A MESSAGE FROM THE NE W
ALUMNI PRESIDEN T
Those of us who have becom e
members of the University famil y
by receiving a degree from the Uni-
versity or by a course of stud y
leading to a degree cannot escap e
our responsibilities to the Univer-
sity. A university exists not alon e
in its faculties and student body ,
but in the influence it wields . I t
cannot exist separate and apar t
from the body of the state and it s
existence is justified only when it s
contacts touch the life of the stat e
in all of its essential activities .
There was a time when the univer-
sity proper came in contact wit h
scholars only. The lines of in-
fluence of a university of today ,
however, reach out and touch th e
every-day life of the whole com-
munity, helping to solve its prob-
lems. The results achieved in as-
sisting in solving the problems o f
the hour and in fitting the youn g
citizenship with the means of suc-
cess justify its existence.
The growth and influence of a n
institution of learning, such as our
University, is in a large part de -
pendent upon those of us who hav
left its class rooms and have gon e
out to mingle with our fellows an d
play a part in the work-day of life .
We owe a debt to the University .
It has labored that we might suc-
ceed. If success is ours, we can re-
pay the debt only by assisting th e
University to widen its influenc e
and extend its help to an ever in -
creasing number
fluence the sons and daughters o f
the University exert upon the lif e
of the community in which the y
live, by their abilities, integrity and
loyalty, there are certain definite en-
deavors by which the Alumni ma y
be of great assistance to their Alma
Mater.
First of all we should be awak e
to the responsibility of bringing t o
the attention of high school stu-
dents the advantages of the Univer-
sity and the benefits to be derive d
from a course of study pursue d
there, either in acquiring a general
education or in securing technica l
training for a definite field . Hig h
school graduates in the enthusias
of the hour of their graduation and
their anxiety to take up their lif e
work may overlook the dividend s
they will receive later from a uni-
versity training . E x p e r i e n c e
teaches that it is the rule that th e
university graduate soon overtakes
and pasties his high school class-

mate who forsook the university for
business or professional work t
us assist high school students in tak-
ing the right course,
The state, through its legislature
has made possible a college course
for our student soldiers and marines
by an appropriation in their behalf
Let us urge upon them their dut y
to take advantage of the state s
offer.
Another duty we owe to the Uni-
versity and to the women of th e
University is renewed activities i n
behalf of the Woman building .
No graduate or friend of the Uni-
versity should slacken in his or he
endeavors in this regard until th e
building is completed, furnishe d
and occupied. It is to the sham e
of the Alumni that the inefficient ,
unsanitary facilities afforded th e
women of the University have no t
long since been superseded by a
modern building and equipment .
The Alumni can only repay th e
debt of gratitude we owe to our ef-
ficient and energetic regent, Mrs .
George T. Gerlinger, for the nobl e
fight she has waged for a womans
building, at times almost singl e
handed, by coming to the front an
raising the balance of the fund s
necessary to meet the state appro-
priation so that the appropriatio n
may not lapse. Let us do it .
HOMER D . ANGELL .
To All Oregon Men and Women :
Your Alma Mater is calling you t o
come back the 15th of Novembe r
when Oregon meets her old rival ,
O. A . C.
-- o
No better time could be selected
than Home-coming Day to com e
back and visit with your old friends
HOME-COMING DAY .
Home-coming Day is for every-
one this year
mer student and friend of the Uni-
versity is invited to come bac k
"home" on November 15th for th e
0 . A . C ., Oregon, football gam e
and alumni celebrations
Home-coming Day is the great-
est get-together affair that the Uni-
versity of Oregon has ever engi-
neered. The custom was started i n
1915 when Oregon played O. A . C.
on Kincaid Field. The Aggie tea m
that year was considered one of th
best in the country, having defeat-
ed the Michigan Aggies 20 to 0 bac
east "
appeared and Oregon came ou t
ahead, 9 to 0.
The second Home-coming Da y
was on November 4, 1916, whe n
Oregon played the University o f
Washington a 0 to 0 game.
The third and last Home-coming
Day was in 1917 . Oregon playe d
the University of California, win-
ning by a score of 21 to O.
This year great plans are goin g
ahead for the greatest Home-corn-
ing celebration that Oregon ha s
ever had . Some of the event s
staged during this week-end will b
the campus luncheon "a la cafeter-
ia," the big rally and serpentine ,
freshman bon fire, THE GAME ,
and the dance and reception in the
evening.
This day is especially planned for
the alumni and friends of the uni-
versity. Your college days may b e
past and the memory of them dim,
but on Home-coming Day ever y
former Oregon man and woman wil
be "at college" again .
Your AIma Mater is calling t o
you!! ! !

