VOL. 1- No.5POETS AND POETRY IN COLLEGE LITERATURE.By AN Ex-EDITOR.Not long ago, while conversing with an easterncollege-man on the subject of college literature, thequestion arose, during a discussion of the comparativestandards of literature in the East and West, as to thereal present value of our western college verse. "Thecollege .editors of the West have much to learn," hesaid, "in the writing and worth-testing of light verse;your prose matter is exceedingly good - in fact asgood as any paper in the East can produce - but yourpoetry - I smile as I use that word -is lamentablypoor."For once we arc compelled to take our medicinewithout our usual preliminary practice of penning poorexcuses. Our western verse, we are compelled to con­fess, is not only poor, but in nine cases out of ten, islamentably bad. In the first place, this is because wedo not give it the place and prominence that is allottedto it in the East, and which it certainly ought to have.In the second place; we discourage our aspiring poetsand rhymsters by heartlessly crowding their work outwith too much dry cut, practical, prose.What the UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY intendsto do, however, 'is to remedy these evils, and give tothe poets, and their poetry the place and prominencethat is justly due them. But it would be wise at theout-start of this surely successful scheme, to placebefore the poetical contributors to the WEEKLY somestandards or examples of the style and mannerisms socharacteristic to Eastern college verse, and by thusquoting freely from the college papers of the East, givesome idea of what is to be expected of them if theydesire to compete with Eastern college verse-making.To begin than - ever mindful of that polite phrase"Ladies first!" - we will quote a short poem fromWellesley's Prelude, the paper of Mrs. Alice FreemanPalmer's college-home.Ah! tell me what is happiness?I stood upon a little hill;The wind blew through my hair untilIt streamed out like the meadow grass.I tossed my head- above did passAthwart the 'blue, a wind-swept cloud­I tossed my head. I laughed aloud.Ah! tell me what is happiness? I stood upon a little hill;The wind blew with a bitter chillAcross my face and through my hair,That shivered with the Everywhere.I drooped my head: "Alas!" said I,Ah! tell me "what is happiness.One may find many and various verses in thecollege papers of the land written in strains very'similar to the foregoing. As a rule they are mostexcellent and very clearly and cleverly composed, butwe can only conjecture after a careful critical study ofthe whole subject, that they are either due to an "over­plus of thought" preparatory to term examinations,or a reaction due to a series of fearful flunks.Following the foregoing poem we give a poem infour stanzas clipped from the Yale Record which isexemplary of one third of the contributions to thatgood, old paper:RETROSPECTION.But yesterday, the woods and treesWere clothed in nature's garments green;The south wind murmured through the leavesAnd Summer reigned, a gentle queen.And then the Autumn's kindly touchThe sombre green in beauty dressed,In richest red, and colors suchAs dying suns paint in the west.N ow Summer's joys are gone and past,And Autumn's glories have grown dim,For through the leafless trees, the blastIs chanting Winter's funeral hymn.Ah me! How fast the seasons move(As I have finely written)Two weeks ago I stole her glove,But now - I have her mitten!Following in the same strain we give another fromthe Trinity Tablet, one of the best little college papersin the East.TWO TO ONE.We played at cards in early fall.The trump was hearts.

He played at church,We're one!N ext is a typical college poem which was evidentlywritten by one of hard experience, it is well named.A CONFESSION FROM ONE OF "THE TEAM."When first I came to college, as a quiet little youth,I said I'd always study hard-and thought I told thetruth--But now, since they have taught me the pleasure of foot­ball,I scarcely have a moment to look at books at all.In the morning and the evening, and all times between Itrain,And the strengthening of my muscles, leaves small timeto train my brain;What's the use of digging out of books all sorts of uselessknowledge,If I uphold in foot-ball games the honor of my college?But when from college foot-ball into life's foot-ball I go,Though I'll try to make some "touch-downs" andalways" tackle low;"Yet I'll leave my Alma Mater with small Conics and lessGreekFor I've elected foot-ball for eighteen hours a week!There is a prevalent malady among many studentsof the classics who have any pretension of a poeticalmind, to mix the words and meanings of two lan­guages so as to make an agreeable combination ofhumor. Here is an example containing a very quaintsense of Anglo-Latin humor:A MIXED CA.TASTROPHE.Puer ex Jerseylens ad school,Videt in meadowInfestus mule.DIe approachesA magnus sorrow,Puer it skywardFunus ad morrow;MORAL.Qui sensit a thingNon ei well know,Est bene for himRelinque id alone. The following light verse entitled "Phyllis andCorydon, or a Study in Pastoral Ethics," is a brightbit of poetry and comes from Vassar, where - as weknow - intellectual brightness abounds:Phyllis took a red rose from the tangles of her hair.