MARCH, 1922 No.On other pages in this number will befound some very interesting excerpts fromthe President's Report forThe President's the year 1920-1921, justReport recently published. It isnow the custom to distribute bound copies of such reports to ourclub secretaries and to other alumni officers.Indeed, it would be highly desirable if theReport could be distributed to all of thealumni, but the size of the volume, covering almost 200 pages, and the thousands ofcopies that would be required, make sucha costly plan rather impracticable. It wouldbe unfortunate, however, if some of the discussions contained in this year's report werenot in some way brought to the attentionof all our readers. Usually pertinent statistics and other matter contained in theseannual reports are presented through brief,unrelated paragraphs in the UniversityNotes. But this year, because the President'sstatement and the report of several deanstouch upon matters that are frequently discussed by our alumni everywhere, we aredevoting a large share of the pages of thisnumber to presenting that Report moreeffectively.What is the value of a college education?What is the attitude of the University toward the College? How should the workof students be graded? How about thesocial activities at the LTniversity? Theseand similar problems of administration andpolicy are discussed in the excerpts hereinpresented. We urge our alumni to readthese excerpts completely and carefully. Weagain suggest, as in the last number, that ifyou have any opinion to express or suggestions to make on the questions touched upon or on others, you write to your formerdean. Dean David A. Robertson has particularly requested responses and discussionfrom alumni on matters affecting the College. If you disagree — say so, and why. Ifyou agree — tell why. If you realized howeager your former deans really are to havethe opinions of their alumni you would, weare sure, not hesitate to write out and mailthem your comment. It would be a definiteservice to the University.At all events — a number of the importantsections of this year's Report are now inyour hands. Consider them thoughtfully.* * *The success of a general Reunion in Juneoften depends much on the efforts put forthby those classes which areSpecial Class observing special classReunions anniversaries. This yearwe are particularly fortunate in that some of our strongest classeswill be able to celebrate significant milestones in their progress. '97, which contains a large number of our leading andactive alumni — some of whom, in fact,originated the reconstruction of the Shanty— will celebrate with due and proper ceremony its 25th anniversary. '02, which willbe the second class to be initiated into theShanty group, will properly observe its20th anniversary. '07 is by no means overlooking the fact that June, 1922, will witnessits 15th anniversary. You will be interestedto learn that as early as February the officers and committees of these three classesbegan arrangements for their class gatherings in June. 1912, observing its 10th,and 1917, observing its 5th anniversary.have always had strong Reunion representa-165THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEtions anyhow — but they promise to outdothemselves on these special occasions. Allthis activity promises great things for nextJune. This does not mean that the otherclasses should "stay away" — on the contrary, let them extend every effort to makestrong showings, and thus, in a manner,force the special classes to the limit to provetheir class spirit and loyalty. Competitionis the life of Reunions as well as of business. The challenge is now abroad — it's upto the classes to accept it, and make good!* * *During the last two months there hasbeen wide discussion about professionalismin college athletics. WhilePro and Con this subject has long beenone for occasional comment and dispute, it was brought to widestnotice recently because a group of footballplayers from Illinois and Notre Dame wereinduced to play in a post-college seasonfootball game between two rival towns incentral Illinois. The players disclaimedhaving received any money for servicesrendered, stating that they understood thisgame to be for the benefit of the AmericanLegion. All of them, however — some eightor nine from each institution — werepromptly disqualified, upon "exposure," bythe athletic boards at each University. Theywere barred not because of professionalism,which was not really proved, but becausetheir appearance in the game violated a conference rule which states that no studentin the Western Conference may competeboth for his college and for an outside organization.The discussion that resulted, nevertheless,immediately broadened to include the question as to whether college athletes shouldbe allowed to "earn their way" throughcollege by playing on professional teamsand at the same time be allowed to playon the college teams. The advocates ofsuch permission referred particularly toplaying summer baseball, but there weresome who went a step further and includedfootball and basketball, games which havemore recently come into professional play.In other words, an athlete should be allowed,as opportunity might offer, to perform hereas a professional and there as an amateur.In our view, whether or not such practicewould be limited to baseball or extendedto other games as well for which a box-ofiiee demand develops, if such an attitude isonce adopted — which means encouraged —the financial pressure on college athletes will soon become so great that the word"amateur" will mean absolutely nothing;there simply will be no amateurs — most all,in some way or another, will be professionals.Aside from the high moral purpose andsound value of always keeping before theyouth of America the true sportsmanshipstandards of amateur athletics — sportswherein the game itself and all it can teachhigh-minded young men is the ideal — theresult of allowing college players to "cashin" on their abilities from time to timewould be obviously, to minimize the importance and very meaning of a college team tothem; and college athletics, now a realstandard in sportsmanship, would rapidlydecline to mere side-issues in athletics. Itis impossible to elaborate here the manyinjurious ways in which this would workout.The mere fact that, from time to time,some individual athlete in some institutionbreaks the rule does not prove that, assome claim, many college athletes are, "onthe quiet," professionals anyhow. You cannot prove a whole community corruptmerely because a few of its citizens are injail. The outstanding fact today is thatcollege athletes, in the mass, are not professionals, and that college athletics, in themain, is the one great and successful formof amateur athletics in America.This whole discussion has taken somestrange turns. Some "critics" have accusedcolleges and universities of not offering aneducation to professional athletes. That isnot true. Anybody, including a professionalathlete — provided he has the entrance requirements — can get a college education atany college or university. The only thinghe can not do — having committed himselfto professional as against amateur sports —is to represent the college on its athleticteams. Jim Thorpe, for instance, is justas free and as welcome to advance his education at the University of Chicago as isanyone else — but Jim Thorpe, however greatan athlete he may be, can not represent Chicago on her teams.It is fairly certain that in the large bodyof alumni of every university and collegethere will be found some differing opinionson this whole question. We believe, however, that if a complete vote were takenfrom all alumni and alumnae of all colleges and universities throughout the country, that vote would he overwhelmingly infavor of keeping college athletics amateurthrough and through.AFFAIRS 167ALUMNISCHOOL OF EDUCATIONREUNION AND DINNERDuring Spring Conference of Secondary SchoolsFRIDAY, MAY 12, 1922IDA NOYES HALLTwo Presidents Address Central Ohio ClubThe University of Chicago Alumni Clubof Central Ohio held its annual dinner onJanuary 20th at Columbus, Ohio. Therewere fifty people at the dinner, which washeld in honor of President Judson. President Thompson of Ohio State LTniversitywas present and spoke for Ohio State University. Not a few of the alumni of thissection are connected with Ohio State University, Dennison University and OhioWesleyan University.The keynote of the meeting was struckby President Judson's talk, which was a mostfriendly and intimate sort of a talk. Everything looks favorable for a strong alumniclub in this section. Though there werefewer people at the dinner this year thanlast, there were more graduates present.Many of the people last year were scientificmen who came to hear Dr. Millikan andwho were not Chicago people. A new list —more complete than ever before — is beingprepared of all the Chicago people in theregion.Officers for the ensuing year are:President, Edgar Holmes McNeal, A. B.'97, Ph. D.'02.Vice-president, Vivien Ullmer Willard (Mrs.C. J.), A. B. '17.Secretary-treasurer, Roderick Peattie,S. B.

