Professor Griffin Points Fact
In Magazine Article.
Professor Eldon Griffin, head of the
history department of the University of
Oregon, has written an article in the
Historical Outlook for March, entitled,
"Why Study Far Eastern History, and
How';” In this article he points out
the necessity for more attention to the
history of the Orient in college test
books. Mr. Griffin says that anyone who
looks into these books with a view to
finding the situation in the Orient thor
oughly taken up in all its phases will
find them sadly inadequate. Robinson’s
and Beard’s ‘‘Development of Modern
Europe” and Hayes’ “Political and So
cial History of Modern Europe” are
perhaps the two that treat the Orient in
the most all-around way, but they do
not go far enough.
Mr. Griffin suggests that in addition
to the improvement of the general texts
special texts for colleges be made and
that source books, stereopticon lectures
and collected stories be used. In this
way sane and satisfactory solutions of
the problems can be reached.
To secure any new element in the cur
riculum of the schools it is necessary to
work down through the universities. In
the matter of the Orient, Pacific coast
universities are privileged because of lo
cation, economic interests, and social
problems. At the same time they are;
handicapped by race prejudice, and in
order that this prejudice shall not pre
dominate it is suggested that others in
the nation lend a hand.
In speaking of Orientals coming to
this country to study Mr. Griffin thinks
that if they come when they are of col
lege age and associate with American
students new ideas will be gained by
both. The one bad feature of this is
that upon returning to his own country
the Oriental who has entered with all his
spirit into our way of living is apt to
find himself frowned upon by his family
because of the conservatism of its insti
tutions.
A special advisor ior urientai stu
dents who has lived in the Far East and
understands the pathos of the situation
would be a valuable member of any uni
versity where such students congregate
in large numbers,” said Mr. Griffin.
“Our own undergraduates would bene
fit by this association as much as the
visitors, and perhaps demand increas-'
ingly careful training before going
abroad to promote our commercial, dip
lomatic, and other interests. Personal
eo-operation and mutual appreciation
will be needed if we are to have a real
Commonwealth of Nations.”

John Stark Evans, professor of organ
1 h thet,Lmversit>- sehool of music, and
Word r nTtat*’ “The Sevcn Last
fjords of Christ,” by DuBois, given by
the soloists and choir of the Methodist
church under the direction of Mr. Evans
Anade the Methodist church the musical
center of attraction last Sundav after
noon and evening. The church was
fdled to overflowing at both concerts.
^ asn’t that ‘Lamentation’ just
,wonderful?” “And that ‘Sonata’-why
•Mr. Evans seems to be able to get al
most anything he wants to out of that
organ.” “Rex Underwood just filled the
church with the tones from his violin.”
Such were some of the exclamations
Hieard while leaving the church after the
organ recital. Nothing but commenda
tion was heard.
Rex Underwood was the soloist. His
rendition of “Meditation” from “Thais”
caused much praise. Several were heard
to remark, “I wish he would play
oftener.”
Music fitted to the text and text fitted
to the season and the whole given with
J-eal musicianship was the characteriza
tion the cantata, “The Last Seven Words
of Christ. ’ The balance of the organ
and the chorus was in good taste. The
precise words of the chorus showed the
results of able direction on the part of
Mr. Evans, choirmaster.
The heaviest part of the solo work
fell to Glen Morrow, baritone, and
much praise has been accorded him, for
the way in which he acquitted himself.
Madame Rose McGrew sang her parts
with the usual degree of excellence.
