II, NO., 8.UNIVERSITY', EXTENSION.PROF_ NATHANIEL BUTLER.Twenty years ago the movement to extend univer­sity teaching beyond the university class rooms wasinaugurated by Cambridge University, in England.In 1887 the first University Extension lecture in Amer­ica was given at the Buffalo public library, but thefirst American organization for University Extensionwas effected in Philadelphia in 1890. Although thismethod of teaching has been so long in actual andsuccessful operation, there are still found large num­bers of intelligent people who have only a vaguenotion of what it proposes. It is therefore in orderperiodically to set forth the aims and methods of U ni­versi ty Extension.The primary idea of University Extension is, asthe name implies, to extend to those who, for anyreason, cannot reside at the University, such of theprivileges of the University as they can use. It isfelt that in all the better communities there are largenumbers of ladies and gentlemen of all ages and alloccupations who would like to keep up some form ofintellectual life in a systematic and continuous way,but who are prevented from doing thus by businessand household and social engagements, and by afeeling that they do not know exactly how to go aboutit. It is felt by those who believe in UniversityExtension lectures, that if men who are masters oftheir subjects can go before thes� intelligent' peopleto talk about their subjects, not in one lecture merely,but repeatedly in series of six or twelve talks at inter­vals of a week or a fortnight, and if these lecturers• can further direct the reading of those who hear, sothat in the interval between the lectures the subjectmay be pursued in detail by each hearer for himself,and further, if the hearers can ask and answer ques­tions informally about the subject treated, the remust­in all this be possibilities of great good. It will beseen that the primary purpose of University Exten­sion is not the conferring of diplomas and degrees,although University recognition may very properlyfollow the work done, but that the primary object isto stimulate and direc: the reading and study of thosewho want to read and to tltink. The movement muststand or fall by what it can do in quickening andbroadening the intellectual life of our communities.The method employed in University Extensionlectures: and the features wherein these differ fro m the popular lecture are more or less familiar. Insteadof one lecture there is a series of six, ten, or twelveupon a given subject., Each 'member of the audiencein the U niversi ty Extension lecture is furnished wi th aprinted syllabus or outline of the lecture. Thisassists the hearer to follow the lecturer and to reviewthe subject at home. Upon the same pagewith thissyllabus are printed the names of books with refer­ences to chapter and page, denoting readings uponthe subject which the lecturer desires his hearers toexamine.' Upon the syllabus page are printed also afew topics or questions connected with the subjectdiscussed, upon which topics the lecturer asks hishearers to write brief papers, which papers are to bemailed to the lecturer. At each meeting betweenlecturer and audience after the first, a certain portionof time is taken for an informal review of the formerlecture. This exercise is sometimes technicallycalled the " class. " At this review, the lecturer com­ments upon such papers as has been sent to him, andopportunity is given for an exchange of question andanswer, and discussion .of points of interest. At theend of the course, those, who have pursued the sub­ject, in attendance upon the lectures, the performanceof the readings, and a writing of a fair proportion of thepapers, may, if they desire, receive examination, andupon successfully passing, have a printed recognitionof what they have done in the name of the University.Those who wish are at liberty to take the lecturesalone. The work feature is voluntary, but is urgedas being the element of distinctive value in the system ., Universal testimony confirms the belief that the read­ing and writing with a purpose, for which opportunityis thus given, introduces a systematic and stimulatingelement into the intellectual life of those who areinterested to do it, and that lines of reading andthought are opened up which prove of very great bene­fit to those who engage in this work, introducing anelement of variety and relief into the lives of manywho have allowed themselves to be entirely given 'upto home duties or business cares.The history of the development of each of thedistinctive features of the University Extension lec­tures is very interesting. I need not go back to tracethis history to the beginnings of University life inEurope-to the days when the only source of instruc-2 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.tion was the one teacher, like the venerable Baeda orAbillard, about whom hundreds of students gathered,nor need I detail how, so long as the teacher and thebook were fixed to one place, it was necessary thatthe student should come to them for learning. It isnot