Beautify the Campus • ,
A significant step was taken by the I
Regents in the recent meeting when they j
authorized the erection of two new
buildings and provided for a capable
landscape gardener to lay off the campus
and the land recently acquired by the
University south of 'thirteenth street.
few will deny that there is ample op- j
portiniity for improvement in the archi
tecture and arrangement of the build
ings and grounds. I lie latter appear to
have been laid out without thought of
growth and expansion. there is no
large plan of arrangement and the build
ings seem to have been placed almost
at random with little regard for order
or harmony. I lien, too, they were erect
ed over a period of several decades, each
one embodying the architectural ideas of
its particular year. As a result the archi
tecture of the university is conglomerate.
I he grounds are arranged with little at
tempt toward the artistic and with the
exception of the "Duck Pond" are free
from landscaping.
Of course, Oregon has gone through
a strenuous evolution and has always
been cramped and hampered in develop
ing, but it would have made for a great
er university had the founders bought
more of the then cheap land, planned
(lie campus on a large scale, or erected
buildings of one style of architecture.
However, much may yet be done to
better these conditions. A certain defi
nite style ot building should be adopted
and maintained. I he later buildings, as
the Library and Dorm, harmonize and
ihis simple substantial style should be
well adapted to the University as a
whole. I'lie campus should be enlarged
and unified and an artistic scheme of
landscaping supported 1 his would unite
the present campus with the new land
south id I hirteenth streets and make
one campus In short the scale of the
college should be beautified and enlarg
ed with a view to the artistic and pro
portionate.
Present conditions have endured for
a long time and there are always argil
incuts against a radical change, but a
l Diversity, like most things, is judged
largely by externals and beautiful sur
rounding- have attracted thousands of
students to Stanford, California, and
' ornell In the past Oregon must needs
ge l along as best it might but with the
new era which is dawning; with the
Dreater Oregon must come a University
built on a larger, better scale.
I he landscape gardening and new
buildings are steps in the right direc
tion It is to he hoped they will he
only the beginning.
\fter the vile language the revivalist
has applied to the University and all
things therewith connected it is stir
prising that he should risk contamina
tion by actually coming onto the campus
and associating with the unregenerate.
After the slanders and abuse he has
heaped upon us it is equally strange
that we should care to listen to him or
that the authorities should allow him
on the grounds.
This type thrives on persecution. It
advertises them and in their own eyes
increases their resemblance to the
prophets. To most, however, this re
semblance will appear faint after listen
ing to their crude harangues, which for
logic, persuasiveness and appeal are on
a level with high school orations. Be
fore adressing the reprobates at the
Varsity Friday Brother Oliver should
remember what Matthew', 7 :6 has to say
about casting pearls before sw'ine.
At the recent freshman dance there
was fully as much crowding and con
fusion as at the old Armory dances
where it was always more or less of
a gamble whether one would ever re
cover his coat or partner. In the beau
tiful new gymnasium there would be
plenty of room for everyone, if but a
little system were used in the arrange
ments.
For future dances the arrangement
committee could add much to the even
ning’s enjoyment if they obviated this
trouble with a little system.
EXAMPLE, NOT TALK, IS
MORAL TEAGHER--HOWE
Concluding his series of lectures and
appling the principles he outlined the
week before in regard to mind growth
in the child, Professor Howe spoke
again last Sunday evening in the local
Unitarian church on "The Use of Lit
erature in a Moral Education.”
"Education,” he said, "is as broad as
life. The moral influence of literature
is moral influence through personality.
A child's moral education is a process
of imitation of parents and associates.
Literature is, in a way, equivalent to
life. It enables us to associate with the
great characters of the past as well as
those of the present, and with the crea
tions of drama and fiction.
"Aristotle said that the use of tragedy
is to purify the heart through pity and
terror. It is influential through show
ing the emotions of pity and terror in
the characters portrayed. Mere talk and
preaching is no moral education; that
is gained only through imitation and
through the influence of the personality
of those with whom we associate.
"An author writes a great deal of his
own personality into his productions,
thus unconscious!) influencing the per
sonality, the moral education.
"Literature undoubtedly began with
the record of human deeds and that is
the essence of literature to this day.
The records and writings about Lin
coln. Washington, Cromwell. Alexander
the (ireat. Luther, Christ, the gread
leaders of the human race form no small
part of the literature of the world.
"The one great value of literature lies
in widening the circle of acquaintances
and thus in widening our personality.
In literature we become familiar with
everyone, in all conditions of life from
the seamstress in the garret and the
miner down under the ground to the
prince and diplomat. This is a social
value of literature.
"As a child will become wolfish, if
brought up in a den, as it grows up hu
man raised in a human family, so it be
conies common through association with
common people and so it may become
elevated through association with the
elevated characters of literature, the
great men and women of the world.”

aminations at that institution.

BANQUET NEXT WEEK
The social committee of the V. M. C.
A. has arranged for a banquet for the
men of the school to be held on Thurs
day, March 10, at 6:00 o'clock. It is
not definitely decided where the banquet
will be held, but this will be known in
a day or two. Two or three of the lar
ger halls in the town are under consid
eration.
In order that no one will be unable
to attend, the plates will be sold for
half a dollar, although the quality of
the banquet will not be determined by
this rate. A good list of short toasts
and several musical numbers have been
arranged, and there should be nothing
to hinder one hundred and fifty men
from making ;m occasion of this event,
that will be remembered for some time.
A gitt of $100,IKX) was recently made
to \ ale by Alfred tl. \ anuerbilt, of
New York.
Next tall till students of the Univer
sity of Washington will be fined one
dollar for late registration or for change
of course.
COLLEGE JEWELRY ON
SALE AT DORMITORY
An excellent line of college jewelry
has been placed on display at the book
exchange in the Dormitory since Christ
mas. Everything, including classy seal
.mil (J fobs, souvenir spoons, hat pins
of a new and attractive design, match
sates, stick pins, etc., are included in
the assortment.
1 lie assortment has been placed here
by a large firm in Providence, R. I.,
which makes a specialty of supplying
college novelties and it is said that ev
en y state university in the country is
now carrying a line of these goods. The
goods are not of a cheap variety, but
are of the best quality throughout and
are an ornament wherever they are seen.
A number of the students have made
investments already and the nifty little
fobs and stick pins may be seen fre
quently about the campus. Because
there is no desire on the part of those
who are handling the goods to make
;tn outrageous "rake off,' the prices are
anything but prohibitive.
Every piece is marked in some wav
with the' letter or the seal of the school,
just exactly what most students are
looking for.
