Thethe Cabin autumn quarter also sihowsthe tendency of the times.Certain departments are smaller than inprevious autumn quarters, but the institution as a whole is bigger than ever before.The number of undergraduates entering forthe first time — what the uninformed alumnuswould probably call the freshman "class —is just under a thousand. In consequencethe facilities of the university are strainedto the utmost. A new schedule has beenadopted, with classes at eight different periods during the day, from 8-12 and from1-5, and every available inch of class roomspace is being utilized. But even so, it» proved very difficult to find room for theclasses. However, what seemed at first impossible was accomplished.The undergraduate interests, from theadministrative point of view, are beinglooked after by a newChanges in the dean — David A. Robertson,Administration '02, for some years secretary to the president, butin July appointed to a new position created by the Board of Trustees, the dean-ship of the colleges. Dean Robertson istoo well known to alumni to require introduction. His position invests him with a part of the responsibilities formerly held byMr. Angell, who resigned in the spring-to become president of the Carnegie Corporation, and with those of ProfessorLovett, who resigned the deanship of theJunior Colleges in the summer. In placeof the writer, who resigned as dean lastJune, has been appointed Assistant Professor David H. Stevens, of the departmentof English,So far as attendance goes, the problem ofthe university, like that of its sister institutions, is not to in-Raising the crease it, but to ad-Admission Standard just it. Next year aradical advance willbe made in requirements for admission.No students will be permitted to enter oncertificate unless their average grade intheir preparatory school work is higherthan that actually demanded for "passing,"by one-third of the difference between thepassing mark and one hundred. For instance, if the "passing" mark is 70, thestudent must have averaged 80 to be allowed entrance to Chicago. Exception willbe made to some specially recommendedstudents, who pass a psychological test;the object of the exception being to permitthe entrance of the sort of really ableyoung men and women who wake up lateto the importance of study. Whether thischange, and the higher rate of tuition (nowTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE$60 a quarter) will hold down the attendance cannot be even guessed at yet.A raise in the salary scale of the university went into effect at the beginning ofthe summer quarter that inMeeting the connection with the pre-Cost of Living ceding raise of last year putsthe university among theleaders in the country in respect to theremuneration of the staff. The whole scalewill be presented in detail in the magazinein next month's issue. In general it maybe said to be surprising, as university salaries go, in its liberality. The changes inthe scale, last year and this, involve theincome from a principal fund of four million dollars. Much of the increased sumfrom tuition fees, however, can undoubtedlybe used for this increase in salaries.The football team this season has encountered a series of accidents that hasthrown into the shade any-Hoeing a thing ever before experienced.Hard Row In the first place, Elton, captain in 1918, was declared ineligible by the conference, because he would have been in residence for twelve quartershad he not taken the trip to Japan withthe baseball team in the spring, and couldhave completed the requirements for hisdegree by attending the university in thesummer quarter. Crisler and Cole, the twobest halfbacks available after Elton, werehurt, Cole dislocating his shoulder earlyin the Ohio State game and going out forthe season. Hanisch, the first-string fullback, broke his wrist on the third play inthe Illinois game, and though he playedthrough the rest of the contest, was thenretired for the season. Lesser injuries innumerable have played havoc with the otherback-field candidates and the ends. As adirect result Chicago has been defeated, atthis time of writing, by Ohio State (7-6)and Illinois (3-0). The eleven has, however,endeared itself to the university by the exhibition of a fighting spirit seldom surpassed in our annals. The action of Hanischin concealing his injury and playing forfifty-eight minutes with a broken arm,though foolhardy, has for sheer nerve probably never been equalled in football history.Cobb Hall and the C BenchAFFAIRS yMembers of the Executive Committee-Clarence C. Bulger, Rachel M. Foote.It was then decided to hold meetingstwice a month, the following meeting tobe held October 29th, but the dates andplace of meeting for subsequent gatheringsto be determined by the executive committee. It was also left to the committee toconsider programs for future meetings,although an informal discussion was held bythe members to give some suggestion ofwhat might be acceptable. Plans were alsomade for putting notices of the club in thepapers, and for advertising the club bypersonal efforts of the members. The meeting as a whole was most informal, businessbeing suspended momentarily several timesfor reminiscences of the "good old days"and discussion of what's doing on thecampus now.Those present were Mrs. T. B. Kendrick,'02; Miss Kendrick, Clarence C. Bulger,'02; Prof. J. S. Mcintosh, Ph.D., '09; MabelWeston, ex-'13; Chester A. Hammill, '12;Rhoda I. Hammill, '14; Prof. Frederick D.Smith, Ph.D., '16; H. H. Guice, '16; H. T.McBrayer, Mr. and Mrs. Paul O'Day, HugoSwan and Miss Harvey.Sincerely yours,Rhoda I. Hammill, Sec'y.P. S. — It has been impossible at this 'earlydate to get detailed information regardingeach of the members of the Dallas Club, butI hope in the near future to be in positionto send you all the facts which may be ofinterest to our fellow alumni.Annual Football Dinner of Chicago AlumniClubThe annual Football Dinner, given bythe University of Chicago Alumni Club ofChicago to the "Grand Old Man" and histeam, was held on Thursday evening, November 3, at the University Club. Somethree hundred alumni attended and thetalks, songs, cheers and fine spirit againmade this annual affair a great success.The credit for the big success of thisgathering is mostly due to Charles F. Axelson, '09, President of the Club, who presided, and to Harvey L. Harris, '14, Secretary of the Club.John Schommer, Henry