IN THE*NEW BOOK ROOM

Gordon at Kartoum, by Sir Wilfrid
Scawen Blunt, in continuation of A Secrel
History..of_.the_English Occupation _ of.
Egypt, is in the form of a diary kept by
the author during the time of which ‘he
writes. The period treated -here, between
1882 and 1886, is, says Sir Wilfrid, the
darkest in the whole: Anglo-Egyptian rec-
ord,-a monument. indeed. of perverse un-
wisdom recognized by all. To direct thosc
in power to adopt an attitude toward the
Mohammedan world less antagonistic than
in the past, and to makeelear how immense
a wrong was inflicted by the English mis-
management of affairs at Cairo, not only
on Egypt and the Upper Nile, but ‘on all
Mohammedan lands, is the purpose of this
book. Its author shows that European ac-
tion alone -was the initial cause of the
trouble, that the fanatical character of the
Soudanese revolt was-due solely to the in-
tervention of the Christian’ powers at
Cairo, and that its extent and violence were
increased by each successive, step of Eng-
dish intervention. He completely exoner-



ases Gordon, a man “of superlative moral

ey

merit,” for the failure of his fatal mission

to Kartoum. “My personal position,” says
Blunt, “was one singularly advantageous
for my present purpose of accurate narra-
tion... Occupying no official post, I found
myself a deeply interested spectator bhe-
hind the official scenes in London, as. well
as behind those of the Oriental world, . .
close enough» to the chief personages to
observe the details of their action, and in
near view of the machinery used for their
stage effects.”

The Menace of the Alumni.. Helen Sard
Hughes.

Colleges have escaped church and trustee
control, Miss Hughes feels, only to fall
into the hands of the alumni. There are
two kinds of alumni, those “who never tire
of rah-rahing to their -alma -mater, .and
partake heavily of the, joys of class re-
unions and the ‘simple’ stunts of Alumni
Day,” and those “who have until recently

functioned..chiefly in handsome subserip-

tions to various popular college causes. . .

when it conflicts with these.” Miss Hughes



to a memorial skating rink or a: set of
chimes rather than .to the endowment of
a professoria] chair.” ©The influence of
both. is “to encourage athletics and glorify
instruction

suggests two “cardinal virtues” which the
college graduate must acquire to change
this; “a mind alert to matters of educa-
tional import everywhere, and a spirit not
wise in its own conceit but quick*to give
support to the expert in education.”
