They will con-tain 215 patients' beds in units of from oneto four in a room or alcove, administrativeoffices, kitchens and stores, dining-roomsfor the staff and employees, X-ray labora-tories, operating rooms, and a clinic for"out-patients," with special provisions formedicai social service. Patients will thushave the advantage of southern Windowsand more sunlight ; and ali hospital tramewill be directed to the Midway entrance,without crossing any part of the Quad-rangles. Other buildings adjoining thehospital on the north will contain labora-tories and lecture rooms ; and through these,by two doorways facing the Quadrangles,the students themselves will enter.But the students will not confine theiractivities to these northern buildings. Thewhole group is a unit. Hospitals, wards,operating rooms, and laboratories will alicomprise one vast classroom for the medicaistudent, and one vast laboratory for the in-vestigator. Ali of these activities, whetherresearch, clinical work, or teaching, in whatever part of the hospital group theymay be conducted, will be designated asthe medicai and surgical clinics.One of the two doorways facing theQuadrangles bears the inscription, "FrankBillings Medicai Clinic." That, the Boardof Trustees have decreed, is the nameunder which ali the University's work ininternai medicine shall be endowed andconducted.« « «THE man whose name is thus honoredis truly a product of the American lifewhich Chicago represents. He spent hisboyhood on a farm in Wisconsin, in thedays when farming was done "by hand."He bound grain as it carne from the reaper,at twenty dollars a month (doublé theusuai wages because he did the work of twomen), and so paid his way through NormalSchool. An anatomy book, borrowed fromthe family doctor, interested him, and sethim a new goal. He taught a countryschool, owned a drug store, sold it at aprofìt, and so reached the goal of medicaischool. Then he spent years in study abroad,at Vienna and Berlin, and years as astruggling young physician.He became known as a diagnostician of215216 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINErare judgment, and marvellous thorough-ness. The patience learned of long summersat the plow and beside the reaper now stoodout as a peculiar strength. "A tremendousand heartening vitalit>%' * one man has saidof him, "sureness of judgment of the realstudent of disease, the tenderness of a warmnature, these go to malte up the greatphysician. "These same virtues have made him like-wise a great teacher, and a valued helper of young physicians. "No bluff about him/'one of them said of Dr. Billings. "Heknew. And he could show us." One hesent through school, another he started inpractice, another with his help completedand published a piece of research work inhis own name."He taught not only what he was taught,"says the writer quoted above, "and what helearned year by year in study and in prac-tice, but taught men to teach themselves."The laboratory of the Frank Billings Medicai Clinic, viewed from the greatnorth court. It is the northwest sector of the hospital group, which fronts on theMidway, and connects directly with the other buildings of that group, so as tounify the activities of the Clinic.THE FRANK BILLINGS CLINIC 217He sought to found his teaching in research,and make the scientific spirit the spirit ofhis pupils.To this research he has made his owncontribution : the principle of foci of in-fection. Doctors hadfor some time suspectedthat tonsils and teethmay be sources of in-fection for the wholebody. He proved theproposition; and thescience of medicinemade a new advance.For this piece of work,Frank Billings' nameends the roll in theMedicai Hall of Fameat the University ofCincinnati, where onehundred and fifty arelisted as the greatphysicians of ali time.Many institutions,valuable servants ofhuman health and wel-fare, stand as monu-ments to Dr. Billingsas a leader and organ-izer. He has beenactive in the enlarge-ment and remodelingof the Presbyterian Hospital, and in thedevelopment of foundations like the JohnMcCormick Institute for Infectious Dis-eases, and the Sprague Institute. In theemergency of war, when health was seento be of greater public concern than hadbeen realized before, Dr. Billings gave him-self to the cause without reserve.The new Rush Medicai College, and thenew Hospital and Medicai School of theUniversity, show the mark of Dr. Billings'hand. He was among the first to see theneed of closer contacts between the teachingof medicine and research in the basicsciences, and Chicago's opportunity to filithat need. He was among those who ledthe way when a pian was formed for ahospital and medicai school on the Midway,where research in the scientific departmentsof the University might co-operate with 0T"""" '^fi&rfyrM-'Qff.The Billingsstudentsdoorway to the FrankMedicai Clinic.

