RADFORD.EF you war a colt, Ca'line, I mout manage you,but bein' my daughter, seems like I caint tell, whut to do with you. 'All'ys out doors, an'never about when your maw needs you to he'p her.Ther ain't another girl in the mountains acts likeyou."The mountaineer looked in a considering, puz-,zled way at Caroline, and Caroline looked back de­murely at him. He was tall and of that long,loose-jointed shambling build, which somehow,al ways seems associated wlth unsuspecting good-na­ture and easiness. She was a little thing, with eyesas clear as the shadowed brook that flowed near by,and cheeks as pink as the mountain ivy she held inher hand. Her faded calico gown sat quakerishlyupon her slim figure, but refused to cover her pret­ty bare ankles and feet. Her cloudy chestnut hairwas covered by a sun-bonnet so 'deep that her fath­er had to look down a long lane, as it were, to seeher face."It ar onreasonable," he went on, "for you totreat Jim Woods the way you do, an him so stiddy,an 'his farm nex ou r'n. Other girls' d jump at thechance-of havin Jim. You aint like a girl, morelike a ontamed eaglet. An you do go a rompin ana jurnpin an a climbin like you war a boy. Whutshell I do bout you?"Caroline seemed pl unged in deep thought as shestared straight in front of her, chopping one of herfeet restlessly back and forth. •"Whut you studdyin bout Ca'line?" the manasked gently."I war studdyin ef I could'rit jump as fur's youover the crick paw," said Caroline thoughtfully,"want to try? watch me." But her father held her fast."No, you hev to listen Ca'line White! This ahin earnest. Here maw comes, we all '1 talk it over.""Whut ah it about, paw?" asked the bony nar-row woman who had just come up. She was awrinkled, ashy-tinted caricature of Caroline."I be a goin to cure Ca'line of her evil' ways,"said the mountaineer with determination, "an Ireckon maw, we better take her down to chapel ansee ef she caint git 'ligion. Thar's the revival nexweek an they say the new preacher that's a cominah a mighty smart young chap."*This story was awarded first place in the WEEKLY prize story com­petition. "We aint never got her to go to'vival yit,"Mrs. White said dubiously."I dont want 'ligion!" cried the small Caroline,wrathfully, "I ah happy 'thout it. I 'd be sho-noughmis'able ef I hed it.""You aint a talkin sense Ca'line," said herfather gravely.Caroline arched her brown eyebrows fretfully."Tell you whut," he continued coaxingly, "yoube good an go to the re-vival an I '11 carry you toChar'sville, nex time I go, an hev you' photty grafstook. ""Paw!-sho-nough ?""I reckon.""Wal, ef I kin have my phottygraphs took, Ireckon I kin stand one or two meetin's. Yes shuI '11 go.""I want this here to be a conversion wuth havin,"remarked Mr. White, "you hev to be tu'ned fromyou' evil actin an also I want you to be tu'ned toJim Woods, an 'preciateyou' blessin's."Caroline tossed her sunbonnet disdainfully."Throws up her head like a cross heifer!" Mr.White said, exasperated. "Rec'lect thet boy'spawwar the bes' farmer on these mountains.""Wal, paw," put in his wife, pacifically, "shecaint ma'ry Jim on'y cuz his paw knew how to ploughgood. Let her be an mebbe she'll like him.""No ma'am!" said Caroline emphatically. "I '11go to the 'vi val but I '11 not ma'ry Jim, not ef pawhed my phottygrafs took twice!" And shaking her­self free from her father's hand, she leaped over the"creek" and disappeared in the woods beyond.Mr. White sighed. He was like his own Vir-ginia mountains, rugged and simple, and great­hearted. But utterly tactless. If his motives hadnot all been on the surface, he might easily haveguided ignorant Caroline, as to the bestowal of herheart. Nature, however, had taught him her ownhonesty, and there was no guile in him.Still, he was very glad that the girl had at leastconsented to go to the revival, and he looked for­ward with hope to the results of her promise.So, on the first night of the meetings, Caroline,with all of her finery crowded upon her limited per­son, set off wi th her parents to the chapel, they be­ing devout and serious, she, gloomy and resigned.The chapel was a little white building, cuddled2 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY"in a group of trees. The dim light streaming fromthe windows, the silence