XVII MARCH, 1925 No. 5THE Alumni Campaign is on ! March,1925, witnesses the greatest effort evermade by Alumni of the University of Chicago on behalf of theirGo, Chicago! Alma Mater. For overthirty years ourAlumni, as they grew in numbers and influ-ence, have extended their organizations andcarried on activities, of varying degrees ofimportance, for the advancement of theCity Gray. But ali of this worthy activityhas been "preliminary," in one way or an-other, to a great united effort that some daymight be required. Now the "cali" hascome. The University faces an emergencythat can only be successfully met by theprompt and generous support of its Alumni.Through various channels of publicityour Alumni have been informed of thenature of this emergency, of the aims ofthe University, and of the organization andaims of the Alumni in this world widecooperative endeavor. The time for actionis nere — action by ali campaign workers,by ali Alumni everywhere. That actionshould, indeed it must, express itself interms of maximums. Responsibility nowrests not only on Alumni in the mass, buton every individuai alumnus and alumna.In doing your share let the element of sacri-fice be a feature of your loyalty — give andget, make it your maximum, do yourutmost !The marked success of alumni campaignsof other institutions in very recent yearshas been a notable tribute to the intelligentand appreciative loyalty of the alumni andalumnae of those institutions. Thus farour Alumni have never been called upon tostrive to the utmost for their University.Many have wished for such a cali. Nowthe opportunity is before us. As Universityof Chicago Alumni we are now distinctly"in the limelight." Surely we, too, can measure up fully to the responsibilities uponus. "For Chicago— We Will !"# * *Some months ago the writer was con-versing with an alumnus of another insti-tution on the general question of alumnifinancial support. This"Too Generous?" alumnus ventured thef o 1 1 o w i n g unusualstatement: "Chicago will have either acomparatively harder or a comparativelyeasier time in getting financial support fromits alumni than most other institutions."On my questioning why, he went on to say,in words to this effect :"At other universities and colleges, forinstance, when the students needed andwanted club house facilities, for men orwomen, or both, the students and alumnihad to conduct big campaigns, dig downinto their pockets, to get and enjoy suchhelpful social and cultural conveniences.But at Chicago, with your fine ReynoldsClub and Ida Noyes Hall, ali that has beenprovided by the University, without anyeffort on the part of students and alumni.When other universities wanted a fieldhouse or a stadium, again the students andalumni had to provide the funds in mostcases ; but Chicago is so fortunately situ-ated that no burdens for such purposes areplaced on either students or alumni. Yourlibrary, laboratory, and other educationalfacilities have been distinctly sùperior tothat afforded by most colleges or universities ; your beautiful buildings have con-tributed artistic and inspirational values,and Chicago has provided a Faculty thathas won both national and even interna-tional reputation. Now, possibly, your University, with the best intentions, of course,has done too much for its students — hasdone so much that they have come to expectand rather take for granted ali these unusual73174 The University of Chicago Magazineadvantages. If such is the case, if yourstudents — which means, generally, yourAlumni, also — do not fully appreciate thesemany advantages, they will be somewhatlike spoiled children, continuing to expectthings but not willing to help create. If,on the other hand, they understand andreally appreciate what has been given them,they will respond with greater enthusiasmand cooperation than would otherwise bethe case."This illuminating comment will not bewithout interest to many of our readers.This alumnus went on to say that he hadmet many Chicago Alumni and in his opinion they did sincerely appreciate what theUniversity had sought to provide for themand, in any emergency, would respondaccordingly. We certainly share his opinion. But, after ali, the "test" is now be-fore us,* * *In recent months it has been our goodfortune and pleasure to meet Alumni, insmall and large groups, in various sectionsof the country. ThevAlumni Interest ™et UP°" «station todiscuss the Program ofDevelopment and theobjective sought by the Alumni in thismovement. Aside from the cordiality whichwas in evidence everywhere, and profoundlyappreciated, we were constantly impressedwith the serious and high minded interestshown in the affairs of the University andits welfare. The keenest interest was constantly manifested as to President Burton,as to various members of the Faculty, con-ditions at the University, and the objectives,both present and future, which the University is seeking to bring to realization.At every meeting there were voluntaryexpressions of appreciation and gratitudeof what the University had done or wastrying to do for its students. These variousexpressions represented not only the under-graduate and the graduate departments inpoints of view and feelings, but also theappreciation of those who had taken workat the University for only brief periodswithout seeking a degree.Every representative of the Universityhas had the same gratifying experience.One felt distinctly proud to represent aninstitution which had so uniformly won theadmiration and sincere affection of itsgraduates and former students. If intenseinterest, willing attention, sincere appreciation, and intelligent enthusiasm are anyindication, we are thoroughly convinced thatour Alumni will rise to the occasion andrespond most loyally to the cali for theirassistance and cooperation. Our Alumni are proud of their University; the University will have ampie reason to be proudof her Alumni.Perhaps the most difficult thing to evalu-ate is education. This is true not only asto the value of an education that any indi-PMiira^nti^i vidual has received but also^aucationai ag to the yaIue of educationValues £or soc;ety Jn general. Thesuccess of an individuai is usually due to anumber of important factors, yet unques-tionably one of the most important, inmany cases the most important factor insuccess is education. But its actual "success value" must usually remain a matterof uncertainty so far as definite measure-ment is concerned- It is quite universallyagreed, however, that its "actual" value isfar above its cost. And certainly, for thefullest "life value" — for broader understand-ing, for culture, for entertainment, for alithe elements that make a life rich and deep— education is unquestionably the most im*portant if not the sole factor. As to thevalue of education to society, in discussingresearch and educational values in a recentaddress, President Burton said :"You can calculate the commercial valueof the telephone to the stock holders of tele-phone companies, or perhaps to the commercial houses that use it. But who can reckonits enormous indirect educational and socialvalues. You may be able to calculate howmany days' wages have been saved by thepractical abolition of smallpox, but whocan estimate the total benefit to mankind ofthis achievement, or the extirpation of hook-worm and yellow fever? You can find outhow much salary the professors of historyin America earn, or how much profit thebooks on history yield to their publishers,but who can measure the enormous value ofthe fact that our intellectual vision is notbounded by our personal memory, but ex-tends back over thousands of years and isevery year penetrating more deeply andmore widely into the past."Of ali members of society, certainly thealumni of our universities and colleges, thedirect recipients and beneficiaries of education, ought to comprehend and appreciatemost clearly the doublé value of education— value to the individuai and to society, in-tangible in many respects and yet always acompelling force for advancement and progress. The alumni of many institutions haveshown and proved such appreciation. Chicago believes that her alumni, now that theopportunity is presented, will in like measure rise to the occasion and justify herfaith in their understanding and appreciation.President Ernest DeWitt BurtonTo the Alumni:THIS appeal to our Alumni is something in the nature of a "Cali toArms." Without asking whether so militant a figure is appropriateto our situation, we may be sure that we are entering upon an arduouscampaign that will demand our best endeavors.I am issuing the cali to the campaign with every confidence of itssuccess. Our cause is good. Everything that we are asking for is neededand will be used for the highest good of the youth of the country. Wemay go forward with something of the spirit that animated knightly soulsin the age of chivalry, but with even higher purpose and clearer concep-tion of the way in which we are to accomplish it. Ours is a high enter-prise for the University of Chicago and the cause of education.r- Let us ali do our part and hearten one another with a mutuai enthusiasm and with a generous devotion to the Alma Mater. That "knowl-edge may grow and life be enriched," let us adopt the motto that isilluminated upon the walls of Bartlett gymnasium, and that has inspiredour athletes in many a hard-fought contest, "For Chicago, I Will !"Ernest D.

