Why I earnestly
recommend a career in
life insurance
(Some questions answered by
a New England Life Agent)
BILL GR1SWOLD, college graduate in '48, was
New England Life's 1954 Rookie of the Year, and had an even
bigger year in '55. Read why he calls his work, "as satisfying
a livelihood and vocation as could ever be desired. "
What do you like best about the life insuranee
business?
"The fact that I'm a professional man, I'm my own boss,
and there's no limit on my income. I'd had good jobs, from
the laundry business to managing a theater, but none of
them offered me half the opportunities I've found in life
insurance."
How did you learn to sell life insuranee?
"New England Life gives a new agent comprehensive
training in his general agency and at the home office. In
addition, he gets skillful field supervision. And he is urged
A BETTER LIFE FOR YOU
to continue his insurance education through advanced
courses and special seminars."
How about earnings?
"New England Life gives each new agent a generous
training allowance. With some good breaks, I earned a five
figure income in my first year. I'm now in my third year.
My income has steadily increased, and I take a lot of satis-
faction in serving a fine clientele."
Let us tell vou more about the advantages of a career
with New England Life. Write Vice President L. M.
Huppeler, 501 Boylston Street, Boston 17, Massachusetts.

To and From
Postmen occup\ a very hallowed position in
my daily routine?perhaps in yours, too. Natur-
ally they bring us those monthly slips of paper
which tend to measure the extent of our credi-
tors' trust in us. But mostly we like those occa-
sions when we find a curious, yet friendly
envelope among the ominous windowed-com-
munications.
In reviewing some of the correspondence of
the past months we cannot help but smile when
we find such a multitude of reasons which
prompted some alumnus to send a choice report
of himself or others or to sharply rap our
knuckles for some oversight or error. Mostly the
real motivating force behind these letters is
either self or university pride.
One letter we received criticised our Old Ore-
gon Sports because the writer felt that we were
merely presenting a "Hollywood Gossip Col-
umn" type of a report, and that it had no merit
as being representative of the University. We
think that he was actually trying to say, "Ore-
gon is a fine university and I object to anything
you do which seems to bring discredit to my
school."
Occasionally we receive a complaint that an
alumnus is dissatisfied with his tickets for an
athletic event. Probably that is a case of in-
jured personal pride. Most letters, however, ex-
press a very sincere thanks for some benefits
that the writer has experienced.
Jim Hammond's recent letter, for example:
"This is your L ncle Jim speaking to you this
morning from out of a heart too full for a dull
old head to teach it reason and restraint; it
seems only a short time ago that I was walking
up to the University campus with exceeding
dignity, going to the different classrooms of
Professors Johnson, Straub, Collier and others.
And I thank God for the memories most pre-
cious and treasured about my wonderful Oregon
and its people." Years have not lessened Jim
Hammond's memories or his great pride in his
school. (Mr. Hammond is a member of the
Class of '98.)
Occasionally the postman will bring us a pic-
ture. We publish as many in OLD OKKI.ON as
we can accommodate. One alumnus asked us to
please print all names in all group pictures.
(This will be done as a matter of standard prac-
tice.) He seemed to have had great pleasure in
trying to identify some persons who were in the
picture and whom he had not seen since leaving
Oregon some 30 years ago.
Beginning with the next issue we shall begin
a "Letters to the Editor" feature in OLD OHI-XON.
We invite you to write us your reactions and
thoughts about OLD OREGON, the University and
its program. Send us pictures, too. Family, in-
dividual, group, everything is welcome.
We are willing to wager that the first part of
OLD OKKOON that you read is "The Classes"
section. Jn order that each issue has news about
many members of the elates, send us frequent
notes about Oregon alumni whom you see and
know. Incidentally, Cla^s of '25, take note?Lt.

Millrace ? Unfinished Story
By Mary Alice Allen, '56
Senior in Journalism
Old Oregon
Future of Favorite Campus Playground Appears Bright;
City and University Expected to Share in Restoration
/~\NE OF the University of Oregon's most
*S cherished traditions, the Millrace, may
soon play a very real part in the campus
life of the undergraduate. For the Uni-
versity and the City of Eugene are fast
approaching agreement on a plan to restore
the historic Millrace to some of its former
beauty and importance to the campus scene.
Where once its meandering course pro-
vided canoeing, dunkings, picnics, bonfires
and the traditional Oregon Canoe Fete,
today's Millrace is a sluggish, unhealthy
and unsafe eyesore for both the city and
the University community. It now flows
at a rate of about 20 cubic feet per second,
and even drops below this pace during some
parts of the year. This is not fast enough
to carry away surface refuse which either
falls or is dumped into the Race. Since
the Millrace cannot be properly drained, it
is impossible to keep it clean. Consequently
city health authorities have declared it un-
safe and unsanitary for swimming. As a
result students today have no first hand
knowledge of the recreation opportunities
afforded by the old Millrace.
For the past several years the City of
Eugene has spent nearly $8,000 a year in
repairing the Millrace dam, near Judkin's
Point, which separates the Race from the
Willamette river. The severe rains of re-
cent winters have so weakened the dam's
walls that engineers will not guarantee
how much longer they will hold. From the
city's viewpoint this upkeep has not solved
the Millrace problem, instead it has in-
creased the community's financial burdens.
During 1955 two committees ?the City
of Eugene and the University?have been
studying the problem of how to restore the
Millrace in order that students and towns-
people can enjoy it. The University Com-
mittee has concluded that a pumping system
appears to be the only reasonable solution.
Official city support for this same plan is
anticipated in the near future.
The pumping plan which would increase
the flow of water in the race is the result
of a study made by Cornell, Howland,
Hayes and Merryfield, engineering con-
sultants from Corvallis. Proposed by the
Millrace Committee of the ASUO Senate,
the study was financed by the University.
The ASUO Committee felt that an outside
viewpoint, which would be impartial in its
appraisal of the problem, was quite neces-
sary if ultimate agreement between the City
of Eugene and the University is achieved.
The engineering study was completed
in September, 1955. Three alternative pro-
January-February 1956
posals, with the estimated costs for each,
were outlined and presented to the ASUO
Millrace committee. They were: (1) aban-
don the Millrace?fill in the channel, (2)
speed flow by an improved gravity flow
system. (3) speed flow with forced-pump-
ing.
The committee realized that any plan
adopted would only partially restore the
Millrace to its former swiftness. For the
Millrace flow was substantially affected
after World War II when U. S. Highway 99
was relocated through Eugene via West
Seventh Street to Franklin Boulevard past
the University. The lower channel of the
Millrace was closed off and in its place
a 30-inch storm sewer from Broadway to
the river was constructed, and a reserve
outlet from the Millrace to the river north
of the old Anchorage restaurant site was
installed. Today, the storm sewer cannot
carry off all the water of the Millrace to
the river at an acceptable rate. And the
reserve outlet was not constructed high
enough to maintain the Millrace depth up
to its traditional level. So a gravity flow
system now, although generally recognized
as a preferable arrangement, would be pro-
hibitive in cost in comparison to the pump-
ing system.
Actually the proposed pumping plan
would provide a flow of 50 cubic feet per
second in the upper race above Franklin
Boulevard and a 25 cubic feet per second
flow in the lower race below Franklin. An
overflow dam would carry the excess water
back into the Willamette River before it
crossed under the highway.
The initial cost of the proposed pumping
plan would be $40,000, and the annual
maintenance cost about $7,000. Under the
proposal half of the cost would be borne
by the University and half by the City of
Eugene. The University's share would
have to come from contributions; already
the ASUO Committee has tentatively
pegged a special fund raising drive for
later this year.
The engineering study included an esti-
mate of how much it would cost to fill in
the Millrace. The initial costs for filling
and constructing a new storm sewer would
be about $138,000, with annual mainten-
ance costs on the sewer amounting to
$8,000, which would probably have to be
met by the city. To fill in the Millrace
would be much more expensive than to
restore it. This is one of the key argu-
ments advanced by those who favor the
restoration plan.
Cost breakdown for Millrace Pumping
System:
Initial Outlay:
Pumping station $33,290
Outlet control station 450
Silva culvert 750
Channel: lower section 500
Channel: upper section ?. 5,000
Total $39,990
Annual Maintenance:
Power $3,300
Operation 1,000
Canal and Pumping Station 2,000
Bridge 1^000
Total $7,300
The ASUO Millrace Committee has
pointed out that one of the advantages of
the pumping system proposal is that it
will not require any additional fund raising
drives after the capital costs have been met.
The annual maintenance costs are within
reach of both the University and the City.
The pumping plan has actually already
been approved by the University and the
City of Eugene Millrace Committee. The
fate of Oregon's Millrace now rests in
the lap of the Eugene City Council. If
the council rejects the University's pro-
posal, the only other alternatives are to
find a new plan which will please the coun-
cil, or fill in the Millrace.
If the plan is approved by the Eugene
City Council, the move will climax a year
long campaign by students and many alum-
ni to create interest in the restoration
of the race.
The high point of this campaign was the
very successful 1955 Canoe Fete. Both
students and alumni got behind the last
year's big Junior Weekend project, and it
dramatically proved that even bigger and
better Canoe Fetes could be held on a re-
stored Millrace.
On the strength of the success of the
1955 Canoe Fete, Bud Hinkson, of Eugene.
ASUO president appointed the ASUO Mill-
race CommiLtee headed by Sam Vahey, of
Portland, ASUO vice-president. Included
on that committee are J. O. Lindstrom. Uni-
versity business manager; 1.1. Wright, Uni-
versity physical plant superintendent; Si

