The procession formed at Walker Museum,and being increased in numbers by the differentalumni assembled at Ryerson and Kent Laboratories,marched to the stand to the music of Hand's orches­tra. . Prayer was offered by the Chaplain, Rev. H. C.Herring, pastor of the Hyde Park PresbyterianChurch.The convocation address was then delivered byEmil G. Hirsch, Ph.D., pastor of Sinai Congregationand Professor of Semitics in the University. Dr.Hirsch's subject, "The American University," wastreated with his characteristic skill and profoundscholarship. The address itself is a model of Eng­lish and, being read in a full, rich and distinct voice,to the end held the concentrated attention of the en­tire audience. In substance it consisted of a reviewof the past and present of higher learning in America,and an outline of the American University as it.is tobe, in its relations to the life of this and other nations,and in its responsibilities> and great possibilities. Be­low is a summary: with frequent quotations of theaddress..' .,THE CONVOCATION ADDRESS.The American University is beginning to take shape. Itmust necessarily be unlike any European model, since it hasdifferent historical conditions and different environment."These historical conditions cannot be ignored. They areroots of power. The last decade of our century augurs sowell for our nation because it proclaims the independence ofthe American University, as confidently as did the fourth quarter of the eighteenth compel recognition for the politicalautonomy of the republic by the nations of the earth.""He who would be for American education, the Jefferson toherald the liberating word and intone the birth song of a newfreedom, will consciously or unconsciously pursue paths analo­gous to those which the framers and signers of the declarationof our political independence chose for their confession offaith."The relation of the government to the university in Amer­ica differs from the relation of European governments to Eu­ropean universities. ,. Even our state universities, in view ofcertain wen-known peculiarities of our present political life,cannot congratulate themselves upon being the objects of thegoveru�ent's anxiety in the sense in which Berlin or Heidel­berg may do so. They have good cause to be thankful thatthe attention paid them by the state legislature is not more in­tense; the suspicion is well grounded that they would lookupon too frequent an inspection by a legislative committee asin more than one way a-visitation. The great and gloriouswork done by many ofthe state universities, one is safe to say,is not in consequence but in spite of the attention of the legis­latures. The folly of slavish imitations of transatlantic uni­versity methods and models is apparent if no other factor beweighed than our antipodal temporal situation."A higher reason for the creation of the American universityis the need for educational independence. The transmissionof knowledge, formerly deemed the sole function of the so­called university, is no longer so considered. "The emanci­pation of the American university from slavery to this preju­dice was the final triumph over scholasticism, which defeatedelsewhere had found its last refuge in our American schoolmethods. Truth is not a fixed quantity. No truth is revealedto man-but in the fullness of time. And the truth found byone generation cannot limit the curiosity nor blunt the desirefor more truth of the next. Tradition as a living force, not asa dead weight, is conditional to progressive life. Repetitionand transmission of things known are not final operations.The storehouse of things known supplies data from which to402 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.proceed to the finding of new things as yet unknown. Theschoolman made the book supreme; the sun aronnd which onrthought swings is man and life. The book is made by and forman, not man by the book or for the book."The successive stages in the development of the Germanuniversity, and its failnres and success, was then discussed."The modern German university has remained true to thespirit animating from the days of the Reformation its lustrouscareer. As long as scholasticism wielded the scepter in ourAmerican colleges, the German university could not but.be theblessed Mecca for the young and ambitious among us thirstingfor freedom and opportunity. To those that in body or in thespirit made this pilgrimage, we owe on this side of the oceanthe dismantling of the citadel of scholasticism, garrisoned inour methods and institutions. They have in tearing down theChinese wall of anthority and book worship to make room forman in American education, won for America a new independ­ence. Germany and Europe to-day are no longer the onlyshrines the young' scholar must visit. His own country haserected and equipped the arsenals where he may weld hisknightly armor."The American scholar is now before infinite seas of knowl­edge. "The university professor-and so is ·th_e universitystudent-is the Columbus of unknown seas, the Livingstone ofunvisited contineuts. What he knows, is for him an indicationof what still remains unknown. What others have found, .must always suggest to him that more things are hidden wait­ing for the explorer's eye! "To the American University are now open, for original in­vestigation, the vast resources of the knowledge of the world."The Ame�ican scholar is no stranger in the papal library;his fingers have turned often the catalogue of the British Mu­seum and handled its parchments and tablets. Ghizeh, thenecropolis of Egypt resurrected to new life, will soon learn toknow and to trust him. The American schools at Athens andnow .at Rome, the American expedition to old Babylon haveannexed the acropolis and the forum and the ruins of Semiticroyal palaces to-America. These are now a part of everytrue American university." Near at hand are other fields forthe American