UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Single Copies10 Cents. VOL. III, No. 34.CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, JUNE 6, 1�95.THL WeSTeRN !\ THLeTIC MeeT.Tbe second annual Western Intercollegiate AthleticMeet is a thing of the past, with the team from acrossthe Rockies easy winners. The University ties withthe University of Iowa for fifth place, each having 10points to their credit, with a possible change in thestanding of the colleges when the final report of the'judges is in. The ruling out of Le Roy and Hall ofthe U ni versity of Michigan may change the finalstanding of several colleges.Much fault is found with the executive committeein not passing on the protests on Friday evening whenall of the cases were in the hands of the committee.It seems extremely unfortunate that i'n other ways sosuccessful a meet should end up in a squabble of thiskind, especially when as a good many think it couldhave been avoided. Michigan as a result threatens towithdraw from the association. There seems to be nodoubt but that both Hall and Le Roy are profession­als under the rulings of the Amateur Athletic Union,and many, neutral to the point in question, commendthe stand taken by the committee and believe that therebuke for- alleged" ringing" in of professionals willhave a wholesome effect in purifying western ath­letics.Leaving out these two incidents the meet was anunqualified success. The management of the gameswas excellent, and Mr. Cornish deserves much creditfor his part in the games, as clerk of course. A goodstaff of judges were on hand and no wrangle occurred.The strictness which the judges exercised over thesmallest infringement on the rules must be commendedby all.The 'Varsity had a large delegation on hand tocheer any maroon contestants who were lucky enoughto gain a point. Bachelle won the bicycle race overHall of Illinois by about four yards. Johnson waslooked on as a winner in the mile walk but he evi­dently mistook his man and allowed Merwin of Cali­fornia to pass him on the home stretch. Had Johnsonset the pace little swifter at the beginning of the lastlap he should have come in an easy winner. Hersch­berger broke his own record in the pole vault by threeinches, and Culver, of Northwestern, broke the west­ern record by clearing the pole 10 feet 10 inches. Hall, of Michigan, also broke the western record inthe shot put by sending the sixteen-pound shot 44 feet% of all inch. Le Roy, also of Michigan, broke therecord in the broad jump by 22 feet 7Yz inches. Bothof the last two events, however, were thrown out andCochenis of Wisconsin, and Woolsey of California, re­spectively, received the first places in these contests.John V. Crum of Iowa State, as was expected, car­ried off the 100 and the 220 yards dashes. Stuart ofSt. Albans in the 100 yards dash, and Maybury, ofWisconsin in the 220 gave the Hawkeye sprinter ahard tussle. Hodgman, of Michigan, run the q uar­ter mile in the fast time of : 50 3-5 seconds. Theweather was all that could be wished for to the con­testants, with a slight shower in the forenoon to laythe dust, but the 5,000 people in the grand standsweltered with the thermometer standing at 920 in theshade.The standing of the different colleges is as fallows:.d ..cJ'"ci v ci ec 0en ui 2 :E I-<M ;: c::: ;: ....; .0COLLEGES. � :>, ci <l)eo � �..cJ '@ rcl rcl CJ ;:l rcl ;z rcl ::: ":3 >=I <l)I-< ::: I-< I-< :0 I-< I-< I-< '8 '" '8 E1'" ;:ll '" '" ;:l '" :>- �:>, � �I i> � � :>, � :>, >=I <l) ;::l E ....;6 � � 6 0.� §1 '� '� � ::: '0 ;:l '" � 0::; co � :l< � ;I:1 if) t-<co- - - - - - - - - - - --California ...........

