HENRY DRUMMOND.WALKER MUSEUM. .!. .)University of Chicago Weekly.Single Copies,10 Cents. VOL. II, NO. 1.CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, OCT. 5', 1893.THE CONVOCf\TION�The fourth convocation with its dignified and beau­tiful ceremonies occurred on Monday night, Octoberzd, in Walker Museum, together with the dedicationof Walker Museum.In the columned hall was seated a great crowdof students and friends of the University. Inthe front section adorned with orange ribbons were. collected the newer element. Behind them sat theold students and the guests of the evening. Manyasomber cap and gown fluttered through the aisles andthe dark scholastic garb threw into bright relief thegayer costumes and the brilliant orange.From the first burst of orchestral music to thelast march the convocation was a magnificent cere­mony. About 8:30 o'clock the convocation proces­sion started down the grand south staircase andappeared beneath the national colors at the southentrance. With all the dignity of learning, moredignified in cap and gown, the march was about asimpressive as could be imagined. The convocationprocession was composed as follows:Chief ushers, President W. R. Harper, Hon. GeorgeC. Walker; Deans, Mrs. Alice F. Palmer, Profs. H.P. Judson, W. D. McClintock, H. H. Donaldson,Miss Marion Talbot, T. C. Chamberlin. Next fol­lowed the head professors, professors, associate andassistant, instructors and fellows.An orchestra played an appropriate march, andthe general audience stood up while the facultieswere taking their places on the platform. GeorgeClark Walker, the donor of the museum, took a seatto the right of President Harper and Professor HenryDrummond, D. D., of Glasgow, was seated to theleft. The trustees present on the platform, besidesMr. Walker, were F. A. Smith, Edward Goodman,.Rev. A. K. Parker, A. Mc Le ish, and H. H. Kohl­saat.The address of Hon. George C. Walker, present­ing the beautiful Walker Museum to the University,made the hearts of the old students and faculty toswell with pride and gratitude, and new studentswere filled with admiration and love toward the gen­erous donor. Mr. Walker's modest address brimmedover with pride for the great University, which hehad helped to build by his munificence. He wasseveral times interrupted by applause, which at hisclose was long and loud.Pres. Harper replied in a choicely worded addressformally accepting Mr. Walker's gift. Among otherthings he said; "The many separate educational efforts undertaken by Mr.Walker ha�e become unified and centralized in the University ofwhich he is an honored trustee. The facts show the long con­tinued, deep, and earnest interest which he has exhibited in thecause of education. For one, I rejoice that the building for amuseum has come to us before a library building. Books mustbe purchased and books will be contributed even if we lack abuilding, but collections are never given to an institution that hasno convenient and safe depository for them. I may be mistaken,but I venture to make the assertion that within the next twelvemonths this building will bring to the University material whichwould have cost the University three or four times the cost of thebuilding itself. For all such material received we shall be in­directly indebted to Mr. Walker. To-night we take possession ofthe building. To-morrow morning the scientific collections ofvarious kinds already belonging to the University will be placedwithin thewalls. To-morrow morning the work of research andinvestigation in connection with the lectures and class work of thedepartments of geology and mineralogy will begin. The buildingis finished, but none too soon."And now, with these few and ina-dequate words of introduc­tion, representing the trustees of the University and its faculties,I accept the building from its donor, Mr. Walker, and pledge himthat it will be sacredly devoted to the interests he has had atheart. Time will show him, as no words of mine to-night couldshow, our appreciation of his noble gift and the gratitude whichfills our hearts."Prof. Drummond delivered his address in a polished,easy position, but with dignity withal, with a voiceand a manner that were charming The acousticproperties of the museum, which was not designedas an auditorium, are not such that the speech couldbe clearly heard in the extreme back but those in themiddle and front were delighted with the eloquencewith which Prof. Drummond presented his moderntheories on "Evolution."II The eye of a university, busy in all thoroughness with itsdetailed lines of instruction, can never rest only on its own class­rooms. From time to time it must sweep the world, scanning thewhole horizon for intellectual movements, watching, in part ascritic but not less as herald, the later growths of thought; andabsorbing whatever is vital and sure into its future work andideals. And, in this whole building dedicated this evening toscience- and destined to be enriched with objects which will revealto coming generations the works of nature in orderly succession,it may not be inappropriate to speak of that great thought fromwhich this order comes."The business of a university is to equip men for the profes­-ions, for the arts of life. Yes, but surely also for the arts ofliving. Grant that men must he trained for advancing the indus­tries of their country, and that this is the first and direct objectof university work. Yet this is not all."The chief industry of a country is men. If a university, bythe thoroughness of its research and the sustained application ofits most splendid powers can affect the industrial movements of anation by inquiring into the application of electricity, into thechemical processes, surely the same research and the same appli­cation could in time affect the progress of a nation's social polityand morals, If a university sends out its expedition exploring2 UNIVERSITY OF CHI(:AGO WEEKLY.the bad lands of Dakota, equally rational is it to investigate the feller's $150,000, shall be secured by next July.

