II, NO. 11.BROWNING)S OPTIMISM.BY FRED R. BARNES.ROBERT BROWNING is a great personality.His life is a strange mingling of shadow andsunshine, and of loneliness and comfort, of sorrow andgladness. All his poems breathe aspiration andencouragement. Through them all runs an unfalter­ing sense of hopefulness, of trust of the great here­after; and yet, in spite of his poems, Browning meetsan unsympathetic world.Do you ask why he is so' misunderstood? It isbecause men focus their criticism upon such poets asWordsworth and Keats and see images of beauty;then they turn the microscope with unchanged focusupon Browning, and its beauty is blurred. His worksare misjudged because compared with literary stand­ards of a different species. He is misunderstoodbecause unlike most poets he came with a message,and the world could not receive it. His utterancesare a prophecy. His prophecy is optimism. Seethe manner in which he received his message.While yet a boy everything went well with RobertBrowning. He had all that his soul needed, a fatherto read him the Iliad, a mother to give him poetry,and no over abundance of work to distract him. Heloved music, and what child can love music who hasnot a heart of hope? His inhorn tenderness andhope made him always see the bright side of things.He loved to lie on the hill sides when sunset floodedover London, and covered with gold the spires ofWestminster. There on the hill sides, underneaththe eirn trees, he dreamed he could hear them whisperto each other, telling of the distant smoke that rosefrom the city into douds; while the puff and roar andclanging bells told him of life and struggle.Browning's character was set looking fortoard.He never thought about the good old times; to himyesterday was shrouded in the gloom of night, to­morrow was fresh in the brightness of morning.This was his boyhood optimism. He felt that thefuture had something better in store. And yet hiswas not merely the optimism of a sunny nature. Foron coming to manhood he was able to satisfy hisintelligence that this bright prospect of life was real.Observe this development of his message.Through eyes of thought .Robert Browning lookedout on nature. She showed him the Creator all­powerful and all-intelligent; but from nature alone hecould not learn whether God loves us or hates us. What man could tell? Jesus came to the world andrevealed to us God as all-loving. This was the cent­ral principle of Browning's Christianity. This attri­bute of love gave to his great hope a pecular meaning.Love became to him the chief end of life. He wouldsay: "Not to love is to have lived in vain;" andagain, "True love is a -Ioretaste of the perfect lifehereafter. "In the next place the young man found tworeasons why man's soul was immortal. The tirst wasthat men feel things on' earth to be imperfect, and,therefore somewhere there must be perfection. For,he considered, there are reasons to believe the planof the world complete. Who could have created allthings but an all-powerful Creator? Is it not becausewe are living in a stage of growth? And shall we notsometime, somewhere, reach perfection? To Brown­ing it seemed the only reasonable expectation. Ob­serve his words in = Abt Voglar" The musiciansays:"Shall I doubt that Thy power can fill the heart that Thylove expands?And finding no reason at all to doubt, he breaksout:There never shall be one lost good! What was shall live asbefore:What was gocd shall be good, with, for evil, so much goodmore;On earth the broken arcs; in the heaven a perfect round. "Browning'S second reason is akin to the first andis that our aspirations are from God, and since menyearn for immortality,inmortality " shall exist." Forwhat do men want that can not be? Do we needanything that is not? No. And should we knowenough to want anything if that thing could not exist?Should we "doubt that Thy power could fill the heartthat T�y love expands?" No. For God, is "greatto grant is mighty to make, and creates the love toreward the love." Yearning for immortality, there isimortali ty.But this alone does not express the poet's mes­sage. vve must take into account one more concept­IOn. It is the one dominant in all his works, andthat gives them the charm which