UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Single Copies10 Cents. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, JULY 2, 1896. VOL. IV, No . .37.SONG OF NINETY-SIX.(Tune: Alma Mater. Omit refrain.) EFFIE A. GARDNER.The time draws near when we shall beAway from thy gray, gothic wallsAud long-remembered classic halls,But oft our thoughts will turn to thee,Dear long-loved Mother of us all.Our voices were the first that sangThy praise. Our hands the first to placeThe ivy, that in time would graceThy brow, and it thick locks o'erhang,Dear long-loved Mother of us all.The circumambient blue hangs o'erThy fretted, frowning, dark gray towers,Yet that same blue is ever ours,Though on some distant, unknown shore,Dear long-loved Mother of us all.The starry hosts impartial shineMoons crescent, full, and wane, when dayHas flung his fiery torch away,And vigil keep o'er thee and thine,Dear long-loved Mother of us all. But in thy children's hearts there glows,Brighter than gems from orient mines.Dearer than pilgrims' holy shrines,The truth, triumphant over foes,Dear long-loved Mother of us all.We fain would sing the grand old song,As men and women true to thee,Of truth, that bids all men go free,Unshackled, brave to right the wrong,Dear long-loved Mother of us all.God only knows what is in storeFor thy first-born! The quiet timeAlone with thee will, in its prime,Rich fruit into thy lap outpour,Dear long-loved Mother of us all.We linger, Mother, still awhile.No more thy lessons can we learn.We steal away. Once more we turnTo greet again thy parting smile.Hail, Reverend Mother, hail to-day!All hail, green ivy tipped with red!All hail, ye smiling blue o'erheadAnd brooding battlements of gray!THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO-A SYMPOSIUM.REVIEW OF THE FIRST FOUR YEARS.ttbe jfinancia { 1bistot}?The original subscription of John D. Rockefellerfor the fouuding of the University of Chicago wasmade in May, r889. The subscription was $600.000and was conditioned on the securing of the additionalsum of $400,000 by the first day of June, r890, ingood subscriptions. F. T. Gates and T. W. Good­speed secured more than this sum within the requiredtime, ill subscriptions from which the full sum of$400,000 was realized.In the autumn of r890 Mr. Rockefeller agreeingwith Dr. Harper, who had been elected President,that the institution should be in fact as well as inname a University made a second SUbscription amount­ing to $r,ooo,ooo.The year r89r was made memorable in the financialhistory of the University by an additional contribu­tion of $r ,000,000 by Mr. Rockefeller, and by thedesignation to the University by the executors and trustees of the estate of Wm. B. Ogden, of seventyper cent of that portion of the estate devoted by thewill to benevolent purposes. From this latter sourceabout $300,000 has already come to the University,and more is to follow.The year 1892 began with another donation of$r ,000,000 from Mr. Rockefeller, and ended withstill another contribution of $r,ooo,ooo from thefounder. It was still further distinguished by theraising of $r,ooo,ooo in Chicago within a period ofninety days. This great achievement was accom­plished by the President assisted by the Secretary.The money was subscribed for a building and equip­ment fund. It was begun by the subscriptions ofMarshall Field and Sidney A. Kent, whose large con­tributions were followed by those of Silas B. Cobb,Martin A. Ryerson, George C. Walker, Mrs. N. S.Foster, Mrs. Henrietta Snell, Mrs. Mary Beecher,Mrs. Elizabeth G. Kelly and others, This million952 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.dollars proved in the end to be for the most part aseries of contributions for buildings, very little beinggiven for general equipment.The need of a large fund for this purpose becamemore and more evident, and the years 1893 and 1894witnessed the beginning, the temporary failure andthe final success of an effort to secure $1,000,000 forgeneral purposes. This movemen t was begun by thePresident of the Board, Martin A. Ryerson, with asubscription of $100,000. During these two years, thehistory of which cannot well be divided, Mr. Ryer­son added to his subscriptions $80,000. Mr. Rocke­feller gave a total of $826,000 for various purposes,and Mrs. Caroline E. Haskell gave $100,000 for theHaskell Oriental Museum and $40,000 for the estab­lishment of the Haskell and Barrows Lectureships.The year 1895 was, however, the red-letter year inthe financial history of the University. In OctoberMr. Rockefeller made a contribution of $1,000,000,and added to it a subscription of$2,000,000 conditionedon