HAMLIN,185 WABASH AVE., CHICAGO.University of Chicago Weekly.CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, MAR. 1, 1894.-MY NEIGHBOR.Single Copies,10 Cents.THE other room on the top floor had been vacatedfor some time, and my landlady had confided tome that she feared, she could not rent it un till spring, butone day as I laboriously clim bed the last flight lead­ing to my eyrie I saw a sight that filled me withwonder and consternation. The' door to the nextroom was open, and three men were moving in anupright piano.I had come to regard the top· floor as my specialproperty. The other room had been occupied fromtime to time, but as the stairs were steep and long Iusually reigned supreme on the top landing. Thesight of the piano worried me and, two days later,when a modest sign bearing the words "Miss Grey"Music Lessons" appeared on the intruder's door, myworst fears were confirmed. Shortly after I metMiss Grey in the hall. She was young, scarcelytwenty-five; her face was neither pretty nor plain,and I should never have looked at it twice had' it notbeen for the eyes, large, violet eyes that were intenseenough to make up for the entire passivity of herform and expression.How she got her scholars I never knew, but withina week sounds of finger exercises and scales began tocome through the door between our rooms,-a doorwhich had never been opened since I had been in thehouse, and which, till those scales began to creepthrough the cracks, I had hardly noticed. Beforelong, however, other sounds came through. In theevening, when the pupils had gone, and the soft roseand grey tints were folding about the roofs and tilesoutside, Miss Grey would play; playas I have neverheard anyone play since, play till the night had 'fallenand the stars peeped in to find me sitting with idlehands, listening; play till her own passive self foundutterance.Little by little I came fully to believe that thattwilight music expressed the inner life of my neigh­bor. When the Spring Song rippled from her fingersI fel t she was glad, and when the old Scotch airs creptwailing forth I knew she was lonely, and I longed tocomfort her. She lifted me with her to adoration onthe wings of Mascagui's Intermezo, or saddened mewith touching bits from Tannhauser. I grew to lookforward to my daily concert, and to feel defrauded ifby any chance I missed it; I came to love the silentgirl,and, though I had never spoken to her, to feel asif she had confided in me. VOL. II, NO. 21.One evening late in December I missed my con­cert. I could hear Miss Grey walking back and forthin the next room, but her steps never paused by thepiano, and at last despairing of my esat I lighted mylamp and settled myself to some sewing. Becominginterested, I forgot the time, and when at last I lookedat my watch the hands pointed to eleven. It was abright moonlight night, and the silvery light on thedark roofs and the river beyond formed such a picturethat I blew out my lamp and seated myself by thewindow to take in the calm beauty of the scene.Suddeniy I heard a few soft notes from the pianoin the next room, then through the stillness of thenight came the solemn notes of Chopin's "FuneralMarch." Often before, in brightly lighted concerthalls, had I trembled at its intensity, but here in thenight and surrounding silence it was terrible. Myfirst impulse was in some way to stop it, but then Ipaused and became charmed by its sombre and dread­ful sadness. A few scudding clouds hurried acrossthe moon and cast their shadows on the snow coveredroofs; far off a dog barked once, and the sound servedto emphasize the stillness about us. We two seemedalone in some' immeasurable expase. . Alone withthat music which chilled the blood and made theheart stop beating.I did not move till the final chord had died away,and then I rose, longing to go to her, to find somecompanion to scare away the fearful loneliness themarch had woven round me, but my common sensesoon came to me, and arguing that if my neighborchose to practice such dism·al airs at midnight it wasnone of my affairs, I went to bed.The following day I did not see Miss Grey, northe next, nor the next; no sound from the piano camethrough the intervening door, and at last the fearthat she was ill took possession' of me. One morn­ing after breakfast I stopped our landlady and, askedher, "Is Miss Grey ill? I have not seen her forseveral day." " Ill! no, she's gone, she left on Wed­nesday," and 'Mrs. Brent hurried past on her way tothe kitchen.