December "Letter Box" (page 52)appeared two letters, one from W. D. DaI­getty '17, and one from Leslie,M. Parker, '17, J.D. '18, againstthe allotment of the betterseats at football games to "pro-. minent" alumni as contrastedWIth allowing the "unknown" alumnus 'anequal chance in the good-seat drawings; inot��r words, against the establishing of pri­brlt!es within the alumni sections on theas IS of "prominence." To set at rest anyWorry on that score it should be said aton .s ce that, as far as we know, any changesUggested for next year do not make fort: such difficult and troublesome distinc-Ions.al The�e is, however, one distinction .amongti umnl that might deserve some considera­Oon so far as the better seats are involved.c Yr alumni, like those of every university or� .ege anywhere, can be divided into twoob a!n groups---'those who recognize theirw�lgations to their Alma Mater and thoseT 0 somehow fail repeatedly to do so.alhe first group comprises the truly loyalA. umn! who are members of the AlumnisuSShClation, who support alumni activitiesa[fc, as clubs, class reunions, and similartu a.lrs, and who try at all times, as oppor ..a n.Ity offers, to be of financial and othera�Slst�nce to the University through alumnicoencl�S and projects. The second groupth mPrtses those who, though being underane same obligations to their Alma Materdod having equal opportunity to assist, sel­th m make themselves known except whenba1r want something-c-in this i1ilstance, foot-tIckets. They do not join the AlumniPrioritiesAmongAlumni Association, which is the established andlogical way to helpfully cooperate for thewelfare of Chicago; they do not enter intoalumni activities or support alumni endeavorfor the welfare of the University.For the ,latter group, obviously, the obli­gations to the University are just as definiteand as great as are the recognized and ap­preciated obligations of the loyal group.Yet, despite the fact that almost 50 per centof the cost of their education was paid forby the "City Gray"-an "old story," yes, buta very true story-despite the fact that theirUniversity, their Alumni Association, theirclasses and clubs, frequently, frankly andurgently need and request their cooperativeassistance, and, to narrow down to onephase, despite the fact that machinery hasbeen established to give them priorities asalumni for football tickets, they still con­tinue to remain silent and unresponsive.There are even a few who, strangelyenough, rather seem to think that the Uni­versity is somewhat obligated to continueto do something for them. However,alumni officers recognize that certainly allalumni at least must have good intentionstoward the University; and all alumni arealways heartily invited and constantly wel­comed into "active partnership" in the ad­vancement of alumni affairs and projects.But so long as some remain rather apa­thetic they are not properly contributing atleast a fair share toward the advancementof the University interests.N ow, to make a priority distinction on,say, alumni membership basis-need not bea matter of financial distinction. There aremany loyal alumni in the first group who,8586 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEmerely to keep up their annual Associationmembership at two dollars a year, gladlymake something of a sacrifice. Everyonein the second group could do at least thatmuch for Chicago (especially as one gets' theMagazine in return), while there are manywho could easily do considerably, more.Merely to attend football games is not really"supporting" the University. The game it­self is fully worth the price of admission;just as one gets his "money's worth" whenhe sees a first-class theatrical performance.And people like to see football games orthey simply wouldn't come. Of course, weall would rather have the unresponsivealumni come than stay away-the fact that,regardless of their aforementioned apathy,they. get priorities to the exclusion of thepublic (a public, by the way, among whomare JP"lfiY who would actually do far morefor the - welfare of the University) suffi­ciently proves their special welcome. Butthey are not thus really "supporting" Chi­cago; athletics alone can never even beginto support Chicago; (nor does anyone wantChicago "supported," so to speak, by ath­letics); and, if that remains' the sole evi­dence of their interest in and assistance tothe University, they certainly are not "sup­porting" Chicago to any extent as educatedmen and women, as obligated alumni, ashelpful, high-minded citizens.It was, therefore, at least somewhat un­fortunate that last fall many alumni who hadfrequently, consistently; and most loyallycontributed in various ways to our alumnidevelopment and toward advancing the U ni­versity, often at a real sacrifice, foundthemselves in the poorest seats; while manyothers who, despite constant appeals forhelp in alumni affairs, never evinced theslightest interest, found themselves in . thebest seats. And worse-c-because many gotthe impression that, all in all, everythingcomes to him who waits and does