberger secretary-treasurer, and Helen Moffet recording secretary. . . . The Undergraduate council chose Walter Earle,'18, president pro-tempore, in the absenceof Stanley Roth, '18, who has gone toWashington to take up governmental workwith the Committee on Public Information;Florence Lamb was elected secretarytreasurer, and Eleanor Atkins librarianof the council. Buel Hutchinson is the new.president of the Junior College Council,and Frank Long secretary.In the meantime, after many ups andmore downs, the basketball team bursts outwith talent in the end and swamps Purdue,as it quite proper, and came out tied forfourth place with several other institutions.We claim the real fourth place, however,on the basis of having been the only teamnow tied which defeated the championsfrom Madison. Fuller review of the seasonis found elsewhere in this issue.As to the Dramatic club's play, "Fashion," it was a huge success in every but afinancial way. Everyone who saw either ofthe two performances, March 8 and 9, saidthat it was one of the best amateur performances seen in some time. The reviewerfor the Maroon, Bartlett Cormack, spenttwo columns 'in denouncing the campus forits lack of support, and two more columnsin praising the show as a whole, the actorsspecifically, and especially Glen Millard,the director. Millard, '19, Beta Theta Pi,deserved all the praise Mr. Cormack gavehim, as your reviewer knows well enough,having been one of the cast. There is a prospect of the play's being given again inthe spring quarter for the Drama League,.but nothing definite has been decided. Thecast consisted of Dorothy Scholle, EmilyTaft, Margaret Haggott, Ruth Mallory,Marion Palmer, Frederick N epper, CarlinCrandall, Inving Wills, Mr. Frank Abbott.Maurice De Koven and Lee Ettelson."Fashion" was an American play first produced in 1845, and was given in Mandelwith a specially painted set representingthe wainscoting of. the time and with thecostumes of the day. The club is veryproud of the achievement and the campuswould be had it come to see the production.One hundred and thirty-two degrees weregiven at the one hundred and sixth convocation, and one degree taken away. Therewas much .applause when President Judsonannounced that the faculties had taken fromVon Bernstorff, the former German ambasdador, the LL.D. which had been given himin 1911., Archbishop Lang spoke, as convo-cation orator, of "Universities and theWar," telling of the work done by Oxfordand Cambridge men and praising the menin the Universities of America. Sixty-threeof the degrees given were baccalaureate andthe rest higher or professional degrees.During convocation week,� seven undergraduates were initiated into the Beta of Illinois chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. The sevenwere: Eleanor Booher, Morton W eiss,\i\T alter Earle, William Gorgas, Max Greenstein, Bernard Nath and Benjamin Perk.The last four are elected as Juniors, Earlegraduates in the spring, and the othersgraduated last month.A general conference of all the Women'sAthletic Associations of the country, thesecond of its kind, the first having beenheld at Wisconsin last year, will conveneon this campus Friday, April 12, under thedirection of the local unit. Arline Faulkenau, '19, is general chairman, and is arrang-ing much entertainment for the delegates.The affair will last two or three days, andthe men of the campus are 100ki1).g forwardto the conference with hopes and fears.The Bureau of Records announced thatthe best fraternity average grade for theautumn quarter was B, and there was muchrejoicing.

