I have been asked to write for the ThanksgivingNumber of THE WEEKLY an experience of my own,which has in some way become known to the editor,and which he does me the honor to think may perhapsbe of interest to such as, in turning the pages of thepaper, pause here. I am the more ready to complywith his request because, although the story hasapparently reached one of you, I fancy that to most ofthe members of the University the thing I am going totell is altogether unknown. Not only did it happen anumber of years ago, and in a locality as remote fromthis as well may be; but also, at that time, I waspassing under a name other than the one I am bestknown by now. My reasons for changing my namewere entirely personal, and can therefore in no wayconcern the readers of THE WEEKLY; suffice it to saythat they were not discreditable ones. I was at that time, then,. pursuing the regularcourse of study laid down for the members of a collegewhich I may be allowed to call Andexter; for thoughit is a small college, it is both so situated, being withinthat circle of intellectual light radiated out for a shortdistance by the literary and social luminaries ofBoston, and is also so fortunate as to possess, thoughnot a large, yet what may be termed almost anillustrious, alumni body, that even to those who readthis short sketch it is probably well-known. In thiscourse of study I had glme as far as the beginning ofmy Junior year, if not with distinction, at least withsome credit to myself; and I knew that I was 110t un­known 1:> the faculty any more than to the students ofAndexter.But it will be necessary to go back a little.I had entered college from a small town in NewUNNERSITY. OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Hampshire. III this town our family, the Merediths­for obvious reasons I give my present name ratherthan my former one-had resided for fully a hundredand twenty years. From it the original Meredith ofour branch, tossing his rifle to his shoulder, had goneout in the time of the Revolution. His worn old un i­form hangs now in a wardrobe in the ,. best room" ofthe house; there is a bullet hole in the breast. Fromthis town his grandson had followed Scott to Mexico, andhis great-grandson Doubleday forward across the fieldsof Bull Ruu. I come of a family of fighters, and Iknew the history of their exploits by heart.With me, or better, at the same time with me, hadgone to college one Francis Hall, whose ancestors, likemine. had dwelt for more than a century in Bolton.His twice-great-grandfather had been that unpopular,hardly-to-be-understood creature, a Tory, in NewHampshire; his father had been' a Democrat and afollower of McClellan. On all important questions hisfamily and mine had, as if instinctively, arrayed them­selves on opposite sides; and between him and me,although in so small a town we were naturally thrownmuch together, the same spirit of difference existed.Indeed, I may go so far as to say that, though inspite of frequent open ruptures we usually maintainedthe appearance of friendship, he hated me as cordiallyas I despised him. By some strange reversal of custom,however, we had decided on the same college, andthither on the same day we went.I must do young Hall the justice to say that he wasa handsome fellow. He was tall and broad-shouldered;he possessed that strangely attractive combination,black hair and blue eyes, and his coldly classical. pro­file suited well with the air of haughtiness that washabitual with him. As for me, I was much as I amnow: for those who know me no further descriptionwill be needed, and it is for an audience of such that Iam wrrtmg. Both of us were apparently known beforeour arrival, for we were met at the station by twoyoung gentlemen who made themselves most agree­able, escorted us to the rooms which had been selectedfor us, stood by while we removed the dust of travel,led us away with hearty good fellowship to lunch, ancIthen and there pledged us to the particular fraternityto which they belonged. I may say, parenthetically,that although the decision I made on that day wasmade hastily, it is one which 1 have never for ani nstant -regretted.And yet there was a certain oddness to me even thenin becoming, as it were, allied with Hall on any point.The spirit of contention had been so inbred in us, thathad either of us stopped to consider the matter wewould, I think, rather than be compelled to pulltogether, have refused to pull at all. But that momentof thought came to neither of us till afterwards, and to our surprise we found ourselves, who had so long beenface to face, shoulder to shoulder instead. However,there we were, and circumstances seemed to combineto force us into still closer intimacy. Even in thosedays, which are, after all, scarcely so far away as theyperhaps seem to me, Audexter was well-known for herfootball team. On this team both Hall and I sought aposition, and each