YOUR OREGO N
The University began a few day s
ago, another year with greatly in -
creased registration, and with al l
signs pointing to a "Greater Ore-
gon." It therefore behooves ever y
alumnus who wants to keep pac e
with the progress of his Alm a
Mater to devote a little of his tim e
to it .
Has the boy and girl in you r
community been told of the ad -
vantages offered at Oregon'? O r
has that indifferent or that "le t
George do it" spirit gotten hold o f
you? If you still are imbued wit h
that "Oregon Spirit" you had whe n
on the campus, help the boy an d
girl answer the question, "Shall I
go to college ? "
If an alumnus feels that he is ou t
of touch with the entrance require-
ments and courses of study, writ e
to the alumni secretary, who will b e
glad to send the latest catalog an d
illustrated bulletins in order to hel p
you answer the various questions o f
prospective students .
This is one means of showin g
your loyalty to your Alma Mater .
Be loyal Oregon men and women .
o
MEMBERSHI P
A letter from a former studen t
now living in Portland stated tha t
he never knew that he was eligibl e
to membership in the Alumni Asso-
ciation. This accounted for hi s
never sending in his dues . The con-
stitution says : "All graduates an d
former students who have attende d
two semesters at the university ar e
eligible to membership in th e
Alumni Association . The forme r
students shall be known as asso-
ciate members .
Students attending less than tw o
semesters may be admitted to the
association as associate member s
but cannot have the right to vote ."
CLASS OF 191 9
The Alumni Association extend-
ed an invitation at commencemen t
time to all the members of the clas s
of 1919 to affiliate themselves wit h
the association . Only a few re-
sponded . Where are the missin g
members ?d Start your first yea r
out of college right . Send you r
dues to us with your correct ad -
dress and an account of what yo u
are doing .
CHANGES IN ADDRES S
For the last few years thing s
have been so indefinite with regar d
to permanent addresses that th e
alumni records have been very in -
accurate. Many alumni h a v e
changed their addresses and a grea t
many have never notified the secre-
tary of this change . By helpin g
in this way it will mean much t o
our official records .
Dr. Albert A . Witham of Port -
land was recently elected Presiden t
of the Alumni Association of th e
University of Oregon Medica l
School at their annual meeting .
Other officers elected are : Dr .
George Cathey, Portland, secre-
tary ; Dr . Katherine Manion, Port -
land, treasurer ; Dr . Louis Buck ,

OLD OREGO N
The Old Professor s
By Joel N . Pearcy, '7 9
(Editor s Note : Joel Pearcy was one of the two members of the class of 79 wh o
celebrated their fortieth anniversary at the University last commencement . The Uni-versity is larger and more complex than it was when he describes it, but it still ha s
much of the kindly informal relationships of the "Happy family" that he remembers . Ma ythey never be lost l
)
When I entered the University in the autumn of seventy-six it ha d
not the beautiful grounds, the stately buildings, the complete equipment ,
the well balanced teaching force of today .
There were no fraternities, fraternal halls or dormitories and, as t o
the refining accessories which add finish and culture to the students o f
institutions of learning at the present time, they were for the most par t
wanting .
There were no athletics, except practice baseball, and no athletic di -
rectors . There was no publicity department, and the president taugh t
his full quota of classes and performed his executive functions afte r
hours .
Three teachers and no equipment, chemistry without a laboratory ,
astronomy without instruments-what a contrast to the offerings of a
modern University .
The students of that day were mostly self-supporting-they devote d
their principal time to study, and side issues were little considered . Th e
Laurean and Eutaxian Societies were about the only diversions and, whil e
we enjoyed them, they were regarded as means for sound preparation fo r
future participation in public duties rather than pleasure resorts .
We had the assistance of a limited but able faculty . The student s
were few and, according to the custom of the period, received persona l
instruction to the minutest detail . Looking backward through the mist s
of forty years I can see us as a happy family, confident in the wisdo m
of our instructors, holding their abilities in high esteem, and regardin g
them with affection for their personal qualities .
President Johnson was a graduate of Yale, a star student in his coI -
lege days, a thorough classical scholar, a strict disciplinarian, a ma n
whose integrity, honesty and straightforwardness commanded the respec t
of all . As he was my preceptor seven years-four in the old Portlan d
High School, three in college ; as I was the first University student t o
graduate in Greek and Latin, and as I had some facility for learnin g
languages and was a hard worker, he took pride in my advancement unde r
his supervision, and I was perhaps closer to him than any other student .
Meeting with hundreds of his old students in after years I find that the y
all hold him in the highest regard as a teacher and as a man .
Professor Bailey was a profound scholar, widely informed in man y
branches of learning, familiar with the lore of many languages, an d
deeply versed in the profundities of mathematics, the chair of which h e
so acceptably filled . Although his accomplishments were many, he was
OLD OREGON

