E. W. HOPE RESIGNS
AS DEAN OE LAW, TO
RE-ENTER PRACTICE
Head of School Expects To Go
To Colorado; Plans Not
Yet Definite
GREAT GROWTH IS SHOWN
Registration of 100 Expected Next
Year; Library Contains
5000 Works
Dean E. W. Hope, head of the law
school in the University, is resigning
his position here to engage in the
practice of law in Colorado, for which
state he will leave in June. This an
noucement was made last evening, and
came as a surprise to his friends here.
He has not handed in his official re
signation to President Campbell as
yet, but will probably do so when the
board of regents meet in June. No
successor to Dean Hope has been nam
ed, but one will probably be named
at the board of regents’ meeting.
Dean Hope has not definitely de
cided where he will enter law prac
tice, but is thinking of going to Den
ver. Insufficient remuneration here
is the reason for his resignation, he
states. Coming to the University of
Oregon in 1913, from Los Angeles
where he had been engaged in the law
practice, Dean Hope became a mem
ber of the law faculty of the Univer
sity. At that time the school was
in Portland, under the direction of the
late Judge C. U. Gantenbein, and it
consisted chiefly of night classes.
Law School Grows Fast
Under the direction of Dean Hope
the law school has grown to be one
of the most important schools in the
University. He was the only profes
sor here the first year, but the faculty
nas graauany grown until it now in
cludes three full time and two part
time professors. E. R. Bryson, of the
Smith and Bryson law firm, and Dr.
James D. Barnett of the University
faculty are the part time instructors.
In 1915 the board of regents de
cided to move the law school to the
Eugene campus. This year it has had
the distinction of being admitted to
the Association of American Law
Schools. Only 50 schools in the Unit
ed States are members of the as
sociation, and this places the school
here in class one. Any student going
from here can be admitted to eastern
law schools with full time law credit.
When the University law school
was started, there were no full-time
law students, but this term there are
nearly 70; a registration of 100 is ex
pected in this department next year.
The school started with no books;
now it has a library of 5000 books and
pamphlets.
Graduate of Pennsylvania
Dean Hope received his A. B. de
gree in 1898 from the University of
Pennsylvania and his M. A. from Le
land Stanford in 1903; his Ph. D. from
Johns Hopkins in 1905 He has also
been a student at the universities of
Berlin and Munich.
Bats In Old Deady
At Peace No More;
Scientists On Trail
Bats in some belfries may never
be disturbed, but the bats in the
Deadv hall “belfry” are certainly
not in this class. Hubert Pres
cott, a major in the zoology de
partment, is right on their trail.
This trail is a little white ladder
leading from the third floor to the
land of beams, bats, and cobwebs.
Until this week these night kings
reigned supreme in their lofty tow
er. But their quiet has at last
been disturbed, for the inquisitive
Prescott, with the aid of a few
other men from that department,
is seeking into even the innermost
corners of their retreat. It is a
natural laboratory, and Dr. John
P. Bovard, head of the zoology de
partment. Very few people know
anything about the general life of
bats, their habits, feeding, nest
ing, and the feeding of their
young. These are a few of the
points the boys are looking into.
Two kinds of bats were found,
a long-eared type, and a short-ear
ed type. The boys didn’t say
whether or not the long-eared
ones were the studious ones that
had strained their ears listening
to lecturers below discussing their
habits and history. At any rate
hundreds of the black fellows
were found, hanging on the beams
in the attic, and literally covering
the place up there.
PATTERSON TO TEACH HERE
Graduate of ’17 to Bring Bride For
Summer Session
Chalmer Patterson, ’17, of Eugene,
who is now an instructor in the de
partment of physics in Albany College,
will teach here during the summer
school session. The early part of June,
he and Mary F. Irvine, a graduate of
Albany College and now a teacher of
music there, will be married.
Mr. Patterson and his bride will
make their home in Albany, but will
both be in Eugene for the summer.
