Dr. Burton enters upon his neWduties with a spirit of accomplishing definite progress and advancement for the Universityduring his administration.University of ChicagoMagazineTheVOL. xv No.4FEBRUARY, 1923�COMMENT�This number of the Magazine records aVery important milestone in the history of1> the University of Chicago. AsJresident recorded elsewhere in this num-l{Ud�on ber, President Harry Pratt. ehres Judson has resigned as Pr esi-r '. . dent of the University, hisresrgnatlon to take effect this month-Feb­',¥ar� 20, 1923..._,_on the sixteenth anniversary�,' . hIs service' to the University as Presi­Bent. On that date, also, Dr. Ernest De Wittt urton, by election by the Board of Trus­th_es, will take office as Acting President ofe University. ,d When Harry Pratt Judson became Presi­oe!1t sixteen years ago he brought to the� ffice a most thorough familiarity with thetl�ea.t p�rpose and fundamental objects ofa h mstItution, exceptional executive ability,a armonizing personality, and rare vision� to the needs and possibilities of a truly� eat university-an educational institution­in a\ should take rank among the foremostth t e world. Having been connected with!J. e University from the beginning as a de­y;rtrnent head and professor, serving forCa ars. as President Harper's close assistant,B: rrYIng on successfully, after PresidentYearper's death, as Acting President for twow·ars, his election to the Presidency was a�:se �nd merited one and placed the rapidlyan OWmg institution under the guidance ofto able leader at a critical time in its his­si;r The steady progress made in the lasttre een years-a progress often made ex­retl1lely difficult by the great war and itsha ardl11g aftermath, yet never ceasing­t.es�.Jul1y justified that election, and amplyI es to a most successful administration. In material progress-buildings, grounds,equipment, resources, incorne-c-this and p-re­vious numbers of the Magazine have pointedout many striking advances under PresidentJudson. These advances have been equaledin every way by advances in educationalachievemen t, higher standards, scholasticcontributions and distinctions, universityspirit, and general educational progress.Not only have the main plans, as outlinedby President Harper, been carried on, hutnew features and departments have beenadded from time to time that have notablybroadened the fields of endeavor undertakenby the University, and in addition, withkeen, far-seeing vision, President Judsonhas laid foundations and pointed the clearway for advancement for generations tocome.In the latter years of his administrationthe University had grown so large, its in­terests and demands on his time so manyand varied, that he could not, much as hewould have liked to, keep in close touch withthe thousands of students and hundreds offaculty members and administrative officials.As one result, he has occasionally been mis­judged as a man who preferred to remainaloof from personal contact. But on thatpoint we can call on the Daily Maroonwhich, in a recent editorial on his work,justly states:"The world of education knows of theseexecutive capabilities, but is not so familiarwith his lovable personality. He has attimes been censured by non-thinkers forlack of direct association with the under­graduates, but those who know the time hemust necessarily spend in the pursuit of his125126 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHlCAGO MAGAZINEduties realize that he has acted far moreadmirably in this respect than one mightreasonably expect. Despite his limited timehe has conducted a class in' internationallaw. He has frequently talked to groupsof undergraduates at informal meetings andbanquets. ,"The most pleasant phase of this wholeaffair is that President Judson is to becomePresident Emeritus, and will be for the re­mainder of his life connected with our Uni­versity. He will, we hope, live to see allthat he has hoped, planned and worked-for."_It should, therefore, be clear to anyonethat, despite his many and pressing duties,President Judson has kept in personal touchwith' students as well as the circumstancespermitted. In this connection, it should beadded, Mrs. Judson has, during the entiresixteen years, held open house regularly toall members of the University, and itt that:way, as well as at countless receptions andother social occasions, most graciously actedas hostess to the University community,and ably assisted the President in maintain­ing a truly pleasant' and hospitable sociallife on the quadrangles.As to the alumni, President Judson hasmade it a point of keeping in touch withthem as often as possible. He has notmissed attending a single June reunion insixteen years; he has missed but two orthree of the Annual Football dinners heldin, Chicago these many years, and then be­cause of unavoidable absence; indeed, onseveral of these and similar occasions, hehas hurriedly traveled hundreds of miles tobe present; he has, at times, attendedAlumni Council meetings; he has addressedour alumni clubs on every occasion whenhe could arrange to attend; and in otherways, always eager to know about thealumni, he has kept up quite close contactwith them. Noone is more pleased than heto learn of alumni progress, whether as toan individual or as to the alumni organiza­tion.Alumni everywhere, we are sure, sincerelyregret that the weight of years now compelhis retirement, and' most deeply appreciatethe great services of President Judson totheir Alma Mater. Thirty-two years ofservice-sixteen years as President! Trulythat is a contribution to the University, andthrough the University to life and humanityin general, of which any man may well beproud. In the history of the University andof higher education in general the name ofHarry Pratt Judson will be long and grate­fully remembered. At this time the Alumniextend to our President Emeritus their pro­found appreciative thanks for his untiringlabors in behalf of the University of Chi­cago, and wish him good health so that hemay live to see some of the grea t University projects which he initiated brought torealization.