He studied atthe University at Bonn,1847-48, and in 1849 took part in theinsurrection in the Palatinate and Baden, on the repressionof which he was arrested, but escaped to Switzerland. Hecame to this country in 1852, and became a prominent memobel' of the Republican party. He was minister to Spain in1861, but resigned to enter the Union army. He served inthe second battle of Bull Run, at Chancelforsville. Gettys­burg and Chattanooga, and obtained the rank of Major­Gener-al of volunteers. He was Republican U. S. Senatorfrom Missouri 1869-75; was a leading' member of LiberalRepublican revolt 1872; Secretary of Interior 1877-8t; waseditor of the S. 1-. Evening Post 1881-84; and was one ofthe leaders of the mugwump movement of 18B!.)"By inviting me to address its faculty, its students, andits friends upon so distinguished an occasion, the Univetsit yof Chicago has done me an bonor for which I am profoundlygratefuL I can prove that grat.itude ill no better WRy thanby uttering with entire frankness my honest convict.ious onthe great subject you have given me to discuss- a subjectfraught with more momentous consequence than any eversubmitted to the judgment of the American people sincethe foundation of our constitutional government."It is proposed to embark this republic in a course of im­perialistic policy by permanently annexing to it certainislands taken or partly taken from Spain in the late war.The matter is near its decision, but not yet decided. Thepeace treaty made at Paris is not yet ratified by the senate,but even if it were the question whether those islands, al­though ceded by Spain, shall be permanently incorporatedin the territory of the United Stales would still be open forfinal determination by congress. As an open question,therefore, I shall discuss it."If ever, it behooves the American people to think andact with calm deliberation, for the character and future ofthe republic and the welfare of its people now living andyet to be born 'flre in unprecedented jeopardy."* * * * * * *After dwelling at length upon the conditions, beliefs,ideals and ambitions of the American people before theSpanish war, he continued;"Then came the Spanish war. A few vigorous blows laidthe feeble enemy helpless at our feet. The whole sceneseemed to have suddenly changed. According to the sol­emn proclamation of our government, the war had beenundertaken solely for the liberation of Cuba-as a war ofhumanity and not of conquest. But our easy victories hadput conquest within our reach, and when our arms occupiedforeign territory, a loud demand arose that, pledge or no pledge to the contrary, the conquests should be kept, eventhe Phillipines on the other side of the globe, and that asto Cuba herself, independence would be only a provisionalformality. Why not? was the cry. Has not the career ofthe republic, almost from its very beginning, been one oftcrritorial expansion? Has it not acquired Louisiana, Flor­ida, Texas, the vast countries that came to us through theMexican war, and Alaska, and has it not digested them well ?Were not those acquisitions much larger than those now incontemplation? If the republic could digest the old, whynot the new? Wbat is tbe difference?"Only look with an unclouded eye, and you will soon d iscover differences enougb warning you to beware. There arefive of decisive importance:"1. All tbe former acquisitions were on this continent,and, excepting Alaska, contiguous to our borders.., 2. They were situated, not in the tropical. but in thetemperate zone, where democratic institutions t hrive, andwhere our people could migrate in mass."3. They were but very thinly peopled in fact, withoutany population that would have been in the way of newsettlements."4. They could be organized as territories in the usualmanner, witb the expectation that they would presentlycome into the union as self governing states, with popula­. tions substantially homogeneous to our own."5. 'I'hey did not require a material increase of our armyand navy, either for tbeir subjection to our rule 01' for tbeirdefense against any probable foreign attack by their beingin our possession."Acquisitions of that nature we might, since the slaverytrouble has been allayed, make indefinitely without in anydangerous degree imperilling our great experiment of dem­ocratic institutions on the grandest scale, without puttingthe peace of the republic in jeopardy. and without deprivingus of the inestimable privilege of comparatively unarmedsecurity on a compact continent which may, indeed, by anenterprising enemy, be scratched on its edges, but is, witha people like ours, virtually impregnable. Even of our far­away Alaska it can be said that, although at present a pos­session of doubtful value, it is at least mainly on this conti­nent, and may at some future time, when the inhabitants ofthe British possessions happly wish to unite with us, bewithin our uninterrupted boundaries."Compare now with our old acquisitions, as to all theseimportant points, those at present in view;"They are not continental, not contiguous to our presentUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY. I..domain, but beyond seas, the Phillppines many thousandmiles distant from our coast. They are all situated in thetropics, where people of the northern races, such as Anglo­Saxons, or, generally speaking, people of Germanic blood,have never migrated in mass to stay, and they are more orless densely