Dartmouth College Opens Up New Field by Establishing a School
of Administration and Finance, a Graduate Departmentln-
tended to Train College Men for Active Affairs.
HANOVER, N. H, Nov. 22. Perhape
the roost notable experiment among those
now being: made la fitting: college men for
business -was begun this year In the open
ing of the Amos Tuck School of Admin
istration and Finance as a graduate de
partment of Dartmouth College. Its name
administration and finance indicates
its scope. It Is founded to train young
men In the broad principles governing the
great modern businesses, not to fit them
definitely for definite positions, but to
bring them intellectually in touch -with
the great problems -which are involved in
business control and extension, and to
send them out into the world with that
invaluable "right point of view" which
ought to be worth half the battle.
The Tuck School -was founded In mem
ory of the late Amos Tuck, of Mew
Hampshire, by the generosity of his son,
Mr. Edward Tuck, of Paris, -who turned
over to the college, last Spring, securities
amounting to $300,000. Mr. Tuck is a
graduate of Dartmouth in the class of
1S62, and is a collegemate, therefore, of
President Tucker. He began life in the
diplomatic service in the American Le
gation in Paris; later, for a considerable
time, he "was a member of the Franco
American banking house of Monroe & Co.
Since his retirement from active partici
pation in that buslnesss, he has been con
nected with various enterprises In this
country. He Is one of the directors of the
Chase National Bank, of New York, and
a large holder of tho stock of the Great
Northern Hallway.
Amos Tack.
His father, Amos Tuck, was a typical
son of the Granite State. He was one of
the most prominent figures in the polit
ical history of New Hampshire and New
England during the early part of the anti-slavery
conflict. He was one of the
original members of the Free Soil party,
a staunch supporter of John P. Hale in
his contest with Franklin Pierce, and in
timately associated with men like Joshua
R. Glddlngs and Thaddeus Stevens. For
six years he was a member of Congress,
and during that time he was one of the
Teally intimate friends of Mr. Lincoln,
their friendship continuing to the end.
.Leaving Congress, he resumed the prac
tice of law in Exeter. He was a man
noted for his resolute courage in difficult
political situations. He was a graduate
of Dartmouth in the class of 1S35, and a
trustee of the college from 1S57 to 1S6G.
Hanover, the seat of Dartmouth Col
lege, is a quiet New Hampshire town and
distant from any great city, but the Tuck
School has been able to count on the in
terest of financiers and leaders of greit
businesses in the most important com
mercial centers In the country, from New
York and Boston to Chicago and St. Paul,
appealing to the broad-minded business
man everywhere, whether graduated
from Dartmouth or any other college-, or
"whether he "worked up" to his present
position In the usual way. For such a
school would mean, if it Is successful and
the example of Dartmouth is followed
in other American college centers, that
the American business man of the future,
while not lacking in the force and special
knowledge of his predecessor, is to have
a wider culture, a broader outlook and a
sounder knowledge of the principles
which He at the base of commercial af
fairs. Established' on Broad Basts.
In making up the curriculum, the Dart
mouth authorities tried to put themselves
In the place of the college graduate who,
like so many of his class nowadays, has
determined not to enter a profession, but
to engage actively in affairs. They real
ized that a graduate school should not
and could not be a "commercial college";
that It must present not so much details
aa principles; and that these principles
nraet be based not only on the general
culture of a college education, but on a
special study of finance, economics, his
tory, law and politics. They realized that
the young man leaving such a school
must be prepared, not for mere clerkship
which was a matter of practical train
ingbut for a position of responsibility
and control, and knowing that In such
a postltlon a man's outlook must be of
tho widest, thej made up the two years'
course which was begun in September
with the formal opening of the now
school.
It was their aim, to quote the carefully
prepared announcement which was given
last Summer, "to prepare men in those
fundamental principles which determine
the conduct of affairs, and to give specific
Instruction In the common law and the
laws pertaining to property. In the man
agement of trusts and Investments, In the
problems of taxation and currency, prac
tical banking and transportation, in the
methods of corporate and municipal ad
ministration, in the growth and present
status of tho foreign commerce of the
United States, and in the rules governing
the civil and consular service.
