If she.._glanced up at all, itwas with a deprecatory, almost beseeching expres­sion. But ordinarily her look was down cast, andsometimes her eyes were wet with tears. She wepteasily. She was a slight, delicate looking, palefaced gi rl, not 1 ikely to attract the gaze of the cas­ual observer. Her features were small and regular,and her heavy, dark brown hair was drawnback smoothly from h�r forehead, and twistedin a hard, unbecoming knot in .her neck. Her eyeswere a 1 ustreless brown, and her face, in its absolutepallor, looked as if the high lights had been left outin its making.She was a Russian girl" and was called usuallyby the simple title, Fraulein Olga. Her home wasa little interior Russian town, a hundred miles fromSt. Petersburg. Her own mother had died soonafter Olga's birth, and her father had married againalmost immediately. Olga's stepmother was a vig--:_orous, energetic, even hard woman, who had littlepatience with the shrinking sensitive child, whocrept about, and always looked wistful andfrightened. A large family of robust, noisy nerve­less children grew up in due time, and, Olga shrankmore and more within herself. To the others shebecame less and less necessary.Her one solace was music. For the piano sheshowed marked talent and at the age of fifteen shehad outgrown the advantages, which the little townin which she lived, offered. Her parents, followingthe advice of her teacher, sent her to Stuttgart to betrained for a public pianist. If she failed in that,she at least could become a teacher of music.Fraulein Olga lived on Engen Strasse, in a pen­sion, selected for its cheapness by students of theConservatory. She had little to do with the otherboarders in the house, and seldom went to the grandconcerts, which in Stuttgart were looked upon as anessential part of a m usi cal jeducati on. If she occa---;-;rhi<; story received honorable mention in the prize story contest. sionally joined in the pranks and jokes of her fel­low-students, it was in a half-hearted apologeticway, as if she were conscious of offending some one.The girls neither liked nor disliked her. Theythought merely that she was painfully conscientiousand a little slow. Sometimes they remonstratedwith her for working incessantly. She always re­plied? "I must work ; they expect so much of meat home." After her letters from home, whichcame at rare intervals, she looked more depressedand practised more faithfully. She permitted her­self no holidays, and worked steadily throughthe long, hot, oppressive summer months.Thus three years passed away, and her fatherwrote for he r to come home. Olga begged formore time and was granted another year. At lastit looked as if her labors were to be crowned with arich reward. Her progress seemed extraordinary tothose who had not seen her years of almost desper­ate toil. It was understood that she would takethe first prize at the Conservatory, at the end of theyear.Olga no longer dreaded going home. In herprofession she could be somebody, and her artwould make her welcome. She began to look hap­pier, and a light kindled by her love for musiccame into her face and made it almost beautiful.She received with gratitude the friendly advanceswhich the girls made to her. Sometimes she laughed.One morning she came to the breakfast tablelate, saying that she felt tired, her wrists troubledher, and she thought she would take a holiday, thefirst in nearly four years. The next morning herhands were worse, and she complained that theyfelt strangely numb. She thought she would con­sul t a physician.[What the physi cian sai d to her was learned af­terwards from him. ] He had been obliged to tell herwhen she came to him, that the nerves of her wristswere paralyzed and that she would never be able toplay again. When the physician gave his verdict Olgasaid nothing but hurried out of his consulting-roomwith a half moan. She went back to the pensionin which she lived, meeting no one, as she mountedthe long flights of stairs leading to her tiny room atthe top of the house. She closed the window,lighted her little charcoal stove and threw herself2 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.down on her bed, covering her head with the bedclothes. She left no scrap of writing. Nooneknew what her thoughts were as she committed her­self to Fate. The unknown was not as terrible toher as going home.A Glimpse of the Meadows.When, in September, 1889, I finished my sum­mer term of school in the little prairie hamlet" ofC-, it was with uncommon heaviness of heart thatI returned to my mother's home in Englewood."Sister Emma's come! Sister Emma's come !" criedCharley and the two younger sisters, as I came upto the steps with my heavy valise in my hand. Mydear old mother was not slow in coming to greetme, but after she had given me my home-comingkiss, an 'anxious look stole into her face. "Emma,girl, I don't believe you'r well!"And I was'nt well. The experience of the pastfour months had taxed my nervous system and mywhole bodily frame beyond their powers of endu­rance. The school was a hard one, and I had con­sidered it a failure. It was not wholly lack of dis­cipline, tho' there had been a few pupils who weresullen and willful, and whose management, only halfsuccessful, "had drawn more deeply on their teacher'svital force than all the teaching of classes. But theattendance was small, and the few who