VOL. IX. No. 20tllni"ersit)'! of <thicago 'Ulrlechl)2CHICAGO, ILL., FEBRUARY 28, 1901.'Ube Ulni"ersit� of <Ibicago Settlement.The "University of Chicago Settlement" is thetitle of a pamphlet recently issued, which dealswith the history, objects arid- success of thatsocial movement. The pamphlet endeavors tolead the reader through the entire course ofthe settlement, from its inception in 1894 to itscondition of multitudinous activities in 1901.Remarkable, indeed, has been the growth ofthe settlement. In 1894, the Philanthropiccommittee of the Christian Union of the Uni­versity of Chicago undertook the establish­ment of a social settlement. I n accordancewith their plans two fellows of the Departmentof Sociology, took up residence in the neigh­borhood of the Stock Yards. The "yards"district is peculiarly unfelicitous in its sur­roundings and hence affords the necessary en­vironment far social research. The squaremile between Halstead street and Ashlandavenue, Forty-seventh and Thirty-ninth streets,is the home of the "yards" itself. To the westof this location is the dumping ground for thelake shore wards, while to the north is a branchof the river into which three sewers empty.The population of this district consists mainlyof those who must be convenient to the "yards"because employed there.In the fall of '94 more commodious quarterswere found in the same building where theoriginal rooms had been, and a woman resi­dent joined the workers. A year later thehome of the settlement again was enlarged,and in 1896 four flats over a feed store becamethe center'of activities. The settlement stilloccupies this building, although much of thework has been transferred to the gymnasium, anew structure on Gross avenue. Here is thecenter, for the manual training department;here is the reading room and public librarystation. The gymnasium is the first of theseries of settlement buildings which have beenplanned and which will be erected as oppor­tunity affords., <4'- Beg inning with the organization of the U'ni­versity of Chicago Settlement, the connectionbetween the Settlement and the University ismaintained by the appointment of the headresident as assistant in the, Department of So­cro logy. Professors. expert in different speci­alties, deliver lectures on their' subjects fromtime to time, thus securing a more practicalconnection. Students as· well as professorsfind a field for research, as witnesses the facthat twenty-three are now engaged in syste­matic work.What the settlement is, need not be dweltupon further than to outline a few of the de­partments. In the community- of heterogen­eous nationalities where the settlement islocated, a Woman's Club has flourished forfive years. Its membership is now one hund­red and fifty; these laboring together with thesettlement have obtained a free public bathhouse. A Loan Association-s-a defence againstthat judggernaut of the necessities, the pawn­broker---is a germination of the Cl ub. These re­sults are, of course, outside the routine dutiesof the Club, their discussions of domestic,political and economic questions forming theregular program; as for example a discussionon "Evolution of the Factory System," pre­sented on November 22, by Mrs. Herirotin.An adjunct of the Woman's Olub, is the Bohe­mian Woman's Club devoted exclusively' toBohemian women who do not speak English.The Young Women's Club has accomplisheda notable result in raising the ideal of socialentertainment in the "yards" district. Itsmeetings consider historical, travel and domes­tic subjects. The membership numbers twenty­five.'The play-ground in summer, the gymnasiumin winter, form the rendevous of the children.The interests of the Atlas Club, composed ofyoung men, attach to the gymnasium and itsdepartments, while the Little Neighbors, child-'I'801.lit$*$j=ijld_b'¥?�:¥��:;?]�Y{Ji\':;::�!Y:::+YM*Eh}T «*\m�s::�<r/::t·:$ft>:¢Mi!ijJ.;r}W'\::i}�/li:�?);,::;;Yi'GrwdtiiVszi&¥M,;(l/.t:,;\S!rf{:;r1Endowment for the Northern Oratorical,,I ren about nine years old, learn sewing, basketweaving, games and scrap-book making.A Children's Chorus, the Orphan's ChoralSociety, the Skylarks and the Mandolin Or­chestra Club, furnish musical instruction andentertainment.Space cannot be allowed for a longer de­scription of the social aims and successes ofthe settlement. Mention only may be madeof the Penny Savings Bank, the Day Nursery,the Dispensary (now independent of the set­tlement,) the successful connection with theJuvenile Court, the vacation schools move­ment. These are but a few of the results ofthe settlement, whose work is to "live among'them, (the people.)"As a conclusion, a word regarding the Uni­versity of Chicago Settlement League is notunfitting. The object of the League formed in1895, by women connected with the Universityis to support morally and financially the settle­ment work. Under its auspices, the two comicoperas appeared, the last one realizing overthirty-five hundred dollars net. The total netreceipts from settlement benefits amount tosixty-four hundred eighty-two do llars-v-thisduring five years of the League's existance.! IIMasons Organize.On February 17, the Masons in the studentbody of the University formally