makes men loveHim. This was his philosophy! "V\'e see good andevil in the world. In the midst of it men are strug­gling. They may be divided into two classes. Someare earnest and try to rise above the evil, They set2 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO �VVEEKL'�-,up a model of goodness toward which they strive.They attain their ideal, and then they are dissatisfied.Thus they have gained success; but at the same timefailure is present, because they are not satisfied. Onthe other hand some men set up evil models, and,working towards evil ends, are wasting their lives.Earth for both classes is a place of probation. The high­est ideal for man to attain is perfect love. If menfail to attain perfect love, one of two alternativesmust be true; either there is a chance for men in thehereafter, or the Creator's work bas been wrought invam. Browning could not believe the latter; theformer must be true.From all this we are able to trace four steps inthe process that made Browning an optimist. Thesecontain his message. First; the fact of spiritualprogress as the law of all life and of all life to come.Second; the soul's progression proven by the verypresence in life of failure. \Ve fall to rise. Imper­fection goads the soul to strife and action. Third;struggle is the law of life. Things are working to­gether for good; but we must wait for the true issue.We are on the way to that good as we have energyand purpos.e. "Then welcome each rebuff that. turnsearth's smoothness rough, each sting that bids norsit nor stand but go." Fourth; from the point of'view of immortality, the earth life is but a probation," stuff totry the soul's strength on, educe the man."It is thus seen that Browning's optimism is not dueto evasion of life's problems, or to any illusion, or toa dream of im possible changes in the nature of life,but to a strong, frank acceptance of the world and itsorder, and the good and evil conditions of life as away to final good.N ow in a few words shall we notice his deliveryof this message in his poems?Observe from" The Flight of the Duchess:"­"So, trial after trial past,Wilt thou fall at th� very lastBreathless, half in tranceWith the thrill of the great deliverance,In to our arms for evermore;And thou shalt know, those arms once curledAbout thee, what we knew before,How love is the only good in the world."From" In a Balcony:"" I count life just a stuffTo try the soul's strength on, educe the man." And from" Cleon:"" In man there's a failure only since he leftThe lower and unconscious forms of life ,We called it an advance, the rendering plainMan's spirit might grow conscious of man's life,And by new lore so added to the old,Take each step higher over the brute's head."From" A Death in the Desert:""Man knows partly, but conceives besideCreeps ever on from fancies to the facts,And, in this striving, this converting airInto a solid he may grasp and use,Finds progress, man's distinctive mark alone;N ott God's and not the beast's: God is, they are,Man partly is and wholly hopes to be,"From" Rabbi Ben Ezra."" He fixed thee in this danceOf plastic circumstanceThis present, thou, forsooth, wouldst fain arrest:Machinery just meantTo give thy soul its bent,Try thee, and turn thee forth sufficiently impressed."And lastly from" Abt Vogler ."" All we have willed, or hoped, or dreamed of good shall existWhen eternity affirms the conception of an hour.The high that proved too high, the heroic for earth too hard,The passion that left the ground to loose itself in the sky.Are music; sent up to God by the lover and the bard;Enough that he heard it once, we shall hear It by and bye."Age could not vanquish, death could not awe, thisserene, this loving man. His motto and his messagewas: Hupe hard in the subtle thing tlzat's Spirit.This his poems sang from the first line to the last.Why? Was it not because he studied the heart? Hecared not for the outside, for clay. He sought thesprings of action, the secrets of thought; and thoughtcannot die. I n youth feeling it, in m a nh o od know­ing it, his pen has told us the sweet story of hope.He wrote not for classes, not for nations, but for allpeople. England reared him; we may claim him.His hopes are our hopes.

