XVIII No. 6Umbersitt|> of CfncagoJlaga^meAPRIL, 1926The University and the Meat Packing IndustryIT IS the trend of modem educationalmethod and, increasingly, of industriaitraining, to make the preparatory workbroad and sound. This is in no way con-trary to the marked bias toward specializa-tion; it means rather a better recognitionthat the success of specialization is moreassured when it is based upon a sounderand broader foundation of general knowl-edge. A much-used motto at educationalconferences in England some years ago read :"How few know how much we must knowbefore we know how little we know." Fora while, scientiflc and industriai specialization seemed to negative this idea. But, asspecialization itself multiplied and becamethe normal everyday standard, the worldsaw the slow appearance of gaps among spe-cialists, a grading within an esoteric craft, soto speak, which brought back the convictionthat the tried doctrine of the older uni-versities, that broad culture was the truebeginning of ali specialization, worked withthe force of a naturai law.American industry seems to be enteringa stage where it is collectively seeking somemethod to give its personnel the undoubtedtechnical training of the apprenticeship system of former days, yet something adaptedto mass production systems and to intri-cately departmentized organization. In Longfellow's day, no doubt, the conceptionwas ali right —"The heights by great men reached and kept,Were not attained by sudden flight;But they, while their companions slept,Were toiling upward in the night."Today, however, when the companionsof the favored few refuse to sleep, industryis beginning to see that there is somethingunscientifìc in leaving genius to do its toiling alone and unguided, something waste-ful of the naturai resources of human "gifts"in what the elder Mr. Weller called "eddi-cation under difficulties, Samivel."The general direction is now unquestion-ably toward tying in more closely industriaiprinciples and higher éducation. The meatpacking industry within the last two yearshas taken a big stride forward in this re-spect. By a program known to that industry as the "Institute Pian," the Instituteof American Meat Packers — an associativebody of which Oscar G. Mayer is thisyear's re-elected President and which is theindustriai, research, and educational centerof the meat packing industry — three yearsago agreed to a far-seeing proposai madeby Thomas E. Wilson who was Presidentthen. This pian provides that the Instituteshould undertake broad educational and research activities, in addition to continuingits trade association work. One of thè steps267268 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEtaken was the establishment of an Instituteof Meat Packing at the University of Chicago under the joint direction of the University and the Institute of American MeatPackers.The progress made on the developmentof this Pian was recently made public atthe Twentieth Annual Convention of theInstitute of American Meat Packers, ofwhich the last day was held in associationwith the University of Chicago as a PublicConference on Éducation and Industry."The packing industry existed for years ina belief that meat packers were born andcould not be made," was the analytic re-mark made by Philip D. Armour, Chair-man of the Institute's Committee on Educational Plans. He added: "A packinghouse is no place for the novice. As aresult of the new activities, the men who dothe work in the packing house, laborers,mechanics, salesmen, or executives, are get-ting a share of the attention. The industrybelieves that successful and efficient menin every branch can be developed by propertraining."The conjoint work of the Institute andthe University is not exactly pioneer eftort.Industry has been associated with centresof higher learning before; university exten-sion and evening technical classes havemingled and run together before; and homecorrespondence courses have been given byuniversities and trade associations before.But the scheme is perhaps new in that itcombines the aim of ali these by buildingthem ali in the main on the same text andbringing ali into correlation on a greaterscale than hitherto has been attempted.A statement of plans for increased co-operation in the meat industry were madeat the Convention by Thomas E. Wilson,Chairman of the Institute Pian Commis-sion. "As a result of plans made three yearsago," he said, "hundreds of men in themeat packing industry are taking practicalcollege courses in technical subjects ; scien-tifìc problems are being solved by laboratoryand research work, and the industry isstandardizing equipment and supplies. Theeducational work is unique in that it notonly trains men aiready in the industry, but offers training to those who intend toenter it. Evening courses of college gradeare given in Chicago and six other impor-tant packing centers."Students are taught not only the rightmethods of packinghouse practice, but theprinciples underlying these practices and theco-ordination of the various processes in-volved in the industry — in brief, the "how"and "why" of each packinghouse operationand given a perspective of the business as awhole and their place in it.At the Institute of Meat Packing, ofwhich Dean W. H. Spencer is Director andE. L. Rhoades is Assistant Director, co-operatively conducted by the University ofChicago and the Institute of AmericanMeat Packers, a score of young men, mostof them graduate students, are taking full-time courses to prepare for entrance intothe industry. For text materials, the practice of the industry in various phases hasbeen compiled, interpreted and published.The studies have been carefully worked outby educational experts, in conjunction withmembers of competent committees, and staffofEcers of the Institute. The subjectstaught in the residence and evening classeshave also been adapted to home studycourses which are now being taken by meriboth in and outside the industry, scatteredover many states, some of them far fromconvenient packing centers, who are utiliz-ing their spare time to acquire a widenedknowledge of an industry that has far-reach-ing ramifìcations. The subjects are: Eco-nomics of the Packing Industry, Productionand Marketing of Livestock, Packing-House Accounting, Superintendency, PorkOperations, Beef Operations, Manufacturing Operations, and Science in the PackingIndustry.Arrangements have also been made bythe Institute's Department of IndustriaiÉducation for the co-operation of ColumbiaUniversity of New York, the University ofWisconsin, the University of Nebraska, theUniversity of Maryland, and the University of Cincinnati for the installation ofevening courses which are now being conducted in adjacent packing centers.MEAT PACKING INDUSTRY INSTITUTE 269Ali departments of the Institute of American Meat Packers are functioning, it maybe explained, on common problems of theindustry. One, for instance, is the Department of Packinghouse Practice and Research, giving advice on common funda-mentals of good practice, compiling anoperating literature of the industry, standardizing supplies and equipment, and con-ducting operation experiments to developimprovements; a second is the Departmentof Industriai Éducation, which has directresponsibility for executing the Institute'seducational plans ; a third is the Department of Scientific Research ; and the ser-vice laboratory, well staffed, furnishing anunusual analytical service, is attached tothis Department of Scientific Research.Another closely associated with the sub-ject of this article is the Department ofNutrition. There are also Departments ofHome Economics, Purchasing Practice, Re-tail Merchandising, Organization andTrame, Waste Elimination and Live Stock,and Public Relations and Trade. Theheads of these Departments are experts intheir flelds. Several carne to the Institutefrom the educational world. Among theseare Miss Gudrun Carlson, M. S. of Columbia University and formerly head of theHome Economics Department of the NewJersey College for Women ; Dr. C. R.Moulton, formerly head of the Departmentof Agricultural Chemistry, University ofMissouri, and a member of the Committeeon Foods and Nutrition of the NationalResearch Council; Dr. W. Lee Lewis, formerly Chairman of the Department ofChemistry at Northwestern University andthe inventor of "Lewisite" gas; and Colo-nel R. H. Hess, formerly Professor of Economics at the University of Wisconsin, andduring the War, Assistant to the ChiefQuartermaster, A.E.F. and economie ad-visor of the Army of Occupation in Ger-many.Arthur Lowenstein, Chairman of theCommittee of Scientific Research, told theConvention that a saving of just under onemillion dollars a year is possible throughdiscoveries made within the last two yearsin the curing of meat and meat produets. Thomas E. WilsonPresident of Wilson & Company ; FormerPresident of the Institute of AmericanMeat Packers; Founder of the ResearchLaboratory of the Institute al the University; Chairman of the Institute PianCommission.The Bureau of Animai Industry, individuaicompany laboratories, and the Institute'sDepartment of Scientific Research ali havebeen working on the use of nitrite of sodainstead of nitrate of soda in curing meat.A large number of member companies haveextended generous co-operation. The chem-ists of the Bureau of Animai Industrv, aswell as Dr. J. R. Mohler, Chief of theBureau, and his associates, have been generous in encouraging the studies. In fact,the Bureau lately made the use of sodiumnitrite permissible in the packing plantsunder its jurisdiction.The history of this ambition of the American meat packing industry is worth re-telling. On October 22, 1924, Thomas E.Wilson offered to provide a grant of$15,000 so that a research laboratory formeat packing might be started. The generous offer was accepted in general convention, and it was agreed that the laboratory receive the following title :"The Research Laboratory of the Instituteof American Meat Packers. Foundedby Thomas E. Wilson at the Universityof Chicago."On February 