After all the inconveniencesincident to carrying on such a work by correspond­ence, the committee is glad to announce to the mem­bers of the W. C. P. -A. that the work of devising theplans has been accomplished, and it only re�11ains forall interested to assist in carrying them into effect,and put forth every effort to make the letter a success.The benefits to be derived from such a letter hardlyneed to be elaborated on here, as they are patent toall, and will suggest themselves when we set forth thepurpose of this matter later on.Recognizing the need, in view of the best welfareof the organization, of a better and more continuousacquaintance among its members, the committee hascarried this work forward with the idea of accom­plishing the desired end through the communicationof items of news and information of general interest,and suggestions that will lead to the improvement ofwestern journalism. Such is the purpose of the let­ter.The frequency of publication has been decided tobe once every two weeks, the publication to be in oneof the papers of the organization, chosen by the com­mittee, as instructed by the convention. The Uni­versity of Chicago WEEKLY has been selected as theofficial organ. The amount of space to be devotedto the letter is to be announced later.The supervision of the letter is to fall by rotationin the order given below, to the managing editors oreditors in- chief of the papers belonging to the asso­ciation:The Earlham; Earlham College, Richmond, Ind.The Pegasus, Eureka, Ill.The U. of C.

Brief suggestions and pointed thoughts onsuch topics as: The relation of the Daily to the Uni­versity; of the Newspaper to the College; of theLiterary paper to the College and to the University;of the Literary Department and the News Departmentin the College paper, etc., etc., will be very inter­esting. As these topics may easily be treated vpryextensively, however, care must be taken to be briefand pointed in the letter. Such items as the individ­ual papers have to contribute should be sent to thepaper that has charge of the letter for that time.That paper, i. e. the proper member of the staH,should at once arrange the matter coll.ected alongwith his own, and forward to the official organ forpublication.Now let everyone interested in the success ofcollege journalism in the West, take hold of tb is matter with zeal, and let us push it to success.

It IS hoped that as many of the CollegiateAlumni from '6r to '93, as can, will aim to be present,and that Alumni from out of the city will plan toremain over and attend the University Day exercisesat the University on the 22d.The Alumni congratulate the University on havingsecured the services of Prof. S. W. Burnham for itsdepartment of Astronomy, and congratulate ProfessorBurnham as being the recipient of the gold medal ofthe Royal Astronomical Society of London. Theminiature observatory, erected in the back yard ofProfessor Burnham's residence on Vincennes avenue,was a familiar object to the older Alumni, and thememory of the old Dearborn Observatory, then a partof the University of Chicago, where a large part ofthe work was done that has made him famous, is nodoubt dear to the mind of the professor. ProfessorBurnham has always been an enthusiastic amateurphotographer, and the use of the camera in photo­graphing his observations has no doubt added verymaterially to his success.While on the subject of astronomy we might notethe fact that Herbert A. Howes, '74, is professor ofAstronomy in the University of Denver, where he hasmade a reputation second to none among the RockyMountain Astronomers.2 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Press Association, and then. make such improvementsas the light of experience may reveal.

In the summer of '92, the fifty-thirdgeneral convention of the fraternity granted a dis­pensation to seven prospective students of the Uni­versity, empowering them to constitute themselvesthe nucleus of a chapter of Beta Theta Pi, and pledg­ing them a charter as soon as they should makefurther petition for one. Under this dispensationthe candidates were duly initiated by a meeting ofsixty Betas in the hall of Northwestern D niversityChapter, on the evening of September joth, '92; andon the following morning, when the Universityopened, the seven members had been organized asthe nucleus of a chapter. The action taken by theFaculty shortly afterward in ma�ing the first yearacademic rule, compelled a circumspect course ofaction during the college-year '92, '93, as five of theinitiates were underclassmen. In June, proper petitionwas filed with all the sixty chapters of the fraternity.In July, 'the fifty-fourth annual convention met at theBeta Theta general club house at Wooglin, LakeChautauqua, and the charter for the University ofChicago was unanimously granted. The organizationof the chapter was immediately completed, the datefor formal insta lla tion fixed for Jan uary '94, and activework began with the opening of the autumn quarter.On the evening of January twenty-fifth, preliminaryceremonies were administered to four candidates forin itia.tio n : Horace Gillette Lozier, Henry W. Wales,Marshall E. Sampsell, Loren M. Russell. On thefollowing evening a hundred and fifty Betas, amongthem all of Northwestern's charter, held an enthus­iastic banquet at the Union League. C. D. Roys,president of the Chicago alumni, presided, andJudge Peter S. Grosscup, was speaker of the evening ..R. P. Smith was delegated by the general secretaryto make the address of installation. He also prepareda special Beta song for the occasion, to the air of" Marching Thro' Georgia," which fully raised theroof. Further ini t iation ceremonies were given thefour neophytes, and after general rejoicing, speech­making, song-making, and a chorus of yells from therepresentatives and alumni of the sister chapters ofNorthwestern, Beloit, Madison, and Michigan, thebrotherly band broke up. The chapter roll is as fol­lows: Eward O. Sisson, R. P. Smith, W. P. Behan,H. G. Lozier, H. L. Clarke, R. P. Hobart, E. E.Tood, H. H. Hewitt, R. C. Dudley, H. J. Smith, H.yv. Wales, L. M.

