JUNE, 192 3
The Old-Fashioned Commencemen t
By LAURA MILLER,  7
T WENTY - FOUR photographs, cabinet size, taken b yClarence Winter and Sue Dorris, are ranged on the desk
before me. Good heavens ! Were they as young as that, th e
men and women of the graduating class of 7? Serious a s
that, dressed like thatSomewhere, in the last twenty-si x
years, those photographs have learned to lie .
Could they have learned it in China, I wonder g
told me that I should see nothing like the class of 7 in China.
I took them there . They half filled the tray of, my trunk .
They helped in times of homesickness to make me more home-
sick still. They may have lost some veracity there . I kno w
that they picked up a strange, musty incense odor of th e
Orient. Like the violets I bought once from a little Chines e
flower vendor, "they belong very smell ."
Or could it have been in our Portland basement in th e
white pigskin box from which Ie just taken them? Ther e
they were in bad company . Old college essays of mine ,
crammed with false sentiments, tied with actual red tape, were
in that box . So was the glossy black pigtail of a Chines e
junk pirate, beheaded for his crimes n
diploma--with my first name misspelled
They Were Old Men and Women The
Well, wherever it was, they no longer tell the exact truth .
When I graduated (I believe they say "is graduated" now )
these were portraits of quite old men and women of tremendou
accomplishments, with four college years, practically all o f
life, behind them. Yet a gay crew for all that ; and dressed
in the latest fashion .
The photographs now show round-cheeked boys e
awful seriousness of the early twenties they look me straight
in the eye over stiff collars of an unbelievable height . Al l
but "Frisky" Fisk whose neck, being of the bungalow, rathe r
than the skyscraper type of architecture, was never encom-
passed by so high a wall. Perhaps that is why "Frisky" re-
tains a contemporary look . Whatever brows were in thos e
days, collars were high . Bow ties were worn ,
and the hair, parted in the exact middle, bore traces of th e
wet comb
The name is written on the back of each one, J . Higgins,
Lee M . Travis, Homer I . Keeney, and so on . Earl Churc h
wrote Monsieur de Lglise on his . French was his grea t
interest then, and he shocked some of us by reading Frenc h
novels, quite unnecessarily, on his own
And these quaint old-fashioned young girls, were thes e
the women of 7? Not one of them looks me straight in th e
eye. Wasn it done in those days? Or did the photographe r
think it unbecoming? "Dude" Cooper gazes with downcas t
orbs at her right shoulder r
exhibit profiles. "Peg" Underwood and Belle Brown and th e
rest look dreamily into space
look her prettiest in her white organdie commencement gown,
all ruffles and lace about the shoulders.
Some of the gowns are high and some are Iow. The frock s
were made accommodating with detachable yokes, which, taken
out, left an evening gown cut just belowa modest collar bone.
A very dressy full length portrait of "Bob" Lauer shows a
wide ruffled skirt reaching the floor . "Bob" had no fee t
apparently, not to mention ankles.
My own dress . I remember, cost $11 .75, and was almost
imported, being made to order by a modiste in Tennessee. I t
was a pretty dress . I wore out completely the low-necke d
edition.
But that was a long time ago.
A picture of the whole class shows 7 in a gayer mood .
With shut eyes (it must have been a blinding flash) every one
is smiling. We are seated around a banquet table in th e
restaurantdo luxe of our day, in a small room heated by a n
air-tight stove, the most conspicuous object in the photograph.
It is a banquet of an elegance . Lace-edged paper napkin s
rise from tumblers, there are saucers of pickles, there are high
glass dishes full of soda crackers, and eight-count them ,
eight-bottles of tomato catsup . Beneath the picture is writ -
ten "In honor of `Frisky  our Newberg Victor ." It wasn ,
as one might suppose from the emptiness of the table, a lob-
ster Newberg victory. As a matter of fact, we were waitin g
for half a dozen canned oysters. No, indeed, with that round,
mellow voice of his Fred Fisk had won the state and interstate
oratorical contest, and we were that proud of him !
EachHad a Lasting Souvenir .
It is borne in upon me, as I look them over again, that the
photographs do not lie after all ; that twenty-six years is a
long time ; and these pictures are a part, not of yesterday s
commencement as I thought, but of the old-time commence-
ment. "The time-honored custom of exchanging pictures, "
says the University of Oregon Monthly of June-July, 1897 ,
"was complied with and each member of the class has a lasting
souvenir of every member."
Inwardly it was a friendly, intimate time, the old-fashioned
commencement; but outwardly it was, in the main, a verbos e
and pompous occasion when learning stalked in some of it s
most solemn and terrifying aspects.
Collegians of the present can have no idea what an im-
portant college, town, county, even state event commencement
was.
Festivities were few. Oregon had no sororities nor frater-
nities in those days r
lived there. There were occasional dances in the gymnasium,
but, for the most part, when they waltzed or two-stepped a t
all, "the Elite tripped the light fantastic until the wee sma 
hours" (I quote from a Register of the day) at Deacon Davis

Ninth Street dancing school. There were boating parties o n
the mill race, not, in that safe and sane era, in tippy canoes,
but in flat-bottomed boats that were always springing leaks .
The men rowed valiantly and the women hailed. And ther e
were class parties to which the more opulent men took th e
women in Bang one cab . In this dearth of entertainment ,
town and college looked toward commencement as one gloriou
week of crowded life .
Commencement a Great Celebratio n
For the county, commencement week was excelled only by
the Fourth of July celebration . The county drove in fro m
every direction in farm wagons, buckboards, buggies, parasol-
topped hacks y
especially saw rigs hitched all around the campus. Throug h
Villard Hall open windows you might hear a horse nicke r
in the middle of a prayer.
And the state contributed noticeably to commencemen t
week. Preachers and other speakers of state-wide import-
ance came, men, sometimes, who had travelled in Europe, a
vague continent mentioned in history and known by experience
to the very few . And the Oregonian printed it all in detail ,
columns andeolumns  d
been Educated
Many found that week in June too short ; no one foun d
it too long . How could it seem long, combining as it di d
religion, sociability, athletics, solid learning, all in one annual
grand splurge?
It began with the Baccalaureate Sunday service in Villard
hall. If I remember correctly the service was the only morn-
ing service held in 1ngene that day -
out a bench to sit on, people hurried to it as they will hurr y
when Gabriel blows the last trump. Villard hall was deco -
rated with florist and everybody else palms and rubbe r
trees and with fragrant greenery from the woods . Regent s
and faculty sat embowered on the stage.
Local ministers led in prayer, Mr. Loveridge of the Epis-
copal church, perhaps, or the Presbyterian Mr. Gilbert, who
was later to serve as chaplain in two wars and become known
as the "Fighting Parson ." But the heavenward guidance o f
a local minister was never trusted in the sermon. The preach-
ing divine always came from Away . Once it was the gentl e
T. L . Eliot, Unitarian pastor of Portland . Once it was tha t
fervid exhorter, the Reverend J. R. N. Bell of Corvallis .
I wish that I could remember who preached 7 sermon .
I can remember the minister, the sermon, the text. I can t
remember one thing about that Sunday except the dress I had
made for it.. It was of g reen, white and black checked silk,
trimmed with changeable green and red a
green silk apron drapery, but I think that was after I ha d
spilled a cup of tea down it at the president reception.
I make this confession to show how feminine in its reac-
tions was the mind of even a college woman in those days .
This year graduate, I have no doubt, will look back afte r
twenty-six years with more intellectual recollections, and will
produce the text, the whole sermon perhaps, from some neatl
labelled pigeon hole of her mind .
On Monday there were other doings. The school of musi c
gave a concert. In 5 Stella Dorris was sole graduate . N o
concert in town or college thereafter was ever complete without
her, and the Register and the Guard always alluded to her as
OLD OREGON

