CHICAGO. Dec with the football
enthusiasm of Thanksgiving still strong
within them and angered because some OF
the professors at the University Of Chi
cago persisted in attempting to hold reci-
tations yesterday. contrary to the usual
custom at the university, about 200 stu
dents defied the authorities and broke up
all the classes.
They surged through Cobb Hall, burst
open doors and dragged out the students
who had gone into the recitation rooms.
For an hour the corridors OF the main reci-
tation building were filled with a shouting
throng, waving banners, and giving the
Chicago cheer over and over again. The
demonstration ended only when President
Harper appeared. During the rioting a
lot of furniture was destroyed and several
students were roughly handled.
The trouble began late in the morning
The crowd was composed mainly OF fresh
men and sophomores, with sprinkling Of
seniors. graduates. and divinity students
Most Of the professors yielded gracefully
and dismissed their classes, although some
were more obdurate and needed persuad-
ing. Chief among the latter was Prof J.
Laurence Laughlin, who was explaining
questions OF political economy to a large
class.
He paid no attention to the cheering Of
the crowd and the battering upon his door
The students surged against the two doors
on either side of the room shouting: Let
EN- out! Let 'em out! Let 'em out"'
The crowd finally burst open the doors,
and confronted Prof. Laughiin, who gazed
upon them with contempt. Not at all
abashed, the rioters gathered around him.

Expansion, EXPANSION"
All sorts of missiles whirled through the
air. Some struck the professor on the
head, but the latter cooIly began taking
the names of the leaders. Seeing this. sew
eral Of the students politely handed him
their cards. The arrival OF Flanagan, the
football player, made the noise greater.
At this juncture President Harper push
ed his way through the crowd and ordered
everyone down stairs. The students good
complied, and the riot was over.
