As "Un­usual Business, Not Business as U sual," it issent out by the Union League Club of Chi­cago as "The War and Industrial Readj ust­ments," it is published b ythe UniversityPress, as the fifth in the series of 1J niversityWar Papers. It is in part a reprint of anearlier article published in the Journal ofPolitical Economy. It analyzes the indus­trial requirements of th e war; states the les­sons to be learned from the experience ofEurope; and gives an account of the plansfor the future now being formulated atWashing ton.Moulton's conclusion is as follows: "Theoutstanding need of the time is for themanagers and staffs of technical expertsin non-war industries everywhere to hestudying the problem with the greatest carein order to discover in what ways theirplants may be adapted to war production.They should, moreover, actively co-operatewith the agencies in Washington which, un­der the appointment or approval of the gov­ernment, are wrestling with the problem ofindustrial readjustments. On the manufac­turing side there is the Bureau of Manufac­turing Resources of the Council of NationalDefense, which is giving its attention to theproblem of plant conversion. On the com­mercial side there is the Commercial Econ­omy Board of the Council of National De­fense, wh ich has undertaken to co-operatewith . business men . . . in eliminatingneedless uses of men, materials, equipment,and capital in all lines of commercial busi­ness. Business men who desire to placethemselves in line with this movement mayvery properly enter into correspondencewith these agencies. Such correspondencemay well have the double result of provinghelpful both to the business interests and tothe governmental committees themselves.There is opportunity here for some reallyconstructive co-operation."E. H. Griffin, a Georgia editor, wrote toDr. Soule, Federal food administrator ofGeorgia:"Y ou have asked the co-operation of thepress in the work of the Food Administra­tion in this State, and we have given you unbounded support in every way we could,but we must speak plainly. There is a ter­rible waste of food being made here andelsewhere at social and public gatherings,and as a patriotic citizen I think it is abouttime that the Administration issued a mani­festo calling upon the people to quit thiswaste It makes the prices higher on thepoor people, and it is the height of folly forany paper to fight waste of food and at thesame time have its columns filled withparties al;� spreads where worlds 6' foodIS wasted.The editor of the Manufacturers' Recordcomments as follows on this letter:"The position taken by Mr. Griffin is ab­solutely correct. Whenever a public enter­tainment is held and a dinner or banquet ofany kind is given an example should be setof the most rigid conservation of food."The private family which undertakes byreason of its wealth and its custom of thepast, to load its table with unnecessary foodfor its daily use or for company is a vigor­ous co-worker with Germany."Food wastage is not only a crime at thepresent time against the dying, starving mil­lions in Europe who are begging for food,but is a crime against our soldiers and thesoldiers of our Allies as they lay down theirlives for civilization."WAR SUBSTITUTESEconomy for Waste.Co-operation for Cr iticisrn.Knowledge of Prices for Gossip aboutProfits.Cornmeal and Oatmeal for Wheat Flour.Fish for Beef and Bacon.Vegetable Oils for Animal Fats.The Garden Hoe for the Golf Stick.Performance for Argument.Service for Sneers.Patriotic Push for Peevish Puerilities.Perishable for Preservable Foods.Greater Production for a German Peace.The Beef You Do Not Eat for the RifleYou Cannot Carry.Conservation for Conversation.Common Sense for Common Gossip.Marketing for Telephoning.Production for Pessimism.-Canadian Food Bulletin.BOOK J.VOTES 285BookThe series of Base Maps and Graphs,published by Professor.].

The pur­pose of the book is to furnish a scientificbasis for the selection and arrangement ofthe syntax topics in a' High School Latincourse.

Gothic Architecture inFrance, England and Italy" by Sir ThomasGraham Jackson, Baronet. I t is publishedin two volumes, taking more than six hun­dred pages, with 191 plates and 229 text­illustrations. Sir. Thomas says in his con­clusion :"That the Gothic of the past should everlive again' exactly in any of its old formsis impossible: no dead art ever did or everwill do so. _The very life blood of Gothiceither past or present lies in its adaptabilityto circumstances; and its merit is to reflect Notesthe mind of its own age and no other. � . ."It follows, then, that as the Gothic artof the past was the faithful interpreter ofthe mind of the Middle Ages, it cannot, forthat..very reason, in its old shape representthe mind of the 20th century. . . . But theold Gothic spirit survives, and that is whatis of value t6 'us; that it is which must in­spire our modern architecture if it is to beof any good,' as if did that of the; MiddleAges; for we are the sons, of the men whomade it, always seeking the n ew,' always. striving to be in the. van of progress, dis­contented with our victories as soon. as theyare won, and ever reaching onward to thenext step forward. To represent tre rest­lessness of the modern world architecturemust have the same freedom as o-f old inour forefathers' day."To live with us and speak for us" it must'be 'fr�e -arid mobile, ever ready'�1to takeadvantage of new suggestions, to solve newproblems, to accommodate itself '"to newconditions',. just as the old Gothic style . . :did in the olden time. In other �ords, Ibelieve that our architecture must breathethe old Gothic spirit of liberty,' and thatonly so will it be of any real value."The author writes "not only like a prac­tical architect,' but like a scholar and con­noisseur." The volumes give in detail whatamounts to a traced, history of the develop­ment of Gothic; and it may 'be read withpleasure by any person not in the leastexpert in architecture, but possessed of alove of beautiful buildings. The sketchesinclude many details from Rheirns, Noyon,Soissons and Laon, which are now goneforever from' our sight in stone.286 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEThe Right Honorable and Most Reverend Cosmo Gordon Lang, D.

The following figures from his speech will be to our alumni equally new, ter­ri bl e, and full of honor:'"In Oxford before the war there were 3,200 male undergraduate students. There are now363, and of these many are officers who have returned disabled or invalided from service. AtCambridge there were before the war 3.679 .ma le undergradute students.

