ege  and  SGhools  at  Lake  Forest 

THE  REV.  RICHARD  D.  HARLAN,  0.  0.,  It  D..  President 


The  Trustees  of  that  corporation  whose  legal  title  is  "Lake  Forest  University"  maintain 
three  institutions  :— Lake  Forest  College,  Lake  Forest  Academy  (for  boys),  and  Ferry  Hall  (for 
girls). 

While  the  two  schools  are  under  the  general  oversight  of  the  President  of  the  College, 
each  has  its  own  separate  campus,  its  own  independent  life,  and  its  separate  staff  of  teacher*. 

Lake  Forest  is  equaled  in  beauty  and  healthfulness  by  few  suburbs  of  any  American  city. 
It  is  situated  45  minutes  from  Chicago  (C.  &  N.  W.  R'y.)  on  the  high  wooded  bluffs  of  Lake 
Michigan,  with  a  choice  population  of  only  2, goo.  The  charter  of  the  municipality  prohibits 
the  saloon. 

An  attractive,  home-like  infirmary,  with  all  the  equipment  of  a  modern  city   hospit •■ 
maintained  on  the  college  campus  for  the  special  use  of  the   students  of  the  College  and  two 
Schools.  ___________________________

Changes  in  thte  Faculty. 


Professor  John  M.  Clapp,  was  ap- 
pointed in  June  to  the  Professorship 
of  the  English  language  and  literature, 


PROP.  JOHN   M.    CLAPP 

succeeding  Professor  Jack.  In  1890 
he  was  graduated  from  Amherst  Col- 
lege, receiving  the  degree  of  M.  A. 
there  in  1893.  Immediately  upon  his 
graduation,  Mr.  Clapp  went  to  Illinois 
College  at  Jacksonville,  and  remained 
there,  as  instructor  and  professor,  un- 
til 1899.  It  was  to  the  great  regret  of 
the  college  and  community  at  Jackson- 
ville that  he  went  in  1899  to  Indiana 
University,  where  he  has  been  an 
assistant  professor  until  now. 

Mr.  Clapp  has   been    a    very   suc- 


cessful teacher,  exacting  but  popular 
with  students,  a  wheel  horse  in  faculty 
administration,  and  a  real  force  in 
each  community  where  he  has  lived. 
His  training  East  and  West,  in  a  large 
State  institution  and  in  a  college  like 
Lake  Forest,  has  given  him  breadth  of 
view  and  an  appreciation  of  the  pur- 
pose of  an  institution  like  ours.  He 
comes  to  Lake  Forest  with  the  hope 
of  permanent  devotion  to  her  welfare 
and  the  desire  to  build  up,  by  patient 
and  steady  effort,  a  strong  department 
of  English. 

THE  DEAN  OE    WOMEN 

Miss  Edite  Denise,  the  already 
popular  Dean  of  Women  and  Instruct- 
or of  French,  appointed  to  succeed 
Miss  Kimball,  received  her  B.  L.  at 
Ferry  Hall  in  1885.  After  spending 
the  year  1889-90,  as  a  graduate  student 
at  Bryn  Mawr,  she  went  abroad  for 
study,  spending  part  of  four  years  in 
Germany  and  France.  She  became 
Instructor  in  Modern  Language,  Iowa 
College,  1892-1905,  from  which  time 
till  her  call  to  Lake  Forest  she  was  In- 
structor in  German  at  Indiana  Univer- 
sity. 

We  regret  having  been  unable  to 
secure  her  photo  for  publication. 

Mr.  Edgar  White  Burrill,  who  has 
been  chosen  Assistant  in  the  English 
Department,  although  just  out  of  col- 
lege, having  received  his  B.  A.  degree 
last  year  at  Amherst,  comes  to  us  with 


THE  STENTOR 


very    excellent    records    for    the    high 
quality  of  his  work,    especially    in    En- 


~MK.    KDGAU   TviilTE   BTTRILL 

glish  and  Oratory,  and  with  the  very 
highest  recommendations  as  a  man  who 
will  assisted  greatly  in  building  us  our 
Department  of  English. 


PROFESSOR  DAWSON  INJURED. 

We  are  grieved  to  learn  that  Pro- 
fessor Dawson,  head  of  our  Erench 
Department,  was  unable  to  return  this 
semester.  In  the  course  of  his  visit  to 
his  nephew,  Erskine, '06,  at  Rapid  City, 
N  Dak.,  this  summer,  while  out  driv- 
ing his  horse  took  fright  and  ran  away, 
very  seriously  injuring  him.  A  note 
from  the  professor,  dated  Oct.  5,  re- 
ports that  he  is  steadily  gaining, 
though  still  unable  to  move  about 
much. 

His  place  is  being  temporarily 
filled  by  Dr.  F.  C.  Van  Steenderen, 
formerly  Professor  of  Romance  Lan- 
guages at  the  University  of  Iowa. 


THE   GARRICK  CLUB. 

The  Garrick  Club,  L.  F.  C.'s  drama- 
tic organization  met  last  week  for  the 
first  time  this  semester.  It  opens  its 
06  '07  season  with  the  following  mem- 
bers: 

E.  Palmer,   President. 

H.  Shroyer,   Manager. 

L.  Munger,  Secretary  and  Treasurer. 

Sowers 

Miss  Helen  Cutler, 

Miss  Ann  Ryon, 

Miss  Margaret  Robertson, 

The  club  has  lost  some  of  its  best 
talent  and  also  the  invaluable  services 
of  Mr.  Wm.  Mather  Lewis,  its  former 
director,  whose  position  as  Head  Mas- 
ter of  the  Academy  will  not  permit  his 
continuing  in  that  capacity  this  year. 
However,  Manager  Shroyer  assures 
that  another  competent  director  will 
be  secured  and  that  the  productions 
of  this  season  will  be  as  finished  as  the 
successes  of  previous  years. 

A  number  of  the  former  members 
have  withdrawn  or  been  graduated 
from  the  College  which  leaves  quite  a 
number  of  vacancies  in  the  member- 
ship of  the  club.  These  vacancies  will 
be  filled  by  a  competitive  trial  for  all 
wishing  a  place  in  the  club.  Those 
trying  for  membership  are  expected  to 
render  some  dramatic  selection  of  any 
length  or  character.  The  ones  show- 
ing the  most  histrionic  ability  will  be 
awarded  memberships.  A  member- 
ship in  the  Garrick  Club  is  quite  an 
honor  and  it  behooves  those  who  car- 
ried off  the  medals  and  brevets  for 
declamation  during  their  prep,  school 
careers  to  come  forth  with  their 
"Twinkle,  Twinkle  Little  Star"  sped 
and  gain  the  opportunity  of  winning 
some  of  the  genuine  applause  that  L. 
F.  audiences  are  so  lavish  with. 

Manager  Shroyer  expects  to  be 
able  to    announce    the   name's    of    the 


THE  STENTOR 


new  director  and  of  the  plays  to  be 
presented,  the  latter  part  of  this  week. 
It  is  probable  that  last  season's  method 
will  again  be  followed  this  season — 
Vaudeville  Show  in  December  and  a 
Classic  Drama  of  "The  Rivals"  type  in 
April. 

Y.  M.C.  A.  RECEPTION 

The  Young  Men's  Christian  Asso- 
ciotion  tendered  their  annual  reception 
to  the  college  men,  old  and  new,  on 
Tuesday  evening,  September  25,  at 
their  rooms  in  North  Hall. 

Dr.  Boyle  entertained  the  young 
men  for  nearly  an  hour  with  interest- 
ing and  humorous  anecdotes,  relative 
to  his  college  life. 

Dr.  Harlan  spoke  for  a  short  time 
about  the  hopefnl  outlook  on  the  cam- 
pus and  the  promising  quality  of  the 
new  men  as  Y.  M.  C.  A.  timber. 

Wharton,  the  President  of  the  As- 
sociation for  this  year,  gave  a  short 
talk  on  the  work  of  the  Association. 
Those  present  were  given  an  oppor- 
tunity to  play  the  new  piano,  to  sing 
the  Alma  Mater  song.  Finally  came 
the  "eats". 

The  Y.  M.  C.  A.  is  one  of  the 
most  beneficial  features  of  the  life  at 
L.  F.  C.  and  one  can  not  too  urgently 
admonish  the  new  men — and  a  few  of 
the  old  ones,  to  join.  This  year  the 
Association  is  to  have  the  active  co-op- 
oration  of  Dr.  Boyle  and  other  repre- 
sentative Christian  men  whose  associa- 
tion is  quite  a  desirable  thing  for  a  col- 
lege man. 


Prof,  and  Mrs.  R.  H.  McKee  were 
abroad  during  the  summer  vacation. 
Prot.  McKee  visited  all  the  larger  lab- 
oratories in  Germany,  Switzerland  and 
Hclland  and  has  gathered  a  number  of 
valuable  ideas,  which  he  hopes  to  use 
in  the  Chemical  Lab.  when  our  Science 
Hall  goes  up. 


FORMER  PROFESSOR   HAS  EYE  INJURED. 

Prof.  Albert  E.  JacK  Sustains  Serious  In- 
jury to  Left  Eye. 

Our  readers  will  be  very  sorry  to 
learn  of  the  unfortunate  accident  which 
Prof.  Jack,  late  of  the  English  Depart- 
ment of  Lake  Forest  College,  sus- 
tained a  short  time  ago.  While  he  was 
chopping  wood,  a  week  ago  last  Fri- 
day, a  piece  struck  his  left  eye,  pierc- 
ing the  cornea.  He  was  taken  immed- 
iately to  the  Marion  Sims  Hospital  of 
Chicago,  but  has  since  been  removed 
to  the  Presbyterian  Hospital.  Despite 
the  best  medical  care,  he  will  lose  the 
sight  of  the  eye;  and  it  is  feared  that 
the  eye-ball  itself  can  not  be  saved. 

Since  leaving  the  chair  of  English, 
which  he  had  held  since  1893,  Prof. 
Jack  has  been  leading  the  simple  life 
on  a  farm  near  Milburn,  in  the  north- 
western part  of  the  county.  Some 
time  ago  he  was  honored  with  the  offer 
of  the  Chair  of  English  at  Bryn  Mawr; 
but  owing  to  poor  health,  and  the  in- 
jury to  his  eye,  he  has  been  unable  to 
accept.

THE  STENTOR 


THE   NEW  RULES 

Coach  Vaughn  Explains  Some  of  the  New 

Rules    and  Shows  How  They  Will 

Affect    Smaller   Colleges.      He 

Comments  on  Our  Foot  Ball 

Prospects. 

The  foot  bill  enthusiast,  who  has 
followed  the  evolution  of  the  sport 
from  its  infancy,  is  prepared  to  see  an 
entirely  different  game  this  fall  from 
that  of  last  year.  The  revised  code 
ofruleshasin  many  ways  revolution- 
ized the  great  American  College  game. 

Many  abh  critics  of  foot  ball  ex- 
pect to  witness  a  slower  and  less  inter- 
esting game,  while  the  Rules  Commit- 
tee are  very  optimistic,  and  anticipate 
a  more  spectacular,  faster,  and  more 
interesting  game  than  that  of  previous 
years.  Whether  or  not  the  new  rules 
will  accomplish  their  purpose  remains 
to  be  seen. 

The  most  radical  changes  are; 

1.  The  distance  to  be  gained  in 
three  downs  in  order  to  retain  posses- 
sion of  the  ball,  has  been  increased 
from  five  to  ten  yards.  This  change  is 
directed  against  mass-play,  which  in 
years  past  has  played  a  prominent 
role  in  the  offensive  game,  and  has 
met  with  universal  disapproval  on  the 
part  of  the  public  and  of  the  officials, 
who  claim  that  such  a  style  of  play  is 
too  intricate  for  the  spectator  to  follow, 
and  causes  too  many  fatalities. 

2.  The  rule  allowing  one  forward 
pass  to  each  scrimmage,  provided  such 


pass  be  made  by'  a  player  who  was  be- 
hind the  line  of  scrimmage,  provided 
such  pass  be  made  by  a  player  who 
was  behind  the  line  of  scrimmage  when 
the  ball  was  put  in  play,  and  provided 
the  ball,  after  being  passed  forward, 
does  not  touch  the  ground  before  be- 
ing touched  by  a  player  of  either  side. 
Thus  far,  this  experiment  has  not  met 
with  any  great  degree  of  success;  but 
its  development  is  being  anxiously 
awaited. 

3.  When  the  ball  has  been  kicked 
by  any  player  on  the  kicking  side, 
other  than  the  snapper-back,  it  is  any 
body's  ball  as  soon  as  it  touches  the 
ground.  This  change  has  already 
proved  to  be  the  strongest  factor  in 
gaining  the  requisite  ten  yards  in  three 
downs;  and  it  has  excellent  opportun- 
ities for  still  further  development. 

The  best  stroke  made  by  the  new 
rules  is  in  the  enforcement  of  disqual- 
ification and  other  penalties,  such  as 
the  loss  of  the  ball  or  loss  of  distance, 
to  the  team  committing  the  foul,  thus 
eliminating  nearly  all  opportunities 
for  foul  play,  which  has  heretofore 
been  so    prevalent    in  foot-ball. 

Several  other  minor  changes  have 
been  made  which  will  easily  make 
themselves  apparent  to  the  observer 
on  the  field,  such  as:  no  tackling  below 
the  knees,  no  hurdling  over  the  line, 
or  in  open  field,  and  the  provision  that 
time  may  be  taken  out  only  three  times 
during  the  half,  without  the  loss  of  two 


THE  STENTOR 


yards  or  removing  the  player  from  the 
game. 

On  the  whole,  those  who  are  fam- 
ilial with  the  game  expect  less  fatalities 
this  year  than  in  previous  years.  How- 
ever, we  must  expect  a  few  injuries, 
for  every  branch  of  sport  is  bound  to 
have  them;  and  such  a  strenuous  game 
as  foot-ball,  where  men  come  in  con- 
tact with  each  other  with  great  force, 
cannot  but  have  its  share. 

It  must  be  said  in  favor  of  the  re- 
vised rules  that  they  unquestionably 
place  the  smaller  colleges  on  a  more 
equal  competing  basis  with  the  larger 
colleges  and  universities,  than  the  old 
rules,  in  that  they  put  a  premium  on 
speed  and  skill,  rather  than  on  weight. 
Herein  lies  Lake  Forest's  opportunity, 
if  she  will  only  avail  herself  of  it. 

This  year,  we  have  more  available 
material  in  college  for  the  game,  than 
we  had  last  fall;  but  as  yet,  it  has  not 
been  very  conspicuous  upon  the  ath- 
letic field.  It  will  be  quite  impossible 
to  develop  a  team  out  of  twelve  or 
fourteen  candidates,  and  in  order  to 
make  a  respectable  showing  for  the 
college  this  fall,  we  must  have  more 
men, 

New  men  are  beginning  to  appear 
on  the  field,  but  with  some  degree  of 
irregularity.  However,  prospects  are 
brightening  up,  and  if  the  increase  in 
numbers  continues,  we  will  undoubted- 
ly be  able  to  develop  good  quality 
from  our  quantity. 

The  few  men  who  have  been  work- 
ing hard  and  consistently  since  the 
practice  started  have  been  making 
very  favorable  progress,  and  deserve 
great  credit  for  their  loyalty,  not  only 
to  the  sport,  but  to  their  College  as 
well.  If  the  other  available  men 
would  follow  the  example  set  by  these 
men,  we  could  put  a  team  upon  the 
gridiron  this  fall  that  would  ably 
represent  its  Alma  Mater. 


FOOT  BALL  SCHEDULE. 

Manager  Palmer  has  experienced 
much  trouble  in  arranging  this  year's 
football  schedule.  The  schedule  as  ar- 
ranged last  spring  was  spoiled  by  the 
cancelation  of  games  with  Armour  In- 
stitute, Knox,  Northwestern  College 
and  St.  Viateurs,  these  four  colleges 
having  dropped  the  game.  Because 
of  this  it  was  necessary  to  arrange 
games  with  four  teams  that  we  have 
never  played  before,  namely;  Carroll 
College  of  Waukesha,  Wis.;  Oshkosh 
Normal,  Beloit  and  Saint  Louis  Uni- 
versity. 

The  schedule  as  it  now  stands  con- 
tains six  college  games  and  one  open 
date,  which  will  probably  be  filled  with 
an  out-of-town  game.  Four  of  these 
games  are  to  be  played  at  home,  more 
than  we  have  ever  had  before. 
Oct.  13 — Carroll  College  on  Farwell  Field. 

,:   20 — Marquette  College  on  Farwell  Field. 

"    27 — Open. 
Nov.  3 — Oshkosh  Normal  on  Farwell  Field. 

"     10 — Beloit  at  Beloit. 

17 — Monmouth  on  Farwell  Field. 

"    24 — St.  Louis  U.  at  St.  Louis. 


President  Harlan  and  Dr.  Boyle- 
are  working  out  a  plan  by  which  once 
a  month  there  will  probably  be  a  union 
Vesper  Service  in  the  Church  for  the 
College,  Academy  and  Ferry  Hall.  At 
some,  if  not  all,  of  these  services  there 
will  be  special  music.  The  other 
services  of  the  month  will  be 
held  in  the  College  and  school 
Chapels,  each  of  the  three  departments 
having  its  own  serviee.  At  the  Col- 
lege Vesper  Service,  on  one  of  these 
Sundays,  it  is  hoped  that  about  once  a 
month  we  may  have  the  opportunity 
of  hearing  some  distinguished  preach- 
er from  the  outside.

An  Explanation. 

Some  explanation,  perhaps,  is  due 
our  readers  for  the  late  appearance  of 
the  first  issue  of  the  STENTOR.  The  de- 
lay has  been  unavoidable.  The  editor 
and  the  manager-elect,  Mr.  Rath  and 
Mr.  C.  Talcott,  men  whom  we  shall 
miss  in  many  ways,  other  than  as  mem- 
bers of  the  Stentor  Board,  somewhat 
unexpectedly  entered  eastern  colleges 
this  fall,  thus  leaving  two  vacancies  in 
the  Board.  These  vacancies  the  Sen- 
ior class  took  upon  itself  to  fill.  This 
patched-up  Board  has  been  consider- 
ably handicapped,  but  we  are  earnest- 
ly endeavoring  to  make  the  Stentor 
all  it  would  have  been,  and  above  all 


to  make  it  worthy  of  bearing  the  seal 
of  Lake  Forest  College. 

Our  Policy. 

The  college  paper  has  a  place 
somewhat  unique  in  the  newspaper 
world.  It  must  depend  upon  its  con- 
stituency, not  alone  for  financial  sup- 
port, but,  equally,  for  its  general  tone, 
aye,  its  very  content.  For  this  reason, 
partly,  it  is  impossible  to  lay  down  an 
absolute  policy:  the  policy  must  shape 
itself  to  meet  the  various  and  varying 
needs  of  the  college  community. 

But  we  venture  to  lay  down  a  few 
broad  principles  which  will  largely 
govern  the  attitude  of  the  paper.  The 
Stentor  is  primarily  a  student  organ; 
it  must  in  a  large  measure  reflect  stu- 
dent opinion.  But,  at  the  same  time 
it  has  a  very  considerable  reading  pub- 
lic in  the  Alumni  and  the  townspeople. 
Our  pen  must  never  lose  sight  of  that. 
Again,  the  Stentor  has  no  place  in  its 
columns  for  pessimism,  or  any  un- 
wholesome "knocking" — it  must  be  opti- 
mistic (! !)  Neither  has  it  space  for 
petty  factional  contentions. 

As  to  its  general  character,  the 
Stentor  willcontinucjto  be, first  of  all, 
a  newspaper,  and  then  a  literary  pa- 
per. We  hope  to  strengthen  the  liter- 
ary department,  but  that,  gentle  read- 
er, will  depend  on  you\ 

As  to  Hazing. 

It  was  with  a  sigh  of  relief  that  we 
heard  the  announcement  of  last  Mon- 
day which  brought  to  a  peaceable 
close  the  unfortunate  incident  which 
has  lately  so  stirred  the  college  com- 
munity and  given  us  so  much  undesir- 
able notoriety.  Whatever  we  may 
think  of  the  question  of  hazing,  in  gen- 
eral, and  of  the  wisdom  of  the  faculty's 
method  of  approaching  that  question, 
we  are  heartily    glad    that   the    death-

The  first  football  game  of  the  sea-

for  the  Academy  over  English  High 
School  of  Chicago  by  a  score  of  15  to 
•0.  Although  the  team  showed  lack  of 
practice  the  individual  work  was  of  a 
high  order.  The  old  men  on  the  team 
all  displayed  something  of  their  last 
year's  form.  Bedell,  McClurg,  Simons 
and  Savage  among  the  new  men  were 
always  in  the  play.  While  many  of 
the  plavs  allowed  by  the  new  rules 
were  used  still  the  tactics  in  vogue  last 
year  were  always  used  when  the  team 
gained  consistently.

When  the  girls  gathered  in  the 
chapel  Wednesday  afternoon,  Septem- 
ber ig,  for  the  opening  service,  one 
could  see  that  the  work  of  Miss  H  ughes, 
the  Faculty,  and  students  during  the 
past  year  had  not  been  in  vain.  There 
is  a  total  enrollment  of  128  girls — 117 
boarding  pupils  and  11  day  pupils. 
Ferry  Hall  is  full  and  we  are  proud 
to  say  that  the  long-hoped-for  waiting 
list  is  now  a  reality. 

There  are  several  new  members 
of  the  Faculty.  Miss  Emily  Dixon  of 
Lakeville,  Conn.,  takes  Miss  Julia 
Pickett's  place  as  teacher  of  English 
and  History.  Miss  Dixon  is  a  gradu- 
ate of  Mt.  Holyoke,  and  taught  last 
year  in  that  college. 

Miss  Edwina  Dorland  of  Chicago 
takes  Miss  Hewitt's  place  as  librarian 
and  Miss  Deyo's  place  as  teacher  of 
Greek.  She  is  a  graduate  of  the 
University  of  Chicago. 

One  new  position  has  been  added 
to  the  Faculty,  that  of  official  chaperon. 
Miss  Darrow  of  Denver,  holds  the  pos- 
ition. She  was  chaperon  at  Rockford 
College  last  year. 

Mr.  Victor  Heinze,  of  the  Cosmo- 
politan School  of  Music   and  Dramatic 


Art  of  Chicago  and  formerly  director 
of  the  Heinze  School  of  Leschetizky 
Piano  Playing  is  director  of  the  piano 
department.  Mr.  Clarence  Eidam  of 
Chicago,  a  pupil  of  Mr.  Heinze,  has 
been  chosen  assistant  in  the  depart- 
ment. The  whole  department  is  under 
the  critical  supervision  of  Mr.  Heinze. 
Miss  Annie  Hughes  has  charge  of 
the  infirmary. 

The  Y.  W.  C.  A.  entertained  the 
second  Friday  night  at  a  baby  party. 
The  new  girls  and  Faculty  came 
dressed  as  babies,  and  the  old  girls  as 
nurses.  The  children  marched  and 
played  in  the  amusement  hall,  then  re- 
freshments of  cookies,  animal  crackers, 
candy  and  peanuts  were  served.  The 
party  ended  with  singing. 

The  Senior  class  organized  early 
in  the  week  with  a  dozen  members. 
The  following  officers  were  elected: 

President,  Edna  McEldowney. 

Vice  President,   Zola  Harry. 

Secretary,  Esther  Stewart. 

Treasurer,  Ruth  Moerdyke. 

Last  Friday  noon  the  Juniors 
daringly  announced  their  meeting  for 
organization,     evidently      relying      on 


THE  STENTOR

their  number  to  protect  them.  They 
found  that  the  Seniors  were  more  than 
a  match  for  them,  and  there  was  no 
meeting  that  noon.  That  evening 
they  secretly  gathered  and  organized, 
■electing  the  following  officers: 

President,  Florence  Baker. 

Vice  President,  Alice  Palmer. 

Secretary,  Helen  Chesley. 

Treasurer,  Mabel  Hardin. 

Dr.  Boyle  addressed  the  Y.  W.  C. 
A.  at  its  first  prayer  meeting  service 
September  26.  This  was  the  first  of 
a  series  of  talks  on  the  book  of  Philip- 
pians.     Zola  Harry  sang. 

Dr.  Harlan  and  Dr.  Boyle  were 
present  at  the  opening  chapel  service 
to  welcome  the  new  girls  back  to 
the  school,  and  the  old  girls  back  from 
their  summer  vacation. 

The  first  Friday  evening  each  old 
girl  took  two  new  girls  to  dinner  and 
afterward  to  the  amusement  hall,  and 
a  part  of  the  evening  was  spent  in 
dancing. 

The  next  Saturday  evening  the 
Faculty  gave  the  usual  reception  to 
the  girls.  Everyone  thoroughly  en- 
joyed this  opportunity  to  get  acquaint- 
ed. 

Most  of  the  Faculty,  Seniors  and 
new  girls  attended  the  reception  given 
Thursday  afternoon,  Sept  27,  by  Dr. 
and  Mrs.  Harlan.  It  was  a  very  en- 
joyable affair  and  helped  greatly  to 
increase  the  feeling  of  friendliness  be- 
tween the  three  departments. 

The  Ferry  Hall  reunion  will  be 
held  October  18  and  20.  Hosts  of  old 
girls  are  planning  to  come  and  a  great 
time  is  expected.  The  program  will 
be  as  follows:  Friday  evening,  a  re- 
ception; Saturday  morning,  an  enter- 
tainment; Saturday  noon,  class  re- 
unions; Saturday  afternoon,  exercises 
in    Smith    Hall    including    a   historical 


address  by  Dr.  McClure  and  addresses 
by  Dr.  Nathaniel  Butler  of  the  Univers- 
ity of  Chicago,  and  Dr.  Halsey.  Sat- 
urday evening  there  will  be  an  inform- 
al supper  and  toasts. 

Many  old  girls  have  been  about 
the  house  since  school  opened, 
Mary  Windle,  Julia  Bocher,  Frances 
Noak,  Maud  Springer,  Florence  Cum- 
mings,  Sarah  Monier,  Ethel  Rogerson, 
Edna  Bruen  and  Louise  Graham. 

Miss  Eloise  Brinkman  '05,  was 
married  October  1,  to  Mr.  Milo  White 
of  Fremont,  Mich. 

On  November  29  will  occur  the 
marriage  of  Miss  Louise  Graham  to 
Mr.  Charles  Dudley  of  Grand  Rapids, 
Mich.  Mr.  Dudley  is  a  brother  of  Miss 
Helene  Dudley  '06. 

Miss  Emma  Paddock  sails  in  a  few 
days  for  Europe  with  her  mother.  In 
London  she  will  be  married  to  Mr. 
Pablo  Horns,  a  native  of  Spain.  The 
home  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Horns  will  be  in 
Paris. 

Miss  Julia  Pickett  is  spending  the 
autumn  in  the  White  Mountains,  at 
North  Woodstock,  N.  H. 

The  Christian  Association  room 
has  been  moved  from  the  third  floor 
parlor  to  Smith  Hall. 

Miss  Bertha  Kunz-Baker,  who 
gave  a  reading  at  Ferry  Hall  last 
winter,  will  give  a  course  of  seven 
lectures  and  readings  at  Ferry  Hall, 
beginning  Nov.  12.  Mrs.  Baker  has 
just  returned  from  a  trip  abroad, 
where  she  has  been  collecting  material 
for  her  winter's  work. 

Last  Sunday  evening  at  Vespers, 
Mr.  Needham  gave  a  talk  reviewing 
the  Life  of  Christ  as  studied  in  the 
Bible  classes  last  year.  After  this  the 
classes  will  be  resumed  continuing  the 
work  where  it    was  dropped    last  June.

THE  STENTOR 


ALUMNI. 

Through  no  fault  of  the  present 
Editors,  the  first  number  or  the  STKN- 
TOK  goes  late  to  its  other  friends  and 
to  the  Alumni.  But  the  usual  number 
af  issues  will  be  sent  out  during  the 
year,  and  the  present  board  of  editors 
is  disposed  to  give  ample  space  for 
news  of  the  Alumni  .  .  '• 

How  much  of  this  news  there  shall 
be,  depends  upon  the  Alumni  them- 
selves; a  few  items  come  unsought 
and  therefore,  doubly  welcome,  but  al- 
most all  that  appears  in  this  column  is 
drawn  as  with  forceps.  We  want  "live" 
matter  out  of  your  own  doings  and  ex- 
periences; the  only  duty  of  the  editor 
should  be  to  change  what  comes  to 
him,  from  the  first  to  the  third  person. 

This  number  of  the  STENTOR,  ac- 
cording to  the  custom  of  the  last  few 
years,  is  sent  out  to  a  large  number  of 
Alumni  and  former  students,  to  re- 
mind them  that  the  thirty-first  year  of 
the  College  is  now  opening,  and  in  the 
the  hope  that  they  will  wish  to  follow 
the  events  of  the  year  through  sub- 
scribing to  the  paper.  By  such  sub- 
scription you'll  keep  in  touch  with  a 
live  institution,  and  help  us  to  make  a 
better  paper. 

The  first  Autumn  meeting  of  the 
Chicago  Alumni  Club  was  held  at  the 
Press  Club  on  the  morning  of  October 
ist,  with  an  attendance  of  about  twen- 
ty-five. In  the  absence  of  President 
Betten,  the  Vice-President,  A.  O. 
Jackson  occupied  the  chair.  No  busi- 
ness was  transacted  beyond  the 
appointment  of  a  committee  to  find 
a  place  where  the  club  can  meet 
in  more  private  quarters,  as  its  num- 
bers are  growing,  and  the  average  at- 
tendance is  more  stable.  Beyond  the 
ordinary  conversation,  short  informal 
talks  were  given  by  Benedict,  J.  H. 
Lee,  Crozier,  Lewis  and  Clos. 


The  following  extract  from  the 
Logansport,  lnd.,  Journal  of  Sept.  13th,, 
speaks  for  itself,  and  for  "Fergy's" 
special  brand  of  enthusiasm.  The  roll 
of  clubs  now  stands  Chicago,  New 
York,  Logansport. 

"The  first  annual  meeting  of  the 
Lake  Forest  Club  was  held  last  night 
at  the  Burnett  Hotel.  The  club  is 
composed  of  graduates  and  former 
students  of  Lake  Forest  University, 
living  in  this  city.  Twenty  members 
of  the  Club  were  present  at  the  meet- 
ing, which  concluded  with  a  banquet. 
Officers  for  the  coming  year  were 
elected  and  are:  VV.  H.  Ferguson, 
President;  James  Kimbrough,  Vice-

New    Buildings 


Great  interest  has  been  manifested 
among  the  students,  alumni  and  friends 
of  the  College  in  the  plans  for  the  new 
buildings  which  are,  a  few  years  hence, 
to  make  Lake  Forest  one  of  the  best, 
and  the  most  beautiful  colleges  in  the 
middle  west.  Accordingly,  President 
Harlan  has  kindly  given  us  the  fol- 
lowing regarding    the    building    plans: 

Blackstone  Hall,  the  first  of  the 
men's  dormitories  to  be  built,  will 
stand  on  the  west  side  of  the  main 
campus  about  175  feet  back  from  the 
Sheridan  Road  and  on  a  line  with  the 
west  wall  of  the  Chapel.  It  will  start 
about  150  feet  south  of  the  porte 
cochere  of  the  Chapel,  and  will  extend 
in  a  southerly  direction,  parallel  with 
the  Sheridan  Road,  toward  that  cor- 
ner of  the  campus  where  the  students, 
on  their  way  back  from  the  Academy 
and  Farwell  Field,  strike  the  diagonal 
foot-path  leading  across  the  campus. 
Near  that  point  the  building  turns 
southeast  at  an  angle  of  45  degrees, 
and  stops  within  a  few  feet  of  the  foot- 
path just  mentioned.  The  building  will 
be  two  stories  high,  except  in  this 
short  leg  of  the  building  standing  at  an 
angle,  where  it  will  be  three  and  a 
half  stories  high,  thus  forming  a  tower 
which  will  be  a  worthy  counterpart  of 
the  beautiful  Gothic  tower  of  the 
Chapel. 

Blackstone  Hall  will  contain 
accommodations     for  from     36    to   38 


students.  There  will  be  eight  suites 
of  rooms  containing  a  study  and  two 
bed  rooms  and  an  open  fire  place. 
The  other  rooms-will  be  single  rooms 
— that  is,  bedroom  and  study  combined, 
and  will  be  cheaper.  The  two  rooms 
in  the  tower  facing  southeast  will  be 
unusually  attractive, 

The  complete  Campus  Plan  calls 
for  the  ultimate  erection  of  an  exact 
counterpart  of  Blackstone  Hall,  so 
reversed  that  its  tower,  together  with 
the  tower  of  Blackstone  Hall,  which, 
would  only  be  forty  feet  away,  would 
form  a  kind  of  gateway  to  the  campus 
for  the  students  coming  from  the 
Academy  or  Farwell  Fieid.  Beginning 
at  this  point  with  a  three  story  tower 
and  continuing  in  a  southeasterly- 
direction  for  a  few  feet  the  building 
would  then  turn  at  an  angle  of  45 
degrees  and  would  run  due  east,  paral- 
lel to  the  ravine  dividing  the  main 
campus  from  Mr.  Granger  FarwelPs 
property.  This  last  mentioned  por- 
tion of  the  second  dormitory  would 
be  two  stories  high  and  would  thus 
form  the  exact  counterpart  of  the  cor- 
responding portion  of  Blackstone. 

These  two  dormitories,  when  com- 
pleted, will  form  a  remarkably  beauti- 
ful group.  The  style  is  to  be  Tudor- 
Gothic,  and  material  will  be  red  brick,, 
with  stone  trimmings. 

If  favored  by  good  weather,  the 
contractors  expect   to  get    Blackstone

Lahe  Forest  40,  Carroll  College   4. 


First  Game  Under  New  Rules  Easy  Victory. 

The  game  last  Saturday  between 
Lake  Forest  and  Carroll  College 
showed  that  this  year's  squad  though 
light,  more  than  makes  up  for  its  lack 
of  weight  by  speed  and  aggressive- 
ness. The  two  teams  were  of  about 
equal  weight,  and  this  being  the  first 
game  for  Lake  Forest  under  the  new 
rules  no  one  expected  such  a  large 
score. 

Captain  Gibbs  won  the  toss  and 
chose  the  west  goal.  The  kickoff  went 
to  Callahan  who  was  downed  on  our 
40  yard  line.  Two  short  gains  were 
made  through  the  line  and  Callahan 
punted.  Carroll  failed  to  gain  and 
punted  to  Milner,  losing  about  tvventy 
yards  on  the  exchange  of  kicks. 
Shroyer  and  Keithley  were  good  for 
seven  yards  and  Callahan  tried  a  place 
kick  but  failed.  Carroll  was  again 
forced  to  punt  and  then  the  fun  began. 
Paul  Stoltz  started  on  a  quarter  back 
run  around  right  end  and  made  a  for- 
ward pass  to  Callahan,  which  netted 
about  twenty  yards,  then  Milner  was 
sent  around  left  end  for  thirty  more 
and  Callahan  was  pushed  over  for  the 
first  touchdown  after  about  seven 
minutes  of  play.  Keithley  kicked 
goal. 

After  this  the  game  was  much  the 
same.  Captain  Gibbs  and  Shroyer 
could  always  be    counted    on   for    sub- 


stantial gains.  Milner  and  Callahan 
broke  away  for  several  long  runs;  and 
Keithley  made  a  perfect  score  at 
kicking  goals. 

Carroll's  only  score  came  toward 
♦Le  last  of  the  second  half  when  Wil- 
liams made  a  pretty  place  kick  from 
the  thirty  yard  line. 

The  new  men  showed  up  well.  Paul 
Stoltz  ran  the  team  with  excellent 
judgement;  Mather  looked  good  at 
end,  and  Newport,  Berkheiser  and 
Maguire  were  strong  in  the  center  of 
the  line.  Several  other  new  men 
were  put  in,  but  too  late  in  the  game 
to  do  much. 

Captain  Gibbs  was  fairly  well 
pleased  but  thought  that  the  game  was 
too  easy  to  determine  the  real  strength 
of  the  team  and  intimated  that  a  little 
hard  scrimmage  was  needed  to  take 
off  a  few  rough  edges  before  the  Mar- 
quette game.

Great  credit  is  due  the  men  on 
the  Carroll  team  for  their  sportsman- 
like conduct  throughout  the  game. 
They  played  a  clean  game  and  took 
the  defeat  gracefully. 

Meeting  of  Athletic  Association. 

The  first  meeting  of  the  Athletic 
Association  was  held  last  Friday  even- 
ing atlthe  Art  Institute.  The  meeting 
was  held  largely  for  the  purpose  of 
arousing  enthusiasm  for  the  ensuing 
football  season — and  particularly  for 
last    Saturday's  game. 

A  test  vote  was  incidentally  taken 
to  "feel  the  pulse"  of  the  students,  in 
regard  to  their  desire  to  continue  the 
game  of  football  at  Lake  Forest  Col- 
lege. The  result  was  an  enthusiastic 
and  unanimous  acclamation  for  its  re- 
tention as  one  of  the  departments  of 
our  athletics. 

Coach  Vaughan  addressed  the 
meeting,  and  said  that  the  college 
spirit,  from  an  athletic  viewpoint,  that 
has  thus  far  been  displayed  on  the 
campus,  was  more  spontaneous  and 
sincere  than  he  had  ever  seen  it  since 
his  arrival  at  Lake  Forest  College 
as  coach.  He  spoke  very  hopefully 
for  a  very  successful  football  season; 
that  the  team  will  furnish  the  best 
football  in  its  power.  All  that  is  want- 
ed is  staunch  support  and  loyalty  on 
the  part  of  the  students! 

The  following  officers  of  the 
Association  were  elected:   . 

Vice  President — Chester  Wharton. 

Treasurer — Howard  Shroyer. 

Secretary — Floyd  Berkheiser. 

It  was  also  arranged  that  hence- 
forth, a  committee  composed  of  the 
managers  of  the  Athletic  and  Debating 
teams  and  the  Garrick  and  Glee  Clubs, 


should  do  <)•//  the  soliciting  and  con- 
trolling of  contributions  from  outside 
friends  and  supporters  of  the  various- 
students  enterprises. 

The  other  speakers  were  Keithley,. 
Gibbs  and  Palmer. 

Hand  Ball. 

Some  interest  is  being  aroused  in 
hand  ball.  Few  better  games  than 
this  can  be  found  for  the  developement 
of  speed  and  the  use  of  both  hands 
with  precision.  Through  the  kindness 
of  Mr.  Crozier  the  court  in  the  gym- 
nasium has  been  rebuilt  and  Mr.  Brad- 
street  is  on  hand  with  a  rule  book,, 
ready  to  coach  those  who  wish  to 
learn  the  game.  Efforts  are  being 
made  to  arouse  enough  interest  to 
make  possible  a  tournament  with  a  cup 
for  the  winner. 


THE    FIRST  BONFIRE. 

The  men  of  the  class  of  '10  seem  to 
be  possessed  with  a  very  energetic  and 
commendable  enthusiasm.  On  the 
evening  after  the  football  victory,  last 
Saturday,  they  found  that  this  enthus- 
iasm had  developed  to  such  propor- 
tions that  it  either  had  to  have  an  out- 
let or  it  would  burst  them  individually. 
The  outlet  took  the  form  of  a  minia- 
ture bonfire.  It  also  formed  an  outlet

Palmer,  Gibbs,  Bloom  '06,  and

Suggestion  to  Freshmen — From 
the  way  the  team  is  playing  we  will 
need  material  for  six  or  seven  bonfires 
— look  around! 


We  wonder  if  the  architects  would 
accept  any  suggestions  for  the  building 
of  the  new  dormitory?  Have  they 
provided  for  a  trunk  room  in  their 
plans?

The  Literary  Societies. 

At  this  time  of  the  year,  it  seems 
fitting,  indeed  almost  necessary,  to 
speak  briefly  of  a  department,  not  in 
the  college  curriculum,  but  which, 
nevertheless,  deserves  the  recognition 
and  careful  consideration  of  every  stu- 
dent, namely,  the  literary  society  work. 

There  can  hardly  be  the  shadow  of 
a  doubt  that  no  other  department 
in  the  college  can  give  one  equal  re- 
turns, in  proportion  to  the  compara- 
tively small  amount  of  time  expended, 
if  he  goes  into  the  work  with  vim.  We 
■do  not  venture  to  make  this  statement 
upon  our  own  authority — it  is  the  ver- 
dict of  experienced  men.       Here  are  a 


few  of  the  claims  of  the  literary  socie- 
ty:— it  teaches  one  to  think  on  his  feet; 
it  makes  him  think  consecutively;  it 
gives  clarity  of  thought  and  expres- 
sion;it  teaches  the  value  of  defeat,  and 
how  to  profit  by  it;  and  it  gives  oppor- 
tunity for  putting  to  practical  use  the 
knowledge  gained  through  study,  trav- 
el, or  any  set  of  experiences — all  this 
and  more  to  him  who  wills! 

At  the  risk  of  being  commonplace 
we  have  made  these  (ew  remarks;  but 
if  the  attention,  especially  of  the  new 
students,  has  at  all  been  directed  to 
this  line  of  work,  it  has  not  been  in 
vain. 

Lake  Forest  has  three  strong  liter- 
ary societies,  ready  to  welcome  you  to 
these  privileges — think  it  over! 

"Private  Ownership" 
of  Ravines. 

Not  long  ago  in  the  course  of  a 
ramble,  we  came  up  from  the  beach 
through  one  of  Lake  Forest's  beauti- 
ful ravines.  Just  as  we  emerged  from 
the  seclusion  of  the  ravine,  we  were 
hailed  by  the  ever  present  watchman 
and  warned  not  to  trespass  again.  It 
It  rather  upset  us  to  be  thus  suddenly 
forbidden    one    of    our  favorite  walks. 

It  made  us  think.  Can  it  be  that 
the  beauty  of  Lake  Forest  is  only  for 
the  few?  Is  it  to  be  enjoyed  only  by 
those  who  are  blessed  (or  cursed)  with 
a  little  more  wealth  than  we  possess? 
Lake  Forest's  greatest  beauty,  next  to 
her  proximity  to  the  lake,  lies  in  these 
ravines,  and  we  believe  that  no  man 
has  the  right  to  forbid  our  enjoying 
them  !  ! 


Professor  Schmidt  offers  a  one- 
half  credit  course  in  Gothic  for  ad- 
vanced students  in  German.  It  comes 
on  Mondays  and  Wednesdays  at  eleven 
o'clock.  Two  years  College  German  is 
prerequisite.

The    following    communication     is 
deemed     very     opportune     and     well 
worth  the  notice  of   the    students    and 
faculty: 
Dear  Editor: 

It  has  been  reported  that 
the  Bookbindery  in  College  Hall  is  to 
be  discontinued.  Permit  me  to  regis- 
ter a  protest.  The  bookbindery  not 
only  affords  what  may  be  termed  a 
most  pleasurable  laboratory  course  in 
English,  but  also  supplies  a  want.  I 
understand  that  last  year  the  book- 
bindery was  so  great  a  commodity  to 
the  students  and  professors  that  nearly 
five  hundred  dollars  were  saved  by 
them  in  binding  magazines  and  rebind- 
ing  delapidated,  but  valuable,  manu- 
scripts and  volumes. 

It  may  be  found  difficult  to  re- 
place Professor  Jack  as  an  instructor 
in  bookbindery,  but  there  is  now  a 
young  man  on  the  campus  who  is  a 
professional  bookbinder  and  who  for 
a  very  nominal  sum  would  take  a  class 
and  would  soon  teach  those  desirous 
of  learning  the  art,  the  most  necessary 
tricks  of  the  trade. 

The  library  expends  nearly  $600 
annually  in  bookbindery.  If  properly 
attended  to  the  college  bindery  could 
do  the  greater  part  of  the  work  at  a 
great  saving.  I  hope  that  the  student 
body  will  feel  with  me  the  great  need 
of  maintaining  this  sub-department  in 
English  and  that  they  will  bring  their 
influence  to  bear  upon  the  authorities 
to  desist  from  discontinuing  the  book- 
bindery. 

Yours  respectfully, 

A  Student. 


PROFESSOR     JACK      TO      SELL      HIS 
TENNYSONIANA. 

It  is  rumored  that  the  notable  col- 
lection of  first  editions  and  other  rare 
copies  of  Tennyson,  which  Professor 
Jack  has  been  gathering  for  many 
years, is  to  be  put  on  sale  next  January. 
The  following  interesting  item,  con- 
cerning this  collection,  appeared  in  The 
Post  of  last  Wednesday: 

A  rare  and    interesting    collection 


is  that  of  the  Tennysoniana  of  Profes- 
sor Albert  E.  Jack  of  Pake  Forest 
University,  said  by  Thomas  J.  Wise  the 
English  collector  and  bibliographer,  to 
be  the  most  notable  collection  of 
Tennysoniana  ever  formed  in  this 
country,  and  comparing  favorably 
with  many  in  England.  In  this  library 
will  be  found  practically  all  of  the  ex- 
cessively rare  privately  printed  poems, 
and  in  immaculate  condition,  in  tne 
original  wrappers  and  uncut,  such  as 
"The  Cup,"  "Promise  of  May,"  "The 
Falcon,"  ''The  Sailor  Boy"  and  other 
first  editions.  Of  the  rarity  of  some 
of  these,  it  is  only  necessary  to  say 
that  of  the  "Promise  of  May,"  for  ex- 
ample, which  was  privately  printed  for 
the  author  in  London,  1882,  only  two 
copies  have  been  offered  at  auction  in 
the  last  twenty  years,  one  being  the 
Arnold  copy,  which  sold  in  May  igoir 
for  $430.  This  was  in  the  original 
wrappers  as  is  the  present  one.  The 
next  year  the  Morgan  copy  bound  in 
morrocco,  brought  $331.  "The  Sailor 
Boy"  of  which  twenty-five  copies  were 
privately  printed  for  the  author  in 
1861,  has  appeared  only  once  bringing 
$275.  "The  Cup"  printed  for  the- 
author  in  1881,  has  fetched  from  $250 
to  $350,  according  to  the  condition 
and  binding.  "The  Falcon,"  printed 
for  the  author  in  1879,  brings  propor- 
tionately the  same  figures.  Besides 
this  quartett  of  excessive  rarities,  there 
are  other  inordinately  scarce  items,  in- 
cluding "Carmen  Secular,"  "Passing 
of  Arthur,"  "Timbuctoo,"  the  first  col- 
lected edition  of  the  poems,  and 
"Poems  by  Two  Brothers,"  as  well  as 
the  original  issues  of  the  various 
magazines  and  other  similar  publica- 
tions in  which  a  poem  of  Tennyson 
has  first  appeared. 


Another    edition    of  Lewis — from 
appearance  a  De  Luxe  edition  too.

The  latest  re- 
port has  it  that 
Professor  Jack  will

not  to  its  former  power.

Last  Saturday  the   Academy  team 
-scored  its  second  victory, defeating  the 
strong  east  side  high  school  of  Milwau- 
kee by  a  score  of  6  to  0.     Lake  Forest 
■was    weakened      by    the    absence     of 
Runkle    and      Simons    but    played    a 
•clever  game.       Bedell    starred    in    the 
line    while    Captain     Schnur    took    the 
honors  in  the    back    field.      The   short 
kick  was  worked     repeatedly  for    good 
gains  and  was  the  cause  of  the  scoring, 
Schnur  getting  the   ball   and    running 
30  yards  for  a  touchdown.

The  Ferry  Hall  Reunion. 

As  the  long  expected  reunion  ap- 
proaches, every  devise  for  ingratiating 
the  weather-man  is  being  put  in  prac- 
tise, lest  he  frown  on  us  and  send  us

vitation  have  been  many,  and  every- 
thing points  to  a  large — very  large — 
and  enthusiastic  celebration.  More

on  Friday  night  than  can  possibly  be 
entertained  at  the  school  and  through

THE   GARRICK   CLUB 


New 


!etl\oci    of   Awarding 
in   Effect 


emberships    Now 


The  usual  manner  of  competing" 
for  membership  on  the  Garrick  Club 
has  been  changed  to  a  more  practical 
method.  The  former  method,  namely 
the  rendition  of  a  reading,  was  hardly 
a  sufficient  proof  of  the  required  his- 
trionic ability,  since  all  readers  and 
elocutionists  are  not  actors,  and  vice 
versa.  An  active  membership  in  the 
Garrick  Club  requires  something  more: 
the  ability  to  portray  a  part  in  word 
and  in  action,  and  in  harmony  with 
the  other  members  of  the  cast,  is 
something  entirely  different  from  re- 
citing "Little  Mabel  at  the  window 
pane"  touchingly  and  expressively. 
It  is  an  allied,  but  quite  different  and 
more  difficult  art.  Therefore  the 
managers  of  the  Club  and  Professor 
Clapp  are  quite  justified  in  demanding 
a  better  proof  of  Thespic  power  than 
a  declamation  affords. 

The  new  method  which  has  been 
adopted  for  deciding  on  who  are  tal- 
ented enough  for  a  place  on  the  club 
is  as  follows:  Two  short  farces,  chosen 
by  Directer  Clapp,  are  to  be  placed  in 
the  library.     Contestants  for  member- 


ship are  to  read  them  over  and  to  de- 
cide upon  the  part  or  parts  in  which 
they  could  best  display  their  ability. 
They  are  then  to  take  these  parts  and 
read  them  privately  to  Professor  Clapp. 
This  will  be  the  preliminary  test. 
The  reading  of  the  part  will  dem- 
onstrate to  Professor  Clapp  whether 
the  contestant  has  enough  ability  to 
go  ahead  in  the  competition.  He  will 
pick  out  the  fifteen  who  prove  most 
promising  and  they  will  form  the  cast 
of  characters  in  a  public  presentation 
of  the  farce.  This  public  presentation 
will  be  the  final  test.  The  contestants 
whole  behavior,  stage  presence  and 
original  interpretation  of  his  lines,  will 
decide  whether  he  is  fit  for  the  Garrick 
Club  or  not. 

There  are  now  more  than  thirty 
who  will  try  for  a  membership  and 
the  competition  is  far  more  spirited 
than  ever  before  in  the  history  of  the 
Club,  and  so  it  should  be  for  the  mem- 
bership on  the  Garrick  is  nearly  as 
great  an  honor  for  the  successful 
student  as  is  one  on  the  Glee  Club, 
debating  or  athletic  teams.  Eight 
memberships  are  open  for  the  contest.

CHEMISTRY  MEETINGS. 

Professor  McKee  has  made  plans 
for  meetings  of  his  chemistry  classes, 
to  be  held  once  a  week,  at  which  papers 
are  to  be  presented  by  the  members 
on  subjects  pertaining  to  chemical 
science.  The  meetings  will  occur  on 
Friday  of  each  week  at  I  p.  m.,  until 
further  notice.  All  interested  are  in- 
vited to  attend. 

At  the  first  meeting,  last  Friday, 
Mr.  Sturdevant  presented  some  facts 
in  regard  to  slight  variations  from  the 
law  of  the  conservation  of  matter,  as 
shown  by  a  number  of  typical  chem- 
ical reactions.  Mr.  Stone  discussed 
a  method  of  making  alcohol  from  saw- 
dust. A  process,  by  which  the  waste 
material  from  saw  mills  can  be  turned 
into  a  valuable  commercial  substance, 
was  invented  about  three  years  ago 
and  has  finally  been  perfected.  As 
the  supply  of  coal  and  oil  gradually 
becomes  exhausted,  the  necessity  for 
the  substitution  of  other  forms  of  fuel 
has  awakened  much  interest  in  the 
subject  of  alcohol. 


QUARTETTE  ASSISTS  IN  G.  0.  P.  CAMPAIGN 

A  double  quartette  consisting  of 
Dickey  and  Barrett,  first  tenor; 
Munger  and  Keithley,  second  tenor; 
Marquis  and  Thompson,  first  bass; 
Talcott  and  McCrea,  second  bass;  is 
assisting  Mr.  David  Jackson  in  creat- 
ing a  perfect  harmony,  in  local  politi- 
cal meetings. 

Last  Tuesday  evening  they  ap- 
peared at  Rockefeller,  and  succeeded 
admirably  in  keeping  the  audience 
awake,  at  least  between  speeches. 
The  quartette  is  to  appear  again  at 
Ravinia  in  the  near  future. 


The  University  of  Pennsylvania 
dedicated  its  new  engineering  build- 
ing Friday. 


NOBLE    PHILOSOPHY    OF    LIFE    OF   LATE 

MISS  WADDELL  ENDOWS  A  HOSPITAL 

BED. 

The  following  clipping,  relating  to 
Miss  Waddell,  an  ex  'or,  who,  it  will  be 
remembered,  died  a  year  ago  last 
spring,  appeared  in  the  Daily  News  of 
last  week.  It  is  a  fine  tribute  to,  and 
it  gives  an  excellent  insight  into,  the 
noble  character  of  the  woman: 

"This  is  my  idea  of  making  'life 
worth  living.' 

Thus  ends  the  creed  of  Miss 
Louise  M.  J.  Waddell,  who  died  re- 
cently. The  short  paragraph  of  phil- 
osophy which  was  her  legacy  to  the 
world,  has  been  printed  on  cards,  and 
the  sale  of  these  to  charitable  persons 
of  Chicago  has  netted  $2,000  to  endow 
a  bed  in  the  Michael  Reese  hospital 
to  be  named  in  honor  of  Miss  Waddell 

The  young  woman  who  was  a 
nurse  at  the  hospital,  left  behind  her 
some  interesting  maxims  written  on  a 
scrap  of  paper  which  was  found  among 
her  effects.  Through  the  nurses  asso- 
ciation at  the  hospital,  her  philosophy 
was  printed  on  several  thousand  cards, 
which  were  sold  to  endow  a  bed  in 
her  honor. 

"To  be  happy,  hopeful,  bouyant, 
kind,  loving  from  the  very  depths  of 
my  heart,  considerate  and  thoughtful 
regarding  the  peculiarities  and  eccen- 
tricities of  human  nature,  adjusting 
myself  to  each  so  as  to  produce 
harmony  and  not  friction;  to  be  pure 
in  word,  thought  and  deed;  broad 
minded  and  liberal,  not  given  to  petty 
denunciation  of  my  fellows;  moderate 
in  methods  of  life;  never  adding  a 
burden  or  a  sorrow  where  a  little  fore- 
thought would  give  pleasure;  not 
hasty  in  speech  or  action;  sincere, 
candid  and  truthful  in  ever}-  detail; 
conscientious  in  the  execution  of 
every  duty;  composed,  unpretentious 
and  simple,  keeping   close    to    nature's

heart  and  always  relying  on  Him,  I 
most  earnestly  try  to  serve;  keeping 
ever  before  me  that  exemplary  life  as 
my  rule  of  conduct  toward  men,  thus 
creating  an  influence  for  good.  This 
is  my  idea  of  making  'life  worth 
living'  ". 


VESPER  SERVICE 

President  Harlan  addressed  the 
students  last  Sunday  afternoon  on 
"Friendship";  taking  for  his  text 
Proverbs  27:17,  "Iron  sharpeneth  iron; 
so  a  man  sharpeneth  the  countenance 
of  his  friend".  The  speaker  showed 
clearly  the  accountability  of  a  friend 
for  the  life  and  character  of  his  friend; 
it  is  the  highest  office  of  friendship  to 
strengthen  the  character  of  a  friend, 
but  it  is  a  perverted  and  accursed 
friendship  that  drags  another  down  in- 
to sin. 

It  was  an  altogether  interesting 
and  timely  message.

whether  the  architects  have  provided 
for  trunk  room  in  their  plans  for  the 
new  dormitory,  the  President  writes, 
"There  will  be  two  trunk  rooms,  taking 
up  the  entire  attic  space,  measuring  in 
all,  over  go  feet  by  35.  Will  that  be 
enough  for  the  boys'  trunks?" 


THE   FORESTER. 

The  manager  and  editor  of  the  '07

ment: 

"The  1908  Forester  boxes  are  to  be 
ound  in  North  Hall,  College  Hall  and 
Lois  Hall  ready  to  receive  contribu- 
tions. This  year  at  least  three  prizes

given  for  the  best  collection  of  jokes, 
five  dollars  for  the  best  original  idea 
of  any  kind  and  three  dollars  for  best 
local  farce.  As  the  Forester  will  ap- 
pear earlier  than  last  year's  book  the

The  men  of  the  Association  were 
considerably  disappointed  by  the  non- 
appearance, last  Thursday  night.of  Mr. 
McKnight,  student  secretary  for  Illinois 
His  failure  to  appear  was  probably 
due  to  a  confiiction  of  dates.  We  hope 
to  have  him  here  very  soon. 

Wharton  took  charge  of  the  meet- 
ing, taking  for  the  subject  the  story  of 
David  and  Goliath.  "Be  Yourself" 
and  "Despise  not  humble  instruments"' 
were  the  chief  thoughts  brought  out  in 
the  meeting'. 


I  never  saw  a  purple  cow, 

I  never  hope  to  see  one; 

But  I  can  tell  you  anyhow, 

I'd  rather  see  than  be  one. — Ex.

THE  STEXTOR 


Day  of  Victory  for  Lake  Forest 


LAKE  FOREST  11,      MARQUETTE  0. 


MilwauKeeans   Put   up  a  Game   Fight,  But 
Are  a  Little  too  Slow. 

Lake  Forest  played  her  second 
game  of  the  season  on  Farwell  Field 
last  Saturday,  against  Marquette  Col- 
lege of  Milwaukee,  and  was  victorious 
again.  The  visitors  had  a  heavy  team, 
outweighing  us  by  almost  ten  pounds 
to  the  man,  but  they  lacked  the  speed 
and  endurance  shown  by  our  men. 

As  was  expected  the  game  was 
hard  fought  throughout.  The  playing 
was  fast  and  snappy  and  for  the  greater 
part,  in  the  open,  which  pleased  the 
spectators.  The  general  opinion  is 
that  it  was  the  fastest  andjbest'  played 
game  seen  here  for  some  time. 

Punting  was  frequent  but  the  for- 
ward pass  and  short  kick  were  seldom 
used,  most  of  the  gains  being  made  by 
straight  football.  In  the  first  half 
Lake  Forest  played  a  defensive  game, 
punting  frequently  on  first  down. 
Although  the  ball  was  in  Marquette 
territory  most  of  this  half  our  only  at- 
tempt to  score  was  a  place  kick  which 
fell  short. 

After  the  first  few  minutes  ot 
play  it  was  seen  that  Marquette  could 
do  nothing  through  the  line,  and  on 
nearly  every  attempt  to  circle  our 
•ends  the  runner  was  thrown  back  for  a 
loss. 

In     the     second     half    our     team 


started  in  to  score,  and  the  ball  was 
carried  steadily  down  the  field.  Calla- 
han made  a  pretty  run  of  twenty 
yards  and  Milner  covered  the  remain- 
ing thirty  for  the  first  touchdown, 
while  the  defense  was  waiting  for  the 
play  to  start.  Keithley  tried  to  kick 
goal  from  a  difficult  angle  and  missed 
by  a  few  inches.  Soon  after  this 
Mather  got  the  ball  on  a  short  kick 
and  ran  fifteen  yards  for  the  second 
touchdown  and  Keithley    kicked    goal. 

The  Marquette  players  the  most 
in  evidence  were  Captain  Foley,  Hake 
and  Nolan.  For  the  stars  for  Lake 
Forest  read  the  line-up.

Did  you  notice    the    "Swede"    on

The  rumor  is  out  that  Stagg  wants 
Milner  to  coach  Eckersall.

and  they  are  all  worth  watching,

WOMEN   ALSO  VICTORIOUS. 


IMPROVEMENTS  IN  GYMNASIUM 


First  Game  of  Season,  Fast  and  Well  Played 
—Miss  Merry  Stars  at  Throwing  Goals. 

The  women's  basketball  team 
opened  its  season  last  Saturday  morn- 
ing by  defeating  the  Waukegan  High 
Schoolgirls  29  to  11  in  an  exciting 
game.  The  Waukegan  team  showed 
excellent  work  at  times  but  was  out- 
classed. 

Miss  Nesbit,  as  usual  took  good 
care  of  center,  while  Hall  and  Stryker 
kept  the  Waukegan  forwards  from 
throwing  too  many  field  goals.  The 
feature  of  the  game  was  the  work  of 
the  Freshmen  forwards,  Haughey  and 
Merry,  especially  the  basket  throwing 
of  Merry  who  made  the  greater  part  of 
Lake  Forest's  score.  The  Lois  Hall 
team  played  an  exceptionally  fast  game 
and  handled  the  ball  well  and  should 
have  little  trouble  in  making  the  sea- 
son a  success. 

Waukegan  High  School  lined  up 
as  follows: 

H.  Palefout,  center;  Payne  and 
Dady,  guards;  Heydecker  and  B.  Pale- 
fout, forwards. 

LTmpire,  Mrs.  A.  A.  Gour.  Referee, 
Morton.     Timekeeper,  Cutler. 


An  Appeal   for  the   Revival   of  Interest  in 
Gymnasium  WorK 

Since  last  season  several  much 
needed  improvements  have  been  made- 
in  the  gymnasium.  The  locker  room 
has  a  new  cement  floor,  a  new  set  of 
steel  lockers,  and  another  shower 
bath  is  on  the  way.  Upstairs  the  hand- 
ball court  has  been  rebuilt  and  work 
has  begun  on  a  new  running  track. 
The  old  track  was  not  banked  properly 
and  for  this  reason  very  little  indoor 
track  work  was  possible,  more  sprains 
than  benefits  resulting  from  the  at- 
tempts. The  new  track,  however,  is 
being  built  on  scientific  lines  and  will 
be  about  four  laps  to  the  mile  longer 
than  the  old  one.  This  will  make  pos- 
sible some   interesting    indoor    meets. 

The  regular  gymnasium  classes 
will  not  begin  work  until  the  latter 
part  of  November,  but  Mr.  Bradstreet 
will  be  in  the  gymnasium  on  Mondays, 
Wednesdays  and  Fridays  and  urges 
everyone  not  out  for  football  to  come 
out  for  cross  country  runs  or  hand  ball, 
as  the  results  of  such  work  are  invalu- 
able to  a  man  whether  he  intends  to 
try  for  a  team  or  not.  Trophies  have 
been  offered  for  both  cross  country 
and  hand  ball  and  are  expected  to  be 
on  exhibition  soon.  These  trophies, 
however,  will  not  be  awarded  unless 
there  is  sufficient  competition,  and  it 
is  up  to  every  man  that  possibly  can, 
to  come  out  of  his  hole  and  help  make 
things  exciting. 

Come  out!  It  will  make  a  man  of 
you  and  besides  a  cup  or  two  would 
look  good  in  your  room. 


Co-eds  of  the  Nebraska  State 
University  will  be  given  instructions 
hereafter  in  boxing  and  swimming  as 
well  as  other  athletic  exercises.

As  To  Library  Hours 

During  the  past  few  years,  there 
have  been  frequent  spasmodic  at- 
tempts among  the  students  of  the  col- 
lege to  secure  better  and  longer  library 
hours.  They  have  been  fruitless,  how- 
ever, chiefly  through  lack  of  continued 
interest,  and  of  an  active  campaign. 
The  question  has  come  up  again  this 
year;  but  this  year  we  feel,  there  is  a 
decidedly  more  active  interest  sur- 
rounding it. 

We  have  an  excellent  library,  few 
better  can  be  found  among  the  colleges 
■of  the  middle  west;  but,  in  all  candor 
we  say  it,  our  library  hours  are  very 
poor.    This  is  the  situation:   the  librarv 


opens  at  eight-thirty  in  the  morning, 
closes  at  twelve;  opens  again  at  one, 
and  closes  for  the  day  at  five.  He 
who  has  a  vacant  period  at  eight,  can 
only  use  half  an  hour  of  it  at  the  library; 
access  to  the  library  is  denied  during 
the  hour  immediately  following  lunch, 
which  would  doubtless  be  one  of  the 
most  popular  reading  hours  of  the  day 
and  the  library  is  not  open  at  all  in 
the  evening  after  dinner,  or  on  Satur- 
day afternoon.  We  probably 
do  not  realize  that  a  large 
majority  of  the  men  students 
are  either  wholly  or  partly 
self  supporting:  that  means  that 
most  of  these  men  have  very  little 
opportunity  of  using  the  library  in  the 
morning,  because  of  classes,  and  in 
the  afternoon  they  are  at  work.  Be- 
sides this,  fully  one-half  the  students 
have  work  in  science,  which  takes 
(theoretically  only  two  hours)  prac- 
tically all  afternoon.  Surely  it  is  no 
wonder  that  no  more  students  use  the 
library  than  are  now  using  it. 

What  we  want  and  really  need,  as 
we  conceive,  is  that  the  library  should 
be  open  a  couple  of  hours  in  the  even- 
ing. We  realize  that  the  libiarian's 
hours  are  long,  as  it  is;  we  understand 
that  this  would  entail  some  little  ex- 
pense for  light  and  heat.  We  know 
too,  that  comparatively  few  small 
colleges  have  taken  such  a  step.  (The 
majority  of  larger  institutions,  how- 
ever, keep  their  libraries  open  till  ten 
in  the  evening.)  But  we  believe  that 
none  of  these  objections  should  stand 
in  the  way  of  this  step  in  our  advance 
toward  the  attainment  of  the  true 
scholarly  spirit,  which  should  character- 
ize Lake  Forest.

The  Academy  football  team  de- 
feated St.  Ignatius  College  last  Satur- 
day thereby  scoring  its  third  successive 
victory  this  season.  The  game  was 
very  easy  and  many  of  the  new  plays 
were  tried,  usually  with  decided  suc- 
cess. Touchdowns  were  made  on  for- 
ward passes  and  short  kicks  largely, 
while  one  place  kick  was  made  by 
Schnur  from  the  30  yard  line. 

Bedell  and  Savage  starred  in  the 
line;  Oswalt  and  Schnur  in  the  back

ALAS!    A  LASS. 

I  saw  her  at    the    Walk  Around 

But  not    again, 
I've  looked  in   class    and    chapel 

All  in  vain. 

I  fear  she's  but  a  visitor, 
A  transient  guest  ; 

Perhaps  a  special  student 
At  the  best. 

A  description  of  her  beauty 
I  cannot  frame  ; 
'T would  be  the  greatest  boon  to  me 
To  know  her  name.

first  meeting  of  the  year  at  the  home 
of  President  Harlan  tonight.  The 
item  of  greatest  interest  in  the  pro- 
gram of  the  evening  will  be  a  series  of 
readings  from  her  own  works,  by  Mrs. 
Mary  Raymond  Shipman  Andrews, 
who  has  written  quite  extensively, 
during  the  past  few  years,  for  the 
prominent  magazines  of  this  country. 


FRESHMAN  BEACH  PARTY. 

The  Class  of  '10  at  last  made  good 
their  escape  on  last  Wednesday  even- 
ing and  hied  them  away  for  a  little 
frolic  on  the  beach.  All  but  three  of 
their  number  were  present  to  partici- 
pate in  the  youthful  gambols,  which 
made  up  the  program  of  the  evening. 
After  spending  thus  pleasantly  some 
two  hours  they  demolished  the  "feed," 
and  went,  singing,  homeward.  Miss 
Davis  and  Joe  Milner  acted  as  chape- 
rones  for  the  class. 


PRESIDENT  GATES  OF  POMONA   COLLEGE 
SPEAKS. 

The  students  were  addressed  last 
Tuesday  at  chapel  by  President  Gates 
of  Pomona  College,  California.  He 
said  in  part:  When  I  face  an  audience 
of  students  I  am  filled  with  despair  and 
hope:  despair  that  so  many  will  go 
through  life  failing  to  get  the  meaning 
of  life;  and   hope,  that  the  others  will 


See  and  understand  the  great  truths 
and  principles  of  life  and  living.  .  „ 
There  is  a  wrong  and  foolish  ambition 
among  the  American  people,  the  de- 
sire to  live  in  wealth  and  luxury;  but 
over  against  the  men  of  foolisn  ambi- 
tions, are  our  mighty  public-spirited 
men.  .  .  .  Wrong  has  no  mortgage 
on  immortality.  .  .  .  Love  is  the 
greatest  thing,  the  principle  that  must 
guide  our  nation  to  its  height  of  glory. 

VESPER  SERVICE. 

The  Vesper  Service  of  last  Sun- 
day afternoon  was  of  unusual  interest, 
and  very  well  attended.  The  talk  of 
th°  afternoon  was  given  by  Mr.  Chas. 
D.  Hurrey,  a  Michigan  '06  man,  and  at 
present  a  member  of  the  International 
Committee  of  the  Young  Men's  Chris- 
tian Association. 

Mr.  Hurrey  stated  that  many  false 
appeals  have  been  made  to  students,, 
in  behalf  of  Christianity,  and  then  he 
enumerated  some  of  the  characteristics- 
of  Jesus  Christ  which  really  command 
the  admiration,  the  homage,  the  love 
of  the  strongest  students  of  our  col- 
leges. Christ,  in  all  his  divinity,  was 
perfectly  natural,  absolutely  without 
cant  or  artificiality;  he  was  rugged,  and 
a  great  lover  of  out-door  life;  he  was  a 
character,  of  the  highest  and  noblest 
achievements;  his  wisdom  was  infinite 
— for  these  reasons,  and  not  because 
of  the  promise  of  future  reward,  or 
punishment,    does    the    personality    of

JAMES    S.    HARLAN,    INTER-STATE   COM- 
MERCE COMMISSIONER. 

A  short  time  ago  we  heard  of  the 
appointment,  by  President  Roosevelt, 
of  James  S.  Harlan>  brother  of  our  own. 
President  Harlan,  to  the  office  of  Inter- 
State  Commerce  Commissioner.  In 
the  Outlook  of  October  27  is  an  article, 
by  H.  S.  Brown,  on  "The  New  Inter- 
State  Commerce  Commissioners,"  in 
which  appears  an  extended  mention  of 
Mr.  Harlan  and  his  appointment,  to- 
gether with  his  picture.  Mr.  Harlan  at 
forty  was  appointed  Attorney-General 
of  Porto  Rico;  at  forty-six  he  is  serving 
as  Inter-State  Commerce  Commis- 
sioner. It  is  said  that  not  a  word  of 
criticism  has  followed  his  appointment. 


SACRED  SONG  SERVICE. 

On  the  coming  Sunday  afternoon 
at  4:45  the  students  of  the  college,  of 
Ferry  Hall  and  the  Academy  will  meet 
with  the  people  of  the  church  in  a  ser- 
vice which  promises  to  be  both  beauti- 
ful and  inspiring.  The  quartette  of  the 
church  will  sing  two  numbers,  one  of 
them  being  the  anthem  "Soft  Floating 
on  the  Evening  Air".  The  Lois  Du- 
rand Hall  Glee  Club  will  give  one  num- 
ber and  it  is  very  probable  that  eight 
college  men  will  sing  "One  Sweetly 
Solemn  Thought."  A  most  attractive 
part  of  the  service  which  will  be  almost 
solely  musical  will  be  two  numbers  in 
which  organ,  harp  and  violin  will  be 
used.  To  close  Miss  Graham  will  sing 
Mascagne's  Ave  Maria  with  organ, 
harp  violin  accompaniment.

Many   Rooters  Expected  to  Go  to   Beloit 
Trip  a  Good  One. 

For  several  years  Beloit  has  been 
one  of  our  chief  opponents  in  track, 
baseball,  and  debate,  but  we  have 
never  played  football  against  them. 

On  Saturday,  November  10,  our 
team  goes  there  for  the  first  football 
game  between  the  two  colleges,  and 
we  must  win.  We  have  a  team  that 
we  can  put  confidence  in,  but  don't  stay 
at  home  and  await  the  result.  There  will 
be  nothing  doing  here  on  that  day. 
Go  to  Beloit  and  help  the  team  win  ! 
You  can  do  it.  Neither  college  has 
any  use  for  quitters,  and  the  game  will 
be  a  fight  from  start  to  finish.  It  will 
be  well  worth  seeing. 

The  trip  is  an  easy  one  to  make, 
being  both  short  and  inexpensive. 
The  team  leaves  here  at  eight  o'clock- 
Saturday  morning  and  will  return  that 
evening.  The  entire  trip  is  on  the 
Northwestern  line,  so  that  there  will  be 
no  inconvenience  caused  by  having  to 
change  from  one  station  to  another, 
and  if  a  sufficient  number  goes  a 
special  car  will  probably  be  chartered. 
Palmer  will  take  the  names  of  those 
who  wish  to  go. 

Get  your  rooting  apparatus  in 
good  working  order  at  the  game  with 
Oshkosh.  Save  your  shekels  and  help 
make  our  only  out  of  town  game  a 
victory  !    1 


Men  in  Good  Condition  for  Saturday's  Game 
—Team  Sees  Chicago-Indiana  Game. 

As  no  game  was  scheduled  for  last 
Saturday,  the  Football  team  took  ad- 
vantage of  the  opportunity  to  see  Chi- 
cago and  Indiana  play  at  Marshall 
Field. 

In  spite  of  the  open  date,  practice 
was  kept  up  as  hard  as  usual  last  week, 
and  signd  practice,  a  stiff  scrimmage 
with  the  heavy  Academy  team  and  an 
occasional  game  of  racer  for  the 
"wind,"  kept  the  men  from  getting 
lazy. 

This  year  the  long  list  of  injured 
that  we  have  almost  always  had  before, 
is  missing.  Only  a  few  minor  injuries 
have  occurred,  and  the  team  should  be 
in  excellent  condition  to  meet  Osh- 
hosh  Normal  next  Saturday. 

Little  is  known  here  of  the  Osh- 
kosh team,  but  it  is  said  to  be  a  strong 
one,  and  a  close  game  is  expected. 

The  Machine. 

The  spirit  shown  this  year  by  both 
the  team  and  the  rooters  has  been 
good.     Keep  it  going. 

We  have  never  played  Oshkosh 
before,  so  we  must  introduce  Lake 
Forest  hospitality  as  well  as  football  to 

them. 

Callahan's  arm  was  sprained  so 
that  he  had  to  have  his  meat  cut  for 
him.  This  may  s>>und  bad — if  you 
don't  know  the  commons'  meat.

Board  of  Control  Meeting. 

At  the  first  meeting  of  the  Board 
of  Control  under  its  new  officers  the 
financial  condition  of  the  Athletic  As- 
sociation was  ascertained  and  plans 
were  discussed  for  the  raising  of  funds 
necessary  to  support  the  various  teams. 
It  was  found  that  the  students  have 
been  slow  in  payingtheir  usual  athletic 
fee. 

Prospects  have  never  been  better 
than  they  are  now  for  good  teams  in 
every  department.  With  good  teams 
we  want  good  schedules,  and  to  have 
these  it  is  necessary  that  every  one 
who  is  interested  in  the  welfare  of  our 
athletics  and  wants  to  see  the  year 
made  a  success,  pays  his  dues  promptly. 

The  Athletic  Board  of  Control 
consists  of  Professor  Burnap  president, 
Wharton  vice-president,  Floyd  Berk- 
heiser  secretary,  Shroyer  treasurer, 
Palmer  and  Gibbs  for  football,  Calla- 
han for  basketball,  Thalman  and  Mil- 
ner  for  baseball,  Talcott  and  Harvey 
for  track,  Dickey  for  tennis,  Miss  Nes- 
bit  for  the  Lois  Hall  Basket  Ball  Team. 


Wharton,  Otto,  and  Crouch  at- 
tended the  State  Y.  M.  C.  A.  Conven- 
tion which  was  held  at  Aurora  on 
Friday,  Saturday,  and  Sunday  of  last 
week.  Over  four  hundred  delegates 
representing  nearly  every  college  or 
university  in  the  state,  and  all  the  va- 
rious departments  of  the  association, 
were  in  attendance. 


The  Sigma  Tau  "At  Home". 

(Note  :     This  should   have    appeared    in  last 
issue.) 

The  Sigma  Tau  Sorority  received 
their  friends  at  home  on  last  Friday 
afternoon.  The  hostesses  are  to  be 
commended  upon  the  quaint  and  taste- 
ful manner  in  which  they  arranged 
the  entertainment.  The  hall  was  beau- 
tifully illumined  and  decorated  with 
autumn  foliage.  A  dainty  luncheon 
and  dancing  added  to  the  general  en- 
joyment, and  all  in  all  a  very  pleasur- 
able afternoon  was  spent  by  all  pre- 
sent. 