" building of the chemical laboratory, Mr. Kent, as has been indi-cated' has added a sum almost equivalent to half the sum firstgiven. To the original sum subscribed to the physicallaboratory-namely, $150,000, Mr. Ryerson has added $75,000. To-day,Oct. 2, the first payment on the Ogden gift has been received.This payment is in round numbers a quarter of a million. In"addition to the special fellowship announced in June, {t is myprivilege to acknowledge at this time others: I. The ColumbianDame Club Helen Lange fellowship, established by a club ofGerman ladies in the city of Chicago, yielding the sum of $520.2. The Bucknell University fellowship, yielding $400, to beawarded a graduate of Bucknell University, of Lewisburg, Pa.,who shall be named by the faculty of that institution, providedfor by 'the generosity of Charles W. Miller, Franklin, Pa, (3) TheIo�a College fellowship, yielding $400, to be awarded a graduateofIowz college, Grinnell, Iowa, for which provision has been. made by friends of that college through the efforts of ProfessorMartha Foote Crow.These last gifts suggest a most interesting way in which friendsof higher learning, interested at the same time in an institutionremote from Chicago and in the University of Chicago, may con­tribute in such a manner as to benefit both institutions in thehighest degree. The City of Chicago is full of the alumni of onehundred institutions of learning. Every such alumnus, thoughloyal to his alma mater, is largely interested in the progress of thisUniversity.When the Chaplain had made the benediction, theprocession of cap and gowned deans and dons, wound-its way down the central aisle, to the right, and againup the grand stair case to the reception hall above.On the north side of the central hall Professor Drum­mond, Mr, and Mrs. George C. Walker received withPresident and Mrs. Harper. Several hundred stu­dents and guests had the pleasure of meeting the, " lord of the evening" as the President called Mr.Walker, and the distinguished Edinburgh scholar, andof greeting the President. Ices' were served in thewest hall and here the orchestra placed itself andplayed delightful music to the delight of the guests.In conclusion Prof. Drummond said:"Students of the University- of Chicago, what are yDU to doto help on the evolution of the world? Iil the first place, graspthe' idea of the wor ld.: of the moving world. The old conceptionof the world was statical; be yours dynamical, Dwell on thatvision of ascending things, of mending men, of evolving states,nations, cities, worlds. Add to that, second, a faith. The worldnot only moves, but it may be moved by' you. Third, the way tohelp it 1'0 evolve is to evolve yourself,"President Harper, in' his quarterly statement,brought out many interesting facts relative to the""'·University, its finances and its general affairs.· Hesaid:"During the three months which have elapsed since ourseparation the country has passed though' a financial crisis, thereal character of which is only appreciated by those who duriugthis time have been under the necessity of carrying large financialresponsibility. Men who have had long financial experience, 'andwho have been in a position to understand the situation, tel l us thatthe country has not known anything so serious in its financial his­tory, State universities with large sums of money in the bankwere compelled to postpone payment because of their inability tosecure the money which had been appropriated and set aside forthem."It is a source of gratification to those who had in charge thefinancial interests of the University that although an effort forsecuring $500,000 had failed; although the institution had uridef­taken a most gigantic work, one which under ordinary circum­stances would have taxed its resources to the fullest extent; ,although large bills for books and equipment fell due in the verymidst of the financial depression: although the general situation,in the midst of which the University found itself, was a mostextraordinary one, nevertheless, obligations were met and thesalaries of the offi�ers were paid promptly, except 10 the case of afew inst�uctors in the month of 'August, when currency was themost difficult to obtain. I take the opportunity to contradictabsolutely, statements which have been published in the dailypress, and especially in the Eastern press. Statements whichwould convey the impression that the Universrty had it in mindto reduce its working force or the facilities which it has proposedto offer are false."What are the facts? For- the budget of the year