amid the heavy trees, themurmur of a stream close by, and the far-off call ofa "bob-white, "-all affected the thoughtless Caro­line with a half wistful solemnity. It was the firsttime she had ever been to the chapel by night.When they entered it was nearly time for serviceto begin. The place was almost full. The church­members wore a grave contented air; the youngpeople who felt that they were in need of conver­sion, looked worried, anxious, hopeful, or despond­ent according to their several dispositions.Caroline took her place near the front of thechapel with some young girls of her own age, whileMr. and Mrs. White seated themselves in the backof the building.The organ was locked, as some of the oldermembers preferred revival hymns to be sung with­out the accompaniment of instrumental music.For a time there was silence, broken only by therustling movements of dresses, or the foot steps of peo­ple entering. Suddenly a white haired man startedup a weird, broad voweled hymn, and the othersjoined in. It was wild, beautiful music, and stirredCaroline's restless soul. She felt that if she wereonly out in the woods alone, she could sing that asshe had never sung before.Then the preacher went upon the platform. Hewas of these people, with some education, to besure, but he had been born among mountaineers,and was as earnest and true as they. He spokefull from his heart, telling the story two thousandyears old, that had brought rest to thousands ofhearts, and yet was uninteresting to so many. Hespoke of the peace he had found, and begged hishearers to take it unto themselves.As Caroline gazed at his restful face, she thoughtthat a peace which made one look as happy as hedid, was worth having. She wondered if it werebetter than the wild joy she took in the woods.After all, was this wild joy satisfactory, was it? Thequestion had never come to her before.Among the group of intent girls he saw herwistful, startled face. He redoubled his appeals."He ah a talkin' to me-to me-to me!" criedCaroline fiercely to herself. "I aint a goin to listen.I aint! I aint!"A t the end the preacher asked all those whowished to lead a new life to stand up, and come tothe platform. Several young people rose, but Car­oline sat still. He sought her out afterwards, andtalked to her. She was afraid he would make re­ligion the subject of his conversation, but he nevermentioned that.Caroline was very silent on the homeward way.To her father's delight she allowed Jim Woods toaccompany her. The good mountaineer began tohope that his daughter was early on the high road to the double conversion he desired for her.The next morning Caroline woke up determined todo .away with the effects which the chapelservice of the previous night had left upon hermind. She hastened into her beloved woods,and ran through the grass picking flowers, andwinding . them into chains. But her step wasnot as light as usual, and she would catch herselfthinking of that beautiful hymn, and the words ofthe earnest preacher."Mebbe I ought to git that peace he talked of,"she thought. And still =something within her ob­stinate little heart fought at the notion of yieldingto his persuasions."He's spiled mywoods!"she cried. "He's spiledmy woods fur me an' I aint a goin to give in."A t night, and for several nights she attended themeetings in the chapel. The leader was more elo­quent than ever. Many of her friends were givingway to the influence of his words. But somethingstill held Caroline back. It gave her pain to feelmore and more every day that her outdoor life wasnot enough to satisfy her. The preacher spoke toher sometimes, and although he-never asked her tojoin her friends in their new steps, yet she felt thathis motive, directly or indirectly, was to converther, and she resented it.It was the very last one of the revivals, beforeCaroline, white-faced and trembling, finally yield­ed, and took her place on the platform. She wasthe only one to come that night, but somehow thepreacher felt as he shook her hand, that she alonewas worth his two weeks patient pleading.Great was the rejoicing in the White house­hold."Ca'line," said her father joyfully, "you canha ve a dozen phottygrafs stead of half-dozen.You dont re'lize what comfort you'll get out of 'lig­ion. I know you'll all'ys