NTEMPF. RATE PROFESSORS
It is unfortunate that in the formative
years of a youth—those years when the
influence of education means so much to
him—he should have as his teachers men
and women of bias, narrowness or un
controlled temper. Inevitably such in
structors develop within the youths who
come under their influence a pathological
condition and society suffers. It would
be still more unfortunate were such in
sl motors allowed to continue their per
nicious influence continually Hut so
ciety has its safety valve and stands the
pressure of these characters so long as
their evil work is determined. Then fol
lows ostracism. The sad part of that is
they are branded as failures—failures
as teachers when as a matter of fact they
had brilliant minds.
The University has ils examples as does
every educational institution. It would be
strange were a perfect set of faculty
members found in one place. Yet not all
faculty members arc so set in their ways
they cannot see their way clear to u
change. It is said a hint to the wise is
sufficient. We hope so. It saves ignominy
for many.
No teacher can jump to a conclusion,
accuse his class in intemperate language
of doing indolent work and expect those
same students in their own life to use
slow, careful judgment. The example to
a youth in his formative years of such
hastiness on the part of an instructor
undoubtedly leads the youth into the
same pernicious habit. Then again
should the instructor yield to hasty judg
ment and intemperate language in a lit
of anger and accuse his students unjustly,
the effect of the instructor’s temper
finds its resting place in the plastic mind
of (he student. It was Longfellow who
wrote :
“1 shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth 1 knew not where.”
* * * *
‘‘I breathed a song into tin1 air,
It fell to earth 1 ! new not where”,
* * * *
“Long long afterward in an oak
I found again in the heart of a friend.”
And the song from beginning to end
1 found again in the heart of a friend.
The evil resulting from the instructor's
influence is so much the worse when he is
wrong In his accusations. Hut then' is evil
nevertheless simply in his influence of
bias, narrowness and temper which so
ciety cannot and should not stand.
Statistics furnished liy Librarian M.
II. Douglass, show Dial tin' University's
“hihlioti'kt*” is becoming more and more
patronised liy tlio students and the state
at large. Loans for home reading have
increased 41 per cent. A gain of Ho per
cent is also noted in loans of all natures.
This marks a use of the library that is
increasing even faster than the enroll
ment of the University. This would

seem to indicate a greater interest in
the library among the students, far pur
poses of pleasure as well as study. The
number of loans sent out of the city to
persons tliorougbout the state has risen
per cent. The library is spreading the
influence and opportunities of the Uni
versity among all of Oregon’s citizens.—

WAR RELIEF ONLY $199.25
Contributions for Prison Camps Are Still
Solicited.
Only four fraternities and sororities
and one private student residence have

for relief for the European prison camps.

The fund will be open indefinitely to
those wishing to contribute to the cause,
and canvassing is still going on. Secre
tary Foster of the Y. M. C. A. said.
"('ontributions will be accepted indefi
nitely as the need for money for tins
cause will be felt even after pence since
the conditions of the soldiers in many
instances is such as to require a great
unount of attention.”
A large number of private contribu
tions have been made. Although the
raising of this relief fund is altogether
under the auspices of college people.

