SEEKING REINSTATEMENT. Mingo Sanders, Formerly of 25th Infantry, Petitions President. "Top Sergeant" Mingo Sanders, formerly of the 25th colored Infantry, U.S.A.. one of the men dismissed by order of President Roosevelt on account of the Brownsville incident, is making a strong effort for reinstatement in the army. He today forwarded an "open petition" to President Roosevelt, praying that he be allowed to re-enlist. The paper recites that "Mingo Sanders, formerly first sergeant. Company B, 25th Infantry, U.S.A., represents that after a.n honest and faithful service in the army d for nearry thirty years he was on No- a vomber 22. 19011, summarily dismissed o without honor from said service for al- ' leged participation in the 'shooting up' ^ of Brownsville, Tex., the night of Augast t 18-14, 100G." t He claims that he was innocent of tiiA f offense alleged against him, and that lie b did not possess any knowledge of "shoot- li ing up'' of the place. He adds that he t slept at his home the night of the occur* v renee and was awakened "by the ladles 1 of the house by the alarm." He next h heard the call to arms and proceeded to a the company and called the roll at once, t Jle solemnly swears that he Is innocent a and does not know anything about the t case, either before or at the time of the c happening. t In the petition is Sanders' record as a t soldier. The character given on his seven n discharges from the army is "excellent" f in four cases; "very good" in two, and a "discharged without honor" on the li seventh as a result of the Brownsville o affair. Tie says that he served in many a Indian campaigns and the war with Spain. ? a Contest for Suffolk Man's $100,000. a SUFFOLK, Va., October fi.?A prelimi- g nary proceeding yesterday inaugurates a a court contest over $100,00<f left by Zach- s ary T.

CONDITIONS OLD AND NEW Fames Walker, Founder of the University Union, a Genius. STUDENTS HAVE A CLUB HOME Wonderful Results Accomplished by Undergraduates?Their Corps of Academic Consuls. BY WILLIAM E. CURTIS. Special C<>rrps|(oiidencp of The Star and the Chicago Record-HeraId. EDINBURGH. September 30. 1908. By act of parliament the students of the University of Edinburgh and the other three Scottish universities have been given a voice in the management and administration of those institutions. Although it is not a powerful voice and they are in a very small minority, nevertheless the plan and purpose are worthy i f serious attention from the trustees of similar institutions in the United States. The sc heme has worked well thus far. | It may lie considered a complete success, and although there has been some friction from time to time, the general effect has been wholesome, for by a recognition of their right to be heard in matters that iflfect their interests the esprit de corps, the discipline and dignity of the undergraduate body have been enhanced to a legree many times greater than the scope if their new obligations and responsibilities. Students Elect Lord Rector. Kv an act of narliament in 1K.*ift the students at Edinburgh were authorized to elect the lord rector of that institution, md have since shown extraordinary judgment in their selections. The rector serves for three years, and although he is not always present in person, his prestige carries great weight. The triennial campaign awakens the students to a sense of their responsibility, quickens their manhood and gives them an experience Lhat is of great value. These campaigns are attended with in:ense excitement. Committees are formed to advocate and promote the election of various favorites; headquarters are rent?d; literary bureaus are established; meetings are held and daily and nightly speeches are made, and although none hut undergraduates have a vote, the entire pity becomes more or less Interested in sympathy with the contestants. The campaign lasts about a fortnight, full of ncident and.entertainment, developing the ; oratorical and executive ability of the ! leaders of the different factions and giv- ; ng them an experience that will be of! ?reat value when they enter the larger vorld of politics after graduation. The present rector of Edinburgh i? the Ht. Hon. Richard Burdon Haldane, member of parliament, and chancellor of the mperial exchequer. The rector of Glasgow University, where there Is a similar mntost every three years, is the Rt. Hon. Herbert Henry Asquith, prime minister )f England; the rector of Aberdeen is Sir Frederick Treves, a member of the facilty. and the rector of St. Andrews is ^ord Aveburg. Their Responsibility Extended. In 1880 the responsibilities of the stulents in the management of the four uniersities in Scotland was extended by anther act of parliament, authorizing the ormatlon of a students' representative ouncil in each, to be elected by the unergraduates from their own number, and ; o represent them in all matters affecting heir interests. The council of Edinburgh. c or example, consists of ninety-six mem- 1 ers. representing the different faculties c n proportion to their numbers: Medicine, f hirty members; arts, twelve; law. seven; ( >uiiicu Biuuniis, six; science, nve; dtvin- , ty, one, and music one. This council t lolds regular sessions, and is represented j it meetings of the faculty and trustees t >y delegates selected by ballot, who have . in equal voice with all of the other mem- ' tors