The  University  of  Michigan  is  con- 
sidering the  advisability  of  opening 
the  reading  reference  departments  of 
the  libraries  on  Sunday.  Althougth 
the  authorities  have  not  yet  definitely 
made  up  their  mind  to  brave  the  storm 
of  religious  protest  which  will  invaria- 
bly ensue  should  the  libraries  be  open 
on  the  first  day  of  the  week,  it  is  con- 
sidered very  probable  that  they  will 
do  so.  The  proposed  innovation  is 
for  the  particular  benefit  of  the  stu- 
dents in  the  medical  and  other  profes- 
sional schools  who  receive  scant  oppor- 
tunity to  use  the  reading  rooms 
throughout  the  week.  Much  opposi- 
tion has  had  to  be  overcome  even  in 
the  faculty  itself.  Outside  among  the 
people  of  the  state,  it  is  considered 
likely  that  a  general  storm  of  opposi- 
tion will  have  to  be  met  before  the 
proposed  change  can  be  made.  Stud- 
ent opinion,  however,  is  much  in  favor 
of  the  new  scheme. — Daily  Maroon.

of  separating  the  students  from  their

Library  May  Be 
Opened  at  Night. 

We  are  informed,  unofficially  as 
yet,  that  the  petition  of  the  men  of  the 
college  for  the  opening  of  the  library 
in  the  evening  has  not  only  not  met 
with  opposition,  among  those  who 
have  the  library  in  charge,  but  that  it 
has  been  received  with  favor.  This 
practically  means  the  granting  of  that 
petition.  A  meeting  of  the  Library 
Committee  was  held  yesterday;  just 
what  they  did  we  cannot  say,  but  we 
are  partly  assured  that  the  scheme  will 
be  given  a  trial  till,  perhaps,  Christmas. 

If  it  so  happens — as  we  have  every 
reason  to  hope  it  will, — we    have    the 


light  to  make  these  two  appeals:  First, 
those  who  signed  the  petition,  and 
nearly  every  man  signed  it,  are  in  duty 
bound  to  make  better  and  more  con- 
stant use  of  the  library.  If  this  is  to 
become  permanent,  we  must,  make  the 
committee  see  that  it  has  been  a  real 
need.  The  second  appeal  we  would 
make  to  the  professors,  that  they  shall 
insist  even  more  strongly  than  at  pres- 
ent, upon  the  reference  work,  and  out- 
side reading  which  they  assign. 

If  such  results  are  realized — and 
they  should  be — then  this  movement 
will  prove  of  far  greater  worth  than  it 
cost. 

Our  Thanhs,  Mr.   Swift! 

We  know  we  are  voicing  student 
opinion  when  we  express  our  gratitude 
to  Mr.  L.  F.  Swift  for  reconstructing 
the  gymnasium  running  track.  The 
work  is  being  done  on  scientific  lines 
and  is  being  pushed  to  a  rapid  com- 
pletion. The  new-  track  will  afford 
ample  opportunity  for  the  training  of 
runners,  both  short  and  long-distance; 
it  should  considerably  improve  our 
track  work.  This  kindness  of  Mr. 
Swift  means  much  to  us — we  can  best 
show  our  appreciation  by  making  use 
of  the  new  track. 


COMMUNICATION  ON  FINANCIAL  SITUATION 
OF  ATHLETIC  ASSOCIATION. 

By  request  we  print  the  following- 
letter  written  by  Frskine,  "06,  to  Presi- 
dent Harlan  at  the  close  of  the  second 
semester  of  last  year.  The  letter  deals 
with  the  financial  situation  of  the  Ath- 
letic Association  at  that  time,  and  it 
contains  the  basis  of  what  may  almost 
be  termed  a  pledge,  upon  the  strength 
of  which  Frskine  and  Chapman  were 
enabled  to  raise  money  to  cover  the 
deficit.  For  this  reason,  despite  the

formed  in  some  particulars,  and  be- 
cause it  contains  some  points  which 
should  be  discovered  to  the  student 
body,  we  print  it. 

June  22nd,  1906. 
My  Dear  President  Harlan: 

"In  accordance  with  your  request 
I  wish  to  make  some  report  in  the 
matter  of  the  indebtedness  now  rest- 
ing upon  the  Athletic  Association  and 
to  seek  your  counsel  as  to  the  best 
methods  of  meeting  the  present  diffi- 
culty and  avoiding  a  repetition  of  the 
present  indebtedness. 

"We  are  closing  the  year  with  a 
debt  amounting  to  $125.00.  We  feel 
that  some  explanation  is  due  from  the 
student  body  as  to  the  reason  for  this 
debt. 

"During  the  early  autumn  the  for- 
mer President  of  the  Board  of  Trus- 
tees very  generously  offered  to  pay 
half  of  the  expense  of  installing  one 
hundred  new  lockers  in  the  Gymnas- 
ium, besides  repairing  the  old  ones, 
provided  the  students  would  pay  the 
remaining  half.  In  an  excess  of  en- 
thusiasm that  pledge  was  given  by  one 
or  two  men  on  behalf  of  the  student 
body,  without  the  authority  of  the 
Board  of  Athletic  Control.  The  stud- 
ents responded  to  some  extent,  per- 
haps to  the  extent  of  their  ability,  but 
the  amount  proved  to  be  much  too 
large  to  be  saddled  upon  asingle  year's 
budget,  and  at  the  same  time  keep  up 
the  standard  of  our  athletic  work. 

"Thus,  through  no  one's  fault,  in 
particular,  the  Association  drifted  into 
the  position  in  which  it  now  finds  itself 
at  the  end  of  the  college  year.  The 
students  in  control  of  these  matters 
have  been  keenly  mortified  by  the 
outcome  of  the  year  financially. 

"Our  recent  experiences  have  re- 
vealed  more     clear!y    than    ever    the 


faults  and  weaknesses   of   the   present 
system  of  managing  our  athletics: 

1.  There  is  no  proper  co-ordina- 
tion of  responsibility. 

2.  The  schedules  of  games  have 
been  made  out  before  the  funds  are 
secured  to  warrant  their  taking   place. 

3.  There  has  been  no  equitable 
plan  for  securing  these  funds  in  ad- 
vance." 

"Now,  the  students  have  already 
taken  vigorous  steps  to  remedy  these 
abuses. 

"1.  We  have  established  a  new,  a 
rigid  and  conservative  constitution 
which  has  been  drawn  up  in  order  to 
remedy  the  faults  and  weaknesses  just 
mentioned. 

"2.  This  new  constitution  pro- 
vides that  the  regular  athletic  fee  as- 
sessed upon  the  student  body  be 
raised  from  $3.00  to  $5.00  a  semester, 
to  be  used  for  the  support  of  an  ath- 
letic instructor  and  the  balance  to  be 
used  to  carry  on  our  athletic  contests* 

"3.  All  subscriptions  and  expend- 
itures— not  only  for  the  athletics,  but 
for  oratorical  and  debating  purposes — 
will  be  under  the  oversight  of  one 
responsible  body,  with  Mr.  Betten 
[Professor  Burnap  is  now  president  of 
this  association]  and  the  presidents  of 
the  representative  student  organiza- 
tions as  the  executive  committee.  This 
committee  is  to  have  full  control,  so 
that  the  methods  of  raising  and  spend- 
ing money  will  be  based  on  equitable 
and  business-like  principles. 

"In  the  light  of  this  statement  as 
lto  the  causes  of  our  indebtedness,  and 
the  plans  which  the  students  themselves 
have  already  put  in  motion  to  avoid 
such  deficit  in  the  future,  I  am  in  hopes 
that  you  will  approve  of  the  effort  we 
propose  to  make  to  ask  for  some  as- 
sistance from  our  friends  in  Lake

The  writer  is  mistaken  in  saying 
that  the  new  constitution  provides  for 
a  five  dollar  instead  of  three  dollar  fee. 
That  point  was  discussed  last  year  by 
the  Athletic  Board  and  the  change  was 
advocated  by  some  but  it  did  not  go 
into  effect.  Personally,  we  think  it 
should  be  raised,  but  that  is  a  question 
the  Board  will  have  to  meet. 

He  is  misinformed  also  regarding 
the  committee  through  whose  hands 
all  moneys  which  must  be  raised  out- 
side the  student  community  are  to 
pass.  No  provision  has  been  made  for 
such  a  committee  in  the  constitution; 
but  in  the  first  meeting  of  the  Associ- 
ation, this  year,  a  motion  to  that  effect 
was  passed.  This  is  the  important 
part  of  the  letter.  The  need  of  such  a 
committee  is  apparent.  Provision  for 
such  a  committee  has  been  made, 
though  not  in  the  constitution.  It  is 
up  to  us  to  see  that  motion  put  into 
execution  and  that  committee  real- 
ized!!!

NEWS  FROM  OTHER  COLLEGES. 

A  great  deal  of  interest  in  debat- 
ing is  being  shown  at  Northwestern 
this  fall  and  according  to  The  North- 
western many  new  students  are  apply- 
ing for  membership  in  the  various 
debating  societies,  of  which  there  are 
four  in  the  college,  for  men. 

Illinois  has  accused  Coach  Stagg 
of  Chicago,  of  enticing  Watson,  the 
Illinois  football  ex-captain.  Stagg  and 
Watson  both  firmly  deny  the  allega- 
tion. 

The  cross  country  candidates  at 
Wisconsin  held  a  preliminary  work- 
out in  which  the  men  ran  five  miles  in 
12:18,  which  is  considered  very  fair 
work  for  this  time  of  year. 

Northwestern  students  are  taking 
much  interest  in  a  series  of  Socialist 
meetings  held  this  month  in  the  new

night  Mr.  A.  M.  Simons,  the  editor  of 
the  International  Socialist  Review, 
and  Mr.  Seymour  Stedman,  who  is 
well  known  as  a  lawyer,  discussed 
Socialism  from  its  legal  and  economic 
aspects. 

There  are  eighty  candidates  train- 
ing for  the  crew  at  Wisconsin.  The 
interest  in  crew  work  is  not  lacking 
despite  the  fact  that  the  finances  for 
work  in  the  aquatic  department  are 
not  fully  assured.  There  is  some 
prospect  of  a  race  between  the  East 
and  West.  An  eastern  crew  race  on

An  interesting  program  was  ren- 
dered on  Monday  evening.  Devo1 
tional  services  were  conducted  by  Mr. 
Brown.  Mr.  Higgins  then  told  of  a 
few  important  events  in  the  life  of  the 
French  chemist,  Lavoisier,  of  his  great 
work  in  the  interests  of  his  country 
and  of  his  unjust  and  cruel  fate.  "The 
Mission  of  a  College  Paper,"  was  dis- 
cussed by  Mr.  Wharton.  The  college 
paper  does  a  great  service  for  us;  we 
should  give  it  our  support.  The  ques- 
tion for  debate  was  "Resolved,  that 
Lady  Macbeth  was  more  guilty  than 
Macbeth."  The  affirmative  was  sup- 
ported by  Mr.  Crouch  and  Mr.  A. 
Hennings,  and  the  negative  by  Mr. 
Sturdevant  and  Mr.  Schmitt. 

Athenaean. 

At  the  meeting  of  Athenaean  last 
Monday  night  a  very  entertaining  pro- 
gram was  given.  After  devotionals 
by  Chappell,  Palmer  gave  a  very  in- 
structive talk  on  How  to  Read  a  News- 
paper. J.  B.  Kessler  followed  with  an 
account  of  a  cruise  on  Lake  Michigan, 
which  was,  to  say  the  least,  highly  en- 
tertaining. The  debate  on  the  new 
football  rules  which  followed  showed 
up  some  good  new  material.  Palmer 
and  Potter  supported  the  affirmative 
and  Schwartz  and  Robinson  the  nega- 
tive. Four  new  men  were  initiated 
into  membership:  Harvey  'oS,  Igou 
'10,  Bush  '10,  Westervelt  '10.

MICHIGAN  PLANS  TO  GIVE  COMIC  OPERA. 

Michigan  will  probably  give  a 
comic  opera  this  winter.  This  will  be 
the  first  time  that  such  an  attempt  has 
been  made  by  the  Ann  Arbor  school. 

Tentative  work  is  already  under 
way  on  a  production  which  will  be  local 
in  its  setting  and  attempt  to  give  a 
number  of  song  hits  on  local  college 
celebrities.  The  question  of  a  suitable 
hall  is  the  one  which  is  giving  those  in 
charge  of  the  scheme  the  most  trouble. 
The  regular  university  buildings  are 
thought  unsuitable,  and  the  local  thea- 
ters are  not  much  better.  Neverthe- 
less, the  work  is  going  ahead£under  the 
charge  of  Charles  R.  Moore. 

The  opera  will  probably  be  pro- 
duced some  time  between  Thanksgiv- 
ing and  Christmas,  It  is  possible  that 
the  date  will  be  postponed  until  Feb- 
ruary and  March,  when  college  activities 
are  usuallv  dullest. —  Ex.

More    New    Building's 

Three  more    New  Buildings  within  our  Grasp! 
Shall  we  have   them? 


The  Chapel  exercises  of  last  Fri- 
day were  made  memorable  by  the  an- 
nouncement of  a  great  good-fortune, 
which  has  come  to  Lake  Forest  College 
— an  announcement  which  has  all  but 
turned  into  a  reality,  what  has  been 
but  a  dream  of  the  distant  future.  By 
that  announcement  President  Harlan 
made  public  an  offer,  the  fulfilment  of 
whose  conditions,  will  make  possible, 
in  the  immediate  future,  the  erection 
of  three  new  buildings,  besides  the 
dormitory  now  in  process  of  erection. 
Those  conditions  are  that  the  friends 
of  the-College  shall  raise,  by  the  first 
of  March,  an  endowment  of  $50,000  for 
the  Science  Department. 

About  three  years  ago  at  the  so- 
licitation of  President  Harlan,  Mr. 
Calvin  Durand,  one  of  our  staunchest 
friends,  offered  Si  5,000  for  the  erection 
of  a  new  College  Commons.  It  was 
found  last  year,  that  to  erect  a  Com- 
mons which  would  have  a  worthy 
setting  among  the  beautiful  buildings 
called  for  in  the  new  campus  plan, 
that  sum  would  be  insufficient.  Ac- 
cordingly, Mr.  Durand  has  most  gen- 
erously raised  his  offer  to  $22,000,  up- 
on the  condition  above  stated. 

Not  to  be  outdone,  Mrs.  T.  B. 
Blackstone,  widow  of  the  former  pres- 
ident of  the  Chicago    and  Alton    Rail- 


way, in  addition  to  her  gift  of  $36000 
for  the  dormitory  now  being  erected, 
has  offered  $36000  for  the  erection  of 
another  dormitory,  the  counterpart  of 
the  first  building,  together  with  which 
it  will  form  a  fine  architectural  unit, 
Blackstone  Hall.  This  offer  also  is 
subject  to  the  same  condition. 

If  this  condition  is  met,  it  not 
only  means  the  erection  of  these  two 
buildings,  but  it  makes  available  .the 
use  of  the  $30,000  which  Mr.  Andrew 
Carnegie  offered  last  spring  for  the 
erection  of  a  Science  Hall,  provided 
an  equal  amount  was  raised  for  the 
endowment  of  the  Science  depart- 
ment. Moreover,  President  Harlan 
feels  quite  confident  that  Mr.  Car- 
negie will  be  glad  to  meet  $50,000  en- 
dowment by  an  increase  of  his  own 
donation  to  $50,000. 

In  a  nutshell  then:  if  by  March  the 
first,  an  endowment  of  $50,000  for  the 
Science  Department,  be  raised,  work 
will  be  started  immediately  on  a 
Commons,  a  Science  Hall  and  a  second 
Blackstone  Hall,  which  when  com- 
pleted, together  with  the  first  Black- 
stone Hall,  will  cost  in  the  aggregate 
at  least  $124,000,  a  group  of  buildings 
than  which  no  college  in  the  middle 
west  can  boast  a  finer. 

In  making  the  announcement 
President  Harlan  said:

THE  STENTOR 


"Hidden  in  this  little  envelope, 
therefore,  though  you  do  not  see  them 
there  lie  three  splendid  buildings — the 
Carnegie  Science  Hall,  as  well  as  the 
Durand  Commons  and  this  second 
dormitory  from  Mrs.  Blackstone: — 
and  they  will  all  be  YOURS,  my  dear 
young  people,  provided  the  friends  of 
Lake  Forest  will  immediately  set 
about  to  raise  that  $sO,ooo  of  endow- 
ment for  the  Science  Department, 
These  three  golden  apples  are  now 
hanging  before  your  very  eyes.  Will 
the  friends  of  the  College,  here  in  this 
town  and  in  Chicago,  now  furnish  a 
pole  long  enough  to  bring  them  to  the 
ground.  The  Commons  and  both  the 
Blackstone  dormitories  could  easily  be 
made  ready  by  the  summer  time,  and 
the  Chemical  Laboratory  could  be 
finished  by  Christmas,  provided  only 
Lake  Forest  show  herself  earnest  in 
this  matter. 

"With  these  four  buildings  finished, 
the  two  splendid  dormitories  from  Mrs. 
Blackstone,  the  beautiful  Commons 
given  by  that  long-time  friend  of  the 
College,  Calvin  Durand,  and  the  Car- 
negie Science  Hall, — aggregating  not 
less  than  $124,000 — then  the  new 
"General  Campus  Plan,"  which  was  at 
first  looked  upon  as  a  rosy  dream  of  a 
too  optimistic  President,  and  which  in 
a  few  rare  moments  of  discourage- 
ment seemed  at  times  a  little  over- 
sanguine  to  himself,  will  be  realized 
upon  a  scale  and  to  a  degree,  which 
even  he  did  not  dream  was  possible 
within  less  than  one  short  year. 

"In  my  old  age,  if  God  should 
spare  me  that  long,  as  I  shall  think  of 
the  many  generations  of  good  fellows 
who  shall  have  lived  in  these  two 
dormitories  of  Mrs.  Blackstone,  and 
enjoyed  the  camaradarie  of  the  Com- 
mons, and  of  the  many  goodly  youth, 
both    young    men  and     maidens,   who 


shall  have  profited  by  the  work  done 
in  Carnegie  Hall,  I  shall  always  bless 
God  that  He  put  it  into  the  hearts  of 
these  three  generous  people,  and  that 
He  gave  them  the  means,  to  do  this 
great  deed  for  Lake  Forest  College, 
and  for  you,  my  dear  boys  and  girls, 
whom  it  has  been  my  joy  in  all  these 
five  years  to  try  to  serve  as  best  I 
could." 

At  the  conclusion  of  his  talk  the 
President  was  greeted  by  the  congra- 
tulations of  friends  and  the  cheers  of 
a  grateful  student  body,  whose  hopes 
are  bound  up  in  the  future  of  Lake 
Forest  College. 


CHICAGO  CLUB. 

The  November  meeting  of  the 
Chicago-Lake  Forest  Club  was  held  at 
the  Chicago  Press  Club  Monday  even- 
ing, November  5th.  The  attendance 
was  large,  and  the  spirit  most  enthusi- 
astic. Several  men  of  the  class  of  '06 
made  their  initial  appearance. 

Interest  in  the  football  team  re- 
sulted in  a  unanimous  motion  to  ad- 
vance the  December  meeting  to  the 
evening  of  November  17th  at  Lake 
Forest  instead  of  Chicago  in  order  that 
the  Alumni  may  see  the  Monmouth- 
Lake  Forest  game. 

An  unusually  large  number  of  the 
old  boys  will  be  on  the  campus  that 
day. 

Beside  the  attendance  at  the  game 
the  Alumni  will  dine  at  the  Commons 
and  enjoy  an  in-door  ball  game  be- 
tween the  "Odds,"  captained  by  F.  A. 
Hayner,  '95,  and  the  "Evens,"  under 
Captain  W.  M.  Lewis,  '00. 

Committees  are  working  out  de- 
tails, and  the  Alumni  are  promising 
themselves  an  afternoon  and  evening 
of  pleasure  and  profit  amid  undergrad- 
uate scenes.

HALLOWE'EN  AT  LOIS  HALL. 

Last  Wednesday  night  the  spirit 
of  Hallowe'en  and  fun  held  sway  in 
the  library  of  Lois  Hall. 

A  ball  was  given  under  the  au- 
spices of  the  famous  Signor  Marischion 
and  his  orchestra,  and  was  very  well 
attended.  The  merry  revellers  began 
gathering  at  7:30  dressed  in  every  con- 
ceivable costume. 

Partners  for  the  evening  were 
sold  bv  their  shadows  to  the  highest 
bidder. 

After  a  few  dances  the  guests  all  sat 
on  the  floor  while  a  bountiful  repast 
was  served  from  the  well  stocked  bas- 
kets. 

Again  the  dancing  was  taken  up 
and  so,  with  intermittent  numbers  by 
the  Signor  and  his  orchestra  the  even- 
ing passed  only  too  quickly. 

Do  not  let  us  forget  to  mention 
the  unexpected  pleasure  the  guests 
were  treated  to — by  a  piano  solo  ren- 
dered by  John  S.  Bach,  pianist  for  the 
orchestra. 

The  affair  was  perhaps  the  most 
successful  of  its  kind  which  has  been 
held  in  the   Hall. 


THE  GARRICK  CLUB  PRELIMINARIES. 

During  the  past  week  nearly  thirty 
competitors  for  membership  in  the 
Garrick  Club  "tried-out"  in  the  pre- 
liminary test.  Of  these  fifteen  quali- 
fied for  the  finals.  The  finals,  as  stated 
previously,  are  to  consist  of  the  public 
presentation  of  two  farces.  The  farces 
chosen  by  Director  Clapp  are  "Ici  On 
Parle  Francais,"  and  "After  a  Storm 
Comes  a  Calm." 

"Ici  On  Parle  Francais"  is  a  thirty- 
five  minute  farce  in  one  act.  A  mer- 
cenary country  gentleman  transforms 
his  elegant  seaside  residence  into  a 
Resorters'  Home.  In  order  to  attract 
the      resorters,      who      are     generally 


French,  he  places  a  notice  in  the  win- 
dow that  "Ici  On  Parle  Francais,"  and 
sets  himself  to  master  French  by 
studying  an  "at  home"  method  entitled 
"French  Before  Breakfast."  A  young 
Frenchman  sees  the  sign,  and  very 
laughable  situations  and  dialogue  en- 
sue.

whom  insist  on  their  right  to  rule  the 
domestic  domain.  A  friend  of  his, 
Dr.  Prettywell,  prolongs  his  suffering 
by  urging  him  to  let  each  of  them  keep 
on  thinking  that  she  is  the  "mater  fa- 
milias."  His  sister  Fanny,  however, 
ends  the  suffering  by  insisting  on  his 
asserting  his  authority  as  master  of  his 
house.  The  piece  is  most  brilliant  in 
dialogue  and  has  most  laughable  situa- 
tions.

ONE  MORE  SCALP 


LaKe  Forest  4.      OshKosh  Normal  0 

The  close  score  and  the  fact  that 
this  score  was  made  by  a  drop  kick  in 
the  last  five  minutes  of  play  tell  to  a 
great  extent  the  story  of  the  game  on 
Farwell  Field  last  Saturday.  Oshkosh 
had  the  heavier  team  and  some  fast 
men,  a  combination  hard  to  beat. 

In  the  first  half  neither  side  was 
able  to  gain  consistently  and  the  ball 
was  near  the  center  of  the  field  during 
the  entire  half.  Oshkosh  relied  on 
their  weight  and  tried  to  gain  through 
the  line,  while  Lake  Forest  played  a 
more  open  game  and  several  times  it 
looked  as  though  our  backs  would 
surely  get  away  for  a  touchdown  but 
there  was  always  some  one  in  the  way. 

In  the  second  half  both  teams 
went  in  with  the  determination  to 
score  and  the  spectators  began  to  take 
notice. 

Our  men  showed  some  of  their 
usual  snap  and  the  ball  was  rushed 
down  into  Oshkosh  territory.  Here, 
however,  the  visitors  held.  They  were 
forced  to  punt  and  the  ball  was  again 
carried  into  their  territory  but  they 
held  at  the  critical  moment.  Toward 
the  last  of  the  half  Keithley  tried  a 
place  kick  but  the  ball  went  wide. 
Shortly  after  this  and  after  the  five 
minute  warning  had  been  given  he 
dropped  the  ball  over  the  bar,  making 
the  only    score    of    the    game.       Lake 


Forest  kicked  off  and  a  moment  later 
we  received  our  worst  scare  of  the 
game.  On  a  long  forward  pass  Osh- 
kosh got  the  ball  to  our  ten  yard  line 
and  Perce  started  around  left  end  with 
good  interference  but  was  downed  by 
a  good  tackle  by  Baker,  who  took 
Callahan's  place  for  the  last  few 
minutes.  Our  men  held  on  the  five 
yard  line  and  shortly  after  time  was 
called. 

The  game  was  the  slowest  seen 
here  this  year  and  the  playing  though 
hard  was  often  ragged.  At  times  our 
men  showed  the  brilliant  work  which 
has  marked  their  playing  heretofore 
but  they  did  not  seem  to  get  together 
and  the  general  opinion  was  that  the 
team  did  not  do  itself  justice.  Shroyer, 
Sam  Stoltz,  Flven  Berkheiser  and 
Mather  worked  consistently  in  the  line 
and  Paul  Stoltz  played  a  star  game  at 
quarter.  He  was  in  every  play  and 
did  some  sensational  tackling.

On  to  Beloit! 

Next  Saturday,  November  the 
tenth,  we  play  Beloit  at  Beloit,  Wis- 
consin. And  according  to  "dope"  we 
have  at  least  even  chances  with  them. 
So  far  we  have  won  every  game  but 
must  remember  that  they  have  all 
been  played  on  Farwell  Field  and  that 
next  Saturday  we  will  not  have  the 
natural  advantages  that  a  home  team 
has.  One  way  we  can  help  the  team 
win  its  only  out-of-town  game  is  to 
take  as  many  of  these  advantages  to 
Beloit  as  we  possibly  can.  We  can- 
not take  Farwell  Field  but  we  can  take 
the  rooters.  You  are  one  of  the  root- 
ers and  it  is  up  to  you  to  see  that  your 
part  gets  there,  or  if  it  is  you  and  she, 
she  will  probably  think  that  the  case 
is  the  same.  Everyone  that  went  to 
Wabash  last  year  remembers  the  time 
they  had.  This  trip  is  much  easier  to 
make  and  there  will  be  just  as  much 
fun.  Thaw  out  and  go  with  the  team. 
It  leaves  here  at  eight  o'clock  Satur- 
day morning  and  will  return  that  even- 
ing. The  team  deserves  our  support 
and  we  must  see  that  it  gets  it. 

SOPHOMORE-FRESHMAN   GAME. 


Squads  Oat  for  Practice. 

The  Sophomores  and  Freshmen 
have  been  practicing  this  week  for  the 
annual  game.  The  Sophomores  are 
under  the  leadership  of  Louis  Scott, 
who  played  a  star  game  at  end  for  the 
naughty-nine  team  last  year.  Stark, 
full-back  on  the  Academy  team  last 
year,  was  elected  to  the  captaincy  of 
the  Freshmen.  Both  classes  have 
some  husky  material  and  are  working 
hard  to  get  into  good  condition.  An 
exciting  contest  should  result.  The 
date  for  the  game  is  undecided,  but  it 
will  probably  be  played  on  Monday 
either  after  the  Beloit  or  Monmouth 
games. 


WHO  SHALL  WEAR  COLLEGE  MONOGRAMS? 
ARE  THEY  TO  STAND  FOR  SOMETHING? 

During  tne  last  few  months  there 
has  been  a  growing  disregard  of  what 
our  college  letters  L.  F.  mean. 

Last  year  we  passed  more  strin- 
gent rules  governing  the  awarding  of 
the  monograms  and  made  laws  that 
were  meant  to  make  the  letters  mean 
something.  These  rules  were  unani- 
mously indorsed  in  a  mass  meeting 
and  have  made  the  letters  harder  to 
earn. 

There  has  been,  however,  a  lack 
of  meaning  attached  to  them  this  fall. 
It  was  not  thought  necessary  to  pass 
laws  about  the  wearing  of  other  men's 
monogramed  sweaters.  That  was  sup- 
posed to  be  understood.  To  how  many 
men  were  those  football  jerseys  given? 
From  a  count  taken  at  the  commons 
for  a  week,  it  would  seem  that  at  least 
thirty  had  won  them.  It  is  only  by 
popular  sentiment  that  this  practice 
can  be  stopped.  Attach  more  import- 
ance and  honor  to  the  L.  F.  by  not 
wearing  other  men's  monograms. 


Padded  goal  posts  are  the  latest  on 
Marshall  Field.  In  expectation  of  the 
strong  game  that  is  to  be  played  be- 
tween Minnesota  and  Chicago  a  week 
from  Saturday  the  lower  ends  of  the 
goal  posts  have  been  padded. 
Whether  this  has  been  done  to  pro- 
tect the  players  from  injury  or  the  goal 
posts  from  damage  is  left  an  open 
question. — Maroon. 


According  to  figures  compiled  by 
the  Brooklyn  Citizen,  baseball  is  a 
more  dangerous  game  than  football. 
Twelve  baseball  men  were  killed  in

number  than  were  killed  in  football 
the  year  previous.

Significance  of  Last 
Friday's    Chapel 
Announcement. 

The  Chapel  announcement  last 
Friday  thrilled  us  all  with  a  new  hope, 
and  aroused  in  all  our  hearts  a  new 
faith  in  the  future  prosperity  and 
growth  of  our  Alma  Mater.  We  re- 
gret, however  that  it  should  have  a 
a  double  significance. 

The  announcement  of  last  Friday 
which  thrilled  every  son,  daughter,  and 
friend  of  the  College  with  hope  and  a 
new  faith  in  the  future  of  Lake  Forest, 
has  a  double  significance: 

The  first,  is  a  sinister  significance 


and  though  we  dread  to  think  of  it,  we 
must  present  it:  If  we  should  be  un- 
able to  raise  the  required  endowment, 
Lake  Forest  College  has  no  future. 
In  such  an  event,  those  citizens  who 
desire  to  see  the  college  die  out — whom 
thank  God,  we  have  not  met — would 
quickly  see  their  wishes  realized. 

But  there  is  another  far  more  like- 
ly and  hopeful  significance:  If  the  en- 
dowment of  $50,000  (a  paltry  and  in- 
significant sum  among  the  wealth  of 
of  Lake  Forest,  to  say  nothing  of  the 
wealth  of  the  Middle  West)  be  raised, 
and  we  have  not  the  timerity  to  doubt 
it;  then  the  hope  of  a  "too  sanguine 
president,"  of  the  students  and  friends 
of  Lake  Forest  College,  is  to  be  re- 
alized, and  Lake  Forest  shall  take  her 
place  as  Queen  of  the  Colleges  of  the 
Middle  West!  ! 

Friends  and  Alumni  of  Lake 
Forest  College,  do  you  realize  what 
the  acceptance  of  these  generous  offers 
means  to  us  and  to  you?  Without  a 
Science  Hall,  it  is  fairly  certain,  we 
cannot  grow;  with  a  Science  Hall,  with- 
in a  very  short  time,  Lake  Forest  Col- 
lege would  have  an  enrollment  of  at 
least  three  hundred  students,  with  a 
waiting  list  besides.  Without  a  Sci- 
ence Hall,  we  shall  scarcely  need  a 
second  new  dormitory  or  a  new  Com- 
mons, but  with  it,  we  shall  soon  tax 
the  capacity  not  alone  of  our  old 
buildings,  but  of  the  new  as  well. 
Thus,  the  raising  of  the  required  en- 
dowment, entails  the  erection  of  a 
Science  Hall;  the  Science  Hall  will 
necessitate  the  other  new  buildings; 
and  the  erection  of  these  buildings, 
together  with  the  growth  which  will 
accompnny  it,  means  the  fulfilment  of 
our  fondest  dreams  for  our  beloved 
Alma  Mater. 

Shall  we  have  them??

Good  Losers  vs.  Ungentlemanly  Winners 

Dear  Editor:  The  "good 
]osers"  quality  is  hardly  one  which  re- 
flects much  material  glory  to  L.  F.  at 
any  time.  The  "gentlemanly  winner" 
is  something  more  to  our  liking  and 
more  in  keeping  with  our  spirit.  But 
let  us  agree  that  the  good  loser  is  far 
the  superior  of  the  ungentlemanly  win- 
ner. L.  F.  A.  was  a  good  loser  last 
Saturday;  their  opponents  were  de- 
cidedly the  #«gentlemanly  winners. 
Hence  the  "Cad"  need  not  feel  humili- 
ated in  their  losing  their  game;  but 
they  should  rather  feel  that  self  assur- 
ance which  follows  upon  all  gentlemanly 
contests. 

It  is  not  often  that  the  College 
man  takes  it  upon  himself  to  comment 
upon  'Cad  matters,  but  we  cannot  per- 
mit this  offense  to  go  by  without  com- 
ment upon  the  ruffian  tactics  of  Culver. 

During  Saturday's  game  at  Culver 
the  gridiron  air  was  thick  with  pro- 
fanity and  threats.  The  intermissions 
between  the  downs  were  taken  up  by 
the  cadets  in  threatening  the  referee 
and  their  opponents,  and  in  instructing 
the  players  which  men  on  the  other 
team  were  to  be  laid  out.  According 
to  an  unbiased  spectator,  if  the  rules 
were  carried  out  L.  F.  A.  should  have 
scored  6  touchdowns  by  penalties 
alone!  Slugging  was  done  with  impu- 
nity— and  such  slugging!  Schnur  car- 
ried the  ball  offside — the  whistle  had 
been  blown — but  he  was  tackled  and 
held  down  until  two  of  Culver's  heavy 
forwards  had  sunk  their  knees  into  the 
lad's  ribs.  The  rib  was  ready  for  the 
surgeon  when  they  piled  off!  When  a 
mass  was  unmeshed  several  L.  F.  A. 
men  would  resume  their  places  in  the 
line  bespattered  with  gore  and  their 
probosci  spread  all  over  their  faces, 
whilst  certain  Culver  players  would 
point  them  out  and    derisively   shout, 


"Get    down    and   play — we'll   kill   you 
the  next  down!" 

The  Culver  faculty  were  elated 
over  the  outcome — glorified  their  team 
and  patted  L.  F.  A.  men,  saying,  "You 
put  up  a  game  fight!"  Whereas  the 
townspeople  said,  "Shame!  You  should 
have  won!"  L.  F.  A.  had  a  similar 
experience  with  another  military 
school  two  years  ago.  Are  we,  there- 
fore, to  suppose  that  the  majority  of 
military  prep  schools  belong  to  a  class 
entirely  by  themselves? 

Lake  Forest  should  be  proud  of 
its  "Cad"  team.  In  their  loss  of  Sat- 
urday's game  they  have  won  a  greater 
battle  than  a  mere  football  victory. 
They  did  not  return  slug  for  slug.  They 
played  cleanly  and  gamely  even  though 
staggering  under  injuries  received  by 
the  illegal  methods  of  their  opponents,, 
and  we  regret  that  the  team  should 
ever  have  been  permttted  to  meet  such 
a  team  as  represented  Culver. 
Yours, 

A  College  Man.

Dedication  of  the  Gymnasium. 

The  dedication  of  the  gymnasium 
"was  an  event  which  exceeded  all  ex- 
pectations in  attractiveness.  The  main 
room  was  beautifully  decorated  with 
pennants.  Chinese  lanterns  and  bunt- 
ing. The  visitors'  gallery  was  used  as 
a  speaker's  platform  and  here  short 
addresses  were  made  by  Dr.  Harlan, 
Miss  Hughes,  Mr.  Baker,  Mr.  Swift, 
and  Mr.  Lewis.  Letters  were  read 
from  Mayor  Jackson  and  President 
Holt  of  the  Alumni  Association.  Mu- 
sic was  furnished  by  Herr  Birn,  Dun- 
can Rowles  and  the  Academy  Quar- 
tette. After  the  speeches  Mr.  Brad- 
street  did  some  excellent  paralell  bar 
work  and  Mr.  Bast  performed  some 
remarkable  feats  of  strength.  The 
White  Sox  then  defeated  the  Cubs  in 
indoor  ball  by  the  score  of  7  to  2. 
Yale  and  Harvard  followed  in  basket- 
ball, the  Crimson  winning  by  the  score 
of  3  to  2.  The  track  meet  demon- 
strated that  the  24  lap  banked  track  is 
a  great  success.  The  gymnasium  con- 
tains ample  provision  for  indoor  base- 
ball, basketball,  handball,  track  work 
and  gymnastics  of  all  kinds.  The  room 
is  brilliantly  lighted  with  electricity. 
About  $100  was  cleared  at  the  dedica- 
tion. 


Lake  Forest  debates  Morgan 
Park  January  10th. 

The  second  team  defeated  New 
Trier  High  School  by  the  score  of  38 
to  o  Saturday. 

Arrangements  are  being  made  to 
have  Richard  Henry  Little,  of  the  Tri- 
bune, give  his  illustrated  lecture  on 
"The  Life  of  a  War  Correspondent," 
before  the  students. 

Lake  Forest  plays  University 
High  School  on  the  Academy  field 
next  Saturday  afternoon  at  2:30.  Uni- 
versity High  is  at  the  top  of  the  heap 
in  Chicago  prep  school  football  and  a 
great  contest  is  assured. 

The  faculty  entertained  the  stu- 
dents at  a  most  enjoyable  Hallowe'en 
party  in  the  gymnasium  Wednesday 
evening.  All  the  old  time  Hallowe'en 
games  were  indulged  in  as  well  as  sev- 
eral new  ones  of  a  strenuous  nature. 
Very  little  was  done  to  the  refresh- 
ments consisting  of  cider,  apples, 
doughnuts  and  popcorn  balls. 

In  Chapel  Monday  morning  Mr. 
Herschberger  and  Mr.  Bast  told  the 
students  of  the  Culver  game  last  Sat- 
urday. Mr.  Herschberger  said  "The 
Academy  not  only  has   a    great  team,

it  has  a  grand  team.  I  have  never 
seen  a  team  play  under  such  trying 
circumstances,  and  every  man  conduct- 
ed himself  manfully ." 

Lake  Forest  met  its  first  defeat  at 
the  fists  of  Culver  Military  Academy 
last  Saturday  at  Culver.  Neither  side 
scored  up  to  within  four  minutes  of  the 
close  of  the  game  when  Culver  scored 
II  points.  Lake  Forest  played  a  re- 
markably strong  game,  its  work  being 
particularly  plucky  in  the  second  half 
when  Schnur  played  with  his  back 
muscles  wrenched  loose,  Bedell  with  a 
severe  injury  to  his  side,  Oswalt  with 
a  broken  finger  and  the  other  men 
with  injuries  more  or  less  serious. 
Quite  a  number  accompanied  the  team 
which  was  chaperoned  by  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Herschberger  and  Mr.  Bast. 


CHEMISTRY  LECTURE 

The  second  of  the  weekly  meet- 
ings of  the  Chemistry  class,  together 
with  others  who  are  interested  in  the 
discussion  of  scientific  subjects,  was 
held  last  Friday  afternoon  at  one 
o'clock.  The  subject  of  the  meeting 
was  Sir  Humphrey  Davy,  Mr.  Higgins 
reading  a  paper  on  his  life,  and  Mr. 
Caswell  presenting  one  of  the  theories 
originated  by  him,  together  with  an 
account  of  various  experiments  of  his. 

These  weekly  lectures  are  well 
worth  the  attendance  even  of  those 
who  are  not  directly  interested  in 
chemistry.  The  following  papers  will 
be  read  tomorrow:  "The  Qualitative 
Detection  of  Nickel  and  Cobalt,"  by 
Karl  Schmidt;  and  "Some  Tests  for 
Calcium,  Strontium  and  Barium.

debate  on  the  question:  Resolved,  that 
Cuba  should  be  annexed,  was  exceed- 
ingly interesting  and  closely  contested, 
the  new  men  showing  up  very  well. 
The  affirmative  was  supported  by  H. 
T.  Kessler  and  Bush  and  the  negative 
by  Marquis  and  Westervelt.

At  the  Thursday  evening  meeting 
of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  Dr.  Boyle  gave 
the  first  of  a  series  of  monthly  talks  on 
Phillipians.  The  theme  of  his  talk  was 
"For  me  to  live  is  Christ." 

During  the  early  part  of  the  meet- 
ing, Dr.  Boyle  explained  the  plans  for 
the  presentation  of  an  oratorio  this  win- 
ter, and  made  an  appeal  for  more- 
voices  for  the  chorus.

Another  case  of  hazing  has  come 
to  the  notice  of  the  officials  of  the

being  merely  the  application  of  a  "silly 
nickname"  by  a  third  year  classman 
to  a  first  year  student.  Still  the  faculty 
regard  it  as  a  form  of  hazing  and  will 
take  steps  toward  punishing  the 
offender. 

Professor  A.  W.  Patten  of  North-

VESPER  SERVICE 

Dr.  Boyle  gave  a  talk  at  Vesper 
last  Sunday  afternoon  on  "Five  Attri- 
butes of  a  True  Life."  These  attributes 
as  he  enumerated  them,  are:  of  the 
mind,  intelligence;  of  the  will,  resolute- 
ness; of  the  conscience,  seriousness;  of 
the  heart,  philanthropy;  and  of  the 
whole  life,  faith.  If  that  address  was 
what  the  Doctor  calls  a  talk,  as  over 
against  a  sermon,  we  want  more  talks.

Mass  Meeting's  Galore! 

tridents   Hold  Two  E-ntHvisiastic  Mass-Meetings 
Within  a  Week. 


THURSDAY  NIGHT   MASS  MEETING. 

The  most  interesting'  and  enthusi- 
astic mass  meeting  of  years  was  held 
last  Thursday  evening  in  the  Chemis- 
try lecture  room.  Professor  Burnap, 
president  of  the  Athletic  Association, 
presided  and  acted  as  toast-master  of 
the  occasion.  He  introduced  first  Mr. 
Crozier,  who,  after  speaking  briefly  of 
football  in  his  own  college  days  and 
expressing  his  strong  bslief  in  a  scrub 
team  as  a  first  team  developer,  awarded 
the  college  letters  to  the  monogram 
winners  of  last  year's  baseball  and  track 
squads.  The  following  men  were 
awarded  monograms:  (baseball)  Mil- 
ner,  Keithley,  F.  McCrea,  J.  McCrea, 
Reinert,  L.  Scott,  Beltzner;  (track) 
Talcott,  L.  Scott,  R.  Scott,  Beltzner 
and  Bush. 

Gibbs,  Dickey,  E.  Berkheiser  and 
Wilson  followed  with  talks,  after 
which  the  treasurer  of  the  Athletic 
Association  gave  his  report.  In  order 
to  have  the  Monmouth  game,  he  said, 
one  hundred  dollars  must  be  raised 
among  the  students.  Seventy-five 
cents  per  student  would  raise  the 
required  amount.  Those  who  wanted 
the  game  were  to  meet  again  Monday 
night  and  bring  their  money  with 
them. 


Mr.  Vaughn  then  urged  a  better 
support  of  the  team,  and  a  greater 
unanimity  of  spirit  among  the  stud 
ents.  Palmer  then  emphasized  the 
necessity  of  having  the  Monmouth, 
game.  The  other  speakers  were  the 
Misses  Anne  Ryon,  Robertson,  David- 
son, Hicks,  Cutter  .and  Duncan  and 
Mr.  Clos. 


MONDAY    NIGHT  MEETING. 

Another  meeting  of  the  Athletic 
Association  was  held  Monday  night 
for  the  purpose  of  getting  money  to 
help  defray  the  expense  of  the  game 
to  be  played  with  Monmouth  on  Sat- 
urday. The  meeting  was  called  to 
order  by  President  Burnap.  He  read; 
a  letter  from  Mr.  Crozier  in  which  the- 
writer  regretted  that  he  could  not  be 
present  at  the  meeting  and  spoke  high- 
ly of  the  way  our  men  played  at  Beloit 
and  of  the  spirit  shown  by  both  the 
team  and  the  rooters.  Professor  Bur- 
nap then  told  of  the  importance  of 
raising  the  funds  necessary  to  put  the 
Association  on  its  feet  financially  and 
envelopes  were  passed  among  the 
students  for  subscriptions.  Mr.  Betten 
was  called  on  and  spoke  of  the  great 
interest  that  the  Alumni  take  in  the 
College.     He    also    told    of  the    plans

they  have  made  for  next  Saturday. 
The  next  Alumni  dinner,  which  is 
due  November  the  seventeenth,  is  to 
be  held  at  the  Commons.  Every 
Alumnus  within  a  radius  of  ninety 
miles  is  expected  to  be  here  and  all 
that  possibly  can  are  coming  in  time 
for  the  game  in  the  afternoon.  After 
the  dinner  a  reunion  will  be  held  in  the 
gymnasium,  to  which  the  undergradu- 
ates are  invited.  Grand  march  will  be 
led  by  Mayor  Jackson  and  an  indoor 
baseball  game  between  the  Odds  and 
the  Evens  promises  to  be  one  of  the 
most  exciting  events  of  the  evening. 
After  this  a  nice  young  bonfire  in 
some  convenient  spot  is  expected  as  a 
contribution  from  the  class  of  'ic. 
The  reunion  in  the  gymnasium  will  be 
exceedingly  informal  and  all  the 
Freshmen  are  urged  to  be  present  to 
help  take  some  of  the  kinks  out  of  the 
"old  boys".  After  Mr.  Betten's  talk  it 
was  announced  that  the  contents  of  the 
envelope  when  added  to  what  had  been 
promised  would  be  sufficient  for  our 
present  needs  and  the  meeting  was 
adjourned. 


CHEMISTRY    MEETING. 

Two  interesting  papers  were  pre- 
sented at  the  meeting  of  the  chemis- 
try classes  last  Friday  afternoon. 
The  first  was  given  by  Mr.  Karl 
Schmidt  on  "The  Qualitative  Detec- 
tion of  Nickel  and  Cobalt."  Various 
methods  have  been  devised  for  separat- 
ing these  two  metals,  but  not  one  has 
been  found  which  is  entirely  satis- 
factory. The  second  paper  was 
"Some  Tests  for  Calcium,  Barium  and 
Strontium,"  and  was  read  by  Mr.  Hel- 
ler. The  new  potassium  ferrocyanide 
test  for  the  alkaline  earths  was  ex- 
plained. 

The  next  meeting  will  be  held  on 
Friday,  November  23,  at  1   p.  m. 


INTER-COLLEGIATE  DEBATES. 

Mr.  Burrill  has  received  a  com- 
munication from  Beloit  College  re- 
garding arrangements  for  our  annual 
freshman  debate  with  that  institution. 
The  date  is  fixed  by  previous  agree- 
ment for  "no  later  than  the  third  Fri- 
day in  May."  The  question  for  debate 
this  year  is  to  be  submitted  by  Beloit, 
"not  later  than  the  eighth  day  of 
December." 

Regarding  the  intercollegiate  de- 
bate with  Illinois  College,  no  definite 
answer  has  yet  been  received.  We 
shall  have  to  wait  for  that  institution 
also  to  submit  the  question  for  debate. 
We  are  endeavoring  to  secure  a  con- 
test with  Wabash  College  to  follow  the 
one  with  Illinois. 

Meanwhile,  however,  there  are 
plenty  of  opportunities  for  preliminary 
practice  and  training  in  the  literary 
societies  and  in    the   class-room    work. 

To  it,  then,  for  the  honor  of 
Lake  Forest!

ENDOWMENT  FUND    STARTED. 

At  chapel  last  Monday  President 
Harlan  announced  that  a  start  has 
been  made  in  the  raising  of  the  #50,000 
endowment.  Mr.  John  H.  Converse, 
of  Philadelphia,  head  of  the  Baldwin 
Locomotive  Works,  who  has  already 
given  generously  to  the  Scholarship 
Fund,  has  contributed  the  first  one 
thousand  dollars.  Another  five  hun- 
dred has  come  anonomously  from  one 
of  Dr.  Harlan's  former  New  York 
parishoners.  And  ftom  Miss  Helen 
Culver,  of  Lake  Forest,  who  also  has 
given  liberally  for  the  past  few  years, 
comes  the  offer  of  the  last  five  thous- 
and of  the  entire  endowment.  These 
three  contributions  make  a  total  of 
$6.500 — a  very  good  start.

Spells  Defeat  for  LaKe  Forest. 

Under  the  most  unfavorable  con- 
ditions Lake  Forest  met  her  first  de- 
feat of  the  season  at  Beloit  last  Satur- 
day. The  game  was  played  in  the  rain 
and  the  field  was  in  such  wretched 
condition  that  fast  playing  was  im- 
possible. Spots  of  turf  were  few  and 
far  between.  In  places  the  water 
stood  in  pools  and  the  bare  ground 
was  covered  with  a  slimy  mud  that 
offered  no  secure  foothold.  After  the 
first  few  minutes  of  play  the  men 
were  so  thoroughly  covered  with  mud 
that  one  side  could  scarcely  be  told 
from  the  other.  Punting  was  one  of 
the  most  important  features  of  the 
game  and  the  soggy  ball  made  even 
this  erratic. 

Lake  Forest  kicked  off  to  Beloit 
and  for  several  minutes  punts  were 
exchanged,  neither  side  being  able  to 
gain  consistently.  After  two  or  three 
downs  the  ball  became  so  slippery 
that  the  passes  frequently  went  wild. 
One  of  these  went  over  Callahan  and 
rolled  to  our  five  yard  line  where  he 
fell  on  the  ball  and  kicked  it  out.  A 
Beloit  man  caught  it  and  slipped  and 
slid  down  the  field  to  within  a  foot  of 
our  goal.  Here,  Charters,  Beloit's 
heavy  fullback  hit  the  line  twice  with- 
out gaining  an  inch  but  on  the  third 
trial  he  got  up  in  the  air  in  some 
mysterious  manner  without  hurdling  (?) 


and  went  over  the  line.  The  referee 
ruled  out  the  question  mark  and  the 
score  stood  Beloit  5,  Lake  Forest  o. 
Johnson  kicked  goal,  adding  one  more 
point  to  Beloit's  score. 

Keithley  received  the  kick-off  and 
ran  it  back  twenty  yards  Kicks  were 
exchanged  and  the  ball  was  forced 
back  to  the  Beloit  ten  yard  line.  On 
the  next  punt  the  ball  slipped  through 
Mather's  arms  and  a  Beloit  man  fell 
on  it.  They  were  forced  to  kick  and 
Lake  Forest  started  to  tear  up  the 
line.  Gibbs  went  around  for  eight 
yards,  Callahan  ran  for  twenty,  and 
Milner  and  Shroyer  added  twelve 
more.  There  was  another  exchange 
of  punts  and  Milner  tried  a  short  kick. 
The  ball  slipped  and  fell  into  the  arms 
of  a  Beloit  end  who  was  downed  on 
our  twenty  yard  line.  Beloit  gained 
five  yards  in  two  downs  and  Johnson 
dropped  back  for  a  place  kick.  The 
ball  went  over  safely. 

Lake  Forest  kicked  off  and  Beloit 
fumbled,  Berkheiser  securing  the  ball 
on  Beloit's  thirty  vard  line.  Gibbs 
and  Shroyer  made  twelve  yards  and 
Keithley  stepped  back  for  a  drop-kick 
but  the  soggy  ball  and  the  mud  were 
too  good  a  combination  to  beat,  and 
the  ball  went  low. 

In  the  second  half  neither  team 
was  able  to  score,  although  twice  it 
looked  as  though  Beloit's  line  would 
surely  be  crossed  once  when  we  had 
carried  the    ball    to    their     eight    yard

line  only  to  lose  it  on  a  fumble  and 
again  when  a  drop-kick  was  tried. 

Too  much  cannot  be  said  of  the 
way  our  men  played.  Every  one  of 
them  was  in  the  game  from  start  to 
finish. 

If  luck  ever  took  part  in  any  con- 
test it  played  a  star  game  for  our  op- 
ponents and  not  one  of  our  rooters 
that  witnessed  the  game  lost  a  bit  of 
faith  in  the  team;  instead  they  have 
more  than    before. 

We  know  that  to  know  how  to 
take  defeat  is  the  best  proof  of  our 
sportsmanship,  but  we  think  we  can 
safely  say,  and  without  being  "sore- 
heads", that  a  little  study  of  the  new 
rules  would  not  hurt  either  official;  and 
that  the  crowd — and  we  presume  that 
it  was  for  the  most  part  College  men  — 
made  the  game  appear  more  like  one 
between  two  scrub  teams  on  a  town 
lot,  than  a  game  between  two  colleges, 
by  crowding  upon  the  field,  at  times, 
even  so  close  as  to  interfere  with  the 
players,  and  by  pressing  close  to  the 
two  teams  and  yelling  so  that  it  was 
practically  impossible  to  hear  the 
signals. 

On  one  occasion  when  a  Lake 
Eorest  man  made  a  tackle  at  the  edge 
of  the  crowd  he  received  several 
gentle(?)  touches  with  umbrella  sticks 
before  he  could  regain  his  feet.  This 
might  have  been  done  to  see  if  he 
was  ticklish,  but  it  is  not  a  bad  policy 
to  let  the  players  and  not  the  specta- 
tors do  the  tickling.

A  Science  Hall,  the 
Key  To  LaKe  Forest's 
Future 

On  another  page  of  this  issue  ap- 
pears the  full  text  of  Mr.  Calvin 
Durand's  letter  regarding  the  new 
Commons.  The  portion  omitted  last 
week,  through  lack  of  space,  is  import- 
ant, we  believe,  because  it  indicates 
that  the  Commons  is  not  an  immediate 
necessity.  This  is  equally  true  of  the 
second  Blackstone  Hall.  The  great 
and  imperative  need  is  a  Science  Hall!!! 
In  that  lies  the  future  of  Lake  Forest 
College. 

It  is  most  fortunate  that  Mr.  Du- 
rand  and  Mrs.  Blackstone  have  made 
their  gifts  depend  upon  the   raising  of 


the  required  endowment.  For  that. 
endowment  must  be  raised  before  a 
Science  Hall  can  be  realized;  and 
without  a  Science  Hall  the  erection  of 
a  Commons  and  a  second  dormitory 
would  be  worse  than  useless.  Without 
that  Science  Hall  Lake  Forest  will 
cease  to  grow;  hers  would  be  a  dark  and 
uncertain  future!  But  let  that  Science 
Hall  be  realized — then  the  Commons 
and  the  second  Blackstone  Hall  will  at 
once  become  necessities. 

A  statement  of  the  real  need  in 
the  Science  Department  will  readily 
show  that  a  Science  Hall  is  the  real 
key  to  the  situation.  To  the  Depart- 
ment of  Chemistry  we  will  confine  our- 
selves: for  the  Science  faculty  are 
agreed  that  its  need  is  worst,  and  that 
it  must  be  provided  for  first.  In  the 
first  place  the  laboratory  is  not 
equipped  as  a  college  laboratory  should 
be.  Many  of  the  students  come  from 
the  larger  high  schools  which  have  fine- 
ly equipped  laboratories,  and  they  ex- 
perience a  considerable  disappointment 
in  the  equipment  of  our  laboratory. 
Again  the  present  laboratory  is  poorly 
located:  it  is  dark  and  dingy  as  a  place 
in  which  to  work,  and  it  is  too  damp 
for  the  good  care  of  the  finest  instru- 
ments. But  the  most  critical  deficiency 
in  the  present  laboratory  is  its  lack  of 
space,  and  the  congestion  which  results 
therefrom.  The  Department  of  Chem- 
istry, though  the  most  popular  of  the 
sciences  among  the  students,  has  not 
more  than  half  the  space  allotted  the 
other  sciences.  Accordingly,  for  the 
past  two  years,  an  average  of  twelve 
students  a  semester  have  necessarily 
been  turned  away;  and  this  year  the 
number  has  increased  to  twenty — al- 
most ten  per  cent,  of  the  entire  enroll- 
ment. We  might  even  suggest  that 
the  College  has  not  been  living  up  to 
the  agreement  in   the    catalog,  implied

EXCHANGES. 

The  men  of  the  Senior  and  Junior 
classes  of  Nebraska  University  met 
yesterday  and  protested  against  the 
new  rule  providing  for  the  segrega- 
tion of  the  students.  Great  indigna- 
tion was  aroused  by  the  action  of 
Chancellor  Andrews  in  ordering  two 
male  students  to  leave  a  boarding 
house  where  several  women  students 
are  residing.  The  men  have  threat- 
ened to  obtain  an  injunction  and  the 
entire  student  body  has  agreed  to  sup- 
port them. 

Syracuse  University  has  adopted  a 
new  rule  providing  that  hereafter  no 
free  scholarship  will  be  given  to  stud- 
ents who  use  tobacco  or  attend  the 
theatre  or  frequent  drinking  places  or 
poolrooms.  So  after  wandering  in  the 
whirl  of  worldly  things,  Syracuse  has 
come  back  to  the  ranks  of  the  righteous. 


AN    INSTANCE  OF     MODERN    JOURNALISM 

The  following  is  interesting  as 
being  illustrative  of  the  methods  of 
modern  journalism  and  of  the  unrelia- 
bility of  newspaper  accounts: 

"In  searching  the  woods  and  fields 
near  Lake  Forest  for  a  student  who 
disappeared  Tuesday  under  mysterious 
circumstances,  fifty  of  the  men  students 
of  Lake  Forest  University  spent  all  of 
yesterday.  George  Hochner,  the  miss- 
ing student,  disappeared  last  Tuesday 
after  having  drawn  $750  from  a  bank. 
Hochner,  who  lives  west  of  Waukegan 
went  to  the  bank  to  deposit  a  portion 
of  the  money,  thus  proving  to  the  sat- 
isfaction of  his  friends  that  he  had  no 
dishonest  motives. 

All  classes  Friday  were  dismissed 
at  ten  o'clock  to  allow  the  students  to 
take  part  in  the  search.  Under  the 
leadership  of  Joseph  Anderson,  of 
Waukegan,  a  friend  of  the  missing

President  Harlan  Resigns 

Dr.  Harlan  Resigns   Presidency    of  Lake    Forest 
College  After  Five  Years  of  FaitKful  Service 


The  College  community  was  taken 
by  surprise  last  Sunday  morning,  when 
for  the  first  time  it  became  generally 
known  that  President  Harlan  had 
tendered  to  the  board  of  Trustees  his 
resignation,  which  had  been  accepted 
by  that  body  a  week  ago  last  Tuesday. 

No  new  reasons,  apparently,  but 
the  same  causes  which  operated  in  last 
year's  trouble  have  brought  Dr.  Harlan 
to  this  step.  And  because  of  no 
specific  charges,  but  rather  because  of 
the  general  lack  of  harmony  between 
themselves  and  the  President,  have 
they  accepted  the  resignation. 

With  this  incident  closes  an  admin- 
istration, which  has  in  many  ways 
been  one  of  the  most  efficient  in  the 
history  of  the  College.  Dr.  Harlan 
has  put  himself,  heart  and  soul  into  his 
work,  and  if  some  have  thought  his  ad- 
ministration not  satisfactory,  it  has  not 
been  because  of  any  lack  of  zeal  on 
his  part. 

Among  the  many  progressive 
steps  that  have  been  taken  in  the  ad- 
ministration just  closing,  are  these — 
the  department  of  Athletics  has  been 
put  upon  a  reputable  basis  by  (1)  the 
acquisition  of  Farwell    Field     and   (2) 


the  establishment  of  a  permanent 
Athletic  Directorship;  the  department 
of  Oratory  has  been  greatly  strength- 
ended  by  the  addition  to  the  faculty 
of  a  resident  instructor  in  Oratory;  the 
office  of  Dean  of  Women  has  been 
created;  the  office  organization  has. 
has  been  vastly  improved;  the  scholar- 
ship system  has  been  perfected  and  the 
prize  system  introduced;  the  Vesper 
Service  has  been  established,  and  the 
spirit  of  song  revived;  the  number  of 
students  has  been  almost  doubled;  the 
interest  of  the  Alumni  in  the  College 
has  been  increased,  as  is  indicated  by 
the  organization  of  the  New  York 
Alumni  Association;  the  interest  of  the 
townspeople  has  been  enlisted  in  our 
behalf  as  never  before,  the  constitu- 
ency of  the  College  has  been  better 
worked  among;  one  building  for  Ferry 
Hall — Smith  Hall — has  been  realized, 
and  four  for  the  College  have  been 
promised — two  Blackstone  Halls; 
Durand  Commons  and  the  Carnegie 
Science  Hall;  and,  best  of  all,  the  tone 
and  spirit  of  the  student  body  has  been 
greatly  elevated. 

Just  what   part    President    Harlan 
has  played  in  all  these  things    we    can-

not  know;  but  we  do  know  that  some 
of  them  are  due  to  his  own  initiation 
and  to  his  faithful  service.  Some,  to 
be  sure,  are  intangible,  but  those  very 
ones  are  most  real. 

Dr.  Harlan  leaves  in  about  two 
weeks  for  Washington,  where  he  will 
visit  with  his  father  until  he  decides 
upon  his  future  course. 


PRESIDENT  HARLAN  BIDS  FAREWELL   TO 
STUDENTS 

For  the  last  time,  as  president,  Dr. 
Harlan  conducted  chapel  exercises  last 
Monday  noon.  The  service  opened 
with  prayer  by  Dr.  Vance,  after  which, 
in  behalf  of  the  hundred  or  more  min- 
isters from  the  Chicago  Presbytery, 
Dr.  Bushnell  of  Minneapolis,  addressed 
the  students  briefly  upon  the  part 
played  by  choice  in  the  formation  of 
character. 

President  Harlan  then  bade  fare- 
well to  the  students)"' whom  he  has 
served  so  well.  But  even  in  the  hour 
of  farewell,  he  sounded  the  cry  of  "For- 
ward."    The  address  in  full  follows: 

"I  could  not  take  my  leave  of  the 
College  without  a  brief  word  to  those 
students  for  whom  I  have  labored,  and 
with  whom  I  have  had  such  a  real  and 
a  very  friendly  fellowship. 

"No  President  of  any  college  could 
have  had  greater  happiness  than  has 
been  mine  in  the  cordial  relations  that 
have  existed  between  you  and  myself 
during  whatever  time  we  have  been  to- 
gether.. I  could  wish  for  my  successor 
no  greater  boon,  and  no  more  constant 
inspiration,  than  to  express  the  hope 
that  he  may  enjoy  the  same  friendly 
loyalty  which  I  feel  that  the  students 
have  for  me  as  I  lay  down  the  burdens 
of  this  office. 

"'It  is  a  source  of  supreme  satisfac- 
tion to  me  to  know  of  the  wholesome 
condition  of  the  college  life  and  of  the 


unity  and  enthusiasm  of  the  student 
body.  I  rejoice  that  the  great  in- 
crease of  numbers,  as  compared  to 
four  years  ago,  have  brought  to  the 
students  themselves  a  new  enthusiasm 
for  Alma  Mater,  a  new  pride  in  her 
record,  a  new  hope  for  her  future. 

"And  I  am  glad  that  it  so  happens 
that  my  last  word  to  you  is  uttered  in 
the  presence  of  this  company  of  min- 
isters representing  that  great  church 
with  which  Lake  Forest  is  proud  to 
own  a  special  affiliation.  Christo  et 
Ecdesiae,  'For  Christ  and  the  Church,' 
has  been,  is  now,  and  ever  must  be 
Lake  Forest's  motto.  To  me  this 
beautiful  Chapel  is  not  only  the  central 
building  of  the1  campus,  but  it  symbol- 
izes the  highest  ideals  of   the    College- 

"I  rejoice  in  the  close  relations  ex- 
isting between  the  College  students 
and  the  local  Church,  and  especially 
in  the  warm  personal  bonds  that 
have  already  been  formed  between 
you  and  its  great-hearted  pastor. 

"It  tugs  at  my  heart  strings  to  say 
good-bye  to  my  students;  for,  if  the 
thoughts  and  dreams  of  five  years 
leave  any  inner  physical  impression, 
then  I  believe  that,  if  you  could  use 
the  X-Ray  of  omniscience,  you  would 
find  the  map  of  this  campus  burnt 
deeply  and  forever  upon  my  own  heart. 

"And  yet  I  want  the  idea  of  'For- 
wards' to  loom  up  much  larger  than  the 
thought  of  'Farewell.'  Presidents  may 
come  and  go;  but  when  a  college  has 
successfully  passed  through  the  dangers 
and  difficulties  which  the  last  two  ad- 
ministrations have  forever  put  behind 
Lake  Forest,  that  College,  please  God, 
is  immortal. 

"Thanks  to  those  colleagues  in  the 
Faculty  who  have  so  loyally  helped  me, 
thanks  to  the  enthusiastic  co-operation 
of  the  undergraduates  and  the  Alumni, 
we  have, — all  of   us  working    together

during  these  five  years, — brought  Lake 
Forest  to  the  point  when  it  is  here 
not  only  to  stay,  but  to  grow. 

"I  wish  it  had  been  possible  to 
work  out  some  plan  by  which  I  could 
have  remained  with  you  through  this 
Semi-Centennial  year,  in  order  to  do 
Avhat  I  could  to  inaugurate  the  move- 
ment for  a  very  large  addition  to  the 
permanent  Endowment  Fund.  So  far 
as  the  three  additional  buildings  are 
concerned — namely,  the  second  Black- 
stone  Hall,  the  Durand  Commons,  and 
the  Carnegie  Science  Hall,  which  the 
generosity  of  three  large-hearted 
people  made  it  possible  for  me,  before 
I  left  Lake  Forest,  to  secure  for  you 
conditionally — I  will  take  the  liberty 
of  assuring  you  that  they  will  undoubt- 
edly be  erected,  and  without  any 
serious  delay.  The  $50,000  of  new  en- 
dowment required  in  order  to  win 
these  three  buildings  is,  comparatively 
speaking,  a  small  affair,  and  I  have 
reason  to  feel  confident  that  the  friends 
of  this  institution  will  not  let  these 
three  splendid  gifts  fall  to  the  ground, 
and  that  you  students  will  not  be  dis- 
appointed. 

'"These  three  new  buildings,  to- 
gether with  the  first  Blackstone  Hall, 
will  commit  the  College  to  a  still  larger 
future,  which  it  will  be  yours  to  assure 
and  yours  to  enjoy. 

"To  the  good,  old  English  word  of 
farewell, 'good-bye',  which  means  'God 
be  with  you,'  may  I  add  the 
Spaniard's  way  of  saying  the  same 
thing,  'Go  with  God.'  'Go  with  God,' 
and  God  will  go  with  you,  and  be  with 
you  through  all  the  days  even  unto  the 
end" 


FAREWELL  SERMON  OF  DR.  HARLAN. 


The  Y.  W.  C.  A.  weekly  prayer 
meeting  was  led  by  Lois  Nesbit.  The 
delegates  to  the  state  convention  gave 
a  very  interesting  report. 


Dr.    Harlan    Delivers     Farewell     Address 
at  Vespers  to  Large  Audience. 

To  one  of  the  largest  audiences 
that  has  ever  attended  the  College 
Vesper  Service  Dr.  Harlan  preached 
his  last  sermon,  in  his  capacity  as 
President  of  the  College.  Although 
not  a  suggestion  was  made  of  his 
resignation  yet  the  thought  of  it, 
always  uppermost  in  the  hearts  of  his 
hearers,  sobered  and  saddened  them. 
It  was  peculiarly  fitting  that  he  should 
leave  with  us  the  same  message  that 
he  enjoined  upon  the  first  Senior 
Class  to  leave  under  his  administra- 
tion. He  gave  us  the  portrait  of  the 
Perfect  Gentleman. 

Paul,  one  of  the  finest  gentle- 
men that  has  walked  upon  earth,  was 
so  because  of  the  touch  of  Christ,  the 
first  of  gentlemen,  upon  his  soul  *  *  * 
Paul,  the  master  theologian,  finally 
resolved  all  his  argument  into  exhorta- 
tion to  practice  goodness — the  Christ- 
ian gentleman  is  more  concerned  withi 
deeds  than  with  creeds  *  *  *  Christ- 
ian character  is  never  a  veneer,  it  is- 
basic;  though  made  up  of  essentially- 
minor  qualities,  it  must  be  apparent  to 
all  *  *  *  "As  a  man  thinks  so  is  he." 
The  Christian  gentleman  must  be  pure 
in  thought  *  *  *  He  should  be  a  mas- 
ter of  reflection,  not  he  who  reads 
most  but  he  who  thinks  most  and  of 
the  noblest  things,  is  the  strongest 
Christian  *  *  *  "Had  Christ  come 
only  to  reveal  to  us  beauty,  purity  and 
strength  and  not  to  show  us  how  to 
attain  unto  them,  we  might  almost 
wish  He  had  not  come""  But  He  has 
has  shown  us  how:  "Whatsoever 
things  are  true,  whatsoever  things  arc 
honorable,"  whatsoever  things  are  just, 
whatsoever  things  are  lovely,  whatso- 
ever things  are  of  good  report;  if  there 
be  any  virtue,  and  if  there  be  any 
praise,  think  on  these  things."

ALUMNI  BANQUET. 


Nearly   Forty   Alumni   Attend   Banquet  at 

College  Commons.      Are   Pleased  with 

Present    Tone     and     Outlook    for 

Future    of   College. 

On  last  Saturday  evening  at  the 
College  Commons  occured  one  of  the 
pleasantest  meetings  the  Alumni  have 
held  in  laie  years..  A  large  number  of 
"old  men"  from  Chicago  were  present 
and  they  delighted  the  undergraduates, 
who  attended  in  a  body,  with  their  tales 
of  by-gone  days  and  with  their  expres- 
sions of  hope  for  and  faith  in  the  fu- 
ture of  Lake  Forest  College. 

Mr.  Betten  acted  as  toast-master 
for  the  evening.  The  first  speaker  in- 
troduced was  Mayor  Jackson,  who 
after  mentioning  his  pride  in  the  foot- 
ball team  and  his  belief  in  Lake  For- 
est's future,  expressed '  his  regret  at 
the  departure  in  the  near  .future  of 
Coach  Vaughn.  The  President  of  the 
Alumni  Association,  Mr.  J.  H.  Lee 
then  compared  briefly  the  Commons  of 
his  day  with  the  present  Commons,  to 
the  detriment  of  the  former.  Mr. 
Hayner  offered  to  the  Trophy  Room 
an  enlarged  picture  of  the  football 
team.  "It  is  a  good  thing"  according 
to  Allen  C.  Bell  "for  the  Alumni  and 
undergraduates  to  get  in  touch  with 
each  other  in  this  way."  He  also 
praised  the  work  of  the  double  quar- 
tette which  from  time  to  time  during 
the  evening  tried  to  make  itself  heard. 
Professor  Burnap,  as  President  of  the 
Athletic  Association,  was  next  in  or- 
der. "Some  years  ago,"  he  said,  "a 
protest  was  made  by  certain  students 
against  the  encroachments  on  the  Lit- 
erary Society  work  made  by  numerous 
social  functions.  We  must  get  that 
spirit,  the  spirit  of  keener  devotion  to 
higher  things  for  which  Lake  Forest 
stands". 


Dr.  B.  M.  Linnell,  one  of  our  Al- 
umni Trustees,  was  much  surprised,  a5 
he  said,  and  not  a  little  pleased  at  the 
difference  in  the  life  and  spirit  of  the 
students,  from  that  of  his  own  time. 
One  thing  he  mentioned  was  of  es- 
pecial interest  to  everyone  present — 
the  fact  that  he  had  played  on  the  first 
Rugby  team  organized  in  Lake  Forest 
which  team  was,  by  the  way,  the  first 
Rugby  team  in  the  West.  The  first 
time  they  played  Wisconsin  they  had 
them  at  their  mercy  through  their  use 
of  the  criss-cross  play. 

Mr.  Crozier  disclosed  an  interest- 
ing bit  of  Professor  Burnap's  history 
in  his  capacity  as  detective  during  the 
apple  season.  He  uttered  a  sentiment 
rarely  heard  among  the  ''old  men": 
"We  did  not  have  the  good  time  that 
you  are  having".  In  conclusion  he 
spoke  of  his  deep  personal  regret  that 
Mr.  Vaughn  is  no  longer  to  act  as  our 
Director  of  Athletics. 

After  a  brief  word  by  Mr.  Palmer 
on  behalf  of  the  undergraduates,  the 
entire  company  made  for  the  gymna- 
sium where  they  spent  the  remainder 
of  the  evening. 

No  adequate  idea  can  be  given  of 
the  real  spirit  of  the  occasion.  The 
dinner  was  of  Mrs.  Harper's  finest; 
spirits  were  high  and  wits  keen  and 
through  it  all  was  a  great  hope  for  the 
future  of  Lake  Forest  College.

FOOTBALL   SQUAD,  SEASON  '06 


SMITH'S  TOE  DECIDES  LAST  GAME 


Heavy  Monmouth  Team  Played  to  a  Stand- 
still Wins  on  DropKicKs 

To  be  outweighed  by  a  fast  team 
by  almost  fifteen  pounds  to  the  man 
and  to  play  that  team  on  a  slippery 
field  only  to  have  three  drop-kicks  put 
over  the  goal  and  to  lose  the  College 
Championship  of  Illinois  by  those 
three  kicks,  would  be  called  "tough 
luck"  by  some  people.  That  is  exact- 
ly what  happened  to  Lake  Forest  in 
her  game  with  Monmouth  College  last 
Saturday. 

Friday  night's  rain  soaked  Farwell 
field,  and  the  slippery  ground  added  to 
the  advantages  of  our  heavy  opponents. 
Notwithstanding   this,    the    honors   as 


far  as  straight  football  is  concerned',, 
were  about  equal,  neither  team  being 
able  to  make  a  touchdown.  Mon- 
mouth used  her  weight  to  good  ad- 
vantage in  mass  plays,  but  the  greater 
part  of  the  play  was  in  the  open,  the 
on-side  kick  and  forward  pass  netting 
some  good  gains  for  Lake  Forest. 
Twice  we  had  the  ball  on  Monmouth's 
ten  yard  line  and  an  equal  number  of 
times  we  held  them  for  downs  near 
our  own  goal. 

Our  men  all  played  a  hard,  fast 
and  clean  game  as  they  have  done  all 
season  and  a  nothing  to  nothing  score 
would  show  better  the  comparative 
strength  of  the  two  teams. 

All  of  the  scoring  was  done  by 
Smith,  quarter    back     for     Monmouth.

LOYALTY    OF    THE    STUDENTS    TO    THE 
TEAM  SHOWN. 

Shortly  before  the  date  of  the 
game  scheduled  with  Monmouth  Col- 
lege it  was  found  that  in  order  to  meet 
the  expense  of  this  game  it  would  be 
necessary  to  get  one  hundred  and 
eighty-five  dollars. 

Some  doubt  was  expressed  as  to 
the  ability  of  the  Athletic  Association 
to  raise  this  amount  in  so  short  a  time. 

It  was  decided  to  leave  the  matter 
in  the  hands  of  the  students.  If  they 
wanted  the  game  as  badly  as  they 
seemed  to  and  were  willing  to  back 
up  their  talk  with  a  hundred  dollars, 
Palmer,  as  managei  of  the  team,  and 
Shroyer,  as  treasurer  of  the  Associa- 
tion, promised  to  raise  the  remaining 
eighty  five  among  the  Faculty  and 
various  friends  of  the  College. 

A  mass  meeting  of  the  students  was 
called,  the  case  was  put  before  them 
and  though  quite  a  number  were  not 
present  the  necessary  amount  was 
easily  raised.  Shroyer  and  Palmer 
kept  their  part  of  the  agreement  and 
the  game  was  assured. 

This  action  on  the  part  of  the 
students  showed  several  things:  — 
that  the  students  are  behind  our  teams, 
that  they  want  the  teams  to  have  good 
schedules  and  that  they  are  willing  to 
help  in  every  way    that   they   possibly 


can.  This  is  the  kind  of  spirit  that 
makes  winning  teams.  It  is  not  mere 
"hot  air"  and  we  are   proud  of  it. 

We  also  wish  to  thank  those  friends 
of  the  College  who  helped  us  out  of 
Our  difficulty. 

The  Season  of  '06 

Saturday's  game  ended  a  football 
season  that,  under  the  conditions,  has 
been  a  very  successful  one  for  Lake 
Forest.  At  first  our  prospects  looked 
decidedly  blue.  Heavy  material  for 
the  team  was  lacking  and  it  was  hard 
to  get  enough  men  out  for  a  good 
second  team.  However,  the  men  that 
were  out  had  speed,  nerve  and  the 
proper  spirit,  and  this  spirit  has  stayed 
with  them  throughout  the  season. 
They  were  outweighed  in  every  one  of 
the  five  games  played  the  last  two 
were  played  on  slippery,  muddy  fields. 
The  disadvantage  that  a  light  team 
has  on  such  a  field  is  well  known,  and 
yet  not  once  did  they  lie  down  or  get 
discouraged.  Three  of  these  games 
were  victories,  the  other  two  were  de- 
feats, but  they  were  the  kind  of  de- 
feats of  which  we  will  never  be 
ashamed. 

Great  credit  is  due  Mr.  Vaughan 
for  the  work  he  has  done  in  coaching 
the  team.  From  a  squad  of  men 
averaging  scarcely  one  hundred  and 
fifty-five  pounds  in  weight,  he 
developed  a  team  which  was  one  of 
the  best  College  teams  in  this  part  of 
the  country,  and  now  that  he  must 
leave  us  we  hope  that  he  will  be  even 
more  successful  in  his  new  field  of 
work.

