THE LAI KEAN REVIVAL In demanding quality rather than quantity in its membership and in be ginning ti series of wide-awake pro grams, the Lautean society begins to show a few sparks of vitality. Let us hope that the sparks will soon re kindle the fire of enthusiasm which formerly character i/.ed all loyal Lilli roans. The value of such institutions its this is greater today than ever Ire fore. This is an age of co-operation, of organization. In business, so ciety, religion, government, and si 11 other lines of human activity the or ganized group is being recognized as the most effective medium through which human beings can express their will. Farmers, merchants, mechan ics, and men of all occupations, are organizing for the improvement of conditions. 1 lie teaching, preucning, medical, legal, and journalistic professions are raising their standards by fre quent meetings and discussions of ways and means, (iood government leagues are numerous. Study and self improvement, clubs arc springing up all over the state. Organization and co-operation is the watchword of the hour. The man or woman with the abil ity to organize a mass of people into an eflicient working unit; to conduct a meeting in an expeditious and busi ncsslike way; and to speak effectively to an audience, is indeed able to become an important unit of society in his or her community. Debating leagues and literary societies are laboratories for this kind of training. Fortunate is the man who is far-sighted enough to seize the opportunity olfered by them here at Oregon. It means not only dollars and cents in later years, but also thi‘ capacity to be a useful citi/i It; a factor for the betterment of mankind The laiurean society, in order to fulfill its function, must keep its standards high It can best do this by continuing its present policy Wil l out the lukewarm members and make a seat in the I aurean Hall an object worth striving for.

ARE EXTENSIVE PATRONS OF LIBRARY Instructors Draw 1,145 Out Of 1,580 Books Used— , 75 Volumes Added During 1912. Of the 1,580 hooks taken out of the Library on cards January 28, 1,145 were charged to Faculty members, and 435 to students. Sciences lead among the instructors with 348 vol umes, and only 27 among students. Literature, however, is almost as pop ular among students, who are reading 190 of the 387 volumes taken out. Useful arts showed about the same relative popularity among teachers and students as the sciences. How ever, in Social and Political Sciences the students lead, having 120 books against the Faculty’s 87. In religion also, the least read subject of all among Library patrons, numbers are slightly in favor of the students, who read eight books to the teacher’s s«ven. Philology shows the greatest difference in interest; the faculty has out 50 volumes, but only two are charged to students. Of history and biography 87 volumes have been lent to teachers and 36 to students; of philosophy and psychology, 31 to teachers and 13 to students; and of general works, 20 to teachers and three to students. The present number of volumes in the library is 41,588, of which 4,475 were added in 1912. The- number of periodicals annually received is about 375. The present annual appropria tion for books, binding, and periodi cals is $5,000, of which $900 is for periodicals and $700 for binding. During the present school year, 25 new periodicals have been added to the University library, of which nine are gifts, a number of them being Oregon publications, which are com ing through the courtesy of the pub lishers. Following are the ones added by gifts: Canal Record, Kansas In dustrialist, Illustrated Outdoor World and Recreation, La Paix Par la Droit, Pacific Banker, Pacific Coast Archi tect, Rural Spirit, Reclamation Rec ord, Suburban Life.

Profes sor Reddie will emphasize the public speaking side of the course." SPENCER APPOINTS SENIORS TO REVISE CONSTITUTION The inadequacy of the existing con stitution of the Associated Student Body and the necessity for an immed iate change was one of the questions decided at the last meeting of the executive council. In view of this, President Spencer has appointed a committee of Sen iors, headed by Karl Martzloff, to make needed alterations of the pres ent constitution. The exact nature of the changes which . will be proposed, cannot be ascertained at the present time, but will be made known at the next meet ing of the Student Body, when they will be brought up for consideration. It is certain, however, that the pres ent constitution will be materially changed. Preston & Hales Mfgrs. of all Leather Goods Dealers in PAINTS AND PAPER Agts.