organizedthemselves into a club. The club now has amembership of twenty-five but it is hopedthat very soon that number will be increasedto forty. The members are nearly all grad latestudents and corne from all parts of the coun­try. Regular meetings are to be held on thesecond Monday in each month. The club iscontemplating giving a large banquet in thenear future. The following are the officersjust elected.President--J. R. Dexter.Vice President--W. R. Smith.Secretary and Treasurer--A. D. Magers.Executive Committee--H. G. ,Paul, L. A.Tyler.The total enrollment at Princeton as shownby the new catalogue is 1249.Stanford and California have begun theirregular baseball schedules. League.Frank O. Lowden of Chicago of the lawfirm of Lowden, Estabrook & Davis, has given$3,000 as an endowment to the Northern Ora­torical League. This endowment is to beplaced in the hands of the Regents of the StateUniversity of Iowa, of which Mr. Lowden is analumnus, and the interest accruing therefromis to be used in providing testimonials of srooand $50 respectively to be given to the firstand second honor men in the annual contestsof the Northern Oratorical League. Thesetestimonials will henceforth be known as theLowden prizes in oratory,The League has been in existance elevenyears. It was organized in 1890 by Prof.Thomas C. Trueblood of the University ofMichigan and is com posed of the University ofChicago, Northweste�n -University, OberlinCollege, the University of _Michigan, the U ni­versity of Wisconsin, the University of Minne­sota and the State University of Iowa.Heretofore the testimonials have beenraised by special tax on each of the colleges,or were provided by friends of the League,'Ferdinand W. Peck of Chicago having giventhe prizes in 1897, 1898 and 1899.Mr. Lowden is in sympathy with the effortsof students to perfect themselves in the art ofarts. He was himself an honor man at theUniversity of Iowa, and also at the Northwest­ern Law School, and this generous act on hispart, which places the Northern League on asound financial basis, will be much appreciatednot only by the students and alumni of theseveral institutions but by the authorities aswell, and will be the means of greatly stimu­lating the art of public speaking in the West.­U. of M.

These characteristics it has taken pridein conserving in the later chapter organiza­tion.The eleven men composing the membershipof the club were: Ernest A. Scrogin, H. E. P.Thomas; Ernest E. Irons, Fred C. Hack, Gee­L. White, Clayton W. Mogg, Charles E. Carey,Carl D. Greenleaf, Thomas V. Graves, Ehiu A.E. Palmquist, and Frank R. White. From thefirst the club was particularly interested in thefraternity into which it was finally installed.The vigorous yet conservative policies of Del­ta Tau Delta which have led her to a strongrepresentation in the great western universitiesand to a wise expansion into the best schoolsthroughout the country, appealed with specialforce to the prospective chapter in our cen­trally located University. The attention of thefraternity was directed to the club through theChicago Alumni Chapter. After numerousconferences an application for a charter wassubmitted to the Arch Chapter of Delta TauDelta, leading to the club's installation into thefraternity on May 13, 1898. The ceremony wasconducted at the Chicago Athletic qub underthe immediate direction of the Northwestern .Chapter, and under the general supervision ofthe. local alumni chapter. Many visiting Del­tas were present from neighboring universities.Some weeks before its installation the clubtook a house at 5661 Washington Ave. Thechapter later moved toits present address, 573 IMonroe avenue, in order to provide more ade­quately for its increasing membership and itswidening interests. It has become the settledpolicy of Gamma Alpha to lay first emphasison those features of its life which promote awarm congeniality and good fellowship in itsinner circle. The chapter house is only sec­ondarily a club house, primarily it is a collegeho�e,. and the intense loyalty of the mem­bers who have ·gone out from- college and.�.I� 803from the chapter bespeaks the pre-eminent suc­cess of this feature of the chapter life. Tenmen are at present living at the house.The chapter has accepted honors in the var- ,­ious lines of University activity, and has takenparticular pride in the success of its many .re�presentatives in the fields of college debatingand oratory and athletics. The present mem­bership is especially fortunate in enjoying thegood-will and hearty friendship of other fra­ternity men, and invites the co-operation ofthe chapters in furthering general fraternityinterests in the University.FRANK R. WHITE, '00.Alpha Epsilon Delta of Chi Psi.In furtherence of the spirit of fraternal lovewhich led a little group of Union College mento band themselves together just sixty yearsago, Epsilon Delta, the youngest Alpha of ChiPsi was installed in the University of Chicago,No�ember 25th., 1898, with the followingcharter members: James M. Gwin, M. P.Frutchey, John F. Hagey, Ralph L. Peck, JohnP. Mentzer, Arthur W. Smith, Ainsworth W.Clark, Charles N. Crewdson, Newell M. Fair,M. F. Gallagher, R. M. Reed and Rowland T.Rogers.

