II, No. 23.CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, MARCH IS, 18)4.THE BLIND SCULPTOR.BY FLORENCE WILKI:\'SON.A man crossed the street in front of me, grey­bearded and grey haired. His head was bent, hissteps were wavering, a little child led him by thehand. As I passed him, he raised his face andlooked at me. In his deep, grey eyes, there wasthe look of a searcher, a troubled look, as of asearcher who had never found his quest, a strainedlook, as of a searcher who feared he might pass itby, a desperate look as of a searcher who had givenup hope, a pathetic look, as of a searcher weary.He bent his head again and the melancholy deepen­ed on his features.He was the blind sculptor. Not the blindmusician, no, not a musician, nor the blind poet.He was not poet nor musician, unless he be a poet.who carves his melody from marble, or a musicianwho hews his harmonies from voiceless stone. - Itseemed to me a marvel. The man whose vision ofthe material world was so bl urred that a flight ofsteps, an open door, a tree, a bush, were a mystery,a peril to him, could yet, by the clearness of his in­ner vision, bring to our duller sight, the invisiblecreations of thought.But I had yet to see his work and learn his sto­ry. As a boy, from the limited round of farminglife, he had felt the vague but imperious call to thelimitless fields of art. Then, he was not blind. Byincessant, patient drudgery for the farmers 'of hiscountry tow,n, in hoeing-time and seeding-time, inhaying-time, in harvest, he laid by a store of mo­ney sufficient to take him to the nearest town.Thus, after a year, he gained access to a sculptor'sstudio where he found manual employment. Buteyes and ears were busy meanwhile, and in recrea­tion hours, he chipped the waste marble and moldedthe left-over clay. The kindly artist discovered histalent, and gave him advice and help: The boyworked and read and his skill increased. The art-ist told him that he must stop his work and study.For two years he studied. He surpassed his mas­ters. They told him he was a genius and all theworld lay before him. He must go to Italy. Then,a life of art, fame and glory. It was like thedraught of a keen, strong elixir to the boy, Paradiseafter the plough, Valhalla after the tread-mill. His­friends were to send him abroad. They relied onhis future success, they said, as ample reward oftheir pains._ But his eyes had troubled him, just a little. Afilm occasionally crossed his sight. He consulteda physician. What? He could not believe hisears! He had not heard him right. Once more,please. Irrevocable? Irremediable? Impossible!It was too cruel. The door opened and then shutin his face? The key in his hand and then takenfrom him? The bugle-call heard and answered,and then-silence? The heavenly hand beckoningand then-vanished? The sun in mid-sky and then-night? The physician calmly repeated the ver­dict. His eyes were hopelessly diseased, _ with adisease 'for which there was no known remedy.Blindness was creeping across them-'tho it mightbe slowly-surely. Five years, ten years, he mightlive in the day, perhaps but five months. Thentwilight would come, then night."You had best choose some other profession"remarked the physician. "Eye-sight is not so es-sential for some as it is for sculpture."The young man smiled, thanked the physician,and went .out. "He had best choose some otherprofession." He smiled again. Tell a flowerwhose perfume has flown, it had best become aleaf; tell a butterfly caught in a net, it had best re­mained a worm; tell an eagle whose wings are clip­ped, it had best become a sparrow; tell him whowas born with' a chisel, he had best use it as aspade!"I will not go to Italy," he said to his friends,"My career is done."So he opened a studio, took in orders for work,and his /studio was crowded. His work was surpas­sing. The busts of his sitters were life-like andstrong. His ideal heads were beautiful. He hadpupils, who praised him for his patience, chivalry,and vivific fo rce. He was a success.' But heworked like a man, not on a mountain top, but ona level plane; not like a man who sees a vista be­fore him, but like one confronted by a stone wall;not like a man who works for his sweetheart, butlike a man whose feet are chai-ned.Inwardly he rebelled and thus changed his ge­nius, for the soul which chafes is never the soulwhich aspires. The world praised him, but artistswere disappointed.The years wore away and he still saw. But,"It is no use," he said, for the verdict, like a sword2 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKL v.of Damocles, hung over his head. In ten