WILKINSON.I have been re-reading a paper which I wrotemany years ago on the Iiteraryand the ethical quality ofGeorge Eliot's novels. That paper, being includedin a volume of essays aftefward published, still. findsreaders. I have accordingly felt prompted to addsomething in the way of afterthought to it, a kind ofepilogue, inspired by a survey of the author's workmade when that work was brought to absolute co n­elusion in her death.The date of the paper to" which 1 refer;· as pub­lished in Scribner's'Mofzthly (now the' Celltury MaJ(a­zine) was 1873. George Eliot was then living, thehopeof un accomplished years still large and lucid roundher brow. 'She had just, published "Middlemarch."I t was a bright, though uncertain prospect, the sequel ofachievement which' might follow that masterpiecefrom her pen. As it proved, "Daniel Der'anda " and"Theophrastus Such" followed. After these the"Life and Letters!" And that sad final commentarysubstantially completed our material for defining andestimating the genius of George Eliot.It need not be said that I should now write mysentence on this great author somewhat differently.This, partly' because some twenty mature years ofexperience and observation, of reflection and reading,have intervened; and partly because not only /hasdeath, wi'th decease of production, left what beforewas mobile and mutable, rigid and and unchangeablenow; but also let it be frankly confessed, because therehas been withdrawn from effect on the writer that per­haps disturbing.. certainly stimulating, indefinableforce which resides in the conscious living presenceof a puissant personality like George Eliot's _ still, moving and working bodily in the world.I should write somewhat less eulogistically now­should write not so m-uch in the way of grateful spon­taneous tribute and applause, more in the way of self­checking, deliberate inquest and judg m en t. Still, inre-reading .careful ly, sentence by sentence, and wordby word, my essay of twenty years ago, I find littlethat I would change, if I could, except precisely thatwhich I could not change, if I would; namely, thekey, the pitch, in which all was c�nceived and writ­ten. I shou'ld perhaps change here and there anadjective, an accent, an emphasis, here and theresubstitute an expression more carefully weighed; butin the main the essay revised would continue to bewhat it was when it first saw the light of print, in thepages of the magazine named. "Daniel Deronda" and "Theophrastus Such"could only affect, by confirming, the general estimateof George Eliot's genius and achievement which herprevious work had inspired in the present writer."Theophrastus Such" was manifestly the hard-won -harvest of a mind that no longer rejoiced in a sense ofinexhaustible fertilty. It had its real value, but itsvalue was not that of hinting new and unexpectedresources in the genius, patient of labor, that pro­duced it. "_ Daniel Deronda " was not a signal felic­rtv, either in' subject or in treatment; but if it didnot enhance, it was equally far from justly diminishingone's previously-enkindled admiration of the con­scientious and laborious author.The thing that at last set fixed and impassablebounds to one's desire of finding George ElIot indefin­ably great, was the publication of Mr. Cross's biog­raphy of her. The writer of those letters of hers, ofthose' religious experiences, was certainly a personquite measurable, by definite at least, if not ordinary,human standards, The awe, the mystery, were gone.The impression produced, how disappointingly dif­ferent from that experienced, for example, in readingLockhart's'" Lif� of .Scott!" You read Mr. Cross'sbook, and you irresistibly felt. " Is this, then,all thatGeorge Eliot was? Was she, after all, so nearly levelwi th the rest of us?" N 6 true fountain she, that for­ever filled from itself, and overflowed because it couldnot do otherwise; but only a capacious reservoir sup­plied, with effort, from without, and running becauseit was carefully and skillfully drained. 'Well, wemight at least admire the moral achievement· themore, that we must admire the intellectual triumph theless.But, on the other hand, wh�n we- passed fromconsidering, as intellectual product, the almost com­men-place letters, to consider tlie spiri t ual historythat they revealed, we were staggered again. Wesaw George Eliot going over from evangelical Christ­ianity to the unbelief of the positivist, apparentlyafter about eleven days only at most of suspense anddoubt, and apparently also without any struggl»whatever of anguish in making the stupendous change.What depth, what measurable depth, of moral orreligious nature, in its subject, did such a feat ofinward experience imply?The explanation is, that George Eliot's evangelicalreligion, as a personal experience of her own, was themerest convention imaginable. Her language indeedwas, during the period when she took .herself for aChristian, the regulation language of evangelicalreligion. But it was language simply. That is, towas a scholar, she liked to be known as a scholar, andshe enjoyed her consciousness of moral 