II, NO. 14.PRESIDENT ADDRESS.THE following is the address of President Harperon the condition of the University, delivered atthe Winter Convocation 111 Central Music Hall lastweek:Members of the University, trustees, instructors, students andfriends: It would not be strange if the quarterl y statement shouldcome to be a matter of routine, and of little interest. And yet,upon consideration, it 'Would be strange if, in an institution in whicha score or more of new educational experiments were being tried,in an institution surrounded on every side by activities of variouskinds, it would be strange, I say, if in such an institution, passingthrough its first stages of growth, there should not be with eachrecurring quarter, something worthy of note; some word perhapsof warning; some statement of effort accomplished, or at least, anindication of needs to be supplied. The work of the pre; ent soonbecomes a matter of history and reflections upon the immediate.past made from a point of view in close touch with that past, maynot be altogether valueless. The Quarter just finished has beena very quiet one. The confusion incident to the closing of theColumbian Exposition was soon forgotten, and the academicspirit has throughout ruled supreme. Questions of policy had forthe most part been settled during our first year's work. All hadbecome accustomed to the established routine, and the time ofinstructors has been given without interruption of any kind to thegreat work for which the University was founded. The Univer­sity life, somewhat disturbed last year by the whirl and confusionof the Exposition, has settled down into the real life of a Un iver­si ty . A measure of satisfaction has arisen also in the fact thatthe members of the University are more comfortably settled intheir homes this year than last, The district inside of which ourmembers have taken residence bas been narrowed. \Ve are closertc gether, at least locally, than we were before. It would be un­natural indeed if we should not now be drawn closer together inspirit and purpose.THE ATTENDANCE.The total attendance of the Autumn Quarter was 773 distri­buted as follows: In the Graduate School 243, in the Colleges363, in the Divinity School 167, The attendance during theSpring Quarter was 552. The gains is, therefore, a gain of 40 percent. It is- to be noted, however, that during the Spr ing Quarterthere were s.pecial reasons for the reduced number The atten­dance of the Autumn Quarter of 1892 was 625, The gain, there­fore, over the corresponding Quarter of last yea r is about 25 percent. Since, the registration of last quarter which closed on con­vocation day, October zd, about 140 students have been regis­tered in various colleges and schools. It is believed that the totalenrollment for the year will easily reach a thousand. In this cal­culation the students of the Morgan Park Academy and the stu­dents of the affiliated institutions are not includedTHE SYSTEM OF HOUSES.It is too soon, perhaps, to reach a definite conclusion-in refer­ence to the University Houses organized at the beginning of theQua;ter, and yet, it seems to be the feeling of all concerned that'with the modifications suggested by experience, the system willprove successful. It is at all events, clear that a college spirit has been engendered which did not before exist, and withoutwhich the work of any institution will be largely a failure'. Thespirit of enthusiasm is one which must be cultivated, and themeans necessary, though they may not seem to contribute directlyto the advancement of learning, must be adopted.Another step has been taken by the University Council, inarranging for regular meetings to be held by the students andofficers of the various divisions of the University. The Wednesdaychapel service will each week be given up, and in its place therewill be held on the first Wednesday of each month a meeting of thegraduate students and the Graduate Administrative Boards; onthe second Wednesday, a meeting of the divinity students and theDivinity -Facu lty ; on the third Wednesday, a meeting of the Uni­versity College students and the Administrative Board of the Uni­versity Colleges; on the fourth Wednesday, a meeting of theAcademic College students and the Administrative Board of theAcademic Colleges. At these meetings addresses will be givenby members of the Faculty, upon matters of particular interest tothe college or school. This will at the same time draw the stu­dents of a particular school or college more closely together,bring them into touch with the governing board, and provide anopportunity which does not now exist. for the presentation of in­formation of a special character.The University congratulates itself and the scientific world,that at last the great laboratory for which Mr. Kent has so muni­ficently provided, is finished and occupied by the Department ofChemistry. This event has been celebrated by the Universitynow during two days. Its celebration is the feature of this, ourWinter Convocation. It is an event in the history of the Univer­sity, and of the science of Chemistry, the meaning of which willnot be, fully appreciated during the lives of those of us who havecome together from far and near to celebrate it. The gift whichMr. Kent has bestowed upcn the University is the gift of a prince,and it has been given in a princely way, 'When 'it was seen thatthe sum at first designated would not secure everything that wasdesired, that sum, at the time of the giving of the contracts wasincreased 20 per cent. As the building progressed and otherneeds presented themselves, another 20 