Miss Mary E.McDowell is its Head Resident. It was organizedsoon after the, opening of the University._ Two important points in regard to the Settlementshould be carefully noted:(I) It is not merely a charity organization. It israther the embodiment of those humanitarian, socialideas which proceed from the doctrine of the brother­hood of man and whose practical fulfillment is thefulfillment of the universal law of love. We do notordinarily regard the church as an institution for dis­pensing charity; neither should we so regard thesettlement.(2) It can, when rightly managed, contributemore benefit to the university than the universitycan contribute to it. Th� settlement should be re­garded as a part of the university, capable of giving -untold lessons to any who wish to learn. Professor Small has said: "Hull House has done more forPrairie Avenue than it has for Halsted Street.""The primary educational purpose which it is de­signed to subserve is that of a social observatory, astatistical laboratory, and a field for the original re­searches of post-graduate studen ts."PRINCIPLES OF THE SETTLEMENT.The settlement is a training school in democracy.It is adapted to inculcate patriotism in its members.It strives to teach the proper relations between capi­tal and labor.It has no creeds or dogmas and contains all shadesof opinions. It undertakes to show the relations ofman to social questions. It aims to include everyclass and condition of men and every form of culture.It aims to educate the people. Democracy is im­possible unless the members of the democracy are wise.True democracy must be a democracy of culture. Itis a great mistake to make culture exclusive.There are those who believe that social reform can­not succeed until it becomes religious,-until we have594 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.a social theology. The university settlement aims tbe sufficiently religious to consecrate men to the Gos­pel of Love. It aims to bring its workers into touchwith the great common heart of the people.The settlement requites fully its workers. Itsmethod is one which the university itself has not yet :got hold of.' The workers pass through an educa­tional process of which their university training willhardly give them a hint. This method the universityitself will have to adopt. The university must grad­ually acknowledge the settlement as a part of itself, onthe same principle on which practical investigation isdone. "Social science is not scientific unless sympa­thetic. The university settlement purposes to be acen ter of social science which shall be both scientificand sympathetic."[The paragraphs given above are extracted from an addressgiven here July 21, by Robert A. Wood, Head Resident of An­dover House, Boston. The following is from Principal A. M.Fairbairn, president of Mansfield House, London.-ED.]The university cannot accomplish as much for thesettlement as the settlement can accomplish for theuniversity. In England there is danger that the set­tement become too highly cultured, too exclusive inits culture. This danger hardly exists in the UnitedStates, because here scholars may be scholars and yetremain men.The settlement here answers, to a certain extent,the problem of the university, We are getting, someof us, very rich, .and we are. too likely to forget thatthe wealth of a nation is constituted by its people.Education must become open to all the people. Theuniversity should try to invigorate the great-massesof the people.II.THE POLISH NEIGHBORS OF THE SETTI�EMENT.About six thousand Poles live in the near neigh�borhood of the University Settlement. The majorityof them work in the Stock-Yards, earning from $I.25to $2.50 daily. In spite of these low wages, manyof them after several years of work, purchase a lotand a small house, which they pay for in monthly in­stallments for a long term of years. This is one ofthe most pronounced qualities of the Polish working­man, that he strives to acquire property as soon aspossible. Probably this characteristic grows out ofthe fact, that most of the Polish immigrants were,before their arrival in America, farmers or laborers inthe country. 'To this condition is added anotherquality, the extreme conservatism of the Polish work­.iugrnen..Irr matters of religion, the Polish people are sincereCatholics, being influenced in everything in their livesby priests. Until now very few Poles care for thelabor movement. Their chief interest lie in the.sphere of clerical and national questions.Every Pole has continually present in his mind the needs and the sufferings of his country. The patri­otic idea unites them all, develops in them all thespiritual life and the altruistic feeling. Even in thehardest times for working people nearly everyone ofthem found it possible to pay every month a cent forthe Polish national treasury, which was established inEurope to enable Poland to gain political freedom.In spite of the great love for Poland, Poles are sin­cerely attached to their new fatherland, where theyfind for the first time a nation which does not oppressthem. Last year at