some work and expense, it gives the paper
belter rank among college publications.
Y 7HY is it that so many young men, sup- -
' posed to be gentlemen, lay aside their
good manners at chapel prayers? Why, for
instance, do the first comers usually take
the extreme outer end of the long, narrow
rows of seats, so that others have to squeeze
and crowd by a continually increasing mass
of knees and feet? This looks like selfishness,
pure and simple. But in this case
selfishness defeats its own ends, for in the
long run we shall each probably draw the
center as often as the outside of the row.
Besides it is almost as disagreeable to have
one's toes stepped on, as to be compelled to
step upon those of others. Surely the few
seconds gained by being at the outer end are
not worth the discomfort, confusion and
ungentlemanliness which they occasion.
Let us see a reform in this respect.
the oratorical contest begins to loom
AS up in the distance, it will, perhaps, not
be entirely out of place to make a few observations
relating to the manner in which it is
customary to choose the speakers for this
occasion. As we all know, these speakers
are elected by the Oratorical Association,
two men from each of the men's societies in
college. As a result, we often hear of many
who have been chosen on account of their
general popularity rather than their rhetorical
ability, and often, too, men are chosen

Dear Review:
In your last issue you say, "When you
are in Holland don't fail to call on the genial
Van Burk. He is at home in Oosterbeek."
Not exactly there now, but a short distance
south of Oosterbeek in Hees bei Nymegen,
where he and his genial wife cordially re-ceiv- ed
and for several days royally enter-aine- d
two weary, foot-wor- n travelers on
their way to Germany. A brief account of
how John, or johann, as his wife loves to
call him, is situated and what he is doing I
thought might be of inters "

THE OBERLIN REVIEW.
A LETTER FROM BERLIN.

It will not surprise the readers of the Review
when I tell them that Mr. Van Burk s
st the same He walks
brisk, energetic step. He talks in the same
stairs are rather steep and narrow, but that t
is as nothing compared with the blackness of
darkness which engulfs them. One might
easily imagine that he is about to descend
into the Catacombs, as he stands at the entrance.
The first step once taken, he is
pushed on by the crowd until he finds himself,
he hardly knows how, once more in the
light of day. What can be done about it?
Surely it is possible at least to have a lantern
on the first landing, to mark the half-wa- y
point and cheer the weary pilgrim.
yilE U. L. A. lecture by Du Chaillu was
greatly enjoyed by the small audience
that heard him. It is a matter of regret
that Oberlin did not furnish a better house
for so famous a lecturer. The lecture course
that the U. L. A furnishes yearly is among
the most valuable things that the college
offers. In former years they have been
well patronized. The lecture field is unusually
rich this year, and the U. L. A. has
secured the very best talent in it for Oberlin.
We trust that a large aifdience will greet Mc

vivacious vein; he has the same vigorous
gestures, the same hearty laugh, the same
tricky ways and the same mischievous
twinkle in his eye. His brow is not darkened
nor his face made gloomy by family cares.
Domestic responsibilities do not seem to
weigh heavily upon him.
His love for cocoa has in no wise abated.
Instead of sipping a tiny cup in the solitude
of his own room or in company with a few
lonesome theologues, he now enjoys that
luxury in the "buzzuin" of his family.
Nor does one cup suffice. His wife tells me
that he must have his cocoa the first thing in
the morning before rising and the last thing
in the evening before retiring, and that the
ardent duties of the day are lightened by a
frequent cup of Van Houten's or Blooker's
cocoa. But in the midst of many and
strong temptations to drink let us be thank- -

ful he never indulges in anything more intoxicating
than pure cocoa or "gamier"
(ginger) beer.
Mr. and Mrs. Van Burk are cozily settled
for the Winter in a quiet little home of a
Dutch country town, and a beautiful place
it is. Here you find beautiful macadamized
roads, lined on either side by handsome
shade trees. Here are interestingand unique
Dutch houses with their curious and often
fantastic gables and their antique roofs.
Here is a level tract of as fertile and well-cultivat- ed
land as you can see anywhere.

