BRU:CE, D. D.The twelfth convocation was held Tuesday after­noon on the campus in front of Graduate Hall. Prof.Alexander Balmain Bruce, D. D., was the convoca­tion orator and spoke on ,. The Future of Christian­ity." The President, members of the Board of Trus­tees and the faculty, to the number of a hundred andfifty, occupied seats upon the platform. The programwas relieved by selections by Professor Hand's or­chestra. About twenty-five students received Bach­elor's Degrees and academic certificates and eightreceived master's and doctor's degrees. This wasfollowed by the President's quarterly statement. Theexercises were closed with the benediction by theUniversity chaplain. Dr. Bruce spoke as follows:While it may seem presumptuous to undertake tospeak of the future of Christianity, or indeed toadopt a prophetic tone with- reference to any subjectwhatever, yet there is no place in the world whereone may more pardonably assume the attitude of look­ing forward than in America, in Chicago, and in thisUniversity. America is a young country; its appro­priate motto is not" Fuimus" (we have been) but"Erimus" (we shall be). It has a great future be­fore it: its providential destination is to possess this vast land and turn its resources to good account.Chicago is a city whose small beginnings are remem­bered by men sti11living. The University of Chicagois but a child, four years old. For its age it is a childof phenomenal proportions, but it is doubtless des­tined to indefinite expansion. Its buildings will beincreased fourfold, its teachers grow in number andrenown, its influence will wax in volume, and becomea mighty river. Amid such surroundings how canone help being seized with a prophetic mood?It might have been very suitable on such an occa­sion as the present, to discourse on the future of thisinstitution, but I do not possess the necessary knowl­edge for that purpose. But I must speak for a mo­ment on the privilege and honor which I have enjoyedin having a part, however humble, in the work of thisUniversity at so early a period of its career, and in'being associated with its pioneer instructors, andespecially with its able, resourceful, energetic, and alto­gether admirable first President, in whose mindoriginated the broad, sagacious plan on. which theinstitution is based, from whose bright genius andhigh character the future of this University will takeits shape, as an institution devoted at once to the in-1"'­J .. LJ-flFCfgq�/, 6, ?U). efr1V I 4- '1110 i � - +g534 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.terests of science and the interests of the Christianfaith.In proceeding to speak of the future' of Christianity,I begin with the remark that Christianity will have afuture. Christianity is not a spent force about to takeits place among the things that have been. Such a fatemay-overtake a religion, and the question may be askedwhy should Christianity not be subject to the law ofdecay. In a pessimistic mood it is not difficult to pointto what look like symptoms of senility, tokens of theapproaching fall season of the Christian era. Thereis the divided church, looking like the hopeless wreckof organized Christianity ; the sacramentarianism, pa­thetic symbols turned into fetishes; dogmatism whichhas transformed a simple faith into an elaboratecreed. These and other symptoms look like impend­ing dissolution, but there are not wanting facts encour­aging hope, wearing the aspect of a new dawn, sug­gesting the thought that if we have arrived at a crisis,it is not a crisis of distribution, but of reconstruction.I name three: the sovereign place ill the universeassigned to man by recent science, the new interestawakened in the Bible by modern criticism,' and theintense thirst of the' Christian mind for knowledge ofthe historic Christ.Science has demonstrated that man in his body,possibly also in his soul, is the crown of the evolu­tionary process. Thereby it produces a new lease tothe Christian faith in proclaiming a doctrine concern­ing man essentially the same as that of Jesus; thatman is made in God's image, that God is his Father,and that man is his son. ' . .Then the new interest awakened in the Bible bythe modern criticism is a good omen. Since theChristian 'era began there has never been so muchkeen interest in and so much intellectual activity uponthe sacred literature of the Jewish and Christian faithas exists now, and all has been the labor of love 011the part of men entirely emancipated for the most partfrom superstitious reverences. They undertake thiswork because they like it and think it worth their while.Foremost in importance among the good omens isthe intense desire of many to know tile mind of Jesusand to give it the authoritative place in the faith andlife of the church. Many are tired of ecclesiasticalChristianity, but few are tired of Jesus. At the endof nearly two thousand years, Christ is born anew'among us: through scientific study, .devout thoughtand loving endeavor at imaginative realism, his lifeand ministry are being enacted 'over again, so that heis better known to-day than he ever has been sincethe Christian era began.What will the future of Christianity be, no one canadequately tell, but it is not impossible to sketch scm eof the broader features of the new development whichChristianity is likely to undergo. One of the inevitable tasks of the future will be the Uf ,J.,..popularizing of the Bible in accordance with moderncritic�l principles. 