pet cent. was added.When the building was finished and furnished, the �generosity ofMr. Kent led him still to add a gift for apparatus and equipmentequivalent to 10 per cent. of the original gift, and so the buildinghas cost instead of $150,000, $235,000. '. The building was pre­sented to the University and accepted by the 'University last eve­ning, Addresses celebrating the event were made. ,We haveto-night listened to the formal address of dedication. The build­ing has now passed into the h-inds of the department for which itwas erected. If that department will prove as faithful in its workas Mr. Kent has been generous in giving, we may surely expectfrom time to time the announcement of most important scientificresults. No man, who remembers the anxiety of those early daysbefore the citizens of Chicago had indicated, as they have sinceindicated, their adoption of the institution as the University of thecity, will fail to remember also that it was at such a time that Mr.Kent made his gift, and in the making of it determined in largemeasure the standard of the Univ:ersity and the position which itshould occupy among the universities of the world.tory. With these new chairs established, with a wider range ofstudy offer-ed by the new curriculum, and with the special advan­tages which accrue to the Divinity School from its close connectionwith the University, it may claim to make a' presentation' of workelsewhere unsurpassed.In view of the evident success of the house system, and inorder to lift the beneficiary system of the Divinity School to ahigher plain, it is proposed to organize Divinity houses in accord­ance with the plan adopted in the University. This means thatupon the adoption of this plan Divinity students will pay iike otherstudents a regular rental for their rooms. This rental will beused as the nucelus of a scholarship and fellowship fund; this fundwill be distributed to divinity students in accordance with theplan Ly which University and College fellowships and scholar­ships are now distributed. It is believed that in this way muchwill be accomplished in the direction of improving and dignifyingthe beneficiary system which, as all will confess, has beenattended with many difficulties.In addition to the Umversity Settlement already establishedin the Stock Yards district, the Divinity School will now proceedto establish a distinctively Christian settlement in some centralportion of the city. In this settlement there will reside divinitystudents, married and unmarried; students of Social Science andothers who are interested in more distinctively Christian work thanthat which characterizes the University settlement. The workwill be under the direct charge of the professor of Social Sciencein the Divinity School and will stand related to the Divinity Schoolas the Department of Clinics to the Medical School. Arrange­ments have also been made to begin at an early date the publication of a series of divinity studies to which the instructors of theschool will from time to time contribute monographs. The great­est difficulty which the Divinity Faculty is compelled to meet isthe fact that students devote too' much of their time to outsidework, especially preaching It is unreasonable to suppose that aman who conducts service as a preacher in a parish, however small,can at the same time do full work as a student. Hencefor th suchmen will be urged to do only two-thirds of the regular work of astudent. It is far better that men who are compelled to earn theirlivelihood should devote six months to continuous study and givethe remaining SIX months of the year to the more practical workof the pastorate, thus making provision for their financial neces­sities. But I must not weary you with details. It is sufficientto say that our Divinity School proposes to be in every respectabreast of the times, open to students of-every Christian denoniin­ation, enrolling' among its members's students of many denomin­ations: its professors ready at all times to accept the truth. Theschoool adopting the methods of Him in whose name it is founded,endeavors to teach those who place themselves under its influenceth'e message of the Great Teacher. and the best methods bywhich a suffering humanity may be lifted nearer to the beneficentand loving God.2 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.THE YERKES OBSERVATORY.Since our last meeting a much debated question has beensettled for all time, the location of the Yerkes Astronomical Ob­servatory. Sixty acres of land beautifully and convenientlylocated upon the very shore of Lake Geneva have been donatedby Mr. John Johnston, Jr , to the University, and by formal actthe site has been determined. The general plan of the buildinghas been settled and the details are now being arranged. Beforewe 111 =et again the foundation will have been laid and anothergreat structure will be rising from the earth, erected in the inter­ests of pure science.THE ACADEMY.. By the terms of one of Mr. Rockefeller's gifts the Universityis required to sustain at Morgan Park, in the buildings formerlyoccupied by the Divinity School, a well-equipped academy. Thatthe academy is well organized and that it has a corps of superiorteachers is certain. It has . likewise a most enthusiastic body ofstudents. That which most surprises one in a visit to the Acad­emy is the maturity of the students. Although the course of pre­paration includes a plan of work covering five years, no student inthe Academy is younger than sixteen, and many who have reachedthe age of twenty-one have still before them several years of