‘•I pome to lay upon the altar of learn
ing this library, the collection of fift;
years,” said Judge George IT. Burnett
chief justice of the Oregon state suprenn
court, in assembly yesterday morning, ii
making the presentation of the Kennetl
Lucas Fenton Memorial library, the gif
of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Fenton, of Port
land, in memory of their son. This
library, comprising some 12,000 volumes
is one of the largest made to the Uni
versify during its entire history, and wil
increase the size of the present library
of the law school more than two-fold
Judge Fenton was unable to be present
personally yesterday, on account of ill
ness.
This valuable collection was made in
honor of Kenneth Lucas Fenton, who
was graduated from the law school in
Portland in 1012, and who died tn May
31, 1017. He received ids 'pro-legal
training at Stanford, and was graduated
from Yule in 1010. During his college
career he was prominent in athletics as
well as in academic work.
Fenton Was Leading Lawyer.
Judge Burnett was especially fitted to
make the address on behalf of Judge
Fenton. In speaking of their long friend
ship. he said that he and IV. D. Fenton
became close friends as boys. They at
tended school together, and later went
to McMinnville College together. After
their graduation, they stuched law. and
both were admitted to the bar in 1875.
In speaking of the work of Judge Fen
ton in the state of Oregon during the
past fifty years, Judge Burnett said that
his friend early became me of the lead
ing lawyers of the state.
His first big client was the Southern
Pacific, and throughout fill his dealings
he was fair and square. “There is no
spot or blemish on his character as an
honest man,” declared Judge Burnett.
He added that Judge Fenton has always
shown equal ability before a jury, and
in application to study, which he said was
a rare combination.
“This library has been accumulated
from every source for the ] "st fifty
years,” sped Judge Burnett, “lie bought
the books to use, and did use them, lie
knew the inside of the ]>ooks.”
Books Cover Large Fieiu.
This collection covers every fiel4 of
law. according to Judge Burnett. Re
ports from every state in the Union,
complete reports of the supreme court
of the United States, and various other
valuable books on important cases are
included. The gift is one that only a
learned lawyer can fully appreciate.
“Judge Fenton was .a success by liis
own standards,” he went on to say. “and
this is what counts most. Do not try to
imitate others. If you make the most
of the talent that is given to you. you
are a success. Do the best with what
you have.”
In speaking of the lasting effect of
this gift on the state in general. Judge
Burnett said: "This library will afford
the future citizens of the state an oppor
tunity for a better knowledge of law.
and when they have become so educated,
justice will work out more smoothly.
IVp need deep thinking people. Tie who
devotes himself to the study of law. who
applies himself to its principles cannot be
a had man. lie will receive the true idea
of what justice it. We must have govern
ment. or we have no security. A free
people must he a 'thoughful people, a
wise people, for we have a stupendous
task in governing ourselves. We must
know how to govern if we are to do
this.”
Gift Comes at Opportune Time.
In closing. Judge Burnett stressed the
importance of keeping our graduates here
in Oregon, the “keystone,” as he called
't. It is the place of greatest opportu
nity for those who have gone through,
who nre here now, and who are to come.
"I commend this library to your use,”
he said, “and take it as a matter of
Pride to present it to this great Uni
versity.”
President Campbell, in introducing the
sPPaker, expressed The great value of the
fift at this particular time. “It comes
at the most opportune time in the his

PROF. DUNN FAVORS
CAP AND GOWN IDEA
Faculty Members Should Wear Costume
at Commencement, Is
Suggestion.
A suggestion tlmt the faculty wear
caps and gowns at commencement will
be made by Prof. P. S. Dunn, of the
Latin department, at “the next regular
faculty meeting. “Some traditions are
too beautiful for democracy to tear
down.” said Professor Dunn, when fell
ing why he favored this plan. ‘‘We ma;,
be ever so democratic ami untrammeled
by convention, but a tradition such as
this is poetic and beautiful enough to
keep along with our democratic ideas.
When guests from other institutions
come to deliver the commencement day
address, they always wear the eap and
gown, the graduates wear them, an! why
should not the faculty.'
