He is an able speaker and has won many hon­ors in this line of work. He carried off a first prizein oratory at Valparaiso while a student there, andsince he came to the University has been veryprominent in the debating and oratorical work of theinstitution.Forum" Public."Haskell Assembly Hall was comfortably filled lastFriday evening on the occasion of the first annualpublic session of the Forum Literary Society. Theprogram was not extravagant but intended to bethoroughly representative of the work regularly doneeach week, President W, H. Allen was in the chair. Mr. E. R. Branson's oration on "National Conser­vatism " was an argument that the social conditionsof the revolutionary period of our history and thepresent time had changed, and a plea for the more cau­tious development of our present resources rather thanthe acquisition of further territory. Mr. C. R. Bar­rett read two original poems, "Phyllis and I," and"The Serenade of the South Wind." The formerdeserves especial mention as a bit of neat literarywork.The debate was on the question of elective versusmixed elective and required courses. Messrs. H. A.Peterson and G. H. Sawyer argued affirmatively thatin this day of specialists the college man is sufficientlymature to decide his particular bent and ought not towaste useful time on irrelevant subjects. Messrs. R.C. Garver and P., B. Davis' negative argument was adenial that the average freshman knows what he isfitted to do, and a plea for the all-round man.S. C. Mosser, E. B. Evans, A. E. McKinley and F.P. Bachman extemporized five minutes each on topicsassigned by President Allen. H. H. Griswold recitedpleasingly, "The Death of the Old Squire."After the program an impromptu reception wasgiven the audience which remained. The occasion.was notable as a University" first," the Forum tak­ing the initiative in the matter of public programs.It is to be hoped that more of these society and inter­society occasions will follow.The Esoteric Club at Home.One of the most brilliant and successful socialevents that the campus has ever seen was the recep­tion given at Foster on Saturday evening by theHARRY F.

Hirsch has been appointed presidentof the examining board of the city civil-service com­mission, to succeed W. K. Ackerman, resigned. Thisappointment is one of the best that could havebeen made. One element in the possible future goodgovernment of Chicago will be the civil servicecommission, if it is rightly managed. It is essentialfor the success of the commission that able, conscien­tious, and energetic men, such as Professor Hirsch, beconnected with the work.Junior College Election.The council of the Junior College met Monday andelected Marcus P.

That we have some brilliant play­ers there is no doubt, but there is a lack of team playwhich, if not improved, will cost us some importantgames. The base running is wretched, there are onlyone or two men on the team that don't lose theirheads, even the coachers seem to forget that they areresponsible for half the bad base running. " TheUniversity fellows talk like little girls, on the coachlines," said one of the spectators at Saturday'S game.It may be that college dignity keeps our men quiet,and if the preservation of dignity is worth more thana baseball game, why then let the men maintain theirdignity. "Two heads are better than one on bases,"and the exhibition in the last innings of last Satur­day's game, when we were in -a fair way to win thegame, is an illustration; there was .no coach to keepthe excited base runner from trying to score, althoughhe had to dodge a man standing with the ball in hishand half way from third to home .. ' "There is a lackof snap in the whole team, and it discourages a pitcherto see his supporters listlessly waiting for somethingto happen. Every man ought to be on tiptoe duringthe whole game and "no sweater ought to be put onuntil the last man in the last inning is out.ENTHUSIAST.The League Contest.The faculty of the University of Chicago hasassumed all responsibility for the entertainment ofthe representatives and other guests. Chicago Uni­versity is to be commended on the amount of energyit has expended to make the contest a success. Theofficers are all very active in their preparations for thecontest. Treasurer R. P.

