SHUTTERLY.e- Mr. Daniel Tyrrell, large - waist - coated, large­minded, florid and full-whiskered, supposed by theouter world to be merely a rich china-merchant, wasbetter known Yin private life as a singularly well-grownand delightful specimen of boy.He, as well as his wife-a little, motherly, lynx­eyed, sharp-nosed, mild-mannered, hot-tempered,thimble-smiting, jocular, irresistible jewel of a mother-and their roomy, dingy, square-elbowed house, ap­peared to be existing for the exclusive benefit of thefive youthful Tyrrells, the friends of theTyrrells, andtheir friends' friends. Many a profitless urchin, sneak­ing home from school with well-caned palms stillstinging in his pockets, has hailed the punctual, burlyform, elastic step, and wonderful sunshiny smile ofold Dan'l, with rapturous anticipation .. For old Mr.Tyrrell always came home at four o'clock; and oncein the house, he would cast his boots into distant cor­ners, seek out certain well-known slippers, take down,a perfect bolster-case of an old red gown, and become,to all intents, one of the most hilarious and unneces­sary of that unnecessary and hilarious tribe entitledboys.Enthroned upon a hassock or a doll-house, in thering chalked out on the long-suffering carpet of thebig front room, he would speak ex cathedra anentevery game within the memory of man. He wouldplay marbles-or line or ring species-from the sameelevation, being rather too far advanced in years androtundity to relish the usual posture; and so greatwas the terror of his skillful knuckle, that with theapproach of his turn there regularly recurred a panic-\ stricken rush to the ring, and a general replacing ofgaudy agates and cornelians with plebeian" commies."Every boy there knew, by sad experience, the terrificsplitting force of -that catapult shot!Mr. Tyrrell could construct the most gigantic andunheard of kites, decorated with staring beasts andbirds, and afterwards fly them with cord - approachingin size to a clothes-line. He could cut Roman char­iots out of calling-cards. He knew the rig and modelof every craft on the two rivers. He was the greatluminary of evening parties, when he would do theTalking Head or the Dancing Dwarf or construct anawe-inspiring elephant out of army blankets: Butthe boys agreed as one man that Mr. Tyrrell's spe­cialty, his most gorgeous and dazzling success, wasthe way he could read fairy tales.Night after night, those dear old cozy; indestruct­ible, boy-proof parlors would behold his grizzledhead-its wiry hair brushed up straight over eachear-and his twinkling eyes, and the great crimsonsack of a dressing-gown swinging clear from his broadshoulders as he navigated among the lively, juvenilegroups, much like a careful whale in a school of youngminnows.Presently he would settle down on the official woolsack, which, as before hinted, was usually foundstanding in mysterious circles chalked upon the floor.Even when seated, and with the book open in band,the rosy family enchanter would often take a heartlessadvantage of the audience by insisting that all thevarious pieces of furniture be turned right side up,'( elieved of gingerbread crumbs, and ranged againsUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.the wall, before one magic sentence should fall uponour longing ears. Thereupon would ensue a tremen­dous uprising of sofas, Katy Tyrrell "wiping up"with such energy that little curls of mop remainedtwisted round every table-leg, -'3. :;i1e the exhaustedhost sank down till the room looked like a battlefield.Then, indeed, 'old Dan'l would read!

Mr. Moore receives thefirst prize of $25 and the right to represent Illinois atthe National contest, t9 be held at Cleveland, Ohio,in July next. .The 'subject of the winning 'oration was "TheScourge of Our Republic." 'I'he purpose of the authorwas to impress his audience with the actual magnitudeof the liquor business, and the enormous power of "those interested in it; and to point out many of the. evils resulting from the traffic. He drew many vividpictures of the saloon and its influences. Mr. Moore'ssuccess was due especially, however, to the excellenceof his deli very.The contest was held in connection with the Stateconvention, which began on the r Sth and closedwith the contest. S. C. Mosser represented the localclub, and read before the convention a paper onthe subject: "College Education for Better Citizen­ship." Of the official plums distributed at the con­vention, Chicago secured the richest one, the treasurer­ship for W. S.