Professor Dunn has brought this mat
ter before the faculty twice before and,
according to him, it was uncompromis
ingly beaten,” on the grounds that some
faculty members thought the wearing of
caps and gowns by the faculty suggests
a certain amount of pomp and show,
which suggestion the faculty withes to
renounce.
DEAN HALE VISITS P. U.
Law School Head Sees Alma Mater For
First Time In 18 Years.
Dean W. G. Hale, of the law school,
spent a few days in Forest Grove the
last of the week and while there he vis
ited Pacific University for the first time
since his graduation 18 years ago.
The speech he delivered before the
associated students received a fine col
umn write-up on the front page of the
college paper. The Dean says he had
a fine time looking his alma mater ovei-j
after so long a time.
“Oregon Pledge Song” Called
One Of Most Popular
Numbers Given
“LOCAL COLOR” MADE
FEATURE OF ENCORES
“A Little Specialty”, Sung by
Nine Members to Prove
Great Hit
The basis of the program of the con
cert to be given by the Men’s Glee Club
in the Eugene Theater tomorrow evening
is the same as that ‘of the concert in
Portland, that was received so enthusi
astically. However, there are about five
new numbers, included this time in order
to bring the program a little nearer
home.
To pick out any one of the songs sung
in Portland as the best received, is a
rather difficult task, according to those
who heard the concert. The audience
seemed to be very enthusiastic over the
whole entertainment. “Oregon Pledge
Song,” by John Stark Evans, and
“Shores of Sighing," by Chaffin, how
ever, were apparently the favorites with
the house. Dean John ,T. Eandsbury, of
the University school of music, said that
the latter was the finest and most effec
tive piece of choral work he had ever
heard. Another effective number is
“Red Man’s Death Chant,” by Bliss.
Will Repeat Numbers.
Glen Morrow and George Hopkins,
whose singing of the solos in “Massa’s
In De Col’ Col’ Ground,” and the “Banjo
Song,” in Portland, is still talked about,
will repeat those numbers. Hopkins’
piano solo has almost become a neces
sity on Glee Club programs. He was
very well received in Portland.
The stunt, “A Little Specialty.” as giv
en in Portland \vas only a beginning, ac
cording to Mr. Evans. Since that time
it has been developing. Local atmosphere
has been added making it especially good
for the campus. The encores for the
w'hole program are also filled with “local
color.”
Program Is Given.
For the closing number on the pro
gram, the Glee Club and quartet will
sing Oregon songs, and all old glee club

HONOR SOCIETY WILL
ELECT MEMBERS SOON
Small Number of Juniors and Seniors
Will Be Chosen From Students
Witl\ High Standing.
Names of about forty seniors and jun
iors are under consideration by a com
mittee of the University Honor Society
as prospective members of this organiza
tion. which is devoted to the promotion
of scholarship on the campus. It is ex
pected that the number will he reduced
to less than twenty by the work of the
sifting committee, consisting of Prof. II.
A. Clark, Miss Mary I’rckins and George
Turnbull. The society itself will then
meet and make the elections, to a num
ber not exceeding ten per cent of the
senior class. The policy of the organiza
tion is to keep well within that limit.
The University Honor Society was or
ganized last year for the purpose of pro
moting scholarship among the under
graduates and also for the purpose of
working for a chapter of Phi Beta Ivap
pa at the University. Dr. It. C. Clark,
professor of history, is president of the
organization, which has nearly forty
members, most of whom are members
of Phi Beta Kappa in other universities.
Prospects of obtaining a chapter for the
University of Oregon at the next meet
ing of the governing body of Phi Beta
Kappa are regarded as good.
The three undergraduate members of
the University Honor Society now on the
campus are Mary Turner, Wilbur TIulin
and F. Dean Moore.
STUDENTS DISCOVER
“TEACHERS” ON COVER
Understudies of Dean Allen Find Him
Portrayed In Saturday
Evening Post.
It's going a long way when students
love their dear teachers to the extent
that they search for their likenesses in
the cover pictures of magnzines.
