UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Single Copies10 Cents. VOL. IV, NO.7.CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, NOVEMBER 14, 1995.MI\N ·I\ND WOMI\N-I\ FI\BLE.GEORGE B. MC CLELLAN.On the same mossy bank of a running brook,Stood a sturdy oak and a willow.And the strong oak bowed in never a storm,Though the willow bent its lithe, frail form;For the oak stands fastThrough storm and blast,While the willow droops to the storm-proof earthAnd makes of its damp breast a pillow. But if ever there come a storm too fierce,Then, like life-boot and ship tossed by billow,The willow maybend and again grow tallBut the oak alas, must totter and fall iFor its very strengthIs its death at length,And it cannot rise and be strong againLike the supple and bending willow.DR. SEE'S,DISCOVCRY OF THE TRIPLE ST I\R "70" OPHINCHI.Much interest wasmanifested last weekin the announcementthat Dr. T. ]. ]. Seehad detected the ex­istence of a thirdbody in the systemof 70 Ophinchi.One of the editorsof the WEEKLY,called on the astron­omer at his residenceonly to find himcompletely engulfedwith his computa­tions. 'Last week hebegged. to be excusedfrom making any statement, but this week Dr. Seekindly gave the following account of his discovery:"I have been very reluctant to make any publicannouncement of the discovery of a third body in thesystem of 70 Ophinchi. until the researches were inshape to be communicated to the Astronomical Journal,but as this has now been effected with the assistanceof three of my graduate students, Mr'. Doolittle, Mr.Moulton and Mr. Lawton, the principal facts in thecase may be seated as follows:" 70 Ophinchi is a naked eye star of the fourth mag­nitude easily visible in this latitude during the sum­mer season of the year. It was noted in the first ofall star catalogues made by Ptolemy, during the timeof the Emperor Hadrian, and the record made in theAlmagest caused it to be reo bserved by the ArabianAstronomer, Al Sufe,' about 950 A. D. When Flam-DR. 1'. J. J. SEE. steed, the contemporary of Newton, made a catalogueof all the naked eye stars he numbered this star ' 70 'in the Constellation Ophinchus. Hence the name70 Ophinchi."Sir William Herschel found that the star wasdouble in '1779, and in 1804 he announced that it hada rapid orbital motion. It was subsequently observedwith the greatest care by StruvevBessel Madler, Sir] ohn Herschel, Dembowski Otto Struve, Secchi, Schi­aparelli, Hall, Burnham and others. Altogetherabout 400 .mean observations'have been secured, eachmean being derived from several night's work, so thatthe labor bestowed on this system has been enormous.More than twenty orbits have been computed, thefirst of which was by the great German astronomer,Eucke .. But, in recent years it became known that allthe old orbits had failed, as the smaller star refusedto follow any of th,em."Finally, in 1893, Professor Schur, of Gottingen,made a most elaborate and profound investigation ofall the observations, and derived an orbit which oughtunder ordinary circumstances to hold good almost in­definitely.' But when I was in Virginia last April, Imeasured 70 Ophinchi very carefully, on three goodnights, and on returning to Chicago and compar­ing the measures with Schur's orbit, I found that theorbit did not represent the measures, and that theangle was 'out' four degrees. All this error hadaccumulated within two years after Schur finishedhis orbit. On examining all the measures' mostprofoundly, and making a great many efforts to 'cor­rect' my orbit so as to represent the observations, Ifound that the body had an irregular motion, thatcould not be reconciled to any elliptic orbit! I hesi-To Emma Abbott.The following poem, by Eugene Field, acquires a peculiarinterest from the poet's death. It has been published onlyonce before.606 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.tated to adopt the idea of a perturbing body, becauseno exactly similar case had ever before occurred inthe history of astronomy. But in 1840, Bessel foundan analogous perturbation in the proper motion ofSirius, and Alvan Clarke has since discovered thecompanion with the Dearborn telescope which usedto belong to the old Chicago University and is now atEvanston. On applying the theory of a disturbingbody very carefully I found that it represented theirregularities in the motion of 70 Ophinchi almostperfectly. The period of the perturbation is aboutthirty-six years, and the orbit described by the brightcompanion in consequence of this dark body is aboutthe size of that of the planet Mars.0' The ellipse described by the visible companion issomewhat larger than the orbit of Uranus, the lengthof the semi-major axis being twenty-three times theradius of the earth's orbit, so that the perturbations ofthe bright body are sensible but not enormously large." The parallax of this star is known and we find thetotal mass of the system is nearly twice that of thesun and earth combined."Owing to the perturbations of this dark body, thecompanion of 70 Ophinchi is made to describe a wavy·curve around the central star." It will be a matter of great interest to search for thisdark body with the 4o-inch Yerkes telescope nextyear; and I shall take the first available opportunityto