5
free from pride of opinion . If he had any infirmities they were so over -
shadowed by his good qualities that one cannot now remember them .
As an original thinker, a scientific reasoner, an untiring investigator ,
Professor Condon had few peers in America . His abilities and accom-
plishments were appreciated in scholarly circles ; but he was so modes t
and retiring that he never enjoyed the wide reputation he so well de -
served. His fine cabinet of geological, mineralogical and other specimen s
constituted about all the old University possessed, except its faculty an d
the bare walls . The world's development as told by concrete remains o f
former ages ; the beginning and growth of life upon this sphere ; th e
origin and development of human life ; mankind in its relation to Go d
and the future state ; that education is the search after truth and shal l
not be hampered by set forms, temporal or ecclesiastical-he thought an d
taught of these problems along independent lines .
Dr . Straub, who came in seventy-eight, is the last link, the golde n
link, between the old order and the new . His life is in effect a histor y
of the University . He is of our age, his disposition is so lovable that w e
remember him as a brother rather than as an instructor . Let us hope t o
live to congratulate him upon his jubilee .
These were our teachers . Like most able men they were simple an d
unaffected, sincerely religious but widely tolerant, caring little for th e
tinsel of popularity, but much for the satisfaction of good work well done .
Dear old professors-you have long gone from earth, but your mem-
ory lingers in the hearts of your graduates ; your scholarship has born e
fruit in many communities ; you laid broad and deep the foundations o f
the splendid institution of which we are proud to be Alumni .

Campus News and Comment s
COMMENCEMEN T
The forty-third annual commencement was held on June 16th . Th e
exercises were spread over four days . The Failing and Beekman ora-
torical contest held Thursday evening elicited the usual interest in spit e
of the fact that only four contestants had entered . The first prize wa s
won by J . D. Boyd and the second by Geo . W . Baney . Both of the win-
ning orations were finished performances, both from the standpoint o f
composition and delivery . On Sunday the baccalaureate sermon was de -
livered by Major W . S . Gilbert, of Astoria, recently decorated by th e
French government for distinguished service in the war as senior chap -
lain of the first army corps . Major Gilbert's sermon was vibrated wit h
the spirit of intense Americanism . The address before the graduatin g
class on Monday was delivered by Dr . Benjamin Ide Wheeler, retirin g
president of the University of California, whom President Campbell in-
troduced as the "dean of University presidents on the Pacific Coast ."
President Wheeler spoke on the "American Type," and analyzed the
6
 
OLD OREGO N
dominant characteristics which go to make up Americanism . The grad-
uating class was an eloquent testimonial to the patriotism of Oregon men .
Out of 127 receiving degrees only 43 were men . A large number o f
Alumni and students, some former members of the graduating class, at -
tended commencement, wearing the regulation khaki and bearing on thei r
uniforms the insignia of overseas service.
. M . r
THE NEW SCHOOL OF SOCIOLOG Y
The Board of Regents at the June meeting created a new schoo l
called for the present at least the School of Sociology . The work of th e
new school will approximate that of the eastern "schools of philan-
throphy," "schools of social service," etc ., and will be divided betwee n
the University proper at Eugene and the Extension School in Portland .
The aim will be to train men and women for various lines of social an d
public service connected with agencies for charities, relief of poverty, an d
for social betterment . Establishment of the school was made possibl e
by the return of Dr. E . C. Robbins, until two years ago a member of th e
Oregon faculty, and the appointment of Dr . J . Franklin Thomas, for-
merly associate professor of sociology at the University of Washington .
Dr. Robbins, although trained primarily as an economist, has specialize d
heavily in labor problems and charities and corrections . For nearly a
year Dr . Robbins was connected with the central division of the Re d
Cross in an important administrative position . Dr . Thomas is a graduat e
of Columbia University and a pupil of Dr . Devine, foremost America n
authority on social service work . Dr . Thomas has had extensive expe-
rience in connection with relief and social betterment work in New Yor k
City . In addition to these two, who will assume the bulk of responsibilit y
so far as teaching is concerned, Red Cross workers trained in the fiel d
and home service work will be assigned to the University to supervise th e
observation and laboratory work of the students . Oregon stands uniqu e
among the institutions of the Pacific Northwest in making provisions fo r
a type of training the need for which was strongly emphasized by th e
events of the war and the activity of the Red Cross . The new school i s
expected to become a center for such training throughout a wide area .
s # 
THE RHODES SCHOLARSHIP S
Return to conditions of peace has turned the attention of young me n
again to opportunities for college and university training . The war it -
self and the growing spirit of internationalism has enhanced the attract-
iveness of provisions for study abroad . One of the most attractive o f
these opportunities for foreign study is furnished by the Rhodes scholar -
ships, which were suspended for the period of the war . This fall th e
state of Oregon is entitled to two new appointments and selections wil l
be made by a committee representing the leading colleges and universitie s
of the state . Not to exclude any worthy candidate, the committee ha s
decided that the qualifying examinations in the classics, mathematics, etc .,
OLD OREGON