the securing of $2,000,000 from other donors bythe first day of January, 1900, generously agreeing,however, to duplicate all contributions made by othersup to the sum named before the above date. Beforethe close of the year Miss Helen Culver, of Chicago,gave to the University property valued at $1,000,000,for the equipment and endowment of the BiologicalDepartments. She designated $300,000 of this sumfor the erection of the Hull Biological Laboratories,and this amount proving inadequate, has made anadditional contribution of $25,000, that the buildingsmay be erected as planned, without encroachingfurther on the original donation. The corner-stonesof the four buildings of this noble quadrangle arebeing laid on the day the UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOWEEKLY goes to press.During the week on which the University opened,October, 1892, Mr. Chas. T. Yerkes, of Chicago,agreed to purchase the great telescope, the largest inthe world, and erect a suitable observatory. This workhas been going forward ever since that period. TheObservatory located at Lake Geneva is approachingcompletion. It is not possible as yet to say howmuch Mr. Yerkes' gift to the University will havecost him on the day when he delivers the keys of theObservatory to the President of the University.T. W. GOODSPEED.Jobn lD. 1Rocltefellet.John D. Rockefeller, who, by his munificent gifts,founded the University of Chicago, was not born witha silver spoon in his mouth. He belonged to the mid­dling class, if in our country there are any classes.He was one of the toiling multitude. He worked ona farm in Central New York, and early learned howto battle with difficulties and overcome them. He was, however, destined to do greater things, although,at that early period of his life, he had not even oneprophetic glimpse of his future career. Yet, withinhim there had sprung up, he knew not how, an in­tense desire to succeed in something. At last hedecided to go West and discover if possible the fieldof his future activity. He made his home in theenterprising city of Cleveland. There he was readyto do any honorable work, and what his hand foundto do he did with his might. He also became aChristian and a member of the Christian Church andan earnest Christian worker. Among other churchduties he performed that of usher in the First BaptistChurch of his adopted city.While thus occupied in secular and religious work,petroleum made its advent. He became interested inthe business of producing and handling it. Hisenterprise grew and his marvelous business powersbegan to unfold. At last, under his thoughtful andfar-seeing suggestion, combinations of similar interestwere effected. Step by step, with rare skill, conserva­tism and energy, his great enterprise was developedand matured. It is now one of the wonders of theworld and the frugal, energetic fanner-boy has becomeone of the richest men in the United States.If, however, he were simply rich, that in itself wouldbe little reason for gratulation; but very much of hisvast wealth he conscientiously uses to benefit his fel­low men. A large number of persons, of whom theworld knows nothing, are the happy recipients of hisfavors. Poor boys and girls in our schools, strugglingchurches, institutions of learning, and Christian mis­sions, are being constantly helped and cheered by hisunostentatious gifts. He both knows how to acquire,and to use money. A rich miser all good men despise,but a rich giver they justly applaud.N or should we fail to note the fact that Mr. Rocke­feller, notwithstanding his enormous business, hasnever ceased to be a faith fu1 Christian worker. Heis the superintendent of the Sunday-school in theEuclid Avenue Baptist Church, at Cleveland. Al­ways, when at his summer home, near that city, hedischarges the duties of that office, and esteems theprivilege of so doing as a great honor. He knowspersonally every teacher, and almost every scholar inthe school, and no one fails to receive his cheerful,hearty recognition. His entire family enthusiasticallyjoin him in this good work. For many years Mrs.Rockefeller has conducted with rare tact the largeinfant class.Moreover, those who have enjoyed his generoushospitality have been charmed and blessed at the hourof morning prayer. The entire household assemblesat the appointed time; the Scriptures are read, alltaking part in this exercise; suggestive comments onUNNERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.the passages of the morning lesson, from some able,biblical scholar, are presented; a sacred song is sung;and then Mr. Rockefeller, always the high-priest ofhis own