"Tho attempt will bo made to insure to
college graduates who have in view ad
mlnlstratH e or financial careers, the prep
aration equivalent in Its purpose to that
obtained In the professional or technical
schools. The training of the school Is
not designed to take the place of an ap
prenticeship In any given business, but
it Is believed that the same amount of
academic training Is called for under tho
enlarged demands of business as for the
professions or for tho productive Indus
tries." A Graduate School.
The greatest care was taken to make
the first entering class, however small It
might be, & body of serious, studious, de
termined young men, who should reflect
credit, when they went out Into life, on
the Institution from -much they had
come. Too much stress cannot be laid
on tho fact that the Tuck School Is a
graduate school, with two years of In
struction following a thorough college
preparation. To enter It a student must
have recehed a degree from a college of
recognized standard. The only exception
is that seniors In Dartmouth of proved
ability who have, taken the .proper pre
paratory courses In their first three years
In tho college, may select the first year in
the Tuck School, in place of the fourth
jear In the college, receiving the A. B.
degree at the end of that year and the
Tuck certificate a year later.
Students from other colleges entering
th
senior ear at Dartmouth, in order
to avail themselves of this privilege, must
present with their certificate of transfer
a record of their standing, so that they
may show themselves equally capable
with tho regular Dartmouth men who
have been allowed to enter the school.
Special students will be received with cau
tion, and only on proving fitness for the
partlculer courses they desire to take up.
It Is interesting to note the novel stand
point of even the general courses "which
have been adopted for the Tuck School.
The first year's history Includes a review
of the geography of Europe, followed by
the political history of the Continent from
the French Revolution down to 1S7S.
This If followed by a similar course deal
ing In essentially the same way with the
political history of the United States.
In the second year the modern history
course consists of lectures on the political
history of the South American and Cen
tral American States, Mexico and the
English colonies: and, under the direction
of the Instructor, the students -will con
struct the political history of Europe since
JS7S and of the United States since 1S77.
Next in order will come a study of di
plomacy, dealing "with the origin and the
evolution of modern diplomacy, the qual
ifications and methods of typical modern
diplomats, the course of certain note
worthy negotiations, from the Congress
of Vienna to the Venezuela case, includ
ing the evolution and history of the Mon
roe doctrine; the organization of Ameri
can and foreign diplomatic and consular
services, and the duties laid down by the
United States Government for its agents
in foreign countries.
There is nothing like this course in
diplomacy in the curriculum of any other
Amercian college. President Tucker has
expressed publicly, in a much-quoted ad
dress, his hope for better-trained men in
our public service, and this new course
at Dartmouth may be taken as his con
tribution to the solution of a problem
BOY WARRIOR OF
TRIBAL TYTE OF ISLAND
that has long troubled the critics of
American institutions.
Another most Interesting course in the
Tuck school gives the history of Ameri
can Industrial development. Including the
development of the great manufacturing
Industries, the growth of corporations,
trusts and monopolies; the history and
problem of transportation; stock and
produce exchanges; the relations of capi
tal ard labor and the effect of modern
methods of business on producer and '
consumer. The courses In sociology are
especially noteworthy, Including anthro
pological geography, social statistics and
applied sociology denography and social
Institutions.
Dencgraphy. for example, Is the study
of the population, or the units of all
forms of social life. It involves the
economic value of the various nations
and peoples as producers and consumers
of commodities, and includes the study
of the different groups or classes into
which population tends to falL
Social Conditions.
The course dealing with social Insti
tutions, on the other hand, treats the
psychology of the forms of associated
life, velwlng human Institutions as an ex
pression of the spiritual life of' the peo
ple. In this connection, an attempt Is
made to Interpret sympathetically trade
mlonlsm, mass and class feeling and all
important group aspirations and rivalries.
Other course which must obviously be
Included In a curriculum like that of tho
Tuck school relate to banking and Invest
ment, and to public finance. In the depart
ment of finance; and in the depart
ment of transportation, transportation It
self, the foreign commerce of the United
States and International trade relations.
Tho founding of the Tuck School at
once brings to Dartmouth broader con
nections with active life. The curriculum
will be strengthened by the Introduction
of non-resident lecturers, who will con
duct courses in banking. Investments,
accounting. Insurance, municipal organi
zation, the legal conditions of Inter
national trade and other related subjects.