'and intellect­ual kindred with whatever anywhere was great andhigh in human thought and feeling-if I were not togive also the Latin sentiment from Cicero, found inone of his letters, which she prefixes as a kind ofmotto to her .poem left otherwise without title-Long­um illud tempus, quum non era, magis me movet, quamhoc exiguum ; the sense whereof, for those who mayprefer it in English, may be rendered as follows:"That long time future, when I shall not be, movesme more than does this little present "):" 0, may I join the choir invisibleOf those immortai dead who live againIn minds made better by their presence: liveIn pulses stirred, to generosity,In deeds of daring rectitude, in scornFor miserable aims that end with self,In thoughts sublime that pierce the night like stars,And with their mild persistence urge man's searchTo vaster issues,2 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.put \'it bluntly, but not at all unkindly, it was thelanguage of unconscious religious cant. Not onepulse of life and reality throbs underneath it. It pro­duces, in truth, for one eagerly desirous to findGeorge Eliot at least always genuine and earnest,however mistaken, the effect of a mortifying disillus­ion. From an experience of personal religion likehers, an experience so superficial as to be absolutelynull, the transition to positivism was no real transitionat all. The pathos that ought to be in it, and towring our hearts, is, in the actual state of the case, aquite impossible emotion. You experience shame,humiliation, instead.But let us beware of doing George Eliot unintent­ional injustice. We had been attributing to her adepth; a height, a. nobleness of nature somewhatbeyond that large measure which really was hers.That was all. She was not dishonest, while she was'passing for an orthodox Christian. She was simplydeceived. She had a positivist's head, and her heartafter all did not rebel. Her heart, that too, was itselfa willing enough positivist; but it was a heart that hadnever truly known Christ, that indeed seems even tohave become incapable of desiring to know him.Alas!But it was, in many ways, a true, wise, gentle,good heart, and the heart of a woman. What a testi­mony it renders to the unalterable womanhood in herthat formed the basis of her character, making at onceits strenght and its weakness-this language from oneof her letters (the date is "Geneva, I849, and shewrites to Mrs. Bray):"The only ardent hope I have for my future life isto have given me some woman's duty, some possibilityof devoting myself where I may see a daily result ofpure, calm blessedness in the life of another."We surely may continue to admire a spirit thatcould: speak, and speak truly, like that. We mayadmire and at the same time sincerely deplore thatone who was in fact so much, could not have been theindefinitely more that capacity for feeling the personalneed toknow Christ would have made' George Eliot.And then to have actually known Him, what an incal­culable enrichment it would have been to her charac-'ter, to become also an incalculable equal enrichmentto her genius!That capacity and that experience not hers mighteven have made of George Eliot a poet. It seems tohave needed but a change of key in the song, "such aswould necessarily have been effected by a change ofkey in the singer, t<? transpose into true,. triumphantpoetry the almost poetry of those noble lines from herpen ofpathetic defeat attempting in vain the impos­sible notes 'of victory-with which, because they givetheir author at once at her moral and at her intellect­ual highest and best, it will be fair now to take ourleave of George Eliot. (I should seem to myself tofail a point in full fidelity to George Eliot-for she "So to live is heaven:To make undying music in the world,Breathing as beautious order that controlsWith growing sway the growing life of man,So we inherit that sweet purityFor which we struggled, failed and agonizedWith widening retrospect that dred despair.Rebellious flesh that would not be subdued,A vicious parent, shaming still its child,Poor, anxious penitence, is quick dissolved,Its discords, quenched by meeting harmonies,Die in the large and charitable airAnd all our rarer, better, truer self,That sobbed religiously in yearning song,That watched to ease the burthen of the world,Laboriously tracing what must be,And what may yet be better-saw withinA worthier image for the sanctuary,And shaped it forth befcre the multitudeDivinely human, raising worship soTo higher reverence more mixed with love­That better self shall live till human timeShall fold its eyelids, and the human skyBe gathered like a scroll within the tombUnread for ever," This is life to come,Which martyred men have made more gloriousFor us to strive to follow, May I reachThat purest heaven, be to other soulsThe cup of strength in some great-agony,Enkindle generous ardor, feed pure love,Beget the smiles that have no cruelty-Be the sweet presence of a good diffused,And in diffusion ever more intense.So shall I join the choir invisibleWhose music is the gladness of the world,"Prof. Isaac A.