look for it. If this triple star is discovered visu­ally, it will be the first object of the kind ever detectedfrom the theory of its pertnrbations, and would be anachievement worthy of any effort.'0 The perturbations of the dark star are very distinctand it seems .probable that it will be bright enough tobe seen with the great 40-inch Yerkes telescope :though of course we cannot be sure of this in ad vance." But by the refined methods of modern mathemat­ical astronomy we may prove the existence of thedark body and know where it is, even if we cannotsee it."The Dramatic Club.The Dramatic Club of the University, held a meet­ing last Friday for the election of new members. Thepersonnel of the club as it now stands is-MissesKane, Schwarz, Wilmarth, Ide, Reddy, and Rew,Messrs. Atwood, Law, ]. S. Brown, Pike, Chace,Nichols and McClintock. Members not in Univer­sity, Miss Cook, Miss Sievey, Mr. Grant.The newly elected officers for the year are: Mr.Robert Law, President; Miss Theo Kane, Vice-Presi­dent; Miss Edith Schwarz, Secretary; Mr. W. W.Atwood, Business Manager.A committee on Selection of Plays has been ap­pointed and on its report the Club expects to bringout a 'play in the near future. There-let thy hands be foldedAwhile in sleep's repose;The patient hands that wearied not,But earnestly and nobly wroughtIn charity and faith,And let thy dear eyes close.The eyes that looked alway to God,Nor quailed beneath the chastening rod,Of bitter sorrow;Fold then thy hauds and eyes,For just a little while;And with a smileDream of the morrow.And, 0 white voiceless flower!The 'dreams which thou shalt dreamShould be a glimpse of heavenly things,For yonder like a seraph singsThe sweetness of a life,With faith alway its theme ;While speedeth from the realms aboveThe messenger of that dear loveThat healeth sorrow;To sleep a little while,For thou shalt wake and singBefore thy KingWhen cometh the morrow.EUGENE FIELD.The Hyde Park Boys' Club.The methods for reaching the social life of boyshave radically improved and widened in the past fewyears. Formerly the catechism and the birch weresupposed to be sufficient "apparatus for the cultivationof the virtues in the youth. Now there is no methodof sociological research nor cult of pedagogy that isnot bending its effort to reach the boys.Last year a n umber of benevolent people of HydePark instituted the Hyde Park Boys' Club for the cul­tivation and study of that interesting specimen of thegenus homo-the Hyde Park boy. The club made asuccessful outcome and so encouraged the originatorsof the enterprise that this year a larger and betterequipped clubroom has been rented at 5640 Lake ave­nue and the work reorganized on a more extensivescale.Mr. C. L. Snowden of the University was called tothe superintendency and into this work Mr. Snowdenhas brought considerable experience in social settle­ment work and city missions, as well as a knowledgeof affairs gleaned from several years of newspapercareer. His idea is that the boys themselves are tobe looked to for the greater part of the routine work,and to this end has arranged committees to attend tothe library, leaders for the calisthenic drills andchampionship checker tournaments. There havebeen already enrolled fifty-five boys with many moreUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.applications which can not be received on account oflack of room. - The average attendance is about forty.The two rooms now in use are well lighted and steamheated, with tables and chairs for the accommodationof thirty boys. A 1ibrary of nearly one hundred vol­umes has been brought in as the contribution offriends and a number of games have also been con­tributed. More games, books and illustrated papersare al ways welcome.The boys are not from the lower stratus of society,but from respectable families living in the crampedquarters of the adjacent fiats and apartment houses,and the Club offers unusual facilities for a socialstudy, which we aver cannot be afforded anywhereelse in Chicago.The self-sacrifice of the young people's societies ofHyde Park churches is at the back of this most inter­.esting and valuable' social effort and the workers aregathered from the same source.Mr. Henry T. Chase is president, Mr. F. ColbyLucas is secretary, and Mr. H. V. Freeman is treas­urer. The executive committee also comprehendsthe Misses Wilkinson, Herrick, Irving, and Coon andMessrs. Burns and Lutz. Any of the Universitymen or women who wish to participate in the workwill be welcomed at the Club rooms any evening be­tween seven and nine o'clock.Versicles... Autumn.It is one of those beautiful autumn days when Summer saysgood-bye,-positively her last appearance. The suu shineswarm and bright and the distances are blue with Indian sum­mer haze. Down in the hollow there are billows of greenmarsh-grass, fresh as in the heart of the summer. Out of theground come odors, racy and pungeut as the smell of forestloam. A lyric wind just stirs the crisping oak leaves, and hereand there they rustle down to earth.Dreamy haze and mellow sunshine, filtering through therusted, red-brown branches, the sigh of the oak-trees partingwith their leaves,-all these are living lullabies, while Naturegoes to sleep, so slowly, gently, peacefully.