came werelistless and inattentive, despite the best efforts Iknew how to make. The people of the communitywere bent on making mopey, tho' little knowinghow to use it, and their only interest above their farmsand their grocery stores was in discussing partypolitics, from the point of men of their own tempor­al interests. It was most painful to see bright en­ergetic boys growing up in ignorance and compara­tive coarseness, because their parents, by no meanspoor, were too narrow sighted to spare their servic­es from the farm. It seemed an epitome of the lifeof the district that the one young man who had leftthat year for the city, had gone, not to college, butto an assistant foremanship in a pork-packing house,where his savings would be slightly greater than athome.But the person whose life had haunted me themost was the second son in the family where I board­ed. The people were third-cousins of mine, and itwas through their acquaintance that I had come toteach so far from home. The family was very large,but willing hands and two hundred and eighty acresyielded a sufficient supply of this world's goods. Butpoor Harvey! He had been deaf and dumb eversince he had the scarlet fever. A t that time hecould read in the third reader, but had since forgot­ten it all, and could now not even speak abovetwenty words so that his own folks could under­stand him. Grown well into his twenties, he was still working around his father's farm, with no par­ticular outlook in life. Oh, the pity of it ! Hisgrandmother F-, had left him $500 for his educa­tion at the deaf mute school, but his parents, think­ing the sum too great to be spent on mere educa­tion, had simply put the money out at interest for_his use when he became of age, by which time .hi sdesire for learning had left him.I told mother about my sympathy for him, andabout all my troubles. She tried to cheer me up,saying I should have a good rest, and then findsome more hopeful and easier field of work. Butmy rest had come too late. The next day did -notbring refreshment, nor the next, and Sunday morn­ing I kept my bed. The doctor came," and said Imust have a run of the fever. - Then how the longdays and weeks wore on as I lay and tossed! Moth­er, and the doctor, and Charlie, and Kate, and Su­sie,-how I remember their faces as they took theirturns by my bedside. And by and by the facesgrew anxious,' and they talked more softly in theroom, 'till one night (when they thought me asleep)the doctor shook his head, and I heard him \say,"Mrs. Dearborn, I'm afraid we must wait- for the,worst. "The words did not frighten me. I neither feltnor cared. I said it would be a relief, for oh! itwas weary tossing! It was now far past midnight.I had been awake and not delirious, for some time,and was looking from restless, half-closed' eyelidsat the lamp turned low, and out by it through theopen window into the night. Suddenly the lightseemed to flicker and whirl, and all grew dark in theroom. I felt a resistless impulse to rise from mybed, whither to go I could not tell. To my sur­prise I was able to stagger to my feet, and as Isteadied myself for a moment, my whole frameseemed to grow light, and I moved noiselessly andairily to the door, without so much as touching thecarpet beneath me. The darkness without wasdense, and I felt rather than I saw that I was wan­dering down the street of a great strange city, whosemany storied buildings rose gloomy - and vast oneither hand, shutting out all but a narrow bit of sky,where a few stars were shining in silent beauty. AsI walked, or rather floated down the long street, Ifelt surprise at meeting no human being amid sovast an aggregation of buildings, when 10 ! no soon­er thought than my mind, as if given a second vis­ion by the spell of the darkness, saw through theheavy walls, and beheld the poor creatures whowere toiling in the narrow rooms within. I couldnot see what they were doing, but they sat bowedover their tasks, in which they- seemed deeply en­grossed,-too much so to look away or speak toone another. I wondered why they never left theirnarrow cells to pace the silent street and gaze at thestars above. At the thought the doors flew openlUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKL Y.and here and there a black robed figure, with low­bowed head, would flit diagonally across the way,and in at another narrow door at the other side.I tried to stop them and tell them how lovely thesky was, for no other beauty could I see, but neverdid they look up, or pause, or listen. So strangeseemed their conduct that sudden dread seized uponme, and I rushed down the street to escape from thestrange weird city. It seemed I should never passall the buildings, they were so many, but finally Ireached the end, and it was a wall! It rose un­broken before me higher than eye could see, thanthought could reach. Turning, I fled franticallyback over all the way again, but the other end wasclosed! Street after street did I try, and all in vain,'till at length, half despairing, I turned down a nar­row alley, and there in the face of the same greatwall, between the heavy, rough-hewn stones, I founda narrow gate, and lightly, like a disembodied spir­it, I glided through. Oh joy! I was walking thesweet, sweet meadows! I was free! The large, lowmoon was shimmering over the boundless billowyplain! I felt like floating up into the beams to