Inthat spirit you who are not with us thisJune are working or fighting; in recogni­tion of that spirit we who return to theUniversity feel our loyalty stronger thanever.Elsewhere in this issue will be found"The Midnight Special," the yearly report,of the Class of 1912.The MidnightSpecial Two years ago theMagazine tried 'theexperiment of publish­ign these annual class reports. There wassome satisfaction, and some dissatisfaction.Then war conditions altered everything,but still the Class of 1912 adheres to theplan, and co-operatively reports its newsto us all. Of the 53 men noted in thereport, it may be observed that 26, or al­most exactly fifty per cent, are in service;including four captains, four first lieuten­ants, nine second lieutenants and one en­sign. This is 1912's sexennial; 1913, whichhas its fifth anniversary, was actually ableto gather for 'a dinner only fourteen, so tre­mendously has the war split up its forces.Under the circumstances, the determinationof 1912 to make itself generally' knownthrough the Magazine seems wise. Wewish more classes had done it.The University of Chicago War Service,Committee on Modern Languages, issuesa call for volunteersamong the alumni,� especially in and nearChi c ago, who canTransla torsWanted read or translate from. or into any foreignlanguage. During the last three months the-volunteer assistants of the committee, over50 in number, have read over 1,000 copiesof foreign language newspapers for theLiberty Loan Bureau of the Seventh Fed­eral Reserve District. * They have reportednot only the amount of space devoted tothe Loan, but also the attitude of the pa­pers, and their final report has been askedfor by the Post Office Department and theDepartment of Justice. The committee isnow called on to do the same sort of thingfor the Solicitor's Office of the Post Office.Files of the foreign language papers, num­bering from ten to twenty, will be sentby the Post Office to volunteers to be in­spected and reported on as to their loyalty.The volunteers for this task must be 21years old, men, and Citizens. They will besworn in as "dollar-a-year men." Womenare, however, needed for other tasks thatare in the hands of the committee. Oneof these is that of translating into fifteenlanguages the literature of the Child Wel­fare Department, under the auspices of theIllinois State Council of Defense, in orderthat the propaganda of the Department maybe successfully carried on among the for­eign language speaking population of Chi­cago and the vicinity. Women have beenmore numerous than men among the help­ers of the committee who have read for theLiberty Loan Bureau.The work asked for is more or less in­termittent, and calls for not more than afew hours a week. Its importance is suchthat every person qualified among thealumni should offer his services immedi­ately,288 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEProfessor A. A. Michelson's new range­finder has been accepted by the govern­ment, and Prof. Mich­elson himself has beenmade a Lieutenan t-Commander in theNavy and will be stationed at Washington.Prof. Michelson resigned from the Navymany years ago, after standing at the headof his class at Annapolis. Had he remainedin the service he would now be an admiral(retired) and the world would have beenpoorer in knowledge. .But what we startedto say was that from his department ofphysics, Professor Millikan is a Lieutenant­Colonel in Washington, Professor Gale amajor of infantry, in charge of meteoro­logical training in France, and ProfessorKinsley a captain in the Signal ServiceCorps. The record is reasonably distin­guished, but the result is somewhat disas­trous in Ryerson. The Department ofEconomics reports a similar situation sta­tistically as follows: Last April, nineteenmembers and assistants; of these, ten nowin government service, including ProfessorMarshall in charge of labor supply for theFleet Corporation and Professor Field inEngland. What the year will bring forthnobody knows, but there are many fa­miliar faces missing from the QuadrangleClub.Faculty MenIn ServiceIn the campaign just closed at the Uni­versity for the Third Liberty Loan, thechairman of the com-The Third mittee in charge, 'Pro-Liberty Loan fessor Frank J.

In addition, theUniversity itself subscribed $100,000, andthe Divinity School $4,000, a total of $104,-000. The faculty of the University HighSchool contributed $5,100, and the studentspurchased bonds to the amount of $47,800,besides selling to persons outside the schoola total of $15,600, making the total creditfor the University High School $68,500.The grand total of subscriptions was. $294,-750.

D., Principal of Aber­deen University. Principal Smith, who iswidely known as a biblical scholar and his­torian, is particularly well known in theUnited States, where he has given the PercyTurnbull Lectures at Johns Hopkins Uni­versity, the Lyman Beecher Lectures atYale, and has been visiting professor atthe University of California and the Uni­versity of Chicago. At the latter institu­tion he was Convocation Orator in 1896and 1909. Principal Smith, who is chaplainin the British Army, is in this country toemphasize the moral aims of the presentThe Convoca­tion Oratorwar.Early- in June the decision was reachedto offer no courses in military science inthe summer quarter.Capt. McAndrew, whowas in charge in thespring, was ordered tothe Fort Sheridan Training Camp, and thecommandant whom the university desiredto carryon the work was not available un­til fall. As arrangements are not completeno announcement of the new commandantcan be made at this time, but he will beone to appeal to both alumni and under­graduates. Meanwhile, however, the optionremained of either continuing the local R.O. T. C. through the summer under astudent officer, or of postponing furtherwork till the permanent officer could takecharge. Inasmuch as, although one compe­tent student officer was available, the draftvolunteering and the Fort Sheridan camp,to which Chicago sent thirty-two men, hadreduced our supply of assistants to a mini­mum; and inasmuch as there is now' or­ganized at the University a Non-Commis­sioned Officers Training Camp for men inthe draft (see article "Chevrons," else­where) the wisest plan seemed to be toconcentrate on that and withdraw collegecourses. Since "Chevrons" was in type,by the way, the scope of the N. C. O. T. C.has been increased.

Bell's bookwe have not seen; Gralio's came to us justtoo late for review in this issue; but laterwe hope to compare and contrast them.Carl Gralio is an instructor in English atthe University; Bell is Chaplain at theGreat Lakes Naval Training Station.Gralio feels that the church, as an institu­tion, is largely outworn; Bell expects itto assume real leadership during the periodof reconstruction.

