The roomwas dark except for the dim red light shining infrom the hall, and the odor of Japanese incense per­vaded the room. The last strains of Chopin's TwelfthNocturne had died away into the world where allgood strains go, and I laid my weary head for amoment against the music before me. It was notmore than a minute before I heard a wee voice say:," Bonnie lassie, will ye gang, will ye gang?"I looked around and saw the funniest little spriteimaginable, beside me. His head was black andoblong, and his body nothing but a stem." Why hello," I said, "you look just like that lastnote I played, only you are not long enough.""Oh, that's all right," he said, "I left the 'hold'at horne. Come on."He took my hand, and I felt myself, with noresistance, being drawn to somewhere. The scenewas changed so utterly, that I waited breathlessly tosee what would happen. We came to a gate and onit was written the first two bars of "Home SweetHorne. "" That's what it is," said my guide with a know­ing look.He knocked, and the gate opened. We enteredand I looked eagerly around. The ground or floorhad the queerest look. It was like an enormous grid­iron, and the narrow black bars seemed a treacherousfoothold for a mortal like myself. But I g ave a gaspand plunged forward behind the little man who gam­boled on ahead of me as easily as though he were ondry land.." Please wait a minute," I cried, and as he stop­ped, I crept slowly over the gridiron, which, by theway, was not hot, to where he stood grinning diabol­icallyat me."" Where am I," I said,' "or am I, or am I not?"" Yes" he said, "you are. This is the land ofnotes and notable people. This is the kingdom ofmusic, and you will meet all your old friends andenemies here."" ., But why this discrepancy in the matter offloor?" I wailed, looking down at my feet, which Iwas vainly endeavoring to keep fixed on the narrowperch." Why this is the universal staff. Did you eversee notes on anything but lines and spaces?" I groaned aloud and said with a martyr-like air,"Go on."Well, we "went on " and -looking to my right Ispied a group of little notes playing about in the gay­est manner possible."Who are they," I asked my guide.., Show this mortal who you are " he said, and,straight-way they arranged themselves one afteranother, and as they stood there a soft wind seemedto blow over them. Quick as thought all the othernotes who stood about, began dancing, for the tunethey played was" Money Musk," and I said, "Ohyes, I know that, my sister plays that, and you -justought to hear her do it." The notes began to lookdisgusted at this praise of some one else, and thehead one said sulkily, "All right, go and get her todo it for you then, if you aren't satisfied," .and in spiteof my protestations, the bar broke up and they beganto play leap-note, which is played much as we mortalsplay leap-frog." Look" I cried, turning and grasping the flag .ofthe little note with me, "look at those poor creat­ures." I pointed to a group of three notes manacledtogether, going about in a crazed manner, tearingtheir hair and moaning to themselves in a way trulyblood-curdling. My guide whose name was "HyGee," turned, looked calmly at the figures that hadexcited my compassion, thrust his hands into -hispockets and said, "yes, they art funny.""Funny" I exclaimed, horror stricken, "It's fear­ful, why don't you do something for them?""Oh they are all right," Hy Gee said with alaugh, "They are only the 'Lost Chord;' perhapsyou have heard of it. Sullivan put them up to it,and they cannot stop now. They are lost, or theirsouls are, and they go about trying to find themselves.There comes a 'A Natural' from 'Consolation' tohelp them. She is always doing that. I guess shemakes them feel a good deal better."" A Natural" was a sad, sweet-faced little woman,who going up to the "Lost Chord" seemed to beable to sooth those awful moans. At. any rate, Iheard in the distance a sweet strain which soundedlike "Earth has no sorrow which. Heaven cannotcure. ""There's' Ca'ronation' over there, do you not seethem ?"2 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKL':'JI turned my gaze, to where he pointed, and saw agroup of quarter notes standing about, seeming tolook for some one."You ought to know that," continued By Gee," You used to' go college, didn't you? I have heardthose notes say that they used to get called outevery single morning for weeks at a time in Chapel,and it was such a relief when vacation came and theycould get rested for the next year's siege.""Who are those two happy looking individualsmeandering toward us?" I asked. But before HyGee could say anything, one of the couple began tosing, "She's my sweetheart, I'm her beau, she's myAnnie, I'm her Joe.""Well" I said, as I hurried forward and gaveeach of them a hand, "Annie Rooney, I am glad tosee you; I thought you had gone utterly out of exist­ence, and here you are again.,' "Oh .yes," pipedAnnie, "now we're 'married, never to part," but wekeep out of sight of you mortals most of the time,"and off she danced. I gazed after them as theydeparted. But my eyes soon left them for whatseemed to me a very strange sight. There was acircle of tiny notes standing and looking down be­tween the bars of the