CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, APRIL 14, 1898. VOL. VI, No. 26.A GOLDEN QUEST.The weekly mail had brought a letter from CaptainAlston, Helen Maria's latest lover, announcing hisintention of spending the following Sunday under outroof. Ordinarily this intimation would have occasionedgeneral hilariousness, for Captain Alston, by the judicious use of French candy and light literature, hadcaptivated Helen Maria's entire family, but now ithad called forth something very like consternation.Even Helen Maria, whose spirits could generally bedepended upon to effervesce even at funerals, founddifficulty in rallying. The same dreadful thought hadelongated each rueful countenance. Our entirestockof cows but one had been lost for days somewhere inthe barrens, so that there would be no butter uponwhich to regale Captain Alston. As our nearestgrocery store was exactly twenty miles distant, andour neighbors' cows most probably truant like ourown, you can understand that we were helpless.Aunt Venus, as usual, took an optimistic view."Lor', honey," she said, "'tain't no use worryin'.Cryin' ain't never gwine bring dem sassy cows home.'Sides, if de cap'n lub Miss Helen Maria like she sayhe do, he ain't gwine keer nuffin' 'bout butter nohow.When a_" gemman's in lub he don' study none 'boutvittels, chile. Yo' jes' set him whar he can see demblack eyes a shinin' "an' yo' can gin him green persimmons." Father thought we had better not build toostrongly on this theory, and Helen Maria affirmed,with tears, that it would mortify her to death pot tobe able to offer Captain Alston butter; besides, without that article it would be impossible to make eithercake or pudding.Snowball, who had been stationed astride the gatepost to interrogate passers-by concerning their buttersupply, came rushing in to inform us that' 'dat manhain't got no butter hisself, but 'lows yo' can git awhole passel of it from Sylviny Ledbetter." "Praisethe Lord!" ejaculated Helen Maria, jumping up andbeginning to polka, thereby jolting from her cheeks ashower of tears which splashed downwards."Laws a massy!" snickered Snowball, whom thebiggest tear had hit in the face, "Miss Helen Maria sho' is a case." Helen Maria seized me by the wristsand pulled me wildly around her. "Ann Virginia,"she said, jerking out the words, "you and I are goingto Sylviny's at once and ransack every crock in herold spring-house." Mother shook her head doubtfully. "Isn't the creek up?" she asked. "Ofcourse," said Helen Maria, becoming suddenly limpagain. � 'It always is when you want to cross it."Father, who in his well days had swam innumerablestreams, and crossed bridges with the planks floatingoff, looked disgusted. "Confound it," he began, "ifyou girls are afraid of a creek the size of that one-' ,Helen Maria stood up proudly. "Sir," .she said, "Iam not afraid of any creek in Christendom. Ann Virginia, go get your bonnet." I obeyed, hypocriticallysilent, for I was far from sharing those sentiments.Two 0' clock saw us driving down the lane, followedby a parting shower of injunctions about the ford. Byway of whip we were provided with a long, green sapling, which Helen Maria plied gracefully" but on thewhole uselessly. Recent rains had converted the roadsinto a continuous slough, consequently our rate wasnot a rapid one. Our wheels, clogged solidly withstiff clay, could scarcely be turned, and we progressedwith a sort of intermittent motion, pausing while thehorse extricated his feet from the mire with loud,sucking noises.Just beyond the graveyard we met a tow-headed,solemn-faced boy astraddle a plump mealsack on amelancholy mule. He seemed to think our presencein that lonely spot required some explanation. "Wharbe you'ns a goin' ," he demanded. We told him.. "The creek's up," he said solemnly. "Hit's powerfulhigh," he went on, determined to impress us. "Youcan't see the foot-log nor nuthin.' Ef you'ns gits inthe baptizin' hole you'll git drownded sho'." "Ihaven't the slightest desire to see the foot-log," saidHelen Maria, with levity. "And we are not Baptists,so we certainly shall not explore the baptizing hole.' ,His freckled face got very red. "You'ns think youare some, don't you?" he sneered, giving the mulea vicious kick in the ribs. Presently he called after270 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.us. "Sylviny's got a bitin' dog," he shouted ma- the "bitin' " dog howled. Helen:; Maria still kept aliciously. "That boy ought to be brought up to drive firm grip on the reins and sapling, and 1 had beguna hearse," said Helen' Maria, shaking herself as if my prayers for the tenth time, when a man on horsetrying to dislodge an impression.