"Eugene sweetest singer" or "Eugene favorite songster, "
invariably "the recipient of many congratulations and beauti-
ful flowers!"
Tuesday was Field Day. Out of foggy memories of thes e
athletic contests come Dell Iiuykendall hurdling, Leslie Scott
riding in a mad bicycle race, Ivan DeLashmutt, with ever y
bone near dislocation from his wild walking.
The afternoon was marked by the president reception .
Again my memory tricks me . Why don I remember th e
receiving line of celebrities? Why do I remember nothing bu t
Homer Keeney taking lemon, cream and sugar all at one tim
in his tea? His startled face looking down at the curdle d
beverage is the one recorded picture of these formal occasions.
It Rained on Class Da
Wednesday was Class Day. At two olock the class tre e
was planted with an oration, and a poem notable for it s
poetic licenses. The present day campus owes much of it s
shade to this pleasant old arboreal custom . Ninety-seve n
thought the campus had trees enough. Some one suggeste d
that a bronze plate be attached to one of the big oaks tha t
"just growed " there . Unfortunately i t
rained and the ceremony was another `llard hall affair .
"This," according to the University of Oregon Monthly fo r
June-July, 1897, "broke to a certain extent the solemnity of
the occasion, but all in all the members were made to feel tha
the joyous old college days were soon to end and that this old
stalwart oak was to be a reminder of them when at any tim e
in the future the campus is visited."
In the eveningthere was an address before the University
Well-known professional men gave these addrsss. In thos e
days speakers, aside from ministers, were usually lawyers .
Rotary Clubs were then unknown ; advertising, that present
day curse, was in its infancy ; and no mere business man ex
pressed himself in public on a platform. In 95 the speake
was Judge George H. Williams, one of the most prominen t
men in the state, and, at one time, a member of Presiden t
Grant cabinet
In 6 C . E. S. Wood spoke. In 7 Hon . H. H. Northrup.
In 8 B . F . Irvine, now editor of the Portland Journal, the n
editor of the Corvallis Times, delivered the address His sub-
ject was "Two Soldiers and Two Battles" : Napoleon at Water-
loo and Dewey at Manila -

isle War and members of the class were hound for the Philip
pines with the Second Oregon. Commencement wasn quit e
itself that year.
But all these exercises were mere steps to the grand climax,
Commencement Day itself t
of a night !
ThePrevious ClassHad 16 Orator
Perhaps I am mistaken t
class allowed to elect orations. Ninety-six delivered sixteen :
four Charles Sumners, one Louis Agassiz, three Edubation an
Patriotisms, and one each of other subjects chosen by Mis s
Carson of the English department, and ranging from civi l
service reform to "Better fifty years of Europe than a cycl e
of Cathay."
In 7 twelve who had the courage to endure the sound of
their own pronncements chose orations d
by three graduates of the law school in Portland . These re-
cruits enabled 7 to produce as long and wearisome a pro -
gram as any previous class had done e
for meals, for breakfast even. Until the Alumni Banquet that
night all of the feasting of the day was intellectual, heavy ,
indigestible .the
modern moving picture audience
Commencement Day of 7 comes back in some detail.
I recall the masses of bouquets heaped on tables just out
side the doors. Town and county had saved flowers fro m
their dooryards for a week for those bouquets -
admired silver basket filled with pansies. This was for Ad a
Hendricks, leader in all of 7 good times . I recall m y
bursting. pride in a hot house bouquet, my very first, a n
armful of white carnations brought from Portland.
The springy fragrance . of the decorations smote us; and
we walked solemnly up the aisle, the men in decent black ,
the women in those fluffy white organdies (high-necked ver-
sion).. The three judges, Fred Dunn, H . H. Northrup, judge
of Multnomah county, and Hon. D. P. Thompson, ex-ministe
to Turkey, sat in the aisles . They were like importan t
promontories jutting out from the main audience
The Unemancipated Woman of
I recall. . . how primitive and unemancipated the wo-
man graduate of those days ! . . . I recall the .elation tha
filled me during that sober march, because I, I and not on e
of my classmates, was walking up the aisle under the gaze of
1500 pairs of eyes, with a strange and handsome law graduat
from Portland.
Then we, 7, and the faculty, the regents, and "a number
of prominent citizens" were seated on the platform . Ther e
was a song, a prayer, the oratorical contest was on.
Oh, if the tangled affairs of the world could only h e
administered according to graduation orations ! These ora-
tions were on tremendous subjects, crammed with high -
sounding platitudes, featuring Omnipotence of Thought, om-
nipotence of character, the Powers of Nature, the Wings o f
the Soul, luminous honors, gigantic cataclysms transfiguring
the entire political world, American liberty engulfed in th e
seething waters of political chaos, Aspirations, Ideals, Atlantis
God, Washington, Wagner, Euclid, Grant, Mohammed, Lincoln,
Beethoven, Alexander, Anarchy, Despotism, Ignorance, Th e
Hudson Bay Company, Mars, Marcus Whitman, Columbus,
the British Constitution, the germ of Liberty grown in a fre e
atmosphere, unfettered by Iron-clad Tyranny, the Ship o f
State bearing up with ease the dead weight of many dangers
thrown on her decks.
These allusions, these phrases are not from memory. Th e
text of the orations lies before me . There seems to be one
important omission r
Magna Charts . I am forced to believe that it was neve r
granted.

