A Sincere Tribute
A work of art and a credit to the University and to its staff, The
Oregana has again made its appearance in our midst. And an im
pressive characteristic of the year book this time is its fitting dedi
cation to George S. Turnbull, a member of the faculty of the school of
journalism, whose untiring efforts have not only materially assisted
in the excellency of the annual publication, but do likewise assist in
the daily publication of The Emerald and of other student journal
istic endeavors.
“To a friend of all students, a teacher and a scholar, a worker
whose toil is directed toward accuracy in knowledge and whose in
fluence is an inspiration in the attainment of the ideals of the Uni
versity,” needs no further interpretation. George Turnbull is all
of these and more. Ilis willingness at all times to assist the students
in the school of journalism in their individual efforts to attain the
heights of success, carries on whether in or out of the class room.
The respect and love which all hold for him is only partially exempli
fied in this act of the editor of The Oregana in dedicating the year
book to him.
Beyond that, few acts could express the esteem which his friend
ship has inspired among those who know him well. Would that The
Emerald might also be .dedicated to George Stanley Turnbull.
Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day, bringing witli it all the recollections of the one we
hold the dearest in our lives, finds Oregon students willing and eager
to participate in the hospitality befitting the occasion. For those who
cannot have their mothers with them on this day it affords fond mem
ories, and to the others who are more fortunate, a supreme happiness.
Mothers who are our guests this week end must fill the places of
the mothers who could not come. Our respect for the visitors is in
creased, if that be possible, by knowing this. All students and fac
ulty alike extend with open arms the true Oregon hospitality and
friendliness that they may participate alike with us in this grand
occasion.
LILAC BUSH IS WRECKED
Large Branch Torn from Tree; Stealing
of Campus Flowers Prevalent
Someone 1ms torn a large branch
from the lilac bush in front of Villard
hall. The practice of tearing to pieces
the plants unit shrubs on tho campus
has become altogether too prevalent,
according to the campus gardeners.
Not very long ago the tulip bed in
front of Mary Bpillcr hall was attacked
by some vandal, who picked the choir
est tulips and ruined the symmetry of
the bed.
The worst of the matter, according
to I'onald K. Shepherd, the campus
gardener, is that the people who attack
the flowers and shrubs do the thing in
such a ruthless manner. Instead of
using a knife for cutting off the bios
sums, they either pull the plant up, or
twist and tear off the limbs, as was
the case with the lilac bush. While
not accusing anyone of these acts, the
gardener declares that the terrorism
committed on tho plants and shrubs is
certainly inconsistent with his plans
for keeping the campus beautiful.
"When flowers are abundant on the
eumpus we are glad to gi\o them to
people who realty need them,” said
Mr. Shepherd. For this reason ho be
liovos the too frequent practice of
stealing flowers from the campus is
uncalled for.
1922 OREGANA
(Continued from \*ge ene)
would ring them into every word of
the ('regime's dedication.

teacher and a scholar, a worker
whose toil is directed towurd ac
euracy ia knowledge and whose
influence is an inspiration in the
attainment of the ideals of the
University to
(iKOlUiK 8TANLRY TURNBULL
this fourteenth volume of the
Oregano is dedictaod.”
What is the purpose of an annualt
one might ask. Its purpose is to pre
serve the traditions, give an account
of the year’s activities, and, above all,
create a feeling of pride in the stu
dent’s heart for the alma mater. If
this purpose has been done artistically
and in u good journalistic manner,
then the annual has been, in the main,
successful. Then the Orogana this
year is a success, which is much more
than can bo said for many past books.
A criticism of this book which did
not stop to analyze the pictures in the
front would be stupid. A soft, color
ful, mellow effect is gained by having
the cuts made from ordinary instead
Jet' glossy photographs. The idea was
an excellent one and the purpose of the
j editor is fully attained. I predict that
I these pictures will elicit praise from the
art department; yet the printers almost
quit the job when they saw them. Line
is not essential in a photograph, and
the effect of those—mellow as the
| fading evening—is tremendous. A col
losal success.
The drawings of the buildings around
the campus which are printed on the
brown insert pages are good enough
to excite an advertising agency to
calling the artist immediatly into their
service. In fact, the art work through
out the book is the best ever produced
in a campus publication.
One ot the things to be endured in
an annual is the hackneyed junior
write ups. Hut the students must see
their names in print.
The whole book gives evidence of
original effort. Of course it isn’t en
tirely original, for many things have
previously been done. Hut such things
as the border excite the writer to com
plimentary adjectives. The pages with
the house pictures and cuts are distinct
achievements, typographically perfect
and with plenty of white space, they
present an unusually dignified appear
ance, whereas in most annuals they
look like newspaper advertisements.
The feature section, with its trench
ant wit, acrimonious flings at campus
characters (of course Jimmy Gilbert
and Timmy Oloran provide the stereo
typed jokes), is perhaps one of the
best part of the book. Don’t we all
lose our money at the Co-opf Then
w ho dosn't enjoy:
“Half a cent, half a cent, hulf a cent
higher,
t'p goes the prices, God help the
buyer.”
And the final udmouitoiu:
“You’re none so wise, and none so
old,
That cannot stand the good rasp
berry.”
It's clever, yet good natured.
“Difficulty sets a high price ou|
achievement,” as Stevenson says; but
when the achievement is successful,
then the price is worth it. The sense
of beauty—a complete, satisfactory
whole a full melodious richness, a
consummate artistry, are the writer’s
final impressions.