* * * *All this was years ago, and I still room on the topfloor. Strangely enough the adjoining room hasnever since been rented, nor have I lost my awe of it.Sometimes when I wake to see the clouds scuddingpast the moon as they did that night, I seem to hear2 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.the notes of the funeral march, and my fancy wandersoff, trying to pierce the mystery and follow to theend my little neighbor with the intense eyes andwonderful genius.McKinley at the University.The stars and stripes floated proudly from thetower of Kent Laboratory last Thursday, and whenthe hour of eleven struck, within the pretty theatreof the recently-opened building, a large crowd of stu­dents and faculty had assembled. The appearanceof Governor McKinley, accompanied by PresidentHarper and Rev. Dr. Crandall, was the signal forloud cheering, which continued until the gentlemenhad taken their seats on the platform. GovernorMcKinley acknowledged the honor by bowing andsmiling as the thrilling college yell rang through theroom. At last the cheering ceased, and the patrioticaudience gave vent to its enthusiasm in singing, 'America. "Dr. Harper then introduced Governor McKinley,saying:The basis of true patriotic feeling is, of course,intelligence. Without any question, the intelligenceof the citizens of our country must have its hope, sofar as the cultivation of it is concerned, in the schoolsystem of our country, if we may be said to have aschool system. The character of this school systemhas always been determined by the work and by thespirit of the universities. It is very appropriate,therefore, that on this day we, as a u nivers ity; shouldcelebrate, that we should make every legitimate effortto cultivate here the spirit of patriotism. And it is asincere pleasure to be able to present to you thismorning one, certainly, of the most illustrious citizensof our great country. You will appreciate the factthat he must speak to-day three times. and you willjoin with me in expression of our appreciation of hiscourtesy and kindness in consenting to thus addressus this morning. Governor McKinley will nowaddress us.Loud applause greeted the governor on nsmg tospeak. He did not attempt any flights of oratory.It was a happy talk full of wisdom and common sense,and the students showed their appreciation by repeatedoutbursts of applause. Governor 1fcKinley said:Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: It givesme sincere pleasure to meet with the faculty and thestudents of the University of Chicago, at once almostthe youngest and yet one of the greatest universitiesin our country. We have never quite forgiven Dr.Harper for having left Ohio, but our regret is some­what lessened when we reflect that the whole countrynow has his splendid culture and his wide experienceas a teacher. But the truth is there is a good deal ofOhio in the U .oiversity. [Laughter and applause].I doubt very much if you would ever have had it if ithac! not been for the Ohio man. [Applause]. The day as suggested by your president is sug­gestive of the government and of its early history.There is no country in the world, where so muchdepends upon the people as here in the United States.Here the people are supreme, and the popular willwhen once spoken changes policies and measures andadministrations. It is -therefore all the more impor­tant that the citizenship which controls this countryshould be an educated citizenship. They say sneer­ingly that here we count heads. True, we do coun theads, but we count brains also, and the averagesense of 63,000,000 of free people is safer and wiserand better than the sense of anyone born of nobilityor possessing sovereign ty by inheritance. [ A p­plause.]There is no country In the world· that presentssuch magnificent opportunities to the people as wehave here. There is nothing that is not within reac�of the honest and industrious and educated youngman. There is no station to which he cannot aspire,there is no goal in human affairs that he cannot reachif he has the requisite intelligence and what is equallyimportant, the requisite character. For after all, nomatter how much we know if we have not a good con­science, void of offense, we have not .the essentialequipment for success. [Loud applause:']This government has never done so well as ithas professed, that is, it has never lived up to itsprinciples. Individuals, like nations, rarely evermeasure upon to their purposes or their opportun­ties or their declared principles; but it is always wellto have an ideal before us, and if we cannot realizeall of it at once, we will be constantly approachingtoward it, and that ideal will always be a monitor toguide us.The Declaration- of Independence, which soundedthe voice of literary to all mankind, was in advanceof the thought of the great body of the people, andyet it stirred in the hearts and consciences of thecolonists the feeling for independence and self-gov­ernment that at last made a republic, that has livedfor more than 100 years, and which to-day more thanany other government on earth represents the hopeand the future of mankind, and it is that government,young gentlemen, that it is your business to keep andpreserve.The real secret of getting on in this world is' theknowing of something, or some things, better thananybody else knows them, and the man who posses­ses that superior knowledge, no matter what profes­sion he may enter, no matter what calling hemay choose, that man is bound to succeed. Andwith the splendid opportunities furnished by a U11l­versity of this character