ALVES LONG.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.THE NOTE = BOOK.Last week appeared what, if we are not mistaken,was the second volume of poems (M. Poyen's beingthe first) which a member or members of the University have produced. This was the book which theMulberry club has been for half a year promising thepublic. It is such a book as is rarely published amongall the scientific and scholarly works which go outfrom the University; namely, a pure work of art.The Mulberry club, from the existence of which thebook originated, has a position in the University corresponding to the character of the book, for it is theonly club whose object is purely artistic. A note inthe book explains the character of the club as follows:"The Mulberry club is a group of verse-makers,nearly all of whom are students in the University ofChicago. When of a Saturday morning the spiritmoves thereto, those that will, repair to the north sideof Pinetree Isthmus, an idyllic spot in Arcady, whichborders on Bohemia, but is farthest from Philistia.Here no emporium chimney can be seen-the pinestake care of that-the water is blue to north and tosouth, the forest is thick to east and to west. The rulesof the club are few but inexorable; I. The club shallmeet not regularly, but occasionally. 2. Each member shall read to the others his latest verses, and readthem twice without reprieve. 3. The SacrosanctumYpocras Theologicum Mori shall be quaffed."Such was the origin of the volume of poetry entitled: "The Mulberry Club Book." It is a book ofgreat value, as a memorial of the most prominentwriters of our time in the University. This will -beseen from the list of contributors, which is as follows:Anna T. Beardsley, Celinda D. Bishopric, MaryBowen, Agnes Spofford Cook, Martha Foote Crow,Effie A. Gardner, Arthur Sears Henning, Arthur Willis Leonard, Frederick Brooks Lindsay, James WeberLinn, George L. Marsh, Catherine Dix Paddock,Elizabeth Porter, Alice Edwards Pratt, Vernon P.Squires, Florence M. Walker, Ida Ahlborn Weeks,Leroy Titus Weeks, Florence Wilkinson, and EdwinC. Woolley.As to the poems, one sees at a glance that the authorsare no children in the technique of the art of versemaking. Every poem shows that the writer had aperfectly sure hand. But no one can read the bookand not be impressed with the lack of light and life.N early all the muses seem to be, as one of the peomssays,"'Mid academic straightness set."They are, even when they sing of light subjects, extremely grave. This is sometimes a fault, 111 which cases the poems are academic; but in some of the poems, as '�Timeand Eternity," "In Memoriam," and"To Omar Khayyam," this seriousness amounts toimpressive beauty. In any case, that the tone of thebook should be so grave is highly consistent with theenvironment of the poets, for unquestionably the Chicago muse is a "cloistered muse," and the only escapefrom her strIct sway seems to be to desert to the goddess of nonsense, as two contributors to the' 'MulberryBook" have-done.The volume is a master-piece of beautiful. printingand binding, and would be worth having for that alone.The cover is dark green, and it is printed on Strathmore deckle edge paper, with Satanick type and J ensen initials. In the front is an engraving of the Mulberry club's loving cup, the magicum caiiculurn, madeof the wood from Shakespeare's mulberry tree, with. the inscription: "112 memoriam nostri socii guiliebnimellifluentis et omnium Poetarum." In the back is apicture of Shakespeare's seal ring. The book wasprinted privately at the Wind-tryst press in Chicago,for the members of the club and their friends. A fewcopies are on sale: at the Press, at McClurg's and atBrentano's.Another book of interest to the University, but oneof a scientific rather than artistic' value, and one theusefulness and interest of which will not be confinedto the University, has come this week from Calahan &Co. It is a collection of supreme court ca��S: prepared for use as a text book in constitutional law byCarl Evans Boyd, Ph. D. Such a book has long beenneeded; classes in constitutional law have hithertobeen inadequately supplied with means of studying themost important source of that law, since it is manifestly impracticable to refer a whole class to the Reports from day to day, and since the only collection ofcases (that of Thayer) has been too large and expensive for each member of a class to invest in it. Thenew collection contains only such cases as the normalclass needs refer to in a normal counse, is in one con�·venient volume of a little � more than half the size ofone volume of Thayer's' 'Cases," and is nine dollarsfarther removed than the latter collection from the limitof the student's resources. It is thus a book of greatusefulness, and will without doubt exercise that usefulness in a wide field. Dr. Boyd took his degree atthe convocation of last fall, and upon him was conferred the first doctorate given by our political science271272 UNNERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.department. Previous to that he held a fellowship inthat department. He is now in the University Extension.Yale is to be congratulated upon the acquisition ofthe following valuable specimens which, the Yale Eecord informs us, have been presented to the PeabodyMuseum by "an unknown friend:"A wag from the "Tale of Two Cities," some waterfrom "All's well," the rollers from the "shades ofevening," a drink from a "sand-bar," a rocker fromthe "cradle of the deep," a free lunch from the Sandwich Islands.The practical work of the military department willbe undertaken as soon as a sufficient number of students offer themselves for instruction. The smallestunit for successful work is the company, and the company should contain at least forty men. Two or morecompanies constitute a battalion, and the Universitymilitary organization should become a