* * *The, University of Chicago has been mostfortuna te in Its Presidential leaders. Thenames of Harper and JudsonActing already stand for the creationPresident and advancement of a trulyBurton great university. This monthanother name will be added tothe list of our leaders-the name of ErnestDe Witt Burton, who becomes Acting Presl­dent, on February 20th.Professor Burton, a life-long friend ofPresident Harper and close associate ofPresident Judson, is a scholar of interna;tiona I reputation in his field, an educator ofwide observation, and an experienced andaccomplished administrator. For thirteeHyears he has been Director of Libraries of the'University, a department which employs a.staff of over 100 persons and involves alarge annual budget. It was he who de­vised the plan of uniting the Humanitieslibrary under one roof with the Genera1library in Harper by bridging the third floorlevels.As chairman of the Oriental EducationalCommission of. the University he visitedChina in 1908 and 1909, and investigated theeducational conditions and institutions ofthat country; his survey extended to Japanand India. He visited China as chairmanof the Foreign Mission Conference of N ortbAmerica in 1921 and 1922, and the reportof that commission, largely written by Dr.Burton, will have a profound effect upoPthe educational development of that countryf•He has been chairman of the Board 0Education of the Northern Baptists C�n�ve ntion since 1912. This has brought ht1!ldin touch. with the educational needs ansituation in all parts of the north. "Pro�fessor Burton has a really extraordinarYknowledge," says Secretary E. J. Good�speed, "derived from personal observationof educational conditions all over the world.It is with this wealth' of experience that wetakes up his duties as administrator 'of theUniversity at the beginning of a greatperiod of advance." .Anyone acquainted with Dr. Burton, hISpast achievements, and energetic abilitie'S,will appreciate at once tnat his election �sActing President is a happy one. B!Sspeech of acceptance, printed elsewhere 1nthis number, shows clearly-what everyonewho knows him expected-that would llQ'tlook upon his administration as merely a"marking time" period.

Thirty years ago, whenthe institution was organized, he held theposition of Professor and Head of the De­partment of Political Science and Dean ofthe faculties of Arts, Literature and Science,an office which he filled until his election tothe presidency, in 1907.Brief Biography of President JudsonPresident Emeritus Harry Pratt Judsonwas born at Jamestown, N. Y., on Dec, 20,1849. He was awarded his A. B. degree in1870 at Williams college and was also electedto the honorary fraternity of Phi- BetaKappa. At Williams he was a member' of128 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEPresident Emeritus Harry Pratt Judson.the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity. He re­ceIved the degree of A. M. from his almamater in 1883 and that of LL.D. in 1893.The same degree was conferred upon himlater by Queen's University of Canada, Uni­versity of Iowa, Washington University,Western Reserve University, Harvard, andMichigan.After his graduation from .college, he be­came principal of Troy, N. Y., high school,a position which he occupied for fifteenyears. In 1879 he was married to RebeccaA. Gilbert of Troy, N. Y. In 1885 he wascalled to the University of Minnesota to as­sume the duties of Professor. of History,which position he held until 1892.Upon the death of President WilliamRainey Harper in 1906, Dr. Judson waschosen by the Board of Trustees to serveas Acting President. At the conclusion of atwo years probationary period, he wasdeclared to "have made good" and wasunanimously elected by the Trustees to theposition of chief executive.Surrounded by the turmoil of leading abig university, he yet has found time to serveupon the boards of two beneficent founda­tions, the General Education Board and theRockefeller Foundation. In 1914, as chair­man of the China Medical commission, hemade an exhaustive study of the health con­ditions in. China. As a result of his investi­gation and upon his recommendation, thegreat hospital in Pekin was erected. He isthe author of a number of important articlesand special studies.During the war, as a representative of theNear East Relief and in co-operation with(the United States State Department, Presi­dent Judson visited Persia and other coun­tries of the Near East. Announcement of Retirement-Dr. BurtonElected Acting PresidentHarold H. Swift, President of the, Board ofTrustees, made the following address at th�meeting of the Senate:"Ladies and gentlemen of the Senate:"The President has called this s'pecialmeeting, of the Senate so that we might ad­vise you' Of some new developments in' theUniversity before the information goes tothe press."As you know, President Judson has de­sired to be relieved from his responsibilityfor some time and a committee of the Boardhas been working on the matter for a year.and in co-operation with a committee frornthe Senate since last Spring."Certain technical requirements and our, high opinion of the office make the positionextremely difficult to fill."Meanwhile, Presiden t Judson has aske.dto be relieved on the 16th anniversary of hISelection to the presidency, which will beFebruary 20:_a period of signal service frornthe beginning of the University."While our problem is not solved for -thenext 30 years as we had hoped, the cotJ1�mittees of the Senate and of the Board wereable unanimously to go to the Board with arecommendation which we feel will handfethe situation adequately for whatever perio.dshall seem best. The two committees unandmously were of the opinion and the Boarhas unanimously voted to offer the positionof Acting President to Professor Ernest D·Burton, and he has accepted."Naturally the questions arise in yOt1�mind : What does this appoin tmen t mea?