Theinvasion, however, was at the earnest solici- Lawrence J. MacGregor, '16Much of the success of our New York AlumniClub has been due to the loyal, personal effortsof Lawrence J. MacGregor, '16, who has served asthe Club's secretary for the past two years. MacGregor, now with Halsey, Stuart & Co., was Assistant Alumni Secretary for the year after hisgraduation.tation of the University of Chicago Club ofPeoria, which was addressed at a dinner atthe University Club by the invader. Mr.Stagg told the club that he was not a speakerand that he was somewhat embarrassed bythe presence of so many ladies, but that wasa mere expression of his modesty, as hisaddress and its reception by the ladies amplyproved. He told us about the organizationof foot-ball teams and how various biggames played by Chicago were won and lost.His address was altogether pleasing andcharming, and some fifty members of theUniversity of Chicago Club will bear witness that as an after-dinner speaker the "OldMan" is a success.The speech of Mr. Stagg at the University Club was his fourth in Peoria for thatday. He started out at 9:30 by a talk tothe students of Peoria High School, then ata noonday luncheon he addressed the Optimist Club on the subject of physical education of boys and girls making for bettermen and women. At 2:30 he addressed thestudents of Bradley Polytechnic Institute.In all, he spoke to about eighteen hundredpeople. Peoria had a great day, and, to useMr. Stagg's own words, he established a new-record by making four speeches in one day.After the address, a business meeting wasTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEheld by the LTniversity of Chicago Club andthe question of the limited seating capacityof Stagg Field at the University was takenup. Many of the members expressed theirdisappointment at being unable to obtainseats for the big games at Chicago.A resolution was passed by the club requesting that the management of the LTniversity be reauested to start a movementlooking toward the erection of a new stadium at Chicago. Mr. George MacClymentwas instructed to send a copy of the resolutions and a letter to President Judson of theUniversity and also to the University ofChicago Alumni Council. Mr. Stowe,editor of the Peoria Transcript, and analumnus of the LTniversity of Chicago, offered a resolution, which was unanimouslycarried, asking that someone at the University be requested to see to it that thepress will be able to get pictures of Mr.A. A. Stagg for publication in the futurewhen he goes forth to make his addresses.The dinner given in honor of Mr. Staggat Peoria was one of the most enjoyablethat the Club has ever had, and the entireclub feels grateful to the Chicago AlumniCouncil for using its influence toward having the "Old Man" pay us a visit.Charles C. Dickman, '19,Secretary of the LTniversity ofChicago Club of Peoria, 111.Dr. Judd and President Barrows AddressNorthern California ClubSan Francisco, Jan. 28, 1922.Alumni Office,University of Chicago.Fifty-six graduates and their friends attended a meeting at the Stewart Hotel inSan Francisco on the 25th of January, givenin honor of Professor Charles H. Judd, whojourneyed from southern California on purpose to speak to us that evening. Dr. DavidP. Barrows, '97, president of the Universityof California, was also present. The meeting opened with the singing of the AlmaMater and under the able chairmanship ofPaul K. Judson, '08, retiring president, avery successful meeting was held.Dr. Barrows was the first speaker, and inthe course of his tributes to the Universityof Chicago he commented upon the factthat never before in history, and doubtlessnever again, would there be such a combination of opportunity, business sagacity andscholarship which resulted in the Universityof Chicago coming into its full being almostover night, as compared with the long evolution and development of the old institutions. With the large city of Chicago andthe background of the Mississippi Valleyto draw from, with the marvelous leadershipof Dr. Harper, joined with the businesssagacity of Mr. Rockefeller, a result was achieved in an incredibly short time which isthe educational wonder of the ages.Prof. Judd talked most entertainingly onthe plans for the physical development atthe university and of the recently developedinstitute plan of expansion.He turned back the leaf of time for theold graduates present and appeared to takethem by their hands and conduct them onceagain over the old campus, recalling thenames of the old buildings and stating whatnew ones had been put in their place andoutlined not only the physical characteristicsof the new buildings and properties but thegeneral plan that they occupied in the educational scheme. All present voted themeeting an unqualified success, the generalfeeling being that no more delightful evening had been spent by those present for agreat many years.Officers for the ensuing year were electedas follows:President, Jonathan E. Webb, '00, 2517Derby street, Berkeley, Calif.Vice-president, Wm. H. Bryan, '04, 414Kohl building, San Francisco.Secretary and treasurer, Tracy W. Simpson, '09.Yours very truly,Tracy W.

Hebrought us a most interesting account ofthe University as it is today and as it willbe in the next few years.We were delighted to have with us alsoDr. Bobbitt, who comes to Los Angeles byinvitation of our Board of Education to assist in the remaking of our curriculum.Dan Ferguson gave us a real treat whenhe persuaded Robert Lippett to play for us.Mr. Ferguson brought a grand piano alongin his vest pocket and Air. Lippett charmedus with his music.The success of our Chicago Club duringthe past year has been due largely to theuntiring work of Dr. and Mrs. Speik. They,however, felt that they could no longerserve as officers. The election resulted intin- choice of the following officers:1 'resident, Dr. A. II.

We have about 100 alumnaeand former students on our mailing list, butshould this notice come to the attention of any others in Cleveland or the suburbs, weshould be very glad to add them.Our most successful meeting so far wasthe January meeting, in charge of NellHenry and Lois Olson. "Cleveland as itseems to a Chicagoan," was the topic of themeeting, and Mildred Chadsey, editor of theCleveland Yearbook, the principal speaker.Following her very interesting analysis ofCleveland's composition", traditions and conventions, and the opportunities for professional women here, all of the adopted daughters of "the fifth city" gave their impressions.It came out that we are all homesick forEls and I. C. trains, but otherwise are prettyhappy in work and play. One geographyteacher wTas so rash as to venture theopinion that Cleveland has nicer beachridges than Chicago!For the sake of variety, we let the native,dyed-in-the-wool Clevelanders retaliate withtheir impressions of Chicago, the city. Wehad announced Lois Olson as the newestresident to conclude the symposium, butwere delighted to have with us a really newClevelander — AlRe Lee Loweth, who hadbeen here only ten days.The March meeting (March 11) is incharge of Ada Huelster and Mary Irwin.Dr. E.

Both the secretary and president of theclub were temporarily out of commission onaccount of flu during the early part of themonth, but the situation was saved by theaction of Prof. Sage, the ex-secretary. Hegot out the notices, and we had nineteen enthusiastic members of the club.We had all sorts of reminiscences. Twoof our members had lived in an apartmentacross the hall from Prof. Starr during theirstay in Chicago, and they recounted storiesof glimpses through the door of the Starrapartment, with books arranged around thefloor, an array in disarray. And there werehints that he could find his way to a restaurant, order his meal, return, unlock his doorand enter the apartment without making anybreak in his reading.Prof. Starr brought us a greeting fromvery many of the Chicago clubs in thiscountry and in other countries, especiallyJapan. We were duly entertained and instructed by the efficient and timely arrangement of meetings wherever members of thefaculty are traveling, or wherever there is apossibility of bringing to the widely scattered children a word of greeting fromhome.