beginningJuly I, 1893, a budget prepared in April, adequate provision wasmade except in the particular noticed, namely books, and it is safeto say that the time is far distant, whatever may be the resourcesof the University, when the provision in this particular will beregarded by those most interested as entirely adequate. The $150,-000 which Mr. Rockieller had promised on certain conditions helately consented to give without conditions toward the income ofthe present year. Many of the smaller subscriptions, which hadbeen made conditionally, have been paid.' The men who put their"hand to the work of establishing in the city of Chicago a univer­sity worthy of the city, and of which in time the Nation should be'proud, are not men who having once undertaken the work willhesitate or turn back.As has been shown, the work will be conducted upon stillbroader lines and in a more extended way during the year uponwhich we are about to enter. Twenty-seven new appointments'have been made, a number in itself larger than is found in themajority of our Western institutions, and this in the very midst of�the financial depressure.Nor is that all. Mr. Ryerson has again come forward and hasoffered sroo.ooo on condition that $500,000, including Mr. Rocke- Stagg does not propose to fatten up his men duringthe training period. -The training table will be set inthe Delta, a flat located opposite the University Ath­-letic Parle We print the menu of delicacies whichwill be served each day.Such luxuries as common's mystery and sweetbreadswill be conspicuously absent from the hungry rushers'table.

The Academy is the preparatoryschool of the University, of which it forms anintegral part, and this year, for the first time since itsadoption by the University, it kept open its doors fora summer seSSIOn. It offered courses of study toregular students of the Academy; to teachers who'wished to review or to prepare themselves in speciallines; and to those who wanted to fit themselves forthe entrance examinations of the U niversi ty.Hither came professors from Chicago's greatcentre of learning, to reinforce the Academy's regularcorps of instructors, and hither flocked more thantwenty-five earnest men and women students; someof them undergraduates in college and some of them-teachers of years' experience.Among the eight branches of instruction, Latinwas easily first in popularity, and English second.Two courses of six weeks each were given in eachbranch. Ten hours of recitation a week constituted-a major in anyone of the studies, and five hours aminor. A student had the choice between a majorand a minor in any branch taught, and might takeone major and one minor, but was strongly advised(to the verge of prohibiton) not to take more than twomajors and two minors during the same quarter.An arrangement of convenience was a three weeks'term. This made it possible for many to attend theAcademy who, for various reasons, could not havedevoted all the summer, or even six weeks, to study.Although no entrance examinations were requiredno one was admitted to the class in English grammar,and reading.The text-books used during the first term wereLongfellow's Courtship of Miles Standish, Scott'sMarmion and Ivanhoe, Irving's Sketch Book, and the- Sir Roger de Coverley papers in the Spectator. Dur­ing the second term there were studied, Shakespeare'sJulius Caesar and Twelfth Night, Macaulay's SecondEssay on the Earl of Chatham, Emerson's AmericanScholar, Dickens' David Copperfield.Professor Edwin H. Lewis' method of conduct­ing the class made each recitation,-of which therewere two a day, one in the morning, the other inthe afternoon,-a critical lecture upon the book understudy, rich in the literary allusions possible only to amind of wide culture,At the opening of the session, the Sketch Bookand Marmion were studied respecti-vely by the. morn­ing and afternoon classes. The daily task, of eachstudent was to read carefully twenty-five pages ineach book and to write an original theme, covering atleast eight sheets of commerical note-paper, upon 3the contents of each page. Two themes a day towrite, and fifty pages of new matter to read, withevery faculty of the mind alert, so that questions asto the appearance, dress, character, and motives ofthe hero and heroine, the description of scenery,castle, or town, could be answered with scholarly,accuracy! This alone was fine practice. But itsvalue as training was supplemented by the office hoursgiven by Dr. Lewis, always once, and sometimes asoften as four times a week, to each student.' At theseinterviews the themes