pre­paration. So far as age is concerned, and indeed so far as thecharacter of the work performed is concerned, the academy ispractically a college. The work of the new principal, Mr. Car­man, .has been mo st successful . The foundation for scholarlywork of a high order has been laid during the first year. Itremained at the Academy as here at the University,-to arousethat esprit de corps which to be sure, forms no part of the curricu­lum, but which nevertheless, is an essential feature of educationalwork. Improvements have been made in the buildings, andthough the equipment is not yet what the terms of Mr. Rockefel­ler's gift demand, it may be fairly said that the beginnings havebeen made of what will shortly become an Andover or an Exeter.The organic connection of this school as a part of the Universitywill add greatly in maintaining with rigidity the standard laiddown for entrance to the colleges of the University. Studentswho, coming from a distance, unexpectedly find themselves unableto meet requirements. can without inconvenience and withoutextra expense, finish their preparation in the Academy. It shouldbe, and it will be the pol icy of the University to strengthen theAcademyat every point, and make it all which its connection withthe University warrants. The affiiated academies located in thecity have come into closer relations with the University this yearthan last. Every six weeks examinations are given by, the Uni­versity: and the papqrs presented read and marked at the Univer­sity. Meetings will be held from time to time, in which theinstructors of the affiiated schools in a particular department joinwith the University instructors in considering the questions ofspecial interest in the department. The annual registers of all, the affiiated academies will be issued in uniform style and uponthe same general plan. Each academy is represented in the Uni­versity convocations by a delegation of its students.THE DIVINITY SCHOOL.In the Divinity School. of the University several importantsteps have been agreed upon by the Faculty, and in connectionwith these preparation is being made for carrying into effect thetwo regulations adopted last year, in accordance with which thedivinity year will continue thirty-six weeks instead of thirty weeks,and the curriculum of study b e arranged for work of a characterleading to the degree of Ph. D. Already five candidates havepresented themselves and are doing work with this degree in view.During the quarter it has been arranged that the income of theDivinity School shall be at least $10,000 larger than it was lastyear. This gift is a new gift and definitely pledged. On thebasis of this added income there will at once be appointed anassociate professor in Church History, an associate professor in�oC?ial Sci�nce: and a� associate professor in New Testament Hi�, THE ACADEMIC COLLE CES.It has been feared by some that in the large. emphasis laidupon the University work, the interests of the younger students inthe earlier college years might be overlooked. Indeed, manythink that higher work and lower work may not be carried on atthe same time to advantage. The specific charge, for it hasassumed the detiniteness of a charge, and the general principle arealike wrong. During the past Quarter there have been in atten­dance about 300 students in the Adademic Colleges of Arts, Liter­ature and Science, including unclassified students These stu­dents have received instruction from 36 ii.str uctors , Of these,eight have been professors, two associate professors, seven assist­ant professors, nineteen instructors, tutors, assistants, and docents.One-half of the teachers have been professors. When it isremembered that the men who occupy the rank of assistants,tutors and instructors in the University of Chicago, would in thegreat majority of institutions in the west be full professors, thefear that the work of the Academic Colleges isbeing neglected ap-UNIVERSITY O:fi"' CHICAGO WEEKLY.pears to be without foundation. The fact remains that in noeastern institution of hi�h rank does the freshman or sophomorereceive instructions from men Of greater ability and experience,nor do the students of the lower classes, in any eastern institutionhave to so great an extent, the privilege of electing courses in par­ticular subjects intended for more advanced students. TheL�'enerl7!position, already stated, is likewise false. It is of the greatest ad­vantage to the younger student to move in an atmosphere thecharacteristics of which are d. termined by men who have reachedthe more serions age. A stimulus is furnished in this way forthorough work which' nothing else can furnish. The friends ofUn iversity may rest secure in mind in reference to this matter.Not only is this work of the Academic Colleges not overlooked,buta consideration is being given it which within no long time willshow conclusively that the policy of the University is one suffi­ciently broad to include colJege work as well as university work,and that the resources of the' University are directed to bothalike.UNITERSITY EXTENSION.It was expected that this year the University Extension lec­ture work would show a marked decrease. So great was the in·terest manifested throughout the first year of the work, that a re­action seemed to be inevitable. The continuance of the World'sFair until late in the Autumn, postponed, of course, the establish­ment of work in the old centres and the orgizination of work in newcentres. But contr�ry, to expectation and in spite of hindrances,the lecture study work is greater than during the correspondingseason of last