Woman’s League Wiil Take Up
Subject in Meeting Next
T uesday.
The question of the disposition of a
fund of about $80 which was pledged last
year toward the Woman’s League Hut
Fund is to be brought up for decision
before the mass meeting of Woman's
League to he held next Tuesday at four
o’clock in Villard hall, according to a de
cision reached in the executive board
meeting of Woman’s League last Tuesday
evening. The executive board wishes to
go on record, according to a motion pass
ed at this meeting, as recommending that
this fund be given to the United War
Work drive just as the pledges were
transferred in its favor.
It was also decided at this meeting
that the executive board of the Woman’s
League meet on the first Tuesday of each
month at five o’clock unless this time
is found inconvenient for the members in
the future.
To Keep Up Servica Flag.
The question of the condition of the
service flog was brought up and a com
mittee appointed to co-operate with Karl
Onthauk, secretary to President Camp
bell, in bringing it down to date and add
ing to it stars for the University men
who have entered the service since its
making, also stars for the University wo
men in the service. A number of Univer
sity women are in the country’s service
ind the committee feels they deserve this
recognition. Edna Gray was appointed
thairman of this committee with Marga
ret Mansfield and Neil Deidt as her as
sistants.
Dean Louise Ehrmann made the sug
MESSENGER
HASTY
gostion to the committee regarding the
advisability of Woman's League having
a ‘‘lookout” committee for the speakers
to address the student body. With the
enthusiasm of the student body behind
aa invitation to big men and women,
Pean Ehrmann fells it would be much
easier to obtain the speakers. Following
her suggestion a comm: tee was appoint
ed to look into the matter. The commit
tee consists of Ethel Waite, chairman,
Beulah Keagy and Gladys Hollingsworth.
Women to Report War Work.
Acting upon the request of Mrs. George
T. Gerlinger, member of the University
board of regents who was state secretary
for Volunteer Workers of the Food Ad
ministration. that tlie Oregon women
send her a report of the work done by
them this summer in the line of food con
servation. The executive board decided
that a committee be appointed to make
out a questionnaire covering the points
necessary to be passed out to the girls
and signed during the moss meeting of
the Woman’s League next Tuesday. Mrs.
Gerlinger is very anxious to receive these
reports for. although she requested them
before she has heard from only a few of
the University women, although sure that
the Oregon girls did their part this sum
mer she has no definite record. The O. A.
C. women have sent in quite an extensive
report of their work, according to Mrs.
Gerlinger.
The committee appointed to make out
and care for the questionnaires is. Fran
ces Elizabeth Baker, chairman, Gretehen
Colton and Fhilena King.
Greetings to Oregon Women.
Eva Hansen was appointed chairman
of a committee to see about sending
Christmas greetings to Oregon women in
the country’s service. Grace Hammer
strom and Helen Bremen will be her as
istants
Whether or not Woman’s League can
give a dance will be looked into by Fran
ces Elizabeth Baker, head of the spon
sor, sponsee committee. The upper class
women feel that some such occasion
should be held to enable the University
women especially the freshmen, to get
acquainted, for on account of the in
fluenza there has been little or no chance
for this.

Chas. R. YanHise Wins Appreciation
Dr. W. D. Smith Pays Tribute to Late Wiscoiisin President;
Dean Alien and Dean Morton Also Under Him.
Most people in the United States know
Charles Ilk-hard Vanllise. the late pres
ident of the University of Wisconsin, as
president of that university, but he also
has a vorljU-wide reputation as a geolo
gist. according to Dr. Warren P. Smith,
profess r in the geology department, who
majored under President Vanllise while
he w.p ■ student at Wisconsin. Three big
things In' lias contributed to science, Dr.
Smith said; first, principles of pre-Cam
binn geology, which he contributed after
a study of the deposits in the Great Lake
region; second, geology of the iron de
posits of the Great Lakes; and third, a
treatise on Metamorphism which has
been nicknamed the geologists bible, and
is probably one of two or three most
eminent of contributions to geological
I science made by Americans. Pr. Smith
was a member of Pr. Vanllise’s geology
-seminary during the writing of the last
two of these works.
Not a Smooth Speaker.
Pr. Vanllise, according to Pr. Smith,
as a professor, was far from n smooth
speaker but this was soon forgotten be
cause of the wonderful thought which
his lectures contained.
“lie was a very democratic man and
loved the out-of-doors,” said Pr. Smith.
“He was universally loved by lumberjacks
and scholars throughout the Great Lake
regions.”
His name is on the bow of the largest
iron transport in the world. A few years
ago when it was being removed from tho
Great Lakes several newspaper stories
appeared describing how it had <to be cut
in two to be removed to tho sea.
Helped Students Much.
“Pr VanHise has done more for me,”
continued Dr. Smith, “than any other
one man in the world except my father."
One day while helping Or. Smith nrrangi
his program he asked him what outside
reading he had done. Then he asked ii
Smith had read “The Origin of the Spe
cies.” remarking that no man would evei
he a great scientist unless he had read
this book before he was twenty-one.
