FICIALLY FOR WOMEN
IN COLLEGE
Mutual Good Will and Under
standing Brought About Among
Members and Students.
Oregon's first Women’s Undergradu
ate Advisory Council was organized at
die beginning of the present school year.
For many years a need has been felt
for some organization which would have
the power to act for the University wo
men in matters pertaining to them.
As a result of due consideration of this
lack, sixteen senior girls formed them
selves into such a hotly.
Although the existence of this conn
cil has been brief, much has been accorn
plished in the way of bringing about
mutual good-will and understanding
among its members and the other girls
in college. I he aim of the council is
to be of benefit to every girl in col
lege, whether she is an upperclassman,
a luwcrclassman or a post-graduate.
Suggestions which if carried out would
promote this good will are always glad
ly received.
I he sixteen women who form the
council at present will go out from the
i htiversity in a few weeks, and others
must come up from the ranks of the
juniors to till their places.
I lie constitution provides that in May
of each year, the junior girls shall meet
and elect sixteen girls from among
their own number who shall represent
them in the council during the ensuing
year. I liese elections take place next
I hursday at 4:00 p m in Professor
I )el oil’s room.

Funds Collected Show That the
Projected Bungalow Will
Be a Realization
I lie Young Women’s Christian As
sociation lias been very successful dur
ing the past year. I he holding of the
meetings on Monday at 4 :(M) o’clock
has brought about a good attendance,
and many are just beginning to realize
liovv interesting the Y. W. C. A. meet
ings are. By the membership cam
paign, held during the first week of the
second semester, about 75 members
were added to the roll, and many of
them are putting their best efforts into
the work.
Miss Hopkins and Miss Gage, the
state secretaries, visited the girls this
year and gave several inspiring ad
dresses.
I hiring the past year two innovations
have been taken up; one, the social
meetings, the other the Bible study
groups. The social meetings are belli
at the sorority bouses, and have been
effectivi in bringing the girls into closer
relation. Several of the bouses have
forme . individual Bible study classes,
which are led by l uiversiey professors.
1 liese have proven very beneficial.
Ibe regular Y. W. A. meetings
have been instructive this year. Many
prominent speakers, such as Professors
I )unn, Swectser, Schaefer, and Terrill,
and Mrs. Miller, have given their assist
acne in making them especially attrac
tive. Special emphasis should lie laid
upon the excellent musical „ numbers
that have played an important part in
all the gatherings.
But it is on the financial side that the
\ssociation has more than ever before
concentrated during the past year. The
girls are planning to build a bungalow,
which is to serve as a place for rest
and study for all the University girls.
I be need foi such a place lias long
been tv It, and now its fulfillment is
being realized for the first time. The
girls, through the efficient aid of the
advisory board, tire gradually obtain
ing the necessary funds for its comple
tion Great credit is due the faculty
and students in general for their man

FACULTY
HONORS A
DISTINGUISHED GUEST
COLLOQUIUM LISTENS TO
AN INSPIRING
ADDRESS
Prominent Educator Formerly
Collegue and Instructor of
Faculty Members.
'I lie- Faculty Colloquium turned its
final meeting for the year into a most
enjoyable banquet in honor of General
W. 11. H. Beadle, South Dakota’s most
distinguished citizen, now on a visit
to his daughter, Mrs. Mae Beadle
Frink, wife of Professor Frink of the
engineering department.
The meeting was held Monday even
ing in the w^ll-appointed grill room of
the beautiful new Motel Osburn.
I)r. W. P. Boynton presided and call
ed upon Professor F. E. DeCou, form
erly a student under General Beadle and
later one of his colleagues in the State
Normal School at Madison, South Da
kota, to tell something of the life and
work of the distinguished guest.
Professor DeCou referred to General
Beadle’s struggle for an education, his
graduation with the famous “War Class
of ’61” from the University of Michi
gan, his honorable record during the
Civil war, culminating in his being ap
pointed brigadier-general in 1865, his
entrance to the practice of law in 1867,
after receiving the degree of LL. B.
from his aim t mater, his appointment
in 1869 as surveyor-general of the new
territory of Dakota and his codification
of the laws of the territory.
With his incumbency of the office of
Territorial Superintendent of Public In
struction from 1879 to 1885, General
Beadle’s great work as an educator be
gan. During these years he shaped
largely the school laws of the Dakotas.
lie wrote the article in the constitu
tion of South Dakota which provided
that no school lands should ever be sold
at less than their appraised value which
should never fall below ten dollars per
acre.
Congress has deemed the provision
so wise that it has placed it in the enabl
ing acts admitting seven of the newer
states into the union.
In 1(X)J the University of Michigan
created him Doctor of Laws. The
teachers and school children of South
Dakota are preparing by popular sub

Doctor Beadle in the rotunda of the
new capitol of South Dakota.

Professor DeCou were former colleagues

the thrilling events of the civil war
as l)r. Beadle.