This isencouraging because it was feared, and by many, pre­dicted that this season would prove that the interestheretofore manifested was occasioned by the noveltyof the movement; in short that' university extensionwas a "fad." The signs are all to the contrary. Itis true that the continuance of the Fair has causedmany centres to defer the arranging of their firstcourses until November, instead- of, as last year,beginning in October. Moreover Mr. Moulton willnot engage in work until after January first. Numer­ous engagements which were asked for him, beforethat date, must of course be deducted from the num­ber of courses which would have been given duringthis term. 'However, when these two circumstancesare taken into account, it is gratifying to learn thatup to this time forty-five courses of lectures havebeen definitely fixed for the approaching season.One feature of the work this winter will be theorganization of what are called circuits; there aregroups of centres so situated that lecturers can passfrom one town to another on succeeding days of theweek, without returning to Chicago after each lecture.The chief advantages of this arrangement are thesaving of traveling expenses to the centres, the savingof the lecturer's time and the sense of co-operation thatsprings' up among centers thus uniting. A typicalcircuit is that arranged for Mr. Chas. Zeublm, whowill lecture, beginning November 6th, at Kenwood onMonday; Peoria, Tuesday; Pekin, Wednesday; Spring­held, 'Thursday and Quincy, Friday; lecturing thus ateach of these towns once a week; he will at the end ofsix weeks have completed the entire course.It is proposed to form immediately what will beknown as "The University Extension Lecturer'sClub," the purpose of which will be to discuss ininformal meetings, all subjects of interest bearingupon the work as suggested by experience. Meet­ings of this club will be held quarterly.The following lectures are to be delivered in thenear future, beginning N ovem ber 2d: N ovem ber 2d,St. Paul's Centre, Chicago, a course of lectures onAncient Sculpture begins.

The Purdue Game." Why we didn't win" is always a sad soundingapology and often fills many a "stickful" of collegecopy. Nevertheless, with all the respects to Purdue,we feel ourselves forced to explain-entirely sub-rosa,ofcourse--the reaso nof our defeat on Wednesday.In the first place, to quote from the last numberof the WEEKLY" Our team went to Purdue very badlycrippled, Sykes, Flint, Raycroft and Chace were notable to play. Nichols, although far from sound,accompanied the team." Let Purdue people scoreone touchdown for Chicago, as this little flee isinserted in. their ear.Ln the second place, our. team was on strangegr�)Unds, had no college spirit (yells, etc.) to backthem, and being a comparatively young team, losttheir nerve. Score one more touch-down for Chicago,Purdue, and listen to this: Come to Chicago, play uson our home grounds, and-well just try it again.As it was, however, Purdue won the game. Thescore was 20 to 10. It was an exciting contest, andreflected great credit on Chicago. Stagg playedquarter back for the University team, and played withhis accustomed fire and dash, but was unable to instillife into the tired and half-crippled men arou�d him.The team lined up as follows:PURDUE.

