Unif)ersity of Chicago WeeklyOIIIOAGO, ILLINOIS, NOVEMBER 26, 1892.SINGLE COPIES10 CENTS.AN APOLOGY.The article published two weeks ago, entitled" AnOutsider on the Theologues," was such, we believe, inboth content and intent as not only to warrant but ap­parently even to challenge a reply.In all that may hereinafter be said, we shall en­deavor to be free from all opprobrious language andall particular insinuations. In respect to the threecharges which were made with so much flourish andrhetorical display, so decorated with mythical allusionand bolstered with poetical quotations, we shall notwholly deny nor yet in any degree attempt. to palliate,but shall examine these charges one by one, as to theirjustice and to what extent they apply peculiarly totheologues.We frankly acknowledge individual peculiaritiesand peculiarities which are common to us as to otherbodies of men engaged in similar occupations, withsimilar objects in view. We heartily share the wishof Robbie Burns, "To see oursels as ithers see us,"but when that "ithers" becomes so attenuated in itsmeaning as to embrace only the private opinion ofone. mind, and that opinion based upon an evidentmisconception of facts, we must at once reject its con­clusions.First, we are charged' with being clannish. This is'rather a serious charge, if the facts prove it to be so.How was this conclusion reached? V'vT as it an intuition,an induction or a conclusion from logical premises?Or shall we not rather say that the" Outsider" en­veloped himself in his own "state of ecstatic ideal­ism" and painted in glaring colors the faults of aclass of men which existed only in the constructions of. � fertil� imagination? Weare clannish. If so, whereshould we most expect to find evidences of this? N at­urally at the general meetings of the university, aschapel exercises, lectures, church services, and so forth.Do we attend these in phalanx? Do we stand off andwith Pharisaical formality refrain from every lightthought, and continually wear an expression of seri­ousness? Do we unceasingly manifest the "Odi­vulgus-profanum ". spirit? Such would be the im­pression one not acquainted with the facts would re­ceive from the first general criticism which has beenoffered on the theologue. VOL. 1- No.7The facts, on the other hand, will show that at everyuniversity exercise at which there is expected .to be ageneral attendance of the student body, the theologuesare generally there in a larger per cent. than the stu­dents of any other department of the university. Ifon such .occasions he "doesn't mix," perhaps the faultis not all his. The graduate school has its variousclubs to enhance lines of investigation in the interestsof special departments. Shall we charge the membersof these organizations with exhibiting a clannishspirit? Far from it. Rather encourage every means,whether by organization or otherwise, for studyingtruth. And those means and methods which we our­selves employ, certainly we are liberal enough to grantto others without at the same time. deriding them asclannish.The theologue is generally" more concerned abouthis mental and moral condition than his physicaL"This is the second charge. The writer declares thistrue of others besides theologues.We here .commend his veracity and frankly admitthat this is a charge to which students very frequentlyare open. Had the writer stopped here, we shouldhave high. regard for the profound thought which hemust have given his subject, as well as his fairness ofpresentation. But when he specializes and indulgesin a meteoric display of rhetorical flashes and metricalquotations with the evident intent of stabbing the theo­logue, we lose our (at least) regard for the motive whichprompted his effort. But now is this true of the the­ologue of our school?Upon what ground shall one base his authority forthis assertion within four weeks of the opening ofthe university? The Divinity school has her quota ofmen on the football team. What other data havewe for drawing conclusions as to physical culture? Asfar as exercise goes, we ire certainly on a par with theother departments of the school. We surely possessand exercise the prerogatives of the pedestrian, and inthese consists the sum total at present of