No. 14CHICAGO, ILL., JANUARY 17, 1900.(tbfcago== 1Rortbwestern lDebate.Friday evening, January I r th, in the First-Methodist Episcopal church of Evanston, therepresentatives of the .University of Chicagoand of Northwestern University met in a semi­final contest for the championship of the Cen­tral Debating League. The question for debatewas, "Should House Bill No. 7864 become alaw?" Chicago supported the negative of thequestion, and the negative justly earned thevotes of two of the three judges. The Chicagopeople who were present thought, indeed, thatthe defenders of the maroon deserved a unan­imous decision; but, be that as it may, theywon the debate, the 5 to ° score of last autumnis partially avenged, and new laurels have beenwrested from our "nearest rival."Mr. Harry 0. Hill, Mr. George H. Parkin­son and Mr. J. E. Smiley appeared for N orth­western, while Mr. S. George Levy, Mr. GuyW Ross and Mr. J. D. Riley represented Chi­cago. The judges were: J. C. Jenkins, of theUnited States Circuit Court of Appeals in Mil­waukee; D. W. Comstock, of the 'Indiana Ap­pelate Court, and J. A. Barber, of the Court ofCommon Pleas, of Toledo. Promptly at eighto'clock Judge Thoman, chairman of the even­ing, introduced Mr. Hill, who opened thedebate for the affirmative.Mr. Hill gave a brief history of the question,outlined the position of the affirmative and de­clared that the bill had two objects, viz: therestriction of immigration and the admissioninto the country of a new and better class ofimmigrants. He asserted that immigrationwas a privilege, not a right, and that, therefore,we were violating no democratic principleswhen we enforced restrictive measures. Heasserted further that the ability required bythe bill-meant ability to acquire knowledge, tounderstand American laws and customs, and toassimilate the best of American life. He closedhis main debate with an argument againstilliteracy, showing how ignorance was inimical to the republic and the best interests of self"government. Mr. Hill's rebuttal speech wasweak, because. he could not speak without'notes, and because he generalized too much.Mr. Riley opened the discussion for the neg­ative. Mr. Riley, in replying to the affirma­tive's earnest plea setting forth the need forthe bill, asked the pertinent question, "Whyhas not rhe bill become a law?" He showedthat this was what might be termed a periodicbill, that a similar measure had come up inI854 and had appeared on several subsequentoccasions. He called attention to the fact thatthe bill consists of two distinct parts --the billproper and the Corliss amendment-and af­firmed that the "affirmative must prove thatboth these provisions should become a law."He said: "If they tell us that crime and pau­perism among our foreign-born demand such atest of restriction, they must show that it is theilliterate who is the crim inal and the pauper."He closed his argument by showing from sta­tistics that "our illiterate immigrants are notfound disproportionately in the populous east­ern or manufacturing sections of the country."Mr. Parkinson, speaking second for the affir­mative, showed the dangers of illiteracy andthe desirability of intelligence. He arguedthat the desirable immigrants had for fifteenyears been decreasing in numbers, as was shownby the fact that in 1885 Southern and EasternEurope had sent us 61,194 immigrants asagainst 272,°5° from Western and' NorthernEurope, while in I900 Southern and EasternEurope had sent us 307,404 immigrants ascompared with 90,075 from the Northern andWestern countries.; He proved by figures that crime is ten timesmore prevalent among illiterates than amongliterates and concluded with the assertion thatthe degraded and illiterate make the slums ofour cities. Mr. Parkinson was by far thestrongest member of his team. His rebuttal710speech was especially good and for a brief,space he came near to upsetting Chicago'sargument. Chicago people drew a sigh of re­lief when he had finished., Mr. Ross for- the negative called the affirrna­tive to the real question at issue, which was,"will not the exclusion of illiterate immigrantsshut out good people as well as bad ones­more good ones than bad ones?" He showedthat the larger percentage of illiterate immi­grants did not, as the affimative said, settle inthe slums, but rather engaged in agriculture.He contended that the affirmative's logicalcourse would be to exclude all Italians andother South Europeans, because all of themboth literate and illiterate live in the slumdistricts, and he quoted figures showing thatthe illiterates earn more money per annumthan do the literates. He closed with refer­ences to Ireland and India, whose peoplescan read and write, yet live in the most abjectsocial and economic conditions.Mr. Smiley in closing the main argument forthe affirmative said that there must be