To the considerable number of new
freshmen entering the University for the
first time this quarter ueij to wll those
freshmen with the University during the
past quarter under the S. A. 1'. C., the
Emerald for the student body extends
a real welcome. It is these men — only
a very few of the old Oregon men have
ns yet returned from service —who have
largely uiude it possible for the Univer
sity to open this quarter with au en
rollment1 which places fifty more men
and women on the Oregon campus than
wero receiving the advantages of the
University just before America’s en
trance into the war. v
Of course, Oregon is not yet back on
her pre-war basis as far as the energy
and activity of her student body is cou
cened although the ncirtlemic work Is
now up to its former high standards. Hut
the freshmen at Oregon this year look
good to the older students and undoubt
edly will make good on the campus.
"While they are adapting themselves to
life on the campus, entering into the va
rious forms of athletics and student ac
tivities, getting acquainted, learning the
tier,m tradition and generally making
Oregon men and women of themselves,
old students will he coming hack to the
University.
Oregon is not suffering from decay.
It’s student body is alive ami the Oregon
spirit still manifest. By the opening of
the April quarter Oregon will he i
greater University than ever before.
Futlieruiore, The Etuerild’s agreeable
task of welcoming the new students to
Oregon is not to be followed this quar
ter by u sympathetic farewell to those
students, because of .the high standard*
of this University, found the pursuit of
knowledge hazardous. From overseas,
various military camps throughout the
country and fr>m the S A. T. C., Ore
gon men are on the emupua or hurrying
petitions for discharge. It is an evi
dence of the strength of Oregon Spirit
and a guarantee for the future great
ness of the imperishable intoxicant of
Oregon.
TVe have greeted our old cronies an
the Registrar, cleaned up our rooms i
!he freshmen have thken regulation
biliinery. Now Oregon is ready for a
Mg year of regular University work.
I.et’s go.
GEORGE COOK, GENTLEMAN
One of the saddest things that occur
red before the signing of the armistice
was the death of George Cook, ex-’19,
killed in action with the Marines in
France. The news reached the vampus
just before the Christmas holidays and
is a source of sorrow to everyone who
knew George.
George Cook was a quiet, unassuming
man, immensely popular among the stu
dents and successful in many forms of
student enterprise. He wan « *©od player
and a hard fighter on the football team,
was president of the Junior class and
elected manager of the Oregana. He
ranked high in scholarship as well as
making good the various student body
activities with which he was connected.
No higher tribute can be paid than to say
that he lived like the man he died in
making the supreme sacrifice for his
country. T'nassuming, and unselfish, he
left a record behind him any man might
well be proud of. *
The news wired to his mother shows
that he was killed in the last few hours
of fighting just before the armistice was
signed. Oregon is proud to own him her
son, and the sympathies of the entire
University ore extended to his family.

Their team, he said, was just starting on
a tour of France, and is playing around
at different places, such as I’nris and
Nice.
Four Days in Paris.
“They say we get four days in Paris,
so T just had to don the old moleskin
once more. They have some very good
players, but T can get on as n sub at
least,” lie said.
“I haven’t seen any of the boys from
home. T haven’t stayed any place long
enough to look them up and I haven’t
written to any of them, but I am going
to start in now and try and locate some
of them. 1 have been travl'ng with east
ern people all I he time. The officers in
the regiment are from eastern colleges.
They are a fine hunch all right, but at
that I prefer the dear old home crowd.”

Hi1 visited a French town. La Baule,
he said. It is about 15 miles up the Bay
of Biscay fronf St. Maguire. Though the
people there spoke very little English
he get along well. The beach tiler•> is

i physician, the medicine and the room.
This is considerably less than the eha-g

any doctor he wishes. This is not, how
ever included in the 85 per day ’ rge
The two graduate nurses at the infirm
ary will insure the student the best o!
