Here’s One Opinion!
An interesting contribution to the current discussion of the rela
tive value of studies and of student activities is made by F. C. Ferry*
in “Proceedings of the Association of American Colleges.” “Is it
the student with the high grade average, or the ..student with the
large number of activities, who is more often successful in life after
graduation?” he asks.
“Many attempts have been made to prove that it is distinction in
the extra-curriculum affairs, the so-called ‘activities,’ which leads
to distinction in the man’s more serious subsequent undertakings,
but such attempts have led to no confident conclusion and no an
nounced findings. Yet one has been permitted to read within a
half-dozen years many articles made up of sound statistical evidence
in support of the argument that high scholarship in college makes
for success in life. To such abundant evidence of the close connec
tion between scholarship in college and success in life the ears of
the undergraduate are peculiarly deaf,” says Mr. Ferry.
Are students biased in their consideration of the subject? Do they
close their ears when an argument is brought up contrary to their
own notions? The opinion of Mr. Ferry is printed for what it is
worth. What is your opinion? Sit down and write it for the com
munication column.
We’re Glad It’s Settled
The decision of the faculty to retain the terra plan is highly grat
ifying to most of the students. With the troublesome question fin
ally out of the way it will again be possible for faculty and students
to make plans for the future. In the future there should be some
means of preventing passing of legislation of a drastic nature by a
bare majority.
. Red “Galluses” Not Needed
Oregon men sympathize with the men at the University of Chicago
who declared for “freedom of the male” by wearing red “gallusses”
to classes. Western freedom of dress was accomplished without ant
such dramatic demonstration, however.
Only a Matter of Time
With the constantly increasing number of cars parked on the
campus it is probably only a matter of time until some enterprising
business man will want to construct a service station and auto camp
under the Condon oaks.
The Kmcrald congratulates Scroll and Script on the successful
petition to Mortar Board, and expresses the sentiment of the campus
in welcoming it to Oregon.
EXTENSION MONITOR IS
POPULAR PUBLICATION
Next Issue to Contain Summary of
Activities for Past Year; Miss
Moselle Hair Is Editor
The Extension Monitor, published by
the University extension division, tins
been used since 1913 ns u means of
making announcements to correspon
deuce students. This is the way in
which ttiese students receive general
information about lessons, which they
would otherwise get in class, according
to Dr. 1'an K. Clark, assistant director
of the extension division.
Well written short stories and parts
of* instructive and interesting lessons
are published in the Monitor, as are
the names of those who complete their
courses. Copies are sent about nine
times during the year, at irregular in
tervals, to correspondence students.
l.ast year, several women’s study
clubs, throughout the state, interested
in Oregon history, scut for the Monitor,
in order to get suggestions for study.
In this way, numbers of wider interest
were published and there was a larger
circulation. However, the ordinary
routine numbers are made of the stu
dent’s own work.
The next issue, which will be out i
next week, will contain a general sum
mary of the activities of the division
for the last year. About 1500 copies
arc usually printed although this num
her varies. The Monitor, of which Miss
Moselle Hair, secretary of correspon
deuce study of the University, is editor,
is printed in Eugene by the University
press.

FACULTY MEETING POSTPONED*
On account of the absence of Pres
ident P. L. Campbell of the University
from the campus this week the regular
faculty meeting has been postponed un
til next Wednesday, February 21.
Records of Department’s Grad
uates Are Praised
I
The list of honor students for pre
vious years includes a large percentage
of those students who are well trained
in mathematics and especially is this
true in the fields of economics, chemis
try, biology, physics and law, according
to E. E. DeCou, head of the mathemat- j
ies department.
Graduate students in^the department ;
have made fine records in other institu
tions including Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, Cornell, Columbia and
Chicago universities.
Word has just been received that
Miss M. Lucile Copenhaver who was
! an assistant instructor in the Univer
j sity for two years after taking her de
j gree, has received a graduate scholar
ship from Chicago University. The head
I professor of mathematics in that insti
i tution, a personal friend of Professor
j DeCou, writes that Miss Copenhaver has
been doing fine work and is well liked
by her associates.
Mrs. Elizabeth Carson-Nichol, a grad
uate student, is director of the exten
sion courses and under her supervision I
the enrollment has greatly ■ increased.
Mrs. Nichol is now working on some
keys or explanations and suggestions
for the solving of problems, to be used
in algebra and trigonometry correspon
dence courses which will be used by
the United States Navy. A survey of
extension courses was made by the di
rector of educational work of the Uni
ted States Navy with the result that
the Oregon courses were chosen and
have been in use for about three years
now.
Two students will probably take their;
master’s degree in the department this;
summer, states Professor DeCou. They
are Richard M. Elliot, graduate of Pa
cific University, who has been taking
work here for the past two years, and
Mrs. Minnie Holman who was in school
last term and expects to return in the
spring. Mrs. Holman has been a high ;
school teacher and principal and has j
taken work at the University of Chi- j
cago.
Miss Alice Thurston, an honor stu
dent and graduate in the department,
is now teaching in the Klamath Falls
high school.
“Mathematics is not a finished and
complete subject,” said Professor De
Cou in discussing the discoveries that J
are constantly being made in the field.;
“The American scholars,” he continued,!
“rank with the best in the world. The
University department,” said Profes-1
sor DeCou, “is promoting research work
and strengthening the department by
building up a complete library of math
ematical books and files of mathemati
| cal journals including American, Ger
man, French, English and Italian per
iodicals. j
MISS SCOTT BUSY AT SALEM

: of journalism, who is in Salem for

RAKING CAMPUS IS BIG JOB
Thirty Wagon Loads of Leaves Make
Mountain Behind Depot
The falling leaves in autumn may be
a favorite theme for poets but they
cause a lot of work for the University
clean-up men. Back of the University
depot is a small mountain of leaves that
were raked off the campus last fall.
One workman estimated the pile to con
tain at least thirty large wagon loads
of leaves. The raking of leaves was
not finished until the last of the fall
term.
According H. M. Fisher, superin
tendent of grounds, in charge of the
clean-up on the campus, the maples shed
the most leaves, and next come the
oaks.
HANDBALL FINALS POSTPONED
