Memorial Day.
The University will adjourn tomor
row, May 30th, in honor of Memorial
Day, and the students are asked to
spend the day in quiet keeping with
the occasion.
Memorial Day is the one day in
the year which we devote to the
dead. We clear their graves of
weeds, place bouquets of flowers at
the foot of the stones which mark
their resting places, and we think of
the loved ones who have finished this
earthly struggle and of the noble
deeds which characterized the best
part of their lives.
We Americans in this age of ad
vancement pay but little attention to
the memory of those who fought the
fight before us. We are even prone
to scoff at anything which approaches
ancestorial worship—and yet, some
of the best examples of love, cour- '
age, sympathy, honesty, truehearted- j
ness, and all those traits which go to
make our lives sublime, are to be
found in the careers of our departed
fellows.
We can well afford to devote one
day in three hundred and sixty five to
such a cause. It perhaps does the
dead no good whatever, but it has its
good effect on the living, who like to
think that faithful service and human
sympathy and love are remembered
and rewarded even after the actor
has closed his eyes in that sleep
from which no one has ever awak
ened.
Slay for Commencement.
Every student, who can possibly do
so, is urged to stay for Commence
ment. this year. The exercises will
be unusually interesting, the number
of returning' Alumni probably larger
than any previous year, and the
graduating class the largest in the
history of the institution.
Those who have remained for
commencement in years past, in
variably pronounce (t the best week
of the college year. The flowers are
in bloom in abundence, the weather
is usually warm and pleasant, the
exercises are signiftcent and attend
ed by great throngs of people, the
alumni banquet and dance represent
the final windup of the senior class’
four years of college life and its en
trance into the ranks of Alumni, and
reunion of old students is pleasant to
see and mingle in.
In fact the whole week has the
atmosphere of an assemblage of good
people with common interests and
ideals, devoting the time to getting
acquainted and renewing old acquain
tainships.
We wish it were possible to im
press upon the students the truth of
these statements and make them
realize the value of being acquainted
with the graduates from Oregon, for
many of us have learned this value
from attendance at the last three
commencements, and know that in
urging students to remain for this
one we are giving them a gold
edged tij), so to speak.
Sophomore Over Emphatic.
In justice to Mr. Hayward, it must
be said that the article in Saturday’s
Emerald, written by a Sophmore, re
lative to the sanitary conditions at
the Men’s Gymnasium, was undoubt
edly overemphatic in its assertions.

Emblem Question Up.
Immediately after the completion
of the Eutaxian comedy in this
morning’s assembly, Pres. Ray called
to order a special meeting of the stu
dent body to consider new amend
ments to the constitution.
Carleton Spencer offered an amend
ment, whereby members of the Glee
Club are to receive a gold “O” sim
ilar to the one now received by the
debators for their services. This
amendment is the result of the club’s
action yesterday, when it accepted
the report of a committee appointed
at an earlier date, which recommend
ed the proposed amendment. Ac
cording to the proposed articles, the
emblem shall be a gold block “O,”
3-4 by 1-2 by 1-2 inch, with the name
"Glee Club” engraved on the face.
Another change in the system of
awarding numerals was embodied in
an amendment offered by Burleigh
Cash, which, if adopted, will limit the
lumber of emblems one man can re
ceive to one, on matter how many
he may earn.
At the next regular meeting of the
student body, .June 5, these amend
ments will be up for consideration by
the students.

ciently to insure a runable track,
Manager Geary, who left this morn
ing for Portland, will call olf the
Conference Track Meet to be held
on the M. A. A. C. field next Satur
day.
