UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Single Copies10 Cents. VOL. IV, No. 27.CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, APRIL 16, 1896.RI\ILROI\DS VS. THE UNIVERSITY I\ND THE ST 1\ TE.BY H. S. PINGREE, MAYOR OF DETROIT.In response to an invitation for something to printin the WEEKLY, I am only too glad to seize the op­portunity and write out a few random thoughts sug­gested by a recent visit to Ann Arbor, the Universityof Michigan town, where apparently, the people, thestudents and the faculty are expecting some sort of acatastrophe to the big school.Let me say first, in introduction, that conditions inMichigan in all industrial and farming lines sympa­thetic with the so-called panic, are only" so-so";in about two years the cry against taxation, begin­ning among the farmers, has swelled into somethingof a roar. At the last session of the legislature thecry was directed against the expense of the universityso effectively that even the governor was shaken andfor a time it seemed as if the executive desired toabolish the offensive institution. However, the legis­lature and the governor were content with' curtail­ment. It was a sop to Cerberus.Twelve bills introduced to modify railroad chargeswere smothered in that session of the legislaturewith not a word of protest from the governor.Now I desire to say here incidentally that theUniversity of Michigan or any other, if supported atstate expense, should be either abolished or fully andgenerously maintained. And I desire to say further',as touching your University of Chicago, that one centtaken off the street rail way charges of your big villagewould suffice to support half a dozen such universities,and another cent off would, in addition, support thestandard dozen.I believe in those old-fashioned words of Webster:" We must educate, we must educate, or short will beour race from the cradle to the grave." To this endof education the professor must be a high standardman, untrammeled by prejudice and uncurbed byspecial interests. He must be not only a learnedman but a man of originality of thought and expres­sion. For old truths often need new dresses. Hemust see the new in the old and tried. And he mustbe absolutely fearless, for the coward's words are heldin contempt. That kind of a professor is pricelessand the kind of a house for him to teach in and livein must be lofty and broad. He will not much mindwhat he eats' and, wears. Nor will he mind what kind of a coffin he is to be buried in. He will beunconscious of his busy self, and when he dies hisresting-place will be in the hearts of his pupils andhis monument will be the advanced manhood of anation.I went out to Ann Arbor, as I have said, and, feel­ing that there is nothing too good for the people ofMichigan, I took the ground that among the goodthings they should. have is a university, great andwell-paid. But happening to be a "down-easter,"with an eye to the main chance of getting money be­fore I paid it out, and disliking to pay for anything Ican't afford, or to pay for something that somebodyelse should pay for, I told them there was a railroad,the Michigan Central, running through that townthat charged three cents a mile for local passengerswhen the charge should be only two cents a mile, andthat the odd cent saved to Michigan people who paidall of the local fares would not only pay the expensesof the university but would pay the rest of the taxesof Michigan besides. And I might have added thatthe odd cent charged by the Michigan Southern,the other Vanderbilt line, would build and maintaintwo or three more universities and at the same timesupport the duke and duchess over in England; as wewould be willing, for the time being, to compromiseby supporting a section of the nobility by getting thereduction through our Vanderbilt legislature.No wonder there are close times, when artificialcharges are maintained through sheer bribery of pub­lic bodies while all things else are "slumping" toadjust themselves to the gradual encroachment of thegold standard. Why do 110t a gold congress . and agold administration take a hint from the logic of theirown action (or their own inaction) and reduce theirsalaries to the gold standard? Labor and the prod­ucts of labor have come down, why should not theimmense line of federal salaried officers and army andnavy pay? Why should a railroad be allowed tocharge three cents a mile, a charge fixed before r873,upon a practical gold standard to-day? Why shouldsome of the products of the field raised in the westernpart of Michigan be inadequate in prices for transpor­tation across the State and leave anything in the handsof the farmer, while the full _price of the art ide be put844 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.in the hands of transportation? Why isn't bond in- .terest slumping to the standard instead of going up?Why should we people of Michigan desire to reduceour university first, and do reduce it, and leave therailroads free to charge prices fixed