No. 15CHICAGO, ILL., JANUARY 24, 1900.jfraternit� jLife .at �be Ulni"ersit�.By Assistant Professor Francis W. Shepardson.On the last night of September, 1892, a com­pany of Chicago Betas journeyed to Evanston,where in the hall of the Northwestern chapter,six candidates were initiated under a dispensa­tion as a nucleus for a chapter in the Univer­sity of Chicago, which was to open its doorsto students on the following morning. Thezeal manifested by members of the Beta ThetaPi in thus early looking after the interests oftheir fraternity in the new institution wasmatched by similar activity on the part ofalumni of the chapters of Delta Kappa Epsi­lon and Phi Kappa Psi, once existing inthe former Chicago University, which closedits doors in 1886 because of financial em­barrassment. Inquiry had been made on thepart of alumni of the Omega chapter of Psi Up­silon also, and it was evident from the signs ofthe times that the University of Chicago wasbound to be the home of a large number offraternities.Right at the outset, however, an unexpectedopposition developed among members of thefaculty, the leaders of the anti-fraternity cru­sade coming from Harvard and Cornell, andfinding reinforcement from those whose train­ing had been in colleges without Greek repre­sentation. Some of the fraternity men werelukewarm in the contest which developed, andfor a time it seemed not improbable that fra­ternities might be put under the ban. Afterconsiderable discussion the fraternity men wonthe day. although two permanent results of thecontest were left in the form of a preliminaryperiod �f probation and the "house system"Under the period of probation idea fraternitymen are forbidden to pledge "brbar ians" untilafter they have been in residence at the Uni­versity for at least three months, and further­more have successfully completed at leastthree majors of work. It is doubtful whetherthis rule is strictly adhered to by any of the fraternities. Students are pledged in the pre­paratory schools an d come to the quadranglesalready promised to a fraternity. Others arehandled irregularly by alumni members or byfriends from other chapters who live in Chi­cago. In some cases, where the acceptance ofthe invitation is perfectly certain, the candid­ate is definately pledged; but the pledge buttonand colors are withheld until after the final dayof examinations. The rapidity with whichnew students display fraternity insignia on thatday is sufficient proof of the habit of violationof the rule against pledging. Nevertheless itis true that on the whole the rule works well,giving the new student a chance to look arounda little, and enabling the fraternity men to siftwith care. During the past year a propositionto abolish this period of probation met withmuch opposition from the fraternity men them­selves.The "house system" is peculiar to the Uni­versity of Chicago. It seems to have beensuggested at the time of the unexpected oppo­sition to the admission of fraternities which hasalready been mentioned. It was felt that stud­ents would group themselves together, frater­nities or no fraternities. Might there not besome supervision and oversight of such group­ing on the part of the University? Why notorganize the roomers in each University dor­mitory into an association, membership inwhich should be elective and subject to defi­nate rules such as might be valid in a traternitychapter? This organization, corning from theUniversity, would be under University super­vision, would be easily subject to discipline,should occasion require, and might solve theproblem of student association, which seemedto press for solution in the form of Greek­letter societies. It was an easy step to allowthe formation of groups of other students, notliving in University dorm itories, provided such• ! 726students agreed to come under the rules laiddown for the organizations of roomers on thequadrangles, which were known as "University_ .Iiouses."When fraternities were at last tolerated, theneach 'fraternity was asked to come' under thesame rules of organization, and the house sys­tem of the University of Chicago was com­plete. The requirements in the case of a houseare simple. Each house must submit its by­.laws to the Administrative Board of StudentOrganizations for approval. Each must havea "head" and a "counselor." The tendency isstrong to make both of these officers alumnimembers of the fraternity who are on the fac­ulty. The "head" is the recognized represen­tative of the house in official correspond­ence, he is addressed .by the authorities in caseanything irregular occurs in a house, or the co­operation of the house is desired on any U ni­versity occasion of importance. He naturallytakes much interest in the affairs of the house,is frequently consulted by the members in ref­erence to house matters, and becomes a sort ofadvisor, thus taking from