The total number of different students throughout the year was 11,385as against 10,880 in the year 1919-20. Thelargest attendance in any one quarter wasin the Autumn of 1920, 5,985. The totalnumber of graduate students throughoutthe year was 3,659, of whom 2,679 were inthe Graduate School of Arts, Literature, andScience, and 980 in the other schools of theUniversity.On the Graduate SchoolsSome ardent advocates of the GraduateSchools are inclined to lament that theUniversity has also a large College. On theother hand, influential college alumni oftencomplain that the Colleges are submergedin the large University. Of course in aninstitution in which the college existedfirst, and on which a graduate school hasbeen grafted, the college idea may remaindominant. In the University of Chicago,however, the College and Graduate Schoolbegan simultaneously. It has been our experience on the whole that the presence ofthe Graduate School has had a reflex influence on the College which is decidedlybeneficial. The larger ideas which characterize the Graduate School cannot fail, tosome extent at least, to affect the Collegestudents. Perhaps also the important statusof the Graduate Schools and the presence ofa large body of undergraduate students tendin some degree to restrain an undue exuberance in College students. They realize thatthe College Senior class is not "the last wordin education. Attention is invited on thissubject to the discussion of the Colleges andGraduate Schools in the report of the Deanof the Colleges of Arts, Literature, andScience.On Economy of TimeIn reports of previous years attentionhas been called to the considerable wastagein educational organization involved by thelack of adjustment as between the elementary school and the secondary school on the one hand, and as between the secondary.school and the college on the other hand.'This lack of adjustment causes needlessduplication in curricula, unduly delays students in their educational progress, andmaterially dampens the spirit and the energyof students as they pass on from year toyear. The entire course of study shouldbe a progressive whole, each student passingfrom one stage to that which is logically thenext higher, and which unfolds new knowledge and interest. Such an adjustment requires the utmost educational skill in thosewho construct and those who administercurricula. The lack of co-ordination allalong the line has resulted in a situationwhich is contrary to all sound educationalprinciples. The college plans are made byone set of educational authorities, secondary-school plans by another, and the elementary-school plans often by one still different.The result is obvious.In the Laboratory Schools of the University of Chicago for some years past experiments have been tried along the lineof a concerted rearrangement of these matters. The usual curriculum involves eightgrades in the elementary school, four inthe high school, and four years in a college course. It is perfectly well knownthat in all colleges a considerable part ofthe first two years' work is essentially ofsecondary-school character, and conductedby methods appropriate to secondaryschools. It is also well known that in thesecondary school there is a lack of definitesequence in curricula and that the eightgrades in the elementary school are undulyprotracted.Several years ago a beginning was madein the Laboratory Schools of the University of Chicago by rearranging the workof the Elementary School in seven grades.Those who passed through these gradeswere admitted to the High School and foundin every respect capable of doing high-school work.The next step recently taken has beento transfer the existing seventh grade ofthe Elementary School directly to the HighSchool. The work of that grade is essentially of secondary-school character. Thisestablished a high school of five grades.It has been found that selected studentsin the fifth grade of the High School, inother words in the eleventh grade, are entirely capable of doing work of collegecharacter in certain subjects. This workhas been adequately tested by the collegeTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEauthorities and advanced credit is given forsuch work on entrance to college. This,to that extent, shortens the entire curriculum for those students.Meanwhile the Romance Department hasvery wisely transferred the elementary workin French and Spanish to the UniversityHigh School where it belongs. Studentswho do this work have again been able toshorten the entire college course.The foregoing arrangements are not theoretical. They have been carefully tested inpractice and all have been found to workwith entire success. It is believed that further steps in the line of co-ordination ofcurricula and the saving of needless duplications will be taken in the near future.On GradesAttention is called to the report of tneSuperintendent of the Laboratory Schoolswith reference to a new administrativetechnique. It is based "upon the principlethat pupils must attain mastery upon alltheir school work and not a putative percentage of mastery." It does seem ratherabsurd that a student should be regarded assatisfactory if he knows 50 or 60 or even 80per cent of what he ought to know. Whenit comes to a test of actual transactions inlife the architect would not be regardedas successful if he draws up a plan which is75 per cent satisfactory, or an artist if hepaints a portrait which is 70 per cent good.It is the belief of the administrators of theHigh School that more exact methods mayproperly be used in the directing of youngmen and women. The experiment will becarried on until a thorough test has beenmade.Harry Pratt Judson,President.Concerning Doctors' DissertationsThe most pressing problem in the Graduate School of Arts and Literature concernsthe publication of Doctors' dissertations.There has scarcely been a matter uponwhich the members of the Faculty have beenfrom the beginning more nearly unanimousthan upon the importance of observing ouroriginal rule. The reasons for this judgment need not be rehearsed. In themselvesthey are as cogent as ever. On the otherhand, the cost of printing has increased soinordinately that it creates an entirely new-ratio between the desirability and the practicability of publication. The total expenseof higher education is at best in discouraging disproportion to the probable financialreturns from a scholarly occupation. Thecost of printing a Doctor's dissertation ofaverage volume, .added to the outlays forprevious training, has now become soburdensome that in many cases it is prohibitive. Not as a motive which should affectour action, but as an item of evidence as to the workings of the facts, it may bestated that during the past year cases havefor the first time come to my knowledge ofstudents who were at the point of migrationfor the sole reason that another universitywould confer the Doctor's degree withoutrequiring publication of the dissertation.From the opening of the University nomember of the Faculty has urged the publication requirement more consistently thanI. No one will be more reluctant than I toalter that position. In view, however, ofthe change in proportion between thescholastic value and the money cost ofpublication, I am forced to the conclusionthat our requirement is no longer just andwise. I recommend that the Faculty beasked to consider a change of the presentrule to this effect, viz.: the publication requirement is absolved by deposit in theLibrary of one fair, type-written, boundcopy of the complete dissertation, in addition to 100 printed copies of such chapter,section, abstract, or digest of the same asmay be accepted by the Department andthe Dean, the total cost of which shall notexceed fifty dollars.Albion W. Small, Dean,The Graduate School of Artsand Literature.On Social Service Administration SchoolThe year 1920-21 is the first year of thelife of this school. It was established byvote of the Board of Trustees as a graduateprofessional school. By executive order, itadministers the curricula of undergraduatesand unclassified students who wish to prepare for Avork in the field of social serviceadministration.The Graduate School of Social ServiceAdministration is the successor to the Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy andto the Philanthropic Service Division of theSchool of Commerce and Administration ofthe University of Chicago. The ChicagoSchool of Civics and Philanthropy, originallya series of courses under the Extension Department of the University of Chicago, wrasknown as the Chicago Institute of SocialScience from 190:) to 1908, when it was incorporated in Alay, 1908, as the ChicagoSchool of Civics and Philanthropy. It wasmaintained as an independent professionalschool from 1908 to 1920. The Philanthropic Service Division of the School ofCommerce and Administration for ten yearsconducted such work as the University ofChicago. The Graduate School of SocialService Administration was organized in1920 to serve the common purposes and tocombine the resources of these hitherto separate training courses.The school is building up its program onthe assumption of the fundamental importance of good foundational work in thesocial sciences. It is taking the positionthat a well-trained worker in the field ofTHE PRESIDENT'S ANNUAL REPORT 173social service must have an appreciation ofat least four fields: (1) the human being,considered genetically, physically, and psychologically; (2) the social group considered both genetically and in terms of present anatomy and physiology; (3) theoriesor hypotheses of social progress; (4) technical or professional fields, which would include, for example, administrative work,remedial work, investigational work. Everycandidate for a higher degree will be expected to have secured training, either asan undergraduate or as a graduate student,in all of these four fields.L. C. Marshall, Dean.The CollegeThe general function of the Colleges ofArts, Literature, and Science is to providetraining for efficiency in labor for one's selfand for society, and for the enjoyment ofleisure by one's self and in society.Efficiency in labor for one's self, including, of course, one's family and dependents,is ordinarily developed for the purpose ofsecuring the largest and easiest pecuniaryreward for efforts. The self-interest whichdominates such a purpose of the matureworker can be engaged as a powerful motive in the pursuit of college studies. It is,in fact, the force which impels the studentin vocational courses. In professionalschools this is immediately obvious; in pre-medical, pre-legal, and other courses withinthe colleges and leading directly into theprofessions, it is equally obvious. Evencourses which are not contributions to atechnical skill in making a living may appealto selfish interest in success; the development and establishment of health habitsthrough medical examinations, physical culture, and athletics; the mastery of physicalenvironment through the earth sciences andothers; the understanding and even controlof social environment through psychology,sociology', and other social sciences; theself-mastery which comes through the discipline and enlightenment of any of the sciences, languages and literatures, history andits allied fields, and philosophy. In the firstplace, then, the college should, through itswealth of courses, so enlighten a student asto enable him to discover and develop hisaptitude and so discipline his mind aspromptly to make him an effective workerfor himself and his family.In determining on careers, a gratifyingnumber of young Americans, as manystudies of college graduates have shown,have considered not only how to make aliving, but how to be of service to society.The outlet of a man's social aspirations maybe his own profession — as it is in the ministry and teaching and increasingly so inmedicine and law — or it may be in hisactivities outside of office hours. Alumnihave expressed regret that in college theyhad not had at least a course or two such as would have enabled them to dischargewith greater satisfaction to themselves theirvoluntarily assumed duties as members of aschool board, teachers of boys' Sunday-school classes, or members of boards ofcharities. Inevitable for most men andwomen are the obligations of family life andof citizenship. The college directly contributes to efficiency in endeavor for society.The normal person has leisure and needstraining for the enjoyment of it. Evenchildren, indefatigable at play, need direction in recreation. Recent economic changeshave revealed pathetic inability among newly affluent adults to take advantage of leisure. The concept of leisure which includesonly the consumption of quantities of foodand drink, or conspicuous expenditure onpersonal adornment, bridge, motors, anddances is unworthy any sane man — but especially any college graduate. This is nota protest against dancing — for there arethose who, if they had learned the ordinarycourtesies as well as the usual grace ofmovement acquired in dancing, might bemore attractive and even useful membersof society — or against bridge or motors orother things. It is a protest against theleisure which includes them only. A man'senjoyment of his morning paper can begreatly increased by that knowledge of political economy and politics which enableshim to place the announcements of themorning in relation to history, by thatfamiliarity with geology and geographywhich gives significance to a boundary dispute in Europe or a sphere of influence inChina, by that training in the history of artwhich enriches a mention of a Mantegnarestored to Belgium, by that acquaintancewith literature which stirs the warm appreciation of the meaning of a Dante sexcentenary. Enrichment of leisure hours inItaly, China, Yellowstone Park, on FifthAvenue, or in one's own back yard in Chicago can be assured by the very content ofcourses in history, literature, geology,geography, botany and zoology. To thecollege man who travels at home or abroad,the world is wonderful; to the untrainedman even the most ' glorious places arc asdull as the ports of the East were to Newman's sailor The college, then, trains for efficiency inlabor for one's self and for society' and forenjoyment of leisure by one's self and insociety. And college courses — the social sciences, languages and literatures, science andphilosophy — should afford the enlightenment and the discipline for such effectiveand rich living.The College and the Graduate SchoolIs it desirable that the college with sucha general function exist in a university withprofessional and graduate schools? Is itgood for the college? Is it good for thegraduate school0THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEThe spirit of the professional school is anearnest preparation for a vocation — an intense pursuit of the first mentioned aim ofthe college. But today no professionalschool in a university has that purposemerely. The number of University of Chicago students of medicine who also takethe doctorate of philosophy proves this.The spirit of the graduate schools of arts,literature, and science apparently affects theprofessional schools. What is this spirit?In research the problem counts, not theman; not the scientist but science. Comfort,convenience, even health, will be sacrificedby the searcher if thereby he can increaseknowledge. Graduate students consequentlyhave intellectual freedom, responsibility andinitiative, and are expected to acquire thephilosophical spirit, the tradition of learningas well as specialization. It is a hard doctrine, this seeming carelessness of the student and emphasis on the subject. But it isa challenge to the strong student.The earnest spirit of the graduate schoolinfects college students and brings about asomewhat earlier determination of interestin some one field. The result is an earliertermination of the period of mere lesson-getting, of unthinking acceptance of coursesjust like a boy's acceptance of his heredityand environment. As soon as differentiationtakes place — usually in the LTniversity ofChicago about the middle of the secondyear — the student becomes a LTniversityman. This great gain in time in the determination of individual curricula is largelydue to the presence of a large body of serious professional and graduate students.Another gain for the college in a universityis the great number and variety of departments and courses. The result is a greatlyenriched curriculum for each college student. This is true for the student intendingto enter medicine or divinity or law — indeed,these students may shorten their courses byseeking in college those courses in the professional school which are collegiate orliberal in character, and it is true also forthose who with less definiteness have prepared for business or teaching. It is especially true of the blessed minority who,discovering an aptitude for investigation,undertake to tread the long trail to achievement in research. The quality of instruction in the colleges is, moreover, higher onthe whole because the world-reputation wonby reascareh of professors in the graduateschool attracts men of scientific achievement and of promise — men who are frequently, though not necessarily, inspiringteachers in courses open to college students.So it may fairly be said that the collegedoes gain from the presence of a graduateschool.What does the graduate school gain fromthe college in the same university? ( )ne ofthe obvious advantages to the graduateschool is the opportunity which depart ments have of sorting out possible researchstudents. In June, 1921, of the eleven students awarded scholarships in the GraduateSchools, seven continued their work in theUniversity of Chicago. A great advantageto the costly graduate school is the presenceof a large body of college students whocan, by entering the less advanced of thegraduate courses, share the cost of instruction and otherwise reduce the financial loadof research and graduate instruction. Moreover, the alumni of the graduate schools —teachers, for the most part, and investigators — are not typically the financially successful ones who become donors to the university. The men who, appreciative of theachievements of their alma mater in bothresearch and instruction, are in a positionto contribute to the institution's financialsecurity and growth arc usually alumni ofthe colleges. The great university, interested always in the progress not only ofthe departmental fields of scientific knowledge, but also in that of higher education,is able to contribute to that progressthrough experimentation possible in itsown colleges. This is especially the opportunity of the institution which in its colleges has had important experience withthe quarter system, the junior college, andlike problems, and which in its laboratoryschools has been able without educationalloss to save a year for its pupils. A college,then* which, while satisfying the generalfunction of a college in training its studentsis inspired also with the spirit of the graduate school, is a financial and educational aidto a university.David Allan Robertson, Dean.Vacancies, Research, TeachingOccasionally, the University loses a manof commanding ability and usefulness. Iftwo better men could always replace a goodone lost, the University ideal would be realized, so far as this particular question isconcerned. It should not be too hastily inferred, however, that a department or aUniversity has been seriously weakened if aman of national reputation does not fill avacancy. The loss of strong men of maturity sometimes opens the way for youngermen of ability, whose work is largely beforethem. More than one case could be citedin the history of the LTniversity whereyounger men have developed rapidly intocommanding positions, when opportunitypresented. It is but just that this be kept inmind when men of strength are calledaway.In the work of the University, administrative officers are necessary, and administrative duties take time and energy. The manwho assumes such duties curtails his productiveness as a scholar; but the administrative work of one man may leave another.or several others, freer for other sorts of(Continued on page 182)ALUMNI 175Prominent AlumniNewton A. Fuessle, '06Newton Fuessle, '06, belongs to that smallgroup of our alumni whose work on theDaily Maroon while incollege was really a preparation for later journalistic and literary efforts—efforts that have beenrewarded with conspicuous success. He stands,today, one of the leading-novelists among theyounger writers in America. By birth, educationand training he is almostwholly a product of Chicago. To go back aminute :Newton A. Fuesslewas born in Chicago onOctober 16, 1883, the sonof a Chicago clergyman.He was first educated inChicago public schoolsand, after graduationfrom the North WestDivision High School,entered the University ofChicago in 1902. Alumniof that day will recallhim — a young fellow ofnervous, energetic enthusiasm, of original ideas,and of rather mature opinions and definiteideals. Newton was an all-'round fellow,bestowing a well-proportioned share of hisattention on studies, journalism, dramaticsand athletics. He became managing-editorof the Maroon, and was co-author of "TheRushing of Raxes," one of the Blackfriarhits of that early period. In athletics hewas a prominent distance runner on theFreshman Track Team and then on the'Varsity Cross-Country Team. He was amember of Washington House, later becoming a member of Phi Kappa Sigmafraternity. But whatever his activities,there was always uppermost in his mindthe preparation for a journalistic and literary career — indeed, even while in collegehe began contributing short stories to various magazines.After leaving the Quadrangles, in 1906,Newton entered the newspaper field, reporting on papers ranging from New Yorkto Seattle and back. During this time hemet with a great variety of experiences,exciting and hazardous, such as only a "live"Newton A. Fuessle, '06reporter for metropolitan dailies encounters. He steadily supplemented his newspaper work with more and more shortstories for a number ofnational periodicals.His marked ability towrite vital and attractive"copy" naturally led toan extension of his workinto advertising fields.For some time Fuesslewas advertising managerof the Chalmers MotorCompany, and then hejoined the writing stallof the National CityBank, New York. Withinthe last year he hasjoined the staff of TheOutlook.Besides some two hundred short stories, Fuessle has published threebooks — "Flesh and Fantasy," a collection offascinating tales; "TheFlail," a novel, in 1919,containing numerouschapters whose background is laid on thecampus of the Universityof Chicago, and "GoldShod," a novel, published last fall by Boni & Liveright. Commenting on "The Flail" in the Yale Review,Hugh Walpole, the English novelist, classedFuessle with Joseph Hergesheimer, WillaCather, and James Branch Cabell, amongAmerica's leading novelists. "Gold Shod"has been acclaimed by numerous critics inNew York, Chicago and elsewhere as a mostpowerful work of realism. Although hehas had very wide, practically national, experience, the Middle West has thus far supplied the main background of Fuessle's novels.On January 3, 1912, he was married toAliss Helen Hessong of Columbus, Ohio.Fuessle is a member of the SalmagundiClub, New York, and takes an active interest in the meetings of our New YorkAlumni Club. Some of his readers have regarded his presentation of the University inhis work as rather "sharp," but, to clear theatmosphere, this is Newton's own frankopinion: "Chicago ranks alongside of Harvard as the two greatest universities inAmerica."THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINENEWS OF THEQUADRANGLES"A Gala Evening"Proms, plays and papers — these were thehigh spots of February. The WashingtonProm, a gala evening which has been anannual feature of University life for almostthirty years, was held in Ida Noyes hall,February 21, the first campus prom since1918. An outlay of $1,500 provided decorations, music, programs and dinners for thethree hundred couples who attended. Theundergraduates seemed to develop the Promhabit, for two have been given subsequently— a Sophomore-Freshman Prom, March 4,at the Kenwood Club, and a Junior classformal at the Cooper-Carlton hotel March10. Both were on a smaller scale than theWashington Prom, although equally successful.In the field of dramatic effort the women's"Portfolio," presented February 24 and 25in Mandel hall, was the most elaborate effort.The program took the form of vaudevillesketches, held together by a thread of allegory, and brought out a surprising amountof talent among the University women.Grace Bennett, Adelaide Bledsoe, EllenCoyne, Constance Croonenberghs, and AliceLarson scored individual successes. TheWinter play of the Dramatic Club, "ThreeLive Ghosts," was scheduled for March 10and 11, with Earle Ludgin, Ellen Coyne andLionel Friend in the leading roles. TheDramatic Club has engaged a professionalcoach. Another program was the annual"International Night" given March :: byforeign students.Midyear elections to the student governing bodies were held February 17. Undergraduates council members elected were:Walker Kennedy, '23, John Harris, '23,Signe Wennerblad, '23, Clarence Brickman,'24, Ella Alarks, '24, Robert Koeber, '25, andMartha Smart, '25.