nothing.Naturally, this group will always preferthe "chance" system of allottment, becausethen they can continue as inactive as usualand still have an equal chance with thosewho are loyally active, with' those, even,whose work did much to create, the priorityprivileges. (And to digress a moment, lastseason's experience showed that the greatestnumber of "kicks" came from this verygroup, while, in the main, the loyal groupran true to form, taking the situation ingood spirit.)Precedent for certain distinctions amongalumni is not lacking. At Ohio State, atCalifornia, at other universities where stadi­ums have been erected, the loyalty of alumniis openly rewarded by giving preference forthe best seats to the stadium subscribers. In other places other distinctions have beensimilarly made or are being considered.We are not advocating priorities on thebasis of "prominence" in either college andalumni affairs or in general life. Weare notadvocating priorities on the basis of wealthor of the size of contributions to alumniaffairs or to the University. Such distinc­tions would, obviously, be difficult, unfairand hazardous. But alumni have suggestedthat it would hardly be amiss or unfair togive reasonable priorities among alumni tothose who at least are interested enough tobe members of the Alumni Association.With the September application blanksalumni membership slips would be sent out,thus giving all another fair chance to qualifyfor such priority. Everyone can afford todo that much; everyone owes at least thatmuch. And such a contribution to Chicagois much larger than might seem at first irn­pression: it would change inactive alumniinto active alumni; it would weld our greatalumni body into a properly organizedactive unit; it would keep alumni in touchwith the University and with each other;it would strengthen both the alumni organ­ization and the University; and it wouldopen avenues of alumni service to theirAlma Mater that otherwise must unfor­tunately remain closed. Even though small,individually considered, it would be a' con­tribution quite worth while and deeply ap­preciated.This comment, we wish to urge, is notwritten "against" Mr. Dalgetty and Mr.Parker, nor against any of our readers, be­cause they and you, being subscribers, areloyal members of our Association, andwould fully qualify under such a prioritydistinction. Now, having set the case ratherfully and frankly, what do you think aboutit? Should there be a priority distinctionbetween the alumni who are Associationmembers and those who are not? The ques­t�on is open for discussion; like every ques­tion there must be two sides to it. What isyour opinion? Please let us hear from you.The Magazine and the Alumni Councilwish all of our readers a Happy New Year.The year just passed has, beenHappy an eventful one in alumni affairs,19'23! and the year now at hand will,we believe,' prove even more im­portant. Without the aid of Coue we areglad to say we are every day growing bet­ter and better. In this growth you havetaken part-and we thank you again fory,our, loyal cooperation. May 1923 provefor us aU-collectively and individually-thebest year yet!

Not to be outdone by oth.er uni­.JrSItIes these students returned WIth the1 ha of pushing polo as a sport at their ownsc 001. Seven horses which showed prom­bse of being 'suitable for Polo were added1� the government during the summer of21, a polo practice cage was built andactual practice began in the fall of 1921.Polo requires of its participants a physi­�bl strength and mental alertness cornpar­t e only to that demanded by football. Tohese qualifications must be added a thor­hugh training of the ponies. Both men ands orses were new to the game. As a con­shquence the work was often tedious anda OWed apparently no results. As soon1� the weather permitted in. the spring ofth 22 practice continued. During the winterabe Polo' ponies and the few horses suit­ti Ie for play had forgotten their instruc-"lIon, and the old job of making them fol­bOW the ball up and down the lot had toste begun all, over. again. While only a fewth udents were out for polo the spirit wast e:e. They stuck, to the job, of walkingt�eIr horses' up' and down' the field to' teacht emselves how to play' the various shots,to teach their horses to follow the ball, andsh Prevent the ponies from becoming head-y of a swinging polo mallet.Pr TO:vard the end of the spring quartera �Cbce games were played by the studentsn by the students and officers of the Mili- Major John C. Wyeth, Polo Coachtary Department. Efforts were made toarrange practice games with organized poloclubs but owing to the conditions demandedby the outside clubs and the lack of money'in our polo squad these games could notbe played.With the opening of the autumn quarterthe' old students returned to play polo�others who had attended the training campduring the summer and had become imbuedwith the spirit of the game while at camp,signified their desire to play, while a fewmore attracted by the interest, of the gameitself signed up for it.The Federal Government furnishes