THE  STENTOR 


Four  Seniors,  namely  Milner, 
Shroyer,  Keithley  and  Munger  have 
played  their  last  game  of  football  for 
Lake  Forest. 

Milner  has  been  with  the  team 
for  four  years.  His  freshman  year  he 
was  substitute  end,  the  next  two  he 
played  quarter  back  and  this  year  was  - 
shifted  to  right  half.  Joe  is  one  of  the 
fastest  men  we  have  ever  had  on  the 
team.  On  defense  he  played  back 
and  has  made  a  record  at  catching 
punts.  In  all  four  years  he  only 
fumbled  one. 

Shroyer  was  also  a  sub  in  his 
freshman  year.  Since  then  he  has 
had  little  time  for  the  game  until  this 
year.  He  has  put  up  a  strong  game 
at  tackle  all  season  and  has  been  one 
of  the  most  consistent  players  on  the 
team.  He  not  only  starred  on  the 
defensive  but  also  carried  the  ball  well. 

Keithley  entered  Lake  Forest  in 
his  Junior  year.  He  played  at  end 
part  of  last  year  and  has  held  down  the 
position  of  left  half  back  this  year. 
One  of  the  "Swede's"  drop-kicks  won 
the  Oshkosh  game  for  us. 

Munger  did  not  try  for  the  team 
until  his  Junior  year  when  he  made 
sub  half  back.  This  year  he  was  un- 
able to  get  out  to  practise  until  the 
last  two  weeks  and  only  got  in  one 
game.  He  has  always  done  good 
work  when  he  had  a  chance  to  play. 
Freshman-Sophomore  Game. 

At  last  the  Freshmen  have  gained 
sufficient  courage  to  challenge  the 
Sophomores  to  the  traditional  game  of 
football  which  will  ^take  place  some 
day  this  week.  Official  notifica- 
tion will  be  given  on  the  bulletin 
boards.  Considering  the  strenuous 
practicing  of  both  teams  the  game 
will  be  of  double  interest,  both  from  a 
football  and  from  a  humorous  view- 
point. 


Football   Monograms  Awarded. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Athletic 
Board  of  Control  the  following  men 
were  awarded  monograms  for  the  foot- 
ball season  just  ended: 

Gibbs,  '08;  Milner,  '07;  Keithley, 
'07;  Shroyer,  '07;  Callahan,  '08;  Elven 
Berkheiser,  '09;  Sam  Stoltz,  '09; 
Mather,  '10;  Newport,  10;  Paul  Stoltz, 
'10,  and  Richardson,  'io. 


STUDENTS   BURN    DUMMY   IN     HONOR  OF 
FOOTBALL  TEAM 

Last  Friday  evening  immediately 
at  the  close  of  foot-ball  practice,  the 
students  continued  the  custom,  begun 
last  year,  of  burning  the  foot-ball 
dummy.  When  all  was  ready,  the 
dummy,  having  been  stuffed  with 
leaves  and  soaked  with  coal-oil  by 
members  of  the  class  of  '10,  Captain 
Gibbs  applied  the  match;  and  as  it 
burned,  speeches  were  made  and  songs 
sung,  until  the  last  ember  had  died  out.. 
On  the  morrow  the  Senior  members 
of  the  team  were  to  play  their  last 
game  under  Lake  Forest's  standard,, 
and  Mr.  Vaughn's  connection  with  the 
students  as  their  coach,  was  to  be_- 
severed. 


PROFESSOR   McNEIL  CHOSEN  TEMPORARY 
EXECUTIVE 

At  a  meeting  of  the  faculty  last 
Tuesday  afternoon,  Professor  McNeil 
was  chosen  to  act  as  executive  in 
faculty  matters  until  a  Dean  shall  be 
appointed.  It  is  thought  that  the 
Trustees  will  select  a  Dean  in  about 
two  weeks. 


President  Elliot,  of  Harvard,  the- 
foremost  opponent  of  football,  under 
the  old  rules,  says  the  game  is  now  a 
decided  improvement  and  less  brutal, 
but  he  hopes  to  see  it  improve  still 
more.

Dr.  Harlan's 
Resignation. 

It  was  with  the  sense  of  a  personal 
loss  that  we  received  the  news  of 
President  Harlan's  resignation.  We 
feel  that  no  man,  president  or  profes- 
sor, has  had,  or  could  have,  a  deeper 
interest  in  the  students  and  in  their 
various  enterprises.  He  has  known 
his  students  almost  from  the  day  they 
entered;  he  has  recognized  them 
wherever  he  might  meet  them,  and  has 
always  taken  pleasure  in  talking  with 
them.  Little  wonder  then  that  we 
feel  a  loss. 

We  keenly  appreciate,  too,  his 
efforts — and  they  have  been  rewarded 


with  success — to  pull  Lake  Forest  Col- 
lege up  above  the  danger  mark,  and  to 
bring  her  to  her  risjhtful  place  among 
the  colleges  of  the  west.  A  few  years 
ago,  it  was  commonly  suggested  that 
the  College  might  better  be  permitted 
to  die  out,  that  all  efforts  might  be  con- 
centrated upon  the  development  of  the 
secondary  schools.  Such  a  suggestion, 
—  and  largely  through  Dr.  Harlan's 
efforts,  we  feel — would  not  for  a  mom- 
ent be  entertained  now.  ''The  college 
is  here  to  stay  and  to  grow." 

We  expect  a  little  slacking  in  our 
progress,  for  a  time,  perhaps  until  a 
new  man  can  get  hold  of  things,  but 
that  period  will  be  followed  by  another 
of  great  activity.  Though  we  do  not 
understand  all  the  ways  of  our  Board 
of  Trustees,  we  believe  that  they  have 
our  highest  interests  at  heart;  we  are 
confident  that  they  will  make  the 
erection  of  the  new  buildings  promised 
a  possibility,  and  we  are  sure  that  they 
will  take  all  care  in  selecting  a  presi- 
dent to  succeed  Dr.  Harlan. 

We  cannot  help  making  a  few 
observations,  however,  drawn  from  the 
events  of  the  past  two  years.  We  be- 
lieve that  loyalty  to  the  institution 
demands  loyalty  to,  and  cooperation 
with,  him  who  happens  to  be  at  our 
head.  Any  president,  be  he  never  so 
excellent,  is  bound,  hand  and  foot,  by 
lack  of  harmony  among  those  with 
whom  he  has  to  deal.  From  the  pres- 
ent trend  of  events  too,  we  fear  that 
those  who  have  the  matter  in  hand, 
may  overestimate  the  value  of  a  busi- 
ness capacity  in  a  president.  Neces- 
sary as  that  is,  we  still  believe  that  a 
man  who  is  purely  and  simply  a  busi- 
ness man,  has  no  place  as  the  presi- 
dent of  a  college. 

Notwithstanding  our  sense  of  loss, 
our  appreciation  of  Dr.  Harlan's  work 
and  our  regret  that   circumstances    are 


THE  STENTOR

-as  they  are,  our  hope  for  the  future  of 
our  College  is  all  undimmed.  For,  as 
President  Harlan  himself  has  said: 
"Presidents'  may  come  and  go — the 
College  is  immortal!" 

Coach  Vaughn  Leaves. 

The  close  of  the  football  season 
]ast  Saturday  brought  to  an  end  the 
very  pleasant  relations  between  us  as 
students,  and  our  coach,  Mr.  Vaughn 
Not  only  has  he  done  wonderful  things 
with  the  raw  material  in  our  athletic 
teams,  but  he  has  formed  many  friend- 
ships among  the  students  and  the 
townspeople.  Wherever  he  may  go, 
we  wish  him  God-speed,  and  as  good 
success  as  he  has  enjoyed  here. 


THE  ALUMNI   GATHERING 

Nearly  fifty  alumni  dropped  their 
business  pursuits  to  come  and  see  the 
football  game  with  Monmouth.  In 
the  evening  they  assembled  at  the 
gymnasium  and  joined  with  all  who 
claim  L.  F.  C.  as  their  alma  mother,  in 
a  night  of  jollity. 

The  Evens  and  the  Odds  engaged 
in  a  hot  game  of  indoor-baseball, 
wherein  the  old  boys  displayed  some 
startling  agility,  much  to  the  enjoy- 
ment of  the  under  grads.  The  Evens 
won  13  to  12,  thanks  to  the  remark- 
ably even  twirling  of  Wm.  "Mather 
Eewis  for  the  Evens,  and  the  odd 
maneuvers  of  the  'Odds  team.  The 
batteries  for  the  Odds  were  Dave 
Jackson  and  Corny  Betten;  Bill  Lewis 
and  D.  Watson  for  the  Evens. 

A  basket-ball  game  between  the 
Scrubs  and  the  Freshmen  followed,  re- 
sulting in  the  Freshmen  winning  the 
game  and  the  Scrubs  the  glory. 

Among  the  fifty  Alumni  present 
were  Wm.  Mather  Lewis,  Dr.  Linnell, 
David  and  John  Jackson,  A.  C.  Dunn 
Robert  Hood,  A.  E.  Burghart  and  Sol. 
BJoom. 


WAUKEGAN     STUDENTS      ANGERED      BY 
LAKE  FOREST  MEN. 

"Confound  those  Lake  Forest  fellows 
anyway.  They  have  cut  me  out  of  all  ex- 
cept three  dances  tonight." 

That  is  one  of  the  many  similar  re- 
marks one  hears  in  the  smoking  room  at 
Perrins  Hall  these  days,  as  dance  after 
dance,  the  Waukegan  youths  sorrowfully 
watch  the  Lake  Forest  fellows  waltz  around 
the  floor,  while  they — the  Waukeganites — 
console  themselves  with  cigarettes. 

It  seems  that  this  year,  more  than  ever 
before,  the  students,  most  of  them 
Freshies,  from  Lake  Forest  college  come 
up  to  the  dances  on  Friday  and  Saturday 
nights  at  Perrins  Hall  in  large  numbers. 
Owing  to  their  being  older  than  the  Wauke- 
gan boys,  and  as  they  are  more  free  to  do 
what  they  please  and  have  more  money  to 
spend,  they  have  made  a  very  great  "hit" 
with  the  Waukegan  girls,  who  whenever  a 
Lake  Forest  man  is  around,  won't  even 
look  at  a  Waukeganite.  The  Lake  Forest 
"bunch"  always  come  up  without  partners 
and  as  a  result  Waukegan  fellows  have  to 
sit  out  all  but  the  first  and  last  dances. 

This  is  a  curious  condition  of  affairs 
and  is  very  funny  to  all  except  the  partner- 
less  Waukegan  youths-,  who  are  threatening 
dire  vengeance  on  Lake  Forest  and  every- 
thing connected  with  it.  Let  us  hope  that 
Waukegan  will  come  off  victorious  in  all  ' 
the  duels  that  have  been  arranged  to  take 
place  between  the  offended  Waukegan 
boys  and  the  offending  Lake  Forest  men.

The  Junior  class  in  its  meeting  last 
Tuesday,  elected  members  of  its  two 
most  important  committees:  Trophy 
Room  Committee:  F.  Berkheiser 
(chairman),  Sanders,  Miss  Livingstone, 
and  Miss  Halsey;  Junior  Prom  Com-

The  Senior  girls  showed  their 
loyalty  to  the  foot-ball  team  last  Sat- 
urday by  having  a  lunch  tent  on  the 
ground.  Sandwiches,  coffee  and 
candies  were  served. 

The  men  of  the  Senior  class  held 
the  first  of  a  series  of  dinners  last  Tues- 
day night  at  theJCommons.  The  busi- 
ness of  the  evening  was  the  discussion 
of  plans  for  some  social  affair  for  the 
entire  class.  Akira  lzuma  presided 
over  the  baked  goose. 


The  Senior  class 
has  elected  a  Scrap 
Book  Committee, 
which  is  to  collect  clippings,  notices., 
invitations,  programs,  pictures;  and 
anything  of  interest  concerning  the 
class  or  its  individual  members,  and  to 
collect  them  into  a  scrap-book  for  the 
Trophy  Room.  An  historian  of  the-

titled "The  Last  Quarter  Century  of 
English  Literature." 

Through  our  loss  of  the  football 
game  last  Saturday  Hardy  lost  an 
opportunity  for  a  neat  piece  of  adver-

tory. 

The  students  who  expect  to  enter 
the  ministry  met  for  the  second  time

The   Academy    Game    With    Morgan  ParK. 

Saturday,  November  17th,  the 
whole  Academy  went  in  a  body  to  see 
the  game  between  its  team  and  Mor- 
gan Park.  On  dope  we  were  bound 
to  be  beaten  but  we  knew  our  team 
and  felt  confident  that  on  a  fair  field 
and  with  no  favor  shown,  they  would 
put  up  a  good  showing.  Everybody 
was  in  good  shape  except  little  Jack 
Frost,  our  quarter,  whose  arm  still 
felt  the  effect  of  the  Culver  game. 

We  were  all  so  excited  that  the 
train  seemed  to  crawl  along  and  after 
reaching  Morgan  Park  we  lost  no 
time  in  getting  to  the  field.  Mr.  Rent- 
dorf  and  Mr.  Crawford  made  record 
time  in  going  up  that  hill.  And  then 
we  found  what  we  had  feared,  that  the 
field  was  nothing  but  sticky  mud. 

But  no  mud  could  keep  in  check 
the  vim  with  which  our  boys  went  into 
the  game.  Morgan  Park  was  swept 
clear  off  its  feet  with  surprise,  and 
within  the  first  three  minutes  of  play, 
Bedell  went  across  the  line  for  a  touch- 
down. L.  F.  A.  went  fairly  crazy  with 
joy,  and  clamored  for  more.  Morgan 
Park  made  a  desperate  stand  and  on  a 
fumble  secured  the  ball  and  made  a 
touchdown,  but  failed  to  kick  goal. 
The  score  was  5  to  6  in  our  favor.  The 
work  of  Oswalt,  Bedell,  Schnur  and 
Savage  was  especially  remarkable  in 
this  period. 

In  the  second  half  we  started  off 
with  a  rush,  but  Morgan  Park  seemed 
to  have  recovered  from  their  stage 
fright  and  their  plays  were  executed 
with  greater  precision.  Still  we  fought 
valiantly.     We    advanced  the    ball   to 


their  two  yard  line  only  to  lose  it  on 
what  seemed  a  fearfully  close  decision. 
The  enthusiasm  of  the  crowd  too  was 
against  us,  and  it  swarmed  across  the 
lines,  and  deceived  our  men  as  to 
where  they  were.  With  about  two 
minutes  of  play  left  and  when  we 
were  within  striking  distance  of  their 
goal  a  Morgan  Park  player  secured 
the  ball  on  an  error  in  passing  and 
started  on  the  run  down  the  field.  But 
after  him  came  the  once  yellow  haired 
Peters  like  a  flash.  And  within  ten 
yards  of  their  goal  Peters  caught  him 
magnificently.  We  made  a  desperate 
stand,  but  Morgan  Park  was  too 
strong  and  made  the  touchdown  and 
kicked  goal,  making  the  score  1 1  to 
6.  The  game  ended  soon  after  and  all 
that  was  left  for  us  to  do  was  to  cheer 
our  team.  Though  defeated,  they 
were  not  beaten  or  disgraced. 

They  put  up  a  fine,  plucky  fight 
against  what  seemed  overwhelming 
odds;  they  went  boldly  into  the  en- 
emy's country  and  swept  them  off 
their  feet;  they  played  heady,  resource- 
ful football,  standing  shoulder  to 
shoulder,  fighting,  not  each  man  for 
himself,  but  every  man  for   the  school. 

The  Academy  feels  that  its  team 
of  1906,  though  not  successful  as  a 
winning  team,  has  been  eminently 
victorious  in  pluck,  in  grit,  in  game- 
ness,  in  unity  of  purpose,  that  it  is  a 
team  of  which  to  be  proud. 


The  students  at  the  University  of

Wednesday.  The  following  is  a  copy 
of  the  resolutions: 

We,  the  students  of  Lake  Forest

keen  personal  interest  in  our  welfare; 
his  hearty  cooperation  with  us  in  all 
student  enterprise;  and  his  untiring 
efforts  to  lead  our  College  into  her 
kingdom,  take  this  opportunity  to  ex- 
press our  appreciation  of  his  efforts  in 
our  behalf,  and  of  his  intense  devotion 
and  loyalty  to  our  Alma  Mater;  and  to 
tender  to  him  our  heartiest  good 
wishes  for  the  future. " 


PHRENOLOGICAL  SEANCE 


Students  Are  Introduced  Into  Mysteries  Of 
Phrenology 

Last  Thursday' and  Friday  nights 
the  men  on  the  campus  were  given  the 
opportunity  of  glancing  ■  into  the 
mysteries  of  phrenology,  and  incident- 
ally of  sinking  considerable  of  their 
spare  cash.  On  the  two  evenings,  two 
of  the  fraternities  in  succession  offered 
the  hospitality  of  their  rooms  .  to  all 
who  might  care  to  hear.  The  ''Profes- 
sor" in  both  cases  began  his  seance 
with  a  short  lecture  upon  the  scientific 
principles  which  govern  the  art  of  the 
phrenologist,  after  which  he  devoted 
his  time  to  reading  heads.  In  some 
cases  his  reading  of  character  was  re- 
markably accurate  but  in  some  others 
he  was  somewhat  at  sea.  He  examined 
the  two  evenings  some  thirty  or  forty 
subjects. 


CHICAGO    PRESBYTERY   HOLDS   RETREAT 
IN  LAKE  FOREST 

Through  the  invitation  of  Dr.

its  wonted  custom,  when  convening  in 
Chicago,  the  Chicago  Presbytery,  in  a 
body,  came  to  Lake  Forest  for  a 
"retreat",  last  Monday.  The  session 
was  nearly  an  all  day  one,  but  just  be- 
fore the  noon  hour,  the  entire  com- 
pany of  ministers  and  elders  number- 
ing over  one  hundred,  visited  the 
chapels  of  the  three  departments  of 
the  University.  The  evening  meeting 
was  open  to  the  public;  Dr.  Bushnelh 
who  had  been  the  moving  spirit  of  the 
day,  spoke  the  closing  words.

The  annual  Retreat  of  the  Chi- 
cago Presbytery  was  held  at  Lake

speak  at  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  meeting  of

his  talk  was  the  building  of  character: 
there  are  three  types  of  ambition — 
and  ambition  largely  determines 
character — and  these  are  to  get  on, 
to  get  honor,  to  be  honest,  "on,  honor,, 
honest."

GarricR    Club     Tryout 


Thirteen  Students  in  Competition  for  Member- 
ship in  the  GarricR  Club.       Present 
Two  Excellent  Farces. 


The  new  method  of  trying  the 
ability  of  the  various  candidates  for 
Garrick  Club  Memberships  was  put  to 
a  test  a  week  ago  last  Friday  night; 
and  it  proved  so  successful  that  it  is 
sure  to  become  the  permanent  method. 

Two  farces,  "After  the  storm 
comes  a  calm"  by  J.  Madison  Morton, 
and  "Ici  on  Parle  Francais,"  by  T.  J. 
Williams,  both  lively  and  full  of 
humorous  situations,  were  presented 
by  the  thirteen  students  who  had  been 
chosen  from  the  number  of  those  who 
desired  memberships  in  the  Club. 

The  cast  of  the  first  farce  is  as 
follows: 

Major  Jeremiah  Pelican  -  -  Mr.  Hubbard 
Dr.  Vicisimus  Prettywell  -  -  Mr.  Woldorf 
Joseph         -  Mr.  Bush 

Mrs.  Pelican  ...  Miss  Williams 
Mrs.  Major  Pelican  -  -  Miss  Hendy 
Fanny         ....  Miss  Miller 

The  scene  is  in  London.     Time,  present. 

Excellent  as  was  the  work  of  each 
member  of  the  cast,  that  of  Mr.  Wal- 
dorf and  Miss  Williams  was  probably 
best.  The  presentation  was,  on  the 
whole,  excellent,  being  marred  only 
by  the  failure  of  the  curtain  to  drop 
at  the  critical  moment. 

The  second  farce,  while  probably 
little  superior  to  the  first,  in    presenta- 


tion, was  much  the  funnier  and  more 
interesting  of  the  two.  The  star  and 
"staress"  of  this  farce,  if  it  be  possible 
to  choose,  were  probably  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Spriggins.  Mr.  Robineau's  part, 
though  less  spectacular,  was  in  some 
ways  the  most  finished  production  of 
the  evening.  Anna  Maria  was  an  ex- 
cellent maid  of  all  work.  The  part  of 
Major  Rettan  could  not  have  been 
filled  to  better  advantage.  And 
the  other  two  parts,  though  least  spec- 
tacular of  all,  were  very  consistently 
carried  out.  The  followingis'the  cast: 
Mr.  Spriggins  (a  gentleman  who 

has  lodgings  to  let)      -         -       Mr.  Schwartz 

Major  Regulus  Rettan         -         -        Mr.  Boys 

Victor  Ruboin      ...       Mr.  Robineau 

Mrs.  Spriggins  -  -  Miss  Bockhoff 

Julia,  Mrs.  Rettan       -         -       Miss  Goldsmith 

Angelina  Spriggins  -  -         Miss  Wild 

Anna  Maria  (maid  of  all  work)  Miss  Reynolds 

The  scene  is  in  Dipwell,    an    English 

sea  coast  watering  place. 

*  Time,  present. 

A  great  deal  of  credit  is  due  not 
only  to  those  who  worked  so  hard  to 
gain  admission  to  the  Club,  but  also  to 
Professor  John  M.  Clapp,  under  whose 
wise  direction  these  farces  were  so 
successfully  produced.  The  success- 
ful candidates  will  be  announced  short- 
ly before  Christmas  vacation.

PROFESSOR    HALSEY  MADE  ACTING 
PRESIDENT. 

It  was  announced  last  Tuesday  at 
chapel  that  Professor  Halsey  has  been 
appointed  by  the  Board  of  Trustees, 
Acting  President,  until  the  inaugura- 
tion of  the  new  President.  It  will  be 
remembered  that  Professor  Halsey 
has  once  before  acted  in  this  capacity 
— between  the  administrations  of 
Presidents  Coulter  and  McClure  —  so 
that  he  is  perfectly  conversant  with 
the  duties  and  the  burdens  of  the 
office.  We  have  all  confidence  that 
Dr.  Halsey  as  Acting  President  will 
take  up  the  work  just  where  it  was 
left  off  by  Dr.  Harlan,  as  far  as  it  is 
possible,  and  will  turn  every  energy 
to  the  advancement  of  Lake  Forest 
College. 

In  his  talk  at  Chapel  Dr.  Halsey 
spoke  of  it  as  a  most  hopeful  sign  that 
the  Board  of  Trustees  should  send  a 
delegation  to  confer  with  the  faculty 
to  obtain  its  ideas  as  to  the  kind  of 
president  we  should  have  as  they  did 
last  Monday  afternoon.  He  also  ex- 
pressed a  hope  that  a  president  may 
be  secured,  young  enough  to  serve 
for  twenty-five  years;  and  he  asserted 
confidently  that  a  new  president  will 
be  selected  and  will  be  upon  the 
grounds  by  Commencement. 


THANKSGIVING  DINNER  AT  THE  COMMONS 

Nearly  thirty  men,  mindful  of 
Mrs.  Harper's  remarkable  dinner  last 
Thanksgiving,  remained  to  try  again 
this  year,  and  were  more  than  repaid 
for  their  faith  in  her    culinary    powers. 

To  enumerate  the  various  dishes 
with  which  she  tickled  their  palates 
would  make  this  sheet  look  like  a 
White  House  cook  book.  But  suffice 
it  to  say  that  the  door  space  was  fully 
filled  by  each  one  as  he  left  the    Com- 


mons. L.  Jones  says  he  weighed  162 
before  and  166  after.  The  others 
didn't  dare  tell  their  weights  for 
modesty's  sake. 

Not  a  thing  edible  remained  on  the 
tables — what  they  could  not  carry  off 
within  themselves,  they  took  off  and 
even  at  this  late  date  we  see  the  thirty 
occassionally  munching  on  some  of 
the  Thanksgiving  dessert.  The  dinner 
was  to  have  ended  with  a  song,  but 
they  were  too  full  for  utterance,  even 
to  grunt  was  painful. 


GLEE  CLUB 

The  Men's  Glee  Club  is  to  start 
work  immediately  in  preparation  for 
the  annual  spring  trip.  A  considerable 
number  of  old  men  are  here — enough 
to  form  a  good  nucleus  around  which 
will  be  built  the  new  club  The  sorest 
loss  which  the  club  has  sustained  is 
the  loss  of  Mr.  Stevens,  who  so  suc- 
cessfully conducted  the  Club  for  the 
past  two  years. 

It  is  still  hoped  that  Mr.  Phillips 
will  return  to  Lake  Forest  for  the 
second  semester,  and  that  he  will 
take  the  leadership.  However,  in  the 
meantime,  the  Club  will  not  be  idle. 
Upon  the  resignation  of  Wilson,  who 
was  elected  temporary  leader  just  be- 
fore Thanksgiving,  Mr.  Talcott  has 
taken  up  the  work.  The  men  have 
great  confidence  in  Talcott's  ability, 
and  there  is  every  reason  to  believe 
that  he  will  produee  an  excellent  Glee 
Club.

PRESIDENT    JORDAN,   OF  LELAND    STAN- 
FORD,    LECTURES     ON    "THE 
HUMAN  HARVEST." 

Last  Tuesday  at  four  o'clock  in 
the  Reid  Memorial  Chapel,  President 
David  Starr  Jordan  of  Leland  Stanford 
University,  addressed  students  and 
townspeople  on  "The  Human  Harvest.' 

Dr.  Jordan  spoke  first  of  his  pleas- 
ure at  revisiting  Lake  Forest,  he  hav- 
ing been  here  some  nineteen  or  twenty 
years  ago.  *  *  *  Of  the  reign  of 
the  emperor  it  has  been  said  "The 
human  harvest  was  bad,"  meaning  that 
good  soldiers    were    becoming    scarce. 

*  *  *  A  certain  wise  man  endeavor- 
ing to  produce  a  horse  which  should 
combine  the  fine  qualities  of  all  horses, 
invoked  the  genii:  Variation,  Heredity, 
Selection  and  Segregation.  He 
succeeded,  discovering  that  in  any 
generation,  the  horses  that  survive 
determine  the  future  breed. ^Another 
man,  with  the  same  purpose,  tried  to 
develop  his  horses  by  spurring  them 
on.  But  he  wore  out  the  best  horses, 
leaving  the  weaker  ones  to  determine 
the  future  breed.  *  *  It  was. in  this 
latter  way — because  of  the  loss  of  the 
strong  men — that  Rome  fell.  "Only 
cowards  were  left,"  to  determine  the 
future  Romans.  *  *  For  this  reason 
too,  Greece  fell  into   decadence.     *     * 

*  *  The  weakness  of  France,  today, 
is  the  result  of  Napoleon's  wholesale 
sacrifice  of  the  noblest  French 
blood.  *  *  Switzerland,  Spain  and 
England  have  suffered  by  shedding 
their  noblest  blood  upon  the  battle- 
field. *  *  And  our  own  Civil  War 
destroyed  seven  hundred  thousand 
of  our  strongest  men;  we  suffer  for  it 
today.  *  *  *  The  salvation  of  the 
world,  in  this  respect,  rests  upon 
"Peace  on  earth;  good  will  toward 
men."

The  game  was  somewhat  marred  by 
the  muddy  field  and  the  mean  disposi- 
tions displayed  by  some  of  the  naught- 
nine  men  but  was  nevertheless  excit- 
ing enough  to  extract  quite  a  few 
routing  cheers  from  the  bleachers. 
There  were  several  men  on  each  team 
that  should  be  out  for  the  first  team 
next  year. 

In  the  first  halt  the  ball  was  in  the 
Sophomores'  territory  most  of  the 
time  but  the  Freshmen  were  unable  to 
reach  the  goal  line  and  the  half  ended 
with  no  score.  During  the  intermis- 
sion the  freshies  held  a  class  meeting 
and  appointed  Lewis  as  a  committee 
of  one  to  investigate  the  charges 
brought  against  the  timekeepers.  He 
tried  faithfully  to  unearth  the  truth 
but  the  handle  of  his  muck  rake  was 
too  short  and  he  was  forced  to  give  up. 

Inspired  by  the  words  of  Coach 
Stoltz  the  Sophomores  started  in  the 
second  half  to  do  things  and  Mather's 
machine  was  forced  back  to  the  five 
yard  line.  Here  it  held  and  the  ball 
changed  hands.  Stark  tried  to  punt 
from  behind  the  line  but  the  kick    was 


blocked  and  the  ^Sophomores  scored 
on  a  safety.  Another  safety  later  in 
the  half  ended  the  scoring  and  the 
Freshmen  walked  sadly  homeward 
thanking  Gibbs  and  the  mud  for  their 
able  assistance  in  keeping  the  score 
down. 

On  being  interviewed  after  the 
game  the  various  "notables"  gave  out 
the  following  statements. 

Captain  Scott,  '09. — "On  a  dry 
field  we  would  have  beaten  them  by 
twenty  points." 

Coach  Stoltz. — "Fine  game.  I 
raise  Scott  twenty." 

Captain  Stark,  '10. — "Glad  they 
didn't  score  any  more." 

Coach  Mather. — "Same  here." 

Mr.  VVynn. — "That  Scott  man 
cert'nly  can  run  and  that  Stark  am 
some  player."

Callahan  Elected  Football  Captain. 

The  football  men  who  received 
monograms  for  this  season's  work 
met  at  the  gymnasium  and  unanimously 
elected  Leon  Callahan,  '08,  captain 
for  nineteen  seven.  Callahan  entered 
Lake  Forest  as  a  Sophomore,  coming 
from  Nebraska  University.  He  played 
end  that  fall  and  was  shifted  to  full 
back  this  year,  *where  he  has  played  a 
good,  consistent  game  throughout  the 
season. 

BasKet  Ball  Prospects— Louis  Scott  Elected 
Captain 

Because  of  ill  health  Joe  McCrea 
was  forced  to  resign  as  captain  of  the 
basket  ball  team  and  will  not  be  able 
to  get  into  the  game  this  year.  Louis 
Scott  '09,  has  been  elected  to  fill  the 
vacancy.  Scott  played  a  good  game 
at  guard  last  year  and  knows  the  game 
thoroughly. 

Prospects  are  better  now  for  a 
winning  team  than  ever  before.  Of 
the  eight  men  that  played  with  the 
first  team  last  year,  six  are  back  and 
intend  to  try  for  the  team. 

Among  the  Freshmen  who  have 
played  and  are  coming  out  are:  Potter 
and  Keck,  forwards,  and  Westerwelt, 
center,  of  the  Fairbury  High  School 
Team;  Heller,  center,  and  Morrison 
from  Pontiac;  Mather,  center,  and  Paul 
Stoltz,-  guard  from  Ottumwa;  Bush, 
center  from  Joliet,  and  Lowe,  center 
on  the  Everts  High  School  team, 
which  won  the  state  , championship  for 
1906. 

With  six  old  men  as  a  nucleus  and 
so  many  prep,  school  stars,  any  man 
that  earns  a  place  on  the  team  will 
have  to  work  for  it,  and  a  successful 
season  is  practically    assured.

The  Chapel  Service. 

From  time  to  time  ever  since  the 
institution  of  the  daily  chapel  service, 
there  have  been  demands  by  the  stu- 
dents for  something  to  relieve  the 
monotony  of  the  service.  There  have 
been  some  efforts  made  at  times  to 
meet  the  demand;  but  these  brief  re- 
spites have  been  followed  invariably 
by  an  almost  intolerable — to  some — 
monotony. 

The  students  perhaps  with  one  or 
two  exceptions,  do  not  object  to  the 
religious  part  of  the  service,  indeed 
they  consider  that  the  important  part, 
but  they  are  agreed  one  and  all  that  it 
should  be  made  more  interesting.     As 


has  been  agreed  heretofore,  our  prox- 
imity to  the  metropolis  of  the  west 
gives  us  the  opportunity  of  securing  as 
speakers  some  of  the  foremost  men  of 
the  country — indeed  we  scarcely  need 
to  go  outside  our  own  little  city  for 
such  men.  The  difficulty  then  lies  not 
in  our  lack  of  opportunity. 

We  have  been  very  glad  to  learn 
that  Dr.  Halsey  has  appreciated  this 
need  of  something  with  'which  to  en- 
liven the  chapel  exercise.  And  we 
have  been  assured  that  as  Acting  Pres- 
ident he  will  endeavor  to  bring  to  us 
occasionally  men  who  really  have 
something  worth  while  to  tell  us.  Such 
efforts  will  be  highly  appreciated  by 
every  student  and  they  cannot  but  re- 
sult in  a  better  chapel  attendance,  upon 
which  more  than  any  other  one  thing 
depends  the  esprit  de  corps  of  our  col- 
lege communitv- 


DOWIE'S  DOWNFALL  COMPLETE. 

Clothed  in  his  gorgeous  apostolic 
robes,  surrounded  by  his  faithful  lieu- 
tenants and  followers,  John  Alexander 
Dowie,  once  the  autocratic  ruler  of  a 
hundred  thousand  people,  last  Sunday 
afternoon  gave  a  public  demonstration 
of  complete  mental  breakdown. 
Against  the  wishes  of  his  advisors, 
showing  evidence  of  his  former  indom- 
itable will,  he  insisted  upon  conducting 
the  usual  Sunday  afternoon  service  in 
his  palatial  home  where  in  the  drawing 
room,  reception  hall  and  massive  din- 
ing room  several  hundred  people  had 
gathered  to  hear  the  prophetic  message 
from  the  lips  of  the  "First  Apostle". 

That  he  was  hopelessly  insane  was 
apparent  from  the  first  sentence  he 
uttered.  As  his  negro  attend- 
ants carried  him  down  stairs  he  gave 
his  usual  salute  and  then  launched  into 
a  glowing  tribute  to  a  dead  general 
whom  he  imagined  he  had  been  called

upon  to  eulogize.  His  disordered 
brain  even  led  him  to  declare  that  the 
remains  were  there  before  him  and  to 
call  upou  all  the  people  to  attend  the 
funeral  at  the  Zion  City  cemetery. 

His  attendants  becoming  alarmed 
made  several  unsuccessful  attempts  to 
stop  their  leader  before  it  was  too  late. 
He  roused  himself  and  commanded 
them  to  be  seated  declaring  that  the 
First  Apostle  would  brook  no  inter- 
ruption or  interference,  declaring  that 
some  powerful  official  was  present  at 
the  funeral  and  that  his  warship  was 
anchored  off  Zion   City. 

It  was  a  sad  sight,  that  of  this  once 
powerful  man,  whose  body  is  now 
wasted  by  disease  to  a  mere  shadow, 
and  whose  great  brain  is  today  a  com- 
plete wreck.  There  were  his  poor  ig- 
norant followers,  collected  together  to 
obey  his  commands  and  follow  his  lead- 
ership— -sheep     without     a      shepherd. 

[Editor's  Note, — This  dramatic 
episode  in  the  life  of  the  remarkable 
character,  Dowie,  is  reported  by  our 
Literary  Editor,  who  was  an  eye  wit- 
ness.] 


THE  COLLEGE  WORLD. 

A  Marathon  cross  country  race 
was  run  recently  at  Cornell  over  a 
distance  of  ten  and  a  half  miles  in 
1:03.08. 

Sophomores  and  freshmen  at 
Minnesota  arranged  for  a  cane 
rush  on  the  night  of  November  23. 
The  rush  was  held  in  the  Armory 
and  admission  was  charged. 

From  the  Michigan  Inlander  we 
clip  this  awful  thought — "most  people 
do  not  think  their  own  thoughts. 
They  simply  think  what  they  think 
other  people  think  they  ought  to 
think." — Ex. 


Dean  Holgate,  of  Northwestern, 
posted  an  official  bulletin  recently 
which  announced  that  hereafter  men 
and  women  should  eat  at  separate 
boarding  houses.  The  following  list  of 
rules  was  also  added   to    the    bulletin: 

Segregated  chapel  services  once  a 
week. 

No  roses  or  chocolates  from  the 
men. 

No  after  theater  cab  rides  from 
the  railroad  station  to  their  homes. 

No  callers  allowed  to  stay  after 
9:30  o'clock  and  all  lights  out  at  10 
o'clock. 

No  spooning  on  college  steps  or 
courting  on  the   college  campus. 

No  moonlight  walks  without  a 
chaperon. 

No  sorority  houses. 

No  boat  rides  on  the  lake  unless 
in  the  company  of  a  member  of  the 
United  States  life  saving  crew. — 
Cardinal.  / 

Syracuse  university  is  in  the 
throes  of  reform.  Chancellor  Day  of 
that  university,  has  just  issued  a  list  of 
commandments  to  supplement  the 
ones  recently  proclaimed  which  pro- 
hibited the  use  of  the  bull  dog  and 
made  it  a  crime  at  Syracuse  to  visit 
"Dutch  Kitchens"  or  billiard  parlors. 
Under  the  new  rule  no  student  of  the 
university  shall  be  seen  upon  the 
streets  after  midnight  without  special 
permission.  Any  man  who  keeps  a 
girl  of  the  university  out  after  mid- 
night will  be  treated  as  a  miscreant  by 
the  authorities.  The  rules-  also  say 
that  "No  young  woman  of  the  univer- 
sity shall  visit  any  dance  hall  of  any 
sort  in  the  city,  unless  to  attend  some 
function  recognized  as  a  university 
affair  and  sanctioned  by  the  authori- 
ties."— Cardinal.

Captain  Schnur  entertained  the

After  a  fine  dinner  the  fellows  were

■opportunity  for  the  afternoon  practice.

good  things  they  have  left  us  to  think 
over.  It  has  been  a  pleasure  to  meet 
socially.  A  number  of  the  tables  had 
the  honor  of  entertaining  her  at  din- 
ner. Besides  the  usual  lectures,  on 
the  evening  of  Tuesday,  the  twentieth, 
she  read  some  German  lyrics  in  the 
parlor.  Although  it  was  done  espec- 
ially for  the  German  students,  every 
one  enjoyed  it  as  much  as  they.  We 
are  grateful  to  her  for  all  the  pleasure 
and  help  she  has  given  us  and  hope 
this  will  not  be  her  last  appearance 
at  Ferry  Hall. 

Tuesday  morning  in  chapel  Miss 
Hughes  gave  an  interesting  account 
of  the  Ferry  Hall  Club  luncheon  at 
Peoria.  It  speaks  well  for  Ferry  Hall 
to  see  the  old  girls  so  loyal  to  the 
school,  and  so  ready  to  meet  at  least 
once  a  year  to  discuss  old  times  and 
old  friends  and  to  keep  in  touch  with 
the  school  life  of  today.  The  luncheon 
was    served    in    the    beautiful    country

club,  about  seven  miles  from  Peoria, 
overlooking  the  picturesque  Illinois 
river.  A  perfect  day  of  sunshine 
without,  and  a  roaring  fire  within  ex- 
tended a  cordial  welcome  to  the 
guests.  After  an  elaborate  luncheon 
the  president  of  the  Club,  Miss  Myra 
Vance,  '03,  spoke  in  enthusiastic  terms 
of  the  recent  Ferry  Hall  reunion  and 
introduced  the  toast  mistress,  Miss 
Anna  Blair,  '94.  Miss  Hughes  re- 
sponded to  the  toast  "Ferry  Hall;" 
Miss  Sizer,  "What  the  Reunion  Meant 
to  Ferry  Hall;"  Miss  Anita  Bruce,  '05, 
"The  Iowa-Nebraska  Ferry  Hall  Club;" 
Mrs.  Helen  Strawn  Gumbel,  '82,  "The 
Ferry  Hall  Girl  of  Today.''  Follow- 
ing the  luncheon  came  an  enjoyable 
program  of  music,  after  which  the 
guests  drove  back  to  the  city.  The 
luncheon  was  the  occasion  of  several 
more  informal  gatherings  in  Peoria.

by    $ttxdent$    of    College     and     Ferry     Hall 
Tomorrow  Nignt  at  Presbyterian  CntarcK 


To-morrow  evening  at  the  Pres- 
byterian church  the  students  of  the 
College  and  Ferry  Hall,- assisted  by  a 
solo  quartette  and  under  the  direction 
of  Miss  Fleming  of  Fairy  Hall,  will 
present  in  large  part  Handel's  Messiah. 
The  chorus  numbers  about  seventy- 
five  voices  and  despite  the  short  period 
of  rehearsals  it  promises  to  do  excel- 
lent work.  The  soloists  are  to  be  Miss 
Graham  (soprano),  Miss  Pettigrew 
(alto)  and  Mr.  Bemus  (bass)  of  the 
church  quartette,  and  Mr.  Brewster 
(tenor)  of  Chicago. 

The  project  was  originated  by  Dr. 
Boyle  but  he  has  been  greatly  assisted 
in  carrying  it  out  by  Dr.  Harlan,  Mrs. 
Thomas  and  Miss  Fleming.  It  has  met 
a  real  need  of  our  college  community — 
the  need  of  participation  by  the  stu- 
dents in  the  production  of  something 
of  lasting  worth  in   music.

ALFRED  MILES  BERGEN    RECITAL 

One  of  the  finest  musical  treats 
that  Lake  Forest  has  enjoyed  for 
years  was  the  song  recital  given  last 
Friday  night  in  the  Art  Institute  by 
Mr.  Alfred  Hiles  Bergen,  Baritone, 
who  was  but  a  few  years  ago  a  student 
at  the  Academy. 

Mr.  Bergen  has  a  voice  of  wide 
range,  beautiful  in  its  smoothness,  its 
flexibility,  its  sympathy  and  its  power, 
suited  alike  to  the  light  and  delicate 
"Die  Rose,  die  Liebe,  die  Sonne,"  of 
Schuman,  and  to  the  "big"  ''Pilgrim's 
Song"  of  Tschaikowsky  or  the  martial 
'''Two  Grenadiers"  of  Schuman. 

Although  still  very  youug,  Mr. 
Bergen  possesses  great  dramatic  power 
as  well  as  a  rare  voice.  It  has  been 
said  that  he  is  the  successor  of  David 
Bishpam.  Indeed,  he  promises  to  sur- 
pass him.  The  recital  last  Friday 
evening  was,  if  anything,  more  excel- 
lent than  that  which  Mr.  Bishpam 
gave  here  two  years  ago. 

It  is  greatly  to  be  regretted  that 
more  of  the  college  students  did  not 
hear  Mr.  Bergen.  The  entire  audience 
amounted  to  less  than  one  hundred, 
and  a  very  small  percentage  of  it  was 
students.  But  doubtless  the  smallness 
of  the  audience  was  due  chiefly  to 
lack  of  advertising  rather  than  to  any 
lack  of  appreciation  among  us  for 
such  things. 


A  big  university  is  being  planned 
for  Louisville,  Kentucky.  '  Workers 
for  a  $1,000,000  fund  have  been 
aroused  by  the  announcement  that  a 
prominent  eastern  man  had  agreed  to 
give  $500,000  provided  the  remainder 
can  be  raised.  The  Commercial  Club 
of  Louisville  has  already  secured  a 
$100,000  contribution  outside  the  city, 
so  that  prospects  for  the  greatest  uni- 
versity in  the  south  are  bright.

Baseball  After  the   Holidays. 

Captain  Milner  announces  that 
light  indoor  work  for  pitchers,  catchers 
and  first  basemen  will  start  immediate- 
ly after  Christmas.  There  seems  to 
be  an  abundance  of  catchers  this  year 
and  there  are  several  prospective  first 
basemen  but  pitchers  are  scarce. 

Bethard  will  be  back  next  semes- 
ter but  one  man  can't  do  it  all.  If  you 
ever  threw  acurve  come  out  and  loosen 
up  your  arm  after  vacation,  there  is  a 
good  chance  to  make  good. 

Blue  Goose  Athletic  Association. 

The  members  of  the  Blue  Goose 
baseball  team  met  last  week  and 
decided  to  organize  a  permanent  ath- 
letic association  for  the  purpose  of 
supplying  and  supporting  scrub  teams 
in  every  line  of  college  athletics.  It  is 
their  intention  to  obtain  good  schedules 
for  these  teams  and  to  make  the  life 
of  a  "scrub"  more  worth  living. 

The  Blue  Goose  ball  team  was  un- 
defeated last  spring  and  graduated 
several  players  to  the  regulars  before 
the  end  of  the  season.  Let's  hope  they 
will  be  as  successful  this  year. 

BasKetball  Squad  WorKing  Hard— Fresh- 
men Show  Up  Well. 

The  basketball  squad  has  been 
working  hard  for  the  past  two  weeks 
and  Mr.  Bradstreet  expects  to  have  the 
men  in  fairly  good  condition  by 
Christmas. 


They  are  somewhat  handicap  e 
by  not  havingihe  use  of  the  gymnas- 
ium on  two  days  out  of  the  six  but 
this  is  partly  overcome  by  having 
practice  games  with  the  Academy 
team  on  those  days. 

There  are  about  twenty  men  out 
for  the  team  and  competition  is  so  hot 
for  every  position  that  no  one  has  a 
place  assured  as  yet. 

One  of  the  most  encouraging 
things  is  the  showing  the  Freshman 
are  making. 

More  than  half  the  squad  consists 
of  1910  men  and  it  looks  as  though 
they  will  have  their  share  on  the 
regulars. 

The  schedule  is  not  completed  but 
will  be  nearly  the  same  as    last   year's. 

The  Lois  Hall  team  had  a  game 
scheduled  with  Highland  Park  for  last 
Saturday,  but  when  the  time  came  for 
the  game  their  opponents  had  not  ar- 
rived and  the  regulars  had  to  content 
themselves  by  beating  the  second 
team. 

Indoor  Baseball    Game    for  Benefit  of  the 
BasKetball    Team. 

The  third  annual  indoor  ball  game 
between  the  Bachelors  and  Married 
Men  is  due  to  take  place  soon.  A 
small  admission  will  be  charged  and 
the  proceeds  will  go  to  the  basketball 
team. 

This  contest  has  become  one  of 
the  most  interesting  events  of  the  year 


THE  STENTOR

not  only  in  an  athletic  way  but  also 
from  a  social  standpoint.  The  players 
are  all  old  stars  and  are  onto  the  fine 
points  of  the  game  and  the  costumes 
worn  will  make  the  Junior  Prom,  look 
sick.  Callahan  has  undertaken  to 
manage  the  deal  and  is  now  trying  to 
find  a  non-corruptible  umpire.  As 
soon  as  he  succeeds  the  date  of  the 
game  will  be  fixed. 

The  grand  march  will  start  prompt- 
ly at  seven-thirty. 

P.  S. — A  telegram  has  just  been 
received  from  the  captain  of  the  mar- 
ried men's  team  stating  that,  because 
of  unforseen  circumstances,  it  was 
necessary  to  change  the  name  of  his 
team  to  "The  Widowers."  He  assures 
us,  however,  that  the  players  are  the 
same  and  that  "no  ringers"  will  be 
played. 


FRESHMAN  DEBATE. 

The  subject  of  the  Freshman  de- 
bate with  Beloit  this  year  that  has  been 
presented  to  Lake  Forest  is:  Resolved, 
that,  conceding  the  constitutionality 
all  corporations  engaged  in  interstate 
commerce  be  compelled  to  take  out 
federal  license. 

Mr.  Burrill  will  meet  with  all  the 
Freshmen  who  wish  to  make  the  team 
on  Monday,  17th,  and  will  give  them 
preliminary  trial.  Lake  Forest  can 
choose  either  phase  of  the  question. 

The  debate  is  held  at  Beloit  this 
year.  The  Freshmen  should  strive 
keenly  to  make  the  team  for  it  means 
considerable  experience  and  a  most 
pleasurable  trip  not  to  mention  the 
personal  glory  which  falls  to' the  mem- 
bers of  a  successful  team.

We  wonder  what  kind  of  class 
spirit  it  is  that  will  permit  a  man  to  be 
"put  through"  or  "hazed"  by  other 
members  of  his  own  class. 

What  a  fine  Christmas  present  for 
the  College,  a  fifty  thousand  dollar 
endowment  would  make! 


[The  following  article  was  written  at  our  re- 
quest by  Mr.  Akira  Izuma,  our  representative 
from  Japan,  to  give,  us  some  idea  of  the 
Christmas  and  New  Year's  festivities  in  Japan. J 

"SAIBO"  IN  JAPAN 

The  latter  half  of  December  is  the 
happiest  time  of  the  year  for  the 
young  people  of  Japan.  This  short 
period  we  call    "Saibo",    which  means, 


literally,  "the  end  of  the  year",  but, 
virtually,  ''the  time  of  melody  and 
mirth." 

The  celebration  of  Christmas  dates 
from  fifty  years  ago,  when  it  was  in- 
troduced by  a  few  Christians  of  the 
coast  towns.  The  custom  has  spread 
gradually  through  the  country,  until 
now  it  is  considered  the  great  feast 
next  to  that  of  the  New  Year.  Being 
celebrated  during  the  season  of  "Saibo" 
it  has  greatly  intensified  the  meaning 
of  "Saibo." 

"Saibo"  starts  on  or  about  the 
twenty-fifth  of  December,  and  lasts 
until  the  New  Year.  During  this 
period  people  exchange  presents,  and 
make  short  calls  (a  long  stay  is  con- 
sidered impolite  on  such  an  occasion); 
sleighs  loaded  with  gifts  crowd  the 
streets  everywhere  one  goes;  and 
pedestrians  are  seen  weaving  through 
the  crowded  streets  with  quick  steps. 
Green  arches  of  pine  or  cedar  branches 
adorn  every  house,  poor  or  rich. 
Some  are  lighted  by  electricity,  while 
others  are  trimmed  with  Gifu  lanterns. 
The  foot  of  the  arch  is  matted  with 
rice  straw  bearing  rice,  on  which  some- 
times, are  stamped  the  two"  words 
"long  life"  and  "happiness".  In  front 
of  the  grain  and  sake  store,  we  may 
see  a  tremendous  arch  built  of  sake 
barrels  and  sacks  of  rice.  At  the  foot 
of  this  arch  stands  a  crowd  of  men 
drinking  with  small  dippers  from  a 
twenty  gallon  barrel  of  sake,  which  is 
made  of  rice.  It  is  free,  every  passer- 
by being  entitled  to  a  dipperful. 

There  is  another  curious  custom 
to  be  seen  on  the  street.  At  nearly 
every  corner  is  set  a  movable  stove 
near  which  work  three  or  four  muscu- 
lar fellow?  crushing  rice,  which  has 
been  previously  steamed,  in  a  mortar 
about  three  feet  in  height,  and  five 
feet  in  diameter.     The  dough-like  sub-

stance  which  results  is  called  "Mochi" 
and  it  is  made  only  at  this  time  of  the 
year.  It  is  eaten  with  sauce  made 
with  walnuts,  red  or  white  beans  or 
peas,  or  sometimes,  with  soup,  es- 
pecially game  soups — chicken,  duck  or 
quail.  It  is  generally  prepared  by 
slicing  it  in  pieces  an  inch  thick,  and 
then  baking  or  broiling  it  over  a  red 
fire;  or  it  is  cut  into  small  cubes, 
which  are  roasted  over  the  fire  till  they 
puff.  Maple  sugar,  chocalate  or 
molasses,  go  well  with  the  puffed 
"Mochi".  Chestnuts,  Japanese  tanger- 
ines, black  peas,  salted  salmon,  a  cer- 
tain edible  sea-weed,  new  rice,  and 
Saki  are  supposed  to  be  the  customary 
dishes  of  the  season. 

It  is  the  era  of  good  feeling. 
Parents  and  employers  delight  in  the 
happiness  of  their  children  and  em- 
ployees; creditor  clasps  hands  with 
debtor;  strangers  bow  to  each  other; 
rivals  put  aside  their  rivalry;  and  even 
enemies  greet  one  another  with  a  smile. 
They  sing  "happiness  within,  devils 
without",  for  all  evil  has  been  excluded 
for  a  time.  Such  a  scene  may  almost 
make  us  doubt  whether  they  have  ever 
known  or   felt   the    hardships     of    life. 


We  print  the  following  from  the 
O.skaloosa  (Iowa)  High  School  "O." 
Perhaps  Paul  can  explain.  "In  ex- 
change we  receive  "The  STENTOR,"

and  Mather,  of  Ottumwa,  are  on  the

he  would  remember  this :  'Stoltzie 
wants  his  ma-ma-ma?'  "

of  the  city,  and  for  this  purpose  several 
of  the  most  prominent  educational  ex- 
perts of  the  country  had  been  invited 
to  speak.  President  Butler  of  Colum- 
bia gave  the  strongest  and  straightest 
speech  of  the  evening.  He  denounced 
the  teachers'  union. 


A  Massachusetts  college  has 
adopted  the  following  for  a  way  to 
determine  the  supremacy  of  the  two 
lower  classes:  A  rope  three  hundred 
feet  long  is  stretched  across  a  pond. 
The  two  classes  take  hold  of  either  end 
and  in  the  tug  of  war  the  side  that 
pulls  its  opponents  into  the  water  and 
onto  the  opposite  shore  is  the    winner.

VESPER  SERVICE 

The  Yesper  Service  of  last  Sun-

Halsey.  The  theme  of  his  address 
was  the  growing  revelation  of  God. 
The  earliest  conception  of  God,  as  a 
personality,  was  that  of  an  awe-inspir- 
ing King.  That  conception  was  re- 
placed with  the  idea  of  God  as  a 
Prophet.  And       finally,        through 

Christ's  revelations  to  us,  we  have 
come  to  look  upon  Him  as  a  Father. 
Zophar's  query:  "Canst  thou  by 
searching  find  out  God?"  has  been 
answered.  The  virtues  set  forth  in 
the  character  of  Christ  are  the  attri- 
butes of  God.  Christ  is  the  Revealer 
of  God  to  us.

"An  American  Citizen" 


To    be    Presented    by   the    GarricK   Club    Friday 
Evening',  January  25tn. 


The  successful  contestants  for  the 
honor  of  membership  on  the  Garrick 
Club  have  finally  been  chosen.  They 
are:  Miss  Camilla  Bockhoff,  Miss  Bess 
Williams,  Miss  Goldsmith,  Mr.  Thomas 
Boys,  Mr.  George  Waldorf,  Mr.  Jacob 
Schwartz  and  Mr.  S.  Peter    Robineau. 

The  management  of  the  Garrick 
Club  has  announced  that  the  annual 
play  is  to  be  presented  on  January 
25th,  1907,  and  that  the  production  is 
to  be  an  "An  American  Citizen"  by 
Madeleinne  Lucette  Ryley. 

"An  American  Citizen"  is  one  of 
the  favorite  plays  of  the  celebrated 
American  comedian,  Nat  C.  Goodwin 
and  it  was  with  this  comedy  as  a  med- 
ium that  his  wife,  Miss  Maxine  Elliott, 
and  he  were  so  easily  able  to  gain  an 
enthusiastic  welcome  into  the  favor  of 
the  English  play  goers  during  their 
London  season  in  1902.  Its  light  but 
interesting  plot,  its  cleverly  depicted, 
truly  American  characters,  its  breezy 
dialogue  and  unending  "go,"  have 
made  the  play  one  of  the  most 
deservedly  popular  American  come- 
dies that  ever  an  American  author 
gave  to  an  American  company  to  pre- 
sent to    an    American    audience.      Its 


comedy  is  clean  and  mirthful  and 
there's  plenty  of  it  and  anyone  can  see 
the  humor  in  it — well  it  made  the 
English  laugh  —  what  further  com- 
mendation need  a  comedy  have? 

The  cast  of  characters  will  be  as 
follows: 

Beresford  Cruger Mr.  Lloyd  Munger 

Peter  Barbury Mr.  S-  Peter  Robineau 

Edgerton  Brown Mr.   Paul  B.  Sommers 

Sir  Humphrey  Bunn Mr.   Thomas  Boys 

Willie  Bunn Mr.   William   Igou

Lady  Bunn Miss  Marguerite    Robertson 

Georgia   Chapin Miss  Ann  Ryon 

Annette Miss  Goldsmith 

Mercury "Pee  Wee"  (Mr.  Headley) 

Beatrice  Carew Miss    Helen  Cutler 

The  play  is  in  four  acts  and  fur- 
nishes about  two  and  a  quarter  hours 
of  keen  pleasure.  The  production 
promises  to  be  a  finished  one  inasmuch 
as  the  cast  and  Professor  Clapp  spend 
two  to  three  hours  every  night  at 
rehearsal. 

Further  announcement  will  be 
made  in  the  next  issue  regarding  the 
procuring  of  reserved  seats,  etc.

STUDENTS  BID  DR.    HARLAN  FAREWELL. 

On  Monday,  December  17,  im- 
mediately after  an  abbreviated  chapel 
service,  nearly  the  entire  student  body 
went  to  the  station  to  bid  farewell  to 
Dr.  Harlan  and  his  wife,  who  were 
leaving  for  Washington.  For  ten 
minutes  before  the  arrival  of  the  train 
the  station  platform  resounded  with 
the  songs  and  yells  of  the  students  who 
thus  expressed  as  best  they  could  their 
sorrow  at  his  departure  and  their  good 
wishes  for  his  future. 


HARLAN   CUP. 


A  large  number  of  the  students 
were  desirous  of  presenting  to  Dr. 
Harlan,  a  substantial  token  of  the  high 
place  he  had  won  in  their  esteem  and 
affection  during  his  presidency. 
Messrs.  G.  E.  Michael,  S.  P.  Robineau, 
H.  R.  Brown  and  Chester  Wharton 
acted  as  a  committee  to  get  subscrip- 
tions from  the  student  body,  and  bef  re 
college  disbanded  for  the  holidays  had 
collected  a  sufficient  amount  to  pur- 
chase a  very  beautiful  silver  loving  cup. 
This  cup  will  have  an  appropriate 
inscription  engraved  and  will  be  for- 
warded to  Dr  Harlan.  Dr.  Boyle  is 
to  be  heartily  thanked  for  his  active 
cooperation  and  interest  in  the  matter 
and  it  is  more  or  less  due  to  him  that 
so  handsome  a  souvenir  is  to  be  pre- 
sented to  our  beloved  retiring  presi-

of  these  events.  At  four  o'clock  the 
Club  gave  a  musical  program  and  re- 
ception at  their  rooms.

DR.    BOYLE'S    BIBLE    CLASS    ENTERS   ON 
NEW  COURSE. 

Dr.  Boyle's  Bible  Class,  which  has 
been  so  increasingly  popular  as  evi- 
denced by  its  continual  growth,  enters 
upon  a  new  course  of  work  with  the 
coming  Sabbath.  It  is  to  be  a  series 
often  studies  which  will  cover  at  least 
three  of  the  Old  Testament  books, 
dealing  with  outstanding  characters, 
the  Mosaic  codes,  the  temple  service 
and  the  types.  Later  the  Apostolic 
Life  and  Teaching,  in  line  with  the 
Y.  M.  C.  A.  Study  Course,  will  be 
taken  up.  The  class  meets  in  the 
main  auditorium  of  the  church  immed- 
iately upon  the  close  of  the  regular 
Sunday  morning  service. 


L.  F.  VS.  NORTHWESTERN. 

BasKetball  at  Evanston  January  11th. 

An  excellent  schedule  has  been 
arranged  for  the  varsity,  the  first  game 
of  which  will  be  played  next  Friday 
evening  in  the  old  gym,  between 
Northwestern  and  Lake  Forest.  This 
game  promises  to  be  of  exceptional 
interest  and  will  be  given  a  good  at- 
tendance.— Northwestern.

BASKET  BALL  SEASON  OPENS  TOMORROW. 


Everybody  Out  to  Help  Win  the  First  Game. 

The  basket  ball  season  opens  to- 
morrow night  with  a  game  with  North- 
western University,  to  be  played  at 
Evanston. 

Last  year  we  defeated  Northwest- 
ern here,  and  hope  to  do  the  same  this 
year.  The  team  is  in  good  shape  now, 
and  the  team  work  is  a  hundred  per 
cent,  better  than  it  was  before  the  holi- 
days. Northwestern  also  claims  to 
have  the  best  team  that  has  represented 
her  for  some  time,  so  it  is  evident  that 
there  will  be  things  doing. 

Those  wishing  to  go  should  hand 
their  names  to  Callahan  immediately, 
so  that  arrangements  can  be  made  to 
get  seats  for  our  rooters  together. 
The  game  will  be  played  in  the  old 
gymnasium  and  will  be  called  at  eight 
o'clock.  Reserved  seats  may  be  had 
for  twenty-five  cents. 

Baseball  Practice  in  Gymnasium. 

Indoor  practice  for  baseball 
started  yesterday  and  will  be  held 
from  now  until  spring  on  Monday, 
Wednesday  and  Thursday  from  one  to 
three  o'clock. 

Only  three  monogram  men  were 
lost  last  year  and  there  seems  to  be  a 
number  of  good  fielders  among  the 
new  men  but  so  far  the  number  of 
pitchers  is  exceedingly  ^small.  It  is 
up  to  someone  to  get  busy. 


BasKetball  Schedule. 

The  basket  ball  schedule,  with  the 
exception  of  the  trip,  is  nearly  com- 
plete. The  trip  will  be  from  the  13th 
to  the  17th  of  February,  and  will  prob- 
ably include  games  with  Monmouth 
College,  Galesburg  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  Peoria 
Y.  M.  C.  A.,  and  Eureka  College. 

The  remainder  of  the  schedule  is 
as  follows: 

January  1 1 — Northwestern  University  at  Evan- 
ston. 
January  18 — Lewis  Institute — Here. 
January  26 — Wheaton  College  at  Wheaton. 
February  1 — Open — Will  be  played  here. 
February  2 — Northwestern  College  at  Naper- 

ville. 
February  8 — Wheaton  College — Here. 
February  13-17 — Trip. 
March  1 — Open — Will  be  played  here. 
March  9 — Northwestern  College — Here. 

GYMNASIUM  CLASS  AT  WORK. 


TracK  Men  Expected  to  Attend. 

Gymnasium  work  under  the  direc- 
tion of  Mr.  Bradstreet  was  begun  last 
Monday,  and  Captain  Talcott  wishes 
all  candidates  for  the  track  team  to 
attend  regularly.  The  work  is  carried 
on  systematically  and  is  guaranteed  to 
remove  all  soft  spots  in  two  weeks.  To 
add  interest  the  class  is  to  be  divided 
into  squads.  Each  squad  will  have  a 
captain,  and  there  will  be  a  series  of 
basket  ball  games  and  relay  races. 
There  is  a  tendency  now   among   the

•men  to  get  too  little  exercise.  This 
work  will  not  only  keep  a  man  in  ex- 
cellent condition,  but  will  add  greatly 
to  his  endurance,  and  for  this  reason  is 
invaluable  to  track  men.  Later  in  the 
season  it  will  prove  a  decided  advan- 
tage to  contestants  in  the  indoor  meets.

CHRISTMAS  VESPER  SERVICE. 

The  Vesper  Service  of  the  last 
Sunday  before  the  holidays  was  given 
over  largely  to  the  singing  of  Christ- 
mas songs  and  carols.  The  singing 
was  led  by  a  double  quartette,  which 
in  addition  rendered  two  special  num- 
bers. The  Misses  Cutler  and  Nesbit 
sang  the  duett,  "He  Shall  Feed  His 
Flock"  from  "The  Messiah."  In  place 
of  the  regular  address  Mr.  Lewis  read 
a  "Christmas  Message"  from  the 
Outlook.

bers of  the  Faculty,  and  Trustees  as 
possible.  The  following  officers  were 
elected  for  the  current  year. 

President,  Clifford  H.   Williams. 

Vice-president,  Ned   Pratt.

Welcome, 
1907! 

Although  the  season  for  New 
Year's  greetings  is  almost  spent,  we 
cannot  refrain  from  wishing  our  read- 
ers a  Happy  New  Year! — and  may  it 
be  happy  in  the  truest  sense  of  the 
word. 

But  what  we  most  desire  is  that 
this  year  of  promise,  of  opportunity, 
for  our  Alma  Mater,  may  prove  the 
most  prosperous  that  she  has  known  ! 
Though  the  year  which  has  just  closed 
has,  in  some  ways,  been  disappointing, 
nevertheless  it  has  brought  the  College 
to  the  very  threshold  of  her  land  of 
promise.  The  first  of  the  Blackstone 
dormitories  is  well  on  the  way  toward 


completion;  the  other  dormitory,  the 
Durand  Commons,  and  the  Carnegie 
Science  Hall  are  just  waiting  to  be 
built,  dependent  only  on  the  raising  of 
a  meager  fifty  thousand  dollar  endow- 
ment— it  seems  meager  indeed,  when 
we  hear  almost  daily  of  the  large  sums 
given  to  our  sister  institutions.  Al- 
though that  endowment  seems  slow  in 
making  its  appearance,  we  are  confi- 
dent that  it  will  be  forthcoming. 

As  to  the  selection  of  a  new  presi- 
dent we  know  only  that  several  men 
are  under  consideration  by  the  Board 
and  that  that  body  is  making  every 
effort  to  secure  a  man  in  whose  hands 
the  future  of  the  college  may  safely 
rest.  A  very  strong  man  is  needed — 
shall  we  have  him? 

With  these  new  buildings  and 
with  a  strong  president  at  her  head, 
the  destiny  of  Lake  Forest  College  as 
one  of  the  strongest  colleges  of  the 
west,  is  assured! 

CHRISTMAS    MUSICALE    GIVEN    BY    LOIS 
HALL  GLEE  CLUB. 

On  Tuesday  evening  before  the 
holidays  the  Lois  Hall  Glee  Club  gave 
its  annual  Christmas  musicale.  The 
program  was  well  arranged,  and  every 
number  was  well  rendered.  The  num- 
bers most  keenly  enjoyed  were  per- 
haps Godard's  "Bercense"  sung  by 
Miss  Nesbit;  the  second  of  Miss  Ryon's 
readings;  Denza's  "She  Sleeps,"  by 
Miss  Cutler  and  the  Glee  Club;  and 
Palicot's  "The  Moth's".  Conant's 
"Under  a  Toadstool,"  and  Elgar's  "The 
Snow."  This  latter.Elgar's  "The  Snow," 
was  without  doubt  the  finest  thing  on 
the  program.  Both  the  Glee  Club  and 
their  leader,  Mrs.  Thomas,  may  well 
pride  themselves  upon  the  success  of 
this  concert. 


There  is  to  be  a  Yale- Harvard  de- 
bate in  French. — Ex.

CHRISTMAS  FEED  AT  COMMONS. 

As  usual,  Mother  Harper  gave  the 
boys  a  big  turkey  dinner  on  the  night 
before  they  left  for  their  vacations. 
Now  the  most  difficult  thing  that  we 
have  yet  encountered  in  our  efforts  at 
plying  the  pen  seems  to  be  the  proper 
description  of  a  "good  big  feed."  We 
won't  therefore  attempt  it.  A  long 
drawn  out  oom-yum,  yum,  yum  accom- 
panied with  a  roll  of  the  eyes  and  a 
circular  patting  of  the  abdomen  would 
pantomime  the  desired  sensation  as 
well  as  anything  we  can  think  of. 
Mrs.  Harper  let  out  for  us  the  best 
wrinkles  she  had  in  her  culinary 
repertoire  and  kept  the  bunch  busy 
gourmandizing  every  inch  of  the  way 
from  the  consomme  to  the  finger 
bowls.  Champion  Eater  Jones  this 
time  weighed  in  at  165  and  left  6 
pounds  to  the  good.  Professor  Bur- 
nap  refused  to  commit  himself — "I 
have  a  pretty  good  cook  at  home  my- 
self and  you  know  there  is  such  a 
thing  as  professional  jealousy." 

After  the  dinner  the  football 
monograms  were  presented  by  Pro- 
fessor Burnap,  the  president  of  the 
Athletic  Board,  to  the  members  of  the 
'06  football  team. 

After  a  good  singfest  and  a  heart- 
felt "Alma  Mater"  the  Epicureans 
dispersed  better  prepared  to  enjoy 
their  holidays. 


Delegates  from  the  universities  of 
the  middle  west  to  the  annual  conven- 
tion of  the  central  division  of  the  Mod- 
ern Language  Association  of  America 
held  at  the  University  of  Chicago  De- 
cember 28th,  adopted  unanimously  the 
simplified  spelling  code. 


THE  PRESENTATION  OF  "THE  MESSIAH." 
A  SUCCESS. 

The  presentation  of  "The  Messi  ah" 
by  a  chorus  of  students  from  the  (Col- 
lege and  Ferry  Hall,  assisted  by  a|solo 
quartette,  on  the  Friday  evening 
before  the  Christmas  holidays,  was  a 
decided  success.  Despite  the  fact  that 
the  students  had  never  before  taken 
part  together  in  anything  similar,  and 
of  the  fewness  of  rehearsals,  through 
the  efforts  of  the  leader,  Miss  Flem- 
ming,  some  excellent  chorus  work  was 
accomplished.  It  is  hoped  that  this 
may  not  be  the  last  of  such  efforts. 

At  the  close  of  the  oratorio,  those 
who  took  part  in  its  presentation,  upon 
Dr.  Boyle's  invitation,  repaired  to  the 
Manse,  where  they  spent  a  very  pleas- 
ant hour  and  a  half  felicitating  them- 
selves and  enjoying  the  relaxation 
after  the  strain  of  the  evening's  con- 
cert.

trance examinations  in  English  I 
should  erase  every  list  of  books  that

wholly  to  the  authorized  version  of 
the  Bible." — Maroon.

University  reach  a  total  of  $19, 534,056 
since  1889  when  his  first  donation  was 
given.  A  special  appropriation  of 
$40,000  was  made  in  the  gift  to  pro- 
vide^ permanent  increase  in  the  salaries 
of  instructois.  Two.  and  possibly 
three  new  dormitories  for  women  are 
to  be  erected  within  the  next  few 
months.  They  are  to  be  built  in  the 
quadrangle  facing  the  Midway  Plais- 
sance  between  Lexington  and  Kim-'

$200,000  to  $300,000." 

Professor  Starr  Has  Returned. 

Proiessor  Frederick  Starr,  who  has 
been  away  from  Chicago  for  a  year  and 
a  half  on  an  extended  trip  of  explora- 
tion through  the  Congo  FTee  State, 
has  returned. 

The  object  of  Professor  Starr's 
expedition  was  the  study  of  the  pigmy 
races  of  the  Congo. 

The  facts  gathered  in  this  expedi- 
tion will  be  used  as  a  basis  for  impor- 
tant scientific  investigations.  A  course 
on  "The  People  of  the  Congo  Free 
State"  is  offered  by  Professor  Starr 
this  quarter,  and  is  arousing  considera- 
ble interest  in  the  University,  with  a 
registration  of  about  fifty  students. 

Professor  Starr  collected  a  great 
number  of  specimens,  and  will  have  a 
large  number  of  photographs  of  the 
people  he  studied. 

A  distance  of  more  than  20,000 
miles  was  traveled  by  Professor  Starr 
in  his  researches.  Only  one  other 
white  man,  Professor  Wolf,  an  agent  of 
the  Louisiana  Purchase  Exposition, 
had   ever    penetrated    as    far    into   the 


Oiku  River  territory  as  did  Profossor 
Starr  in  this  expedition.  Accompa- 
nied only  by  Manuel  Gonzales,  a 
Mexican  boy,  Professor  Starr  visited 
twenty-eight  different  tribes  of  people- 
His  investigations  among  these  little- 
known  people  are  expected  to  furnish 
a  valuable  addition  to  the  science  of 
ethnology. — Daily  Maroon.

New  Rules  at  Yale. 

At  a  joint  meeting  of  the  Faculty 
and  Student  Committee  at  Yale  new- 
campus  rules  were  adopted.  Students 
are  now  forbidden  to  throw  snowballs 
in  the  College  buildings  or  yards  or  to 
smoke  upon  the  steps  or  in  the  entries 
of  the  public  buildings.  The  playing 
of  football  or  any  form  of  scrimmage 
game  is  forbidden  on  the  College  cam- 
pus, but  the  Senior  baseball  game — 
played  with  a  tennis  ball  and  bat — will 
be  allowed  during  recreation  hours. —

Minnesota  to  Have  SKating  RinK. 

Minnesota  has  decided  to  flood 
Northrop  field,  her  new  athlectic 
ground.  The  Athletic  Board  of  Con- 
trol of  the  University  received  at  their 
meeting  Monday  a  petition  signed  by 
over  two  hundred  students  asking  that 
such  action  be  taken.  As  a  result  the 
board  voted  to  have  the  field  prepared 
for  flooding  at  once.  Plans  are  now 
being  perfected  for  inter-fraternity 
hockey,  to  be  played  on  the  new  rink.

Does  an  Education  Pay  ? 

The  average  educated  man  gets  a 
salary  of  $1,000  a  year.  He  works 
forty  years,  making  a  total  of  $40,000 
in  a  lifetime.  The  average  day  laborer 
gets  $1.50  a  day,  300  days  in  a  year. 
In  forty  years  he  earns  $18,000.  The 
difference,  or  $22,000,  equals  the  value 
of  an  education.  To  acquire  this  earn- 
ing capacity  requires  twelve  years  at 
school,  of  189  days  each,  or  2,160  days. 
Dividing  $22,000,  the  value  of  an  edu- 
cation, by  2,160,  the  number  of  days 
required  in  getting  it,  we  find  that  each 
day  at  school  is  worth  a  little  more  tnan 
$10  to  a  pupil.  Can't  afford  to  lose  a 
day,  can  we? — Ex. 

Yale  vs.  Chicago  Football  Possibility  of  1907 

The  Northwestern  cites  the  fol- 
lowing account  from  the  Daily  Maroon 
in  the  belief  that  it  relates  to  a  matter 
of  general  interest: — 

The  possibility  of  an  eastern  game 
for  Chicago  has  now  changed  the  as- 
pect of  the  football  situation  as  far  as 
the  1907  schedule  is  concerned.  Ac- 
cording to  press  dispatches  from  New 
Haven,  Yale  may  give  Chicago  the 
place  on  its  schedule  which  Harvard 
has  long  held  in  case  the  Crimson  fol- 
lows out  President  Eliot's  suggestions 
and  decides  to  get  along  without  foot- 
ball. 

What   Chicago    ThinKs. 

Chicago  would  strongly  favor  a 
game  with  Yale.  The  news  that 
Yale's  attitude  is  favorable  was  the 
cause  for  jubilation  on  the  campus 
yesterday.  The  students  and  alumni 
would  favor  such  a  game,  almost  to  a 
man,  and  it  is  known  that  the  "Old 
Man"  has  long  wanted  a  test  of  strength 
with  his  alma  mater.  The  Chicago 
schedule  is  as  yet  in  indefinite  shape, 
the  Minnesota  game  on  November  2 
being  the   only  date    scheduled.       The 


Yale- Harvard  game  usually    is    played 
the  Saturday  before  Thanksgiving. 

Yale  Defeats  Oberlin  34  to  28. 

Oberlin  lost  the  first  game  of  its- 
basketball  season  to  Yale  Wednesday,, 
the  score  standing  34  to  28.  Yale  was 
only  two  points  in  the  lead  ai  the  end 
of  the  first  half.  In  the  second  half 
Oberlin  gained  a  lead  until  Yale,  by 
making  three  baskets  in  succession,, 
took  the  lead  and  kept  it.

PROFESSOR   OF  PHILOSOPHY 

LAKE    FOREST    COLLEGE 

January.  1890  June,  1904 


Resolved,  That  the  Secretary  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  be 
instructed  to  make  expression  of  their  appreciation  of  the 
high  character  of  Dr.  Walter  Smith  and  of  the  worthy  ser- 
vice rendered  by  him  to  Lake  Forest  College,  and  to  express 
their  profound  sorrow  in  view  of  his  death  and  to  assure  his 
wife  and  family  of  their  sincere  sympathy.

Professor  Smith:  An  Appreciation 


Lake  Forest,  Jan.  14,  1907. 
My  Dear  Mrs.  Smith: 

The  Faculty  wishes  to  express  to 
you  and  to  your  family  their  sympathy 
with  you  in  the  great  loss  you  have 
sustained.     It  is  our  loss  too. 