I am clear that President Burton's policies for the institution aresound and I feel that this is our opportunityas alumni to show our devotion to the cause.President Burton and the Board of Trustees have determined upon a broad, compre-hensive pian of development; it touches alidepartments of the University; it contem-plates the best work possible in the CollegeDepartment, the Graduate Schools and inResearch. There is a great need for ali ofthese at the University and the appeal isbig and broad and fine enough to enlistthe support of every one of us.When Mr. Rockefeller made his final giftto the University, he said that he expectedthe people of Chicago and the Middle Westto accept the responsibility of taking theUniversity on to stili greater accomplish-ments. I believe that we alumni have anoutstanding opportunity to show the peopleof Chicago and the Middle West that webelieve the University is abundantly worthour backing.I can't believe that we, the alumni, canfail to do our share.Harold H. Swift, '07,Chairman, Board of Trustees.* * *Program Success Depends Much on AlumniThe interest which the Alumni throughoutthe country have shown in the undertakingbefore us is most encouraging. In preparingfor the campaign about to start, they haveshown, by effective steps of organization,that they are ready and able to accomplishthings when the time arrives.The cali for funds in the $17,500,000 campaign is not to be confined to Chicago, forthe service and influence of the Universityextends throughout the whole Middle West,in fact over the entire country.With an Alumni body of over 25,000 livingin ali states of the union, the University ofChicago must and can draw support from aliparts of the nation in its 1935 program. Thefull extent of the campaign success will belargely determined by the hard, loyal workdone by the Alumni. We have confidencethat the Alumni will render a worthy accountin this great enterprise.Robert P. Lamont, Chairman,Committee on Development. Thomas G.Doimelley'sChairman of PublicityLeon.

I shouldlike to cali to your attention two things thatseem to your Alumni Executive Committeeas most significant.First, the University needs our help. Ow-ing to the manner in which the Universitycarne into being and the fact that for itsfirst quarter century it had, from endowmentand gifts, sufficient fùnds for its growth dur-ing that period, it was naturai that itsfinancial problems were not of a kind tointerest students and Alumni. It has nowbeen made clear, however, that our University has reached that period where, as in thecase of other universities, the public at largemust contribute to its proper maintenanceand development.But the public will not contribute unlessthey can be assured that those most inter-ested in the University, those most directlybenefited by it, have done their fair share.We, the Alumni, represent our Universityto the public. And so the Trustees haverightly come to us and have asked our helpin this inspiring program of making oursthe "best possible University." It is thefirst time in our Alumni history that sodirect, so frank an appeal has been made,and in making it the Trustees have given us their full confidence and trust. It is forus Alumni to show that we can be dependedupon — that this confidence and trust isrightly placed.Second, the appeal is to ali Alumni. Thecomplete program outlined for the University by President Burton is of such a naturethat every alumnus or alumna will find init provision for the development of that partof the instiution in which he or she is mostinterested. The "Program for 1925" is onlythe beginning of the great development pian,but it is to the 1925 program that we are in-vited to give our support — both because itcomes first and because in it is includedespecially the Endowment feature whichis the corner-stone of the whole structure.The quota fixed by the Alumni is $2,000,-000. Judged from any angle — numbers, financial capacities, loyalty and interest — thisquota is surely well within our abilities tomeet. Its tremendous ^assistance to ourUniversity, financial and otherwise, in thistime of need, can hardly be overestimated.It is the sincere hope of your Committee thatour Alumni contributions will help to estab-lish and assure the Endowment fund, sovitally needed, and that you will recognizethat in contributing to it you are making the"best possible contribution" to your University.Herbert P.

F.Mls.T2,JD.15Speakers CommitteeTHREE CHAIRMEN OF COMMÌTTEESForgive Us Our DebtsA college education has a money value of$72,000. For this we paid the munificentsum of $500. It was a good bargain but withadvancing years we may be troubled with asneaking doubt as to the fulfillment of ourpart of the transaction.We were youngsters not many years agoand we then had a juvenile conviction thatour parents and the world in general owedus ali the essentials of a livelihood. Ourpossession of a Sunday suit, a bicycle andthe enjoyment of three meals a day withextras were regarded as a matter of right.Our blessings were taken for granted. Under the pressure of parental and pedagogicalauthority we absorbed some knowledge andeventually were privileged to claim the University of Chicago as our Alma Mater.Not until then, and probably not until wehad left the University and had gone insearch of a means of living, were weweighted with any sense of obligation. Wc have since set up our households and takenour respective jilaces in the community. Weare not only aware of, but are assumingour responsibility with respect to family,State and Civic institutions. We nowknow that education must be provided forthe younger generations. As good citizensand ethfcal Alumni we discharge our liabil-ities and pay our debts. Perhaps we havebeen unconscious of an indebtedness to theUniversity that remains unsettled.When we were in the University in pre-war days, we paid as tuition $40 a quarterof $120 for the school year. The instructionthat was offered, though not wholly assim-ilated, cost the University $380 a year. Fora four-year course and a Latin diploma theUniversity received from each of us $500and the cost to the University was overthree times that amount. The training thatwe were given not only cost more than wepaid for it, but it is worth forty-eight timesthe sum it cost.John. P. Menlzer, ' 98 George R. SchaeFFer, '06Chaiiin.anfihicaifpDistrict Vice.- Chairman PublicityeALUMNI CAMPAIGN OFFICIALAThe Alumni Campaign 181An Eastern college professor, who wasvoracious for figures, recently made public areport on the comparative earnings capacityof the untrained man, the highschool graduate and the college graduate. Based upona long study and an agile computation ofstatistics, the professor gives the total aver-age earnings up to the age of GO of the threetypes of men. The income of the untrainedman is placed at $45,000, that of the highschool graduate at $78,000 and that of thecollege graduate at $150,000.

And now the great cali, the greatopportunity has come. Chicago is askingyou and me and every alumnus to do something for her. It warmed my heart whenDr. William Lloyd Evans, Ph.D. '05, saidto me, "Harman I wish I could do as muchfor Chicago as she has done for me. I owe her much. I will head the committee in Columbus. I will do my best." Likewise,Victor W. Sincere, at Cleveland. A man ofvery large business interests. This is whathe said: "Harman I ara rushed every minute,my schedule is planned for weeks ahead, butwhen you put it that way, I will serve andhead your committee in Cleveland."

The record of thisschool both in teaching and research has stimulated an enlarging stream of students untilthe available classrooms, shops, and library are entirely insufficient to meet the demandsplaced upon them. This building group will cost about $1,400,000.Social Science BuildingLeadership of the University of Chicago in the field of Social Sciences is an achieve-ment of great distinction. In order to perpetuate this distinction, it will be necessary tounite the five departments of History, Politicai Economy, Philosophv, Sociology and Politicai Science into one school with its own building. This will effect closer cooperation andcoordination, and will aid materially the extension of research. This building will cost$1,000,000.182Proposed Buildings 183The contribution of the Chemistry Department to the prestige of the University hasalways been notable and is increasing steadily. To maintain this distinction and providefor greater accomplishments in both teaching and research another laboratory is indispens-able. To continue with the present facilities would add seriously to the embarrassment ofthis department and the University, as Chicago is the only university in the country with alarge and important Graduate School which has not a new and modem chemical laboratory.This building is to cost $800,000. „General Administration BuildingThis building will fili a long felt need of the Administrative officers of the University.Not since its foundation has the University had a General Administration Building.While the site for this structure has not definitely been determined, two locations are under advisement; one, on the line of Fifty-eighth Street at Ellis Avenue; the other, on theline of Fifty-eighth Street at University Avenue. The cost of this necessary building willbe approximately $1,000,000.184 The University of Chicago MagazineMathematics BuildingBecause of the lack of a building of their own, the Mathematics and the Astronomy de-partments have had to share the Ryerson Laboratory with the Department of Physics.While this arrangement has greatly impeded the progress of the Mathematics and Astronomy departments, it has at the same time restricted the expansion of the Physics Department. This new building which is to cost $800,000 will relieve the present hampering situ-ation and make for greater efficiency and achievement in ali three departments.Modem Languages BuildingThe rapid growth of the Modem Languages departments of the University has reti-dered the present facilities most inadequate. In designing the new building ampie provisionhas been made for larger class rooms, reference works, and opportunities for conferences,ali of which will greatly enhance the work of both students and instructors in this depart-ment.

