HUMOlt.
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.
