Anderson, Burroughs, Drew, Hamill andSchmahl, for their services during the present year.On the recommendations of the retiring Marshals, Ihereby appoint Walter Joseph Schmahl Head Marshal for the year beginning July 1, 1899, and name ashis assistants Warren C. Gorrell, Walter LawrenceHudson, Walter Scott Kennedy, Ralph Curtiss Manning and Leroy Tudor Vernon. These appointmentsare made as an indication of the esteem in whichthese students are held in the University.* Presented in connection with the Twenty-eighth Convocation of the University, held in the Studebaker Music Hall,Chicago, April 1, 1899. HENRY VAN DYKE.We extend our hearty greetings to Professor Henryvan Dyke, the orator of the evening, a son of Princeton, of whom Princeton is justly proud. We thankhim for the suggestive and inspiring message whichhe has given us. In these days of Democracy's beginnings, for, in the history of ideas, a century ishardly longer than a decade, it is our most profitableoccupation to study democracy from every point ofview. Such presentation as that to which we havethis evening listened will enable us to understanddemocracy in its bearings upon the many and variousphases of life and thought. Again, I say, we thankour honored guest for this message which he has presented so eloquently and so impressively. We congratulate the University, of whose faculty he is nowto become a member. The University of Chicago andthe Princeton men of Chicago congratulate him uponthe new field of opportunity into which he is about toenter.And in the midst of these congratulations, the University of Chicago joins withxthe Princeton men ofChicago and with our honored guest in mourning therecent death of one whose life had been given toPrinceton, and through Princeton men to the world ;one known to all college men as the embodiment ofthe highest ideals of an officer of administration, DeanMurray, in whose removal not only Princeton has suffered, but as well the entire University brotherhood.DANIEL L. SHOREY.The University meets in Convocation tonight withone of its members missing, one who was a helpfuland faithful member, Daniel L. Shorey. Mr. Shoreywas a member of the original body of Trustees, and14 UNIVERSITY RECORDfrom the first meeting of the board to the last whichhe was permitted to attend, exhibited a devotion toits interests which may not be described in words.His contributions to the upbuilding of the Universitywere in three distinct lines : In consequence of hislong and varied experience in the practice of the legalprofession, he was enabled to give clear and valuableadvice upon the many technical questions which frequently arose and in reference to which the opinionof an expert was needed. As chairman of the Committee on Buildings and Grounds, he had opportunityto perform for the University an incalculable service.That he performed this service well, those will testifywho remember how ungrudgingly he gave days andweeks and months of his time to the service; how carefully he followed the workmen in the erection of everybuilding now standing on the University grounds;how diligently and successfully he planned and executed the necessary work of filling, and of plantingtrees, and shrubbery, and in general of laying out thegrounds.But his contribution was, if possible, still greater inthe heartiness with which he cooperated in every effort to reach the highest educational ideals in thework of organizing the University. His own experience as a college man, his large acquaintance withuniversity men, and his great familiarity with university ideas and ideals, enabled him to render service ofan invaluable character in the birth period of theUniversity.Mr. Shorey 's influence upon the early history of theUniversity can never be effaced ; his memory amongthose who were associated with him in this importantwork can never be forgotten.I ask you to rise and thus give token of the honorin which his memory is held.THE NEEDS OP THE UNIVERSITY.The public presentation of the University's needs,as in various ways I am kept informed, has come to bean old story. A story, however, always grows as itgrows old : there is always opportunity to add. I appreciate the monotony which characterizes the constant and repeated announcement of our needs.I do not wish the statement which I am about tomake to be regarded as the perfunctory performanceof a regularly recurring duty. I say what I say, notbecause it is a pleasure to say it, not because I receivecompensation for saying it, but because I know thatit ought to be said, because it is the duty of thefriends of higher education in Chicago, and of thegreat patron of the University, Mr. Rockefeller, tohear it. But what now is there to be said ? 