Whatever adds to the savingsfund of the country will in the long run helpall endowed institutions and college menwill find in loyalty to alma mater anothermotive for helping with the Thrift Campaign.The Savings Division will greatly appreciate your assistance in this effort madehy the national government to make permanent the habits of saving learned during the war and to make the average American a man who saves and invests a partof his income.Sincerely yours,War Loan Organization.ON THE WAY "OVERSEAS"Over 300,000 pounds of used clothing, in2,100 bales, were started to Europe April7th, as the first shipment of over ten thousand tons of clothing collected by the RedCross on its recent country-wide drive. Twothousand additional bales lie at the docksawaiting transportation.Two shipments will be sent out eachweek until the total of well over 10,000 tonshas been shipped. Clothing is sorted,packed and haled for shipment in 150 pound bales. Fifty workers at the Brooklyn warehouse, where these garments are handled,keep them pouring through a funnel intothe assorting chamber, where they are divided, made into bundles and enclosed inburlap. The electric press turns out a baleevery five minutes.The enormous success of this garmentdrive is largely due to the active and generous cooperation of editors, who not onlygave space for its publicity, but used theirpersonal efforts to make the notice conspicuous and attractive.The American Red Cross wishes to express to them and to the public who responded so promptly, their cordial and appreciative thanks.THE WORK OF THE RED CROSSGOES ONThe great humanitarian trend that hasdeveloped as an aftermath of the horrorsof the war has awakened the people of allcountries to the immediate need for developing these humanitarian efforts alongthe broadest lines.The amazing percentage, of men rejectedfor military service because of physical conditions that might easily have been prevented; the pitiful wastage of manhood andwomanhood through under-nourished andunder-developed childhood; the terriblemortality consequent on epidemics which,if not actually preventable would at leasthave been more controllable if humanityat large had a better understanding of hygiene and sanitation, all these things havebeen brought so forcibly before the mindsof thinking people that remedial efforts arenot only necessary but imperative.To turn to the Red Cross as a mediumthrough whom this widespread educationalcampaign may be carried on all over theglobe is a natural result. Closely in touchwith every phase of relief, whether it bewar, disaster, epidemic or the personalcontact with individuals maintained throughthe special branches of its work, the RedCross is peculiarly well fitted to aid in thisinternational service.Taken on President Judson's Recent Visit to PersiaUpper left: President Judson, center; Dr. Wilber E.

All preparations are made for your welcome and entertainment. The Sing on June 6 is to beso managed as to retain all the old value forre-union and delight, and to avoid the tendency to monotony and one-sidedness. Theclass meetings, the dinner, the Blackfriars'performance, are on a scale that suits theyear. At the conference meet June 7, therewill be more wearers of the C, probably,than ever gathered together before in oneplace. Everything is ready for a coming-together that will give us a realization ofwhat the war-years have meant to the university, and what the university is growingmore and more rapidly to be. This writerhas by chance this spring seen more otherwestern colleges than ever before in hislife. The other day he returned from onesuch trip; it was just after he had realizedthat twenty-five years of his life had beenspent on or near these quadrangles. Andtheir beauty struck him almost like a blow.There is nothing to compare with them anywhere about. They have a serene, massive,friendly strength that years cannot staledelight in. And as time goes on, they arecoming also to be touched with charm.Their strength is growing full of sweetness;they answer Samson's old riddle in a new fashion. Come back and see! Come backand see!James R. Angell will not take the presidency of the University of Michigan, buthe will go for a yearDean Angell to Washington asStays — and Goes President of the National Council of Research. The announcement of his decisionwas made in the first week of May. Conditions which he made for acceptance of theMichigan position the regents apparentlywere unable to accept, (though so far noofficial statement has been made), and to theimmense satisfaction of the university hedecided to remain here. He will accept,however, a year's leave of absence to undertake the work in Washington, which includes the oversight of all scientific experimentation on the direct behalf of thegovernment. The Washington offer is theoutgrowth not only of his reputation as anexperimental psychologist, but of his manifold services for the government in the lasttwo years.Among those now present on the quadrangles is ■ Henry Gale, '96, professor ofphysics, dean in theLieutenant-Colonel colleges, and Lieuten-Henry G. Gale ant-Colonel (retired) inthe United StatesArmy. Dr. Gale was made a captain of in-237THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEfantry at the second camp at Fort Sheridan,sent to France in February, 1918, as instructor in meteorological study, latertransferred to the service of supply, madesuccessively major and lieutenant-colonel,returned to America in April and immediately discharged. He saw no active service, but as he philosophically remarks, "IfI hadn't got over as a school-teacher, Iprobably couldn't have got over at all."Quite a number of people seemed to bepleased to see Dean Gale again.He is, by the way, once more chairmanof the committee on Military Affairs; andunder his jurisdictionMilitary indirectly militaryTraining studies and trainingwill be taken up afreshat the university next fall. Announcementis made of the organization of an artilleryunit, under Colonel Marr of the regulararmy, and four assistants, all commissionedofficers. Guns and training grounds will beprovided, and the drill will be elaborate andthorough. Colonel Marr is already on theground, and arrangements are being made for publicity for the new plan. Enlistmentin the unit will be voluntary.

CHICAGO MAGAZINEA Letter From President JudsonTo the Alumni of the University of Chicago:The reunion of alumni in connection withthe June Convocation next should havepeculiar interest for all. At that time wedesire to have with us every member ofthe University who, during the last twoyears, has rendered a service for the Government of the United States in connectionwith the great world war. The universitiesand colleges of the country did their partwith conspicuous zeal and efficiency. Inthis common effort of patriotic energy theUniversity of Chicago did its share, andwe have every reason to be proud of whatwas done, of the way in which it was done,and of those who gave themselves to thecause. The great victory for the libertyof mankind which was won by the Allies,in part owing, perhaps largely owing, tothe contribution of the United States, wasone that deserves ample commemoration.Meanwhile, we all need to bear in mindthat the victorious termination of the warleft unsettled many problems of vast importance for the solution of which we shouldall be prepared in the years to come. Thereunion of the alumni, therefore, in June,should be not only a rejoicing, not only acommemoration, but also a renewed dedication. I hope that everyone who findsit in any way possible will be in Chicagoduring those days. Harry Pratt Judson.To All Fellow-Alumni:Every "Chicago" alumnus and alumnae isundoubtedly fully aware of the unusual significance of our coming June Reunion, andevery one should make an effort to attendand take part in the general program. Youwill receive the regular notices in due time,but if, by chance, in the large task involved,a letter here and there may fail of its destination, we ask you all to consider thisissue of the magazine as a notice.For over two months the Reunion Committee, together with the Council, has beenplanning and arranging for our most successful gathering. Yet, in the end, we mustrely on your attendance to make this gathering and our program a success. The ClassSecretaries have been working as seldombefore. We ask that you respond-at oncein reservations; that you "talk Reunion"with every "Chicagoan" you meet; that yousupport your Class Secretaries; and thatyou attend and assist in offering returningsoldiers and alumnae a welcome homewhich they will never forget and of whichwe may all be proud.Walter L.