university to cultivate, as, the study of the RedMan; municipal government; American history, finance andpolitical economy and American literature. The Americanuniversity infuses new life into collegiate and secondary edu­cation.But the Americau scholar cannot be a recluse. He mnst be­come a part of the life of the nation, a vital duty which de­volves on him. He must enter political fields. "The duty tomediate devolves clearly upon the trained minds and men whohave learned to pierce beyond the selfish outer ernst of in­terest to the inner kernel of principles. To the universityprimarily addresses itself to day the admonition: Videantconsules ne quid detrimenti respublica capiat, Let the consulsbe on the alert lest injury result to the commonwealth." Thesocial question perplexes every land, and its solution must besought in America .. The uuiversity "is commissioned to speakthe message of peace." "The university must be the St.George to kill a dragon of the spoils system.""But also in the pulpit, the university must inspire andpreach a better appreciation of religion and the Bible than nowamong us either conservatism or radicalism seem to possess.Evolution is the bugbear or" the one and the idol of the other.'It dethrones God!' both contend. Is this conclusion war­ranted? University thought accepts evolution but by nomeans does it admit the conclusions which conservatives bytheir half-truths and radicals by theirs would nrge as inevit­able. Evolution is not only mechanical; it is dynamic; it isspiritual. It robs man neither of his dignity nor absolves him of his responsibility .. Not howman grew but that he grew andinto what, is the fundamental consideration. The universityis in this as in all other things constructive.""False conservatism would take religion and its literatureout of the reach of scientific investigation. Radicalism shoutsfrom the housetops the premature psean that religion afraid ofscience is dead. The Bible is beyond all criticism, theanxious insistence of pseudo-conservatism; the Bible is notworth criticising, is the retort of religion'S unthinking foe.The dogmatism of the conservative produces the dogmatism ofthe radical. Ingersollism is the inevitable reaction againstthe bitterness of unscientific Bibliolatry. The university doesnot exempt religion or the Bible from methodical scientific in­vestigation. Does it rob religion of her crown jewels or theBible of her sparkling gems?' Religion is a supreme fact inhuman life j it is a factor in society, in state, and has beenthis at all times. The crimes imputed by half-thought to re­ligion were perpetrated for political reasons. This and muchmore comparative research in the psychology, the history, the.institutionalism of religion demonstrates in defense of relig­ion. The Bible has had its history; its truths are broughtout, not beclouded, under treatment of the critic. False con­ceptions, errors about the Bible, he disputes. He shows therise of the wonderful literature in connection with the unfold­ing of God's purposes in the people whose seers and singersconfided its ideals to stone or papyrus. Wo to a Bible thathas to be afraid of the Hebrew or Greek grammarian! Woeto a theology which is so little sure of its truth as to dreadthe search-light of critical studies in sacred literature. Thistheology, arrant atheism, radical dernagcgism, operating withnotions as crude as are those it attacks, may indeed overturn.The religion of Isaiah and Jesus stands forever; criticism in­deed only confirms its message and unique character. TheAmerican university in disseminating these correct principlessaves religion and the Bible for the American people.As an American university ours was conceived; as an Ameri­can university open to the light from arc or lamp, no matterwhere shining, but conscious of its own opportunities and ob­ligations it is developing. Viuat, creseat, floreat ! - May itlive, grow and flourish·- into ever greater usefulness as themonths roll on and the years leugthen ! "PRESIDENT'S QUARTERLY STATEMENT.After the award of honors and the conferring ofcertificates and degrees, President Harper read thequarterly statement on the condition of the Univer­sity.The teaching staff of the University numbers now164. The number of students registered during thefour quarters of the past year has been 1,587. Dur­ing the year 182 degrees and certificates have beengranted. The trustees of the Ogden estate haveadded $50,000 to the amount already given to theUniversity. One hundred thousand represents theamount of business transacted by the UniversityPress.Of the remainder of the statement we append infull the three paragraphs of most general interest:THE PUBLIC WORK OF PROFESSORS.The question has been raised, how far an officer of TheUniversity is justified in entering upon a public discussion ofthe political questions of the day, and public attention hasbeen called to the attitude of The University of Chicago uponthis question. Here, as everywhere, much depends upon theUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.circumstances in the case. The political attitude of a pro­fessor of astronomy or chemistry will not effect the class-roomwork of the professor in his department. The case, however,is different with the professor-of political economy or politicalscience or social science or even history. The duty of such aprofessor is manifestly to teach the history of his subject, andits fundamental principles, and not his own opinions. Thetrue teacher will show his student how to secure material, onthe basis of which he may for himself pronounce an opinion.In other words, it is the duty of the professor to be a guide,not an advocate; carefully and exhaustively to lead the stu­dent through ,the history of his subject and to a knowledge ofthe great truths which underlie it. He must be a man ofscience and of scientific principles. He is, of course, underno obligations to