thesource of all rest and light! .But look! who are those three men, those dark­robed figures who are walking there, who quicklyapproach me and beckon me back to the narrowgate! My will seemed powerless to resist them, andsadly did I turn and enter my prison once more.Once within, I seemed to sink unconscious beneaththe oppressive darkness, and so, and so-'till atlastI saw my mother's face bending over me, and thelamp was flickering on the table before the openwindow. "Thank God!" she said, "she breathesagain!" "yes," sai d the doctor, "she has passed thecrisis, and she will live." "She sank very low," Iheard mother say, "her limbs grew very cold, andone moment when I felt a stiffness go. through herframe, and her breath cease, I thought she had pass­ed away already. It was just as the clock struckthree, and just then she moved once more, and I feltthe stiffness yield, and she groaned and opened hereyes.In the happy years which have come since then,- ----happier than I had known in all my life before­I have tried to forget my strange, gloomy city ofnight and of life. Yet never quite can I forget thatearly morning when I was hindered at the gate.EARNEST GREEN DODGE.The new walk from the corner of Kent Hall tothe Cobb Hall doorway is much appreciated by busystudents who previously have religiously abstainedfrom "cutting across" for fear of treading down thegrass. The authorities are to be congratulated up­on having devised a plan by which that barren pathmight be utilized and still preserve the beauty ofthe campus. To Gladstone.0, England's son!To thee is given a boon, not granted oft to mortals-A pausing time,-within home's sacred portalsWhen thou may'st think of duties done,Of victorious hours,-battles wonIn Freedom's name.The sun can never pause at close of brilliant days. To see the world illumined by his rays,But thou may'st rest in Hawarden's peace and feelLiberty's light, enkindled by thy zealTo glowing flame.Thy inspired voice hast lightened the gloomIn oppressed homes, raised the feudal yoke, averted doom.Hast set the emerald, again, a gem,In Briton's royal diadem,While nations praise.Defender of the faith, mid scoffing times.Thy word has helped the weak in many climes.Hark to our praise, and mayst thou nowLive with the laurel on thy browThrough many days.-Lu Eaves Barrett.The History of Sin.U. of M Daily:- The lecture last evening in theInland League course by Prof. W. D. Me Clintock,of Chicago University, on "The National History ofSin as Typified in Macbeth," was a philosophicalstudy of the subject in question. Mr. Me Clintockis a young man and a clear and fluent speaker.He began his address by describing in full theenvironments of Macbeth and showed how all thecircumstances were conducive to his' conduct. Thecircumstances preliminary to Macbeth's temptation,his character, situation and the witches symbolicalof fate were next discussed. Macbeth is brave,ambitious, cruel, of a practical temper, a politition,but not a keen philosopher as Hamlet. The speak­er traced very closely the origin of the temptationand its development in Macbeth's mind until heyielded to the desire.The speaker depicted very vividly the conditionof Macbeth's mind as he is led up to the deed itself.Macbeth trusts to fate, he fears the circumstances,'he has but a half hearted determination to. proceedAt this point Lady Macbeth appears. She is intro­duced to encourage Macbeth, her function is to pre­ci pi tate the deed. Macbeth has the ambition butlacks the determination and this supplied by LadyMacbeth, whose will is as strong as her ambitionand who knows all his weaknesses. It is in allcases those who know our weakness that most easilymake us sin.After the deed is cornmi tted there are threeroads which the criminal may take- repentance,moral decay or moral badness. Macbeth takes thelatter and continues in crime to secure himself untildriven to bay and slain. 34 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO \VEEKL Y.Base Ball Season Opened.With bright sunshine, a fairly large and enthus­iastic crowd and a diamond which reminded one ofthe "campus" between the barn and sheds and theold farm house, the Freshmen and Sophomoresplayed the first regular ball game of the season lastSaturday. The game was well played, the goodshowing of the men occasioning at times much ap­plause. The sophomore organization was composedin the main of men who made up last year's varsityteam. Prescott and Conover, only, were missedfrom the nine, their positions being occupied byMinard and Bowers.Winston made the first round for the freshmenin the second on a fumble by Gale and a pair ofwild throws. Errors of Brown and Winston gavethe sophomores two runs in the same inning. Inthe third Hering was trying to make a two-baggerout of a single hit and went out at second. A hit. by Nichols in the sixth brought in a run for thesophomores. It was in this inning that Heringmade a splendid capture of Adkinson's long fly tocenter field. Bowers made a run, after being hit bythe pitcher, on a base on balls, an error of Brownand a passed ball. In the seventh Vaughan batted_ out a two-bagger and then scored a run, but hisopponents were busy with other men. Brown andWinston scored for the freshmen in the eighty on abase on balls, passed balls and an error, while inthe ninth Church made a run after a base hit, on astolen base and two sacrifices.

