New University Year Begun at Lake Forest.

With a large number of new students ready

to begin their course at Lake Forest, and with

nearly all the old students hack in their accus-

tomed places the new college year began at

Lake Forest University, Sept. 18. Prospects

for a successful year were never more numer-ous at the opening, and all things promise to

make the coming nine months the most nota-

ble in the history of the University.

All three of the Lake Forest departments re-

port an increase in attendance. The faculties,

too, have been added to, and consequentlynothing but the best results ma) - be expected.

Two new professors have come to the Col-

lege. The}' are Professor Martin D. Atkins,

who has taken up the work in physics and chem-istry, and Professor Henry Barrett Hinckley,

who is the new assistant in English.

Professor Atkins is the son of a Methodistclergyman, and was born at Saybrook, Ohio.

He prepared himself for college at the GeneseeWesleyan Seminary, Lima, X. Y. He gradua-ted from the University of Michigan in '8(5, andafter graduating taught in Geneva, X. Y., andat the Jefferson High School, Chicago. Thenhe took a year of work at Strassburg, Germany,under Dr. Kohlrausch. Last year he returnedand resumed the principalship of the Jefferson

High school, resigning" to take the position

offered him at Lake Forest.

Henry Barrett Hinckley, M. A., was born at

Northampton, Mass., and is a New Knglander.After a preparatory course at Waltham, Mass.,

and Lyme, Conn., he entered Yale Universityand graduated in '92. Following this he tooka graduate course of three years at Harvard,devoting" himself during" this time to philolo-

gy and literature.

In Lake Forest Academy no changes in the

faculty were made, and the same teaching"

force is at the helm.Miss Mary Stevens Ayres, a graduate of

Wellesley, and for some years an instructor at

F)astern seminaries and at Leland Stanford,

Jr. University, heads the new chair of physicalculture at Ferry Hall Seminary, and is arous-

ing great enthusiasm among the girls. MissIda Street, who graduated at Vassar College,

and then took a graduate course at Ann Arbor,takes Miss Luc}- Smith's place as instructor in

History and English Literature. Miss Street

comes from Des Moines, Iowa. Miss Smithwas unable to remain this year on account of

illness.

The Ferry Hall art department has beencompletel)- reorganized, and is this year oneof the most important special departments of

the Seminary. Miss Lillian Cushman of theChicago Art Institute is the art instructor.

Appended here is a list of all the new stu-

dents in all departments at Lake Forest:

THE STORY OF A GUN.

When a certain student took a train from his

Hoosier home to Lake Forest, he considered

himself well equipped for anything that the

course of human events might bring with it

while he was in attendance at college. Amongother things he carried a six-shooter, a cornet

and a violin. Just at present he has a poor

opinion of the inhabitants of this mortal vale,

and especially of those who make their head-

quarters at the spot designated as Lake Forest

upon the map.It is a rule that all men who are fresh must

go under the pump for a drenching, but this

man did not intend to go. So he cocked his

gun, used forcible, though inelegant language,

and shot out ofrthe window.Lake Forest students, however, are invinci-

ble, as this gentleman later learned, andThursday evening he was overpowered andhis gun taken from him. Then the Mitchell

Hall pump was brought into use. Next the

cornet and violin were employed, and after a

concert, cigars and an apology assisted in

straightening out complications.

The moral of this story (which by the way is

a good one) is that guns and threats to "shoot

to the heart" and "fill with ice-cold lead" are

not fashionable in Lake Forest College, andthat even a fortification with canons in the

College building cannot save a man from the

inevitable pump.

THK STKXTOR.

AT HYMEN'S ALTAR.

Unlike college students Cupid never seemsto take a vacation during the summer months,and as a result The STENTOE has a number of

weddings 'Which -directly interest Lake Forest

to record in its opening' issue this year.

Professor Albert Elmer Jack, head cf the de-

partment of English, and Miss Grace AthleneStanle3r were united in marriage Tuesday,Sept. 17, the day previous to the opening of

school. Rev. Dr. McClure performed the cere-

mony at the home of Mrs. Stanley, the motherof the bride, in Lake Forest, at (',::-!() o'clock.