Every member was not only widelyknown in college, but has broadened his or heracquaintance among "Chicagoans" since leaving the Quadrangles. Fully realizing the significance of the Reunion, each member gladlyconsented to accept the task involved in making this annual gathering a unique success.Walter Hudson, as general chairman, hasheld a number of very important preliminarymeetings, and is looking after many details.Clarence Herschberger is arranging relationswith the athletic department. Daniel Trudeis assisting in the work of having the earlier classes bring out their largest representation.Leo Wormser is taking care of the programand similar matters. Walter Steffen is interesting the alumni in and about Chicago inspecial features that will be presented. Mrs.Helen Sunny McKibben has charge of theclass organization ; under her direction thesehave been brought to work more closelytoward a successful general gathering, as wellas to carry on class reunions that will be distinctive and unusual in attendance. MissMarion Palmer is working to bring out thelater classes. Howell Murray has been liningup the fraternities and societies, working inco-operation with the Blackfriars, and assisting in publicity matters. William Lyman isassistant chairman, is handling publicity matters, and has charge of decorations and othercampus features. All, however, have been co-THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEoperating with each other in the generalpreparations.But a committee alone, however hard itworks, can not make a Reunion successfulunless it has the full support of all alumniand alumnae. This committee certainly deserves fullest support; and every indicationnow is that such support will be given.Great interest has been widely manifestedduring the last half-year; so much that wefeel confident that this gathering of alumniwill be the largest and most enthusiasticin the history of the University.A University War Memorial ServiceIn memory of the members of the University of Chicago fallen in the Great Wara service will be held at four o'clock, Sunday, May 18, 1919, ia Frank DickinsonBartlett Gymnasium. Verdi's Requiem willbe sung by the Apollo Musical Club underthe direction of Harrison M.

Varkala, '09The impression of many in this countryseems to be that the majority of the population of Russia are true Bolsheviki andtherefore support the Bolshevik government.When on Sunday morning, the 4th of August, 1918, I awoke to find that practicallyall French, English, and Italian subjectsthat could be found were arrested, a partywas quickly made up, including myself, oneAmerican, his wife and daughter of ten,and we headed towards Samara, which atthat time was in the hands of the Czechoslovaks or the present Siberian government.In travel ingthrough the ru- ral Bolshevikdistricts ofRussia, namely,east from Niz-ny - Novgorod,we had a greatdeal of troublein securing theconfidence o fthe peasants.For - fear wewere Bolsheviki, we were atmany places refused milk andother eatables.On approaching the villageof Ziminki, weasked a localpeasant, whowas driving hishorse slowly bythe side of ours,due to the badand muddy condition of the road, if he coulddirect us to a peasant with whom we could stopfor the night. He sounded us for nearly anhour, and then said : "I know now who youare," and thereupon guided us to a peasant'shouse and said to the lady of the house, "Theyare like us, I assure you; don't be afraid." ,In the village of Nikolaevka where weasked a farmer to let us drive our horseand wagon into his barn to seek shelterfrom a rainstorm, the children, seeing us,ran with a scream to their mother. Shewas able to quiet them by saying, "Theyare not the ones you think." Many peoplerefused information with the idea of gettingrid of us for fear that we were in some wayconnected with the Bolsheviki. Some villages in the south near Moscow even wentso far as to expel from the villages membersof their own community who volunteeredThreshing Hay in a Russian VillagePhotograph taken by Mr. Varkala in September, 1918. The writernas returned to America and is now with the InternationalHarvester Company in Chicago.in the Red army and deprived them of theland that had been apportioned to themduring the last decade from the commonownership in the village; but for that theypaid heavily afterwards.Because peasant Soviets in many villagesbecame untrustworthy, the central government started organizing a so-called "Committee of Poorest," which body at my timeof departure was assuming the control ofcrops in their respective villages.The workmen on whose shoulders restedthe system of Soviets represent only 1.9 percent of the pop- ulation of Bolshevik Russia,and even themajority ofthese sit athome and donot mix up inpolitics. I amsafe in sayingthat in themonths of Julyand August,1918, only 20per cent of factory workmenattended themeetings andparticipated inelections of ther e presentativesof various professional, political and educational managingbodies of Soviet government As the novelty wore off, the workmenparticipants of these meetings decreased moreand more. I know instances where some factory workmen last July expressed even directopposition to the Bolshevik rule.As to the intelligent classes that areopposed to Bolshevism, it is a fact that inthe spring of 1918 all the schools of Moscow were closed for two weeks, the teachers thus expressing their protest against theBolsheviki assuming control over theschools. The same condition prevailedamong salaried employes in the city halland county offices of Moscow. Salariedemployes of various factories who had beenunited all through Russia under one organization known as "Union of