populated, parts of them as densely as Massa­chusetts-their populations consisting almost exclusivelyof races to whom the tropical climate is congenial-Spanishcreoles mixed with negroes in the West Indies, and Malays,'I'agals, F'ilhpinos, Chinese, Japanese, Nigritos and variousmore or less barbarous tribes in the Phillipines."When the question is asked whether we may hope toadapt to adapt those countries and populations to our sys­tern of government, the advocates of annexation answercheerily that when they belong to us we shall soon' Ameri­canize'them. This may mean that Americans in sufficientlylarge numbers will migrate there to determine the characterof those populations so as to assimilate them to our own.This is a delusion of the first magnitude. We shall, in­deed, be able, if we go honestly about it, to accomplish sev­eral salutary things in those countries. But one thing wecannot do. We call not strip the tropical climate of thosequalities which have at all times deterred men of the north­ern races, to which we belong, from migrating to those coun­tries in mass, to make their homes there, as they have mi­grated and are still migrating to countries in the temperatezone. 'I'nis is not a mere theory, but a fact of universal ex­perieuce .• ' It is true, yon will find in the towns of tropical regionsa sprinkling of persons of Anglo-Saxon or of other northernorigin-merchants, railroad builders, speculaters, profes­sional men, and mechanics; also here and there an agricul­turist. But their number is small, and most of them expectto go home again as soon as their money-making purpose ismore or less accomplished."I do not mean to say, however, that all of our new acqui­sitions would be rnled as subject provinces. Some of them,the Phillippines, would probably remain as such, but someothers would doubtless become states. In Porto Rico, forinstance, politicians of lively ambition are already clamor­ing for the speedy organization of that little island as a reg­ular territory, soon to be admitted as a state of the union.You may say that they will have long to wait. Be not sosure of that. Consult your own experience. Has not morethan one territory, hardly fitted for statehood, been precipi­tated into the union as as a state when the majority partyin congress thought that by doing so its party strengthcould be augmented in the senate and in the house and inthe electoral college? Have our parties become so unself­ishly virtuous that this may not happen again? So we maysee Porto Rico admitted before we have had time to rubour eyes."If we take those new regions, we shall be well entangledin that con test for territorial aggrandizement which dis­tracts other nations and drives them far beyond their orig­inal design. So it will be inevitably with us, We shall wantnew conquests to protect that which we already possess.The greed of speculators working upon our government WIllpush us from one point to another, and we shall have newconflicts upon our hands, almost without knowing how wegot into them. It has always been so under such circum­stances and always will be. This means more and moresoldiers, ships and guns."We are already told that we shall need a regular army ofat least 100,000 men, three-fourths of whom are to serve inour uew+possessions.' The question is whether this neces- sity is to be only temporary or permanent. Look fit thecost. Last year the support of the army proper requiredabout S23,000,000. It is computed that taking the increasedcostliness of the service in the tropics into account, thearmy under the new dispensation will require about 8130,-000,000; that is, S127,000,000 a year more. It is also offlciallyadmitted that the possession of the Philippines wouldrender indispensable a much larger increase of the navythan would otherwise be necessary, costing untold millionsfor the bnilding and equipment of ships, and untold mil­lions every year for their maintenance and for the increasednumber of officers and men. What we shall have to spendfor fortifications and the like cannot now be computed.But there is a burden upon us which in like weight noother nation has to bear. Today, thirty-three years afterthe civil war, we have a pension roll of very nearly 1,000,-000 names. And still they come. We paid to pensionersover $145,000,000 last year, a sum larger than t.he annualcost of the whole military peace establishment of the Ger­man empire, including its pension roll. Our recent Span­ish war will, according to a moderate estimate, add at least$20,000,000 to our annual pension payments. But if wesend troops to the tropics and keep them there we mustlook for a stream of pensioners from that quarter, for inthe tropics soldiers are "used up" very fast, even if theyhave no campaigning to do.