restric­tion, that this bill best suited the present con­ditions, and that it wasnot a final and ulteriormeasure. He reiterated the statement that themajority of im migrants settled in the East,and were employed in the sweat shops, thusdegrading the American workman and shuttinghim out from employment. He cited the dis­tressing conditions in the coal regions, andtraced all the evil to the cheap and illiteratelaborer from South Europe. He ended withthe plea that the bill was a safe guard of theAmerican home.Mr. Levy, cancluding the negative of thequestion, again called the affirmative to thereal points at issue, and demanded that theopposition bring forth some arguments infavor of the Corliss Amendment. He de­clared that the existing laws were sufficient forpurposes of restriction. He agreed that liter­acy was no sign of education, and that illiteracydid not mean incompetency and criminality.Conditions are different in Europe and honest,thrifty immigrants come to us unable to readand write, simply because they have been de­nied proper advantages. He made much ofthe point of Canadian retaliation which wouldfollow the passage of this bill, showing that it would seriously disturb the trade relations of1,700,000 American citizens and throw manythousands of workmen out of employment.He concluded his rebuttal by noting the factthat the bill was irretrievably lost in the _Sen­ate, because of its undesirable features.To sum it all up, Chicago won on form. Thesupporters of the maroon were consistentlystronger than their opponents. They had abetter grasp of the subject, more useable ma­terial in their' possession, more eloquence,more force, more oratorical ability. Theirargument showed more careful reasoning andtheir speeches more painstaking preparation.Their general manner and appearance wasmore finished, more polished, more effectivethan their opponents'. The men ot N orth­western, clearly, were outclassed.To pick from the Chicago trio one who sur­passed his colleagues would be difficult. Rileywas the most thoroughly in earnest, Ross themost logically argumentative, and Levy themost fully prepared, and also the most elo­quent. The latter would, perhaps, had gradesbeen given, have received the highest average.It is a strong, well balanced team, and onewhich will give "Old Michigan" a royal battlefor the ch a.npionship honors of the CentralDebating League.Michigan Defeats Minnesota.Michigan, by defeating Minnesota last Fri­day evening in the semi-final debate of theCentral Debating league, added another linkto her long chain of VIctories of this sort, andearned, moreover, a place in the finals of theleague. The question debated was, "Resolved,That it is unwise for the States to attempt totax personal property." Michigan upheld theaffirmative of the question. The debate wasclose, spirited and hard-fought. The Michiganmen, as usual, won on their excellent team,work and the finished, effective manner inwhich they presented their arguments. Mich­igan and Chicago will now meet in the finaldebate for the championship of the league.Appropriations for buildings at Harvard nowbeing built and' planned for will amount toalmost $1,000,000.711Students Invited .to Inauguration.Wishing to have American college studentsrepresented at the inauguration of PresidentMcKinley, the executive committee of inaugu­ral ceremonies has extended an invitation tothe student body of every college oruniversity in the country to participate in the. inaugural parade. Accompanying the invita­tion which Chicago received are the followingexplanatory remarks:The collegiate display is to be strictly non­partisan.There will be no maximum or minimum limitto each delegation, the only requirement beingthat each body be uniformed or decorated insome manner which displays its college colors,introducing any unique feature they may seefit to adopt.The order in line of march is to be deter­mined by date of charter under the officialseal.Cheering will be confined exclusively to thetime when the students of the respective col­leges are passing the President's reviewingstand.Horns or other instruments for the purposemerely of making a noise will not be allowedin the parade.It is requested that bands be brought fromas many colleges as possible.On hearing favorably from any institution aspecial committee of three or more will at oncebe appointed and all necessary arrangementsfor accomodation will be made. .Transportation lines will give remarkablylow rates.Tickets to the inaugural ball will be reservedfor the college men, if early application ismade.An inter-collegiate reception will be held onthe evening of March 5th.The committee wishes to learn as early aspossible Chicago's action on this matter, andthe approximate number of students in thedelegation if one be sent.The invitation has already been accepted byYale University. The