No 18 EDUCATION SUPPLEMENTS NA TURE’S GIFTS AND FITS FOR LEADERSHIP. SAYS SPEAKER FARMING IS STATE’S WEALTH University Men and Women Looked to for Solution of Problem of High Taxation. What counts ? “Personality—and understanding of the other fellow, and a capacity to sympathize with him, and impart cheer to those around you.” Such was the answer given by C. C. Chapman, Secretary of the Portland Commercial Club, and State Immigration Agent, in his address or “My Oregon,” at Assembly yester day. Mr. Chapman imparted his gooe: humor to his audience by reciting the course of sprouts he was put through before being led upon the platform; and remarks about his stage fright He admitted that he really had stage fright, and said that it was hard tc scare him. Mr. Chapman said that eaucatior was to the individual as the harness to the horse. “What could a horst pull, if you fastened the load to his tail,” he asked. “Education supple ments what nature has given you, am fits you for leadership. We wht have not had not the education yoi are getting, realize this every day We like the way an educated man car ries himself—and we take pride ii knowing that we have such an in stitution as this, and that we hav< a part in its maintenance.” He outlined the growth of the Ore gon Development League, of whicl the Portland Commercial Club is th< nucleus. The Commercial Club o: Portland organized ten years ago, t( advertise the state, for they realize! that therein lay the future of Port land. He told of the organization o clubs in all the cities of Oregon; hov they began to notice defects in thei communities — sidewalks, streets buildings,—and the progress of im provement. “But the creation of nev wealth in Oregon lies in greater agri cultural development. The value o our timber depends on the market and we are cutting down wealth whet it is «old; but the development o our land is laying a foundation fo future wealth. Anil for this develop ment we must have more pople, am we must teach the new generatioi the best methods. More producer mean more money for our institu tions. and a lesser burden of taxa tion upon the people as a whole,1 said Mr. Chapman. (Continued on last nage.) NINE POUND DAUGHTER MAKES ADVENT INTO CLARK HOME _ j History Department with Seven Off spring Now Leads in Infant Population. Step forward, please in the Faculty Row to make way for the nine-pound daughter of Professor and Mrs. R. C. Clark, born last Monday evening, at 9 o’clock. This makes the second addition to the Faculty within the past two weeks, the daughter of Professor and Mrs. H. C. Howe having appeared a fortnight ago. The Emerald mathematician erred in a previous computation of the num ber of Faculty children, the figure 37 being two short. This latest addition swells the total to an even two-score. The Department of History now i boasts of the greatest density of pop ulation of any University department, for with six children of Professor Jo seph Schafer, the progeny of the de partment now number seven. WINGED!" STMS 10 PEA) OREGON HERE Viereck, Former Varsity Player, in Club Lineup—Sims Is Again Disabled. _ The Multnomah Club basketball team of Portland will play Oregon Saturday night in the University gymnasium. The game is attracting much attention, as it is expected that 1 Multnomah will give the Varsity a hard contest. The Winged “M” team numbers such stars as Keck, formerly of the 1 Oregon Agricultural College, and Viereck, who played sub guard on the Varsity last year and starred in class and interfraternity games. The re • mainder of the team will be chosen 1 from Fisher, McFarland, Masters. ‘ Toomey and Pugh. .“The Oregon line up will not be ’ known until the whistle blows,” stated ! Coach Hayward this afternoon. Since ' the Idaho games, Walker, Brooks and Fee have been working out a? forwards, and Captain Sims, Brad shaw, Boylen, and Briedwell as ’ guards. Fenton will start at center, but ii is possible that Bradshaw will be , tried in this position and P'entor shifted to forward in place of Brooks or Fee. Captain Sims fell on his in , | jured knee Monday evening during . j practice and might be unable to entei I the contest Saturday evening. . ! The Company D basketball team oi I the Oregon National Guard of Cor vallis will play Oregon on the follow ing Satu day on the local floor. •_, + r__ ’ “Higher education is the con densed experience of others.”—V il ) liam Hanley. “Early women graduates of the University have set a high standard of efficiency to be followed by the present generation of University wo men," said Miss Ruth Guppy, Dean of Women. “In searching the record, I find that they not only worked for their own benefit, but worked and are still work ing for the good of the University. Miss Guppy has made out a list of University women who have excelled in scholarship and positions they have held and are holding in public life. Eight of this number have been mem bers of the University Faculty. Most prominent of these is Mrs. Nettie MeCornack Collier, ’80. Mrs Collier was president of the Oregon Alumni Association, ’81, ’82, ’83, vie-, president for five years and treasure! ! of the same order for two years president of the Oregon Alumna< Association from 1908 to 1910, a member of the Eugene High School Board, 1902-1906, and 1909, until the present time.