Salaried Employes of Works and Mills," were holdingout by themselves, ignoring the existenceof Bolshevik authorities until the BolshevikTHE UNIVERSITY OFcentral government in Moscow in August,1918, issued a decree annulling the existenceof that organization and merging its members, as well as the remaining funds, intoone workmen's organization of the respective factories and mills,I was in the Great Imperial theater inMoscow (now called "State Theater")when Bolshevik government representativeswalked into the Czar's box, after the lightswere turned off and the second act of theopera started. The audience from all corners shouted, "Von, von" ("get out, get out")and the shout laste'd until the box wasvacated.All that the Bolshevik government wasdepending upon at the time of my departurein October, 1918, was the army, made up ofmen from the parts formerly Russian, butat that time occupied by Germany, becausethose men had no work or place to go,while, on the other hand, as Red army menthey were quartered, fed and clothed, andin addition, received cash remuneration.Many men who were residents of BolshevikRussia were volunteers in the Red armybecause this was the only employment openthat offered board and lodging, which atthat time was so difficult to get. In April,1918, I asked a brother of my maid, a younglad of 18, why he volunteered in the Redarmy. He answered: "The factory whereI was working could not get money to payme for two months, so what was I to liveon, while the Red army would board andclothe me and pay me a good salarybesides."For the reasons above stated many menvoluteered in the Red army (and of latehave been drafted into the Army), havingno other alternative, in order to secure a living, and did what they were told to do, atthe same time rendering service to theirfamilies, for one who has a son in the armyhas good standing with the Bolshevik authorities at home. Yet it is a fact thatnorthern and central Russia, with its greatcities, is starving, as I saw this last summer and experienced the effects,When we sat down for lunch at NiznyXovgorod station in Moscow, we did notdare to open our bread box, as in a minute'stime we would have had a line of at leastfifty men to share that bit with us. Fur- CHICAGO MAGAZINEthermore, our conscience would not allowus to eat there knowing that some peoplearound us had not seen good bread, noranything as nourishing as bread, for monthsin succession. In Petrograd last October,plate and finished what had been left on it.while eating my 20-ruble dinner at Nikolajevstation, made up of boiled horse meat withcauliflower, less the fats, and souse, and ofcourse without bread or anything else withit, I had six applicants waiting for me tofinish it, and before I laid down my knifeand fork, a husky, middle-aged man grabbedthe bone, while a lady, who was standingfirst in the row, was able to get hold of theplate and finished what had been left on it.When such conditions are known to exist,it will be clear to anyone why there arevolunteers in the Red army and why theystay with the army and are loyal to it solong as they are not able to secure thenecessities of life elsewhere. There is apsychological reason also why the civilianpopulation does not revolt. If the civilianpopulation has not died from starvation bythis time, it means that they have had somekind of food or other hidden somewhere orhave means of getting it on the quiet, because at the time I left in October, 1918,the quantities of food that were issued incities on provision cards were not sufficientto maintain one's exsitence. To avoid attracting the attention of Bolshevists, whichmight result in a search of their houses, andfor fear that their supplies, hidden in oraround the house, would be found and takenaway from them and at the same time theybe deprived of the right to use their provision cards for a month or two, the civilianpopulation does what it is told to do, withthe hope that liberators from the north, orCzecho-Slovaks from the east, or Cossacksfrom the south, would come and free themfrom the Bolsheviki. This was the cryamong the anti-Bolshevik population ofRussia at the time of my departure in October.The view of peaceful citizens of BolshevikRussia could be best summarized in a sentence which I heard expressed by a leadingmember of Artists Soviets of the Imperial(now Slate) Opera in Moscow in his talkwith a representative of the American Embassy: "We don't care who rule us, justgive us two pounds of bread and peace toour families at home — we are too tired andworn out."UP inE QUADRANGLES 247News of the QuadranglesIn "Naughty Nineties," 1919 BlackfriarsJames Reber, '20, as Sarah, the bearded lady;Richard Blood, '23, as G. Howe Phaste.I suppose the biggest event outside ofalumni celebration week is the Blackfriarproduction, "The Naughty Nineties," whichwill be on view — for two dollars down — atMandel hall on the nights of May 16, 17.23 and 24. Parts have been assigned forquite some time; the chorus was gettingalong extremely well at the last rehearsal;and it looks as if the Friars were going toput on another one of those sure-fire hits.After all, the Blackfriars is the best organization on the campus — it is the only onethat has a real safe. Mr. Hamilton Coleman, who has been coach for the last fouryears, arrived from Florida early lastmonth. At tryouts he finally settled on thiscast: Elaine Lane, Carlin Crandal, '21;Abdullah Bulbus, Glenn Millard, '20; Sarah,James Reber, '20; Dean Green, Robert Lan-yan, '22; G. Howe Phast, William Dupree,'20; Grimes, Edward Waful, '22; Jones,Charles Brestead, '19; Hafiz Ben Hadj, Bernard McDonald, '20; Robert, Louis Tilden,'21; Victoria Lane, Robert Korn, '22.