under a silverstandard after the practical establishment of a goldstandard,-and pay these prices at the point of a bay­onet-like law? I'll answer the last question myself.It is because the larger number of men composing thelast Michigan legislature were bribed by money andthe promise of offices. It is because the governor wascompliant to the corporations that ran the politicalconventions. And yet that same governor who de­plored the Michigan State tax of $3,000,000, and whopromised lower taxation (for the future, if you please,)called a meeting in the interest of good roads in' March last, as if the business tackling of the good roads ques­tion would not double the taxation of Michigan, andthe meeting passed resolutions that we ought to havegood roads, and dispersed along with the governor tolook up delegates for the federal convention. Wehave bad wagon roads, but we have mighty good rail­roads. We are too poor to build and maintain goodwagon roads, but we are rich enough to pay excessiverates charged by railroads. That is the paradoxicalcondition of Michigan as practically exemplified bythe meeting called by the governor. We are too poorto maintain a university, but high charges of railroads,trusts and combines permitted by law, or winked atby legal luminaries, are altogether too sacred to betouched by legislatures.I\N UNSUCCESSFUL PROSPECTOR.FRANK W. WOODS.It was on the summit of Bald Mountain, "OldBaldy," as he is familiarly called, that I first metDean a few years ago.A small party of us had been camping in an oldabandoned log hotel at Seven Lakes, a group of sevencrystal ponds at a high elevation in the very heart ofthe mountains. Before the Cog- Wheel Railroad madeits serpentine way up Engleman's Canon, travelers tothe summit of Pike's Peak were wont to make thetrip on horseback by the Bear Creek Canon trail,spending the night here at the Lakes and pushing onto the Peak in the morning. But the Bear Creektrail is now choked up and the old log hotel has beenwithout a guest these many years.One morning a lady (a member of our party and afamous mountaineer) and myself climbed to the top ofthis mountain, in whose very arms the Seven Lakeslie sleeping. "Baldy" is the companion mountainto Pike's Peak, lacking only about one thousand feet ofbeing as high and towering far above all the rest of therange. But it is so overshadowed by its more famousrival that it has but few visitors. We found the sum­mit very picturesque, .and most remarkable in its for­mation. It is a huge sandy basin or bowl from whoserim rise four peaks which unite so as to form an un­broken encircling wall-unbroken save for one gapthrough which escapes a streamlet, which has itssource in heavy springs at the center of the basin.We descended into this great hollow.It is a lonely spot. Thousands of feet above theworld, with only the patch of sky above and thewaste of sand below to be seen. Not a tree, not ashrub to catch the eye-for it is far above timber line-only an occasional forget-me-not or rnertensia, bluer than the sky. Few human feet have ever trodhere. And the silence of the place! It is oppressive;it is almost fearful. A stillness absolutely unbrokenby hum of insect or breath of air. The only sound­which serves to accentuate rather than to relieve thequiet-is the low cunning chuckle of the stream as itwells up from the sand and slips away toward thesolitary outlet; after reaching which, as if exultingin its escape, it throws caution to the winds and tearswith a wild laugh down the mountain side.We walked along the brook in silence, loth to breakthe spell. We noticed the footprint of a deer where ithad come to drink from the stream. Farther away inthe sand was the track of some other animal-in allprobability a bear. In this wild and lonely spot wewere astounded to come upon a freshly plucked bou­quet of wild flowers, with stems in the water to pre­vent wilting.Who had been here so recently? His love forflowers argued that it was not one to awaken appre­hension. Soon we beard a footstep and a man drivinga burro swung around the mountain through the gapto where we were standing.He carried an ax handle in his hand which servedboth for staff and goad. His clothes were rough andcoarse, his sombrero discolored by the rain and sun ofmany seasons, and his jeans were tucked into heavycowhide boots. A great rough brown beard coveredhis face. Altogether he was rather an ugly-lookingcustomer to meet in a lonely place."Why, it's Mr. Dean I " exclaimed my friend, asshe advanced to greet him and to introduce me. "V,l ewere just wondering who plucked this beautifulbunch of mertensias and forget-me-nots."UNNERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.He hesitatingly acknowledged ownership. " Whatsort of a miner is this," I said to myself, "that caresto stop to pick flowers?" But his conversation sur­prised me even more; for he used the choicest ofEnglish and he had that clear, well-modulated utter­ance, so difficult to describe, which is the unmistak­able