OLD OREGO N
The orations were punctuated by appropriate gestures ;
and, occasionally, where a new paragraph began, the orator
paced about the stage a bit in the manner of Demosthene s
on the Mediterranean shore
The judges scribbled
ing on every syllable . For words, written or spoken, wer e
honored then to a degree impossible in this mechanical mov-
ing picture era.
Charlie Kahn of the Law School observed the nonchalant
gestures, the neat steps, with envy. He had learned his speech;
but he had been taught no frills. In the middle of his argu-
ment he decided to essay a flourish t
hand, gazed at it, hadn the faintest idea what to do with it ,
and solved the problem by deliberately and daintily scratchin
his head and dropping his hand again in safety to his side ,
We all thought he showed great presence of mind .
I recall Kate Kelly waving a gloved hand as if pointin g
to some muezzin on a minaret, and saying apropos of th e
Turks and their atrocities, "They do it all in the name o f
Allah." She wholeheartedly recommended that the Turks b e
annihilated. Whereupon Kate seemed to lose the prize .
D. P . Thompson would hardly think the Turks "A Blot upon
Civilization," worthy of nothing but extermination. His ow n
career had been too much involved with them for that. An d
so the orations, mercifully interspersed with music, went on,
and on, and on.
Clinton Woodson won the Failing prize, and Ida Nof f -
singer, with a highly imperialistic plea (Imperialism was i n
vogue then) won the Beekman . "Frisky" whom we woul d
have exhibited with so much pride to a listening world, wa s
at home in bed.
The Latin Had Been Bungle d
President Chapman gave us each what was, to all appear-
ances, a diploma tied with yellow ribbon. It wasn a diploma .

It Will Be a Substantial Summer Sessio n
By MARGARET A, SCOTT,  3
A BOUT the time that the delicate fragrance of the lo-custs prevades the air around the administration build-
ing, a queer feeling comes over the senior who is about to be
graduated. He is soon going to leave the campus with littl e
prospect of returning except, perhaps, when the whol e
crowd gathers at the next Homecoming, or when, about t o
transfer to a new "job," he stops off between trains t o
glance at the old haunts . But each year the lure of th e
campus for the old student increases, as the opportunities fo
graduate work in his chosen field become greater y
is this true of the six-weeks summer session, which is a con-
venient period when the old grad, or the former student, can
renew his associations with the campus while heaping u p
credits in the registrar office .
At the campus summer session this year-from June 2 7
to August 4-courses are being offered in 21 departments ,
with emphasis throughout upon advanced and graduate work
Members of the regular faculty will at this time be assiste d
by well-known professors who are specialists in their re-
spective fields, these men coming from the Atlantic seaboard
and the Middle West as well as from Pacific coast states .
At the disposal of both the faculty and the students will b e
the entire equipment of the University in class rooms, labora-
tories, and library facilities.
Assemblies to be Dail y
As an added mental stimulus there will be the daily as-
serablies in Guild hall, when lectures will be given by mein -
hers of the faculty, as well as visitors from the Portland ses-
sion, including Dr. Samuel Bannister Harding, professor o f
history at the University of Minnesota, and Dr . Horace A .
Eaton, professor of English at Syracuse University . Fo r
exercise and recreation, Dr . John F . Bovard, dean of th e
school of physical education, has planned a series of activitie
such as hikes, picnics, and a three-day outing into the moun-
tains around Eugene. Of course the millrace will afford a
cool refuge during the warm weather, and will probabl y
be a close rival of the spacious tanks in the Woman buildin
A number of faculty people at the University are indulging in th e
pastime of discovering new views of old campus beauty spots .
One was quite excited over having kodaked Hello Lane with a
perfectly new set of shadows-but the negative was spoiled e
is a glimpse of Johnson hall (a lministration) with the Delt a
Gamma house and Newman Club (formerly Phi Delta Theta) i n
the background . The picture was secured by Dr . B . W . DeBwsk,
professor of education .
and the men gym. In addition to these features there is a
comprehensive sports program.
As to the courses themselves, probably the greatest variet
is to be found in the departments of English, education ,
science and mathematics, history, and physical education .
Courses in the remaining departments are fewer in number,
but equally broad in scope. English, under the direction o f
Dr. Ernest S. Bates and Miss Mary Watson, assisted. by Dr.
Charles H. Whitman, head of the department of English a t
Rutgers college, offers instruction in short story and advance
writing, contemporary drama, nineteenth century Englis h
prose, the novel, Dante, Shelley, Shakespeare, criticism, En-
glish romantic poetry, and philosophy.
Dr. Johnson of St . Paul Comin g
The department of education has as a particular attractio
Superintendent William J . Cooper of the Fresno (Calif .)
schools, who will give courses in the supervision of instruc-
tion and in problems of school administration . Anothe r
visitor in the department is Dr. O. J. Johnson, of the burea
of educational research in St. Paul, an expert in the field o f
intelligence testing . Johnson will offer study in educa-
tional psychology and research and in intelligence tests .
Practical application of theories . will he possible through th
University high school, in which a class will be held daily for
demonstration purposes . Stetson, Elbert
L. Hoskin, Mrs. Margaret Goodall, and Rollien Dickerson will
be on the education faculty also.
Dr. Joseph Schafer, superintendent of the Wisconsi n
Historical Society, and well known as a member of the Uni-
versity faculty several years ago, will, with Dr . Charles
Wendell David, professor of history at Bryn Mawr, and Dr .
Dan E. Clark of Oregon, give lectures in history .
Physical Science Will Have Colloquiu m
A physical sciences colloquium has been planned by th e
department of physics in conjunction with the departmentsf
chemistry and mathematics s
offered in these three departments by Dr . A . E . Caswell,
Dr. W. E. Milne, Dr. F. L. Shinn, Professor E. E. DeCou and
Assistant Professor H . G. Tanner.
Under Dr. E . S . Conklin, acting dean of the graduat e
school, and Dr. Raymond H. Wheeler, interesting courses ma
be taken in the department of psychology, and under Dea n
F. G. Young in sociology. Taking all the courses as a . whole
they cover a broad field, and include almost everything tha t
could be included in a six weeksperiod.
Portland Summer Cc urses Are 5 5
A LTHOUGH the old graduate would probably prefer th ecampus summer session to the Portland session, he would
find, if he were unable to come up the valley, that Portlan d
would probably satisfy his educational wants . For Port -
land offers training in 55 branches in 16 departments.
Perhaps the newest feature connected with the Portlan d
session, which will be held in Lincoln high school, is th e
training school for Americanization workers. This work, o f
a specialized nature, will have a particular appeal to socia l
workers -

