UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Single Copies10 Cents. VOL. IV, No. 20.CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, FEBRUARY 20, 1896.DREJ\MS.JAMES WEBER LINN.Dream of a star set deep in the blue,Deep, so deep that I cannot find it ;Dream of a dream that will not come true,Yet oh, for I know there is truth behind it. Dream of a stone in the earth that gleams,Gleams, how it gleams, yet I cannot find it;Dream of a tangle I see in dreams,Aye, and in waking cannot unwind it.Dream of a life, that is linked in mine,Fair and strong are the links that bind it,Dream of a love that is sweet as wine,Oh, I would give all my life to find it ..THIRD J\NNUI\L CONCEI�T.We are the gay, happy studentsFrom Salamanca, behold now the band,Though we're noble, we've no money,But we've ancestors famous and grand.From Cadiz to old Barcelona,From dear Murcia and farther we roam,While the pandero is resounding,And the people cry out, "Ah, they come! "Gay and happy indeed were they and an apprecia­tive company received them as they deserved. �better opening song and one better adapted to I' cap­ture " an audience was never sung; its 'purpose wascompletely fulfilled. Enthusiasm was aroused, en­cores began, and the 'Third Annual Concert of theGlee and Mandolin Clubs was immediately an assuredsuccess. Central Music Hall was crowded, and Fri­day, February I4, I896, will be marked well in Uni­versity history._ From first to last the entertainment was all thatcould be desired; since the event the performers havereceived bounteous congratulation. It is very doubt­ful that a more thoroughly successful student exhibi­tion ever took place in Chicago. A long program,lengthened doubly by continual, repeated encores,was met at no time by waning interest.Freshness and sparkle were characteristic of everyselection. ' Some of the encores would be fortunesfor a comedy troupe. Staid old songs, ancientlymemorized by every school-boy and usually consid­ered indispensable, were replaced by recent, originalproductions. Encores were well distributed; therewere no pauses between numbers, and in every re­spect the whole program was admirably and symmet­rically arranged. Messrs. Lozier and Bond deserve high commenda­tion for the care with which they must have drilledtheir men. Faithful practice was constantly manifest.Mr. Lozier also has proved himself a capable writerof college glees.There were no suggestions of uncertainty in execu­tion or fear of mistakes in the performance of theGlee Club. Words were plainly enunciated; time,movement and expression were exact. The" move­ment" also of the singers was frequently interestingand amusing. Most of the songs were gay and ani­mated in nature and were so rendered.The Mandolin Club showed the results of patient,critical work. The execution was precise, and, in fact,well nigh faultless. The kind of music played wasChiefly of the higher order; several classics wererendered with gratifying success. The artistic possi­'bilities of mandolin and violoncello together wereshown in the" Evening Star," from Wagner's Tann­hauser.From the classical, such as that by Gounod, to thegayest and funniest, the selections of both clubsvaried. Adverse criticism could be made on almostno part of the program. With the Glee Club, in onlyone or two instances, where the harmony was close,was there even a suggestion of false tone. A fewtimes the first tenor part seemed prominent, and tliecaptivating I (Baseball Song" could be bettered by alittle less pantomime. With these minute exceptionsboth clubs performed as nearly perfectly as would,seem possible.University society' was all there. The list of pat­ronesses, the occupants of boxes and the location ofBoth clubs showed remarkable improvement iu interpreta­tion and rendering of selections used last year.n was an excellent thought to give no city concerts beforethe Annual. There were, indeed, many pleasant surprises.Very neat and dainty were the souvenir programs; 1,200 ofthem 'were used but not all of the audience were accommo­dated.Many remarks were made on the amount ana quality of theoriginal music used. Before long a book of U. of C. musicwill be necessary.A prelude by the Glee Club and fifteen nnmbers constitutedthe program. Twenty-two encores were given all but three ofwhich elicited response." Estudiantina;" the opening number, was accorded twoencores, a big buuch of flowers, and a fancy mandolin givenby Signor Tomaso, instructor of the Mandolin Club.The decorations of the hall were pleasantly arranged,Each society and University house present displayed profuselyits colors; the stage was banked with palms, and the Univer­sity "C " and the maroon were everywhere.The very large company from the University and neighbor-. hood tried to get home all on one Illinois Central train andtaxed the resources of the railroad company. Extra cars wereput on but were still crowded. At Fifty-seventh street themembers of the women's hal ls and the various societies hadspecial conveyances in waiting.764 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.fraternities, clubs, faculties and University houseswere as announced in the last number of theWEEKLY. Each section containing societies was ap­propriately and liberally decorated. The whole occa­sion was a pleasure to the eye as well as a delight tothe ear. Welcome, St. Valentine' Day, when bring­ing the Annual Concert!VARIOUS COMMENTS.And yet Chicago has no student spirit !Mr. Fling's solo" The Song of the Old Bell" was heartilyencored.The violoncello and flute are valuable additions to the Man­dolin Club.The program was three hours long and the last encore wasas hearty as any. 