Amongother clubs Leland Stanford U ni versi ty will take aneastern trip and wants a date with our·team. Manyof the players who will get places on the 'varsityteam this year are in favor of a trip by which gamescould be arranged with Michigan, Wisconsin, Adel­bert, Cincinnati, Dennison, DePauw and Wabash.The Michigan team is said to be strong in everypoint this year, and the games with that nine areexpected to attract wide attention. Nichols' is showing up in fine form this year and will do mostof the pitching. Brown has done some good workand may alternate with Nichols. The first Michi­gan games will take place Decoration Day at AnnArbor or Detroit. The other is the annual "uni­versi ty base ball game," which will be played onthe home field, between the orange and the yellowand bl ue. The list of dates thus far arranged is asfollows:University of Wisconsin at Chicago May 5.Northwestern University at Evanston May 8.Northwestern University at Chicago May 23.University of Michigan at Detroit May 30.University of Wisconsin at Madison June 16.University of Michigan at Chicago June 23.Games will be arranged with Lake Forest, Ober­lin, the University of Illinois, and, perhaps,Wabash College and the DeI?auw University. ofIndiana.The Largest University .A German publishing firm issues a year bookof the universities of the world, of which it statesthere are 119. It -is a little surprising to read thatItaly heads the list with. 21 universities. Germanyherself comes second with 20, and the UnitedStates, which is third, is credited with 13; Austria,Hungary and Spain have II each; Great Britainand Ireland, 10; Russia, 9; Switzerland, 6; and therest are "scattering." The curiosi ty of the list ap­pears in the column that gives the average numberof students per university, the one university ofGreece having- 3,500 students, and being the bestattended university of the number heard from .Strange as it may seem, however, the compilersof this interesting record do not appear to haveheard of the best attended university in the world;they do not give a place to it and they seem tothink that the 3,500 students of the university ofGreece constitutes an unequaled attendance. Thebiggest university in the world is at Cairo, Egypt­a country which is not mentioned at all in the Ger­man table-and -it has 11,000 students. Theycome from every part of the Mohammedan ,world,and they study Musselman law, history, theologyand other branches needed to confirm them in thefaith of Mohammed. They sit on the floor of anenormous court and study aloud, and the Westernvisitor who calls on them during study hours thinks­that he has struck the original site of the Tower ofBabel, and that the confused of tongue haven't stop­ped tal king yet.During the autumn quarter there were added tothe university libraries 2,019 books by purchase,777 by gift and eighty-nine volumes by exchange.As to the apparatus purchased, $2,829 was spentfor physics, $1,741 for chemistry, $832 for geologyand $ 1 7 5 for Morgan Park Academy.