The Foundation for Good University Wor k
By CARLTON E. SPENCE R
Registrar of the Universit y
E aPERIENCE shows that there is close relationshi pbetween a students high school record and his career incollege. It is a safe assumption that the good high school
student will make a good university student and that the poor
high school student will have difficulty with his college work.
There are exceptions, but universities and colleges are learning
that it is not safe to rely on them.
The old saying of the frontier horse-trader to the effec t
that if one buys a lame horse he may expect to have a lam e
horse seems to hold good. Even though he is assured that the
lameness is temporary only and that it can easily be cured ,
yet ifhe is gullible enough to take the risk, he has no one but
himself to blame if he is left with a worthless steed on hi s
hands
What PoorHigh School Records Produce
There are cases of students with poor high school records
who have been admitted to the university on the strength of
assurances from parents, teachers, alumni, friends and the ap-
plicants themselves that they were capable of carrying an d
would carry university work successfully and that the hig h
school record was not a fair indication of their ability . Ye t
time after time, when at the end of the term, the lists o f
failures and probationers are compiled, the names of thes e
students appear, and so frequent are such cases that th e
exceptional ones, where the students are able to overcome the
handicap of lack of preparation, are quite overshadowed.
In many cases the high school student seriously resolves to
turn over a new leaf when he comes to college. He feels, whil e
in high school, that his work there will not make much dif-
ference-he will get by as easily as possible and begin ane w
with his college course. But he cannot begin anew. His hig h
school work is the foundation and on that foundation must hi
university career stand or fall .
Why Scholarly Count
Almost every high school student has the ability to make
good. It is not a matter of brilliancy or superior mental ca-
pacity but of simply plugging away, getting each day lesson
thoroughly as it comes
dent should begin at the outset of his high school course to lay
a foundation of scholarly habits and training.
In addition to the quality of his work the prospective uni-
versity student should make sure that it is along the right lines.
Entrance requirements are uniform throughout the colleges an
universities of Oregon to the extent that all institutions requir
fifteen units, of which ten must be in English, mathematics,
history, science and languages y
carried through one year n
with the school of business administration

Electives S

Total is
In many cases it is desirable that the electives also be wholly
or partly in the required subjects. For example, students i n
architecture, science, pre-engineering, etc. should have addi-
tional work in mathematics. If possible, the student shoul d
have four in English, more than two in languages, and more
than one in history and science.
The school of business administration admits students upon
fulfillment of the regular entrance requirements as outline d
above, or with the following units : Seven in the prescribe d
subjects (English, mathematics, history, science and languages)
and eight from acceptable electives, provided at least four of
them arein commercial subjects.
Student Activities Yield no Credi
No entrance credit is granted for drill, physical training ,
spelling, penmanship, or for work which may be classed a s
largely or purely a student activity
In exceptional cases applicants are sometimes admitted a
special students l
student must be at least twenty-three years of age and mus
file credentials proving to the Dean and to the Registrar that
lie is qualified to carry the special lines of work he desiresA
special student is never granted a degree w
out of the fact that experience has taught that rare instance
only can a person without good high school preparation carr
university work successfully
A student who has done good work in the college prepara-
tory course of a standard high school will have the foundatio
for college work.
Uniform entrance blanks have been adopted, thus making the hig h
school principalswork much easier in connection with the certification of
students to higher institutions . The one form of blank applies to al l
institutions
At Dartmouth students will no longer be readmitted who
have once flunked out. Study there has shown that the re -
admitted student seldom makes good. Dartmouth has mor e
applicants for admission than it can accept and is now con-
sidering only the upper third in scholarship .
In conformity with the rule stated above, Oregon requires
the following distribution:
Getting this picture of the Univer . of Oregon school of music was a feat ; I t

feat was accomplished by Asarcl h airbaoks of the faculty in architecture and allie d
arts, whose artistic studies of the Oregon campus have been attracting attention .

not been completed because of shortage of foods . A gift of $e5,000 would complet e

ing utrld then be wholly efficient . The further wing of the building is devoted
to practice rooms, teache rs,studios, classrooms, and so on .

University . Day and What You Ar e
to Do About I t
S TATE-WIDE University Day is seven years old thi sspring. On this day, or some day very near, Orego npeople in every community in the state make a concerted
effort to let high school students know of the educationa l
advantages the University has to offer.
The date this year is April 4, during spring vacation at the
University.
University Day is no hit-or-miss proceeding . Chairme n
are appointed in each community; and the principal of th e
high school is told the chairman name and requested to allo
the courtesies of a high school assembly at which Orego n
graduates or former students speak. The chairman is pro-
vided with this issue of OLD OREGON, which contains late in-
formation on all the departments of the University . H e
organizes his speakers and is responsible for the impression o
Oregon that is made on the community
Alumni are requested to phone their chairman or other -
wise get in touch with him. He may not know exactly wh o
the Oregon alumni in his community are.
It should he no great ordeal for an Oregon graduate t o
submit himself to a personal interview with an interestedhigh
school student r
the alumnus is aware of the latest developments in his depart-
ment at the University. He should post himself by readin g
"Talking Points about the Departments" is this issue.
Directions to chairmen:
1. Get in touch with the principal of your high school ,
who has been told that you are to act as University day chair-
man, and arrange the date for an assembly.
2. Arrange for a meeting of alumni in your community .
Do this through the officers of your county association if you
have one e
the form of a luncheon, appoint your speakers for the hig h
school assembly
3. Make sure your speakers are to be present and that the
will not refuse at the last moment to talk i
to attend, for good company if not to speak .
4. Keep this copy of OLD OREGON for reference. If yo u
need other information about the University, write promptly
to the Registrar. He can supply you in time .

Eurross NoTe-At the suggestionof Ow Osxcoa several alumnihavewritten
in as to the value they set on student activities. The question ispertinent at this time because student elections are approaching, bringing
acutely to many students the question whether act pay. Alumnwere asked
to base their answers on their experiences since leaving .
Alumnus A was student president and participated in de -
bate. Gym class basketball was his only contribution t o
athletics. He writes :
"Above all, it is important to discourage all those wh o
contemplate entering important school activities purely fo r
selfish purposes. To serve the student body must be th e
motive dominating every student who accepts a position o f
responsibility in the student body .
"Most work done for the student body pays . It is a
good thing for the student body and a good thing for th e
participants. The good derived naturally varies in differen t
activities and with different students . It is not necessar y
to point out that a prospective newspaper man, for instance ,
gains valuable experience from work on student publica-
tions; nor that one who eventually goes into work requirin g
public speaking is benefitted by work in debating . Th e
good derived from even these direct benefit activities ma y
occasionally be exaggerated ; but it is no exaggeration t o
say that they are clearly worth while .
"I intentionally pass over any mention of the advantage s
to be gained from participation in athletics, not becaus e
there is doubt as to its value but because gym class basket -
ball scarcely qualifies one to speak on this subject .
"Does the administrative and executive work connecte d
with the student body payl Here more than in othe r
branches of student activity we want only students wh o
are willing to work and work hard . But if such a studen t
puts serious work on such a position there is no doubt bu t
that he not only will be rendering the school a service bu t
will himself profit from his efforts . It is no argumen t
against such activities that the benefit derived is indirec t
only; the benefit derived from all education is indirect .
Nor is the fact that such students are not uniformly suc-
cessful in business or professional life by any means a
conclusive argument. We learn before . we have been ou t
of college many years that the standards set up for succes s
in business and professional life differ widely from thos e
set up for student leaders . This argument also is fully a s
potent when applied to education in general .
"The student who can swing an unwilling majority o n
the student council will not ipso facto be able to swing a
board of directors of a corporation in the same manner .
But he is nevertheless developing to some extent the quali-
ties which will enable him to do so . And even if he fail s
in his efforts among the students, he will, if he emerge s
from the conflict still retaining the respect of his fellows ,
learn much that will some day aid him . To have the re-
sponsibility of carrying out important undertakings is some -
thing that students may have to wait many years for afte r
leaving college . Nor does it detract in the least from th e
benefit to be derived from such responsibility in college tha t
the undertakings may be important only from a studen t
standpoint.
"When we have said this much we have said it all ; w e
can not only not avoid generalities, but as applied to indi-
vidual eases we must even indulge in probabilities . Severa l
years ago the writer-in the interest of 100 per cent Ameri-
canism-induced the students at Oregon to permit him to as-
sume the responsibilities of student body president (thi s
is mentioned at the request of the alumni secretary) . H e
would find it difficult to point out the precise persona l
benefits, if any there are, derived therefrom . But it woul d
be still more difficult to isolate and examine the lastin g
benefits derived from a study of Spanish, English literature ,
or even the principles of economics, for reasons already indi-
cated. The average alumnus . who took part in studen t
activities did so partly because he enjoyed it, partly becaus e
`doing something for Oregonwas part of his creed. The
friendships he made in so doing amply repay him ; he eve n
feels repaid by such an intangible thing as emories ; 
and he feels more or less sure that he benefitted otherwise ."
Alumnus B was a debater and a member of the executiv e
council. The second and third paragraphs of his letter ar e
inure general than the editor intended, but since the view i s
a little non-conventional it is presented for its interest .
"1 suppose the desirability of activities can best b e
judged in terns of their purpose, or purposes . Probabl y
there is no question as to the need for avenues of self -
expression, and the paving of avenues seems to be on e
of the purposes of activities . A tug-of-war, a song feet ,
a gridiron contest, a committee meeting now and then, a n
hour exercise on the diamond or even the golf course, al l
seem convenient forms of expression . One can hardly b e
expected to spend fourteen hours a day preparing fo r
future self-expression; that would be an unreasonable dis-
count of the present, and most folks would die in the ef-
fort anyhow, and it would serve them right . So littl e
gratifications of impulses to action are probably highl y
desirable.
"But of course, for real self-expression very little stimu-
lus is necessary, and when our activities take on the por-
tentous magnitude of intercollegiate contests-backed b y
others than participants-there seems to be involved some -
thing besides spontaneous outbursts of energy . We ar e
organized on a commercial basis, it would seem, to sel l
the school to prospective students, reluctant tax-payers, an d
possible employers whom we delude ourselves into believin g
will sometime be concerned with our sheepskins . The ques-
tion of activities, in their intercollegiate aspect, evidentl y
amounts chiefly to a weighing of the results of advertis-
ing the school .
"To me, this advertising seems similar to, if not a par t
of, the old mereantilistic policy which neglects the law o f
diminishing returns, implies that there is some mysteriou s
advantage in numbers, and proposes the size of the organi-
zation as the measure of greatness rather than the welfar e
of the individuals concerned . Mereantilistic superstitio n
still pervades the country (the world, one would better say )
and subtly influences public opinion . We catch the spiri t
as part of our tradition . A populous state such as th e
Oregon Board of Immigration seems determined on, or a n
overflowing school such as is fostered by most reate r
Oregonpropaganda, seems to be merely a side-light o n
the general fetish for numbers ; and because of the sanctio n
of custom we are let to the advertising that intercollegiat e
athletics gives ."
Alumnus C apologizes for mentioning all his activities, but
his letter takes point from the number and kind of them . H e
also remarks parenthetically that he doesn see how there ca n
he any question about the matter of activities .
"During my four years of college, I was on the gle e
club, the debating team, the baseball team, and in additio n
had a lot of fun in student politics . I served as presiden t
in my class, president of the associated students, and a s
head of my fraternity as well as being active in . a number
of other organizations and committees .
"I probably gave as much time to student activities a s
anyone who has attended Oregon in recent years, and di d
not find it necessary to neglect scholarship in order to con-
tinue these activities . I have always felt that scholarshi p
should be the first consideration and have never seen an y
reason why any student of average intelligence should not
be able to maintain a good average degree of scholarship ,
provided, he gave his work the attention and enthusias m
it deserved . My observation has been that the poor stu-
dents would be poor students anyway, regardless of th e
interest taken in student activities, because the same dispo-
sition that caused a lack of interest in the affairs of fellow

