Mrs. Ellen Condon McCornack
Tells of First Days of
Society
“The early years of the Eutaxian
literary society and its connection with
the Laurean litarary society” was the
topic discussed by Mrs. Ellen Condon
McCornack, member of the first class
to graduate from the University and a
charter member of Eutaxian, at the
meeting of that organization Tuesday
evening at the Bungalow.
The Eutaxian literary society started
as a debate and a literary society. J.
L. Wortman, affirmative, and Henry
McGinn, negative, gave the first Lau
rean debate on the question: “Do
reigns of time portend downfall of re
public.” “This seems a foolish ques
tion now,” said Mrs. Cornack, “but it
was suited to that time. The affirma
tive side won, but the world did not
stand still, and soon afterwards the
Eutaxian literary society was formed.
controversy ever name
“There was quite a little trouble
over the name, so one of the girls, who
was a minister’s daughter, went to her
father and he suggested the name of
‘ Eutnrian, ’ meaning we sustained.
“The first Eutaxian meeting were
held upstairs in Deady hall, which was
at that time unfinished. Later, the re
gents requested the room and the two
literary societies, the Eutaxian and the
Laurean, wore given an unfurnished
room. The janitor gave them empty
candle boxes to use as chairs and when
the boxes gave out, the members sat
on the floor.’’
In time the two societies furnished
these rooms by giving entertainments.
All the studentB then registered in the
University belonged to either one or
the other society. Some time the two
societies would hold joint meetings and
at commencement time they would co
operate in inviting a commencement
speaker and the two societies would
bear all the expense of the speaker.
Books Were Lacking
The University at that time was lack
ing in books. The Societies were de
bating the live questions of our country
and needed reference works, so the two
societies again cooperated and bought
the necessary dictionaries, reference
books and libraries. “We had many
budding young lawyers on the campus
at that time,’’ said Mrs. McCornack.
The committee which was appointed to
form the consolidation of the two so
cleties in order that they might own
property was Judge It. 8. Bean, Ennuis
Wallice and Mrs. Irene Dunn Williams,
who was the chairman of the commit
tee. More socials and entertainments
were then given to pay for the library.
The members went through most of the
pioneer experiences for on one occa
sion they went out to gather wild
strawberries for a supper and a shower
came up which gave them a thorough
drenching.
Stood for Women’s Equality
“The question often arises ns to
what the University would have done
without the two societies. Now you
have your sororities, student body or
ganizations and your clubs, but then
we had nothing but the Laureans and
the Kutaxians to solve the problems.
'1'he two societies did one valuable
thing for the University and for the
women when they handed down the
tradition at Oregon that women are
on an equal with men. At other col
leges and universities at that time
women were not wanted on the campus,
but at Oregon, through the two soeie
ties, won i , were treated as coworkers
with tin" men, and the girts were made
to feel at home on tin' campus.
Oregon Spirit Handed Down
“The two societies may also be said
to have started and handed down Ore
gen Spirit. ’1 students were made to
feel loyalty, r. sponsibiHty and to love
their Vlnut Mate: The spirit which is
prevalent in the University today is the
same as that spirit which originated in
the Laurean and Eutaxian literary so
cieties."
The early Eutaxian meetings were
conducted much as today. The ques
tion for discussion was announced be
fore the meeting and everyene would
look up some references. Then there
would be open discussion at the meet
ing, with sometimes singing and other
forms of entertainment.

is coming up to the campus some time
soon for a long visit.
GARRET VISITS CAMPUS
Former Football Star Serves Twenty
One Months Overseas
The first Oregon student to return
to the campus from overseas service
wearing three stripes was Vernon Gar
rett, ex-’1(1, who made a short, visit
this week with his fraternity brothers
at the Higma Nu house and left for his
home in Medford Tuesday night.
Garrett had twenty-one months service
in Franco and Belgium. He was with
the ambulance section of the Univer
sity of California and was with the
French army the entire time, with the
exception of five weeks in the Argonno
and Champagne, when he was with the
American army.
Garrett was well known here as one
of Oregon’s football sturN. lie went
oversens in August, 1017 and returned
March Iti, 1911). lie was in the defense
before Verdun, the defense of Monti
dier, Soissons, and Noyon and in the
Marne offensive north of Chateau
Thierry in July, IMS, the Champagne
offensive in October and in the Ar
gonuc in November. Garrett was also