'This movement must go 'on tillministers and even Sunday-school teachers have be-.come more or less acquainted with its methods andresults, ,It, cannot remain a mere academic, .. .move-ment: it must influence the practical use of the Scrip-tures in pulpit, school and home. The issue, I believe,will be such as lovers of the Holy Book will havecause to rejoice in.A well-known preacher expressed the fear that thecritics were going to take from him his mother'sBible: they will, but they will give to his daughteror grand-daug htera better Bible than his pious motherever knew, with nothing of real -importancc left out;only all made more luminous, living, real.The sooner this service of familiarizing the peoplewith the critically edited Bible is .rendered the better.Till it is done there will be a dangerous interval ofignorance and indifference. The Bible will be indanger of being let alone by the community, allowedto lie on the shelf: Psalms, Prophecies, Gospels, Epis­tles, relegated to obli�ion. Everything must be doneto avert such a disaster. All honor, therefore, to themen who in various ways are striving to rescue theSacred Book from the neglect which it is threatenedwith through the temporarily unsettling influence ofof the critical movement. Many are co-operating in :"''».this good work, but I single out for honorable men­tion the American Institute of Sacred Literature,whose principal and chief promoter is, the Presidentof this University.[Having spoken of the use which will be made bythe church of 'the future of the re-edited and reinter­preted Bible, Dr . Bruce went on to speak of the work­ing out of the ideas of Jesus concerning God andman, as perhaps the most characteristic feature of theChristianity of the future]: 'I'hough we be near the'close of the. nineteenth Christian century, this has yetto be done. It is an arduous task, not to be accom­plished in a year or a century, and before the con­summation devoutly to be wislied, many changes,theological, ecclestiastical, and social may come.Traditional theologies may go, ecclesiastic organiza­tions be broken up, old social conditions, pass away,but Christ will remain, and the priceless worth of Hiswords will 'keep, the heart loyal amid temptations,and his ideas of God and man will be the fixed starsby 'which the mariner will steer his way throughtroubled seas to the desired haven... What kind of a world will that haven bring us to?I know not any more than the Pilgrim Fathers knewwhat a great nation was to grow out of such obscurebeginnings. My concern is to emphasize that in theyears to come the ideas. of. Jesus will be, taken seri­ously and will not remain fruitless. They willrs) UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.strengthen . the passion for justice and deepen the-feeliug of mercy, and make all men walk humblywith God and lovingly with fellow men. With thisdistant Pisgah view of the Promised 'Land, we can becontent like Moses, to die outside of its borders andignorant of its geography. The religious and moralroots of the unknown future are the only things thatwe need care about. In these days, we hear much ofsocialism � economic socialism - "Let private prop­erty only pass away and all things become common,and all will be welL", Would all be well if economicsocialism were accompanied with moral individual­ism; a spirit caring only for self? The true bane ofsociety is not property but self-seeking, and the trueneed now and at all times is moral socialism, that is,caring for others. That due heed to Christ's teachingwill bring about that and all that properly goes alongwith it, and the function of the church of the futurewill be to secure 'that due heed be given to Christ'sbeneficent, humane doctrine. A church filled withChrist's spirit cannot be indifferent to the social ap­plication's of Christianity, but it does not follow thatthe church should constitute herself the great socialexecutive. Her imain function, is to teach, to enun­ciate, perhaps to put into circulation great ideals;that being done with freshness, freedom, impartiality,discrimination, the influence of the church will befelt, recognized, and respected, and her voice will bea real and potent factor in bringing in the better time.But the church of the present is fatally weakenedby division. Is this state of things to last forever?Ir hope not, though I am much less sanguine aboutthe future-of the church than I ani about the futureof Christianity; The chief conditions of restoredunion and power' I see, though whether these condi­tions will be realized is uncertain. Sacramental super­stition must die out, and the overweaning love ofdogma: and in place of these two idols of the pastmust come devotion to the kingdom of God, a passionfor righteousness, a resolute purpose that God's willbe done. I .am not one of those who conceive the.church of the future as a mere ethical society, havingfor its aim" ,. To insist on duty and character withoutinsisting on any supernatural agencies or' expecta­tions" (Bo�anquet, ,. Civilization of Christianity");or as a benevolent association, "The union of allwho love in the service of all who suffer," (Stead, "IfChrist Came to Chicago."). Such organizations wouldno doubt be beneficial and might to some extent actas a barrier against moral and social barbarism, butthe ethical or the benevolent spirit needs support froma transcendental faith. 