BALKS AT USE OF ENGLISH President Campbell is in receipt of a letter from Barcelona, Portugal, asking for copies of the University catalogue.

Con tributions by Gifted Writers Will Make Year’s First Issue Great Success. The first issue of the Oregon Monthly will be out Saturday. This issue has been devoted principally to Commencement and Alumni news, one of the features is to be Mrs. Ellen Condon McCornack’s article on Ore gon’s first commencement, when she with two others graduated. Hal Bean has written an interesting account of Friday Harbor—the spirit of the life and the essence of what the students accomplished there. A cut of the place has been inserted as a front ispiece. A “breezy” account about Summer School will also appear. The author ship, however, is unknown. The sta tistical articles concerning what each class has left to the University, to gether with the alumnae notes, will be of great interest. Professor Dunn has also contributed to this issue of the Monthly. His con tribution came in the form of a class ical and polished poem. An anonymous writer sent in a good German poem. Among the stories is one by Esther Grisson, which deserves special commendation. It is alive with local color and is a clever por trayal of humanity in general. Earl Stannard has written a satire on “The Modern Method of Teaching Poetry,” which shows good literary ability. Dean Collins has contributed another of his humorous “Martin Miggs” stor ies. Every article is of interest, and the first issue of the Oregon Monthly promises to be a success.