Gale, '"Pete" Russell, "Charlie" Higgins, "Babe" Meigs,"Jimmy" Sheldon, "Nels" Norgren,"Bubbles" Hill, Dan Boone, and otherformer football stars, gave talks to theteam, and letters and telegrams were read,from Adam Wyant, Walter Eckersall andothers. Don Richberg again furnished hisexcellent annual "amusement," this time inthe form of a "Prophecy" of football, officials, style of play, and the crowds, as theywill appear in 1950.Mr. Stagg, as customary, presented themembers of the team one by one, telling ofthe merits and weaknesses of each player. Despite frank criticism here and there, however, all the boys were cheered, the alumnishowing appreciation of their efforts. Afterthe team departed, Mr. Stagg discussed thefootball situation, pointing out how unusualinjuries had repeatedly broken in on hisplans for the development of a team, especially destroying chances for a strong offense with a well-rounded backfield. FredWalker; assistant coach, also told of thedifficulties which confronted the coachingstaff, but predicted that the men would be acredit to Chicago as a fighting team. It isneedless to add that the "Old Man" andFred were roundly cheered."Teddy" Linn and others also gave interesting talks. This annual football dinner is undoubtedly one of the best alumniaffairs of the year. At this dinner theOld University and every class from '93to '20 were well represented.Alumni Council Quarterly Meeting.The first regular quarterly meeting of theAlumni Council, for the year 1920-1921, washeld in the Alumni Office, Cobb Hall, onThursday, October 21, 1920, at 8 p. m.There were present: Thomas J. Hair,chairman;. Norman H. Pritchard, CharlesF. McElroy, Shirley Farr, Elizabeth Faulkner, Guy C. Crippen, William H. Lyman,Harold H. Swift, Howell W. Murray, Walter Hudson, Earl D. Hostetter, Marion E.Palmer, Frank McNair, Lawrence H. Whiting, Henry G. Gale, Charles F. Axelson,Leo F. Wormser, Alice Greenacre, Mrs.Ethel Kawin Bachrach, Helen Norris andA. G. Pierrot, secretary-treasurer.Financial statements of the AlumniCouncil for the year 1919-1920, were presented and discussed, and a budget for thecoming j^ear prepared. Mr. William H.Lyman was appointed chairman of theAuditing Committee, to audit the booksof the Council arid to report thereon atthe next regular meeting in January. Thesecretary pointed out the rising costs inthe manufacture and distribution of theMagazine and in office expenses. The budget was so drawn in an endeavor to meetthe increased costs.At this meeting the first Alumni FundDirectors were elected, a notice of whichappears elsewhere in this number.Howell W. Murray, chairman, announcedthe following as members of the AthleticsCommittee: Dan Ferguson, Harvey L.Harris and Hays McFarland. Among otherthings, this committee hopes to make arrangements whereby aluSini can obtaintickets for athletic games through thealumni office. Harold H. Swift, chairmanof the Alumni Clubs Committee, stated thatthe alumni clubs work was just gettingunder way for the year; there were indications of considerable club activity, starting(Continued on page 33)THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEan— n«Jt<The New Commission Plani._.„- _*Trustee Harold H. Swift, '07At the Trustees' Dinner given by theBoard of Trustees to the members of theFaculty of the University in October, announcement was made of a new step recently authorized by the Trustees whichpromises to have far reaching effects inbringing together the Alumni, the Trustees,the Faculties and leading citizens of Chicago in the interests of the University.The plan contemplates the establishmentof fourteen University Commissions, onefor each of the main groups of Universityinterest. On each Commission will be twoAlumni, one tp be chosen _by the AlumniCouncil, the other to be appointed by thePresident of the Trustees on the nomination of the President of the University.On 'each Commission there will be one ofthe University Trustees with an alternate,two members of the particular Faculty withthe work of which the Commission is todeal, and two or more other residents ofChicago or the central west who will beappointed by the President of the Boardon recommendation of the President of theUniversity. It will be seen that on eachCommission there will be represented fourimportant groups, Alumni, Trustees, Faculties and citizens not already officially related to the University.Each Commission is to meet at least once each quarter excepting the summer quarter and is to hold at least one meeting eachyear with the whole teaching force of theeducational group with which it deals. Therewill also be in the Spring Quarter one jointmeeting of all the Commissions with theBoard of Trustees. The fourteen Commissions to be appointed will be for the LawSchool, the Medical School, the GraduateSchool, the Divinity School, the School ofEducation, the School of Commerce andAdministration, the Colleges of Arts, Literature and Science, Women's Interests, Historical Group (Political Economy, PoliticalScience, History, Sociology and Anthropology), Modern Language Group, ClassicalLanguage Group, Physics, Chemistry andMathematics, Geology and Geography,Biological Group (Zoology, Anatomy,Physiology, Botany, Pathology, Hygieneand Bacteriology). Of each the Presidentof the University will be an ex-officiomember.The duty of each Commission will beto study the work of its school or groupof interests and make occasional suggestions to the Board of Trustees as to themanner of improving the work of the schoolor group.The Commission's plan is the fruition ofa plan which has been long cherished byPresident Judson and which has been under advisement by an able committee ofthe Board of Trustees for some monthspast. This committee consisted of HaroldH. Swift, '07, chairman; T. E. Donnelleyand Charles W. Gilkey. It is believed thatthe Commissions will greatly stimulate andinvigorate University work by bringingFaculty and Trustees together and by actively relating representative Alumni andother citizens with the work and organization of the University.The plan promises a new degree of integration of the principal groups concernedand interested in University affairs and anew efficiency and sympathy and co-operation among them. It makes it possible notonly to bring more and more Alumni intoactive relations with the University, butmore and more of the representative citizens of Chicago and the central west, somany of whom have testified their interestin the University by great gifts to its resources.This plan, it is believed, will effect threethings: (1) Fostering a closer relationshipbetween the alumni and the University;(2) developing a closer relationship betweenthe Faculties and Board of Trustees; (3) developing more actively the interests of representative Chicagoans in the University.COSTUMES AT REUNIONS u"""^— MB— H»— ■.Jin— UN— :iu— UN— M— - Krl—— NH— «-HPI— M-^— uu — —UN— NR<^I«—- tK-^lK^— Nlt~ll«— -NH-^— mi — im — m,.