IT’S REFRESING.
In no spirit of boastfulness over the
defeat of O- A. C. it must bo said tliut
the Oregon victory brings to Oregon
more benefits than, perhaps, any other
one event in University lifo this year.
And the credit goes to “Shy” Hunting
ton, “Bill” JInyward and the tenm.
Before the game Saturday there was
n poor spirit on the. campus. Everyone
knew it, but it seemed that the work of
old men on (lie campus could do nothing
to bring to life the old Oregon Spirit.
The freshmen knew the spirit on the
campus was not what they hud heard
about before entering the University lint,
apparently, felt it useless for them, in
the light of circumstances, to do any
thing. Tilings wore “different ”
So wlien 800 Oregon rooters made the
trip to O. A. 0. to see Saturday’s game
on an Oregon spoeial, had a chance t"
support their team on the enemy’s field
and saw the Oregon fight triumphant, it
was really a big service. And Oregon
will not forget that (lie credit for this
Service in unifying the students of the
University and making them proud of
Oregon and enpnhlo of understanding the
Oregon Spirit, is due to the Oregon
eleven of 11)18 and Hint it was their ef
forts, made in the face of (lie most dis
couraging conditions an Oregon team
ever lias had to face, that made the life
of tlie Oregon Spirit certain until the
University is again on its old basis with
tile old men returned to the campus.
It's refreshing, this new feeling on the
campus.
A GREAT MAN.
The college world should find time for
Rome notice of the passing of Andrew
] Mekson Whit-, the first President of
Cornell 1’nivetsity, even in a month |
marked by the signing of the armistice
hy Oermauy. I>r. White was President I
t'1’ Cornell I'nlvcrsity during the first
nineteen yens of it's existence though |
on leave of absence port of that time as
1' S. minister to Russia and as minis- 1
ter to Germany Hut he had a free 1
hand given him by Kara Cornell in j
framing the educational policy of Cor
nell Tulveraity. an opportunity almost
unique. Bud he proved himself equal to
the conception of n new type , f Culver
Slt\, adapted to the new age, and with *
It s faec to the future ; non sectarian,
scientific, giving scope and honor to
the new education*] discipline*, such as
engineering and agriculture, and so he
earned his place, as sharing with e»
presldent KUof of Harvard rhe chief
honors in the transform*t ,>n of the old ,
AiUfltouj siliauj Ooilege intu lb» grr*I j
and many-sided American University of
today.
Dr. White occupied an honorable place
in the diplomatic history of the United
States end in the roll of our historical
scholars, but his special distinction is in
the field of university education where
he separates himself from the many col
lope presidents who have been able ad
ministrators. President White was
something more—be was a creative mind,
who originated a new education.
The Oregon Spirit beat O. A. C- As
has been the case in game after game
won by Oregon in the past, victory came
in the last half. It was the old Oregon
fight thut is capable of tV strongest
support to the team when Oregon is
behind- And as in die. past this Ore
gon fight was bolstered up for that last
half by a factor too often overlooked—
"Bill” Hayward, Oregon’s veteran train
er, who makes for the perfect physical
condition of Oregon men to the end that
they are comparatively of much greater
strength in the last part of the game.
Yes, tilings are. different at Oregon
this year, but after the Oregon fight
displayed Saturday b.y both the team and
the 800 rooters, itr is almost absurd to
appeal for a good turn-out to give the
team a send-off when they leave for Cal
ifornia. Nothing can stop them — and
it will take a lot to stop "Shy” and
Bill and the hoy's who go to Berke
ley.
Oregon foothill! history repented it
self. The Aggies wore benten. Mot au
Oregon ninn was forced to quit the
game because of poor condition- The
Oregon team showed they lmd given u
little previous thought toward uphold
ing the University’s reputation; just as
Oregon teams in the past.
Only nine more yenrs, Aggies.
Convalesces in Hospital; Then
Meets U. of 0. Men on
Visit to Paris.
Kent Wilson, cx-TS, now with the -1th
French army, has written to Karl On
thiuil; from lOvneuntion hospital M'o. ;!,
where he was stationed at the time of
the letter, Oct. 110. Wilson was a member
of A. T. (>. and prominent both in class
activities and in athletics. His letter in
part follows:
‘■Since the 25th of July, when I was
sent up to the front at Soissons, each
day has been filled to the brim. The
spare moments I spent in sleep. Oh yes,
1 did have eight days’ rest in the middle
of August (convalescent) when I got
clogged up with some chlorine gas that
a Boche plane was so thoughtful in drop
ping in the center of a First Aid stn*
tion I was running. After six days in a
gas hospital I spent three days in Paris
and had the pleasure of enjoying Uni
versity of Oregon hospitality at the Uni
versity Union. 1 met several A. T. O's.
there slid it certainly was a pleasure to
he able to sit down in big luxurious
vouches and talk of good oM college days
again just after coming out of 'Hell.’
" •' took part in the St. Mthiel offen
sive as did ulso t’apt. Waiter McClure,
"ho you probably know is now an feting
major. I almost ran into him in tho
drivo hut as luck would have it I missed
him by half an hour. After the St. Mtkiel
drive wo moved to Verdun We are now
operating with the French 1th army
under tleneral tlouroud. Our first few
days here we were under shell fire con
tinually, but now that we have got the
Hun footing it back towards the Rhine
von can just barely hear the big guns.
■\ on would simply stare in amazement i '
you could gaze upon what has been N
Man’s Land' for the past four years, it
Is almplj a mass of tangled barb wire,
sunken pits, dugouts and waste, waste,
waste, a* far as the eye can see. The
Huns believed that n’ mortal being could
penetr.it* these hellish defenses but the
American* and French, under the most
terrific barrage this front has ever
known, went over the top the morning
of (Vt. ‘2 mid through them like a fash
of lightning. The Huns 1 don’t believe
will recover from the shock, as they nre
still on the run.'*

REDDIE TELLS OF SEA TRIP
Professor cf Dramatics Describes Voy- i
age to Australia.
In a letter recently received by Presi
dent Campbell, Prof. A. F. Reddie, head
of the department of public speaking,
then on his way to Australia says, in
part:
“I cannot help sending you a line of
greeting from the ‘Antipathies,’ as Mrs.
Malaprop would say.
“It has so often been my wish on this
beautiful voyage that Mis. Campbell and
yourself might be having it instead of i
myself. I eannot think of anyone who
would more gladly have enjoyed or de
served it. I feel positively selfish to have
been the fortunate one.
“I shall have many interesting things
to tell you all when I return, for the ship
is full of wounded Australian officers and
refugees from London. Surely we do not
know the war in our country.”
