By H. G.Moulton. A valuable book for executives. Professor Moulton, of the University of Chicago Schoolof Commerce, who is the editor of the Weekly Business Review, analyzes for the first time the entirefinancial structure, the principles which underlieit, and its relation to various business units. Previous literature has emphasized only one aspect of thefinancial system, but in Mr. Moulton's book the executive gets a new interpretation of the entire financial structure, the interrelation of various types ofinstitutions, and the dependence of modern industrial society upon financial systems. $4.00, postpaid $4.25.The Press and Politics in Japan. By KisaburoKawabe. For those interested in sociology, journalism, politics, and the history of Japan. The purposeof this book is to show the influence of the press uponthe political life of Japan, to indicate the process bywhich a state, where only a half century ago no public opinion was considered in political affairs, hasmade remarkable progress mainly through the development of communication, as a result of the modernprinting press. The author studies politics from thesocial-psychological standpoint, and attacks the problems primarily from the side of the underlying forcesand processes instead of outward forms and structures. $2.00, postpaid $2.15.The UNIVERSITY of CHICAGO PRESS5859 Ellis Avenue Chicago, IllinoisUntoerSttp of Chicago .JllagajmeEditor and Business Manager, Adolph G.

XWithin the last six weeks letters fromalumni and students have appeared inThe Daily Maroon, andThe Athletics articles have been pub-Situation lished in the Chicago newspapers, pointing out sharplythat in recent years Maroon teams in themajor sports have been losing with ratherdiscouraging regularity. The basketballseason just closed finds Chicago at themiddle of the percentage list, whereas 1921,as based on the class of material, mightwell have witnessed Chicago as Conference champion. The fault, in general, hasbeen attributed to our system, under which,it was stated, Mr. Stagg is unfortunatelyoverworked. To make his department operate within a limited budget allowance, Mr.Stagg, carrying on under a plan begun ageneration ago, labors onward as generalathletics director, head football coach,basketball coach, etc., with such assistanceas the limitations will allow. To competeon anything like even terms with the largeuniversities that not only have considerably more material but have developed effective systems of highly specialized coaching,is quite out of the question. The remedysuggested is that of increasing the budgetof the department so as to permit of thehiring of a sufficient number of competentcoaches and thus at least obtain the maximum of coaching efficiency.All "Chicagoans" recognize that the greatname of our University can never dependon the spectacular successes of its athleticteams. Its greatness must rest, as it restsnow, on its contribution to the knowledge,the culture and the welfare of mankind, andon the men and women who go forth fromits halls imbued with the spirit of serviceand worthy achievement. But, if we are tocompete at all, it is urged, we might as wellhave the best, the most successful teamsthat upright practice will grant. The situation, very likely, will be brought officially to the attention of the University authoritiesand will receive, as sincere suggestions havealways received, fair and full consideration.One noteworthy aspect of the matter is therevealing of the widespread, intense andloyal interest in the University among thealumni. Some of the views expressed maybe at fault, but there is something far worsethan a mistaken view — and that is apathy.It would be a sad day for Chicago shouldever its alumni cease to care whetherMaroon teams win or lose.The recent announcement of the electionof James Rowland Angell to the presidencyof Yale University was fraught withAt deep interest to our alumni. ThatYale Yale, breaking through the walls ofYale tradition, should go outside ofher halls for a president was, of course, asurprise; but that Yale, having decided todo so, should offer the chair to Dr. Angellwas not a surprise to the alumni of theUniversity of Chicago. Our alumni, like ourUniversity community, know full well thathis high ideals, his broad views, his profound educational interest, his engaging,well-rounded personality, his wide experience and his unusual abilities as a practicaladministrator, mark him as a man apart.Several institutions, fairly enough, will nowrise to claim him. We hope, therefore, thatalthough- "Dean Angell," as we think ofhim, has no degrees from Chicago, we willbe pardoned if we, too, stake out a claim.He was connected with, was a vital partof, the University of Chicago for so manyyears that we have naturally come to lookupon him as a "Chicago man." For a time,also, he served as the' University's delegateon our Alumni Council, and because of hiskeen interest in our alumni affairs we havecome to regard him as an alumnus by proxy.When presidential positions at other largeuniversities were offered to him, one phasethat he always considered was that of sepa-165THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEration from his close associates and manyfriends at Chicago. It is with closest, personal interest, therefore, that we congratulate Dr. Angell on his new honor. Theheartiest best wishes to Yale and her newpresident from all of our alumni!FacultyMembers atReunionsMost of our Faculty are seldom presentat our reunions. At other institutionsfaculty members generallyappear in force at reunionsand by personal contact withtheir former students domuch to make returningalumni feel at home and to renew andstrengthen their attachment for the institution. Nobody in particular is to blame forour present custom. Our alumni officers donot extend special invitations to the entireFaculty; our Faculty, on the other hand,have naturally followed the general trendas it has developed without any definitedirection. However, no special invitationto our Faculty should be necessary; and webelieve that our professors will always beglad to greet again their many former students.Saturday afternoon, Alumni Day, shouldbe a general University holiday. Alumni donot return to Alma Mater to see buildings—they return to meet old friends, and to theirminds and hearts our professors and ourexecutives occupy a most prominent placeamong their University friends. When these are always absent there comes a feeling that somebody doesn't care, that theinstitution as a whole has somehow failedto extend a welcome in fullest measure.We've often heard this at reunions: "I'dlike to see Professor ; I wish I hadtime to call on him." What an opportunityfor a home-coming greeting is here lost! _Ayear rolls around; again this desire is disappointed. Inevitably, the steady accumulation of such disappointments results in aconclusion that with our Faculty it's a caseof "out of sight, out of mind."Alumni enjoy meeting their former instructors. Faculty members personalize auniversity to a high degree. Even a hastyreading of reports of our alumni club meetings shows how eager the alumni are tomeet and visit with the members of ourFaculty. If anything, this same eagernessreaches its highest pitch when they returnto the Quadrangles on Alumni Day. Thewriter knows, and alumni realize, that themembers of our Faculty have a sincere regard for their former students. All that islacking is the expression of that regard atthe opportune time. The opportune time isAlumni Day.- In June we celebrate our 30thanniversary. As one definite contributionto the success of the day — as one newlyestablished custom — we hope to see many ofour Faculty at the circle on Saturday afternoon, June 11th.P. S. — The Shanty will begin serving athigh noon.COLLEGE STREET— YALE UNIVERSITYThe view shows College Street, at Yale University, and, toward the left, the buildings ofthe Sheffield Scientific School at Yale. (See Views of Yale University, on pages 172-173, in thisnumber.)■'THE GRAND OLD MAN"? 167— nn— »«••— mi—Why "The Grand Old Man"? -*II?For almost thirty years it has been thegood fortune of the University of Chicagoto have at the head of its Department ofAthletics a man who has been universallyrecognized as without reproach on questions of honor, fair play, and ability. Theministry washis choice as aprofe s s i o n atthe time he entered the University as oneof its first grad-u a t e students,but, after a:onference withDr. Harper, he:hose Athleticsas a life-work,as the next bestmeans for theupbuilding andthe roundingout of strong,manly youngmen. His unusual athleticrecord at Yalefully' qualifiedhim for the position. His objective in lifefrom h i s firstcontact withboys and youngmen has beenthe making ofstrong, manlycharacterthrough the develop m e n t ofinitiative, decisiveness, quickjudgment andfair play. Hissuccess in building up these qualities Amos Alonzo Staggthein the men ofUniversity of Chicago is unqualified.Unlike most noted and successful coaches,he did not confine his attention to merelyone branch of athletics. Had he done so,the record of Chicago victories in any singlefield that he might have chosen, might possibly have been greatly increased. But victory alone, however desirable, has neverbeen the sole object of Amos Alonzo Stagg— and, be it said to the credit of the vastmajority of Chicago students and alumni,he has won and retained our admiration andloyalty on that basis. That admiration, that loyalty, have followed him through one ofthe longest and most generally successfulrecords of continuous service in all athleticshistory. Mr. Stagg was the originator ofour college yell; he initiated the custom ofthe ringing of the Alma Mater at 10:05 p. m.In many otherways, asidefrom athletics,he contributeddefi n i t e 1 y tofine Chicagospirit.Whatever ourattendance records may show,because of ourlarge graduateand graduate-p r o f e s s i onalschools, and tosome extent ofthe Quarter system, from a nathletics pointof view Chicago, for years,has been aboutthe smallestschool in theCon ference —very muchsmaller, in fact,than our leading rivals. Yet,so thoroughhas been Mr.Stagg's coaching, so powerful his sincerityand inspiration,that, while wehave had a fairnumber of defeats, we havewon victoriesagainst superior teams. And no defeat hasbeen without honor. Fielding H. Yost, ofMichigan, has frankly remarked, "Stagg isthe greatest coach in the country." Football men can recall seasons when Chicagohad just enough players to make up oneteam; for scrimmage, one side of the linehad to be played against the other; andfrequently football players were "createdon the spot," so to speak. With such limited material, Mr. Stagg had to competeagainst universities that had squads of fromforty to sixty men. But every game was at(Continued on page 187)UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEAlumni Affairs I"Ray" Schaeffer Elected Chairman of 1921ReunionAlumni will be pleased to learn that"Ray" Schaeffer — George Raymond Schaeffer, 06, to be precise — has accepted the invitation from the Alumni Council to serveas Reunion Chairman for our coming gathering in June.

