ALL HONOR TO HENRY VILLARD.
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.

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.”

Horrors! 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?
THERE WAS “OYER-ORGANIZA
TION
IN THE CLUBS OF FACULTY!”