gridiron, from whence shrieksof terror and agony seemed to rise, while runningabout with pails of water in their hands, were othernotes."Do tell me what the matter is over there." Isaid to Hy Gee. "Come and see for yourself," hereplied; so with a sigh I gave up the comparativelyfirm footing I had gained after many trials and muchpatience, and hobbled after him. We soon arrivedat the scene of action. I was surprised at the workthat was being done. The notes with the pails werecontinually pouring water through the spaces uponthe flames that were leaping up from below. I askedone of the notes that was standing in the circle, whatwas the cause of the disturbance, and he said with anunconcerned air, as though it was. quite the usualthing, "Scotland's burning."" \Vhy of course" said I, "I might have knownthat. But why do you always keep this circle?""Because its a ' round,' ignorant mortal," he said,and deliberately turned his back on me to watch theproceedings.Thus silenced, I moved away as rapidly as I could,for note-able people are not always the most polite,and I feared that I might receive something evenmore humiliating than this last rebuff."See that procession over there?" said Hy Gee,poking his flag into my arm, "Yes, but. what is it,wedding, funeral, or triumph?" I inquired." Neither" he replied, _" that's' Marching ThroughGeorgia;' but they never get there. They havekept it up year after year, and never give up trying."At one side of the procession and moving towardus, was a tall? slender note. His movements were dignified and stately, and occasionally he paused,bowing deeply to some invisible person. The mostpeculiar characteristics of this note was his head. Itwas surrounded with a yellowish, reddish, whitishirridescent halo. He looked for all the world likea dandeli�n gone to seed and dyed yellow. I knewhim in an instant; he was Paderewski's Minuet. ByGee was so surprised when I ejaculated "Pader­ewski!" that he fairly jumped."Why," he said, "do you know him? He andhis set are new acquisitions to our country, and Ihardly know him myself."" Oh yes" I replied warmly, "he has inheritedhis father's hair, and anyone would know him bythat. ""Here come 'Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-ay,' 'After theBall' and the 'Picture -Th at \Vas Turned TowardThe Wall,'" said Hy Gee, giving me a laughingglance.I gave one look at the Boom-de-ay crowd, andquickly turned around, attempting to run away.Before I could go a step, they had seen and sur­rounded me with joined hands. With diabolicalgrins they danced about me shrieking, "Ta ra-ra­boom-de-ay, Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-ay.",. Stop, stop" I cried, putting my hands over myafflicted ears, and trying to shut out the sound; btl tin vain, for the shrill tones still came, b-o-o-m-i-de­ay--, and in despair, I fell on my knees and beggedfor mercy. I wept, I wrung my hands,' and at lastthey ceased, only as I promised that I would neverallow any mortal to murder them again. Then theyall ran off laughing at my distress. I dried mystreaming eyes and looked about too see if there wasnothing to take that Jast painful scene from me, andsuch a group of queer, doubled-up little notes, I saw."Who are they" I whispered to my companion,for I did not wish to hurt their feelings?"Oh, don't you know them," he said loudly."They are tunes an ancient member of the bovinerace died on." "H ush," I said, "they will hear you. "" No they won't" he replied. "They are stonedeaf, they can't even hear themselves. If they could,they would have been dead long before this."" Do any of your notes ever die?" I asked."Yes" he said. " Now there was Margueri te,she died; she tried awful hard not to, and we did allwe could to keep her from it, but we just couldn'thelp it. You mortals nearly murdered her, and shecame home here and died; poor Marguerite, youremember her? 'I would not chide thee, chide thee,Marguerite,' that one.". "Yes, I remember her.""And McGinty' he died too, he lives now only inthe hearts of his country men. He was drowned, andit killed him. But some of our people are hundredsof years old. One of the oldest families is Luther's,<Ein Feste-Burg ist Unser Gott.' We love the bandUNIVERSilY o�.. CHtCAGO WEEkLY.of little black-gowned pilgrims, with their quiet deter­mined faces, and when we feel discouraged we go tothem, and they always help us. And all that Beet­ho ven ; Schubert, Mozart and Chopin have given us,will never grow old, either with us or you mortals.But what to us are the dearest and sweetest of all thenotes, are those which sing, "Home Sweet Home."They will be passing by in a few minute's, and I willask them to sing it for you." We waited a moment, and they came. At a signalthey grouped themselves, and I heard for the firsttime in its fullest sweetness, that beautiful melody.The voices swelled and grew fuller at each line, andafter working to a grand crescendo, the melody diedaway into a whisper of love and comfort,and I awoke tofind myself truly at home, with my book open beforeme, and the little notes standing sedately in a row,where I had always seen them-at their post.MAJORS AND MINORS.All Seniors should attend the Class Meeting Fri­day, December 8th at 5 p. m.H.

