GIVE AND TAKE.
The preliminary step toward the
formation of a Pan-Hellenic League
for the men's fraternities at Oregon
has been taken, and now It only rests
with the fraternities themselves to
see to It that the whole thing does
not fall through, but, insead, is made
an Important and useful part of the
Oregon University system.
In drawing up the rules to govern
such an organization there Is bound
to be more or less friction. Each
fraternity or club represented will
have Its own Ideals and Ideas as to
how tilings should be run, which
will clash In minor details with the
ideas held by some of the others.
And there Is likely to be a certain
amount of justice backing the con
tentious of each.
Uut such differences must not be
allowed to stand In the way of per
manent organization. They will not
imment organization. They will
be Important in character, and a step
which lias in^Hr so much latent good
for the University, as well as for
the fraternities themselves, must not
be halted by any petty disagree
ments.
A policy of give and take should
be followed. Each fraternity will
find that, in all probability, it will
he compelled to give in in certain
tilings. And with the amicable rela
tions existing in the fraternity world
at Oregon, there can be hardly anw
doubt that this policy will be fol
lowed, and that in the near future
Oregon will be classed among the
colleges and universities of the coun
try in which tlie need for organized
fraternity self-regulation, and the
benefits accruing from such a course
have been recognized,
A good class hour is a rare thing,
one of the rarest on the campus, but
yesterday the University was treat
ed to one which was really worth
attending. The sophomores are to
be commended on the excellence of
their program, and the rest of the
students are to be commended for
the excellence of their behavior dur
ing the course of the program. Col
lege spirit may be as well expressed
through gentlemanly approval, as
through boisterous condemnation.

Editor Oregon Emerald:
Please permit me to comment
briefly upon your reporter’s account
of my attitude toward senior theses,
as given In a recent issue of the Em
ald.
The Information which I intended
to convey to your reporter was, that
within the department of education,
ordinarily, the senior student has not
had sufficient preliminary prepara
tion to undertake independent the
sis work meriting separate credit on
a B. A. degree. The preparation of
special papers, reports and records
of investigations is therefore of most
worth when made in connection with
a regularly organized course, within
the scope of which it receives due
credit.
Respectfully yours,
FRED C. AYER.

GRADE SCHOOL AT HARVARD
Complete Preparatory Department
Will Be Demonstration School.
The Department of Education of
Harvard plans to start next fall a
model school for the children of Cam
bridge and vicinity, which shall serve
as a demonstration school for the
students in this department.
The school is to begin as a kinder
garten, but a new grade is to be add
ed each year until the curriculum
provides a full education up to col
lege-entrance age.
it will not be in any sense a prac
tice school for the students of the
education department; the teachers
will be the best that can be secured,
men and women thoroughly trained
in their work.
The Princeton Chapter of l'hi
Meta Kappa has recently elected to
membership 24 members of the Se
nior Class, constituting the highest
twelfth of the class in scholarship.
The Minnesota legislature set aside
$17,500 to be used in reconstructing
the old chemistry building, into a
building suitable for the use of the
Men’s P a ton. The new building
will contain the usual recreation
rooms, and will Include a small am
phitheater to be used in rehearsing
University dramatic productions.
Literary societies and inter-fraterni
ty clubs will assist in furnishing the
rooms.

ulty for the degree of Bachelor of

sense \echuical, but will test the