A particularly interesting visitor will
be Mr. Robert A. "Woods, of Boston, who
ha? acquired a National reputation as a
sociologist and a student of the problems
of city government. Ho has been en
gaged to deliver a series of lectures dur
ing the course of the year upon the sub
ject of municipal organization. The de
velopment of municipal policy will be
traced with retard both to the forms and
the alms of municipal government. The
town meeting, the town council, the city
system, tho metropolitan administration
wi-i be considered both theoretically and
In their practical operation.
Mr. Woods will discuss also the causes
of municipal corruption, especially as
found In economic conditions, and will
trace the relation between municipal re
form and social reform in general.
FROM HEAD TO FOOT.
Permit me to make a few suggestions
relative to our evening dress that are
well to remember and not wise to forget.
The time has arrived for mortal man to
turn aside pleasant thoughts of neglige
and look to his broadcloth and fine linen.
In smart society the term "evening
dress" Is the correct one, never "full
dress." The coat and waistcoat should
be made of fine, unfinished worsteds and
worsted vicunas, with trousers made of
the same material, but It Is well to have
them cut from cloth a trifle heavier than
that used for coat and waistcoat. The
tails of dress coats, this season, are of
medium length, barely reaching down to

the knees, and with the corners slightly
rounded off. The upper part of the coat
fits negligently, but Is shaped in snugly at
the waist with shoulders well worked
out, so as to produce as near as possible
a military effect. It Is customary for
the garment to have peaked lapels which
are faced to the edge with corded silk.
The waistcoat, when made of the same
material as the coat. Is single-breasted;
If double-breasted, it should then be
made of white linen lawn or white mar
cello. The trousers for the man of av
erage figure, measure about 19 inches
around the knee, and IS inches at the
Instep. Tho outer seam may either be
plain or with narrow Russian braid.
The linen for evening dress is most sim
ple and of the best quality. A wide
bosom coat shirt, with cuffs attached,
and showing three stud holes, is the
"proper thing." A coat shirt is one that
opens all the way down the front. This
particular kind of shirt is easily slipped
on. It never wrinkles the temper and. In
turn, one never wrinkles the shirt bosom.
Then again, a man may arrange his hair'
and slip into this shirt without disar
ranging his hair In the least.
A straight, stick-up collar, meeting, but
not overlapping; or a rather high collar,
barely meeting In the front and with

the points slightly rolled out, are the
only correct styles for evening dress
wear.
The cravat must be of white lawn. In
size to fit the collar, in shape either an
agee, a bat's wing or butterfly, and tied
so as to show a small center and wide
ends.
Aplaln patent leather boot, with kid but
ton, tops should be worn, unless one Is go
ing to dance; if so, -then patent-leather
pumps, in place of boots. The gloves
should be pearl-white kid, with one-button
clasp; the handkerchief of plain white
linen. Watch chains and fobs are not
worn with evening dress. The studs and
links must be of mother of pearl or white
enamel; yet. If one chooses, solitaire
pearls may be worn In the shirt.
And now a word of admonition to those
who abuse the purpose of a dinner jacket.
This dinner jacket, or "Tuxedo," as It
Is sometimes called, is not Intended for
wear at any place where ladles are to be
met. It Is nothing more or less than
an Informal dinner coat, for the club or
one's own home. It Is exceedingly bad
form to wear this coat at dances, either
In the Summer or "Winter.
Dinner jackets should be made of cloth
to match one's dress suit. It has a
shawl collar and is faced with black rib-
GROUP
bed silk. A white waistcoat may very
properly be worn with It, but the buttons
thereon should be of gold. A bat-shaped
black silk cravat Is the correct tie, and
a double collar, specially made for hold
ing a bow, looks very well with this
jacket Be sure your studs and links for
wear with the dinner jacket are of gold.

UNKNOWN PARTSOFEARTH
"work: for. discoverers of the
TWENTIETH CEXTTJR-Y.
Many Portions of This Terrestrial
Globe, Tabs Far Untrodden by
Mortal Foot, to Visit.
In an exhaustive article in the Globus,
a well-known German periodical devoted
to geography, Dr. Rudolph Andreo sums
up the achievements of the century In
regard to geography, and while he claims
that the nineteenth century may well be
termqd the century of discoveries, he
comes to the conclusion that it will still
be the work of many years before the
surface of the earth is known.
