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.

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-

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

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-
President; Miss Gertrude Lamb, Sec-
retary and Treasurer.
An incident of the summer, inter-
esting to their friends in Lake Forest,
and to many former students, was the
celebration at Meadowhurst, Vernon.
New York, of the golden wedding of
Mr. and Mrs. Amzi Benedict. Mr.
Benedict was for years a trustee and
warm friend of the College, and it is
his son who now sits in the Board as
the second Alumni trustee to be chos-
en.
Married at Chelsea, Mass., July 3d,
Miss Blanche Evelyn Forest, to Mr.

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

Hall well under way long before the making the detailed plans of a single
beginning of winter. It will be fin- new building, they wished to give
ished some time during the spring, time for the two New York experts,
The new college commons will be Mr. Benjamin Wister Morris, Archi-
located at about the center of the tect, and Mr. Warren Manning, Land-
south side of the campus with its back scape Designer, to complete their

JAPAN'S REPRESENTATIVE TO LAKE
FOREST.
Among the new students whom
Lake Forest College welcomes this
year is a friend and compatriot of our
Japanese alumnus, Sochichi Asada.
Mr. Akira Izumi, who comes to Lake
Forest as a senior, received his prepa-
ration in the public schools of Japan
and was graduated from Sapora
Agricultural College in '98. He came
to the United States in 1900 and at-
tended Leland Stanford 1900-02. After
he receives his B. A. degree here he
expects to get his M. A. at the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin and then to take a
post graduate course in International
Law at Columbia. His ultimate pur-
pose is to become a member of Japan's
diplomatic service.

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

They played a clean game and took

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
for some elegant extempore oratory —
Palmer, Gibbs, Bloom '06, and
"Mother", Chapman, '06, were the
speakers.
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-

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 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
THE STENTOR
29
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.

will be offered. Five dollars will be
given for the best collection of jokes,
five dollars for the best original idea

His failure to appear was probably

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.

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.

all home athletic contests, at $5 each.

Events of the Week
THE UNIVERSITY CLUB.
The University Club will hold its
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.

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.

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
fact that the writer has been misin-
THE STENTOR
46
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-

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
Evanston auditorium. Last Saturday
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
Lake Mendota is at present the cheer-
ful prospect of the badgers.

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

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:
54
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.

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
the east this year, which is a larger
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 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

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.

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
66
THE STENTOR
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!

Fund, has contributed the first one
thousand dollars. Another five hun-
dred has come anonomously from one

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.

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
The Monmouth Game.

The men of the Senior and Junior

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
student, the Lake Forest men searched
thoroughly the country surrounding
the neighborhood of the man's home.
The searchers were divided into squads
of four or five and attempted to cover
the entire district lying between the
university, Waukegan, the man's home
west of that city, and Warrentown,
where he was to have appeared to pay
a mortgage.
Foul play is feared by the man's
friends. His habits have been such
that no suspicion of any volition on
his part is in the minds of the students
or the authorities." — Maroon.
In addition to the usual freshman
regulations Pennsylvania has adopted
another, that freshmen shall not wear
any preparatory school colors or in-
signia, and only such university em-
blems as may be awarded by the
athletic association.

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-
73
THE STENTOR
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
THE STENTOR
79
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."
THE STENTOR
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.
COLLEGE DRAMATICS ! !

tion for memberships on the Garrick

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;

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
85
-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.

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 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
California showed their spirit last
week by getting out with picks and
shovels and working on their new foot-
ball field. — Ex.

STUDENTS PASS RESOLUTIONS OF APPRE-
CIATION AND GOOD WISHES FOR
DR. HARLAN.
Last Tuesday afternoon the stud-
ents circulated a paper bearing resolu-
tions of appreciation and good wishes
for Dr. Harlan, as he leaves them.
The paper with the signatures of the
students was presented to him on
Wednesday. The following is a copy
of the resolutions:
We, the students of Lake Forest
College, recognizing Dr. Harlan's
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.
Boyle in behalf of the Lake Forest
Presbyterian Church, and according to
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.

to get honor, to be honest, "on, honor,,

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."

SOPHOMORES 4; FRESHMEN 0.
Underclassmen Msk on a Muddy Field.
The Sophomores upheld one of
the traditions of the college by defeat-
ing the Freshmen in the annual under-
classmen's football game last week.
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
THE STENTOR
97
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. —

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.

The annual football dinner will be
given in East House tomorrow evening.
Mr. and Mrs. Bryan of St. Louis
were Academy visitors last Saturday.
Mr. Lewis and Mr. Ferguson en-

The students of the Academy con-

The Academy students miss Mr.

