It involves a largeamount of preliminary planning, the crea-tion of a working organization, and theConstant attention to many details. It isalways of real advantage, therefore, in as-suring general Reunion success, to have ex-perienced "performers" at the head ofaffairs. Ali of the members of this year'sCommittee have had Reunion experienceof one kind or another, and some of themare really famous "old timers" at the business.

The program in out-line, as drawn up at present, is presented onanother page in the Magazine. A moredetailed announcement, of course, reachesthe Alumni through the mails. The announcement, as customary, is sent to alithe thousands of our Alumni on the re-cords, carrying the invitation to Chicagoansin ali parts of the world. The leadingCollege events will again be concentratedon Alumni Day — Saturday, June 12 — butthe entire program covers a week of annualReunion events and activities, opening withthe Annual "C" Dinner on Thursday, June10. Anniversary Class CelebrationsSome of our strongest classes celebratetheir anniversaries this year, hence class activities will be very prominent throughoutthe Reunion. In fact the Reunion Committee was persuaded to have the Sing comeas the closing feature on Saturday, AlumniDay, as was tried last year, so as to allowFriday evening for the celebrating anniversary classes. Plans are being made bythe various class officers for importantaffairs observing anniversaries running fromthe 40th to the ist. Ali members of theseclasses are urged to get and keep in touchwith their class representatives.Breasted Lecture for Alumniand Presidente ReceptionAsignificent and most interesting addi-. to the Reunion program this year willbe a special lecture for Alumni by oneof the noted faculty members. ProfessorJames H. Breasted, just recently returnedfrom his famous work in Egypt, will deliverthis notable lecture. The lecture, entitled"The University of Chicago in the NearEast," will be of the kind that gained suchwide attention in the series of lectures presented by the University. at Orchestra Hall.It will be given in Mandel Hall, Fridayevening, June nth. In connection with itthere will be an informai reception forAlumni by President Mason, Vice-Presi-dents Woodward and Steere, and ProfessorBreasted. Ali Alumni are most cordiali}'invited to attend. It is the aim to havesuch distinguished University representationas a traditional feature of our June Re-unions.Alumnae BreakfastThe leading features of Alumni Day be-gin, as usuai, with the Alumnae Breakfast,Ida Noyes Hall, 11:30 A. M. Mrs.Phyllis Fay Horton, '15, 1229 E. 5Óth St.,is in charge of the Breakfast this year. Mrs.Max Mason will be the honor guest, andthe largest gathering of Alumnae in thehistory of this event is anticipated. Dur-ing the morning of Alumni Day ali return-ing Alumni are most cordially invited tovisit and inspect the new buildings in andaround the Quadrangles.1926 REUNION— WELCOME HOME! 32SThe Alumni CarnivalFor the afternoon of Alumni Day theCommittee has planned a "sure-enough"Alumni Carnival. Band Concert — BallGame — Circus Parade — Midway Derby —Amusement Booths — stunts of various kindshave been lined up for a regular carnivalprogram. In several of the events therewill be competition between the anniversaryclasses, and fitting prizes will be fìtted tothe winners.The Shanty Ceremonies will be the clos-ing feature of the stunts phase. This yearthe Class of 1906, observing its TwentiethAnniversary, will give the show and willbe initiated, by the Class of 1905, some-what "assisted" by 1904, into the Shantygroup. A real show has been threatened.The afternoon will be closed with abrief Alumni meeting, on the grounds. Atthis time President Max Mason will bepresented and will address the Alumni onthis, his first Reunion. For this reasonalone, if for no other, we want to see IdaNoyes Field crowded with Alumni onAlumni Day.The SingFollowing the Carnival there will beseveral informai dinners by the fraternities,classes, University Aides and other organi-zations. Cafeteria services will also beavailable for the women at Ida Noyes Halland for the men at Hutchinson Commons.The Sing, which requires no "press agent-ing," will start at 8:00 P. M. and will beconducted along its long famed traditionallines. Everything points to the biggest andbest Sing we have ever held.There are, no doubt, important objec-tions to holding the Sing on Alumni Day,instead of on the previous evening as inpast years. But the Committee, after someinvestigation, and consultation with anniversary class ofHcers, decided to give thisarrangement a full "try-out" this year. Itwas first attempted last year, but undercircumstances, the Committee felt, that didnot fully test out the desirability of such anarrangement. Many class ofHcers, also, inpast years have declared that class affairs(Please lurn to page 340) Reunion ProgramThirty-fifth AnniversaryThursday, June 106:00 p. m.