^>iH-JLClass Costumes at Reunions jBy George M. Morris, Law '15 !Reacting to the suggestion in the Junenumber of The Magazine that you inviteopinions on the costuming of fraternitiesat the annual University Sing and the wearing by the classes of designative headgearat the June reunions, I offer the following:It must be evident that if the somewhatunwieldy body of the alumni is to be ledto an achievement of the 'expressed objectsof the Alumni Association, we must selectone or more units of organization of thatvaried and scattered body. The first obvious division is an arrangement of thealumni into the various schools from whichthey have been graduated. By far the mostimportant of these "schools" for the purpose of alumni cohesion is the undergradu-rate college.Taking this type as an example that willdo for all, it is still obvious that all thegraduates of that department require afurther division. The generally recognizedsubdivision is that of the classes in accordance with the year of graduation. These aresocial groups selected in a large measure bychance. The only other unit that readilysuggests itself is the social group resulting from self-perpetuating selection, i. e., thefraternity, the girls' club, etc. The questionis,_ to the development of which of theseunits should we devote our greater energies?It is, of course, clear that, from the standpoint of numbers at least, that the greaterpossibility of cultivation is in the classesdesignated by their graduation. That this isrealized by the University while a studentis still an undergraduate is evidenced bythe encouragement given to the formationof class organizations, class dances, parties,etc., and the attention and money put intosuch projects as the Reynolds Club andIda Noyes Hall, where the groupings of themen and women are nearly always byclasses. It is true that in these latter institutions and those similar, the distinctionof Senior and Junior college membershipis sometimes made, but the distinction isnecessarily a temporary one only, so faras the individual student is concerned.There are many other evidences of the desire to clasify undergraduates by the 3rearthey are listed to graduate, or hope tograduate, and one of the appeals of everyreunion is the opportunity it affords tomeet again one's classmates. The "quarter"'system does present difficulties to the whollysuccessful operation from this basis, but inspite of this we find always manifest theemployment of the graduating class system as the basis upon which to establish anucleus.There_ can be little_ doubt that thefraternities, clubs and societies supply something in the social life of. the Universitythat would be unfilled except b_y similar organizations under a different name, but thesphere of influence of these bodies is limitedby the circumstance that they cannot, because of their nature, include everyone. Onthe other hand, the classes do include everyone and render him "get-at-able" by his classofficers. To achieve a similar homogeneityupon the fraternity classification basis wemust embrace all non-members of thefraternities in some catch-all such as "TheCampus Club." This, however, seems tome to accentuate "the sheep and the goats"ideas and is very apt to lead to difficultiesof various natures.If these arguments, together with themany more they must suggest to the mind,have carried conviction as to the desirabilityof employing the graduating class as theunit of the alumni organization it should beconceded that, except where the fraternities,clubs and societies have something to offerwhich the classes cannot yet give, 'everyeffort should be devoted to the development of the class as the unit. Indeed thisis the principle which I feel should be theone to guide not only all the reunion andalumni activities, but should be applied withemphasis from the moment a boy or girlenters the University.For the present, immediate application ofthis principle may be made in answeringthe suggestion that "each group or fraternitybe accompanied by musicians, wear funnycostumes, or in some other way add to thecolor and variety of the occasion." TheUniversity Sing is a splendid custom, inspiring, entertaining and, I understand,original with the University of Chicago.The fraternities really are responsible forthe success of this affair, because while theirmembers could hardly be called "trained,"they are accustomed to singing together. Inthe absence of well-developed class singing,the fraternities and groups associated withthem furnish something unobtainable elsewhere in our ranks. At the same time theymake an additional appeal to bring theiralumni members back to the campus.So far fine; but if we begin to place additional emphasis upon the fraternity division,particularly when we can better employ thatemphasis to develop the spirit of the class(Continued on page 32)THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE— Htji^HH-— Mil—Views of Other UniversitiesThe University of Illinois ,x.* N b — ■!)

C.) and form the most extensivegroup of such figures ever discovered in onetomb. In addition to a group of royal seal cylinders and a group of some seventy-five alabaster vases, is a collection of abouta hundred and fifty predynastic and earlydynastic hard stone vases, one being inscribed with the name of the first Pharaoh(3400 B. C).Among other acquisitions is a group ofabout one hundred bronzes, including ^omesixty-five statuettes and a series of fine battleaxes which form the finest collection ofbronzes ever brought from the Near East toAmerica. A beautifully written papyrusroll of the Book of the Dead, probably ofthe seventh or sixth century B. C, is farthe best manuscript of this book as yetbrought to America; and the purchase ofthe Timins Collection of stone weaponsand implements gives to the University thefinest collection of Egyptian Stone Age industries in this country.From Asia comes a series of two hundredand fifty-eight cuneiform tablets containingbusiness records and a copy of the RoyalAnnals of Sennacherib.

