WE PUT IT IJ1* TO (). A. C.
In view of the fact that the general
public is asking for it, that the
finances of the two schools demand
it, that college spirit feels the need of
it, and that the cooled emotions of
Oregon students no longer stand in
danger of hindering it, the Emerald
has from time to time indirectly
stated that a reconciliation between
the University of Oregon and the
Oregon Agricultural College is the
logical thing that is bound to come
sooner or later, and has asked
the later college what it intends to do
with the resolution that is on its
books.
These efforts so far have brought
no further results than talk, and a
beating about the bush in order to
sound Oregon sentiment. In view
of the fact that the schedules
for spring sports are rapidly being
filled, and all available dates for con
tests are being taken, we feel
obliged to put the matter up squarely
and fairly to that college and ask for
a definite answer in the near future,
as to whether or not O. A. C. desires
to compete with Oregon in athletic
contests.
The Emerald now makes the state
ment, unofficially, but confident that
it echoes true student sentiment, that
Oregon on her part will do noth
ing against reconciliation, if
O. A. O. removes the obnoxious
resolution from her books that she
put there in a time when feeling ran
wild and passion guided the words
and actions of the students of both
institutions.
We learn from a well known mono
gram student at O. A. C. that the
sentiment there is quite generally
favorable to tlie removal of the ob
stacle, but that its actual removal is
being prevented by the agitation of a
prominent officer in the student body,
who seems to imagine Oregon will
put his college in a hole if it clears
tlie way for a reconciliation.
We would like to ask this states
man, if he thinks Oregon is blind to
the consequences of an attempt to do
such a thing? Has lie ever con
sidered what the public would say of
thi' University, if his college offered
to make things right and the offer
were turned down? Well, the Ore
gon students have no mind to put the
University in wrong by any such
rash actoin.
A resumption of athletic relations
is bound to come sooner or later. No
one thinks the two institutions will
go indefinitely as at present, and it
is ubsured to expect either school to
apologize for their part in the un
fortunate fracas. In the meantime
we are standing: about like a lot of
kids, letting: our graduate managers
worry over finances, our spellbinders
tear their hair in efforts to produce
college spirit over games with insti
tutions located four hundred miles
distant, and the public laugh at us
over the childishness of our ways.
It is because of the desire to do the
l ight and"sensible thing and escape the
criticism now directed at both schools
that we make the definite statement:
For the two institutions to remain
unfriendly is foolish and detrimental
to both schools. We will resume
friendship with 0. A. C., providing
she rescind the resolution severing it.
The affair which caused the estrang
ment will be forgotten and foregiven,
and the ever present spirit of riv
alry will be allowed to find expression
in the kicking of the football, the
batting of the baseball, the tossing of
the basketball, and the running of
the running races—all proper outlets
for the affervescent natures of college
students.
The matter is now up to O. A. C.,
and what she will do is a question, the
answer of which we await with in
terest.
We’re Much Obliged.
We are much obliged for the clock
in the Gymnasium.
No addition to that building could
have been more welcome at this time,
unless it were the completion of the
swimming tank, and none more thor
oughly appreciated, unless it were a
little water in a completed tank.
We’ll ask for a swim in the near fu
ture- maybe.