And this is what the Baboo wrote tothe editor of the Lahore newspaper: Sir: -I write these few lines, please enter into your valuable news­paper-o thou the lovely United States should I ask you a questionthat why is it so that you are making struggle to take the yoke offand free yourself from the true, all pervading incorporeal, andspiritual God. Your tendency is turning toward your becoming aslave to a pretender who strongly claims for being the God, youare binding yourself in iron chains of the subjection which willresult into the destruction and ruin. That pretender is not anyone else but the Mighty Dollar. It is the one who makes its fol­lowers quite blind and deaf.It is true that almost all the countries of the world whichonce attained to greatness were doomed to the natural law ofdownfall.. I certainly admit that you attained to greatness inmaterialism but not in spiritualism, so according to the naturallaw you would have suffered the fate in the materialism. It sur­prizes me when I find the case altogether different. The old ageis apparent in your boyhood rather say the young age. Forget­ting God you are inclined to kneel to matter and metal in vain.You wish for bliss eternal. How,By ways, and deeds impure.Misguided one your hope at lastWill prove a phantom sure.Dear friend reply me sharp, will you please?The people of the United States whether men or womenhaving one voice ask the foreigners a few questions of the samenature. I do not understand that how it came t,hat almost all thepersons have the same question to inquire in to. I shall writethose questions in the next issue. When they find auy foreignerspeaking English they at once utter these words that how andwhere did he learn their American language which is in really tobe called the English language. While they are free from theEnglish Government why do they accept their language as theirown. They must have a new language as their own as they did inGovernmental affairs. In my opinion the American languagemust be the mixture of the languages of Europe wherefrom thepeople immigrated to this land.They must not desire for that which belongs to another.The people though they are wise and learned are still in want­ing to make distinction between brass and copper, marble andchina, silver and ivory, etc. They cannct mark any differencebetween the art and value, as they know much more about themachine work. They do not like to work with hands.JINDA RAM, Clerk,East India Pavilion, World:s Fair ground.Students will find it to their interest to do theirdowntown trading at the store of Carson, Pirie, Scott& Co.

Figaro thou hast drawn blood."Of the sheet it may be said, that generally its bits of to theirsalaries and invest their brain products against some otherfellow's capital of cash.That is, unless they have been entirely misled by the repre­sentations of fools or unscrupulous schemers.2.50 Seriously, a magazine, such as has been outlined, has no possi­bility of succeeding financially. Men who have deve ted theirlives to the publishing business have proved, beyond question, thatthe time is yet far distant when a monthly magazine, with a westernimprint, can find a place at the top. Aside from the fact that thiss. would stand in the way of success, there are other obstacles to becombateed.There is being waged to-day in magazinedom a fierce battle,for su prern icy, in some cases; existence in others. Mr. Walker,of the Cosmopolitan, sounded the war-cry when he cut in two theprice of his publication. The result has been far reaching. Eventhe staid and dignified Forum has entered the lists.. IThe hard fight for existence which Figaro has beenobliged to make, leads it to take a gloomy view ofslander are innocent enough, and serve to amuse a the situation. And it is natural that it should opposegossipy public. For instance:The University of Chicago is, I observe, about to issue fromthe adolescent aspirations of its WEEKLY to the more dignifieddullness that I expect from the about-to-be revived LakesideMagazine. When literature comes from professors and bluestock­ings she is but a wailing weakling.Perhaps it may be permitted to the "ado-lescent" to suggest that daily newspapers arenot always infallible, and that, though it maybe safe, after the fashion of Figaro, to clip liter­ary notices from them, verification of their facts. isoccasionally advisable. Several students resident atthe University of Chicago, not long ago determinedto establish a monthly magazine. Their plans werehumble, they desired only to follow the example ofother universities, that print once-a-month magazinesof a literary character. The comment of Figaro uponthis laudable undertaking is as follows:Bankruptcy is staring John D. Rockefeller in the face. Thewiseacres who are dispensing his millions at the Chicago Univer­sity are an ambitious lot. Apparently they find time hanging heav­ily oil. their hands when only the petty annoyances incidental 'tocond ucting a great university confront them. From reliablesources the news has gone forth that the professors are going .tostart a monthly ma�azine, to compete with and ultimately eclipsethe great giants, H�q::er's and the Century. - the starting of any new publication in a city whereits own value is so little appreciated. Still wit liesnot entirely in highly colored adjectives and impert­inent expletives. And though much may be pardonedto a sheet which is misled by its "reliable sources,"that sheet should in its criticism of alleged facts hesi­tate before it seriously misleads its readers. Educa­tion IS undoubtedly not III its line. With theendeavor to bring learning home to people in theform of University-Extension it has no sympathy.But why it manifests such hostility to higher educationgenerally, is a fact hard to understand. There is nodanger that" learned men" will ever invade its pecul­iar territory. Science confines itself to the investi­gation of facts.The WEEKLY does not wish to blame too severelythe newspaper correspondents who supplied the"sources." The great journals of Chicago havealways been friendly to the University of the West,andif they have erred in any direction, it has been in over­enthusiasm. Sometimes, however, friends are moredangerous than enemies. Such appears to havebeen the case in the present instance,UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY. ·5HEREAFTER the exchanges received by the.