Outlinesof the Life of Henry Villar d
By MISS CAMILLA LEAC H
Henry Mars, journalist aril finat Bier, for whom s
named inrecognition of his timely goodness in saving the Univer-
sity from being closed for debt, and for his man y
other benefactions .
Ito bestow a gift on the University of Oregon wa s
Henry Villard, and he gave grandly. When, in the earl y
80, he was occupied with railway interests in this Northwes
and his attention was called to the needs of Oregon newly -
founded State University, he sent a message to the Orego n
legislature, stating that if that body would provide, as far a s
possible, for its state school, he would endow it . Doubtless ,
the legislators did what they could in this thinly settled state,
and Henry Villard gift made some support a certainty. His
endowment was $5.5,000 in Northern Pacific R . R . bonds ,
which, at four percent, has given the University $2,200 annual-
ly for forty years . He gave other gifts ; paid a $7000 debt on
Deady Hall; the salary of a professor ; the cost of apparatus;
sent $1000 worth of books to the library; total about $12,000.
Twice in his life of 65 years, Henry Villard was possessed
of wealth and gave generously to undertakings and organiza-
tions beneficial to his fellow men . The University Librar y
contains the "Memoirs of Henry Villard, Journalist an d
Financier, 1835-1900" in two volumes d
by his family after his death, but are chiefly autobiographical.
The first pages record his ancestry, his happy boyhood in his
native Bavaria, his early interest in republican principles, the
vicissitudes of his college life.
His baptismal name was Ferdinand Heinrich Gustav Hil-
gard, but he became so widely known during the Civil War in
this country as the newspaper correspondent Henry Villard,
that he legally adopted that name d
royalist in an important legal position, a forceful man wh o
was determined that his only son should study law. Henr y
loved literature and aesthetics and after closely studying law
for some months, he determined to escape from his ster n
father control and try to make a successful career in thi s
country d
in southernIllinois
In New York Without Mone
In November 1853 Henry Villard landed it) New York, a
lad of 18, without acquaintance in that city, without money,
with insufficient clothing, not knowing a word of the English
language. The story of his attempts at self-support is ver y
interesting but there is not space for it here . One ventur e
was sending a letter of appeal to his relatives in Illinois. Three
weeks later, a reply was received, stating that his relative s
did not care to see him until they knew the reason of his coin-
ing to America but enclosing a draft of $50.
Then followed a. year of effort, of change of place by un-
comfortable travel until Chicago was reached in October 1854.
In Chicago he found a friendly German, brother of a play -
mate, who kept an emigrant boarding-house and gave the lad
a room while occupation was sought without result. One morn-
ing, an advertisement appeared in the Chicago Staats Zeitung,
requesting that Henry address immediately he sent to Belle-
ville, Illinois.
A Home Was Offered Hi m
It was from a young relative, recently from Germany who
un receiving reply, went to Chicago and persuaded Henry t o
accept the offer of a Belleville uncle of a welcome to the home
in Belleville. Henry was still hopeful of being independen t
and successful and only the desire to relieve his mother anx-
iety induced him to leave Chicago . At Belleville, he wrote ,
for the first time, to his mother and became reconciled to his
father.
After the pleasant Christmas days with his relatives an d
encouraging letters from his mother and sisters, Henry Villard
left Belleville to seek self support. During the three followin g
years, he tried various occupations
cuit Court, studying law in a lawyer offices, canvassing fo r
an Encyclopedia, and similar occupations, always studyin g
the English language and American politics. During the win -
ter of 1850-7 he was editing a German newspaper, the Volks-
hlatt at Racine, Wis. In this he took great interest, but it was
a financial failure.
His articles on public affairs, sent to the New York Staats
Zeitung, had sometimes been printed and he went to New York
but was obliged to support himself by teaching a district school
in Pennsylvania. Later employed by the Staats Zeitung, h e
went from town to town reporting the debates of Lincoln and
Douglas in Illinois in 1858. Kansas and Free Soil were th e
chief themes of the two men in their seven debating contests.
Henry Villard was then 23 years of age and well prepared for
the work andhappy to be engaged in his chosen occupation.
This intimate acquaintance with the two candidates for th e
Illinois senatorship makes his detailed descriptions material
for biographies.
Familiar with all the prominent newspapers of that time ,
he went to Cincinnati and offered his services to the Dail y

Forty-five Years a Graduate ; Thirty-eigh t

F OR the members of the class of 1878, commencementwillmark forty-five years of contact with the world . One o f
the three sun ii ing members; of the class of 1878, the first t o
leave the Uiiver .ity, is Judge Robert S . Bean, of Portland .
Robert Sharp Beau was born in Yamhill county, his par-
ents moving to Lane county when he was a year old . Thei r
home was al, that time ten miles north of Eugene on the line
of the present. Oregon Electric.
As a boy Robert Bean loved mathematics but later en-
joyed history and law. He worked on his father farm whe n
not in school. He was sent to Monmouth to the old Christian
College there, and it is interesting to note how many ver y
prominent and useful citizens of the state were graduate d
from this pioneer school. Thomas Franklin Campbell, a grea t
educator, was founder and president. This President Camp -
bell was the father of P . L . Campbell, now president of th e
University of Oregon.
Robert Bean vacations were always spent iu bard wor k
and he left college early each spring to earn money for th e
fall and winter terms . Sometimes he worked on a farm ,
sometimes with his father in the carpenter trade . In 187 3
he graduated at. Monmouth College. Among those attendin g
the college at that time were George Burnet, now of the Ore-
gon Supreme court, Judge Charles Wolverton, now of th e
United States Federal Court in Portland, the late W . D .
Fenton, the late United ,Slates Senator Mc. Bride, and P . L .
Campbell
After graduation Hobert Bean worked in Junction to earn
enough to enable him to study law. lie then entered the la w
office of the late J. M. Thompson in Eugene, and was admitte
to the Oregon bar in 1876. This was the year the Universit y
opened its doors, and he spent the next two years as a uni-
versity student with the first class of five, all of whom ha d
partly finished their college work at other schools .
From 1578 until 1882 Robert Bean practiced law in En -
gene, when he was elected judge of the second judicial district
and reelected in 1886
preme Court of Oregon.
For nineteen years he served as justice, always reelected b
very large majorities without apparently any exertion on hi s
part. His friends were legion .
In 1909 President. Taft appointed Judge Bean federa l