the Polish exposition at Lem­berg, American-Poles had their own building andcelebrated the Fourth of July just as enthusiasticallyas in Chicago,The whole population of Poles in the United Statesreaches the imposing number of two and one-halfmillions. The larger number of men belong tochurches or national organizations. Among all bigPolish organizations the most progressive and activeis the "Polish National Alliance," which is repre­sented throughout America. Many Poles, who livein the Town of Lake belong to this organization.Lately the Alliance adopted as its chief work the im­proving of the education of the Polish people inAmerica. A decision was formed to organize in everyPolish colony a society for intellectual culture and acertain sum of money was raised for extensive lect­ures, for which teachers will be obtained from Europe.It is expected that in the Town of Lake the numberof the members of the society for intellectual culturewill reach two or three hundred people ..Besides workingmen the Polish colony in thisneighborhood has a certain amount of well. educatedpeople, who try as much as possible to develop theintellectual life among their compatriots. Amongothers there is a family whose father (re�ently dead )was ,editor of one of the most prominent ne:vspapersin St. Petersburg. This very intelligent man spentmany years in Siberia with his family. There areseveral other persons, who suffered for their countryin the Old World.The University Settlement brought a great· move­ment into the life of the Polish colony. Last yearPolish meetings were held fortnightly, which broughttogether from seventy to one hundred and twenty,persons to listen to lectures, recitations and music.In the hall of the University Settlement was organ­ized the Polish Athletic Club of more than fifty mem­bers. This club, being too large to use the Settle­ment hall, was consequently obliged to have themeetings outside of the settlement. It is intendednow to organize a Polish mixed chorus. As soon asthe society for intellectual culture is started, Polishpeople will have their own library in the rooms' of theUniversity Settlement. It will be also one of the firstplaces where the extension lectures in Polish lan-guage will be given. JOSEPHA KODIs, PH.D. ')f .UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.III.'->, THE MUSIC WORK.A survey of the history of the Settlement afteralmost two years of successful operation shows thatno one line of work has been more thoroughly organ­ized and successfully carried on than the music.With the exception of a few early efforts, necessarilymeagre and subordinated to other interests) the musiccampaign began November I, a year ago. By rare goodfortune two able leaders were found who were willingto take up their residence at the Settlement and directthe work-thorough musicians and with special train­ing for such a position. The fact' that Miss Hofer andMiss Roe had served for several years as assistants toMr. 'I'ornlins is significant of the tone and purpose ofthe work.The committee in charge believed firmly in music asa positive agency in moral and spiritual development.Though entertaining it was to give more than enter­tainment. It offered to men and women of manycares not only much needed relaxation, but a grasp onhigher things, a spiritual quickening. It was be­lieved that any community that had been thoroughlysaturated with good music, filled with love and appre­ciation for the best efforts of the great masters, couldnot but take on a really new and higher life..,The first step taken in this direction was thechorus work with the children. Three hundred eagerchildren presented themselves, and to facilitate hand­ling were divided into two classes. That the resultsof the patient work on these crude, uncultured voiceswere little less than marvelous, those will testify whoheard the program given by them at the Universitylast spring. Marvelous also was the transformationin the children themselves; what seemedmore like ahorde of young savages was changed into an orderly,eager chorus.A little later the Orpheus ChoralSociety was organ­ized, composed of about 0!1e hundred men and women.This chorus, while directed by, Miss Hofer, has itsown independent' organization and meets its own'financial problems. I't has received thorough drilland with most gratifying results. Several public per­formances have been given in the neighborhood beforelarge and appreciative audiences. The music sung,thoughsimple, was good.Early ill' N ovem ber was begun one of the mostIn­teresting features of the work-the Sunday afternoon"concerts." Programs of the best music obtainablewere given, and received with great appreciation.Members of the Thomas orchestra, the Apollo club,and many of the foremost artists in the city not onlygave their services but expressed their great willing­ness to perform a second or third time; testifying tothe peculiar sympatheti.c quality of the audience andmarked degree of appreciation. The secret of this is\..I s�mply .that they came, not for a social time, prima­nly, but to get something, that their attitude