Concerning the regions around the
North Pole about which nothing Is
known, the tasks of future explorations
are- briefly Indicated by Dr. Andree as
follows; In the Asiatic-European Polar
Sea, from Wrangel Land In the east to
north of Spltzenbergen in the west, the
unknown is bounded by the drifts of the
f Jeannetto in 1SS1 and of the Fram In
1S94-1S9& In North Greenland geograph
ical knowledge does not extend, generally
speaking, beyond Lockwood's farthest
point In 1SS2, Cape Washington, and
Peary's searches in the vicinity of Inde
pendence Bay, 1S92; but beside these that
part of the eastern coast from Cape Bis
marck (Rayer, 1S70) to Independence Bay,
with the ocean in front of It, is un
known. Nearly determined is the extent of
Grinnell Land toward the west, while or
the extent of the Ellesmere Land south
of It and about the ocean north of Parry
Archipelago absolutely nothing Is known.
Large parts of the coast of Baffin's Land
also need exploration. In this respect the
next few years are likely to add ma
terially to the geographical knowledge
of the north polar region, for not less
than four expeditions on a large scale
are nearly ready to start.
At the South Pole.
The south polar region, where the most
extensive unknown territory is located,
will also be attacked next year all along
the line. Most of the land In this region
Is fixed by supposition upon tho maps.
Actual knowledge of land around the
South Pole reaches only to six points be
yond the 70-degree lattltude; at 170 de
grees east longitude, where James Ross
lr 1S40 discovered Victoria Land and Its
volcanoes, and Borchgrevlnk, in the Win
ter ot 1S99-1900, found the magnetic South
Pole and reached the highest southern
latitude so far, 7S degrees 50 minutes; at
150 degrees west longitude, where Ross in
182 found land which is probably a conti
nental mass; at 110 degrees west longi
tude (Cook, 17M); at 90 degrees west lon
gitude, where the Belgian expedition, un
der De Gerlache, during the Winter of
1S9S-1S99, drifted beyond 71 degrees 30 min
utes, south latitude: at 33 degrees west
longitude, where Weddell penetrated to 74
I degrees 30 minutes south latitude, and
finally at 15 degrees west longitude (Ross,
1S43.)
The enormous extent of the unknown
south polar region can best be illustrated
if its limits are transferred to a map
of the north polar region. It will then be
found that the boundary would Include
Norway, Siberia and North America down
.o 65 degrees north latitude, taking In the
entire northern half of Alaska.
Thibet a Mystery.
For the completion of the map of the
Asiatic continent the researches of the
nineteenth century have established new
and exact bases, yet there arc still small
er and larger regions, which are entire
ly unknown. Much remains to be done In
Thibet, despite the successes of Russian,
English and French travelers and Indian
surveyors. This Is particularly the case
of the land north of the route of Naln
Singh (1S74-1S75), south of the Kwenlun
and west of the route of the journey
of De Rhlns in 1893.
North of the Kwenlun and west of the
routes of Prschewalskl and Hedln,
stretching to the Tarulo, are extensive
unknown deserts. The eastern half of the
Himalaya Is known only In Incomplete
outlines. The hlchest peaks of the earth
in this region have been measured by
trigonometry from the flats of the Ganges
River, but their bases nor their tops
have not been reached.
Unknown In the sense of modern re
search is also the territory east of Bhu
tan across the Tsang Po, Brahmaputra,
and the Yang tse Klany. In the southern
part of Arabia Is the so-called "vacant
quarter," as wlir be seen from a glance
at the map, an area more than twice the
extent of the German Empire.
Tn Africa.
In Africa the researches have been
particularly active, and what is known of
this continent Is almost exclusively the
result ot work In the nineteenth century.
But there Is still much darkness In re
gard to this continent, and the classic
question. Quid novl ex Africa? will prob
ably be repeated for many years. A ter
ritory little known is between the Niger
in the south, the chain of oases of the
Tidlkelt In the north, the routo of Lenz
in the west, and the routes of Barth and
Duveyriers In the east.

It may be surprising to many peoplo
that explorers have a wide range of work

begin to show how much remains to be

HARVARD'S ATHLETIC CONTROL
Perfect System by Which Finances Are Hand led to Provide tho
Means for the Various Expensive Contests in Which the
Collegian Crews and Teams Annually Engage.