Twenty-nine of the thirty-three mem-AFFAIRS 169bers were present, and as guests there weretwenty Rush alumni, who needed no coaxing to come out, for Dr. Frank Billings, ofChicago, had most generously consented tobe our speaker.Anyone who knows of Dr. Billings' greatreputation and has come in contact with hisdelightful and inspiring personality, neednot be told that our evening was a mostgratifying success.Dr. Billings came down to tell us aboutthe new medical school which is to be a partof our Alma Mater. It was a revelation tomost of us, and made everyone of us thrillwith a feeling of pride that nowhere in theworld would there be a greater school. Andthough the modesty of the speaker prevented his saying much about his own partin bringing about this triumph, we knewhow very much he had done while helpingPresident Harper, and in the years since.Dr. Billings paid Dr. Harper a most beautiful tribute both as a man and as an educator, so that those that had had the fortuneto know Dr. Harper felt anew how great hisloss had been.As our president knew that we should alllike as much time as possible with Dr. Billings, we had no business meeting, but devoted what was left of the evening to getting acquainted with our guest.We plan that ouf next meeting will be apicnic about the time school closes and before the teachers leave for the summer.With very best wishes to the AlumniCouncil and with gratitude for the help received from them, I am,Most sincerely yours,Adela C.

Alumni DinnerOn Tuesday night, March 1st, at theCity Club of Chicago, the alumni of theCollege of Commerce and Administrationheld their first alumni dinner. About forty-five were in attendance; Mr. John O. Logan,'21, president of the Commerce Club, presided. Dean Leon C. Marshall greeted thealumni. The general purpose of the gathering was to discuss a number of propositionsof interest to C. and A. alumni, the principal one being the organization of analumni association. Much interest wasshown in these matters, and a committeewas appointed to make plans for alumniorganization. The C. and A. orchestra andquartette entertained. This first gatheringwas considered a most successful one by allwho attended.Some Pittsburgh Club ActivitiesFebruary 21, 1921.Fifteen members of the Pittsburghalumni attended the smoker held by thePittsburgh alumni of the Western Conference universities on December 11, 1920. Thespeakers were Coach Yost of Michigan, Coach Wilce of Ohio State and DeanWright of the School of Economics, University of Pittsburgh. The Chicago contingent displayed an enthusiasm quite out ofproportion to its size.About twenty members attended a luncheon given in honor of Dr. Charles W. Gilkey of the Board of Trustees on February10, 1921. Dr. Gilkey gave a most interestingaccount of recent changes and developments in the University, and left his audience w'ith a renewed loyalty and a liveliersense of the greatness of the University.The Pittsburgh alumni extend to theirpresident, Dr. W.

Pierrot,Chicago.My dear Mr. Pierrot:I was very glad indeed to receive here yourletter of February 3d with valuable materials for presentation to Alumni groups.Mr. Sandall, the president of the local U. ofC. Club, numbering nearly one hundredmembers, called on me at once on my arrival, and told me of plans for a luncheonat the University Club yesterday noon.This arrangement was carried out splendidly. We had some twenty present, including Prof, and Mrs. Gorsuch, formerlyof Chicago, now of Washington State. Iam sending you the slips giving the namesand something of the records of those whowere present. I notice that some of themhave failed to put down their addresses,though I insisted they should all do so. Mr.Sandall is a loyal and enthusiastic U. of C.man. His address is Alaska Building. Isuggest correspondence with him and particularly information to him as to when anyChicago men are going to be this way andwould be willing to meet the Club. Thereis splendid material here for an active andloyal Alumni Club.I wrote to Pres. Judson regarding themeeting we had with the Alumni group inDenver. In Salt Lake City I was so pressedfor time that it was impossible to arrangefor a meeting, much to my regret. In Boise,Idaho, I met a number of our Alumni andvisited and spoke at St. Margaret's Hall, anEpiscopalian school for girls, whose principal is an enthusiastic U. of C. woman,Miss Stutzman, who has recruited most ofher faculty from the University (see inclosed leaf from their catalogue). I amsure she would be willing to suggest theproper person to act as president or secretary of a U. of C.