conceal his own opinions, but it is not hisprivilege to force such opinions upon his students. He, of allmen, will be a patriot in the broadest sense, but not a partisan.He must stand above party lines, and be independent of partyaffiliations. But he will be none the less a patriot. No manshould be more ready than a university man to take front ran k .in all efforts put forth for, better government. Let us as mem­bers of a university contribute all that is within onr powertoward the better government of our city and our nation.THE STUDENT SPIRIT.Most institutions have inherited from the past the thingcalled college spirit. This spirit manifests itself ordinarily ina disregard of civil authority and a rowdyism of pronouncedcharacter. It was the old idea that a student was not subjectto the laws which regulated other men; the college groundswere in many cases under different legal supremacy. Thiscollege spirit, which finds its greatest delight in destruction ofproperty any injury to life, has not been accorded by collegeauthorities the treatment which it deserves. The college menthemselves have strangely enough supposed that there was aniaul iness about such conduct deserving of special esteem.The faculty of our University rejoices in the fact, that of thisso-called college spirit there has been little or non e duriug the'few years of our existence. Once or twice we have seen aslight evidence of it, but the public sentiment of The Univer­sity has manifested itself so strongly that the spirit, if existedat all, was immediately crushed out. Something very differentfrom this, and greatly to be desired, has been steadily growingamong us; a student spirit of intense loyalty to each other andto the interests of The Universify. Some of us have felt thatthis student spirit, of which the institution stood so milch inneed, was too slow in its development. We have waited pa­tiently through these years for its manifestation. Perhaps wedid not fully appreciate the difficulties which attended the firststages of its growth. Our students had come frorn widely scat­tered localities, from a hundred or more institntions of learn­ing. They were entire strangers to each other. There hadpreceded them no traditions which they could adopt. Newtraditions must be formed. There was no class system whichkept any specific number. of them closely together for anylength of time: Every quarter witnessed a distribution intonew groups. The presence of large numbers of graduate stu­dents dampened the enthusiasm of the younger students. Butwhatever has been true of the past, there is to-day on everyside evidence of a student spirit of most healthy character.This is seen in the establishment of a second student paper,published bi-weekly, and soon, it is hoped, to become a daily;In the inte-rcollegiate debates which have been conducted withgenuine enthusiasm; in the qnickened life and enthusiasm ofthe Houses; in the organization by the students themselves ofthe Graduate' Club; in the increasing readiness of the studentsas a whole to take up athletic interests; in the rapidity withwhich traditions are forming among the students in connection 403with holidays and convocations. The members of the facultysee in the growth ofthis student spirit something most desira­ble for the best interests of all. They welcome it as an expres­sion of appreciation on the part of the students for what theyhave received within its walls.THE CHRISTIAN LIFE.The Christian activity in the University life, though perhapsall that could reasonably be expected under the circumstances,is not what we could wish it to be, nor what it ought to be.We beg our Christian friends of all denominations to note thefact that we have no adequate facilities for the specific encour­agement of Christian life and activity. With no building toserve as headquarters of religious work, with no rooms for thevarious religious organizations, with no church 'in close prox­imity to the grounds of The University, notwithstandiug everyeffort which, may be put forth, the results must be unsatisfac­tory. Much is said about the advantages which are to begained from a mingliug of university students in the churchesof the neighborhood. But the facts do 110t warrant these state­ments. The ordinary student does not have the time neededto secure the social advantages of church life. His circle forthe time is the University circle, and he cannot extend hissympathy' and interest beyond that circle without injury tohimself. The same is true in large measure of the Universityinstructor. What we need is facilities for bringing 'moreclosely together the Christian elements of the University.'Such a massing of our interests, regardless in large measureof denominational connections, is the 'only sure source of suc­cess, and proper material equipment for Christian work in theUniversity is as necessary as a proper material equipment forthe laboratory. - We cannot expect to have genuine religiousinterest unless we have the means for providing the requisitefacilities. The meaning of this is dear. A mistake is beingmade. Indeed a mistake has been made in allowing the relig­ious interests of the University to be so poorly provided for.We must have headquarters for the religious work. Bul uut ilthese headquarters are secured, we must be content to carry onour religious work as best we can, realizing that a great re­sponsibility rests upon those who have at heart the Interests ofthe Master's kingdom.After the president's statement the processionpassed to the Haskell Oriental Museum. Mrs. Has­kell, who founded the museum as a monument to thememory of Frederick Haskell, was seated in a carriagebefore the speaker's stand. Her picture, with that ofMr. Haskell, is among the documents placed in thecorner-stone.Dr. Harper spoke briefly in introduction; the docu­ments were deposited within the stone, and the capplaced in position: After prayer by the Rev.