students caused a lack of interest in studies and in rea
purposes of a University
"Nothing in my college experience gave me as greatpleasure or has proven of such great value in business a
sthe development resulting from college activities,
"It did more to develop what little personality I have
and to teach me how to meet and understand people tha
anything . If I were to go through college again, I
would do exactly as I did with possibly one exception t
exception would be more attention to my health and physi-cal condition. I always enjoyed good health and neve
rsuffered from overwork; but I could have very materially
increased my efficiency by having some good competenphysician give me a thorough examination at least once
ayear and give more attention to the care of my eyes and
my diet."In
picking college men and women, practically ever
business man today tries to get those who have shown th
qualities of leadership while in college"
Alumnus D was president of the associated students, joint
winner of the Failing prize, three years on the Emerald staff,
member of four honor societies and a social fraternity, mem-
ber of the Y . M. C . A . cabinet and class debate teams, and
assistant editor of the Oregana. He earned his way throug h
college :
"Personally I consider my undergraduate participatio
in college as of as much value as any 20 credits I have i
my favor on the Registrar records.
"There is a limit to such activities. That limit depend
upon three things . If he is of th e
high-pressure sort he can engage in more activities than one
not so favorably endowed t
the students prominent in college activities accomplish mor
both for themselves, the college and in their studies tha
does the slick-haired devotee of lounging places e
course he is taking
lastic achievement . A student
may determine for himself by his scholastic standing whetheor not he is over-engaging in college activities
.
"In the foregoing, it has been assumed that the courspursued is an undergraduate, non-professional course
. I nthe case of graduate or professional courses, I believe there
should be but little attention to college activities. One s
business should be principally business e
at the leading professional schools."

Mary Spiller Scholarshi p
EDITOR'S NOTE-Because some alumnae of the State University see m
unaware of the existence of an Oregon Alumnae association
bers are women only, and because many high school girls do not kno w
of the Mary Spiller scholarelop . the followingmaterial is at this tim e
especially pertinent
D R. LUELLA CLAY CARSON, then dean of women, sug-gested in 1907 the organization of an Oregon alumna e
association, and at her earnest solicitation Jennie Harris, 6
gathered a group of alumnae together and formed the stat e
association . Ellen Condon McCornack, 8, was elected
its first president. Its business, from the first, was the Mary
Spiller scholarship, and of the benefits of this scholarship an
the work of the woman for whom it was founded, later ac -
count will be found in this article.
Mrs. Harris is now secretary-treasurer of the association.
In 1919 when she was first elected to this office, she foun d
the treasury within $1 . The following yea r
the constitution was changed so as to make the office a five-
year term and Mrs. Harris was reelected to maintain it. How -
ever, during all the years from 1907 to the present, Mrs s
has worked for and contributed toward the scholarship
The Mary Spiller Scholarship perpetuates, on the Univer-
sity of Oregon campus, the memory of Mary Spiller, the first
woman member of the faculty of the University .
Mary Putnam- Boise Spiller lived in Baton Rouge, La .,
until the close of the civil war when her husband, a wealthy
planter, passed away h
her parents, she came to Oregon in 1875 to be with her brother,
Judge Boise, who had come to Salem in 1852. In 1877 sh e
began teaching in the University of Oregon as principal o f
the preparatory department and professor of elocution, and
held the position until 1887 ,
both Mrs. Spiller s children passed away, Boise, the son, at
the age of 19 years and Reubena, the daughter, at the age of
24 years r
from Wellesley. Mrs . Spiller passed away in Eugene Sep-
tember 2, 1901
Mary Spiller Hall, named to perpetuate Mrs . Spiller s
memory, was built in 1908, according to a plan of housing wo-
men students in cottages. The plan was later revised and a
large dormitory, Hendricks Hall, was built .
The organizers of the State Alumnae association, ignorant
of the fact that the Board of Regents had named the cottage
6

OLD OREGO N
Mary Spitler hall, decided to found a scholarship to keep alive
on the Oregon campus the name of this pioneer woma n
educator
Mary Spiller Hall seems destined, in time, to vanish from
the campus. The scholarship would have vanished severa l
years ago but for the valiant work of some of the members of
the association. Out of the several thousand women who have
graduated from Oregon, 117 have paid dues in the Stat e
Alumnae association to June, 1923. Seventeen have paid i n
advance-one member has paid six years in advance and that
member lives in Alaska.
The treasurer has also received dues from a member i n
Honolulu. Twenty-nine send in dues from different parts o f
the United States, outside of Oregon. This figures out abou t
135paying members. This number of women, paying $1 .00
each, would have paid the Scholarship when it was firs t
awarded in 1912; for ten years ago, room and board at Mary
Spiller ball was only $135 per year . But with advancin g
prices, room and board at Hendricks hall in 1922-23 is more
than double that sum. For September, 1921, to June, 1922, the
scholarship (room and board at Hendricks hall for the col-
lege year) amounted to $272 .
The scholarship is awarded each year on or before June 1,
for the following college year, September to June . It is a
gift the first year . If the same young woman receives th e
award more than one year, it is a loan each year thereafter ,
the loan to be repaid, without interest, as soon as the bene-
ficiary is able to pay it .

