Thus, although chartered in tentionally and with carefullest prevision for insuring autocracy in their control, the endowed eolleges are, willy nilly, moving in the direction of pure democracy. . . . “In college, the trustees have submitted to such weakening of their basic authority as is virtually tantamount to their abdication. The colleges are in the hands of the arbiters of their financial futures—the general body of their graduates. Whether or not this situation is educationally healthful remains to be seen. Even if it is not, the time for applying remedies has passed. . . . “One outcome seems sure, the tendency toward actual, if not nom inal, democracy of determining influence in the endowed colleges will bring about an increasing similarity between them and the emphati cally democratic, tax-supported institutions. “The distinctness of purpose, the loftiness of standard, the in dividuality of viewpoint and method, once assumed to be the dis dinguishing features of the endowed colleges—and to many minds their only excuse today for being—are threatened with extinction. The above editorial from the Boston Evening Transcript was in spired by the fact that more money lias been raised in this country during the past three years for the purposes of higher education, than in any other three years in history, and that most of this money has come from loyal alumni of their alma maters. In addition to raising the funds necessary the alumni have taken an active part in the dis position of them. During Homecoming here last fall, President Campbell launched a campaign for alumni endowments for the University, pointing out that new buildings now needed here would cost at least a million and a half dollars, and that they cannot be provided for by the millage tax for years to come. A new library, an auditorium, a science build ing and a men’s gymnasium are among the buildings needed most at present. I'resident lampoon may or may noi nave mowgm m me vumuuic sorvieo he was «loin^ to the University in launching this campaign from the standpoint of cementing alumni loyalty and spirit. The Boston newspaper has taken into account the great benefit to the endowed colleges only, but by the endowment plan for the University it can be plainly seen that in the administration of *he many import ant policies the alumni can take a hand by this means. The alumni of Oregon should take an active part in the affairs of the institution, and what could be more desirable from the standpoint of all who have the Oregon Spirit at heart than to have the University more in the hands of its “graduate groups” than in the hands of “its legally appointed governing boardt” The Emerald will hazard the prediction that not only will such participation by the alumni be “educationally healthful” from the angle of scholarship but that it will likewise attain the desired height in quality production, from the entire aspect of a liberal education. The spirit of a loyal alumni group will permeate the prep school athlete and the student interested in activities to such an extent that commercialism need never be thought of when the selection of the in stitution for continuing their education comes before them. A liberal education is built upon student activities as well as classroom work.

INK WOMEN SWIMMERS ARE REINS DEVELOPED Girls’ Organizations Entering Teams for Meet The women’s swimming classes of the school of physical education have turned out already this year several expert swimmers and many others who are on the way to being finished products in ac^fTiatic feats, according to instructors in the swimming department. In every! way the progress of the women in the j pool compares favorably with the men’s classes which succeeded in teaching about 25 students to swim last term. Approxi mately 30 women who, at tne beginning of the year, could not swim a stroke, are now on the way to being good swimmers and many of these arc entering in the women’s swimming meet to be held in the near future. Last year over 100 women were taught to swim by the swimming department, and many of these are being entered it the events this year. There are still, many girls who are unable to master the art, but progress is noted in every case where at least three hours a week are spent in the pool. Much interest involving extra practice 1 is being displayed at present over tin swimming meet.

COURSE IN LIFE SAVING TO BE GIVEN IF MEN SIGN Those Passing Red Cross Test to Get Certificate The school of physical education is considering opening a class in life-sav ing if a sufficient number of men sign up for it in the near future, says Ger ald Barnes, swimming instructor. The course was offered about a month ago, but at that time there was apparently no interest in the subject, and it was abandoned. Since then there have been several inquiries about the class, and four or five men have definitely j stated that they will sign up if such a course can be given. According to Coach Barnes a great deal of interest should be shown among the swimmers of the University in such a course, as it will be the aim to teach all the best methods of carrying a drowning person in the water, the meth ods cf breaking holds which drowning persons instinctively take, and also the ways of reviving a partly drowned per son after he has been taken to shore. The present plan of the course is to award Red Cross life saving certifi cates to all persons who, after a cer tain amount of specified instruction, are able to pass the Red Cross test: for life savers. Edwin Durno, and Ger ald Barnes, both of whom have had a great deal of experience in this line, | are to conduct the examinations, and Coach Barnes pointed out that they are going to make the test an especially 1 rigorous one, and will not let any per son through who is not able to go out r.ml do real work in life saving. At least 10 men will be needed for the formation of a class, so all those wishing to take the course should see Coach Barnes as soon as possible and arrange with him for periods. The class is one of the most practical that nan be offered by the school, and Coach Barnes points out that the men faking it will get more out of it than from any sort of uninstructed swim ming, and requests that any men who wish to take it whether advanced swim mers or not should come and see him. ‘JUDGE’ TO OFFER PRIZES Comic Publication Will Give Loving Cup to Wittiest University Stanford University, Cal., Feb. 14. — (P.

They say that our photos are more than mere picutres and wonder why we are different from the average studio. The truth is that our studio is not much different from the average. We use cameras, just like the others. Our portraits are different, because of the personal element; retouch, cor rect exposure and printing. Then we have wonderful success in posing our subjects. All in all it is our ability to produce better photo-portraits, that gives us a claim on your patronage. Martin Studio 708 WILLAMETTE Are you making a memory book of your days in college?..