The leather wasaccordingly brought out to the 25 yard line, and thefight was on again. "Old war horse" Allen took theball at this point, and was rushed over Purdue's"White wash" for the first touch-down. Stagg miss­ing goal on the try, brought the score to 6 to 0 infavor of U. of C. Purdue made one later making thescore 6 to 6. Up to this time the University menwere playing a confident aggressive game, and hadeverything their own way. The second half howevertold a different story. Only one more touch-downwas secured by Chicago, which was made by Bliss,while for Purdue Finney made three by plungingbetween Rapp and Rulkoetter, and Lamay and Rappin quick and savage succession.

It has becomeevident that we have not a man on the' team that isreasonably sure on a goal-kick. Sykes, perhaps thebest man of the eleven for this purpose, has not beenplaying in the last two games and neither Mr. Staggat Purdue nor Bliss in this last victory have done aswell as a close contest would demand.

It I{'as )Yien told of a reporter "doing"funny sketCh�S" for' a ci-ty daily who, despairing ofobtaining anything witty for his article, entered thePuck building and sought out' the "funny.man" inthe hope of discovering something that had been saidor done during the season that might find a place inthe' "Smiles" column. To 'his question th� knightof, wit replied,' "Why man', I haven't seen or heardanything 'fu�lllY around here In five months." There­upon both sat down and 'laughed heartily for threeminutes by the watch. ,The, writer sympathizes with the disappointedreporter, but fails to understand how any person,possessing even so .Ij ttle sense of humor, can spend aday at the fair withouj-acquiri ng a wonderful supplyof humorous anecdpte.Ludicrous situationsyalways amusing to everyoneexcept the immediate ,p(!:fJie'"s concerned, are to be metwith on, every hand. .Funny .rernarks .have beenborne on every breeze that has. blown since the firstadmission was recorded by the automatic turnstileslast May. The" ta-ra-ra-boom" in uncertain Eng­lish of the mystified foreigners has had its day andhas caused much merriment; and by the way, whycannot this startling phrase be introduced into thealphabet., The ease and readiness with which ouroriental visitors became possessed of this" popular"phrase is sufficient evidence of its many good qual­ties. Some deep-searching educator should seize theopportunity to at once become famous. He who hasawful memories of the many difficulties he was obligedto surmount in 'learning the" A,.

And that reminds meof something I heard a few days since. An honestfar-down Indiana countryman, with his better half,thereby meaning his spouse, had just alighted from agondola at one of thelandings. As the pretty craftmoved gracefully down' the lagoon, the Hoosierrubbed his forehead thoughtfully and remarked, "Soth'a.t'� one' of them' ere gondolers I've heard about somu·cn." . '" Yes," his good wife quickly put in. '"Andit's a gone' dollar too." And the fair has gone too. _ We shall .miss thee,° Chinese Theatre with your tin-pan music and ypurdeathless deaths.

We shall miss thee all.But the remembrance remains of the man who, lastSeptember, approached one of the guards and' askedhim the following:"Mr. Guard," the questioner asked, " Can X�Vdirect me to my room ?" -"Where is it ?" the guard replied, ,,�;-- ; ) :�" I don't know," was the startling answer:'_ .... � .r,', Well, about where was it located ?" , .. '" I can't tell' anything about it except that it wassomewhere near the corner of a street a�d had a 'sidedoor opening on to an alley." The guard was notable to give him any satisfactory directions to find. - .the house.We, shall also remember- three gentlemen whoboarded a 'cable car on Cottage Grove and the Mid­way; and after paying their fares, asked for six trans­fers on 64th street. " But," the conductor rernori­strated, "there are but three in your 'party." ."0, that's all right," was the reassuring. reply."We are going to have three friends meet us at 7IStstreet ..

