Pack together all idle garments today. Don't wait until to-morrow. Getyour parcel started by sending it to a localRed Cross Chapter immediately, becauseit has more than 3,000 miles to travelbefore it reaches its destination. The RedCross has agreed to ship abroad 10,000tons of clothing to the liberated countriesof Europe as soon as that amount can becollected. "Over there" men, women andchildren are in rags, and every delay increases their suffering. Any warm garmentthat is whole and clean is acceptable. Warmunderwear is a veritable luxury to the refugees and hosiery has long been a thingof the past.Get together whatever you can spare,but "DO IT NOW!"SAVING ON SERVICEIn any plan for national economy, Britishspecialists think that the household, ratherthan the family, should be taken as a unit.Under household consumption, they include, (1) services rendered maintainingthe house and its inmates, (2) the goodsconsumed or acquired by the inmates, (3)the general charges of cleaning, decorating,offsetting deterioration, etc.As a start in a saving program, theBritish Commission has pointed out thatservices should be valued even more highlythan goods, as each person doing unnecessary and unproductive work not only consumes without producing but is also depriving the country of possible productivepower. Translated into terms of Americansaving, this service idea would mean — "donot hire done what you can do for yourselfin spare time that is not directly profitable."Few Americans are really honest withthemselves as to the cost of services. Notone family in a hundred really knows .whata servant actually costs. Most of themplace the cost of her wages, and fail tocount in her food, light, an-d- other thingsshe consumes. Most of them, moreover,have no way of figuring correctly the extrawaste of food, or extra breakage or wearand tear due to the fact that the servantdoes not have the interest of ownership formaking things go as far as possible. Few families know, at the end of the year, theimportant total that the "odd job" 'man,or hedge cutter or grass trimmer hascost them for service that might wellihavebeen rendered as recreation or needed' outdoor exercise by the man or boys of thefamily. This, of course, 'does not mean that.no service should be purchased. Wherea housewife's time is worth more in moneyor other contribution to family well beiqgthan the cost of a servant, she makes aprofit by employing someone who frees herto do better paid work than householdtasks. In many cases, physical or personalreasons make it essential to the welfare ofthe family to have help, but often the timesaved to the members of the household byservants is not utilized profitably in amonetary way, or even in a way to makefor real happiness or advancement.Saving on service will give many peopleimportant sums to lend to their governmentand save for themselves through War Savings Stamps. In the case of children suchwork is not only a practical means ofearning and saving, but in itself is a valuable discipline for life.OUR GUNSHAVE SPOKENMOST EFFECTIVELYLet Your MoneyClinch the ArgumentThrough theFIFTHLIBERTY LOANO M« kS.3 ^n!)■« 0--Ol<Mto vcS - -e u « c>, 2 E u 3+J +J 0) x vCO'Sw<.JHi ■2 8S3 »& o o^ Ui +jS ^ o" g? «.3 M 0 ft.5 J=,°■s&o.ssM'.S.fc'S'uC fe c ,„J5■a v <o «><£O .B-o «•-:£ « » h0,a.«SS^ ^ CO. tflO rC « w■ 5-pC> rtfL, u 9E..C.Q"> O W *, ft,,b H « OJ*2 ™c „; C +JCO V.H„ ° s urf o rt O196University of ChicagoMagazineVolume XI APRIL, 1919 No. 6Events and DiscussionThere is a strange exhilaration in thethought of the coming reunion in June. Notthe twentieth anniver-The June sary, with its spontane-Reunion ous, alumni-conductedcelebration, fireworks,torchlight procession (remember the holesin your coat where those deadly chemicalsfrom Brent Vaughn's flame-sticks roosted?)and its most elaborate floats; not the twenty-fifth, with its days of formal celebration,its scholastic dignitaries, its huge attendance, seemed on their eves to promise thespirit of this after-the-war assembling. Thespirits of those who have gone from usforever will hover, to teach us what "almamater" really means. Is it a piece of imagining, a theory only, that the war, comingat just this time in our history, has touchedour traditions and our recollections intosudden light? Are we a university in feelingnow, as we have been in accomplishment?Do those of the older alumni who arepassing into middle age feel truly the renewal of their youth, the materialization oftheir ideal, in the Chicago of today? Ouryounger men have fought the good fight,our women and our older men have kept thefaith. The university they have lived inand loved is part of their spiritual reward.Come you back, you Chicago soldiers, youChicago workers! There is a promise inthe air, the promise of a reunion of heartsas well as of classes. Here are the oldquadrangles, compact but fine, the old build ings, massive and beautiful, and about thema new touch of confidence in the not-distantattainment of our own old dream. Comeyou back, and see.Michigan has asked James Rowland Angell to be its president. When this iswritten, three weeksDean after the offer wasAngell known to the public, hehas not announced hisdecision. Maybe, therefore, the editorshould refrain from comment. But surelyit is not unreasonable or unethical to remarkthat the university, from President Judsonto the chance freshman who may happento have come in contact with Dean Angell,are hoping that he will stay where themajor part of his life and almost the wholesum of his educational service have beenspent. James Burrill Angell, his father, waspresident of Michigan for many years, as allChicago alumni know. But the call to thepresidency of Michigan rests not a particleon sentimental considerations. Dean Angellis one of the foremost experimental psychologists in the country; one of the mostcompetent executives in university administration; one of the friendliest, most considerate gentlemen who ever wielded power.His capacity for getting things done wiselyis amazing; still more amazing is his detestation of anything like steam-roller tactics;most amazing of all the freshness of hisspirit. Not for nothing was he one of197THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEMichigan's famous athletes. If he goes, thebond of union between Michigan and Chicago will become very real; but if he decides to stay, there will be bonfires on theroof of Cobb.In the current quarter two hundred andfifty-five scholarships are held on the La-Verne Noyes Founda-The Noyes tion. Think that over.Scholarships Two hundred and fifty-five men who were inthe service of the country are getting theireducation free. It is a situation entirelyunparalleled in any other endowed institution in the country. Already the method ofgranting these scholarships has assumedthe dimensions of a problem. There aremore than twice as many applicants asscholarships. Many have already attendedthe university. About them, definite information is possible to get. But applicationshave come in from Maine to California,from men whom nobody in Chicago reallyknows anything about. Another matter isthe relative weight to be placed on the fourconsiderations of length and quality ofmilitary service, scholarship, general promise and need. Something under a hundredscholarships are now held by men whosewhole service was in the S. A. T. C. Shouldthey be allowed to retain these, in view ofthe longer service records of many mennow applying? There are many other similar questions before the committee. Butthe scholarships as a group have the possibility of being almost a unique asset. Forthrough them, can we not in a way nationalize the university? Can we not spread itsinfluence more widely than it has beenspread before? Can we not bring togetherhere men of the finest type from east, west,north and south, to meet in a union equallyvaluable to them and to the university as awhole? The Noyes scholarships are aproblem; but they quicken the imagination.Figures on the attendance for the springquarter are not yet available, but indications are that it isAttendance the largest in threeyears. By April 5 everycourse offered in the junior colleges in the morning was full to the limit, and most of,the afternoon courses were equally full.One course in problems in current historyhas a hundred tmd fifty registrations — thelargest this present editor remembers. Thelaboratories in Ryerson and Kent are socrowded that they overflow. There are between seven and eight hundred undergraduate registrations in the department of English alone — in the spring quarter; and atleast half as many in political economy.The old students who have been in serviceare flocking back, and new ones are pouringin. The various fraternities are boastingchapters larger than ever. The number ofmen out for various lines of athletics is unusually great. There are strange timescoming; it seems as if either the generationwishes the tool of education to help builda wall against destruction, or else that, withthe match set to Rome, Nero has multipliedhimself into a thousand fiddlers. Which viewyou take depends on whether you are anoptimist or a pessimist.Alumni ought to know that the chiefeditorial writer of the "Stars and Stripes,"official paper of the A.The Stars E.