+It would seem, therefore. the new territorial acquisitionsin view are after all very different from those we have madebefore. But something more is to be said. When theCuban affair approached a crisis President McKinley de­clared in his message that 'forcible annexation canuot bethought of, for it would, by our code of morals, be criminalaggression.' And in resolving upon the war against Spain,the Congress. to commend that war to the public opinionof the world, declared with equal emphasis and solemnitythat the war was from a sense of duty and humanity, madespecifically for the liberation of Cuba, and that Cuba "is,and of right, ought to be, free and independent.' If thesedeclarations were not sincere, they were base and disgrace.ful acts of hypocrisy. If they were sincere at the time,would they not be turned into such disgraceful acts ofhypocrisy by subsequently turning the wai , professedlymade from motives of duty and humanity, into a war ofconquest and self-aggrandizement? It is pretended thatthose virtuous promises referred to Cuba only. But if Presi­dent McKinley had said that the forcible annexation ofCuba would be criminal aggression, but that the forcibleannnexation of anything else would be perfectly right, andif congress had declared that as to Cuba the war would beone of mere duty, humanity and liberation, but that wewould take by conquest whatever else we could lay ourhands on, would not all mankind have broken out in ashout of scornful derision?"I ask in all candor, taking President McKinley at hisword, will the forcible annexation of the Philippines byour code of moral s not be criminal aggression- a self­confessed crime? I ask further, if the Cubans, as congressdeclared, are and of right ought to be free and indepen­dent, can anybody tell me why the Porto Ricans and theFilipinos ought not of right to be free and independent?Can you sincerely recognize the right to freedom and in­dependence of one and refuse the same right to another inthe same situation, and then take his land? Would notthat be double dealing of the most shameless sort?"And now compare this picture of the state of thingswhich threatens us, with the picture which I drew of our,..UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY. 131condition existing before the expansion fever seized us.Which will you choose?"What can there be to justify a policy fraught with suohdireful consequences? Let us pass the arguments of theadvocates of such imperialism candidly in review."The cry suddenly raised that this great country has be­come too small for us is too ridiculous to demand ananswer, in view of the fact that our present populationmay be tripled and still have ample elbow room, with re­sources to support many more. But we are told that ourindustries are gasping for breath; that we are sufferingfrom over-production; that our products must have newoutlets, and that we need colonies and dependencies theworld over to give us more markets. More markets? Cer­tainly. But do we, civilized beings, indulge in the absurdand barbarous notion that we must own the countries \�ithwhich we wish to trade? Here are our official reports be­fore us, telling us that of late years our export trade hasgrown enormously, not only of farm products, but of theproducts of our manfacturing industries; in fact, that 'oursales of manufactured goods have continued to extend witha facility and promptitude of results which have excited theserious concern of countries that for generations had notonly controlled their home markets, but had practicallymonopolized certain lines of trade in other lands.""Looking them in the face, let us first clear our minds ofconfused notions about our duties and reponsibilities inthe premises. That our victories have devolved upon uscertain duties as to the people of the conquered islands Ireadily admit. But are they the only duties we have toperform, or have they suddenly become paramount to allother duties? I deny it. I deny that theduties we owe tothe Cubans and the Porto Ricans and the Filipinos and the.1'agals of the Asiatic islands absolve us from our duties tothe 75,000,000 of our people and their posterity. I deny thatthey oblige us to destroy the moral credit ·of our own re­public by turning this loudly heralded war of liberationand humanity into a land- grabbing game and an act ofcriminal aggression. I deny that they compel us to aggra­vate our race troubles, to bring upon us the constant dan­ger of war and to subject our people to the galling burdensof increasing armaments. If we have rescued those unfor­tunate daughters of Spain, the colon its, from the tyrannyof their cruel father, I deny that we are therefore in honorbound to marry any of the girls or to take them all into ourhousehold, where they may distcrb and demoralize ourwhole family. I deny that the liberation of those Spanishdependencies morally constrains us to do anything thatwould put our highest mission to solve the great problemof democratic government in jeopardy or that would other­wise endanger the vital interests of the republic.. What­ever our duties to them may be, our duties to our owncountry and people stand first, and from this standpointwe have, as sane men and patriotic citizens. to regard ourobligation to take care of those islands and their people."Mr. Schurz concluded by predicting the possibilities forthe islands if allowed to develop Independently under ourfostering care:"No, we cannot expect that the Porto Ricans, the Cubansand the Filipinos will maintain orderly governments inAnglo 'Saxon fashion. But they may succeed in estab­lishing a tolerable order of things in their fashion, as Mex­ico, after many years of turbulent disorder, succeeded atlast, under Porfirio Diaz, in having a strong and orderlygovernment of her kind, not indeed such a government aswe would tolerate in this union, but a government answer- ing Mexican character and interests, and respectable in itsrelations with the outside world."This will become all the more possible if, without annex­ing lind ruling those people, we simply put them on theirfeet, and th sn give them