the "counselor" someof the natural prerogatives of his office. Inactual practice both "head" and' 'counselor"are consulted freely by the members of thehouse, so that the student members have thebenefit of the advice and suggestion of alumni,where without these there might be seriousmistakes. Recalling the statements madeabove, one is prepared to find houses of differ­ing purposes and organization. "The Disci­ples Divinity House" and the "CumberlandPresbyterian House," for example, are organ­izations of students of the denominationsnamed. I f any meetings are ever held theytake the form of annual or semi-annual recep­tions. Denominational interest is the movingforce, and all who apply are welcome to mem­bership."Snell House,", "Kelly House," "BeecherHouse," "Foster House," "Green House,""South Divinity House," "Middle DivinityHouse" and "North House" are dormitory or­ganizations of students who reside in the hallsso named. Members are elected as in a so­ciety, and some sort of form of initiation ispassed through. In practical working, how­ever, there can be no selection of members,since rooms are rented by the University on the principal of "first come, first served," and aroomer in a dormitory probably suffers nogreat hardship if he has all the benefits of thebuilding and still is refused the chance of ini­tiation into. the dreadful mysteries of the tech­nical "house." A third variety of house isrepresented by "Washington House," "LincolnHouse" and "Spellman House." In a city col­lege there are always many students who carrytheir lunch with them each day. The build­ings of the University are crowded, and as yetthere are poor facilities for the noon hour.The needs of this class led to the organizationof eating clubs, which have been given roomsfor club purposes. These rooms are fitted" uplike many a fraternity hall, with some easychairs, a few pictures, a table, and window seatsor couches. The rooms are not centrally lo­cated, however, and are not as popularas they might be if conditions were alittle more favorable. Still, these three eatingclubs, two for men and one for women, havemade a place for themselves in the house sys­tem. It is interesting to note that shortlyafter the organization of the first of thesehouses, most of the members formed them­selves into a local society, which IS now achapter of one of the college fraternities.The advent of the fraternities was contem­poraneous with the open-ing of the University.There is no doubt that Beta Theta Pi was thepioneer, and for a while it was disposed toclaim priority of time in college publications.But the representatives of other organizationsdisputed the claim on the ground that theBetas were not regularly chartered, but were"under dispensation,') a method of organiza­tion not recognized by them. There was someunpleasantness for a while, but finally the ques­tion was referred to a committee of five alumni,consisting of one representative each fromBeta Theta Pi, Phi Kappa Psi and Delta KappaEpsilon, the.se three choosing a member of PsiUpsilon and a member of Alpha Delta Phi tocooperate with them. After careful consider­ation it was decided that no claim of prioritycould be founded on the fact of existance of achapter in the old Chicago University, norcould the date of initiation of individualmembers be considered, but that the date ofactual establishment of a. chapter in the newUniversity must be the determiningfactor. r727U rider the 'above ruling, which seemed on'l�he .whole fair, the fratern�ties wer.e given ran�;1.In tune, Delta Kappa Epsilon, PhI Kappa PSI:',and Beta Theta Pi. Since that time chapters ,.i.of other fraternities have been established as '�follows, AJpha Delta Phi, Sigma Chi, Phi DeltaTheta, Psi Upsilon, Delta Tau Delta, Chi Psiand Delta Upsilon. For a number of yearsthere was a chapter of Sigma Nu, but its mem­bers became dissatisfied with their fraternityand withdrew, the majority of them now beingenrolled on t hc lists of another fraternity.There is also a local society the Order of theDragon's Tooth, which may swing out as aGreek-letter fraternity chapter almost any day.In addition to the chapters of chartered fra­ternities, the men students of the Universityha ve four local societies, which may be classi­fied as a Freshman society, a Sophomore so­ciety, a Junior society, and a Senior society,although these familiar terms of the ordinarycollege do not find use at Chicago. The U ni­versity has no class system. Students corn­plete their work after having a certain numberof credits, and the completion of these creditsmay bring graduation at anyone of five timesin the year. Students who have eighteen cred­i[:) or less are called Junior college students,those with credits between nineteen andthirty-six are called Senior college students.But the "Three-Quarters Club" is in reality aFreshman society. It seems to