5, 1925, a covenant wassigned by the two institutions whereby270 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEquarters were provided by the University onthe campus for housing the laboratory, withthe proposed title and with the understand-ing that the Institute would have the co-operation of the University. It was agreedthat the staff of the laboratory would beappointed by the Institute subject to theapprovai of the University; that the Institute would "conduct its research work inharmony with the other scientific activitiesof the University, and in keeping with theideals, scientific and educational, of theUniversity" ; and that "no purely commercial or routine analytical work will be con-ducted in the Research Laboratory of theInstitute of American Meat Packers." (Anarticle on the establishment and purpose ofthese relations appeared in this Magazinefor January, 1924).The present agreement with the University is to continue until January 31,1928. The laboratory is in active opera-tion at the Ricketts Laboratory South underDr. W. Lee Lewis, Director of the Department of Scientific Research of the Institute.Four research chemists have been appointedand are at work on problems of funda-mental scientific interest pertaining to meatpacking. These men are C. D. Lowry, Jr.,R. S. Vose, L. M. Roderick and JohnYesair. The first two are working in af-filiation with the Department of Chemistryof the University, the second two with theDepartment of Bacteriology and Hygiene.Quite apart from this, analytical workis being conducted vigorously and on anincreasing scale in the Service Laboratoryof the Institute of American Meat Packers,at 9 South Clinton Street, Chicago.Investigational work has just begun onthe cause and prevention of 'slimes' in meatand meat products; on the cause and prevention of molds in meat products ; largenumbers of hides have been cured by twomethods: dry-salting, and washing andbrining — and at the present time, the effectof the brine cure on 7,200 calf skins isbeing studied, in co-operation with the Tan-ners' Council. The final results will bethe subject of joint or associated reportsfrom the Research Laboratory of the Institute of American Meat Packers and the Research Laboratory of the Tanners' Council at the University of Cincinnati.For the last two years the closing dayof the packers' annual Convention has beengiven over to a Public Conference on Éducation and Industry, held jointly with theUniversity of Chicago. This year the LeonMandel Hall was crowded for both ses-sions. On October 21 last, college gownsat down and talked with packers' smocks,the academist with the industrialist. Therewas an address on the outlook for the elec-trical industries by E. W. Rice, Jr.,Honorary Chairman of the Board of theGeneral Electric Company; one on the outlook of agriculture by Frank O. Lowden,former Governor of Illinois ; there was atalk on the future of industriai éducationby the new President of the University,Max Mason, and a paper by Maj.-Gen.James G. Harbord, President of the RadioCorporation of America, on the problemsand outlook of the radio industry. Inaddition, the Vice-President of the UnitedStates, General Charles G. Dawes, intro-duced General Harbord.But the "hit" of the conference, perhaps,was the jolly, rollicking, heart-and-headtalk of a man who has done much to makeAmerican industry what it is — Charles M.Schwab, Chairman of the Board of theBethlehem Steel Company. It was merryas a talk by Mark Twain and as full ofhomely good sense as a page from PoorRichard's Almanac which he quoted onlyto refute. The talk was a thing to tickleand to stimulate ; to amuse and to elevate.Mr. Schwab did not make an address. Witha laugh he stuffed his written speech backinto his breast pocket and talked incom-parably better stuff, just as it occured tohim. "You note the splendid continuityof my address," he commented in one place,amid loud laughter in which he himselfjoined heartily. No one present would havehad it otherwise. His was a message ofhopefulness, cheerfulness, infectious andgood, prophesying the sound and enlight-ened progress of American industry.Department of Public Relations and Trade,Institute of American Meat Packers.Addresses at Wieboldt Hall Ground-BreakingFollowing are parts of addresses delivered at ihe Cround-breaking Excrcises for Wieboldt Hall, November6, 1925. A review of these exercìses appeared in the Decomber number of the Magazine.AMONG those attending the ground-f-\ breaking exercises for Wieboldt-*--*- Hall were many repesentatives ofthe Affiliateci Germanie Group, the organi-zation which has been formed to foster,through the development program of theUniversity, the culture traditional amongthe nationalities represented. The cere-monies in Mandel Hall, over which President Mason presided, included addresses bymembers of the centrai committee of theAffiliated Germanie Group.Professor John Matthews Manly, headof the department of English of the University, spoke of the significance of modemlanguages. He said, in part:"The event which we are here assembledto celebrate signalizes the fulfilment of adream cherished by the members of theModem Language Departments for manyyears. A beautiful building is to be erected,specially designed to house the books andmanuscripts and other illustrations of litera-ture and life which are both our objectsof study and our working implements. Itis to be a laboratory of research in which in-structors and students will labor togetherupon problems of language, of literary his-tory, of criticism, and of interpretation."We owe the building to a single bene-factor — one who has in many ways clearlymanifested his desire to be of service tothe community, to exercise the steward-ship of his wealth with enlightenedbenevolence by caring for both the simple,daily inexorable needs of strugglingmen and women, and also for those equallyindefeasible needs of the human mind andheart for a finer life, an ampler ether, adiviner air."Only yesterday morning, as I read ofanother building of which Mr. Wieboldthad laid the cornerstone, I thought that hemust by now be a little tired of such cere-monies. But I believe there can have beenfew or none of them in which he has par-ticipated with greater satisfaction or livelier hopes than this which we celebrate today."In the first place, his noble gift is de-voted to a university. A university is acorporation dedicated to the increase ofhuman knowledge and the cultivation andcare of the community's highest aspirationsand ideals."In the second place, he has acted asa member and representative of the greatgroup of Germanie peoples, who here in thecenter of a new continent are manifestingthe same qualities of clear thinking and highcourageous enterprise which have been em-blazoned on more than a thousand yearsof history. Germans and Hollanders andFrisians and Danes and Swedes and Nor-wegians and Icelanders, they cali themselvesin their home lands, but philologians knowthat they are ali one people and their languages ali the descendants of one greatmother-tongue. And English — philologiansknow that it too, not only in its origins,but even today in its structure and in thatpart of its vocabulary which speaks mostintimately of its hopes and needs and lovesis also Germanie. And it is a notableevidence of the broad and truly Americanspirit of this group of Middle WesternGermanics that the building which one oftheir number ereets for the University ofChicago and as an instrument of culturefor the whole people is to be dedicated tothe teaching of the languages and litera-tures not only of the Germanie peoples butof those of ali Western Europe andAmerica."To cultivate a love for literature anda capacity for deep and permanent enjoy-ment and inspiration from it is the taskof the college rather than of the graduateschool. By the time the graduate schoolhas been reached this should have been ac-complished, and the graduate school isproperly a school not for the disseminationof culture but for the increase of humanknowledge. In our case this means prin-cipally studies of two sorts : ( i ) attempts271272 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEto see the past as it really was and thus togive to the great literature of the past thesetting of rich and vigorous life in whichit arose; (2) attempts to understand andto explain to others ali the technical pro-cesses involved in the production of literature, to seize if possible the relations be-tween great literature and the social con-ditions which produced it."Much has been done in both these fieldsin recent years. We have not yet attainedto the formulation of general laws as thenaturai sciences have, but we do not yetdespair even of that, and meanwhile we canboast that there is no great epoch of thepast, no great poet or other literary artist,who is not more truly understood and morecorrectly valued than a century ago. In thiswork the Modem Language Departmentsof the University of Chicago have bornetheir due part. To boast would be unfittingto this occasion, but I cannot refrain fromrecording that members of the departmentsare to be credited with achievements of thehighest order in at least five great litera-tures. And it is no presumption to say thatthe enthusiasm kindled in both instructorsand students by the advent of a new epochin our fortunes gives fair promise of evengreater things in the near future. To carryout these plans we shall need not only ournew building, but liberal gifts of moneyfor books and manuscripts, for professor-ships and fellowships, and last but not least,for the publication of the results of ourresearches. But for ali this we believe thatwe can confidently look to the citizens ofChicago. The enlightened civic spirit whichis beginning to create the great materialvision and dream of the city beautiful whichhas conceived and executed the outer drive-way with Soldiers' Field and the FieldMuseum, the Tribune Tower, and theWrigley Building and which has perma-nently dowered the city with the spiritualresources of the Art Institute and