be good girl now, an' he'pyou' maw right smart more'n you hev." Courseshe will." Maw said.And she did. She was more thoughtful, morewomanly in every way. As the days went on itseemed to her that years divided her past life fromthe life she had led since she attended the revivals."But I aint sat'sfied," grumbled Mr. White tohis wife. "Ca'line is right smart better'n she was.Sho 'nough, she got 'ligion maw, but she aint agittin' tu'ncd to Jim like I wanted. Sometimes Ithink she hes too much 'ligion, the way she an' thepreacher ah a talkin' ev'y chance they git. Whutah the use of him a talkin' to her when she aha'ready converted; an a takin' up her spar' time whenJim mout be with her.""Wal, paw-""You know, maw, how his paw wer the bes' far­mer on the mountain, an she ought to be perlite toJim, 'stead of actin' so mighty mean. He tol' meUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.on'y yist'day she war a gittin' so purty thar wa' nta girl here to come nigh her.""Well paw!" maw remarked emphatically, "I ahmighty thankful the Lord did'nt make me a man.Fur a man ah the same as a mole as fur as seein'things goes. It'd seem like you never went a court­in' you' se'f when you war young.""Whut aint I see in'?" demanded Mr. White,"whut things ah thar to see?""Land, paw," laughed his wife, in a complacentway, "Ca'line aint a studyin' such mighty heap''bout 'ligion as you reckon. Course she got it sho'nough, but,-wal, paw, when Ca'line got 'ligion or'bout that time, she got the preacher, too."At the request of several of those present, we publish below the toast de­livered by Mr Theo, M.

I shall not regard the U ni versi ty as completeuntil it shall have a regularly organized departmentof music," said President Harper, after having lis­tened to a violin solo at a recent chapel meeting." And I shall not regard my college (naming a prom­inent western institution) complete until it shallpossess as fine a glee club as that of the U ni versi tyof Chicago," remarked a gray bearded doctor ofphilosophy seated in the parquet of the Music Halllast Tuesday evening. The last song had been sungand the echoes of the Alma Mater were being waft­ed far into the night, but still a crowd lingered inthe aisles and vestibule. "No" the gentleman contin­ued, "I'm an old man but I have been rejuvenatedtonight." And he went away humming softly tohimself the words, "Thinkers, thinkers, thinkersare we."The concert was an unqualified success, and thissuccess has made happy every loyal student of theU. of C. The Glee and Serenade Clubs went toCentral Music Hall last Tuesday night and stoodupon the same stage from which for many years therepresentatives of Harvard, Yale, Amherst and AnnArbor have sung their jolly glees and tender sere­nades. Where the crimson banner of Harvard orthe bl ue pennant of Yale has hung before, the Et­ruscan gold pennant of Chicago was on Tuesdaynight. And where the alumni of the eastern col­leges have sat before, on this memorable night werethe lovers of the new western University. TheClubs went before the large audience unknown.Their fame today is being sung all over the city.The managers had attended to every detail, andwhen the large concourse of music lovers assembledthey found the Hall converted into a veritable gold­en bower. The color of the walls and stage madethis easy and the beautiful banner of Etruscan goldthat hung suspended over the stage set the otherdecorations off to the best possible advantage.Potted plants stood on either side of the stage,while from the boxes the yellow roses and daffodilsin the hands of the fair occupants smiled a greeting,to the young men who were to sound the praises ofthe Chicago orange in gladsome song.At 8: I 5 o'clock almost every seat in the large au­ditorium was filled, and when the Serenade Clubcame out for the first number, a thousand hands ap­plauded. And then in silence the large audienceawaited the music. The soft tinkle of the mando­lins joined with the full rich tones of the guitars, as­cended in Ciao, an inspiring thing of Pirani's.When it was ended the applause was so long andcontinued that the Club was compelled to comeforth again. The Glee Club now appeared, and af­ter waiting for the storm of applause to su bside theysang, "Come Let's Dance and Sing."