The presence lastyear in the Academic College of thirty-one young, E. O. SISSON, PRiNCIPAL.men and women from this school show that it has notfailed in this aim.The founders .of the school were Mr. Ralph P.Smith, a graduate of Denison University, and Mr.Edward O. Sisson, a grad-uate of the University ofChicago.' Both of the principals did graduate workin their special lines of work. Near the end of thesecond year, Mr. Smith resigned to take a position inthe University of Illinois, where he is now AssistantProfessor of German. Ris work was all-important inthe establishment of the school, and his students uni­versally remember him as a teacher of power and in­spiration, and a friend of unfailing kindness and help­fulness. His work' at Champaign is as marked asuccess as it was here. -It is an interesting fact that all the teachers in theacademy have been members of the University. Two besides Mr. R. P, Smith have gone to occupy chairsin colleges, Mr. J. Archy Smith, to the professorshipof Mathematics in Shurtleff College, and Mr. S. E.Swartz, to the chair of Chemistry in the same insti­tution, In any historical sketch of the school, aprominent place must be given to the name of Mr.Edgar J. Goodspeed, well-known in University circles,who has for two years had charge of the Latin. depart­ment ; he has brought-to his work a scholarship whichis seldom found in academy work, and a carefulnessand quiet energy which have made his work an un­.qualified success.More recent additions to the teaching force are Mr.Otto Folin, who succeeded Mr. Swartz; as instructorin Chemistry and Physics; Mr. Orlo .J. Price, whowas last year at Pillsbury Academy as teacher ofMathematics; Mr. W. E. Whaley, instructor in His­tory, and Mr. Max Batt, ill German.The students of a school are certainly no lessworthy of attention than the teachers; the 'body ofstudents in this school will appear to a careful ob­server to be marked by unusual devotion to the busi­ness in hand. The fact that the great majority havedirectly before them the hope of membership and suc­cessful work in the college keeps alive the spirit ofaspiration and cultivates the habit of industry. Allthis is shown by its results-no school has contributedmore students to the University, nor secured morehonor in admission, and, short as is its history, itsgraduates have already. found their way into Yale,Rochester and other schools of high rank.An interest in athletics is encouraged, care beingtaken that no student sacrifice his mind to his body;Success has been achieved in football, baseball andgeneral athletics : and students who have gone fromthis school to the University have won distinction onthe diamond and the gridiron as well as in the class­room, as testify the names of Adkinson, Coy, Win-ston and other well-known athletes. .But it is by scholarship that this school has made aplace for itself; and the high character of its work isrecognized in the acceptance of its certificate, by thebest Eastern colleges which admit on certificate, andin its affiliation with the University of Chicago. Allof these things indicate that; with a past not to beashamed of, even a better future awaits the South. Side Academy. fI .�,School and College Conference.Under the auspices of the University, teachers inuniversities and preparatory schools will gather fordiscussion of educational problems to-morrow after­noon, and will continue over Saturday. The confer­ence is the sixth in order held at the University and,judging from the marked interest taken in these con­ferences in the past, it is safe to assume that manyUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.will avail themselves of the opportunities which con­ventions of this kind afford. Ainong the speakerswill be : Prof. F. W. Kelsey, University of Michigan;Prof. John. Dewey, Prof. Julia E. Bulkley and Prof.Charles H. Thurber.Saturday afternoon will be devoted to departmentalconferences which will be conducted as follows: InLatin and Greek, by Professors Miller and Capps; in .Modern Languages, by Professor Bruner and Dr.von Klenze; in English" by Mr. Lovett; in History,by Dr. Schwill; in Mathematics and Astronomy, byDr. Young and Dr. See; in Physics and Chemistry,Professors Stratton and Smith; in Biology, by Profes­sor Jordon; in Physiography and Geology, by Profes­sor Salisbury.Between the morning and afternoon sessions onSaturday, President Harper will entertain the pre­paratory school teachers, as guests of the University,at an informal reception and luncheon at his house.Professor Barnard Lectures.The first great lecture of Professor E.