The instructor in each course may,however" require such an exarninatoin, if.in his judgment; he cannot give a fair esti ..mate of the student's standing without it.The student should not assume that creditwill be given unless at the time of his withdrawal the instructor's official report is inthe hands of the University Recorder.Credit shall be recorded as or the grade indicated in the instructor's report.11. Graduation of Upper Seniors(a) A student lacking four majors or lessfor his degree at the time of call or enlistment for immediate war service shall begranted the degree at the next convocation,provided that his average grade in all resi- dence work has been at least C, and thathe has spent at least three fulb quarters inactual residence and received credit for notless than nine majors of residence work.(b) A student lacking at the time of hiscall or enlistment for immediate war servicenot more than six majors for his degree,shall be granted the degree on evidence ofsix months' honorable service, provided thathis average in residence work (not less thannine majors, covering at least three fullquarters) is B, or better, and providedfurther that at least two-thirds of his sequence requirements shall have been absolved.III. Claims for Further CreditClaims for further credit on the Basis ofWork of Educational Value in W'ar Servicepresented by Students returning to the University after honorable discharge will be handled as claims for advanced standing, and willbe presented to the Board of Admissions,after consideration by a permanent Committee on Credit for War Service, consisting ofthe Dean of the Faculties, the Chairman ofthe Committee on Military Science and theUniversity Examiner. Note i.-Credits willbe recorded and degrees conferred as provided herein only in case the student con-tinues his college work up to the time ofenforced withdrawal.Note-War Service as used in this reportshall be considered as including: Anybranch of direct military or naval service;any allied service overseas; any allied service which involves group training such ashospital or ambulance work; any form ofservice which from the character- of thework required will give the student contactwith scientific methods and make a positivecontribution to his education.222 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE.

Committee 'which is helping tofurther the music in the army and navy, asa powerful military factor.·We have placed over fifty song leaders inthe war, navy, and marine camps and thereis need for more. Men are required whohave some musical training and who areabove all, natural leaders. Men who havehad experience as glee club leaders, provided they have sufficient musical training,ought to make ideal camp song leaders.Mr. John Alden Carpenter, of Chicago, is amember of our Committee and I know thathe will be glad to interview any men whowould like to go into this service. It isGovernment work, the salaries being paidthrough the Quartermaster's Department, and is now $1,800 per annum, which is supplemented by an expense allowance.. In addition to this singing work, we aretaking an interest in the development ofthe band music, and the U niver sity couldhelp by getting the younger men to learnto play band instruments, so that when theygo into the service they will be qualified toenter the bands. Several colleges are considering the advisability of starting bandschools.Trusting you will lend your co-operation,I am Very truly yours,M. Morgenthau, Jr.,Treasurer.[The two following letters will interest; the firstfrom H. Roudil, Etat-Major in the French Army,written to President Judson and dated February 11;the second from Assistant Professor Chester W.Gould.]I am very thankful to the University ofChicago for its kind greeting and I amTHE LETTER BOXdeeply touched to see that it still remembersone of its former instructors, W30 likes tospeak of the years he spent in the UnitedStates as having been the most interestingand instructive of his life. If I am spared inthis war I hope I may one day have thepleasure to revisit America and perhaps towork there at creating new intellectualbonds between our two countries whichare now, for the second time, fighting sideby side for a common ideal.I am going to translate this very day thereport "The University and the War" andI am certain in advance that our general,our chief of staff and everyone among ourofficers will take a deep interest in the stepstaken and the methods adopted by a greatAmerican intellectual body to organize thewar and promote the triumph of a justcause.Belonging to the army class which wasmustered in 1897, I have been in the warfrom the very first day. The corps to whichJ then belonged had on its left the BritishExpeditionary Force and I had several timesthe