" Yet sweet the thought,-her fair cheek glows,And a starry snowflake, passing near,Stops for a kiss and is no more;o little dream, was there a tear?Only a tender thought that made,In the winter's quiet, the winter's cold,Her face as a rose is, pearled with dew,A dream of the summer, long grown old.1\ CHI\RI\CTER SKETCH.BY MAUDE L. RADFORD.Thompson tramped down the passage, whistlingcheerfully, and kicked open the door of the .editorialsanctum. The editor took his pipe out of his mouthin order to utter ,a sigh of relief."

There aretwo whole pages of the Leader yet to be filled.'Richards promised me a story, but the idiot's had atelegram to go home, and he's left without giving methe MS. I've been disappointed in some other stuff,too. Moreover, the Leader must be up in G thisweek. My reputation depends on it, my future hap­piness, my --."" In untrimmed vernacular, you mean -- "" Rich Uncle. Promised to take me abroad nextyear-flunked on exam'. Uncle heard it. Uncle, tofond Mamma: 'What's the fellow doing with himself,anyhow? No prizes, no medals. What's he done todeserve a trip abroad?' Fond' Mamma, who is anx­ious to have me cross the water: 'Brother, he workshard in all the charitable organizations of the college.He is also editor-in-chief of the Leader. Uncle:'Let me see the Leader.' I haven't noticed it since hetook it in hand. If he's really doing good work onthe paper, it will perhaps count as much as a good record in his classes.' Fond Mamma, cautiously,. oblivious of all the Leaders already littering up ourhouse: _' He shall send you a copy of the nextissue.' There's the case in a nutshell. You prob­ably gather what the style of the' next issue' mustbe. ""Scholarly, serious, restrained. A little mirthmay be inserted, but cautiously. Good deal of Y. M.C. A. notes and exchanges. A puff to the new min­ister who's come to town --."" Good! I hadn't thought of the puff. I see yourealize my predicament, so help me out, like a goodfellow," pleaded the editor." Well, copy doesn't have to go in till .to-night;"said Thompson. "You've got the whole day beforeyou.""Oh, but I'm going to the city this minute," saidthe editor, serenely, putting on his coat. " Can'tpossibly bi-eak my engagement there. Come withme to the train while 'we talk the thing over."" It begins to dawn on me, " said Thompson sulkily,as they walked towards the street cars; ,( that youwant me to write you something."" That's it," responded the editor gratefully." But I can't do things to order this way. I call itprecious shabby of you to sneak off in this style, andshove your responsibilities on to my shoulders. Yousurely have something on hand that'll do."" Not for this issue. Recollect how much dependson its being good.