On the sporting or criminal page?' "Petty thefts at the University are becoming alto­gether too common to be pleasant. Nearly all thehouses on the quadrangle have been visited by sneak. thieves and in every instance the evidence has seemedto indicate that the thieves were well acquainted withtheir surroundings. Foster Hall, Cobb Hall, base­ment offices, Snell House and the examiner's office have been visited by miscreants and only last Sundaya robbery took place. This time it was the Divinityhall which suffered. Allen, the" old war .horse" offoot-ball fame, had been ill and Sunday while he wasasleep in Middle Divinity, some sneak entered hisroom and removed every available bit of property.Two detectives have been employed to keep a lookoutat night, but thus far they have not succeeded in cap­turing the thieves or in- obtainin-g' evid-ence againstanyone. It seems probable that we have in our midstindividuals who are engaged in systematic robberies.Every person on the campus should be careful tolock his room upon leaving it, as no one is safeagainst loss. No punishment is too severe for the manwho robs his unsuspecting friends or acquaintances.The WEEKLY would like to know why no lightsare provided for the vestibule of Kent Labaratory.Night after night students are compelled to grope andstumble around the dark hallway in the attempt tolocate the English library. This matter should havethe attention of the authorities at once.It is expected that the Divinity School receptionto be held this evening will be in every way a mostenjoyable affair. The Missionary Society has thematter in charge and is doing· all that is possible tobring about a better social life among the Divinitymen.

The storymust contain not less than eight hundred nor morethan eighteen hundred words.. The WEEKLY reservesthe right to print not only the prize story, but any ofthe other stories which may be found worthy. Unused MSS., will be returned to the author. A com­mittee consisting of two members of the faculty, andthe managing editor of the WEEKLY will judge thecontributions and award the prize January zoth.A FEW weeks ago we made the request of anywho were interested in foot-ball to answer theqUestion, "Is foot- ball a brutal and degrading sport?"Among the contributions we have received, IS onewhich in its way is decidedly unique. The writertakes the affirmative view and declares that it is bothbrutal and degrading. In a lengthy argument, fromwhich it is plainly evident that the author "takes awoman's view of the case," he proves to his own satis­faction that "foot-ball is merely a contest betweenbrutes, arranged for the purpose of paying off oldgrudges." Among the arguments advanced are a few,which for silliness discount anything- on foot-ballwhich has yet appeared in print. The writer says:;, Men who play foot- ball rarely amount to anythingin after life. If they escape serious injury duringtheir college careers they either become professionalcoachers or prize-fighters. Thousands of disabled A final and most con-vincing statement is, "thereis not one public man in America who ever kicked afoot-ball." Really the man (or perhaps the woman)from whom this clever (?) communication emanated,must have a very hazy idea of what the game of foot­ball is. We publish his arguments with no fear thatthey may influence anyone, however opposed to thegame. It is our belief that sentimentalism enters toooften into the talk against the brutality of foot-ball.Tender hearted people have a place in the world;humane societies were instituted for their especialbenefit. Foot-ball with its element of roughness isnot for them.** '"THE notice of the meeting of the UniversityUnion may be found in another column, Thisorganization .was formed for the purpose of makingliterary and social life more general among the stu­dents, and every person attending the Universityshould show by his attendance at the quarterly meet­ings his appreciation of its efforts.** *IT HAS long been the hope of the WEEKLY that the-time might come when an occasion�l din�er wouldunite its edi tors. But the policy pursued of puttingevery cent of income into the improvement and ex­pansion of the paper has prevented. The humbledesires of the WEEKLY, however, never reached tosuch a summit of good cheer as it was the privilegeof the editorial board to find last Thursday evening,thanks to the genial hospitality of Mr. August C.Mills. The WEEKLY appreciates deeply the mannerin which Mr. Mills has displayed his interest in theUniversity, and it has been determined to continuethe social custom so opportunely begun.