of us was fortunate enough toobtain one. Naturally the necessity for constantpropinquity was increased by this; but it only servedto deepen the feeling of antagonism that was hereditaryin both of us.It is, I believe, scarcely necessary for me to say thatAndexter has never been what is called a co-educa­tional college. "Iron and silver," thundered old Dr.Halberton on one occasion to an advocate of co-educa­tionalism," ., Iron and silver, sir, were never yet fusedwith good results to either." But although we weretherefore debarred from the hourly companionship ofyoung women, w� were by no means without theirsociety altogether. Not far frOID us was a women'scollege, celebrated for the attractiveness alike of itsgrounds and of its students; not far from us wasBoston itself; close at hand were the belles of Andex­ter, scarcely to be despised. We knew them all; weappraised their merits among ourselves, and-sapien tyoung Parises! solemnly awarded countless apples toinnumerable candidates. Thus, and in athletics, andin study, passed my first two years.At the beginning of my third, or Junior, year I hadso far outgrown my boyish habits of mind that I nolonger either affected to despise women or spoke ofthem constantly in the terms of a connoiseur. Ithought of them indeed, but ordinarily I refrained fromdiscussing theru. When I was attracted into a con­versation I was conscious of an uneasiness as the chatveered toward or away from a certain damsel who wasknown to most of us, and when the wind of gossipactually blew directly toward her, found myself in vainendeavoring to preserve an affectation of unconscious­ness. It was useless; let the talk vibrate to thatstring, and my heart throbbed in unison. I was, infact, in love, and so incapable of concealment thatbefore I knew it myself my secret was the property ofthe whole college. The lady was a Miss Ruth Wals­ingham, a black-haired little beauty, the daughter ofone of the university professors. Her attractions hadin them more of the Psyche than the Juno, and, I sup­pose, than the Minerva. That, however, I failed atthe time to notice. Ruth Walsingham! I give herreal name because it can bring her no possible embar­rassment now, and because I love to dwell on it. Herhair had threads of auburn in it, I remember, thatsparkled in certain lights into a changing gold. Yearsago; but in the flicker of the fire I find that I canoccasionally see that sparkle now. 0"UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Well, I loved her; I am not ashamed of it. That,in the hard work of the football season, I had lesstime than I wished to see her, you can easily imaginemade me none the less eager for her society. Suchhours as I could snatch from the grip of necessity Ispent with her, and in my dreams, over which thecaptain of the team had no control, I was with herconstantly. The captain, Spartan soul, dreamed onlyof tackling, and of new ways to circumvent the crafti­ness of Exford our great rival. He had no sympathywith what he openly termed my nonsense.The season sped along more successfully than usual,and in spite of my pre-occupation I had done well.My place at full-back offered exceptional opportunityfor sensational display, and I was fortunate enough,on at least one occasion, to save the eleven from defeatby a rather well-executed tackle of a man who waspushing eagerly for our goal-line. My kicking, too,had been valuable, and especially my place-kicking.I have been amused, in the time I have spent at theuniversity, to hear the place-kick called a "new"play. New to the West it may be; certainly, underthe intelligent study of the young gentleman who hasmade it peculiarly his own at Chicago, it has developedto a remarkable extent But" new," ill the strictsense of the word, it certainly is not, for to us at And­exter it was well-known. We practiced it constantly,and on more than one field it notably assisted us tovictory. The season, as I S3Y, had been on the wholea very successful one. We had defeated both Bow­mouth and Amden by respectable scores; Harvard hadscored on us but once; and WE'!' looked forward with anot unnatural confidence to the final game with Exford,toward which all our efforts had been tending.I had retired early 01: the evening before the game,in obedience to the wishes of the captain. Beforegoing to sleep I had, as usual, said good-night to thephotograph of Miss Ruth that I was fortunate enoughto possess; then, after tossing about for a fewminutes, thinking of the coming game, and pardon­ably hoping that I might distinguish myself in it, Ihad dropped off to sleep. I protest that no thought ofFrancis Hall had been in my mind at any time duringthe evening; I protest that his name, in connectionwith that which I hoped at some time to change to myown, had never entered my head. And this, it seemsto me, makes the circumstance which follows the moreremarkable.I dreamed that John