University of New York,however, has decided not to send a delegation,on the ground that it will make too. great abreak in the regular collegiate work. President-Harper has referred the matter to the studentcouncils. The Rush Medical Convocatton.At the convocation of the Rush MedicalCollege, held Thutsday, January 10, PresidentWilliam R. Harper spoke on the "Future ofthe College." He referred to the progress that.had been made during the past two years, andpredicted that another two years would seeRush one of the foremost medical schools inthe country. He suggested that a new systemmight be introduced, viz: that of permittingstudents to elect both their courses and in­structors, very much after the method in use atthe University.A few remarks were made by Dr. Goodspeedof the University, and by Dr. Hyde, of Rush.Dean Frank Billings conferred the degree ofM. D. upon P. J. Little, O. C. Higgins J. E.McGinnis, and Carl Mulky. Since the affilia­tion of the medical school with the U. of C.the convocations are held quarterly, but as maybe seen, very few men avail themselves of theopportunity for a mid-winter graduation.The Registrar of the College, Mr. James H.Harper, states that since the affiliation withthe University the attendance ,has fallen offsomewhat, owing to the more exacting entrancerequirements under the new rule. All applica­tions for admission have to pass through thehands of Dean Phellows before they can beaccepted, and over a hundred names have beenrefused by him this year. The total attendancethis year is approximately 1,050, while that oflast year was 1,093.A Good Government Club.Last Friday afternoon a few students inter­ested in public affairs had an informal meetingfor the purpose of considering the matter oforganizing a Student's Good Government Club.The bringing of prominent men to address thestudent body on public questions, the manage­ment of debates and a limited participation inlocal politics were some of the ideas developedin the discussion. It was the unanimous senti­ment however, that nothing should be done un­til after further deliberation, and a committeeof which J. S. Young of the Department of Po­litical Science, is chairman, was appointed toconfer with members of the faculty and to cor­respond with similar clubs in other universities.712An Alumnus to be Proud ot..'The following appeared in a recent issue ofthe Saturday Evening _ Post:"Twenty-three years of age and holding an im­portant place with the Philippine Commission!This statement applies to Mr. Lawrence M.Jacobs, a year and a half ago a student at theUniversity of Chicago.The first intimation which the Secretary oftheTreasury received concerning the existence otsuch a person as Mr. Jacobs came to that offi­cial in a letter from President Harper, of theUniversity of Chicago. President Harperwrote that he had a young man twenty-twoyears of age who was a marvel as a student ofpolitical economy, and that he would be grati­fied if a place should be found for him.The department was not in the business ofhir­ing young graduates to fill responsible positions,but the letter was so exceptionally enthusiastic; ILA WRENCE E. JACOBS.that the Secretary wrote to have the youngman sent on. About the only position not un­der the Civil Service rules was one under' theAuditor for the Department of War. Thoughthis place paid about $1200 a year it couldhardly be regarded in the light of a positionrequiring an abnormal amount of political .and economical knowledge. It was looked uponmore as a high-class clerical job, and the Sec­retary smiled grimly as he saw a mental pic­ture of the young giant in economics when in­troduced to his new duties. The office wasfilled with files placed there about the close ofthe Civil War and dusted once for good andall about two years after that time. Thosewho were informed of the young student's in­troduction took occasion to satisfy. their curi­osity as to how the young man would "take it."They watched him curiously, but he neverwavered, showed the white feather, or indi­cated that this was not the position he hadbeen longing for and dreaming about for years.He took hold of his work as if it were of theutmost importance, and won the admiration ofthe Secretary.The Secretary watched the progress of theyoung man and came to the conclusion that hewas ·in need of someone who, when se-nt to theCongressional Library or elsewhere for infor­mation, could bring it back intelligently diges­ted. - It was impossible to secure an importantappointment for Mr. Jacobs without calling aspecial examination. However, this was finallyarranged, and young Jacobs was told that un­less he should stand first he would have nochance for the coveted position.An examination in financial history, politicaleconomy and statistics was called, youngJacobs took the test with nearly forty others,stood