(Twin Cities4 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEPresident Ernest DeWitt BurtonDr. Burton began his first quarter as President of the University at theopening of the University in October. Although in office but a few months,the University has begun definite progress in many directions under his wise,energetic and stimulating leadership.University of ChicagoMagazineTheVOL. XVI Nc.1:NOVEMBER, 1923This number of the Magazine heralds thenew year for alumni activities. The Uni-, versity last "came to you" withThe New the July number which closedYear activities for 1922-1923. Thatyear, as noted in July, was avery significant period in which importantalumni projects on behalf of the Universitywere begun or advanced. The year : nowcommenced promises to be one of still fur­ther definite progress along various lines.October witnessed the Fall opening of theUniversity. For over a month, now, theQuadrangles have been busy with the rushof returning and new students. Despitethe market increase in tuition the attendanceis larger than ever before and every avail­able space is being utilized for class-roomand laboratory purposes. Even to alumniwho left the University but a year or twoago the increase in activity would be notice­able. To alumni who have not returnedwithin the last decade or more the U niver­sity would seem like a new world. We hopethat every alumnus will return some day, atReunion or some other time, and see howlarge, how active, how stately and impres­sive the University of Chicago wor ld nowis. The University and the alumni havestarted ] 9;23-1\)24 with auspicious activity.We trust that you-that all alumni-willtake some helpful part in making this ayear of important accomplishment.* * *On February 20, 1923, Dr. Ernest DeWittBurton became Acting President of the Uni­versity. At the July meeting of the Boardof Trustees he was elected toPresident the office of President. In theBurton five months of his work as Act­ing President, Professor Bur- ton had shown such clear understanding of.the fundamentally important problems nowconfronting the institution, such decisiveability in the way of solving those prob­lems, and such energetic leadership leadingto .their solution, that inevitably he was re­garded on all sides, among. Trustees, theFaculty, students and alumni, as the rightman to serve with the freedom and powerof President. His election to the Presi-.dency in July was hailed everywhere withsincere enthusiasm. On August 31, at the130th Convocation, Dr. Burton was fer­mally installed and presided as President.The ceremonies were brief and simple, yetimpressive and fraught with significance enthe advancement to be made by the Univer­sity within the next few years.Through the Magazine and the publicpress our alumni are already familiar withthe life of President Burton and his pastgreat services to the University. Througha pamphlet mailed last Spring, addresses toalumni en various occasions, and the Mag­azine, they are also somewhat familiar withhis wise and comprehensive policies. Inthis November number he sends his firstgreeting to the alumni as President andagain points cut the desire for loyal alumnisupport. Our alumni, we knew, willdeeply appreciate his cordial greetings andread his communications with thorough at­tention. At this time, en behalf of the alum­ni, we again congratulate President Burtonen his deserved election, we extend himbest wishes for a most, successful .adrninis­tration, and gladly renew our offer of thefullest cooperation from the alumni.56 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE+._nn_"'_I.- •• _'._ •• _I'_aU_ •• _ln_ •• _.I_III_na_.I_.a_nl_UI_ •• _.1- •• -OII-III-al-.I- •• _In_.I_I __ .,,+1 President Burton's Greetings-New Trustees I..... - •• - •• - ........ - •• - •• -.0- •• - •• - •• - •• _ •• _ •• _.'_ •• _.11_ •• _In-UII-ua-III-III1-la-IIU-IIU- •• -I.- •• -aa-n+Greetings from President BurtonTo the Alumni:At the beginning of the thirty-second yearof its work, the University sends itsheartiest greetings to its alumni, near andfar.

The scene of our gather­ing was Washington Park, a delightfullynatural woodland, nearly ninety acres in.extent, adjacent to Cedar Falls. 'When wesat clown to the supper tables. forty-threewere present, including thirty-six who have8 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEattended the University, and seven who havemarried into the "Chicago" family. Allperiods of the University's ·life were repre­sented. C. A. Fullerton spent the year1896-97 on the campus, and regaled us withstories of President Harper, Mr. Moulton,and others. S. A. Lynch, M.A. 1900, toldus of the athletic prowess of Stagg's menin the early days. H. E. Christianson, LouisBerg and Ethel Woolhiser, all '23, were onhand to join the ranks of the alumni, and toldus 'Of the life on the campus now, and"Christy" gave us some inside informationregarding toot ball prospects for this fall.Owing to the fact that we had spent asocial hour together before supper, and wereeach decorated with a Maroon ribbon and acard showing our name, and the years thatwe were at the University, there was asplendid spirit of good fellowship pervadingthe meeting. While we were finishing our· supper, and before the business meeting, welistened. to the reading of a considerable partof President Burton's address, given beforethe Chicago Alumni Club, emphasizing thefact that the University's policy in the futureis to be one of inclusion, and not of exclu­sion. President Burton's dream for thefuture strengthened our community of in­terest, reassured those of us who graduatedfrom the Colleges that we may see Chicagotriumph on the gridiron in the future as inthe past, and helped all of us to appreciatethe many-sidedness of the University.

Somenew plans for the Reunion were also con­sidered. One of the especially importantmatters taken up was that of cooperatingwith the University for establishing a riewand complete addressograph system and anextended filing system.

