UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Single Copies10 Cents. VOL. IV, No. 14.CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, JANUARY 9, 1896.THE W/\NDERING WIND.CHARLES SUMNER PIKE.Over the hills and the vales,Down thro' the grass-matted plain,Over the dunes and the dales,Blinded by torrents of rain,"'he wind in its wandering flies,Leaving dead leaves in its track;\ud ever and ever it cries,"Beloved, beloved, come back !" Over the mountains and seas,Down thro' the freshly-plowed plain,Over the lakes and the leas,Sounding through stubbles of grain,The wind iu its wandering speeds,Like a wolfling astray from a pack;And ever it moans thro' the meads,"Beloved, beloved, come back! "Thus after the summer has fled,And goue are the odors of spring,After the roses are dead,And the birds are unwilling to sing,My heart with the wanderer flies,Wailing with wordless" alack" ;"Sweetheart, 0 sweetheart," it cries,"Beloved, beloved, come back! "CLOVERNOOK, THE HOME OF THE CI\RY SISTERS.ZELLA ALLEN DIXSON.The scenes which form the daily environment ofchildhood leave such an indelible impress on charac­acter that the intimate knowledge and understanding"cLoVERNOOK" FARM WITH HOUSE IN THE DISTANCE.of individual life must carry with it some insight intothe pictures of early life which have been stampedupon the memory. This is especially true of the sen­sitive, poetic nature possessed by literary genius. Thepower to take hold of these early impressions, to keep them for us pure and unsullied from the world, and totransmit .them .to. others in some choice bit of prosepastel or pastoral poem was essentially the provinceof the Cary sisters. No one can read either the charm­ing " Clovernook Papers" of Alice Cary or the sweetvolume of poems ,by the two sisters without becomingfamiliar with the humble little home in the Miamivalley, so loyally have they enshrined the lovingmemory of their early life in this golden casket." Clovernook ". is situated on the highest point ofMt. Healthy, eight miles from Cincinnati and is atypical Ohio farm very much like a dozen others,which may be visited in the same morning, having itsonly plea for greatness in the fact that here on the26th of April, 1820, Alice Cary, the sweetest singer ofour nation was born and on September 4th, 1824, wasborn here also, Phoebe, her sister, and lifelong com­panion in her literary labors. The house is a small,square building, unpainted and unadorned, standingback in the front yard, with a strip of lawn separat­ing it from the roadway. On the north side of thehouse there is a quaint old porch supported by col­umns, from the steps of which a well worn path leadsto an old picturesque well of never failing water. Oneither side lifting their luxuriant branches into thevery bedroom windows above, stand several fruit692 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY�trees. On the opposite side of the house is a mam­moth sweet-briar climbing to the roof and seeminglythe only thing about the place designed solely tobeautify. A little to the rear stands in imminentdanger of collapse, the old barn with the swallows fly­ing in and out as of old. It is just as it was when- theCary children used to go there for their play and laterwhere Alice and Phoebe hid a way with their preciousbooks from the overwatchful eye of their unsympa­thetic stepmother.As we stood facing the west we looked on the viewwhich greeted Alice Cary each morning as she lookedfrom her window - a beautiful stretch of woodland,fields of clover bordered by great shady forest trees,with here and there a patch of golden corn. You willoften find this view described as you read from coverTHE HOUSE IS A SMALL, SQU A�E BUILDING.to cover of her poems. It was of this scene so deeplypainted on her sensitive mind that she wrote yearsafterward from the city of New York."Oh, good painter, tell me true,Has your hand the cunning to drawShapes of things you never saw?Yes! Well here's an order for you.Woods and cornfields, a little brownOf a cloud when the summer sun is down,Alway and alway, night and morn,Woods upon woods, with fields of cornLying between them, not quite sere,And not in the full, thick, leafy bloom,When the wind can hardly find breathing roomUnder their tassels,-cattle near,Biting shorter the short green grass,And a hedge of sumach and sassafras,With bluebirds twittering all around,-'-Ah, good painter you cannot paint sound,­These and the house where I was born,Low and little and black and old,With children many as it can hold,All the windows open wide,Heads and shoulders clear outside:And fair young faces all ablush;Perhaps you may have seen some day, Roses crowding the selfsame way,Out of a wilding wayside bush."In such a home Alice and Phoebe Cary began theirlives. From their father they inherited their strongpoetic nature, their love of country scenes, their powerof expression; from their mother they received theirintense love of reading, their thirst for knowledge,their practical common sense, which stood them