May, 1924Volume XVI. No. 7"Speaking of Books-and especially those published bythe Un.iversity of Chimgo ness� x �Making Literaturemust be a fascinating business if one is to judgefrom Percy H. Boynton's little volume of essayson the' men and women who are making it inAmerica today. Of those who are thus en­gaged, Robinson, Frost, Dreiser, Cabell, Cather,Mencken, Tarkington, Wharton, Masters, Sand­burg, Bradford, and O'Neill occupy most of Mr.Boynton's attention, and of them he has muchof interest to say in Some Contemporary Amer­icans: The Personal Equation in Literature.This latest of the publications of the Universityof Chicago Press is only one of many in the fieldof literature and literary 'criticism. .Others thathave a-lasting 'appeal are Richard Green Moul­ton's Modem Study of Literature, William T.Hasting's Syllabus of American Literature, Wal­ter C: Bronson's American Poems, AmericanProse, and EDglish Poems (four volumes), PercyH. Boynton's London in English Literature, andJoseph W. Beach's The Technique of ThomasHardy.

They are mailed to the Alumniwith the compliments of the President."Pamphlet Number 1 comprised two re­cent addresses by President Burton, on "TheBusiness of a University" and on "TheBusiness of a College." The President'ssound analysis and clear presentation of theessential functions of a university and of acollege unquestionably proved of profoundinterest to our Alumni, as they did to hishearers on the occasion of the addresses.While he dwelt especially on the "discov­ery" phase of a university's business, he­cause of time limitations, Dr. Burtonsummed up with effective comprehensivenessthe fundamental purpose of a university, asfollows:. "The. bu�iness of a university is discovery,dlssem111�tlOn of knowledge, training of menf?r ser:vIce, and development of personali­ties ; discovery of new facts and, by the col­lection and interpretation of them of newtruth; the dissemination of k�owledgethrough ?ral speech and printed page,but especially of the results of the dis­coveries which t.he scholars of the uni­versity have made; the training of men tomake practical use of their knowledge in theservice �f. mankind; and the development ofpersonalities capable of large participation inlife and of large contribution to life.". Conc.erning. the college, he points out whatIts main business must be: "But after allthe main things that I want to �ay and t��mphasize is that the business of the collegeIS to develop personalities, personalities thatare capable of large participation in life andof large contribution to life. If we recognizeth�s to be th.e business of the college, every­thing else WIll in time take care of itself."For some years past there has been agrowing confusion in the understanding ofthe chief business of a university and of acollege. President Burton's addresses haveserved well to clear the atmosphere and tobring us back to certain fundamental con­siderations. Our Alumni, we know, feel in­debted to him for this service, coming at atime when some such clarification is needed,not only in their own minds but in the mindsof all who are thoughtfully interested inhigher education. '* * *Dr. Joseph H. White, Swimming Coach,died April 14th, after an illness of ten days.An article concerning his deathDeath of appears in the UniversityCoach White Notes. In the passing of CoachWhite the University has lost.a man who for fifteen years has exerted amar�ed influence on the life of the students,particularly of those who were fortunate tocome under his special tutelage, for manli- ness, right living, and sportsmanship. Hewas a man of upright sincerity, high cour­age, and uncompromising ideals-the kind ofman and coach who by nature and practicemet up fully with every ideal that DirectorStagg desired and has so repeatedly em­phasized.One fact concerning Mr. White's courageand abilities as a swimmer might here bementioned: During his life as a swimmer,to the writer's knowledge, Coach Whitesaved the lives of many people, and on oneoccasion, single handed, he saved the livesof three drowning women. A record of hislife will show it to have been a life of realservice. 'How his high character impressed the stu­dents is attested by the following editorialfrom the Daily Maroon:"The significant loss to the world of ath­letics and to the University through thedeath of Dr. J. H. White, for many yearscoach and leader of the varsity swimmingsquads, cannot be expressed. Dr. Reedcharacterized him as a 'gentleman and thehighest type of man.' No greater tributecould be paid him than, in a retrospect ofhis career in athletics, to find that he stoodfor the, ideals of a gentleman in fitting menfor competition and in competitive games.In the meets, for which Dr. White trainedand coached his men, he is said often tohave sacrificed victory for the cause of good,sportsmanship. Thus he made an ideal thegoal of his endeavor; the ideal of fair play .Ideals never can be expressed in words.'Dr. White has left his, beloved sport.But the ideals for which he stood will guidethe Maroon teams as long as the Universityexists."The 1924 Swimming Team headed a briefcampaign and quickly raised funds for abeautiful memorial tablet in his honor, tobe placed in Bartlett Gymnasium. CoachWhite has left us-but his loyal servicehas added to, and has left a permanentimpression upon the traditions and spiritof the University, the spirit of manly cour­age, high service, true sportsmanship.* * *On page 2'70 of this number of the Maga­zine appears a list of the candidatesCollege in the election in the College Asso­Election ciation being held this month.

Since the January meeting ofthe Alumni Council, at which time James1916 at Reunion Last JuneA. ("Jimmie") Donovan, '13, became theChairman of the 1924 Reunion Committee,things have been decidedly "on the move".With "Jimmie-the- Thirteener" acting as of­ficial driver, the good old machine has beenmaking marked headway; in the next fewweeks the accelerator will be brought intoplay-and when the Committee "steps onher" there will be a great burst of speedwhich will carry the· Reunion to unques­tioned victory with a grand-stand finish andflourish! But all this, remember, please, isnot for the Committee itself, or for theClass or other officers who are working fora grand Alumni Day finish.

Brown, ''OS.Publicity, John E. Joseph, '20.This is not a "novice" Committee. Prac­tically all of them are tried-and-true veter­ans at the "Reunion business". You willnote, for instance, that the Sing, as fromtime immemorial, is in charge of "Ned"Earle-the champion singster of the Uni­verse. "Bill" Lyman, catering at the Sup­per, knows more about menus and averagealumna and alumnus appetites than anysupper-server on the Globe. "Lyn" Lesch,as Stunt starter, rivals anybody that Bar­num, the Ringlings, Sells-Floro, or anyone,two or three-ringer ever saw. Nadine Hallis distinctly a classy Class classifier,"Danny" Brown recently rolled in all theway from Los Angeles, deserting a climaticCalifornian career to again specialize onProgram Specials.

Mr. R. R.Coon, '74, of Grand Island, Nebraska, iscorning in to take charge of the Fiftieth An­niversary of the Class of 1874. The Twenty­fifth Anniversary of 1899 will be duly ob­served by a dinner and a midnight supperat \Vinnetka-a program of feasting inmemory of Shanty days. The Class of 1904will, of course, be duly and properly initiatedinto the Shanties, on the occasion of theirTwentieth Anniversary; but in addition theyare going to put on the "Passions of 1904"at the Reunion Supper; inside informationadvises. that it will make Ziegfield, the Ter­race Gardeners, and all the other cabaretand stage specialists gasp in amazement.The newspapers have already arranged theheadlines. And '04, furthermore, is sendingits announcement over the -radio, throughthe courtesy of the La Salle Hotel. TheClass of 1909 will observe its Fifteenth An­niversary with a big dinner, followed by abus-ride through the parks, "moonlight ortwheels". The Tenth Anniversary of 1914-;­one of our great and irrepressible classes-l­will be observed with a men's Field Day atOlympia Fields, a women's tea and musi­cale, a rousing delightful dinner, and astartling stunt on Alumni Day. The Classof 1919 is keeping its activities secret-oneof· the first "class secret societies" in thehilarious history of higher education. And'23 promises to live up to its fine showingmade as seniors at the Reunion . last June.Other classes, which have naturally andcorrectly formed the "happy annual habit",110t to be outdone, or outdid, or outdooded,are planning "their ·own stuff", as they say ..Among them, '05, '07, '12, '16, '17, '18, and'20, have something of their people, by theirpeople, and mainly for their people.