The men that jammed the transport's holds, that crowded the box cars,that marched up against machine gun andshrapnel, were told that they were makingthe world — not America, nor East Orange,nor California, but the world — safe fordemocracy in a war against war.Through the dirt and sweat of the endless hikes, the mud, the shell fire, there was not much talk of policies. It was just,"We're here because we're here."Then one day in the morning it wasover. No more big ones, no more gas,no more top to go over — just waiting.

You know I'm at the Information Office of the hospital, and aswe're right in the middle of town, almostanything is likely to come in the gate. Thismorning it was a Frenchman wanting theaddress of the nearest vendor of MagicCorn Cure — it happened to be Schenectady— and every day there's something different.I've had some pretty tough cases to handle. Some of them have got under myskin principally because there wasn't anything we could do, and tonight as I gotthinking about it I achieved the following product. Now that it's written I'm notgoing to throw it directly in the waste basket, and so am forwarding it to you foraction.You may have some idea, but I don'tthink you know how strongly we feel it,of the hankering a man has to put his feelings down in verse. It's all so new, sowonderful, so inspiring and so different thatsometimes I wish I could just sit down andwrite a book or an epic or something aboutit all. The sensation in the aggregate issomething the way one feels when he getshis first view of the Grand Canyon, or ofLake Louise. For a particular instance,take Christmas Eve in the wards. Onechap lying in bed, with enough lumber andrope hitched on him to make a bobsleigh,and looking as if he might die tomorrow.The .other boys were singing down towardthe middle of the room, and then all wentup to his -bed. He happened to sing alusty whiskey tenor, and there he lay, afirst class ghost, harmonizing in the upperreaches of "In the Evening by the Moonlight." Imagine seeing a whole lot ofthings that affect you as that would, andthen you can see why poetry begins to besomething else than lawful prey for Harriet Monroe. C'est defendu.Yes, I know he's dying, but you see wehave to make the rule,Just because we're here to care forwounded soldiersNot to fight the sickness war must bring,Sickness ■•that comes to underfed children and anxious women,I should like to send some one to help,but I have told you.C'est defendu.Ce sera impossible.You understand that we would like tohelp refugees,But because we're here to care forwounded soldiersIt is not permitted to give you foodFood you've needed, aye, and well deserved for four long years,But if we give to you we must give tohundreds like youCe sera impossible.Tant pis.If there were any opportunity for workI'd surely tell youBut because we're here to care forwounded soldiers,It is necessary to have our women andour men specially trained,More than just to sew, to sweep, to washand fold the clothes.I would gladly offer you the work youask for, but as it is you must shrug yourshoulders —Tant pis.Not so strongly reminiscent of Keats andShelly, as I glance back over it, but thenearest thing I can do in the way of expressing what I have felt as the Frenchpeople came in, got the old answer, andwent out again. Some of them with thewhole family and their belongings in asmall sack along with them — work, something to eat, doctor to see somebody. Andin the meantime I've heard some wonderful varieties of French.We still have plenty to do, because theTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEarmistice left us with a houseful of young-gentlemen with no special place to go.Maybe we'll get away from here by March.I wouldn't care if we started the New Yearright and cleared next week. One reasonthis is the china and porcelain center ofthe globe is that you can gather enoughclay and mud on one foot any time fromOctober to May to start a breakfast setfactory in your own front hall. SunnyFrance. May I smile?I hope everything is settling down tonormal in the shortest possible time. TheUniversity has certainly had a big shake-upin the past twenty months, but I think we'llcome out of it as well as anyone. I wasvery sorry to hear of your brother's death,but I can't think of a finer way to go, ifhe had to go. Please remember me to anyof my friends you may see, especially Mr.Moulds and the English department.Sincerely,Lawrence.Sgt. 1st CI. L. J. MacGregor, B. H. 13,A. P. O. 753, FranceShirley Farr, '04, Tells of Red Cross andOther Activities in FranceBase Hospital 99, Hyeres, (Var).I've a chance at an office typewriter thismorning and am going to take advantageof the opportunity to send a letter to you.Perhaps what we are doing now isn't ofgreat interest, but I guess I'll tell you aboutthings and you can pass this along.When I wrote you from Paris I carefullyabstained from saying how uneasy manyof us who had come the last ten days before the armistice felt. Everyone kept saying there was plenty of work left to do,but after the first exciting days of rejoicing were over and we were just waitingfor assignments some of us got a littleanxious. No one can travel without a"red worker's card" as it is always calledand it took two weeks for mine to comethrough. I got some consolation in helping Red Cross and Army people about allsorts of things where some one had tospeak French.In the end, however, I was very fortunate in being sent down here as a recreation hut worker. When I arrived the Red Crosshad just rented an old third class restaurant to be used as club rooms for enlistedmen. I was turned loose to fix the placeup and as it had been closed for a yearthe first few days were devoted to scrubbing. I never looked into a dish or draweror cupboard without saying: "That will donicely when it is washed." Later Isearched the town for equipment of varioussorts — you can hardly imagine the excitement of buying a doughnut kettle inFrance — and after a week we had our opening tea and settled down to steady work.There are two big rooms with writing materials, games and cards, papers and magazines, a piano and American phonograph(I regret to say there are only twelve records and I know they will haunt my entirefuture life) and a small circulating libraryof A. L. A. books. The books have onlybeen here a couple of weeks and are such acomfort. Everyone who ever turned in avolume may rest assured he did somethingfor the boys, those who are up and aroundbut not strong enough to walk much do sowant to be amused and reading matter isalways in demand. Every afternoon Iserve chocolate or tea — it is surprising howwell the men like tea — and bread and butteror bread and jam or doughnuts. In