and other universities allover the country, there is no reason why young menof the present generation should not far surpass themen of a past generation.I remember with pride, as you will recall with) UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKL v,pride and pleasure, wh-et splendid possibilities havebeen present in this country of ours and what hasbeen realized by young men in this country-youngmen not favored by fortune, young men who wereborn amid opulent surroundings, but the poor youngmen of this country are the hope of this country,because they have got the spur of necessity. Wehave got so many magnificent examples, Lincoln andGarfield for instance, and I never speak of these twonames without recalling that eulogy paid to Lincolnby hif . successor, General Garfield, in the Congressof the United States when he closed with these words:"Divinely gifted man,Whose birth in low estate began,And on the simple village green,Who broke through birth's indivious barsAnd grasped the skirts of happy chance,And braved the blows of circumstance,Andgrappled with his evil starAnd made by force his merit known;And lived to clutch the golden keysWhich made a mighty State's decrees,And mounting up from high to higher,Became on fortune's crowning slopeThe pillar of the people's hope,The center of the world's desire."I am glad, ladies and gentlemen, to meet you, andwish for all, individually and collectively, the great­est success, and the realization-the full realization-of all the hopes of your young manhood and youngwomanhood. [Loud applause. ]The doxology was then sung by the audience, andRev. Dr. Crandall pronounced the benediction. Atthe close many of the students gathered around thegovernor and ga_.ve him d hearty hand-shake. Theywere presented to him by Dr. Harper, as were alsothe mem bers of the faculty presen t.First Annual Washington Ball."And educations center there had gatheredHer beauty and her chivalry and brightThe lamps shone o'er fair women and brave men,And sixty hearts beat happily; and whenMusic arose with voluptions swell,Soft eyes looked love to eyes which spake again,And all went merry as a marriage bell ."If the immortal Byron had lived to lived to floatthrough the mazes of the waltz at the Washingtonbirthday ball of Feb. z r st, he wouid have thoughtlong before sending out those verses for fear that hehad not done the affair justice. To picture the eventperfectly would require the skill of a Messonier. Toan amateur it is an impossible task. As the WEEKLYannounced in the last issue the party was a suceess.At 8:30 o'clock the parlors on the first floor of theBarry were ablaze with light, and \ when at 8:45 themarch musee of Johnny Hand's orchestra floated infrom the ball room, the following company hadassembled: Messrs. and Mesdames-Harry Pratt1Judson, Thomas C.

But "all good things must have an end,"and with the gray and gloomy pile of scholarly Uni­versi ty buildings frowning down upon the brilliantly­lighted hotel verandas, the tired but happy dancerstook their leave of music and mirth. And thus thefirst annual Washington birthday ball was ended.To Messrs. Webster and Caraway is due the successof the party. Their skillful managemen t earned theprai,se of all who attended. L,Burgler Lund, captured by divinity students a fortnight ago, is undoubtedly the perpetrator of the long'chain of thefts which have taken place at the U niver­sity. Several students who were victims of robberies,have been fortunate in recovering their stolen prop­erty at his store-room on State street. Suspicion longdirected toward domestics, has been placed withwarrant on Lund.

The attempts tomake distinctively University dancing parties pop­ular last year were far from successful, and manym o n ths have passed this year without there havingbeen found anyone brave enough to undertake theresponsibility of inaugurating a series of parties. Ithas been said that the' faculty disapprove of dancing parties. This objection has been dissipated bythe presence of the president of the University, thede a n s of the colleges and several professors at theWashington ball. President Harper has suggestedthat the Washington's birthday party be made aregular annual affair, and the students have deter­mined to carry out his suggestion. Other under­graduate parties should be arranged that a bettersocial feeling 'may be fostered among the students.** *INa recent number of the WEEKLY on unintentionalinjustice was done to the authorities of theUniversity. The statement was made that the ordi­nary locks furnished by the University were no pro­tection against' burglars, and students were advisedto bolt and bar their. doors. It is found, however,upon investigation, that the University locks are thevery-best made, the finest quality of Yale locks, whichhave never ) et been picked. It is a further factthat none of the recent burg laries haue occurred ina room,' the door of which was locked. If a dormi- tory door is locked, no burglar can open it withoutan axe or battering-ram, or both .. If a student neg­lects to lock his door when leaving his room, hemust not be surprised, in these tramp-infested dis­tricts, and in these hard times, to find, upon hisreturn, that he has been "plucked." The Universityis working diligently to suppress thievery, but itmust have the co-pei ation of tho occupants of therooms in order to be successful.