EDUCATING IN EFFICIENCY
Education is efficiency. The effi
cient man is educated. 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

with the necessary changes in rules.
It is based more upon the skill and
versatility of the player, and not so
much upon the brute strength.

GRAD OF ’84 DEPLORES
PASSING OF LAUREAN
Clarksburg, W. Va., Feb. 6, ’13.
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.