thecourse of six weeks I have had four different doughnut makers, the army stole twofrom me, and two have been sent home, thelast one leaving today, and I am on thelookout for a fifth. My assistant and Ihave decided we will make them ourselvesat least once a week if necessary, but it israther a large order in addition to our otherduties. We always provide for from sixto eight hundred though I don't believethere are ever more than three hundredfifty men in any one afternoon. They knowI am more than glad to serve "seconds"and even "thirds" after everybody has hadhis first serving and it is fun to see themcome round and round if there is an extrasupply of bread. The "line-up'' at 3:30 windssnakily through both rooms and half ablock down the street. Most of the boysseem so young and on the whole so contented — in spite of the question alwaysuppermost in their conversation, "when doLETTER BOX 203you think we are going home?" — that ithardly 'seems possible that they are thesame men we read about as holding andthen driving the Germans back at ChateauThierry, who lay under the German gunfirefor weeks on the Vesle, who advanced sofast at St. Mihiel that they overtook outown barrage, and who went through whatwas perhaps the worst fighting of the war,in the Argonne forest. And yet when therush is over and I go around seeing thatthe plates are full of Prince Albert forpipes and cigarettes, I often sit down andtalk with a group and find they have beenin all these things — I mean different ones.Lately, too, I have had quite a number whohave been from three to eight months inGerman prison camps, and tell, almost withtears, that they wouldn't be here now if itweren't for the boxes of food which theRed Cross sent them: they saw the Russians- die by fives and tens from lack ofproper food. By all this you can see thatthere is real satisfaction in helping makethese men more comfortable and contented while they stay here waiting to bewell enough to be sent home. Many ofthem have not been paid for months andwould have to go without tobacco, sweetsand all sorts of clothing and amusements,if they were not freely supplied by theRed Cross, which supplements the armyminimum. As I have already writtensomeone else, we aren't helping win thewar, but there is something in helping tomake happier the men who did win it.There are six hospitals (convertedhotels) ill this center, one for officers, onefor all surgical cases, and four for privates.I believe three thousand men are supposedto be the total capacity, but for a coupleof weeks we had four thousand. There aretwo or three Red Cross workers now ineach hotel who give out the permanentsupplies (socks, sweaters, shirts, handkerchiefs, etc.) and superintend the eveningentertainments. At first we were one toeach place but now there is plenty of personnel.I now have a very nice little assistant, aMichigan girl, whose presence has allowedme to slow up a little the past ten days.We also have two French women in the kitchen for the heavy work. One amusingthing is their admiration of our boys. Theyand Madame the proprietress (who visits usnow and then) declare that American soldiers are marvelously well behaved. Madamestarted it by telling me that it would bequite impossible to have two or threehundred French soldiers and "just one woman to keep them in order." I immediatelypointed out to her that they kept themselves in order and that on the few occasions when any arrangements had to bemade all I had to do was to explain whatwas wanted and they did it at once. Thereare always half a dozen of the boys whohelp out in the serving as Miss Haeth andHelen Morgan and I couldn't possibly doit alone. The last named is an interestingchild with an American father, an Englishmother and born and brought up in France.She speaks English with a French accentand puzzles the boys very much until theyknow her history. She has helped me outat tea time almost from the beginning andher mother was most helpful to the RedCross when things were just getting startedan no one knew the town or its possibilities.SundayAs you see, I couldn't finish this Fridayas the boys wanted to lock up and go tolunch. We had a baseball game here yesterday between two teams brought downfrom Marseilles and are going to try towork up a team from each hotel. I wentout to see it yesterday. Fairly interestingas a game, but most amusing from thecomments, all with a strong army flavor.Any man who muffed things too much wasconsigned to K. P., a foul became a dud,and so on. And there was the additionalflavor of far-away-from-homeness in sittingand watching the Mediterranean betweeninnings and following the shadows as theycame up across the lies d'Or, the sea of thedeepest blue and the_ islands all in grayand mauve.As for my personal affairs, I am livingin one of the hospital hotels with the twowomen who work in it. At first we hadtwo rooms and then the house was very fullfor a while and we squeezed into one andTHE UNIVERSITY OFare still there. It is rather crowded butwe have a bath room to ourselves; theofficers' mess is very good and it costsabout a third of what it would to live in■either one of the French hotels that arestill open.For some days we have been the preyof all sorts of rumors as to how long wewould be here, but yesterday the Lieutenant in charge of supplies received ordersto lay in stock for three months, so itlooks as though we would stay until thefirst of May. I wouldn't want to bearpund much later than that because Iunderstand it gets pretty hot. After thatno one knows whether the Red Cross willhave further work for us or whether it willbe a case of going home. The Frenchrailroads are so thoroughly demoralizedand fearfully over-crowded that thereseems to be no question of staying nowto do any ordinary traveling. And that,of course, isn't taking into considerationthe difficulties with papers, cartes d'alimen-tation, etc.I haven't tried to tell you about theplace; it is too big an undertaking; youmust fill it with palm trees and oranges(pretty sour) and roses, pepper trees,mimosa, etc. We've had only five or sixdays of rain in the last seven weeks andthere have been perfect floods north ofus. The new boys as they come in, alwaysask first, "Does it rain all the time here?"The ones who came on Christmas day wereso impressed by the sunshine and blue sky,as we went up and down the lines at thestation we heard nothing but exclamationsof joy. There was just one orange tree insight, but it made them as happy as awhole grove. They had come from Allerey(where Alice L. Herrick is) and it is anawful mud-hole. By the way, Helen Mageewas down here for a while too, but is gonenow. She was at the hotel the furthestout of town so I didn't