·What will be the status of the UniversItYduring the period? And, How long a tirnewill it cover?"These are legitimate questions. EverYperson who has known of the plan has aske�them and the one to ask them most emphatI­cally was Mr. Burton himself."The answer to the second question-BoWlong a period? is that we are not going tobe hurried into this momentous decisio{1·We want to feel, and none more stronglythan Mr. Burton himself, that when tlFCright man for a long pull appears, we maYact. ,But we don't expect it to be at all iffl­mediate."The answer to the first question is easieriWe have said to Mr. Burton that we wa1_lhim to consider his position as President 111fact and not to regard the election as merelynominal now as a period of marking time.In the acting presidency we want to emph�­size the first part of the adjective, and it 15on this challenge that Mr. Burton has 3;'('cepted the election."We expect an active administration. weexpect forward-looking policies. We haPithat the financial condition may be such tnawe may make real progress. I hasten t1add as a matter of self protection thatJUDSON RETIRES-BURTON ACTING PRESIDENThave no millions up my sleeve, but by natuream hopeful and believe hard work accom­plishes wonders."So, ladies and gentlemen of the Senate,I. bespeak your hearty and active co-op era­t!on. As Mr. Burton calls upon you forhme and counsel, I ask you to give bothfreely and willingly that we may proceed toan ever greater University."Dr. Burton Accepts Acting PresidencyActing President Burton replied to Mr.Barold Swift's address after the latter hadannounced the appointment:"I have a keen sense of the magnitude ofkhe task and the responsibility which . theoard of Trustees is laying upon me. Thehast history of the University has been anonorable and a notable one. Each of thetwo administrations, which together havehovered the thirty-one years of our history.t1�'s been marked by great achievements-alle greater that the two presidents and thetwo administrations have been in certain re­SD�cts markedly different.I have a very deep sense of the valueof the work which President Judson hasdone in solidifying and strengthening, asWell as in extending, the work of the U ni­ve .h' rSlty. I have often spoken of it both totrn and to others.th "But it is, of course, chiefly of the futurea� I am thinking today. For much re­liaIns to be done. I well recall Presidentharper telling me of certain things that hefDed would be done in his lifetime, somek Which have not yet been done. We all/ow of certain great plans which Presidentudson has had in his heart, and which he�onfidently hoped would be fulfilled in hisday. But the great war came in and, to hisa eep regret and to ours, they are not yetc�ol_l1plished.Sunply to carry into effect what these�reat men have planned and left undoneb ould be a large ambition. But we shouldtho unworthy of them if we did no more thann IS •• As we look to the future, I ;vould setSb hr11!ts to our hopes and expectations, We'\V alII have our own dreams and plans, as<;,1 as those which we inherit.t It has of course occurred to you that my"errn of office must be a short one, and Ipro .U dmlse you now that I shall not endeavorth uly to prolong it.

One of the first questions thatthPut to Mr. Swift and Mr. Ryerson wasto IS, 'If I accept this office, do you wish mePe �ark time or are we to begin a greatan rlod of advance?' They both said at onceun� decidedly, the latter. It is with thisIi erstanding that I take up my work.rn °Wever short my term of office may be,any of you will be here for years, and I 129President Judson at the Harper MemorialLibrary Dedication.understand that together we are about toenter upon a period which we hope andexpect will be one of marked advance, shar­ing the characteristics of both the precedingperiods."And this brings me to what I most wantto say today. This is to our work. TheTrustees have signified their desire for anentente cordia le between themselves and theFaculties by inviting the co-operation of aCommittee of this body on the matter ofthe presidency. I am convinced that ourfurther co-operation with them ought to benot of the Acting President only, not of theSenate only, but of the whole Faculty. Ithink we might well for a time turn theSenate into an open forum for the discus­sion of questions of far reaching policy. Iam thinking not so much of legislation as ofdiscussion which shall enlarge horizons, en­able each of us to take into view the wholework of the University, clarify our viewsand issue in definitions of policy. I hopethat you will be willing to make the sacri­fices of time and energy that will be neces­sary to give the highest value to our discus­sions."In conclusion, I wish again to expressto President Judson, my chief and my friend,my deep appreciation of his great servicesto the "University and to pledge to Mr. Swift,to the Board of Trustees, and to you, all thepower and capacity I possess for the ab­sorbingly interesting and important workthat lies before us."130 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE+"_III1__:'nfl�""_IIM_"H�IIII_nll_:";IIII_IIII_IIII_II"_1I11_"II_1111�111I-I!N-IIII-IIH-ItIl-IIII-IIII-IIII-IIH-IIH __ IIII_IIII_1IH-IIII-IIM-II,t! .