We accepted the massive columns in all theirspeciousness, and never troubled to think of the hol­low space within, until an accidental kick revealed athickness of about three fourths of an inch, only,between faith and disenchantment. Cleopatra'sneedle might have been a monolith, had not a timecome when parallel shadows on the plaster surfacereminded us to keep on the same side as the sun, lesta translucent glimmer cause a rude awakening. Butthe latest surprise is that time-blackened bronze' idolbefore the Egyptain temple. I have actually beenwondering how soon that Heathen god would be re­shipped to his accustomed deserts; and, 'again bask­ing in a tropic sun, dream with retrospective com­placence of American November. He will never goto Egypt. He never saw a desert nor a tropic sun.He is a native Chicagoan; and as the painted surfaceslow ly peals from his glistening arms, he silentlyanswers the same old, old query "can a leopardchange his spots, or an Ethiopean his skin?"I am anxiously watching the little donkeys thattrot about Cairo streets, to see how soon approachingwinter will reveal that their sides are made of lathsand their tails of gas-pi pes, like the horses in theFair. Lying is, indeed, become a fine art in these d aysjbut only those whose eyes behold its demolition canrealize how completely was the Dream City Chicago­nieusis "for man's delusion given." ,A B, F.AFTER THE GAME.A little maiden climbed a young man's kneeBegged for a story, do brother, please,Why are you smiling, why look so gay?Have you a joke now, come, tell me, pray?I had a sweetheart, weeks, weeks ago,Where she is now, pet, don't care to know,List' to the story, I'll tell it plain,I left her faithless; after the game.CHORUS.After the foot-ball's over, after the game is won,After the teams are leaving, after the umpire's gone,Many a bone is broken, many a shirt is torn,Many a head is swollen, each in his turn.Bright eyes were flashing, as on us they gazed,Loudly the crowd yelled, howling our praise.Then came my sweetheart, my love, my own,With another fellow, I stood alone.When I looked again, dear, there the fellow stood,Smiling upon her as only lover could.Down went my spirits, crushed, pet, that's plain,Just as my head was, after the game.Weeks now have passed, pet, I soon shall wedAnother girl, pet, so it is said.She tried to tell me, tried to explain,I would not listen, pleadings were vain.One day a letter came from that man,He's sick of his bargain, so the letter ran.That's why I'm happy, 'tis very plain.Who would have thought it, after the game?N. E. T. (A KELLYITE).University Union.The quarterly meeting of the University Unionheld last Friday evening was as great a success asthe warmest friends of the Union had predicted itwould be. The exercises in the auditorium of KentHall were attended by a large audience of membersand friends of the University, and the reception inCobb Hall to the various clu bs of the union broughtout even more. The exercises in Kent were openedby an address from W. B. Owen, the president of theunion, who outlined the work of the various clubsand announced the new features in the work of theassociation. A. W. Wishart: representing the ChurchHistory Club, presented a paper entitled "TheEffects of Monasticism." In clear and beautiful lan­guage Mr. Wishart traced monasticism from itsbeginning to the present day.The Political Economy Club was well representedby Miss Sarah M. Hardy, who read an interestingpaper on "Money and Prices since l865." Miss Hardy sought to prove that the "quantity" theoryfailed to provide for money .and prices. The violinsolo by Miss Caroline Bennett was a pleasing num­ber of the programme. R. W. Wood held the inter­est and attention of all by several clever experimentsillustrated by stereopticon views. Mr. Wood's sub-ject was' 'Matter and its States."The reception from 10 to 12 p. m. was a mostenjoyable and pleasant affair. Once more facultyand students were reunited in social life by the firstgeneral gathering of the year. Fully five hundredpeople were present, and the beautifully decoratedchapel presented a gay appearance. Refreshmentswere served in the faculty room; The vocal solo byMiss Mae Acton provided for the Kent Hall exerciseswas listened to during the reception hours..The WEEKLY could wish that more of these gen­eral receptions were held. The union is at presentthe only organization,' if we except the Y. M. andY. W. C. A. and the women's halls, which providesfor an... y sort of social life at the University. Theyshould have the assistance of every organization herein their endeavor to promote a better social life.