Meredith, old John Meredith,first of the line, from whom I was named, and whoseregimentals I had so often looked at with both af­fection and awe, came and stood at the side of mybed. I knew him at once. There was the high boldforehead, the fierce eye, the dark hair parted at theside and brushed high up on the head; there were the firm Meredith lips, with the little cleft at the corner.That cleft is handed down like a birthmark fromfather to son. In moments of excitement or in­tensity. it throbs and quivers like a taut bowstring.It was throbbing now. Its owner's tall, gaunt bodywas dad in that same uniform that I knew to behanging in the wardrobe, but the hole in the chestwhere the bullet had gone in was no longer there.This man stood beside me in my dream and pointedat his own breast. For a minute, perhaps two, hestood in silence. Then he spoke, solemnly:"Where there is a Meredith of Bolton, there is aHall for his enemy."That was all. That rigid finger still pointed to hisbreast; and as I watched its direction slowly, beforemy very eyes, there grew into shape the bullet-hole Iknew so well. A moment I saw him clearly, in theuniform that was now, to the last particular, the oneI knew; then the dream faded, and I woke.So distinct had been the vision, that as I opened Ill)'eyes, I fancied I could still see him, as one who looksat a light retains the image on his retina even after heturns away. I put my left hand on my right wrist,and my pulse beat like a hammer. I rose, lit thelamp, and getting out my watch counted the pulse­strokes, and they were 102 to the minute. Mindfulof my duty to the team, I put out the light and retiredonce more, but this time it was long before sleep carneto me. What was the significance of that pointing­finger and that strange wound? I had never heardthat Hall had been directly responsible for the deathof my ancestor, although I knew that they had beenmost bitterly opposed. And again, what was themeaning of this vision to me? Did it foreshadow anypersonal harm? Was I to watch young Hall for pos­sible treachery? I puzzled over it a Iong time, tillfinally I fell asleep, still wondering.It seemed scarcely a moment till the vision cameagain-the same stern, rigid soldier I had see II before.But this time he was not alone. Standing beside him,half-encircled by a protecting arm, was a figure I kneweven better than I knew his; there at his shoulder,with eyes closed, and with that look of blank uncon­sciousness that sleep gives, was a face I loved. JohnMeredith, my ancestor, and Ruth Walsingham, mylove! Again came the instant of silence; again thatsolemn warning:"'Vhere there is a Meredith of Bolton, there is aHall for his enemy." Then came the darkness oncemore.There was no more sleep for me that night. Thepretence I made, for I well knew, and remembered eventhen, the rules of training. Bu t this last was too muchfor my nerves, and they refused to quiet. That twicerepeated sentence, that first gesture, that protecting73UNIVERSITY OF CmCAGO WEEKLY.clasp, were plain as day to my interpretation now.Clearly was I to suspect Hall; clearly he, as well as I,had seen and admired Miss Ruth. I had no moredoubt of it than-I have now.I was in but poor condition for the game when, afterthat long night, I rose next morning. I could see thecaptain watching me narrowly at the breakfast table.He said nothing, however, for he was one of those whobelieved in a policy of silence where talking can do nopositive good. Hall, too, caught that watchful glanceoccasionally, and even I, though I looked at him aslittle as possible, could see that he was nervous.We came on the field at two. Could any descriptionof mine bring one new adjective to the picturing of thecrowd that greeted us, I would write it, but it has beenwritten too often before. We trotted out in the old,indifferent fashion, to meet the old swelling Andextercheer. I looked at the point in the crowd where Iknew Ruth would be sitting with her father, and myeye caught the Andexter colors. Then I kept my eyeson the ball.The game ebbed and flowed. If we had an excel­lent eleven, Exford could boast of the same. Our oldrival was not going down before us without a struggle.Indeed, as time went on, it began to be doubtful whe­ther she intended to go down at all. Nothing to noth­ing the score stood at the end of the first half. Batteras we would, we could 110t shake that Exford line.Hall, that tower of strength, struggled in vain at tac­kle; the black lion's-mane of the captain tossed in angryprotest as, boring through the interference. in camethe Exford ends and caught him; my fiercest buckingmade little impression on the center. It was no con­solation that Exford was unable to advance the ball.A tie would not satisfy the college, to whom we hadboasted that we could win. We must win. But theti me was going fast.I had punted, finally, in desperation, and Exford,after a few vain