While studentsin the University or'through the public press,our alumni have becomeacquainted with the highservices he has renderedthe University through aperiod of almost thirtyyears.Shailer Mathews wasborn May 26, 1863, atPortland, Maine, the. sonof a local merchant. Hisearly. schooling was ac­quired in the grammarand high school of Port­land. He then enteredColby College, Maine,where he received his A.B. in 1884. He was activein student affairs, be­ing President of the Ath­letic Association, Presi­dent of the Y. M. C. A.,chairman of his seniorclass executive commit­tee, and a member ofDelta Kappa Epsilon. He pursued graduatestudies at Colby, receiving his A. M. in 1887.He did further graduate work at NewtonTheological Institution and at the Universityof Berlin, until 1891. The honorary degreeof D. D. has been conferred upon him byColby and Oberlin colleges and by Brownand Miami universities; Pennsylvania Col­lege conferred the degree of LL.D uponhim in 1915.For two years, 1887-89, Mr. Mathews wasAssistant Professor of Rhetoric at Colby,and for the next five years he was Profes­sor of History and Political Economy there.In 1894 he came to the University of Chi­cago as Associate Professor of New Testa­ment History and Interpretation. Sincethat time he has been on the Faculty atChicago, becoming Junior Dean of the Di­vinity School, 1899-1908, Professor of Sys­tematic Theology, and Professor of His­torical and Comparative Theology. In 1908he was appointed Dean of the DivinitySchool, in which capacity he has served, inaddition to his class-room and lecture work, for fifteen years. Dean Mathews was edi­tor of The World Today for some years,and editor of The Biblical World from 1913to 19:W. He has written many notable ar-ticles an d books on re­ligious, historical and so­cial subjects, and hasgained wide distinction asa lecturer. Among theimportant positions hehas held are President ofthe Western EconomicSociety, President of theCouncil of Churches ofChrist in America, andDirector of ReligiousWork of the ChautauquaInstitution.He was married on, July 16, 1890, to Mary P.Elden, of Waterville,Maine. The Mathewsha ve three children.Dean Mathews is amember of the Univer­sity and City clubs, andwas President of theQuadrangle Club. He isa member of the Amer­ican Historical Associa­tion and of the Americanand Chicago societies ofBiblical Literature.In the brief space al­lotted here for this biographical sketch it is,of course, impossible to more than suggest hismany and varied services to the Universityof Chicago. His twenty years association withthe University have literally been crowdedwith great efforts on behalf of the institu­tion-efforts that have assisted and 'advancedthe University in many ways. In this re­spect students and alumni have long feltdeeply indebted to him. .During the last four or five years he hasaddressed a large number of our alumniclubs while on his lecture trips. None ofour club speakers enjoys thus meeting ouralumni in various parts of the country morethan he does-and our clubs are constantlytrying to get him for visits and addresses.Dean Mathews is keenly interested,' notonly in the development of our DivinityAlumni Association but also in the progressof our general alumni organizations' andaffairs. He is 'always gladly willing to dowhat he can in their furtherance. We arefortunate, indeed, in having his loyal andhelpful services from time to time.Dean Shailer Mathews12 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEt"-R.-""_""_AM_."_ .. M_AM_IIM_AII_" ......

This wide driveway was known as the Midwaybefore the Wor ld's Fair. During the Fair it was called the "Midway Plaisance."During the first week of October the 30thanniversary of the Chicago World's Fair wasobserved, under the auspices of the Chi­cago Historical Society, by an exhibitionof. World's Fair relics, mementoes, and pho­tographs, sketches and paintings. The largeexhibit, on' display at the retail store ofMarshall Field & Company during the en­tire week, was attended by crowds everyday. The exhibit was arranged in booths,extending over a considerable portion of thesecond floor of the store.The University of Chicago participated inthis exhibit, the University's. section beingin charge of the Chicago Alumnae Club.Mrs. Charles Scribner Eaton (Davida Har­per, '00) and Mrs. Roderick Macpherson(Margaret Monroe, '17) were chairmen ofthe Alumnae Club's committee which gath­ered and arranged the University exhibitand took charge of the University booth dur­ing the week. The University exhibit in­cluded pictures, official slides showing theUniversity from its: beginning at the timeof the World's Fair of 1893 until the pres- ent, and drawings and architects' models ofproposed new buildings. The lantern slideswere shown at stated times each day andvarious alumnae took turns in telling theaudiences about the buildings and growthof the University as thus illustrated. Manyalumni attended the exhibit..Among' the Worid's Fair pictures on dis­play was the one shown above. The pic­ture shows the "Egyptian" section of thefamous Midway Plaisance with the newUniversity buildings in the background. Onthe left can be seen Cobb Lecture Hall­the first University building erected, andbuilt about a year previous to this date;Kent Laboratory is seen in the center. Onthe right is shown Foster Hall in the courseof erection. The style of dress of 1893 canbe noted among the sightseers on the Mid­way. The style of dress and view of theMidway will be of particular interest to thealumni who saw the amusing performanceof "The Naughty Nineties" hy the Black­friars in 1919.NEWS OF THE QUADRANGLESNE"WS OF THEQUADRANGLES.Preparation for Settlement NightActivities on the campus for 'the Fallquarter of 1923 center about the formationof the committees for the Settlement Nightcampaign. Arthur Cody and Hester Weber,the two committee chairmen who did themost work last year, were appointed asgeneral heads of this University organiza­tion which is making its annual campaignto raise money to support the UniversitySettlement at 4630 Gross Ave., which wasfounded twenty-eight years ago by a groupof University students interested in socialservice.The general campaign for raising moneyamong University alumni and others inter­ested in the movement is being managed byM. D. Kirk and Elizabeth Hyman, both ofwhom were leaders in this line last year.Settlement Night proper, which is managedin the form of a bazaar, is under the direc­tion of the following committee heads:Louis Stirling and Martha Bennett of theEntertainment Committee; Willis Hardyand Dorothy MacKinlay, Booths; WilfredCombs and Jeanne Birkhoff, Music andDance; Leslie River and Weir Mallory,Publicity; William Drake and CatherineCarnpbell.j Specialties; Frier McCollisterand Julia Phodus, Decorations; Carroll Mag­genheimer :and Calista Twist, Refreshments.Settlement Night will be held December8 in the Mitchell Tower group and cloister,as in the tears past.Some Campus DifficultiesIn addition to Settlement Night, the cam­pus is agog over a rather troublesomepledge tampering case, and the reorganiza­tion and definite abolishment of the ThreeQuarters <Hub, Freshman honorary SOCIety.The pledge tampering, case, which is nowbefore the Interfraternity council for de­cision, concerns a star trackman from St.John's Military academy, who was pledgedon October first, the first night of school.I t is charged that he dropped his pledgeafter solicitations from a member of an­other fraternity's alumni. -Possibly there wassome unfortunate misunderstanding on allsides, but .the matter will be settled by theInterfraternity council.The Three Quarters club was suspendedby Dean E. H. Wilkins the first part of thequarter "in order that a committee - consist­ing of faculty and students might investigateto 'discover whether or not it might be madea valuable institution of the University. It.'_was reinstated-r.Octcber 24, after the com­mittee made' a favorable report, but in itsfirst' meeting it violated every' ideal upon The Ferris WheelFrom this famous Wheel, about 250 feet high,on the "Midway Plaisance," the new Universitywas viewed by thousands in the W orld'sFair days.which it was reinstated. Dean Wilkinsthereupon suspended it for the second timeuntil it could be abolished by the Board ofStudent Organizations.Social ActivitiesAn unusual amount of social activity hasbeen seen on the campus for the first partof the quarter. The Phi Kappa Psi fratern­ity officially opened its new chapter housewith a tea given October 21 for the wholeUniversity. Several Undergraduate mixershave been held, both in the newly organizedReynolds Student Clubhouse, and that fol­lowing the annual Freshman Frolic held inIda Noyes.Leaders· for the Washington' Prom wereelected by the Undergraduate Council, Octo­ber 25th.