Youwill. no doubt, hear in the very near futurefrom our new secretary, Mr. J. Harry Har­greaves, whose address is 707 Merchants'National Bank Building, Los Angeles.We had a great meeting last night, March24. Somebody said it was "corking" yetneither "corking" nor "great" fully expressesit. Seventy-five of us met at dinner at theUniversity Club. To have three trustees ofthe University as our guests was unusualin itself, and they gave us talks that wereinformational, inspirational, and absolutelythrilling. "Mr. Harold Swift, '07, went back to thebeginnings of the University, and showed ushow unique it was in the history of educa­tion for such a great university to springfull blown into being, with a super-man aspresident, great men on the faculty, and amillion dollar endowment, when it openedits doors and waited for students to come.He said it "caught the imagination of peo­ple." He certainly captured our imazina­tious and interest as he told of the darinz,stimulating. reckless fifteen years of Presi­dent Harper's administration. As he spokeof the work of President Judson, and thatof President Burton, we were all thrilledwith pride and enthusiasm for our AlmaMater.Dr. Wilber Post, '01, spoke on develop­ments in medical school affairs.: He pic­tured the way in which the medical depart­ment was being brought into close touchwith the academic department.Mr. Albert Sherer, '06, spoke on the wavin which alumni and alumni associationscan be of service to the University.We all felt that it was a great challengewhich these gentlemen gave us.Then followed the election of officers,which resulted as follows:President, Miss Eva M. Jessup, '07.Vice-president, Dr. John Vruwink, '22.Secretary, Mr. J. Harry Hargreaves, '22.Treasurer, Mr. James Sheldon Riley, '05.Right now I want to pay tribute to ourformer president, Dan Ferguson.

It is a delight to know them.The fact that such people live, is the bestevidence that the world is advancing, Colum­bus .hopes to welcome them again.The campus at Ohio State University isringing with praises today of the masterful,scholarly address which Dr. Goodspeed gavelast evening in University Hal1. Not aword of dissent. not a word of criticism; onlypraise and admiration for a 'monumentalpiece of work in literature, executed in ahighly scientific and scholarly manner.This, lecture reflects and has reflected inColumbus, in central Ohio, and at the OhioState University, the highest' credit on theLJ niversity of Chicago. The University ofChicago Alumni Association of Central Ohiohas accomplished something new in invitingthe public to share with us an evening whenwe were entertaining one of our own facultymembers. And certainly the high class ofwork which is being done at the Universityof Chicago was brought home anew last eve­ning to many students and thinkers in centralOhio. .The audience was good. Practically allwe could accommodate. Never have I seenmore careful or earnest attention given to aspeaker.Our experience here can and should be re­peated in every locality where an alumniclub has been organized. It would also makea good setting for the organization of newclubs. We thank you most heartily for giv­ing' us the privilege of entertaining the Good­speeds. 'Cordially yours,William S.

I ves, Professor H. C. Smith,Mr. D, B. Lightner and Dean L. M. Spiveymet the train and escorted them to the Tut­wiler Hotel, where a dinner was given intheir honor by the alumni of the U niversitvof Chicago in the city. About forty alumniwere present. Each person was called uponto state at what time and what departmenthe attended in the University, after whichDr. Frank Wiflis Barnett introduced Dr.Goodspeed who spoke most interestingly of. his recent experiences as a lecturer, and ofthe encouraging conditions in Chicago.The alumni then accompanied Dr. and Mrs.Goodspeed to the Phillips High School audi­torium where fifteen hundred people weregathered to hear the Iecture of the evening.Dr. Goodsped proved, conclusively that thehistory of, the New Testament not only is in- teresting to the scholar, but can be made in­teresting to the people.The Birmi-ngham News gave wide publi­city to Dr, Goodspeed's visit and a largeportion of this speech, as well as an interest­ing interview which was reported' the follow­ing day,Before leaving Birmingham, Dr. Good­speed delivered short addresses at the chapelexercises of Birmingham-Southern andHoward colleges, where he was mostenthusiastically received by the studentbodies.We are always glad to have faculty andfellow alumni VIsit us and we hope that, inthe near future, you are going to sendanother representative.With very best wishes to you, I amCordially yours,Ludd M.

Our guests of honorwere Dr. and Mrs. Edgar J. Goodspeed.Ours is surely a prompt crowd. By sixo'clock nearly everyone had arrived; so thatall were able to meet our guests before din-ner was called..Business was transacted informally be­tween courses during the. dinner. W. P.Dickerson presided.After the reports of the activities of thepast year. there was a short discussion as tothe organization of our clubs in the future.I t was finally decided to merge the two clubsunder the officers of the present Alumnaeclub. The women will continue theirmonthly- luncheons as before, calling them­selves the Women's Division of the Alumniclub. Evening meetings, when Chicagofaculty members are in town, will be open tomen and women as before. The only changeis that all are working under one organiza­lion. 'Only one set of officers will be atwork, and dues will be paid only once, where­as the women paid to both organizationsbefore.In view of thi-s change the directory inthe M'agazine should now have the name ofthe new secretary, Mrs. F. C. Loweth, :;'277De Sota Avenue, Cleveland Heights.At the close of the dinner, Dr. Goodspeedspoke briefly giving us a few glimpses of thelatest happenings on the campus, and bring­ing from President Burton a message full ofcheerful prophecy as to the future of theUniversity, and of warm, personal greetingto Chi-cago's alumni.

The Magazine has alreadydescribed Dr. Goodspeed's lecture, "WhyTranslate the New Testament," so we shouldhave known what to expect. Yet we werefairly carried away by his infectious enthus­iasm, his well aimed thrusts at newspaperdiscussions of New Testament translations,and his marvelous ability to impart knowl­edge without being pedantic.We hope that other clubs will be able tohave Dr. Goodspeed as you suggest in theMagazine. vVe give his lecture our unquali­fied endorsement.Sincerely yours,Nell C.

Of the new members acquired-all ofwhom seem interesting-are Stanley Roth, -1918, and Dr. Julius Gauss (Rush) 1898.The wild March winds which romped out­side were no match for the breeziness withinand there was something of interest underdiscussion from soup to "Go Chicago" withwhich we wound up our meeting in no meanfashion.As part of the program, Ruth Bozell dida little friendly advertising by exhibitingpictures of Wisconsin stars who will appearin town soon in "Twinkle. Twinkle," theUniversity of Wisconsin production.Then Florence Morrison gave us such avivid account of her summer of 192.3 spentin Spain that everybody felt an urge to packmantilla and sombrero and sail for the sunnypart of Southwestern Europe on the nextboat. Miss Morrison assured us that be­cause of natural.. environmental conditions,Spain will undoubtedly long retain many ofher old customs and provincial charm inspite of political changes.The chief business under discussion was aplan to persuade Dr. Goodspeed to come tous during the next month, if possible. Ifthis plan materializes we believe we - shallaccomplish three things: put ourselves onthe map of Indianapolis as a group thatreally functions in the life of the city; givethe thinking public opportunity to hear whatDr. Goodspeed has to tell; and, what per­haps we will concede is of greatest import­ance - give some of the right kind of"advertising" to our own strongly-believed-inUniversity of Chicago.Most sincerely yours,Mabel Washburn,Secy., Indianapolis U. of C.