years, hemight have made his name, have left a legacy tothe world. In ten years, he made his fortune, leftno legacy to the world, and with the tenth year,the deepening twilight changed to night, and lefthim groping in the dark. He closed the studio, hesaid nothing to his friends; he left the town; he bu­ried himself in secl usion.Ten years he lived thus, a solitary man. Thenthe heavenly form that had vanished long ago, ap­peared once more to him, like a star in the sky.And, with shut eyes and empty hands, he dreamedbeautiful visions, visions that in his working dayshad been denied him. There was gloom no longer,there was no longer uncertainty.He took up his chisel again. With waveringfingers he molded, in the dark, his familiar clay.His work was the statue of a soldier. It was forthe sol di ers' burying ground in the Sleepy HollowCemetery. He worked for two years over whatwould formerly have been the work of months.Daily, with uncertain steps, he went to the rudeshed that formed his improvised work room. Withmany changes, re-moldings and infinite pains, 'hisgroping fingers lingering over the invisible materialhe put into clay his thoughts. What had been de­nied him by day was given him by night; the poet'sinspiration. The statue was to compete with oth­ers. The judges were artists and. critics of world­wide reputation. They saw the statue and judgedit by its merits. They were taken by storm."Magnificent! " they said, and when they learnedthat the sculptor was blind, "Impossible!" andthen "Superb!" they said.The statue was cast in bronze and stands at thegates of the cemetery, a man of martial mien,whose rugged features are worn by battle's stress.Proud, patient, calm, he confronts death superbly,as one who hears, below the blare of trumpets themoans of the dying, and who has learned the les­son: "Whosoever will lose his life, shall save it."The Stories of Genesis.LECTURES BY PRESIDENT W. R. HARPER.The ninth lecture in .the course reverted, at thebeginning, to a subject which had been left incom­plete in the fourth lecture-the Cai nite civilization,the beginnings of which are described in the fourthchapter. That subject comes naturally in connec­tion with what is found in the tenth chapter, theprincipal topic for the evening, by reason partly ofomissions in the latter which suggest questions as topossible Caini te races not coming in the list of de­scendants of Noah.Among the descendants of Cain are found thosebeginnings of civilization which the book describes;the building of a city, the beginning of cattle-tend­ing, or the shepherd-life, music, the manufacture of bronze and iron, the beginning of polygamy, and themanufacture of weapons. The beginning of shep­herd-life and the invention of music are, in the nar­'ati ve, mentioned in a connection which is suggesti ve,the musical pipe of the shepherd being a feature inancient story, and a favorite poetical conception inall times. Particular attention was given in the lec­ture to what is said of Tubal-Cain as "the forger ofevery cutting instrument of brass [bronze] andiron. No such "stone age" is mentioned as geol­ogists speak of. The use of bronze and iron for"cutting instruments" is here described as belong­ing to the very beginnings of civilization. In theconnection, too, appears what is said paticularly ofLamech, father of these several first inventors.With him polygamy begins, with him also the useof weapons for war or other acts of violence. His"Sword-Song" as it is called, is the oldest poetryin existence, far older than the most ancient any­where else preserved. In quoting it the lecturer fol­lows the Revised Version:"Adah and Zillah, hear my voice;Ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech:For I have slain a man for wounding me,And .a young man for bruising me:If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold,Truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold."Various interpretati ons have been suggested:Some regarding it as a savage song of triumph; someas simply giving expression to a feeling of satisfac­tion and elation that now a weapon of aggression orof defense had been found. In any case, this an­cient poern , so ancient and in form so antique, sig­nalizes the entrance upon the scene of human thingsofthat element in both ancient and modern civiliz­ation represented in war and the military profession.Attention was then given to the fact that amongthese descendants of Cain we find the opening scenesin that which we term' by way of distinction theworldly life of men. Two th-ings in it are ominousof evil; the one polygamy, the other invention anduse