insteadof being hypercritical was one of frank and open re­ceptivity. To some it may seem strange but theBeethoven, Bach and oratorio programs-so-called" heavy" -were as a rule the most successful. Thepeople-the common people-10v� the best music,and it is worse than foolish to give them in its steadtrash.In addition to what has been mentioned aboveconsiderable individual instruction has been afforded:The outlook this fall in all these difficult lines ismost encouraging. Miss Hofer is again on the groundto direct the work, aided by Miss Scofield, also a resi­dent, and a number of other musicians, and with fullco-operation on the part of the University this yearshould mark a great forward step in the movementthat is making of the Stock-Yards neighborhood areal musical center.Is this not, perhaps, a beginning of music UniversityExtension that the University will in time be glad tofollow up ? C. K.. CHA�E.IV�A PARLOR TALK.The young women of the quadrangles met in theparlor of Beecher Hall on Sunday evening for thepurpose of becoming acquainted with the presentstatus C?f the Settlement work. Miss McDowell ex­plained the character and needs of this great spiritualmovement with her usual charm and zeal, and severalof the listeners were ready at the end of the hour tooffer their services. The speaker insisted upon thefact that the work is not a charity but a great move­ment begun with Christ, continued in London andnow fast growing in our own country. It may becalled an altruistic or humanitarian movement, butpersonally it is an effort to realize Christian ideals.. One must go into the work as a member of a greatfamily, a Christian, but undenominational, for thefamily is greater than any denomi�ation or even thanall of them together.The kindergarten and music seem to be the mostsuccessful efforts. Of the twenty -seven clubs organ­ized last year, nearly all are continued or recognized.Some of the pupils at the Settlement are public school'teachers who long for a college education but mustcontent themselves with one study at a time. Sevenhome libraries have been organized, and the maga­zines for the entire year are loaned for an indefinitelength of time, to any family. A request was madefor the contribution of poems and good romancenovels to accommodate the large number of peoplewho draw the books. Miss McDowell related manypersonal experiences and expressed the earnest hopethat the cultured people of the city would be attractedthere by the lecture courses that are being arranged.5955�6 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Wednesday Afternoon Concert.The Concert this week wasgiven yesterday in Kent Audi­torium by the Kelso Schoolof Musical and Dramatic Art.The program was not 'a variedone but was artistically ren-dered and fully appreciated byall who attended.Miss Agnes Taylor, a grad­uate of the Kelso' school andMISS AGNES TAYLOR.now an instructor pleased the audience very muchwith her piano recital of the" Cradle Song" (Brahms)and " Tarantella" (RafJ).Mrs. Kathryn Davis sang withremarkable expression "SeSaren Rose "(Arditi).

Ac­cording to the daily papers there was a good deal of fun allround. Sixty "laws" were put out of the Chicago OperaHouse in the evening, and went away breathing threats ofsuing. Their combined legal knowledge ought to make out arespectable case. If they do as they threaten, the controversyover the rights of a body of college students in a theater willgo a long way towards settlement. It is hardly possible thatthe audience objected, as was said, to the Northwestern men.Surely the sound and sight of the happy, pleased merriment ofthese dignified law-students was better than any play. Itseems especially appropriate, too, that that play should havebeen the" Merry World," >IUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.>, Rockefeller's Munificent Gift to the University.Saturday afternoon the news reached the studentbody of the University that John D. Rockefeller,founder of this institution, and a prince of earth, ap­preciating our needs and realizing the great work doneby the University, had pledged its trustees for thepurpose of endowment the magnificent sum of threemillion dollars.This is the largest sum ever pledged at anyonetime by one man for educational purposes. This sumtogether with previous donations given by Mr. Rocke­feller amounts to $7.425.000. This sum ismade upof the following gifts:May, 1889 .

However, the build­ings most needed are a biological laboratory, build­ing for the proposed law and medical schools, menand women's dormitories.According to Dr. Goodspeed the present pecuniaryvalue of the University amounts to $I,500,000, and itwill require an additional outlay of $4,5°0,000 to com­plete it along the lines upon which the establishmentwas originally projected.The original plans have been somewhat enlargedupon, but nothing definite can be decided until thefinancial condition of the institution will permit.The present institution is a result of the gifts of Mr.Rockefeller before mentioned, and those of the follow­ing high-minded and philanthropic persons.