brought Dean and Mrs. Gilbert from Eu-
gene to New ^ ork by air as guests of the
University of Oregon Alumni Club of New
York.
Tracing the "Builders of the University
and Heralds of its Greatness," the retired
Professor of Economics and Dean of the
College of Liberal Arts revivified Oregon's
historic moments, from the year when
Prince Lucian Campbell first became Presi-
dent through the succeeding administra-
tions of Arnold Bennett Hall. C. Valentine
Boyer. Donald M. Erb and Donald K. New-
burn, to the day when incumbent President
\^ ilson took over. In pointing up the
changes in emphasis, in the schools, and
in physical plant, the Dean provided a com-
prehensive picture of a growing University.
Throughout, through the ups and downs
of good and bad days, the irrepressible
"Jimmy" sprinkled his anecdotes, his pun-
gent limericks and his rare and high praise
for the men who built, and are today build-
ing, the University.
President Philip Bergh '27. who executed
the plans for the trip, was the evening's
toastmaster, reading telegrams and letters
from prominent alumni who joined in the
spirit of welcome. He stressed the appre-
ciation of the entire Club to the group of
eastern Alumni headed by Dr. Claude
Robinson '24 and John MacGregor '23, who
by their generosity made the Gilberts' trip
possible. He also presented Dr. Gilbert
with a memorial album of the trip, which
would be completed with pictures taken
from arrival to departure and with signa-
tures of all present at the banquet.
Former students Steele Winterer '26,
President of A. & M. Karagheusian. and
Maurice J. Warnock '26, Vice President of
Armstrong Cork Company, came up with
some hilarious footnotes to their training
under Dr, Gilbert in Economics?a field
in which both have been outstandingly suc-
cessful. Russell Gowans '25, President of
the Crown Cork & Seal Company, also
scheduled to take part in this portion of
the program, was prevented from attending
by illness in his family.
Mrs. Gilbert was introduced, as well as
all persons present, and noted especially
were Professor Franklin E. Folts '19. of
the Harvard University Graduate School
of Business Administration, and Dr. W. E.
Spahr and Dr. Clarence C. Clarke from the
Economics Department of New York Uni-
versity.
Dr. Claude Robinson expressed the
thanks of the entire Oregon alumni group
to Dean and Mrs. Gilbert, not only for the
pleasure of having them in New York for
the banquet and many agnaller gatherings,
but also for their tremendous contribution
over the years to the University and the
State of Oregon.
DR. GILBERT chats with the dean of New York

Old Oregon
Nowhere Is His Tragic Passing More Keenly Felt
Than on the University Campus
/"\NE OF the University of Oregon's most
^-^ distinguished sons, Governor Paul L.
Patterson, member of the Class of 1923, died
of a heart attack Tuesday evening, January
31, at the age of 55.
After making a speech earlier in the eve-
ning to a convention of the Assemblies of
God at Portland's municipal auditorium,
the governor was with three close political
friends at the Arlington Club when he was
fatally stricken a few minutes before 10 p.m.
Only three days before he had announced
that he would be a candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for the United States Sen-
ate, and had entered a contest to unseat
Senator Wayne L. Morse, former Dean of
the University of Oregon School of Law.
Paul Patterson became governor of Ore-
gon December 17,1952, succeeding Douglas
McKay, who was appointed to President
Eisenhower's cabinet as Secretary of the In-
terior. He served out McKay's unexpired
term, and was elected in his own right to a
four-year term in November, 1954.
His political career began in 1933 in
Hillsboro as city attorney. In 1944 he was
elected to the state senate from Washington
county, and was quickly discovered to be a
leader. He served in the state legislature
four sessions?as chairman of senate mu-
nicipal affairs committee in 1945, chairman
of the senate education committee in 1947,
and in 1949 as chairman of the highway
committee. He distinguished himself as
president of the senate in 1951, the position
from which he succeeded McKay as gover-
nor.
STUDENT DAYS AT OREGON
Paul Patterson received his bachelor's
degree from the University of Oregon School
of Business in 1923, and three years later re-
ceived his Doctor of Jurisprudence degree
from Oregon's School of Law.
During his student days at Oregon he was
widely respected for his leadership abilities.
As a freshman Patterson roomed with two
ether young men, who were later to achieve
national prominence?John MacGregor and
Len Jordan. MacGregor, ASUO president
in 1923 and former national president of
Alpha Tau Omega won distinction in both
World Wars, is now president of the ex-
clusive 200-year old St. Andrews Society of
New York. Jordan became governor of
Idaho, and at present is a member of a
January-February 1956
joint United States and Canada internation-
al committee for the development of water
resources in the West.
Patterson, with MacGregor and Jordan,
lived in a small house near the corner of
University and 14th Street?now occupied
by the Erb Memorial Student Union.
Governor Patterson was affiliated with
Tau Kappa Alpha, forensics honorary, and
Alpha Kappa Psi, commerce and business
honorary, while a student. All three?Pat-
terson, MacGregor and Jordan?were mem-
bers of Friars, senior men's honorary, when
they graduated from the University.
LEADER IN SU CAMPAIGN
Paul Patterson was one of the half-dozen
members of his class who led the first cam-
paign for a Student Union. Although the
group ran into difficulties in 1923, their
dream was finally realized 27 years later.
Patterson was a member of Bachelordom,
a strong local club started by ex-service-
men; later he joined the Chi Psi Lodge, a
social fraternity, before graduation.
Paul Patterson ivas one of Oregon's most
loyal alumni. He was active in the affairs of
the class of 1023. Here at a recent class
reunion he greets two former classmates.
He was a frequent visitor to the campus,
particularly during major campus week-
ends?such as Dad's Days and Homecom-
ings. He attended the annual Homecoming
game regularly, the latest being last fall.
On May 16, 1927. he married Georgia
Searle Benson, member of the Class of 1924.
Besides his wife, Georgia, he is survived by
three children: Mr. Jim Fred Dillard of
Tulsa, Oklahoma; Mrs. John W. Smithson
of Lake Grove; and Paul L., Jr., of Tucson,
Arizona.
Paul Patterson was an active Congrega-
tionalist, and Rotarian. He served as presi-
dent of the Hillsboro chamber of commerce
and as commander of the Hillsboro Ameri-
can Legion post. He was active in the Boy
Scout movement. He served for a short
period of time in the army during World
War I and was on his way to officer's train-
ing school when the war ended.
The public funeral service was held Fri-
day, February 2, at 2 p.m., in the House of
Representatives in the state capitol build-
ing, Salem. More than 1200 persons attend-
ed the service.
Among the many admirers and close
friends of the late Governor at the funeral
were Governor Arthur B. Langlie of Wash-
ington, and four ex-governors of Oregon?
Oswald West. A. W. Norblad, Charles A.
Sprague and John Hall. Many of those men
who served with the late governor during
his first session in the state senate in 1945
were present, including others who were
associated with him in succeeding years in
the state government.
STATE LEADERS ATTEND
Oregon's top political figures were pres-
ent, including?Secretary of the Interior
Douglas McKay, Senator Wayne Morse,
Representatives Walter Norblad and Edith
Green, and e\-Senatoi Guy Gordon. Many
representatives of foreign governments at-
tended the funeral.
The Oregon national guard and air na-
tional guard served as honor guards at the
service. Special honor guards of the Hills-
bom American Legion Post, and Boy Scouts
from Hillsboro reflected the deep respect
the late Governor's home community held
lor him.

