They were scholarly, preciseand exhaustive; the truth was stated fearlessly, andalthough it was contrary to the patriotic ideas ofmany Americans, its very boldness appealed to thejustice of every citizen. The eyes of the countrysought the headlines, the fire of opposite opinionflashed from some, while others burned with approvalto find a man brave enough to voice sentiments theydared 110t utter. " Professor von Holst of the Univer­sity of Chica_go," was the name of the author. "Who is this von Holst?" many asked, and few couldreply intelligently. Many an answer was writtenand published in the Times-Herald in reply to thevon Holst articles on the Monroe Doctrine, and whenthe politicians and puffing patriots had had their say,Secretary of State Olney thought he had sufficientcause to answer some of the statements made by theProfessor and therefore recognized the worth of thearticles by endeavoring to counteract the effect whichthey had had upon the diplomacy of the administra­tion. Thus did Professor von Holst introduce himselfto the American Republic, and the reception he re­ceived was very warm. Together with the many dis- ,822 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKL Yotasteful things which were said, through the variouspapers of the country, came letters from many promi­nent men congratulating him on the stand which hehad ta-ken for �istoric truth. Although the people ofthe United States had to ask who Professor von Holstwas, on his side the acquaintance has been long andclose. The University world has known him formany years, and historians place him among the firstof the writers on constitutional history.Professor von Holst has given us the only consider­able book which can be distinctly designated as aConstitutional History of the United States. It wasat the advice and encouragement of the eminenthistorian, Von Sybel , that Von Holst began the studyof our government and history, which resulted in hisgreat work on the constitutional development of ourgovernment. The work comprises several volumes,taking up the progress and modification of the consti­tution, under the stress of party politics and thechanges of national requirements. It is said to be, insome respects·, the most suggestive book we have onthe progress and shiftings of parties, beyond all doubtit is the product of a great mind, showing mastery ofsubject, power of analysis, and a search for truth fortruth's sake. Von Holst practically began his studiesin American history in a separate examination ofjackson's administration. He also contributed the" John C. Calhoun" to the statesmen series, whereinhe gives Calhoun distinct and comprehensive treat­ment. By his work in United States history he hasshown himself worthy to possess the highest title tohistoric recognition. His name did not become famil­iar to students in the United States until 1892, whenhe was called to take the chair of history at the Uni­versity of Chicago. The result of almost four yearsof active service in the lecture room has been toendear the professor to his students; Carlyle was nomore admired at the University of Glasgow than VonHolst is at the University of Chicago, and surely thestory of his life is essential to a just appreciation ofhis greatness.Edouard Hermann von Holst was born at Fellin, inthe Province of Livonia, Russia, June 19, 184I. Li­vonia is a part of the district conquered by the Ger­mans and colonized by them but was ceded to Russiain 1721. His parents were German by birth, but sub­jects of the White Czar and confined to the narrowatmosphere of thought and action "'lhich is so charac­teristic of Russia. His father was a Lutheran min­ister, and his mother a home-loving, tender woman.Prof. von Holst's birthplace is just west of Dorpat, andsome two hundred miles southwest of St. Petersburg.He received his early training at a gymnasium in hisnative town. His mother's brother had charge of aboarding school at a town not far distant and thereyoung Von Holst was prepared for the University. In the spring of 1860 he entered the University ofDorpat, where he remained for three years. ThisUniversity makes Dorpat the intellectual center ofLivonia; its culture is more German than Russia, andit was there that he probably had instilled in him themore those German tendencies that belonged to him bybirth. His enthusiasm for history was kindled here,its study became uppermost in his mind. He leftDorpat in 1863 to continue his work at Heidelberg,where Hausser was lecturing at the time. Here hereceived the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in 1865,at the age of twenty-four. In the summer of 1866 hewent as a teacher to St. Petersburg, having previouslytraveled in France, Italy and Algiers, where he devel­oped the