Talking Points About the Department s
) as NoTr-Below are assembled "talking points" about thedepart-ments at the
University . The material ie preparedin the offices of th e
heads of departments,and is the most authentic information that can begiven. Check
these facts againstyour memory of Oregon and note the
growth and new facilities, Be sure you are posted as to theseimprove-ments
before you give out information tohighschool students. Write to
the Registrar, University of Oregon, for information in regard to th edepartments of German, Greek, history, mathematics, and political science
,which are not covered
here.
ARCHITECTUR E
The school of architecture and allied arts at the University o f
Oregon is one of the fourteen schools in the country that consti-
tute the Collegiate Schools of Architecture . Other members inelude
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard, Cornell, Syracuse ,
Pennsylvania, California and Illinois .
The school offers courses in architectural design and engineer-
ing, painting, sculpture, Normal art and history of art . It i s
intended to prepare students who wish to become architects, struc-
tural engineers, contractors, painters, illustrators, cartoonists ,
sculptors, teachers of art, decorators and designers in industria l
arts such as dressmaking, book-making and the creation of textiles,
pottery and stained glass .
The faculty includes a dean who is a practicing architect, an d
nine other persons of efficiency and distinction . One of them wo n
medals in stained glass work at the Chicago exposition . Anothe r
was an exhibitor of sculpture at the Salon, Paris .
The work in architectural design, which is judged by a jur y
of Oregon architects, has won highest awards in New York at th e
Beaux Arts institute of design .
Students compete - for awards of various sorts . Medals are of-
fered by both the national Institute of American Architects and b y
the Oregon chapter of this body .
This year majors in architecture number 47 ; majors in fin e
arts, 42 ; and Normal art majors 46 ; total 135 .
Student activities in the school of architecture center around -
three clubs : the Architectural club, the Sculpture society, an d
The StudentsArt League ..

BUSINESS ADMINISTRATIO N
The school of business administration recognizes that the law s
which determine sound business administration are capable o f
scientific study and class room analysis in much the same manne r
as are the principles underlying legal procedure, medicine an d
engineering. The primary object of the school is to teach th e
managerial aspects of business . The end sought is to turn ou t
graduates who will be capable of occupying executive and adminis-
trative positions and who will become business leaders .
Specialized training is given in the following fields :
Professional Accounting

Business Administration and
Foreign Trade

Household Art s
Marketing and Selling

Chamber of Commerc e
Finance

General Business
Transportation

Combined La .w-Commerce
The work is so arranged that throughout his entire four o r
six years, as the case may be, the student has a place in his sched-
ule for work in liberal arts, economics and law, in addition to hi s
required business administration studies .
The curricula are so arranged that the needs of three classe s
of students are met : (1) those who can remain but one or tw o
years, (2) those who have no further plans than a four year course ,
(3) those who are looking forward to graduate work in the fift h
and sixth years .
The degree of bachelor of business administration or the degre e
of bachelor of arts is granted to those successfully completin g
four yearsundergraduate work ; and the degree of master o f
business administration is granted to those successfully complet-
ing graduate work .
CHEMISTR Y
The teaching staff in the department of chemistry this yea r
consists of four men of professional rank, two graduate fellows ,
as well as a number of student assistants . Professor O . F .
Stafford is again active as director of departmental activities ,
having returned from his four years leave of absence in time t o
resume work at the beginning of the fall term . The other thre e
members of the full time staff are Dr . F . L . Shinn, Dr . R . J .
Williams, and Mr . H . G . Tanner .
Dr. Shinn has been associated with the department for a grea t
many years and was acting head of the department during Pro-fessor Stafford absence
. Dr . Williams came to the departmen t
three years ago from his graduate work in the University o f
Chicago and from the laboratories of the Fleischmann Yeast com-
pany. Mr . Tanner, a graduate of Cornell, came to Oregon fro m
southern California where he was engaged in governmental re -
search work connected with the utilization of Pacific Coast kelp .
The chemistry department has for some time been compelled t o
do its work in quarters altogether too small for good results . A
certain amount of relief will be obtained during the third ter m
of the present year, however, by the completion of the McClur e
Hall annex, half of which will be available for the uses of thi s
department. With the larger amount of space to available fo r
laboratory purposes it will be possible to re-establish the labora-
tory courses in physical chemistry and advanced inorganic chem-
istry which of late simply could not be given because of lack o f
room. Full time work in some other laboratory courses also wil l
be resumed, it having been necessary in some instances to curtai l
the amount of laboratory work normally given with the course s
in order to give every student a chance at the laboratory durin g
this period idhen space has been altogether inadequate for regula r
operation.
Departmental equipment is increasing as rapidly as circum-
stances will permit and at the present time every essential fo r
instruction in the fundamental branches of chemistry is available .
Insofar as possible the needs for advanced work are cared for .also.
A gift or two from outside sources has helped to provide equip-
ment for certain advanced work and in this connection the re -
search fund of the University has been drawn upon to facilitat e
working equipment for projects of a strictly research character .
Library facilities for work in chemistry are very good a t
the University and in keeping with past policy additions to th e
material on hand will be made constantly . It is the purpose t o
provide all of the more important new books and current periodi-
cals and at the same time complete the files of the principa l
chemical journals as rapidly as may be .
DRAMA AND THE SPEECH ART S
To qualify for a place in the University Company is the goa l
of every student in the department of drama and the speec h
arts. Beginning with courses in voice-production and the employ-
ment of cultural English and continuing through gesture, plat -
form technique, bodily and mental rhythmics, character analysis ,
dramatization, play production, costume and scene design, elec-
trical and mechanical effects in a word, stagecraft in general ,
the student is led to a realization of the responsibility involve d
in the actual work of acting .
The Company is a selected group of students chosen carefull y
from among the applicants who have fulfilled the requirement s
of the preparatory classes . It is a compact working machine ,
whose parts have become used, through two years of initiation, t o
working harmoniously.
Ten plays a year-with several performances of each-ar e
given publicly and under professional conditions . The Univer-
sity has its own theatre, equipped with box office, property an d
costume rooms, dressing and rehearsal quarters .
The department aids the high schools of the state (and of othe r
states) in choosing plays, advises on productions and gives a
general high school drama service .
Oregon is unique among universities in the place it has give n
in its curriculum to the acted drama . So far as is known, it wa s
the first to offer credit for such work . Its little theatre, Guil d
hall, has few rivals .

THE ENGLISH DEPARTMEN T
The aim of the English department is not static but dynami c
knowledge. It does not aim primarily to impart information con-
cerning either literature or the craftsmanship of writing . It aim s
instead to develop power-power of judgment and power o f
expression.

OLD OREGO N
An interior at the Delta Zeta house, women national. This ver y
good Iookinp room may bring hack memories to many a Beta .
And it should,this tieing the former Beta house onTwelfth street.
Beta Theta Pi is now housed on Alder street, at Fifteenth .
Literature is regarded as a record of life . The individua l
can learn from his own experience . But literature gives him i n
drama, lyric, novel and essay the condensed experience of man y
men and many women. From books properly selected and inter-
preted he can learn more in one year of college than could b e
learned in ten lifetimes from personal experience . The difficult y
is the same that is met with in experience-to grasp the fact s
presented, to distinguish clearly the distortion of facts throug h
passion or prejudice in the actors, to analyze character and de-
termine motive, in short to exercise and develop insight, sympathy 
and judgment . The advantage lies in two things, first that th e
experience and conduct of humanity can here be more dispas-
sionately examined than when the student is himself one of th e
doers and sufferers whose case is to be analyzed, and second i n
the aid and guidance afforded by instructors who are devotin g
their lives to such work, controlled and checked by the verdicts o f
the other students in the class in each case.
This aim demands a particular method, of course, that of ful l
class discussion in which all are free to join, and an avoidance b y
the instructor, not only of the dogmatic tone, but of the dog-
matic type of thinking . The desire to know the truth must pre-
vail at all times, and the instructor must be one obviously open -
minded, and ready at all times to welcome new light and to revis e
judgment accordingly . If, under the leadership of such instruc-
tors, whom the English department of the University of Orego n
has been at some pains to supply, the students can learn to b e
fair-minded, sympathetic and just judges of the problems of life ,
one half of the objective of the English department has bee n
attained.
The development of judgment cannot go on without the presen-
tation of the facts upon which judgment is to be based . Rene e
a large amount of information is incidentally supplied, in course s
covering English literature from Beowulf down through Chaucer ,
Spenser, Shakespeare, Milton, Runyan, Wordsworth ; the novel-
ists, like Dickens . Scott and Mark Twain ; the essayists lik e
Carlyle, Ruskin, and Emerson, down to the more powerful voice s
among the writers of the present day in England and America .
And any misleading bias which might lie in traditional prejudic e
in the literature of a single race is checked by two year-course s
in world literature, covering the literary record of the human min d
of the world, from the literatures of China, japan, India an d
Persia, through the literature of Greece and Rome and medieva l
Europe, again down to the present day .
In the written English courses, on the other hand,and in th e
written and spoken English courses, the department aims to de-
velop in the student the power to use the English language wit h
ease and accuracy in the particular field in which each studen t
proposes to use it . For the student who desires to enroll in th e
lists of authorship there are cmirees in short story writing, pla y
writing, magazine writing, and the writing of verse . Mone y
returns are an unsatisfactory criterion of literary value, but take n
for what it is worth, the fact that a considerable number of stu -
dents in these classes have sold and are selling what they writ e
is a certain measurable indication of the practical success of thi s
side of the department work .
The great majority of the students in the University, how-
ever, do not expect to be literary men . For these, the aim of the
department is to aid them in developing power of expression i n
their own fields-to aid the lawyer in the formulation of hi s
brief, the physician in the report of his clinical experience, th e
business man in his report to his board of directors, the geologis t
in the report of his investigations, the married woman in her
paper for the Parent-TeachersAssociation . The department i s
undergoing reconstruction on this side, to conform with ne w
faculty legislation, and a fuller statement can be made anothe r
year.  r
 