Thetwo towers rose. Laboratory buildings wereerected to the north ofthe hospital; doorwaysopened from thesetoward the Quadrangles, to serve as en-trances for ali thoseengaged in research,teaching, or study inany part of the hospitalgroup. It was pro-posed that the name,"Frank Billings Medicai Clinic," be inscribedover one of these doors.Trustees and Facultyagreed enthusiastically.Dr. Billings' friendswelcomed the suggestion as embodying themost fitting memorial to his services, andone especially significant because it willbegin its career of usefulness while Dr.Billings is stili a force in the medicai world.Harold Swift, President of the Board ofTrustees, said, "The most the Universitycan do, and the least it can do, to honor Dr.Billings is to name this clinic after him."The LTniversity's medicai school willhave many parts : hospitals, laboratories,lecture-rooms. Wherever the activity of theDepartment of Medicine extends into thesesections, the space so used will become, defacto, a part of the Frank Billings MedicaiClinic.So the University endows in Dr. Billings'honor its whole activity in internai medicine, the field to which Dr. Billings hasdevoted a valuable life's work.be wholly at theservice.The Story of The University of ChicagoBv Thomas Wakefield GoodspeedReprintrd through courtesy ojIII. The First Milliox DollarsTHE job that confronted us in Chicago on June I, 1889, was to addto Mr. Rockefeller's subscnption$400,000, making a full million by June1, 1890. We got busy at once. A repre-sentative meeting of Baptists, held on June5, appointed a College Committee, which,on June IO, appointed me financial secretary to co-operatewith Dr. Gates inraising the requiredfund. Dr. Gatesmoved to MorganPark, where I wasliving, and devotedhimself for the en-suing year to thisone undertaking.The first stept a k e n was theissuing of a prelimi-nary statement andappeal which wasdistributed in thecongregations o fchurches in Chicagoand sent to 1,200pastors throughoutthe West for dis-tribution amongtheir people. Thisbeing done, we set-tled down to thereal work of personal solicitation.We went every-where together. From twenty to thirtycalls were sometimes made in a single day.Because I was acquainted with the Baptistpublic it was my task, after a day's workof solicitation was over, to prepare a newlist of people to be called on the next day.There was no hesitation as to where thefirst appeal must be made. The new in-stitution was to be located in Chicago. It The University of Chicago Presswas to be founded under Baptist auspices.It was to be, as far as possible, the con-tribution of that denomination to the causeof education. It was to re-establish in Chicago that educational work the failure ofwhich had been a sorrow and humiliation.The chief appeal must be to the Baptistsof Chicago. They were a comparativelyfeeble folk financially. But they under-stood perfectly that the responsibility for thesuccess of the cam-paign rested, in thefirst instance, ont h e m. To theirhonor, it must besaid, they did notshrink from thegreat adventure, butwelcomed it with en-thusiasm. The Chicago churches re-sponded liberally,the subscription inone of them reach-ing S8o,ooo, in another $50,000, inanother S20.000, ina fourth $7,500, andali the rest, in pro-portion to their abil-ity, did fully as well.So ready was theBaptist responsethat at the end ofsixty days $200,000had been subscribed.At the end of thecampaign when alithe returns were in, it was found that theBaptist people of Chicago had subscribed$2.^,000. There were, of course. excep-tions to the well-nigh universal interest.One man of wealth met us at his door and,knowing our errand, did not admit us tohis house, but said immediately, "I cannothelp you, I am too poor." I felt compelledto say to him, "No, you are not too poor.The scene is a meeting of the National Baptist Anniver sarie s, in 1890.Dr. Goodspeed has the floor, and isreporting the success of the campaignfor subscriptions to the neiv University. He has just referred to the"country-iuide rally to our support"ivhich made the quota possible, andexpressed the hope that the roll ofstates and territories ivill be complete." At once," says the officiai report,"tivo or three people are up to speakfor missing states."Maine, South Carolina, West Virginia, Utah, are in the field so nearìytogether that it is impossible to saytvhich led off. Tlien someone speaksfor the Sandwich Islands. The statesand territories have ali ansicered. Thedoors are opened to the nations of theearth . . . the nooks and cornersof the atlas are ransacked that theix'orld may have a sitare in the prii'i-lege of building the University of Chicago."This is one of the stirring cpìsodesin the third chapter of Dr. Good-speed's book.218THE STORY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO 219You are without interest." This man carneto the great jubilation meeting at the doseof the campaign and warmly congratulatedme on our success. Of the $200,000 raisedin sixty days almost ali had come from theBaptist people of Chicago. The appealssent to 1,200 churches throughout the Westhad been fruitful in expressions of sym-pathy, but in subscriptions practically bar-ren of results. We had every warrant forcalling on the Baptists of the entire country.We were the agents of a national organiza-tion which had undertaken, in the name ofthe denomination, to establish the new in-stitution. There were, of course, evidentreasons why the Baptists of the MiddleWest should co-operate liberally. The in-stitution was being established for themand their children.Having practically exhausted the re-sources of help among the Baptists of Chi-ago, we were compelled to make our nextappeal to the churches of the West. OnOctober I, 1889, therefore, the appeals tothe country began. These appeals weremade in letters and circulars distributed bythe thousand, in visits to other cities andthrough the columns of the denominationalpress, particularly through The Standardof Chicago. The columns of The Standardwere generously placed at our disposai andthrough them every corner of the West wasreached and kept informed of the progressof the work. As the denominational organat the center of the movement, it was in aposition to render effective aid, and wecould hardly have made it more useful inour work, if we had ourselves owned thepaper. We began our systematic campaign to reach the churches of the countryin its columns on October 3, 1889, in avery urgent appeal, telling how nobly theBaptists of Chicago had done and howimperative it was that they should nowtake up the work. Subscription blanks(vere sent to many pastors and laymen.But the results were almost nothing. Dis-xmraged, but not despairing, we continuedhese appeals almost every week and sentubscription blanks more and more widely.nterest visibly increased but subscriptions were few and small. We persisted, but itwas not until January, 1890, that responsesbegan to come that encouraged us. Thestream, after beginning to flow, gatheredvolume every day. On February 18, wewere able to say to the readers of our appeals : "We have thus far received from theNorthwest, outside Chicago, about $30,-000. If we can secure $70,000 outside thecity our success will be assured." Thatanyone receiving The Standard who wasdisposed to help might have a subscriptionblank at hand we printed one in the paper.These blanks soon began to return in theshape of good subscriptions. The interestamong the churches visibly increased. OnMarch 20, the secretaries announced inThe Standard that $40,000 had been se-cured outside of Chicago. Returns hadso increased that they were coming in atthe rate of nearly $3,000 a week. In re-sponse to renewed requests to set a dayfor the presentation of the cause of the newinstitution in the churches we named thesecond Sunday in Aprii as "UniversityDay." Having been urged to insert thesubscription form again in The Standardwe did this also. The following week thiswas done once more and for the last time,and it was announced that up to that datea total of seven hundred subscriptions hadbeen received. At the dose of the campaigneight weeks later, the number of subscribershad more than doubled. On Aprii 1,$100,000 remained to be secured. In thefirst two months of the campaign $200,000had been subscribed. It had taken eightmonths to raise the third $100,000. Howcould a like sum be found in the twomonths now remaining? It was evidentthat help must be found in the East as wellas in the West. Dr. Gates therefore spenta full month in March and Aprii seekingsuch help in the eastern cities. The results, amounting to nearly $1,000 for everyday of his absence, contributed essentiallyto the final success.University Day in the churches produced$5,000 in a single week. In the end theappeal to the churches was a great success.At the outset it seemed doomed to failure,but as the end of our year drew near the220 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEvolume of subscriptions increased wonder-fully.In the very last week of the campaign theEvanston church reported $7,500, and theWoodward Avenue Church of Detroit,Michigan, $15,000. Scores of other con-gregations sent in their offerings and largenumbers of individuai subscriptions werereceived. When the campaign ended itwas found that $116,000 had been subscribed outside of Chicago. Such was theeffort to enlist the co-operation of individuate and churches in places beyond the nar-row limits of a single city and so unex-pectedly great «'as the result. Great, butnot enough.We, therefore, sought to open a thirdfountain of benevolence. After anxiousconsultations, we determined to appeal tothe general business public of Chicago.Feeling that in trying to see men of wealthwe must be introduced by someone betterknown than ourselves, we sought help in get-ting such introductions. But we soonfound that if we made good use of ourtime we must do the work ourselves, together, depending on no outside help.The first man called on, in this newdeparture, was Charles L. Hutchinson,who promised help, entered heartily intoour plans, and continued to give us sug-gestions and assistance to the end of thecampaign. Our reception by Mr. Hutchinson greatly encouraged us. We werestili more encouraged as we continuedto get a sympathetic hearing and receiveassurances of help. We were received sowell and so many assurances of help weregiven us that our courage was greatly increased and our hopes began to enlarge. Wesoon had the names of seventeen men fromwhom we had assurances of substantial assistance, though none of them had yet madeformai and definite subscriptions.Matters had reached this stage when,on December 4, 1889, a cali -was made onMarshall Field, the leading merchant ofChicago. Some time had already been spentin inspecting possible sites for the new insti-tution. Finally unoccupied ground wasfound fronting on the Midway Plaisancebetwcen Washington and Jackson parks. It was recognized at once as the ideal site.Learning that it belonged to Mr. Field itwas determined to ask him to donate tenacres for the purpose. He received therequest with hospitality, but said the fìrmwas about to make the annual inventory andlearn the results of the year's business. Heasked his visitors, therefore, to come andsee him six weeks later. Before the endof the six weeks a letter was sent to himembodying the following points:That his favorable decision would leadto certain and great success; that any sec-tion of the land he preferred to give wouldbe satisfactory ; that an agreement wouldbe made to expend at least $200,000 inbuildings and improvements within fìveyears ; that these improvements would bebegun within one year from June 1, 1890;that a deed of the land would not be askeduntil these conditions, or such as he mightimpose, were fulfilled ; that every effortwould be made to increase the endowmentsand equipments every year and to make areally great institution. We next calledon Mr. Field on January 15, 1890. Thedetails of the interview are preserved ina letter written four days later to my sonsat college. The first thing Mr. Field saidwas this :"I have not yet made up my mind aboutgiving you that ten acres. But I have de-cided one thing. If I give it to you, I shallwish you to make up the $400,000 inde-pendently of this donation."We assured him that this we could andwould do. He then had his maps broughtand indicated the tract he had in mind togive, lying on the southeast corner of EllisAvenue and Fifty-sixth Street. We thoughtwe saw that Mr. Field had really decidedin his own mind to make the donation andtherefore felt that we might safely urgehim to do so. We asked if Mr. Gatesmight not telegraph Mr. Rockefeller thathe had decided to give the site. He re-peated that he was not quite ready to goso far as this. We then said:"Mr. Field, our work is really waitingfor your decision. We are anxious to push(Continued on page 248)University and Alumni: An EntenteA Board Appointed by President Mason Begins a Program to CultivateCloser Ties with the GraduatesBULLETINSThe Milwaukee Alumni Club held adinner-party February 4, with ProfessorPercy Holmes Boynton of the Departmentof Englìsh and Dean Ernest E.