an outsider tobe self-perpetuating, the sophomore membersselecting from the company of incoming stu­dents those who by reason of family or frater­nity connections or athletic skill .or otherfavorable consideration seem likely to becomeprominent members of the student-body.Those who are considered as candidates by theleading fraternities seem to be sure of electionto this club. The initiation ceremonies usuallytake- place in connection with some great foot­ball game, aud afford amusement to the wait­ing spectators between "halves.""The Sphinx" is a Sophomore society. It isyounger than the others, and has made no par­ticular stir in the college world, although it isreasonable to suppose that the idea behind itis a sifting of the, members of the "Three­Quarters Club," wrth- correction of any mistakeif perchance one man has been too much pushed forward, or!anolher: perhaps 'has proved hisworth among the students even without theearlier recognition implied by election to thefreshman organization."The Order of the Iron Mask" is the J uniorsociety. The plan of selection of membershipis much like that mentioned in the case of theother societies just described, if the observa­tions of an outsider may be taken 'as presum­ably correct. The members of the ,"IronMask" are leaders in college life, and they per­form a service for the college community inpublishing the Cap and Gown, the illustratedannual of the University.The climax of the local societies is reachedwhen one secures election to the "Owl andSerpent," a Senior society, obviously foundedon the Yale idea. This; society has kept veryclose to a lofty standard' right from the start.The members have, been caref utly selected,with an apparent id-ea of having representedthe best in every department of University life.Not many members are selected .each year;fraternity jealousy does not seem to affect thedecisions; and there has come to be a: generalfeeling in the University that no student getsan election to "Owl and Serpent" unless hehas won his place by leadership during his col­lege career.The question of fraternities for women wasadverselynettled at the beginning of theUniversity's life. There were 'attempts to startchapters, and in cases quite afight was made forrecognition, but the ban has 'been strictly main­tained. The women students have their or­ganizatio ns, however. They have' excitingcontests for members. To all intents and pur­poses the clubs are fraternity chapters, but thetie of relationship with the chartered Greek­letter societies is wanting. The organizationsare popular and m ernbershi p is prized. "TheMortar Board," "The Esoteric," "The Q.uad­ranglers" "The Sigma Club" "The WyverrrClub"and "Phi Beta Delta" are their name's� Thewomen also sustain "Nu Pi Kappa" an honorsociety which apparently seeks to hold for thefair sex the place occupied' by the "Owl and'Serpent" among the men, The ancient Greek­letter society of Phi Beta Kappa is representedby the Beta of Illinois chapter, which is now -inits third year of life.The Woman's Weekly.In accordance with the precedent estab­lished last winter the editors of the WEEKLYhave decided to place the responsibility of is­suing one number of the paper in the hands ofthe women of the University. For that oneweek all the work of editing and illustratingat least will be attended to by them, and theregular staff will lend its assistance only whenasked.The selection of a representative board ofeditors from among so great a number ofwomen students has been a task of no littledifficulty, and was undertaken by the WEEKLYwith considerable misgiving. The matter wasdefinitely settled only after some three weeksof earnest cogitation, by the appointment ofMisses Grace Johnson '01, Nellie Williams, '01Helen Brandeis '02, Cornelia Simrall Smith '02'Mary Isabelle Brush, '02, Elizabeth Belden '02,Belle Upton Halstead '02, Hilda MildredFrench '02, Lena P. Small '03, Narcissa Cox'03, Alice R. Corbin, '03, Charlotte Rust Leon­ard '03, Hester Ridlon '03, and Edith BradfordWiles '04. It is believed that included in thisnumber there are to be found women who aretruly representative both of the student bodyas a whole and of most of its constituent parts.When these appointments had been made,and acceptances received from the various onesconcerned, there remained only the task ofcalling a meeting for the election of officers.This meeting was held at 1:00 last Tuesday inCobb, and resulted in the election of MissN arcissa Cox to the position of managing edi­tor and Miss Charlotte Rust Leonard to thatof associate' editor. It now devolves uponthe women to determine when their WEEKLYwill make its appearance, and what it will con­tain.Cap and Gown Notice.It is desired by the managers of the Cap andGown that the fraternities, sororities and clubshave their pictures, with membership rolls,prepared as soon as possible.