Sixty-fivethousand people braved a drenching rain towitness a battle worthy of a stadium 'open­ing.The Chicagoans went into the game with­out the' services of Campbell Dickson, starend, who was on 'the sidelines with an in­jury, ,and Harry Thomas, the' "key" halfback,whose withdrawal from the :game just twen­ty-four hours before the, start, on accountof scholastic deficiencies, completely wreckedplays which the team' had been working on'for three weeks '::rnd forced the' Maroons torely on aj'slow familiar Tinebucking attackwhich. tRe' IlIini 'easily' solved before the endof the first quarter.' . ."Red'" Grange, the' brilliant Illinois' half­back, fully lived up to his' ever-growing rep­utatiorr and aside from' making the' lone'touchdown of the game, tore off several longruns,. one of 60 yards, and also saved histeam from athreatened score in the' openingQuartet: ; The Illinois team, showed a pow­erful Iine and' a fast; hard�driving back field.They' were "keyed' 'to the top" for' this' game and played great football from whistle towhistle. Illinois is to be congratulated, too,on the wonderful memorial stadium openedon this occasion. This gigantic structure,when completed, will have both architectu­ral and utility value and will be a fittingscene for many great athletic and otheroccasions in the years to come.Up to the time of the Indian contest theVarsity season had been, if riot brilliant, atleast moderately successful. In the season'sopener, which was played on September 29,before the opening of the University and ata time when the Varsity had practiced butten days, the Michigan Agricultural Collegegame resulted in a defeat for the MichiganAggies by a one-sided score of 33-0.At the time, the playing of the Maroonswas severely and justly criticized for beingboth rough and sloppy. Fumbling by thebacks was frequent and the line, with bothFrank Gowdy and "Fighting Joe" Pondelikon the hospital list, was so weak that eventhe green Aggie team was able to tearthrough for considerable gains.J ohI?- Thomas;' '24, . FullbackThe next week brought Colorado Agri­cultural College to Stagg field and gave·Maroon supporters a number of scares in' agame that finally ended' 10:0 -in favor ofChicago. Rib ben' was the' star of the day,ATHLETICSmaking the Maroon's only touchdown afterblocking a Colorado kick. The RockyMountain farmers played in tough luck allthrough the contest, loosing two possibletouchdowns through fumbles just when theball seemed about to cross the Maroon goalline.With the coming of Northwestern, ac­companied by practically every member ofthe north shore university, the Maroonvarsity showed marked improvement in theirplay. Pondelik arid Gowdy returned to theline, making it practically impenetrable; andin the backfield Harry Thomas, CaptainJim Pyott and Willis Zorn, together withFred Law, at quarter, made a combinationthat the Purple were unable to solve. Al­though Pyott clung to his old position athalf, he took over the additional job ofcalling signals and brought the team out OJlthe long end of a 13-0 score., After an interim of two weeks, the OldMan started on his annual fear of Purdue.This year the game proved that the tear. forthe first time in ten years, was amply justi­fied. At the end of the first half the scorestood 6-0 in favor of Coach Phelan's boysFrank Gowdy, '25, Right Tackleand the west stand of Stagg field soundedlike a cemetery at midnight. Spradling, theflashy Boilermaker halfback, who during theweek had been reported out of the gamewith a fractured knee, hopped into the con­test and made the lone Purdue score.In the third quarter the Maroons, evi­dently smarting under the effects of a be­tween halves lecture from the Old' Man,came back and ran up three touchdowns in 15less tha!l twenty minutes. Abbott, newlytried out at quarter, Zorn and Pyott did thescoring. In the final period, Stagg, satis­fied with the lead that his men had rolledup, started making substitutions and endedJoe Pondelik, '25, Left Guardwith a practically new team. Gowdy, stellartackle, was the only man to play clearthrough for Chicago.The scores to date, and the remaininggames are:Chicago 33, Michigan Aggies O.Chicago 10, Colorado Aggies O.Chicago 13, Northwestern 0.Chicago 20, Purdue 6.Chicago 0, Illinois 7.Chicago 27 Indiana O.Chicago vs. Ohio State (Nov. 17).Chicago vs. Wisconsin (Nov. 24) ..All the games, with the exception of theIllinois game, played at Stagg Field.Aside from football, sports at the Uni­versity has been confined to the cross coun­try team. Although the Maroon harriersha ve the best team in years with VictorLevine and Harry Bourke, who won secondplace from a field of 400 in the Daily Newsroad race last summer, the season has' notbeen marked by success .. Although Bourkewon the first meet, the team as a wholelost by a large score to the Purple roadmen.The second contest, with Purdue, resultedin' a tie. A Boilermaker .i:nan won the race,but the Chicago runners succeeded in gettingenough men well up in the -list to tie upthe team score.