'95, the establishersof this inviting precedent, and wishes that futuresenior classes may, in their undertakings, be equallysuccessful.MUCH misunderstanding has been broughtabout of late by the misrepresentation of theactions of the University trustees and facultyby the daily papers of the city, especially by theTribune. The WEEKLY wishes to correct several im­pressions which have made their way into our midst.The statement has appeared at various times thatthe graduates of Chicago high schools are to be ad­mitted to the University without examination, thusimplying that the standard for admission had been and to omit from the list of its advisory examinersthe name of any instructor, who may not be compe­tent. Thus iJ? t:0_way is the high standard of admis­sion, for which our University stands, lowered. as hasbeen reported.Other matters of error, which have appeared in thecolumns of the daily press, are the statements thatColumbia University failed to affiliate with our in­stitution, because the University of Chicago couldnot raise the million dollars required to complete theuuion; and that Professor Bemis has resigned hisposition because of a misunderstanding with his de­partment.These statements are evidently made by reporters,who are working on space.Columbia did not affiliate with the University oflowered. This statement is entirely false. No rules Chicago because the former, and not the latter, didhave been passed which discriminate in favor of Chi­cago schools, to the exclusion of others. True ascheme by which graduates of high schools may enterthe University without coming to the regular quar­terly examinations, has been proposed and acceptedby the Chicago Board of Education, but this in noway influences the requirements for admission."I'he scheme is in brief as follows: The Universitywill appoint an advisory examiner in such academiesand high schools as have been formally approved bythe University. The advisory examiner will conductonly the examinations of students who have beenunder his own instruction. He will conduct a writtenexamination upon the courses completed, and will se­lect the good papers of those students who desire tohave their papers read at the University, and pre­sent them, through the principal of his school, to theproper University authorities for approval. If thepapers are approved by the University examiner, arecord of the papers, together with the term recordof the pupil will be preserved at the University. Ifthese are satisfactory, certificates for the same will beissued by the University to the pupil, which will beaccepted by the Uuiversity in lieu of the examinationsoffered by the University at its regular quarterly ex­amination. When the record thus gained shows thecompletion of requirements for admiss-ion to the Uni­versity, the student will be given a full cerificate ofadmission. The University in every instance reservesthe right to refuse each and every set of questionssubmitted by the instructor of the secondary school, not secure the desired million; and Professor Bemisis to give instruction through the summer quarter,leaving the University October rst, to accept a pro­fessorship in another institution.,THE following announcement, taken from a Uni­versity of Michigan correspondence to theRecord, is another illustration of the policy em­ployed in the management of the U. of M. athletics:"The Michigan University ball-players will all spend theirtime on the diamond this summer. Shields will manage theOwosso (Mich.) team, and Bloomington will play second base.Watkins and McKenzie will go to Traverse City, Waterman willplay with D. A. C., Russell with Battle Creek. Deans andHolmes have gone to Newport, R. 1., where the latter playedlast year. Gallop will play at Bay View and Sexton has leftfor Boston."And then it is claimed by, our contemporary, theU. of M. Daily, that the criticism of 'the WEEKLYwhich charged the Michigan team with professional­ism is unfounded and unj ust.No comments are necessary.Des Moines College.Des Moines College (affiliated) sends from its fac­ulty Professors Blakslee, Price, Stephenson and Mrs.Stephenson for the summer quarter, besides Messrs.Bateson, Mecum, Smith, Dakin and Beeman, whoenter the Divinity School.A committee has been appointed by the students toconsider the question of forming a Brotherhood ofStephen in the college, similar to the organizationrecently formed here.Prof. E.