His re­port follows.-Ed.]It was aNew England meeting. Al­though attended by representatives of sometwenty-odd institutions, only seven of thesecould be termed western, Michigan, Min­nesota, Michigan Agricultural, GrinnellCollege, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Chicago.The discussions, therefore, naturally wererelated more to conditions in the east, par­ticularly in New England, and the meetingwas dominated pretty largely by the repre­sentatives of Harvard and Yale. To someextent it became largely an exposition ofthe methods and accomplishments of Yale,which it is only fair to say are well worthcopying. "Discussion of the first of the Specialtopics, "Alumni and the Training of CaUniversity in War Times," was opened byProfessor 'Potter of the Brown LoyaltyFundarid Robert H. Cory, chairman of thePublicity .Committee of the Yale AlumniUniversity Fund. Although this topic con­cerns a situation not yet acute at Chicago,there' is no certainty how long our Univer­sity will remain immune from the need ofhelp. Most of the institutions representedface large deficits this year and probablylarger: ones next year. The Brown LoyaltyFund is produced by pledges from alumniwho agree to contribute a certain sum an­nually. In its third year it is now produc­ing an income of $28,000 for the year, and35 per cent of the living alumni are con­tributing to' it. It is interesting to notethat .of the 36 trustees of Brown, 12 are nowelected by the alumni. Dartmouth has adeficit of $60,000, and her alumni are meet­ing it. Y cite, of course, has the system ofalumrii contributions worked out in a wop­derful way. This year Yale's deficit amout7tsto $260,000, and all of this and probablymore will be contributed by her alumni.An important feature of their plan is tokeep their alumni as completely as possibleirtformed of what is being done at theUn·i�ersity. '"Tfl_e remarkable program of the R. O. T. C. and Naval Training courses,which Yale has this year adopted, givestremendous pulling power to the call forfunds. But the point is that it is made useof, and the alumni are furnished with infor­mation about which they can be enthus­iastic.Discussion of the second topic, "TheAlumni Publication in War Times," wasopened by papers by Mr. Howe, editor ofthe Harvard Alumni Bulletin and Mr. Wil­son, editor of the University of North Caro­lina Review. Mr. Howe emphasized theusefulness of the alumni publication and 'theneed of keeping it up to its usual standardeven in war time. Mr. Wilson told howhe had increased his subscription list bycanvassing the undergraduates with the re­sult that he obtained more subscriptionsfor the Review from the students, than theundergraduate publication has. In my opin­ion the wisdom of invading the undergrad­uate field in such an aggressive fashion isopen to serious question. In the discussionwhich followed the outstanding feature wasthat the majority of the speakers reportedan increase of subscriptions instead of adecrease in this war year, which was con­trary to their own expectations. All menagreed, however, that trouble lies ahead,and that as more and more University menget to France, subscriptions are bound todrop off. Thus far this has been counter­acted by the desire of those at home toknow about the boys in khaki and aboutwhat the University is doing.Williams is issuing a "French Extra"called "Ephraim Williams-a Soldier" andthis is being sent to every living alumnus,no matter where he is. It is in newspaperform. The cost of it is being borne by theWilliams Club of New York. 4,500 copiesare sent out, 1,000 of these to men in serv­ice. The second issue carried a list of thosein civilian service. Williams alumni arekeeping track of the needs of their men inservice, even furnishing them money to buyuniforms when necessary.The subscription list of the Yale WeeklyTIfE UNIVERSITY OF �HICAGO MAGAZINEhas increased during the year. For thosesubscribers in service it is sent to the homeaddress, in eaeh case with a request to for­ward it with' the necessary postage.' Theyadmit that the subscription situation will beacute in a year or two. They proceed onthe theory that it is highly important tokeep the men in service informed aboutwhat the University is doing in the war.Mr. Shaw of Michigan reported that hissubscription list had dropped off slightly,but not very seriously. He is now circular­izing families of the men in service to sub­scribe for the magazine for the boys.Mr. Johnson of Minnesota has adoptedthe plan of sending fifty or sixty copies ofthe Weekly to Y. M. C. A. headquarters inFrance for distribution, and with good re­sults.Mr. Tyson of Columbia asked his sub­scribers to send their copy to some onedefinite person in France after reading it.Many responded that they wanted to keeptheir copy, but would subscribe for an ad­ditional copy. About 1,200 or 1,300 sub­scribers are sending copies to men in serv­ice, Of 1,100 men in France, he says only80 are not getting the Magazine.Discussion of the third topic, "AlumniMeetings and Reunions in War Times,"was opened by Mr. Shaw of Michigan andMr. Wright of Yale. All present agreedthat" it was highly important that reunionsbe continued during the war and a motionto that effect was adopted. Yale is organ­izing a speakers bureau. Vanderbilt has aspeakers bureau which sends speakerswithin a radius of about 300 miles whereverthere is a demand and when large enoughcrowds can be insured in the small towns.Meetings arranged through High Schoolprincipals, Red Cross organizations, etc.This serves to educate the people in theselocalities as to the purpose of the war andincidentally keeps them thinking aboutVanderbilt University.Discussion of the fourth topic, "The Keepingof Alumni War Records," was opened byMr. Mead of Harvard, Mr. Johnson of Min­nesota and Mr. Tyson of Columbia. At Har­yard they have abandoned the attempt tokeep all the information about a man's warrecord on a card and have adopted the let­ter file folder system with a separate folder f017each alumnus. They have found that much of the information that comes to the officeis not to be relied upon and is very inac­curate. In fact, they consider the miscel-'Ianeous info'rmati'ori that comes in only asgiving clues to be followed up. The onlyinformation they consider authentic is thatbased upon returns made out by the menthemselves or by their families. They havesent out a set of blanks to all Harvard mento be filled out and returned. The wordblank accurately describes these forms, asthey have not made them in a question­naire form, but have left it largely as' ablank card to be filled out as the inan him­self wishes to do. They have deferred thecompiling of a roster or directory for anindefinite time.Mr. Johnson reported that Minnesota hasdetermined upon a very definite definitionof what constitutes war service. They haveprovided a medal for those in service whichwill doubtless become a much-prized sou­venir. It is a bronze medal about the size ofa half-dollar, beautifully designed and suit­ably engraved. Upon each one of these willbe engraved the name of the individual.The whole costs, complete and includingmailing, only about thirty cents each.At Columbia, Mr. Tyson has worked outa very elaborate questionnaire, his systemdiffering in that respect from Harvard. Thisform has been looked over by Washingtonofficials and has their approval. Columbia'splan is to circularize, then check the listand circularize again. As soon as a reportcomes in that a man is in service, a formletter goes out to his nearest relative ask­ing for verification of the information. InMarch, Columbia reported a total of 4,051in service, but it should be said that theyare liberal in their interpretation of whatconstitutes a person in service, including allsorts of civilian service, even ExemptionBoard workers and Liberty Loan Workers.At Ohio State University the service flagbears 2,430 stars. These stars ate numbered,a definite one being assigned to each par­ticular person in service. Two persons aregiving full time toward the keeping up ofthe war record.Yale reports 5,300 men in active servicein the Army and Navy. Their living alumnitotal 18,000 graduates, but the 5,300 figureincludes non-graduates as well.The dinner on Friday evening, at which.'THE l�IEET1NG' OF ALUMNI SECRETARIESwe were the guests of Yale University,brought forth some really remarkable ad­dresses. The three main addresses were asfollows:1. "The American University Union inEurope and the American University Manin Europe." -Secretary Anson Phelps Stokes,Yale.2. "The War and Athletics."-Dean LeBaron R. Briggs, Harvard.3. "The College Man in Washington."­Dean C. Mathews, Western Reserve, Sec.of the Commission on Training Camp Ac­tivities.In addition there were talks by Professor,also Major, Reed of Yale R. O. T. c., andProfessor Lull of the Naval TrainingI courses. Yale has installed a complete ar­tillery training course which is comparableto that of West Point and which requiresfour full college years for completion. Aman completing the course will, as I under­stand it, receive a degree from Yale andalso a commission in the Army. It seemedto me that about half of Yale's undergrad­uates are now in khaki. In addition theyare provided certain courses in the rudi­ments of naval training which are given byYale professors in co-operation with thegovernment. These, however, are courseswhich may be taken as a part of the reg­ular academic program and do not, in them­selves, constitute a complete college course.These war service activities by Yale notonly result in keeping undergraduates atthe College, but also constitute a verystrong pulling power for getting help forthe University from its alumni.After the sessions of the Conference wereconcluded, I spent some '"time Saturday af­ternoon studying Yale's system for keepingalumni records. Their system is remark­able, and is worked out to the finest detail.Their space for offices and storage, notcounting the space for the Alumni Weekly,is probably about six or eight times as greatas ours. They have a complete alphabet­ical card catalogue and also a completegeographical card catalogue of all gradu­ates and former students. These cards aremade from �tencils so that they also havea complete stencil equipment which can beused -whenever any mail matter is to besent out to alumni. The cards contain thename, address and the class, and constitute 293an index to the larger files. These largerfiles consist of a letter size folder for eachalumnus and former student. The names­are placed on these folders by the stencils.In these folders are kept all kinds of clip-'pings, memoranda, notes sent in by friends,etc. The folders are filed by classes andalphabetically within the classes. Those ofthe holders of two degrees or more arekept with the class of the first degree re­ceived and cross-indexed elsewhere. Allnews notes which come in are carefullychecked with previous records and with theWeekly, to prevent duplications. All warrecords are recorded on a separa te systemwhich consists of a 5x8 card, kept alphabet­ically on a revolving, visible file. The cardsare typewritten and corrected as additionalinformation comes· in. They have severalcard catalogue indices to these records andthese indices are grouped by kinds of serv­ice, by classes, by location, etc No alum­nus of Yale, after seeing anything of theirsystem, could have any feeling that his Uni­versity was overlooking his existence.Monday morning I visited Columbia andstudied their system, which is, ill many re­spects, similar to Yale's. There are somedifferences, however. In the card indexfile at Columbia, they make corrections onthe card, keeping the same card in the file,whereas at Yale, a fresh card is made fromthe stencil every time a change occurs. AtColumbia they have something of the samesort of complications as we have in deter­mining class membership. An alumnus isallowed the privilege of deciding uponwhich class he shall be included in, the onewith which he entered or the one withwhich he graduated. For the most past, Ibelieve, the alumni are classified as of theclass with which they entered, but on thecard is noted the year of graduation. AtColumbia about the same amount of spaceis devoted to the alumni records as at Yale.The wheel horses of the Association,those who have been attending the meet­ings for several years, are Shaw of Mich­igan, Johnson of Minnesota, Embrey .ofYale, Cason of Vanderbilt, Mathews ofWestern Reserve and Tyson of Columbia.My chief criticism of the meeting is thatthe sessions were rather hurried. Other­wise the meeting was quite worth while.The hospitality of Yale and the Yale men294 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEwas splendid. The "do our part to helpwin the war" spirit predominated among themen present. The men were thinking andtalking chiefly of how we can best perfectour university machinery to help in thesuccessful prosecution of the war, and whatwill need to be done after the war. I cameaway imbued first of all with a new feelingof courage, as far as our own plans are con­cerned. The evidence of what alumni ofother universities are doing in these timesto help their Alma Mater through this crit­ical period has, to large extent, cut downmy reluctance to call upon our alumni forhelp. I believe we have not properly edu­cated our alumni along the line of theirresponsibility for the future of the U niver­sity. I fear that we have allowed them togo along too much with the conviction ofundergraduate days that the University of Chicago is rich and needs nothing from itsalumni. President Judson has said that whatwe want from our alumni is their love. Ibelieve that men and women love most thatfor which they make some sacrifice.Although our alumni activities and accom­plishments compare very favorably withthose of other institutions represented atthe Conference in many respects, I am thor­oughly convinced that we are woefully be­hind even many of the smaller institutionsin three respects: first, in our methods ofkeeping alumni records, including our lackof equipment and a definite program forsuch work; second, in our inadequatemethod of handling our war records; andthird, in our limited provision for a staffof workers necessary to do the work prop­erly.John F.