Abbot Frank Breckinridge, 19, is most enthusiastic, as is hisstaff, and the sale of seats so far showsthat the campus is expecting a very goodperformance.The Dramatic Club initiated Helen Saunders, '22; Gerald Westby, '20; Glenn Harding, '21; Louis Dooley, '21; Bernard McDonald, '20; Warren Mulroy, '20; and PaulHumphries, '21, for their work in the winterquarter play, and took in the following associate members early in April: Rachel Dennis, '22; Florence Falkenau, '20; Faye Millard, '22; John Ashenhurst, '21; Viola Roth,'22; Robert Collins, '22; Irene Jungk, '21;June King, '22; Ehrma Lundberg, '22; andDanial MacCallum, '22. A dance for members was held April 11 in the ReynoldsClub. Competition for original one-actplays for the spring quarter invitational performance is now open. The performancewill be held early next month.Liberty Victory loan workers are, at thiswriting, working hard to beguile bond purchasers. Monday, May 5, showed a total of$76,700 to the university credit. However,much more will be raised, no doubt, beforethe close of the campaign, as over $100,000was obtained from the university community in the last drive. John Prosser, '21, isthe undergraduate director, and fraternities,halls, the Y. M. C. A. and other organizations have sent out teams. Base Hospital13, which included sixty-six "Chicago" menwhen it sailed, Came back to town April 19.Many of the university men were left behind in French universities, taking the three-month courses offered by the government,but those who did return were tendered aroyal welcome.Of new dramatic effort were the one-actplays presented by the Cosmopolitan andInternational clubs on the night of April 25."The Rising of the Moon," "A MarriageProposal" and "The Boxers," the last anoriginal play by one of the university's Chinese students, Chih-Wei Luh, made up thebill. The experiment was interesting anddecidedly profitable, according to the reviewin The Daily Maroon. That paper, by theway, feeling the need for some literary effort among the undergraduates, will issueon May 9 (doubtless before this issue isupon the stands) a literary supplement.There are now no literary magazines orpublications of any sort on the campus.The Maroon has plenty of copy for thefirst supplement, and is asking for more foranother supplement, to be put out about thelast of May.Come back to the Reunion!John E. Joseph, '20.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEAthleticsBaseballOn May 10 Chicago had lost to Iowa,Michigan and Illinois, and won from Wisconsin and Purdue. It is already evidentthat Michigan, Iowa, and Illinois are thestrong teams of the Conference, with probably Ohio State to be added; Wisconsin,Indiana and Purdue are certainly weak; andChicago is a sort of unknown quantity.On paper Chicago is very powerful.Serck, Smith and O'Brien, all of whomplayed pretty regularly last year, are available, but have been crowded off by newmen. Hinkle and Terhune are still pitching, and Crisler is better than either ofthem. "Bobie" Cahn is at second, with threegood service stripes on his sleeve; Curtisis on first again, and slugging fiercely; Vollmer is once more catching. There seems noreason why Chicago should not have atriumphant season.But the play has been very ragged. Thefirst home game, on May 10, was a victoryover Purdue, 7-6. That was the fifth conference game of the season, and there hadbeen many other games, including one onApril 28, with the Chicago "Cubs" of theNational League, (which the Cubs won 8-1,Page pitching). Yet against Purdue theteam was a joke. They could neither bat,field, nor think. Why, nobody knows. Mostof the remaining games are at home, and abetter showing is looked for,TrackAs a relay-racing aggregation, the trackteam compares favorably with any in thecountry. Chicago won the two-mile andfour-mile open events at the Coliseum meetApril 10-12, and was second in the one-mile;won the four-mile at the Drake races atDes Moines, April 19, and was second inthe two-mile; and won both the distance-medley and the two-mile at the Penn Relays on May 2-3, in this latter event easilydefeating Notre Dame, which had won atDrake. So far the men have collectedtwenty gold watches this spring in relayraces, Capt. McCosh having five! Aside from relays, the team beat Wisconsin May 10, 77-58. Gorgas won the shot andthe discus, Graham the pole-vault and thebroad-jump, Reber the hammer-throw, Harris the 220, Speer the half, Moore the mile,and McCosh the two-mile. The day wassunny, but cold and windy. The performances were rather poor; Speer did the halfin 2:01^ and Moore the mile in 4:33, butboth won so easily it was no test. Lewis,the only Chicago man asked to run twice inthe distance races, took second in the halfin 2:03 and second in the mile in 4:37, whichshows him a useful member of dual meetsociety. The team is too spotty to beatIllinois or Michigan, but it still seems tohave a good chance to take the Conference.McCosh can win the mile and two-mile, andMoore can place in one; Speer can win thehalf-mile and place in the quarter, andLewis can perhaps place in the half; Curtiscan place in the quarter; Gorgas can winthe discus and place in the shot, Grahamcan place in the vault and the broad jump,and a team can be formed that will winthe relay. Points should be somewhere between thirty and thirty-five, which with theoutside competition may land the meet.NOTES 249University NotesEntrance to Main Reading Room in HarperMemorial LibraryJohn Galsworthy, the English novelist and playwright, gave a lecture on theWilliam Vaughn Moody Foundation at theUniversity of Chicago on April 9.

The newFederation has as its fundamental idea theputting into efficient form of the spirit offriendliness and co-operation which wasawakened by the common necessity foraction during the war. The desire of thewomen in the federation is to co-operatein every way with the purposes of the University, which has shown its confidence in themovement by undertaking to finance it for thefirst year of its existence.Announcement is just made at the University of Chicago of a gift of six hundreddollars for a fellowship in the Departmentof Home Economics for the year 1919-20.At least part of the time of the womanawarded this fellowship is to be spent inresearch in food chemistry, nutrition, orrelated fields. Candidates must have already done some graduate work in an institution of high standing. University Building PlansPlans for development, which were delayed by the war, were announced at therecent Convocation of the University ofChicago. The medical fund was completedbefore the declaration of war, and the architect is busy preparing the plans for theBillings Hospital, to cost $1,000,000, andthe Epstein Dispensary, to cost $100,000,which will be located on the south side ofthe Midway.The plans for the Theological buildingand for the Henry Bond Chapel have beencompleted, and, as soon as business conditions warrant, work will proceed on thesevery atractive and important additions tothe resources of the Divinity School.The architect for the University Chapel,Mr. Bertram Gosvenor Goodhue, of NewYork, is making preliminary studies forwhat is expected to be a beautiful and impressive building to be erected east of thepresident's house, which will symbolize forcenturies to come the finer spiritual life ofthe University. The building is providedfor by a special gift from tne founder of$1,500,000, which was included in his finalgift of $10,000,000. In his letter conveying the gift the founder said: "As the spiritof religion should penetrate and control theUniversity, so that building which represents religion ought to be the central anddominant feature of the University group."French Plays a SuccessTh^ success last year of the performancein French of five scenes from one of Mo-liere's plays encouraged the Cercle Fran-gais at the University to give another"Soiree Moliere" this year. It took