Miss Irvine will take some work in
the University.
Mr. Patterson was an assistant in
the physics department in the Univer
sity and last summer took some work
in preparation for his master’s degree.
COMMUNITY PLAN BEGUN
New Phase of Extension Wqrk Being
Introduced by Girls
Uldawalla Basler and Florence Fu
ruset are starting what may be a de
finite part of the extension division’s
work if their work proves successful.
Miss Basler is coaching a play to be
given at Wendling as part of the pro
gram at the opening of the L.L.L.L.
hall at that place, and Miss Furuset
is coaching a number of children in a
drill at Marcola.
This is a start toward the commun
ity work plan now being followed by
a number of colleges and universities
in their extension programs, and has
proved successful in a number of
places.
Exhibit of Design Praised
Highly By Portland Expert
Batiks, Posters, Hat Boxes, and
Book Cases Fine, Says
Miss Wuest
Designs for batiks, hat boxes, de
signs for materials, vases, book cov
ers, and all the other places where
a design may be applied, are on ex
hibition at the architecture building
this week. On the second floor in the
large class room reserved for ex
hibits arranged on the wall are the
exquisite products of the classes in
art.
“This is the finest exhibit I have
ever seen at the University of Ore
gon.” said Miss Esther Wuest, super
intendent of art in the Portland pub
lic schools, who is in Eugene for the
purpose of seeing the exhibit. “It
■seams that they have the strong

SHORT MUSICALS PLANNED
Half-Hour Recitals Free to Public
Will Be Given Next Year
Half-hour musical recitals, open to
the public, and absolutely free of
charge, will be a new feature of the
! extensive program planned by the
| music department for next fall, ac
; cording to Dr. John Landsbury, dean
of music. The programs will be held
l once a week at some convenient hour
i such as from 7:15 to 7:45 in the even
ing so that everyone can attend.
“The purpose of the recitals,” said
! Dr. Landsbury, “will be to keep the
i students in touch with good music, as
well as afford an opportunity for ad
! vanced music students to appear in i
i recital.”
The recitals will probably be held
in the new music building which will
be ready by next fall.
R. JL BOOTH FINK
FIELD IPS HIDE BF
ZOOLOGY STUDENTS
Museum Work Given New Start}
Plans For Development
Commenced
TWO SPRING OUTINGS TAKEN
Biological Survey of Region Near
Mt. Pitt to Be Conducted
this Summer
R. A. Booth, state highway commis
sioner and business man of Eugene,
is the friend of the University who
has financially supported the spring
field trips made by Dr. John F. Bovard.
head of the zoology department, and
by students in that department. These
trips, of which there were two, were
made to the coast, and to Siltcoos
Lake, near the coast.
Mr. Booth has long been interested
in this sort of work, said Dr. Bovard,
and has regretted that the museum
and field work of" the University was
compelled to decline during the war.
Through Mr. Booth’s generosity the
museum work has been given another
start, he continued, and it is planned
to develop it as part of the depart
mental work.
A summer trip .o southern and
southwestern Oregon is being planned
and Mr. Booth will finance it in part,
according to Dr. Bovard. The Univer
sity has practically no specimens from
this part of the state, he said. The
museum department of the University
of California has studied the birds
and mammals in the region just over
the line from Oregon, and when those
on the Oregon side have been studied,
the two surveys can be correlated,
said Dr. Bovard.
Mt. Pitt Survey Planned
We expect to make a biological
survey, he continued, of the region
around Mt. Pitt, which is sometimes
cabled Mt. McLaughlin. Harlan Holm
es and Hubert Prescott, majors in the
zoology department, and Dr. Bovard
or some one to represent him, will
make the summer trip. They plan to
start as soon as commencement is
over, and will be gone for six or eight
weeks. During the expiditlon they will
make collections of birds and mam
mals, and if possible of reptiles.