'Let the Glee Club be heard next spring at every baseballgame. "Big Davy and his little ball-bat.""Gounod's Serenade" by Mr. Bain and the Mandolin Clubwas one of the best selections of the evening.Harry J. Smith's music written for Eugene Field's" LittleBoy Blue" deserves special mention. It was very effectivelysung by Mr. Davidson.A very happy idea was that of having representatives of tenAmerican universities and colleges, and of the Universityof Goettingen, act as ushers.dUSTIN 1\. SMITH, D. D.Dr. Justin A. Smith was born December 29, 1819, anddied February 4, 1896. For forty-two years he was ed­itor of the Chicago Baptist Standard, the leading paperof the Baptist denomination west of New York. Hewasknown throughout the East and West, not only as aneditor, but as a broadminded, capable man, and athorough Christian. In all affairs of the Baptistchurch he was prominent. The- old University of Chi­cagq and the Theological Seminary which is now the:bi'v'inity. School, included him among their trustees,he having been also on� of the founders of both insti­tutions. He was connected with the first board oftrustees of this University as its recording secretary._' The funeral of Dr. Smith took place Friday, Feb. 7,at the Morgan Park Baptist Church, the service beingin charge of Rev. A. R. E. Wyant, pastor of thechurch and graduate of the Divinity School. Amongthe speakers were President Harper, Dr. E. B. Hul­bert, and Dr. Galusha Anderson. Special action inview of Dr: Smith's death was t�ken by the faculty ofMorgan Park Academy: in which, he was much in­terested .. The Standard published last week articleswritten by Professo; W. C. Wilkinson and H. B.Grose, on the subjects, respectively, "Dr. Smith as aWriter" and ': Dr. Smith as an Editor." Dr. T. W.Goodspeed wrote i�r the same paper a sketch of hislife, character and public services.From the address delivered by President Harper we take the following extract concerning "the breadthand the depth of Dr. Smith's sympathy" :" His interest attached itself to many persons, manyinstitutions, and many ideas. Individuals sought hisear, because they knew that be would listen sympa­thetically. His room wa.s a place which attractedthose who needed encouragement. and advice. HO\y­ever taxed and overburdened he might be, there wasalways a cheerful readiness to forget his own anxietiesand to consider those of his visitor." No. important step was ever taken in the historyof the old University, or the old Seminary, in the his­tory of the old Divinity School, or the new University. that did 110t receive his consideration, his sympatheticcooperation. Many are familiar with hIS active inter­est also in M't. Carroll Seminary, Beaver Dam, Frank­lin, Pillsbury, Kalamazoo, Des Moines, not to mentiont,ht many institutions of the city, the missionary soci­eties of the denomination, and the wide spread workof the churches of many states." It may be said that his position as editor made allthis necessary. True, but there is a worlel-wide dis­tinction between the perfunctory interest shown bythe editor of a religious weekly in order to increase hisSUbscription list, and a heartfelt sympathy with per­sons and institu tions because of the possession of asoul so alive to human needs and sufferings as to makeit impossible not to give heed to them. Rare as isUNNERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.such sympathy, his was of a kind still more rare. Hediffered from the most of his brethren engaged in theeditorial management of the religious press, in havingin his mind and heart, an intelligent comprehensionof and sympathy with, the new ideas of modernthought.* * * *" I have purposely refrained from alluding to myown persona"} obligations to him. They are too manyto be recounted. It was at his suggestion and tinderhis direction that my first copy was prepared for theprinter, the comments upon the Sunday-school lessonsfor the Standard sixteen years ago. He, with Dr.Northrup, were the men who by their help, made pos­sible the first summer school work of a substantialcharacter organized in this country." One day, about a week ago, late in the afternoon,there came a messag e that he would hardly passthrough the night. He had talked with wife and,son ;' the message said that he wished to see me beforehe was called away. I found him propped high up inbed; he greeted me warmly. For the first time heexpressed to me the conviction that his work was fin­ished. He desired to talk about the University' andmy relation to it. I su,gge:-;ted that at such a time heshould not allow this' subject to occupy his mind."No," said he, "it is the most natural subject for meto talk about at such a time." And then he utteredwords which I may not repeat, words indicating ap­preciation of the University's general policy and wordsof personal encouragement, with reference to thefuture, which r shall carry with me to the day of mydeath. At no time within five years, had words beenspoken which meant so much, for they were like theutterance of a dying patriarch, who in the clear visiongiven him from above, saw and interpreted rightly thepast, saw and predicted truly the future. In thisdying moment, he was forgetful of self; his mind waswrestling with the problems which had occupied itthese many years."I have known intimately many strong men; but Ihave known no one who so far as I can understand it,illustrated so truly, so correctly the Christ-spirit, in its gentleness, its self-forgetfulness, its patience, itsbroad sympathy, its quiet energy and its practicalwisdom."A PERSON AL TRIBUTE.A prominent member of the University who wasacquainted with Dr. Smith has this to say of him:"In the decease of Dr. Smith, an unusually finecharacter, an unusually efficient life has passed away.Few students in the University knew him, and soquietly, so unostentatiously did he live and work that'many people who are enjoying the fruits of 'his laborsreally know nothing about him; yet thi� is a fittingtime to say: 'Know ye not that there is a princeand a great 'man fallen this day in Isreal? '." The space at our command does not permit even anattempt at an account of the man and his work; butwe wish to add our tribute to his worth and his serv-'ices to mankind. His services