UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Single Copies10 Cents. VOL. IV, No. 48.CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SEPTEMBER 17, 1896.COLLEGE SECRET SOCIETIES.PART II.A. P . JACOBS.(University of Michigan, '73.)The exclusiveness of the college secret society isanother cause of complaint on the part of personswho are not members. I have never been able tounderstand why the privilege of associating withthose whom one prefers should be denied to collegestudents any more than to graduates. In the worldoutside of college no one attacks a whist club or adancing club, or any other kind of social organizationfor leaving out those whom the members wish toexclude. At the very outset the college societieswere bitterly assailed by students who had not beenasked to join the new organizations. We readthat when the members of Kappa Alpha at Wil­liams College first appeared with their badges "theeffect was unpleasant." Why unpleasant? Is thereanything in the fact that A is studying at the samecollege with Band C, which gives A the right tojoin all organizations which Band C may form? It issaid that there is a democratic spirit among scholarswhich prohibits exclusiveness; but if so it is remark­able that the best chapters of the leading societieswere originated by the chief scholars in college.Doubtless exclusiveness may be unreasonable, and itis notoriously true that a society may be so absolutelyexclusive as to defeat its own purposes, and ultimatelyto bring about its own destruction; but that is a mat­ter about which none but the members can complain.The right of those who are left out of a particular soci­ety, or of all existing societies, to form a new order, isone which exists, which has often been exercised, andwhich is likely to be exercised often in the future.Of course the originators of'the new society run somerisk of being ridiculed for failure rather than of beingrevered as founders.Inasmuch as a proper exclusiveness, so far frombeing culpable is altogether proper and in fact neces­sary, it is to be regretted that so many fraternitiesseek to extend their limits by entering colleges al­ready sufficiently provided with societies. This isinjurious both to the old and to the new organizations,but particularly to the new. Take, for example, col­leges like Dartmouth or Amherst, in each of which most of the students are already enrolled in fraterni­ties; it is conclusively to be presumed that the mostdesirable students have already been initiated, andhence it follows that the members of a new societyare necessarily inferior to those of the existing orders,and probably to the members of their own fraternitiesat other colleges. Granting, for the sake of argu­ment, that the new chapter will improve in the qualityof its adherents, yet the original members will alwayscontinue to be objectionable; and the lowering ofprestige which follows when undesirable material isformed into a society affects to some extent the earlierassociations. This evil, however, is minimized bythe growing tendency to disregard altogether the factthat the student is a society man, and to emphasizethe particular society to which he belongs. Anancient society the traditions of which are handeddown from father to son, and from son to grandson,is not to be confounded with a chapter of modernorigin. But the reckless institution of brancheswhich cannot long survive or which cannot securefirst rate men, is to be deprecated." In the universityof which the writer is a graduate two recently estab­lished branches of fraternities which have chapters inmany other colleges have been compelled to returntheir charters because they could not keep up thestruggle; and there are other societies in the fieldwhich are so inferior to their older rivals that theirmembers are looked upon with less respect than isaccorded to the neutrals.Many people condemn the college societies on theground that they are expensive, while others claimthat the expense of society life is insignificant. Inmy opinion it is better to admit-the fact -for it is afact -- that a good society, like any other good thing,costs money. Initiation fees, badges, dues to chapterand to fraternity, and the subscriptions which onemakes after leaving college, if not before, to societyenterprises (such as conventions, catalogues, song­books, and alumni dinners), are considerable charges,and if one cannot meet them he should not join afraternity any more than he should join a city club ifI"life or of fraternity matters outside of a little circleof which New York is the center, they neverthelesshold the reins, and the driving is about as successfulas that of inexperienced coachmen usually is. I donot hesitate to say that the fraternity which entrustsany large share of its governmental powers to a groupof New Yorkers commits a grave mistake.It is unfortunately true that the student fraternitiesin many colleges are guilty of unfair interference inpolitics, and of unjust combinations whereby men areelected to class and other