house, simply and tenderly leads all presentin their approach through prayer to the throne ofgrace. Looking upon this picture, no one will besurprised at the statement that Mr. Rockefeller totallyabstains from all use of spirituous and malt liquors,and from tobacco in any form. In this he is a splen­did example to all young men; and while at our Quin­quennial they applaud him on account of his gifts,may they be wise enough also to emulate his virtues.If his eye should fall on these few words which wehave so heartily written, we trust that he will notconsider them an offensive intrusion into things toosacred for the public gaze. For in his religious lifewe find the hidden spring of all his benefactions. Hegives not for personal aggrandizement and glory, butthat he may honor God and bless his fellowmen.The inspiration which impels him to make great giftsfor the promotion of education and true religion isdrawn from communion with Jesus Christ.GALUSHA ANDERSON.1l)resi�ent 1barper.It is not too much to say that William RaineyHarper is the most noteworthy president of an educa­tional institution in this country. Though still ayoung man-he is not quite forty years of age-he hasalready achieved a success that is great in extent,manifold in kind, and beneficent and lasting in char­acter beyond the success won by many eminent edu­cators only in the latter years of a long life of toil.And the most remarkable thing about it is that thesuccess has been gained wholly by his own efforts, byhis ability as a student, a teacher, a scholar, by hisunceasing industry and prodigious physical and men­tal power to do work, by his capacity to grasp a sub­ject both in the breadth of its application and in theminuteness of its details, by his ready, practical, and far­reaching sympathy, by his boundless enthusiasm, byhis hopefulness, his courage and his fertility of re­source, by his loftiness of purpose, by his unselfish­ness, his modesty, and his love of the truth,-in aword, by his personal genius. He would be the firstto acknowledge indebtedness to friends for that assist­ance of many kinds which helps every man with aworthy career, but it is what he has actually done,and not a fortunate train of circumstances, that hascaused him to be sought for one position after another,the result in every case abundantly justifying thechoice. The following paragraph in the Annual Reg­ister gives an outline of his scholastic history:A. B., Muskingum College, 1870; Ph. D., Yale University,1875 ; Principal of Masonic College, Macon, Tenn., 1875-6;Tntor in Preparatory Department, Denison University, 1�76-9;Principal of same, 1879-80; Professor of Hebrew and the( 953cognate Languages, Baptist Union Theological Seminary, 1879-86; Principal of the American Institute of Sacred Literature,1888-; Principal of Chautauqua College of Liberal Arts,1885-91 ; Principal of the Chautauqua System, 1891-; Pro­fessor of the Semitic Languages, Yale University, 1886-91;Woolsey Professor of Biblical Literature, Yale University,1889-91 ; D. D., Colby University, 1891; LL.D., University ofNebraska, 1893; Editor of the Biblical World and of Hebraica.People who have met Dr. Harper only a few timescan hardly help feeling somewhat acquainted with aman who is so easy and natural in his bearing towardthem; yet those who have been intimate with him foryears are continually surprised at unexpected displaysof his power. He is one of those men who, withoutattempting to do so, impress their own personality ontheir associates and on the public. Those who knowhim best find themselves least able to describe himsatisfactorily, there is so much to describe. Thosewho have worked the hardest under his guidance arethe most devoted to him. He expects much workbut he always leads in amount.May this first lustrum of his presidency be manytimes repeated. F. J. GURNEY.Ube IDoung .Men's cbnsttan :association.One of the first student organizations to be formedat the University that has had a permanent growthwas the Y. M. C. A. A number of the men felt thatthe student body ought to have a vital touch with arecognized national college men's Christian organiza­tion. So in the winter of the first year of the Univer­sity, a branch was established here. A. A. Stagg waschosen president. Many of the leading men of the in­stitution became members. T. G. Soares, of the grad­uate school, was elected president in the spring of ' 93.During this year there was a quiet growth, and theassociation took its place naturally in the college life.The third president was Arthur F. Watson, anactive member, who had been connected with theassociation from its foundation. The