necessary for me more than' to call attentio�, tothe fact that the first step in the extension and dif­fusion of knowledge was printing and the diffusion ofbooks, I pass all this to speak of the rise of the specialfeatures which I have just spoken of as characterizingin the method of University Extension.In r867, Prof. James Stuart, of Scotland, wasinvited by a company of ladies in the north of Eng­land to give them a lecture on Teaching. ProfessorStuart replied to them that he was not sufficientlyexperienced in the technicalities of that science toaddress them on that subject, but that as a "thing isoften best described by showing a piece of it" hewould give them a course of eight lectures in whichhe would attempt to teach something. The mainpoint which Professor Stuart desired to press, was'that the single lecture was unsatisfactory and inade­quate to the teaching of any subject. Thus he estab­lished the first distinctive mark of University Exten­sion lectures, a series instead of a single lecture.The lectures given these ladies was repeated atLeeds, Liverpool, Manchester and Sheffield; theywere attended by women only.These lectures by Professor Stuart are interestingto use, not only because they constitute really thebeginning of University Extension lectures, as weunderstand the term, but because they clearly dis­play the evolution of the special features of U n iver­sity Extension lectures, namely the syllabus, theweekly paper, and the review. Professor Stuart tellsus that he received the idea of the syllabus fromProfessor Ferrier of St. Andrews. Professor Ferrierhad us�d the syllabus as a means of indicating to hisstudents what sort of notes he desired them to take.The origin of the weekly paper was this: Profes­sor Stuart felt that oral questioning of his audiencewas unsatisfactory, embarrassing, and an extravagantconsumption of time. He, therefore, asked his hear­ers to write him short papers upon various topicsconnected with the lecture and mail them to himAt the following meeting these papers were com­mented upon as their contents seemed to demand.The origin of the so-called "class" is equally inter­esting. One of the managers of the Crewe RailroadWorks asked Professor Stuart in r867 if he would'give a lecture to the workingmen. He accepted theinvitation. He was to speak upon the subject ofMeteors. He tells us that the lecture receivedunusual and gratuitous advertisements by copiousshowers of meteors that fell the evening before thelecture. The first lecture was so acceptable that themen requested him to give them a course of lectures.Professor Stuart used in the first of the course some diagrams. Wishing to make use of them in the nextlecture, he asked the keeper of the Hall, to allowthem to remain. This was permitted, and whenProfessor Stuart came for the second lecture, he found·a number of his hearers gathered about the diagrams,discussing them with much interest. The result- wasthat Professor Stuart was asked if he would bewilling to come to the hall somewhat earlier than thetime for the beginning of the lecture to explain andfurther discuss these illustrations. This gave him anidea of the so called "class" or review, which isa feature of the University Extension lecture.The constituency of University Extension lecturesin America has been found to consist not chiefly ofrepresentatives of anyone class. It proves that themovement is valued and supported, not only by thosewho have been debarred from the privileges of collegeand university education, but quite as much by col­lege and university graduates themselves. An inter­esting example of this occurred at Springfield, Ill.,where Prof. Mace in' his lectures on American His­tory found, among those who attended his lecturesand wrote papers upon the topics assigned, lawyers,physicians, clergymen, members of the legislatureand members of congress. The opportunities thusafforded seemed to be valued by men and women ofculture who desire to keep up some form of intellect­uallife in a sys tematic way.The speci al aim. of University Extension lecturesin America, I think, prove to be somewhat differentfrom the aim of the same work in England. One ofthe objective points toward which the effort directsitself in England, has been the establishment ofso called University Extension Colleges, but these,so far as I can learn, (although I speak under cor-'rection in this matter) correspond in many respects,to our higher academies, institutes and country col­leges in this country. These institutions have char­acterized American communitities since the colonyof Massachusetts Bay was sixteen years old. Educa­tion has "been diffused among our people to an extenthitherto unknown in other countries. The attemptto establish a University Extension College in America.would seem to be entirely superfluous, and destinedto failure. The aim of University Extension lecturesin America would seem to be what I have alreadydescribed, an attempt to quicken and employ anddirect the intellectual life of the people, and toanswer in their favor this question: Is it possible