For every number anencore was given and responded to. The solo ofMr. Eastman, "Wake Not, But Hear Me Love,"was heartily applauded, the singer being at his best.His powerful and sympathetic voice was well adapt­ed to the tender melody he had selected.Mr. Nichols was also given a recall when hesang "I Arise From Dreams of Thee." The audi­ence fully appreciated the solo work of the twogentlemen. Their responses were equally well re­ceived. The last number before the intermission,"The Foot Ball Song," the words and music ofwhich were written by H. G. Lozier, made a decid­ed hit. The many signals, "seven come eleven,"the cries of "down" and the College yell combined,made it a very effective song which won the heartsof the audience from the start. After the intermis­sion, Alfred Williams sang' 'If I Were a Knight ofthe Olden Time." Mr. Williams has a most beau­tiful 'and highly cultivated voice and the audiencefully appreciat-ed his work. The loud applausewhich followed his number showed how he had im­pressed the crowd. He replied with "The NightHas a Thousand Eyes." The "Three Thinkers," inwhich Messrs. A. Williams, Behan and Lozier ap­peared as "thinking men," was very well done.The Serenade Club accompanied the singers and theaudience applauded uproariously.Alma Mater was the last number on the pro­gram. The words to this delightful song werewritten by Mr. Lewis, of the English department.Lack of space prevents our publishing the newsong in this issue.The program is given below:PROGRAM.PirariiCiao,The Serenade Club.WentworthCome Let's Dance and Sing.The Glee Club.Wake Not, But Hear Me, Love,Mr. Eastman and Glee Club.Schneider's Band.

The WEEKLY does not wantto be drawn into a dispute on the question. Thismagnificent school is the gift of the Baptist Churchto higher education, and our hearts should ever 'befilled with gratitude. But how inconsistent with thefitness of terms to call this a Baptist university(which is willing to incorporate a good Episcopalianor Presbyterian divinity school! The Universityitself does not admit the distinctive appellation.In its register the Baptist church is recognized in ahistorical sketch in so far as its educational societytook steps toward the foundation of the University·That is all. The Baptist Union theological semi­nary was made the divinity school of the universitybut it still remains under the control of a separatebody of regents, namely, the "Baptist Theological tional college, which after all we are told is nothingof the sort? Has a Trojan horse got within thegates?" This is what the Rev. H. L. Morehouse,D. D., of New York asks. Yes, we answer, cour­teously, by the genius of a great modern educatora University of truth has been established which isIn the usual meaning of the word, the University of Chicagois emphatically a Baptist institution; just as Lake Forest Univer­sity is a Presbyterian institution; just as the Northwestern Uni­versity is a Methodist institution; and Yale University, an insti­tution under Congregational auspices.It is admitted that the institutions referred toare under the auspices of different religious denom­ina tions, and each has its faculty selected to a greatextent from the ranks of the church in whose fold itis understood to be. However, while these univer­sities are under the auspices of different religioussects, does the public regard them as denomina­tional insti tutions? We think not. Yale U niver­sity, founded by Congregationalists and having aCongregational divinity school is Congregationalonly in its divinity department. Who ever thinksof Yale as a denominational college? Noone, andfew will think of the U ni versi ty of Chicago as aBaptist institution when its president announcesthat an Episcopalian divinity school would be wel­come as a part of the University.THE NECES.SITY for a well organized andequipped athletic association before the baseball season commences must be apparent to all.During the fall quarter the WEEKLY advocated thefounding of such an organization and publishedseveral articles on the subject from the pens of stu­dents who have had experience with different col­lege athletic clubs. However, the foot ball seasonUnion." There is the religious society of the uni- being then in progress, and the athletic men beingversity, but it is not a Baptist society, not ruled bythe sectarian, the denominational spirit. TheChristian Union is based upon those elements ofreligious faith which are held in common, and aimat work in which' 'all can unite without inconsist­ency with the maintenance of individual religiousconceptions. ""Have Baptists been a lot of fools in their rejoic­ings from the Atlantic to the Pacific over the es­tablishment