attempts, had punted back. The kickwas a short one and when we lined up, we were withinfurty yards of Exford's goal. Through us all therecame the thrill of determination. We felt that it wasour last chance. The captain ran his eye over the lineand gave a signal, and it was Hall's.All through the game I had watched Hall closely.Even in the heat and desperation of that contest Icould not forget what I had dreamed the night before.The cheers blew out over the field thunderously, butthey could not drown that stern voice I had heard.Yet I had seen nothing, except that Hall was playingwith unusual fire.We set our muscles, waited the breathless moment,and were off. As I swung towards the end of the line,out of the tail of my eye, I caught a glimpse of Hall,tearing out from his place at tackle, hard on our heels, carrying the ball. Then the lithe form of the Exfordend loomed before me, and I struck my shoulder homeinto his chest and heard him gasp, and saw him fall,and the thought came to me that he was out of theplay at any rate. On we plunged; there was an awfulroar; I could feel that Hall had not been stopped; andwhen, after a long time, it seemed to me, there camethe multitudinous sigh that the crowd gives when theplay is over, I saw that Hall had made twenty yards.It was the best run of the game. It gave us an oppor­tunity to score. Happy that I helped in it, even alittle,.I went back to my place, and the captain noddedto me approvingly. He gave my signal. Once. twiceI tried, but I could not gain. We were as far from ascore as ever.There, a short twenty yards away, rose the goal­posts, but we had five yards to gain on a down. Weknew we could not do it. The captain looked againat Hall, then frowned, and called-and, it seemed tome, I could catch the note of hopelessness even in thesimple signal-thirteen, sixteen, twenty-four. It wasthe signal for a place-kick. The ends took their places:the quarter-back went into the line; and Hall cameback to hold the ball, as he had done throughout theseason. He lay down on his stomach, stretching him­self at full length, waiting for the centre-rush to passthe ball back; and as he lay there. looking away fromme, the vision of the night before came into my head,and a wave of such hate swelled up in me that. had Inot clenched my teeth, I declare that I should havestepped forward and crushed him like a serpent. Thenthe centre passed the ball; Hall caught it, attemptedto hold it on end, and let it fall, and in a flash I sawhis plan. The villain, to discredit me, would lose thegame. Circumstance had distinguished him, and hewould prevent it from distinguishing me likewise.Though I could 110t then, and have never been ablesince to believe that his act was premeditated, yet Iam firmly firmly assured that my ancestor was permittedto see what was to happen in the future. For in aclap, as I say, I saw Hall plain; I fathomed his motive;and I took my resolution. Even as the ball lay on itsside on the ground, while he fumbled feebly at it, andthe eager and confident rushers of Exford were bearingdown on us, I stepped forward and kicked. He hadno time to withdraw his fingers, and I felt them crushagainst the ball, as I had hoped. But the ball itself,guided, as I have always believed, hy the same spiritthat had warned me rose and soared straight betweenthe posts and over the bar, and Andexter had beatenExford 5-0.In all the universities of France there are no papers,no glee clubs, no fraternities, 110 athletics and no com­mencement exercises. - The Adelbert.

No.8In our last issue we published a COlli­Debating. munication from the President of ourOratorical Association, in which was in­corporated an ardent appeal for greater interest in thecoming debate with Minnesota. Chicago's showingin oratory has been hitherto exceedingly erratic, butthere has been an unfortunate preponderance ofmediocre teams among those which have representedus. This inferiority is probably due to a lack ofappreciation of the worth of undertaking this phase ofone's education. Even if a man does not anticipateenough success to insure him a place on the debatingteam, from the mere attempt, inestimable benefits willaccrue. Moreover, every man interested in increasingthe prestige and repute of our University should doeverything in his power to enlarge the ability of ourdebaters. No better way can be found to do this thanto give one's own talent to the work.It seems strange, when we think of the generosityof our Alma Mater, in offering inducements to thedevelopment of debating power, that we have not hadmore success in competition.

If wewin it means an undisputed title to the championshipof the Middle West. We ought to win. Our teamthis year is probably the better than any other whichever struggled for the triumph of the Maroon.

But if there is a slump in the eagerness,due to over-confidence, or staleness, or whatever, itmay go hard with us.