'The men who' "make" the musical clubs andkeep up in their studies this winter have a most.interesting season before them. During thisquarter they will appear in club concerts of theregular sort, and then will spend the springvacation week in a delightful trip south, goingas a comic opera company. On that trip theywill proceed as far as Atlanta, Ga., and willappear before ten audiences in six differentStates.Already the Glee, Mandolin and Banjo clubsare wen organized and prepared to give con­certs which will be a credit to the University.All but four of the ten men who received no­tices from the deans at the opening of thequarter have qualified, the places of the unfor­tunates have been filled, and there are now anumber of substitutes on the waiting list. Themen are doing good team work under the va­rious -leaders, aridthe officers in turn are work­ing well together.,The Mandolin Club has already made its bowto the public. Last Friday evening at the Ply­mouth Congregational Church it rendered aprogram which was very well received. RobertWhite has been coaching the mandolin players.The opening performance of the combinedorganizations will be given at Windsor Park,Friday evening, January 31, in the interests ofa church society at that suburb. This concertwill be followed by several others before differ­ent clubs in the city. The event of the yearfor the clubs, the annual concert, will be givenFriday evening, February 12, at Central MusicHall. The regular season will not close untilFebruary 22, it being expected that severalminor concerts will be given in the city afterthe Central Music Hall perforrnance.:_. The Southern trip is to be a reward for thehard work of the men during the winter.Comic opera will be the bill at all the perform­ances on the trip except the one at Atlanta,where the Central Music Hall concert is to berepeated. There are thirty men on the musicalclubs, and forty are to be taken South. Thethirty members and the substitutes will ofcourse be given the preference.The comic opera to be presented in theSouthern States, although containing somefeatures from the "Academic Alchemist," will be, in the main, 'a,' new creation. Miss MarjorieBenton Cooke, '98, who has written severalclever plays for University performers, is nowat work on a new opera,. which will be com­pleted within a few days. Some of the specialfeatures from the" Academic Alchemist" whichwill be repeated are the Antropomorphic Au­tomata and the Golf Ballet. In the ballet thesame costumes used last season will be worn,and several of the men who danced last yearare already in training to appear as balletgirls before the elite of the South. Perry J.Payne is training them. Charles Hogeland,who was such a pretty favorite as the PremiereDanseuse last winter, will accompany thetroupe' and again flutter through his "stunt."A Southern trip has been planned for themusical clubs every year since they came intoexistence at the University. This time it is anassured fact. Manager Kelso made a tripSouth during the holidays and enlisted the aidof a number of organizations whose membersare to have our boys to appear for the benefitof charities in their cities. Most of the con­tracts are signed and Mr. Kelso has announcedthe following schedule:March 22, Indianapolis, In d.; March 23, Cin­cinnati, 0.; March 25, Chattanooga, Tenn.;March 26, Atlanta, Ga. (glee club concert);March 27, Greenville or Columbia, S. c.; March28, Spartansburg, S. C.; March 29, Asheville,N. c., March 30, Asheville, N. C. (matinee);April I, Hamilton or Dayton, O.The first performance comes on the last dayof "exams" for the winter quarter, and ar­rangements have had to be made to have themen excused from them. Social entertain­ments will be given in honor of the men inmost of the cities.Owing to an oversight the list of men resid­ing at the Sigma Chi fraternity house wasomitted from the "Directory" published in thelast number of the WEEKLY. The house inquestion is situated at 5732 Washington av­nue, and its inmates are B. R. Bell, Max Jonas,C. W. Ervin, M. A. Cleveland, H. B. Slackand E. D.