TrYOU REMEMBER— 177Do You Remember —*._ —Martin ManleyEvery enterprise of import has some man"behind the scenes" whose efforts contributevery materially toward its success. Thenames of such helpersseldom appear "on theprogram," so that mostof us never know whothey are or what they do.Their records, if presented at all, are usuallyanonymously writ. Butthose "familiar with theshow" know them, appreciate them, and long remember them. Such apersonage is Martin Man-ley, who has officiated,literally, be hi n d thescenes at every Blackfriars' Show, Portfolioperformance, or otheraffair of entertainment orsolemnity in Mandel Hallsince the hall was erected.Blackfriars particularlywill recall him, seated, ashe is in the picture,watching a rehearsalwith practiced eye, andready to correctly carryout at once any detail ofback-stage work that maybe required.Martin Manley is now Martin Manleycompleting histwenty-second year of service to the University, having come to the University inOctober, 1901. Often, as matters went, hashe dined or devoured at the old Shanty. Hewas born at Columbus, Wisconsin, on September 9, 1862, and after a period of farmwork that began with his boyhood, camedown to the Big Town with something ofthe discoverer's spirit of Columbus himself.On June 7, 1899, he was married to MissEleanor Flanigan of Chicago; there arethree children, girls — Alicia, Eleanor andLucille. Two years later Manley enteredthe employ of the "new University." Soondisplaying the characteristics of stability,sturdiness and reliability, he has steadilyrisen to his present position of foreman, nowhaving general charge of the buildings onthe north side of the Quadrangles.Many and interesting have been his experiences in the course of the twenty-twoyears, but perhaps the most interesting oc-cured when the S. A. T. C. took charge ofthe University. Let him tell of it: "During the recent war, when the University was taken over for the S. A. T. C.soldiers, dormitories, fraternity houses, andeven the Stadium on Stagg Field soon tookon a warlike appearance,as they sheltered soldiersand sailors. The searchlights on top of Bartlettoffered sufficient illumination for the numberless squads to drill andpractice their war tacticson Stagg Field everyevening. This proved asource of great interestfor the neighboring communities and people oftencrowded the field to seethis unusual demonstration. The employes ofthe University duringthese eventful nights dutifully and cheerfully administered to every needof the soldiers."The soldiers themselves frequently offeredgood amusement for theemployes as they busiedthemselves during theday with extraordinary'pastimes.' e s p e c i a llyjanitor work.

