Waterhury.AN ATTAcK 'ON THE CIVIL SERVICE.Mr. Immanuel K. Robinson had a reason for everything he did. Also he did everything for which heconceived there was a reason, and did not do thingsfor which there was .in his opinion no reason. Heli fted his hat on meeting ladies, -not because it was thecustomary thing to do, but because, the custom existing, an omission of the salutation might give rise tomisconstruction, which in turn might result in undesirable relations-a very proper distinction. He avoid'ed the society of girls. Girls, he said, had no sense.Ergo there was no reason for seeking their conversation. If artistic motives were urged, he replied that,their beauty could be enjoyed without associating withthem. Ergo there was still no reason for seeking theircompany. Ergo, he would not do it. These aresimply illustrations, and have no further connectionwith what happenedon a certain night in June, 1896. It was very warm, and Immanuel K. Robinson, whohad gone to bed in his room in Graduate Hall, laylistening to the light brushing of the drapery againstthe window-sill, as the breeze entering at the openwindow swung it back and forth.' He was unable tosleep. He said to himself :"I can't sleep; therefore I'm wasting time. Isn'tthere something that I can do instead of lying here?"Then he remembered that he needed the treatmentvulgarly known as "a shave." He rose, lit the gas,made the necessary preparations, stationed himselfbefore the shaving glass which hung near the window, and was holding the saturated brush poised inthe air, when he heard a noise without. It was thehollow, metallic report of the closing mail box, in towhich someone had evidently just dropped a letter.Mr. Robinson was reminded of an important letter"Then why are you going?""I am forced by duty, necessity and public opinion,"replied the social editor, and putting on his hat, hesadly departed.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.. 'Oh," said the questioner, "a sessionof a class, forinstance?' ,"A class varies in size, to be sure," mused the editor.'. 'In fact, that's all some classes do-vary in size. Butno," he answered; "that isn't a reception.' In a reception the members of the mob all talk at once.", 'Are receptions held at the Board of Trade ?" askedthe other, innocently."Look here," said the editor, with a trace of impatience, perceiving th at they were progressing but slowly;"a person or a small collection of persons invites alarger number of other persons to come to a certainplace at a certain time. The other persons come at thesaid time. to the said place, and there yc;m have the conditions I have mentioned.""What distinguishes a reception, then, from a political meeting?""The purpose," answered the editor. "T'he distiuctivcpurpose of a reception is that the participants may talk.""Can't they achieve their purpose in a more convenient way?", 'No; . for they wish to talk to as many of their friendsas possible, and through a reception they are enabledto find more of them in one place at one time than byany other means.""I do not understand," he said, after a brief consideration. "How is it arranged so that a given manmeets many of his friends?""That end is effected by inviting to receptions everyone in creation," answered the social editor, thinkingthat a general statement of the vast majority of caseswas sufficient for the present purpose. ."One thing more," said the Martian. "You saythese remarkable conditions are the result of individualinitiative. What determines the initiative?""One of three things," was the reply: "Pure kindness and altruism; stern, unrelenting necessity; or public opinion.""And as you have said, the motive for going is thedesire to converse with more of one's friends than onewould otherwise meet. Now tell me just how one ofthese phenomena occurs."'''I am now going to a reception," said' the editor,adjusting his cuffs, with a melancholy air. "T'he motive of the initiative in this case is necessity and deference to public opinion. I shall go to the appointed place.There will' be five or six people standing apart in one ofthe rooms. 