of weapons of violence. The race of Cain rep­resents thus in the narrative the worldly, the sinful,the violent element in antediluvian life. Upon theother hand, the spiritual, the godly element appearsin the lirre of Seth, represented above all in Enoch,who "walked with God." These contrasted aspectsof antediluvian history were vividly and stronglybrought to view in the lecture.An important view presented in connection with'this part of the lecture had reference to the purposeof the narrative describing the origin of civilization.This purpose is not merely historical with a designto show how and by whom these primitive arts oflife were invented. Inspiration must be supposedto have higher. aims in view. The purpose is toshow how the consequences of the fall into sin de­velop right onward to the final catastrophe in whichGod is constrained to overwhelm the world and therace with destruction. It is the high spiritual andUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.moral lesson that is held in view, not the scientificor the historical,-a purpose in this respect lookingalso beyond the idea of mere punishment, and pre­paring the way for that which comes to light laterin the book, where we learn of one chosen fromamong the sons of Noah to be the father of a nationthrough whom shall be realized a promised victoryover sin-the seed of the woman bruising the ser­pent's head.To the foreshadowing of this, found in the tenthchapter, attention was next given.' Various detailswere entered into, with which limitations of space donot permit us to be concerned. In this case as in form­er ones, traces of two distinct narratives are found,the priestly and the prophetic, each characterized inways before mentioned. They may be distinguish­ed, among other signs, by the refrain that from timeto time recurs in each; in the priestly narrative,with the phraseology, "everyone after his owntongue, after their families, in theirnations;" in theprophetic in a less repetitious and more descriptiveway, as, "And the border of the Canaanites wasfrom Sidon as thou comest to Gerar into Gaza," or"And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goestinto Sepher, a mount of the Lord." In the sylla­bus the two tables are seen in their order, as drawnfrom the text.Each of these narratives has two distinct purpos­es: the one to prepare the way for the history of theIsraelitish nation as a priestly nation in covenantwith God; the other having in view as before an ex­hihition of that side of human history in which thesinfulness of the race appears. In the case of boththe place of special disti nction in the tables of na­tions found in the chapter is given to Shem, as thatone of the sons of Noah of whom Abraham and theother patriarchs, also Judah and David, shouldcome.Remarkable omissions are noticed. There.is noplace in either table for the Mongolian, the Malay­an, the American or the Negro race; none for theseothers of which we read later, the Amalekites, theRephaim, the Emim the Zuzim. Were these des­cendants of Cain, wandering into distant parts of theworld, and unreached by the deluge? Such a the­ory conflicts with what is said in the story of thatgreat catastrophe, of the destruction of "all flesh."Were they descendants of a Preadarni te race? Thatmakes impossible the unity of mankind, in originand in "blood." It seems to be the opinion of thelecturer that the feature noticed is due to the earlydate at which these tables were made, and so is aproof of their very great antiquity. Indeed the lee­ture claims that, while other like records are foundamong other nations, Egyptian, Phcenician, Assyr­ian and Babylonian, this which we have here inGenesis is by far the oldest, the most complete andthe most authentic of all. The table, or rather the tables, since in the viewof the lecturer there are two, are not genealog­ical, since in them we find not alone persons,but also nations named, nor ettenological, sincethe personal element also appears, nor are theygeographical, since the boundaries of nations arenot defined in any explicit way. They have a pur­pose, and so a form, of their own, as indicatedabove. The lecture closed with announcement ofthe dispersion of nations and the confusion oftongues as the subject of the next, and with indica­tion beforehand of difficult questions to be thentaken up.Superintendent Parker.We present herewith an excellent likeness, fa­miliar to every student and officer of the U niversi­ty. Mr. Albert O. Parker, Chief Engineer andSuperintendent of buildings.SUPERINTENDENT PARKER.Mr Parker is an engineer of many years experi­ence; and