ACOMMITTEE of Alumni andmembers of the Faculty began worklast spring with this major premise : "TheAlumni are to be recognized as a part ofthe University body. They comprise agroup to be cultivated and a new force tobe properly directed toward strengtheningand advancing the University."By closer contacts between Universityand Alumni, this committee believed, theUniversity could gain the benefits of increased loyalty, a greater prestige in thecommunities where Alumni live and work,and valuable ideas which Alumni mightcontribute, if rightly informed, on questionsof University policy. The Alumni, in turn,could profit through a continuance of theinspirational contacts of college days, thehelp the University might give them intheir own present problems, and the closercontacts that they might develop with eachother.With these assumptions the committeeset to work. Of one part of the programwhich it has inaugurated, the six newsitems above give a composite picture.» « «THE program suggested for strengthening the connections of Alumni withtheir Alma Mater provides for more thana dozen lines of approach to the problem.For one thing, it includes a more intensiveuse of machinery already set up : adaptationand wider circulation of The Universityof Chicago Magazine, a fuller and moreinteresting program for Reunion and Home-coming; co-operation in the development ofAlumni clubs; extension of the records ofAlumni; an organized pian for the reception of visiting Alumni, with opportunitiesfor attending classes, seeing new buildings,and chatting with favorite faculty members ; radio programs planned especially forAlumni.It includes Communications from theUniversity to Alumni, in the form of ayearly report or letter signed by the Presi-THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEdent, an illustrated booklet on the University, a special edition of The University of Chicago Magazine or The DailyMaroon devoted to late news of the University's development, special bulletins ondiscoveries in the laboratories and seminar-rooms. At intervals, some well-known deanor professor would write a letter to theAlumni. The University would send theAlumni questionnaires asking their viewsand suggestions on questions of its policy.The different schools and departmentswould send news letters periodically totheir former students. Moving pictureswould be utilized toreport the growth ofthe building schemeand appropriate sortsof research work.Members of thefaculty, to whom theactual business ofteaching and researchis a lifework, can berelied on, the committee believed, toplay animportant partin keeping the Alumniinformed about theUniversity. Besides,they can act intel-ligently and directlyo n suggestions b yAlumni about University policy. The program, therefore, includes visits by professorsto clubs and individuai Alumni in othercities.The University, under this program,would sponsor the formation of groups ofAlumni for study. It would send themoutline courses, printed lectures, and read-ing lists. It would keep Alumni author-itatively informed about the latest books ;it would send them copies of lectures byits leading scholars on subjects of generalinterest. The departments and professional schools would hold conferences ofAlumni engaged in particular lines ofwork, where geolngists, preachers, etc,might discuss their current problems. Avocational bureau would co-operate withbusiness organizations looking for men,and help to place graduates in those linesThe University of Chicago is fortunate in having abody of Alumni who take anactive interestin scholarlyand professional activities.This interestjustifies con-tinuous profes-s i o n a 1 andscholarly serv-ice to Alumni.— Dean Filbey of work for which they are best fitted.The University accepted the proposai,and created a committee of the Faculty,called the Board of Alumni Relations, tocarry out the University's share of thework, in co-operation with the AlumniCouncil. Dean Emery T. Filbey was re-leased last fall from his teaching duties forone year to take charge of the work of thisBoard.£. « «ACERTAIN professor, let us say,plans to do a piece of research workin Memphis, Tennessee. He is anauthority in politicaiscience ; his studies ofthe machinery of citygovernment have at-tracted wide atten-tion. He can teli astory about the University's work in thisfield that will interestanybody who is awaketo the day's problems.Dean Filbey, in touchwith ali departmentsand schools of theUniversity, learns ofthis professor's con-templated trip.In Memphis is aclub of ChicagoAlumni. They are interested in whathappens at the University, and alive toproblems of general import. Mr. Paul H.Davis, 'lì, chairman of the Clubs Committee of the Alumni Council, by Constantpersonal correspondence with a leadingmember of this club, knows its interests, thenature of its personnel, and its dates ofmeeting.Alumni Council and Board of AlumniRelations exchange information ; theAlumni Secretai) notifies the MemphisClub of the professor's trip; the Club ar-ranges a meeting and invites the professor.Other clubs along the road to Memphismay make similar arrangements.Some clubs are more remote thanMemphis, and not so likely to be visited inthe course of the professor's business. The(Continued on page 248)Some Lessons In DemocracyProfessor T. V. Smith, whose "The Democratic ff'ay of Life" has recently beenissued by the University of Chicago Press, furnishes the following note regarding therelationship of himself to his book:NO PERSON who has arrived at afair degree of self-knowledge failsto recognize how constantly heout-speaks his information, how frequentlyhe outbuilds his knowledge, be the fact forbetter or for worse. Especially of an authoris it true that revelation of self is certainto outdistance knowledge of himself. Apply-ing this type of observation intimately, Isee far enough to recognize two main in-fluences of which my book is a literaryrationalization. The first is the influenceof the frontier environment in youth andthe second is the influence of a collegedormitory in early manhood.Born on a farm in the far Southeast andreared amid simple farm and ranch con-ditions, my own expectations were dem-ocratically set and my demands upon lifelargely predetermined. This is but repeti-tion in personal terms of the history ofdemocracy in the modem world. Thefreest, most fraternal spirit, along with thegreatest emphasis upon a certain type ofliberty, has been highly characteristic ofpioneer conditions. Democratic sentimenthas followed the frontier and in its backaction upon older settled countries andstates has been a perturbing demand forreinstatement of simpler ideals of living.The old Hebrew prophets carne down fromtheir simple life in the hills rugged in ap-pearance, rude in dress, simple in ideas andlaunched tirade after tirade against citypeople in the name of an earlier conceptionof deity. In America the influence of theWest has played the same róle, clamoringfor liberty, equality, fraternity as the oppressive regime of industrialism crept slowlybut inexorably inland from the East. Thespirit makes itself articulate in my littlebook in a high-handed protest against botha leisure class and a philosophy that ideal-izes leisure and in an equally high-handeddemand that industriai work shall be keptas humane as work on the ranch. I was introduced into the world of booksand ideas and into ambition for scholarshipand research through such social contactsas perpetuated the pioneer influence. Acollege dormitory is on principle likely tohave little of snobbishness about it. Thisparticular dormitory — "B Hall, Texas" —at the University of my native state carriedas its proudest tradition the emphasis upon"Jeffersonian Democracy." No man wastoo poor to be accepted as leader if he couldlead ; no man too rich or proud to be ostra-cized if he showed the least inclination toput on airs. I cite as typical the case ofa chap who carne suddenly into some goodfortune that carried with it a certain socialrecognition. He failed in two or three in-stances to recognize his fellows on thecampus — perhaps more because of near-sightedness than of snobbishness ! But hewas haled at once into a court that alwaysconvened as if by magic upon the leastshow of superiority by a member; the jurywas sworn to find him "guilty regardlessof evidence;" and he learned that fatefulnight that even near-sightedness can bedangerous in a democracy. Populated bychance, this residence hall regarded itselfas the naturai enemy of ali fraternities whocarefully selected their members ; and itfelt a high mission to maintain against aliinstitutions that inculcated smaller socialloyalties a loyalty for the university as awhole and indeed for the state as a whole.It stili remains in Texas state politics adistinct advantage to have been during university days "an inmate of B Hall, Texas."After graduation, I paid my debt of grati-tude by writing as a magazine article whatI conceived to be the spiritual biography ofthis dormitory — "B Hall, the Citadel ofDemocracy."My residence in such a community whileI was finding myself intellectually, made iteasy, indeed made it quite necessary, for meto conceive the life of scholarship as finding22322 + THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEits highest mission in enriching the commonlife that gives it birth and guarantees itsConstant renewal. The spirit of this college community permeates every page of thebook as no doubt it does also every neuronof my nervous system. Democraticallyborn, democratically raised, democraticallyeducated, could I conceive life otherwisethan as a democratic experiment to whichI entrust the making of my only chance ofvictory over the inexorable years— theyoung hopeful whosepicture graces thiscolumn?(The DemocraticJVay of Life, Professor Smith's latebook, examines theideals of fraternity ,liberty, and equality,for luhich our fore-fathers fought, sees intheir achievement theonly hope of the race,and proposes somebold steps toward thathope. Thus far, Professor Smith believes,man has not made areasonable effort toward democracy as away of life; hencedemocracy has seemedto fall as a forni of government . and weare tempted to despair of the whole idea.Yet nothing short of absolute fraternity,ivhich treats every man on earth as a friend,and absolute liberty, which trust s man sown desires, properly trained, to lead himalong the right patii, and absolute equality,ivhich distributes these opportunities aliketo ali men, will enable man to combat a/tostile nature and develop as he onc/ht.As means toward these ideals, ProfessorSmith ivould trust largely to "the human-izing of work." He believes that too manyGayle Stanley Smith, Professor Smith'sfour-year-old son, to whom he has dedi-cated his book in these words,TO GAYLEAXD HIS COMRADES IX THEDEMOCRATIC EXPERIMEXTThey seek escape from work, when theyought to seek self-expression in it. Hesuggests that friendly rivalry and thelaborer's pride in his product be used tostiantiate whole-hearted devotion to theday's work for its own sake ; and thatcareful studies be made with a view to cre-ating machines that will eliminate drudgery.Finally, Professor Smith proposes a dif-ferent attitude toward politicai leaders.These men, he says, are too often allowedto rule by virtue ofsome mystic power(often called '' ' personale y" ) ; their statusought to be that ofexperts, equipped withspecial knowledge andskill in the techniqueof government. Thissanie status of expert,in fact, would be thestatus of every man inProfessor Smith'sUtopia; every manivould, through freeexpression of his well-trained individuality ,beco me an expert insome department,large or small, ofhuman activity; how-ever low his station,he ivould share thecxperìence and theideas of his fellow-ivorkmen; ali men ivould understand — asdo many doctors, laivyers, and teachers ai-ready — the meaning of their tasks, andwould need no goal outside the performanceitself, day by day, of those tasks; and weshould have "a social order in which everyman lives rìchly his oivn life, leads hisfellows ivhcre his knoivledge justifies, andfollows them where his ignorance compels."Professor Smith believes, and contendedin a recent debate with Dr. Will Durant,that democracy to date is not a faìlure, Le.men regard their day's work as something that it has given us a foundation.

