FOOTNOTES:

[1] A small Baptist college of the same name---established in 1855
on land given by S.A. Douglas--went out of existence in 1886.

[2] If, however, the total is reckoned on the basis of nine months
of residence the figure for 1907-1908 would be 3202.

[3] The Divinity School has a graduate department and three
under-graduate departments, doing work in English, in Danish and
Norwegian, and in Swedish. Allied with the Divinity School of the
University is the "Disciples' Divinity House" (1894), a theological
school of the Disciples of Christ.

[4] The words "founded by John D. Rockefeller" follow the title of
the university on all its letterheads and official documents. Mr
Rockefeller would not allow his name to be a part of the title, nor
has he permitted the designation of any building by his name.
President Harper was selected by him to organize the university, and
it was his will that the president and two-thirds of the trustees
should be "always" Baptists. President Harper more than once stated
most categorically that contrary to prevalent beliefs no donor of
funds to the university "has ever (1902) by a single word or act
indicated his dissatisfaction with the instruction given to students
in the university, or with the public expression of opinion made by
any officer of the university"; and certainly so far as the public
press reveals, no other university of the country has had so many
professors who have in various lines, including economics, expressed
radical views in public.

CHICANE, the pettifogging subterfuge and delay of sharp
law-practitioners, also any deliberate attempt to gain unfair advantage
by petty tricks. A more common English form of the word is "chicanery."
"Chicane" is technically used also as a term in the game of bridge for
the points a player may score if he holds no trumps. The word is French,
derived either from _chaug[=a]n_, Persian for the stick used in the game
of "polo," still played on foot and called _chicane_ in Languedoc (the
military use of _chicaner_, to take advantage of slight variations in
ground, suits this derivation), or from _chic_, meaning little or petty,
from the Spanish _chico_, small, which appears in the phrase "_chic a
chic_," little by little.