opportunitiesfor physical culture.Perhaps we are paying too much attention to ourmental and moral condition; if so, the "outsider" hasbeen the first to sound the tocsin of alarm, and let usshow him proper deference for his kindly suggestion.DORMITORY ETIQUETTE.It would seem that there ought to be no occasionfor the discussion of the above subject. But the ex­perience of a few evenings in any of our dormitorieswould convince anybody to the contrary.The supposition is that most of those gathered hereare here for work. If there is anyone here with anyother motive, the sooner he leaves the better for allconcerned. Nor does his having any other motivelicense him to disturb those of his neighbors who wishto do good, solid work. It is a very common thing tohear some person or persons singing at the top of theirvoices. It always occurs at just that moment whensome of their neighbors are digging in the depths foran Arabic, Syriac, or Hebrew root, or when he is try­ing to solve the most abstruse problem of his mathe­matics.It is exceedingly unpleasant, also, to be a wakenedat the midnight hour by your neighbor playing hisirrepressible mouth organ. This is worse than" chinmusic." Then again some of the boys have a fond­ness for engaging in loud and prolonged economic ortheological arguments. Worst of all, on these occa­sions their transom is invariably open.There are other things which we might speak of,but it would seem that a word would be sufficient insuch a matter."Now, Brethereri," do have some consideration ofyour neighbor. If you m/ust argue, close your tran­som. If you muet playa harmonica, play those gentle,melodious airs suited to "soo'the the savage breasts"around you.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.But what is the primary object of a course of theologi­cal training? Is it to skim Ugldly over a course ofstudy whichhas been wisely laid out so as to yield thegreatest possible benefit to the student, or to go asdeeply as possible into those truths which he studies?Evidently the latter.Let us as students be sure that ours -is the menssana even if we do occasionally read" a chapter or twoof some dry work, whose aroma will perfume futuresermons with the odor of an a nresthetic. " Let us alsosee that this mens sana be in corpore sano. Then shallwe be prepared not only to appreciate the more pro­found teachings of the word, but also to translatethem into practical Christianity.Third. We" are not cultivating a sympathy forall forms of human life."It is hard to tell just what the writer meant bythis. If be means that we are dealing in theories andabstractions with regard to the problems and ques­tions which concern our profession, he is thus far cor­rect. But if he means that this is done to the ecciu­sion of practical Christianity, then the facts againundermine the- whole structure of his criticism and itpasses for only a rhetorical exercise without the leastshowing of a factual basis. Out of one hundred andeighty divinity students! over one hundred are everyweek doing practical mission or ministerial work, eitherunder direction of the city mission society, or in con­nection with churches in neighboring fields. Nor isthis work do"ue at "long range or by proxy." N or isit done on the fine avenues and boulevards of the city,but among the lowest classes and those most destituteof temporal and spiritual necessities. Will our grad­uate student say that this "is making th� church askeleton and her organization a dry waterway? "We recommend him to look into this and see ifthe theologue's work consists entirely in ., mentallymoving among the masses and classes." The theo­logical department of the University of Chicago is thestrongest possible testimony to the fact that the theo­logical training of .to-day is eminently practical/ andfar from "driV1;ng the real church into the street," issuch as would carry the real church into the street, ifneed be, to those whose lives are sunk in sin and mis­ery, bringing to them the shn ple story of Him wholed his disciples among all people, teaching them, notonly the most evident truths, but also the subtler andless evident benefices of a Gracious Providence."If a man knows, and knows not that he knows,he is asleep, wake him.""