Rush Alumni Annual Dinner — Auditorium HotelRush Class Anniversaries, as arrangedWelcome Home!The University of Chicago as ariInternational InstitutionBy Charles W. GilkeyAddress delivered on the occasion of the One Hundred Thirty-ninth Convocation of the University, December 22, 1925.IN THE diplomatic world one under-stands that ministers who are return-ing from foreign coasts or from specialmissions abroad make their reports privatelyto the secretary of state or to the presidenthimself. In the world of the mind and ofthe spirit, however, there is, or at leastought to be, no secret diplomacy. Duringthe last year, I have had the high honor ofserving as a kind of academic ambassadorto the university centers of India, upon theBarrows Foundation that was intrusted,thirty years ago, to the University of Chicago to promote international understand-ing in things religious, and so I welcomethis opportunity to make a report to myhome government in this public assembly.I value my privilege the more because itcomes on the auspicious occasion of President Mason's first Convocation. He willbe among the first to understand, however,that for me personally there is one tragicIack in this situation. My appointment asBarrows Lecturer carne from Ernest D.Burton, and my lectures in India werecounseled by his wisdom and inspired by hisspirit. There was opportunity, between myreturn last Aprii and his sudden illness, foronly a brief personal statement : he neverreceived even so inadequate a report as thatwhich I shall make to you today. As Ispeak to you, therefore, I cannot help think-ing of him.My subject is not so much a propositionto be argued, or even a thesis to be main-tained, as an experience to be reported. Ishould like to teli you quite simply some-thing of the process by which the eyes of arepresentative of this University, who hap-pened already to be one of its Trustees,were gradually opened to the present actualfact that it is already in some degree aninternational institution. I should like alsoto share with you the evidence that I keptpicking up until hands and mind and heart were alike full of it, that this Universityhas an opportunity, and I believe a destiny,to become even more largely and truly aninternational institution.When we took ship at Port Said forIndia in November, 1924, I found awaitingme on board a brief personal note from thewell-known Indian who had consented toserve as chairman of the national committeeto make ali the locai arrangements for thelectures. Dr. S. K. Datta is perhaps themost eminent of Indian Christians. Heholds his medicai degree from Edinburghafter ten years of study in Great Britain;he has visited America at least once; he hasbeen from its beginning a member of theIndian Legislative Assembly, which corre-sponds to our national Congress. My notefrom Dr. Datta was brief and to the point.He said that when I landed in India I waslikely to find some prejudice against myfellow-countrymen, and against myself asan American ; that because he did not wantme to be too much surprised or hurt by ithe was giving me this warning in advance;and that when we met in India we wouldconsider how best to meet the situation.You will understand how seriously onewho found himself for the first time east ofSuez in the enigmatic Orient, and on themost important mission of his life, wouldtake so frank a warning. When Dr. Datta,with characteristic Indian courtesy and hos-pitality, carne ali the way to Bombay toconfer with me, I asked him early in ourconversation what lay behind his note. Hisreply was most illuminating. For the lasttwenty years he had been hearing it oftensaid in conversation with educated Indians,and during the last five years often statedupon the floor of the Legislative Assembly,that America has somehow "changed." Thedifferential elements between America andother Western Nations had once seemed toIndia to lie in such qualities as these: a real326THE UNIVERSITY AS AN INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTION 327love of freedom of thought and speech,leading directly to the spirit of toleranceand broad-mindedness ; an attitude of re-spect and good will toward other nationsand races. He went on to say that edu-cated Indians have the impression that theseformerly distinctive qualities of Americanlife are now somehow fading out. Ofcourse Americans themselves are not con-scious of this, and would no doubt indig-nantly deny it. But so Americans andAmerica have of late impressed India. Heconcluded by saying that if I would take itfor granted, as I spoke in Indian universitycenters, that this impression of my countrywas in the back of the heads of my educatedhearers, I could render a very real servicein India at just this time ; but that if I wereignorant of this impression, or ignored it,there would be real question as to howmuch I could accomplish. On this accounthe had made bold to teli me as a friend, andvery frankly, what it seemed to him mostimportant that I should know.Realizing that I had much food forthought in his frank and entirely friendlywords, I then asked him whether he hadany suggestion in so important a matter.His very signifìcant reply is my main rea-son for reporting this incident at suchlength. He said that if he were in my placehe would put, into the first fifteen minutesof the first lecture in every universitycenter, a special paragraph about the University of Chicago. He knew enough, hewent on, about America already to realizethat this University, which had sent me toIndia, is itself a living answer to the dis-torted impression of present-day Americathat is so widely abroad and so deeply feltin India. The University of Chicago stoodin his mind for the very things that educated India fears that America has ceasedto care very much about. If, therefore, Iwould teli my first audience in every centersomething about the University of Chicago,it would be worth an hour's argument, bothto me and to my mission.Following this wise counsel I wrote thatnew paragraph into the opening section ofmy first lecture. In this way I had thechance to teli many thousands of educated Rev. and Mrs. Gilkey (Geraldine Brown, '12)Embarking from Rangoon for Madras, February,1925.Indians something of the various ties whichhave linked this University with theOrient : of the Barrows lectures as a multi-plying bond, now of six strands, that hasfor thirty years been drawing us ever closerto India; of President Judson's connectionswith the Near East, and President Burton'slong and intimate acquaintance with China,which made him one of the conspicuousfriends and interpreters of China to theAmerican people ; of the introduction ofbaseball to Japan by a present member ofthe Chicago Faculty, and of the repeatedvisits of our baseball teams to Japan — inwhich I found the Indian students wereespecially interested. I always mentionedthe fact that in one recent year more thanfour hundred of our students proved to havebeen born outside the United States, comingto us from more than thirty countries.Meanwhile, the lecturer, no less than hisaudience, was being rapidly educated as tothe reality and the importance of the international relationships of this University. Ifound myself reflecting often on the curiousfact that a Chicagoan, who had gone to theOrient feeling himself a citizen of no meancity, should there be informed by an emin-ent Indian that the greatest asset Chicago328 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEpossesses in the Far East is not so much itsbusiness organizations, or even its big sta-tistics, as its University. The light thatshines brighest half-way round the worldthese days is the light of the mind and thespirit, streaming forth across troubledwaters from such an international beaconas the University of Chicago has alreadybecome.The influence of the University as aninternational institution comes not onlyfrom its general reputation and prestige eastof Suez, but from the number and import-ance of the positions which its former students hold in the Orient. It has been saidthat there are several well-nigh infalliblesigns by which one can always teli a Harvard man (even though, as the ancient gibegoes on, one cannot teli him much). A-mong these is, doubtless, his complacentconsciousness of the fact that across theAtlantic or the Pacific his own alma materis supposed to possess a pre-eminent, if not,indeed, an almost exclusive, prestige amongAmerican universities. Speaking for themoment as a Harvard man, however, Imust honestly report that east of Suez Iheard more, and saw more, of the influenceof the University of Chicago than of aliother American universities put together.The Madras Christian College, with itsnearly two thousand students (the largemajority of them non-Christian), its highScotch standards, and its long-establishedprestige, has for more than a generation setthe educational pace for ali South India.Among its prominent graduates is the pres-ent George V professor of philosophy atCalcutta University, Dr. Radhakrishnan,one of the thoroughly first-class minds thatit was my privilege to meet in India. Theonly American representative on the facultvof this strategie institution, at least as in-fluential in its councils and among its students as any of his colleagues, holds hisdoctor's degree from the University of Chicago, and was pleading to me for morefellowships to bring their best students herefor advanced work. Among the most in-fluential educational institutions in the progressive Punjab is Forman College, atLahore ; the new president of the Punjab Legislative Council (the most impressiveMuslim we met in India) is a graduate ofForman College. Among its youngerfaculty, of whose spirit and standing anycollege in the world might well be proud,two men had recently studied at the University of Chicago, and a third was working here while we were in India. At JudsonCollege, in Rangoon, a pioneer in highereducation for ali Burma, at least four ofthe faculty are Chicago men. When Ioffered to teli one of them about our De-velopment Campaign, his quick answer wasthat they had ali the literature already, andwere as keen about it as the Alumni athome.There are so many of us here at theUniversity, and we are ali so pre-occupiedwith our special tasks, that we hardly real-ize the international significance of the factthat so many missionaries, and especially somany missionary teachers, are coming herefor further training — more, perhaps, thanto any other American institution of learn-ing. But when one goes to the Orient, andfinds these same men and women holdinghigh the intellectual and spiritual torch forwhole provinces, and sometimes for entirenations, one returns with the convictionthat this University, even beyond its ownpresent realization, has become a beacon forthe whole world.Nor is this international influence andprestige limited to missionary education.In many ways the most interesting and pro-phetic institution we visited was the newMuslim university at Aligarh, unique inIndia by reason of its residential character,and therefore much more like our Americancolleges. Though of recent foundation, ithas already brought nearly 2,000 studentsunder the continuous influence of an atmos-phere far more progressive and broadlyaggressive than that of such Muslim institutions as the university in Cairo, whichsome of you may have visited. I had thehonor of speaking at a convocation there toan audience of faculty and students thatappeared, from the platform, like an archi-pelago of red fezzes. On a later tour ofthe buildings I was introduced to the Indianprofessor of physics, and asked him whetherTHE UNIVERSITY AS AN INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTION 329he knew the name of my neighbor, Professor Michelson. "Why," he replied, witha stirile for my provinciality, "we have oneof his interferometers right here in our ownlaboratory, and it is working finely." Attea that same afternoon, the pro-vice-chan-cellor — by general consent one of the ablesteducators in the Muslim world— told methat one of his fondest hopes was thearrangement of an exchange by which someman trained in our physics and chemistrymight come to Aligarh for two or threeyears to teach, while one of their best mencomes to us to interpret Muslim civilizationand religion — about which, as a matter offact, we know much less than they knowabout our science. The fortunate man whogoes on that exchange would have one ofthe best opportunities in the world today,not only to teach and himself to learn, butto shape the international future.With this international influence of theUniversity of Chicago there go inevitablycertain international responsibilities. Per-haps I might equally well describe them asdifficulties. There, too, my own experi-ences may serve as evidence of the problemswe face in seeking to be an internationalinstitution under the present circumstancesof the world and the present state of mindof our own country.While I was giving the lectures in Madras last winter, the secretary of the YoungMen's Christian Association there asked meif I wanted to know what Indians in America were up against. He then went on tosay that while he was taking his Master'sdegree recently at the University of Chicago, an Indian student here carne to himto report that he could not get his hair cutin this neighborhood. When the secretaryexpressed his surprise and incredulity, theIndian student promptly asked for his help.They went together to several barber shopsand were refused at every one. The ex-perience finally became so humiliating toboth alike that they gave it up as a bad job,and the secretary told me that the onlything he could do as they separated was totry to apologize for his own country. Sincemy own return from India I have foundthat one of the best-poised and most patient Indian students who ever carne here forgraduate work sat in one of our locairestaurants unserved until it became ali tooplain that they would never give him foodthere. Worse yet, an Indian young woman¦who carne here to prepare herself for medicai missionary work in South India (her an-cestors there were Syrian Christians whileour Nordic forebears were stili pagans inthe European forests) was not even ac-corded the doubtful courtesy of silence andinattention. She told me herself that whenshe went to one of our locai restaurantslast spring she was unceremoniously told toget out. It need not surprise us, therefore,that a third Indian student, who has beendoing advanced work in another Chicagoinstitution for two or three years, told mesoon after my return that he hoped I hadadvised students in India who wanted tocome to America for further study not todo so "unless their skins were so white thatno American could teli the difference." Tosay the very least, these are real difficultiesfor a university that wants to be an international institution.If these facts seem difficult to us whenwe learn of them, can we, perhaps, guesshow they seem when one finds, in talkingwith educated Indians, that they are farmore generally known and deeply felt there,where they are widely reported, than here,where they happen ? An Oxford man whohas taught for fifteen years in Madras toldme always to remember in speaking to Indian students that they tend to think of America chiefly as "a country where they lynchNegroes and insult Indians." We Americans take our race problem for granted, asdifficult facts that are simply here; havingno panacea and ali too little program fordealing with them — as I, certainly, havenone — we find it convenient to forget orignore them, and go our ways with littleconcern about them. But an Americanwho stays long enough in India these daysto find what the Orient is really thinkingabout comes home unable any longer to takethese matters lightly. The sensitivenessand pride of the Indians who have come tostudy or to visit here are like a mirror heldup to our American race problems and33° THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEprejudices for ali the rest of the world, andespecially for the Orient, to look into.That mirror is doubly sensitive and reveal-ing: not only because the Indian finds outin his own person how America treats thedark races in her midst, but also becausemost Indian visitors to our shores aremembers of our own Aryan stock and race— a fact which probably 95 per cent ofAmericans do not know. Their experi-ences among us are therefore doubly bitter,because they spring not only from Americanrace prejudice, but from American ignor-ance. Those of us who have been muchwith India students have discovered thatthe turban, which they usually wear in thiscountry, is not worn from choice or habit,but in self-protection. Their hope, toooften vain, is that it will identify them. asIndians. And much too often it becomesnot simply a badge of nationality, but ascar of wounded pride.But even these are not the only difficulties of an American university that wouldlike to be an international institution.When I found, in scores of conversations inIndia, how true and timely were the warn-ings of Dr. Datta and the Oxford man inMadras ; when I found, too, what ourrecent immigration legislation — of whichI have not time to speak today, nor you,perhaps, the heart to hear — has done to ourmoral prestige in India as well as in Japan,I prepared a new address on "The Idealsof the Younger Generations in America."I have smiled often to myself, as you doubt-less will, at the presumption of that title.Who can speak confidently or with author-ity on that theme? But it did seem important to try to answer the question I meteverywhere among Indian students: "Whatare American students chiefly thinking orcaring about these days?" And I becameincreasingly sure in India that our own besthope as we face these great problems liesin the frankness and the courage withwhich our younger generation is facing thefacts of life. I gave that address in perhapsa dozen Indian colleges, to some 15,000students and teachers. Shortly after I hadgiven it at the Islamia College, in Lahore, adeputation of its students in red fezzes called on me at my room. One of theirteachers, they said, had studied for threeyears in a Chicago professional school, andtold them after the address that what I hadsaid was not typical of American studentsas he had seen them. He had thought them"self-centered and immoral." I wonderwhat answer you would have made to thatdeputation under those circumstances!There are about 10,000 foreign studentsin America ; some hundreds of them in Chicago ; many scores of them on our owncampus. Most of them come from theOrient. The relations between the Occi-dent and the Orient are certainly not theleast of the world's great unsolved problemsof the future ; possibly they may even proveits most criticai problem. Among thecrowding thousands in our larger Americanuniversities, these foreign students seem sofew that most of us hardly notice them ;that, indeed, is in itself part of the problem,for any institution that would be trulyinternational. But neither do you or Inotice particularly that little radio dischanging yonder in this hall. If wewere broadcasting today, however, and ifpeople outside were interested in this occasion, much the most important part of theaudience would be the invisible listenerswhose inconspicuous link with us is thatlittle disc. The foreign students among usare very much like that disc — inconspicuous, but very sensitive and responsive. Thepeoples of the Far East are much moreinterested than we realize in their reportof their experiences among us. And thoseof us who have been recently in the university centers of the Orient have discoveredwith our own ears that there is a loudspeaker at the receiving end !Ali this makes it plain that the Universityof Chicago as an international institution,as in ali other phases of its life, has beforeit a task, or rather an ideal, stili to beachieved. In this presence it is hardlynecessary to point out that a true universityis much more than a collection of buildings,or even a company of people. Its distinc-tive inner bond, as our own university sealwell indicates, is a common attitude thatseeks the enlargement of knowledge and theTHE UNIVERSITY AS AN INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTION 33tenrichment of life. A university can onlybe truly international, therefore, in propor-tion as it maintains and promotes an international outlook and attitude. The truesttest of its internationalism will lie not onlyin the wide diffusion of its students andgraduates, but also in the comprehensive-ness of its own attitudes. dents, for instance, and the comparativeindifference of our American students to alithese things. I carried to the Orient mes-sages of greeting intrusted to me by twoAmerican student conferences for theirfellow-students of other countries, andquickly discovered, east of Suez, that thesegreetings were more valuable to me, andAt Hindu Temple, Conjeevaram, IndiaMr. and Mrs. Gillcey, decorated with leis, in the center. A. S. Woodburne,D. B. '17, Ph.D. '18, at right center. Note the Indian band on the left,and the fakir (holy man) sitting in front of Mrs. Gilkey. The Gilkeys werewelcomed here, as elsewhere in India, with special ceremonies.One of the most striking coritrasts between the students of America and thoseof other lands arises at just this point. Amember of an Oxford debating team thathas recently visited widely among Americancolleges remarked on his return that publicaffaire and problems were a main subject ofinterest and discussion among British students, but that he found them hardly men-tioned among American students. Thiscontrast is equally marked when one goesfrom an American university to the studentcenters of the Near and Far East, wherethe students bring into intense focus thenational and international interests and attitudes of their country and generation.One feels keenly the difference between thestrong nationalism and marked international curiosity of Egyptian or Indian stu more eagerly welcomed by my audiences,than almost anything else I brought. Inever began an address of any sort toIndian students without referring to thesemessages in my first sentence ; for I foundthem more valuable than any other pointof contact with my audience — so eager isthe younger generation in the Orient forunderstanding and co-operation with itscontemporaries in the West.There must be many contributory causesfor our American indifference in thesematters. I have often wondered, however,whether there is possibly a wider referencein Dr. Datta's remark to me when I re-ported to him my impression that the students of Ceylon were less interested inpublic questions than those of India: "Oh,(Please tinn to page 346)A Tribute to Scientists and the UniversityFrom the address of Frederick H. Rawson, donor of The Rawson Laboratory, delivered at thededication of the Laboratory, December 17, 1925.IN MY business, that of banking, oneis constantly impressed with the neces-sity of commercial organizations main-taining a skilled staff of research workersin order that they may have the benefitof new discoveries and inventions, for other-wise they run a good chance of findingthemselves surpassed by some competitorwho has had more foresight. There is nota line of commercial endeavor that has notbeen vastly benefited by scientific investiga-tion. Scarcely a day or a week goes by thatthe press does not advise us of the discoveryof some new synthetic or substitute fornaturai materials. This is true of food-stuffs, rubber, cement, the making of silk,that new substitute for silk called Rayon,and the marvelous dyes made from coal-tarproducts which are far superior to thenaturai dyes our grandfathers used.From this wonderful band of men carnethe telegraph, the telephone as we used toknow it for short distances, and then long-distance telephony due to the invention ofthe marvelous vacuum tube through thegenius of DeForest, Pupin, and others.Then Marconi and others applied the samevacuum tube to the wireless telegraph ; thiswas ancestor of the radio, without whichno home is now complete.Possibly no field of research work hasdone more for civilization than has chem-istry. In the late war the chemist playeda very important part not only in devisingmarvelous explosives, but also in sustaininglife through the substitution of syntheticfertilization, which had to be used in somecountries by reason of their inability to procure the naturai fertilizer.The wonderful research laboratoriesof the General Electric, the AmericanTelephone and Telegraph, and the Eastman Kodak companies probably havedone more for the advancement of applied science than ali other industries com-bined. Most of the gentlemen here aremore familiar than I am with what the General Electric workers have done forsurgery and medicine in their invention ofX-ray devices, their perfection of the quartzlamp, and other medicai appliances.In other fields research workers arespending their lives, patiently and tirelessly,striving to discover the causes of disease andthe serums and other antidotes with whichto combat them.It frequently happens that the workersengaged in industriai laboratories discoversomething of immense value to the medicaiprofession, and the opposite is equally true,that those working along the lines of puremedicine stumble on to something of equalvalue to the industriai world. So it doesnot make much difference whether thesemen are working in colleges or hospitalsor in the great industriai laboratories, forwhatever any of them discover, it is placedat the disposai of the world as soon as it isperfected.It has been estimated by Dr. ArthurLyttle that this band of expounders, workers, experimenters, and analysts, whom hecalls the Fifth Estate, does not exceed ahundred or one hundred and twenty-five-thousand people. It is to this group ofquiet, self-sacrificing men and women, working often in cramped quarters and withoutproper facilities, without expectancy offame or great financial reward, that theworld owes its advancement step by stepfrom the time of Newton, on down throughHuxley, Pasteur, the Curies, Faraday,Edison, Marconi, Jenner, Behren, Ehrlich,Widal, and Banting, to the splendid menof our own University, whose staff includessuch as Michelson, Millikan, Luckhardt,Dick, and countless others.The discoveries and inventions of thesemen and their co-workers have brought usthe comforts of home, lessened disease, andreduced the cost of production so that hun-dreds of articles which a few years ago wereregarded as priceless luxuries are now with-in the reach of evervone. They have in-332A TRIBUTE TO SCIENTISTSAt Dedication of Rawson LaboratoryLeft: to right: Dr. Hektoen, Dean Irons, Dr. Carlson, Rev. Soares, Mr.Rawson, Mr. Swift, Mr. Billings, President Mason, President Scott, Northwestern, Dr. Shaw, Presbyterian Hospital.creased the yield of crops, discovered thebenefit and use of vitamines, and given usan insight into scientific food yalues.In making a donation, I think the donoris faced with much the same problem asin making a financial investment. Myexperience has taught me that it is farsafer to invest in the securities of a largecorporation which has been in existence asufficient length of time to prove its abilitythan in a smaller one recently organized.The reasons for this are obvious. Thelarger organization, if it has succeeded atali, has developed its physical equipment toa high point of perfection, and what is farmore important than the physical side, thecharacter and ability of the management.The large manufacturing companies, thelarge railroads, and the large banks alwayshave sufficient prestige to command menof the highest ability to manage them. Thechanges in their directorates are not fre-quent or radicai, and the new blood comingin from time to time is carefully and wiselyselected. It is readily seen that suchagencies have a much easier time in gettingthe proper kind of men to manage themthan the smaller and unknown companies.To my mind the same thing is equallytrue, if not more so, of colleges, hospitals,and ali other human welfare agencies. An invitation to become a trustee of a greatfoundation or university is considered amark of distinction and would not .be re-fused without most careful considerationand urgent reasons. There is some honorattached to being a director of one of ourlarge corporations, railroads, or banks, butfar more in being chosen on the Board ofsuch institutions as I have just mentioned,organized and maintained without profitand solely for the advancement of civiliza-tion, the alleviation of suffering, and pro-longation of life.It is estimated that it takes about $500,-000 to equip even one research workerproperly. Such a sum is beyond the meansof most of us. For this and other reasons,it seems to me far wiser for the averageperson to make his contribution to the bestagency of the kind desired already in existence, with every expectancy that themoney so given will be wisely and judicious-ly expended for the uses and purposes in-tended.When one of our captains of industrypasses away, he cannot take his wealth withhim ; and, in a large number of cases, avery considerable part of his wealth is con-sequently devoted to the benefit of futuregenerations. It is becoming more and moregenerally recognized that the possession of334 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEa large fortune is in reality a great responsi-bility, and the owner of it is only a trustee.If Mr. Rockefeller and Mr. Carnegie hadbeen compelled to divide their wealthequally with everyone it would have donelittle good and their great foundations, thebenefits of which have already extendedeverywhere, would never have existed.Almost ten years have elapsed since theerection of this laboratory was decided upon.Immediately thereafter, we were involvedin the world-war, which, of course, compelled the postponement of the medicai uniton the Midway as well as this laboratoryuntil the present time. It is a source ofgreat satisfaction for us to find here todaythat the same reasons which prompted Dr.Billings to suggest this research laboratoryare even more compelling and obvious thanthey were at that time, and that this laboratory is destined to be even more usefulthan it was first supposed it would be.My father carne here to Chicago a poorboy from a Massachusetts farm and livedhere ali his business life. I was born hereand likewise have always made this myhome. I received from my father the price-less heritage of a good education and a finebusiness training. Both my father and Ihave received many advantages from Chicago and it is only right that we should do,as best we can, something in return for theblessings received. I have seen Chicagogrow from a provincial town to a greatcosmopolitan city. Chicago is consideredby thoughtful New Yorkers and others asthe great listening post of the United States,where one is able to get better than any-where else the pulse of the nation.I have in my short life seen this University grow as if by magic. I remember itsinception, and have seen ali of its buildingsas they were erected. A few evenings ago,at a meeting of some of us interested in itsdevelopment, I sat spellbound listening tothe story of the University 's past as told byMr. Swift, Chairman of the Board ofTrustees; and of its future aims and pur-poses as told by your President, Mr. Mason.I have known ali the presidents of thisUniversity, and remember as, if it wereyesterday the wonderful inspiration of Dr. Harper. I have seen the University roundout, come into early maturity, and squareits budget under the direction of the carefulDr. Judson. I held many conferences aboutthis laboratory with the beloved and far-visioned Dr. Burton, and learned to admireand respect him. When he passed away Ifelt a keen sense of isolation and regret inthe thought that I should probably neveragain know another of the University'spresidents as well as I had known those whohad gone before. But even during President Mason's short incumbency, I have beenfortunate in having the opportunity ofknowing him and of thus realizing how wisethe Trustees were in the selection of thisman whom ali Chicago has learned to trust.I am confident that under your new Presidente guidance, this University is going tomeasure up to its finest traditions, and thatit will continue to be truly representative ofChicago and the great Middle West. TheUniversity will continue under his leadership to point the way and light the pathto moral, intellectual, and civic advancement, and will rightly continue to be fondlyknown as the brilliant and favorite daughterof her cosmopolitan mother, Chicago.Now I have tried to give you briefly someof the reasons which prompted this gift. Icongratulate the Presbyterian Hospital onhaving this laboratory adjacent to it andworking in co-operation with it for ali timeunder the management and direction ofthe University. I congratulate the Alumniand staff of Rush Medicai College for theirsplendid vision and judgment in embracingthe opportunity to be a part of the University. I know it must be a source ofgenuine satisfaction to them to realize thatthey are now a very important part of thisgreat University which will for ali time beable to afford them means and facilities,second to none, for the advancement of theirendeavors. I congratulate the Universityupon having acquired Rush Medicai College and the Presbyterian Hospital as working partners. Mrs. Rawson and I rejoicewith you today in the completion of thisbuilding, and have every hope and confi-dence that it will fulfil a hundred times overevery wish and prediction made for it.Itye Untòergttp of Chicago 4lap?me iììEditor and Business Manager, Adolph G.