'A recent writer on social evolu­tion has ably advocated a view of religion accordingto which it is a supra-rational element in human na­ture, constraining men to be altruistic against the dic­tates of their reason, bidding them care for their own interests only. The theory is open to criticism. Itsassumptions that religion is essentially supra-rationaland that reason is essentially selfish, are questionable:but the general principle underlying Mr. Kidd's the­ory is sound, viz., that the humane, benevolent im­pulses need support from religion. A man is weakwhen he serves the good with only a part of his spirit­ual nature. It takes all that is within us, conscience,heart, reason, imagination, the faith-faculty, to makeus heroes in the warfare for justice and mercy. Myideal therefore for the future is not a church withouta creed or a theology or a philosophy, or regardingthese things as' idle incumbrances. I desiderate achurch possessing all these, but knowing better whatto do with them than the church of the past; usingthem as ideals, not as compulsory ordinances; as goals,not as starting points; as symbols and means to ad­vanced fellowship, ...not as conditions of admission toher communion or even to the exercise of teachingfunctions.Such is the vision of the future as I have been ableto see it. It is fair 'and winsome: if it be also in har­mony with the true and the good it will come to passand God's name will be hallowed, his kingdom willcome, and his will shall be done on earth as it is inheaven.The Relation of the University to its Teaching Staff.In the regular quarterly statement of the Presidentof the University, among many things the followingwas said by Dr. Harper in regard to tlze relation ofthe University to its teaching staff:"In view of the many incorrect and misleadingutterances which have recently been published in ref­erence to the policy of the University of Chicago inits relation to its teaching staff, it seems wise to makethe following statement:" (I) From the beginning the University has be-lieved in the policy of appointing to positions in thesame department men who represent different pointsof view. This policy has been very generally adopted,and consequently in many departments students havethe privilege of electing the courses of that professorwhose point of view is deemed preferable. It is evi­dent, therefore, that no instructor in the Universityhas been or will be asked to' separate himself from theUniversity because his views upon a particular ques­tion differ from those of another member of the samedepartment, even though that member be the head."(2) From the beginning of the University therehas never been an occasion for condemning the u tter­ance of any professor upon any subject, nor has anyobjection been taken in any case to the teachings of aprofessor. Naturally there have been cases in whichthe President of the University and the head of adepartment have deemed it wise to consider the535UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.methods employed by a given instructor in his work;but in reference to the particular teachings of aninstructor no interference has ever taken place."(3) The University has been in a conspicuous waythe recipient of large gifts of money from wealthymen .. To these men it owes a debt of sincere grati­tude. This debt is all the greater, moreover, becausein absolutely no single case has any man, who hasgiven as much as one dol lar to the University, soughtby word or act either directly or indirectly to control,or even to influence the policy of the University inreference to the teachings of its professors, in thedepartments of Political Economy, History, PoliticalScience, or sociology. To be still more explicit,neither John D. Rockefeller, Charles T. Yerkes.. MartinA. Ryerson, Marshall Field, Silas B. Cobb, Sidney'Kent, G�orge C. Walker, nor any other benefactor ofthe University, has.ever uttered p. syllable or writtena word in criticism of any theory advocated by anyprofessor in any department of the University, Thefact that men should give large sums of money with­out in any way seeking to influence the policy of theUniversity in these respects, has been so noteworthyas frequently to have been commented upon, not onlyin private but in public,"(4) This statement is made in part because thefriends of the University have expressed a wish toknow the truth in respect to the charges made, and inpart also because there has seemed to be an inclina­tion 011: the part of the public to forget that on everysuitable occasion the policy of the University as tothe freedom of its professors and of its students in mat­ters of opinion, has been strongly emphasized. Thispublic statement is made because the counter state­ment has been published far and wide, arid becauseit is clear that a serious injury will be done the causeof higher education if the impression should prevailthat in a university, as distinguished from a college,there is not the largest possible freedom of expression-a freedom entirely unhampered by either theolog­ical or monetary considerations. A candid man willeasily understand that the University could not andwould not make so