On the first spring trip, from March
28 to April 3, Dr. Bovard, Harlan
Holmes, and Hubert Prescott obtained
89 speciments. These were of the bird
and animal life around Siltcoos Lake,
on the coast, and were all additions
to the University museum, said Dr.
Bovard. The Townsend Warbler was
one of the rarest birds found on this
trip.
New Specimens Obtained
Eighty-seven specimens were secur
ed on the second trip to the coast,
from April 30 to May 3. All of these
were very interesting material, said
Professor Bovard, and were new to the
collection here. Most of them were
water birds among which were the
Western Sand-piper, Red Back Sand
piper, Alaskan Sand-piper, and the
Greater Yellow Legs.
The second trip was made during
the great spring migration of /the
birds, he said, and the sight was won
derful. Thousands of birds flew over,
the air was filled with them from
early morning to late at night.
All for Research Work
These speclments were all study
skins, for research work, said Dr. Bo
vard, and not for show purposes. At
present the department has no place
for mounted specimens, and they will
not be mounted. They can be mounted
later, he said, if museum room is se
cured, but they are more valuable for
research work than for show.
Mr. Booth, the man who has made
all this work possible, and who by his
help has given the University museum
work a new start, has lived in Oregon
most of his life, and has been heavily
interested in th8 timber business for
many years. He has long been inter
ested in hunting and fishing, and in
all outdoor life. Mr. Booth has given
liberally to the endowment fund of
Willamette University. This is his
first gift to the University for scientif
ic work.
OREGON NINE LEADERS
IN NORTHWEST, THIRD
Team Wins 10 of Season’s 18
Games, Breaks Even With
Stanford; Beats O.A.C.
BERG FANS 71 IN 10 GAMES
Lind Bats .423, Gets 5 Homers; Skeet
and Knudsen Next; Steers, Berg
and Leslie Rank High
The varsity baseball team finished
the season as northwest conference
champions and tied with Stanford for
third honors In the Pacific coast con
j ference with a percentage of .600. In
j the coast conference Oregon won 7
J and lost 7 games and Stanford won
! 5 and lost 5. California claims first
honors in the coast conference, having
won the six conference games which
were played. With a record of 8 wins
and 6 defeats in conference circles the
University of Washington nine places
second in the coast conference. Oregon
and Stanford are tied for third; O.A.
C. placed fourth, and Washington
State in the cellar
Besides Oregon the northwest con
ference is made up of O.A.C., Washing
ton State, Idaho and Whitman.
The Oregon team’s season record
counting games with Whitman and the
University of Idaho is 10 victories out
of 18 games played, or an average of
.565. In the northwest and coast con
i
I fCrences Oregon won all four of her
i games with the Washington State col
legt nine and broke even with the O.
A.C. team in the annual four game
series, each team winning two games.
The University of Washington claim
ants for the 1920 title took three out
of four games from the varsity, while
Stanford captured the only two games
played with the University this year.
Berg Fans 71
Art Berg was strikeout king for the
season. In the ten games in which
he worked the big southpaw struck out
71 batters. He won five out of the
seven games which he started and
worked effectively as relief pitcher
throughout the season. In the last
week of the season he pitched three
games in four days, winning two and
losing to the Aggies by a 3 to 2 score
in the last game of the series after
blanking them 4 to 0 the day before.
Francis Jacobberger won four out of
five games which he started. He struck
out 18 men during the season. Jacob
son struck out 29 men in the 6 games
in which he worked. The big right
hander was nosed out by a one-point
lead in two of his games. He looked
at his best as a relief pitcher in the
second O.A.C. game
Batting honors for the season go
to Captain Herm Lind, varsity first
sacker who pounded opposing.pitchers
for a season’s average of .423. Skeet
Manerud, lead off man and shortstop,
is second with .381 for the season.
Knudsen came in third among the
varsity sluggers. His season’s mark
was .362. Reinhart was next with .333.