But try it yourself with the last Sat
urday Evening Post.
Along comes the fat Redcap, stagger
ing under bags and parcels, but quite
sble to keep a business eye over his
shoulder and a business ear attuned to
the clink of silver. Behind him a spec
tacled, nervous man is getting his change.
The man has a short upper lip, likewise
nervous, and a short, ferocious mous
tache, just about the length of, say, Dean
Allen’s. His air of gentle anxiety is all
there, and although it is a cap instead
of a black soft hat. one is sure the hair
underneath is a little wary and. on the
back, growing thin with the directing
of multitudinous young destinies.
This Post cover appeared on the jour
nalism bulletin board yesterday. The
bags the nigger carried all bore the mas
terly initials, E. W. A., and an audaci
ous drip had been attached to the largest
parcel. Below there was notice that a
large prize was being held for the dis
coverer of the best title. Such obvious
ones as “The Return from Florida” were
discouraged.
Beta Gamma Sigma Has Term
Average of 1.89
That scholarship qualifications are the
best basis for selecting members for
honor societies is shown by the recoin
of Beta Gumma Sigma, national honor
ary commerce fraternity, whose average
for the winter term was 1.8U. This re
flects great credit on the standing of the
fraternity itself.
Beta Gamma Sigma is an honorary
fraternity which is to the commercial
world what l'hi Beta Kappa is to the
liberal arts world. It was installed oil
the University of Oregon campus during
the past winter term, and has been very
active in the affairs of the school of bus
iness administration since that time.
Elections to memberships are made
from the men iu the school of commorce
whose average grades are iu the upper
one-third of the school of commerce. No
man is eligible who has a failure, a con
dition, or an incomplete standing against
him. These conditions, together with
other scholastic requirements, made only
four per cent of the juniors and seniors
in commerce last term eligible for elec
tion.
The hij'hest grade of Beta Gamma Sig
ma was made by Chester Zumwalt, whose
average was 1.28.

Is the political bee scheduled to start
buzzing soon?
Nominations for officers of the associ
nted students for next year will be May
5, exactly two weeks from yesterday.
So far not a single candidate has openly
announced his intention of entering the
race for any office.
The value of some of the offices will
likely change next year, as since the
adoption of the new constitution, the du
ties of some have been greatly increased.
For instance, the new Executive Council,
which will start functioning next year,
will wield a great deal of power, and
positions on this body, while limited each
year to one senior man and one junior
woman, are likely to be enticing enough
to cause aspirants to flock towards those
positions.
Many Would Bo Editors.
The candidates for editor of the two
nil-student publications, the Daily Em
erald and the Oregana, are likely to be
many, as since the last elections, both
poistions have been placed on a financial
ly remunerative basis. The editor of the
Emerald is allowed $400 per year and a
certain per cent of the amount over that
providing that much is cleared, the man
ager being allowed the same amount.
The Oregana limits the amount to $100
Under the same conditions.
Another position which may prove the
hone of contention between several as
pirants is that of yell leader. Recogni
tion of what the office means has seemed
to impress many students lately, and
there is likely to be a hot contest waged
over that berth.
Managers Now Appointed.
Although positions as manager of one
of the campus publications has never
been the cause of a very hot battle, all
chance for a fight over one of these
positions is gone with the adoption of
the new constitution. Managers here
after will be appointed by the Executive
Council, and will not be put to nn all
student vote.
As usual, the big fight will likely cen
ter over the office of president of the
associated students, with die vice-presi
dency ill second position, and the secre
taryship the bone of contention among
the women. Candidates just now are
loath to announce their in* -nliona, many
preferring t.o sit back and see which
way tlie wind h going to blow before
coming out.
Announcements Due Soon.
Throughout the year, however, there
have been names mentioned in connection
with all the more important offices.
Some political watchdogs have even
claimed an ability to select next year's
officers before any announcement of in
tentions on the part of possible candi
dates. With nominations but two weeks
off, however, candidates Rre soon going
to be ready to announce themselves in
the race.
JOHN TUERCK GOES HOME.