strong a statement as this, if itsexecutive officers had any question as to the policy itshould pursue, or if there had been any effort on thepart of its benefactors to influence this policy;"Professor A. B. Bruce, D. D.The WEEKLY presents this week .an excellent cutof Prof. Alexander Balmain Bruce, D. D., who duringthe last quarter has given courses of lectures on" Christianity and Agnosticism," and ,� The Founda­tions of the Faith," and who delivered an address onthe" Future of Christianity" at our twelfth Convo­cation on Tuesday. He was born in the parish of AI­berdalgis near Perth, Scotland, January 30th, eighteen hundred and thirty-one. His college education wascomplet-ed at Edinburgh. He then accepted the pas­torate of the Free Church at Cardross in Dumbarton­shire, whose duties he performed most acceptably from1859-1868. From that time till 1875 he assumed sim­ilar duties at Broughty Ferry, after which he becameProfessor of Theology (apologetics and New Testa­ment exegesis) in the Free Church college at Glas­gow, Scotland.In 1876 the University of Glasgow granted him thedegree of Doctor of Divinity .. Dr. Bruce declareshimself t? be in sympathy with modern religiousthought, while maintaining solidarity with all that isbest in the theology of the past. He also is in favorof freedom, in critical inquiries on basis of evangelicfaith and of a simplified and more comprehensivecreed.Among his many contributions to religious litera­ture are: "The Training of the Twelve," "The Hu­miliation of Christ, " "The Chief End of Revelation,""The Parabolic Teaching ofChrist," "The GalileanGospel, H and a course of Lectures 0!1 Miracles deliv­ered at the Union Theological Seminary of New Yorkin 1886.

The Of late the newspaper accounts ofNewspaper the University football games haveCorrespondents. been read with surprise and disgustby those who are most interested in the welfare andgood name of this institution. The greater part ofalmost every account is composed of exaggerated andsensational articles about" scraps" between individ­ual players. These accounts are not only uninterest­ing to those who understand the game, but disgustmany fair-minded people who have never seen a gameand who accordingly become prejudiced against it.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.The football accounts in the eastern papers are his­tories of each game written in accordance with its bestinterests, and not" spicy". detailed accounts of " by­plays" appreciated only by morbid people.In this way Captain Allen has un deservedly beenaccorded the reputation of a "slugger," a dirty foot­ball player. In his position as Captain it is his dutyand pri vilege to see that his team is accorded justiceat the hands of both referee and umpire. And as theman filling this position, not the man personally, heis the object of ill-natured remarks, and sometimesbrutality at the hands of excited opponents.It is to be hoped that the University correspondentswill appreciate the immense responsibility and strainunder which he is laboring and not increase it asmuch as possible by their thoughtless sensationalism.When this matter is broached to any of the corre­spondents his answer is that, if he didn't put it in theother reporters would scoop him and lose him his po­sition. Now it is due the University and its organiza­tions that its various newspaper correspondents shouldmeet and reach a decision whereby they may in fair­ness to themselves and their respective papers, main­tain the best interests of the institution.The Members of the University returningNeighboring from their vacation, as well as thoseChurches. coming here for the first time, cannotbut be struck by the fact that three of the churchesin the vicinity of the University are now engaged inbuilding. Certainly this is full of significance forUniversity men and women, for among the causesthat have led to the inception of these enterprises, thepresence and growth of the University have beenprominent. The erection of the structures on Fifty­Sixth street is the material expression of the invita­tion, already extended to us by individuals, to attendthese churches.It is more than this, however. It is an appeal tothe Christian men and women of the University tojoin these various churches and assume a part in theirincreasing burdens. There can be. no doubt· that theChristian associations of the University, important astheir function is, do not, and are not intended to takethe -place of the church in University life; and it is a1110St unworthy conception of it that permits thechurch to' be thus eclipsed. Still less worthy is the"p<?sULon that student life is a time of freedom from allreligious obligations. The churches claim no aIle 509giance due to other causes. But that there is anallegiance fairly due to them, may not be denied.The Hyde Park churches are not strong. In nochurches of the city is there greater need or greateropportunity. In none is there heartier welcome forUniversity people. Many in the University, seeingthese things, have already allied themselves with thelocal churches; many have expressed their intentionof doing so at once. Others who come in will thusfind themselves not among strangers, even at .the out­set, and will in no long time discover abundant oppor­tunities for Christian activity.The New President of Colby University.Rev.