If you cannot attend daily,plan to attend once a week on 'a regular day. Surelya daily quarter of an hour is little enough to devote toa consideration of our human and divine relations, theless transitory features of our life. Every University,man and woman should think of this matter. Everygraduate student should show appreciation of thechapel service, and the undergraduate should bemindful of his responsibility and be grateful that he isnot" forced to be religious," as he would be in theaverage college, or deprived of his degree because ofan array of "chapel cuts."610 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLYPUBLISHED WEEKLY IN THE, INTEREST OF THE STUDENTS OF THEUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO,EDITORIAL BOARD.FREDERICK DAY NICHOLS,WILLIAM PIERCE LOVETT, MANAGING EDITORASSISTANT EDITORASSOCIATE EDITORS:G.

The rain hadbeen falling continually for two days and drizzled allthrough the game. Consequently the field was verysoft, and filled with innumerable little ponds of water.Good playing was almost impossible and playsthrough the line were the rule. Long runs werevery few, the two longest being one of twenty-fiveyards by Gale and one of eighteen yards by Cap­tain Allen. Flint was tried at end for the first timeand played a creditable game. Captain Allen tookFlint's place at tackle but the rest of the team wasunchanged. For Adelbert, Captain Wickham andGairing played in the best form.When the game was called Chicago kicked offagainst the wind. Adelbert immediately began toplay the tackles and ends and rushed down to Chi­cago's twenty-five yard line. Then Gairing brokethrough and eluded the backs, except Neel, whotackled him just as he crossed the line for a touch­down. This, however, did 110t count as the umpire'had blown his whistle on account of Chicago's ho1cl­ing in the line. The ball was then brought backand Adelbert given fifteen yard on the penalty. ' Theytook if again to Chicago's yard line where it waslost on downs and Chicago rushed it down the fieldfor a touchdown. Adelbert again came near scoringin the second half when, after they had secured theball on Chicago's twenty-five yard line, they rushedit to the goal posts by hard massing. Just as theywere up to the line, however, the ball was fumbled.Neel took the ball on the touchback and kicked itfrom the twenty-five yard line to Adelbert's twenty­five yard line. He did this a second time when at theopening of the second half the ball was fumbled onthe kick-off and rolled on for a 'touchback. Most ofChicago'S gains were made through the line by mass­ing on the tackles. Roby was slightly hurt at theend of the first half and Lamay took his place.Adelbert men say that they played a much strongergame against Chicago Saturday than they did againstMichigan, 'which taken with the shortness of thehalves, which were twenty-five and twenty minutesrespectively, and the wet grounds, accounts for thedifference in the scores. Had t?e field been dry so that end plays might have been safely used, the scorewould have undoubtedly been much larger.The team was very well entertained at the Hollen­den Hotel and greatly enjoy its first trip 'East. Theteam returned' to Chicago at' 9 : 20 Sunday morning.The following is the line up and detailed score: •Ade1bert.Gairing .Tidd ...Thompson.Kreen .Clisby .Lane .McMahon.Gaylord ..Evans ..Wickham (Capt.)Meacham ....