It consists of Harvard College, in whichsome 2,700 men are now taking the undergraduate course; the Engineering School,which admits men for both undergraduate and graduate study; and a number of graduateand professional departments, the Graduate Schools of Arts and Sciences, Law, Medicine, Divinity, Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Business, and Education; theDental School, which is on an undergraduate basis, and the Bussey Institution, agraduate school of applied biology. The total number of students is now slightly oversix thousand.The distinguished quality of the teaching staff, the remarkable facilities of theuniversity for study in many fields of learning (including the most comprehensiveuniversity library in the world) and the Harvard traditions of intellectual freedom anddevelopment of individuality attract students from all over the country. The nationalcharacter of Harvard at present is shown by the fact that of its six thousand students,forty-six percent, or a little less than half, come from New England; forty-eight percentfrom other parts of the United States; one-half of one percent from outlying territoriesot the United States and four and one-half percent from foreign countries.The picture above, of the historic college yard, shows three of the old dormitories,Hollis, Stoughton, and Holworthy Malls. In these buildings many distinguished Americans lived when they were students at Harvard, including Charles Sumner, EdwardEverett, Wendell Phillips; the historians, John Lothrop Alotlev, Francis Parkman,George Bancroft, and William II. Prescott; Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry D. Thoreau,James Russell Lowell, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Edward Everett Hale," and PhillipsBrooks. Other graduates of the college include three presidents of the United States,John Adams, John Quincy Adams, and Theodore Roosevelt; and a fourth, PresidentHayes, was a graduate of the Harvard Law School.UNIVERSITY 179The Harry Elkins Widener Memorial LibraryThis building, completed in 1915, contains the greater part of Harvard's two millionbooks, the third largest collection in the United States.University HallBuilt in 1815, contains LTniversity offices and the Faculty Room used for meeting of theOverseers who are elected by the graduates to supervisUniversity. e the administration of theTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEQtt> <gi £1 fP « @ -Q 0 , -fvCharles ("Chuck") Redmon, '22Captain 1922 Track TeamBasketball is drawing to a close, with buttwo more games, both with Wisconsin, stillon the schedule.

The first wasplayed at Chicago; the second at Illinois,and went into an extra period. In thesetwo games the team was at its best; it had asuperior floor game, and fair shooting. Carelessness lost the Iowa game; Purdue wasplayed at LaFayette, and the defeat was expected. Purdue won the championship.Coach Nels Norgren had a system ofplay that was very effective, and in all therecent games but the Iowa contest the Maroons controlled the ball effectively. Theplayers were weak in shooting, and missedtoo large a percentage of their shots. Therewere one or two men, also, wdio could notbe subordinated to the team system, and somuch of Norgren's excellent coaching wasabandoned in the stress of tight games. Inthe Illinois games, the team played like achampion; in the Iowa game, for example, itlooked like a high school outfit. In percentage, the team is now teetering on theedge of the first division; the result of thetwo Wisconsin games will mean much inthe final standing.

