nSITSJMSIlY Creator of “The Pioneer” Says Bronze Cast will be Done in March. The statue, “The Pioneer," which is being presented to the University by the Teal and Thompson estates in Portland in memory of the late D. P- Thompson, former regent of the University, will be ready to be placed on the campus in April. A. Phimister Proctor, American sculptor, who was asked by Joseph N. Teal, of Portland, to design ttte figure, visited the University Tuesday and said that the statue is now in Providence, Rhode Island, being cast in bronze, and will be completed by the middle of March. Mr. Proctor came to the University to select the rock to be used as the base for the sfatue. He chose the large boulder near Hay Ren bridge, which the University committee selected about two months ago. The rock will be brought to the campus next month and the ce ment foundation which will be placed un der the boulder, will be started at that dme SIzo to'be Heroic The statue will be of heroic size, nine feet in height. Mr. Proctor has shown a pioneer with flowing beard and long hair, dressed in buckskin clothes. The man is walking and looks just as if ready to take another step into the new coun try, which he is seeking. “He is not a pioneer who has arrived,” Mr. Proctor said in describing his fig ure- “He is just coming into the new land, and he has what I like to call the ‘far-away’ look in his eyes.” The man is carrying in his hand a whip and a gun is slung over one shoulder. “What I like about the figure,” Pro fessor A. H. Schroff, of the faculty of the school of architecture, said yester day, “is that he is so typically American. So many pioneers are shown who are really not the true pioneer at all, but Frenchmen, as shown by their pointed beards, or men of some other country, just adventurers.” Finds Model In Wilds Mr. Proctor started his work early in 1917. After several months, he found for his model a hunter and trapper on a ranch in Eastern Oregon, where he started his modeling. Later, the two went into the mountains of Idaho, then to California, where Mr. Proctor com pleted the plaster cast and sent it east. The statue will be placed on the cam pus between the library and Friendly hall, facing Thirteenth street. Mr. Proctor will return to the campus in 'April to superintend the placing of the figure. Tile statue will be unveiled with appropriate ceremonies. Mr. Proctor is working now on “The j Indian Scout,” which will be placed in i the civic center in Denver, Colorado, as J a companion to ‘The Buckaroo,” which i is now in the east being cast in bronze, | preparatory to being taken to Denver. I Mr. Proctor left Wednesday morning | for Palo Alto, where he -will continue his j modeling of a young Indian whom he found in Montana. AUGIENCE DELIGHTED IT CBM BECiTSL Art of John Stark Evans is Pleasing; Miss Eleanor Lee Assists. A keen (sense of the finer distinctions of expression and a masterful technic distinguished the program of classic and modern selections presented by -John Stark Evans, instructor in the Univer sity School of Music, on the organ last nig'ht in the First Methodist church. Miss Eleanor Lee, contralto, assisted Mr. Evans in the recital, which was the fourth of a serios given under the au spices of the School of Music. All the various functions of tht or gan were called into action during the program, which opened with “Two Cho rale-Preludes,” by Bach-Busoni, a se rious and dignified selection that met with the hearty appreciation of the au dience. Each of the five groups of the evening was distinctive, following in pleasing sequence. The three numbers sung by Miss Lee in her rich contralto voice to the accompaniment of the organ were no less than inspiring. In the “Boat Song,” by Ware, Miss Lee espe cially distinguished herself, and was forced to gratify the audience with an encore. Tonal Work Delightful Delightful variations of tones and sus tained notes with counter airs character ized Mr- EvaDe’ second group, the “Fifth Sonata,” by Gutlmant, in three parts, in which the Vox Human and flute tones formed a pleasing contrast. Largo “New World” Sympathy, by Dvorak, the first , Of the third group, was played with marked changes in time, going from the \e-ij fast to the very slow, and the Springtime Sketch," by Brewer, which followed, was a true fairy dance. Sen sitiveness of expression was especially evident in the presentation of Guilmamt's ‘'Lamentation.” -Miss Lee sang the "Cry of Rachel,” by Salter, supported by the organ, in tull dramatic quality of voice. "The Blind Ploughman,” by Clarke, was « charming song given with a distinctness of annunciation which allowed the au dience to appreciate the full story of the “Ploughman.” The old favorite. “Deep River,” was sung by Miss Lee as a final encore. Two Modern Selections Two modern selections formed the last group of the evening. They were Finale “Symphony Pathetique,” by Tchaikowsky, and “To My Country.” by Soheve, under whom Mr. Evans studied oVgan for several years in New York. The program follows: Two Chorale-Preludes.Bach-Busond I ifth Sonata .. Guilmant Allegro Appassionato. Adagio. Scherzo. Largo “New World” Symphony, Dvorak Springtime Sketch . Brewer Lamentation .

An instance was given by Miss Franck lyn during one of her talks showing how the French nation, poor and broken as it is, responds to the needs of the govern ment.*I)uring the last drive only one no tice was put into the papers and the loan was over-subscribed.

Mrs. Eric W. Allen addressed the girls of the Y. W. C. A. and their friends nt the Y. M. C- A. hut yesterday after noon on “Moral Catchwords." She gave as one of her catch phrases, “Take the inevitable gracefully.” She emphasized that the sorrows and disappointments which come into our lives are the real character builders and help to develop depth and sweetness. "Learn to see life without illusions but without bitterness,” was another maxim which Mrs. AUen jave. "It is a fine thing to accomplish this bask, for to us it seems difficult, but to fail to d'o this is to confess to a- weak-* less,” she said. “The true test ojf a noble mind is whether it can stand up under some of the disillusions of life ind can be the means of giving others joy. Being happy is a duty which ev eryone owes to himself as well as oth >rs, and in order to be happy one must !orget.” “Personality,” Mrs.'” Allen continued, “is getting away from the view of self. Teamwork will be the result of several personalities working with a common ;nd in view.” “Not only must personality enter into all our work, but spirit, religion, and ELECTRIC CLEANING CO.