Dr.  Smith  was  very  dear  to  us. 
We  gratefully  recall  his  long  term  of 
distinguished  service  to  the  College. 
We  will  never  forget  his  unselfish 
nature,  his  scholarly  attainments  and 
broad  culture,  and  his  noble  nature 
What  a  deep  interest  he  took  in  every- 
thing helpful  to  human  life!  How 
generous  his  sympathy  with  all  aspira- 
tion toward  physical,  intellectual,  and 
spiritual  attainment!  In  his  grasp  of 
educational  problems  he  was  very 
searching,  and  his  whole  outlook  on 
life  and  its  larger  meaning  and  possi- 
bilities was  broad  and  comprehensive. 
We  remember  his  gentleness  and 
generosity  with  a  sincere  desire  to 
emulate  them.  The  pervasive  influ- 
ence of  his  gracious  personality,  his 
accurate  scholarship,  his  charming 
manner  were  wondrously  helpful  to 
all  of  us,  his  colleagues,  to  the  student 
body,  and  to  the  community.  In  a 
word,  Dr.  Smith  was  loved  by  us  for 
what  he  did,  but  even  more,  for  what 
he  was  as  scholar,  teacher,  counsellor, 
friend — as  Christian  gentleman. 

With  profoundest  sympathy  and 
respect,  for  the  Faculty, 

JOHN  J.  HALSEY,  President. 
Malcolm  McNeill,  Secretary. 


'Walter  Smith  was  the  best  man  I 
ever  knew,"  was  the  quiet  comment  of 
one  of  his  colleagues  a  few  hours  after 
the  news  of  his  death  reached  us. 
The  loss  of  such  store  of  worth  has 
left  us  poor,  but  to  all  who  knew    him, 


family,  colleagues,  pupils,  friends,  his 
memory  remains  a  benediction.  He 
being  dead,  yet  speaketh. 

For  two  or  three  years  he  has 
been  away  from  Lake  Forest,  but  his 
heart  was  still  here,  for  to  Lake 
Forest  College  his  prime  was  devoted, 
and  it  is  fitting  therefore  that  THE 
STENTOR  should  .take  a  simple  account 
of  his  life. 

Mr.  Smith  was  a  reticent  man,  and 
seldom  spoke  about  himself  even  to 
his  intimates.  But  the  salient  facts  of 
his  life  are,  approximately,  as  follows. 
His  mother  was  of  French  extraction, 
bringing  the  family  name  Lorrain,  his 
father  was  a  Scotch  clergyman  of  dis- 
tinction, who  served  important  parishes 
especially  one  at  Liverpool,  until  the 
breaking  down  of  his  health  obliged 
him  to  return  to  Scotland  to  a  smaller 
charge  at  Hulf-Morton  in  Dumfries- 
shire, and  here  was  the  home  from 
which  his  children  went  out  into  the 
world.  The  home  was  one  of  piety 
and  culture,  of  amity  and  good 
Scotch  wit.  The  best  proof  of  this  is 
the  character  and  intellectual  power  of 
its  sons  and  daughters.  Of  the  five 
sons,  one,  Joseph,  is  now  an  actuary  in 
Australia;  another,  James  Lorrain,  is  a 
distinguished  physician,  formerly  a 
professor  in  Belfast  University  and 
now  professor  of  Pathology  in 
the  University  of  Manchester;  the 
third,  William,  for  some  years  professor 
in  Smith  College  at  Northampton, 
Mass.,  is  now  professor  of  Experiment- 
al Psychology  at  Edinburgh  University; 
while  the  eldest  son  went  as  a  medical 
missionary  to  South  Africa  and  died 
there  some  fifteen  years  ago.  Of  the 
three  daughters,  one  died  a  few  years 
since  in  Australia;  a  second,   Margaret,

In  Memoriam. 

"A  great  life  has  passed  away." 
It  is  such  a  life  as  that  of  Dr.  Smith — 
great  in  its  simplicity  and  in  its  quiet- 
ness— that  we  miss  most.  But  few  of 
those  who  are  now  in  the  College  have 
had  the  privilege  of  knowing  him 
and  those  few  not  intimately,  yet 
we  have  all  known  and  felt  the  quiet 
influence  which  he  has  exerted,  and 
will  continue  to  exert  upon  the  for- 
tunes of  the  institution  which  is  dear 
to  us  all. 

We  cannot  but  express,  too,  our 
sympathy  with  that  one  of  our  own 
number  who  lost  in  Dr.  Smith,  a  kind 
and  loving  father. 


A  Period  of 
Literary  Activity. 

We  have  just  entered  that  period 
of  the  college  year  which  should  be,, 
and  usually  is  the  period  of  greatest 
literary  activity.  The  fall  athletics  are 
over  and  the  spring  with  all  its  distrac- 
tions, is  not  here  to  allure  us  to  pleas- 
anter  pursuits.  These  few  winter 
months  present  to  us  the  opportunity 
for  some  serious  work  along  literary- 
lines. 

The  Dramatic  Club  is  and  has  been; 
for  some  time  hard  at  work.  The  in- 
ter-society debating  teams  were  chosen 
last  Monday  night  and  both  teams  are 
putting  all  their  energy  into  the  win- 
ning of  that  debate.  The  freshman 
team  which  is  to  meet  the  freshmen  of 
Beloit  in  debate  is  shortly  to  be  chos- 
en. And  the  Oratorical  Contest  has 
been  set  for  the  latter  part  of  Febru- 
ary. 

The  first  two  activities  have  al- 
ready been  limited  to  a  certain  number 
of  students.  The  number  of  men  in 
the  race  for  the  Freshman  Debate  has 
been  narrowed  down  somewhat.  But 
there  is  still  a  two-fold  opportunity  for 
this  kind  of  work  afforded  every  stu- 
dent, by  the  Literary  Societies  and  the 
Oratorical  Contest.  If  you  have  not 
been  so  fortunate  as  to  become  a 
member  of  the  Garrick  Club  or  of  one 
of  the  debating  teams,  enter  into  your 
Literary  Society  work  with  the  greater 
vim  or  seek  a  place  in  the  Oratorical 
Contest. 

The  Oratorical  Contest  needs  the 
especial  attention  of  the  students.  Our 
debating  teams  for  the  past  few  years 
have  been  for  the  most  part  winning 
teams.  In  other  words  our  interest  in, 
and  our  standard  of  debating,  has  been 
excellent.  But  we  cannot  speak  so 
highly  of  our  interest  in  oratory.  In 
our    three    years'    relations    with   the

we  have  not  carried  away  a  single  first

It  is  up  to  you  to  change  that  record 
this  year! 

MR.       BETTEN      SUCCEEDS      PROFESSOR 

NEEDHAM—  B.G.  SMITH,  OF  MICHIGAN. 

ASSISTANT. 

The  following  statement  was  given 
out  a  few  days  ago  by  President  Hal- 
sey: 

"The  Board  of  Trustees  at  a  meet- 
ing last  Friday  granted  the  request  of 
the  Faculty  with  reference  to  the  suc- 
cession to  Dr.  Needham  when  he 
leaves  us.  Mr.  Cornelius  Betten  was 
appointed  to  take  charge  of  this  work 
for  the  second  semester,  with  the  title 
of  Assistant  Professor,  and  the  Instruc- 
tor in  Biology  to  succeed  Mr.  Betten 
was  also  appointed,  Mr.  B.  G.  Smith, 
of  the  University  of  Michigan." 

Mr.  Betten's  worthy  services  in 
the  past  two  years  have  proved  him 
eminently  capable  of  taking  up  the 
work  which  Professor  Needham  leaves 
off  at  the  end  of  this  semester.  Pro- 
fessor Needham  is  to  have  charge  of 
the  Chair  of  Limnology  under  the  De- 
partment of  Entomology  and  Inverte- 
brate Zoology.  The  loss  of  Professor 
Needham  will  be  keenly  felt  by  the 
students.  He  has  been  held  in  their 
highest  admiration,  not  only  for  his 
high  ability  as  a  teacher,  but  for  his 
qualities  as  a  man  and  as  a  friend. 

Mr.  Bertram  G.  Smith,  who  is  to 
assist  Mr.  Betten,  comes  to  us  from 
the  University  of  Michigan,  where  he 
has  served  for  the  past  two  years  as 
Assistant  and  in  the  Department  of 
Zoology.  His  specialty  is  Amphian 
Embryology. 


GARRICK  CLUB 

The  date  of  the  presentation  of 
"An  American  Citizen"  by  the  Gar- 
rick  Club  has  been  changed  from  Fri- 
day, January  25th  to  Saturday,  January 
26th. 

The  sale  of  reserved  seats  will  be 
opened  at  the  College  Book  Store 
next  Monday  a.  m.  and  will  continue 
there  until  Tuesday  p.  m.,  when  the 
sale  will  be  continued  at  French's 
Drug  Store. 

The  cast  is  rapidly  being  rounded 
into  perfection  under  the  assiduous 
direction  of  Professor  Clapp  and,  from 
the  quality  of  their  performance  during 
the  rehearsals  we  may  look  forward  to 
one  of  the  best  productions  ever 
given  us  by  the  Club. 

The  price  of  admission  is  to  be 
50  cents  for  college  students  and  7$ 
cents  for  others.  All  seats  will  be  re- 
served. 


WHITNEY     BROTHERS    QUARTETTE    AT 
ART  INSTITUTE. 

On  Saturday  evening  the  Young 
Men's  Club  will  give  its  second  enter- 
tainment in  the  Art  Institute.  The 
Whitney  Brothers  Quartette  will 
render  a  unique  musical  program 
varied  by  readings. 

The  Quartette  not  only  comes 
with  the  highest  recommendations  but 
also,  the  quality  of  its  work  is  very  in- 
timately known  by  those  who  were  in- 
strumental in  securing  its  services. 

This  concert  should  gain  the 
hearty  support  of  the  students  of  the 
College.  A  good  attendance  on  their 
part  will  not  only  lend  encouragement 
to  the  work  of  the  Young  Men's  Club, 
but  it  will  afford  them  an  evening  of 
great  pleasure.  The  price  for  students 
is  twenty-five  cents. 


Miss  May  Rogers,  '99,  was  here 
last  Sunday  with  Mr.  and  Mrs.

The  total  number  of  American

game  was  fast  and  rather  rough  but 
was  well  played  and  the  work  of  our 
men  was  a  surprise  even  to  the  most 
optimistic  rooters.  Northwestern  had 
the  advantage  in  height  and  weight  but 
was  outclassed  both  in  team  work  and 
basket  throwing.  Lake  Forest's  weak 
point  was  the  inability  to  make  free 
throws.  Thirteen  out  of  seventeen 
chances  were  missed.  This,  however, 
may  easily  be  remedied  by  a  little 
practice.  Swift  starred  in  this*  depart- 
ment, making  eight  points  for  North- 
western out  of  ten  trials.  He  also 
threw  the  only  field  goal  scored  by 
his  side  during  the  entire  game.  There 
was  no  particular  star  for  Lake  Forest. 
Each  man  played  his  position  and 
worked  well  with  the  others.  It  was 
the  first  appearance  on    the   first    team 


of     the      men,      Callahan,      '08,    and 
Mather  and  Stoltz,  '10. 

As  the  men  have  had  only  about 
three  weeks  practice  the  prospects, 
which  were  good  before  seem  still 
brighter  for  success  throughout  the 
season.

Excellent  Opportunity  for   Cross    Conntry 
Running 

Mr.  Crawford  who  has  been  lead- 
ing the  cross  country  runs  held  by  the 
Academy  has  invited  the  men  of  the 
College  to  join  the  squad.  Mr.  Craw- 
ford is  an  authority  on  running  and 
this  is  too  good  an  offer  to  be  over- 
looked by  track  men. 

Runs  start  from  the  Academy  at 
four-fifteen  on  Monday,  Wednesday 
and  Thursday.  All  those  attending 
regularly  will  receive  gymnasium 
credits  for  their  work.

To  the  gentleman  in    distress    on    the 
Ferry  Hall  campus  at  10: 10   p.    m, 
Saturday  evening,  January  12. 
My  dear  Sir: 

You  really  fooled  us.  We  had 
just  settled  down  to  sleep  when  your 
piercing  cries  for  help  swept  the  cob- 
webs from  our  brains  and  sent  us 
chattering  into  the  halls.  We  were 
brave  and  demanded  that  John  and 
the  lantern  go  to  your  rescue  at  once. 
(We  stayed  indoors  to  tear  bandages.). 
We  remembered  that  man  in  our  town 
who  was  held  up  by  brigands,  and 
that  other  man  in  the  next  town  who 
was  eaten  by  a  lion.  We  didn't  hear 
any  roaring  so  we  settled  down  to  the 
robber  theory.  Our  corridor  teachers 
tried  in  vain  to  calm  us.  "Bed  indeed!" 
we  shrieked,  "and  one  in  mortal  terror! 
Never!"     And  perhaps  we  thought   of

i3F 


the  porches  and  our  windows  and  per- 
haps we  didn't. 

Then — you  must  excuse  us  for 
laughing  at  you — then  you  whistled. 
Fatal  mistake!  We  pitied  you  no 
longer.  We  wouldn't  have  rescued 
you  from  an  escaped  circus  at  that 
moment.  We  told  our  roommate  that 
we  knew  it  was  a  fake  all  the  time. 
And  we  struck  you  from  our  calling 
list.  Did  you  ever  hear  of  the  little 
boy  who  called  "wolf"  once  too  often? 
Coldly  yours, 

A  Victim. 


THE  PATTERSON  PARTY. 

Miss  Katherine  Patterson,  ex-'o8, 
tendered  a  party  to  her  many  friends 
among  the  college  students.  It  was 
held  last  Saturday  evening  at  the 
Deerpath  Inn.  The  following  college 
students  attended: 

Misses:  C.  Bockhoff,  M.  Bock- 
hoff,  McCandless,  Hendy,  A.  Ryon, 
C.  Ryon,  Davis,  Steele,  Cutler,  Mc- 
Kown,  E.  Hall,  Wilkins. 

Messrs.:  Frazer,  Ferguson, 
Hoopes,  Hall,  Farr,  Keithley,  Harris, 
Michael,  Sommers,  Robineau,  Zimmer- 
man, Shroyer,  Munger,  Palmer, 
Westervelt,  Talcott  and  McCrea,  and 
Simons  of  the  Academy. 

The  dancing  was  held  in  the  Inn 
Dining  Hall  which  looked  very  attrac- 
tive in  gala  decorations.  A  most  de- 
lightful time  was  reported  to  have 
been  experienced  by  all  those  who  at- 
tended. 


"If  I  were  called  upon  to  name  the

ACADEMY 

The  Academy  will  send  a  team  to 
the  First  Regiment  meet  in  Chicago 
February  23rd. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Lewis  entertained 
the  students  at  the  rooms  in  Durand

Next  Monday  morning  Professor

students  at  chapel. 

Remember  the  date  of  the  North- 
western-Lake Forest  debate,  January 
25th,  at  eight  o'clock  in  the  Academy 
chapel. 

The  six  men  who  will  make  up 
Lake  Forest's  debate  teams  are  Peter- 
son, Bradstreet,  Upton,  Smith,  Simons- 
and  Gordon. 

Before  a  crowd  which  filled  every 
available  inch  of  space  in  the  gymnas- 
ium, the  Academy  basket  ball  team 
Saturday  afternoon  opened  the  season 
by  defeating  Armour  46  to  18.  The 
team  showed  surprisingly  good  form,, 
the  team  work  and  long  passing  being 
of  the  first  order.  While  the  work  of 
every  man  on  the  team  was  good,  that 
of  Captain  Hotchkin  and  Tavlor  de- 
serves special  mention,  the  former  in 
working  the  ball  down  the  field  and 
the  latter  in  his  great  basket  throwing. 
He  has  no  less  than  fourteen  baskets- 
to  his  credit.  Smith  showed  up  strong 
on  throwing  fouls.  The  team  plays  at 
Highland  Park  next  Saturday  and 
the  following  week  meets  Northwest- 
ern Academy  here.

DR.  SMITH'S  FUNERAL. 

The  funeral  services  were  very  fit- 
tingly held  in  the  Reid  Memorial  Cha- 
pel, an  edifice,  in  the  erection  and 
dedication  of  which  Dr.  Smith  had 
taken  great  interest. 

By  three  o'clock  on  Monday  after- 
noon a  large  company  had  gathered 
in  the  Chapel  to  do  him  honor.  The 
services  were  simple,  yet  very  impres- 
sive. Dr.  McClurewho  had  long  been 
associated  with  Dr.  Smith  both  in  his 
capacity  as  President  of  Lake  For- 
est College  and  as  a  friend,  conducted 
the  services,  Mr.  Gruenstein,  of  the 
Presbyterian  church,  and  Mr.  Arthur 
H.  Ranous,  of  the  Episcopal  church, 
taking  charge  of  the  music. 

Dr.  McClure's  very  simple  and 
brief  address  was  somewhat  as  follows: 

Though   he    was   born    across    the 


waters  and  though  his  kindred  are 
there,  yet  it  was  here  that  he  reaped 
the  fruition  of  his  work — here  are  his 
friends! 

He  was  a  man  of  great  loyalty. 
He  gave  his  highest  devotion  to  his 
labors,  his  friendships,  and  especially 
to  this  institution.  He  magnified  the 
work  to  which  God  had  committed 
him.         *  He  was  a  man 

of  quiet  humor,  of  penetrating  intel- 
lect, of  broad  culture  and  of  great  re- 
source. His  will  was  strong  and  ro- 
bust, and  yet  he  was  characterized  by 
great  tenderness,  humility  and  deli- 
cacy of  nature.  He 
continued  to  grow  in  the  Christian  life. 
Despite  the  at  tacks  on  the  basic 
elements  of  Christianity  with  which 
he  met,  he  developed  in  sweet  faith 
in  God.  *  *  *  From  such  a 
life  we  get  new  faith,  new  hope  and 
courage  for  the  race  we  must  run.

An    American   Citizen 


Art  Institute,  Saturday  Evening 


The  Garrick  Club  will  present  its 
annual  play  Saturday  night.  "The 
American  Citizen"  is  a  thoroughly  pro- 
fessional play  and  the  management  of 
the  Club  went  to  no  little  trouble  and 
expense  in  trying  to  obtain  the  con- 
sent of  the  playwright  to  present  it 
with  an  amateur  cast.  However  the 
prospective  audience  need  have  no  fear 
of  the  manner  in  which  the  Club  will 
handle  Nat  C.  Goodwin's  pet  play. 
Under  the  careful  and  thorough  direc- 
tion of  Prof.  Clapp  the  members  have 
mastered  the  intricacies  of  the  dialogue 
and  action  that  were  Nat  Goodwin  and 
his  clever  charming  wife,  Maxine  El- 
liot, among  the  audience  Saturday 
night,  they  would  well  "sit  up  and  take 
notice"  and  marvel  at  the  remarkable 
talent  of  Mr.  Munger  and    Miss  Cutler. 

The  play  itself  is  an  exceptional 
one.  Although  in  toto  a  comedy,  it 
affords  opportunity  for  the  display  of 
nearly  all  the  emotions  from  anger  to 
laughter.  Its  comedy  is  most  efferves- 
cent, light,  clean,  spontaneous  and 
without  the  ridiculousness   of  farce. 

Its  serious  strains  are  quick  to 
arouse  the  interest  and  sympathies 
without  leaving  the  usual  "lourdeur" 
which  generally  follows.     The   plot   in 


fact  never  loses  its  all   absorbing    hold 
on  the  audience. 

Altogether  it  will  be  well  worth 
while  to  put  off  whatever  other  ar- 
rangements might  have  been  made  and 
come  to  the  best  show  that  has  ever 
been  produced  in  Lake  Forest  by  the 
College  Dramatic  Club. 

The  seats  are  now  on  sale  at 
French's  Drug  Store.  They  are  all 
reserved  but  it  will  pay  to  order  early 
lest  the  best  ones  be  all  sold.  The 
management  is  having  a  "standing 
room  only"  sign  painted. 

Don't  forget!  !  Saturday  evening, 
Jan.  26,  '07.  "An  American  Citizen."

ACADEMY      DEBATES      NORTH-WESTERN

The  Lake  Forest  Academy  debat- 
ing team  will  meet  the  team  from 
Northwestern  Academy  tomorrow 
evening  at  Reid  Hall,  in  debate  on  the 
question  Resolved,  That  the  United 
States  Should  Adopt  the  Canadian 
Banking  System."  Lake  Forest  sup- 
ports the  affirmative.  It  is  hoped  that 
the  College  will  be  well  represented  in 
the  audience.

THE   WHITNEY    BROTHERS    QUARTETTE 

Despite  the  inclemency  of  the 
weather  last  Saturday  evening,  a  fair 
sized  audience  gathered  to  hear  the 
program  rendered  by  the  Whitney 
Brothers  Quartette,  under  the  auspices 
of  the  Young  Mens' Club  of   this    city. 

The  following  was  the  program 
given: 

Sailing  -  -  Jas.    H.    Rogers 

Quartette 

Reading,    Ashes  of  Old  Wishes  '  -   Templeton 
Edwin   M.  Whitney 

Morning  in  the  Dewy  Wood        -         F.  Hegar 
Tenor  Solo,  Once  -  Arthur    Hurvey 

Reading,  A  Besetting  Sin,   Edwin  Vance  Cook 

Edwin  M.   Whitney 
What  Care  I  How  Fair  She  Be?      Blumenthal 
Bass  Solo,  Bedouin  Love  Song        -         Pinsuti 

Yale  B,  Whitney 
Three  Folk  Songs     Arranged  for  Male  Voices 

a.  How  Can  I  Leave  Thee    -    Old  German 

b.  Santa  Lucia  -  Italian 

c.  Oft     in    the    Stilly    Night  -  Irish 
Readiug,  A  March  Meeting         -          Robinson 

Edwin   M.  Whitney- 
Grace  Be  Unto  You         -         -  Trowbridge 
Quartette 

The  Quartet  itself  was  excellent 
in  every  way.  The  voices  were  good, 
they  blended  perfectly,  and  nice  dis- 
crimination in  the  manner  of  present- 
ing the  songs  was  shown.  The  solo 
voices,  tenor  and  bass,  were  good,  the 
bass  being  exceptionally  good.  But 
the  very  best  part  of  the  program,  was 
the  readings,  given  by  Mr.  Edwin  M. 
Whitney.  Some  of  his  selections,  es- 
pecially the  "Ashes  of  Old  Wishes," 
were  very  difficult;  but  he  rendered 
them  with  as  much  ease  and  artistic 
finish  as  he  did  the  simpler  ones. 
The  Young  Men's  Club  is  to  be  con- 
gratulated upon  the  success  of  the 
second  number  of  its  Entertainment 
Course. 


"J"  PROM  AND  FLOWERS. 

To  buy  or  not  to    buy, — that   is   the 
question: — 

Whether    'twere    nobler    for    me    to 

purchase 
My  girl    a    twenty   dollar    bunch    of 

flowers, 
Or   to    revolt   against    a   Lois    Hall 

tradition, 
And  thus  be  queered,    and    come  to 

open  house 
No  more; — and  by  so  doing  would  I 

end 
The     heartaches    and    the    thousand 

natural  knocks 
That  I'd  fall  heir    to?       But    'tis    not 

just  the 
Extinction    that    I'd    wish!     To    quit 

the  Hall 
And  there  ne'er  more  to  dance.   Aye 

there's  the  rub; 
For  in  my  exile  from   the   Hall  what 

"bids" 
Might  come  must  give  me  pause,  and 

make  me  spend 
My  next  semester's  check,  and  keep 

dear  Bush 
Upon  the  jump,  so  that  my  girl  may 

go 
In  style,  resplendent  to  outshine  the 

others. 
For  who  would  bear  the    whips  and 

scorns  of  girls 
And  Lois   Hall  girls   at    that.       And 

could  I  bear 
To  have  her  lift   her    nose    when    I'd 

pass  by, 
Oh  no,  not  thus  shall   I    my    quietus 

make 
But     rather    shall    I  fardels  bear,  to 

grunt 
And  sweat,  and  lie  to  Bush  about  my 

bills. 
Man's  dread  of   woman's   tongue    is 

natural 
And  makes  me  rather  break  my   roll 

than  take

LAKE  FOREST  38,     LEWIS  IHSTITUTE  21. 


Team  Wins  First  Home  Game 

Lake  Forest  played  the  first  home 
game  of  the  basket  ball  season  last 
Friday  night  against  Lewis  Institute 
and  won  easily  by  the  score  of  thirty- 
eight  to  twenty-one.  All  of  the  space 
available  was  filled  with  rooters  and 
they  were  not  disappointed  in  the 
game.  It  was  played  under  the  inter- 
collegiate rules  which  helped  to  make 
the  play  fast  and  exciting    throughout. 

The  first  half  ended  with  almost 
a  shut-out  in  favor  of  Lake  Forest,  the 
score  being  ig  to  3  at  the  end  of  that 
period.  Lewis  three  points  were  made 
from  free  throws.  The  second  half 
opened  in  much  the  same  manner, 
every  one  of  the  team  taking  a  shot  at 
the  basket  and  nineteen  points  more 
were  added  to  our  score.  Toward  the 
end  of  the  half,  however,  Lewis  got 
buzy  and  the  greater  part  of  her  score 
was  made  in  the  last  few  minutes  of 
play.  Our  men  were  clearly  superior 
to  their  opponents  not  only  in  throwing 
baskets  but  also  in  team  work  and 
passing.

Women  Defeat  Deerfield. 

The  women's  basket  ball  team  up- 
held its  reputation  for  being  unable  to> 
lose  by  defeating  Deerfield  Township 
High  School  on  Friday  afternoon. 
The  first  part  of  the  game  was  played 
under  rules  restricting  the  players  to 
certain  parts  of  the  floor  and  as  a  re- 
sult was  exceedingly  slow  and  uninter- 
esting. The  college  team  being  un- 
used to  these  rules  was  unable  to  use 
its  team  plays  and  had  to  be  contented 
with  the  small  end  of  the  score  for  the 
first  period. 

The  last    part    was    played    under 


THE  STENTOR 


142 


rules  allowing  more  freedom    and    the 
game  became  well  worth  watching. 

The  Deerfield  forwards  made  the 
best  of  their  chances  to  score  but  the 
team  work  of  Miss  Nesbit's  cohorts  was 
too  much  for  them  and  the  game 
ended  with  the  score  twenty-seven  to 
fifteen  in  favor  of  Lake  Forest.

Team  Goes  to  Wheaton  Saturday. 

The  basketball  team  plays  its  next 
game  Saturday  night  with  Wheaton 
College  at  Wheaton,  and,  to  judge 
from  comparative  scores,  should  return 
victorious.  Wheaton  was  defeated  by 
Lewis  Institute  and  Lewis  was  in  turn 
defeated  by  Lake  Forest,  so  that  if  the 
team  plays  in  its  usual  form  it  will  be 
one  step  nearer  to  the  championship 
of  the  colleges  of  this  state. 

The  game  will  start  at  eight-thirty 
and  it  will  not  be  necessary  to  leave 
here  before  six  o'clock  Saturday  even- 
ing. This  is  a  good  chance  for  any- 
one that  does  not  care  for  dramatics 
to  see  a  good  basketball  game. 


That  Michigan  is  in  great  need  of

to  be  published.

Are  We 
Discourteous? 

We  take  no  pleasure  in  publishing 
the  communication  which  this  issue 
contains.  We  are  very  much  cha- 
grined that  such  an  opinion  can  any- 
where be  entertained  of  the  men  of 
Lake  Forest  College.  We  hope  it  is 
not  true;  we  hope  that  the  writer  may 
have  been  mistaken  in  the  identity  of 
the  men — but  we  fear  it  is  only  too 
true. 

One  of  the  charges  most  often 
made  against  college  students  is  their 
disregard  for  law.  No  doubt  the  Ger- 
man custom  of  Medieval  times — which 
we  understand    still    obtains    in    some 


places — of  giving  the  student  a  certain? 
exemption  from  civil  law,  is,  to  a  large 
extent,  responsible  for  this.  Perhaps 
the  discourtesy,  the  irreverence,  of  the 
average  student  has  its  origin  in  this 
same  custom. 

But  even  if  that  were  an  excuse 
for  lack  of  courtesy  on  the  part  of  the 
average  college  student — and  it  is  not 
— it  could  not  for  a  moment  be  valid 
for  us.  For  it  is  one  of  the  benefits 
that  we  claim  arise  from  our  co-educa- 
tional system,  namely,  that  here  we 
learn,  if  we  have  not  learned  before, 
to  treat  our  fellow-creature,  woman, 
with  respect,  with  courtesy,  and  with 
chivalry. 

We  are  heartily  ashamed  that  such 
a  charge  can  be  brought  against  any- 
of  our  number.  But  we  have  confi- 
dence enough  in  the  character  and  in 
the  strength  of  student  opinion  to  be- 
lieve that  such  discourtesy  can  and. 
will  be  stamped  out! 


To  the  Stentor: 

A  lady  recently  made  a  remark 
the  sweeping  character  of  which  I 
slightly  resented.  "I  wish,"  she  said,, 
"that  some  one  would  teach  these 
college  students  to  give  to  women  an 
equal  share  of  the  sidewalk  with  them- 
selves. More  than  once  I  have  been 
forced  off  the  walk  by  several  young 
men  abreast." 

Having  confidence  in  the  gentle- 
manly nature  of  several  friends  of 
mine  in  the  college  I  made  at  least  a 
mental  protest,  and  as  often  before  I 
regretted  that  the  innocent  should 
suffer  with  the  guilty. 

But  an  experience  the  other  day 
showed  me  that  there  exists  grounds 
for  indignant  criticism.  I  was  walking 
in  the  early  dusk,  and  seeing  five  or 
six  young  men  coming  I  thought  of 
the  lady's  remark.     Three   passed   me 


THE  STENTOR

abreast — I  at  the  extreme  right  of  the 
walk — the  one  next  me  hitting  me 
violently  as  he  roughly  shoved  by. 
No  apology  was  offered,  they  went 
noisily  on,  the  most  extreme  exam- 
ples of  ill-breeding  I  have  ever  en- 
countered in  Lake  Forest. 

How  shall  these  things  be 
remedied? 

A  Friend  of  the  College.

The  Hockey  team  plays  the 
Prairie  avenue  team  in  Chicago  on 
Saturday  of  this  week. 

Saturday  afternoon  of  this  week 
the  basket  ball  team  plays  Northwest- 
ern Academy  in  the  Lake  Forest 
Gymnasium.  As  Lake  Forest  has  de- 
feated Armour,  and  Northwestern  beat 
Morgan  Park,  this  game  will  decide 
the  leadership  of  the  Academic 
League.  The  admission  to  this  game 
is  free. 

Professor  Clapp  of  the  College 
gave  an  interesting  talk  on  the  History 
of  the  English  Novel,  in  Chapel  Mon- 
day morning. 

The  Academy  basket  ball  team 
scored  its  second  victory  Saturday,  de- 
feating the  Highland  Park  High  School 
by  the  score  of  42  to  25.  Although 
the  team  play  was  ragged,  the  work  of 
the  individual  players  was  good. 
Knoll  played  his  first  game  for  the 
Academy  and   handled    the   ball    well. 

Friday  evening  of  this  week  the 
Academy  team  will  debate  the  question 
''Resolved  that  the  United  States 
Should  Adopt  the  Canadian  Banking 
System."  The  negative  team  goes 
to  Morgan  Park,  while  the  affirmative 
team  meets  Northwestern  in  Lake 
Forest.  Both  teams  have  been  work- 
ing faithfully  on  the  question  and  will 
give  a  good  account  of  themselves. 
The  team  which  debates  in  Lake 
Forest  is  made  up  of  Fred  Peterson, 
G.  C.  Bradstreet  and  Louis  Upton. 
The  team  which  goes  to  Morgan  Park 
consists  of  Charles  Simons,  Glenn  A. 
Smith,  R.  D.  Gordon.      The   debate  in 


Lake  Forest  will  be  held  in  Reid  Hall 
at  8  o'clock.  It  is  hoped  that  there 
will  be  a  large  attendance  of  College, 
and  Ferry  Hall  students,  as  well  as 
townspeople  at  the  debate.  The 
students'  admission  is  15  cents. 

Quite  a  number  of  Academy 
students  are  planning  to  attend  the 
College  play  Saturday  night. 


COLLEGE  AND  VARSITY  NOTES 

The  committee  having  in  charge 
the  arrangements  for  the  Junior  play 
at  the  University  of  Wisconsin  are 
considering  the  question  of  having  the 
women  of  the  varsity  usher  for  the 
production.  At  the  production  of 
"The  Deceitful  Dean"  by  Chicago 
University  students  last  month  twenty 
representatives  of  the  various  women's 
societies  had  charge  of  the  ushering, 
and  the  plan  was  very  successful. 
The  proposed  plan  is  an  innovation  at 
Wisconsin  and  some  Juniors  are  as  yet 
a  little  doubtful  as  to  its  reception.

Garrick   Club   Wins    Laurels 


Presentation  of  "An  American  Citizen"  by  Gar- 
rick Club  its  Greatest  Achievement. 


The  work  of  the  Garrick  Club  in 
the  presentation  of  Madeleine  Lucette 
Ryley's  "An  American  Citizen,"  on 
Saturday  evening,  excelled  in  nearly 
every  particular,  anything  it  had  done 
previously.  The  play  itself,  probably 
had  more  interesting  situations  than 
any  previous  play;  there  was  consider- 
able improvement  in  scenery;  and  the 
cast  was  easily  the  best,  as  a  whole, 
that  has  appeared  before  the  footlights 
in  Lake  Forest  for  some  time. 

There  were  defects, to  be  sure.  It  is 
probable  that  the  audience,  during  the 
first  act,  was  not  in  perfect  sympa- 
thy with  the  players;  but  by  the  end 
of  the  second  act  it  was  under 
perfect  control,  save  for  its  propensity 
to  laugh  at  the  critical  moment.  The 
■make-ups  were  good,  save  in  one  or 
two  cases  where  the  painting  was  very 
much  overdone.  In  one  or  two  cases, 
too,  the  prompter  was  heard.  As  for 
the  music,  or  rather  the  lack  of  it,  be- 
tween acts — neither  the  management 
nor  the  orchestra  was  responsible. 
Professor  Fulton  and  his  orchestra 
could  do  little  with  a  piano  which  had 
five  broken  hammers  to  its  credit. 
But  these  few  defects  are  very  insig- 
nificant, when  compared  with  the  en- 
tire    production. 


Mr.  Munger  as  Beresford  Cru- 
ger,  and  Miss  Cutler  as  Bea- 
trice Carew,  very  naturally  made 
the  hit  of  the  evening.  For  Mr. 
Munger  it  was  a  fitting  climax  to  a 
successful  career  in  College  Dramatics, 
and  for  Miss  Cutler  it  was  an 
auspicious  beginning.  Not  a  single 
character  fell  flat,  indeed  nearly  every 
one  that  had  the  least  chance,  dis- 
tinguished himself.  The  feminine  part 
of  the  cast  is  especially  to  be  congrat- 
ulated upon  the  quality  of  its  work. 
Heretofore  the  preponderance  of  the 
praise  has  been  due  the  men — this 
time  the  laurels  must  be  shared  alike. 
As  for  Mr.  Haven,  who  played  the  part 
of  "Mercury," — we  prophesy  for  him 
a  brilliant  future  in  College  Drama- 
tics. 

At  the  close  of  the  play,  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Club  regaled  themselves 
with  the  best  "feed"  that  Mr.  Monahan 
could  set  before  them. 


CHEMISTRY    MEETING. 

A  meeting  of  the  chemistry  classes

Life  and  Work  of  Pasteur.  Miss 
Sturdevant  discussed  the  invention  and 
evolution  of  the  thermometer.

THE  STENTOR 


REV.  GEORGE  E.  THOMPSON. 

The  following  item  concerning 
the  death  of  the  Rev.  George  E. 
Thompson,  of  the  class  of  '87,  has  been 
received  and  is  deemed  worthy  of 
being  printed  entire.  Dr.  Halsey  says 
of  him,  "He  was  one  of  our  best  men." 

The  boyhood  days  and  early  man, 
hood  of  Rev.  George  Thompson,  who 
was  buried  here  last  week,  were  passed 
in  this  city.  Early  residents  will 
remember  his  parents,  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
James  Thompson.  Their  home  on 
the  site  of  the  J.  D.  Oliver  residence, 
was  after  their  death  in  the  seventies 
the  home  of  their  brother,  Josiah 
Thompson,  and  wife,  and  nephew 
George,  for  many  years. 

After  graduating  with  honors  in 
1887  from  Lake  Forest  University, 
Lake  Forest,  111.,  where  he  secured  a 
medal  for  oratorical  excellence,  he 
entered  Princeton  university,  Prince- 
ton, N.  |.,  to  prepare  for  the  christian 
ministry.  Immediately  following  his 
graduation  from  Princeton  in  1889,  he 
received  a  call  to  the  Presbyterian 
church  in  Wilmington,  Del.  He  was 
married  to  Miss  Maud  Cushman,  of 
this  city. 

With  the  exception  of  some 
months  spent  in  travel  in  Europe  a 
continuous  work  in  the  ministry  was 
carried  on  with  great  success  by  Mr. 
Thompson  in  Delaware,  Michigan  and 
until  1903,  when  it  became  necessary 
to  rest  on  account  of  failing  health. 
Accordingly  he  went  to  Colorado, 
where,  his  health  improving,  he  ac- 
cepted the  pastorate  of  the  Presby- 
terian church  in  Monte  Vista  and  was 
joined  by  his  family.  Last  June  the 
ministry  to  the  church  at  Lamar  began 
and  Mr.  Thompson  preached  for  this 
parish  until  about  six  weeks  before 
his  death,  which  occurred  in  Denver, 
Colorado,     on      December      5.      The 


funeral  services  were    held   in    Lamar, 
on  December  8. 

From  boyhood  he  was  of  a 
thoughtful  and  gentle  nature  and  to 
these  qualities,  strengthened  as  he 
developed  into  manhood,  were  added 
sympathy  and  love  for  all  in  distress, 
winning  all  hearts  to  himself  and 
many  souls  to  the  better  life.  Not 
only  was  he  an  eloquent  and  accept- 
able preacher,  but  everyone  who 
knew  him  felt  the  power  of  his  Christ- 
ian life,  which  impressed  the  teaching 
of  the  truth  more  effectively  than  ser- 
mons of  greatest  profundity  could  do. 
That  a  life  so  fruitful  in  good  works 
should  be  closed  at  the  early  age  of 
forty-three  is  deeply  deplored  by 
many  friends  to  whom  he  was  greatly 
endeared,  in  this  city  and  wherever 
his  loving  ministries  were  known. —

VESPER  SERVICE 


Professor  Needham   Gives    Farewell   TalK 
at  Vespers 

At  the-  Vesper  Service,  Sunday 
afternoon  Professor  Needham  ad- 
dressed the  students  for  the  last  time 
before  his  deparure  for  Cornell 
University.  The  theme  of  his  talk  was 
"'The  Bible  from  the  Naturalist  stand- 
point."    He  said  in  part: 

The  Bible  is  of  especial  interest 
to  the  naturalist  because  it  was  written 
in  large  part  by  Naturalists.  Nahum, 
David,  the  writer  of  Job,  and  the 
author  of  Genesis,  were  all  lovers  of 
Nature,  and  careful  observers  of  the 
phenomine  of  Nature.  Nowhere  in  all 
literature  are  there  more  beautiful, 
more  delicate  touches  of  Nature  than 
in  the  Bible.  It  has  great  interest  for 
the  naturalist,  too,  because  it  embodies 
and  exhibits  some  of  the  great  natural 
principles.  Therein  is  found  the  evi- 
dence of  the    evolution  of   man's    con-

LAHE  FOREST  VS.    WHEATON. 


BasKetball  Game  Developes  Into   a  Farce. 

Last  Saturday  the  basketball  team 
played  a  game,  that  was  called  basket- 
ball by  some,  with  Wheaton  College 
at  Wheaton. 

When  the  ball  had  been  put  in 
play  and  after  a  few  short  passes, 
Callahan  made  a  field  goal.  Shortly 
after  this  Louis  Scott  added  a  point  by 
a  free  throw.  Score  three  to  nothing 
in  favor  of  Lake  Forest.  From  that 
time  on  the  whistle  blew  almost  con- 
tinually. Paul  Stoltz  managed  to 
squeeze  in  another  field  goal  and  four 
more  fouls  were  added  to  our  score 
which  stood  nine  to  Wheaton's  six  at 
the  end  of  the  first  half.  In  the  second 
half  the  game  developed  into  a  mere 
contest  at  making  free  throws.  Fouls 
were  called  upon  any  grounds  what- 
ever and  all  attempts  to  play  a  fast 
game  were  useless.  Three  field  goals 
that  were  thrown  bv  our  men  were 
not  allowed  and  five  points  were 
awarded  Wheaton.  In  this  way  our 
lead  was  gradually  overcome.  Our 
men,  though  discouraged,  played  as 
hard  as  ever  but  it  was  useless.  The 
last  straw  came  when  Captain  Scott 
attempted  to  remonstrate  with  the 
referee  for  an  absurd  decision.  With- 
out paying  the  slightest  attention  to 
him  that  official  instantly  awarded 
Wheaton    a    point    for    delay    of    the 


game  on  the  part  of  Lake  Forest. 
1 1 1  was  then  that  the  team  left  the 
floor,  in   disgust. 

During  the  game  sixty-seven 
fouls  were  called.  Allowing  thirty 
seconds  for  each  of  these  about  thirty- 
four  minutes  of  the  thirty-eight  played 
were  taken  up  in  making  free  throws. 
The  reader  can  easily  imagine  how 
much  real  basket  ball  was  played  and 
he  will  be  left  to  judge  for  himself 
whether  or  not  the  game  was  fair. 

For  the  spectators  we  can  say  one 
thing,  they  were  certainly  well  trained. 
Cowbells,  horns  and  hisses  mingled 
with  an  occasional  cheer  kept  the 
visitors  from  becoming  bored  and  un- 
doubtedly gave  anyone  that  chanced 
to  be  outside  the  impression  that  some- 
thing exciting  was  going  on  within. 
Nothing  can  be  said  against  the 
Wheaton  players  themselves.  They 
played  as  good  a  game  as  was  possible 
under  the  conditions  and  showed  good 
spir  it.

Statement  by  Coach  Bradstreet. 

After  the  unjust  awarding'  of  five 
points  for  fouling,  the  not  allowing  of 
three  jffield  goals  as  'fairly  made  as 
could  be  by  our  men  and  the  calling 
of  a  foul  on  our  captain,  Louis  Scott, 
when  he  stopped  to  speak  to  the 
referee,  I  felt  perfectly  justified  in 
calling  the  game.  The  crowd  also  was 
very  unsportsmanlike  in  conduct  to 
both  the  men  and  myself.  I  feel  sure 
that  when  Wheaton  comes  here  a 
week  from  Saturday  with  a  neutral 
referee,  that  our  team  will  prove  itself 
worthy  of  our  support.  I  know  also 
that  the  students  of  Lake  Forest  will 
conduct  themselves  in  a  true  Lake 
Forest  spirit. 

G  C.  Bradstreet. 

Coach  Secured  for  Baseball. 

The  following  statement  has  been 
given  out  by  President  Halsey  con- 
cerning a  baseball  coach: 

"Mr.  Fred  P.  Falkenberg  has  been 
engaged  to  coach  the  college  baseball 
team  for  two  months.  Mr.  Falken- 
berg is  a  recent  graduate  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Illinois  and  has  been  pitch- 
ing for  the  Washington  team  of  the 
American  League.  He  has  had  ex- 
perience in  coaching  at  the  State 
University." 

The  cage  has  been  put  up  in  the 
gym  and  practice  is  now  held  every 
day  from  one  to  three  o'clock  and  from 
ten  to  twelve  Saturday  mornings. 

Captain  Milner  has  also  arranged 
to  have  various  well  known  profes- 
sionals give  talks  to  the  men.  Among 
these  will  be  Messrs.  Hayner,  "Jake' 
Wiemer,  Callahan  and  Gertenrick. 

So  far  about  twenty-five  men  have 
reported  for  practice  and  more  are 
expected  as  soon  as  the  semester 
^xaminatious  are  over. 


SECOND  TEAM  ORGANIZED 


Schedule  Being  Arranged 

The  second  basket  ball  team  has 
been  organized  and  a  schedule  is  be- 
ing arranged  by  Manager  Bush.  The 
team  is  made  up  of  some  good  players 
and  work  is  now  being  done  to  perfect 
the  team  work. 

Eight  games  have  been  arranged 
for  and  several  more  are  practically 
assured.  A  trip  is  being  arranged  for 
the  latter  part  of  February  and  will 
probably  include  Joliet,  Ottawa, 
Pontiac  and  Fairbury.  Captain  West- 
ervelt  says  that  there  is  yet  room  on 
the  team  for  some  good  men  and 
wishes  to  see  more  candidates  out. 

BasKet  Ball  Saturday  Afternoon 

What  promises  to  be  one  of  the 
best  basket  ball  games  of  the  season 
will  be  played  here  Saturday  afternoon 
against  Northwestern  College.  North- 
western defeated  Northwestern  Uni- 
verrity,  and  from  all  reports  has  a 
good  team  so  that  there  is  no  danger 
of  a  slow  contest.  The  game  will  be 
called  at  three  o'clock. 

Don't  forget  the  Married  Men  vs. 
the  Widowers  tomorrow  night.

THE    AMERICAN- JAPANESE    DIFFICULTY. 

Akiba  Izumi. 

The  present  difficulties  between 
the  United  States  and  Japan  are  due 
to  the  prejudice  of  the  Labor  Union 
in  San  Francisco,  whose  mayor  is  also 
leader  of  the  Union.  Eighty  percent 
of  the  Unionists  are  foreign  born 
Americans  who  are  anxious  to  make  a 
stronghold  of  their  trade.  Two  years 
ago  I  travelled  all  over  California  to 
study  the  condition  of  the  Japanese. 
The  Japanese  laborers  are  dominant 
in  the  horticultural  and  fruit-raising 
districts,  whereas  the  American 
laborers  monopolize  the  manufactur- 
ing, the  farming,  and  the  mechanical 
industries,  and  they  receive  better 
salaries  than  the  former.  Certain 
strawberry  patches,  which  American 
farmers  have  abandoned  as  unprofit- 
able, have  been  taken  up  by  the 
Japanese  and  are  being  cultivated  to 
very  great  advantage.  Thus  they  have 
different  ability  in  various  lines  of 
work.  If  each  should  be  limited  to 
his  own  circle,  both  laborers  would  be 
very  efficient  in  the  industries  of 
California.  But  it  is  human  nature  for 
the  one,  if  he  thinks  the  other  a 
menace  to  his  own  interest  to  oust  his 
rival  for  the  safety  and  stability  of  his 
position. 

There  are  disputes  and  conflicts 
among  American  laborers,  but  they 
are  not  nearly  so  severe  as  are  those 
between  Americans  and  Japanese. 
Because  of  the  inability  of  the  latter  to 
speak  English  well,  and  to  accustom 
themselves  to  the  ways  of  the  country, 
there  is  little  association  between  them 
and  the  American  laborers.  When 
once  dislike  creeps  in,  every  action, 
every  word  of  one  is  disagreeable  to 
the  other;  but  on  the  contrary,  when 
there  is  a  liking  between  them,  every- 
thing is  agreeable,  just  as  a  "small  pox 


scar  looks   to    the    lovers    a    dimple." 

The  separate  school  measure  of 
San  Francisco  was  very  clumsily  ex- 
ecuted. The  school  Board  was  ruled 
by  the  Union,  and  it  did  not  take  time 
to  study  the  legal  procedure.  I  agree 
with  the  board  that  the  adult  Japanese 
should  be  excluded  from  the  grade 
schools.  I  understand,  too,  and 
sympathize  with  the  Union  men 
who  obeyed  the  natural  law  of 
self      preservation.  If     only      the 

moral  law  could  have  conciliated  with 
the  natural,  no  trouble  would  have 
occured  in  San  Francisco. 

The  segregation  question  has  not 
yet  been  settled,  but  I  am  confident 
that  it  will  be  solved  satisfactorily  for 
both  countries  in  a  short  time.  It  will 
be  but  a  small  ripple  on  the  surface  of 
deep  water.  I  do  not  believe  that 
there  will  be  any  international  trouble 
which  will  end  the  friendly  tie  be- 
tween the  two  countries. 

A  few  days  ago  Bishop  Harris, 
after  two  years  of  service  in  Japan, 
said  in  his  speech  at  Los  Angeles: 
"Togo  will  commit  'Harakini'  before 
he  turns  his  entire  fleet  against  the 
United  States."  The  "Bushide,"  or 
spirit  of  Japan,  forbids  one  to  turn 
against  a  benefactor.  Japan  always 
considers  the  United  States  her  bene- 
factor and  the  most  favored  nation 
among  the  "most  favored  nations." 

If  there  is  to  be  any  trouble,  it 
will  be  the  "struggle  for  the  supremacy 
of  the  Pacific."  The  Rev.  Josiah 
Strong  says  in  his  book  "The  Mastery 
of  the  Pacific,"  that  the  United  States 
will  gain  control  of  the  Pacific,  and 
reduce  Japan  to  a  dependency.  Benja- 
min Kidd  has  said  that  civilization  is 
oscillating  toward  the  west  —  from 
Europe  to  America,  from  America 
toward    Asia.     If     the    United    States

ACADEMY. 

Harold  Newton,  Editor. 

On  Wednesday,  Jan.  23,  the 
hockey  team  was  defeated  by  North- 
western Academy  by  a  score  of  4-2. 
On  Saturday,  January  27,  our  team 
redeemed  itself  by  defeating  the 
crack  team  of  Prairie  avenue    club    by 

2-0. 

Last  Friday  night  both  of  the  de- 
bating teams  were  defeated,  the  nega- 
tive by  Morgan  Park  and  the  affirma- 
tive by  Northwestern.  Considering 
the  fact  that  our  fellows  had  only  two 
week's  preparation  their  work  was  very 
creditable.

does  not  control  Asia,  Japan  will  be 
suzerain  both  of  Asia  and  the  western 
Pacific. 

The  struggle  for  the  supremacy  of 
the  Pacific  is  to  be  a  competition  of 
commerce,  not  of  arms.  The  result  of 
this  competition  will  be  a  co-operation 
in  trade  by  means  of  treaties  and 
agreements  between  private  compan- 
ies of  both  countries.  When  we  are 
enthusiastic  for  commercial  expansion 
we  avoid  war,  as  far  as  possible.  Com- 
mercial men  are  always  anxious  to 
keep  the  peace.     For  the  same  reason 


commercial  nations  will  not  fight,  if 
there  is  any  amicable  means  of  settling 
the  disputes.  The  commercial  sphere 
in  Asia  and  the  Pacific  is  so  wide  and 
so  promising  that  it  might  easily  be 
divided  between  two  or  more  coun- 
tries. The  interests  of  the  two  coun- 
tries in  the  East  are  similar;  hence 
they  could  well  form  a  commercial 
union  for  the  protection  of  their  rights 
in  Asia.  Neither  the  United  States 
nor  Japan  will  encroach  upon  the 
interests  of  the  other.  There  have 
been  almost  no  wars  of  recent  times 
fought  for  mere  commercial  suprem- 
acy. My  belief  is  that  this  generation, 
at  least,  will  not  see  a  war  between 
these  two  countries.

SERVICES  OF  THE  DAY  OF  PRAYER 

Last  Thursday,  the  day  set  apart 
by  many  colleges  and  universities  of 
the  country  as  the  Day  of  Prayer  for 
Colleges,  was  fittingly  commemorated 
here  by  two  notable  services. 

For  the  morning  service,  which 
was  held  in  the  Chapel,  Dr.  Hill,  an 
old  Lake  Forester,  ex  '84,  and  now 
Professor  of  Homiletics  at  McCormick 
Seminary,  had  been  secured.  The 
words  of  commendation  and  praise  be-

experience  in  inter-collegiate,  have

by  their  work  in  the  Literary  Society. 
Palmer,  Kessler  and  Schwartz,  who 
represent  Athenaean,  have  all  had 
some  experience  in  inter-collegiate 
debating. 

Last  year  Athenaean  won  out; 
but  for  the  three  years  preceding  that 
Zeta  Epsilon  was  victor.  The  result 
is  awaited  by  both  societies  with  great 
eagerness.

who,  reared  in  a  palace  of  beauty  and 
luxury,  but  a  veritable  prison  house, 
went  forth  in  the  search  of  happiness. 
At  last  he  returned  from  his  wander- 
ings to  the  valley  of  Enchantment, 
having  sought  but  not  found.  We 
are  all  seeking  happiness,  but  we  find 
with  Rasselas  that  "happiness  is  yonder

aside  for  lack  of  room.  Moreover,  of 
these  students  not  a  few  have  devoted 
themselves  permanently  to  biological 
work. 

For  most  of  the  time  alone  in 
charge  of  so  large  and  diversified  a 
field  as  Biologv,  it  has  of  course  been 
impossible  for  Professor  Needham  to 
offer  any  extended  or  finely  differen- 
tiated courses  in  either  Botany  or 
Zoology.  The  courses  offered  have 
been  very  general  and  biologic  in  their 
nature,  centering  about  the  great 
principles  of  biology,  rather  than  in 
the  details  of  any  restricted  field. 
Professor  Needham  has  constantly 
endeavored  to  introduce  the  newer 
phases  of  biological  work  into  his 
courses  and  it  is  in  making  many  of 
these  studies  effective  pedagogically 
that  he  has  made  the  opening  courses 
here  quite  unique  among  those  offered 
in  American  colleges. 

At  odd  moments  and  during  the 
summer  months  Prof.  Needham  has 
managed  to  do  considerable  research 
work.  These  researches  have  been 
mainly  on  aquatic  insects — first  on 
dragon  flies,  later  on  may  flies  and 
stone  flies.  A  great  deal  of  this  work 
has  been  done  for  the  New  York  State 
Museum.  Beginning  with  the  summer 
of  1900  Dr.  Needham  has  been  in 
charge  of  an  Entomologic  Field  Sta- 
tion for  the  State  of  New  York  and 
the  results  of  that  work  appear  in  a 
series  of  bulletins  of  the  State  Museum. 
Of  the  first  of  these  reports  when  it 
first  appeared  the  United  States  Ento- 
mologist wrote  that  it  was  the  most 
important  contribution  yet  made  to 
the  knowledge  of  aquatic  insects  in 
America,  and  the  others  in  the  series 
are  quite  as  important.      When    Prof. 


Needham's  first  publication,  "Elemen- 
tary Lessons  in  Zoology,"  appeared, 
the  U.  S.  Entomologist  commented 
favorably  not  only  on  its  subject  mat- 
ter but  on  the  felicity  of  the  style  as 
well.  The  same  might  be  done  with 
equal  reason  regarding  these  later  pub- 
lications. Besides  the  work  already 
referred  to,  Dr.  Needham  has  pub- 
lished many  articles  of  scientific  and 
educational  interest  and  has  almost 
ready  a  bulletin  on  the  stone  flies  of 
New  York  and  a  textbook  of  College 
Biology.  He  is  also  serving  as  a  mem- 
ber of  the  editorial  boards  of  the 
American  Naturalist  and  of  Psyche. 

The  work  to  which  Dr.  Needham 
is  called  at  Cornell  is  in.  line  with  the 
researches  just  mentioned.  It  is  a  new 
department  of  Limnology  which  is  or- 
ganized under  the  department  of  En- 
tomology and  Invertebate  Zoology. 
This  study,  as  yet  unorganized  for  col- 
lege work,  may  be  defined  as  the  bi- 
ology of  fresh  water  plants  and  ani- 
mals. Prof.  Needham  plans  to  formu- 
late it  for  instruction  of  college  classes 
but  the  greater  part  of  his  work  will 
doubtless  be  the  direction  of  graduate 
students  in  research  work. 

Prof.  Needham  is  certainly  to  be 
congratulated  on  entering  the  particu- 
lar field  of  his  choice  under  the  favor- 
able circumstances  which  are  to  sur- 
round him  at  Cornell  University.  At 
the  same  time  it  is  unfortunate  for 
Lake  Forest  not  to  be  able  to  keep 
him  and  it  is  with  keen  and  universal 
regret  that  we  lose  him  and  his  family 
from  our  college  community. 


Purdue  and  Indiana  are  engaged 
in  a  spirited  controversy  over  the  loca- 
tion of  the  new  state  medical  school, 
which  is  to  be  decided  at  the  present 
session  of  the  legislature.

THE  STENTOR 


Lake  Forest  vs.  Northwestern  College 

Lake  Forest  was  defeated  in  bas- 
ket ball  last  week  by  Northwestern 
College.  The  game  was  fast  and  well 
played  throughout.  The  team  work 
of  both  sides  was  good,  but  the  ball  it- 
self seemed  to  be  decidedly  prejudiced 
in  favor  of  Northwestern  and  showed 
a  marked  aversion  to  going  into  the 
Lake  Forest  basket. 

Every  man  on  the  team  played 
hard  but  for  some  reason  they  seemed 
to  lack  the  snap  and  energy  they  have 
shown  in  the  previous  games.  How- 
ever, whether  the  team  played  in  its 
usual  form  or  not,  Northwestern  scored 
the  greater  number  of  points  and  that 
is  all  that  is  necessary  to  win. 

They  certainly  have  a  strong  team 
and  should  make  a  good  showing  for 
championship  honors,  but  we  hope  to 
lessen  their  chances  in  this  line  when 
the  return  game  is  played. 

Schneller  and  Schroeder  did  the 
best  work  for  Northwestern  and  made 
the  greater  part  of  their  score,  while 
the  Scott  brothers  and  Mathers  did  the 
most  consistent  work  for  Lake 
Forest.

Wheaton  Saturday 

On  Saturday  we  play  our  return 
game  with  Wheaton  College.  The 
game  played  there  was  unsatisfactory 
in  almost  every  way  and  it  is  up  to 
every  loyal  son  and  daughter  of  Lake 
Forest  to  be  on  hand  to  support  the 
team  and  incidentally  to  show  the 
visitors  what  real  Lake  Forest  spirit 
is. 

Married  Men  vs.  Bachelor-Widowers 

Ben  Franklin  or  some  one  like 
that  once  said  that  to  be  successful  a 
man  must  be  married  and  this  state- 
ment was  proven  conclusively  last 
Friday  night  when  the  "Married  Men" 
defeated  a  composite  "Bachelor- 
Widower"  team,  at  what  was  intended 
to  be  a  game  of  indoor  base  ball.  It 
was  the  third  annual  function  of  the 
kind  and  will  in  probability  be  the  last,, 
for  the  Bachelors  seem  to  be  dying  a 
natural  death,  and  with  such  men  as 
"Bud"  deserting  them  all  hope  for  the 
future  is  lost. 

As  the  signal  was  given  for  the 
grand  march    the    two    teams    entered 


THE  STENTOR 


1 66 


with  Captains  Shroyer  and  Kiethley 
leading  and  executed  several  intricate 
and  beautiful  figures  which  brought 
loud  applause  from  the  balcony.  The 
players  then  retired  to  their  respective 
corners  and  the  officials  gathered  to- 
gether to  decide  whether  the  game 
should  be  played  according  to  Hoyle, 
or  under  the  Marquis  of  Oueensbury 
rules.  The  Marquis  finally  won  and 
then  came  the  only  unpleasant  event 
of  the  evening.  Kiethley  as  captain 
of  the  Married  Men's  team  being  un- 
able to  produce  his  certificate  it  be- 
came the  duty  of  Schroyer  to  see  that 
an  eligible  man  was  put  in  the  place. 
The  case  was  presented  with  Palmer  as 
prosecuting  attorney  and  the  "Swede" 
was  thrown  out.  Harris  was  instant- 
taneously  and  unanimously  elected  to 
.fill  the  position  and  the  game  went  on. 

To  describe  the  game  accurately 
would  be  impossible  as  well  as  undesir- 
able, so  an  elaborate  account  will  not 
be  attempted. 

The  Married  Men  won  by  their 
superior  batting  and  though  the  score 
was  rather  one-sided  the  game  was  at 
all  times  interesting  and  once  it  looked 
as  though  the  "Has  Beens"  and  "Never 
Were's"  would  turn  the  tables. 

However  at  this  moment  "Ack" 
chanced  to  glance  up  into  the  balcony 
and  after  that  there  was  "nothing  do- 
ing" for  the  opposing  batters. 

[We  refer  any  one  that  does  not 
believe  an  athlete  receives  any  moral 
support  from  the  rooters  to  this  ex- 
ample.] 

Shroyer  on  being  interviewed 
after  the  game  gave  out  the  following 
statement: 

"I  am  sorry  that  the  game  was 
not  postponed  as  several  of  my  best 
men  were  unable  to  play  tonight  and 
we  were  forced  to  play  without  a  full 
team.      Had   the    team    been    full  it  is 


hard    to  tell    what     might     have    hap- 
pened.

PROFESSOR    BETTEN   ENTERTAINS   BONE 
CLUB. 

The  Bone  Club,  in  respone  to  an 
invitation  given  by  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Bet- 
ten,  held  its  annual  banquet  in  their 
home  last  Thursday  evening.  The 
table  groaned  with  evidences  of  Mrs. 
Betten's  culinary  skill.  The  Bone  Club 
groaned  in  sympathy.  It  sailed  into 
the  attack  bearing  in  mind  the  motto 
which  is  the  rallying  cry  on  all  festal 
occasions,  "Ede  Bibe  Gaude,  Naur, 
Cras  Morieris." 

Some  startling  gastronomic  stunts 
were  performed.  The  famous  eater, 
L.  T.  Jones  completely  upheld  his 
reputation  on  this  occason.  Alexan- 
der sighed  over  lack  of  worlds  to 
conquer.  Jones  sighed  because  nature 
endowed  him  with  only  one  stomach 
to  fill. 

Official  manipulation  of  the  scales 
revealed  the  interesting  fact  that  Mr. 
Jones  was  nine  pounds  heavier"  at  the 
finish.  No  other  organization  being 
able  to  beat  these  figures  the  Bone 
Club  still  holds  the  honors.  Those 
who  further  aided  Jones  were:  Mr. 
Craig,  Mr.  Caswell,  Mr.  Browne,  Mr. 
Thompson  and  Mr.  Prentice. 


Three  is  a  crowd.     There  were  three- 
He,  the  lamp,  and  she  ; 
Two  is  company,  and  no  doubt 
That  is  why  the  lamp  went  out.— Ex.

The  New  Semester. 

The  first  semester  with  all  that  it 
has  brought  us  of  weakness  or  of 
strength,  of  failure  or  attainment  is 
past.  Another  semester  has  come  up- 
on us  ere  we  were  aware  and  already 
we  are  all  but  submerged  with  the 
duties  it  has  brought  to  us. 

Whatever  we  have  attained,  indi- 
vidually or  collectively,  during  that 
semester,  we  are  in  duty  bound  to  sui 
pass  that  attainment.  Hence  we  take 
this  opportunity  of  repeating  the  ob- 
servations upon  our  college  life,  made 
by  certain  of  our  professors  in  their 
addresses  made  at  the  Senior  Banquet 
some   time  ago.       One    observed    that 


the  student  body  is  giving  too  much 
time  to  outside  affairs  to  the  detriment 
of  the  curriculum  work.  He  did  not 
decry  the  desirabilty  of  student  enter- 
prise but  desired  that  it  be  kept  within 
more  reasonable  bounds  A  second, 
in  somewhat  the  same  strain,  urged 
that  intellectual  and  scholastic  affairs 
be  given,  the  first  place  in  the  college 
life.  And  a  third  desired  a  more  uni- 
fied spirit  among  the  students — "Stand 
together!"  Curiously  enough,  per- 
haps, we  have  heard  many  similar  ob- 
servations from  the  lips  of  the  students 
themselves.  Evidently  then — for  we 
have  it  from  all  sides — there  is  some 
real  evil  to  be  corrected.  Here  then 
is  the  opportunity  for  advancement. 
What  shall  we  do  with  it? 


[The  following  is  an  extract  from  a  letter  re- 
ceived by  a  member  of  the  faculty  fromC.  A.  Douglass, 
of  the  class  of  ex-  93,  Teheran,  Persia.] 

I  wish  to  assure  you  of  my  deep 
interest  and  satisfaction  in  Lake 
Forest's  welfare. 

Were  the  distance  not  so  great  I 
would  certainly  endeavor  to  send  you 
some  of  the  bright  lads  passing  out  of 
our  schools  here  to  seek  an  education 
abroad. 

In  this  capital  city  of  Persia  our 
Presbyterian  Church  is  carrying  on  an 
important  and  successful  work.  The 
Teheran  Mission  Hospital  established 
through  the  generosity  of  Mrs.  Ferry 
and  others,  of  Lake  Forest,  is  a 
wonderful  power  for  good  in  breaking 
down  prejudice  and  relieving  the  suf- 
fering. 

Iran  Bethel,  our  large  girls' school, 
the  only  school  for  girls  in  all  this 
great  city  and  region,  is  a  light  house 
of  beneficent  influence  in  enlightening 
and  uplifting  the  degraded,  down- 
trodden womanhood  of  Persia. 

The  American  Boys'  School,  of 
which  the  writer  is  at  present  princi- 
pal, has  a  corps  of  16  teachers  and  220

pupils,  more  than  half  Mohammedans, 
the  rest  Armenians,  Jews  and  Zoroas- 
trians.  There  being  scant  religious 
liberty  allowed  by  the  dominant,  intol- 
erant faith  of  Islam,  the  expediency 
and  efficiency  of  the  school  and  hospi- 
tal are  intensified. 

We  are  hoping  great  things  from 
the  new  spirit  of  progress  that  has 
permeated  to  this  very  heart  of  Asia. 
A  National  Assembly  has  been 
established  and  a  new  Shah  is  about 
to  take  the  throne.  The  people  are 
beginning  to  awaken  from  the  torpor 
of  centuries  to  the  advantages  of 
modern  civilazation.  It  is  our  prayer- 
ful hope  that  in  finding  the  shell  they 
may  not  miss  the  true  kernel  of  civili- 
zation— the  regenerating,  energizing 
power  of  Christianity. 

With  pleasant  wishes  to    you    and 
to  the  College  in  all  its   interests,  for  a 
year  of  prosperity  and  steady  advance- 
ment and  achievement,  I  remain 
Sincerely  yours, 

C.  A.  Douglas. 


VESPER  SERVICE. 


The  Rev.  Mr.  Pfanstiehl,  who  is 
so  soon  to  leave  his  pastorate  at  High- 
land Park,  gave  the  address  at  Ves- 
pers last  Sunday  afternoon.  The 
theme  of  his  talk — "The  Power  of  Ser- 
vice"— he  took  from  the  incident  of 
Christ  washing  the  disciples  feet.  *  * 
The  idea  of  bigness  has  in  the  Ameri- 
can mind  overshadowed  the  idea  of 
greatness.  The  disciples  just  missed 
being  great  in  the  eyes  of  their  Lord 
by  being  unwilling  to  humble  them- 
selves. The  towel  which  Christ  used 
was  the  mightiest  scepter  ever  wielded. 
*  *  *  In  service  alone  lies  true 
power,  true  happiness! 

It  was  a  very  strong  plea  for  the 
life  of  service. 


SENIORS    TOBOGGAN   AT    RAVINIA  PARK. 

The  Senior  Class,  taking  advan- 
tage of  last  week's  snowfall,  donned 
caps  and  sweaters  on  Wednesday  even- 
ing, and  hied  them  away  to  Ravinia 
Park,  where  they  revelled  for  two 
hours  in  the  joys  of  winter.  Leaving 
Lake  Forest  shortly  before  seven 
o'clock  they  were  the  first  to  appear 
upon  the  scene  of  action  and  for  an 
hour  or  more  enjoyed  the  toboggan 
slide  alone.  They  had,  to  be  sure, 
their  quota  of  up-sets,  just  enough  to 
add  zest  to  the  sport,  but  fortunately 
none  bad  enough  to  result  in  any 
accidents.  A  few  members  of  the 
class  essayed  to  skate,  but  the  ice  was 
too  poor  long  to  lure  them  away  from 
the  toboggan  slide. 

At  nine-thirty  the  class  returned 
in  its  integrity  to  Lake  Forest,  and, 
after  lunching  at  Monahan's,  wended 
their  way  toward  Lois  Hall  where  they 
spent  the  remainder  of  the  evening 
sitting  about  the  fireplace  and  listen- 
ing, while  one  of  their  number  sang. 
It  was  an  occasion  that  will  live  in  the 
memory  of  the  Class  of  '07,  along  with 
the  dearest  memories  of  their  life  at 
Lake  Forest. 


DR.  FOSTER  OF  BOWDOIN    COLLEGE    AD-

dressed them  at  the  house  of  Dr. 
Boyle  on  "The  Assets  of  the  Small 
College."  Professor  Foster,  since  go- 
ing to  Bowdoin,  has  been  a  very  effect- 
ive lieutenant  to  Dr.  Hyde  in  the  ad- 
ministrative work  of  that  institution 
and  speaks  with  experience  and  a 
maturity  which  is  more  common  in 
veterans  than  in  younger  men.  The 
large  attendance,  not  only  of  the  club, 
but  of  invited  guests,  heard  his  address 
with     much    satifaction    and   pleasure.

Academy  boys  and  the  same  number 
of  .Ferry  Hall  girls,  in  her  rooms 
Saturday  evening.

The  basketball  game  at  St.  Johns 
vas  a  surprise  to  us  all.  After  a  long 
old  ride,  the  team,  in  a  very  small 
old  gym,  played  a  slow  and  uninter- 
sting  game.  Smith  at  center  played 
good  game  but  was  handicapped  be-

and  Taylor  played  in  hard  luck.  The 
ball  was  worked  down  to  them  again 
but  they  could  not  locate  the  basket. 
Hotchkin  played  in  his  usual  style  but 
his  opponent  was  not  aggressive  and 
played  that  old  game  of  waiting  under 
the  basket  for  the  ball.  Grier  played 
the  star  game  for  St.  Johns,  making 
thirteen  baskets.

Miss  King  left  Monday  morning  to 
spend  a  few  weeks  at  the  sanitarium  in 
Battle  Creek,  Mich. 

Word  was  received  last  week  of 
the  death  of  the  sister  of  Mrs.  Esther 
Thompson,  who  visited  Ferry  Hall  last 
October  at  the  time   of    the    Re-union. 

Gertrude  Cole  led  the  prayer 
meeting  Wednesday  evening.  The 
topic  was  "Day  of  Prayer".  It  was  a 
good  meeting  and  preparatory  for  the 
services  of  the  next  day. 

Saturday  evening  Selma  Dierssen, 
Maria  Eckels,  Mabel  Bruner,  Gertrude 
Cole,  Wilma  Johnson,  Ruth  Coyle,  and 
Olive  Lewis  attended  the  chafing  dish 
supper  and  dance  given  by  Academy

Those  who  have  left  school  are: 
Ruth  Mabry,  Olive  Lewis,  Mary

Isabelle  Hopkins.  We  are  sorry  to 
lose  them. 

The  girls  took  advantage  of  the 
good  sleighing  the  past  week.  Three 
parties  were  out  Wednesday  night: 
the  Seniors,  the  Juniors,  and  a  crowd 
of  Delta  Phi  Deltas:  Helena  Robbins, 
Nina  Greenwood,  Edith  Haase,  Lillian

The  recital  promises  to  be  one  of  un- 
usual interest.  Admission  for  outside 
guests  is  fifty  cents. 

Saturday  afternoon  the  Omega

formally. Those  present  were:  Zola 
Harry,  Mabel  Hardin,  Lucile  Bruen, 
Edith  Haase,  Anna  Cram,  Anne 
Krome,  Mary  Krome  and  Lillian  Wise. 
They  had  a  most  enjoyable  afternoon. 

Two  table  parties  were  given  the 
past  week.  The  French  table  had  a 
farewell  dinner  Saturday  night.  Miss 
Shanklin  and  Miss  Klingenhagen's 
table  left  the  dining  room,  Friday 
evening,  to  partake  of  "milk  and 
honey  in  true  Oriental  ease. 

Day  of  Prayer  came  like  a  calm  in 
the  midst  of  the  worry  of  examinations. 
Although  we  were  disappointed  in 
several  of  the  speakers  who  were 
asked  to  speak  to  us,  at  our  afternoon 
seJvice,  no  one  regretted  that  Dr. 
Boyle  was  our  speaker.  We  will  not 
soon  forget  the  message  he  brought  us.

remarkable  entertainer.  His  second 
program  was  so  amusing  and  entertain- 
ing that  we  had  to  forgive  him  for  de- 
ceiving us  in  not  being  the  real  thing. 
We  should  also  like  to  thank  the  one 
who  thought  of  and  planned  this  sur- 
prise and  pleasure  for  us  in  our  semi- 
quarantined  state.  It  was  a  good 
recompense  for  what  we  have  given 
up. 

Examinations  have  come  and  gone. 
Some  of  us  are  happy,  some  are  sadder 
and  wiser.  At  least  we  know  where 
we  stand.  It  is  time  to  take  a  new 
start.  If  we  have  been  successful,  let 
it  spur  us  on  to  greater  efforts.  If  we 
have  failed,  let  us  not  be  discouraged 
but  determined  to  make  the  coming 
semester  a  success. 

The  Ferry  Hall  Alumnae  Associ- 
ation held  a  monthly  luncheon  on 
January  27,  at  the  home  of  Mrs.  Abbie 
Piatt  Whitman,  85  Rush  St.  At  this 
meeting  a  report  was  given  of  the  two 
lectures  by  William  Norman  Guthrie, 
delivered  under  the  auspices  of  the 
Association  f^r  the  benefit  of  the 
scholarship  fund  which  is  being  raised. 
Although  the  lectures  were  not  finan- 
cially successful,  they  were  a  great 
treat  to  the  audience,  and  deserved  a 
better  recognition.

The   Inter-vSociety  Debate 


Athenaean    Wii\s — The    College    Team   Selected 


The  two  literary  societies,  Ath- 
enaean and  Zeta  Epsilon,  clashed 
swords  in  debate  upon  the  immigration 
question,  last  Friday  evening  in  Reid 
Memorial  Chapel,  with  victory  for 
Athenaean  resulting.  This  annual 
contest,  ever  since  its  institution 
in  1.1900,  has  excited  great  inter- 
est; but,  judging  from  the  size 
of  the  audience,  it  would  seem 
that  the  interest  had  fallen  off  this 
year.  Although  the  odds  were  in 
favor  of  Athenaean,  by  reason  of  her 
having  the  more  experienced  team, 
the  contest  was  nevertheless  close. 

The  team  that  represented  Zeta 
Epsilon  consisted  of  Hartman,  Wharton 
and  Robineau;  Athenaean  was  repre- 
sented by  Schwartz,  H.  T.  Kessler  and 
Palmer.  The  proposition  in  its  exact 
statement  was:  "Resolved,  That  laws 
further  restricting  immigration  to  the 
United  States  are  inexpedient;"  Zeta 
Epsilon  supporting  the  affirmative  and 
Athenaean,  the  negative. 

Both  teams  showed  consistent  pre- 
paration and  good  organization  ot 
material.  The  set  speeches,  on  the 
whole,  were  well  delivered,  and  in  a 
few  cases  exceptionally  well.  The  re- 
buttals were  not  so  uniformly  good. 
In      these      Palmer,       Robineau     and 


Schwartz  were  strongest.  These  same 
men  were  selected  to  represent  Lake 
Forest  in  the  Illinois  debate;  and 
doubtless,  through  the  merits,  chiefly, 
of  their  rebuttal  speeches.  Palmer 
was  unanimously  given  first  place, 
thereby  receiving  the  fifteen  dollar  de- 
bating prize.  The  decision  as  to  sides 
was  two  for  the  negative,  and  one  for 
the  affirmative — this  latter  being 
awarded  because  of  "superior  summing 
up."  The  judges  were:  Professor 
Wm.  A.  Locy,  of  Northwestern 
University.  Prof.  C.  D.  Crawford,  of 
Joliet  High  School,  and  Mr.  Burrill  of 
our  own  Department  of  Oratory,  who 
took  the  place  of  Mr.  Chas.  E.  Lauder 
of  Chicago. 


GLEE  CLUB  PROSPECTS. 

Since  Mr.  Brewster  has  taken  hold 
of  the  Glee  Club  the  outlook  for  a  trip 
has  brightened  a  hundred  per  cent. 
As  director  Mr.  Brewster  has  succeeded 
remarkably  in  getting  hold  of  the  men 
immediately.  He  and  the  leader,  Mr. 
Talcott,  expect  to  turn  out  one  of  the 
best  organizations  in  the  history  of  the 
institution.  Manager  Keithley  is  busy 
working  up  an  extensive  trip  for  the 
Club.  Besides  taking  charge  of  the 
Club  itself,  Mr.  Brewster  has  taken  sev-- 
eral  of  the  men  as  private  student.

PROFESSOR  JACK'S  TENNYSONIANA  SOLD. 