most importantevent of this year was the planting and supporting ofa mission at Fisk and r Sth streets. In connectionwith the Y. M. C. A. a Sunday-school, Sunday even­ing service, clubs, singing school and kindergartenwere carried on successfully. Walter A. Payne waschosen president in the spring of· , 95. For some timethe advisability of having the graduate and under­graduate members meet separately had been discussed.Last fall the division was completed, with the under­standing that union meetings were to be held once amonth. On Friday nights the undergraduates meet inSnell club room, and the graduates in Haskell assem­bly room. Last October H. D. Abells was electedgeneral secretary. Everything considered the yearwas a successful one. S. M. Sayford, the college evan­gelist, carried on special meetings for ten days duringthe month of April. The strength of the associationis now in the undergraduate devotional work. It hasVoluntary courses are offered in Elementary VocalMusic, Harmony, Theory of Music and History ofMusic.Recitals and Musical Lectures are given in KentTheater, Wednesday afternoons throughout the year.Forty-five Recitals have been given.Thirteen Musical Lectures have been given as fol­lows: By· Mrs. John Vance Cheney, W.·· Waugh.

The twoorganizations have their fields, and each is strength­ened by the other.In addition to the Friday night meetings, there is aunion meeting of the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. on Sun­day nights.' These meetings have been exceedinglysuccessful and profitable. After a half hour of praiseand prayer, different professors make fifteen-minuteaddresses upon chosen subjects. No one can afford notto attend these meetings, as the opportunity to listento these professor's thoughts upon the spiritual sideof life is valuable to all. Bible classes are also con­ducted by the association.Two general receptions are given each year, be­sides the informal ones. In short, the associationtries, in its way, to build up the most loyal collegespirit possible among the students of the University.H. D. ABBLLS.Social :JLife at tbe 'Ul ni\?ersft}2.Together with the question, "How do you like theUniversity?" is generally coupled another, "Isthere much social life down there? Do the men andthe girls see much of each other?" The first ques­tion is easily answered-a burst of enthusiasm tellsthat story, but the second is worthy of a little medi­tation. Just what is meant by "social life" at theUniversity might be a little hard to define. Oh, yes,I know it all looks very ordinary, commonplace andcitified-on the surface: the men call, the girls en­tertain, there are receptions and parties, dances andoccasional dinners, and in June there may be aslight summer resort fever about the place. What isit, then, that makes the social life of the Universitydifferent from that of other colleges; different fromthat of city social life? What is. it that lies backof co-education considered as such, back of the factthat as students we are set apart from· ordinaryyoung people who" go out." Well, then, it is firstand last the spirit of comaraderie that pervadesall or nearly all relations between the men and thewomen, that makes possible a certain innocent freedomfrom restraint, while it debars anything stronger thanPlatonism; a comaraderie that is born of a comfort­able recognition of the fact that as the men andwomen entered the University they have equal rightsto be here, and finally, of a certain interesting ineligi-Ibility generally too hopeless to be exciting or dan-gerous.

WARDNER WILLIAMS.jfraternittes.Fraternity life in the University of Chicago has keptpace with the general development of the institution,and shows to a marked degree the tolerance' andbreadth which is a distinguishing mark of the Univer­sity policy. Fraternity wars are unknown and poli­tics and wire-pulling are noted by their absence.Most of the leading fraternities have already estab­lished chapters here, and others will doubtless follow.The old faculty rule that required of a freshmanthree full quarters of residence in the Universitybefore he was eligible to membership, has been modi­fied so that at present only six months is required.This rule ha.s not been in force long enough to judgeof its workings.Each chapter that has a house, properly organized,may at once be recognized officially as a Universityhouse, and bears exactly the same relation to theUniversity that the dormitories do.On the whole, the fraternity life of the Universityis on a very high plane, and seems exceptionally welladapted for the attainment of good fellowship a�d mu-tual helpfulness.