Injuries, more than the loss of theOhio game, have crippled the championshiphopes.To start the training season on September 15 Mr. Stagg had a S'quad that numbered close to 50 men. About half thatnumber were football players, and most ofthe reserve strength was in the line material. There were about five backs, of average ability, but no more. Letter men onthe squad included Capt. Jackson, McGuire, tackles; Hinkle, Crisler, Halladay,ends; Pheney, guard; Reber, center; Cole,quarter; Rouse, Hutchinson, halfbacks;Hermes and Hanisch, fullbacks.The season started auspiciously enoughwith a 20-0 victory over Purdue. Chicago'sline was not quite so good as it might havebeen, and Purdue gained fairly steadily, butthe Boilermakers made too many slips, andthe Maroons followed the ball all the time,turning slips into touchdowns. A niceshort-pass game was one of the satisfactory features of the Stagg attack.Wabash a week later was much too weakfor Chicago. For one quarter, by playinga straight defensive game, Wabash heldeven, but they cracked in the second quarter, and the final score was 41-0. Againthe short-pass game was worked successfully by Chicago.Iowa offered stiffer resistance, but wasdefeated, 10-0. Aubrey Devine, Iowa quarterback, was the main reliance of the visit ors, and though he bothered the Maroonswith twisting runs off tackle, and his accurate passing, he alone was not sufficient tocarry the ball down the field. A long pass,from Crisler to Hinkle, put Chicago in position to score in the first quarter. In thelast period, Cole dropped the ball over forthree points.The Maroons, including Mr. Stagg, ratherbelieved they could defeat Ohio. Chicago,Illinois and Ohio on October 30 were theonly undefeated teams in the conference.An Ohio fumble, picked up by FullbackPalmer, brought Chicago a touchdown earlyin the first quarter. Capt. Jackson missedthe goal, but the Maroons worried littleover that. In giving Palmer interferencefor his run, Cole's shoulder' was fractured,and he was taken out.Tatge took his place at quarter, andunder his guidance the Maroons played asafe game, attempting to make the sixpoints win the game. Crisler, the bestpasser on the squad, was hurt in the thirdquarter, and went out, and Hinkle, end,likewise a good passer, had not been ableto start because of a "charley horse."Hanisch, regular full, was also kept out ofthe lineup.The last three quarters saw the Maroonsmake their gamble on six points, neveropening up with the passes that had beentheir main reliance all season. There weregolden opportunities in the second quarterfor passes, but Tatge refused to use them.Mr. Stagg said after the game that Tatgeshould have opened up, especially duringthe second quarter, and that he also toldthe quarter between halves that he mustuse more open plays. For some reason,however, Tatge refused to obey, and therewas no one left to send in to direct theteam.The fourth quarter, was practically overwhen Clark, a green man, the same whowas tennis doubles champion with Lin-dauer in 1917, was sent in to do the kicking.Chicago was on its own 20-yard line thesecond time Clark essayed to punt, and thekick went 15 yards down the field, into thehands of an Ohio man, who came back fiveyards. That break dazed Chicago, and infour smashes and one pass, the ball wentover, Workman kicking the winning goal.Loss of the game was not so disastrousas loss of Cole, who will be out for theseason, and Crisler, who will not be ableto play against Illinois, and probably notagainst Michigan.

He was a "mostlikeable chap, indeed,"and always clear anddefinite in his views. Ayear ago, December 1,1919, Barrows was electedPresident of the University of California —and this brief biographical sketch may possiblyexplain why.David Prescott Barrows was born June 27,1873, in Chicago, the sonof Thomas and EllaAmelia (Cole) Barrows.The earliest subject ofstudy which attractedBarrows was the life andhabits of the AmericanIndians, particularlythose of southern California, the Colorado desert, and the southwesternUnited States generally.From 1890 to 1899 hespent nearly every vacation in researches amongthem, thus laying thefoundation of thoseethnological studieswhich later gained him the directorship ofthe Bureau of non-Christian tribes in thePhilippines. In 1894 he received his B.A.degree from Pomona College, California,and in 1895 his M.A. degree from the University of California. In 1896 he studied atColumbia University, and then came to theUniversity of Chicago, receiving his Ph.D.degree in 1897. The honorary degree ofLL.D. has been conferred upon him byPomona College and by the University ofCalifornia.On July 18th, in 1895, Mr. Barrows wasmarried to Miss Anna Spenser (Nichols), ofBurlington, Vermont.In 1900 Mr. Barrows went to the Philippines as superintendent of schools at Manila,and thus entered upon the pioneer workthere of laying the foundations of the modern school system of the Philippine Islands.The next year he became chief of the BuDavid Prescott Barrowspines, and then, from 1903 to 1909 served asdirector of education for the Islands. Ex-President Taft is reported to have said during his visit to the Philippines in 1906 thatthe work of the educational department wassecond to no work being done by the American Government in thePhilippines, and that Dr.Barrows possessed amost profound .knowledge of and sympathyfor the Filipino people.In 1910 Dr. Barrowsreturned to America tobecome Professor ofEducation and Dean ofthe Graduate School ofthe University of California; in 1913 he became Dean of the Faculties there, and duringthe absence of PresidentBenjamin I. Wheeler, in1913, he served as ActingPresident of the University.Mr. Barrows was commissioned Major of Cavalry in the NationalArmy, in 1917, and detailed to the Ninety-FirstDivision at Camp Lewis.In 1918 he was commissioned Lieutenant Colonel of Cavalry and ordered to the Philippinesas Commanding Officerof the 348th MachineGun Battalion. Later he was designated Intelligence Officer of the Army, with headquarters at Manila, and in March, 1918, hewas ordered to Siberia on a special militarymission. He returned to Manila in July,1918, to assist in the organization of theAmerican Expeditionary Force that was pulinto Siberia. In April, 1919, he was discharged from the Army, and recommis-sioned in the Officers' Reserve Corps.Shortly after his return to the Universityof California, Dr. Barrows was electee!President of that university, an institutionwith an enrollment of around 10,000 students. He has published a number of booksarticles and reports, among them being arimportant History of the Philippines. LaslJune President Barrows was the Convocation orator at the University of Chicagcand was the guest of honor at the annuadinner of our Association of Doctors o:reau of non-Christian Tribes of the Philip- Philosophy.ALUMNI 19Milton Sills, '03Political parties are not the only organizations that can "point with pride." TheUniversity of Chicago Dramatic Club canwell "point with pride" to some of itsformer members who have achieved notable success in dramatic fields. Perhaps the"leading man" among the Dramatic Clubalumni is Milton Sills, '03, who, ever sincehis entrance into stage work in 1906, hasrisen steadily in that profession."Milt," as