The bridesmaids were Miss Mar3* Stanley,

Miss Grace Reid, Miss Lily Ward and MissGallwey. Mr. Thee dire Stanley was best

man. Miss Harriet Durand played the wed-ding march. The alcove window in the sit-

ting-room was hung with cinnamon vine andbanked with palms for the bridal bowe". Smi-lax, maiden-hair fern, roses and autumn wild

flowers were the house decorations. The bride

wore white satin and carried maiden-hairferns.

During the evening there was a wedding re-

ception after which Mr. and Mrs. Jack departedfor Cambridge, Mass., where Mr. Jack will take

a graduate course of one year. Upon his

return he will resume his work in the College.

Miss Stanle3' is a graduate of the College as

well as Professor Jack, and is a sister of

Librarian Hiram Stanley.* *

*

Professor A. G. Fradenburgh, of the depart-

ment of Political and Social Science, went to

Meadville, Pa., as soon as he had completedhis work last June. There he was married to

Miss Julia FMsen, one of the brightest young-men of Meadville. The wedding- took place

June 18, and Rev. D. H. Wheeler, president of

Allegheny College, performed the ceremon)'.

Mr. and Mrs. Fradenburgh made a wedding-tour through the state of New York and thenreturned to Lake Forest.

Mrs. Fradenburgh is a graduate of Alle-

gheny College, of Meadville, and it was there

that she met her husband.* , *

Leland H. Gilleland, a graduate of the Aead-em3' and last year a freshman in the College,was married to Miss Katherine Parkhurst,daughter of the Rev. M. M. Parkhurst, of

Kvanston, and an old Fen jr Hall student dur-ing- the summer. The Re.'. Hunsberger, of

Milwaukee, performed the ceremony. Mr. andMrs. Gilleland have gone to California to live.

William H. Matthews of the class of '92 wasunited in marriage with one of the most esti-

mable young women of Englewood on July (•

G. W. Wright was best man and W. E. Dan-forth and Fred Skinner, all Lake Forest

alumni, were the ushers at the wedding, whileS. K. Gruenstein played the wedding march.Mr. Mathews is practicing law in the city, 1ml

at the same time is attending McCormick Sem-inary with the intention of entering the min-istry.

Robert Burchell, once of the Academy, andMiss Vinnie Gilleland were also married in

Aug-ust, and have taken up house-keeping in

Chicago..

FIRST RECEPTION OF THE YEAR.

Notwithstanding' threatening weather, the

parlors of the Presbyterian church were tilled

to overflowing- at the annual Y. M. C. A. recep-

tion given on Thursda3' evening- of last week.

Heretofore the reception has been at the Art

Institute, but this year an invitation to havethis social event held in the church parlors

was accepted by the organization, and old andyoung vied with each other to help make mer-

ry, and to insure the success in every way of

this, the first reception in the school 3-ear.

R. L. Roberts, as president of the Christian

association, in a few well-chosen words wel-

comed all present, and then introduced Miss

Rosalind Brown, who added in no small wayto the pleasure of the evening- with a vocal

solo. Later Miss Lita Stoddard favored those

present with a declamation and elicited muchapplause by her able rendition. A quartet

from the Academy, and n trio from Mitchell

Hall gave selections which were heartily ap-

plauded, while Mr. Anderson charmed all

present with a guitar solo. During the even-

ing the doors were thrown open and manypassed into the auditorium of the church to

hear Mr. Gruenstein give several well-selected

solos on the organ.Dainty refreshments, 3-et more daintily serv-

ed, helped to "break the ice" and start conver-

sation between bashful youths and maidens.

Dr. McClure, by his genial presence and kind-

ly words of welcome, made alii with whom he

came in contact feel at home. Many who left

late in the evening were unaware of the heavy-

shower which had come up and then so provi-

dential^- cleared astray.

Altogether, the reception of '95 maybe truth-

fully said to have been the most pleasant andsuccessful affair of its kind ever held in LakeForest.

WE ask the indulgence of our readers in the

delay of the first issue of The Stextor, as out-

new presses and type were not set up in timeto publish the firs; number last week. Weshall endeavor to have the paper out on timehereafter, but in order to do so all copy mustbe handed in on time.

