Melvin Solve, ’18 Honored By Selection; Only 20 Picked in United States Melvin Solve, Oregon graduate of '18 and at present an instructor in the department of rhetoric, has been awarded one of the twenty scholar ships given annually by the Ameri can- Scandinavian Foundation of New York. Mr. Solve will leave about the mid dle of July for Norway, where he will attend the University of Chris tiania. The scholarship covers a per iod of one academic year, during which time he will study literature and social science in conjunction with the other University work. The purpose of the scholarships which are offered annually is to send some of the best American men to the Scandinavian countries in order to give them an opportunity to be come acquainted with conditions there and in that way promote a feeling of friendship with the United States. Universities throughout this country are allowed to make rdfcom mendations each year. Mr. Solve, who comes from Bandon, Oregon, was an honor student in the depart ment of rhetoric. He was highly re commended by the University facul ty for the scholarship. The Nor wegian language, he says, he has not found difficult, owing to its resemblance to both English and German. All his studies during his year abroad will be conducted in Norwegian. During spare time opportunity is afforded l’or travel whereby the stu dents may familiarize themselves with the country which they are visiting.

Why is the pasage of the millage bill so urgent at this time, if the University has the same income it has had ever since 1913? Answer. The University has not the same income it had in 1913. It gets the same number of dollars, but its income when translated, as it has to be, into books, glass, chemi cals, apparatus, printing, heat, light, power, ink, paper, chairs, building, janitor service and instruction, is only about half as much as it was in 1913,. Q. Cannot the University, by ex treme economics, absorb this de crease of 50 per cent in income and go on somewhat as before. A. Fifty per cent is an enormous decrease to ask any concern to ab sorb. The first condition would be tb go back to something like 1913 conditions. Q. What would that mean? A. Well, there were 691 students in 1913. About 300 of these were freshmen, leaving some 400 for the other three classes. Today the Uni versity has 1745 students. About 150 will graduate in June, leaving about 1600 for the senior, junior and soph omore classes as they will be next October. If we are to go back to strictly the 1913 basis, the Univer sity must reduce fhis number from 1600 to 400. The University could keep this 400 of the present student body, eliminating the rest, and ad mit a small Freshman class like that of 1913. Q. Could wo give a high type of education to the greatly decreased student body, if the University decid ed to try to turn the clock backward to 1913? A. With the same Income, the University could provide about half the facilities, accommodations and instructions for 691 students as it spent in the year 1913-14 when the dollar had its full value. Q. How could the University cut down the list of present students who will want to come back in October from 1600 to 400? A. It can keep the rich and ex clude the struggling, self-supporting student by charging high fees; or it can apply sever examinations and limit atendance to the present “H” and "S” students, thereby excluding the man of average ability, who often develops into the best citizen In after life. Q. Could not these students go elsewhere; perhaps to attend in stitutions in other states? A. Other states are in the same position as Oregon. The accommo dations in October are likely to be inadequate for thei rown students. The self-supporting student, more over, cannot afford to travel several hundred miles and pay the extra fees usually charged students from other states. Failure to pass the millage bill would mean shutting the door of opportunity in the face of hun dreds of young men—not some time in the distant future, but this very summer.