He lived in Madison nearly all his life,
atteuiing the University of Wisconsin
a« a student afterwards becoming a pro
fessor and later president of the Uni
versity. Tie has often been heard to tell
11r. Smith said, that he had taught every
thing in the University exeept Greek,
This. Dr. Smith remarked, is perhaps one
reason why he was a man of such broad
sympathies.
Had Largest Income.
In Madison which is a city of perhaps
forty or fifty thousand Dr. Vnnllise
paid the largest income itnx which accord
ing to Dr. Smith, is a refutation against
tho belief that college professors are
not practical. During his life he turned
down commercial offers for immense sal
aries.
Professor Trie W. Allen, dean of the
school of journalism who attended Wis
consin University at the antne time Dr.
Smith did. but who was one year ahead
of him, says of Dr. VanHise: “ITe was
the most tactless man that ever lived,
bnt people learned to love him.”
Was Never Narrow.
Dr. Vnnllise was never narrow, Dean
Allen said, and possessed every good
quality a man should have hut a sense of
humor. lie started the building up of
the extension division, an idea original
with himself.
Dean Morton, head of the school of
commerce, was a professor under Dr.
VnnTTise at Wisconsin.
Quarantine Off Australia Is
Described; Antipodean
Papers Strange.
In a letter written on characteristic
Antipodean stationery, opening from
left to right, Beatrice Thurston, of the
dnss of 1918, now in Australia as an
advance ngeut for a Chatauqua circuit,
tells of her trip to the other side of the
world and describes some of the pecu
liarities of the newspapers published
there.
Mias Thurston, who was a student in
the school of journalism, writes that she
expects to return to Oregon next year
and take her degree.
One hundred fifty passengers and
members of the crew of the liner Nia
gara were down with Spanish influenza
and three died during the voyage, Miss
Thurston writes, ller letter was dated
in quarantine off Sydney, N- S. W., Oct.
20. Miss Thurston had escaped the
•‘flu” and was merely waiting the lift
ing of the. quarantine to land
“Am getting newspaper experience
along a new line,” she writes. “Met the
editor of one of the large Auckland,
(N. Z.) papers and had an interesting
chat. As you probably know, the idea
over here is to stick all the advertise
ments on the first page and the page of
news is in the middle- The editor ex
plained it by saying that if the news
were on the front page people would
just read that and throw the rest away.”
Miss Thurston promises to send a
copy of one of these topsy-turvy papers
to the University
WAR FUND NOW $5,470.85
New Piodges Made; Total Report Not
All In.
A few additional pledges have been
added to the United War Work drive
since the University report was sent in
last Monday night with a final count of
$5470.85.
Dorothy Collier, acting secretary of
the Y. W. C. A., yesterday reported one
additional pledge from the women, and
Dr. A. E. Caswell reported two new
faculty pledges. Virgil Meuddor was ap
pointed to make the final solicit among
the men, but he haa not yet made his re
port.
Faculty members, students, and others
connected with the University, who have
made their pledges to elsewhere than to
the University committee are asked to
report their subscription to Dr. Caswell,
in order that the University may receive
credit for the subscription in the rtjoal
-ecord of the drive.
I
Every Girl to Have an Escort;
Hours 8:30 to 11:30, and
Real Music.
The dance tomorrow night in the ar
mory will undoubtedly be the cleverest
informal affair of the year. The com
mittee is working hard and all that is
, necessary now to make it a success is a
big crowd which will insure lots of “pep.”
Since there are more men in college than
girls, and since the girls have to depend
on the men to take them to the dance,
Dean Straub has suggested that every
man make it u point ito see that some
girl gets to the dance.
“If any girl in the University has to
stay home Friday night it will be a
blooming shame,” said Dean Straub to
day.
It’s going to be some dance! Starting
at 8:80, dancing will be allowed until
11:30. This is the first time this year
you have bad the chance to stny out so
late—be sure and take advantage of it.
Three hours of bloss!
Don't try to sit out any dances, girls.
It can’t be done this time because the
committee plotted against this very
thing when they appointed the student
floor committee. They will spot everyone
and they won’t rest until they see your
dainty feet tripping to the strains of
oh, yes, another feature—llendershott’s
8-piece orchestra.
The personnel of the floor committee
is: Jack Dundore, William Hollenbeck,
Dorothy Flegel, Helen McDonald, Ruby
Hogue, Sum Lehman, “Nick” Carter,
George Horsefull, Charles Comfort and
Ella Dews.
iue admission win dp just oo cems.
This is well within the reach of every
body, and when you get inside there will
be some members of the fuculty to wel
come you. The patrons and patronesses
who will add greatly to the enjoyment of
the dance are President and Mrs. P. L.
Campbell, Dean and Mrs. John Straub,
Dean Louise Ehrmann, Colonel and Mrs.
John Leader and Mrs. W. II. C. Bowen.