In this brief article, of course, onlya sketch can be given of the results obtainedby alumni efforts for a limited number ofcolleges and universities. The devotion toalma mater, the time, energies and work re-quired, and the frequent financial sacrificesmade by thousands of alumni can only beinferred from the results.For many years the alumni of Americanuniversities and colleges have felt a profoundand sincere obligation to their schools forthe educational, cultural, professional andother advantages conferred upon them,These advantages, they realized, were conferred generally at a cost so small that itwas out of ali proportion to the actual valueof the benefits obtained. They realized, fur-thermore, the need and desirability of highereducation, and the necessity for maintainingand assuring its progress. They understoodvery clearly the contributions that their almamaters were making to education, to sci-enee, to culture, to the welfare of mankindand the advancement of civilization in general. They desired, too, that the many advantages which had been so democraticallyconferred upon them should be improvedupon and should be made available for com-ing generations. They comprehend clearlythe true and full meaning of the statementthat "the salvation of America rests pri-marily on her educated men and women."This understanding, this appreciation, en-thused by intelligent loyalty, expressed it-self spontaneously in various form of or-ganization, to maintain their college anduniversity friendships and interests, and toaid, though indirectly at first, in the perpetu-ation of the institutions to which, as alumni,and as educated citizens, they felt deeplyobligated. As the years passed these alumniorganizations grew in numbers, influenceand activity, and their service to their almamaters more and more took the form offinancial assistance and constructive cooperation. In this phase much was accom-plished over a period of about half a cen-tury, and from time to time various institutions were carried over difficult emer-gencies in their history through the interestand direct aid of their alumni.The year 1919, when economie changesbegan to force many institutions "to thewall," however, witnessed the beginning ofalumni activity on behalf of their hard- pressed institutions that rs without parallelin the annals of education anywhere in theworld. Starting that year, campaign aftercampaign was inaugurated by the alumni,and, as a result, some astonishing and trulyinspiring results were achieved. Full statis-tics are not at present available as to thesemany alumni endeavors, but sufficient is atband to reveal to what extent alumni loyaltyand timely aid have contributed to the stabiliti', assurance and progress of universityand college education.Fairly complete records are at hand forsome 75 alumni campaigns that have beenconducted during these last six years. Inthese campaigns contributions were receivedfrom almost 300^00 alumni, former students,and undergraduates. The total of their gifts,in this brief period, has aggregated a sumconsiderably over $67,000,000. In the largercampaigns, especially those connected withthe private colleges and universities, the aver-age gift of an alumnus was $387; in two orthree instances the average gift was doseto $500. Almost equally important, and asa result, directly and indirectly, of the pub-licity, contaets, and interest developed, therewas added the impressive sum of $49,000,000obtained through gifts from the public andfrom such helpful agencies as the GeneralEducation Board. (In our own campaign,for example, important gifts have alreadybeen received as announced by the Trustees, while the General Education Board hasgenerously made a gift of $2,000,000, condi-tioned upon the raising of another $4,000,000for the University's endowment.) The grandtotal, consequently, obtained for these 75institutions in this brief six-year period ofalumni endeavor, is some $116,000,000. Itis worth pointing out thàt within this shorttime the sum raised was equal to more than60 per cent of the total endowment thatthese institutions had accumulated in overfifty years. As someone recently remarked,"Surely these alumni campaigns must beright, or they couldn't be so uniformly suc-cessful." The alumni knew their cause wasright — and they went out to tight and winfor it!As a general summary of these alumni efforts, millions were added to the endowmentof their institutions; teaching salaries wereraised and the faculties strengthened; newbuildings were erected — laboratories, dormi-tories, student club houses, libraries, sta-rliums, field houses, class buildings; addi-188.Some Alumni Aciiievements 189tional necessary research equipment was obtained; endowed professorships and scholar-ships were greatly increased in number andamount; many deficits were wiped out andmany needs were met; and the opportunitiesfor the best in higher education were increased and assured. What greater tributeto higher education could the alumni pay?What greater proof of their sound appreciation, high loyalty, mature interest, en-lightened citizenship?"The cali of Alma Mater" is no idle statement. Nor is "Alma Mater" a closely re-strictive term; it embraces, as the resultshave repeatedly demonstrated, ali who havecome within the fold of the institution forintellectual, professional, spiritual, social andcultural contact, guidance and assistance.In the light of these achievements, itwould be strange indeed if the Alumi of theUniversity of Chicago, now that "our cali"has come, did not likewise measure up totheir responsibilities and opportunities. Noinstitution, so helpfully assisted through theabove-mentioned campaigns, was in greaterneed than is the University of Chicago; noinstitution has done more for its studentsthan has Chicago; no institution has ever re-quested less of its alumni than has Chicago;none has greater faith or greater pride inits alumni than has Chicago; no institution,so young as Chicago, has so quickly in-trusted so much of its affairs in the handsof its alumni; no institution has a body ofalumni who have obtained greater generalsuccess in ali walks of life; none has morefrankly, more clearly, or with greater confidence sent out a cali to its alumni for con-structive cooperation. If our Alumni, asbased on numbers, at least, merely carne upto the average of alumni contributions in anumber of other campaigns, we would contribute dose to $9,000,000. We are aiming,however, to contribute the sum of $2,000,000.Surely this is not beyond our capacities, ourabilities, our loyalty!In the great pageant of American alumniwe are about to step into line. It restsentirely with us whether Chicago's bannerdroops or is held high. We like to believewe are worthy of a great and conspicuousplace in that "pageant" — but we can not getthat coveted place without fully deservingit. Deserve it we can — deserve it we must!What others have done we can do. To-gether — united — we will answer the cali of"the City Gray that ne'er shall die." "ForChicago— We Will!"A. G. P. li ''"ir.

It is about the onlyway we can do it in the Eastern endoweduniversities, and the reaction on the graduates themselves is as valuable as the helpthey give. For the decision to make a gift,however small, to one's college or universityat once grips the mind on the use the collegecan make of it, and the reaction at once isthat the donor feels himself to be a partof the place. His interest is awakened. Notthe least valuable part of alumni funds isthis awakening of graduate interest — maybeit is the most important part in the longrun. Ali college men and women will wishyou the greatest success in your effort toadd to the facilities of your great university,and not the least, Yale.Sincerely yours,Edwin Oviatt,Editor, Yale Alumni Weekly.* * *Telegram From Cornell AlumniOn behalf of thirty-five thousand Alumni,Cornell University sends heartiest bestwishes for success for your Endowment andBuilding Fund Campaign.

