MeArtluir. better known as TaF McArthur, who took his degree at <)-e gon in 1.1X11, has been a member of con gress since 391.*!, as representative from the third district, lie proved his ability while still in college by holding an as tounding number of executive positions such ns president of the A. S. U. (>., president of his class, manager of track, and of football, uud editor of the school publication.

A study of the catalogs of 57 institu- j tions of collegiate rank to determine j their practice in awarding grades below | passing shows that .‘17 follow the Oregon j practice of awarding a grade of comli- i tion, according to a report compiled by Hiss Grace Edgington. assistant profes sor of rhetoric. The investigation was made in connec tion with a controversy which is now go- j ing on in the faculty as to the merits and j justice of awarding more than two grades between V and failure. All rightful cases are amply cared for by the grades of in complete and withdrawn, in the opinion of some of the instructors, and any > other gAides are considered illogical and j unnecessary. In nearly all of the 37 institutions which award a grade of condition it is the common practice to hedge the grade in one of four ways: the mark following the re-examination must be considerably higher than passing to bo counted at all; a fee must he paid for the privilege of re-examination; only the lowest passing grade is given even if the paper writter warrants more; or credit points are sub tracted from the number already earned. Ten of the institutions have no grade below passing listed in their catalogs. Twenty-five of the 57 have three grades below passing and it appears that 18 have two such grades. The incomplete is commonly the one missing with those which have hut two mark's. The four grades found in the survey were condition, failure, incomplete, and absence. Marks for absence arc given for absence from examination or exces sive. absence in recitation periods in the case of a few institutions. Mo definite movement is on foot in the faculty to abolish the grade of condition and the investigation was made for the purpose of obtaining general information on the subject.

PRAISE LITERARY WORK Mable Holmes Parsons nn.l Edison Mar shall Attract Press Comment. Oregon faculty and students arc well represented in the literary world this year. Mrs. Malde Holmes l'arsons, a member of the faculty doing work with the extension division in Portland, has had printed l,y the Stratford Publishing company, a hook of poems. "Pastels and Silhouettes, ' The Portland Spectator remarks in its issue of .lanttary Sth that "Mis. Parsons is winning recognition in the east. She lias long been known in this part of the country for her clever, imaginative writings, stories, one-act plays, and verse.” Ldjson Marshall ,a student here u few .wars ago, and member of the India Tail Pelta fraternity, is ulso helping making Oregon famous. His latest novel, "The Strength ot the Piuesj" is a thrilling story of the iviid mountain life iu Oregon at the time of the femls. There have heer. many fa\orab!e criticisms of this work iu the east, uud perhaps that most lintworthy is the following from the Phil adelphia Press; "Marshall's work re calls the atmosphere of Jack London's stories of the wild and some of Key Beach's most thrilling talcs.” Advertisers ♦ ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦• +J Che "Rex Flora I Co.?