tistry, consecrated by Pope Leo III in 799,
re-erect- ed but in the 12th century. There is
also an ancient ruin to be seen here, pointed
out by the inhabitants of the place as the
remnant of a heathen temple. In Nymegen
was also one of the favorite palaces of Charlemagne.
The memory of the great emperor
is kept fresh among the people to this day.
The curfew, which sounds between 8:30 and
9 o'clock, is known as "Kaiser Karel's
Klock" and the finest square in the city is
called "Kaiser Karel's Plain."
But I am digressing. Mr. Van Burk has
been engaged by a number of active, progressive
Christian men of Holland to present
the cause of the Y. M. C. A. and of an
aggressive and practical every-da- y Christianity
in general, before the cities and universities
of Holland. The need of a practical,
working, ekevery-day-in-the-we-
kind of
Christianity in Holland is great. The faith
of the so-call- ed .Christian people has in a
large measure dwindled into stereotyped
phrases and cold formalism, and among the
upper classes extreme rationalism and open
infidelity are common. There are enough
churches but they are not living centers of influence
and helpfulness. There are enough
87
services, (and they are surely long enough
for they frequently continue three hours and
the sermon is so long that they take up a
collection in the middle, presumably to rest
the audience,) but they fail to touch the
heart and life of the people. There is too
much shadow and ceremony and not enough
substance and reality. The spirit of the
Maker needs to be breathed into these dead
bones so that they may breathe and live again.
This is the field to which brother Van
Burk is called to labor and for which he is
admirably fitted both by temperament and
training. He comes before his people as an
American, in the spirit of an American, and
with the vim and directness of an American.
He comes before them as the representative
of no party and the mouth-piec- e of no sect,
but "in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth
and Him crucified."
And the reception which is being accorded
him is much more hearty than might have
been expected. .He has appointments for
weeks and months ahead. He is called to
speak in the centers of the learning and the
life of the country. Churches and halls are
freely thrown open to him and in the best
homes of the land he receives a hearty welcome.
He comes before his people with a
message and therefore commands a respectful
hearing. The field is a large one, the
responsibility great and Mr. Van Burk feels
his own weakness and insufficiency and asks
all his friends to remember him in his difficult
field.
One word more. As we gathered, a group
of Oberlin's children, in a foreign land, and
talked over the experience of former days,
as the hosts of friends and acquaintances
we made there passed in memory before us
and we recalled with unmingled joy the delightful
days we were permitted to spend together
there, our hearts went out to our
dear Alma Mater. And when we bent our
knees in prayer we instinctively remembered

say I had'nt any idea of manners at
all. I don't remember much about it, but I feel
quite sure that I must have broken the most
common rules of etiquette and made myself
generally previous. Even now my sisters
and other relatives sometimes remark that
my manners are not just what they would expect
of one of my years. Relatives seem to
feel an innate and inalienable right to say
disagreeable things.
I've been trying to improve, however, and
have picked up a few points which may be
of use to some Prep, or Freshman.
Now I am nothing if not benevolent and I
am intending to publish a book on etiquette.
The work has been somewhat delayed by my
study of foreign languages, because, when
the hue and cry for the translation of my
treatise comes from other lands, I want to be
able to do it myself and give the credit to
my effort which I believe it really deserves.

who lately suffered from a severe attack of

selected:

If a lady is going out of Peter's just behind
you, let the heavy door swing in her
face; it may not kill her and she can't call
you officious.
In chapel, always take the outside seat and
stick out your feet. If anyone wishes to sit
in the same row and tries to pass before you,
crowd forward a little so that he may trip.
This discourages tardiness.
During interesting parts of the lecture,
laugh and converse with the man next to you.

for an hour his curtains have been drawn and
the light of his lamp has taken the place of
the soft twilight. That home where all the
world seems to rest has brought no rest to
him.
The room is one of taste and comfort.
The soft light of his lamp fell on carpets,
rugs and furniture, and revealed a harmony
as true as that over which his soul was musing.
He was seated at a large table near the
center of the room. At his side was a revolving
book-cas- e which contained the volumes
that he most enjoyed in his few moments
of leisure. The table was scattered over
with the manuscript that had been his toil
for months. To-nig- ht he was not working,
however. His eyes gazed intently at the fine

His work was near completion. He
fancied that he heard its first great chorus as he
sat there. Then his mind wandered on with
various fancies. He recalled the old story

of the Eolian harp. A Swiss noble had on
his estate a deep ravine. It was situated on
the sides of a steep mountain and the winter
winds swept with awful force between its jagged
sides. To please his fancy he had great
cables stretched across the mighty chasm. A
great storm came with the night, and the air for
miles around vibrated with the wondrous
strains from this grandest of Eolian harps.
He heard such music to-nig- ht. His eyes
were closed. There was a knock on the
door, but he did not hear it, and the visitor
left without a second trial thinking that he
did not wish to be disturbed.- - For hours he
sat there. The light from his lamp grew
dimmer, and went out altogether just as the
faint light of dawn struggled in around the
curtains.
Still that wonderful music held him. When
he first heard it, the thought had come that
hed neecd rest and should sleep. But that
thought was gone hours ago. The music
that he heard was real. It was no dream.
He had heard such in his dreams often before,
but now it was distinct and did not fade
away as in his. dreams. The ear of his soul
was opened.
An hour later his friend stopped at his
room to bid him good morning. He still sat
at the table. On opening his eyes, at the
greeting of his friend, he spoke of hearing
wonderful music. As he willingly allowed
himself to be led out of the room he spoke
still of the music.