PRINCETON'S PRESIDENT HAROLD WILLIS DODDS
THE PURPOSE of a university is a subject that greatly interests many people. Regents, fac-
ulty, alumni, students, parents, patrons and friends all share a common desire to examine and
to evaluate the principles of higher learning. Because this interest of many groups serves a
good purpose?to seek ways in which universities may improve their value to society?OLD
OKEGON takes pleasure in publishing this address given by Dr. Harold Willis Dodds, president
of Princeton University, at the May 13, 1955 Honors Convocation of the University of
Michigan.
President of Princeton since 1933, Dr. Dodds is a graduate of Crowe City College ('09), with
graduate work at Princeton (A.M. '14) and Pennsylvania (Ph.D. '17). He was widely known
as a political scientist before assuming his present position. After a brief period as professor
of political science at Western Reserve, he was secretary of the National Municipal League
from 1920 to 1928, editor of the National Municipal Review (1920-33), and in 1927 became
professor of politics at Princeton.

What Is a University?
AMERICANS in general have an inadequateconception of what a university is and what
it exists to do. Many seem to assume that a uni-
versity is merely a galaxy of undergraduate col-
leges and graduate schools of arts and sciences,
law, medicine, and so forth. Now if all that is
required to qualify as a modern university is a
congeries of individual schools under one presi-
dent and one hoard of control, the justification
for it is questionable. If the only cords that
bind these parts together are a college cheer, a
president, and a board of control, plus a chance
to contribute to an alumni fund and belong to
the university club in one's home town, there is
little or no economic or educational basis for
our complex universities. Certainly, if special-
ized training were the only consideration, it
might be provided more efficiently in smaller
and wholly specialized institutions.
But something tells us that it would be folly
to turn our backs on our medieval ancestors and
split up our universities into autonomous spe-
cialist schools or institutions. This is because the
very concept of a university assumes an under-
lying principle which composes the various
parts into a rational whole. A true university
does have a theme which prevents it from de-
composing into a multiversity.
A good way to gain an insight into any exist-
ing social institution, a method heartily ap-
proved by science, is to examine its origin and
simple primitive form. So we can turn to Mich-
igan's lineal forebears, the medieval universities,
for light on what she is today.
Durable as the first universities proved to be
?indeed they often literally thrived on adver-
sity?no organization could have been less
contrived, more spontaneous in origin. They
were the unplanned product of the instinct for
association in a common life of learning on the
part of people who wanted to discover and
share knowledge on the one hand, and on the
other those who wanted to receive it. In this
joint process of discovery and sharing is found
the true essence of the university as an enduring
social institution. It is society's agency for trans-
mitting accepted truth and for discovering and
sharing new truth.
The Universities of Paris, Bologna, Oxford,
Cambridge, and their medieval counterparts
began without a board of regents, or even a
corporate charter. So innocent were they of the
trappings of a modern American university that
they Were able to function without an organized
alumni body, an Alma Mater sung with sober
faces by voices slightly off key, or even a foot-
ball team. Brawls with townspeople were an
January-February 1956
adequate substitute for organized programs of
physical education and intercollegiate athletics.
Taverns and wine shops were campus centers
of social life; and for food and lodging the stu-
dents were dependent on the tender mercies of
landlords, who, according to the students, were
apt to be demanding and avaricious; but who
in their own minds, I presume, considered them-
selves to be but long-suffering victims of youth-
ful, undisciplined exuberance, not unlike some
harassed student landlords today.
QTUDENT-FACULTY relations in the me-
^-' dieval university left much to be desired.
Nevertheless, despite open rows between guilds
of masters and guilds of students, a corporate
spirit soon emerged. Because it tended to stir
up new ideas, this new entity had to contend
on occasion with both civil and ecclesiastical
authority. At times in its struggle for self-gov-
ernment the university displayed a strategic
adroitness beyond what a most hard-boiled uni-
versity administration would dare to invoke to-
day.
President Harold Willis Dodds and the Mich-
igan Alumnus Quarterly Review have granted
OLD OREGON special permission to reprint
this address delivered by Dr. Dodds at the Uni-
versity of Michigan Honors Convocation, May
13,1955.
True, a bold intellectual explorer who at-
tempted to break through the crust of medieval
authoritarian theology might incur rough treat-
ment at the hands of his university colleagues,
as well as from bishops and popes. Nevertheless
the early university did exhibit an embryonic
capacity to stand by a more free-thinking col-
league. Wycliffe was a practitioner as well as a
scholar of what was considered subversion; yet
Oxford, you remember, threw its protection
about him, and it was years before external
authority caught up with him. At the end, he
could have used the help of an association of
university professors to champion his cause, but
that was not to come until later.
I have said that the first universities were not
founded; they just grew. They were not con-
structed; they occurred in response to a basic
human thirst for knowing more. But, I repeat,
their survival power has equalled that of any
other heritage which the Middle Ages left us,
and it has excelled some.
THE PERIODS of history in which the
times of turbulence within and attacks from
without. The way for universities to be at ease
is to be asleep, and the periods of intellectual
narcosis into which they have sometimes fallen
might well have spelled the end of a less
sturdy organism. "The slumbers of the English
universities in the eighteenth century," writes
an eminent historian, "were even more scan-
dalous than the lighter and more broken slum-
bers of the Church." Yet both the universities
and the Church proved that they were not dead
and the period of slumber was but the prelude
to revived activity.
It is difficult for some of the public to grasp
the idea that a university exists for the purpose
of entertaining differences of opinion rather
than of achieving uniformity and intellectual
regimentation. This was brought home to me by
an incident which has doubtless occurred to
President Hatcher under similar circumstances.
I was testifying before a senatorial committee
against a bill which had aroused strong popular
feelings pro and con throughout the country. A
few days earlier one of our professors had ap-
peared in favor of the measure. This seeming
violation of good order baffled one senator who
sharply questioned me as to how it could come
about that a professor was permitted to disagree
with the president of his university, and still
hold his job. I soon sensed that my explanation
of academic freedom was serving only to deepen
the senator's conviction that I was a pretty poor
example of a college president. So I tried to
laugh it off by saying that doubtless my col-
league had been suffering a momentary aber-
ration, but that he would work out of it in time.
All I accomplished was to make trouble for my-
self back home, for the newspapers picked up
the phrase and on my return to the university it
required some effort to smooth the ruffled feel-
ings of an old faculty friend.
WITHIN THE limits and ethics of the codeof a democracy, a university can have
no party line, yet its activity must be carried
on under the compulsions and limits of a heavy
sense of responsibility for truth. It is not its
function to emulate Hyde Park Corner on a
Sunday morning, or a political party, labor
union, chamber of commerce, or League of
Women Voters in a Monday-morning release to
the newspapers. It has both the right and the
obligation to demand competence and integrity
of its members. The first duty of the academic
profession?one of the greatest services it can
render?is to demand rigorous standards of
scholarly competence, objectivity, and integrity.
Nor can it be neutral towards social and ethical