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Tennis Results,The tennis tournament is ended and Prescotthas again proven himself the champion of the U ni­versity. The contest has excited a great deal of in­terest, and as every game played was hotly contested,spectators have been amply repayed for time spentin watching the players. It was a source of regretthat N eel was unable to play in the singles. Hisaccident received in a foot ball game last fall un­fitted him for any active work. Torrey's work hasbeen good, but unfortunately his lack of nerve losthim points. In the games Saturday between Pres­cott and Torrey the latter was at his best in thefirst game, which he won, 6 to 3, but overplayedhimself and dropped the three following games.Prescott, too, played his best games in these-sets.The sets stood 6 to 3, I to 6, 0 to 6, I to 6. Pres­cott has been given a gold medal for winning theuniversity tennis championship of last year. Thefull scores of games of the winter tournament wereas follows:Preliminaries:Farr and Neff-Won by Neff, 6-3, 6-4 -.Hewitt and McGillivray-Won by McGillivray, 3-6 9-7,6-4·McGillivray and Torrey-Won by Torrey, 6-3, 7-5.Neff and Torrey-Won by Torrey, 6-3, 6-1.Allen against Ickis- W on by Allen, 6-0, 6-2.Dudley against Manchester-Won by Dudley, 3-6, 7-5,4-5·Allen against Dudley-Won by Allen, 4__:6, 8-6, 6-2.Prescott and N ewby- Won by Prescott, 6-0, 6-2.Cutting and Lansingh-Won by Lansingh, 6-1,6-1.Lansingh and Prescott-Won by Prescott, 6-4, 6-4.Twiggs against Ramsey-Won by Ramsey, 6-0, 6-1.Ramsey against Neel-Won by Ramsey by default.Caroway against Thacher-Won by Thacher.Thacher against Ramsey-Won by Ramsey, 6-0, 6-0.Semi-tinals:Allen against Torrey-Won by Torrey, 12-10 8-6,6-1.Ramsey against Prescott-Won by Prescott, 6-4,0--6, 2-63-6.Finals:Torrey against Prescott-Won by Prescott, 6-3, 1-6,0-61-6.The doubles were played Monday morning,Neel and Prescott winning over Rand and Bond,and Campbell and Ramsey. The championshipcups which will be presented N eel and Prescott areof a beautiful design and made of silver. Prescottreceives two, one as champion in singles, and theother as winner with Neel in the double contests.Track Athletics.The track team met Tuesday afternoon for theelection of a captain. Mr. Stagg presided, and ina brief talk, outlined the duties of the captain, andthe qualities which he should possess. He said thecaptain should be a man who was respected, andwho was willing to do a great deal of work. Hemust have influence with his men, and must under­stand and oversee their training, keeping a look 5out to see that they trained properly and did notbecome stale. He must divide the men into squadsand appoint the men to train them. The menmust train faithfully, eat carefully and sleep reg­ularly.The team will probably meet Northwestern,Madison, Lake Forest, Champaign and Ann Arbor.Mr. Harry Holloway was elected· captain withgre;t enthuiasm.Academic Social.The Academic ('Prom." given last Monday af­ternoon, proved a success in every way. It waswell attended by about fifty or more couples ofyoung people from the Academic colleges who tho­roughly enjoyed every moment from three to sevenP. M. Dancing was strictly in order. First theyoung people assembled on the second floor of theWindermere Hotel, at 56th street and Cornell Av­enue, and were introduced, after which a grandmarch to the spacious parlors on the second floorwas made by couples, and, after a winding marchabout the halls and parlors, dancing was indulgedin by all, when refreshments were served in thedining rooms.After the refreshments, dancing was again inorder. The party broke up shortly after six, afterhaving spent a most erij oyable afternoon. Notonly did a mutual acquaintance result from thismost pleasurable event, but it will encourage so­ciety in the University.Let us hope for many more such "proms." fromour students, which cannot fail to prove advanta­geous in many ways.The committee who had charge of the arrange­ments were: Messrs.