To my mind these tests and resultshave struck at the very heart of the causeof the general indifference college studentsare supposed to maintain toward scholastichonors. It is not at all that they object tobeing thought bright, but that they feel thestudents who make high grades and donothing more are not bright, and they hate. to be classed that low.When I was in college we privately divided the Phi Beta Kappa stratum intothree sorts: the ones who had no interestin the world but- study, the ones who weredeliberately working to win Phi Beta Kappa, and the occasional "regular human beings" who did lots of interesting things andmade Phi Beta Kappa incidentally and apparently accidentally. We had no specialrespect for the "digs," for we felt any foolcould get high grades if he spent all his timeat books. The second sort were clockwatchers who worked for effect and not forthe love of study itself; these we scornedmore enthusiastically than we did the digs.The third sort we gave all respect andhonor, but they were rare.An undergraduate who is at all sensitiveabout his social standing is not anxious tobe branded as one-sided or mentally inferior, and there is a fairly widespread opinion that the Phi Beta Kappa is likely to bequeer, I still hold the opinion. Though Iwas intensely busy about campus affairs Iwas not at all famous, so when I made PhiBeta Kappa I had a depressed sense that Iwas marked for all my next year as a dub.I considered the majority of my brothersand sisters in the Society as mentally inferior — even inferior to me, and I had no delusions about the grade of my own mind. Tthink my opinion about them was typicalof a great deal of undergraduate opinion,then and now. I confess that even now Ihaul forth my key and wear it only when Iexpect to be in a company whose standardsI feel differ from mine. When I was backat a recent reunion a contemporary of mine,an alumnus who was a brilliant and charm ing example of my "third class" of Phi BetaKappas, asked me if anybody who was anygood besides ourselves was likely to attendthe Phi Beta Kappa dinner. We consideredit, decided there probably wouldn't be, andstayed away from the dinner. I mention itnot to justify our possibly incorrect judgment but to illustrate the attitude of theaverage college folks toward the studentwho is heavy with scholastic honors. Theydo not regard him as an interesting, intelligent, worth-while person, for in too manycases he is unable to hold his own in conversation or to show any general adaptability'. On the other han9, the man or womanwho features in campus affairs usuallythereby demonstrates his cleverness and interest to his fellows.The aim of most of us, in or out of college, is to be kindly regarded by our associates, and this sensitiveness to the opinionof others is generally more acute during theage when one is in college than it is later.I think college students have for a longtime sensed what the "intelligence test" appears to prove; and it is for this reason thatolder heads find occasion to worry fromtime to time over the undergraduate ambitions in everything in the world exceptscholarship.Sincerely,Helen E.

Pierrot,Alumni Secretary,University of Chicago.My dear Mr. Pierrot:In my work here, I am getting in touchwith Eastern Alumni work. They surelyare organized and surely are aggressive.Princeton methods, more quiet than Harvard's, etc., seem especially effective. Their50 local Clubs cover the United States adequately — they miss nothing. But their personal sub-committees-of-one, for rural centers, are needed and are mighty useful.Nearly all activities are delegated to thelocal Clubs, so that personal work resultsand there is little waste of effort. I'd likevery much to have the chance to talk oversome things suggested by my recent experiences.With regards and best wishes, I am,Yours very truly,F. D. Nichols, '97.(Ed. Note.

Angell. A letter of congratulations was also sentto Dr. Angell by the Chicago Alumni Club.)Dear Dr. Angell:As Secretary of the University of Chicago Alumni Club of New York City itgives me a great deal of pleasure to extendthe congratulations of that body to you onthe announcement of your choice as president of Yale University. Your selection isparticularly gratifying to those of us whoare now in the East, on account of the factthat it cannot help but encourage a closerrelationship between the great universitiesof the East and the West.To the good wishes of the club I shouldlike to add my personal congratulations. Iam bold enough to think that even thoughwe of the West have much to learn fromEastern institutions, the education is notnecessarily all on one side. The impliedrecognition of that fact is a source of satisfaction to those of us who refuse to believethat in the United States "East is East andWest is West and never the twain shallmeet."With renewed assurance of our goodwishes, and with the hope that in your newposition you may be very happy, we are,Yours very truly,University of Chicago Alumni Club, NewYork City.Lawrence MacGregor, Secretary.A 12,000-Mile EchoNankai College,Tientsin, China, Jan. 20, 1921.The Alumni Council,University of Chicago.Dear Sir:T have just received and read the firstissue of the University of Chicago Magazine for the current year.

Witness, this from page 97 of the January, number of the University of Chicago Magazine:"Throughout the life of the old University Charles Walker was on the Board, andwhen that institution went out of existencethrough a close series of unfortunate circumstances, he continued in connectionwith the Baptist Theological College andthe Baptist Hospital, which, so to speak,were a part of the 'salvage.' "The first University of Chicago died ofdebt in 1886, past hope of reviving. Whenthe present institution was being organizedthe title of the former institution, whosecharter and corporation were still in existence, was changed to "The Old University■of Chicago" in order that the new institution which was about to cultivate its abandoned educational field might legally usethe title "The University of Chicago." Oneof the earliest acts of the first Board ofTrustees was to adopt the motherless children of the Old University by recognizingthem as alumni of the present University.This was a natural and appropriate thing todo and a benefit to both parties concerned,but it could be done only by special action.The Baptist Union Theological Seminary(not "Theological College") was an entirely(Continued on page 186)THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEViews of Other UniversitiesYale University "1IiI4LOOKING ACROSS THE YALE CAMPUSThe view above, looking across the Campus at Yale University, shows one of the manyinteresting and historic corners at that institution. Several of the beautiful old elmswhich grace the Campus are shown. To the left is Connecticut Hall, one of the olderYale buildings, of colonial interest and architecture. To the right-center, in contrast,stands Vanderbilt Hall, one of the imposing and more recent buildings at Yale. Yalewas founded in 1701. Of the statues about the Campus, the most interesting is that ofElihu Yale, and that of Nathan Hale, who went from Yale to give his life for his countryin the American Revolution. Perhaps no spot at American educational institutions holdsmore of general interest than does the Yale Campus.The institution has now some 3,500 students, and over 500 instructors. Yale's famedoes not rest solely on the prowess of her athletic teams, which for many years made"New Haven" the leader in athletic success. Since its founding, for over 200 years, Yalehas been one of the foremost contributors to educational, scientific and cultural interests. Her alumni are noted for the strength and loyalty of their organizations.OF YALE UNIVERSITY 173WREXHAM TOWER— NEW MEMORIAL QUADRANGLEThe view above shows Wrexham Tower, on the York Street side of the newMemorial Quadrangle, now rapidly nearing completion, bequeathed in memory of a sonof Yale. The Tower stands in memory of the church of St. Giles at Wrexham, inNorth Wales, where Elihu Yale, one of the benefactors of the University, lies buried.The beauty of this Gothic Quadrangle, to be used for residential purposes, is unsurpassedby the buildings of any university.The Yale views are of most timely interest in view of the recent election of formerDean James Rowland Angell as president of Yale.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE— ■■— ia~^o— —ii- »»ii^— ■i-m—ii—University Notes IKneading Bread(Enlarged picture of one figure in frontispiece.)The New Oriental Institute CollectionThe statuettes of painted limestoneshown in the frontispiece of this numberare a part of the unusually interesting collection brought to the University by Director James Henry Breasted of our OrientalInstitute, who returned a few months agofrom an archaeological survey in the NearEast.