StaggpJayed short and Brown at first base. Nichols was inthe box and held the visitors down to a few scatteredhits, while the home team pounded the ball for twenty­two hits with a total of thirty-nine bases. Smith andBowers, who have not been playing much ball of latecovered themselves with glory by catching everythingthat came into their territory.The grand stand was well filled, with the Whitings'supporters in the majority, and when the veteransecond baseman, Pfeffer, stepped up to the plate inthe first inning he was greeted with a round of ap­plause. He made an easy" out at first, however, andthe crowd was disappointed .. Stagg was also applauded 407when he first came to bat and rejoiced the crowed bysending a fly into deep right-field for a home run.Rheims, the captain of the Whitings, started for theball, but before he reached it made a graceful diveover the edge of the running-track. Pfeffer made a'difficult stop of a low line drive from Winston's bat inthe eigbth iun i ng. His playing as a rule, however,was rather ragged and he appeared to be in poor form.The 'Varsity came to bat first and were retired illone, 1\\"0, three order. Then the visitors came in andaided by a misjudged hit, a low throw to first and abase 011 balls succeeded in scoring two runs. In thenext inning our men scored once and shut out theiropponents, an d the crowd became enthusiastic. Butwhen ill the third inning we added six runs to on r. side the game was no longer in doubt.

The "Fair occupants" ,of Beecher, Kellyand Foster, with three or four exceptions in eachHall, have gone.In one sense their places are being filled by summerstudents. The rooms in Foster and Kelly are alreadyengaged, and it has been decided to open Beecher forsix weeks.Lawn Pete.In the afternoon of July 4, the members of theWomen's Halls will give an informal reception on thelawn in front of Kelly Hall, to all members of the rtr. Tooker's House Party.Mr. Tooker, of the University, and his sister gave ahouse party at their summer home at Fox Lake, forthe week of June 26. Their guests from the Univer­sity were Mrs. Keen and Stanton and Messrs. Joe andN ott Flint and Forest Grant.Boating, bathing and fishing were the order of theweek and last Saturday evening a delightful partywas given by Mr. and Miss Tooker in honor of theirguests.The Antt-Co-educational Club.Rumor reaches us that the nucleus for an " Anti­Co-educational Club" was formed during the festivi­ties that closed last quarter. Strange to say, thosewho seem to be identified with this new organizationhave, to our positive knowledge, taken several ma­jors in social life, and are registered for still more.Stranger y-et, young ladies will be eligible for mem­bership in the club. The requirements for admissionare, however, very strict and probably but few of thefairer sex will be initiated. Nevertheless one younglady, a leader in the social life around the campus,and a prominent member of one of the young ladies'clubs, has received the pledge grip. Among the mem­bers are Arthur Hancock, Phil Rand, Ray Dudley,Joe Flint, Nott Flint, C. S. Pike, Harry Stone, J.Scott Brown, Henry T. Clark, Jr., W. Watt Atwood,Ralph Hobart.The Senior.In his stately cap and gown,With severe, scholastic frown,See him stand!He is taking his degree;No one quite so great as heIn the land.Up the platform steps he goes,Hears the quaint old Latin prose,Monstrous words!Large and curious grow his eyes,While the Ph.D.'s look wise,Queer old birds!When the swe Iling tones subside,Then they give him, ribbon-tied,His degree.He who came untitled. plain,Leaves the somber stage again,An A. B.With his sheepskin for a sail,He must drive before life's gale,Sink or swim!Will he reach good harbor, pray?Quie« sabe .f! Who can say?Luck to him! J. W. L.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKL'/,Western Students' Summer Conference at Lake Geneva.The delegates to the Y ourig Men's Christian Asso­ciation Conference at Lake Geneva have returned.They all report a most delightful and likewise profit­able time, and express nothing but admiration for thebeauty of the scenery of the encampment and haveonly words of praise for the scholarly and spiritualatmosphere of the conference.For six years past students from the colleges westof the Alleghanies have been gathering on the banksof this beautiful lake for the purpose of attending aSummer Conference, having as its aim the deepeningof the. spiritual life of Christian young men and thestudying of the best methods of advancing Christian­ity, particularly in the colleges and through theYoung Men's Christian Association. These confer­ences have had and still have a marked influence onthe Christian life and activity in the colleges reached.Through this agency, many young men have hadtheir lives transformed and directed into special linesof Christian activity.ATHLETICS.While the attaining of spiritual power is the primaryand great purpose of the conference, it is neverthelessa delightful place for physical recreation. The ath­letics this year were under the managment of a specialcollege committee. The Illinois delegation was hardlyon the grounds until it had challenged the remainderof the camp to a match game of baseball. The chal­lenge was accepted and the game played on Monday,resulting in a score Of15 to 14 in favor of Illinois. Inthe inter-state tennis tournament Cushing, of KnoxCollege, carried off the honors for the Illinois delega­tion. The honors of Water Day were carried off byOhio, but Munger of Iowa was declared champion of .the day. The honors of Field Day were won by Iowa.The University of Chicago did not have an athleticdelegation and consequently carried off but few creditsin this field.LINES OF WORK.The regular work of the conference naturally di­vided itself into four lines.First.