r
EDUCATION
Eleven members of the faculty devote themselves to the profes-
sional work of the school of education . Eight members of othe r
departments offer additional professional courses for teachers .
The entrance requirements are the same as for entrance t o
other departments of the University : 15 units, including require d
subjects as follows : English, 3 ; algebra, 1 ; history, 1 ; laboratory
science, 1; one foreign language, 2 .
The regular courses for teachers, with the exception of music ,
are four years in length .
Graduates of standard normal schools are given junior stand-
ing if they have spent four years in high school and two in normal .
A. small amount of credit is allowed for teaching experience of a t
least three consecutive years .
The school has an appointment bureau for its students an d
graduates, filling an average of more than a hundred positions a
year. Its services are free after an initial registration fee of $1 .
For teacher training and for the working out of educationa l
problems the school of education maintains a University hig h
school with a course of six years . It is the most complete uni-
versity high school on the Pacific coast, and students have an op-
portunity of seeing there some of the best specimens of educa-
tional work done .
To meet the demand of city school systems for teachers traine d
for the examination of defective and delinquent children the Uni-
versity school of education has for some years been giving specia l
work.
From sixty to ninety high school teachers are graduated eac h
year from the University .
GEOLOGY
The department of geology has been reorganized to meet th e
requirements of the pre-engineering department recently estab-
lished by the University . A prescribed curriculum has bee n
adopted and new courses are being announced . These include a
course adapted to the engineer, a course concerned with strati -
graphic geology, and a course in assaying . Several courses in
paleontology and historical geology are being developed to sup -
port these new courses.

The Oregon basketball team ended its
season at Salem, February 27 with a
61 to 20 victory over the Willamett e
tossers f
15 games and left Oregon in fifth plac e
in the northwest conference and in th e
cellar position of the northern branch of
the Pacific coast conference.
Starting with an early season for m
which swept all opposition efore it ,
the Oregon varsity hit a slump afte r
losing to Washington, 34 to 32, in th e
final five seconds of play ; after tha t
the. team showed its original brillianc e
only in the two games wrested from O .
A. C. on the Eugene armory floor. Dur-
ing the first two games with the Aggie s
at Corvallis practically the entire tea m
was on the hospital list with a ligh t
form of "flu" which swept the campus ,
and it was also a worn and sick tea m
which dropped a slow, ragged contes t
to Washington State in Eugene a fe w
nights later.

intercollegiate golf tourney in Portland
if the executive committee passes favor
ably upon a proposal to this end. Wash-

ing the establishment of competitionbe-
tween college golf teams and suggesting
tournament between the two institution
to be held in Portland . A class in gol f
offered by the department of physica l
education is proving very attractive .
ReducesTrack Training Monotony
Coach Bill Hayward has planned a n
elaborate program of inter-class cross -
country races and track and field meets
to be held on Saturdays during the com-
ing month to break the monotony o f
training for 75 or more varsity squa d
members and freshmen reporting fo r
track practice.
Prospects for strong teams appea r
bright now and more men are turnin g
out for early practice than ever before .
With weather conditions favorable an d
with Bill new cinder track, Orego n
track athletes are afforded a much bet -
ter opportunity of doing early seaso n
work than in former years.
Kappa Sigma and Phi Gamma Delt a
fraternities are leading in the doughnut

A. C. Dixon was born in Illinois and cam e
to Oregon with his mother when he wa s
fourteen. His high school work was don e
at Ashland, after which he went to Orego n
Normal school. He had cherished an inter-
est in law, but on finishing his colleg e
work he returned to Ashland in 1893 to g o
into the lumber business with his mother .
Later he went into manufacturing under th e
firm name of Hicks and Dixon . In 189 9
he moved to Grants Pass and became as-
sociated with the Sugar Pine Door and Lum-
ber company, of which company R . A .
Booth was then active head . The acquaint-
anceship and association then formed stil l

Drinks and Conspiracy Forbidde n
The University historian recently dis-

1882 for the governing of students . On e
provided that no student should enter a
brewery or saloon . Another forbade th e
drinking of intoxicating liquors while at -
tending the University or while journeyin g
to or from it, except on the prescription o f
of physician . A third rule prohibited a
student from conspiring against the govern-
ment and control of the faculty, as an in-
dividual, as a member of a class, or as a
member of a literary society .

Charles FT. Fisher .
Charles H . Fisher, editor of the Eugen e
Guard, attended the University in the days
of the Laurean Literary society, of whic h
he was a prominent member . Graduatin g
he became editor of the Umpqua Herald ,
published at Oakland . After two years h e
went to Roseburg, where he became one o f
the proprietors of the Roseburg Herald, on e
of the first semi-weeklies in the state . I t
was in this early part of his career tha t
he did his best work, Mr . Fisher says .
In 1896 he went to Boise to better hi s
health, but fell promptly into work again ,
starting the Evening Capital News . Im-
proved in health he sold both the Rosebur g
and Boise papers and purchased the Eu-

until he bought the Salem Capital Journal .
After some years he again bought the Guard ,
putting his interests in charge of J . E .

Lucile Bryan Gilmore has established at Berea College ,
Kentucky, the Hinton Gilmore scholarship fund . She ha s
done this to perpetuate the memory of Hinton Gilmore, he r
husband, a young fellow of literary promise whose career was
stopped by death in 192L
Harry Hansen, commenting in the Chicago News on Mrs.
Gilmore efforts to earn the necessary money, says : "W e
have stood before Tennyson slab in the abbey, before Ibsen
granite plinth; we have seen the wind stir the violets on th e
grave of Keats in Rome . But we believe this scholarship i s
one of the finest monuments to a literary man that we know
of."
There are youngmen and women from Oregon whos e
careers have been cut off untimely. Are there to be no livin g
monuments to them?
The Man Who Was Sustaine d
The practice of flowers afterward has been universall
condemned by the sentimentalists They overlook one good
point: better flowers afterwards than not at all . Flower s
stand for something, though they stand late.
Now that President Campbell and those nearest himhave
weathered through the fierce tropical storms of the legis-
lature; now that between growth and futility the balance i s
no longer tipping ; now is the time to say that so far as Ore-
gon is concerned, before the state and all other institutions o
learning, Oregon has what it wants in its president . Ther e
may be more famous educators, but are there greater me n
for the niche they occupy I
We advance and say this, late, but firmly .
Bearers of flowers are never disturbed by the multi-
tudinous presence of other flower bearers.
Call The Docto r
It is not true that a student can find anything he want s
in college life by hunting for it . His perspective is not grea t
and his hopefulness wanes soon o
the classical haunts looking for bread m
pastry seems served exclusively, and presently they quit hunt-
ing and subside onto the artificial, the superficial, the whirli-
gig, or whatever other name their disappointment calls it .
They feel, even more seriously than their elders, tha t
success demands making the right choices t
know, being unpracticed, that if first offerings are declined ,
something else may be brought in.
Oregon draws a crop of hopefuls every year from othe r
universities e
was too one-phased. They come from the big ones wher e
only the powerful are slated to survive. If at Oregon, prope r
sized for individual development yet with a good choice of
fields, they are confronted by a life so full of froth that th e
essentials are seldom glimpsed and never gripped, they turn
away again.
The Oregon faculty has administered bad doses of medicin
in its time. Perhaps it will presently end its large maunder-
ings about curing the college of the St. Vitus dance in which
it is now writhing and do something.
In a Canadian Mirro r
The opinion entertained by the Canadian college graduate
of American football is interestingly disclosedin the following
comment from the University of Toronto Monthly:
". . . we do not wish to grow into the state of affair s
as seen at American colleges ` e
used to describe the universities, `football madto describ e
their graduates. A man entering his second year at Harvar d
worked all summer as a navvy digging ditches, in order t o
be in condition for the football season . How much readin g
would he do in the evenings With their tremendous crowds,
their minutely detailed system of play, their advisory an d
special coaches, their training tables, and team quarters, the
make of their football a business and a bigger business than
any other side of the University ."