(Time; The Golden age; the place; Arcadia-anywhere)Phyl�is laughed, the saucy jade, "Sir Shepherd, wilt havethis, ""Or," (bashful god of skipping lambs and oaten reeds)"a kiss?"Bethink thee, gentle Corydon! A rose lasts all night long,A kiss but slips from off your lips like a robin's even­ing song.A kiss that goes where no one knows! A rose, a crim­son rose!Corydon made his choice, and took-well, which doyou suppose?Cornell too has long held a place among the leadersIII the college literature, the representative paper ofthat college being the " Oornell Era.' We quote thefollowing light verse from that weekly.FOOLED.I saw her at the masquerade,Tried hard and long to please,But lift her mask-no, she would not!However much I'd tease.While in the shadow of a screen,Where we were hid from view,I placed my arm around her waist;Now, really, would not you?And as she closely nestled up,I downward bent and kissed her;But, oh! I knew that roguish smile­Deuce take it! 'Twas my sister.To make a brief summary of the subject as a whole,we may perceive at a glance that the predominantpart of all college poetry is characterized more by itsli.ghtness and brightness than by its literary value andcomposition. And yet, on the other hand, there aremany examples that might be quoted of purely poeticalcompositions, exceedingly praiseworthy.In regard to pure literary standards among the col­leges of our land, Harvard may be said to stand first;Yale, a probable second; Michigan university, third;Brown, fourth; Cornell, fifth, and so on down the list.But now since the University of Chicago has enteredthe lists of letters -well she is greatest in all else, andwhy not in this?A GREAT GAME.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY. 3FOOT-BALL REIGNS AND ROME HOWLS.-THE 'VARSITYAND LAKE FOREST ELEVENS PLAY A TIE GAME.­EIGHTEEN TO EIGHTEEN THE SCORE-=-THE GAME INDETAIL.One of the prettiest, cleanest, and most scientificgames of the 'varsity foot-ball season was played lastSaturday afternoon between the 'varsity team and theLake Forests, on the grounds of the Chicago Base­Ball Club.From the beginning to the end, the game was fullof fine runs, brilliant tackles and good kicks. And noone who witnessed the game will ever forget Wyant'sguarding, Stagg's hard backing, McGillivray's mag­nificent running, Conover's blocking, and. Chase'stackling; all of whose plays will go down on record asthe greatest of the year.As a whole, the team played the best game theyhave put up so far this season. The rush line, with" Stone-wall" Rulkoetter in the center, played likeone man-a man of Herculean strength and mightyirresistible motion. .The team play was excellent, and the plays wereperformed with the unity of military manceuvers andin clock-work regularity. There was no slugging.Hayner attempted to do dirty work all on his ownaccount in the beginning of the first half, but after hav­ing Conover's one hundred and seventy pounds of solidbeef and brawn come down on him in a way that meantbusiness, he quietly subsided and played in a gentle­manly, lamb-like fashion thereafter.It was a great game, and everybody said so, fromthe old college graduates and "has beens" of theother days who were lined up in attentive groups aboutthe "grid-iron" field, to the sturdy "subs," andinnocent little Freshmen, who brought along their dearsisters and sweet- hearts to furnish sport for the wiseand worldly Seniors. Stagg was at his best, and thegeneralship with which he captained the team broughtforth cheer after cheer from the enthusiastic 'varsitymen, and many a word of praise and pleasant com­ment from his old associates of Yale, who hadgathered to do honor to Yale's greatest pitcher ann.all-around athlete.It was 3 :30 p. m. when the game began, and agreat crowd resplendent in the gold of Chicago andcrimson of Lake Forest, had arranged itself along theropes around the field; ready and willing to spur theirrespective teams and favorites on to victory. But thecolor of the golden-rod was far more prominently dis-.played, and as was to be expected, had a much largerbacking than did the colors of the Foresters from thevillage beside the lake, to the north. A light wind was blowing across the field from thenorth, when the two teams came on the field and linedup for the first half of the game.The players and positions were as follows:McHatton - - Right half-back - StaggHayner Right end ChaseGalloway - Right tackle WyantFlint Right guard KnappHunt - Center - RulkoetterMcGaughey - Left guard - SmithWolsey - - Left tackle BrennemanMcN ary Left end - ConoverJackson Left half-back McGillivrayWilliams - Full. back RappDurand - - Quarters - RaycraftHeyworth, Yale '90, umpire; McCord, Princeton, 89, referee.The Lake Forest won the toss, and taking the ball,lined up in a V towards the south goal. The call of" Time" had no sooner been gi ven by Mr. McCord,than the ball was passed back to Jackson and theForesters came on with a hard wedze The Chicaco0::> • 0::>rush line, however, was on them in a second's time ,and scattered the oncoming