Zulamith, with sturdy heart, began a bridge of lightTo span the space between them-he toiled with love's ownmight;And Salami the Beautiful, from her lone house afar,She too began to build a bridge,-a pathway to his star.A thousand years, the legend says, they toiled both day andnight,Until the Milky Way was made, a wondrous bridge of light.The augel's all were filled with dread at what they deemed aguilt,But the Father said, "I'll not cast down what such true lovehas built."And Salami and Zulam ith straight rushed, each from his sun,And when they met in love's embrace, they melted into one,And now became the brightest star in Heaven's great archabove,-Great Sirius, the Mighty,-a monument of love.Thus all who on our earth have loved, with hearts so true andglad,And have perchance been torn apart bysin or death, so sad,Sual l meet again and mingle souls in everlasting bliss,Have they the faith to build a bridge between that world andthis. H. A. P.College Press Convention.The regular annual convention of the Western Col­lege Press Association took place last Friday underthe auspices of the ·WEEKLY. Three meetings wereheld. The principal business transacted, beside theelection of officers, was the adoption of a revised con­stitution. Among other provisions the new constitu­tion requires an initiation fee of one dollar with annualdues of fifty cents from each journal represented. Asystem of regular correspondence among the journalsin such a manner that discussion may be had upontopics of importance to the college was decided upon.At the election of officers the UNIVERSITY OF CHI­CAGO WEEKLY was chosen president, the Pleiad, vice­president, the /Egis of the University of Wisconsin,secretary, and the Daily Cardinal, chairman, of theexecutive committee.In the evening, refreshments were served on thecampus, and a program of papers was read by dele­gates and followed by informal discussion. Frank W.Woods of the WEEKLY read a paper on the" CollegeWeekly," containing a statement of its field and policywith practical suggestions and an arraignment of theconventional "exchange" column that provoked alively discussion. I'-A. LeRoy's paper on "News­getting on a College Daily" described the systemused on the University o.f Mithi"gan Daily, of which heis editor. Being unable to appear personally becauseof his duties with his track team, his paper was readUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY,by another. Following this came a paper by W. T.Arndt, editor-in-chief of the Wisconsin Daily Cardi­nal, on the" Western College Press Association," anda description of the system and method of the Cardi­nal, which differs quite radically from that of the Uni­versity of ll£ichigan Dai£v was given by J. B. Sanborn,its managing editor. Altogether, thej.evening wasone of interest and profit.Through the kindness of Manager Cornish, a freebox in the grand stand was tendered the associationfor .the athletic meet Saturday. A similar favor wasgranted by Mr. Butterworth, for the Wisconsin gamein the morning.Senior Class Week.The Senior Class, at a meeting held at PresidentHarper's Home on Tuesday evening, May 28th, madefinal plans for the celebration of Senior Class week.By a recent action of the Council, all those who com­plete the undergraduate course are excused from ex­aminations in all subjects pursued during the last quar­ter of residence. This gives examination week to theprospective graduates to be used in celebration.The following plan has been adopted: Mondayevening will be filled by an entertainment givenjointly by the Seniors and the University College, andwill be called the" Finals." This event is of a mys­terious and delightful character, and if the presentplans are carried out will be a feature of the week.On Tuesday afternoon, June r Sth , the class willcelebrate" Quadrangle Day" on the campus. A pro­gram of varied and interesting nature is being pro­vided for this occasion. Mr. Harry Howard is chair­man of the committee having this matter in charge.On Wednesday evening, June roth, at the HotelWindermere, the. class will give the annual "classbanquet," to which all graduating at the January,spring, summer and fall convocations of 1895 are in­vited. Miss Lucy F. Pierce will read the class poem;Miss Irene Robinson the history, and Mr. Heil, theprophecy. At the class banquet Paul F. Carpenterwill preside as toastmaster, and the following willprobably respond to toasts: Messrs. Moran, Roosa,Howard, Lamay, Woods, Curtis, Webster and MissesHamilton, Boomer, Mary Lewis and Dougherty.On Friday evening, June 21St, President Harper willgive a reception at his residence to the outgoing sen­iors.The class also voted to attend in a body in cap andgown the "vesper service," and the first chapel serv­ice of the Quarter.The following will take degrees at the July convo­cation, provided that the work of the present quarteris satisfactorily completed:Anna Lewis Adams (A.

B.)Miss Talbot's Food Laboratory.Since much attention has been given to -Kent andRyerson laboratories, it will be of interest to learn con­cerning the new food laboratory in Beecher Basement.The work here is directly under the control of Assist­ant Professor Marion Talbot, and her class in the studyof food analysis, is, at present, resolving ordinary foodsinto their constituents, and determining the amountof fats, carbohydrates, proteids and minerals in each.The laboratory is well fitted with apparatus, all ofwhich is interesting. The food museum, used forillustration, consists of a system of bottles showingthe quantities and qualitative composition of variousarticles of food.Opposite the bottles is a chart, showing what anaverage person's daily diet should be. The figuresare these:LES..40 proteids (muscle forming foods) .. 100 starch..40 fats..10 minerals.1.90 (dry).The laboratory is a place where foods are testednot only in regard to their nutrition, but apparatushas been secured by which, from the application ofheat to food, principles may be studied. This is adecided advantage, and with these ovens the Iabora­tory is now complete in its equipments.Facilities for Travelers.The Nickel Plate Road now offers greater facilitiesto the traveling public than ever, the improved servicehaving been inaugurated May r oth.