broad cosmopolitan spirit which gives hisuniversity instruction a peculiar value. In 1867, hispublication of a political pamphlet on the significanceof the attempt made in 1866 by a Russian revolu­tionist upon the life of the Czar, came very nearlysending him to Siberia. Von Holst was in SouthernFrance, where he was tutoring a family which haclmoved from St. Petersburg, when he wrote the article,and it was through the advice of an uncle who heldthe high position of court physician at St. Petersburgthat he never returned to Russia. Thus Von Holstwas practically an exile, ancl in all these years he hasnever returned to his native land, except at one timehe secretly went to his brother's wedding, and thenhe had only time to congratulate the happy couple.His stay in Southern France was probably fraughtwith many hardships, but little is known of his lifeat that time; he never speaks of it and seems to tryto forget it. In the year of his exile from Russia heturned his eyes to the West, and like many anotherold world wanderer he found a -home in the UnitedStates. Professor Von Holst sailed as a steerage pas­senger, and landed in New York with hardly a pennyin his pocket. Before he left France, three Bremenmerchants contributed the sum of one thousand tha­lers for a treatise to be written by him on " UniversalSuffrage in the United States." After much delibera­tion he finally decided that he could not conscien­tiously do the work until he had a more thoroughknowledge of political evolution in the United States.In New York he roomed with three mechanics andthey had only one chair in the room, and out of re­spect for Von Holst's learning they always compelledhim to take the chair.He made his way in the face of extreme poverty.He occupied himself in teaching, and became assist­ant editor of Schem's Deutch-Amerikaniscltes Conversa­tions-Lexicon, acting at the same time as correspond­ent of the Kolmsche Zeitung. It was during this timethat he commenced at the advice of Von Sybel, theconstitutional history of our government; and whenhe was called in 1872 to the University of Strassburg,UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.as Assistan t (extraordinary) Professor of History, tobuild up the library which it was necessary to have insuch a position, he denied himself even the smallestluxuries. On days when the thermometer registered94 degrees he would work and work in his study, theperspiration standing on his face like beads, and noteven stop to drink his glass of beer, a luxury whichto most German professors is a necessity. In the yearin which he was called to Strassburg, after five years'residence in New York, he met Miss Anna IsabelleHatt, a graduate of Vassar' 70, at the home of aprominent New York musician. The story of thecourtship is not ready for print, but many of the Pro­fessor's students would like to get a copy of his pro­posal. His friends in Livonia had heard of hismarriage to an American woman, and when theywent to the Baltic Provinces to visit friends an oldcoachman who had been told of the Professor's mar­riage, held up his hands in wonder when he saw Mrs.Von Holst. "Ah! madame," he exclaimed, "I amso pleased, I thought you would be red." .In 1874 he was called to the university of Freiburgim Br. as full professor, a position he occupied wheninvited to undertake the work in Chicago. In 1878-79 Prof. von Holst was delegated by the PrussianAcademy of Sciences to make further historical inves­tigations in the United States, having had placed athis disposal a considerable sum of money for this pur­pose. On this occasion he was able to visit thesouthern'states and the districts beyond the Missis­sippi for the first time.Professor von Holst is not wanting in political ex­perience. In 1882 he was summoned by the GrandDuke of Baden to membership in the upper house ofthe Diet, a position he later held as a representativeof the University. His legislative duties occupied avery considerable portion of his time during the ses­sions of the legislature.Professor von Holst lectured in Freiburg upon theHistory of the French Revolution, of the NapoleonicPeriod and of Europe and of Prussia since 1815. Hepossesses great' powers as a lecturer and has, withhis broad, living knowledge of European conditions,awakened in the students of this University a new in­terest in forms of modern development outside of theUnited States.Prof. von Holst has for years past directed almosthis entire attention to his extended work, "Verfass­ungs geschichte der Vereinigten Staaten seit der Ad­ministration Jacksons," the first volume of whichappeared in 1873 and which is now complete, com­prising in the English translation seven volumes andcovering the period from the election of Jackson tothe outbreak