THE HIGHER ENGLISH.
In this Issue of tne Emerald its
printed a letter from Mr. W. L. Whit
tlesey ,a graduate of the University
of Oregon In 1901, who names him
self as the author of an editorial ap
pearing In Collier's Weekly, which
under the caption, “The Higher Eng
lish, ” advised that the Emerald be
taken In hand by the journalistic
members of the faculty and "polish
ed.”
The followng extract is taken
from Mr. Whlttlessey's letter: “Dur
ing my four college years, 1 worked
on the Oregon Monthly (now extinct)
and alBO wrote for the Oregon Week
ly (later branded 'Emerald'). We
ran our own papers, BUT we read
proof and supervised the copy and
•did the work.”
Waiving the fact that Mr. Whittle
sey so forgot his loyalty to his Alma
Mater as deliberately to knock her
In a publication having a nation wide
circulation let us see if the Oregon j
Weekly of former times, with which
Mr. Whittlesey was connected, L
really as far ahead of the Emerald
of the present date, as might be In
ferred from his communication.
In the first place, Mr. Whittlesey
was graduated from the University
(did not ‘graduate,’ as appears in his
letter) in 1901, tho year in which
the Weekly made its initial appear
ance. Hence It is to be gathered
that Mr. Whittlesey wrote for this
Weekly either as an alumnus or as a
senior In the University.
In No. Ill, Vol. I, of the Weekly,
Is found the following on indoor
baseball: "There is yet another rea
son for its popularity among college
men and thnt la its fitting In so nice
ly between football and track ath
letics, thus affording an excellent and
Interesting exercise for athletes dur
Ing the winter months and puts them
ou the truck In the spring with mus
cle* In a working condition." Note
the construction.
In the next issue Joaquin Miller is
mentioned as follows: “He is
straight and so proportioned as to
give the Impression of being tall."
Later on in the same story, the poet
of the Sierras is spok m of as mani
festing certain "exeentrldties." On
the same page, the name Stanton is
listed also as Stauton in one story,
while on the editorial page, careless
reading is spoken of as "a blithiug
curse to the mind." Possibly "blight
ing” was intended, as a perusal of
the pages of Webster gives no hint
as to the meaning of "blithlng.'’
On another page of this same Is
sue, Kipling's poem "Fuzzy Wuzzy"
la designated as "Tuzzy Wrlzzy," and
- 11
.n another portion of the same idiue,
>vhich Is, by the way, something like
naif the size of the present Emerald,
it is stated that “a definite agree*
ment will probablyobe made with U.
of W., whereby the U. of O. men will
contest with them each»year In either
Seattle, Eugene or Portland.’’
olt is evident from this array, that
..he Weekly of Mr. Whittlesey’s day,
is at least not an ideal of the “high
er English,’’ toward which the Em
erald should aim. The college Jour
nalists of that time apparently en
countered much the same difficul
ties and had the same human defects,
if which the results may be noted
.rom time to time in the present gen
eration.
The Emerald Is strictly a college
publication, run by amateurs in the
newspaper game, and not by mem
lers of the faculty, as Mr. Whittle
sey seems to believe. There is much
hat the Emerald staff does not
enow in the journalistic line, and
lelpful suggestions are always grate
ully received. But there is one thing
o which it is not necessary to call
he attention of the staff members,
nd that is that errors in proof oc
casionally slip past, and are not an
>rnament to the paper.
Typographical errors, or mistakes
.vhieh elude the men at the copy
lesk are common on every newspa
>er. The Emerald has its share, but
believes that it will at least compare
favorably with the Weekly of thir
teen years ago.
THIS MEANS YOU.
How many of you ever stopped to
think how much It costs to put out
the Emerald? Do you think that
lmt little dollar pays the entire cost
of publication? Well, you have an
other guess coining. The advertis
ing pays for the paper, and the Eu
gene merchants (a few of them) pay
for the advertising. Hence, the
merchants pay for your paper. You
say, of course, that they make money
by it, because they get a great deal
of business from the students. All
well and good, but do you think that
ho merchants that advertise are the
only ones that do get the business?
A little Investigation will show that
many students patronize not only our
advertisers, but all alike. Is this
lust to the man who pays out from
two to twenty-five or thirty dollars
per month for advertising? Why not
patronize those who help us? It will
cost you no more, and will help stu
dent, activities In many ways. This
is one way in which all of the stu
dents can show the much-vaunted
"Oregon Spirit.’’ Let’s see more of
it.
Soon we will publish a list of our
advertisers, and we trust that they
hall receive the proper support.

To the Editor:—Since the Univer
il.v girls can use the swimming tank
but once a week, is there any good
reason why they should not get full
time on that one precious day? It
is undeniably dangerous for girls,
most of them unable to swim well
enough to be alone in the tank and
M't Monday after Monday the direc
tor appears about an hour late or
leaves early making it necessary for
tirls with afternoon classes to sacri
fice lie swim or risk it without a
anil to watch them.
The old adage about the stitch in
ime might well be applied and a Ut
ile precaution taken before It Is too
ate. Often there are 20 to 30 girls
in at once with but one director in
tie room and she is in citizens'
clothes and busily engaged giving a
. son. Now maybe she could suc
> ■ nil.' rescue a drowning girl at
:lie other end (provided she noticed
n r sink l and maybe not but why
rakc any unnecessary chances?
Cnee a week is scant opportunity
to really learn much about this art
s“ desirable for life, health and hap
piness on or about the mill race. It
s impossible to keep girls off the
nice who can't swim but since we
now have a tank there should he few
er girls who can't swim making the
e\. use that they can't get enough
In .ruction to do them any good.
In ease l have wondered rouud
and missed the point, let me repeat.
l et the swimming tank be open
Mondays from t> sharp till 12. from
130 sharp till 5:30 with au ln
structor on hand, two of them during
the rush hours.