M. Sayford to spend this week at the University.The fact that Mr. Sayford has come here at the re­quest of more than one hundred of our students,coupled with an official invitation from the chaplain,Dr. Henderson, indicates an unusually encouraginginterest in the subject of religion. Mr. Sayford'swork is unique, in that he is the representative of noassociation, nor does he desire to organize any new movement. He simply goes about among the collegesand universities of this country arousing Christianstudents to greater activity in support of their profes­sions, and in winning new students to Christ. Hiswork began with a suggestion from an Amherst stu­dent in ' 88 and since then he has visited over twohundred colleges and won for Christianity more thantwenty thousand students.Prince Serge Wolkonsky, of St.Petersburg, who spent nearly theWOLKONSKY.whole month of April with us, deliv-ered his last lecture and departed last week. Thesame course of lectures which were heard here he isnow delivering in abbreviated form, at Cornell Uni-PRINOEversity.Notwithstanding the special invitationextended to the members of the fac­ulty to be present at the Forum Publicsession, Friday evening, they were conspicuous fortheir absence. Not even the department of elocutionFAOULTYATTENDANOE.was represented. In view of the large amount oftalk which has come from the direction of the faculty,this is surprising. We can never hope to break ourclean record for defeats on the platform until wearouse interest enough to maintain local contests.Only by friction and competition at home can theprepossession and skill requisite for victory abroad begotten. And in the work of arousing this interest,teachers and students ought to be alike actively en­gaged.College students and people generallyGOOD GOVERN- who aspire to liberal education areMENT OLUB.often referred to by their less fortunatefellows as being "impractical" and "very theoret­ical." To disprove continually this charge, forwhich there is a slight basis in fact, every oppor­tunity ought to be used. Such an opportunity isoffered in the present proposal to organize a goodgovernment club. Of great import to-day is thequestion: "Is our republic a failure?"hand there are signs of its possible failure. On everyBad gov-ernment must be looked after by. citizens of broadview. In this institution there surely are, in additionto those whose purpose is only study, some also whowill undertake the maintenance of a good govern­ment club with the hope of being able to rectify, insome way, one or two of the evils in the body politic.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Thus far in the season the baseball team hasPOOR not awakened, either in itself or in others,PRACTICE.the amount of enthusiasm which, on ac-count of the record made a year ago and of the com­position of the present team, was reasonable to expect.For some cause the men are slow in getting into form.Too many needless errors are made and too manypoor games and defeats have resulted. True, onlypractice. games-except one or two-hav� beenplayed; many mistakes and errors in play have beendue to nervousness. Various changes in positionhave also been made, and more will have to be made.At the same time there has been evident frequentlistlessness and inattention in one player or another.If we are to accomplish this spring all we are plan­ning, we must remember that unless practice gamesare played sharply and won, it will be hard to suc­ceed in later important contests.Baseball Sched ule,May I, Chicago National League.May 2, Northwestern University, Evanston.May 5, Illinois Wesleyan.May 6, Northwestern.May 9, University of Michigan.May II, Detroit League.May 13.

Like the wandererin the woods the team has completed the circle, butwe hope there will not be a story also of one withinthe other. 871The second game with the: Whitings, like the pre­ceding, belonged to the 'Varsity, but Captain Abellsblushed and refused to be the recipient of stolen goods.The unfortunate termination of the contest centeredchiefly around shortstop Sweet, who amassed a totalof six errors out of thirteen chances. True, Clarkewas touched up for several hits but that would nothave happened so frequently had the previou.s chancesbeen accepted by the fielders. J ones caught an error­less game and the team outside of Sweet gave Henrysplendid backing.In justice, however, to the University it must beremembered that it took the pick of the city leagueand a borrowed star from Anson's team to defeat us." Adonis" Terry was in fine form, allowing but threehits. When it is remembered that the league pitcherdivided honors with Griffith last year in the race forthe pennant the defeat feels less galling. Our out­field did splendid work and the stickwork was uni­formly good. Nichols and Herschberger each se­cured a three-bagger and Winston hammered out adouble. The score by innings:Varsity 0 2 I 0 I 0 0 1-6.Whitings 0 0 2 0 0 2 3 1 *-8.Captain Abells still believes that his team can beat.the victorious Whitings and a game to take placesome time in June may be arranged.Athletic Notes.In a game with Saginaw last week Michigan madeten errors in the first inning, and was finally defeated27 to 14. There are others.Yale was again defeated in baseball last week, thistime by Brown. Last fall, when Brown tied Yale atfootball, a bronze tablet marking the event was put upin the Brown gymnasium. Does this victory meananother tablet?Pennsylvania won the five-mile relay race at herinvitation games Saturday. Lewis of Yale led at thefourth mile by fifty yards, but in the last relay Ortonof Pennsylvania passed Hinckley and won by a largemargin. The five miles were run in 24.05 1-5; Orton'stime for the single mile was 4:38 1-5. Harvard wop.the mile relay from Yale, Georgetown and Pennsyl­vania in 3:282-5, averaging about 52 seconds to thequarter.Illinois defeated Northwestern easily Saturday.The score was 16 to 2. Kingman pitched for fiveinnings, and Northwestern failed to hit him safely.Last week also Rush Medical has been twice defeated,once by Beloit and once by Wisconsin. This provesnothing as to the relative strength of Beloit and Wis­consin; from general indications, however, the latterseems to be the better team,872 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Coming Events.April 30-Senior Class Event at Snell Hall.May I-Northern Oratorical Contest.May 4-Beecher Reception..May II-Kelly Reception.May I3-(?)

We find, however, that the state­merit was erroneous.: A reception was given to the Graduate Club onFriday evening, by Mrs. Crane, at her residence ouGrand Boulevard. A charming hostess made theevening most pleasant. President and Mrs. Harperand Head Professor Chamberlain and wife, from thefaculty, and almost a hundred of the graduates werepresent. , With the rapidly accumulating events, for the cur­rent quarter, it would be well to have announcementsmade early, and so avoid conflicts.