The advantages ofa postal station near the University are many, andevery member of our community will appreciate thechange. Postage stamps will not command a pre­mi um at the U ni versity as they have in the past,and angry students will have no need to rail againstthe "grasping policy of -the Press Office which re­fuses to deal in chattels (meaning P?stage stamps)for which it derives no revenue." A glad era iscome upon us, billets dou» and letters from the pa­ter famiiias containing the monthly allowance will,it is to be hoped, arrive at their destination so muchearlier than usual that the happy students will haveno cause for complaint against an inefficient postalservice. Duns and all manner of florists', confection­ers' and livery bills are expected to remain uncalledfor in the new 55th. Street office. In the past thiscomplain of lack of enthusiasm of their audience.There were no factions present to cheer individualor party choice to the excl usion of other contestants.Every good point made by a speaker was heartilyapplauded and when the judges announced their de­cision there was not one present who did not feelthat the award was just and wise. Mr. Lake is tobe congratulated upon his success. His oration wasa remarkably clear and forcible one and his treat­ment of his subject all that could be desired. Ofthe other speakers, the second choice, Mr. Peirce,handled his subject in a masterly manner. It willbe observed by consul ting tabulated markings thatthe final result was determined almost entirely bythe marks on thought and composition. Both Mr.Peirce, who received the highest per cent from thejudges of thought and composition, and Mr. Lakewho was placed second by those judges, were givenlower marks by the judges of delivery than Mr. At- ADVICES from Washington confirm the dis­patches which announced the change in thelocation of the Hyde Park Post Office fromFifty-third to Fifty-fifth Street.

Ill.THE ORATORICAL contest is an event of thepast. All the excitement and uncertainty ofthe days preceding the contest vanished withthe announcement of the result and we have resum-. ed the even tenor of every day life. The meetingwas a success from every point of view. The at­tendance was large, the auditorium of Kent Hallproving altogether too small to accommodate theSPRING is with us. The fact is shown not on­ly by occasional bursts 'of warmth and sunshinebut by the approach of the Easter vacation,and the vivid presence of the Easter examinations.As on the Day of Judgment, so now, the sheepwill be separated from the goats. Happily for theunfortunates most of them will be g-iven another tri­al to see if in the wild days of May and June theycan accomplish what they found too hard or too un-UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY"pleasant during long Winter evenings. It may notbe amiss here to call attention to the value of syste­matic study. Many students burn much midnight.oil in vain because they fail to concentrate work onessential points. Many paying but careless atten­tion to recitations, idly -hope that their natural ge- -nius and private toil, can give them what comes on­ly from class work supplemented by individual ef­fort. For such this week is a period of warning toprevent misapplication of future efforts. TheSpring likewise brings back to us out-door athletics.From monotonous cage practice the base ball play­ers go to the freer atmosphere of the open field.The tennis courts are filled with youths and maid­ens too, and let us hope that some succeeding yearwill, by the making of a water course . along theMidway, give aquatic sports their due prominence inour life.A- RUMOR to the effect that the committee onathletics from the faculty had- decided to denyany Students Athletic Association the rightto exist, caused much unfavorable talk among theinterested students last week. Investigation happi­ly proved the rumor to be false. - The committeehas- not yet reported and meantime nothing is beingdone. If an association is to be organized and putinto active operation during the coming season it isdesirable that some steps be taken at once. Itmight be advisable to suggest to the faculty boardon athletics that the base ball season opens May I st.and there is no time to be lost. Time is needed tomake an athletic organization, however perfect,work smoothly and well.THE GLEE Club has made no arrang-ementsfor an extended trip and will devote itself tothe .task of delighting the residents of Chicagoand neighboring Illinois towns. Monday eveningthe Club sang before a large audience on the WestSide. Next Monday evening a concert will begiven at Aurora, IiI. by the Glee and SerenadeCI ubs. Alfred Williams has resigned the positionof manager and Mr. Eastman, the leader, has themanagement at present. Other dates will be made,the larger cities in this State being visited.THE NEXT number of the WEEKLY will be is­sued March zoth., the issue of next week be­ing omitted according to custom. We wishevery member of the U niversi ty a pleasant vacationand a happy Easter. The Oratorical Contest.The battle is fought, the victory won. Chica-go's First Annual Oratorical Contest is now a mat­ter of history and we may take a just pride in itssuccessful outcome. Oratory has been inaugurated -in the U ni versity and with most