A petition, having as its object the doing away with the senior custom of wearing caps and gowns during tho latter part of the second semes ter, and during Commencement week has for the past four days been circulated among the members of the class of 1914, and It Is reported that the attempt to break away from tra dition Is meeting with considerable success among the senior men. The women, accustomed to garments ap proximating the gown, and finding the cap rather becoming, are not backing tho movement. The enemies of the customary form of Commencement attire aver that It Is a relic of barbarism, n wasteful expenditure of money, and a custom that Is useless and unneces sary. As to the cap and gown being a relic of barbarism, It may be true that the custom originated In barbar ous times, but this of Itself does not necessarily mean that the custom Is not in perfect keeping at the present time. The monetary expenditure In volved would be slight in purchasing or renting of robes, while there Is much to be said as to the usefulness attendant on the wearing of the cap and gown. It Is In the first place, a privilege which is granted only to the mem bers of the senior class, and which should be appreciated as a distinc tion which has decided advantages. There Is little to distinguish those being graduated, during the Com mencement exercises, from the host of visitors always present at that time, unless It Is the robe which the senior Is allowed to wear as the sign that he or she Is eligible to receive itie first University degree. Hut apart from this, Is a leas tan gible. though more powerful consid eration. There Is tn human nature, a something which never falls to re spond to ttie suggestion of solem nity. a something which thrills as the black robed figures move slowly down the aisle, and silently take their places in the flower decorated assembly hall. It ts this response to the emotional appeal of the Commencement exer cises that make such tilings really worth while, it is for this that the old grads come back year after year, for the final week of school. It may be said that this Is part of the Com mencement spirit, but who Is compe tent to venture an opinion as to how much this spirit owes to the tradi tional graduation setting? Possibly there will be a majority of the seniors who sincerely believe that a change of the kind asked would be for the best. If such a change is necessary to make happier their last days at Oregon, It should be considered, but It should be most thoroughly considered before steps are taken to abolish the cap and gown. There were 14 less medical schools In the United States in 1913 than in 1912, about 1,200 fewer students, and about 500 fewer graduates. Agitation for a gymnasium capable of accommodating a great number of men is being carried on at Harvard. Their present gym has a capacity of 200 men a day, which, compared with the size of the equipment at other universities, is considered in' adequate, Forty-five per cent of the students of Princeton University have par ents who are graduates from colleges or universities. ooooooooooooooooooo o o ► o SOCIETY o o - o o By Beatrice Lilly. o ooooooooooooooooooo About seventy-five couples, wear ing costumes representing everything from clowns to Puritan maids, were at the Junior Informal masque given at the men’s gym on Friday evening.

The steam is distributed through six inch mains. The mains are run through tiles, and the space between is packed with asbestos. But even this precaution does not eliminate the extensive loss of heat, The steam after oopdensing, returns to the power house through a three inch gravity main, When the swimming pool Is filled, the fresh water is run through a coil surrounded by hot steam. The temperature is regulated by the amount of steam surrounding the heating coil. The improvements to be made this summer include a partial over hauling of the present heating plant, with a substitution of a suction re turn of the hot water, for the grav ity system now in use. By this change and* other minor improve ments, it is expected that the effi ciency of the plant will be materially improved next year. CHURCH DIRECTORY. Cdhgregational Church—A. M.