This matter may be an old joke but it's morethan that. It's more than an exaspei atiug nuisance.When that canal, between Walker and Cobb, becomesankle deep in nasty slush or is filled with four inchesof water, it becomes a serious menace to the health ofthose students who have to wade through it; colds,coughs, pneumonia lurk in these mud holes, and morethan one case of dangerous sickness have been causedby them. To leave these sloppy, plashy quagmires asthey are now is a shameless, dastardly, almost crim­inal negligence, and had we not had years' experiencewith them, we would think a disregard of their pres­ent condition well-nigh increditable. But the authori­ties, the management, or who ever it may be who areresponsible, firmly intrenched behind a bulwark ofbolts of red tape, remain brazenly unmindful and themighty thrusts of the Weekly have about as mucheffect as a needle on a bale of cotton.The only remedy which we can suggest as likely toprove efficient, is for us to call a mass meeting of thestudents, take up a collection and by appointing acommittee to act for us, undertake the work ourselves.7STIlE BATTLE OX.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO FOOTBALL TEAM.From Harper's weekly.READY FOR ACTION.From Harper's weekly,SNAP SHOTS TAKEN AT PHILADELPHIA.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.flI� II;jl�1. / I.,. .. .. 1 ... arper's T¥eek(y, in com­menting on Chicago'splay against Pennsyl­vania, says: "Chicago'splay against Pennsyl­vania came as a revela-..... tion to the East.

A.The members of the Young Men's Christian Associ·tion desire hereby to express publicly their heartythanks to the members of the faculties and the execu­tive officers of the Univer-ity for the generous sym­pathy and material aid they have given tl.e Associationin furnishing its new room and in establishing thework this year on a broader basis than has heretoforebeen possible. The Association has been made to feelthat the teachers and officers of the University as abody are its warm friends and can be relied upon toco-operate in its plan for the help of the students.This has been very gratifying and encouraging to thepresent members, and bas inspired a larger responsefrom the students themselves than ever before.New departments of work have accordingly beenopened. A special committee to help secure boardingaud lodging places for new students has been appoint­ed. The chairman has his office in the Associationroom, north basement of Haskell Hall, from 10:30 toI I a. m., and from 2 to 3 p. m. The employmentbureau, of which Mr. MacLean and Mr. Barker con­stitute the committee, invites the students and themembers of the faculty especially to report any callsfor work which students may do, through the expressoffice or box 194 Faculty Exchange. Many worthystudents are now applying through the bureau forwork to help maintain them in school. The presentneed is for the co-operation on the part of those whohave work to furnish.The budget of expenses for the current year amountsin the aggregate to $600. This sum is divided amongthe following items: the general secretary's salary,furnishing of the room; receptions and socials, print­ing, expenses of delegates to the student summer con­ference at Lake Geneva, e xtension of associations inaffiliated schools, etc.The last item represents a new work planned by theintercollegiate committee. In addition to this, the mis­sionary committee has undertaken to arrange for thesupport, by members of the association interested, of amissionary in India. The committee believes that ex­clusive home work is narrowing. and likely to defeatits own ends. Five or six bible classes, beside the reg­ular devotional meetings, are carried on or being formedat present, and the membership of the association israpidly increasing. The Y. M. C. A. surely has greatcause to be thankful this year for the increasing oppor-tunities for usefulness opening before it..Last Wednesday evening the subject of the associa­tiqn meeting was, ".The Need of Christian Fellow- ship." :'Ilr. A. E. Bestor led, and a number of newmembers were received into fellowship.Next Wednesday evening the Y. M. C. A. will holda missionary conference, to be led by the chairman ofthe missionary committee, Mr. E. C.