year. The number of centres supplied from theUniversity during the Quarter has been thirty three and the num­ber of courses given thirty-five, The number of different individ­uals attending these lectures has been six thousand, A most grat­ifying feature of the work is the fact that there has been grea-t 'increase in the amount of reading in connection with the, lecturesand in the number of the papers prepared. The work takes onmore and more the character of a permanent institution in thetowns which have adopted it. The purpose of the Extension lec­ture work is becoming better understood. It is now :::een that theaim is not primarily the assistance of non-residence studentstowards the completion of a college course and the conferring ofdiplomas and degrees, but rather the directing and stimulating ofthe reading and study of those who wish to read and study underdirection. In every community there are many who desire tomaintain sytematic intellectual activity along various lines ofliterature, history and science. No one supposes for a momentthat thet Univer sity Extension lecture takes the place of the moresystematic, laborious and continuous work of the college or theuniversity. But it is clearly becoming evident that the work hasan intrinsic value of its own which will insure its permanency asa part of the educational activity of the community. The problembefore the University is wisely to meet this demand and to directthe interest already -excited in such a way as to lead to permanentresults. A steady increase has shown it,self in the work of theCorresponding Teaching department, and arrangements ,have beenmade for; the immediate organization of twenty-two classes in vari­ous subjects to meet in different parts of the city in order that thusthe advantages of the University may be extended to those who cannot come to it.STUDENT PUBLICATIONS.It has been an unfortunate thing for the T' niversity that in thepublic mind a clear distinction has not been drawn between theduly authorized publications of the University, the journals forwhich the University stands responsible before the world, and theother publications undertaken by students of the University.Thus far the policy has been adopted to allow the students of fheUniversity perfect freedom in the matter of their publications.Encouragement, to be sure, bas in some cases been given' Itwould seem, however, that the time has come for a more restrict­ive policy to be introduced' The good name of the University isin danger of receiving serious injury. A literary magazine pub. lished at the University is thought by those at a distance to be pub­lished upon the responsibility of the University. Private enter­terprises, moreover, undertaken primarily for pecuniary purposes,connected with the University directly or indirectly, must findsome other field in which to operate. While everything possiblewill be done to encourage literary activity on th� part of the stu­dents of the University, it is not incumbent upon us to furnishcapital of any kind on the basis of which magazine enterprises may'be launched, the future of which must long remain doubtful. Wescarcely need assure our friends that the University has at no timeproposed to itself the' establishment of a literary magazine whichshall rival those now published in the eastern cities,THE MOST PRESSING NEED.If you wish me to tell you to-night the most pressing need ofthe University, I will do it in a -few words. There are on theUniversity grounds to-day three distinct heating plants, all ofwhich are temporary. At great waste these different plants areconducted, Engineers, firemen and watchmen are required for all.No building on the grounds is adequately lighted. There is asyet no system of ventilation in our general lecture hall, nor canindeed the ventilation system of Kent Chemical Laboratory, themost perfect ever planned, be set in motion. What is It that weneed? A central heating and electrical plant from which everybuilding of the University may derive its source of heat and inwhich shall be located the electrical machinery which shall at thesame time adequately light and ventilate the University buildings.This need cannot properly be �lassified u�der the head of libraryor apparatus. It is, however, a necessary part of the modernequipment of a group of buildings. We need a chapel and gen­eral library building, additional laboratories and additional dormi­tories, but we need above all, and before all, the proper facilitiesfor heating and lighting the buildings that have already bee-nerected. Is there not somewhere a man who will appreciate thegreat necessity of our case and render the needed assistance?It is a pleasant task to recall to your remembrance the promisemade a few weeks since by our friend and founder, Mr. Rokefel­ler, of $500,000, payable in four quarterly installments beginningJuly rst of the present year, provided the conditions of the gift ofMr. Ryerson were fulfilled. This means a million dollars for theUniversity July r st if between now and that time $225,000 newmoney can be secured. It is not safe under all the circumstancesto be very confident as to the success of the effort. Anyone whois to-day familiar with the condition of the financial world knowsthat this amount of money can be obtained only with the greatestdifficulty. At an early date the canvass will be begun. Theassistance of p-very friend of the University will be required. Ifsuccessful, the University will have a million dollars for generalequipment, and thus the third step in its establishment will havebeen taken The first was the