** *$ ·752.50 "C URRENT TOPICS" has been succeeded bya new magazine bearing the name, theCiucag» Magazine of Current Topics. The first num­ber that has appeared under the new managementshows a decided falling-off in point of good taste andliterary tone. There is a new cover, terrible withred ink in horizontal and vertical lines of sensa­tional announcements; at one side of the pageappears a caricature of the feminine figure familiarto readers of the inter Ocean, her arms are akim boin true bridget style, and her feet, like Napoleon'sin Browning's poem, are distinctly "wide." Weunderstand that Mr. Lewis, formerly editor of CZt1T�lltTopics, has forbidden the new management to adver­tise as contributors those University of Chicagoprofessors and students, who permitted their names tobe used by the former management. Mr. Wever, thepublisher of 'Current Topics, is in no way connectedwith the new venture.** *COLLEGE journals will soon be compelled topay an exorbitant rate for postage. A recentruling of the post-office department fixes the rate ofpostage that such publications must pay at from tento sixteen times as much as other newspapers.That the postal authorities should be so blinded isincomprehens.iple, especially to managers of collegepapers. The revenue of such journals is so smallthat a new item of expense is most unwelcome, andis looked upon by editors with dismay. It is, indeed,strange that the wiseacres in Washington see fit tolay a further tax upon journals, which are admittedly?f good influence upon any community, while filthyand degrading sheets like the red tinted, so-calledpolice journals of our large cities are permittedtransmission through the mails at the regular rates.Sensational story papers, vile and indecent novelsand sporting publications are now accorded a PrIVI­lege denied educational journals. Truly the legis-UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.lators who control the destiny of the great postalsystem of the United States, incapable of commit­ting error, as they are supposed to be, have shownthemselves valiant protectors of the cause of educa­tion.** '*THE athletic and musical entertainment last weekwas well attended, and on the whole was credit­able to the performers. However, while the horseplay in the last number may have been highlyamusing to the high school children present, it wasrather tiresome to the majority of the audience whodid not expect to be treated to a comic pantomine.The actions of certain performers were not as theysupposed funny, and it would require a vivid imag­ination or a weak mind to find them so. If the mem­bers given over to the gymnastic stars had beenproperly cared for by the leader the entertainmentwould have been more dignified and more worthy ofuniversity students. The silly exhibition of sparring,boxing and fencing might have been expected in lowgrade grammar school" athletic ," show but was outof place in the exercises Thursday.* ""'*There may be an excuse for the divinity studentwho exercise in the physical culture classes at thegymnasium, not to wear "gymn,asium clothes."But for these young gentlemen to do work in thedrills wearing heavy soled shoes, to execute horizon­tal bar with the conventional clerical cravat and collar,and to do a turn on the traveling rings with a' lightsilk hat on the theological head, as one was seen theother day, would almost seem an evidence of thebelief in that head that the divine character of thefuture minister of the gospel rests solely on hishabitual association with that ministerial costume.* **THE date of the Glee Club concert has beenchanged from March 8 to Tuesday, March 6.Tickets should be obtained at once.The Glee Club Concert.The first annual concert of the University of Chi­cago Glee and Serenade Clubs will be given in theCentral Music Hall, Tuesday evening March 6, at 8o'clock, instead of Thursday evening March 8 as pre­viously announced. This change of date is necessaryon account of the Apollo Club concert which occursat the Auditorium March 8.May it not be hoped that every member of theUniversity will be present to greet the clubs at thistl.eir initial concert? The Alumni of the University are arranging to itsin a body. Might not the various divisions of theUniversity adopt this plan including our .acaderny atMorgan Park? Shall not every member and friendof the University express their university spirit- bywearing the University colors? It is expected thatthis concert will be a society as well as a musicalevent. Among the patronesses are: Mesdames­P. D. Armour, George E. Adams, C. R. G. Billings,John M. Clark, J. W. Chalmers, John Coonley, WirtDexter" J. J. Glessner, Charles D, Hamill, WilliamR.