7
are no longer required . In making selection, however, the committee wil l
take account of literary and scholastic attainments, proficiency in out -
door sports, force of character and faculty for leadership in universit y
activities . The candidate for appointment must have finished at leas t
two years of collegiate work, must have passed his nineteenth and not hi s
twenty-fifth birthday, and must be unmarried . Announcement with re-
gard to the Rhodes scholarships is made in the hope that some alumnu s
or former student at the University who feels his training incomplet e
may be interested in making application .
. .
THE SUMMER SESSIO N
An indication that the University had returned to a peace footin g
was furnished by the summer school just coming to a close . The summe r
session of 1919 was one of the most successful since the founding of th e
summer school in 1905 . Several courses in the summer school curriculu m
dealt with problems of reconstruction in the field of economics, sociolog y
and education . The attendance was entirely satisfactory, some 273 bein g
enrolled at Eugene and 315 in the extension summer school at Portland .
Among the students at both places were an unusually large number o f
teachers, principals and superintendents prominent in the educational lif e
of the state . Another indication of the strength of the summer schoo l
was the number seeking graduate credit and looking forward to an ad-
vanced degree from the University . Dr . J . Duncan Spaeth, of Princeto n
University, occupied the assembly platform for the first three weeks o f
the session and the remainder of the time was taken up by regular mem-
bers of the University faculty . The concluding lecture was given by Dr .
Joseph Schafer, who returned from a year's absence in time to receiv e
an ovation on the last day of the session . Not the least important fea-
ture of the summer school was a well-organized program of athletics an d
recreation . Tennis seemed to occupy the center of the stage so far a s
athletics were concerned, and championship tournaments elicited a dea l
of interest . Saturday excursions to Spencer 's Butte, picnics at Seavey' s
Ferry and visits to the Coburgs and Old Baldy gave opportunities fo r
companionship and healthy recreation . The regular session of summe r
school closed on August 1, but at the request of many seeking opportun-
ities for further study a term of five weeks was added . Courses wer e
given in literature, history, education, and most branches of the sciences ,
and some 32 students enrolled for the second session of the summer school .
which followed the first . This new departure may lead in the near futur e
to a summer session of eleven or twelve weeks, accepted as the academi c
equivalent of a regular university term or quarter .
FACULTY MEN RETUR N
The opening of the fall term will witness the return of at least tw o
members of the faculty who left the institution for appointments else -
where. Besides Dr . Robbins, mentioned in connection with the new school
8

OLD OREGO N
of sociology, Colin V . Dyment, who left the University two years ago t o
become the head of the journalism department at Washington, wil l
resume work in October . Professor Dyment's time will be divided be-
tween the extension school in Portland and the University proper at Eu-
gene. Three other members of the faculty absent on leave will retur n
here as head of their respective departments with the opening of th e
fall term . Dr . James D . Barnett, absent since Christmas, has been actin g
head of the political science department at the University of Washington ,
taking the place of J . Allen Smith, one of the best known politica l
scientists of the country . Dr . Barnett has recently finished a book deal-
ing with the requirements of a sound civil service policy, and is now en -
gaged with other political scientists of the state in compiling a text-boo k
on Oregon government . The second member to return is Dr . Josep h
Schafer, head of the history department and dean of the summer school .
Dr . Schafer's leave has extended over a period of a year, which has bee n
spent in Washington, D . C ., doing work for the National Board of His-
torical Service, a form of research work auxiliary to the bureau of publi c
information . Dr . Schafer is at present head of a committee of eigh t
chosen from the American Historical Association to outline a new cours e
of history study for the common schools of the country . The aim of thi s
new course is to meet the requirements of a scientific training for citizen -
ship by stressing the evolution of our economic, social and political life ,
and making clear the part America has played in world politics .
One of the best known alumni members of the faculty is Fred S .
Dunn, '92, head of the Latin department . Professor Dunn returns t o
the University in October after one year's service with the Y . M . C . A .,
most of which was spent in Italy .
Professor O . F . Stafford, head of the chemistry department, was ex-
pected to be on duty in McClure Hall again this fall, but it is now prob-
able that his leave will be extended . The past year has been spent b y
Professor Stafford in the field of industrial chemistry in connection wit h
new processes for utilizing wood waste . This new branch of the industr y
has been made possible by his own researches conducted in the chemica l
laboratory at the University of Oregon .
Several younger members of the faculty absent in military servic e
will answer roll call on the campus in October . Among these are Loui s
C. Rosenberg, professor of drawing, and Allan C . Hopkins, of the com-
merce school .
. . * *
SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE HONORED .
The School of Architecture has this spring won the marked distinctio n
of admission to the Association of American Schools of Architecture, a
distinction granted to only a limited number of schools of architecture, an d
those of the highest quality . The Oregon school now ranks with Harvard ,
Columbia, Cornell, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and eigh t
others of the highest standard, as one of the thirteen schools now admitted
OLD OREGON

