UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Single Copies10 Cents. VOL. IV, No. 23.CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, MARCH 12,.1896.THE BI�E!\KING OF !\ FRIENDSHIP.JAM�S WEBER LI�N.Louise wandered slowly down the hall. TheFreshman in the entry, who so admired Louise, satbent over her required mathematics in her room.If she had only known it, this was her opportunity tobreak the ice. If she had invited Louise in, Louisewould have gone, so entirely aimless is she; and thisstory would n�ver have been written. But the Fresh­man was thinking hard, and did not look up, soLouise passed by the opened door unrecognized. Shehad an impulse to go in anyway, but then what wasthe use. The Freshman was sure to gush. She wenton down the hall. Mary Nesbitt's door was shut, andno one answered when Louise knocked, so she wentinside. There was no one there. The inner doorstood ajar, the divan looming beyond, large andempty. Mary was evidently out." Now, isn't that provoking!" said Louise. "Whyshould Mary be out just now, when I want to talk toher? " She sat down on the cushions of the divan,tucked up her feet, and mused on the contrariness ofthings.Here was she, young and pretty. She knew shewas pretty as well as she knew she was rich, and sheseldom forgot that. Why should the world, the fleshand the devil all be arrayed against her? Why, in­deed? And, yet, they certainly were against her, andalways had been. Since she was a little girl she' hadalways had to do the things 'she didn't want to do ;and the things she wanted to do, and did, had al waysturned out badly in the end. She had wanted to -goto Smith, and couldn't just becauseher aunt was fool­ishly and violently opposed to girl's colleges. Soshe had cried and came to Chicago and joined PsiGamma. In her Freshman year her aunt had died,and her father had said she might go to Smith now.She had cried two nights over that, because at Smiththere wasn't a decent girl in Psi Gamma; everyoneshe knew was in Nu Kappa Omega. In the end shehad decided not to go to Smith at all. That was onlyan example; nothing had ever gone right with ber.Certainly she was not responsible for-any--of-math­ernatics - moustaches - Harry- elective * * *Louise was asleep." It's only because she thinks of nobody except her­self." That sentence rang in her ears as she opened her eyes. Sleepily she recognized Mary's voice, andlay still. She didn't care to talk now, so what wasthere to get up for? She wondered, half awake, whoit was who was so self-centered." You must admit that she has good reason." Besswas evidently over there too. She must have beendozing when they came in, Louise thougbt. Sheidly wondered how long they had been there. Besswent on." I don't know of a girl who has better reason, IfI bad the world at my feet as she has, I think I wouldbe conceited myself." Louise smiled as she thoughtof Bess with the world at her feet. Poor Bess! Shewould be lucky if she could get a corner large enoughto rest a toe on. But Mary was saying,"She's more than conceited, she's selfish. Thetwo things aren't synonymous always. I've knownlots of conceited girls, and more men, who weren'treally selfish at all. It isn't anything to be conceited,anyway. If she didn't know how attractive she was,she'd be an idiot. Only she's more of an idiot forletting us see she knows it."" The men like her." That was Bess." At first. But she palls on even them, sometimes,after awhile, though she's always at her best withmen. She's as fond of men as the cauu ibal King,you know. Besides, what difference does it makewhat men think. I never saw the man yet who couldjudge a girl properly till she got tired of him."Louise felt a sudden sympathy for this girl 'whomthey were dissecting, whoever she was. Men werefond of Louise, too, even more than girls were. Wasit possible Mary was jealous of this other girl! Itmight be, though men were also fond of Mary, g:ener­ally. The monotonous condemnation went 011. ."She simply doesn't care what happens to anyoneelse, or what becomes of them. The men like her,did you say, Bess? Look at Fred Graves. Do youknow what he left college for? He liked her verymuch before that; I wonder if he likes her as muchnow? "Louise caught suddenly at a cushion. Wa.s it pos­sible - that they were talking about her? FredGraves? She knew, or thought she knew, why hebad left college. There couldn't have been any800 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.other reason-any other girl? Mary's voice brokein again."She puts everything that happens behind her ownmirror, and stands in front of it ; and because she seesonly herself she thinks that is all there is there. Ifher father lost all his money to morrow, and commit­ted suicide, the first thing she would think of wouldbe her own social standing, and nine-tenths of all hergrief would be because she had lost that. She simplycouldn't think of what her father had suffered, or howher mother felt. To me that is the quintessence ofselfishness; not only always to think of yourself, butnever to think of others."Louise's soul flamed up in anger as quick as it wasfierce. It was she, Louise Manton, of whom they hadbeen saying these hateful things. She was sure of it.Mary had been her closest friend, but there was littlesorrow in her wrath for that. A girl who would ma­lign her so, who would say behind her back that shewas conceited, and selfish and cruel! Mary was jeal­ous because she herself was outshone; because sheherself wasn't as pretty, nor as interesting, nor aspopular as Louise, she· slandered her to the othergirls. Bess was astonished, too. She had not knownthat Mary could be so bitter. She said:" I don't think you are quite fair. You generalizetoo much from' insufficient data, as Mr. Salisburywould say. I never found her as heartless as that."But Mary was inexorable." Then it's because you don't know her well, that'sall," she said. "Why, we've known that girl to dothings an ordinarily thin-skinned Zulu would beashamed of, and never wince. I wish I could tellyou-but I can't. Only take my word for it, she hasno more heart than a pea."The blood went into Louise's cheeks, but not intoher brain; that was as cool as ice. She got up silentlyfrom the divan and appeared in the door. Bess's backwas turned but Mary saw her." Why, howdy, child!" she said, "I didn't knowyou were in there. Been asleep?" Effrontery!" Don't you think hypocrisy is at least as despic­able as selfishnessr " Louise had no difficulty in keep­ing her voice low. Bess turned quickly, and Marysaid:" What on earth do you mean? " "You ought to have been an actress." Louise'svoice was still under control. "But you don'tanswer my question. Do you think it is nicer, oronly safer, to say things behind a person's back, thanto be conceited? I wonder whether you get up theseclever little character-analyses of everybody, or onlyof your best friends? What do you say about Bess,for instance? Come, tell me now; .is she selfish, orvain, or only popular? One seems to be as bad asthe other to you."Mary sat silent, her face hardening. Bess spokeanxiously. "Why Louise dear, I don't understand.We didn't --.""No, you didn't know I was there, I know. Prob­ably you would have been more careful, if you had.Still I don't see that it made any difference. I wasonly a little more fortunate than the rest of the peo­ple Miss Nesbitt usually describes, because I heardher, and they don't. I know now that I am heart­less and conceited, and generally despicable, andreally hardly fit to associate with. If I were onlytalking to some one else now, so as to be safe in yourfashion, Miss Nesbitt, I might say that you were atale-bearer, and a gossip, and a meddler in whatdoesn't concern you; but since I know you are here,I'll imitate your own discretion, and not say any­thing, except to bid you a very respectful good after­noon. Bess, will you come? It will be one more toslander when your back is turned." And even inher anger rather proud of the way she had carriedherself, Louise passed out and up the hall.Bess was the first to speak. " She thinks"--Ii That we were talking about her.' I know il,"said Mary." Shall I go and tell her now? She was so suddenI really couldn't speak in time! " Bess got up.Mary drew a long breath." No," she said, "don't tell her now."" But, dear, I don't understand," replied Bess, per­plexedly. "You know we weren't talking of her atall.' ," I know, Bess."" Then---aren't you going to -- ?""Tell her? No, dear."Bess only shook her head. "I don't understandyou," she said. " I don't understand you at all."If I Were Knight.If I were a knight in gay armor bright.And thou wert in sore distress,My steed would I stride and with plume blown wideWould hie and thy wrongs redress.As thou wept alone in thy tower of stoneWould'st thou hear my cheering song;And the barred gate 'neath thy pane would shakeAs I battered it all night long. And then with the morn to my taunting hornWould thy loathed captor come,And with conqu'ring shout through his harness stoutWould I send my good sword home.And then would'st thou see how I think of thee,And would'st hear my love confessed ;-If I were a knight in gay armor brightAnd had helped thee, sore distressed.CARL CHAPEAU.UNNERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.The Illinois Debate.Friday evening next the debate between the Uni­versity of Illinois, located at Champaign, and the U.of C. will takeplace at KentTheater.