as editor, as author,as counselor in religious and educational matters,whether in official position or not, were of inestima­ble value. He was one of the lllake�s of the Chris­tian civilization of this Northwest. Yet on thosewho knew him the deepest impression was made by,the surpassing worth of the man himself. His gen­tleness of spirit, his kindness and sympathy, his calm!strength, his evenly working energy, his patience, hisfairness, his modesty, his complete self-forgetfulnessand simple-hearted devotion to Jesus Christ, shown Iin practical application day by day; these thingsmake his influence a sweet fragrance' and his memorya benediction to all who came within the circle of bisacquaintance. In the most simple, natural way im­aginable he was a saintly man. His was such, asweet, gentle, manly nature as to make one feel thatto love and to- do, the noble and pure and true andright, is both infinitely desirable and perfectly practi­cable. He has gone to his rest old and full of days,but ripe with much more of life than can be reckonedin his seventy-six years,-a wise and able religiousjournalist, a thorough scholar, a literary man of rareculture, and a sincere pure-hearted Christian gentle­man."-v I\RSITY VIGNETTES.A MAN'S WOMAN.She is essentially a "man's woman." Most menfear her, some men love her, and an men admireher.She is clever, sympathetic, and charming. Butmen choose rather to commend her tact in preferenceto her other characteristics, for indeed it is quite ex­ceptional, and seldom, if ever, fails her._- Men, of all creatures, are her dearest delight and, study. She sounds them and when they ring false,she tells them so, and drops them. She, I?lays withthem-that is, some say she does-s-but then they, notshe, furnish the amusement. She sympathizes withthem and interests herself in all of their little ambi­tions; and now and 'then she consents to become aman's confidante, just to see how far his egotism willcarry him, pulling him up later on with a jerk, andI;ornplet�ly knocking the conceit O\1t of him, before765766 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.he is fully aware what has happened. All of whichis very amusing-for- her.It is said she studies men as she might study somany curios; some she labels "snobs," and some" harmless" and "children," and some-a very few_" men." And the "men" are her favorities.Once in a great while she may choose a friend fromamong them, and so make him a king among his fol­lows. Her friendship is a truly wonderful power, andher" king," like Flavias', "can do no wrong," whenonce she is his friend. But woe unto the peace ofthat man who is called to be her friend.As a mother to her favorite child so is she to herfriend in her indulgences. She advises him, she hu­mors him, she pets him, and gives him to. see in athousand and one little ways how very much shecares. All. of which is very "platonic" and verywrong and in the end works no end of mischief, formen must sleep and men must study, and friendshipis no excuse for failures. But still after all, she isessentially a "man's woman," and all men admireher, and some-well, some leave college soon afterthey have met ber.She is certainly a wonderful young woman, and Iwould gladly continue to describe her more fully,were it not for the fact that my friend, young Roland,who in the past has been the source of all my infor­mation concerning her charming characteristics, andwho, in the last month or more, has been her mostfaithful friend, was very suddenly "called home"last week and so you see I am at a loss to know whatto say or how to go on.A BASEBALL CRANK.It was after the close of one of the first intercol­legiate games of the spring of '95 that I first noticedhim. He was standing on a chair in the grand standyelling like mad, and repeating in loud tones over andover to himself, "I knew he'd do it. I was sure he'd do it. I tell you Nick is always good for a hit whenit is needed. Yes, sir, I knew we could beat them;we're hitters. I tell you I" And still talking to him­self he got down from his chair and came down uponthe field.I had grabbed up my bat ana was just starting forthe gym. when some one slapped me lightly upon theback and said, "that was a beautiful catch you madeof that line hit. Congratulations, old man I" Iturnedto thank the speaker and recognized the prophet ofthe g�and stand."Do you know," he continued in confidential tones,"lkey Clarke is a great pitcher. That change ofspeed of his is great, and his' drop' is something noone can touch. I al ways like to see Ikey in the box,he is a fighter from the word play, and you can't bluffhim." I agreed with him."And Jones," continued my new-found friend," it's great to see Jones slide to bases, isn't it? Hejust takes three strides and drops, and there he is. Itell you, old man, Chicago's got a fine team this year.Every time I see a game I know we will win the nextone. By the way, how's your lame hand-all rightnow?""Yes," said I, and was about to excuse myself andhurry away when he said-" I guess I'll have to leaveyou here. I live at the' Home,' you know. I amvery glad to have met you and if you don't mind myasking you," and he blushed a bit, "I wish you'd"speak to me when you see me on the street. Theboys at the Home call me the' blind baseball crank.'I don't mind it though,-you see I used to play ballmyself a little hit before I lost my eyesight and­well, I guess you're in a hurry, good-night to you,I'll see you again I" And shaking my hand heturned, and feeling his way wit h his cane along theside of the walk; hurried off in the direction of theHome for the Incurables.K.

The Professor Sings of His Pair Students.With heads a-droop, and eyes bent down,Eyes black, eyes gray, eyes blue as sky,With foreheads ruffled in a frown,And sweet lips parted in a sigh,They are so bored that they could cry,And mine the fault, that's plainly shown;Yet, heedless, as the moments fly,I drone away in monotone.Heedless? Ah, no!