Editor).A Pioneer AlumnusAccount of the Eventful Life of Dr. Winston, Rush '58, Now in HisN inety-Eighth YearDR. THOMAS WINSTON wasborn in Devynock, Breconshire,Wales, on the I7th of October,1829. He carne to this country with hisparents when he was two years old, aftera journey of terrible hardships. To gofrom that remote inland part of Wales toLiverpool took twoweeks, and six wererequired for the sail-ing vessel to crossthe Atlantic. Thefamily were quaran-tined in the harborat Quebec for sometime, the ship beforethem havingbrought in cholera.Partly as the re-sult of these priva-tions his father andmother were bothdead when he wasnine. During thenext ten years hewas a wandererthrough Ohio, Wisconsin, and Illinois,without home or education. He learnedthe tailoring trade,and was a journey-man before he wassixteen. A few yearslater he carne westby a vessel on the Lakes to Milwaukee,then to Lake Mills, Wisconsin.In the year 1849, he and two othersstarted westward, intending to go to thePacific Coast. But the horse which con-stituted their chief asset died on the way,their money ran out, and the little companydisbanded.Winston drifted south and found em-ployment in a shop kept by George Bell,a tailor.To support him through these trials,Or.

Thechild's mother, Mrs. Newson, is a formerstudent at the UniversityThomas Winston had an interest which isoften enough incomprehensible to personswith better educational opportunities; thiswas a passion for books and for reading.His family have in their possession two sub-stantial calfskin volumes, the works ofSamuel Johnson, which Thomas Winstonbought for six dol-lars — when he wasearning ten dollarsa month. Macaulayhe specially admired.When the Hisioryof England was inprocess of publication, he waitedenthusiastically, andbought what hethinks was perhapsthe first copy sold inthe Mississippi Val-ley.

Popewas a great favoriteto be quoted in lateryears with enthusi-asm, and Byron adose second ; the subtler cadences of theother romanticists apparently did not penetrate to these remote prairies.In about 1848 Winston went, partly bystage, partly on foot, to Mt. Morris, Illinois, to attend Rock River Seminary, aschool conducted by the Methodist Church.In this vicinity he spent most of his activemanhood. He earned his living in variousways here, some of the time as owner andpart proprietor of a drue store. He seemsto have no definite anecdote to offer as to225226 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINECharles S.

Alorris.Dr. Winston remembers with particu-lar respect and gratitude Dr. Brainard,President of Rush Aledical College at thattime, and Drs. Davis and Byford, both in-structors. The courage and patience ofthese men, enabling them to continue thework of the College in the face of themost discouraging circumstances, impressedhim deeply. Bodies for dissection were dif-ficult to obtai-n by conventional means. Thepoverty of the students was almost unbe-lievable. When Dr. Winston took his de-gree, one man carne up on the platformto receive his diploma — barefoot.The new-fledged AI.D. then returned toAlt. Morris. About this time he marriedCaroline Alumford, of Pleasant Alount,Wayne County, Pennsylvania, who hadcome west as a teacher in the Rock River(Continued on page 250)his choice of a profession. But he tellsmany stories of the woeful conditions underwhich in those days men studied or prac-ticed medicine, or rather did not study. Oneman in this region practiced as a physicianand surgeon, though his only training hadbeen as a butcher in the Eastern town fromwhich many of his patrons carne.Dr. Winston saw the results of ignor-ance and false pretenses amon£ the medicaipractitioners of the era in terms of individuai suff ering, and appreciated the efTortsof the Chicago institution, Rush AledicalCollege, to supply the much-needed training. During the winters of 1857-58 and185H-59 he was enrolled there as a student.He graduated in 1858, and returned forfurther study. The course consisted of asix-months series of lectures. The studenttook the same lectures over again, if he returned at ali.He carne to school with another youngman from Alt.

IVhile the Examiner's Office weeds out ap-plicants of doubtful worth, students and Alumni,in the opinion of this group, ought to conduct anorganized search in the high schools of their com-munities for students of the highest grade.One of the originators of the idea, the man nowin charge of the program agreed upon, gives an account of the pian in the aritele below.By John M. Meyer, '27THE Alumni body of the Universityhas long needed some strong incentive, some work to bind it together,to hold its interest and satiate its appetitefor constructively serving its Alma Mater.The undergraduate college has longneeded certain improvements : among thema more choice and representative body ofstudents. At present there are each fallenough applications for admission to filithe Freshman class. But most of the applicami are from Cook County highschools and tend to give the University apurely locai aspect. Moreover, many oftRese commute daily from their homes, andso fail to become, as they should, a part ofthe University life. The administrativepolicy of the University is decidedly pointedtoward the development of the fìnest undergraduate college in the country. Withthe appointment of Dean Wilkins, President Mason, Vice President Woodwardand Dean Boucher a new era has begunfor the University. And most significant,the student body has caught the spirit ofthese stimulating leaders, and desire theirUniversity to be composed of the highesttype of students drawn from ali parts ofthe country.These are the problems. The solutionto both has been found to be identical. Let the Alumni and undergraduates point outto the best high school students throughout the country opportunities which theUniversity of Chicago offers.A group of Alumni and seniors of theUniversity have inaugurated such a pianand presented it, on a small scale, to ahundred or so Alumni scattered throughoutthe country. This group has been askedto discover the best seniors in their respec-tive community high schools and submittheir names to the "Undergraduate Extension Board," which is sponsoring this move-ment. These Alumni have determined"the best" by considering scholastic ability,personality and other characteristics whichindicate that the student would be an in-terested participant in undergraduate life.The Extension Board has been in Constantcommunication with both Alumni and students recommended by means of letters andprinted matter pertinent to the University.The work has progressed rapidly. Theproject has been enthusiastically receivedthroughout the country. Nearly ali Alumniapproached have gladly entered into thework, have submitted the names of manyhigh school students to the Board, and haveactually established personal contacts withthose whom thev recommended.227*^^^^^^^^^^)<^><^<^^^^>^^^><^5(^<^><^<^><^^^^^<^<^^^^><^<^^^(^<^*i|c Wfje ©ntòergttp of Ctncago jWaga?me |Editor and Business Manager, Allen Heald, '26Advertising Manager, Charles E.