Oregon's Famous "Tall Firs" Gather
On Campus for Reunion, January 14
University of Oregon's greatest all-time
basketball team?the "Tall Firs" of 1938-
39?returned to McArthur Court, Saturday
evening, January 14. This season's varsity
was meeting California in the opening Pa-
cific Coast Conference game of the 1956
season. It was just 17 years ago that the
"Tall Firs"' met a University of California
team for the Pacific Coast title. In short
order, Oregon's basketball squad of 1939
moved on to the Western Regional NCAA
title, and finally, to the National NCAA title
against Ohio State.
Many of the this year's student rooters
at McArthur Court on January 14, were
ju-t beginning to walk when Oregon's
famed "Tall Firs" were running roughshod
over all opposition. However, student en-
thusiasm was loud and clear when the en-
tire Court audience acclaimed Oregon's
Tall Firs -Captain Bobby Anet, now a resi-
dent of Seaside; John Dick, a Commander
in the Navy Air Corps; Laddie Gale, who
lives in Salem; Bob Hardy, who still lives
10
in Ashland; Wally Johansen from Coos
Bay; Archie Marshik, now back at Oregon
taking graduate study in the School of Edu-
cation; Ted Sarpola, coach at The Dalles
high school; and Slim Wintermute of Port-
land.
Ford Mullen and Matt Pavalunas, two
members of the 1939 team, had their own
private reunion on Friday night, January
13, when their respective high school teams,
Olympia and Centralia, met in a basketball
game. Earl Sandness. another member of
the team, now with the U. S. Coast Guard
could not be present because he was aboard
his ship.
Coach Howard "Hobby" Hobson was
ably represented by his son, Howard, Jr.,
who lives in Eugene. "Hobby" expressed
his greetings to his former team through a
letter which was read by Howard, Jr. to the
team and spectators.
During their stay in Eugene, the team
"members were officially hosted by long
time friend and former coach John Warren.
Co-op Store Buys
Ola "Side" Corner
The University of Oregon Co-operative
Store has purchased the property on the
northwest corner of 13th and Kincaid
streels, presently occupied by the College
Side Inn, Bill Baker's Men's Shop, West-
gate Shoppe and the Smorgasbord. An-
nouncement was made of the Co-op Board's
action by Jerrry Henson, '35, manager of
the store.
Although the present quarters of the Co-
op in the street floor of Chapman Hall are
crowded, and will become inadequate with-
in a few years, there are no plans at the
present time to move the Co-op into larger
facilities. According to Henson, the pur-
chase was made principally because it was
an "attractive investment," for which the
Co-op Board has been accumulating funds
for many years. He did point out that there
was a secondary possibility that the Co-op
might, some day in the future, utilize larger
facilities on this newly acquired site.
Both the Co-op and the University are
hopeful that adequate space can be found
in their present location in Chapman Hall.
Anticipated increase in student enrollment
during the next 10 years will undoubtedly
force expansion of the Co-op sooner than
once believed, Henson stated.
The student-owned, tax-paying retail
school supply business was organized in
1920. It was first housed in the Smorgasbord
building on Kincaid just north of 13th street.
Later, it moved to the corner of the College
Side building. And in 1939, increased space
needs to accommodate larger student enroll-
ments forced the Co-op to seek larger quar-
ters in Chapman Hall, renting the space
from the University.
Several campus locations have been con-
sidered for a larger Co-op store. It may be
that the University's administration and
classroom building program over the next
five years can provide the solution to the
present Co-op store space problem.
Jerry Henson is the second manager in
the Co-op's 35-year history, having suc-
ceeded Marian McClain in 1948. He grad-
uated from the University of Oregon in
1935.

Wall Street Journal
Chief Addresses
Journalism Groups
The Wall Street Journal's decision to pay
beginning reporters, just out of college, a
minimum of $100 a week, starting this com-
ing June, may prompt pay increases for
journalists throughout the country. So de-
clared Bernard Kilgore, president of The
Wall Street Journal, who was the fourth
professional leader of journalism during the
lerm to address the School of Journalism
students and faculty. February 16 at Allen
Hall. His subject was. "The Wall Street
Journal, the only National Newspaper in
the United States, and Its Function in the
United States."
Kilgore said that. The Journal is not
an economic paper, but is a report of what
people do to make a living." He compared
small papers with large papers in their
similarity of production problems, but
stated that some smaller newspapers often
serve communities better than do large ones.
Big newspapers tend to be departmental-
ized and consequently suffer from lack of
ideas, said Kilgore. The Wall Street Journal
is trying to avoid this situation by keeping
a wide open newsroom, he said.
The president of one of the world's
unique newspaper enterprises, said that the
field of communication is one of the most
important fields open today, and that liberal
arts courses should contain an exposure to
journalism. "The majority of writing, read-
ing, publishing, and printing that a student
reads will deal in some way with journal-
ism," he stated. Therefore, students should
be able to interpret communications prop-
erly, he said.
Kilgore was also on the University cam-
pus to deliver the annual Eric W. Allen
Memorial Lecture, at 2 p.m., Friday. Feb-
ruary 17. before the 37th Annual Oregon
Press Conference, co-sponsored by the Ore-
gon Newspaper Publishers Association and

Oregon Dads Meet
Judge Carl A. Dahl, Portland, was elected

business session during the annual Dads
Week End on the campus. February 3-4.
Judge Dahl, who serves a two-year term as
Oregon Dads Club president, follows Gor-
don Wilson, of Portland.
Elected vice president was William Ham-
mond of Salem, and Robert Finlayson. of
Eugene, was elected secretary. Dads Club
executive committee, the members of which
serve until 1958, include: Gordon Wilson,
Jack Robertson, K. H. Miles. John Trolin-

quille; Floyd A. Boyd of Klamath Falls;
Dr. W. L. Lidbcck of Salem, and William
M. Dielschneider, of The Dalles.
At the traditional Dad's Day luncheon.
President O. Meredith Wilson said that
because of higher enrollments the Univer-
sity of Oregon may have to find new ways
of teaching students and increase salaries
to college instructors in order to maintain
quality.
The President pointed out that the pres-
ent student-teacher ratio may suffer at Ore-
gon because of the constantly climbing en-
rollment. He warned that the continuing
shortage of good instructors may also
create a great problem unless something
drastic happens soon to relieve this trend.
What the people of the state and of the
nation need to realize is that more of the
total population of the country want to
attend colleges and universities every year,
the president stated. Although it might be
the hope of the University of Oregon not to
grow beyond 6,500 students, he said, it
would be illusory to assume that it can
remain small.
President Seeks
Larger Faculty
President 0. Meredith Wilson has re-
quested the Oregon State Board of Higher
Education to make provisions for necessary
increases in the size of the University of
Oregon faculty to cope with the anticipated
post-graduate and professional education
enrollment beginning next year.
At the present time the State Board of
Higher Education allocates the function of
providing graduate and professional level
education to both the University of Oregon
and Oregon State College.
At Oregon, graduate work is offered in the
schools of law, architecture and allied arts,
business, health and physical education,
liberal arts, music and journalism, as well
as in the social sciences and humanities.
The medical and dental schools, while aca-
demically a part, of the University, are
located in Portland and report directly to
the Chancellor of the Oregon State System
of Higher Education for all budgetary mat-
ters.
Oregon State shares responsibility in the
fields of science and education with the
Lfniversity, in addition to offering graduate
education in its own professional schools.
In making this request to the state board.
President Wilson stated that "more and
more people are going to continue educa-
tion into graduate areas," and said that, in
view of this, additional funds are needed to
provide for an enlarged staff to offer
the intimate professor-student relationship
which graduate education requires.