We ought to have one, for now seemsthe logical time for us to try to "get to­gether" and "stick together." But everyoneis so busy and has so many important thingsto take care of that it looks as though no onehas very much time for a reunion. Besides,"The Special" wi Il not appear un til afterAlumni Day, and we cannot use it as a meansfor "drumming up trade" for either AlumniDay or a class reunion.Of course, you have all heard of our twopicnics at the Dunes last summer.

Chevrons;""CHEVRONS"On May 31 appeared the first issue of anew magazine, "Chevrons," published bythe non-commissioned officers' trainingcorps of the University. In this course, or­ganized a year ago by Captain C. L. South­wick, mil itary instruction is given free toall men in the draft who care to take ad­vantage of it. There are classes four nightsa week-Monday, Tuesday, Thursday andFriday-the preliminary work in Bartlettand the School of the Company, School ofthe Battalion, and Extended Order work,in Stagg Field; also special classes in ex­tended order work on Sundays. As "Chev­rons" says:"You remember what the situation was ayear ago-a lot of green men being sent tocamps-with green officers to train them.How serious the situation was these offi­cers can tell vou better than we."Realizing this problem, some of the uni­versity men conceived the idea of a schoolfor non-corns whose purpose "vas to trainthe raw recruit in the elementary duties .ofthe soldier, so that when he reached camp,instead of adding to the burdens of the al­ready overworked officers, he was a virtualGodsend in that he was able to help theofficer train the men in smaller groups."As for the result of the training, Lieu­tenant-Colonel Lawrence Whiting, when hewas Division Personnel Officer at CampGrant, testified, "vVe have found that themen who have been at the University ofChicago U. C. O. T. C. have made good asnon-commissioned officers." "Chevrons"also prints letters from former recruits, ofwhich one follows:Camp Dix, N. ].,May 14th, 1918.Captain C. L. Southwick,N. C. Q.