The Winter Convocation OratorDean James Parker Hall, of the University of Chicago Law School, was the oratorat the Convocation of the University, March15, his subject being "Free Speech." UnderDean Hall's administration the Law Schoolhas had a remarkable development, theattendance for the present quarter beingalmost three hundred. It is regarded asone of the leading law schools of thecountry.Professor Hall, who is a member of theAmerican Bar Association and a directorof the American Judicature Society, is theauthor of Constitutional Law and Cases onConstitutional Law, as well as the editor ofAmerican Law and Procedure in twelve volumes.In 1918 Dean Hall was commissionedmajor judge advocate, U.

Some of the menreceiving aid from this fund would be unable to remain in the University but forits assistance. Others are relieved of thenecessity of outside work, which would interfere with their work as students, andstill others have the amount of outside workreduced by the help given.The students assisted by the Noyes fundduring the winter, 1921, come from 36 states.' Illinois has the largest number, 126. Iowais second with 29, Indiana third with 26.Kansas, Ohio, and Missouri each have morethan 12. None of the 30 remaining statesrepresented has more than 10.Of the 320 students mentioned above, 206are undergraduates, and 114 graduates.These students are distributed as followsin the various divisions of the University:Arts, Literature, and Science, 204, of whom40 are graduate students; Law, 78, of whom51 are graduate students; Medicine, 29, ofwhom 18 are graduate students; and Education, 9, of whom 5 are graduate students."The La Verne Noyes Foundation," whichhas already aided hundreds of students whoserved in the Great War, was created bythe gift of the late La Verne Noyes, ofChicago, who deeded to the University forthe purpose property valued at nearly$2,000,000. James Rowland AngellFormer Dean Angell Elected President ofYaleJames Rowland Angell, former dean ofthe Faculties of Arts, Literature and Scienceof the University, and now director of theCarnegie foundation, was chosen presidentof Yale by a unanimous vote of the Yalecorporation on February 19th. . The action of the corporation marks the first timein Yale history that a president has beenchosen from outside the walls of Yale, university. Dean Angell will succeed Dr. Arthur T. Hadley.During his career at the University ofChicago Dean Angell declined not a fewoffers of college presidencies. Dartmouthcollege, the University of Washington andthe University of Michigan have all inrecent years asked him to accept the office.Dr. Edgar J. Goodspeed, Secretary to thePresident, said recently: "Dean Angellmade a splendid record here and all hisfriends rejoice at the signal recognition accorded him. His selection was an excellentthing, for Yale, since he is an administratorof proven ability. Since his executive experience was gained here, the appointment is atribute to Chicago's position among the universities of the country."THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE+■ Prominent Alumni -iAdam M. Wyant, '95When the next Congress meets at Washington, D. C, the University of Chicagowill have a representative in attendance.Adam M. Wyant, '95, was elected to theHouse of Representatives from the 22d Congressional district ofPennsylvania last November; in his district,his popularity contrib-uated a good share of"earth and rock" to thegeneral Republican landslide of last fall. Inasmuch as he had beencaptain and center ofour 1893 Football Team,it is not surprising thatWyant, as a candidate,proved himself a goodcaptain of his politicalcampaign and was thecenter of attraction.Adam Martin Wyantwas born in WashingtonT ow n s hip, ArmstrongCounty, Pennsylvania,September 15, 1869, theson of a Pennsylvaniafarmer. After attendingthe public schools, andthen the Western Pennsylvania Classical andScientific Institute atMt. Pleasant, he went,for a time, to BucknellUniversity, Pennsylvania,, and then came tothe new University of Chicago. At Bucknell he attained prominence in athletics andcampus affairs. At Chicago, as at Bucknell,he entered enthusiastically into athleticsand student activities with success. At Chicago, Wyant was on the membership committee of the Y. M. C. A., was secretary-treasurer of the Exegitical Club, he servedon several committees, and was a memberof the football and track teams. As statedpreviously, he played center on the FootballTeam, of which he was Captain in 1893; intrack and field the shotput and hammer-throw were his events. His brother, Andrew R. Wyant, came to the University ayear or so later, and was graduated a member of the class of 1897; he is now a practicing physician in Chicago.After leaving the University, Adam Wyant did what so many men prominent inpolitical life have done — he taught at acountry school, and studied law. AfterAdam M. Wyant, '95teaching at a country school for a year, hetaught one year at the Western Pennsylvania Classical and Scientific Institute, fromwhich he had been graduated a few yearsbefore. Then, for five years, he was Super-intendent of CitySchools at Greensburgh,Pa. He made Greensburgh his home, enteredlaw practice there, andfrom that district he waselected to Congress — sothe "home folks" musthave liked him.His law practice soonflourished, and for someyears the law firm ofRobbins and Wyant hasbeen recognized as oneof the leading law firmsin that section of thestate. Wyant's law practice has brought himIL^ membership in the Ap->"■■:,:■ ■. pellate Courts of Pennsylvania and in the sev-' eral Federal courts. Mr.i Wyant, however, ex-| tended his interests andmk s activity to industrial en-HkB j terprises. He is a direc-< tor and is secretary-treas-~ urer of the followingcompanies: Unity-Connelsville Coke Co.,Oakville Coal and CokeCo., Ridge Coal Company, and Indian Head Coal and Coke Company; all of these concerns are large producers of coal and coke. Possibly thishelped Wyant to get up so much steam thathe broke the local record on riding intooffice. He is also a director of the SafeDeposit & Trust Company of Greensburgh.During the war he was Attorney