Mr. Foster, the phrenologist, was

those who had their heads read was
Crosby.
Mr. H. E. Read of Peoria gave a
most interesting talk to the students in

Captain Schnur entertained the
football team most pleasantly at his
home in Glencoe last Saturday night.
After a fine dinner the fellows were
amused by the clever work of a

None of the Thanksgiving injuries
proved fatal, although Ridgely suffered
from a severe case of cramps. Some
twenty of the fellows spent the day at
the .Academy and enjoyed a fine
dinner.
The night before Thanksgiving
Mr. Lewis' giants met Mr. Hersch-

After all the excitement of

Christmas rested on her, individually
We feel that there should be
some expression of our appreciation
of the inspiration Mrs. Kunz-Baker
has brought us. All who have heard
her readings need not be told what a
treat they have been and how many
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-

the evening of Tuesday, the twentieth,
she read some German lyrics in the

are grateful to her for all the pleasure
and help she has given us and hope
this will not be her last appearance

Tuesday morning in chapel Miss

Handel's Great Oratorio to be Given in Part
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.
TOWN NOTES.
The Coteri-e met on Tuesday with
Mrs. Albert Cobb. The paper of the
afternoon, on Shakespeare's "Henry
Fourth" was given by Mrs. Calvin
Durand.
Dr. David Starr Jordan was en-
tertained by Professor and Mrs. Hal-
sey while in town last week.
Among the entertainments given
for Miss Ruth Durand were teas by Miss
Sarah Watson and Miss Martha Hub-
bard during the past week and a lunch-
eon and box party by Mrs. Byron L:
Smith last Friday.
Mr. and Mrs. I. P. Rumsey have
sent out invitations for a reception at
their home on Saturday to meet Mr.
and Mrs. Philip James.
Mrs. E. S. Wells entertained at
afternoon tea last Saturday for her
daughter, Mrs. Kerr.
Mr. John J. Jackson gave a dinner
on Monday evening for Mr. William
Mather Lewis.
The boys' dormitory of the Lake
Bluff Orphanage burned down early
Sunday morning, leaving about fifty
boys nearly destitute.
Mrs. Bridgman held a reception
Wednesday afternoon for Mrs.

UNIVERSITY CLUB.
The University Club will meet to-
night at the home of Professor Lewis
Stuart Professor James H. Tufts,
head of the department of philosophy
at Chicago University, will give an in-
formal talk on the school situation in
Chicago, of which he has made a close
study. Mrs. Clapp is to furnish the

Baseball After the Holidays.
Captain Milner announces that

and first basemen will start immediate-
ly after Christmas. There seems to
be an abundance of catchers this year

Bethard will be back next semes-
ter but one man can't do it all. If you

up your arm after vacation, there is a

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

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.

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

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.

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
Otto Stroble Mr. Jacob Schwartz
Lucas Mr . Igou
Simms Mr. Marquis
Carola Chapin Miss Bess Williams
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.

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.

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-
dent.

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-

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

Gymnasium work under the direc-

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

tage to contestants in the indoor meets.

CHICAGO-LAKE FOREST CLUB.
The Chicago-Lake Forest Club
held its.monthly meeting at the Chi-

Professor Needham and Professor
McKee were present and they ad-
dressed the Club.
The annual meeting of the Club
is to be held in February and it was
decided to change its character some-
what. Instead of being distinctly a
ladies' night, an effort is to be made
to get together as many alumni mem-
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.
Sec'y. -Treasurer, Aubrey Warren.
The founding of a theological sem-
inary in Ann Arbor, where students

taking work in the University, is a
project claiming much interest at the
present time. — Ex.

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.

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.

ROcKefeller MaKes New Years Gift
John D. Rockefeller made the
Univeasity of Chicago a New Year's
gift of $2,917,000. Of this princely
sum $2,700,000 was for the endowment
fund. Mr. Rockefeller's gifts to the
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-

are now forbidden to throw snowballs
in the College buildings or yards or to
smoke upon the steps or in the entries

of football or any form of scrimmage
game is forbidden on the College cam-

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.

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
THE STENTOR
133
Northern Illinois Oratorical League
we have not carried away a single first
and only one second have we acheived.
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.
Gruenstein.
The total number of American
university students is estimated at two
hundred thousand.

TICTORY OPENS BASKETBALL SEASON
Northwestern University the Victim.
Lake Forest opened the basket
ball season last Friday by defeating
Northwestern University at Evanston
by the score of sixteen to ten. The
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.