first on the list and was appointed to theplace.Later came a request from the PhilippineCommission for a statistican. There was notthe slightest question as to who was the properman for the position, and Mr. Jacobs was im­mediately appointed."Lawrence Merton Jacobs graduated from the_University in r899, and so is remembered bymany who are still about the campus. Hewas amember of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity, and at­tained prominence during his four years in col­lege by means of his oratorical abili-ty. In ad­dition to gaining a Senior College scholarshipin public speaking and a second prize in thehome contest of the Northern OratoricalLe�gue, he. m�de the, Chicago- Minnesota andChicago-Michigan debating teams in the Will­ter of r899. He also belonged to the Dra­matic Club.Just Ordinary �Ada Spencewell came up to the Universityfrom Mount Claire Academy. When she de­parted from Mount Claire one October morn­ing, there was a crowd of her friends at therailroad station to see her off. Kittie andAlice and Eleanor and a half dozen ethers ofher class-mates were chatting incessantly ather. Professor Gleason of the Academy waspouring serious advice into her ear and herfather stood fondly looking on her from a dist­ance. It was a moment of overwhelming self­consciousness for Ada. She joined in thelaughter of the girls, strove to reply to thesober remarks of Professor Gleason I but feltabove all a whirling in her head, a lightness,that made the little station and the peopleabout her seem unreal and vague to her sight.She boarded - the train and the scene fadedaway with the fluttering ot handkerchiefs anda last glimpse of a little group of faces on thestation platform turned toward her.Ada-"sweet Ada," she was called amongher friends in Mount Claire-was a tall, wil­lowy giri, who generally wore soft greys andwas often found by her associates alone in thetwilight or in some dark shadowed corner gaz­ing silently and dreamily upward. She wasthe pride of all the intellectual people inMount Claire. In the Academy the teacherslooked upon ber with admiration, and fromthe hints that were dropped from time to timeby th�m, it- was generally understood thatsomething extraordinary was to be expectedof her in the University.Ada was aware of the estimate that had beenmade upon her, and all through the autumnquarter at the University she worked as shehad never worked before to ·win a scholarship.From time to time she got letters from Kittieand Alice and Professor Gleason--all filled withadmiration and praise and expressions of faithin her ability to ."carry off the honors," as theyphrased it.At the end. of the quarter Ada was not oneof those who were given scho:larships. She wasdisappointed, but she was. so anxious to gethome and tell all about the University to herfriends that her· failure did not rest on hermind long. Ada thought the station platform at MountClaire looked singularly deserted when shestepped onto it from the train one Saturdaylate in December. Her father was the onlyone who was waiting to meet her, and he waswrapped tightly in his ulster and did not seemto be exceptionally pleased to see her as shehad expected. He was a little gruff and dis­posed to be silent, Ada thought.As they got into the buggy Ada asked;"Why didn't the girls come down to thestation 7""I guess they are doin' something else," re­plied her father.No further word was spoken until theyreached home. Then her father spoke:"You didn't get the scholarship?"Ada looked at him a moment."Why, no. I wrote you that." She noticedthe set expression of his countenance. "Why?"she continued, "It doesn't make so much dif­ference. I tried-very hard--"Her father turned away darkly and sighed."Professor Gleason don't see why you didn'tget it," he said. "He's awfully disappointed.""And the girls-what do they think?""Well, if I were you I wouldn't have muchto do with those girls any more. They've beensaying--but never mind; perhaps, we did settoo much store---"Ada quickly drew her gaze away _fr.om hisface, and secretly brushed away a hot tearfrom her eye. She missed a few words fromher father's speech, but caught the last ones-­"just ordinary." There was a momentary pic­ture in her mind then of a crowd ·of faces onthe station platform--oh, a lon-g time ago, itseemed.During the past year the University of Wi s:onsin Golf club has secured a- good nine hole­course for its use, and has attained a member­ship of one hundred. It is the intention of thclub to select a team from among its best pIaers next spring and if possible to arrangematches with the clubs of Michigan, N ort h­western, Chicago aad other universities. Un­der these circumstances it would seem advis­able that our golf club should be revived intime to accept any such challenge that mayarrive.714EDITORIAL BOARD.GEORGE A. YOUNG,DONALD R.