they called him, was born inChicago, the son of a Chicago merchant,and, after graduation from Hyde Park HighSchool, entered the University in 1899.From the first he was deeply interested indramatics and dramatic literature, and heplayed a number of partsin the Dramatic Clubplays of his student days.His "farewell performance" with the club was inthe part of Dave Hardy,in Esmeralda of the South,presented January 23,1903, at the Fine ArtsMusic Hall down town.Sills is a member of theDeta Kappa Epsilon fraternity. After leaving theUniversity he did a yearof "road work," and thenentered the Chicagodramatic art studio ofDonald Robertson, partlyfor further study and partly as an instructor.The next year he playedleading parts with thecompany which Mr. Robertson organized to playin Chicago and in the university towns and cities inIllinois and adjoiningstates.This company enteredupon an unusual venture,by playing a large repertoire of classicalplays, such as Moliere's "The Miser,"Ibsen's "Rosmerholm," and plays byBjornsen, Calderon, Browning, Maeterlinckand other great dramatists, past andpresent. The company achieved considerablesuccess, although presenting many playswhich were not considered commerciallysuccessful. In this endeavor Mr. Sills wasan enthusiastic worker, and he attainedprominence by his acting in a number ofleading and difficult parts, though still ayoung man. Incidentally, a number ofother former members of the Universityof Chicago Dramatic Club entered into andassisted this venture.In 1908 Sills went to New York City in aplay produced by the Shuberts, and for someyears thereafter he played in New Yorkand London, with occasional engagementsMilton Sills, '03in some of the large cities of America,particularly in the East and the Middle-West. A large share of his work was doneunder David Belasco, for whom he actedas leading man for several seasons. Herose rapidly in his profession, and soonachieved that common desire of most actors, namely, to have his services in suchhigh demand as to keep him engaged inNew York City practically all of the time.On May 26, 1910, in London, England,he was married to Gwladys Wynne, a sisterof the famous actress, Edith Wynne Mathe-son. The Sills have one child, a daughter,Dorothy, and reside at 450 Riverside Drive,New York City.Mr. Sills is a member of the Players Cluband of the Lambs Club,New York. He has written several articles on thedrama and allied subjects.Some articles by him inthe Actors' Equity Magazine, on "The Actor andthe Labor-Capital Problem," attracted wide attention. During the greatwar he was active in Liberty-loan work.Within the last fewyears he began doing moving picture work, at firstlargely as a "side line" tohis regular work on thestage. His success in the"movies" was such, however, as to bring him moreand more in demand, until,as at the present time, hehas come to devote hisservices almost entirely tothe screen. He is now astar in special productionsof the Famous Players-Lasky corporation.Sills states that his"hobby" is still his "oldin music and philosophy."college interestRecently he was asked what he thought ofa university education and this is his opinion :"It is the richest background possible forall of one's later life. A university traininggives one a method of approach and attackon any occupation. In my particular workon the stage and screen it has been invaluable. But, more important than its utilitarian value, is its value in enhancing one'sleisure life — one's life of reading and appreciation and social pleasures. There is nopoint of contact with the world about methat doesn't take on an interest and a meaning, largely due to what I bring to it frommy college background."THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEI The Letter Box \Good Cheer From ProvidenceOctober 18, 1920.Alumni Council,University of Chicago, .Chicago, 111.Dear Mr. Pierrot:I enclose a check for the second installment of my pledge (to the Alumni Fund)with my heartiest wishes for the final success of the undertaking. I feel rather lostand alone way out here, away from everything connected with the U. of C, but TheMagazine helps greatly to keep my spiritlinked with our grand institution.Very sincerely yours,Richard F.

I agree with you that theFootball Meeting was one of the best wehave ever had.In reference to activities of the AlumniClub, I think there should be more thantwo meetings during the year. I also thinkthat there is a very large field that could becovered by the Athletic Committee withthe Chicago and suburban high schools.In view of your explanations concerningthe Alumni Club, I shall be very glad torenew my membership if the organizationis going to really become a live wire.Thanking you for your letter and interestin the matter, I am,Very truly yours.William M. Shirley, Jr., '16.On Chicago SpiritSeptember 2, 1920.Editor U. of C. Magazine.58th and Ellis Avenue,Chicago, 111.Dear Sir:The article by Howard K. Beale, in theJuly number of The Magazine, entitled "Has Chicago a Spirit?" ought to be printedin the form of a little pamphlet and distributed, not only among our own alumni,but to the general public in Chicago.Mr. Beale has answered his own questionby stating that the U. of C. has a collegespirit of a type which is far more to bedesired than the college spirit of other institutions. The college spirit of the U. ofC, as explained by Mr. Beale, is on ahigher plane and indictative of more broad-mindedness and culture than the collegespirit of any other institution about whichI have 'ever heard.W. J. McDowell, '03.To the Daily Maroon"I have read with a great deal of interestyour editorial, 'Opportunity in Ellis,' (Military Dept.), in the October 7th edition ofThe Daily Maroon. Your statement of thetension existing in the relations betweenthe countries of the world, and your conclusion that the outlook for the world at largeis not a peaceful one, are correct. It is certain that anything that can be done toproperly prepare for war is a greater guarantee for peace, and as a nation we musthave a great interest in preparedness."The people of this country, especiallythose of us who are in the service as aprofession, deprecate war, and to all theterm 'preparedness' has a forbidden sound.It must be remembered, however, that everyinvention or improvement which makes thecountry economically stronger, adds to itsmilitary strength. In like measure, everyelement in the training of men, whichmakes them wiser, more eager, andphysically stronger, adds to the nationalstrength a force, valuable alike in the pursuits of peace and in the response to callin times of national need. The trainingof officers after the outbreak of hostilitiesis one of the most serious problems asdemonstrated in the last war, and theR. O. T. C. has been instituted in orderthat a reservoir of trained officers may beproduced in time of peace."Present estimates indicate that theUnited States Navy will be the largest andmost powerful of all navies of the worldin 1923, with that of Great Britain second.The development of the land forces of thiscountry must keep pace to the limit enforced by Congressional legislation."Very sincerely,"WM. J. SNOW,"Major General, U. S. A"Chief of Field Artillery."