Applications each fall nowexceed the number which the authoritiesare willing to admit. Chicago is not inthe race for the biggest student body inAmerica.But like every other great university,Chicago needs more students of a certainsort : more students whowill contribute to the rich-ness of its life, who willdevote themselves whole-heartedly to itsstudies, its development, and its play. Nouniversity can have too great a proportionof such students ; and no university this sideof Utopia ever had enough of them.If they are to contribute the maximumto the University's life, students must comefrom many sections of the country. A student body representing a broad territoryis the safest insurance against provincial-ism. The University has always tried toserve American ideals, to derive its energyfrom American forces. Every state con-tributed money to found it. No sectionhas been discriminated against by its ex-aminer. The world at large, of whichAmerica is in many ways a composite, hassent students, professors, and ideas to theUniversity.« « «The University Examiner can take somemeasures toward a more creative, repre-sentative student body. He has alreadyestablished rigid tests, to eliminate from thelist those applicants who do not meet the first requirement : who do not give promiseof contributing to the University's workand its life. He may some day seek tobalance the geographic representation at theUniversity, and limit each area to its ownquota of students. But these are negativeways of dealing with the problem, andtherefore do not pretend to be a completesolution. Removal of the undesirables, andcutting down of over-size delegations fromany one territory, are operations necessaryto the work; but some active effort mustbe made to find more, and always more,wide-awake students from ali parts of thecountry to supplant those barred by theExaminer's office.John Meyer, President of the SeniorClass, in an article elsewhere in this issue,proposes a way of finding such students.He suggests that the Alumni, whereverthey may be, acquaint themselves withyoung people in their communities who pianto enter college soon, select those who givepromise of being Chicagoans of the besttype, and send the names and addresses ofthis group to an organization of studentsat the University. These students willthen send letters, booklets, special issues ofThe Daily Maroon, copies of The Cap andGown, etc, to the persons recommended,in order to acquaint them as thoroughlyas possible with the University. An ac-quaintance among so selected a group mustoperate to the University's advantage.Meyer's pian has been adopted by a large,influential group of Alumni and under-EVENTS AND COMMENT 229graduates. Names of promising sub-fresh-men have already been submitted; Communications, calculated to give these candi-dates some notion of life at the University,have already gone through the mails.The pian seems sound to us. Alumniare everywhere. They know from first-hand experience what qualities the University needs most in its students; theyought to be quick to recognize suchqualities. They serve their communities ina great variety of ways. The channelsthrough which they can gain the desired in-formation, therefore, are many. They canconfer with teachers and parents. Theycan talk to the prospective students themselves, and watch their activities over longperiods of time.We hope that you will try, by these meth-ods or any others at your command, tolearn what prospective college entrants inyour neighborhoood fit your ideas of thebest type of Chicago student.With your help, the undergraduates canintroduce the University, on terms of greatintimacy, to a very valuable group of futurestudents.PROFESSOR T. V. SMITH, memberof the Department of Philosophy andAssociate Dean of the Colleges, tells else-r. where in this issue of severalDemocracy . n , . , . ,. ni . innuences which so trainedat Chicago , . . . , ,rum that ne was able to wnteThe Democratic W ay of Life. Prominentamong the experiences to which he attrib-utes his democratic view of things is histraining in a college dormitory. "B Hall"at the University of Texas, Mr. Smithtells us, was a place where "no man wastoo poor to be accepted as leader if he couldlead; no man too rich or proud to beostracized if he showed the least inclina-tion to put on airs." Living there, he believes, taught him to think that the life ofscholarship "finds its highest mission in en-riching the common life," and to look forthe hope of the world in the ideal of world-wide, spontaneous friendliness.Such training as this may well be a col- lege's most-sought goal. Perhaps it can beattained only in dormitories, where chance,and not selection, throws students together, and decrees that they shall be com-rades night and day. Perhaps other agencies— classes, activities, even the fraternitiesthemselves, long pointed out as strongholdsof the aristocratic viewpoint — can be em-ployed to teach democracy. The collegesmay well study this question, and pian aprogram in the light of the knowledge sogained.The University of Chicago should provea favorable place for democratic training.Its students hail from everywhere, andbring interests and habits as varied as theworld is wide. The same may be said ofits faculty. Its studies take the universefor their province, and trust experiment andresearch rather than prestige and authority.Its home is a hard-working city that knowsneither what is ancient nor what is vener-able. This is fertile soil for democracy.Democratic training already flourisheshere. Few students go through the University without pretty thoroughly learn-ing one lesson that is important to suchtraining: to respect ability rather thanrank. The real scholar, whatever hisorigins, holds a high place in his classmates'estimation. Students in their activitiesmake a sincere and often painstaking effortto find the right man for the right job.The putting on of airs is promptly detectedand condemned. No man can wear a coon-skin coat to classes every day and be safefrom ridicule. (So, at least, we have ob-served. We have never made the attempt.)Many a fraternity punishes its membersvigorously for a slight breech of the rulesof democracy; and the student body atlarge treats such offendere by subtler meth-ods. Poor students and students from ruraldistricts seldom surfer long from inferioritycomplexes; students from wealthy and dis-tinguished families are often among ourmost friendly students and hardest workers.Of course, students err in their judg-ments. They sometimes mistake the showof ability for ability itself. The mistake230 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEis usually corrected ; but its results are some-times incurable. Fraternities and clubs,pledging most of their members in their firstweek or two at college, necessarily makemany false judgments,Fraternities and which they can nQtDemocracy ^^ Haying Uttletime to examine a candidate's merits, theymust depend to some extent upon thesmoothness of his manner and the prestigeof his family.To correct this defect, deferred pledginghas been proposed. This pian would givethe fraternities and the clubs a better op-portunity to make the freshmen's acquaint-ance ; but it would confine the benefits ofactive membership to a shorter period. Forthis and perhaps other reasons the women'sclubs lately rejected a proposai to postponepledging to the junior year.(Two other arguments often advancedagainst deferred rushing seem unsound tous. First, it is said that the cost of pro-longed rushing would be too great. Butstudents could easily agree to limit theirexpenditures on rushing; and few studentshere are anxious to spend excessive sumsof money. In the second place, we are toldthat deferred rushing, by giving freshmena chance to find out the real worth of thevarious fraternities, will prevent their join-ing any but the most powerful, and willthus increase snobbery. This would be trueif a few fraternities and clubs were su-premely desirable and the rest worthless;but here a great many chapters divide themerits fairly equally. The old rushingformula, "There's only three frats at the'Varsity," does not apply at Chicago. Iffreshmen sometimes have such a notion, alonger period for observation before pledging would convince them of their error.)At any rate, the danger to democratictraining from this source is not so great asan outsider might expect. A student isseldom convinced of his superiority or in-feriority because of the rank of his fraternity. Those not admitted at first,usually have ampie opportunity to showtheir worth later; and early failure to"make a fraternity" seldom hurts a man's later chances. The student who neverjoins a fraternity or club is under no lastinghandicap either in the activities or (gen-erally) in society.Obstacles, of course, must be removedbefore the University can achieve the high-est success in the teaching of democracy.The situation needs thorough study, andreasonable co-operation by students andfaculty. With such teachers of democracyas Professor Smith to guide this work, theUniversity can inspire its students abun-dantly with that generous, unforced friend-liness which alone can do the work of theworld.Geologist Alumni HoxorChamberlinIN connection with the recent meetingof the Geological Society of Americaat Madison, Wisconsin, the guest of honorat a luncheon of present and former Facultyand students of the Department of Geologyand Paleontology at the University wasProfessor Emeritus T. C. Chamberlin, nowin his eighty-third year, who for many yearswas head of the Department at Chicago andformerly president of the University ofWisconsin. Eighty were present, includingrepresentatives from the geologie staffs ofsixteen universities and colleges and manygeologists in governmental service.In his address on "Working ConceptsAppropriate to an Earth of PlanetesimalOrigin" Professor Chamberlin set asideentirely the Hadean idea of the interior ofthe earth, declaring that the liquid materialof the interior, instead of forming "a lakeof fire," is conceived as disseminated in minute spots, fìlms, or threads through thesolid substance of the earth. This conceptseems to be necessitated by the fact thatseismic waves, which cannot get throughliquid, traverse at least the outer seven-eighths of the earth's body without beingbroken up by encountering liquid or reser-voirs, much less a general liquid substratumor a molten interior.ALUMNI AFFAI R SEnglish Professor and Rush DeanVisit Milwaukee AlumniDEAN ERNEST E.