indication of education and culture. His pro­nunciation indeed, if it had not been so unaffectedand 'natural, would have seemed almost fastidious, forit was scrupulously careful and accurate..My friend (who is herself one of nature's ownchildren) soon began to draw him out with true fem­inine tact, and he was talking charmingly and enthu­siastically of the mountains he knew so well. Everyflower that grew upon them he seemed to be familiarwith, both by its common and scientific name. Andhe was soon clambering over the rocks like a school­boy to procure for my friend some" Alpine colum­bines," a rare and tiny plant of delicate beauty whichhe had been describing to her, while his burrolooked down upon him from the trail above in sleepyastonishment. The disparity between this rough,weather- beaten prospector's conversation and ma�nerand his personal appearance was so great that, aftershutting my eyes for a moment and listening, I foundit hard to persuade myself that the voice and the manbelonged together.As we were making our way back down the moun­tain side, after parting with our friend, I inquired ofmy companion. regarding him, for he interested megreatly. She had known him for a long time. Hehad been prospecting and mining in these mountainsfor many years. He came of a well-to-do and cul­tured Eastern family, and was a graduate with honorof Harvard University. His' father, however, becamefinancially ruined and his death hastened through thedishonesty of a friend whose paper he had endorsed.The son assumed the burden of that portion of the debt which remained unpaid by the sacrifice of theestate-an obligation which was moral rather thanlegal-and went 'west to repair his fortunes. Catch­ing the gold fever then raging in Colorado, he joinedthe army of prospectors. But bad luck seems alwaysto have followed him. At first he intended to remainin the mountains only for a 2hort time. But hope de­ferred led him on from year to year. At last he be­came so inured to his mountain life and drifted so farfrom his old ways and associations that he shrankfrom returning. Now he is a middle-aged man andstill he lives the wild, hard life of the mining campsand the mountains. He will never leave them. Re-o cently he took a short trip away from them and wasmiserable until he got back again. Though he is to­day as poor as wl�en he began, he is still prospecting.And of course he is still as hopeful as ever. Such inbrief 'was the unusual story of his life as sketchedby my friend.I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Dean severaltimes after this, while I remained at Seven Lakes.He was the most accomplished mountaineer I haveever met and knew every inch of the hills. He toldme of many exciting experiences, where nerve andcoolness of the highest order were required .. But ineverything I found him a cultured gentleman-a truergentleman it has never been my honor to meet. Itseems strange that a man with his intellect, characterand education should be content to live the life hedoes. But I have often questioned whether, with his'keen enjoyment of the glories and beauties of thesewonderful old mountains, he does not, perhaps, getmore out of life than if he had lived the conventionaland comfortable existence of some eastern city. Aneducated, accomplished personality makes a king of aman even if he be but a poor prospector who hasfailed to " make his pile."LETTER FROM SHIPLEY.The following interesting bit of news was receivedrecently by one of his old friends from Frederick W.Shipley, a fellow of the University of Chicago, whois doing research work in Italy and Greece, under Pro­fessor Holz. It was all written on an Italian postalscarcely any larger than our United States card:BENEVENTO, March 29.My DEAR CREWDSON :-You will see by the ad­dress that I have completed about half of my trip toBrindisi. Left Rome Saturday morning, climbed theAlban hills, crossed the Pontine marshes in the faceof a strong head wind, and reached Terracina at noon,sixty-seven miles; saw the sights, and then startedon for Formia, which I reached early in the afternoon just before a heavy downpour of rain.

Thesuccess, both from an artistic and financial standpoint, withwhich it met in New York should make every loyal Chicagoanfeel proud of this great educational institution, and make anew vow, if he has permitted himself to grow cold in the mat­ter, to stand by it more loyally than before, and the - best wayto do this, permit us to suggest, is to atteud these concertsregularly, aud interest our friends in them. It is a great andnoble work. The influence that Mr. Thomas has had on theAmerican public is not to be estimated. Now that we havehim we would not know how to act without him. It is notto be wondered at that the eastern press made so many harsh.statements about our orchestra, Jealousy proved too much tobe overcome, even by good music.It is also well known that Mr. Thomas was presented withtwo testimonials, loving cup, the most elaborate cups ever de­vised.