the benefit of humaritarian spiritwhich, as we claim, led us into the war for the liberationof Cuba. To this end we should keep our troops on theislands until their people have constructed governmentsand organized forces of their own for the maintenance oforder. Our military occupation should not be kept up aslong as possible, but should be withdrawn as soon as pos­sible.The Philippines may, as Belgium and Swizerland are inEurope, be covered by a garantee of neutrality on the partof the powers most interested in that region-an agreementwhich the diplomacy of the United States should not findit difficult to obtain. This would secure them againstforeign aggression.As to the independent republic of Porto Rico and Cuba,our government might lend its good offices to unite themwith San Domingo and Hayti in a confederacy of the An­tilles, to give them a more respectable iuteruatlonal stand­ing. St.ipulations should be agreed upon with them as toopen ports and the freedom of business enter prise withintheir borders, affording all possible commercial facilities.Missionary effort in the largest sense as to the developmentof popular education and of other civilizinng agencies, aswell as abundant charity in case of need, will on our partnot be wanting, and all will help to mitigate their disor­derly tendencies and to steady their governments.Thus we shall be their best friends without being theirforeign rulers. We shall have done our duty to them, toourselves, and to the world. However imperfect their gov­ernments may still remain, they will at least be their own,and they will not with their disorders and corruptions con­taminate our institutions, the integrity of which is not on lyto ourselves, but to Iiberty- loving mankind, the most im­portant concern of all. We may then await the resultwith generous patienee-vwith the same patience with whichfor may years we witnessed the revolutionary disorders ofMexico on our very borders, without any thought of takingher government into our own hands.Ask yourselves whether a policy like this will raise theAmerican to a level of moral greatness never before at­tained! If this democracy, after all the intoxication oftriumph in war, conscientiously remembers its professionsand pledges, and soberly reflects on its duties to itself andothers, and then deliberately resists the temptation of con­quest, it will achieve the grandest triumph of the demo­cratic idea history knows of. It will give the governmentof, for and by the people a prestige it never before pos­sessed. It will render the cause of civilization throughoutthe world a service without parallel. It will put its detrac­tors to shame. and its voice wIll be heard in the councilof nations with more sincere respect and more deferencethan ever. The American people, having given proof oftheir strength and also of their hone sty and wisdom, willstand infinitely mightier before the world than any num­ber of subjugated vassals could make them. Are not hereour best interests, moral and material? Is not this genuineglory? Is not this true patriotism?I call upon all who so believe never to lose heart in thestruggle for this great cause, whatever odds may seem tobe against us. Let there be no puaillauimous yieldingwhile the final decision is still in the balance. Let us re­lax no effort in this, the greatest crisis the republic hastrue flag, the flag of George Washington and Abraham Lin­coln, the flag of the government of, for and by the people,the flag of national faith held sacred and of national honorunsullied, the flag of human rights and of good example toall nations, the flag of true civilization, peace and good willto all men.

Let usraise high the flag of our country-not as an emblem ofreckless adventure and greedy conquest, of betrayed pro­fessions and broken pledges, of criminal aggression andarbitrary rule' over subject populations-but the old, theA REVIEW FOR 1898 OF THE VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS OF COLLEGE ACTIVITIES.BASEBALL.The baseball season of 1898 was highly successful,when the fact that there was no thoroughly seasonedpitcher in college is taken into consideration. Chi­cago led all western college teams in the percentage ofgames won in the college series, but the loss of theMichigan series prevented a clear title to the cham­pionsnip.The more important games played during the yearresulted as follows:Chicago 4, Michigan 5.Chicago 4, Michigan 2.Chicago 2.

The teamwas easily the first in the West in batting, the aver­age in the college games being. 286. In fielding theteam was equally as fast, the average being .900.The base-running was faster than in previous years,and proportionately more reckless and stupid.Several new faces found places on the -team. Smithproved a "find" in the box, and with the experienceof last year should do well this. Kennedy developedinto the best first baseman in the West and the bestChicago has ever had. Southard played a fairly goodgame in left field. The changing of positions byVernon and Clarke worked well, especially in the caseof the latter, who played a phenomenal game at sec­ond-base. Merrifield and Herschberger both im­proved their game materially, but Captain Sawyerand Gardner detenorated slightly. The team was un­fortunate in having McElree and Southard seriouslyhurt by being struck in the head by pitched balls.The individual records of the men are appended: BATTING.Player. Total At Bat. Hits.