Of these, 217 weregraduate students, approximately 29· per centof the .total number. This was an encourag­ing beginning of the work of a real uni­versity, and the spirit of devotion to the newidea was very strong. Indeed an excep-·tional body of men and women were gath­ered at the outset.Among these graduate students in 1892-93, may be noted the names of FrederickIves Carpenter, well known later as a valuedmember of our faculty; R. c.. H. Catterall,afterward a distinguished professor in Cor­nell University; E .. J. Goodspeed, H. F.Mallory, F. R. Lillie, Myra Reynolds, T. G.Soares, J. W. Thompson, Elizabeth Wallace,H. L. Willett, and H, E. Slaught, now mem­bers of our Faculty. I find also the namesof H. R. Hatfield, now professor in the U ni­versity of California; E. H. Lewis, professorin Lewis Institute, Chicago; W. B. Owen,principal of the Chicago Normal School andpresident of the National Education Asso­ciation; George E. Vincent, long a valuedmember of our Faculty and now presidentof the Rockefeller Foundation; Otto Folin,professor of biological chemistry at HarvardUniversity.The total number of students in the Uni­versity during the year 1921-22 was 12,439.Of course this included the Summer Quarterof 1920, whereas the attendance in 1892-93covered only the Autumn, Winter, andSpring . quarters. The Autumn Quarter,1921, showed an attendance of. 6,154, whichis not far from the normal number in at­tendance in anyone quarter. Of these 6,154,there were 1,511 graduate students, a per­centage of 24.5. The proportion of graduatestudents to the total number in attendancehas not varied very far from 25 per centsince the first year.The Number of AlumniThe first degrees given by the Universitywere in June at the end of the Spring Quar­ter, 1893, thirty-one in all. Of these, onewas a Doctorate of Philosophy given to aJapanese student. In the year 1921-22 thetotal. number of degrees given by the Uni- versity was 1,365, of which 96 were Doc�torates of. Philosophy. During the thirtyyears the University has given degrees to14,531 persons. Of these, 1,397 are Doctorsof Philosophy.. It may be added that the total number ofpersons receiving degrees from the begiwning of the University work in 1892 up to,and including, the end of the Autumn Quarfter of 1905 was 3,003. The total number 0persons receiving degrees from January 1,1906, up to, and including, June, 1922, haibeen 11,528, of whom 1,018 are Doctors 0Philosophy.What the University Has Already Plannedfor the Immediate Future and for WhichCertain Funds Have Been Provided1.

Being her­self a Chicago graduate,and having been one of the earlier"Shanty" students-she is, by the way, anofficial in the Shanty organization-shebrought to her work full appreciation ofthe problems of the women students, andsympathetically set about" to assist them,Concerning her work as dean, Mrs. FlintSays:'IT''My appetite for the work does not flag.vVhen it does, when the individual studentbecomes to me just a student, not a per­sonality; when my work as dean seems ton:e to be merely the operation of certaintec:s of mechanism, then I shall qui.t.ntil that time-and I hope I may diebefore it comes-I expect to find, as I havefCou_nd in the past, that in the University of, hlcago is the place I want most in theWor!d to be.

The current listof the University Press includes nearly 1,000books and monographs. The publicity ofthe Press,. which is aggressive, varied, andefficient, is the 'best kind of University pub-licity. .The University publishes nine scientificand learned journals with a total circulationof something over 10,000 copies. Their cir­culation is international, and they reach theleaders of thought and research in theirseveral fields all over the' world. 0 In thisdepartment of its publicity, the Universityis not surpassed in this country.The University publishes annually 30 Cir­culars, Bulletins, and Announcements. Thetotal circulation. of these is nearly 200000.�n addi�ion to these; the Annual Regist�r isIssued m 1,300 copies, and the President'sReport in 1,000.The University publishes quarterly amagazine of about 70 pages called "TheUniversity Record," containing an officialrecord. of the life of the U niversity for thepreceding quarter. It is distributed toabout 1,000 friends of the University-fac­ulty, trustees, donors and alumni. 0The University issues weekly a News Let­ter containing short items of Universitynews suitable for newspaper use, and sent to550 newspapers. Through the departmentsof the University, a system has been set upfor securing news of the departments for theNews Letter,There are also occasional special items ofpublicity, such as "The University 'of Chi­.f:ago in 1921," a booklet of which 12000copies. have been distributed, chiefly' toalumni: and "The University of Chicago.Biographical Sketches, Volume 1," some 900copies of which have been distributed to'friends of the University and leading resi-dents of Chicago. .Through the Secretary to the President,direct. contact with the daily papers, theASSOCIated Press, and other news gathering.agencies is maintained through interviewsand communications from this Office.Beside these official forms of publicity,the 'University receives an immense amountof publicity through the publications ofmembers of the faculty in the form of bookeTHE LETTER BOXand articles published in this - country andabroad. The number of these titles for thePast year has been more than 450.. Theactivity of the faculty in publication is one� .the .most remarkable things about then1verslty .. In any comprehensive program of pub­I�Clty, the significance of student publica­lI?ns like the Maroon, the Circle, the Phoe­nne, and Cap and Gown must be included,aI' nd of course University athletics, particu-arly football, gives rise to a great amountof publicity for that side of the University'sWork."Alumni publicity naturally begins withThe University of Chicago Magazine,"PUblished by the Alumni Council, with a cir­CUlation of over 3,60.0., but it is impossibleto measure alumni publicity, or to set limitsto it. The other day an alumnus publishedan extended historical account of the Uni­v�rsity, with illustrations, in a weekly paperWIth a circulation of 1,0.0.0.,0.0.0. copies.This hasty survey of University publicitytnay help to a better understanding of whatthe University is doing in these directions.Truly yours,Edgar J.