9
to the association. Under the able leadership of Dean Ellis F . Lawrence
the school has rapidly advanced in both enrollment and standard of work
At present the school offers two options in architecture-the design op-
tion and the structural option, and in addition a normal course for ar t
supervisors, and courses in design, drawing, painting, modeling and city
planning t
competition with student work in other architectural schools and privat
ateliers throughout the country. Drawings are sent to New York an d
judged by a New York jury, and students from Oregon have secured firs
place in several of these competitions during the past five years, besides
receiving a very high average of values in the Beaux Arts Institute o f
Design of New York .
 
THREE OF FACULTY AWARDED EASTERN FELLOWSHIP S
Three well-known members of the faculty will be absent on leav e
during the next academic year to pursue research and graduate study a
eastern institutions . A . E . Caswell, of the physics department, has
been awarded the national research fellowship by the national researc h
council l
of national defense. Dr . Caswell work will be done in the laboratorie s
at Princeton University, and his investigations will cover the problem s
of thermo-electric galvano-magnetic, and thermo-magnetic properties of
metals . Caswell, Dr . Boynton will be as-
sisted by Geo . W . Monk, M . A ., for two years a graduate student a t
Chicago University, and during the last year an instructor in physics a t
O. A . C. The department of education will lose two men for the aca-
demic year, both of whom will pursue graduate work at Columbia Uni-
versity. Professor Fred L . Stetson has been awarded a research scholar
ship and will specialize in the study of school supervision l
be taken during the year by H. R. Douglas, a University of Missouri man
who has been superintendent of schools at Ontario . A . N. French
has also received a scholarship at Columbia, and will do graduate work i
educational sociology. The teaching work formerly done by Professo r
French will be taken care of by Victor P . Morris, a graduate of the Uni-
versity of Oregon with the class of 1915.* . s
THE UNIVERSITY GROW S
Every indication now points to an increase of at least 50 per cent .
over the pre-war attendance at the University when the fall term open s
on October 1st . An unusually large percentage of the undergraduate s
who quit the University for military service will return to complete thei r
course at the earliest possible date w
approved dune 3, 1919, providing a subsidy of $200 a year for student s
who have served in the army, the navy or marine corps. Resident mem-
bers of fraternities have made lists of those who expect to return next 
fall and in many cases the number of old men will be double the mein-
10