Goodspeed, '97, Ph.D. '98Dr. Goodspeed's series of public lectures on hisNew Testament Translation, now being given through­out the west under the auspices of our Alumni Clubsis meeting with great success. Details on his tau;and lecture will appear in this and following numbersof the Magazine. -The plan of sending Dr. Edgar J. Good­speed to various alumni club. centersthroughout the country, to give his lecture"Why Translate the New Testament" underthe auspices of the local clubs, has met withgreat success. When the announcement onthe plan was first made, through the Maga­zine and by letters to the clubs, the responsewas most gratifying. Many of the clubs,east and west, north and south, immediatelyexpressed a desire to have the lecture. Lim­itations of time, however, and some geo­graphical and traveling considerations, com­pelled limiting the Goodspeed lecture tourto clubs in the near south, the middle-west,and the Pacific coast districts. The - successof the lectures in the first places visited-e­Birmingham, Cleveland, and Columbus-isset forth by letters in this May number.I n addition to the foregoing three, -ar­rangements have been made for public clublectures, as follows: Louisville, April .27;Lexington, Ky., April 29-30; Peoria, May 2;Indianapolis, May 5; Cincinnati, May ,6;Milwaukee, May 9'; Minneapolis-St.' Paul,May 12; Cedar Falls-Waterloo, Iowa, May13; Des Moines, May 14; Kansas City, May252 THE' UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE15; Lawrence, Kas., May 16; Los Angeles,May 19-20; San Francisco, May 23-24; Den­ver, May 28-2'9; and Wichita, May 31. It ispossible that one or two places may beadded later. This itinerary, however, covers18 clubs in all, and occupies the time of Dr.Goodspeed for the entire Spring Quarter,as allowed by the University. Furthermore,it should be added, some .stop-over lectureswere delivered, as traveling schedules per­mitted, in such cities as Grand R.apids, Gales­burg, Jacksonville, Joliet, where the localalumni, though not organized as clubs, en­thusiastically assisted. Reports from theselecture-meetings and other features 'on thelecture and tour will appear in forthcomingnumbers of the Magazine.As an interesting "side-light", one of theSouth's best feature writer-s, in an inter­view with Dr. Goodspeed printed in theBirmingham News, says of him: "I hadthought 'of an older man, a man much morestern and sedate-Professor of Greek with­out a sense of humor-only to find a veryhuman person. curiously winning of man­ner and cordiality." The publicity receivedby the University, incidentally, on this tourhas been exceptionally wide, uniformly en­thusiastic, and of the highest and most desir­able type:Among other desirable results of the tourhas been the strengthening of all of ouralumni clubs where the lecture-event wasconducted. In a report to the Alumni Coun­cia I at the April meeting, by ChairmanHenry D. Sulcer of the Clubs Committee,the belief was expressed that the obviousand general success of the plan justifiedsimilar lecture plans in the future.Alumni Council Third Quarterly MeetingThe third regular quarterly meeting ofthe Alumni Council, for 1923-1924, was heldin the Alumni Office on April 28th.

Thirty men on the staff and in theproduction departments headed by DonIrwin, manager, and Bester Price, Abbot,and fifty men in the chorus and cast underthe tutelage of Hamilton Coleman, producer,had been working night and day for a monthprevious to the opening to insure the successof the show, which for their satisfaction was'acclaimed heartilv by everyone present.As was expected by the Friars, severalparts of the show were superior to others."The Temple of Mah Jongg" song anddance, . the music of which was written byRobert Pollak, also co-author of the show,and which was staged by Hamilton Coleman,received more applause than any othernumber ever offered by the Order. TheRomeo number by Gordon Smith also was'well appreciated. Two of the pseudo girlsseemed so genuine that it was hard forpersons in the audience to believe that theywere boys. The dancing here was veryclever.The third number which satisfied thespectators especially was John Longwell'sDiogenes act with the song, "Looking forthe Truth," written by William Tilden.Longwell appeared on the stage in a barrelholding up a .lan ter n in his search for anhonest man. Besides singing the song andastounding Plato, Seward Covert. with hisrepartee, he did an eccentric dance in hisbarrel. Leland Neff, an elevator boy of the Parthenon Hotel in Athens, and WilburFiindlay, captain of the bell hops, assistedLongwell in his act.The sets, designed by George Downing,were of special interest to college people.In the Shakespere scene, an exact reproduc­tion of "The Mermaid Tavern," the loungingplace of Shakespere and his friends was con­structed and every effort was made topreserve the Elizabethan atmosphere by theactors in this scene. The Parthenon Hotelof Athens, which was the place of action inthe second act, was to n ed to produce anote of burlesque as it was conceived by theauthors, Pollak and Oppenheim in the book.Memories of Green hall were rejuvenated bythe Prologue of the show. There the heromourned and drank the "fatal potion" beforedeparting for the London of Shakespere.The scenery was built under the direction of.T ack Kirk, who was assisted by JamesWines and a gang of freshmen. The paint­ing was done by the Cox studios.For the second time parts of the showwere broadcasted from "KYW," premierradio station of the middle west. All ofthe principal songs were sung before themicrophone, and the show was explained tothe unseen audience by Wilson Wetherbee,'19, who manages the station. This newfunction of Friars was handled this year byLeslie River, Press manager for the Order,who was also instrumental in arranging thefirst broadcasting of "Filming of Friars" in1923.After two years of a student orchestras'playing the music, Bester Price, Abbot,switched back to professionals and hired theState-Lake theatre orchestra to provide themusic.Few activities besides the Blackfriars havemonopolized the interest of the campusduring the last month. Final details of theInterclass Hop have been decided upon; Re­union and the Inter-fraternity Sing are re­ceiving increased attention.For the first time in its history the Inter­class Hop will be held on a weekday,Wednesday , June 4. This departure wasnecessitated by a conflict with a Commerceand Administration School annual banquetand dance which had been registered alreadyfor May 23, the date desired by the Hopleaders. For the senior class, Russell Carrellwas substituted in place of Russell Pierce,'who had to resign because of illness. Thefinal list of leaders will be: Russell Carrelland Helen Wells for the seniors; MauriceKirk and Catherine Rawson for the juniors;T.

Preliminaries in both meets arescheduled for Friday, May 30, with the finalsstarting at 1 :30 on Saturday, May 31, andrunning until darkness.While the high school men are at theUniversity they will, as usual, be the guestsof the thirty campus fraternities, who, to­gether with a number of alumni who areto be in Chicago for the meet, will havecharge of the entertainment of the men.Baseball ,Baseball at the University this year hasnot been marked by any great amount ofsuccess, despite the fact that the team isprobably stronger than any that has playedin the Chicago uniform for the last fouryears. The Varsity has been unsuccessful in .all of its conference encounters to date, buton three occasions the defeat was by thenarrowest of margins, and on foreign'diamonds, where the unfamiliar surround­ings may have hampered the Varsity mensomewhat. Coach Norgren's team is show­ing steady improvement as the seasonprogresses, however, and still has anextensive schedule before it, so that thereremains considerable possibility of the teamfinishing in first division.TrackThe track team has not got under way,hut has. been hit hard by the ineligibility otRussel who was counted on for a sure firstin the. high jump in both dual and conferencemeets.. Harry Frieda, who took a closesecond in the Pentathlon at the Penn relays,is one of the ,men who are sure to shine inthe field events. Frieda also starred in thefield events at the relays at Ohio StateUniversity. TennisIn forming this season's tennis team CoachDudley B. Reed is faced with the problemof scaring up some good men for thedoubles play. With Merkle, former Michi­gan star, graduated out of conference circles,Captain Eddie Wilson seems the class ofthe conference so far as singles play isconcerned, and Kimball Valentine seems theprobable choice for the other singles job.Th,e Maroon coac�, however, is loath to playWilson 111 both singles and doubles, and inany event, it is doubtful if a partner couldbe found who is anywhere near equal to the·captain in speed of play.In addition to the regular Varsity sports,the new Intramural program, which wasinaugurated by the Athletic departmentduring the winter quarter, is going strongerthan ever this spring. The Athletic depart­ment has taken the Inter-fraternity baseballunder its wing and has provided specialdiamonds for the Greeks to play on. Thetournament will last until the end of themonth when the winners of each of the sixleagues engaged in the tourney will playofffor the championship of the University.The men, however, are not the- only oneswho have intra-mural sports this year. Inthe Womans Physical Department an Inter­hall swimming tournament is under way,with Beecher Hall in the lead, and an Inter­class indoor league is in the process of'formation. In addition, inter-class competi­tion is being run off both in volley ball andbowling. .From the point of view of wide-spreadcampus interest, number of participantsamong both the men and the women, andgeneral activity, enthusiasm and success, theintra-mural sports this year have definitelywon a permanent place on the campuscalendar.