Goodspeed, Secretary to the President, reofutes certain widely-circulated statements concerningthe University's athletic policy and clarifies the statusof distribution of football tickets:"Chicago, Jan. 1. - Certain statementsmade in The Tribune of Dec. 31 as to thefootball plans of the University of Chicagocall for prompt correction. It is not a factthat the' University has adopted the Har­vard' system of football ticket distribution.The systems of Princeton, Pennsylvania,Harvard, Yale, and Columbia have all beenfreshly studied by a Chicago representative,but no one of these has been or is likely tobe adopted by Chicago. The system fol­lowed last season has not proved a failure.It is, in fact, regarded as a notable success.The charge that it broke down under thepul! of favoritism is quite groundless. Thesystem given out in the article in questionas the new Chicago system has not beenadopted or considered by the tickets com­mittee' or by any University, body."The recent inquiries of the committeehave been made solely in the 'effort to find,if possible, a still more equitable methodof distributing football tickets among bothalumni and other citizens. That the Chi­cago public is to be excluded from thegames in the future is neither planned, de­sired, or dreamed of. Instead, the Univer­sity is devising ways of accommodatingmore of them at its games than ever before.The .University is desirous, as it has alwaysbeen, of opening its facilities of every sortto the citizens of Chicago just as far as itsresources permit.Edgar J. Goodspeed."Invitation from American University UnionThe American University Union, withwhich the University of Chicago is con­nected as a subsribing institution, cordiallyinvites students and graduates visiting Eu­rope, to make use of the facilities offered atthe Union offices at 1 rue de F1eurus, Paris,and 50 Russel Square, London, W.

As usual "Old M�n Ineligible" is on theJob, and with the aid of "Doc Flu" has suc­ceeded in making the athletic situation on thecampus somewhat dismal.' Both haveclaimed prominent, as well as promising menas their victims despite the numerous effortsmade to minimize their effects. These fac­tors have been highly significant in thepresent season. In general the Varsity�ea.ms have developed at a rapid rate, andhi IS more than likely that a few will finishIgh in the Conference standing at the endof the season. Late in January, Director A.A.. Stagg returned to the campus from a twomonths' stay at Orlando, Fla., and assumedc�)Utrol of the athletic affairs of the U niver­SIty. At present he is actively engaged incoaching the Freshman and Varsity trackSquads.Varsity Basketballb Since the last writing the Varsity basket-all team has found itself. Instead of beinga hopeless aggregation it has developed intoa five of real ability. Steadily, since thehPening of the Big Ten season, the quintet�s shown more power, and at the present�1.ds fair to upset some of the leaders in theIg Ten race. The majority of the creditfOr this sensational development of a squadIf green men into a representative team be-Ongs to Coach Nelson Norgren who hasWorked incessantly with the men since thestart of the season. He is jubilant at the��owing of the men and is confident thatey will finish above the .500 mark., ThePla�ing of Joe Duggan at the running guardPOsItion and the shifting of Capt. Yardleyto the center position has been largely in­strumental in the success of the Chicagoentry. Both of these men are playing first�lass basketball, Duggan being 'adept at pass­bng t�e ball and Yard�ey being active inreakmg up the enemy s offense."V In the first game away ;freri'i "'home the�rsity met defeat at the han dseofvthe for­ildable \Visconsin five by the scor erof 22-11;ebell and Williams, the Badger guards,�ere the main reasons for the Cardinal vic..;'1ry, their close guarding being the featureo the contest.

' , " " ,Featured by the excellent performances of Dickson, Barnes and Duggan the Varsitycage team succeeded in bagging their initialBig Ten victory of the season by defeatingthe Ohio State quintet 34-30 in Bartlettgymnasium. The game was exciting fromstart to finish, being full of brilliant longshots and fast work under the hoop. Dick­son was high scorer for the Maroons, con­tributing nine field goals to the Varsityscore. The victory was well deserved andshowed that Norgren's men were comingup to Big Ten standard.Losing 22-9 at the end of the first half,the Maroons rallied in the second period butwere forced to take the short end of a 32-23score in a fast game with the Purdue quinteton the Bartlett floor. The close' guarding ,ofthe visiting guards was the main reason forthe V arsity defeat.Although they played the best game ofthe season the Varsity lacked sufficient. power to check the offensive rushes of theHawkeyes and lost their fourth Big Tengame by the score of 20-12 on the Iowafloor. The Maroons completely outplayedthe Hawkeyes, who incidentally were settingthe pace in the Big Ten race during the firsthalf, but long shots by the Iowa forwardsspelled their downfall.Varsity Track Team.With two victories over Big Ten teamsto their credit the track team now loomsup as a contender for Conference honors.Since the beginning of the season it has dis­played a power that speaks well for the out­door season. In comparison with Varsitytrack teams of the past five years it maybe considered as the best of the lot. Byler,a pole vaulter, Ritenhouse and Russell, thelatter one of the best high jumpers seenin Bartlett in the past decade, are at presentout of competition due to illness and inel­igibility. Jim Pyott, captain-elect of thefootball team, was forced to give up indoortrack work upon the advice of his physician.'111. Capt. Egil Krogh, middle distance run­ner, and "Jack" Brickman, hurdler, the Ma­roons have two of the best per-formers in theBig Ten. In the Northwestern meet Kroghestablished a new mile record for the Bart­lett track, and Brickman has won all of hisraces in handy fashion.