Mil1s of the Windermere Hotel last Thurs­day evening. The private hall of the beautiful\Vindermere was filled with a happy crowd of collegepeople, whose ardor, neither the foot ball defeat of themorning nor a blinding snowstorm could dampen.When Mr. Mills, the host, arose to make the addressof welcome, the following editors and ladies wereseated:Messrs.­Henry C. Murphy,CharlesH. Gallion,Janies Westfall Thompson,Wilbur Kelso,George 1.. Hunter,Charles Sumner Pike,John Lamay,Thomas W. Moran.. � '.Mr. Mills, in welcoming his guests, said:"Editors of the WEEKLY, ladies and gentlemen: I am mosthappy to have you with me to-night. From the very inception ofthe University I watched its rapid growth with interest, and I havefelt that from it would come a new kind of life into the city ofChicago.' I have appreciated highly the efforts of the WEEKLY toexpress that life, and in perusing its columns, I came to feel asympathy with the-jeditors, which led me to welcome you hereto-night. "Mr. Gallion thanked the host in behalf of the edit-Misses­Florence Wilkinson,Jane K. Weatherlow,Frances Williston,M. A. Spalding,Bessie Messick,Louise Scovel,Alice E. Moran.ors of the WEEKLY. He said:"It is my pleasant duty, Mr. and Mrs. Mills, to extend toyou the heartfelt thanks of the editorial board of the WEEKLY forso kindly permitting us to partake of your hospitality. In all ofour minds there is constantly associated with the idea of Thanks­giving Day two things -the re-uniting of the family circle, and themore pleasing anticipations of the traditional turkey dinner. Theformer, owing to the shortness of our vacation, is to-day denied us.The latter, your forethought and munificence have provided us.Be assured that this evidence of your regard will be appreciated,not only by those of us who are 'striving to make the college papera success, but by everyone interested in the welfare of the Univer­sity. "The long and interesting menu was interpersedwith the liveliest conversation, which ceased onlywhen the toastmaster, Mr. Hunter, proposed the firsttoast, "To the University of Chicago." He said:"The first place in our hearts is rightly given to her whosehealth I am about to propose. Frpm widely-separated towns andcities of this broad land we have come to her embrace. And in her...:ve have indeed found an Alma Mater. Her years are few, Yetshe has the wisdom of age. For Minerva-like, she sprang, clad inthe full armor of scholarship, from the brain of our honored pres­ident, William Rainey Harper. John D. Rockefeller hastened toact as her godfather.

And in her brief past they read thepromise of her glorious future. "The toast to Kelly was introduced with the follow-,ing doggerel: THE EDITORS.The joy of our hearts and the plague of our lives:-­Is Kelly.They do such things and they say such things:-In Kelly.I'll tell you sure that never I thoughtSuch sights could for so little be bought.We entered the door of the magic House;Not a soul seemed stirring not even a mouse,Queer figures stood, immovable quiteBut their palms once crossed, they howled with delight.For nickel in the slot machines were they ,And all their antics they did for pay.And Topsy danced and danced again,While crowding to see her came curious menWho wavered between her's and Zaidees charmThough Zaidee's snake filled all with alarm.And the Sister combed, and the Giantess grew,While the Hydrocephalous glanced askew,At the Bodiless Woman, who caricatured,'Toe Faculty fast to the walls immured.In Kelly-In Kelly.They do such things and they say such things.In Kelly.Miss Messick responded by saying:"You must not think that the toastmaster in telling of the gaypart of our life at Kelly has told Y':lU all our life. We are not the'frivolous individuals that he would seelp to picture us. I, couldtell tales of midnight study which would make you shudder. Forthe Kelly girl is, above all, conscientious and never forgets' theobject for which she came to the University."A toast was then gi ven to the ladies to whom M f.Hunter showed his loyalty as follows:"I have been unhappy all my life, although never until thismoment did I realize the extent' of my unhappiness. T;-v? yearsin Exeter, four years at Harvard, I passed in monastic seclusion.When I entered the University of Chicago, I knew that co-educa­tion was to be the order of the day. To my mind came theideas common to those who' have lived the half life and I resolvedto pursue the even tenor of my way, unmoved by femininesmiles. But the constant vision of bright fac�s troubled me.And when to the other charmers, the fair inhabitants of Beecher,Kelly and Foster were added as arguments for the superiority ofthe other sex, I felf my weakness: To-night at this feast sofittingly graced by the choicest of our maidens, I come to myrecantation'.

Now I declineto be looked upon as the camel of the editorial board. I tra­verse no deserts of hot shifting sands and carry no straws tobe knocked off by rival editors.

Fellow-editors, youmay feel a distinct thrill of happiness when I tell you that it isowing to your efforts that my brain is still clear and that my headis not bald. When last evening the toastmaster told me that Iwould be expected to answer to the WEEKLY, I said, 'But, Hun­ter, what can I say?' '0,' he replied, 'say things.' Now myinterpretation of that remark is this: Mr. Hunter, realizingthat the managing editor must be included among the speakersat a newspaper banquet and feeling that I could do nothing bet­ter, expressed his exact meaniog . He also said that to be laugh,able I should try to be serious. Now I am going to say 'things' andbe serious. This happy occasion gives me an opportunity tothank each individual member of the board.

One single department of the University would have beenenough to occupy one for hours. Yet banish that wearied lookwhich comes over your faces at the mention of hours of talk.