battalion assoon as practicable. The military department willwork in harmony with the board off physical culture,and credit for military work will be equivalent tophysical culture credits. All students who have finished two quarters of physical culture may elect military drill as an equivalent for their unfinished workin physical culture. If - any student desires to enterthe military department before the completion of twoquarters' physical culture, he may take the militarycourse in addition to the course in physical culture.The above rules apply to those students for whomeither military instruction or physical culture is a required course. Students who have finished the required course in physical culture may enter the military department, but no basis of University credit fortheir military work has as yet been decided upon.The Professor of Military Science and Tactics isauthorized by the War Department to report eachyear the names of the three students most distinguished in the work of the military department to theSecretary of War. These three_ names are recordedin the War Department as eligible to appointment assecond lieutenants in the regular army, and are published in the annual register of the army.The course of instruction will begin with the organization of the company and battalion of infantry, butartillery and cavalry instruction maybe 'Offered in duetime if a sufficient number of students are enrolled.The government will also furnish ammunition and other material for target practice with the infantryrifle.Students who enter the military department at thetime of its 'Organization will not only contribute mostsubstantially to its success in the University, but willalso derive the maximum personal benefit from thecourse.The Chicago Alumni Club, organized a few weeksago, has opened headquarters in the Ashland block,corner of Randolph and Clark streets. This new organization, as was stated before in these columns, isnot in the least antagonistic to the alumni associationof the old University. Many of the old alumni aremembers of the new organization, of which Mr. PhilAllen is president. The purpose of the club is toafford headquarters w here Chicago men can congregate and discuss problems which will better the interests of the undergraduate body. Membership is opento all male graduates and former students of the University.The following communication explains our frontispiece:In presenting a new arrangement of the. Alma)11ater to the University there is need perhaps for a. word of explanation. While the Glee Club and men'ssocieties have often sung the Alma Mater with goodeffect, it has not yet been successfully sung by amixed audience, nor can it be done from music written for male voices. It is unfortunate that a meritorious song, although borrowed, should have sufferedso long from the want of an arrangement that all couldsing. It would be desirable, of course, to have anAlma Mater composed by a member of the University;but until a satisfactory piece is thus produced we cansustain our infancy on adopted material.There is an important difference between a malevoice and a mixed voice arrangement of four-partsongs. The voices in a male chorus are of nearlyequal range, and the chord is generally w�itten in itsclosed form; that is, within the compass of an octaveor an octave and a half. When this chqrd is sung bymixed voices, the two upper notes being taken bywomen, an inte_rval of more than an octave occurs between the second and third notes of the chord, byreason of the higher range of the female voice. Thisproduces an effect of unnatural highness in the sopranos and altos, and of corresponding lowness in thetenors and bassos. In rearranging the chord formixed voices the parts are so interchanged as to avoidUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.so great an interval. This is what has been done inthe present arrangement of the Alma Maler.The plate here produced is intended for the 'use of .anyone in the University in getting up programs, etc.,and the sooner it is worn out the sooner will a newplate be supplied. PAUL MANDEVILLE.It will be remembered that in February two newhouses were organized, whose object was to afford acongenial grouping for undergraduate men who werenot members of other houses; and especially for thosewho, living at a distance from the University, hadno permanent quarters on or near the campus. Thesegroupings, known as the Lincoln House and theWashington House, are organized under constitutionssimilar to those of the other houses. Membership isby election. These houses are already beginning tobe in evidence at the University, and their membership to be as distinctively known as that of the various fraternities. They have already begun to formnew circles in the campus society, just as each fraternity forms its more or less peculiar circle. Theyhave the advantage over the fraternities that theirheadquarters are nearer the college than those of thefraternities. Each house has its pleasant, cushionedand carpeted clubroom in Botany.The members of the Lincoln House are: Prof. Geo.E. Vincent, head; F. H. Gese1bracht, vice-head; andMessrs. Bushnell, H. S. Davidson, Hill, Mogg, Robinson, F. R. White, Gillespie, Stowell, Giles, Hack,Ritchey, Walker, Pringle, McCaskill.Those of the Washington House are: Prof. E. E.Sparks, head; H. E. P. Thomas, vice-head; andMessrs. Thomas, Wildman, Leighton, Irons, Phillips,Scrogin, L. D. Freeman, Beston, Palmquist, Taylor.On Monday night a mock congress was held inKent Theater. The plan originated with some of thefrequenters of the third floor of Cobb who are interested in debating. A preliminary meeting was heldon Monday noon, which about twenty-five attended.There a committee was appointed, consisting ofMessrs. Allen, Willis, McCaleb, Meade, Hubbard andRowland Rogers, to arrange the meeting of the c�ngress. There