(Continued on page 34)OF EDUCATIONSchool of EducationSummer Quarter of 1920The Summer Quarter of- 1920 was oneof the most interesting and successful quarters which the School of Education has everexperienced. The registration approximated that of 1916, which was the previoushigh-water mark in attendance. Those whohave been in attendance during the regularacademic year only will be interested toknow that there were more than five hundred graduate students taking courses inBlaine Hall and more than one thousandundergraduate students. These numbers donot include the hundreds of students registered in the Colleges of Arts, Literature andScience who took one or more courses in•education.The student body was composed of anunusual group of more or less mature menand women. They came from practicallyevery state, from the countries to the north,to the south and across the seas. One instructor reported that the members of oneof his classes represented forty-one statesand four foreign countries. This wide distribution of students makes the classroomsvaluable clearing houses of educationalpractice.All of the regular instructors were in residence. In addition more than forty visiting instructors gave courses. These included men of national reputation such asDr. Leonard P. Ayres, Director of the Division of Education, Russell Sage Foundation,New York; Stuart A. Courtis, Director ofEducational Research, Public Schools, Detroit, Mich.; John W. Withers, Superintendent of Public Instruction, St. Louis,Mo., and others of equal note.Alumni of the School of Education playeda very important part in making the Summer Quarter a successful one. Twenty-three of the visiting instructors had previously taken courses, and in most cases hadreceived one or more degrees in the Schoolof Education. The Alumni Committee believes that this large representation ofalumni on the summer faculty is a verysignificant fact. It indicates that our graduates are rapidly assuming positions of leadership and are contributing in a very effective way to the further development of theSchool.Numerous opportunities were provided forthe social life of the students. The usualnumber of receptions were held in Scam-mon Gardens. A country fair was held inBlaine Court one afternoon. Social half- hours each day furnished a meeting placefor students and members of the faculty.These different social functions resulted inthe development of a spirit of friendlinessand good fellowship. Special mentionshould be made of the Graduate Women'sClub. This club was organized during thefirst term and had a number of very successful meetings. It is a social club forthe discussion of professional problems bythe women graduate students.During the first term of the SummerQuarter the Education Club held weeklymeetings. The numerous programs carriedout by the Home Economics and the Kindergarten-Primary Departments were attended by large numbers of the students inthese departments. Groups of students,such as high school principals, elementaryschool principals and superintendents, organized conferences which dealt with theirspecial interests. Their regular weekly discussions were very interesting and valuable. Conferences of a similar characterhave been carried on successfully for somany years that they are now considereda necessary and important part of the Summer Quarter. These students deserve muchpraise for their interest in professionalproblems and for their willingness to organize such conferences at the expense to themselves of a great deal of time and effort.Recent Appointments in the College ofEducationDr. Guy T. Buswell has been given therank of assistant professor in education.Dr. Buswell received his degree from theUniversity of Chicago in June of the current year.

Miss Cce's courseswill take the place in a measure of thosewhich have usually been given by ProfessorSargent, who is on leave of absence for theyear. Professor Sargent is making an intensive study of the commercial uses ofdesign and a careful investigation of modernart tendencies. He is looking forward to areorganization of art instruction in publicschools which will be more practical andeffective than traditional types of trainingin art.Mr. Louis Henry Sandhusen, a graduatestudent in the Department of Education,has been given the rank of instructor in theArt Department.Mr. Henry T. Fultz, who has charge ofthe work in industrial education in the University High School, will give courses in thesame field in the College during the current year in the absence of Mr. Emery Filbey. Mr. Filbey has secured a leave of absence for the year in order to carry oninvestigations in the Junior EmploymentService of the Federal Department of Labor. In this connection he will inspect the workof the Junior Employment Service in various parts of the country.Reorganization of CoursesLast year the members of the Departmentof Education devoted" a great deal of timeto the organization of new courses. Thepurpose of this undertaking was to enlargethe scope of its work. Until recently manyproblems of education have been discussedin general courses. A course in publicschool administration formerly included information concerning every phase of the superintendent's work. As investigations havebeen carried forward and as accurate detailed information has been secured it hasbeen possible to organize specialized courseswhich consider in detail the various phasesof the superintendent's work. Courses arenow given on school finance, the administrative management of pupils, the teachingstaff, the curriculum, school buildings andequipment, and other problems of a similarcharacter. What has been said of coursesfor superintendents is equally true of coursesfor teachers, principals, supervisors andnormal school and college instructors ofeducation. It is believed that the organization of specific courses of this characterwill contribute largely to the thorough,effective training of students of education.University Notes(Continued from page 15)Professor Wilkins has long been activein the development of the study of Italianin this country, and has published a numberof books and articles dealing with Italianliterature.

Its walls will be paneled to a heightof twelve feet from the floor, and above thatlevel they will be finished in Bedford stone.A series of tall traceried windows will runcompletely around the room. Those at theeast and west ends of the building will beespecially rich and large, measuring sixteenfeet in width and twenty-one in height. Theroof will be timbered. The building will bea characteristic example of the English collegiate type of Gothic architecture and willbe most advantageously situated on thenorth side of the quadrangle between Haskell Museum and the Divinity Halls.This beautiful new Divinity Chapel, amemorial to Mr. Joseph Bond, who wasformerly a trustee of the Divinity Schooland a highly successful business man ofChicago, was provided for by a gift of $50,-000 in 1917, and the completed plans willbe carried out as soon as building conditionspermit.Rogers & hall CoOne of the largest and mostcomplete Print.iiur plants in theUnited States.PrinlingandAdvertising Advisers and IheCooperative andClearing Housefor Cataloguesand Publications You have a standing invitation to call and inspect ourplant and up-lo-date facilities.