"Ben" Thomas,he of the flowing locks and a bad temper, showed upweak in his strongest points, and after repeated at­tempts to get the" bead" on somebody was ruled off,not so much for real slugging as for his inability toconceal very poor efforts in that direction.The efforts of certain newspapers to make the gameappear as a " slugging match" were not crowned withsuccess, as the grounds for the assertions were built onslender foundations. The significant fact that not asingle player on either side would admit that he re­ceived a hurt or bruise from any pugilistic encounterspeaks volumes for the clean record of the game. Thefriendly scrimmages that had such portentious forebod­ings of evil work to the wild-eyed reporters were nota whit more dangerous than the repeated occurrencesof the same nature in everyday practice.There was very little chance for "dirty" work, asthe ·umpiring and refereeing were uniformly fair toboth sides.The teamwork of the 'Varsity was by far better thanthat of the visitors. Still, taking the newness of theseason into account the Athletics showed up to betteradvantage Saturday than in any previous season.They hardly fumbled the ball once, while the 'Varsityon the other hand was profuse in this direction. InSlater and Hoagland the team of the cherry circle hastwo of the very best half-backs. Camp did not seemto be in good form, and played rather poorly.Nichols and Ewing, however: carried off the palmfor brilliant work, and two better backs will be hard tofind anywhere. The one weakness made itself appat'­ent in running around the ends. Although the inter­ference was the best seen on Marshall field it was un­certain at critical points. The interference for Ewingaround the right end was weak with one exception.The exception goes to prove that both backs can beequally well protected and this should not be allowedto go unnoticed.The most encouraging feature ot the whole thing,from the 'Varsity standpoint, was the stonewall qual­ity of the line. Only twice did the Athletics piercethe center, and both times it was due to the open styleof game played by the line. Time and again did thebacks hurl themselves against the" heavenly twins,"et al., only to be repulsed with loss. Flint and Wil­liamson not only held their men but frequentlypI ucked the " cherries" on the other side of the fence.For a neophyte in the business, Clarke's work atquarter was above par. Stevenson's habit of minglinghis fingers in " Ikey' s" locks at the inopportune mo­ment spoiled several passes. Neel who had only beenout for practice a few days showed up remarkablystrong. R ullkoetter came out with a bandage on hishead and had beeu confined to his room by sicknessseveral days but he more than held his own againstUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY�Bartle. Roby and Gale were much in evidence, andthe way Roby laid out his man and, got into everyscrimmage made the rooters howl with delight. Gale,towards the close of the second half, was hit in thehead' when tackled and felt rather dizzy for awhile but.soon came to.A good deal of wrangling was indulged in by bothsides without gain to either, and once five minuteswere lost by failure of the captains to call for time.The great surprise of the game was the fact that theAthletics were unable to make but one respectablegain during the, whole contest-a fifteen yards run byHoagland.The 'Varsity completely outplayed their opponentstwo to one at every point. Had it not been for fum­bles which lost valuable time to the 'Varsity one ortwo more touchdowns would probably have resulted.Nichols made a succEssi�l1 of sensational runs of twen­ty-five, seventy-five and forty yards respectively.After the first long run Nichols scored a touchdownby a dive through the line.The second and last touchdown was made byEWing, who by magnificent interference put the' 'pig­skin" behind the goalposts after a run of twenty'yards. In both cases Ewing failed to kick goal. Theteams lined up as follows:Uni'versity. Position s. Chicago A thtetics.\ Stone.I Camp.Thompson .r Thomas .l Stone.. Stevenson.... Bartle.. . Blayney...

Several eastern teams playedtheir opening games, and two big games were playedin the west, Saturday last. Northwestern team wasunmercifully trounced by the eleven from Iowa Agri­cultural College. The Methodists were outplayed atevery point, and the absence of some of their bestplayers will hardly account for the crushing' defeat ofthe suburbanites. 'The predictions made by' manythat the roseate hue of the prospects in the early partof the season, would fade to deep yellow later on,seems to be more than, verified. Northwestern failedto score, and the Hawkeyes made six touchdowns. 541Much better work was done by the Evanston menagainst Wisconsin the previous Saturday when thescore was 12 to 6 in favor of the Badgers.The big eastern teams do not seem to be as strongin general teamwork as they were last year.