No, you'll have to chuck in some of yourown work. Haven't you got something ready thatcan go?"" N o-yes-no," said Thompson, as they got uponthe car."Which? "" Well, I've a sort of character sketch, but it's notintended for publication. It's rather on the satiricalorder. You see, I was down at Harris' the othernight. Everyone was there. Well, I was off in acorner for a while --.""Who was she?"" Of all the queer people! Sainted shade of BenJonson, such utter frankness and naivete, I never be­fore encountered! It was rich. Well, when I wenthome, I wrote her up. Of course the thing's ex­aggerated. It's really not so tremendously likeher--."" Then it goes," said the editor, decisively. " Thisis no time for scruples, Thompson. She'll neverknow. Alter the thing a bit. Add a trifle to herheight, or knock off a couple of inches. Change thecolor of her hair. Marry her, if necessary. Stick ina little moralizing at the end for my Uncle, and I'llbe your slave forever.""It's a good article," said Thompson, waveringly.Thompson liked to see himself in print. .Tt wasthe joy of his life to meet people at receptions, andhear them say, "Oh, are you the Mr. Thompson whowrites those charming little verses for the Leader?.we enjoy them so much," etc. Therefore he hesi­tated."You see, I don't want the girl to recognize her­self," he demurred. ,. If I were sure she'd neverknow-- ""Tell me her name, and I'll tell you her powers ofpenetration," said the editor, preparing to falsify, ifnecessary.Thompson whispered in his companion's ear.,"That girl! " cried the editor, "she doesn't eventake the Leader. She hasn't been in town longenough to get interested in the college. Myself, Ithink she's a pretty nice girl. Sweet-looking, too.What you could score her on is more than I know.That's a pretty good argument for none of the fellowsgetting onto who it is, though. Now if it had beenher friend, Miss Savage --"S-sh," said Thompson, nervously, as they got offthe car.The editor steamed away happily on the train, andThompson started for the office of the Leader,thinking gloomily of the work before him.He was walking along slowly, absorbed in his re­flections, and surrounded by a little, halo of cigarsmoke, when some one addressed him in a tremblingtone. " Mr. --, Mr. Thompson, I should like to talk toyou a few moments."At the same moment a slender fair-haired girl felldeterminedly into step with him.Thompson started, and sacrificed his cigar." I shall be delighted, Miss Atherton."Miss Atherton held her large black muff to hermouth, and looked up over it, and from under herbent eyebrows; with some nervousness."1-1 am sure you don't know what I will thinkof you. I m�:an, I'm sure I don't know what youwill think of me. But I came down on the street carwith you and Mr. Little."Thompson felt the perspiration gather upon hisforehead."And I sat directly behind you, so I couldn't helphearing something of what you said."Thompson almost clutched in consternation at hisfair curls, and his face became a counterfeit presenti­ment of the national colors."About the character sketch, you know," shecontinued softly." Miss Atherton," began Thompson, desperately,"1-1 assure you, I meant no harm. I have thehighest respect - I - I am sure nobody would recog­nize it. I never intended to publish it till Lit­tle--"" Yes, I know; but - I suppose I have no right tointerfere - but do you think ,it was exactly kind towrite such a sketch? Do you think you were reallyever given any cause? "" No, no, of course not," said Thompson, miser­ably, " I can see now how ungentlemanly - how pos­itively brutal it was. I am unspeakably sorry. Isuppose you consider it thoroughly unpardonable inme."" I should think you'd consider it unpardonable inme to interfere in your arrangements," she said,smiling. Then he noticed what bewitching dimplesshe had."U11der the circumstances I think you were per­fectly justified."- "I was afraid you might think otherwise," shesaid ip a relieved tone. "I am much obliged to you.To prove it, in place of the character sketch, I'llgive you an article for the Leader. You needn't beafraid of taking it, for it's not the first thing I'vewritten by any means, I'll send it over by mybrother this afternoon."�, Well, of all the --, ! ',' gasped Thompson to him­self. "Is she .idiotic, or does she suspect that I mayuse the sketch after all, and is she shrewdly givingme the article to save herself in such case, or is shesimply generous?" He walked on silently by herside."There's something' else," said Miss Atherton IUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.with another flash of her dimples. "I've strainedmy usual frankness so far, that I may as well go alittle farther. From what I have said, you see I'vegathered that this character-sketch was not exactlycomplimentary. Well, if you could write that wayabout her, perhaps some of you men discuss her --", Her!" interrupted Thompson, feebly." Yes, Miss Savage. I'm talking about the char­acter-sketch again. I'm afraid you and your friends'have an unfavorable opinion of her; but when oneknows her, and becomes used to her way, she's avery nice girl. She's so sweet in her own home;that's why I like her. I'm sure if you people at thecollege were only better acquainted with her youwould think as much of her as I do. Of course she'sa little --""Yes, yes. We've noticed it, said Thompson." But believe me) you would esteem her very muchif you knew her well and) hope you will try to. Andnow, good-bye, and your .pardon once more." Shegave him a bright little nod from over her black muff,and turned up her own street. 741Thompson walked on, uttering prayers of thankful­ness at every step. He went home for the expresspurpose of burning up that sketch of Miss Atherton.He read it over first, with considerable disgust." However could I have supposed it was like her,"he said. "And how could I ever have been such abrute as to make fun of that delightful frank way ofhers? "This was a remark that would have delighted theeditor, who had a taste for psychology.That night when all the copy for the Leaderhad been sent in, including a laudatory notice of MissAtherton's article, Thompson sighed cheerfully, androse to his feet."There! " he said, peacefully, "the duty of friend­ship has been performed, and I think Little's reputa­tion is saved. His uncle cannot but be satisfied withthis week's Leader. And now I think it is theproper caper for me to go and tell Miss Atherton howmuch I enjoyed reading her story."Whereupon he departed, forgetting to lock the doorof the office after him.0/\ Y OF PI�/\ YER FOR COLLEGES.The day was observed· by suspension of regularclass-room exercises and by holding two religiousservices, a Settlement meeting and a Settlement recep­tion in Walker Museum.The morning meeting, held in Kent Theater, wasaddressed by Rev. W. M. Lawrence, D.D., of theSecond Baptist church. Dr. Lawrence spoke to alarge audience most vigorously and impressively;those who did not hear him should remember the oc­casion as a rare opportunity lost. One of his points wasthat students should remember, that loyalty to truthmeans sacrifice. Steadiness, simplicity, sincerity andspirituality, he said, were four tests of the true life." Sincerity," said he, "is not outspokenness, butwhat comes from the bed-rock of a man's nature.""The 'great duty of this life, in its last words, is :Strengthen our brethren." Above all we must giveas well as receive.At 2 o'clock Kent Theater was full and for twentyminutes thereafter people continued to push in. The150 children of the Settlement chorus sat, part onbenches and part on the floor. Mr. H. P. Judson,acting president, was in charge and at the close madesome interesting remarks on behalf of Dr. Harper.The Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones presented with great em­phasis the idea that University students may let them­selves drift into a state of complete selfishness, suchthat mind .dominates, overshadows heart, and fellow­ship and sympathy with men are lost. He said thatstudents will have only a poor work to look back on at the end of life if science, literature, art and thehigher realms of thought are developed wholly for theindividual, and no help be given those who are with­out great privileges.Miss Jane Addams, who Dr. Judson said represents" the Settlement idea," spoke effectively, and MissMcDowell told a few interesting facts about the Uni­versity Settlement, Under the very skillful directionof Miss Hofer the children's chorus went through aseries of exercises and sang several songs in a waythat would do credit to older performers. The chil­dren were an effective object-lesson of what the workis like.After the meeting in Kent Theater the companywent en masse to Walker Museum for a social hour.The Settlement League were the entertainers. Mrs.H. P. Judson, president of the League, Miss Me­Dowell, Miss Jane Addams, Rev, Jenkin Lloyd Jones,and Professor J. L. Laughlin received. The GleeClub sang several selection's with good effect. Afterthe reception, the cakes which remained were sold atauction for the benefit of the Settlement. At the re­freshment tables the following ladies assisted:Mrs. Paul Shorey; Misses Moore, G. Freeman, Jones, Glo­ver, Ide, Harris, Kane, Breckenridge, Wilmarth, M. Freeman,Anderson.In the evening Rev. Johnston Myers, of the Imman­uel Baptist church, delivered an address in the chapelbefore the Christian Associations. A double quartettefrom the Glee Club furnished music.742 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Theodore M.