of the governing body In the decision , f all questions affecting the administra- j ion and welfare of the Institution. While , hey represent but one unit against many, f 10 action can be taken without a full and t air hearing from them as authorized . gents of the student body. The purpose t i thus accomplished by giving the views , if the students a definite expression upon t .11 subjects. ( This plan originated in 1884, when preprations were being made for the ,?Oth nnlversary of the founding of the instiutlon. A committee of students was or;anized to co-operate with the faculty nd trustees to make the celebration a uccess. and its efficiency was so comiletely demonstrated that the organizalon was made permanent, and five years fter received the sanction of the British larliament. Aims of Representative Councils. The aims of the council are, (1) to repesent the students in such matters as iffeet their interest; (2) to afford an auhorized means of communication between he students and the university authoriies; (.'{) to provide an official agency for onducting relations with other institu- ] ions; (4) to promote social life, personal icquaintance, and to advance the stand ird of the scholarship and Improve the 1 liscipline of the student; (5) to establish , i central authority to supervise sports, j imusemonts and other student activities; \ (?> and. finally, to provide whatever neans and adopt whatever measures are otisidered necessary from time to time to remote the welfare of the undergrad lates. . This was the Urst attempt ever made to ; levelep esprit de eorps In the university, j is 1 told you in a previous letter, there t ire no dormitories at Kdinburg, no fra- , entities or anything of that kind, and no ( neans to develop the social side of the f outig men. The Scottish student, as a . ule. is self-contained." He has more! j icrsonal independence and self-reliance, is nore * individualistic than those of other ; s aces, and perhaps did not require the : { octal relaxation that other young men ! lemanri. Tiie undergraduates are scat- j ered in lodgings all over the city. t Conditions Then and Now. < Formerly they drifted into their classes ' it the appointed hour, sat side by side ! ( until the lecture was over, then folded l heir notebooks, as the Arabs are said ? o fold their tents, and silently stole away * vitheut saying a word to their classnates. The only time they ever got tori.t5.oe trnc nnIn vnufc'at Hio In. luguration of the lord rector, when for uany generations It has been customary o have a torchlight procession, which invariably er.d?-d in a riot and landed as nany students as the police could ac ommodate fn the police stations. The students took this occasion to do whatever damage they were able, en passant, o private property; consequently the hopkeepers and other citizens living' ilong the line of march always closed i arly and prepared their defenses. The iniversity quarter of the city became a >edlam all night, and broken heads, limbs md bruised bodies were numerous the lext morning. One of the first arts of the students' ouncil was to change the form of this elebration and transform it from a riot nto an orderly although not very digniied demonstration, which is not without ts fun and fantastic features: but it is arried on without invading the rights or listurbing the peace of the citizens. There has never been a place or an oportunlty for the students of Edinburgh o assemble until the council took that natter in charge, and now the boys are ailed together frequently to discuss and letermine questions that do not often oncern the public, but are of vital imlortance in their eyes. And on these cessions leadership develops sometimes n an extraordinary manner. The Speculative Society. It Is not quite accurate to say there i tave been no organizations among the tudents, because In the medical and law t t 0 The I I J Head-to-foot Outfil II ? ? lepartments small coteries of students lave been attracted to each other as birds if a feather fiock together, and have had linners and other dissipations in an Inormal, but enjoyable way. One of these >rganizations and the most famous of hem is the Speculative Society, familiary known as "Speck." and composed enirely of students of metaphysics whose natron saint and idol was the late Sir A'illiam Hamilton, the famous metaphysician. For nearly half a century that profound thinker and distinguished scholar, without a superior in his field of investigation, gathered around him the best inelleets of the undergraduate population, md in an absent-minded way accepted heir adoration. After his death they )Iaced upon the wall over the chair he ic.cupied for so long, a quotation from one >f his lectures: On earth there is nothing great but man; Iu man there Is nothing great but mind. The Students' Club Home. Perhaps the most important service that he students' council has done is the esablishment of the University Union?a rlubhouse which is the center and focus if college life, a home for the alumni as veil as the undergraduate and completely iquipped for its purpose. The building is in imposing structure conveniently situited in the midst of the university buildngs. It contains a dining hall where neals are served at the usual hours for l little more than cost, and several liunIred students lake advantage of the op>ortunity. There is a library