OLD OREGO N
bership of last year . Fraternity managers are already seriously con-
cerned about the problem of housing the old members, to say nothing o f
freshmen they expect to pledge at the opening of the fall term . Dea n
Straub, who has during the last year delivered more than 50 addresse s
before high schools some 21 commencement talks and whose itinerary ha s
taken him into every part of Oregon, confidently predicts that the fal l
enrollment will exceed 1,500 . In spite of discouraging reports with re-
gard to difficulties of housing, all this increased attendance will be take n
care of in an adequate manner . Every spare room in Eugene will b e
listed and every incoming student will find lodgings suited to his need s
and the demands of his purse . The increase in the student body will ,
however, emphasize the fact long manifest to University authorities, tha t
the institution is outgrowing its buildings and plants and that new spac e
must be provided for class rooms, laboratories and library and dormitor y
facilities .
MILITARY TRAININ G
The Reserve Officers Training Corps will be continued at the Univer-
sity until the military training policy of the federal government assume s
definite shape . Captain Raymond C . Baird, who came to the Universit y
last March, will be in charge for the next academic year . With the ex-
ception of Lieutenant E . L . Cook, who assisted for a part of last year ,
Captain Baird's staff will consist entirely of new men . Three new non -
commissioned officers have been assigned to duty at the University-Ser-
geant-Major F . I . Agule, First Sergeant James C . Reid and Sergean t
Henry N . Blancit . The detail of additional commissioned officers is ex-
pected. Military training will be required of all freshmen and sopho-
mores except those who show a satisfactory record of service in the fed-
eral army . For juniors and seniors the work will be optional . Th e
course of instruction has been entirely reorganized and the work of th e
several classes carefully co-ordinated . For freshmen the work will b e
entirely basic ; with sophomores some attention will be given to tactica l
problems . For juniors the course will be tactical and administrative, in-
cluding a study of military Iaw, international law and the law of lan d
warfare . Seniors will study the history of our war department and th e
evolution of our military policy . The study of civil war engagement s
will be carefully analyzed and maps and diagrams will show the positio n
of army corps at different stages of the battle . Officers of the Universit y
batallion will be chosen from juniors and seniors who take advance d
work in military science, while non-commissioned officers will be chose n
from the ranks of sophomores . To make military training more prac-
tical Captain Baird plans to localize problems of military strategy an d
study them with reference to topography and terrain in the neighborhoo d
of Eugene . Greater attention will be given to target practice . Range s
will be established and squads of men will be trained in attacking and

firing on targets that may appear in any part of the field . In prepara-
tion for this work in the field men will be given practice in target range s
now being fitted up in the second floor of the University barracks . Th e
increased attendance at the University will, of course, swell the size o f
the University batallion and Colonel Baird has already requisitioned som e
300 additional sets of equipment . Word has just come that the war de-
partment will organize a training unit of the Coast Artillery at the Uni-
versity, one of very few to be established by this branch of the army .
Officers for instruction will be detailed and much equipment provided .
It will be remembered that the Coast Artillery Corps now embraces no t
only the coast fortifications, but also the heavy mobile and railway ar-
tillery, the anti-aircraft artillery, and other branches . Instruction will b e
given in all of these .

THE PAULINE POTTER HOMER MEMORIAL LIBRAR Y
Members of the library staff of the University of Oregon and othe r
friends of the late Pauline Potter Homer are establishing in her memor y
a collection of beautiful books to be placed in the University Library wit h
which she was associated for a number of years, first as a student assistan t
and later as a regular member of the staff in the cataloguing department . .
The books to be included will be fine editions, many of them beautifull y
illustrated editions of the standard classics . It is planned to make thi s
collection the beginning of a "browsing" collection such as is found i n
many college libraries . The case containing the books has been placed i n
the art balcony directly over the loan desk . This type of memorial is fel t

offered by Mrs . Homer's parents, Mr . and Mrs . E . O. Potter, and her hus-
band, Mr . Carl N . Homer . Following is a list of them :

tribute) .
HOMER D . ANGEL L
Homer D . Angell, class of 1900, is our new president of the Univer-
sity of Oregon Alumni Association . He played on the varsity footbal l
team back in those days when five yards was all that a plunger had t o
make in three downs . Also, Homer was an orator, winning the Stat e
Intercollegiate Oratorical Contest and carrying away $150 of the interes t
upon the $2,500 left by the Hon . Henry Failing for deserving seniors o f
the University .
But Homer is no angel, despite his name, for his college records sho w
that five dollars a month paid not only his room rent, light and food use d
in batching, but also the sums that he gave to charity . That was befor e
the days of unions, and the janitors at the University had not the benefi t
that comes from collective bargaining . Yes, Homer Angell was janito r
and today if you get past the force of "stenogs" in the offices of Angel l
and Fisher, in the Lewis building, you will find this dignified personag e
proud of the fact that he was not only janitor but a first class A-number-
one janitor that fought relentlessly against the hoards of Deady bugs, an d
who would have won the battle had not desire for more learning draw n
him to New York City .
At Columbia University Mr . Angell was awarded a scholarship an d
was graduated in 1903 with both the degrees of Master of Arts and o f
Bachelor of Laws . Since then he has been practicing law in Portland ,
Ore . Our new president is a "dyed in the wool" Oregon man and bac k
of everything that will promote his Alma Mater . 'The most disloyal ac t
that he ever committed was when he married outside of the fold in 1908 .
But as Mrs . Angell, who was formerly Mayme Henton, of Tacoma, ha s
adopted her husband's Alma Mater, we will forgive him .

