Having been granted a leave of absence in the spring; of 1 10. he left Eugene on the eighteenth of June, sailing ten days later on the S. S. Rotterdam, bound for the city of that name.

More important research work was done at the University of Leipzig, after which he toured Switzerland and Prance, stopping at the important ities and points of interest. For two months he attended the University at Grenoble, Prance, which is historically famous as the starting point of the French revolution. Leaving Paris, he arrived in lam don just in time for the strikes, which prevented him leaving that city, and confined his attention to the post cor onation attractions. Prof. Koehler, who came directly home, says that the United States are good enuogh for him, notwithstanding the allurement of romantic Europe. Miss Jane Knox has returned to Eugene to re-enter the University. ARTHUR GEARY RETURNS FROM SOUTHERN OREGON Graduate aMnager A. M. Geary re turned Saturday evening from a visit to the towns of Medford, Ashland, Grants Pass, and Roseburg. While in Southern Oregon, besides making a business trip to his father’s ranch near Medford, he inquired carefully into the conditions surrounding the purposed Glee Club Tour of South ern Oregon in the interests of Man ager Cecil. Ho also got in touch with the bas ket ball men of the different towns that he visited, and found that the teams were not yet organized, but that the University would have no trouble in securing several games, if they took the trip south. While in Ashland, he addressed the High school students at a football ralley,! and found them very much interested in the work at the University of Ore gon. i RUSHER DROWN TO WIELD SCEPTER OVER ROOTERS “Rusher” Brown was selected by the Executive Council last evening to lead the Oregon rooters for the next year. “Rusher” is a senior in the University and nas had ample training for the position which he will hold.

Probably the most interesting fea ture of the summer school work car ried on by the University this summer was the geological course given at San Juan Island, Friday Harbor, Washington. Seven University of Oregon students, together with Prof. Sweetser and family, made the trip, and returned, enthusiastic over the work accomplished. The little island is situated ninety miles north of Seattle, and is known as the Puget Sound Marine Biological Station. It was originally controlled by the University of Washington, but the Universities of Oregon and Idaho now also have an interest in it. Each summer a number of students from the three institutions make a six weeks study of the numerous geolog ical formations on the island. The two most popular courses given his year were Ecology and Algology, taking up the study of plants and mimals in their natural surroundings dong the shore and island. A steamer was chartered for thirty days, and iach day a number of specimens were fathered and studied in the labora tory. Several two day excursions were made, one as far as Victoria, B. In camp two students were as signed to a tent, and on the trips each student carried his bed with him. Several co-eds made the trip, and en joyed ‘roughing it’ as well as did the nen. On one occasion the camp tire woke away, and a water bucket bri rade was formed to quench the flames, i'he line extended up the side of a steep mountain, and the women of the COLLEGES WOULD JOIN ORATORICJIL CONIES1 Permission to Join the Inter-Stat< Oratorial Contest Asked for by Whitman and W. S. C. Two more Northwest colleges have become desirous of a chance to wir some of the forensic championships j which have been drawn so irresist ably to the Oregon standard within the past two years. The management is in receipt of applications from both Whitman College and Wash ington State College for admission to the Northwest Orotorical League, j which consists of the Universities of Washington, Montana and Oregon. It is impossible to tell at this date what action will be taken by the j associated schools, upon the applica tions. Coach Johnson refuses to make any ; statement as to the attitude of Ore gon in the matter. All he will say is that he intends to concentrate his attention first on debate, which is of primary importance at the beginning of the year. Manager Geary is making arrange ments to renew the contract with Utah, which expired last year. If he is successful in this, the tryouts for the team to meet Utah will begin in November. Coach Johnson is anx ious to get a line on the material with which he will have to work. He has learned definitely that several of the old stars will be unable to partici pate this year; and he is anxious to get acquainted with the new men upon whom he will have to depend. He has asked that every freshman who has done any debating at all in prep, school, hunt him up in his office in Pillard Hall to get acquaint ed and prepare for work. SOPHS PRESENT OFHCES I Second Year Men Find Only Select Few to Fill Positions for Coming Year. A general lack of enthusiasm seemed to pervade the very air when the Sophomores met yesterday in Vil lard Hall for their first business meet ing of the year. In the absence of both president and vice-president of the former freshman class, Peter Crockett was elected temporary chair man and under the guidance of his steady hand the Sophomores proceed ed to the election of their officers with a calm and dignity that would have done credit to a Vassal- yell practice. The horde of office-seekers usually present at such gatherings was con spicuous by its absence, no competi tion being evidenced, except in the balloting for vice-president, which was finally captured by Janet Young. All other officers were elected unani mously and are as follows: Vernon Motschenbacher, president; Alva Grout, treasurer; Ruth Beach, secre tary; Woo Sun, sergeant-at-arms. No other business of importance was transacted, but a second meeting was announced to take place in Prof. Reddy’s room on the following /Tues day. Ben Williams, TO, is registered, with a view to taking his master’s degree, in an elementary law course under Dr. Barnett. While pursuing his studies in the University, he is also reading law in his father’s of fice. company did their part equally with the men.

Miss Waterman, Miss George. Miss Lilly, TO, and H. Scul len, TO. Four other Oregon people not connected with the University, also made the journey.