In theNorthwestern meet, Chicago won the mostfirsts, but had no place men, and the Purplewon on its seconds and thirds. In the conference, which is to be held on Alarch 17 and18, the Chicago chances are very dubious;Alinnesota looks like the probable winner.Capt. Blinks will have very good competition in his events; Byler and Fledeen are theonly other men who can hope to place. Unless Blinks can perform beyond all expectations, Chicago can not win.The water basketball team has beenswamping all opposition, and probably willtake the championship easily.

In the Illinoisrelays, the one-mile team was third, and thefour-mile team was fifth, distancing severalother conference teams. In the conferencemeet on Alarch 18, Pyott, in the quarter, C.Brickman in the hurdles, Krogh in the mile,and the relay team, are the only point possibilities.Coach Pat Wright's small squad of wrestlers tied with Purdue, defeated Wisconsin,and Ohio, and lost to Illinois.Coach Hoffer's gymnastic team has wonfrom Wisconsin, Alinnesota, and Illinois.

He made a record — delivering four speeches to about eighteen hundred people. His charm, simplicity andoutstanding honesty was the burden of thecomment by all who heard him, and youmay say for those who heard him that Mr.Stagg's oft-repeated statement that he is nospeaker is merely an expression of hismodesty.Please find enclosed a check for fourdollars, for which send us two copies of"Cap and Gown," to be placed one each inthe Library of the Peoria High School andthe Manual High School in Peoria.Very truly yours,Charles C.

The OldMan has "come and gone and conquered," Yesterday was a great day from every angle.Stagg talked to 3,200 high school pupils —over 2,500 of them boys — and made a remarkable impression upon them. The highschool principals were, if anything, moreenthusiastic than the boys over his talks.He had a real message — and got it over big!The Alumni Clubs, from Burshuba to Dan,ought to be using him in this way, not fromany selfish motives, but for the good hecan do as an evangelist — preaching cleanliving and clear thinking and idealism — tothe boys of the country.Such a preachment, coming from such aman, has more effect upon red-blooded boy-dom than all the silver-tongued oratory letloose by the pulpits.Our family party last night was simplydelightful and I have a sneaking hunch thatthe Old Alan enjoyed it as much as therest of us — which is all that one could ask.Carl Beck, ex-'04,Detroit, Alichigan.A Plutocrat for Fifty CentsMr. A.

Pierrot:Of course, everybody that comes out ofGermany bores all his friends with his talesof the fabulous cheapness of things here,but remember that marks have been hovering around 750 to the pound and 175 to thedollar, although today they have fallen below 800 and 200. At that rate the fairlysteep rate of sixty marks a day for eachperson for a room is not so fearful, considering that we have two huge doublerooms. There are four of us in this party,and the rooms were furnished to suit ourneeds as students. On Christmas day (although the charge for service is included inthe bill) we went about shedding ten, fiveand twenty mark notes to various membersof the staff, in what must have been, tojudge from the results, a right royalfashion, although I figured later that I hadgiven in all fully forty- five cents.

Since the University invitesstudents, it is under obligation to try tocare for them properly. Teaching is achief function of the University, and the menwho take their work as teachers seriously,necessarily devote much time to it. Theiroutput of research may be correspondinglydiminished, but their heavy burden ofteaching may free others for activities ofother kinds. In other cases, university menfind their chief satisfaction in research, andgive no time to administration, and a minimum to teaching. In some cases, resultsjustify this distribution of time. Not rarely,circumstances, rather than taste or talent,have determined the field in which a man'senergies are spent. It would be most unfortunate for administrative officers, teachers, or research men to develop a feeling ofsuperiority over their colleagues whose interest or activities are centered elsewhere.This is today a grave danger in academiclife, and the policies of the Universityshould be such as to discourage thetendency, wherever and whenever it makesits appearance.Rollin D. Salisbury, Dean,The Ogden Graduate School of Science.Social ActivitiesIn common with other communities, bothin this and in foreign countries, the University of Chicago has suffered from a waveof laxness in social standards. Variousagencies were appealed to during the yearnot only to correlate work and recreationin due proportions, but to direct the socialactivities so that they would be of realvalue both to the University as a wThole andto the individuals immediately concerned. Aconference was held in the middle of theWinter Quarter at which were present byinvitation of the Dean of Women officersand chairmen and members of the socialand reception committees of the differentclasses. The Dean presented the problemin its various phases and requested the students to consider how the social life couldbe ordered so as to (1) contribute to and notimpair the intellectual efficiency of the students; (2) be a source of physical recreationand not of bodily exhaustion; (3) add tosocial resources of students and to theirease and enjoyment in meeting different social situations; (4) develop a sense of socialresponsibility and dependableness; (5) aidin establishing reasonable standards ofmoney expenditures; (6) include as manystudents who need it as possible.The response was very gratifying, and asituation which had already been recognizedas far better in its tone than was true inneighboring communities was rendered evenmore satisfactory. The problem was later(Continued on page 187)NOTES 183President Scott, Convocation OratorPresident Walter Dill Scott of Northwestern University, widely known for his important work during the war as director ofthe Committee on Classification of Personnel in the Army, will give the next Convocation address at the University of Chicago,Alarch 21, on the subject of "HandlingMen." As a recognition .of his highly successful war service, he was made colonel inthe United States Army and awarded theDistinguished Service Medal.President Scott, before election to thepresidency of Northwestern, was professorof psychology and director of the psychological laboratory in that institution, and hisbooks on The Psychology of Advertising,Influencing Men in Business, and IncreasingHuman Efficiency have made him leader inhis field of research.Libraries Now Own Over Million PiecesAdditions to the University libraries during the past year have brought the totalnumber of books and pamphlets over the onemillion mark.The volumes are being acquired at the rateof 30,000 yearly — almost one hundred everyday. An average cost of 40 cents is neededto classify and catalog each book and put itin its proper place in the stacks. Twoweeks is the average time required to catalogand classify one volume, although a largestaff is constantly employed to do the work.Agents in London, Paris, Berlin and otherlarge European cities are employed to keepon the lookout for rare volumes that havebeen lost by University students, and thatare not to be had in American markets. Aperiod of from two to four 'years is oftenneeded to replace a book that has been lost,and students are charged twice the purchaseprice for lost volumes in order to providefunds to pay the agents.The Educational ScreenThe Educational Screen is a new magazine published in Chicago by an incorporatedcompany of which Dr. H. E. Slaught, '98,is president and Nelson A. Greene, formerlyof Princeton and Brown Universities, iseditor. The purpose of this magazine, toquote from the introduction, is "to get at thetruth about visual education in all its phasesand in its broadest aspects and to serve it upto thinking Americans in an impartial andindependent fashion, having no slightestcommercial connection with any branch ofthe great Visual' industry." It is thus a magazine devoted to the educational causeand to no other; a magazine distinctly educational and critical, rather than commercialand propagandist, a magazine written andproduced by those whose scholarly trainingand experience qualify them to discuss educational matters. A number of the membersof the faculty of the University are interested in the advancement of the publication.University Finances and the Cost ofEducationIn the new President's Report just issued,President Judson says with reference to theUniversity's finances that "the traditionalpolicy of keeping the University expenditures within the limits of income has againbeen maintained during the year just closed.The University has always had, and we trustalways will have, a balanced budget. . . .The present income which meets the greatexpenses of the University is derived to theextent of 46.9 per cent of this budget fromstudents, 43.7 per cent from invested funds,and 9.4 per cent from miscellaneous sources.It is plain then that students pay less thanone-half the cost of their instruction."Election to the Presidency of the CentralDivision of the Modern LanguageAssociation of AmericaProfessor William Albert Nitze, Headof the Department of Romance Languagesand Literatures, was elected president of theCentral Division .of the Modern LanguageAssociation of America at its recent annualmeeting in Iowa City.