of the war. This work has been .carriedon in spite of prolonged and distressing ill-health,which might well have driven all thoughts of contin- 823uing his laborious undertaking from a mind that wasless determined.Prof. von Holst has a charming home where thestudents are always welcome. Mrs. von Holst is acomely hostess and entertains her guests in a delight­ful and profitable manner by her varied experienceand culture. A son and daughter complete the happyfamily circle. Hammond von Holst, the son, grad­uated from the University of Chicago during the firstyear and is now attending the Boston School of Tech­nology, and Miss --- von Holst is a talentedmusician and sings in Kenilworth church.Prof. von Holst on his return will give lectures be­fore the law club of this city, to which students of thecity law schools will be admitted free. It is as a lect­urer that Prof. von Holst reveals his true worth andforce, and these city lectures will undoubtedly attractnational attention.A life such as this needs no comment. The worksof the man are more eloquent than praise. The stu­dents of two great nations love him for his self­sacrifice. When Prof. von Holst left the Universityof Freiburg, at a reception gi yen in his honor, one ofhis students came to him and said: "I am broken­hearted at your going." To say that we miss the oldman during his absence from this University, is poorexpression for the loss which we feel. May his vaca­tion bring health and strength, for his own sake, andfor the sake of the University.Bad for the United States.In a letter written March 10 to a member of theWEEKLY staff, Principal A. M. Fairbairn of MansfieldCollege, Oxford University, says this, besides otherthings, respecting the Venezuela boundary dispute:,. The feeling of England is altogether a feeling asto the impossibility on such an issue * * * ofwar with America. 'And on this point unless ourpeoples on both sides lose their heads there ought tobe 110 difference of opinion among all good men. Ihope that the counsels that make for peace will becommon to both our peoples. We would regard sucha war as simply the last calamity that could befall theworld in this age, especially so far as the developmentof the United States is concerned."Instruction in Art.'Negotiations are pending which may result in theUniversity of Chicago taking charge of the class in­struction of the Art Institute. Mr. Carpenter of theArt Institute said the officers were considering such aplan, as it was better to have teachers come to theirbuilding and give instruction than to send a class offorty pupils across the city to receive instruction, asis now the case.Columbia Debate Off.What may prove to be the death-knell to intercol­legiate debates between Columbia and Chicago Uni­versities was sounded at the close of last quarter.At a meeting of the Oratorical Association, a motionwas made and carried that the debate be postponedone year.The action was taken not without reason. Co­lumbia's course throughout the whole matter hasaroused considerable adverse comment here. Co­lumbia first suggested that the debate be open to grad­uate students, a proposition to which the Universityagreed. The Eastern college then shifted its course,and requested that the debate be restricted to under­graduates. Again the local association agreed. Co­lumbia failed to submit the question until an intervalof several weeks had elapsed, but insisted that thedebate be held not later than April 17. Chicago ac­cepted the question with the proviso that it shouldnot choose its side until after the local preliminarycontest. This seemed fair and reasonable as the can­didates were free to debate upon either side, at theirown option. To this Columbia demurred, and as aresult the debate is practically off.A modified constitution was adopted which will besubmitted to the faculty by the committee consistingof Messrs. Ickes, Garver and Wilson.824 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO W'EEKL Y.Still Another Defeat.[From the U. of M. Daily, March 28.]In its first debate with Chicago, Michigan won lastnight. The contest was an exceedingly hotly foughtbattle, and great credit must be given the men whoupheld the negative for their admirable defense. Thequestion to be discussed was" That the states shouldadopt a graduated property tax," Michigan havingthe affirmative side. Messrs. Vert, Block and Albrightspoke for Michigan, while Messrs. Whyte, Mitchelland Vaughan defended the opposition. Some discus­sion arose before beginning as to granting a rebuttalspeech to Chicago but the matter was finally left tothe j ndges who decided to allow them a six minuterebuttal and Michigan one of eight minutes, TheBanjo Club furnished music before and at the close ofthe debate.By way of introduction General Alger said: "It isalways interesting to see young men engaged at anytime in contests, physical or mental. Whatever weget of any value comes by contest. The finest steelis made by fire and hammer; the strongest men aremade by trials they have to overcome in life."