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.

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.

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.

I the Oregon National Guard of Cor
vallis will play Oregon on the follow

“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

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.

1913 COACH IS
ATHLETIC COUNCIL’S COMMIT
TEE CONSIDERS MERITS
OF WOULD HE
MENTORS
RUMOR NAMES LEONARD FRANK
Pinkham, However, Probable Selec
tion. 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

declined to name the man he lias in

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