If the University of Chicago Glee Club con­certs are to take rank with those given by clubs frornolder institutions why not let us beg in now, andmake this first concert a great success both musicallyand socially?Tickets will be on sale at the Central Music Hallbox office on and after March 1St. University peoplesho�ld secure their tickets as early as possible.The Athletic Entertaiment.The athletic talent of the University was on dressparade last Thursday afternoon, and the way in whichit drilled, tumbled, fenced, bozed and wrestled itselfinto the popular notice of the some - two hundredenthusistic students gathered at the Kent Auditoriumto watch the performance, was certainly most gratify­ing to the athletic management. The program,although somewhat too long, was thoroughly inter­esting throughout, and the whole affair went off insplendid order.The Mandolin Club, with two pieces "Chao" and"The Coon-town Musketeers," came first upon theprogram, and were met with an enthusiastic recep­tion by the audience that augured well for its futuretriumphs. The second number on the program was"Songs" by the Glee Club," "My Darling Flo" and"The Wild Man of Borneo" being given in the regu­lation college glee club style and well meriting therounds of applause that followed the songs:Mr. Raycroft's class in gymnastic exercis provedto be the best class drill of the afternoon and wasloudly applauded.The original and very witty' 'investigation of theplagiarism of George Washington," conducted orrather recited in dialect by Prof. Clark was so highlyappreciated that Mr. Clark was compelled to respondto an encore and gave' 'In the Usual Way.""Dancing Steps," in which Messrs. Bond, Chace,Wolff and Smith took part, was a revelation in moreways than one, and proved to be a decided hit. TheGlee Club, with Mr. Stagg as soloist, then gave6 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY. ,/"Don't you hear them bells?" singing as encores"Sing, Brothers, Sing," and "The History of theFlood," which were received with great applause.The tum bling and athletic fun which followed theglees, was very interesting, but too long drawn out.Mr. Raycroft and Mr. Butterworth led the tumbling,and Messrs. Behan, Ramsey, Vaughn, Chace, Bondand Steigmeyer were the especially brilliant lights ofthe company. Mr. Steigmeyer as clown was quiteclever with his tricks and horse-play, and made a hitwith an original song composed to the tune of"Daisy," the chorus of which was:"John D. Rockefeller, wonderful man is he!Spends all his spare change on the U. of C.He keeps the ball a-rolling in this great 'Varsity;He pays Mr. Harper, who helps us grow smarterTo the glory of U of C." .The entertainment closed with the old gym. cry,"Thanks for the day, comrades!" to which everyoneanswered "Hoo ray! Hoo ray!" and the show wasover.Alumni Notes.We are glad to see an interest among the Alumniin University matters. Quite a large number werein attendance at the exercises of the 22d, both in themorning and afternoon.Some from out of the city, who had not visitedthe University before, spent several hours in lookingthrough the buildings and grounds, and were highlypl e ased with what they saw, and very much surprisedat the progress made in so short a time.I t is hoped that a large number of the Alumniand their friends will still further show their interestby attending the FIRST annual concert of the Gleeand Serenade clubs to, he given in Central Music Hallon the evening of March Sth.Section E, containing about ninety seats in theparquet circle, has been reserved for the' Alumni andtheir friends and placed in charge of E.

A very busy happy hour was spent in noting the wrinkles and gray hairs thathad begun to be conspicuous since the last meeting,and then all adjourned to the banquet hall above,where a substantial dinner was disposed of amid muchmirth and reminiscence. At the guest table, besidesPresident and Mrs. Jayne, were noticed Presidentand Mrs. Harper,· Rev. Galusha Anderson and hisdaughter, Mrs. Owen, Prof. and Mrs. Charles R.Henderson and Prof. S. H. Clark. President Har­per spoke of his warm interest in the matter of theamalgamation of the old and the new, and of the needsand promises for the University of Chicago for thefuture. Theron B. Pray spoke of the "Silver Jubi­lee" of the class of '69, of which several memberswere present. "Honest John" Hopkins, of 'SI,brought down the house with some clever hits onthe new order of things and the stories of Genesis.He said he glorified in the fact that he belonged tothe old dispensation, Grace Reed, 'S4, elaborated"J ericho Roses" into a pretty, pointed discourse,highly enjoyed by her hearers. Mr. Milligan, '93,alumnus jUl entissim us, told of the interest of the newin the affairs of the old, and promised to help forgetthe seven years in which the University of Chicagowas only a memory and a promise. A. J. Fisher, '76,was too ill to be presen t, but sen t a copy of the mainpoints of his speech to be re ad by Secretary Buzzell.He recalled many amusing reminiscences of life inthe dormitories in days of yore. Dr. Lucy