came to the University from the HydePark Water Works, of which he was for severalyears, "the man at the helm." His services in theestablishment and maintenance of the elaborateheating plant of the University have been invalua­ble, and the large force of employes in the severaldepartments have grown much attached to theirchief, whom they find always the same, affable,courteous and urbane, though firm and exact­ing and practically omnipresent. The mul ti­tude of harrassing details that constantly arisein the management of so widely distributed aplant seems never to ruffle his equanimity, and everyone connected with the University in any capacityis ever ready to testify that "Parker is the man forthe place." 34 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY. (Making Their Own Way.The Chicago Trihune in an article on the U niv­ersity of Chicago, of a recent date, says: "Carletonand Dickens have pictured the pathetic side of thepoor scholar's life, the bitterest part of which wasto bear the insolence of the rich student, the scornof the well-to-do, the contumely of the proud, andthe pity of those who would have assisted had theybeen able. At the University of Chicago no suchcondition of affairs exists. A thoroughly democra­tic spirit prevails. There are Americanism and in­dependence everywhere. As a result of this, abil­ity and manliness form the only criterions by whichstudents are judged, and this in turn accounts forthe fact that a number of the boys who are 'makingtheir way' are among the most popular at the uni­versity. If any class of scholars would naturally beinclined to look down upon them it would be theday scholars, whose home and social environmentsare aristocratic to an extreme degree, and with thesethey do not come in contact except in the class­room, where there is no opportunity even for form­ing acquaintance. Besides, the poor scholars ofCarleton and Dickens were always pale, sickly fel­lows, with pleading blue eyes and hectic flushes,while the boys at the University of Chicago whoare fighting their own battles are for the most part,muscular fellows, in rugged health, and possessedof Spartan courage. Boys from the farm predomi­nate; boys who want a better education than can beobtained at the country public school. Some ofthem could depend upon a little assistance from theold folks on the farm, but even in dire necessitythey refuse to put what they consider an impositionupon poorly-to-do parents, and bravely struggle onunaided except by their own efforts."American Foot-Balt.In the course of a speech on American Foot­ball delivered before the University Athletic Club,Walter A. Camp said: "There are two things Ishould like to see done. The first is to have the manmaking a fair catch protected. It seems to me thatwe can accomplish the resul t in a si mple mannerand one involving little radical change from thepresent play. It is this: Let any man trying for afair catch hold up his arm. As soon as he doesthis, let it be taken torncan that he is trying for afair catch, and a" guarantee that he will not run withthe ball. If he does not hold his arm up, it is adirect challenge to the opponents that he intendsrunning with the ball, and those who are on sidecan tackle him. The second point to be gained isto reduce the playing time to two half hours. Theresult would not be materially affected, and thestrain on the men would be less, while the chancesof playing in to the dusk of evening would be doneaway with. The momentum play is thoroughly scientific and should not be dropped without legis­lation. Its worst tendency has not yet been mark­edly apparent, but it will become so if-the develop­ment goes on. It will lead to the too frequentuses of momentum plays to exhaust a good man inthe opposing line. That is a phase which none . ofus wish to see."The Ship of Life.FROM RUSSIAN OF PUSHKIN.The ship of life, though heavy laden,Smoothly lightly takes its wayTIll hoary Time, its dauntless pilot,Steers it safely to the bay.A t morn we laughing board the vesselReady life itself to stake,Despising careless ease and pleasure."On!" we cry, and toss and shake.By noon, almost bereft of courage,Groaning, tossed from side to side,Alarmed by threatening waves and chasms,Angrily we blame our guide.But ever on the ship is speeding;Ev'ning's calm enjoyment comesAnd while we dream, the waves unheedinzTime at last has brought us home. 0'Beecher Notes.A 1 uncheon given to the defunct basket ballteam by Dr. Cram, of 5541 Michigan Ave., morethan offset the chagrin of a few weeks ago.Our parlors were always large enough until acertain Wednesday night.