The  Nation  of  January  31,  '07  has 
the  following  item  in  its  "News  for 
Bibliophiles": 

"The  Tennyson  collection  of 
Professor  Albert  E.  Jack,  of  Lake 
Forest  University,  was  sold  on  Mon- 
day by  the  Anderson  Auction  Com- 
pany of  this  city,  (New  York).  An 
uncut  copy  of  'The  Falcon'  in  the 
original  blank  buff  paper  covers,  print- 
ed for  copyright  or  for  use  of  the 
Kendals,  who  acted  it  in  December, 
1879,  brought  $200;  'The  Cup,'  uncut, 
the  third  of  Tennyson's  privately 
printed  plays,  written  for  Henry  Irving 
and  Ellen  Terry,  who  performed  it  on 
Christmas  Day,  1880,  $180;  'The  Prom- 
ise of  May'  the  rarest  of  Tennyson's 
privately  printed  plays,  produced  at 
the  Globe  Theater  in  London,  in  1882,

'Poems.  By  Two  Brothers,'  written  by 
Alfred  and  Charles  Tennyson,  and  the 
former's  first  publication,  London,  1827, 
$65.  The  rage  for  Tennyson  rarities  is 
not  so  great  as  it  was  a  few  years  ago, 
these  figures  being  below  those  paid 
for  the  same  works  in  the  Morgan  and

NO    CIGARETTES    FOR   UNIVERSITY    MEN 


Bill  Introduced  in  State  Legislature  Would 
Impose  Fine  for  Their  Use. 

University  students  who  are  still 
minors  in  the  eyes  of  the  law  come  in 
for  special  attention  in  the  new  anti- 
cigarette  law  which  has  just  been  in- 
troduced into  the  Illinois  state  senate 
at  Springfield.  The  anti-cigarette  bill 
is  fathered  by  Senator  Orville  F.  Berry 
and  the  provision  which  concerns 
University  of  Chicago  men,  along  with 
all  other  college  students  of  the    state. 


Every  person  under  the  age  of  iS 
years  and  any  minor  pupil  in  any 
school,  college,  academy  or  university 
who  shall  smoke  or  use  cigarettes,. 
cigars  or  tobacco  on  any  public  road,, 
street,  alley  or  park  or  other  lands  used 
for  public  purposes,  or  in  any  public 
place  of  business  or  amusement,  shall 
be  guilty  of  a  misdemeaner  and  shall 
be  punished  for  each  offense  by  a  fine 
of  not  more  than  ten   dollars. 

The  bill  further  would  impose  a 
fine  of  $100  on  any  person  selling 
cigarettes  containing  anything 
"deleterious  to  health,  other  than  to- 
bacco," and  a  fine  of  $50  for  the  first 
offense  of  selling  to  a  minor,  and  $100 
for  subsequent  offenses,  with  an  alter- 
native of  thirty  days  in   jail. — Maroon.

THE  STEM  TOR. 


LaKe  Forest  Defeats  Wheaton 

Lake  Forest  College  played  the 
return  game  of  basket  ball  with  Wheat- 
on College  on  February  ninth  and  won 
by  the  score  of  thirty-eight  to  thirty- 
five.  Wheaton  started  with  a  rush  and 
scored  eight  points  before  Lake  Forest 
could  locate  the  basket,  but  after  that 
the  men  got  together  and  by  excellent 
team  work  overcame  Wheaton's  lead 
and  ended  the  first  half  four  points 
ahead. 

The  greater  part  of  the  scoring  by 
both  teams  was  done  in  the  second 
half.  Smith  undoubtedly  played  the 
best  game  for  Wheaton.  He  was  fast 
on  the  floor  and  threw  several  difficult 
baskets.  Mackenzie  also  did  good 
work  for  the  visitors,  making  a  large 
part  of  their  score  from  free  throws 
The  game  was  close  au'd  exciting  and 
was  certainly  the  best  that  Lake 
Forest  has  played  this  season  under 
the  A.  A.  U.  rules.

Friday  afternoon  the  women's 
team  added  another  victory  to  their 
record  by  again  defeating  Deerfield 
Township  High  School. 

The  high  school  girls  played  a 
plucky  game  and  made  things  interest- 
ing but  were  outclassed.  The  final 
score  was  26  to  19  in  favor  of  Lake 
Forest. 

BasKet  Ball  Trip 

The  basket  ball  team  started  yes 
terday  morning  on  a  short  trip  through 
Illinois.  Last  night  they  played  Mon- 
mouth College  at  Monmouth  and  to- 
night play  Normal  University  at  Nor- 
mal. Friday  and  Saturday  they  will 
play  Eureka  College  and  Peoria  Y.  M. 
C.  A. 

The  team  took  practicallv  the 
same  trip  last  year  and  was  not  too 
successful,  but  we  hope  for  better  luck 
this  time.  We  have  never  met  Mon- 
mouth before  in  basket  ball.  Eureka 
was  defeated  last  year  and  Peoria  Y. 
M.  C.  A.  won  by  a  narrow  margin. 
As  the  team  has  improved  greatly 
since  then  the  chances  are  good  for 
four  victories. 

Right  half  back  Beyer,  has  been 
elected  captain  of  the  Lawrence  foot- 
ball team.  This  is  the  first  time  that  a 
first  year  student  has  been  captain  of 
the  football  team  at  the  Appleton  In- 
stitution. Beyer  is  also  captain  of  the 
track  team.

Football  Proves  Less  Dangerous 

Eleven  players  were  killed  and  104 
were  injured  in  this  country  during  the 
football  season  of  1906,  according  to 
the  Chicago  "Tribune".  These  figures 
are  compared  with  the  casualities  of 
1905,  when  eighteen  players  were 
killed  and  159  were  severely  injured, 
and  according  to  the  Tribune,  show 
that  "debrutalized"  football  has  accom- 
plished in  a  large  degree  the  object 
aimed  at.  in  rendering  the  game  less 
dangerous  to  life  and  limb. 

The  decrease  in  casualities  is  es- 
pecially marked  among  high  school 
players.  In  the  season  of  1905  eleven 
high  school  players  were  killed  and 
twenty-five  injured. 

All  college  and  high  school  games 
this  year  were  played  under  the  new 
rules  drawn  up  after  the  close  of  last 
season  to  satisfy  the  agitation  for  less 
dangerous  football. 

This  year  not  one  fatality  has  oc- 
curred in  the  games  played  by  the 
greater  American  colleges. 


Professor  B — At  the  German 
Universities  (Heidelberg  for  instance) 
if  a  student  goes  off  on  ?  toot--and  an 
officer  tries  to  incarcerate  him--all  he 
needs  to  do  is  to  present  his  student's 
card  and  the  officer  allows  him    to     go. 

Professor  B,  (half  hour  later) -- 
Well  Gibbs  what  is  the  cause  of  that 
beatific  expression  on  yout   face?" 

Gibbs— Nothing,  I'm  wondering 
what's  the  tuition  at  Heidelberg. 


There  is  no  chance  for  deception 
in  regard  to  Sunday  Church  attend- 
ance at  Princeton.  Students  at  that 
institution  are  required  to  sign  cards, 
provided  for  the  purpose,  and  leave 
them  in  the  hands  of  an  attendant  as 
they  go  out  from  the  services. — Ex.

|The     following    communication     has    been  re- 
ceived] 

Dear  Editor: 

It  was  with  no  little  surprise  that 
the  community  of  Lake  Forest  College 
read  in  the  daily  newspapers  that  the 
faculty  of  our  College  are  not  to  de- 
rive any  of  the  benefits  of  the  Car- 
negie Pension  Fund  for  aged  professors. 
This  is  due  to  the  fact  that  Lake  For- 
estlCollcge  is  a  so-called  denominational 
institution.  Its  affiliation  with  the 
church  is  this:  The  charter  of  the 
College  specifies  that  whenever  a  va- 
cancy on  the  Board  of  Trustees  occurs 
the  nominee  for  such  vacancy  must 
receive  the  sanction  of  the  Presbyteri- 
an Synod  of  the  State  of  Illinois  be- 
fore s.uch  person  is  eligible  to  perform 
the  duties  of  a  trustee  of  the  College. 
In  this  respect  only  is  Lake  Forest 
College  a  denominational  institution, 
and  for  this  fact  only,  the  professors 
of  our  College  who  devote  their  lives 
to  the  education  of  the  youth  must 
suffer  the  pangs  of  poverty  in  their  old 
age. 

It  is  very  evident  that  men  who 
devote  the  best  years  of  their  life  to 
educational  work  are  inadequately 
paid.  Their  occupation  is  such  that 
they  can  never  accumulate  wealth 
enough  to  make  themselves  and  their 
families  comfortable  in  their  old  age 
when  they  are  no  longer  able  to  per- 
form active  work  in  their  profession. 
If,  therefore,  the  patrons  of  our 
college  cannot  endow  it  with  a  pension 
fund  it  would  seem  advisable  even 
necessary  to  have  that  particular  clause 
of  the  charter  stricken  out, and  provide 
for  the  professors  who  have  become 
aged  while  performing  their  faithful 
duties  at  Lake  Forest  College. 

A  Student. 


DAVID    GRAHAM      PHILLIPS     CRITICIZES 
COLLEGES 

"Colleges  and  universities  should 
be  re-organized  so  that  the  students 
should  be  able  to  earn,  and  should  be 
compelled  to  earn  their  own  living 
while  they  are  there." 

So  says  David  Graham  Phillips  in  a 
current  eastern  weekly.  "What  kind 
of  education  is  it"  says  Phillips  "that 
does  not  include  instruction,  practical 
instruction,  in  being  self-supporting 
when  self-support  is  the  basis  of  self- 
respect? 

"Under  the  right  system  of 
thorough  democratic  education,  that 
would  include  every  branch  of  the  de- 
velopment of  intellect  and  character 
and  body,  not  only  would  all  young 
people  go  to  school  all  the  year  around 
but  also  everybody  would  want  to  go. 
Education  would  mean  a  pleasure,  not 
a  bore— as  much  a  pleasure  as  to  eat 
and  breathe.  For  right  education  is 
not  mere  toilsome  preparation  for  life 
but  life  itself.  To  learn  means  to  live, 
to  grow  means  to  enjoy. 

"There  are  less  than  two  hundred 
thousand  students  in  our  colleges  and 
universities;  there  should  be  six  million. 
"Let  us  have  done  with  college 
professors  now  bowing  to  the  posessors 
of  tainted  wealth  in  order  to  get  bene- 
factions. Let  the  people  pay  for  their 
own  education  and  safe-guard  their 
self-respect  and  the  self-respect  of 
their  teachers." — Cardinal. 


C.    R.    McKee,  '01,    was  on  the  cam-

Williams  College  has  organized  a 
Good  Government  club  the  object  of 
which  is  to  place  college  politics  on  a 
clean  and  honest  basis.  This  move-

Did  you  say  what's  the  day? 
March  15th,  1907. 
That's  the  day  of  the  play. 
The  Honeymoon. 

At  vespers,  Sunday  evening,  Miss 
Holt  gave  a  very  interesting  account 
of  Association  House,  in  Chicago, 
and  the  work  accomplished  there  for 
the  working  girls. 

The  Y.  W.  C.  A.  Cabinet  has  gone 
to  work  with  a  vim.  You  will  find  the

shining  and  dish-washing  to  hair- 
washing  and  corn-popping. 

Mr.  Crozier  and  Mr.  Foster  were 
here  to  dinner  Tuesday  evening.  Mr. 
Foster,  who  is  from  Bowdoin  College, 
spoke  to  us  after  dinner  of  Robert 
Louis  Stevenson.  He  brought  us  a 
vivid  picture  of  the  boy  Stevenson 
and  made  us  all  desire  to  make  the 
author  our  personal  friend. 


Several  of  the  parents  visited  their

was  here  Wednesday  and  Thursday;. 
Mrs.  Sprogle  and  Mrs.  Jones,  on  Sat-

Have  you  heard  about  it? 

Well  I  guess. 

Are  you  going? 

Yes,  yes,  yes. 

To  the  Senior  play. 

Friday  afternoon  some  of  the 
Academy  boys  took  a  crowd  of  the 
girls  for  a  sleigh  ride.  They  went  to 
Highland  Park  and  had  lunch  there  be- 
fore returning.  The  girls  in  the  party 
were  Gertrude  Cole,  Ruth  Coyle, 
Selma  Dierssen.  Mabel  Bruner,  Lucile 
Bruen,  Marguerite  Tharp,  Hazel  Jones, 
Henrietta  Magnus,  and  Helen  Chesley. 
Miss  Perkins  chaperoned  the  party. 

Miss  Weeks,  student's  secretary 
of  the  Y.  W.  C.  A,,  came  Tuesday 
morning.  She  met  the  different  com- 
mittees and  the  cabinet,  talking  over 
their  work  and  helping  the  girls  by 
her  suggestions.  She  spoke  in  Chapel 
Wednesday  morning  and  again  in  the 
evening  service.  A  tea  was  given 
for  her  in  the  Association  Room 
Wednesday  afternoon. 

For  the  consolation  of  those  guile- 
less Ferry  Hall-ites  who  mistook  a 
twentieth  century  entertainer  for  a 
genuine  Hindoo  mystic,  and  who  re- 
verted to  childish  vocabulary  that  their 
conversation  might  be  understood,  Mr. 
Rood  sends  this  anecdote.  "At  a  din- 
ner recently  given  by  Mr.  Ira  Morris, 
of  Chicago  in  honor  of  Sir  Thomas 
Lipton,  the  guests  were    introduced  to 


THE  STENTOR

the  Hindoo  juggler,  and  before  the 
entertainment  had  proceeded  Far  the 
titled  sportsman  was  on  his  feet  in 
amazement,  exclaiming  that  this  was 
the  real  thing,  as  he  had  seen  it  in 
India.  Not  until  the  end  of  the  per- 
formance was  he  undeceived.  So  it  is 
not  strange  that  less  distinguished 
audiences  should  be  fooled  too." 

What  is  worth  while, 
And  brings  a  good  smile? 
It's  "The  Honeymoon." 

Next  Friday  evening  will  occur 
the  fourth  number  of  the  Ferry  Hall 
Lecture  Course.  Mr.  William  Sterling 
Battis  will  give  a  lecture  recital  on 
Dicken's  novels.  Mr.  Battis  is  well 
known  on  the  lecture  platform  and  the 
evening's  program  promises  to  be  one 
of  unusual  merit.  The  hour  is  eight 
o'clock,  and  the  price  of  admission 
fifty  cents  for  visitors  and  twenty-five 
cents  for  members  of   the    University 

In  our  state  of  semi-quarantine 
everyone  has  been  so  kind  to  us  and 
tried  to  make  the  time  pass  pleasantly, 
especially  the  Saturdays,  that  the 
experience  has  been  anything  but 
dreary.  Besides  the  anticipation  of 
the  holiday  on  the  Monday  after 
Washington's  birthday  we  have  had 
some  surprise,  on  two  Saturdays, 
planned  by  Miss  Hughes.  Then  last 
Saturday  Mr.  Crosby,  although  living 
in  the  city  and  not  in  such  close  touch 
with  us,  thought  of  us  and  planned  a 
sleigh  ride  for  our  enjoyment.  It  was 
certainly  a  delightful  ride,  and  we  are 
grateful  to  Mr,  Crosby  for  the  kind- 
ness and  thought  which  prompted  it 
as  well  as  for  the  fun  we  had. 

Monday  evening  there  was  an  open 
meeting  of  the  Lyric  and  Dramatic 
Club.  A  nominating  committee  con- 
sisting of  Cora  Lane,  Phoebe  Crabtree, 


and  Maud  Elson,  with  Miss  Elson  as

"The  wedding  of  Mr.  Wm.  Northrop 
Carter  and  Miss  Margaret  Mount  was 
solemnized  Saturday,  February  2d,  in 
St.  John's  Universalist  Church,  Joliet. 
As  over  seven  hundred  invitations 
were  sent  out,  the  church  was  well 
filled  with  spectators.  The  decorations 
were  pink  and  white,  the  pulpit  was  a 
mass  of  palms,  ferns  and  carnations, 
making  a  foxy  place  in  which  to  have 
the  knot  tied.  At  seven  thirty  the 
bridal  party  arrived  and  to  the  tune 
of  Wagner's  wedding  march  proceeded 
to  the  altar,  where  the  brief  ceremony 


was  performed.  Mrs.  P.  D.  Sextor. 
was  matron  of  honor,  and  Mr.  N.  P. 
Red  Yeomans  as  best  man  helped  the 
groom  keep  up  his  nerve. 

"After  the  ceremony  the  bride  and 
groom  received  congratulations  from 
their  friends  at  the  bride's  home  on  3d

LAKE  FOREST  ALUMNI  MEET  IN  NEW  YORK 

We  have  the  following  clipping 
from  the  New  York. Sun,  of  Feb.  16th, 
touching  the  meeting  of  the  New  York- 
Lake  Forest  Alumni  Association  held 
in  that  city  last  Friday  evening.  A 
full  account  of  the  meeting  will  appear 
in  the  next  week's  issue. 

"A  number  of  the  New  York  sons 
and  daughters  of  Lake  Forest  College 
sang  of  'training  brain  and  raising  Cain 
and  finding  life  sublime,'  in  their  col- 
lege days,  at  the  fourth  annual  dinner 
held  last  night  at  the  Hotel  Astor. 

"Theodore  Starrett,  '84,  president 
of  the  New  York  Graduates'  Associa- 
tion, acted  as  toastmaster.     Dr.  John  J. 


the  Grand  March  takes  place  promptly 
at  seven  by  the  clock,  under  the  leader- 
ship of  Mr.  J.  H.  McCrea  and  Miss 
Minnie  Hendy.  The  unexpected  is 
scheduled  to  happen  during  the 
George  Washington  extra.  At  least 
sixty  couples  art  expected  to  attend* 
a  goodly  number  of  whom  are  to  be 
Alumni.  Acting  President  Halsey  and 
wife,  Mr.  William  Mather  Lewis  and 
wife,  Miss  Hughes,  Miss  Denise  and 
Mr.  Paul  So  aimers,  president  of  the 
Junior  Class,  will  receive. 

No  pains  have  been  spared  to 
make  this  the  most  enjoyable  affair  of 
the  year. 


Halsey,  acting  president  of  the  institu- 
tion, came  all  the  way  from  Illinois  • 
to  report  that  'the  best  lot  of  students 
Lake  Forest  ever  had  is  now  hard  at 
work.'  Dr.  Halsey  said  that  in  the 
West  there  is  a  reaction  in  favor  of  the 
small  college.  He  reported  four  new 
buildings  at  Lake  Forest,  being  con- 
structed or  about  to  be.  One  is  a 
chemistry  laboratory,  the  gift  of  An- 
drew Carnegie.  His  ideal  for  the  col- 
lege, he  said,  was  a  roll  of  students  250 
in  number,  with  30  per  cent,  women, 
without  whom  he  has  no  use  for  the  in- 
stitution. Mrs.  L.  W.  Bates,  a  member 
of  the  class  of  '80,  the  first  class  gradu- 
ated, told  of  the  college  in  her  time."

PROMINENT 


ALUMNUS      BECOMING 
AS   A    COMPOSER 


In  a  recent  issue  we  noted  the  fact 
that  W.  H.  Humiston,  '91,  is  theauthor 
of  a  recent  musical  composition  of 
importance,  which  was  produced  for 
the  first  time  in  New  York  on  Febru- 
ary 1st,  by  the  People's  Symphony 
Orchestra,  under  Mr.  Aren's,  conduct- 
ing. The  new  composition  has  been 
very  favorably  noticed,  not  only  in 
the  New  York  newspapers,  but  in  the 
musical  press,  and  we  hope  that  before 
long  the  opportunity  will  be  given  to 
hear  it  in  Chicago.  We  print  below  a 
criticism  of  Mr.  Humiston's  work  from 
the  New  York  Evening  Post,  of  Satur- 
day, February  2nd,  and  extend  to  Mr. 
Humiston  cordial  congratulations  that 
he  should  have  done  such  honor  to 
himself  and  to  Lake  Forest. 

"  The  'Southern  Fantasy'  proved 
to  be  a  composition  in  the  vein  of 
Dvorak's  'New  World'Symphony,  inas- 
much as  it  harkens  back  to  plantation 
song,  particularly  as  exemplified  by 
the  great  American  folk-song  writer, 
Stephen  Foster.  There  are  only  two 
short  themes  borrowed  from  these 
sources,  however — one  of  five  notes 
with  a  strong  syncopation,  and  another 
consisting  of  the  first  bar  only  of  the 
prelude  to  Foster's  'Angelina  Baker,' 
with  the  first  note  changed.  This  is 
used  thematically.  The  principal 
theme,  however,  is  original,  and  is 
even  superior  to  the  borrowed  material. 
It  is  a  slow,  broad  melody,  sung  first 
by  the  English  horn  and  afterwards 
taken  up  by  the  strings.  The  com- 
poser intended  it  to  express  longing — 
not  the  yearning  of  the  slave  for  free- 
dom, but  the  longing  of  the  thoughtful 
young  American  who  looks  into  the 
future  with  a  vague  desire  to  serve  his 
country.  The  composition  rises  to  an 
impressive     climax,    representing   the 


'irrepressible    confict'     and      also     the 
strenuous  side  of  American  life. 

Mr.  Humiston  is  a  native  of  Ohio. 
He  studied  with  Clarence  Eddy  and 
Edward  MacDowell,  and  he  is  an 
excellent  organist.  This  first.-work;of ' 
his  proves  that  he  has  made  good  use 
his  opportunities:  It  shows  a  thorough 
command  of  the  technic  of  composition; 
his  form  is  clear  and  logical,  his  coun- 
terpoint fluent  and  significant;  his 
orchestration  beautiful  and  appropri- 
ate, the  melody  spontaneous,  and  har- 
monization interesting  and  agreeably 
free  from  cacophony.  In  a  word,  the 
'Southern  Fantasy'  is  the  work  of  a 
young  man  who  has  evidently  a  bright 
career  before  him.  The  audience 
thought  so  most  decidedly,  for  it  called 
him  out  four  times.  Carnegie  Hall 
was  crowded. 


DR 


MOFFAT,    MISSIONARY     TO     KOREA, 
SPEAKS  AT    VESPER   SERVICE 


The  Rev.  Dr.  Moffat,  who  has 
been  for  seventeen  years  missionary 
to  Korea,  addressed  the  students  at 
Vespers  Sunday  afternoon  upon  the 
work  to  which  he    has    given    his    life. 

The  yellow  race  is  greatly  under 
estimated,  according  to  the  speaker. 
They  are  not  a  stupid  people,  but  they 
are  our  equals  in  mental  capacity  and 
discipline.  They  are  merely  unin- 
formed. Here  is  the  greatest  field  for 
Christian  Missions. 

The  Missions  are  getting  a  great 
hold  upon  the  people  of  Korea. 
Many  of  the  most  capable  men,  men 
of  the  scholar  class,  men  of  the  ruling 
class,  are  doing  everything  in  their 
power  for  the  advancement  of  the 
cause  of  Christ  in  their  country. 
Schools  for  women  and  girls  ,  (for

THE  STENTOR 


BASKETBALL  TRIP  A  SUCCESS. 


Lake  Forest — 37 


Eureka  College — 36 


Team    Loses    But   One    Gam*. 

The  trip  taken  by  the  basketball 
team  last  week  was  a  decided  success. 

Lake  Forest  won  the  first  three  of 
the  four  games  played  and  with  the 
team  crippled  by  the  loss  of  Russell 
Scott  at  center  and  injuries  to  the 
other  men,  lost  a  well  played  game  to 
the  Peoria  Y.  M.  C.  A.  team  which 
claims  the  championship  of  Central 
Illinois. 

Judging  from  all  reports  the  men 
played  well  at  all  times  and  left  good 
(impressions  where  they  went.

The  following  clippings  were 
taken  from  papers  published  in  the 
towns  the  team  visited: 

Normal,  Illinois — "The  game  was 
the  fastest  that  has  been  played  on  the 
local  floor  for  years.  The  team  work 
of  the  visiting  team  was  a  feature  of 
the  game  and  although  Normal  worked 
hard  and  consistently  they  were  un- 
able to   cope    with   their   adversaries." 

From  Peoria — "Eureka  has  one  of 
the  best  teams  in  this  part  of  the 
state  and  to  defeat  them  on  their 
home  grounds  is  a  little  more  than  the 
average  team  expects  to  do."

"Lake  Eorest,  reputed  to  be  the 
best  college  basket  ball  team  in  the 
west,  should  furnish  one  of  the  best 
basket  ball  ^ames  of  the  season.  The 
Lake  Forest  aggregation  still  has  on 
its  line-up  the  two  Scotts,  who  are 
famous  in  College  athletic  circles." 
Team  Disbands 

Because  of  the  loss  of  Russell 
Scott  at  center  and  as  Mather,  Callahan 
and  captain  Louis  Scott  will  be  unable 
to  play  for  some  time  because  of  in- 
juries received  while  on  the  trip, 
Coach  Bradstreet  has  decided  to  dis- 
band the  basket  ball  team. 

The  games  with  Northwestern 
College  and  Lewis  Institute  will  be 
cancelled. 

Successful  Season  Ended 

The  basket  season  just  ended  has 
been  the  most  successful  one  in  the 
history  of  the  college.  But  two  games 
have  been  lost  and  one  of  these  to  a 
crack  V.  M.  C.  A.  team. 

It  is  unfortunate  that  the  team 
must  disband  at  this  time,  as  there  are 
but  two  games  remaining  on  the 
schedule  and  should  these  games  have 
been  played  and  won,  Lake  Forest 
would  have  had  a  just  claim  to  the 
championship  of  the  smaller  colleges 
of  the  state. 

However  under  the  present  condi- 
tions it  would  be  impossible  to  put  a 
representative  team  on  the  floor.

are  shown  below.

John's  Military  Academy  last  Saturday 
in  a  well-fought  game  With  the  ex- 
ception of  one  man's  "dirty"  work  the 
game  was  clean  and  fast.  St.  John's 
supremacy  lay  in  their  ability  to  shoot 
goals  from  the  field,  at  which  art  one 
of  their  men,  Young,  was  a  star,  having 
ten  goals  to  his  credit.  The  Academy 
was  deficient  in  this  particular  as  they 
are  suffering  from  the  temporary  in- 
jury of  Taylor,  their  star  forward. 
McCoy  and  Hotchkin  played  the  best

the  best  yet.  It  was  an  unparalleled 
success-socially.  And  financially?  Ask 
Joe  Mc.  The  prom  committee  are  to 
be  commended  upon  the  aesthetic  taste 
that  they  displayed  in  decorating  the 
Art  Institute.  Never  since  it  has  stood 
has  the  inside  looked  so  pretty.  The 
large  hall  was  decorated  everywhere 
with  the  colors  of  the  class — purple  and 
white.  These  colors  were  strung  in  al- 
ternating triangular  penants  from  the 
walls  to  the  center  of  the  ceiling,  mak- 
ing a  canopy  overhead.  The  stage  was 
hidden  by  two  rows  of  large  palms.  Here 
and  there  were  evergreens,  ferns  and 
sprigs  of  spring  verdure  that  lent  an 
atmosphere  of  a  "Fruhlingsfest"  to  the 
occasion.  The  reception  hall  was  un- 
recognizable.     In  the  center  there  was 


a  grove  of  palms  beneath  and  about 
which  were  rustic  benches,  which 
worked  wonders  in  dispelling  fatigue 
from  the  strenuous  promenaders  when- 
ever they  sat  down  there  between  the 
dances.  The  steps  leading  to  the  gal- 
lery were  one  mass  of  pillows,  and  they 
also  assisted  the  benches  in  providing 
the  revellers  with  excellent  places  for 
delightful  tete-a-tetes. 

At  intervals  of  eight  feet  or  so.over 
doors,  on  posts  and  in  corners  the  let- 
ters of  the-alphabet  were  tacked.  These 
were  the  means  of  a  great  innovation 
in  the  directing  of  the  prom,  and 
helped  matters  wonderfully  well  in 
finding  one's  next  partner.  As  soon 
as  the  music  commenced  for  the  next 
number  on  the  programme,  the  young 
ladies  would  be  escorted  beneath  that 
letter  which  formed  the  initial  of  their 
last  name.  Here  the  cavalier  would 
find  his  partner  for  the  next  dance 
coyly  awaiting  his  approach,  without 
his  usual  running  about  in  trying  to 
locate  her. 

Mr.  Joe  McCrea  and  Miss  Minnie 
Hendy  led  the  grand  march  and  about 
seventy-five  other  gorgeously  attired 
couples  followed  in  their  wake  as  they 
performed  serpentine  gyrations  about 
the  floor  to  the  impressive  Wagnerian 
march  music  of  ■  Hand's  orchestra. 
There  were  twenty-four  numbers  on 
the  program  (which  by  the  way  was  a

On  the  second  extra — the  George 
Washington  extra — the  ladies  received 
beautiful  favors — little  George  Wash- 
ington's Cherry  Tree  hatchets  out  of 
which  could  be  pulled  fan-shaped 
American  flags. 

This  prom  though  formal  and 
thoroughly  "prom"-ish  was  remarkable 
for  the  exceptional  democratic  spirit 
that  seem  to  exist  everywhere.  We 
seemed  to  know  one  another  and  im- 
pressed the  visitors  that  at  Lake  For- 
est we  are  one  great  family  and  that 
the  prom  is  our  annual  reunion. 

The  company  did  not  cease  their 
revelry  until  midnight  and  on  leaving 
everyone  felt  a  sort  of  satisfaction  of 
having  spent  an  evening  of  thorough 
enjoyment  and  that  the  class  of  1908 
had  scored  a  great  social   triumph. 


THE  ORATORICAL  CONTEST, 

The  Oratorical  Contest  for  the  se- 
lection of  an  orator  to  represent  us  in 
the  Northern  Illinois  Oratorical  League 
Contest  this  spring,  was  held  in  the 
Chapel  at  three  o'clock  on  Wednesday. 
February  20th.  Only  three  men  out 
■of  at  least  three  times  that  number 
whose  orations  had  been  accepted,  took 
part  in  the  contest.  O.  E.  Thompson 
spoke  on  "Good  Citizenship,"  Keithley 
on  "Labor  and  Education,"  and  Mun- 
ger  on  "The  Disadvantage  of  Riches," 
Munger  winning  first  place,  and  conse" 
•quently  being  awarded  the  fifteen-dol- 
lar Oratorical  Prize,  and  being  chosen 
as  the  orator  to  represent  Lake  Forest 
in  the  league  contest.

THE    NEW   YORK-LAKE    FOREST    ALUMNI 
BANQUET. 

The  Alumni  Dinner  at  the  New 
Astor  Hotel  in  New  York  City,  on  the 
night  of  February  15th,  was  a  most 
successful  and  enthusiastic  affair.  The 
usual  number  of  the  alumni  gathered 
in  to  talk  about  the  old  days  and  to 
hear  about  present  conditions  at  Lake 
Forest.  The  present  day  at  Lake  For- 
est was  presented  in  short  addresses  by 
Acting  President  Halsey  for  the  Col- 
lege, Headmaster  William  M.  Lewis 
for  the  Academy,  and  Mr.  Robert  H. 
Crozier,  in  the  absence  of  any  special 
representative,  for  Ferry  Hall. 

The  encouraging  conditions  at 
Lake  Forest,  due  to  the  loyalty  and 
work  of  the  student  body  and  to  the 
prospect  of  the  speedy  realization  of 
the  new  buildings  on  the  campus  hav- 
ing been  disposed  of,  various  members 
of  the  alumni  circle  were  called  upon 
to  speak,  and,  reminiscing  of  old 
times,  spoke  of  their  present  interest 
in  the  institution  which  they  love- 
Mrs.  Lindon  M.  Rates,  of  the  class  of 
'80,  spoke  a  few  words  in  a  most  beau- 
tiful manner  with  reference  to  the  con- 
nection between  the  past  and  the 
present.  She  was  followed  by  Dr. 
Franklin  C.  Wells,  class  of  '80  of  the 
Academy,  of  New  York  City;  the  Rev. 
William  T.  Elsing,  class  of  '75  of  the 
Academy,  of  New  York  City;  President 
Calvin  H.  French,  of  Huron  College, 
South  Dakota,  class  of  '88  of  the  Col- 
lege; William  B.  Brewster,  class  of  '92, 
and  William  C.  Eakins,  class  of  '93. 

One  of  the  interesting  features  of 
the  speaking  was  a  word  from  a  recent 
graduate  of  Williams  College,  who 
most  happily  brought  out  the  strong 
points  of  the  small  college.  This  was 
largely  the  theme  of  the  evening  and 
the  conviction  on  the  part  of  all  those 
who   were    anything   to    Lake    Forest

College  that  the  small  college  has  its 
abiding  place  in  the  work  of  education, 
was  made  very  manifest  throughout  the 
evening. 

The  alumni  of  New  York  send  greet- 
ings to  the  Faculty  and  students  of 
Lake  Forest  College,  expressing  their 
love  for  the  institution,  and  their  faith 
in  its  future. 

Mr.  Theodore  Starrett,  of  the 
class  of '84,  was  a  most  snccessful  toast- 
master,  and  Mr.  Charles  G.  Smith,  who 
has  been  heart  and  soul  of  the  New 
York  Association,  was  present  but 
could  not  be  induced  to  speak.  He 
speaks  in  deeds. 


CHICAGO     ALUMNI     CLUB    TO  HOLD 
BANQUET. 

The  Chicago  Club  of  the  Lake 
Forest  Alumni  will  give  its  annual 
banquet  on  Saturday  evening,  March 
2,  in  the  rooms  of  the  Grand  Pacific 
Hotel.  Besides  the  alumni,  members 
of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  of  the 
Faculty,  and  the  men  of  the  Senior 
Class  will  be  present.  The  Glee  Club 
Double  Quartet  is  to  furnish  part  of 
the  music.  Preparations  have  been 
made  to  render  this  the  best  affair  of 
its  kind  for  some  years. 


RELIGIOUS    MEETINGS. 

The  religious  meetings  of  the  week 
conducted  by  Dr.  Boyle  and  Dr.  Shaw 
have  been  well  worth  while.  They 
have  not  been  pervaded  by  the  ordi- 
nary emotional  atmosphere  and  should 
consequently  have  some  lasting  effects. 
Dr.  Boyle  addressed  the  students  at 
chapel  on  Tuesday;  Dr.  Shaw  on 
Wednesday;  Dr.  Shaw  will  also  ad- 
dress the  Y.  W.  and  Y.  M.  C.  A.  meet- 
ings tonight.  Some  of  the  students 
have  been  assisting  in  the  singing  at 
the  other  meetings. 


WASHINGTON'S  BIRTHDAY  SERVICE. 

The  annual  Washington's  Birthday 
Service  was  held  in  Reid  Memorial 
Chapel  at  ten  o'clock  Friday  morning. 
Very  much  to  the  chagrin  and  disap- 
pointment of  Professor  Halsey,  who 
had  taken  great  pains  to  advertise  the 
service  among  the  students  and  towns- 
people, the  speaker  of  the  morning, 
Jenkin  Lloyd  Jones,  failed  to  appear. 
Mr.  Jones  had  been  scheduled  to  speak 
somewhere  in  Michigan  on  the  day 
previous  and  he  missed  connections  in 
returning.  Professor  Halsey,  however,. 
in  order  not  to  dismiss  tne  audience 
without  some  commemoration  of  the 
day  and  very  acceptably  to  the  audi- 
ence, read  Lowell's  great  ode,  "Under 
the  Old  Elm."  The  double  quartette 
led  the  singing. 

We  hope  we  may  yet  have  the 
privelege  of  hearing  Mr.  Jones. 


Y.  M.  C.  A 

One  of  the  best  meetings  of  the 
year  was  that  of  last  Thursday  even- 
ing. Mr.  Hardy  conducted  the  meet- 
ing, speaking  on  the  subject  of  "Selfish- 
ness," a  subject  which  cannot  be  too 
often  repeated.  When  Abraham  and 
Lot  divived  their  common  substance, 
Lot 'chose  selfishly,  Abraham  unsel- 
fishly. It  is  this  same  sin  that  consti- 
tutes one  of  the  great  evils  of  college 
life  today.  The  college  student  is  con- 
stantly tempted  to  selfishness  and  far 
too  often  he  does  not  resist  that 
temptation. 


Residents  of  Whittier  Hall,  the 
Dormitory  of  Teachers  College,  Co- 
lumbia University,  are  protesting 
against  a  rule  which  says  all  girls  under 
twenty-five  years  of  age  must  obtain 
permission  before  they  can  stay  out 
later  than  8  p.  m.

THE  ST  EN TOR 


BOARD  OF  CONTROL  MEETING 


BasKethall  Monograms  Awarded 

At  a  meeting  of  the  board  of  control 
held  on  February  the  nineteenth  bas- 
ketball monograms  were  awarded  to 
Louis  Scott,  '09;  Callahan,  '08;  Russell 
Scott,  '09;  Mather,  '10,  and  Stoltz,  '10. 
With  the  exception  of  the  last  game, 
in  which  Russell  Scott  was  unable  to 
play,  these  five  men  played  through 
every  game  during  the  season.  The 
■only  substitution  was  made  in  this  last 
game  when  Mather  went  to  center  and 
Keck  took  his  place  at  forward. 

More  Candidates  Needed   for  Baseball. 

Now  that  the  basketball  season 
'has  closed  indoor  practice  for  baseball 
and  track  is  being  pushed.  We  have 
an  excellent  baseball  coach  who  will 
be  here  until  the  middle  of  March,  but 
not  enough  men  are  taking  advantage 
of  this  opportunity  to  learn  the  game 
thoroughly  and  even  the  old  men  are 
not  coming  out  regularly  for  practice. 

Anyone  that  has  followed  baseball 
here  can  easily  remember  some  game 
that  Lake  Forest  has  lost  through  a 
slight  error  in  play,  and  some  of  these 
have  been  made  by  our  best  men.  In 
order  to  eliminate  as  nearly  as  possi- 
ble these  inexcusable  mistakes  it  is 
oiecessary  for  every  candidate  to  attend 
practice  regularly. 

The   time     for    baseball    practice 


which  has  been  from  one  to  three 
every  afternoon  was  changed  to  from 
three  to  five  o'clock  on  Monday, 
Wednesday  and  Friday.  Gymnasium 
classes  will  be  from  five  until  six  and 
because  of  the  short  time  allowed  Mr. 
Rradstreet  wishes  the  men  to  be  ready 
to  go  on  the  floor  promptly  at  five 
o'clock. 

Mr.  Faulkinburg  knows  the  game 
from  beginning  to  end  and  moreover 
he  can  teach  it,  so  that  if  Lake  Forest 
does  not  turn  out  a  championship  team 
this  spring  it  should  be  because  of  the 
lack  of  material  and  not  because  the 
players  have  failed  to  take  advantage 
of  the  coaching  offered. 

THE  LAKE    FOREST-NORMAL   GAME 

(As  Seen    by  Our    Normal  Correspondent,) 

The  following  excerpt  from  the 
Illinois  State  Normal  Vedette  de- 
scribes the  Lake  Forest  Normal  game 
from  the  standpoint  of  our  friend,  the 
enemy: 

It  was  the  fastest  game  that  has 
been  played  on  the  University  floor  in 
recent  years.  The  game  last  year  with 
Wheaton  was  considered  a  very  good 
game,  but  it  cannot  be  compared  with 
the  one  played  last  week  with  Lake 
Forest.  The  team  work  of  the  visit- 
ing team  was  the  best  that  could  be 
hoped  for.  There  seemed  to  be  a 
man  ready  to  catch  the  ball   wherever

New  Buildings 
Practically  Secured! 

The  students  and  friends  of  the 
college  have  long  been  in  suspense 
over  the  question  of  an  endowment 
fund.  Are  the  conditions  upon  which 
■depend  the  erection  of  three  more 
new  buildings  to  be  fulfilled? 

It  was  hinted  in  last  week's  brief 
account  of  the  New  York  Alumni  Din- 
ner that  those  conditions  were  near- 
ing  realization.  This  week  we  have 
been  assured  that  those  conditions  are 
being  met,  and  that  the  second  Black- 
stone  Hall,  the  Durand  Commons,  and 
the  Carnegie  Science  Hall  are  practi- 
cally ours. 


We  hope  within  a  very  short  time 
to  make  a  formal  announcement  of  the 
securing  of  these  buildings. 

The  Oratorical  Contest. 

Last  week  Lake  Forest  held  a  con- 
test for  the  selection  of  a  man  t<» 
represent  her  in  the  contest  of  the 
Northern  Illinois  Oratorical  League, 
of  which  Lake  Forest  is  a  member. 
Out  of  considerably  over  a  hundred 
men,  only  three  took  part  in  that  con- 
test. There  were,  to  be  sure,  some 
eight  or  ten  orations  submitted,  all  of 
which  were  given  a  place  in  the  con- 
test. But  the  fact  remains  that  only 
three  men  saw  fit  hoth  to  submit  and 
deliver  their  orations. 

Such  a  condition  of  affairs  in  this, 
a  so-called,  literary  college,  can 
scarcely  be  too  severely  criticised. 
Lake  Forest  has  not  as  yet  won  a 
single  first  place  in  the  Northern  Illi- 
nois League  Contests.  Indeed  how 
can  she  expect  to,  if  the  interest  in 
oratory  is  so  low  as  it  would  seem. 
We  who,  for  selfish  reasons,  stayed  out 
of  the  contest,  ought  to  be  heartily 
ashamed  of  ourselves.  A  literary  col- 
lege!— and  three  entries  in  an  oratori- 
cal contest — !  !  ! 


On  another  page  of  this  issue  ap- 
pears a  clipping  from  the  Vedette,  the 
organ  of  the  Northern  Illinois  State 
Normal,  and  in  it  is  a  testimanial  to  the 
character  of  our  team  that  means  more 
than  the  mere  victory  won.  Proud  as 
we  are  of  the  winning  ability  of  our 
basket  ball  team,  we  are  prouder  yet 
of  its  conduct  away  from  home.  It  is 
just  another  exhibition  of  that  which  is 
finest  in  our  College  spirit:  fairness, 
good  sportsmanship,  and  gentlemanli- 
ness.  That  spirit  has  won,  and  will 
win,  for  us  more  real  friends  than  the 
ability  to  win  games  can  do.

cerning the  Inter-society  Debate. 
We  have  it  officially  that  Mr.  Palmer 
was  unanimously  given  first  place  by 
the  judges,  and  that  forty-five  dollars 
was  the  prize  distributed  equally 
among  the  members  of  the  winning

JUDSON  ELECTED  PRESIDENT  OF    CHICA- 
GO UNIVERSITY. 

Acting  President  Harry  Pratt  Jud- 
son  of  the  University  of  Chicago  was 
elected  President  by  the  trustees  of 
that  institution  Wednesday,  Febru- 
ary 20th.  He  had  served  as  acting 
president  ever  since  the  death  of  Presi- 
dent Harper,  and  filled  the  position  so 
adequately  that  the  trustees,  after  thor- 
oughly canvassing  the  field,  did  not 
give  any  other  candidate  serious  con- 
sideration. 

The  election  of  Dr  Judson  has  the 
complete  approval  of  John  D.  Rocke- 
feller, the  founder  of  the  university. 
Although  there  had  been  no  warning 
of  the  election  in  university  circles,  its 
result  was  not  unexpected.  It  has 
been  believed  for  some  time  that  Dr. 
Judson,  who  took  the  burden  of  ad- 
ministrative work  oft"  President  Har- 
per's shoulders  during  the  year  of  his 
last  illness,  and  who  has  since  directed 
all  the  university's  affairs,  would  be  the 
man. 

When  interviewed  by  the  press  he 
declined  to  make  any  lengthy  state- 
ment, merely  saying: 

"I  deeply  appreciate  the  high  honor 
which  has  been  given  me,  and  shall  do 
my  best  to  be  worthy  of  it.  Th~  ap- 
pointment means  more  to  me,  however, 
than  a  mere  honor — it  means  an  oppor- 
tunity to  do  some  valuable  work,  and  I 
shall  try  to  realize  it  to  the  fullest." 


WESTERN  AND  EASTERN  COLLEGE 
JOURNALISM. 

The  following  cutting  from  the 
Chicago  Evening  Post  of  Feb.  21.,  has 
an  added  significance  in  view  of  our 
own  "Prom."  of  last  week: — 

"It  was  a  painful  duty  recently  to 
print  in  this  department  the  mawkish 
bit  of  high-flown  sentimentalism  which 
the  Yale  News  perpetrated  as  an  edi- 
torial upon  the  junior  prom.  The 
Harvard  Lampoon  does  the  same  thing 
breathing  a  fervid  thanks  that  even  the 
Harvard  Crimson  has  never  descended 
to  such  depths.  By  way  of  contrast  to 
the  New  Haven  effort  it  is  interesting 
to  record  the  prom,  editorial  of  the 
Wisconsin  Sphinx: 

"The  Sphinx  looks  with  a  motherly 
smile  on  Archibald  and  Chisie  as  they 
blossom  out  of  the  hack  and  plunge  in- 
to the  gym  jam  on  the  night  of  Feb. 
15,  with  Archibald  treading  pigeon- 
toed  on  the  emperean  in  ecstacy,  so  to 
speak,  and  Chrisie  shyly  fluffing  out 
her  coiffure  which  is  mussed  on  one 
side. 

"Then  Chrisie  vanishes  a  minute  to- 
peel  her  silk-lined  chrysalis:  and  she 
presently  flutters  out  into  the  Real 
Thing,  biffing  a  last  recalcitrant  hairpin 
into  place.  And,  as  she  holds  a  glad 
little  individual  reunion  with  Archibald 
previous  to  gliding  out  onto  the  illimit- 
able glassy  rink  (which  has  been  lov- 
ingly waxed  by  Pete  Rehm  with  his 
own  fair  hands),  the  Sphinx  gives  them 
an  old-wife's  blessing,  "Gesundheit,. 
kidoes." 

"Good  eye,  Archibald.  It  is  up  to- 
you  to  give  her  a  one-best  glorious 
time,  for  she'll  only  be  here  a  little 
while,  and  she's  going  to  live  on  the 
memory  of  it  for  many  weary  moons, 
back  in  New  Athens,  Wis.  So,  go 
some,    Archie.     Moreover!       A    tight-

then  followed  two-steps,  walzes  and

COLLEGE  WORLD 

Iowa  College  is  to  have  a  Senior 
Alumni    pin     of     uniform     design    for 

each  succeeding  Senior  class.  The 
idea  is  worth  at  least  our  considera- 
tion. 

It  seems  highly  probable  that  Dr. 
Edward  D.  Eaton,  formerly  president 
of  Beloit  College,  will  resume  that 
position.  A  semi-official  announce- 
ment   to  that    effect    has    been    made. 

Harvard  won  the  seventeenth  an- 
nual debate  with  Yale.  The  question* 
was,  "Resovled,  That  further  restriction 
of  immigration  is  undesirable."  Har- 
vard supported  the  negative. 

The  Students  of  Cincinnati  Uni- 
versity have  organized  a  University 
Club,  composed  of  "the  presiding 
officers  of  recognized  University 
organizations,"  whose  object  is  to  en- 
courage student  enterprises,  to  foster 
college  spirit  in  the  student  body,  and 
in  every  proper  way  to  further  the 
interests  and  welfare  of  the  University 
of  Cincinnati. 

Dr.  Chan  Kam  To,  L.  L.  D.,  of 
Yale,  stood  highest  at  the  resent  exam- 
ination held  at  Pekin  by  the  Imperial 
Board  of  Examiners  for  the  degree  of 
L.  L.  D.  Of  the  thirty-two  candidates 
who  took  the  examination,  the  nine 
who  stood  highest  were  admitted  to 
membership  in  the  Imperial  Literary 
Academy,  the  greatest  literary  distinc-

F.  W.  Crosby  member  of  the  Board  of 
Trustees,  members  of  the  faculty,  and 
of  the  Senior  Class,  and  the  Double 
Quartet — a  company  of  sixty  in  all. 

After  a  bounteous  dinner,  its 
courses  interluded  with  bursts  of  song 
from  the  Double  Oua/tet,  the  follow- 
ing toasts  were  answered,  and  songs 
sung: 


Toasfmaster 


Clifford    H,   Williams,  'o: 


"Up  and  down,  up  and  down. 
I  will  lead  them  up  and  down." 

Song,  Campus  Melodies       -       College  Octette' 
"Thou  hast  no  sorrow  in  thy  song 
No  winter  in  thy  year." 

Lake  Forest's  Sons       -       John  H.   S.  Lee,  '95 
"Look  to  thy  purse  and  cloak,  a  lawyer's  near" 

The  Outlook  -  Acting  President  John  J.  Halsey 

"What  is  yours  is  mine, 
And  all  mine  is  yours" 

Song,    To  the  Sons   of  Lake  Forest 

College  Octette 
"Strong  are  her  sons,  though  rocky  are  her  shores' 

Undergraduate  Gropings  -   Ernest  Palmer,  07 
"Many  a  seeming  jest  is  in  Ernest" 

Song,  "Hail !  Lake  Forest !     -    College  Octette 

"A  song  for  our  banner,   the   watch-word  recall" 

Small  Colleges,  Good   and  Bad 

Professor  J.  M.  Clapp 

"Let  school-taught  pride  dissemble  all  it  can, 
These  little  things  are  great  to  little  man" 


Alma  Mater 


Omnes 


"The  love  and  friends  of  Alma  Mater. 
Our  richest  treasure  shall  remain" 


The  speeches  of  the  evening  were 
those  of  Acting  President  Halsey  and 
IJrofessor  Clapp.  The  immediate  out- 
look for  Lake  Forest,  according  to  Dr. 
Halsey,  is  very  bright.  We  have  lost 
from  the  faculty  two  noble  men,  in  the 
persons  of  Professors  Dawson  and 
Xeedham,  but  we  are  confident  in  the 
ability  of  the  men  who  are  to  fill  their 
places.  *  *  *  The  students  are 
contented  and  loyal,  and  the  faculty 
is  better  united  than  it  has  been  for 
many  years.  A  good  ball  team,  and  an 
excellent  glee  club  are  in  sight.  *  * 
We  are  developing  materially, 
we  hare  secured  the  buildings  that  have 
been  promised,  and  we  have  just  got 
into  touch  with  the  Secretary  of  the 
General  Board  of  I^ducation,  who  has  a 
large  sum  to  distribute  among  the  col- 
leges of  the  country.  *  *  *  There 
has  been  a  real  religious  quickening 
among  the  students,  as  a  result  of  the 
meetings  held  by  Dr.  Shaw  and  Dr. 
Boyle.  *  *  *  We  want  and  we  ex- 
pect to  get  a  new  head  for  the  institu- 
tion— old  enough  and  experienced: 
enough  to  take  the  work  upon  his 
shoulders,  and  young  enough  to  stay 
for  twenty  years. 

Professor  Clapp  treated  an  old 
subject  in  a  new  way.  As  for  the 
small  college,  "its  excuse  for  being,"' 
rests  upon  a  business  principle.  No 
university  can   give    the    ground    work

that  the  small  college  does.  But  the 
bad  small  college,  and  there  are  many 
of  them  in  the  West,  is  the  curse  of 
the  land.  A  small  college  that  it  may 
have  the  right  of  existence,  must  be  of 
the  highest  quality:  it  must  have  good 
teachers,  good  equipment  and  good 
raw  material.  *  *  The 

late  President  Harper  of  Chicago  Uni- 
versity started  with  modest  plans.  He 
was  told  that  if  he  would  get  the  aid  of 
Chicago  business  men  he  must  make  it 
the  best  in  the  land.  He  acted  on  the 
suggestion  and  we  have  the  present 
university.  Draper,  formerly  of  the 
University  of  Illinois,  once  asked  the 
state  legislature  for  a  modest  sum. 
Governor  Altgeld  told  him  to  make  it 
five  times  as  large — the  growth  of  these 
two  universities  within  the  past  ten 
years  is  the  wonder  of  the  nation. — 
We  must  make  Lake  Eorest  the  com- 
plement of  these  institution.  We  must 
make  it  not  a  good,  but  the  best,  small 
college  in  the  West.  *  * 

For  president  we  want,  and  we  de- 
serve, a  man  who  can  stand  on  an 
equal  footing  with  any  college  presi- 
dent, 

Impromtu  toasts  were  given  by- 
Benedict,  '88,  Lewis,  'oo,  Mayor  Jack- 
son, Haas,  'oo,  Crozier,  '93,  and  Betten, 
'Oo.  and  others. 


VESPER  SERVICE 

Professor  Lewis  Stuart  addressed 
the  students  at  Vespers  Sunday  after- 
noon on  the  "great  commandment" 
and  the  "one  like  to  it"; — religion  and 
humanitarianism. 


The  Wisconsin  sphinx  alludes  to 
the  first-year  girl  as  a  "freshmaness." 
This  is  certainly  better  than  "fresh- 
woman."  Furthermore,  it  avoids  the 
use  of  the  hated  generic  title    "coed." 


FRIEND  OF  COLLEGE  PASSES  AWAY. 

Mrs.  Henry  C.  Durand  died  at  the 
Chicago  home  of  her  daughter,  Mrs. 
Franklin  P.  Smith,  Friday,  the  first  of 
March,  on  the  anniversary  of  her  hus- 
band's birth.  Mrs.  Durand  had  been  a 
sufferer  for  a  number  of  years,  yet  her 
departure  from  this  life,  when  it  came, 
was  somewhat  unexpected.  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  H.  C.  Durand  were  so  thoroughly 
identified  for  so  many  years  with  our 
educational  institutions  in  Lake  Forest 
that  many  persons  who  never  met 
them  have  felt  a  personal  interest  in 
them. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Durand  came  to  Chi- 
cago many  years  ago,  when  Mr. 
Durand,  as  a  young  man,  came  west  to 
carve  out  his  fortunes,  and  more  than 
thirty  years  ago  they  made  their  home 
in  Lake  Forest  in  their  beautiful  place 
just  to  the  eastward  of  the  Art  Institute 
campus.  That  campus  is  especially  the 
Durand  Campus,  for  all  its  buildings 
were  given  by  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Durand, 
and  bear  the  Durand  name.  Especi- 
ally dear  to  Mrs.  Durand  was  the  Alice 
Home,  which  has  been  such  a  benefi- 
cent and  helpful  place  for  this  commu- 
nity, and  her  thought  and  interest 
centered  in  it  to  the  last,  whilst  her 
helpful  sympathy  led  her  to  devise 
plans  to  make  it  more  attractive.  She 
was  always,  naturally,  interested  in  the 
Academy,  where  the  home  of  the  pres- 
ent Master;  the  Annie  C.  Durand  Cot- 
tage, is  a  special  memorial  to  her.  As 
long  as  our  buildings  stand  the  memory 
of  Mr.  Durand  and  of  the  true-hearted 
woman  who  entered  into  his  benefac- 
tions with  sympathy  and  devotion,  will 
abide  in  the  hearts  of  students  and 
friends  of  this  institution. 

As  the  day  gathered  to  a  close 
Sunday,  Mrs.  Durand  was  borne  to  her 
last  earthly  resting  place  in  the  little 
God's    Acre    on   the   northeru  edge  of

Baseball. 

Manager  Thalman  has  nearly  com- 
pleted an  excellent  schedule  for  the 
baseball  team  and  expects  to  have  it 
ready  for  publication  soon.  The  sched- 
ule will  contain  over  twenty  games  and 
will  include  trips  through  Indiana,  Wis- 
consin and  Illinois. 

Candidates  for  the  team  have  been 
practicing  in  the  gymnasium  for  sev- 
eral weeks  and  by  spring  vacation 
should  be  in  good  condition  for  out- 
door work.  Keithly,  Callahan,  and 
Mather  are  working  to  fill  the  vacancy 
left  by  Bethard  and  Rheinert,  and  un- 
der Coach  Faulkinburg  have  made 
great  improvement.  Milner,  Zimmer- 
man, McCrea,  and  Scott  are  expected 
to  take  care  of  their  old  positions  in 
the  infield,  while  among  the  new  men 
Hall,  Stark,  Stoltz,  Loeb,  Baker,  and 
Mather  are  showing  up  we'll  and  will 
make  a  strong  bid  for  positions  on  the 
team. 

Board  Formed  to  PicH  Ball  Team. 

The  absence  of  a  coach  during  the 
baseball  season  leaves  the  picking  of 
the  men  for  the  different  positions  to 
one  man,  and  considering  the  differ- 
ences of  opinion  that  passes  around 
our  campus  I  thought  it  advisable  to 
form  a  board  for  the  purpose  consist- 
ing of  four  men,  the  Manager,  Captain, 
^nd    McCrea   and    Keithley,  who    will 


make  such    selections  and    changes  as 
they  think  best  for  the  team.

It  is  expected  that  1,400  aOhletes 
will  take  part  in  the  thirteenth  annual 
relay  races  to  be  held  on  April  27th  at

auspices  of  the  University  of  Pennsyl-

Zeta  Epsilon. 

At  the  regular  meeting  Monday 
evening  an  interesting  program  was 
given.  Brown  led  in  'devotionals. 
Morrison  gave  a  review  of  the  happen- 
ings of  a  week,  followt-d  by  a  paper  on 
"Child  Labor  in  America,"  by  Caswell. 
The  question  for  debate  was  "Resolved 
that  universal  socialism  would  advance 
the  interests  of  humanity."  C.  Whar-

was  held  on  the  question:  "Resolved, 
that  co-education  is  to  the  best  inter- 
ests of  the  college,"  Igou  and  Chappel 
upholding  the  affirmative  and  Hardy 
and  Bush  the  negative.  In  conclusion

deeply  interested  in  the  future  of  Lake 
Forest  College. 

To  these  phrases,  an  added  signifi- 
cance, and  to  these  ideas  a  new  life 
was  given,  by  the  spirit  of  certain 
toasts  given  at  the  Alumni  Banquet  of 
]ast  week.     Two  of  the  great    institu- 


tions of  learning  in  this  state,  each  un- 
excelled, scarcely  equaled  in  its  own 
sphere,  in  all  the  land,  are  great  be- 
cause there  were  some  who  had  the 
"nerve"  to  try  t©  make  them  first  in 
rank. 

Lake  Forest  has  secured  four  new 
buildings;  she  has  easily  the  best  loca 
tion,  and  the  finest  campus  of  anv  col- 
lege or  university  in  the  state;  she  has 
an  excellent  faculty,  a  good  student 
body,  and  loyal  aiumni.  By  virtue  of 
all  these,  Lake  Forest  should  be,  not 
one  of  the  best,  but  the  very  best  small 
college  in  the  West!  And  when  we 
secure  a  new  president,  we  want  a  man 
who,  with  all  the  powers  of  faith  which 
he  possesses,  believes  in  such  a  future 
for  Lake  Forest  College! 

Was  It  Worth  While? 

From  the  observations  we  have 
made  and  the  experiences  through 
which  we  have  passed  during  our  short 
life,  we  have  come  to  look  askance  at 
that  which  ordinarily  goes  by  the  name 
of  "revival."  Butduringthe  past  week 
the  college  community  has  experienced 
a  something  that  does  honor  to  the 
name  "revival".  Dr.  Boyle  brought  to 
us  Dr.  Balcom  Shaw,  one  of  the  great 
good  men  of  the  country,  and  his  sim- 
ple, direct  and  earnest  pleas  for  the 
right  life  have  told.  Was  it  worth 
while?  We  believe  it  was  well  worth 
while.     Time  alone  can  prove  it. 


DR.  HARLAN  SENDS  LETTER  OF  THANKS 

We  are  in  receipt  of  the  following 

letter  from  Dr.  Harlan    respecting   the 

loving  cup  given  him  by  the  students: 

Washington,  D.  C, 

Washington's    Birthday,  1907. 

To  the  Students  of  Lake  Forest 

College. 
My  dear  Friends: 

A  few  days  ago — shortly  after  my 
return  from    the    final  work  of  remov- 


THE  STENTOR 


216 


ing  my  goods  and  chattels  from  Lake 
Forest — your  Loving  Cup  arrived. 

It  is  beautiful  in  and  for  itself,  and 
is  a  model  of  the  silversmith's  art. 
But  to  me,  knowing  as  I  do  the  friend- 
liness of  youthful  hearts  which 
prompted  such  a  tribute,  the  Cup  is 
radiant  with  a  beauty  that  does  not 
meet  the  eye.  The  message  it  brought 
took  an  "air  line"  to  my  heart,  all  the 
more  direct  because  it  came  straight 
from  that  portion  of  the  College  which 
has  always  been  nearest  to  my  own 
heart.     I  mean  the  students. 

My  good  friends  in  the  Faculty, 
who  so  loyally  co-operated  with  me  in 
the  efforts  to  bring  Lake  Forest  still 
nearer  to  her  rightful  position  of 
leadership  among  the  colleges  of  her 
tppe  in  the  Middle  West,  know  full 
well  the  strong,  affectionate  and  abid- 
ing esteem  in  which  I  hold  them.  But 
from  their  own  experience  as  teachers, 
they  also  have  a  sympathetic  under- 
standing of  my  meaning  when  I  speak 
of  the  altogether  dffterent  affection  I 
have  always  had,  and  shall  always 
cherish,  for  the  "boys  and  girls"  who 
made  up  its  student-body. 

I  love  every  foot  of  that  beautiful 
oak-covered  Campus  on  the  far-away 
shore  of  Lake  Michigan;  and  those 
College  buildings — including  the  four 
new  ones  that  are  to  go  up  during  the 
next  twelve  months,  and  of  which  I 
have  dreamed  so  long  and  so  vividly, 
and  whose  pictures  are  so  indelibly 
imprinted  upon  my  mind's  eye,  that 
they  are  as  real  to  me  as  if  they  were 
now  in  actual  use — are  also  very  dear 
to  me. 

And  yet  my  feeling  for  the  Cam- 
pus and  all  those  buildings  grows  out 
of  the  fact  that  they  are  (or  or  are  to  be) 
your  home  and  the  places  where  you 
are  more  and  more  to  be  led  into  the 
vast  Kingdom  of  Truth.     For  although, 


in  an  important  sense,  the  Faculty  of 
a  college  may  be  said  to  make  that 
college,  such  a  statement  is  never  true 
of  its  grounds  and  buildings.  In  the 
last  analysis,  the  young  life,  filling  the 
buildings  and  making  the  Campus 
truly  alive,  is  what  constitutes  the  real- 
college. 

The  students — as  the  living  expo- 
nents and  trustees  of  its  best  traditions, 
as  the  embodiment,  from  one  college 
generation  to  another,  of  its  highest 
ideals,  its  noblest  purposes  and  its 
splendid  enthusiasms— make  the  College;, 
indeed,  in  a  deep,  vital,  human  sense, 
the  students  are  the  College. 

For  that  reason,  as  I  read  the 
gracious  tribute  paid  to  me  in  the  in- 
scription placed  upon  your  beautiful 
gift,  I  will  confess  to  you  that  when  I 
came  to  the  more  personal,  closing 
message  from  you,  my  eyes  were  so- 
blurred  that  for  a  few  moments  I  could 
not  see  the  words. 

Among  my  most  beloved  "house- 
hold gods"  this  Loving  Cup  from  my 
"boys  and  girls"  of  Lake  Forest  will, 
I  think,  always  hold  the  chiefest  place. 

As  I  look  at  it  in  after  years,  I 
hope  that  I  shall  always  find  it  brim- 
ming with  those  same  kind  remem- 
brances of  me  with  which  you  filled  the 
Cup  when  you  sent  it.  I  know  that  it 
will  always  be  full  of  my  own  affection- 
ate good"wishes  for  you  throughout  all 
the  days  of  your  life. 

Though  the  tie.  which  once  united 
me  officially  to  the  College  is  severed,, 
the  bond  of  personal  and  affectionate 
interest  in  its  students  will  never  be 
broken;  and  I  hope  that  in  the  years 
to  come,  here  and  there  in  this  broad 
land,  I  may  once  in  a  while  have  the 
pleasure  of  seeing  some  of  you,  and  of 
knowing  that  you  are  all  worthily  bear- 
ing your  part  in  this  wonderful  century

appointment  to  the  Naval  Academy  at

On  last  Friday  night  Lake  Forest 
was  defeated  in  basketball  by  Armour 
at  the  latter's  gymnasium,  the  final 
score  being  34  to  32.  Lake  Forest  led 
up  to  the  last  ten  minutes  of  play  when 
three  baskets  in  quick  succession  gave 
the  game  to  Armour. 

The  minstrel  show  at  the  Acad- 
emy on  Saturday  evening,  March  16th,

ing in  the  first  indoor  meet  of  the 
North  Shore  Inter-scholastic  league

not  been  for  the  fact  that  some  mem- 
bers of  the  team  were  down  in  their 
studies    and    not  allowed    to    compete 


we  would  undoubtedly  have  taken  first 
place.  As  it  was  Evanston  High

of  opportunity  for  service  to  God   and 
your  fellow-men. 

If  I  have  helped  to  lead  the  Col- 
lege a  few  stages  nearer  to  itt.  Promised 
Land,  and  if  I  have  been  of  service  in 
equipping  you  personally  to  be  worthy- 
representatives  of  Lake  Forest  in  this 
great  Republic  of  ours,  then  I  thank- 
God  for  the  five  years  I  spent  as  your 
leader. 

Your  Loving  Cup  came  full  of 
your  own  kindly  remembrances  of  me 
-and  I  shall  keep  it  full  of  equally  affec- 
tionate thoughts  of  you.  But  let  us 
all,  both  you  and  I,  now  fill  that  cup 
with  good  wishes  for  the  College  itself, 
and  drink  this  toast  together  with  all 
our  hearts: 

Lake  Forest  College! 

Esto  Perpetual 

Vivat!   Crescat!   Floreat! 

Thank  God  that  gradually,  through 
the  work  of  various  administrations, 
the  College  has  won  its  way  "out  of  the 
region  of  experiment  and  past  the 
point  of  danger;"  and  that  all  the 
wearers  of  the  Red  and  Black  now 
know  of  a  surety,  not  merely  that  Lake 
Forest  will  live  forever,  but  that  the 
day  of  her  larger  growth  and  blossom- 
ing is  not  far  off". 

May  He  Who  must  ever  be  "The 
Master  of  all  our  Schools"  hasten  that 
day,  and  bring  to  the  Academy,  Ferry 
Hall  and  the  College  all  that  has  been 
dreamed  of  and  hoped  for  by  the  men 
and  women  who,  since  Lake  Forest's 
charter  was  granted  half  a  century  ago, 
have  tried  faithfully  to  build  their  lives 
into  that  institution. 

Faithfully,  your  friend,

SOME  GOOD  PROVERBS 

Sherburn  M.  Becker,  the  Mayor 
of  Milwaukee,  writing  on  "The  Young 
Man  in  Politics,"  which  appears  in  the 
last  number  of  "The  World  Today," 
lays  down  some  good  principles  which 
any  young  man  might  profit  by  heed- 
ing whether  he  intends  to  enter  the 
world  of  politics  or  not.  He  said  in 
part: 

"Young  man  make  up  your  mind 
to  be  honest  ?nd  fair  both  in  business 
and  in   politics. 

"Work  nine-tenths  of  the  time  and 
when  occasion  demands  work  the  other 
tenth. 

"Work  is  the  best  thing  for  every 
young  man;  idleness  is  the  greatest 
evil  and  breeds  dishonesty  and  cor- 
ruption. 

"Do  not  under  any  circumstances 
allow  prejudice  to  swerve  y^u  from 
your  best  judgment. 

"Have  a  platform  short  and 
pointed. 

"Be  sure  it  is  right  and  stand  upon 
it  to  the  end. 

"Do  not  readily  take  sides  in  con- 
troversies. 

"Think  fast  and  try  to  be  quick  in 
your  responses  in  emergencies. 

"Do  something  all  the  time,  but  in 
your  ambition  to  do  something,  don't 
do  things  that  count  for  naught. 

"Finish  your  work  as  you  go  along. 

"Never     know     or   recognize    the 

word  fail.     You  will  fail  and  fail  badly 

but  "pass  it  up"  as  quickly  as  you  can."

The  Honeymoon 


Ferry  Hall  Senior   Class  Give  Play  Friday  NigHt 


"I  do  beseech  thee,  by  this  post 

Which    comes    from     this    studious 
University, 

In  this   Athens    of   America,  choose 
your  company" 

Come    to     Smith     Hall,    Mayflower

To  hear  matter  for  a  March  morning — 

The  Honeymoon 
by  John  Tobin  and  the  Senior  Class  of 
Ferry   Hall.     "An   hour   by    the    dial," 
Friday,  March  15,  8  o'clock. 

The  Honeymoon,  an  English  co- 
medy chosen  for  the  Senior  play  this 
year  preserves  all  the  spirit  without  a 
particle  of  the  grossness  of  Beaumont 
and  Fletcher's  ''Rule  a  Wife  and  Have 
a  Wife"  and  Shakespeare's  "Taming  of 
the  Shrew."  Yet  Tobin  was  less  in- 
debted to  these  plays  for  his  hints  than 
the  dramatists  named  were  to  their 
predecessors.  John  died  without 
knowing  he  had  written  one  of  the 
most  brilliant  comedies  in  the  English 
language,  as  the  play  was  not  staged 
until  1805,  a  year  after  the  author's 
death.  Then  it  met  with  unparalleled 
sucoess.  Many  noted  actresses  have 
taken  the  part  of  Juliana  in  this  coun- 
try, among  them  Mrs.  Mowatt,  an 
American,  who  made  her  debut  in  1845 
in  Park  Theater,  New  York.

A  SECOND    BLACKSTONE  HALL   STARTED 

On  Monday  morning  stakes  were 
set  which  will  mark  the  foundations  of 
the  second  Blackstone  Hall.  Work  on 
it  is  to  begin  immediately.  The  first 
hall  is  rapidly  nearing  completion,  the 
outside  being  nearly  done  already. 

At  chapel  on  Monday,  Acting 
President  Halsey  announced  that  the 
Science  Hall  would  be  started  in  a  few 
days.  He  also  stated  that  in  all  proba- 
bility the  four  new  buildings — two 
Blackstone  Halls,  Carnegie  Science 
Hall,  and  the  Durand  Commons — will 
be  ready  for  use  next  fall. 

In   view  of  this  added    equipment

and  the  additional  accommodation  for 
students — the  two  dormitories  will  ac- 
commodate nearly  eighty  students — 
the  new-student  campaign  will  be  pros- 
ecuted with  great  vigor. 


DEATH    OF  DOWIE. 


[The  following-  article  was  given  us  by  our 
Liiterary  Editor,  who  writes  from  an  intimate  know- 
ledge of  the  subject.— Editor's  Note.] 

The  death  of  John  Alexander  Dowie 
brings  to  a  close  one  of  the  most  spec- 
tacular careers  of  the  century.  That 
he  was  a  great  organizer  and  that  his 
organizing  genius  was  combined  with  a 
wonderfully  magnetic  personality,  all 
who  came  in  contact  with  him  must 
readily  admit.  The  city  that  he  first 
dreamed  of,  then  planned,  built  and 
populated,  today  stands  as  a  monument 
to  his  greatness  as  a  leader,  and  a  tan- 
gible proof  of  his  ability  as  an  organ- 
izer. The  church  which  he  founded, 
though  in  a  somewhat  (precarious  con- 
dition today,  still  maintains  the  tenets 
which  he  taught  and  has  never  repudi- 
ated one  of  the  many  peculiar  doctrines 
which  he  originated. 

In  private  life,  this  man  who  railed 
and  scoffed  at  his  enemies  from  the 
pulpit,  was  one  of  the  most  urbane  and 
affable  gentlemen  one  could  wish  to 
meet.  None  knew  better  than  he  how 
to  entertain  and  impress  a  visitor  or 
interviewer.  He  was  a  princely  host, 
fond  of  displaying  his  wealth  and 
power,  and  knew  full  well  how  to  ac- 
complish his  ends  by  these  means. 

The  great  question  asked  by  many 
is:  Was  he  sincere?  Was  he  self- 
deceived?  Perhaps.  This  is  the  most 
charitable  answer  that  can  be  given. 
That  he  has  been  insane  for  the  last 
eighteen  months  is  the  assertion  made 
by  his  wife  and  son.  Several  years  ago 
the  assertion  was  made  that  he  was 
suffering  from  paranoia  and  was  even 
then  on  the  moonlit  borders  of  insan- 


ity.    Subsequent  events  seem  to  prove 
this  statement  to  have  been  true. 

The  funeral  arrangements  as  an- 
nounced last  Sunday  were  that  the 
body  would  lie  in  state  at  his  residence, 
Shiloh  House,  Zion  City,  from  one  to 
three  on  Tuesday  and  Wednesday 
afternoons  and  Thursday  morning  from 
ten  to  twelve.  The  memorial  service  is 
to  be  conducted  today  by  Judge  V.  V. 
Barnes,  his  personal  counsel  and  ad- 
visor, during  the  afternoon  at  the  Tab- 
ernacle, followed  by  burial  in  Lake 
Mound  Cemetery,  where  his  daughter 
Esther  was  buried. 


OCTETTE  SINGS  AT  ENGLEWOOD. 

An  octette  consisting  of  Barrett 
and  Wilson,  first  tenor;  Carlson  and 
Munger,  second  tenor;  Marquis  and 
Milner,  first  bass;  Stone  and  Talcott. 
second  bass,  sang  last  Tuesday  night 
at  a  reception  given  by  the  Lincoln 
Council  of  the  Royal  League  of  Engle- 
wood.  The  program  as  rendered  was 
as  follows: 

Mrs.  Winslow's  Soothing  Syrup Octette 

Reading Munger 

Pickininny  Lullaby Octette 

Reading Munger 

Compus  Medley.    ' Octette 

If  we  may  judge  by  the  number  of 
encores  demanded,  the  octette  made  an 
impression  which  augurs  well  for  the 
success  of  the  Glee  Club  this  spring. 
The  readings  of  Munger  were  especi- 
ally well  received — his  supply  of 
encores  were  well  nigh  exhausted. 


A  good  deal  of  excitement  has 
been  aroused  at  Lake  Forest  over  the 
discovery  of  the  fact  that  a  Sophomore 
in  that  institution  has  been  guilty  of 
stealing  various  articles  from  the  stu- 
dents' rooms.  The  total  value  of  the 
articles  amounts  to  a  considerable  sum-

BASEBALL. 


Outdoor  Practice  Begins. 

The  baseball  squad  was  out  on  the 
practice  field  for  the  first  time  this  year 
on  Monday  afternoon,  and  twenty-three 
candidates  reported  for  practice,  which 
consisted  chiefly  of  batting  and  out- 
field work.  The  men  are  showing  un- 
usually good  [form  for  this  time  of  the 
year,  and  Captain  Milner  was  pleased 
with  their  work. 

The  diamond  will  be  in  good  con- 
dition by  the  latter  part  of  spring  vaca- 
tion so  that  practice  can  be  held  on  it 
after  the  Glee  Club  trip. 

TRACK. 


Squad  at  WorK. 

Mr.  Bradstreet  has  taken  charge  of 
the  track  squad,  and  systematic  work 
is  now  being  done  to  get  the  men 
into  condition  for  the  meets  this  spring. 
The  distance  men  have  been  taking 
short  cross-country  runs,  and  the 
weight  men  have  also  been  able  to  get 
a  little  outdoor  practice,  while  practice 
for  the  jumps  and  pole  vault  is  still 
confined  to  the  Gymnasium.  Among 
those  on  the  squad  are  several  prep, 
school  stars,  and  the  chances  are  good 
for  a  winning  team. 

Those  who  have  reported  so  far 
are:  For  the  dashes — Marquis,  Boys, 
Milner,  and  Westervelt.     For  the  mid- 


dle distances — Shroyer,  Sanders,  Tal- 
cott,  and  Schmidt.  Long  distances — 
Dawson,  Heller,  Sturdevant,  and  Bush, 
Jumps — Scott,  Marquis,  Boys,  Heller, 
and  Bush.  Hurdles— Scott,  Shroyer, 
Munger,  Berkheiser,  and  Ralston.  The 
weight  events  will  be  taken  care  of  by 
Gibbs,  Callahan,  Jones,  Igou,  and  Ma- 
ther. 

Mr.  Crawford,  of  the  Academy- 
has  kindly  consented  to  assist  in  train- 
ing the  runners  and  with  this  and  the 
conscientious  work  that  Mr.  Bradstreet 
always  puts  upon  any  team  in  his 
charge  some  good  results  are  to  be 
expected. 

BLUE  GOOSE  ORGANIZED  AT  LAST. 


Captain  and  Manager  Elected  for   Baseball 
— Good  Schedules  To  Be  Arranged. 

A  permanent  "Blue  Goose"  Ath- 
letic Association  has  at  last  been  or- 
ganized, the  object  of  which  is  to 
organize  "scrub"  teams  in  every  line  of 
sport  undertaken  in  the  College. 
Regular  schedules  will  be  arranged  for 
these  teams,  monograms  will  be 
awarded,  and  in  this  way  a  man  that 
has  worked  hard  but  failed  to  make  the 
first  team  will  have  something  to  pay 
him  for  his  trouble.  The  first  step 
taken  by  the  organization  was  to  elect 
Sam  Stoltz  captain  and  Stone  manager 
of  the  baseball  team.     The  Blue  Goose

The  New  Student 
Movement 

The  new  buildings  are  ours  !  — two 
dormitories,  a  Science  Hall  and  a  Com- 
mons. Nay  more,  they  are  to  be  ready 
for  actual  use  by  next  Fall  !  !  We  are 
deeply  grateful  to  those  friends  of  the 
College,  and  to  the  authorities  who 
have  aided  Lake  Forest  in  this  step 
toward  her  self-realization.  It  now 
remains  for  us,  the  sons  and  daughters 
of  Lake  Forest  to  show  our  gratitude 
for  these  gifts,  and  our  loyalty  to  our 
Alma  Mater,  by  doing  what  within  us 
lies,  for  her  advancement. 

