UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO' WEEKLY.Single Copies10 Cents. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, MARCH 5, 1896. VOL. IV, No. 22.1\ SONG OF THE LIBRARY.FERN BELLERIVE.If I were a poet I never would singOf murmuring brooklets or love in a boatOr grandeur of mountains or beauties of spring;My voice should be tuned to a happier note.I'd sing of the volumes in numberless :filesAnd the dear musty smell of the library hall,Once the haunt of old men, un illumined by smiles,The resort, now, of maidens, gay colors and all. Old Faustus, they say, grew a-weary of books,And summoning Satan, renounced as a boreHis wisdom, and showing disgust by his looks,, He vacated, slamming his library door.What wonder? for ne'er in that cheerless retreatEncrusted with dust and ungracious and bare, 'Had echoed the laugh of a fair Marguerite,And so the poor Faustus must seek one elsewhere.But here it is different; both learning and girlsWe have in our library-thanks be to Jove?In this treasure house, heaped full of scholarship's pearls,Sparkle also the jewels of-shall we say ?-love.The library hall, which this boon has been given,Full of feminine whispers and smiles' playful1ight,I'll back against any place else (except Heaven),For here is where Wisdom and Beauty unite.�V I\RSITY VIGNETTES.THE DANCING GIRL." I do so love a two-step, don't you?" she said, asshe came within an inch or two of leading me with anawful impetus into one of the pillars that stood in thecenter of the ball-room. "And isn't the music justtoo lovely for anything?" And just for emphasisshe came down on both of my toes with a force thatmade the pillars fairly dance for a fnoment."What sport it will be when, the spring quartercomes, to walk about on the porches after the dances,and cool off I I do love to' walk so ? " And she pro­ceeded to walk up the skirt of another girl's gownwho was whirling by just then in the dance. "1' mawfully .glad I am tall," she' continued, "becausewhen one is tall one can always tell where they'regoing," and we ran into a couple of diminutive fresh­men who were vainly trying to avoid us as we torearound the room."I know that my hair is all coming down," shegasped, "but no, I wont stop! This is too lovely forwords!" And she clutched my arm with the grip ofa drowning person and suffered me to pull her aroundthe room like a bale of hay. "I wish some of thesepeople would learn to dance properly," she beganagain. "That's the fifth person that's poked me inthe back!" And she jammed her fist quite accident­ally into the eye of an over-zealous dancer who wasbearing down upon us. "Say, why don't you talk? I am afraid you arenot enjoying yourself, are you, now?" And shebanged my head up against the stout patroness whowas standing in one corner of the room busily sippingan ice. I stopped to apologize, but the dancing girlsaid, " Oh, come on; it was my fault ! Never mindabout it !"., Excuse me," said I, very politely, "but pleaselet me get you an ice. I know yo� must be awfullywarm!" And before she could reply I went away onthe run for the dressing-room, to change my collar,put on another tie and rearrange myself generally asbest I could. "One would think you'd been playingfootball, to look at you," said young Roland, whohappened to come in at that moment. ,. What didyou' run against-half or a full-back?" And helaughed heartily. "My dear boy," I replied, "onlybe careful, that you do 110t tackle-" but he was offafter the next dance. K. K.THE GULLIBLE GIRL.She is such an innocent, unsophisticated little thingthat one wonders whether she was brought up in adesert or educated in a nunnery afar from the hauntsof men. That is when one meets her for the firsttime.She says" Yes?" with such a sweet confiding in­tonation of the voice and" Oh, how awful!" withsuch inimitable glances of coyness and unaffected co'788 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.quettishness that one feels very wise and worldlywhen talking to her, and the men beam down uponher with the most superior of smiles. She neverspeaks unless she is spoken to and then she allows theothers to do most of the talking, breaking into theconversation every now and then with a meaningless"I dare say! " or " Oh , how could you? " but that isall.No, she never gives herself away, and her gullibil­ity is seized at by most of the University men as aparticularly tempting bait might be by a school ofravenous fishes. It is so nice, you know, to be ableto pose before one admiring woman' as heroes of life.So very, very pleasant to be worshiped by this genu­ine admiration of hers, so full of