1) The University has shown its right to exist. Inthe particular fields in which instruction has beenorganized, namely those of the arts and sciences, therehas been found to be large demand. Nor has this demand been attended with loss to any other institution. The University has created the demand whichit has supplied. Although nearly a thousand menand women are studying in the colleges of the University, the number of those who go East, and the number of those who enter neighboring universities hasincreased rather than diminished. There were morethan eight hundred different graduate students in theUniversity during the last scholastic year. If theresidence of these students had been arranged according to the ordinary scholastic year, there wouldhave been a continuous attendance through ninemonths of 517. This is a work which in large measurewould not have been done if the University of Chicago had not done it. When it is remembered thatthe graduate attendance of Harvard for the sameyear was 337, of Yale 270, of Columbia 302, and ofJohns Hopkins 208, it is not difficult to establish theproposition that seven years of experience have demonstrated the right of the University to exist. Itfollows from these facts that the future of the University, with a reasonably prudent management, is secure.Its three millions in land, buildings and equipment,and its six millions of safely invested endowmentfunds furnish a basis for future development. Thepossibilities of University work in Chicago have beenmade absolutely clear. If, today, only five institutions in the United States were to be selected asinstitutions of the future, the University of Chicagowould be one of the five.2) Now, if there is any truth in this first statement,the second is also true, that the work of the University of Chicago should be rounded out, its facultiesincreased to include all the work legitimately belonging to a university. The University has today, strictlyspeaking, only two faculties, the Faculty of Divinity,and the Faculty of Arts and Science. There is noFaculty of Law, no Faculty of Medicine, no Facultyof Technology, or Engineering.In these great fields of law, and medicine, and technology, there is still greater opportunity, if possible,than in the fields already occupied by the University,The work in many of the departments already organized is so closely interwoven with that in the professional schools that it cannot be adequately or satisfactorily developed except in connection with suchschools. The question has many times been asked :Why did not the University undertake this professional work ? The answer is simple enough. IfUNIVERSITY RECORD 15seemed wiser not to spread out, but rather to concentrate the income at our disposal upon that which isfundamental to professional work, and upon which theprofessional work might later be built. That thispolicy was the correct one, no thinking man will dispute. But now the time has come to finish the workof which only the first half has been attempted. Withone million dollars for law and jurisprudence, twomillions for technology, and three millions for medicine, schools might be established which would be onthe same plane with the work already undertaken bythe University ; and the work of schools organized onsuch foundations would serve the interests of all similar schools in the Mississippi valley. Why should thiswork be delayed ? There is greater need for it byfar than for any that the University is now doing.The time is ripe. With the magnificent laboratoriesalready erected for pure science, the basis for work inapplied science of every kind has been prepared.3) You will think the order of my statement is ananti-climax. A closer examination will prove thecontrary. Many of you will not be surprised when Isay to you that the facilities offered by the Universityfor physical culture and athletics (I do not have inmind the teaching-staff, but the gymnasium and itsequipment) are exceedingly inadequate. Indeed thisphrase does not describe the situation. The facilities are disgracefully inadequate. They are a continued source of discomfort and misery, both physicaland spiritual, to all who are obliged to use them. Thecase has become a very serious one. The building,designed to be used temporarily, for two or threeyears, is now, after seven years of use, rapidly approaching a stage of disintegration and decay whichbids fair to endanger the health it was designed tobenefit. Until the recent acquisition of the two blocksof land north of Fif t^-Seventh street, nothing could besaid, for there was no proper place for the erection ofa suitable gymnasium. But now that difficulty isremoved, and the erection of such a building couldbegin tomorrow, if the funds had been provided andthe plans were ready. I appeal alike to the friends ofphysical education and the friends of religious education. There can never exist at the University ofChicago a proper religious sentiment so long as thestudents are required to endure the infelicities andrisk the fancied dangers of the present buildingwhich is improperly called a gymnasium. We need, ofcourse, a chapel, and a hall for the Christian Association ; but the erection of a gymnasium would do moreto conserve the religious interests of the University,or to prevent the development of the irreligious spirit,than chapel, or association hall, or both combined. But, suppose the gymnasium were provided for,there is another need the greatness of which I amentirely unable to express. In another part of thissame decaying building used for a gymnasium havebeen placed over 'two hundred and fifty thousandbooks and pamphlets. They cannot, in the space furnished, be properly arranged or catalogued, and so weare unable to make the practical use of them whichshould be made. Thousands of these volumes, if