offices without reference topersonal fitness, and with regard solely to societyaffiliations. At one of the largest universities a fed­eration of nine fraternities has for years parcelled outoffices among its constituent members, and has soarranged matters that a certain post is secured for oneyear to a particular society, and for the next year toanother, and so on. By this disgraceful scheme asociety composed of five or six worthless fellowsobtains as many 'offices as one that counts thirty-fivegood men; and societies outside of the nine get noth­ing at all, though some of them are superior in gen­eral repute, in local standing, and in character ofmembership to certain fraternities in the cabal.When the graduates remonstrated at this arrange­ment, and sought to persuade their society to with­draw from a combination that was not merely unjustbut to the stronger societies positively injurious, itwas with some difficulty that the undergraduates werebrought to realize the ultimately disastrous results ofthis conspiracy against the rights of other students ..I firmly believe that most of the bad feeling thatexists in some of our colleges against the secret so­cieties arises from the improper interference of thelatter ill elections. When one· considers what thepurposes of a collegiate fraternity are, he realizes thatthe controlling of caucuses and elections cannot pos­sibly be included among them. And it is degradingto a society presumably composed of scholars andgentlemen to cover it with the dust of political con­tests, and to place it where it must beg favors frommen whom it would not permit to enter its chapterhouse. Nothing but the absolute abstention of everysociety as such from conflicts over offices will removethis deep-seated complaint. The fraternity is out ofits place in politics. Its members have no right tourge the choice of one of their members to office.merely because he is one of their number. This is ascandal which should be suppressed.While chapter houses are the fashion of the day, itshould yet be noticed that with the advantages of pos­sessing a homestead there are disadvantages also.Where the members of a chapter meet one anotherday and night in the close intercourse which thechapter house implies, they are apt to look upon cer­tain things as essential which are in truth secondary.1046 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.he can not pay what club membership entails. Astudent would far better not join any society thanjoin one which is cheap and mean. The advantagesof society membership depend largely upon what thesociety is; and the disadvantages of joining a poorsociety are great. After leaving college one realizesthat it is preferable not to be associated with anyparticular set of college alumni if one cannot be asso­ciated with men of character and standing in thecommunity.Seeing that a good society costs money it is no re­proach to a student if not having money he remainsoutside, "Not everyone may sail to Corinth!' I amsure that all members of the better class of societiesrespect much more highly the student who, debarredby pecuniary reasons from joining one of the leadingorganizations, remains aloof from others which areconducted on an inferior plane. One is justified innot wearing a gold chain if he cannot afford such anornament; but the wearing of a brass chain platedwith gold is indeed contemptible. Is not the questionof cost one for each student, or rather for his" pa­rent or guardian," 'to answer for himself. May I notbuild for myself a home as costly as my means willallow? That being conceded, who shall deny myson's right to enter a college society which entailsupon him expenditures that I am willing to defray,but which some of his fellow-students would be un­able to incur?It should not be forgotten that some of the socie­ties have funds with which deserving members areassisted. Many members of the society with whichI am connected have had their fraternity expensespaid by the alumni. Others have been permitted topostpone payment until after graduation. But asidefrom these special helps, I confess I don't see howany society is benefited by claiming that it costslittle. If it costs little it is worth little and its mem­bers will think little of it.While I do not think the societies censurable forbeing secret, exclusive, or expensive, yet there arematters of policy, management, and procedure, inwhich changes for the better could be introduced.Some of the societies have governments altogethertoo complicated. It is absurd to divide a society ofbrothers into provinces, and to rule them by grandtribunes, eminent prsetors, and the like. Still moreabsurd and infinitely more dangerous is centralization.Some of the societies have confided very importantpowers to central boards located in the city of NewYork. In time these boards come to be self-perpetu­ating bodies of controlling influence. Their membersare regarded by undergraduates as superior beings.Yet they are not always personages of distinction, 'andalmost never are