Two hundred adultneighbors from the Settlement Club joined in the cel­ebration. The chorus sang, the clubs reported en­thusiastically, and after a program of over an hourthe Settlement Song was sung by all, and the com­pany dispersed, visiting the Settlement fiats and par­taking of coffee and cake.

The attempt to relegate it to pre­paratory schools has so far riot been successful. AtSaturday's meeting of the faculty, the major portionof the time was consumed in discussion of the ques­tion. The final decision has been left to the academicboard. At its next meeting the board of trusteeswill p�obably dispose of the whole matter.Farewell Reception to Prof. Edmund J. James.A notable farewell dinner was given last Fridaynight at the Art Club of Philadelphia to Prof. Ed­mund J. James, of the University of Pennsylvania, bynearly 175 representative citizens of Philadelphia.Professor James is about to take his departure to as­sume his new duties in the University of Chicago. Itwould 110t be possible to assemble in that city a bodyof men who would better represent the intelligence ofthe community than that which did honor to Dr.J ames. Distinguished educators and men of lettersand affairs were present from all over the country. It is rare that any private citizen in Pennsylvania hascalled forth such a great testimonial as that given tothis distinguished teacher.Letters of regret were read from President DanielC. Gilman, of Johns Hopkins ; President Charles W.Eliot of Harvard; Governor Daniel H. Hastings, H.H. Kohlsaat, of Chicago; Vice-President Stevenson,Chief Justice Fuller, and others.Vagrant Notes.University of Michigan has formed a chess club.Rochester University still has hopes of inducing Dr. Hill toreconsider his resignation from the presidency.Clarke G.

California is not i:iO strong as last year, havinglost Koch and Barnes, and having 110 pole-vaulters or weight­putters, while Princeton will be stronger this year than before.Coroell has only three of last year's ball team who are eli­gible to play this year.

Perhaps the East, represented by the Herald,will tell us how it is done. -The last issue of the University of Michigan Daily that hasreached this office contained the following editorial: ,. Yester­day's Chicago Tribune gives an account of the discovery in thatcity of a regular established' College of Thievery,' graduatesof which are admitted without further examination to anyleading county jailor state penitentiary. The article fails .tostate whether any attempt has been made by Dr. Harper tosecure its affiliation with the University of Chicago."