VERNON H . VAWTE R
Vernon Hill Vawter, class of 1913, is the new member upon th e
Board of Regents of the University of Oregon . Vernon is like his worth y
father, the late W . I . Vawter, of the Class of 1886, in having received a
full quota of "Oregon Spirit," which he retained . Back not so man y
years ago, when the University of Oregon was fighting those bi-annua l
referendums, before the late lamented Mr . Parkinson went to the happ y
hunting grounds, on the occasion of a rally around the lemon yello w
standard, Mr . Vawter the elder said, "To speak favorably of the Univer-
sity of Oregon in some of the Willamette Valley towns is to invite a
14

OLD OREGO N
fight," and isn it the truth that this able and honorable sire of our ne w
regent was on the fight early and late and upon all occasions in behalf of
the advancementof education in general and higher education as repre-
sented by his Alma Mater in particular.
It is fitting that the son, so admirably suited in enthusiasm and busi-
ness sagacity should aid in carrying forward this standard, now triumph
ant, as a member of the Board of Regents
Vernon was born in Medford, lives in Medford, and when that fa r
distant time comes, will die in Medford . I . Vawter, the father, started
the Jackson County Bank, which was the first bank in Medford . Th e
two brothers, Vernon and Bill, are "banking" there today, and it is n o
more than reasonable to predict that Vawterswill be running a banking
business in Medford when the millenium comes These Vawters are stick-
ers, and that is a reason why the University is fortunate to have one a s
a regent. Vernon has a lower jaw that is not a "happen so ."
Our new regent had just one girl while in Medford High, and jus t
one girl while at the University of Oregon, and it is the same girl tha t
helps him run a bungalow in Medford today . Vawter was formerly
Aletha Emerick, of the Class of 1914
It will be interesting to learn of the attitude of Vernon Hill Vawter ,
member of the Board of Regents, upon the subject of hazing . Verno n
was hazed when he was a freshman, and believe me, fellow alumni, Vernon
was well hazed-not because he had more small-town tricks than mos t
freshmen, but , well  - bore goes:
There was a bright young chap from Salem in the same fraternit y
with Vernon who was very wise and he suggested to Vernon. bow to make
the best of a bad situation. When the sophomores came to lead the tw o
to the slaughter, Mr. Vawter as well as his friend had a rotund stuffe d
appearance
While our new regent and other victims were on all fours trying t o
scramble like an egg, a sophomore Sherlock Holmes discovered something
wrong and pulled sundry bath towels, sweaters, blankets, overcoats, Ore-
gonians and a few copies of the home town paper from the folds of Re -
gent Vernon Hill Vawter garments . This was considered a very seriou s
offense in the eyes of the sophomores and punishment was meted accord-
ingly.

Fall Athletics
By Marion F . McClain, Graduate Manage r
THE NEW FIEL D
Oregon has a new football field . On Home-coming Day, Novembe r
15th, Oregon's players will try their cleats for the first time on the ne w
turf and our old rivals from the Oregon Agricultural College will be ou r
guests .
Years ago, before Hugo Bazdek had learned that Oregon is a grea t
state, wild ducks swam calmly on Kincaid field for the greater part of th e
day, to be driven noisefully away by Oregon's hopes when the hour cam e
for afternoon practice . As time passed there came rumors of a ne w
field. These rumors persisted from year to year, but each Home-comin g
found the big game staged on the same old quagmire with the outcome de -
pending far too largely on flukes and fumbles .
This year the big home game will be played on one of the best field s
on the Pacific Coast . Competent engineers, after an exhaustive study o f
athletic field construction in different sections of the country, have de -
signed for . Oregon a field which embodies the most satisfactory feature s
of the various fields studied .
A well tiled base of gravel averaging over twenty inches in depth ,
with crowned center, forms the foundation of the playing field . Thi s
base is covered to a uniform depth of fourteen inches with sandy loam ,
easily pervious to water, preserving the crown of the base and providin g
a drainage system which should keep the field free from water under th e
most adverse weather conditions .
A turf playing field, grown under the expert supervision of H . M .
Fisher, our lawn specialist, will give Oregon a football field equalled b y
that of few Pacific Coast institutions .
In the construction of the field provision is being made for a quarter -
mile track . The track may not be completed this season, but the plan s
which will be carried out in the near future show the track encircling th e
football field with a 220-yard straightaway in front of the new grand -
stand on the west side of the field . There will be room for the field event s
on a thirty-foot strip of ground lying between the inside rail of the trac k
and the side line of the football field, directly in front of the grandstand .
Climatic conditions make the seating problem difficult because of th e
necessity of providing shelter from the prevailing rains . A covere d
grandstand will be erected the full length of the west side of the playin g
field. This stand will be 300 feet long and forty-six feet wide with twent y
rows of seats its entire length . A first-class shingled roof will be pro-
vided which will project far enough over the front rows of seats to giv e
ample protection in times of ordinary storms to all of the four thousan d
spectators which the stand will accomodate .
Entrance to the grandstand will be by means of stairways leading
16
 