The Chicagorepresentatives, Messrs. Ross, Riley, and Levy,deserve commendation for their conscientiouswork which culminated in the defeat of suchstrong opponents as the Northwestern team.More than this they have placed Chicagofor the first time in two years in the positionof a candidate for championship debatinghonors.In full recognition of the debating powers$1.75 of the University of Michigan, our opponents inthe final debate, Chicago' s chances for successseem not at all slim. Michigan has a systemof training debaters by compelling a man towin his way through six debates before repre­senting the University, which puts us at a greatdisadvantage. Nor again, is there such astronginterest in debating here as at Michi­gan. N evertheless, the team which will repre­sent Chicago in the final debate is the same asthat which won against Northwestern, a goodteam and experienced; and the chances arethat the subject for debate will be the SubsidyBill again. Messrs. Ross, Riley and Levyought to, and doubtless will do considerablybetter under these circumstances than againstNorthwestern, and the WEEKLY thinks thatthis will be good enough to win. At any rate,it cannot help looking forward to April 6, witha little optimism..50The attention of undergraduates is called tothe invitation, explainedThe at length elsewhere mInvitation. this issue, to take part inthe inaugural ceremonies,which has been extended to Chicagostudents. Whether this invitation be acceptedor not rests with the student body. Everyonewho is l.ifted out of his usual rut of indifferenceby this news, whether he be in favor of, oragainst the proposition should immediatelymake his sentiments known to the President ofeither of the Student Councils. Such an ex"pression of opinion is necessary and impera­tive.The WEEKLY, for its own part, casts an em­phatic vote against acceptance. If there are afew-which we doubt-who feel a mad desireto make this pilgrimage to Mecca, all well andgood, let them go; they will not be missed.But most of us can make better use of our timeand money. To allow the work of a consider­able number to be broken into, even to attendsuch an event as an Inauguration, which takesplace only once every four years, we regard asvery little short of folly. The fact that the in­auguration will take place a short time beforethe examinatioris of the winter quarter is initself' an argument strong enough to veto theproceedings.Besides, we object to the idea which. seemsto be current that a college student is merely astrange animal which can be whistled out ofhis den and made to prance for the amusementof the populace, decked in his own peculiarcolors and yelling his own peculiar whoop.And, finally, being advocates of a Jeffersoniansimplicity, we have a distaste for triumphalprocessions.The athletes of the University, and es­pecially new men tryingAI! Round De- for the track team, mustvelopment, not become one-sided intheir development if theyexpect to do credit to the maroon.It is natural for a man who is training forthe long-distance runs, the sprints, the polevault, the shot put, or any other of the trackand field events, to specialize too much, to.devote all of his energy to the development ofone set of muscles, and only one. In this ten­dency there is a great danger to the man andto the team.Coach Stagg has realized this so forciblythat he is trying to correct the tendency whenit has been shown by the men in the tracksquad, He is putting the men through a half­hour of hard word in calisthenics four times aweek. Every afternoon at three o'clock helines up about twenty or thirty of the men onthe "gym" floor and makes them jump up anddown, flexing their thighs and exercising theirabdominal muscles, much to their discomfitureand greatly to the delight of the gallery.Professor Stagg .expects that, in addition tothis exercise, the men will use the pulley weights to develop their arms and shoulders.Then they are to work hard on their specialevents. Combining these three divisions oftheir work, our new athletes should become allaround men physically. And it is whisperedby those who witnessed the performance of themaroon athletes at London last summer that itwould not hurt the stars if they, too, shouldstrive with the same end in view.Northern Oratorical League Contest.There will be a home contest in the last weekof February to choose a speaker and alternateto represent the University in an oratoricalcontest to be held by the Northern OratoricalLeague under the management of the StateUniversity of Iowa at Iowa City in the firstweek of May. The League consists of theUniversity of Chicago, University of Michigan,University of Minnesota, University of Wis­consin, State University of Iowa, NorthwesternUniversrty and Oberlin College. It is hoped;-rarge number of students will try and thatthere will be a hard contest in order to insure. a good oration and a good speaker. The finalprize given by the League is $150.00 and therewill probably also be a prize given by theUniversity to the winner of the home contest.All undergraduates are eligible. The orationswhich are limited to 2,000 words, must be in thehands of the committee by February 1St. Ber­tram G.

The best all-aroundkicker on the teams of 1900 was Cure of La­fayette. . The best punters were Inglis of Wes­leyan, Mattis of Princeton, Belknap of An­napolis, and Dupee of Yale. The best dropkickers were Matthewson of Bucknell, Under­hill and Mattis of Princeton, and Sharpe ofYale.' Burnett of Harvard was the best longdistance place kicker.