Suggests Club Representatives to ReunionsJune 27, 1923.Mr. Charles F. Axelson,The Rookery, Chicago, Illinois.Dear Ax:The thought occurred to me during recentAlumni festivities that the natural way forour Alumni Clubs to keep more closely intouch with the University is for each club tosend a representative to the University at aspecified tithe during the year. First, tohave the benefit of the contact of represen­tatives of other clubs throughout the coun­try. Second, to renew acquaintance with themembers of the faculty and others in theUniversity group. Third, to answer anyquestions which members of the club fromwhich the representative comes may have.I believe that other advantages would ap­pear from such a meeting as this which IwiU not take time tQ enumerate.I was reminded of this idea by a recentletter in which the same thought in a littledifferent form was suggested. Possiblythere are only a few of our Alumni Clubsthat are strong enough to finance or helpto finance such a trip of. a- representative,but it seems to me that there is a germ ofan idea here that it would � .. worth whilefor the members of .the Alumrii Clubs Com­mittee and the Council to. consider.I am addressing this letter' to you as Ido not happen to know who the chairmanof the Alumni Clubs is ..Yours cordially,r..

This will seem unfairto those who worked and planned the day,but so it impressed me and the comment ofothers was in the same tone. I have at­tended class days at other colleges, notablyHarvard, and the contrast would makeangels weep.What should be done?1. The Alumni Association should put anexecutive in the field. (The U. of C. as apublicity program could well afford tofinance him.) This man should get a few­three or more alumni from each class-whoare in or near Chicago. This ,small group ofthree or more should begin a little fund forpublicity, and proceed to bring togetherclasses about three times a year. Of courseonly local alumni could come, but a seriouseffort should be made to have class dinnersat least three times a year. Once a yearin an institution with the ouarter systern->once a year-is not enough for a meeting.2. In time such a program will bringenough interest into class groups to arrangea class day in June in which each class willcontribute some attractive stunt or feature->and the fiasco of this year will not recur.3. Some additional attractions for classday besides class day exercises should beevolved. .4.

He left the first of theyear to visit his son, and telephoned me be­fore he left to ask me to say good-bye for'him to the other alumni and to tell themthat if he lived he would return and joinus at our own meetings again.Speaking for myself, I think most of usare inclined to forget that that earlier group.may take as keen' delight in the presentUniversity and iii the fellowship our clubs,make possible as any new-pledged alumnus-and I hope you can give him as muchnotice as possible, for he has given us Some­thing valuable by being with us.Very sincerely, "Helen E.

Japan Earthquake Described by ProfessorFrederick Starr(Special to The Daily Maroon)On Board S. S. Pres. Grant, Sept. 28.­To all members of the University, and toall O. M. D., greeting: It has been sug­gested to me by Mr. H. G. Davis, who is afellow-passenger with me on this steamer,the President Grant, that I should addressyou through The Daily Maroon.On July 28, I sailed from Seattle by theAlabama Maru for an expedition that wasto include Japan, Korea, China, Indo-China.and Siam, and which was to last untilMarch of next year. I reached Yokohamaon Aug. 12 and at once began' the work Iexpected to do in j anan. The next nineteendays were busy. I made my third ascentof Mount Fuji, spent five great days in theSarnni-do (a district in western Japan)where I was a welcomed and feted guest,saw the great fire ceremony at Yoshida, andmade the ascent of Ontake, Japan's secondgreat sacred mountain. There was but oneitem left in my Japanese program-the tripover the Kisakaido, which I expected to fillthe time from September 4 to September-as.On August 31, I returned to Tokyo to restbefore starting out upon this final under­taking.Quake Interrupts WorkOn the next day I was in Tokyo when theearthquake came. It was not only themost dreadful in my experience, it was prob­ably (with its resultant fire) the most dread­ful disaster of its kind in history. My inter­preter and I were working in my room onthe third story of my Japanese hotel. Wehad the full effect of the shock and for amoment neither expected to escape with life.Tiles were falling; plaster, timbers, glass,furniture-everything was giving way andheaping UD around us. . When the' shakingceased, we made our way downstairs andoutdoors, where the streets were filled withterrified and fleeing people.Fires were breaking out in all quarters ofthe city. The first great shock was at 12noon: a second heavy shock came at 12:20.By 4 o'clock we saw fires in every direction.The streets were full of fugitives, fleeing forlife and carrying whatever they had saved.The people of the hotel begged us to preparefor flight. Two steamer trunks of mine andthe baggage of other guests were heapedupon a truck and we ourselves climbed uponto the pile and hurried to Shiba Park.Here, with many thousands of other fugi­tives, we camped out for the night amongthe trees, with trunks, .satchels, and bundlesaround us. It was then about .6 :30.Refuge in TempleAt 10 we were forced to flee again andmoved evervthing into the enclosure ofZorji (Buddhist Temple) .. Here we wererecognized by young priests, who took us totheir rooms to sleep while they went out toLETTER BOX-JAPAN EARTHQUAKE 11)Tokyo Street Scene After the EarthquakeThe view shows a Tokyo street after the first quake. The Japanese built their noon­day fires as usual. The complete collapse of residences and widespread loss and confusionare evident in the picture.help the fugitives. At 3 in the morning theyroused us again; it was feared that the tem­ple would be burned. This time they ledus to the innermost temple, where we wereactually in a place of safety and where westayed until morning-the morning of mybirthday. It was a sad celebration. Thenext two weeks I spent in the ruined city,among simple Japanese, sharing with themthe experiences that follow such a disaster.All' the results of my nineteen days' hardlabor went up in flames and smoke. I lostsome money and papers. The indirect losses due to the disaster were serious. So I haveabandoned my further expedition and amreturning home. For the next year I be­lieve I shall be continuously in Seattle.Among the things I lost was my addresslist. I do not know the addresses of mostof my correspondents-either in foreignlands, the United States. or Chicago. Pleasethen, if I had your addresses before, or ifyou care t·o have me have your addresses forthe future, send them to me. A postal cardaddressed to me at 5727 Thirty-fifth avenue,N. E., Seattle, Wash., will reach me.Fire Breaking Out in TokyoFollowing soon afterThe first severe shocks, fire' broke ,out in many sections of Tokyo."The view shows the fire sweeping' alongover a residential section of the unfortunate ,city.Former Professor Starr, who wasiiri the capital at the time, ·lost his valuable collections"in the destruction, as told in his accompanying letter.,W THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEMedical School to Be Reorganized-c-Dr.MacLean, '08, Ph.D. '15, AppointedFirst Professor of Medicine.Reorganization of the medical school ofthe University and preparation of plans forthe new medical buildings will be under­taken by Dr. Franklin c.' MacLean, formerdirector of the Peking Union Medical Col­lege, whose appointment to the position ofProfessor of Medicine was announced re­cently.A telegram received by President ErnestDeWitt Burton. October 17th informed himof Dr. MacLean's acceptance. The newlyappointed professor was graduated from theUniversity in 1908, and in 1910 from RushMedical .College. The University conferredon him the degree of Master of Science in1913 and that of Doctor of Philosophy in1915.He served in the hospital of the Rocke­feller Institute in New York City as as­sistant resident physician from 1914 to 19]16.In 1916 he was appointed director ·of thePeking Union Medical College, and Pro­fessor of Medicine in that institution, whichwas about to be established by the Rocke­feller foundation. Dr. MacLean took aleading part in the planning of that college,with its elaborate system of hospitals andschools.In 1918 he was ordered overseas with therank of captain. Subsequently he was ap­pointed senior consultant in medicine forthe A. E. F. with the rank of major,In addition to his connection with thePekinz Union Medical College, which hascontinued since 1918, Dr. MacLean's pro­fessional experience includes service on thefaculty of the University, the staff of theCook Courity Hospital, the medical schoolof the University of Oregon, the Universityof Gratz in Austria, and t.he RockefellerInstitute for Medical Research.His first tasks at the University will bethe planning of a system of buildings forthe new medical school, and the reorganiza­tion of the school. His appointment is thefirst step toward these undertakings.Congratulatory Notices to "A" StudentsStudents with the grade of "A" and "Aminus" received administrative recognitionat intervals during the course of theirstudy for the. first time in the history ofAmerican universities, when congratulatorynotices were sent to them recent lv from theoffice of Dean Wilkins of the Colleges ofArts, Literature and Science. This institu­tion of. "reversed flunk notices" is anotherstep in. -the new plans -to bring the better student into closer contact with officers ofadministration and instruction.The notices, in the form of four by sixinch cards with the report of the student'swork, and the instructor's remarks, will bemailed to all students having a grade of "Aminus" or more in one subject at the closeof each term. If an undergraduate hasan average of "A minus"_ in three subjectshe will get three cards from his three sepa­rate instructors. The method of despatchine­will be the same as that used for the "flunk�notices, which will be sent out at the sametime. -"The college deans," said Dean Wilkins"believe that the ablest students deserve spe�cial consideration, both from instructors andadministrative officers, in even higher meas­ure than less able students. This use of thecongratulatory notice, which, to my know[.,edge, has never been employed before in justthis way, will be an important factor in thecampaign we are putting forth. Of courseit would be premature to speculate upon it�success, but I think from our investigationsthe innovation will be effective."Attendance Figures for Autumn QuarterAttendance at the University at the endof the second week of the autumn quartershows an increase of 415 over the attend­ance at the same date last year. The at­tendance this year numbers 6,747.The number of men in attendance is justone in excess of the number of women-3,374 and 3,373 are the respective figures.The largest increase is in the Universitycollege, which now numbers 1.908. In theCollege of Arts, Literature and Science are2,592, and in the Graduate Schools of Arts,Literature and Science 995. This is a totalof 3,587, an increase over last year.The total attendance on the Quadranglesis 4,839, of whom 2,957 are men and 1,882women. In view of the fact that the tuitionfees were substantially increased on July I,the increase in attendance is. regarded byUniversity authorities as highly gratifying.Appreciation of Professor ManlyProfessor F. L. Paxson, Chairman ofCommittee on Honorary Degrees, in pre­senting John Matthews Manly to the Presi­dent at Commencement of the Universityof Wisconsin. June 18, 1923, stated:"Mr. President:"John Matthews Manly has probably nonemore than any other teacher in the Westto throw light upon the history and prac­tice of the. tongue we speak.