Building costshave enormously increased and the cost ofliving is much greater. The architect ofthe hospital has : completed most admirableplans for a teaching hospital and labora­tories in connection with the medical workin the Quadrangles. But the cost of build­ing has more than doubled since 1917, andit is obvious that in order to initiate theenterprise properly the present fund - mustbe greatly enlarged. .2. For the housing of the DivinitySchool, a fund of $300,000 has been givenby one donor and a fund of $50,000 by Mrs.Joseph Bond. The first fund is to providean adequate lecture hall for the school andthe second, an accompanying chapel. Theplans' for these buildings have been com­pleted, and as soon as building conditionswarrant construction will proceed.3. Part of the $10,000,000 final gift of Mr.Rockefeller is the sum of $1,500,000 for theUniversity chapel. This building the Boardof Trustees has planned to erect on the landeast - of the President's house, lying well��ck from Fifty-ninth Street. The architect,J.Ylf. Bertram Goodhue, of New York, has:nade an interesting plan. The enormousIncrease in building costs has made it in­idvisable to proceed with this matter alsoor the present time.4. In 1918 Mr. Andrew MacLeish, of theBoard of Trustees, gave the University�100,000 which may be used for an admin­Is�ration building. This building, of course,WIll cost much more than that under presentConditions, but would be a great relief tothh· e very extensive. administrative work oft e University in many of its branches.'What the University Needs in Addition andfor Which Funds Are not at PresentProvided1. The plan of the School of Educationfalls for three supplementary buildings, onethr the college and graduate school, one fort e. �econdary school, and one for physicalramIng.b12. The Board of Trustes has set aside aock of land on the north side of the Mid­�ay and east of Cottage Grove Avenue, for. esearch in the Department of Botany. This�nvolves a small laboratory with suitablev reenhouses and gardens. This would in­i�olve probably not a very large sum, butof order to carry out the interesting worka . the Department it should be obained atn early date.in 3. The prosecution of research, the train­ap'? l?f research students, and especially thear P I�ation of chemistry and physics to �hein ts Involve the necessity of another buJ1d-­- '? which may very properly be erected 1'43west of Kent Chemical Laboratory. Thisis a development of those departments whichshould also include the Department ofMathematics; and this again is of immediatepressing importance.4. The University has not yet developedits school of technology, although that waspart of the original plan at the very outset.The most important service in that greatfield would come from the establishment ofa graduate institute of technology, in whichapplications may be made to the industrialarts of the body of scientific knowledge pro-­duced by our departments of pure science.The building last mentioned might be usedfor this purpose.I have said a "graduate institute" for thisreaS011: unless funds are provided and allo­cated specifically to the work of researchand graduate instruction- income from en­dowments is apt to be drawn off by necessityof the case for work of inferior importancebut which must be cared for. One of theoriginal gifts of Mr. Rockefeller was $1,000,-000, the income of which was to be used fora graduate school. The great extension ofgraduate work already in existence, and thefurther extension which should be providedin the future, of course call for a muchgreater endowment. A million dollars forgraduate instruction seems a large sum, butits income of $40,000 or $50,000, after all,does not go very far in covering the vastfield of science.Of course, an undergraduate school of tech­nology in the Quadrangles would have theadvantage of the" existing great departmentsof undergraduate instruction.. Mathematics,physics, chemistry, English, history, physicaltraining, are all highly developed. A rea­sonable provision for buildings and theirequipment, and a proper staff- to providetechnological instruction in civil, electrical,and mechanical engineering present noserious difficulty. It has been understoodthat when the time should come these build­ings would occupy the Midway front on thenorth side, and west of Ellis Avenue, thuslinking up with the botany research block onCottage Grove Avenue.5. Provision has not yet been made forthe two library buildings east and west ofHarper, respectively, for which the presentcondition of the library makes pressing de­mand.Some' Results of ResearchThe emphasis laid by the University uponresearch and experiment continues -to pro­duce interesting results in various fields. Afew may be mentioned here ..- In the School of Education, the work ofthe Laboratory Schools has been: so re­arranged and co-ordinated with that of theJunior College as to save. approximately twoyears. of time. Elaborate investigations inthe development of reading and handwriting(Continued on page 156)144 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINESchool of EducationA Program in Art Education,Walter SargentThe present is a particularly favorabletime for mapping out a program in art edu­-cation, because teachers of art in elemen­tary and high schools are expressing adesire to carryon some .systematic investi­gations of aims, methods, tests, and stand­ards, by means of special committees.In order to forward this movement theDepartment of Art Education has been giv­ing special attention recently to the de­velopment of a program. In doing this wehave assumed that the program needed isone which is, so far as possible, based onneeds involved in the normal experiencesof living. Particular consideration is beinggiven to means of adapting the work to therequirements of each of two classes; first,people whose interest in the arts will alwaysbe general and, second, those who will takeup: some line of art as a vocation.The program indicates the main divisionsof subject-matter which seem to be inactual demand, the chief objectives of eachdivision, the particular types of skill re­quired, and the methods most iikely todevelop the desired attainments. In so faras data are available a summary is beingmade of what has already been accomplishedalong the lines under consideration andwhere reports of results may be found, andalso suggestions as to the fields for newinvestigations.The divisions of subject-matter includedare:I. Drawing. (a) In connection withscience study, (b) in connection with in­dustrial arts, and (c) as a means of pictorialexpression.II. Design. (a) Structural design, and(b) decorative design.III.. Development of appreciation of thefine arts .without technical training.IV. The training of special teachers ofart.V. A brief bibliography on art education.The need of better methods is being urgedparticularly in two of these divisions,namely, drawing as a means of pictorial