They fullydeserve your heartiest cooperation — andyour presence ! The University invites you— calls you ! Everything is set, we repeat,for a "real celebration," for you. Comeback ! Welcome Home !ALUMNI associations, as we know them,>¦ are peculiarly characteristic of American institutions, and particularly of uni-„ versities and colleges in theP United States. They are, inlarge measure, an outgrowth ofour democratic system of education, and arefostered by a spirit of appreciation of special advantages obtained through highereducation. This spirit has long been mani-fest, not only in extensive organization, reunion and similar activities, and the custom-ary maintenance of an officiai Alumnipublication, but in various forms of con-structive contribution toward the upbuild-ing and advancement of the institutionsthemselves. Whatever minor difficulties may have been encountered, occasionally,under this national characteristic, the "system" on the whole has proven of manydecided and timely advantages to the colleges and universities of America.Because of somewhat different origin,background and conditions, the graduatesand former students of European universities have never organized as have Alumniin this country. It is somewhat typicallyAmerican that, at Oxford, the only association of graduates comparable in organization and purpose is that of Americans whowere Rhoades scholars at Oxford. Invery recent years, however, some of theEuropean institutions, finding themselvesnow in unusually difficult circum-stances, have been inquiring concerning theAmerican form and method of Alumniassociation, and there is a prospect, perhaps,that such activity may be adopted in somecases in Europe.At the University of Edinburgh an Alumni Association has just recently been estab-lished, to some extent on the Americanpian. The University of Edinburgh Journal is its officiai publication, having, as itspurpose, quite the same material and func-tion as our own Magazine and the similarpublications of American alumni assocations.We wish these newcomers in the field thebest of success. It is interesting for us torealize, however, that this movement isbeing studied and is even now beginningin Europe. It is in some degree an impar-tial justification, if justification wereneeded, of the methods, efforts and generalaims of our American alumni activities.335ALUMNIMOVING PlCTURES FOR ALUMNI ClUBSThe University has now acquired a special moving picture machine which can beconveniently sent around to our AlumniClubs for use at their meetings.