"It was one of the greatest lecturesI have ever heard," was a very commoncommentary on it. "Inspiring," "scholarly,""convincing" were other descriptives applied.The full grown ovation which Doctor _Good­speed received at the close of his lectureproves how he was received.I hope'that it is possible for many othercommunities to hear Doctor Goodspeed onthis subject. If any guarantee is neededthat he will more than make good, I herebymake it. Congratulations to Professor Good­speed and to the University of Chicago!We're proud of both.Ward G. Reeder, Ph.D., '21.Ohio State University.Suggests Association f01" Graduate School ofSocial AdministrationMy dear Mr. Pierrot:As a former graduate student in S. S. A.,I am very anxious to see our departmentrepresented in the Magazine. Since ourschool is no longer identified with theSchool of Commerce. it is more of a dis­tinct unit than ever. Though the school issmall at the present time. I believe thereare enough interested alumni to warrant theorganization of a separate association for theGraduate School of Social Service Admin­istration or at least recognition as a sep­arate entity in the Magazine. The recentwriteup about Miss, Edith Abbott, our dean,was gratefully received.I am sure that my former fellow studentsjoin me in my request for more completerepresentation for S. S.

Big Ten Alumni Appreciate Mr. StaggDear Pierrot: March 22, 1924.We had a very interesting luncheon forMr. Stagg yesterday and he made a wonder­ful speech at the Western Conference Ban­quet at the Astor Hotel last night. Themore we see of Mr. Stagg the more reasonall University of Chicago Alumni have tobe proud of him and what he stands for.The Alumni of the other Conference Col­leges could not have received their owncoaches with more enthusiasm and spon­taneous admiration than they did Mr. Stagg.Yours very truly,Ernest E. Quantrell, ex '05.Coach Stagg a True SportsmanDear Adolph:Every Chicago man will get a little thrillout of this item from Walter Camp's sportpage in Collier's-and everyone who knowsthe Old Man will know how deserved It IS.Sincerely, W. A. McDermid, '08.Appreciation and sympathy for a gallant enemy isa common mark of the true sportsman. Alonzo A.Stagg, the great Chicago coach, illustrated this oncewhen he was complimented on a defense that hadstopped Elmer Oliphant, then playing for Purdue."I had to do it," Stagg said with almost an air ofapology. "I felt sorry for the boy, because he's sucha wonderful fighter."After that game Oliphant's eyes filled with tearsas he spoke briefly to a group of Purdue students whohad waited for him outside the dressing quarters.Perhaps the hurt in his boyish heart might have beenhelped if he had known how much his chief opponentadmired him. It is telling no secret to say that hedid know it soon afterward. Every boy who meetsStagg, be he a Chicago man or Chicago's opponent, isa little better for the contact.Good Cheer From VenezuelaCaracas, Venezuela.My dear Pierrot:Greetings!

Bate, some time can­didate for freshman, class president of '11,and crony of "Dick" Myers in the verdantdays of 1907-8? Well, Fred gets himselfattached unofficially to the ReparationsCommission at Paris, and then his wife takes. the Prince of Wales "jazzing" in the Mont­marte cabarets. All's wen till the ChicagoTribune gets hold of the news, and thenFred gets his picture in the paper and hiswife gets an article, all of this last April 17th.The Bates are referred to as "prominent inthe American colony," at Paris. The papersays that the Prince danced "fancy stepswith Mrs. Bate" for 25 minutes. Also that"Mrs. Bate, wife of the American officialwho with her husband have been almostconstant companions of the prince duringhis Paris visit, was Miss Vera Arkwright,daughter of the late Capt. E.. W. Arkwrightof the Coldstream Guards."All right, Fred, when the Prince of Walesruns for President of the United States we'llrun you for Vice President!A Letter to Nineteen-FourtsenersDear Classmate:Our friendly enemies, the Class of 1911(the outfit that tried to make us toe themark when we were Freshmen) recently re­ceived wide and favorable comment by- giv­ing the University some manuscripts. Thiswas their method of recording their tenthreunion. It was stated that 191.1 was thefirst class to materially remember AlmaMater after graduation.On the other hand, a good many mem­bers of the class of 1914 have been donatingto a University cause, not once but ten timesby their contributions to the 1914 Loan, Fund.This money is being intensively used bymen and women in the undergraduateschools to permit them to complete courseswhich might otherwise be nipped in the bud.If it were not for this and similar funds,1911 manuscripts might never be studied orappreciated, for the people granted loansrate high as students and endeavor earn­estly to make the most of their time at theUniversity.The loan fund has been used once everytwenty-two days for ten years. Lately, re­quests have been granted every twenty days.With increasing numbers of students flock­ing to the campus, the demands will be 'evengreater as there has been no permanentsolution for the "submerged tenth."Our reunion group in 1919 voted an an­nual . per capita assessment of $2.00 to in­crease .the ·fund with a 3 per cent allowancefor class incidentals. Transportation foryour check is enclosed.The tenth reunion committee is consider­ing plans for June 6, 7, and 8. Everyone isexpected, of course. Will you not in the 257next ten days, also include with your check,your permanent address, suggestions for thereunion and a word to the effect that youwill be there? .Sincerely yours,William H. Lyman, '14.Secretary.Concerning Pledging by the Women's ClubsEditor University of Chicago Magazine:April 18, 1924.I not in the April number of the Maga­zine, page 212, the following statement: "Inpostponing the pledging one quarter, theclubs followed a suggestion made by DeanTalbot last Spring that the two weeks rush- .ing be changed, and three quarter rushingwith preferential bidding be substituted."This is not quite in accord with the factsand I beg the courtesy of the Magazine inorder to give a correct version.The suggestion that I made was to theeffect that the upper class members ofClubs should unite with other upper class. women in the University in making the firstcollege year for incoming students a periodof general adjustment to University condi­tions and therefore that the Clubs shouldfollow a suggestion urged in November, 1922,by Mrs. Flint and Mrs. Gale and postponepledging to membership in their Clubs untilthe second year.On April 3, 1923, the Clubs voted asfollows:Entering women of less than nine majors stand­ing shall not be rushed and pledged until theirsecond year, or fourth quarter in college, this ruleto go into effect at the beginning of the Fall. Quarter, 1923.During the Winter Quarter the Clubs re­scinded their action and proceeded to pledgemembers. Yours "truly,Marian Talbot,Dean of Women.Progress in Shanghai College, ChinaShanghai, China.We wish to write our many friends of theopportunities for work and service that havecome 'to us here. Our enrolment this fallhas completely broken all former records.We have a total of 660 students on the cam­pus, 300 of whom are students in the acad­emy department and sixty are students inthe sub-freshman class, a class opened toacademy graduates who for some reason orother are unable as yet to carryon collegework. Of the 300 college students, thirty­fi ve are young women. We became a co­educational institution about three years ago.These students come from all parts of China,the majority of them from the nearby prov­inces. Perhaps the larger number comefrom' mission schools but we also receivemany from Chinese government and privateschools:We are very happy because of the newteachers we have this fall. Dr. and Mrs. H.S. Bucklin of Brown University are here258 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEfor one year in the interests of Brown inChina. Dr. C. S. Miao, (Chicago-A.M. '21,D.D. '21, Ph.D. '23), one of our own grad­uates, has returned to his Alma Mater totake a leading part in the Christian work ofthe institution. Mr, George B. Cressey andMr. L. Trevor Helfrich of the NorthernBoard will be studying the language this'year, . but we are looking forward to theirhelp next year.During the past year our academy planthas been enlarged and we began the yearwith the academy as a unit distinct fromthe college department. The two build­ings are already full to capacity, as alsothe college dormitories, and tl.e opportuni­ties for work in this department are prac­tically limitless. The Woman's Hall is com­pleted and in use and is a source of great joyto the young women. Located as it is, along­side of the college campus, the girls enjoytheir own grounds overlooking the riverwhere- there is room for an their outdooractivities-tennis, walking and games. Inthe course of time it will be beautiful withtrees and shrubs and flowers, as the old cam­pus now is.We wish you could all have been here atchapel the morning that school was opened.Our chapel is a part of the oldest buildingon the campus___, Yates Hall. It seats about400 students. Over 600 students were pres­ent and of co irse not even "standing room"was left. WI en we looked about the roomthere was an iir of newness in the place, forthe woman's auxiliary during the summerhad undertak. n the decoration of the wallsand woodwor c. It is a beautiful chapel andwe all love it, but it is far from adequate forour needs.Let me tell you about the opportunitiesthat lie ahead. We have not yet had timeto take a religious census, but from previousfigures we know that the large majority ofcollege students are Christians. Our aims inShanghai College are for high collegiatestanding and we believe we are gaining thoseaims; but they would not be worth our whileif we did not have as our highest aim thesending out of young men and women withthe best Christian training that can be giventhem. And 'Ire believe that even in this highgoal we have cause for rejoicing. Duringthe years 1913 to 1922 we have graduatedninety-seven young men. Of the ninety-fourwho are living, sixty-four are in active Chris­tian service, six are in government or pri­vate schools, nine are in business; the re­maining four have been in Christian workat some time since graduation. All the grad­uates in our class of 1923 were Christiansand we have high hopes of the good thatcan be accomplished by these young men.In our academy department, the majorityare non-Christian .. Here lies the largest op­portunity for evangelization. These youngboys come from all parts of the country anda great many of them have never yet comein contact with the presentation of Christ. We are planning to put great emphasis uponevangelism in our academy this year, forwith the many years that lie ahead of thosehere, the students may receive a great dealof training for a life of Christian service.The Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. havealready taken steps to do their share in theChristian activities of the institution. Weare glad of these groups of students who sowillingly put their shoulders under the bur­den of caring for the welfare of their fellow­students.Our needs for buildings and equipmentare many, but we feel our greatest needs arefor your prayers and interest and a deeperrealization of our own dependence upon Godin this gigantic task of bringing the King­dom into China.Yours in His service,Victor Hanson, '13, A.M.