All singers of the University are most cor­dially in vited to unite with this organization. Amongother selections the chorus is rehearsing at present" Unto us a Child is born," from the" Messiah" and"The Stars are' Shining in Heaven," by Rhien­berger.The University Orchestral rehearsals are held inthe Auditorium of the Kent Chemical Laboratory onWednesday evenings, at 7 o'clock. All students whoplay orchestral instruments are invited to join theUniversity Chorus.In the Thanksgiving number of the University ofChicago WEEKLY, Professor Judson says that he isthankful" because there are no traditions in the U ni­versity of Chicago, making it essential to the happi­ness of a student that he should be a rowdy." Letus be equally thankful that the 1. S. N.

J. Turner. The following abstract of thecri tic ism is taken from the Daily Cardinal:Prof. Turner began his review by giving a briefsketch of Von Holst's life and the advantages and dis­ad vantages under which he wrote. He had receivedhis training in the critical German school of his· time,and was particularly careful to go to original sources.His being a foreigner gave him an advantage in thathe could write without any prejudice. The time ofhis writing and the place, where he was overshadowedby Tammany hall, was a disadvantage to him. He alsohad written the first two volumes of his work beforehe ever visited the west, and the very fact of his writ­ing from original sources, which in most instanceswere partisan newspapers and speeches and congress­ional reports, tended to give him erroneous ideas, and,in fact, to almost draw him away from the main tend­encies which produced the history he proposed writing.The history was to be of the growth of American dem­ocracy, but it was, in reality, a history of slavery. Ofthe seven volumes included in the work, two coverthe period from 1750 to 1846, five from 1846 to 1861.He looks upon the question of "state sovereignty" assettled wi th tile adoption of the consti tu tion, andtherefore skips the great formative period of thesouthern dominition and the growth of western influ­ence and ideas. The diplomatic history of the countryand the influence of immigration are also passed bywithout any conception of the importance they might.contain.He endeavors to account for the rise of democracywith the election of Jackson to the presidency, buthis explanation is insufficient. He failed to noticethat a western democracy had arisen which had, be­fore the accession of Jackson, forced the extension of.the franchise, and that labor had developed into anhonorable and independent institution. The westdemanded a fair division of the governmental powers.Already the presidency had been taken from the statelegislatures and put directly into the hands of thepeople. The facts were, the west and center de­manded rights and achieved democracy. Real democ­racy sprang from the forests of western America in­stead of the depths of Germany.Von Holst fails to see all this. All the varied influ­ence of the mixing of European races, of the existenceof a people free from Europe in free American soil, ofthe western movement and growth, of the extensionof the franchise, of the evolution of a highly com­posite and intensely industrial life, of sectionalism,even of the development and interpretation of ourconstitution, all these totally escaped Von Holst. To slavery alone he devotes his energies and with this,even, he can hardly deal fairly with the originalsources from which he draws, and the peculiar viewswhich he holds.The verdict must be that Von Holst has not writtena consti tutional history of the United States. Thestudent who goes to his. work for information on anyof th e se su bjects spoken of, or in regard to changesin state consti tutions, supreme courts, public lands,the diplomatic service, or anything else except atreatise on slavery, comes away disappointed. Forthese reasons the work must fall short of being whatit is called.Gen. Bryant, Dr. Haskins, Prof. Coffin, Mr. Greg­ory and Mr. Lib by spoke on the subject and agreed,in the main, with Mr. Turner's criticisms of thiswork.Beecher Hall.Beecher's transformed parlor IS getting to beaccepted as a sober reality.