The Stextor is fortunate in securing theservices of Mr. S. E. Gruenstein as associateeditor. His experience in newspaper work,and his successful management of the Com-mencement Bulletin proves his eminent fitness

for taking charge of the news department of

The Stextor.

We congratulate the new students on their

selection of Lake Forest University as theiralma mater. Already they feel the cordialwelcome which Lake Forest extends to all whoenter her halls. Here the new student will

find a spirit of loyalty and good fellowshipwhich lie cannot help but imbibe, and thusbecome a stanch defender of his chosen uni-

versity. There are large opportunities for thenew student to distinguish himself in his col-

lege life, and in no way can he gain recogni-tion so surely as in showing himself to be in-

terested in whatever concerns the college.

College men are quick to discover true worth,

and are ever ready to recognize the elementsthat contribute to the making up of a true col-

lege man.

A PLEASANT surprise awaited the studentson their return this fall when the freshness

and beauty of Lake Forest greeted their eyes.

The hand of the city authorities has also vied

with nature in beautifying the city, as may beattested by the erection of two fine carriage

bridges, and many other improvements that

have been going on during the summer. TheStextor congratulates the mayor and council

on the work that has been accomplished. Weregret the appearance of a statement criticis-

ing the city authorities found in the local

department of The Stextor last spring. Wewill say by way of explanation that the said

statement escaped our notice entirely, whichpiece of carelesness places The Stextor in a

false position. We hope this explanation will

convince the authorities that THE STEXTOR is in

heart}- sympathy with the mayor and council

in their efforts to make Lake Forest an ideal

college and residence city.

Ix LOOKING over the college exchangeswhich have come to our table we are pleased

with the changes and decided improvementsthat are revealed in many of them. Westerncollege journalism is bound to make a namefor itself if present indications count for any-

thing. Some of the best features of modernjournalism are being adopted in the college

paper, and the journal that is to command the

respect of the college community must be live,

progressive and practical, made up of short,

original stories, poems and brief, pointed say-

ings and jokes illustrative of college life. Alsothe aim of the college journal should be

to furnish the news and thoughts of the stud-

ent bodj- that will best represent the life of the

college. The college journal should ever beforemost in raising its voice to correct abusesand assist in helping to overthrow stale con-

servatism; but it should never be a party to

petty squabbles or selfish partisanship, norpermit itself to be used as a club by one whohas a grievance. Cranks and kickers have noplace in the ranks of college journalism. Mod-ern college thought demands broad-minded-ness and progressiveness. It is this spirit that

we welcome in the college journals this year.

May it ever increase. That The STEXTOR maybe in the first ranks of college journalism is

our hope and aim.

THK STENTOR.

When an appeal was made this last week to a

resident of Lake Forest for funds to provide

the football team with a SPLENDID COACH, the

solicitor was almost overcome by the reply:

"Well, I don't see why just an ordinary wagonisn't good enoiigh for the players to ride in."

C. J. Hannant, after summering in Iowa, es-

sayed an excursion Lake Forestward "awheel."

All went smoothly until he was but ten miles

from this city, when the wheel struck and re-

fused carriage further. C. J. therefore walked

the remainder of the journey, arriving in "dew"season.

Residents and students now breath easier

that the city is so well protected against fire.

Two companies have been formed amongthe young men of the town, captained by Fred

Wenban and \V. L. Taylor. Thursday a few of

the students at Professor Halsey's request metat his house, and a company was organized,

composed of the college students. Marion

Woolsey is captain and those under him are:

A.O.Jackson, W. Jaeger, J. H. Rheingans, R.

O. Stoops, W. J. Rice, H. B. Cragin and H.

Moore. The hose cart is to be kept in Dr.

Coulter's barn, and telephone connection with

the other companies at Wenban's livery stable

is to be established. Frequent drills will be

held, and each man will have his place in the

ranks of the fire-fighters.

ACADEMY.Proctor, a new Academy man from Lewis-

town, 111., went home sick, being homesick.

Pumping new fellows is now a thing of the

past. Principal Smith gave out an edict onthe subject early in the year.

Professor Truesdale has returned. He in-

vested in a razor during the summer, it is al-

leged, though on what grounds is not stated.

The first football game of the season occurstomorrow afternoon at Waukegan with the

Waukegan High School eleven as the Acad-emy's opponents.