they vigorous workers in behalf oftheir society. Knowing almost nothing of fraternityUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.The negative man-s-he who has no strong points, butwho is simply" a good fellow" -is more likely to bechosen than his kind used to be; and the man ofbrains and character now needs a stronger ,. pull"than his class formerly needed. This is a source ofreal danger. Societies cannot flourish unless theyare guided by intelligence. It is true that the earlypromoters of the chapter house system-and thewriter is one of them-are not dissatisfied with theresults; but the eternal vigilance of alumni is re..,quired to prevent inj ury. 1047Were I to offer any advice to the societies, I shouldsay avoid political intrigues, snobbishness, unneces­sary expenditures, and publicity. Do not make overyour general affairs to a clique of alumni. Do nottry to force yourselves into colleges already over­crowded and in which you must for years put upwith poor material. And above all remember thesewords of President Angell: "There is not muchabiding power in organization merely. A society isjust what its members make it by their character­nothing more, nothing less."THE 'VARSITY STROLLER.No disquisition on the summer terms would becomplete without some mention of croquet. Studentsof Plato may not be aware that this exhilarating sportoccupies a large place in contemporary life. But tomany, the University without croquet would be awedding without a bride. Asshurbonipal huntedlions, Honorius raised hens, the advance studentplays croquet .. Truly, de gustibus non=disptctandum,The lexicographer tells us that croquet comes fromthe French croquer, to crack. Just what this means,we do not know. It may refer to the weather- beatenballs, to the jokes of loquacious players, or to themental state of those who play after nightfall. Thegame is derived from the medieval pall-mall fromwhich we have our word pell-mell. This term is stillpertinent; it describes the post-recitation rush of grad­uates and Divinity students for the mallets and balls.Croquetcarne to us from France via Ireland and Eng­land. The paradise of players is the grounds at Cot­tage City, Martha's Vineyard; here contestants trainfor the annual association tournament at Norwich.Good graduates when they die do not go to Paris,they go to Cottage City.In order to play, it is necessary, first of all, to havegrounds. A public park does very nicely. If a parkis not available resort to a pasture or a hayfield.Holt says that" croquet is usually played on closelyshorn turf." He never saw our grounds. The the­ologue can boast with Attila the Hun, that where hesets foot grass will never grow again. Then put upten arches in a prescribed way. The wire for thearches may be procured from the rims of old tin pans;so we found, years ago, in the country . Next securemallets and some cubical blocks with the cornerssmoothed off. The old grammatical bugbear" moreround" is a possibility with our croquet balls.It would be too long a task for us to tell you how toplay. Experience, here as elsewhere, is the bestteacher. Some suggestions, however, we may offer. Ifyou find playing tQQ violent and exhausting, watch others play. We once knew a boy brought up in theshelter of a quiet home, who found that it taxed hisstrength too greatly to look at boys playing baseballand he accordingly used to watch the girls playtennis.If you are ambitious, however, and are willing totake risks, seize a mallet and begin the round of thearches. In preparing to strike, bend nearly ninetydegrees, spread the feet as far apart as possible, thendeliberately smite the ball. Retain your positionand if it becomes apparent that you will miss, twistyour body in an agonized manner and reach themallet imploringly after the ball; you will therebyturn the ball from its course. If there are trees uponthe ground learn to give the ball a skillful cut so thatit will describe a curve. Make a relief map, thenstudy and apply the law of incidence and refraction.Assure your opponent before the game that he is" fruit," and after the game say apologetically thatyou have had" an off day."Now croquet is, like omnicura, good for everybody.Hut observation shows that divinity students are itsespecial devotees. To be sure, the graduates affectedfor a time "the wise indifference of the wise, " but nowthey, too, worship at the same shrine. Some pleasantday pass by the Grove and you will see that we arewriting history, view the crowd and philosophicallyrecall Puck's characterization of mortals, then -jointhe players.The Facultles.:The statistics of membership are as follows:The staff on October I, 1892 numbered1893July 189418951896 114155184160184These do 110t include officers of general govern­ment (Secretary of Trustees, Comptroller, President,and other administrative bodies),1048 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLYPUBLISHED WEEKLY IN THE INTEREST OF THE STUDENTS OF THEUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO.EDITORIAL BOARD.G.