gratifying resultsIn Mr. Lake, the winning competitor, the U niversi­ty of Chicago has a worthy delegate, an orator,well meriting the honor of representing her in theNorthern League. The decision of the judges ofthought and composition had been already handedin on the eve of the contest and the judges of deliv­ery were seated in different parts of the Hall, noconference being allowed. The music of the Gleeand Serenade Clubs was one of the especially corn-.mendable features of the evening, their selectionsinterspersed with the orations furnishing an agree­able variation from the more weighty entertainmentof the orators. Following is the program:The Serenade Club.1. The Golden Age of American LiteratureMR. F _ R. BARNES.II. Our Modern EducationMR. J. F. HOSIC.The Glee Club.III. The Higher PatriotismMR. E. V _ PEIRCE.IV. The Mission of the Anglo SaxonMR. S. D. BARNES.Serenade and Glee Clubs.V. Reasons for a New Political PartyMR. H. F. ATWOOD.VI. The Americanism of LincolnMR. E_ M. LAKE.Decision of the Judges.JUDGES OF THOUGHT AND COMPOSITlON:-Profs. NathanielButler, J L, George S. Goodspeed, Dr. E. H. Lewis.JUDGES OF DELIVERy:-Prof. E. M _ Booth, Col. F. W. Parker,Judge Henry M _ Sheppard.Kent Auditorium was crowded with students andtheir many friends who, despite the unfavorableweather, carne to cheer on their favorite contestantin his struggle for supremacy.After some music from the Serenade Club, Pres­ident Voight introduced Mr. F. R. Barnes, the firstspeaker. He was entirely at ease on the floor andspoke with a firm clear voice that could be distinct--Iy heard in every part of the house. His mannerwas earnest but lacked the impressiveness 'whichshould belong to an orator, probably due to the factthat his production was more in the style of an es­say than an oration.He held that the golden age of American lit­erature is near at hand, pointing to the vast amountof work in every field that offers scope to literarygenius, as an evidence. His arguments were good,his peroration being greeted with hearty applause.Mr. Hosic was well received and held the atten­tion of the audience throughout. His subject' 'Our'7UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLYaModern Education," was rather too materialistic toadmit of oratorical flights but he treated it in mas­terly fashion, holding up to ridicule the educationalmethods now in vogue, deploring the lack ofmorality and advocating a method which would aimto edify as well as i-nstruct. He held that moralculture was not progressing as rapidly as intellectu­al, the one advancing while the other was neglected,a highly deplorable state of affairs. Mr. Hosie'svoice is strong, his manner earnest and persuasivebut he lacks the grace of movement and gesture soessential to successful college orators ..The Glee Club was recalled twice, the audienceclearly showing their appreciation of the music bythe demonstration which followed each selection.Mr. Peirce's discourse on "The Higher Patriot­ism" cannot be too highly commended. It wasbeautifully written; the diction elegant, the senti­ments lofty and inspiring. In thought and style itwas almost perfection, indeed the unanimous deci­sion of the judges pronounced it such but delivery ishis weak point. His voice, while strong, shows'lack of cul tivation and his atti tude and gestures areawkward, a failing which only long practice willrernedy.. These defects should be overcome.Mr. Peirce was given second prize, his high pe r­centage on thought and composition offsetting thelower marks in delivery.Mr. S. D. Barnes delivered the oration on "TheMission of the Anglo Saxon." His manner wasrather rigid at first but he soon overcame this andspoke with more earnestness than any of his prede­cessors. He traced the growth and development ofthe Anglo Saxon race in many over distant seas andin divers climes. As he approached the climaxof his oration he was greeted with several rounds ofapplause.The Glee and Serenade clubs then appeared forthe last time. After the first number the audiencebecome clamorous in their requests for the "FootBall Song" with which the Glee Club made such ahit at the Music Hall concert. It was finally ren­dered to the great satisfaction of all.Then came the winner from the standpoint ofdelivery.Mr. H. F. Atwood. His oration was rathercrude in rhetorical style, but his earnest and im­pressive manner, strong, clear voice and persuasivepower went a great way towards counteracting it.Throughout his oration Mr. Atwood was over­whelmed with applause, and his points were wellbrought out. Mr. Atwood gave as a strong reasonfor the existence of a new party, the fact that theliquor curse is assuming· such gigantic' pro[ortionsthat some steps must be taken for its prevention, athing which neither of the present political partieswill do. He also advocated women's suffrage andmore restricted qualification for the suffrage of the foreign elements. Atwood impressed the audiencemore than any of his fellows.The commanding presence, graceful bearing andrich, clear voice of Mr. Lake, together with a sub­ject which gave scope to patriotic and lofty ideasinsured for him the trophy of victory. He sketchedin flowing style the prominent events in Lincoln'slife, relating in connection, some charming anecdotesof the great ex- president. ,. T. W.