New members were chosen into the GammaSigma and Tri Kappa societies last Wednes-day. Soon, the)' say, the new men will be givena ride, Mrs. Johnson's goat being in excellent

health.

Miss Fannie Mack, who so ably superin-

tended operations in the Fast Dormitory part

of last year is now matron at the Annie DurandCottage, while Miss Bouton, formerly of the

Alcott School, has taken her place in EastDormitory.

Guthries, a new student, who is a cousin of

Professor Williams, was hurt in a practicefootball game Thursday evening. His bodywas badly bruised and his left eye injured, buthe is expected to be out again in a short time.

Thord Ewing, who expected to return to theAcadeni3 , is seriously ill with typhoid fever

at Alban}-, N. Y. It is hoped that he may rap-

idly recover, and in that case he will return to

Lake Forest after the Christmas holidays.

The faeult)' will act upon thirty or more ap-

plications for senior privileges from various

students in the near future. Another matterbefore the facult)- is the granting of the con-

tract for furnishing smoke consumers to newmen.

Manager Kyle of the Academy football elev-

en reports some difficulty in making dates for

games this year. This is due to the reputation

as a sure winner which the Cad team made for

itself last fall. The team promises to be a goodone again and enthusiasm runs high as usual.

Captain Miller has about twenty candidates onthe field every afternoon.

Dr. W. F. Palmer has his face wreathed in

Ciceronian smiles this year. The reason for

all this is that down in Ohio he became the

father of a bran new son, who is reported,

though only four weeks old, to weigh over ten

pounds and to be reading Virgil this week.

Mrs. Palmer and the baby are getting alongsplendidly and are expected back in Lake For-

est soon.

FERRY HALL.

Ferry Hall has an extraordinarily large at-

tendance of girls this fall.

An unusual enthusiasm for work seems to

predominate in the seminary.

Miss Satie Harris, '95, spent Saturday, Sep-

tember 21, with Miss Gertrude Pate.

The many friends of Miss Frances Utley, of

the class of '95, will regret to hear of the deathof her father, which occurred September 15 at

his home in Dixon.

Friday evening's serenade brought backpleasant memories to old girls and showed the

new ones how Ferry Hall is favored in that

line. The solos by the "unknown" were spe-

cial features.

A Ferr)' Hall Athletic Association will prob-

ably be formed soon, and basket-ball has beensuggested as a winter sport. An excellent

tennis court has been laid out at the rear of

the building, where good playing is going on

THK STEXTOR.

The senior class has been organized withMiss Rose Hogan as president and Miss Cal-

houn as secretary. Their first meeting wasthe opening event of the season of feasts. Twoof the largest watenr e'ons to be found quicklydisappeared before those twelve dignified sen-

iors and the whole closed with a parade andthe class 3-ell.

Miss Sargent has been in Lake Forest for the

past few weeks, after spending a pleasant andrestful vacation in the East. Two of the fac-

ulty have been studying during the summer

—

Miss Sizer in Bay View and Miss Taylor at

Madison. Miss Maxwell has been instructor

of German at a summer school in Indiana.

Misses Hull, Ripley, Taylor and Goodwin haveenjoyed a rest at their homes. Miss Flemingspent a month in the woods of Michigan.Professor Eager and Madame Meyer have bothbeen at the seashore. All, however, returned

THE STKNTOR.

University Sunday Services.

University Sunday was celebrated Sept. 22. It

was the first Sunday of the school year and the

services of the day were especially interesting

for the students. President Coulter preached

in the forenoon on 'The Student Purpose."

Herewith is presented a brief synopsis of

what he said:

"There are two wiclelj' separated views of edu-

cation which may be styled the idealistic andthe utilitarian. The one claims that education

should deal with those finer qualities of mindand soul which may be brought into a powerof appreciation, a process often spoken of as

"enlargement of the mind." The other says

that such an education has no market value,

and as every one must be put in the way of

maintaining himself in honest independence,

the practical necessities must take precedence

of the intellectual. In the old universities the

association of intellectual development andpoverty was recognized, and he who was ambi-tious to be learned must be content to be poor.

"These two views of education fairly repre-

sent current opinion, and educational institu-

tions have been planned to express them both.