It seems incongruousthat the "art preservative of all the arts,"should have its workshop in the flimsiest andl.east substantial building on the cam pus. Theold gymnasium has become a by-wor d , andathletes of our institution are ashamed as theypoint it out to friends. Yet in this building arehuddled together the gymnasium, the libraryand the press. Here in a crowded room backof the general library from thirty-five to fortymen are engaged every day in setting in typethe vast literary output of the University.Space is economized to the utmost degree, andinconveniences of an almost intolerable natureare endured. In spite, however, of the limitedfacilities, work is executed which has won forthe University of Chicago Press a wide repu·tatiori for typographical excellence. The plantis provided with fonts of type not only in Eng­lish ,text, but also in Greek, Hebrew, Syriac,Arabic and Ethiopic. All the work of compo­sition is done here, though the printing andbinding of the larger journals is placed in thehan,ds of more fully equipped establishments.j "Besides the manufacturing of books andperiodicals, the U ni versity Press has two otherdepartments .. Of these the purchase and re­tail department, .secures printed matter inevery form for the general and departmentallibraries, with various supplies for the adminis­trative offices and laboratories. The book andstationery store in Cobb Hall, so well knownto students, is under its direction, The publi­cation department with offices in the BotanyBuilding, has charge of the general distributionand sale of all University Press work. Theoffices of M r. Th�odore Z. Root, the superin-tendent, and of Mr. Newman Miller, directorof the Press Division are. also in the BotanyBuilding.The work is thus carried on at great disad­vantage, the various departments of it beingwidely separated. This condition will be rem­edied this year by the establishment of newquarters, which will furnish ample accommo­dations of the highest class for the entire busi­ness. Plans have already been drawn andbuilding operations will be commenced in the early spring. The new structure is to occupyt.he north west corner of 58th street and Ellisavenue, and will be of steel and brick, fireproofthroughout. It will have four stories and abasement, the first story being devoted to thebook store, offices and waiting rooms, the sec­ond and third temporarily to the general li­brary, and the fourth to the composing depart­ment. Printing presses ana binding machineswill occupy the basement.A list of the publications of the University ofChicago Press since its founding in the autumnof 1892, fills a catalogue of forty pages. Thesecover a wide range of topics in literature, sci­ence, art and philosophy, many of them worksof recognized authority. In few instances, ifany, at so early a stage of its history, has anyuniversity shown such a remarkable literaryfecundity. The periodicals are ten in number.They are edited, with one exception, by speci­alists, and contain the results of the latest in­vestigations in the departments to which theyare respectively devoted. Three are publishedquarterly, four monthly, one appears bi-month­ly, another semi-quarterly, and still anotherweekly. The last mentioned of theses the Uni­versity Record, is the only one not technicalin character. It gives the general official newsof the University, and contains in each issue a'calendar of exercises for the ensuing week.Most of the journals, and some of the otherpublications may be obtained abroad at agen­cies in London, Edinburgh, Berlin and Leipz ic.A geological and geograp'iical excursion in the NorthAtlantic is planned for the summer of IqOI. Condition­ally on the formation of a sufficiently large party, asteamer of about 1,000 tons, specially adapted for icenavigation, and capable of accomodating 60 men willleave Boston on or about June 26 and return to the samepoint on or about September 20. The main object ofthe voyage will be to offer to the members of the excur­sion party opportunity of studying the volcanic .conesand lavafields, the geysers, ice-caves and glaciers of Ice­land, the fiords and glaciers of the west coast of Green­land, and the mountains and fiords of Northern Labra­dor.