for the 8thDistrict, local Board, and was active inother phases of war work.Mr. Wyant is a member of the Phi Gamma Delta college fraternity, of the Masonicfraternity, of the Americus Club, and ofother organizations. He has'taken a prominent part in a number of activities of civicand similar importance to his city, countyand state. His hobby, we understand, is"motoring" — which simply proves that ourCalifornia alumni have no monopoly on thisoutdoor sport.On December 1, 1909, at Greensburgh, he(Continued on page 185)ALUMNI 177Hugo M. Friend, '06, J. D. '08Those who wandered about our Quadrangles about twenty years ago — they wereconsiderably less "quadrangles" then thannow — may recall a certain lithe, well-built,and (it is true) good-looking freshman.He was the pleasant kind of youngster whoquickly gets acquainted, and long beforethe year was over many students knewHugo Friend. Another chap named Hugo— Bezdek, you may remember, especiallyif you've read our December number — wasnear the top of a most successful athleticcareer at Chicago; so it was but naturalthat his young friend Friend should attempt to carry on theHugo tradition of prominence in athletics. Whichhe did, and with pronounced success. LikeHugo Bezdek, too, HugoFriend was born inPrague, Bohemia (nowCzecho - Slovakia).Quelque coincidence, n'estce pas?Hugo M. Friend wasborn July 21, 1882. At acomparatively early agehe came to view theStatue of Liberty and tryhis luck in the new atmosphere. His luck wasgood — but, on the creditside, he saw to it that itwould be so. He was thekind of fellow that knowshow to fight for, how tocreate what the innocentbysitter calls "good luck."However, he came to Chicago, entered the SouthDivision High School andin 1901, was informed thathe had successfully completed the course and was entitled to adischarge with honor. Whereupon he justnaturally walked a little farther south — andthus some of the good luck became ours.Even a brief review of Hugo Friend'scollege days will certainly place him amongthe "active" group, with grade of A for"intelligence." Although he liked footballenough to play on the Freshmen, the Sophomore, and the Law School teams, trackand field was his specialty, and especiallythe broad jump. Possibly his earlier jumpacross the broad Atlantic had particularlyqualified him for this event. At all events,he was on the Track Team for four years,becoming Captain in 1905. That was theyear, incidentally, when Chicago won theConference Meet by a wide margin, andHugo set a new Conference running broadjump record of 23 feet, J4 inches, whichrecord stood for ten years. Friend was amember of the American Olympic Teamwhich won the games at Athens, Greece,Hugo M. Friend, '06, J.D. '08in 1906. Outside of athletics — Hugo was amember of the Junior and Senior Councils,Head Student Marshall in 1905, Vice-President of the 1908 Law Class, he served onvarious student committees, and was amember of Washington House and Owl andSerpent.In 1908 he was admitted to the Illinoisbar and began the practice of law in Chicago. Eight years later, in 1916, he wasappointed, by Judge Albert C. Barnes, Master in Chancery of the Superior Court ofCook County, which position he held forfour years. On September 18, 1920, he wasappointed Judge of the Circuit Court ofCook County by Governor Lowden. Thepeople of Chicago havebeen congratulating themselves on this appointment, for although a yearhas not yet passed, JudgeFriend has become agreat force in the cleaning out of crime in Chicago. Frequently, nowadays, the Chicago paperstell of some fearlessstroke just delivered byJudge Friend that makesfor safety and right livingin the commonwealth.Last October GeneralAbel Davis staged arather unusual dinner inhonor of Hugo Friend — anumber of his classmatesattended — and all the predictions of good works bythe new Judge have certainly come true. This,of course, is no surpriseto the alumni who knowHugo.Hugo Friend, afterleaving school, was bynature bound to do morethan merely practice law successfully. In1915 he was Vice-President of our ChicagoAlumni Club; in 1918 he was President ofour Law School Alumni Association. Fortwo years he was President of the YoungMen's Jewish Charities in Chicago. He is aDirector of the Maxwell Street Settlement,of the Chicago Jewish Aid Society, and ofthe Chicago- Winfield Tuberculosis Sanitarium. He is a member of the Social Service and Chicago City clubs, and of the Illinois State and American bar associations.During the war he was Chairman of theTransportation Committee, and of the 4thand 5th Liberty Loans and the Legal Advisory Committees, 14th District.On June 30, 1920, he was married to MissSadie Cohn, of Chicago.Hugo never allows the short distance norgolf, his hobby, to interfere with his attendance at our June Reunions. He says, "Ireturn at every opportunity to 'root,' and tosee Chicago grow and progress."THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEj News of the QuadranglesOne thousand one hundred and sixty-eight signed ballots were returned in acampus poll on the question of compulsorygym requirement conducted by The DailyMaroon on Friday, March 4.

The book this year is by JohnE. Joseph, '20, former managing editor ofThe Daily Maroon and now connected withthe McCutcheon-Gerson Advertising Service. "The Machinations of Max" has a Bohemian background, the setting being astudy interior in the Art Colony at Fifty-seventh Street and Stony Island Avenue,where the hero, a University graduate, hasopened a photographic studio. The playrevolves around a plot of Max, the machinations editor of The Daily Maroon.Music contests for the show have already been held, and the names of the successful composers will be announced shortly.Fifty men contributed tunes for the contest. Tryouts for the cast and chorus willbegin with the opening of the Spring Quarter, and preliminary meetings have revealedthat there will be probably two hundredmen out for the chorus and from seventy-five to one hundred for the cast.As producer for the show the Blackfriarshave secured Hamilton Coleman, producerof "The Naughty Nineties" in 1919 and fourprevious Blackfriar shows.