III.The question has occurred to many inPILGRIMAGE the University that since so many peo­TO CANTON. pIe are visiting McKinley at his homein Ohio, and since he is a friend of the University,why would it not be appropriate for the RepublicanClub to arrange for an excursion to Canton to call onthe distinguished Ohioan? And why for the samereasons would it not be the proper thing for the BryanClub to arrange for a similar trip to the home ofBryan? The fact that the students in institutions oflearning are exerting more influence in politics thanever before would suggest the wisdom of such excur­sions as the ones proposed. They would give evi­dence of the great interest of the students in politicalaffairs and would in turn call for the interest of lead­ers in political life in developing men in college forleaders in public life.Final Week and Convocation Week.The programs of final week and of convocationweek have just been issued.

The friends who have soauspiciously aided the Universityin the fuller accomplishment oflong projected plans are Mr. andMrs. Edward Roby, A. E. Sheddand C. B. Shedd. All have longbeen friends of President Harperand the University, and Mrs. Robyespecially has taken great interestin everything connected with it.The offer made to the Universityis the use of lands and buildingsfor au inland biological station,and for a watercourse for a 'varsitycrew. The donors will also con­tribute towards the erection of asuitable boat house, and Mrs. Robyherself will see to it that theboats, etc., are taken care of. Thecourse, with .some improvements,will be one of the finest in thecountry for several reasons. It island-locked and if necessary canbe enclosed on one side. Trans­portation facilities are the best,several railroads running right tothe water's edge. A course ofover three miles long can be se­cured if necessary, and no currentor tide will trouble the oarsmen.The biological station, if the place should be deemedsuitable by the University authorities, will probablybe located on the west side between Wolf Lake andHyde Lake. C. B. Shedd, who himself is an enthu­siastic biologist, has promised to aid the enterprise inevery way possible. Several large buildings nowowned by the company will be put at the disposal ofthe biological department. On the return of Profes­sor Whitman, who is now at Wood's Hol1, care fulin­spection of the place will be made and the matterfinally disposed of. President Harper has alreadyexpressed his deep appreciation of Mrs. Roby's lib­erality.College Republicans to Meet.There is to be a big college Republican demonstra­tion Friday evening, Sept. 25, at Central Music Hall,under the auspices of the American College Republi­can League. Such a meeting has never before beenattempted by the League, and this one bids fair to bea great success. All the speakers will be men whoare either now in college, or have just recently grad- 1049MRS. EDWARD ROBY.uated. Among them will be Sheridan, of Yale;Burns, of Princeton; Cochems, of Wisconsin, andShaw, of Michigan, while our own University willbe represented by H. L. Ickes and L. Brent Vaughan,although the former has intimated that he may notspeak owing to stress of other work. A college cam­paign glee club, under the leadership of J. R. Jenkins,of Harvard, will furnish music. Members of theNational and State Executive committees will occupyboxes. All who wish to attend the meeting shouldobtain their tickets next week, from H. L. Ickes,president of the University club.The regular weekly Y. M. C. A. prayer-meetingwill be held in Snell club rooms this week, instead ofHaskell Museum, where the meetings have been heldduring the summer.

At quarter Firth sur­passed all the other candidates. He gives his signalswhile the men are lining up, passes the ball quicklyand gets into the interference with marvelous rapidity.Coy is not yet in form but can be depended upon toplay his position well. He hits the line low and hard.Cleveland has not played enough yet to justify a criti­cism of his playing. Hamill tackled well but shouldlearn to hit the line low. Herschberger's puntinghas improved wonderfully but he is just a little weakat full while playing on the defensive. Of the substi­tutes, Walsh put up a good game; Mills was weakat end and Anderson, while a plucky player, is ratherlight for an end rusher. On the whole the teamtackled well, although there is still room for improve­ment. The line up :'Varsity's Englewood H. S.Cleveland. . L. E. Schollenberger . . R. E.Kennedy . . L. T.