We  have  the  buildings — we  must 
have  the  students  to  make  use  of  those 


buildings.  The  'New  Student  Cam- 
paign" has  for  some  years  been  carried 
on  wisely  and  well.  That  movement 
has  proved  conclusively  that  the  en- 
largement of  our  enrollment,  consistent 
with  the  quality  of  student  which  we 
desire,  must  depend,  ultimately,  upon 
the  efforts  of  the  Alumni,  and  the  stu- 
dent body.  From  the  attitude  and 
the  spirit  of  the  Alumni,  our  elder 
brothers,  as  it  was  sensed  at  the  re- 
cent Banquet  of  the  Chicago-Lake 
Forest  Club,  we  know  that  the  Alumni 
believe  in,  and  are  working  for  Lake 
Forest  College. 

Hitherto  the  student  body  has 
met,  commendably,  its  responsibility 
in  this  matter,  despite  the  fact  that 
they  have  been,  at  times,  unnerved  by 
the  conditions  here,  and  by  the  uncer- 
tainty of  the  future.  But  now  that 
uncertainty  is  eliminated;  moreover 
we  are  enjoying  better  conditions  than 
we  have  known  for  years.  We  can 
enter  heart  and  soul  into  the  work  that 
is  before  us.  In  the  few  months  that 
remain  to  us  of  this  college  year — in 
our  Glee  Club  tour,  our  baseball  trips, 
our  visits  here  and  there — and  then  in 
the  summer  months  that  follow,  let  us 
direct  our  energies  toward  the  securing 
new  students,  that  these  new  buildings 
may  be  filled  to  overflowing.  But  with 
all  our  getting,  let  us  remember  to  get 
only  the  best.  For  with  her  students, 
not  with  her  plant  or  equipment,  lies  the 
future   well-being  of  our  Alma  Mater. 

The  Trend  Toward  a 
More  Unified  Spirit. 

We  have  heard  much  and  often 
during  the  last  few  years,  of  the  fac- 
tional spirit  which  has  frequently  mani- 
fested itself  in  the  life  and  activities  of 
the  College.  That  such  a  spirit  has 
existed,  and  does  still  exist  to  a  certain 
extent,  there  can   be  no  doubt.     It  has 


THE  STENTOR

often  been  deprecated  by  our  presi- 
dent, professors,  and  students  alike. 
There  have  even  been  some  efforts 
made  to  remedy  it.  But  it  has  con- 
tinued to  show  itself,  though  with  slowly 
decreasing  frequency.  As  usual,  fac- 
tionalism Uas  appeared  this  year;  but 
so  infrequently  has  it  appeared,  as 
compared  with  other  years,  that  we 
flatter  ourselves  that  a  distinct  advance 
toward  a  more  democratic,  and  a  more 
unified,  college  spirit  has  been  made. 

It  was  with  great  pleasure  that  we 
read  the  announcement  (which  appears 
in  this  issue)  of  one  of  the  fraternities, 
of  a  weekly  "open  house"  in  their 
rooms.  We  heartily  commend  the 
move — it  is  right  in  line  with  the  pres- 
ent tendency  toward  a  better  esprit  de 
corps  in  the  College.  Nay  more,  we 
believe  that  if  the  other  fraternal  or- 
ganizations could  see  their  way  to  meet 
this  move  with  similar  ones,  one  of  the 
most  effective  steps  toward  the  realiza- 
tion of  the  ideal  college  spirit  which 
we  so  much  desire  would  be  made. 
In  certain  of  the  Eastern  colleges  the 
fraternities  put  aside  a  couple  of  hours 
on  a  certain  evening  each  week,  dur- 
ing which  time  their  doors  are  opened 
to  any  and  every  one  who  may  wish  to 
enter.     Why  cannot  we  do  the  same? 


THETA  PSI  DANCE. 


The  Theta  Psi  Sorority  gave  their 
annual  dancing  party  at  the  Winter 
Club  last  Friday  night.  It  was  one  of 
the  most  successful  of  the  season,  and 
all  who  attended  returned  the  report 
that  a  most  enjoyable  evening  was 
spent. 


Idleness  tires — it  does  not  rest: 
and  the  hardest  work  cheerfully  per- 
formed is  easy  as  compared  to  inaction. 
Would  you  find  happiness,  be  up  and 
doing. — Ex. 


PHI  PI  AT  HOME. 

Phi  Pi  Epsilon  fraternity  wishes  to 
announce  that  they  will  be  "at  home" 
to  the  men  of  the  college  on  Monday 
evenings  from  7  to  9:30,  in  the 
fraternity  rooms  in  North  Hall. 

These  evenings  will  be  strictly  in- 
formal and  are  meant  simply  to  afford 
an  opportunity  for  all  the  men  of  the 
college  to  become  better  acquainted 
with  one  another. 

It  is  hoped  that  these  gatherings 
will  augment  the  "get  together"  spirit 
and  aid  in  bringing  about  the  dawning 
'•era  of  good  feeling"  when  everyone 
of  whatever  class  or  affiliation  will  be 
pulling  together  for  Lake  Forest. 

Wear  your  old  clothes  and  a  pipe 
and  at  least  one  idea  about  some  col- 
lege enterprise! 


Madison,  Wis.,  March  9. — Because 
it  is  impossible  to  give  its  800  young 
women  students  adequate  physical 
training  in  the  present  gymnasium, 
which  can  accommodate  conveniently 
but  150,  it  is  proposed  to  erect  a 
woman's  building  at  the  University  of 
Wisconsin. 

A  bill  appropriating  $100,000 
annually  for  four  years  was  recently 
introduced  into  the  legislature  to  cover 
the  cost  of  the  new  structure.  As 
soon  as  the  amount  is  available  con- 
struction of  the  proposed  building  will 
be  begun. 

At  present  about  350  of  the  uni- 
versity girls  are  crowded  into  large 
classes  in  the  Chadbourne  Hall  gym- 
nasium. 

In  view  of  thes^e  conditions  a 
woman's  building  with  adequate  gym- 
nasium facilities  is  regarded  as  one  of 
the  imperative  needs  of  the  state  uni- 
versity.— Record-Herald.

MYSELF  AND  ME. 


I'm  the  best  pal  I  ever  had,  I  like  to  be 
with  me. 

I  like  to  sit  and  tell  myself  things  con- 
fidentially. 

I  often  sit  and  ask  me  if  I  shouldn't  or 
I  should, 

And  I  find  that  my  advice  to  me  is  al- 
ways pretty  good. 

I  never  got  acquainted  with  myself  till 
here  of  late, 

And  I  find  myself  a  bully  chum,  I  treat 
me  simply  great. 

I  talk  with  me  and  walk  with  me,  and 
show  me  right  and  wrong. 

I  never  knew  how  well  myself  and  me 
could  get  along. 

I've  made  a  study  of  myself,  compared 
me  with  the  lot, 

And  I've  finally  concluded  that  I'm  the 
best  friend  that  I've  got.     — Ex.

Thursday  evening,  at  eight  o'clock,  will 
be  held  the  sixth  annual  inter-collegi- 
ate debate  between  Illinois  and  Lake 
Forest  Colleges.  The  proposition: 
"Resolved,  that  laws  further  restricting 
immigration  of  foreigners  to  the  United 
States  are  inexpedient."  is  to  be  dis- 
cussed, Illinois  taking  the  affirmative 
and  Lake  Forest  the  negative  of  the 
question. 

This  debate  deserves  the  interest 
and  hearty  support  of  every  student, 
because  (1)  it  is  the  only  intercollegiate 
debate  of  the  year  and  (2)  Illinois  is 
one  of  our  oldest  and  most  formidable 
rivals  in  debate.  Out  of  the  five  de- 
bates, Illinois  has  won  three  and  Lake 
Forest  two. 

The  team  which  is  to  represent 
Lake  Forest  in  the  field  consists  of 
Palmer,  Robineau  and  Schwartz. 
These  men,  it  will  be  remembered, 
were  easily  the  strongest  debaters  of 
the  two  inter-society  teams.  Robineau 
has  appeared  in  but  one  debate,  the 
inter-society  debate  of  this  year; 
Schwartz  debated  in  last  year's   Beloit- 


Lake  Forest  Freshman  debate,  and  in 
this  year's  inter-society  debate,  Palmer 
has  had  the  experience  of  two  inter- 
society  debates,  and  of  the  two  inter- 
collegiate debates  of  last  year.  All 
three  men  have  shown  great  strength 
as  debaters,  and  they  should  form  a 
team  well  worthy  of  representing  Lake 
Forest. 


VESPER  SERVICE. 


The  union  vesper  service  of  Sun- 
day afternoon  was  led  by  the  Rev.  Mr. 
Chidister,  of  Waukegan.  He  spoke 
briefly  and  to  the  point  on  "Thou  Shalt 
Be  a  Blessing."  One  of  the  best  ways 
for  one  to  be  a  blessing  to  others  is  to- 
be  natural,  to  be  himself. 

Of  unusual  interest  to  the  audience 
was  the  singing  of  Albert  and  William 
Cutler,  Miss  Cutler's  small  brothers.. 
They  have  been  singing  for  some  time 
in  one  of  the  largest  churches  of  Louis- 
ville, Kentucky,  and  their  voices  show 
the  results  of  the  excellent  training 
which  they  received  there.  We  hope 
to  hear  them  again.

GLEE  CLUB    SINGS  TONIGHT  AT 
WAUKEGAN. 

The  Lake  Forest  College  Glee 
Club,  under  the  directorship  of  Mr. 
G.  W.  Brewster  and  under  the  leader- 
ship of  R.  G.  Talcott,  appears  tonight 
for  the  first  time  this  season  in  the 
Parish  House  at  Waukegan.  This 
will  be  the  third  successive  annual 
appearance  of  the  Glee  Club  in  Wau- 
kegan; and  considerable  merit  will  be 
required  for  the  Club  to  uphold  its 
reputation  of  the  two    previous    years. 

The  season  opens,  in  some  ways 
more  auspiciously  than  ever  before. 
The  Club  has  a  large  nucleus  of  old 
men,  supported  by  a  number  of  new 
men,  among  whom  are  some  splendid 
voices.  The  parts  are  even  better 
balanced,  if  that  be  possible,  than  in 
past  years;  and  there  is  a  closer  sym- 
pathy apparent  among  the  men  in 
singing. 

There  are,  however,  some  diffi- 
culties to  be  met  by  the  Club.  It  is 
somewhat  likely  to  suffer  from  over- 
confidence — especially  of  its  older 
members — but  that  will  remedy  itself 
in  short  order.  Moreover,  the  Club 
has  this  year  lost  the  Rag  Quartet  and 
the  String  Quartet,  the  absence  of 
which  must  be  made  up  by  extraordi- 
narily good  work  in  the  singing  itself 
We,  nevertheless,  predict  a  very  suc- 
cessful concert  for  this  evening. 

The  program  for  the  concert  is  as 
follows:  ,

The  program  is  entirely  newjwith 
but  one  or  two  exceptions.  The  piano 
solo  has  been  introduced  to  take  the 
place  of  one  of  the  quartets  of  last 
year.  The  club's  new  reader  in  the 
person  of  "Jake"  Schwartz,  should  be 
especially  acceptable  to  the  audience, 
inasmuch  as  he  claims  Waukegan  as 
his  home. 

It  is  hoped  that  a  large  crowd  will 
go  from  here  to  the  concert — both  the 
Glee  Club  and  the  Manager  need  your 
support.  Ask  Manager  Keithley  for 
further  particulars.

greatest  musical  successes  of  the  season.

ing hard  and  that  as  a  result  musical 
patrons  in  this  city  will  be  given  even 
a  greater  treat  than  in  former  years 
when  they  have  earned  enviable  praise 
for  their  meritorious  rendition. 

New  faces  will  be  seen  in  the  club 
this  year  but  it  is  said  that  all  of  the 
changes  have  been  for  the  better.  The 
same  features  that  have  earned  so 
much  applause  for  the  club  in  former 
years  will  again  be  p  resented  this  year. 
One  of  the  most  ludicrous  of  these  will 
be  the  child  impersonation  which  al- 
ways makes  a  great  hit  with  local  audi 
ences.  Jacob  Schwartz  will  appear  as 
one  of  the  impersonators. 

He  will  also  be  one  of  the  two 
readers  on  the  program,  and  from  the 
reports  of  the  faculty  at  Lake  Forest 
he  is  one  of  the  surprises  of  the  season. 
As  a  reader  he  is  said  to  be  an  immense 
success.  New  features  and  songs  as 
well  as  the  old  favorites  are  to  be  upon 
the  program  this  year. — Waukegan

On  to  WauKegan. 

It  has  been  some  time  since  the 
student  body  has  been  called  upon  for 
an  exhibition  of  their  college  spirit. 
But  the  time  has  come  when  such  .a 
demonstration  is  not  only  desirable  but 
necessary.  To-night  the  Glee  Club 
gives  its  first  concert  of  the  season,  at 
Waukegan.  Upon  this  concert  de- 
pends largely  the  success  of  the  spring 
tour,  and  that  tour  will  have  far  reach- 
ing results  in  the  new  student  cam- 
paign, whether  immediately  or  in  suc- 
ceeding years. 

The  Club  needs  your  support.  It 
means  more  than  you  can  realize. 
Show  your  college  spirit! 


The  Passing  of  Dowie 

We,  very  like  to  him  who  passed  a  life 
time  within  the  sound  of  Niagara  with- 
out once  viewing  the  great  wonder,  had 
'  been  in  Lake  Forest  four  years  without 
visiting  Zion  City,  or  seeing  the  great 
autocrat  in  whose  hands  the  destiny  of 
that  city  has  rested  so  long.  Like 
others,  we  waited  till  the  motive  power,, 
the  great  ruling  force  of  the  city,  the 
very  life  of  the  place,  was  gone.  We 
have  always  expected  to  see  and  hear 
the  great  Dowie,  but  we  waited  too 
long. 

We  were,  however,  fortunate 
enough  to  see  him  in  death.  And 
from  that  one  brief  look,  we  can  well 
imagine  what  a  figure  he  was,  standing 
before  his  people  in  all  his  glory,  with 
the  fire  of  genius,  that  burned  within, 
gleaming  from  his  great,  deep-set  eyes. 
To  appreciate  the  greatness  of  the  man, 
one  has  only  to  visit  the  city,  examine 
the  public  buildings  and  the  industries 
of  the  place,  study  the  people,  and  see 
the  throngs  that  frequent  the  great 
wooden  tabernacle.  John  Alexander 
Dowie,  whether  deceiver  or  self- 
deceived,  sane  or  insane,  was  a  man  of 
wonderful  power,  of  remarkable  genius. 
We  were  somewhat  surprised  at 
the  temperateness  of  the  eulogium, 
pronounced  upon  the  great  departed 
leader  by  Judge  Barnes,  one  of  the 
foremost  men.  of  the  city  at  present. 
There  were  a  few  (to  us)  absurdities, 
and  one  or  two  contradictions.  So 
common  is  that  to  funeral  addresses, 
however,  that  we're  used  to  it.  But  for 
the  most  part  it  must  have  been  a  very 
correct  estimate  of  the  man  Dowie. 
John  Alexander  Dowie  performed 
three  great  works,  according  to  the 
speaker.  He  founded  a  city,  he  intro- 
duced a  new  industry,  and  he  disclosed 
a  great  hidden  truth — divine  healing. 
The    first    two    claims    we    cannot    but

concede.  In  Zion  City  he  established 
a  community  that  is  almost  a  model 
for  its  moral  cleanliness,  and  for  its 
freedom  from  the  vice  that  is 
so  common  to  most  cities.  And  in 
introducing  the  lace  industry,  he  has 
added  another  resource  of  great 
economic  vaule  to  the  country.  As 
for  the  great  truth  which  he  is  said  to 
have  disclosed,  we  only  know  that 
many  remarkable  cures  have  been 
effected,  beyond  legitimate  doubt — 
we  think  we  have  a  better  explanation 
for  them  than  that  he  presented. 

His  whole  theory  of  religion  and 
government,  it  was  said,  was  but  the 
working  out  of  the  Sermon  on  the 
Mount.  Love,  not  tyranny,  was  the 
great  motive  of  his  life.  We  must  in- 
deed give  him  and  his  followers  credit 
for  being  more  sincere  in  their  belief 
in  the  brotherhood  of  man  than  we 
are.  Within  the  confines  of  that  city 
are  found  representatives  from  seventy 
nationalities,  white,  black  and  yellow, 
all  apparently  dwelling  together  in 
perfect  harmony.  We  doubt  that  such 
a  condition  of  affairs  can  be  duplicated 
in  this  land  of  ours. 

We  went  as  goes  the  scoffer.  Some 
things  that  we  saw  and  heard  seemed 
absurd.  But  we,  nevertheless,  returned 
with  a  profound  respect  for  the  ability 
and  the  genius  of  the  man  who  estab- 
lished the  city  of  Zion. 

The  Music  Master 

To  the  tribute  of  the  Oberlin 
Review  to  David  Warfield's  produc- 
tion of  "The  Music  Master,"  we  would 
like  to  add  our  own  word  of  apprecia- 
tion. The  play  itself  is  a  remarkable 
bit  of  realism,  in  which  are  combined 
to  a  nicety  the  comedy  and  the 
tragedy  of  every-day  life.  It  is  easily 
one    of   the     greatest    of  present    day 


a  little  from  the  unstinting  praise 
given  to  the  cast.  True,  we  cannot 
imagine  a  stronger  presentation  of 
the  old  music  master,  than  Mr.  War- 
field's;  but  the  impersonation  of  the 
character  of  Helen,  the  old  man's 
daughter,  might  easily  be  improved 
upon.  She  is  not  deeply  enough  in 
earnest;  the  tears  in  her  voice  do 
not  bring  the  tears  to  the  eyes. 


According  to  the  city  papers  C.

Manager  Frost  of  the  baseball 
team  is  arranging  for  games  with  the 
University  of  Chicago  freshmen. 
Other  games  on  the  schedule  are  those 
with  Morgan  Park,  Armour,  Evanston, 
Oak  Park  High  School  and  University 
High. 

Lake  Forest  won  highest  honors 
in  the  High  School  and  Academy  sec- 
tion of  the  A.  A.  U.  meet  in  Chicago 
March  13th,  Schnur  taking  first  in  the 
60-yard  dash  in  6  2-5,  equalling  the 
time  made  in  the  open  event.  Runkle 
took  second  in  the  60-yards,  and  the 
relay  team  ran  third — making  seven 
points  in  all.  North  Division  was  sec- 
ond and  University  High  third.  In 
the  open  shot  put  Bedell  was  fourth, 
beating  out  Russell,  of  Chicago  Uni- 
versity, and  Benbrook. 

In  a  sensational  basket  ball  game 
Lake  Forest  defeated  Morgan  Park  25 


to  23.  The  first  half  ended  with  the 
score  16  to  10  in  favor  of  Morgan,  but 
in  the  second  our  team  came  back  with 
a  rush  that  wore  down  the  opponents. 
No  one  on  Lake  Forest  can  be  said  to 
have  starred,  for  every  man  was  in  the 
game  from  start  to  finish.  On  Satur- 
day, March  16th,  Evanston  Adademy 
defeated  Lake  Forest  in  the  last  league 
game  of  the  season  31  to  12.  at  Evan- 
ston. This  game  leaves  Evanston  and 
Morgan  Park  tied  for  first  with  4  won 
and  2  lost  each,  Lake  Forest  third  with 
3  won  and  3  lost,  and  Armour  last  with 
1  won  and  5  lost.  The  league  season 
has  been  a  most  successful  one.  De- 
spite the  fact  that  this  is  Lake  Forest's 
first  year  at  the  game  and  that  three 
men  nave  been  lost  from  the  team,  she 
has  split  even  with  every  team  in  the 
league. 

The  minstrel  show  Saturday  night 
brought  a  record  breaking  crowd  to 
the  gymnasium  and  as  a  result  the 
athletic  association  is  some  $65  richer. 
The  bright  particular  star  of  the  per- 
formance was  McClurg  who  kept  the 
audience  in  laughter  all  the  time  he 
was  on  the  stage.  Frost's  singing  was 
a  revelation  to  those  who  have  become 
weary  of  the  screeching  of  Caruso, 
Melba  and  the  rest.  The  circle  was 
radiant  with  the  jokes  and  apparel  of 
the  old  minstrel  days.  The  farces 
were  very  attractive.  The  Academy 
orchestra  which  made  its  first  public 
appearance  received  much  favorable 
comment  and  will  doubtless  prove  a 
strong  feature  of  Academy  life.  Mr. 
Bast  deserves  much  credit  both  for  the 
management  of  the  performance  and 
for  his  own  part  in  it.

"THE  HONEYMOON." 

Last  week  it  chanced  that  Ferry  Hall    should 

give 
A  play.     The  Honeymoon — a  wondrous  show, 
That  for  dramatic  art  excelled  the  best 
That  Bernhardt  ever  did,  —  so  well  they  worked 
The  stunt.     That  is  if  you  appreciate 
The  purely  histrionic  part.      But  if 
Mayhap  your  fancies  turn  to  lesser  things 
In  Art — it  would  have  disappointed  you. 
And  that  was  why  the  audience — but  let's 
Not  criticise — they  did  their  best  to  make 
Us  laugh_  and— well,  they  did  ;    for  who  of  us 
Is  made  of  stone,  that  would  not  be  amused 
When  ladies  fair  attempt  to  strut  the  stage 
In  men's  attire  and  trip  up  on  their  heels  ? 
Or  who  could  so  much  humor  lack  as  to 
Withstand  their  efforts  to  assume  a  most 
Ferocious  frown,  and  in  heroic  way 
Resent  an  insult  with  the  sword  ?     Or  who 
So  crabbed   that    could  not  see  a  chance   for 
In  all  their  antics  ludicrous,  as  they         [mirth 
Spasmodically  tried  to  keep  moustaches 
In  proper  places  on  their  unused  faces  ? 
'Twas  well  worth  fifty  cents  to  see  how  well 
"Dear  Wilmer"  won  the  winsome  Edna  for 
A  bride — (how  Jimmy  would  have  laughed

A  MEN'S  CLUB. 

Although  praise,  in  a  large  measurer 
is  due  Lake  Forest  for  the  spirit  of 
good  will  which  exists  among  her  stu- 
dents, yet  it  is  clear  that  the  most  per- 
fect opportunities  for  close  fellowship 
with  all  the  men  are  lacking.  Condi- 
tions in  our  college  life  which  restrict 
our  close  acquaintances  to  a  few  ought 
not  to  be.  Dr.  Halsey  is  right  when 
he  says  that  one  must  look  back  with 
regret  on  such  restrictions.  On  our 
campus,  or  in  close  proximity  to  it7 
live  men  who  are  to  become  for  this 
country 

To  become  well  acquainted  with  these 
men  now;  to  learn  their  natures  from 
the  inside  as  well  as  from  the  out;  to 
discover  their  unusual  stock  of  '''stuuts" 
and  abilities,  are  joys  which  all  of  us 
should  have. 

But,  before  this  is  possible  there 
must  needs  be  a  frequent  gathering  of 
all  the  men  for  purposes  of  fellowship 
and  entertainment.  This  condition  is 
partially  met  through  the  move  that 
the  fraternities  are  making,  but  there 
is  a  question  whether  these  open-house 
evenings  will  be  sufficiently  far  reach- 
ing in  their  results,  regardless  of  the 
unquestioned  value  they  have  in  the 
life  of  the  college.  Also,  the  Com- 
mons is  a  source  of  fellowship  for  all,, 
but  the  joy  is  so  short,  and  the  Junior 
knows  little  of  what  is  going  on  among 
his  sophomore  and  freshmen   brothers. 

To  come  to  the  point,  then,  the 
writer  would  suggest  that  a  men's  club 
be  organized  in  Lake  Forest  College. 
Whether  or  not  this  has  been  advo- 
cated before  he  does  not  know,  but 
such  a  club  would  undoubtedly  keep 
the  spirit  high.  An  organization  of 
this  sort  has  come  to  be  very  much 
valued  in  the  majoritv  >f  colleges,  and 
there  is  no  reason  w'iv  .re  should  not 
have  one.     Then     all    the     men    could

WORK. 

Let  me  but  do  my  work  from  day  to  day, 
In  field  or  forest,  at  the  desk  or  loom, 
In  roaring  market-place  or  tranquil  room ; 

Let  me  but  find  it  in  my  heart  to  say, 

When  vagrant  wishes  beckon  me  astray, 

"This  is  my  workjmy  blessing,not  my  doom; 
Of  all  who  live,  I  am  the  one  by  whom 

This  work  can  best  be  done  in  my  own  way:" 

Then  shall  I  see  it  not  too  great,  nor  small, 

To  suit  my  spirit  and  to  prove  my  powers; 
Then  shall  I  cheerful  greet  the  laboring  hours, 

And  cheerful  turn,  when  the  shadows  fall 

At  eventide  to  play  and  love  and  rest, 

Because  I  know  for  me  my  work  is  best.

Lake  Forest  Debates  Illinois  Col- 
lege Tonight. 


Lake  Forest  and  Illinois  College 
meet  in  joint  debate  for  the  sixth  time 
this  evening.  Of  the  the  five  previous 
debates,  Illinois  has  won  three  to  our 
two — our  debatres  will  use  every  en- 
ergy to  even  up  that  score.  Both  col- 
leges have  strong  teams  in  the  field; 
the  subject  is  both  interesting  and  vital; 
and  a  lively  debate  should  result. 

The  following  is  the  program  of 
the  debate: 

Chairman,  Acting  President  J.  J.  Halsey. 

Organ  Solo Miss  Reynolds 

Instructions  to  Judges

WAUKEGAN  CONCERT. 

The  Glee  Club  gave  its  first  con- 
cert at  the  Parish  House  in  Waukegan 
last  Thursday  night  to  an  audience  of 
about  three  hundred.  The  following 
program  was  rendered:

Mr.  Schwartz,  the  new  reader,  Mr. 
Brewster,  the  soloist,  and  the  octette, 
were  the  best  numbers  and  received 
the  enthusiastic  applause  of  the  audi- 
ence. Mr.  Schwartz  gave  a  humorous 
reading  in  German  dialect,  which  was 
most  amusing  in  itself  and  excellently 
well  delivered.  He  ably  fills  the 
vacancy  made  by  D.  K.  Hoope's 
graduation. 

Mr.  Brewster  has  a  beautiful  tenor 
voice  and  was  encored  repeatedly. 
He  was  asked  by  some  Waukegan  ites 
who   had    heard    him    before,    to    sing

"The  Rosary,"  which  he  did  obligingly 
and  well. 

The  Octette's  stunt,  "Mrs.  Win- 
slow's  Soothing  Syrup",  was  the  best 
of  all,  however.  So  good,  its  goodness 
can't  be  explained — it  must  be  heard 
to  be  appreciated. 

The  Swede's  bird,  Pinkey's  deep 
basso  and  the  well  practiced  harmony 
in  the  singing  of  the  whole  club 
all  materially  helped  to  make  the 
audience  feel  that  the  entertainment 
was  good  and  they  expressed  their 
appreciation  by  asking  for  another 
date. 

On  the  whole  the  club  this  year 
is  fully  as  good  as  that  of  last  year. 
The  String  quartette  and  Stevens  are 
missed  naturally  but  their  absence  is 
in  a  great  measure  made  up  by  Mr. 
Headley  whose  diminutive  stature, 
accompanied  by  remarkable  mastery 
over  his  violin  made  him  at  once  a 
favorite  with  the  audience.  Some  of 
the  new  freshmen  songsters  displayed 
a  little  nervousness  at  the  beginning 
of  the  concert  but  they  soon  lost  that 
when  they  got  warmed  up  to  their  jobs, 
and  helped  make  the  first  concert  of 
the  Glee  Club  an  auspicious  commence- 
ment of  a  verv  successful  season.

The  Glee  Club  this  year    will    take 
one  of  the  longest   journeys    the    club 
ever  attempted,  when   they   leave    for 


their  annual  trip  on  the  29th.  The 
trip  will  take  up  nearly  all  of  the  spring 
vacation  and  they  will  cover  nearly 
one  thousand  miles  in  their  travels. 

The  Glee  Club  serves  a  double 
purpose — it  affords  its  members  an 
excellent  way  to  spend  their  vacation 
and  in  addition  it  is  one  of  the  best 
ways  the  College  has  to  advertise. 
Let  us  hope  that  they  will  be  in  such 
good  voice  all  through  the  trip  that 
they  will  be  able  to  charm  enough  to 
come  out  here  next  year  to  fill  up  our 
new  dormitories. 


PHI  PI  EPSILON  DANCE. 

One  of  the  finest  dances  of  the 
season  was  that  given  by  Phi  Pi  Epsi- 
lon  at  the  Winter  Club  last  Friday 
evening.  Over  seventy  people  were 
in  attendance,  a  considerable  number 
of  whom  were  out-of-town  guests. 
The  hall  and  the  reception  room  were 
tastefully  decorated  with  Phi  Pi's  col- 
ors, purple  and  gold.  From  behind  a 
screen  of  palms,  at  one  end  of  the  hall, 
Johnny  Hand's  Orchestra  wove  the 
mystic  spell.  Even  the  beauty  of  the 
night  c©uld  scarcely  lure  the  dancers 
from  the  hall  to  the  balconies.  The 
dance  began  early,  and  ended  at  a  sea- 
sonable hour;  and  it  afforded  all  who 
attended  an  evening  of  unalloyed 
pleasure.

BASEBALL. 


Practice  Game  with  Academy. 

The  first  practice  game  of  baseball 
was  played  with  the  Academy  team 
last  Saturday.  The  game  was  played 
merely  to  get  a  line  on  the  candidates 
and  for  batting  practice.  No  score  was 
kept.  Keithley  and  Callahan  easily- 
kept  the  prep,  school  men  from  getting 
too  many  hits.  The  men  batted  well 
and,  considering  the  condition  of  the 
grounds,  the  fielding  was  good.  Cap- 
tain Milner  was  on  second  base,  where 
he  expects  to  play  this  year;  McCrea 
at  first,  Scott  on  short  and  Paul  Stoltz 
on  third  with  Stark  behind  the  bat. 
Dickey,  Lisk,  Sam  Stoltz,  Baker,  and 
Hall  were  in  the  outfield.  This  lineup 
is  by  no  means  final,  but  gives  some 
idea  of  what  the  makeup  of  the  team 
will  be. 

TracK. 

The  track  squad  has  been  training 
for  some  time  in  the  gymnasium  and 
as  soon  as  the  field  is  dry  will  be  ready 
for  outdoor  work. 

Candidates  for  the  weight  events 
and  long  runs  have  been  outdoors,  but 
because  of  the  mud  the  work  has  not 
been  satisfactory  from  the  standpoint 
of  record  breaking.  However,  the  men 
are  getting  in  good  condition,  and 
Coach  Bradstreet   confidently    expects 


to  see  several  records  smashed    before 
the  season  is  far  advanced. 

Practice  will  start  on  Farwell  Field 
immediately  after  spring  vacation  when 
it  is  thought  that  the  track  and  jump- 
ing pits  will  be  in  good  shape. 


PROOFS  OF  THE  ANCIENT  ORIGIN  OF 
BASEBALL. 

In  Genesis  we  hear  much  of  the  be- 
ginning. 

Eve  stole  first,  Adam  stole  second. 

Cain  made  a  base  hit. 

Abraham  made  a  sacrifice. 

Noah  put  the  dove  out  on  a  fly. 

The  Prodigal  son  made  a  home-run. 

David  struck  out  Goliath. 

We  hear  much  of  foul  flies  in  Pharaoh's 
time. 

We  know  that  Rebecca  was  in  com- 
pany with  a  pitcher. 

Judas  was  a  base-man. 

Jehu's  team  is  highly  praised. 

We  hear  of  the  Egyptians'  short  stop 
near  the  Red  sea. 

Ruth  and  Naomi  did  good  work  in  the 
field. 

A  slave  fanned  Pharaoh. — Ex. 


There  has  been  a  regular  faculty

its  first  meeting  forty-six  of  the  pro-

PROFESSOR  FITE  SPEAKS  AT  CHAPEL. 

Professor  Fite,  of  the  University 
of  Indiana,  spoke  at  chapel  last  Tues- 
day, on  the  need  for  the  intellectual 
man.  During  the  last  fifteen  or  twenty 
years,  there  seems  to  have  been  a 
steady  depreciation  of  the  intellectual 
side  of  college  life.  It  is  being  claimed 
that  a  college  training  is  not  primarily 
for  the  development  of  the  intellectual 
side  of  life,  but  rather  for  giving  one  a 
broad  outlook  on  life.  This  idea  of  the 
so-called  college  life,  is  a  false  estimate 
of  life. 

We  sometimes  think  of  the  intel- 
lectual as  being  somewhat  incompati- 
ble with  the  moral.  Any  such 
distinction  is  a  false  one.  For  no  one 
can  reach  the  highest  moral  develop- 
ment who  is  deficient  intellectually. 

Nothing  is  so  much  needed  in  this 
country  today  as  a  body  of  intellectual 
men.  We  have  corrupt  politics,  not 
because  we  want  it,  but  because  we  are 
not  intelligent  to  choose  the  honest 
rather  than  the  disnonest  men  for  re- 
sponsible offices. 

The  ideal  man  is  "a  scholar  and  a 
gentleman." 


THE  '08  FORESTER. 

This  year's  annual  has  now  gone 
to  press,  and  will  be  larger  and  better 
than  any  previous  issue  of  the  Forester. 
Mr.  R.  H.  Curtis  has  done  himself 
proud  this  year  in  illustrating  the  book, 
and  the  wits  of  the  campus  have  filled 
the  section  devoted  to  grinds  so  full 
that  that  department  had  to  be  enlarged 
by  four  pages.  Altogether  the  book 
will  be  larger  by  twenty-five  pages 
than  the  edition  of  last  year.  The 
book  will  be  ready  for  distribution  on 
April  15th. 


FRATERNITIES   TO    BE   HOUSED    IN  NEW 
DORMITORIES. 

Arrangements  have  been  made 
whereby  all  the  fraternities  are  to  have 
headquarters  in  the  new  dormitories. 
The  present  arrangement  is  the  result 
of  prolonged  conference  between  Act- 
ing President  Halsey  and  representa- 
tives of  the  five  fraternal  organizations. 

These  organizations  have  been  as- 
signed rooms  as  follows: — 

Phi  Pi  Epsilon  is  to  be  housed  in 
the  tower  end  of  the  building  already 
erected,  and  Omega  Psi  is  assigned  the 
first  floor  of  the  outer  section  of  the 
same  building.  Kappa  Sigma  is  to 
have  the  tower  end  of  the  second  dor- 
mitory, and  the  outer  section  of  that 
building  will  be  divided  between  Di- 
gamma  and  Beta  Rho  Delta,  one  taking 
the  first  floor  and  the  other  the  second. 

This  leaves  an  entire  floor  open  to 
non-fraternity  men  and  newcomers. 


VESPER  SERVICE. 

The  Rev.  Calvin  H.  French,  of  the 
class  of  '88,  who  is  now  President  of 
Huron  College,  at  Huron,  South  Da- 
kota, addressed  the  students  at  Vespers 
last  Sunday  afternoon.  His  theme  was 
the  relation  of  the  spiritual  to  the  every 
day  affairs.  We  enjoy  hearing  these 
old  Lake  Forest  men — may  we  have 
more  of  them.  Mrs.  Case,  a  friend  of 
Dr.  Halsey's,  sang. 


At  Yale  a  driving  team    has    been 
organized. 


Y.  M.  C.  A.  ELECTS  OFFICERS. 

The  Young  Men's  Christian  Asso- 
ciation held  its  annual  election  on 
Wednesday  of  last  week.  The  follow- 
ing officers  were  elected:  President, 
Craig;  Vice-President,  Scott;  Treas-

The  Glee  Club 
a  Success. 

The  Glee  Club  scored  its  first  tri- 
umph last  Thursday  night.  A  triumph 
it  was — but  not  merely  a  triumph:  it  was 
an  assurance  of  another  successful  sea- 
son.     The    Waukegan    concert,    aside 


from  upholding  the  former  reputation 
of  the  club,  was  of  especial  value  in 
that  it  proved  the  new  men,  and 
showed  the  club  just  where  its  weak- 
ness lay.  With  this  week  of  practice 
after  the  Waukegan  concert,  the  Lake 
Forest  Glee  Club  shohld  be  in  the  very 
best  shape  to  make  the  greatest  success 
of  years. 

"Open  House"  Night. 

Some  time  ago,  one  of  the  frater- 
nities announced  that  it  would  hold 
open  house  for  a  couple  of  hours  on 
Monday  evening  of  each  week.  We 
expressed  then  our  hope  that  this  move 
would  open  the  way  for  a  closer  fellow- 
ship among  the  men  and  a  more  uni- 
fied college  spirit. 

We  are  glad  now  to  note  that  that 
initiative  has  already  resulted  in  a  gen- 
eral plan  among  the  fraternities  to  hold 
informal  open  houses  in  the  houses  or 
rooms  of  the  various  organizations,  on 
successive  Monday  evenings. 

On  last  Monday  evening  the  sec- 
ond of  these  "open  houses"  took  place. 
Both  have  been  well  attended,  both 
have  abounded  with  good  fellowship, 
and  both  have  been  eminently  worth 
while. 

To  be  sure  an  ideal  plan  has  not 
yet  been  worked  out  for  the  new  cus- 
tom. It  may  be  found  more  effective 
for  two  fraternities  to  open  their  doors 
on  the  same  night,  and  perhaps  once 
in  two  weeks,  rather  than  once  a  week. 
However  that  may  be,  it  is  a  cus- 
tom well  worthy  a  place  among  the 
traditions  of  Lake  Forest  College.  If 
it  be  continued,  it  will  no  doubt|become 
a  factor  that  will  accomplish  in  a  silent 
way  what  the  noise  and  bluster  of  the 
ordinary  enthusiasm  meeting  can  never 
accomplish.  In  a  small  college,  of  all 
institutions,    democracy    and  a  unified 


THE  STENTOR 


252 


spirit  is  essential.  These  informals  are 
capable  of  effecting  that  spirit — let  us 
give  them  a  chance. 

The  Easter^Season. 

The  Easter  season,  with  all  its  de- 
lights, is  upon  us.  It,  like  Christmas- 
tide,  is  one  of  the  few  seasons  in  which 
nearly  every  one  is  influenced  by  re- 
ligious sentiment.  If  you  are  a  cynic, 
you  may  allege  other  causes  for  the 
multitudes  who  throng  the  church  on 
Easter  morn.  But,  notwithstanding,  it 
shows  how  basic  is  that  element  of  re- 
ligion in  the  hearts  of  all  mankind. 


We  are  now  practically  assured 
that  the  two  groups  of  men  now  off  the 
campus, are  to  be  back  in  our  midst  again 
next  year.  We  may  well  congratulate 
ourselves  that  this  is  so.  We  are  quite 
sure  that  they  have  missed  much  in 
being  thus  apart  from  the  college  com- 
munity; and  we  are  certain  that  those 
who  have  been  on  the  campus  have 
missed  a  great  deal  by  their  absence. 
Their  living  on  the  campus  cannot  but 
make  for  the  more  wholesome  college 
spirit  that  we  hear  so  much  of.  We 
hope  that  it  may  never  again  be  neces- 
sary for  any  group  or  groups  to  live  so 
far  from  the  campus. 


Our    next    issue     will     appear    on

Editor  Stentor, 

Lake  Forest,  111. 
Dear  Sir: 

As  an  alumnus  of  Lake  Forest 
College  I  feel  impelled  to  say  to  you 
that  it  was  my  pleasure  to  listen  again 
to  the  Lake  Forest  Glee  Club  at  their 


concert  given  here  on  Thursday  even 
ing  last  and  am  glad  to  say  to  you  that 
it  was  the  best  effort,  from  a  musica 
standpoint,  that  our  Alma  Mater  has 
ever  rendered,  in  my  judgment. 

Since  1897  I  have  heard  every 
Glee  Club  that  has  left  our  Lake  Forest 
campus;  and  the  boys  the  other  even- 
ing showed  what  real  training  can  do 
for  them.  Their  every  appearance 
was  marked  by  thorough  drill  and 
showed  most  creditably  for  themselves 
and  their  trainer  whom  I  have  since 
learned  they  have  been  practicing 
with.  The  whole  tone  of  their  ap- 
pearance led  me  to  ask  how  long  they 
had  practiced,  and  I  was  informed  that 
they  had  been  under  a  director,  which 
accounted  to  me  at  once  for  their  so 
marked  success.  Let  me  say,  sir,  that 
Lake  Forest  College  will  be  well 
honored  this  year  by  its  Glee  Club. 
The  boys  deseive  the  very  best  where- 
ever  they  may  go. 

Fraternally  yours, 

Benjamin  Parmalee. 

Budding  Freshman  Poet — "Do  you 
know — I  do  like  to  write  poetry.  The 
Iambic  pentameter  with  some  original 
variations  is  my  favorite  measure." 

Indignant  Ferry  Haller  (sneer- 
ingly) — "Oh,  yes!  'Original  variation' 
is  good — we  could  easily  see  that  in 
your  'Honeymoon'  effort — you're  good, 
you  are"! 

B.  F.  P.  (who  naively  fails  to  detect 
the  irony  in  her  melodious  tones) — 
"Oh!  yes;  I  know  that.  It  has  incited 
me  to  greater  effert.  Have  you  read 
my  'Descent  to  Hades?'  " 

I.  F.  H.  (meaningly) — "No,  I  haven't. 
But,  goodness  knows,  I  hope  to  see  it."

As  we  go  to  press  word  comes  that 
the  faculty  has  voted  to  close  college 
.at  four  o'clock  Thursday  (to-day) 
afternoon  instead  of  Friday  afternoon. 
This  action  was  occasioned  by  the  de- 
sire of  various  members  of  the  faculty 
to  attend  the  meetings  of  various  edu- 
cational associations,  which  are  now  in 
session  in  the  city. 


Among  the 
Alumni  and  out-of- 
town  guests  at  the 
Phi  Pi  Epsilon  dance  were  Mr.  and

Chancellor  E.  Benjamin  Andrews

prohibited  a  year  ago.  A  new  order

ting. Members  of  the  law  classes  are

he  receives,  $5  will  be  removed  from

The  Glee  Club  Tour 


Glee  Club   Gives    Six    Concerts   in   Illinois    and 
Indiana.     The  Trip   a  Success 


The  tour  just  completed  by  the 
Glee  Club  has,  on  the  whole,  been  one 
of  the  most  successful  that  has  been 
taken  by  a  Lake  Forest  Glee  Club, 
Although  the  Club  struck  some  small 
towns,  yet  from  the  standpoint  of  their 
own  pleasure  not  one  of  the  Club  has 
regretted  it.  Indeed,  the  smaller  towns 
furnished  not  only  the  most  apprecia- 
tive, but  the  largest,  audiences,  as  well. 
And  yet,  so  far  as  it  concerns  the  Col- 
lege, it  would,  in  all  probability,  be 
better  to  sing  only  in  the  larger  places. 

Without  doubt,  from  a  musical 
standpoint,  the  Club  did  better  work 
than  ever  before;  but  at  the  same  time 
it  presented,  for  the  average  audience 
a  program  not  quite  so  varied  and  well 
balanced  as  in  some  previous  years# 
The  String  Quartet  and  the  Rag  Trio 
or  Quartet  were  sorely  missed.  The 
former  would  have  given  the  program 
more  tone,  and  the  latter  was  needed 
to  enliven  the  first  part  of  the  pro- 
gram, 

The  Club  left  the  city  for  Streator 
at  about  noon  on  Friday,  March  21, 
accompanied  by  a  number  of  Lois  Hall 
girls,  who  attended  the  concert  in  the 
evening  en  masse,  to  the    gratification 


of  the  Glee  Club.  The  concert  was 
given  in  the  auditorium  of  the  Streator 
Club,  under  the  auspices  of  that  organ- 
ization. The  audience  was  compara- 
tively small  and  seemingly  unenthusi- 
astic;  but  from  the  words  of  many  of 
the  auditors,  the  concert  was  neverthe- 
less highly  appreciated.  It  being  the 
first  night  out,  the  men  were  a  little 
nervous,  but  the  program  was  well  ren- 
dered. 

On  the  following  morning  the  Club 
took  the  train  for  Fairbury,  where  they 
were  met  and  taken  care  of  by 
''Freddie"  Bethard.  The  concert  of 
the  evening  was  an  improvement  over 
that  at  Streator,  and  a  larger  and  more 
enthusiastic  audience  was  in  attendance. 
The  following  day,  Sunday,  was  also 
spent  in  Fairbury;  and  it  will  be  re- 
membered gratefully  by  the  men  of 
the  Club  as  being  one  of  the  red  letter 
days  of  the  tour  of  1907.  They  will 
not  soon  forget  the  fine  hospitality  en- 
joyed in  the  homes  of  Fairbury.  The 
Club  sang  in  the  morning  at  the  Meth- 
odist church,  and  in  the  evening  at  the 
Presbyterian  church,  where  they  sat 
under  the  voice  of  the  Rev.  Mr.  Davies, 
an   old  alumnus   and  Glee  Club  man.

the  evening  concert  the  opera  house, 
though  small,  was  packed  to  its  limit 
with  an  enthusiastic  audience,  and  they 
were  rewarded  with  one  of  the  best 
concerts  of  the  trip.  For  the  Alma 
Mater  song  "Bud,"  "Blossom,"  and 
Griffith  were  summoned  from  the  audi- 
ence, and,  with  Barrett,  pushed  to  the 
front,  very  much  to  the  gratification  of 
the  audience.  Great  credit  is  due 
"Bud"  for  the  success  of  the  concert, 
inasmuch  as  he  took  the  Club  to  Shel- 
don entirely  on  his  own   responsibility. 

The  concert  at  Logansport,  (al- 
though the  men  were  cheered  by  the 
presence  of  their  former  leader, 
Stevens,  and  a  number  of  other  old 
men,)  good  as  it  was,  did  not  come  up 
to  the  standard  set  the  night  before. 
For  this  one  concert,  Mr.  Stevens  re- 
sumed his  old  place  on  the  program  as 
violinist.  He  played  Raff's  Cavatina 
— doubtless  more  for  the  Glee  Club 
men  than  for  the  audience. 

In  the  course  of  the  journey  to 
Gilman  next  day,  the  train  delayed  an 
hour  and  forty  minutes  at  Effner.  which 
marks  the  state  line.  Accordingly  by 
twos  and  fours  nearly  all  the  men 
trooped  to  Sheldon,  two  miles  and  a 
half  distant,  where  they  again  took  the 
train  for  Gilman.  The  concert  given 
here  was,  without  question,  the  best  of 
the  week,  and  the  audience  was  enthu- 
siastic from  start  to  finish. 

On  Thursday  night  the  Club  sang 
its  swan  song  before  a  Pontiac  audi- 
ence; but,  despite  the  excellence  of 
the  concert,  the  audience  failed  to  rise 
to  a  fever  heat  of  enthusiasm.  As 
during  its  stop  at  Pontiac  two  years 
ago,  the  entire  Club  was  royally  enter- 
tained   at   lunch   at  the  reformatory — 


this  time  through  the  hospitality  of 
Mrs.  Mallory,  wife  of  Superintendent 
Mallory. 

The  following  is  the  program  pre- 
sented by  the  Club:

Mention  must  be  made  of  some  of 
the  special  features  of  the  program 
presented.  As  was  predicted,  Mr. 
Schwartz  did  come  into  great  favor 
with  his  audiences.  His  work  im- 
proved steadily  during  the  trip.  Mr. 
Brewster's  solos,  of  course,  found  the 
greatest  favor  everywhere  the  Club 
sang.  Many  of  his  audiences  esteemed 
it  no  small  privilege  to  hear  a  tenor

THE  STENTOR 


BASEBALL  SEASON  OPENED  YESTERDAY. 


LaKe  Forest  Vs.  Chicago  University. 

By  the  time  this  number  of  the 
STENTOR  13  issued  the  first  baseball 
game  of  the  season  will  have  been 
played  with  Chicago  University. 

Because  of  the  weather  conditions 
it  has  been  impossible  to  make  the 
grounds  on  Farwell  Field  fit  to  play  on 
so  that  the  team  was  forced  to  open 
the  season  without  having  even  prac- 
ticed on  a  finished  diamond.  On  the 
other  hand  Chicago  has  played  a  num- 
ber of  games  with  fast  teams  and 
should  be  in  excellent  form.  Whether 
or  not  the  score  was  proportionate  to 
the  amount  of  practice  we  cannot  tell 
until  the  next  issue. 

Saturday  afternoon  the  first  home 
game  will  be  played  with  Armour  In- 
stitute. 

Residents  in  the  neighborhood  of 
Farwell  Field  have  been  quietly  resting 
for  some  time.  Let's  get  busy  and 
awaken  them  with  a  little  rooting. 

Talcott  Resigns  Captaincy  of  TracK  Team. 

R.  G.  Talcott,  '08,  has  resigned  the 
captaincy  of  the  track  team  and  Louis 
Scott,  '09,  has  been  elected  to  fill  the 
vacancy. 

Talcott  is  carrying  extra  hours 
this  semester  and  says  that  he  cannot 
spare  enough  time  from  his  studies  to 


warrant  his  holding  the  position.  ScottT 
though  a  sophomore,  is  a  sure  point 
winner  and  an  able  man  for  the  place. 

With  the  opening  of  the  track  sea- 
son but  a  few  weeks  away  the  track 
team  is  still  deficient  in  numbers. 
Several  men  have  been  out  training 
faithfully  and  are  showing  up  well. 
These  men  will  probably  win  points  in 
the  meets  this  spring;  but  a  few  points 
will  not  win  a  meet,  and  that  is  what 
the  team  is  for. 

There  seems  to  be  a  general  im- 
pression among  the  students  that  we 
are  to  have  a  track  team,  but  where 
they  expect  it  to  come  from  it  is  hard 
to  tell.  With  the  exception  of  the  few 
mentioned  above,  every  one  seems  to 
be  training  to  hold  down  the  bleachers. 
Of  course  it  is  nice  to  have  plenty  of 
rooters,  and  the  rooters  usually  get 
some  enjoyment  out  of  the  meets,  but 
even  they  might  find  the  contests 
rather  uninteresting  in  case  we  have 
no  team  to  put  in  the  field. 

It  is  up  to  some  one  to  get  busy, 
and  that  some  one  means  every  able- 
bodied  student  residing  south  of  the 
ravine.

ZION  CITY  CONCERT. 

One  of  the  most  unique  experi- 
ences through  which  the  Glee  Club  has 
passed  was  the  concert  that  it  gave  in 
the  Educational  Building  at  Zion  City 
last  Thursday  night. 

The  audience,  numbering  seven  or 
eight  hunpred  persons,  was  at  once  the 
largest,  and  one  of  the  most  appreci- 
ative audiences  that  the  Club  has  met. 
To  all  appearances  it  was  like  any  other 
audience,  save  in  that  the  program  was 
both  opened  and  concluded  with 
prayer,  and  that  an  expurgated  pro- 
gram was  demanded.  (It  had  not  oc- 
curred to  any  of  the  Club  that  any  of 
its  program  was  essentially  wrong  till 
that  request  was  made.)  In  accordance 
with  the  request  Mr.  Brewster  omitted 
singing  "A  Man's  Story,"  in  the  first 
part  of  the  program,  and  the  second 
part  was  changed  as  follows: 

•'Worship  of  God  in  Nature         -  Handel

(c)  Now  the  Day  is  Over  -  -  Octette 
Despite  the  apology  which,  we  un- 
derstand, was  published  in  the  Zion 
City  paper  for  certain  features  of  the 
concert,  the  entire  program  was  appre- 
ciatively, even  enthusiastically  received- 
The  two  readers  and  the  Child  Elocu- 
tionists made  the  greatest  hit  of  the 
season  there.  The  latter  youthful 
prodigies  were  somewhat  at  a  disad- 
vantage in  having  to  go  through  their 


contortions  in  dress  suits  (by  request 
again)  rather  than  in  their  conventional 
costumes,  but  they  bore  up  bravely. 
The  Club  was  assisted  by  Miss  Rey- 
nolds, who  accompanied  for  Mr.  Brew- 
ster's solos,  and  for  the  two  sacred 
choruses. 


DR.  NOLLEN'S   ADDRESS. 

Dr.  Nollen,  of  the  Department  of 
German  at  Indiana  University,  gave 
an  excellent  talk  to  the  students  at 
Monday's  Chapel  service.  He  es- 
poused the  cause  of  the  college,  and 
gave  some  irrefutable  proofs  for  its 
right  to  exist.  The  college  is,  first  of 
all,  a  conservator  of  the  knowledge  and 
the  culture  of  the  past.  It  is,  secondly, 
the  place,  above  all  others,  where  one 
may  form,  or  rather  discover,  his  taste 
for  the  particular  line  of  work  for  which 
he  is  best  fitted.  It  is,  again,  the  one 
institution  that  produces  the  well- 
rounded  man  or  woman.  The  docton 
the  scientist,  or  whatever  he  be,  must' 
first  of  all,  be  a  man. 

From  the  tendency  toward  over- 
specialization,  there  is  coming  a  reac- 
tion— and  the  college  is  again  coming 
into  favor. 


VESPER  SERVICE. 


In  the  absence  of  the  speaker  of 
the  hour,  the  Rev.  John  N.  Freeman, 
of  Chicago,  Professor  Halsey  gave  a 
short  talk  on  the  relations  of  Christ  to 
the  family,  and  to  the  social  and  in- 
dustrial life  about  him.  The  family 
was  to  him  the  most  sacred  of  institu- 
tions. The  teachings  of  Christ  are  the 
basis  for  what  is  best  in  the  social  and 
industrial  systems  of  today. 

Miss  Cutler  sang  one  of  the  more 
rarely  heard  settings  of  "Abide  With 
Me."

The  Glee  Club  Trip. 

Was  it  worth  while?  With  all  the 
energy  and  time  consumed  in  prepara- 
tion, the  strain  of  mind  and  body,  and 
the  expense  necessitated,  was  the  trip 
worth  while?  If  there  is  anything 
of  value  in  a  closer  spirit  of  fel- 
lowship among  the  men  of  the  Club — 
representative  men  as  they  are — or  in 
a  task  well  performed,  or  of  worth  in 
the  best  kind  of  advertising  that  the 
College  can  receive,  then  it  has  been 
eminently  worth  while. 

As  an  advertiser  of  the  College, 
the  value  of  such  a  tour  cannot  easily 
be  overestimated — and  this  year,  par- 
ticularly, the    success  of  the  Club  as  a 


musical  organization  has  been  greatly 
augmented  by  the  gentlemanly  behav- 
ior of  its  members. 

In  this  connection  we  want  to  en- 
ter a  protest  against  the  action  of  the 
faculty  just  one  week  before  the  trip 
which  resulted  in  the  loss  of  one  or  two- 
men  from  the  Club.  We  are  heartily 
in  accord  with  the  substance  of  its- 
action;  but  that  such  action  should  be 
taken  at  such  a  time,  leaving  no  oppor- 
tunity for  the  making  up  of  delinquent 
work,  we  think  not  quite  fair.  The  ab- 
sence of  these  one  or  two  men  made 
the  difference  between  one  of  the  mosf 
successful  tours  and  the  most  successful 
tour  of  the  Glee  Club. 

Mr.  Brewster  and  Mr.  Talcott  are 
to  be  congratulated  for  giving  the  Club 
such  thorough  preparation,  and  putting 
it  into  such  excellent  form  as  it  showed 
during  the  week;  and  Manager  Keith- 
ley  is  to  be  commended  for  giving  to 
the  Club  one  of  the  best  and  most 
pleasurable  trips  it  has  enjoyed. 


DR.    HARLAN  ACCEPTS  IMPORTANT  POSI- 
TION WITH    GEORGE  WASHINGTON 
UNIVERSITY. 

It  may  be  of  great  interest  to  the 
community  in  and  about  Lake  Forest 
College  to  learn  of  the  appointment 
of  ex-President  Richard  D.  Harlan  to 
the  head  position  in  the  newly  begun 
Enlargement  Movement  of  the  George 
Washington  University,  Washington,. 
D.  C.  The  acceptance  letter  of  Dr. 
Harlan,  which  we  print  herewith,  will- 
explain  the  full  scope  and  the  national 
importance  of  Dr.  Harlan's  new  edu- 
cational activities. 

"My  Dear  President  Needham: 

"The  invitation  to  assist  in  the  effort 
to  enlarge  the  scope  of  The  George 
Washington  University  has  appealed 
to  me  very  strongly,  and  I  have  much 
pleasure  in  accepting  it. 


THE  STENTOR

"To  those  engaged  in  this  enter- 
prise it  is  an  encouraging  fact  that  the 
plan  of  establishing  a  great  university 
at  the  national  capital  is  older  than  the 
nation  itself.  It  was  vigorously  pressed 
by  James  Madison  and  Charles  Pinck- 
ney  in  the  Constitutional  Convention 
of  1787.  President  Washington  him- 
self, in  a  letter  written  in  1795,  urged 
it  upon  the  attention  of  the  Commis- 
sioners of  the  District,  and  he  again 
earnestly  advocated  it  in  a  speech  to 
both  Houses  of  Congress  in  1796.  His 
private  letters  during  the  closing  years 
of  his  life  also  abound  in  proofs  of  his 
absorbing  interest  in  the  project. 

"How  near  this  plan  was  to  the 
heart  of  George  Washington  is  finally 
shown  in  that  remarkable  and  long- 
neglected  paragraph  in  his  last  will  and 
testament  in  which  he  lifts  up  before 
the  American  people  a  splendid  vision 
of  a  great  University  at  the  Capital  of 
the  Nation,  in  which  'youths  of  talent' 
from  'all  parts  of  this  great  empire 
could  acquire  'knowledge  in  the  prin- 
ciplef  of  Politics  and  Good  Govern- 
ment,' and  thereby  lose  those  'state 
prejudices' and 'local  jealouses  *  *  * 
which,  when  carried  to  excess,  are 
never-failing  sources  of  disquietude  to 
the  public  mind,  and  pregnant  with 
mischievous  consequences  to  this 
country.' 

"A  careful  analysis  of  all  that 
Washington  said  and  wrote  upon  this 
subject  shows  that,  according  to  his 
plan,  the  three  chief  functions  of  such 
a  university  would  be  these: 

"(1)  The  creation  of  the  spirit  of 
unity  and  the  deepening  of  the  sense  of 
nationality; 

"(2)  The  increase  of  'knowledge 
in  the  principles  of  Politics  and  Good 
Government' ; 

"(3)  The  'promotion  of  Science'  in 
the    interest   of   'the    advancement   of 


Agriculture,  Commerce,  and  Manufac- 
tures.' 

"A  century  of  scholars  and  states- 
men have  not  been  able  to  work  out  a 
wiser  or  more  comprehensive  outline 
of  what  should  be  the  special  mission 
of  a  great  University  at  the  Capital  of 
the  Nation,  except,  that  all  are  now 
agreed  that  the  chief  field  of  such  a 
university  should  be  in  what  is  known 
as  graduate  or  post-graduate  work, 
including  professional  courses. 

"The  magnificent  Government 
libraries,  scientific  collections,  appara- 
tus and  laboratories — which  perhaps 
could  never  be  duplicated  in  an  educa- 
tional institution  at  any  other  locality, 
even  at  the  expenditure  of  manv  mil- 
lions of  dollars — would  offer  extraordi- 
nary advantages  to  the  advanced  stu- 
dent in  Applied  Science,  independ- 
ently of  the  libraries,  laboratories,  etc., 
of  the  University  itself. 

"Quite  as  unique  is  the  opportunity 
presented  at  the  seat  of  the  General 
Government  for  the  development  of 
really  great  Schools  of  the  Political 
Sciences,  Jurisprudence,  Diplomacy, 
and  International  Law.  I  am  glad  to 
learn  that  your  Trustees  expect  to 
make  such  schools  as  these  the  lead- 
ing departments  of  the  enlarged 
George  Washington  University.  If 
your  new  College  of  the  Political 
Sciences,  and  your  Department  of 
Law  (which  would  embrace  all  the 
subjects  just  mentioned)  can  be  muni- 
ficently endowed  and  equipped,  and 
manned  by  the  ablest  teachers  to  be 
found  in  this  country  or  abroad,  The 
George  Washington  University  would 
attract  advanced  students  from  every 
State  in  the  Union  and,  to  some 
extent,  from  other  parts  of  North  and 
South  America.

THIS  SEASON'S  STYLE. 

By  the  Fashion  Editor. 

I  took  my  last  year's  Panama, 

And  punched  it  out  of  shape, 

Then  dyed  it  in  some  Alice  blue, 

And  fastened  on  some  crepe. 

I  pulled  the  thing  way  out  in  front, 

And  bent  it  up  behind; 

I  stuck  some  feathers  on  the  side, 

The  biggest  I  could  find. 

I  took  it  to  a  maniac. 

And  bade  him  do  his  worst; 

He  added  some  few  touahes, 

Till  it  looked  a  thing  accursed, 

And  then  I  gave  it  to  my  wife.

For  "just  the  sweetest  hat!"

THE  STENTOR 


New  President  Elected 


Dr.  John  ScHolte  Nollen,  Professor  of  German, 
Indiana  University,  Elected  to  Presidency 

of  Lake  Forest  College. 


After  careful  deliberation,  the 
Board  of  Trustees  at  its  last  meeting 
unanimously  elected  Dr.  John  Scholte 
Nollen,  head  of  the  department  of 
German  at  Indiana  University,  to  the 
Presidency  of  Lake  Forest  College. 
This  action  was  taken  by  the  Trustees 
immediately  after  a  joint  meeting  with 
the  Faculty,  thus  giving  to  the  appoint- 
ment the  sanction  of  that  body. 

Dr.  Nollen,  it  will  be  remembered, 
visited  Lake  Forest  just  before  spring 
vacation,  having  been  summoned  by 
the  Trustees  from  Europe,  where  he 
has  been  on  leave  of  absence  with  his 
bride  of  less  than  a  year,  enjoying  his 
honeymoon. 

Dr.  Nollen  was  bom  at  Pella,  Iowa, 
January  15,  1869,  received  his  collegiate 
education  at  the  University  of  Iowa, 
where  he  graduated  in  1888.  After 
studying  for  several  years  in  various 
German  universities,  he  received  the 
degree  of  Ph.  D.  from  Leipzig  in  1893. 
For  the  next  ten  years  Dr.  Nollen  was 
Professor  of  Modern  Languages  at 
Iowa  College,  from  which  place  he  was 
called  to  Indiana  University,  where  he 
has  built  up  a  strong  German  depart- 
ment. 

Dr.  Nollen  is  well  known  among 
scholarly  men  both  at  home  and  abroad. 
He  is  a  Phi  Beta  Kappa  man,  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Goethe  Gesellschaft,  of  the 
Modern  Language  Association  of 
America,  and  of  the  American  Biblio- 


graphical Society.  He  has  written 
several  books,  chief  among  which  are, 
"Goethe's  Goetz  von  Bulichingen  auf 
der  Buehne,"  and  a  "Chronology  and 
Practical  Bibliography  of  Modern  Ger- 
man Literature,"  for  the  Lake  German 
series. 

The  Chicago  Record-Herald 
quotes  the  following  words  from  Pro- 
fessor John  M.  Clapp,  of  the  English 
Department  here,  touching  his  qualifi- 
cations for  the  office: 

"Dr.  Nollen  is  pre-eminently  a 
man  fitted  for  the  presidency.  He  is 
a  great  hustler  and  an  indefatigable 
worker.  Four  years  ago  he  took 
charge  of  the  German  department  at 
Indiana,  which  was  completely  run 
down.  He  reorganized  it  and  built  it 
up,  working  winter  and  summer,  until 
now  over  .  three  hundred  students  are 
enrolled  in  his  classes.  He  is  a  man 
of  frank,  straightforward  honesty, 
friendly,  simple  and  tactful,  always 
gaining  his  point.  With  such  a  man 
at  its  head,  and  with  the  splendid  new 
equipment  with  which  Lake  Forest  is 
to  start  out  next  year,  the  institution 
may  well  look  forward  to  a  new  era  of 
growth  and  achievement." 

The  appointment  of  Dr.  Nollen 
has  came  as  somewhat  of  a  surprise  to 
the  student  body,  inasmuch  as  they 
have  not  had  opportunity  to  become 
acquainted  with  him;  but  it  has  never- 
theless met  with  almost  universal  ac- 
clamation.

THE  HOME  CONCERT. 

The  Glee  Club  closes  the  Season 
of '07  with  its  annual  Home  Concert, 
Saturday  evening,  at  the  Art  Institute. 
The  Club  invariably  makes  this  con- 
cert its  best.  If  you  want  to  hear  the 
Club  at  its  best  during  one  of  the 
most  successful  seasons  it  has  ever 
experienced,  come,  and  you  will  not 
be  disappointed.  Even  if  you  have 
heard  the  concert  in  whole,  or  in  part, 
you  cannot  afford  to  miss  this,  the  last 
and  best  concert  of  the  year.  The 
Glee  Club  needs  your  support. 

If  you  haven't  heard  about  the 
"little  cat,"  or  "The  Collusion  Between 
a  Alligator  and  a  Water-Snail,"  you 
have  still  something;  to  live  for. 


KAPPA  SIGMA  DANCE. 

Kappa  Sigma  gave  its  annual 
Dance  at  the  Winter  Club  last  Friday 
night.  Almost  fifty  couple  were  pres- 
ent, dancing  to  the  music  of  Johnny 
Hand's  Orchestra. 

The  color  scheme  of  the  decora- 
tions was  green  and  red;  the  walls 
were  draped  with  streamers,  and  the 
lights  softened  with  green  and  red 
shades.  The  orchestra  was  ensconced 
behind  a  colored  screen.  The  pro- 
grams were  of  green  leather  on  which 
appeared  a  seal  of  mother  of  pearl. 

For  the  Kappa  Sigma  Extra,  suit 
cases  and  tickets  were  given  out  to  the 
girls,  and  to  the  men  caps  and  tickets. 
After  matching  tickets,  each  couple 
started  on  its  destination  to  the  tune 
■of  "So  Long,  Mary." 

Amongsthe  old  Kappa  Sigma  men 
present  were  E.  Scott,  McCullough, 
Hanson  and  "Jimmie"  Smith,  besides 
Kappa  Sigma  men  from  Chicago  and 
Wabash. 


YOUNG     MEN'S     AND     YOUNG      WOMEN'S 

CHRISTIAN  ASSOCIATIONS  HOLD 

JOINT  MEETING. 

The  Two  Christian  Associations  of 
the  College  held  their  first  joint  meet- 
ing of  the  year  last  Thursday  evening 
in  the  Chapel.  The  Rev.  F.  E.  Hig- 
gins,  who  spoke  in  Chapel  Thursday  at 
noon,  described  graphically  his  work 
and  life  among  the  lumber-jacks  of  the 
Wisconsin  forests.  Despite  the  wide- 
spread movement  of  missions,  almost 
nothing  had  been  done  for  these  men, 
who  are  subject  to  peculiarly  strong 
temptations,  and  who  live  a  life  almost 
devoid  of  elevating  influences.  But 
through  it  all,  they  preserve  hearts  that 
are  quick  in  response  to  kindness. 
The  speaker  concluded  with  an  appeal 
to  the  students,  that  they  should  never 
forget,  in  their  striving  for  money,  for 
fame,  for  the  things  of  the  world,  those 
who  have  no  such  opportunities,  such 
surroundings  as  they. 


A  man  must  aim  well  in  this  world 
to  miss  fire  in  the  next. 


BETA  RHO  DELTA  HOLDS  "OPEN  HOUSE." 

The  Beta  Rho  Deltas  took  their 
turn  at  "receiving"  the  men  of  the 
college,  Monday  night,  and  with 
splendid  success.  The  evening  was 
made  the  more  notable  by  the  presence 
of,  and  a  talk  from  Dr.  Halsey,  our 
Acting  President.  "I  have  watched," 
he  said  in  substance  "particularly  dur- 
ing this  year,  the  growth  of  a  splendid 
college  spirit.  There  have  been  times 
when  there  was  danger  of  a  'frat'  spirit 
springing  up.  The  real  fraternal 
spirit  is  what  we  want;  and  that  spirit 
is  apparent  here  tonight.  I  came  here 
at  the  instance  of  the  Beta  Rho  Deltas, 
but  I  find  here  men  from  every  group 
mingling  in  fellowship."  *  *  *  In 
conclusion  Dr.  Halsey  announced  in- 
formally the  election  of  Dr.  Nollen  to 
the  presidency.

Baseball  Season  Opens. 

Lake  Forest  opened  the  baseball 
season  with  two  games  last  week  and 
it  was  shown  in  both  that  the  material 
for  the  team  is  good  but  that  the  men 
are  sadly  lacking  in  practice.  We 
were  defeated  in  both  games  but  the 
results  were  neither  surprising  nor 
discouraging. 

It  was  impossible  to  get  the  dia- 
mond on  Farwell  field  in  condition  to 
be  played  on  before  Saturday  so  that 
at  the  game  Wednesday  with  Chicago 
University  the  team  not  only  made  its 
first  appearance  in  a  college  game  for 
the  season  but  also  its  first  on  a  finished 
diamond.     The  result  is  shown  below. 

In  Saturday's  game  with  Armour 
Institute  the  men  showed  a  decided 
improvement  in  every  part  of  -the 
game.  They  played  together  better 
and  the  batting  and  fielding  were  fifty 
per  cent  better  than  in  the  previous 
game.  Armour's  victory  was  due  to  a 
great  extent  to  the  pitching  of  Trink- 
ham,  who  ended  with  seventeen  strike- 
outs to  his  credit.  Lake  Forest's 
single  run  came  in  the  first  inning 
when  Scott  got  to  second  on  a  pretty 
hit,  was  advanced  to  third  by  an  error 
and  scored  on  Keithley's  sacrifice. 

Keithly,  who  made  his  debut  as  a 
pitcher  in  the  Chicago  game,  did  good 
work,  holding  the  visitors  to  six 
scattered  hits.  Before  the  season  is 
much  advanced  he  should  be  a  star  in 
his  department. 

Considering  the  improvement 
shown   in    the    team's   playing   in    the 


short  time  between    these    two    games 

arid    the    fact   that    the    diamond    has 

been  in  good    shape    for  practice    this 

week,  it  is  thought  that  we  will  have  a 

different  story  to    tell    of  the    Knox 

game  which  takes  place  tomorrow.

Inter-Class  Meet. 

The  annual  inter-class  track  meet 
•will  be  held  Saturday  on  Farwell  Field. 
The  Freshman  and  Sophomore  classes 
have  organized  teams  and  have  been 
training  for  some  time,  while  the 
Juniors  and  Seniors,  though  entering 
a  number  of  men,  have  made  no  at- 
tempt at  organization,  and  it  is  gen- 
erally expected  that  as  a  result  the 
fight  for  first  place  will  be  between  the 
two  under  classes.  The  meet  has  al- 
ways been  interesting,  and  it  is  thought 
that  this  one  will  not  prove  an  excep- 
tion. 

Inter-Fraternity  Baseball  League. 

The  fraternities  Phi  Pi  Epsilon, 
Kappa  Sigma,  Omega  Psi,  and  Di- 
gamma  Alpha  Upsilon  have  formed  an 
Inter-Fraternity  Baseball  League. 
The  representatives  of  these  fraterni- 
ties met  and  made  up  the  following 
schedule. 

Monday,  April  29 — Omega  Psi  vs.  Digamma. 
''         May  6 — Phi  Pi  E.  vs.  Kappa  Sigma. 
"     i£ — Omega  Psi  vs.  Kappa    Sig. 
"     20 — Phi  Pi  E.  vs.   Digamma. 
"     27 — Kappa  Sigma  vs.  Digamma. 
"         June  3 — Phi  Pi  E.  vs.  Omega  Psi. 
There  are  to  be  six  games,  and  all 
are  to  be  played  on  Monday  afternoon 
.at  4  p.  m.  on  Farwell  Field. 

The  admission  is  to  be    ten    cents 


per  game  or  fifty  cents  for  the  whole 
series.  The  proceeds  of  the  series  are 
to  help  defray  the  expenses  of  the 
College  baseball  team. 

The  finances  of  the  baseball  team 
are  not  any  too  plenty  and  in  order  for 
the  team  to  be  able  to  finish  their 
large  schedule  in  a  fitting  manner  the 
fraternities  have  voluntarily  pledged 
themselves  to  furnish  amusement  for 
the  college  community  for  the  benefit 
of  the  baseball  team. 

The  season  tickets  will  be  on  sale 
at  the  Book  Store  and  everyone  ought 
to  get  one.  The  first  game  is  next 
Monday  between  Omega  Psi  and 
Digamma. 

The  Batteries:  Harris  and  Michael 
for  Omega  Psi  and  Wilson  and  Jones 
for  Digamma.  A  large  and  handsome 
pennant  is  to  be  awarded  the  cham- 
pionship team. 

Notes. 

The  Freshman  track  team  has  a 
meet  scheduled  to  take  place  today 
with  Highland  Park  High  School.  The 
first  year  men  have  a  number  of  good 
track  men  ajnong  them  and  are  confi- 
dent of  a  victory. 

The  only  fault  with  the  track  on 
Farwell  Field  is  that  it  has  a  tendency 
to  slip  from  under  the  runners's  feet, 
Waddell's  patent  binder  is  beingtested 
on  a  section  of  it  and  if  the  operation 
is  successful  will  be  applied  to  the 
straightaway  immediately. 


George  Hicks,  '04,  and  a  former 
editor  of  The  Record,  has  received  the 
appointment  to  West  Point  from  this 
district.  He  will  enter  next  fall.  At 
present  he  is  devoting  time  to  the  old 
cause,  his  high'  school.  He  is  doing 
some  work  for  the  Annual. — The

Hail!    The  New  President! 

The  news  that  we  have  been  await- 
ing, but  scarcely  expecting  as  yet,  has 
come — we  have  found  a  President! 

Of  the  man  we  know  nothing;  we 
know  only  of  his  scholastic  record — 
and  a  splendid  record  it  is!  But  he  is 
one  of  whom  all  who  know  him  speak 
in  the  highest  terms.  He  is  one  of 
whom  our  own  Acting  President,  Dr. 
Halsey,  who  has  carried  on  so  wisely 
and  so  well  the  duties  of  a  president, 
has  said  that  it  is  an  inspiration  to 
grasp  his  hand,  and  to  look  into  his 
eye.  He  is  a  young  man,  "young 
enough  to  stay  for  twenty  years,"  if 
he  is  the  man  we've   been  looking    for, 


and  we  believe  he  is!  What  an  out- 
look it  is!  Four  beautiful  new  build- 
ings, and  a  President,  under  whose 
guidance  Lake  Forest  College  may 
live  and  grow  for  twenty  years  without 
a  break!' 


ECHOES  OF  THE    GLEE  CLUB    TRIP. 

There  are  few  entertainments  at 
the  opera  house  which  escape  criticism 
and  receive  a  uniformly  favorable  ver- 
dict. The  concert  of  the  Lake  Forest 
Glee  Club  Wednesday  night  of  last 
week  was  one  of  these  elect.  Re- 
garded either  as  a  laugh  producer  or 
from  the  musical  point  of  view,  it  is 
equally  to  be  eommended.  The  audi- 
ence which  packed  the  opera  house 
was  generous  in  its  applause,  sending, 
encore  after  encore  till  the  most  exact- 
ing performer  could  not  but  be  satisfied 
with  his  reception.  Socially,  as  well  as- 
entertainers,  the  college  boys  were  the 
lions  of  the  town  during  their  short 
stay.  Should  they  ever  make  a  return' 
date,  they  will  be  assured  of  a  largei 
audience  than  that  which  greeted  them-' 
on  their  first  visit. — Gilman  Star. 

Taken  as  a  whole  the  show  was 
first  class  and  was  appreciated  as 
it  should  be  by  the  audience.  They 
were  not  stingy  with  their  encores^ 
and  left  a  good  impression  with  the 
Sheldon  people.  Should  they  decide 
to  come  to  Sheldon  again  next  season 
they  would  doubtless  be  greeted  by  & 
much  larger  audience.  —  Sheldon 
Journal. 


Harvard  University  has  raised  it

additional  fee  of  $20  being  charged' 
for  each  extra  course.  The  total  col- 
lege expenses  of  the  average  man  are 
thus  increased  bv  over  Sioo. — Ex.