Inplace, that ranks the Maroons seventh, twogames behind the leaders, Purdue, MichiganHerbert ("Fritz") Crisler, Captain 1921Basketball Teamand Wisconsin, who are tied for first placewith 8 games, won and 4 lost. The seasonwas one of the wildest in many years, withupsets every week. The season's scoresshow that there were eight fairly good teamsentered, with hardly any difference in ability. The Chicago squad, on paper, certainlylooked better than any other team, but allseason the team work was poor and in somegames a listless attitude was noticeable. TheIllinois game' was the bright spot of theyear.The scores for the month: Chicago 26,Northwestern 25; Chicago 30, Ohio 31; Minnesota 24, Chicago 19; Wisconsin 25, Chicago 19; Chicago 29, Illinois- 26.Capt. Crisler, guard, and Birkhoff andVollmer, forwards, ended their competitionin the Illinois game. It can safely be saidthat these three are among the best basketball players ever turned out here. Crisler,who knew nothing of the game when hestarted out, developed into the strongestback guard in the Conference. "Fritz" had a knack of hurrying a shooter and thenpicking the rebound on missed shots, sothat there were few follow-up baskets madeagainst him. Birkhoff has been spectacular and reliable for three seasons, a speedydribbler, and a long range shot who wasalmost impossible to stop. Vollmer was a"freak" in his style of play, his favoriteposition being within a few feet of thebasket, from where he looped short throwswhile the opposition climbed over him. Vollmer fought hard for his 'tries, and his oddstyle made him particularly effective. Thisseason, when the Maroons forgot how topass, he got fewer shots, but he still was aRobert ("Bobby") Birkhoff, star forward on1921 Basketball Teamstar.

Practically all sections of thecountry were represented — from Maine toCalifornia. In harmony with expectations,the largest representation was from thenorth-central states. Although the Department of Superintendence, which was in session at Atlantic City, is of interest primarily to those who have had professionaltraining, nevertheless, a considerable number of those who attended the dinner hadspecialized in the Colleges of Arts, Literature, and Science.A reception was held in the FountainRoom between six and six-thirty which wasunusually well attended. The receptioncommittee was very active in greetingeveryone and in developing a general feeLing of good fellowship.Although President Judson had plannedto attend the dinner, official duties prevented him from doing so. General University interests were well represented onthe program of the evening by Dean Dodson of the Medical School who describedthe plans for the enlargement of the MedicalSchool and the construction of a well-equipped hospital which will be started assoon as building conditions permit.The interests of those who are engagedin educational work were emphasized in theprogram. Paul C. Stetson, Superintendentof Schools, Muskegon, Michigan, represented the superintendents, and discussedthe importance of thoroughly scientific workin public-school administration. M. C.Prunty, Principal of the High School, Tulsa,Oklahoma, represented the high-schoolprincipals, and described plans for interest ing the public in the welfare of the schools.Miss May Hill, of the Normal TrainingDepartment of the Ethical Culture School,New York City, described in most interesting terms some of the errors which are being committed by those who are advocatingthe largest amount of freedom and initiativefor school children. E. L. Hendricks, President of the Normal School, Warrensburg,Missouri, represented the Normal-school administrators, and discussed the problemswhich confront normal schools at this time.President W.

We have increasing pride inthe M'agazine, whose nine issues are includedin the Association dues, and we think thatyou would render a splendid service to theUniversity and incidentally render a serviceto yourself by becoming an active member.At any rate please let us hear from you,being free to indicate any ways in whichthe School of Education Alumni Committeecan be of service to you.The Alumni Committee,The School of Education.Alumni DayIn order to avoid the many conflicts ofconvocation week, Alumni Day of theSchool of Education will be held this yearon May 6, the closing day of the annualSpring Conference of Secondary Schools,It is the plan to invite the alumni and otherfriends of the School of Education to spendthe entire day and evening on the campus.During the forenoon the LaboratorySchools will be open for visiting and willserve as an alternate attraction to the regular programs of the Conference. In theevening there will be a dinner somewhereon the campus. The early part of the afternoon will be devoted to the regular special-subject meetings in connection with theConference. Between the closing of theafternoon conferences and the dinner departmental receptions will be held by theArt Club, the Home Economics Club, theEducation Club, and the Kindergarten-Primary Club. These meetings will afford anopportunity for groups interested in kindred fields to meet in a way that neitherthe conferences nor the dinner will supply.Entertainments by the school orchestras,dramatic clubs, and science clubs are inprospect.If you are planning to come to the Conference be sure to include Alumni Day inyour program. The evening dinner will inno way conflict with other meetings sincethe customary Friday evening meeting ofthe Conference has been discontinued. Committee on AppointmentsThe Department of Education is nowundertaking, through its committee on appointments, to serve as a clearing-house forinformation concerning vacancies and candidates for positions. The activity of thecommittee may be best illustrated by someexamples from recently gathered statistics.Approximately fifty per cent of last year'sstudents took positions in departments ofeducation of universities, colleges, or normalschools, about one-third became superintendents or principals, and the rest were distributed among several types of positions.The average salary in the university positions was the largest of any group, superintendences offered the next highest salary,principalships the next, and then followedcollege and normal-school positions.The university teachers had received thelargest amount of academic preparation,college teachers came next, superintendentsthird, and the principals and normal-schoolteachers last. The university group hadhad the least previous experience in teaching in the elementary or high school or inadministration, but had the most teachingexperience in college or normal school.Normal-school teachers had the largestamount of experience in teaching in elementary or high school and also a great dealof administrative experience. Principalshad a large amount of experience in public-school teaching and in administration.\ The New York SurveyProfessor Judd and Professor Bobbitt areto have charge of the division of supervisionand administration of the school survey ofNew York State. Under the general direction of a committee of twenty-one, madeup of representatives of various agriculturalassociations and civic organizations in thestate of New York, a fund of $75,000 hasbeen created to canvass the school situationin that state, especially in communities ofless than 4,500. The State Department ofEducation of New York has large controlover the rural districts, and the purpose ofthat division of the general survey whichhas been turned over to the Chicago Department of Education is to examine in agood deal of detail the methods prescribedby law and by the rulings of the StateBoard of Regents for the conduct of theschools of the class in question.Commonwealth Fund for EducationalInvestigationsThe Commonwealth Fund has appropriated $100,000 a year for educational investigations. The plan of organisation for theexpenditure of this fund was worked out ata conference held in November at AtlanticCity. The permanent committee which hasbeen created by the Commonwealth Fundconsists of the director of that fund, Pro-THE UNIVERSITY OFfessor Max Farrand, as chairman, and thefollowing representatives of various departments of education throughout the country:Professor Cubberley of Stanford University; Professor Paul Monroe of TeachersCollege, Columbia University; ProfessorSpaulding of Yale University; Dr. S.

This permanentcommittee had a meeting on the eighth,ninth, and tenth of January and made anumber of appropriations of investigationfunds. It will meet again in March andwill carry forward the purposes of this research committee.Types of Investigation in the Departmentof EducationAmong the studies and investigationsnow being carried on by members of theDepartment are the following:^Mr. Breed, in co-operation with Mr. E. R.Breslich, is making experimental and statistical studies to determine the basic factors...in the classification of pupils.