Any increase in elegant repose thatguests may observe in their hostesses' manners mustbe counted part of the debt to Mrs. Beecher and Mrs.Walker, and to Mr. Cobb, the donor of our perma17entpictures. Already it is becoming bad form to sit onthe stairs, as is proved by the awful proposal made atthe last house meeting to cover our aesthetic sofa pil­lows.

Have not the young men and the youngHenson upon Dr. Harper in the Ez)ming Post, for"advocating opinions out of place in a Baptist U niversity" uncalled for. Would Dr. Henson forbidliberality of speech in a university? This is nodenominational college. It is not a Baptist U n iver­sity. The only thing Baptist about this Universityis the divinity school. It may not be agreeable tothe Baptists to think so, but this University ISbroader than the Baptist denomination can everexpect to be. All faiths and sects are welcome tocome here and study and say what they think. AnEpiscopalian divinity school would be as welcome asthe Baptist theological seminary.** *THE grade attained in a course, we are informed,is a matter of "confidence" between theinstructors and the university. This statement needsa: slight modification. If a student is marked D or E,he is apprised of it by the examiner, and in theevent of not receiving any notice from that office,iti,s known by implication that the grading has beenA, B or C. It is optional with the instructor to givethe exact standing attained. However, it seemspractically impossible in some departments of theUniversity for a student to learn the estimate puton his work by the faculty during a quarter. Inform­ation is always difficult to obtain, and then is of avague and general nature. Is grading a kind ofpolice regulation, a matter of surveillance set on footby the faculty, or is it as well a guage that showsthe student whether he is doing the amount of work;and more especially the kind of work required by theinstructors? We believe' it is for both purposes.Probably everyone does as much work that does notappear in the daily recitations as does. Fromhis grading he may know whether he is dissipatinghis energies too much. Every writer for the pressknows how difficult it is to catch "the style" of anyspecified paper. So it is in recitations. Oneinstructor may be very strenuous about a matter thatto another instructor seems of but slight importance ..The system of grading shows the student whether ornot he has correctly judged "the style," so to say, ofUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO \VEEKL Y.th e instructor. If a student has been graded properly-and there is no intention to even hint that this is notthe case--why should there be any secrecy about themarks? The answer we have received is that a manor woman, old enough to enter a university, oughtto have intelligence enough to make a correct esti­mate of what he is doing. Well, unfortunately,what ought to be does not, in this instance at least,coincide with the facts, nor does this state of affairscast discredit on the students. The standardrequired in different schools vanes widely. Indeed,this same difference, as is well known, is equallynoticeable in different instructors in the same institu­tion. What harm can there be in making knownon request exactly what grading has been received?It certainly would be of advantage to the stu­dents. At the proper time and at the proper place,there should be no difficulty for a man or woman tofind out- exactly what his grading is. Let the marksbe open for inspection** *THAT athletic sports of all. kin�s have not pros­pered more at the U niversi ty of Chicago isthe fault of the students alone. No blame can be men trained where there should have been half ahundred or more. And it was only through the heroicefforts of the sturdy few that Chicago was able tomake a good showing on the gridiron field.But we still looked forward hoping that the base,ball training season would find us well equipped withcompetent earnest men. Enthusiasts pred ic ted thata great ball team was in sight, that fully fifty menwould train, among whom there would be pitchersand catchers and basemen galore. The trainingseason has come, an d after several weeks of obser­vation we are compelled to prouounce the predic­tion false. The same lack of spirit that we havedeplored so often is again manifesting itself. Theresurely must be some reason for this disaffection ofthe studen ts toward all athletic sports. It may be thatit may be ascribed to a too great zeal for learning.Or, as one rather disgusted athlete suggests, it maybe laid to co-education. However, we are loath toagree with the latter's hypothesis. What then isthe reason that so few studen ts interest themselvesin the athletics of our University? It ,certainly cannot be that our students do not realize that moderateindulgence in athletics is beneficial. And yet thisseems to be the most charitable view to take of thelaid at the door of the faculty. This body has put difficulty.the seal of approval upon every athletic sport which,it is supposed, is the joy of the college man. Adepartment has been created and kept up by theUniversity, and' liberal amounts of money have beenspent in making this department as complete as thecircumstances will allow. And yet it is fully evidentthat the seed of athletic spirit has not sprouted.The soil is rich, but the seed is unwilling. To thefew who do take an interest in the athletics of Chi­cago and who point out the path to athletic great­ness by their labors, the selfish lack of spirit of themajority is hard to understand. 'At other institu­tions, where blind and old fogyish faculties frownupon athletics and attempt to stamp out athieticspirit, amateur sports seem to thrive. Here, whereeverything possible is done to encourage out-of-doorsports, only a small minority avails itself of theopportunities, and the result is that the duty ofupholding the honor of the orange falls upon a few.There is but little, if any, greater interest taken in,athletics this year than last. It is with shame thatwe say it, but it is true. Look at the efforts of thefoot-ball manager last fall. The same difficulties expe r i- An eminent man writing 111 Harper's Weekly hastaken the view that athletics are beneficial. Hispoints are good and may serve to convince some ofour students that 'athletics are not altogether bad.He says:Even if we look at the question only from the standpointof the student it is probable that there is no just ground for thecomplaints against athletics. Investigation of the records madeby athletes at Harvard a few years ago disclosed the fact thattheir average standing was above that of the rest of the class, Myown observation leads me to believe that this will hold true as ageneral rule; for though athletes may stand below the hard­working men who know nothing but study, they usually standwell above the men of vicious or fibreless character, who naturallyfall to the foot of the class,If, on the other hand, we adopt the standpoint of the manwho looks to the results in after-life, the athlete appears to evenbetter advantage, The men who take part in vigorous sports,whether they attain to the first rank, or merely stand among thosewho get no particular honor at the time, but have nearly as muchfun and just as much ultimate benefit, are apt in after life to dorather better in the rough work of the world than those of theirfellows who had no taste for athletic work. Of course there areexceptions to this, and it does not apply at all to those who fol­low sport for their business.One very great benefit of athletic sports arise from theircn ced in r892 were met' with in '93.