* * * * * * *Mr. Whyte, of Chicago, then closed the argumentfor his side with a speech of six minutes and Mr.Vert made a rebuttal of eight minutes for Michigan.The debate was over and the judges withdrew toreach a decision.During the interval President Angell spoke briefly,saying that it was very pleasing to note that debatesbetween the great universities were becoming quitepopular. People have come to think generally, hesaid, that the college is intended to develop brawn,and by such contests as this such an idea is beingchecked.The marking of the judges was as follows:MICHIGAN.Vert ..Block ... Ballentine. Compton. McClellan.. I 3 2·4Albright . . . 5 5CHICAGO.Whyte. . .3 2Mitchell . . , 2 6Vaughan . . . 6 4Total-Michigan, 27. Chicago, 35. 5462President J. B. Angell gave a reception at his houseafter the debate to those who had taken part. Ourrepresentatives report an hour of uncommon pleasure.There were present, besides the debaters and PresidentAngell, General Alger, the judges of debate, andPresident James H. Canfield of the Ohio State Uni­versity.Columbia University is now the name of what hasbeen known as Columbia College, and the change isfully justified by the institution's growth. Organization -ot the July Graduates.On Wednesday, March II, the July graduatingclass met in the lecture room of Cobb Hall andformed a permanent organization.Mr. Clarke was temporary chairman and after theprovisional adoption of the University College Con­stitution the following officers were elected: Presi­dent, Mr. Joseph E. Raycroft; vice-president, Mr.W. T. Chollar; secretary, Miss Elizabeth McWil­liams : treasurer, Mr. Raymond C. Dudley. TheExecutive Committee is composed of Messrs. Wooley,Moffat, Stone, and Misses Klock, Ide, Grace Freeman,and Agnes Cook.A modified form of the University College Consti­tution will undoubtedly be adopted at the next meet­ing.Many excellent plans for the future were discussed,which it is hoped will materialize. The most notablewere, one to have a dancing floor laid in sections inthe men's gymnasium whereby the University assem­blies, etc., may be held on the campus. Anothersuggestion was for the class to get out a senior classbook.This is certainly desirable and would be thor­oughly appreciated, not only by members of theclass, but by the entire student body of the Univer­sity.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Glee and Mandolin Clubs.The Glee and Mandolin closed the most success­ful season on record, singing March 16 at First Bap­tistchurch, March 17 at Englewood, and March 20at the Kenwood Club, where they were given a danceafter the concert. March 20 the annual businessmeeting and election of officers was held.The WEEKLY congratulates the Clubs on theiryear's successes which have been the result of sincereand earnest work. From the present outlook the pros-.pects for a fine organization for next year are unusu­ally bright.It has been suggested that in so far as possible theClubs would retain their autonomy during the springand make good use of the beautiful moonlight nightswith which this section is favored.Before disbanding last quarter the Glee and Mando­lin Clubs held a business meeting in Kent Theatre andelected the following officers:L: ,.; GLEE AND MANDOLIN CLUBS.United Organization: president, Gilbert A. Bliss,Mandolin Club; secretary, John T. Campbell, GleeClub; manager, Horace G. Lozier, Glee Club.Glee Club: leader, Horace G. Lozier; president,James S. Brown; secretary, S. C.

Petrie, who is making some explorationsin Egypt, writes to Professor Breasted that he hasfound deposits of five hundred scarabs and placquesof colored glazes with cartouches and twelve hun­dred glazed objects, besides three slabs with thenames. These are to go to the University of Chicago.He adds, "I am now going to clear two small tem­ples north of the Rarnesseum, so you see we are get­ting through the field of temples here at a prettygood rate. Quibell is doing the Rarnesseu m , and Iam doing the others. We make complete plans of allthe buildings and foundations." 825Letter from Japan.Mr. E. A. Buzzell furnishes the WEEKLY with thefollowing interesting letter from an alumnus in Japan:43 TANKIJI, TOKYO, Feb. 24, 1896.DEAR MR. BUZZELL :-You may be interested inknowing that Washington's Birthday was duly cele­brated here in the name of the University of Chicago,by a "supper" at my house. We have now in Japana pretty .good representation of the-old-and-the-new­University.

