Attitude of Societies Lauded by Prof. Sweetser. “Yes, I find many persons interested and anxious to join a flower preserva tion society,” said Professor A. R. Sweetser, head of the department of botany, who has just returned from a trip through southern Oregon where he spoke to about 900 high school students at Grants Pass, Central Point, Medford, ami Ashland as part of the University extension division’s campaign for the preservation of Oregon’s native shrubs and flowers. At Medford, Professor Sweetser addressed also, 60 members of the Jackson county association for the preservation of natural scenery. The Jackson county society perfected its organization at the meeting last week when Professor Sweetser was asked to speak. Its aim is to preserve the scenic beauty of the county, espe cially along highways and in camping places Members of the society are men and women from all parts of the county, who plan to protect flowers, birds, natural wooded sections and streams which are the county’s attractions. Un sightly sign boards will be kept off the highways, also. On Thursday and Friday of this week, Professor Sweetser will speak to the high school and grades at Hood River and to the Mental Culture club in Port land. School children are not asked to sign the cards for membership in the so ciety for preservation of plants as only adult members of clubs are presented with the cards. Professor Sweetser’s most recent ar ticle in the Sunday Oregonian illustrated scries, relates the life functions of plants, using the wild mustard as an example.

GRIEG CONCERTO TO BE RARE MUSICAL TREAT Mrs. Thacher Will Give Composition of High Quality Tonight, With Orchestra Accompaniment. I "While it is one of the real standard concertos, the Gjjieg Concerto >o be played by Mrs. Jane Thacher tonight, is yet musically brilliant, melodic, and easy !for the listener to grasp. There is not a dull moment in it.” That is the characterization of made by Rex Underwood, director of the Uni versity Orchestra which will accompany Mrs. Thacher in the central number of the concert to be given in Villard hall tonight beginning at S:30. The remain der of the entertainment will be made up of orchestral music. Few people realize the enormoi * amount of work required to get up a concert of the kind offered this evening Mr. Underwood said. The concerto is difficult to play and difficult of accom paniment. “And yet judging from rereahsals, it would not be too optimistic to predict that this will be one of the real musical events of the season,” the director said. It was the intention to give the con certo a little later because of the nu Imerous activities going on now, accord ing to Mr. Underwood. However, the accompaniment had to be sent on to the University of Minnesota where the num ber will be given in a few weeks. The program is to begin at 8:30 so as not to interfere with the basketball game. The two orchestral numbers which will complete the program are “Pomp and Circumstance March” by Elgar and “Prelude” by Rachmaninoff. No admission will be charged.