of what they thought was a denomina- too much occupied, no steps were taken towardcarrying out the plans which were suggested. Nowhowever, steps should be taken at once and the ath­letic association be made a reality. Prospects fora successful athletic year are bright. Candidatesfor the base ball team are many, and it is probablethat a good team will represent us. With a win-,ning team and a strong athletic association therewill be no Jack of enthusiasm and encouragement onthe part of the students. We shall publish next!! UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY. 7week the views of many of our leading athleteson the subject. It can then be seen what the opin­ion is of the men who will be most affected.THE GREEK world in the University hardlygi ves signs of Ii fe. Now that the members ofthree fraternities are initiated into the beauti­ful mysteries, and wear on their breasts the goldentrinket bearing the Hel lenic letters, they seem tothink that all has been done that is necessary.They have as yet taken no active steps toward es­tablishing the future Chapters on a firm basis.Though their inauguration occurred three monthsand more ago, none of them have engaged quartersyet for secret meetings. Whether they will be fra­ternities in the full meaning of the word' to the oldalumnus who loved his fraternity, or whether theywill be simply mutual protective associations inathletics and class elections remains to be develop­ed. One or two of them give indications that theyare organized simply that their members may wearthe proud name of their order, and that they mayhave a monopoly in society and athletics, ratherthan for any congruity of nature or conviviality ofspirit.THE EDITOR is in receipt of a letter. from theU. of M Daily, the students' organ of theUniversity of Michigan, in which the organi­zation of an Inter-Collegiate Debating Associationis referred to the 'attention of Chicago students. Itis planned to incl ude Michigan, Northwestern, Wis­consin and Chicago U ni versi ties in the 1 eague.Michigan students are heartily in favor of the leagueand it is expected that the other universities willgladly join. The advantages of such a union areso many that it seems unnecessary to enumeratethem. Suffice it to say that many of the benefitsaccruing from membership in the debating leaguewill fall to the lot of Chicago. What is needed toincrease the interest of our students is membershipin a lively debating association. Let some steps betaken toward aiding the formation of such a league.A meeting of students should be called immediatelythat the sentiment of the majority may be learned.T HE WEEKLY is unavoidably delayed a dayor two this week owing to a change in print­ers. The managers of the paper are determ­ined to take advantage of its location in Chicago tomake it as nearly perfect, typographically, as theunusual facilities in this city will offer. The many typographical errors in last week's issue were asmortifying to the editors as they were conspicuousto the readers. The printing will hereafter be doneby the John W. Weston Printing House which hasestablished a reputation for promptness, and forturning out none but the best quality of work.NOW IS a good time to observe the familiarcommands of the sign boards planted on everygrass plot on the campus. If you fail to ob­serve the order to Keep off the Grass now there willbe little grass to keep on or off in a few months."Truth crushed to earth will rise again;" at leastso we are told. Grass does not rise with the samerapidity as truth, and it will be a safe plan to letNature work a miracle and make the few bladesw.hich have escaped the tread of student feet, togrow and not try an experiment with the others.THE LOCAL oratorical contest occurs nextWednesday evening, March 14th, in the thea­tre of Kent Hall. A large audience shouldbe present to encourage the speakers.The Beecher Burglary.When can their glory fade?Oh! the bold search they made!Beecher Paragons.Honor the search they made!Honor the Vi'let brigade,­Noble Amazons!