Mr. Crawford who has been lead-

regularly will receive gymnasium

At Vespers Sunday evening Pro-

the fact that Mr. Needham leaves soon

tened to his interesting talk with a
feeling of keen regret that it was the
last time he would address our vesper
service.
To the gentleman in distress on the
Ferry Hall campus at 10: 10 p. m,

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
THE STENTOR
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

students attended:

Messrs.: Frazer, Ferguson,

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

ium, the Academy basket ball team
Saturday afternoon opened the season

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

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.

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.

"J" PROM AND FLOWERS.
To buy or not to buy, — that is the
question: —
Whether 'twere nobler for me to

flowers,
Or to revolt against a Lois Hall

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

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.
Aurand and Aldons did the great-
er part of the scoring for Lewis, the

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

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.

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

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?

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

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

townspeople at the debate. The
students' admission is 15 cents.
Quite a number of Academy

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.
So many "flunks" and "cons" have
been issued to the women at Chicago
because of the rushing season's de-
mands that the girls' club will here-
after pledge no freshmen until the be-
ginning of the sophomore year.
The Triangular League, composed
of Pennsylvania, Columbia and Cor-
nell, will debate the following ques-
tion: Resolved, That immigration
should be further restricted by an
educational test.

THE ORATORICAL CONTEST.
The Oratorical Contest for the pur-
pose of choosing an orator, who shall
represent us in the Northern Illinois
Oratorical League has been set for
Wednesday, February 20. All who
wish to try for a place in the contest
must hand in to Mr. Burrill, their
orations by February 6. These ora-
tions will be judged as regards their
literary value, and the orations that
survive this test will be the ones to be
delivered on the twentieth. It is hoped
that a large number of students will
enter this contest. The inter-collegi-
ate contest is to be held at Northwest-
ern College, on the last Friday in

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

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.

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.

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

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-
stowed on him by Dr. Halsey were
none too strong, for Dr. Hill proved
Epsilon, though they have had no
experience in inter-collegiate, have
nevertheless proved strong debaters
by their work in the Literary Society.
Palmer, Kessler and Schwartz, who
represent Athenaean, have all had

but for the three years preceding that

is awaited by both societies with great
eagerness.

THE STENTOR
•classes have always been as large as
laboratory space permitted and that
students have regularly been turned
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.

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

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.

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
THE STENTOR
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.

ing to Bowdoin, has been a very effect-

and speaks with experience and a
maturity which is more common in

Although the lectures were not finan-
cially successful, they were a great
treat to the audience, and deserved a
better recognition.
FORESTER ANNOUNCEMENT.
Up to the present time very few

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.

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.

score was 26 to 19 in favor of Lake

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-

first year student has been captain of
the football team at the Appleton In-

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.

|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

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-
pus last Sunday.
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-
ment has become very prevalent
among the Eastern colleges, many
prominent men, President Roosevelt
among them, being interested in its
success. — Ex.

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

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."

THE STENTOR
LAKE FOREST
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

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."
THE STENTOR

"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.

The Academy basketball team
received a setback at the hands of St.
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
games for the Academy. Frost's work

Class of 'OS Reaps Social Triumph
The class of 1908 has been accred-
ited with innumerable achievements,
during the two and a half years of its
life. They have undisputably demon-
strated their remarkable ability as
"prom"-oters. Last Friday they under-
took to elbow Father George out of the
calcium glare upon his legal birthday,
and they succeeded. If it had not
been for the favors and the programs,
the Father of His Country would not
have been thought of at all on the 22d,
at least not among the student body of
L. F. C
The 1908 Prom, was, according to
the opinion of all who were there, the
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
ego
THE STENTOR
beaut:ful one of eight pages with a
white leather cover and with purple
braid trimmings.)
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 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

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.

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

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.

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

COLLEGE WORLD
Iowa College is to have a Senior

Harvard won the seventeenth an-

vard supported the negative.
The Students of Cincinnati Uni-

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

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
211
THE STENTOR
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-

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

The absence of a coach during the
baseball season leaves the picking of

"The New
LaKe Forest."
For several years we have fre-
quently heard the expressions "The
New Lake Forest," and "Lake For-
est, ' The Leading Small College of the
Middle West.' " They were favorite
expressions of our last President, and
the ideas which they represent, have
been dear to all those who have been
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

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.

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 Wabash.
Nothing is more noble, nothing
more venerable than fidelity. — Cicero.

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

American, who made her debut in 1845
in Park Theater, New York.

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.

Council of the Royal League of Engle-
wood. The program as rendered was
as follows:

Pickininny Lullaby Octette

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-

THE STENTOR
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
228
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.