for­age and' cares for the horses and' ponies.Only ten or twelve of the forfy' on handreally have the conformation, agility anddisposition to make them fit for polo, andthis is another- handicap to be overcomein' the development qf< the game; A propo­sition whereby the University might pur­chase a limited number of' suitable animalsand turn them over to the Department ofMilitary Science and: Tactics, thus makingthem available for the regular military in­struction, and involving their maintenanceby the government, has been submitted bothto the institution and the War department,but the latter professes' to see so many legalobstacles to this procedure that the plan isnow in abeyance.88 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEGerald Cromack, '24, Polo CaptainThere are now twenty-four men practic­ing polo. Because much of the hard jobof training the few suitable ponies is prac­tically over, the technique of the playersis progressing rapidly and already severaltournament games between the studentshave been played. The flash and picturesque­ness of a finished polo match is lacking. Infact, at times our polo squads well resemblesand-lot baseball teams in their general ap­pearance. The regular paraphernalia costsmoney arid not all the players feel that they,can provide this equipment themselves.The regular officers attached to the R. O.T. C. unit, besides being active membersin the Association and paying dues as such,have willingly given of their time and per­sonal funds to make polo a going game atthe University of Chicago, and at first they themselves supplied practically all theequipment used. Another officer of FieldArtillery, not assigned to the R. O. T. C.Unit, but detailed to the University as astudent of ballistics, has contributed largelyto the progress achieved. His knowledgeof the game, obtained through his member­ship on teams at various army posts wherethis sport is especially fostered, has beeninvaluable to the beginners here. An effi­cient coach is necessary in acquiring thetechnique of polo and this officer has givenhis services . in a spirit of willingness andenthusiasm.The students have been securing muchof the equipment at their own expense­polo mallets, balls, helmets, pads for horsesand several other essentials of the game.Recently they have formed a Polo Asso­ciation, taxing themselves to purchase ballsand various articles to be used collectivelyby the players. Forf iding clothes the gov­ernment furnishes through our Field Artil­lery R. O. T. C. Unit, the regulation O. D.army uniform. No effort has yet been madeto secure financial support from the Uni­versity, but with the greater interest nowbeing shown, and more general participation,a request will shortly be made for a modestappropria tion.But the lack of the customary trappingsor the lack of the proper things to playwith does not deter the ardor of the play­ers. What if football headgear is not regu­lation for polo? It protects the head froma nasty jar. It is the sport of the gamethey are after, and it is the sport of thegame they get, as any observer may learnwho will visit the Friday practice at Green­wood Field. During the. latter part of theautumn quarter mounted practice is sched­uled only twice a week, the tournamentsfollowing on Saturday. Those now playingthe game hope that those who come afterthem may have equipment worthy of thesport.The Polo Squad on Greenwood Field, Across the MidwayALUMNI AFFAIRS 89ALUMNI AFFAI RSSioux City Alumni Club DinnerT�e Din�er, as reported below, was given by our Sioux CityAlumni Club 111 honor of Trustee Deloss C.

Club gathered at the ChicagoCollege Club on Thursday, December 28th,to renew college acquaintances and to meetagain Miss Mary McDowell and Miss MyraReynolds, Ph.D. '95. After a very deliciousluncheon, the president of the club, Mrs.Howard L. Willett, '07, presided and intro­duced the guests of, the day.Miss McDowell, head of the University ofChicago Settlement, who has recently re­turned from Czecho-Slovakia, gave us some interesting glimpses of the political situa­tion there. She said that the League of N a­tions is no longer a theory in Europe butthat it is really functioning. In Czecho­Slovakia Miss McDowell was the guest ofPresident Masaryck who at one time waSconnected with the University of Chicago.Miss Reynolds told us, in her own inim­itable way, of early days at the University.Friends of Miss Reynolds will be interestedto know that at the expiration of her thirtyyears' of service in the spring, she will notlose her connection with the University butwill still continue with us in an advisorycapac-ity. She expects to retain her home Iat Lakeside, Michigan, and will divide hertime between several places-her residencein' California and a school' in Greenwich,Connecticut.Among the out-of-town guests at theAlumna-e luncheon, was Mrs. Edward Rum­sey (Gertrude' Fish, '12) of Batavia, NewYork, who" with her' three children, spentthe holidays in Chicago with her mother.The meeting was, regarded as, one of themost interesting ever held by the AlumnaeClub..

