The Christmas vacation cornea at that time of the year when there 1b a natural cessation of student activ ity, a sort of natural pause after the more strenuous work of the earlier purt of the autumn term, both In an athletic way and In the way of stud ies. It Is in a sense a recuperative period in which a good rest may be taken for the strenuous ordeal of final examinations. And incidentally it Is the last chance that basketball and track men will have for a rest before active work In spring athletics takeB place. During the coming weeks, the members of the Oregon student body will be spread over the entire state, and it might well be remembered that this will be an excellent time for a little University missionary en deavor. Only In recent years has the true function of the University, Its position as a public servant In the commonwealth, been recognized lo any extent by the great majority of the people. Individual statements, personal talks on the part of the students, can do more to convey the true Importance oT the University, and convince people if any convincing be necessary, that the stand taken at the November election, was the cor rect one, than any one other thing that could he mentioned. It Is a time, too, when the few backward ones who have not yet solved the curves of some of the pro fessors, can avoid an enforced sem ester's vacation at the end of the first half of the the school year, by a little conscientious application to those studies which are found parti cularly perplexing. Hut Christmas Is not primarly for grinding although both studying and optimistic boosting may find their places as side issues. It is a time for helpfulness to others, with conse ntient enjoyment for self. Today is the last Issue to be^run off iu the year of 1918. And as Its farewell message of the year to the (intent body and to the faculty of Oregon, tin Emerald extends the best wishes for Christmas and for the New Year. <H>\CKUMX« SI VIUH l'X.VMS. It is to be hotted that the Faculty of the University of Oregon in the near future will see fit to consider a plan that has worked successfully elsewhere, that of excusing the Se niors in all departments from the second semester examinations in any subjects in which they have a grade of M or higher. If grades are lower than M they show that the student receiving them has probably not been applying himself diligently and would ! be really benefited by the Btudy and review that final examinations would require. But the Senior who can show at the time of examinations an average of M in each of his different courses, should not be required to furnish further laboriously written testimonies of his efficiency. At the time of the June exams, his every hour is occupied with com mencement business, so why should he be further harassed with the te dium and worry of a final examina tion in each of his classes? Rather let his last days at Oregon be gladdened by the joy of painless graduation. President Campbell’s present to the student body is deeply appre ciated. Better work in and out of college and a higher degree of effi ciency, should follow close after a perusal of the “Message to Garcia.” SCOPE OF EXTENSION . WORK AGAIN WIDENED Home Biology Lectures to Be Given in Country Near Eugene The scope of the extension work of the University of Oregon will be wid ened because of a request of Mrs. L. L. Constance, who lives two miles out in the country, to have a lecture home biology given to a group of in terested women in her neighborhood. Mrs. Constance called up the Ex tension Department and told of the interest that she and a number of the women of her vicinity are tak ing in the work dealing with home sanitation, drainage, flljbs, stables, and pests of country life. This work is being carried on as a part of the , extension work through the lectures' of Dr. Clifton F. Hodge, professor of civic biology, who speaks through out the state on these subjects. After the request and suggestion i of Mrs. Constance, Dr. Hodge will | give l>ls first lecture about the last of tliis month to the group of women in her neighborhood who will assem ble to hear the problems of home sanitation discussed. After the first of the year he will probably lecture to this group at occassional intervals. During the month or October, 37 students were doing regular work through the correspondence depart ment of the University of Oregon, and during November there were 4 4. In about a week a new corres pondence catalog will be published and about 1000 copies will be dis tributed over the state to present students and to those Interested in the work.