The Honorable Theodore Roosevelt isannounced to deliver �n address before the Universityat 10:30 Saturday morning, Washington's Birthday.This is an opportunity which will be appreciated.Since October I last, there have not been as manyaddresses here by men of eminence as there were forthe same period last year, and the appearance of Mr.Roosevelt will therefore be especially notable. Asusual on such occasions the University will be madeto feel its lack of facilities for accommodating a largebody of people.A GREAT As we predicted last week that it wouldSUCCESS. be, the Third Annual Concert was anunqualified and gratifying success. All things inconnection with it seemed to move harmoniously. Alarge, sympathetic audience filled. Central MusicHall and was as lavish in its demonstrations of ap­proval as the occasion demanded. Both clubs wereas near perfect in their singing, playing and actingas such clubs ever get to be. Comment by peopleand press has been wholly commendatory. It is evi­dent that a decisive point in the progression of theUniversity musical organizations has been reached, namely � the point where they yield the palm of excel­lence to no other similar company. This expression,though possibly bearing the appearance of exaggera­tion, is nevertheless fully proved to be true by theevent under consideration. " First-class," "up-to­date," "faultless," "the best I ever heard," arequite frequent comments heard since Friday. It isto be hoped that the Club members are enjoying thehonor which they now receive from the Universitythey proudly represent, and begin to feel somewhatcompensated for the hours of practice which alonehave made possible their commendable success.YALE STUDENT Yale's strong student spirit is due,SPIRIT. according to a Yale professor, to thewillingness of every student to make his personal in­terest of less value than the interest of the community;" the spirit," says he, "that makes a man sacrificehimself and his individual comfort to the good of thewhole community, so that where the two interestsclash, the community spirit carries the day. Thisspirit pervades the faculty as well as the students."" It is not only the men who appear onthe university teams and whose names are in the pa­pers-and we might say on every tong ue+ who winvictory for Yale, but those men, for instance, in foot­ball, who go out on the field and permit themselves tobe knocked around the ground in order to give theteam the practice which makes it win. It is not thestruggle for victory which is the only hard struggle,because victory is a certain reward for the struggle,but it is the struggle ending in failure which is thehard struggle, agonizing for men who risk their ownfailure that victory may be won for their college."At Lake Geneva.Professor George E. Hale, of the Department ofAstronomy, says respecting the progress of work onthe Observatory," It is impossible to predict with any'degree of certainty the time of completion of theYerkes Observatory. At present no work is beingdone, but I hope to see the erection of the dome com­menced in the early spring, and the building readyfor occupancy in July."Convocation Orator.The Spring Convocation will be held Thursday,April 2, at 3 P. M.; in the Auditorium. Prince SergeWalkonski, of Russia, who is now delivering theLowell lectures in Boston, will be the orator.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.A Glance in the Mirror.A newspaper has such ample facilities for blowingits own horn, that it is conceded this privilege by thelong-suffering public. For that reason it is thestrictly adhered to policy of its contemporaries to letit have the exclusive of that kind of business. It isconsidered a high crime for a reporter on a dailypaper to make any reference' whatever, of a compli­mentary nature, to a competitor. He is even cau­tioned not to " roast" a rival, lest it should give.thatrival a little coveted free advertising. The WEEKLY,however, which is not looked upon in the ligh t ofa competitor, has been both complimented and"roasted" by its contemporaries of the daily press.The compliments have been notably in the majority,however, which shows that the great daily papers arequick to ·notice and commend evidences of enterpriseeven if it comes from the columns of a college jour­nal. The following is from the Cllicago Chronicle oflast Sunday:SPECIAL GLEE CONCERT EDITION.The UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY made the Glee Clubconcert the subject of a special edition. The cover was a veryartistic affair, designed by Herbert E. Hewitt, the leader oflast year's Glee Club. Within the covers were the pictures andhistories of the members, the songs sung and all the details ofthe annual musicals given. These special editions are some­what of an innovation in college journalism, and the WEEKLYhas received much favorable comment 011 its enterprise.The U. of M. Daily, which has had occasion severaltimes to take issue with the WEEKLY on its positionon athletics and on the best ways and means of run­ning a great University, heartily coincides with theWEEKLY'S policy of conducting a college paper. Itsays:The UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY combines the idealand the practical in a way that makes it a model student pub­lication. Its literary sketches are cleverly written and itsnews service is well arranged and appears to be complete.These quotations are given to show that those whowatch and criticise the WEEKLY are not confined tothe campus, and it should therefore be the ambitionof every student to help keep the paper a represent­ative journal, one by which those may safely judgethe University who have 110 other means of acquaint­ance with it than is afforded them by watching thecolumns of the WEEKLY.Basket-ball Team to go East.-. An eastern trip for the basket-ball team is one ofthe probabilities next spring. Horace Butterworthhas been for some time in communication with easterncolleges and several dates have virtually been fixed.Brown and Yale are both ready to play and a gamewith Harvard is probable. Cornell, Williams andAmherst are also interested in the game. Walter 76�Camp the athletic expert has given his approval ofthe sport and will do all in his power to awaken en­thusiasm among colleges on the Atlantic coast.The proposal for a trip has awakened a ready re­sponse in the University, and it is to be hoped thatarrangements for the tour can be made. The game ofbasket-ball has already taken a strong hold on west­ern colleges and the first intercollegiate match wasplayed in the West. The game originally startedamong the Young Men's Christian Associations inthe East and has always been popular in that organi­zation. It is proposed to play the game out of doorsnext spring in a field approaching the size of a foot­field and having fifteen players on a side. Thegames to be played in the East, however, will becontested for indoors. If arrangements can be madethe team will go the last week in March and willplay about five games.Associations.One of the most interesting addresses yet deliveredbefore the Christian Associations was that of Prof. T.C. Chamberlain last Sunday evening on "Some Mani­festations Through Nature of the Power of God."The points especially emphasized were unity, libertyand benevolence. 'I In all nature, "he said, "wehave manifestations of God. Everything in nature isexceedingly refined. Nothing is gross except in itsrelations. We should not try to harmonize naturewith preconceived ideas, but should harmonize ourideas with the teachings of nature."Y. M. C. A.The joint session of the two Y. M. C.