A Large Program for Future Developmentof the UniversityPresident Burton has announced a largeprogram of future development for the Uni­versity. The President, Deans, and Trus­tees have been engaged for months in astudy of the directions of its future growthand have determined upon several greatforward steps.The first of these to be carried into effectis the organization of its new Medical Schooland the erection of its Hospital and Labora­tories. In order to bring these into closerelation with the Science Buildings of theUniversity, it has been decided to erectthem, not across the Midway, as was for­merly intended, but on the north side of it,occupying the two blocks from Ellis toDrexel avenues and from Fifty-eighth toFifty-ninth streets. The alleys in the blocksand the street between them have been va­cated by the city for this purpose and en­tirely new plans adapted to this locationare well on toward completion.The extensive plans for the expansion ofthe Libraries made twenty years ago havebeen restudied, and it is expected in the nearfuture to begin the erection of new buildingsproviding greatly enlarged space for books,readers, and departmental Iibraries.:An equally thoroughgoing study has beenmade with a view to developing a distinctlybetter type of college education than is nowcommon in the United States, and of pro­viding better residential conditions for col­lege students.Strengthening of the Faculty, especiallythrough the securing of men eminent inresearch, will be a leading feature of theadvance program. These and other plansfor the educational development of the Uni­versity will call for large additions to theendowment and for the erection of severalnew buildings, notably the AdministrationBuilding and additional buildings for theSchool of Education and the housing ofstudents. ,The plans of the University are alreadywell advanced but 110 public campaign forfunds will be undertaken immediately.The Cover on Alumni PamphletsSecretary Edgar J. Goodspeed advises thatthe drawing of Mitchell Tower from Hutch­inson Court, which appears on the cover ofthe Alumni pamphlets being mailed out, isthe work of Harry Dodge .T enkins, a noted. Chicago artist. His son, Hilger Perry J en­kins, received the S. B. degree at the De­cember. 1923, Convocation. 259Death of Coach WhiteCoach Joseph H. White, for more than15 years director of Varsity swimmers, diedat the Illinois Central hospital April 14,following a ten days' illness, during the lasttwo of which he had been unconscious. Itwas unofficially reported that heart poison­ing was the cause of death.Coach White died with his wife at thebedside. Mrs. White had arrived froni Hay­ward, Wisconsin, where she had been visit­ing, a scant hour before he passed away ..The swimming coach is survived by sixchildren, three men and three women. Theyare: James B. 'White, W. D. White, LesterB. White, Mrs. Margaret Hazelhurst, Mrs.Lillian' Boch and Mildred White."Doc" White, as he was affectionatelycalled, has been known in conference circlesfor the last fifteen vears as one of the lead­ing water coaches �f the west, having pro­duced championship swimming teams in1909, 1916, 1919, 192'0. In addition hecoached winning water basketball teams inthe three last seasons.Among the stars Dr. White has producedare Walter Earl, J. F. Meagher, Craig Red­mond, Edward Blinks, Red Crawford, Willi-son and Nebb. -Dr. White was born in Spring Valley,N. Y., in 1867, being 57 years old whenhe died.The funeral services, which were attendedby the Athletic Department officially, wereheld Thursday afternoon, April 17, at theHyde Park Baptist church. Floral tributescovered the altar. The Rev. Charles W.Gilkey officiated, and Director A. A. Staggand Professor William D. Harkins, of theChemistry Department, also spoke in hightribute to the character and services of Mr.White.The members of the swimming team werehonorary pallbearers.President Angell Lectures at the UniversityJ ames Rowland Angell, former professorof psychology and dean of the colleges atthe University, was welcomed back in hiscapacity as President of Yale University byhis former colleagues on the faculty whocrowded Mandel hall April 3 to bear hisobservations on "The Place of Education ina Democracy."After being presented by President Burton,President, Angell analysed the workings ofthe modern democracy, showing its imper­fections and offering a searching educationalprogram as the remedy.260 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE"The government considers a man quali­fied to take 'his part in politics if he canpass a litera-cy test," he said. "But abilityto read is by no means adequate protection'against the moral and narrow political lim­itations of democracy. For the averagenewspaper is actively partisan. People are,however, accustomed to believe as gospeltruth whatever they see in 'print, so that themodern voter, guided by his party news­paper, is no better off than his grandfatherwho cast his vote as the landlord or per­haps the priest dictated. Reading is insuffi­cient; we must learn to reflect, to judge."Education as we see it is itself faulty.People claim that America is being over­educated, and there is no doubt that insti­tutions are overcrowded and inadequatelyequipped, and that there is tremendouswastage in misapplied education,"The ideal education held out by PresidentAngell as the cure for these ills is basedupon better selection of students in respectto their abilities as determined by nature andnurture, to the training of the same and toits proper location in the structure of so­ciety. "Such a system," he said, "may wellsave us from some of the political pitfallsinto which we have recently been lookingwith such humiliation."Social Science Research in the City ofChicagoThe group of Social Science Departmentsof the University has this year been en­gaged in a large piece of co-operative re­search with a view to determining the feasi­bility of using the city of Chicago as alaboratory for social and political research.The results have been so gratifying that anadditional grant has recently been made forthe prosecution of this work for a furtherthree-year period. The development of thisresearch places the University in a whollyexceptional position as to facilities for thistype of investigation, and affords an unsur­passed opportunity for pioneer work in thedevelopment of research in the field of socialsciences.World-Wide Activities of University ofChicago ScholarsThe influence of the University of Chicagojust now is extending far beyond its ownquadrangles. Professor James Henry Breas­ted, the Director of the Oriental Institute,is just leaving Egypt. Professor Carl D.Buck, Professor of Comparative Phililogy,is the Annual Professor at the AmericanSchool for Classical Studies at Athens. Al­gernon Coleman, Professor of French, isdirector of the American University Unionin Paris. Paul Shorey, Professor and headof the department of Greek, is lecturing asan exchange professor in the four univer­sities of Belgiurri-Louvain, Ghent, Utrecht,"lnd Brussels. John M. Coulter, Professor and head of the department of botany, hasjust returned from a six-months visit in theOrient, where he lectured on every singleday of his tour, before universities, colleges,and schools. John M. Manly, Professor andhead of the department of English, has re­cently delivered the Lowell lectures in thecity of Boston. In the latter part of thesummer, Charles W. Gilkey, a Trustee ofthe University, will sail for India to deliverfor the University the Barrows lectures onreligion.Phi Beta Kappa Honors for Eight StudentsFor especial distinction in general scholar­ship eight students, six men and two womenwere elected to Phi Beta Kappa at the Uni­versity of Chicago at the One HundredThirty-second Convocation on March 18.The list includes William Russell Frederick­son, Ira Freeman, John' Hobart Hoskins,Victor Levine, Amy Claire Root, HelenJosephine Steinhauser, Joseph Taymor, andHarold R.