Harmsworth, proprietor ofthe London Daily Mail, who has very original ideas asto how a twentieth century newspapeJ," should, be run, toedit one issue of the paper. ' " ,Athletics.A schedule of base ball games which shouldprove very attractive to candidates for theteam, has been announced this week by Direc­tor Stagg. Last year the men complained thatthey had to. play in too many games, the totalbeing thirty-three. So this year only sometwenty-five contests have been arranged for.* * *Probably the most attractive feature of theschedule, from the point of view of the candi­dates, is the Eastern trip. This will be takenthe first week in June, and after the returnfrom it there will be no more games until afterthe :Spring quarter "exams." The most im­portant ga.me on the Eastern trip will be withHarvard on June 4. On the way to Cambridgethe team will stop at Providence for a gamewith Brown, which university has come to beone of our regular rivals. The base ball menwill leave Chicago Saturday night, June I, theday of the Western Inter-collegiate track meetand will play Brown on Monday.From Cambridge they will go to WorcesterMass., for. a game with Holy Cross, which col­lege always has a star base ball team. Anothergame in the extreme east will be played, but sofar Director Stagg has not closed the negotia­tions for it. Some of our base ball speculatorssay we will play Columbia at New York city.On the return West the team will stop at AnnArbor to play the third game in a series offour during the season with Michigan. Thatgame will be on Saturday of the Eastern tripweek.* **For the students and alumni of the Universi­ty, as well as the players, the schedule is veryattractive. Altogether twelve games will beplayed on Marshall Field, and they are so ar­ranged that the interest of a large number ofrooters should be aroused. Of the five gamesplayed during April four will occur on ourgrounds, so that the students will have an op­portunity to watch the development of theteam. In May there will be two games a week,the majority of them on Marshall Field.* **Then on June I T the season is to 'close witha game which should have unusual interest. Inthe first place, it will be a grand occasion, as717this will be the Decennial game, an athleticevent in the week of celebration over the com­pletion of the tenth year of the University'slife. And then, too, itwill be the final meetingof the season with our old adversary, Michigan.* * *The following is the present schedule:April 6-Physicians and Surgeons at Mar-shall Field.April 10- Nh'eaton at Marshall Field.April I6-Michigan at Marshall Field.April 20--Northwestern at Evanston.April 27-Northwestern at Marshall Field.May I-Illinois at Marshall Field.May 4--Notre Dame at Marshall Field.May 8-Illinois at Marshall Field.May I I-Wisconsin at Madison.May I5-Michigan at Ann Arbor.May I7-Illinois at Champaign.May I8-Purdue at Lafayette.May 22--Illinois at Marshall Field.May 25-Wisconsin at Marshall Field.May 29-Iowa at Marshall Field.June I-Northwestern at Evanston.June 3-Brown at Providence.June 5-Harvard at Cambridge.June 6-Holy Cross at Worcester.June 8-Michigan at Ann Arbor.June I 5--N orth western at Marshall Field.June I7-Michigan at Marshall Field.Games will also be given to Beloit andOberlin.* **There will be a dual track meet with Wis­consin in connecti on with the game on May 25The Dramatic Club has secured the servicesof Mr'; H. Stanley Davies, and under his direc­torship will give a play the first week in March,The name of the play, the exact date of pre­sentation and the names of the actors will begiven at a later time. It is hoped that thisplay will surpass in excellence any before givenat the University.A meeting of the Kenwood Institute. Clubwas held on Friday. Officers for this yearwere elected as follows: President, Miss Small,Vice- President, Miss Shailer, Secretary, MissPatrick; Treasurer, Miss' Hooper. The oldermembers of the club now in college are Misses,Grant, Belden, Remick, Stetler and Bristal.718MAJOR.S AND rIINOR.S.Mr. Parker, superintendent of the grounds, says thatthe work of finishing the annex to Foster Hall is pro­gressing rapidly. The plaster is being put on now. Heexpects the annex will be ready for occupancy byMarch rst,Trials will probably be held this week Thursday at4:I5 p. m. in the gymnasium for the Freshmen relayteam and Friday