This is an honor which welowed has been very satisfactorily outlined III operation.this communication, and all that is now 'needed tomake the W. C. P. A. a vital power, a power whoseinfluence may be felt throughout the length andbreadth of western college journalism, is the co-ope-ra­tion of every editor and every college student. Anexchange recently deplored the lack of an organiza­tion in the west such as the eastern college press has.1£ the present plans of the W. C. P. A. are carriedthey tend to lessen the importance of the merely social clubs, andof "popular" leaders in the different colleges. If .the victoriousathlete sometimes eclipse the glory that rightfully belongs to thehard student, it is yet true, on the other hand, that he also throwsinto the shade the old-time college hero who strove to obtainleadership by his wealth, his social position, or his prominence infast life. This is, of course, an unadulterated benefit, especiallyto the boy's after-career. Looking over the men whom I knewin my day at college, it is noteworthy that those who thenwere leaders in athletic sports, now twelve or fifteen years after­wards, stand on the average above rather than below their fellowswho did not take part in manly exercises; just exactly as on theaverage the men who stood well in their studies then now occupya position, as a rule. rather better than that of those who did not.Theie are many exceptions to both rules, of course, and it is avery melancholy thing to see a man who in middle life rests hissole title to consideration upon the fact that he was once a mem­ber of a university team, or was once a man who was markedhighest in his Latin courses; but these are exceptions only, andthey are not much more exceptional among the athletes thanamong the hard students. To take the sports which it is at pre­sent the fashion most to decry, foot ball and rowing, among myfriends I happen to number several ex-captains of foot-ball teamsof crews, and they are, as a whole, decidedly above, not b-low,the ordinary standard of college graduates; they are men who dotheir duty well, both to the state and to their own families-menwho are, in short, good American citizens.There should be a better athletic feeling mani-fested by the students. The WEEKLY trusts thatthe improvement will be marked by a large addi­tion to the small force now in training for base-balland track athletics in the gynmnasimn.**: *THE attention of the members of the WesternCollege Press Association IS called to theletter from its executive committee published inanother column. The plan of work to be fol-out, there can be no cause for further complaint inthis regard.

Thus each has missed an opportunity toappreciate the broad extent of the field of Science.That a man should love his peculiar pursuit beyondall others is natural and right. Only by concen trationcan he arrive at valuable and original results. Inthese days of specialism, however, it is necessary to,call attention to the importance of a cursory acquaint­ance with work in other fields of Science.