"09"  FORESTER  ELECTIONS. 

The  Sophomore  class  held  their 
election  to  fill  the  positions  of  Editor 
and  Manager  for  the  next  year's 
Forester.  Jacob  Schwartz  was  elected 
editor  and  John  B.  Kessler,  manager. 

The  data  for  the  next  Year  Book 
commenced  to  be  gathered  as  soon 
as  this  year's  Forester  went  to  press, 
and  all  the  grinds,  etc.,  that  are  turned 
in  now  will  be  issued  in  the  '09  book, 
In  order  to  have  the  publication  com- 
plete it  is  necessary  that  the  staff-elect 
have  the  cooperation  of  the  entire 
student  body  and  if  anything  of  interest 
occurs  write  it  out  and  place  it  in  the 
Forester  Box  in  North  Hall;  and  if 
the  material  is  good  and  you  put  in 
enough  of  it  you  will  be  in  line  for  the 
generous  prizes  that  the  Forester 
gives  every  year  to  those  that  assist. 


LAKE   FOREST   DEBATE    TEAM    CHOSEN. 

The  Freshman  debating  team 
which  will  meet  Lake  Forest  on  May 
10  was  chosen  at  the  inter-society 
preliminaries  Saturday  evening.  The 
men  selected  are  Leverett  Lyon, 
leader,  Lloyd  Maurer,  Lee  Wackman 
and  Paul  Payne,  alternate.  The  judges 
were  Philip  Kennedy,  Ed  Light,  '06, 
and  Charles  Worf,  '08.  The  Lake 
Forest  debate  is  the  only  one  which 
will  be  held  in  Beloit  this  year  and 
comes  a  week  before  Beloit's  Sopho- 
more team  will  be  speaking  against 
Lawrence  at  Appleton. — The  Round

The  championship  title  of  the

played  off  because  Wisconsin  has 
broken  training. — Ex. 


A  NEW  WORK  IN  HISTORICAL  BIOGRAPHY. 

There  has  just  issued  from  the 
press  of  Campion  and  Sons,  Philadel- 
phia, a  new  work  by  B.  A.  Konkle,  '87, 
entitled  "The  Life  of  Chief  Justice 
Ellis  Lewis,  1 798-1871."  It  will  be  re- 
membered that  Mr.  Konkle  has  already 
published  the  lives  of  Thomas  Smith 
and  Thomas  Williams,  men  of  impor- 
tance in  our  earlier  history,  and  at  least 
three  other  monographs  about  Penn- 
sylvanians,  prominent  in  the  state  and 
nation,  are  in  preparation.  The  pres- 
ent work  deals  with  the  colonial  period 
and  the  period  following  up  to  the  civil 
war,  somewhat  from  the  Democratic 
view-point,  and  contains  some  notable 
letters  of  Buchanan  and  Taney,  now 
first  published.  Lewis  was  a  Jackso- 
nian  Democrat  who  still  supported  the 
United  States  Bank,  and  interesting 
light  is  thrown  on  the  bank's  great 
fight  with  the  President.  Incidentally 
the  book  contains  much  matter  bearing 
on  the  civilization  and  early  history  of 
Pennsylvania. 


VESPER  SERVICE. 

Professor  Gage,  of  Parsons  Col- 
lege, who  spoke  in  Chapel  about  a 
month  ago,  addressed  the  students 
again  at  Vespers  on  Sunday  afternoon. 
He  spoke  upon  the  subject  of  "The 
Full  Grown  Man."  He  who  would  be 
strong,  who  would  measure  up  to  the 
full  stature  of  man  must  first  of  all 
have  control  of  himself.  Many  mighty 
men  have  failed  in  that  they  could  not 
control  themselves.  *  *  *  But 
however  strong  one  may  be,  he  would 
be  stronger  if  the  mind  of  Christ  were 
in  him.  For  in  Him  is  the  power  that 
can  give  one  that  mastery  over  self, 
which  is  the  first  essential.

having  called  him  ''A  burly  Dutch- 
man." They  parted  the  best  of 
friends  after  Keith  assured  Tinkham 
that  he  had  Dutch  in  him  himself  and 
that  the  implication  was  meant  for  a 
compliment  rather  than  otherwise.

SOPHOMORE  -  FRESHMAN     DECLAMATION 
CONTEST. 

The  annual  Freshman-Sophomore 
Declamation  Contest  will  be  held  on

usual  prizes  are  offered  this  year,  $25 
for  the  best  oratorical  declamation  and 
$25  for  the  best  dramatic  one. 

Those  who  desire  to  compete  must 
hand  in  their  names  and  the  title  of 
their  selection  to  Mr.  Burrill  before 
the  25th  of  April.  Therev  will  be  only

and  these  four  will  be  picked  by  their 
successs  in  the  preliminary,  which  takes 
place  on  May  14th. 

Two  former  Beloit  baseball  players 
have  started  the  season  with  other 
teams.  Perring.  who  starred  at  third 
base  during  Morey's  last  year,  two 
years  ago,  is  playing  for  the  Cleveland 
Americans.  Though  he  is  playing 
against  Bradley  of  that  team,  one  of 
the  best  third  basemen  of  the  country, 
for  the  position  of  third  base,  he  has 
shown  up  well  during  the  first  few 
games  and,  from  all  reports,  stands  a 
good  chance  of  being  kept  throughout 
the  season.  Rockwell,  who  was  at  Be- 
loit for  a  year  and  played  sub-left- 
fielder  to  Sammy  Ransom,  is  playing 
good  ball  as  sub-catcher  on  the  Uni- 
versity of  Chicago  baseball  team. — Be-

LAKE    FOREST-ILLINOIS  DEBATE. 

(As  seen  by  our  Illinois  Correspondent.) 

The  third  time  was  again  the 
charm — for  Lake  Forest.  The  college 
team  on  March  27  emigrated  to  the 
land  of  the  "Foresters,"  where,  on 
March  28,  the  question,  "Resolved,  that 
laws  further  restricting  the  immigra- 
tion of  foreigners  into  the  U.  S.  are 
inexpedient,"  was  discussed.  The 
Foresters  won  unanimously.  The 
team  reports  the  fellows  at  Lake 
Forest  as  a  splendid  bunch.  A  feed 
and  smoker  in  the  club  rooms  was 
given  to  the  visiting  team.  The  argu- 
ment would  be  interesting  to  those 
familiar  with  the  question,  but  there 
would  be  the  inclination  to  win  the  de- 
bate in  print,  so  we  take  our  medicine 
gracefully  and  shall  work  for  a  win- 
ning team  next  year. — The  College

REV.  F.  E.  HIGGINS  TALKS  ON  "LUMBER- 
JACKS." 

At  Chapel  last  Thursday,  the  Rev. 
Mr.  Higgins,  a  "Sky-Pilot"  of  the  Wis- 
consin woods,  gave  a  very  interesting 
talk  on  the  life  and  work  of  the  lumber- 
jack. His  work  is  hard,  lasting  from 
before  daylight  till  late  at  night,  and 
requiring  constant  and  strenuous  ex- 
ertion; he  has  almost  none  of  the  com- 
forts and  conveniences  of  civilized 
folk,  his  associates  and  environment 
are  anything  but  elevating;  but  how- 
ever hardened  he  may  become  exter- 
nally, he  still  keeps  within  a  heart  big: 
with  kindness. 


THE  SAILOR'S  WIFE. 

(After   the  French) 
An  everwidening  stretch  of  sea  yawns  deep 
Between  the  silent  watcher  on  the  shore 
And  yonder  boat  so  soon  to  disappear, 
Lost  in  the  distant  haze.      What  fate  is  his? 
Oh  Sea!   thy  secret  yield!     Is  he  of  those 
Who    nevermore    shall    see  the  spray-dashed' 

wharf — 
Leaving  so  boldly  now  without  regret  ? 
The  wife    well    knows  t  he  dangers   which   he 

meets, 
The  chance  of  lonely  death  ;  with  anxious  gaze 
She  tries  to  solve  the  ocean's  mystery. 
But  all  in  vain — altho  the  deep  is  calm 
And  smiling  in  the  rosy  light  of  dawn. 
What  hope  is  hers  ?     What,  but  uncertainty? 
Her  child,  a  sailor's  boy,  already  feels 
A  fatal  longing  for  the  nau-s  which  lap 
About  his  feet  and  tos^  his  tinv  ships. 
Alas!      The  hungry  sen  demands  them  all— 
The  fathers  ne'er  returned,  it  takes  the  sons!-

The     Home      Concert. 


The     Glee    Club 


Scores     Greatest    Triumph    of 
Three  Years. 


The  Home  Concert  of  the  Glee  Club 
last  Saturday  night,  was  the  greatest 
triumph  of  three  years  for  the  College 
Glee  Club.  Within  those  three  years 
the  Club  has  given  many  an  excellent 
concert;  but  none  have  qnite  equaled 
the  Home  Concert  of  the  season  of 
1907.  One  of  the  largest  audiences 
that  has  ever  gathered  in  the  Art  In- 
stitute, and  the  most  enthusiastic  one 
that  ever  greeted  the  Club  was  in  at- 
tendance, and  the  sympathetic  interest 
which  it  evinced  all  through  the  pro- 
gram stimulated  the  men  to  their  best 
efforts. 

The  program  rendered  was  the 
one  used  on  the  spring  trip,  with  but 
a  few  minor  changes  and  additions; 
and  although  it  had  been  heard  by 
most  of  the  College  students,  it  was 
none  the  less  enthusiastically  received. 

The  raising  of  the  curtain  for  the 
third  number  disclosed  a  novel  scene: 
Seated  in  a  room  decorated  with  pen- 
nants and  steins  and  made  comfortable, 
or  standing  carelessly  about  a  fire- pi  ace, 
with  only  the  firelight  to  lighten  the 
dark  of  evening,  were  a  group  of  Col- 
lege boys,  singing  their  favorite  songs. 
In  this  manner  were  sung  "Guests  of 
the  Heart,"  "Bring  the  Wagon  Home, 
John,"  and  "A  Song  for  Old  Lake 
Forest." 


Mr.  Headley.the  diminutive  violin- 
ist, unfortunately  took  suddenly  ill 
shortly  before  the  concert,  and  so 
could  not  appear;  but,  fortunately,  Mr 
Stevens,  who  had  been  the  leader  and 
violinist  of  the  Glee  Club  for  the  two 
preceeding  years,  being  in  town,  con- 
sented to  play  in  his  stead.  It  seemed 
very  good  both  to  the  audience  and 
the  Glee  Club  men,  to  hear  Mr.  Stevens 
play  again  the  Godard  "Lullaby,"  and 
respond  to  encores  with  Pierne's  "Sere- 
nade," and  "The  Last  Rose  of  Sum- 
mer." Every  time  we  hear  Mr.  Stevens 
play  we  regret  that  he  has  not  seen  fit 
to  keep  up  his  studies  on  the  violin. 

The  Campus  Medley,  arranged  by 
the  leader  R.  G-  Talcott,  made  a  great 
hit.  Its  sudden  and  absurd  changes 
from  one  to  another  song  created  con- 
siderable merriment  among  the  audi- 
ence. 

Mr.  Brewster's  voice  was  at  its 
best  and  his  selections  were  listened  to 
with  intense  interest.  His  piano  solos 
received  scarcely  less  approval. 

By  request  the  "Child  Elocution- 
ist" stunt  was  left  over  till  the  vaude- 
ville, and  in  its  place  Mr.  Brewster 
sang  "Oh,  Dry  Those  Tears!"  respond- 
ing to  an  encore  with  "My  Rosary." 

The  work  of  both  the  readers  was 
excellent.     So  much  of  Mr.  Schwartz's 


THE  STENTOR

'German  dialect  reading  has  found  its 
way  into  the  everyday  vernacular  of 
the  students  that  his  appearance  was 
awaited  with  great  interest.  Mr.  Mun- 
^er  showed  his  exceptional  ability  and 
his  versatility  as  a  reader  by  present- 
ing two  new  readings,  the  one  humor- 
ous, and  the  other  very  serious.  As 
he  had  wished  he  closed  his  career  for 
the  Lake  Forest  College  Glee  Club 
with  a  serious  reading. 

With  kindly  regard  for  a  bit  of 
sentiment  Mr.  Talcott  placed  the  Sen- 
ior members  of  the  Club  in  front  while 
they  sang,  perhaps  for  the  last  time 
with  the  Club,  the  Alma  Mater  Song. 
And  then  with  a  rousing  cheer  the 
concert  was  at  an  end. 


WILLIAM  T.  STEAD  ADDRESSES  STUDENTS. 

Mr.  William  T.  Stead,  Editor  of 
the  EnglishjReview  of  Reviews,  a  man 
well  known  in  two  continents  as  a 
journalist  and  as  a  promoter  of  inter- 
national peace,  addressed  an  audience 
consisting  of  the  students  and  faculties 
of  the  three  departments  of  the 
University  and  a  number  of  towns- 
people, at  chapel  last  Monday  noon. 
After  his  introduction  by  Dr.  Barnes, 
who  had  met  him  frequently  in  educa- 
tional work,  he  talked  on  the  subject 
nearest  his  heart,  namely  "International 
Peace." 

"My  message  to  you  young  peo- 
ple," he  said,  "is  to  ask  you  to  have 
more  faith  in  your  country  and  in  her 
-destiny.  The  old  men  are  prone  to 
Jose  faith,  but  hope  lives  in  the  young. 

*  *  *  I  believe  that  I  have  greater 
faith  in  America  and  in  American 
ideals,   than     the  average    American. 

*  *     *     In  days  of  despair   and   dis- 
couragement in  my  work,  I  have  found 
the  poems  of  Lowell"  a  cloud  by   day 
and  a   pillar  Jof  fire  by  night.'     *     * 
Lowell    is     the    prophet    of    modern 


times.  Young  people  take  him  to 
your  heart  first.  He  has  said  'God 
wills,  man  hopes.'  *  *  *  Ameri- 
cans have  a  special  work — the  Ameri- 
canization of  the  World,  or  in  other 
words  the  bringing  about  the  triumph 
of  federation,  of  peace  over  war,  and 
of  the  judge  over  the  soldier,  And  it 
is  my  endeavor  to  arouse  the  Ameri- 
can people  to  this  duty.       *     *     * 

Mr.  Stead  then  gave  the  program 
which  he  believes  can,  and  hopes  may, 
be  adopted  at  the  coming  Hague  Con-

Knox  Wins  Close  Game. 

With  the  number  of  hits  and  errors 
both  in  favor  of  Lake  Forest,  the  game 
last  Friday  was  lost  to  the  Knox  Col- 
lege team  by  the  score  of  eight  to 
seven.  The  game  was  close  and  inter- 
esting throughout,  though  at  times 
both  teams  made  costly  errors.  Up  to 
the  seventh  inning  the  score  was  a  tie, 
each  side  having  two  runs,  but  in  this 
inning  by  two  bases  on  balls  and  a  hit 
Knox  broke  the  tie  by  bringing  in 
three  men.  Lake  Forest's  luck  came 
in  the  eighth.  Bases  on  balls,  errors 
and  a  timely  hit  by  Scott  brought  five 
men  over  the  plate,  and  it  looked  as 
though  the  game  was  ours.  Knox, 
however,  took  the  lead  in  the  ninth, 
and  in  the  last  of  this  inning  our  re- 
maining hopes  were  shattered  when, 
with  two  men  on  bases,  Wilson's  fly  to 
right  field  ended  the  game.

TracH  Season  Opens  Saturday. 

Saturday  afternoon  we  meet  Ar- 
mour Institute  on  Farwell  Field  in  the 
first  track  meet  of  the  season.  Our 
track  team  is  for  the  greater  part  com- 
posed of  new  men,  and,  owing  to  the 
adverse  weather  conditions,  they  have 
had  little  chance  to  show  as  yet  what 
they  can  do.  In  what  little  outdoor 
practice  that  has  been  possible,  how- 
ever, the  candidates  have  shown  good 
form,  and  it  is  expected  that  we  will 
be  able  to  open  the  season  with  a  vic- 
tory. 

The  track  schedule  as  completed  is; 
May     4.     Armour  Institute  on  Farwell   Field. 
May  11.     Elmhurst  College  on  Farwell  Field, 
May  18.     Beloit  College  at  Beloit. 
May  25.      Interscholastic  on  Farwell  Field, 

Deerfield  Easy  for  Freshmen. 

The  Freshman  track  team  had  its. 
first  meet  last  week  with  Deerfield 
Township  High  School  and  was  vic- 
torious by  the  score  of  sixty  to  twenty. 
Out  of  the  nine  events  the  first  year 
men  took  eight  firsts  and  -in  four  of 
them  took  both  places  leaving  but  one 
first  and   four   second    places   for    the

prep  school  athletes.  In  the  hammer 
throw  both  places  were  ceeded  to 
Lake  Forest. 

King  and  Fitt  did  good 
work  for  Deerfield  the  former 
taking  second  places  and  the  latter 
winning  the  mile  run  after  a  pretty 
race. 

Points  foi  the  Freshmen  were  won 
as  follows:  Ralston,  15;  Westervelt, 
13,  Lloyd  Jones,  8;  Keith  Jones,  8; 
Igou,  8. 


ORATORICAL  CONTEST. 

The  fifth  annual  Oratorical  Contest 
of  the  Northern  Illinois  Intercollegiate 
League  was  held  last  Friday  at  Naper- 
ville  in  the  chapel  of  Northwestern 
College. 

Mr.  Lloyd  Allan  Munger  repre- 
sented Lake  Forest,  and  tied  two  other 
competitors  for  first  honors  in  delivery. 
Mr.  Munger's  oration  was  on  "The 
Duty  of  Our  Leisure  Class,"  and  it 
won  third  place  for  thought  and  com- 
position. 

Mr.  Paul  S.  Mayer,  Northwestern 
•College,  won  the  first  prize  for  general 
-excellence.  Mr.  A.  W.  Olmstedt,  of 
Wheaton,  got  second. 

Mr.  H.  R.  Shroyer  was  President 
of  the  League  and  delivered  the  open- 
ing address  of  the  meeting. 

Mr.  Floyd  Berkheiser  has  been 
elected  Treasurer  of  the  League  for 
the  coming  year. 


THE  OMEGA  PSI    DANCE. 

The  Omega  Psi  Fraternity  gave 
its  annual  Promenade  at  the  Winter 
Club  last  Friday  evening.  About 
fifty  couples  returned  the  verdict  of 
"a  bully  fine  time." 

The  decorations  were  of  gold, 
green  and  black.  Streamers  of  these 
colors  canopied  the  overheadspace 
from    rafter  'to   rafter,    and   the    walls 


were  draped  with  bunting  of  the  same 
colors. 

During  the  Omega  Psi  Extra  the 
favors  were  given  out.  They  were 
collapsible  lanterns  of  many  colored 
panes.  All  the  lights  were  put  out 
and  the  lanterns  Uighted.  Then  the 
Promenade  was  held,  illuminated  by 
the  .variegated  fiickerings  from  the 
lanterns.  It  produced  quite  a  pretty 
effect.  The  Promenade  was  led  by 
Mr.  George  E.  Michael  and  Miss  Mar- 
ion McCandless. 

Among  the  Omega  Psi  Alumni 
who  came  to  attend  the  dance  were 
Mr.  Warren  Henry  Ferguson  with  his 
wife  nee  Elizabeth  Daum,  P.  H. 
Stevens,  Kendall  Shankland  and  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Robert  Hood. 


Y.  M.  C.  A. 

The  meeting  of  last  Thursday 
evening  was  one  of  the  strongest  of 
the  year.  Palmer,  who  has  lately 
joined  the  Association,  told  of  the 
Association  and  its  work  as  seen  from 
the  outside.  One  of  the  chief  reasons 
for  any  lack  of  success  has  been  a 
lack  of  aggressiveness.  If  the  Y.  M. 
C.  A.  is  to  appeal  to  the  new  men  it 
must  number  among  its  workers  the 
men  who  are  foremost  in  the  various 
phases  of  student  life  and  enterprise. 
Although  a  criticism,  for  the  most  part, 
this  talk  was  both  helpful  and  sym- 
pathetic. 


Y.  W.  C.  A. 

An  interesting  meeting  with  the 
subject,  "Do  it  Well,"  was  led  by 
Beulah  Giffen,  Thursday  night.  Dr. 
Hanchette  spoke  of  the  value  of  form- 
ing the  habit  of  doing  things  well  from 
the  standpoint  of  psychology.

The  Visit  of 
Mr.  Stead. 

We  count  it  a  great  and  rare 
privilege  to  have  such  a  man  as  Mr. 
William  T.  Stead,  of  "Review  of 
Reviews"  fame,  visit  our  college  com- 
munity and  address  us  upon  a  subject 
in  which  he  is  a  world  authority.  It  is 
from  such  men  that  we  get  the  truest 
meaning  of  life. 

Mr.  Stead  is  particularly  welcome 
because  of  the  greatness  of  his  mission. 
He  has  come,  firm  in  his  faith  in 
the  ideals  and  destiny  of  America,  to 
arouse  her  people  and  particularly  her 


youth  to  activity  in  the    "war    against 
war." 

His  particular  field  just  now  is- 
among  the  youth  of  our  colleges  and 
universities.  He  believes  that  upon 
them  depends  not  only  the  future  of 
this  country,  but  the  realization  of  his- 
hope  for  world-peace,  and  world- 
federation.  And  we  are  very  proud 
that  to  Lake  Forest  College,  first  of 
all  among  western  colleges,  he  has  dis- 
closed his  great  hope  and  and  purpose. 
If  he  could,  in  person,  address  the  stu- 
dents of  the  chief  institutions  through- 
out, we  doubt  not  but  that  he  would 
wield  the  greatest  influence  of  any 
single  man,  in    the  crusade  for  peace. 


A  Protest! 

Had  a  stranger  attended  the  baltf 
game  last  Friday,  we  fear  that  from  the 
style  of  "rooting"  that  was  in  vogue,, 
he  would  have  supposed  that  he  was 
witnessing  a  high-school  game. 

We  regret  this  prep,  school  method 
of  rooting — getting  down  along  third 
base  line,  and  trying  to  rattle  the  op- 
posing pitcher  by  hooting  and  yelling 
at  him — the  more  because,  at  least  for 
the  past  three  years,  the  conduct  of 
Lake  Forest  supporters  has  been  far 
more  wholesome  and  sportsmanlike 
than  that  of  the  "rooters"  of  the  aver- 
age college.  It  has  been  the  distinc- 
tive mark  of  Lake  Forest  men  in  their 
athletic  relations,  that,  whether  win- 
ning or  losing,  they  have  treated  their 
opponents  with  absolute  fairness. 
Shall  we  lower  that  ideal! 


The  Harvard  authorities  have  given 
permission  for  inter-collegiate  football,, 
but  the  selection  of  a  comparatively 
inexperienced  coach  is  construed  by 
the  eastern  papers  to  be  a  subtle  blow 
at  its  life.

HORACE  ODE  9  BOOK  I. 

Sonacte's  peak,  pure  white  with  snow, 
Looks  down  on  frosty  fields  below, 
The  trees  their  weight  can  hardly  hold; 
The  sky  is  bitter  cold. 

Heap  high  the  fire!  Dissolve  the  cold! 
Bring  out  the  wine  that's  four  years  old. 
Yes,  Thaliarchus  from  the  cups 
The  very  dregs  we'll  sup! 

Leave  all  else  to  the  gods  in  heaven, 
By  whom  our  lives  and  joys  are  given, 
Who  rule  the  winds,  who  by  their  will 
Can  make  the  waves  be  still. 

Put  all  tomorrow's  cares  away! 
Enjoy  this  life.     Live  for  each  day! 
My  boy,  spurn  not    the    merry  dance 
And  love's  alluring  glance! 

While  you  are  strong  to  do  or  dare 
Untouched  by  age  and  wordly  care, 
Seek  youthful  love  at  evening's  gloom 
In  some  dim  court  or  room. 

Go,  find  your  lass  and  bring  her  here — 
In  play  she's  hiding  somewhere  near — 
Ha!  now  a  forfeit  she  must  pay;' 
Her  laugh  gives  her  away. 


VESPER   SERVICE. 

In  his  introductory  remarks  at  Ves- 
pers last  Sunday  Dr.  Halsey  expressed 
his  gratification  over  our  good  fortune 
in  having  with  us  two  of  the  patrons  of 
the  College,  who  have  had  interest 
enough  in  Lake  Forest  to  send  their 
sons  here — Dr.  Dickey,  who  offered 
the  invocation,  and  Dr.  Marquis,  who 
delivered  the  sermon.  Dr.  Marquis' 
remarks,  on  "A  Man's  Work  for  Man," 
were  directed  almost  entirely  to  the 
men — and  the  composition  of  his  audi- 
ence, by  the  way,  demonstrated    very 


clearly  his  contention  that  the  men  are 
filling  less  than  one-third  the  pews  of 
our  churches  today.  With  all  regard 
for  the  ability,  and  the  work  of  woman 
in  the  church,  he  said  in  substance, 
there  are  certain  things  that  men  alone 
can  do.  The  church  needs  the  vibrant 
tone  of  the  man's  voice  in  her  music, 
and  the  vibrant  tone  of  his  nature  in 
her  work.  She  needs  him  to  fill  her 
offices,  and  to  direct  her  business  af- 
fairs. And  most  she  needs  him  for  his 
own  sake — he  alone  can  give  his  own 
testimony  to  the  value  of  the  Christian 
Religion. 

Miss  Nesbit,  in  her  usual  excellent 
style,  sang  "My  Heavenly  Home." 


The  members  of  the  Lake  Forest 
College  Glee  Club  scored  a  distinct  hit 
in  Kenosha  Tuesday  night  when  they 
gave  their  concert  at  the  Rhode  opera 
house  and  while  the  crowd  was  not  all 
that  could  be  desired  the  program  ren- 
dered was  one  of  the  best  ever  offered 
by  an  organization  of  college  singers 
in  the  city.  The  glees  were  all  well 
given  and  the  solo  work  was  especial- 
ly pleasing.  The  ensemble  singing  by 
the  boys  was  equal  to  that  seen  in  the 
concetrs  given  by  the  larger  glee  clubs 
of  the  country. 

Kenosha  rarely  gets  an  opportuni- 
ty to  get  in  touch  with  the  music  of  the 
college  boys  and  girls  and  it  is  regret- 
ted that  a  larger  crowd  did  not  attend 
the  concert. — Kenosha  Evening  News. 


Dr.  W.  G.  Anderson,  director  of  the 
Yale  gymnasium,  has  published  statis- 
tics to  confirm  the  correctness  of  his 
theory  relating  to  the  longevity  of  the 
star  athletes.  According  to  his  figures, 
drawn  from  fifty  years  record  of  Yale 
athletes,  the  popular  idea  that  highly 
trained  athletes  have  a  tendency  to 
early  death  from  tuberculosis,  heart 
disease,  pneumonia  and  the  like,  is 
altogether  erroneous. — Ex.

A  SONG  ON  THE  MORNING  AFTER. 

Tune — Chorus  of  'I'm  so  Lonesome." 
I'm  so  sleepy,  oh,  so  sleepy, 

For  I  was  not  long  in  bed. 
I've  an  awful,  awful  headache 

And  my  eyes  are  just  like  lead. 
I  went  to  bed  quite  early, 

About  two  A.  M.  they  say —

SENIOR  CLASS  ENJOYS  HAY-RIDE. 

The  class  of  '07  of  the  College, 
laying  aside  the  proverbial  dignity  of 
a  Senior  Class,  enjoyed  a  good  old- 
fashioned  hay-ride  in  the  moonlight 
on  Tuesday  evening,  April  23,  in  which 
neither  the  jolt  nor  the  hay  were  lack- 
ing. After  riding  for  two  hours,  they 
alighted  at  the  home  of  Professor 
and  Mrs.  Bridgman,  where,  four  years 
ago  the  same  class  had  been  welcomed 
after  its  first  sleigh  side. 

Here  the  revelers  were  greeted 
also  by  Professor  Burnap;  and  they 
were  entertained  with  some  exellent 
interpretations  of  the  Canuck  dialect 
by  Miss  Sizet,  of  Ferry  Hall.  After 
partaking  of  a  welcome  refreshment 
they  departed,  a  happy  and  tired 
crowd. 


DIGAMMA  "OPEN  HOUSE." 

The  Digamma  Alpha  Upsilon  Fra- 
ternity held  "open  house"  at  their 
rooms  in  North  Hall,  Monday  evening. 
Nearly  all  men  of  the  College  were 
present.  Mr.  Crozier  gave  a  short  talk 
on  the  good  results  that  are  being  ob- 
tained from  this  method  of  getting  to- 
gether in  good  fellowship. 

Akira  Izumi,  our  Senior  from 
Japan,  gave  an  exhibition  of  Jiu-jitsu 
wrestling,  and  several  friendly  bouts 
with  the  boxing  gloves  were  held — 
during  one  of  which  Blossom  beat 
Bud's  block  off. 

These  Monday  night  open  houses 
are  getting  so  well  liked  that  the  men 
begin  tojook  forward  to  them.  During 
the  last  month  since  this  idea  has  been 
started,  there  has  come  to  be  a  great 
increase  in  the  general  feeling  of  good- 
fellowship.     More  power  to  them! 


LITERARY    SOCIETIES 

Zeta  Epsilon. 

The  regular  meeting  was  held  on 
Monday  evening.  Mr.  Craig  led  in

was  impromptu.  Mr.  Caswell  gave  3- 
short  talk  on  the  subject  "May  Day." 
Loeb  told  of  the  prospects  of  the  191O' 
baseball  team,  and  was  answered  for 
the  Sophomores  by  E.  Berkheiser  and 
the  Juniors  by  Dawson. 
Aletheian. 

On  Tuesday  evening  Mrs.  Clapp- 
gave  a  lecture  recital  before  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Aletheian  Literary  Society 
at  Lois  Hall.  Her  subject  was  "Folk 
Songs."  She  showed  how  each  coun- 
try has  different  styles  of  folk  songs 
which  reflect  the  character  of  that 
people.  She  illustrated  the  lecture  by" 
singing  some  of  the  folk  songs  of  the 
different  countries.  The  songs  chosen 
ranged  from  the  plaintive  minors  of 
Norway  to  the  lighter  and  artificial 
ones  of  France. 


"I'm  afraid  you  only  skimmed  over

THE  COLLEGE  WORLD. 

The  University  of  Wisconsin  and 
Leland  Stanford  have  both  adopted 
the  student  council  method  of  controll- 
ing student  affairs — Ex. 

A  new  textbook  will  be  presented 
to  Ohio  State  students  at  the  beginning 
of  next  term.  This  book  contains  all 
faculty  and  conference  rules  having  to 
do  with  athletics. 

The  success  of  the  honor  system 
among  the  Yale  Seniors,  which  was  in- 
stalled last  quarter,  has  led  the  student 
committee  to  recommend  its  exten- 
sion to  the  lower  classes. — Ex. 

The  American  International  Col- 
lege at  Springfield,  Mass.,  is  the  only 
one  in  the  United  States  expressly 
established  and  conducted  to  meet  the 
peculiar  needs  as  to  higher  Christian 
education  presented  by  our  multitudi- 
nous immigrant  population.  That  this 
population  needs  unique  treatment 
and  special  adaptions  in  order  that 
they  may  be  adequately  educated  for 
leadership  in  American  life  is  clear. 
Ordinary  colleges,  however  excellent, 
are  adjusted   to    the    American    mind. 

—Ex. 

The  new  athletic  field  at  Syracuse 
University  is  nearing  completion. 
The  length  of  the  stadium,  from  the 
entrance  on  Irving  avenue  to  the  outer 
row  of  seats  on  the  east  side,  is  670 
feet,  and  the  width  is  470  feet.  It 
will  enclose  a  quarter-mile  track.  The 
seating  capacity  of  the  stadium  will 
be  20,000;  besides  this,  a  promenade 
twenty  feet  wide  will  extend  around 
the  outer  row  of  seats,  and  will  con- 
tain standing  room  for  about  as  many 
more.  On  the  east  side  of  the  stad- 
ium a  tunnel  leads  to  the  gymnasium.

IRONICAL. 

A  leading  American  politician  re- 
cently took  his  little  son  to  Washington 
where  they  paid  a  visit  to  the  senate 
gallery. 

Dr.  Edward  Everett  Hale  specially 
interested  the  boy,  and  his  father  ex- 
plained that  Dr.  Hale  was  the  chaplain 
of  the  senate. 

"Oh,  he  prays  for  the  senate,  does 
he?"  asked  the  lad. 

"No,"  said  the  politician,  "he  gets 
up,  looks  at  the  senate,  and  then  prays 
for  the  country." — Ex. 


EXCHANGES. 

Mary  had  a  little  lamb, 

She  took  it  everywhere, 
But  now  it's  laid  upon  the  shelf,

In  the  world's  broad  field  of  battle, 

In  the  bivouac  of  life, 
Be    not   like  dumb-driven  cattle, 

Be  a  hero — take  a  wife. — Ex. 

If  you  should  look  the  matter  up 

You'll  find  that  it  is  so; 
The  social  scale,  like  music,  too, 

Begins  and  ends  with  "dough."

MEN  HOLD  MASS  MEETING. 

At  a  mass  meeting  of  the  men  of 
the  College  in  the  Chemistry  Lecture- 
room,  last  Monday  noon,  the  follow- 
ing resolutions  addressed  to  the  Faculty 
were  presented  and  unanimously 
adopted: 

To  the  Faculty  of  Lake  Forest  College: 

We,  the  men  of  Lake  Forest  Col- 
lege, in  view  of  the  unnecessary  de- 
struction of  property,  which  took  place 
on  the  night  of  April  thirtieth,  do 
hereby  express  our  deep  regret  for, 
and  hearty  disapproval  and  condemna- 
tion of  the  actions  of  those  who  par- 
ticipated in  the  same,  and  our  hope 
and  belief  that  a  sentiment  has  devel- 
oped that  will  make  a  repetition  of  such 
conduct  impossible. 


Inasmuch  as  it  seems  that  the 
women  of  Lois  Hall  have  undeservedly 
been  bearing  the  burden  of  blame  for 


the  actions  of  the  student  body  on  the 
morning  of  May  first,  we,  the  men  of 
Lake  Forest  College,  do  hereby  affirm 
our  responsibility  for  the  initiation  and 
carrying  out  of  the  whole  affair.  We 
further  declare  that  the  women  of  the 
College  took  no  part  whatever  in  that 
which  occurred  on  what  is  known  as 
the  men's  campus. 

Besides  the  above  resolutions,  the 
following  resolution  was  framed  and 
adopted  condemning  the  action  of 
student  reporters,  which  results  ire 
undesirable  newspaper  notoriety  for 
the  college: 

Whereas,  from  tiaie  to  time,  the 
student  body  of  Lake  Forest  College 
has  received  undesirable  notoriety  in 
the  newspapers  through  the  ill-advised 
activity   of  student   reporters.     Be   it 

Resolved,  by  the  men  of  the  college 
in  mass  meeting  assembled  on  this 
the  sixth  day  of  May,  that  such  action 


295 


THE  STENTOR 


on  the  part  of  said  reporters  is  inex- 
cusable; and  that  those  guilty  of  any- 
such  action  in  the  future  shall  be 
summarily  dealt  with. 


FRESHMAN  DEBATE! 


LaKe  Forest  Vs.  Beloit. 

The  annual  Freshman  Debating 
Contest  between  Lake  Forest  College 
and  Beloit  College  takes  place  at  Beloit 
tomorrow. 

This  the  second  time  that  the  two 
colleges  have  met  in  Freshman  Debate. 
Last  year,  with  a  team  composed 
of  Schwartz,  Brand,  and  H.  T.  Kess- 
ler,  Lake  Forest  defeated  Beloit 
by  a  unanimous  decision  of  the 
judges.  This  defeat  aroused  consider- 
able regret  in  Beloit,  where  the  stu- 
dents determined  to  blot  out  the 
humiliation  by  inflicting  a  similar  de- 
feat upon  us  this  year.  With  that  end 
in  view  they  have  had  their  Freshmen 
team  training  assiduously  for  the  last 
four  months,  and  feel  confident  that 
they  will  turn  the  trick. 

Lake  Forest  is  represented  by  an 
exceptionally  strong  Freshman  team 
this  year,  and  it  also  has  been  in  prepa- 
ration under  the  guidance  of  Mr.  Bur- 
rill  for  the  last  two  months.  The  team 
is  composed  of  Harleigh  Hartmann, 
Abraham  Hennings,  and  Bruer,  all  of 
whom  have  had  more  or  less  prepara- 
tory school  and  literary  society  expe- 
rience, and  are  well  equipped  with 
ability  in  the  forensic  and  a  thorough 
grasp  of  the  subject,  which  is  to  be: 
"Resolved,  That,  conceding  the  consti- 
tutionality, all  corporations  engaged  in 
interstate  commerce  should  operate 
under  federal  license." 


AN    ACADEMY    CUPID. 

The  Dramatic  Club  of  the  Acad- 
emy gave  its  annual  play  at  the  'Cad 
Gym.  last  Saturday  night.  It  pre- 
sented a  localization  of  the  famous 
farce  "Charley's  Aunt"  with  great  suc- 
cess, to  a  large  and  well  pleased  audi- 
ence.

The  farce  was  in  three  acts  and 
was  full  of  excruciatingly  ludicrous 
situations  which  kept  the  audience 
laughing  all  the  time. 

Messrs.  Simons,  Oswald  and 
Peters,  gave  excellent  portrayals  of 
their  characters  and  Messrs.  Peterson, 
Symonds,  Haven  and  Bradstreet  made 
very  plump  and  pleasing  femininities. 
All  in  all  it  was  a  good  show.

SENIOR  CLASS  SELECTS  PLAY. 

At  last,  after  a  long  search,  the 
Senior  Class  has  found  a  play  worthy 
the  talent  it  possesses.  It  is  to  be  a 
radical  departure  from  the  Senior  pro- 
ductions of  the  past  few  years,  in  that 
it  is  not  a  burlesque,  but  a  legitimate 
drama.  The  play  chosen  is  Henry  V. 
Esmond's  "One  Summer's  Day,"  a 
sprightly  comedy,  with  just  enough 
of  pathos.  It  has  an  outdoor  setting, 
which  should  make  a  very  effective 
and  beautiful  play.

PHI  PI  EPSILON   OPEN  HOUSE. 

The  Phi  Pi  Epsilon  Fraternity  had 
its  turn  at  holding  Open  House  in  its 
rooms  last  Monday  night.  Nearly  all 
the  men  in  the  College  were  there  and 
enjoyed  the  good  cigars  and  "eats," 
and  the  singing  of  the  Glee  Club. 
Next  week  the  Open  House  will  be 
held  at  the  Omeea  Psi  House. 


The  trustees  of  Lake  Forest  Col- 
lege have  been  peculiarly  painstaking 
in  their  investigations  of  possibilities 
for  the  vacant  presidency  of  the  school, 
and  the  election  of  Dr.  John  Scholte 
Nollen  is  the  outcome  of  a  very  care- 
ful process  of  sifting  and  selection. 
The  board  early  determined  to  place 
over  the  college  an  experienced  educa- 
tor,— a  teacher  by  profession,  who  had 
already  proved  his  gifts  for  inspiring 
•college  young  people  with  high  ideals. 
JDr.  Nollen  they  found  at  Bloomington, 
Ind.,  a  member  of  the  Presbyterian 
church  there,  and  head  of  the  depart- 
ment of  the  German  language  in  the 
University  of  Indiana.  He  had  been 
•commended  to  their  attention  by 
prominent  educators  who  knew  him 
and  esteemed  both  his  scholarship  and 
his  personality.  Acquaintance  with 
the  man  himself  soon  confirmed  these 
favorable  reports  and  his  unanimous 
•election  followed.  The  new  president 
is  a  native  of  Pella,  Iowa,  and  a 
graduate  of  the  state  university  at 
Iowa  City.  After  spending  five  years 
in  post-graduate  studies  in  German 
universities,  he  returned  to  become  a 
teacher  of  German  at  his  alma  mater. 
Ten  years  of  earnest  work  there  were 
followed  by  the  call  to  Indiana,  where 
lie  has  been  teaching  for  four  years 
past.  Dr.  Nollen  is  still  under  forty, 
and  stands  now  at  the  threshold  of 
what   his  personal    friends     and     the 


friends  of  Lake  Forest  join  in  hoping 
is  to  be  a  most  distinguished  career  in 
educational  administration. —  Interior,

VESPER   SERVICE. 


The  Rev.  Mr.  Pease  of  Connecti- 
cut, a  friend  and  relative  of  Professor 
Thomas,  addressed  a  small  audience  of 
students  at  Sunday's  Vesper  Service. 
His  theme  centered  in  Christ's  words, 
"Follow  me  and  I  will  make  you  fish- 
ers of  men."  Everyone  naturally 
loves  to  fish — but  how  much  higher 
and  better  to  fish  for  men!  Christ  and 
His  Church  need  today  active  workers. 
It  was  said  of  them  to  whom  He  talked 
of  old  "Follow  me"  and  they  obeyed. 
What  will  you  do? 

The  simplicity  and  the  earnestness 
of  the  sermon  were  impressive. 


Fire      at     Academy! 

The  Durand  House  at  the  Acad- 
emy burned  early  Tuesday  afternoon. 
Cause  unknown.  Most  of  the  fur- 
nishings saved.  Will  have  to  be  re-

For  John  will  be  tired  mama, 

And  his  tissues  will  decompose  ;

To  shorten  the  thermic  fat.

Just  turn  it  on  half  an  ohm, 
For  I  want  to  have  supper  ready 

As  soon  as  John  comes  homes."

Armour  Vs.  LaKe  Forest. 

With  the  temperature  at  about 
forty,  a  cold  wind  blowing  from  the 
lake  and  the  field  wet  from  Friday's 
snow,  Lake  Forest  met  Armour  Insti- 
tute last  Saturday  in  the  first  track 
meet  of  the  season.  The  poor  condi- 
tions under  which  the  meet  was  held 
made  the  time  or  distance  for  every 
event  wretchedly  poor,  but  plenty  of 
excitement  was  furnished  by  the  close- 
ness of  the  score.  Neither  team  was 
able  to  get  a  large  lead  at  any  time  and 
the  result  was  in  doubt  until  the  finish 
of  the  last  event,  the  hammer  throw, 
in  which  Igou  and  Benson  were  fight- 
ing for  second  place.  Benson  won  and 
the  three  points  went  to  Armour, 
making  the  final  score  fifty-four  to 
fifty  in  her  favor. 

If  the  blame  for  the  loss  of  the 
meet  can  be  placed  in  any  one  event  it 
is,  without  doubt,  the  quarter-mile  dash. 
But  one  man  from  each  team  was  en- 
entered,  and  the  race  proved  so  easy 
for  VVestervelt  that  Lake  Forest  could 
have  placed  several  men  between  him 
and  the  Armour  runner. 

Three  monograms  were  won,  Scott

Ball  Team  on  Trip. 

The  baseball  team  plays  three 
games  this  week.  Thursday  it  meets- 
Monmouth  College  at  Monmouth;  Fri- 
day, Knox  College  at  Galesburg,  and 
then  returns  to  play  Indiana  University

on  Farwell  Field,  Saturday.  The  team 
as  a  whole  has  been  constantly  improv- 
ing, and  a  much  better  showing  is  ex- 
pected than  has  been  made  so  far. 

TracK  Notes. 

Saturday  afternoon,  after  the  base- 
ball game,  the  track  team  will  meet  the 
Elmhurst  College  team  in  a  dual  meet. 
The  team  went  into  the  Armour  meet 
without  having  had  a  try  out.  With 
the  knowledge  gained  in  that  meet  as 
to  the  ability  of  the  men  on  the  squad, 
a  much  better  balanced  team  will  be  in 
the  field  Saturday,  and  it  is  thought 
that  the  men  will  redeem  themselves 
for  last  week's  defeat. 

Inter-Fraternity  Games  Begin. 

The  first  of  the  inter-fraternity 
baseball  games  was  played  last  Thurs- 
day between  Digamma  Alpha  Upsilon 
and  Omega  Psi.  The  playing  was  such 
as  is  rarely  seen  on  Farwell  Eleld,  and, 
after  six  innings  of  snappy  ball  play- 
ing, Omega  Psi  was  returned  the  vic- 
tor. 

The  batteries  were: 

For  Omega  Psi — Harris  and  Keith- 
ley;  for  Digamma — Wilson  and  Jones. 

The  score: 

Omega  Psi 2     0501     6 — 14 

Digajnma 3      1004     3 — 11 


Kappa  Sigma  Vs.  Phi  Pi  Epsilon. 

The  second  of  the  inter-fraternity 
games  was  played  last  Monday  and  re- 
sulted in  a  shut  out  with  Phi  Pi  Epsilon 
on  the  inside.  Kappa  Sigma  put  up  a 
good  game,  but  with  five  'varsity  play- 
ers on  the  opposing  team  the  odds 
were  too  great.  The  feature  of  the 
game  was  the  playing  of  Shroyer  be- 
hind the  bat  and  the  batting  of  Palmer. 
Both  players  received  loud  ovations 
from  the  bleachers.

Show  Your  Spirit. 

At  the  two  baseball  games  that 
have  been  played  here  and  at  the  track 
meet  held  last  Saturday,  one  thing  that 
was  greatly  in  evidence  was  the  lack 
of  enthusiasm  shown  on  the  part  of  the 
spectators  (they  can  scarcely  be  called 
"rooters").  The  weather  has  not  been 
good,  we  know,  and  we  lost  all  three 
of  these  events,  but  it  is  under  these 
conditions  that  the  real  rooter  comes 
out  and  roots  the  hardest.  It  is  then 
that  the  teams  need  the  rooting  the 
most.  To  judge  from  remarks  heard 
on  the  bleachers  and  on  the  campus 
there  seems  to  be  plenty  of  enthusi- 
asm and  every  one  seems  to  be  behind 
the  teams,  but  this  will  do  little  good 
unless  it  is  shown,  and  at  the  proper 
time. 

On  Saturday  next  we  meet  Indi- 
ana University  on  the  diamond  and 
Elmhurst  College  in  a  dual  meet  after 
the  ball  game.  To  win  both  of  these 
will  mean  a  great  deal  to  Lake  Forest, 
and  every  one  can  help  by  giving  his, 
or  her,  "moral  support." 

A  better  chance  will  not  be  found 
this  spring  to  get  together  and  prove 
that  the  genuine  old  Lake  Forest 
spirit  is  still  up  and  doing,  so  let's 
every  one  to  the  bleachers  and  get 
busy.

The  May-Day 
Incident. 

Among  the  comments  called  forth 
by  the  May-day  Revel  of  last  week, 
was  a  severe  arraignment,  by  a  mem- 
ber of  the  faculty,  of  college  spirit  and 
college  loyalty  among  Lake  Forest 
students.  They  are,  it  wai  said,  more 
demonstrative  and  less  sincere  in  their 
patriotism,  than  the  students  of  the 
average  college.  Their  protestations 
of  love  for  their  Alma  Mater  are  loud 
and  frequent,  but  they  possess  but  lit- 
tle meaning  so  long  as  the  destruction 
of  property  continues.     Unpleasant  as 


it  was,  we  fear  that  there  is  some  truth 
in  the  assertion. 

We  would  be  the  last  to  see  any 
great  harm  in  occasionally  decorating 
the  campus  with  choice  pieces  of  statu- 
ary, and  the  like,  or  even  elevating  a 
wagon  to  the  top  of  a  college  hall 
porch;  nor  would  we  be  hasty  in  ascrib- 
ing to  the  person  of  a  professor  & 
sacredness  that  would  render  him  in- 
violate against  the  occasional  pranks 
of  the  students.  But  we  do  heartily 
condemn  the  destruction  of  property;, 
and  we  do  believe  the  members  of  the 
faculty  worthy  the  respect  sufficient  to- 
insure  their  property  against  such 
treatment  as  it  received  at  the  hands 
of  a  few  last  week.  The  destruction  of 
college  property  is,  certainly,  a  queer 
way  to  make  good  our  professions  of 
loyalty. 

It  is,  however,  "an  ill  wind  that 
blows  no  one  good."  Tne  excesses  of 
the  last  night  of  April  are  to  be  depre- 
cated and  condemned;  but  those  very 
excesses  have  developed  among  the 
student-body  a  sentiment  against 
"rough  housing"  that  will  make  a  repe- 
tition of  such  vandalism  all  but  impos- 
sible. 


LAKE  FOREST  GLEE  CLUB   CLASSES 
WITH  YALE  CLUB. 

We  are  glad  to  publish  the  follow- 
ing communication  from  an  old  friend 
of  the  College: 

May  3,  1907. 
To  the  Editor  of  The  Stentor. 

Dear  Sir:  I  attended  your  con- 
cert on  the  invitation  of  Professor 
Halsey  and  found  many  of  my  family 
there.  On  Sunday  after  the  service 
at  church  they  called  at  the  house  and 
the  general  verdict  on  the  concert  was 
"grand",  "equal  to  Yale  Glee  Club"r 
which  I  could  endorse  as  I  had  heard 
them  myself. 

Yours  very  truly, 

J.  V.  Farwell.

THE  SMALL  COLLEGES. 

The  Madison  Journal,  published  at 
the  seat  of  the  University  of  Wiscon- 
sin, comments  as  follows  on  the  sub- 
ject of  small  colleges: 

"The  small  colleges  are  coming  in- 
to their  own,  so  fast,  indeed,  that 
presently  they  will  not  be  small  col- 
leges, and  those  who  believe  that  the 
small  institution  offers  greater  advan- 
tages than  the  large  one,  will  have  no- 
where to  turn.  Columbia  college  has 
but  ninety  freshmen  in  the  college  of 
arts  and  letters  this  year,  Harvard's 
freshmen,  which  in  1902  exceeded  700, 
are  barely  600  this  year,  while  Wil- 
liams college,  which  did  not  have  quite 
100  in  1902,  now  has  175  freshmen. 
Dartmouth  has  nearly  1000  students 
today,  where  it  had  600  six  years  ago. 
Here  in  Wisconsin,  for  two  years 
Beloit  college  has  enrolled  a  freshman 
class  of  over  125.  The  growth  of 
Lawrence  university  has  been  even 
faster  and  a  strong  institution  is 
developing  there  in  the  north  of  the 
state.  Ripon  is  growing  rapidly  after 
years  of  stand-still.  The  idea  that 
used  to  prevail  that  you  got  more 
instruction  in  a  big  college  than  at  a 
smaller  one,  is  about  as  sensible  as  a 
theory  that  you  could  eat  more  in  a 
large  dining  room  than  in  a  small  one. 
Human  capacity,  intellectually  and 
alimentrry,  is  a  constant  quantity.  The 
big  institution  in  general  does  not  give 
more  instruction  to  the  individual  but 
the  same  instruction  to  more 
individuals." 


Something  Nough. 
He  lived  on  the  edge  of  a  slough, 
And     whenever    he  felt  a  bit  blough, 
Both  he  and  his  daughter 
Would  sail    on    the  waughter 
And  shoot  at  the  ducks  as  they  flough. 
Adough!" — Exchange.

Miss  Phoebe  Gould,  who  recently 
met  with  a  serious  accident  to  her  eye, 
is  improving  slowly. 

Mrs.  Henry  Stuart  has  gone  to 
her  home  in  Wisconsin,  to  remain  un- 
til Commencement  time. 

Professor  and  Mrs.  Burnap  have

ROOSEVELT  MAXIMS. 

First,  fit  yourself  for  the  work 
God  has  for  you  to  do  in  this  world  and 
lose  no  time  about  it. 

Second,  have  all  the  fun  that  is 
coming  to  you. 

Third,  go  ahead,  do  something  and 
be  willing  to  take  the  responsibility. 

Fourth,  learn  by  your  mistakes.

CHANGES  OF   TIME. 

One  hundred  years  ago  today 

With  wilderness  here, 
With  powder  in  his  gun  the  man 

Went  out  and  got  the  deer. 
But  now  the  thing  is  somewhat  changed 

And  on  another  plan, 
With  powder  on  her  cheeks,  the  dear 

Goes  out  and  gets  the  man. — Ex. 


Whin  we  think  we're  makin'  a

As  a  result  of  Saturday  night's 
play  the  Athletic  Association  is  about 
$100  richer. 

Durand  Cottage  still  holds  the 
lead  in  the  house  league,  having  won 
three  games  and  lost  none. 

Mr.  Bast  has  constructed  a  set  of 
hurdles  for  the  track  team.  The  hur- 
dles are  built  on  original  lines  and  are 
a  great  success. 

The  Academy  hopes  to  take  a 
goodly  number  of  points  at  the  North- 
western University  Inter-scholastic 
meet  next  Saturday. 

In  a  game  of  ball  that  would  have 
been  a  disgrace  to  a  town  lot  team, 
Lake  Forest  was  beaten  by  Evanston 
Academy  Saturday  by  a  score  of  23  to 
3.  The  one  redeeming  feature  of  the 
farce  was  the  steady  pitching  of  Muntz, 
who,  without  any  semblance  of  support 
-or  encouragement,  played  his  game  to 
the  end.  It  is  hoped  that  the  Academy 
-can  present  better  sport  to  its  patrons 
in  the  future. 

The  production  of  "An  Academy 
Cupid"  by  the  Dramatic  Club  in  the 
Gymnasium  Saturday  night  was,  with- 
out doubt,  the  histrionic  success  of  the 
year.  The  large  audience  was  kept 
laughing  from  start  to  finish.  It  is 
useless  to  mention  individual  charac- 
ters as  every  one  starred.  The  Acad- 
emy orchestra  which  played  between 
acts  came  in  for  its  share  of  applause. 
The  stage  built  by  the  students,  was 
ample  and  attractive.  Much  credit  is 
due  the  club  as  well  as  Mr.  Crawford 
and  Mr.  Ferguson  for  working  out  such 
an  attractive  evening. 


Ward  Waters  won  third  place  in 
the  Western  Inter-Academic  Oratori- 
cal contest  at  Evanston  last  Friday 
evening.  He  took  first  place  in 
delivery  but  his  markings  on  thought 
and  composition  pulled  him  down. 
The  fact  that  he  beat  out  the  repre- 
sentatives from  Culver  and  Morgan 
Park  helps  some. 

The  Annual  House  Meet  held  on 
May  3rd  proved  a  most  enjoyable  holi- 
day. The  events  were  warmly  con- 
tested the  final  score  being  East  House, 
69;  Durand,  40;  Remsen,  12.  The 
individual  stars  were  Schnur,  25  points; 
Savage,  18;  Bedell,  17.  The  best 
records  were  shot  put  42,  2j4,  Ham- 
mer, 149.7;  broad  jump,  19.7.  In  the 
afternoon  the  Faculty  and  Seniors 
played  their  annual  ball  game  the 
profs,  winning  by  the  convincing  score 
of  20  to  19. 


The  Carnegie  Institute  at  Pitts-

Hall  Friday  evening  on  "The  Religious 
Element  in  Literature".  His  regrets 
at  taking  up  our  Friday  evening  were 
needless  as  we  felt  the  evening  had 
been  not  only  profitably  but  very 
pleasantly  spent.  We  welcomed  Dr. 
Butler  especially  remembering  his  in- 
teresting account  of  his  life  at  Ferry 
Hall  given  at  the  reunion  last  fall.

The  meeting  on  Monday  evening 
was  opened  by  devotional  exercises 
led  by  Mr.  Crouch.  Short  impromptu 
talks  were  then  made  by  nearly  all  the 
members  present.  May  Day,  '06  and 
'07,  were  interesting  subjects  discussed 
by  E.  Berkheiser,  Caswell,  C.  Whar- 
ton, Loeb,  and  Porter.  Craig  and 
Crouch  pictured  the  joys  of  collecting 
laundry  bills.  They  both  were  of  the 
opinion  that  it  was  "very  pleasant" 
work.  The  value  of  "Vigity"  and 
shredded  wheat  were  never  fully  ex- 
plained to  us  until  "Abe"  Hennings 
was  seen  and  heard.  As  he  say?,  "I

evening,  will  be  the  last  one  this  year. 
Officers  for  the  next  term  are  to  be

Following  Lew  Fields  at  the  Garrick  will 
come  beautiful  Mary  Mannering,  for  one 
week  only,  in  her  greatest  success,  "Glorious 
Betsy."  The  play  was  written  by  Rida  John- 
son, authoress  of  "'Brown  of  Harvard"  and 
other  successful  pieces.  The  story  of  "Glor- 
ious Betsy"  concerns  the  love  affairs  of  Eliza- 
beth Patterson,  that  dashing  Baltimore  belle 
whose  charm  and  beauty  won  the  heart  of 
Jerome  Bonaparte,  brother  of  the  Emperor  of 
France,  during  his  visit  to  America  in  1S03. 
This  play,  which  is  classed  as  a  romantic 
comedy,  is  thoroughly  American  in  both  its- 
atmosphere  and  treatment,  and  is  said  to  be  a 
most  striking  blending  of  love  and  sacrifice. 
Sam  S.  and  Lee  Shubert,  Inc.,  have  given  the 
new  play  a  very  magnificent  production  and 
have  surrounded  the  star  with  a  superior  com- 
pany. In  support  of  Miss  Mary  Mannering, 
are  Misses  Adora  Andrews,  Maud  Hosford,

The  winds  that  will  be  howling  at  all  hours, 

And  are  up-gather'd  now  like  sleeping  flowers; 
For  this,  for  everything,  we  are  out  of  tune; 
It  moves  us  not. ---Great  God!  I'd  rather  be

Have  sight  of  Proteus  rising  from  the  sea; 

Or  hear  old  Triton  blow  his  wreathed  horn.

iSemi-Centennial  to  be  Celebrated 


Celebration  of  Fiftieth  Anniversary  of  Granting 

of  University   Charter  to   Take  Place  During 

Commencement  Week.  Alumni  Interested. 


Plans  are  maturing  for  a  big  cele- 
bration of  the  fiftieth  anniversary  of 
the  granting  of  the  University  char- 
ter. It  has  been  under  consideration, 
but  a  definite  announcement  has  been 
delayed  until  very  recently  when  invi- 
tation announcements  were  sent  out  to 
the  Alumni. 

The  celebration  is  to  take  place 
on  Alumni  Day,  Tuesday,  June  18, 
under  the  auspices  of  the  Alumni,  and 
conducted  by  Acting  President  Hal- 
sey.  The  return  of  a  large  number  of 
old  students  is  expected.  The  follow-

The  following  personal    invitation 
from  Dr.  Halsey  is  being  sent  to  every 
old  student: — 
My  Dear  Friend: 

On  the  19th  of  June  1907,  we  will 
celebrate    the   jubilee    of  the    charter 


foundation  of  Lake  Forest  University, 
in  1857.  -A-s  we  look  forward  to  that 
Commencement  celebration  it  is  the 
desire  of  everyone  responsible  for  its 
success  to  make  that  occasion  specifi- 
cally an  alumni  day.  The  Rev.  Edgar 
P.Hill,  D.  D  ,  of  McCormick  Theologi- 
cal Seminary,  who  is  an  old  time  Lake 
Forest  man,  and  whose  fame  as  a  pub- 
lic speaker  is  in  all  the  churches,  will 
deliver  the  Commencemet  Address  on 
the  nineteenth  .  The  Alumni  Asso- 
tion  is  seeking  to  make  specially  at- 
tractive the  program  for  the  Alumni 
Dinner  on  the  evening  of  the  eigh- 
teenth. Dr.  John  S.  Nollen,  the  Presi- 
dent-elect of  the  University,  will  be 
the  guest  of  the  University  during  those 
closing  days,  and  will  bear  a  conspicu- 
ous part  in  the  celebration,  taking  up 
the  administration  immediately  after- 
ward. 

With  these  special  features  to  ren- 
der the  closing  days  of  1906-07  attrac- 
tive, we  feel  confident  that  the  alumni, 
so  far  as  possible,  will  make  a  special 
effort  to  come  to  us  on  the  eighteenth 
and  nineteenth  of  June,  and  to  help  to 
make  this  semi-centennial  occasion  a 
great  success,  as  well  as  a  harbinger 
for  the  future  that  we  are  hoping  to 
enter  upon  at  that  time. 

Fraternally  yours, 

John  J.  Halsey.

Baseball. 

The  baseball  team  played  three 
games  last  week,  Thursday  at  Mon- 
mouth, Friday  at  Galesburg  and  Satur- 
day at  home.  Lake  Forest  lost  the 
first  game  by  the  large  score  of  fifteen 
to  two.  Hits,  errors  and  a  grand  bal- 
loon ascension,  with  a  strange  field, 
good  crowd  of  "raggers"  and  hot 
weather  caused  a  very  listless  game. 
The  Monmouth  team  batted  hard  and 
their  hits  with  costly  errors  piled  up 
the  score.  Only  in  three  or  four  inn- 
ings did  Lake  Forest  get  down  to  busi- 
ness and  play  real  ball. 

The  score:

Friday's  game  with  Knox  College 
was  a  great  improvement  over  that  of 
the  previous  day  as  the  score  will 
testify.  In  a  way  the  game  was 
unique  as  the  score  was  the  same  as 
that  of  the  previous  game  with  them, 
and  in  that  Knox  won  both  in  the 
ninth  inning.  Callahan  pitched  and, 
considering  that  it  was  his  first  appear- 
ance as  a  college  twirler,  did  excep- 
tionally well,  letting  Knox  down  with 
but  six  hits  while  Bacon,  Knox's  star 
pitcher,  allowed  Lake  Forest  nine. 
Until  the  last  of  the  ninth  inning  Lake 
Forest  was  one  run  to  the  good,  but  a 
base  on  balls  to  Hilding,  and  a  two  base 
hit  by  Howell  put  men  on  second  and 
third  and  the  two  necessary  runs  were 
brought  in  on  long    flies,  winning   the 


game  for  Knox  after  Lake  Forest  had, 
it  seemed,  won  in  a  long  up-hill    fight.

Saturday  the  team  met  Indiana 
University  on  Farwell  Field.  The 
tale  is  best  told  by  the  error  column, 
Keithley  pitched  well,  allowing  but  one

while  Bossert,  of  Indiana,  passed  five 
men  and  struck  out  but  four.  The

Kappa  Sigma  defeated  Omega  Psi 
last  Monday  in  an  interesting  game  of

LaKe  Forest  73,  Elmhurst  College  15. 

While  the  ball  team  was  playing 
Indiana  on  Farwell  Field,  the  track 
team  met  Elmhurst  College  on  the 
Academy.  The  meet  turned  out  to  be 
a  "walk-away"  for  Lake  Forest,  the 
Elmhurst  athletes  not  being  able  to 
secure  a  single  first  and  but  five  second 
places.      Probably   the    prettiest    race 

was   the    mile    run    in  which ,  of 

Elmhurst,  rau  well  but  was  finally  dis- 
tanced by  Dawson.  A  cold  wind  made 
record  breaking  out  of  the  question, 
but,  considering  the  conditions,  the 
times  made  were  good.  The  final 
score  was  seventy-three  to  fifteen  in 
favor  of  Lake  Forest.

The  Forester. 

The  1908  Forester,  which  appeared 
just  as  we  were  going  to  press  last 
week,  has  by  this  time  been  so  thor- 
ouhgly  perused  by  our  readers  that  it 
has  already  become  an  old  story.  We 
cannot  pass  it  by,  however,  without 
some  mention  and  some  commendation 
of  the  hard  work  that  has  been  put  into 
it  by  the  Board  of  Editors. 

The  cover  of  the  book  has  evoked 
considerable  comment,  pro  and  con. 
We  like  it,  perhaps  more  particularly 
because  the  color  scheme  is  in  line 
with    the    College    colors.     As    to     its 


make-up,  the  book  has  never  been  sur- 
passed, and,  in  some  ways,  never 
equaled.  The  views  though  fewer  than 
last  year,  are  nevertheless  larger  and 
placed  to  better  advantage,  and  the 
reading  matter  is  very  well    arranged. 

No  annual  is  at  its  best  unless  it 
presents  an  excellent  appearance;  but 
ultimately  the  worth  of  any  book  de- 
pends upon  its  contents — and  herein 
this  year's  Forester  is  unusually  strong.. 
The  editors  have  introduced,  amongf 
others,  two  innovations  that  have  made 
this  year's  book  distinctive.  The  office 
of  statistician  has  been  created,  an  ex- 
pedient, which  has  greatly  lightened 
the  routine  work  of  the  editor-in-chief 
and  has  improved  the  book;  and  sil- 
houettes have  been  substituted  in  place 
of  photographs  of  the  Juniors. 

There  are  many  other  things  that 
might  be  mentioned  and  commended; 
but  suffice  it  to  say  that  the  Class  of 
1908  and  its  Board  of  Editors  are  to  be 
congratulated  upon  the  excellence  of 
Volume  XI.  of  the  Forester.  They 
have  upheld  well  the  high  standard  of 
Lake  Forest  College  Annuals. 

The  Baseball  Trip. 

Just  now,  after  a  series  of  almost 
unbroken  defeats  for  the  baseball 
team,  the  entire  student  body  and  the 
team  itself  are  on  the  verge  of  despair- 
Defeat  is  getting  bitter.  We  are  weary 
of  finding  excuses  for  defeat.  Perhaps 
the  very  bitterness  of  defeat  is  a  good 
omen.  May  its  sting  stimulate  us  to 
the  greater  efforts.  We  have  been 
called  "good  losers" — we  are  tired  of 
being  losers,  whether  good  or  bad. 

But,  even  with  such  a  prospect, 
there  is  a  bit  of  consolation.  A  Lake 
Forest  team  is  always  handicapped  by 
the  inclemency  of  the  weather;  and 
particularly  this  spring  has  that  been 
the  case.     Moreover  ours  is  an  amateur

team  pitted  against  teams  most  of 
whose  players  have  avowedly  played 
professional  baseball.  We  do  not 
offer  these  as  excuses  for  all  our  de- 
feats; but  that  they  may  save  us  from 
the  despair  that  gives  up. 


We  are  glad  to  publish*  from  time 
to  time  some  of  the  work  of  the 
English  classes.  The  following  comes 
from  one  of  the  students: 

"EL  DORADO" 

(Taken  from  Stevenson's  "El  Dorado") 

How  strange   a    picture    do    we   make 
Traveling  on  in  vain 
Toward  some  goal — we  know  not  what, 
We  never  can  attain. 

No  nearer  should  we  find  at  last 
That  place— o'er  lands  and  seas, 
Could  we  possess  the  powers  of  Gods 
And  live  for  centuries. 

O  feet  unwearied,  travelling  on, 

O  toiling  sons  of  men, 

Soon,  soon  it  seems  you  must  gain  the 

crest 
And  El  Dorado,  then! 

Your  blessedness  ye  never  know 
For  to  travel  with  hopefulness 
Is  a  better  thing  than  to  arrive, 
And  to  labor|is  true  success. 


A  popular  man  must  be  easy  and  affable 
And    never    do    anything   bookish    or 
laughable, 

Must  live  without  friction, 
Be  plain  in  his  diction 
And,  like  a  good    fellow,    pay    up   his 
subscript  ion. ---Ex. 


BRIEF  COLLEGE  ITEMS. 

At  Princeton  so  much  interest  has 
been  evinced  in  canoeing  that  a  canoe 
club  has  been  formed.

recently  suffered  defeat  at  the  hands 
of  the  Illinois  freshmen  at  Urbana. 

The  Illinois  legislature  appropriated

spoke  in  Chapel  this  noon. 

Mr.  Lewis  spoke  at  the  celebration 
of  the  50th  anniversary  of  the  founding 
of  Evanston  Academy  Wednesday. 

At  the  beginning  ot  this  week  the 
house  baseball  league  stood  as  fol- 
lows: Durand  won  4,  lost  0;  Remsen 
lost  3;  won  1;  East  lost  3,  won  1. 

Ward  Waters  won  second  place 
and  a  gold  medal  at  the  Northwestern 
University  Interscholastic  declamation 
contest  Friday  night.  There  were  ten 
schools  represented  in  the  contest. 

Last  Saturday  the  Academy  beat 
Armour  II  to  10  in  an  11  inning  game 
at  Armour  field.  The  Lake  Forest 
battery  was  Thomas  and  Taylor.  The 
League  standings  now  are  Morgan 
Park  1000,  Evanston  666,  Lake  Forest 
500,  Armour  OGO. 

The  Academy  won  11  points  at 
the  Northwestern  University  Inter- 
scholastic meet  last  Saturday.  Schnur 
won  first  in  the  high  hurdles  in  the 
record  time  of  16  1-5.  Bedell  won 
second  in  the  shot  put,  third  in  j^the 
hammer  and  fourth  in  the  discus.  On 
account  of  ^injuries  Schnur  could  not 
enter  any  other  events  beside  the 
hurdles.  Had  he  been]  in  condition 
Lake  Forest  would  probably  have 
captured  the  meet  as  17  points  took  it. 

A  great  many  people  are  asking 
the  question  "Is  Durand  Cottage  to 
be  re-built."  Well  rather. f|In  a  grow- 
ing school  buildings  out  of  commission 
are  not  at  a  premium,  so  this  one  will 
be  put  back  into  shape  with^the  great- 


est possible  dispatch.  "Keep  things 
moving"  is  the  present]  Academy  motto. 
There  was  no  confusion,  no  panic  the 
day  of  the  fire.  Recitations  went  on 
as  usual,  students  found  new  quarters 
quickly  and  by  night  no  one  would 
have  suspected  that  the  school  had 
been  through  a  great  disaster. 


HARLAN  WINS  BALL  GAME  AT  74. 

Justice  Harlan,  of  the  United 
States  Supreme  Court,  aged  74,  made 
a  home  run  and  won  the  game  in  a 
baseball  contest  at  the  annual  shad 
bake  given  by  the  Washington  Bar 
Association  at  Marshall  Hall,  Md., 
Saturday. 

When  Justice  Harlan  went  to  the 
bat  the  score  was  a  tie,  and  the  umpire 
had  called  two  strikes  and  three  balls. 
It  was  a  critical  and  exciting  moment. 
Justice  Harlan  smashed  the  sphere 
a  wicked  swat  to  deep  center.  He 
started  around  the  bases  and  his  leg 
work  was  really  marvelous.  His 
sprinting  qualities  surprised  and  de- 
lighted the  fans,  who  were  wild  with 
enthusiasm.  The  ball  went  over  the 
head  of  the  center  fielder  and  was  lost 
in  the  tall  grass.  Before  it  was  recov- 
ered Justice  Harlan  had  reached  the 
home  plate,  where  he  stood  sipping  a 
mint  julep  which  had  been  prepared 
hurriedly  for  the  agile  Kentuckian  as  a 
reward  for  lining  out  a  four-base  hit. 

"Home  Run"  Harlan  already  has 
received  offers  of  contracts  from  a  num- 
ber of  ball  teams  who  are  weak  at  the 
bat. — Record-Herald.

Henry  C.  King,  President  of  Ober-

among  the  men  of  the  institution  what 
is  called  a  "Student  Senate."  My  own 
feeling  has  been  that  our  wisdom  lay 
in  letting  that  body  feel  its  way  along 
to  its  most  successful  work,  rather  than 
in  trying  to  lay  out  everything  that  it 
was  to  do  beforehand.  At  present  I 
think  its  greatest  function  will  be  as  an 
intermediary  body  between  students 
and  faculty,  but  it  may  come  to  serve 
considerably  greater  functions  in  time.

Ball  Team  Fails  to  Win. 

In  the  three  games  played  last 
week  Lake  Forest's  hoodoo  remained 
unbroken  and  the  results  were  "as 
usual."  In  the  first  two  games  we 
out-batted  our  opponents  and  in  the 
last,  broke  even  with  seven  hits  apiece, 
but  in  two  of  these  games  we  also  "out- 
errored"  our  opponents  and  in  all 
three  we  "also  ran." 

To  explain  why  is  too  great  a  task 
for  the  writer  to  undertake.       Perhaps 
the  following  summaries  will  be  of  aid 
in  solving  the  problem.

The  Visit  of 
the  Laymen. 

The  coming  to  our  midst  last 
Saturday  of  the  laymen  of  the  Presby- 
terian churches  of  Chicago  marks  the 
beginning  of  a  new  movement  that 
should  prove  scarcely  less  fruitful  in 
good  results  for  us  than  is  the  "New 
Student  Movement"    already    proving. 

It  is  a  significant  fact  that  these 
men,  not  merely  the  representatives 
of  a  great  cnurch,  but  men  of  great 
influence  in  the  business  and  industrial 
circles   of     Chicago,    should    take    the 


time  and  be  so  interested  as  to  come 
and  visit  us. 

It  is  only  too  true  that  Lake  For- 
est College,  though  widely  known 
throughout  the  country,  is  scarcely 
known  in  the  great  city  at  our  very 
doors.  These  men  have  come  as  our 
guests;  have  seen;  and  were  conquered. 
Many  of  them  have  pledged  themselves 
to  do  what  they  can  for  Lake  Forest. 
If  they  live  up  to  their  words,  and  we 
believe  they  will,  a  power  and  an  in- 
fluence greater  than  we  realize  has 
been  enlisted  in  our  behalf!  Our 
Alma  Mater  has  taken  another  step 
toward  her  self-realization. 

Upon  inquiry  it  appears  that,  al- 
though the  visit  of  the  laymen  was  a 
spontaneous  one,  it  was  largely  brought 
about  through  the  efforts  of  Mr.  Cro- 
zier.  We  cannot  but  acknowledge  the 
service  he  has  done  the  institution  in 
initiating  a  movement  from  which  we 
have  such  large  hopes. 


May  20,  1907. 
My  Dear  Mr.   Wilson: 

I  find  in  the  Forester  recently 
published  some  errors  in  the  article 
concerning  the  Zeta  Epsilon  Society, 
which  should  be  corrected.  The  Ath- 
enaean  Society  was  organized  Novem- 
ber 24,  1876,  and  originally  included 
both  men  and  women.  The  Zeta  Ep- 
silon Society  originated  in  the  seces- 
sion of  a  portion  of  the  men  in  the 
Athenaean  in  January,  1880,  and  on 
the  23d  of  September,  1880,  the  women 
organized  the  Aletheian. 

As  to  the  Glee  Club:  In  1S87  a 
glee  club  was  organized  in  the  College 
and  was  announced  in  the  first  num- 
ber of  the  Stentor,  June,  1887,  as 
"now  prepared  to  sing  anything  from 
'A  Hole  in  the  Bottom  of  the  Sea'  to 
'The  Soldier's  Farewell.'  "  In  the  fol- 
lowing fall — that  is,  1887 — the    officers 


THE  STENTOR 


324 


elected  for  this  glee  club  were  E.  F. 
Dickinson,  President;  W.  W.  Johnson, 
Traasurer;  and  B.  M.  Linnell,  Secre- 
tary and  Manager.  Mr.  Dickinson  and 
Mr.  Johnson  were  Athenaeans,  and 
Mr.  Linnell  a  member  of  the  Zeta  Ep- 
silon,  which  would  seem  to  indicate 
that  the  first  glee  club  had  the  College 
rather  than  the  society  in  its  origin. 
In  1889  Mr.  William  Humiston,  of  the 
class  of  1891.  organized  the  Zeta  Epsi- 
lon  Glee  Club,  which  began  that  year 
to  go  out  of  town  and  give  concerts. 
This  club  was  reorganized  in  1894  as 
the  Lake  Forest  Glee  Club,  and  con- 
tinues to  the  present  day. 

The  writer  in  the  Forester  says 
that  same  year,  1891,  the  Zeta  Epsilon 
published  the  "Red  and  Black."  the 
parent  of  the  present  day  STENTOR. 
The  fact  is  that  the  first  STENTOR  was 
published  in  June,  1887,  and  the  paper 
has  come  out  through  the  college  year 
regularly  ever  since,  the  Red  and  Black 
having  been  started  by  the  Zetas  in 
1891  as  a  rival  to  the  STENTOR,  which 
had  come  under  the  control  of  Athe- 
naean  men.  That  year  in  which  the 
two  papers  existed  side  by  side  was 
productive  of  some  splendid  journalism 
in  Lake  Forest,  both  papers  being  con- 
ducted throughout  that  college  year  in 
a  most  attractive  and  successful  way. 
Very  sincerely  yours, 

John  J.  Halsey. 