The first three floors were taste­fully decorated and their rooms thrown open to theguests. Some three hundred invitations had been sentout, chiefly to the members of the Memorial Baptistand the Hyde Park churches. The reception was anentire success.Washington Promenade.Next Friday evening the University colleges givetheir third annual Washington Promenade in the par­lor of the Chicago Beach hotel. The committee hasmade arrangements for the large number of Univer­sity students, professors and friends who are expectedto be present. Already many tickets have been sold,and many people not yet supplied with tickets havesignified their intention of attending. It would mate­rially aid the committee in charge if those who intendto go and have not yet secured tickets would do so assoon as possible, or inform the committee accordingly.It is expected that this will be a representative Uni­versity event, and that the professors, students, andall friends of the University will be present. Lastyear's promenade was thoroughly enjoyable and suc­cessful, and if the growth and progress of this institu­tion is of any significance, the evening of the z r stshould be even more pleasurable.Valentine's Dinner in Foster.Friday evening last, the resident Fellows of Fosterenjoyed a Valentine's dinner in the parlor of the Headof the House. The menu was ingeniously drawn upon the pink registration cards, which were emblazoned.wi th hearts, gilded ribbons, and mortar-boards. Be­side each plate was a pile of valentines addressed tothe Fellows, singly or collectively, by the residentundergraduates; two of the poems are here appended.'Tis Valentine's Day, and we're dreadfully blue,We haven't one Fellow, now what would you do? The Heads of our tables are dreadfully gay,But we're all alone, now what would you say?They were planning a dinner when last they were seen,But they asked 110ne of us; now, pray, what can that mean?They're feasting and laughing and having such fun,While we're munching and sobbing; now what can be done?Next Valentine's Day, we know what we'll do;We'll have some new Fellows, now wouldn't you, too?The joyous noise of rattling platesHear we, the undergraduates,And echoing laughter hearty.It fills us with a mad disgust,We feel1ike groveling in the dust;We will protest, we can, we must,Shut out from this old party.So let us state one truth, ere weBy fierce, consuming jealonsyAre turned quite green and yellow;And, while your tastes you satiate,Right here and now we wish to state,WORTH makes the UNDER GRADUATE,The want of it,-the Fellow!The zealous thoughtfulness of undergraduates andfriends for the pleasure of the Fellows was not limitedto Expression in Valentines. A course, not on themenu, and consisting apparently of bread, milk, andpink paper hearts, was served in bouillon cups, wit�the compliments of "The Under-Graduate Company,Limited;" and a request for further orders. Moreover,the cake, when cut with all due ceremony, was foundto contain not only the ring, thimble and moneywhich had been provided for the occasion, but a smalldiploma conferring the degree of Fool on the happyrecipient, and apparently countersigned by PresidentHarper, Dean Judson, Janitor Parker, and Miss Yeo­mans.The Fellows resident in Foster desire to take thisopportunity of thanking their friends for these kindattentions, which were received with hearty apprecia­tion.Graduate Hall Reception.The second annual reception at Graduate Hall1ast\\T ednesday evening, in spite of the conspiracy of theelements against it, was a success. The entire housewas decked throughout in festive attire. Palmsfrom the tropics and the delicate perfume of flowersmade those who had not been kept away by thebl uster of the storm forget the raging without andimagine themselves engaged in the coronation of thequeen of the May. A feeling of friendliness pervaded. all, and the residents of the house outdid the warm­hearted gentleman who left his latch-string on theoutside by throwing their doors wide open.The rooms contained everything from relics of theMidway Plaisance to morocco bound editions ofShakespeare. A photograph here and there so set asto gaze at his study table showed that somehow)UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.somewhere the delver in the lore of bards and sagesyet had a hum'an side to him, and hoped some day,when he became heir to his ambition, to have asharer of his fortunes. Portraits of old tutors andcollege group pictures indicated his affections for hisearlier associations.In one of the rooms Dr. Harper's head was put onto another man's shoulders, and as, our worthy presi­dent sat there with his trousers stuffed in his JoshuaWhitcomb brogan boot- tops he seemed as m uch at'ease as when, two evenings afterward, he in full dresswas greeting his friends at the Glee Club concert. Inanother room there sat in the corner a double-barreledshotgun. As several young ladies making them­selves at home, picked up the gun and pointed it atsome imagined enemy they showed that they werebetter students than Dianas, because they winked thewrong eye.The guests were rather late in arriving, but whenthey did come they soon became oblivious to all elsebut being .t here : and nowhere has there ever beenseen a more select gathering. A sordid fellow is hewho would attempt to describe the ladies costumes,for that charm of manner which culture gives madeall else but their own queenly personalities soon fadeaway. The jewel eyes of the gentler ones there spark­ling with loveliness amidst their sunny smiles wouldhave made a Sinbad turn enraptured from his valleyof diamonds, and merry voices tuned with innocentlaughter sounded sweeter thai! a siren's song. Thegentlemen were as chivalrous as the knights of oldand had Olympus been stripped of her .Deities by athunderbolt of Jove that monarch could here havefound more gods to sit upon their thrones. And whynot, our Universities moulel our nations' destiny andhere are found our countries' choicest fruit.As fragrance makes a blossom far more sweet, so re­ceptions add a fascination to university life, and whenthe erstwhile maiden a full- blown woman and theformer youth a man equipped for life's struggle haveleft their old tutors and old friends behind, and havebecome teachers rather than students, they look backon the social side of their college life with pleasantrecollection.Long live Graduate Hall and may we again enjoyher unfeigned hospitality.Dr. Camillo Von Klenze, head of the house, Prof.Albion W.