trust, confidence andsympathy. And the gullible girl knows all this and keeps her little hook of gullibility well-baited, forin sooth is she not fond of dances, and dinners andconcerts? And does she not like to have a group ofvery useful but exceedingly foolish young men alwaysat her beck and call? And why not?Sometimes, however, an unusual1y foolish youngman swallows bait, hook and all; and then after thepainful "extraction" operation is all through withand he is allowed to see more clearly and is soon onhis way rejoicing, he gives earnest, sincere thanks,that he himself has not been "swallowed" by the"gullible" girl who seemed so innocent and unso­phisticated the first time he met her." If people only knew howIazy they are," he saysto himself and a weak little half hearted smile playsabout his lips. R.' R.DR. ED}\\UND d/\NES d/\}\\ES.Dr. Edmund J. James who came to the University,February first, to assume the duties of Professor ofPublic Administration in the department of PoliticalScience and Director of the Extension Department,has a wide reputation. He comes to us from theUniversity of Pennsylvania where he was professor ofPublic Finance and Administration in the departmentof Finance and Economy (Wharton School), and pro­fessor of Political and Social Science in the GraduateFaculty (Department of Philosophy).He was born May 21, 1855, at Jacksonville, Mor­gan county, Ill. He was prepared for college in theHigh School department of the Illinois State NormalSchool. He entered college at Northwestern Univer­sity in 1873. He matriculated at Harvard November 2,1874. In July, 1875, he went to Europe to study polit­ical economy. He graduated from Halle in August,1877, taking the degrees of M. A. and Ph.D. In 1877,he was appointed principal of the )ijgh School, inEvanston, Ill. In June, 1879, he accepted the princi­palship of the High Schooldepartment of the IllinoisState Normal School. He resigned this position in1882, to continue his studies in Europe. On July 3,1883, hewas elected professor of Public Finance andAdministration in the Wharton School of Financeand Economy, University of Pennsylvania, to beginwork the following September. Since I886 he hashad practical charge of this department. Under his influence its corps of instructors was largely increased,the subjects of instruction multiplied, and its curricu­lum extended from two years to four, changes whichwere followed- by a large increase in the number ofstudents. During this period the Wharton School ofFinance and Economy became not only a successfuldepartment for higher commercial education, but alsoone of the leading centers for the study of economicsand politics in the United States. Shortly after goingto the University of Pennsylvania, Professor Jameswas also appointed professor of Political and SocialScience in the Graduate Faculty (department of Phi­losophy), and from January, 1884, to January, 1888,was secretary of this faculty. On April 8, 1891, hewas elected president of the American Society for theExtension of University Teaching, an associationorganized to promote the introduction and develop­ment of University Extension methods of instructionthroughout the United States.In 1892 Professor James was offered the head pro­fessorship of Political Science in the University _,ofChicago, but declined it. He is a member of numer­ous sociological and similar organizations through­out the country and is the author of many books andpapers on sociological SUbjects. The faculty of theUniversity may well congratulate itself on Dr. ja�es'becoming one of its members, and the students !6fsociology in being able to comeunder his instruction.(,EX/\}\\IN/\ TION }\\/\R�S.EDI'i'OR WEEKI,Y:- The statement in a recentnumber of the WEEKLY that the students of an affili­ated college are losing all respect for examinations,owing to the low marks assigned by the University readers should not, I think, pass without comment.I have nothing to say of the propriety of insertingsuch a criticism in. the students' publication" for I donot care to quarrel with the democratic principle evenUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.in what seem to me its extreme manifestations. Norwill i pause to plead that it is a very delicate task fora new university to endeavor to establish standards ofclassical scholarship in the West that shall neitherdiscourage effort by their severity, nor by their laxityencourage supine acquiescence in low ideals. Theroot of the difficulty lies in the assumption by toomany teachers and students that the marking of ex­amination papers in Greek or Latin is or ought to bean