forbusy men and women to discharge the daily duties of/Z077le and of business, and at the same time be constantlyadr ancillX their own culture by reading and study.'lMust men and women choose between the neglect oflife's business, and neglect of personal culture? Per­haps it will hardly do to say that this problem hastake,n the form of a pu blic question, but there mustbe very few men and women who have not felt it,Sur�ency, and who have not felt compelled to solve itUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.by devoting themselves to the daily routine, lament­ing the suspension of higher intellectual activity.The Chautauqua movement has been a potent factorin the solution of this question. It is probablyimpossible for anyone to state adequately the servicewhich the movement has rendered, not only in quick­ening the intellectual life of American communities,but of those in England and Europe as well.One of the difficulties besetting University Exten­sion in America has been due to the fact that univer­sity and college instructors are already fully occupiedin discharging the duties of the class room. TheUniversity of Chicago has undertaken to meet thisdifficulty by establishing a special division of the U ni­versity devoted to the prosecution of this work; it hasgone further, and has undertaken to extend its influ­ence, not only by the lecture courses, but by givinginstruction by correspondence, and by conductingclasses in different parts of the city and suburbs, inwhich the instruction of the class room upon thecampus shall be duplicated. It offers, under certaincarefully-guarded restrictions, to allow a non-residentstudent to pursue by either of these two methods(but not by the lecture-study courses), one-half of hisundergraduate course, and one-third of his graduatecourse.University Extension is doubtless even yet in itsformative period. Its most ardent advocates do notcount themselves as yet to have apprehended, butthey are pressing on, believing in its possibilitieswhile they are at the same time, keenly alive to itsdangers. One of the chief cautions which we take toourselves, and urge upon others, is that we callthings by their right names; that we look carefullyat every appliance of University Extension, and tryto answer for ourselves and the public truly the ques­tion,-whatisthisworth? What can it do? Whatcan it not do? It is not claimed that UniversityExtension represents a revolution in education;rather let us say, it is an enlargement or a supple­ment of the appliances of education hi therto in use.It comes forward to supersede nothing alreadyl 3approved, It offers no short cut--no royal road tolearning. It will still be necessasy that those whodesire all the advantages of University training shouldgive themselves to that work in residence at the Uni­versity for a period of years. The facilities offeredby the Chautauqua system, so far from being inrivalry with those of University Extension, are foundto co-operate with it to the very greatest advantage.The best centres for University Extension are usuallyfound in communities where Chautauqua circlesflourish, and again it is found that where UniversityExtension flourishes, the Chautauqua work is takenup with added interest, Again University Extensiondoes not come forward to supersede the popular lee­ture, an element of untold value in the developmentof culture' in all our communities for the past twogenerations; the popular lecture will always be indemand, and will always have its function of useful­ness to discharge. But with our universities crowdedto the doors, with Chautauqua circles throughout thelength and breadth of the land, with the popular lec­ture courses carrying their messages of culture and. entertainment to all our towns and cities, it will stillremain that the universities have very much whichthey have hitherto confined within their own prem­ises, which men and women who cannot attend themcan, neverthelesss, make use of and which the uni­versities alone can give them. And so the Universitythrows its doors wide-open; not that more may enter,but that learning may go forth. It ceases to regarditself as primarily the conservator of learning; itbecomes its dispenser, and seeks to extend to society,regardless of class or employment, the opportunitiesof higher education.All must rejoice in this enlargement of the sphereof university influence. If this movement is wiselydirected, the influence of learned men, of books, andof the appliances of teaching will pass beyond thewalls and the campus of the college, and the greatschools will become, as never before, great lights tothe regions in which they are situated.CHICAGO VERSE.THE WAIL OF THE MAN WITHOUT CASH.Broke, broke, broke,On the cold hard stones, 0, street.With never a red in my pocket,And Hary a bite to eat.Broke, broke, broke,While I sit on this curbstone and thinkOf the good things I'd like to be eating.And the liquor I long so to drink.Broke, broke, broke,And again for the thirtieth timeI go through the list of my pockets,00 a vain, hopeless search for a dime.

