BUSINESS MANAGER Phone Editor 665. GEORGE T. COLTON ...Phone Manager 4S1 Leland Hendricks was a man. In the University he established a precedent for work and ability that he maintained when out. True to this precedent, he climb ed rapidly into the high lights of journalism and at the time of his untimely death was managing ed itor of the Oregon I>uily States man, of Salem. Leland Henricks was honest. In his capacity of moulding dent opinion when editor of the Oregon Emerald in 11(14-1 5 he secured the confidence of all. He played no one false. He made sure of his ground before he tread. But having made sure he did not hesitate. Leland Hendricks was a mu tual friepd. It was in the capacity of editor of the Emerald thnt he once wrote an editorial under the .cap tion "Do You Know Him?” He wrote that because he was a mutual friend It was about the chap in school who was a “no body” in the light of “Who’s Who.” It was about the chap who works and works hard, never complaining, always aspir ing, cheerful and sunny, and yet whose merits go unrewarded. We bow our heads in reverent memory to Leland G. Hendricks. I With a course ns clearly Hcfined ns meteor flushing across the sky, the Emer-I aid emlmrks with this issue upon its i mission to the student body of the Uni-, versify of Oregon, to the faculty, to the' i alumni and to the friends. : We know what is expected of us. Each7 one expects something just a little dif ferent. We shall boil these individual, opinions down, simmer a bit more, add what we expect and then if the staff. does not prove too balky give what we. I shall credit to the best of our ability. ■ Not only as a disseminator of news but ns a forum of opinion is the Emerald published a needed organ. The staff will furnish the news. But columns will be kept open for the opinions of all. Criticism, if not vindicative, is essen-® tial to well-being. All letters are wel come—if signed. The writer’s name need not be published but it must be known to the editor. Editorially the Emerald will remain to be seen. Talk is cheap. Freshmen you have the biggest class in the history of the university. That’s not saying you have the most class, for that remains to be seen. Hide not your light under a bushel lost your good works go unrecommended to your sophomore, junior and senior years. You are welcome! A ou will be welcomed some more. But that is to teach you loyalty and Oregon spirit. You will find friends at Oregon—lots of ’em. You will find work to do—lots of it. And above all you have responsibility. Responsibility that fundamentally, that right at the very beginning means a name for this university you have chosen to hr your alma mater. For just as you treat your own standing in this univer sity and just as you conduct yourself through the four years you are to he here so will the standing of the univer sity be. But don't he burdened by this ——--_____ I I -- ' AS REGARDS THE EMERALD The stuff of the Emerald is not limited to numbers. But it is limited to ability. To anyone who has journalistic ambitions and wishes to become associated with Emerald work see either the editor, managing edi tor or the city editor. To the new members of the staff a few suggestions: 1. —By all means typewrite your copy. 2. —Write on one side of a sheet only. 3. —Hand your copy in EARLY. There is a box in the Emerald room in the basement of McClure hall. 4. —Cover your news thoroughly. If your “nose” is good you will scent more than you go after. If you do not have time to cover this your self tell the City Editor about it— phone 060. thought. Now get it out of your system and show a little “pep.” There are activities for you to get in to. That means you have got to work up. Be a servant—not a slave—today, and a trained master tomorrow. The trained masters are in the junior and senior classes. But don’t wait until you are a junior or senior before you try to be a master. It can't be done. All right freshmen a good mitt shake —and lots of luck.

AYER PUBLISHES BOOK “The Psychology of Drawing" Deals With Subject of Children's Drawings. Hr. F. C. Ayer, of the educational department, has recently published a book "The Psychology of Drawing,” dealing with the subject of children’s lira wings. The theme of the book is that analyti cal drawing is the end to be sought in all scientific studies. Dr. Ayre advances tin idea that ability to draw well, in •be sense of making attractive sketch (s, is in no way correlated with the ability to understand and describe the object studied, and therefore is no guar anty of cleak- recognition of objects. Ac cording to Dr. Ayer, a pupil may make a sketch which, from the artist’s point of view is rough and irregular, but which, in that it exhibits the relations truly and t'lhows an insight into th - characteristics of the objects pictured, will be of more value to him as a stud ent of science than anything which may accompany the production of an attrac tive looking sketch.