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY. 7WITH T'HE ATHLETIC EDITOR.Last Saturday's athletic entertainment was theinauguration of a series of events which will oc.cupyin the hearts of lovers of sport the place of the erst­while weekly foot- ball game. The game of basket­ball seems to furnish to the foot-ball men, an ,agr�e­able substitute during the cold months. The elementof roughness which characterizes foot-ball is elim­inated in this more humane sport and the livelyinterest for spectators is quite as great. At the nextathletic entertainment our track team's cracks willshow the result of fast training. We anticipate greatthiLl:gs iLl: running and jumping from such men asH ol loway, Lamay, Lanning, and Steigmeyer. Onenoticeable feature about our athletics is the entire.absence of boxing, wrestling and 'fencing matches,These three sports are among the greatest and mostpopular of in-door athletics. Many object to the for­mer on grounds of brutality. Nothing is more absurd;if there is an element of brutality in these sports it issupplied by the athletes. No sport need be 'brutal iftho participants choose not to makeit so. It is truethat, outside 'of colleges, the tougher element hasmonopolized these branches; but this is no reasonwhy college men should not try to elevate and makegentlemen'S sports of them. Boxing is the best all­round exercise one can find, and its violence is shownby the length of time required to train for matches.There is no reason why our entertainments hereaftershould not include a boxing and fencing bout and two,or three wrestling matches. They are all sport induration and the interest in them amongst on-lookersvery great. In a great democratic institution such asthe U. of c., the s piri t of democracy should not beconfined to any single department and manifestedthroughout all. As yet no boxing gloves have beenprovided for the gymnasium. The-writer suggests thatthis oversight be remedied. Our in door athletics willbe subject to ridicule from every institution of anystanding if there does not appear amongst the running,jumping and basket- ball matches, three of the great­est and most representative sports of all nations­boxing, wrestling and fencing.Yale and Princeton's foot-ball teams will remainunder the same leaders next year. Trenchard hasbeen re-elected capt ain of Princeton and the selectionmeets with' hearty approval from everybody. ThePrinceton players of this year stand higher in theirclasses than any team that ever represented the col­lege. Frank_ H'in key will be the Yale foot ball cap­tain for another season. He has not, been retiredyet, a's the election will not be made for several days.But he has expressed himself as willing to accept theposition again, and there is no doubt that it will beunanimously offered him. Hinkey would not haveconsidered a re-election had his team won' the cham- pionship, and Frank Butterworth, the brilliant fullback, would have been chosen; but Capt Hin k ey isanxious to try conclusions with the- enemy and wipeout the stain of defeat. H� has made one of theablest saptains that ever played foot-ball for Yale.In the game of basket-ball played Saturday after­noon between the Track Athletic team and the 9:45Gymnasium class, the former won by a score of 8' to 7.Oliver, Knipe and Newton are candidates for cap-tain of the Pennsylvania foot-ball team. "FOOT BALL.Saturday evening next at Tattersalls;. I6th and.State streets, there will be played a deciding game offoot-ball, between the the teams of Northwestern andChicago tJ niversities. The team are on an even foot- _ing, the result of last year's contests giving N orthwest­ern the palm while the '93 season put Chicagoahead. The probable -line up of the teams will be:NORTHWESTERN.

