DIPLOMAS ALREADY TRANS LATED One of the hopeful signs of the times is the recent action of the Fac ulty in deciding that henceforth Uni versity diplomas shall be printed in English. The custom of using Latin grew up in the days when that lan guage was typical and representative of the ideals and functions of the uni versities of the world. Every uni versity man was a classicist and a student of the ancient languages. To day, however, the classical ideal has given place to the human service ideal. That man is best educated who is best prepared to serve his fellow men. As a result we find the social sciences, history, sociology, economics, and kindred subjects, holding first place in the “liberal education.” The ancient languages hold a secondary place. The typical college graduate today is not a Latin scholar. In fact, a constantly growing number are pass ing by the study of Latin altogether. It is not required in our high schools, nor in our universities. To be sure, | scholars in Latin and Greek are nec- j essary to our civilization, and the study of these subjects should not be decried for a moment. On the con trary, the tendency seems to lay too j little stress upon these subjects in the modern curriculum. Still it is suffi cient that a comparatively few men and women should make them the object of long and intensive study. Unless one wishes to make them his life vocation, he cannot well afford to become a scholar of the ancient languages. The objection to printing diplomas in Latin is that it is misrepresenta tive. It typifies an obselete situa tion. Good, plain, straightforward English is more in keeping with the times. WORLD NEWS In today’s Emerald is a summary of the more Important news events of the world, taken from the wire dis patches of the daily papers. It does not pretend to be "hot off the wire” to the very moment of press time, but it does attempt to cover the news of state, national, or international im portance since the last appearance of the Emerald. "But why,” it is asked, “does the Emerald attempt to publish news that does not come under its specific field, and which is covered very completely in the city dailies?” The reason is this. There are many University students who never see a daily paper. One sorority in parti cular subscribes to no paper at all other than the Emerald. College stu dents, in a world of their own, fre quently lack interest in the events which concern their state, or their nation. The Emerald does not at tempt to substitute for a daily news paper, but it is trying the experiment of attempting to stimv-late an interest in things beyond the horizon of the Oregon campus. If it succeeds, the World News column will be a perma nent feature. If students do not read it, it will, of course, be discontinued. A thirty-two piece bund furnished the music for the Annual Hand Dance at Stanford University recently. Announcements Freshman debate—Try-outs will be held March 22 and 29.

Senior Dance—Folly Hall, Tuesday evening, March 4. COIMlMiSED Of Interest to Student After Hill’s Address—Endorsed by Judge Thompson. As an aftermath of Samuel Hill’s address of last Wednesday, in which he showed the deplorable lack of roads in Oregon, comes the news that the state legislature is at present seriously considering a bill to create a State Highways Commission for the purpose of plotting and supervising road building and to advise the legis lature as to the highways needed. According to Judge Thompson of the County Court, there is at present no official road commission in the State of Oregon,—so far there have been only volunteer organizations, mostly in certain localities, for the purpose of boosting the roads needed by that section. "I believe,” said Judge Thompson, “that a state highways commission is the first thing in legislation,—it will be of the most importance to tne people. Great sections of land now practically unknown and inaccessible will be put in touch with early mar kets. What we need here in Lane county, is a road running north and south, another one to the coast, and one leading to the east through the center of the State. With a commis sion whose business it is to look after such things, it is not improbable that we will have them. At Washington is the Nation Highways Association, they experiment at road building, study the types of roads needed in certain localities and operate with the local authorities in their building. Oregon should have a system of trunk roads cutting all through the state. The government forest service is at present constructing a road a round the forest reserve at Cape Perpetua that requires an extraordinary amount of rock work.” Sigma Nu entertained friends last evening with an informal dunce at the Shack, opposite the University of Ore gon.