goodwhen left to battle alone with the world. Whiletheir mother lived their lives were all sunshine, andevery sacrifice was made to give them the advantagesof an education. But the first shadow of their sadlives fell across the pathway when in 1835 the belovedmother suddenly sickened and died. Two years latertheir father married again, bringing into the home awoman of sturdy integrity but no power to appreciatea nature other than her own. She was a woman withpractical ideas and had no sympathy with any mem­ber of her sex who was not content to be "simply ahousewife, nothing more." Alice was now fifteen andPhoebe eleven. Both were devoting their time to thestudies of the village school and using their sparemoments trying to improve the poetry of their readersor varying the. monotony of their copy books withoriginal rhymes of their own. A hard stepmothersoon made sad havoc with these occupations. Bothgirls were kept busy at household duties from morn­ing till evening, but they still endeavored to makesome progress intellectually by studying evenings,using the candle ends for light to save expense. Soonhowever, even this was denied- them and they werecompelled to pursue their studies in hidden places andby the meager light furnished by soaking rags inlard; for their stepmother could not believe that burn­ing candle ends for such a purpose was either wise orproper, nor that reading was better than darningstockings, nor the making of poems more profitableemployment than baking bread. For ten long yearsthey struggled against such great hindrances,. yetalways advancing in culture and knowledge. Duringthis period the books accessible to them did not fillone small shelf, and consisted of the following: TheBible, a history of the Jews, 'Charlotte Temple,Clarke's Travels, a hymn book, a mutilated novel andone serial, The Trumpet. The latter was their great­est joy, and was the first avenue through which theirwritings _ reached the outside world. Phoebe, yearsafterward, in speaking of this time and of the joy itwas to them to see their verses in print, said, "Oh, ifthey could only look to me. now as they did then! Itwould be better than money. I did not care any morehow hard my life was, some one had cared enough formy verses to print them." The later years on thefarm were destined to be happier ones than those oftheir early maidenhood. Their father built a newhouse across the way and he and the new mother livedUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.by themselves there while the children kept house bythemselves in the old. New books were added to thepoor little shelf, and Alice began the same winter toearn small sums with her verses. Her first engage­ment was for Dr. Bailey, then editor of the NationalEra of Washington. She received ten dollars forweekly contributions covering a period of four months.In the spring of I 850 the sisters decided t6 use th�one hundred dollars which had come to them from thefirst published edition of their first poems to defray theexpenses of a trip to New York, and into the world ofletters which was to them the Promised Land. Theyvisited many noted literary persons, calling on manywho had written to them words of encouragement andapprobation. Whittier refers to their visit to him inhis beautiful poem beginning,"Years since,-but names to me before­Two sisters sought at eve my door,Two song birds wandering from their nest,A grey old farm-house in the West."This trip decided them to begin at once a deter­mined fight for a place for themselves in the literaryworld. They rented two rooms in an unfashionablestreet where the rent W9S low and the noise of thegreat city of New York less deafening. It was thegreat secret of their :financial success that they insistedat the start upon having a home--not a lodging--beit ever so humble, doing for themselves whatever theycould not afford to have done for them, and usingtheir womanly skill to the utmost to make ,their littlehome as restful and homelike as possible. Alice pa­pered the walls of the room to make them cleanerand Phoebe made frames of bright cloth for the pict­ures and gave the woodwork a coat of fresh paint.This sweet home nest helped to keep off the worst ofthe (( out on the world" blasts and made the most ofthe small stock of strength each had brought into theventure.At this time Alice was passing through the greatsorrow of her life, which must be understood to be insympathy with the vein of sadness which character­izes this period of her literary work. Business inter­ests had brought into her neighborhood while she wasa young girl on the farm, a young man of better edu­cation and more cultured manners than those of theyoung men with whom she had associated. A strongfriendship sprang up between them which ripenedinto love and they became betrothed.His family-rich and prosperous=-objected bitterlyto his marriage with a country girl, but he vowed tobe true to her and to return to marry her as soon ashe could earn a settled income. The engagement was'never broken