the Chicago Orchestra will help the Universityalso to realize its dreams of civic usefulnessas a center of the best and noblest aspira-tions of man."Dr. Otto L. Schmidt, chairman of thecentrai committee of the Affiliated Ger manie Group, spoke briefly, describing theaims of the organization and expressing ap-preciation of the University 's plans.Charles S. Peterson, vice-chairman of theorganization, next was called upon. Hesaid:"We speak of the University as spread-ing knowledge, but in that one work isincluded ali that separates man from hisbrother, the beast. A university is the cus-todian of ali that the human race has everlearned, of the sum total of human thoughtand human experience that has come downto us through the ages, from the first dis-covery that by rubbing two pieces of drywood together, or striking two pieces offlint against each other, man could createsomething that gave him light and warmth,down to measuring the diameter of nebulasa million light years away."It is in connection with this passing onof the knowledge gained by the past thatwe are here today. With the magnificentgift of Mr. Wieboldt as a foundation, weexpect to make the great contributions tohuman culture of the Germanie races betterknown and more available in American cultural development. We hope thus to beof some service, some aid, to the Universityin its great work."But passing on this store of knowledgeinherited from the past is only half of theUniversity 's work. The other, and equallyimportant half, is adding to that store —bringing more light to the human mind.It has been said that money is the root ofali evil. Is it not rather true that ignoranceis the root of ali evil and that the day towhich our race is looking forward, the daywhose coming we hope the work of theUniversity will hasten, is that in which menshall be competent because they know theirtasks, just because they know each other,and happy because they know of what hap-piness consists?"President Mason introduced Mr. andMrs. Wieboldt to the audience, and Mr.Wieboldt responded in these words:"It is a great satisfaction to Mrs. Wieboldt and myself and a remarkable tokenof interest in the University of Chicago(Phase turn to page 289)Daniel W. Morehouse, '03, President ofDrake UniversityDANIEL WALTER MORE-HOUSE, fifth President of DrakeUniversity, was born in a loghouse near Mankato, Minnesota, February22, 1876. His father, Aaron Morehouse,was a farmer and pioneer. In the eighties,the family moved to WTatertown, Minnesota, where Daniel atttended school in thesummer and taught during the winter, beginning his teaching when he was "aroundabout the eighth grade." Later he acceptedan invitation to join the faculty of Northwestern Christian College at Excelsior,Minnesota, where he received a professorialappointment. When this institution burnedin December, 1896, he resumed his workat Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa,where he received the degree of Bachelorof Science in 1900. In addition to his aca-demic work here, Mr. Morehouse workedin a clothing store, held a membership inthe Athens Literary Society, and rose toprominence as class president. He alsoplayed center on the championship footballteam at Drake in 1898.Ahvays interested in machinery, par-ticularly in the performance of a machine,he was fascinated by the telescope when,in 1897 at Drake University, he was firstpermitted to look through one. Because,in addition to the appeal which the telescope and the study of astronomy itself hadfor him, he found the astronomers whom hemet "so gracious and big-hearted," he de-cided to make this science his life work.In 1900 he became Associate Professor ofPhysics and Astronomy at Drake and received his A. M. from there in 1902. Con-tinuing his study, during summers, underDr. Moulton at the University of Chicago,he took an S. B. degree at Chicago in 1903.At Yerkes Observatory, in 1908, Dr.Morehouse, photographing the sky, dis-covered a new comet, since known as"Comet C, Morehouse."For years Dr. Morehouse was Professorof Physics and Astronomy at Drake. In President Walter A. Jessup, University of Iowa(left), and President Daniel W. Morehouse,'03, Drake University19 14 he received his doctorate at the University of California, having spent a yearin residence there. The subject of his thesiswas "On the Orbit of the Seventh Satelliteof Jupiter.""Observations of the Total Eclipse ofthe Sun on June 8, 1918, at Matheson,Colorado," a technical paper the materialfor which Dr. Morehouse obtained by mov-ing the great telescope from Des Moines,Iowa, to Matheson, Colorado, contains in-formation of world-wide importance. Heand his assistant operated the instrumentsduring the eclipse and his observations arerecorded in a clear, forceful manner.The dream of Dr. Morehouse of an observatory "for the people" was realized in1921 when the Drake University MunicipalObservatory was dedicated. This observatory, the construction of which is due largelyto his efforts, is better known as MorehouseObservatory. Here in the "White House,"he and his wife, Myrtle Slayton Morehouse,keep "open house" for the citizens of Des2732 74 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEMoines, whose generosity made possible therealization of his ambition.While Dr. Morehouse speaks eloquentlyabout any phase of astronomy, he will saylittle about himself and his own accomplish-ments. He refuses to take credit to himself for any of his success, but insists, "Inever could do anything alone — when I wascenter-rush I had to have at least ten othermen to help me make a point, and it tookthe reserves, the 'Bull Pups', and the crowdson the sidelines to win the game."Having served successfully as ActingPresident, Dr. Morehouse was made President of Drake University in 1923.The Evening Tribune of Des Moines,commenting upon the election of Dr. More-house, says, "The new president is well andfavorably known to the DesMoines community, has youth and enthusiasm in hisfavor, and has been long enough with theUniversity to know its ins and outs and tofeel the full responsibility of administrativeleadership. His friends will be greatly sur-prised if President Morehouse does not ma-terially stimulate and accelerate Drake'sprogress."Newspaper Article ONCharles M. Steele, S.B.'o4THE following article on Charles M.Steele, S. B. '04, who was Presidentof our New York Alumni Club, and whoassisted in the Alumni campaign, recentlyappeared in the New York Evening Post :Life in the trenches was bad, but to beleft behind at any one of the nine ports ofentry to unload ships was worse. Ask anyof the young Americans who went over tofight Germans, not to turn stevedores. Thework lagged in 1918 and General James G.Harbord asked the Y.M.C.A. to think ofsome way of injecting a little esprit de corpsinto the dock laboring soldiers.Charles M. Steele, a young advertisingman who had distinguished himself inbuilding up the entertainment circuit forthe American Army in France, had an idea."What you want is a contest," he toldthe Y.M.C.A. officiai; "something to stirrivalry among the boys."He had worked the same wheeze among automobile salesmen to increase productionat his own advertising agency in Detroit.Steele worked out plans for a contest thathe named A Race to Berlin.' In the raceeach port was a team and the miles weremeasured in terms of work. Ali work overthe normal amount counted as a leg on thejourney. The port in the lead could fly abanner and the leading company in thewinning port got an extra furlough. General Harbord liked the pian and askedSteele to help organize it. The Detroitadvertising man soon had bands playing,speakers in every port, score-boards in alithe mess halls and the ports working likeblazes in competition.In the same way Steele had previouslybuilt up the entertainment circuit fromtwenty performers to 450 performers. Fewof the former doughboys in the Street knowthat they have to thank him for theirshows behind the line.A partner in the Wall Street firm ofDominick & Dominick became interested inSteele in France and invited him to workfor him after the war. Steele started withthe firm six years ago. He got a desk andwas told to "see what job you can find."When he resigned from the firm a fewmonths ago to accept a partnership in Auer-bach, Pollak & Richardson, he was head ofthe bond department.Charles M. Steele was born in Keokuk,la. He worked his way through the University of Chicago as a reporter on the Chicago Tribune. After graduation he con-tinued his newspaper work with the Tribune and the Chicago News. At one time hewas on the city desk.Leaving newspaper work, Steele joinedthe advertising staff of the National CashRegister Company of Dayton and his firstjob was editing the house organ. He or-ganized his own advertising agency in Detroit and obtained large automobile advertising contracts. In 1916 he made a triparound the world for one automobile corporation, coming home through Siberia andRussia in war-time.In 191 7 he was sent to France by theY.M.C.A. to organize the entertainmentdepartment.Are Colleges Unifying India?DO you speak Indian?" is a questionoften put to the missionary fromIndia home on furlough, and themissionary is sometimes sorely tempted tofly in the face of both truth and good man-ners by answering flippantly, "Only Sing-halese, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalum, Kana-rese and a smattering of Marathi, Urdù andBengali. We don't hear North Indiaspoken in our parts." But seriously, ourstudent body in the Women's ChristianCollege at Madras is as varied as that, ex-cept that as it happens our three studentsfrom Ceylon ali speak Tamil, not Singha-lese. Besides ali that we have, for the firsttime, one girl from the toy kingdom ofCoorg — forty by thirty miles in extent — aNative State until recently it asked to betaken under the protection of the BritishGovernment. It is a tiny country in thehill region near Mysore, and its speech isa queer jumble of the several Dravidianlanguages of South India, but one stopsfeeling amused and patronizing and standsat