The Senior class held a meeting yesterday afternoon, at which Cecil Sawyer, representing the women, and Hawley Bean, representing the men, were chosen as delegates from Ore gon to the Oratorical contest which will be held in Albany, March 13. The Senior play was discussed, and judging from the reports of the com mittee it is likely that “Fifty Miles from Boston” will be the one that is chosen if the necessary arrangements can be made. The play is to be put on during Junior week-end and the Seniors expect to start to work on it as soon as possible. A discussion was taken up con cerning the use of cabs and flowers at formal functions of the Univer sity. It was decided that the Senior class should go on record as taking a direct stand against the use of cabs and flowers at all formal functions. Both men and women were decidedly i in favor of this motion. A committee consisting of Alfred Collier, chairman, Vernon Genn, and George Stevens was appointed to se cure the construction of a large bul letin board to be placed near Deady Hall. This board is to be marked off with spaces for the four different classes and one large space for the University at large. All notices to be placed on it instead of on the boards of the various buildings. William Murphy and Otto Heider were appointed to look after the se curing of caps and gowns for the Seniors. These men are expected to make such arrangements as will be needed in order for the Senior class to scure caps and gowns without trouble. Of the committee on invitations, Edith Still was appointed chairman with Maude Mastick and Wallace Caufield as assistant members. Professor Frederic S. Dunn, class adviser, gave a short talk on the preparation for commencement. He stated that he hopes that every stu dent in the University can be induc ed to stay for commencement so that they may become accustomed to what occurs during commencement week and learn what is to be done by them in the future. He offered a number of criticisms on the actions of past Senior classes, citing a num ber of deplorable occurrences. He stated further that the present Se nior class is going to be drilled as a primer class in abcs so that every thing will run smoothly this year. WATCHES TO REPLACE FIRST PLACE MEDALS Stanford Track Authorities Make Changes in Regard to Interscholastic Meet Stanford University, Feb. 26.— Watches will replace gold' medals as trophies for first places in the Stan ford interscholastic track and field meet this year. This was the deci sion reached by the board of govern ors on Saturday afternoon. Never before has such an innovation been introduced on the Pacific Coast in preparatory school meets, but it is something which has gained great commendation in the Eastern inter scholastic meets. The winner of each event will re ceive a watch of standard quality and workmanship inclosed in a gold filled case. Timepieces will also be award ed to the members of the winning re lay team and to the winners of the singles and doubles championship in tennis. In making this change from a gold medal to a watch the board believes that they are awarding the contest ing athletes something more useful and something that will be prized more highly than a medal. The watches will be. of special design and engraved. As yet the contract for these watches has not been placecf. Details in regard to the make, num ber of jewels, and kind of case will be decided this wreek. Besides giving watches for first place, second and third place men will receive silver and bronze medals, respectively as heretofore, attached to best pigskin leather with buckles to match the med'als. Souvenir medals, which allow the athletes entrance to the different events going on that week which they are here, were given last year for the first time to every contesting athlete. The medals were so unique and so well liked by the “prep” school boys that the board has de cided to continue this scheme and will award every entry on arrival at the cAmpus a souvenir medal, simi lar to the one used last year, only with a different shaped S. These medals are brass with German sil ver coating and bear'the inscription “Stanford Interscholastic 1914.” The housing facilities of the West ern Reserve Law School are doubled with the completion of the large ad dition to the law school building. More than 3,000 farmers of New York state are attending the seventh annual farmers’ week, held under the auspices of the College of Agri culture of Cornell University. In an effort to regulate “rushing” j by the various secret societies an in terfraternity council has been formed at the University of Vermont. Another attempt is being made at Bowdoin to limit the number of ex tra-o-T-ricular activities in which the individual student may participate. The plan includes the formation qf a limitations board whose duty it shall be to see that no undergraduate carries too heavy a program of “out side" affairs. 45 PER CENT HAVE COLLEGIATE PARENTS Princeton Freshmen Statistics Show Eighteen Is Av erage Age Princeton University, Feb. 23.— Eighty-four colleges and universities are represented by the parents of the students in' the present freshman j class at Princeton university this j year, but of its 430 members only | sixteen claim that both their parents | are college graduates. Figures were | today made public by the university [authorities which show that 238, or 55 per cent of the entering students, , have parents without college educa tion. The fathers of 129 freshmen graduated from college, and of this ; number forty-five claim Princeton as their Alma Mater. Fourteen boys j state that their mothers are entitled ! to wear the collegiate hoods. The average age of the class is slightly more than 18 years, the class birth day being August 13, 1895. The oc cupations of the fathers of the enter ing students range from that of po licemen to that of secretary of the United States treasury. In these f(g ures it is curious to note but one father is recorded as “teacher.” There are, however, eight “profes sors.” “Business” and “manufac turing,” of course, lead the list of oc cupations by a large margin, 140 fathers being registered under these heads. The other leading occupa tions are lawyers, 39; bankers, 30; physicians, 20; ministers, 19; rea1 estate, 19; broker, 11; insurance, 11; engineering, 10; publishers,' 10. Of the total number, 14 8 are engaged in professional work, 2 56 in some business field and 26 are either re tired or claim no occupation. In re 'igious preferences the freshmen are led by the Presbyterians, who num ber 155, the Episcopalians figuring as a close second with 131. The other leading figures are Catholic 36, Methodist 28, Congregational 17. CALIFORNIA PROFESSOR OBJECTS TO WOMAN’S DAY “Imposition on Men and Imper tinence to Women,” Says Herbert Cory Berkeley, Cal., Feb. 25.—In to day’s issue of Brass Tacks, the col lege weekly, the practice of observ ing woman’s day at the University of California is attacked1 by Dr. Herbert E. Cory, of the department of Eng lish. He says woman’s day tends to hark back to the “mid-victorian” and “chivalric” conception and treat ment of women. “Woman’s day has always im pressed me as an imposition on the men and a gross impertinence to the women. “Romantic love—real romantic love that does not fear the present of the intellectual and the rational, that can idealize not only in the eve ning salon, but cn the morning after at the breakfast table—real roman tic love, which is the only love worth the name, scorns equally that form of pseudo-idealism called sentiment and that form of purblind ignorance known as com monsense,” is Dr. Cory’s statement.

The conference will have for Its principal object the drafting and enforcing of rules in regard to the “rushing” of Freshmen by the fraternities. As a result of the 'demand of over 4,000 students, Illinois may erect a new library. Coupons and tags redeemed at Obak’s. Cecil Beardsley, a Senior la the University of Kansas, was killed and six other students slightly injured Saturday night while coasting, by the sled dashing against the wheel of a cab.