It merely requires to be set up in aroom, small or large, having an electricalconnection, and the pictures can be showneither on a sheet or any reasonably sizedwhite wall. A small film is used with thismachine, and pictures of more recent University events have already been taken andare available for use. The machine wasfirst used at a meeting of our SpringfieldAlumni Club, where it worked successfullyand where the Alumni greatly enjoyed theUniversity scenes. It is the pian to havethese special University films made eachyear and sent to the Alumni Clubs onsome arranged schedule. Officers of ourAlumni Clubs can learn details and ar-range dates for Club showings through theAlumni Office.« » «Cleveland Club Hears Dr. GoodeOn March 16, 1926, the ClevelandAlumni Association held a dinner in honorof Dr. Goode, our warm friend from theUniversity. His visits are always antici-pated with great pleasure.He not only flattered us by telling aboutthe possibilities of our great city, but alsocalled to our minds the naturai and archi-tectural beauty of the University of Chicago.Later he lectured on "Japanese Industries and Art," illustrating his lecture withexquisitely tinted slides. While he madeus appreciate what the Japanese have donewith such limited space, he caused us tofeel the need of reclaiming the abandonedland in our own country.The meeting closed in wishing Dr. Goodemany more visits to our city.Lola Blaxche Lowther, '15, AFFAI R SPresident and Mrs. Mason withLos Angeles AlumniTHE meeting of Los Angeles Alumniof the University of Chicago withPresident and Mrs. Max Mason, on March9, was a most successful and happy occasion for ali of us. Eighty-six Alumni werepresent. Dr. Olds presided and called onDr. McCann, new President of the RushAlumni Association, Don Riley, and Dr.E. C. Moore of the University of California, Southern Branch.When President Mason was introducedevery one arose and the applause lastedseveral minutes. He seemed quite affectedwith this enthusiastic reception. Ali listen-ed intently at his message, which seemed tous the best we have had yet — perhaps heappealed to our emotions a little more thanany other speaker has. He made us seeand feel the immensity of the work the University is doing and plans to do, and justwhy she should be looked upon with prideby ali of her sons and daughters.Ali of the Alumni were charmed and de-lighted with President and Mrs. Mason,and with the Presidente corking good talkeverybody went home happy in the knowl-edge that the University of Chicago hasa wonderful man at the helm.With best wishes, Fred Speik.« « ÀManhattan Alumni MeetDean MathewsOn Monday evening Aprii 12, a dinnerwas given by the Manhattan, Kansas,Alumni Club of the University of Chicago,in honor of Dean Shailer Mathews of theDivinity School, who was in Manhattanto give a lecture.