Howard clock-haverecently been added to the equipment ofthe Weather Bureau Observatory at theuniversity. The two seismographs were designed andbuilt by J. J. Shaw, of England, and werechosen by a committee of weather bureauexperts in Washington after a study of thedifferent types and makes-English, J apa­nese, Russian and German. The Shaw seis­mographs embodied the features and im-302 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEprovemen ts suited for the pier at the uni­versity. The seismographs came safelythrough the submarine zone and wereshipped to Chicago. Mr. B. c. Kadel, chiefof the instrument division of the WeatherButeau! sI?ent three weeks in setting upand adjusting the mstrurnerrts and instruct­ing several observers in the intricacies oftheir mechanism.The pier at the University of Chicagorests on solid rock, and any disturbanceearthquake or explosion will set the pie;in motion. The two seismographs are setto record motions of the earth from all di­rections. One is set due north and southand the other due east and west. The seis­mograph consists of a delicate aluminumboom, which swings a mass of one pound.The boom is suspended in a very fine wireharness and is really a sort of pendulum.Once set in motion it will continue to swingto and fro, with a period which is adjustedto twelve seconds. It is desirable to stop theboom from swinging, so an ingenius copperpiece is fastened at right angles to theboom, and this copper is allowed to swingbetween four powerful magnets, opposedin sets of two. This magnetic field stopsthe swing of the boom. The process iscalled damping. Running parallel and cou­pled to the boom is a very light mirror.Gas is used on a small-sized mantle forlight, as the Shaw seismograph is a photo­graphic instrument. The light from the gasmantle shines on this mirror and is reflectedback at a convenient angle to a lens whichreduces the light to a point. Just back ofthe lens is a cylinder on which is rolled asensitized sheet. The point of light shiningon the rotating cylinder leaves a true, non­friction record of the curves or excursionsof the pier. The sheet turns once an hourand is designed to run twenty-four hours.The time is placed on the sheets by aneclipsing device. A wire circuit from theobservatory clock shuts off the record everysixtieth second, and every fifty-ninth min­ute is missed by a solid fifty-ninth cog inthe clock wheel. So the sheet has everyminute and hour placed directly on therecord photographically.Among the other new instruments soonto be put in place is the Dine pressureanemometer, which has arrived in Washing­ton and is being adjusted. It will be placedin the near future on the southeast cornerof the steel tower which supports the windinstruments. This records the strength ofthe wind and its velocity, especially in thepuffs.The recording rain gauge will be soonplaced in position southeast of Rosenwaldscope and tele-thermograph installed in thethermometer shelter. These instruments out­of doors are connected by a circuit with the"office inside and give any minute the tem­perature of the free air in the shelter. Onemakes a pen record, and the other is abutton device which brings a needle to rest when the indicator is moved to the correcttemperature outside. It is also planned tohave several types of barometers, and athunder storm recorder is also under con­sidera tion.The observatory will be one of the finestin the world, and Professor Henry J. Cox,forecaster for the Chicago district, hasplaced a trained observer in charge of theobservatory's equipment.Recent appointments announced by theBoard of Trustees are:Professor Leon Carroll Marshall, who isDean of the Senior Colleges and Dean ofthe School of Commerce and Administra­tion, to be Chairman of the Department ofPolitical Economy.Mr. Leslie Parker Brown, of the Univer­sity of North Carolina, to be Instructor inSpanish in the Department of RomanceLanguages and Literatures.Mr. Milton T.

More than 40,000Bohemians escorted Professor Masaryk tothe Blackstone Hotel, where the address ofwelcome was given. President Judson inhis address said:"I believe that your work, ProfessorMasaryk, will be crowned with the successit deserves. The ideals for which your peo­ple and mine are contending are essentiallythe same. Those ideals are liberty and jus­tice, which the Bohemian people love aboveall things in the world." In his reply Pro­fessor Masaryk said: "I cannot but remem­ber that it was the University of Chicagowhich invited me a few years ago to lectureon a subject which is now one of thoseuppermost in the minds of the world,namely, the Czecho-Slovak question. You 303are a constant reminder that real, sincerepolitics must be founded on science: Sci­ence is truth, nothing more or less, andpolitical truth is democracy.