mass like straws before awhirl wind. But the onslaught proved too strong, forJackson, dodging through one of the wide gaps madeby the 'varsity line when they struck the wedge,cleared the struggling mass of humanity with a bound,and scam pered down the field for the first touch -downwith the ball safely lodged under his arm, amidstthe pandemoniac yell" Hi-hi-hi!Siss-boom-ba!'Varsity, 'varsity;Rah, rah , rah!"of the Lake Forest contingent.Goal was then immediately kicked by Williamsjust one minute after the call of time. Score, L. F.6; Chicago, O.Stagg then took the ball and, forming a V in thecenter of the field, gained twenty-five yards before hewas downed by McNary. The playing was now fastand hard, and Chicago was beginning to warm up tothe work. Knapp was given the ball and started on agood gain around the left end, but lost the ball on be­ing tackled by McHatton.The Foresters now took the ball and McHatton wassent around the left end well guarded by Williams andDurand, but was brought down by Stagg's hard tackle.The Lake Forests continued to play around the ends,but were unable to gain ground owing to Chase'sstrong tackling. On the third down with no gain,Williams punted to the center of the field, and Ray-4 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.croft, who was playing back in Rapp's place, fell on theball, securing it for Chicago. Brenneman was nowgiven a chance to show his strength, and gained fiveyards between guard and tackle on a hard back. Playnow followed play through the center, Wyant, thegiant of the team, put his head down and ploughed hisway through the Foresters' line between left tackleand end for a gain of ten yards. Stagg took the balland gained ten more in the same direction. The ballwas now but ten yards from the Lake Forest goal andthe playing was hard and strong. Knapp was giventhe ball and lessened the distance by eight yards.Now came the supreme test. Raycroft glanced eagerlyback at Stagg for the signal, while Wyant and Rul­koetter braced themselves for the work. Stagg hesi­tated a moment, and waited until Wyant was thor­oughly prepared. "4-11-44!" he suddenly shouted,and, as Wyant tore a hole big enough for three mento go through in the opposing line, the doughty littleStagg shot through the opening like a streak of lightand crossed the line full length for the first touch­down, and again pandemonium reigned and Romehowled. McGillivray then kicked a pretty goal,making the score L. F., 6; Chicago, 6.Lake Forest now brought the ball out in the centerand gained five yards on a V, Wyant breaking throughthe wedge and bringing McHatton, who had the ball,down in his tracks.Jackson, the Foresters' feather-weight half-back,now took the ball, but was downed by Chase with ahard low tackle as he came around the right end.By rapid end plays, the ball was now broughtwithin two yards of Chicago's goal line. The LakeForest men then began to back the center, but" Stone­wall" Rulkoetter and gigantic" \Villie" Wyant wereadamantine in their strength, and the Foresters fellback exhausted and panting from the trial. Afterthree unsuccessful center plays, the ball was given tothe Chicagos, who were now playing like all possessed.Stagg took the ball and, guarded by Wyant, madeten yards through the center. Rapp now took theleather oval and, tucking it under his arm, put his headdown hard and dove through the line before theForesters knew what struck them, gaining fifteen yardsby his masterly buck. The ball was now on LakeForest's twenty-five yard line, and Stagg and Wyantwere playing the best game they' knew how to put up.Again the signal was given and Raycroft passed theball back with a "swish." Stagg caught it andstarted with might and main around the left end withthe whole Lake Forest eleven down close at his. heels;McGillivray, however, stood still. He knew the signaland waited patiently for the moment of execution to come. "Hip!" yelled Stagg, as he passed him andthrew the ball with true aim back into Cliff's waitingarms. " Come on, Mack!" shouted Chase as the twomen dodged past the oncoming tacklers and ran aroundthe end from which Stagg had first started, with aclear field before them to the goal. It was the criss­cross trick and the Foresters had been completelyfooled.McGillivray, after touching the ball down straightbehind the goal, came out to the fifteen yard line andkicked another beautiful goal. Score, Chicago, 12;Lake Forest, 6.The Foresters were not to be outdone, however,and after another ten minute struggle, McHatton brokethrough the line and scored the second touch-down forthe Lake Forests, Williams again kicking goal. Score,12-12.The half closed with the ball in Lake Forest'sstain ping grounds.In the second half Chicago started off with a strongwedge, but, after gaining twenty yards on hard back­ing and end plays, lost the ball on a fumble. . TheForesters now went in to win, and rushed the ballwithin five yards of Chicago'S goal posts, and thosekicking through Williams' and Durand's guard broughtMcHatton down with a loss of two yards, but all to nopurpose, for not three minutes afterwards McHattonwent through the center for his second