perilous honor to go over night toGeneral Sir Douglas Haig's headquarters toaccompany our liaison officer. More thanonce did we just miss being captured by theenemy. Those were tragical days and thehair of many a thoughfu1 man turned whiteduring the sad hours when the roads werecovered with flying civilians from Belgiumand the north of France, the villages burning at night while the cannon thundered andexhausted women and children gave up theghost by the roadside. Then the Marnecame, a splendid victory, in which our soldiers once more proved that they were bornwarriors. From Reims I passed to Arrasunder General Petain's enlightening command, with the British again as neighbors.After our men had taken their share of theimmortal defense of Verdun, I was entrusted with one of the sections of thecensorship which deals with German correspondence. I performed for some monthsthese delicate and interesting duties andthen asked-in spite of my forty years andmy three children-to be sent to the frontagain. Thus I became acquainted with theChemin des Dames and with the regionround St. Quentin where the Germans, before being compelled to retire, destroyedand scientifically ruined everything that hadbeen built or made by human hands; Not aroof has been left and not a tree, not akitchen utensil and not an agricultural implement; the factories have been burnt downand what could not be taken away has beenscien tifically wrecked. In one place theGermans left two coffins placed one on an-other; by removing the upper one you setfire by means of a detonator to an explosive charge which was placed underneath 1They have thus gone so far as to enrolldeath among their accomplices, and you will 223surely believe me, Mr. President, if I tellyou that it is impossible to form a just ideaof what this country has suffered in thecause of freedom and of 'justice; we firmlybelieve that the day will come when it willearn its well-deserved recompense.It was my good fortune, some time ago,to meet a certain number of your men, assembled round the Stars and Stripes; theymade on me the deepest impression, andI am certain our common enemies will feelthe weight of the American sword brandished by soldiers whose high ideals willinspire the noblest deeds.I wish I may one day have the privilegeto place what I know at the disposal of yourexpeditionary forces. I have meanwhileworked at a military dictionary in threelanguages (French, English and German)which is now ready to be printed. I amtold that it would render good service justnow, but shortage of labor and scarcity ofpaper render it more and more difficult forour publishers to engage on new work. Thedisposition of the manuscript allows it toput either of the three languages under consideration, first in alphabetical order. Somebody in Chicago may possibly get interested in the scheme.Reports concerning the University andthe share it takes in the war will alwaysinterest me. Were it possible for one or theother of your committees to provide mewith the necessary materials in a condensedform I might think of delivering one ortwo lectures on the most interesting aspectsof American life and institutions, as well ason what may be made public of the organization of the new army before an officers'audience which I address from time to time.I remain, Mr. President, with thanks,Yours very respectfully,H. Roudil.I knew Mr. Roudil very well while hewas here, and since his return I have keptup a correspondence which has increasedin frequency since the Getman attack onBelgium.Roudil was here for one year as a traveling fellow, being on a stipend from theFrench government, the academic year of1903':'4. France at that time made a practice of selecting each year a few of the bestyoung men who had completed their studiesand were candidates for teaching positionsand sending them out as stipendiaries for ayear. Although a report was required onsome investigation or observations, the purpose was more to let the student supplement his studies by seeing foreign countriesthan to encourage research. Roudil choseto come to the Middle West and put in histime at the University of Chicago. Therewas need here for extra instruction inFrench, and he was asked to give severalcourses during the year. A number of usbecame very well acquainted with him.224 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEOther members of this group now in theUniversity are Professors J ernegan,Goettsch and G. L. Marsh.There is nothing peculiar or "Frenchy"about him. He is just an exceptionally nicehuman being. He is a modest but determinedfellow, a stocky blond, quick-thinking andwitty. At that time holdups were commonabout here, but he insisted in taking eveningwalks in \i\l ashington Park just as usual.He comes of an old Protestant