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.

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.

Mrs. Pauline Jacobus, founder of
the Pauline Pottery, gave a display of
her pottery Friday afternoon, and
lectured on how potter}/ is made and
how she became a practical potter. We
certainly will have more interest in
pottery since we have heard something
of the art.
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.
A living, loving Christian — true of
tongue, honest of heart, pure of con-
duct, and yet lovable in daily life — is
an unanswerable argument for Christi-
anity.— Cuyler.

Illinois-Lake Forest Debate
Only Inter-Collegiate Debate of tKe Year to be
Held in Chapel Next Thursday Evening
In Reid Memorial Chapel next
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.

to this city promises to be one of the
greatest musical successes of the season.
The manager of the club states that the
members of the club have been work-
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

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

pends largely the success of the spring

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
THE STENTOR
240
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.
Wendell David of Northwestern Uni-
versity heads the list of five students in
this state that passed the recent
Rhodes' examinations, the returns of
which have just arrived from Oxford.
The successful students are one from
Northwestern University, two from St.
Ignatius, and two from Illinois Uni-
versity.
One of these five students will be
awarded the scholarship of $1,500 per
year for a period of three years. In
this second selection of a candidate the
personality of the man, his develop-
ment, both physical and mental, will
be factors in the appointment. — North-

Mr. and Mrs. Lewis entertained
the basketball team at supper last
Tuesday night.
Watch for the date of the big an-
nual Academy play in April. The
caste will begin work this week under
the direction of Mr. Lewis.
The new catalogues came from the
printer last week. The cover is in the

The book contains a number of fine

On next Sunday Dr. Boyle will
speak to the students at vespers. Mr.
Bemus will sing a solo and the Acade-

the singing. The public is invited.
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.

work by the characters was supported
by unusual beauty of scenery and
picturesqueness of costuming.
Next Sunday evening the annual

LITERARY SOCIETIES
Athenaean.
The program given before Athe-
naean Literary Society last Monday
consisted of devotionals by Chappel,
a paper on "Prison Labor in Illinois"
by Thompson, a talk on "Commerce
and Democracy" by Izumi, a discussion
of the "Desirability of the Army Can-
teen" by H. T. Kessler, and a debate
on the question: "Resolved, that riches
are a disadvantage rather than a benefit
to the ambitions young man." Hardy
and Lisk supported the affirmative and
Bush and J. B. Kessler the negative.
Zeta Epsilon.
A short but very interesting pro-
gram was rendered last Monday even-
ing. C. Wharton led in devotionals,
Brown gave a review of the news of
the week, and Higgins read "The
Death of the Gadfly." A debate fol-
lowed on the question: "Resolved,,
that fraternities are detrimental to the
welfare of Lake Forest College."
Crouch and Caswell spoke for the
affirmative and Otto and A. Hennings
for the negative.
Porter, '10, was elected to mem-
bership in the society.
All members are urged to be pres-

Officers for the spring term are to be
elected, and other important business
will be discussed.

"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
To see his tactics reproduced by her
Before the calcium glare). And then, the
dance.
A real live pony ballet, from a "real thing"

Oh ! what a hit they'd make in ''Babes in Toy-

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

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:

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 STENTOR
248
"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.

THE STENTOR
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.

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

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
Thursday, April 18.
[The following is a strong com-
mendation of the Glee Club's work at
the Waukegan concert from an old
alumnus. — Editor's Note.]
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.

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.
259
THE STENTOR
On Monday morning the Club
went to Sheldon in a special car, and
in the afternoon the gave a few
selections at the High School. For
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.

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
264
"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.

And fastened on some crepe.

The biggest I could find.

PRESIDENT-ELECT, DR. JOHN SCHOLTE NOLLEN

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 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

you cannot afford to miss this, the last

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.

THE STENTOR
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

Harvard University has raised it

"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

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.
Bookkeeping may be taught in
three words: "Never lend them."

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

At Chapel last Thursday, the Rev.
Mr. Higgins, a "Sky-Pilot" of the Wis-

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:

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

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-
ference.
1. An agreement among the
powers to spend no more money this
year than last, on armaments.
2. Arbitration for all differences
of secondary importance.
In case of differences of primary
importance, the laws of the duel shall
govern any resort to arms. If after 30
days of mediation between two neu-
tral powers, who shall act as seconds,
no peaceable settlement can be arrived
at, then let the disputants fight it out
To promote this program he de-
sires to send an embassy of twelve of
the foremost Americans to The Hague
and to this end he is endeavoring to
raise one hundred thousand dollars.