The subject of the firstlecture was "A Half-Century of Expansion CHICAGO MAGAZINEof American Education"; the second wasentitled "Reorganization Consequent uponExpansion."Professor Morrison recently attended ameeting of the National Civic Federation inNew York City. This meeting was preceded by a small week-end conference often — ■ business men, representatives ofschools of education, and others — called together by Mr. Elon H. Hooker, the newpresident of the National Defense Association. The conference was concerned particularly with the serious problems due tothe relative deterioration of the teachingbody in the public schools. It was broughtout that probably four-fifths of all the elementary-school teachers in the UnitedStates have less than the minimum acceptable training and preparation for their workand that not less than thirty thousandteachers, or people who assume to teach,have no more education than is implied ingraduation from an eighth, or even a lower,grade. Attention was also vigorously calledto the deplorable menace to the moralstandards of the nation conveyed in thequality of the moving pictures being shown,it is estimated, to not less than sixteen millions of people every day. The day's workended in the formulation of a statement offacts and an appeal to be made to patrioticcitizens the country over.Assistant Professor Lydia J.

Friant, Ph.B., Home Economics Supervisor of the Department ofVocational Education for Missouri, writesthat teachers are getting away from homeeconomics subjects and are teaching insteadhome making subjects. Home projects, although not required in Missouri, are increasingly common throughout the summer.Many of the young women take completecharge of the home or of the younger children, and practically all make their ownclothes and do the baking and canning forthe family. Evening school work brings inmany adults, not merely for a social timeand to make garments as formerly, butrather to learn the important principles ofselection of clothing. One teacher of vocational home economics has started a nutrition class of little children with her ownsecond-year students as teachers. Food andclothing contests held during the StateFarmers' Week at Columbia were very successful in results.'07 — Margaret Gleason, B.S., is Directorof the Department of Home Economics inthe College of Industrial Arts, Denton,Texas. She has 22 teachers and more than,800 students in the Department. Athletics(Continued from page 179)Bartke undoubtedly is the class of the 880men in the Conference, and should wineasily.

The water basketball team defeated Northwestern and Iowa,but lost to Illinois, 4-2. Blinks is living upto advance notices and is the star of theConference. Unless the preliminaries wearhim down too much in the meat, he willtake three firsts, beside swimming on therelay. Yegge looks like the probable victor in the backstroke, Gordon is certain inthe plunge, and Jenkins will place well upin the breaststroke, with Allison breakingin on the 100 or 220.W. V.

Atkins, '14, J.D. '18Although the University of Chicago debating teams were returned' league champions last year, they were unable to repeatthe performance in 1921. The reason, however, did not lie in any defeats that wereencountered; neither was it, according tothose who heard the contests, due to anyfailure of this year's teams to measure upto the standard of previous debaters produced by Coaches Atkins and Moulton. Itwas simply due to the new system inaugurated — that of a no-decision debate, followed b> a public discussion in which theaudience was invited to participate.This innovation in forensic procedure wasadopted as a result of the wide-spread, andprobably somewhat justified, criticism of theantique method of debating in which all theenergies of the participants were directedtoward one end — the judges' decision. Theold system, it was contended, made it an incentive for the debaters to turn their attention to tactics and presentation ratherthan to an open-minded and judicial consideration of some question of publicmoment. Debating for a decision, said thecritics, is diametrically opposed to an unbiased discussion on the merits of the proposition. The result was the adoption in theChicago-Northwestern-Michigan triangle ofthe no-decision plan. Out of the forty-five candidates who responded to the call of Coach Atkins, twoteams were selected, the Affirmative meeting Michigan in Mandel Hall and the Negative opposing Northwestern at Evanston."Resolved: That a Parliamentary Form ofGovernment Should be Adopted in theUnited States," was the question of bothdebates. Personnel of the teams:Affirmative — Harold Lasswell (captain),Alex Hillman, and John Ladner.Negative — Royal Montgomery (captain),Jerome Hall, and Robert Sturman.While it is always an easy matter to claimvictory when no decision is rendered, formerdebaters and students who heard the contests have since been expressing some regretthat the new rules made it impossible fora winner to be declared. The Negativeteam, debating in the hostile territory ofNorthwestern, ran into a regular barrageafter the contest; it seemed for a time thatall the Phi Beta Kappas up at Evanstonmust have primed themselves with questions to test the Chicago speakers. Thepublic discussion feature, considered in allits aspects, was declared to be a success.A pleasing feature of the debate at homewas the unusually large audience, representing the student body, alumni and students of the Chicago High Schools. Creditfor this phase of the 1921 debate is due toGeorge Mills, a former debater and now astudent in the law school, who acted as manager, and to his assistant, George Friedman.It was due to the indefatigable efforts ofManager Mills that the Chicago HighSchools were circularized and several ofthe secondary institutions, as a result, sentdelegations en masse.No account of Chicago debating wouldbe complete were mention not made ofCoach Willard E. Atkins, ('14, J. D. '18),who has been in charge of the teams forthree years. During this time, Chicago haswon more than its share of the victories,the 1919 fracas resulting in an even break,1920 seeing Chicago returned the winner,while in 1921 the no-decision system wasfollowed. Members of the teams, formerMaroon speakers and the students who havefollowed debating, unite in according creditto the coach. Mr. Atkins, who is an alumnusof the University, is now a member of the faculty of the Department of Political Economy.Mr. Hill of the College of Education, incharge of the first year men, expects to select his teams within the next month. TheChicago yearlings will oppose Illinois sometime during the Spring quarter on the question of Irish Independence. — Royal Montgomery, '21.ALUMNI 185Adam M.

When it was incorporated into theUniversity, then just opening, in October,1892, it had completed twenty-five years ofincreasingly efficient work. Becoming apart of the University, it was transferredentirely; faculty, alumni, students in course,library, and, not least, prestige. Under itsnew title of The Divinity School of TheUniversity of Chicago it continued to cultivate and to extend the field in which it hadbeen working. As for the Baptist Hospital,that was an entirely separate venture, begunin the early 90's and discontinued severalyears ago.Of course, many students in the University at the present time, perhaps the greatmajority, know nothing of these items ofhistory, but many of the alumni are conversant with them. The knowledge of someof them is evidently vague and needs to bemade definite. F. J. Gurney.Good News from Boise, IdahoSt. Margaret's Hall, Boise, Idaho.February 11, 1921.Mr. A. G.