In all other re­spects the team is at least the equal of last year'steam. Sawyer has graduated, and Clarke has joinedthe "dear departed" prematurely. Their positions,however, will not be so har-d to fill, as there is plentyof material available. The nucleus of veterans iscomposed of Captain Merrifield, Herschberger,Vernon, Smith, Kennedy, Southard, Leighton andWriedt. Jacobs, Ewing and Allen are the most ex­perienced of the newcomers. The outlook is fairlyhopeful, but the team will have to be a good one tohold its own in the West this year..;J.TRACK ATHLETICS.While the work of our track team last year wassomething of which we might well be proud, it isnothing compared to what we may expect of our1UNIVERSITy UF CHICAGO WEEKLY.athletes during the season which is now opening.The start in intercollegiate contests was made last yearat the Tattersall's meet and every loyal Chicago manremembers the glorious work of Burroughs, Herschie,White, Smith, and others. How Burrsughs beat May­bury, how Herschie hurdled faster than his old oponentPat 0' Dea, how White, Smith and Beers won sixteenpoints ill the mile and half mile. The next meet wasthe only one of which we might feel ashamed. Every'Varsity man seemed to be out of sorts. Burroughscould not win the sprints. The hurdles went almostentirely to the opponents and in the field events wegot only one first: Herschberger in the discus throw.Moloney began his career in the athletic world wellby winning the 440 yards run and taking third in 220yards dash.A week later our team met Illinois on MarshallField and redeemed itself. Burroughs had everythinghis own way in the dashes, Moloney took the quarterin .5I 2-5, while Smith and Barton won the long runs.Herchberger won the high hurdles and the pole vault.The Illini walked away with most of the points inthe weights. Moloney was the particular star of themeet, winning eleven points.Wisconsin's stand in intercollegiate athletic rela­tions prevented our entering the Western Intercollegi­ate Athletic Association meet, but the Triangularmeet on Marshall Field was far superior to the Park­side contests. B. B. Smith equaled the Western re­cord in the mile run formerly held by Craigin, andVon Oven broke the Western record in the hammerthrow, sending the weight I30 ft. 6 in. The absenceof Moloney among Chicago entries weakened our teama great deal. Michigan's large margin in this meetmakes Chicag-o's showing at Detroit the next weekdoubly creditable. Burroughs captured the sprints;Moloney did excellent work in the quarter and halfmile runs, in the first of which he defeated Teetzel in.5I 4-5 and running the half in 2.00 2-5. Had Chi­cago been able to get third place in the high jump wewould have won the meet, but the wet sod, to whichour jumpers were not accustomed prevented this.Following are the scores of the different meets:MEET.

We have at least one star in every run and in the field events, where wehave usually been weak, there are a large number ofcandidates who give great promise of pushing to thefront rank. In the short dashes we find Burroughs,who may be expected to reach the record this year.Besides him there are, Slack, Merrifield, and a fewmen of less ability. The quarter-mile will be takencare of by Moloney, White, Fair, Wright, and Man­ning, who is showing great form. Trude also may dowell enough to represent the 'Varsity.In the mile run Capt. Smith w'ill try to lower theWestern record and at the same time will aid in devel­oping Hulburt and McCarthy. These same men withWhite will also compete in the half mile. In the hur­dles we will again have to count on Herschberger andKennedy, and as new material on Manning and Trude.Unlike last year, the high jump will not again beleft to one man. Schmahl shows great improvementover last year, and Byrne, who jumped for Illinois lastyear, has a record of 5 feet 8 inches. Henry, the foot­ball man, has some experience in the event, and thetall freshman, Congdon, is practicing daily with suc­cess. Herschberger, Schmahl, Kennedy and Foglewill put the shot. Schmahl has been the only one outso far, and has succeeded in throwing the weight 37feet. The same men will also throw the discus. Mor­timer is our only hope in the hammer throw, andHerschberger, Drew and McGee are the only ones whohave been trying the pole-vault. Certainly, with suchmaterial and the large number of raw men, Staggought to bring out a championship track team.SOCIAL.The social sky of I898 has been of unusual bril­liancy. The sun and moon of events, the Washingtonand Junior Promenades, shone with more than com­mon splendor, and round about these have clusteredthe stars of fraternity dances, assembly informals, andmany other events of a happy nature. As usual, theDramatic Club gave a very successful entertainment, atestimony of the ability of the student body. TheGlee, Mandolin and Banjo annual concen at CentralMusic Hall far surpassed those of former years. Butperhaps a more notable factor than these has been thenumber of individual dances, small suppers, andespecially house parties, which have been an evidence.And to fill in the few remaining chinks of time, the'Varsity Halls, the President and many others havegiven receptions of a varied and assorted