THE STENTOR
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-

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

trained athletes have a tendency to
early death from tuberculosis, heart
disease, pneumonia and the like, is
altogether erroneous. — Ex.

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-

Nearly all men of the College were
present. Mr. Crozier gave a short talk

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!

which reflect the character of that

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.

to Ohio State students at the beginning

The American International Col-

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

cusable; and that those guilty of any-

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."

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!

And his tissues will decompose ;

And that carbon and cellu lofe ;
And give me a chunk of caseine, ma,
To shorten the thermic fat.

And if the electric oven is cold,
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
with eleven points, Jones with ten, and
Westervelt with eight, winning a right
to the letters.
Summary
loo-yard Dash — McKarahan (Ar-
mour), first; Marquis (Lake Forest),
second.
Pole Vault — Ralston (Lake For-
est), first; Scott (Lake Forest), second.

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
THE STENTOR

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-

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,

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."

And shoot at the ducks as they flough.

Lake Forest was beaten by Evanston

The production of "An Academy

ters as every one starred. The Acad-

The stage built by the students, was

Ward Waters won third place in

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.

THE WORLD.
The world is too much with us; late and soonr
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers:
Little we see in Nature that is ours;
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!
This sea that bares her bosom to the moon;
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
A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;
So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea;
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.

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.
President James, of the University
of Illinois, has succeded in convincing
George Huff to return to the uni-
versitv as athletic director.

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:
Lake Forest o i ooo i oo o — 2
Monmouth o 60 6 3 o o o o — 15
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.

LaKe Forest 73, Elmhurst College 15.
While the ball team was playing
Indiana on Farwell Field, the track
team met Elmhurst College on the

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

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
THE STENTOR
3iz
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.

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.

in trying to lay out everything that it

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.

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-
emy will play Armour here.
Last week Wednesday the Acade-
my was defeated in baseball by the
University of Chicago freshmen, 12 to
2.
Durand Cott?ge still leads the
baseball league, having won six games
and lost none. It is planned to give a
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.

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

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.
Every man is the architect of his
own fortune, but he wants to keep in
with the building inspectors. — Ex.
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,
THE STENTOR
33^
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
VESPER SERVICE.
Just fifteen persons, including the
organist, speaker, choir, and janitor,
attended Vesper service Sunday after-
noon. The Rev. Mr. Quayle, of Lake

the need "of men of wisdom and of
good repute" to carry on the work of
the church todav.

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

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.

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
336
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 Westleigh cup, presented by
Mis. Swift, in May, 1905, was contested
for Tuesday afternoon by the classes
of Ferry Hall, in the third annual Field
Day. Early in the day, or, in fact,.
Monday evening, class spirit made it-
self noticeable in the hoisting of class
banners and the struggle to keep them
there. Tuesday afternoon the back
balcony was divided among the classes
in the traditional way and each section
was decorated in the class colors. Be-
side, class flags floated from the flag-
staff, the smokestack, the eaves of
Smith Hall, telephone poles, and the
roof of the Annex; and three classes
had mascots: the Juniors, Master
Benny Herschberger; Junior Preps., a

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

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 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 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

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.

BASEBALL SCHEDULE FINISHED.
Will Probably End Today.
The baseball team meets St. Igna-
tius College on Farwell Field this
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 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
the morning, living on a dollar a day
if you earn two, minding your own
business and not meddling with other
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.

Old time is still a flying;
And the same flower that smiles today,
Tomorrow will be dying.

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
to do; be strong by doing well what
you have chosen. — Osgood.

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.

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

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

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:

Mr. Hobart Chatfield Chatfield-

in the French room last Friday after-

giving a very graphic though brief
history of the dramatist's life, Mr. Tay-

THE STENTOR
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

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.

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.

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.

Medal Donald Storrs Bridgeman '07.
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

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.
THE STENTOR
373
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
374

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.
1896
The address of Alice E. Keener is
now 609 Clark street, Evanston, 111.
Rev. Gilbert L. Wilson is now set-
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.
1897.
Rev. William T. Angus, after serv-
ing as stated supply since October, was
recently installed as pastor of the
Presbyterian Church at Vandalia. This
is one of the oldest churches in that
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.
Rev. David L. Jones is now located
at Middleton, Oklahoma.
1899.
Rev. William E. Ruston, after sev-
eral years' pastorate at Farley, Iowa,
has recently gone to Coggon, in the same
state.
Bruce Campbell is practicing law
at Marianna, a lively town in the center
of the cotton district of eastern Ar-
kansas.