It is with considerable trepidation thatthe board of editors undertake to guide the fortunesof the WEEKLY, knowing as they do, that with eachsucceeding year, additional responsibility falls to theirlot. The past year has been full of encouragement tothe WEEKLY in all its branches, and under the ablemanagement of the retiring editors it has reached acommanding place among college journals of thecountry. It is the ambition of the newly elected ed­itors to retain the high standard of the past, and ifpossible, increase the usefulness of the paper. Tothis end new features will constantly be added, whileconservatism will also find its proper place.The success of the UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOWEEKLY is in the hands of the students, and it is tothem that the new board look for the support thatthey justly believe they are entitled to.The quinquennial celebration duringthe present week is certainly worthyof the occasion. It serves as a con-II QUINQUENNIALCELEBRA TlON."venient point from which to observe the advancement, of the University q.urin� the few years of its past his- "The Cap and Gown has now been outfor more than two weeks. It seems,therefore, that there has been sufficienttime to judge of its merits and demerits. ' If a com­parison is made between this and the annuals ofother institutions of learning, it will be found tobe on a par with the best of them. Most of the mem­bers of the University, however, prefer to comparethis year's annual with that of last year. If this isdone it must be conceded that from a mechanicalstandpoint, the Cap and Gown published last year issuperior to that of this year. This holds true bothas to the paper and as to the illustrations. It must besaid, however, that the manager this year founddifficulty in securing good pictures, so that the faultis not entirely with the publishers. But if the ma­terial in the book and its arrangement aretaken intoconsideration, the annual this year has a slight advan­tage over that of last year. More space proportion­ately is given to student organizations, and in thearrangement, also, there is a slight advantage thisyear in that the literary matter is all in one part ofthe book while last year it was distributed. Then,too, the advertisements this year are not mixed withthe literary matter as in last year's issue.It would seem, therefore, that the fact that everyfeature of University life, as we find it, is so thor­oughly and systematically treated, that the' 96 annualought to be in the possession of every member of theUniversity. And it is to be boped that the advantagesof the first two annuals may be combined to make theTHE CAPAND GOWN.third annual a model book of its kind.Sergeant of Police-" Sir, you will have to take inthat projecting sign-board;"Levy (a c1othier)-" Take dot soign iu ? HolyMohammed!

On the ever lengthening roll of Amer­ican historians must be placed a new name-that ofJ ames Ford Rhodes.Three years ago there appeared the first volume of awork entitled, " History of the United States from theCompromise of 1850 to the Inauguration of GroverCleveland. By James Ford Rhodes." The first hasbeen followed by a second, and very recently by athird volume bringing the narrative of events to thesummer of 1862.The intrinsic worth of these volumes, the genuinefavor with which they have been received, and thefact that their author during the college year 1866-67was a student of the pre-Rockefellerian University ofChicago, merit for them and their author more than apassing notice.The thirty-five years whose history Mr. Rhodes hasundertaken to write are the years most intimately con­nected with the Civil War. Very properly the workwill close with the inauguration of President Cleve­land, March 4, 1885. With that event the Civil Warmay be said to have closed. With President Cleve­land's election and inauguration the Republic entered011 a new era. Then not only legally, but in thoughts,sentiments and aspirations we were again a reunitedpeople. From 1860 to 1885 we were not one people.The Democracy was under the ban. Its patriotism,even its ability to be intrusted with the control of thegovernment, were distrusted by a majority of theA merican people. But the victory of Grover Cleve­land in 1884 showed that the Nation's confidence hadagain returned to the Democracy-that we were againone people. And bitter as was the defeat of thePlumed Knight to his friends time may be said tohave justified in large measure the confidence reposedin President Cleveland, at least in most respects.The wealth acquired by Mr. Rhodes in the ironindustry at Cleveland, 0., has enabled him to buymany of the materials for his history. On every pageappears the result of the most diligent investigationin his own and the large libraries of the country. Theancient motto of Harvard, "Veritos," has been hisguiding star.Mr. Rhodes is writing a political rather than asocial history, yet the social feature is by no meansomitted. A striking feature of the work is the ex­tended characterization of the great actors in our his­tory. A good example of this is the characterizationand description of Douglass in the Kansas-Nebraskastruggle, standing in the arena of debate and van­q uishing all comers. 