ex­pression, and the development of apprecia­tion and capacity for enjoyment of the finearts without technical training. Thereforea more detailed discussion of these two ishere presented.In connection with pictorial drawing theprogram brings up for consideration theneed of a study of that alternation of at­tention which occurs when one draws fromnature. The attention appears to move back and forth between two fields; first, theimpressions received directly from theobject which is being drawn; second, one'sstore of knowledge about objects of .thatgeneral structural type. For example, indrawing a chair, We must record from theobject actually in sight the relative lengthsand slants of certain lines, which will indi­cate the proportions of the particular chairbefore us and the angle at which it is seen.These cannot be deduced from generaltypes. The proportions vary with everystyle of chair and the apparent slants changewith every shift of viewpoint. When thesehave been established we can turn from thechair before us, and on the basis of a knowl­edge of rectangular solidity can completeits general lines of construction so that theyrepresent a piece of consistent geometricstructure which does not violate the prin­ciples of rectangular perspective.Logically it would seem as if one trainedto observe and record proportions anddirections of lines could make a correctdra wing from the chair merely by repre­senting each line successively as it appearsto the eye. Practically this is impossible.The ability to record the facts of form aspresented immediately to the eye must beaccompanied by a developed concept of con­sistent rectangular solidity, which willrecognize violations or distortions in thedrawing even when the object is not presentfor comparison.We have then two fairly distinct mentalprocesses involved in the drawing of thechair; a noting of certain facts of propor­tion and position which can be obtainedonly from what is present to the eye, andan organization of these facts into a geo­metric consistency which can be done per­fectly well if the object is not present. Violacitions of this consistency can be detectefrom the drawing alone by a draughtsmanother than the one who drew from theactual chair. To complete the drawing,now roughly comparable to the structuralframework of a building, we turn again tothe object to learn individual items; thethickness or slenderness of supports, thearrangement of rungs, etc. These in turnmust be brought into coherent strucWr"!'lrelations by attention to the. internal eVI­dence of the drawing itself.What is true of the chair, here used asan illustration, is true of most other objectf·In order to draw an animal or tree or lea,skill in recording lines and relative prQ��.SCHOOL OF EDUCATION NOTESportions is not sufficient. There must be aknowledge of the whole scheme of vitalorganization of which these lines and pro­portions are details. Even in effects whichdo not deal primarily with definite formsbut with more elusive factors as, for ex­ample, illumination and shadow. certainbroad generalizations exist which are in­terpretative of particular manifestations.Whether the forms are objects on a tableor mountains in the landscape. a similarityin the behavior of lights and shadows willbe observable when the light is. on thefarther side of the objects, which broadlydifferentiates this effect from that whichOCcurs when the objects are seen againstthe light. Each of these in turn variescharacteristically from what is observableWhen the light is at the side.In order then to teach pictorial drawingeconomically and formulate any genuine testof attainment, we need to determine some­What carefully the range of facts whichrnust be obtained directly from the objectat the time of drawing, and those which�ust be supplied by a developed mentalIrnage of the type to which the particularo�ject belongs. We will then know thedIfferent kinds of skill needed and be betterable to plan a direct systematic trainingalong both lines. .In recording the main items of direct per­ception, the beginner requires ability tor�present the direction and relative propor­hon of lines, the character of curves, theaPParent direction of foreshortened lines,and ability .to match colors. Tests of theseabilities can be made perfectly definite andObjective. They are seldom proposed inany scheme of tests for drawing becausethey are regarded as too mechanical to be�ssocia ted with art. Nevertheless they areundamentally important.'In order to relate these items of directPerception from any object, in a drawingw�ich is an organic whole, the student re­qUI�es ability to sketch from memory the�alU characteristics of that type of struc­. Ure. This ability results from experiencesIn which drawing from memory plays al�brge part. Tests of this ability will prob­a ly. never be so definite or easily applied�.s those of actual directions and propor-\ons of lines, but tests of this type havei ready been made workable. The basictterpretative types of structure necessarynor a range of drawing sufficient for allc eeds of elementary schools, and in mostoases of high schools, are not over twelver fifteen in number.v A. second question regarding which in­ti eShgation is particularly needed is how toh evelop enjoyment of the fine arts and ofine�uty In nature without technical trainingin .. rawl11g. However much technical tram­W1hrnay contribute, it is possible to go farlout it. Probably making blue prints 145of leaves and arranging flowers in tastefulbouquets may contribute as much to ap­preciation of their beauty in elementaryschools where representation is crude asdoes actual drawing. In household art inhigh schools, discriminating judgment canbe developed by discussion and choice ofactual materials. The collector in any linebecomes a good judge in this way if hehas the capacity. Courses in history of artin high schools have proved their contribu­tion towards increased enjoyment. In re­plies to questions regarding reasons forenjoyment of works of art, actual technicalexperience in drawing has slight mention.The route by which the technical specialistarrives at enjoyment and appreciation ofart may not be, indeed it probably is not, theway by which people to whom art willalways be a secondary matter can mosteasily come. But because art is taughtlargely by specialists their avenue is usuallythe only one presented.The topics here given will indicate thegeneral trend of the program which is beingprepared by the Department.SCHOOL OF EDUCATION NOTES+"_III1_IUI_IIII_IlIi_III1_lill_III1_I1!I_IIII_IIII_IIN_IIII_;_IIIt_II+,t University of Chicago Dinner Ii Cleveland Hotel, Cleveland, Ohio, 1i February 28, 19�3. 1i All School of Education Alumni Welcome! 1+11-1111_1111-1111-1111-1111-1111-1111-1111-1111-1111-1111-."_1111-11':-Under the title, "Studies in SecondaryEducation, I," the University High Schoolpresents some of its practices in the ad­ministration of pupils and in the organiza­tion of instruction.