nature.The coming year promises well. Washington'sBirthday and Junior College Day wiII again resoundwith the twinkle of dance music; the musical and dra­matic clubs will again entertain, and anxious for socialdistinction must he be who feels compelled to seek func­tions whose origin and connections arise elsewherethan within the bounds of the old gray-walled campus.I33SUMMER QUARTER.Contrary to custom the Council for the SummerQuarter was quite active. TneJunior Finals under itsdirection were exceptionally successful. The honorsystem question was disposed of by agreeing that itwas unnecessary in name, since it was already in forcein spirit.This Council in conjunction with the Senior Councilwas unsuccessful in carrying out plans for a trip toLake Geneva to visit the Yerkes Observatory, but wasquite successful in planning and carrying.out the L.aborDay celebration. The matter of making the Finalsmore important was considered, and the organizationof a University Band was suggested and approved. Itwas in this Council that plans were first proposed forPresentation Day celebration in honor of the freshmen.But the most lasting results of this quarter's work werethe formation and adoption of an Order of Business forcouducting the business of the Council more systema­tically and more easily.AUTUMN QUARTER.The Council for this quarter as usual had charge ofthe Junior Finals, which, although not very well at­tended were quite successful. In addition a petitionwas sent to the Board of Physical Culture and Ath­letics urging the sale at reduced prices of season tick­ets for all athletic events. And co-operation was begunwith the Oratorical Association to provide for its moreeffective organization. At the last meeting ot thequarter the matter of charging a dollar for change inregistration was informally considered and quite satis­factorily explained by Dean Capps. This measure,however, will undoubtably be examined more carefullynext quarter, and some definite action will be taken.But probably the most noticeable and the most impor­tant thing this Council accomplished was the success­ful inauguration of the Presentation Day celebration.This celebration welcoming the freshmen was particu­larly difficult to start the first time but since it hasbeen inaugurated in a creditable manner it will un­doubtedly be a regular yearly celebration as the Coun­cil intended. All the work of this quarter has beenmuch beyond the average and highly creditable.THE DRAMATIC CLUB.The Dramatic Club has held, ever since its first or­ganization, an unique position among the societies andclubs of the University. Like the University it hasexperimented greatly both with its structural beingand with the character of its products,and like the Uni­versity it embraces both men and women in its mem­bership. Only once in its history have members beenadmitted to the club except upon the basis of a com­petitive trial, and after a majority vote of the old mem­bers. The one exception was a failure which, never­theless proved the rule to be a wise one.134 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.THE SENIOR COUNCIL.The work of the Senior College Council has in themain been unsatisfactory. But as a body to meetemergencies,and achannel through which to express stu­dent sentiment, the council has met with some success.Twice mass meetings have been called, one to discussthe Wisconsin-Chicago affair, and one to arrange thestudent participation in the reception of President Me­Kinley. The council as usual managed the Washing­ton promenade. The council, however, has never beenwell organized and has never had a full attendance.This lack of interest is due partly to the fact that fre­quency of election dissapates pride attaching to theoffice of councillor, and partly to the attitude of thefaculty who only answered the recommendations ofthe council after repeated protests and then only by anacknowledgment of the receipt.The questions before the council are:The recognition of the student body by the athleticmanagement, either by the sale of season tickets orsome other method of obtaining cheaper tickets forstudents.The abolition of senior college division lectures.The recognition of the council's recommendations.Provision for student meetings.The lengthening of the term of councillorship to oneyear.W. G. WALLING.PROCEEDINGS OF THE JUNIOR COLLEGE COUNCILFOR THE YEAR 1898.WINTER QUARTER.The most important work of the Junior Council dur­ing the winter quarter was the consideration, togetherwith the Senior Council, of plans for the organizationof the Military Company. Considerable attention wasalso given to the honor system, but with no results.The arrangements for the Junior Finals were under thedirection of the Council, and the program for the Dayof Prayer for Colleges was in its charge also.SPRING QUARTER.As usual the Council for the Spring Quarter madethe arrangements for the Junior Finals; and as usualit considered the question of the honor system againwithout results. This council took up and examinedthe manner of deciding the division declamation con­tests. It then petitioned the Faculty to abolish theold system and establish a new one. But by far themost difficult and at the same time the most successfulwork done by the Council this quarter was the plan­ning and carrying out of the Junior Day celebration.This celebration consisted of athletic contests, a playby the Dramatic Club, ceremonies of planting the Ivytogether with an Ivy Oration, and finally a ball at theChicago Beach Hotel. In every respect the Councildid unusually creditable work.