man building than by anything else, and it is amazing t o
see the throngs that flow in and out of that structure fro m
before eight in the morning until eleven at night. The build-
ing sees constant use six days a week n
the seventh, part of the day .
Yet with such steady occupancy, all seems as brisk, a s
clean, and as well appointed as the day this building, the gift
of so many friends, was dedicated . Credit for the super b
condition of things should go to many; but in no small measure
it should go to the thrift, good management, and jealou s
attention of Mrs. Elizabeth Wilson, hostess.
If a Horse is Presented U s
Having a calm faith that they will be remembered whe n
needed, most Oregon alumni will not begin getting excited over
the proposal to put one or more additional alumni members on
the executive council. However, they will be appreciative i f
the movement goes through
As writers in the Oregon Emerald have pointed out wit h
some delicacy, the alumni of the University have not bee n
encouraged to feel that their advice is of value .
But even belated consideration is never scorned by the Ore-
gon alumnus, no matter how long he has been wined away on
the shelf. He was never given to criticizing gifts .
New Spring Resolution s
Jewels from the tomb of a desiccated king are as valuable
as the day they were put away with him . But sentiment s
lose in value with age and call for frequent regilding an d
renewing.
Ten years ago, maybe twenty and`thirty years ago, college
damsels took resolutions that their escorts must not feel the
delicate necessity of sending them bouquets and transporting
their charming persons to dances in taxicabs-or hired bug-
gies, as the ease was
Yet today these resolutions are valueless and more must be
made
The constant in the case is the elegant grace with whic h
college men accept these heroic proposals.
Carefree Youth .
Whose is Oregon
Oregon is the property of the great middle class, says one.
Oregon is the property of any who can pay the registratio n
fees and make the scholastic grade, says one more litera l
minded
Oregon is usually thought to be the property of a reason-
ably light-hearted, reasonably hard-working, loyal-spirited and
not unfortunate student. Perhaps be works a few hours a
week at reasonable remuneration to eke out an allowance. But
hungry, nearly barefoot, a perfect stranger to social divert-
isements most modest-soh no. Oh no, indeed .
It comes on the word of the manager of the only men s
employment bureau on the Oregon campus that perhaps 150
men students stop eating when employment stops; that fiv e
dollars or even two dollars is often the reason they disappear
from college over night . Incidentally there is a minut e
"emergency" fund that has saved some of them,. turned over
and over again, borrowed for a day or a week . If the fun d
is "out," well .
Students should not come to college unless they have at
least $260 in money, say some authorities. But they do. They
arrive with less than their fees e
are some prices too excessive to pay even for a college educa-
tion. But they don believe it .
Oregon is undeniably theirs, so long as they can raise thei
fees, keep oil in the human lamp, and make a showing o f
hours e
precipice
Say It Was Tenni s
"I submit to you," says Walter R. Okesou, of Lehigh Uni-
versity, "that a man who being beaten at a game of tennis b
a friend, would go out and hire another chap to play th e
friend and beat him and who, having done this, would claim
a victory for himself would certainly lack sporting ideals (t o
say nothing of being the prize ass of all the world).
"Well, when the colleges, instead of developing teams from
the men who, without financial inducement, chose. that school
for their education, send out scouts to secure material fo r
their teams by offers of payment of part or all of their col-
lege expenses, they are also lacking not onlyin sporting ideals
but they don have even sporting instinct ."
Too Much Blushin g
If some morning at the University all the students should
start in calling all the professors Mister, no one would be put
on probation for it . Neither would the University shrink i n
size in the mind of the world .
A professor is welcome to his well earned titles in cata-
logs, bulletins, and wherever it is to be assumed that a titl e
owned will be exhibited . But plenty of teachers who hav e
not attained a doctorate have human experience worth a good
`deal more . We think also of twopro-
fessors who own a title and prefer Mister .
The student who is embarrassed to discover he has addressed
a doctor like a plain citizen should save his blushes and add
to the sense of reach at Oregon .
Subscription Week, June 10 to 1 6
Sit in comfort, you who paid your alumni dues (including
subscription to OLD OREGON) at least once since last June .
All others are asked to writhe
The fate of the alumni publication is in the hands of th e
alumni
cates that a magazine of monthly frequency is not desired .
Fewer members have paid their dues this year than last, when
OLD OREGON emerged four times only. Should one ask more
definite proof
We think not.
A final convulsive effort, the last agonies, so to speak, will
be put on in June, during Subscription week . Should th e
results be no more encouraging than present conditions, the
duty of killing a monthly magazine should not be shirked
Morals From . Soup
The Journal of . Worcester Polytechnic Institute enume-
rates those qualities which make an Ideal Alumnus. The idea l
alumnus, it appears, should attribute a proper amount of his
success to his alma mater. He should help cure the institu-
tion of its faults instead of growling about them. He shoul d
give his moral support to whatever assures the welfare of the

tion of the university. He should go out of his way "to urg e
ambitions youths to follow his footsteps."
Finally: the alumnus should obliterate from his memory
"whatever there may have been of petty grievance and fan-
cied injustice toward him during his college course
The authors of etiquet books advise against going afte r
the last drop of soup. It isn t worth the labor, they say. W e
dare say that if they were writing about the pleasure tha t
comes from keeping one side of the soul in chronic congestion
over an injustice of college days they would say that wa s
not worth the labor either
The World His Oyster
There Will Be No Phonograph Record s
So slight an interest was shown in the suggestion that Ore-
gon songs might be produced by a company that makes phono-
graph records that the idea will be abandoned
ful of people bothered to write in, though these promised t o
buy liberally.
The Oregon Emerald says it wouldbe a good idea to name
the rooms in the Woman building for well-known alumni .
This would save confusion when scheduling meetings . S o
muchis the Woman building used that the problem is really
acute
President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia said re-
cently:
"If a youth be taught at home or in school that there are
no fundamental underlying principles, but that the world i s
his oyster, to be consumed at such time and in such fashio
as he may seefit, or that it is to be made over to his heart s
desire, one need not wonder when a spirit of lawlessness an
restlessness under rder and constraint find expression in hi
life.
"The platitude-makers tell us sometimes that education is
preparation for life, and sometimes that education is life; take
either horn of the dilemma, and the sort of education to whic
we are now subjecting our youth is too often a training in the
spirit of lawlessness. No person can be called educated wh o
will not do effectively something that he does not wish to d o
at. the time when . it ought to be done ."
Same Trouble Her e
The Vanderbilt Alumnus objects to a certain response its
questionnaires receive that is duplicated by the Oregon alumni
office . Says the Alumnus :
"Some alumni in answering questions have said, t no t
worth while to mention me; I am only a farmer,or `No one i s
interested in a clerk, or  just have a little one-horse store;
no one cares to hear about me.It isn the .size of a mans
job that is a measure of his success or failure. It is the siz e
of his soul. You don have to be a bank president or a lawyer
to be worth while y
for is a little man in a big job ."
Emily Veazie Poetry Page
Beginning with the next issue of OLD OREGON, a poetry
page will be established . Emily Veazie, a senior, th e
daughter of Mr . and Mrs . A . L . Veazie of Portland, bot h
members of the class of 0, will be editor of this page .
For the most part the poems used will doubtless come from

from alumni ,

As with some of the more Parnassian poetry magazines ,
the per-line rates, when determined, will sound more lik e
prestige than cash. We are sure, also, that the editor canno t
guarantee to return poems with reasons why they are no t
used, thus again following an aristocratic lead.

Employment That Men Student s
Can Expect
UNIVERSITY OP OREGON men students secure bot hregular employment and odd, jobs through the University
Y . M . C . A ., the only men employment agency on th e
campus.
The quantity of such work is limited by  the size of th e
town of Eugene; and the amount of any one kind is similarly
limited.
During the fall term ninety-three men were given regular
jobs that brought in $9428; and more than two hundred dif-
ferent men earned $1500 by odd jobs. The work covere d
everything from throwing in wood to typing .
According to Mrs. C. R . Donnelly, "hut mother" and head
of employment, an early difficulty is that of satisfying me n
with the kind- of work that can be provided . Because the y
have worked in banks or offices in their home towns they
expect to do this and nothing else on reaching the campus .
The amount of stenographic and clerical work that canbe got
is limited, and it must be expertly done at that.
The following estimate of living costs at the Universit y
was prepared by the Y . M. C. A . The "low" figure can b e
reduced somewhat further, according to Mrs .. Donnelly, i f
students care to keep house for themselves in modest quar-

