SHOW YOUR OREGON SPIRIT
Almost two months remain until
the final tleclfalon of the people oi
Oregon on the fate of higher educa
tion in the Htata. Before that time
v e, as students of the University
will begin to fully realize just what
the defeat of tho bill would mean.
But after the coming vacation week
we are almost powerless to do any
thing toward enlisting support for it,
What work we do must he completed
between now and April 5.
Today Is the last Issue of the
Kan era Id for the winter term. We
have but one week remaining to
leurn the facts about the need ol
the University, the Agricultural col
lege, and the Normal. These facts
are matters of public interest. They
must he well In mind if we expect to
convince anyone as to the right of
our cause. Remember that mis
statement and Ignorance will create
the very worst impression upon out
siders. We must be accurate and
to be accurate we must know the
facts.
Our work on the outside is largely
one of personal contact. Make It a
point to find out how all your friends
are standing on the hill. See what
their understanding of the case is.
Then give them the factB. Do not
overburden them with details. Your
strongest arguments are simple fig
ures of income and enrollment. They
need no interpretation. They can
not misrepresent. Be fair and cour
teous to everyone. There are two
sides to every iiuestion, and where
you can not help your cause do not
injure it.
But first, before you leave the
University, decide whether you are
going to work, und why. This is
nobody's business but your own. If
you are not loyal to your alma mater
and to your own Interests no one
will try to make you do it. Imagine
for a moment that the University
faced the problem of forbidding 700
of her present students to return
alter spring vacation if a certain
measure failed and that you stood a
tiG1, chance of being one of those
700 Would you work? Now that is
exactly the problem which does
confront the University, if the
mllluge hill fails, fully that many
old students will be denied the right
to enter next fall, and a large num
ber or high school students will be
deprived of their only chance to
complete toe r education. Will you
'v or a ? ,
li tho p'-oplr of Oregon can he
made to see that this condition is
the inevitable result of th.* failure
of tile hill, i iere is no doubt that it
will pass. But they do no* know it
today. \ good many of them may
not know it until Is actually a
fact if you do not act.
if you believe in Old Oregon; if
you think higher education is worth
while, you will throw yourself whole
heartodly into the campaign. You!
may not tie a campaign speaker, you
may not be a gifted conversational
ist. But you do have friends, and
over them you have more influence
than auy gifted stranger who everj
lived. It is the little things which
will count in the long run, and the
students of Oregon, of O. A. C., and
of Monmouth Normal are the ones
who can pile up vote by vote a
mighty wave of sentiment which will
make sure the cause of higher edu
cation.
Remember, this is a cause in
which we are placed shoulder to
shoulder with the students of two
other state institutions. They are
working for our cause and we for
theirs. But we will be judged on
our share in this campaign Just as
truly as if it were a football game.
The old Oregon Spirit has been the
pride of every student who ever at
tended the University. Very few of
us could be on the team which “out
played Harvard”, but all of us can
be of the stamp who live up to the
lighest traditions of the University
ive love. Our football team was as
;ood as any which have gone before,
ind are not we?—E. R.
A REGRETTABLE LOSS
1 Dr. Joseph Schafer, professor of
history in the University since 1900,
will leave Friday of next week to
! take the position of superintendent
j qf the Wisconsin State Historical
; society at the University of Wiscon
j sin. In going to the University of
Wisconsin Dr. Schafer returns to
; his alma mater from which he gra
j duated in 1894 and later received all
! of his higher degrees,
j Both faculty and students regret to
'see Dr. Schafer leave the University|
for he is recognized as one of the
i strongest, brainiest, and most in- J
1 spiring faculty members the Univer
sity has ever had and in losing him
the University feels itself weakened.
Wishes for success will follow Dr. j
j Schafer to Wisconsin, where it is
recognized that a wide (ield of op
portunity awaits him. He will have;
i time for research work in which he j
is mucii interested and he will have'
at his disposal a budget of $(10,000
a year und a library of 1,000,000
hooks and pamphlets. In addition
lie will receive a salary such as the
University of Oregon is unable to
pay because of its financial con
dition.
During his time at the University
Dr. Schafer has field the position of
dean of the extension division from
1912 to 1917 and also dean of the
summer school from 1912 to 1918,
when he resigned both deanships to
devote more time to his research
work. He was prevented from doing
this, however, by the heavy influx
of students and the inability of the
University to provide more instruc
tors. The University also owes a
debt of gratitude to Dr. Schafer for
the founding in 1913 of the Port
land center of the University ex
tension division, which has grown
to be one of the most important
branches of University work.

