Under the caption, "Economy and Simplicity,” the Telegram prints the following editorial: "Rumor says that the upper class students of the State University are bent on creating among the Student Body of that institulon an atmos phere of simplicity and economy. We are not prepared to say how serious ly this disposition is made manifest, but the fact that it is bruited abroad is encouraging, and' leads to the hope among those who have pride in Ore gon institutions that it is genuine, and that the fruit of it may become evident. “Dress and social usage are the points of attack, the one concerning the formal functions of the Universi ty, and the other those social events which heighten the delights of Uni versity living. In this respect, the ! cree, as rumor has it, sounds Yather puritanical. For the fair sex at so cial functions there is to be no flow ers and taxicabs. Gallantry is to con sult the student pocketbook, and that is not at all a bad idea, as it tends to lessen the embarrassment of the stu dent with the lean purse. Moreover, it seems to us that it should help to the fuller appreciation of manliness by the fair ones. "Concerning the matter of func tional dress robes and mortar boards, and all that sort of thing— it cannot be held as other than flum mery, and while indulgence in it may add a certain sense of dignity, there is no reason why decent, every day attire should not answer every purpose, and denote more clearly that democracy holds its own in the process of education, just as it ought to do. "When the student stands equipped for his life work the cap and gown do not add anything to the occasion. He wears them be cause they have come to him with other school traditions, based on conditions in which democracy was unknown. lie can dispense with them without any loss of dignity.” The Telegram is right hi one respect at least, when it states as” a “rumor, that the upperclassmen of the.,Uni versity are bent on creating an at mosphere of economy and simplicity among the Student-Body. The up perclassmen are not bent on creating this atmosphere it is already creat ed. The aetiou which has been tak en, condemning the use of flowers and carriages at Uuiversity dances, is merely to be taken as maintaining and furthering the simplicity aud de mocracy already prevalent at the University. The arguments in favor of the step taken are well known, and need but little discussion. The fact that a large majority of the students live within such easy walking distance of the University as to make carriages practically useless except for show, and the fact that the manifested ability of the comparative few to pur chase cut flowers for their partners only serves to draw the line of social demarcation between the student well off in a financial way and the man who is working his way through college, are in themselves sufficient to warrant the stand taken by the upperclassmen. As to the wearing of the cap and gown, the Telegram chooses to dis card any sentimental reasons in fa vor of the continuance of this cus tom, but fails to take notice of the fact that the woman student of av erage means will find it much easier to rent her graduation costume for the sum of $2.50 than to compete with her wealthier classmate in the purchase of commencement dresses. If the men and women of the Uni versity stand by the old custom of wearing the cap and gown, they will merely be adhering to their estab lished policy of democracy and of economy in so far as it tends to do iway with democracy-destroying dis play for the few and will be really following the sensible and democrat ic doctrine laid down by the great Portland daily. PHI BETA KAPPA APRIL 29 Honorary Fraternity Will Be in stalled at Washington. University of Washington—April 2 9 has heen set for the installation of the University of Washington Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. Ed ward A. Dirge, Dean of the College of 'Letters and' Science in the Univer sity of Wisconsin, vice-president of the united chapters of Phi Beta Kap pa, will have charge of the installa tion. The ceremony will take place at the faculty clubhouse. All members of Phi Beta Kappa residing in Seattle or vicinity, who wish to participate in the ceremonies and banquet on the evening of April 2 9, are requested by the committee in charge to send in their names at once to Prof. Allen R. Benham of the English Department. The date for the election of of ficers has not yet been determined. Pile new members will not be an nounced later. STUDENTS WANT HAZING Ruling by Faculty at Washington Meets Disfavor. So many letters of protest have been received by the Regents, as well as by Dean Harry Landes, acting president of the University of Wash ington, that all forms of hazing at this University have been abolished. The faculty ruling to this effect is greeted with disapproval by the stu dents, and they have petitioned o be permitted to resume the kangaroo court, at least, and re-establish their law compelling the Freshmen to wear green caps. Even the Freshmen join in this petition. The students base their petition on an assertion that the metropolitan high schools in par ticular send siudi bold Freshmen to the University that some discipline is needed to keep the first-year men from running campus affairs to suit themselves. The faculty committee on student affairs is considering the petition. Hazing has not been preva lent to any greater extent nor more vicious at Washington than at other universities, but the parents of the hazed appear to have taken the mat ter more seriously than usually they do. A rare collection of Indian relics I Inn beeu presented to Harvard by ex Mayor Green of Boston ___ Whitman is without a baseball I i coach this year because the Student Body failed to elect.

The remainder Is for care of build ings, grounds, for the library and to the redemption fund.

The Canton Christian College, at Canton, China, was incorporated in 1893, and at present has a staff of 19 men and 15 women, all Ameri cans; 20 Chinese teachers and 15 student-teachers.