"The Goose-Step" an Inadequate Witnes s
By RALPH CASE Y
A REVIEWER who has perused "The Brass Check" take sup "The Goose-Step," Upton Sinclair latest researc h
(academically speaking), with a feeling that it will be ver y
indignant and shrill n
he will likely say to himself : "The ordeal of looking throug h
this book is going to be pretty dreadful, Upton is sure to b e
so exasperated with things that his tongue-lashing will seem to
apply directly to me ."
You know how you feel in a crowded street car when a n
old lady hanging on a strap expresses her candid opinion of
the ill-mannered tribe of men who hold seats -
though you may be standing yourself and utterly innocent o
crime, your cheeks begin to burn. You are as ashamed an d
uncomfortable as the culprits.
To Hasten the Cold Showe
The reader hurries through "The Goose-Step" because he
wants to get the cold shower over with, and also because Sin-
clair won let you stroll along leisurely . " This is awful, "
cries Upton. You are interested and would fain stop an d
seek more light on the particular college he so generousl y
scores, but the guide will not permit you to linger, "Com e
away and look at this ."
Don take "The Goose-Step" along on your vacation un-
less you also put a bottle of nerve tonic in your traveling bag.
"The Goose-Step" is probably a sincere effort to revea l
the short comings of American higher institutions of learning
There is a great deal in the volume the public ought t o
know, a great deal indeeed -
Step" is that it is full of inaccuracies and overemphasis, and
it is difficult to know what to accept and what to reject .
Unfortunately, too, the book is written with the belief tha t
economic determinism is the whole thing in an investigation
of what is wrong with the universities and colleges . And ,
hgain, Sinclair lacks any saving sense of humor . How ca n
we read "The Goose-Step" without some misgivings when the
jacket of the volume contains an advertisement for Sinclairs
"They Call Me Carpenter," beginning with, the caption ,
"Would You Like to Meet Jesus?" and continuing : "Woul d
you care to walk down Broadway with Him in the year 1922
What would He order for dinner in a lobster palace? Wha t
would He do in a beauty parlor?" After reading that kin d
of an ad, what can one do but declare, "0, piffle?"
But let not condemn "The Goose-Step" because of th e
utterances on its jacket. Many a book has been unjustly pre -
judged because of a foolish advertising blurb on the cover .
If anyone doubts Sinclair failure to have inherited a funn y
bone, however, listen to this from the chapters telling of Har-
vard ignominious bending of the knee to capitalism:
There are things that "are not done" at Harvard ;andyou
would be surprised to know how minute is thesupervision. You might not think it was a grave of-
fense fora student wearing a soft shirt in summer-time
to leavethe top button unfastened; buta student friend
of mine, who had ideasof the simple life-going bac kto nature and all that-was co
:dly asked by Dean Gay"Is the button of your shirt open by mistake,
or is thebutton missing?" And when he (lid not take this deli-
cate hint, Professor Richard C. Cabot told another stu-
dent that he might help the young man by advising him
to close the top button of his shirt. I am advised tha t
Harvard men will call this story "rot" ; therefore I
specify that I have it in writing from the man to whom
it happened.
Why, Oh, Mr. Sinclair, can you keep egotism out of your
book? The reader tries hard to give the author a scrupulousl
fair hearing when, bang, he runs into something like this .
Sinclair sets out to determine, while a graduate student at Col-
umbia University, if any large university will accept a "novel
as a thesis or dissertation, or as evidence of merit and of wor
accomplished, in competition for any fellowship or endow-
ment under its control He gets no encouragement from an
college or university . He does not find (we are going t o
quote from Sinclair now) "one university president who wa s
interested in the possibility that there might me a man o f
genius (italics ours) actually alive in America at the beginnin
of the twentieth century"
And consider this: "I am sure, if these teachers had bee
told that one man in the class of 7 would come to be know
throughout the civilized world in less than nine years, the y
would have guessed more than half my classmates before the
guessed me
Rather astounding that Upton should set himself up a s
ready to introduce us (in 1922) to Jesus, who rather admire
humility
The Evil He Really Names
A vital part of the book is contained in Chapter II, a n
account of Sinclairs undergraduate years at the College o f
the City of New York . We can readily believe that hi s
criticism is justified that most of his college courses wer e
incredibly dull. We can whole-heartedly sympathize wit h
this protest: "I can remember a book of lessons (in English),
each lesson consisting of thirty or forty sentences containin
grammatical errors n
the list ; I would see all the grammatical errors in the firs t
three minutes, and for the remaining fifty-seven minute s
was required to sit and listen while one member of the clas s
after another was called on to explain and correct one o f
the errors. . . . And then the professor of Greek, a white-
whiskered old terror. For three years he had me five hour s
per week, and today I could not read a sentence from a child
primer in Greek, though I still know the letters and th e
sounds . . . I marvel when I realize that it was possibl e
for me to read he Aeharniansof Aristophanes, line by line ,
and hardly once get a smile out of it."
Thus Sinclair has placed his finger on a grave evil whic h
the universities and colleges can remedy, if they will, i n
spite of so-called capitalistic control, but the author does not
develop his discussion. No doubt spiritless teaching by a
routine-minded professor would be charged by Sinclair to th
capitalistic system rather than to an outworn educational pla
in which languages are taught for credit and human knowledg
is divided into neat title comparments of 1, 2 and 3 hou r
courses of this, that and the other
Far West Universities Touche
Sinclair discusses the University of Oregon, the Universit
of Washington, the State University of Montana, and Ree d
College, among others. His discussion of the Blethen Chime s
incident at Washington is a pretty accurate statement of wha
happened
liott position in the Levine controversy at Montana. If th e
chancellor had willingly permitted the publication of Dr. Le -
vine monograph on taxation on the eve of the meeting of the
state legislature enemies of the university.could have accused
it of a definite political act. There was some question, it must

be granted, of the wisdom of precipitating the university into
a political crisis. It should be noted that the outcome of th e
controversy was a cleancut victory for Levine and for hi s
right of free expression. That point might have been empha-
sized by Sinclair.
The Eugene Typhoid Epidemi
We have no direct knowledge of the so-called Allen Eaton
case at fhe University of Oregon. We have been informed b y
some that Eaton was the victim of war hysteria and that Sin-
clair is essentially correct in his discussion of the case. How -
ever that may be, Sinclair has weakened his ease, as he has
in other discussion, by attributing reforms to the leading fig-
ure to which he is not wholly entitled. In the account of th e
typhoid epidemic in Eugene that led to the municipalization o
the water system, Sinclair writes . Eaton ascertained fro
the physicians of the town that the city water was contami-
nated and so he published an article advising everyone to boi
the water before drinking it ." Professor A . R . Sweetser of
the University of Oregon department of botany and Professor
Orin F . Stafford of the department of chemistry were in th e
forefront of the anpaign for a proper water system . It wa s
these men who made the tests of the water and submitte d
scientific proof of its impurities.
A volume ought assuredly to follow Sinclair setting forth
the influences at work in American education, but the research
if it is to have any real value, must be characterized by greater
accuracy, a more fundamental understanding of educational
problems, more humor and more insight
We nominate Will Irwin, an accurate reporter and shrewd
analyst, as capable of writing the kind of book we have i n
mind, and in all probability William Hard could do the job .
No person, however, who is forever exposing his breast to the
slings and arrows of an outrageous social and polities m
is qualified to attempt the task
And Now a College Main Stree t
T OWN and Gown (Doran), a book of short stories abou tcollege life is attracting a good deal of attention aroun d
Chicago, where the authors, Lynn and Lois Seyster Montross,
live. The Chicago News asks if the book will "wake up th e
sleeping element in our colleges to the possibilities that ou r
institutions actually afford, or make them deny the truth o f
this `Main Streetof college life and dream on again in com-
fortable stagnation." The Daily Illini (University of Illi-
nois) says that Town and Gown "takes a few university types
far and away in the minority, and applies its cynical mic-
roscope to them." Mr . Montross spent three years at th e