951The style of the work is not brilliant, but simple,straightforward, business· like, without the statelinessof Bancroft, the picturesqueness of Parkman andPrescott, or the literary finish of Motly. Mr. Rhodes'work has not on the other hand the dryness of Hil­dreth nor the ruggedness of Schouler.This work has something of the clearness of state­ment and presentation that belong to John Fiske,and of the deep philosophic insight of Dr. VonHolst's volumes--tliough lacking the latter's force,vigor and penetration.The period of our Nation's grandest civil strugglewas a time of passion, but this work is remarkablycalm, judicial and dispassionate. It will deservedlyhave a host of admiring readers.WALTER S. DAVIS.History Library, June I5, I896.The Chicago Beach Hotel.Mr. Geo. B. Ross has taken the management of theChicago Beach Hotel, Harvey S. Dennison, theformer manager, having retired. Mr. Ross, throughhis former connection with the Hotel Windermere,. iswell and favorably known to members of the Univer­sity, who wish him success in managing the affairs ofthe big hotel. The spacious dining-room of this hotelhas been the scene of a number of University socialfunctions during the past year.Optimism.A moment of joy is given,I love thee, moment of joy,Pure gold from the throne of the heavens,Earth-tinged with a precious alloy.The alloy of a past now conquered,Though heavy with pain and woe;The alloy of a grief-flecked future,That waiteth upou me, I know -.Earth-tinged, yes, akin to me mortal,A child of my life, my own.Made bold, my faith I will utter,How weal for the ill doth atone.The good is a bit of the Changeless;The ill with the bearing is done,The ill is the sweat of the running;The good is the goal that is won.Though the scales of the hour weigh falsely,The scales of forever are true,'Twere well, though one should await thee,Rare l?oment, a long life through.One moment? Nay, many are given,But each, unique and alone,Outweighs all sorrow and sighing,Pure gold, come fresh from the throne.E. G. DODGE.958 uNIVERsrrv OF CHICAGO WEEKL v,Chicago vs, Brown.The East and West crossed bats on Marshall Fieldlast Saturday afternoon for the first game of theseries for the intercollegiate championship of theUnited States, and the West came out victorious. Itwas Brown University, representing. the East, andChicago representing the West. and Chicago won.The game itself was perhaps the best ever played onMarshall Field, and was not won until the last halfof the ninth inning, when a smashing single byNichols brought in Brown and won the game by ascore of I to o. It was a pitchers' battle from start tofinish in which only two hits were secured by eachteam.At the bat three 'Varsity men fanned the air, whileseven of the Brown men failed to connect with Nich­ols' curves. Chicago's misfortune at the bat consistedin batting grounders, which were promptly gatheredby the fine infield of the opposing team. Brown onthe other hand, batted a great many flies to the Chi­cago outfielders. In the field Brown was far supe­rior to the'Varsity. It is considered to be the bestfielding team on the college diamond and certainly itdid some great work.The game was won in the last of the ninth withonly one man out. Hitherto only one brown stock­ing had seen third base, and the maroons had notgone farther than second. When Chicago came tobat in the ninth, the greatest enthusiast could havehardly expected the team to score, as it had beengoing out ill one-two-three order in every inningexcept the first, when four men were at bat. Thefact, however, that two men preceded Nichols in thisinning gave a glimmering of hope, if only a mancould be gotten to second or third. And such wasdone. Brown, the first man up, batted an easy oneto Lauder at short, which he threw wild to first, andBrown was safe on the initial bag. A moment laterSummersgill threw to first to catch the runner, butthe ball went wild and Brown landed on second.Sawyer was the next man up. He proved to be justthe man for such a critical point, as his sacrificetoward Rodman at first enabled Brown to reach third.With only one man out Nichols strode to the plate.He had been giving