place inMandel on May 2 and included three scenesof Les Femmes savantes, and also MaitrlPathelin, a farce of the fifteenth centuryconsidered the masterpiece of the Frenchstage in the Middle Ages. The presentationof the farce may be regarded as a regularpremiere, as the archaic language of theoriginal has been modernized by AssociateProfessor Henri David, of the Departmentof Romance Languages. The players, students in the Romance Department, wereaided by Miles. Ruet and Grandjean andProfessor David. The proceeds, as last year,went to the Fatherless Children of France.NOTES 251On the Summer SchoolMore than five hundred courses will beoffered at the University of Chicago duringthe Summer Quarter, which begins June16 and ends August 29. The first termbegins June 16, and the second term July24. Students may enter for either term orfor both. The courses are the same incharacter, method, and credit value as inother parts of the year.More than two hundred and fifty will bein the Summer Faculty, including manyfrom the faculties of other institutions.These institutions include Oxford University, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, the University of Pennsylvania, Clark University,Smith College, Mount Holyoke, the universities of Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois,Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Texas, andIdaho, and the Throop College of Technology, California.Over one hundred courses for teachersare offered for this quarter, and duringSuperintendents' Week (July 14-18) therewill be special lectures by Professor Howe,of the University of Iowa; SuperintendentWithers, of St. Louis; Superintendent Chadsey, of Chicago; and Superintendent Hart-well, of St. Paul.A significant educational gift to the University of Chicago just announced is thatof funds for a scholarship in the Department of Chemistry. "The Joseph TrinerScholarship in Chemistry" is to be assignedto a Czecho-Slovak graduate of the Harrison Technical High School, Chicago, whohas pursued at least one year of chemistryin that school, who is recommended by itsprincipal and approved by the chairman ofthe Department of Chemistry. The scholarship carries a stipend which will providetuition and laboratory fees for one year.In speaking of the gift, President Judsonsaid: "The University has had not a fewstudents from our fellow-citizens of Czechoslovak ancestry, and we are glad o welcomemore of them. Their loyal American citizenship is well known. Their interest in thehigher learning is well known. This generous gift is perhaps indicative of therelationship which the University has longhad to our fellow-citizens of this ancestry,and we are rejoiced to extend special honorsto those of their number who wan distinction." Fiske Prize in PoetryAnnouncement was made by PresidentJudson, at the recent Convocation, of agift of a thousand dollars, the income ofwhich is to be used as an annual prize tobe known as the "John Billings Fiske Prizein Poetry." This gift comes from Mr. Horace Spencer Fiske, of the University ofChicago Press, in memory of his father,who was a lover of poetry and an honorgraduate of Union College. In announcing the prize President Judson quoted fromthe letter of gift: "The wide and growinginterest now being taken in poetry in thiscountry has suggested that universitiesmight be a great influence in the production of that form of literature and so contribute something of pleasure and stimulusand beauty to our national life."Professor Paul Shorey, Head of the Department of the Greek Language and Literature, who is giving courses in Greek literature at the University of California, hasaccepted an invitation to deliver the PhiBeta Kappa address at the latter institution on June 3. Professor Shorey will alsogive the commencement address at LelandStanford Junior University on June 16. Hewill return for the Summer Quarter at theUniversity of Chicago, when he will conductcourses in Plato's Republic and Homer, andalso a seminar. Professor Shorey, who wasrecently elected to membership in theAmerican Academy of Arts and Letters, isalso a member of the National Institute ofArts and Letters, and has received the honorary degree of Doctor of Literature fromthe University of Wisconsin and BrownUniversity. 'Among the courses of timely interestannounced by the University for the Summer Quarter are two to be given by An-tranig Arakel Bedikian, head of the Armenian Evangelical Church of New YorkCity. One of the courses is on the elementsof Armenian, ancient and modern, whichwill give a short introduction to the classicsof Armenian literature; and the other, onthe history and significance of the political,intellectual, and religious relations betweenArmenia and the Byzantine Empire. Thesecourses have been made possible by a giftto the University from Mr. Charles R.Crane.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEBirthplace of Dr. William Rainey Harper— "An executive to whose sagacious energythe University of Chicago is a splendidmonument, an administrator from whoseinstinctive observation and unfailing memory no detail escaped perception and recording, we believe that his greatest andmost permanent influence is due to anidealism that enabled him to createa new type of university.'' A few daysafter the death of Dr. William RaineyHarper, first President of our University ofChicago, on January 10, 1906, this appreciation, by Lyman Abbott, appeared in theOutlook. The great man who "createdthis new type of LIniversity" was born onJuly 26, 1856, in the log house pictured on this page. It is located on Main street,in New Concord, Ohio. Its solid, sturdyappearance reflects not a little the character of the strong and able man whose birthplace it was, as well as the character ofhis sturdy Scotch-Irish parents. There isabout it the pioneer atmosphere which, tosome extent, suggests the source of valiantstrength, "sagacious energy," and vigorous"idealism" so characteristic of Dr. Harper.In this little town of New Concord, Dr.Harper spent his boyhood days, and at tenyears of age he entered the Freshman classat Muskingum College there. His father,a local merchant, was treasurer of Muskin-The Log-Structure Birthplace of Former President HarperuF DR. HARPER 253gum College for thirty years; for fourteenyears his father-in-law, Dr. David Paul,was its president. It was here that WilliamRainey Harper began the career that placedhim among world leaders in educationalfields.Here, also, is a picture of the living-roomof the Harper house. The chairs, andirons, and pictures belong to the old home.The house is now being restored as nearlyas possible to the condition in which itwas wheni Dr. Harper was born, and, underthe custody and care of Muskingum College, from which he was graduated, is being made into a museum to his memory.In a letter of April 24, 1919, to the Alumnioffice, Mr. J. Knox Montgomery, Presidentof the College, states: "Several of thewarm friends of his boyhood days still livehere and cherish his memory, and at least one member of the band which Dr. Harperled while here, still lives here."It was thought particularly fitting thatthese pictures, with a few relevant facts, bepublished in this Reunion issue. Had ourformer President lived he would havetaken, as does the present Administration,an intense pride in the fine loyalty andmanly patriotism with which the entireUniversity and its thousands of alumni andalumnae responded to the recent call fromour Nation. At this time of unusual significance he, too, would have been foremost inwelcoming home the sons and daughtersof our Alma Mater, honored, as they are.by a noble share in the achievement of arighteous victory. And, like PresidentJudson, he would have pointed to the present-day duty and opportunity "to createa new type of world."Living Room in the Harper HouseTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEThe Letter Box"Chicago" at the A.