see her often. Butin spite of the vegetation it isn't hot here,the thermometer goes down to freezingquite frequently, and after sunset there isa wicked sort of heavy cold dampness thatsettles down and chills one very easily,This used to be an English -winter resort, CHICAGO MAGAZINEand they are so used to damp that maybethey didn't mind this, and the sun andscenery are fine, but I don't believe theplace could ever be very popular withAmericans. We aren't hardened to thehumidity. The hills around here are manyof them very abrupt and sometimes quitebare at the top, but there is one directionin which they are wooded and more gentlyrounded and make me feel quite homesickfor Vermont.Sipcerely,Shirley Farr.Patterson, '17, Sends the Football "Dope"From a Hospital in FranceDear "Teddy'':I am far enough away to get familiarwithout getting one of those snappy remarks to put me in my place, therefore allthe familiarity. I couldn't start out anyother way, though.At the present moment I am holdingdown my bed in B. H. No. 13, where I havebeen a patient for about a month and ahalf. It is a gay life to be a patient inyour own hospital. The other Chicago menhere have done everything for me and havekept the old Chicago "pepper1' going. Wehave a great crew here and all the boyshave been setting a great pace in the proverbial battle of the S. O. S.The good magazine which I have justread from thither to thither roused me sothat I felt I must write something to youFootball is a good topic. I read a littlesally entitled "Prospects for Next Fall (?)''and was surprised to see "Quick, Watson,the needle!" as the final line. You onlymentioned a few children. I have beentalking to quite a lot of the old Maroonsand don't see where the other colleges aregoing to have a praper. There is no reasonin the world why "Red" .Graham, "Gene"Rouse, Frank Pershing, "Tubby" Gruschand a few others won't be there to makeBlocki, Bryan and the rest step along.How "Hig" can be kept from blocking upthe line is some question too. Kahn willgo back stronger than ever. It's going tobe a wild battle to stop Chicago next fall.LETTER BOX 205I'll bet I have left out some world beatersat that. I think of "Dutch" Gorgas andStew Cochrane pushing the boys over.Now, I think that "Watson, the needle!"is due. A couple of banged up legs can'tkeep me from exercising my lungs on thesubject of football. I am not responsiblefor all the above chatter as Gene Rouseand Red Graham went over the subjectwhile perched on my bed a few weeks ago.Red, by the way, was dressed like a youngsideshow. If he had on anything thatwas regulation I failed to recognize it.I am pretty late in writing, but want tosay that it is a real "red letter" day when"the magazine" comes to Base 13. LarryMac Gregor and I usually go over the dopeand then I have a session with Tiny Harteor Higgins. Charlie Bent and Sam Rother-mel usually are in on the talkfest.We all have felt the blow of "Spike's"death and that of "Goett." I guess theygot "Rick" too. All of our Chicagomen have done something to make another good page in our University history, but it sure is tough to think that someof the boys won't ever be back.Your work is great; keep the A. E. F.in mind.Sincerely,Pat.Sgt. B. A. Patterson, U. S. A. Base Hospital No. 13, A. P. B. 753, France.A Card From Dorothy Philbrick, '14Dear T.

Have been over sinceAugust — was fortunate in being with AliceLee Herrick at Base 26 at Allerey untilDec. We've both been transferred since,and she has been moved again. We're hoping to go up to Coblenz together to dosome work. There is no immediate prospect of people in our line coming home —the need is great as ever. My address iscare Am. Red Cross, Place de Rivoli, Paris.Dorothy Philbrick (1914). Coulter, '18, Relates of Some Pelham Bay,N. Y., ExperiencesPelham Bay Park, N. Y.,Mr. David A. Robertson,Secretary to the President,University of Chicago.My Dear Mr. Robertson:As you may possibly have wonderedwhat became of a certain ex-student by thename of Coulter, whom President Judsonso kindly recommended to Capt. Moffetlast spring, I will give you a brief summary of his experiences in the navy.After the usual standing by for physicalexamination, interview, etc., at Great Lakes,through President Judson's letter and thatof Lieut. Green, '05, I was transferred tothe ensign's school at the Municipal Pierwith about eighty-five other Great Lakesmen. During the six weeks we spent thereI succeeded in making sufficiently highgrades to be chosen among the fifteen menfrom the company who were to be sentfor a cruise on the Atlantic instead of onthe Great Lakes. Our headquarters thusbecame the Officers' Material School atNew York City. After a two months' cruisewe were called in for .an examination forthe final school about December 1st. I hadlittle trouble with this, as we had . beenunder unusually good officers at sea, andmade a 92 on the final. On Jan. 6th we reported at Pelham Bay Park for the finaleight weeks' course at the Officers' Material School.After the first few days here an opportunity of obtaining an honorable dischargeat once was offered to men who were married, had urgent business, or wished toreturn to college. An order from Washington stopping all releases was impending,which would necessitate remaining in theservice anywhere from two to eight monthslonger. My wife had recently had serioustrouble ' with tuberculosis of the wrist,which had resulted from an injury, and itwas advisable that she be removed fromthe strain she was under at home becauseof her grandmother's being ill and continually under a nurse's care. I was therefore confronted with the question of staying in the service for the satisfaction ofTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEa commission or returning home and resuming my work with Halsey, Stuart &Co., so that we could have our own homeagain. Needless to say I chose the lattercourse and my application was acceptedsome days ago. It is indeed disappointingto have to give up at this time, particularlywith only a few weeks of a long, and attimes, hard, course ahead of me, and withthe knowledge that no University of Chicago men have (according to Lieut. JohnGreene, who is now the head medical officer of the schools here) failed to acquitthemselves creditably at Pelham. I amglad now, however, that I took the step Idid, as the order from Washington wassoon confirmed and as I have no desireto stay in the merchant marine.There were five U. of C. men in thpNovember graduating class here, of whomR. B. Kraetsch, '18, and Eugene Williams,'16, were ranked among the ten best menin the class and were asked to stay and ac<as instructors. There are four men in thepresent class, two of whom, Albion