The personalacquaintance which so many of the students havewith those who will take part, should add a new andpleasant interest to the evening's entertainment andROBERT LAW, JR.be a potent influence in encouraging such work at theUniversity.

It is in some degree themeasure of our strength as college men before thepublic. A defeat means criticism, which in itself is.not a bad thing, but it often means injustice. In CULTURE,among a constantly increasingnumber of students, for the formation of a GeneralAthletic Association. Whether it be wise or not toform such an organization at this early date, beforeour traditions are formed or our precedent in athleticswell established, is an open question. The problemswhich have thus far met the management of the Uni­versity athletics have been numerous and difficult ofsolution, and the majority of the students have peenreasonably well satisfied with the efforts of the J?res­ent management; many even thinking that itwould be a sad mistake to place the interests 'of theathletics of the University into the hands of an irre­sponsible student organization. There has, however,been considerable criticism expressed from time to timeon this or that particular action of the Board of Physi­cal Culture', much of it due to the fact that these actionshave necessarily been thrust upon the students in anarbitrary manner. In view of this dissatisfaction, thequestion may fairly be raised, would it not be alto­gether advantageous to the best welfare of our athleticinterests if the students were given a voice in themanagement and policy of the athletics of the Univer­sity. By admitting student representatives into itsmembership the Board of Physical Culture need 110tsurrender any of its authority; but quite to the con-order to escape such criticism, victory is the on�¥,: trary, it would add to its power and efficiency by im­honorable and safe preventive.