'With these I shall shake hands, one at atime. This is simply a formality of forgotten derivation, which, though it has not yet been dispensed with,has no essential connection with the reception. NextI meet a friend. We talk to each other a few minutesand then separate. I meet another. The same processis repeated. and so the end ofthe reception is achieved. ""Do you enjoy that?" he asked."No." We shall probably have some interesting news regarding Rush College in the near future. It has justreceived donations sufficient to pay all its debts,amounting to $7 I ,000. This fills the most important '.of the conditions upon which Rush is to be' affiliatedwih the U ni versi ty . ..J)..J)..J).The Voice, the organof the Prohibition party, whichhas stirred up a great deal of excitement during thepast year by its articles on intemperance at Yale andespecially at Princeton, published last week the result. of an investigation which one of its reporters had forsome time been quietly making at the University �fChicago. It gives us a four-column leader, in whichit unqualifiedly praises us for �he exemplary conditionof morals which prevails at our University. It praisesthe attitude of the University authorities in their careful guarding of the students; praises the students as,with very few exceptions, irreproachable in respect todrinking, and praises the faculty as conscientious practicers and strong advocates of temperance. It regardsour University as foremost among all American colleges in the height of its moral standard..J)..J)..J).Apropos of the above, we quote the following fromthe University of Nebraska Hesperian: .Out at Leland Stanford, Jr., University the faculty hastaken hold of the animal by both horns. Forty-one nameshave been dropped from the roll, chiefly on account of poorwork; but a number of students were sent home to theirmammas because they were in need of the parental rod, orsomething of the sort. Four were dropped because of toohilarious conduct after the Thanksgiving football game-toput it mildly. If the star of progress rises in the .west andkeeps on singing on its way, perhaps it may shed a sort ofmoonlight radiance on the University of Nebraska someday' and encourage brave hearts to action. And what alucid sunset it will have if it reaches ancient Yale..J)..J)..J).Last Frlday noon the students of the Universityheard the expressions of the faculty on the pendingCuban crisis. The chapel in Cobb was crowded, andwithout doubt the meeting was pre-eminently themost enthusiastic of any mass meeting ever held onthe campus.W. C. Kern was. chosed chairman of the meeting,and the following men spoke: Dean Judson, Prof.Michaelson, Major Rust, President. McLean of Nebraska State University, and Dr. Harper.

He favoredintercepting the Spanish torpedo flotilla, and, if possible, sinking it. He declared it criminal negligence onthe part of the government to allow it to approach ourshores. Prof. Michaelson found many sympathizersamong his auditors.A committee, consisting of »: F. McCaleb, J. F.Hagey, F. L. White, W. H. Allen and H. P. Willis,"vas appointed to draw up resolutions. Their reportwas adopted at a small but stormy meetirig on Satur-day. It was as follows: .We, the students of the Universitv of .Chicago, wish toput ourselves on record as accepting the following propositions:1. Meetings of rhe present oharactar are just ifiable onlywhen their purpose is to oppose ill considered and hastyaction, or to support a policy based upon full and completeknowledge of the situation.2 ..

STUDENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO.The convocation address deserves a division byitself, and so, even if the printer should happen not topu tit in the orderless mass of the "Notebook," nextto the account of the other details of the convocation,so much the better. The subject was' 'Poetry andScience; Their Affinities and Contrasts." This sub-.ject, extremely interesting in a college where 'literature and science are so strongly. represented as here,was treated in content and style in a manner worthyof the scholarship of the great Scotchman. Thoughthe speaker's voice was not loud, he spoke with prepossessing energy and directness. The very swing ofhis gait as he walked to the desk commanded instantinterest. Although, as he announced at the beginning, he did 110t treat the subject as a partisan ofeither poetry or science, yet it was so apparent whichside" he was ill reality for, and how well he couldchampion that side if he chose, that the very persona.lit.y of the man made the address seem partisan. -Hismanner is charactc.rizcd by the scholar's complete self-abandonment to his subject; and before he speaksthree words you discover that his speech is strikinglyrich in the peculiar but attractive music of the Britishaccent,Dr. Knight has been lecturing in the chapel on thefirst three nights of this week on the following subjects successively: "Tennyson,'" 'The Functions ofPhilosophy" and "Platonism," and this afternoonlectures on Wordsworth..:J.$$Memoranda.Dr. Frank Russell Opitz has been called to New York asassistant surgeon in the service of the government.Mr. Walker, formerly instructor here in Latin, and nowprofessor in the University of Kangas, visited the Universityduring the vacation.Prof. J.