Thespacious parlors, reception rooms and large ball roomof the Hotel Windermere have been engaged with anumber of musicians. Everything promises a brightsuccess. The Academic College has given us enter­tainments this year and for that reason it is to behoped there will be a full and enthusiastic attendance.The fee is so small that no one need stay away onthat account, and being in the afternoon, of courseit will be a strictly informal affair.The program, at this writing, has not been fullydecided upon, but the Mandolin Club will probablygrace the occasion with its presence. There will al­so be some marching and some figures gone throughwith before the dancing begins, which will close'the -entertainment.It will be a jolly crowd/ when the whole Aca­demic College gets together, and a good time maybe expected.Affiliated Schools.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.CHICAGO ACADEMY.It has bee n decided to hold an entertainment onthe Friday night ending each term.

The score stood 10 to 8 with evengoals-our boys being too proficient in fouling. The speakers for the Inter-Society contest to beheld March z jrd, are' as follows: .DEBATE: Affir.

A. wasunusually well attended last Friday evening by anearnest body of students who assembled to hearDr. John M. Coulter, President of Lake -ForestU niversi ty.Pres. Coulter spoke on the work of the Y. M. C.A. both in college and out of college. He said thatthe principle of substitution was the governing prin­ciple in the Y. M. C. A. movement. The Y. M.C. A. in its effort to better mankind, recognizesthose traits of human nature which are deep seated,and seeks to turn them into channels of influence forgood.The Y. M. C. A directs the greater part of itseffort along four lines; which lines are not chosenarbitrarily, but are found already marked out bythe following impulses. First: The' 'impulse toamusement," and here the Y. M. C. A. seeks tosubstitute innocent for harmful amusement.· Sec­ond: "The impulse to physical culture," here welldirected training, with good associates, is su bstitutedfor the opposite. Third: "The impulse to educa­tion." Here a great work is being done for themiddle class of society, especially in the largecities. Fourth: "The impulse to a higher life."Here the work of the Y. M. C. A. aproach­es closely the work of the church but does notencroach upon the work of the church because it'works in a field, which the church can not, or atleast, does not reach.President Coulter's address was greatly enjoyedby everyone present and all felt the inspirationwhich comes from seeing one so earnest and enthu­siastic in the work.Tournament with Northwestern.Athletes of the University will have an oppor­tunity to show the ir skill in the tournament of trackand field athletics with Northwestern U niversi ty, tobe held in a few weeks. Tattersalls has been de-o cided on as the place for the meet.Stagg proposed to decide the contests on ther yth of the present month, but the Evanston menhaving already arranged for an athletic entertain­ment on that day it was necessary to make a change.Evanston wanted it on March loth but our athleteswere not ready by that time. It is possible that thecontest may go over until after the Easter vacation.5(/6 UNIVERSIT:Y OF CHICAGO WEEKL'.,PUBLISHED WEEKLY IN THE I:\TEREST OF THE STUDENTSOF THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO.MANAGER, C.

Last Octoberwhen every nook and corner of Hyde Park, Ken­wood and South Park were occupied by World's Fairvisitors, students were compelled to p�y the pricesasked for rooms in the dormitories or sleep beneaththe starry heavens without a roof to shelter them.Everyone objected to the high rates which prevail­ed at the time but there was no alternative. If aman wished to have one "of the comforts of home,"namely, a bed �eneath a well kept roof, he had tosubmit to pay the prices asked with as good graceas was possible under such circumstances. Abouteighty men inhabited Snell during the first twomonths of the fall quarter, after which time manytook rooms off the campus preferring to pay rentfor two places that they might enjoy a few of the dormitories are commonly supposed to exist for theconvenience and protection of students. They area protection in that they regulate -the prices forrooms in the vicinity, thus preventing unscrupuloushouse holders from keeping up the price of rentals.Here in Chicago where rooms are plenty and priceslow the University should make its rates as low as pos­sible. The dormitories were erected by individualson the condition that the University should pay themfive per cent on the amount invested while