Moodie(The University of Chicago Press)For a number of years the University ofChicago Press has been publishing at intervalslittle maroon-bound volumes in the Universityof Chicago Science Series. They are designedto present in concise form the story of signifi­cant scientific· experiments. For the. generalreader who does not want too technical anaccount, and for the scientist who is seekingcomplete information that perhaps has hither­to been widely scattered in short papers, thesevolumes have had a wide appeal. Several of.them, such as Chamberlin's. Origin of theEarth) Millikan's The Electron, and Newman'sBiology of Twins) have become well knownthe world over, and two have been publishedin foreign countries.The latest addition to this series is The An­tiquity of Disease) by Roy L. Moodie. It isfrankly an attempt to describe the mass ofevidence found in fossil vertebraes and in thebones of ancient man relative to the appear­ance and spread of disease on the earth. Thestory that it tells is a curiously fascinating onethat will provide the reader with many. newpictures of prehistoric life. Dr. Moodie, whois a member of the faculty -of the Universityof Illinois College of Medicine, was the edi­tor of The Palaeopathology of Egypt) by thelate Sir Marc Armand Ruffer, a distinguishedEuropean scientist.In The Antiquity of Disease) Dr. Moodieshows that while bacteria have been presenton the earth for thousands of years, being pos­sibly brought by meteorites from distantplanets, disease can be definitely traced backonly to the early Paleozoic period. From thattime on, however, though for many years onlya minor and unimportant factor in the life ofanimals. and man, disease became graduallymore common, particularly in the higher formsof life.. The fossil records that have been studiedgive many interesting sidelights on the habitsof life of the creatures' on the earth, and thepathological conditions that are still in evi­dence in the ancient bones offer, in the opinionof the author, many bases for the further study of the diseases that still baffle medicalscience. These records are difficult of accessand are not indicative of possible diseases thathad no effect on the bones, but they suggestmuch to the man who reads them carefully.I Dr. Moodie's book will appeal to the gen­eral reader most strongly in the last threechapters, in which he describes the diseasesand injuries evidenced in fossil men and theprimitive forms of surgery that were evolvedto combat them. He describes the evidences ofprehistoric operations and constructs veryskillfully from them a picture of the surgicalmethods employed. Particularly interesting isthe following description of an early Peruvianmedicine man's attempt to release from theskull of a diseased woman the demons thatwere thought to be possessing her:"By the use of our powers of imaginationwe see in pre-Columbian times, in a secludedspot in the highlands of Peru, a primitiveblanket- or skin-clad shaman holding the headof this demented woman on his knee whilehe very roughly cuts her scalp with a flintknife, first a long anteroposterior incision, thentransversely across the obelion in the form ofa Latin cross. Near by on a slow, wood fireis an earthen pot containing the fat of allama. Close to the operator's hand lies atwisted rope of vegetable fiber. As soon as theincisions -are made the surgeon tenses -the scalpso as to make the wound gape, then with thewisp of vegetable fiber he applies some of thebubbling oil to the wound. The applicationof boiling oil to the wound would result in aninstant and hearty response, and the patientwould have an instant,. though possible tempo­rary, relief from the demon of insanity. Theshaman, still holding the patient's head, urgingher to control her wild yells of pain, appliesto the cauterized wound a quid of coca, whichhe had been quietly chewing _ during the opera­tion; and binds it in place with cooling leavesby means of dirty strips of blanket or othercloth. The riotous inf.ection which followedgave rise to the pathology which is present onthe skull, but the woman recovered and livedmany years after the healing of her surgicalwound. There is no indication that she eve!'had another attack of melancholia. The mem­ory of the boiling oil was too vivid.".

The only object of college-entrance conditions should be to test whetherthe student can do the college work. Verymuch of existing red tape should be elimi­nated. Graduation is too long deferred. Theonly land in the world where so much timeis spent on preliminaries is the United States-Further, the 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 do it well. Learning in homeo­pathic doses is not of great value. An insti­tution of learning is primarily for those whOwant learning, without regard to sex race,or social status.

They did not know anythingabout refrigeration.Much of the meat was put in the pickle orheavily salted and spiced to keep it.By the time fresh meat came to be eaten, itwas often so strongly flavored that the cooksalso used spices liberally in its preparation.It is interesting to know that the land whichowed its discovery in large measure to Europe'slack of refrigeration, should have become theoriginator of this vital science.. Today meat is dressed at centers of produc­non, hauled hundreds of miles in perfect condi­tion and placed in the hands of the consumerfresh and sweet.The bountiful food supply of seasons of plentycan be carried over into periods of scant produc­tion, to, the benefit of all.Swift & Company, among the first to make useof and develop this great servant of the humanrace, is still among the first in putting it to help­ful uses.Refrigeration doe� more than make a worldsupply of meat available. By increasing thevolume that can be handled it brings down the.cost of meat to all.