destroyed, could not be replaced. The building is «o badthat every severe storm does injury through the roofto many volumes. If a fire were to break out, nothingcould save these hundreds of thousands of books. Iconfess to you, I never retire for the night without theterrible dread that perhaps before morning the librarywill have been destroyed. It is almost an act of criminality to incur the risk which every day confrontsus. But what can be done ? The library is insured,but in case of loss no amount of money could replacemany of its treasures. The Trustees appreciate thegreat responsibility which they carry in the matter ;but they are helpless. Some time, of course, a friendwill offer to build the great building which is to be thecrowning architectural feature of the Universityquadrangles ; but, I am daily asking myself, will he>come forward after the University's greatest treasures, its books, have been destroyed, or will he preventsuch a terrible catastrophe by immediate action ? Noman knows what even a week may bring forth. Pledging the friends of the University that as its presidentI will spare no pains to discover the benefactor whowill thus lift off from us this heavy load, I, nevertheless, here and now, wash my hands of all moral responsibility for a calamity the magnitude of whichwill only appear when it shall occur — which calamitymay an all-generous Providence forbid.Two other matters in detail I must mention, thoughbriefly.Nearly three fourths of the students live away fromthe quadrangles ; one-half of them at some distance.For these the University has thus far been unable toprovide any adequate accommodations during thatportion of the day when they are at the Universityand not in the lecture-room. As the members increase(this year nearly 20 per cent.), the difficulties of thesituation have become almost unendurable. There isno large library in which opportunity may be foundfor study. The lecture-rooms and departmental libraries are constantly occupied for their distinctive purposes. The men have no waiting-room ; the women,though two rooms have been set apart for the purpose, are crowded together in a way which is much tobe deprecated. The larger rooms in Cobb Lecture16 UNIVERSITY RECORDHall, once used as study-rooms by many students, arenow for the most part occupied for lectures and recitations. There are no rooms for literary societies ;none for student clubs or organizations of any kind.The Young Men's Christian Association occupies partof the basement of one of the buildings. There is,therefore, no place for student life in many of itsphases to develop. Besides this, for the hundreds ofmen who live at or near the University, there is nosatisfactory provision for securing food. This greatlack in our situation has been spoken of before. Itmust be remedied soon, for it is impossible that thepresent condition of things shall continue withoutdoing serious hurt to the University's interests.Tomorrow afternoon our honored guest, Dr. vanDyke, will speak at the University. At least twothousand will desire to hear him. The largest hallat the University will hardly admit one-third of thisnumber. A week from Monday next it is our privilegeto have as guest another distinguished representativeof the state of New York, Governor Theodore Roosevelt. Two thousand University students and instructors will demand admittance. The largest hall seatsbetween six and seven hundred. It is impossible, atany time, to have a meeting even of the undergraduatestudents, whose number now far exceeds the limits ofthe largest hall at our disposal. The most distinguished men of the nation have visited us, and inevery case we are subjected to great humiliation anddisappointment. Every day in the year we feel theneed of an assembly-hall. Without it we cannot workout that unity of spirit and sentiment which is soessential. The need is felt not merely for occasionalfunctions, but for the everyday life of the University.We are sometimes told that, since we have gonealong so well these seven years without gymnasium,library, a proper provision for the student life, andassembly hall, we should be patient and calm. Intime all these and much more will come. But thisthought no longer furnishes us the consolation it oncefurnished. Patience sometimes ceases to be a virtue.In the first years officers and students and visitorsclearly understood that we could not have everythingat once. But now the years are passing. Some of uswho ambitiously claimed to be young men when theUniversity opened its doors must now acknowledgethat old age is creeping rapidly on. We cannot affordto wait for time. Our friends who see these needscannot afford not to supply them. The city of Chicago cannot afford to have an institution which bearsits name thus humiliated and prevented from doingthe largest service for the city and the northwest. For how much could these needs be supplied? I mayanswTer the question in round numbers :The gymnasium, with fields for baseball and football, so arranged as to be available throughout theyear, and with an endowment-fund for maintenance,would cost not to exceed $500,000. — The library, whichis to be the crowning architectural feature of thequadrangles, and which should include all the officesof administration, should be built and its permanentmaintenance provided for with a sum not to exceed$1,000,000.