Provisionof a health service is in line with the prac-tice at many of the country's leadingcolleges.Laboratory fees were abolished becausean investigation showed that it cost practically as much to maintain the libraries,facilities of which are used without charge,as it did to maintain the laboratories. Itwas felt that the past practice of havinga $5 fee for each laboratory course con-stituted an inequality that should be elim-inated. Under the new schedule, with thehealth service fee added, students takingthree laboratory courses a quarter willsave $5, those taking two courses will payno more than formerly, while the totalincreased fee to students taking one laboratory course will amount to $5.» « «The New Director of the UniversityLibrariesTHE recently appointed Director of theUniversity of Chicago Libraries, M.Llewellyn Raney, who will assume his du-ties in the autumn, is widely known as anauthority on library arrangement for graduate study and has taken an active part inrecent years in discussions on copyrightquestions. In 1903 he was made assistantlibiarian at Johns Hopkins University,where he took his Doctor's degree, andbecame librarian in 1908. It was while hewas in that office that Gilman Hall, theJohns Hopkins library, was built. It isvery favorably known for its efficient arrangement of stacks, offices, seminar rooms,and reading-rooms for graduate work andthe use of the faculty.An active and prominent member of theAmerican Library Association, Mr. Raneyorganized its overseas service in 19 18 andwas in charge of its importation serviceunder the State Department.

The portrait,painted by William P. Welsh, a Chicagoartist, hangs temporarily in the QuadrangleClub, but it is expected that in the nearfuture it will find its place in the library ofthe Law School, where already are hung excellent portraits of Dean James ParkerHall and Professor Floyd Russell Mechem.Professor Freund, who is a graduate ofthe University of Heidelberg and the Columbia Law School, has been connectedwith the Law School since 1894, becomingin 1902 Professor of Jurisprudence andPublic Law. He has been Commissioner ofUniform State Laws for Illinois, and President of the American Politicai ScienceAssociation. Among his widely known pub-lished works are Police Power and Stand-ards of American Legislation.It is especially fìtting that just at thistime, when Professor Freund returns tohis duties at the University after long ili—ness and a severe surgical operation, the portrait should be completed and placed onview for his colleagues and students.¦jf^mFrom Professor Ernst Freundthe painting by W.

GreenSCHOLARSHIP ratings for the fallquarter showed Alpha Epsilon Pi, fol-lowed closely by Alpha Delta Phi, at thehead of the fraternity list, and Phi DeltaUpsilon leading the womens' clubs. Onlytwo fraternities were placed on the ineligi-ble list, while none of the women's clubsfell before the scholastic onslaught.The general average was slightly above"C." The women, as in the old Spanishcustom, led the men, their average runningslightly above a "C."

Con-solingly accompanying this announcementwas the notice of an increase of thirty per- cent in the number of students admittedto priority registration because of outstand-ingly good grades. This raised the total ofthe latter class to 600 — indicating that 600undergraduates carry "B" averages.The Freshman Class once more took thelimelight and announced the election of theirofficers. Daniel Autrey, Phi Kappa Psi,was elected president; Carol Cundy, Mortar Board, vice-president ; Wanzer Brunelle, Delta Upsilon, treasurer; and MaryAbbott, another Mortar Board, secretary.The Thirty-third Washington Promhas passed. And it was truly worthy ofthe thirty-two years of history which addto the glamour of the affair, that annuallyclimaxes the winter social season on thecampus. The night, a balmy, romantic one,was a genuine tribute to George Washington. Even the food served was delightful.At least 400 couples were present, but ac-commodations everywhere were O. K. andnone complained of elbows in his soup atmess cali. The drinking was at least not sovigorous as in some bygone days, and onemight even presume to cali the Promthoroughly respectable.À « «THE women's clubs have decided thattheir rushing system needs revision.They voted recently on a proposai to de-fer rushing until the third year. The pianwas defeated by a vote of seven clubs totwo.The pian was to eliminate ali freshmanand sophomore pledging. Then in the lastquarter of the sophomore year, the rusheswere to receive their bids. Favoring thissystem is the argument that the clubs wouldbe sure of their candidates ; that they wouldbe able to know them well over a period oftwo years; and that the candidates themselves would not be forced to go throughthe gruelling two weeks' melée in October.The principal objection is that the pianwould make the clubs mere honor societies,237238 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEand deprive the girls of two years of clubadvantages.At any rate, the women vetoed the pian ;and The Daily Maroon presented its ideason the subject, which were that rushing bedeferred until the third quarter of the firstyear. This seems logicai, since two quartersafford an ampie introduction to a candidate,and eliminates the needless two years' waitand the possibility of the clubs becominghonor societies.Professor Arthur P. Scott, who enter-tains a large lecture section daily, willleave the University for a sojourn in theOrient at the end of the current quarter.He hasn't said much about his plans, buthe will return to the University in De-cember, 1927.