It was so tnuch of a success that the. regular editors take up the pen again with nolittle trepidation. Perhaps no other literary event inthe history of the University has aroused so much in­terest as did the Women's Edition of the WEEKLY.The different big city dailies had no less than a dozenarticles concerning it before and after its appearance.THE WEEKLY'S attention has been called to adouble leaded, "sca�e-head " article in a certainsociety paper in which the editor exhibits un­mistakable signs of rabies over the baseball victorycelebration upon the campus. These periodical at­tempts of local patent-inside sheets to manufacture SA TURDA Y morning saw the worst playing thatour baseball team has done this season. The'field was fairly ablaze with the heat and theboys, who arrived after two hot and sleepless nightson the train barely in time for the game, stood aroundthe field with their arms hanging listlessly by theirsides, unable to force enough life into themselves toplay the game. The rather small attendance in thegrand stand did not give them any help, but was evi­dently also overcome by the heat. It is now clearlyseen to have been a mistake to have the game comeas it did and to have broken up the infield by puttingNichols, who has not pitched a ball for three weeks,but has been playing at catch and short, into the box.THE presence of the Western College Press Asso­ciation among us last week was a real pleasure.. The WEEKLY was glad to hav,e the opportunityof knowing its fellow editors of the West. The col­lege press is a great and influential institution andembodies in its members the brightest college men ofthe country. It is a pleasant and valuable thing tomeet together from time to time and exchange viewsand talk over methods. This year's annual meetingof the Western College Press Association was smallerin attendance and more indefinite in action than itwould have been, had the occasion been worked upmore thoroughly beforehand and better advertised.Steps have been taken to make next year's conventionan event of very great interest and real value to col­lege editors, It is to be hoped that the time of meet­ing will be placed earlier in the year, near Christmasor Thanksgiving, for example, so as to make it of prac­tical usefulness to those in the midst of the work,instead of at the end, and so that the editors attendingwill know of the Association and be in a position towork for its interests and profit from its helpfulness.IT. should be clearly impressed upon the patriotism'of every member of the University that unless wecan send a good company of "rooters" to AnnArbor for the game with Michigan, our chances ofvictory will be greatly lessened. Michigan felt verykeenly the signal defeat which we gave her team.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.She is determined to win the next game. The wholeUniversity will be out jeering our men and yelling fortheir players.Before the last game with Michigan, every man ofus was confident of victory. A comparison of theprevious games had shown that our team was thestronger. The West has never seen a team that canbat like ours. Yet Michigan has been practicinghard and has improved since her game with us. Andit will take hard work to make our victory decisive.Meanwhile let us secure special rates and agitatefor a large crowd to go up with the boys and help winthe game.MESSRS. Neel and Bond, congratulation!Su�ely it was an exhilarating sight to see twoChicago men play each other for the cham­pionship, all the other colleges having been left bythe wayside. Chicago has again won �he WesternIntercollegiate championship in tennis and won iteasily. What if we didn't take the lead this year atthe Athletic Meet! We have won in tennis. Wecame so near the top in football last fall as to make aprophecy for next season of the very head. In base­ball, we have had an almost unbroken record of vic­tories, and have WOll one of the two championshipgames and confidently expect to win the other. Fora year or so, at any rate, we can't expect to takeeverything above ground. California can win intrack and field athletics, but she can't beat anybodyat baseball. We can wait. With' the progress wehave been making since the University started,scarcely three years ago, we can afford to wait. Itwon't take long.THE WEEKLY takes pleasure in extending heartycongratulation to ,our friends of the far West,who so easily won first honors in Saturday'SWestern Intercollegiate Athletic Meet. They are aroyal set of fellows and made a magnificent showingin spite of their long and hard trip. California en­tered upon an unparalleled undertaking in decidingto send her athletes across the continent to compete inthe great meets of the East and she should be proudof the success of her venture and of the fine showingof her men. She would have met with even moresignal success had she been .able to enter more menin the Eastern meets with whom to win seconds and. thirds, as well as firsts.