For the lasttwenty-five years, at our neighboring insti­tution in Chicago, his seminary has been. the training place for a multitude of teach­ers. His writings have made an imprintupon our thought and his generous person­ality has made the imprint permanent. Hismen, teaching in every faculty, and carry­ing on investigations that he started, havemade his place secure. He has been Presi­dent of the Modern Language Association,and of other learned societies, both Ameri­can and international. He is modernenough to have brought real intelligenceinto the Intelligence Division of the Gen­eral Staff of the Army during the W or1dWar; yet he is traditional enough to knowthat the basis for the understanding of to­day lies in the life of the past.

Frost and his party 'from theYerkes Observatory were prevented byclouds from using the elaborate apparatusinstalled for observation. For several hun- .dred miles along the coast the weatherconditions were wholly unfavorable, Direc­tor Frost said, and all the American ob­servers were deeply disappointed, except thecombined party from Swarthmore and Alle­gheny observatories, whose station waslocated in the state of Durango, Mexico.Clouds at an altitude of 7,000 or more feetprevented. the observers of the Yerkes,Carleton, and Dearborn observatories fromtaking photographs of the eclipse. One ortwo of the smaller cameras were operated,but the larger instruments were not used.Timed to the second, the moon passedbefore the sun, and the sky turned apurplish green. The temperature at CampWngley dropped ten degrees during theeclipse .. Dr. Oliver .L Lee, who was to have op-. erated the Yerkes sixty-foot camera andwho spent forty days in preparation' onCatalina Islan-d, worked under varyingweather conditions, the temperature in thedark room of the coelostat at Camp Wrig­ley ?n September 6 being 118 degrees.Director Frost reports that Camp Wrig­ley, some 1,300 feet above the sea, had aboutsixty-five astronomers and their associatesat the time of the eclipse, and among these.were representatives of not less than twenty-five institutions. 21Dean Albion Woodbury Small Withdrawsas DeanProfessor Albion Woodbury Small, Headof the Department of Sociology at the Uni­versity, who has been for eighteen yearsDean of the Graduate School of Arts andLiterature, has at his own request been. li'e­lieved of the duties Of the deanship, andDean Gordon J.