Illinois and the University of Chi-. cago is the only one of our intercollegiate debatingcontests to be held in Chicago this year. Hence, theopportunity of deepening the interest already arousedby the preliminary contests should be improved.This can be made a powerful stimulus to local liter­ary work. Great care should be taken by the Ora­torical Association, which has charge of the debate,to arrange carefully all details, to secure a large hallin.the city (preferably Central Music Hall), to securethe co-operation of the Illinois alumni in the city; inshort, to make it one of the events of the collegeyear.

While this issue of the WEEKLYis going to press, plans are beingperfected by which the OratoricalAssociation will become the medium through whichall literary intercollegiate contests will be conducted.Recognizing the importance of such a movement theUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY. 745faculty have appointed Deans Terry and McClintock CHICAGO, February 4, 1896.to confer with the committee from the association torevise the constitution. This committee has invitedthe presidents- of the literary societies of the Univer­sity to confer with them in the reconstruction of theconstitution in order that the literary work as a whole MR.W.W. ATWOOD, Dear Sir:-Your request to be informedas to the relations existing between the Omega Club and thePsi Upsilon fraternity seems, on reflection, to be justified bythose feelings of inter-fraternity courtesy, that esprit de corpswhich would lead us to welcome into the ranks of the Greekletter societies those that have a legitimate place iu thosemay have a just recognition in the association. ranks, and to ostracise those who usurp the name and insigniaThis action by the Oratorical Association is timely, ,ofa fraternity either our own or another. The publicity giventhe winter quarter is the time for such work and itought to be pushed vigoriously. The organizing oftwo n�w societies is a step in the right direction.The graduates are awaking and have laid plans for. orgal1izati�)11 ; and the undergraduates, not to be be­hind, have formed a debating society out of the origi­nal members of the oratorical society. Such rivalryis healthy, and the spirit of Webster and Clay willnot suffer at its hands.The department of Elocution is giving valuable aidto ,this movement, the extempore speaking class isdeveloping good material, and it might be well forevery society man to take such a practical course.OMEGA CLUB Since the initiation, Friday, of membersAND of the Omega Club into the OmegaPSI UPSILON. Chapter of Psi Upsilon fraternity therehas been no end of talk about the validity of the act.The Omega Chapter was organized in the oldUniversity of Chicago. When the institution closedits doors the charter of Omega was asked for by theconvention of Psi Upsilon, but was n,ot delivered, be­cause it could not be found. The society known hereas the Omega Club has petitioned twice for a charterfrom Psi Upsilon, without success. Friday the mem­bers of the old Omega Chapter of Psi Upsilon initiatedthe Omega Club into its ranks.The question under dis�ussion is whether theOmega Chapter of the old. University still exists­a question which will depend for solution upon theconstitution of Psi Upsilon and its interpretation atthe next convention, to be held in May. On this de­cision will also rest the question whether the OmegaClub is legally admitted to the fraternity.The Omega Chapter is positive that it has not dis­banded, and that it is fully empowered to receiveinitiates. Other members of Psi Upsilon in the Uni­versity who are not members of Omega Chaptertake a different view. The following letter is per­mitted to be published and presents the opinion ofone prominent "frater": by the Omega Club to a recent escapade of theirs indeed re­quires a clear statement from the members of the Psi Upsilonfraternity.The Omega Club have twice petitioned for admission to theP5i Upsilon fraternity, and have been twice refused. To saythis, is not violating a secret, as the club themselves have madethe matter public. Now, on the advice of some members ofthe late Omega Chapter of Psi Upsilon in the old Chicago Uni­versity, they have abandoned the position they have held forthree years and have been initiated into that dead chapter.The condnct of the men who performed the initiation cere­mony is, of course, not a subject for public discussion by mem­bers of the fraternity. But it is proper and desirable to saythat to the majority of the members of the fraternity suchinitiation has no value whatever, and that the Omega Clubremains, as it was, a petitioner for admission and not actuallya chapter of the Psi Upsilon fraternity. There is, unfortu­:nately, no authority within the fraternity that can pass uponthe right of alumni of one institution to initiate undergrad­uates of another institution except the annual conventionwhich meets in May.Prima facie, most fraternity men will agree in consideringthe initiation Illegal, and it is to be hoped that the fraternitiesalready honorably established here will not recognize theseinterlopers until the convention meets. Possibly the conven­tion may consider the less of two evils to be the admission .ofthese men to the family circle of the fraternity. But as to theprobable action of the convention I cau make no prediction,nor would it be proper for me to do so here.In conclusion, while I believe that the opinions I expressare those of the majority, the very fact of the initiation showsthat there are those who take another view. Under the cir­cumstances the least we can ask is that other fraternities pre­serve a dignified neutrality, neither recognizing these men asPsi U's till they have proved their right to the name, nor con­demning them until they have had an opportunity of justify-. ing themselves.Will you kindly make the contents of this letter known toyour fraternity friends?