touch-down.Williams, the Foresters' full-back, kicking goal,brought the score up to 18-12 in Lake Forest's favor.Chicago now took a strong brace and Clifford Me­Gillivray, with his long hair streaming in the wind,came from behind the wedge and gained fifteen yards.Stagg, by a masterly run around left end, made twenty­five more. Rapp was given another chance and wasrushed along between right guard and tackle for threemore.The Foresters .now got the ball on a fumble andrushed it back into the Chicago'S territory; but afterthe third down with no gain, the leather was againgiven to Chicago. The playing was now fierce and fast.Stagg made five yards, Chase two, Rapp three andStagg five more. Then came the play of the game."Third down! three yards to gain it!" shouted thereferee. Raycroft looked back at Captain Stagg andwaited for the numbers. Stagg took in the situationat a glance; " another criss-cross would save the day,"he thought to himself, and motioned to Chase to getready to guard off any men who would start for Cliffas he came around the right end. " 69-99-33!" hecalled suddenly, and Raycroft sent the ball straight asan arrow into his waiting arms, and with a lunge hestarted around toward the left end, where McGillivrayUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.was standing. "Go it, Cliff!" he yelled, as with asudden jerk of his arm the ball went sailing out towardCliff's expectant and open arms. Cliff caught it,started to run, and then dropped it again, the leatherball bounding along across the field in front of him.Without slackening his speed, however, he suddenlystooped down and snatched it up again, just as Chase,who had' been waiting for him, with a sudden lungesent Durand head over heels. The crowd had nowspread itself out upon the field, but Cliff, nothingdaunted; made a dive and, knocking over a dozen menor so who stood'in his way, sped down the field for hissecond touch-down skillfully guarded by Chase. Twominutes later Cliff sent the ball sailing over the goalbar for his third goal. Score, 18 to 18.The Foresters tried long and hard after that toscore another touch-down, but time was called beforethey had gone twenty yards. McHatton was the onlyman hurt and his injury was but a slight sprain,Everett taking his place.OHARLES SUMNER PIKE, '96.MICHIGAN WINS.This afternoon at Toledo, Ohio, our home elevenhas been beaten by the score 18 to 10.

Y., Oct.26-30. Our delegates were Messrs. Mills, Stucker andCase. Their reports were very interesting, showingthat the motto of the conference was, "The Worldfor Christ." There were over two hundred dele­gates present, representing thirty divinity schools.The Missionary society will hold its regular meet­ings every two weeks in the chapel at 7 p. m. Thenext meeting will be Nov. 17.It is expected to have some speakers from abroadsoon. Such men as Dr. Paton, Robert Spear andothers. Dr. Mabie is expected Dec. 15.It is expected that a local Inter .Seminary Mission­ary Alliance will be formed in Chicago. Two men areto be appointed as a committee from our Divinityschool to meet delegates from the other seminaries toconsider such a plan. There are six theological schoolsin Chicago and its immediate vicinity.STEWARD AND PROPHET.Following is a remarkable augury in verse by ourgenial Hammond. It was written four years ago at areunion of his fraternity. Its theme is the downfall ofthe old P8i U chapter at the olel University of Chi­cago:" We were vanquished by misfortuneBut our courage has not failed;We have lost a hard fought battle,But our spirit has prevailed.And we've made a resolutionThat, come whatever may,There shall be an institutionAt no very distant day,In our much abused ChicagoThat shall grandly lead the van.We have set the ball a rolling,And we'll roll it, to a man.There are millions in it, brethren,There is brain and there, is brawn.We will make an Alma MaterThough our Alma Mater's gone.-A member of the physics class, who went 'onton an original investigation of the velocity rate inhuman bodies projected from cable cars, has gone inagain. The doctor writes that he cannot send in hispromised article on the question for several moons." What is this noise � It even penetrates the studi­ous quiet of our quadrangles. Some sayan electionis going on. Otherwise we should have imagined acircus in progress. But now we remember that as aresult of the rotten political system in vogue in ourcountry to-day, the uneducated masses are allowed tohow 1 and fuss and stew once every four years. Andfor w hat � Simply that certain blockheads are covet­ous of the position of certain figureheads filling federal,state and local positions."And there usually follows an editorial of a Utopiangovernmental theory. But all this is past. For an­other four years we shall have nothing except the oldstandbys as editorial material; attendance at chapel,fraternities, and the World's Fair.6 ' UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.PUBLISHED WEEKLY IN THE INTEREST OF THE STUDENTS OF THEUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO.EDITOR,ASs'T EDITOR (Divinity School)ASS'T EDITOR (Freshman Class)BUSINESs MANAGERS, E.