exact science-s-that the marks from one to onehundred constitute an absolute scale somewhere alongwhich every paper can be ranged by an impersonaljudgment admitting of no appeal. This would bepossible only on the hypothesis that the number ofquestiolls--of right or wrong answers-is definitely'fixed, that every answer may be counted right, orwrong, in terms of some simple fraction, and thatall questions are of equal- value. Not one of thoseassumptions holds or ought to hold for papers inGreek and Latin. If translation to or from Latinis set, the number of possible errors is virtually in­finite. and they vary in quality from those to whichno sensible teacher would attach any weight tothose which betray an incompetence or illiteracysufficient in themselves to disqualify a candidate foradmission. The student, for example, who deliber­ately construes aspectare with the dative manifests. ifhe has been properly taught, an incurable inability tothink himself out of English idiom. The studentwho gravely sets down a mass of "clotted nonsense"neither English nor Latin as the equivalent of a pas­sage of Cicero or Virgil is not ripe for the university.But a candidate might scatter false hidden quantitiesand wrong accents of enclitics all over his paper, and,if be was sound in essentials, the only safe 'Commentwould be that he probably had noj the temperamentof a philological specialist. The questions and an­swers then cannot be merely counted as equipollent.They must be weighed as evidences of the student'spractical mastery of Greek and Latin and his fitness toenter upon the work of the University. Such weigh­ing is a matter of judgment, in which there will al­ways be a personal equation, a certain probability of 789error, and some margin for legitimate difference ofopinion. In cases near the passing line or on veryhigh papers competing for a prize the most �inuteand punctilious care should and, I trust, will be exer­cised, and when there is doubt the candidate shouldperhaps receive the benefit of it. But to bestow anequal minuteness of attention on hundreds of interme­diate papers is neither possible nor desirable. Whocan honestly affirm that he knows that this paperought to be marked 72 and that 74, and what con­ceivable difference does it make?If I were asked to return a hundred papers for suchscrutiny I should demand a month's time for the task,and should then expect many appeals from my judg­ment which I could meet only by authority or bywearisome and futile debate.The situation, then, as I conceive it is this: Withregard to passing or not passing, that is with regardto the student's possession of the indispensable min­imum of Latin and Greek required for entrance uponits courses, the University exercises the best judg­ment in its power. In addition to this the University,for the convenience of teachers and students, consentsin certain cases to define as exactly as is practicablethe relative value of the papers submitted to it. Theobject of this proceeding is to indicate sufficiently forpractical purposes the things on which we think moststress should be 'laid in teaching. The presumptionsare that readers trained at the University and selectedfor their unquestioned scholarship will generally dothis in a helpful manner. The presumptions are alsothat, being human, their attention will sometimes failas does that of the most expert proofreaders. But itis a singular misapprehension of the entire object ofthe plan to convert it into a game in which theendeavor is solely to catch the reader out on someinsignificant oversight .. I am sure that on furtherreflection this view of the matter will commend itselfto both teachers and students in our affiliated schools.But I should have more hope of convincing them if,instead of thus arguing at long range, I could inducethem to come up to the University for a term andlearn what it is that we are endeavoring to do.PAUL SHOREY.V I\GR!\NT NOTES.Harvard won the deciding game from Brown in theseries for the polo championship cup, by 4-3·Lyceum Hall, one of the old landmarks on the Yalecampus, is to be torn down.

It waswon last week in 18:08, at the rate of about 9 min­utes to the mile. The wonder is that the contestantswent fast enough to stand up.It is not perhaps generally known that the inter­collegiate mile record on an indoor track is held byCragin, of Lake Forest, and was made on the Chi- cago track. Up to a few days ago it was 4: 59Yz,and Chicago had the distinction of owning the onlyindoor track in the country on which a mile had beenmade under five minutes. A week ago Hinchley inthe Yale track ran in 4:55 3- 5.