The men are chosen for the first two, theirsis the responsibility, but the entire undergraduate de­partment is at present responsible for the debate withColumbia.

Either of theseactions would be greeted with the unanimous approvalof the students, and by increasing the general interestof all the mern bers of th e U 11 i versi ty , would be the be­ginning of a student sentiment which could ultimatelyresult in the formation of a thoroughly competentGeneral Athletic Association.UNNERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.CHAMPAIGN REPRESENTATIVES IN THE DEBATE.N.

Daily was gottenout by the women of the University, the profits goingto the new women's gymnasium.The American University Magazine for March con­tains a valuable article by Leroy, 'of Michigan, onIntercollegiate Athletics in the West.In regard to the question of recognizing the bellig­erency of the Cuban insurgents President Angell isquoted by the Detroit Free Press as having given hisopinion against such action, and as having said thatthe attitude of both of the legislative branches of thegovernment is directly opposed to the principles ofinternational law. '" And from what I hear,' hesaid, 'I do 110t think that President Cleveland, inwhose discretion the matter lies, will accord, belliger­ent rights.'"The Yale News has recently published letters fromvarious institutions all over the country, regardingthe adoption of the honor system in examinations.The consensus of opinion is generally favorable intheory, but as yet impracticable.Acting-president judson's letter was as follows:"In answer to your favor I beg to say that the fac­ulty of, the U 11i versity of Chicago has not taken anydefinite action in the direction you indicate. My own� ,i. , ", ; .,; • personal opinion is that the success of the honor sys­tem will depend very much upon the general charac­ter of the student body. I can see readily that undersome conditions it might be a great success, andunder others might be a most lamentable failure.

My feeling isthat it should not be entered upon unadvisedly andthat it would not he safe or wise to undertake it un­less the st udeuts as a whole should support it and bepositively desirous of its adoption.Message From Egypt.Professor Breasted, the Egyptologist, has receivedthe following message from Egypt:Dear Breasted .-We have discovered a new temple here in which the Nubianking Ergamenes is found, together with Ptolemy IV.

Although thefirst game will somewhat rush the season, Stagg doesnot expect to be caught by illusory visions of rawcandidates. The practice in the gymnasium the lastfew days, not to say weeks, has been of the kindwhich is sure to turn out _a strong team. There is noreason to t hi nk otherwise ,S9 )opg as __ such .splendidmaterial to select from is at hand. Of course indoorwork is always mote or less uncertain but in the prac­tice several new candidates have made a very goodimpression. Noticeably among these are GordonClarke, Herschberger, Rothschild, Sweet and Sawyer,all trying for the position of short-stop.The rest of the infield is well protected by membersof last year's team, as is also right field where theextra pitching talent alternately will hold forth.Captain Abells, from all indications has improvedgreatly over last year's work and the same probablyholds true with all the old men. Adkinson's weak­nesses at second have been his" off-days" and u n­certainty at the bat. Nothing but steady practicewill rectify both, and there is no reason why he shouldnot be a star at his position. Winston in the indoorpractice has picked up in his batting and his shynessfor" inshoots" has decreased considerably. It willbe hard to displace him at third, still the other candi­dates should not lose courage as it is out of com pe­tition that the strongest team is evolved. Hagey hasI his eye on the place and has practiced faithfully.'With short-stop provided for the box- should thushave one of the strongest of the regulation stonewallsin the West. The bulk of the pitching will probablydevolve on Henry Clarke, but J. Scott Brown is fastforging to the front as a man capable to hold his ownin the fastest company. Nichols is undecided as towhat he will do, but if he should find time to play, hewill alternately relieve Jones behind the bat and 0'0, binto the box when occasion should require it. Lastyear his arm was laid up the greater part of the sea-150n, but at present he has regained all his old-time speed and efficacy. Jones will, of course, be the main­stay behind the bat. His throwing to bases was notas accurate and swift as that of Nichols last year, buthe improved constantly, and there is no doubt butthat he will fill the bill in every respect. His battingwas a feature last year and he has already ruined thewoodwork in the cage this winter. Pike will also tryfor catcher's position and should' prove a valuablemall.Those tf) ing for field positions, or anything else,are numerous, and the race for the finish is gettingexciting. It would be hard to pick the winners, butthe thing that will count most in their selection willbe batting, and Stagg is giving close attention to thisfeature. The candidates are: Evans, Dunn, Minard,Blackburn, Kennedy, Hamill, Fair, Breeden, Wil­liams, Reed, Wilbur and Freeman.The schedule of games for the season has. practicallybeen made np, and begins with a game with Univer­sity of Illinois April I I, and closes with University ofWisconsin June 20.