OLD OREGO N
from the back of the building . There will be no direct way for spec-
tators to pass from the grandstand to the playing field .
The space beneath the grandstand will be equipped for training quar-
ters, with dressing rooms, team rooms, lockers and showers . The players '
entrance to the field will be a doorway leading directly from the dressin g
rooms through the center of the front of the grandstand onto the field .
On the east side of the field will be erected partially covered bleach-
ers, 120 feet long, with seating capacity of approximately 3,000 . Thes e
bleachers are to be considered as temporary and will eventually be re -
placed by a large modern grandstand . It is hoped that a movement ma y
be started by the Alumni of the University to erect a permanent memoria l
grandstand on the plan that has been followed with such great success i n
a number of the larger eastern universities and colleges .
Work on the new field, which is located at the corner of Fifteent h
Avenue East and Agate Street, is being rushed to completion as rapidl y
as possible . Work of grading the field was finished last month and con-
struction of grandstands and bleachers is in the hands of the contracto r
with instructions to rush .
Next season's baseball events will be staged on the old diamond jus t
south of Kincaid Field, but plans for the new field provide space for th e
stick artists at the south end of the football field . The bleachers on th e
east side of the football field will furnish seats on one side of the diamon d
and movable bleachers will be built for the other .
Coach C . A . Huntington and Trainer Will Hayward both spen t
the summer on the campus to keep in touch with the work that is bein g
done and assist in .' every way possible in making the new field and it s
accessories the best that is possible .
With the opening of the fall quarter college athletics on the Pacifi c
Coast will be restored to a pre-war basis . Football will, of course, be i n
the limelight . Oregon with a nucleus of her world-beating 1916 tea m
back from overseas service and the stars from her 1917 and 1918 team s
in togs ready for action, will be fighting for the center stage position .

Lamar Tooze Writes a Boo k
One more Oregon alumnus has entered the field of literary produc-
tion . It is Lamar Tooze, a University graduate of the Class of 1916, wh o
has just published, in collaboration with Bryant Wilson, University o f
California, a war story entitled, "With the 364th Infantry in America ,
France and Belgium ." Chaplain Wilson and Lieutenant Tooze wer e
members of the 364th Infantry (Ninety-first Division) and participate d
in all the battles in which the division was engaged, in France and Bel-
gium. Chaplain Wilson has been awarded a Belgian Croix de Guerr e
for bravery during the Ypres-Lys operation . Lamar Tooze's twin brother ,
Leslie Tooze, an Oregon graduate with the class of 1916, and also a lieu -
tenant of the 364th, it will be recalled, was killed in action September 28 ,
1918, while leading a charge north of Bauley woods during the battl e
of the Argonne .
The book is handsomely bound in cloth, contains 264 pages, twenty -
two official pictures and three official maps . The first edition was pub-
lished by Putnam's, New York .
It is not a history . As the preface states, it is a story of the ex-
periences of a typical infantry regiment of the Ninety-first Division dur-
ing the hard fighting preceding the signing of the armistice . It tells o f
the hardships and heroism of the western boys in billet and on the fron t
lines and is full of incidents that carry the reader over to France an d
Belgium, along the rough roads with the soldiers as they trudged wit h
their heavy packs night after night through rain and darkness ; up to th e
trenches as they waited, wonderingly, under their own barrage, for th e
time to come when they would go over the top ; through the terrible fight-
ing of eight days in the greatest battle of American history-the Meus e
Argonne-through the stiff battle on the Scheldt in Belgium ; with the m
when the armistice stopped the guns from Switzerland to the sea ; and ,
finally, after patient waiting, to embark with them for home . The author s
have combined the tragic with the humorous but the story has none of th e
elements of the melodrama . Due to an unexpected demand, a secon d
edition, limited in number, is to be published . In this issue of "Old Ore-
gon" will be found a blank to be used in ordering this book . The author s
have generously agreed to donate 25 cents on each book, ordered upo n
this blank, to the Woman's Building Fund .
After his graduation from the University, Lieutenant Tooze entere d
Harvard Law School, but after one year discontinued his studies to ente r
the army . While in France he attended a four-months' course at th e
Sorbonne, Paris . He has again entered Harvard and will complete hi s
law course there .
