RELIGION IN PROFESSIONAL
SCHOOLS.
(By Wm. J. Parker, Intercollegiate
Secretary, Chicago.)
A popular notion has it that pro
fessional students notably those In
medical schools, are wholly indifferent
if not indeod hostile to religion and
roligious organizations. To show tuat
there is no present basis for this im
pression Is to toll the story of another
association triumph. A short ten years
has witnessed tho establishment of tho
association In this class of Institutions.
Possibly tho most efficient work done
in professional schools In this country
is in Chicago. Associations are or
ganized In eighteen medical, dental,
law, technical, and theological schools.
The fifty-five hundred men in these
schools come from -all parts of the
world, large numbers of them from tho
colleges of tho middle West. Except
in the theological seminaries, there are
no gymnasiums, dormitories, chapels
or other provision whatever for the
physical, social, moral, or religious life
of students. Is it not indlcativo of the
reality of tho religion of tho Christian
students that over seven hundred of
them should voluntarily becomo mem
bers of the associations in their respec
tive schools and assoclato their efforts
to supply theso, needs?

The activities are similar to those

courses are taught by student leaders.
Mission study classes and groups for
prayer and personal work are includ
ed in the distinctively roligious work.
Several faculties havo granted quar
ters in their college buildings, which
are equipped as parlors, reading roomB,
or gymnasiums as local requirements
dictate. One of the associations occu
pies a self-sustaining club house that
provides opportunity for informal re
ceptions and stimulates good fellow
ship Among their practical philanthoples
tho associations Include the publica
tion of handbooks, the maintenance of
information and employment bureaus,
tho proparatlo of boarding house lists
and those other kindnesses that new
students appreciate.
The work of five of tho associations
has grown to such magnitude as to re
qulro tho employment of general sec
retaries for each of them for next year.
All theso eighteen asoclatlons are
federated Into what is known as the
student department of tho Chicago
administration of which is committed
to a board representative of all the
branches. This board through a sec
retary supervises the entire system In
the city, and directly manages all mat
ters of an Intercollegiate nature.
In conclusion It needs to bo said
that New York, Philadelphia, Bos
ton, Baltimore, Toronto, and Cleveland
all havo Blmilar student departments
connected with tho metropolitan asso
ciations of thoso cities, tho efficiency
of which in changing tho morals of tho
student body has called forth' highest
praise .from the faculties and other observers.
YESTERDAY S MASS MEETING.
Chancellor Andrews addressed a
mass meeting of young men In tho uni
versity auditorium yesterday after
noon. -io spoko on tho subject of col
lego and class spirit arid'. hlB -reraarke
wore enthusiastically received by uib
audience.
Ho said that ho had experienced
some difficulty in getting acquainted
with tiio young men since coming to
tno university. "I feel the power of
young mon. If I havo tlio young men
of tho university on my sido I can do
everything, if not, I can do nothing.
There aro somethings about you that
I do not liko and It is tho purpose of
this meeting to speak of some of these
things."
Ho spoke first of tho beauty of the
university grounds. They ought to be
more beautiful but they aro tho best
wo can get and wo must put up with
them. Ho urged everyone, present to
uso his Influence 'to keep the groundB
in as good shapo as possible.
He next called attention to the reel
ing of the people of the state In regard
to law and order in tho university.
He spoke of the outbreak last spring
against tho authorities of tho city and
said that nothing could damage tho
unnverslty moro than an occurrence
like that. He said that he hoped the
young men would not bo estrayed by
the outburst of joy over a baseball vic
tory into doing anything to break law
and order.
He likes to see manhood shown as it
was manifested by oiu of our students
who camo down with tho small-pox
and went to tho pest house. On the
day he was released tho cook was
taken sick and this young man staid
and cooked the food for the inmates.
He Bald that was one 01 the noblest
acts that had come under his observation.
!'If there is a disposition to break
law and' order again as Inhere wad last
spring, I would help tho polico against
you. 'Tho fact that the police had
done something wrong would not
change him.
Ho also spoke at length on class
scraps and asked the cooperation ol al.
present against the spirit of hoodlum
Ism that has manifested Itself this
spring In the outbreak of spirit of ono
class to lnterfero with tho civil right
of members of another class. "I don't
care if you aro all against mo,, that
thing is not right, it is immoral. When
four or five men pounce upon ono man
they may not be cowards but they aro
doing a cowardly act. Such things are
not done in tho best universities.
Dueling in the German schools Is re
spectable compared with a gang of
men pouncing on ono man. Such class
spirit is dying out in the best univer
sities and I hope to God it will dio out
here."
Tho chancellor also spoko of tho
Rlchener meetings and deplored tho
fact that any ono outside tho univer
sity should havo to speak of such'
things to tho university students. Ho
spoke of tho social vlco and urged any
young man In need of help or advice
to como to him privately, in closing,
ho said, "I want to help tho students
of this university in any way I can
and I ask in return tho cooperation of
all students In theso matters."