The article concludes as fol­lows:Is not the journal before us, then, to mark a new epoch inour knowledge of this subject? It seems strange that, whenalmost every other branch of science has long had its specialjournal or 'organ, we should have waited almost for the dawnof the twentieth century for the first number of the firstjournal devoted to a matter of such great practical momentand for four centuries known by all civilized men to be im­portant.We welcome this journal, then, as a needed one, rightlyconceived and giving promise of .usefulness. It enters, andenters under favorable auspices, a field not hitherto occupiedby any scientific journal. The names of the editors, the lab­oratory and university from which it comes all combine topromise excellent results. It will be strange, indeed, if dis­tinct gains in human knowledge do not result from this enter­prise. To the editor and his associates and to the Universityof Chicago we tender our congratulations and hope for them alarge measure of success.A sensible 'rule is reported to have been made at AmherstCollege, namely, that no student shall be allowed to work outhis college bills whose personal expenses are over $500 a year.772 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Tradition vs. Higher Criticism.President Blanchard, of Wheaton College, deliveredthe address Sunday afternoon in Kent Theater.. beforethe Christian Union on the subject: '.' Method illBiblical Criticism." Miss Bessie J. Stillman, soprano,of Rochester, N. Y., sang two solos. Mr. Blanchardspoke in part as follows:It is a false and vicious method to criticise the Biblethe same as other books.Of the two classifications of criticism, historical andconjectural, only historical is the true method. Wecan't get at facts by guessing. If one man guessesGenesis has four elements and another guesses it hasone, neither may be right.Biblical criticism must be made perfectly intelli­gible to commonest people. There can be no " electfew" in criticism. God would not give a Bible suchthat those who need it most can know it least, andthose who know it most need it least. Any methodnot perfectly intelligible to a car-driver or carpenteris open to suspicion. A lawyer with a four hundredand fifty dollar annual income can't afford to have anexpensive professor on hand continually to criticisethe Bible for him.Criticism must be spiritual. An ignorant spiritualman is a better judge of the Bible than a learned, con­ceited, proud and selfish man.Any man who represents the Bil-le to be full oferrors commits an error against anybody whom hegets to believe what he says. For, what have we leftif the Bible, our only book, be taken away?No method is true which fails to accept as highestauthority the testimony of Christ and his disciples.If Christ says .Moses wrote the Pentateuch, thenMosesdid write it.Vagrant Notes.After this year Princeton College is to be officially known asPrinceton University.Ransome, '97, full-back on the football team of the Un iver­'sity of California, has been elected captain for 1896.Seven men have been suspended from the Junior Class atBrown, for presenting in rhetoric classes (theme word) writtenmatter not wholly their own. Undoubtedly the offense isgrave, but the punishment seems disproportionately severe,and the university students are inclined to take the part of themen suspended.Perhaps the best purely literary college weekly published isthe Sequoia, from Leland Stanford. In typography and lit­erary character alike it is a model. It is a singular fact thatthe four papers, two daily and two weekly, published by thetwo California universities, Berkeley and Stanford, all pre·serve a standard which seems nnapproachable by most western. colleges."Is Brown a Baptist institution ? " is a question that is askedfrequently and, it is feared, many are unable to receive a sat­isfactory reply. Brown cannot be called a denominationalcollege except in so far as the Corporation of the University iscomposed. The constitution of Brown University providesthat the Corporation shall consist of two branches: Trusteesand Fellows. Thirty-six members make up the Board ofTrustees" of which twenty-two shall forever be 'elected of thedenomination called Baptist, five shall forever be elected ofthe denomination called Friend or Quaker, four shall forever be elected of the denomination called Congregationalist, andfive shall forever be elected of the denomination called Epis­copalian, and that the succession in this branch shall be for­ever chosen and filled up from the respective denominationsin this proportion and according to these numbers, which arehereby fixed and shall remain to perpetuity immortally thesame." The Board of Fellows is composed of twelve, ofwhich eight are always to be elected from the Baptist denomi­nation, and the rest from any or all denominations. ThePresident of the University is always a Fellow, and" shall for­ever be of the denomination called Baptist." Thus the exactsituation can be seen, and Brown can hardly be called a de­nominationa1 institution any more than any other college canbe called denominational from the make-up of its governingbodies. While the University is practically under the controlof the Baptist denomination, students are never influenced intheir belief, but are disciplined and cnltivated in the mind.­Brown Daily Herald.Majors and Minors.Strange fate-Washington's Birthday comes on Saturday!The new Quadrangle Club house has a roof and is closed tothe weather ready for the interior work.Franklin Johnson, Jr., is making a bicycle tour alonethrough Italy, where he expects to remain about a: year.President Butler of Colby University organized recently theBeta chapter of Phi Beta Kappa fraternity in that institution.Prof. W.