Waite,'So, ably assisted by side remarks from F. W. C. Hayes,regaled the audience with a philosophical disquisi­tion on "Man, His Past, Present and Future." T.M. Hammond, 'S5, had oiled up the machine for theoccasion, and carried his hearers back to the daysof the eighties with some of his jingling verses, tell­ing the glorjps of the old University as contrastedwith the all-pervading glory of the new. This, witha rousing college song, concluded the exercises, andthe Al u m ni wen t home feeling tolerably well cementedunto the great new Alma Mater, and hoping thatthey might become more and more so with each su c­ceding year.President Harper's Lecture.Presiden t Harper's lecture in Kent Auditoriumlast Sunday afternoon on the Deluge in other liter­atures and in History was substantially as follows:The lecture was a continuation of the variousaccounts of the deluge, sacred and profane, and wassuggestive of their probable interpretation as viewedin the light of the most approved thought and as seenin the results of modern scholarship. The lecturerecounted the fortunes of Noah as given in the priestlyand prophetic accounts and the stories as given inancient literatures. He continued in substance:Noah, we learn in the Hebrew narrative, was a justman in his generation. He walked with God. Thismeant that he was a righteous man among his con) UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY. 7tem poraries. Not that he was perfect, for the narra­tive itself shows that he was far from being perfect.But he was a pious man and walkeri. with God just asdid Enoch before him. The times in which Noahlived are clearly described, and the description isrepeated three or four times. He lived in a period ofthe world's history when the earth was corrupt. Sometell us that the climax of all this wickedness was foundin the coming down to the earth of angels, the birthof giants, and the corruption and degradation whichit entailed. God's judgment on account of thesetimes is decreed, and man must die. The earth andmen upon the earth are to be destroyed.In Noah's 600th year the deluge comes, partlyfrom subterranean and partly from celestial sources.The ark in the He brew story is not a ship. It has nosails, no oars. The word translated from the originalmeans a chest. It was something intended to Boat.In the Assyrian story the structure is built on themaritime plan. The material of which the ark wascomposed was the material out of which the Atheniansmade coffins and the m at.er ial the Egyptians used inthe structure of mummy cases. The exact dimensionsare given,' and it is stated that the ark reaches aheight of fifteen cubits above the highest mountains.In 1614 a dutchman by the name of Johnson built aship of the dimensons of the ark, but found it was aship, if it may be called such, that made no progress,'a l though possessing great carrying power. Some­thing is told us abou t the light and the inside arrange­ment of the ark in the Hebrew story. It had a win­dow system, and was made so that the windows couldbe closed. But we are in great doubt, after all, as towhat this window system was. Comme n ta tors differin the description of it. Delitzsch's window systemextends along every side of the ark, and is only inter­rupted by the rafters of th ; roof. We do know thatthere were three stories to the ark. Some commen­tators urge that the structure grew gradually morenarrow in the upper story, and that a precious stoneillumined, by the rays of light transmitted through it,the entire interior. There is some difference ofopinion as to whether the system of architecture wascircular or square.Who is to be saved according to the Hebrew nar­rative? Everything in all the earth must die butNoah and his family and a pair of every kind of ani­mals, in order to preserve life upon the earth.But let us take up the argument according to thedimensions, and let us raise the question which heresuggests itself, Was it possible to put all that isreferred to in the Hebrew story inside of a structureof these dimensions when we remember that therewere nearly 20,000 kinds of mammals, 10,000 speciesof birds, reptiles, etc., and there were insects bythe tens of thousands, and when we calculate theimmense amount of food necessary to their subsist­ence, and when w� rernern ber, too, that many of these animals were by the nature dependent upon otheranimals for food. Then, again, there must have beenattendants to prepare this food and care for the ani­mals. Then, again the question arises, Was thedeluge universal? If the deluge was universal therewould result the death of many living things in theark. Certain marine animals. must live at a "certaindepth. Noah takes no marine animals into the ark,yet if the waters cover the entire earth the presenceof salt water would mean the death of myriads offresh water creatures.The best authority supports the opinion that thedeluge was not universal; that perhaps it coveredonly the Valley of the Euphrates, or at least suchportion of the earth as was inhabited by man. Dr.Harper explained the seeming inconsistences of