Outside "the snow, like a blanket, cov­ered cabin and stye"-while on our cheerful hearththe crackling fire sent forth warm welcome fromits glowing coals. What a comfort it was to comefrom the snow-covered scene of a desperate conflictto the homelike warmth and peace of Kelly. Thelong dining table with its immaculate cover, its spark­ling vases of exquisite roses and ferns, and its bounti­ful supply of "good things" was a no less welcomesight. Many a joke and hearty laugh was indulgedin under its happy influence, but everything has anend-and so did our Thanksgiving dinner. Afterdinner we gathered around the hearth of one of thecoziest rooms in Kelly and listened to one of the goodold southern stories-to memories of homes des­troyed-delivered over into the hands of strangers­of the southern love and faithfulness. We sat gazinginto the coals and dreaming of our own homelandsand kindred on this Thanksgiving day--Till the day was done, and the darknessFell from the wings of night,As a feather is wafted downwardFrem an eagle in its flight.FOSTER NOTESThe long deferred hopes of a piano at Foster are. now fully realized; for, through the kindness of Mr.Wardner Williams, a beautiful Knabe parlor-grandarri ved the day before Thanksgiving. Both as ameaus and as an end, its merits were ,most satisfact­orily tested on Thanksgiving Eve and on 'Thanksgiv­ing day.Full appreciation of the Thanksgiving holiday wasshown by the members of Foster Hall. All books, except a well-thumbed "Treatise on Football" sokindly given by the author, were laid-aside. Frequentbeguiling strains from the new piano allured eventardiest members to test the dancing capacities of thenewly oiled floors-with a result tho' perhaps not sosliding as Kelly's, yet equally equally adapted in swift­ness worthy of a N anc_; H. to the delirious mazes ofthe waltz and Virginia Reel. At certain hours of theday and night, visitors at Foster might have supposed,from the tempting (?) odors of pop-corn, chocolateand roasted marsh-mallows filling the halls, thatFoster was the kitchen of the quadrangle, instead ofKelly.After mature deliberation: and since the soft strainsof the sweet toned piano have been filling every nookand corner of her halls, Foster has decided not tobuild the proposed wing on to her sister hall in orderto use her piano. In fact Foster is becoming a verit­able conservatory. At almost any time of the dayor night you may hear her gentle (?) airs soaringheavenwards, sometimes from the mandolin and gui­tar club, and sometimes from the merry glee club,nay-perhaps even a stray whistle of Foster's House­song.Foster has decided to be heroic. She is still avery young housekeeper, but it is her aim to be un­selfish and let the world profit by her experiences, nomatter how great the sacrifice she makes in telling it.N ow, it is the subject of floors: when you have yourfloors varnished, have them oiled instead. 1£ you dohave them varnished, however, don't at first use thirty­cent varnish, like the economical little house-wife youprobably are, and then later, when that doesn't wearhave them done with three-dollar varnish.

They. turned the tables so successfullythat the wistful look was on the faces of the othergirls when they heard how their places had been filled.Those two long flower-decked tables, surrounded bythe most cheerful looking "remnant" imaginable,with the gaps filled with guests from city and campus,had anything but a lonely look. People discoveredthat a 'hygienic' Thanksgiving dinner is capable ofbeing a most festive affair, its possibilities stretchingto admit even pumpkin and mince pies.The afternoon was filled with the traditional games.�Then the prodigals came in almost as fast as theguests for rhe evening's entertainment. After thatthere was not a minute's pause in anybody's enjoy­ment till Beecher's Thanksgiving closed the nextmorning in a blaze of glory.A -very successful little party was given in MissDawes' room last week in honor of a flying visitfrom her sister. The intellectual character ofthe' games provided for met even Beecher'si deal.: Those may have heen surpnsed to haveheard the hilarious sounds that penetrated the wallsthat evening; sounds not exactly suggestive of labor­ing brains. Some of them may be accounted for bythe' debut of Henry Ward, the Beecher cat, whopromises to be an immense social success. The eve­ning resulted in the addition of a brand new coupletto the Beecher Hall Epic, in honor of"Sisters Dawes,Who have won our great applause."and,' as someone sagely concluded, "not withoutcause.

Bountiful was the hospitality not only in thebright entertainment which was afforded the guests,but also in the dainty refreshments that were served.The reception was so great a social success that eventhe inhabitants of Kelly and Foster were almost per­suaded to agree with the words of the song thatBeecher contained "all of the beauty and most ofthe grace."To be sure the tragic suicides of the maiden andthe docent in the song-pantomime, so wittily com­posed and cleverly adapted by Miss Wallace, cast atemporary gloom over the happiness of the guests.For the shadow had scarcely chased away until thereappearance of the very realistic actors assured theaudience that they were still in the .flesh. The im­provised curtain and stage were monuments to theingenuity of the house and proved conclusively thatin addition to its unusual endowment of dramaticand musical talent it possesses that greatest of allgifts, adaptability to existing circumstances.The Glee Club gave their friends a glimpse intothe inner life of the house by singing the songs of theA. C. C. 's and Beecher Hall, in which the chartermembers declared that"Beecher had a littlp club;Its name was A. C. C."The A. C. C. 's responded, singing' loyally of the"Merriest club that ever could be."The rivals laid such· stress upon their feud thatthe audience looked askance at "the house dividedagainst itself" until they heard the words:"What makes us love the A. C. C. 'sThe charter members cried;Because we all are Beecher girls,"The A. C. C. 's replied."And so our long divided heartsThe fellowship rebind,Shouting the battle cry of Beecher!And work for Beecher's glory now.With heart and soul and mind,Shouting the battle cry of Beecher!"UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Still the mystery of the magic letters A.