family inMontpeIlier. He is just as clean-living andclean-thinking as an American of the sametype. Several years ago he wrote me thathe would like to come to America to teach.Since then he has been transferred fromCaen to Paris, which is much more desirable. He must have been successful. Hewrites and speaks English fluently and correctly, and speaks German so well that hecan pass himself in Germany for a German.e. N. Gould,Base Hospital Unit 13, Atlanta.To the Edi tor :Having discovered a place where 1 canpound a Maroon office typewriter, with allthe copy paper in the city of Atlanta at myelbow, I believe the circumstances are favorable for writing the letter I have had inmind for six weeks.I don't know where to begin; but I amsending a picture of Jerry Fisher jumping,which he would be glad to have publishedto show the girls. And speaking of girls,I am reminded that there are some in AtIan tao Knowing me as you do, you will notimagine that I have a great deal to do withthem, but some of the boys do, and thereis something about the way they pronouncetheir words that tends to make a man comeover to this side of the room so he can hearit better. I'm not engaged to any of them,as far as I can remember, but if we stay hereanother seven weeks, there is no telling.The people of Atlanta have been tremendously cordial, and I only hope that thepeople in the North are doing their share,as well I have had a chance to talk withsome of the people whose memory of themarch to the sea is a distinctly unpleasantone, people who until recently have hadonly the Stars and Bars in their homes, andit seems to me that finally the North andSouth are really being united. There areall sorts of places of interest in connectionwith the Civil War around here, and I onlyregret that I have so little time during theday to explore 'round.You will notice that I say during theday. Our evenings are entirely our own,from 5 until reveille the next morning, unless we happen to be in Class B or Class C,which imposes restrictions. On Saturdayswe can get away at noon, and do not needto report back until reveille on Monday.Our commanding officer is all that anyone can ask, and so far we have got on famouslytogether. By "we" I mean the boys in theunit, who, as a whole, are men that reflectcredit on the University and on Chicago.There are so many athletes and men of particular tastes that it is hard to keep any hotwater in the shower room. At a party in thefashionable part of town last night-a partywhich was given for us-the conduct of themen was more like that one would expect tosee at a University reception than that of a"soldiers' affair."I am describing the men and their habitsat length more or less because the sort ofmen a man is with makes such an awfuldifference in his view of army life. I've seensome of the men on guard duty here atFort McPherson, and I've been to CampGordon, on the other side of Atlanta, andif I were put in the midst of some of thecrowds I've seen I'd be in misery 24 hoursa day. I've seen men with chains on theirlegs and an armed guard behind them, walking along as if they hadn't a care in thewor Id, when everyone that saw them involuntarily pitied them. There are a lot ofphases of human life in the United Statesthat I haven't had any idea of - and Ihaven't even mentioned the colored folkshere in Georgia; and "the Brotherhood ofMan" and "equal rights" and 'public opinion" aren't just exactly the same phrasesthey used to be in my mind.But here I am wandering on about socialproblems and all that instead of giving youthe dope. As far as I am concerned, I amin the supply end of the unit, and believeme a man that has done supply work in thearmy is going to make some mean booksalesman, or follow-up system or bulldogtrainer or something like that after thewar. There are all kinds of paper work todo, and after you do it, you find you shouldhave done something else, and then you dosome more paper work, and after that won'tget it, you give a cigar to the fellow andmaybe he tells you where to head in, andmaybe he tells you how you can getwhat you want. I had an idea that in thearmy a man just used what he wanted, andthen went away and left it. The truth isotherwise, however. Every hat cord, 3-tontruck, thermometer, kitchen stove, hair pillow, and everything under the beautifulStars and Stripes must be accounted for,and somebody has to sign for it and produce it when required to stand and deliver,or somebody is going to miss 5 or 100 dollars, as the case may be, out of somebody'senvelope on payday. There is a great dealmore to army life than going over the top,I have discovered, and war is hell in manyother places than the trenches-in the supply office, for example, when there are only152 pairs of russet shoes when the supplyofficer