10 FOliR BY FACULTY
W. K. Livingston, Myra McFar
land, Nellie Cox and W. C.
Nicholas Receive Honors.
Nicholas Was Early Editor of
Oregon Weekly; Named
The Emerald.
Degrees were grunted by the faculty
to William Kenneth Livingstone, Nellie
Cox, Myra Elsie McFarland, and Wilson
C. Nicholas at the regular meeting of the
faculty March 2. Mr. Livingstone re
ceived the degree of Master of Arts and
the other three eandidi tes were recom
mended for Bachelor of Arts degrees.
William Livingstone resides in Port
land where he will attend the University
of Oregon medical school. Nellie Cox
was a prominent member of last year’s
junior class. She stood high in^scholar
ship and was popular on the campus.
She is now teaching in the Medford high
school.
Miss McFarland attended the Univer
sity last year and ranked among the
highest in studies and activities. She
resides in Eugene and teaches in the lo
cal high school.
Mr. Nicholas of Portland was editor
of the Emerald when Karl W. Onthank,
secretary to President Campbell, was a
budding journalist, according to On
thank’s statement yesterday, in speak
ing of the accomplishments of Mr.
Nicholas while at Oregon. "It was back
in the times when the University’s pres
ent Emerald was a weekly, ” said Mr.
Onthank, “ and was called the Oregon
Weekly. Mr. Nicholas began putting the
paper out twice a week and gave it the
name which it has held since.” ,
According to Mr. Onthank, the name
given to the paper was not heralded with
much enthusiasm by the students at that
time. lie did not remember what the ob
jection was to Emerald as an appella
tion for the new paper. The following
year, Mr. Onthank was elected editor
in-chief of the Emerald and another
notch was made in the advancement
from a bi-weekly to tri-weekly.
Outdoor Work Discontinued;
Hayward’s Men Sprint on
Covered Track.
Nelson, Goreczky, Wilson, Bold
ing’, Only Letter Men Back;
New Material Needed.
Tea inches of snow has forced tho
candidates for Hill Haywards traok train
to nnliinber the kinks from their muscles
the past two weeks on the covered track
hack of the grandstand. Starts and slow
jogs up ai 1 down the short stretch is the
tri-week'y program.
The frozen stuff came at a most in- ,
opportune time as the squad had just I
started on outdoor training. Now all :
the early work will have ot he gone !
over. This is the latest an Oregon track :
team ha been kept off the four-lap
track for years.
Hill Hayward will nee' every possible
good day he can get to bring out a team
this year that will he worthy of the
lemon yellow. Only four letter men are
on deck from last .easoii’s northwest
champions and the .rouble is that they
are all "one-barrelled" athletes. l'.ach
is a winner in his own event, but that
leaves the rest of the l laces unaccounted
for. Hill is counting on each man to j
run more than just one race. Oscar
Goroezky, for example, will probably be
called on for the hurdles and relay a
addition to the sprints, Captain Martin
Neson and Kent Wilson will take care
of the middle distan es, and Hon Healing
the mile.
Only one man is Lac' in the field .
events, Kenneth Hartlett, "l'.sty" 1
pressed Cole in the discus at the confer- j
euee meet last year and with steady iui- j
provement ought to establish a new !
mark the coming season.
These are all of last year’s point win- j
nets that are iti college so there is every
chance in the world for new men to
break in. Of last y car’s freshmen team
Mike Harris. George Gatos, Harold
Hroek and Hob Atkinson have been turn
ing out the most >n latently. Harris
end Hiv. k . r. s; : V k r. • n runs
the half and Gnu s s i pole-v.miter.
Hill has given most ot his time to the
freshmen, but until the squad gets out
in the open little can be learned about
them. Th freshmen will meet O. A.
later on and there is a possibility of an
other neet being scheduled.
O. A. C. holds some relay g
nines at ,
Corvallis on April 7 at which Oregon will
probably be represented, if enough men
are in shape to form a team. This meet
is open to most of the schools of the
state and includes other events besides
the relay races.

CUPID INVADES EMERALD

HARWOOD “PLANTS HIS PIN”
£ c* 4. *
SERENADED BY KAPPA SIGS
Even the Emerald staff is not im
mune from the wily darts of Cupid’s
bow. The little Valentine boy made his
appearance on the campus Saturday
night and amid the jolly serenade of the
Kappa Sigma boys to the Delta Gammas
the fact became known. Ed Harwood,
managing editor, had “planted” his pin.
lie is only the third successive managing
editor to so do.
Ed was more than happy as he sat in
front of the Kappa Sigma fireplace Sat
urday night and finally burst forth with,
“Come on over to the Oregana, boys, I've
planted my pin!” While they feasted
Ed was busy sending a freezer of ice
cream to “1307 Alder.”
It arrived just as Roberta Killam ap
peared with the “explanation” and the
festivities were only hushed by a bunch
of Kappa Sig songsters who serenaded
with appropriate songs their newest
wearer of the crescent.
Johnny Telford, a track star under
I.ill Hayward in l'.ill, is under contract
with the Tacoma Tigers in the North
west league. lie and Rickey Williams,
the former Oregon Aggie hinder, did a
good share of the mound duty for the
Tacoma club last summer.