endowment of instruction, the sec-,ond, the provision for buildings, the third, the equipment neces­sary to make this instruction and these buildings available. Thegift of so large a sum as half a million, to be used outright for thepurchase of equipment, was a gift under all the circumstances notto have been expected from Mr. Rockefeller. Hehad plainly indi­cated that he would care for instruction, and he had also expressedthe hope that Chicago would care for buildings and equipment.He realized, however, the peculiar situation in which we foundourselves-the financial stringency which defied every effort tosecure money. Seeing our necessities and appreciating all thatwe had tried to do; he has come forward in a new and unexpectedway, and the University has stronger evidence than ever beforeof' his deep interest in its work I said a moment since thatto-day our greatest need is a heating and electrical plant. A weekago our greatest need was books. It seemed hardly possible tocontinue work without large additions to the various departmentallibraries. But how could these additions be secured' until thesuccess or failure of the effort to raise the million dollars, andon the other hand how wait until July rst ? The problem wasa serious one. It was presented to our friend in New York4 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.City. He recognized its serious character and believing thatthe niillion dollars would be raised, knowing that in any case thebooks were needed and must be purchased, he has arrangedfor $50,000 to be spent at once for books and equipment.The distribution has already been' made, and the several depart­ments are now at liberty to make their orders in .accordance withthe appropriations designated. Did ever institution have a betterfriend?On Saturday last we purchased the most complete set ofUnited States public documents in existence; more complete,indeed, than that possessed by Congress itself Light surely hascome where before there was great darkness; and thus one by onethe difficulties of our situation are being overcome.The University was pleasantly surprised a day or two beforeChristmas by receiving from Mrs. Amanda S. Cook, of the city ofChicogo, a gift of $r,ooo to be used as the president might indicate.Very numerous and generous donations have been made to thescientific collections of the University from the exhibits at theColumbian Exposition and from other sources. The list is toolong for full enumeration. It embraces valuable gifts from thecommonwealths of Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado,Dakota, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minne­sota, Montana, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Washing­ton and West Virginia: from the neighboring provinces of BritishColumbia, Ontario, Quebec and from the Canadian Government;from the more distant countries of Cape Colony, Chili, France,Great Britain, Greece, India, Italy, Mexico, New South Wales,Russia, Spain, Swede� and Ven ez u la , Among the corporationsand individuals who have made contributions may be mentioned:the Standard Oil Company, the Barbar Asphalt Company, the Carborundum Company, the Colorado Hone-Stone Company, theIllinois Clay Company, the New Pedrara Onyx Company, theGranville Lead and Zinc Company, the Wisconsin Lead and ZincCompany, the Webb City Commercial Club, the Iron MountainRail way, the Copper Queen Mining Company, the California Min­ing Bureau, W. R. Grace & Company, the Thetford AsbestosCompany, Mr. C. S, Beachler, Mr. J. A. Edman and Mrs. HenrySheldon.The United States Government and the United States Geo­logical Survey have made valuable loans for an indefinite time.With an appreciation of the kindness of our friends whichwords will not express, and with a still strong�r desire to do forthe cause of education that which, situated as we are, it is pos·sible for us to do, we take up the work of the new year. The workis an arduous one, but the reward is a great reward, one surelyworth the struggle, and one to gain which we may, with entireconfidence, put forth every effort, relying, as we have relied, uponstrength other than that which we ourselves possess.The following letter from Mr. Kent was read byPresident Harper at the convocation last week:"In thanking the speakers for the many kind things said thisevening, I would, in reply, like it said for me that if in any:smallmeasure the work of my life can contribute to the advancement ofknowledge and the greater happiness of men; if this «an be done inthis city, where my busy days have been spent and where my heartis, and if, as I believe, we who have aided in the work of erectingthis great University have helped to lay the foundations of what cannever be destroyed, I feel in this work a pride and a happiness thathas never been equalled in my life."New Students.