A GUEST.The Gown in College Life.Every reader of that charming sketch of Oxfordlife in which the haps and mishaps of Mr. VerdantGreen are made the happy vehicle for a host ofinformation concerning Oxford life, will recall hisvisit to the gownmaker and his choice of a scholar'sgown to the amusement of the tradesman who tellshim he will be "�infringing the University statues"to wear it. The gown plays a considerable partthroughout the sketch as, indeed, it ought, so intim­ately are cap and gown connected with every phaseof college life in England. The present movementin our colleges toward wearing the cap and gowngives rise to the question whether they will ultimatelyplay so large a part in our colleges. It seems notunreasonable to prophesy a steady growth of the cus­tom u n til it becomes here as in England a part andparcel of college life.The gown has been worn in the older Easterncolleges by the Faculty-at least theoretically-andby the president or chancellor at high function-s fromearly times. The portraits of the first officers andprofessors in some of these institutions show themrobed in the gown of their office, but the later pic­tures in many instances have no gowns and show onlythe plain dress of every day. Recen t years, however,mark a return to the custom and, strangely enough,the impetus has come from the student body in almostevery instance. This has arisen from the practicecommon among the seniors to wear gowns during thecelebration of Commencement week. In some col­leges the juniors have also worn the gown at the sametime, especially in the colleges in which some of theclass ceremonies involve their attendance in a formalmanner. It is an easy step from this stage to theconditions which now obtain in our own University,and the action of the authorities in making the gownan essential feature of college life simply gives ex­pression to the idea now prevalent in many of thecolleges of the United States. The action is no moreradical than may be found in many other departures.from the ordinary college procedures, and like mostof these departures, in the response to the demandsof the present. K.A VitafOuestion.What do we mean by college spirit? If one werecompelled to use the inductive method and discoverhis principles through an investigation of the fact as found in our University, he would have to go elsewherefor an answer to our query. But a definition fortu­nately has been found in other colleges. Collegespirit means self-sacrifice first, second and last. Thereare seven hundred students who croak over lack ofenthusiasm, but who are willing to make not onepetty sacrifice of personal or pecuniary conveniencefor the sake of the whole. There are seven hundredpessimists wailing over our lack. of enthusiasm whonever lift hand or voice to produce that enthusiasm.Last year we had a House of Congress, where isit now? Sick abed with laiser-faire-itis. We had aLiterary. Society, where is it? Hobbling around oncrutches with a sprained ankle, the result of Ilardkicks. Where is the Oratorical Society? It startedout most auspiciously: was snubbed by its presidentand now is moribund, because there are not enoughself-sacrificing men to devote a few hours to its up­building. And so on, and so on. If we have a pre­ceden t past, let us make a living, virile, noble,altruistic present, If history is not at our hands, letus make history. If you desire to' have an athleticassociation, take a five dollar or a one dollar bill toProfessor Stagg and say': here is my contribution; itis all I can spare, but take it and welcome." Otherswill follow. If you want to revive the Literary andOratorical Societies, start out some afternoon, lookup the proper officials and have a meeting called atonce. You can do it, yesyou,l,l Don't wait for someone else to lead, you do the leading. Make a sacri­fice, do something, give up an hour or two hours; getup an hour earlier in the morning to make up thelost time, if need be, but do something.One word to those. who don't believe in Athleticsor Oratorical, or Literary Societies. Do you thinl�you are doing all your duty when you pay $100 a yearfor your tuition? Do you not. know that you are infact a recipient of some one's charity to the extent of$300 or $400 dollars a year? That it costs the Uni­versity four dollars for your tui tion for every dollaryou .spend? What return are you making? You'stay 111 your study unless compelled to leave it formeals or recitations, in the plea that you are notinterested in �nything outside of these, and that youhave not a minute to spare for outside matters. Wet�ll you th.at suc.h a course is the sublimation of ego­trsm. It IS. a wI�ful n��lect of duty, of obvious duty,and the U niver sity spirrt suffers accordingly. Thereis no disputing this fact.There are forty or fifty enthusiasts (perhaps notso ma?