has signed for 153.In slightly different circumstances, itwould be funny to watch the definite stepsof authority. The principal advantage aTHE LETTER BOXsecond lieutenant has over' a sergeant, sofar as I can see, is that the former has oneless person to bawl him out than the otherdoes. After seeing the bills some . of thesecond lieutenants pay for board, room,clothes, carfare, etc., etc., etc., some of ushave come to the conclusion that financiallyat least we are very comfortable indeedwhere we are.The Y. M. C. A. has been great, and Ihope that people at home realize how much'that organization means in army life today.I t is a place to go when the barracks gettiresome, and through the Y. M. C. A. wehave made any number of very pleasantacquaintances. \Me don't know when weare going, and we couldn't say if we did,but we are fully equipped and anxious toget over to where things are happening ina hurry. In the meantime, it seems mightygood to hear about what is going on athome, and the MAGAZINE, the Maroon, andthe Chicago papers are read whenever wehave time. We have classes all morningI'm teaching a section in French-and drillmost of the afternoon; and between doinglaundry work, bathing, fatigue duties andtaking care of the barracks, and most of allwriting letters; there is little spare time.We're glad we're in it, but we have one ideaand that is to get it over with in a hurryand get home.' Lawrence MacGregor, '16.I Part of a letter from Margaret Laing, '09,dated "France, Feb. 23," but postmarked"Epernay, Marne, Feb. 23."]I know you expect me to write interesting letters telling all about what I haveseen and heard; here I am in the war zone,within the sound of guns and not allowedto write anything, however insignificant,about the army. Naturally, we know verylittle, and we are not allowed to go anywhere without a: special permit. They don'twant people circulating about any morethan can be helped. *.. * *I wish you could see our can teen, a long,low room, with the ceiling hung with raffialike brown southern moss, lighted with electric bulbs with yellow shades. The men sitat heavy tables with white tiled tops, onwooden benches; and we have a kind ofglorified cafeteria-glorified because the menlove it so, but centuries away from the glittering modern 'places in Chicago. They buy 225their little tickets at the caisse and thencome to one of the other of the "guichets,"and we give them whatever they want. Atthe "repas chaud" at noon or at night youcan picture me handing a soldier a bowl ofbouillon and a plate with a helping of vegetables and one of meat and a hunk ofbread. I take two corners from his ticketand later he comes to the chocolate window and gets his cup of black coffee whichmakes his "rep as" complete; but while heis at the window I take two corners fromhis ticket, give him the piece left and tellhim what it is for and see that he doesn'tforget it on the ledge, hand him a knife anda fork, for which he hands me a franc for"conseigne," often make change for thefranc, give him his food and keep the othersoldiers in line and good natured. It's lotsof fun and I'd rather serve "repas" thananything I know of. At the other windowwe serve bowls of coffee or chocolate,chunks of cheese, jam on little butter plates,sausage in hunks, which has garlic in it,which the French soldiers adore and whichthe Americans detest, and always the thickpieces of bread. It's war bread and brown,but really very good'; it's what we all have.At the chocolate window, where I happento be now, I pour chocolate and coffee tillmy arm aches. But the work isn't hard,not nearly as hard as I expected, and weare abominally comfortable. We all live together in a French house with French servants and we have grate fifes. I'm sittingbeside one this instant. When I first camein January it was cold, but the cold lastedonly a couple of weeks, and since then ithas been like April. The English ivy on thewalls has never frozen and the little grassborders are green and the tree trunks arealways green. * * * Lucia Parker wasin the war zone and I couldn't see her andnow she has been moved and I don't knowwhere she is. * * * While I like thework here immensely I am begging to betransferred to an American canteen. 'Onlyan occasional American boy comes in,rarely an English one, sometimes an I talian, but usually our soldiers are French.They are wonderfully kind and courteous;we all like them so much, but I do wantto work with our own men. * * *Address:c/o American Express Company,11 Rue Scribe,Paris.226 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEAlumniALUMNI NOTICEAs Reunion is approaching, and asother important matters must now beattended to, it is desirable to call yourattention to the following preliminaryand regular meetings:1.

