Convention.
(Special to Emerald.)
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON,
Jan. 15.—Nearly 100 editors of the
Pacific Northwest were present at the
opening session of the newspaper in
stitute, which opened yesterday morn
ing at the University of Washington,
under the joint auspices of the Wash
ington State Editorial Association
and the department of journalism of
the state institution. President
Thomas Franklin Kane delivered the
address of welcome. He accentuated
the service which the press renders in
the world, comparing its faults to its
virtues, as a grain of dust to a moun
tain. He expressed his gratification
for the publicity the press of the
state had given the university. Ar
thur A. Smith, president of the Wash
ington State Press Association, re
plied to President Kane’s welcome.
Seneca C. Beach, of Portland, speak
ing of printing as a profession, said:
“If you find fault with your paper,
you find fault with your community.”
He contended that the way to get rid
of an unworthy paper was “not to
buy it or to patronize it.”
Job Office Duscussed.
Harry S. Stuff, of the Stuff Print
ing Concern, spoke on the “Job Of
fice,” and Louis Jacobin, of Concrete,
led in the discussion which followed.
W. E. Brown, of Seattle, spoke on the
topic, “The Newspaper Office,” and
Fred W. Kennedy, director of the
University printing plant, and others
discussed it. F. A. Hazeltine, of
South Bend, who is next to the old
est newspaper man in the state, spoke
on the economics of the print shop.
Advertising and circulation will be
the general subjects of discussion for
this morning and afternoon.
The newspaper men were enter
tained at 6 o’clock Dutch luncheon by
the Ad Club.
An invitation by the Seattle branch
of the United Typothetae of America
for the members of the Washington
State Press Association to attend the
Pacific coast cost congress in this city
July 14 to 16, and an enthusiastic de
mand that the University of Wash
ington should next year hold a news
paper institute like that now in prog
ress, were the features of a reception
later in the evening tendered the vis- j
iting editors by the Seattle Press I
Club. J. B. Nelson, Associated Press
correspondent, was the master of
ceremonies.
“Don't on any account neglect to
repeat this meeting next year,” said
Seneca C. Beach. “I can see very
clearly the nucleus on which we are
building. I can see, too, that the uni
versity is the logical place. Do not
by any means drop this from the uni
versity. Next year, if you have a
meeting, you will have a much larger
attendance.”
TROPHIES WORTH $500
Three Footballs Taken From FT. of W.
and Seven Columbia Banners
Among List.
In the University gymnasium there
are at present about forty trophies,
including cups, footballs, .and ban
ners won by Oregon’s track and foot
ball teams in various contests since
1900. The estimated value of these
trophies is about $500.
Three of the footballs among the
seventeen in the cabinet were won
from Washington University, the last
one being taken in 1908, when Ore
gon last held the Northwest cham
pionship.
Oregon has won every Columbia
FTniversity indoor meet that has thus
far been held, and there are as a re
sult. sever; banners on the walls of
the gymnasium. With these hangs a
much faded and tattered banner rep
resenting Northwest football cham
pionship for 1900.
Besides the trophies in the gymna
sium, there are numerous individual
trophies won by a number of Oregon’s
star athletes, which if placed among
the trophies now on exhibition, would
greatly augment the already credit
able showing.

informal a nature this week-end as it
was formal last week. All the dances

with the exception of the To-Ko-Lo
banquet at the Osburn, Wednesday,
which was quite an elaborate affair.

coming weaker, and by next week,
will be almost asleep until after the
opening of second semester.

anese tea room of the Osburn Hotel

fair. The room was decorated with
pink carnations. Music was fur

PRINCETON REVISES
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENT
Princeton University has made sev
eral radical changes in its require
ments for entrance by reducing the
number of subjects in which the stu
dent who has shown marked ability
during his preparatory years must
take examination, and to students
from a foreign country who wish to
take further work in an American
college.
This modification favors those who
decide to enter college late in their
preparatory courses. By these rules,
students of merit will be required to
take only a part of the examinations,
if they can get proper recommenda
tion from their principal. By making
liberal conditions in accepting Asiatic
languages in place of Latin, the Uni
versity hopes to get a larger percent
age of Asiatic students.
Coach Stagg. who is director of the J
department of Physical Culture and
Athletics, has just completed twenty
years of service for Chicago Univer
sity. He is an alumnus of Yale, hav
ing spent six years in that institu
tion. While there, he won five base
ball championships for Yale by his
remarkable pitching. He also was
a member of the football squad and
was chosen as all-American end.