Alumni PerformanceAs a result of plans made last. fall, alumniof 'the Dramatic Club will' present a specialperformance of "The Beaux' Statagem," byGeorge Farquhar, on Friday and Satur davevenings, February 9 and 10, in MandelHall. "The Beaux' Strate gem," one of thefamous late Restoration comedies, producedaround 1700, concerns the fortunes of twOyoung aristocratic rakes who set out to re­pair their fortunes through successfulmoney-marriage. It is an unusually cleverand effective comedy, with practically adouble plot along the lines of the recent verysuccessful comedy, called "The FortuneHunter," which .had such remarkable runsin New York and Chicago.The play, to be staged by, Hamilton' Cole­man of Blackfriars fame, will be staged andcostumed, however, not as originally pre­sented in England but as it was given in thefirst American theatre in 1760. TryoutSamong Dramatic Club alumni were held afew days ago. Some of the alumni who winprobably take part are Henry D. Sulcer.'05, Mrs. Phoebe Bell Terry, '07, Harold fl·Swift, '07, Mrs. Phyllis Fay Horton, '15,Dorothy Fay, 'is, Carlin Crandall, '21, andBartlett Cormack, '22. Dean Percy Holme=Boynton, of the English Department, is illgeneral charge of the performance.Not only because of this rare opportunityto see a presentation of this brilliant com­edy, but because of the alumni interest, itis expected that many alumni in Chicagowill attend the performances.(Continued on page 120)CHICAGO DEANS 91+-uu_i ··- .. -O.- •• -""_""_""_lII'_H"_'_""_""_'111";'_"'_'''_'"'_''"_''''_O"-""_O"-'''-'''-"'-"''-""_O''_"'_'III-"tI � Chicago Deans � I� ,� "They Lead and Serve" � i+U--lIn_IUI_IIII_IIII_IIII_IIII_IIII_IIII_IIII II"_IIII_IIII_IIA_IIM_IIII-II .. -IIII-_N .. -IIII-II- .... -IIII-"II_IUI_ •• _III_ ..

Whatis all this bother over intercollegiate athleticsabout, that the daily press is full of, thatinnumerable letters are written about toUniversity athletic committees, and thatUniversity presidents and associations ofcolleges step aside from their educationalwork to make new and restricting rules for?Is it college outdoor sports for their ownsake and the good of the undergraduates,and rivalry with old opponents for the sakeof fine old graduate traditions? Or is it todevelop to the highest power a sporting spec­tacle in which our students will amuse thepublic as did the gladiators of old, and makea University contribution to the gamut ofprofessional and semi-professional sports,with which our country is healthily suppliednow?If it is the latter that we are after, welland good. It is a definite aim. W·e wantour university sports in America to begreat public affairs which each universityproposes to win, so as to attract moreschoolboy student's, hold graduate enthusi­asm, and secure front page newspaper publicreputation as the best-known- institution inthe country. Winning games is, the sole endin view, and to be the assured leader of allcomers, the "champion," the aim. That be­ing so, the way to succeed in it is obvious.The old theory of college sports, for thestudents, of the "captain as King," must bediscarded; a costly athletic organization mustbe built up in college as in professionalsports; coaches must be found and paid nomatter what they ask in salary and ex­penses, who will beat the other fellows'coaches; in every detail, down to conductinggames from the sidelines by the coaches,nothing should be overlooked that will bringvictory, regardless of cost. Athletic defeatsdisgrace a University and it might as wellgo out of business if it can't win, for thatis "What the Public Wants."But suppose that this is not what we areafter, but that we look upon University. athletics as a healthy and necessary partof the Campus life, the aim of which isto give a boy four years of the best all­round experience he can have and sendhim out with a sane mind in a strong body.Suppose that this old-fashioned view is stillheld by a. great many moss-backs and that,as they do a little thinking about it, more and more of the leaders among the youngergroup come to the same conclusion? Itwould then appear that a university's ath­letics are not a means of recruiting the mostdesirable sort of Freshmen, that money andcostly organization have nothing to do withathletic spirit whatever, as it would also ap­pear that all that the old-timers want is tosee their successors on' the ball field, thegridiron, the track and in the crew knowtheir game, play it alone, and then win ifthey are able but never let up trying to tillthe whistle blows. From this ancient view­point, which was Yale's within memory,college athletics are the undergraduates'concern and not the sporting public's, ameans of developing him and his collegeunity, and the graduates' concern only be­cause they want to see the Campus hold towhat was fine and inspiring in their owndays.It is to one of these two ends that everyuniversity in the country is tending all ofthe time and that their graduates' influenceis leading them.We say that this is the graduates' con­cera, because no matter what universitypresidents and associations of colleges thinkor do about such a matter, it is in the enda question of public sentiment. And thegraduates of a university make that publicsentiment, so far as the world outside of theCampus is concerned. The Presidents ofHarvard, Princeton and Yale recently formu­lated certain restricting regulations regard­ing college athletics and football especially.and coaching in general, and the AssociatedNew England Colleges recently did some­thing toward the same end. These restric­tions were necessary, if college sports wereto be kept in line with what the institutionwas for. But if the graduates do not givetheir support to these regulations, if thedemand is in the other direction, rules willcome to nothing.It is the graduate who vociferously de­mands a change in coaches after every de­·feat and the expenditure of money to "getresults," who ought in the long run to bethe lonesome party, and he will be if publicsentiment puts him there. And in sayingthis we have no desire to be harsh towardsthat kind of a graduate. He is the best sortof a good fellow; he enlivens every clubcorner; he is the first to call for a cheer an,dnot the last to aid in every good thing thathis University is trying to do.