Asada (Ph. D., '93),is teacher of Old Testament Exegesis and .Hebrew inthe Methodist Theological Seminary in this city; andMr. Kozaki (recently a special at the U. of C.), isalso in this country, but has not yet been defi­nitely located. He, therefore, was not present lastSaturday, and Mr. Carrothers also was unable toget away from his regular duties, but sent a niceletter of regret. The others however, were allpresent at our" Washington Supper." The fol­lowing ladies were also present: Mrs. EmmaHaigh Fisher (Knox College, Class of '77); Mrs.Genevieve Faville Topping (Lawrence University,Class of '85); Mrs. Nel lie Hall Clement (formerly astudent of Wayland Academy, now affiliated withthe U. of C.); and Mrs. Jesse Clement (for manyyears actively identified with the interests of theold University).After dinner, with the kind help of Dr. Asada,we learned the college yell, and let it out two or threetimes. We also indulged in singing a little of" It's away we have at Chicago." I must add, that, as it isleap year, the ladies escorted the gentlemen and thelatter were served first at the table ..I need only say in conclusion, that we had a veryenjoyable time gossiping about the old and the new;and that we are planning to make this" WashingtonSupper" our annual reunion.

The Col urn­bia debate is by common consent postponed to nextyear; the challenge from Columbia came really toolate to admit making arrangements between institu­tions so far apart. A contest with Lake Forest Uni­versity had been looked for, but since no candidatesappeared here for the preliminary, negotiations werenot completed.Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, Lake Forest-four defeats!Are there no more worlds to conquer us? Last yearwe defeated Kent Law School and were overcome byLake Forest; this year we have made three attempts,and thrice failed.But who said" Enough"? There is no reason fordiscouragement, if the situation be calmly considered.The University is still young; it has just made itsfirst doubtful efforts with its companions on the plat­form. When judged beside our athletic history-touse a worn but good comparison-our record in debateneed not be decried. Our experience this year, thefirst year of active interest in this kind of undertaking,proves what are our weak and our .strong points.Pity the man who cannot learn from defeat!Next year we are sure to have very important meet­ings.

The team is to open the season, notonly with the inspiration coming from a proud recordlast year, when only Michigan could dispute the honorof the championship of the West; but it also has theUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.inspiration to be had from a trip to the East wheresome of the leading college nines of the country are tobe played. And not only this, but the team has theenthusiastic support of the entire University, whichhas the greatest confidence in the ability of the mento playa winning game. It is too far ahead to tellwhat the team will do this year either in the East orWest, for it is a fact which cannot be passed over,that the 'Varsity's trip will arouse the other Westernteams to play better baseball than last year in order,if possible, to beat the team and deprive it of some ofthe glow it would gain if it vanquished any of theEastern colleges.It will be necessary for the team to play severalgames before its strength can be properly determined,because of the fact that it cannot be told just what thenew men will be able to do. The positions which areopen-shortstop, right field and center field-are allto be filled by men not on the team last year, andtherefore their work wiII be watched with the great­est interest. The candidates for these positions, how­ever, have been tried in other kinds of athletics and areknown to be strong, and there is, therefore, the great­est confidence in them. All who are interested in up­building baseball in the University ought to use everyeffort to arouse the members of the nine to a full real­ization of what great things are expected of them.For the .Summer Quarter.Among the instructors specially appointed for thenext summer quarter are the following prominentmen:Elisha Benjamin Andrews, A.

