TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1914.
HIGHER ST A N DA AIDS.
Between 30 mid 40 students,
among them live Seniors, are cur
rently reported to have failed to pass
muster in the examinations just fin
ished. The report has uot, as yet,
been substantiated by the registrar’s
office, but the number is known to
be in excess of those who were
dropped by the 'wayside at this time
last year.
Tills might be taken as an indica
tion of a weaker bunch of students
at Oregon, but, as a general rule,
men do not wait until their Senior
year to flunk out of college. it
would be far more reasonable to sup
pc;se that the standard of scholar
ship at. Oregon is actually being
raised, and that the increased num
ber of those who were left behind is
due to the 10 per cent addition of
difficulties which have been added
to tlie average course.
Studies are peculiar things. The
avowed object of the average man
coming to college is study, but, for
some unknown reason, the old grade
school idea that instructors and their
subjects are by nature opposed to
tlie interests of the students, still
persists among the under-graduates.
Studies are peculiar things, but
the student who becomes possessed
of the Idea that study is a joke, is
taking an attitude that is likely to
wind up sooner or later in grave dis
aster. I'niversity of Oregon stand
ards are going up, and the man or
woman who falls to recognize this
« fact is getting in line to receive con
dolences.

This is addressed to the Alumni
and to our subscribers.
If you do not get your paper,
please let us know, giving your
name and correct address. Wo are
here to serve you to the beirt of our
ability, which wo admit Is not great,
but, nevertheless, we wish to send
the papers to all of the Alumni, if
° possible.
We were at a disadvantage in that
we Aero, fu/nislied no list of the,
Alumni, with fcheir correct- addresses.
We had to copy the list in the Reg
istrar's office, winch is far from be
ing complete or correct. Many of
tlie addresses were changed since the
list was made, and no correction
sent in. Now please don’t “howl” at
us, unless you have at least sent
your name to us. We have no way
of knowing where you are unless you
tell us. Please send us your correct
address, if you don’t get your paper,
and if ii doesn't come then, HOWL,
and howl long and loud and earnest
ly. We want to send you The Emer
ald but we can’t do it unless we
know where to send it. _
Just one more point in this lec
ture, and we will give you a rest.
When jou change your address
please let us knew. We don’t like to
be compelled to pay return postage
on^ bunch of papers which »re un
deliverable at tbe addyess named.
Remember, we want to “crab,” but
we do want a fair chance to make
good. And so endeth the reading of
the first lesson.