Three good practice games were played by the'Varsity against high schools. The weather was toowintry to permit very good work by the men, but thecandidates made a very good. showing. In the lastgame which was played against Hyde Park the 'Varsity only scored 11, but it was due to the freshness ofthe air, which stiffened all the batting muscles.Captain Sawyer says the work has proven entirelysatisfactory, and feels confident of a winning team.Few of the candid�tes are of the starring order, butall work hard and play with energy and determination. The batting against the high 'schools was good,some of the new men doing unusually fast work.Captain Sawyer, Herschberger, Merrifield and McIlreseem to lead, with others not far behind. Stagg isworking the men up to the limit. He sends his longdrop flies to the outfield in such rapid succession thatno time is given to a fielder to get breath. The infielders are' 'run hard" all over the diamond and willbe able to do team work to perfection.Just what our pitchers will do is an open question.Merrifield showed up well against the high schools,. but has hardly the speed for a college pitcher. Smithseems to have lots of speed, but his showing againstthe high schools was not entirely successful. Coming'Irorn Texas he is probably a warm-weather man .. Gordon Clarke has been east, so was not in the games.It is to be hoped that he can uphold the record of hisfamily, and make himself a first-class 'varsity pitcher.Our other rivals of the west do not possess greatpitchers this year. In fact ill all of the western universities a lot of new men are being developed. Soour chances for a championship team are just as brightas ever, ill spite of the fact that we have lost the best pitchers of the west. We have learned what ourteams with young materia:l could do in other lines ofathletics, and we need have no fear of the new material on the baseball field.The first league game of the year will be playedApril 16 with Beloit. Beloit has good chances for astrong team, so Coach Stagg and Captain Sawyer aredoing their best to get our team in shape by that date.The team will not be definitely chosen before thatdate, and until that time all the men yet retained inthe training squad will be given an equal show. Thefollowing men are living in training quarters: Sawyer, Herschberger, Kennedy, Merrifield, Clarke, MeEbree, Smith, Leighton, Southard. Ver'non, Allen,Wriedt and Galt are still in training but are not inthe training quarters.The R.elay Team.At the regular monthly meeting of the AthleticBoard, the invitation of the University of Pennsylvaniato Chicago to be a contestant in their annual relayraces was unanimously accepted. These races will takeplace in Philadelphia on April 30.Director Stagg showed great wisdom and foresightin entering his team in the race with Cornell, Columbia, Lehigh and Lafayette, instead of the Americanchampionship against Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Pennsylvania, and Michi.gan. It would be animpossibilityto take better than third place in the championship.while chances are much in our favor to win the lattercontest.Chicago must make a good showing, and to do thisit is necessary that every man in school, who has theability, should get out and try for the team. Whiteand Fair are sure of places, but there are yet twoplaces to fill and possibly a substitute will be taken incase of emergency. The most likely candidates for thevacancies are Webb, Barton, Smith; Andrews, Hammill and Maloney.It should make no difference to a candidate for theteam if he should happen to be beaten by another man.He is making the other man run just a little faster,and if this process is repeated a few times, it will bereadily seen that the man who finally gets the placewill have been thoroughly tried out and his ability andreliability established. It is competition that wewant for the team, and let every man put his shoulderto the wheel in this case and help turn out a winningteam.266 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY�UNIVERSITY OF GHICAGO WEEKLY.EDITORIAL BOARD.EDWIN CAMPBELL WOOLLEY, '98, - Managing Editor.THOMAS B.