Division six will include thosehaving less than three majors credit, division fivethose having three majors or more, but less than six,and so on in this order. Division one will includethose who have fifteen majors or more. Thus therewill be in the University Colleges six divisions, andin the Academic Colleges six divisions. Each ofthese divisions will be placed under the special chargeof some member of the Faculty as a division officer,and the intention is that he might pass on with thedivision from quarter to quarter until the studentspass into the other college or graduate, as the casemay be." In the first week of each quarter, division meet­ings will be held at which division officers will pre­side and the students of the divisions will choose oneof their own number as division counsellor who willbe chairman of the division during the quarter. Thesix student counsellors thus chosen in each collegewill form the student council for the college and willbethe medium of communication between the Facultyand the students for such matters as may be referredto the latter." The division meetings will be required, absencesfrom the same, unless properly excused by the divis­ion officer, counting like absences from the examina­tions. Various other matters connected with thedivision meetings will be explained later."The first. division meetings will be held Wednes­day, April 8, at 12: 30, in rooms which will beassigned on the bulletin boards. The attention ofstudents is especially requested to the assignment intodivisions as published in the Weekry Record."Michelson's Experiments.The Michigan Schoolmasters' Club held its twenty­sixth annual meeting last week at the University ofMichigan.

The initiates were J. E. Raycroft,F. D. Nichols, H. D. Abells, Forrest Grant, J. S.Brown, H. M. Adkinson, Carr B. Neel, Nott W.Flint, C. B. Herschberger and C. D. Bachelle. Thisinitiation has been expected for some time among fra­ternity men. The establishment of a chapter of thatfraternity should be joyfully welcomed by the otherGreeks at the University, for the chapter not onlystrengthens local fraternity life, but is another indica­tion that nationally the University of Chicago is com­ing to be considered a fit home for such life, and awelcome addition into the ranks of those institutionswhere undergraduate life is strong and active. It isanother bond between our student body and those ofother worthy institutions with which we wish to beassociated. The new chapter will begin its fraternityexistence in a well-appointed house at Fifty-seventhstreet and Monroe avenue. The house is being newlyUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.furnished and with the opening of this quarter severalof the men will be living there, probably Adkinson,Brown, Herschberger, Dr. Schwill and Nichols. Mr.Linn who has been pledged, will live among them asa guest until initiated.Paderewski's Generosity to the University.MR. PADEREWSKI did a magnanimous thingwhen h� made it possible for so many membersof the University to hear his last piano recital in Chi­cago at the Auditorium on Saturday afternoon, March2I. He sent four hundred tickets to President Har­per and almost all of them were used. He thusatoned in a commendable way for breaking his engage­ment to be present at a reception to be given to himand to some of the musicians of Chicago by President,Harper.The distinguished pianist gave a program of thir­teen numbers together with several encores at thislast recital. The program was of such a nature as toreceive the highest appreciation of everyone present.And four or five of the numbers were so ably renderedthat Paderewski was compelled to depart from hisusual custom and respond to encores. Paderewski'sgenerosity toward the University is much to bepraised.' Few universities have been so honored bythe ,distinguished musician, and the members of theUniversity who heard him ought therefore to considerthemselves fortunate in having such an opportunityoffered them.The Debating Society.The debating society at its last meeting elected thefollowing officers to serve during the Spring quarter:President-Wm.

OF M. DAILY.A Communication.To THB EDITOR OF ,THE WEEKLY :- The followingis an extract from the University column in the Sun­day Inter Ocean of March 15, and was written, thereis reason to believe, by a University correspondent forthe Inter Ocean:" It is more than rumored that the whole inter-fra­ternity conference was arranged for the benefit of twoor three societies who, having broken the faculty reg­ulations, were trying to 'square' themselves by thismeans. It is needless to say that the whole plan fellthrough with somewhat of a thud and that the onlyresult has been to divide the fraternities into factionsand range them against each other even more thanbefore."The whole of the matter quoted is absolutely false,both in general and in detail; and was written eithermerely for the sake of sensational journalism or elseas a deli bera te slur.HENR y L.