FRESHMEN CO-EDS SAVE CLASS MOTION TO DISCONTINUE WEAK INC OF OREEN UADIS DEFEATED BY VOTE OF WOMEN. WHO REVERSE ATTITUDE AND SECURE APPOINTMENT OF MOILANTE COMMITTEE — The green cap custom was again fastened upon the class of 1913 by the ■ act of the class itself at a meeting held Tuesday afternoon in Villard Hall. This action was taken only af ter a Freshman girl, Miss Myrtle I to wear the caps any longer, and af ter a Freshman girls, Miss Myrtle : Gram, vice-president of the class, had ' declared in the debate upon the mo tion, that the Freshmen are respected | more when they wear the caps con I tinually than when they do not. : Hereafter, any member of the Fresh man class, who does not affect the colored head gear, will be violating | the mandates of his own organiza ! tion. However, had it not been for the i girls of the class who were present, it is likely that the motion would have been adopted, as the masculine ele ment of the yearlings voted solidly for the abolishing motion, but as the women were in the majority, the mo tion was adopted, allowing the class to go on record as fastening the rule upon themselves. At a previous meeting held several weeks ago, the problem of enforcing the inflicted custom was raised, but tactfully deferred until class leaders could “confer” with upperclassmen. No real authorized conference was held, but that the question was not to be settled by ignoring it, became evi dent Tuesday, when the radical mo tion was again made. During the debate upon the motion to refuse to wear the little “lids,” which grew heated at times, several members of the class declared that some still persist in violating the green cap rule. It was here that the ] girls took a hand in the argument, j and presented the proverbial feminine view of the matter, by declaring that the men are more admired when they faithfully adorn themselves with their badges of servitude. In order that the charges shall not be so pertinent in the future, Presi dent Robert Prosser has appointed a vigilence committee of six Freshmen to apprehend any who forget their caps in the future. 1916 GIRLS FOUND TRIPLE-fl SOCIETY Club Now Secret and is Organized in Endeavor to Bring About Friendly Relations. Following hot on the footsteps of Gamma Nu, a freshman girl’s society has been organized, but differs from its predecessors in the fact that it is neither secret or honorary. The name selected for the new club is “Triple A.” All Freshmen women in the Uni versity are eligible for membership. Myrtle Gram, who is one of the moving spirits in effecting the com pletion of the new organization, said yesterday, “We have contemplated the organization of this society for some time. It. has seemed as if there were almost no chance for the Freshmen women to get together on an equable 1 friendly footing, and it has been with , the idea of bringing the women of the da s into closer touch with one an other that “Triple A” has been founded.” The society will be more completely organized Friday, when a meeting is called to .take place at the Kappa Alpha Theta house at 3 p. m. All Freshmen girls desiring to enter into membership in th new society are re ; quested to be present at this meeting, I or to hand in their names. '’ROFESSOK DI NN SPEAKS ON MEDIAEVAL SAINTS Professor Dunn spoke Tuesday con cerning the two mediaeval saints Lawrence, a deacon, and Sebastian, a soldier, who were martyred during , the conflict between the early Roman Church and the Roman Empire. These two persecutions, he said, are examples of two methods of torture employed during the ten periods of martv rdom,—St. Lawrence was roast i ed alive, and St. Sebastion was pierced with arrows. The speaker illustrated his lecture with lantern slides taken from copies of paintings of the two saints done | by Michael Angelo. Raphael, and sev eral other contemporaneous masters. Professor Dunn will lecture next Tuesday afternoon on the topic, | “From Michael Angelo to Antiochus,’’ > dealing with Mediaeval art. BOOSTS COLLEGE MEN FOR NEWSPAPER WORK C. Chapman, of Portland Commer cial Club, Says Educated Man Has Advantage. “The limit of success in newspa per work depends on the man him self,’’ said C. C. Chapman, secretary of the Portland Commercial Club, Wednesday, in his talk to the stu dents of Journalism on “The Condi tions in a Metropolitan Newspaper office.” Everyone must work for himself, i The atmosphere is intense. The City Editor has reached his position by 1 outworking everyone else. lie shows no consideration for anyone, lie is a keen, active, mental machine. A cul; reporter is meat for him and his as Vtants. He will send the cub on an a iv ment and nothing but death must prevent him from bringing home his work. He must get the facts, must get the names accurate. A reporter must have instincts to get news which appeal to the public and get the human interest into it. He can acquire style later. ■ A! PEA V- DECIDE THEY DON’T WANT “DEAD ONES’ At an aftermeeting of the Laureans, a serious discussion took place as to whether