Women Who Must Work Can Fin d
Employment
ERE isvirtually enough work in the city of Eugene for
college women who need to make part of their expenses .
There is probably not enough tosupply every girl who might
work for additional spending money
This is the belief of Dorothy Collier, 8, general secretary
of the Oregon Y . W. C. A. and head of employment for Uni-
versity women.
Miss Collier advice to high school girls who must make
part of their expenses is that they do housework for thei r
board and room. "The best thing a girl can do," she says ,
"is to throw away any false pride she has and take a plac e
where she can fit into a family . The girls are well treated ;
they work not more than three and a half hours a day, an d
frequently much less, depending on the family they happen t
be with."
A girl should have $150 before coming to the University ,
Miss Collier says, even if she intends to work from th e
beginning.
Unless a girl has had unusual experienee at work, or has
written in long beforehand she canna :ount on falling int o
a steady office job at once -
work and find the other work for her second year Girls must
write in ahead to Miss Collier if they expect any work at all .
In the month preceding the opening of the fall term between
SO and 100 girls wrote in asking for office or library work ,
whereas these positions had been filled months beforehand.
It is true that work for an occasional hour is to be expected,
and Miss Collier says it. is not hard to determine whether a
girl really needs this work or merely wishes to do it for spend-
ing money if she finds it convenient, If the girl needs suc h
work it can be found in varying quantities
To protect the girls that work as well as the people wh o
employ them, agreements as to compensation and hours of wor
required have been drawn up by the Y. W . C. A.
Some of these may be of interest:
"A student working for her board and room shall give three and one -
half hours daily or twenty .four hours a week . Overtime shall be paid a t
the regular rate for such work .
"Cleaning her own room and doing her own personal laundry shall no t
be counted as time given in service .
"Women employing girls should bear in mind the demands made upo n
the girl at the University and should so systematize their work as to brin g
it as nearly as possible into a specific hour schedule so that a girl will b efree to come and ga .
"A student should consider it an obligation to be at her work but i n
case of absolute necessity a . substitute with the consent of her employe r
may be arranged for . Substitutes are not to receive more than the averag e
amount received by the regular employee .
"Wages shall be : for washing, ironing, cleaning, sweeping, sewing o r
dishwashing, a minimum of thirty cents for untrained service until som e
training has been acquired, with a maximum of farts cents for . efficien tor skilled service
. Sewing, except the very plainest, and ironing whic h
requires special care are classified as skilled labor .
"For care of children the price shall be twenty-five cents for the firs t
hour and fifteen cents for each succeeding hour provided the child does no t
require constant attention, otherwise the rate shall be twenty-five cent s
per hour with a maximum of seventy-five cents for an evening . In cas e
of late hours it is suggested that the student stay over night or be escorte d
home."
Miss Collier office will answer other questions as to rates
for work and so on

Miss Logan young charges have never seen what is commonly
known as a bath tub and only three or four of them have ever
ridden on a train. At this time ofyear the roads in the woods
are impassable to wheeled travel. One walks or goes horse -
back. "Teacher" wears rubber boots and sometimes the snow
is over these.
For diversion in this part of the country there is the good
old-fashioned dance, attended by fathers, mothers and child-
ren. As in that classic story, The Virginian, the children ar e
all put to bed side by side while the fun goes on .
Miss Logan was on the campus last month during an en-
forced vacation on account of snow blockades. She was look-
ing well and happy. She .said she had had no worse adventures
than being lost in the fir woods once for four hours.

Friends Send Money to Art Departmen t
BESIDES numerous gifts directly usable in the departmentof fine and normal arts at the University, such as books,
textiles, antiques, and paintings, a sum of $739 has been turned
over by interested Portland people. This money was realize d
from a series of dramatic readings, given for the purpose.
Miss Clara P . Reynolds, supervisor of arts in the Seattle
public schools, and Miss Grace Denny, professor of textile s
in the home economies department, University of Washington,
each gave $5 for the replacement of materials in the normal

Talking Points About the Departments
(Coe-tinned from page 8 )
New courses in geography are now being added, looking towar d
the time when the department can be on a three-fold basis, provid-
ing for Inorganic Geology, Organic Geology, and Geographi c
Geology. Two courses now being given in geography are economi c
geography and physiography . In economic geography this yea r
the enrollment is over 200 . Next year special courses in th e
geography oEurope, the Pacific, perhaps South America, an d
other regions are planned . These moves are also designed to mee t
the needs of students training for the profession of geology, a
profession that is just now especially attractive .
The department expects with added instructional aid an d
equipment to be able to successfully train the pre-mining-enginee r
and the professional geologist .
The general appeal that geology has for the non-technica l
mind is not forgotten . Courses of this general intent are econ-
omic geography, history and development of life, and so on .
The department has an extensive museum named for Dr .
Thomas Condon, the first professor of geology at the University ,
often spoken of as "Oregon grand old man ."




R
HOUSEHOLD ART S
Household arts at the University of Oregon is not a major sub-
ject . Its courses are intended for the student who can give onl y
three hours a term, for instance, to electives of this kind . Thes e
electives vary and are adapted to the student previous experi-
ence. Many of them are based on the assumption that the gir l
knows something of elementary cooking and sewing already .
A suggested sequence of courses is this : (1) household sani-
tation ; (2) food economies, or a study of food values, selection ,
menu making, and the providing of food for a family ; (3) home
nursing, care of children, household management .
Another sequence for those who need more practical experi-
ence is this : three or four hours running through the year i n
food preparation ; a follow course in home nursing, care of child-
ren, and household management .
The courses in home economies are general, or "home making "
and do not themselves prepare for teaching . They are servic e
courses.
On the clothing side there is a course in the study of textiles ,
line and color, making and modification of patterns, constructio n
of garments . Clothing budget and the selection of clothing ar e
also covered.
For the specializer there are several courses : one in nutritio n
for premedies or nurses, with prerequisites in physics and chemis-
try ; one for social workers, being a survey of food problems .
Because the department is small the student can make investiga-
tion of individual problems to greater advantage .
Household arts occupies the lower floor of a large frame build-
ing and sewing and fitting rooms on the second floor . Its cook-
ing laboratory is on the home kitchen unit plan, effort being mad e
to duplicate home conditions as far as possible .
The courses are given by a faculty of three, Lilian E . Tingl e
being head .
For certain combinations of home economies work with othe r
major lines on the campus Miss Tingle should be consulted .
JOURNALIS M
The University of Oregon is one of ten universities in th e
United States maintaining a school of journalism of the highes t
rank and meeting the requirements of the American Associatio n
of Schools of Journalism . At the last meeting Dean Erie W .
Allen was elected president of the national association . The other s
are Columbia, and the state universities of Indiana, Kansas, Mis-
souri, Montana, Ohio, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin . I n
equipment, size of faculty, and comprehensiveness of curriculum ,
the Oregon school ranks near the front of even this selected list .
When schools of journalism were started about a dozen years
ago there was a tendency among newspaper editors to be skepti-
cal, if not, indeed, to ridicule the idea . This attitude has entirel y
disappeared, and in no state is this truer than in Oregon . Ever y
inning the University school of journalism has more application s
from editors than it is able to fill . There has scarcely been a
graduate who has not found he had a chance to go to work immedi-
ately upon graduation .
The University Press, which is the laboratory of the schoo
of journalism, is one of the most complete laboratories to be found
A HUNDRED YEARS O F
BANKING
From the days of the Pine Tree shilling to th e
present time, our national financial history an d
its intimate relation to public policies is a
fascinating story . A . study of this histor y
brings out many interesting side-lights .
Long after the adoption of the Con-
stitution, the variety of currency is -
sues of various states made the valu e
of money in circulation so confusin g
that every high-grade school taught th e
boys what money of New York or Con-
necticut was worth in Maryland o r
some other state!
 
In 1791 Alexander Hamilton founde d
the First Bank of the United States .
To Hamilton genius a gredt deal o f
credit is due ; as first Secretary of th e
Treasury he organized that departmn t
with a master hand, reduced the con -
fused finances to order, and helpe d
establish the nation credit . He ha s
been called "the Financial Architec t
of the United States ."
 
Since our earliest history banker s
have been closely in touch with th e
nation. During the Civil War, directl y
after the disastrous Battle of Bull Run ,
a committee of patriotic New Yor k
hankers met with Secretary Chase an d
at once subscribed $50,000,000 agains t
which the Secretary was advised h e
could draw on the following day !
 
Instances of th loyalty and untirin g
energy of the nation banks durin g
the World War are not lacking, bu t
their achievements are too recent an d
too well known to dwell upon here .
If the lounger who sits in the corner grocer y
store speculating on "capital" and the "mys-
terious power of bankers " would investigat e
actual conditions, much misunderstandin g
might be prevented .
He would find that co-operation (not capital -
ism) is the keynote of modern business . Bi g
jobs today are done collectively . They ar e
financed collectively .
The real capitalists are the people lending bil-
lions of dollars, as they do every year, to Gov-
ernments, Cities, Public Utilities, Railroads ,
and Industries . Even the dollars you deposi t
in your savings bank do their share .
The investors  dollars (yours and mine) ulti-
mately furnish the power that makes possibl e
the conquest of the wilderness, the desert, th e
mountains and the sea . Thrift and invest-
ment are the real basis of material progress .

in any school of the kind anywhere, and serves to give the stu-
dent the background of practical training that is impossible in
institutions less well equipped . Every student has access to all
departments of the Press at all times, and numerous classes in th e
technical branches are held right among the machinery .
One of the most prominent newspaper editors in Portlan d
recently wrote to the school : "I am very strong for your jour-
nalism school these days. In common with most newspaper me n
I was skeptical when it was started, but I see and hear constantly
the really big and valuable things it is doing, and I think tha t
you are entitled to great credit . You are turning out newspape r
men and women. 
The University of Oregon school of journalism was one of th e
first in the country to plan to equip students as all-round jour-
nalists; not as reporters, copyreaders, or advertising men alone;
but as men trained to regard newspaper or magazine editing an d
publishing as a single unified profession . The Oregon graduat e
has a more rounded training than is obtainable at any but tw o
or three schools in the country . All branches of professional an d
technical journalism are studied, and the student is prepared (in
so far as practical school training can prepare one) to becom e
owner and manager, or to fill any necessary office in the edi-
torial, news, advertising, circulation, or mechanical departments
As a result many of the students are becoming owners of thei
own businesses and more are planning to become so .
Training in advertising is a specialty offered in a compre-
hensive form by the school of journalism with the cooperationof
the school of business administration and the department of
psychology. A complete advisory curriculum for the student pri-
marily interested in advertising is being worked out by Professor
W. P . G . Thaeher of the school of journalism .