— The clubhouse for students, with all thenecessary arrangements for commons, with a fund forthe maintenance of the house, should have $250,000. —An assembly-hall, with great organ, with all the conveniences for public and social gatherings, and with afund for maintenance, should cost not to exceed$250,000.In each case I have mentioned a fund for maintenance. This would be as necessary as the building itself, for today the University is without sufficientfunds to do the work which it has already undertakenand could not accept a building of the kind describedunless provision were made at the same time for itsmaintenance.4) I have spoken of the rounding out of the University's work, in law, in medicine, and in technology, andof certain very pressing needs in the way of buildingsand equipment. What has been said will perhaps prepare the way for what I conceive to be the climax ofthe situation. You have just heard me say how severely our patience has been taxed in these last yearsbecause of our lack of certain things at the University. I trust that your patience will be still more enduring than ours has been, at all events, until mystatement has been finished.The climax to which I have referred is this : Themillion dollars, in round numbers, needed to save thethird of the three millions promised by Mr. Rockefeller in the autumn of 1895. Of these three millions,one was paid down. A second has been made secureby gifts to the amount of at least a million receivedsince his pledge. It remains for us to obtain anothermillion before January 1, 1900, in order to comply withthe terms of his gift. In view of the importance ofthis work, everything else falls into insignificance.Law and medicine and technology can wait. Thebuildings, for which we have pleaded so often, andyet so in vain, can wait. But this particular milliondollars cannot wait longer than next January. Andso until that date we will do well to put out ofmind everything else. The necessity connected withthis million lies in the following considerations : (1)Each dollar of it secures another dollar. (2) If we canUNIVERSITY RECORD 17obtain this million, and with it Mr. Rockefeller's thirdmillion,* the University will increase its assets about22 per cent. (3) As has been suggested, this sum, andindeed more, is needed for continuing certain lines ofwork which have already been undertaken. In otherwords, if we fail in this effort certain important workwill of necessity be abandoned. (4) To have failed inthis effort will be our first failure in an effort of thiskind. It would be unfortunate and demoralizing tobegin to fail at this early stage in our history. (5) Notto succeed would be to acknowledge to Mr. Rockefellerour inability to do in good times, when our work hasbeen tested, what we were able to do when times werehard and before our work had been established. (6)It would be impossible, if we were unable to complywith the terms of this gift, to ask Mr. Rockefeller tomake a new gift, and yet this is the thing above allother things which we wish to do. (7) Not to securethis money is not simply to stand still ; it is to gobackward. It means that we may not round out ourUniversity work ; that we may not provide for what isabsolutely needed ; and more than this, that we maynot even continue all that we have undertaken. Thisis something which the friends of the University cannot contemplate for one instant. Our work has beendone, for the most part, since the panic of 1893. Itwould be pitiable indeed if we were to fail in thesedays of prosperity.I have made an honest effort to present the situation of the University to its friends. I shall not makeanother public statement upon this subject until success or failure has been determined. We have manyneeds, and yet, in all sincerity, from the point of viewof today, they resolve themselves into a single one —the need to raise the million dollars. It is unnecessary for me to add that by the terms of Mr. Rockefeller's gift the donors who contribute to this milliondollars may in each case determine for what purposetheir contribution may be used. In this connection, Imay be permitted to say that endowment funds aremore greatly to be desired than building funds.NEW GIFTS.It gives me pleasure to announce that, since the lastConvocation, the Alumnse of Dearborn Seminary havecontributed to the University the sum of $3000, theincome of which shall be used to endow perpetuallyan undergraduate scholarship for women. The nameof this scholarship shall be the Zwinglius GroverMemorial Scholarship, in memory of the founder ofthe old Dearborn Seminary. The committee throughwhich this was accomplished consisted of Mrs. William M. Derby, Jr., Mrs. Charles L. Hutchinson, Mrs. D. V. Purington, Mrs. Clifford Williams, Miss HelenV. Drake.It also gives me pleasure to announce that the lateMr. John Quincy Adams, of Wheaton, has bequeathedto the University the sum of $10,000 ; that an additional contribution of $1200 a year for five years hasbeen made for the College of Teachers by Mrs. Blaine,in order to make provision for additional space ; thatthe Philosophical Section of the Woman's Club hascontributed $120 for a scholarship ; that the Mine andSmelter Co., of Denver, Colo., has contributed a laboratory table, worth $185, to the Department of Geology ; that the trustees of the Newberry Library havemade arrangements by which the books of that library,with certain exceptions, may be used by students andprofessors of the University at the University, a service for which we are profoundly grateful.instructors on leave op absence.The following instructors were absent during theWinter Quarter, 1899, or did not offer courses forother reasons :Professors : Anderson, Farrington, Hirsch, Holmes,Judson, Michelson (second term), and Penrose ; Professorial Lecturers : Barrows and Gunsaulus; Associate Professors : R.