CONCERT TO START AT 8
LATE COMERS TO MISS HALF OF
THIBAUD PROGRAM
Violinist Who Will Play Here Tues
day Night is One of World’s
Greatest Artists
The Jacques Thibaud concert in
Villard hall next Tuesday evening
will start promptly at 8 o’clock. II
: is announced by those in charge ol
; arrangements that the doors will
positively be closed at 8 o’clock
sharp and that none will thereafter
be admitted until the intermission in
the program. It is the committee’s
idea that it would be unfair* both to
such a great artist and to his hearers
to have fine effects spoiled by the
stamping of feet down the aisles and
seating a large number of late
comers.
Thibaud’s superiority over Kubelik,
who is much better advertised, is
unquestioned, according to Rex Un
derwood, professor of violin in the
University, who emphasized heartily
that in hearing Thibaud the Eugene
music-lovers will be hearing some
one who ranks with the very great
est.
Columbia Studies Unrest
A course in industrial unrest has
been started at Columbia university
which will include strikes and lock
outs of recent years.
MILLAGE TAX WILL AFFECT
HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
(Continued from page one)
2. Every state in the union main
tains higher education because early
in their respective histories, each
state set out to contribute its share
to the sum of human knowledge;
to the preservation of life, limb and
property, which are secured best
through general education; to the
perpetuation of the country's free
institutions. “Knowledge is the soul
of a republic.’’
3. Higher education is the public’s
great defense against the tyranny
of ignorance, arrogance, selfishness,
caste. Strike at education in Ore
gon or in any other country on this
earth, and instantly begin to Rus
sianize and Mexicanize that people.
We may not forget that charges for
public education are .premiums for
the insurance of institutional life.
When we consider the alternatives
to public education we can realize
that the tax for its support is a
small premium to pay.
4. Cripple public education and the
children of the rich immediately get
an immeasurable handicap over the
children of the poor; and at the same
time snobbery, aristocracy, reaction,
and a caste utterly inimical to de
mocracy begin to rise. There are
scores of great private institutions
for the children of the well-to-do;
there is but one Oregon Agricultural
College and one University of Ore
gon.
6. To cripple the University of
Oregon, the Oregon Agricultural
College and the Normal School by
permitting the millage bill to be de
feated, would cut deeply into the
material wealth of this state and of
every citizen who owns property, or
who hopes to own property. Uni

Stops in campaigning for the millage bill: •
1. Familiarize yourself with the subject. •
Know the needs of all three institutions. •
Remember comparisons and figures of growth in attendance and •
income. •
Have specific examples and reasons for need of new buildings. •
Know the facts about the men being lost from the faculty. •
Study the pamphlet furnished you. •
2. Register. •
Register as soon as you KO home. •
See that you receive a certificate entitling you to vote if •
away from home. •
Don’t forget the books close on April 20. •
3. (let your family and friends to register. •
Tell them how simple registration is. •
Realize that you are helping to save the University by such •
work. •
4. Do personal work. •
The millage bill will fail unless people know the facts. Reach •
the people you are doubtful about. Kind out why people will not •
vote for the bill. Use facts, not argument. You have plenty of •
them. Every one of our friends should be a friend of the bill. •
•'lake sure he is while you are home. 'York among the high •
school people. They are as vitally interested as you. •
5. If asked to talk to gatherings in your town do not hesi- •
tnte. You know the facts. You know the need. That is ull the •
occasion demands. •

be done. If your town is against the bill it may be still won •
over. •

versities and colleges by scientific
experiments and resultant savings
and increases in the wealth of the
state, pay for themselves a good
mapy times every year. Futhermore,
there are thousands of easterners
turning their eyes to the west who
will be turned to other localities if
Oregon’s voters strike at public edu
cation. These people almost invari
ably are the kind who demand full
opportunities for their children. They
are successful farmers and business
men and manufacturers. They will
not shy at taxes for education any
more than they would fail to buy
fire and life insurance.
In conclusion, may I point out
that it is the peculiar right and duty
of students to champion the cause
served by the millage bill. Students
are in a position to know the facts,
and hence may speak with authority.
They are also the beneficiaries and
trustees of education. Let them
therefore cram their minds with the
facts—there is plenty of literature—
and then use these facts that all
the home folks may register and
work for the vote for the bill.