upon which so much anxiouscare had been expended were often reduced to miser­able shreds and tatters by the professor's critical andfastidious red pencil. Spelling, expression, grammar,form, thought, were carefully weighed, and if foundwanting, rewriting was ordered.How alert the students became in detecting theerrors of the writers they were reading! What balmfell upon the discouraged, mortified soul that hadstriven in vain to produce a theme without an error,when that master of English, Washington Irving, wasfound, in the Sketch Book, to have lapsed repeatedlyinto using I.md which to connect a verb and verbalnoun, or to have misplaced the innocent adverb omy!What consolation was felt when in Scott 'werefound the blunders that made the careful writer, RobertLouis Stevenson, say of him recently, "I long to boxhis ears, God bless him, although to a luminous andstriking degree he is free from the faults that manyof us possess!"Some of the recitation hours were given up toreading aloud in class, Dr. Lewis believing that theman who means to write must learn to read by the earas well as by the eye. There were other hoursdevoted to careful scrutiny of the meanings of synony­mous words as round and around, continual and con-tinuous, e"nergy and force, trutlz and veracity. Everyunknown or rare word in the text- books was alsochallenged and made to declare its root and defini­tion.The course in English was profitable to everymember in the class. The latter was not composed,. apparently, of embryonic journalists and aspiringauthors, although it might well have been, but of menand women who were subsequently to usetheir pensin school work, in private or business corresponden.ee,or in law offices. That continued study is still neededby these students, Dr. Lewis would be prompt to say.But these twenty-five men and women are on theright road, and there are thousands of others whoneed a like training. In fact, so prevalent is the useof impure, slovenly English that few people can besure of saying at all what they mean.-M. A. BIRD,.

Scores of students, old and new, throng itshalls. Many new professors have been added to thealready large faculty. To all, the WEEKLY extends its· heartiest welcome. The great prosperity of the last· year promises to be duplicated in the present one.In short nine months the University attained theproudest position III the western college world.An impartial educator has ranked it with the oldestablished eastern institutions of learning. And ifthe first year's success was so pronounced, what is tohinder even greater strides toward perfection?With the advent of a college year there are alwaysgreat hopes and pleasant anticipation. With everyone else the WEEKLY indulges in both. We look for­ward to a prosperous and successful year. Believingthat success is to be obtained only by concentratedand united effort, we presume to ask the students,both old and new, to aid us. More' than ever weshall strive to make the WEEKLY a truly representativejournal. It shall be a faithful pulse of the student·body, as far as we can make it so. To all we wisha most successful year. We doubt not that it willbe. 2.00 A YEAR ago President Harper said that the spiritof the University for years to come would beformed irrevocably by the spirit developed by itsstudents during the first year of its existence. If thisbe true, it will be well for us as old students and newstudents here assembled, to cast a look over the pastand ask what are the chief characteristics of the spiritwhich we have helped to form, or have during thepast week first been thrown in contact with. Theincoming men and women, will, we think, find hereunusual liberality, individuality, and independenceamong the entire student body. They will see herea wide spread desire for thorough, honest work, a zealfor modern inductive and conversational methods.The graduate and divinity students will discoverthemselves to be associated with men bent uponoriginal investigation in widely diversified lines.They will learn that the spirit of the graduate schoolis against all trifling, all merely methodical or auto­matic work, and for deep, patient, search for facts,and sure, clear, unbiased thought. The new mem­bers of the university college will come to understandhow especially important an influence it has uponthe character of their study, to be in the large major­ity of courses put in touch with the advancedmethods of graduate fellow class men. They will' findthemselves gradually and perhaps unconsciously to beleaving behind them the academic effort to "getthrough" which