AFFAI R SGreat Los Angeles Alumni MeetingThe Southern California Alumni Association held its first get-together of the yearon the evening of Tuesday, January 20th,with Dr. Nathaniel Butler, "Johnnie"Moulds and Professor John W. Manly,head of the English Department, our hon-ored guests. As a "hot shot" we want itknown in passing that we broke any pre-vious record in attendance of alumni at anAlumni Association meeting in SouthernCalifornia, having had 130 present, includingour guests, alumni members and "by prod-ucts," as Dr. Butler so aptly terms the "bet-ter or worse halves." We are proud in having Dr. Butler term Los Angeles "the peak"of his and Mr. Moulds' tour through theWest from the standpoint of members inattendance at the alumni gatherings of thedifferent cities in their itinerary.The dinner was presided over by MissEva Jessup, President of the Association,and the courses were interspersed with Chicago songs, most ably led by Dr. Nelson, aformer member of the University choir,accompanied on the piano by "Bill" Hatchof '22 fame. To make sure that plenty ofpep was displayed, "Chal" McWilliams, '21,knocked off the rust and led us in severalChicago yells, even securing an early seasongame "skyrocket."After dinner the meeting was turned overto Dr. Frederick A. Speik, Chairman of theCommittee on Development for this district,who entertained us with an account of histrip back to Reunion last June and thenintroduced the speakers of the evening. Dr.Butler was first and in his inimitable wayboth entertained and enlightened us by pre-senting first a brief outline of the Univer-sity's history under the administrations of itsthree presidents, its growth since its incep-tion, and the situation "as is." We alumniof Southern California, who were present attheir meeting, feel that we have a betterunderstanding of the Development Campaign, its purpose and the need of it, because of Dr. Butler's talk.We were fortunate in having ProfessorManly with us as an unexpected guest, nothaving known until shortly prior to the dinner that he was in California. ProfessorManly supplemented Dr. Butler's outline ofthe University's growth and present situation, and further told ns ni the arniii«itinn192Alumni Affairs 193by the English Department of the manu-scripts of the Francis Bacon collection, thephotostatic copies of the first manuscripts ofChaucer's Canterbury Tales, and of the addi-tion to the faculty of Professor William A.Craigie of Oxford.And then "Johnnie" Moulds gave us hismotion pictures of the University — the buildings, grounds, members of the faculty andthe Chicago-Ulinois football game. Howmuch we appreciated it is hard to say, buta fervid comment dropped by an enthusiasticyoung alumnus pretty well hits the mark:"Hot dog! That surely looks good to me!"Los Angeles is again fortunate in thatPresident Burton is vacationing here. Areception is being held the afternoon orSunday, February 8th, in his honor at thehome of Dr. and Mrs. Frederick A.

The speakers at thisgathering were President Burton, HaroldH. Swift, '07, Chairman of the Board ofTrustees, and Dr. Thomas W. Goodspeed,'62. It was not the purpose of the meetingto get subscriptions at that time. Yet, asa result of the intense interest and loyalenthusiasm of the gathering, the eightyalumni who attended subscribed $235,000 forthe Endowment Fund! This amount wasentirely new subscriptions, and in no wayrelated to any subscriptions heretofore an-nounced.This evidence of loyalty and support hasgiven great assurance that the Alumni Campaign will be decidedly successful not onlyin Chicago but in ali parts of the country.* # #Splendid Conference of CampaignWorkersA great conference of campaign workerswas held at the University on Saturday,March 7th, with some one hundred districtand locai chairmen in attendance from alarge number of middle western cities, in-cluding Memphis, Kansas City, St. Louis,Columbus, Cleveland, Toledo, Milwaukee,Des Moines, Omaha, Peoria, Cincinnati,Louisville, Indianapolis, and other cities.

M. '22197Distinguished Service ProfessorshipsatThe University of ChicagoIT IS men that give distinction to a university. Buildings and books are indis-pensable, but they do not make a university,stili less do they make it eminent No oneuniversity can have ali the great men, normake up its faculty wholly of such men.There are, unfortunately, not enough to goaround. But no university can achieve andhold the rank which the University of Chicago has held, and desires to maintain, without a goodly number of outstanding men onits faculty. Such men not only make thereputation of a university, they also makeits atmosphere, lift it above mediocrity,awaken ambition, fumisti inspiration andimpulse to high achievement.To help in drawing to itself a number ofsuch men, the University is preparing toestablish a number of "Distinguished Service" Professorships and to attach to themthe special salary of $10,000It is not proposed that these professorships be assigned to particular departments,but that they be kept free, so that wheneverone of them is vacant the University maycali to its service a distinguished man inany field in which such a man is obtainable.These professorships will also provide forthe promotion of members to the facultywho, by their scholarly attainments, haveshown themselves entitled to such advancement.To hold such a professorship would be thehighest honor the University could conferon any member of its Faculty or on anyonewhom it was calling to its service.To endow such a professorship in thesum of $200,000 is one of the best ways inwhich that sum of money can be used. Itenables the University not only to offer astimulating prize to the professor, but to ob-tain invaluable accessions to its teaching andinvestigative staffs.To associate one's name with such a professorship — "The William Henry Farr Distinguished Service Professorship," for ex-ampie — is to render a great service to schol-arship and to the University. At the sanietime one insures one's own remembrancethrough the association of one's name withthe names of a long succession of distinguished scholars.The University invites contributions of$200,000 each for the establishment of Distinguished Service Professorships, Advisers to Aid Deans with FreshmenGreater convenience and facility for fresh-man students wishing advice or consultationfrom their respective deans is incorporatedin a new pian, which consists of the appoint-ment of a staff of Freshman advisers, toassist the deans in such work. This pianwill enable the students to consult theiradvisers more easily, and will at the sametime lift a little of the burden from thedeans.One or more faculty members and University graduate students of experience insuch matters have been assigned to each ofthe deans, and will assume the place ofconfidential advisers to the students, both inregards to administration matters and to anyspecial problems about which the freshmanstudent might feel the need of officiai advice.The following officiai statement is re-leased to The Alumni Magazine from theoffice of Dean Ernest Hatch Wilkins:"The service of the deans to the membersof the Freshman class is to be supplementedfor the rest of the year by the service of astaff of freshman advisers. These adviserswill have time to talk with freshmen indi-vidually, not only about their work, butabout difficulties or problems or interests ofany sort that the ' freshmen may want totalk about. Each student is free, always,to come to his dean with any problem what-soever; but the advisers will supplement thedean's work in this respect"The advisers are men and women mostof whom have had much experience in teaching or administration elsewhere and arestudying here with a view to fitting themselves for later service as college teachersor administrators."* * *New AppointmentsAmong the new appointments to the Fac-ulties of the University are BernadotteSchmitt, of Western Reserve University, tobe Professor of History, and Godfrey Davies,an honor man in modem history at Pem-broke College, Oxford, to be Assistant Professor of History.The following have been appointed to in-structorships: William Towell Blair andCharles Richard Gildart, in Military Scienceand Tactics; Frederick I. Carpenter, Jr., inEnglish (half time); and Dr. Florence Sei-bert, in Pathology.Au appointment of special interest to thealumni is that of Mr. George O.

