The Jaw library of the University is to he increased by some ten or twelve thousand volumes, the law collection of William Davis Fenton, a Portland attorney, given to the law school of the University as a memorial to Kenneth Lucas Fen ton, a son who died a few years ago. The gift cannot he valued in terms of money.; it might easily be called a priceless and invaluable addition to the law library of the state Uni versity. The bequest is a collection which took Mr. Fenton two score years to gather. No one ever will be able to express in words the deep appreciation which Oregon students feel to wards the donor of this library. In refusing to allow the col lection to he sold and scattered, Mr. Fenton has done a real service, which cannot fail to touch the hearts of the future lawyers of the state. It is such gifts as this which cause Oregon students to hold such a feeling of pride in their University. Oregon stu dents honor the friends of their University. Oregon has reached its present high plane because of these friends. The law school of the University of Oregon can seek no better recommendation than that it was selected as the home of this collection. It is a gift which puts the law library a score of years ahead. ---( How is your vocabulary? Several freshman students of English composition offer some peculiar definitions for “big words” in our language. The disclosures are funny. But if you can do no better yourself, don’t, laugh! With two more new buildings opened, the old cry of Vcramped quarters” isn’t heard so much any more. SUMMER TERM POPULAR Tan Per Cent of Regular Students Plan To Attend Session. Approximately 10 per cent of the reg ular session students of the University will remain for the summer term, ac cording to Dean Dyment. Of these it is estimated that one-third will register in the lower division, while two-tldrds are expected to take advanced or grad uate work. “It is a good thing that regular stu dents should stay for the summer term,” said Dean Dyment. “Especially is jil desirable that students in professional or pre-professional work s h o u 1 d strengthen their foundations by this ex tra six weeks.” He then explained that this' session should be considered the first half of a fourth term, instead of an entirely separate summer session. An invitation to become a member of the faculty of the summer term has been extended to a well-known professor of English literature in an eastern univer sity, and a reply is expected within a few days. SYRACUSAN WILL TEACH Dr. H. A. Eaton, Head of English Lit erature, to be Here Summer Term. Horace A. Eaton, I’ll. IV, head of the department of English literature in Syracuse University, will give courses in the summer term, it is announced by Earl Kilpatrick, director of the exten sion division.

The need of a new infirmary with a capacity of 24 to .'!() beds, additional workers on the sttaff, and additions to the consultation staff including a surgeon, dentist and eye specialist, are some of the points made in the annual report of the student health committee submit ted by Dean Bovard, chairman. New lines of work have been taken over by this committee during the year, the report sets forth, including increased surgical and diagnosis service, and the responsibility for the examination of all entering freshmen, 00 per cent of whom have had the medical tests. The report for women shows 00 per cent. Three times as many operations are reported as in the previous year. The report adds that the infirmary has en deavored to help the poorer students as far as possible. Toward this end much new apparatus has been installed, in cluding expensive surgical equipment such as an X-ray machine, operating table and instruments. An important endeavor of the past year has been the development of the student health service proper, which has accomplished much good. The causes contributing to poor health have been examined and advice, full treatment and medical services have been put at their disposal, thus making for better health. ★---* Announcements * —--— ->—* Student Council — Meeting tonight in Dr. Gilbert's room in the library; 7:30 o’clock.