This delay is a source of great inconven­ience. Students often begin courses only to learn in aweek or two that a failure of the previous quartermakes them ineligible, to take the work begun. While it is conceded that the examiner is very busyat the end of the quarter,-making it difficult forhim to send out notices early, still the highest welfareof the students would suggest that the authorities bemore prompt, if possible, in notifying students of theirfailure.Congratulations to the University base­ILLINOIS ball team are in order, for their wellDEFEATED. earned victory Saturday at Champaign.The reports that had previously gone out from theState University gave our men anything but an assur­ance of winning the contest, and it was with consid­erable trepidation that the wearers of the marooninvaded the Illinois town. It is to be hoped that thegame was a precursor of victories to come. The Illi­nois aggregation had in a most effective way humbledthe pride of Terre Haute "leaguers," and also thenine from Wabash college.The second of the assembly informals"STAGGING IT."for members of the University, heldat Rosalie hall, Friday afternoon, was not so success­ful and pleasant as the first of the series. The reasonfor this was that so many men were present withoutpartners, a fact which very seriously marred the pleas­ure of the afternoon, since it was not possible for allto fill out their cards. �s the pri<?e of tickets is sosmall, and is the same whether the ticket holder takesa partner or not, the question arises whether there isany good excuse in most cases why any man shouldattend these inforrnals without a partner. It has beensuggested that, as a matter of precedent, those whoinsist on habitually" stagging it," be also habituallycut by the more patriotic of the students who havethe success of the iufor mals at heart.FORUM From the number of intercollegiate debat-"PUBLIC." ing and oratorical contests in which rep­rese ntat ives of the Ulliver�ity have participated onewould naturally infer that there was here a marked­local literary activity.

The game provedthat Chicago still possessed her heavy hitting abilityas of old, and could be counted upon to hit the ballwhen it was necessary. It also afforded Clarke andNichols a chance to prove themselves as good asthey were last year, and excepting their wildness, dueto this early season of the year, they showed that theycould be relied upon in their old positions in the box.With Brown, Clarke and Nichols in pitching formthere will be little to fear from the heavy hitters of theother western colleges.The game as a whole was not as exciting as thescore would indicate, owing to the fact that Chicagowas in the lead throughout the game and played withmuch more confidence than its opponents, who seemedafraid of letting themselves out.

Umpire­Tindall.Notes.T. M. Hammond, who was in Champaign on business, wit­nessed the game.The Illinois fielders managed to catch Nichols' flies, but oneof them required two men to catch it, and both men were laidout for a time by the effort. H. R. Caraway, Fred Kieugle,Frank Bryant, former students from Central Illinois, witnessedthe game.Incidentally, it is worth while to mention that Mr. Tindallgave excellent satisfaction throughout the game and was uni­formly fair in his decisions. Manager Stagg changed pitchersin the sixth inning, replacing Clarke with Nichols. Buth theChicago pitchers did good work. The players were very cour­teous and there was no guying by the spectators .. It was amost enjoyable athletic entertainment. The two red-hairedmen, Adkinson for Chicago, and Sconce for Illinois, were sur­est and heaviest at bat, although Winston got two two-basehits.-Clzampaign Daily News.Nine hundred and seventy-five people sat in the grand stand,on the bleachers, in carriages and stood on the field and wit­nessed the University of Illinois baseball team defeated byStagg's men from the University of Chicago, on Illinois Field,Saturday afternoon, the score being 9 to 6. It was the largestcrowd ever seen on Illinois Field, on the occasion of a baseballgame. The day was perfect for a baseball game, the sun shin­ing bright and warm, and all nature smiled on everything butthe University of Illinois team. Pretty girls were out by thescore in toggery which they had not worn since Easter, andthe colors of Illinois floated from hundreds of coats, but thefloating of colors counts for nothing in points with a baseballumpire. While it would not be correct 10 say that it was agood game of ball, it was far from being a bad one. Beyondthis, 110t much could be said. While the score was kept withinbounds, still the game was full of errors, too fnll to bring muchcredit to either team.--Champaign Daily Gazette.Tuesday's Game.Illinois cyclers were no match for the 'Varsity menlast Tuesday and in spite of a various assortment ofwheels the machine refused to work after the secondinning. Pitcher Murphy, a local celebrity, essayedto fool the Maroons, but after he had held the 'Varsitymen down for two innings he began to weaken andthe rest of the contest was a slaughter. Only fourhits were made off Nichols and there was no excusefor allowing a single wheelman to cross the plate.Eight innings were played and the score at the closestood I9 to 6 in favor of the' home team. Errors wereplentiful on both sides and the game' on the wholewas somewhat ragged.Outlook for Cycling.Considerable interest is being manifested among thelovers of the bicycle at the University for the comingseason. Captain Bachelle has begun to round up theprospecti ve candidates and looks forward to a busytime. Although there are several good men in the .'I......

This should not be so, and there isno reason why the University should not have one ofthe best clubs in the city.

Be­sides Captain ·Bachel1e there are Gilbert Bliss, Pea­body, Durant and Brookings.