The firstoue of the series took place last Friday afternoonwhen the Reds, captained by Miss Bell, met defeat atthe hands of Miss Winston's Blues.

Banners were waved and cheers givenincessantly.The game was called at five o'clock, with Miss Cool­idge as umpire and Miss Tefft as referee. Duringthe first two minutes the ball hovered around thegoal of the Reds. The Blues quickly recovered them­selves and began throwing for their own goal. MissBartlett was there as guard, and the ball in her handswas a signal to the players to watch the ball sail oyertheir heads to the other side of the room. Miss Rad­ford soon made a goal, Miss Tilton one, Miss Radforda second and Miss Hay one, with a long-distancethrow.

Therecords made were remarkably good and some cameclose to those made at the collegiate meet. The meetwas in charge of J. E.

Heath & Co., Boston. $3.00."Dr. Lawrence is particularly qualified for this task, owingtohisacquaintance with American citiz-ris and theirideas. Hehas been able to view with great impartiality the internationalquestions which have arisen between England and the UnitedStates." The book is not a technical one for lawyer's use alone, butis a lucid and cogent treatise on the history, philosophy anddiplomacy of international law. Dr. Lawrence, of Cambridge,has done for England what e x- President Woolsey of Yale, hasdone for the United States. "-Yale Courant.Dr. Lawrence was once connected with the University ofChicago as University Extension Professor of History and In­ternational Law, a fact which makes his' work unusually inter­esting to us.In arrangement of contents and in style of composition thebook is logical aud easy to use and comprehend. Its four partsare entitled: The Nature and History of Iuternatjonal Law,The Law of Peace, The Law of War, The Law of Neutrality.The preface says: "The table of contents has been so arrangedas to afford an analysis of the whole book; " and the analysishas been carefully followed. Also:" At the bottom of nearlyevery page will be found references, by the use of which teacherand students can amplify or correct the statements in the textand men of affairs obtain the more detailed information they 809may want for practical purposes." In respect to binding andtypography the book is indeed a pleasure to behold; it is as awhole an excellent sample of the modern publisher's art.An Introduction to Ethics. J. Clark Murray, Professor of Ph ilosopivy,McGill College, Montreal, pp. Vii, 407. De Wolfe, Fisk & Co., Boston, Mass.,Publishers.Those who know Professor Murray would expect a masterly,inspiring and readable work from his hauds. These expecta­tions have been amply fulfilled in the work before us.From beginning to end it shows a thorough acquaintancewith the field of ethical literature, from earliest times and indifferent lands. The problems which have arisen for menhave been fully appreciated and, from his own standpoint,fairly met.The point of view is Neo-Kantian. In many points itreminds us of Green, though far more clearly and directlyex­pressed. The view is consistent.' throughout and criticismmust be directed at the central: point of view rather than atdetails.This criticism might be that he regards the moral ideal as anobjecti ve standard to be cognized and in accordance withwhich life ought to be directed. Some of us. might object tothis static view aud assert that psychological analysis showsthat ideals are not things to be attained but concrete dynamicvaluations of the life itself used as methods of procedure forthe analysis and valuation of experience. The former viewmakes the ideal abstract, static typical; the latter makes itconcrete dynamic and functional.Some First Steps in Human Progress. By Frederick Stan'. PP.305. Flood& Vincent, Meadville, Penn. $I.OO.One of the most fascinating subjects of study is that depart­ment of the new science of anthropology which treats of cult­ure-history. It is a matter of great interest to learn how ourancestors of a primitive time attacked and sol ved the en or mousproblems that faced them in the first efforts' to subdue nature,and how they took the first difficult steps that have made suL­sequent progress easy and rapid. Fire-making, food-getting,basketry and pottery, hunting, cultivation of plants and do­mestication of animals, the man of the stone-age, metal-work­ing, weapons, dress, tales and tradition, custom and law,­these are subjects about which we all are eager to learn. Butit is difficult to secure such information except in technicalworks of great detail and discouraging length. In this work,Professor Starr, of this University, has told the story of the" Eir-t Steps in Human Progress" in clear, simple aud enter­taiui ng fashion. The book is exasperating because of its verylimitations. It is written with the Chautauqua Circle in view,and gives us but h iuts and. vague iudications, where we longfor something more. It seems at times as if Professor Starrcould have made his treatrue nt of certain toP!CS more com oleteand satisfactory with a very little more space. But his �bjecthas not been to sat isfy with easy au swers but to incite to fur­ther study.The Night.As I watched the Mighty Dark come downAnd swallow np the Light,I thonght the most wonderful thing on earthIs happening every Night!Brink's Express Company makes ten o'clock, one o'clock,five o'clock and other trains from Hyde Park and vicinity 10the city.