Forrest Littlefield has been appointed by the University executive committee to succeed Warren Kays as business manager of the Oregana. Kays has withdrawn from school. “The work on the Oregana is going on rapidly and satisfactorily,” said Grad uate Manager McClain yesterday. “Everything is looking fine, and an es pecially good Oregana is promised.” Wanna McKinney, editor of the year book .has received a sample of the cover design for the book, done in the colors which have been decided upon. “The cover is absolutely different from any thing the Oregana has ever used,” said Miss McKinney. “It is done in forest tones of green and brown with a touch of Oregon lemon-yellow. I consider it especially attractive.” she went on. “It exceeds even my expectations.” The page borders, which Miss McKin ney describes as “typically Oregon.” are all printed, and the subject matter will bo placed very soon. These page bor ders have been designed by the Oregana art staff, and according to the editor, they harmonize perfectly with the cover design. Much of the composition matter is set up, the proof read and returned to Koke & Tiffany, Eugene, who are doing the printing. All pictures have been en graved with the exception of two or three art plates. In the literary department of the book, will appear a short poem, “Looking Down On Oregon.” by Miss Grace Edg ington. Tn the opinion of the editors, this poem is one of the best things in the annual. Several of the routine de partments have been condensed, said Miss McKinney, so as to allow more space for the other departments. “Tile staff is endeavoring to got all copies of the book out for Junior .Week end,” Miss McKinney said. “We hope, everyone who has subscribed will bo able to get his Oregana on May 20, 21 or 02 ” NEW RESIDENCE HALL OPENED FOR WOMEN (Continued from Page 1.) of the porch to be open at night, and on damp days they can be closed. Formal Opening This Month. A feature of the new hall is the large recreation room directly beneath the drawing room. Here the basement has been fitted tip with cozy chairs ,a piano, rugs and shaded lights. A large fire place, in cream tiles as is the one in the main drawing room, is at one end of the room. A hardwood floor will per mit the girls to use the room for danc ing and recreational purposes. In the basement are situated the linen rooms, the laundry and drying rooms, and the trunk room. Everything is modern, and every possible conveni ence has been arranged for the girls. The girls will have their dining room service at the Friendly hall cafeteria, with the exception of Miss Withycombe and a group of the girls, who will dine at Hendricks hall. A formal openiug of Susan Campbell hall is anticipated during the mouth of April. Uy that time the gardeners hope to have the lawns around the building seeded, the walks arranged, and the set ting complete for the second addition to the University living quarters for women. WHY ff NOT PHIL-UP The Co-op Store Opposite BRITISH SAID TO USE ‘BARNACLES’ IN EYES Altruist Called Mountain Climber, and Trite a Kind of Fish, in Miss Edgington's Class. Can you picture a well-groomed Eng lishman tacking down the Strand through the London fog with a barnacle in his eye? Undoubtedly he would experience rough sailing, but such a sight is a pos sibility because a pupil in .Miss Edging ton's English class has defined the word “barnacle” to mean an English eye piece. Words with similar sounds caused much difieulty in a vocabulary test given sometime ago by Miss Edgington. To judge from tile definitions given to some of the words. Webster was entirely wrong when he compiled his volume of verbal information. For instance, an “altruist” is a mountain climber; larynx is a stone of somewhat precious nature; “trite” is a kind of a fish, or the lining of a cow’s stomach; “lave” is Irish for leave, and an asterisk is an insect or a flower. The word “barnacle’ 'also has another meaning, one which savors a little more of salt water. Barnacle. pro claims one student — a wearer of the 1024 style campus sombrero—is a sail or’s glass for observing distant objects. Likewise, the word “altruist” can be used effectively to make an ambiguous statement since it has several mean ings. Besides being a mountain climber an altruist is also one who does not be lieve in future life. Persons who peruse the literature of Blackstone might be interested to know that a clairvoyant is a lawyer; or if they are not satisfied with that definition of ! the word, farther down the list of er rors tabulated by Miss Edgington, clair voyant is interpreted as pertaining to lightness. STUDENT DANCE FRIDAY Womans’ Building To Be Scene of First Frolic of Spring Term. “(Jet your dates, boys, for Friday night’s student body danee. to be held in the womans’ building.” So says John Houston, chairman of the student dance j committee. The dance will be the first to be held in the new building and if present plans of the committee are carried out it will be quite an event. An eight piece or chestra and a number of novel features are among the distinctive points in the committee plans. Friday’s affair will be the first dance of the spring term and will take the place of the usual open house pro gram. The dance will start promptly at eight and the price of admission will be 50 cents. COLLAR ClueU,Peabody £. Co. Inc. Troy. N.Y. What Next? Dennison Crepe In All Shades.

The Organization Service Bureau is the repository of the most complete data with respect to organization methods. This information is distributed by the bureau through letters and the spoken word, to commercial organizations. Years spent in studying the subject have qualified Mr. Brown to render ex pert advice with respect to activities that can successfully be undertaken, and those that should be avoided by business bodies. Mr. Brown is known as an author of works on commercial organization. His publication, “Building and Maintaining a Local Chamber of Commerce.” has been widely circulated. This work is princi pally for the community which has no commercial organization and is endeav oring to establish one. It is of great value, however, to communities seeking to reorganize their chambers and o those desiring to study the most ap proved methods in organization structure and membership building.