Agricultural colleges, medical,commercial, technical, and other types of- schools were also visited, primarily to ob­serve the science instruction. Members otthe writer's family were enrolled both in theuniversity and secondary schools so thatsome information was gained at first handfrom the student's point of view. A baresummary must omit the many illuminatingexperiences.The science work in the universitiesseemed very like that in similar Americaninstitutions. One misses the catalogue ofour schools giving details of courses. Thatinformation is found on the bulletin board atthe university. The professor lectures to hisstudents, rarely conducting a recitation orquizz. There is no roll call at class; studentsattend or not as they please. If there is acounter attraction in the city, like an excel­lent matinee at the opera, the classroomsmay be nearly deserted, but the lecture pro­ceeds just the same. But in the laboratorywork there is the same freedom of questionand answer, the same aid to and supervisionof students that we are accustomed to. Thelaboratory instructors seem very skillful andconscientious in their attention to students.The final examinations are very thoroughand many students cram under tutors who,in every university town, become quitefamous for their ability to successfully coachstudents for the finals, each in his specialline.Many universities in France are poorlyhoused, often in old monasteries or palacesthat are adapted with difficulty to universityuse. Laboratories are therefore likely to bepoorly lighted and inconvenient. The Uni­versity buildings in Switzerland and Englandare as a .rul'e built for the purpose and soare more commodious and convenient. TheOxford campus and buildings are incom­parably. beautiful though little space is de­voted to science. Cambridge and London;are quite strong on science lines. Labora­tory equipment is usually adequate withoutextravagance and is not under lock and key.The display of historically interesting ap- paratus used in famous investigations by thegreat scientists furnishes an element in theappara tus cases largely lacking in our own.l.t compensates in a measure tor the occas­ional lack 'of modern appliances.The university professor is as a rule anefficient, charming man of broad culture,always hospitable both at home and in hisclassroom or laboratory, welcoming the op­portunity to show the visitor about whenproperly accredited, and alert to learn all hecan of American schools and customs. Hisrelations with his students are friendly, oftenintimate.The French and Swiss lycees and collegesare, as far as age of pupils is concerned, theequivalent of our high schools for the Frenchlad typically spends, after his kindergarten,five years in the primary or elementaryschool, then, if he graduates successfully,seven years in the lycee or college. If hepasses the stiff finals-about sixty per centfail each year-he reaches his bachelor'sdegree and proceeds to his professionalschool at about seventeen years of age. Ifhe elects a classical course he must takeeleven year-hours of science out of a totalof one hundred and seventy-two, while inthe scientific courses he must have twenty­six. Expressed in American equivalents thiswould mean that pupils receive in grades sixto twelve inclusive a minimum of a year anda half of science instruction five times a weekand a maximum of four years. The sciencework of the lycee consists of zoology thefirst year, botany and geology the secondphysics and chemistry continuously fromthe third to the seventh years, zoology againin the fourth year, natural science in theseventh. Physics and chemistry have be­tween them twenty-one out of the twenty-sixrequired hours'. The Swiss requirements arevery similar. In English secondary schoolswhile science is offered, it is seldom electedand the equipment is meager. 'Instruction in lycees and colleges is bylecture. Textbooks are used by pupils onlywhen points in the lectures are not quiteclear. Lectures are accompanied by demon­strations made by an understudy of the p ro ,fessor. The apparatus for such dernonstra,tions is ample in physics and chemistry, veryinadequite or totally lacking in biology andphysiology. Facilities for laboratory workare provided for students only in the fewlycees that are distinctly vocational schools.Most of the French and Swiss lycees andmany English secondary schools are board,ing schools with an average of half the pupilsSCIENCE INSTRUCTION IN SOME EUROPEAN SCHOOLS 25living in the -school. Day pupils attend fromeight o'clock in the morning to seven in theevening, with a few coming only for recita­tions.The above statements apply to the boys'schools only. The lycees for' girls have quitedifferent courses and a smaller proportion ofthe pupils live in the school. If the girldesires a degree she must, however, pass thefinal examinations of the boy's lycee.The instruction in the lycees impressesone as excellent. All lycee 'professors mustbe university graduates. Many are gray­haired men of long experience. Only menteachers are found in the boys' schools.Since the war a. majority of the teachers inthe girls' schools are women.The course of study, textbooks, and eventhe content of the courses are uniformthroughout France, all prescri:bed by thecentral board under the Minister of Educa­tion. The same is true in each Swiss can­ton. There is no corresponding' uniformityin England. While the academic schools arethus under one control, the entire educationalsystem is not unified. Schools of agricultureare under the direction .of the Minister ofAgriculture, technical schools under theMinister of Labor, etc.In the elementary and primary schools ofFrance and Switzerland about one hour aweek out of twenty of instruction is devotedto science. This work consists largely inreading from a series of books on objectlessons. Occasionally' a teacher is. suffi­ciently enthusiastic to bring objects studiedinto the school room or even to take pupilsout for out-of-door study, but this is ex­ceptional. Pupils are supposed to get theirown contacts with illustrative materials bothin elementary and secondary schools.School. of Education NotesThe General Education Board has awardedfellowships to three graduate students in theDepartment of Education which make it pos­sible for them to carryon their work towardadvanced degrees. The purpose of the Gen­eral Education Board in. awarding thesefellowships is to give an opportunity to menfrom the South, who have made conspicuousrecords in the educational field, to trainthemselves in modern methods of educa­tional study and administration. Mr. Frenchresigned his position as' superintendent ofschools at Drumright .. Oklahoma, to acceptone of. these fellowships. Last year Mr.French carried on a series of investigationswith regard to the supervision of teachers.Mr. Rainey, formerly a member of the De­partment of Education of Austin College,Sherman, Texas, was a graduate student ineducation at the University of Chicago dur­ing the past year and is now completing thework for his Doctor's degree. Mr. Romie D. Judd was recommended by the State Super­intendent of Schools in Kentucky· after aperiod of successful teaching in the higherinstitutions ·of that state.Mr. Holzinger has been in England sinceearly in September working with ProfessorKarl Pearson who is one of the leadingauthorities in the world on statisticalmethods of dealing with. biological andpsychological facts. Mr. 