Inconnection with the Alumni Fund, afterconsiderable favorable discussion, a motionwas passed authorizing the Alumni Funddirectors to reinvest such Fund amountsas are now invested in U. S. Liberty bondsin other bonds yielding a somewhat largerincome and legai under the Trust Fundlaws of Illinois, in accordance with theArticles governing the Alumni Fund.Ernest E. Quantrell, '05, New York City,was elected to fili a vacancy on the Boardof Directors of the Fund.In connection with Alumni Associationmembership, it was the opinion of the Council that an extensive effort should be madein the near future for increasing our mem-berships. According to recent records Chicago now ranks about I2th, among some62 alumni associations throughout thecountry, in number of members. TheCouncil felt that the time was near inwhich Chicago should seek to reach firstrank in membership strength. Advertisingpolicy was again discussed at some length,but no new action was taken.The Council heartily approved the 1926Reunion program, as presented by Reunion Chairman Harry R. Swanson, '17, and asprepared accordingly for the regular an-nouncements. As to our Reunions, it wasgenerally felt that some University feature,such as a notable lecture to be given spe-cially for returning Alumni, should beadded to our traditional program, and aresolution to that effect was passed. Mrs.Schuyler B. Terry (Phoebe Bell, '08) presented a pian for having Alumni prize-playcontests as an annual reunion feature. Thispian contemplated having plays written andacted by Alumni, with awarding of theprize according to the vote of the Alumniaudience. The pian was taken up by theCouncil, to be considered in connection withfuture Reunions.Chairman Hostetter told of the progressbeing made in the matter of developmentof University-Alumni relations, a reporton which is now approaching comple-tion. A letter from Mr. J. Spencer Dicker-son, Secretary of the Board of Trustees,advised that a special committee of theTrustees had been appointed to considersuch relationships with the special committee of the Council.Chairman Herbert P. Zimmermann re-ported on the Alumni Campaign, indicatingthat the Alumni quota of $2,000,000 wouldvery probably be raised by the time of theJune Convocation.The resignation of A. G. Pierrot asAlumni Secretary and Editor, to take effectat the end of the present year, was presented. Mr. Pierrot particularly desiredthat the entire matter of University-Alumnirelations and the Secretaryship as connectedtherewith should be approached withoutany personal element of any kind being in-volved in the deliberations and plans adopt-ed. A special committee was appointed toconsider the secretary phase of this development.Chairman Hostetter was empowered toappoint a Fall Home coming chairman be-fore the July meeting of the Council.

There were thirty-fourAlumni in attendance. President HarveyM. Solenberger, '02, presided, and MissLucy Williams, '17, Secretary, managedthe details of the meeting.Alumni Secretary A. G. Pierrot was thespeaker of the occasion and told of President Mason, of the building constructionnow in progress at the University, of theprogress of the Development Campaign,and emphasized the growing importanceof the co-operating relationships betweenthe Alumni and the University. He fol-lowed his talk with an exhibition ofmoving pictures of the University, in whichthe new machine which had been obtainedfor club uses, was used for the first time.The pictures were greatly enjoyed by theClub and a rising vote of thanks was givento Mr. Pierrot for his appearance at themeeting and the presentation of the pictures.In the business session of the meeting,the officers of the Club were unanimouslyre-elected. The Club voted to purchasetwo 1926 Cap and Gowns to be presented(Please turn to page 369) The 1926 Reunion(Conlinued from page 325)at our Reunions could not be well developedbecause there was no time on the programwhich permitted any important class func-tions to be planned and carried out. Theclasses now have Friday night entirely forclass functions, under the program as an-nounced, while the general Alumni eventswill be concentrated on the one "Big Day,"Alumni Day, culminating with the alwaysimpressive Sing.Association ReunionsThe Law School, Doctors of Philosophyand Rush Medicai associations will holdtheir annual Reunion events as announcedon the Alumni Week program. The annual Luncheon of Doctors of Philosophywill be held on Monday, June 14, whilethe Law and Rush Medicai associationswill hold their big events on Tuesday, June15, following Convocation. In connectionwith the Rush and the Law gatherings anumber of class anniversary meetings willtake place.Rush Alumni ClinicsOne of the most interesting features ofthe general Reunion is the Rush AlumniClinics started this year. Details on theseClinics have appeared in the Rush sectionof the Magazine. No finer way of bring-ing the Rush Alumni in direct touch withthe latest work and progress in medicineand surgery as developed at the Universitycould have been adopted, and this feature,the forerunner of many somewhat similarcontacts between the University and theAlumni in future, gives promise of notablesuccess. Ali Rush Alumni are most cordial-ly invited to attend any or ali of these special Clinics.Welcome Home!This is your Reunion. The Universityinvites you to return. The program hasbeen prepared for you. The Committee,the class and association officers, and othersin charge of events have done their share —yes, more than their share — to enable youto renew ties with the "City Gray." Makeplans now to attend this 35th AnniversaryReunion. Welcome Home!C THE LETTER BOX 1An Interesting NoteThe University of Chicago,Office of the Recorder.Editor,Alumni Magazine.I find among my miscellaneous items thefollowing memorandum which I made inJune, 1925. It may be of interest for thecolumns of the Magazine :"At the time when President Burtonentered upon the work of the President'soffice, (in 1923), there were on thefaculty thirteen persons who had been students in the University during the firstyear, 1892-93. Besides these, thirty suchstudents had been on the faculty in previousyears. This totals forty-three, of the students during the first year, who becamemembers of the faculty of the University."Yours sincerely,Frederic J. Gurney., '83,Assistant Recorder.A « «Praises U. of C.

I have heroically resisted for eight-een years the temptation to burst into printin comment on advertising, regardless ofthe provocation, but I cannot refrain fromwriting you personally to say how much Ienjoy the monthly page in the U. of C.Magazine from the anonymous "advertisingmanager of the University of ChicagoPress."The whole conception of this series, andits delightful change of pace, makes itunique among the book advertising I haveseen, and it is the first thing I turn to ineach issue.

The increase is to takeeffect on July ist. This announcement wasrecently made on the Quadrangles. Weprint below the opinion of an undergradu-ate in a letter to the Daily Maroon :"As an undergraduate, I feel that the author-ities are entirely justified in raising the tuition,although it raises a serious problem for mepersonally, as one of the many students whowork their way through. The Chicago studentnever has paid, and will not, even with theincreased tuition, pay more than 50 per centof the cost of his college education. Further-more, how great a per cent of the sum, varyingfrom $900 to $1,500 and more, which is spentby an undergraduate during the year, is the$45 extra, which will mean so much to theUniversity in increasing its facilities to takecare of the ever-increasing demand for highereducation?"34'Recent Notable Library AcquisitionsAMONG the many notable acquisitions-i*.of books and manuscripts recently received by the University Library the fol-lowing may be mentioned :i. An important work on ComparativeAnatomy, being the second part of "TheElephant's Head," Copenhagen, 1925, presented by the authors, Professor J. E. V.Boas and Professor S. Poulli, who in 1922presented the first part of the same work.2. An unusually fine copy of the greatGerman Bible printed at Zurich by DavidGessner, in 1690 and 1691. It is a largefolio, the Old Testament covering 848pages, being printed in 1691, the Apo-crypha, 199 pages, and the New Testament,268 pages, in 1690. The book was presented to the Library by Miss Lillie Ober-man Hoerr of Chicago in January, 1926.3. Two other famous Bibles, the Bishop'sBible of 1568, and the first Danish Bible of1550, are also to be added to the large col-lection of Bibles already in the possession ofthe University, some of the choicest speci-Ynens of which are here as a result of theAmerican Bible Union and PengstenbergCollections which with the Berlin Purchaseconstituted the chief book resources of theUniversity when it opened its doors in1892.4. The Wandel Collection of 68 vol-umes containing specimens of early writingon vellum, some of them dating back tothe eleventh century, forms a part of themanuscripts now being purchased on thefund presented to the University by MissShirley Farr of the Class of 1904.5. Another recent acquisition of greatimportance for students of Modem His-tory and Politics are the 255 volumes ofthe German Reichstag Verhandlungen, covering the period 1869-19 18. The Libraryhopes to supplement this valuable acquisition by extensive additions to its files of the Legislative Debates and Proceedings,particularly of southern and western States.With the opening of the new TheologyBuilding and the additional space for booksto be provided in the New Medicai Build-ings, and in Wieboldt Hall, the next yearor two should witness considerable improve-ment in the housing facilities for the manyimportant collections of books and manuscripts now being added to the University.« » «Dean Albion W.