most of his attention to pitchingand consequently had DDt secured a hit during thegame. He squared himself, however, and sent the first one Summersgill pitched, out between secondand short. Phillips tried hard to get it but it passedhim, and Brown scored. The crowd rose en masseand a mighty cheer went up. The vanquishers ofYale had been beaten in one of the greatest collegegames ever played in the West.For Chicago, Nichols, Jones and A bells did thebest work, while Dunne, Lauder and Summersgillcarried off the honors for the visitors.Neel the Champion.The University championship tournaments have atlast been finished despite the unfavorable weather.For the first time in the history of the University,ladies' singles and doubles, and mixed doubles,were played. Hill won the men's singles, defeatingLinn after a hard contest in the finals. Neel, al­though he was not in very good form, through lackof practice, showed his superiority over all the otherplayers by again successfully defending his title ofchampion. The Mac Quiston brothers won the cham­pionship in doubles, defeating last year's champions,Torrey and Lansingh by default. The championshipin ladies' singles went to Miss Farrington after fivehard sets with Miss France. Miss Farrington andMiss Rew won the ladies' doubles and Miss Farring­ton and Mr. Torrey the mixed doubles.H. M. M-ac QUist011, who is probably the best ofour younger players, has reached· the finals in thewest side tournament. Carr B. N eel is playing inthe Invitation tournament at the Chicago TennisClub and has not been beaten thus far. Neel willprobably represent the University in the importanteastern tournaments this summer. -We Lose th� Second.The second of the series, Tuesday, went to Brownby a score of I3 to 3. A fuller account of the gamewill be given next week. The hits were Chicago 8,Brown I2 ; errors, Chicago 3, Brown 4. The attend­ance was 2,000. Chicago's support in the grandstand was disgracefully poor, there apparently beingmore Brown than Chicago sympathizers present. Thethird game of the series will be played to-day withNichols and Jones as the battery for Chicago andMelor and Dunne for Brown.Michigan Takes Comfort.While, of course, Michigan regrets very much theidea of being forced to drop into second place in therace for the western collegiate baseball championship,yet there is no little amount of consolation gatheredfrom the fact that we have had no difficulty in defeat­ing Chicago in four contests in other lines. We haveorated with them, debated with them, played footballwith them, and contested with them in field events,and have in consequence, planted the banner of vic­tory high above our men.-U. o.f M.

Last Thursday theUniversity was honored by the presence of two foreign-appear­ing men in tourist garb, who appeared in Cobb Hall, and oneof whom presented a card reading, in French, "Michel Revon,Professor of Law in the Imperial University and Counsellor tothe Minister of Justice, Tokyo, Japan." They asked in verybroken English for a guide, who spoke French, to show themthe buildings. Nearly the entire press club happened to beat-hand, and, scenting a story, they one and all started to findthe desired French-Englishman. They did not succeed. TheFrench library was visited, but there each occupant pointed toeach other occupant as the person wanted. Several boarders in" French clubs" had to confess that their knowledge of spokenFrench extended only to "Please pass the bread " or " I shouldlike a cup of coffee." Attacks were made in the direction of oneor two students who have" spoken French for years'," but theyhad other engagements which demanded immediate attention.A mall who h rd "traveled extensively in F'rauce " beat hur­ried retreat when he learned what was wanted. No nativeFrenchman or instructors in French in the University could befound.

The ambitious strife of the citycauses exhaustive drains upon themental. and physical resources of men,and it is singular that more do not seethe necessity for rest.But where can this be obtained? Thetime occupied in lying around in a ham­mock, or loafing on the veranda of somebusy hotel, does not refresh the mind orstrengthen the body. The proper relax­ation is to enter into the delights of pis­catorial pastime, hunting, boating, orsome other occupation that will brusha:way the cobwebs from the musty cham­bers of the intellect.'. And then the busy housewife and thechildren need the change of air andscenery, Not all families can afford themore expensive outings that involve avisit to some far away resort, but theG;<;>odrich Line, with its magnificentsteamships, offers all the opportunity ofa- pleasant, healthful trip at very moder­ate expense.