attention upon being told that there isno child marriage among the Coorg people,twenty Qr even twenty-five being a suitableage for the marriage of a girl, and thatelementary éducation is compulsory, evenfor girls (in a land where only one womanin a hundred can read or write her ownlanguage).The other question that we from the college have often to answer on furlough,"Do you teach the students in their ownlanguage ?" is more or less a naturai one,in as much as that is just what is done, toa large extent in the various mission schools,which serve definite language areas ; but inthe Women's Christian College Englishwould have to be the common language,both of class room instruction and socialintercourse, even if the University of Madras did not lay such stress upon proficiencyin English. Fancy what a literal Babelwould result, even in the dining room,should the students lapse into the use oftheir respective languages — and there is ab- solutely no common language save English !Of course there is instruction in the literature and composition of the various languages, but that is carried on by IndianPandits. The Anglo-Indian girls, who arenot sufficiently conversant with any Indianlanguage to count it their own vernacular,study French or Latin instead. Occasional-ly some student must substitute one or theother of these Indian languages for herown, because her language is not recognizedby the University, or because no Pandit isavailable, as, for instance, when severalyears ago a Karen girl carne to the collegeto take her pre-medicai science before re-turning to Burma to study medicine in theUniversity of Rangoon.The countries our students come fromare as varied as are their widely differentlanguages: — the tangled jungles of theCentral Provinces, where mail is stili carriedby runners, and man-eating crocodiles sunthemselves on muddy river banks ; the rocky,arid plateau of the Deccan ; the emeraldpaddy fìelds of Tanjore — mile upon mileof dazzling green ; the sandy wastes of Tin-nevelly, sprinkled with Palmyra palms andglorified by its far blue horizons of mistyheaven-kissing hills ; the black waters ofTravancore, where one may dream awaylong heavy-scented days amid their pictur-esque palm-fringed shores and dykes, fithaven for lotus eaters — and this is but abeginning.This is the Joy of being in union work.Not only are we being brought into contact with the life of ali South India, butwe are watching India herself growing to-gether into a nation instead of a mere aggre-gation of races. In this college we havebeen proving, too, for almost ten years,how possible — yes, how easy — it is for different nations (for we are Indian, British, andAmerican and denominationally Angelican,Presbyterian, Congregational, Methodist,Lutheran, Reformed Church and Baptist),to work together at a common task.Olive M. Sarber, M.A. '16,Women's Christian College, Madras.275Some Impressions of AmericaBy Chandra Gooneratne, East Indian Student at the UniversityTHE more I travel the more I feelconvinced that the major differencesthat separate human groups from oneanother are rooted in misunderstandingsdue to varying customs and a lack of in-formation of the deeper values that bind usali together while individualities are pre-served in another cause. When those condi-tions prevail it is no wonder that minorsuperficial dissimilarities loom up so big inthe minds of most peoples, clouding mo-mentarily out of view the great truths andvalues that hold us firmly together be-neath a seeming variety. I am discoveringali the time kindred minds underneath dif-ferent headgears — be they hats or turbans.I have felt that while India, the sunnyland of my birth, has given me my initialendowment, England has given me my outlook, while America is actually equippingme for my life-work. Should I eventuali}'achieve in some measure what it is my pur-pose to accomplish, I should not be a bitsurprised were I then to realize that I ammost indebted to America for my mentalequipment and spirit.There was a time when my whole worldbegan and ended with India. Then Britaincarne in through my love and reverencefor her great men of history, and throughpersonal contacts wth some of her noblestsons and daughters. Naturally, my politicai horizon and social outlook extended tothe boundaries of the Empire. Now asmy stock of happy memories of your greatland is ever increasing, my cultural interesthas enveloped three continents. I alreadyfeel I am heavily indebted to ali three ofthese and my aspiration is to be able,through my work and travels, to repay someof it in some small measure as I find op-portunities for doing so.I feel so happy as I look back on the sixweeks spent in "Uncle Sam's own trainingcamp." I shall probably remember it asamong the priceless experiences of my life.I have been inspired by the fine, clean,strong type of young American manhood I saw there, to whom you are entrusting thesafe-keeping of this rich heritage of yours.I must confess that I saw in camp at Spartafor the first time a glimpse of the spirit oftrue democracy in Amerca. Strange as itmay sound to you, I have not seen the likeof that on the campus, or anywhere elsein Chicago where I have spent most of myshort stay in the U. S. A. The socialgroups I know, where I as a visitor fromanother shore have been made most sincerelywelcome, are in the final analysis cliqueswithin cliques, circles around circles.Many an evening as I walked towards thesetting sun, across the railway lines, orunder the canopy of those star-lit nights,my mind went back to the days I spent withthe M. E. F. in Mesopotamia, with theDunster Force in Persia, and later with theB. E. F. in Flanders, and I naturallywondered why there were so few of UncleSam's own heirs who should be preparingfor an intelligent trusteeship of their richheritage. I also wondered what thingswould come to if more future custodiansfailed to come forward in proportion to theimportance and the significance of the leg-acy which they expect to inherit.One thing has amazed me more thananything else in your country. The re-markable spirit of good will and friendli-ness, which most of your people of my ac-quaintance seem to have towards visitorsfrom other lands who are here today andgone tomorrow, has been the most inspiringphase of your national life — if I may terniit such — that I have experienced. I haveliterally stood before some expressions ofit and marvelled. It is a thing that I havenever come across in Asia, or in the Near-East, or even in continental Europe — Ishould say not even in England, the homeof our Empire. My host of happy memories among your large-hearted and noblespirited people is increasing ali the time.The companionship that I have been invitedto share and the bounteous hospitalitywhich most friends have shown me, leave276SOME IMPRESSIONS OF AMERICA 277me with an indebtedness to America thatI could never aspire to repay, except per-haps by being imbued in turn by the samespirit in my future contacts in other landswith other peoples and through the thoughtcurrents of the day.Being the only "curio" and the only non-American subject in camp, I very naturallyexpected to "skip" most of the cadet ranks,except, of course, the noble rank of "K. P."which I thought no one would miss, be hevisitor or not. At school I only have anhonorary rank because of the so-called "delicate situation" there. (In this connectionI have been wondering how my friend,Prince Prodisch, from Siam, a cadet at theCulver Military Academy, has been gettingon.) Having played polo at school whileothers learned field artillery formations,you can well imagine the nasty predicamentI discovered myself in when, on my thirdday at camp, I saw listed, "Chandra — istStg." Things didn't stop there. Early inthe last fortnight, to my perfect horror, Isaw "B. C." attached to my name. I hadnever expected to go above the lieutenantrank because perhaps of another "delicatesituation." I thought to myself, "Bless mysoul! Couldn't these giddy officers haveselected some one else, who knows thisbusiness better, out of a crew of one hun-dred and twenty-five fellows, and let apoor 'heathen' alone." I bet my boots somefellows felt not unlike what a detail ofLancashire lads once felt on the PersianBorder when they discovered who I was.Anyway, things went merry as a marriagebeli until after retreat when I delightfullysucceeded in making a dreadful slip, shout-ing, "Stand easy!" instead of "Stand atease!" When Lieutenant Gilhart wishedto make an announcement, you can easilyimagine what happened. But ali of us en-joyed it and I, too, got a "kick" out of that.Ali throughout the camp I felt hope-fully convinced that if you, as a people andas a nation of men were to be fired withthat spirit of almost sacred duty that youowe to your country, combined with suchsincere good will towards ali others, youare bound sooner or later to influence com-pletely the rest of humanity. It is a spirit Chandra GooneratneCaptain, 1926, Polo Team. He is a well-seasoned player and a daring horseman.so closely akin to that which possessed thenoble pioneers of the Great British Empirewho built up that mighty politicai institu-tion which is speedily beginning to be calledthe Great British Commonwealth of FreeNations.At school we swear by our beloved chief,Major Barrows, who really has put theR. O. T. C. "on the map" on the campus,and is unquestionably a prince among men.Living together for six weeks, attemptingdifficult things, teaching and studying together, often in the typical Indian fashionat the "Guru's Feet" and in the open,disclosed to us other leaders and buildersof men with sterling qualities, bulwarksof this mighty nation and its only suresecurity. I wish there were a greater res-pect on the part of most of your peopletowards these men, as the people in Englandand India have towards the mainstay andback-bone of the country.Those six weeks have been a Joy and aninspiration to me unparalleled anywhereelse — in India, Mesopotamia, Persia, orFlanders, or even in "Blighty" itself — theterm we use for England.