At the pepsession before the Princeton game Stagg told of thepossibilities of playing Strohmeier at .quarter and said. the move had been proposed by Strohmeier and Zorn.Strohmeier did appear at quarter, greatly strengthen­ing the. team in the remaining games.For the last two seasons Strohmeier had been oneof the best ends in the conference. It is safe to sayhe would have been even better this year and wouldhave received a place on the all-corifer ence eleven.Yet he was willing to sacrifice his own personal ag­grandizement for the good of the team.

This Stadium was dedicated in October on the occasion of the annual football game with Michigan, and onNovember 11th Chicago played its first game at Columbus there. The architectural features employ the "last word" in up­to-date amphitheatre construction, the main aim being to bring the thousands of spectators as near to the field, and withas great general comfort, as possible.The Stadium is horseshoe shape, the curved sides tending to equalize seat values. There are two decks, the upperdesigned to bring the rear seats closer to the playing field. There are eighty-seven concrete and steel arches, each 56 Ieethigh. The four great towers, two on either side of the main entrance and two at the open ends of the Stadium, are each109 feet high and 36 feet square, A half-dome, 86 feet high (not seen in the picture) is over the main entrance. The towersare used for offices, training quarters, and special rooms. The ground area is 10 acres; the running track, circling the foot­ball field, is one-third mile in circumference. There are 62,110 permanent seats; 10,000 temporary seats can be placed atthe ooen ends. The total capacity, over 72,000, was not enough to seat the crowds at the Michigan dedication game.This Stadium, a magnificent Great War Memorial monument, cost $1,341,000.

The only object ofentrance conditions should be to testwhether students can do the college work.Very· much of the red tape should be elim­inated. Graduation is too long deferred.The only land in the world where so muchtime is spent on preliminaries is the UnitedStates. Further, tests of excellence are toolow. None should be admitted to collegework but those who really want intellectualtraining and are capable of taking it. Noneshould be permitted to continue in it butthose who take it well. Learning in home­opathic doses is not of great value. An in­stitution of learning is primarily for thosewho want learning, without regard to sex, orrace, . or social status."Are we to conduct an institution oflearning or an.- .. amusement park?".Possibilities of a School of Technology atthe UniversityAlthough the University of Chicago hasnot yet developed its School of Technology,President Judson in his recent Convocationstatement said that the most important usefor that great field would be .the establish­ment of a graduate institute of technologyin which applications may be made to theindustrial arts of the body of scientificknowledge produced by the departments ofpure science.An undergraduate school of technology inthe quadrangles would have, he said, thevery great advantage of the existing greatdepartments of undergraduate instruction.A reasonable provision for buildings andtheir equipment, and a proper staff to pro­vide technological instruction of civil, elec­trical, and mechanical engineering, presentno serious difficulty.It has been understood that when thetime should come these buildings would oc­cupy the Midway front on the north side,and west of Ellis Avenue, thus linking upwith the botany research block on CottageGrove Avenue.An Honor for John M.