Theguests took luncheon Saturday with President Harperat Kelly Hall, and afterward were conducted through the buildings and laboratories. At 4: 30 a conferenc,,was held in the Faculty room.

BASSETT.Graduate Club Banquet.The Executive Committee of the Graduate Clubmet in the chapel last Friday and decided upon May24th as the date, and the Chicago Beach ho-tel as theplace, of holding the first q�arterly banquet. Presi­dent Harper has been invited to preside, and it isexpected that Rev. N. _D. Hillis will deliver the ad­dress of the evening. The occasion will be made asinformal as possible. An effort was made to secureaccommodations at more moderate rates, but theeffort was unsuccessful and one dollar per plate willbe the price of tickets.It is the purpose of the Club to hold a meeting andbanquet once during each quarter, except the summerquarter. The meeting in the fall quarter will becharacterized by special observances and be known asthe Annual Banquet, to which will be invited thehonorary members of the Club-members of the. fac­ulty and others. The first banquet also will include'the honorary members and a few invited guests. Aletter of explanation and invitation will soon be is­sued to the whole Club._ Death of James A. Morgan.The Divinity School of the University has sustaineda loss in the death of James A. Morgan. He was agraduate of Franklin College, and was completing hissecond year in the University. He and his wife andsister expected to go as missionaries to Africa.Mr. Morgan was an unassuming and gentle, yet pos­itive and persistent man, who quietly carried through- 293,whatever he undertook. He was unselfish in hisdealings with his fellows-keeping in view constantlythe great interests of the Christian religion, to theadvancement of which he had entirely consecratedhimself.As a result of his native traits of character and hisunvarying sweetness of disposition, which was shownat all times, he had many friends.The taking off of one so zealous in good works, andso peculiarly fitted for certain important fields from ahuman point of view, is especially sad, and can onlybe trusted to the all-wise Father, who makes no mis­takes.Memorial services were held Thursday afternoon atfive o'clock, in the University chapel. 'Addresseswere made by President Harper, Dean Hulbert andProfessor Moncrief.Henry Colby Stillwell.The Divinity School was again bereaved by thedeath last Thursday, of Henry Colby Stillwell, at hishome in Dayton, O. At the funeral, which occurredSunday, the faculty of the University was representedby Prof. E. D. Burton, the Divinity School by A. S.Smith, and the Denison Club by E. B. Kinney. Mrs.Z. A. Dixon, a personal friend and distant relative"also attended.Mr. Stillwell graduated from Denison University in'84, with the degree of S. B., after which he studieda year in the Boston Institute of Technology, and,returning to Dayton, took the position of foreman inthe manufactory of computing scales, operated by hisfather. While in Dayton he labored zealously in be­half of a small mission church, building an edifice,and meeting with such marked success that he deter­mined to devote the remainder of his life to work forothers. He accordingly gave up his business to enterthe Divinity School of the 'University, April 1, 1895,with the purpose of preparing himself for charitableand philanthropic work. For two months he laboredat the University Settlement, living there most of thetime.The death of his sister called him home to Daytonlast December, and very shortly after returning hehimself was taken with the sickness from which hefinally died. It was a very peculiar case of pneu­monia and his athletic frame, weakened by confine­ment at his sister's bedside, was unable to resist thedisease.Mr. Stillwell was a successful business man, aninventor, and a student of rare ability and attainment.There was a quality of sincerity and consecration and­unselfishness in his character that gave him theesteem and confidence' of all who knew him in a quiteunusual degree.paratory school, and certain other appendages thathave no organic connection with the university, areincluded, nevertheless, in the enrollment, in orderto swell the grand total of attendance. A preparatoryschool cannot be considered a part of a legitimate uni­versity, whether located on the grounds or 1,000 miles'away. Such procedure would establish a false stand­ard, if generally followed, and does act, at the presenttime, to the disadvantage of those institutions not fol­lowing it. If this method were adopted by all theuniversities and colleges in the country the abovementioned list