John Billit;gs Fiske Prize in Poetry,consisting of EdWIn Arlington Robinson thedistinguished American poet, Bliss P�rrvProfessor of English Literature in HarvardUniversity, and John Matthews Manly, Headof the Department of English at the Uni­versity of Chicago, are of the unanimousopinion that none of the poems submittedthis year is worthy of the prize. In thereport of the Committee of Award, ProfessorManly, the chairman, said: "I do not recallany other year' since the foundation of theprize in which, if the winning poem had notheen submitted. the Committee would nothave felt justified in assigning the prize toone of the others. I suppose we must becontent to realize that poetic inspiration doesnot flow in a steady stream and to hope thatin the future its flow will not be too inter­mittent."Four awards of the prize have alreadybeen made, and most of the successful poemshave appeared in book form. Former judgesinclude Robert Frost, Edgar Lee Masters,Louis Untermeyer, Robert Morss Lovett,and John Livingston Lowes- of HarvardU niversity.UNIVERSITY NOTESAn American Translation of the Old Testa­ment Authorized by UniversityAn American translation of the Old Tes­tament, to be published by the Universityat Chicago Press, has been authorized bythe University Board of Trustees.

His father, a local mer­chant, was treasurer of M uskingum Collegefor thirty years; his father-in-law, Dr. DavidPaul. was its president for fourteen years.The photographs published in the 1919May magazine were kindly supplied by Mr.J. Knox Montgomery, President of Muskin­gum College. - In supplying the photographs,President Montgomery wrote us: "Severalof the warm friends of his boyhood daysstill live here and cherish his memory, andat least one member of the band, which Dr. Harper led while here, still lives here." TheAlumni Office supplied copies of the Maga­zine, photographs of University buildings, acopy of Goodspeed's History of the Univer­sity of Chicago, and other material for themuseum.The photograph presented herewith, show­ing the birthplace as now a museum, wastaken by Mr. Roland F. Holloway, '20, ad­vertising director of the University of Chi­cago Press, while on- an auto tour throughOhio.This picture of the Harper birthplace willagain prove of great interest to our alumni,particularly to those who were at the Uni­versity during President Harper's lifetime.The rugged simplicity of the building, withits solid. sturdy appearance, reflects sorne-.what the character. of the. strong and ableleader whose birthplace it was, as well asthe sturdy character of his Scotch-Irishparents. It possesses a pioneer atmosphere,suggesting the source of "valiant strength,""sagacious energy," and "vigorous idealism"which many have commented upon as socharacteristic of Dr. Harper.As the years pass, no doubt, many Alumni,touring through this section of the country,will visit this simple shrine; ever memorableto all Chicago men and women.THE LAW SCHOOL 263Law SchoolLaw Association March LuncheonProf. E. W. Hinton was the speaker at theluncheon of the Law School Association helelMarch 27, 1924, at the Morrison Hotel. Hediscussed practice and procedure in AmericanCourts, and his remarks could hardly becalled complimentary. He stated that if acommittee should be appointed to devise theworst possible system, he suspected that thecommittee's report would be as follows:"We, the committee, recommend that nochange be made in the present system, butthat it be adopted in toto."Mr. Hinton illustrated his talk from hisown experience both as a practitioner andas a Judge, and as usual kept his hearershighly entertained. It should be added thathe does not consider conditions hopeless, butthinks Chicago Law men should grapple withthe problem of improvement.The following were present: Henry F.Tenney, president, Arthur Abraham, ArchieBlumstein, Maurice Yates Cohen,' Harry F.Chaveriat, Harry X.

Magill.J. D. '20, in the Yale Law Journal forJanuary, 1924. Mr. Magill was for two years a member of the Law School faculty.In the first part of his article. Mr. Magillconsiders- the meaning of the term "income"as used in the. Sixteenth amendment and therevenue acts; particularly whether an annuitvis included within the conception of incom-eaccepted by the Federal courts. The English,continental, and state statutes are briefly dis­cussed, .as throwing light upon the com­monly understood meaning of income. Hisconclusion is that annuities are ordinarilyconsidered to be income, and consequentlymight properly be taxed by Congress underthe Sixteenth amendment.The body of the article consists of a de­tailed analysis of the provisions of the re­venue acts particularly applicable to the typi­cal cases of annuities and similar periodicalpayments: commercial annuity contracts, non­commercial annuity transactions, terminablerights to the income of property held 111trust, and terminable charges on property,created by will.Franklin D. Jones, J. D. '12, member ofthe varsity debating team in 1912, is theauthor of a new book entitled "Trade Asso­ciation Activities and the Law," publishedby McGraw-Hill Book Co., Inc., New York.For several years Mr. Jones was associatedwith Mr. Joseph E. Davies while the latterwas Chairman of the Federal Trade Com­mission. When Mr. Davies retired from theCommission, the two formed a partnershipunder the name Davies & Jones and areengaged in law practice in Washington, D. C.The book was reviewed r ecerrtly both inthe Harvard Law Review and in the Annalsof the American Academy of Political andSocial Science. The latter says:"The author's purpose is first, to aid offi­cers and members of trade associations byinforming them as to the legality of pro­posed acts and plans; second, to present tothe public at large the vast extent of legiti­ma te association activities and show theirvalue and importance. The work has beendone· with such extraordinary thoroughnessand clarity that the author might wen havestated a third purpose for his book: that ofserving as a text for advanced universitycourses in commerce and government."The plan of the work is admirable. Afteropening chapters on the general legal rulesgoverning competition and a summary oftheir protective purposes, the author takesup the chief activities of trade associations."The Harvard Law Review says of it:."This is by far the best book that has yetbeen written concerning trade associations­the best not only from 1he legal, but alsofrom the practical and the economic stand­point."264 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEtu-un_ul-uli-UII-UII";"'HII_UII-UII-lIn-uu-un-IIU-IIU-IIU-UII-n-Un-UII-Un-IIU-IIU-UU-nR-UII-UI-lln-UU-UII-HH-UI-+i . .