- Tennyson 'Jr.Beecher is magnanimous and modest. She glo­ries in the popularity of others, and is loth to speakher own praises, yet she believes that when a deedof valour is accomplished within her walls thereshould be, at least, the piping of a tin whistle, henceI write of a perilous night and the courage of aband of Beecherines.PRELUDE.3 A. M. Dark halls. An awful quiet.angels sweetly sleeping.Sunday morning, February 4, Miss X of Beech­er was waked by hearing a peculiar and insistentnoise in the closet at the end of the hall and adjoin­ing her room. This noise was followed by thesound of soft footsteps passing through the hall,and Miss X, although a reputedly courageousyoung woman, remembering the Foster and Kelleyburglaries, was alarmed. She kept very still forfifteen seconds, although were it not for the palpa­ble anachronism she would have been willing to af­firm that it was fifteen hours. However, she fi­nally gained sufficient courage to move, and witheyes starting from their spheres, knotted and com­bined locks parted, and each particular hair on endFortysity, the parlors were festooned with orange andpresented a gay appearance. Excellent music wasprovided and the dancing was continued until near­ly midnight. The second of the series will be giv­en next Saturday evening.8 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLYQshe tip-toed to the partition door, and by dint ofmuch subdued hallooing waked her neighbor, MissY. Together they approached Miss X's door,opened it ever so slightly, peered out, opened it wi­der, stepped cautiously outside, and looked downthe hall, over their shoulders and around their feet,all being done seemingly at the same instant. Ven­turing to the closet door they repeated the sameprecautionary measures, but in the closet they sawa sight which made even the dauntless Miss Y quail.Miss X's trunk, always carefully closed and gener­ally securely locked was wide open, and investiga­tion revealed the fact that an opal ring and diamondpin had been taken. The loud exclamations ofMisses X and Y upon making this discovery broughtnew recruits, and the whole force, five strong, twoshort and timid looking and two tall and verystraight marched, the foremost with a lamp heldhigh in her hand, to the housekeeper's room. Thehousekeeper could not be roused although they rap­ped hard and called loudly, but on the opposite sideof the hall two doors opened almost simultaneously,two Heads appeared, four sleepy eyes gazed wildlyabout, and two scared voices cried: "Why girls,what is the matter? " This was a signal for MissX to begin a reci tal of her story, but in the midst ofit one of the Heads, unable any longer to restrainher outraged feelings seized the lamp and with bloodin her eye, started up the stairway. Others follow­ed at a respectful distance, while the doughty Headexplored dark rooms and closets, looked down fire­escapes and behind big boxes. No burglars beingfound, somebody whispered that he might be in theattic, but the attic, so dark and still and full of hid­den nooks and ghostly shadows where even the bra­vest would not venture in daylight, could they,dare they go there?At its mention the Head blanched slightly, thenmounting the narrow stairs with her followers be­hind (they never forgetting the distance betweenthem and their honorable Head,) she went up, upto the very door, pulled it back on its creaking hin­ges and stepped inside. The burglar was not there;nobody supposed he would be; and yet who willsay that in the galaxy of fame, close beside theGraduate heroes, there should not be a place forthe Beecher heroines?I might add that later, a big, bold man was cal­led in who found an open window in the basementthrough which the burglar had escaped. E. D.Satu.rday Evening Parties.The proprietors of the Hotel Barry have com­menced a series of Saturday evening parties in hon­or of the guests ofthe hotel.

Itis interesting to note that the Buddhist's views onthe Veda correspond in general to those of Dr.Harper and the Bible in that the Buddhist and Dr.Harper both belong to the school which accepts thespirit rather than the letter of their sacred writings.-Sunday Herald. .The contestants in the oratorical meeting to beheld March 14th, as was announced last week, havebeen chosen. The subjects and speakers are asfollows:"American.""Froebel. ""Lincoln. " H. F. Atwood.J. F. Hosie.E. M. Lake."Patriot." E. V. Pierce."Publius." S. D. Barnes."Robert Collier." Fred Barnes..Without doubt the contest will be exciting.The contestants are all able orators, and will strivehard for the honor of representing the University inthe Northern Oratorical Contest to be held in Mad­ison in April.Professor Butler went to St. Charles, Ill., Sa­turday, to speak before a committee of citizens inregard to organizing university extension work. Itis likely that much of the activity in the universityextension department this spring will be expendedin giving specimen lectures with a view to interest­ing people in the re�l work of university extensionlectures. A new center has been organized atWoodlawn Park, and others at Lincoln and Spring­field, Ill., where Professor Butler is giving fort­nightly lectures on "American Literature." Thepeople who live around the new university settle­ment at the stockyards want university lectures.CharlesZeublin will probably offer a course