THE GONE AND LOAFED CLUB. “It is better to have gone and loafed than never to have gone at all,” as recently paraphrased by a college senior, is the motto of a great class of college students who spend four years of their youths at the expense of state and parents en joying the social activities of college life, and accumulating only such knowledge which is unavoidable in their associa tion with real students. ! The president of an eastern university some years ago made the astounding assertion that it is, or should be, to study and learn that a young man goes to college. From the prominence given athletic and social activities by the daily papers we would judge that the honorable president had been deluded.i; . By succumbing to the various attractions incidental to a college course, by forgetting that the achievement of the muscle is only ephemeral, while the work of the brain adds another bit to the great coral reef of civilization, many col lege students “pass thru” college only to demonstrate the fact that they are immune from education. Purposeless youths of means, money-squandering youths who should have stttyed home and helped pay off the mortgage on the old homestead, young ladies who go to allege to bathe in*, the social environment, are all charter members of the “Gone and Loafed Club.” It is Very improbable that’there is a student at Oregon that has been sent here for any other purpose than to study and learn. Great sacrifices at home have made it ijossible for many of us to attend this University. We have been sent here with the hope that contact with thinking men and women and .the stored knowledge of all ages will make us better citizens and more efficient leaders in the onward march of humanity. The action of coast conference officials in refusing to ad mit U. 8. 0. into the conference was the best action that could possibly have been taken. Those who are familiar with the southern institution say that the standard of the school is none too high, and is far below that of other members of the conference, not alone in scholarship, hut. in athletics as v.vll. The officials are to he congratulated on their move, which will tend to keep coast athletics clean.

To the Editor: In this morning's Oregonian I read the story of a Canadian infantryman, who lay in a Portland rooming house, sick almost to death, from ancient wounds. Apparently lie knew no one in the strange city. But according to the story, he was able to whisper the name of the Red Cross, and to ask that it bg notified. ' The story said no more; for the story was old. The reading public knew that the Red Cross would come, and that in time through the ministra tions made possible by its nurse, the soldier would be put on his feet again. If the Oregonian were to contain daily all the stories of human interest and human tragedy that end with, “The Red i Cross was notified,” it would hold little else. Naturally few of the stories see print, but those that do, serve as remind ers of the great silent work the “Moth er of Men” is doiug. Some it does under our noses; some in the uttermost reach es of the world—the Mother of Men knows no bounds' of distance or religion or race. This is Red Cross membership week on the campus. For $1.00 a year, men and women may become partners in the relief of suffering. One would hope that .ill who can will hasten to join.