The cheering for the Thanksgivinggame was practiced as were also the songs. A schemefor systematic rooting was proposed and it seems thatwe will have the strongest cheering which we haveever had. Speeches were made by several of the pro­fessors, members of the team and some of the students.$Dramatic Club.- The Dramatic Club at its electionthis fall chose for President, Percy B. Eckhart, andfor Executive Committee, Miss Cooke, Mr. Andersonand Mr. Henning. During the last three years theplays given by the Dramatic Club have been amongthe most attractive social features of the whole col­lege year. The Department of Public Speaking hasgiven special attention to those taking part in thecastes, and although as yet nothing very elaborate hasbeen attempted, the rendering of the productions triedthus far has been far above the level of college dra­matics. There certainly is a wide field for such a clubin the University, and this year it promises to presenta more elaborate play than any hitherto given. Thefirst play will be given some time in January.�Councils' Petrtion.c=Both the Senior and JuniorCollege Councils at their respective meetings last week,decided to send the B lard of Physical Culture and Ath­lteics a petition, requesting that hereafter season tick­ets for the students be iss ned to all the athletic games,and sold at a low price so that all can easily purchasethem. The Councils believe that the cause of thecomparatively small number of students present at allthe games is due not to their lack of interest, but tothe inability of the majority of them to pay the regu­lar admission fee each time. A step has already beentaken in the right directian by the Athletic Board inproviding good seats for the students at the Thanks­giving game at a dollar. If the Board accepts thissuggestion, it will undoubtedly result in mutual bene­fits, for there will surely be twice as many studentsout, more cheering, and even more money for theBoard.$Oratorical Association.-At a meeting of the Ora­torical Association last Tuesday it was decided to chal­lenge Columbia to debate again with us this year. Itis an assured fact that Columbia will accept, and thedebate will come off in Chicago probably in March.It was also decided at this meeting that the same planshould be followed in the preliminaries for the Minne­sota debate as was used last year in the Columbia.The finals with Minnesota will take place January 13th,in Chicago. �The WEEKLY is just in receipt of a pamphlet byFrederick A.

Thinkof having to be in every night at 10 o'clock during al­most three months' time, of getting not even a whiff oftobacco smoke, of denying yourself even a drop of theluscious amber-""That is-theoretically.""Shut up, you unfeeling cynic. And of knockingaimlessly about these barren quarters for nine-tenths ofyour time. Ifit hadn't been for the trip I'd say it was110t worth the trouble.'"Oh, but think of the fame and honor and glory.""Glory be damned.""There's that Freshman again. Somebody ought tochoke him. Say, 'Papa's Boy,' got your history forto-morrow?' ,"History, naw. What am I playing football for ifnot to get through my courses without studying?Where's the Capting? His 'steady' again, I suppose.How're you feeling to-night, Fader?""Oh, I got a kind 0' tiresome, and I'm a bit hun­gry, too." 85"Ask the 'Old Man' for a quarter to buy somethingto eat.""Yes, and get a St. Thomas meal, huh? That wasa great day that Sunday we went through St. Thomas,wasn't it? I have to laugh when I think of the c'ev­erness of the Old Man. Did you hear about it, Scrub?", , No; swing her loose."" The trouble arose in this manner: Several of thefellows naturally began to tire of hearing the unceas­ing grumble of the train and of seeing the scenerymonotonously roll by. It was not long before a con­venient number had, one by one, edged into the draw­ing room; the door closed and locked after them, thecurtains were drawn and an unwonted quiet prevaIedabout the front of the car. Well the old man beganto get nervous. He glanced aniously toward the draw­ing room and I'm afraid his suspicious ears caught thegrowl of the tiger. So he began to ponder. Suddenlya brilliant idea arose upon his mental horizon. Itseems every section in the car was engaged for theteam except the drawing room. So the Old Man huntsup the conductor, puts him next, and asks him to re­quest the fellows in the drawing room for their tickets.The 'coney' braces in, calls for the credentials, andthe game-that is, the jig-was up. Several of thefellows suggested engaging the room, but they wereafraid they'd have to come out anyway and then theywould have lost their money without a chance to getits worth. But the 'Old Man' was pretty warm andplanned his revenge. When supper time came he wasdeaf to all suggestions of "dining car," or of anythingin the edible line. He said the big dinner we hadhad was more than enough. But Fader's pitiful pic­tures of the living skeletons he would have by morn­ing, coupled with a slight feeling of emptiness on hisown part-s-you know the Old Man's a pretty fair eaterhimself-softened his heart and he allowed each manthe large, copious, liberal sum of twenty-five cents tobuy supper at the St. Thomas depot eating house.""Well, anyhow we dissipated in large pieces of theforbidden pie; nicht wahr, Foolish?"86 UNIVERSITY OF CI-llCAGO WEEKLY.MAJORS AND MINORS.Miss Harriet Foote took luncheon at Foster on Wednesday,Mr. Wilmer Cane France, Ph.
