HELLO I With service and accuracy, as cornerstones the Emerald begins pub lication for the school year with this issue. We have a big mission to fill and development to make as has every other form of student activity on the campus. This year, ^n Oregon men, faculty and new dents, are returning with enthusiasm the student body publication wfli aim to be a real stimulus in the life of the University and the realization of its ideals. The first mission of the Emerald will be the presentation of reliable news in the most inter esting way. A thoroughly organized mechanism for newsgetting and ex pression offers the only means for the accomplishment of this mission. However, the Emerald, has yet a more important purpose. It must constantly keep the idea In mind that the University is an important part of state and national thought and ac tion. Much must be accomplished by our school; its needs for enlarge ment are great. It has a great de velopment yet in store. University men and women are likely to lose the perspective of Oregon’s develop ment and future from too close ab sorption in the details of the ac tivities of their routine college work. 643 665 665 1316 The Emerald alma to keep these things In mind and to furnish such a viewpoint in the interpretation of campus reforms and activities that they should help to clarify and crys tallize a realization of the needs and ideals of our Oregon. The Emerald is essentially a stu dent body publication. Hence it follows that it should receive the support or every student and that every student should have a desire to aid it in fulfilling its ideals. The staff of the paper is but par tially made up and there is a splen did opportunity for every student of Journalistic tendencies to gain one of the many now vacant positions. It must bo remembered, however, that the Emerald extracts a price— a price of service—but tho rewards are manifold. Students desiring to work on the Emerald may see tho editor in person or report to the editorial rooms in the Journalism annex any time, pre ferably before noon on the day be fore publication. Every applicant will have a chance. SHALL DEMOCRACY AND SPIRIT LIVE? With the largest enrollment In the history of the Institution In attend ance, scores of old students back on the campus, athletics and other forms of student activity starting with cel erity, the doors of our Oregon have again swung open, this time on a year which should prove to bo the brightest In Its history. Never before have there been more indications of prosperity than are everywhere in evidence now. This fall will see the opening of our new athletic field; ground is already bro ken for the new $200,000 Women's building; the ranks of the faculty have been enlarged; new courses are offered; every department of the school looks toward a bright and glowing future. Our Oregon is rapidly drawing' away from the field of smaller in stitutions of learning. With a steady, sure tread she is entering the sphere occupied by the larger schools of the country. This increase in en rollment and spreading out into a larger and wider sphere comes not I without its pitfalls and impending1 dangers which we must ever strive' .to avoid. Oregon has been heralded far and ! wide as a school of democracy, whose students are live-blooded men and women filled with an ever-present desire to gain supremacy for their school. Our custom of all students speaking to each other when they meet on the campus or elsewhere is but one of the many traditions which Oregon is known for and which has helped to stipulate the democracy for which she is famed. Our pages of athletic history are full of tales of Oregon’s victory against odds, vic tories won by Oregon fight. These two great throbbing, active elements of our structure—Democra cy and Spirit—have largely been brought about by the fact that we have been a small school. Every student has known his fellow students and his teachers. He has mingled with them, and shared their good luck and misfortunes. By the fact of the smaller enrollment of the University democracy and University fight have thrived. This year finds Oregon a far larger school with a multitude of new faces. She is not the small school of the past and it would be easy for our democracy, our spirit, our development to fall into the background. The tone of our student body must be maintained. We must live up to the standard set in the past and in turn put this standard an other notch forward. Every student Should learn the traditions of Oregon and live up to them, know his in structors, his fellow students, min gle with them, unloosen a “hello” when he meets them, for thus shall democracy not perish. Furthermore our activities are crying for sup porters. Here is a great field in \t)iieh every student will find some thing of interest and in so doing will learn to love our Oregon more and to know the lesson of service and reward she pays.
