THE DEVELOPING UNIVERSITY 469 Julius Rosenwald, 1912; Robert L. Scott, 1912; Harold H. Swift, 1914; Judge J. Otis Humphrey, of Springfield, Illinois, 1914; and Charles E. Hughes, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, 1914. Along with these lists there is one that occupies a unique place. That is the list of the men who were among those named as Trustees in the Certificate of Incorporation issued by the State of Illinois in 1890, and who were still Trustees twenty-five years later. These were Martin A. Ryerson, president of the Board from 1892, Charles L. Hutchinson, treasurer from the beginning, Andrew MacLeish, vice-president from 1894, Judge Frederick A. Smith, second vice- president from 1909, and Eli B. Felsenthal, who was chairman of the committee which reported the plan for the celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary. Thus these five veterans continued influentially active through this entire period, and at its close some of them had only reached the fulness of their powers and might be expected to give the University another quarter-century of service. From the beginning the Board of Trustees was an able, united body of men, devoted to the interests of the University, and gratuitously giving to it an amount and quality of service beyond praise. A little larger proportion of the original faculty remained in active service at the end of twenty-five years than of the Board of Trustees. Of the one hundred and twenty appointees on the faculty in 1891-92 thirty-five were still at work in 1915-16. Sixty- six had gone to other institutions or into other callings. Four had been retired. The services of fifteen had been cut short by death. Some of these fifteen were among the most eminent men in the faculty, including President Harper and five heads of departments : von Hoist, Whitman, Nef, Hulbert, and Northrup, and the Uni- versity Chaplain, Dr. Henderson. All these, and the hundreds of others who, as the University developed, came into the faculty, united to make it all that it came to be. Something of what that was felt to be in the faculty was voiced in the Convocation address of March, 1909, by Professor Paul Shorey. He spoke on "The Spirit of the University of Chicago." He said in one place: We have been styled a college made to order, or, more graciously, a uni- versity by enchantment But we to whom these buildings are but the
