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.

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

•HIE ELKS TOOTH" PROMISES
TO MAKE SEASONS HIT
The Elks Tooth,” a fascinating com
edy put on at the Eugene Theatre by
the local lodge of the B. P. 0. E. to
night and tomorrow night, promises
to be the hit of the season. Local
elks have imported a car load of
scenery and expensive costumes, and
the line of catchy dialoges on tap are
alleged to surpass anything yet heard
at Eugene.
Several old University men are on
the cast, among them Dean Hayes,
“Mike” Walker, and Elmer Payne.
CLASS TO STUDY ENGLISH
ORGANIZED IN PORTLAND
A new course in English has been
started in Portland, under the aus
pices of the University. Mrs. Par
sons returned Wednesday morning
from Portland, where she has organ
ized the class for study under this
branch of extention work. "There
are twelve members," said Mrs. Par
sons, "employers and department
heads of the Portland Railway, Light
and Power Company. The work is to
cover practice in business correspond
ence. as well as other types of dis
course. The class will be visited from
time to time by Professor Thurber. or
Professor Reddie, or myself. 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.