would be much longer, and the relativepositions of the institutions as to the number of stu­dents in attendance would be considerably changed.SATURDAY'S baseball game has been the occa­sion of rejoicing on the part of every memberof the University, from President Harper, whointerrupted the proceedings of the college presidentsSaturday evening to announce the score, down to thehumblest freshman. The treatment which Griffithreceived at the hands of our batters was the remark­able feature of the game. A certain uncanny charmhad attached to that wizard's curves, but Saturday'stwenty hits dissipated all that. Neither Griffith norNichols, it is true, were in form. It is too early in theseason. Griffith in the course of a few weeks willpitch a very different game from Saturday's. Never­theless, it is safe to say that he will never again be­wilder Chicago's batters. the way he did last year.That our te�m this year is stronger throughout thanever before was made perfectly evident.Chicago has cause to feel proud of her representa­tion at the game. It was one of the largest delega­tions �e have ever sent down to invade the primevalsolitudes of Evanston, and the crowd (especially afterthe first inning) enjoyed itself immensely. But theextent to which its enthusiasm expressed itself inI I guying)' was greatly to be regretted. The personaltaunts and gibes that were cast at the players bor­dered upon the discourteous and unkind. Theseremarks, good-natured and witty though they were,carried a personal sting, many of them, that would farbetter have been absent. In saying this, we do notexcuse the Evanstonians who set the examplein thefirst inning and who vied with our own men in hurl­ing personalities at the players. , It is greatly to behoped that this habit that we are falling into will bestopped, and that we will not thus lightly throwaway�94 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLYPUBLISHED WEEKLY IN THE INTEREST OF THE STUDENTS OF THEUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOEDITORIAL BOARD.FRANK W.

It springs from a certain feeling offellowship and interdependence. It cannotbe put 011 from the outside but must be an expressionof certain conditions within. We must become ac­quainted with and interested in one another before wecan have a true college spirit. The problem here nowis not how to awaken college spirit; the problem issimply one of getting acquainted and of binding thestudents together with bonds of common interest.When once we know each other, college spirit willtake care of itself.Peculiar difficulties, however, confront us. Therecency of the advent of all of us and the great quar­terly influx of new students make of this a hardproblem, which is rendered the more so by thepeculiarities of our system and especially by theabsence of classes. The faculty has it in their powerto do much toward its solution. Pardon a practicalsuggestion.A few of the professors have made it a custom toinvite their classes as classes to their homes eachquarter. We wish that this might become a far moregeneral custom. We have, to be sure, an abundanceof receptions. But they are formal and unsatisfactoryaffairs and fail largely of their purpose. They affordno common bond of interest to draw those attendingtogether. But at a class gathering the situation isdifferent. The guests are already well on the waytoward acquaintance. Their relations in class havealready awakened a certain mutual interest and putupon each a personality, known to his fellows. Thefact that they are all pursuing a common study underthe direction of their host gives point to the occasion 295and simplifies the problem of entertainment, and theevening may easily be made to bear upon the work ofthe term in such a way as to be of real profit.In no other way, it seems to us, can the problem ofunification and college spirit be attacked so practically.And not alone would the life of many a student faraway from the privileges of home life thus be bright­ened. Not alone would students be brought nearertogether and a true college spirit fostered. Theinstructor on his side would thus arouse greaterinterest in his subject and secure better work on thepart of his classes, and would also make his taskpleasant by the esteem and personal loyalty of hispupils. By opening their homes to their classes assuch, the faculty can do much to deepen and enrichour University life.The Weekly's Improvements.THE WEEKLY takes pardonable pride in announc­ing that it has successfully passed through the periodof spring house-cleaning and has emerged" beautiful. and bright as born to rule the storm."