tilled with lseful books, a reading room with inaga:incs and newspapers, a billiard room, :ard roopis, chess room, otiier amusement ooms, and a debating hall capable of seating .KM) people, which Is the storm renter of this little republic. On occalions it is used for dances, concerts, amaeur dramatic performances and other ;vents of a social character. There is a series of committee rooms in .vhicli tlie innumerable organizations of .he 3.0UO students have their headquarters, ?a< h with a locker for its records. The ist of organizations is very long. There s a tifla corps of KM) members, a battalion >f highlanders, who wear the native cos:ume, several athletic clubs, three foot nail clubs, four cricket clubs, boating, ;olf. tennis, cycling, photographic, dranatie, chess and other clubs, live debating ocieties and four literary societies, ol .vhicli Robert Browning. John Kusltin, Sir Walter Sco't, Robert Louis Stevenson, sir Edward Bulwer Eytton. Eord Brougham John Morley. Andrew i.ang, Conan Doyle and many other eminent men have >ecn members and officers. There are several fi^reign language clubs, a line arts jocletj. a clioral .-ociety, an amateur or l.estra, and different organizations, including a missionary association, three .emperance societies, four political clubs ind a number of colonial clubs, composed >f students trom the Britis hcolonies. A Plane Where All Meet. The University Union is the seventh faculty of the university, embracing all the )ther six, and bringing together the facilties, the students and the alumni, where :hey can meet on a level among genial Ii'lth mlltlio I into rt< ct C TIlP Mil I UUUUlllga, mill lliuium imiiiuw. ? ..v 'oul of the institution is James Walker, :he treasurer, who was one of the organzers, and has been associated with it from ts start. He is the inspiring genius, the general manager, the contidential adriser and the court of appeals for all students on all subjects. Holding the >ttlce of treasurer, as he does, he is expected to find the money to carry out iny undertaking thai may be suggested. It was Mr. Wafker who raised the funds 'or the building, and I noticed that his gentle touch separated Andrew Carnegie rom the goodly sum of flin.uuO. The ini:latlon fee of the union is only 5 siblings. the annual dues are for undergraduates and flO for members of the tlumni. The women students are not' admitted :o the University Union, but they have i little one of their own, based upon the same plan and with a similar organiza:ion. There are about 500 women stuients in the University of Edinburgh ind nearly half of them are members of he union. The students' representative council pubishes a monthly magazine as an ex>onent of university life and sentiment. !t Is really an admiruble publication. Ic&demic Consuls?A Splendid Idea. Perhaps the most Important work of he council has been the organization of % ' ~ ' acme of f gjfr&v. 9 ^ Shoes 1 I ^ The v ^ depicted hei "smart" effe ment on th< Every which has 1 in the "Dc occasion. For sale what they call the academic consular corps of the university, which consists of an agent at every one of the important European universities and capitals, and In the British colonies and the I'nited States. The business of these consuls is to give information, advice and introductions to Scottish students going to foreign universities and foreign dtie-s, and to do the same for foreign students desiring to attend Scottish universities. Each consul is supposed to act as a sort of gtiard-^ ian or godfather to the Scotlsh students under his Jurisdiction, whether they be engaged in study or in business, and those in Australia, Canada, South Africa and j other colonies have proved of the greatest j assistance to Edinburgh graduates who ' have gone to those countries to settle. I There are two eonsuls in the I'nited States, | one at the I'niversity of Pennsylvania ! and the other at the I'niversity of Chicago. Excellent Results Achieved. j no council nas> aceompiwneu several > important reforms in class hours, in teachj ing arrangements, in the improvement of i laboratories and their equipment and in I other respects. As there is no chapel conj nected with the universities, the coun; cil l as arranged for special servj ices tor the student population at St. , Giles cathedral and has induced the greatest preachers in Scotland to volunteer their services. The program is made up at the beginning of the university year. The council also publisher a handbook containing information required by every : freshman, and, indeed, every underclassman. It has improved the character of athletic woift of all the different teams i to a decided degree by adopting measures that elevate the standard and the dignity as well as tfte honor o;' the contests. The same can be said of the debating societies and oratorical contests which are managed entirely by the students. The Scotch, as you all know, are great "argutiers," and need no compulsion to break their silence on i>olitical and theological questions. From what I hear, the debates at the Edinburgh Union are usually very lively affairs, and serve a great purpose in nourishing the germs of oratory that nature has pBmted among the students. Every year there Is on? great content, which is decided by the votes of the audience. anil no forensic struggle.ever developed more excitement, interest and anxiety.