Leslie, Steers and Berg also ranked
high, their averages being .290, .276,
and .272 respectively.
Lind Leads In Homers
Captain Lind leads the home run
hitters easily with 6 circuit swats to
his credit. Twi of these in the first
game with the Aggies spelled defeat
for Jimmy Richardson’s men. Man
erud, Knudsen and Vince Jacobberger
each connected for a home run during
I the season.
Carl Knudsen, right fielder, leads in
three baggers with a total of six. Bill
Steers follows close on his heels with
five. Spike Leslie connected for three
three-baggers, while Lind and Berg
each got one. Captain Lind annexed
six two-bagge|T5 in addition to his
quintet of home runs. Steers, Rein
hart, Knudsen, Fox and V. Jacobber
ger got two apiece, while Manerud
and Leslie were content with one.
McPherson College has organized
an anti-tobacco society. It recently
made several trips into the country
for the purpose of converting country
folks.
Cushions Refused;
Fender Seats For
Senior Picnickers
Those sedate, long-faced, and
noble browed, people who wander
with scholarly steps across the cam
pus are the seniors. For four
years they have awed the incom
ing babes into subject slavery;
for four years they are supposed
to have dazzled the eyes of the
school with their shining faces
and superior intellects.
But even a senior is capable of
really enjoying himself occasion
ally. Tuesday was the date of
the annual senior picnic, when
every senior cast his books into
a corner, care to the wind, and
ate pickles and ice cream cones.
One of the big trucks ready to
carry them out into the country
stood by the street car tracks.
A car came along. A tall red •
headed girl rushed out, hailed the
eonductr, and begged^ a ride.
Then she and her companion;
climbed onto the cow catcher!, ^
and thus seated in state becom
ing to their class, rode several
blocks. The sight was viewed by ■
many, and circumstantial evidence
shows that Alys Sutton and Jean
nette Moss really did ride thus.
VAUDEVILLE CALLED OFF
Junior Class Cancels Stunt Show
Because of Conflicting Dates
The junior vaudeville which was to
have been given the latter part of the
spring term has been definitely called
oft', according to Johnny Houston,
chairman of the committee on stunts
for the show. Conflicting dates with
the dramatic department and the late
ness of picking out a suitable play
were given as reasons for not putting
on the performance this year.
“There is no reason in the world
why we couldn't put on as good a
show as the Oregon Agricultural col
lege, but we simply started too late
in the year,” said Houston.
The committee sent to Portland for
a number of plays from which to pick
one suitable for the junior circus but
none of them were desirable. Plans
for a junior vaudeville were first
started prior to the spring vacation,
but owing to so many college activities
little time could be spent on stunts
and features for the show.
BUSINESS POSITIONS OPEN
Commerce Students Offered Job With
Montgomery, Ward & Co.
R. C. Moore, representing Montgom
ery Ward & Co., was on the campus
Monday interviewing students of the
commerce department with the inten
tion of selecting some of them as fu
ture executives in its new store. The
company is erecting and equipping a
complete branch store on the old Lew
is and Clark exposition grounds in
Portland.
Mr. Moore said that previous ex
perience in the Chicago plant has
demonstrated the fact that commerce
graduates are better fitted for the
work than any others. He said that
if the men he caine here to get ac
quainted with thought that they
would like the work they could come
to Portland and see the new building
and talk with the employees. Mr.
Moore said that approximately 1000
to 1200 people would be employed.
LIFE IN NEAR EAST TOLD
Dr. Lincoln Wirt Talks to Class
About Armenian Relief Work
Dr. Lincoln Wirt, of Berkeley, Cal
ifornia, who has Just returned from
Armenia and Syria, is a visitor on the
campus and addressed Dean Fox’s vo
cational guidance class Tuesday morn
ing in Vlllard hall, at 11 o’clock. Dr.
Wirt spoke on Armenian relief work,
and gave facts on this from his per
sonal observation of conditions in
those countries.