Reunion thisyear comes on June io, 11, 12,with Alumni Day on Saturday,June I2th. Every Clubshould pian now for a meeting at thatJune time — in the spirit of nation-wide Reunion observance. Many Alumni can notreturn to the Quadrangles for Reunion;but, in absence of such good fortune, alarge number can meet and observe the oc-casion with fellow-alumni in Club lo-calities throughout the country. The Clubsshould provide the opportunity for suchChicago assemblies.Is not this, indeed, one very importantconnecting function which ali Clubs canregularly assume? Already, some of ourClubs have a Reunion meeting on theirregular calendar. We urge ali of ourClubs to start this happy custom at thisimportant 35th Anniversary Reunion.Recently the Clubs were specially noti-fied of the University's radio activities.Club officers now receive the monthly radio-program announcements. We hope, fur-thermore, to broadcast some Reunion fea-tures. Thus most of the Clubs may wellhave direct contact with Alma Mater atReunion time — a unique feature thatshould add greatly to the meaning, spiritand general success of Club reunions. Letus witness this year the most effective Clubgatherings in our history! CitizensCampaignRS THE Alumni Campaign, the firstphase of the general program of the Committee on Development, is drawingtoward a successful conclu-sion — thanks to the high-minded loyalty and helpful co-operation of thousands of Alumni — -theCitizens Campaign in Chicago and ad-joining territory is taking definite form.Under the able and energetic chairmanshipof Mr. B. E. Sunny, chairman of the boardof the Illinois Bell Telephone Company, aCitizens Committee of over one hundredleading citizens of Chicago has been organ-ized to assist in early realization of the greataims of the University.In the Citizens Campaign now underway — though, of course, that "campaign"will be somewhat differenti}' conducted thanwas the Alumni effort — it is hoped that themajor part of the Development Funds, sopressingly needed by the University, willbe obtained. Nor is that hope by any meansunfounded. The citizens of Chicago, withtrue pride in the University as one of itsinternationally known institutions, havecontributed most generously toward the up-building and advancement of the Universityin the past. Our history shows that, fromthe very beginning, the institution attraetecithe keen attention and support of manyprominent men and women in Chicago, andmuch of its continued success has been dueto their steady assistance, their donationsand contributions.In return, the University of Chicago hasbecome what ali thoughtful citizens in solarge a metropolitan center desire — a university of first rank, effectively reflectingthe educational, scientific, and cultural as-278EVENTS AND COMMENT 279pirations of a great city, contributing con-stantly and directly in many ways to thewelfare of society, and giving a speciallustre to the name of Chicago both at homeand abroad. To retain and measurably ex-tend that high place is the aim of the Committee on Development — an aim which hasalready found understanding sympathy withthe Citizens Committee, and which undertheir guidance, we are sure, will find properand timely response from a large numberof the citizens of Chicago.At this time, the Alumni wish to expresssincerest thanks to the members of the Citizens Committee, now so heartily enteringupon their plans, for their willingness toundertake this great task. We have everyconfidence that the results of their endeav-ors will be large, permanent and far-reach-ing. So far as our Alumni may, and areable to, we know they will always be gladto co-operate as required.

He outlined briefly the history ofthe Conference and mentioned some of itsmore notable contributions to the properconduct of intercollegiate athletics. Thefact that the Western Conference has func-tioned so successfully for thirty yearsshould not pass unnoticed.At the time of organization, thirty yearsago, the Conference was, of course, somewhat smaller in the number of its members.And for a time, in the early days of thepresent century, it was composed of ninemembers, and popularly called the "BigNine." Within recent years, with theadvent of Ohio State University, and thereturn of Michigan, the Conference hashad ten members, and is now generallyknown as the "Big Ten." Our Alumni,of course, are familiar with its universitymembership, which, in the main, representsthe larger universities in the Middle West.It is now almost universally concededthat no single organization or group ofeducational institutions has done as muchfor the development of college athleticsalong the best lines as has the WesternConference. Most of the progress andbroadening purposes of college athletics,as conducted throughout the country, foundinception in the work and policies of theConference group.