-y), who are. carrying on all the society andathletic work of the University. The stay-at-homesare alw.ays ready to criticise, but never ready to lenda helping hand. These are plain, homely truths.There is no college spirit, not because of a lack ofp:ecedent and h�story, but because the dormitoryhives are filled with drone bees. There is rio Uni­versity enthusiasm because wantonly or otherwise, weare a sel fcentered egotistic band. Let us change this.Let us get to work, make sacrifices, let us push, urgeand the college spirit wlll be here. '916 UNiVERSrrY OF CHICAGO Wg�f{LY"WITH THE ATHLETIC EDITOR.Now that the great Thanksgiving Day gamebetween Michigan and Chicago has been playedoff and the guerdon of this season's final contest onthe gridiron field has gone to "our friends-the even­ing"-we again seize tenacious hold on Old Time'sfoot-ball bang, and give utterance to the oracle thatis even now welling up within us to voice the victoriesthat are to come in future seasons. This year's team,although many per cent. above the standard of theUniversity eleven of '92, was not, we believe, what itmight have been if properly managed. As an elevenof individual players, we congratulate each and everyman on the team, but as a team-and it is the teamthat counts in these days of flying mass interferenceand rn omen tous . manceurves-we merely say it hassurpassed last year's team. There certainly has beena hitch somewhere, either the captain has failed todo his duty, or the coach has not taken hold of theteam as he might have, for it is a known fact thatthere has been plenty of good material here if someone had only taken a little more trouble to work it up.That this is so, was forcibly brought out when withinthe last week the men improved fully fifty per cent.under the direct captaincy and coaching of Stagg,who, as it appears, was driven by the sad state ofaffairs to assume almost full control over the eleven,managing the men in a way that proved conclusivelythat had his method been employed earlier in theseaason, it would have made the University of Chi­cago invincible throughout the West. It is a factthat �ven the men themselves, complained that they'Yere not worked half hard enough, and we believe itis so. Now-we do not wish to complain any longer.The season is finished, and the' Varsity foot-ball teamof '93 has become a thing of history. We do, however,wish on the other hand to give voice to this timelywarning and say that unless a good captain is chosenfor next year's eleven, a man who not only under­stands the game himself but also knows how to workthe team properly and make the men practice as theyought, unless, we repeat, a good captain is chosenwe might as well consider ourselves out of the race atonce, and continue to play tie games with Northwesternall our lives. Give us a good captain, a little morecoaching and the team of '93, and success IS arousedfor the season of '94,THE THANKSGIVING DAY GAME.The University of Michigan defeated the Universityof Chicago in the foot-ball game on Thanksgiving Dayby the score of 28 to 10. The game, with the excep­tion of the playing of Baird, Michigan's quarter-back,was clearly played throughout, reflecting great crediton the men from Ann Arbor. There is little to saythat has not already been said by the daily press, andbut for one or two comments on Chicago's play whichwe especially wish to bring to mind, we have no ex- cuses to offer. The game was won by Michiganwholly on its merits, and for once' 'brawn" triumphedover "brain."Chicago came on the field Thanksgiving morningwith two very sick men in the rush-line, "old war­horse Allen," the veteran left tackle, who got up out'of his sick-bed to play; and Henry Gale, Chicago'scrack end player, who was so far off color during theweek that he had been unable to eat a regular mealfor three days, and who on the morning of the gamewent into play without having eaten his breakfast butinsisting and determined to be in.at the death. (This,good friends from Michigan, is what some people callChicago "nerve." And this, Mr. Wyant, is whatmakes the team of '93 superior to the eleven of '92.)And in addition to these two sick men on the field,Lozier, who was to play opposite Hooper, Michigan'sstar guard, was so sick that his place had to be takenby Rulkoetter, a steady, but far less valuable man.And now considering all these handicaps, is it to bewondered that the 'Varisty team was defeated?In the first half of the game U. of M. as was gen­erally expected, managed things all their own way.In the second half, however, it was different, andChicago thanks to Stagg's two- minute talk betweenthe halves, took a decided brace and played muchmore aggressively, rushing the Michigan line backagain and again and going through their center atwill. Neel, the champion tennis player of the Westand Chicago' � famous full' back, especially distin­guished himself in this half, plunging through theseemingly impregnable wall before him, scoring twotouchdowns and playin g the game of his life.Nichols, Sikes, Knapp and even Gale, the sick man,also played their positions beautifully and interferedand tackled in a manner unsurpassed. Raycroft'smanagement of the men in the mass interference wasexcellent, and seldom if ever did this play fail to gainthe necessary ground.The main fault to find-if any fault can be foundwith a team whose attempts to do battle againstsuch odds as were Chicago's Thanksgiving day, wasthe admiration of the spectators-was Chicago's lackof team work and general dearth of aogressiveness.Nevertheless we have nothing to complain of, but onthe contrary are as proud, if not as jubilant over theresult, as if we ourselves were the victors and Michi­gan, the vanquished.