The Morgan Parks have not been scored on thisseason.The Morgan ,Park-Hyde Park football game, for yesterday,on Marshall fi�d, was cancelled, owing to the 'Varsity teams'needing the field.Minnesota and Michigan meet a week from Saturday on thegrounds of the western league at Detroit. The Madison­Minnesota game has lost much of its interest from the previousdefeats of both teams. Madison is stronger on offense, Minne­sota on defense. •t :UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.• Delenda est Evanstonia !Armour Iustitute has disbanded its team.University of Pennsylvania was scored on by the State Col­lege team Saturday, making the second time this season.Princeton beat Cornell 6-0, a strange score, and one showingthe foolishness of figuring on results from previous scores .The big games still remaining in the East, are Princeton-Yale,Harvard-Pennsylvania and Cornell-Pennsylvania.C. A. A. has returned, with four games won and two lost,and an unenviable reputation for slugging. Harry Cornishsays that his men never slug at all, except when necessary,­and McCormick in particular is a little white lamb. Baa!Dartmouth practically won the championship of the triangu­lar league by defeating Amherst 20-0 last Saturday. Thestanding of the league as predicted two weeks ago will beDartmouth, Amherst, Williams. These three colleges haveproposed the formation of a freshmen league in baseball andtrack -athletics.The total points scored against Yale this year amount totwenty-eight, with the Princeton game to come. Four teamshave crossed Yale's line so far: Crescent and Orange, A. C.,West Point and Brown. In her game with Brown Saturday,Yale used no tricks or new plays. Reports come from NewHaven that the team and college are discouraged; that theteam is made up of quitters; that they are afraid of Princeton,and so forth.Northwestern defeat by the. Missouri University team wasunexpected, and a sad set-back to Van Doozer. The game,like every other that day, was played in a sea of mud.Players would dive into the ground, wiggle along, and reap­pear yards further along, sometimes with the ball, but gener­ally without it. Of course the game was not a fair test of themerits of the teams, as Potter's end runs were practically cutoff entirely. Brewer of Northwestern was slightly hurt.There seems to be a disposition on the part of some of thestudents to criticise and belittle the football team. While thistendency extends to no great number of students it is onewhich should not exist at all and which, if not stopped, will doharm to the team. The team needs the support of everystudent and unless that support is given the eleven can hardlyhope to win the game from Minnesota a week from to-morrow.* * * * Tt seems strange that the Cardinal should be com­pelled to urge any portion of the student body to give anycollege organization its heartiest encouragement and it is to behoped that nothing more need be said on this subject- Uni­versity of Wisconsin Cardinal.Of course the most important game Saturday, East or West,was the meeting of Harvard and Michigan. It was practicallya victory for the West, and in a way it sounds the knell ofeastern athletic superiority. Undoubtedly for this year, Mich­igan is on a par with the ': big four" colleges. No doubt,moreover, year for year, Michigan is a better college, athlet­ically than Cornell, which has a place among the best in theEast. Whether Michigan can earn a corresponding place forherself is a question, and for this reason: she plays under thewestern system of allowing graduates, tutors, what not, toplay on her teams, especially in football and baseball. M ich­igan is by no means alone in this j it is the universal practice,which we are only slowly working out of. But as long as shedoes play gradnate students, she will not be allowed as a mem­ber of any eastern league. 10 al1 probability Michigan willattempt to maintain an independent stand allying herselfneither with East or West, but associating with both. As faras the game itself was concerned, it showed Michigan strongerin offense than defense. Harvard was held for four downs onlytwice, but fortunately for Michigan, holding in the line was.Jl•I' 613very common on the crimson side, and the ball changed handfully fifteen times. For this cause, except on kickoff, Mich­igan at no time menaced Harvard's goal.Morgan Park Academy.FOOTBALL.The Park boys again whitewashed a visiting team.This time it was the Lake Forest Academy, which issupposed to have a first-class eleven. In fact it de­feated almost every opponent the year before and wasof much the same complexion up to last Saturday, butlike every other good thing it is liable to outlive itsusefulness. This was their Waterloo. Perhaps therout may be traced to the presence of so much softmud, and the very slippery condition of the grass, butthis state of things affected both sides equally. Itwas altogether a poor day for football, and no largegains were made around the ends. The chief workwas done in bucking the line. ,. Too-much Johnson"did some fine "creeping" and always managed togain a foot or so more than was expected. He hasthe ability to make good "steals" and yesterdayplayed right-half against the Hyde Park High." Buck" Ewing as full back" stabbed" the line sev­eral times, making gains of five or more yards atevery attempt. During a rush his ankle was sprained,which will necessitate his not playing for severalclays.. Fulton held down the right-half in an excel­lent manner. He is one of the neatest, most promis­ing players on the team, and as a result of a generalchange he will play full-back hereafter. Next Satur­day the Academy play Lake Forest Academy at LakeForest.COLUMBIA HALL.Never again can it be said that a Columbian" hathnot where to lay his head," for every member of theliterary society of that name has now a home commonto all.Last Friday night beautiful quarters were formallyopened and dedicated to their use.