Slosson, head of Science Servicein Washington, D. C.Chemistry was responsible for the steeland explosives of the recent war, ProfessorStieglitz said, but on the other hand it pro-duced drugs and disinfectants which willcontinue to allay pain and reduce humansuffering. "In our own country, cut off fromthe Customary importation of finer chemicalsfrom abroad, our manufacturers, our hospital, the government, and finally the peopleat large awoke to the realization of theirutter dependence on chemistry for essentialsin industry, essentials in the treatment ofdisease and- the alleviation of suffering."And precisely at this, the psychologicalmoment, the University of Chicago in theform of one of its Doctors of Philosophy atlength gave to chemistry its popular in-terpreter, its Huxley, its Tyndall — Dr. EdwinE. Slosson."Dr. Slosson, who received his Doctor'sdegree from the University of Chicago in1902, succeeded in making a hook on scienceone of the "best sellers" of the country —Creative Chemistry, and as director of ScienceService he is doing a difficult and valuablework in bringing the results of science to thepeople.* * #Burton of Michigan PraisedOn February 18th, President MarionLeRoy Burton, of the University of Michigan, died at his home in Ann Arbor, afteran illness extending over a period of somemonths. The announcement of his deathwas received with sincere regret at the University of Chicago, as President Burton waslooked upon as one of the strong factorsin the advancement of higher education. Onthe announcement of his death, PresidentErnest DeWitt Burton of the University ofChicago made the following statement:"The death of President Burton of theUniversity of Michigan is a very serious lossto American education and American citi-zenship. He was a man of high character,of lofty educational ideals, and of strongpersonality. As President of Smith College,of the University of Minnesota and of theUniversity of Michigan, he has made anotable contribution to the welfare of thecountry." Hull Gate in WinterNew Physiology BuildingA six-story building to house teaching andresearch in the Departments of Physiology,Physiological Chemistry, and Pharmacologyis being planned as a unit of the great groupof buildings for medicai education which theUniversity of Chicago will erect in the nearfuture. Funds have been provided inde-pendently of the University's $17,500,000development program.The new Physiology Building is expectedto face Fifty-eighth Street, with its maindoorway at the point where Ingleside Ave-nut now runs, the avenue having beenvacated for that purpose. The structurewill furnish greatly expanded quarters forinstruction and investigation, the researchesnow made requiring not only increased laboratory space, but quarters for animals inwhich the latter may be given the best ofcare. The new building will have animaiquarters occupying almost the entire sixthfloor. There will be modem devices formaintaining proper temperatures and everyfacility for giving the animai subjects propernutrition and environment.There is now at the University an averageof 35 to 50 research workers in physiology,engaged on problems as fundamental asphysiology of the gastro-intestinal tract — ¦especially the problem of hunger — the natureand control of epilepsy, and thyroid andparathyroid functions.

TuftsVice-President Tufts, as one of his campaign activities, is addressing a number of Alumni Clubsthroughout the country.THE Association of Doctors of Philoso-phy now numbers in its membershipabout one-tenth of the graduates of the University. This group of Alumni has alwaysshown a very high percentage of loyal support of the University. This is the morenoteworthy in view of the fact that a largemajority of the Doctors have undergraduateallegiance to other institutions. This higherallegiance to the University of Chicago isexplainable in that their relations to theirChicago Alma Mater are the most vital, themost intimate, the most highly articulatedof ali such relationships because they arethe outgrowth of mature reflection and deliberate action as compared with the usuaiemotional sensations of undergraduate ex-periences.Are there not, therefore, manifold reasonswhy we, as a body, should maintain our highpercentage of loyalty in this campaign tolaunch the University into a new epodi ofgrowth and usefulness? The Alumni haveundertaken to raise $2,000,000 of the pro-posed $6,500,000 additional endowment fund.Can we not contribute our share to thisamount? Shall we do it and more?H. E. Slaught, Ph. D. '98,Secretary of the Association. Department of Philosophy:Doctors of Philosophy in the Departmentof Philosophy will, I suppose, have the sameinterest in the development of the University and the necessary means to this end,which doctors in other departments have.But, it is perhaps not too much to say thatstudents in this field will think especially ofthe larger purposes and values of higher education for our national life, and for the advancement of civilization and the welfare ofhumanity in ali parts of the world. Thegreatest benefit which the University canconfer upon any of us is to give us the vision and perspective for these larger mean-ings and the equipment to contribute towardtheir fulfilment. I am confident that thedoctors from this Department have seen thislarger vision, and are helping to make it areality. In order that the University mayfulfill this task in a higher degree it reliesupon our cooperation.James H. Tufts, Head.The Department of Chemistry:There is no doubt in the minds of thestaff of Kent Chemical Laboratory that thealmost two hundred Doctors of Philosophyfrom the Department of Chemistry will beglad to support the great forward movementcampaign of the University. From their ownexperience in the Kent Chemical Laboratory,most of our doctors will heartily endorse thestatement that to maintain, if not indeedrather to recover, its standing among theleading graduate departments of chemistryin the United States, the department musthave its two major needs promptly filled:First, it must be provided generously withnew laboratory space for its crowding research and graduate students and for theproper care of great branches of chemistrythat have sprung into being after Kent wasconstructed; and in the second place, it muststrengthen its staff by the calling of newprofessors eminent in research. The program for this year calls for funds for thebuilding and endowment of at least the firstunit of a proposed quadrangle of chemistrylaboratories — a unit to be devoted whollyto research work. The department also ex-pects of the campaign of this year endowment of at least one new professorship tobe filled by a man already eminent in thefield of research. Preliminary measures pre-paring for these two developments have beentaken.The staff " "200The Doctors ano the Campaign 201proud of the leaders in chemistry and of themany other useful members of the profes-sion who have gone from its laboratoriesand lecture rooms. May it not ask in returnfor the unqualified support of its alumni instarting the department in the developmentof a stili better graduate department,equipped with modera facilities, strong inits men, and prepared to uphold the besttraditions of the past in the broad and thor-ough professional training of its men, andin courageous leadership in research?Julius Stieglitz, Chairman,Department of Chemistry.The Department of Zoology:The Department of Zoology was amongthe first of the Departments of the Universityof Chicago in which the degree of Doctorof Philosophy was granted; and each yearsince 1893 one to several candidates havegone forth from the Department with thisdegree to serve as teachers and investigat-ors. These men and women know that theirDepartment of the University has stood con-sistently for the highest ideals of scholar-ship, and they should therefore feel a veryspecial interest in the present campaign forfunds to maintain and extend the influenceof the University in the advancement ofknowledge. The demands of research be-come ever more difficult with the progressof time, as the analysis leads to requirementsof increasing exactness, and, specifically inour own field, experimental methods of in-vestigation tend to supplant methods of ob-servation. To furnish means of investiga-tion adequate to the problems of the timerequires increased expenditures, and thepresent means of the Department, and theincrease of facilities in immediate prospect,do not measure up to the full needs. Theinterest that our Doctors pf Philosophy havein the maintenance of the reputation of theirDepartment, no less than their devotion totheir Alma Mater, should therefore leadthem to use their influence for the advance-.ment of the University as a whole. Thisthey can do most effectively by cooperatingwith their locai alumni associations; on behalf of the Department of Zoology I wishto appeal earnestly to our Doctors of Philosophy to lend their active interest and support to the efforts of the alumni.Frank R. Lillie, Chairman,Department of Zoology.* * *To the Doctors in Physiology:Dr. Slaught has asked the Laboratory tostate why the University may count on youfor active support in its forward movementcampaign. The older Doctors who had theprivilege of working side by side with Jac ques Loeb and George N. Stewart can neverforget the ideals of research and service in-spired by these leaders. It is for the youngergeneration of Doctors to say whether inlater years the Laboratory has maintainedand extended these standards of researchand teaching. If it has, in days of crampedquarters, poor equipment, and small staff,we are confident that you are "standing by"in our effort to secure better facilities andabler men. In the past the Laboratory hasscored high in the calibre of the men andwomen who have sought training and facilities for work within its walls, and it isproud of their records after leaving the HullCourt. We are confident that the Laboratory will score equally high in the loyal support of its graduates and that we are ali instep on the march towards greater achieve-ments.A. J. Carlson, for the Staff,Hull Physiological Laboratory,* * *The Romance Languages:The graduates of the Department of Romance Languages have specialized in fourprincipal lines of study. These are (1)Spanish Language and Literature; (2) OldFrench Language and Literature; (3)French and Italian Renaissance Literature;(4) Modem French Literature. Quite anumber of our graduates have won distinction since they have left the University.Dr. M. A. Buchanan, who is now Headof the Department of Italian and Spanishat the University of Toronto, is one of theleading scholars in Spanish literature. Hehas made very notable contributions to ourknowledge of the Spanish drama, especiallythe life and works of Lope de Vega. Dr.A. M.