Thegift is announced in a letter to PresidentMax Mason by Miss Harriet F. Holmes,daughter of the donor, who has been as-sociated with Miss Slye in her cancer research for about sixteen years. MissHolmes is a resident of Batavia, 111.The four children of the donor will havea life interest in the fund, and when thatinterest ceases the $100,000 will revert tothe University for the establishment of theEdwin F. Holmes Fund for Medicai Research, the letter states.Miss Slye states that Miss HarrietHolmes has for sixteen years made a gen-erous and valuable gift of her time andtalent as a technician in such importantwork as preparing slides of tissues formicroscopie study. Miss Slye recently announced the results of these tests, madeupon 16,000 cancerous mice, stating thatsusceptibility to cancer in mice is inherit-able, that it affeets these animals in muchthe same manner as men, and that theexperiments tend to discount the germtheory of cancer. She concluded that twofactors which produce cancer are congenitalsusceptibility and irritation of the rightkind ih the susceptible tissues, and thatavoiding chronic irritation in these tissueswill do much to prevent cancer.Miss Slye indicated that the Holmes giftwill greatly facilitate the cancer researchwork of the University, and expressedgratitude to the donor, and to his daughterfor her services.» & àFirst Fruits of University of ChicagoExcavations at ArmageddonTHE accidental finding of the fragmentof an important stone monument in theMound of Megiddo (Armageddon), Palestine, by Egyptian workmen in search ofbuilding stone, is thus described by Di rector James H. Breasted, who has recentlyvisited the excavations:"While searching for ordinary buildingstone the native foreman noticed Egyptianhieroglyphics on one side of a certain piece.The piece was put aside, and when I ar-rived and we were able to decipher the al-most illegible signs we found that fortunehad favored us by preserving just that par-ticular little section of King Shishak'smonument which bore his name."The whole monument must have beenten feet high, nearly five wide, and t'wentyinches thick, according to Director Breasted,and commemorates the capture by the Egyptian king, Shishak, in the tenth centurybefore Christ of Armageddon as well asJerusalem. Although Armageddon ap-pears in the list of conquered cities placedby King Shishak on the walls of the tempieof Karnak at Luxor, Egypt, this is the firstactual proof of his having captured it."Should the entire monument be found,piece meal," Director Breasted said, "itmaybe that we shall recover the Egyptian ver-sion of the capture of Jerusalem in thetenth century, b.c., as narrated in the OldTestamerit."The University of Chicago expeditionheadquarters at Megiddo have been com-pleted, and on Aprii 15 three hundred Arablaborers under the direction of Dr. ClarenceFisher began active digging on the mound,which comprises some thirteen acres.« À «One Hundred Fellowships AwardedOFFICI AL announcement is made ofthe award of more than one hundredfellowships in thirty-one departments at theUniversity of Chicago for the year 1926-27.Over sixty different institutions are rep-resented in the award, including, outsideof the United States, the universities ofManitoba, Toronto, British Columbia,Queen's University, and McMaster University in Canada ; the University of Prague,the University of Wien, Austria, and Oxford University, England.Of those appointed to fellowships, morethan half have already received the Mas-ter's degree.UNIVERSITY NOTES— RADIO PROGRAM 34New Business ManagerMR.

Breasted,of the University's Orientai Institute inphotographing and translating the rapidlydisappearing inscriptions on the tombs andtemples of the Egyptian kings.Mr. Charles Coit has given to the University of Chicago the sum of $500 to beknown as "The Clara M.

He attributes "alarge measure of the success of last year'swork on Mount Wilson to the magnificentarc-light which Mr. Sperry loaned forthe purpose." Mr. Sperry has also donatedtwo special revolving mirrors.» « «The University as an InternationalInstitution(Continued from page 331)they are too prosperous over there tothink!"In any case, it is plain that in international affairs, as elsewhere, educationconsists not only in the discovery and dis- semination of facts, but in the cultivation ofattitudes. A truly international institution— as our own Harris Foundation wiselyrecognizes — will not only investigate factsabout other countries, but will seek to promote the international mind and the attitudes that best express it. An Indian nowresident in London, for many years hasknown intimately hundreds of the Indianstudents who gather there, remarked to me,on my way home through London, that wehave by no means yet solved the problemsinvolved in the increasing movement of students to other lands for study abroad. Ifthey return to their own country morecriticai of other nations and cultures andless disposed to co-operate with them, because of their own experience abroad, theyhave become an international liability,rather than an asset, in a world so smallas our world has suddenly come to be. Inali frankness and friendliness, let us aliremember that both those who come fromother lands to study among us, and we, noless, who know so little about them andtheir background, have alike to learn thatinternationalism of attitude and spiritwhich is so easy to recognize and so hardto achieve. It is that attitude and spiritwhich alone can make any university in-wardly international.Therein lay the sharp point of the mes-sage to America given me the day before Ileft India by one of the most eminent ofliving Indians, Mr. K. Natarajan, the far-seeing editor of the Indian Social Reformer.You have brought us greetings and a mes-sage from America. We have been interestedand grateful for them, and you have had anunusual hearing in our country. I should likenow, if I may, to give you, as you return, amessage to your fellow-countrymen. Please telithem if they would like to do something tomake the relations between America and Indiarelations of better understanding and warmercordiality, they don't need to come out here toIndia to do anything at ali, if only they willshow more of the spirit of Jesus at home.The barb in that message is that it wasgiven by a liberal Hindu to a Christian min-ister, who had been sent out by the University of Chicago to interpret the Christianreligion to the scholarly and thoughtfulpeople of India.Gift For Contagious Diseases HospitalTHE University of Chicago will re-ceive $500,000 for the construction ofa hospital for the treatment of contagiousdiseases as the result of an agreement between officials of the University and trustees, Mr. Clarence A. Burley and Mr.Laird Bell, under the will of the lateMrs. Harriet G. Smith. According to theterms of the will the trustees are author-ized to hold the fund in trust until itshall equal in value the sum of $500,000,at which time a suitable site and buildingshall be secured and a hospital to be knownas the Charles Gilman Smith Hospital es-tablished in the city of Chicago.An agreement was drawn up with theUniversity of Chicago by the terms ofwhich the University is to provide, in connection with its work in medicai instruc-tion and research, a suitable site andbuilding for the hospital. The agreementalso provides that the construction of thebuilding is to start on or before the datewhen the trust fund and property equalin value the sum of $500,000, and the income from any balance over and above thecost of construction and equipment maybe used and applied to the support of thehospital as the University directs. TheUniversity of Chicago is given the rightto use the facilities of the hospital in connection with its work in medicai instructionand research.Authorities at the University see a realstrengthening of the Medicai Schools andHospitals on the Midway in the oppor-tunities provided by the gift. The establish-lishment of a hospital for the treatmentof contagious diseases will materially widenthe scope of the hospitals which are beingbuilt and will enlarge the facilities forpublic service by the University of Chicago.It is pointed out, however, that additionalfunds are needed for endowment of thehospital to carry on in the building, nowprovide for, the work of combating contagious diseases which are recognized as aserious problem in this city. The need forexpansion of this type of medicai work isexplained by Dr. I. S. Falk, assistant pro fessor of hygiene and bacteriology and staffmember of the Public Health Departmentin charge of public surveys."It is generally recognized that the exist-ing hospitals of Chicago are inadequate tomeet the increasing demands which arebeing made upon them by the community,"Dr. Falk asserts. "This is especially truein regard to facilities for the treatment ofpatients afflicted with contagious diseases.Many hospitals will not even admit contagious cases. The gift to the Universitywill contribute towards relieving this situation."It is considered on the Midway that thegift has also a larger meaning. The University of Chicago has definitely embarkedon a program of medicai school and hospitaldevelopment in which research takes aprominent part. The establishment of acontagious disease hospital will provide thefacilities and the clinical material which isessential for research."The reeent discovery of the germ ofscarlet fever and the preparation of anantitoxin by Dr. George F. Dick and hiswife, Dr. Gladys Dick of the McCormickInstitute affiliated with the University ofChicago, provides an illustration of howpatient research paves the way for newadvances in medicine. The contagious orcommunicable diseases are only partly undercontrol. For some of these diseases thegerm has not been discovered. For others¦ — even though the germ is known — noantitoxin or other preventive or curativeserum has been prepared. Pneumonia andtuberculosis, for example, continue to killabout 6000 persons each year in Chicagoalone. When the city is visited by an epidemie of influenza like that which sweptthrough it last month, medicai science isstili comparatively helpless. There is greatneed and great opportunity for funds tofinance research."The development of hospital, teachingand research facilities which is now goingsteadily forward at the University of Chicago reflects a distinctly hopeful sign forthe future."347NEWS OF THEQUADRANGLESDean Wilkins Resigns asDean of the CollegesFOLLOWING a protracted illnesswhich was accentuated by a nervousbreakdown during the Winter Quarter,Dean Ernest Hatch Wilkins was forced toleave his work and enter the PresbyterianHospital. After several weeks of conva-lescing, he has recovered sufficiently to resumé his work as Professor of RomanceLanguages. He felt it necessary to resign,however, as a result of his illness, from hisposition as Dean of the Colleges. Earlylast Spring Quarter, Dean Wilkins, underthe pressure of work and frequent attacksof ili health, asked to resign, but his administration work was so constructive thatthe University would not accept his resig-nation and prevailed upon him to serveanother year.On Wednesday evening, Aprii 14, students and members of the faculty gatheredat a banquet in his honor at Ida Noyes Hall.On this occasion Dean Wilkins heard oneafter another of his colleagues and students,whose lives had been enriched by their contact with him, pour out their praise andappreciation for his service to the University and the undergraduate body.During his term as Dean, as the Alumniknow, he inaugurated many notable plansfor bringing the students into closer contact with the faculty and with each other,and his record of achievement in this position is an outstanding accomplishment withfew, if any, parallels.ò ò »DON McGINNIS, '26, star of the1925 Blackfriar production, "Kaitifrom Haiti," is taking the leading femalerole in the new Blackfriar show, "WallieWatch Out," to be presented in MandelHall May 14, 15, 21, and 22.As Prudence Chapel, he shares the honorswith Clyde Keutzer, '26, another favorite of last year's performance. Keutzer is play-ing the other female lead, Louise.Seward Covert, '26, head cheerleader ofthe University and star of many campusproductions, is taking the leading male partas Jefferson. The title role of Wallie isbeing played by a Freshman, Marvin Hintz,for whom Blackfriars predict a brilliantcareer.One of the features of the show is theGlee Club, which lends collegiate atmos-phere to what has been characterized as thepeppiest college play in years. The Blackfriar jazz orchestra that toured the MiddleWestern vaudeville circuits after a sen-sational success in Chicago theatres, is another headliner.The play is a tale of financial and emo-tional difficulties in a mythical kingdom inFlorida and of life at the University, withmuch clever satirizing of college life.THE South Shore Country Club wasthe scene on the night of Aprii 23rdof the Second Annual Military Ball, spon-sored by the Cadet Officers of the University Unit of R. O. T. C. About threehundred couples were present to enjoy thecolorful aspects that characterized thisoccasion.At ten o'clock assembly was sounded forthe Grand March, led by Cadet Major Herbert Mayer on the right and Cadet CaptainHugh Wilson on the left, with Miss AltaCundy and Miss EUen McCracken respect-ively as partners. An arch of sabres androses was formed by the Cadet Officers, inuniform, and their ladies through whichthe three hundred couples passed to flank theball room floor.The credit for the success of the MilitaryBall is due to the members of the com-mittees selected from membership of theCrossed Cannon, the honorary militarysociety of the University.348HOPES for a championship baseballteam were high in March when overthirty candidates, including six veteransfrom last year's team which placed secondin the conference, reported to Coach Nor-gren. Following the regular conferenceseason the team remained intact playinggames throughout the summer and touringthe Orient in the fall; hence, everythingpointed to a promising season this spring.Three veteran pitchers were back including Joe Gubbins, "Wally" Marks, andBill Macklind, while Webster, catcher,Brignall, third baseman, and McConnellshort stop were back in their regular posi-tions. The team took advantage of thegood weather during vacation and it seemed as if Chicago was designed to have awinning team. Immediately following thebeginning of spring quarter, snow and coldset in, and the weather was so bad that itwas not until the middle of Aprii thatthe team was again able to go outside ofBartlett Gymnasium. This undoubtedlyhurt Chicago 's chances for a winning team,for with only a few days of practice out-doors, Chicago met Northwestern and wasdefeated 5-12, and has also since lost toPurdue 2-6. However, the team is nowfast rounding into form, and is expectedto give a much better account of itself.Coach Norgren is now using Gubbins andMarks as pitchers, Webster catcher, Macklind at first base, Kyle Anderson, a promising sophomore at second base, McConnellat short stop, and Brignall at third base.In the field Charles Hoeger is playingregular center field, while Gubbins orMarks, when not pitching, play right. Theleft field is in doubt with a dozen candidatestrying out of which Farwell, John Mc-Donough, and Zimmerman are the mostpromising.Nearly forty men are out for spring football working under the direction of CoachStagg, and assistant coaches Crisler, Dick- JAMES CUSACK, '27Track Team Captainson, and Stagg, Jr. With the loss of 16"C" men and the probable ineligibility ofseveral other men who are now on probationunusual emphasis is being placed on springpractice.Among the promising line men who areout regularly include Olwin, '28, 190 lbs.and Lippy, '29, 172 lbs., centers; Fox, '29,178 lbs., and Proudfoot, '29, 188 lbs.,guards; Paul Lewis, '28, 189 lbs., Cockran,'28, 194 lbs., Wiselow, '29, 185 lbs., andCameron, '27, 178 lbs., tackles; Apitz, '28,167 lbs., Spence, '29, 174 lbs., and Stickney,'29, 167 lbs., at end.