Glee Club s Eastern Oregon Tri p
By ARTHUR R1JDD, 4, Ad mere Manage r
FINANCIALLY the recent trip of the University of Ore-gon men glee club into Eastern Oregon was a success ;
artistically it succeeded because the program "went big" i n
every town.
The tour brought out a number of points however tha t
should be remembered before another similar trip is attempted.
The first point is the necessity of calling a meeting of al l
Oregon alumni and students in the various towns as soon as
it is known that the club is coming.
Salem was the model town on the recent trip, where Lyle
Bartholomew, 2, had things lined up in the same efficient
Oregon women rifle team . The fifth girl in line is Myrtle Ped -
ker, a sophomore, of Salem, who established a record of 99 fo r
this year . The second girl is Wave Anderson, a sophomoreof
Eugene, who established the same record last year . Emerald Sloan ,
who last year was a student on the military staff, is the only man
to make a record of 100.
manner that he used in conducting committee work as presi-
dent of the student body. Marie Briggs, Herbert Darby an d
Florence Cartwright were among his more active helpers. I n
Hood River Lyle former " right hand man," Helen Carson,
secretary of the student body when Lyle sat in the executiv e
chair, had things going strong by the time the advance ma n
reached town and had her nigh school students so "hoppe d
up" that there was no difficulty in interesting them in th e
Oregon club.
Chester Fritz, Clarence Ellis, Bob Chrisma.n and Vivia n
Merrifield were the workers who helped things along in Th e
Dalles l
there also cooperated

Newspaper Space Generou
In Pendleton "Coach" John Murray, Brook Dickson, an d
a number of students returned home for spring vacatio n
worked hard getting things in shape. Elsie Fitzmaurice an d
Ernie Crockatt saw that the club got its share of news -
paper space, and were also active in the actual preparations
for entertaining the boys. Helen Nelson worked on the . en-
tertainment of the men and was a strong factor in maki .ig
their stay in the Round-up town a pleasant one.
Clara Ellis. sister of Harry Ellis, a senior in the Univer-
sity, deserves considerable credit for the success the con-
cert scored in Baker. She gave freely of her time and he r
car. Oregon grads, vacationing students and the high school
officials also cooperated in splendid shape
The school people in Union and the commercial club, who
entertained the 20 singers so royally at the new Union hotel
were responsible for a good time at the well known stoc k
show town.
In La Grande the student body officials, the superin-
tendent, and principal of the schools, the students home o n
their vacation, worked with Ernest Watkins and several other
alumni on plans for the concert . The Portland success wa s
almost entirely due to the efforts of active students cooperat-
ing with Harold Young, Mrs . H . H . Oielly and the prin-
cipals of the various high schools
Late changes in the schedule, and failure, due to a mis-
understanding, to send out sufficient advance press notices,
caused some difficulty . However, the mistakes that wer e
made and how they were remedied are all recorded an d
available for next year glee club officials .

Open Forum and Cloiste r
The press believes that the action of Middlebury College ,
Vermont, requiring extra-curricular activities of student s
intending to graduate, is without precedent.
Precedent or not, interest will presently shift to whethe r
Middlebury is likely to draw in a circle of those hopeful imi-
tators who believe that whatever they have not tried may be th
great Panacea.
Briefly, students who do not enter extra-curricular activi-
ties at Middlebury will not be eligible for graduation honors ,
and possibly not for graduation at all . The purpose behin d
the ruling is stated as a desire to create leaders in college who
will continue to be leaders in the years after college
A Portland man, noting the Middlebury idea, writes us :
"Never having been to college, I hesitate to criticize colleg e
policies, particularly those having a hearing on the colleg e
spirit. My own middle-life inclination toward quiet study and
opportunity for thoroughness in some field, however, make s
me look with suspicion on these `extra curricularactivities ,
disguised as practice in leadership or otherwise. The particu -
tar scheme seems to me, at least superficially, to confuse leader
ship with office holding, which may not he the same thing .
"It is, as a recent reviewer of Sinclair latest book ha s

about as much in need of men who know what they are g
about as we are in need of `earnest candidatesfor anything

Innocence on the Wan e
Faculty astuteness at Oregon is, like the moon, alway s
entering a new phase y
because puzzling
Speakers in faculty meeting have developed a streak o f
such subtlety that hearers can not be sure whether they are
attacking an idea, upholding it, or scoffing all around .
It is related that recently a faculty member suggested tha
the old three weeks period during which a student could lunch
around the campus trying first one course and then another
before he finally settled down to consume his choice wa s
really good business. Through such freedom in election th e
student furthered his education, said the speaker.
It is not related that anyone replied, but the departmen t
heads credited with the smallest proportion of thinkers ex -
changed threatening looks
Concerning Guest s
Oregon celebrates Mothersday. Michigan celebrates Fath-
ersday . Why not make it Parentsday, asks a reader, an d
combine with it Junior week-end, thus to compliment every-
body and halve the energy wasted ill two distinct celebrations.
The Michigan Alumnus avers that fathers should kno w
more than they do about the lives their sons lead . . . .
"Too few of them have investigated college life. They usuall y
get their knowledge of it from son, who cannot, for the lif e
of him, tell the exact truth ."
So much for fathers. As for combining the visit of prep-
pers with that of parents, prebablyt is only the preppers wh
would Lose out g
guests, but they are falling in disfavor as it is, so unappre-
ciatively have they responded to having the whole university
placed at their feet.
Not a few of them have completely avoided enrolling at the
University following exit from high school, and as for proving
good rush material for tho houses iii the autumn, again they
are guilty of a sort of defection. Full many a little high school
flower, delicious to eye and ear those two mad days at Jun-
ior week-end, has proved in October to be plain mustard .
Many a blase high school man becomes, under a green ca p
at college, as uninteresting as an ice cream soda drawn yester-
day.
But the prime argument for any combination of Junio r
week-end with entertainment for parents is that it would pro-
duce a more unique occasion . And of that Oregon is i n
need. Though the event was admirably presented this year ,
Oregon is not inherently different in its observation of Jun-
ior week-end from the institutions it copied originally, or from
those within the state now imitating it .

OLD OREGON

Our Complacent Elder s
Reasonably unsuccessful at the ministry, a man concludes
he will turn to something easy, like farming. Notably unabl e
to advise his own family, another man would like to get int o
newspaper work, where be can advise the community. Au d
the general run of mankind, out of patience with the yout h
of the country, searches out a college audience and explains
how one should shape his Iife .
According to the doctors, the only bad night air is las t
night air . Similarly, is it yesterday thinking, held ove r
for today, that makes trouble .
A recent speaker at the University who was granted every
thing in the way of occasion, picked audience and setting faile
so noticeably to realize that the world had gone on, since hi
college days that whatever truth he had to dispense wa s
ruinously discounted e
slang did not persuade anyone that he knew today colleg e
life with its special inanities and special searchings
Instead of regretting the passing of the good old days whe
women did their children sewing and did not vote, platform
speakers before college audiences might well furnish light on
making tomorrow somewhat better than today and infinitely
better than yesterday.
Devil and the Sea
Can one not see in the distance a line of advancing hig h
school graduates seeking to register at Oregon . They pas s
into Mr. Spencer office to be mentally tested or to babbl
before a board of grave examiners upon what they hav e
thought e
hand and a return-trip ticket in the other.
Allons. Maybe so .
Quarterly Mournin g
Presumably a student looks around, when he reaches col-
lege, for the presence of the thing that induced him to select
this particular college d
and fell in love with the social spirit he will return for tha t
later---and will have to be remade before he is any good .
Mostly he dies during the operation.
If he comes to college because of the representations o f
alumni concerning the work offered, the situation is stil l
serious d
alumnus
Oregon problem is to reduce mortality abong students .
A student who strives but cannot make the grade has stil l
gained something from his college experience. But the on e
that has come with a misconception of what is here or o f
what is significant adds only to the length of the funera l
cortege.