Merrill and C. E. Parmenter haveproduced monographs which when publishedare bound to attract the attention of American and European scholars; and Dr. RuthS. Phelps, Associate Professor of RomanceLanguages at the University of Minnesota,has written an important monograph onPetrarch which is now being published bythe University of Chicago.In Modem French Literature the work ofDr. Ethel Preston on the reappearing char-acters in the works of Balzac is now beingtranslated into French and will doubtlessredound in great part to the credit of theUniversity of Chicago, where she receivedher training.In the field of Romance Philology mentionshould also be made of the penetrating stud-ies by Dr. A. R. Nykl, Assistant Professorof Romance Languages at NorthwesternUniversity.Finally one might mention the capacityshown as an administrator by Dr. E. B.Babcock, at present Dean of the GraduateSchool of New York University.While the Department of Romance. Languages is to a considerable extent one of theyoungèr departments of the University, theabove statement shows that it is also one ofthe most effective in upholding the ideals ofscholarship and of research. I am quite certain that its graduates take legitimate pridein its achievements and have deeply at heartits further progress. Since the University is now engaged in a campaign to further research and to maintain the highest standardsof scholarship, I am quite certain that ourgraduates, of whom I have been able tomention a few of the outstanding, have everyreason to give the University their heartysupport. The type of work in which ourgraduates are engaged and the importantpositions which they now hold are an indi-cation of the wide influence for the advancement of learning which the University ofChicago wields.Wm. A. Nitze, Head.* * *To Doctors in Education:The registration of graduate studentsin the Department of Education has in-creased rapidly in recent years until at thepresent time one hundred and fifty studentsare registered during the Autumn, Winterand Spring Quarters for advanced coursesin Education. During the Summer Quar-ter the registration of graduate students ismore than seven hundred.The facilties originally provided for thework of the School of Education are nolonger adequate to the needs of this divisionof the University. There is an urgent de-mand for library, laboratory and classroomspace to serve the purposes of the classesin the science of Education.Several subsidies have been received bythe Department of Education for the pursuitof investigations. These subsidies have cov-ered the fields of reading, arithmetic, visualeducation, the effects of heredity on training,the financial organization of public schoolsand tests, especially in the field of languageteaching. The results which have been se-cured from these subsidies make it clear thatfinancial support of research in Educationwill be richly repaid by better methods ofteaching and organization in the schools.Finally, the constructive work of theSchool of Education in the production ofuseful material for teaching which can beemployed in institutions other than our ownhas reached the point where it is quite clearthat the University will benefit by providingworkers in the School of Education withthe facilities for publication.The journals now published by the Department of Education have the widest circuiamoli of any scientific journals in the fieldof Education. These journals are self-sup-porting and make possible the publicationeach year of a number of scientific monographs. Further activity in the sanie linecan advantageously be promoted as a legitimate part of the work of a University department.Charles H. Judd, Director.Divinity Alumni 203Department of'Geology:The strengthening of the graduate in-structors and of opportunity for research onthe part of brilliant graduate students andof the geologie faculty is a text that needsno exposition to the Doctors of Philosophyin Geology. It is mainly because of devotionto effective graduate instruction under theleadership of Salisbury and to research underthe leadership of T. C. Chamberlain that thedepartment has acquired its present positionin the fore rank among Schools of Geology.To fail to largely increase these facilities isto fail to go forward and that is unthinkableto Chicago men.The University's present drive has theseaims for its first objective and will command,we feel sure, the loyal support of the Doctors of this department.Cordially,Edson S.

The new interest in the application of psychology andsociology to the study of religion as well asthe problems which arise from the relationsof the physical sciences :to religious experience and thought emphasize the necessity ofthe proper understanding of the faets withwhich human life are concerned. The onlyuniverse and humanity with which religiousthought can safely deal are those given it byscience. It theology, using that term in avery sense, is to be a phase of social tech-nique, it must be intelligent or it will beinjurious. The scientific study of religion,as of other subjects, needs expansion. Weare only at the beginning of the use ofscientific results in the building up of thespiritual life of mankind. If the DivinitySchool were engaged in the mere reproduction of the past or in the atempt to expoundan authoritatively given set of doctrines, itwould not dare to make any adventures inanything more than scholastic and literaryfields. It does more than this, however, andtherefore urges its . doctors to coperate inthe efforts which are being made to givelarger opportunities and resources to theUniversity of which it is a part.Shailer Mathews, Dean.

Cochran, J. DwightDickerson, Judge Hugo M. Friend, AliceGreenacre, Harry N. Gottlieb, Frederick C.Hack, Gay Judson, Judge Walter P. Steffen,and Donald S. Trumbull. As chairman ofthe Lawyers' Committee, Mr. Wormser isalso a member of the Committee on Development.The Lawyers' Committee aims to establishcloser relations between the Bar of Chicagoand the University. To this end it ar-ranged for an address by President Burtonbefore the Chicago Bar Association. It nowhas under way plans for a luncheon to betendered by the President in March at theChicago Club to some of the leading lawyersof the city.The Committee has also prepared a book,now on the press, reviewing the history ofthe University and outlining its programfor the future. This book will be sent tomembers of. the Chicago Bar, accompaniedby a letter from President Burton in whichhe calls attention to the fact that there isa special reason for enlisting the interest andgood offices of the lawyers because of theirinfluence with their clients. President Burton will point out that in the making ofwills lawyers frequently have an opportunityto give advice and suggestions to clientsregarding the disposition of their propertyand that this gives them an occasion to bringto the attention of their clients the merits ofThe University of Chicago, the relation between Chicago, the University, and Chicago,the city, and the propriety of embodyinga bequest in favor of the University in theirwills. This book, it is expected, will bea valuable addition to the library of anylawyer who is interested in the civic life ofChicago and in its educational progress.The Lawyers' Committee has also recentlyprepared for the use of the Business Manager, a leaflet embodying suggestions regarding forms for trusts and bequests in favor ofthe University. It is recognized that personscontemplating bequests of the creation oftrusts in favor of the University will consulttheir legai counsel, but the pamphlet is suggestive of the forni and purposes whichwould be most helpful to the University. =imr=imi =iini .ini '""^IjCHOOL |=imi^=ini -ini ini mi=£The Lawyers' Committee is also engagedin preparing and will soon issue a pamphletdealing with tax problems — Incoine Taxes,State Inheritance and Federai Estate Taxes— in relation to gifts or bequests to theUniversity.In addition to the Lawyers' Committeewhich is functioning as a part of the Committee on Development, there is also aboutto be created a Lawyers' Division of theAlumni Committee.