New Biography on
Matthew Simpson
Dr. Robert D. Clark, Professor of Speech
and Acting Dean of the College of Liberal
Arts, has written a new biography about
one of America's memorable 19th century
figures of the national scene. "The Life of
Matthew Simpson."
The first president of the Methodist Col-
lege, now DePauw University, Simpson
was a conspicuous party to the politics of
that day. A personal friend of presidents
Lincoln. Grant, Hayes. Arthur and Garfield,
he was known as one of the Republican
Party's major advisers. One of the high-
lights of Simpson's life came in the spring
of 1865 when he delivered Lincoln's funeral
oration.
Dr. Clark has been doing research on the
life of Matthew Simpson for the past 10
years. He spent considerable time in the
town where Simpson lived as a boy?Cadiz.
Ohio. He visited the campuses where Simp-
son taught, and many of the cities where the
Methodist Bishop preached. The book was
published by the MacMillian Company of
New York, on January 31.
At Oregon for 13 years. Dr. Clark re-
ceived his bachelors degree from Pasadena
College in 1931, and his masters and doc-
toral degrees from the University of South-
ern California. He has previously taught
at Pasadena College, Stockton Junior Col-
lege, and the College of the Pacific. Dr.
Clark was a Guggenheim Fellow in 1950
and 1951.

College History
The Columbia College of Eugene, fore-

subject of a detailed historical article by
University of Oregon's Head Social Science
Librarian, Perry D. Morrison, which ap-

the Oregon Historical Quarterly.
Its life although brief, 1856-1860. Colum-

According to Morrison the college had an
enrollment at one time of 150 students,

The Spirit of Service That Keeps on Growing
There is a heritage of service that
is passed on from one generation of
telephone people to another.
It had its beginning more than
eighty years ago when Alexander
Graham Bell gave the world its first
telephone. It has grown as the busi-
ness has grown.
Main' times each day and night
this spirit of service is expressed in
some friendly, helpful act for some-
one in need. The courtesy, loyalty
and teamwork that telephone people
put into their daily jobs are a part
of it.
Out of it have come the courage
and inspiration that have surmounted
fire and flood and storm.
We, the telephone people of today,
are vested with the responsibility of
carrying on this trust. It is human
to make mistakes and so at times
the job we do for you may not be all
that we want it to be. But in the long
run, we know that how we do our
individual job and how we bear
our individual responsibility will de-
termine how we fulfill our trust.
For our business is above all a
business of people ... of men and
women who live and work and serve
in countless communities through-
out the land.

Reaching for the moon
Once it meant the impossible ...
today it's a progress report on scientific research
WHO DARES call anything impossible today? Not when
research scientists are constantly seeking and finding
new wonders to improve the way you live.
ONLY A DREAM YESTERDAY... reality today. A gen
eration ago, Union Carbide scientists began taking oil
and natural gas apart and putting the pieces together
again in ways unknown to nature.
The result? A steady stream of entirely new chemi-
cals ... an average of one a month for the past 25
years. The benefits of these petroleum chemicals are
everywhere ?man-made textile fibers, amazing plastics,
life-saving wonder drugs, enduring paints and enamels
. . . the list is endless.
NOT ONLY CHEMISTRY has felt the touch of Union
Carbide research. Alloying metals that make possible
stainless and other fine steels, oxygen from the air for
medical and industrial use, a variety of carbon prod-
ucts?all have been developed, made better or more
abundant through UCC research.
AND THE MOON? The work of Union Carbide sci-
entists in new metals such as titanium, in rocket fuels,
and in the beneficial uses of atomic energy, is helping
man reach in that direction, too.

good...
Ask anyone who's been at it a while and he'll probably tellyou there's nothing quite so satisfying as helping today's
young people become tomorrow's citizens.
For whether it's the Boy Scouts, the Campfire Girls, the4-H Clubs or any one of a dozen other youth organizations,
folks who guide these groups seem to have one thing incommon ?the deep-down inner satisfaction that stems
from the realization that "I'm helping to build somethinggood." Many General Petroleum people have found this
to be true.
Chances are there's a youth organization in your commu-nity which you as a college alumnus will enjoy serving and
which will benefit from your participation.

Necrology
Dr. David Forbes, '07, retired physician
who practiced for many years in Jacksonville,
Oregon, and came to Seattle, Washington, in
1942, died on September 26, 1955. He had been
ill since suffering a stroke on September 2. He
was 80 years old.
Dr. Forbes was health examiner at the Seattle
port of embarkation before his retirement in
1952.
He is survived by his wife, two sons, and
three brothers.
A fatal heart attack suffered by Samuel C.
May, '19, professor of political science, emeri-
tus, and director emeritus of the Bureau of
Public Administration at the University of Cali-
fornia, on September 30, 1955, in New York,
terminated 35 years of public service and con-
tributions to the University.
At the time of his death May was traveling
to Italy, heading a delegation from the Univer-
sity, to assist the 860-year-old University of
Bologna in developing a training program in
public administration.
Samuel May was born in Portland, Oregon,
on December 7, 1887. After receiving a law
degree from Yale university in 1912, May prac-
ticed law for several years and entered the
University of Oregon, from which he received
his bachelor of arts degree in 1919. The follow-
ing year he was awarded his masters degree at
Columbia university.
In 1922 May became the guiding force in

founding the University of California's Bureau
of Public Administration, and in 1923 drafted
Berkeley's city manager charter.
Besides participation in numerous organiza-
tions in the field of public administration. May's
past activities include being chairman of the
California State Planning board, secretary-treas-
urer of the social science research conference of
the Pacific coast and executive vice-chairman of
the California State Council of Defense.
J. Hugh Pruett, '22, noted Eugene astrono-
mer, author, and educator, died at his home
November 20, 1955. He would have been 70 next
June.
A son of pioneer Oregon parents, both of
whom came to Oregon in wagon trains around
1848, Dr. Pruett was born June 20, 1886, at
Weston, Oregon.
Graduated from Linfield college in 1911, Dr.
Pruett received an honorary doctorate at Lin-
field in 1946, after doing graduate work at the
University of Chicago and the University of
Oregon.
Perhaps best known to the public as a tracer
of fallen meteorites, he was a director of the
American Meteor Society and for many years
plotted the courses of "shooting stars" passing
through western American skies, using postcard
and telephone information from eyewitnesses at
widely scattered points.
In 1947, Dr. Pruett authored 127 astronomical
articles for an encyclopedia published by Collier
and Sons. He also was a regular contributor to
scientific magazines, including Sky and Tele-
scope and an astronomical journal published by
Harvard LIniversity.
His only survivor is a sister, Mrs. Delia Pruett
Blaisdell of Portland.
Barristers of 35 Meet
Oregon's law school Class of 1935 cele-
brated its 20th anniversary during Home-
coming weekend. On Friday evening, No-
vember 18, twelve of the original 24 mem-
bers of the class with their wives joined
Dean and Mrs. Orlando John Hollis at a
special reunion dinner at the Eugene Hotel.
The 20th anniversary reunion for each
School of Law class, now in its third suc-
cessive year, is fast becoming one of the
traditions of an Oregon Homecoming.
Members of the Class of 1935 present
for the celebration included: Clifford S.
Beckett, Neal W. Bush, John T. Casey,
Elliot B. Cummins, Robert H. Foley, Alva
C. Goodrich, Judge Glen Hieber, Arthur
D. Jones, John W. Kendall, Roy J. Kilpat-
rick, William A. Palmer and A. Duane
Pinkerton.
Louis Skinner, an attorney at Reno. Ne-
vada, and a member of the Class of 1935,
telephoned long distance from Reno during
the reunion dinner to pay his respects to
former classmates. Everyone present had
an opportunity to greet him in the half-
hour long conference.
Two members of the class, now residents
of Eugene, who could not attend were Eu-
gene city attorney John W. Pennington,
and Wilbur P. Riddlesbarger.
Corwin Calavan, another member of the
class unable to be present, had followed a

