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.

WHAT A DOLLAR WILL DO.
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.