Evidences of thisinfluence are to be found on all levels ofinstruction— elementary, intermediate, highschool and college. There are new policiesand new' practices in the teaching of reading, writing, arithmetic, civics, science, drawing, shop-work, language, and so on throughthe list. There are revised conceptions asto the arrangement and distribution of instructional materials which are just as fundamental in the education of children as arethe detailed methods of treating that material. Along with the readjustment in choice,arrangement, and treatment of subject-matter has come the necessity for administrative provision and supervision which willmake possible effective teaching practice.This need for administrative and supervisory leadership is nowhere more essentialthan in industrial education where trainingaffords a direct connecting link betweenschool and the work-a-day world.Prior to 1917 there was a constant demandfor manual training teachers. There wereoccasional demands for supervisors or directors of manual training who were first ofall expected to be experienced teachers inone or more subjects they were asked tosupervise. The larger normal schools andcolleges supported only a limited number ofteacher training departments. Therefore, itseemed quite desirable that the Universityof Chicago, through the use of its shops inthe training schools, supplement availabletraining facilities for teachers of technicalsubjects.Following the passage of the Smith-Hughes Act, 1917, there sprang up throughout the country a very "large number ofcenters offering thoroughgoing courses forteachers of technical subjects. If needlessduplication were to be avoided, this widespread development made necessary a readjustment in the University's training program. Hence it was decided that the technical work offered in the School of Education should be confined to courses neededby students in the training school. Thiseliminated all technical training courses forteachers and limited shop provision to theneeds of grade and high-school students.It also freed funds for other lines of work.As has been indicated above, no matterhow well teachers may be trained, it is nec essary that they be given the physicalequipment and administrative support essential for effective teaching practice. Suchsupport is, for the most part, lodged withschool administrative and supervisory officers, and it becomes just as necessary thatthey be given the right point of view as thatteachers be trained for classroom functioning. While it is possible to train teachersin normal schools and colleges, it is notalways possible to reach, as generally ascould be desired, influential superintendents,principals, and supervisors who are to control the conditions under which school workis to be done. The School of Education isin a position to influence a large number ofthese administrative officers, mostly on thegraduate level, and it is here that funds andenergy may well be expended. Such provision means the transfer of emphasis fromteacher training to the training of administrators. It means a shift from undergraduate to graduate courses. It means interestin the all-'round education of that ratherlarge group of young people who are toenter industrial employments rather than interest in any single group of subjects forany level of instruction. The courses nowoffered in the Department of Industrial Education and those contemplated for the immediate future will be limited to the administration of industrial education, thesupervision of instructional work within thefield of industrial education, and to researches in instruction, supervision and administration. Reference to the School ofEducation Bulletin will indicate in detailthe nature of the courses in the department.The work in. industrial education is supplemented by experimental and demonstration courses conducted as part of the laboratory school. Because of restrictedregistration, opportunity for experimentalwork is limited to training suited to studentspursuing the general intermediate and high-school technical courses.Since the effectiveness of vocational education is dependent upon definiteness of aimand adjustment to the needs, interests, andcapacities of students, it has been found desirable to maintain close connection betweenthe work in industrial education and coursesin occupational guidance and placement.The Department of Education offers, eitherthrough residence or through correspondence courses, work covering current problems and practices in occupational guidance.There is also provision for the training ofOF EDUCATION ANNUAL DINNER 185counselors and for research in advisementand replacement.It should be definitely understood thatthe courses offered are organized primarilyto meet the needs of advanced students andto give to school administrators a point ofview which will lead to adequate educational provision for the large number ofyoung people who become industrial workers. Duplication of local provision has beenstudiously avoided.Annual Dinner of the University ofChicago Department of Superintendence of the N. E. A.During the meeting of the Department ofSuperintendence, one night is always setaside for college and university dinners. Inthe midst of departmental conferences, executive sessions, administrative meetingsand general turmoil, loyal sons and daughters are to be seen battling their waythrough the crowds to purchase tickets forthe annual banquet of their Alma Mater.This year, the Meeting of the Departmentof Superintendence being held in Chicago,the University of Chicago dinner was anunusually large and enthusiastic gathering.Reservations had been made weeks in advance by the out-of-town people while thoseon the campus were hard at work practicingsongs and planning a cordial welcome fortheir guests.The dinner was held at the Hamilton Cluband a pleasant atmosphere of cordiality wasat once established in the informal reception that took place before going to thedining room. Students and alumni had thepleasure of meeting President Judson, DeanRobertson, Dean Butler, Dean Gray, andAir. Tigert of the Bureau of Education.There was also time for renewing old acquaintances and making new ones, so thatthe crowd that finally filled the great diningroom was in the mood of good fellowship sonecessary to a successful dinner.Air. Beach Cragun was the song leaderof the evening and besides evoking spiritedgroup singing, furnished also a male quartet from the School of Education that contributed materially to the harmony of theevening. Dean Gray was the toastmasterand began the after-dinner speeches withseveral amusing tales characteristic of thoseever-painful days of registration. One ofthem related to a distraught looking student who was met by a kindly member ofthe faculty and asked, "Have you matriculated yet?" The student looked dazed fora moment and then announced firmly, "Noma'am, I don't believe in that!"Dean Gray announced President Judsonas the first speaker of the evening and everyone present appreciated hearing him at thistime because, as he himself suggested, themeeting usually is where he is not. ThePresident spoke about the need of teaching students to think for themselves in the fieldof education as in every other science. Hesaid he could sec no advantage in the promotion of a political pedagogue to a placein the President's cabinet. Education to beeffective must come from within and not besuperimposed from without. In closing, hespoke of the graduates of the Departmentof Education at work all over the world andsaid that it is the business of educators tocarry educational ideals throughout thecommunity and in this way to educate themasses of people.The next speaker was Commissioner J. J.Tigert of the Bureau of Education. He paida splendid tribute to the institution, whoseguest he was. "The spirit and atmospherewhich surrounds an institution are far moreimportant than mere architecture and thesplendid spirit that permeates the Universityof Chicago is largely due to its first president, William Rainey Harper, and his successor, Harry Pratt Judson." Mr. Tigertsaid, "The American people are only justlearning the value of education and not untilthey realize that it is the greatest factor inhuman values, will they reach that pinnacleof culture so long sought and so desirable."There was one serious drawback to thecomplete enjoyment of the evening and thatwas the absence of Dr. Judd, who has notmissed an annual dinner since 1910. Hisgreetings were received with the greatestenthusiasm and this portion of his letterconcerns all graduates of the Department:"We need at the School of Education thecontributions that your practical experiencein the field can supply. We need articles forour Journals which come from the daily experiences of classroom teachers and supervisors. We need the kind of letters whichwill keep us informed as to the best tpyesof training to be provided for your successors while they are students."Aliss Alice Temple sent a delightful letter of greeting from Los Angeles with adetailed account of the activities of thevarious members of the faculty who are enjoying the "rigors of a California winter."Aliss Martin contributed an acrostic thatconveyed her good wishes and spelled"University of Chicago." Professor Parkerresponded by letter from Florida withscarcely a word about the movies. It maybe that the cold has frozen the films.The next speaker was Aliss Laura AI.Johnston of the Oshkosh Normal School.She spoke of the interdependence of thethree great educational agencies, the publicschool, the normal school and the university.Miss Johnston said the time was now ripefor these three agencies to unite and workout their common objectives.Dr. George F. Counts of Yale paid aglowing tribute to Dr. Judd's influence onyoung men in the field of education and hispower in bringing them into that field.