Despite the absorbing qualitiesof Mr. Heme's acting and the totaleclipsing of himself in the character heportrays, it is impossible to forget alto­gether the actor whose matchless art en­ables him to fill the picture with so muchhumanity; who reveals a heart so tender,so large, and so touching.Auditorium.This week's program of the ChicagoOrchestra is no less brilliant and inter­esting than the last three or four havebeen.

THI;QDORE ROOSEVELT.778 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Mr. Roosevelt spoke for forty-five minutes, withoutnotes, in terse style, varied by humorous illustrationswhich elicited much merriment. After being intro­duced by Professor Judson as one who has distin­guished himself in municipal affairs, and who knowsno fear, he advanced and was greeted, literally, by along storm of applause.The speaker began by saying that we should not talk somuch about George Washington, but should just try to putinto effect the principles which we think he stoed for. Uni­versity people, especially, have such a duty. One lesson fromWashington's life is that a very great man may he made greatby carr) ing ordinary qualities to a very high point.His own experience thus far in the New York police depart­ment was dwelt upon at length.

Considerable unfavorable commenthas been expressed on the action of the students infilling out dance programs for the Washington Prom­enade during the week previous to that event. Inany light it may be regarded, this action was, to saythe least, provincial. It might have been the properthing in institutions where only the students attendsuch functions. But for a University ill a great city,with a large body of interested friends and a growingalumni, such an action is �ertainly unexpected, anduncomplimentary. The recent action is, perhaps, ex­cusabl� in the fact that the traditions of the Un-iversityare of but recent formation and are still subject tochanges. The followi n g COlD m un i ca t i on from theCommittee on Arrangement? for the WashingtonPromenade is a fair discussion of this subject:To the Members and Friends of the University of Chicago:Illas��uch as there has been some advei se comment amongthe students regarding the filling out of advance dance pro­grams, the Committee on Arrangements for the WaslringtonPromenade desires to make the following statement.Believing that the Washington Promenade was orgiuallyplanned to be, and should remain an occasion on which allthe friends and members of the University should share and.enjoy alike, the committee refused to issue advance dancecards. However, some thoughtless persons fo11owing the ex­ample of institutions older, but much differently situatedfrom our own, deemed it expedient and proper to fill outtheir programs days ahead. Naturally o:hers did Jikewise insel f. defense.Situated as we are there will always be a number of thealumni and undergraduates, who may be extremely des ir ousof attending these affairs but are unable to make their arrange­ments until the last minute. If they have not been fortunateenough to engage dances ahead, tbey will undoubtedly re mainaway, and the affair will have lost one of those functions whichwas fundamental in its origin, i. e. the handing down of Uni­versity traditions from al umuus to the undergraduate and C011-sequently the growth of University spirit.The committee knows of a number of instances of this kindhaving occurred already ill the past and keenly regrets itsinability to prevent it. It feels that the filling out of advanceprograms cannot be prevented unless a majority of those loyalto the University and its best interests will pledge the mselvesto do away with this pernicious custom by absolutely refusingto engage dances ahead of time. The success of a mOHmelltof this kind will uudoubtedly depend largely upon the womenof the University, who should eventually derive great benefitsfrom such an action.UNNERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.The committee earnestly requests the student. body of theUniversity to consider this question unselfishly, and in allsincerity, and to take united action, if such is necessary toprE'Vl nt a repetition of what has occurred in the past.[Signed]COMMITTEE ON ARRANGEMENTS POR THE WASH­INGTON PROMb;NADE, 1896.QUESTION OF INITIATINGFRESHMEN INTO GREEKFRATERNITIES. The regulation of the Uni­versity regarding the rela­tions of the freshmen tothe fraternities cannot he otherwies than satisfactoryas long as they conduce to the best interests of theUniversity. But no rules, however just and wise, canmeet the approval of all concerned, which are notsupported by a firm authority and the prompt disci­plining of each instance of disobedience. There is noquestion of any importance as to the expedi�I?cy andwisdom of the present regulations regarding the initi­ation of freshmen into Greek fraternities. Muchdissatisfaction, however, has been engendered amongfraternity men because of the. seeming lack of obedi­ence to these regulations on the part of one or twofraternity chapters. This feeling of dissatisfaction, ifexpressed, would be that if the authorities permit onechapter to violate a rule, the same leniency shouldalso be shown other chapters. The spirit of loyaltyto the University has thus far prevented a general dis­obedience to the rulings of the University council.But under the present increasing unrest, it cannot belong before all fraternities will be forced, in self­defense, to follow the examples of those chapterswhich have pledged and initiated freshmen into theirmembership. Two courses suggest themselves aspossible to prevent the creation of that fraternityrivalry and petty quihbling which has proven so dis­astrous to most western institutions. One is for theUniversity authorities to insist upon an implicit obedi­ence to the present regulations; the other is for thefraternity chapters to adopt, with the approval of thecouncil, a complete inter-fraternity agreement.It is 110t the purpose of the WEEKLY to criticise thepresent rules, nor to attempt to dictate as to the exe­cution of the same. But it desires to voice the senti­ments of a great number of fraternity men, who are atpresent unable to decide upon the policy their cha p­ters should pursue in the pledging of freshmen, andwho would welcome any definite system of regulationswhich would be obeyed strictly in letter and spirit." . .. . .. THE QUESTION How shall the student body of theOF DEBATE. University be represented in inter-collegiate oratorical and debating contests?The Oratorical Association was first in the field; ithas done the very arduous and thankless work ofopening the field; it was, in a sense, specially recog­nized at first by the authorities and deserves specialconsideration, whatever may be done.The association has not been managed fully as wellas it might have been. Debates have not been repre­sentative of the University. Yet it must be affirmedthat the students have not given the association theirfull support; indeed, it has been very poorly sup­ported.This year there has been an astonishing growth andactivity of literary and debating societies, all am­bitious to cultivate the forensic arts and all ready toassume leadership. Not liking the present system orthe management, these would form a new organiza­tion or change the old so that they may have fullerrecognition than they now have. Misunderstandingshave arisen on both hands and harmony has seemedfar off.The question at issue should, by all means, not bediscussed ill the light of recent events. Harmonymust be sought by both sides of the controversy.The present aspect is not pleasant, and history neednot be reviewed. There was no need of the disagree­ment last week Tuesday; each side suspected theother of concocting prodigious "schellies," all wereon the defensive, and heated discussion was precipi­tated. What is the best plan for the future, whichwill promote most the interests of University debat­ing?There seems to be three possible solutions: First, ageneral organization, such as we have tried to have inthe past, but more open and more representative.Such an organization would be wholly democratic andwould look after intercollegiate contests only, leavingthe weekly literary work to the societies. Second, acombined society organization, representing equallythose societies doing regular work, which should con­trol debates with other universities, but should makesuch debates open to everybody. Third, a board incounection with the Department of Elocution, similarto the Board of Physical Culture and Athletics, butconsisting of both members of the faculties and stu-4ents! which should control intercollegiate debates,781·Vagrant Notes.Rev.