Certainly no simplercontrivance has been able to give so great a return inthe way of sport and play. Hence it is not at allsurprising how universal the use of the ball has been inall times. Its orthodoxy as an instrument of pleasureand sport would very soon be settled by an applicationof the church principle with which ex-President Whitehas made us so familiar in his ' 'Warfare of Science;"for the ball, in some form or other, has been used"always, everywhere, and by all, " from our Darwinianancestors, the monkeys, with their cocoanuts, to ourmodern collegians with their baseball and football.Although 'football is not so ancient a sport as someforms of handball, it easily lays claim to the reverenceof a great antiquity. If, as some suppose, Americaexisted long before the other continents had seen thelight of day, it is possible that football was knownhere, where it has become so popular, long before itwas ever played on European soil and before there wasany European soil on which to play it. For theWashoe Indians, of N evada, have a species of footballof which they are very fond. Be that as it may. Atall events, it is certain that those paragons of cultureand refinement, the ancient Greeks, had a game of ballwhich very much resembled modern football. It wascalled E7rUTKVP°'>, and was played by two partiesopposed to each other. The Romans, too, had a gamevery much like the common game of to-day. BasilKennet thus describes it in his "Romre AntiquesNotitia": "a larger kind of ball which they playedwith, dividing into two companies, and striving tothrow it into one another's goal, which was theconquering cast. " This certainly sounds like football.Moreover, the game was called harpastum, derivedfrom the Greek verb meaning to seize. If a name sig­nifies anything, here is another reason for regardingthis Roman game as a sort of football. The Romanswere also fond of playing with a large inflated ballcalled follis. But there seems to be no evidence thatthe sport so often referred to by Latin writers as loUiswas anything but a species of handball.In England, which may truly be called the home offootball, it has been played for centuries. It is verypossible that the Romans introduced it. Its generallocalitat was the northern counties, while cricket was 3more common and popular in the southern districts.In Chester it was played for centuries, and thechroniclers say that the first football was the head ofa Dane. Some people nowadays regard football as anexceedingly ghastly game. They no doubt will havea sort of "I told you so" feeling when they hear thatso gruesome an object as a Danish warrior's skull onceafforded the means for carrying on the" barbarousgame of football. "In Chestertown the annual game was played onShrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday.. Indeed, for centuries whenever football was played inEngland, Shrove Tuesday was the great football festival, like Thanksgiving Day with us. The connectionbetween the game and the day is not known, but itsspecial character as the ., Football Day" par excellenceis well proven by numerous authorities.At Derby, too, the game had been played for cen­turies. The tradition is that it was intended as a com­memo ration of a victory over the Romans in the thirdcentury. In 1829, an eye-witness describes the gameas being played by the parishes on opposite sides. Thegoals were distant objects prominent in the landscape,and the game was played in the most rousing cross­country fashion imaginable. The number of playersaltogether was more than a thousand, and the onslaughtwas a terrific one, as may well be supposed. To quotethe historian: "Broken shins, broken heads, torncoats, and lost hats are among the minor accidents ofthis fearful contest, and it frequently happens that per­sons fall owing to the il�tensity. of the pressure, faint­ing and bleeding, beneath the feet of the surroundingmob. " Sounds a little like the newspaper descriptionof the modern rush, doesn't it? The writer goes on torelate how" the crowd is encouraged by respectablepersons attached to each party, who take a surprisinginterest in the result of the day's sport." This seemsstrange to him, and perhaps was surprising to manyothers at the time; for, during a considerable period,football was regarded as a decidedly plebeian game,with which gentlemen had very little to do.At Code Castle, on the Isle of Purbeck, footballhas annually been played (on Shrove Tuesday) sinceat least 1553, and probably from a much earlier date.Especially significant is it that here in an out-of-the-wayplace, removed from the influence of the schools andcolleges, football has been played for years. This fact,together with the Chester chronicler's statement that ithad been played at that town "time out of mind,"goes far to show how deeply ingrained in the traditionsand customs of "merrie 0 lde Englande" this "menieolde game" had become.Numerous other instances of places where football4 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.seems to have been a native institution might be given;where on. "Football Day" the villagers shut up thewindows of their houses, and turned out en masse,without distinction of creed, age, and, more surprisingstill, of sex, to take part in the general hustling. Un­doubtedly many persons will assert that the womenwho took part could only have been survivors of therace of Amazons. Nevertheless the statement is true,and at one place a game took place between the marriedand the unmarried women of the town.The first allusion among English writers to the