Holden,'20, and Lester Siedschlag, '18, are beingcommissioned this week.I am certainly sorry that circumstancesat home are not such that I could stay andtry to keep up the record here, and surelywish to thank you for your efforts in getting me started on the road to a commission. Should there be further nationalcomplications I think I would be able toreport directly to an officers' materialschool and would be ready for active dutyin a very short time. We will trust, however, that the impending peace will be alasting one.May I express my appreciation and admiration of the very creditable way inwhich our University has conducted itselfduring the entire war.Very truly yours,J. Milton Coulter, '18.Smith, Ex, Writes that "Pete" Russell WonDivisional Football GameDemange aux Eaux, FranceFebruary 25, 1919.My dear Mr. Moulds:Your letter :>f January 2s with the newsot the alumni, and the kind invitation for the June re-union reached me in good time.Believe me I would give a lot to be therein June, but the clouds look rather grayright now, and I'm afraid our division willnot be sent home before the middle ofsummer. However, I'm planning to bepresent at the big football game this fall —whose turn is it to get a drubbing by theMaroons, Illinois or Wisconsin?It would be great to be back for the Junere-union and if there is anything like luckenough to get us back this spring I shallcertainly be on hand. It would be a regular old home-coming, wouldn't it? Youare right, the men who have made thesupreme sacrifice will live always in thememory of their fellows, and in the traditions of Chicago. What better monument?Perhaps you will be interested in knowing that Pete Russell is up to his old tricksin football, and it was his toe that won thebig divisional game between the Fifth andthe Eighty- Eighth last week at Esch, Luxemburg. The Fifth beat us 3 to 0. Threedays previous to this the two teams battled in a sea of mud and slime at Gondre-court, in our area, to a scoreless tie. Imissed seeing both games, as I had theluck to have a three day leave in Paris, butthe fellows who did see the game giveRussell lots of credit for his ability, andhis gameness. Perhaps it was a good thingI didn't see the game; I might have yelledat the wrong time.Thank you for news of the quadrangles. I was glad to hear of the campusand to know that things are resumingtheir normal aspect again. You pay metoo high a compliment, I fear, in thinkingmy letter was worth publishing. Trustingthat some kind fairy will change the dopeon us so that I can make it in June, butyou may be sure I'll be there as soon as Ican, I remainSincerely yours,Frederick C. Smith,Sgt. Hq. Det. 313 Am. Train., AmericanE F., A. P. O. 79."..Censored by1st Lieut. F. A.OF THE QUADRANGLES 207News of the QuadranglesMarch, in activities, came in like a lionand went out like a lamb. In studies,March came in like a lamb and went outlike Satan himself; merely meaning thatduring the latter days of March crammingand examinations held forth. The University, even after a vacation, has hardly recovered. The so-called highbrows werevastly pleased to hear that Robert Nichols,young English poet, was to speak at Man-del on March 6. He didspeak on "New Elizabethans," to a crowded house,and everyone was morepleased than ever. Hispresence didn't seem tofeaze the lowbrows becausethe freshmen held a classdance in Bartlett after thelast basketball game (aflivver by the way — thegame), and the sophomoresheld a class tea at the AlphaDelta Phi house the nextafternoon. Mr. Nichols' lecture was one of the WilliamVaughn Moody series. JohnGalsworthy, whom everyone must know, gave another Moody lecture April9. The campus really appreciates these Moody lectures; one is assured of aninteresting, delightful evening.One of the biggest campus events now in preparation is the 1919 Blackfriarsproduction to be given inMay, headed by Abbot Frank Breckenridge,'19, and coached by Hamilton Coleman, whohas coached the last four shows. "TheNaughty Nineties" is the show this year, andSamuel Kaplan, '14 and John Webster, '00,are authors. Kaplan did the "Student Superior" and is rather famous around University circles; Webster is more or less of amystery. Rehearsals are now in full swing.Friday, March 7, the Reynolds club wasthe scene of frenzied voting for the yearlyofficers. That night, at a club dance whichfollowed the Portfolio, it was announcedthat Moffet Elton, '20, had been electedpresident; George Serck, '20, vice-president;Theodore Helmholz, '21, secretary; PaulHinkle, '20, treasurer; and Stanton Speer,'20, librarian. The final social function wasthe Pan Hellenic dance, revived after considerable dust-gathering, at the Cooper-Carlton hotel, March 14. It was a realdance, they say (and L say). No doubtSamuel Kaplan, '14Author, with John Webster, '00,»f "The Naughty Nineties," thefifteenth annual comic opera ofthe Blackfriars, to be presentedMay 16, 17, 23 and 24. Also author,with Leon Stolz, of "The StudentSuperior," the 1914 production.there will be another Pan Hellenic nextyear. That afternoon the juniors, not to beoutdone, held their sole winter quarter social function, a successful dance, in theReynolds Club.Of more serious and academic events, theRenaissance Society exhibited numerouspaintings, done by Herman Rosse, in IdaNoyes Hall during the week of March 11.Arthur Winters, '21, won the twenty-fivedollar poetry club prize.Of really exciting events:let's see. Toward the closeof the quarter Dean Angell,who acted as president during President Judson's absence abroad, was offeredthe chair at Michigan. Atthe present writing no announcement has been madeby Mr. Angell as to whathis plans are, but one is expected soon.One of the most dangerous expeditions of the twentieth century is the remodeling of Ellis Hall, now taking place, to suit the needsof the University PressBookstore. The contractorshave bitten off the northeast corner, near the officesof Deans Boynton and Linn,and Ellis looks wobblierthan ever; but the Pressaffirms they will have a finebookstore in due time. Thecashier's office will be extended to the present quarters of the bookstore.A new club has been born — the Commerce and Administration Club. Elaborateplans for a council and governing bodyhave been worked out, and a president is tobe elected soon, -I believe.The ladies have been busy. Their Madras campaign netted $1,450. The W. A. A.elections resulted as follows: Helen Sulzberger, '19, president; Florence Falkenau,'20, vice-president; Marion Meanor, '21, secretary; Marjorie Winslow, '21, treasurer.The League's Friendship Dinner was givenMarch 6, where it was announced thatFrances Henderson, '20, would be the president for the 1919-1920 season of the Y.