A Message to AlumniFrom President Judson(Continued from page 7)building. The Club and its friends have provided $50,000 more.A very satisfactory plan has been preparedand it is hoped that at an early date the workmay proceed.These buildings are all important and interesting and will be a very distinct additionto the appearance of the quadrangles as wellas to the efficiency of the various features ofUniversity life concerned.• Two other important actions by the Boardof Trustees require attention.A plan has been made for the formation ofInstitutes which will carry on primarily research and in some cases the application ofthe results of research to the various industries. The Institutes thus far organized andfor which plans are in progress are those ofPhysics and Chemistry, of Plant Agriculture,of Mining, and of Education. There is alsoestablished an Oriental Institute. For thislast Institute, Professor Breasted, the Director, made an expedition to the Near Eastthis last winter and spring, visiting Egypt,Mesopotamia, Arabia and Syria. His reportinvolves very important information along theline of future Oriental investigation, and alsoprovided for interesting and important additions to the collections in Haskell OrientalMuseum.It is believed that the discovery of newtruths by the various University Departmentsmust be put on a distinct and permanent basisin order not to be absorbed by the imperativedemands of other University work, and it isfurther believed that it is the function of theUniversity to discover new ways of practicalapplication of the pure sciences to the industries. Further still, it is believed that theUniversity through its Institutes should properly train students for their share in the industries which rest on the application of purescience. This should be the University's contribution toward the material progress andproductiveness of the nation.A new departure has been made in theorganization of the University whereby in thevarious schools, classes, and groups of Departments, a series of Commissions has been established. Each Commission will contain representatives from the Board of Trustees, fromthe University Faculties, from the body ofalumni, and from citizens of Chicago not connected in other ways with the. University. Itis hoped and believed that in this way therewill be a closer union between all those interested in the University, and that thus theremay be better understanding on all sides andadded interest given to the vitality of almamater. It is especially desired that in thisway the alumni should be brought into closertouch with the various forms of University-activities. This is the more important becausethe articles of incorporation of the UniversityJUDSON'S MESSAGE— ATHLETICS 2 7are such that an official relation of the alumnito the institution such as is possible in otherinstitutions is practically debarred.The University enters now on its new lifeafter the great war and it is not merely aduty but a privilege to share in the newactivity that has come to the institution. Thesuccess of its new life is in a large measuredependent on the fundamental Universityspirit which on behalf of those entrusted withits administration, or on behalf of its students, or on behalf of its alumni is alwaysand for all simply the spirit of loyalty.Harry Pratt Judson.Athletics(Continued from page 16)backs now, and his passing attack isespecially crippled by the absence of thesetwo men.The conference decided, after muchwrangling, that Moffat Elton, right half,who was counted on to play for Chicago,because he had extended his academicresidence beyond four years, by going toJapan with the ball team, is ineligible. Itwas contended by Chicago that the S. A.T. C. season was not one of competition,and hence that Elton was eligible. Thispoint was at first denied, and then admitted,but the board then barred him on the otherground. Reber, center, was declaredeligible, under the S. A. T. C. rule.Football is occupying the stage rightnow, but Tom Eck has a cross-countryteam in training. The Wisconsin team defeated them in a dual meet October 30,19-36. There are some promising freshmen, but the prospects for good middledistance men for the indoor track seasonare not very good.The basketball schedule drawn up forthis winter's games: January 18, Illinoisat Urbana; January 22, Iowa at Chicago;January 25, Ohio at Columbus; January 29,Michigan at Chicago; January 31, Iowa atIowa City; February 5, Minnesota at Chicago; February 8, Northwestern at Evanston; February 19, Ohio at Chicago; February 22, Minnesota at Minneapolis; February 26, Wisconsin at Madison; March 5,Illinois at Chicago.M.

PAUL KANSAS CITYClass Costumes at Reunions(Continued from page 11)organizations, we are developing a sideshow that may swallow up the main tent.Keep the University Sing as it is; it is"great" and rapidly becoming a justifiablytraditional event. If any development isundertaken let it be away from the selectedgroup feature.With the present cost of paper I am probably asking you to rob your readers ofsomething really interesting to read, but Icannot stop without giving a cheer for thesuggestion that the "re-uning" classes weara distinctive headgear. Indeed, I am hoping that this is but the first step and thatthe growth of the idea may result in futureclasses assuming an entire garb of the "costume" variety and in staging "stunts" appropriate to the character of the costumes.The possibilities to the success of reunions which lie in this idea strike me asimmense. One of the features of life atthe University upon which many of its bestfriends have commented in various observations, is a certain lack of "color." The intellectual opportunities which the Universitypresents to its members are recognizedeverywhere. But what serious attention hasit given to the emotions of its sous anddaughters, particularly in the developmentof their loyalty and enthusiasm for the Alma Mater? Is it not just this lack whiclthe Alumni Association is endeavoring t(supply? If this is one of the objects othe association, let us examine the opportunity opened up by this headgear suggestion.One of the surest ways to awaken, or keejalive, an interest in an institution or ;periodical event is to make a man feel thasuch interest or attendance at the event insures him of thorough enjoyment. Th(shortest route to the pleasurable enjoymenof most of us is through our sense of humorMake us relax and laugh and we are on ouiway to "a good time." The "Shanty" organ'ization with its unique recalling of thememories of the fun had in that old shadwhen it was virtually the University's Commons, Reynold's Club and Gymnasiunrolled into one, and its humorous appeal tcthe younger generations, has injected raonreal fun into the spirit of the reunions thaianything yet attempted.To this same sense of frolic the class costurning should appeal. Dress us as clown:and we are much more apt to think and aclike clowns. Take from us some of the restraining dignity which the city brings altoo close to the campus and we may shak<off some of the pall of conventionality whiclseems always hovering over the "all-University" gatherings.As the turn of a class conies for reunionCOSTUMES'—ALUMNI AFFAIRSgather its members by an intensive effortin that class. Advertise the fact that thekeynote of the affair is "Boys and GirlsAgain." Then so arrange the activity ofthe class while it is on the campus that theresulting merriment and 'enjoyment convinces that the prevailing color of the University is not the grey of its college hajlsbut is indeed maroon.[Ed. Note: This article by Mr. Morris, of Washington, D. . C, is in. response to an editorial in themagazine of last June. Unfortunately it arrived toolate for the July number. We are glad to present itto alumni at this time, and especially for consideration by all class officers, in preparation for our nextreunion in June. We invite further comment.]Alumni Affairs(Continued from page 9)with this autumn. The council receivedword from Mr. Stagg that a baseball gamewith Waseda University, Japan, is proposed for our next reunion, in June. Thismatter was referred to the Athletics Committee.After general discussion of various alumniaffairs, the meeting adjourned at 11 p. m.The Alumni Fund and DirectorsThe first Alumni Fund Directors wereelected at the regular quarterly meetingof the Alumni Council, Thursday, October21, 1920. On the report presented by thespecial committee, appointed last July tomake recommendations, the following Directors were elected:For one year: Alice Greenacre and JamesS. Riley.For two years: Frank McNair, ErnestE. Quantrell, and Thomas J. Hair.For three years: Shirley Farr and HelenGunsaulus.For four years: Harold H. Swift andJames Weber Linn. Scott Brown and RuthAgar were elected as alternates.According to the Articles governing theFund, four of the nine directors are chosenfrom the Alumni Council and four from subscribers who are not members of the Council. James S. Riley, of Los Angeles,California, Ernest E. Quantrell, of NewYork City, and Helen Gunsaulus and JamesWeber Linn, of Chicago, represent the subscribers, accordingly. The chairman ofthe Alumni Council (at present Thomas J.Hair) is ex-omcio a member of the Boardfor the length of his term as Council Chairman. An effort was made, as may be noted,to have the representation on the Boardsomewhat distributed both as to men andwomen and geographically.The first meeting of the Directors washeld on Monday, November 8, 1920.