-Methods of Association Work. This was aseries of conferences aiming at better and more effec­tual methods of Christian work within the Associa­tion. They were presided over by Messrs. Mott andMichener, college secretaries of the International com­mittee. Second.-Bible Study. One class under Prof. W.W. White took up a devotional study of the book ofJohn. Another, under the leadership of Mr. GilbertA. Beaver was a training course for personal workers.Third.-Life-work Conferences. In these, the prin­ciples which should guide a young man in choosing aprofession were first presented, and later the claims ofvarious lines of distinctive Christian work.Fourth.-Platform meetings, at which the followingdistinguished speakers appeared: Messrs. Mott, An­derson, Speer, Prof. White, Dr. R. A. Torrey and Rev.H. A. Johnston, of Chicago.ATTENDANCE.To profit from this feast of good things, there werepresent 319 students, representing 120 colleges and 15States. Illinois led with a delegation of 98 of whom9 were from the University of Chicago, Iowa comingsecond with 43. Texas was represented by two dele­gates and far away California by one. As leaders inthe conference, there were 7 State secretaries and 16speakers and International secretaries. Seventy-nineof the students present were Association presidents;and the entire delegation represented twenty callingsand professions.END OF CONFERENCE.The climax of the conference was reached Sundayafternoon in the address of My. Robert E. Speer, ofNew York, on the Gospel of John. The sessionclosed with a farewell meeting in which hundreds ofstudents testified to the personal benefit derived fromthe conference.The University of Chicago delegation are unani­mously. of the opinion that the promotion of Christianlife in our college demands a strong delegation at theseannual student gatherings.The Mission Clubs.The close of the first year of every successful workamong the clubs at the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. Mis­sion was marked by a union meeting on Thursdayevening, June 20. Those present, numbering aboutone hundred, were the members of the various clubsand their parents. The entertainment consisted ofsongs given by members of clubs and a show of stere­optican views by Messrs. Walker and Stagg of theUniversity. Refreshments were served after the pro­g!am. The evening was a happy one for all whohave interested themselves in the clubs during theyear.Most of the clubs will not meet during the summerquarter, since their leaders will then take their vaca­tion. However, an opportunity is offered to anyonedesirous of doing such work to take charge of a clubduring the summer. Such persons may get definiteinformation from Miss Root of Beecher Hall. 409410 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKL v,.

As is usualat these services, the auditorium was crowded, andthe program presented was fully up to the high stand­ard that has been heretofore maintained. The choirof the Cathedral of the Holy Name, numbering forty­two voices, sang three numbers, led by Mr. WilliamMiddleschulte. Mr. F. A. Langlois' hass solo," Arm ! Arm! Ye Brave," from Handel's "JudasMaccabeeus." was sung with feeling and expression.The address by President Harper was deliveredbefore the senior class, who, in cap and gown, wereseated in a body. Dr. Harper said, in brief, thatamid the complexity of life there must be flexibilityfor development. Many failures in life are due to oneof two causes, either an unwarranted certainty de­pendent on lack of evidence in judgment, or an utteruncertainty as to what course to follow. Both ex­tremes must be avoided. The address concluded witha powerful appeal to the matchless life of Jesus Christ.Modern Language Conference.A new educational organization has been establishedby the formation of the Central Modern LanguageConference. The progress of higher education in theWest has long since made such an organization de­sirable. During its ten years of existence the Mod­ern Language Association of America has held itsmeetings in the East. The West, although it basfelt its great influence on the improvement of modernlanguage teaching, has been deprived of the benefitsresulting from a closer personal acquaintance and amutual exchange of thought and experience amongeducators in their special branches. The preliminary meeting here in Chicago was heldlast Friday.Prof. Carruth, of the Kansas State University, waselected presidentpro fem., and Prof. Schmidt- Warten­berg, of Chicago, secretary pro tem., to act also astreasurer.A motion to hold a two days' session during theChristmas holidays, at a time not conflicting with themeeting of the Modern Language Association, wascarried unanimously. All members agree upon avoid­ing any conflict with the interest and support of theassociation, and the' pursuit of the common aim: theadvancement of the scientific study and teaching of themodern languages and literatures.The first regular meeting will be held at ChicagoDecem ber 30 to January I.