The result has been two streams of educa-

tional product, the one equipped to think andfeel, the other to work in material things, andeach underrating the other. If the highestpart of the structure of man commanded finan-

cially its real worth to human progress there

would be but one thaory of education; as it

does not, the dividing line is struck at oncebetween things as the}' are and as they oughtto be; and the devotees of the one are in dan-ger of ignorance, and of the other in dangerof starvation. The demand today is for a com-bination of the two ideas in individuals and in

institutions.

"The chief duty of eveiw human being is to

become the best citizen possible. Ke does this

by making the most of himself and 1)3" givinghimself to the advancement of his race. If heneglect either pari of this he is-blind either to

the indications of his own structure or of hisenvironment. Scholarship is inclined to beexclusive; material success is apt to discountscholarship. The tiling that seems best in

education, therefore, in the existing conditionof things, is to so combine the intellectualwith the material that there may lie mutualrespect and helpfulness. It is certain that if

.education is to lie effective it must concern it-

self with the existing condition of things."If von have no clear idea as to the purpose

of your education, or as to what you have a

right to expect in return for your effort, j-ou

are without the most inspiring motive. Aim-lessness of purpose, that somehow one will getthe things he wishes later on, crucifies legiti-

mate purpose. Various false incentives are

apt to be current in the absence of a genuine'purpose. It is not at all necessary that the

specific life-work be chosen, for often circum-stances rather than desire may determine that;

hut the purpose of education in general shouldbe understood and kept steadily in view. Thechief purpose, as witnessed by eolleg-e equip-

ment and expenditure, is intellectual develop-ment, with physical and spiritual culture as

necessary, but secondary accompaniments.To keep the intellectual purpose steadily in

view is no small task in the colleg-es of todaywith their tremendous elaboration of outsideinterests. It is a magnificent training- of itself,

and he who holds steadily to this thread of

purpose in the midst of university distractions

is in no great danger of losing- his head in

later years. The intellectual result of a col-

lege course should be a habit of mind whichcan see and draw a conclusion independentlyand accurately, and such power comes onlybypersistent effort. You have came into a tre-i

mendous heritage of opportunity, perhaps sorich that it is perplexing-, and certainly is tak-

ing- our educational systems to make profita-

ble. The aggreg-ate wisdom and experience of

centuries are at your command, and althoughmuch of the old has been abandoned the re-

cent has risen upon it to greater heights.

"The intellectual training- is demanded by outstudents, whose purpose we should defeatwere we to rest content with stunted intellec-

tual development. If cultivation of mentalpowers he not demanded, we need never haverisen superior to the intellig'ent brutes; andyet, tiie rewards of such development still lie

largely in the joy of possession. It seems like

clipping the wings of an eagle to associate

education with income, but stern necessityknows no sentiment, and while urging the

highest reaches of intellectual developmentstill demands that it be such as the world de-

mands and will pay, for, My thought is that

college training must not lead to a universal

attempt at purely intellectual living, or even

THE STKNTOR.

to what have been st37led the "learned profes-

sions." Let aptitude determine that. Hut its

mission must he to dignify every honorablecalling- in life, to bring' to men capacity for

higher enjoyment and usefulness, to sendforth intellectual desires broadcast rather

than to retain them as the possession of a

favored few. Incalculable injury has beendone to inviduals and to society by the idea

that a college training should withdraw its re-

cipients from all but a few of the callings

which are necessary. These few professions

have already a host of incompetents strug-

gling about their outskirts, who are abun-dantly fitted for other equally honorable anduseful callings into which they might carry

the fine flavor of an intellectual life, not to belost, but to be made immensely useful. In

every college there are students who are mis-

led by friends or their own ambition into

thinking- that a college course must fit themfor one of the so-called "learned professions."

When it is claimed that college training- is

responsible for the prevailing- discontent

which has caused a stampede to the "learned

professions," I would claim that it is duerather to false conceptions, outside of the col-

lege, concerning- what is honorable; and that

it is one of the missions of the college to cor-

rect this discontent, to place a true estimate

upon the worth of work in every honest call-

ing-, and to bring that intellectuality into all

living which will make all professions equally

honorable and equally "learned."

