CHAPTER XVI.
THE REAWAKENING.

The following summer was the begin
ming of a great epoch in the history of
the yeshiva, and also in the lives of all
Russian Jews. There was a reawaken-
ing-a resurrection. 50 to speak-of
the low-sunllen race. The flood CT en-
lightenment that streamed from
western lands swept even through the
Enclosures of the uncouth Ghettos.
That summer the broad-minded mon
arch, the emancipator of the peasants.
also showed his Willingness to liberate
the Jews His first step was to admit
them to schools from which they had
been barred. Hitherto the young peo-
pie had been restrained within by the
demoniac clutches of fanaticism and
without by the tyrannical hand Of the
Government. The announcement of the
relaxation of the latter flashed through
the dingy Jewries like a new light. The
yCang generation was dazzled with the
brilliancy Of the opportunities for en-
lightenment that had dawned upon
them. There was confusion in the
synagogues and uprising in the yes
hivas. Children ran away from their
fanatical PARENTS and young Talmud-
lists from their wives. Haskolol Has
kolo! (culture) became the cry of the
young.
Naturally the mashgiach and his
scouts" were now more active than
ever and kept closer watch over the
students on the suspected list"-a list
that included the very brightest stu
dents of the institution. 1t became a
daily occurrence to search students
rooms, break open their trunks, burn
their forbidden books, and expel

1 learned to sway myself backward and
forward and shout the Talmudic lore
at the top of my voice. by and by
even learned to condemn Rabbi Brill
for being henpecked. and his young
Wife for curtailing the students sti-
pends.
Ephraim was as commanding in this
great institution as he had been in that
dingy little Talmud- -Torah. Here, too,
he was the leading spirit. and was
hated by Rabbi Brill and the other
seminary Officials as he had been feared
by Shlomka GaZlen. Although the
school authorities knew that he was
violating every rule of the faculty, he
was never molested on that score.
But he frequently got himself into
trouble by taking the part of others.
\ few days before the elcse of the
winter semester the stipends of forty
five students were reduced twenty per
cent, and u number of students who
had been caught reading prohibited
books were given notice to resign.
Ephraim promptly took up the cause
of his unfortupate fellow students. He
openly condemned the actions of the
rosh-h SILVA and agitated fearlessly
among his classmates. The yeshiva
was in a state of uprising. Students
stood in groups about the campus. dis
cussing the state of affairs in excited
tones, hushing at the appearance of
Rabbi Brill and resuming as soon as
he was out of sight.

the hood, look at its lining, for there

itself in full. If the college has one
color, as the blue Of Yale or the ma
room of Chicago, the hood is
lined throughout with silk of that
color. If more than one color, as blue
and gold for California or orange and
black for Princeton, the hood lining is
of one color. with chevron of the other
color. If there are more than two coll
ors the double or treble chevron Is

kindred questions when answered

what degree ne holds.
There are three styles of gowns In
general use-the bachelors. the mas
ter's and the Doctors. All of the
American gowns are made Of black
woOien or silk material and, to the cas-
ual observer, the chief difference in ap-
pearance lies in shape Of the sleeves.
The bachelors gown, as worn by stu

sleeves. not unlike the angel sleeves of
cur grandmothers. The masters gown
has a long sleeve. reaching below the
knee. It is square at the end and has a
sickle sh5-ed curve at the back just
above the square end. The front of the
sleeve is closed, the arm coming

German universities do not use
hoods, neither do they. in our under
standing Of the term, have colOrs.
Their colors are those of the German
state in which the university is located.
At conference of professors, who
were graduates OF German universities,
held in Chicago in 1895, it was decided
that they would adopt the American
system of caps and gowns and hoods,
lining the hood with the appropriate
university color overlaid with a tri-
chevron of the German national colors,
black. white and red.
The leading German universities
are represented on American faculties