University — andalso, how about the Reunion?March 30, 1919.Beaune, Cote d'or, France.Dear Mr. Moulds:Perhaps you and other Chicago folks willbe interested in a bit of gossip from theCobb and Mandels and Hitchcocks of theA. E. F. LTniversity opened here at Beauneabout ten days ago. I know you'll be proud,as I was, to see the name of Chicago instructors and students in the list of enrollments, and particularly to know that Prof.Barnes of the University's School of Commerce is making a wonderful impressionwith the men here. I have the pleasure ofbeing in his "advertising copy" class inthe college of Journalism. There are bucks,captains and "loots'" in the class, and Mr.Barnes is charming us all, as well as instructing us, with his very interesting aswell as able lectures on ads. I have heardmen in all professions who are in the classpay him splendid compliments on his exposition of the theme, and it makes youprouder than ever of old Chicago.The University is unique in many respects. There are men from nearly everycollege in God's country here as instructors— and some wear Sam Browns, some theRed Triangle, and others are sergeants, corporals and bucks. In fact "Bucks teachingmajors" is the popular theme subject inall English and newspaper classes.The class rooms are temporary barracks,or permanent ones recently evacuated ashospital buildings. You miss the statelylines of Law and Harper and Mandel, butyou get plenty of atmosphere of mud andrain and sawdust or rough cement floors.The experiment looks like it will be a realsuccess and there are plenty of courses offered.They have planned extensive works forus, and America as usual is at the frontwith something new. It ought to be amatter of considerable pride with everyChicago man that our Alma Mater is soably represented in the faculty.How's the reunion coming? I'm afraidthe chances still are against my getting toit, but I'm planning to see that game nextfall.With best personal regards I remainYours sincerely,Sgt. Frederic C. Smith,A. E. F. LTniversity. With the 149th F. A. in the Great BattlesRinger, Germany, March 28, 1919.My Dear Mr. Linn:Your editorial note about the June reunion, in the February U. of C. magazine,which just reached me, brought a thrill tome, when I remembered that the Rainbowdivision would be back in time for me tobe there. Yes, it's true, this time, and nota disappointing rumor, as so many timesbefore. We leave here next week, and inabout a month will be back in Chicago, ornearly there, with three gold service chevrons on our sleeves. The eighteen monthsin France that they represent seem as somany years. One tries to imagine whathome will be like, and then gives it up,It is not merely the element of time thatcauses this; it's largely the busy way we'vespent it. The A. E. F., it seemed, could notundertake an offensive unless the 42nd Division was there. Of course, we are proud tobe able to say we've been in every majoroffensive of the American forces, but itkept us on the jump. We heard about therest camps and leave areas, and heard thatwe would go there soon. But even afterthe armistice was signed we had to keepgoing, this time on a 350-kilometer hikeinto Germany. In spite of all we wentthrough, however, we wouldn't trade thewords of commendation from GeneralPershing and the French generals (particularly Gouraud, whom we helped stop theGermans in Campagne July 15) for the easeand comfort we missed.When you stop to think that it includes,besides three months in quiet Lorraine sectors, the big defensive in Champagne, theoffensive that wiped out the Chateau-Thierry salient, the St. Mihiel drive, andthe Meuse-Argonne offensive that ended atthe gates of the city of Sedan, where the42nd Division, "farthest north" of theAmerican troops, stepped aside to give theFrench the honor of entering the city sosignificant of French historical crises — whenyou look back at it all, you may not besurprised that my hair is now pretty thinfrom so much wearing of a steel helmet.There are only six men in the battery whowere on the guns at all fronts withoutmissing a day, five others and me (I'llwrite "I" there when I've recovered fromarmy English).We have seen a good share of France.What I saw on two weeks' leave recently,in Dijon, Lyons, Marseilles and Paris, increased my admiration for the people andmy fondness for the country of France.BOX 255Then, too, we've had a sample of Belgiumand of Luxembourg, and considerably morethan that in four months of Germany. Butour stay has not added to our liking forthe Rhine country or its people. We are ina beautiful region here, much different fromthe beautiful lands of France. Each, country has its own type, and the valley of theMarne and the valley of the Moselle (theroute from Paris to Coblenz) are both wonderful in scenery, but far, far different inaspect. Just now I'm hoping for a changeto the valley of the Illinois, and expectingto meet many good friends at the JuneReunion.Yours in anticipation,Frederic R. Kilner, '16,Battery E, 149th F. A.Lt. 149th F. A.A Letter From the Near-EastSyrian Protestant College,Beirut, Syria.My Dear Mr. Moulds:One of the worst phases of our life here,shut up in Turkey, has been the absenceof those influences that have been transforming the life of America. I wonder if Ishall ever be able to measure them at allaccurately. News from one side of the warwe have received through the German papers which we have read fairly regularly. Imust say that apparently the statementscontained in them have proved to be, onthe whole, reliable, but the difficulty hasbeen that they have not contained all thenews. And of course the comment andpoint of view has been German. We haveseen a good deal of the Germans here.Those who came here at the beginning ofthe war were, as a rule, fine men. Theywere decent in their behavior and pleasant socially. But as time went on, andthey were relieved by new men from Germany, the type steadily declined till,towards the end, they were most objectionable and distinctly of a lower moral standard. They certainly did their share inhelping the Turks ruin this country.The four years of the war have been agreat strain on us as on all the world. Wenever knew from day to day what was going to be our fate. Several times we fullyexpected to be carried off to the interior, toAsia Minor, where the British civil prisoners were. But we were left alone and the end here came too suddenly for the Turksto bother about anyone but themselves.The. worst of the, situation for us has beenthe terrible suffering that we have beenforced to see around us. To live for threeyears with people, sometimes by the hundreds dying every day in the streets, and tobe powerless to assist any but a few hasbeen a nerve-racking experience. Whensome of the sufferers were those whom youhad known for years, who had been in youremploy and whom you had known sqcially,the trying nature of the experience wasonly increased. The one more or lessstable element in the situation has beenthe college. One of the last instructionswe received from our Ambassador beforerelations with Turkey were broken off, wasto keep the college open at all costs. Wehave managed to do so, and at no timehave we had less than six hundred students.Most of the students have, to be sure, beenenrolled in the preparatory department, asthe men from the collegiate departmentand the professional schools were drawnoff for the army. Now, like most institutions of our kind, we must build up themembership in the upper classes anew.The financial situation has been one ofthe worst aspects of the situation. Turkeybegan, soon after the war broke out, to issue paper money, which, with the exception of the first two small issues, waswithout security and was unredeemable.It rapidly sank in value till in Septemberlast it was worth only about 15 per cent ofits face value. Meanwhile prices went up,of course, and living for us who receivedpaper at face value from the College wasa problem. Every paper pound we securedhere cost the College from $2 to $3.25, theface value of the pound being $4.44. Youcan easily see what a financial loss the institution has sustained.We had a chance to leave here some twoyears ago, and the trustees gave permissionto all' who wished it to leave. Some ofour number did go, especially those whohad large families of children, or womenwithout husbands. But if any more hadleft, it would have meant closing the College. Just at that time I received an offero" a very attractive position in New York.