HillOne of the striking characteristics of thehistory of the last century and a half hasbeen the steady and rapid development ofspecialization in all lines of human endeavor-manufacturing, transportation, the arts,medicine, law, engineering, education, re­search. This development is the natural re­sult of machine manufacture, of a realiza­tion of the skiN which comes from the con­tinuous repetition of the same act, of thevast accumulation of data of all kinds whichhas been made during this period, and of theincreasing complexity of modern. life.As a result, everyone nowadays is of ne­cessity more or less of a specialist; for thescope and exteat of human knowledge hasSO· 'widened that it has become impossiblefor. anyone to master it alI. In the. earlyMiddle Ages it was not so. At that timeable scholars could master aU the learningof. western Europe and several of them aresaid to have done so. In one of the greatuniversities of today, however, it is claimedthat a student would need more than onehundred and eighty years to take all of thevarious courses which are offered.The specialization and complexity of mod­ern life have been reflected naturally in theincreasing demands which have been madeupon the schools. This is apparent all alongthe line-in the introduction of courses in themanual and household arts, in the natural. sciences, in music and the fine arts, and inhistory and the other social sciences.One of the encouraging results of thissevere pressure on the curriculum has beena growing tendency on the part of exponentsof the several subjects to scrutinize closelythe content of their courses so as to eliminateirrelevant or unimportant data and to formu­late instead valid minimal essentials in eachcourse. Another beneficial result has beenthe tendency towards synthesis seen in theorganization of such introductory courses asunified mathematics, general science, andcommunity life. A third outcome has beena slow realization by the advocates of the.older subjects of the educative and socialvalue of the newer ones and a growingtendency to recognize the claims of thelatter to a place in the sun.This last-named tendency can be clearlyobserved in the recommendations which:have emanated from time to time during thelast twenty-five years from various commit­tees of historical societies. For example, in1898, the Committee of Seven of the Arneri- can Historical Association published thefamous report in which it advocated fouryears of high-school history, as follows:ancient history, medieval and modern his­tory, English history, American history andcivics. Thirteen years. later (1911) the Corn­mittee of Five of the same Association re­ceded somewhat from this position arid pr o­vided for a reduction in the amount of his­tory to be taught and for a slight extensionof the time allotted to civics. A much morestriking Change appeared in 1921 in therecommendations of the Committee on His�tory and Education for Citizenship-c-thesvrecommendations were not adopted by theAmerican Historical Association but theyreflect the views of a considerable group inthat organization. Although this committeerecommended four years of social sciencefor four-year high schools, it provided thaJonly two years of the four should be devoteto history. Other alternatives were also setforth by the committee.At the present time there are indicatio?sthat the plan of requiring two years of hIS;tory for graduation from a four-year higtrschool is steadily gaining in favor. Su�seems to be the major suggestion of theCommittee of the National Education Asso�ciation in its report of 1916; such, as pointedout above, is· the recommendation of tlheAmerican Historical Association Commit�e�on History and Education for Citizensh1!:',and such apparently is coming to be t.fpractice in a steadily increasing number 01'secondary schools.Now what constitutes this two-year se'quence in high school history? On this i��portant matter there is considerable varI.�,tion. As its major suggestion the Coroml,tee on Social Studies of the National Edt1ecation Association (1916) recommends tllfollowing: (1) a year of European histor�extending from the earliest times to appro"!,mately the end of the seventeenth centU�;Y�(2) one-half year of European history, 1�,eluding England, from the end of the sevee,teenth century to the present time and 011",half year of American history from the se rfenteerith century .to the present time .. C'more time IS available the CommIttee. r,ee5ornmends that these two last named courS,t'be extended to one year each. The Cou:f[11Jl,tee on History and Education for CitlZCe,ship (1921) recommends as a two-year sri 1quence: (1) a year of European histO�(from 1650 to the present time and (2) a yeSCHOOL OF EDUCATION NOTESof � nited States history during the nationalP:fIod. In Pennsylvania the two years ofhIstory in the senior high school accordingto the state program are: (1) a year ofEuropean history which is intended to serveas a .world survey (an additional half year ifPossIble is to be given to this course) and{2) a year of American history organized in�. topical-chronological manner.· In prac-I�ally all cases the two years of history areo ered in the tenth and eleventh grades..

In addition,the constant linking of the past and the pres­ent, which is of the very essence of a genu­ine topical treatment of such subjects as thewestward movement or the Industrial Revo­lution, promotes an historical attitude ofmind in the pupils and enables them to seethat illuminating relationship between thepast and the present, which does so muchto make the study of history both fascinat­ing and socially worth while.SCHOOL OF EDUCATION NOTESThe Annual University' of Chicago Dinnerin connection with the meeting of the De­partment of Superintendence of the N.