Itis surprising to the WEEKLY that certain Chicago or­ganizations composed of erstwhile college men, in­stead of supporting a team struggling to sustain thename of our fair city, should show their jealousy orIll-breeding by indulging in remarks unbecoming inany man, to say nothing of a college bred man.The Settlement in Need.If the wise Solomon had said, "In weakness thereis strength," and put the expression into his book ofProverbs, he would probably have made the mistakeof his life. Yet such a proverb, apparently impossible,might be enunciated on a basis of fact. Its exegesiswould be this: Strength may reach the point where itrepels sympathy; weakness excites sympathy-s-an ele­ment of strength --therefore, "In weakness there isstrength.' ,We would not be taken too seriously in such anargument as this, but it seems as if some strange kindof logic must' be resorted to if we would account forthe condition now existing at the University Settle­ment, namely, the way in which the Settlement hasnot received the support it deserves from members ofthe University. The thought of many who are askedto help in the work is often something like this:"The University Settlement, backed by the Un i­vers,ity, and the University backed by John D. -­Um-m-well, such a strong enterprise needs no help from me. I guess I'll not bother myself with it."Such reasoning is false. There may be divisions ofthe University which do not depend wholly on indi­vidual effort, but the Settlement, while designated bythe name "University," is actually a private enter­prise depending for its support, not on the corporateinstitution, on President Harper or on the trustees,but on the individual members of the University,teachers and students. Yet the wrong impression iswidely received that the strength of any organizationis necessarily assured if it but bear the name" Uni­versity." Herein might be, if the facts were other­wise, the strength of the Settlement. But herein isreally its weakness. It is erroneously supposed to bean organic part of the University. It cannot becomestrong while this mistaken idea exists.At this time the Settlement is passing through the'most critical period of its history. It has had a hot­house growth. The clubs are all crowded and manyother clubs, most urgently needed, and for which thepeople of the neighborhood are earnestly asking, haveto be denied existence because of lack of room. The" crowding of tenement districts" is being again ex­emplified right in these buildings used wholly for thepeople. Men and money must be had to meet thesenecessities. A loan of five hundred dollars has beennecessary to pay expenses which should have beenmet by SUbscription. Heroic efforts have been madeby certain ones, who have stood many times theirshare of expense and work. Unless support is nowreceived from others the result may be discreditableto the members of the University. A little help fromeach one, and the whole is done!Said one student: "The Settlement idea is verygood in theory, but somehow in practice, ,I confess mymind has not been greatly impressed by it." This isthe attitude of many. Yet Professor Small, PrincipalFairbairn, and others have repeatedly declared that theSettlement will always do more for the Universitythan the latter can repay. Here is a great opportun­ity. You can help your neighbor by some of thethoughts which so invigorate the air you live in, andyou yourself need only to try this work in order toreceive the benefit of it. Remember that the wholedepends on voluntary individual effort.Here is a novel remedy for an earthquake shock. A resi­dent of the quadrangles took two quinine capsules about 5A..

The Maroons, politely asking pardon fortheir seeming roughness, commenced to shove theother way, and, be it said to the everlasting credit ofthe Cardinals, they were not to be outdone in gentle­manly behavior, and considerately stood out of theway while the ball was worked southward and overthe line. Time and again some hot-headed Cardinalswould temporarily forget the ethics of the game andin the excitement of the moment lay violent handsupon the person of some Maroon, only to be sent spin­ning along the green sward as a reminder of his for­getfulness.Nichols played a fairly passable game.

T'here were all kinds of coaches there,from Jo Flint to tally-ho, and they were all full tooverflowing-with enthusiasm. There were also agreat many red stockings on the field, and many ofthe spectators couldn't tell how to yell until the line­up, because of the similarity of the cardinal andmaroon hosiery. The general good nature prevalentwas evidenced in the case of one tally-ho which ar­rived somewhat late. The occupants inquired howthe game stood, and a bystander fabricated a cheerfullittle lie to the effect that Chicago was ahead. Amighty yell went up from the two dozen coachers.Another yell of equal magnitude went up a momentlater when they learned the truth, and they yelled in­cessantly throughout the game whenever a good playwas made.The game was advertised to begin at 2:30 sharp,but the point got broken off somehow and game wascalled, with Chicago kicking off against the wind andsun, about three o'clock. Wisconsin took the balland proceeded to have fun with it after the most ap­proved fashion. They ran, bucked, shoved, pushedand laid down, every time for a gain. Chicago, al­ways courteous, politely stood to one side andallowed her" company" to have the fun. It was anexhibition of politeness and civility that would have " PHIL" ALLEN.porarily murdered many gentlemen who were pos­sessed of an insane desire to stop him in his onwardcareer. Neel, as a' high kicker, might secure an en­gagement in a dime museum.The fun was fast and furious and there was lots ofit, and everybody was happy. Even Wisconsin saidit was well done. And Wisconsin spoke truly.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Athletic Notes.Champaign and Minnesota had easy games Saturday, andwon by large scores to nothing. Rush defeated only 40-0 byMichigan last week, allowed Champaign to run up 38 points.N. W. University defeated Purdue Saturday by practicallythe same score that she ran up against us. Purdue was weakon defensive, and did not have the ba11 often enough to showwhat she could do offensively.Some football scores last week: C. C. A. 4, Peuu.