With Willamette valley weather, with good lectures, wit h

On the right stand those who
a classification.
If the loyalty and usefulness returned to the alumni as-
sociation and the University were in direct proportion to th e
length of time spent here, those who graduated might be al -
lowed their exclusiveness e
not exhibited themselves in that manner
Our patience with "old" alumni who show their affections
chiefly by showing their teeth when jostled by the proletariat
would have been exhausted some time since but for the real
spirit under their belligerency.
How Old is a Freshma n
Freshman ranks at any university teem with little boy s
and girls who secured diplomas from their high schools but wh
secured little else d
creditably, and were graduated.
Once anyone could get into a university by presenting an
appropriate set of hooks he had studied . Then standard s
tightened and he must show that he had studied the books i
an acceptable school with accepted results
More tightening, and the matriculant produced a hig h
school diploma, or he proved that be was twenty-one year s
of age. In the latter ease he became a special student at th e
university and did not expect to get a degree .
Presumably when October arrives at the University o f
Oregon it will bring a new special-student ruling now pend-
ing : that to be a special student one must he twenty-fiv e
years old .
What would logically follow this legislation concerning th
mental maturity of special stndents9 Legislation concernin g
the mental maturity of freshmen would follow, we submit .
Stimulants not Barre d
Conclusive statements about the increasing importancef
holding alumni in touch with their alma mater are no longer
purely local propaganda employed for reasons of sentintsn t
or financial need . Commentary in the press of the whol e
country is token of widespread warmth toward the question
The alumni magazines are discussing it e
magazines of general and family circulation, and even suc h
weekly journals as The New Republic.
It comes home that while these Eastern writers are bot h
calling for alumni support and dreading alumni control, th e
back-drop for their performance is quite foreign in spirit t o
ours. Many of them know only a privately-endowed insti-
tution; many have never thought of co-education; an unfor-
tunate number are still thinking of college in a classical and
luxurious sense, education only for those who can look dow
their noses in contempt at anything practical
Oregon alumni should be warned that they are to hea r
much more of closer alumni unity than they have already

ent any intelligent interest in educational affairs is lackin g

If this is true of Oregon graduates and if an interest can b e
stimulated by printed facts, our alum ni may expect stimu-
lation.
The Genus Professo r
No theorizer suffers from knowing the position of thos e
who disagree with him y
well be a man or cmnnwn sense, able to be mistaken for a suc-
cessful lawyer or physician, should he reminded onee in a
while that this is not held universally desirable.
"Colleges should be quiet places, removed from the hustl
of everyday life, where problems may be studied in an abstract
manner," remarks President Meiklejohn of Amherst. "The col-
lege professor should be a dreamer, and one of the greates t
dangers of the present time is his desire to be thought a ma
of common sense e

John Farrar, editor of the Bookman, says that althoug h
under-graduates in universities do not read enough, the faul
is the faculty . The Dartmouth declares that a man shoul d
have developed a love of books before he enters college.
We can see no reason for dividing knowledge up into suc
snippets as provide the excuse for many a course . If on e
qtiarter of the courses offered in any large university wer e
to be discarded, the result would not be calamitous but bene-
ficial. Or suppose that our highly specialized present system
were practiced in, say, four universities, one each in the East,
West, North, and South, and that the remaining universities
were satisfied with a more modest program e
overlapping which would be avoided, and think of the fa t
salaries that universities could then provide.-The Independent.

Pendell Finds Term Papers Required at Chicago
Elmer Pendell, 1, writes from the University of Chicag o

there this year :
"In ten courses here I have had seven professors, an d
though they are very diverse types they are all good . In gen-
eral, they give mach more reading than at Oregon, and as I
understand, in the freshman year work they try to teach th e
students how to read, which means as to most authors, how t o
get their drift without reading, by hitting a line here an d
there.
"Once in a while there is an author whose every word i s
gold, but they are very far between, so the implication runs ,

In history-most history-the first sentences of the paragraph stell the whole story, so is said
. In other social sciences, th e
high spots vary with the authors, and one is expected to ge t
onto an author in about two paragraphs and treat the rest o f
his article accordingly .
"A tremendous amount of emphasis is put on term papers .
In almost every course-in social sciences-a student is expecte d
to make some special study, usually digging out his own mater-
ials, sometimes with the advice of the teacher, and writing u p
the stuff in finished style . (About a third of the prefeesors d o
not require term papers, I discover on further contemplation ,
but the other two-thirds make it seem as if there is nothin g
else in the world but term papers .) "

Commercial of that city. He gives account of his adventure s
as a reporter of the "Pike Peak Gold Fever" of 1858-9, dur-
ing which, he made, at Denver the acquaintance of Horac e
Greeley of the New York Tribune-an important acquaintance
During 1860-1 Mr. Villard was reporting political events i n
the Middle West, especially at Springfield, Ill ., the residence
of the president-elect, Abraham Lincoln. There he had ver y
friendly relations with Lincoln and with his secretary, Joh n
Hay, and heaccompanied the presidential party to New York
as reporter
Mr. Villard was the first to plan a newspaper syndicate ,
and the Cincinnati Commercial and Chicago Tribune accepte
it while the New York Herald engaged Mr .Villard as tele-
graphic reporter . Washington was full of events to be
reported. When the Civil War commenced Mr . Villard wa s
sent by the New York Herald to the front and was present a t
the Battle of Bull Run a .nd other historical battles occuring
in the first two years of the war. Disabled by illness, he gave
up the fiield service but organized a.newsagency in Washing-
ton and continued his personal observations in the countr y
about Washington
Civil War Reportsof Great Accuracy
The greater portion of the "Memoirs" deals withthe Civil
War. Ofthe 767 pages of narration in the two volumes, more
than three-fifths are devoted to that conflict, from the chap -
ter entitled "Washington in Sumter Time, 1861" to "Th e
Battle Above the Clouds, 1863" inclusive a very valuabl
record of personal observation and all of Mr . Villard state-
ments were verified by his examination of the offical report s
of both North and South and are illustrated with maps o f
battles
Early in 1863 Mr. Villard was given a brief leave of ab-
sence from journalistic duties and went to Boston e
made acquaintance with Wendell Phillips and with the inter-
esting family of William Lloyd Garrison . He states,"It was
to that chance visit to Boston that I owe the greatest happines
of my life, my marriage to Miss Fanny Garrison, the onl y