The tables preparedwere unable to accommodate the large attendance.Whi�e the banquet was being served, music from anorchestra delighted the guests.The list of toasts was a very strong one and the rollof speakers most distinguished. President Harperpresided as toast-master. Charles L. Hutchinson,treasurer of the Board of Trustees, convulsed the au­d ieqce with his funny stories and his characterizationof the popular conception of the ideal trustee. Super­intendent Nightingale of the city schools spoke withgreat power and earnestness in behalf of secondaryschools and especially of the public high schools.Judge Freeman next spoke on the Yale spirit andProf. W. G. Hale 011 " Harvard, Rome and Chicago."President Harper then introduced Dr. John H. Bar­rows who made the capital toast of the evening on thetheme, "The Orient."Dr. Myra Reynolds spoke charmingly of "TheComing Woman," and Dr. Edmund Buckley, repre­senting the Graduate School, toasted the "Investi­gator." Prof. Emil G.

West Publishing Co., St.Paul. $3· 75·In its brevity, clearness and compre­hensive statement of the rules of crimi­nal procedure, this work must be ac­corded the recognition due a legal clas­sic. The need has long been felt by thelegal profession of a treatise which setsforth the modern developments in thelaw of evidence. This want is now sup­plied. The author has given a full andaccurate statement of the laws of plead­ing and evidence. The method of treat­ing legal topics used in the HornbookSeries is unique. It embraces a succinctstatement of legal principles in blackletter type, followed by a more extended.commentary elucidating the principles.This plan of connecting the principleswith illustrative facts, gives to the booka peculiar value as a text-book for stu­dents, while it furnishes to practitionersa book of ready reference. 1'0 the sys­tematic adopted arrangemen t of topicsmay be attributed in great measure thesuccess of the Horn book Series. Thework of annotation bas been faithfullydone with infinite painstaking by theauthor, and he is particularly happy inhis selection of cited cases, many ofthem very recent. Those who are study­ing or imparting instruction on the sub­ject will find the work invaluable.1'. W. M.The Decoration Day number of theUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLYcomes to us prepared entirely by theladies, or as the title page indicates, it isthe Women's Edition - and a mightygood edition it is. Miss Maude L. Rad­ford was the editor-in chief, and she hadsurrounded herself with a corps of asso­ciates who made the edition a particu­larly bright and interesting one. Everydepartment - literary, athletic, social,religions, local ann calendar-was lookedafter by competent and clever people,and the result was a paper the youngladies should be proud of. The horridmen who run the paper regularly willhave to look to their laurels if they de­sire to present a snappy, readable paper,such as the young ladies got up. MissElizabeth Messick was the business man­ager, and the number of "ads" in theWomen's Edition, testify to her abilityas a hustler.

This week the same men are playingon the courts of the. Kenwood Country Club in theregular annual contest for the Western championship.It is highly probable that Neel will again win thesingles and be matched against Chase, in which casethe struggle will decide finally which is the betterplayer. Intense interest is centered upon these men.Their styles of play differ sufficiently to render theresult uncertain. Each has' the advantage of theother in certain respects, and each plays, not merelyto win, but to win by the best tennis playing. A vic­tery for Neel. will open the University to congratula­tions for having accomplished, in three brief years,such remarkable results in out-of-door sports.Fourth of July Observance.The Fourth of July was observed by a patrioticmeeting in the morning in Kent Theater and a lawnfete on the campus in the afternoon.The morning meeting was very large. The pro­gram consisted of an impressive prayer by ProfessorWilkinson, patriotic songs, and an oration by DeanJudson on the subject, "Is Our Republic a Failure? "The oration was one of the best productions the Uni­versity has yet heard, and recalled vi vidly the addressby Professor Von Holst delivered one year ago. Itwas scholarly and unique, and very unlike the typical" July 4th panegyric."In brief Mr. Judson said that ours is a very demo­cratic republic and is becoming 1110re democratic.Yet there is no room for the cheerful optimism whichsees only the glories of the republic. Undoubtedlyone of the chief dangers of our country is the disap­pearance of public confidence i� our legislative bodies.The lobby-which means bribery-has come to becalled "the third house" of the legislature. Ourlegislatures are no longer deliberative bodies, andmunicipal misrule has become shamefully common.By these conditions the responsibilities of the Presi­dent, of government and of mayors is greatly in­creased.The tyranny of capital and the 110 less tyranny