This new college has more than fulfilled theanticipations of the University in regard to its usefulness. Three hundred and three students matriculatedin the College for Teachers during the past year; ofthese 80 had previously matriculated in the University and continued work in the College for Teacherswhich had been begun in other colleges. Two hundred and twenty three were persons who entered uponthe work of the University for the first time.Of the 303 students 286 were teachers, of whom 31were principals.There were 28 graduate students representing 18different institutions/l including Harvard, Yale, BrynMawr, Smith, Wellesley, University of Michigan, Le-land Stanford, Jr., Dartmouth, and others.During the Autumn Quarter 265 persons pursuedcourses at the College ; during the Winter, 258.During the Autumn Quarter 367 courses were taken ;during the Winter Quarter 357, making a total of 724courses. Of these, however, 251 were Majors runningthrough two Quarters, leaving a total of 473 Majorstaken by 303 different pupils. It thus appears thatthe average student took about one and one-halfMajors in the course of the year.Thirty majors were offered, namely : 5, or one-sixth of the whole, in Pedagogy ; 2 in English ; 2 inFrench ; 4 in Latin ; 2 in Greek ; 3 in Mathematics ;2 in History ; 2 in German ; 2 in Natural Science, and6 in other subjects.UNIVERSITY EXTENSION DIVISION.^Besides the 286 teachers at work in the College forTeachers a somewhat larger number were engaged intaking similar courses in the Class-study Departmentof the University Extension Division, so that it is noexaggeration to say that 600, or more than 10 percent, of the total number of teachers in the publicschools of Chicago, have taken more or less University work during the last two quarters. This is surelya satisfactory showing and demonstrates the earnestdesire of the University to offer its facilities as far asUNIVERSITY RECORD 19possible to those teachers who desire them, as well asthe eagerness of the teachers to take advantage ofsuch facilities as are offered.The record of the Lecture-Study Department forthe Autumn and Winter Quarters shows that the total number of courses given was 122 ; the number ofdifferent lecturers engaged was 24 ; the reports on thetotal attendance at the lectures and the classes are notyet complete enough to enable us to make a statementof this point.The Correspondence Department of the ExtensionDivision continues to demonstrate its usefulness. Itis an interesting fact that during the last Quarter alarger number than usual of former students have resumed their work, which shows an appreciation of itsvalue on the part of those best able to judge.The class work of the University Extension Divisionhas shown a considerable increase over the work oflast year, as this work is essentially the same as thework in the College for Teachers. This is chieflyowing to the fact that Minors may also be taken aswell as Majors ; and to the further circumstance thatstudents in the Class-study Department are notrequired to matriculate, and that academic subjectsare also offered as well as college subjects. <-'THE ATTENDANCE.The attendance in the various divisions of the University during the Winter Quarter, 1899, was as follows :The Graduate SchoolsThe Senior CollegesThe Junior CollegesThe College for TeachersUnclassified StudentsTotal in CollegesThe Divinity SchoolTotalsThe enrollment for corresponding quarters in thepast years has been as follows : The University Elementary School.Men.

GROUP VI.[Continuation of work reported in the University Record,January 27, 1899. Average age of children, nine years.]The work in United States history has included theevents from the time of the French and Indian Warto the Revolution. Much of the work has been doneby giving the class reading selected from books adaptedto their age. In this way they have become acquaintedwith Edward Eggleston's A First Book in AmericanHistory; Children's Stories in American History, byHenrietta C. Wright ; Boys of '76, by Coffin ; Storiesof the Thirteen Colonies, by Guerber ; From Colonyto Commonwealth, by Moore ; Mira Pratt's historystories ; and First Battles of the Revolution, by JamesParton. The discussions in class bring out the mainfacts of the subject studied, and prepare the way forwritten narratives which form the children's recordsof what they have studied.The reasons for the French and Indian War werediscussed, and the effect of Braddock's defeat in bringing out the contrast between the British " regular "and the American soldier, and the beginning of thefeeling