It is some­what difficult for Chicago people to appreciatethe fact that there still exists in the cities tohave been visited by the clubs any considerablebody. of persons not used to the sight of menand boys appearing in entertainments of the proposed nature. In our own and many otherNorthern communities such performances arefrequently given under the auspices and for thebenefit of churches and church societies.Moreover, had this adverse sentiment reallyexisted i,n the Southern cities to any very greatdegree, it seems scarcely probably that, as wasthe case, religious and charitable organizationswould have been willing to sponsor the comic, opera performances of the clubs in the variouscities where engagements were made. But ifthe governing authorities of the University hadsufficient evidence of the presence of this some­what old fashioned antipathy to the idea ofmen dressing up as girls, it was undoubtedlyfor the interest of all concerned that the tripshould not take place.It is extremely unfortunate, however, that""" ""'- -the decision of the Board on Student Organiza-tions was not arrived at sooner, with the resultthat Miss Cook would have been saved thetrouble of writing the new play, ten or twelvestudents would have devoted their time to otherthings than the learning of ballet steps, andManager Kelso would have had more money inhis pocket. In this circumstance is to be founda reasonable basis for the somewhat aggrievedfeeling of many people.The policy which Prof. Stagg has 'recently in­augurated, that of giving"C's" to winners of events'·C's" ForIndoorAthletes. in certain indoor track andfield meets, is one which, onthe whole, should be pre­ductive of good results. Indeed, it seems thenatural and reasonable thing to do. The timeis past when our indoor meets are contestedonly with weak teams, or with representativeso t other than educational institutions. Whenour track men have as opponents the athletesfrom Michigan, Notre Dame or Illi nois, as is thecase this winter, they are struggling with someof the closest rivals Chicago has, and the vic-_.-=--:A.�';. .. ��- =� - .:_ - - ---- - - - - ---�-- ----���-- � - - _-- -tor is, under those circumstances, esteemed bythe student body equally in summer or in win­ter.It would seem to be a matter of mere justice.to award the "C" to Chicago men winningevents in indoor competition with these uni-: ) �versities. It would seem to be the part ofwisdom to do anything which will conduce togreater interest and more strenuous endeavoron the part of both old and new athletes dur­ing the months of tedious indoor training.Prof. Stagg's new policy is, we think, a far­sighted one.We wish to congratulate the Civic Club for thehighly successful, entertain-Congratu­lations. ing and;' stimulating cere­monies which were held incelebration of Washington'sBirthday under their auspices. We also cannotrefrain from dilating upon the fact that theperformance of the University Band at theseceremonies, was, in our judgment, the bestpiece of music which has been! heard _on thecampus.

How­ever that may be, she took the card handedher that evening with an inquiry for Miss Westarid carded it straight to Miss De West. Yet thiswas hardly strange for, as Miss Marion DeWestlargely upheld the hall's reputation for beingattractive to men, the maid might easily havesupposed the visitor was for her, although theelaborately written card and the pronouncedclerical aspect of the man in the hall, im­pressed even her stupid mind with their unlike­ness to corresponding details of Miss Marion'sscrupulously Correct callers.Miss .. neWest was expecting one of thebe ax that evening and, rather annoyed at hisnot appearing, was standing by the windowgazing at the lights of the Midway and drum­ming impatiently on the sill, while her chumamused herself by quoting with tragic gesturesfor Marion's edification:"He cometh riot," she said,She said, "I am aweary, aweary,I would that I were dead IH� come-""Corne" interrupted Miss DeWest sharply,in response to a knock at the door, as eagerlyadvancing toward the maid, she took the cardoffered her. A single glance sufficed."The Rev. John EliphaletTedings!" she read,"Horrors! what a name, and what an antedi­luvian card. Written too, like the ones yousee done on street corners. . Tidings-I neverheard of him--I can't waste time on a stranger.Tell him 1 am not at home-O, well, if youdon't want to lie say I'm out. There, I'll puta sign on my door."As the maid went down stairs, the othergirl stopped trying to coax the Alma Materfrom a refractory mandolin to ask,II 1 "Marion, don't you thlnk he might be forthat little mouse (If a Miss West? Sits at MissJames' table-O you know. You spoke to herthe other day.""0 yes, the one with the impossible red andgreen waist. I suppose he was. That maidis just stupid enough not to be sure- whetherhe wanted West or DeWest.""Don't blame her. She seldom gets achoice where callers are concerned. Do youremember how she brought Jack Brown's cardto you instead of May. That wasn't strangeeither considering how often-" But a sofacushion entered rather abruptly into the con­versation while Miss DeWest suggested,"You'd better go get your ContemporarySociety or you'll flunk the quiz.""Yes, while you do experimental work forthe course in the parlor. 