Dr. Wirt has had many interesting
experiences while in the near east.
After the British captured the city of
Jerusalem he rode over it in an aln
plane and dropped roses into the
streets.
LEI ABBOTT, '21
«CAPTAIN OF
VABSITY TRMTK TEAM
Nine Men Left This Afternoon
For Northwest Meet at
Pullman Saturday
LAST EVENT Of SEASON
Chances for Victory Are Slight;
Sport Writers Opine Oregon
May Win Six Events
Leith Abbott, a Junior from Ashland,
was elected captain of next year’s
track team at a meeting held Tues
day afternoon. Abbott is a natural
born runner and has for two years
performed on the varsity. He has al
ways featured in the half-mile and the
relay, and has won many honors in
these events.
The varsity track men, nine in num
ber, left Eugene at 1:50 this after
noon for Pullman, where the delegates
of the Northwest will vie for the
championship in a meet Saturday.
This is the last meet of the season
with the exception of the Olympic
tryouts at Pasadena, June 26. and P.
N. A. meet, June 12, in Portland.
The Oregon men making the trip
were Captain Hank Foster, Kenneth
Bartlett, Harry Hargreaves, Leith Ab
bott, Thomas Strachan, Glenn Walk
ley, Carl Knudsen, Sidney Hayslip and
Dick Sunderleaf. Bill Hayward went
to Salem by auto Wednesday, and will
join the. team in Portland.
Bill Hayward will not enter a reg
ular team in the P. N. A. hut several
members will enter as individuals.
Kenneth Bartlett, Hank Foster, Leith
Abbott, may enter the gathering with
the idea of later being selected for
the Olympic team tryouts.
Sport writers give Oregon the
chance to win six events in the north
west meet. Hank Foster in the 100
and 220 and the broad jump, Abbott In
the half-mile, and Bartlett in the dis
cus throw, ought to win considerable
points for the Eugene students. Fos
ter has defeated the athletes from
Washington and O. A. C. in his events
before this season bo he ought not to
have any trouble winning, as Wash
ington and O. A. C. will undoubtedly
furnish the strongest competition.
Bartlett will find his strongest op
ponent in Pope of Washington. He
took second to the Washington man
in the dual meet held in Seattle May
8, but Ken broke the coast record at
the Palo Alto gathering. Abbott will
be the only entry In the 880, end
his performance this season shows
he will deliver the goods.
The relay will probably be run by
Foster, Hayslip, Sunderleaf, and Ab
bott. Both Sunderleaf and Hayslip
are dependable milers, which makes
the team look fast. Since this team
won at Corvallis when the Aggies ran
away with all three places In the 440,
they ought to stand a good chance
for first place at Pullman.
If the dope is not scrambled too
thoroughly, O. A. C. will take the
lead in the mile, hurdle races, high
jump, shot put, javelin and the meet
—perhaps.
The University of Washington, Ida
ho, Montana, Washington State col
lege, O. A. C. and Oregon will enter
nine-man teams in the meet. Local
dopesters regard O.A.C. as the strong
!est team among the entrees, and will
■ probably win the meet, as Oregon's
i inexperience will not be able to cope
with Mike Butler’s veterans.
With perhaps the exception of the
meets in which he will enter as an
individual, Hank Foster will run his
last race next Saturday for his alma
mater. Foster has been a consistent
star since his advent at Oregon. All
this season he hqs been bearing the
brunt of the work in the speed events,
and in former years his work has been
enormous. No man has shown great
er fidelity and faithfulness to the
track work at Oregon than Hank
Foster.
Science Club Elects Officers
Dr. John F. Bovard, head of the de
partment or zoology, was elected pres
ident oC the Science club at its meet
ing last Tuesday evening. Dr. Ray
mond H. Wheeler, professor of psy
chology, was elected secretary. The
officers were also installed at this
meeting, and will hold office for the
ensuing year.