• 369All in all, Saturday'S meet was a great occasion andraised the standard of Western track athletics verymuch. The Association will have the effect of de­veloping the West in a short time to the positionwhich the East now occupies in such events. Thepresent rate of progress need only to be kept up for afew years. Chicago made a creditable showing, gain­ing ten points and taking a rank of fifth. In Hirsch­berger we have a coming record breaker in pole-vault­ing, Bachelle, who gave up the road race in orderto represent the University in the bicycle race has theappreciation of the students for his splendid work onthe track. Johnston made a great walk and woulduridoubtedly have won had he spurted sooner.The most significant feature of the occasion was thedisqualification of two of Michigan's men for profes­sionalism. There is something wrong about thespirit of an institution that will consent to slip in menlike Le Roy and Hall and pitcher Sexton into theirathletics.GRADUATING week is to be fittingly cele­brated. The WEEKLY congratulates the"ninety-fivers" on the interest and energythey are showing in this matter. A graduation, with­out more sentiment and romantic association. than themarching up of the victim, pale and trembling, in ablack gown, to have a roll of paper tied with a maroon.ribbon thrust into his hand, while he surveys the audi­ence for one awful second and then is gone, is but aslim affair. The students themselves should" do some­thing-should have their class day' and tree-plantingand banquet, and all the other beautiful customs ofthe commencement occasion, which the example of thegenerations gone have hallowed. This quarter grad­uation, if the present plans are carried out,' is-to bemade a charming affair. The time is short, but a lit­tle bard work and enthusiasm will make the history,of' 95 glorious as an establisher of precedents. ·TheCouncil has the appreciation 0[. the seniors and allwho expect to be seniors in the future for deciding toexcuse the graduating class from final examinationsin order to have a "Senior Class Week." PresidentHarper is winning a warm place in the hearts of hisbig family by the kindly interest he shows in the lessserious sides of student life.The Chi Phi fraternity house at Amherst was damaged byfire recently.

Shephardson has returned from Indianapolis,where he arranged for five extension courses of six lectureseach, to be given on Friday evening extending from October tothe middle of May.\UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO' WEEKLY.Baseball.The trip to Omaha turned out rather disastrouslyfor our team. Two games were to have been playedon Decoration Day, but the late arrival of the 'Varsityteam cut the first game down to six innings, and theafternoon game was stopped in the fourth inning onaccount of rain. The score in the forenoon W:;l.S 6 to1,1 in our favor with Brown in the box. In the after­noon game neither side scored. To fill the engagementthe' team staid over until Friday when the 'Varsityteam went under the quicksand by a score of 12 to I I.The exuberant cowboys fell on to Clarke's curves ina reckless fashion, and in the seventh, the professorhimself went in to stem the tide, but to no purpose.The Omaha's had already got a taste of gore, and theodoriferous bre�zes from the " m�ddy river" seemedto have an ·exhilarating influence on the namelesstribe. A triple and two singles in succession put thegame beyond the ken of the professor's vision, andchanting softly to' himself, " Man wants but little herebelow, " he sadly left the gory field with some scalplocks he didn't get.The team's success on the plains in "shooting thechutes" stimulated them to still greater effort on thehomegrounds, and Wisconsin had the board greasedso nicely that while the 'Varsity was having fun onthe slide the Badgers sent sixteen men around thebases.