Chartered in 1837, even before the cityof Chicago itself was incorporated, by farseeing men whose clarity of vision todayseems little short of prophetic, this collegesince its first alumnus in 1844 has graduatedup to the present time over 8,500 physicians,of whom over 4,000 are stili living. For 80years it has functioned unceasingly. Noother institution of learning in this greatdistrict has graduated an equal number ofmen in any single profession.While this is a distinction of faithfulnessto duty of which the college feels justlyproud and the alumni cherish as a benedic-tion, yet it is service, not numbers, that isthe proper measure of success.What has been this service and what haveits faculty and alumni wrought, this noblelegion armed not with instruments of de-struction but dedicated.to the relief of suffering and the prolongation of life?Who can recount the professional achieve-ment of a single doctor during the course ofa long and busy life?Though alluring the theme, how futile thetask of reducing to concrete terms the influence of over 8,000 such lives on a greatcommunity!Yet, from the pioneer days of DanielBrainard, the founder, down to the latelamented Bridge we shall affectionately recali from memories hall of medicai fame suchhallowed names as Ross, Alien, Freer, Gunn,Parkes, Semi and Murphy, Lyman, Fenger,Holmes, De Laskie Miller, the two Ingals,Etheridge Hyde and Montgomery, "Daddy"Haines and B. W. Sippy who have honoredits halls and left their indelible impress uponthe students and medicai practice of theirown and future times. The names and worksof the present faculty, familiar to ali themedicai and to much of the lay words, aresynonymous with ali that speaks of medicaiattainments and progress.Many of the alumni have become membersof the faculty both in our own and in othercolleges, while others are known as distinguished leaders of their profession in theirvarious communities.In June, 1924, the University of Chicagoacceded this faculty and alumni to its own, Dean Basii C. H. HarveyDr. Basii C H. Harvey, M.D., at the Universityof Toronto in 1898, and on the faculty of the University of Chicago since 1901, is Professor of Anatomyand also a Dean of Medicai Students. Dean Harveyis active in the organization of the new medicai school.an eyent unique in the annals of either institution and one fraught with such gloriouspotentialities for the commonwealth thatthose of us in the immediate foreground, forlack of proper perspective, cannot even hopeto estimate its possibilities.The University of Chicago is now in-augurating a great campaign for necessarydevelopment. This campaign, with a program of $17,500,000 for 1925, includes thesum of $6,000,000 for endowment to retainand strengthen the great faculty in ali departments. The Alumni of the Universityare aiming to contribute $2,000,000 to assurethe success of the Endowment Fund. Theentire University will benefit directly and indirectly from the success of the Alumni inthis effort.The Alumni of Rush Medicai College, ofthe University of Chicago, are in hearty sym-pathy with these great aims. The RushAlumni gladly assist toward the success ofthe campaign and extend best wishes tothe University for success and early realiza-tion of its great program.Dr. Charles A. Parker, M.D., '91.Secretary, Rush Alumni Association.2051 SCHOOL OF EDUCATION 1Director Charles H. JuddDirector Judd of the School of Education has beenspeaking to a number of Alumni groups on the Program of Development.THE program of development which •theUniversity has adopted gives generousconsideration to the needs of the School ofEducation. Students who have taken coursesin this division of the institution are wellaware of the overcrowded quarters, the lackof adequate laboratory space and equipment,and the need for better library facilities. Toprovide adequate space for the essential activities of the School three new buildingsare planned. They are a graduate buildingwhich with the necessary maintenance fundto care for it, will cost $1,000,000; a highschool building which, with a maintenancefund, will cost $1,000,000; and a refectoryand gymnasium to provide for pupils andstudents in the School of Education and togive adequate facilities for health workwhich will cost $400,000. The building plans,therefore, amount to $2,400,000.The graduate building will be located onthe east side of Kimbark Avenue betweenBlaine and Belfield Halls. The ground floorwill be devoted largely to the main education library and to three special libraries,one for reports and special materials not inbook form, one for reserve material, andone for collections of textbooks. On the same level as the library and extending eastinto the court, as shown in the cut on page182, there will be an auditorium largeenough to seat at least 700 people. This willopen into the library so that it can be usedat times, particularly during summer quarters, as a reading room. The second floorwill be used largely for graduate recitationrooms. The third floor will provide a seriesof laboratory rooms for instruction and research in statistics and educational psy-chology. The fourth floor will be used pri-marily for offices.The high-school building will face easton Kenwood Avenue between Blaine andBelfield Halls. As planned at the presenttime, it will be four stories high and willprovide quarters for 700 pupils.The gymnasium and refectory will bebuilt on the east side of Kenwood Avenue.It will be connected with the present quad-rangle by means of a tunnel under KenwoodAvenue. It will be a one-story buildingopening on the east side onto JackmanField.The pian which has been outlined con-templates the removal of the Bo3's' Club,Kimbark Hall, and the temporary gymnasium. Changes will also be necessaryin Blaine Hall in order to make it servethe needs of the College of Education andthe Elementary School most effectively.With this enlargement and readjustment ofthe material equipment the Schooi will beable to accommodate 150 graduate students,400 undergraduate students, 700 high-schoolpupils, and 500 elementary-school pupils.Even more important than increased material equipment are the plans for theenlargement of the staff in the college andgraduate departments of education. Thefact is clearly recognized that the faculty isstrong at present in such departments as thecurriculum and educational psychology. Itneeds enlargement in school administration,educational sociology, and other specializedfields. In order to provide adequate salariesfor the present staff and to enlarge the staffas suggested, an additional endowment tothe amount of $1,000,000 is necessary.These plans are very interesting. Theymust be realized if the School of Educationis to have adequate facilities for its work.We trust that they will enlist the full support and cooperation of alumni and friendsof the School of Education.University of Chicago DinnerTwo hundred and two alumni, formerstudents, and members of the facultv nf206School of Education —the University of Chicago were in attendance at the annual dinner in Cincinnati onFebruary 25 in connection with the Department of Superintendence of the NationalEducation Association. Professor Freemanacted as toastmaster.President Coffman of the University ofMinnesota pointed out a number of problems in college and university administrationwhich are now being attacked at differentcenters by the scientific methods which havebeen in use in the public schols for the lasttwo decades, sudi as the investigation ofthe student body, academic expenditures, andstandards of scholarship.The second speaker was Dean Pechsteinof the School of Education of the Universityof Cincinnati, a graduate of the Universityof Chicago with a Doctor's degree in psy-chology. Dean Pechstein drew attention tothe directions in which the modem scientificstudy of education is tending and the effectof scientific investigations on teacher training.Professor Judd spoke on the general plansof development which the University isworking out and Dean Gray introduced thefilms which have been prepared by the Committee on Development. During the exhibi-tion of these films, Professor Lyman, whohas been presenting them before variousalumni associations throughout the southernand middle western states, made the appropriate comments. Many of the alumni ex-pressed their appreciation of this method ofshowing the plans for the new buildingsand for the enlargement of departments.The familiar faculty figures which appearedon the screen attracted the most attentionand there was also keen interest in the plansfor the new buildings.* * *Home Economics Alumnae Club StartedSeveral of the Alumnae of the Home Economics Department of the University of Chicago, in meeting together, had thought itwould create a very pleasant, happy feelingto have a club of the Home EconomicsAlumnae in and around Chicago, in order tobecome better acquainted and to bring themali nearer to the Department, and also tobe of some definite good to the Department.Plans were made and notices sent out toali the alumnae in and around Chicago,about a hundred and twenty-five in ali, fora meeting Saturday afternoon, Januarytwenty-fourth, at two p. m. in the NorthReception rooms of Ida Noyes Hall, following luncheon together in the cafeteria.The project was greeted enthusiasticallyand the meeting was held as scheduled,about forty people attending.