Gallion & Burr, the oldpublishers of the "Weekly," and the new managerment is not responsible for anything that may bedone in the matter.The WEEKLY has two rather' interesting an­nouncements to make to itsreaders. The first, and per­the most important, relatesThe WeeklyAnnounces.to the second annual women's edition of the paper, which it is plannedto issue this quarter.The Women's Weekly of last year was suchan overwhelming success, and appeared toanswer so well-developed a popular demand.. ,as seemingly quite :to warrant a repetition Ofthe experiment. And if the very gratifyingreception accorded the 1900 effort was partlyowing to the novelty of the thing, we hopethat the 19°1 women's edition will be madeequally welcome because of its greater merit. Last winter the women of the Univer-sity werecalled upon to put forth their Weekly afteronly a short "period for preparation, and withno models of 'previous 'seasons to help them.This quarter conditions are more propitious.Naturally, with so large anumber of womenstudents to select from, it has· been, somewhatdifficult to sift out those' most deserving ofrecognition, but, thanks to the kindness ,_ ofcertain members of the _ English. departmentand to the various sororities, the WEEKLY feelsthat an able and truly representative board 0.£women editors has been appointed. We joinwith their many other friends in extendingthem our heartiest good wishes.'Our second announcement concerns a seriesof historical sketches of fraternity chapters,sororities, and other similar societies local tothe University, which will appear. this quarter.Inasmuch as our subscribers consist largelyof either members of these organizations "prtheir friends, it has seemed that a number 0-£short articles telling how each body original.lycame into existence, and any details of itssubsequent histories which the members mightcare to divulge, would make attractive reading.In the case of the Greek letter chapters, therewould also be included a very brief descriptionof the national fraternity to which each - be­longed. Each history would. be written bysome member of the society with 'which itdealt, and so would combine the qualities, .ofabsolute authenticity with complete discretion.As an introduction to the series it would ofcourse be desirable to have a general survey ofthe field written by some person thoroughlyconversant with all the details.This idea, on being presented to members ofsome seven or eight of the organizations, metwith their unqualified approval, and we arehappy to say that the first one or two historieswill probably appear in the WEEKLY for J anu­ary 31. If nothing interferes, it is hoped tohave the others come out in successive -issuesin the order in which the societies were groupedin the last Cap and Gown.For an introduction to the series, we havebeen so fortunate as to secure an article byProfessor Shepardson, of the History Depart­ment of the University, which was first pub­lished in the Beta Theta Pi magazine of lastNovember, Although written by a fraternityman for his fraternity organ, this article hasseemed to us so impartial and comprehensiveas quite to suit our purposes. It appearson the first page of this number of theWEEKLY. -The annual student publication, known asthe Cap and Gown, isThe 1901 now well under way. Work-Cap and Gown. ing committees from theboard _ of editors havebeen appointed, and the material forthe issue, which will appear some time inApril or May, is being gathered together.The Cap and Gown is the most important out­put of the student body,. being, as it is,an archive of all that has transpired in the wayof student activity during the year past. Itspreparation is -a task in which judgement, ac­curacy and good taste or propriety are power­ful factors in making or marring the work.Along these lines the WEEKLY humbly wishesto make several suggestions to the Cap andGown board.The Cap and Gowns of the past have beenvery creditable. It is safe to say that theyhave ranked well up in comparison withthe publications of other colleges; Yet itis by the examples of those of preceedingyears that we desire to point out opportunitiesof improving this year's issue.First of all, attention is called to that di-vision of the Cap and Gown known as Liter­ary. Scarcely anyone can have read in the1900 book the effusions of sighing souls, whichchiefly composed the literary matter, and which; 731had little or no connection with college topics,without being struck by their inappropriateness.As literary gems we do not question theirvalue, but we declare that they' are distinctlyout of place in the Cap and Gown-they giveit a tone partaking of the grammar school ex­hibition. As a substitute, the WEEKLY offersa suggestion, which the Cap and Gown editorsmayor may not have already considered. Inview of the fact that 1901 is the decennial yearof the University, and in as much as the occa­sion is to be recognized and marked in variousother ways, it seems fitting and sensible to in­clude in the 1901 Cap and Gown some histori­cal, retrospective sketch of student activitiesduring these ten years. This sketch wouldmost probably take the nature ot a history ofthe origin and development of various studentorg�nizations during the life of the University-the dates of the installation of the differentfraternities and of the local societies and de­scriptions of all clubs of whatever nature. Tothe WEEKLY'S knowledge there have beenborn, flourished and died a score of' exceeding­ly interesting clubs in the University, the ex­istence of which is generally a matter of ignor­ance except in the memories of some oldgrads. The undertaking oftheir revivification bypublishing a history of all student organiza­tions in the past ten years would certainly beinstructive, useful