Morgan Park playsHyde Park High on Marshall Field next Wednesday, andought to win. Andy Wyant, center last year, is coaching theacademy team, and so far they have not lost a game. By fartheir most creditable game was this last against L. F. U.The result of the Eastern games Friday and Saturday cameas a complete surprise. That C. A. A. should hold Pennsydown to two touchdowns, one a fluke, and should itself scoreby hard playing; that Yale should run up 28 points on thearmy team; above all that the tiger should eat up Harvard,body, bones, and ribbon, seemed incredible. The betting onthe Harvard-Princeton game was 4-I on the crimson, with fewtakers. Now it will be even money against Yale.Michigan played horse with Oberlin Saturday, Last yearOberlin lost only I4 6. Michigan takes seventeen men Easttomorrow to meet Harvard. The hopes of the West go withher. It is the most important ganie, in a way, to be playedthis y ear, for the reason, of the comparisons it affords. Thereis, at least, hope that Michigan may win, and no one wouldrejoice more sincerely than the western compatriots of theState University of Michigan if the crimson bows to the yel­low and blue.The recent editorials of the Daily Cardinal, of Wisconsin,make very interesting reading in view of the score Saturday.The Badgers came, in scarlet cladTo beat Chicago-beat it bad.They yelled about with voices gladThey'd do again what once they had­The game was called, each Badger ladPlayed hard and fast-he did, egad!The lads on the tally-hos near went mad.But things looked different mighty soon; .The news from the East was a joyous boon,And the latter half of the afternoonTuere was nothing could stop the old Maroon.And the Badgers sung in a different tune;'Twas a wail of woe; 'twas a lullaby croonThey sung by the light of the rising moon.The chamoionsliip of the West is thus far an unknown qnan­tity. To be -sure, Michigan has not as yet been defeated, oreven scored on ; nor, on the other hand, has she played anyWestern team claiming precedence. Northwestern has de­feated the 'Varsity and Pnrdue, which probably places theEvanstonians in the van up to this time. Minnesota has achance against Michigan on the 23rd. If she wins, it wouldso complicate the championship as to preclude any possibilityof settling it satisfactorily. Illinois may play Northwesternlater in the season. A victory would help her claims im­mensely. Madison and Purdue are entirely out of the run­ning. The 'Varsity, if it wins all its games from now on, canclaim the indisputed championship. So can Michigan, provided 601Chicago defeats Northwestern. As a matter of fact, then, thesettlement of the championship lies in the result of the gamewith Evanston on the I6th.

His d-eath removesanother prominent American.The Celebration.Tuesday night witnessed the greatest united dem­onstration the University has thus far experienced.As Mr. Rockefeller's gift is unparalleled, so the meet­ing held in celebration of our great good fortune wasunparalleled.- Formalities of every nature were thrown aside.Everybody yelled, hurrahed, sung and laughed. Byactual count there were seventy-nine different kinds ofyells heard on the campus between 6 : 19 and I I : 59P. M. Every division of the University took a handin the general jollification. Staid professors indulgedin immoderate mirth, at the risk of all standards ofclass discipline. Horns, bonfire, transparencies, ban­ners, calcium lights and a happy expression 011 everyface caused the astonished natives of Hyde Park tostand in silence and in amazement, wondering whatstrange new thing had come in to upset the Uni-, versity dignity.The largest gathering of students and teachers everassembled in procession on the campus, started, at 8o'clock, to march on Kent Laboratory. Everybodysaw that it would be impossible to get this crowdinto the theater. Yet in they crowded, and the over­flow had a meeting in Cobb Hall. For two hours inKent, speeches of every character, all happy, manyhumorous and many serious, were given by profes­sors, students, trustees and others.

It is agood big broad laugh from beginning toend.