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEIt was a great disappointment to both mywife and myself to be obliged to refusethe offer. We felt that under the circumstances our duty was here. I knew thatwere I in America, I would not be takenfor army service, as they would not acceptone with my record of broken bones. Thedraft age was then 31, though I shouldhave volunteered had I been home. Wetalked the matter over carefully togetherfor three days which we spent at that timein our summer home in the mountains, anddecided to stick it out. We have not regretted it since, though at times the longing to be in America has been very intense.Those of us who have been keeping thingsgoing here have been doing double dutyand under considerable handicap. ThankHeaven, though things are far from normal, we are at least relieved of the worstof our troubles.We have met many very pleasant Britishers this last month. They have been likea tonic to us all. Most of the men we havemet have been a fine type, cordial and interesting. Their arrival has changed thewhole aspect of the country, though theneed for relief is, and will remain for along time, pressing.We have been cut off from papers andmagazines for so long that we are hungryfor something from home.Harold H. Nelson, '01.On Active Service with the American Expeditionary Forces,American Red Cross,Langres.My Dear Editors:You asked me to write telling you of mywork over here in France. The war isover now and I am awaiting orders to gohome, so my letter will be written aboutthe past entirely.The unit which I joined, Base Hospital53, landed at Southampton September 9th.We proceeded at once to France andreached Langres- about the fifteenth ofSeptember. That night a large convoy ofsick soldiers came in and the hospital wassoon full.I spent my first month over here onnight duty in a very busy ward which wasfilled with pneumonia and influenza pa tients. Each ward was a long low woodenbuilding accommodating fifty patients.When it was filled with sick men, as it wasmost of the time, it kept me very busy. Iwill never forget that first month overhere.We were in the advanced section, but notvery near the front. There was more orless danger from air raids, however, andall the lights in the ward had to be out byeight o'clock at night. The rest of thenight I had to do my work by lantern light.Every few nights the alarm would be givenfor an air raid and every light had to beout, sometimes for hours. None of us everthought for a moment that there was anydanger, but you cannot imagine how difficult it was to try and take care of dyingmen in a long dark' -.ward, and sad to say,there was someone dying most of the time.I had a corps man to help me, but otherwise I was alone. Of course every once ina while a guard would come in and tell meI had a light burning when I shouldn't haveone and the officer of the day would comein twice during the night to see if all waswell.There was a constant change. Just assoon as the men had a rest and were alittle better they would be sent to a basehospital further from the front and othersfrom the front would take their places.The only ones remaining for any length oftime were those who would never return.After night duty I had charge of a surgical ward for some time. There were manybadly wounded men there, and some ofthem were pitiful sights. Nothing, however, has ever seemed so pitiful to me as theconvoys of gassed patients who used tocome in. I was night supervisor for amonth and then spent the rest of my timein charge of the tuberculosis ward. Altogether I hail all the variety that I wanted.There were many things to contend with,cold, rain and mud among other things.We waded around in the mud in our rubber boots for months, as it rained almostcontinuously from September until March.We washed all of our own clothes andpart of the time we had to wash some ofthe linen used in the ward as well.A few weeks after we arrived at Langreswe took charge of another hospital of aLETTER BOX 257thousand beds. As our nursing force was-insufficient for one hospital, the two placeskept us very busy. After the armistice wassigned, the field hospitals near the frontwould send their patients to us when theyclosed, so we were busy until recently.Within the last few weeks about a hundred new nurses arrived, and the work hasbeen much lighter. As the greatest needfor nurses seemed to be over, I asked tobe allowed to return with some other nurseswho were going home and I expect to sailsoon now.Sincerely,Frances A. Starin,My Dear Friends:Just at present it will be much easier tospeak of what we have done here in Francethan to outline any plans for the future.We have existed mainly on rumors sinceNovember the eleventh.When I arrived in Paris, the first of September, I was assigned to duty in the Sa-voic leave area, first at Aix les-Baines, laterat Chambery, where I am still living, andit is of my work here that I shall try togive a brief outline. A Y. M. C. A. centerwas organized here last February. Sincethat time it has constantly grown until weare now taking care of seven hundred men,a number that is really beyond our capacity. We have leased a comfortable old chateau, once the home of the Count de Boine,just opposite the castle of the Dukes ofSavoie. The town of Chambery, the oldcapital of the dukedom, has about thirtythousand inhabitants and is quite Italianin character. The fine old French familiestake a great interest in the Americans.They invite the boys to tea, contribute flowers to our salon, and assist in procuringspecial privileges from the town authoritiesin our behalf.We try to make a home for our boys inevery sense of the word, and judging fromthe enthusiastic letters of gratitude and appreciation which we receive from our depleted guests' we have reason to believethat we have succeeded.There are at present seven women andthree men. A woman, the one now retiringto form another center, has been a residentof Europe for nine years.Our canteen is our pride. We search the < length and breadth of the outlying districtsfor fresh milk, eggs and butter, and therefore are able to serve at our morning canteen eggs, hot cakes, honey, baked applesand fresh home-made doughnuts in addition to the regulation fare of other canteens. Free afternoon tea is always served,with the addition of home-made cake orpie, and the crowning glory of all is freeice cream late in the evening after themovies. Since our accommodations aremore restricted than Aix-les Baines, wherethe Y. M. C. A. uses the splendid Casinoof a famous watering place, we make aspecialty of free food and the fame thereofhas spread even beyond Aix.The location of Chambery in the edgeof the French Alps, affords glorious viewsof the snowy Alps, including Mount Blancin our out-of-door excursion.I assist in conducting these walks andnever cease to be thrilled by the long linesof majestic Alps. Grenoble is the nextleave area to the south, while down on theMediterranean we have Nice and surrounding towns, and we hear that a new centermay be opened in the Pyrenees before thesoldiers are sent home.While the work is strenuous and neverending, we all feel that it is well worthwhile. We have our boys with us, mostof them directly from the front, for sevendays, and there is a greater opportunity formaking friends and learning their needsthan there could possibly be nearer thefront.In the course of the week we dance withthem, play cards and tennis, go bicycling,mountain-climbing, picnicing, with differentgroups and lend a sympathetic ear to thelong tales of fighting and suffering . anddeeds of heroism they have to tell. Oftenwe lend them money for, I regret to say,they often come on their vacation unpaidand with no fresh clothes.. It certainly increases each man's self-respect to feel thathe has a few francs' in his pocket withwhich to enjoy a hard-earned vacation.;)No.w that the active fighting is over, theboys are1 very impatient to get home andall our resources are to be put to the test.But we are glad we are here and allowedtoi4o our bit helping our own boys.'