Against the odds of a few vacant chairs andmore or less apathy in the matter of oratorical am­bition among the students generally, those who hadthe affair in charge made a good showing and deservecredit.The program was carried out as published with theexception of the third number, Mr. Hanson beingprevented from attending., J. F. Hunter set the pace,with an argumentative arraignment of the saloon inits bearing on political and social reform. He wasfollowed by Mr. C. B. Williams with the winningoration, "The Liquor Problem, the Most Vital Factorin Financial and Industrial Reform." As an acute,dispassionate investigation of the saloon in its rela­tion to the economic status of the country, the orationpresented a masterly and convincing argument. Itmight, perhaps, to its advantage as a prize winner, insome places have been cast in a form more distinctlyliterary, but with the earnest delivery given it,it should win an honorable place wherever Mr. Wil­liams takes it. George B. McClellan's oration, "TheEvolution of Government," which won second honors,was quite in contrast to the preceding one. Not aim­ing so specifically at argument, its excellence lay ina happy blending of thought with literary finish.The fourth orator, Mr. William Oeschger, presentedfor consideration the important question, "How toVote," and did it commendably. "The Public Con­science," by Horace Butterworth, was the last orationof the evening and very satisfactorily rounded out a list of speeches suggestive of the earnest faith whichsome minds have in the cause of temperarice.The judges were Wardner Williams, John H. Hill,and Mr. Sherman, the latter of whom announced thedecision and in a few vigorous words drove home andclinched the arguments already presented. The win­ner of this contest becomes the delegate from here tothe state contest at Springfield in April, and if sue­cessful there, to the National contest later. Last yearour representative captured all of these prizes.Mrs. Stanford Wins.The United States has lost its case against Mrs.Stanford, and the fortune of $I5,000,000 is secured toStanford University. The Supreme Court decided onMonday that individual stockholders were not liablefor the government debts of the Union Pacific, andthat the United States had therefore no claim to Sen­ator Stanford's estates. Leland Stanford University,in the event of loss of the suit, would have been se­riously crippled, though probably not .altogetherruined.More Honor Miss France.Word comes from Cambridge, England, that 'Dr.Wilmer Cave France's dissertation on the EmperorJulian has taken the Gamble prize for 1895. Thedissertation was submitted in competition for the prize,with the consent of the Greek department, before itspublication here.

R. BARRETT.Crum on Training.One of Chicago's papers of last week contained avery interesting article by the famous Western sprin­ter, John V. Crum, on the training of track athletes.Among many other valuable hints to aspirants fortrack honors, the writer advises regularity in eating,sleeping and exercising, basing his whole system oftraining upon this common sense foundation. " Dietand rest-these are the two important things," he says.Aboutthe first of March the runner should begin toexercise on the outdoor track, and take a little daily­practice for form After about two weeks of thislight traiuing, the sprinter should begin work onstarts, which is considered the hardest work of alltrack training. Crum goes on to say that you shouldalways leave the track when you feel like doing more.Raise your knees high, so as to get a long stride, andpay no attention to your arms, but let them swing_naturally, and keep your head from shaking.As a rule the man who trains conscientiously whenhe is in college will acquire regular habits, which willding to him as long as he lives, 791leges offered thern.] Last Tuesday there were fifty-ninepresent at the track team hour. Twenty-six wereUniversity men, thirty-three were from' the highschools. Not only this; the platform and runningtrack were crowded with irresponsible boys, come into see their class-mates run. This state of things, orsomething like it, exists every afternoon.. The flooris crowded with Hyde Park, Englewood and SouthDivision men practicing starts, and the hurdles, jump­ing and putting the shot.There could be no objections to admitting these highschool men to the privileges of the gymnasium if theathletic management should request the captains of thehigh school track teams to limit the number of thosewho shall practice in the gymnasium to a few of themost promising men; and that others, especially thatfloating element of mere sightseers, who come everyday for amusement only, most of them young boys,be excluded entirely from �he floor and running track.Otherwise it may soon come to pass that Universitymen in the gymnasium will be entirely lost in theshuffie.792 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLYPURLISHED WEEKLY IN THE INTEREST OF THE STUDENTS OF THEUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO.EDITORIAL BOARD.FREDERICK DAY NICHOLS,WILLIAM PIERCE LOVETT, MANAGING EDITORASSISTANT EDITORASSOCIATE EDITORS:G.

Have never so good a trainer, with poormaterial he can do little. It is important, then, thatthe material of our athletic teams be kept up to themark, and the way to do this is to keep the Univer­sity in touch with the preparatory schools. Make itthe ultimate goal of the young athlete, as of theyoung scholar, by advising him, watching over him,and so leading him to think naturally of that Univer­sity only for his alma mater which interested itself inhim as a preparatory student.It is, therefore, en tirely the right thing that thegymnasium has beep thrown open to the track teamsof several of the city high schools. That the Uni­versity should superintend the training of these com­ing athletes is eminently sensible. But there is sucha thing as going too far in good works. It is as im­portant not to disgust the students already here as itis to gain new ones. And certainly the high schoolmen are takin� a questionable advantage of the privi- PREPARA TlONFOR8UCCE88. In athletics success is seldom won with­out faithful practice. Every brilliantexhibition on the diamond or on the grid-iron, every record made on track and field is the resultof hard, careful work and of minute attention to detail.The same principle holds in contests of mind; mentalgymnastics are essential to success. It is a poor planto neglect training and depend on a final inspiration.The real impromptu speeches are those to which yearsof preparation are given. In debate, individual workand" team work" are necessary. And it seems thatthe University debaters have recognized the ne­cessity of this preparation. A tacit agreement hasbeen temporarily made to postpone the question of cen­tral organization till "the bridge is crossed."