To  the  Editor: 

There  seems  to  be  a  lot  of  un- 
necessary "knocking"  going  on  about 
the  campus  just  now  in  regard  to  the 
succession  of  reverses  that  the  base- 
ball team  has  suffered.  Now  knock- 
ing is  a  good  |thing — sometimes. 
Knocking  is  a  "raw  deal",  to  every- 
body at  all  times.  Never  more  so 
than  now.  The  only  reason  that  a 
College  man  ought  ever  have  to  knock 


the  baseball  team  that  is  representing 
his  College  on  the  diamond,  is  his 
devout  interest  in  his  Alma  Mater's 
welfare;  and  when  that  is  the  incentive 
the  "knocking"  is  somewhat  justifiable, 
provided  that  it  allays  a  curable  evil. 
But  is  there  a  curable  evil  in  the  base- 
ball situation?  Have  we  not  the  best 
team  that  we  can  get  up  out  of  the 
men  who  have  presented  themselves 
as  candidates.  Is  not  every  man  on 
the  team  playing  the  best  game  that 
he  can?  Have  we  not  the  best  sche- 
dule that  the  College  ever  had?  And 
is  it  not  getting  less  support  than  any 
College  team  in  the  country?  And 
are  there  not  several  men  that  ought 
to  be  out  trying  for  the  team  lying 
about  doing  nothing  except  telling 
how  the  team  ought  to  be  run  and  how 
they  would  play  the  game  if  they  wanted 
to.  Now  this  "rapping"  ought  to  quit. 
To  be  sure  we  have  been  defeated,  but 
dare  anyone  say  that  the  games  were 
thrown  away?  There  is  no  fault  to  be 
found  except  that  we  have  not  suffi- 
cient baseball  material  in  the  college 
to  compete  with  the  teams  of  other 
colleges — and  that  our  baseball  luck  is 
wonderful  in  its  absence. 

Rather  than  "knocking"  we  ought 
to  be  proud  of  our  team  because  of  the 
game  fight  they  have  been  putting  up 
in  spite  of  adverse  sentiment  at  home. 
It  were  far  better  for  the  "mugwumps" 
hereabouts  to  see  what  "boosting" 
might  do  in  this  uphill  fight  of  our 
baseball  team.  Let  us  give  the  Cap- 
tain, Manager  and  the  entire  team 
our  heartfelt  cooperation  vvhether  the)' 
win  or  lose  and  we  shall  find  much 
more  satisfaction  at  the  end  of  the  sea- 
son than  we  shall  if  we  continue  this 
prep,  school  attitude  of  finding  fault 
and  doing  nothing  to  right  it.

It  was  a  plea  for  the  fullest  realization 
of  the  possibilities  of  ones  nature. 
Cultivate  your  personality,  your  indi-

Mr.  Neil  McMillan,  a  graduate  of 
the  University  of  Illinois,  and  the 
chairman  of  the  State  Young  Men's 
Christian  Association  Bible  Study 
Committee,  visited  our  association  last 
Thursday  evening,  giving  an  earnest 
and  helpful  talk  on  Bible  study  in  the 
colleges  and  universities.  He  cited  as 
some  of  the  reasons  that  so  many  col- 
lege men  are  studying  the  Bible,  that 
in  the  face  of  the  numberless  Biblical 
allusions  in  literature,  a  knowledge  of 
the  Bible  is  necessary  to  an  apprecia- 
tion of  that  literature;  that  it  is  the 
-great  aid  for  him  who  is  fighting  temp- 
tation— it  shows  him  how  to  fight;  that 
therein  is  found  the  way  of  life;  and 
that  there,  and  there  only,  they  may 
learn  of  the  man  Christ. 

At  the  close  of  Mr.  McMillan's 
talk  the  Rev.  Mr.  Wright  added  a  few 
words  of  emphasis. 


Next  Saturday  morning  the  Acad-

banner  to  the  winning  team. 

In  a  well  played  game  last  Satur- 
day the  Academy  was  defeated  by 
Evanston  Academy,  6  to  2.  Our  team 
showed  the  best  form  it  has  so  far 
reached  and  will  still  be  heard  from  in 
the  league  race. 


ANNUAL  DANCE 

The  annual  dance  of  the  Delta 
Phi  Delta  Society  was  given  Friday 
evening,  May  seventeenth,  in  George 
Smith  Hall. 

The  decorations  and  favors  were 
of  Japanese  design  and  the  general 
effect  was  red  and  white  carrying  out 
the  colors  of  the  society.  Cherry 
Blossoms  and  Japanese  lanterns  were 
used  effectively  in  the  outer  hall  and 
Sorority  Room,  which  added  to  the 
artistic  effect. 

Professor  Jacoby,  of  Kenosha, 
furnished  the  music  and  all  pronounced 
the  evening  very  pleasantly  spent. 

The  old  girls  back  for  the  dance 
were  Mrs.  Ernest  Reichel,  (Lenore 
Stephens),  and  Misses  Elsie  Johnson, 
Ruth  Mabry,  Gladys  Sennit  and  Eliza- 
beth Townsend.

Saturday  the  Y.  W.  C.  A.  enter- 
tained fifty-two  children  from  the 
Association  House  in  the  city.  After 
having  luncheon  on  the  beach  the 
children  wandered  through  the  ravines 
and  gathered  flowers.  They  were  on 
the  campus  long  enough  to  try  the 
new  teeter  and  swing. 

Sunday  evening  at  Vespers  Mrs. 
Reid  gave  her  stereoptican  views  and 
talk  on  "The  Story  of  the  Angels." 
The  pleasure  of  seeing  the  beautiful 
views  and  hearing  such  an  interesting 
explanation  of  them  was  so  great  that 
we  feel  deeply  indebted  to  Mrs.  Reid 
and  wish  we  had  more  adequate  means 
of  expressing  our  gratitude. 

Sir  George  and  Lady  Mary 
Cooper  with  their  daughter,  of  Lon-

Hall  the  first  of  the  week.  Lady 
Cooper  is  the  sister  of  the  late  James 
Heny  Smith,  the  donor  of  Smith  Hall. 
She  was  for  several  years  a  student  at

GEORGE  WILLIAM  WRIGHT    AT   CHAPEL. 

The  Rev.  Ceorge  William  Wright? 
a  Lake  Forest  alumnus  and  a  former 
instructor  in  the  College,  who  is  in  this 
con i' try  on  a  furlough  from  his  duties 
as  a  missionary  in  the  Philippines,  ad- 
dressed the  the  students  at  chapel  last 
Thursday  afternoon.  He  spoke  from 
the  fullness  of  a  long  and  helpful  serv- 
ice in  the  Islands. 

He  spoke  first  of  the  pleasurable 
surprise  that  he  has  experienced  in 
meeting  so  far  across  the  waters  some 
of  those  whom  he  had  known  in  his 
college  clays.  Indeed,  Lake  Forest  has 
quite  a  colony  of  her  sons  there — a 
representation  of  which  she  may  be 
proud. 

Perhaps  no  government  has  ever 
undertaken  so  huge  a  task,  as  have  we 
in  taking  the  Philippines;  but  no  enter- 
prise of  ours  has  succeeded  so  well. 
We  know  not  yet  what  the  ultimate 
outcome  i-  to  be  but  we  know  that  we 
have  given  them  justice  in  place  of  in- 
justice, peace  for  confusion,  sanitation 
for  filthiness,  kindness  instead  of  Span- 
i-h  cruelty.  From  us  they  have  re- 
ceived freedom  of  speech,  freedom  of 
the  press,  free  schools,  freedom  of 
worship,  none  of  which  the}7  enjoyed 
under  the  Spanish  regime.  It  has  been 
worth  while.

THE    BEGINNINGS    OF    STUDENT    SELF- 
GOVERNMENT. 

Acting  upon  the  suggestion  of 
Acting- President  Halsey,  which  comes 
as  a  result  of  the  May-Day  disturbance, 
the  men  of  the  Junior  and  Senior 
classes,  met  together  a  week  ago  last 
Tuesday  to  discuss  the  possibility  of 
formulating  and  securing  some  method 
of  self-government  After  consider- 
able discussion  pro  and  con,  this  body 
adjourned  without  definite  action,  to 
meet  again  last  Monday  afternoon. 

Upon  re- assembling  they  decided 
to  submit  to  the  men  of  the  student 
body  the  following  propositions: 

1.  That  the  men  of  the  student 
body  indemnify,  to  the  extent  of  fifty 
dollars,  the  University  for  damages  to 
property  resulting  from  the  May-Day 
celebration. 

2.  That  a  committee  shall  be  es- 
tablished consisting  of  the  men  of  the 
Senior  and  Junior  classes,  together 
with  two  representatives  each  from 
the  the  two  lower  classes,  which  com- 
mittee shall  endeavor  rightly  to  direct 
the  trend  of  student  opinion;  and  at  all 
times  to  guard  the  honor  and  welfare 
of  the  College. 

These  two  propositions  were  sub- 
mitted to  all  the  men  of  the  college  in 
mass-meeting  assembled  last  Monday 
afternoon  and  were  unanimously 
adopted. 

The  plan,  it  is  true,  is  very  vague 
and  indefinite;  and  all  details  are  yet 
to  be  worked  out.  Indeed  it  is  doubt- 
ful whether  a  working  plan  can  be 
secured  this  year.  But  nevertheless 
it  is  a  step,  and  a  long  one,  toward  the 
betterment  of  the  morale  of  our  col- 
lege community.

BELOIT  FRESHMEN  WIN  UNANIMOUSLY  IN 
DEBATE  WITH  LAKE  FOREST. 

(Reprinted  from  the  Beloit  Round  Table) 

In  the  third  college  debate  of 
the  year,  held  at  the  Baptist  Church 
on  Friday,  May  10,  the  Freshmen  team 
closed  the  season  with  a  unanimous 
victory.  Both  sides  showed  a  wide 
familiarity  with  the  question  and  their 
arguments  for  and  against  the  federal 
license  of  corporations  clashed  in  true 
debating  style.  In  general,  however, 
the  points  brought  up  by  the  Lake 
Forest  men  lacked  that  unity  of  corre- 
lation which  made  so  effective  the  work 
of  their  opponents;  they  failed  to  push 
home  and  clinch  the  really  important 
arguments  which  they  presented. 

Harleigh  H.  Hartman,  in  opening 
the  debate  for  the  affirmative,  argued 
that  government  supervision  of  cor- 
porations to  be  efficient  must  keep  pace 
with  industrial  centralization,  but  his 
thought  was  far  too  general  to  affect 
the  special  issue  in  question.  The 
leader  of  the  Beloit  team,  Mr.  Lyons, 
followed  with  a  clear,  incisive  state- 
ment of  what  the  affirmative  must 
prove  in  justifying  federal  license,  and 
then  proceeded  to  show  that  such  a 
scheme  was  unnecessary.  Taking  up 
successively  rebates,  over-capitaliza- 
tion, campaign  contributions,  etc.,  he 
explained  how  state  control  supple- 
mented by  additional  specific  federal 
legislation  was  at  present  supplying  all 
needed  regulation.  His  argument  was 
based  wholly  on  facts  and  could  not  be 
successfully  controverted. 

After  Mr.  Lyons  came  the  most 
vigorous  speaker  of  the  affirmative,  A. 
J.  Hennings.  In  order  to  establish  the 
necessity  of  government  licenses,  he 
brought  out  the  fact  that  states  such  as 
Delaware,  New  Jersey,  and  West  Vir- 
ginia, by  relaxing  corporation  laws  for 
the    sake    of   patronage    and    revenue,

irreparably  weaken  state  control.  Nu- 
merous instances  of  over-capitalization 
also  were  cited,  although  it  was  not 
made  clear  just  how  the  adoption  of 
federal  license  would  remedy  these 
evils. 

The  debate  was  then  continued  for 
Beloit  by  Mr.-  Wackman.  Federal 
license  received  another  heavy  blow  at 
his  hands  and  the  charge  that  it  would 
be  complex,  cumbersome,  and  open  to 
graft  or  evasion,  seriously  embarrassed 
his  opponents.  They  did  not  begin  to 
answer  all  the  objections  which  Mr. 
Wackman  established. 

The  ablest  work  of  the  Lake  For- 
est men  came  out  in  the  next  speech 
by  C.  A.  Bruer.  In  spite  of  a  lack  of 
freedom  in  expression,  he  showed  a 
keen  appreciation  of  the  weaknesses  in 
the  negative  argument.  Had  he  estab- 
tablished  fully  the  point  which  he  sug- 
gested—  that  the  license  bureau  was  to 
have  simply  the  right  of  inspection  and 
regulation  without  attempting  the  stu- 
pendons  task  which  Mr.  Wackman  out- 
lined— his  remarks  would  have  been 
very  effective.  Lloyd  Maurer  closed 
the  constructive  debate  with  the 
strongest  speech  of  the  evening.  Al- 
though his  proposition  that  absolute 
federal  licensing  power  is  a  menace  to 
the  American  system  of  local  self-gov- 
ernment was  a  difficult  argument  to 
present,  the  energy  and  fire  with  which 
the  speaker  delivered  it  had  a  very 
telling  effect  in  rounding  out  the  de- 
bate. 

Of  the  two  rebuttal  speeches  made 
by  the  leaders  of  the  teams,  that  of  Mr. 
Lyons  was  far  superior  and  the  force 
and  smoothness  with  which  he  summar- 
ized the  debate  as  a  whole,  left  little 
doubt  of  the  result  in  the  minds  of  the 
audience.  All  in  all,  the  debate  this 
year  is  pronounced  by  many  to  have 
been    the  best  Freshman  contest  of  a 


college  generation.  The  polish  and 
ease  with  which  the  Beloit  men  pre- 
sented their  arguments,  promises  much 
for  the  college  debates  of  the  next 
generation.  We  have  every  reason  to 
be  proud  of  our   igio  debating  team

Amherst  college  is  to  benefit  by 
the  will  of  the  late  Edward  W.  Currier 
to  the  amount  of  $500,000.  Mr.  Cur- 
rier was  a  member  of  the  class  of  '65. 
and  died  twelve  months  ago.  He  left 
$5000,000  to  his  alma  mater,  subject  to 
the  life  interest  of  a  relative.  She  has 
died  recently  and  the  college  comes 
into  its  legacy.  Mr.  Currier  was  the

Hoodoo  BroKen  at  Last. 

The  baseball  team  took  its  trip 
through  Indiana  last  week,  and  in  the 
last  of  the  three  games  played  the 
overworked  "hoodoo"  took  a  nap  and 
Lake  Forest  won 

The  first  game  was  with  Wabash 
College  at  Crawfordsville.  Lake  For- 
est's errors  were  costly  while  the 
Wabash  players  bunched  their  hits 
well,  and  as  a  result  the  final  score 
stood  eight  to  nothing.

The  story  of  the  Depauw  game 
Thursday  is  somewhat  different.  Lake 
Forest  out-hit  Depauw  but,  as  fre- 
quently happens  at  Greencastle,  there 
was  more  than  the  Depauw  team  to 
reckon  with,  namely,  the  umpire. 
Lake  Forest  was  in  the  lead  until  the 
seventh  inning,  when  several  decisions 
that  were  obviously  rank,  brought  the 
aforesaid  officiai  into  the  limelight  and 
retired  the  Red  and  black  with  the 
small  end  of  an  eight  to  five  score.

Friday  the  team  played  Indiana 
State  Normal  at  Terre  Haute,  and  the 
game  was  the  closest  of  the  series  A 
base  on  balls,  two  errors  and  a  timely 
hit  brought  in  two  runs  for  Lake  For- 
est in  the  first  inning. 

Normal  crowded  in  two  scores  in 
the  fourth,  but  two  more  hits  in  the 
sixth  gave  another  run  to  Lake  Forest 
and  ended  the  scoring  for  the  game. 
Normal  managed  to  give  us  a  scare  in 
the  last  of  the  ninth  when,  with  two 
men  down,  she  got  men  on  first  and 
second.  Reeves  hit  to  Keithley,  who 
threw  low  to  first,  but  Baker  made  a 
pretty  stop  and  ended  the  game  with 
Lake  Forest  at  last  at  the  big  end  of 
the  score.

Fourth  Annual  Meet  a  Success. 

Lake  Forest  College  held  her 
Fourth  Annual  Inter.-cholastic  Track 
and  Field  Meet  last  Saturday.  The 
prep,  school  athletes  arrived  in  the 
morning,  took  lunch  at  the  College 
Commons  and  displayed  their  athletic 
ability  in  the  afternoon. 

Four  days  of  almost  continual  rain 
made  the  track  heavy  and  the  field 
slippery  but  the  average  records  were 
good  and  in  spite  of  the  adverse  con- 
ditions three  Lake  Forest  Interscholas- 
tic  records  were  broken.  Two  of  these 
were  smashed  by  Bedell,  Lake  Forest's 
star  weight  man,  who  raised  his  own 
record  in  the  hammer  throw  by  five 
feet  and  also  beat  the  shot  put  record 
of  forty-three  feet  four  inches  made 
by  Giffen,  of  Joiiet,  last  year  by  more 
than  a  foot.  The  other  record  was 
broken  when  the  Oak  Park  relay  team 
ran  the  half-mile  in  one  minute  forty- 
two  and  a  fifth  seconds. 

In  the  meet,  Oak  Park  High 
School  and  Lake  Forest  Academy 
took  the  lead  from  the  start  and  the 
fight  for  first  place  was  between  these 
two  schools  but  the  result  was  in  doubt 
until  the  last. 

Oak  Park  scored  five  points  to 
Lake  Forest's  four  but  Lake  Forest 
took  enough  second  and  third  places 
to  make  the  final  score  thirty-eight 
to  thirty  in  her  favor 

North  Division  and  Chicago  Latin 
were  tied  for  third  place  with  thirteen 
points  apiece.  Evanston  Academy 
scored  ten  points,  New  1  Tier  nine  and 
the  University  School  four  while 
Evanston  High  School  was  shut  out 
entirely. 

Bedell  and  Savage  were  the  indi- 
vidual stars  of    the    meet,    the    former

The   Stentor  Election. 

The  annnal  election  of  the  Sten- 
tor Hoard,  according  to  the  rules 
adopted  last  spring,  is  set  for  a  week 
from  next  Tuesday,  June  1 1.  For  the 
edification  of  our  readers,  we  print 
herewith  the  rules  governing  the  elec- 
tion. 

We  think  it  not  a  very  excellent 
system  of  election;  but  on  the  whole 
we  deem  it  better  to  let  it  obtain, 
rather  than  stir  up  the  almost  yearly 
agitation  for  a  new  election  system. 

The  committee  from  the  Senior 
class,  which  is  to    have  charge    of   the 


election  as  the  rules  provide,  has  been 
duly  chosen,  and  is  as  follows:  Wilson 
(chairman),  Caswell,  Munger,  and 
Keithley. 

It  should  be  observed  that  the 
names  of  all  candidates  for  the  STEN- 
TOR Board  must  be  handed  to  the 
chairman  of  this  committee  by  next 
Tuesday,  June  4.  We  are  in  error  in 
not  having  made  this  announcement 
before;  but  there  is  yet  ample  time  for 
candidates  to  send  in  their  names. 

In  next  week's  issue  will  appear  a 
table  giving  the  amount  of  copy  con- 
tributed by  the  members  of  the  Board 
and  the  Reportorial  Staff  for  the  cur- 
rent year. 

The  rules  of  election  are  as  fol- 
lows: 

First: 

The  Stentor  Board  shall  consist 
of  five  undergraduate  students,  who 
shall  be  elected  annually  by  ballot. 

Second: 

The  election  shall  take  place  on  the 
second  Tuesday  in  June. 
Third: 

The  Senior  Class  shall  appoint  a 
representative  committee  from  its  own 
members,  which  shall  be  empowered 
to  have  complete  charge  of  all  nomi- 
nations and  elections. 

Fourth: 

Nominations  for  places  on  the 
STENTOR  Board  shall  be  made  as 
follows: 

I.  Any  student,  wishing  to  be- 
come a  candidate  for  any 
position  on  the  STENTOR 
Board,  shall  present  in  writ- 
ing his  name  and  the  position 
for  which  he  wishes  to  be  a 
candidate,  to  the  chairman 
of  the  Senior  Committee  at 
least  one  week  before  the 
election. 


THE  STENTOR

II.  No  student  shall  be  considered 
a  candidate  who  does  not 
signify  his  intention  as  thus 
specified. 

III.  One    week  before  the    election 

the  nominations  shall  be 
closed.  The  Senior  Com- 
mittee shall  then  publish  the 
full  list  of  the  candidates. 
This  list  shall  remain  posted 
upon  the  college  bulletin 
boards  for  one  week  preced- 
ing the  election. 

IV.  If  at  the  time  of   the    closing  of 

nominations  no  candidate  has 
appeared  for  any  position 
the  Senior  committee  shall 
have  the  power  of  selecting 
a  candidate  for  that  position. 

V.  The  details  of  each  particular 
election  shall  be  regulated  by 
the  Senior  Committee  hav- 
ing the  election  in  charge.

THE  RACE. 

•Old  Mother  Nature    was    planning  re- 
volt, 

For  she  said,  "I've  become  such  a  stu- 
pid old  dolt, 

Ah!  'tis  only  too  true! 

For  routine  has  ruled,  all  my  life,  every 
action; 

There   surely  must  be  some  way  of  re- 
traction. 

Now,  what  shall  I  do?" 

'Twas  just   New   Year's    eve,    and    the 

days,  you  must  know, 
Were  being  arranged  in  the  way  they 

should  go 

All  the  year. 
Some  were  clad  all  in  furs,  some   were 

clad  all  in  white, 
Some   looked    pensive    and    sad,  some 

looked  cheerful  and  bright, 
Sweet  and  dear. 

As  they  stood  all  in  line  and  ready  to 
start 

In  their  solemn   procession,  way  down 
in  each  heart 

They  wished  they  might  run. 

Then  dear  Mother  Nature,  quick    glee 
in  her  face, 

Said,  "I  have  it — we'll  have  a  gay  run- 
away-race!" 

They  cried,  "Oh!  what  fun!" 

The  hopped  up  with   joy,  and    danced 

round  with  fun, 
And  every  wee  day  was  so  eager  to  run 
That  he  laughed  out  with  glee. 
Dear  Mother  Nature   kissed   each   one 

good-bye, 
And  gave  them  the  signal  to   start  at 
the  cry 

"One,  two,  three"! 

Well,  they  raced,  and  they  scrambled, 
and  tumbled,  and  ran; 

One  dear  little  summer-clad    August- 
man 

Was  way,  way  ahead. 

He  stopped   where  a  March-man   usu- 
ally came, 

And  the  March-man,  filled  with  the  joy 
of  the  game, 

Out  into  May  sped. 


The  whole  crew   of  February  ran   into 

May, 
Two  or  three  Aprils  chased  a  June  day 

Hard  and  fast; 
'Till  all  of  the  months  were  hopelessly 

mixed, 
And  they  never  did  get  very   properly 
fixed, 

At  the  last. 

Mother  Nature  no    longer  feels  stupid 
and  old, 

But  is  it  so  strange  that  we  shiver  with 
cold 

Here  in  May? 

But  the  dear  old   revolter's  so   pleased 
with  her  joke 

That    we    beg    of    you    all,    ye  good- 
hearted  folk, 
Just  be  gay!

the  Junior  Preps,  to  celebrate  their  vic-

connected  with  the  celebration.

Work  on  the  rebuilding  of  Durand

On  Saturday  of  this  week  the 
Academy  plays  the  University  High 
in  Lake  Forest. 

The  annual  dance  of  O.  K.  Pi  was 
given  at  the  Winter  Club  Wednesday- 
evening  of  this  week. 

The  track  team  appeared  Saturday 
in  attractive  new  suits,  for  the  fine 
w  ork  on  which  the  fellows  are  indebted 
to  Miss  Wurth. 

Phe  Alumni  celebration  plans  are 
daily  growing.  A  ball  game,'  play, 
band  concert,  and  banquet  are  all  to  be 
crowded  into  one  hilarious  afternoon 
and  evening.  June  i^th. 

The  fine  showing  of  the  Academy 
track  team  in  the  meet  last  Saturday 
and  the  winning  of  Morgan  Park  at 
Michigan  makes  the  Inter-academc  at 
Armour  next  Friday  of  great  impor- 
tance. The  winner  of  this  meet  has 
strong  claim  to  leadership  among  the 
western     academies   and   high    schools. 

Lake  Forest  Academy's  victory  in 
the  Interscholastic  Meet  Saturday  was 
a  great  surprise  to  many.  Oak  Park 
won  the  l'eloit  Interscholastic,  and  was 
iresh  from  victory  in  the  Illinois  Uni- 
versity meet.  The  "Dope"  was  all  in 
her  favor.  Oak  Park  missed  Randolph, 
her  star  sprinter,  but  Lake  Forest 
evened  things  up  by  losing  Schnur, 
who  would  have  been  good  for  many 
points. 


Yale  is  not  so  anxious  now  to  com-

Last  Friday  evening  Managers 
Howard  Shroyer  and  Ernest  Palmer 
pulled  off  their  second  annual  Vaude- 
ville Show  before  a  large  and  most  ap- 
preciative audience.  The  program  as 
rendered  was:

1.     Collusion  between  a  Water  Snaikand 
Allegaiter 
2.     At  the  Bar  of  Justice 

The  Actorines 
The  Climax 


The  concensus  of  public  opinion 
was  that  the  show  was  one  of  the  best 
ever  given  in  Lake  Forest. 

Not  one  number  in  the  entire  pro- 
gram suffered  from  inattention.  From 
the  time  that  Miss  Nesbit  opened  the 
performance  to  the  King  Dodo  finale 
by  the  Actorines,  the  show  was  inter- 
esting and  the  audience  was  most  lib- 
eral with  its  applause. 

Without  detracting  from  the  great 
excellence  of  all  the  performers,  one 
canno-t  refrain  fronvgiving  special  men- 
tion to  the  Cutler  Twins,  who  were  the 
the  feature  of  the  'Izumi  Concert  Com- 
pany, and  to  the  Actorines,  who  were 
never  funnier. 

Every  one  in  the  College  that  was 
"rag'able  was  judiciously  and  suffi- 
ciently ragged,  and  everybody  left  the 
hall  with  the  feeling  of  having  spent  a 
very  pleasant  evening,  where  bubbling 
humor  and  pertinent  wit  ran  high. 

Withal  the  saddest  part  of  the 
Show  is  the  realizarion  that  Palmer  and 
Shroyer  are  never  again  to  grace  the 
boards  of  the  Art  Institute  in  their 
perfumed  Actorine  stunt.  It  might  be 
well,  however,  to  state  here  that  they 
may  be  seen  soon  at  the  Illinois  in  a 
new  musical  comedy  by  "Lemon"  Ade-

FRESHMAN  -  SOPHOMORE     DECLAMATION 
CONTEST. 

The  annual  Freshman-Sophomore 
Declamation  Contest  took  place  Tues- 
day evening,  May  28,  in  Reid  Memo- 
rial Chapel,  with  Dr.  Halsey  acting  as 
chairman.  Those  who  attended,  small 
in  numbers  as  usual,  heard  an  unusu- 
ally good  contest.  There  is  rarely  a 
contest  but  has  its  weak  parts — this 
had  none.  Every  one  of  the  eight 
contestants  was  thoroughly  familiar 
with  both  the  spirit  and  the  letter  of 
his  declamation.  The  judges,  Miss 
Brown  of  Ferry  Hall,  Mr.  Lewis  of  the 
Academy,  and  Professor  John  M. 
Clapp  of  the  College,  awarded  the 
favors,  first,  to  Mr.  Bruer,  '10;  and  sec- 
ond, to  Mr.  Waldorf,  '09.  The  Mc- 
Pherson  Declamation  Prize  of  twenty- 
five  dollars  was  awarded  Mr.  Bruer  for 
the  best  oratorical  declamation. 

This  contest  differed  from  most  of 
its  predecessors  in  that  but  one  from 
Lois  Hall  appeared  on  the  program, 
and  in  that  there  were  no  dramatic 
readings.  If  any  criticism  may  be 
offered,  it  is  that  a  series  of  eight  ora- 
torical declamations  tends  to  become 
monotonous  to  the  auditors. 

Miss  Reynolds  opened  and  closed 
the  program  with  two  excellent  organ 
solos. 

The  following  is  the  program:

THE  STENTOR  ELECTION. 


Election  TaKes  Place  Next  Tuesday   Noon. 

The  annual  election  of  a  STENTOR 
Board  will  take  place  immediately  after 
Chapel  on  Tuesday  next,  in  accordance 
with  the  Rules  of  Election  adopted  last 
year.  The  list  of  candidates  for  the 
various  positions  on  the  Board  has  been 
posted  since  last  Tuesday.  It  is  as 
follows: 

For  Editor-in-Chief — 

Horace  F.  Harvey,  '08. 
S.  Peter  Robineau,  '09. 
For  Manager- 
Floyd  L.  Berkheiser,  '08. 
John  O.  Young,  '10. 
For  News  Editor — 

Harry  W.  Otto,  '08. 
Elmer  O.  Thompson,  '10. 
For  Athletic  Editor — 
Joseph  L    Lusk,  '09. 
William  B.  Marquis,  '09. 
For  Literary  Editor — 

Harry  E.  Carlson,  '08. 
William  H.  Igou,  '10. 
We  think  it  rather  a  reflection 
upon  the  interest  of  the  student  body 
in  STENTOR  affairs,  that  the  Senior 
Committee  of  Election  has  had  some 
little  difficulty  in  getting  two  candi- 
dates for  each  office. 


O,  do  not  pray  for  easy  lives.  Pray 
to  be  stronger  men.  Do  not  pray  for 
tasks  equal  to  your  powers.  Pray  for 
powers  equal  to  your  tasks.  Then  the 
doing  of  your  work  shall  be  no  miracle. 
Every  day  you  shall  wonder  at  your- 
self, at  the  richness  which  has  come  to 
you  by  the  grace  of  God. — Phillips

THE    GARDEN  OF  FLOWERS. 

Saturday  evening,  June  the  first, 
a  chorus  of  young  women  from  the 
Association  House,  Chicago,  gave  a 
cantata,  "The  Garden  of  Flowers"  at 
the  Art  Institute  to  a  large  and  well 
pleased  audience.  The  artistic  arrange- 
ment of  the  stage,  which  was  beauti- 
fully decorated  with  branches  and 
■flowers,  added  much  to  the  effective- 
ness of  the  rendition.  Especially 
pleasing  were  the  numbers  of  Miss 
Maria  Helgesen,  soprano,  given  in  her 
usual  charming  manner.  Miss  Helge- 
sen is  well  and  favorably  known  in 
Lake  Forest  and  her  selections  were 
enthusiastically  received.

WABASH  SHUT  OUT. 


Hoosiers  Let  Down  Without  a  Hit. 

Lake  Forest  defeated  Wabash  Col 
lege  last  Saturday  in  the  best  game 
that  has  been  played  on  Farwell  Field 
for  many  days.  Keithley  pitched  a 
great  game  and  was  given  excellent 
support,  with  the  result  that  Wabash 
was  let  down  without  a  hit  or  run  to 
her  credit.  In  the  third  inning  only 
did  the  visitors  look  at  all  dangerous. 
They  succeeded  in  getting  men  on 
second  and  third  with  two  outs,  but 
Adams  struck  our  and  ended  the  inning. 

Lake  Forest  started  in  the  first  in- 
ning with  a  rush.  Scott  singled  and 
stole  second.  Keithley  followed  with  a 
base  on  balls  and  Callahan  got  to  first 
on  an  error.  Stoltz  singled,  Baker  took 
another  base  on  balls  and  the  side  was 
not  retired  until  three  men  had  crossed 
the  plate.  Lake  Forest  took  another 
run  in  the  fourth  and  one  more  in  the 
fifth,  which  ended  the  scoring  for  the 
game. 

In  the  fifth  inning  Lake  Forest 
had  three  men  on  bases  with  no  outs 
and  because  of  poor  base  running 
scored  but  one  run.  This  was  the  only 
incident  that  marred  the  playing  of  the 
home  team. 

The  team  was  crippled  by  the  loss 
of  Captain  Milner  at  third,  but  the  men 
worked    together    well    and    made   but 


two  errors,  neither  of  which  were  costly, 
Callahan's  work  on  second  base  de- 
serves mention,  as  out  of  eleven 
chances  he  made  but  one  error. 

A  "no  hit  no  run"  game  seldom 
occurs  in  college  baseball,  and  to  have 
pitched  one  against  such  a  hard  hitting 
team  as  Wabash  has  is  a  stunt  that 
Keithley  may  well  be  proud  of.

afternoon  in  what  will  probably  be  the 
last  game  of  the  season.  Two  more 
games  are  scheduled  but  as  the  end  of 
the  school  year  is  so  near  it  has  been 
thought  best  to  cancel  them. 

The  team  is  in  excellent  condition 
now,  as  was  shown  in  the  Wabash 
game  and  they  are  confident  of  ending 
the  season  with  a  victory. 

Inter-Class  Games. 

The  inter-class  baseball  games, 
which  always  attract  a  great  deal  of 
interest  during  the  last  part  of  the 
year,  will  be  played  soon.  The  Fresh- 
man-Sophomore game  will  probably 
be  played  this  week. 

The  Junior-Senior  game  will  take 
place  in  the  first  part  of  next  week 
and  the  final  game,  for  the  champion- 
ship will  be  played  between  the  two 
winning  teams  a  few  days  later. 
Naught-seven  has  won  the  series  for 
the  last  two  years  but  is  rather  crippled 
this  year  and  it  is  thought  that  a  new 
champion  will  be  found.

THE    NINE    AGES   OF  MAN  AS  VIEWED  BY 
THE  LAOS. 

The  Rev.  Henry  White,  of  the 
Class  of  '00,  who  is  now  a  missionary 
among  the  Laos,  sends  the  following: 
At  ten  years  of  age,  a  boy    does    not 

mind  bathing  in  cold  water. 
At    twenty,    he    enjoys    talking  to  the 

girls. 
At  thirty,  he  is  thoroughly  in  love  with 

life. 
At  forty,  he  can  work   with   the    speed 

of    lightning — "In     the     prime    of 

life." 
At  fifty,  he  does    not  get  angry  with  a 

little  girl's  chidings — he  has  learned 

endurance. 
At  sixty,  he  coughs  like  the  barking  of 

a  fawn. 
At  seventy,  he  is  crippled   and    infirm, 

likes  to  lie  and  sit. 
At  eighty,  his  laugh  is  like  a  cry. 
At  ninety,  if  he  has  fever  he    will    die; 

if  not  he  will  die  anyhow.

LUCK. 

Luck  means  rising  at  six  o'clock  in

people's.  Luck  means  appointments 
you  have  never  failed  to  keep,  the 
trains  you  have  never  failed  to  catch. 
Luck  means  trusting  in  God  and  your 
own  resources. — Max  O'Rell. 


Gather  ye  rose-buds  while  ye  may;

Commencement 
Number. 

There  will  be  no  issue  of  the  STEN- 
TOR  next  week.  Number  thirty  of 
Volume  Twenty-one  will  be  published 
on  the  morning  of  June  the  nineteenth 
as  a  Commencement  Number.  Efforts 
are  being  made  to  make  this  the  largest 
and  best  commencement  number  that 
has  been  published.  The  issue  will 
contain  at  least  twenty  pages  of  read- 
ing matter  together  with  a  number  of 
cuts,  and  it  will  be  printed  on  an  extra 
fine  quality  of  paper.  We  bespeak  the 
interest  and  the  aid  of  our  readers  in 
making  this  the  best  commencement 
number  of  years. 


The  Room  Deposit ! 

As"  the  end  of  the  college  year 
draws  near,  we  are  again  reminded  of 
our  annual  college  grievance,  namely, 
the  room  deposit.  For  several  years 
past — just  how  long  we  do  not  know — 
this  deposit  has,  in  part,  been  so  dis- 
posed of  by  the  authorities  as  to  leave 
a  rankling  in  the  minds  of  all  the  men. 
When  out  of  a  room  deposit  of  five 
dollars  per  man,  required  avowedly  ta 
cover  any  unusual  damage  to  the 
rooms  or  buildings,  from  two  to  three 
dollars  per  man  is  appropriated  by  the 
college  authorities,  there  is  some  in- 
justice somewhere. 

Of  course  it  is  claimed  that  the 
room  deposit  acts  as  a  restraint  upon 
the  men  to  prevent  their  damaging 
college  property,  and  that  an  appropri- 
tion  of  a  large  amount  of  this  deposit 
is  needed  to  indemnify  the  college  for 
damage  which  has  been  done  by  those 
not  honorable  enough  to  avow  it.  But 
we  know  of  a  few  cases  where  this  ap- 
propriation of  a  goodly  part  of  the  de- 
posit by  the  authorities,  has  not  only 
not  been  a  restraint,  but  has  actually 
resulted  in  deliberate  damage  to  prop- 
erty. We  further  believe  that  consid- 
erable of  the  rough-housing  which 
most  of  us  greatly  deplore,  is  the  re- 
sult, partly,  of  the  way  in  which  the 
room  deposit  is  managed.  But, 
granted  that  a  certain  amount  of  this 
deposit  must  be  used  to  pay  for  this 
unacknowledged  damage,  it  is  difficult 
to  conceive  how  two  or  three  hundred 
dollars  must  go  every  year  to  pay  for 
damaged  property — indeed,  frankly, 
we  do  not  believe  that  it  does  all  go 
for  that  purpose.  We  believe  that 
some  of  it  has  been  used  to  pay  for  the 
care  and  general  wear  of  the  rooms 
and  buildings  for  which  we  have  already 
paid  one  fee. 

Again,  last  year  the  fraction  of  the 


THE  STENTOR 


348 


deposit  that  was  returned,  was  not  re- 
turned till  the  middle  of  the  summer. 
That  should  have  been  settled  and  paid 
back  before  the  men  had  left  for  the 
summer. 

It  is  not  the  actual  money  value  of 
which  we  are  deprived  that  rankles. 
Indeed  a  fee  covering  that  amount 
might  be  tacked  on  to  our  college  bills 
without  causing  much  comment.  But 
we  believe  that  the  deposit  has  been 
required  for  one  thing  and  used  for 
another — and  there's  the  rub. 

A  short  time  ago,  the  men  of  the 
college  were  asked  to  pay  into  the 
treasury  the  sum  of  fifty  dollars  for  the 
damage  done  on  May  Day.  Most  of 
that  amount  has  been  raised  and  turned 
over  to  the  proper  persons — the  rest 
will  probably  be  forthcoming.  The 
men  have  shown  themselves  willing  to 
pay  for  the  damage  they  have  done — 
and  we  see  no  reason  why  their  claim 
for  a  fair  disposition  of  the  room  de- 
posit should  not  receive  consideration. 


FORMER  PRESIDENT,  DR.    HARLAN,  COM- 
MENDS  1908  FORESTER. 

In  a  letter  to  one  of  the  students 
Ex-President  Harlan  highly  commends 
the  current  volume  of  the  Forester. 
He  writes: 

"I  want  to  express  my  warm  appre- 
ciation of  your  kindly  tribute.  Never 
has  anything  touched  me  more  deeply 
than  the  thoughts  and  feelings  towards 
me  on  the  part  of  the  student  body  to 
which  you  have  given  so  gracious  an 
expression. 

"If,  through  your  own  kindly  feel- 
ing you  have  not  unconsciously  exag- 
gerated the  attitude  of  the  other 
students,  then  I  am  more  than  satisfied, 
and  am  gladder  than  ever  that  during 
those  five  difficult  years  that  proved  to 
be  in  a  very  special  sense  the  turning 
years  in  the  history  of  the    College,  I 


was  its  leader  and  was  of  some  service 
in  helping  to  usher  in  the  "New  Lake 
Forest,"  whose  rosy  dawning  peeps 
out  on  almost  every  page  of  this  beau- 
tiful number  of  the  Forester, — not  only 
in  the  pictures  and  announcements  of 
the  four  new  buildings  (the  Durand 
Commons,  the  two  Blackstone  Halls, 
and  the  Carnegie  Science  Hall)  that 
are  to  work  such  a  transformation  in 
the  outward  aspect  of  things  on  the 
Campus  and  such  a  revolution  in  the 
inner  life  and  work  of  the  College,  but 
also,  and  quite  as  much,  in  the  splendid 
and  loyal  student  and  alumni-spirit 
which  throbs  throughout  the  book. 
I  congratulate  the  Editors  upon  the 
best  Forester  yet  issued.  And  they 
have  steadily  improved. 

"You  divine  the  fact  truly,  when 
you  speak  of  my  love  for  the  College 
itself,  and  for  the  young  life  that  is  be- 
ing lived  and  developed  within  its 
walls.  The  College  and  my  boys  and 
girls  who  made  it,  and  are  making  it 
today,  will  indeed  be  enshrined  for- 
ever in  my  heart  of  hearts.  May  God 
God  bless  her,  and  all  of  them. 

"With  affectionate  remembrance 
for  all  my  boys  and  girls  in  Lake  For- 
est, and  with  cordial  good  wishes  for 
the  new  President, 

I  am,  as  ever, 

Faithfully  your  friend, 
Richard  D.  Harlan. 

"P.  S. — I  was  much  amused  upon 
reading  last  week's  STENTOR  to  see 
that  the  imaginative  reporter's  pure  in- 
vention about  that  home  run  of  my 
father's,  and  its  various  concommitants, 
got  on  its  seven-leagued  boots  and  was 
a  thousand  miles  away  before  the  truth 
even  thought  of  drawing  on  its  shoes." 


Be  strong  by  choosing  wiselywhat

THE  JOSHER. 

A  senior  ornithologist  contributes 
the  following  description  of  the  habits 
of  that  rara  avis,  in  the  pursuit  of  which 
all  seniors  are  ardent,  a  "job." 

"The  common  (?)  Good  Job  (Bonus 
Positionus)  is  native  in  all  parts  of  the 
U.  S., Africa, Chinaand  the  Phillippines. 
It  is  not  a  lark.  It  is  shy  and  retiring 
and  is  remarkable  in  having  no  call, 
being  detectable  only  by  being  stepped 
on,  and  sometimes  not  then.  After 
escaping,  it  cries  'Cuckoo."  Most  of 
the  time  it  remains  in  the  air.  The 
statement  may  be  ventured  that  a 
single  specimen  in  the  hand  is  as 
valuable  as  two  in  the  agency." — The 
Oberlin  Review.

The  Academy  lost  to  the  Univer- 
sity High  Saturday  in  a  closely  con- 
tested game  by  a  score  of  6  to  7. 

The  O.  K.  Pi  party  given  on  the 
evening  of  May  29  was  a  most  attrac- 
tive affair.  Quite  a  number  of  out-of- 
town  guests  attended. 

In  the  western  inter-academic 
track  meet  at  Armour  May  31st  Lake 
Forest  missed  the  championship  by 
one  point,  Morgan  Park  taking  the 
prize.  Captain  Schnur,  of  Lake  For- 
est, was  the  star  of  the  meet.  He  took 
first  in  the  high  hurdles,  broad  jump, 
and  high  jump,  tied  for  first  in  the  pole 
vault,  second  in  the  220  dash,  and  third 
in  the  hundred.  Bedell  scored  first  in 
the  shot,  second  in  the  hammer  with  a 
throw  of  159  7  feet,  and  second  in  the 
discus.  Runkle  got  second  in  the  hun- 
dred and  third  in  the  220.  Peters  was 
second  in  the  high  hurdles,  Haynes 
took  third  in  the  440,  as  did  de  Bronk- 
art  in  the  half.  Lake  Forest  secured 
the  relay  banner,  the  team  consisting 
of  Schnur,  Runkle,  Frost,  and  Haynes, 
Tunning  away  from  the  field. 

Plans  are  practically  complete  for 
the  Commencement  Celebration.  On 
Friday,  June  15th,  at  3  o'clock  the  Odd 
and  Even  year  alumni  teams  will  play 
baseball.  John  Jackson  and  Frank 
Ferry  are  the  captains  and  they  have 
gathered  together  a  choice  array  of 
talent,  so  the  game  will  be  worth  see- 
ing. After  the  game  the  play  "An 
Academy  Cupid"  will  probably  be  re- 
peated on  the  campus.  At  7  o'clock 
the  alumni  banquet  will  be  held  in  the 
Gymnasium,    and    will    be    a    record- 


breaker  for  size.  Monday  at  12:30  a 
luncheon  will  be  given  to  visiting 
school  representatives  and  the  Senior 
class.  At  2  o'clock  will  come  the  com- 
mencement exercises  with  an  address 
by  Mr.  Charles  Holt,  and  immediately 
after  the  .Head-master's  reception  will 
be  given  in  Reid  Hall. 


THINGS  TO  THINK  ABOUT. 

No  work  is  futile  if  it  is  nobly 
planned;  no  deed  is  little  if  but  great- 
ly done. — E.  R.  Taylor. 

Life  is  not  wages  but  worth;  not 
what  we  have  but  what  we  are. — Bab- 
cock. 

As  it  is  impossible  for  a  man  to  be 
too  clean  in  his  body,  so  it  is  impos- 
sible for  him  to  be  too  honest  in  his 
soul. — Selected. 

Nothing  is  so  cold  as  culture  and 
nothing  so  mean  when  not  inflamed 
and  impassioned  by  the  Spirit  of 
Christ. — Joseph  Parker. 

When  wealth  is  lost,  nothing  is 
lost;  when  health  is  lost,  something  is 
lost,  when  character  is  lost,  all  is  lost. 
—Motto  on  the  walls  of  a  school  in 
Germany. 

The  one  secret  of  life  and  devel- 
opement  is  not  to  desire  and  plan,  but 
to  fall  in  with  the  forces  at  work,  to  do 
every  moment's  duty  aright.-— Macdon- 
ald.  The  Wabash.

testified  that  the  Faculty  are  quite  as 
good  at  cooking  as  at  teaching,  and 
every  girl  who  was  fortunate  enough 
to  try  their  skill  gives  them  the  finest

was  one  of  the  delightful  occasions 
when  it  is  possible  for  the  faculty  to 
feel  young  again.  Two  fires,  plenty 
of  blankets  and  a  tempting  supper 
bioke  the  ice  both  literally  and

JUNE  MUSICALE  OF  THE  WOMAN'S    GLEE 
CLUB. 

The  June  Musicale  which  was 
given  in  Reid  Chapel  Saturday  even- 
ing was  an  excellent  climax  to  the 
work  of  the  Women's  Glee  Club  this 
year.  Through  the  unfortunate  illness 
this  spring  of  Mrs.  Thomas,  who  has 
directed  the  Club  so  successfully,  it 
was  long  doubted  whether  there  would 
be  a  June  Concert.  However, 
the  services  of  Mr.  Brewster,  who  this 
year  turned  out  the  best  Men's  Glee 
Club  of  years,  were  secured;  and  the 
musicale  itself  is  the  best  testimonial 
to  the  training  he  has  given. 

The  soloists  of  the  evening  were 
at  their  best.  The  "June"  sung  by 
Miss  Nesbit,  was  one  of  the  best  things 
she  has  done.  Miss  Mann,  of  the 
University  of  Illinois,  played  a 
Polonaise  by  Chopin;  she  responded 
to  a  hearty  encore  with  the  first  Move- 
ment of  Beethoven's  Moonlight 
Sonata. 

Mr.  Brewster  chose  for  his  selec- 
tions two  songs  from  the  Song  Cycle, 
"Love's  Epitome,"  and  one  of  Tosti's 
songs.  His  work  has  been  heard  too 
often  to  need  praise.  Miss  Cutler  read 
"Tar  Baby"  with  great  effect.  The 
program   follows:

SENIOR  CLASS  PLAY. 
Class  of '07  Presents  "One  Summer's  Day." 

The  class  of  '07,  following  the  cus- 
tom of  their  prdecessors,  presented  last 
Monday  evening  H.  V.  Esmond's 
charming  three-act  comedy  "One  Sum- 
mer's Day."  The  scene  of  the  first 
two  acts  of  the  play  is  a  picnic  scene 
on  the  banks  of  the  Thames  one  sum- 
mer's day.  In  the  last  act  the  scene 
changes  to  the  lawn  of  Mr.  Hoddesden 
on  evening  of  the  same  day. 

Professor  Clapp,  who  trained  the 
cast,  deserves  great  credit  for  the  all- 
round  excellence  of  the  production. 
In  token  of  their  gratitude  for  his  ser- 
vices, the  class  presented  him  with  a 
loving-cup. 

The  following  is  the  cast  of  char- 
acters: 

Major  Dick  Rudyard Munger 

Phil  Marsden Keithley 

Theodore  Bendyshe Shroyer 

Robert  Hoddesden Wharton 

Tom  (his  nephew) Wilson 

Seth  (a  Gyps\ ) Sowers 

Urchin Palmer 

Irene  (Hoddesden's  niece) Miss  Martin 

Maysie  (Hoddesden's  ward) Miss  Ryon 

Mrs.  Bendyshe Miss  Williams 

Chiara Miss  Robertson 

The  thread  of  the  play  runs  as  fol- 
lows: 

Dick  Rudyard  has  been  left  guard- 
ian of  the  son  of  a  brother  officer.  The 
boy's  mother,  a  Gypsy,  appears  on  the 
scene  and  they  have  a  dispute  as  to  the 
ownership  of  the  child.     Maysie,  who

The  annual  election  of  the  Stentor 
Board  was  held  on  Tuesday,  the  ilth, 
immediately  after  chapel.  The  excite- 
ment  over   the   election    was  at  a  low 

ebb.     it    succeeded    in    bring    out 

less  than  a  hundred  students.  The 
election  was  conducted  and  the  ballots 
counted  by  the  committee  appointed 
by  the  Senior  Class,  consisting  of 
Sowers,  Caswell,  Munger,  Sommers  (in 
the  absence  of  Keithleyj,  and  Wilson 
(chairman).  The  election  resulted  as 
follows: 

Editor  in-Chief — Horace  F.  Har-

MOLIESE. 

Mr.  Hobart  Chatfield  Chatfield- 
Taylor,  who  is  the  author  of  a  standard 
work  on  the  French  dramatist,  Moliere, 
lectured  to  Professor  Bridgman's  class 
in  comparative  drama,  Professor  Van 
Steenderen's  French  class,  and  others 
in  the  French  room  last  Friday  after- 
noon on  the  life  of  Moliere.  After 
giving  a  very  graphic  though  brief 
history  of  the  dramatist's  life,  Mr.  Tay- 
lor explained  how  that  Moliere,  rather 
than  Shakespeare,  is  the  father  of  mod- 
ern drama.  Shakespeare  was  an  ideal- 
ist. His  characters  were  ideal.  Molieie 
was  a  realist  and  his  characters  are  to 
be  seen  upon  the  streets  and  in  the 
salons  of  France  today.

CLASS  GAMES. 

Seniors  and  Freshmen  Lose. 

The  two  preliminary  games  for  the 
class  championship  in  baseball  were 
played  on  Monday  and  Tuesday  of  last 
week.  Rain  made  the  diamond  almost 
unfit  for  use  on  both  days,  but,  as  it 
takes  more  than  a  mere  cloudburst  to 
stop  a  class  game,  the  war  went  on. 

The  first  game  was  between  the 
Sophomores  and  Freshmen  and  the 
former  upheld  what  dignity  they  have 
acquired  in  the  last  year  by  sending  the 
Freshmen  home  with  the  small  end  of  a 
nine  to  six  score.  Eight  of  the  Sopho- 
mores' runs  came  in  the  first  two  in- 
nings, but  after  that  the  Freshmen  set- 
tled down  and  played  well.  They  were, 
however,  unable  to  overcome  the  lead 
gained  by  naught-nine.  Robiheau 
pitched  to  Jones  for  the  Sophomores; 
Keck  and  Thompson  did  the  battery 
woi'k  for  the  Freshmen. 

TracK  and  Baseball  Captains  Elected. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  monogram 
track  men,  Jones  '09  was  elected  track 
captain  for  next  year.  Jones  makes  a 
specialty  of  the  weight  events,  but  is  a 
good  all-around  man  and  will  make  a 
good  leader. 

Russell  Scott  '09  was  elected  cap- 
tain of  the  basketball  team.  Scott  has 
played  center  on  the  team  for  two 
years  and  though  he  is  out  of  college 
now  will  be  back  next  year. 


On  Tuesday  the  two  upper  classes 
met  to  decide  which  team  should  meet 
the  victorious  Sophomore  team  for  the 
championship.  The  Seniors,  last  year's 
champions,  put  two  pitchers  in  the  box 
but  with  no  avail,  and,  not  liking  the 
idea  of  getting  rained  on  as  well  as  de- 
feated, consented  to  call  the  game  at  the 
end  of  the  fifth  inning.  Stone's  pitch- 
ing was  effective  and  at  no  time  did  the 
ex-champs,  appear  dangerous.  Because 
of  the  slippery  ball,  overthrows  were 
frequent  and  the  playing  slightly  rag- 
ged. The  final  score  was  seven  to  four  in 
favor  of  nineteen-eight. 

Batteries,  for  naught-seven.  Plun- 
ger, Caswell  and  Shroyer.  For  naught- 
eioht.  Stone  and  McCrea. 

Juniors  Are  Champions. 

In  the  final  game  for  the  class 
championship,  which  Avas  played  last 
Thursday,  naught-eight  smothered 
naught-nine  under  a  ten  to  two  score, 
and  won  the  undisputed  right  to  the 
title.  Though  the  score  does  not  show 
it.  the  game  was  the  best  of  the  series. 
The  diamond  was  dry  for  the  first  time 
since  the  series  began  and  consequently 
the  playing  was  faster  than  in  the  pre- 
vious games. 

The  Sophomores  got  one  run  in  the 
first  and  the  Juniors  were  unable  to 
score  until  the  fifth,  which  proved  to  be 
the  fatal  inning  for  naught-nine.  T\  hen

and  the  remainder  of  the  time  he  will 
spend  on  the  Maine  coast.  Mr.  Smith 
will  continue  his  research  work  in  the 
University  of  Michigan;  the  latter  part 
of  the  summer  he  will  spend  at  his 
home  in  Pennsylvania. 

Dr.  Stuart,  of  the  Garrett  Biblical 
Institute,  brother  of  Professor  Lewis 
Stuart,  gave  the  address  at  vespers,  a 
week  ago  Sunday.  From  the  story  of 
Samson,  he  drew  these  observations: 
Samson  recognized  God  as  the  giver  of 
his  great  strength;  he  taxed  that 
strength  to  the  utmost,  and  he  used  it 
for  the  common  good. 


NEW  HEAD  OF  PHILOSOAHICAL  DEPART- 
MENT. 

Owing  to  the  vacancy  left  by  Pro- 
fessor Henry  W.  Stuart,  who  will  take 
a  chair  next  year  in  Leland  Stanford, 
Mr.  Henry  Wilkes  Wright,  Ph.  D.,  in- 
structor in  the  Sage  School  of  Philos- 
ophy of  Cornell  University,  has  been 
called  to  take  the  chair  of  Philosophy. 
Mr.  Wrightcomes  highly  recommended 
by  President  Schurman  of  Cornell  and 
by  Professor  Needham,  late  of  Lake 
Forest.  He  received  his  A.  B.  at  Cor- 
nell in  1889  and  his  Ph.  D.  in  1904. 
He  held  a  graduate  fellowship  and  one 
of  the  Sage  Fellowships  in  Philosophy. 
For  the  past  four  years  he  has  been 
instructor  in  Philosophy  at  Cornell, and 
a  member  of  the  Philosophical  Asso- 
ciation. His  articles  have  been  pub- 
lished in  the  Philosopoical  Review,  In- 
ternational Journal  of  Ethics,  Psych- 
ology, Scientific  Methods,  American 
Journal  of  Theology,  and  Encyclo- 
paedia Americana. 

Miss  Denise  and  Mrs.  Lewis  enter- 
tained the  Senior  girls  at  dinner  Fri- 
day evening,  for  Dr.  Nollen. 


Y.  M.  C.  A.  CLOSES  YEAR'S  WORK. 

The  last  Y.  M.  C-  A.  meeting  of 
the  college  year  was  held  Tuesday 
evening,  June  nth,  in  the  association 
rooms.  Those  who  addressed  the  men 
were  Dr.  Halsey,  the  retiring  president; 
Dr.  Nollen,  president-elect,  and  Dr. 
Boyle.  After  a  word  of  prayer,  Dr. 
Halsey  spoke  concerning  the  fine  out- 
look for  the  association  work  next  year 
and  its  success  during  the  current  year. 
Dr.  Nollen  called  attention  to  the  need 
and  demand  of  sound,  honest  Christian 
men  for  the  world's  work  today.  Dr. 
Boyle  emphasized  what  the  previous 
speakers  had  said,  adding  a  few 
thoughts  along  the  same  line. 

After  the  meeting  the  men  were 
given  their  first  opportunity  of  meeting 
Dr.  Nollen,  and  all  were  glad  to  wel- 
come to  the  head  of  the  College  a  man 
who,  we  feel  sure,  will  take  a  keen  in- 
terest in  the  welfare  of  the  association. 


Junior  Bench  Ceremony. 

The  annual  "Junior  Bench  Cere- 
mony" was  held  last  Thursday  evening. 

The  original  program  was  broken 
up  by  the  absence  of  several  members 
of  the  faculty,  who  were  unable  to  at- 
tend because  of  the  banquet  given  that 
evening,  so  that  the  only  speakers  were 
the  class  represeniatives. 

Horace  Harvey  spoke  for  naught- 
eight.  He  gave  a  short  history  of  the 
bench  and  spoke  of  the  responsibilities 
that  the  memders  of  naught-nine  were 
about  to  take  upon  themselves  in  be- 
coming upper  classmen. 

Peter  Robineau  answered  for 
naught-nine  and,  after  singing  the 
"alma  mater,"  the  meeting  was  ended. 


Misses  Duncan,  Cutler,  and  Bock- 
hoff  will  be  the  Lois  Hall  delegates  to 
Y.  W.  C.  A.  convention  at  Lake 
Geneva  this  summer.

A  Swan  Song. 

Unlike  the  swan,  we  cannot  give 
our  last  utterance  in  a  graceful  note; 
our  voice  must  remain  harsh. 

Our  work  with  the  STENTOR  this 
year  has  undoubtedly  been  one  of  the 
finest  experiences  of  our  college  days. 
It  has  brought  with  it  hard  work  and 
many  disappointments.  We  do  not  on 
looking  back  find  grounds  for  any  un- 
due pride  in  our  achievement.  There 
are  many  mistakes.  But  we  have 
worked  hard  and,  we  think,  faithfully, 
to  subserve  the  best  interests  of  our 
alma  mater. 

The  work  of  the  Stentor  Board  has 
been  for  the  most  part  excellent.     To 


them  and  to  all  the  various  reporters 
we  express  our  deep  gratitude  for  the 
parts  they  have  played  in  the  publish- 
ing of  the  Stentor. 

We  began  this  year  with  the  theory 
that  one  can  conduct  a  college  paper 
without  necessarily  making  many  ene- 
mies. We  believe  our  theory  was  well 
founded.  We  have,  perhaps,  risked  in- 
sipidity and  commonplaceness  in  trying 
to  conserve  the  good  will  that  has  been 
ours. 

But  it  is  a  deeper  emotion  that  the 
thought  of  leaving  our  alma  mater  gives 
us.  We  have  learned  to  love  her,  her 
campus,  her  trees,  her  ravines;  and 
under  her  guidance  it  is  that  many  of 
our  best  friendships  have  been  found. 
But  she  will  draw  us  back  again. 

To  her  we  pledge  our  best  efforts 
to  bring  her  into  her  kingdom. 

With  these  commencement  days, 
Dr.  Halsey  for  the  second  time  hands 
over  the  reins  of  administration  to  a 
new  President,  and  Dr.  Nollen  takes 
up  the  work.  We  cannot  but  express 
our  admiration  of  Professor  Halsey's 
service  as  Acting  President.  We  can 
conceive  of  no  motive  for  such  hard, 
unsparing,  and  little  appreciated  labor, 
other  than  that  of  a  deep  and  unselfish 
devotion  to  Lake  Forest  College. 

Professor  Halsey  has  carried  us 
safely  through  a  critical  period;  and 
now  he  gives  the  keys  of  office  ovei  to 
our  new  President,  Dr.  Nollen.  To 
the  one  we  express  our  gratitude;  to 
the  other  we  give  our  welcome. 


Dear  Editor: 

As  the  year  closes  with  this  num- 
ber of  The  Stentor  it  may  be  well  to 
take  a  look  backward  and  note  some 
things  that  have  been  accomplished  and 
are  encouraging.  It  was  not  an  easy 
thing  to  do  to  take  hold  of  the  adminis- 
tration in  the  middle  of  the  vear  and 


THE  STENTOR 


367 


so  to  enlist  the  very  hearty  support  of 
the  students  and  Faculty  and  Lake 
Forest  friends  of  the  College  as  to 
avoid  failure.  There  has  been  a  most 
encouraging  co-operation  on  the  part  of 
all  who  have  been  appealed  to  for  bring- 
ing the  year  through  to  a  successful 
conclusion.  One  cannot  speak  too  high- 
ly of  the  spirit  of  loyalty  and  co-opera- 
tion that  has  been  shown  by  the  stu- 
dents in  seeking  to  efface  the  traces  of 
any  thoughtless  conduct  for  which  they 
have  been  responsible  during  the  year 
and  to  make  not  only  compensation, 
but  manly  atonement. 

Again,'  they  have  shown  a  cordial 
devotion  to  the  institution  in  the  work 
that  the  glee  clubs  have  done  as  first- 
class  advertising — on  the  trip,  in  Lake 
Forest,    and   in    the    Chicago    churches. 
The  friends  of  the  institution  who  are 
so  often   called  upon  to  give  financial 
assistance  to  promote  the  various  enter- 
prises which   are   so   important   in   the 
eyes  of  the  students  and  of  the  faculty, 
have  responded  most  heartily  this  year 
and  gratitude  is  due  them,  not  only  for 
their  financial  help,  but  for  the  courte- 
ous  and   cordial  way   in  which   it  has 
been    rendered.       The    pastor     of    the 
church  has  been  an  inspiration  to  us  all 
in   the   manful   Christianity   which  has 
stimulated  every  one  to  seek  to  do  his 
best,  and  the  faculty  have  got  the  in- 
spiration of   all  this  and  seem  to  look 
forward  to  a  bright  future.   The  coming 
of  the  man  who,   at  the  close  of  this 
Commencement  Day,  will  take  into  his 
hands  the  administration  of  the  institu- 
tion, has  awakened  the  greatest  interest 
and  anticipation,   and  he  finds   a  com- 
munity of  both  town  and  gown  ready  to 
extend  to  him  a  most  cordial  welcome 
and  ready  to  back  him  in  every  good 
work  and  deed. 


The  year  ends,  we  believe,  with  re- 
newed and  larger  hope  for  the  year  that 
is  coming. 

John  J.  Halsey. 


OCTETTE  SINGS  AT  FORTY-FIRST  STREET 
PRESBYTERIAN  CHURCH. 

Mr.  Lewis,  Mr.  Crozier,  and  the 
members  of  the  Octette  were  the  guests 
of  honor  at  a  banquet  given  by  the 
Junior  Young  Men's  Bible  Class  of  the 
Forty-first  Street  Presbyterian  Church 
of  Chicago  last  Thursday  evening.  At 
the  close  of  the  dinner  Mr.  Lewis  and 
the  Octette  entertained  the  boys  and 
their  friends  for  an  hour.  Mr.  Lewis 
gave  a  strong  plea  for  for  the  Academy 
and  College,  a  plea  which,  together 
with  his  reading  and  the  singing  of  the 
Octette,  should  result  in  a  strong  spirit 
for  Lake  Forest  within  the  vicinity  of 
that  church. 


ALLENDALE  HOUSE  PARTY. 

A  small  party  of  Juniors  and  Sen- 
iors attended  a  week-end  house  party 
at  Allendale  farm,  which  overlooks 
Cedar  Lake,  as  the  guests  of  "Captain" 
and  Mrs.  Bradley  and  Mr.  Palmer. 
Sailing  was  the  chief  diversion.  Those 
who  attended  were  the  Misses  Cutler, 
Mary  Bockhoff,  Robertson,  Anne  Ryon 
and  Steele,  and  Messrs.  Schroyer,  Wil- 
son, Palmer,  Munger,  and  Dickey. 


CAST  OF  SENIOR  PLAY  DINE. 

Those  of  the  Senior  Class  who 
took  part  in  the  Senior  Play,  together 
with  their  prompter,  were  the  guests  of 
Mr.  Howard  Shroyer  for  dinner  at  the 
Kappa  Sigma  house  last  Thursday 
evening.  Mr.  Shroyer  proved  himself 
an  excellent  host.  The  fact  of  there 
being  just  thirteen  diners  seemed  not 
in  the  least  to  deter  them  from  the 
enjoyment  of  the  dinner  set  before 
them.

After  many  postponements,  due 
to  the  inclemency  of  the  weather, 
"Comus,"  by  Milton,  was  given 
Wednesday  afternoon,  June  5,  by  the 
Ferry  Hall  elocution  and  reading  pu- 
pils. As  it  was  still  impossible  to  give 
the  play  on  the  campus  the  stage  of 
Smith  Hall  auditorium  was  very  beau- 
tifully decorated,  so  that  the  spirit  of 
the  words  was  kept  even  indoors. 
The  following  was  the  cast:

was  held  in  the  Chapel,  which  was 
decorated  with  spring  blossoms. 

Miss  Elizabeth  Groenveld,  'oi-'04, 
spent  over  Sunday  with  Gertrude  Hen-

Sigma  Fraternity  House  last  Friday, 
June  7.  The  evening  was  spent  in 
dancing,  and  the  "good-byes"  were 
said  regretfully,  for  to  many  present  it 
was  the  last  party  in  Lake  Forest;  but 
like  all  "lasts,"  it  was  one  of  the  most 
enjoyable.     Those  who  attended  were:

Track  work  at  the  Academy  this 
spring  has  met  with  decided  success. 
Men  were  entered  in  a  number  of 
meets  during  the  season  and  did  well 
in  all  of  them.  In  the  First  Regiment 
indoor  meet  Schnur  and  Runkle 
were  entered  in  the  forty-yard  dash 
and  took  first  and  third  in  that  event. 
The  relay  team  also  placed.  Later,  in 
the  A.  A.  U.  indoor  meet,  the  same 
two  men  took  first  and  second  in  the 
sixty-yard  dash,  and  Schnur  equaled 
the  world's  record  in  it. 

In  the  North  Shore  Interscholastic 
meet  the  team  missed  first  place  by 
two  and  a  half  points  and  won  the  relay 
cup. 

In  the  first  outdoor  meet  of  the 
season  the  team  lost  to  the  Northwest- 
ern University  Freshmen  by  the  score 
of  sixty-eight  to  forty-nine.  This  meet 
was  practically  won  by  the  Freshmen 
in  the  long-distance  runs. 

In  the  Northwestern  Interscholas- 
tic, Schnur  and  Bedell  made  points 
enough  to  give  them  fourth  place  in 
the  meet.  In  this  meet  Schnur  was 
injured  and  was  only  able  to  enter  the 
high  hurdles,  which  he  won,  breaking 
the  track  record. 

Next  came  the  Interscholastic 
given  by  Lake  Forest  College.  The 
Academy  won  this  meet  with  thirty- 
eight  points,  her  closest  competitor 
being  Oak  Park,  winner  of  the  Illinois 
and  Beloit  meets. 

Then  came  the  Inter-academic 
meet  at  Ogden  Field.  The  meet  was 
won  by  Morgan  Park,  and  but  one 
point  behind  came  Lake  Forest.  Cap- 
tain Schnur  was  the  individual    star  of 


the  meet,  winning  four  firsts,  a  second, 
and  a  third,  and  the  relay  team  added 
anorher  banner  to  the  collection  by 
taking  first  place  with  ease. 

The  last  meet  participated  in  was 
the  University  of  Chicago's  Interschol- 
astic in  which  Captain  Schnur  broke 
the  national  interscholastic  record  in 
the  high  hurdles,  winning  them  in  fif- 
teen and  three-fifths  seconds.  Bedell 
was  fourth  in  the  shot  put,  and  the  re- 
lay team  finished  third. 

Prospects  for  a  good  baseball  team 
this  year  seemed  bright,  with  five  of  last 
year's  team  out  and  plenty  of  new  can- 
didates. However,  the  cold  and  rainy 
spring  made  practice  very  unsatisfac- 
tory and  at  times  impossible  and  this, 
combined  with  the  lack  of  steady  bat- 
ting, caused  the  erratic  playing  which 
lost  so  many  games  during  the  season. 

The  games  played  were,  as  follows: 

Lake  Forest  Academy  12,  Deerfield 
Township  High  School  4. 

Lake  Forest  Academy  3,  North- 
western Academy  23. 

Lake  Forest  Academy  2,  Oak  Park 
High  School  9. 

Lake  Forest  Academy  11,  Armour 
Academy.   11  innings,  10. 

Lake  Forest  Academy  2.  Chicago 
Freshmen  12. 

Lake  Forest  Academy  1,  Morgan 
Park  6. 

Lake  Forest  Academy  6,  University 
High  7. 

Lake  Forest  Acadenry  7,  Armour 
11. 

Lake  Forest  Academy  2,  Morgan 
Park  18. 

Ben  Schnur,  captain  of  the  track 
team  for  1907,  is  considered  the  best 
athlete  ever  turned  out  by  Lake  Forest 
Academy  and  it  would  he  hard  to  find 
his    equal    in    any    preparatory    school.

Schnur's  latest  and  best  performance 
was  the  breaking  of  the  American  In- 
terseholastic  record  in  the  high  hurdles. 
Running  against  the  best  prep,  school 
athletes  in  the  country,  he  not  only  won 
the  event,  but  cut  a  fifth  of  a  second 
from  the  previous  record,  making  it  in 
fifteen  and  three  fifths  seconds.  On 
May  12th  he  won  the  high  hurdle  event 
in  the  Northwestern  University  Inter- 
seholastie  in  sixteen  and  one-fifth  sec- 
onds, making  a  new  record  for  that 
meet,  and  on  March  13th  tied  the  in- 
door record  of  six  and  two-fifths  sec- 
onds for  the  sixty-yard  dash,  winning 
that  event  in  the  A.  A.  U.  indoor  meet. 

Besides  making  these  records 
Schnur  has  made  a  large  number  of 
points  in  the  various  meets  during  the 
season. 

In  the  meet  with  the  Northwestern 
University  Freshmen  he  won  twenty- 
three  points  and  in  the  Western  Inter- 
academic,  twenty-four.  Besides  track 
work  he  has  played  baseball  and  was  a 
star  at  football. 

The  annual  Alumni  banquet  and 
semi-centennial  dinner  was  held  in  the 
Academy  gymnasium  at  J  o'clock  on 
Saturday  evening.  The  presence  of  a 
large  number  of  the  "old  boys"  made 
the  festive  occasion  one  of  greatest 
pleasure.  The  dinner  was  excellent, 
and  the  speakers  were  in  their  liveliest 
moods.  The  following  men  were  heard 
from:  Mr.  John  V.  Farwell,  Jr.,  Pro- 
fessor Halsey,  Mr.  Lewis,  Mr.  Maclay 
Hoyne.  Dr.  Graham  Lee.  Mr.  Mathew 
Mills,  and  Mr.  Ernest  Palmer. 

Owing  to  the  stress  of  commence- 
ment festivities,  the  play  "An  Acad- 
emy Cupid,"  which  was  to  have  been 
presented  at  5  o'clock  Saturday  after- 
noon on  the  campus,  was  dispensed 
with. 


1892. 

Rev.  John  T.  Faris,  after  a  four 
years'  pastorate  in  St.  Louis,  became,  on 
April  1,  the  managing  editor  of  the  Sun- 
day School  Times.  It  may  be  added 
that  a  little  book  of  his,  entitled  "The 
Pastor  and  the  Sunday  School,"  was 
published  by  the  S.  S.  Times  Co.  last 
winter. 

Rev.  Wallace  S.  Faris  died  sud- 
denly at  I-hsien,  Shantung  Province, 
China,  on  May  14th.  No  particulars 
beyond  a  bare  cable  message  have  been 
received  as  yet,  but  it  is  interesting  to 
gather  from  a  brief  newspaper  notice 
and  his  brother's  letter  a  few  facts 
about  him.  He  was  born  in  Chicago  in 
1869,  spent  two  years  in  Lake  Forest 
in  1888-90.  taught  for  one  year,  and 
was  graduated  from  Leland  Stanford 
in  the  first  class,  that  of  1893.  After  a 
theological  course  at  Princeton,  he  went, 
in  1896,  to  Ichow  Fu,  China,  where  he 
met  with  much  indignity  at  the  time  of 
the  Boxer  riots  in  1900.  In  the  eleven 
years  of  his  service  he  bacame  greatly 
beloved  by  his  missionary  associates  and 
by  the  Chinese,  who  thoroughly  re- 
spected his  sincerity  and  the  beauty  of 
his  Christian  character.  Spending  the 
year  1905  in  this  country,  he  won  the 
hearts  of  all  whom  he  met  by  his  in- 
tense devotion  to  his  work  and  his  ab- 
solute forgetfulness  of  self.  The  influ- 
ence of  his  life  was  largely  responsible 
for  taking  his  brother  Paul  to  Ichow  Fu 
in  1905,  and  his  sister  Margaret  to  his 
own  station,  that  of  I-hsien,  of  which 
he  was  made  the  head  when  it  opened 
in  West  Shantung  Province  in  1906.  He 
always  had,  with  his  brother,  most  ap- 
preciative remembrance  of  the  time 
spent  in  Lake  Forest,  and  the  College 
is  proud  to  claim  the  honor  which  his

noble  life  brings  to  her. 
1893. 

Married,  at  Milwaukee,  June  II, 
Dr.  William  D.  McNary  and  Miss  Bes- 
sie Greenwood,  Dr.  J.  Foster  McNary 
(Buckette),  '98,  acting  as  best  man, 
and  R.  H.  Crozier,  '93,  and  five  others 
doing  their  best  to  arrange  an  over- 
whelming crowd  of  friends  of  the 
principals,  but  mostly  strangers  to  the 
ushers,  in  a  large  church  according  to 
family  connection  and  social  impor- 
tance. In  harmony  with  the  musical 
tastes  of  the  bride,  the  six  bridesmaids 
were  chosen  partly  for  their  ability  as 
singers,  and  as  the  wedding  procession 
moved  up  the  church  they  sang  the 
Lohengren  March  most  effectively. 
The  ceremony  was  performed  by  the 
Rev.  James  McNary,  the  father  of  the 
groom,  and  the  service  at  the  church 
was  followed  by  a  small  reception  at 
the  bride's  home. 

Dr.  and  Mrs.  McNary  will  spend 
the  summer  near  Milwaukee,  and  will 
be  at  home  after  October  1st  at  686 
Prospect  avenue. 

1895. 

Miss  Mabel  Gilson  has  been,  since 
1904,  assistant  teacher  in  the  girls' 
school  at  Chieng  Mai,  Laos,  Siam,  and 
just  to  fill  up  her  time  teaches  in  the 
"Prince  Royal's  College,"  makes  mis- 
sionary tours,  and  teaches  music  to  all 
budding  organists — for  mission  churches 
— who  apply.  In  another  station  in 
Laos,  at  Chieng  Rai,  Rev.  Henry  White 
has  been  settled  since  1902,  except  when 
he  and  his  family  are  traveling  up  and 
down  the  country  visiting  many  out- 
stations.

tled as  pastor  of  Shiloh  Church,  Minne- 
apolis, corner  Central  avenue  and 
Twenty-fourth  street,  a  church  of  about 
200  members.  In  connection  with  his 
residence  for  some  years  at  Langdon, 
N.  D.,  Mr.  Wilson  has  spent  a  good  deal 
of  time  on  Indian  reservations,  and  has 
made  a  first-hand  study  of  their  folk- 
tales and  customs,  and  of  their  habit* 
of  speech.  This  study  has  borne  fruit 
in  a  volume  of  folk-tales  for  children, 
called  "Myths  of  the  Red  Children," 
soon  to  be  issued  by  Ginn  &  Co.  Mr. 
Wilson  has  also  in  hand  a  children's 
history  of  the  pioneers  of  the  Northwest, 
which  may  reach  publication  this  year. 
Mr.  Wilson  writes  appreciatively  of  his 
years  in  Lake  Forest,  and  adds  that  he 
is  still  devoted  to  Greek  studies — that 
a  copy  of  Homer  always  lies  on  his 
desk.

part  of  the  state,  having  been  founded 
in  1828,  and  has  about  225  members. 
In  the  long  history  of  the  church,  which 
has  had  twenty-one  pastors,  Mr.  Angus 
is  the  third  to  be  installed,  and  he  en- 
ters upon  his  work  with  much  interest 
and  hopefulness.

Spring  has  come  and  you  haven't. 
Although  our  patterns  fairly  crackle, 
they're  so  snappy.  Grays,  Browns,  Olives, 
Tans— this  spring's  most  popular  shades — 
are  waiting  here  for  you  today. 

The  Grays,  because  of  excellent  effects, 
lead  a  little,  but  the  tans  are  coming  on 
fast,  catching  evers  eye.  And  there  is 
something  magnetic  about  the  Olives  and 
Browns.  Another  word:  Gun  Club  Checks 
new  and  very  cocky.  In  Fancy  Vestings, 
the  most  recent  shades. 

And  we  have  all  of  our  Jerrems  tailor- 
ing skill  at   your  instant   service.      Prices