McNeal­Linn win second place two h�1l1dred and sixty pointsbehind the champions. They have played a steady, re­liable game throughout, finding no difficulty in dis­posing of all the teams except Hubbard-Alschuler andMc l ntyre-Campbe ll. The latter team obtained thirdplace after an uphill fight.'Varsity's First Game.The game Saturday afternoon with the EnglewoodHigh School eleven, which resulted 24 to 0 in ourfavor, gave an opportunity to the individual playersto show what they were worth, as the team work wasnecessarily weak. On the whole the result was per­haps better than we had a right to expect when it isconsidered that our line was composed of new menalmost entirely, while Englewuod had a team abovethe average in weight for a high school team, playedwell together, and has one of the best half-backs inthe West in Teetzel.. With the exception of the onelong gain around the left end by Teetzel, Englewoodonly twice succeeded in making their five yards, allof which goes to show that our line held pretty well.For Englewood, Teetzel and Henry did the bestwork, while it would be difficult to tell who defendedthe maroon most valiantly. Kennedy and Webbplayed 'well in their positions, although Kennedyshowed a tendency to overrun himself when goingdown the field on punts. Leighton at center morethan held his own, playing a heady game through­out. Burchard did not hold his part of the line aswell as he should, probably owing to the fact that heplayed altogether too high. Gordon Clarke playedan excellent defensive game, stopping plays by get­ting down in front of them, as our players have sel­dom done heretofore. Roby played his usual brilliant The Wyandot Tournament.During this week will be held the greatest tourna­ment that has been played this season as far as thewest is concerned. It is an invitation tournamentheld by the Wyandot Tennis Club, and will be par­ticipated in by Larned, Fischer, Carr Neel, Sam Chase,Charles Chase, George Wrenn and Everts Wrenn.The winner very likely will he either Carr N eel orLarned, with the chances in favor of the former, asNeel beat Larned in straight sets, at Norwood Park,earlier in the summer. However, no one can accountfor accidents in tennis, and George Wrenn andUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Fischer will be ready to avail themselves of anychance that offers itself.Neel can always be depended on to play that care­ful, even game for which he is famous. He is con­ceded by those who know what they are talkingabout, to be the best net player in the country. Ifhe were as strong on his back court game no onewould be able to withstand him. It is to be hopedthat Neel will reconsider his partly formed determi­nation to quit the game next year, as in losing him,tennis would lose one of its greatest experts and onein whom there are still great possibilities of develop­ment.The Gymnasium R.ecognized.At last the department of Physical Culture hasreceived the recognition it has earned and deservedfor a long time. Although it has had an entire build­ing devoted to laboratory work and a large field foroutdoor experiments since the University opened,never before the last quarterly announcements hasthe course of studies been given public announce­ment. But this recent official publication has devoteda full page to the department. The page is divided, asis the gymnasium, into two parts, two- thirds of whichis devoted to the men's department and one-third tothe women's department.The ladies are offered three courses throughout theyear. 1. Elementary. 2. Intermediate. 3. Ad­vanced.The men have twenty-seven courses from which tochoose their work. Besides work on the pulleyweights with dumb bells, bar bells and Indian clubs,courses will be given in work on heavy apparatus(probably with the stone derrick on the Botany build­ing) and one in general work (probably sweeping outthe gymnasium.) A course in Swedish movementsis offered by a native instructor.Astronomers See The Observatory.Although Professor Garriott could not be prevailedupon to turn on the fair weather faucets, the trip toLake Geneva last Friday was one of the most pleasantdiversions of the year. The tour was planned andcarried out in the honor of W. H. M. Christie, astrono­mer royal of Great Britain; H. H. Turner, professorof astronomy at Oxford University, and Captain Hillof the royal engineers.President Harper was in charge of the party, andPresident Marvin Hughitt, of the NorthwesternRailroad, put a special train at the disposal of theparty.The party left Chicago at 10 o'clock and arrived atthe Yerkes Observatory, the objective point of thejourney, little after I o'clock. Luncheon was servedon the train and arriving at Williams Bay, TrusteeGeorge C. Walker took the party in charge. Mr. 1051Walker's steam yacht, was put at the disposal of themen of wealth and intellect, not to mention threerepresentatives of ... the press. Among those whoviewed the beauties of the observatory were besidesthe guests and President Harper: Director George E.Hale, Professor F. L. O. Wadsworth, Miss