Roswell Dosch in Portland a few days ugo. To him was not given, the glory of death on the battlefield of Europe—but his service was no less noble, bis sacri fice no less great. For the spirit of his enlistment, in the Officers’ Training Corps ut the Presidio was that of offering his whole servieo to his country with per fect willingness to serve wherever his country should place him. After his study abroad he came back to his native stute, Oregon, and in the three years as instructor in modeling and art, be had come to occupy a permanent place in tin; hearts of University people, us well as others who knew lilm per sonally outside of his classroom. Hi* interest in the -well-being of the Univer sity never flagged- his last work was the modeling of the memorial figure in honor v* Jfce soldier dead of the Univer sity of Oregon. This model figure which was to have been developed in bronze, was, unfortunately, broken by accident. J ’Pin1 friends of Roswell Dosch will miss I Mm sorely, <i»U the University of Ore gon tuts lost a member whose place can not be filled- The most fitting tribute we of the University can pay to him is just that of deepest loss of a true j friend and of pride that he should have given his i nn interest to the University t»f Oregon, mi! his greatest service to Lis country IF.

MORE TEACHERS READING 5,000 Circle Certificates Issued; In crease of 1,500. Five thousand reading circle certifi cates were issued this year to teachers in the state by the University extension division. This is an increase of 1,500 j over the number issued last y^ar, when ! but .'{,500 certificates were issued which ! was tbe smallest number since the first year the University offered the reading j i Jist. The decrease last year wag due to the fact that the state superintendent of solitude did not require reading circle certificates Tor that year from teachers who attended the National Educational association which was held in 1‘orUaod during the summer of 1017. It is expected by John C. Almack, di rector of the extension division, that the number of applicants for reading circle certificates will he much larger this com ing year. One reason for the expected in crease is the new correspondence course offered with the reading circle certificate foi the year, also one hour of University credit. According to Mr. Almack, about 150 applications for reading circle cer tificates for the year 1910 have already beerf jreceived, which is a much larger cumber than is usually received so early. Most of the reading is done during the summer months. According to the state law all teach ers not in the first class districts, must read one reading circle book from either C. A. C. or the University each year. Tr. some city schools the superintendents are requiring reading circle certificates from the teachers. About sixteen books comprise the list offered by the Univer sity. In order thnt there may be no con flicts, the list offered by O. A. C. deals only with industrial education.

Students crowded the gym from four to six and danced with a pep that made evident the fact that the affair was a celebration. A serpentine led by Billy Morrison circled around the hall and gave rous ing yells in honor of the team. A new« song, written by Bill Bolgcr nnd put to the tune of “Mighty Oregon,” was sung by the gr >up nnd was greeted with much enthusiasm by the students As the serpentine filed out the dancers stood up and sang “Mighty Oregon.” The new words written by Bill Bolger follow: Oregon brought home the bacon, Like the Yankees got the Rhiiie, It was Washington they raided, How they pounded through her line. Just another of our victims, But the story is not done, For we’ll keep it up forever— Now you’re fighting, OREGON. Oregon, you are the victor. You are noted for your fight. You have gained it by your Spirit That right wins over might. We will stand behind your warriors And we back them every one, For we love the grand old college, It’s our Mighty Oregon. With the old Oregon fight, the Uni versity orchestra was on the job early to help along the celebration and fur nish music for the dancers. They were as willing to stay beyond the University regulations ihs were the dancers them selves. But regulations were obeyed. S. A. T.C.