'Holzinger will beback for the beginning of the winter quarter.At the biennial meeting of the, NationalCouncil of Pi Lambda. Theta Fraternity, heldJ nne, 1923, in Ida' Noyes' HaU," the sum of$1,000 was voted by the.' Council to be usedin an investigation of some research problemin education and measures were also takento establish a permanent fund, the income ofwhich is to be used for research in the edu­cational field. An Efficiency Trophy, basedon a professional and financial report, wasawarded by the Executive Committee toLambda Chapter, University of Chicago.Professor Freeman has published withHoughton Mifflin Company a book entitled"How to Teach' Handwriting." This is theconsummation- of a series of studies whichProfessor Freeman has been carrying on forsome years. He has published a number oftechnical works on handwriting. In hisearlier 'monographs and books on this sub­ject he brought together the results of' ex­perimental and statistical studies on a moreextensive scale than any educational writerwho has dealt with this special field. In thepreparation of the present volume he hashad the cooperation of a number of schoolpeople and the special cooperation of MissMary L. Dougherty who has tried out ex­periments in normal schools and city sys­tems. On this basis of theoretical 'andpractical study of handwriting ProfessorFreeman has now recommended a definiteplan of procedure which can be utilized byteachers in the course in conducting their in­struction in penmanship. This volume is ad­dressed, accordingly, to the teacher andgives the exercises which should be used in'the grade together with an exposition of theprinciples underlying the course of studyoutlined.Professor Filbey has been appointed Deai;lof the University College to succeed Dr.Butler. Professor Filbey is devoting. theentire autumn Quarter to the management ofthe affairs of this division of the University.Miss Laura Lucas has resigned from thefaculty of the University Elementary Schoolin order to devote the year to study."The Education of Children from Four toSix Years of Age" was the topic of MissTemple's address before the Ridge Woman'sClub on October 31.26 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEBook ReviewsEdgar J. Goodspeed, D.B., '97, Ph.D., '98The New Testament: An American Trans­lation. By Edgar J. Goodspeed (The U ni­_ versity of Chicago Press),The New Testament has had more pub­licity in Chicago during the past few weeksthan it has received in this busy city fora long while. It is being published seriallyin one daily paper and in. a dozen in othercities. Almost every daily has devoted aleading editorial to it. Not only he whoruns but-a much more difficult matter­he who drives a car may read its name atleast, blazoned in foot-high letters uponbillboards and the sides of - delivery wagons.! t has been a common topic of conversation111 clubs and at dinner-tables. The occasionand stimulus for all this has been the ap­pearance of a new translation.Much of the discussion has taken the- di­rection 'Of -argument for or against the pro­priety of any new version of our mostcherished classic. Much of the interest hasbeen furnished by the comments of editorswho apparently do not realize that the writ­ings which make up that collection of lit­erature were vividly and pungently con­temporary to the people to whom they wereaddressed and who read them for the firsttime in the original Greek; that any statelybeauty and sonorous rhythm which occa­sional passages may have possessed werelargely accidental. since the first desire of thewriters was to be understood by commonpe�ple; and that that flavor of antiquitywhich the admirers of the King James ver­sion are SO zealous to retain is not the flavorof the original text, but merely the antiquityof Elizabethan Envlish. One writer bo ldlvdeclares that the King James version is "anerfect translation"-meaning, one mayfairly suppose, that it is a per�<:t translation for us. Perhaps he would refer for his authority to the statement of Professor WIl­ham Lyon Phelps (in the introduction to"Human Nature and the Bible") that, whetj.,er the origin�l was inspired 0: not, the KingJames. versron cer tainly IS. ProfessorPhelps IS ardent for the use of that versionrather than any revised 'Or modern transla­tion ; and yet he must feel that it lacks some­t�ing of contempoary appeal and that thesignificance of the content is somewhatmasked by the antique dignity of the style,for 111 the book mentioned he comes muchnearer to "jazzing" the Biblical narrativesthan any modern-speech translator ever has. Goodspeed's translation does not lack dig�nity. To be sure, Ben Hecht .calls it "giv­ing God a shave and a hair-cut"; but thenBen Hecht is not a high authority in thi�particular field,. and probably he had notread much of this translation, possibly he hadnot read any of it, when he coined this cteverphrase. I am glad he coined it, for it is agood. phrase which accurately describes ac�r!a1t1 flippant and _familiar attitude towarddIv1I1e things, But It does not describe thisbook. Wh:'lt Goodspeed has done is to letPaul talk like Paul and not make him talklike Milton.There. is, fortunately, such a thing asclear, direct, man-to-man language, which�an be understood without a dictionary. ItIS not flippan t or slangy, but the kind oflanguage that intelligent people use whenthey are talking to their friends about im­portant things in which they are deeplvin ter ested, and when they are not makingspeeches or trying to be eloquent. Any�thing that is worth talking about at all canbe talked about in that sort of speech. Thepersonality of the speaker shows through?u�h language, and. whatever beauty thereIS in the thought shines through it like sun­light through a clear window. (Have webeep trying too long. to see God thrOughstained glass?) Sometimes such speech risesto eloquence, and when it does it is of a truerquality than that eloquence which dependsupon studied cadences or an obsolescentvocabulary.It is not .easy to read a chapter in thistranslation-and then stop. A chapter i�only a page or two. Who can read any goodand interesting book or page or two at asitting? We were informed in childhoodthat. if one would read three chapters onweek-days and five on Sundays, the wholeBible would be finished in a- year. Themethod has one merit: it is better than notreading the Bible at all. But this version istoo much alive to be cut into such arbitrary(Continued on page 40) -THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 2;'c �.CHICAGO GIFTSu. of C. LampsWall ShieldsLeather PillowsU. of C.

