When Governor Withycombe this afternoon re viewed the caret Battalion, he did so in the capacity of com manded-in-chief of the state’s military resources. It was not three hundred college students that he reviewed, but three hun dred defenders of the American Flag. Last fall Governor Withycombe administered the pledge of service to their state and nation to these same young men. To day he saf them at work fulfilling that pledge. Those boys in uniform represented more than four companies of the man power of the state of Oregon—they represented an element of the Uniteu States Army that is destined to play an all-important part in deciding the war on the side of democracy and justice. These are the young men, resisting a period of patriotic en thusiasm, have stayed with their work, sometimes in the face of criticism, that they might find the niche in the new order of things where they would be of the greatest service to their coun try. It is unjeust to presume for a minute that they have held back with any intention of trying to evade their plain duty — if there be such a man in the ranks of the University Battalion, then he does not deserve the name of an Oregon student. The University appeared before the people of Oregon to day, through their highest official, in a new role, offering a new service and making the supreme sacrifice. It is a day which will go down into the history of our Alma Mater as one of her proudest. Classes in Investment Will Be Given in Portland. School of Commerce to Satisfy Demand for Financial Instruction. \ course in investment bunking will be started in Portland by the school of commerce, under the auspices of the extension division early in February, for officers and employes of the conuuer. cial and investment banks of that city and for the investing public generally. Frank A. Freeman, vice-president of the Lumbermens Trust company, who has bid wide experience as n bond dealer, will conduct the course for the I'niver sity. The recent sales of Liberty bonds and the approaching sale of [be third Liberty bond issue, has created a widespread interest in investment banking, and be plans of the school of commerce to or ganize a class *in Portland are in re sponse to a popular demand in that city. Loading bunkers in the state and the members of the school of commerce faculty, are of the opinion that after the war the investing public in Oregon will turn to stocks and bonds instead of to real estate luorlgugi s, which latter field has been the accustomed channel for investments in this state for many years.
