Neglecting Our Front Door
The Oregon campus is often praised for its beauty, but it is safe
to assume that those who praise get farther than the entrance. The
trees and walks in the center of the campus are beautiful and well
kept, and the ivy on the buildings lends a picturesque and learned
atmosphere. But the west end of the campus—the front door—can
hardly be praised for its beauty. The section of the campus which
first meets the eye of the visitor has no beautiful trees to add to its
appearance. Although this cannot be speedily remedied, it would be
possible to improve the looks of the front door by removing the old
tennis backstops, clearing out the dead weeds from a misplaced
flowergarden of last year, improving the lawns, and clearing out
piles of earth left by Kincaid street pavers.
In thinking of campus entrances it is impossible to refrain from
making comparisons. Those who have visited Stanford campus have
remarked at the long palm-lined driveway which leads to the first
building. At other California institutions entrances are beautified
by statues and pillars. Washington’s front door shows evidence of
careful planning. Entrances to the campuses of several Eastern
colleges are striking examples of beauty and harmony.
Doubtless the plan for the University campus of the future does
provide for such an entrance. It would not be complete unless it did.
But until there are enough new buildings to outline the new plan,
until old Kincaid is the center of a new quadrangle there is something
lacking.
The first impression campus visitors get should be one of order and
beauty. For the present it would be enough if the tennis backstops
were cleared away and the lawn improved. If there are to be more
tennis courts there are other places more suitable than in the front
yard. They should be in the vicinity of the gymnasiums. The paving
of Kincaid street was the first step. Beautification of the lower
end of the campus should be the next.
Why A College Education?
I w o tilings one may reasonably expect to carry home from
college, says President Faunce of Brown University. “These are
horizon and mastery.”
Those of us who went to college from the farm or country village
or from any land of little things either in country or city, know that
at college we got to the higher ground and the wider view. The world
of geography, ot history, of science, of art and literature, was far
greater and a finer world than we had ever dreamed. After we had
mingled with the great men of the ages gone and of our own times,
many of the people and the things we had thought great looked small
to us.
This is what is called “horizon.” But, says President Faunce,
‘horizon is not enough. A man may be so broad that he is flat. There 1
is no intellectual joy quite so great as the sense of having mastered
some corner of the world’s knowledge so that at one point we have j
passed from heresay to reality. —Portland Telegram.
hrauk Branch lliley has perhaps done more than any other man
to advertise the Pacific Northwest, Students who heard him at as
sembly yesterday morning understand the reason why. Those in
charge of securing assembly -speakers should be commended for
bringing a man of this type to Eugene.
FOREST SERVICE MAN
SAYS TIMBER GOING
i*
Is. H. Dater, Portland. Addresses Tech
nical Society; Shows How Trans
portation Affects Lumber Supply
“Our virgin timber is rapidly dis
appearing and it is only a matter of
time before the taking of timber from
the forests will be attended with the
strictest regulations,” said 1’. 11. Hater,
chief engineer of the forest service, of
Portland, who addressed tho meeting
of the Technical society in Heady hall,
Wednesday evening. The south and
far west are now practically the only
important sources of our timber sup
ply and there has been a 37 per cent
decrease in the production of lumber
in the past 13 years,” he said
I'li** beginning of forest conservation
in the United States was probably on
Arbor Day, 187:.', while the passage of
| the Weeks Law in 1911 provided for
the purchase of timber by the govern
ment, said Mr. Dater.
One of the greatest losses in the.
j forests comes from fires which are
largely the result of man’s earless
I ness, this probably being largely why
j one of the chief duties of engineers
! and rangers in the forest service is
! fire fighting, in the opinion of the
I speaker.
While there are many hardships in
the lives of men in the forestry service,
| there is also a satisfaction in it that
comes from the knowledge of having
helped one’s people and of doing whole
some, out-of-door work that keeps the
men in the service “on the job,” said
Mr. Dater. I

“BOHEMIAN GIRL” WINS
MUSIC-LOVERS’ PRAISE
Balfe’s Old Favorites Sung With Fine
Effect by American Light
Opera Company
One of the most delightful treats
lovers of music can avail themselves of
is the season of opera being given by
the American Light Opera company,
which opened at the Heilig theatre last
night with “The Bohemian Girl,” by
William Michael Balfe.
The company is flue of the best that
has been in* Eugene for some time, the
costumes and scenery are fresh and at
tractive, and the entire performance
'was worthy of highest commendation.