[The above was written some days before the election ofAllen as captain of the '94 team.]The foot-ball team met last Monday night to electa captain for the ensuing year in response to a callby Mr. Stagg. After partaking of light refreshmentsthe boys proceeded to business. C. W. Allen, whoplayed. right guard and left tackle the past year andUNINERITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.won universal applause for his strong defensive work,and ability to "make holes" and "gain yards," waselected captain for next year on the first ballot.Mr. Allen said that he was very reluctant to acceptan office, which he believed should be held by anundergraduate. He thought that a graduate studentwould have less time and less spirit to put into the workthan an undergraduate, and he thought he shouldset a precedent by declining the honor. However,the boys thought a good team next year was of moreimportance than a preceden t at this early stage ofthe University's history and would hear of no with­drawal. Mr. Stagg then asked Allen to tell how hethought things ought to be managed next year. Allensaid that one of the first things to be done would be toshow a little more generosity with the team both inregard to suits and to board. Then he thought thatthe team might put in more time and train harderto advantage. He said: · 'the team could well affordto be generous with itself, and that better accou­trements were necessary for the best results of thework. The expense of the training-table should notfall upon the men. Several good players have beenkept from training because they could not afford it.Not one of the team of this year has trained as hardas he ought and that is a general feeling of all. Tocreate enthusiasm for athletics, to draw crowds, and tobring the student body out to the games we musthave a team that wins games, and to win games wemust have better accoutrements, better training faci­lities and above all harder training."M r. Stagg gave a brief sketch of the athletic his­tory of the University. He said: "When I camehere nothing was organized, and Dr. Harper requestedme to take full control of the matter. This I did,. electing myself captain, arranging for games anddoing everything else that seemed necessary to be 11done. This was, of course, the only thing to bedone at the time. At the end of the season I wishedto place the matter in your hands. Accordinglyan election was held, and Wyant was elected captain.It has been the wish of Dr. Harper and the facultythat though the general management of athleticsshould be placed in the hands of the students, Ishould exercise veto power. During the past sea­son, considering the experience which I have hadin such matters, I have exercised some authorityin the make-up of the team which usually comesunder the control of the captain."Captain Wyant said: "At times this season Ihave been placed in rather an embarrassing situa­tion because I have not known the extent of theauthority of my position, whic� I have never fullyunderstood. And when I saw the usual duties ofcaptain performed by another, it seemed to me thatI was simply a figure-head. '"Mr. Stagg said: "I made a mistake in not talk­ing the matter over with Mr. Wyant last year andand corning to a definite conclusion."After a little more discussion as to the duties of thecaptain the question of a union of the athletic inter­ests of the University was brought up. After somediscussion M r. Stagg said he would look up thematter of ·an athletic association, and the matterwould be brought before the student body earlynext quarter.Last year the foot-ball team made about $100above expenses. This year the team has madebetween $400 and $500 over expenses. Most ofthis amount has been applied to the debt incurredby the base-ball team and the improvement of thegrounds, and the rest will follow. A very smallamount has been spent on the team this year asthe suits of the boys show.Musical Notes.The makeup of the Glee Club has been slightlychanged during the past week. New men are beingtried for first .bass and second tenor. The choiceswin be announced later on. The club is doing finelyand it is probable that a trip will be ta ken ; ifnot dur­ing the Christmas holidays, it will occur during theEaster recess. College songs are needed, and stu­dents who are interested in the club should exercisetheir talent and their muse and supply" this lorig feltwant."The Mandolin Club will in the future meet Wed­nesday evening at 7 o'clock.Preparations are being made for a grand concertto be given some time in January by the combinedmusical organizations of the University.University Union.The autumn meeting of University Union will beheld in Kent Auditorium Friday, Dec. 8th, at 8 p. m. Papers will be read by A. W. Wishart, of the ChurchHistory Club; Sarah M. Hardy, of the Political Econ­omy Club; W. R. Wood, of the Chemistry Club. Atthe close of the literary program the University Unionwill give a reception to Miss Hardy and Messrs.Whish art and Wood, in Cobb Hall. All friends of theUniversity and the Union are cordially invited to at­tend. The council of the University Union have decidedthat the purpose of the organization will be subser\redbetter by having free admission to its meetings insteadof by tickets as last year. But since expenses were tobe met, the fifteen different clubs composing theUnion were asked to pay five dollars each into thetreasury of the Union. The clubs have been respond­ing very graciously. Admission will now be free toboth the literary and the social features of the autumnmeeting. It will be very desirable to have a largeattendance.For rent, a furnished flat at "5427 Cottage Groveavenue. Inquire for Mrs Huntington.