is so noticeable in many institutions,and to be substituting that spirit of "work for thebenefit deriied" which distinguishes the post graduatestudent. The academic men who now first Join us, willfind themselves peculiarly situated. They will see andfeel but little of the elsewhere almost universal antag­onism between sophomore and freshman; will findthemselves accounted members of the same college­a college where there are no classes-where the differ­ence in the number of accredited majors men have,known only to themselves, is all that remains of theonce impassible breach between the second year class­man and his despised and much afflicted brother.They will see about them sincere, hard and aboveall, honest effort, a high standard set and attained to,a university rather than a college spirit, and an utterlack of that necessi ty of class room or campus discip­line which so not infrequently retards college work.They will, in spite of the size of our University, bein as close relation to their professors as could bepossible in a smaller college; in many cases, on accountof the number of the courses offered, they will receivea training that is little less than personal. The menwill find themselves associated in class work withwomen, the women with men. The men will findwomen that prefer to be called "women" to" coeds," the women, men that would rather bedesignated as "men" than "fellows."UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.IT IS important for subscribers to observe that theymay have the WEEKLY sent them for four quartersby paying $2 in advance, thus saving $r on the regularprice of the paper. Subscribers of last year will con-tinue to receive the paper, and should tak� advantageof this opportunity to get low rate which will con­tinue only a few weeks.* **CONTRARY to the methods pursued by mostcollege journals, the WEEKLY will not be sentto students until it is requested. Our plan may andprobably does not increase the subscription list yet weprefer to continue as we commenced, and not shamethe students into subscr,ibipg. If the 'NEEKLY winsyour approval, we shall be glad to receive your sub­scription. If not, we shall neither solicit nor expectcharity contributions of subscriptions.* **IT IS the duty of each student to patronize the busi-ness firms who advertise in the college paperproviding, of course, that he can do as well there aselsewhere. The business firms who advertise with uswant the student trade; many of them offer liberal dis­counts to the students, and we can guarantee eachand every advertiser's honesty. Many have taken spacein our paper merely as an experiment. They wish tosee if advertising in college publications is profitable.Should they find that their trade does not justifyadvertising, they will cease so doing. Everyoneknows that the advertisers make possible the college,as well as other, newspapers. Without their assis­tance, relying on mere subscriptions, college paperscould not live. We ask, then, that the students cou­sult our medium and patronize our advertisers.The Faculty on Their Summer Vacation.Most of our professors are from the east. Many ofthem visited their old homes during the summervacation; others who have made Chicago a permanentabode, desiring to avoid the rush and clangor, thedissonance and discord incumbent on the great met­ropolis, especially during World's Fair year, soughtrest and quiet in shady retreats about the country.Pres. Harper with his usual display of energy andindustry busied himself at Chatauqua all summer.Prof. Von Holst was at Chatauqua a shorttime and delivered his course of lectures on "TheFrench Revolu60n." He went later to the WhiteMountains where he is still stopping.Prof. W. C. Wilkinson spent the greater part ofthe vacation at Ann Arbor, Mich. Since his returnhe read a paper before the religious congress, which 5was very well received and met with much favorablecomment at the hands of the newspapers.Prof. Judson busied himself with literary work atMinneapolis during the early summer, spending thelatter part at Mackinaw Island fishing, and restingup for the year's work.Prof. Terry visited at Hamilton, New York, return­ing to Chicago this week.Prof. W. 1. Knapp spent most of his summer inChicago, as did Professors Small, Shorey, Donald­son, and Bergeron,Prof. W. G. Hale sojourned at Moosehead Lake,Mo. Prof Moulton is still in England.Prof. A. A. Stagg took charge of athletics at Ch a­tauqua, where Dean W. D. McClintock was also en­gaged in instruction.Mr. Triggs pursued literary labors in Minneapolisstaying at the Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity House.Prof. Abbott spent the greater part of his time IIIthe Adirondacks hunting and fishing.Prof. Butler remained in Chicago busying himselfwith University Extension work.Dean Cham berlin was down in Ohio for the sum­mer, with Prof. Whitman at Wood's Holl, Mass.,where he has charge of the marine biological labora­tory.Prof. Miller stayed at his home in California, andclaims to have caught 2,000 trout.Prof. Stra tton superintended the erection of theRyerson- Physical Laboratory:Prof. Michelson has returned from Paris, where hewas engaged in special research work for the E uro­pean Bureau of Scientists.Prof. Caldwell is back from Scotland,' and Profs.Lawrence and Thatcher from England and Germany;all ready to resume work.Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer spen t the summer ather home in Cambridge, Mass.Dean Talbot passed the hot months in NewHampshire, and Prof. Martha Foote Crow in NewYork.Prof. Iddings, while in England, was invited todeliver an address before the British Society of Geo­logists, a high honor. The professor is now on thewater, and will be at his post in a few days.The Kenwood Institute for girls located at 500rLake avenue, an affiliated academy of the University,opened Sept. 27th. This is one of the best preparatoryschools in the country and has educated hundreds ofyoung ladies. A student who successfully passes theexamination is admitted without.best colleges in the country.6 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.The Foot-Ball Outlook.With the beginning of the fall term this month,the second annual foot-ball season is inaugurated intothe history of the University athletics. Last yearmarked the starting point, this year-it is to behoped--is destined to mark the advancement of thegame here.The new athletic park or Marshall Field (as itought more aptly to be called in honor of the gener­ous donor) is in good condition, and will furnish farbetter facilities, owing to its proximity to the U niver­sity for daily practice and training than was affordedby the Washington Park field last year. Prof. Stagghas returned and in his old position of coach andtrainer, will be with the team daily during the train­ing, instructing the men in falling on the ball, puntingand tackling, whilst paying special attention, of course,to the team playing of the eleven.Captain Wyant, who did such admirable work atright tackle last season has been in Chicago for sometime looking over the ground and confering withDirector Stagg. Standing as he does, six feet one ortwo inches in his stockings and of gigantic physique,_ Captain Wyant is a man to command no little respectand obedience on the grid-iron field. Wyant, by the. way, is a divinity student. Rulkoetter at center, aman who is built with the strength of a bull and hav­ing the tenacity of a bull-dog, will again play the" stone-wall" part in front of quarter-back and keepthe ball a-rolling fast. Rulkoetter is a graduatestudent. Knapp, the all around athlete from theUniversity of Wisconsin, who at right guard last yearloved nothing better than breaking holes in theopponent's line and shoving Stagg through them forten and fifteen yards gain, will be with us again in theline, and will help to keep the game going lively. Aswill Smith also, who played on the other side ofcenter, last fall. Chace, the feather-weight right end,who, but for his curly auburn hair,. would resemblelittle Johnny Poe, of Princeton in his wiryness andbuild, is again on the field and already at itwith his phenominal tackling. Mc Gillivray too, whowas Stagg's co-worker at left-half back and whosekicking was no mean thing to look at, is here andmay go in the game again, though he himself says hedoes not expect to do so. Then there are Allen,Rapp and Raycroft, who did admirable work last yearand who in all pro ba bili ty will be seen on the fieldagain soon. Among the new players who will begiven a chance for the team, the Flint brothers, ofPrinceton and Lake Forest respectively, are themost likely candidates, though Wyant's brother fromBucknell, it is said, will make a good man, whileAtwood, Nichols, Prescott, Speer, and Bliss willbe given a good show for a place on the team. All of .those who can go into training will eat at the trainingtable in the Delta building, opposite the field, on Ellisavenue. Last year's team was made up as follows: Left end-Conover.Left tackle-Brenneman.Left guard-Smith.Center-Rulkoetter.Right guard-Knapp.Right tackle-Wyant (Capt. '93).Righ tend-Chace.Quarter back-Raycroft.Right half-Stagg (Capt.

