The gift to the University of the pic ture of Mrs. Henry Villard re-opens the pages of history. A retrospect of the formative period shows how much the University owes to n great man of the pnst and how very little we students of this generation reve.-e in onr traditions those who have made possible the institu tion that is our chosen Alma Muter. In August of 1881, a copy of the “Ore gonian” fell into the hands of Henry Vil lard in New York city. In the columns of this paper was a statement, of the fin ancial status of the University; an in debtedness that had to be paid at once or the only building sold to satisfy a lien. Mr. Villard immediately tele graphed a query ns to the amount and ascertaining it placed money at the dis posal of the regents. In 1000 death took this great friend of the University. As president of the Northern Pacific railroad he had led an extremely active life. Memorial ser vices were held at the University in his honor, and it was on this occasion that K. O. Potter, an alumnus of 1887, rend a tribute. In part Mr. Potter said: “The indebtedness having been paid, the feeling of gloom that had formerly prevailed had given place to one of joy and hope tr> Mr. Villard, and there was an eagerness for an opportunity to ex press this gratitude. ♦ * * On his arrival he was met at the depot by a committee. The public schools were dis missed for the day and the pupils joined with the students of the university in forming a double column with open ranks from the steps at the west side of the campus to the college building. Iie tween these two columns of grateful students who bared their heads and bowed their welcome ns he passed, Mr. Villard was escorted to the auditorium, which was then on the third floor of Heady hall. * * *. “He asked to see the University’s library, and was told there was none. This seemed to make a deep impression upon him. The result of this impression will be seen in the following which I quote from the catalogue of the Univer sity for th • year 1881-2: ‘Mr. Villard has also given $1000 in hooks for the library. This makes Mr. Villard's donation for the year $11,010.’ From the catalogue of the following year I make the follow ing quotation: “Through the generos ity of Mr. Villard, president of the N. P. It. It. Co., who has shown himself a ; staunch friend of higher education, the [ permanent endowmen fund of the l ni- | versify has been increased by $.>0,000. j • • • • “Henry Villard, our tribute to your memory is the pledge; that this insti tution so nobly assisted by you in its ex tremity, shall never lack the hearty sup port and fostering care that are within our means to extend: that the character THE RAINBOW ORCHESTRA Formally Bunpralow Orches tra will play at the Rainbow Every Night of our lives shall be sucL as to comport with the high ideals expressed in the mo tive of jour gift; th it good citizenship, a tireless activity and a tolerant but per sistent struggle to ascertain and lay bare the facts and purposes of individual and social existence, shall mark the course of our lives.” And to this tribute the Emerald as the representative of the student body of 1916-17 heartily subscribes itself. REFERRING OF PETITIONS. The petitions for the re-instatement of intercollegiate basketball and re-cast ing of the social rules came before the regular October meeting of the faculty ns new business. To follow regular business procedure thepe petitions were referred to committees who will report at the November meeting. This referring of the petitions to com mittees works no harm. The conference basketball schedules are not made up until December and action will have been taken by the faculty before that time. A student body dance is scheduled for tonight nnd there will be another Novem ber 4th, :o no harm comes in the social rules question laying over. The merits of both these petitions will insure favorable action at the proper time. SOPH PRESIDENT TAKEN Freshmen Abduct Prexy Atkinson, Take Him to House in Foothills. In defiance of all traditions and in pursuance of what were probably some transplanted "prep" school ideas, the freshmen abducted the sophmore presi dent Thursday night. Hut the joy of the class of 1920 was short lived, for within two hours from the time Prexy Atkinson left his warn covers at the Delta Tun house, he was safely back in the arms of the sophomore class. Jitneys were at a premium surpassed only during fair times and the days of the Hound-up. Six carloads of sopho mores took up the trail while the dust still hung in the air behind the “frosh" automobile. Out into the foot hills to the south east of Eugene the fugitives sped, and if reports are to be credited, several freshmen spent the night under the stars in meditation. The rescue consisted in several auto loads of sophomores driving to the house where Atkinson was being watched by a lone freshman. The return was joy ous, but "frosh” were scarce. Yea, very scarce. ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ ALPHA KAPPA PSI ♦ ♦ Elects ♦ ♦ SHY HUNTINGTON ♦ ♦ KENNETH RAHTI.ETT ♦ ♦ CHARLES DUNDORE ♦ li is far bettor to COOK WITH GAS Than to gas with the Cook Phone 28 OREGON POWER CO TRIPS FORGLEE MS Plans for Yearly Tours Are Nearing Completion. Men’s Club Will Visit Coos Bay Country; Women, South ern Oregon. Plans will now bp made very rapidly for the yearly trips of both the men’s and the women’s glee clubs. The personnel of the men's club has now been deter mined and work on the program has been started. As far as Professor Lyman knows at present, the men will take their trip either the week before Christinas or the week following. He hopes they will visit Coos Bay county this year for the quartet met with success when they visit ed that part of the state a year ago last spring. The girl's trip will last at least an en tire week this year and will likely be taken in Southern Oregon. Professor Lyman hopes to take the club as far south as Medford and visit only the largest of the southern Oregon cities. The Vesper choir has already started practices. Vespers will be held the second Sunday of each month beginning this next Sunday and several musical numbers have been arranged for this first Vesper service. Professor Lyman [ilnns to repeat several of the selec tions which were successful last year besides working up many new things during the winter. The following men have qualified for the men’s club this year: Ilolsman, Phipps, Madden, Morrison, Edwards, Weinheimer, Vawter, Bond, Burns, Folts, Peterson, Mills, Boss, Ral ston, Seaerce, Moore, Vance, Black, Dolph, Rowe, White, Beach, Kennon. 200 AT LEAGUE MEETING Program Discussed. $100 Pledged To ward Erection of Women's Building. Two hundred University women were present at the meeting of the Woman’s League held at Vitlard hall on Tues day afternoon. Jeannette Wheatley, president of the league, opened the meeting by introducing Miss Elizabeth Eox, dean of women, who gave a talk on till- meeting of Women’s Federation of clubs to be held at Seaside, October 0 to 12. Miss Wheatly was elected to represent the League at the meeting of these clubs. One hundred dollars was pledged by the association toward the erectio" of the new Women’s building. A Wom en’s League program was discussed, but no definite action taken. Announcement of this will lie made later. Miss Mar.v Watson, instructor in Eng lish literature, made an address in pre senting a picture of Mrs. Fanny Garri son Villnrd. A vote of thanks was given Mrs. Villnrd for her presentation of this picture to the women of the University. Miss Wheatley considers the meeting a very promising indication of League activity for this year. "It’s a good idea to bottle up your wrath.’’ “A corking good idea.” EASTWARD Three Tickets —Via Spokane and Inland Empire. —Grand Canyon of Colum- \ bia. \ •—or, California.

Profs. Overorganized Adrienne Epping Upon our college campus In the Springy month of May, Our professors raised a rumpus, And had a lot to say— On “over-organization,” And, oh, many, many things; They put ’em on probation And hoped they’d all take wings. They called the student council And they made a declaration: “Whatever clubs you bounce’ll Make greater concentration.” Each trembled for his hobbies, Would his society fall? Aloof from all these bogeys The faculty watched the squall. Their smugness—well, it roiled us, But, ashamed, we did our best, Our foibles nearly foiled us Yet we gave our clubs a rest. Now listen! Here's what happened, ’Twas only yesterday, A faculty somewhat saddened In Schafer’s room held sway. Could they have an arbitration, And could some adjustment be?
