The two are inseparable. It matters not how many degrees you have accumulated, nor how many courses you have “taken”; unless you can do something well; unless you can add to the world’s productiveness. Unless you can do your small share toward mak ing the world a better place for hu manity, your so-called “education” is a misnomer. The acquirement of efficiency is largely a matter of choice with the student. He may school himself in systematic and effective achievement, or he may develop habits of careless ness and inefficiency. Many business men declare that they will not have a college man on the premises be cause he has learned to loaf. It is true that such has been the tendency. Students come up from the; preparatory schools, where the day is carefully planned out for them, and enter college, where they are entirely independent, where they go to classes at certain hours and have the rest of their time at their own disposal. It is not surprising that there are many who do not know how to handle the sudden freedom from control, who have not learned to substitute self mastery for that of superiors. They neglect to apportion their time and so form habits of procrastination. They use no method or system. The result is that after college days are over, they find it difficult to get down to systematic routine, effective plod ding. On the other hand there are men who maintain a systematic regular ity. They have hours for work and hours for Recreation and exercise. The two are kept separate, and are the more profitable for being kept kept thus distinct. There is no reason why habits formed in college should not be such ns can be carried on into life. Now it the formative period, and wise is the student who is far-sighted enough to lay the foundations for ef ficiency. The beginning of the new semester and the near approach of spring with its many temptations for an easy going existence make this topic worthy of real consideration MISS UOHSI.

To the Editor:—My dear sir: Let me say, first of all, that I have been a delightful reader of your splendid journal from its beginning, I note with pride the wonderful progress in the work of our University, the fine esprit de corps of the students and the high tone of the Emerald. I be long to the class of ’84, and since I left Oregon a few months after my graduation, I have been brought into touch, in one way or another, with a large number of our best educational institutions in the Mississippi and Atlantic states, and never for a mo ment have I felt that my honored Alma Mater was taking the dust of any of them. The evangelist Sam Jones used to say, “The more I see of some men, the better I like dogs,” so have I often felt towards my Alma Mater. The more T see of some of our older colleges, the more am I proud of Oregon. I know of no insti tution of like character that is freer from those social disturbances, haz ing, insubordination and the like, which often mar the harmony of col lege life and hinder the real work of the student. In that I verily believe that the Oregon State University is a model for them all. I have the pleasure of knowing that one or two, at least, of our older eastern colleges has made a special investigation into the manners and methods of our Ore gon students and that the investiga tion led to better conditions. That is saying something for Oregon and 1 am proud that 1 can say it. But just now T am sad. The Em erald indicates that the old Laurean Literary Society is oeing left out in the cold. Her lamps are going out, her fires are burning low, her old hall is empty, dust is on her walls, her orators are no more and her glory is departed. Is it true? Am I right? Listen; 1 want to tell the boys that after twenty-nine years of hard work, I am still repeating what has been my continuous contention, namely, that of all the splendid departments of that University, l got help from none of them worth more to me in life’s battle, than what I derived from the drill and hard work of the Laur ean Literary Society. 1 can never over-estimate the value of that society to me. 1 believe 1 voice the senti ment of nearly every fellow who was a member in it during the latter sev enties and the early eighties. There we had our papers, essays, orations, declamations, and mighty debates. There we learned how to tackle the great problems of state and church and civilization, and the fundamentals that underlie the very universe, and of course we settled them, finally and forever. There are several questions in political economy, state craft, phil osophy, and religion, with which we grappled in that society, that have never engaged us in like manner since. Some of us there found light on those questions that has been of incalculable benefit during all the suc ceeding years. To be a member of that society in those days meant work and the fellows did not flinch. If one was delinquent, he was fined and cheerfully paid it rather than lose his place in that inspiring: fellowship. 1 recall our public debates, when all the faculty and the citizens would come and we would have to meet in the old auditorium on the top floor of the Yillard building:. The occasion would be the talk of the town. 1 recall with delight the splendid record many of those giants have made since those days of ambitious ideals. Woody, the Hill brothers. S. W. Condon. Judge Wallace Mount, what a fine debater he was, resourceful, witty, full of good humor always, and usually gain ing his point. John Nelson Goltra, now a prominent medical lecturer and physician of Chicago: Judge Woodson T. Slater, handsome, a great favorite with the ladies, always a gentleman, logical, serious and a bull dog to hold his ground. Get out the old cata logue and look over the list of ’SI. 1 think, the boys of that class have done well Every one of them was a l.aurean We knew how to work. Hut some of us had not learned the blessed secret till we struck the l.aur eans With the classes that fol lowed. 1 have not much acquaintance: we had no Emerald in those days, and we of the Alumni, who had to settle far away, could not keep in touch as we can now. I believe in the Laureans. What that once splendid society did for me, can not be estimated. I have a fine boy. He must go to college. He shall have the best in the land. That best shall include every opportunity for cultivating the fine art of writing, debating, public speaking, and the general work of our noble Society of thirty years ago. I shall watch your interesting columns with solicitude that I may catch the assurance that the ancient prestige of the old so ciety will be restored. As long as I live, I shall continue to say, “Long live the Laureans!” Respectfully, W. C. TAYLOR, Class ’84. TOSPEAK AT ASSEMBLY Noted Churchman Will Visit the Uni versity—Was Associate of Joseph Riis. Bishop R. L. Paddock, a graduate of Yale and prominent since that time in missionary and other religious work, will be the speaker at tomor row’s assembly exercises. Bishop Paddock comes naturally into this line of work as his father was a mis sionary bishop in the State of Wash ington. He is at present Bishop of the Western Oregon diocese of the Episcopal Church. For the three years following Bishop Paddock’s graduation, he was associated with Jacob Riis in the ten ement district of New York. Later he took up mission work in the Epis copal Church. Bishop Paddock will arive here this evening and will remain in Eugene all of tomorrow. Aside from his as sembly address, his main object is to meet and speak to the University men. Look at the line of Reprints at Cressey’s, they are the best in the city. REX THEATRE WEDNESDAY —and— THURSDAY FEBRUARY 12 AND 13 “THE TOYS OF DESTINY” IN TWO PARTS ADMISSION, 15; LODGE SEATS, 25c L.