Jenkins(University of Chicago Press)The alumni of the University who spendtheir vacations at Lake Geneva, Wiscon­sin, or who have visited their friends on itsshores, will find Jenkins' book a most in­teresting account of this region. They willbe attracted to the volume by its appear­ance, its binding in two shades of green,the little vista of wooded lake that is tippedonto the .cover, and the splendid series ofphotographs that illustrate the text. Butits contents will hold their interest, for Dr.Jenkins has written of the lake in a stylethat they will enjoy, and he has told many;tales that will give added meaning to futurevisits.The Book of Lake Geneva is first of' all ahistorical narrative. It takes the reader backinto the days when the mastodon roamed overNorth America, and describes the geologicforces which have been at work through count­less ages to produce the well-known physicalfeatures of the lake region. It picks up thehuman element" thread with the coming of thewhite explorers into the hunting grounds of theWisconsin Pottawatomies. From many sourcesDr. Jenkins has been able to secure materialwith which to picture Lake Geneva when it wasknown as "Big-Foot Lake," after an Indianchief whose tribe lived nearby. From theseearly narratives he has learned what 'itlooked like when Mrs.. John H. Kinzie sawit in 1831, and when John Brink, a frontier surveyor who gave it its present name,marked township and section lines around it.The chapter on the Indians of Lake Genevathrows many a sidelight on the way theaboriginal inhabitants lived before andafter the white men came, and it is followedwith a most engrossing section on earlypioneer life in the state.The Lake Geneva of the present is, how­ever, the author's main interest, and hencehis chapters on the flora and fauna, the in­stitutions and homes, the motor routes, andthe climate are extensive and vivid. Theywill serve the visitor as a handbook of thepoints of interest and a nature-guide of au­thority to suggest the many different kindSof vegetable and animal life that may befound. The fish that swim in Geneva's clearwater are here given most marked atten­tion, which will make the book appeal tothe disciples of Isaac Walton, and the manykinds of feathered creatures that fly over itare described in detail as they have beetlobserved at the lake.The Yerkes Observatory of the University has a story, too, to be told and in thISvolume Dr, Jenkins does not confine him­self to a mere description of the equipmentof this famous institution. Instead, he tellSabout its origin, its staff, and its functiO!1,and mentions some of the achievements Itlastronomical science that have been madethere. He then describes more or less ft1llythe. many homes that have been built a�ou111the' lake shore, glV111g often the stones 0the men who built them and the facts thatBOOK REVIEWS-GLEE CLUB CONTESTare associated with their erection and use.The Book of Lake Geneva helps in many�ays to complete the picture of the settling of� e Middle West and the casual reader will find.In i� a number of anecdotes of more than pass­IJng mterest. Of these, the weird story of James. Strang's attempt to found near Lake Gen­eh:a an independent "kingdom" is probablyt e most noteworthy. I t is only one ofthe many features of the volume that willcause it to be read and reread. The friendso� Lake Geneva are to be congratulated onthe. appearance of this fine book devoted tot err favorite resort.Loyal But BusyWhen the University of Chicago Foot­b.all Tickets Committee sent out applica­tron blanks to students and alumni, a schoolteacher in the far west received the litera­ture, which evidently she did not read care­fu��y, for she replied .:My loyalty to the University for thebenefits I received there is in no way dulledby the intervening years, and I would nothave' you think otherwise. I am too faraWay, however, to attend the Princetongame and actually too busy to help you sellany tickets, but I hope you have no diffi­cUlty in disposing of them." A Glee Club Contest(Continued from page 95)second, a song chosen by each club, andthird, a typical college song or medley ofcollege songs .Six years ago the Eastern glee clubsstarted such contests and they have been in­creasingly successful ever since. The win­ners have been Harvard, Princeton, Dart­mouth, and Pennsylvania, and Yale is ex­pected to come strong this year.In February of last year, Mr. H. H. Mattof the University of, Iowa sent letters to theBig Ten schools regarding the formation ofa Glee Club association among Westernschools. In May, Mr. A. F. Pickernell ofHarvard and Mr. W. S. Haskell of Yale,President and Vice-President respectivelyof the Eastern association, visited Chicagoand a meeting was called. The Westerncolleges that responded decided to go aheadwith the idea. Mr. Pickernell appointed Mr.Robert W. Stevens of the University of Chi­cago temporary chairman. A meeting wascalled for early June, twelve institutions re­sponding. Mr. Stevens was elected Presi­dent of the Association. Work was startedon detailed plans for' the Orchestra Hallcontest to be .held February 9. The localcommittee for the contest is composed ofChicago graduates representatives of eachschool sending a competing glee club. 107CHICAGO CALENDAR�����FOR 1923�����New DesignSix pages, two months on a page.Six beautiful hand-colored views.Unusual cover design-Vernon Howe Bailey's.Etching of Harper Memorial Tower.Cover of light tan color, tied with white silk cord.$1 .1 0 POSTPAID.Supply is limited.

