THE NEW OFFICERS.
Tile election is over. Let’s forget it, the worries and strug
gles which accompanied the campaign, and get he hind those
wtho were elected. The successful candidates are those who
will lead Oregon next year, in spite of anything that may he
said or thought now. it is our duty to support the successful
candidates next year, inasmuch as support of them in the only
way to a successful year.
Next year will be a crucial year, since the adoption of the
new constitution means additional.work for all the new offi
cers. The new president, vice-president and secretary will
find their duties more exacting than at any previous time, and
support of tjhem by a united student body is essential.
The elected members of the, executive council will fill a new
position, created by the new constitution. They will have no
proceding office-holders to guide them in their new work, and
they are likely at the start to make mistakes. Students should
not fail to recognize this and to make allowances at the start.
The new editor of the Emerald has a hard year ajliead. This
year the Emerald has made its way as a daily for the, first time,
laboring under difficulties which may multiply next year. Co
operation between all officers elected is another essential fac
tor in making the coming year successful.
The big thing now is to forget the campaign, and all the
politics which went with it. The: thing to remember is that
the candidates who were elected, were given their positions in
most cases by a majority vote, and with a majority of the stu
dents behind him, the new officer cannot make his way success
fully next year unless Ik* feels that the majority will he aug
mented by the rest of the student body.
When the new officers take over their new duties next
month, it is up to all of us to give them all the opportunity in
the world to make good.
W. S. C. goes home happy, with two victories pocketed
The games with < >. A. (A are still before ns, meaning that we’ve
got to beat the Corvallis lessors or die in the attempt.
Will the congregation join in heaving a sigh of relief? The
election is over.
Famous Poet Gives Definition
Then Interpretation.
In his interpretation of his own poetry
Edwin Markham Inst night fulfilled to the
utmost his definition of true poetical
verso. "Poetry.” said Mr. Markham
“touehos everything with the ideal, and
makes of ii a divine reality."
Edwin Markham, now white-haired, yet
still possessing all his youth in his ren
dition of his verse, spoke with an earn
estness and appeal that was greatly ap
predated by a very enthusiastic audience
at the V. M. (’. A. hut.
Beginning his program with his fam
ous “f'hild of My Heart." Mr. Markham
delivered a series of poems, among which
‘‘The Witness of the Dust,’’ “A Creed."
"Boot Lore.” "A l’rayor.” and "Your
Tears"’ received especial approval.
Making use of his ability as a trained
speaker, Mr Markham would occasion
ally stop in las readings to explain some
phase of the great field of verse. ‘‘True
poetry reveals to us the unlooked-for
beauty in the world about us. Around
every factor in life is a halo of wonder,
and it is this wonder that a poet must
beautify and give to the world. Poetry
is greater than the art of colors—it is
greater than music, because it combines
them all.”
Throughout his lecture, the speaker
made excellent use of many little humor
ous incidents, and experiences. In his
quaint way ho explained his long absence
from Oregon with the statement. “I
wished to he at the top and crest of my
power before I returned to my beloved
Oregon.”
In conclusion, Mr. Markham read a few
of his famous quatrains, and then. at. the
request of the audience, he read his
“The Lincoln,” and with a few remarks,
his world famous ‘‘The Man With a
lioe."
After the lecture, Mr. Markham, at a
reception in Hie Woman's building, dis
cussed his works, and the works of oth
ers. with an ability and understanding
that showed that he fully merits all the
praise that has been given him.