The Organization Committee had hoped to have a ballot ready to sub-mit to the members, but were not successfulin getting it ready, so it was decided tohave this presented at the next meeting.A motion was carried to have meetingsonce a quarter toward the beginning of thequarter so that the next meeting will be inthe early part of Aprii.It was decided to hold the regular meetings at Ida Noyes with the place of anyother meetings which might be planned, tobe decided on at the time the meeting wasplanned.The question of dues was discussed and amotion carried to have the dues a dollar ayear, this to be used to cover notices to besent out, etc.Respectfully submitted.Mrs. J.

Spencer Dickerson, Secretary,Board of TrusteesChicago Alumni Are LoyalDear Mr. Pierrot:I am delighted with the response made bythe alumni and former students to theappeal of the Committee on Development.It has been a habit to say that owing to theexistence of the quarter system and to thepresence of large numbers of graduate students, such a thing as loyalty to Alma Materdid not exist among the sons and daughtersof the University of Chicago. The splendidreception given to the presentation of theUniversity's needs by President Burton,Mr. Butler, Mr. Stagg, Deans Tufts andWilkins, not to speak of other eloquentadvocates; the subscriptions made at theseconferences, and particularly at the gatheringin Chicago of the first week of March, areinspiring evidence of the new spirit of filiallove which exists among former students,and a golden prophecy of the success ofthe $2,000,000 Alumni campaign. I am sodelighted with the news which comes fromevery direction with reference to the atti-tude of the alumni that I cannot but letsome of my pleasure spili over on your desk.J. Spencer Dickerson,Secretary, Board of Trustees.* * *Dr. Goodspeed's AppealIn addressing a meeting of alumni held inFebruary, Dr. Thomas W. Goodspeed, '62made this inspiring appeal to Alumni everywhere:"There remain two million dollars yet tohe secured to win that first great objectiveof six million dollars. It stands before us, it stands before the University and beforethe Alumni in this campaign as a great hillof dimculty which is to be scaled by some-body, and the University comes to us andsays, 'Will you, our Alumni, win for us thatfirst great objective? Will;ryou win that pointof vantage, that advance position, thatSan Juan Hill, that Missionary Ridge, thatHindenberg Line, which must first of ali becaptured, and which, if it is captured, willgive us certain victory ali along the line?'If we gain that first great objective, we shallwin the main battle as well!"* * *Make Yourself a WorkerEvery alumnus or alumna, and especiallythose in more remote sections of the country, must realize that in organizing a nation-wide effort it is impossible to get specialworkers in every town and hamlet of thecountry. Yet we know that in every placethere are Alumni who are ready and willingto give any direct personal assistance in thelocalities that they can. To ali of you weurge that you do not hold back because ofno "appointment." Ali of the Alumni areconsidered members of the "Great Committee." After you have made your subscription look up ali Chicagoans in yourtown or county that j'ou may happen toknow — cali them on the telephone — telithem of your subscription— speak to themabout the University and its great need —urge them to subscribe! While the "com-manders" deserve and are accorded greatcredit, we know it is the "private" on thefiring line who wins the battle. Let us alibe "workers together" for Chicago!* * *The New Divinity ChapelThe new Divinity Chapel to be erectedat once near the rising Theology Buildingand ultimately to be connected with it by acloister, will be one of the best examples ofEnglish Collegiate Gothic in America. It ismade possible by the gift of Mrs. JosephRond in memory of her husband, Mr. JosephBond, who was formerly a trustee of theDivinity School.The building, which is to complete the Divinity quadrangle on the north and extendfrom east to west, will be 90 feet in length,33 feet in width, and 57 feet high to thestone tip of the roof. Of distinctive archi-tecture, the chapel will have an oak roofbeautifully painted in green, .gold, and red.Five main trusses and six intermediatetrusses will bear different kinds of orna-mentation. The top is to be of red tile.There are to be six leaded glass Windowsof each side and one large window at eitherend, having one-inch borders of cathedralglass. The details of the interior provide fora chancel at the west end, with an organand a screen of cathedral glass at the eastend. The cost of the Chapel is estimatedat $150.000.COMMERCE AND ADMINISTRATIONAn Investment OpportunityW. H Spencer, '14, J. D. '14, DeanEvery alumnus of the bchool of Commerceand Administration is, of course, aware ofthe campaign which is being conducted bythe University to raise funds for certain nec-cessary buildings and for additional endowment.There is one phase of the campaign towhich I wish to cali your special attention.The alumni of the University have undertaken to raise among themselves the sum oftwo million dollars. Such an undertaking onthe part of the Alumni Association, consid-ering its relative size and age, is in itself athing of which the University is justly proud.But the performance of this undertaking —and those responsible for the campaignamong the alumni do not admit the possi-bility of a failure — will be an accomplishmentwhich can scarcely be paralleled by an accomplishment on the part of any alumni association of any other American university.But it is obvious that this fine promise ofthe Alumni Association will not and cannotbe redeemed except upon this one condition— that every alumnus of the University as-sumes an individuai responsibility for hisshare in the total amount to be raised andunstintingly gives his support and cooperation to the campaign.It goes without saying, of course, that the"The City Gray that ne'er shall die!"alumni of the School of Commerce and Administration will want to do their part inthis campaign not only for the sake of theSchool, but for the University itself. TheSchool of Commerce and Administration willbe greatly benefited by the success of thecampaign. Anything which helps the University naturally and necessarily helps theSchool of Commerce and Adminstrationwhich is an integrai part of the University.In view of the accomplishments of theUniversity and the promise of greater accomplishments in the future, every alumnusof the School of Commerce and Administration, as well as every other alumnus of thewhole University, should think of this occasion, not as one on which he is being askedto give, but as one on which he is beinggiven the privilege of investing in a goingconcern, with a history of honorable accomplishments and a future rich with the promise of even greater accomplishments. TheUniversity, in furthering its aims and ideals,finds itself handicapped by lack of capital,and is giving you the opportunity of investing in a great educational undertaking. Itis the earnest hope of the School that- everyalumnus of the University who has donework in the School of Commerce and Administration will look upon the campaign inthis spirit, and will invest according to hisability in this great University.NEWS OFTHE CLASSE SAND ASSOCIATIONSClass Secretaries'93.

But hedoes know that he can never repaythose obligations created, except by in-suring ampie money for the educationof his own twó children.So he has recently arranged endowment policies for both, to mature at the beginning of each school and collegeyear. He believes that his childrenwill more genuinely appreciate theireducation bypayingfor it out of theirown funds.And Brown also believes that they willbetter capitalize their own increasedcapabilities,onorbeforegraduation,bytaking out insurance for the educationof the next hoped-for generation, aswell as to create an immediate estateand financial guarantee of family unity.The John Hancock is particularly interested in insuring college men andwomen and in obtaining college graduates for the personnel ofthe field staff.Over Sixty Years inBusiness Now InsuringOver Two Billion Dollars on 3,500,000 Lives 'Life Insurance Company^of Boston.

Many men had seen apples fall, butthis man with the question mark mind found out whythey fall — and his answer has helped us to understandthe workings of a universe.Would that we ali could get a bite of that appièif it would inspire us too with the "I wonder why"attitude !Intellectual curiosity is a great and moving force.It mobilizes reluctant facts. It is the stern drill-master which whips into shape that most in vinci bleof armies — sure knowledge.Curiosity, with the will to sweat out the answer,is the greatest asset you can acquire in your collegecourse.