Ladies (In unison)-" We shall see the colonel,and you shall lose your star and club."Among the many attractions in the White City,probably none is more popular than the art gallery.All countries with their customs and peoples areherein represented, and the fact of their being oncanvas lends an additional charm, making an other­wise difficult study comparatively easy., N otwith­standing the readiness with which an ordinary intel­lect comprehends the substance and underlying ideasof the pictures many ludicrous mistakes occur.There are two distinct kinds of entertainment in theart gallery; the cesthetic and the humorous; the onefurnished by the exhibits; the other by the onlookers.If a little more money were judiciously expended incatalogues, the number of those persons who makelaughing-stocks of themselves would be greatlydiminished. The opinion seems to be prevalent withmany, however, that a picture which demands theaid of a catalogue is not worth examining.. As a burly rustic from one of our outlying farmsexpressed it: " If we couldn't tell what the pictureswas without a catalogue, he didn't want to see' em."It was the same individual who a few moments laterpaused before an oil painting of the" Death of Archi­medes," one of the most prominent in the U. S. loancollection, and said in tones of contempt to hisbeloved spouse, indicating the picture with a fingerof scorn, "Now what's the sense of that? Thereain t no sense in a picture like that." "But, George,"interposed his better-half, "it may be some historicalor mythological su bject." "I don't care," he replied,"there aint no sense in it. Come on, let's go intothe French department." We followed them, curiousto hear some more of his home-made opinions on artand wishing to be entertained further. As theyentered the French exhibit, a picture of a wild boar atbay, surrounded by a pack of hounds, caught his eye.He made right for it, and when' within convenientdistance, up went the index finger again as hed eclared in loud tones to his wife: "Now that's thekind of a picture I like, there is some sense in that.I always did have a'tender spot for a good paintin', and. that 'ketches me. "I tell you," he continued, in ademonstrative tone, "them French fellers kin slingpaint with any. of 'em." This is but one of themany laughable occurrences which take place everyday. Another equally illiterate personage wasencountered in the Austrian exhibit, who seeminglywished to parade his ignorance. The name"Austerrich" hung in large gilt lettersover the doorattracted his attention. " Hello!" he said to hiscompanion in loud tones, "here's the ostrich exhi­bit." A little further on he saw a model of the ing, I knew it the minute I set eyes on it; I wonderwhy they've got it in here."The women also, although as a' rule' betteracquainted with art, have contributed their share ofblunders for the amusement of the populace. Weheard a middle-aged damsel, fair, fat and at least 39,say the other day concerning a picture in Great Bri­tain's exhibit, "The Killing of Martinitz and Sla­vata," "I guess that must be the death of Colum­bus." The sign" not competing" and (in small let­ters underneath "by one of the judges") under thestatue of a dying gladiator caused one of the fair sexto give vent to the following: "Not competing. Well,I shouldn't think he was; looks as if he had beenthough and got decidedly the worst of it." And stillwe hear of this modern era of enlightenment.Kelly Notes,The members of Kelly Hall are indebted to Mr.Wardner. Williams for a beautiful Chace parlor-grandpiano. The piano arrived Monday, and in the even­ing all adjourned to 'the reception room and trippedthe light fantastic until one by one they betookthemselves to their studies, casting many a lingeringglance at "our grand" and at the tempting floor.Yes the floor is really a temptation, and it is alsothe pride of every inmate of Kelly. A parquetry floor.I t is what the boys call" smooth," and we agree withthem. One can scarcely resist the temptation todance or follow the injunction" Slide, Kelly, Slide!".Since the organization of the orchestra, mandolinclub and various other musical associations, the cor­ridors of Kelly are filled with the sweet (?) tingling ofmandolin, guitar, banjos, violins; really pandemon­ium has been aroused.Hallowe'en was celebrated at Kelly in the usualway, bobbing for apples,roasting nuts, popping corn,and many such innocent amusements.Kelly is the proud recipient of a book entitled"A Treatise on Modern Foot- ball," a gift from theauthor.Miss Helen Conner spent several days with uslast week.Miss Elizabeth Butler has been the guest of Kellyduring the past week.Miss Bessie McWilliams spent Saturday and Sun­day with Miss Kane, at the latter's home on the westside.The reduction of the price of admission to thefoot-ball game last Saturday, was a pleasant sur­prise to many of our students.