they live.After the death of these donors the dormi tories be-come University property. We understand thatthe scale of prices now iri force in Snell, was" madeout with a view to meeting this five per cent annualpayment. The rates are not high when comparedto those which students have to pay at Harvard,Yale and Princeton, but when we consider the ad­vantages afforded roomers at many of the apartmenthouses and hotels in the neighborhood and the lowrates of these places, the prices for Snell rooms seemhigh indeed. It is to be hoped that the reductionwill have the effect of again filling the undergrad­uate dormitory.IT IS to be hoped that the friends of the studentswho were the victims of the recent failure of theWoman's Baking Company restaurant will notsuffer them to go unprovided for. The eating prob­lem is, as Dr. Harper says, a very serious one, yetit is also a very interesting one. There are manyinteresting themes for speculation in theology orphilosophy, but these are nothing to figuring outat just what time to buy a twenty-one meal ticketat an ex- World's Fair restaurant so as to come outeven when the doors close. The guesses of coursewere varied in the case of the recent example.One student bought a ticket for four dollars onlythe night before, another even, on the same morn­morning of the failure, while a third had purchasedcomforts of life. There is no denying the fact that several tickets while the price was $3.50, in orderSnell as a dormitory is not an entire success. Its' to' profit when the price went up to $4.00. But on'rooms are not ideal students quarters and those whohave lived there have complained of many things inits management. At the end of the fall quarter the"exodus,' as it has been termed was begun in earn­est. Rooms in the vicinity were found which weremuch better adapted to the wants of students andthe prices were startlingly low in comparison to therates asked for Snell. During the present quarterSnell has had many vacant rooms, and the trusteeshave acted wisely in reducing the prices. College the other �and, o�e young gentleman was so fortu­nate as to be in debt for his ticket at the time ofthe defalcation.THE UNIVERSITY of Chicago Glee and Ser­enade Clubs have now an established reputa­tion in Chicago musical circles. The successof last week's concert was flattering; the youngmen proved themselves capable of entertaining alarge and critical audience; their warmest support­ers even were surprised at their reception. TheIUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.clubs have every reason to feel proud of their suc­cess. Every 'man has worked untiringly, and theresult has shown that their work has not been invain. To the gentleman who has directed the clubfor the past few weeks, and to whose effort, morethan to that of any other one person is the crown­ing success due, every student should be thankful.We refer to Dr. William Carver Williams of Cleve­land. Mr. Williams has been director of the Adel­bert College club for the past six years, and hislarge experience was Of vast avail in drilling a neworganization like ours.WE HAD hoped to be able to publish in thisissue interviews with prominent base ball andfoot ball men with a view to deciding wheth­er or no any athletic association would be welcomedby the students. It was found upon inquiry that acommittee from the facul ty has the matter in handand will present a plan to the students within a fewweeks. Any plans that would tend to put the ath­letic management into the hands of the students orat least, under the control of men elected by thestudents, will be gladly received.BATHS in the gymnasium are not at all satis­factory to many of the classes, and to the 5:45class in particular. The trouble is not _so muchthat there are not enough of them but that there isnot enough water. Or sometimes there is a pre.:.ponderance of hot over cold water, or vice versa.The engineer should see that the defects in thebath system are remedied.OF THE stories received in the prize compe­tition we have already published the winningone, "The conversion of Caroline" and onewhich received a. mention, "My Neighbor." Weshall publish several of th� remaining stories withina few weeks. "The Ghost of Lake Obeiyah," "Frau­lein Olga," and "The Oak Tree."T HE WEEKLY next week will contain a com­plete account of the Oratorical contest wi thpictures of the winners, abstracts of the orationsand the marks of all the contestants. Those whodesire extra copies should place their orders withthe University Press at once.R.osalie Failure.Rosalie Cafe, on 57th street and Rosalie court,within whose palatial rooms the