JUDGE BURNETT PRAISES LIBRARY (Continued from Page 1.) t^rv of the law school,” ho said. “The faculty has been seeking a means of in creasing the present ‘inadequate number of volumes, and now this gift eonjes °to solve the problem. It will mean an in creased opportunity for thousands of .students in years to come.” Memory Will Be Perpetuated. In making the address of acceptance on the part of the board, Judge J. TV. Hamilton, of Roseburg, president of the board of regents, said: "It is a pleas urable thing to the people of this state i to receive this gift in the eanse of educa tion. The memory of Kenneth Lucas Fenton will be forever perpetuated by this magnificent gift. Judge Fenton has given to the University that which in prized most highly. His act is one of pare unselfishness. I hope that, on be half of the state, those who are its bene ficiaries will recognize its value. I hope that his great sacrifice shall prove not to have been made in vain. This library carries with it the thoughts and high ideals of Judge Fenton.” It lias more than a mometary value, according to Judge Hamilton. Dean Hale, in accepting the gift on the par; of the University, said that he ac cepted this in a position of trust. “We have received the result of years of la bor overnight. It is a fine spirit that placed this library in the hands of gen erations of lawyers to come, and it should cause them to go forth and diffuse the ideas of the honor throughout the state.” Lawyers Will Use Books. Fred E. Smith, of the local bar as sociation, who took the place of Louis F. Bean, accepted the gift on the, part of the local bar association.* “Most law yers are unable to enjoy a large libra ry,” he said. “Tile lawyer who succeeds hest is the one who prepares his cases best for presentation to the court. To do tills he must; have ready access to the truths of his profession.” The act of the University in throwing open the free use of this library to the local bar will solve this problem. “It is a gift the local bar will gladly avail themselves of.” con cluded the speaker, “and with the gift they will be able to enlarge their oppor tunities.” 1 Music for the assembly was furnished hy the University orchestra, which gave the selection, “Morning, Noon and Night,” in a most delightful fashion. An unusually large number of students were out for the assembly. ^SCHOLARSHIPS ARE OPEN FOR FIVE MEN (Continued from Page 1.) 1!>2I5 from every state in the Union ex-* oopt the following sixteen: Arizona, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Louisiana, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, .North Dakota.

The opportunities that are open to Rhodes scholars at Oxford are boundless. Normally lie becomes a member of one of the twenty odd colleges which make up the university. The average college lias only two hundred members: so he finds himself in a social group* that is small enough to assure him the oppor tunity of gaining a personal acquain tanee with his fellows. The bulk of these will naturally be English and Scotch, but lie will find among them students from the British colonies, and many others from the continent of Europe and the Orient. Educationally, too, Oxford has much to offer him. Most Americans who enter as undergraduates are excused from the work of the first year and begin at once on au “Honor School” a broad course of reading and study in some branch of learning carried on for two full years under the personal direction of a “tutor.” Among these schools the oldest and most famous is Literae Humaniones (Classics and Philosophy). Others are Modern History. Mathematics. Chemistry, Phys ics. Theology, English and Modern Lan guages. After two years at one of these the student is tested by a series of compre hensive examinations, and placed as a first,” “second.” “third.” or “fourth.” according to his attainment or ability. All those lead to the B. A. degree. For ihose who wish to do graduate work Hioro are the degrees of B.C.L.. B.Sc.. and Tt.Litt., in law, science, and history and literature, respectively, and recently fhe Ph.D. has been established as well. CHRISTIAN WORKERS TO MEET.

April J7. Miss Rambeau is appearing under the direction of A. H. Woods and this is her first venture away from Broadway for six years. It was not Miss Rambeau's desire that has kept her in New York-— it was the insistent demand of the play going public. Her engagement in ‘‘The Sigu On the Door” might easily have been extended into the present season, and doubtless would have been carried along if Miss Rambeau herself had not insisted upon a tour of the principal cities. In “The Sign On the Door” Miss Rambeau appears in a role that gives her a wide range of freedom in the display of her art. That she has given force and power to the play and at the same time added to her own prestige as an emo tional actress is shown by the unani mous verdict of critics and playgoers that her dramatic efforts in Channing Pollock's play mark a new achievement in the American drama. “The Sign On the Door” is a thrilling play of the hour —crowded with tense moments, softened with delicious comedy and entertaining from start to finish. Miss Rambeau is supported by a company of recognized ability.