Those whoturned out, however, saw a spirited contest, and witnessed the.. best game played in the gymnasium. Fouls were less in num­ber .than at any preceding exhibition, and both teams wentinto the game with a dash and a vim that kept the interest atfever heat during the whole performance.The officials of the contest were somewhat tardy in appear­ing, and tbe game opened up balf an hour late.The visitors began operations by Donah�e reaching up someten feet in the air after the ball. He secured tbe trophy, butcame in a head-end collision with Van Osdel, and dropped thepigskin. The umpire blew his whistle, but decided it wasn'ta foul after all, and the referee took the ball. A high jump,two summersaults, and a circus act of Alshuler in the tan­bark 'corner gave the spectators their first cbance of givingvent to their unalloyed pleasure of the performance. Alshulerwas short on wind, but long on tan-bark, and this unfortunatecircumstance gave the frisky Bailey an option on the basket,which he improved by making a lightning throw from the foulline. The ball dropped in the net. The umpire said" goal," insuch a matter-of-fact way, without any frills, that the feminineportion of the Iowa contingent felt constrained to offset this.rude remark by enthusiastically waving a yellow banner, re-marking c, it was too lovely for anything." The hero, evidentlyunused to such laudation, blushed a deep crimson, and lookedconfused. Some more jumping, and Peabody caught the driftof the current and made two goals, iu succession. Burns sawomens of success in the way things were going, and started toroll the ball north. Hutchinson had the same illusion, andwhile both were wondering where the other one came from,Howell, by a sensational throw from the middle of the field,made the second goal for the Hawkeyes.After this, and until time was called, the 'Varsity changedtheir tactics, and with admirable precision broke up the teamplay of the visitors as to completely neutralize their goodpoints. Hubbard, Mullen and Garrey were everywhere, and"the good gnarding of Bnrns and Van Osdel saved many a goalfor the 'Varsity. ,AIshuler and Peabody played a brilliantgame, and the accurate goal-throwing of Hubbard, under diffi-.culties, was a feature.

The final score was 'Varsity, 34;Iowa, 18.Basket-ball in the Women's Gymnasium.The groups of animated women here and thereabout the University, and the remarks about" fouls"and C C goals from field," indicate to the passer-by thatthe game of basket-ball is not confined to the men'sgymnasi urn. The n'arth end of the building boastsof three teams with plenty of substitutes, and livelypractice every day.' That the spirit of rivalry is in­tense' goes without saying. The captains, elected each by her own team, are Misses Ruth Moore, G1en­rose Bell and Alice Winston, whose names need onlyto be mentioned to assure their friends of a winningseven.As yet the work done at the practice hour is farfrom good, owing to the combination of old and newmaterial, the former out of practice, the latter eagerto win laurels but too much excited to play the game.However, the newcomers display many fine qualitiesand bid fair to eclipse the more experienced. By theend of another' week the novice will have learned toher satisfaction that the basket is stationary, is onlyten feet above the floor, and is not on the lookout fora random throw. Under the careful coaching ofMisses Baird, Williston and Tefft, the passing of theball will .improve, and all details will receive atten­tion. The large number of those who have met therequirements for admission to the teams, proves thatthe positions are easily filled every day, and onlythose most faithful and most skillful will 'be chosenfor the match games to be played during the last fewweeks of the quarter. Miss Anderson considers thepractice on the team an equivalent to the regular classwork of the day.Miss Moore's team practices at 3:30 P. M., Tues­days and Thursdays, and. includes Misses Miller,Reid, Hubbard, Rice, Capps, Thorne, Cleves, Chand­ler, Avery, Smith, Sturges, Crisold, Sherman andMrs. Stagg.Miss Bell's team meets at 12:15 on Wednesdaysand Fridays, and includes Misses Hull, Paddock,Beardsley, Hunter, Weight, Ide, Reed, Butler, Cooke,Wallace, Finney, Werkmeister, Pardee, Zuckerman,Schwarz, Spray, .Clark, Mooney, Harman, Hannan,De Cew, Harper and McClure.Miss Winston's team meets on Tuesdays andThursdays at 5 P.
