A Tribute to Character
A well-deserved tribute was paid to Dean Straub by former stu
dents of the University, in Seattle, when they provided the expenses
for him to go to the Oregon-Washington game and honored him with
a banquet. Seattle alumni are only representative of former students
in all parts of the West in the common desire to honor the “Grand
Old Man” of the University.
The Seattle Journal of Commerce, in an editorial which is here
partially reprinted, terms it “A Tribute to Character.”
It is not common for former college students, long removed
from campus activities, to choose to fete a professor. The pro
fessor who has so lived, taught, tnd acted that his students year
after year learned to love him and n,ow seek to make known
to him their affectionate esteem surely must he worthy of that
benediction.
What is this quality which draws 72 former students and
graduates of the University of Oregon together around a ban
quet given by them in honor of Dean John Straub of that in
stitution? Wonderful character readily accessible through a
charming personality—that is the answer.
Ten college generations have come and gone from the Oregon
campus during the 43 years which Dean Straub has been associ
ated with Oregon’s university, and he is beloved by all.
Seattle persons, at one time students at the University of
Oregon, have united to bring the “Grand Old Man” of the
Oregon institution to Seattle to witness the football game and
to attend a banquet, given in his honor—a well merited tribute
singularly unusual.
When Dean Straub came to Oregon there were 167 students reg
istered, and all but 40 of them were taking high school work. The
first graduation was held the year before he came, but he has a part
in all since that time.
Beyond a doubt Dean Straub is the best-loved college professor
in the West. Ever since he has been at Oregon he has been the friend
and protector of the freshmen, and as the students become older
and have taken their leave, their respect for the dean has increased.
Prom every corner of the West come assurances that the memory of
Oregon without the kindly figure of Dean Straub would be incom
plete indeed.
No tribute, no honor is too great for Dean Straub. His service
to the University is immeasurable. Par above any motives of per
sonal gain, he has given the best years of his life to the cause of edu
cation. Oregon would not be Oregon without him.

“LEMMY” IS SQUELCHED
To the Editor:
I have read witli some interest the
article entitled “Blue Sundays” which
appears in the latest issue of Lemon
Punch and, although I am official
spokesman for no one, I cannot help
but comment on it.
Leaving the moral issue out entirely
this article seems to me to contain a
very startling confession. If the wri
ter is correct, by far the greater part of
our students, those who are looked to
to uphold the honor of our school, our
state, and our country tomorrw, are so
absolutely devoid of individuality that
one day a week on which they are de
prived of their movie and their dance
becomes (I use the writer’s own
phrase) the “bluest of all days.” If
we have thus far lost our personal in
itiative and our sense of the real vaj
ues of life we are indeed in a bad way.
However, 1 believe that this article
is merely a presumptuous editor’s state
ment of what “we ’’think and that the
situation is really not as bad us this.
Respectfully submitted,
i E. II.' HENRIKSOX.

CHEMIST WRITES BOOKS
ON GOLD AND ALCOHOL
Former Professor, H. I. Cole, Compiles
Works on Industries of
Philippine Islands
Professor Howard Irving Cole, for
merly an instructor in the chemistry de
partment of the University and now
connected with the bureau of science
at Manila,'Philippine Islands, recently
wrote two works, one on the scholastic
industry of the islands and the other
on the detection of gold. The first ar
ticle is entitled the “Manufacture of
industrial alcohol and alcoholic motor
fuel in the Philippine Islands.” It
deals with the sources of raw material
used in the production of alcohol, in
cluding palms, especially nipa palms,
molasses, various cereals, cassova, bam
boo and other cellulose products; alco
holic mixtures as fuel for internal-corn
bustion engines; and the manufacture
of alcohol ether motor fuel. According
to Professor Cole alcohol with ether is
one of the best substitutions for gaso
line.
The second article on the “Use of
textile fibers in microscopic chemical
analysis,” discusses the detection of
gold by means of stannous chloride and
pyrogallal with viscose silk fibers. In
this work Professor Cole says viscose
silk fiber dyed with stannous chloride
and pyrogallal gives a very sensitive
method of detection of gold; that the
test fibers are stable, as there was nc
decrease in the sensitiveness at the end
of six months; and that a drop of solu
tion containing 0.000,022 milligrams of
gold gives a positive test for gold by
this method.
Most of the research work for the ar
ticles was done by Mr. Cole, with some
readings on the subject. A copy of each
of the articles is at the office of the
geology department of the University,
Professor Cole taught in the chemistry
department in 1919-20.
EMERALD TO INSTALL
‘ INFORMATION SERVICE
File System to Be Used; Staff Will Be
Chosen from Persons Trying
Out for the Places
An information service is to be es
tablished in the Emerald office at the
beginning of next term. Ths system,
which the Emerald had two years ago,
is a part of the organization of every
large newspaper.
A catalog file system is, planned in
which all articles printed in the Em
erald will be cut out and placed on file
under the heading to which it belongs.
A record of the statistics of each de
partment in the University will also Toe
kept so that reference can be made
at any time to the history of the schools
of the University.
The staff will be organized on the
same plan as the present news staff, but
will probably be smaller. The person
nel will be taken from those trying
out for the news staff at the present
time. This system will give an oppor
tunity to non-journalists to secure a po
sition on the Emerald staff.
“MIDSUMMER MADNESS” AT REX
Prominent authors whose works are
adapted into motion pictures frequently
complain that their stories are mutilat
ed in the transition. Their brain-child
ren fall into unsympathetic hands, they
assert, and they, the authors, have noth
ing to say in the matter.
The result was that when ‘‘Midsum
mer Madness” was completed and Mr.
Hamilton, upon his return to New York,
witnessed a showing of the picture, he
sent Mr. De Mille an enthusiastic tele
gram praising the production to the
skies.
Perhaps patrons of the Castle theater
when they see “Midsummer Madness”
today, will be inclined to do likewise.
NO STAMP DRIVE THIS YEAR