Therehave been times, and quite recently it shouldbe added, when, if Chicago had had available merely a few of the good substitutesof the opposing team, victory would havebeen ours.As in football, so in other branches of ourathletics, Chicago has won a fair share ofvictories. Indeed, in all branches of sport,where the opposing university has been ona par with Chicago as to amount of material, we have been quite uniformly victorious. In most of these victories Coach Stagghas had the fullest share. In minor sportshis influence as general athletic director hasalso been a factor in our successes.No doubt, Mr. Stagg has made mistakes.But, in return for whatever mistakes he mayhave unintentionally made, he has given Chicago, whether we win or lose, a name in general athletics history and a position in influence for the best in athletics that is secondto none — East, West, North or South. Thatis why for years we have been singing, "Takeyour hat off to Old Man Stagg." That iswhy we shall continue singing that songwhich has in it, for Chicago men and women,a spirit of love and reverence. That is whyhe is "The Grand Old "Man" — our "GrandOld Man."

Allen, ex-'ll, of the CommonPleas Court of Cuyahoga County, (Cleveland), Ohio, and Judge Hugo M. Friend,Ph. B. '06, J. D. '08, Judge of the CircuitCourt of Cook County, Illinois. PresidentNorman H. Pritchard so declared in opening the meeting, at which forty-two werepresent.Judge Allen in her talk stated that sheattended the University of Chicago in 1909and 1910, going then to New York to accepta position and securing her law degree there.She had courses here under ProfessorsHall, Mechem and Bigelow, of the presentfaculty, and considers that her work hereis the real foundation of her legal career.She was elected to the bench last fall, andhas sat thus far in the Criminal Court,where she has already tried two first degreemurder cases, and has three others pending. Judge Allen left the impression thatshe is a woman of sound legal learning,with a becoming sense of the dignity andresponsibilities o7 her position, but humanand feminine in her sympathies.Judge Friend is the first of our graduatesto ascend the bench in Cook County. Inhis speech he told of his experience, firstin hearing law cases, then in the JuvenileCourt, and now in the Criminal Court. Heconsiders the Juvenile Court work highlyconstructive and believes it is accomplishingwhat it is there to do. The appalling factor,he says, of the Criminal Court work is thatthe culprits almost invariably are boys fromeighteen to twenty-one or twenty-two. Oneof twenty-five is considered old, and it israre indeed that a man of thirty comesoefore him. Although a large number ofnew judges have been assigned to the Criminal Court, and have disposed of hundredsof cases, the jail is still about as full aswhen they started. The cause is impossible to determine. Judge Friend thinksthat a large factor is the mere sense ofromance in the youths who go out preparedfor the worst possible crimes with nostronger motive than that of adventure. Hesuggests that the Association devote somesessions to a study of this situation.Present:Norman H. Pritchard, President; AliceGreenacre; Esther H. Jaffee; Arnold R.Baar; Paul O'Donnell; Channing L.

When the care of keeping up academic standards begin to weigh too heavily,I forget them all in good talks with Maryand Dana and in enjoyment of Dana, Jr.,and little John Adams Atchley. I feel realproprietorship in the children, for they, ifany, with both parents Elevenites, belong toThe Class. Dana is doing splendid teachingand research work at Hopkins. Then thereis Helen Wescott (Mrs. Clarence) Barbre,'16. I for one am glad that she took Domestic Science, for scarcely a week goes bythat I don't dash in from the college, about11:30 or so, and say, "Buddy, have you gotanything good to eat today?" and out willcome a piece of luscious cake or somecookies, and ye old pedagogue will forgether years and her swarms of students. Thenthere are mv colleagues Goucher. There isAlice Braunlich, A.B. 1908, Ph.D. 1913, whodoesn't hold it against me that she remembers me as a freshman and who is a verygood friend. There are also many otherswho have done work at Chicago. There isMiss Lonn, who has all three degrees fromChicago and who teaches History and Political Science and works for the Americanization of the Baltimore immigrants. Thereis Miss Hopkins, a Chicago Ph.D., head ofthe English Department, and a good one,too; Miss Pellet, a U. of C.

Without giving many figures, we think it is onlytoo evident that with the dollar averagingat between 12 and 17 francs, and with thebest boarding houses in the University section of Paris charging 22 francs a day, it isnot difficult to see that living in France isvery much cheaper than in New York City.It should be added that life at provincialuniversities is cheaper by at least one-thirdthan life in Paris.As for Americans not being well treated,we can testify to the fact that the contraryis the truth. The French authorities aredoing their utmost to make us comfortableand happy both at the University and socially, and they are succeeding beyond allexpectation. We hope that ,the Americanpublic will pay no heed to the insidiousarticles published in some American newspapers, or to rumors set afloat in Universitycircles, and that this testimony from American students in France will go a long wayto dispel those false reports.The signatures to this letter might easilybe increased in number to three or fourhundred, but suffice it to say that feelingexpressed above is that of the Americanstudent body in general in France.Very truly yours.(This letter was signed by eighteen students whose bachelor's degrees had beenobtained at Columbia, Harvard, Yale, M.

I am sorry that wefailed to get the names of the group there,but Mr. Calhoun is enthusiastic in his devotion to the University and is the presidentof the Club. Another man whom I remember is Mr. Chas. E. Brown, a life insuranceman in the Hutton Building.All these groups emphasize strongly andrepeatedly the need of closer relationshipsbetween the University and themselves inthe way of information as to men from theUniversity who are passing through andcould meet the local group and bring stimulating information regarding the University. It was the complaint here in Seattlethat Prof. Starr, Prof. Blanchard and othersof the faculty had been in Seattle within thepast year, but the Club learned of their visitafter they had gone, or too late to avail oftheir presence.I have just received a wire this morningfrom Los Angeles, asking for a day therefor their annual banquet, which I shall arrange.

Meat— then and nowTHE meat peddler of the old days,who killed his own live stock andthen sold the meat from the tail of acart, is gone from our larger towns andcities. He was a pioneer and did goodservice but he couldn't keep up with hisjob. Crude methods had to give way tonew ideas in sanitation and distribution.Concentration of population drove thepeddler and his wagon out and broughtthe modern packing industry and theneighborhood retailer in his place.And the modern packing businessmeans this:That near the farms and ranches, thecenters of live stock production, arepacking plants that assemble and manufacture the meat products you use.That swift and sanitary refrigeratorcars carry your meat from these packingplants to every part of the country.Dealers in towns and villages aresupplied directly and regularly fromthese refrigerator cars.And in cities the refrigerator car isunloaded into branch houses, chilledand sanitary, from which deliveries aremade to your meat shop. And all thetime the meat is kept so chilled thatdeterioration is prevented.Swift & Company's plants andbranches are co-ordinated, interchanging supply and supporting each other,when necessary, so that no section ofthe country may ever lack its daily meat.Swift & Company,u. s.