A fellow ranks higher than amember of the faculty, is a member of the corpor­ation, and with his fellows helps to make up the man­aging board. He is a sort of regent and facultymember combined, and only attains this high positionafter a thorough test of worthiness. In America thefellow is an altogether different dignitary. He has novoice in faculty meetings, and is looked upon as a kindof post graduate, encouraged in taking up advancedwork by a stipulated sum to meet expenses whileengaged. It is interesting to know that fellows inYale or Harvard are allowed to do 11.0 instructing.The student's whole time is supposed to be taken up. in research and he is never allowed to teach withoutspecial permission of the faculty.The Student Army.March them past in double file-double file is thecustom of these days, especially at the co-educationalcenters-and the procession of college students fromIndiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois and Michigan willbe six hours in passing. Feed this army, but do it ata table at least twelve miles long. House it in ahotel with at least one hundred rooms to the floor.your elevator will stopat the one hundred and seventy­fifth story.

Neff, instructor in modern languages at theState University of Iowa last year, has entered theUniversity to do graduate work.Lincoln Hulley and Miss Eloise Mayham, bothmembers of graduate school of last year, were unitedin marriage during the summer.Horace Butterworth the genial and popular gym­nasium instructor surprised his many friends by leav­ing the realms of bachelorhood during the vacation.The first of the political clubs of the University tocommence active work, was the prohibition club,which had a lecture planned and announced beforethe opening of school.Commons boarders will be overjoyed to learn thatthe Commons Association cleared almost $4,000 fromthe summer's world's fair business. The sinking fundof the association is thus largely increased, and it willprobably not be necessary to set aside any portion ofmembership dues for the payment of equipmentexpenses.Among. the improvements in college papers theone deserving special n qtice, is the lllini of theUniversity of Illinois. It is published as a weeklythis year, and is typographically (present companyexcepted) the neatest college journal in the state.It also bri stles full of interesting matter, and is wellpatronized by advertisers.One of the most pleasing events connected withthe opening of the University, was the informalreception to incoming students in the chapel Mondayafternoon, at 4 p. m. Throngs of academics anduniversity men and women intermingled, and becameacquainted with each other. It gave a wonderfulimpetus to the good fellowship which will character­ize the meetings of the studen ts hereafter.It will be interesting to know that the generousoffer of Martin A. Ryerson to subscribe $100,000 tothe general fund of the University,. provided that$400,000 more be raised by SUbscriptions, has beenextended to July 1St. 1894. Twice now has Mr.Ryerson extended the time, the financial stringencyhaving seriously interfered with the raising of the$400,000. We understand that but a little over $100,-000 is needed to complete the fund.The student's hand book to the University hasbeen issued by the Young Men's Christian Association,and is furnished free to all students. The cOIhmitteeon publication, Edgar J. GooJspeed, and Theo. G. 7Soares, deserve great credit for the able manner 111which they have edited and published the volume.It is complete and will prove a valuable aid to the newstudents.The U ni versity extension movement in this countrywas started in 1890 by Dr. William Pepper, provostof the University of Pennsylvania ..Mr. Myers, the engineer, wishes us to announcetha t all persons finding articles around the U niversi tybuildings and grounds, are expected to leave themat his office for recovery.1he Y. M. C. A., and Y. W. C. A., will hold areception Saturday evening. All connected with theUniversity are cordially invited to attend. The pastreceptions of these organizations have been eminentlysuccessful, and the committee is sparing 110 effort tomake this function the most pleasant of all theirmeetings.The Oldest Colleges.We present below a list of the oldest colleges ofAmerica, with the dates at which they were respect­ively founded:College of New Jersey, Princeton, N.

It is an octavo, paper bound, of 250 pages.I t is a compendium of all interesting data regardingthe University as it stands after one year of existence.Interesting figures are published in .the appendixrelative to members of the University. It is foundthat the total number of students was 702 and ofinstructors 135. From foreign countries came forty­one of these students. Among the students were 302already holding degrees from other institutions. The total number of institutions of learning where thesedegrees were taken and whence their bearers camewas 109. Students, in number fifty-eight, also camefrom other institutions. The University in its firstyear conferred thirty-nine degrees. Students enteredthe academic college from forty-six different prepara­tory schools.Exchanges.Ten freshmen went down to the boathouse yester­day to hire the shell to go fishing.