Track. — Michigan won the indoor conference championship at Evanston, March21, with 34^ points; Chicago was secondwith 32J^; the others trailed down to Wisconsin, which got one point. The meetwas the most exciting in years. Michiganscored in every event. Chicago did notplace in the hurdles, the sprint, the highjump, or the pole vault. But first in thequarter, first and second in the half, fjrstand second in the mile, and first and thirdin the two-mile piled up a lot of pointsand almost offset the work of Johnson ofMichigan, who captured fifteen points.When the relay was called, the score wasMichigan, 31^, Chicago, 27^. If Chicagowon and Michigan did not place, Chicagohad the meet. Chicago won, very easily;but Michigan took second. Some alumniwill recall the 1915 meet at Urbana, wherein the same way Wisconsin, by getting second to Chicago in the relay, won the meetby one point. The star for Chicago wasCapt. McCosh, who won the mile in slowtime, and then in the two-mile after a beautifully judged race nipped Sedgwick ofMichigan, outdoor conference champion,right at the tape in 9:48. Moore of Chicago,who took third, ran well under ten minutes.The oddest race of the evening was thequarter. On the final turn Kennedy ofChicago was fourth, hopelessly beaten. TheMichigan man leading edged out from thepole, the Illinois man followed, so did theNorthwestern man; they left Kennedy abeautiful little lane about a yard wide on thepole; he saw his chance and with a burstreached the tape ahead by five feet. Mr.Stagg said afterwards that in all his experience he had never seen anything quitelike it.The team outdoors looks good. Capt.McCosh is in a class by himself in the conference, and is practically sure of ten pointsin the big meet. E. H. Moore can placein the two-mile; Lang possibly in the mile;Speer looks best in the conference in thehalf, and Lewis may place; Kennedy, Harris, Hale and R. M. Moore are about equallygood in the quarter and should get twoplaces among them; R. M. Moore may dosomething in the hurdles; Gorgas will placein the shot and should win the discus; Graham is doing fairly well in the vault.The schedule follows: April 19, Drakerelays at Des Moines: April 26, Penn relaysat Philadelphia: May 3, Purdue at Lafayette; May 10, Wisconsin at Stagg field: May17, Michigan at Ann Arbor; Mav 24, Illinoisat Stagg field; May 31, Northwestern atStagg field (tentative); June 7, Westernconference at Stagg field.Y NOTES 209University NotesUnder Harper Memorial Library BridgesThe Parents' Association of the HighSchool of Oak Park, Illinois, has createda scholarship at the University of Chicagoto be used by that student in the StudentArmy Training Corps who has made themost satisfactory record.Professor George H. Mead, of the Department of Philosophy at the Universityof Chicago, who is president of the ChicagoCity Club, was made chairman of a committee of fifty representing ten differentorganizations for social work, to co-operatewith city and federal officers in the suppression of vice in Chicago and its environs.The University preachers for the SpringQuarter, 1919, are as follows: April 6,Professor Albert Parker Fitch, AmherstCollege, Amherst, Mass.; April 13, to beannounced; April 20, Rev.

The Summer QuarterThe Summer Quarter of 1919 begins June16, and closes August 29. The second termbegins July 24. This quarter, which originated with the University, has been anespecially successful feature of its administration. During the Summer Quarter of1918, although the attendance was naturallyaffected by the war, there were 3,827 students in residence for one or both terms.During the summer of 1917, 4,634 studentsattended the sessions of the University.The students during the Summer Quarter,1916, numbered 5,419, of whom 5,310 camefrom the United States, and 109 from sixteen different foreign countries.To students and teachers who appreciate the importance of keeping abreastof the new and changing times and preparing for leadership, the Summer Quarteraffords a great opportunity. At many institutions summer work occupies only a fewweeks and regular credit is not given. TheSummer Quarter at the University is asdefinitely recognized as is any other seasonof study.Two prizes were awarded to members otthe Faculty of the School of Educationat the recent exhibition in the Art Institute of paintings and sculpture by Chicagoartists. Walter Sargent, Professor of ArtEducation, received the prize of the Engle-wood Woman's Club of Chicago, and Antoinette Hollister, Instructor in Clay-Modeling, received the Mrs. John C. Shaffer hundred-dollar prize in sculpture forher figure, "The Knitter."Professor Sargent, who was formerly director of drawing and manual training inthe Boston schools, is the author of a bookon Fine and Industrial Arts in ElementarySchools and has been an exhibitor in Boston, New York, and Chicago. Miss Hollister, who was formerly a student in theArt Institute, was a pupil of Rodin in Paris,where she exhibited in the salon of 1907.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEThe March ConvocationOne hundred and eighteen degrees, titles,and certificates were conferred at the OneHundred and Tenth Convocation on March18.Three students in the College of Education received the two-year certificate andfive students in the Junior Colleges, thetitle of Associate.

The subject of the first lecture will be "From theOld Stone Age to the Dawn of Civilization,"and of the second, "The earliest Civilizationand Its Transmission to Europe."Professor Breasted also gives the presidential address before the American Oriental Society, which meets in Philadelphiafrom April 23 to 26. The subject of theaddress is "The Emancipation of the NearEast and the Resulting Responsibilities andObligations of American Orientalists."Professor Breasted's latest publication isAncient Times: A History of the EarlvWorld.Associate Professor S. H. Clark, recentlygave an address in San Diego, California.before an audience of ten thousand on thesignificance of the life and service ofTheodore Roosevelt. The address was published in full in the San Diego papers.Professor Clark has also been giving manyaddresses in the West in behalf of theLeague of Nations. University of Chicago War PapersThe widely circulated series of Universityof Chicago War Papers issued by the Pressembraces eight numbers, as follows: (1)"The Threat of German World-Politics,"by Harry Pratt Judson, President of theUniversity; (2) "Americans and the World-Crisis," by Albion W. Small, Head of theDepartment of Sociology; (3) "Democracythe Basis for World-Order," by FrederickD. Bramhall, of the Department of Political Science; (4) "Sixteen Causes ofWar," by Andrew C. McLaughlin, Headof the Department of History; (5) "TheWar and Industrial Readjustments," byHarold Glenn Moulton, Associate Professor of Political Economy; (6) "Englandand America," by Conyers Read, AssociateProfessor of History; (7) "Democracy andAmerican Schools," by Charles H. Judd,Director of the Schools of Education; (8)"Democracy and Social Progress in England," by Edith Abbott, Instructor ofSociology.These Papers have been issued under theauspices of the Publicity Committee of theUniversity War Service and have been inwide demand by newspapers, schools andcolleges, libraries, clubs, the State Council of Defense, Y. M. C. A. organizations,and individuals. They were also used ineducational institutions as supplementaryreading for war-aims courses. Some ideaof the circulation and influence of thesePapers may be gained from the followingfigures:The first four Papers required a specialprinting of 25,000 each to be distributedthrough the State Council of Defense:Paper No. 5, first printed under anothertitle by the Union