The scene of The Bohemian Girl is
placed in Presburg, Hungary, during
the 19th century. Almost everyone
knows the story of Arline, daughter
of' the Count Arnheim, who is kid
napped from her father’s estate by the
I gypsies, Devilshoof. their chief and the
Gypsy Queen, her eventual rescue by
.Thaddeus, and their romantic court
ship.
j\ The music of The Bohemian Girl
is beautiful and some of the old famil
iar airs, The Heart Bowed Down, Then
' You ’ll Remember Me, and I Dreamt I
Dwelt In Marble Halls, were enthusi
. astically received.
Paula Ayres, contralto and Theo.
Pennington, soprano, wore in excellent
j voice and both sang with exquisite in
terpretation and depth of feeling. Har
I ry Pfell, in the part of Thaddeus com
pletely won over his audience with
his clear resonant voice, and range of
notes.
The company is playing The Mikado
tonight, with Harry Pfell in the role
of Nanki Poo. Paula Ayers singing
Katisha, and Theo Pennington playing
Yum-Yum. H. M. S. Pinafore, a Gil
bert and Sullivan comic opera is to be
given Saturday afternoon and the en
gagement will close with Robert Pan
quctte’s The Chimes of Normandy,;
'Saturday evening.
FROSH TO BE FETED
BY WOMEN OF CLASS
Triple A Plans Acquaintance Party
for Friday Evening. January 26; j
Dance is Dateless
The women of the freshman class
are promising the men an evening of
festivity Friday, January 26, according
to Betty Rauch, chairman of the social
committee of Triple A, the organiza
tion of first year women, who will en
tertain the men with an informal dance.
The gymnasium of the Woman’s
building has been obtained for the af
fair. The committee provided for the i
largest hall in town, for the reversal
bf conventionalities is expected to
bring forth the first year men in large
numbers.
Men will come to the dance dateless,
and with Lady Luck on their side,!
manage to secure their desired part
ners. One of the mews of selecting
partners will be a sheet stunt. Girls
will be placed behind sheets, slits re-1
vealing their eyes. It will be a mighty j
poor freshman who will not be able to
select his fair maiden by the eye test.
Other Innovations will be used to en- j
liven the evening. Paul Joneses,
ladies choice and tag dances will be
employed as a means of making every
one acquainted. Good music, refresh
ments and a clever feature will provide
amusement for the ‘ mighty class.'
Lack of dignity and formality will
l>e the keynote of the affair, according
to the workers on the committees. '
ETHEL WAKEFIELD, ’20
IS AUTHOR OF ARTICLE
Education Monthly Publishes Treatise
on Teaching by Ex-University
High School Instructor
The Visual Education Monthly, a
New York publication, has published
an article of interest by Ethel Wake
field, ’20, a teacher in the University j
high school. The subject is “Teaching •
Literature with Films and Slides,” I
and was written entirely from the ex- ,
periences Miss Wakefield had while
head of the English department in the
University high school. It deals with
the recent tendencies in education
toward visualizing subjects in the class j
croom with the aid of film and slide.
“It is a mistake to introduce the
classic by means of pictures. Such
procedure curtails the individual’s own
interpretation and imaginative powers
j by setting up for him definite ready
i made opinions as to character, ideals,
and motives. These opinions he should
] form for himself. The plan of using
| the film as a climax to the study is
' the best plan,” writes Miss Wakefield,
j The writer deals with the financing
: of the film service, the participation of
i the students in the production in the
1 school, and lectures and comments on
' the pictures. “In the University high
[ school one film which cost eighteen
dollars to book was recently shown
| under the management of the senior
i class, which thereby added some thirty
dollars to its treasury, but students
' should avoid all competition with local
theatres,” states Miss Wakefield.
A list o " films is given, which is
useful for lherature classes. This list
• includes many plays of Shakespeare:
(Dickens’ “Tale of Two Cities,” “The
| Christmas Carol;” the books of George
Eliot/ Stevenson, Washington Irving,
i and Walter Scott. The article is ac
! companied by scenes from many his
, torieal plays which have been produced
in the last year, showing the opening
I tof a broad, new field in education.
CLUB WILL HEAE TALKS
The G and M society, Condon club
| lias obtained as speakers for its meet
; ings this term, Drs. H. J. Tanner, J.
; H. Bovard and E. Thorstenberg. These
I men are lecturers of merit, who pre
| sent their talks in an informal style
] that has proved popular with audiences.
Besides the regular business of the
I club, hikes will be undertaken, and the ;
annual dance will be given this quarter.
15,976 BOOKS BEAD IN YEAK
The school of business administra
i t ion library gave out 15,976 books dur
j ing the past year, according to figures
! compiled by Dorothy Lowry, the li
' brarian. These books do not represent
j fiction, but were used by the stu
j dents in connection with their class
• work. '
