Kanshi Ram Speaks Highly
of Mahatma Gandhi
HUMBLE CLASSES AIDED
Rival Religious Sects Said to
be United by Him
“ Mahatma (saint) Gandhi is the
most, extraordinary man in tHe world
today,” says Kanshi Ram. a major in
journalism. ‘ ‘ He is no less than a
prophet.”
Gandhi belongs to the fortunate class
in India. He was born in high caste
(high class family). After getting his
B. A. degree in an Indian university he
went to England to study law. Com
pleting this course he returned to India
and became a successful lawyer.
‘1 A few years later when the Indian
workmen in South Africa were so un
fairly treated by the whites of that
country, the Mahatma’s heart could
rest no longer and so, guided by his un
shakable conscience, he suspended his
practice and began to defend the rights
of his countrymen.
Fought in Boer War
“ Mr. Gandhi desperately and suc
cessfully fought abuses of his own race
in South Africa. He volunteered and
fought for the British in the Boer War,
in which he was wounded, and in recog
nition of his services he was awarded a
medal. From that time on he started
appealing to his countrymen to demand
more rights and offices from the British
government.
“In 1914, when the world war broke
out, he proved himself an essential in
strument in raising men, money and am
munition for the British government,
and even through his patriotic and
saintly speeches he moved the hearts
of mothers who gave 'their loved ones
for the Empire. It was he who induced
the Indians to swallow all sorts of dis
criminations against their race and to
trust to British honor to remove their
grievances after the war. In time of
war'he acted constantly as counsellor to
Lord Hardings, then viceroy of India.
Gandhi Changes Convictions
‘‘The close of the world war, the dis
integration of Turkey at the hands of
the Allies, the delay shown by the Brit
ish government in meeting the contin
ued and unanimous demands of the peo
ple changed Mr. Gandhi from his for
mer convictions. So at the age of 57
this venerable, cultured gentleman en
tered the fight for freedom in which he
is proving successful so far. It was he
who started the non-cooperation move
ment which has awakened the unedu
cated hearts of India and which was,
to a certain extent, the essential factor
in bringing the Hindus and the Mo
hammedans together in a perfect unity.
It is he who has awakened the English
people to the needs of India.
Aids Lower Castes
“ Men of that type in India and pos
sibly in America and elsewhere keep
away from the poor. It is easier to
understand why a workingman should
be taking interest in workingmen. It
is natural that a peasant'should feel for
fellow-peasants. But to feel for a mass
of people distinctly below yourself in
wealth, position and privilege is a great
moral feat. With the wisdom of his
years and with all the prestige of his
unselfish past Mr. Gandhi is now wield
ing the power of dictatorship over all
India.
“Mahatma Gandhi is a small, spare,
stooped man,” concluded Mr. Ram, who
saw him at a session of the Indian
National Congress held at Calcutta in
1919,” but when he climbs slowly up
the steps of the rostrum, and speaks,
one cannot help admiring his skill, re
gardless of his or her political opin
ions.”
COMMERCrEXEGUTIVES’
SHORT COURSE OUTLINED
University Offers Lectures
March 27 to April 1
By request of the Oregon State As
sociation of Commercial Secretaries and
the Oregon State Chamber of Com
merce, the school of business admin
istration of the University has an
nounced its second annual short course
for commercial secretaries to be held
from March 27 to April 1, inclusive.
Three aspects of the problems of the
secretarv will be stressed in the
courses: personal efficiencv. community
problems and club technique. The
most up-to-date methods and newest
ideas in commercial organization and
communitv development will be brought
out in classroom instruction and lec
tures during the six-dnv courses.
Friendlv and Hendricks halls will be
open to persons attending the short
co irse and board and room will be fur
nished there for ?s.P0 per week. The
phvsieal education department is plan
ning to hold swimming meets, tennis
matches and other events for the enter
tainment of the short course students,
and the Eugene Chamber of Commerce
and the lUwanis Club will hold a ban
quet and a luncheon to help provide
recreation for the visitors.
Morris ,T. Duryea. new head of or
ganization and service in the Oregon
State Chamber of Commerce, and Ir
ving E. Vining, well known psvchoV
gist, wit- be present to give a series
of classroom talks and lectures on sub
jects of interest to the commercial club
secretary. Other classes will be taught
by the regular faculty of the Univer

In connection with the short course
the annual meeting of the State Asso

be charged for the week's work. This
will cover the cost of mimeographing
material which will contain everything
covered in the course.
In a bulletin issued bv the school of
business administration the following
explanation of the course is made:
“There are more small towns in Ore
gon than large ones; the problem of
Oregon’s future is largely the problem
of the small town and its rural environ
ment. Secretaries of the larger places
realize these facts and will join the
representatives from smaller places in
careful study and frank discussion of
small town commercial organization.”

Better Average is Attained
Than Those Getting Aid
Information showing that students
working their way through college have
on the average equal and sometimes
better scholastic standing than those
receiving aid from home has been
brought to light by a survey made by
Registrar Carlton Spencer.
Mr. Spencer took, just as they came,
200 information cards filled out at
registration. Taking from the cards
the names of fifty men who are more
than 75 per cent, self-supporting, he
found their average grade to be 3.39,
while the average grade of fifty men
who are less than 25 per cent, self-sup
porting was only 3.90.
Mr. Spencer also took fifty cards of
women who are more than 75 per cent,
self-supporting and found their average
to be 3.01, while those who are less than
y25 per cent, self-supporting show an
average of 3.54. Last term’s all-Uni
versitv undergraduate average was 3.57.
These figures, Mr. Spencer says, are
not an absolutely Correct survey, as
only about ten per cent, of the cards
were considered and other factors, such
as a possible difference in the number
of hours carried by self-supporting stu
dents and those not working were not
included in the survey.
Aother important consideration is
that a great number of the students
who are listed as self-supporting are
not actually working while attending
University, but are self-supporting in
that they previously earned the money
to defray present expenses.