Scores of historicalnovels, biographies, and volumes of lettershave been published as a record of the contributions made by the nation's leaders.Some of them have been valuable becauseof the importance of the period described;others because of the literary ability displayed by the author; and still others because of the subject whose life-story wastold. None of these records is all-inclusive.From time to time a new volume appearswhich helps to round out the general view ofthe making of this nation.Through Three Centuries by Jesse Leonard Rosenberger is one of the most recent ofthese biographical contributions. This biography of three generations in the Colverfamily can claim attention for the record itcontains of some phases of religious history,especially of the early Baptists and theirministers, and of the history of the firstUniversity of Chicago.The' author takes the reader back to Puritan New England for a brief introduction tothe hardy, God-fearing ancestors of Nathaniel Colver, D.D., who is the central figure ofthe chronicle. On the completion of thelife-story of this religious pioneer, a part ofthe book is devoted to the lives of his son,the Reverend Charles Kendrick Colver, andhis daughter, Susan Esther Colver, '82, A.AI. '86, who was the author's wife. Their connection with the first, or old, University ofChicago, is indicated, and'the inspiration forthis biography of them is shown in thememorial endowments made in their namesfor educational and religious-educationalpurposes.In delineating the periods of NathanielColver's life-work Air. Rosenberger hasdrawn a picture in faithful detail of the typeof life led by many another earnest preacherof the gospel. He tells of the twenty yearsspent here and there in small New Englandministries. He follows that with the storyof pastorates in Boston, Detroit, Cincinnati,and Chicago, and then gives with considerable detail an account of the inauguration oftheological instruction in the old Universityof Chicago. Through this, in the main,account of religious history runs an undercurrent dealing with the growing anti-slavery movement prior to the Civil War period.Throughout the book, which is a splendidexample of the modern bookmaker's art,there are the little threads of color that helpto brighten the pages of history. Anecdotesof the circuit rider in New England, hintsof runaway slaves, descriptions of the schoolin Lumpkin's slave jail at Richmond, Virginia, are followed by pictures of dormitorylife at the first University of Chicago whentheological instruction was free and boardcost four dollars a week, when the roomsfor men were in the one college hall, andstudents supported themselves by readinggas meters and lighting the street lamps.OF EDUCATION— PRESIDENTS' REPORT 187School of Education(Continued from page 185)pointed out that one of the great needs ineducation today is not merely the development of the individual but the directing ofhis interests towards large ends, group welfare, a sense of obligation to society. Dr.Freeman struck a similar note in the closingspeech of the evening when he spoke ofthe need for putting education across notonly to pupils, but to the whole community.This he felt would be more and more possible as men and women go out from theschools with the spirit of scientists, forsuch a spirit would make education moreadaptable to human needs. Dean and Mrs. Gray entertained the members of Lambda Chapter of Pi LambdaTheta on the evening of February 7. During the evening Dean Gray talked on thehistory of the N. E. A. and outlined some ofthe significant tendencies in the development of this organization.At a recent meeting of Lambda Chapterof Pi Lambda Theta the following officerswere elected: President, Regina Friant;Vice-President, Bonnie Alellinger; Keeperof Records, Kate Vick; Recording Secretary, Lillian Englesen; Corresponding Secretary, Marjorie Hardy; Treasurer, MaryHarrison.Pi Lambda ThetaPreceding the meeting of the Departmentof Superintendence in Chicago, on the evening of February 28, representatives from thevarious chapters of Pi Lambda Theta werethe guests of the local chapter at a dinnerat the Cordon Club. The National President, Miss Ella Victoria Dobbs, and the National Secretary, Miss Leila Gerry, were inattendance. Miss Dobbs acted as toastmas-ter and called on Miss Helen Ross and AlissRuth Immel, charter members, to respondto the toast, "Yesterday." Representativesof the different chapters responded to thetoast, "Today." Miss Frances L. Nardin suggested expanded lines of work for the fraternity in her talk on "Tomorrow." From the President's Report(Continued from page 182)taken up by the residents of the women'shalls and concerted action was taken towardpreserving the social freedom which hasalways characterized the organized life ofthe women students and at the same timepreventing its abuse by individuals who,through ignorance or carelessness, mightbring discredit on their associates and theUniversity. The discussions were admirablein their spirit and commendable results wereimmediately observed.

In both addresses the keynote was the great satisfaction felt in the increased friendliness nowcharacterizing the relations between the two(Continued on page 200)NOTES 107University Notes(Continued from page 183)ter for either term or for both. The lastSummer Quarter attendance was the largestin the history of the University — 6,458.Facilities Offered by AmericanUniversity UnionThe American University Union, withwhich the University of Chicago is connectedas a subscribing institution, cordially invitesstudents and graduates of the University,visiting Europe, to make use of the facilitiesoffered at the Union offices at 50 RussellSquare, London, W. C, and 1 Rue deFleurus, Paris. Lists of lodgings and pensions are kept and various social opportunities are offered. Access may also be obtained to universities and other institutionsof learning, and candidates for degrees willfind their way made easier by consulting, atParis, Professor Paul Van Dykem, Directorof the Continental Division, and at London, iDr. George E. MacLean, Director of the l_British Division.The annual bulletin of the Union has justbeen issued and may be obtained on application to the Secretary, Professor J. W. Cun-liffe, Journalism Building, Columbia University, New York City. The reports showthat there were 1,153 registrations during theyear at the London office and over 500 atthe Paris headquarters.An Innovation in EducationComplete originality is rare, but a traveling university with a faculty of highestacademic standing, for the study of history, art, and archaeology in situ wouldcome pretty near claiming that title. Notthat such study and even such instructionunder conditions of travel is wholly unprecedented. The Bureau of University Travelintroduced this in principle years ago and ithas had its imitators.The innovation consists in the announcedintention of this organization to surrenderits commercial charter, retire its stock, andtake out a new charter on the educatonalbasis. It thus becomes an educational institution like a university or college, doing its work at cost and ultimately aidedby an endowment the beginning of whichis already assured. Degrees are not contemplated, but co-operation with institutions that grant degrees is already assured.Fifty scholarships are offered for the presentyear. Here is an opportunity for a novelgraduate course under extraordinarilystimulating conditions. University of Chicago students are taking an interest in theunusual advantages offered through thisBureau. Charles E.

B.ONE HUNDRED DOLLARSoffered by the John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company ofBoston for the best answer to Mr. Edison's question, " Who Was JohnHancock?" has been awarded to Leon V. Quigley, a student at theWorcester (Mass.) Polytechnic Institute. This answer, giving a cor^rect, concise and comprehensive statement of the position occupiedby John Hancock in American history, is printed below in full.'Who Was John Hancock?"JOHN HANCOCK was an Americanstatesman and patriot. His signatureis found on the oldest and most important documents of Massachusetts,and of the United States. He was thefirst signer of the Declaration of Independence and was the first Governorof Massachusetts.John Hancock was born at Quincy,Massachusetts, in 1737. He graduatedfrom Harvard College, and enteringupon his uncle's business became a successful merchant in Boston. He gainedmuch in social power and in wealth,being meanwhile justly popular for hisintegrity and ability.He was in 1765-1770 a selectman ofBoston and a member of the generalcourt. With Samuel Adams he led theMassachusetts Whigs, and only escapedcapture at Lexington and Concord byvirtue of the valiant fight by the MinuteMen on the "Nineteenth of April in 75."John Hancock was subsequentlyknown in various positions: as Presidentof the Continental Congress, as Major- General of the Massachusetts militaryforces, as President of the Constitutional Convention. He died at Quincy,Massachusetts, October 8, 1793.The historical position of John Hancock is unique in State and Nation. Hewielded great political influence but wasalways liberal and public-spirited. Hisname is most prominent as a Whigleader during the American Revolutionin such events as the Boston Massacre,the Boston Tea Party and the battlesof Lexington and Concord.John Hancock signed his name firstto the Declaration of Independence.He thus risked his own "life, liberty,and pursuit of happiness" that theseprivileges might be obtained for othersto enjoy. To this end he "pledgedhis life, his fortune, and his sacredhonor.'*That he was popular and efficientmay be judged from the fact that hewas for ten years Governor of Massachusetts, being elected annually to thisoffice by popular vote.John Hancock insured the life of the Ration*—IDe urill insure ijour life urith the same integrityLife Insurance Company'of Boston.
