These new students, and especially the Freshmen, will have a compara tively quiet and unostentatious initi ation into college life. They come to us at a time when student spirit and student activities are at their low ebb of the year. They will miss the salutary effects of the underclass mix and the more rigorous discipline which is enforced in the fall. There be campus Platos and Aris totles who aver that to enter at mid year is likely to blight a student’s whole college course; that, coming be twixt and between, as he does, he is a misfit ,a man without a cjass, and that there is danger that he will never get into right relationship with his studies and activities. We refuse to accept this application of predestination, or to believe that the guileless Frosh who sets forth upon the hazardous quest of knowl edge at this time is foreordained to be damned. We confidently look forward to seeing the preseent neophytes pro vide a refutation. ° 0 Therefore we urge them to fall into tho procession gracefully and incon spicuously, as becomes all the good orthodox Freshmen, observing care fully the step and bearing of the older pilgrims. The campus traditions are to be conned and observed, upper classmen are to be obeyed, the green cap is to be worn, and all the other laws governing Freshmen are to be observed as religiously now as last fall or next spring. And, what is more to the point, the February, 1919, class to meet, as problems in cauculus and baseball, for outside tho classroom, Just as big are just as big opportunities in and ever faced an entering class at Ore gon. AND A FAREWELL Having performed the pleasant du ty of welcoming the newcomers, it now becomes our painful office to bid adieu to the oldtimers—some of them, at least. We refer to those hapless students who failed to pick the right courses, or neglected to impress their instructors with their -the instructors' —virtues and excellences, or squan dered their time in student activities, or tried to work their way through college, or through other false step, is plunged to destruction. Although the final list of the ostra cised has not yet been announced, nor the last petition passed upon by the faculty, it is evident that the number of Hunkers at the end of the past se mester will very nearly equal the num her at this time last year. In other words, thirty or so stu dents, young men and women who hat sufficient ability to meet the require ments for entrance into the Univer 1 sity and sufficient ambition to seel higher edutation—young men and wo men, most of them, just as studious just as earnest, just as deserving o: that education as we whq were lucky will be turned out of thie University on the pretext of their failure t< “make” a certain number of hours. We make this statement concern ing the average capacity and sincer ity of the exiles because we know il to be true. With the great majority of students—excluding the geniuses on the one hand and the dunces or the other—college is largely a gam ble, a matter of luck. We pointec out in our swan song just before ex aminations how potent is this ele ment of luck in the “exams”—&nd il is just as potent at every other stag; of the work. No, there is no system of grading which separates the sheep from the goats—the fit from the un fit. A fid even if there were, why banish the goats? Why deny any man the right to seek an education, if he de sires it? Even supposing that he be inclined to stupidity or idleness—but aSlmming at the same time that a higher education does possess the in calculable value we claim for it—then why should he not be allowed to glean what benefits he can or will from it? It would seem that the flunker is the veery man to whom the college should minister, since his intellectual need is presumably greatest. But at the end of every semester the farce is repeated. And why ? Be j cause someone a few years ago de | cided that the standard of scholarship at this institution must be raised, and therefore that the sacrificial altar must be heaped higher with victims. Perhaps the standard has been raised —the difficulty of “passing” has been increased, at any rate, although we are not so sure that this signifies an advance in scholarship. But has the closing of the doors of college to cer tain students contributed in the slight est to this end? No, the real purpose of the annual farce is propitiatory. It is a hocds pocus practiced on the public to es tablish our reputation for exalted scholarship. It wins the approbation of a certain class of “educators” to acquaint them with the fact that the University of Oregon “flunks” a large percentage of its students out of col lege. NNOUNCEMENT A laboratory course is being in troduced into the Accounting Prin ciples class, by Professor Don Sowers, of the Commerce Depart ment.