Its manycontributions have been decidedly worth-while, not only for its own members butfor many other institutions as well.The most recent development, owing tothe large amount of details and other mat-ters requiring Constant attention, has beenthe organization of a centrai office. Theoffice is located in Chicago, and in chargeof Major John L. Griffiths, Athletic Com-missioner of the Western Conference. Ithas proved of great help in many ways,under the able direction of Major Griffiths. His annual reports, incidentally, re-veal that during the course of a year, somemillions of people witness the Conferencefootball, basketball, track and other games— sufficient testimony to Alumni and publicinterest in the sports as conducted by theConference. The athletic achievementsand records of the Conference teams andindividuai, taken as a group, rank secondto no other group in America.It is gratifying to know that in the organization, fostering and development of theWestern Conference, the University of Chicago has played a leading part. And inthis contribution, it need scarcely be said,Director Stagg has always been a figure ofinspiration and proper direction. We congratulate the Conference on its manyachievements, and take occasion on its thir-tieth anniversary to wish it a long andcontinuously helpful and prosperous career.35th ANNIVERSARY REUNIONJUNE 10-11-12I THE LETTER BOX ìA Letter by the late PresidentBurtonEditor,University of Chicago Magazine:During the summer of 1925, it was mygood fortune to meet the Reverend WalterB. Shumway, D. D., Dean of the Theolog-ical Department of Tempie University,Philadelphia. In the midst of conversationDr. Shumway told me that he was a studentin Newton Theological Institution in 1892,when President Burton, then head of theNew Testament Department there, was in-vited to accept the corresponding positionin the Divinity School of the University ofChicago, and that he was one of a committee of students who expressed in a letterto Professor Burton the earnest desire of thewhole student body that he remain at Newton. In reply Professor Burton wrote aletter expressing his appreciation of theiresteem and stating in part his reasons foraccepting the position at Chicago. At myrequest Dr. Shumway has given me a copyof this letter. Frederic J. Gurney,Assistant Recorder.The Newton Theological Institution,Newton Centre, Mass., Aprii 11, 1892.New Testament Department.Messrs. W. F. Arlington, C. A. Eaton, H. T.Slocum, W. B. Shumway, A. T. RingoldMy dear Friends:I regret that circumstances, the precise natureof which I need not state, have necessitateda delay of more than a month in my reply toyour highly esteemed letter of Feb. 2oth, inwhich on behalf of yourselves and your fellow-students you expressed the hope that I mightcontinue my relation to this Institution. I thinkI need not assure you that this delay has in nodegree been caused by a lack of appreciationof your communication.That I have felt compelled to act otherwisethan as you so kindly suggested, you have per-haps already suspected. It only remains, there-fore, for me to express my deep and sinceresense of the honor conferred on me by your letter, and to explain briefly the reasons for thestep I have taken.Few occurences, if any, of my nine years'connection with this school have been so grate-ful to me as this expression of the esteem andregard of those whom I have had the pleasureof counting among my pupils and friends. Iearnestly hope that I may in this at least showmyself worthy of your words, that they shallbe to me an impetus to more sincere and earnestservice in the future.It would require more time than I can justlytake to present in full the reasons which haveled to my decision to sever my connection withthis Institution, in which I have spent ninehappy years, to which I have become moststrongly attached, and in which I had hopedto spend ali the years that God should giveme for further active service.I can only say here briefly that as I ponderedand prayed over the matter night and day forweeks, out of much doubt and indecision thereissued at Iength a conviction, which has grownclear and strong, that my duty for the immediate future, perhaps for the remainder of mylife, lies in the West rather than here. If Iread the signs of the times aright, the battleof Christianity in this country for the nextquarter century is to be waged somewhat morefiercely in the Mississippi Valley than on theNew England coast. And in that MississippiValley, perhaps no place will be so nearly thevery heart and center of the conflict as the cityof Chicago. A theological Seminary connectedwith a University in that city holds a positionof peculiar importance, and he who is to teachthe New Testament in such a school occupiesa place of most solemn responsibility. A sober-minded man could hardly choose for himselfsuch a responsibility. Only when he believesthat there is a cali of Divine Providence couldhe venture to accept it. But when he believesthis, then it is equally true that he dare notrefuse it. When my students have done me thehonor to ask my advice about their place offuture service, I have always advised on theprinciple that other things being equal theplace which was nearest the edge of battlefurnished largest evidence of being the one towhich Providence called. On this principle Ihave felt compelled myself to act in the presentcase. There was a time indeed when I feltthat my present relation to this school formed acounter consideration more than outweighing(Please turn to page 298)283Former Dean Small Passes AwayANOTHER of that great group of fa-l mous educators who gathered at theUniversity of Chicago when it first openedits doors in 1892 has passed away.

Koch, Prof. Eliakim H. Moore, Prof.Walter Sargent. Below, left to right: Prof. Julius Stieglitz, Prof. John M. Coulter, Prof. JamesH. Tufts, Prof. Albion W. Small.Although ili health had prevented Professor Small from attempting much activework in recent years he continued serviceas an advisor — one of the most revered menin the University. For years he had wonand held a wide circle of friends. Amonghis colleagues at the University no workerwas more admired and loved than he. Inmany special ways he served his departmentand. the University, gladly and willinglyassuming an unusually long list of dutiesand heavy responsibilities. He was a famil-iar, cordial and witty figure at the Quad-rangle Club; he served the club for a timeas president. Among the members of hisdepartment he always sought to emphasizethe attitude that they were working not"for" him but "with" him.Among the Alumni he was widely knownand revered. Recently a portrait of Dr.Small was presented to the University, in the presentation of which his former students contributed. To those who had spe-cialized in the field of sociology he wasnot only an inspiring leader but ever acounselor and friend.In his tribute to Professor Small at thefuneral services, Vice-President Tuftsstated :"This human life is at best tragicallyshort. The life of the scholar is evenshorter than that of his fellows if measuredby the task at which he works or by thecompass of the horizon in which he dwells.For the tasks of most men are concernedmore closely and directly with affairs thathave their beginning and end within thelimits of seedtime and harvest, of the pe-riod for establishing a business or accumu-lating a competence, or at ali events withinthe limits which nature has fixed of youthand age. The scholar is ranging ever far-286 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEther in time and space and entering deepwithin the undiscovered regions of mind,or contemplating forms in which art embod-ies eternai values. For the thinker whodwells amid such infinite reaches our noisyyears do seem indeed but moments in theeternai silence."Yet the scholar and the member of acommunity such as ours has too his compen-sations. For though his task is great hefeels that his own share finds its place alongwith that of fellow seekers for truth throughthe ages in the enlargement of knowledgeand the enrichment of life. And as a member of the University community he ishelping to build an institution which willprolong his life and multiply his influence.A university, as we know well, is more thanits buildings; it is more than the stream ofolder and younger scholars who pass throughits doors in successive years; it has anabiding spirit which informs its membersand sets for them many a pattern of thoughtand high emprise. Professor Small hasbeen one of the finest contributors to thepattern and spirit of this our university.His real life goes on."« « «University Preachers for SpringTHE first University Preacher in theSpring Quarter at the University wasDean Charles Reynolds Brown, of the YaleDivinity School, who spoke on Aprii 4.

University Research Workers inCentral AmericaA University of Chicago expedition toHonduras, Central America, to makea scientific study of malaria in order to finda more accurate diagnostic test of the dis-ease will be made in Aprii by Dr WilliamH. Taliaferro, Associate Professor of Para-sitology. He will be accompanied by Mrs.Taliaferro, who is also engaged in research.They «'ili make their headquarters at oneof the camps of the United Fruit Companyin the heart of Honduras, and will be goneabout three months.This research on malaria will be a con-tribution to the work that has been goingon in the Department of Hygiene andBacteriology at the LTniversity for a longtime, and is being supported by an inter-national health board which is interestedin the control of such diseases as malaria,hookworm, and yellow fever.Such an expedition recalls the work ofDr. Howard Taylor Ricketts, of the University of Chicago, who lost his life inMexico while studying spotted typhusfever, the germ of which he had previouslydiscovered. However, immunizing methods are better understood at the presenttime, and Dr. Taliaferro's party will ex-perience the minimum of danger, it is said,with the necessary precautionary measures.Present Mr. Swift With JapanesePrintsRUSSELL CUNNINGHAM, captainof the Maroon baseball team whichtravelled to the Orient, recently presentedHarold H.

They consist in part of a thousandpieces of flint, chipped by the hand of pre-historic man, which have recently beenclassified for the Department of Anthro-pology and been found to date back at leastto the paleolithic era from 50,000 to 100,-OOO years ago.Dr. Breasted's discovery of these flintswas one of the things leading to his requestto the General Éducation Board of NewYork for additional funds with which tocarry on excavations in the caverns of theNile to determine the chronological sequenceand parallel development of prehistoricman in Egypt.In his articles on "Origins of Civiliza-tion" Professor Breasted says that the flintsin this collection were evidently washeddown from the heights and depositedbefore the Nile began to fall in its leveland to develop into a river with suffkientcurrent for cutting down the present riverterraces. They are embedded in greatnumbers in the rock of the upper riverterraces, which was hard enough in theEleventh dynasty (2 160-2000 b.c.) to beexcavated for tombs.èa » «Wieboldt Hall Addresses(Contìnued from page 272)that so many representative people of Chicago have come to witness the formai exer-cises in connection with the breaking ofground for the Modem Language Building."I regret that he who conceived the ideato link together the interests of the Germanie Nationalities in the University ofChicago is not with us today to see the ripen-ing fruit of the work which he began.