of power on the part of the Americans whenthey saw how little the English officers understoodthe methods of Indian warfare. A short biography ofWashington was read, in order to make more vivid hisfitness for leadership. To understand the physicalfactors in the French and Indian War, the naturalhighways of the Northwest were discussed, by findingfrom a map the names of rivers, and selecting thepoints which presented the greatest advantages forforts. In tracing these the children got a good ideaof the river systems of the middle states, and sawhow much success would depend upon intelligent useof natural conditions.The parts of the country held respectively by England and France at the final treaty of peace werenoted. Then the events leading to the Revolutionwere taken up.The children had an idea that in this struggle allEngland was against all America, and were muchinterested in discovering the attitude of Pitt in sympathizing with the colonists. The effect of the navigation laws in inducing smuggling, the search warrantsas a result of this, and the quartering of English troopsin Boston to enforce the laws, were discussed. Thefact that the colonists did not resent the tax as such,and the opposition as due to a feeling that representation was a necessary concomitant, were brought out.The "Boston Tea Party," the driving out of the20 UNIVERSITY RECORDEnglish troops, the closing of the port of Boston bythe king's order, and the effect this would have in depriving the colonists of trade, were read and talkedabout with the interest these subjects always have forthe American child. "What could be done by the Americans ? " was asked, and led to much serious thinking.The children saw that Massachusetts alone could notcontend with England, that all colonies were threatened, and she finally proposed the convention whichled to the First Continental Congress.The form of this congress was studied, and theDeclaration of Rights which was issued. The gathering of ammunition and arms at Concord and Lexingtonin anticipation of the coming struggle, the seizure ofthese by the English, the "Minute Men," PaulRevere's Ride, the battle of Bunker Hill, etc., weretaken up as events which introduced the greatconflict.From this point, in order to understand the greatness of the undertaking, a careful analysis of thesituation was attempted, especially the condition ofthe army when Washington took charge of it, and hisservices in organizing and training it.The knowledge of the facts which prevented extensive trade with England, whereby the colonists mustnow depend upon themselves for clothing, added interest to the work given the children in pioneer industries illustrated at, this time in the processes bywhich raw wool is converted into cloth. They cardedwool with hand combs, and were led to suggest improved methods until they saw the advantage of themachine card. A half hour a week was spent onthis subject.In science the subjects studied have been the thermometer and barometer, and their use in forecastingweather conditions. In the last report a descriptionwas given of the thermometers made. The childrennext undertook to make barometers. For these theyused mercury. In discussing mercury most of the children thought it would not boil ; a tube containing somewas held over the Bunsen burner until it vaporized,and could be seen collecting in small drops at theother extremity of the tube. They inserted glasstubes in a beaker of mercury and compared themeniscus with that of water, each child making adrawing of the two forms, and explaining the cause ofeach. They discussed the principle of the thermometer and barometer, and the boiling and freezing pointof mercury and alcohol.To find out whether the barometer could be madewith tubing of any size, they put water into a series ofdifferent sized tubes connected at the bottom so thatthe water could pass freely from one to the other and saw that the water rose to practically the same levelin all. From this they concluded that the barometercould be made of a tube of any size.The class has made its own observations of theweather, the temperature, atmospheric pressure, stateof atmosphere (cloudy or fair), and direction of wind,and compared the results with the official weathermap which is obtained for its use.With the aid of their maps the children found theaverage temperature and pressure in stations in thesame latitude, and attempted to discover to what naturalconditions the differences noted were due. This searchbrought out the differences in altitude, prevailingwinds, nearness to large bodies of water, and warm orcold ocean currents — whereby the children were enabled to get unconsciously a good deal of physiography. The discussion of ocean currents led to an examination of an isothermal map, and a discussion ofthe different zones, their temperatures and the approximate limits of each.The effect of color in absorbing heat was discoveredby an experiment. One thermometer was wrapped inwhite and another in black cloth, and both left in thesunshine for twenty minutes. At the end of this timea difference of six degrees was found — the thermometer wrapped in black having the higher temperature.The children were told of the experiment tried by theMissouri experiment-station of