and in good taste. It wouldat least be wiser than the incorporation of abushel of' 'themes'" in the 1901 Cap and Gown.Then, in connection with the fraternity partof the book, there are matters which dependmuch upon the wishes of individual fraterni­ties, but which are at the same time generalenough to adrn it.of dis-cussion as to their pro­priety. That beneath the fraternity pictures(asin dee d beneath all group pictures) thenames of the men should be printed, goes al­most without saying. Why this important de­tail, has in the past been overlooked is difficultto explain. With the fraternity pictures, als-o, it, (would be elucidating arid at the same timeproper to print: first, the date of the foundationin the old University of Chicago; second, dateof withdrawal; and third, date of installationin the ne� University. Furthermore, the listof "fratres in facultatem," which is almostalways included in the fraternity lists ofother college annuals, should be added to the1901 Cap and Gown. This would be accept­able to every fraternity undoubtedly, becausea chance of revealing its prominent membersand strength would thus be presented. Asso­ciated with this idea is a suggestion concern­ing the faculty division of the book. In thelist of members of the faculty, the fraternity towhich each man belonged might be printedafter his name. These matters are several towhich past Cap and Gowns have faded to givedue attention, and although they are in eachcase seemingly insignificant, yet all taken to­gether they count for infinite effect in the im­pression of good or bad taste, which results,and which is a quality most of all not to beoverlooked.The WEEKLY suggests that every studenttake an a�tive interest in the Cap and Gown,that any valuable idea or innovation whichmay occur to anybody be communicated to theeditors. If information, pictures or knowledgeof events be in the possession of the student,let these also be given out to the editors. Besure that they will not resent it; they will re­ceive everything thankfully. The activity al­ready displayed by the board presages thesuccess of the Cap and Gown at I90I, but theWEEKLY, nevertheless, whether it be necessaryor not, wishes it Godspeed.The Yale Glee and Banjo Clubs traveledmore than 8,000 miles during their Christmastrip .this year.

'\YAn Opportunity for Students.N early all of the students of the U ni versityof Chicago-certainly all those who have lec­ture courses-are constantly feeling the needof a knowledge of shorthand, in order to beable to take notes in a readable and connectedmanner. The great difficulty heretofore hasbeen that in order to acquire sufficient steno­graphic speed to be of any material benefit..a .lengthy course of four to six months has beennecessary, which made it practically impossi­ble for anyone to learn shorthand while at­tending the University.It is, therefore, with something of the pride.of one who has made an important discoverythat the WEEKLY calls attention to White'sShorthand School, which is located on the 8thfloor of the Studebaker Building, 203 Michiganavenue. A representative of the WEEKLY hasrecently made a personal investigation of theschool, and after dictating at the rate of 127words a minute to a young lady who had beenstudying only nine days, found that she couldread her notes easily and perfectly. Afternineteen days the most difficult matter can betaken with ease.The extreme sim plicity of the system (thereare only twenty-four characters and twelverules in all) makes it much easier to remem­ber than the old systems, so that the constantpractice formerly required to keep up one'sspeed is almost unnecessary.Mrs. White,' the Principal of the school,says that if a student of the University will de­vote three hours a day to the work she willguarantee to make him or her a finished sten-ographer. .We feel sure this is an apportunity whichsome of our readers will be glad to take ad­vantage of.Approaching Poot Ball Games.IN THE WBST.Oct. 13 Chicago vs. Minnesota at Minneapolis.., •.

"Oct. 17" """Informal meetings with their classes, ar­ranged by several members of the faculty dur­ing the summer quarter, as experiments, re­sulted so gratifyingly to both instructors andstudents that it might be well to give the move­ment a more thorough trial during the comingyear. In some cases these meetings were heldat the homes of the instructors and took thenature of informal receptions; in others theywere held in the class room at an hour con­venient to all concerned.In this way the students were given oppor­tunity forpersonal contact with their instructoraside from class work, as well as opportunityto become better acquainted among themsel ves­And personal contact with brainy professorsis really a considerable of an item in the train­ing of students-an item that the most cannotbe made of here unless' through some suchmeans, on account of the many lecture coursesand the many large classes.On the other hand, both instructors and stu­dents were benefited by the increased goodfellowship resulting. The instructor discov­ered each member of his class to possess a per­sonality, giving him added human interest inhis class, while the student regarded his in­structor as something more than a task-master,and attacked his work with greater energy.As the faculty as well as the students, un­doubtedly wish to make this the most success­ful year in the history of the University, thesummer term experiment may well be .invest­igated with the view of making it an all-the­year fixture.Handball is already the "go" at California.Is Economy'to an extreme-but you can buyv o ur Drugs, Chemicals, Perfumes and SodaWater and obtain satisfaction atHOOVER & OGLESBY'S DRUG STOREIngram Building60th St. and Washington Ave.Near Ill.