Hering's work at short stop was notwhat it should have been, but as it was his first ap­pearance in this difficult position, he deserves someleniency in judgment. Winston at third had twoerrors but his playing was not particularly bad, but aswas the case with Hering, the company seemed to berather fast for them, still it is safe to predict that bylittle hard practice, and the wearing off of the" stagefright" both will appear to advantage as the 'seasonprogresses. Barring one unimportant error, Cap­tain Abells on the initial bag played a strong game,but was unfortunate at the bat in placing the ball inthe wrong spots. Adkinson at second was at-his bestand accepted every chance without an error, and wasalso effective with the stick.The game started with N �rthwestern at the bat.Ward) the first man up, flew out to Adkinson, andKedzie singled. Sickles sent the ex-Yale man homeby a two base hit, and an error by Winston gave Grif­fith first. Sickles scored on Hausen's safe hit, leavingtwo men on bases. Jenks sent both home by a twobagger and the suburbanites went promptly into hys­terics, which was repeated a few minutes later by theChicago contingent. The first baseman was caughtnapping at second and McWilliams flew out to Grant.Nichols, the first man up for the' Varsity, cooled theardor of the Northwesterns by sending the sphereclean to the fence for a double. Jones and Abellsstruck out and Adkinson got his base on balls, andHering his on an error by Sickles. Clark stepped tothe plate with a merry twinkle in his eye, and thefirst ball over the plate was sent sailing towardsWaukegan, and aided by an error Clark himself camein, after some daring base running. The 'Varsitydelegation yelled and kept it up when Northwesternwas retired without a run in the next inning. Grantstopped one of Griffith's inshoots with the small of hisback in the second, and. the small boy in the tr�eoutside the fence slid from his perch as Nichols cameto bat. The ball, however, was stopped by the fenceand Grant came in. So did six more before theinning closed and there were loud calls for Sickles.Three men only came to bat for Northwestern in thethird, and Chicago added one run in their half.Three hits and a brace of errors gave Northwesternfive runs in the fourth. They accumulated four moreduring the game but were unable to overcome the biglead of the visitors. Chicago scored in every inningand had ten earned runs to their credit. A feature ofthe game was the uniformly good umpiring of Tin­dill. Not a single kick was made against his decis­ions by either side, and instead of the customaryjeering which this official usually receives, he wasactually cheered.296 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Chicago, 23-Northwestern, 13.The baseball season for the University began inearnest last Saturday, with the game at Evanstonbetween the 'Varsity and Northwestern University.Captain Abells and hiscolts took the redoubt­able Evanstonians intocamp by a score of 23to 13.The day was an idealone for the game, anda large crowd greetedthe two teams. The'Varsity sympathizerswere more numerousthan had ever been thecase away from home,and the del ega t i onyelled and cheered aslong as their voiceslasted, and after thevocal chords had be­come contracted, theenthusiasm found ventin stamping and throw­ing their hats and canesskyward. That therewas good grounds forenthusiasm will be evident to the most skeptical bya look at the score. The game was not close, andat the same time not particularly one-sided, for hitsand runs, on both sides, were thicker than the Easterbonnets in the grand stand, and the antics of thefielders lent a diversion to the spectators, equal to athree ring circus.Both pitchers were hit hard but Nichols seemed tohave the best of the argument. Griffith, the phenom­enal left-hander, had hard work in locating the plate,and when he did the result was almost invariably asafe hit. The 'Varsity pounded the Cleveland pitcherfor twenty hits with a total of twenty-nine bases. Ofthese, Grant, who has- been considered a weak batter,secured just one-fifth of the total hits made. Nicholsalso batted in good form, making three two baggers,and Clarke and Adkinson each secured three hits.Jones had two passed balls against him, but otherwisesupported Nichols in good style and made a brilliantF.