A subscription paper which started in the WEEKLY office went the rounds of theCampus, and a total of about $40 was raised withwhich to make his heart glad on Christmas day.The University gave $5, President Harper, $3; theUniversity Press, $2; and' the WEEKLY, $2; Profes­sors Bemis, Judson, Talbot, Henderson, Abbott,Secretary Goodspeed, and Messers. Grose, Vincent,Wartenberg, Robertson, Vincent, C. W. Chase,Louis Wolff, the General Library Staff and theGraduate Dormitory each gave $1, and $3 was raisedin Snell Hall, by Joseph Leizer.Oliver, when presented with the amount, expressedhis surprise and gratitude, mingled with blushes, inthe most approved manner. The mail carriers deemthe University route among the most difficult in thedistrict, and M r. Chenier has done his work faithfullyand well.The idea of a "triple league," to be composed ofLake Forest, Chicago and Northwestern Universities,mentioned by Tile Stentor three weeks ago, appearsto meet with general favor. - Such being the case, wesuggest that delegates be chosen from each of thethree schools named, to meet in Chicago before theGhristmas holidays if possible, in order to discusspreliminary plans of organization. The league shouldbe perfectly organized before the athletic seasonopens next spring.-Lake Forest Stentor.In Camp.We'll ne'er forget those summer daysWe camped above the river,The sparkling stream all bathed in lightThe sunshine dancing ever.The crystal spring beneath the hill,That elm-trees, bending cover.The sunny days, the freezy nightsWill ever live them over.In mem'ry then we'll float againAlong the river's borderWith moss and ferns and tangled leavesIn picturesque disorder.Still, on the bluff's leaf-tangled edgeThe cedar to the crest clingsWhen long ago, with bough of green,It sheltered eagles' nestlings.The crimson of the evening sky­Pink lights and purple shadows­Were mirrored in the water brightWith green of fields and meadows.Across the stream the fields of grainShone mellow in the gloamingBetween the woods beneath the skyWhere fleecy clouds were roaming.The evening sun, low sinking downLeft shadows round us clingingBut in the woods the fire-fly flashed,The Whippoorwill was singing,When city walls fast close us in,So narrowing and cramping,Those sights and sounds come back againThat blessed that summer's camping.E. W.found th�t they contributed more than anyone otherthing towards creating in students a livlier interest intheir work. The committee of university menand women who have labored 111 the interests ofthe society deserve the thanks of every member ofour community. They have succeeded in enlistingthe services of many of the most prominent citizensof Chicago, and have already established a consider­able fund. That their efforts may meet with thegreatest possible success is our earnest wish.6 UNIVERSUY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.U:.JIVERSITY OF CHICI\GO WEEKLY.PUBLISHED WEEKLY IN THE INTEREST OF THE STUDENTS OF THEG"NIVERSITY OF CHICAGO.MANAGER, C.

Pro­fessionalism in college athletics has been much morecommon in the east than in the west, yet our westerncolleges have not been entirely free from it. Directcharges have been made against several of our west­ern institutions, and one in particular has acquiredthe unenviable reputation of being a "hotbed ofprofessional base-ballists" (to quote an eastern ex­change of last season) It might be well for theathletic associations of all of our western colleges tofollow the example of Harvard, and adopt rules srm-willing to train for base ball. Let there be more ilar to hers. The greed for victory which ani-attention paid to this matter. Chicago must make arecord on tbe diamond this year.**WITH the object of creating an interest 111, andsecuring the endowment of fellowships andscholarships for worthy students of high scholarshipin the University of Chicago, and raising and admin­istering funds to be loaned to students of the U n iver­sity, who shall be properly recommended by aninvestigating committee, the Students' Fu ud Societyhas been organized. The announcement of thesuccessful culmination of the labors of the leaderswho had the matter of the. Fund Society in charge,has beep received wi th pleasure by every rnem ber ofthe University, and it is with pride and joy that theWEEKLY greets the new organization. It has longbeen felt that a great university such as ours IS, oneconducted on so magnificien t a scale, should havean organization of this character. I t has been suc­cessfully derncnstr ated that fund societies are asuccess. They have been tried in many of th e greated ucationa! insti t ut ions of Our cQuntr?, and it has, been mates every athletic. association often leads intoserious error, and it is fast becoming realized thatprofessionalism is a great evil. The purification ofcollege athletics is then a serious question, and thesevere action of the Harvard association is to becommended. The new rules read: Rule I, ama­teurs-No one shall be allowed to represent HarvardUniversity in any public contest, either individuallyor as a mem ber of any team, who, either before orafter entering the university, shall have' engaged formoney in any athletic com petition, w betber for astake or money prize, or a share of the en trance feesor admission money; or who shall have taught sportas a means of livelihood; or who sball at any timehave received for taking part in 2ny athletic sport orcontest any pecuniary emolument or gain whatever,with the single exception that he may bave receivedfrom the college organization or from any permanentamateur association of which he was at time a m ern-.ber the amount by which the expenses necessarilyincurred by him representing his organization inathletic contests exceeded his ordinary exp·enses.