LA W
1. Law and court procedure peculiar to the State of Oregon are
emphasized in the University law school . It is believed that thi s
is the primary function of a state-supported schooL
2. The law faculty believes in a thorough training in the arts ,
sciences, and business, prior to the study of the law, with special
emphasis on such courses as accounting, corporation organiza-
tion and finance, English and American constitutional history,
political science, economies, and written and spoken English Fo r
this reason it requires two, and advises three, years of colleg e
work for entrance to the law school . This training is necessary
not only to fit the student for success at the bar, but to keep
the legal profession abreast of the other great professions
3. The Oregon Law Review, a quarterly devoted to the eluci-
dation of Oregon law and the advancement of legal reform, is now
in its third year . It goes free to lawyers in the state .
4. The law library offers special facilities for research b y
both faculty and students . It now numbers approximately seven-
teen thousand volumes. The gift by Judge W . D . Fenton of hi s
entire library, which was one of the best private libraries west of
Chicago, constitutes a substantial part of the collection. Buel l
endorsement of the work of the school is greatly appreciated
5. The law school is a member of the Association of American
Law Schools, a group of the better schools having for its pur-
pose the advancement of legal education . In entrance require-
ments andequipment the school ranks with the first one-fourth of
the law schools of the United States .

LATI N
Latin zs returning . Its practical usefulness can be illustrate d
iin scores of ways, has always been so illustrated . For instance ,
scientists invariably resort to it for their nomenclature ; ou r
English derives from it well-nigh three-fourths of its vocabulary ;
our historians draw from it that indispensable knowledge of th e
mighty past ; our philosophers could not frame their theses but o n
premises laid down by their classic forbears ; statesmen who d o
not know Gracchus and Caesar are apt to botch and blunder ;
the geometrician can never get away from Euclid, nor the archi-
tect from Vitruvius .
The teacher who would make Latin living, who would set fort h
the matchless lore and literature of it as well as the syllables o f
it, nest have lived with his Latin, He must read Englis h
from out the Latin and Latin from out the ,English ; must se e
geometry and biology and physics in Caesar ; must conjure lega l
phrases and doctorsprescriptions from Cicero orations ; mus t
see Rome in the clock dial, the ten-cent piece, in the almanac, i n
the Sunday liturgy, in an aeronaut or a submarine, in Montan a
or in Arizona, in Lucy or Gus, in Cincinnati or in Olympia, in th e
Titanic or the Lusitania, in patrimony or matrimony or alimony ,
it matters not which, for it is all Latin anyway and anywher e
you turn.
Latin has returned to assume its old place as the study tha t
contributes balance and solidity and practicability to the cur-
riculum.
During the last quarter the University has been giving te n
courses in Latin .  
MEDICIN E
During the last fifteen years the medical schools of the Unite d
States have, as a whole, greatly improved their standards of en -
trance requirements and instruction .
In line with that development, a curriculum in medicine ha s
been arranged which aims especially to unite into a course mor e
carefully organized and compact than has heretofore been custo-
mary, the work not only of the pre-clinical and clinical years, bu t
of the pre-medical years as well .
The department of medicine was organized to administer th e
first three years of this , curriculum, during which the studen t
resides at Eugene . The entire curriculum occupies seven years .
Students who formerly registered in the pre-medical course no w
enroll as majors in the department of medicine . They are intro-
duced in their first year to problems in medicine, through weekl y
discussion conducted by the chairman of the department, an d
through actual observation of cases-five or six during the yea r
-under the direction of the University physician .
The enrollment in the fourth year of the medical curriculum ,
at Portland, is limited at present to seventy students . Almos t
double that number of applications for admission to that yea r
were received in 1921, and again in 1922 . The choice betwee n
applicants is based essentially on scholarship and character, an d
is not affected by order of application .
On the successful completion of the fourth year, student s
receive the bachelo degree .


R


MILITARY SCIENC E
Military training is now established in about 250 educational
institutions in the United States, with an enrollment fast a p-
proaching the 100,000 mark . Practically every state college en d
university in the country has its unit of the Reserve Officers 
Training Corps, senior division . High schools, military academie s
and many privately owned schools have junior division units .
At the University of Oregon the department of military sci-
ence is housed in the R . O . T . C. building, which contains fou r
company rooms, offices, drafting room, store room and an out -
door rifle range . The department has full equipment furnishe d
by the government, and each year funds are appropriated for it s
support by both the state and federal government .
Physically fit male students in colleges and universities ar e
required to take two years of military training and are then quali-
fied for -appointment as non-commissioned officers in the organ-
ized reserves ; they are appointed as such if they so desire, an d
assigned to units at or contiguous to their places of residence .
Students who elect to take the full four years of military train-
ing are paid by the government during the third and fourth year s
approximately $240, in addition to clothing and equipment, an d
upon graduation are commissioned in the OfficersReserve Corps .
Many officers of the regular army are now appointed from amon g
graduates of Universities such as Oregon .
The curriculum for military science is broad in scope withi n
the confines it must set itself . The major student takes the fol-
lowing subjects other than military training : advanced algebra ,
trigonometry, analytical geometry, English, general chemistry or

Military training is distinctly educational . It developer disci-
pline, with qualifications of poise, co-ordination of mind an d

have always made the American soldier unique in military annals .

 
PHYSICAL EDUCATIO N
The war centered attention upon a fact physical educator s
have known a long time : that ultimate human progress depend s
upon human physical condition . Educational institutions, realiz-
ing this, have been prompt to enlarge the scope of their physica l
education work. The University of Oregon responded by estab-
lishing a school of physical education with a several-fold program .
I . Health Building . Based on the principle that normal healt h
and energy can be increased, organized physical activities hav e
been provided for both men and women . This means two year s
of physical training and athletics-required .
2. Training of Teachers . A four year course trains men an d
women in health care and prepares them for physical trainin g
work in grade schools, high schools, playgrounds, and so on . A n
additional two year course provides training for supervisors, di -
rectors, hygienists, and physiotherapists .
3. Equipment. For outdoor games there is Hayward field, a
fine, turfed, well-drained expanse, surrounded by a four-lap track .
The men gymnasium is modern and includes a sixteen .lap track ,
a swimming pool, and an outdoor annex with athletic quarters ,
basketball court, three hand ball courts, squash court, boxing an d
wrestling room .
The completion of the Woman building gives the women a
plant that is as nearly ideal as human ingenuity could well pro -
vide. This building is not only the largest and by far the mos t
costly of all the buildings on the campus, but it is probably on e
of the finest of its kind in the United States . Its gymnasium s
contain the latest in apparatus and appliances ; there is a tile d
swimming pool, ample dressing and locker rooms, rest rooms ,
special measurement rooms, offices and class rooms . There i s
an outdoor gymnasium and women athletic fields immediatel y
adjoining.
The University Health Service provides medical examination s
by three physicians (two for men and one for women), a visit-
ing nurse, infirmary nurses, a dispensary and clinic with X-ra y
equipment, treatment for minor surgical cases, an eye and throa t
room, laboratory and examining rooms .r

PRE-ENGINEERING
1. The University of Oregon pre-engineering department ha s
agreements with a select list of the best engineering schools of th e
country, whereby its three years of pre-technical work will b e
accepted for full value, -a pre-determined advanced standing .
These schools include California, Columbia, Colorado School o f
Mines, Cornell, Illinois, Minnesota, Oregon Agricultural College ,
Purdue, Stanford and Wisconsin .
2. Students in pre-engineering may earn two degrees in fiv e
years. On the satisfactory completion of 45 hours work in th e
technical school to which he goes, the University of Oregon wil l
grant the student his A .B. or B .B. degree . At the end of fiv e
years he will receive an additional degree from the technica l
schooL
3. Fees at Oregon are light for pre-engineering work com-
pared with those in the technical school . Fees including clas s
dues, laboratory fees, stationery, drawing instruments, and so on ,
amounting to between $50 and $60 a year . In some schools the y
are five times as much .
4. The first three yearswork is equal in grade to that give n
in the technical schools, since it is accepted by them at par .
There is, then, the saving in railroad fare and fees and the ad -
vantages to the Oregon student of being nearer his family .
5. The pre-technical work of a strictly technical characte r
is presented by a faculty of thirteen, whose subjects are : physics,
graphics, mathematics, geology, mechanics and astronomy, chem-
istry, and botany .
PSYCHOLOG Y
1. The department of psychology is one of the few well -
developed departments of its kind on the Pacific coast . It is on e
of the four departments in the University of Oregon authorize d
to offer work for the degree of doctor of philosophy.
2. The department offers a well-rounded list of courses ,
undergraduate and graduate, in general, systematic, genetic, lab -
oratory, abnormal, social, and applied phases of psychology .
3. The staff of the department is composed of five well -
trained psychologists, four of whom have the degree of doctor o f
philosophy. Three of the staff are members of the America n
Psychological Association . The members of the staff are con-
stantly doing some research work in which the students frequentl y
have opportunity to participate . These research activities resul t
in several publications in the psychological journals each year .
4. While the department is somewhat handicapped at presen t
for space, an addition to the building in whichit is housed is no w
in the process of construction which will nearly double the spac e
devoted to psychology . The laboratory is equipped with-a num-
ber of small rooms for individual experiments . The apparatu s
equipment is adequate for extensive undergraduate work an d
for considerable specialized and research work .
5. The department registers in the neighborhood of 500 stu-
dents a year. The number of major students in the department i s
usually small, which gives the major student an unusual oppor-
tunity for personal contact with members of the teaching staff .
A very large part of the work of the department is in servic e
courses of an applied nature for the purpose of other department s
and schools on the campus .
6. There are two graduate assistantships in the department ,
open annually to qualified candidates .
7. Major students in the department, graduate and under -
graduate, conduct a psychology club known as the Hawthorn e
Club. This meets every few weeks for the discussion of topic s
in some psychological subject, selected by the club itself .



