Stoddard Assistants.Tula-Kinsley, Harold Newton, Earl Murphy and Harold Say COURAGE AND COURTESY. “Courage and courtesy are the elements of Oregon Spirit,” declared President Campbell at assembly Inst Wednesday. And this spirit is the snme on the day of a big game, but it is more intense. This means that today the whole stu dent body of the University is behind the Oregon team to beat Washington. The team has the courage to fight, and fight unrelentingly, und the rooters have the courage and the determination to drain their voices down to the rock bot tom of unintelligible hoarseness. We’re going to beat Dobie, but we are going to be courteous gentlemen and good sportsmen. The students of Oregon want every Washington visitor to know that he is welcome, that to him goes out all the hospitality and warm fellowship that col lege men can give. Our guests from the north will eat with us at the lunch eon on the campus and go to the Home coming dance in the evening. We want to be witli them, to know them better. Out on Kincaid field the rooters of the two Universities will be separated, and the heart’s desires of the two for the time will bo opposed. The ideals of the University of Wash ington anil the ideals of the University of Oregon are practically the same high American principles. Up there the stu dents take an oath of loyalty to their Alma Mater, here wo pledge allegiance to our state. It amount!; to the snme thing. The University lias no quarrel with the students of Washington; they are our friends. It is perhaps a trite phrase, but the interests of the two sehools at this time are friendly rivalry. Shake, Washington; we’re out to bent you. M. A. S. ALMA MATER—WHAT DOES IT MEAN? We sing and eheer our "Alma Mater." Those words are the characteristics of one of the humorous conventionalities of college men in later years. We sing and cheer of Alma Mater, but how many of us know the real meaning of those words? They have come down to Uni versity men and women today as a sort of traditional heritage from former generations who have lived in the col lege halls of this country from one end to another and from the old college of William and Mary to our great modern universities. They are relic of the days when to go to college was to take Greek and Philosophy. The words have come to us and we honor them. We speuk reverently of Alma Mater and have a hazy notion that the expression means some kind of mother. Have we ever stopped to think of what they really mean? Translated, the words are “Fos tering Mother.” It is then to our fostering mother that we raise our faces and voices, that we sing and shout. To her who has adopted us for four of the best years of our lives, we, the college students of this country, continually acknowledge our ap preciation in the loving name of Alma Muter—fostering mother. J. D. G. 1 COMMUNICATION K-----★ “What profiteth a man if he gain un limited knowledge but weareth out his owu soul?” is the query that comes from one of the seniors iu an unsigned “kick” to the Emerald. Verily, a serious predicament. Had this come, from any other source, 1 we would be inclined to doubt the au thenticity of the statement. But a senior says so and a senior knows. Imagine, if you can, the mental picture that is drawn from this most distressing condition. Sometime in the dim past, this portion of M7 unpretentiously, no doubt, wrig gled up to the window in the Administra tion building, separated himself from his hard earned lucre and thus placed an other name upon the books of the Uni versity. All was well, lie was in the blossom of youth; his mind an unexplor ed marsh. Three years of toil.

In this mad pursuit, everything was sacrificed. Now that the goal is in sight, the truck-horse work done, and nothing left to do but “pick the grapes,” he finds no solace. He does but wonder. I feel badly, too, in fact— I think I’ll write a little verse It surely won’t make you feel worse Than this despondent tale, I’ve told ’Bout gaining knowledge and losing eoul.” M. N. ENTERTAIN 620 GUESTS The fraternities and sororities will en tertain 620 guests today. Preparations are made to extend hospitality to 443 men and 177' women on the campus.

Dobie had a little goat, lie nourished it with care, He fed it on psychology— And thought it was a bear. Bez—he got this little goat, And with a 10 foot rule Found ’twas not a bear at all But only just plain bull. There’s Villard, vine-covered, brilliant— Memories come flooding fast of that glorious revelation. Ne’er-to-be-forgotten past. There’ll be joy and health and laughter, In the sunshine’s meanest ray— For it’s Alumnus, Alumni, Homecoming Day. Come on Alums—let’e shout, lets sing “Reunion” i\ll the way. What matter cares, or tales of woe? It’s thisrfhe world must needs to know— It’s Alumnus, Alumni, Homecoming Day, Well, I’ll see you at the eat-fest, At the bennery I’ll '.tand With roast-beef in the back ground And pickles near at hnnd.