Aftera somewhat extended deliberation over thescenarios submitted, the honors wereawarded to William Bager, '26, and WalkerB. Davis, '27, a Junior in the LawSchool. With the announcement of thisyear's choice, several precedents seem tohave been broken. While Alumni havewritten shows before, it is quite unusual tohave a Law student turn from his seriouswork and indulge in the writing of lyrics,pokes, and other humorous subtleties. Thecontribution of these two men to Blackfriarsis the first venture for either in writing forproduction.Hamilton Coleman, who headed the committee that selected the play and who hasdirected Blackfriar productions for a number of years, contemplates one of the mostbrilliant and successful shows in the historyof the Order.The play concerns itself with financial and emotional difficulties in a mythical"kingdom" in Florida and then with lifeat the University. There is much cleversatirizing of college life, ali of which goesto make it real "collegiate." The play willbe full of catchy songs and snappy dances.Among those of the Blackfriars who willhave prominent parts in the performanceare Clyde Keutzer, '26, who starred in lastyear's production ; Don McGinnis, '26,whose dramatic ability is well known amongthe Alumni; and Seward Covert, '26, another Friar of light-footed footlight fame.Paul Cullom, '26, Abbot of the Order,and Philip Watrous, '27, Business Manager, have made preparations to handlepromptly ali mail orders for tickets fromthe Alumni.

Within two weeks steam shovels will be at workdigging the foundation for the great struc-ture that will eventually bring the totalseating capacity of Stagg Field to overseventy thousand. The main floor of thegreat structure with 17,000 seats is to becompleted by next fall. Field stands infront will bring the capacity of this unitto over 20,000 people.For the first time in many years, ali theAlumni, buying season tickets, may lookforward to good seats to watch CoachStagg's warriors in action against suchteams as Illinois, Ohio State, and Wisconsin next fall. The present Stagg Field, which seated only 33,000 last year, willbe changed about so that the main axis ofthe field will run east and west. Thepresent west stand will thus become thewest-end bleacher.The new stadium will be built of concrete and steel and will measure 441 ft.long x 150 ft. deep. There will be 75rows of seats in the permanent structure,and 18 rows of temporary seats in -front.Ramps will lead to the permanent seats.One of the important features in additionto the increased seating will be a huge hall50 ft. wide and 440 ft. long, running theentire length of the stadium. This addi-tional space will be wide enough to be usedfor basketball classes, wrestling, gymnasium,indoor tennis, winter baseball, etc. A temporary cinder track will be built and usedfor practice purposes until the completion291292 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEof the new field house which has been prom-ised shortly, and for which the first shovelfull of dirt was turned at the ceremoniesbefore the Dartmouth game last fall.Chicago's gridiron plant has remainedpractically the same since the completionof the present west stand in the fall of19 12.

In addition to winningthis annual meet, the Maroons won theirdual meets during the season in ratherimpressive fashion.On March 24 the team held a dual meetwith the Gymnastic Team of the University of Pennsylvania, the Penn gymnastshaving won the dual-meet championshipin the east. The meet, which was held atPhiladelphia, was won by Chicago by ascore of 25 to 20. When the final eventof the night started Penn was leading,. 19to 17, but the final event, tumbling, wentto the men from the west and brought vie-tory to Chicago. Connor, who the weekprevious had won the western conferencetumbling championship, captured enoughpoints, 52.25, for first place, to swing thevictory to the Maroons. For years Maroongymnastic teams have been noted for theirhigh team average and several star individuai performers.à à «Spring FootballSPRING Football has started in earnest.Over forty men are working out eachafternoon for the 1926 football team. Practically ali the numerai men of last yearand several of the substitutes are workingfor the team.With the loss of fifteen "C" men andthe dropping from college of another reg- ular, next Fall's football team is certainto be made up largely of heretofore unheardof players.« » «TennisEIGHT candidates are working outdaily for the Tennis Team. Fourveterans are back from last year; Capt.Schaeffer is already in fine form and isexpected to rank first or second on the team.Among the other veterans to be back areRichard Hudlin, fourth man on the teamlast year; "Windy" Bennett and ParkerHall substitutes. Gene Francis, of football fame, Thorpe Drain, another footballstar, are trying out for the team for thefirst time; they are good players and areexpected to put their fighting ability to agood test in tennis. Drain, in particular,plays a heady chop-stroke game and is ahard man to defeat. Shapinsky, a sopho-more, has shown unusual ability in practiceand is favored to win a place.

Reed in preparation forthe Conference season.(à « «Track TeamThe track team, under the direction ofCoach Stagg, is hard at work in preparationfor the Ohio State, Pennsylvania, andDrake Relays during the latter part of thismonth. The team this year bids well tohold up Chicago's reputation at the Pennrelays. Last year Chicago won second placeto Georgetown, in the sprint medley of thePenn Relays, and also placed fourth in thequarter mile relay. While Chicago has notwon first place in a relay during the lastfour years, it has placed second three times,third four times, and fourth three times inrelays in that event. This year's team isexpected to specialize in the sprint medleyevent with Beai running the quarter mile,McKinney and Kernwein each the 220, andCusack the half mile. The team that goesto Penn will probably include Burg whowon first place in the conference indoormeet in the high jump with a leap of 6 ft.3 in. The freshmen team, which now numbers 40 members, is working out daily withthe Varsity.l LAW SCHOOL lMacCracken, '12, Addresses LawAssociation MeetingABOUT 25 Chicago members of the As-i-sociation met on Wednesday, March3, 1926, at the Morrison Hotel for luncheon. William P. MacCracken, '09, J.D.'12, was the speaker and guest of honor,having been elected Secretary of the American Bar Association last September at itsannual meeting in Detroit. He was intro-duced by Dean Hall, who told the groupthat he thought the American Bar Association was fortunate in obtaining a man of"Bill's" social instincts and general ability,and he felt this was one of the biggest po-sitions that any of his boys had been elevatedto; and when he looked around the tableand saw railroad lawyers and tax lawyers,and then looked at his left and saw theSecretary of the American Bar Association,it reconciled him to his gray hairs, and hecouldn't help but feel fatherly pride. Hethen called on "Bill" to teli us his impres-sions as Secretary of the American BarAssociation."Bill," in his characteristic way, chidedthe group and the Law School Alumni fornot being more active in the American BarAssociation, explaining that it offered asplendid opportunity for unselfish service.He told of the beginning of the Chicagoluncheons at the Bar Association conven-tions, which were initiated by himself andGeorge M. Morris, J.D. '15, and how theidea had grown so that at the last convention there were io or 12 present. He re-minded us that the Alumni had not beenactive in the Association in the way thatthe graduates were from the other almost-as-good schools, such as Harvard, Michigan and Columbia. He hoped with the re-moval of headquarters to Chicago that themembership of Chicago lawyers, especiallyUniversity of Chicago lawyers, would increase.

