Geologists To Enjoy Life And
Do Research In Summer Comp
()n0 of the most interesting of the
slimmer courses to be offered by the
I'nim'sif.v during the coming summer, is
die Geological Field ('amp in the vicinity
of Medford. This idea of a summer camp
„.as inaugurated last, year at this Uni
versity. although it is ^ui old idea among
other institutions.
The number who will be permitted to
attend this camp is restricted to twelve,
wi,o must have completed one year’s
ivork in geology, and then obtained the
consent of the instructor. Seven stml
euts made the trip last year.
The party will go by automobile from
either Medford or Grants Pass to the
camp, which will be located somewhere
near Phoenix, in what is known to geo
logists as the Medford Qnadrangie. This

Region Once Under Sea.
This region was once covered by the
sen, which extended as far as the Blue
Mountains in (Eeastern Oregon, and the
remains of molhicks, crabs and various
forms of invertebrata are still found in
abundance. Here, also, the students have
a chance to study Eocene beds in which
ooal has been locally developed. There
is a possibility of finding the fossil re
mains of elephants and other animals of
the Great Ice Age. Last year some in
teresting specimens were found just a
few weeks before the University party
arrived.
There are several oil wells and small
metal mines in this neighborhood which
will he visited by tlie summer class. A
physiographieal study will also be math,
of the Klamath mountains.
Practice will be offered in map-making,
the party being divided up into groups of
two or three, each group mapping a
specified section. These sections will
later be combined, thus forming a com
floor of the caves.
The camp will be established with
equipment furnished by the department,
except that each person will bring his
own blankets. Eeaeh person will have
a chance to try his hand at the culinary
art. Last year, according to Dr. Pack
ard, the first week was rather weak,
but before the summer was over some
excellent cooks developed. Of course all
the time is not spent in study. There
will be the usual fun of camp life.
R. H. Palmer to Instruct.
The instructor in charge will be Pro
fessor R. II. Palmer, who comes here
for the summer from the University of
Washington. lie has taken several years
of graduate work at. Stanford under the
direction of Dr. James I*. Smith, and
is therefore highly trained in palaeonto
logy and in the geological history of the
Pacific coast. The Univeisity of Oregon
is fortunate in securing his services, not
only because of his intimate knowledge
of the Pacific coast, but also because
of the fact that lie is bringing with him
different methods of investigation and
different viewpoints which will be of de
cided benefit to the students.
Physical Education School
Conducts Work.
To keep the students in good health,
®s well as to take care of the sick col
legians, was the purpose of the new
health program introduced into the Uni
versity by Dean J. F. Bovard, of the
physical education department during the
hist year.
Accordingly, different kinds of athletic
courses for all students were provided
and a more extensive doughnut program
was arranged. Students under weight
were registered and advice was given
them to bring them back to normal. The
idea underlying all this was that good
health is necessary fpr good mental
work.
Uiet and rest were then prescribed at
fivst, and if this produced no good effect
more stringent methods were applied.
Ihe efficiency of these measures was
shown by the fact that of 100 or more
girls treated during the first tgnn, all
gained from two to 85 pounds.
T hiring the past school year the phy
s'eal education department cooperated
"ith other departments of the University,
muni ly, the school of medicine, the school
,;f sociology, the public nurse training
school, and the extension department, in
promoting a dcfnite health program for
the state. It also correlated with other

educational idea in music schools.
The public service idea enters in even
to tiie selection of faculty for the school.
Xot only musical ability but ability to
serve is considered, according to the
Dean. In fact, the whole school is built
on the public service idea.
New Ideas Promulgated.
The getting away from the old idea
of the musician who was only a musician,
the man looked down upon because of
his general worthlessness and ignorance
outside his own line, has been one of
the greatest aims of the Doan. Ilis idea
has always been that the musician should
have a broad education. This has con
tributed very largely to the changing of
the old ideas regarding musical educa
tion, a change which is largely respon
sible for the lifting of the tuitions.
In the school of music, students arc
not allowed to specialize narrowly. A
student may earn his Bachelor of Arts
degree with music as his major subject.
This idea is being rapidly accepted by
other schools.
The idea that all those studying music
should specialize in it is scouted by Dean
Landsbury. “After all.” he said, “the
main object of the school here is to pro
vide our students with the means of on
joying (he best in music and to enable
I hem to combine work in music with
work in other lines. Wo hope to point
the way to other generations that will be
"freed from the old idea that, music is a
temperamental thing for temperamental
people.” HR is working now on a plan

imry, who recently returned from a tour
of the middle west, where he visited a
great many schools of music, “it to be
one of the finest: buildings of its hind
in the country.” Tile dean gathered ideas
all along the way. which are being in
enrporafed in the new structure.
New Building Well Arranged.
The 1,-shape of the building makes pos
sible an arrangement of the auditorium;
and the stiid.\ wings so that both can be
used at the same time without interior
cnee with each other. The dean says lie
believes it to bo tho only school with such
tin arrangement. The indications are that
the auditorium will have nearly perfect
acoustic tpinlities. li will sent 020 peo
ple. One of its features which will he
a eroat relief to those who have sttf
feri'il through concerts in Yillunl hall, is
the fact that there are no seats under
the balcony. All that space is taken up
by the foyer.
The other wing is taken up with large
and well lighted practice rooms and stu
dies, a lecture room, the business office !
a sun parlor, a room for the Mu I’hi
Kpsilon. a lounging room, ami a broad
ball. The two parts of the building are
connected so that there is a great deal
of room for promittading.
(hie of the dean’s hobbies is to take
a\\$y all the air of commercialism from
the place. With this idea in mind there
is no box office in the auditorium and the
business office is not placed immediately
at the front entrance. Concerts are. to
be for the most, part free.
One of the many hopes for the growing
school is for the/establishment, of . a
school of opera in the near future.