r
ROMANCE LANGUAGE S
A faculty of seven members is required to give the work i n
Romance languages. The department has more "student hours "
than any other on the campus that is, the sum of class enroll-
ments for all department faculty in all their classes is more tha n
for any other department or school . Now that modern languag e
is prescribed in virtually every university course, it becomes im-
portant that French, Spanish and Italian should be well given .
Pour years of undergraduate and two years of graduate work i n
French are planned for the coming year . The work includes gram -
mar, conversation, composition and literature. A course in Portu-
guese will probably be offered ..



.
SOCIOLOGY
The work of the school of sociology is arranged to provid e
cultural courses for undergraduates and professional training fo r
social workers and civic leaders . The courses in theory lead t o
advanced degrees and prepare for handling the problems of pres-
ent day democratic society . To secure facilities that are bette r
in some ways for supervised field work, the courses in applie d
psychology are given mainly in Portland .
The work in sociology has three aims : to develop an abilit y
to interpret movements in social progress, and to coordinate th e

knowledge the student has already gained through experience an d
through study ; second, to prepare for constructive leadership ;
third, to train for research activities and productive scholarshi p
through mastery of sociological systems of thought and o f
training.
Social agencies are making ever larger demands for univer-
sity graduates . Every profession is getting more and more to th e
point of view that normally its primary function is to be a con-
structive social agency .
The distinctive line of social activity the student has in vie w
will naturally determine the combination of courses he selects .
The following arrangement is suggested as a neucleus :
Freshman year : history, biology, political science, foreig n
language. Sophomore year : psychology, foreign language, prin-
ciples of economics, social origins, psychological foundations .
Junior year : principles of sociology, social adjustment . Senio r
year : theory of progress, community organization and develop-
ment. Electives for the advanced undergraduate and the gradu-
ate and the graduate student are these : sociological systems ,
social survey, social statistics .
On the campus Dean Young and Read Bain give the founda-
tion work in sociology . Dr . Philip Parsons is director of th e
Portland school of social work . He is assisted by persons wh o
are directors of various public welfare and public health organi-
zations, and who are thus able to offer the student director con -
tact with the agencies of socialization .a 


ZOOLOG Y
The department of zoology offers instruetiou that will be ad-
vantageous to the following :
1. General students. It is the purpose of the de partment t o
provide instruction in biology of a non-technical, fundamental an d
general character, useful to students in the interpretation of thei r
own experiences and problems .
2. Prospective teachers of biology . There is persistent de-
mand from high schools of the state for competent teachers o f
biological sciences. In the grades there is a demand arising wit h

Hood River County Organize d
H ELEN CARSON, 2, secretary of the newly organize dHood River County Alumni association, writes as follow s
of the first meeting, which was held February 9 :
It was a great meeting . We began to struggle in by two s
and threes before seven olock and by seven-fifteen the las t
one arrived-a man at that . R . W . Kelly, 7, was toastmaste r
and judging by his oratorical powers he should be a diploma t
at least . Dean Straub responded first, in his inimitable way ,
giving some reminiscences of the early University . Lama r
Tooze, 6, was the next speaker, comparing the income an d
the financial needs of the University . He urged the alumn i
to be ready when their services should be needed . He the n
showed views of the Greater Oregon that is to be .
Frances Oberteuffer Moller, 0, who is a loyal and enthusi-
astic alumna, urged us to make good our ideals by work . I m
sure alie has long since converted her Cornell husband . "Men s
agitat molem," you know ;

a tear .

" Girls of  98" Honored at Portlan d
Luncheon
DEAR OLD OREGON :
It is hard to realize that two generations have passed since th e
first classes were graduated from Oregon . The viewpoint o f
those first alumni members differs so markedly from those wh o
are enrolled now . The extremes of pioneer beginnings and th e
up-to-date methods of modern education are reflected in th e
graduates of then and now . To bring the women of the tw o
extremes, and the intervening years, together in a meeting wa s
the motive that prompted the calling of the reunion luncheon o f
alumnae at the Portland Hotel, January 27 .
Without an organization it is a hard matter to get peopl e
together in a large city ; but the desire to know each other bette r
gained a quick response from the telephone committee, consistin g
of Mrs . J . R . Krausse (Mary Kinsey, music . 1), Mrs . Harol d
Broughton (Rita Fraley, 6), and Mrs . Lee Patterson (Berth a
Masters, 3) . As a result 51 alumnae of Portland and vicinit y
made reservations.
The committee took advantage of the occasion to honor th e
twenty-five year class, the girls of 8, and selected Mra . W . A .
Robb (Ploy Watkins, 8), as toast mistress . She presided wit h
the same ability that she exhibited in her Eutaxian days .
The musical program, in charge of Mrs . Roes Giger (Maria n
Neil, 8), was presented by Mu Phi Epsilon and was delightful .
The "toasts" were as follows :
"Speaking for the women up to 1900," Mrs . Ed Carter (Laur a
Beatie, 5) ; "From 1900 to 1915," Mrs . Pat Allen (Alic e
Benson, 5) ; "From 5 to present time," Dorothy Flegel, 9 .
Among the guests of the day was Mrs . Frank Chambers (Edit h
Kerns, 5), state alumnae president, who gave an outline of th e
constructive work of the state association in supporting the Mar y
Spitler scholarship.
Another guest was Grace Edgington, alumni secretary .
A most interesting feature of the hour was the reading of a
letter from Dr . Luella Clay Carson, of Los Angeles by Mrs . L . T .
Harris (Jennie Beatie, 6) . Dr . Carson was the first dean o f
women of Oregon and greatly beloved by those who knew her .
It was the consensus of opinion that the luncheon was a decided
success and should be made an annual affair .

On A Hil l
By Emily Veazie,  3
If I had met you on a hil l
In windy autumn weather
Where leaves like ships of brown and red
Sail down the air together
I would havesworn you to be kin
Of their gay, flaunting host -
So poignant in a sense of lif e
Becausethey feel the frost!
The Romance of Makin g
One's Way Through Colleg e
has been overdone. There is more hard work to it than romance . Man y
high school students go to college with too slender funds, expecting to mak e
their way easily because they know other students who have been self-sup-
porting .
Office work is the ambition of most self-supporting students, but bow few o f
them are, adequately trained in shorthand and typewriting, for instance, Ye t
these are both essential, so keen is the competition for office positions .
Many students now at the University of Oregon have secured their offic e
training at the EUGENE BUSINESS COLLEGE . Some have taken its day
and night classes to brush up on forgotten work .
If you contemplate becoming a self-supporting student at
the University of Oregon write for our catalog and rates .

A job for every student-- -
What are you going to do this summer?
Do you want a real job with good pay ?
The Ten Million Dollars Endowment for old Orego
is going to be accomplished mostly through the medium of Ten Year Endow-
ment Life Insurance
Perhaps your finances will not permit of your doing your share in giving, as you would like to do, but ,
as at the time of the civil war, a man could hire a substitute to fight for him, so you can find som e
one to take your place in this big fight for Dollars for the University and the University will give yo u
due credit . In this case instead of paying for a substitute, you work to find him and get paid for the work .
Now don t say " I can t write Life Insurance, " but do say "I can and will find men and women wh o
will help old Oregon with a 10 Year Endowment policy in the American Life Insurance Co ." and
write to the Portland office for information about our plan . Begin Now !

NOTE : If your age should be, say 25, and your rate in a participating company for that age i s
$106.95 (with the same disability feature) the American Life contract for the same premium would b e
for $1199.12 of endowment for the University (practically 20 per cent more) and your monthly incom e
in the event of permanent disability would be increased in the same proportion . Non-Participatin g
Insurance provides positive, immediate material increase in results in the place of probable small refund s
of the cost, if you live to secure them .
