The signature is that of Charles
Olson, ’12, and the above is the copy
of a telegram received yesterday tell
ing of the marriage of a pop
ular member of the junior class and
Varsity athlete.
The young lady referred to is Miss
“Bob” Whyte, of 682 Sandy Road,
Portland, and is well known to a num
ber of Oregon students. The mar
riage comes as the culmination of a
pretty romance and though Charles’
friends are not surprised at his choice
they did not expect the affair to oc
cur so soon. In a post card previ
ously received from Olson by another
college friend, he had written enig
matically, “If I am not back by Sun
day address me care California Tax
icab Co.” From this the inference is
drawn that the young benedict has
secured a responsible position in
Frisco and will take up his perma
nent residence there. Needless to say
the young couple are followed by the
best wishes of their many college
friends.
LARGE AUDIENCE HEARS THE
EX-PRESIDENT OF
VARSITY
TALKS ON “REALIZING OUR IDEALS”
The Material World Said Not to be
What it Seems—Brick Walls Only
Mental Concoctions
Probably the most scholarly and at
the same time inspiring address of
the school year was delivered this
morning at the assembly on “Realiz
ing an Ideal.’’ Dr. C. H. Chapman, a
former president of the University of
Oregon, and at present on the editor
ial staff of the Oregonian at Portland.
Dr. Chapman said in part: “The re
ality of matter has been questioned
by scientists and philosophers. What
appears to be a brick wall is in real
ity only a concoction of the human
brain.
Such theories, however, have no
weight with the people at large who
live in a mateerial world and cannot
see beyond it. The youth leaving col
lege is told by the materially minded
world to forget his ideals and busy
himself with the things about him.
This is wrong. The material should
not obscure the ideal for it only
wastes life when that life should be
made a full one. It puts the empha
sis on “how much” rather than on
what kind.
The ideals point to the real and yet
which are eternal, while the natural
points to the earth, which is tempo
rary and fades.
Ideals as ideals only are useless.
To become useful they must be ac
companied by deeds. The ideals of
Christ and Plato are of value because
they were applied to actual life.
The principal mental virtue is hos
pitability towards new ideas. Our
men at forty years of age become
chrystalized monsters, their minds re
fusing to accept any new idea. This
is wrong and is especially unbecom
ing of university bred men, who of all
men should have hospitable minds and
by virtue of their culture not be men
who say, “It can’t be done” but who
take a hand in correcting the mis
takes of our forefathers.
Before the address a member of
the Cartwright Concert Company
sang a solo which brought him a rous
ing encore.
APRIL FROLIC IS HERE
The fourth of the Annual April
Frolics will be held Friday evening,
April 28, in Hayward Hall. Each of
the seven sororities, the Eutaxians,
and the girls of the Oregon Club are
preparing interesting and amusing
“stunts.”
The “stunts” will take the first
place on the program and will be fol
lowed by a “Grand March” in which
each one will receive a favor from
the huge grab-bag. The remainder
of the evening will be spent in danc
ing. Ice cream cones and punch will
be served during the dancing in the
boxing room.
In a few days the different bulletin
boards will display “classy” posters
made by several of the most clever
co-ed artists, which will announce the
time and the exact amount of the ad
mission to be charged.

These Will Not Be Provided by Man
agement of Saturday’s Stu
dent Dance
Saturday evening, April 29, is the
date of the next student body dance.
This dance, as the one given last fall,
will be strictly informal, and will be
gin promptly at eight-thirty.
Several such dances were given last
year for the first time, and met with
the greatest success owing to the fact
that they offered practically the only
opportunities for the entire student
body to get together in an informal
social way.
This year it was planned to give
one each month, but for various con
flicting events but one has been given
thus far this year.
Rolland Kennedy has been appoint
ed manager by the executive commit
tee and states that all possible will
be done to make the affair successful,
but that for the remarkably low ad
mission price of fifty cents the man
agement will not furnish pencils for
the programs. These must be fur
nished individually.
WILL EN1ERMN WOMEN
Scroll and Script Will Give Elaborate
Garde;/ Party Next Saturday
The Scroll and Script, the women’s
senior honor society of the UniviYsity,
will give a garden party to all the
women of the University Saturday
afternoon. President Campbell’s lawn
will be the scene of entertainment,
and here the present members of the
society will meet their fellow co-eds
In the receiving line will be Mrs.
Campbell, Lila Prosser, Olive Donnell,
Marion Stowe, Juliette Cross, Helen
Beach, Edith Woodcock, Cecil Wil
cox, Mary DeBar and Willetta Wright.
Also Frances Oberteuffer and Ruth
Duniway, seniors of the class of 1910.
The Scroll and Script society was
organized last year by seven of the
prominent senior girls: Ruth Hansen,
Bertha Dorris, Frances Oberteuffer,
Ruth Duniway, Mae Sage, Caroline
Dunston and Jennie Lilly. Each Jun
ior Week-End, Junior girls will be
elected to membership in the society.
The number to be taken in each year
is limited to eleven, and the qualifica
tion upon which the selection is made
are scholarship, interest in student
body activities and general popular
ity.
All freshmen at the University of
Washington must wear green caps
beginning with next Monday. This
was the edict given out by the soph
omore class at that institution in a
meeting last week. Failure to comply
with this ruling will be punished by
the paddle, was further stipulated in
the orders passed. An amendment to
the ruling was proposed, in which it
was stipulated that freshmen shall
not be allowed to come out by the
front door.

The Oregon baseball team returned
Sunday night from a week’s trip in
Washington and Idaho. The team
played seven games, winning three
and losing four.
In the first game with M. A. A.
C., in Portland, Oregon won by the
score of 9-1. The Oregon team field
ed in perfect style and piled up twelve
hits. Cobb pitched a good game and
Word caught.
In the first Washington game the
Oregonians were defeated by a 3-2
score. The game was hard fought
and won on close decisions. Houck
pitched for Oregon and Taylor caught.
The second Washington game was
lost by a score of 4-3. Peet started
off for the visitors but was hit free
ly in first inning, retiring in favor of
Cobb. The game was called in the 7th
inning to allow the Oregon team to
catch their train. The game was mar
red by considerable wrangling.
In the first game with Pullman the
Oregon team was defeated by the
score of 9-2. The W. S. C. team clear
ly had the better of the engagement,
clouting the Oregon twirlers at will.
Houck and Peet pitched and Taylor
caught.
The second game with W. S. Cn
ended with a 9-2 score favoring the
Collegians. Cobb, Jamison and Peet
were pounded freely.
Oregon won both games with Tdaho,
first by a 6-0 score and the second
6-2. The Oregon team piled up four
teen hits off the Tdaho twirler in the
first game. Houck pitched good ball
for Oregon, allowing but one hit. In
the second contest Cobb let the nor
therners down with six bingles but
kept them well scattered. Taylor
caught both games.
After considerable investigation the
Advisory Board of the Y. M. C. A
has decided to secure either John
Hunt or .1. S. Hodler, both of Deoauro
University, to succeed E. M. Rrown
as general secretary for next year.
A telegram was sent to the Presi
dent of Depauro today asking him r>i
secure either one or 1he other of the
men. The board has no preference
for either, for from the recommenda
tions the men both seem to have the
same high abilities.
Thev are seniors this year at De
pauw and are both members of the
Beta Theta Pi fraternity. The Ad
! visory Board feels confident of secur
I ing one of them.