'N ight."And the door slammed just in time to checkthe flight of another pillow.* * * \�Miss Martin gave a sigh of relief as sheslammed the last sociology reference, closedher note books and corked her fountain penwith a snap."Half past twelve! and I am spoi ling myyouth and beauty on these poky cities." sheyawned. About to put out her lamp, her handwas arrested by a stiffied· sobbing that camethrough-the thin partitions. She opened herdoor and listened. The sound came from theroom of Janet West, a I ittle country schoolteacher who, as a consummation of a life's de­sire, was now studying in the University. Shewas a friend of Miss Martin who, by certainunobtrusive but constant kindnesses, had wonthe school teacher's confidence and affection.Miss Martin gently opened the door and in thedim light saw the girl crouched on the floorresting her head on the couch, sobbing terribly.Without a word the visitor sat down on thefloor and took the sad little figure in her arms,whispering, after a while,"Tell me Janet, can you?"The other threw her arms around her com­forter's neck."Oh,. I must," she sobbed. "Its awfullysilly, I guess, but its breaking my heart. Hedidn't come-I though he meant it, too.""But who, Janet, and what's the matter?""Oh, it'sfoolishto care so butJohn-John Ted-.ings-we quarrelled before I came here. He'sa minister g�ing East to take a new parish.He wrote and asked me to forgive him--if Idid he was to call tonight-and I wrote to come-we could settle it all then I thought. And hehasn't even been here. Oh dear, I wish I weredead."Miss Martin's arms only tightened aroundthe girl's neck as she told the little sorrowswhich would have been trivial had it happenedto--Miss DeWest.Miss Martin was thinking of <Mariana in theMoated Grange" which she had run across inher Tennyson that afternoon. She had alwaysthought the poem "absurdly sentimental" be­fore.IlWashington's Birthday Exercises.Despite the holiday Kent Theatre was com­fortably filled last Friday morning with an ap­preciative audience 'which had gathered to wit­ness the Washington's Birthday exercises heldunder the 'auspices of the Civic Club. The pro­gram presented was excellent in every respect,and the Oivic Club is to be congratulated uponthe success of the meeting.The musical members of the program wereespecially good. The band demonstrated that iti:) an organizntion of which the University maywell be proud, for it rendered Kellar's Ameri-. can Hymn and the American Patrol in a man­ner that would do credit to the best bands inChicago. The audience showed its apprecia­tion by demanding encores to each selection.Mr. Romanzo Adams, president of the CivicClub, made a short speech about the Club itselfand then introduced Mr. Blanchard. Mr.Blanchard's reading was appreciated both be­cause of the fitness of his selection and be­cause of the clearness of his interpretation.Mr. Shepardson speaking on Washington as-a "N ation Maker" said that as a public manWashington was equally great as a soldier acitizen, and a statesman, and that the threemost noticeable things in the man himselfwere, his great faith, his irresistable honestyand his great personality.Mr. Judson said that it was a truism that 809Washington was quite as great as an adminis­trator as he had been as a soldier. He pointedout how Washington was ever true to his con­victions, in the face of all opposition, and howimpartial history showed that Washington'sdecisions had always been just and right.SOCIETY NEWS.Phi Kappa Psi 'gave their monthly informalon Friday evening, February 22, at their home,650 Midway Plaisance.The eighth annual Washington Promenadeat the Chicago Beach Hotel last Thursdayevening was quite ·up to the standard of formeryears.

Although the Juniors wereexpectc d to win, the game proved a rather onesided victory' for the Seniors. Misses ShailerRoby and Fairman did the star work for theseniors, and Miss Wayman and Miss Martin forthe juniors. The good work of the seniorsconsisted almost whol1y in their quick, accur­ateteam work, while the work of the juniors wasmore marked by individual star plays.

Thetragic story of Dr. Marette, Carton's patheticfigure, raving Paris, everything up to the clos­ing words, "I am the Resurrection and theLife," was startling in its reality.