League Club of Chicago,had a total circulation of nearly 100,000;155 periodicals in fifteen states used theWar Papers in whole or in part, these periodicals having a total circulation of4,706,200.Dean Leon Carroll Marshall, for the pastyear head of the Industrial Relations division of the War Shipping Board, after finishing up the last details of his war workon the Pacific coast, is back again at theUniversity as head of the School of Commerce and Administration.NOTES 111The University Co-operative NurseryAlumni away from the University community as well as those close by may beinterested in the growth of our UniversityNursery. What started as a relief measureunder pressure of war conditions has developed into an enterprise of real educational significance. It also has an economicinterest. Miss MacDowell refers to it asa very hopeful "high brow" attempt to adjust family life to changed labor conditions.Day nurseries in the poorer districts areno novelty and some few educational institutions in the East are operating experimental nurseries in connection with kindergartens or psychology departments, but ourUniversity Nursery is a strictly home madeproduct operated for and by the mothersthemselves.The membership is open to the familiesof the University faculty, graduate andundergraduate students, and alumni. Thefee is 50c per week per family. The hoursare from 9:00 to 12:00 and from 1:30 to5:00 daily, except Saturday. Individualsmay use it Saturday if they wish. For anextra fee a motor bus collects and deliversthe children. On certain days a noon-daylunch is served for 10c, in addition to thechild's lunch basket brought with it fromhomse. There are cribs for naps (any donations of more cribs and bedding are mostwelcome). There is a paid attendant assisted by two or more mothers in chargedaily — each mother is expected to serve one-half day every two weeks unless unable.There will be a special arrangement madefor the mother who is not able to serve atall.Lexington gymnasium and its walled-inyard have been turned into a huge playroom and pasture for vigorous apartment-bound youngsters. Swings, tricycles, slides,sand piles, and rabbits offer interestingamusement. During the occupation of thegymnasium by the S. A. T. C. the Nurserywas without a home except occasional backyards, but now we have come back to ourformer abode and are rehabilitating theregion on a much better scale than it everwas before. The University very generously has provided suitable and spacioushousing. It is a going concern, and nowawaits a larger development by the familiesof the University community.There is an increasing demand for helpwith the baby under two years of age. Ifthe membership increases sufficiently wecan employ a trained nurse to care forthem in a room apart from the older ones.We hope to be able to co-operate in the expense of having a child specialist look afterthe little children in directing diet andindividual needs. This would be of especialbenefit to graduate students with childrenwho often come here strangers and onheavy expense. Professor MacClintock Goes to FranceProfessor William D.

Volume III,Finance.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEThe Blackfriars, 1919With the big Re-union so close at hand,it is particularly fortunate that the Blackfriars are going to put on a comic operasatirizing the early days of the university.The show will be presented May 16, 17, 23,and 24, in Mandel. "The Naughty Nineties"is the title and Samuel Kaplan, '14, andJohn Webster, '00, are the authors. Thescene is the campus, with the famous midway of the World's Columbian Expositionin the background as a counter-attractionfor corner stone-laying ceremonies downstage.In this spring's play, members of theOrder insist, there is a plot. This is revolutionary, of course, but desirable. Complications are introduced by bringingsideshow characters of the Midway verydecidedly into the lives of the universitypeople of the play. Principal among theseextraneous trouble-makers are AbdullahBulbul, the owner of a Midway attraction,and a bearded lady in his employ. Altogether the production will be a travesty oncollege life in the nineties. It should interest particularly those alumni who werein the university while it was still young.•A notable and artistic gift to the HaskeliOriental Museum at the University of Chicago is just announced by the Director,James Henry Breasted. It is a pair of goldfiligree and pearl ear-rings, found at Rah, orancient Rhages, and stated by the donor tobe of the Abbaside dynasty, of some eighthundred years ago. They were presentedb3r His Highness, Malek Mansoor MirzaShoa-es-Saltena, son of the late Shah,Muza-fer-ed-Din, who gave them to President Judson while recently in Persia asdirector of the American-Persian ReliefCommission, with the request that he transmit them to some American museum.After investigations extending over fifteen years that necessitated trips to Mexico, Cuba, Australia, and Africa, ProfessorCharles Joseph Chamberlain, of the Department of Botany, has completed thelatest addition to the University of Chicago Science Series which is to be published early in March under the title of"The Living Cycads." These cycads arefernlike or palmlike plants, the survivingremnants of a line reaching back into thePaleozoic age of geological history. Professor Chamberlain studied all the generaand many of the species in the field, andpreserved much material for later study inthe laboratory. Settlement NewsOne of the most striking developments ofthe past few months among the Settlementactivities has been the rapid growth in theranks of the Boy Scouts and the GirlScouts.Through five years of ups and downs,resulting from repeated changes in leadership, together with seasons of entire lackof leadership, Troop 414 of the Boy Scouts'has persisted in keeping alive. Last November the acquisition of Mr. R. J. Bis-choff, a returned soldier whose interestin the scout work led him to volunteer hisenergies and time for the task of rebuilding the troop, brought new life and hopeinto the ranks. Since that time the Settlement has developed into a scout centeralive with interest and enthusiasm. Sixtroops have now been organized, with anactive membership of about two hundredand fifty boys. Two large basement roomsconstitute their "Scout House," one of thesehaving been fitted up attractively as a gameroom, where the boys congregate freelyafter school and in the evenings to readand to play table games. Frequent weekend hikes, swimming meets, parties amongthemselves, also parties given for out-of-town troops and for the Girl Scout troop,exhibitions of scout-craft, combined withsocial evenings to which their parents areinvited, all combine to make scouting occupy the central point of interest.Under the leadership of Miss Kate Constable, one of the Settlement residents, andMiss Esther Thayer, a U. of C. studentvolunteer, a similar interest in scouting isbeing developed among the girls of thecommunity. The group of ten girls wholast year were turned from Camp FireGirls into Girl Scouts, has grown since November into a group of more than fifty.If enough volunteers can be secured tohelp direct the eager enthusiasm of thesetwo groups of girls and boys, a splendidtype of citizenship can be built up fromthis very sound foundation laid by theideals of good scouting.Lieutenant Franck Louis Schoell, of theDepartment of Romance Languages andLiteratures, who was wounded, imprisoned,and interned in the European war, recentlyreturned to the University.WENDELL WILLISTONProfessor Samuel Wendell Williston, (1852-1918), whose recent death removed fromthe Departments of Science of the University a scholar of internationl reputation.