After dropping the initial gameto Iowa, the team went up to Northwestern,where it lengthened away in the second halfto a 34 to 27 victory, after trailing at thehalf, 19-15. Fisher's four spectacularlong baskets gave the Purple the half ad-vantage. Chicago opened up in the secondperiod, and once started found little troublein cutting through for short tries. Gist,who took the floor for his first Big Tengame when Captain Sackett was injured,and Kaplan counted four field goals apiece,while Hoerger's thundering dribbling wasthe highlight in the Maroon floor play.The next game was with Wisconsin Jan-uary 17 at the Midway, Chicago goingdown in a fast, hard overtime game, 33 to30, before the Badgers. It was 27-all atthe end of the regulation play, but Mean-well's team showed superior strength inthe extra period, and won by outlasting theMaroons. Chicago could easily have wonthe game, but the team simply didn't getthe breaks. Three baskets in a row latein the second half when almost any sortof score would have broken the game werethrown out when the ofEcials spotted foul-ing an instant before the shot was made.The wildest long shooting seen on theBartlett floor in the last few years gavePurdue a clear 36-18 victory over the Maroon four days later. Wheeler, the Boiler-maker forward who had been a rathercolorless scorer up to the Chicago game,had a great night, ringing in nine baskets,most of them from far out on the floor.Wilson, his teammate, added another five,and with the Chicago team playing dull basketball, there was never any question ofit after the Purdue pair began to hit.The next game was on the twenty-ninth,at Indiana. The Maroons had begun toarrive by the time this game was played,and the Hoosier crowd was frantic when itfound the favorites trailing after a tightfirst half, 11 to 9. The Maroons couldn'tquite hold it through the second period,and Indiana finally crawled away to a 28to 23 victory. Norgren started Gist andFarwell at forwards for the first time ofthe year, and the change seemed to do theteam good.In the return contest with IndianaFebruary 5 at Bartlett Gym, the Maroonscarne through with the big upset of theConference race, surprising everyone notonly because they won, 25 to 21, but be-cause they played first-class basketball alithe way. Indiana took the half lead thistime, at 15-11, but Norgren's men held theHoosiers to one basket in the second period,and cool, competent playing got the decision. Gist and Hoerger were outstanding,while the graduation of Winston, Indianaback guard after the first Maroon game,weakened the Indiana defence noticeablv.THIr TrackHE track season, with victories overIndiana and Purdue in the first twodual meets, has started off well enough.Sickness has weakened the team but Staggstili has the best team in several years, de-spite that. The Maroons won from Indiana52 to 37, and the following week defeatedPurdue at LaFayette, 50^ to 35T/2. Chicago has a stronger team than last year,despite the fact that injuries and ineligi-bilities have deprived Director Stagg ofmany good men. Captain Burt McKinney,a first class hurdler and sprinter, had towithdraw from competition on orders from239240 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEhis doctor, who warned him that exertionwould aggravate a football injury. McKin-ney was unwilling to be a "bench captain"and tendered his resignation, Anton Burg,the Conference high jump champion, beingelected in his place. Among the good menon the Chicago team are Wakefield Burke,a sprinter and 440 man, a sophomore; DickWilliams, another sophomore, who is a topnotch middle distance man ; former captainJim Cusack, a star in the 880 and mile; andCapt. Burg, not only an excellent highjumper, but a point winner in the polevault. AH of these are excellent prospectsfor big meets. Dugan, in the mile ; Hegovicand Boynton in the 440; Kline in the shot,and Cody in the dashes are ali point menin the dual meets at least, and several ofthem are developing rapidly.Wrestling, Swimming, Gymnastics,FencingCoach Vorres' wrestling team has beendefeated in ali three dual meets, but noconstruction by the student body has beenexhibited. Northwestern won, 19 to 8;Minnesota, 23 to 0, and Iowa scored a 23to 6 victory.The swimming team, under Coach Mc-Gillivray, has one of the best collections inmany years, having several men who shoulddo well in the big meets. Wisconsin wonthe first meet, 35 to 34, when Chicago failedto place a man in the fancy diving. Thecrack Minnesota team, probably the best inthe country, won six out of eight firstplaces to take the second meet, 40 to 29.Indiana was defeated, 40 to 28, in thethird start of the Maroons. Oker and Hallin the backstroke; Oker and Noyes in thefree style short distances; Greenburg inthe 440; Wilder and Fellinger in fancydiving, and the relay team of Noyes, Oker,Ritterskamp, and Greenburg, are the bestof the Chicago swimmers. Oker is a realstar ; one of the best Chicago has ever had.Dan Hoffer is out for another of thoseannual gymnastic championships that hewins so unfailingly. The Maroons easilydefeated the Milwaukee Y. M. C. A., andthen took Ohio and Ohio Wesleyan intheir meets to date. Davidson is the cur-rent star of the gymnasts; he took three firsts against the strong Ohio team. CoachR. V. Merrill is building up another goodfencing team, a defeat by Ohio being evenedup with a victory over Ohio Wesleyan.Oak Park and Hyde Park are makingthe pace in the annual Cook County In-terscholastic Track Meet, in which 700preps are competing.

In the spring, the departments of the University will combine,under the Board's guidance, to add some-thing new to the Reunion program : an ex-hibition of the University to the Alumni.Later, the Presidente office, with the benefit of the Board's experience, will prepareletters, booklets, and bulletins, to carry tothe Alumni the latest news about the University. Other modes of attack, now un-thought-of, will suggest themselves as thework progresses.By such a general method as this, theUniversity proposes to achieve a new degree of co-operation with its Alumni, andto direct "a new force . . . towardstrengthening and advancing the University."The Story of the Universityof Chicago(Continued from page 220)it rapidly; indeed, we must do so; and ifwe can say that you have given us the site,it will help us immensely with every manwe approach.After a moment's reflection, Mr. Fieldanswered: "Well, I suppose I might aswell decide it now as at any time. If theconditions are satisfactory, you may say thatI will give this ten acres as the site."THE STORY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO 249He pronounced the points made in theletter sent to him satisfactory and thesecretaries accepted the condition named byhim, viz., that they should go on and se-cure the full $400,000 independently ofhis donation. The matter of the site fìnallytook the following form : Mr. Field gave tothe Education Society for the new institu-tion one and one-half blocks and sold to itfor $132,500 another block and a half, thethree blocks beginning at the MidwayPlaisance and running north along the eastside of Ellis Avenue two blocks to Fifty-seventh Street and east along the south sideof Fifty-seventh Street two blocks to University (then Lexington) Avenue. Thesethree blocks constituted the site afterwardtransferred by the Education Society tothe University.The impulse which we had assured Mr.Field would be given to our work by thedonation of the site became immediatelyapparent. We had been at work amongthe business men three months. We nowhad the names of twenty-three men ofwealth who had assured us of help, but wehad not secured a single definite, formaisubscription. During the week followingthe giving of the site, however, three subscriptions of $1,000 each and two of $5,000each were secured among the business men.The work among them went on from thistime with increasing success. The well-nigh universal attitude was one of sympa-thetic interest and of willingness and desireto assist. No men were ever better treatedthan were we two unknown solicitors formoney.Such indeed was the public sympathy andinterest that two independent, auxiliarymovements were launched that contributedgreatly to the final success. The first ofthese was undertaken by the alumni of theOld University. An inconsiderable sumwas subscribed toward endowing a chairas a memorial of a fellow-alumnus, EdwardOlson, of the class of 1873. Many subscriptions were made in addition to thosefor this memorial and there were receivedfrom the old alumni aggregate pledges of$30,000.The other auxiliary movement was in- augurated and carried through by theStandard Club, the great Jewish club of thecity. At a meeting held Aprii 8, 1890,the club voted unanimously to raise $25,-000 for the new institution. This theydid, the total pledges received from theJews amounting to $27,000. This movement gave a new impulse to our work.Men were found increasingly ready to re-spond to the appeals made to them. OnMay 1 we issued A Brief Final Statement,setting forth that $50,000 was stili lackingand must be raised during the next thirtydays, which was sent to a large number ofbusiness men. The next week the subscriptions reached $16,000. The week following they aggregated $30,000. We hadundertaken to raise among the business men$100,000. Including Mr. Field's gift often acres of the site, they gave us $200,000.The meeting of the Baptist NationalAnniversaries of May, 1890, was held inChicago. The interest of the entire seriesof meetings, covering a week, centered inthose of the Education Society. Dr. Gatessubmitted the report on the general workof the year and called on me to report onour joint efforts in securing the subscriptions for the founding of the new institution. In the course of my report this sentenceoccurred : "It was this universal interest andthis country-wide rally to our support thatsecured success." At this point I interruptedmy report and incidentali}' expressed thehope that the roll of states and territoriesrepresented in the subscription might becompleted. The officiai report of the meeting says :"At once two or three people are up tospeak for missing states. Maine, SouthCarolina, West Virginia, Utah, are in thefield so nearly together that it is impossibleto say which led off. Then someone speaksfor the Sandwich Islands. The states andterritories have ali answered. The doorsare opened to the nations of the earth . . .the nooks and corners of the atlas areransacked that the world may have a sharein the privilege of building the Universityof Chicago. It is a cheerful scene and yetwith an element of earnestness which thereport of it may fail to convey. The subscriptions are small, they are found when250 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEthey are footed up to aggregate but a fewthousand dollars, but they representhearty congratulations and a very wide-spread sympathy."The total subscription of the year, in-cluding ali pledges, was found to amount to$549,000. It was approved and accepted byMr. Rockefeller. A great jubilation meeting was held in the then newly completedAuditorium. As one year before in Boston,the great assembly united in singing theDoxology. Again the anxieties, fears,hopes, and ttruggles of the year had endedin enthusiasm, shouting, and songs of praise.The board of trustees was immediatelyappointed by the Education Society. Itsfirst meeting was held July 9, 1890, whenDr. Gates submitted an important statement from the Education Society, reciting"the engagements and obligations whichthat Society entered into with the sub-scribers" to the million-dollar fund and con-cluding thus: "We now commit to you thishigh trust. The erection of the buildings,the organization of the institution, the ex-penditure and investment of its funds, andBooksNew and Second-HandAnythingunder the sunyou may wantin the shape ofA Bookwe have itorcan get itorwill try hardat theU. of C. Bookstore5802 Ellis Ave. ali that pertains to its work, its growthand its prosperity is placed absolutely with-out any reserve under your control."On September 8, 1890, the trustees ofthe first University of Chicago changed itsname to "The Old University" and the waybeing thus opened to give the new institution its name, two days later the Secretaryof State of Illinois issued the Certificateof Incorporation to it as the University ofChicago. The second meeting of the boardof trustees was held September 18, mem-orable because it witnessed the unanimouselection of Dr. Harper to the presidency.The officers of the Board were E. NelsonBlake, president; Martin A. Ryerson, vice-president; Charles L. Hutchinson, treas-urer; Dr. Justin A. Smith (editor of TheStandard) , recording secretary; T. W.Goodspeed, financial secretary.At the end of the first fiscal year, June30, 1891, $160,000 of the subscriptions tothe $400,000 fund had been collected andthe proportion due from Mr. Rockefeller,$240,000, had been paid. The block anda half of ground purchased from Mr. Fieldwas paid for and on August 24, 1891, theEducation Society conveyed the entire siteof three blocks to the University. Thusthe Society, in accordance with the policyadopted in the beginning, "to exercise nocontrol over the financial affairs of the institution beyond the time when in the judgment of the board the institution is solidlyfounded," now withdrew entirely and,turning over ali funds and pledges, left thenew University it had done so much tooriginate to the sole care of its own trustees.The first million was now in its hands.(To be continued)À « «A Pioneer Alumnus(Continued from page 226)Seminary. He practiced medicine at Mt.Morris and in the neighboring town of For-reston until 1892. The only considerableinterruption carne with the Civil War. Dr.Winston was an ardent abolitionist, and because of this interest entered the army in1862. He was at first assistant surgeon ofthe 92nd Illinois Volunteers, and later surgeon of the I49th Illinois. He was inA PIONEER ALUMNUS 251General Thomas' Division at the battle ofChickamauga. He went part of the waysouth with General Sherman's army andhad charge of hospitals at Danville, Kentucky, and Dalton, Georgia. At the doseof the war he received the rank of Lieuten-ant-Colonel by brevit.His years of medicai practice were veryhard from a physical point of view. Onlya man of great strength could have flour-ished under such conditions and enjoyedthem. There were long night drives acrossthe prairies in the bitter winter weather,from which he carne back sometimes sonumbed that he must let the horse standin the harness until morning. Vacationswere unknown ; and year after year hewent on in the same routine between hisoffice, his home, and his long country drives.But no one who knew him could have failedto sense his tremendous interest- in life. Hewas never tired and never bored. The community consisted in the main of Germanimmigrants on their way from the stageof civilization represented by a two-roomcottage and a trampled, pig-infested door-yard to their present sound, if somewhatshiny and ready-made, prosperity. Therewere few places in the town, except in hisown home, where he found any sort ofintellectual companionship. But he was toodose to the basic experiences of human lifeto find it anything but engrossing. Notthat he had any sentimentalities or illusions.He saw especially the hard lot of womenunder these pioneer conditions. "Women,darkies and Jews have a hard time," hesaid, and he once announced that somewomen would be quite justified in puttingpoison in their husbands' coffee.An interesting element of adventure wassupplied by the periodical battle against theopen saloon. Dr. Winston had been wit-ness to the tragedies caused by the use ofalcohol, in its insidious as in its brutal as-pects, and has been always eager to combatthis evil. About every two years the issuearose and the vote was dose and wavering.Yet despite his activity many of the saloon-keepers were his best friends.