Douglas, Professor of Industriai RelationsAMERICAN industry since the war hastmade more experiments in industriairelations than in any other previous period.The shortage of labor during the yearsfrom 1916 to 1919 led to a great deal ofdiscussion concerning labor matters, but thechief practical f ruitage was in the establishment of employment departments whichwould enable the particular industries tosecure men more easily. After the war,however, and despite the setback caused bythe depression of 1921, a wide variety ofnew methods have been put into effect bylarge numbers of business concerns. Therehas been, for example, wide spread experi-mentation with employee representation,profit sharing, incentive systems of payment,old age pensions, employees' benefit plans,group insurance, and employee stock owner-ship. This increased interest in industriairelations has been accompanied by, and prob-ably has caused in part, the great increasein relative output which American industries have attained. Thus, although therewere three per cent fewer wage earnersemployed in 1923 than in 1919, the totalphysical output of our manufacturing industries was thirty per cent greater. Thiswas, therefore, an increase in physical output per wage earner of thirty-four per cent.We are attempting in the School ofCommerce and Administration to study asmany of these experiments as is possibleand we have launched a number of investi-gations into their nature and success. Oneof the most important of these studies isthat of the investigation into the Movementof Real Wages which has been carried onfor nearly three years and the final resultsof which are to be published by the PollakFoundation next fall. In brief, this investigation indicates that the average annualearnings of employed workers in manufacturing in 1924 were twenty-eight per cent higher than during the decade of the nine-ties. WTage earners in the transportation industries have gained twenty-two per cent.Clerical workers and those in the lowerexecutive positions, on the other hand, havelost five per cent. The failure of the clerical workers to gain ground while the man-ual workers were improving their positionwas in part due to the increasing employment of women in clerical occupations, butit has been due undoubtedly in the main tothe increasing number of students who aregiven high school training. The highschools have enabled such large numbers ofthe children of the manual working classesto enter clerical work that the relative re-muneration of clerical work has been low-ered.The study, when completed, will showthe extent of the reduction of hours duringthe last thirty-five years and the relativeamounts of hourly earnings, full time week-ly earnings, and yearly earnings during thesame period. An index of unemploymentis now being computed which, when com-bined with the index for earnings for theemployed workers, will enable us to determine the relative gains made by theworking class as a whole.This material is being computed for somethirty manufacturing industries and for avariety of other workers as well. Industries employing in ali some thirteen millionworkers will be covered. It is planned topublish annual reports in the future uponthe Movement of Real Wages in a similarfashion to the Index of Physical Production which has been compiled by the Harvard Bureau of Economie Research.Research has also been undertaken upondifferences in wages between occupationsand localities to determine whether or notthese differences have been increasing ordecreasing. This is a study which has beengreatly needed but which has never beenundertaken on any very thorough scale.297298 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEAnother series of studies being com-menced is that of a survey of a number offirms that have inaugurated progressive labor policies. One such study of the Columbia Conserve Company has recently beenpublished in a revised form and other suchstudies will be published in the near futureWe have been able to secure the co-operationof a number of scholars in different partsof the country who are studying interestingexperiments in plants in their locality andwho are making their results available tous.Special research is also being conductedunder the direction of Professor R. W.Stone, on various incentive plans which arebeing used in Chicago industries and on theold age pension plans which are in operationin the city. We are hoping in the nearfuture to be able to secure the co-operationof a number of Chicago concerns in studying the actual results of employee represen-tation in their plants. This is one of themost needed pieces of research in the fieldof industriai relations and it is mighty de-sirable that some such careful studies shallbe made. We are also planning to study theextent and effects of employee stock owner-ship. In both of these studies the co-operation of business concerns is, of course, aprerequisite. There are, of course, manydifficulties in the way of securing such co-operation but we are hoping that they maybe surmounted. Any assistance that gradu-ates or friends in the University may beable to give in these or other matters willbe warmly welcomed, for such assistancewill be a very real contribution towards abetter understanding of the industriai problems of the day. We are, of course, readyat ali times to furnish copies of our resultsto graduates and friends of the Universityand to make available to them our large andgrowing body of the literature of industriairelations.i. « ÀThe Letter Box(Continued from page 283)those that I have suggested above, and that con-science and preference combined to hold me here.But I found little peace of mind in the decision.And when, without my action, and indeed in the face of a reiterated declination on mypart, the door which I had shut was openedagain, I felt driven to a reconsideration, whichin the end led to the decision to go West, adecision in which since it was reached my mindhas found increasing satisfaction and assurance.. . . It will readily occur to you that thereasons which have influenced me to accept aplace of work in the West will be of force inyour case perhaps when you come to chooseyour field of labor, but do not apply in thechoice of a place of study. The front ofbattle is not necessarily the best place to forgeor sharpen weapons.

Irons,who accepted the building on behalf of theCollege; Dr. Anton J. Carlson, represent-ing the Graduate School of Medicine of theUniversity of Chicago; Dr. Frank S. Shaw,representing the Presbyterian Hospital ; andPresident Max Mason, who accepted thebuilding for the University of Chicago.The new building, costing $600,000, in-cludes the Norman Bridge Laboratories ofPathology, made possible by a gift of$100,000 from Mrs. Norman Bridge. Thelaboratories comprise a five-story, all-steelstructure, so built that two stories may beadded at any time. On the west it is con-nected with the Senn Memorial Buildingand on the south with the PresbyterianHospital.Administrative offices and the library,with a capacity of 25,000 volumes, occupythe first floor. The second floor is devotedto the study of pediatrics, dermatology,gynecology, and obstetrics; and the thirdto the study of medicine with the exceptionof two laboratories for eye study. Theseeye rooms are totally without light and arepainted black to enable students and phy-sicians to have direct artificial light withoutreflection from the walls. The study ofsurgery occupies the entire fourth floor,while on the fìfth are the Norman BridgePathological Laboratories.The Rawson Laboratories and the ad-jacent Senn Memorial Building will alsohouse the Central Free Dispensary, whichduring the past year gave treatment to morethan 100,000.A recent appointment is that of AnneD. Wolf to be Superintendent of Nursesin the Albert Merritt Billings Hospitalfrom January 1, 1926.THE CONQUEST OF DISEASE 311The Conquest of DiseaseSUCCESSFUL drives, in both the laboratory and the clinical fields, whichhave immensely reduced the death rate inmany of the deadly diseases were reviewedby Dr. Edwin Oakes Jordan, Chairman ofthe Department of Bacteriology and Director of the Howard Taylor RickettsLaboratory at the University, in a publiclecture at Orchestra Hall, January 11, inthe series of illustrated lectures providedfor citizens of Chicago by the University.Under the title "The Conquest of Disease,"Dr. Jordan described the impressive progress made by mankind during the last fewdecades in combating disease, particularlysuch scourges as typhoid, diphtheria, malariaand scarlet fever.Having illustrated processes and effectsthrough this discussion of diphtheria, Dr.Jordan took up the warfare waged, inAmerica and throughout the world, uponthat disease, and also upon tuberculosis,typhoid, malaria and scarlet fever. Heshowed by means of charts displayed onstereopticon slides just what curve the deathrate from tuberculosis in the United Statestook during the years from 1812 to 1911.The chart showed at a certain point, atabout 1885, a sudden drop in the death rate,continuing more or less consistently. Thatpoint when the death rate began to "tobog-gan" carne with the discovery of the tuber-cule bacillus — a discovery made by Koch inthe year 1882.Malaria, said the lecturer, is not at present a Chicago problem. But what of scarletfever?That disease, which has had such ravagesespecially among children, often leavingserious traces in non-fatal cases, is in a fairway to be brought under control, thanksto the work of two Chicago bacteriologists,Dr. George F. and Gladys Dick, both Rushgraduates. Working in the John McCor-mick Memorial Institute of Infectious Diseases, which is affiliated with the University,this pair of scientists first identified thescarlet fever germ, then developed an im-munizing method, and fìnally worked outan antitoxin. Their work has received therecognition of scientific authorities.

This scourge no longerclaims thousands of victims each year. Thereducing of the typhoid death rate in Chicago from nearly 16 in 100,000 persons in1910 to less than 2 for the same number in1924 has been aided by the chlorination ofthe city's drinking water. A public milksupply from tuberculosis-free cattle will in->ure the elimination of practically ali tuberculosis of the bones and joints amongChicago children. The death rate fromdiphtheria has been lowered materially, andthe disease is expected to be greatly reducedin the near future by rendering ali childrenimmune.Professor Jordan, who is widely knownas a health authority in the United Statesand has often been consulted as an expertin health problems in Chicago, has beenpresident of the Society of American Bac-teriologists and is a member of the International Health Board of the RockefellerFoundation. He is the author also of anauthoritative text on General Bacteriology,and of a volume on Food Poisoning."Other diseases," said Dr. Jordan, "suchas influenza, pneumonia, cancer, and thecommon colds are not yet conquered oreven fully understood, but it is reasonablycertain that the patient work in laboratoriesgoing on ali over the world will eventuali)'lead to the discovery of methods of pre-vention.