I came to Chicago with advanced stand­ing, and as an older student, being twenty­nine when 1. entered. I had some threeyears' work at the University of SouthernCalifornia, which has a geographic locationin Los Angeles somewhat similar to that ofthe U. C. in Chic-ago. At the U. S. C. I wasquite active in student affairs, and especiallyin athletics, having been yell-leader in myjunior year. I was in a position in bothcolleges to study some matters which donot appear as clearly to the average student.It was constantly said by some of thestudents and some of the members of thefaculty that the U. S. C. did not have the"College spirit" that the other SouthernCalifornia colleges had.After coming to Chicago I heard thesame criticism a great many times. Itseems to me that this criticism is quiteclosely related to the crrticism that Prof.Tarbell makes, and while Prof. Tarbell'sexplanation is probably correct in so far asit goes, it does not go far enough. ITo a large body of students in a city uni­versity, college life is pretty much an inci­dent in his home life, while to the student Total 9.in a college town university, college life isa main event. Even the" students who cornefrom other localities to the city universityfind a great many things to prevent themfrom becoming entirely absorbed in theiruniversity life. Does not this fact have agreat bearing on the lack of get-togetherspirit that is evidenced at so many of ourcity universities?I do not wish to imply that Prof. Tarbellwas in any way attempting to make detri­mental criticism of Chicago, but from agreat many personal conversations I hadwith students while at Chicago and at theU. S. C. I know that there 'is a large amountof feeling among the students in such uni­versities that their university does notmeasure up with other colleges where "Col­lege spirit" is so rampant. This feeling isadded to by such a criticism.Personally I have always felt that this co­lege spirit carries with it a large dangerof detracting frorn the main purpose of theuniversity, to prepare the student for thecoming fight, that it is often likely to sendthe student forth with a false attitude, whilethe lack of it at the city university plus thebig opportunity to come into contact withreal life where it is most intense is a de­cided' advantage. I feel that this advantageof a city university over the college townuniversity should be strongly stressed, sothat students may .get the constructive view­point instead of the negative.Very truly yours,F. E. Burleson,Assistant Director, Cincinnati Council ofSocial Agencies..306 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEEaster Sunday.I have been plugging slowly along, learn­ing a little now and then and finally finish­ing up my French brevet training with acouple of hundred and fifty mile cross­country trips. They were great sport, espe­cially the last one, where I had a couple ofextra hours' time to make up to bring mytotal up to the necessity time in thejair tomeet that requirement of the French brevet.I could go joy riding a bit and wander offmy course as far as I dared, without get­ting lost; and getting lost is about one ofthe easiest things on earth to do when youare traveling over strange territory. Allroads look alike, villages and towns don'tbear any particular resemblance to the dotson a map, and when you are passing overat anywhere from 60 to 100 miles an hourit only takes a minute or two to get a longway from where you think you are. Iwandered back and forth to look overstrange towns and interesting chateauxthat I could spot a few miles off the line.In one of my detours I took in a town andmade a couple of circles over it where Ihave since heard "Shorty" Des J ardien andJohnny Breathed were located temporarily.I wish I had known it at the time. Youare allowed one "forced" landing on a trip,and I feel sure I could have forced onethere. As it was, I went on my way un­knowingly and made home, tired butpleased, as I was now a "Pilot."I was cleared out the next day for theacrobatic school. I was entitled to aweek's leave, plus traveling time, to any­where except Paris, but, all things consid­ered, delays to date, etc., I decided on let­ting my vacation go for the present andtook only my three days' traveling time,which allows for a stop-over en route, andthe route can be taken to Paris.So I managed to get in on a bomb raidand the first day of the long-distance can­non. The people take it pretty well, and,in fact, it is a chance shot that does anyreal damage. It is remarkable how manyshots manage to land in the open. Thegun added nothing to my admiration 01the Huns. It is nothing but an instrumentfor murder of the civilian population. Fromwhat I saw, the Germans have no ideawhere a shell will fall. I happened to bequite close to one, and saw the dirt andsmoke go up. It struck in the open, blewa hole about 10x10 ft. by 6 or 8 ft. deep,and scattered out the displaced soil 25 or30 feet. It struck right at the base of astone wart, and seemed to have done it nodamage except to jar a few feet of ironrailing off the top. It struck quite close toa French civilian. He was a fast mover.When the cloud· of dirt went up alongsideof him he hit his stride in a hurry; in fad,passed out from under the umbrella ofdirt before it fell. The last I saw of himhe was traveling fast and far, and stepping high. I can't say I blame him, but I do envyhis speed.At the time I was hanging around therailroad station trying to get out of town,as my time was up. It took me all day toget a ticket and my baggage checked, asthe station lay dormant through the shell­ing. Other activities seemed to function asusual. The people went about the streetsand taxis came and went, and everywherewas apparent unconcern. In fact, manydid not know what was going on. The bangswere few and very far apart, some yeryfaint, and even those close at hand not veryloud. However, the station was shut down.The attendants were fussing around, butwouldn't sell tickets or check baggage. Iexhausted my French trying to convincethem that work was no more apt to at­tract a shell than idleness. The stationstruck me as about the most hkely markin the whole city, and I could have under­stood their attitude if they had beaten itfor shelter, but I still fail to understandwhy they wouldn't work as long as theystayed there.Anyway, after spending all the time from9 a. m. till 2 :35 p. m. in trying, I finallymanaged to catch them off their guard longenough to get a ticket at one time and mybaggage checked at another, and pulledout.This brings me here. It is the secondtime, as I helped build the place last fallin the rain. There has been a wonderfulimprovement. American efficiency is com­ing to the front and it is a real place andhumming with activity. It is surprising thenumber of friends and acquaintances here.There are a number of Chicago boys here,including Red Graham and Tom Burr, RickMathews and Red Foster, and also a bunchof myoId ground-school classmates whotrained in the United States and have hada lot more flying than I have had. Onething, however, Uncle Sam seems deter­mined: that \ when his flyers do go upagainst the Boche they shall be well pre­pared. The work here is very thorough,better, I believe, than either the French orEnglish. But the place is pretty wellcrowded, with a long waiting list, so itwill be some time before I even getstarted and a long time before I will prob­ably. finish up. Right at present I haven'ta thing to do but loaf and bite my nails,and hustle down to the bulletin board to'find out how the English are holding. TheGermans certainly have been raising thedeuce. I hope the worst is over, and itmust have cost them a tremendous numberof men; but the English must have suf­fered greatly, too, and lost a vast amountof supplies, etc. You certainly have to takeyour hat off to the men who hold. It ishard to realize the heights to which thosewho come from the lowest strata can rise.I t gives you a thrill to think of the riff-raffand dregs of such a city as London, whoTHE LETTER BOX 307might have murdered you for the price ofa drink, laying down their lives and delib­erately fighting to the death in hopelessrear-guard actions, unseen and withouthope of reward or the moral support ofothers around to see how they "carryon,"all simply for what they feel is right andthat others may drag away the pricelessguns and supplies. I can't help feelingdifferent about society, and wonder howthings will go after it is over and whetherwe can fall back into the old ruts.Minsk, Russia, Jan. 31, 1918.I have many times intended writing you,even now, since arriving here, but I de­clare I have been a busy man. I shall notbe able to write a great deal, for reasonsyou may guess, but I shall try to give youa brief survey of what I have done.We arrived in Moscow Nov. 5, and passedthrough that week of awful civil war ofwhich I wrote you from there. I knowwhat it is to hear the melodious hum of abullet as it is speeding along not a footfrom my ears-it is rather uncomfortable.About Nov. 28, Reitzel, Chief Secretaryfor the "Western Russian Front," askedfor two men to come to Minsk and openwork here, though he said that Minskmight be taken at any time and it wouldbe dangerous. Mr. Campbell and I werechosen, and were the first men of ourparty