Many struggling American artists
are indebted to Countess Gladys Van
derbilt Szecsenyi for timely help in
distant lands. Perhaps no case bet
ter illustrates her thoughtful and
kindly spirit in aiding her compatriots
than my own. After completing my
studies with Prof. Hubay, on giving
my debut concert, the Countess en
listed the vital interest of all the
members of the Ministry, diplomacy
and aristocracy in the first American
violinist to conertise in Budapest.
Just as I was about to step upon the
platform to open my program, her
cable from London was handed to me,
reading:
“I am certain of your artistic suc
cess. Allow me to assure the finan
cial success with one thousand
crowns.”
Her absolute faith in my ability,
coupled with the responsibility of be
ing the pioneer for the American
artist performing in Budapest, gave
me such great stimulus that I sur
passed myself beyond my wildest ex
pectations that night. My interpre
tations of the Hungarian and Slavic
compositions in particular won great
ovations from my elite audience, and
it was that very occasion which de
cided my chosen life work. The won
derful possibilities for individual in
terpretation in these powerful com
positions make them a fascinating
life study for me.
The above incident is only one
among many recorded to the
Countess’ credit. Countess Szecsenyi
has established a prestige in Hungary
for the American woman that will be
remembered long after the Vander
bilt millions have ceased to cause a
furore in the land of Magyars.

THE GOLF LINKS.
For several weeks past an epidemic
fever has been spreading slowly, but
ever increasingly, throughout the col
lege. There is a peculiar charac
teristic of the epidemic that individ
ualizes it from any other, namely,
that it has precipitated itself only on
the instructorial staff and their ap
pendages. The classical name for
this malady is “golf;” but the pro
vincial name is “cow-pasture pool.”
Credit is to be given to the few
members of the faculty who planned
and put into existence in such short
time this novel way to passing time
that would otherwise be a burden.
This aspect of the game does it no
way give it justice. Its chief function
is to some, pleasure, to a few, recrea
tion, and to others, exercise.
The links have been laid out under
the personal supervision of a golf ex
pert, and the excellent ones of Chi
cago have been duplicated as nearly
as possible in the college links. In
some unique ways the course here
outclasses the former. The many
natural hazards and the remarkable
speed of some of the greens make
the score of each hole uncertain to
the very brink of the cup.
Prof. Chastain (placing his hand on
Woody’s head)—I can tell by this
boy’s bumps in what state he was
born.
Woody—In what state, professor?
Prof. Chastain—In the state of ig
norance.
Mr. Bechert—Hemphill, what sort
of tooth curves have involute gear
teeth?
Hemphill — Hyperbolical and para
bolic, I think.