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKL Y.As a social organization the Dramatic Club has al­ways maintained a high position. This has been duepartly because of the nature aims and purposes of theClub but in greater part to the fact that social qualifi­cations for membership have always been considered,and rightly too, as a prime requisite.Whatever work the Club has proposed to do it hasdone. It belongs to others to say whether the workhas been successfully done or not. At least the clubhas not been either a social or financial failure and itsactive members have derived inestimable benefits fromits productions.In the past the Dramatic Club has found that lightfarces with plenty of action (not necessarily to be con­strued as acting) have met with greater approbationfrom the somewhat critical and heterogeneous audienceof students, professors, and less cultured citizens, thanhave plays of a somewhat pretentious, not to sayclassical nature. The presentation of "The Falcon"a beautiful little piece by Tennyson, although appre­dated greatly, met with but one-fourth the applausewhich greeted Cupid's Touchdown, a fast and cleverfarce written by one of our own members.The newly chosen members have greatly added tothe numbers, and we hope to the talents of the club.We are ambitious to give something bordering on thetrue comedy this season, and the last of February willdoubtless be the time for the next performances. Workis now progressing and the University Dramatic Clubwill await with keen interest the verdict of its patrons.PERCY B.

It maybe rightly said that this was far abovethe average convocation. An effort seems to havebeen made to make the exercises more popular and ofmore general interest, while still retaining the dignityand character of the occasion; and >ye are happy tosay the effort WClS successful. The presence of theHon. Carl Schurz who spoke on a subject of vital im­portance to every American citizen, was a happy de­parture from the usual exhaustive dissertation on somesubject philosophic but soporific. Mr. Schurz' ad-$ .752.50 quence. The fact that for an hour and a half theaudience hung on every word of the speaker indicatesthe power of the orator and the force of his argument.The quarterly statement was awaited with great ex­pectancy, and the announcement that we had beenmade richer by nearly half a million gladdened thehearts of all. It seems if a year should pass withoutsome large addition to our funds or endowment, weshould feel disappointed that we were not growing asfast as our minds would have us. On the contrary,it is as President Harper stated, the University canhave no higher ideals than those which our friendsand benefactors hold before us.The presence of the Germania Mannerchor addedspice and variety to the program. But would it notbe a good suggestion to have our own musical clubsperform now and then on these occasions?We must not fail to add a word to mention the suit­ability of Studebaker Hall for the convocation, a factwhich added much to the general enjoyment. In­deed the Winter Convocation was such a one, thatwe hope for others like it.Only one thing must be criticised and that is themanner of distributing the tickets. The time andplace of the distribution should be plainly announceda considerable time in advance. A regular method,not subject to change is hoped for. Then the stu­dents should be the preferred creditors, not peoplemiles away, both in distance and in interest. ,.Perfunctory as it may seem, theLibrary Abuses. duty of speaking on the abuse oflibrary privileges has certainly comeround to this paper again. Every member of the Uni­versity knows what is meant: Talking in librariesand illegal retention of books are the most irritatingoffences. A new set of the cards, "SILENCE in thisroom !" ought to be put up. But thieving-what canbe said of a student who has in his private roomat one time more than a hundred books belonging tothe University? Detectives, policemen, and publiccourts might probably do some good. Certain classesof books have to be regularly renewed, they disap­pear so fast, As annoying, if less dishonest, is thepractice of keeping out for long times reference booksneeded by numbers of students. THE WEEKLY,representing the students, has a right to publish stu­dents' sins, and it feels keenly the low tone of moralsevinced in the faults mentioned. A good cure is foreach individual student to take care of his or her owndress was a masterful display of facts, logic and elo- share in the responsibility.UNIVERSITY OF CI-llCAGO WEEKLY. 