Among the many honors conferred upon him by scientific societies and institutionswere membership in the National Academy of Sciences, the presidency of Sigma Xi honorary society, and the presidency of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology.213THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEThe Roll of HonorWalter Smith PoagueWalter Smith Poague, '14, 1st Lieutenant, U. S.Marines Flying Corps, who was killed abroad in anaviation accident November 5, 1918. He was sentover with the first Marine Flying contingent.Poague was very popular in college, and was authorof the 1914 Blackfriars Play, "A Night of Knights."In 1917 the Shuberts presented one of his plays.He contributed various poems and short stories tomagazines and newspapers. His poem, "My NativeLand," printed here, was one of his last.MY NATIVE LANDl'envoiMy native Land! Your shores sink lowInto the hazy sea,Which widens to the shiver,To the steady, pulsing quiverOf the ship which takes that dear loved landFrom me.My native land! What does that mean,That phrase, to me ?Not power most of all,Nor even liberty,Nor wealth, nor fameOf honor brightly kept;Not the high title of democracy.Of refuge, haven,The land of even chance. All these may mean America, my native land,To others.But just to me it meansThe little house beneath the elmsWhere I was bornAnd played on brittle Autumn days .At soldier with my dog.I was the conqueror,He the slave.My native land! You meanThe heavy thump of football upon leather;Of stolen cigarettesBehind the dorm;Those friendships made forever ;And later on my collegeWith its spectacled professors,The fraternity and clubWhere I danced onWith that high company of youth.My native land! You mean the moundBeside that pebbly brookWhere lies my pal.My pal,Honor and beauty went with him.I loved him and he liesBeside the brook in your dear soil.You mean the rush, the breathlessWonder of the great game, business,As only you can play it.Fair and fastAnd to the hilt.You mean square dealing,Quick decisions,And the devil take the loser.You are my native land,The country of my women,My clear-eyed mother'sAnd her women's landFor generations.Land of the girls I've loved,Beautiful, extravagant,Self-confident and clean and tender,A land of regal women.Proud and free.Perhaps here most of allYou are my land.For here most freelyWould I give my bloodTo keep from off your soilThe conqueror's boot.My native iand!You don't mean great high phrases,But just those simple things which goTo make my home.And how I love you!More greatlyThan I ever dared to hope,I love you, dear AmericaOf mine.And if great sacrificesMay be asked of me,I'll give them happilyTo you.My own dear native land.My native land! We knowThe gladness of my goingFrom your peaceful, kindly bordersTo these scenes of sad disordersWhere salvation is the harvestOf the struggle's bitter sowing.—On Going "Overseas," Philadelphia, Dec. 21, 1917.LIEUT.

The writer, who hasfor many years been identified with theAmerican Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, has provided a work whichwill be welcomed by every student of thehistory of Christianity.. The book gives asurvey of the history of missions since thebeginning of the modern era, about 1757,and depicts the missionary movementagainst the background of general history.lt sets forth the relation of missionaryendeavor to contemporary conditions, political and commercial, social and intellectual. The author shows the part whichmissions have played in making the modern world what it is, and the part whichthe modern world with all its manifold elements and complex tendencies has had inmaking modern missions what they are.The book may be used as a text in thesenior college, the seminary or the adultdepartment of the Sunday school.Another book from the University Press, published April 15, is How the Bible Grew,by Frank G. Lewis, Instructor in Hebrew,Lrozer Theological Seminary.This is the first single work to recordthe growth of the Bible from its beginningup to the present time. There are introductions to the Old Testament, introductionsto the New Testament, and histories of theversions; but this is the only volume whichbrings into readable form the essentials ofthe entire literary development throughwhich the Bible has passed.The work is unusual also in the extent towhich it takes the reader directly back tothe bible itself as the source of its literaryhistory. Recognizing that the New Testament is the place in which to discover thefirst form of the Old Testament, the bookbegins at that point. It then follows backthe traces of literary history in the Apocrypha and in the Old Testament. After pursuing this method till the earliest Israelitishwritings are found, the author combines theresults obtained and puts into a constructive statement the facts of Old Testamentliterary growth. On this as a basis thedevelopment of the New Testament isbriefly sketched in a similar fashion.

They are unmarried, independent, and their incomes are amplefor their individual needs.Then they marry, and in their earlythirties the conviction comes to them thatthey are not making as rapid progress asthey ought.The expenditure crowds ever closer tothe income ; they see men passing them,sometimes unaccountably ; the job thathad seemed hardly more than a game before, becomes suddenly a serious problem— often never fully solved.The solution of 75,000successful menIt is at that period, and at that age, that college menturn in large numbers to the Alexander HamiltonInstitute.The average age ofthe 75,000 men enrolled inthe Institute's Modern Business Course and Servicein the past ten years is over thirty; eighty-five percent of them are married.In other words they are no longer boys, but men,realizing keenly that the highest positions in businessare open only to men who have an all-round knowledge of the fundamentals that underly all business;and that such knowledge is gained only by training.That the Alexander Hamilton Institute can anddoes give this training is proved by the record ofthe75,000 successful men who have enrolled themselvesin it.Advisory CouncilRead over these names of the men who make up'he Advisory Council of the Institute : Frank A. Vanderlip, President of the NationalCity Bank of New York ; John Hays Hammond,the eminent engineer; Jeremiah W. Jenks, the statistician and economist, General Coleman duPont,the well-known business executive and Joseph FrenchJohnson, Dean of the New York University Schoolof Commerce.1 3,000 ofthe 7 5, 000 men who have enrolled withthe Institute are corporation presidents — a testimonyto the scope and authority of the Institute's Courseand Service.Investigation is easyThis advertisement is addressed to two classes ofmen. To young men first — in their twenties andthirties and early forties — who are asking themselves' 'Where am I going to be in business ten years fromnow?"There is an answer to that question in "ForgingAheadin Business" the Institute's 1 1 z-page book, ltis free; entirely without obligation; and well worth anevening of any man's time. Send for it.The second man to whom this is addressed is theolder alumnus to whom young men are constantlycoming for advice about their future. If you are sucha man, you should know enough about the Instituteto be able to speak helpfully concerning it; youshould know what it has done for 75,000 other men.Your name on the coupon will bring you "ForgingAhead in Business.