'N eel and Bond had it all their own- way in theWestern Intercollegiate Tennis Tournament lastWednesday and Thursday. The games were playedon Kenwood's county club tennis courts. In spite ofthe very warm weather a goodly number of tennisenthusiasts from the University were present andmany Kenwood people viewed the sport from the clubhouse veranda ..The playing of the 'Varsity champions was brilliantthroughout, and the clever and accurate placing ofNeel was frequently applauded. Scott Bond showeda great improvement over last year and in these twothe University can pride itself of, having two of the'best players in the Vl est. Efforts should be made tosend the winners East this summer, and there is' no'reason why the University should not have her ownrepresentatives at the eastern tournaments..Albion's .representatives turned up unexpectedlystrong, and Weeks, of Knox, did some pretty smash­ing. Street, of Northwestern, made a game fightagainst Bond in the semi-finals, but his staying qual­ity was not the best and he weakened perceptiblytoward the close of the last set.. N eel had an easytime with Hughitt, of Wisconsin, and also disposed ofWeeks, of Knox, by the score of 6-1, 6-2. Weeks,however, died hard.In the doubles Payne and Maywood, of Albion, con­fronted Neel and Bond in the firsts. Previously to thisChicago had beaten Knox and Wisconsin, 6-1, 6-2,'and 6-0 respectively, and Albion had vanquishedNorthwestern. The. Albion players put up a desper­ate game, but succumbed to the greater skill of the'Varsity men, losing by a score of 6-3, 6-1, 6.:._I.The finals between Bond and N eel were full of serisa-Itional plays.Each player both lawford and smashed, and forawhile the honors seemed to be even, but Neel's long'experience and sure placing told against his opponent..Minnesota and Michigan were expected, but did notput in an appearance .The summaries follows:Neel, of Chicago, beat Hughitt, of Wisconsin, 6--I, 6-2.. Bond, of Chicago, beat Thornton, of Lake Forest, 6-4,6-2.Street, of Northnestern, f1efeated Maywood, of Albion, 6-I,6-3·Weeks, of Kriox, defeated Burt, of Nortlrwestern , 7-.,;..5, 3--'-'.6� --6-3· 371UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Minnesota defaulted to Cushing, of Knox.Paine, of Albion, . defeated Coulter, of Lake Forrest, 6-2,6-2.SEMI- FINALS.Bond defeated Manson, of Wisconsin, 6-1, 6-4.Street, Northwestern, defeated Cushing, of Knox, 6-1, 6-4.Minnesota defaulted to Neel.Chicago beat Knox 6-1, 6-2.Northwestern beat Lake Forest 6-2, 6-1.Chicago beat Wisconsin 6-1, 6-0.Albion beat Northwestern 7-5, 6-0.Weeks of Knox defeated Paine of Albion 6-2, 6-4.Nee! defeated Weeks, of Knox, 6--1, 6-2.Bond defeated Street, of Northwestern, 7-5, 6-0.FINALS.Neal and Bond, of Chicago, defeated Paine and Maywood, ofAlbion, 6-3, 6-1, 6-1.Neel defeated Bond, 6-3, 6-1, 6-4.The" Ship=Ahoy" Yell.Among the yells of the U. of M. boys at the Satur­day athletic meet was one that originated near theUniversity last year. After the strike was over theboys of the Naval Militia who were on duty, with the" Illinois" as their headquarters, went into rapturesover the prospects of a square meal. The result oftheir exuberance was the yell :Ship-Ahoy, Ship-Ahoy,We're the boys of the Illinois,Ham, coffee, hard-tack, beans-Hoo-ray.The reference to ship fare probably describes board­ing-house fare at Champaign, and the wild cry" Ship­Ahoy" is often heard on the swampy roads near thecampus.New Plan for Admission.A radical change was made by the faculty Saturdayfor admitting students to the Academic college. It isproposed to appoint teachers or others identified withhigh schools or preparatory schools as advisory exam­iners of the U ni versi ty. The permission to thisscheme must yet recieve the sanction of boards of ed­ucation, but no trouble on this score is anticipated bythe University authorities, as it would accrue to thebenefit of scholars living at a distance from the Uni­versity.An Accomplished Fact.May r cth the Nickel Plate Road inaugurated a newtrain service. The new summer schedule affords thesame number of trains as before, including throughservice between Chicago, Cleveland, Buffalo, NewYork and Boston. The improvements also embracethe shortening of time of trains between all of theabove cities. City Ticket Office, I I I Adams street,Tel. Main 389. Depot, r zth and Clark streets, Tel.Harrison 200.

Shoemaker, a divinity student, wasbitten in the scalp by a vicious horse, and it was necessary fora physician to sew up the wound. The other accident was dueeither to the heat, wind and dust, or to the "late unpleasant­ness" with the police and fire departments. An undergradu­ate student exasperated an officer by not observing with duealacrity the sign, "keep off the grass," and was assisted off ina summary fashion by the officer. Considerable unnecessaryforce was nsed by the officer and the student objected. An al­tercation ensued and the patrol was called. The student waslet ont on bail over night, but at the hearing the next morninga small fine was imposed and then suspended. According tothe testimony of witnesses the officer was certainly at fault,and a better decision by the judge would have been to suspendthe policeman. A Trip to the Catskills..