were about 200 people a� the meetl�gin the evening. Mr. H. G. Lozier occupied the C��Ir.The supposition was that the body represented a J01l1tsession of congress, that the president's message hadbeen received, and that it had. been referred to theforeign affairs committee-which one was left to the 273imagination. Proceedings then opened with the report of that committee, from which debate was expected to arise. Very little did, however. Mostlyowing to the lack of notice of the meeting, the debatewas, as a highly conservative member remarked, afizzle. A few tolerable speeches were made by Messrs..Linn, Willis, Meade, Meigs, McCaleb, Murphy andLennes,The following communication has been received regarding the mock congress:The doings in Kent Theater on Monday eveningshowed once more the ignorance and crudeness of thestudent body with reference to procedure in a deliberative assembly. Two things were strikingly manifest-an astonishing ignorance of the common principles of parliamentary law and an absurd proneness tofrivolity. It might have been hoped that the wellspoken words of Mr. Linn would bring some men totheir senses and enable them to realize the dignity ofthe occasion, but they appeared to fall on unappreciative ears. Someone has said that it is natural fora gathering of Americans to organize themselves intoa deliberative assembly. If that is so, this was certainly an unnatural gathering of young Americans.The worst of it is that this was not an exceptionalcase. It is generally so when such a meeting is held.It is, of course, well known that more attention isgiven to these matters in the smaller colleges than inthe larger, but one would suppose that any boy entering junior college would have more knowledge ofthem than is sometimes displayed by senior collegemen, and even by graduate students. The writer hasnot attended a meeting of any of the literary societiesin the University, and does not venture to criticisewhat they are doing; but he would like to suggestthat there is crying need of the work of such societiesamong the students at large. There are, or at anyrate in his memory there have been, bodies of highschool pupils that could give information and counselto students in the University as to how business isproperly conducted in a deliberative assembly, and asto the dignity and seriousness that should character-ize their deliberations.

In fielding, the work of the team was fast forthe outfield and rather slow for the infield. Every infield man made an error, so there needs to be an improvement there. Leighton behind the bat made agood backstop, but threw very poorly to second. Inthe early part of the game McIlre was injured, so hisfielding and batting were lost to the team.With Gardner and McIlre and some hitting outfielder-for Southard is a very poor batter-in thegame, our team is bound to make a very good showing in the league.Following is the score ofChicago.

The diamond, located in what is ordinarilycenter field, was a poor excuse for one. The day waschilly and the opposing team was made up of experienced players, but our team made but five errors,knocked out eight hits, many of them' 'sizzlers," andallowed but one hit to be made by the enemy. Allour young pitchers were tried, and they made an excellent showing .. In several innings the bases werefilled by the visitors without their scoring.Baseball fans know that the crucial test of a team'squality is whether it can hold together with the basesfull. On Saturday our team showed its coolness bysuccessfully standing that test. Our team hit Sickleseasily for singles and doubles and filled the bases,which were cleared by Merrifield and "Herschie."Our box work was very clever. Merrifield was wildbut kept himself in control when the bases were filled.With his cleverness and curve, if he only had morespeed he would be a power in the box. Smith hasmore speed but not so much head. Clarke has morecurve and greater speed than either of the other two,but is not in first-class condition. Leighton remarked,"He's mighty hard to hold compared with the other.two." His form, which at present is rather poor, hecan better by training.The pleasing feature of the whole game was thevim with which 'the team batted.

Does anyonesuppose that one man-let him be Yale's most famousathlete-can meet all the requirements of manager,trainer, and even captain of the various athletic teamsof the spring? If there be such an imaginative being,could his imagination lead him further to believe thatwith all these duties such a Julius Ca-sar of athleticsas he contemplates also has the time and energy togive sufficient attention to the athletics of the studentbody as a whole? We have no second baseball team.We have no junior nor senior college baseball teams.Why haven't we? The president desires them, thestudents desire them, and everyone, even Mr. Stagg,knows they would be a good thing for the University.But not one move has Mr. Stagg been able to make tohave these teams organized. Why? Because his energy is all consumed in the performance of his otherduties.The director of athletics should certainly be bothsomething less and something more than he is at present. His position should be less that of a mere hackworker and more that of a director. His interest est is a good thing; and, moreover, there are alwaysplenty of people who do not participate in present collegiate affairs, and who may get a chance to fall in ifa new company is formed. However, "it is of no consequence"; we are simply remarking.

Our chapel and Kent theater have become forums for public disputation upon the nationalquestion. We have sent a message to Mr. McKinleytelling him to cheer up, for we will stand by him. Theprevailing sentiment of the University has been enthusiastically exhibited at convocation. Our facultyhas contributed some of its skill and wisdom to thewar department.