There havebeen the occasional small town woman prin­cipal who has grown up with the system andthe very rare and wide-visioned woman whogained a temporary footing in the largersystems by the temporary defeat of thepolitical machine. But it has not been untilrecent years that there has been felt acrying need for vital, well-equipped and cul­tured women in the administration of thegirls of every high school in the country.As one looks back over the history of thecollege or university dean, it is most sur­.prising that the office of adviser of young-wornen should have originated in the collegeinstead of in the secondary school where thegirl in the adolescent period is more flexible,more .perplexing, and more in need of guid­ance and help.Within the past five years the increase inthe number of deans of girls in high schoolsin an parts of the United States has beenvery marked. The growth, while rapid, hasnot been too rapid to be permanent. Theincrease in the membership in both nationaland state organizations of deans points notonly to the growing interest but also tothe definite recognition on the part of edu­cators. For a time school administratorseverywhere asked these questions: "What isthis position of dean of girls? How does itfunction in the system? Why should an­other expensive officer be added to the payroll?" ..The dean's energies lie in the study of theadolescent girl. All wide-awake people arebeginning to realize that it is the duty andbusiness of women educators to study, toanalyze, and to help to adjust and remedythe difficulties, peculiarities, and emotionaltangles of hundreds of young' girls in thehigh schools of this country. No longercan the mere success or lack of the same inacademic subjects be our only measure ofthese young people. Too vital have becomethe matters of social adjustment, worthy useof leisure, health and the acquiring of afine sense of how to live with one's neigh­bor, for administrators to be content tobrand a girl a success or failure on scholasticstanding alone.The dean of girls must become the per­sonnel worker, interested in every girl andher development. It is her duty not only to.wqrk. on scholastic problem cases, but also on the social problem cases. By the socialproblem is meant the under socially devel­oped girls as well as that much-talked-ofproblem, the over socially mature pupil.Naturally, under her jurisdiction is the studyof the adolescent emotions involving sexproblems, the misdirected energies and theinstability of youth. These must all bedirected into the most effective channels. Inthe few years that the dean has been func­tioning, most thinking people have realizedthat the position is not only justifiable,' buta real necessity.In the incipient stage of the dean's work,the greatest emphasis and demand on hertime was the making and carrying out of asocial program. Today there is no onewho does not acknowledge that social con­trol is part of the dean's program, but thereis a steady growth toward a more scientificattitude toward the position. Those withthe far-reaching vision realize that this typeof work branches out into and has itsfundamental basis in medicine, social service,ethics, and psychology. Scarcely has thesurface of its possibilities been scratched.The University High School has for manyyears carried out an extensive personnelprogram for the supervision of the individualgirl, In brief, it has had as its aims: (1)The supervision of the academic work; (2)the study of the failing and the gifted girl;(3) the establishment of home cooperation;(4) supervision of health and physical ac­tivity; (5) social adjustments; (6) thedevelopment of habits of responsibility andservice.By an adequate system of cards and files,the dean is kept in constant touch with theacademic accomplishment of the individualgirl. A great deal of time is given to thestudy of the failures and very close contactwith parents is encouraged and demanded.Out of this type of work starts the casehistory method of administration of girls.If it is discovered that failure is not due tovpluntary inattention or lack of effort, thegirl is then studied with a view to findingthe cause and eventually the remedy.For the sake of example, H. A. is re­ported for failure in work or for some un­social attitude. In brief, this method ofprocedure is followed: (1) A completephysical history is taken, not only of herpresent state but her condition. from birth,also contributing prenatal forces; if 'possible,physical history of both parents and familyof both parents. (2) A study of her out-THE HIGH SCHOOL DEANside activities is made. This includes. �hetype of her associates, her manner of livingand her vacations. (3) Information con­cerning her various scholastic achieve�entsand difficulties is collected. (4) Her dIsP�­sition or temperament is judged by.peop.le inschool and out of school. (5) Her intelligentquotient 'is secured from the results ofseveral mental tests...At the completion of such a diagno sisusually enough material has been secured. todefinitely solve and help remedy the diffi-culty.. hFurthermore, the dean, in cooperation WItthe medical director attempts to sttmulateparticipation and enjoyment in the mostnatural, wholesome, and healthful sports.There is offered the best outlet for the newenergy and almost overwhelming emotionsof this neriod. In connection with thisdepartment, hygiene charts are kept week�y.These arouse an interest in forrning habitsof walking, eating the proper food, sleepingthe necessary number of hours, and personalcleanliness. At times nutrition classes �reformed to take care of the underweight gir l..

Each gl:lautomatically becomes a member of thisclub upon· entrance into the high school.The club is not in itself a social orgaruzationbut has as its aim the promotion of ademocratic spirit among all girls and theestablishment oof high ideals of service. Tofurther the spirit of democracy, SOCIal gath­erinzs are held for girls alone, for girls andthei; parents, and for girls and the faculty.Each year its various ccrnrruttees do someform of philanthropic work. For example,a scholarship of one hundred and fi�ty ?ollarsis raised to help some needy gIrl. in theChicago public high �chools; parties forchildren and old folks In the University ofChicago Settlement are held. monthly;special holidays, such as Christmas andThanksgiving are celebrated by helpingsomeone else to be more comfortable andhappier. An attractive club room WIth a�­joining kitchen is kept in order and ISmanaged by the girls. In these roomsstudents may rest, study, eat luncheon, andentertain. Through all these channels op­portunity for development. <;>f il!jtia�ive, re­sponsibility, and dependabIh�y IS grven.In conclusion, the whole aim of all of thescientific study and work of the dean ISdirected toward helping the girl of high­school age to develop into a wholesome andcontributing citizen; to learn to inter1?ret lifein terms of high ideals and accomplishmentrather than in terms of financial success; tocreate in young girls a. desire for genuineservice to the community: and to furnishthe incentives for the finest type ofwomanhood. 265I SCHOOL OF EDUCATION NOTES IA report of the School of Education Re­union and Dinner will appear in the Junenumber of the Magazine.The Department of Art Education s�nta large exhibition of its work to the meetingof the Western Arts Association at Dayton,Ohio, May 6 and 7.