and person, I surrendered on first acquaintanee." In 1864 ,
Henry Villard was called to Europe by his father for a pro -
longed visit. In 1865 he became Washington corresponden t
of the Chicago Tribune
His Marriage to Miss Garriso
The next year was that of his marriage to Miss Garriso n
and, accompanied by her, he went to Europe to report on th
Franco-Prussian War, which had ended before he reached hi
destination o
Tribune at the World Fair, at Paris . During two followin g
years he held the congenial office of president of the Ameri-
can Social Service Association in Boston . This position Ie d
him into the study of corporate financiering, especially o f
banks and railroads
Going back to Germany for medical advice, he had som e
far-reaching financial plans which led to acquaintance wit h
German financiers. He was again in Germany in 1871 an d
was consulted by investors in U. S . railroads and was late r
commissioned to return to the United States as representativ
of an organization of European investors in American rail -
roads.
His Energy and Honesty Characteristi
There is not space here to relate Mr . Villard activitie s
as a financier during the twenty years from 1873 to 1893, bu
he became one of the great financiers of his time and con -
ducted business with the sagacity, emery and integrity whic
had characterized his early undertakings
He first represented the bondholders of the Kansas Pacific
and the Oregon and California (now the S . P . R . R.) Rail -
roads and came to Oregon in the summer of 1873 accompanie
by a German railroad engineer, Richard Koehler . Later, h e
planned to unite Eastern and Western railroads in a transcon-
tinental line, and constructed the North Pacific. He bough t
the New York Evening Post in 1881 and established The Nation
for independent and fearless expression of opinions, especiall
of public affairs ,
In 1889 he founded the Edison General Electric Compan
and felt the greatest interest in the application of electricit y
to human needs h
of his beloved little son, Hilgard, at the age of seven years .
Mr. Villard loving biography of the boy, a little volume wit h
portraits, bound in white and gold, is in the University Lib-
rary. In memory of this son, Mr, Villard donated a hospita l
to Zweibrueken, his childhood home . With his family h e
sought consolation in travel, and while in Germany, he wa s
invited to visit Bismark.
Although radically opposed to Bismark policies, Mr .
Villard "Memoirs" give account of that visit to the .unhapp
ex-chancellor, written with Mr. Villard usual close observation
and candor . Villard twenty years of active busi-
ness he had the gratification of success in great undertaking
and the disappointment of failures; he had friends and oppo-
nents, but his decisions were unaffected by either praise o r
blame
His Retirement in 1893
His retirement from all official positions in 1893 gav e
him the leisure to write his experiences as reporter in the Civi
War. As he had visited in Europe all the localities occupie d
by combatants in the Franco-Prussian War he wished to write
an account of that, but he could not obtain permission t o
examine the official records of France .
With his family he made the tour of Southern Europe and
in 1899 visited the Pacific Northwest including Alaska, From
Portland, accompanied by Mrs s
wife, he came to Eugene to visit the State University . Th e
tourists came an a special train of the S. P . R. R., in charge
of Richard Koehler, superintendent of the S. P . lines in Ore-

OLD OREGO N
gon, who had accompanied Mr. Villard to Oregon on his firs t
official visit in 1.873 e
path to Villard Hall . As the time was July and the Univer-
sity was not in session, the welcoming group representing th
University was small, but some residents of Eugene joine d
them, and a Lane County teachers institute in session in Eu-
gene added its attendants to greet Mr . Villard . There wer e
speeches-those of Mr. and Mrs. Villard were especially inter-
esting-flowers were presented, other buildings were visite d
and the distinguished visitors departed
On the Alaskan trip, Mr. Villard sent letters of instructive
information to the New York Evening Post which were col-
lected in book-form and are in the University Library.
His Life Full of Ill h
The "Memoirs" make numerous mention of serious illness
suffered by Mr . Villard, and his useful life closed at the ag e
of 65 years, in November 1900.
A portrait in oils of Henry Villard hangs on the wall o f
the assembly room of the Hall named in his honor, and hi s
bust in terra-cotta is in the large reading room of the Univer-
sity Library, both presented by Mrs. Fanny Garrison Villard .
Mrs. Villard resides in New York City in winter and at her
beautiful home, Thornwood on the Hudson, in summer e
receives the publications of the University of Oregon and i s
much interested in its progress
Mrs. Henry Villard Remembers Oregon
M RS. HENRY VILLARD, for whose husband Villard hal lwas named, wrote recently to Mrs. P . L. Campbell:
"Two copies of OLD OREGON have reached me and I fin d
them most interesting reading e
a picture of Villard hall on the cover of one of the handsom e
publications w
that you still hold my dear husband in such kindly remem-
brance. The cause of higher education was always dear t o
him and very near his heart .
"I can imagine how beautiful your grounds are now, and
wish with all my heart that Eugene were not quite so fa r
away and that I could see for myself the fine new building s
that have been erected since my last visit to that delightfu l
place, years ago."
Gift Campaign Skit Wins Frolic Priz e
"THE TEN MILLION," a skit depicting the purpose an d
1 movements of the Gift Campaign, was the winning pro-
duction at the annual April Frolic . The skit was written b y
Jeannette Calkins, 8, a member of Delta Gamma, and pro-
duced by this house. It may be recalled that Delta Gamma
headed the list of donors of $1000 gifts made by under -
graduate fraternity members to the campaign.
Susan Campbell Hall won honorable mention with "Al l
on a Summer Night."
"A Night of Dreams," produced by Pi Beta Phi, was re-
peated at the Junior Vaudeville last month
For two years the practice of permitting only half th e
women organizations to appear at April Frolic has bee n
followed with success. This shortens the program and al -
Iows more time for dancing, as well as for the individual acts
At the 77th commencement at Knox College last Jun e
$1,000,000 was added to the endowment fund, the result of
year campaign.

N . S . F . CHECK S
There has been a great deal of discussion on the campus recently in regard to N . S . F .
checks. Phi Theta Kappa, an honorary fraternity of the School of Business Administration ,has been doing a commendable thing in publishing two little leaflets dealing with this sub-
ject. For the sake of emphasis we would like to reprint five of the eight points made in th e
first of this series :
1. That $2000 .00 worth of N . S. F. checks went 4 . That it costs the bank 40c to open an account
through the business office of the University

merely for folders, checks, etc ., not includin g
last year .

clerical labor .
2. That one bank in Eugene has on an average 500 5 . That Eugene is one of the few college towns in
N . S. F . checks per month .

the country where students are given the privi -
8. That any account under $50 .00 is carried by the

loge of checking on bank accounts of less than
banks at a loss, and that a large per cent of stu-

$100.00 without payment of a fee .
dents accounts are under $50 .00.
Students in the University of Oregon are no longer children. It should not be necessar y
to treat them as children. They are old enough to realize the seriousness of writing N . S. F.
checks, and they should also be old enough to carry a small checking account without over -
drawing it continually.
We feel sure that the students themselves will attempt to correct this careless, unsys-
tematic habit.
