Examination and the press of elev enth hour preparation over took the Emerald’s editor and staff last Wednesday, and the paper did not appear. It was one of the rare occasions on which studies necessarily interfered with college educations. With this final issue of volume II, the present editor lays aside the edi torial pen, or rather rackety type writer, and discontinues forever the ponderous editorial “We.” No longer will he speak ex cathedra, to the eager, rapt multitudes. The world in general, and this college in particular must worry along without his guid ance and advice on every concivable topic. Except for help from com mencement day orators, the universe must run itself. There is, however, a glimmer of hope in the prospect. The editorial toga falls upon an unusually capable man. Next year’s staff will be ex ceptionally strong, and the Emerald is certain to improve and grow into its greater possibilities. The greatest regret of the retiring editor is that he was unable to ful fill his rash promise further to expand the Emerald to six pages or increase it to a tri-weekly. From the news department, either of the proposed changes was practical, but there was the all important money side to be considered, and the expansion could not be financed. On the other hand, “we” have much to be thankful for. Due to the help of a faithful and efficient staff, the editorial work was lighter and the precedent that editors flunk out, was broken. Our readers were lenient in judging mistakes. Every issue of the paper offended someone, throughout the year, yet, the editor was not thrashed and only five of his former friends have forgotten him. All in all, editing the Emerald, has been a most pleasant, profitable, and above all an interesting undertaking, and if the editor has justified the con fidence reposed in him by the student body, he feels amply repaid, even if salaries are lacking.—Vale. There is a deep obligation devolv ing upon those of us who remain for Commeneement, to see that the re turning alumni are properly received and made to feel at home. Oregon is particularly fortunate in its alumni. They have made the college what it is ami stand ready to assist in every way possible whenever called upon. Let’s give the returning old grads a hearty welcome, and show that we of the succeeding generations are keeping their memories green, and are not for getting the great deeds they wrought for Old Oregon. Thirty-two victories out of forty three intercollegiate contests, is a very respectable showing for any col lege. Victory is an Oregon tradition, and it will please the returning alumni to learn that the custom they established is being preserved, even unto the third and fourth genera tions. Minerva, the goddess of wisdom, and Juno, the goddess of marriage, are now traditional enemies. Now that “Skipper is domesticated, he must stop philosophizing. Let us hope he will cease proclaiming his weird theo ries and settle down into the harmless married man. Here’s all kinds of happiness to you, “Skipper,” for any man who edits the Eemerald a year deserves lots of it. IN 43 INTERCOLLEGIATE CONTESTS “U” WINS 32 Percentage of Victory For Whole Year Is High At 744 A resume of the collegiate year just closing shows that Oregon partici pated in 43 inter-collegiate contests and made the very creditable record of winning 32 of these. In these con tests all the JNorthwest colleges have been met as well as Utah, California and Stanford. Figured by percentage of victory the rating of the Lemon teams is 744, which is a quite respect able showing for any college. Baseball, with a rating of 571, was the least successful activity and inter collegiate football the best, as no game was lost to a college team. Championships were won in track forensics and tennis and in football, baseball and basketball Oregon fin ished second of the Conference teams. The synopsis of the year’s contests are as follows: Won. Lost. Football . 4 0 Track . 3 4 Baseball . 8 6 Forensics . 5 1 Basketball . 11 3 Tennis . 1 0 32 11 Election of E. H. S. Alumni The Eugene High School Alumni will hold its annual election tonight at the Folly Theater Hall at 8:30. After the meeting the Alumni will give its annual dance to the Seniro class of the High School. R. BURNS POWELL, ’12. Who Will Edit Volume 111 of Oregon Emerald.