It was reported that about 40of the Chicago Doctors in Botany were pres­ent on this occasion, and a very enthusiasticmeeting was held. This group is consider­ing the advisability of organizing as a Sec­tion of the Association of Doctors of Philos­ophy in a manner similar to that of theDoctors of Psychology last year. It seemsto be feasible and desirable to organize suchSection as soon as the group becomes largeenough to warrant a goodly number beingin attendance on occasions of scientific rne ,ings, such as this in Boston. The Doctor!'of the Department of Botany now numbersomething over 120 and this group is, there­fore, certainly large enough to form allactive and effective Section of the Associa­tion.Among the Chicago Doctors who hadprominent places on the program in Boston­were the following:Prof. Oswald Veblen, '03, of PrincetonUniversity, who delivered his retiring vice­presidential address before Section A (Math­ematics) of the Association.Prof. G.

Prof. Cross' book will consti�tute the first survey of all the evidence insupport of this hypothesis.Students of the medieval romances, whichaccording to Prof. Cross were the societynovels of the Middle Ages, are divided intotwo rival camps. One theory, which h;:!dits origin in the. University of Bonn inGermany, holds that these stories grew outof the German legends. Other students,among them Prof. Nitze, head of the de­partment of the Romance Languages atl.dLiteratures, maintains that their· origin 15Celtic.For example, it has been shown that thedescription of King Arthur's palace, o_t1which Tennyson based his description, !Slike certain accounts in little-known CeltICmanuscripts, and bears no resemblance tothe conceptions found in classical or Ger�manic literatures.Prof. Cross has collected all evidence ofthis sort for the first time in one work.Dean Henry G.

It is the same withNew York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and otherlarge eastern cities.The packing industry does not create this condi­tion; it solves it, for the live stock producer as wellas for the.consumer,Swift & Company, with its sanitary packinghouses adjacent to producing centers and by thedevelopment of refrigerated transportation, hashad a large part in solving the problem of gettingmeats across the thousands of miles separatingproducers and consumers.Swift & Company keeps a daily supply of fresh .meat moving ceaseleasiy to points where it isneeded.

The general purpose ofI these associations is to obtain legitimatepub licity on the Big Ten universities andto bring their great advantages in education,athletics, and general opportunities to theattention of desirable students, men andwomen, in their particular localities. Theseassociations have grown very rapidly andare now in a position to do, and are doing,excellent work for the Big Ten institutions­frequently in cooperation with such alumniclubs as may be in their cities. In this de­velopment a number of Chicago alumni havetaken prominent part.. .Last fall, dinner meetings were· held 11lCleveland, Detroit, .and other cities. A!the Cleveland meeting, Major John Griffith,who now heads the Western ConferenceAthletics organization, was the principalspeaker; he pointed out that during the sea­son just closed over 1,000,000 spectators hadwitnessed Western Conference footballteams in action. At St. Louis a Big" Tentheatre party was held in December. TheBig Ten alumni in Kansas City, as an­nounced in our December number, gave aholiday dinner-dance in the Brookside Hotelon December 29th, which was attended bygraduates, former students and undergrad­uates of the different institutions. Sam E,Busler, '14, was Chicago's representativeon this occasion. .In New York City, Los Angeles, Buffalo,Denver, Houston and other large citieS,these associations have held or are planningmeetings and alumni affairs. Frequentlyathletic directors, coaches, noted professors,and other representatives from the variousBig Ten schools are the "headliners" on theprogram. Undoubtedly as time goes on thesealumni organizations will. prove of greatbenefit and assistance to all the universitiesin the Western Conference.Other Alumni Club MeetingsOn December 8th the Milwaukee AlumniClub held a dinner at which JameSWeber ("Teddy") Linn was the guest ofhonor and speaker. A report of .this meet�ing wiII be published later.