LITTLE, Rush MedicaiSchool, 1863, became 90 years of ageon January 27, last. Dr. Little beganpractising in 1861, under a preceptor, aswas the rule in those days. Upon gradu-ating from Rush Medicai College, in 1863,he spent one and a half years as assistantsurgeon in the igth Illinois Infantry, andwas in some of the worst battles of theCivil War. He carne to Manhattan, Kansas, in 1866, and practised there continu-ously till 19 17 when his daughter, Dr.Belle Little, took over his active practice.He was thus in vigorous service fifty-sixyears. Considering that he has been activein the Medicai Society and various ca-pacities, and much consulted since 19 17,especially by old patients, he may be said tohave served, up to the present time, duringa period of sixty-five years.He and his daughter maintain a modemhospital in Manhattan which they are soonto increase to sixty-five bed capacity, andfrom which they derive no profit, as onlynominai charges are made. Dr. Little stilitakes a leading part in the affairs of thetown. He is active vice-president of, anddirector in the First National Bank, andPresident of the Manhattan Building andLoan Association.Dr. Little has vivid recollections of hisdays at Rush Medicai College, and partic-ularly of Surgeon "Dan" Brainard, one ofthe chief professors of the time, concerningwhom he relates a number of anecdotes.At one time Dr. Brainard had a humanskeleton in a box anchored out in the shal-low water of the lake as part of the proc-ess of preparing it for use in the classroom.Such paraphernalia had to be preparedby the professors themselves in thosedays. Word carne up to the Doctor oneday while he was in class that somebodyhad discovered the box with the skeletonin it and had pulled it up on the beach, andthat a curious crowd was gathering, andit was thought a murder had been uncov-ered. Dr. Brainard ran out from the classroom, got into a carriage and hurried to the Dr. C. F. Little, Rush, '63beach, slammed and nailed the lid of thebox back on and said to the crowd, "Thisis mine, get away and let it alone," andimmersed it in the lake again. And soan incipient "murder story" was promptlyand properly drowned.Chloroform as an anesthetic was justcoming into use at that time (1863). Dr.Brainard had a bad tooth. The dentistwas afraid to administer the chloroformwhich Dr. Brainard desired, but was wil-ling to let the doctor use it on himself.So Dr. Brainard was to hold his hand upin such a way that it would fall when hebecame unconscious. When the hand drop-ped the dentist extracted the tooth. Theanesthetic had not been fully effective ; thedoctor had suffered pain, but was so faigone that he thought the pain was "in some-body else's mouth."Dr. Little is probably the oldest livingRush alumnus — certainly the oldest who isstili, to some extent, at least, in practiceHis remarkable record as a physician ancsurgeon, as well as his many years of activity as a prominent citizen, have made hinone of the notable figures of his section 0the country.CSCHOOL OF EDUCATION IC ìReading InvestigationDURING the last few years a numberof investigations in different elemen-tary-school subjects have been carried onunder subsidies from the CommonwealthFund. The recent monographs publishedby the Department of Education on reading and arithmetic illustrate the types ofstudies which have been made. At a meetingof the Research Committee of the Commonwealth Fund it was decided to organize aninvestigation the purpose of which should beto determine methods which can be usedby supervisory officers in improving instruc-tion. Accordingly A. B. Meredith, StateCommissioner of Education in Connecticutand Will C. Wood, State Superintendentof Public Instruction in California wererequested to secure someone to carry on aninvestigation in either arithmetic or reading.William S. Gray was asked to make a studyin the field of reading.The purpose of the investigation, as out-lined by Mr. Gray, is twofold: First, todetermine ways and means to improve theteaching of reading through the use of theresults of scientific studies of reading problems and, second, to measure the effect ofthe steps adopted on the progress of thepupils.The study as planned will continue fortwo years. It began in the fall of 1925and will close in the spring of 1927. Thepurpose of the work during the current yearhas been to determine the present status ofreading in the schools, investigating theamount and character of the reading doneby the pupils and the accomplishments ofthe pupils at the end of the school year.The purpose of the work during the schoolyear 1926-27 will be to improve the teaching of reading through the application ofthe results of scientific studies.The co-operation of thirty-four schoolsin northern Illinois has been secured. Two general types of studies have been planned.In one of these the city school systems ofRock Island and Wilmette will work asunits during the coming year in an effortto reorganize and improve their instructionin reading as far as time permits. In theother, several types of schools have beenselected in which controlied experimentswill be conducted. These include ruralschools, village schools, and four types ofhighly organized city schools, namely, thosewhich are attended primarily by (a) foreign children, (b) negro children, (e) chil-dren of wealthy parents and, (d) childrenrepresenting various nationalities and economie levels.Although the immediate purpose of theexperiment is to improve instruction in reading the broader aim is to develop a supervisory technique of reorganizing and improving instruction in any field. Mr. Graywill be out of residence during the autumnquarter and will devote himself exclusivelyto the problem of supervising the work inthe various co-operating centers. The results of the investigation will be publishedlater as one of the Supplementary Educational Monographs.» « »Elementary EducationThe Commission on the Length of Elementary Education, of which Mr. Judd ischairman, met on Aprii 30 and May 1.They took up for consideration materialwhich has been collected on typical schoolsystems in the various states during the lastsix months. This material has been tabu-lated at the University of Chicago andcovers various items such as the age of ad-mission in the various states, the rate ofprogress of the pupils, the courses in theschool curriculum, and the success achievedin the various types of schools in the different states.(Please turn to page 366)352€ LAW SCHOOL ?C ìReunion of Five-Year Law ClassesThis will be a great "Law year" !