doctrines which negate the basic principles of
its existence, or indifferent to practices which
would destroy it. Therefore a university can ar-
range no ideological compromise with Russian
communism.
AS I HAVE suggested, to many honest peo-ple a university is upsetting and dangerous
in that its members are always posing questions
and propositions which challenge comfortable
traditions and habits of mind. New knowledge
is apt to be painful to mature people, not exclud-
ing professors in universities. "The mass of us
lose early in life childhood's avid, if annoying,
zeal for asking questions." Progress can be very
disturbing. In science and technology, it may
render established industrial processes obsolete,
along with the capital invested in them. For ex-
ample, the discovery that steam could make
wheels revolve was no doubt painful to the early
mill owners whose economic advantage de-
pended on favorable water-power sites. Diesel
engines and hydroelectric power have been pain-
ful to the owners of the coal mines. What the
future application of atomic energy will do to
a lot of invested capital no one can yet say; but
it is bound to be unpleasant to some.
In the realm of ideas, new knowledge can be
even more disagreeable. "God offers to every
man," said Emerson, *'the choice between truth
and repose. Take which you please you can
never have both."
A university is dedicated to the proposition
that ideas matter. It supports the right, indeed
the duty, to use our heads. It denies that a na-
tion thinks with its blood, as Hitler boasted of
his unfortunate and misguided nation. As one
writer has recently expressed it, we may as well
write "finis" to the story of Western civilization
if we succumb to the belief that our future is
determined, for good or evil, by vast impersonal
forces outside the influence of the human intel-
lect.
OF COURSE there are patterns of human t
we are being swept along by powerful external
currents over which we have no control. Of
course events shape men. But let us never for-
get that men, through the power of ideas, also
shape events. Nothing has been more disastrous
in modern history than the adoration by Russia
and her satellites of the Marxist superstition of
economic determinism, the dogma by which
ideas are made to be but the reflection of econ-
omic forces which set a "future for society re-
gardless of the desires or thoughts of men."
Yes, ideas matter. But we might as well face
it; a democracy is prone to distrust, even de-
ride, intellectuals per se. The man who has a
good head, and exercises his right to use it, is
not apt to win a popularity contest on the
strength of his brains alone. When Woodrow
Wilson was running for the presidency, his
scholarly background was a favorite campaign
weapon against him. Hostile cartoonists ha-
bitually portrayed him in academic cap and
gown, often with a schoolmaster's rod in his
hand.
True, some intellectuals themselves have not
been without blame in the matter. For example,
in the generation between the two world wars,
various writers who enjoyed a wide following
(probably most of you have read some of their
works) and who gloried in the name "intellec-
tual," painted, in the words of Elmer Davis, "an
January-February 1956
almost unrelieved picture of a nation in process
of dissolution." But the nation refused to dis-
solve; and later in World War II "some who had
spent their lives proving that the United States
was not worth righting for went out and fought
for it like anyone else." The mistake of this type
of intellectuals is obvious. Their unwillingness
to examine critically the adequacy of their
knowledge and fully to test their assumptions
led them to stop thinking too soon. In doing so
they "alienated themselves from the world
around them," in favor of their own little, arti-
ficial, self-made worlds. Thereby they fell into
serious error. The trouble was, I repeat, that at
a certain point they quit thinking and let their
uncritical emotions take over. They were half-
way intellectuals although very articulate peo-
ple.
T HIS WAS particularly true of a naive fewwho, blind to the cruel purposes of the
Soviet rulers, allowed themselves to be seduced
by the mystical pseudo-science and the false
humanitarian enticements of international com-
munism. Their failure was not that they were
intellectual; their trouble was that they were not
intellectual enough. When exposed to the pre-
tensions of a revolutionary ideology, they evaded
a thorough self-examination of their beliefs, and
chose to neglect the totality of data essential to
the solution of their problem. The moral is that
when you use your head, use all of it.
But the apostasy of a pitiful few should not
blind us to society's need of men of curiosity
and of ideas. The times call for a new knowledge
as never before. Of course our society requires
all the courage and idealism it can muster, but
alone these qualities are of no avail against the
modern weapons of tyranny. As the President
of the United States has reminded us, these
weapons are not limited to military armaments;
indeed armaments are impotent except as there
is intelligence and will to use them or withhold
them wisely. Had our knowledge of other na-
tions of the world been greater (and in this I
include all Western peoples), had our views
been based less on old wornout knowledge and
attitudes, our psychological warfare over the
past decade would have been more successful
and our world position stronger today. This is
surely no time to slow down the pursuit of
knowledge; to rely on partial or faulty knowl-
edge even when it masquerades as common
sense.
T HE GOLDEN thread which keeps a uni-versity from decomposing into a multiver-
sity is similar to that which makes an integrated
personality a whole man. It is the essence of
liberal learning diffused throughout the
branches that binds a university together and
in so doing unifies the diverse aspects of human
life. We need this unifying principle terribly
today if we are to hold our society together. As
a wise colleague of mine has written, the power
to contain the divisive forces threatening the
wholeness of our social order lies only partly
in the realm of public and governmental policy.
Unless the individual man can defend his in-

tegrity as a man against the encroachments of
specialization and narrow concentration, how
can our factious society do any better in pre-
serving its unity against the centrifugal forces
which would tear it apart? In all Western his-
tory the one institution that has succeeded best
in sustaining the wholeness of life is the uni-
versity. That is still its function today. If it fails
no other instrumentality is available to take its
place. But it will not fail, and one reason is that
Michigan will not fail.
It is a serious and arrogant error to assume
that knowledge in one particular segment of
learning, however vast and deep, gives wisdom
in regard to the complex interrelations of life.
Therefore the advice to use your heads entails
more than accumulating and cataloging factual
knowledge; for such knowledge is but the cor-
ridor to something ever more difficult to acquire,
namely wisdom. "Knowledge comes," wrote Em-
erson, "but wisdom lingers." The widely publi-
cized Kinsey Reports may increase knowledge?
1 am not competent to pass on their scientific
methods or findings?but all their tables and
charts do not add up to wisdom. They don't tell
us what to do about sex even for the sake of our
own durable selfish happiness, let alone the
happiness of others under the Golden Rule. For
the wisdom which makes for happiness, the
readers of these reports must look to other
sources. The true function of knowledge is to
be the servant of wisdom; it is not a substitute
for wisdom; split off from wisdom it can destroy
us.
'T^HE ULTIMATE goal of a true university
?*- is wisdom. Its search proceeds along many
paths from many directions and points of origin.
But the essence, the hallmark of a university is
that these paths converge at a common point,
a homeland of the soul, as it were, wherein the
several aspects of the terrifically complex and
diverse, but miraculously articulated, human
personality meet and are resolved.
Wisdom is difficult to define; it is even hard
to describe what one means by it, and I shall
not attempt to do so now. Nevertheless it has a
meaning that we all comprehend in some man-
ner, and we recognize it when we see it. Its
essence is not alone capacity to command our
physical environment. It relates to ultimate
goals and the means by which we may attain
them. Its basis is the unity of knowledge in a
pattern that enables a human being to put all
his resources to work. In his Religio Medici Sir
Thomas Browne wrote three hundred years ago:
"Wisdom is God's most beauteous attribute; no
man can attain unto it, yet Solomon pleased
God when he desired it."
That those of us who teach and study in col-
leges and universities should be searching for
wisdom as well as knowledge may seem preten-
tious. But I hope that all of us involved either
in giving or receiving an education will never be
satisfied with any purpose less ambitious. Who
will deny that an education that aims at wisdom
is an education that deserves well of the Re-
public?