Open Forum
To the Editor:
William D. Wheelwright, a lumber
merchant from Portland, is quite cor
rect in saying before the student as
sembly in Villard hall Thursday morn
ing that he never heard a whisper of
a republic, because for the time he
was in India he had been under the
influence of those English or American
commercial firms with which he was
concerned and was thus at a loss to
understand the public opinion running
among the natives. The national cry
of a republic is not among foreigners
and Anglo-Indians (i. e., of mixed
blood) but among the natives, regard
less of caste or creed.
mere naa ueen more uuiu iuuu per
sons arrested in Calcutta connected
with the present nationalist movement
during the kiBt three months, but still
Mr. Wheelwright said in an interview
that there is no disaffection in Cal
cutta proper. On the other hand, if
we accept the statement of Mr. Wheel
wright, then evidently the government
of India is not justified in arresting
those persons.
Mr. Wheelwright did not clear his
statement that the English rule in
India had been a success. If he meant
that from the commercial point of view
then nobody can deny that England
has exploited India to her heart’s sat
isfaction; but taking the other govern
mental duties in the English rule had
been a failuro and a blight on Chris
tian civilization. The English had
been ruling in India for about two
centuries and within this time they
could educate only five out of a hun
dred in male population and one per
cent in female population. Lack of
art schools and other agricultural and
commercial schools may be the benev
olence of English rule in India to
which Mr. Wheelwright refers. If the
Philippine people could be educated
77 out of every 100 in 23 years by the
American government, 1 see no reason
why the East Indians could not have
been educated to a hundred per cent in
such a long time.
India has never been invaded by the
Mongols from China, if I remember
correctly, and the object of Mohamme
dan rule was not exploitation but to
enrich her soil with the ever-increasing
number of Mohammedan people.
Mr. Wheelwright is not justified in
saying that the issue is not that of
native against British but Moslem
against Christendom in India. The,
fact is that the movement has beeu
going on intensely for the last four
years and during this time the native
Christians have been giving hearty
support to the movement led by the
Hindus and Moslems together.
The I'nited States cannto be led into
foreign entanglements by any agita
tion from outside, and the American
people stand always for the right and'
just cause.

If some of those omnipresent indi

chief and business manager a year in
1 advance of publishing. The editors
I of the TJ. O. junior annual will testify
1 that such a plan should be carried out
by their successors and the sophomore
class has an excellent opportunity to
begin early with their work We snp
jgest that the sophomores select two

COME IN AND SEE THEM ALL
Take It From The Air
NOT only music, but news, speeches, messages
of every sort, are today being picked out of
the air.
“How has this come about?” we ask.
The new impetus given to radio development may
be definitely associated with the development of the
high power vacuum tube, for that made broadcasting
possible. And the power tube originated from a
piece of purely theoretical research, which had no
connection with radio.
When a scientist in the Research Laboratories of
the General Electric Company found that electric
current could be made to pass through the highest
possible vacuum and could be varied according to
fixed laws, he established the principle of the power
tube and laid the foundation for the “tron” group of
devices.
These devices magnify the tiny telephone currents
produced by the voice and supply them to the
antenna, which broadcasts the messages. At the
receiving end, smaller “trons”, in turn, magnify the
otherwise imperceptible messages coming to them
from the receiving antenna.
Great accomplishments are not picked out of the
air. Generally, as in this case, they grow from one
man’s insatiable desire to find out the “how” of
things.
Scientific research discovers the facts. Practical
applications follow in good time.