Thatis the question that many graduates willask, and ali that they will get in answeris an account of the things he has done,a rather unsatisfactory method of learningwhat he is. Of course it helps to knowthat he was formerly the dean of the lawschool at Stanford University, that he help-ed select President Mason, that almost everyorganization to which he belongs gives himsome officiai title and then makes him workfor it, whether it is the Association of Amer ican University Professors or the Association of American Law Schools, the Inter-collegiate Conference or the faculty-studenthonor commission, the Illinois Law Re-view or one of the dozen other groups towhich he belongs. AH that helps but it stilileaves us vague as to what he is and why somany things come sooner or later to depend,maybe more, maybe less, on him.Woodward is not tali; medium heightwould about describe him. His head ismassive, and the strong lines of his face,especially about the jaws indicate a forceof character which would be rendered rather formidable by the extremely aquiline nose,if it were not for the friendly lines aboutthe eyes, which have fortunately followedyears of readiness to laugh whenever laugh-ter could be called for. And that bringsup one of the first things that his friendswill teli you about him ; it is impossible tobe in his company more than a few minuteswithout discovering that under his guidancemany subjects of conversation have possi-bilities for humor and amusement, whichpreviously seemed as spritely and entertaining as the census report. It is not for noth-ing that he has come to be regarded as oneof the wittiest members of the faculty. Theresult of course can be taken for granted,he is a prime favorite among ali his asso-ciates not only in their working hours, butalso, if possible even more, in their leisuretime. Thus in the Quadrangle Club, thatorganization which plays such a big partin the life of the average faculty member,"Fritz" Woodward is an extremely important figure. If he isn't its president alithe time (he was, of course, during thecriticai year when the new clubhouse wasgoing up) he is at least almost a sort ofColonel House to successive generations ofpresidents, with only this exception, that aliadministrations seem to be democratic tothis particular Colonel House.(Please turn to page 368)353C 3C DOCTORS OF PHILOSOPHY ASSOCIATION ìKr^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^'*English DepartmentDURING the twenty-eight years that JohnMatthews Manly has been Head of theDepartment of English and during thefour years preceding this period, the Department has sent out eighty doctors cf philosophy.Thus far the group has lost few through death,and with the exception of those retired fromactive teaching nearly ali are continuing research studies in their special fields. Duringthe last year we have lost two of our most dis-tinguished scholars, both widely known forwork in Elizabethan literature. Thornton S.Graves ('12), made notable contributions tothe history of Elizabethan drama during hisyears at the University of North Carolina.Frederic Ives Carpenter ('95), long a memberof the Department, ended his studies shortlybefore his death with the publication of aSpenser bibliography that is exceedingly usefulto ali scholars. Among the gifts of his booksto the University Library is the rare 1596 editionof the Fairie Queene, and from the family hascome a gift of ten thousand dollars to be spentunder advice of the Department for similaracquisitions.Those most active in linguistics are James R.Hulbert ('12), professor in the University ofChicago; Thomas A. Knott ('12), newly appointed general editor of the Merriam Company,Worcester, Massachusetts; William F. Bryan(13), professor at Northwestern University;John M. Steadman (16), professor and headat Emory University; Kemp Malone ('19),professor at Johns Hopkins University; andJ. F. Royster ('07), professor and headin the University of North Carolina. Addi-tion to the staff of Professor William A.Craigie, formerly editor of the Oxford EnglishDictionary, is drawing increasing numbers intothe field of linguistics. The plans of the newModem Language Building, Wieboldt Hall,allow amply for laboratory investigations inlanguage. At present work is going on towardan American dialect dictionary, a new textof the Canterbury Tales, and a general American dictionary on the lines of the Oxford pian.In medieval studies Professor Manly hasstarted several important projects. He was instrumentai in promotion of the new MedievalAcademy of America, in which several Chicago men are active. George R. Coffman ('13),professor at Boston University, was among theoriginai enthusiasts and is on the Council. At the University, Professor Manly has a stronggroup working on masses of photostats fromnearly ali the existing Chaucer manuscripts,with the aim of creating a criticai text of theCanterbury Tales. A year ago Edith Rickert('99), associate professor in the University ofChicago, spent several months in England col-lecting the materials and is now abroad againfor the same purpose. Professor Hulbert isassisting in the laboratory. Others active inthe general field are Eleanor P. Hammond ('98) ;Dudley D. Griffith (16), professor in the University of Washington ; Annette B. Hopkins('12), professor at Goucher College; and IreneP. McKeehan (23), associate professor in theUniversity of Colorado.Charles R. Baskervill ('n), professor in theUniversity of Chicago, is directing graduatestudies during the six months period whenProfessor Manly is regularly out of residence.His important studies of afterpieces and jigson the Elizabethan stage are nearly ready forpublication. During the coming summer he willteach at the University of Washington afterremaining here for the first term. BaldwinMaxwell ('21), formerly of the Departmenthere, has accepted a professorship at the University of Iowa. The six months before takingup his new work Professor Maxwell spent inLondon, where he did research work on Elizabethan drama. Lily Bess Campbell ('21), as-sistant professor in the University of California,South, has lately published her important studiesof Elizabethan stagecraft that began in herdoctoral thesis. She will teach at the University during the second term of the SummerQuarter. Evelyn May Albright ('15), assistantprofessor in the University of Chicago, isabout to publish her investigations of authors'rights and publishing conditions in the six-teenth century; this will be issued soon asone of two monographs selected by the ModemLanguage Association in instituting a new seriesof books to be published by the society. Another book based on a dissertation will be issuedsoon by Ola E. Winslow ('22), associate professor at Goucher College; it will treat thetopic of low comedy in English drama before1642. The history of the Chicago theatres before the Civil War is the theme of a bookshortly to be issued by a Chicago house forNapier Wilt ('23), an instructor in the Department of English.(Please turn to page 360)3 54OFFICERS OF THE UNIVERSITY OFCHICAGO ALUMNI CLUBSAmes, Ia.

Over 30 states of the Union were rep-resented by their state or sectional cham-pions, with some 38 teams competing forthe national championship. The calibreof the teams was of a distinctly top-notchclass, with a result that "up-sets" occuredevery day, "favorites" were pushed asidein many unexpectedly close games — some ofthe games going over-time and being wonby one-point margins in most excitingfìnishes — and the struggle became more andmore intense as the tournament advancedtoward the championship fìnals.For the first time in the history of thetournament an eastern team won the championship. Fitchburg, Massachusetts, cham-pions of New England, defeated Fargo,North Dakota, 25 to 14, in the championship final. Salem, South Dakota, won thirdplace, with Pueblo, Colorado, fourth. Inthe Consolation tournament Zanesville,Ohio, won first, Salt Lake City, Utah,second, Oak Ridge, Louisiana, third, andCanton, Illinois, fourth place.That the high school teams of the countryare rapidly developing in basketball skilland team-work was never more in evidencethan this year. And throughout the con-tests a fine spirit of sportsmanship was al-ways in evidence. About 25,000 spectatorswitnessed the tournament during the week,with great, "capacity" crowds attending theclosing games. Coach Herbert O.("Fritz") Crisler, '22, who managed thetournament, deserves special commendationfor the general success in evidence duringthe entire week.NavajoIndian RugsHand Made of Pure Wool byWomen of Navajo Tri be.

Ali whohave had the opportunity of seeing thesepictures and hearing Mr. Moulds teliabout them, will know what a treat we had,and those who have not yet had this opportunity, should arrange to have this program brought to their own clubs.The Illini Club of Peoria were invitedto attend this meeting, in return for similarcourtesies which they have extended to us.Peoria has some members from some ofthe surrounding towns, and would welcomeany others who are former students at theUniversity, who may be living in com-munities near Peoria, in which there maynot be a sufficiently large number to warrant forming a separate club. The Secretary will be glad to hear from any whomay be so situated. Sincerely yours,Anna Jewett LeFevre, Secretary.

In larger citiesretailers secure their supplies from SwiftBranch Houses.This form of marketing is used becauseour products are perishable and we mustsee that they reach the retailers in perfect condition.By this method we can parallel theshifts in demand, and eliminate the wasteof over-supply and the inconvenience ofscarcities.Direct selling to retailers has provedto be the quickest and most economicalmethod of assuring a Constant supply ofwholesome foods.Large volume makes possible such alow unit profit that it has no appreciableeffect on the prices paid by the consumeror to the livestock producer.Swift & CompanyFounded 1868Owned by more than 47,000 shareholders BIRTHSTo Albert Dudley Brokaw, '08, Ph.