STAGG NARROWLY ESCAPES A LINGERINGDEATH BY SUFFOCATION.A trag·edy was narrowly averted 011 Monday noonby the prompt action of one of the officials of theUniversity.While arranging the gowns in one. of the ward­robes at the south end o'f the 'main corr idor in CobbHall, Mr. Stagg was accidently shut into the .narro wcramped closet. The. key to the door was in" hispocket and there was no other key available. Thesuperintendent was hastily summoned and by vigor�)Useffort succeeded in forcing the door and liberating theimprisoned athlete. He fell from the closet in i afainting condition, but was resuscitated by vigorousmeasures on the part of the frightened spectators andno serious results are anticipated. At the time dfgoing to press Mr. Stagg was again able to partiallyattend to his professional du ties, although still show­ing traces of the shock he experienced at finding him­self seemingly hopelessly imprisoned and consignedto a lingering death.Mr. Stagg and the University are to be congratu­lated on the happy outcome of what promised to be agenuine tragedy in our midst.8 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY,ALUMNI CHICAGOENSESTHE officers of the Collegiate Alumni Associationare considering the advisability of an annualmeeting and banquet of the association in addition tothe University dinner of Feb. 22d and the reunion ofthe Associated Alumni at the end of the spring quar­ter in June. The secretary would like the opinion ofthe Alumni of the Collegiate Department in orderthat the officers may consider the matter intelligentlyand in deciding, act in accordance with the wishes ofthe greater number.Perhaps a word by way of explanation is neces­sary. The University has established the practice ofcelebrating Feb. 22d as a holiday, making it U niver­sity Day, the University Dinner in the evening tak­ing the place of the Washington Supper of formeryears. At this dinner all departmen ts of the U niver­sity are represented.. The last day of the collegeyear in June has been designated as Alumni Day, theexercises, of which are varied but closing with a ban­quet of the Associated Alumni at which the Alumniorganizations of the various departments, includingthe Collegiate, 'Divinity, Graduate, etc., are repre­sented. Th� question to consider is whether iu addi­tion to these meetings we shall have, sometime in thecourse of the year, a distinctively Collegiate AlumniReunion and Banquet, and. if so, where and when?Let.the secretary 'have your opinion.The class. of '85, though the smallest in point ofnumbers since �66, is not the least, either in ability orinfluence, that has gone forth from the University ofChicago. Of the eight members who graduated in the class, three are connected with the University.and the others are widely scattered.Elbridge R. Andersen is a lawyer_ with offices IIIthe Globe Building Boston Mass. He resides IIISalem.Nathan E. Chapman is professor of Latin andGreek in the Nebraska Baptist Seminary at GrandIsland, Neb.Elizabeth Faulkner is teacher of English in theKenwood Institute, an affiiliated preparatory schoolof the University.Theodore M. Hammond is the University steward.David J. Lingle, Ph. D. (Johns Hopkins I892) isassistant in Biology in the University.Samuel A. Perrine resigned a successful pastorateat Marshalltown, Iowa, and has been for the pastyear a missionary in the foreign field at Ga·uhati.Assam.Allen B. Seaman is a successful lawyer in Den­ver, Col., and Daisy M. Springer is a teacher in thepublic schools of Chicago.Rev. Joseph P. Phillips, '68, whose addresswas asked for a short time ago through thesecolumns, IS pastor o_f the Baptist Church atMount Carroll, Illinois. We learn this from hisson, . Thomas L. Phillips,. of the class of '97Un iversi ty of Illinois, in response to our inquiryin the WEEKLY, a fact that goes to show that theWEEKLY may be �nade valuabie to the Alumni as ameans of enabiing them to keep in touch with theirfellow Alumni.COMMUNICATIONSTo the Editor;--In a recent number of the WEEKLY youinvited the students to send in their views on the desirability offoot ball as a college sport. Such an opinion from one whoseignorance of the game is so dense that he scarcely could tell at, punt" from a "touchdown" is per se, inappropriate, but thereare some statistics of the game whose s igriificance can scarcely bemistaken. A student in the University has noted from the publicprints, six fatal accidents in the United States during the presentseason, while in Great Britain, where the game is older, the recordis far worse. Chance has brought into the writer's possesion a listof the fatal accidents in Br itish foot-ball in the past three years.T'h e season of 18;l0·91 numbered 23 de aths, t h at of 189I 92 n um­be red 22, and that of 1892-93 no less than 26. The nature c-f theinjuries was somewhat