The doctors said that his mind had been on
too great a strain: that he might recover.

OBERLIN WINS FROM AD ELBERT, SCORE 12-- 6.
Last Saturday morning promised anything
but good foot ball weather. The sky was
cloudy, the air. had an ominous feeling of
dampness and old Aeolus was literally blowing
himself. But we have it on good authority
that it is not always possible to tell
what a day may bring forth. By noon the
sky was clear, and everything excepting the
wind was most favorable for the coming
game.
At about two o'clock the special train
from Cleveland arrived bringing nearly one
hundred and fifty visitors, and the eleven
men who were to champion Adelbert.
Among the visitors were a large number of
ladies who wore the red and white with pleading
effect.
Long before three, the rheumatic and
otherwise ailing sidewalk of North Professor
beneath the feet of the
street began to groan
crowd on their way to the grounds. At three
o'clock the grand stand was filled. The
colors of Adelbert and Oberlin, in about
equal numbers, adding interest to the scene.
On the right side of the grounds the Adelbert
men were fortified and prepared to support
their team to the full extent of their
lung capacity. On the left the whole length
of the line was crowded three and four deep
with men who returned the Hi-O-- Hi in
scriptural measures for the fantastic yell
raised now and then by their opponents
across the grounds.
A little after three o'clock the opposing
teams lined up m the center of the field, the

difference in their weight was very slight.
Adelbert had the advantage of playing with
the wind and grounds in her favor. Oberlin
had the ball.
Adelbert expected a V as Oberlin's first
play, but Oberlin's line runs, instead, to the
left, keeping close together and protecting
Regal while he makes a neat run of 25 yards.
Grosvenor followed with a run of 20 yards,
and the ball was not far from Abelbert's
goal.
After two downs and two yards gain,
Oberlin loses the ball. Adelbert kicks to
the middle of the grounds and Oberlin gets
the ball. Oberlin then gained a few yards
on a third down and Grosvenor follows with
a run for 12 yards. Oberlin next gains 5
yards on a rush but loses the ball to Adelbert.
Adelbert loses the ball on a foul.
Grosvenor drops the ball in passing and loses

The enthusiasm of the crowd at this time
was great, and the out come of the game was
still in doubt, though the Oberlin team would
doubtless have an advantage in playing with
with the wind during the second half.
Adelbert begins. the second half with a V
that secures 5 yards but she loses the ball on
a. fumble. Oberlin loses the ball without
making gain. Adelbert then gains 7 yards

blocked by Adelbert. Adelbert gets the ball

touching the bar.
Adelbert on the 25 yard line with the ball
makes nothing by V, gains 3 yards on a run
which is stopped by a good tackle by Hart,
and 5 yards on two rushes. She loses 10
yards on a fumble, and 4 yards by a skillful
tackle bv Grosvenor. Adelbert now tries to
kick the ball on the fourth down. Adelbert
recovers the ball and makes 9 yards in two
rushes but lose 3 yards by the tackle of C.
Williams. Oberlin gets the ball and gains
6 yards on rushes. Williams, S. R., at this
point takes the ball andjunning through the
centre, makes a touch down, which is not allowed
by the umpire, on the grounds that
the ball was not in play, not having touched
three men. On this ground Adelbert gains
the ball, and gains 5 yards in rushes, but
loses 5 yards and ball to Oberlin fly a fumble.
For some moments the ball changes hands
frequently, neither side making any considerable
gain until Wilson makes a brilliant run
of 35 yards for Adelbert which is stopped by
Jones. Grosvenor gains 16 yards on a skilful
tackle. Adelbert makes a long run to
the right but fails to gain, and loses the ball

Oberlin. Oberlin fails to gain in a rush and
loses the ball.. Adelbert then makes a good
run of 40 yards, and is stopped by Regal.

The gentlemen who furnished the score
cards for Saturday's game should be congratulated
on their success with so short a
time to prepare. The cards would be more

evening, Nov. 2, 1891, Sturges Hall. From
6 to 7:30 p. m. The reception was strictly
U. L. A., invitations being given only to
present and former members of the college
literary societies. The gentlemen were especially
pleased with the opportunity of visiting
the "Sanctum Sanctorum" of the Ladies'
Society rooms. hitherto forbidden ground,

was a great success, and a pleasing innovation
in society life.
Last Friday Bert Hogen manager of the
foot ball team, went to his home in Cleveland
to get over a bad cold. ; The team wishes to
take this occasion to give the manager credit
for his services on the Ann Arbor trip.. Every,

bad boys furnished him a high chair and bib

forgot. . They all hope for another trip under
his care. .