In commenting upon a recenteastern foot-ball game,in which several of the playerswere more or less seriously inj ured, an editorialwriter compares the average college player to thepugilist of the present day. He says: "Corbett orMitchell have fully as inteilectual faces as thosewho represent Yale, Harvard or Princeton. Thegreat foot-ball player is not a Greek god in beauty."Here the writer failed to bring out the importantpoint that in the case the foot-ball player the inten-'tention was not bad, while he admitted that thepugilist's object was to injure his opponent. Hefurther said:" Published reports of recen t foot-ball performances betweenrepresentatives of different colleges point to a state of affairs d's­creditablein a high degree. It is plainly said that certain young menin different' teams' were many times over squarely struck in theface and elsewhere with clinched fists, and came out of the gamecarrying the same marks they would have borne from a drunkenstreet brawl."Qne youth was killed by the treatment received in a garr.e.UN1VERsrty OF CHicAGO WEEKLY.This might happen by accident in a rough-and-tumble scramble,euphemistically called a 'game' or 'sport,' but the use of fisticuffsstartles one with the revelation that one of the means of winningthese games is to purposely inflict bodily injury on a competitor.

VOTAW.To THE EDIToR:---,What has became of the Athenaeum society,and why has not the president called a meeting?SEVERAL MEMBERS.To THE EDITOR OF THE WEEKLy:-Sir: Will you allow mespace to call attention to several matters which seem to need aword? First of all, the press department has became notoriousfor failure to fulfill its orders. For three weeks I have asked atvarious times for examination blank books, and (like many others)have been put off with the delusive answer, "We are expecting.them every day." There must be concerns enough in this city which could 'supply such books after a few days' notice if order­were given them. Blank books to-morrow and blank books yes­terday! Pray when are we to have blank books to-day? Yet thisis only one example of failure to obtain books. Again studentsusing the department libraries would be saved some inconvenienceif the attendants were familiar with the titles of books on theshelves. The catalogues (where there are any) are incomplete,and the books are too frequently misplaced, especially whereseveral department libraries occupy one room. The books ingreatest demand have a way of disappearing. I know not whetherthey are taken from the rooms, or are carelessly placed in thedrawers of the tables. At all events there is evident laxity whichseems in great part unnecessary. At the eleventh hour notice isposted of the arrival of the long looked for blank books.

Hitherto the intercourse has been restrictedto general migrations at meal times under stress ofhard necessity. More formal visits are being madeso pleasant by the entertaining houses that the officesof painter and carpenter will not be needed muchlonger to promote sociability.The Beecher girls had the pleasure of entertain­ing Mrs. Walker at lunch last week. As the daugh­ter of Mr. Silas Cobb and sister of Mr. Walker, thedonor of the museum, she is a welcome guest to allthe University; but it is as niece of Mrs. Beecherthat she holds a special place in the heart of thehouse.The union of the old and riew elements in the hallW3.S formally sealed last Friday evening by the firstgeneral house-meeting. The previous hospitality ofthe A. C. C. 's found a hearty response from thecharter members. When it came to matters of busi­ness, the new comers proved to be in entire accordwith the past policy of the house. Beecher is- justlyproud of the good fellowship that has developed inthe midst of the violent rivalry of the past weeks.In spite of the prosperity of the University thereare still many things which it lacks. There areinstitutions which take years to establish and these,of course, are missing, but it will be joyful news tothose interested that" Fudges" have come in. Theymade their first appearance at a peanut party givenby Misses Gilbert, Maynard and Sturgis in the lat­ter's room. Fudges, as every college girl knows, area combination of chocolate, gas-jet, sugar, saucepan and milk, elements quite indistinguishable in theideal results. To make them most effective theyhave an ample setting of toasted