Dr. Judson spoke on theUniversity and the War, stirring the gathering with Chicago's roll of honor, men andwomen, who were enlisted in war work, illthe fighting line, in staff positions, or prominent in civilian activity. Professor PaulMonroe, Ph.D., of Columbia University, introduced by Dr. Vincent as one of America's foremost authorities on the history ofeducation, spoke on the effect of the warupon his metier, showing where our systemof training had broken under the stress ofnew conditions, and explaining the lanes ofprogress which had been now opened toacademic endeavor. Dr. Katherine BementDavis, formerly Commissioner of Correctionof N ew York, informed her hearers of thesocial progress that the war had started.Dr. Davis is now in charge of the Bureauof Social Hygiene of the Rockefeller Foundation. Dr. Edwin E. Slosson, of The Independent, revealed some startling facts Affairsconcerning the role that science had playedfrom behind the lines to the battlefields ofthe home fighters. Henry Bruere, formerlyNew York City Chamberlain, spoke on Mexico and outlined the plan for perfecting aninternational organization that might plottogether peacefully for the welfare of theMexicans and establish a condition whichwould permit them to have internal "selfdetermination." An added feature of interest was the talk of Mr. M. Morganrhau, Jr.,who explained the work of teaching soldiersto sing, spoke of the surprise with whichEurope greeted America's first army because that was a "silent army," and toldwhat was being done to strengthen themorale of our forces with the cheerful democracy of music. George Mitchel, one ofthe United States Army Song Leaders, waspresent, and soon had the room ringing with"Mr. Zipp" and "Keep the Home FiresBurning."Letter From President JudsonPresident Judson's own account of themeeting, written on his return to Chicago,is as follows:The dinner of the New York Alumni Clubwas a rare occasion. There was, of course,as always, the pleasure of meeting the oldfriends, and of hearing from their ownlips the story of what they are doing-oftheir hopes and of their successes. Thenthere is the word brought of others whocould not be there-of Harry Caraway's illness, from which he is so rapidly recovering-of Rudy Mathews' sailing for Franceonly three days before-Rudy is a lieutenant of infan try-c-an d of many more.But the speeches by the alumni reached ahigh plane. Each was from one who hasachieved a position of weight-each, besidesthe sparkle that should go with an afterdinner speech, had something real andthought-provoking. One speaker had beenMajor Mitchell's Commissioner of Corrections in the City of N ew York. Anotherhad held an important financial post in thesame administration and was just backfrom a study of conditions in Mexico. Another holds the chair of History of Education in Teachers' College, Columbia University. Another has charge of training thecamps of our new soldiers to sing, so thatthey may go to the battlefield. with cheerin their hearts and song on their lips. Stillanother is the brilliant editor of the Independent. The toastmaster was the inimitable Dr. George E. Vincent. I have neverattended any alumni gathering of any institution of learning at which the after-dinnertalk was more thoroughly interesting andso well worth while. I was proud of ouralumni.I am sure that such a gathering meansALUMNI AFFAIRSfar more than a mere social occasion, forall who were present. One cannot fail tocarry away an inspiration for the best, anda renewed joy in the alma mater,(Signed) Harry Pratt Judson.An election of officers was held with thefollowing result: 'President-s-A, T., Stewart.Vice-President=-Dr. Katherine BementDavis.Secr etary=-f To be chosen.)Treasurer-N. E. Tarson.The Eastern Alumni Association has beenactive during the past year. It has had fourlive luncheons and dinners at which educational and patriotic subjects have been discussed. Something was .also accomplishedfor Hover there." The Eastern Alumni Associa tion undertook to raise the money fora kitchen trailer for feeding the woundedand the ambulance companies at the front.Because many of the members had contributed to the ambulance fund of the GeneralAlumni Association, the entire amount wasnot raised, but through the generosity of ananonymous doner the fund was completed,and so there is to be on the battle front akitchen trailer bearing this nameplate:American Red CrossPresen ted byThe Eastern Alumni AssociationofThe University of ChicagoThe Eastern Alumni take pardonablesatisfaction in knowing that they have hadthis part in bringing help to those who arefighting, our battles.The Chicago Alumnee Club.