Of the total numberof alumni who have thus been engaged inthe service, the doctors have no doubt supplied their fair proportion. No exact figures are at hand on this point, but it ishardly possible to turn to any of the important activities in connection with theGovernment service, either on this side orover there, without finding the names of"Chicago" doctors, many of whom haveoccupied prominent positions and contributed valuable service to the cause. It ishoped that in connection with this 1919 reunion, a large number of doctors will beable to return to the University and joinin this home-coming tribute to the livingand dead alumni who have done their partin this great world conflict.

At their annual meeting in December, the American Sociological Society devoted the entire session to the subject ofsociology and education. The papers read anddiscussions which followed represent the viewpoints of academic sociologists and of practical social workers. These papers by themembers of the American Sociological Societyhave all been published in Volume XIII of thePapers and Proceedings of that Society, whichis just from the University of Chicago Press.A Source Book of Biological Nature Study,by the University Press. The Preface:The constantly changing point of view ineducation, the ever-widening outlook of scienceand its new applications, make it necessarythat the teacher be provided, every few years,with a restatement of the subject-matter ofscience available for instruction. This SourceBook of Biological Nature-Study undertakesto make significant some of the commonplace environment and to suggest ways in whichliving material may serve educational ends.The great contributions of science to thelife of mankind are : its emphasis on thescientific mode of thinking or the problem-seeing, problem-solving attitude of mind; amass of scientific knowledge that serves as thebasis for desirable skill ; and an interpretation of nature productive of an inspiring appreciation, both intellectual and aesthetic, ofher phenomena. Science instruction needs toassure these things to the individual pupil.The material here presented is thereforethrown into problem form, is selected forits social and practical values, and yet is commonplace, so that the everyday things maystand revealed as the wonders they really are.The book is to be read in connection with thework outlined in the Field and LaboratoryGuide in Biological Nature-Study. It is hopedthat through the teachers the practical knowledge and inspiring spirit of science may bepassed on to the pupils.Elliot R.

Swift,and out of his $18 deal eventually grew agreat nation-wide organization.* * *It is an organization built up graduallyfrom its modest $18 beginning by puttingaash into the business, and by saving andreinvesting each year a part of the profits,which amount to only a fraction of a centper pound.The share holders have been content withreasonable dividends, and have been willingto allow the remainder of the profits to be used to expand the business and the service,as the country has grown.The fractions of cents that have beensaved from annual profits have helped tobuild new packing plants as the demand formeat grew — fractions of cents have financednew branch houses to supply vital needs ofdistribution — fractions of cents have builtrefrigerator cars to make fresh meat regularly available everywhere.It is difficult to imagine any other methodof building up a vital business which wouldinvolve so little hardship to the people of thecountry.If Swift & Company were to eliminateits entire earnings — these fractions ofcents that have built packing plants, branchhouses and refrigerator cars — the price ofmeat would be practically unaffected.Swift & Company, U.

There is the groupof those who look back comfortably over the3rears, knowing that each year has yieldedits measure of progress.And there is the other group— the menwho think: "If only I had it to do overagain, how much better I could do it. ' 'They look back and say to themselves :"'There was the turning; if only I couldhave seen it in time." To such men thenight brings its bad moments — when theythink of what they are and what they mighthave been. .To increase the number of men who, atfifty, can be satisfied with their careers, isthe business of the Alexander HamiltonInstitute.85, 000 men enrolledThe Alexander Hamilton Institute was founded ten years ago, with the specific purpose of giving men the all-round knowledge of ModernBusiness that fits them for executive responsibility.It does for men in business what the law schooldoes for men in law; or the medical school formen in medicine.It has only one Course ; it offers no training forspecialized positions of limited opportunity.In a ten-year period 85,000 men haveenrolled in its Modern Business Course andService. They are representative of even-stratum and phase of business. More than13,000 are corporation presidents.Business and educational authority of thehighest type are represented in the Institute'sAdvisory Council.This Council consists of Frank A. Vanderlip, President of the National City Bank of New York, General Coleman duPont, thewell-known business executive ; John HaysHammond, the eminent engineer; JeremiahW. Jenks, the statistician and economist; andJoseph French Johnson, Dean of the NewYork University School of Commerce.The remarkable percentageof college menTwo facts are noteworthy in the Institute'srecord. In the first place the average age ofthe men enrolled with it is slightly over thirty.Not to boys is its appeal, but to mature men,who reach the age when they realize that theircareers will be made or marred by the recordof the few years just ahead.The second striking fact is the very largeproportion of college men enrolled. Over33% of them are college graduates.You, who read this page, may have reachedthe point in your career where you want tomake the next few years yield double progress.Or you may be the sort of college man towhom younger men are frequently turning foradvice.In either case you owe it to yourself to knowsomething more of the character and achievements of this great educational force.A free book worth sending forFor the information of college men whoare interested in better business theInstitute has set aside a certain number of its 112-page book "ForgingAhead in Business."It is worth an evening's careful readingand it is free.