at thatcenter on "Social Reform in Fiction."In an article in the Philadelphia magazine onuniversity extension, Professor Nathaniel Butler il­lustrates the place university extension has in theUniversity of Chicago. He says the University wasnot created merely to fill the same place as the olderinstitutions, and that one of the new lines on whichthe University was run was university extension.He shows how this was assigned to one of the fourgrand co-ordinate divisions of the University ofChicago. In telling about things unique in exten­sion at the University, he speaks of the class workand the correspondence teaching, which has "a con­stituency extending from Maine and Canada to theSandwich Islands, one 0'£ whose students is an Ari­zona ranchman studying Arabic by correspondence;another, a school teacher in the Hawaiian Islands,studying sanskrit, and another, a member of thestanding army in Arizona." 9Informal Reception to the 'Students of theUniversity College.Nancy Foster Hall opened her doors right gra­ciously to the University College Saturday night.Foster is always artistic and cosy, but then she sur­passed herself and the prettily arranged rooms onthe ground floor looked their best.Each guest, after being presented to' Dean Tal­bot and Mr. Pierce-the President of the U niver­sity College Association-had pinned to his back aslip of paper and inscribed thereon was the name ofsome famous personage, such as Nancy Hanks, A.. Alonzo Stag, Swanie Vivikananda and many oth­ers prominent on the turf, in the field, or in theParliament of Religions.Everyone tried to find out his identity, whichhe did sooner or later with the help of his fellowcelebrities. One fair Junior, fearing to go aboutwith the legend, William Rainey Harper, on herback, drew forth another slip and appeared for therest of the evening labelled Buffalo Bill.Mortar board programs contained topics of con­versation and, as was fitting and appropriate in thisour learned University, such subjects as "Man­Ideal and Real," "The Almighty Dollar," and thelike were done up brown in three minutes by theclock.Waltzing and frappe filled up empty spaces inthe conversation, and later on jokes vied with choc­olate and cakes.The idea of an informal reception for the pur­pose of making the students of the University Col­lege known to each other proved most successful,and a vote of thanks is due the committee: MissScovel, Chairman, Mr. Voight, Miss Pierce, Mr.Barnes, Miss Strawn and Miss Me Mahon, and to. those who did so much to welcome their guests.'Everyone was glad to see Dr. Harper and Prof.and Mrs. Me Clintock, and their presence addedmuch to the pleasure of a most delightful evening.F.

From "Fair Beecher."Beecher has many reasons to be thankful. Atpresent, however, I will mention but one, namely,that Mrs. and Miss Wilmarth know her. It wouldtake too much space and time to set forth all herreasons for being thankful on this account, but oneis so conspicuously important that, as the little girlin the Children's col umn would say, we should beglad if the dear WEEKLY would publish itOne should not ramble, I know. 'Tis a sinagainst Wendell, but before telling what Mrs. andMiss Wilmarth did for the Beecher girls I shouldlike to say something else, which I hope will not bewholly irrelevant.Life is a grind when one has to slave over a li­brary table in a stiff-back chair, and then come hometo plain living and high thinking with no more in­spiration for the latter than is in one's own littlesoul, or that can come from human beings of thesame sex. It is horribly monotonous. Almost ev­ery one thinks so, especially those who eat theirbrown bread and beans when they ha ve a good viewof the campus. "Water, water everywhere, and nota drop to drink." Well, this is obscure, but I thinkI am coming to the point. I want you to appre­ciate the extraordinary kindness of Mrs. and MissWilmarth in inviting the Beecher girls to meet theirfriends, forty Chicago men, (not counting the GleeClub) in the Beecher parlors on the evening ofFebruary 19.In addition to the pleasure of meeting the friendsof Mrs. and Miss Wilmarth, the Beecher studentswere treated to a rarely pleasing musical and liter­ary entertainment. The Glee Club sang as only theU. of C. Club can; Miss Goodrich also sang charm­ingly; Mr. Fuller read a selection from his story,"The Cliff-Dwellers"; Mrs. Skellon gave one of herinimitable piano-forte performances; and Mr. Ar­thur Pond recited a parody of Romeo and] uliet.After this program, delicious refreshments wereserved, and if I can add further testimony to theenjoyableness of the occasion it will be that theguests loitered long.Beecher is glad that Mrs. and Miss Wilmarthknow her.
