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
