FAME! Bread Wagon Scene Presented • • • Etching Inspiration May Enane • • • Avenue to Greatness Foreseen • • • Speedy Way Object of Search Faculty Member Airs Views Concentration of Work is Key Wander over the campus, and in the course of your perogrinations, turn in back of Friendly hall, and watch the bakery wagons drive up some fine morning and deliver bread to the back door of the men’s dormitory. The automobile stops, the driver gets out and carries a basket full of brown liaves to the door—there you have the pi^ure. How many times have we seen that same sort of a picture, labelled, “De livering Bread to the Back Door of Christ Church College Oxford,” or Blankety-Blank Hall at Tiddilty-Winks University, or any other such famous institution? You know the sort, gen erally a fine etching, signed in the lower left hand corner with the name of the artist, and bound into a fine book, mounted on a cardboard insert, with a tissue paper fly-leaf for protec tion. Something of much the same sort was presented in the campus draw ings in last year’s Oregana. An astonishing thesis has been ad vanced, that when an artist can “put over” a pictur of a Eugene bakeryman delivering bread to the back door of Friendly hall, that then the University of Oregon will be greatl When the name of the University has become so great and so well known that its repu tation will “carry” such a picture, even by an obscure artist, then the Uni versity stands at the open door of opportunity. , But what is the quickest way in which the University of Oregon may arrive at greatness? How can those who have and those who are now at tending the University aid in the de velopment of this greatness? How can the members of the faculty con tribute to the University’s reputation? Mere buildings and equipment will not achieve fame of honest merit for the University of Orogon. Wo are cramped for room now, and the geology depart ment occupies the former post-office of the campus, reminiscent of the days when our ancestors chiseled their cor respondence on slabs of stone. Mere resources then, unsupported by something else, will not do. Many a minor institution in the country po sossos the acme of equipment, but not ♦ he essential elements of greatness. How then is it? Th same problem is faced by every individual, and is paral leled in every ease of the proverbial rich man’s son. He has everything that he desires from the electric, train of cars of his childhood to the natty run-about roadster of his young man hood. Such a youth all to frequently finds himself, possessed of possessions alone, but the spirit, alas, is lacking. liv their fruits shall ye know them, says a prominent faculty member of the University. “A University or col lege, may attain to greatness by the concerted action of its sons to attain individual greatness. To live truly to the best that is in one, in sum ag gregate, equals a University which lives up to the bst that is in as a whole, and that alone constitutes greatness according to our modern philosophers. In our modern stenographic language, ■'•Shakespeare was right, kid, when he said, above all to hang onto yourself, and then you won’t run off with auy man’s purse."' And so, though money ami equipment in a University may be assets to in creased efficiency of work, yet they are not, and must never be considered, if the University would attain to and maintain greatness, the main thing. “Let it first bp accepted as a work ing hypothesis, that it' the University is to forgo aht'titl, it must be by the concerted work of students will fac ulty, and with alumni, and that though their individual work for the Univer sity may differ, yet still they must meet upon some common ground. Grant ing this then, the common ground must be their effort truly to the best that is in their individual selves, ISo speaks a prominent faculty member. He con tinues : “Let the alumnus, in his own com munity, add to the reputation of the l niverslt.v ot Oregon by the outstand ing strength of his character. Let him so act as to lie a leadr in his commuuitv rather than to seek fame and money for their sake alone, "Let the faculty member, the teacher of youth, do his share by adding to the sum of human knowledge, both in the classroom, and in the research laboratory . ” CLASSIFIED ADS Minimum oh*rue, 1 time. 26c; 2 time*. 46o ; 5 times, $1.