"Intellectual domination is coming- upon us

so rapidly that the g-eneral preparation neces-

sary for the fierce competition and intricate

relations of the civilization just before us will

be far g-reater than formerly. Once a commonschool education was the general preparation;

later the level of general need rose to the highschool and academy; now it is rising into the

college, and I am confident that presently

those without a college education will be

placed in the same category as were those

without a common school education in the

days of our fathers. The time of preparationfor useful activity will be continually length-

ened, but such is the price we-mustpay for ourprogress. Young- men and young women whoare wise in their day and generation will see to

it that thej- are prepared for the demands of

the new future. The existing demand is that

this intellectual training- shall not sweep us off

our material feet, but shall tit us to do morevaluable service in ever}7 honest calling.

"There can be no qtiestion but that intellectual

development makes a deep impression uponone's spiritual nature. New surroundings andintellectual progress are potent factors in mod-ifying beliefs, and your spiritual fiber lias

become unusually rigid if you do not exper-ience those deep questionings which run at

least as an undercurrent through most lives.

It is not for me or for an3rone to say what youmust believe; that is your own prerogative.

You must fight the battle of the soul for your-self; but I must warn you that most of yourtroubles will come from half-truths which youare taking- to represent the whole. Remember3

rour own limitations in knowledge, in exper-

ience, and be fair with yourselves and the sub-ject you are considering. "Depend upon it

that in all long-established practices or spir-

itual formulas there has been some living-

truth, and if you have not discovered andlearned to respect it, you do not yet understandthe questions you are in a hurry to solve."

The great mass of civilized mankind believes

that Jesus Christ is the most perfect exampleof spiritual development that has been broughtto our notice; a very, veryr large following- also

believe that they have found in him a Saviour.

You can hardly escape believing the first, amiit is my7 earnest hope that y

7ou may also be-

lieve and experience the second."

THE WAY TO FERRY HALL.

"Will you kindly direct me to Ferry Hall?"

asked a stranger of a resident of Lake Forest"1 would go with you and point out the wayif I were not going to catch a train," said the

resident, "but if you will follow my directions

you will get there all right. Well, go straight

that way7 for about three blocks, then curve to

your right for a block, then to your left for

another block, then to your right for another,

then y7ou'll see a bridge; cross it and keep on,

swerving a little to the right all the time for

about a block, then turn to your left and cross

;mother bridge, then go on diagonally to yourright for about a block, then turn to your left,

curving slightly to the right for about twoblocks; but I forgot to say that there's anotherbridge in this last stretch; then turn to theright and go one block, at the end of which is

another bridge, and there on your left as youcross this bridge is the seminary." The resi-

dent smiled furtively as he saw the strangermop his fervid brow with spasmodic energyas each new point of direction was enumer-ated. He said nothing, however, and as thevisitor clasped his hand with a hearty "Verymuch obliged to you, I am sure," said, "Not at

all, sir; not at all. I'm used to it. Glad In heof service to you, sir. Good day, sir."

FIRST SUMMER SESSION.

The doors of the College were opened for a

summer session the first time in the history of

Lake Forest Universitj-, June 18, and closed

August 10, covering a period of about eight

weeks. Thirty students were enrolled, andcarried on regular or special work with a zest

and earnestness that would be hard to equal

in the regular College year. Excellent courses

were offered in the sciences, mathematics, lit-

erature, and the modern languages. The in-

struction was carried on by members of the

College faculty, who sacrificed the pleasures

of a vacation in order to make the experimenta success.

That the session was a success may be judg-

ed by the character and amount of the workdone. Most of the students accomplishedwork sufficient to entitle them to two credits,

or one-third of an ordinary years work in col-

lege, and those in charge of the session speakhighly of the work clone by the students.

The rare advantages for a summer session

in Lake Forest were thoroughly appreciatedby the students who enjoyed the opportunitiesfor study and lesearch under the instruction

of members of the College faculty.

Following the summer school was a session

of four weeks of nature study classes for chil-

dren, and a ladies' botanical class. The enroll-

ment in these classes was forty-five. The workin the ladies' class consisted of a study of flow-

ers in their adaptations for securing' crossfer-

tilization by irsects—a course which proved of