theark story on the ground of the local nature of theflood, and the use by the Hebrew writers of termsand ilustrations quite foreign to modern interpreta­tion. Dr. Harper reviewed in detail the Chaldean,Aramaean, Sanskrit, Persian, Greek, and later storiesof the deluge, and showed that in many of theseaccounts the similarities were sufficiently striking towarrant the asertion that the deluge in essence wasa historical fact.Regarding the rainbow Dr. Harper said there isno question as to its existence prior to the time itwas given as a token to Noah that God would notagain destroy the earth. It was simply a beautif.ulstory, and was used to illustrate a great truth. Thepresence of the rainbow, caused by the reflection ofthe light upon the waters of the Bood, was an objec­tion lesson so near to the Hebrew people that theprophetic writer availed himself of it. The rainbowis formed by the shedding of light upon the waterswhich had hitherto covered the earth. The easymetaphor of representing love by light, and desola­tion and des truction of floods is a sufficient explana­tion of the rainbow as used by the prophet.Dr. Harper dwelt at length upon the Chaldeanstory according to the cuneiform inscriptions dis­covered by George Smith and reported in the LondonDai�v News of Dec. 5, 1872. He also dwelt upon thecurse of Ham, and the rise of the sons of Shem toreligious and the sons of J apheth to political promi­nence. This is one of the most significant facts inhistory, the lecturer claimed, as showing the diviniyof- the stories of Genesis.The Contest.The SIX orators for the local oratorical contesthave been chosen. Eleven entered the competition,and the judges, Professor Butler, Lewis and Good­speed all agreed on the six selected The fortun ateones are: Atwood, F. D. Barnes, S. D. Barnes, Hoxie,Lake and Pierce.8 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Prohibition Club Contest.The Prohibition Club contest in oratory was heldin the chapel of Cobb Hall Friday night. It was wonby H. Hanson, Princeton '91. The second place wasgiven to J. Howard Moore, of Kansas. The chapelwas nearly filled. Mr. Hanson's oration was on "TheBallot's Function." It was a strong argument infavor of a democracy as opposed to an aristocracy,and a plea for the purity of the ballot.The subject of Mr. Moore's oration was "TheScourge of the Republic." This, in his mind, wasthe merchantable character of public office. Theother speakers were P. J. Dickerson, who spoke on"The Value of a Prohibition Vote;" and George R.Kirkpatrick on "The Genesis and Guaranties of Ameri­can Popular Government." The latter made a mostfavorable impression. The judges were Walter Thom­as Mills, Rev J. S. Hughes and Professor William D.McClintock. Ex-Goxernor St. John was present andhis brief remarks were listened to with interest by thelarge audience.Tennis Tournament.Three graceful silver cups are the prizes in thewinter tennis tournament which began Saturday onthe gymnasium court, with the following allotmentof players:Singles--Hewitt with McGillivray, winner with Torrey; Triggswith Ramsey, winner with Neel; Allen with Ickis, Dudley withManchester, Farr with Neff, Thatcher with Caraway, Prescottwith Newby, Cutting with Lansingh.Doubles-Newby and Neff with Rand and Bond, winners withIckis and Adkinson; Neel and Prescott with Manchester and Tor­rey; winners with Campbell and Ramsey.The tournament will continue into March, the bulkof the games being played on Mondays and Saturdays.N eel, who defeated Sam Chace and played in thefinal with Hovey last year, is slightly lame from afootball mishap, but is conceded the chances for twoof the cups. Prescott stands a fair show for the other.There are to be no second prizes; one of the cups isfor the winner of singles, the other two for the winnersof the doubles. A gold medal is to be awarded Pres­cott for the U niversi ty championship in tennis for1802-93.

President Elliot of Harvard, demands the exclu­sion of freshmen from intercollegiate contests; theconfinement of all games to college grounds; the ex­clusion from all intercollegiate contests of professionalstudents; the revision of football rules to obviateviolent collisions, and the prevention of intercollegi­ate contests in anyone sport in any two consecutiveyears.Other college presidents than President Eliot, ofHarvard, are considering the imminent question ofreforms in athletics, but not all are ready to formulatetheir views just at present. President Dwight, ofYale, declines to be interviewed on the matter. TheYale faculty, however, have had the subject underconsideration. President Patton, of Princeton, favorssome modifications of the rules; President Raymond,of Wesleyan, favors the general principles of Presi­dent Eliot's position. The committee governingathletics at the University of Pennsylvania, has laiddown some uew rules designed to exclude professionism, and confine sports to students who pursue themas incidental to, rather than the purpose of their col­lege course.-Inter- Ocean.Mandolin Club.The University Mandolin Club, under tb e direc­tion of Sig.