to get to work. I took a trip alongthe front line, but as the huts out therewere nowhere near completion (being builtby a Russian organization) and the citybarracks in Minsk offered a bigger oppor­tunity, I decided to take over this work.Minsk is JJ.eadquarters for the WesternFront, and a large, fine hut was verynearly completed. I took charge and in afew weeks finished it up, though I sweatblood trying to push these Russians in toa little speed-a thing they seem utterlyincapable of. You see the revolution madeeach one believe he was in a new world,where each man was his own boss and worknot necessary any more.Finally, on Russian Christmas (Jan. 7,our style) I opened up with a big programand a packed house. Since then we havehad some form of entertainment everynight-usually moving pictures. We have atea room, game room for checkers, chess,etc., writing tables that are always full, anda fine barber shop. We have a fine schoolstarted-s-classes in reading, though withmany it is necessary to teach them theirAB C' s first; classes in arithmetic, geog­raphy, history and English. All want tolearn English and come to America someday.These fellows are wonderfully in earnestin the classes. Education is the thing thatRussia must have before she can emergefrom her present chaos-education of the masses. The masses are on the top now,and very much so-all bourgeois are con­sidered dogs-but their new power cannever be rightly used until they understandwhat it is.Weare not doing war service here, aswe had thought we could, of course; andsome of us are going to France S09n, Iexpect. But we have given the Y. M. C. A.a big boost toward a permanent place here,and I think it has unlimited possibilities.I have a force of nine Russian helpers,who live at the Club. We all eat in thekitchen-two Red Cross sisters for teachingand running the kitchen, two soldiers forcleaning, a barber, a cook and a helper, amovie operator. I just had a lot of pic­tures taken which you will be interested inseeing one of these days.I was in Petrograd the other day andattended the first "All Soviet Meeting" inthe Tauride Palace, after the ConstituentAssembly was dissolved. It was most in­teresting to see this new government ofRussia meeting for the first time with 2,000delegates from all over Russia. There wereno "white collars" in the bunch, and Suer­dloff, who I know personally, introducedthe meeting dressed in a soft, dirty blueshirt. Lenine and Trotsky were there.They are very democratic,· and I believewill work out all right some day.Travel is almost impossible. We weretwo days and nights coming back, withoutsleep or much food, packed away in boxcars like sardines. The weather is not cold-less so than in the United States, I think,though the days are very short. For thelast week it has been about 35° here-verywarm.I often get most hungry for some good,clean American fun. This tragic situationgets on a.fellow's nerves after a while. Rus­sia has few smiles these days and the un­conscious strain is terrific. Once in awhile a few of us secretaries get togetherand break loose in repeated "guffaws," justto relieve ourselves.Of course, the consequences of a longwar are seen allover on the morals of. thepeople, arid I often close my eyes to thingsI see .... One thing we have done here-we have shown these people that a mancan live a clean life in every respect and betrue to his ideals amid whatever circum­stances he may be put. . . . They beginto find that our talk about Christianity andwhat it means is a reality, that it doeschange one's life, that going to the cathe­dral on Sunday morning is not all there isto it.With my. Russian language study I havemade considerable progress. I make aspeech to the soldiers every once in a while.I handle my force here without any inter­preter and we get along fine. If I hadmore time for study, I'm sure _ I . could;speak it well in a short time. . . .Lewis L. Dunnington.308 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAG4ZINEMarine Detachment,u. S. S. -. -.-, on Foreign Service,17 April., I have just had the March issue of theAlumni Magazine, the first copy that Ihave received, and hope that it will be fol­lowed by other numbers. Where the backcopies went to I don't know, but since weleft the States last fall our mails have beenvery erratk-sometimes we get them andthen again we don't. Once we were with­out mail for two months (December andJanuary), and when it finally did come inFebruary we had to consign most of ourChristmas boxes of eats to the cold, graysea. But don't let this deter anyone fromsending candy, smokes, matches, etc., tothe boys, foremost of that was still usable,and candy is an almost unprocurable arti­cle over here. Smokes are fairly easy toget, but matches are very scarce; most ofthe officers in our mess have given up usingthem and are now using little flint and steellighters that we picked up in Paris lastwinter.We have had but one leave in the last sixmonths, and that a brief six days while ourship lay in dry dock But : we made themost of our time and gave both Paris andLondon a short war-time visit. Once amonth we spend out looking for trouble,and quite frequently find it. The rest ofthe time we spend in daily drills, targetpractice, fleet maneuvers, etc. Weare al­ways under four hours' notice for twen ty­two knots, and. every time the Germansmove that four hours is cut to one hour.The past month it has been one or twohours most of the time. When under fourhours' notice we can go ashore to playgolf, football or attend parties that aresometimes given for us, but we must, eventhen, remain within three miles of the ship,so that we can be easily called back.The officers of the --, with a few ex­ceptions, are Naval Academy graduates,and a mighty fine lot of fellows. And thecrew is one that we can all well be proud of.I haven't seen a Chicago man since lastOctober, and if there happen to be anyserving on or near our Foreign ServiceBattle Fleet I wish that they would dropme a line.R. H. Jeschke,First Lieutenant, U. S. Marine Corps.[From a tetter by Unity Wilson, sent in by Ernes­tine Evans.]One of the most impressive things aboutthe work that is going on in the laboratoryof the American Red Cross Hospital ofParis is the extent to which women arecarrying things on. One feels much thesame surprise that H. G. Wells' researchman felt when he returned to his laboratoryand found it so completely, inhabited bywomen and boys, only we haven't even theboys left, their places being taken by thesturdy "femmes de menage," who are mostcapable and clever workers. The hospital, the once famous cancer hos­pital of Doyen, he who was caricaturedstanding, hypodermic needle in hand, upona dragon cancer from whose mouth a streamof lOUIS d'or was pouring, and h.e who a;French jury so quaintly acquitted in a suitbrought against him by a wealthyAmericanwhom he' had 'quite admittedly overcharged,because it was decided that the Americancould well afford to pay the overcharge,was taken over by Major Blake last yearand used chiefly as a fracture hospital. Mostof our blue-eyed poilus have gone now aswe have just become American MilitaryHospital No.2, and our guests now are ourown boys who are taken sick here in Paris.A nice lot they are, too, and quite patheti­cally glad to see the grey uniformed' Ameri ...can army nurses we now have. I fancy thatlong convalescences are very popular when:one can convalesce to the tune of the verylatest magazines and the very. latest thingin victrola music, to say nothing of realAmerican banter.We have unquestionably taken our placein French scheme of things. Y QU recognizeit in the glances of understanding interesttendered you everywhere, in the inevitablequestion: "Quand pensez-vous que la guerresera finie, Madamoiselle?" (your reply beingtaken as oracular), and in the final tributeto our presence in the recently appearedsigns in the subway: "Way out."The laboratory is run under the. directionof Kenneth Taylor, who has for four longyears done quite splendid work findingmeans to combat "gas gangrene" which hascarried off such an appalling number ofwounded soldiers. As result of his re­searches and of others, the percentage ofcasualties from this infection is remarkablylessened. So that it seems really prettyworth whil e to be in it even if we don'thave the thrills of bombs bursting about ourheads. Of course, \we all expect to get outthere eventually, but a little preliminarycourse in hardening ones self to this Frenchclimate and wine before leaving the protec­tion of Paris seems to have been foundpretty advisable.As I say, the first thing which struck mewas the fact that I was shown from roomto room by Dr. Taylor, there seemed to beroom after room occupied by extremelycapable young "Americaines." We havethree graduates of the 1915 class at BrynMawr, two of them studying medicine atJohns Hopkins-Dorothea Moore and At­ala Scudder Davidson. It is amazing theextent to which work is being done underthe handicap war imposed, or a great diffi­culty in getting supplies and equipment.Alas, most really good laboratory equipmentwe used to get from a source no longeropen to us.We have also two experienced New YorkBoard of Health workers, and a most charm­ing English woman, who has been in· thingsfrom the very start of the war.