various, and by no means do they all pointto .. slug games." Of course the above list makes no account ofthe merely maimed or wounde d , Granting that the imterest andintoxication of the game are. all that its most ardent followers couldwish, should we not still inquire whether' human ingenuity isincapable of contriving some other sport, equally intense andabsorbing, which shall not demand an accident policy for its(financially) safe enjoyment?E. G. DODGE.ilIr. Edit o r : - Your reference to the mock congress and thequestio n about the Athenaeum Society, seem very appor tune.Let the good work go on, We need Hot merely one Literary Society, but several. In rivalry, is enthusiasm and prosperityThe literary spirit is not so strong as it should be in this T'niver­sity. Witness the fad that the greater part of one quarter hasgone by without one literary society meeting. We can nevertake the position in inter-collegiate oratory which belongs to theUniversity of Chicago until there is a strong enthusiasm among.the students. Literary societies are, it seems to me, a vital ele­ment in college life. In them centre its social side. Who of usdoes not cherish fond memories of those weekly coed meetings, of.. spreads" and picnics and socials and oratorical contests? Theymay be the means of bequeathing college friendships and collegememories, thai in after years will be among our fondest treasures.Such associations are what, throughout all literature, have hallowedcollege life with such a charm. We want contest and rivalry andvigorous" college politics." The literary societies cannot do all,but whatever brings the students closer together and unifies themis directly instrumental in developing college spirit. And a col­lege without coliege spirit, is one that is weak in athletics, in col­lege journalism, in collegiate oratory,-is one that lacks one of theprime elements of a college.F. w. w.T(J tile f.c_·dit@r:-Many things have been said against the commens, but not a thing in its favor. Surely, it mustn't be that thosewho have found so much fault in the past 'do not know just howthe commons is managed. It is owned by the students, run bytJNlvnRSlTY O}"' CB1CAGO WEEKLY.and in the interest of the students. It may be well for theenlightenment of new students, to state briefly how the studentscame by the commons, and in what way it is now managed. TheUniversity had entire control of the boarding department, thefirst quarter of last year, but the students found so much fault thatthe faculty requested them to take the whole establishment andrun it to suit their own sweet will. Since Jan.lst, 1893 the studentshave been responsible for everything that has been done in thecommons. The interests of the students are looked after by aboard of directors, composed of a president, vice-president andfour directors, one from each of the four schools. Each memberof the board is elected by ballot from the regular members of thedining association. No member of the board receives any pay,except the abuse that the boarders heap upon his head. The regularmembers of the dining association have to pay just what the boardactually costs; the limit to which the steward is permitted to runthe price of board is $3,50 per week. A member having regularabsences is allowed a rebate of 10 cents for every meal that he isabsent. Two other arrangements have been made for the students 9who do not wish for regular meals; single meal tickets are sold for25 cents each; and a ticket good for twenty-one meals is sold for�4. If a boarder wishes to see a change in anything, he mayaccomplish it one of three ways. He may write his complaint,sign his name to it, and put it into a box kept for that purpose; orhe may make a verbal complaint to the director who represents hisschool. If he cannot find relief in either of these ways, he maycall a public meeting by having several of the regular boarderssign such a call. If there is anything that does not please you,do not complain to members of the faculty, or some one else who.has nothing in the world to do with the management of the board­ing house. But make the life of your director a burden to himuntil he reforms the abuse. The board of directors has the entiremanagement of affairs. It meets every Monday. evening to hearthe auditor's report of the expenses for the previous week, and tosuggest changes that are to be made. If this board of directorsdoes not manage things as you like, ask them to resign, and electthose who will look more closely after the needs of your stomachs.If you must kiclz, be sure to kick where it will do some good.

In avery great degree the book is a life of St. Paul, the author takingthe ground that practically the apostolic age comes to an end withPaul's martyrdom, as no certain information exists of the laborsof the other apostles.
