It is not meant for boys and girls who are still in the text-book stage and unable to study without spoon feeding and direction. It is intended for students who, however vague and chaotic their ideas as to their future occupation, have some independent intellectual life of their own, who value ideas and the contact of mind with mind, and who come to a seat of learning, not simply to scramble through some bread-winning test, but, whether consciously or not, to satisfy the needs of their growing spirit.” A famous British scholar, Alfred E. Zimmern, whom the Uni versity offers to bring to us for a week of lectures should student and faculty interest merit it, declared this in an essay on “Univer sities and Public Opinion,” and in so doing said something peculiarly applicable to his proposed visil. ‘‘Independent intellectual life,” ‘‘contact of mind with mind “—these are the things which make a university, which make il more than a ‘‘glorfied high school.” But somehow or other in the past 20 years when quantity education has been so stressed, contact of student and professorial mind in universities has languished seriously until it has become almost a thing of the past even in the country’s greatest universities. In some of the more notable of in stitutions there has grown up to meet this disturbing condition the plan of bringing into student life outside of the class room certain intellectually active men, scholarly men, specialists in their fields, to enrich student minds by contact with outside life and experience. The Emerald seizes eagerly on the University’s offer to bring Mr. Zimmern to us for a week, not so much because he himself is an eminent man and that he surely is but because his coming will hcai'ld the advent of others and the opening up here at Oregon of possibilities for just that sort of student life for which Oxford and Cambridge and Yale and Princeton are famous. It believes that here lies the opportunity to start this university on a career of added distinction in education which will bring students to it from very far. The administration offers to bring this man to us. First they must be assured that interest is high enough to warrant the expense in these days of cramped resources occasioned by the recent extensive building.

The writer had the pleasure of a visit to Kugene last week tn attend the Annual Newspaper Conference held there under the auspiees of the Sehonl of .lournalisin, University of Oregon. Kugene is a very pretty little city and we were pleasantly received and delightfully entertained by the good people of the town, aide assisted liv the college faculty and students of the educational center. While W. greatly appreciated and enjoy all this kind hospitality, the thing that greatly impressed us was the in fluence that education has in the train ing f the young people who are at tending our institutions of higher learning. It was indeed an inspiration to associate with and observe the ac tions iif the young pen jilt who are thus being trained fnr the affairs nf life. There was in evidence everywhere the air of refinement ami good iiihh ners that comes from proper, careful training. In all of the activities of the occasion the young people of the institution took prominent parts carry ing them out well and in an orderly, decourous manner. It was the writer’s good fortune tn be invited to a noon day lunch at one i of ttu> fraternity houses where some thing like 25 or 2t> young men live during their college activities. Here we were very cordially received and most hospitably entertained, not in a lavish, palavering manner, but in a way that, we felt perfectly at homo and that we were there heartily welcome. Here the young men conduct their home, manage their affairs and secure a training that in future life will be i of inestimable value to them. Each j young man takes his turn as host at the table, serving as does the head of, the family and it is needless to say that he gains some valuable expert 1 ence when it comes to serving at af table surrounded by 25 young guests each day. The decorum that prevailed, the good manners that were in evidence and the spirit of genuine friendship ; that manifested itself were evidences of the value and influence of the train ing that was being received. The ut most courtesy was maintained. Should | a young man wish to retire from the ; table during the progress of the meal he court egly asked permission to be ex | cused. Without exception each young man on arriving at the fraternity house and finding a guest there, without hesitation or the least embarrasmeut sought an introduction or introduced himself and then took the part of a genuine host. To thus be received and entertained bv these fine young men was to us indeed most pleasing. Forest Orove News Times. A FIELD FOR THE GENEROUS The recent endowment fund left to A. C.

McMinnville College by a wealthy lady calls to mind the fact that Oregon has been singularly lacking in citizens who have given out of their abundance toward the promoting of the cause of education in the state. Very few gifts of any proportions have been given either to the Univer sity of Oregon or the Oregon Agricul tural College, the two principal state institutions of higher learning, and they have, out of necessity, been forced to rely upon money paid by the tax payers. In other states the big educational institutions have been made the bene ficiaries of hugh sums left by citizens EVEKV ■ MEAL ijioji WRIGLEYS Newest Creation Peppermint fla vored chewing gum with Pepper min Sugar Coating.

Only last year the j University of Michigan—if our memotv serves us correctly—received $2,000,000 from private citizens for the endow ment of some particular schools of the college or for the building of new buildings, and there is hardly a univer sity or college in the east which is not maintained in considerable part from the earnings of endowment funds or which does not have large buildings which are monuments to the generosity of private citizens. Stanford univer sity was created from private funds and the University of California has been the recipient of many handsome gifts The future of both of the large edu cational institutions of Oregon will be largely fashioned by similay benefac tions, or by the lack of them. The | sums realized now from the millage tax are barely sufficient to meet the costs of operation and maintenance. There is nothing left over at the end of the J year with which to add to the build ings and equipment. Indeed, the tax money is inadequate to meet the most important needs of the schools, and as a result other colleges and universit ies are able to outbid the Oregon schools for the service of her big in structors. The regents and the administrative of the institutions realize that they cannot go before the people, already bearing a heavy tax burden, and ask for additional appropriations with which to provide very necessary build ings and accommodations for an in creasing number of students. Many of their departments are poorly housed, space is at a premium and equipment is insufficient. The time has arrived when loyal Ore gon citizens, who have accumulated wealth in the state, should step forward and do as others have done in other states. No greater purpose could be served by their money than by turn ing it to the constructive purpose of educating the future citizens of the state. This is a suggestion for those who have reaped riches from the bounty of the state. May it not fall on barren soil.—Astoria Budget. STATE Y- SECRETARY VISITS W. W. Billon, state secretary of the Y.
