The sun goes down with this issue of The Emerald and we cross tho bar— to enter on the still rougher voyage, which tritely conceded by the college grad who has been through the gaff—to cross the bar into the cruel cold world. In retrospect we see many things ac complished the past year and the in auguration of many others, all motived by earnest belief they were for the best interests of the student body. As was the policy last year, so has The Emerald endeavored to uphold the policy this year —one of militancy. The absolute inde pendence of organizations was maintain ed in toto. We bowed to no class, clique or individual. it has cost us many friends—if such they may he counted friends. We have sacrificed friendly re lationships with others to maintain the standard of The Emerald ns an indepen dent student body organ. We do not re gret any of it. We are sorry for the an tagonisms, but they were antagonisms of necessity aud not of choice. The year lias been a panorama of di versified activity such as never before witnessed in the history of the institu tion. From a successful football season that ended with the glorious victory over Pnnsylvania on the l’asudena Field New Years Day, 14 to 0, we plunged into a second semester that saw the University grow into a rollicking lusty youngster of over a thousand student body. Still later in April saw the tremendous war uphenvnl and the resulting demoraliza tion of intercollegiate athletics, the de cimation of the student body by enlist ment for farm, army and navy, and the disorganization of class work by the tense strain of the moments. Then as a finale to the year we have witnessed the change in commencement plans, hte cancellation of the commencement play, the setting tip a week ahead of the underclass examin ations and the dismissal of the University term one week early. Truly it Iuih been a diversified year. How it has been possible to keep a bal ance and poise through It all and keep the student body the loyal body of Ore gon students imbued with the great Old Oregon Spirit that we believe lias been maintuiued is only the result of the great growth of responsibility on the campus and the evolution toward student self government. But now the vacation comes. Whatever may happen during the in terim of three months, the old Oregon Spirit must never be allowed to lag. Whatever our mistakes we must always have Oregon Spirit. What may happen before next Septem ber is difficult to predict. War's ac tivities may have ceased and they may have been intensified. But some of us leave not to return again as undergrad uates. We The Emerald sing today our awan song. The end is here. We part. Goodbye! To the members of his staff who were his loyal co-workers during the year and who so faithfully attended to their duties and helped in the making of what the editor believes has been r successful year, the editor wants to acknowledge his grateful appreciation and wisli them good luck in their future work.

To Rex Patrons: I saw “The Bottle Imp” when shown at the Columbia theatre in Portland. It is certainly the greatest achievement of that magnificent actor Sessue Hayakawa, and the play is simply fascinating, with the added novelty of being entirely different from anything I have ever seen. a. h.

So we hack the little men, Slice and split and sew— Tear them all apart again— Aint we the cut-ups though? (Note: We culled these from Jawn De Witt’s choice collection entitled “The Calumn-y.”) The new officers took their oath like a bunch of Sunday School students go ing through the catechism.

We were over at the recital in Guild hall last night and held a littie conversa tion with another member of the audi ence. It wasn’t until afterward that we learned thnt the usher had come up to the person next to us and said. “W on’t you ask Lucile to stop talking. I’m afraid if I did she would stick me in her column.” You are safe now: this is ab solutely our Inst appearance.