-An alumna!tea was given March 2 at Ida Noyes Hall inhonor of Mrs. Harry Pratt Judson, thewomen of the faculty, and the women ofthe graduate school. Those in the receiving line were: Mrs. J. W. Thompson, Mrs.George Goodspeed, Miss Margaret Monroeand LaVerne Noyes. J ackies from theGreat Lakes Station were entertained attea Sunday evening, March 10, by the Chicago Alumnse Club in the College Clubrooms in the Stevens Building. Twentyfive were 'expected and nearly one hundred arrived. Mrs. J. W. Thompson, MissAlice Greenacre and Miss Shirley Farr hadcharge of the tea. Professor Rollin D. Salisbury gave a talk.Former Chicago students living inOklahoma gathered in February to meetProf. Salisbury, who went down to the annual meeting of the Southwestern Associa ...tion of Petroleum Geologists at OklahomaCity. Three officers of the Association, Dr.M. G. Mehl, sec-treas.; P.rof. Chas. H. Taytar, editor, and ]. Elmer Thomas, president, 227and perhaps thirty other members, hads.tudied geology under Prof. SalisburyThomas- writes : "You can imagine ho:.. vpleased we were when he made the longtrip from Chicago to Oklahoma City to bewith us for two days. His plans for thetrip .were delayed until a late hour andcould not be announced in advance 'of themeeting, but about twenty-five' 'of his former students were, present at the meeting."Among the officers for the coming yearare Prof. Taylor, who was unanimously reelected editor, and Mr. W. E. Wrather, '07,the new secretary-treasurer. Although theUniversity of Chicago is not an engineeringschool and has no separate department forpetroleum, geology arid technology, it is interesting to note the remarkable contribution of its department of geology to this'important work in the petroleum industry."I REPORT OF MEETING OF THEEXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OFTHE ALUMNI COUNCILExecutive Committee ReportThe regular monthly meeting of the Executive Committee of the Alumni Council. was held Monday, March 25th, at 6 p. m.,at the College Club, Stevens Building.There were present: 'Scott Brown, chairman; Miss Shirley Farr, Albert W. Sherer,Harold H. Swift, William H. Lyman, JohnF. Moulds, and Adolph G. Pierrot; MissAlice Greenacre was also' present on particular business in connection with classorganizations and reunion.Mr. Moulds presented treasurer's reportfrom October 1, 1917, to February 28, 1918;the report showed that there had been aloss in subscriptions and sorne loss .in advertising as compared with the: similarperiod of 1916 to 1917. The' indications werethat the financial year of 1917-19}}S wouldprobably come out even, and not with, asurplus, as was the case last year. ,Several reports were considered and suggestions made in connection with publications and club work. The plans of theFunds Committee in connection with thespecial war fund, are rapidly maturing. Mr.Lyman reported, for the Reunion Committee, that the cost of getting a large tent asa feature was too high to make it practicable. The Committee decided to send Mr.Moulds to the annual meeting of the Assodation of Alumni Secretaries at New Haven,Conn., May 10th arid" 11th, because this yearimportant matters will be taken up in theway of management of alumni affairs andpublications 'under war conditions, Planswere made for the cornrng meetrngs, announced in this issue, and there was general discussion as to preparations for thesemeetings before the reunion.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE"O�4 'Th "� ¥.�r ere(The following is a very incomplete and probablyinaccurate, l,lst 0, £" form, er students no\\,w, in, France.The di�c�tty of getting accurate in.for�ion h�� sofa: beera. ��2e!j,ible.

To me California, only eleven mileswest, really is the paradise that the 'Come,to California' advertisements in the papersmake it out to be-plenty of oil for heat,water-power for lights, beef and mutton formeat, and snow in the mountains where itshould be.

She wonfive games out of six at home (losing toMinnesota in an overtime game) and lostfive out of six abroad (beating Michiganat Ann Arbor). Chicago had a good team,but failed at critical points. Bryan's injuryin' the second game lost one game certainlyand probably two. There was no excuse forthe defeat by Iowa. Northwestern, Indianaand Ohio State played weak schedules.Northwestern particularly showed questionable sportsmanship by refusing to playMinnesota in the final scheduled game, andMinnesota has accordingly announced itsintention of scheduling no more gameswith the lads from Evanston. The champion hard luck team was Illinois, whichlost its best player to Uncle Sam early inthe season and another by ineligibility.Hinkle, '20, was probably the best playerin the conference, though Illinois, withAnderson; Wisconsin, with Chandler;Northwestern, with Underhill, and Minnesota, with Gillen, would all deny this. Hinkle was at all events a real star. CaptainGorgas was hardly up to his expectedform.