The doctor argued thatthe patrons must have some sort of recrea-tion if their old loafing place was deniedthem. His position was more novel thenthan now.Ali his life he had great interest in education and wished to see ali his seven chil-dren college graduates; an ambition whichhe achieved with effort and sacrifice. Theolder children attended Eastern collegesand the University of Wisconsin ; and whenthe University of Chicago opened, he andhis family took up residence in Chicago, hegiving up his practice in Ogle County atthe comparatively early age of sixty-three.Here his two youngest children were gradu-ated: Charles S. Winston in 1896 andAlice Winston in 1898. (The latter tookher Master's Degree at the University in1903.) Three other children have takengraduate work at the University. Theyare A. P. Winston, A.B., Wisconsin, andPh.D., Cornell, now Professor of Economics at the University of Texas; Mrs.Mary W. Newson, A.B., Wisconsin, andPh.D., Goettingen; and Airs. Eugenia W.Weller, who took her Master's Degree atthe University.In 1906, on account of the state of hiswife's health, which was supposed to beaffected by the atmosphere of the lake, Dr.and Mrs. Winston moved to Lawrence.Kansas, where his daughter had some yearsbefore married a professor in the university. In this same town, by a curious coin-cidence, Dr. Winston's old friend andemployer, George Bell, the tailor, had beenkilled in the Quantrell raid fifty years before.Mrs. Winston has since died, but Dr.Winston stili lives in Lawrence. He hasbeen fortunate in keeping health, strengthand interest until the last year or two.iii.it he has failed rapidly in that periodand must now depend on other people formost of his writing. He was much pleasedto bear Dr. King's article in The University of Chicago Macazine and is filledwith admiration at his alertness.MARRIAGES, ENGAGEMENTS, BIRTHS, DEATHS 253MARRIAGESENGAGEMENTSBIRTHS, DEATHSMARRIAGESDenton H.

Help him, if you can, to analyze therequirements of the business and comparethem with his qualifications.One of the most important bits of adviceyou can give him is to carefully select thehouse he is going to work for.

Amongthe candidates to receive the Doctor's Degree at the convocation of March 1926,was Miss Leila Houghteling of BrynMawr, 191 1, whose degree was conferredin the Graduate School of Social ServiceAdministration and whose thesis subjectwas "Standards of Living Among Un-skilled Wage Earners in the City ofChicago."Miss Houghteling had been a studentIN MEMORIAM 255in the Graduate School of Social ServiceAdministration for a period of four yearsand a fellow for two years. She had cometo the University with a distinguishedrecord of social service in the city ofChicago. After graduating from BrynMawr, she had taken some courses at theChicago School of Civics and Philanthropy,and become a member of the Staff of theCook County Bureau of Public Welfare,then of the Juvenile Court and then of theUnited Charities, where she was districtsuperintendent for several years. She hadbeen born into a tradition of public andsocial service, for her father had been ves-tryman of St. James Church, and hermother, for many years, a leader in civicand religious work of the city. She had,therefore, upon taking her degree an ex-traordinary equipment and she and herfriends looked forward to a professionalcareer of high accomplishment.After six months of vacation spent partlyin Europe and partly in the New Englandmountains, she carne back to the Facultyof the Graduate School of Social ServiceAdministration and took up her work asinstructor. She was immediately sum-moned to add to her duties as instructor,those of Dean in the Colleges, where shereplaced Dean Breckinridge. In both ofthese fields of work she showed remarkablepower and grasp and, especially, extraor-dinary sympathy for the problems of theundergraduate student both social andacademic. After a month of work she was,however, stricken by the influenza and diedon New Year's Day, 1927.The sense of community loss has beenexpressed in the editorial columns in theChicago papers (The Chicago EveningPost, January 4, 1927) and by formaiaction taken on the part of the UnitedCharities, of which she was secretary; ofthe Chicago Branch of the American Association, in which she had been an activemember; of the Immigrants' ProtectiveLeague, of which she was a trustee ; of theChicago Council of Social Agencies, and ofinnumerable other organizations to whichshe was contributing of her wealth of ex-perience and sympathy.
