AT LAST
After a lull of three months, the
storm of protest against the cumula
tive cut rule breaks out anew—this
time in the Student Council, the body
which eventually must crystallize stu
dent sentiment and present it to the
faculty, if it is to be presented at all.
Students who have been wondering
what has become of the question, and
whether it would be allowed to lie
dormant in the Student Body con
sciousness after the period of active
agitation last January, will be glad
to hear of the Council’s move. It has
called a special meeting for next
Wednesday evening, which will be con
ducted as an open forum, before which
every student is urged to air his views.
The purpose of the Council is to
obtain an amalgam of the opinion of
the various critics of the present sys
tem, and therefrom to decide upon a
method of procedure against it.
If you are one of those w'no believe
it is unfair and unnecessary for the
University to take from you or your
fellow-students the credits it has pre
viously granted you in return for cer
tain work performed, to punish you
for cutting classes ami to menace you
into cutting no more—if you are one
who indited communication to the Em
erald or otherwise participated in the
late discussion of the system -then
this means YOU. “Now is the time
for all good men to come to the aid
of their party.”
Should next Wednesday’s meeting
result in an organized protest, then it
will bring squarely to an issue the
question of the attitude of the faculty
toward the Student Council, and the
consideration the Student Body may
expect through this, their representa
tive body.
The faculty answered the prelim
inary agitation against the cumulative
cut system by meeting and offering
up still more incense upon the same
alter. With a temperate and respect
ful, but earnest protest on the part of
all the students have any effect in
shaking the faith of the system's vo
taries ?
WHAT LOWELL SAID
Harvard students and all American
college students, for that matter have
cause for pride in the action of Pres
ident Lowell in defending the Ameri
can right of free speech as applied
to college journalism, even at the cost
of incurring the enmity of foreign
savants.
The two following extracts from to
day’s newsare sef-explanatory:
Cambridge, Mass., Apr. 28—A.
Lawrence Lowell, President of Har
vard University, made public today
his reply to the letter addressed to
him by Professor Kuno Meyer, of
the University of Berlin, in which
the latter protested against the pub
lication by a Harvard student paper
of a poem entitled: “Gott Mit llns.”
Dr. Lowell disclaims for the Univer
sity authorities any responsibility for
the verses, and says Harvard’s policy
of freedom of speech will be pre
served. His letter follows:
“Cambridge, Mass., April 27—My
dear Professor Meyer: Your letter
has come, and I am grieved at the
feeling of irritation against Harvard
that it shows. The poem and prize
to which you refer, I had never heard
of until your letter came.
“As you are aware, the freedom of
speech of neither the professor nor
the students of an American univer
sity is limited, nor are they them
selves subject in their utterances to
the direction of the authorities. This
policy of freedom of speech we shall
continue to pursue, for we believe ;t
to be the only one which accords with
the principle of academic freedom.
I hope the time will come when you
and your colleagues in Germany will
recognize that this course is the only
right one.”
The poem, which was anti-German
in vein, was written in competition
and the author received a prize. The
judges were two professors of the
un.\ ersity.
New York, April 28—Professor Ku
no Meyer, of the University of Ber
lin, announces in a letter to the
Times today that he has resigned his
candidacy as exchange professor at
Harvard University because of an
anti-German poem, entitled: “Gott
Mit Uns,” printed in one of the stu
dent publications.
Professor Meyer announces he sent
his resignation to President A. Law
rence Lowell, of Harvard, informing
him he considers the poem the crown
ing incident of a series of acts from
Harvard offensive to the Germans,
and that he endorses “the hope ex
pressed by my brother, an honorary
graduate of your university, that no
German will again be found to ac
cept the post of exchange professor
■ at Harvard.”

Althoumh tho Eumene receiver
howled with dismay when he found
he was to catch Bill Tuerck and John
nie Beckett in the himh school mame
Tuesday, he held them up well, and
the two gunners whiffed several of
their teammates while in the prep
pers’ lineup.
'* *
Oscar Noren, Freshman tennis
champion, is showinm a marked im
provement in his marne lately and
seems to be putting up an exception
ally strong race for the Varsity three.
* *
Strains and sprains are playing
the same role in injuring Oregon's
chances in spring athletics that
mumps did in football. Clarridge and
the “Skeeter" are still hitching around
watching their respective squads with
a sort of wistful look.
* Hi
Lewis Bond will soon leave school
to commence work on a survey. This
will materially injure Oregon’s ten
nis prospects.

While Sam Cook’s 48 ft. 5 in. put
last Saturday did not break a cam
pus record, no Oregon man since 1007
has pushed the sixteener farther. In
the good old days eight years ago
Oregon had three men, llug. McKin
ney and Zaeharias, who could do bet
ter. Zaeharias was good for 40 feet.
* *
“Bill” Hayward is about as uncom
municative as a statue. The other
day after “Mose” got through running
a two-mile, someone asked, “What
time. Bill?”
“About a quarter of five,” came
the reply.

Some of the faculty players were
sadly handicapped in their recent dis
astrous session with the Si pm a Ohis.
Doctor Bennett had. a sore wrist, Dv
ment a soccer suit, and worse yet,
"Bex" had a reputation.
* *
Zeb Terry, Stanford’s rival to
"Skeet” Bigbee, jumped into profes
sional ball this spring and is now hat.
ting around .300 as regular shortstop
for Hen Berry’s "Angel’’ crew in the
Coast League.
* *
Clarridge was out in his spikes
Wednesday, but did not venture to
work even at a dog trot.
* *
Harold I'eet, a former resident of
tKe University of Oregon and for sev
eral seasons member of the Varsity
nine, is now eating at the board of
Marse Russ Hall, commander of the
Tacoma Tigers, and made his debut
into Northwestern League circles
with a four hit victory over the Se
attle Giants.
a *
“Butch” Byler, who used to star up
Dobie’s way as the regular Washing- j
ton backstop, is now turning out daily i
with McCredie’s 1914 champs, but has
slight chance to land as a regular
with two .300 catchers enrolled.
* *
Byron Houck, another man who
used to have his mail sent to the Uni
versity City, and who also wore an
Oregon uniform, now wears the colors i
of the Brookfeds since being sent on |
his way by the second Solomon—Con-;
nie Mack—with whom he first took
up big league work.
* *
Dode Brinker, erstwhile Washing
ton’s Blackstone, is now field cap
tain of the twice champion Vancou
ver Beavers and is upholding the hon
or of his profession by hitting the pill
at a .280 clip.
* *
Don Rader, another of Oregon’s il
lustrious diamond stars, is at present
holding down the utility role for Hap
Hogan’s Venice Tigers, but has little
chance to show with Berger, the for
mer White Sox, on the field.
* *
Jacques Fornier, former Whitworth
College star, now plays a regular gar
den spot for the White Sox and is
leading off with a stick average that
bids fair to eclipse his 1914 record
of .311.