No. 25.The disparaging criticism of some professors that they are high school teachers is as familiar at our University asthe hourly roll- of the electric bell ordaily visit of the Standard oil wagon inthe winter time. We rise to vindicate the gentlemen.A high school teacher, so called, is presumably oneWhat is aHigh School. Teacher?who spends the hour in asking such questions as, "Mr.J ones, what is the construction atavis f What part ofspeech isjztbetl Miss Brown, explain the meaning ofuicissim,' and compelling the student to repeat andrepeat again what he has been told in the recent past.IiI other words, he is one, not who informs us abouthis subject, but who teaches us how to learn-s-whoseaim is to train our minds in the useful art of graspinga thing or a system at will, with as much ease' andcertainty and as little faltering as we display in takinga thing in our hands when we want to. Such men arelooked on askance by college students, and the namehigh school teachers applied to them would seem toimply the notion that the college is the wrong field ofendeavor for such as they. This is what we dispute.If you say that professors who use the methodsmentioned have 110 business in a college, you assumethat college students have already learned how tolearn, and so need no more training in that accom- p1ishment. This is a ridiculous assumption. Threefourths of the c<;>llege students when they enter arestill several years' journey from the stage where theyneed no longer learn to learn, and can' just learn. Anappalling number· of. them never reaches the latterstage, and it is amazing how long it takes for manyto reach it: At least a third ,of the students in theirfourth year are still in, the same stage of educationaldevelopment (only farther along in it) as. when theywere school boys, with"--shining morning face, creeping like snailUnwillingly to school."We defend the high. school professor, then, becausesince there is undeniably such a vast army of infantsin college, he is a necessity. He isn't the best sort of. instructor for one who can handle his mental tools,and if such a student has to take his courses it may bea hardship; but we, won't '. hear a word against theprofessor ..Our faculty is thus divided into thoseTwo Lines whose office is to educate the mind andof those whose office it is to give somethingCleavage. to their students, assuming that their ap-prentice work is all finished. In thislatter class are most of the professors of the graduateschool,' such as Dr. von Holst and Dr. Albion W.Small.Now, at right angles to the line which divides thefaculty into these two groups is another line of division.This line is drawn with reference to the professor'sdisposition toward his students. On one side of itare those who, either by friendship or by some othermeans, give tangible evidence that they regard thestudents as real live people. On Hie other, a�'e thosewho, like impregnable castles of ice on inaccessible''hills, sit around in inscrutable and invulnerable formality, and Irom somewhere in the interior. of whom,voices issue for the information of the youth. Which. class is the larger, and how do we compare with othercolleges in the relative sizes of the two, are interestingquestions.. Meanwhile we may remark that a professorof the approach1ess kind is valuable for the amount ofinformation he can give you. One who shows a kindheart, laughs once in a while, sometimes gets mad, orgood-naturedly guys the students, is valuable' as an)'man of character, no matter what he does professionally, is valuable.UNNERSITY OF' CHICAGO WEEKLY.The Monroe Apartments.The large Monroe building, on Monroe avenue near Fiftyfifth street, formerly owned by John D. Rockefeller, hasbeen purchased by the Fidelity Construction Company, andis being fitted up with all modern improvements asa firstclass apartment house.

Although they havetaken considerable and necessary liberty with the details ofthese three stories the principal characters 'are true to life,and the Whole is blended into a humorous and pathetic play. The plot relates the love story of Flora Campbell and LordHay and Kate Carnegie and Rev. John Carmichael, theirhappy termination proving the truth that "love knowsneither rank nor creeds." Act I shows the home of MargaretHowe. All the characters are introduced as they pass alongthe road leading to the Glen. Herein begin the two lovestories and t.he act ends with Lachlan Campbel l's discoveryof his daughter's love for Hay. Act II which takes place inthe interior of Lachlan Campbell's cottage, leads to Flora'sdespairing flight, for Loudon and her father's heart.brokendenunciation as he blots her name out of the family bible.The opening scene of the third act relates the discovery ofF'lora in London with Lord Hay and Dr. Maclure. Thesecond scene shows Flora's return sick almost unto death.The final curtain descends upon the scene of united loveand reconciliation. Messrs Frank L. Perley and Fred M.Ranken have secured for tbe leading roles Mr. J. H. Stoddart and Miss Marie Burroughs. Mr. Stoddart bas never illhis long stage career acb ieved a finer triumph tban ill bismaster-ly impersona! ion of the grim old Covenanter, LaohlanCampbell. His success has been duplicated hy Miss MadeBurroughs in the part of Kate Carnegie.