EDUCATION AGENT DUE FRIDAY
Edwin T. Heed, special agent of the
United States Bureau of Education
will .visit the University extension di
\ ision Friday, to work out a system for
the cooperation of the extension divis
ion in the establishment of community
centers in Oregon.
ALMACK GOING TO COOS

versity extension division will make an
extension trip to Coos county next

MEN’S BAND TO GIVE
Best Classical Music and Jazz
For Affair Friday Night
At Armory
The University Men’s Band will be
heard in concert at the Armory Fri
day evening; and will play for a
dance to be given after the concert.
The members of the band, 30 of them,
have been practicing faithfully for the
past two months for the concert and
they have every piece down pat and
are ready to show the University folk
that they are among those present.
The band has somehow been associa
ted with football rallies and parades,
and the idea seems to have become
almost universal that it is impossible
for the band to play classical music
or be seen in concert. It must be
admitted that the band is always on
hand for football rallies and games and
will probably be seen at the baseball
games this spring. What would a
rally or a serpentine be without the
band?
To Show Appreciation
But now the band is giving a con
cert, and if the Oregon students really
enjoy and appreciate the work the
band.does for the athletic rallies and
games there is no better way to show
this plan to get out and support this
enterprise. The band is the one stu
dent body organization on the campus
that has not received any support or
help from the student body funds and
all of the receipts, over and above
expenses, will be turned in to- the
funds of the student body. The band
is also the only musical organization
on the campus that is not being sent
on a trip this year and should at least
get a large amount of support at home.
The first half of the evening will be
devoted to the concert and Mr. Albert
Perfect, director of the band, has
announced that there will be plenty
of good music during this part of the
evening but none of the popular melo
dies will be played then. During the
dance all of the latest “jazz” num
bers will be turned lose and with Earl
Voorhies and his trombone taking a
heavy part the dance music is going
to be great. Members of the school of
music faculty are acting as patrons
and patronesses for the dance.
Editors to be Quests
This is the fourth year of the band
under Mr. Perfect and he believes that
the concert this year is the best bal
anced musical program that has beeit
presented during the time of his super
vision. The state editors, who will %e
here in convention this week-end, have
been invited to the concert as guests
of the members of the baud.
The tickets have been placed on sale
and may be obtained from any mem
ber of tho band or from Mr. Perfect
at the school of music.
The program for the concert will
include the following numbers:

HURN STILL IN FRANCE
Sees Several Oregon Men “Overthere”;
Home Soon
Karl Onthank, secretary to the Pres
ident, has received a letter from Will
iam Hurn, who was in the University
the year 1909 and ’10 . Hurn is still
in France in the service but expects to
be sent home in the near future. He is
a member of Alpha Tau Omega. His
letter in part reads as follows: “Your
letter of the 12th came today and will
shoot right back at you. Missed seeing
Janney but a few days. He is at Cob
lenz, Germany, but got Spike’s address
from him, also “Bob” Eiggs and a few
of the other fellows. Eiggs is at Arly
Field, Paris. Ealph is going to look
him up.
I played in even greater luck on see
ing Ealph as he was here for three
days. He toured France on basketball
team and had a great time.
We get the Oregonian here pretty
regularly and I note that Oregon was
the coast champion in basketball. Great
stuff.
“Spike” is a lieutenant at Bor
deaux. Going to school. I have re
ceived one letter from him.
I met the whole bunch of fellows in
the 3rd Oregon in Portland and you
must remember that I visited the chap
ter in 1916. Bemember Croner, Potter,
Simpson aiid all of that gang. Give
them my best. Also the same for Doc.
Brosius.
I am slated for a return home this
month, though when I will eventually
arrive I don’t know. The wife can in
form you as to that.
By the*way, Mike, whenever you are
in Portland go and see her. She is in
the office of the Northwestern Electric
company in the Pittock block. She has
heard a lot of you and would be very
glad to see you.
Wish that I had written 'this on the
typewriter now. With all the work
there is to do here we are unable to get
pen points and I am standing on my ear
trying to guide a “stub.”
Hoping to see you “toot sweet,”
fraternally, “BILL.”

MEN’S GLEE TO GO AGAIN
Trip Including Albany, Salem and Port
land Plan; Same Program
A second trip which will include con
certs in Albany, Salem and Portland
is the tentative plan of the Men’s Glee
club, according to Dean Walker, stu
dent manager. The concerts will be
given on May 1, 2 and 3 if the final
arrangements are made.
Mr. Walker is very enthusiastic about
the trip as the concert which was given
here last week-end showed that the
club has a program which is excep
tionally worth while. ‘ ‘ I hope the con
cert can be given in Portland, especial
ly,” he stated, ‘‘since it would be a
great boost to the University.” Prac
tically the same program which was
given at the home performance will be
given during the trip, he said.

The difference between a

Both are designed for hu

But one is a vastly more
