Siam, Jan. 7, 1912. Mr. Arthur M. Geary, Eugene, Oregon. My Dear Friend: Located as I am out here, over 10,000 miles from the University, I don't get to hear or see much news of the Institution that I learned to love so much, but I have just received fro my father the page of the Ore gonian dated Nov. 12, that contains the article which you wrote on some of the records of the University and I want to congratulate you on the splendid article. It has been assigned a place in my scrap-book and will help to remind me of the days I spent with you. Think of waiting all this time to hear the result of the game between Oregon and Washington, and then have to be disappointed by such a score as 29-3. But both sides can’t win and we must take our turn in losing sometimes, I suppose. I hope we may be more successful in the track meets this spring. We had a fine trip on our way out here, sailing from San Francisco Oc tober 17, and stopping at Honolulu, Yokohama, Tokio, Kobe, Nagasaki, Manila, Hong Kong, Canton, and Singapore, before we reached Bang kok on the 5th of December. We were here in time, however, to see much of the coronation ceremonies of His Majesty the King of Siam, and it was a grand and gorgeous spectacle. Conditions here are fast becoming modern. We have a modern home in most respects and while it differs con siderable from those at home, we are able to live quite comfortable. Ask the proper party to see that I get the Emerald regularly. Must close now. Best regards from your old friend, CLARENCE A. STEELE. 0. A. C. in answer to a Whitman editorial, saying that Oregon and 0. A. C. were dissatisfied with their present systems of coaching, says the 0. A. C. is perfectly satisfied with Coach Dolan and desires no change.

Mr. Marion F. Keeys, lately a resident of Canton, China, will address the men on the subject, “The New China.” Mr. Keeys has seen the working out of the revolutionary changes that have taken place as that slumbering nation has awakened. He understands the situation there thoroughly, so his lecture should be worth while to ev ery one who wants to keep in touch with the rapid changes in the thought of the twentieth century. A special solo will be rendered by Mr. Oliver Needham. The meeting will be held in Deady Hall from 7 to 7:50 P. M.

As soon as the weather permits the outside track will be put in perfect condition.