Yet some solution must soon be reached.It is impossible to have two rival central organizations,and unfortunate that a suggestion to that effect hasbeen made, especially at a time when important de­bates are near at hand. Time spen t in further discus­sion is doubly wasted. All differences of opinionshould be dropped, each person interested should con­cede a little and should strive to hit on some planwhich will he for the best interests, not of factions,but of the University and of the development of theart to which all concerned profess allegiance. Wouldit not be well for the Oratorical Association to call amass meeting of students for open, friendly discus­sion?The intense interest aroused by this whole matter isgratifying evidence of activity in debating and provesthat we have here a most vigorous student spirit, andan ambition to represent the University in debatewhich may be turned to honorable and glorious ends.A Song of Love.Oh sing me a song of love to-night,A song with passion sweet,That shall1end its warmth to thy glances brightAs thine eyes my fond eyes greet.Oh sing me a song from thy loving heartThat sha11 thrall my soul to thee,That shall make my pulses warm and startAud leap in ecstasy.Oh sing me a song, for my heart is sore,And a pall my spirit shrouds;But thy love shall cheer me forevermoreLike a bow am id the clouds.Oh sing me a song fun of hope and love,Of the love that thou hast for me ;Of the love that thine eyes and thy blushes proveEre thy lips can speak for thee.CARr� CHAPEAU.The Debating Club.The first regular meeting of the University of Chi­cago Debating Club was held last Thursday eveningin Cobb Lecture Hall.

An example of thiscareless marking--for it must be. careless--is the caseof a paper in Latin in which theone mistake of writ­ing tufa mare for tuto mare was corrected by thereader and there was not another mark or anothererror in the paper, yet it was graded 94 per cent. Several instructors have been frequently compelled toreturn the papers of a whole class to be remarked,and the students are gradually losing all respect forexaminations.

Enlarged edition, I892, pp. 478,Price, $2-50. Th.e F. H. Thomas Law Book Co., St. Louis, Mo., Publishers.There is no more valuable book for a student than one whichcan be slipped into the side pocket and at all times handy toread a page or two of a subject pertinent to the studies he ispursuing. The book" Abridgment of Elementary Law" byM. E. Dunlop, counsellor at law, is valuable for this reason aswell as for its compact and concise manner of stating the gen­eral principles, rules aud definition of law, together with thecommou maxims and rules of equity jurisprudence, as statedin the standard commentaries of the leading English andAmerican authors. While this book seems to be packed withlegal lore, it deals succinctly with the essence of law and juris­prudence; in awol d, it is the cream of the law. Typograph­ically, it is admirably adapted as an easy reference book,enabling one to quickly find the subject of which he wishes togain knowledge.Besides covering Blackstone's commentaries, it treats 011 thevarious subjects of pleading, evidence, contracts and equity;also a chapter is devoted to suggestions to students, Theusual subjects contained in the regular law course are em­braced in this book.

Bldg., Ch.ica g o, Publisher.The Dartmouth College Causes have a history. This worktells the story of these causes. It is illimitable in manner andmatter. It reads like a romance. Although of more interestto the legal profession, this work of Mr. Shirley deals withthese causes, of which there were five, in such a masterly stylethat after one begins the r eadiug of the book it becomes in­tensely i n terest ing. Daniel Webster, Jeremiah Mason, andJeremiah Smith conducted the cases ill the interest of the col­lege through all the courts. The author deals quite largelywith the personal cliar acter istics of these men, ami besides,with the members of the courts and others connected with thecollege.A better idea of Fedcralisril and the Federal party can begaine!l from this work, and those who are interested in politicalor legal history will find it as readable and of equal interestwith the best history or fiction. The most co uimeu dable feat­ure is that there is not a dull or uninteresting chapter in thework. Mr. Sn ir ley is a master hand at de1ineation.
