A program of welcome, arranged especially for new students, consisting of short addresses by the-President of the University, and the president of the As sociated Students is to be given, along with a short program of music* Last year, due to various reasons, attendance at the weekly assemblies fell off towards the end of the year, and every ef fort is being made this year to avoid a repitition of this action oil the part of the students of the University. Assemblies this year will be limited to fifty minutes, starting at eleven, and dismissing promptly at eleven-fifty. Every new student must attend the opening assembly this year, and every assembly thereafter if possible. The Thurs day morning meetings in Villard offers the only opportunity fhr the students and the faculty of the University to meet to gether. It is certainly not too much to ask of every student td attend these weekly meetings, when the University and stu dent authorities are bending every effort to make these meet ings both entertaining and. profitable. THE DRINKING FOUNTAIN. -Claeses graduating from the University since the first class of five students left its alma mater in 1878 have presented to the school conspieious tokens which have guaranteed perma nent remembrance of the departing students. In keeping with tliC spirit of service the seniors of 1920 installed a memorial useful to the entire student body, faculty, and visitors. The drinking fountain in front of the Library fills a long-felt want. To new students and visitors, the campus is merely a jilot of ground, artistically decorated with trees, shrubs, and vines. Nature has been generous with her assistance to make Oregon beautiful. However, aside from the natural beauty, old stud ents and returning graduates have a peculiar interest in the trees and campus memorials. Most of these are footprints ip- the sand of time—moments which commemorate the time when classes entered life’s battlefield. Professor Condon, the grand old man of olden Oregon, orig inated the idea of planting trees as class memorials. A tree obtained by him, an English laurel, and planted by the class of *78, is still gfowing.near the west walk leading from Viliarl to Ueady- Trees Were planted, or claimed bv the graduating closes up to 1900, excepting the class of ’93 which placed a.large symetrical stone from one of the neighboring hills near the famous Condon oaks. Seniors of later years were apparently desirous of more lading remembrances—ones which would not perish when the scythe of Father Time ended the life cycle of trees. The Uni versity seal near the front entrance of Villard, the Senior foun tain, the Senior bench, walks, statues in various buildings, and the drinking fountain are memorials erected by the classes of more recent years. But to the class of 1920, present students of the University of Oregon owe a vote of appreciation for the presentation of tlie only outdoor drinking "fountain on the campus, which com bines utility with ornamentation. All freshmen must take part in the annual “Frosh Parade,” scheduled for this afternoon. The parade will furnish those of you who are unacquainted with Oregon traditions an oppor tunity to hear of them; it is annually the first outcropping of Oregon Spirit. This parade is one of the big events of college life, and vain regrets will be the reward of any who miss it. This is your first chance to show yourselves, freshmen. Be there! OREGON WILL UNIFY COURSES IN MEDICINE Plans for a unification of the Univer sity of Oregon Pre-medical course with the course given in the School of Medi cine in 'Portland will be announced in the near future by Dr. Harry Beal Tor rey.

Dr. Torrey, in his position as director of research, is enlarging the field of study in the School of Medicine so that men may be trained for this work as well as for the practice of medicine. He hopes to be able to make some very definite progress in this new undertaking within the next few months.