CAMBREDGE, Mass., Not. 2t The Har
vard and Tale football game today left
about $40,000 to be divided between the
treasuries of the athletic associations of
the two universities, after paying such
extra expenses as the printing of tickets
and the construction of the special seats
used only for this game.
It Is a matter of interest what becomes
ot such an enormous sum as the big
gomes net Harvard and Tale each year.
So far as Harvard is concerned, the an
swer Is easy. After years of undergrad

separately and Independently, so that
while the eleven had money to spare and
waxed extravagant as it became pros-

perous, the crew, for example, was a
drag on the college, supported solely by
subscriptions and never free from debt,
m 1S92 the university stepped In and sys
tematized the management of athletics
at Harvard. Today the system has
grown Into the perfection of a business
machine, as perfect In its way as a bank
or great insurance company.
The" proceeds of the Harvard-Yale game
always constitute the largest amount re
ceived by Harvard from a single game
during the year. But while a large
amount of money is received from the
several football games. It is not enough
to cover more than the running expenses
connected with the various branches ot
athletics at Harvard, and Soldiers' Field,
the athletic grounds, the new boathouse,
dedicated 10 das and the gift of the
New York Harvard Club; " the Carey
Bulldlng, with its rowing tank and base
ball cage, and the locker building, were
all duo to the generous contributions of
the graduates.
The Athletic Committee.
The entire supervision and control of
all Harvard athletic exercises within and
without the precincts of the University
are in charge of the committee on the
regulation of athletic sports. This com
mittee, commonly known as the athletic
committee, consists of three members of
the university's faculty, three graduates
of the college, and three undergraduates,
who appoint a graduate manager of ath
letics, whose duties are to exercise a gen
eral oversight of all the accounts of the
various athletic organizations of the Uni
versity, and to have charge of all the
athletic grounds and buildings. All money
madeby any of the teams Is turned over
to him, and all expenses of the 'varsity
teams are met by him. During the year
a very large sum of money passes through
his hands.
While the football games yield a hand
some surplus over the expenses of the
'varsity, second, class and scrub elevens,
the same cannot be said of the other
sports. Baseball comes"" out about even;
track athletics result In a slight loss, and
rowing In a heavy deficit, for there are
no receipts whatever to . help pay the
large expenses connected with the Uni
versity Boat Club. There are between 400
and 500 students In regular training for
rowing during tho season.
As many as 32 eight-oar crews were
practicing on the Charles River the other
day, in addition to a number of singles,
pairs and fours. This Is the largest num
ber of crews ever In practice at one time
at a single college In America. In addi
tion to the University Boathouse, there
Is a second boathouse, presented by Mr.
George Walker Weld, for the use chiefly
of students not engaged In regular crews,
which Is the headquarters for the Weld
Boat Club, while Its friendly rival in
stimulating Interest In rowing, the Newell
Boat Club, uses the old 'varsity boat
house. Expenses Go On.
The football season Is now over at Har
vard, and the work of the crews will be
confined to tank and gymnasium work for
several months; but athletic expenses will
go on, and the graduate manager's staff
of clerks, janitors and caretakers of
grounds will continue busy; to say noth
ing of the track teams and baseball prac
tice. In addition to the 'varsity and class
baseball teams, there will soon be prac
ticing 18 or 20 scrub nines, which com
pete with each other for the Leiter cups,
which mark the scrub championships.
From these teams are selected players
for the class nines, from which are chosen
players for the 'varsity team. Although
there will be considerable revenue from
tho baseball games, it will not be sufli-
iclent to pay all the expenses. The track
J athletics also make a heavy caH upon the
o ..u ouubci iuir expenses ior which
small returns, except in glory, will be
received.
The same watchful' care and thorough
system which characterizes tho super
vision of athletic expenses and recelpta
at Harvard marks the treatment of tha
athletes themselves by the University.
Upon entering tho University each stu
dent is entitled to an examination by the
director of the gymnasium, in which hla
physical proportions aro measured, hla
strength tested. h!sheart and lung3 ex
amined, and. Information solicited con
cerning his general health and inherited
tendencies.
From the data thus procured, a special
order of appropriate exercises Is made
out for each student, with specifications
of the movements and apparatus which
he may best use. After working on this
prescription for three or six months the
student Is entitled to another examina
tion, by which results of his work- nm
( ascertained and the director enabled to
maKo a xurtner prescription. No student
Is permitted to take part In athletic con
tests without a special physical exami
nation by the director of the gymnasium
and his permission so to do.