and Alice loved and waited for the loverwho never came, until finally she read of his marriageto another through the published notice in the NewYork papers. It was in this gn�at sorrow that Alice Cary's best literary success was attained. Manyyears afterward when the Cary sisters were the centerof the best and most brilliant society of the East andhad for their personal friends the most celebratedwomen and men of the age she met again her truantlover. His wife had died and he sought to renewthose early pledges, but Alice Cary had accepted asthe love of her life the literary work which was herrefuge when he had failed her, and she never saw himagain after that one interview. Her nature was astrong one. She had loved him truly but her senseof the wrong he had done her was strong within her.She had the courage to live her life without him andto make a success of it.In I856 the sisters moved to the pretty house onTwentieth street. Two years later Alice bought itand it became their last earthly abiding place.From the very beginning this home was the centreof all the literary life of that day and was one of thechoicest and most sought after circles in New Yorksociety. Intensely interested in all public questions,well posted in-all current events, full of strong patri­otic love of their country and belief in it, they natur­ally attracted to their home the great in all walks oflife. The atmosphere of their parlors was such thatall men, married or unmarried, could visit them with­out fear of gossip or scandal. Yet amid all this ad­miration Alice and Phoebe Cary longed constantlyfor the old farm and its surroundings. Each sat inher study room, beautiful with brio-a-brae from manylands and fragrant with the tokens of success, yeteach with closed eyes saw again the little Ohio farm,and whenever the gifted pens were at their best work,there was sure to be some sweet and tender picture of(.

To the casual observer no particularimportance would probably be attached to the fivesmall figures on the leaf following the title page ofeach book of the University. To one trained in li­brary work, they form a very valuable feature of thebook.In the accession department a complete record iskept of each new book. This record includes theauthor, title, place and date of publication, publisher,paging, size, style of binding, statement whether thebook is purchased, given or received in exchange forour periodicals; its price, if purchase, and the depart­ment to which it is to be sent; thus forming a recordwhich can be used to identify the book at any futuretime when any question may arise concerning it.The number given to it is the duplicate of the recordnumber in the accession book.In the work of this department, the right of wayis given to new books as they arrive, but in the inter­vals between the arrivals of these purchases, work isbeing carried on upon the Calvary library and othercollections purchasedor given to the University. Theaccession records now reach 74,5QO �hich includeTHE UNIVERSITY LIBRI\RY.IThe' University library consists of the generallibrary, thirty-one departmental libraries, seventytraveling libraries and two branch libraries at MorganPark. There are about 300,000 volumes distributedin these different departments, making our librarynext to the largest University library in thiscountry.This vast number of books is being catalogued asrapidly as possible. Each departmental library hasan author catalogue and in some instances a subjectcatalogue as well. Where the latter has not as yetbeen provided the books are arranged on the shelvesaccording to subjects. These departmental librariesare conveniently located with reference to the lectureroom 'or laboratory. With the idea of encouragingstudents in the use of books they are allowed freeaccess to the shelves. The attendants who havecharge of the work of replacing books and keepingthem in order will bear testimony that the students ofthe University avail themselves very extensively ofthe privileges thus granted.The general library orders, receives and accessionsall books before they are delivered to the differentUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY. 695departmental libraries and a portion of those cata­logued in the general library.The catalogue in the general library consists of theauthor and title catalogue, each arranged iu alphabet­ical order, and the subject catalogue arranged innumerical order. Most interest centers about thesubject catalogue. Anyone wishing to know theresources of the library upon any subject turns first tothe "Relatio Index of the Decimal Classification';and finds the number under which the subject wantedoccurs. This refers him at once to the subject cata- logue where he finds all the references in all booksand pamphlets on his subject in the library. Theremay be no royal road to learning, bJjt the subject cata­logue is a "short cut" to information which makesknowledge easily accessible.It is only within recent years that the importanceof a library in connection