marsh-mallows,pickles, peanuts and olives galore. These were gen­erously suppled. As the gas waned to a midnig hjpallor, the company revived their spirits with ghost­stories told in harrowing accents. On the whole theaffair was refreshing to the young women who seemedto enjoy its informality, quite as much as the d ign ityof their previous receptions.KELLY N0TES.There will be an entertainment given at KellyHall on Saturday evening, N ovem ber z yth, from 8to 10 o'clock, to which all members of the Universityare cordially invited. There is every promise of ajolly evening. The price of tickets is twenty-fivecents each. A few extra nickels may not come amiss.Tickets of admissions may be obtained at Miss Tal­bot's office in Cobb Hall on Friday and Saturdayfrom II to 12:30 and from 2:30 to 3:30.Last Saturday Miss Talbot entertained a smallcompany at dinner. Her guests included some mem­bers of Snell House. An opportunity was given themto meet the members of Kelly House. Music andreading added to the pleasure of the evening.A party of gentlemen prowling about the Women'sQuadrangle recently were challenged on enteringKelly Hall, and proved to be the president and treas­urer of the board of trustees with other friends of theUniversity. They declared that the open fire burn­ing in the reception room hearth gave a homelike airto the hall, and they seemed to carry away a pleasantimpression of the hall-life.ATHLETICS.ENDED IN DARKNESS.TIME was called in the game between Lake Forestand Chicago last Saturday just as the 'Varsityteam was about to try for goal. If goal had beenkicked the honors of a poorly-played but hard earnedfoot-ball victory would have been Chicago's, for it isextremely doubtful if Lake Forest could have scoredin the little time that would have been left. As itwas, however, the score was 14 to 14, and for thesecond time in two successive years these two teamshave fought a game to a tie.The contest on a whole was one of the poorestthat has ever disgraced the 'Varsity gridiron field.Ten successive fumbles resulting in as many succes­sive losses, including one touchdown, were chargedagainst Chicago, while the record of Lake Forest'smisplays was nearly as bad. It was a miserableexhibition of foot-ball, and had it not been for the - closeness of the score and the rivalry shown in bothsides, one would have thought it was merely a prac­tice game between two elevens just starting in at thegame. Darkness brought the contest to a fittingclose.Lake Forest took the ball at the kick-off, and thegame began with a flying-wedge. Chicago gettingthe ball soon after on four downs, Sikes was sentaround right end but dropped the ball on the pass.Foles picked it up and easily scored a touchdown.Williams kicked goal. Fifteen minutes later Allensecured the first touchdown for Chicago on a buckbetween right guard and tackle. Sikes failed on thegoal-kick, and the first half ended with the score, 6 to4, in the Foresters' favor. The second half lastedbut twenty minutes, in which Williams and Kelloggsecured touchdowns for Lake Forest, and Wyant andAllen, two for Chicago.UNiVERSITy OF CHICACO WEEKLY.ALUMNI CHICAGOENSES.IT may not be generally known that Mayor Swift,though not a graduate, was for some time astudent of the University of Chicago, taking nearlythe full course.

Translated and compiled by Samuel PalmerGriffin and Fredrick T. Hill, 16 mo, cloth. D. Appleton & Co. $.50.This little book will be welcomed by all lovers of Balzac, whoin reading his works must often have wished they might remember.: the bright bits of wit and wisdom that flashed from his pen.Balzac could say things in a terse, dense way that commandsattention. Here are a few of his sayings:"We spend the greater part of our lives in weeding from ourhearts what was allowed to grow there in youth. This operationis called acquiring experience.""There are two kinds of silliness-the silent and the talkative.Silent silliness is supportable."Apropos of the late election, how is this?" Principles are the pivots on which hang the needles of thepolitical barometer."Here is one for students to judge of its truth:" A good University education costs sixty thousand francsIf the education of the world does cost double, it teaches you toknow life, politics, men, and sometimes women."The work is accompanied by an appreciative character-sketchof Balzac.Mental Development in the Child, by W.