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO \VEEKL\/.Rule 2, bona fide students-No one shall beallowed to represent Harvard University in any pub­lic contest, either individually or as a member of anyteam, unless he is or intends to be throughout acollege year a bona fide member of the u nivers ity,taking a full year's work. A student who is droppedfor neglect of 'b is studies into a lower class shall bedebarred from taking pan in -any in tercollegiate con-otests until the end of the next academic year, or untilhe is permitted by the faculty to rejoin his class.Noone hereafter entering the uni-versity who is not aregular student in the college or scientific school, andno regular students in either of these departments 7who has ever played upon an intercollegiate contest,upon a class or university team of any other college,shall play upon a Harvard team until he has residedone academic year at the university and passed theannual examinations upon a full year's work.Rule 3, time limit-No student, whenever he hasrepresented one or more colleges, shall take part inthe intercollegiate contests for more than four years;and this period shall begin with the year in which asa player upon a university team he first representedany college. In reckoning the four years the year ofprobation mentioned in rule 2 shall be excluded, andalso any year lost to a student in illness.ETCHINGS.THE RIVAL SOCIETIES.New Year's Eve, and Miss Snoogs sat in the quietconservatory thinking over the conquests she hadmade during the afternoon. The old custom of NewYear's calls had not been forgotten in Flogstown,and ever since early afternoon Miss Snoogs hadreceived. There had been a host of callers, and MissSnoogs went over the list in her little mind, and aseach individual came up before her mental vision shesmiled at the thought of how certain ones had sue­cuinbed to her beauty, vowing never again toallow a whole long weary year to pass without avail­ing himself of an opportunity to call upon her.There was little Tommy Kitts, whose father wasreputed to have made a fortune out of pigs' feet.TOG1my was a catch, and Miss Snoogs had made animpression upon his feeble mind. The impressionhad driven glowing words out of Tommy's brain andmouth into Miss Snoogs' ear, and she had beensupremely happy while Tommy was stuttering, "MissSnoogs, you are the first girl this year that has won myheart." Tommy had never been accredited with muchdepth of intellect, and it must not be thought that hesaid this as a joke. Besides, the year was too youn->for joking remarks. But Miss Snoogs had laughedand smiled sweetly, showing a set of dazzling whiteSozodorit teeth, the glitter of which made Tommyblink.And then there was Freddy U shey, who hadthrown over Old Dumson's lovely daughter, an heir­ess to m ill ions. And why? Simply because Dum­son's fortune had been made in the manufacture oftallow candles. Freddy was aristocratic, and hismamma had insisted that no coal baron's son shouldmarry into a family whose occupation in hfe was solowly. Miss Snoogs had allowed her hand to remainlonger than was absolutely necessary in Freddy'spalm as he was bidding her "good night." And� Freddy had blushed a deep, deep crimson as henoticed that she stood under the mistletoe. But he was brave in danger, Freddy was, and he had kissed her.Miss Snoogs blushed now as she remembered the kiss,but her brow darkened as she heard in memory thering of the door bell and saw again the entrance ofanother caller just as Freddy was about to say-to saysomething. But Miss Snoogs, although she- had allthese sweet memories upon which to ponder, was notsatisfied. The one who, above all others she admired,,and even loved, had not cal(ed upon her. HalleyPrecious, the idol of her girlish heart; he who hadlong worshipped at her shrine; he who was a modelof temperance and virtue. Vices, he had' non e. Thefollowers of society into whose company fate 'hadthrown Halley had not succeeded in making him con­genial. He would not drink,' smoke, nor gamble, andalthough the men of his set respected him for' hisstrength of character, and envied him his popularity,they sneered at his virtues and laughed at what theycalled his "teetotalistic foolishness." But : MissSnoogs neither sneered nor laughed at his principles.She was temperance; the leaderof the Young Women'sAnti-Saloon and Gambling Association, and she hadoften succeeded in "tapping" Halley for money to beused in the suppression of the liquor traffic among theSandwich Islanders. And this paragon of excellencehad not called upon Miss Snoogs. She sighed andglanced sadly at the jewelled watch suspended fromher bracelet.. "Will lIe not come?" she was thinkingwhen the door-bell rang. Joyfully shej umped out ofher chair, ran to a pier glass and arranged her hair.Then walking swiftly into the drawing-room, sheturned down the gas. Now the room was quite dark,and Miss Snoogs seated herself upon a low ottomanin the darkest corner. She satisfied herself that therewas plenty of room for two on the seat, and then shecomplacently folded her hands and awaited the caller.But alas! it was only the butcher's boy with sausagefor breakfast. He wished the maid a "Merry NewYear" as he gave her the package, and Miss Snoogs'quick ear caught the sound of a different greeting,8 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.but perhaps it was only the wind. Rage and anguishwas in Miss Snoogs' heart. Rage at the fortunatemaid servant who had an admirer who did his duty,and anguish that sh� was forgotten. But hush!Through the casement is wafted the sound of a lovesong.. The song runs:"I've something sweet to tell youThe secret you must keep, .And if it isn't righ t to tellI'm talking in my sleep."The song comes nearer. The singer cracks on ahigh note and follows the crack with three' -hics" anda tiger. Miss Snoogs scowls. Now tangled footstepsare ascending the marble steps, the electric buttonis pressed long, and the noise startles even the quietchickens in the back yard. The maid does notanswer the bell, and the bell keeps ringing. MissSnoogs runs and opens the door herself. Before herstartled vision is the familiar form of a man attired in adress suit, and