foot­ball is found in Sir William Fitz Stephen's" Historyof London," published in 1175. This knightly disci­ple of Clio speaks of the young men of the city goingout into the fields annually on Shrove Tuesday, "onthe day quce dicitu« Carnilevaria," to play at the well­known game of ball.Football has always had enemies, and often royalones. In 1365, Edward III forbade football, but onlyon the ground that the playing of ·it hindered the prog­ress of his pet sport, archery, for the benefit of whichhe forbade other games; also Richard II passed a simi­lar statute and later kings often found it necessary torevive it, so popular had football grown in spite ofroyal proclamations.Another royal objector was that dear old pedant,King James the First, who in his "Basilikon Doron,or Manual of Precepts for His Son and Successor,"bars out of his list of good sports the game calledfootball, in this fasbion: "From this count 1 debarall rough and violent exercise as the football, meeter. for laming than for making able the users tbereof."In 1508, Barclay, in his "Ship of Fools," thusprettily alludes to the game, and shows how it waspopular in the country as well as in �he town:" The sturdy plowman lustie, strong, and bold,Overcometh the winter with driving the foote-ball,Forgetting. labor and many a grievous fall."It should be remembered that in England, wherethe winters are much milder than here, football isplayed almost as much throughout the winter as crickettbroughout the summer.Tbe same poet refers to anotber species of footballin which the ball had peas and beans put in, and wasthen tossed about among the country boys with a greatdeal of vim and pleasure."And nowe in the winter, when men kill the fat swine,They get the bladder and blow it great and thin,With many beans and peas put within;It ratleth, soundeth, and shineth clere and fayre,While it is throwen and cast up in the ayre;Each one contenc1eth and hath a great delite,With foote and with hands the bladder for to smite; If it fall to the grounde, they lift it up agayne,And this way to labour they count it no payne."A cross between bean-bag and football, one wouldsay. But notice how applicable the last line is to ourown football: "Ancl this way to labour they count itno payne." Surely the boundary between pleasureand pain is often but a slight one ..There were also other species of" football calledhurling and campball. But in their origin, hurling,camp-ball, and foot ball were identical, though theyhave given rise to three distinct modern games, hockey,Rugby football, and the Association game.Although football has been able to hold its own, ithas always received considerable opposition and attack.1 tis bighly amusing, to say the least, to read the stric­tures passed upon it by such honorable gentlemen as SirThomas Elyot in his" boke " called" The Governor."Tbis gentleman, as Montague Shearman remarks, had"a courtly hatred of anything energetic. " SirThomas Mildman, writing in the early part of theseventeenth century, thus delivers himself: " Inlikewise foote-ball is too utterly abjected of all noblemen, wherein is nothing but beastlie furie and extremeviolence whereof procedeth hurte and consequentlyrancour and malice." There is some truth in this, sofar as "hurte" is concerned, but there always havebeen and still are men of pluck and brawn who are notafraid of a little" hurte."But the most serious opposition came from thePuritans, who strongly objected to most kinds ofsport. The most interesting antagonism in this quar­ter is found in Stubbes, "Anatomie of Abuses in theRealme of England." After referring to "foote-ballplaying and other devilishe pastimes" as occurring onthe Sabbath and thus foreboding the pro cimity of theend of the world, be· continues in the most delightfulfashion thus: ' , Now who is so grosly blind thatseeth not that these 'aforesaid exercises not only with­draw us from godlinesse and virtue, but also haile andallure us to wickedness and sin? For as concerningfoote-ball 1 protest unto you it may rather be called afriendlie kinde of figbte than a play or recreation-abloody and murthering practice than a felow ly sportor pastime.

ALLEN.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.SOPHOMORE MEETING.An unsuccessful attempt was made last week to bringtogether enough of those expecting sheepskins in '95 toorganize a Sophomore class.Such a small number responded that it was thoughtunadvisable to effect an organization at that time.Some students had not yet received their advancedcredits, and in the minds of others there' was evidentlydoubt as to their exact standing. Those having work inthe Freshman year unjustly classed themselves as Fresh­men, even though they had several majors to theircredit.Through the courtesy of the recorder, was procureda list of students credited with advanced standing of fromseven to sixteen majors.To each of them a hireling of Mr. Wauamakerpresented a card apprising the recipient that he could havethe honor of being enrolled as a member of the Sophomoreclass, by meeting in the lecture hall at four o'clock onFriday.In pursuance of this req uest, a fair number met andformed what will be known as the" Class of '95."The meeting, as an ardent second year academicianexpressed it, "lacked the noisy juvenility of Freshmen aswell as the self-satisfied austerity of Seniority"-That happy state, content serene,'Twixt Autumn sere and Spring so green.After a short discussion it was decided to proceed toimmediate organization. .Officers of the class were selected as follows:President, T.