They uncovered painted walls, templefrescoes, ancient altars, and. parchment frag­ments. Professor James Henry Breasted,who was able near the close of the GreatWar to penetrate with an armed escort tothis frontier fortress, has examined theseworks of art and has described and repro­duced them in "Oriental Forerunners ofByzantine Painting."The story of the expedition that made thisvolume possible is one of romantic adven­ture. As for the documents themselves,their importance can -scarcely be overesti­mated. The history of the city and fortressof Dura, where these documents were pre­served, epitomizes the conflict of East andWest, the rise and fall of empires, and theintermingling of oriental and occidental cul­tures.Dura-Salihiyah lies in the plain of Khana­Mari in the heart of the Syrian desert, onehundred and forty miles beyond the desertmetropolis of Palmyra.. It was left like awave mark by the receding tide of Graeco- Macedonian invasion under Alexander andhis successors. The plain of Khana-Mariwas a· green, fertile oasis, on the desert lineof communication between Persia, Baby­lonia, and Assyria on the East; and AsiaMinor, Egypt, and the Mediterranean world011 the West, and it became a flourishingoriental horne of Hellenistic culture.On the plain of Khana-Mari, a number ofbattles in the age-long struggle of Eastagainst West were fought. But the city ofDura was too far from the Mediterranean. to tall under Roman control, and it sufferedno violent destruction. It gradually de­cayed, was forsaken, and covered with aprotecting mantle of sand.A Christian ascetic dwelt alone in itsruins in the reign of Constantine. It wasa desert when the Emperor Julian passedit in 363 A. D. For sixteen centuries It waslost to all but prowling Arabs who stirredto heroic memories of Saladi� (S�lah ed­Din) gave its jutting ruins the name ofSalihiyah, "place of Salah."During the Great War Dura - Salihiyahagain played a part in the struggle of Eastagainst West. Early in 1920, General Cun­ningham, Commander of the British Army011 the Euphrates, after a sharp engagementwith the Arabs, threw his farthest outpostinto its silent defenses.It was at this time that Professor Breas­ted, bac� from Nineveh and resting in Bag­dad, was offered the opportunity of visitingthe hitherto lost city. LHe met General Cunningham at AlbuKamal, twenty-seven miles from Dura, andunder an escort of British East Indian sol­diers, dashed across to the fortress whichwas still very much of a war area. 'Standing in this home of ancient Syriancivilization, which had been completely lostto the Western wor Id for sixteen centuries,Professor Breasted viewed its massive fort­ress, its archaic architecture following tra­dition reaching back to remote ages, andits rich mural decorations revealing Graeco­Syrian art. It was as if it had all been con­jured up by magic out of the desert, and hehad before the British evacuation but .asingle day in which to record and preservethis marvelous find.The party went to work with note-books. and cameras, and succeeded 'in securing aremarkable record of the more importantpaintings and documents." The n,ext m�r�ing th�y dashed acrossno-man s land 111 an arabanah, and weremet by an escort sent out from Deir ez­- Zor.

The studieswere under the direction of Mr. Freemanand were contributed to by twelve other in­dividuals. Among these were several who'have been connected with the School of Edu­cation as graduates or students. F. DeanMcCluskey, A. M. '20, Ph.D. '22, Associate.in Education at. the University of Illinois,had a large share in the investigation andused part of his experiments as his Doctor'sthesis.' Miss' Carolyn Hoefer, A. M. '18,Research W 0 r k e r with the Elizabeth'McCormick Memorial Fund of Chicago,with Miss Edith Keith, Kindergarten-Pri­mary Supervisor of Joliet, Illinois, conductedthe study of the use of motion pictures inhealth education. Mr. Howard Y. McClusky,who is a candidate for his Doctor's degree ineducation, was associated in several of theexperiments. Mr. A. P. Hollis of the De VryCorporation and a former graduate student,also participated. Mr. David - E. Walker,Asst. Superintendent of Schools in Evanston,Illinois, and a former -graduate student of theDepartment, collaborated in the study of theuse of the motion picture film in teachinghandwriting. The report includes thirteenindividual studies. Most of these consist ofseveral experiments. Experiments wereconducted in public schools of seven citiesand in two university schools. In generalthe purpose was to compare the effectivenessof various visual methods such as slides,stereographs, charts, maps, pictures, andother demonstrations and to measure theeffectiveness of oral presentation either aloneor in association with these. A further aimwas to discover which methods are mostsuitable for the various kinds of subject­matter. Particular emphasis was laid uponthe study of motion pictures because of theprominence which they are assuming inpresent-day education.Miss Helen Cook of the faculty of theUniversity Elementary School will givecourses in methods for the intermediategrades during the summer at Emory Uni­versity, Atlanta, Georgia.Important Gift to the LibrariesEdward S.

Franz Cumont, distinguishedBelgian archaelogist, says in his introductionto the volume:"The discovery of which Mr. Breastedgives an account . . . is one whose im­portance can hardly be exaggerated. Itthrows vivid light upon numerous questionsof which science still awaits the solution."The Dura paintings and documents openeda new vista leading back from Byzantine artto an earlier Oriental background. That artwas itself a precursor of European pre­Renaissance painting and the Dura-Salihiyahdiscovery is thus a cultural link connectingthe Orient and later Europe. Mr. Breastedhas reproduced in color large compositionsthat give for the first time a clear concep­tion of the processes employed by theGraeco-Syr ian artists in drawing and group­ing figures.The documents add to our knowledge ofthe political history of ancient Syria. Forthe history of religion they have even greaterimportance ill the indication they give ofreligious symbolism, attire, and ceremonial.Since Professor Breasted's visit to Dura,the most important of the wall paintingshas been destroyed by Arab depredations.It is therefore to his published record thatthe archaeologist, the historian, and the artstudent must turn for knowledge of thisextraordinary piece of discovery.Incidentally, this record is published inunusually attractive format. It is illustratedwith fifty-nine figures in the text, two maps,and twenty-three plates. four of which arein color.Harry Bingham.Class Anniversary Reunions!Final preparations for the Annual JuneReunion are now under way.

DeanJohnson has continued as its President; its Advisory Councilincludes these men:DEXTER S. KIMBALL, Dean of the Engineering Colleges, Cor­nell University; JOSEPH FRENCH JOHNSON, Dean of the New YorkUniversity School of Commerce; GENERAL COLEMAN DUPONT,.the well-known business executive; PERCY H. J9HNSTON, Presi­dent of the Chemical National Bank of New York; JOHN HAYSHAMMOND, the eminent engineer; FREDERICK H. HURDMAN,Certified Public Accountant; JEREMIAH W. JENKS, the statis­tician and economist.To young men of college age, the Institute says: " Matric­ulate at a college or university if you possibly can; thereis no substitute for the teacher." To older men, the universi­ties and colleges, in turn, are constantly recommending theModern Business Course of the Institute.Alexander Hamilton InstituteIn Canada:C. P. R.

Swift was laying the foun­dations for the present organization of meat hand­ling and distribution which is now Swift &Company.Mr. Swift recognized that it would be better andcheaper to ship dressed meat long distances than to shipthe live animals. He therefore saw to it that Swift &Company's packing plants were placed in the most ad­vantageous locations -near the sources of live-stocksupply where the hauling of the live stock and the haul­ing of the dressed meat would produce the shortest po s­sible route to the corieurner at the Iea st expense.Nowadays,twenty-three modern packing plants,thou­sands of Swift refrigerator cars, hundreds of refrigeratedbranch houses, and hundreds of traveling salemen in­sure a wide distribution of wholesome meat products tocity, town, and village.This service brings to your dealer government-in­spected meats' prepared and handled in accordance wit IImost exacting standards. Swift's Premium Hams andBacon, the preferred meats in .thousands of homes, "sn­verIeaf" Brand Pure Lard, Brookfield Butter, and a widevariety. of Swift's meat and prod uc e foods reach yourdealer at their best through this highly perfected service.The cost of this nation-wide service is surprisingly low.Ifwe were to waive all our profit, the price to your dealerwould be reduced only a fraction ,of a cent a pound.'Swift & CompanyFounded 1868A nation-wide organization owned by' more than46,000 shareholders :ilflattiage�Florence Genevieve Fanning, '11, to Law­rence Northcraft Dunihue, February 9, 1924,at Chicago.
