With the old men back, Oregon’s traditions of the past will have their old place and the University will return to a pre-war basis. All of which is reuson for great re joicing on the part of the older students. New students will learn what Oregon Fpirit really is and come to understand and respect the hoary traditions of the past. We arc glad to welcome hack to the campus the men who left to go into mili tary training camps. Their going made prominent the im portance of and necessity of their in fluence in college affairs. The places they filled are vacant until they return again. And so their (aiming will be doubly her alded and welcomed. Tlieii going hut proved the highest of ideals of democracy and patriotism which Oregon lias always held high and so their returning will bring buck again this same fine spirit. Ai-wi we will show them that "Hello fcaue” still winds across the campus and that an Oregon student knows how to give u real handshake.

It is imperative, then, that our eyes be as nearly 100 per cent useful as possible. This is an important consideration, regardless of the nature of tlie work you are performing for your country. Whatever your occupation, if you need glasses for near and far vision, you need which are nationally accepted as the perfect invisible, two vision glasses. You can depend upon KRYPTOKS (pro nounced Crip-tocks) to conserve your eyesight and to ren der every eyeglass comfort and convenience. Their two powers are so joined as to leave no seam nor hump; con sequently they have the appearance of being ordinary sin-, gle-vision glasses. SHERMAN W.