hungry searchers forknowledge have regaled themselves with such dain­ties as corn beef, hash, baked beans,cabinet pudding and blueberry pie for the past several months, ISwithout master and boarders. The manager, F. A.Cole, has fled to parts unknown, leaving behind himseveral score of hungry and angry students whosetickets still have "rides unpunched." It is proba­ble that the Woman's Baking Company, who ownthe building, and whom Cole left with an unpaidrent bill of $1,000, will open the restaurant to thepublic in a few days. It is announced, however,that tickets issued by Cole upon payment of fourdollars in the current coin of the realm will not behonored. In future, students will be wary of newrestaurant managers, and will adopt the customwhich has been pursued with great success by sev­eral cautous ones, namely, to postpone paymentfor tickets until the entire twenty-one meals arepunched out.Alumni Notes.Among the Alumni who attended the concert ofthe Glee Club at Central Music Hall, we noticedDr. J. E. Rhodes '76, T. M. Hammond '85, DaisyM. Springer '85, Miss Lydia A. Dexter '84, Rich-.ard B. Twiss '75, Oscar Bass '80, Dr. L. G. Bass'77, Mr. & Mrs. E. A. Buzzell '86, Henry F. Frink'68, F. H. Clark '82 aridjames Langland '77.. Dr. Harry J. Furber '86 has, we understand,resigned his position in the Northwestern U niver­sity, and intends to leave at once for Germanywhere he will shortly issue a work in political econ­omy, embracing new and original ideas, the mater­ial for which is now in the hands of the Germanpublishers.Perhaps no class of the University was betterrepresented, or enjoyed the occasion of the Wash­ington Supper of the Alumni Association on Febru­ary 22nd., more than the class of '69 which gradu­ated 25 years ago:Of those present from that class, W. EugeneBosworth is a merchant in Elgin, Alonzo D. Fos­ter is a merchant in Chicago, Theron B. Pray issuperintendent of Normal and Institute work atWhitewater, Wis., Robt. D. Sheppard is Professorof History in Northwestern' University and Ed­ward F. Stearns is principal of the Town of LakeIdigh School. We hope that each year, hereafter,the class reaching its z yth milestone will make thegathering of Feb. z znd a special occasion for aclass reunion. Such meetings tend to keep alive afeeling of interest in our Alma Mater.The following records were made at the recent athletic meetat the U ni versity of Illinois: Ten yard dash, 1 3- 5 seconds; halfmile walk, 3.57; twenty yard dash, 2 4-5 seconds; slow bicycle,2.13; thirty yard dash. 3 3- 5 seconds; forty yard hurdle, 5 2- 5 sec­onds; forty yard dash, 5 seconds; pole vault, IO feet 6 inches; shotput, 34 feet 8 inches; high kick, 7 feet 8 1-2 inches; rope climb,14 1-5 seconds; high jump, 5 feet 9 inches. 7//8 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY"Tennis Results.Neel, the tennis champion, hurt his ankle againlast week on the indoor court and the close of thetournament will be delayed.

Resolutions at Cornell.Th following resolutions have been adopted atCornell in regard to the recent trouble there:(I) We, the students of Cornell University, inmass meeting assembled, formally express our regretat the deplorable occurrence connected with the re­cent freshman banquet, which, allowing for falsifiedand highly-colored statements, have, nevertheless,disgraced the university in the eyes of the public.(2 ) We disavow the act as being the act of i. n­dividuals unauthorized by any class or body of stu­dents in the university.(3) We assure the civil authorities of our syu:­pathy and co-operation in their efforts to bring theoffenders to justice., (4) We censure the authors of the exaggeratedand sensational press reports which have placed thestudents of the university in a false light before theworld, and unjustly tarnished the name and fameof the institution.(5) We resolve that if the freshmen are permi t­ted to continue to hold their banquet, it shall be un­der the protection of the whole student body, andthat it is the sentiment of this mass meeting thatthey should be exempt from molestation by any in­dividual or class.(6) We express our conviction that all irregularand unregulated contests between under classmenand so-called' 'milking" affairs and other forms ofpersonal collision are extremely detrimental, in theirtendency and effects, to the welfare of the universi­ty; and we will use our influence towards discour­aging such affairs in the future.(7) We empower the student committee on dis­ci pline to execute this conviction.University Extension.The following lectures will be given this weekunder the auspices of the U niversi ty.THURSDAY.Quincy-Dr. E.