at the same hour for the Sophomoreteam. Notice of the tr als will be posted on the bulletinboards. The race between these claps teams will prob­ably take place on Friday of next week. Those who suc­ceed in making the teams will be allowed to \\ ear theclass numerals.Last Monday morning the young women of FosterHall were threatened with a sad predicament. It wasdiscovered by. one of them that the workmen of theannex' had removed the railing and were just about todemolish the- rest of the steps at 'the entrance to thedormitory. The cause for this action was that the stepsof the annex had been completed and the men evidentlythought Foster Hall did not need two entrances. Theydid not, however, stop to consider that the new stepscould not be used at present, and that the removal ofthe old ones would force the girls to gain admittance tothe Hall through the dark Kelly basement. After thegirls had protested in vain, they summoned Miss Rey­nolds, who proved equal to the occasion. By means ofpersuasive argument she induced the men to stop theirwork of destruction, and thus prevented a serious cat­astrophe.Track athletes at Northwestern University are con­gratulating themselves upon the prospect of a valuableaddition which they expect will soon be made to their.forces. Dvorak, the star pole vaulter of the Uuiver,sityof Michigan, expects to enter the Northwestern LawSchool this year. He has carried the Maize and Bluefor two years, consequently he can compete under thePurple for a like length of time, according to the Inter­collegiate rules. Dvorak set the mark for the West ateleven feet six inches last June.William F. Bender has taken charge of two gymna­sium classes which were formerly under the direction of .Mr. Horace Butterworth. Mr. B�nder comes fromNewark, where he was an assistant in the Newark Y. M.C. A. gymnasium. He is now training at the SecterianInstitute and Training School, Central Y. M. C. A.building, Chicago. Mr. Butterworth will be absent onvacation for three months, and during that time his fouro'clock and five o'clock classes under Mr. Bender will beengaged in general bo.Iy-building exercises; in the firstclass, specilization in wrestling will be offer�d.Professor Blanchard is spending his vacation in Cali­fornia.The first of the lectures on Military Science to be de­livered by Lt.

Now, we realize hereat Chicago that we are young, that we can't hope afteran existence of only ten years to compete in prestige,prominence and attendance with other institutions' thathave a hundred years or more of experience and renownto back them; but we do want our just deserts. In com­paring this statement of the attendance with that in theAnnual Register of last year, which is wholly authentic,we find that they credit us with 342 graduate studentsinstead of the 1008 which is our due, with 177 divinitystudents instead of 394, and that our 254 UniversityCollege students and 6+8 unclassified students are en­tirely overlooked. Finally, they say that our totaluniversity influence is 2564, whereas we claim 3,183.With the latter figures as a basis, we are the seventhlargest university in the country, only Harvard, Mich­igan, Minnesota, University of Georgia, Columbia, andpossibly California surpassing us in number of students.As gross mistakes as those noted here ought to be recti­fied, and the WEEKLY will do its part in informing theUniversity body of its own real importance.There are 90 new matricu1antes this quarter.Chicago Orchestra.The eleventh concert of the Chicago orches­tra under the direction of Theodore Thomaswill be given at the Auditorium, Friday after­noon, January 18, at 2:15 o'clock, and Saturdayevening, Jan. 19, at 8: I 5.The program will be as follows:Sympony No.8, B minor «unfinished) SCHUBERTALLEGRETTO MODERATO.ANDANTE CON MOTO.Concerto for Pianoforte No. I, tB. flat minor, Opus 23, f TSCHAIKOWSKYALLEGRO NON TROPPO E MOLTO MAESTOSO.ANDANTINO SEMPLICE. -ALLEGRO CON Fuoco.INTERMISSION.Symphonic Prologue to Sophocles'"King Oedipus," Opus II,Mephisto Waltz,"Die Meistersinger," Act III, MAX SCHILLINGSLSZTWAGNERINTRODUCTION--PROCESSION OF THE GUILDS­DAlkE OF THE ApPRENTICES-PROCESSION OFTHE MEISTER SINGERS-FINALE.Soloist: Mr. Ossip Gabrilowitsch.TR� EARL & WILSON'SCOLLARS &CUFFS__ THE BEST MADE719Excellent board; home cooking; 5635 Lex­ington avenve, one-half block from the Uni­versity.