the Laurean Literary Society should be kept up or dropped. As a compromise, it was decided that a committee of three, Hardesty, chair man, Lombard and Geisler, be ap pointed to devise means of getting the society out of the rut into which it, seemed to have fallen. A paper will be circulated this week by the committee, on which every Laurean is to promise to be dependable in at tendance and on programs, or stand a fine. It is the intention thus to weed out the “dead” ones. The Laurean Literary Society was organized in the first year of the Uni versity as a corporation under state charter. During its first years it be came- the strongest organization on the campus,, but in recent years has suffered a slump until now there is a membership of 30, and an average attendance of ten Laureans. CC-EDS SHUT 001 OF ENGLISH CLASS OUTWIT PROF. HOWE Girls Answer Roll Through Window, Write Quizzes and Hand in at End of Hour. It takes more than locked doors to defeat the purpose of an Oregon Co ed, so Professor It. C. Howe, of the department of English Literature dis covered this morning. Annoyed by the procrastinating tardiness of the women in his eight o’clock class, and beli ving that he could provide a stim ulus for earlier rising, Professor Howe locked his class room door promptly at 8 o’clock this morning. As he expected, ten or a dozen breath less Co-eds rushed up hardly a mo ment later. Not to be outdone, however, they answered to their names at roll call through the window. Then they pro ceded to write out their class room papers, and, when the door opened at the end of the hour, handed them in with the others. Professor Howe appreciates a joke, and recognized the futility of attempt ing to get ahead of an Oregon Co-ed.

If He Can be Induced to Return. The committee outhorized by the Athletic Council to make the selec tion of a footbal coafh for the season of 1913, meets this evening for the first time since appointment. Al though no definite action toward se lection of the man will be made, the members, who are Dr. IT. R. Leonard, Captain Robert Bradshaw, and Arthur M. Geary, will discuss the merits of a number of possible candidates. Of this number are last year’s coach, Louis II. Pinkham. Virgil Earl, as alumni coaches, and a number of non-graduates, for example one Ham mond, ap army man who played on the Oregon team in early days, or Leonard Frank, a Minnesota player, who was assistant coach at Kansas last year. Regarding the latter, rumors have recently spread, and even broken into the newspapers, that Oregon has been seeking to “land” him to compete with Dobie, who is also an exponent of Minnesota tactics. As yet, however, the University of Oregon has taken no steps to land Leonard Frank. In fact, two of the committee knew nothing of Frank un til they were told during the past three days. With the committee Louis Pinkham is first choice, provid ing he car. be induced to return. Dr. H. B. Leonard, head of the coach-selection committe declares: “Personally, I know nothing of this man Frank. I do not say that he will not be considered, for he may be one of a number who have applied for the position. Unless some of the other members of the committee know more about him than I do, I will say that he is not a leading candidate. For my part, Louis Pinkham has shown himself very satisfactory as coach of the Oregon team, and if ho will con sent to return, I would favor him.” President Campbell declares that Li ds Pinkham can be induced to re turn. lie states that he knows noth in:'' of Frank, Dut admits t!> t, if one other man is selected, he will be »me u. who will also be employed as an iustrnctor in the University and em ; i""ed the year round. The president declined to name the man he lias in vi< for this position. Continued on page two. OREGON GLEE GLOB BECOMES ENTHUSIASTIC OVER COURTESY SHOWN BY BIG, STUDENTS The sixteenth annual tour of the Glee Club was brought to a magnifi cent culmination yesterday at Corval lis, when, after a day of unbounded hospitality tendered by the students and administration of the Oregon Agricultural College, the Club sang before a house packed to the eaves and wildly enthusiastic. Members of the organization who returned this morn ing-, are loud in their praises of the royal welcome extended by the Col lege, the attentions bestowed by the clubs and fraternities, and the flatter ing- reception accorded their program. After singing several ensemble j numbers at the Assembly in the morning, a committee of prominent rodents escorted the visitors over the campus and grounds, on a tour of in spection, following which the singers were taken in charge by the various fiaternities, who made them their guests until the time of leaving, at seven this morning. After the concert the O. A. C. stu dents fed the singers. It was a real banquet. The Oregon men were en tertained at the fraternity houses, and given an opportunity to meet and appreciate the men of Oregon’s State College. They returned to Albany this morn (Continued on last page.)