And thehospitality of the South is not exagger­ated, if my, eight months of experience downhere count for anything. For one learned,for example, the true significance of thephrase, "cutting the melon," last summer,when one was invited to a hospitable backporch, where, after due thumping and cut­ting, watermelons such as one never tastedbefore were distributed in large slicesamong guests, family and servants, to beeaten, standing, in the only proper way.My job has been very interesting, too.Sent down here to aid in the enforcementof the Federal Child Labor La w, now someeight months old, I find the district whichI cover every month to be comprised, in­dustrially, chiefly of cotton mills. My taskis mainly the ascertaining of the ages ofthe children, seeing them and their par­ents, and looking up records of age. Ihave handled more family Bibles than Iknew could exist in one section of thecountry; and very occasionally I have seenrecords extending back to the latter partof the eighteenth century. Some moun­taineer had happened to keep the old Biblein his shack, and, perhaps unable to readhimself, had brought it along when he camedown to the cotton mill.Chicago should be proud of the work ofMiss Grace Abbott, the head of this ChildLabor Division of the Children's Bureau,for she is one of our Ph.D.s, She has aremarkable grasp of the whole situation,as all of us who have been working underher can testify.I am being transferred now from SouthCarolina.

I.Mollie Ray Carroll.Eilingt�n Field, Texas.Chicago seems a long way off down' herein Texas, It was fortunate I secured a pic ....ture of my favorite plane "3Z" (the one onthe postcard) when I did, because "3Z" wil]never fly again. Last week she went into c4tailspin with two· chaps that I know verywell. One was killed outright and the otherhas been hovering between life and deathfor several days. I believe he will recover;but probably will never fly again. They fellabout 50.0 feet and, of course, the machineis only a shapeless' mass of junk. .. .Fate has been very kind to me the 'lastfew months. I have had many harrowescapes but have escaped unhurt so far.Around the field the officers are often heardto say: "The Lord certainly rides in thefront seat with those chaps." This is liter­ally true during the first few weeks oftraining, because I have seen many trulymiraculous escapes. One friend of minefell 2,500 feet and escaped with a fewbruises of no consequence. If you were toslip and fall on the sidewalk on a slipperyday you would probably be bruised upmore than he was. The machine was ut­terly demolished.Ellington Field is being converted into anadvanced training school tor bombers. Thetraining here is not to be equaled at anyaviation camp in the country. Whatevermistakes the War Department may havemade elsewhere, I can say that they havedone a mighty good job at our field. Weget lots of flying and will soon be sent toAberdeen, Maryland, where we wilt getsome real practice with live bombs. Herewe only practice with dummies made ofconcrete, containing a little black powder,so as to throw up a puff of smoke uponimpact with the ground.Cross country flying is really the mostsport of all. To drop down on some; tinyout-of-the-way village, where, perhaps, noother plane has ever landed,-that is reatlyinteresting. The whole countryside comesrunning out-men, women and children. Ihave made a number of fast friends at theselittle places. Once I was stuck over atEagle Lake, Texas, about seventy milesfrom here, with a leaky radiator. I wasthere three days, over Sunday, and meteveryone and went everywhere.

ExceptCaptain Rudolph, an old hand, and Long,substitute last year, the team was made upof sophomores, one of whom (Elton) neverplayed baseball before this spring The lackof team spirit resulted in unforunate dis­sensions, for most of which one must re­gretfully hold Captain Rudolph responsible.On June 2nd E. C Terhune, '20, waselected captain for 1919Track.-The two dual meets so far heldwere both defeats, Illinois winning at U r­bana 70%-65% and Michigan at Chicago86-49. Enlistments riddled the team; acci­dents to Annan, '19, and Feuerstein, '18,completed the destruction. McCosh, '19, isthe best distance runner in the Conference,and Gergas, '19, is very good in the weights;he has gone into the Navy, however, andwill probably not appear in the Conferencemeet, though he is eligible. Under the cir­cumstances nobody will be more surprisedthan Mr. Stagg if the team takes twenty­five points on June 8.Tennis.-Chicago lost the doubles cham­pionship in tennis, but Captain N ath, '19,and Pike, '20, fought out the singles cham­pionship, Pike winning 6-2, 2-6, 6-3, 6-3. Chi­cago won all the dual meets, beating Michi­gan twice, Ohio State and Wiscorisin ; ameet with Oberlin was also an easy victory.Footbal1.-Spring practice was morestrenuous than ever before, though thesquad was very small.