oflabor are next in the category of evils. The individ­ual in society has dwindled to almost nothing. Inwar men are reckoned in tens, hundreds and thou­sands, and the same is largely true in the business ofour great corporations. "In dealing with employeesand in dealing with the public our corporations are infact a tyranny as remorseless as that against whichour fathers rebelled in 1776." Labor is tyrannicalwhen it denies to any man the right to earn his ownliving by any honest work which he chooses. Yet we know the worst in our democracy. " Whoknows the quiet things which underlie hereditaryaristocracy? " "The real question is not: Is repub­lican government a faIlure? It is this: Is moderncivilization a failure?" The great progress of de­mocracy in government compels the question in thisform, - a question affecting all civilized nations.Democracy undisguises the facts, aristocracy andmonarchy evade them. There are fundamental prin­cipals in our republic that will yet bring it to a finaltriumph.From four to six in the afternoon a general recep­tion was held on the lawn in the Women's Quadran­gle. President and Mrs. Harper, Miss Reynolds andthe following members of the University Council, withtheir wives, received: Professors Small, Chamberlain,Judson and Abbott. Most of the summer studentswere present and succeeded in becoming well ac­quainted. Refreshments were served by the membersof the Women's halls.L' Empereur.Was greatness his? What is it to be great?Is it to see above this waste of thingsSome high, pure star, and with unwearied wings,To sore above our common human state?No star was his, he had no wings to soar;But in his bosom burned a quenchless fire,The heat of an unsatisfied desire,Uging him on and onward evermore.Happy are those to whose anointed eyesThe heavens are opened; in whose unstopped earsIs echoing still the music of the spheres,Who touch the very gates of Paradise;Who breathe to meu the message from above,And stand like heralds of the coming morn ;Who paint the glories of a hope new-born,And thrill us with an ecstasy of love.Not such was he, 110 impulse did he feelTo gild with gladder light the life of men."Not beauty, only power," he said, and thenStepped forth and grasped it with a grip of steel.Low-brewed and stem he kept his lonely state;He lived apart and held a world in awe,-­Subdued it to inexorable law.And still we ask in doubt, "Was he, then, great?"F.W.D.A New Departure.The University, in accordance with its progressivespirit, is about to institute an innovation in geolog­ical field work by throwing the course open to women.Several have already entered for the course.

Hering lifted a sky­scraper to Bangard and Pike singled. An errortransported Brown to first. "Warhorse" Allen, whofollowed the editor at bat, struck a tragic attitude butfailed to hit the ball. Liebbein should have retiredNichols at first, but failed to do so, and j oues clearedthe bases by a hit to right.The fifth inning was still more fatal to the visitors,and six pairs of maroon stockings crossed the plate.It came about by four bases on balls, fcur hits and anerror. The remaining four innings were blanks forb ot h sides, and in spite of the big lead of the 'Varsitythe game was intensely interesting. The score:ChicagoUn'ty. R.B. PO. A.E. Edgars.

Several runs ofthe 'Varsities were also unearned and bad' the errorsbeen eliminated the score would have been close.The playing of the two teams, however, was brilliantat times and several sensational plays kept the crowdin good humor. The only unpleasant feature, if itcan really be called such, happened in the sixth inningwhen a questionable decision by the. umpire made theEdgars think that it was a goodtime to quit; but Mr.Butterworth jingled the" coin" in his pockets andthey concluded to stay.The runs that were made came in bunches and allthe scoring was done in three inning. The gamestarted with the Edgars at bat. Captain Farley hit aslow one to �ichols and while he was pulling the ballout of his sleeve the captain had reached first. Thevisitors saw the humor of the situation and sent somemore in the same direction and the bases were full,the last being a: gift from Winston. A couple of safe. drives and three men came ill: The next threeinnings, however, were a barren waste, and the ma­roons redeemed their yellow work in the first inningby some good playing.

No one for an instance disputes the factthat the addition of a swimming tank to the equipmentof the gymnasium would be highly desirable. Almostevery gymnasium of any pretensions is thus provided-and although the majority of the students would liketo see the proposed natatorium inclosed in a new andcommodious building which would be an honor to theUniversity, still if this is 110t possible, any step in thisdirection will be welcomed.No plans, however, have as yet been settled upon,but it is to be hoped that arrangements will' soon bemade whereby a servicable plung bath may make thegumnasium a more still popular institution.A Mosquito.At last upon a Senior's head,.
