KEEPING THE SPIRIT ALIVE
The University opens this year un(ler peculiar circumstances and facing
problems .that are serious in the extreme. One might say that the old
students are returning to a new institution—a “war college”—for the basic
intent of both the faculty and students this year is to do wlfcut they may in
assisting to bung the war to a succesful termination and tlnait as soon as
possible.
One unusual condition to be faced is that of more new students than old
on the enrollment records. &ucn a condition cannot but bring ne/, problems
into the life of the University. Perhaps more widely famed for its student
body spirit—the Oregon Spirit—than for any other one thing, the task before
the University, and before every student, of keeping that spirit alive during
the coming nine month® is a large one. Heretofore, the balance in favor*
of the old students in the atendance figures has acted as the balance wheel
which kept within bounds the less thoughtful action of the Frjeshnien. By
predominating example, both mental and physical, the new students were
instructed in the observance of the customs and traditions cf "Old Oregon."
By wise counsel and timely rebuke the older Rtudents have transplanted In
the younger the spirit that has sent Oregon teams to victory against un
measured odds and which lias served well the University's sons and daugh
ters in the walks of life which have followed their college days,
Oregon lias offered the flower of her undergraduate and graduate ranks
to the Flag, the Nation, and Democracy. With them went the “Oregon
Spirit,” the spirit that never says die. Behind them they left the task of
keoping that spirit alive in thefir Alma Mater. Four hundred new students
are on the campus eager to learn: a slightly smaller number who have been
through the mill are here to assist them. There is room for co-oReraUon.

sylvania, we had in our class, mer
chants, lawyers, manufacturers, and
brokers, men who were making sala
ries of anywhere from $1,200 to $10,
000 per year. They sacrificed home
salary, prospects and everything else
to be of service to their country, and
we shall expect the same of the stu
dents here.’’
Preferred Course Given
The United States Government has
chosen two courses of instruction as
standards, those of Dartmouth and
of Pennsylvania, with preference to
the Pennsylvania systenl. Professor
Jeremiah, who is himself a student
and graduate of the Pennsylvania sys-!
tent, wil use the methods of that sys- j
tern, thus giving the class the course
preferred by the Government. This
course is preferred because of the
detailed study of the “Monemoic Sys
tem of Classification.” Military
French is being taught by Professor1
DeLory.
The age of the men enrolled in the j
first course varies considerably, and
all were announced by the Govern
ment medical examiners to be fine,
specimens of physical manhood.
Portland Trip Planned
Besides the texts studied, the course
will be augmented by practical sur
veys of large industrial concerns and
warehouses. The class will soon make
a three-dav trip to Portland, where
they will, see and study the actual
methods used by these concerns in,