DavidaHarper, Miss Alta Rockefeller, Master Harold Chris­tie, Master Paul Harper, Jewell Harper, AndrewMcLeish, W. B. Brayton, Edward Goodman, Prof.E. E. Barnard, A. K. Parker, Ferd W. Peck, E. B.Felsenthal, Judge D. L. Shorey, Jesse Baldwin, DeanH. P. Judson, H. A. Rust, Prof. G. W. Hough andProf. Henry Crew, of Evanston; Professor Ames, ofBaltimore; Prof. T. C. Chamberlin, Mr. Swasey andJohn Mullaney.Au hour was spent around the observatory andgrounds, and a thorough examination was made ofthe different apparatus already there, and their uses.Director Hale led the visitors through a labyrinth ofrooms, hallways and chambers in the lower stories,guided them around spiral stairways leading up inthe different domes, and pointed out the beauties ofthe region from the roof of the big building. Thebig dome, with its complicated machinery partly inplace, was given particular attention, and wonder andadmiration was expressed on every hand. ProfessorHale's corona apparatus was also given special atten­tion, and a visit was made to the power house. Theunanimous verdict of the English astronomers wasthat the U ni versi ty possessed one of the greatestand most complete observatories in the world, butwhat particularly amazed them was the fact that aprivate citizen could be found who was willing tospend such a large amount of money for the further­ance of science. They commented on the advantageof donations from private persons, over the slow­going methods of government aid.Through the courtesy of President Harper theWEEKLY was accorded representation in the partyand we hope to soon give an extended article on thegreat observatory at Lake Geneva.Majors and Minors.Mr. C.

His method of operation isthis: He states that he wishes to find a boarding place fortwo nephews, and desiring to pay for a few weeks in advance,presents a check in excess of the amount which the board callsfor, and asks that the difference be paid him in cash. Ofcourse, the scheme is a swindle, and the person in questionhas succeeded already in realizing a considerable amount outof it. �IThe attraction at McVicker's Theater is Messrs. E. M. andJoseph Holland, supported by an exceptionally strong com­pany of players, who will present that absorbingly interestingplay, "A Social Highwayman," which all theater-goers willremember as a dramatization by Mary T. Stone from Eliza­beth Phipps Train's remarkable story, which was published in" Lippincott's Magazine." The play was exploited in this cityin November last season, when the success of both the playand E. M. and Joseph Holland as co-stars was evidenced by asuccession of large and fashionable audiences, who had, byreason of their former work, come to know that it would bean exceedingly dull play that the art and genius of two suchdelightful players as the Hollands could fail to invest withsome charm.In presenting' 'A Social High wayman" to the American stage,a vehicle has been secured by these really great artists, which,for the display of their talents, could not be improved upon,for all of which the Hollands are to be congratulated. Alltheir lives have been devoted to acting, which with them is anart, mastered by tireless study which covers a period of manytheatrical seasons, during which time obstacles were encoun­tered which would have disheartened the average player ofto-day.University people are fortunate in having the completeBrink's express system so convenient to the University.

The ambitious strife of the citycauses exhaustive drains upon themental and physical resources of men,and it is singu1ar 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 brushaway 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 theGoodrich Line, with its magnificentsteamships, offers all the opportunity ofa pleasant, healthful trip at very moder­ate expense; Iu fact, it is cheaper tomake a trip on this line to any of theresorts on Lake Michigan, than to re­main at home.

Wheth­er he is a professor or a student, he is intenselyinterested in the little things that are constantlytaking place on the campus. They are readwith even more interest than the news columnsof the big daily papers.Furthermore he reads the advertisements.He wants to see what merchants are talking,and what they have to say to the students andhow they say it. He wants to see who isenterprising enough to make a special bid forthe student trade, who is willing to help sup­port the college paper in return for the businesshe gets from the students.He wants to see whether the merchant ofwhom he bought a hat this morning or fromwhom he ordered his meat last night is reallydeserving his trade or whether he is trying toget all he can out of University people andgive nothing in return. The merchant whorefuses to use the college paper as a means ofgetting business either does not want the busi­ness or thinks he can get it anyway and he willbe just the cost of his advertising ahead.Such a merchant is going a long wayaround to get to the place he might reach by ashort cut.Stand by the College paper.CHARLES H.
