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. The meeting was to be ad
journed picnic fashion to Skinner’s
Butte, owing to rain, an indoor pic
nic was helil in the girls’ gymnasium.
Plans for the general work of next
year will he fully discussed at the
Northwest V. W. C. A. Conference to
he held at the Breakers Hotel, North
Beach, Washington, June 23, to July
3. All the colleges of the North
west. including those in Oregon,
Washington, Montana, and Idaho
will send delegates, and Oregon ought
to he represented by at least twenty
girls. Walking, surf-bathing, and
clamming are a few ways in which
the time outside of conference hours
may he spent. A good representa
tion at conference would be a fine op
portunity for displaying the Oregon
spirit in the Y. W. C. A., and also
a splendid way of bringing to a
close a successlfu year’s work.
The first intercollegiate balloon race
will be held June 3 at North Adams,

INTERESTING SCHOLAR
LECTURES AT VARSITY
Suren M. 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.