This Committee was authorized to hire
the engineering firm for the study. It also
chose the pumping system restoration pro-
posal from among the three alternatives.
Subsequently, the pumping proposal was
approved by the ASUO Senate and by the
University President 0. Merdith Wilson
last fall. The Alumni Executive Commit-
tee held a special session during Home-
coming and gave its okay to the idea.
Last December the ASUO Millrace Com-
mittee presented the proposal to the City
of Eugene Millrace Committee which ap-
proved it for recommendation to the Eugene
City Council.
Robert Lemon, '38, chairman of the City
of Eugene Millrace Committee, has said
that the restoration project would easily
receive the approval of the state highway
department since the pumping plan does
not interfere with a proposed highway by-
pass planned for construction in the future.
Part of the by-pass project would be the
construction of a bridge over the Willam-
ette river at Judkin's Point.
It has been estimated that once the City
Council votes on the Millrace question, res-
toration of the Race could conceivably
start as early as the summer of 1957.
While waiting for the City Council to
approve the restoration plan, the University
has optimistically gone ahead with plans
for future recreation on the Millrace.
In October, President Wilson authorized
the expenditure of $2,000 from the Student
Union-Educational Activities Fund for a
boathouse to be built during Winter term
along the north bank of the Race, east of
the physical plant. The cost includes con-
struction of the house and the purchase of
four canoes. Capacity of the boathouse
will be about 20 canoes. If the construc-
tion schedule is met, students should be
able to go canoeing on the Millrace by
spring.
Administration of the boathouse and
other future recreation facilities along the
Millrace will be under the direction of the
student union as part of its recreation pro-
gram. However, facilities will be avail-
able to both students and townspeople.
Ground-breaking ceremonies for the new
boathouse were held in November during
Homecoming. Orville Thompson '35, Pres-
ident of the Alumni Association, turned
the first shovelful of dirt. Members of the
ASUO Millrace Committee and the Alumni
Executive Committee were present at the
ceremony.
Plans have also been made for a new

24 Old Oregon
University Student Newspaper Has
56th Anniversary on February 12
February 12, 1956, was the 56th anni-
versary of the Oregon Daily Emerald, which
grew from one issue a week student news-
paper to a full-fledged campus daily?so
observes Anne Ritchey, '56, of Salem, a
senior in journalism and News Editor of the
Oregon Daily Emerald, in a recent Emerald
story.
According to Miss Ritchey, smallest of
the issues ever published under the name
Emerald were four-page, five-columns?and
the largest single issue ever published was
the special Christmas, 1955 edition of 36
magazine-size pages. The Emerald news
editor notes that the University of Oregon
newspaper was born with the 20th century,
its immediate predecessor being the Oregon
Weekly which was a product of much hard
work and idealism for students of that era
who wanted a student publication at Ore-
gon for so many years.
The first administration-allowed student
publication on the campus was The Re-
flector in 1891, a joint effort of the Laurean
and Eutaxian societies. After its early death
came The Bulletin, a monthly endeavor,
which attempted to report campus happen-
ings, and as News Editor Ritchie writes,
was the beginning of the first news-oriented
student publication at Oregon. However,
both the Bulletin and its predecessor, The
Reflector, were under strict supervision of
the faculty and administration. But the ap-
pearance of the Oregon Weekly in 1900,
which was controlled by students, created
the direct lineage down to present day,
student-opsrated Oregon Daily Emerald.
The first appearance of the name Oregon
Emerald was on September 29, 1909, when
the campus weekly began appearing twice
a week to meet increasing student needs for
more frequent news. It is believed that the
name "Emerald" came from Joaquin Mil-
ler, nationally-famous Oregon poet of that
time, who used the word constantly when
referring to the state of Oregon.
The Emerald started publishing three
times a week in 1912, when it reduced page
size to five columns for a period of 14 issues,
thereafter expanding to eight columns,
Miss Ritchie writes.
In 1941 the Emerald again reverted to
the 5-column format, or tabloid size, which
has been the consistent format ever since.
In 1921 the Emerald went daily, delivering
its daily copies to dormitories and the Co-
op store. This was the begining of student
body funds being applied to finance distri-
bution costs.
An Oregon Sunday Emerald appeared in
January-February 1956
1922, edited by the late Ernest Haycox. His
son, Jim Haycox was Emerald editor in
1953.
Of the several homes which have housed
Emerald staffs and equipment over the
years, probably none was better loved than
the traditional Emerald "Shack," a wooden
structure north of Friendly Hall, which
Allen Hall now occupies. When the old
School of Journalism building became a
reality, the Emerald offices were moved into
the basement of this building, which ad-
joined the old McClure Hall and soon ac-
quired the label of "Shack" from its prede-
cessor.
In 1947, a quonset hut, just south of the
Journalism building was constructed for the
Emerald staffers. When in 1953-54 McClure
and the old Journalism building were torn
down, to make way for the new Allen Hall,
the Emerald was moved again down near
the Commonwealth Hall into more quonsets.
This was short-lived. For the student daily's
offices were soon moved into another quon-
set alongside Deady Hall, where now the
Psychology Department conducts animal
experiments.
Came the fall of 1954, and Oregon's
campus daily moved into "a shiny new
office with Venetian blinds and fluorescent
lights," slates Miss Ritchie. Here, today's
Emerald staff reposes, "looking, for all the
world, like a professional newspaper with
its copychute, straight copydesk and aver-
tising layout tables, not to mention three
telephone numbers," Miss Ritchie con-
cludes.

"Anchorage" to be built along the north
bank of the Millrace. The plans were
created by University architecture students
under the direction of Professor W. S.
Hayden. The plans which have been
turned over to the ASUO Millrace Com-
mittee call for an enlarged boathouse, a
snack bar, banquet dining rooms, and park-
ing space.
This development is one of several major
steps planned by the ASUO Committee to
turn the Millrace area into a true recreation
spot for both Eugene and the University.
Complete landscaping of the upper Mill-
race area is also included in the Commit-
tee's plans.

Columbia College
(Continued from page 11)
the instruction of Columbia College was on
a college-preparatory rather than collegi-
ate level.
In Morrison's mind, the life of the insti-
tution was characterized by "financial fi-
asco, two fires, and a felony." All the dis-
asters can be traced to the influence of the
tensions which preceded the Civil War
upon a small college in frontier Oregon.
The felony was an attempted homicide by
one Professor Ryan which ended the active
life of the college. Ryan, states Morrison,
was a man of "strong and militant South-
ern sympathy," who served briefly as pres-
ident of the institution in its latter days. In
a violent protest over certain letters which
had appeared in the People's Press. Ryan
shot at its editor, B. J. Pengra. The bullet
missed Pengra, but the college did not sur-
vive the incident.

Dr. Neal F. Cornish, Professor emeritus
of Business Administration, has announced
that he will award a $1,000 scholarship to
the junior student with the highest academ-
ic standing in retail merchandising. The
Comish scholarship award will be made at
the annual meeting of the Oregon Retailer
Distributors institute which meets on the
University campus February 20.
Professor Comish, before retiring in 1953,
organized the Oregon Retailer Distributors
Institute, and served as its executive secre-
tary. He was a member of the University of
Oregon faculty for 21 years. Dr. Comish
received his bachelor degree from Utah
State College, and his master's and doctor-
al degrees from the University of Wisconsin.