with college and universitylife has been realized. The one is the storehouse, theother the workshop. The two together suggestalmost an ideal condition for searching after thatwhich is the end of all knowledge-Truth.Traveling Libraries of the University of Chicago.These are used in connection with the lecturecourses of the University Extension Department.Perhaps the people who appreciate most fully theblessings of the traveling library are the librarians ofsmall towns, for they experience the difficulty of fur­nishing from their usually limited resources the nec­essary reading for extension courses held in theirvicinity. Thanks to the traveling library, no townthat can be reached by boat, rail or wagon need lackextension courses for want of books.Following the example of the University of NewYork, our own University established a system oftraveling libraries concerning which a few figuresmay be of interest. In brief, we have about one hun­dred such libraries, containing from fifteen to fiftybooks each on various subjects, the most popular be­ing literature and sociology, a fact not strange in thispractical age, if'we remember that one study is a re­flection and the other- an interpretation of life.The books in these libraries have severally beenweighed and recommended for purchase by a special­ist in the department of which the books treat, andinclude best authorities on all sides of the topic dis­cussed. Such selection by competent judges enablesthe reader without loss of time to make his reading,however limited, a definite gain in the direction inwhich his mind is for the time engaged.The slip in each book making provision for pur­chase is a great convenience to those distant frombook-centers, who, not content with reading, desireto own the book which proves helpful. During eightmonths, August 1,1894, to April I, 1895, more cop­ies of Arnold Toynbee's Industrial Revolution werepurchased from the traveling libraries than of anyother book. Volumes thus purchased are replaced asneeded, and new accessions are being continuallyadded to this department of the general library. Asthere is no provision for the purchase of travelinglibraries, from the general funds of the' University,an 'appropriation is made from the fees received fromcenters for the lecture courses given. The libraries are usually sent by express in advanceof the lecturers and may be retained at the extensioncenters for a reasonable time after the close of thelecture courses which they illustrate and supplement.The extent and amount of activity and territoryreached by our traveling library system may be seenin the long lists published each week in prominentChicago newspapers, which note University Exten­sion lecturers, subjects and centers for the followingweek.

The societies chiefly affected are thesecret Greek-letter, '.' fraternities." Since its o.pen­ing the University has been rather noncommittalabout its attitude toward fraternities and there hasbeen reasonable doubt as to what is the real positionof these societies here. By the action taken Decem­ber 7 last, and ratified by the board of trustees, it isprovided :I. Each organization will file with The University Council,(r) its name, (2) a list of members, (3) such statement of pur­poses and methods as may be required.5. Such organizations as may occupy distinct buildings orrooms as residences shall be orgauized as University Housesuuder the general rules governing Houses.This action is of great import both here and else­where. By it the usually vexing fraternity questionreaches a pleasant solution. The societies are recog­nized as belonging to the University; as such theybecome University Houses, governed by house rules. points a member as "head of the house," who shallbe responsible for the conduct of his brethren.Altogether the action may be construed as favora­ble-to the fraternities, since they are no. longer held asenemies without the bounds of desirable student or­ganizations, to be tolerated but not encouraged, butare recognized as legitimate student bodies. Theyare not given unnecessary or undesirable license, andyet there is no. friction nor arbitrary ruling by theUniversity.

It is but nat­ural that anything written by Dr. Von Holst on thepublic affairs of this country should be received withrespectful attention. Few other men are so. wellqualified as he to speak. The profound study thathe has made of our history and institutions havebrought him fame upon both sides of the Atlantic.But he is more than a scholar. For ten years he wasa member of the Landtag of Baden, and there cameinto close contact with affairs of state. The experi­ence gained in those ten years could not fail to givehim a clearer insight into the meaning of currentevents.While much of the interest shown in Dr. VonHolst's opinions must be attributed to his personality,we believe that part of it is clue to an increased re­spect on the part of the public for the opinions of auniversity professor as such. For Dr. Von Holst'sis .no.t an isolated instance.