137It is heard on all sides that a far greater ures may be our immediate neighbors. No gift couldFlunks. number of conditions and downright be more timely. Additional impetus will be lent to theflunks have occurred this quarter thanever before; that the courses must be a great dealmore difficult; that the professors "have it in" forcertain students.It is true that there have been the usual number offailures to pass courses, but it is due to the fact thatthe calamity has befallen certain prominent membersof the Freshman class, and otherwise, that the numberseems so large. Men, and women too, popular and in­terested in college affairs, have flunked, simply flunked, obtaining of a suitable gymnasium; an athletic fieldof sufficient proportions will be ours for all time, andathletics in general will receive a stimulus heretoforeimpossible. Moreover, space is now provided for theprofessional schools, which for so long have been thecherished dream of the University. In short, the scopeand significance of our newest donation cannot bemeasured except in the new life which it will inspirein every department of the University. Nor will itsinfluence-stop there; for far beyond the campus boun-and the cry goes up, "Everybody is flunking." Some daries attention will be called to the great deeds ofask, "What's the matter?" and immediately go scour­ing every place but the right place for an explanation.The three-major rule and the flunk rule against par­ticipation in public performances have worked hard­ship, but the burden of it all falls on the one whoflunks. He is to blame, not the professor, not the our benefactors as well as interest in our further needs.And best of all, each sum of money received now hasdouble importance, namely, that Mr. Rockefeller haspromised to duplicate such sums within the limit oftwo million dollars.To these men who have expended so largely fromcourse, not a conspiracy, only himself-the sole per- their means, we would express the gratitude of a Uni-petra tor. Weare sorry to see men barred from shar­ing in the fun of college life and barred from enteringsocieties, but each time it strikes back on the student.Freshmen, who come in with the wrong attitude, withthe idea of doing as little work as possible, and thatthey are O. K. and no mistake, will have a rude awak­ening. Yes, the rule works hardship, but it's a poorrule that does not work both ways.Santa Claus left a precious package$400,000. this Christmas at the University'shearth; a present at last came to us, forwhich we had sent up many a prayer. This latestacquisition to our resources has been made throughthe munificence of John D. Rockefeller, MarshallField and Martin A. Ryerson, and consists of the twoblocks north of the campus, and nearly three hundredfeet frontage on Ellis avenue, west of the campus.The greatness of our good fortune lies not so muchin the amount of money received, but in the nature ofthe gift itself. The possession of these blocks of landis infinitely of more importance to our future thantheir mere valuation can ever be. Now we are as­sured of the essential necessity of a great University­an adequate campus. No longer can the fear existthat our magnificent buildings may be huddled unbe­comingly together, or that a lot of undesirable struct- versity and all those who have its welfare at heart.To their noble-minded generosity we can rear no moreworthy or lasting monument than the gray edificeswhich they themselves have made possible, and towhose wisdom and far-sightedness no greater rewardcan come than the elevation and enlightenment whichwill be afforded their fellow beings.One million dollars remain to be obtained in oneyear, in order that Mr. Rockefeller's pledge may befully taken up. Yet who doubts that in some way ourPresident, by that same tact and skill which has wonus so much, will again succeed in enlisting the neces­sary capital in our cause? We cannot fail while thefavoring goddess Success smiles upon our efforts, andwhile President Harper still holds the helm.THE WEEKLY is under obligations to the ChicagoTimes-Herald for the frontispiece in this issue and theplan of the quadrangles with the new additions.MAJORS AND nlNORS.Miss Zelma Clark, 'D8, has secured a position as a teacherat Berwyn, Ill.Division lectures will begin Tuesday, January 17, insteadof January 10.John P.

After a short prayer thechoir sang "Sleep Thy Last Sleep." PresidentHarper then spoke on the personal character of Mr.Clendenning. He extolled his loyalty to the Uni­versity, his highmindedness, and his general good fel­lowship; he showed that the brilliancy of the youngman had been brought before the student body, inthe excellent speech which the deceased had made onPresentation Day .Dr. McClintock then addressed the 'students on thesubject of "What the death of the fellow-studentmeans to his friends in the University," saying thatit should be an incentive to everbody to behave in thesame noble manner in which Mr. Clendenning alwaysappeared before the eyes of his fellows. Dr. McClin­tock then read a verse which bad been written for theoccasion by Professor Miller, and which we herepublish:IN :MEMORIAM OF JOHN MANLY CLENDENNING.What though thy life be measured by a spanOf years, a meagre score?If worthily through all the days it ran,Be sure thou couldst no moreIf thou hadst lived since hoary time began.A prayer and hymn closed the service.UNNERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Columbia Debate.The committee of the Oratorical} ssociation, com­posed of Messrs.
