earthborn vigor, but it was over-
weighted and lacked in proportion. He
was the bolder master-painter of lite-
ature: Newman was the truer, more
exact, artist. Carlyle was strong in
re-vitalizing great events, great scenes
of war and state, and in impressing
upon the yorld the supreme need- of a
few majestic truths. Newman was
better at filling in the gaps, at show-
ing history in its calmer times, and
leaving aside the controversial points
of theology, he was the better, steadier
suide. Carlyle, mentally,-was the big-
ger, the broader man. Newman was not
so great a genius, but his character
was of the two, the more admirable.
It was not so rugged, so masculine, so
forceful; but it was purer, nobler,
more unselfish.
CARLYELE’S VIGOROUS NATURE.
““There is no better way of under-
standing these differences than by
seeing of what fiber the heroes of
these noble men were formed. This
antithesis appears in the clearest re-
lief when we study the heroes of these
two noble men. With Carlyle it was
Odin, Mahommed, Luther, Cromwell—
anyone who was a right true piece of
human valor. “Strong sons of nature”
with fire in their eyes were to him the
heroes. He like a brave, lion-hearted
man, no matter how uncouth, how
rustic he might chance to be. ‘The
fearless daring of the Norse sea-kings,
that black anger-vein on the brow of
the desert prophet, anything attracted
him, which showed that it was a sym-
bol of a “great, rude, human soul.” To
Newman, how strange all this must
have seemed. The old fathers, re-
fined, quiet, pious men, were his he-
roes. Saint Philip Neri and many an-
other noble monk, of whom simple de-
yotion to the Catholic cause, and calm
eontemplation and peaceful ministry
were characteristic. It was the com-
forting and uplifting spirits that ap-
pealed to him, not the bold warrior,
the fiery prophet, the stirring reform-
er.
“Carlyle was primarily a_ great
arousing force. His message was
““Awake, arise! Speak forth that is in
thee; what God has given thee!” or
again his cry is “Be not longer chaos.
Produce! Produce!” He liked to throw
out truths in so rude and straightfor-
ward 2a way that they would stir up
the very depths of the soul. Dilettan-
tism, hypocrisy, mammonism, false-
hood, cant; against these he hurled
his tirades with all the power of a
yigorous mind, and said to truth: “Be
thou in place of all to me.” It was
broad-mindedness and genuineness and
justice that he yearned to see ruling
in this fallen world.
NEWMAN A RELIGIOUS TEACHER,
“Newman, too, was a truth loving
man of deep sincerity, but he was more
a religious teacher than Carlyle, less
an inspiring moral power. ‘To him it
was tenderness and love rather than
He would have us more quiet
ways, more trustful, deeper
er than broader men. He would
more spiritual, more pious. He would
lay more stress on the fineness of the
spirit-texture, and relatively less on
ts Massive strength. Newman would
live in the peaceful quiet of the
fields; Carlyle would choose
s inspiration the mountain crag,
he cataract, the ocean storm. New-
man would emphasize the need of ten-
; ss, purity, obedience; Carlyle
bid us be independent, and
give his whole great soul to

venience. Another cabinet is ready for
photographs and other material to be
used in classical instruction. This last
collection is the gift of President
Dwight. Through the generosity of
Professor Horatio Reynolds, Mr. Dim-
nock and others, a sum for the imme-
diate purchase of books has been con-
tributed. The library, which will be
made quite accessible by an elevator,
will be very quiet.
It is here pertinent to give a brief
history of the Classical Club from the
time of its inception. Previous to
1892, there had been given public lec-
tures and readings by the Classical De-
partments, but the two faculties had
not yet united for common ends. In
1892 the Greek instructors, who had
been meeting in Professor Seymour’s
study for the purpose of reading over
the portions of text then being taught
in the class room, thought that it
might not be without mutual profit, if
a club were organized for the promo-
tion of classical study. Among the
first members were Messrs. Seymour,
Reynolds, Kitchel, Brownson, Hunt
and others. The club meets once a
week for the reading and criticism of
works of classical authors and for the
discussion of topics in classical phil-
ology. The club is composed of grad-
uate students of philology, and the
University instructors of Greek, Latin,
Sanskrit and comparative philology,
with the sympathy and assistance of
some of the instructors in Modern
Languages.

Steinert Musical Scholarships.
A series of scholarships, established
last year by Mr. Morris Steinert of
New Haven for excellency in perform-
ing on the violin, the organ and the
piano, have been awarded for the first
time this year. These scholarships are
open to those taking courses in the
Musical Deoartment of the University.
Mr. Steinert, the founder, is well
known all over the country, especially
in the musical world, as being the
owner of the largest and most unique
collection of keyed and stringed in-
struments known either in this coun-
try or abroad. The collection was first
exhibited at the International Exposi-
tion for Music and Theatre at Vienna
in 1892 and again the following year
at the World’s Columbian Exposition.
Mr. Steinert has published an illus-
trated catalogue of his collection with
various treatises on their history, the
method of playing them and their in-
fluence on musical art. A few years
ago the collection was exhibited in
New Haven and a great deal of in-
terest was shown in it.
The trials for the Steinert violin
Scholarship were held Tuesday, Sep-
tember 29, in the College Street
Church. The scholarship was award-
ed to Miss Emma Spieske of Hartford,
who was formally a student in Berlin,
and shows excellent talent. A second
scholarship was awarded to Miss Belle
M. Sigourney of Bristol in considera-
tion of marked talent and _ general
ability. |
On Wednesday afternoon the trials
for the Organ Scholarship were held
in Battel Chapel. The successful can-
didate was William Woods Chandler,
who graduated from Yale in the class
of .*96, and who took a one year’s
Honor in the “Theory of Music,” at
the last Commencement. The judges
were: Professor Horatio W. Parker,
Professor Samuel Sanford and Mr.
Jepson. In awarding the prize, ac-
count was taken not only of the abil-
ity to perform, but also of the work
done during the last year in ‘‘Theory’”’
under Professor Parker. In all prob-
ability there will be no scholarship
awarded this year for work on the
piano.