He devoted Sunday and two hours Thursdayof each week to' ·his religious functions, and spent allthe remainder of his time in scientific study. He had,as Professor Starr found, a true love for science, andwas possessed of a very rare, almost unlimited knowl­edge of the ruins, and Qther anthropological andarchaeological material of Guatemala.

The body of Uni-versity students will attend this game with the hopeof backing the champions of the West, and with the·firm belief that the team to a man will do its whole.duty.The WEEKLY feels that Prof. Stagg, by his increas­ing enthusiasm and spirit, which he instilled in theminds and hearts of his men, merits in no small degreethe thanks and appreciation of the student body.From the number of University students and profes­sors present at Saturday's game it was evident that theUniversity spirit is rapidly increasing, thereby stimu­lating its representatives on to greater sacrifice andto severer effort.THIS IS THECRITICAL TIME. The U. of M. Daily says in thecourse. of a long editorial:The situation is just this. By the showing made againstHarvard, Michigan has forced recognition from the most con­servative critic� to a place in the first class of football teams.Now we have this position to maintain, and to do this is fullyas difficult as to attain it.Here is good philosophy. The most critical point inthe course of an enterprise is when success has beenreached. How to use success aright is the vital ques­tion. . Greatest success is often followed by greatestfailure.Michigan will manifestly work hard to maintain thehigh position it gained by the Harvard game. TheMichigan-Purdue game Saturday shows the usual re­action after a hard, successful battle. By next Thurs-day the" Wolverines" will be again ready to fightlike fiends. They will come here knowing the signif-icance of the game, and determined to prove not onlyWest, deserve that place.Chicago has retrieved itself from the ignominy ofits defeat by Northwestern, and is now on an equalfooting with Michigan. We must prepare for and 621enter the one great game of the season in the mostconservative and most determined attitude of mind.Saturday's game shows what we can do but not neces­sarily what vye always shall do. Brawn is half thegame,- the other half is brain!others. We may start with the assumption thatMichigan, should it win from Minnesota and Chicago,will have the best right to the coveted title. But letthe supposition enter that Michigan loses one or bothof these games, and at once arises a situation comparedto which the quarrel of the goddesses was child's play.Every college in the West that supports a team bobsup in frantic defense of its own title; and a self-elected" championship team' 'is likely to fare hardly.:Purdue will certainly claim, in her own behalf,that she defeated Minnesota, but it must be remem­bered that Minnesota was sore and used up, and fur­ther, to put it mildly, that that is the only thingPurdue has done. In view of Saturday's games, anyclaims of Northwestern or Wisconsin may with justicebe disregarded, and Illinois has never been. really inthe race, her only claim to greatness being found inthe tie game with Wisconsin.A writer in a recent magazine states thatBAD AIR.the best authorities ascribe the prevalenceof colds at this season of the year to bad indoor airrather than to severe outdoor air, " It is 11Qt c()ld. .,.622 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.air so much that causes throat and lung diseases," he'says, "but bad air." The bearing of these state­ments upon. the condition of recitation rooms at thisUniversity is obvious. There are a few professorswho are thoughtful about this vitally important mat­ter. A large proportion pay no attention whatever tothe position of transoms and windows. The air ofmany of these rooms, especially on still days, is foul• and poisonous and the long hours spent in them by .professors and students must certainly be exceedinglyinjurious to health. A prominent educator from thefaculty of an Eastern institution is now in Coloradoas an incurable consumptive, and the doctors ascribehis disease wholly to unventilated class rooms. Andsuch incidents might be multiplied. Culpable negli­gence of this sort at this University seems to be due'to two causes: thoughtlessness, and fear of evil resultsfrom draughts. Since the professor has usually toomuch on his mind to expect him to care for the ven­tilation of the room, some member of the class shouldbe appointed to look after this matter systematically.There should be a thorough airing between hoursas well as a constant free circulation. And as todraughts, ventilation with the provisions made in theconstruction of the buildings, may be perfect andcause discomfort to no one. But a little attention tothe direction of the wind is necessary, as well as anunderstanding of the general principles of ventilation.Professor Talbot, we are sure. would be glad to give a" pointer" or two to anyone who desires it. Andthe University should also provide for every roomsome means of lowering and raising the upper win­dows. As it is now, it is necessary to hunt over prettymuch the whole building in order to find a window­pole. The subject of pure air is certainly important'enough to merit serious attention.The Associations.Y. n. C.

