OLD OREGON NOW.
Oregon students returning to the Uni
versity after sorviee in the army, the
navy and the marines—and there ure n
large number of sucn students who have
already expressed this intention for the
coming quarter in letters of inquiry to
the President's office, as to courses—
will come back to the same Oregon which
they left to enter the service.
It is good to look upon the record
Oregon has made this quarter, perhaps
the most trying period in its history.
Through the assistance of the S. A. T.
d the enrollment has increased, the
Oregon Spirit 1ms not been permitted
to decay, and the faculty has been main
tained so that with the opening of the
new quarter the University will enter
upon the old standards with all the ad
vantages responsible for Oregon's
growth and greatness in the past.
With the opening of the new quarter
all Oregon schools and departments will
open offering all the old, and, In many
instances, new courses now being plan
ned for the time when the University will
resume its pre-war work. With the ex
ception of the school of law which was
forced to suspend its courses because of
the extensive military work but will not
resume its regular wo: k with the open
ing quarter, ad school* and departments
have been maintained and are now in
readiness to begin a stronger and more
extensive work than before.
From the present plans of the faculty
thi-re is nothing to give fear but that
Oregon will offer the same high standard
of work that has characterir.ed this Uni
versity in former years. In academic
w rk Oregon \ ill again begin her steady
advancement of the past few years which
was halted temporarily by the introduc
tion of military work to (lie virtual ex
clusion of much of the regular Uuiver
dty work.
As far as the college life is concerned,
present indications are that everyth ng
r. ill he back on the normal basis f lh-w
in;, ('luPMiias holidays. And in this life
tnere will be the old Oregon Spirit and
t’aditions which have lived and arc now
to place the 1 niveisity in a position to
maintain its high place among the uni
versities of the coast.
On the athletic field Oregon’s record
sf achievement lm* also turn maintain
ed under the most trying circumstances
and bus come out triumphant, t). A. t'.'s
defeat of Oregon last year was her first
victory over Oregon in ten wars, and tins
year Oregon w m again on (). A. t’.’s
field in the old Oregon way. Added to
this Oregou'a Huntington-coached war
riors, every one t whom has the old
Oregon fight and deser- e- a place on the
Oregon varsity for the work they have
done this year, in scoring the Univer
sity’s first defeat of the University of
Washington since 1906.
And Oregon will continue with renew
ed vigor that which she vhu* started this
querter. Rejuvenated by the return of
old students, Oregon will have the same
high standards of learning, the old Ore
ion fight and the other advantages of
this University which first gained Ore
gon's present standing among universi
ties and made the Oregon Spirit known
as something distinct in college life.
Any welcome from Oregon, however
quavering, would find its response in the
lasting Oregon Spirit of oi l Oregon men
who would return if necessary to rebuild
Oregon to its rightful place. Oregon can^
extend this welcome with a feeling of
pride that neither the University nor its
spirit, has decayed in the least, for next
January again it will be “Mighty Ore
gon.”
SOCIETY
The students who remained on the
campus during the Thanksgiving holidi s

inspiration for merry making and never

crowded into one week-end. Festivities,
small and large, formal and informal
were set by different campus groups for
some night during the holidays and even
the afternoons w,ere arranged for. Fac

one for the students. As next week-end

gatherings are being planned for Friday
and Saturday nights. The impromptu
student body informal yesterday in the

of tlie Oregon spirit and the enthusiasm
which hacks the teams.