Remarkably Successful Year for UniversityPressThe volume of book sales by the Univer­sity of Chicago Press during the past yearhas been the largest in its history. Forty-­one new titles in eighteen different fields ofstudy have been issued, and among theseare included significant volumes in the fieldsof bibliography, botany, business, Egyptol­ogy, English, geography, history, mathe­matics, nature-study, 'pa1eopathology, physi­ology, political science, religion, sociologyand travel. The _ books range chronologicallyfrom a volume setting forth the ancient evi­dences of disease in fossil vertebrates andthe bones in early man to books dealingwith modern business and sociologicalproblems.The University Press has always beenmaintained as an educational agency of theUniversity, not for financial profit. But it.is of interest to note that financially theyear just closing has been the best in itshistory. The wisdom of the University inestablishing a Press as an adjunct to itswork of research and teaching, when noother American university had such anagency, and in maintaining it through manytimes of difficulty and doubt, is now fullydemonstrated.Commissioner of Public Welfare Convo­cation OratorThe Commissioner of Public Welfare inthe present administration of Chicago, MissMary E.

And it is because of this quest ofvision that students are thinking with aclarity, a degree of penetration, an inclu­siveness, and an earnestness of purposewhich did not characterize preceding gen­erations. Underneath a certain surfacelightness engendered by the healthful give­and-take of present day campus life, there isdeveloping a fibre which will stand the testof the epoch upon which the world is enter­ing.The Red Cross, national and international,recognizes the fact that in the American col­leges and universities 'of today is to be foundits leadership for tomorrow, in a work whichperhaps more than any other is interpretingto the world at large the full scope andmeaning of the ideal of the Brotherhood ofMan. Consequently it voices at this timean appeal to the students of America, notonly for support in the oncoming AmericanNational Red Cross Roll Call. N overnber11-29, but for serious constructive study ofthe work and methods of the organization,looking toward the day when they will as­sume their r ightful positions of community,state and national leadership. .The demands of the time are increasinglycomplex, and the future is heavily chargedwith forces which as yet defy analysis. Itis not by chance that you have come to y o urhigh place in life. We believe that it is fora purpose, and that without the best eachone can do in service to his fellowmen, alllife must be poorer in the end.Will you not therefore, stand with theunconquerable will of a Sidney Lanier to theideal of service? Through years of povertywhich he could have changed by sacrifice ofhis ideals, and through a greater number ofyears of illness from tuberculosis which hehad not the power to change, the belovedpoet of the Southland struggled on until witha temperature of 104, and while too weak tofeed himself, he penciled his last and great­est poem, "Sunrise," afraid that he woulddie ere the completion of his task:"Knowledge we ask not-knowledge Thouhas lent;But Lord, the will-there lies our bitterneed;Give us to build above a deep intent,The deed, the deed!" $1.00Starts aSavingsAccount $100.00Starts a.

La Salle St. Wabash 0820 Significance of "Coal Balls" Discovered by aBotanist from the UniversityIn a recent contribution Dr. Adolf C.Noe, '01, Ph. D. '05, Assistant Professor ofPaleobotany in the University of Chicagosays that the University has come into pos�session of a specimen which is the oldestknown stem of a highly developed plantever found in America or anywhere else inthe world. It was, found in a so-called coalball from the O'Gara Mine, No.9, of Har ,risburg, Illinois. Coal balls are round lumpsof limestone which form in a coal seamand usually preserve plant tissues from car�bonization. While all the vegetable matteraround the coal ball becomes shapelessblack coal, the forms of life in microscopi�minuteness are saved from destruction asfar as they are inclosed in the preservinglimestone. Our whole knowledge of theanatomy and morphology of the ancientplants which grew hundreds of millions ofyears ago is derived, Dr. Noe says, froU}these lumps which are found in coal seams.Dr. Nee thinks that the study of Amer i.,can coal balls promises to enlarge enor-,mously our knowledge of ancient plant life.Considerable quantities of such coal ballshave already been secured, and every en­couragement has been given for the develop;ment of this subject through' appropriationsby rne University of Chicago, the IllinoisGeological Survey, and the National Acad­emy of Sciences in Washington.Serial Publication of American Translationof New TestamentA remarkable achievement in newspaperpublishing is the daily appearance of allinstallment of Dr. Edgar J. Goodspeed'sAmerican translation of the New Testamenton the editorial page of the Chicago EveningPost. In parallel columns is given the cor­responding passage from the King Jamestranslation of 1611, commonly known as theauthorized version and for more than 300years the recognized Bible of English-speale ,ing people. In this way readers are ableto draw their own conclusions as to themeasure of success Dr. Goodspeed has at­tained in conveying the meaning and spiritof the New Testament writers in the ver­nacular of the United States. This transln ,tion has also been syndicated to journalsin New York, Chicago, Cleveland, OmahaSeattle, Birmingham, Denver, Pasadena'Halifax, and Toronto. 'So widespread have been the interest anddiscussion aroused by this serial publica ,tion of the' New Testament that the Uni­versity of Chicago Press announced forOctober 15 a first printing of Dr. GOOd_speed's translation in two large editions-alibrary edition and a student edition onIndia paper.M,:,-}.RRIAGES, ENGAGEMENTS, BIRTHS, DEATHS;§MarriagesHarriet F.

Here and theregreat cow-pens were built. Cabins clusteredabout them. Towns sprang up.Here the cattle were rounded up and branded,some to be turned back on to the range again;some to be driven off to Charleston, Norfolk,Baltimore or Philadelphia, to be killed, dressed,salted, packed and shipped, or eaten fresh onthe spot.Those early "cowboys" tapped the outer-mostresources of the country of their day and broughtmeat. to man in the best wayit could be doneat that time, just as the cowboys of our later daybrought the wider abundance of newly openedcountry under tribute to the necessities of theirtimes.Three factors - railroads, refrigeration, andthe packing industry - made this later servicepossible. .While cattle were still raging in the West inmighty herds, Swift & Company was placing packingplants (23 of them) at convenient points, buying liveanimals sent in by rail, dressing the beef, and sendir·gthe meat country-wi de in refriger-ator cars to be distrib­uted through refrigerated branch houses.It is a far cry from the freshly killed, and thereforetough meat of early days, to the tender, corn-fed refrig­erated, government inspected beef which Swift &Company delivers today to retail dealers everywhere.Swift & Company's profit from all sourcesaverages a fraction of a cent per poundSwift & Company, U.