Nearly four hundred couples werein attendance and the affair was a decided success inevery way. The men who acted as "chaperones"were regents or professors of the University, and hadpreviously been carefully drilled in their duties bytheir wives. .As the party came during Lent it washeld in the afternoon.The money received by this event, amounting in allto five hundred and fifty dollars, was made a part of thefund for the erection of the Women's Building, whichwill be a feature of the campus next fall. This build­ing will cost about fifty thousand dollars, and is to begiven over entirely to the women students. It willserve as a meeting place for their various organiza­tions, and will permit them to enjoy all the pri vilegesof the University gymnasium, as it will really be apart of that building.Preliminary contests have been held to choose classrepresentatives who will compete for the honor ofbeing Michigan's ora tor in the Northern OratoricalLeague contest. The final contest will 'be heldMarch 20.First-year men of all departments participated inthe freshman indoor meet, which was held last Fri­day. Some good material was developed and the in­dications are that the other meets will bring out menwho will form one of the best track teams Michiganhas yet had.A partial introduction of the honor system has beenaccomplished here, and the experiments made in thisdirection during the recent examinations were success­ful in proving that the adoption of this system isentirely practical at Michigan. The initiative wastaken by students in the medical department, and themembers of the senior medical class have elected apermanent committee to enforce this system at theirexaminations.Dr. Charles Kendall Adams, of the University ofWisconsin, has accepted the invitation to deliver theCommencement address next June.

Miss Hamilton gave a talk on Bible Study.Her address was concise, systematic and helpful andshowed much thought and experience. Miss Camp- 793bell brought greetings from the Y. W. C. A. atNorthwestern and told of the work of their missionarydepartment and Students' Volunteer Band. MissGoodhue then followed with a talk upon the lessonswhich the Y. W. C. A. can learn from the ChristianEndeavor. The points upon which especial stresswas laid, were: The enthusiasm shown by the C. E.in their local, state and national rallies.The Y. W. C. A. might learn from the pledge ofthe C. E., which is the keynote of that society, theselessons: The value or daily Bible study, regularattendance and participation in all meetings. MissJ essie Butler talked on the work of the IntercollegiateCommittee of the Morgan Park Academy Association.Miss Butler thought the societies of Illinois ought tobe brought into closer relations and suggested the useof the chain letter.After each address there was an informal discussionon the topic presented. Greetings were read from Dr.Alice B. Foster, of Bryn Mawr College, and importantportions of letters, pretaining to methods of work,received by the corresponding 'secretary, were thenread. This meetin-g was due to the efforts of MissMary Thomas, the corresponding secretary.The delegates present were:Misses Parks, Wiley, Cassidy, from the Woman's MedicalSchool; Misses Campbell, Sanders, Hendrickson, from North­western; Misses Butler, Merriam, Gilman, Baker, Goss, Hollis,Davis, True, Sandberg and LeFevre, from Morgan Park.A Certain Man.He is not a very old young man, about two andtwenty, I should think, but there is about him anindescribably experienced air of worldly wisdom thatmakes you feel with your twenty years a mere child."

The attendance waslarge and good, many visitors from Lake Forest camedown with the team.The contest opened with the mile run which waswon by Cragin. Ca1houn pushed the Lake Forestman close to the tape and came in a good second.The half-mile run was a spirited race from the start,Peabody crowding the lengthy Cragin fast on theheels. The two were neck and neck for several laps,but the hot pace told on the Chicago man and Cragincrossed the line six feet to the goal. Anderson ofLake Forest set the pace in the half-mile walk andkept it until the last lap when Gunlach set his ex­tremity pedals in motion and won by two-thirds ofa lap.
