SUCCESSFUL YEAR FOR TEE Y W. C. A. Prominent Women Speak Through out the Year on Topics of Vital Interest. The Young Women’s Christian As sociation of the University of Oregon is just closing a most successful year’s work. Under the careful guidance of the secretary, Mrs. Brown, and with the help of the ad visory board, the Association has in creased its roll to about one hundred and fifty active members, and has been able to accomplish much more work than ever before. Ihe meetings, which have been held weekly in the woman’s gym nasium, have aroused a great deal of interest. During the fall and winter months, the topics for discussion centered around the interest of the college girl, while during the second semester the problems of social life in college have been discussed. The various classes, Seniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen, have conducted special meeings; also the Juniors, who drew a large attendance, not only because of the excellence of the program, but also because of the refreshments served later. Miss Hopkins, Student Secretaary of the Northwest, and Miss Gage, Field Secretary, visited the University in January and held special meetings. It was with a great deal of regret that we said good-bye to Miss Hopkins, who leaves for India this June. Musical numbers given by various talented students have completed the programs. The Y. W. C. A. also wishes to meet the girls socially and provide good times for them. The annual Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. reception to new students during the first month of school started the ball rolling An informal reception given at the home of President Campbell permitted the girls to meet Mrs. Brown, the secre tary of th association. Just before Christmas a bazar was held, finan cially and socially a success. The children’s party with the wonderful baby show was the leading event of January, equalled but not surpassed by the County Fair of a few weeks later. Eevery one vied with each other to secure the most original stunt or side show, with such a highly successful and beneficial out come that it is rumored a similar fair will be held next year. Between semesters a progressive lunch was given. I he first course, creamed shrimp, was eaten at Kappa Alpha Theta house. Though the rain was pouring down in torrents, the proces sion then went on to Chi Omega house where salad and sandwiches awaited them. After the third trip, the Lambda Rhos served chocolate and doughnuts. The last jollification of the year was given the first of May.

Bose Speaks to the Uni versity Students on India Suren M. Bose, the Hindu lecturer who has been in Eugene the last week, has had the advantage of more schooling than the average person enjoys. He is a graduate of the Uni versity of Calcutta, and has studied I two years at the Imperial University of Tokio. Three years ago, he was enrolled at the University of Cali fornia, and the following year was graduated from Stanford. He special ized in chemistry, taking much more work in this department than is re quired for the ordinary major. He purposes to return to India and be 1 come a chemist there. He has also traveled extensively, having spent six months in China, six in Burma, and a long time in the interior parts of India, studying con ditions there. He is now traveling in America, lecturing on conditions in India, in order to arouse interest for the cause of India. He is one of a party of educated Bengalese who have deter mined to arouse the national spirit and drive the English out of their native land—peaceably or otherwise. Mr. Bose, however, looks quite peace able, and we need have no immediate fears on that account. Mr. Bose lectured at the Univer sity last Wednesday, illustrating his talk on India by beautiful pictures of native scenes. He also lectured in Dr. Bennett’s classes on “Education in India.” His most interesting lec ture, given Friday night, is on “Polit ical Awakening of India.” Dr. Stuart Has Special Course Dr. Stuart has instituted a special course for students intending to be come teachers of gymnastics. The course includes a four years’ study of al the physical sciences with prac tical work in teaching gymnastics. Several juniors have taken up the work and will be the first to graduate from this new department with hon ors, if their efficiency in taking meas urements of freshmen girls is any fair indication. The course prom ises to become very popular, as many freshmen have elected this work. DR. SHELDON Head of the Department of Education who goes abroad the first of June to study in European Universities.