DESIGNS554 WEST ADAMS STREET • CHICAGOThe Letter Box(Continued from page 20)A Helpful Letter From HawaiiHonolulu, Hawaii, August 17, 1920.Mr. A. G. Pierrot,Secretary, The Alumni Council,The University of Chicago.My dear Mr. Pierrot:I am in receipt of your circular letter ofAugust 6th. I have delayed sending mysubscription and dues for the reason that Iwished to take the time to write you somewhat at length regarding the classificationof Hawaii in the list of Alumni Clubs andrepresentatives in The Magazine.It will probably seem a very trivial matter to you, but it looms rather large withthe people down here— that Hawaii shouldnot be classed as a foreign country nor as a"possession," but that it be listed as a territory. A slight investigation will reveal thefact, I believe, that Hawaii has practicallythe same status as Arizona or Oregon or any of the other states had when they wereterritories, except that it is non-contiguous,and, therefore, it will probably never be astate. Its status is different from that ofPorto Rico or the Philippines. I would,therefore, suggest, in case the list of Alumniclubs and representatives is again publishedin The Magazine or any other publicationof the University, that Hawaii be properlyclassified and that the abbreviation "H. I."be not used, as that is obsolete, but that theword "Hawaii" or the abbreviation "T. H."be substituted. As I recall, the Territoryof Hawaii is properly classified in theAlumni Directory in all places except at thebeginning where a list of the clubs and representatives is given, and there again thecorrect classification does not appear.I am enclosing you a newspaper clipping(one of hundreds that are published by thepapers here during the year) which willtend to illustrate how our egotism is irritated by failure to recognize that we areLETTER BOX 35as much a part of the United States as anyterritory ever was on the mainland.All of this would be of no moment, except that few students go from Hawaii tothe University, and anything that in theslightest might tend to prevent their choosing the University as their alma matershould be eliminated. I do not know exactly how many students from Hawaiiyearly go to Harvard, Yale, California, andother mainland universities, but the numberis very large in proportion to the whitepopulation. The other day the cadets fromAnnapolis arrived here on their annualcruise, and there were about ten or more ofthe midshipmen in the fleet who belongedto prominent families in Hawaii. A number from Hawaii are always at West Point,and a reference to Harvard's directory willreveal that every year there are many fromHawaii. I think for some years Harvardhas had one or more students from Hawaiion its football or baseball teams. Harvardis very popular down here and next comesYale.In this connection, that is with an effortto get some students from Hawaii in theUniversity of Chicago, I shoufd like to askif there is not a fund for supplying University clubs throughout the country withAlumni Directories and other publicationsof the University. If so, and I think thereshould be, I wish you would see that theUniversity Club of Hawaii is put on themailing list. Also, it seems to me that theclub here would be pleased to receive aChicago pennant to be placed with the otherpennants in its dining room. The UniversityClub of Hawaii has a very nice club housewith large grounds near the Capitol inHonolulu and has a membership, I judge, ofthree or four hundred. They are the mostprominent men of Hawaii, of course.The largest preparatory school is called"Oahu College" or "Punahou PreparatorySchool." Some years ago. it celebrated itsseventy-fifth anniversary. Time was whenthe youth of California came to Punahoufor its education, before California had anyschools to boast of. It yearly sends students to Harvard and Yale and California.It seems to me that it might not be beneaththe dignity of the University to endeavor tofind out why no students go from Punahouto the University of Chicago.I am enclosing my check for two dollarsto cover my annual membership dues andmagazine subscription. I do not feel able,at the present time, to subscribe for a LifeMembership, but hope to be able to do soat some time in the future. I trust you willnot be bored by this long letter and willaccept my suggestions in the spirit in whichthey are offered: "For Chicago — I Will!"Very sincerely yours,H. R. Jordan, '97. WALTER A.

By -Products andthe Price of MeatThe price live animals will bringdepends upon what the meat andby-products are worth. That inturn depends on the number ofanimals offered for sale comparedwith the quantity of meat andby-products that consumers willbay at current prices.By-products have had an importanteffect upon cattle, sheep and lamb pricesthis year.Hides went down from 43 to 24 cents;oleo oil from 28 to 13'/2 cents; the declinein wool prices was even greater.This made a difference in August1920,compared with August 1919. of over$20.00 per head in the value of live cattle,and nearly $3.00 per head in sheep andlambs.But we couldn't get more for the beefbecause by-products were low. All wecould get was the market price. We alsodid the best we could on the by-products.Consequently cattle and lambs wereworth much less to" us and had to bebought at lower prices if we were tohandle them at all.No packer, of course, can remain inbusiness long if he pays more for liveanimals than he can get for them in theirfinal form— meat and by-products.Swift & Company gets no particularbenefit from lower prices paid for liveanimals. Our profit averages no higherwhen the price of beef, by-products orcattle is on a lower plane.If the foregoing raises any question in themind of the reader, we will endeavorto answer it, upon request.Swift & Company, U.