He has decided to give the cov­eted letter to victors in the regulation distanceand field events contested under the outdoorrules. This means that an athlete who. winsfirst place in any of the winter intercollegiatemeets in any event except the thirty-five orseventy-five yard dash or hurdles, will securethe big white letter which any U. of C. man hasjustgrounds for coveting.Ferd Horton, '03, was the first man to winthe "C" under the new plan. On Washington'sBirthday, which was the day following theMichigan meet, Professor Stagg met Horton inthe "gym," and gave him a "C" for his victoryin the mile run and general all around runningwork this winter.* * * *At the meet the evening before Coach Stagghad become enthusiastic over the work of Fer­riss, '04, in the high jump. For a short time itlooked as though he had defeated Snow ofMichigan. Our head professor in athletics feltso happy that he shook Ferriss by the handand told him he would get a "C" for his jump.But when Snow went an inch higher the grant­ing of the "C" to Ferriss was deferred, thoughno doubt he will win it before the year is 0 ver.However this incident called attention to thenew policy, and when Director Stagg thoughtit over thoroughly, he decided to make it ret­roactive in one case. As a result Zeiner Pettithas secured his track "C." Pettit's work,which won the letter for him, was done at NotreDame last year, when he went 21 feet, 7 inchesin the broad jump. The broad jump is not anordinary indoor event, and recently in lookingup records Director Stagg has discovered that2 I feet 7 inches is the indoor record. Becauseof his endeavors in many events and on ac­count of his faithful work, Pettit has receivedmany congratulations since securing his "C.",IThe candidates for the track team have inpast seasons often felt that "C's" should begiven for success in the winter meets. Andnow that the winter meets have come to as- sume much more importance as contests thanthey did formerly, the new policy meets withgeneral satisfaction. It is a policy calculatedto stimulate the track candidates to steadytraining and their best efforts, because theywill have opportunities for personal reward.* * * *From now on there is to be a meet in whichour men will be entered every Saturday forthree weeks, and they have already competedin one dual meet. That was the contest withMichigan in the "Gym" last Wednesday. Mich­igan had a strong aggregation of athletes, whodefeated the Chicago men 42 to 30. The scorewould have been much closer but for a deplor­able error in the half mile run. Director Staggfired the pistol for the last lap ol}e round toosoon, and as a result our men, Captain Molon­ey and Lord, lost the advantage they wouldotherwise have had in being two to 'Michigan'sone. "Bill" was looking across the track atHayes and taking things easy, Lord setting thepace. With another lap he could have sprintedahead easily. The race was run as a pursuitcontest, and Captain Hayes of Michigan didremarkably good work to run five laps unpacedin I:42, defeating our men. The reason for themistake on laps was that Director Stagg waswithout his watch from which he usually tellsthe number of laps. There was a miscountboth on his part and by one of the judges whoadvised him.Fred Moloney, who took the hurdles withease, was defeated for second place in the quar­ter mile by Nufer, a new man for Michigan,who showed up well in the meet. He was for­merly a star runner at Albion College. Heand Fishletgh won on the thirty- five yard dashin which event Wellington '03, was the onlyMaroon who qualified.Snow, the man who captained the Michiganfootball team on Marshall Field last Thanks­giving day, retrieved sorrie honors lost then bywinning firsts in the shot-put and high jum p.Dvorak and Fishleigh had no difficulty in tak­ing points in the pole vault, Catron failing at 9feet 6 inches, and Kennedy being ineligible onaccount of the last tri-weekly notices.A return meet- with Michigan will be held atAnn Arbor, in the university gymnasium aweek from Saturday.

It looks as though the strug­gle for the banner would lie between the U ni­versity of Chicago and the First Regimentathletic club.Next week Saturday, a small track team willbe taken to Notre Dame for a triangular meetin the new gymnasium there. Illinois will bethe third competitor.* '" *The "big nine" representatives held aspecial Faculty conference meeting at theLexington hotel last Saturday, and refusedthe small colleges admission to the manage­ment of the Faculty Conference meet, whichis to take the place of the Western Intercol­legiate. The small colleges threaten to con­tinue the Western Intercollegiate association,but as all of the big universities are in the con­ference, they cannot hold 'a representative meetif they do. The whole object of the Facultyconference in taking control of what will bethe annual Western meet is to raise the stand­ard of eligibility requirements.Professor Stagg was unable to attend theconference Saturday on account of a lectureengagement at Alma, Michigan. Dr. J. E.Raycroft was the Chicago representative.The preliminary trials for the Northern Or­atorical League" contest will be held Tuesday,March r zth.
