Condon Club Hears Talk On
Oregon Sea Lines
That Eugene and the surrounding
country was at one time a part of the
wean. as is proved by the rock forma
lions here, was shown last night by Dr.
li. L. Tackard, of the geology depart
ment, in his address, “Ancient Shore
pines of Oregon,” before the Condon
, lid), which met in the Administration
te ildiug.
“The border land between the land
and the sea 1ms always been interesting
lo people because it is there that the
civilization of people has first taken
place.” said Dr. Packard. “The climate,
tempered by the land and sea breezes, the
chance for industry—those industries of
tie sea meeting with >!. .•,> based on in
l.nd resour-e i—have ’ r 1 a d roct hear
ing on civilization.”
The littoral zone, that part of the
sea which lies nearest the land, is of
more interest to biologists than the deep
water, according to Dr. Packard, for it
is in the littoral zone that are found the
greatest extremes of environments, and
the sediments formed near the shore give
us a history of the past life of the
shore. Also, as was pointed out. the
decaying animals and plants result in the
distillation and development of oil.
“The land is tempered by the sea and
the sea conditions near land are affected ;
bv the land,” continued the speaker, “so
the region of the shore lines, especially
the adjacent zones, are of peculiar in
terest biologically, and a study of shore
lines becomes more vital when it is un
derstood that they are significant eco
nomically and historically, as well as
geologically.”
Because of the meager information, if
is difficult to trace the record of ancient
shore lines, Dr. Packard said, and opinion
is largely postulate.
“The history of Oregon shows that
there were 20 times when the Pacific
ocean encroached upon the land, leaving
limestone, shale and other rocks, besides
the remains of plants and animals one
fr< quently finds,” the speaker explained,
and illustrations were shown by dia
grams of the approximate position of the
20 seas.
Dr. Packard believes that the. sea cov
ering Eugene was rich in sea life, as the
animal remains here show, as well as
the frequent finding of sandstone and
shales, which, he says, is the sediment
that has been converted into rock.
Iti early history, said the speaker (that
means when the world was new), the
seas were restricted to the southwest
corner of Oregon, but later, during the
age of reptiles, the estate become more
widely flooded, and formations show that
at one time 70 per cent of the entire
state was covered by water, which ex
tended as far as the Blue mountains of
eastern Oregon.
“In the next era,” Dr. Packard ex
plained, “the seas were again more re
stricted and in general, only occasionally
did the sea extend further than the Cas
cades, although there were no Cascade
mountains then.”
CLARK AND PARSONS
WRITE BOOK REVIEWS
Articles, Both On War Topics. Appear
In International Relations
Journal.
Dr. Robert C. Clark, professor of his
tory, and Dr. P. A. Parsons, professor of
sociology in the University, have both
written book reviews which appeared in
the “Journal of International Relations”
for April. 1021.
Dr. Clark says of “An Introduction to
Peace Treaties,” by Arthur P. Scott.
“The chief usefulness of this book is its
summary and explanation of the peace
treaties as concluded up to May. 1020.
Introductory chapters on war causes and
war aims, negotiations during the war.
tlie peace conference, and the framing of
the treaty, are excellently done and give
in brief compass, clearly and without
waste of words the necessary historical
background for the treaties. Though the
treaties are easily accessible to one reek
ing information about them, and perhaps
unusually intelligible as treaties go. a
book that gives the gist of their contents
without their complicated phraseology
and multiplicity of details is a welcome
addition to the literature of the sub
ject.”
“The Human Cost of the 1101'. by
Homer Folks, is commented upon by Dr.
Parsons. This volume, according to Dr.
Parsons, is an attempt to give an esti
mate and impression of the costs of the
war in the suffering of men, women and
children. It is based upon Mr. lolks
own experiences and observations in the
devastated areas of Italy, the Balkans,
the Russian front, France and Belgium.