wearing a woman's hat cocked rakishlyon one side of his head. One of his eyes is black,the result of a bout with a lamp post. The mouth ofthe man opens, and in a broken voice he si ngs:"Miss Snoogs-oogs-oogs,I love you, I adore you, butI'm talking in my sleep.""Come in, Halley," says Miss Snoogs sweetly,"and tell me how you are."Halley came in. He removed his hat and bowedceremoniously and then leaned against a potted palmwhich broke and let him down upon the floor. Hearose, and again bowed and spoke.":\liss Snoogs," he said slowly and thickly, "I haveloved you long, loved you long, long, long. But Imust tell you now that I can never marry you. ViolaBeer is now my love, love, love, and she sent me totell you that you must give me the money that I gaveyou for your Anti-Anti-Anti-something society. Saidm un to be used in the purchase of beer, beer, beer."Miss Snoogs breathed heavily."And now, farewell, farewell," Halley went on,"Viola and I are members of the Society for the Pre­vention of Cruelty to the Sandwich people, and wehave to figh t your society .. do you see, dear?"Farewell, where's my nat, b.rewell." And Hal­ley had skated out into the night."This is too much, too much," said little MissSnoogs, and going to a cactus plant near the door,she broke off a leaf, ate it and died.The funeral was attended by the en tire societyfor the Prevention of Cruelty among the SandwichIslanders and the Y.

Grey, sul­len-looking clouds, slowly shifting into massivekaleidoscopic forms, hung over the sky, Here andthere, above the bleak, desolate fields, an old weather­beaten oak stood ou t against the horizon like the fleshless skeleton of its autumn grandeur; and nowand then beside the rough section road towered thebare poles of a derrick some farmer had used in build­ing his stack of hay.Over the ruts of the frozen country turnpike alonely tramp was plodding on his endless beat) hug­ging his ragged coat about his hollow breast, andbending down his head to ward away the biting wind.It was a dreary day for him. The great gaps in hisclothes looked up mutely, piteously, to the grim skyfor covering, and in the weakness of starvation hestaggered rather than walked on his way. A lowstraggling country village lay before him, and intohis imagination came rainbow hued visions of warmth,sympathy, shelter, perhaps a bit to eat. He saw alarge well-to-do looking farm-house; he paused amoment in hope and fear, then pushed aside the old­fashioned picket gate and made his way to the kitchendoor.Softly he tapped upon the panel. A kind-facedwoman came to the door."What do y'Oll want, my man?" she asked."Plase, mum, Oi'm wan and starving, and frazin';can't ye help me, mum, only j ust a little bit?""Certainly, my poor fellow.""God bless ye, mum," he responded fervently, ashe stepped within the warmth of the room.""X' ou shall have something to eat and sup todrink as soon as I can get it."His sunken eyes gleamed ravenously."I see that my fine wood is all out," she con­tinued, "if you will go out to the shed and bring mean armful, I think we can have things ready in amoment. "He slowly turned toward the door and made hisway down the steps. There he hesitated. He gaveone glance back at the kitchen, where he could hearthe sound of the preparation of his dinner, took justone step more toward the wood shed, then m'ut ter ing ,"St. Patrick, but it's New Year's day, and Oi can'tshtart the new year loike this," he turned on his heeland stumbled on in his course.They found him the following day."Starved," the jury said. THE WANDERER.THE BURNING OF THE WHITE CITY,I stood on the Plaza in the Court of Honor lastnight and watched the "Dream City" disappear inflames. The whole East was illuminated by thisFuneral Pyre of Beauty, a mass of moving, luminouslight, mounting higher and higher against the blue blacksky with great' flames changing from gold into deep­est crimson, chasing ever after. The ghost-likeheroes over the Peristyle that guard the entranceare seen now and then when the flames lift, faithfulas were the real soldiers under fire. 0L!r goddess,the Republic, stands in the midst untouched, serene,as if defying the elements; her majestic figure madeUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY ..resplendent by the billows of flame raging around.To the right, in front of the burning Casino, the figureof Neptune, from his lofty pillar, gleams through theglare like a god who had descended to watch thissacrifice of beauty. To the north and south thedomes and towers have caught the glow, and theirgraceful forms are outlined against the dense darkblueness. Everywhere, on bridge and balustradethe crowds of' men and women stand silent. Themagnificen t sublimi ty of the scene oppressess in itsawesomeness. Now and then a shout goes up, asanother engine arrives to fight the flames. Hear thatcrash; three more pillars of the Peristyle have fallen.N ow the flames leap over the Music Hall in madrevelry, climbing the pillars like fiery serpents, andplaying around the feet of the statues. The smoke has 9shifted, only two figures are now left of that longrank, looking in their robe of whiteness like theangel in the midst of the fiery furnace. The pillarsfall from under them, while breathless we watch them. upon their slender shaft, but soon the spectre guardsarc seen no more.The ,. Dream City" has spoken for itself. Notthe ruthless hand of the relic hunter or faggot seeker,shall assail her. With one last grand il lumi na tionshe will pass out of the world for ever. As I turnedto le�ve the vision of the Republic 'mid the luridlight was ambered in my memory.