With a "Kleporama"
One of the nation's top military and scien-
tific illustration artists. Rolf Klep, '27. was
honored at the October 20 dinner meeting
of the New \ork Alumni Club, which was
held at the Hotel Barbizon.
Highlight of the evening was the showing
of more than 130 color transparencies of
Klep's artistic achievements from grade
school to his present-day double-page
spreads appearing in Life, Look, Colliers,
and other leading publications. The slide
show was aptly titled. "Kleporama."
New York Alumni Club's president,
Philip Bergh, '27, classmate and long-time
personal friend of Klep's. introduced the
honored member of the New York group by
paying tribute to Rolf Klep's pre-eminence
loday in the rendering of highly scientific
and accurate illustrations for military and
commercial publications. A recent example
of Klep's work is a nearly full page, four-
color painting of the U. S. S. Forrestal, one
of the navy's newest aircraft carriers, which
is now appearing in a full page Shell Oil
Company advertisement in leading national
magazines.
Explanatory comment during the slide
presentation was given by Phil Bergh, and
supplemented in a most vivid and clear
manner by Klep's own explanations of the
purposes and uses of various pieces of art.
Klep described how he assembled the ne-
cessary information for technical illustra-
tions, how they were rendered, and finally
how they were published.
"Kleporama" was divided into the several
phases of Rolf Klep's art career: commer-
cial art at Portland and Chicago, Commer-
cial art at New York in 1930s, navy and
service art in wartime (Klep served as a
Lieutenant Commander in the Navy during
World War II), art for postwar military
articles, postwar art for commercial ads and
stories, renderings and details of liner,
"United States." post-Korea military art,
illustrations on atomic power, and art on
space ships and inter-planetary travel.
Thirty-four New York alumni attended
this meeting to honor Rolf Klep, in spite of
an unseasonable storm and transportation
difficulties. Among the alumni present was
Leonabel Jacobs, '11, distinguished East
coast portrait and water-color artist.

(Continued from page 7)
MARK OF A TRUE CHRISTIAN
Rev. Julian Keiser, pastor of the Salem
First Congregational church, officiated at
the 34-minute service. Rev. Mr. Keiser said
that the late governor, "had the integrity
of character which is the mark of a true
Christian and without which a society soon
becomes hopelessly corrupt."
The pastor added "that his entire life
was characterized by a deep devotion to the
meaning of citizenship in a democracy. He
gave unstintingly of himself in every possi-
ble movement for the good of his communi-
ty, state and nation. He was particularly
concerned about the development of minds
and characters of Oregon's youth."
Rev. Mr. Keiser said, "There is for us the
comfort and strength of having witnessed a
life well lived. We can be thankful for the
gifts of Paul Patterson to us: The selfless-
ness of his service, his high ideals, his reso-
lute integrity, his strength of character, his
devotion to duty and to the common good.
All these and more are left in his legacy
to each of us to appropriate now to our-
selves."
Senate President Elmo E. Smith, 46-year-
old John Day weekly newspaper publisher,
succeeded the late Paul L. Patterson as gov-
ernor of Oregon. Smith took the oath of
office as governor at 9:36 a.m., Wednesday,
February 1, 1956.
UNIVERSITY MOURNS LOSS
An entire state mourned over the untime-
ly death of its governor. But nowhere was
the grief more pronounced than at the Uni-
versity of Oregon.
President 0. Meredith Wilson summed up
faculty and student feelings alike in his
statement:
"We are all shocked to learn of the death
of Governor Patterson. He was no ordinary
public servant. With patience, understand-
ing, and quiet dignity he has assembled his
facts and worked for the welfare of the
state. Apparently in his tireless efforts to
serve us, he wore his life away.
"He will be missed everywhere in Oregon
but nowhere more than at the University,
his alma mater, of which he was always a
friend and benefactor. The governor and his
wife have long occupied a special place in
the affections of the campus. It is difficult
for me to express adequately to his wife,
children and friends the loss which we feel
in his passing. The University will miss
him, for he was a real statesman."
Dr. John R. Richards, chancellor of the
state board of higher education since last
July, issued the following statement re-
garding the death of Governor Patterson:
"Throughout his adult lifetime, Paul Pat-
terson evidenced real leadership in advanc-
ing the education of his people, but it is in
the broader sense as a statesman and friend
that we share the tragic loss with all Ore-
gonians."
FACULTY VOTES RESOLUTION
The Faculty of the University of Oregon
at a special meeting on February 1, adopted
by unanimous vote the following resolution
of recognition to the late Governor Paul L.
Patterson, and sympathy to his wife, Mrs.
Patterson. The resolution was presented to
the faculty by Dr. James H. Gilbert, profes-
sor emeritus of economics, and one of the
late governor's teachers while Patterson
was a student at the University:
"Whereas, on January 31, 1956, death
came suddenly to Paul Linton Patterson,
distinguished alumnus of the University of
Oregon, well known to and highly esteemed
by many members of the Faculty, and
"Whereas, Governor Patterson, through-
out his long career as legislator and chief
executive of the State showed a deep sincere
interest in higher education and gave con-
sistent and loyal support to measures affect-
ing the welfare of state institutions of high-
er learning, and
"Whereas, the University of Oregon has
always been proud to point to his career
of faithful and enlightened public service
as reflecting credit on his alma mater.
"Now be it resolved by the University
of Oregon Faculty that we take official rec-
ognition of the tragic loss to the Common-
wealth of Oregon at his untimely death
when many more years of public service
seemed to lie ahead, and
"Be it further resolved that we express
to Georgia Benson Patterson and her fam-
ily our sincere sympathy on the occasion
of this their tragic bereavement."
ASUO student body president Bud Hink-
son issued the following statement on
Wednesday, February 1, concerning the
sudden death of Governor Paul L. Patter-
son:
"The Governor is dead. Our state has
lost a great man; a concerned, well in-
formed administrator; a sincere, forthright
politician; and above all, a real leader.
"The Oregon student body shares with
the Patterson family, and with all the peo-
ple of Oregon, this very deep personal loss.
For with the passing of Paul Patterson,
passes an especially close friend of this
University.
"We could dwell on his contributions,
but words are generally cheap in the tribute
to such a figure?and certainly here is a
man for which sufficiently expressive words
are hard to find.
"So let it suffice to say what we are here
acknowledging his contribution; and im-
plied in our acknowledgement is the hope
that in the spirit of Paul Patterson, this uni-
versity and this state will continue in its
present upward course."
CONVOCATION FOR PATTERSON
A campus wide convocation was held
Tuesday afternoon, February 7, 1956, in the
Erb Memorial Student Union, to pay spe-
cial tribute to the late Paul L. Patterson.
Four members of the faculty participated
in the memorial service.
Dean Orlando J. Hollis, of the School of
Law, gave a personal sketch of Governor
Patterson's life, describing his life of service
to the University, to his community, and to
the state.
President 0. Meredith Wilson, described
Paul Patterson in terms of a great public
servant. The president said, "There was
little time in his life which was not invested
in public service."
The president spoke of Governor Patter-
son's philosophy of public life: that each
person owes a debt of service to both his
community and government which can be
paid only through public service.
Carlton E. Spencer, former professor
of law, told of Governor Patterson's student
days at Oregon. He told of Paul Patter-
son's outstanding record as a student, and
the respect in which others held him. "There
was no resentment among his fellow stu-
dents," Professor Spencer said, "because of
his innate modesty and respect for the
opinions of others."
"While in school, Patterson felt that he
was the beneficiary of a great privilege in
being able to get an education," Spencer
said. "Upon graduation he felt that he owed
public service to the University and the state
as a whole," he added.
Dr. Victor P, Morris, Dean of the School
of Business, gave the invocation and the
benediction.
The University Singers, a chorus of 70
student voices, under the direction of Max
Risinger, assistant professor of music, sang
two selections?"The Winging Souls," by
Arthur Worrell, and "Kryie Eleison," by
Milton Dieterich.