whitewashing thetrunks of peach trees in order to prevent the swellingof the buds during the warm days of winter, and askedto explain it in view of the experiment they had performed. They brought out the fact of the energy producing heat in the absorption of light by black, whilelight is simply reflected from white.In cooking, the vegetables which had previouslybeen studied and cooked in a simple way, were reviewed and the preparation of soups from them takenup. Potato soup was prepared, flavored with onion orcelery, and its preparation " white sauce " reviewed asto the method of mixing buttermilk and flour, withthe kind of flour to be used, and manner of cooking.In making tomato bisque soup, the presence of acidin the tomato juice was found by testing its action onmilk and comparing it with vinegar. How to overcome this action in order to combine milk with thetomato juice was found by trying the effect of sodabefore adding the milk.Onions were cooked as a type of vegetables withstrong juices, and celery as a type desired for its sweetjuices and flavor.The vegetables so far studied were then classifiedas 1) starchy, 2) containing strong juices, 3) containingsweet juices. As a type of the first class the potatoUNIVERSITY RECORD 21was given, and its method of cooking considered.Onion and cabbage were given as types of the secondclass, and the method of cooking in plenty of water(renewed after a short time, in order to remove part ofthe flavor), given. Celery, tomatoes, and carrots weregiven as types of vegetables containing sweet juices,and the method of preserving these by cooking in asmall quantity of water brought out.Spinach was next taken up as a type of vegetablesdesired for their mineral salts, and the method ofcooking given to preserve these brought out, i. e., thespinach after careful washing should be placed in autensil for cooking with no water except such as clingsto the leaves. Over a moderate temperature thiswater is converted into steam, and together with thewater contained in the leaves, is sufficient to cookthoroughly. By this means all the juices are preserved. The children were told, in order to preservethe bright color of vegetables used in garnishing meat,the cover should be left off in cooking, so that spinachor carrots cooked in this way could receive plenty ofoxygen, and the lower temperature at which they werethus cooked would prevent the fading of color,Following the classification of vegetables, an attempt was made to classify all the cereals that hadbeen studied, and to find a principle by which onemight know in how much water to cook any cereal.The children made a list of those studied, their weightand amount of water that had been used, and discovered that flaked corn required its weight in water incooking, and that any other cereal took as much morewater to cook as it was times heavier than flaked corn.Much of the number work of this group is done inconnection with tasks in manual training, science, andcooking. In addition they have had one period a weekin formulating the multiplication tables, and addingrapidly.Their work in manual training has been the makingof wooden frames for their thermometers and barometers, of a windmill and weather vane, and, by somemembers of the class, of small easels for holding photographs. Both the easel and windmill demandedconsiderable planning and accuracy in measuring,planing, sawing, etc. For the easel drawing of circles, oblique planing, and the making of a rabbetjoint were necessary.The drawing lessons have taught the children toexpress their ideas of a colonial interior. A good dealof preparation was necessary for this, and had beengiven them in different lessons before the whole wasattempted. From models they drew a girl spinning,various pieces of furniture, and the school gymnasium as practice in drawing the planes of ceiling, floor andwall. The colonial room when drawn showed widewindow sills, and small window panes ; a fireplacewith a crane, and a girl spinning.To give practice in quick observation and sketchingfrom memory, members of group posed in variousattitudes indicating action, for a few minutes, andwere then drawn from memory.In music this group has begun to analyze one 'of thesongs composed by a younger group and to write itcorrectly. They have had drill in distinguishing thevarious scale incidents, and in learning songs.In French the practice of learning words which willenable them to describe in French what they are doingin sewing, cooking, and manual training has been continued. Directions are given them in French, andthey signify their comprehension by doing the thing.Then they are required to tell in French what they doin answer to questions, and finally to go through theacts of making an article, describing the whole processin French.They have taken up the polite forms of address, inmeeting and parting from friends, and have dramatized these by having one member of the class personate a visitor, the other members of the class beingcalled upon to help entertain by singing a French song,the whole conversation, of course, being in French,Official Notices.Official copies of the University Record for theuse of students may be found in the corridors andhalls of the various buildings in the University quadrangles.