It is that of the well-known Washingtonbook connoisseur, Lowdermilk, and is complete.For years and years the bibliographer has been get­ting together from many sources, the books and pamph­lets that have come from the government presses eversince the government printed anything. While otherliterateurs have been delving in poetry and prose,philology and history, this collector has been accu­mulating in his book treasury works which will be ofvalue to the research student in American history.His repository contains congressional reports whichwould make a congressman weary, and files of theCongressional Globe and the Congressional Record, whichseem to date from the flood. Six or seven thousandvolumes in public books and printed documents form'a mine of knowledge in which the student in Amer­ican history will always be interested. This collectionwas negotiated through Head Professor Laughlin, for·the departments of political economy, political science, .history and social science. Negotiations, pendingfor some time, were only consummated when John D.Rockefeller made his gift of $50,000 for books. lastChristmas.

It is said to be a greatercollection t l.au that in the Co ngressional Library atWashington.Another Treasure.One of the most curious legacies of the World'sFair to the University is a copy of an old map of theworld, On which is shown what philologists believe tobe the original site of Chicago. The map hangs inPresident Harper's office, and bears a bronze inscrip-'tion in old German letters, which translated reads:"Oldest appearance of name Chicago-- Chicaloga, onengraved marble slab, prepared by the court carpen­ter, Hans Schiefenstein, in the year 1606." The map isnine inches wide and eighteen inches long. It waspresented to the University by the German commis­sioner, Dr. Charles Richter. The marble slab bear­'ing this crude map of the world was found a coupleof hundred years ago, and lies at the museum of theRoyal Historical Society at Dresden. When theWorld's Fair opened with its noising abroad of thename of Chicago, phtlologists got to. studying this oldmap to see if the city of the lakes was known to the8Affairs at Hardscrabble.If the student from a rural Illinois district, whodropped his paper in Cobb Hall last week, shouldrecognize the following items clipped therefrom, hemay recover the paper by calling at this office:Weather is fine for this time of year.It is reported that Hiram still visits the widow every twoweeks.Dodge called on the Bee this week and took a turn at the longgreen.Sammy Stader say he ain't in it any more he guesses; his girlhas gone back on him.Frank Harbaugh thinks he wi ll plant his onions next week ifit stays nice weather.The Y.

It is a special Thanksgivirig number andits literary department is especially interesting. Italso contains a large picture of the new Yerkes tele­scope with a full description of it. --Beloit RoundTable.The University of Chicago has lately suffered fromthe same sort of misrepresentation which Lake ForestCollege (especially the college girls) received at thehands of the newspapers two years ago, when a com­paratively harmless prank was magnified as an out­burst of _lawlessness. The papers recently gave start­ling accounts of the manner in which the Chicago dor­mitories and buildings had been defaced during thenight hours. The last number of the U. of C.WEEKLY takes vigorous exception to the exaggeratedreports. We heartily join in condemning the spiritof so many Chicago papers to sacrifice truth for sen­sationalism. The paper mentioned, however, admitsthat some small offences have been committed at vari­ous times, and in that conviction voices a sentimentwhich is rapidly gaining ground, namely, that whencollege pranks go so far as to become vandalism theyshould be dealt with, not by the college authorities,but should be turned over to the criminal courts.College van d alism would then cease to be "at a pre­mium,)) and the guilty parties would cease to be aspecies of heroes, for a justice court trial will quicklykill mock heroism. - UniversitJI Stentor, Lake Forest,1/1.

After various planshad been talked over, it was voted to imitate theorganization of the U. S. Senate, modifying somewhatthe rules of the floor, in order to prevent monopoly byany long-winded senator. Each mem ber of this mockSenate will assume the name, and, as far as possible,the character of one of the present living specimensat Washington. One suggestion at a time will be takenup., and worried by the two opposing parties undertheir respective leaders, who will have complete chargeof the discussion, and will assign to the Senators theparts they are to play, and the time they may havefor the playing of them. It is believed that thepresent scheme directly to imitate an existing politi­cal body possesses many advantages over the attemptlast year to form a mock House of Representatives,which should represent the political color, not of itsnational prototype, but of the University. About adozen more Democratic and ten more RepublicanSenators are wanted.