Professor Bryce has noted the deferenceshown to the opinions of the presidents of our chiefuniversities. IHs evident that while the presidentsare losing none of their prestige, the professors aregaining in popular estimation. This is a happyaugury for the future of scholarship in this country,and as such is of peculiar interest to college men.And it cannot fail to have a beneficent effect on ourpolitical life when men who have devoted years to thestudy of problems which still await solution areallowed to exert an influence in public affairs.\ ' The University Examining Department.The official staff of Examiners, according to recentand prospective appointments; is to be as follows:University Examiner, Professor Rollin D.

With theexceptiori of two men' the team will have the samecandidates which made up the victorious nine of lastyear. Besides these there are a score or mor€ of newmen, some of whom are sure to make the veterans oflast year hustle. Among those who have signifiedtheir intention of practicing for the team are: Abells,Jones, H. Clarke, Nichols, G. Clarke, Brown, Adkin­son, Winston, Sawyer, Kennedy, Pike, Bowers, Dunn,Minard, Freeman, Hirschberger, Leighton, Wilbur,Sweet, Cleveland, Mitchel, Mullen, Evans, Breedenand Hagey.Two classes, under the coaching of Professor Staggand Captain Abells, will have daily practice in thegymnasium until spring. More attention will begiven during the winter months to batting than wasthe case last year. The poor light prevents accuratework in picking up grounders and a good share of thetime will be devoted to base-sliding and general instruction in the game. ,The infield will probably be of the same complexionas that of last year, but the outfield will have at leasttwo new men.

Last year ninewas the number of players on a side. Captain Hub­bard is anxious to turn out a championship team andis scouring the University for material. To make thebest team, keen competition is necessary and all whohave ambition in that line should make applicationfor a place immediately.The Athletes on the Faculty.One day last fall, out on the athletic field, I saw aprofessor I knew. It was not the first time. Everyday for weeks he had come, to stand a lonesome figurein the autumn wind, watching the football practice,and I said impertinently enough," Mr. J--, do you ever wish you might forget thedignity of your position and fall around in the mud..with the team? ""Do I?" he said. "Sometimes I think I wouldgive my position here to play on the team one sea­son."He was a type. There are dozens of athletic youngmen in the University faculty who feel the same spirit.Some of them are scarcely older than the players onthe team. They have the same blood in their veins,only, because of that intangible, unforgetable, regret­able necessity of "maintaining the dignity of theirposition" they cannot do the things they would.They cannot play baseball, who for three years werethe stars of their teams; they cannot play football,who in 1886 figured in the horrid dreams of their op:­ponents; they may not for-the life of them run a mileon the track, though full of conscious ability to breakthe 'Varsity record. In Miltonic gloom they can" only stand and wait," or play handball (miserablesubstitute ! ) in the gym. At M-- and W-- theymanage these things better.

To that end he had an interview with theUniversity authorities, in which he set before themthe neglected condition of the library, and also its re­quirements, if it were expected to take rank with theother departmental libraries of the University, and ifthe department of Romance languages were to enterinto serious competition for the favor of the advancedstudentship of America. As a consequence a specialappropriation of $500 was granted for Modern Frenchliterature, while the regular appropriation was devotedto old French literature, to works on Romance philol­ogy and the current periodicals.The additions to the library comprehend many com­plete sets of French authors, and number in all about3,000 volumes, including 1,500 doctors' theses on Ro­mance subjects. From two-thirds to three-fourths ofthese books are already in the library, although anumber of the most valuable ones have not yet ar­rived. With these additions the library makes a very'respectable showing, although by no means completein several departments of the literature of France.Spanish and Italian are not so well provided for, butare to receive attention next, and we hope to be ablesoon to chronicle extensive additions along theselines.There are now thirty-five reviews and periodicals tobe found in the Romance library.THEO.