Absence ot Professionalism.
Thanks to the control by tho athletic
committee, there Is not the slightest tinge
of professionalism ln athletics at Har
vard. The traveling expenses of mem
bers of the teams are paid by tho com
mittee, which also furnishes uniforms,
sweaters, and so forth, to the members ot
the 'varsity squads. Tho committee also
provides a special training table, but the
student has to pay the same amount ha
Is In the habit of paying under ordinary
conditions for his board.
In former day3 there were "junkets"
of all kinds, but now only players and
bona fide substitutes whose hard work,
otherwise unrecognized, entitles them to
this reward, accompany the eleven to New
Haven, Philadelphia or West Point; the
track teams to New Haven orMott Ha

Need for Bureaus.
'I knew a man once who had a bureau
that he had bought from a friend, and it
was probably the worst-made bureau that
ever damaged tho reputation of an other
wise unprofane man."
"What was the matter with the bu
reau?" "Plenty. There wasn't a drawer in It
that fitted. Snelbaker, that was the man's
name, had his collars and cuffs and small
furnishings In the middle drawer, and to
pull our the middle drawer required nine
hitches, alternating left and right, and
then a sudden jerk. Snelbaker could do It
every time after awhile, but the habit was
so firmly fixed on him that he couldn't
do it without swearing. He'd accompany
himself with a sort of profane obllgato as
it were, and leel better for It, too.
One n!ght.a fellow-boarder sneaked into
his room and carefully soaped the portions
of the drawer that caused the friction
and when Snelbaker got hold of it a little
later. It came so easy at the first hitch
that he forgot himself and gave a mighty
jerk that brought It out with such celerlty
that it flew over his head he was lying
on his back at the time, staring at tho
wonderful star display on the celling
and continued across the room and over
tho bed, and banged itself against the
door casing and flung Snelbakers collars
and cuffs and other things all over the
upper hall and down the front stairway,
and one of his collar buttons actually
dropped Into the lower hall and down the
register and straight ahead into the fur
nace, two floors below."
"And what did Snelbaker dor
"He didn't do a thing but get an ax and
give that wretched piece of furniture
some of the most profane licks that were
ever dealt an Inanimate object. But he
wouldn't have another burpui brought in
to his room. No. sir. He kept his shirts
In the washstand, his cuffs In a hat box
and his collars in the waste basket."

THE PASSIICG OF THE ESKIMO.
I.
On the shores of tho far-off Behrlng,
"Where tho Indians eat dried herring.
Where they worship "whlto man's customs,"
and sot God;
There a dusky native maiden
In Nome River was a wading:.
And a fishing and a wishing for Tom Ccd.
n.
There an honest miner spied her.
And he soon was close beside her.
Making signs that food and drink he had to
spare.
In his tent upon the lea spit.
If this maiden would but see fit.
He would feed her oa the white man's
sumptuous fare.
m.
So this friendly, honest miner
Bet before her this fine diner:
Breakfast bacon, Java coffee, nice warm,
bread.
Now she sleeps upon the mountain.
Near a spring called Crystal Fountain;
For this dusky Indian maiden she is dead.
IV.
E'er she died, she to'd her lover
How she'd dined on duck and plover.
How the honest miner fed her In his teat.
"Cow-cow-peluck" (starving), said he;
Forthwith to the miner sped he.
Now he's keeping with the angels holy Lent.
V.
Then the old ones came a begging;
Some on crutches came a pegging
In the honest miner's tent they were at
home.
Freely gave he them potatoes.
Beef and pork and canned tomatoes.
Now the tribe la calmly sleeping on Point
Nome.
VI.
With their "Igloos" all deserted.
And their women flannel-skirted.
No more "muck-lucks" made of seal anil
walrus skin. "
Tea and coffee, rum and whisky
Oh I they feel Quite fine and frisky
Till Consumption and Pneumonia take them In,
TH.
Thus we see civilization
Caused the death of this proud nation.
And the Eskimo and Indian are no more.
While the honest miner damn him I
Caused their death seme one should lamn
him
Helped waft them to the fair Elyslan shore.