The most important circumstanceof the occasion was the fact that Chicago had thebetter eleven. The team which attended the ob­seq uies of Van Doozer's men was not the same whichallowed the eleven from the North Side to run awaywith the midway boys in a previous contest. TheEvanstonians, with the possible exception of Potter,played fully as well in Saturday's game as they didin the former contest, but this time they confronted adifferent team. The game was won on its merit andthere was no fluke during the contest. The score,however, would probably have been 12-0 instead of6-0, had we not unfortunately fumbled the ball onNorthwestern's ten-yard line when everything was inour favor.

The New York Journal wants exclusively aseries of articles written on the scene of action. The New YorkHerald wants something and the North. American Review hasengaged an article on the Mexican dwarfs. Among the hostsof people who" want to go too" and who offer all sorts of in­ducements is a bicycle rider who advises Mr. Starr to makethe trip "a wheel." Two old soldiers also plead, as unusual 627qualifications for such work, that they "know how to obeyorders." A curious circumstance is that only one of the letters.contained a stamp for a reply. Professor Starr says: " I shouldbe only too happy to take the time necessary for answeringthe questions of all these letters, telegrams and reporters, if Ithought that it would end ia bringing a handsome endowmentto the department." Thus far the professor has clung to hispurpose of taking with him only one man, a guide and helper.Professor B. S.

V. N. Myers,pps. 576. Ginn & Co" Boston.Prof. Myers is widely known through his "Medi�val andModern History" and other works as one gifted with the raretalent for writing brief historical surveys and text-books. Hismarked success in this difficult field has arisen from his generalaccuracy, and his skillful combination of brevity and detail. Hehas resolutely excluded everything not of prime importanceand then he has clothed these few events with enough detail tomake them interesting and vivid, and his use of detail is suchas to appeal to the imagination in a phrase or a sentence, em­bodying some trivial incident it may be, and yet making thescene more real and vivid than a volume of catalogued facts.Another source of strength to Prof. Myers as a text-book com­piler is his perception of the meaning of every incident andhis emphasis upon the development of the life of the people.No fact is told for its own sake or out of its relations. Thenas these excellencies of his other books characterize the" His­tory of Greece." No work of the sort can of course be satis­isfactory. So brief a treatment, must of necessity be dogmaticand at times fragmentary. Yet this book is full of merit andis doubtless the best text-book upon Greek history that hasappeared.The Beginnings of Writings, by Walter James Hoffman, M.D., of theBureau oj American Ethnology, Smithsonian Institution. pp. I96. D. Ap-pleton & Co., New York. .This is the third volume in the" Anthropological Series,"edited by our own Professor Starr. The aim of this series is tobe popular and yet scientific and to afford an opportunity forworkers in the field of anthropology to present the results oftheir researches in form available to the public and valuableto the student. The author of the" Beginnings of VV'riting "has been a successful and zealous worker in the field of Ameri­can linguistics, pictography and religions. This volume pre­sents the material he has collected from these sources as itbears upon the fascinating study of the origin of writing.Much of this has not hitherto been published except in officialreports. It is a valuable contribution to the subject, and itpresents to the general reader a clear account of the progressfrom pictures to symbols and on to conventional signs andfinally to phonograms or letters. The volume is not quite sowell written as it should be and is evidently the work of onewho has had but a limited experience in book-making. 11Iu�­trations are freely and wisely used.IVClassified Business Notices.Barbers.UNIVERSITY SHAVING PARLOR, 556. 55th St., between Ellis and Ingleside.Carpentering.SM.
