One set of re formers occasionally suggests that all professional schools be abol ished, and other reformers suggest that all liberal arts courses are unnecessary. But suppose for a moment that the new graduate is not fitted for the world of business, or even that he has failed to learn lessons in citizenship. Universities have brought returns to society in another way. If there were any way to figure the actual value of colleges’ con tribution to the world’s store of scientific knowledge objectors would be silenced forever. In a recent article Chancellor Capen of the University of Buffalo brought out this point. “Scientific discoveries and the application of scientific know ledge to manufacturing, to commerce, to agriculture, to engineering processes, to the prevention and cure of diseases, which are respon sible for a large proportion of the actual profits of the nation’s busi ness have been an indirect return,” he says. “Wipe out the con tributions made by the universities during the last fifty years, and the industrial life of the nation would shrivel to insignificant dimen sions.” Institutions of higher learning in this state have made their share of Jhe contributions. The examples are numerous. The success of Professor Stafford is his experiments on wood which were recently announced is the latest, but it by no means stands alone. In every scientific department of the University research work is being car ried on which is surely making some contribution to human know ledge. Citizens of the state are beginning to appreciate the value of the Oregon medical school. Chancellor Capen’s last statement should be reiterated. “Wipe out the contributions made by the universities during the last fifty years, and the industrial life of the nation would shrivel to insignif icant dimensions.” Praise for the Band With the last home basketball game of the year a thing of the past it is only just that the University band be given a word of praise. The work of the baud at the games has been excellent. The Univer sity has always been in need of a good band, and for the first time in several years, the band is on the job, adding heavily to the enjoy nent of basketball evenings. For Your Enjoyment Tonight studeuts will have the opportunity to attend a Mask and Buskin play and tomorrow night to hear the Women’s Glee elub in annual home concert. Laying aside any consideration of supporting college activities, you will enjoy both. Past experience demonstrates that. “Scarcity of men for field events worries coaches,” says a head line in the Emerald. That is a challenge which should not go unan swered. Now is the time to get out for track. Are the alumni interested in the University? Would more rep resentation on the executive council help matters?

GRADUATE RECITAL GIVEN Hildred Hall, Pianist, Heard by Inter ested Audience in Alumni Hall llildred Hall, a senior in the school of music and a pupil of John Stark Evans, last evening gave her graduate recital in Alumni hall, with a poise and assurance that was delightful and which added greatly to the enjoyment of the program. Miss Hall opened her concert with three Bach numbers, “Prelude D ma jor,” “Fugue D major” and “Bouree B minor,” that were played with a sharp rythm, and distinctiveness and clarity of tone. A romantic group of two numbers, “On Wings of Song, Men delssolm-Liszt, which is extremely mel odic was played with a marked singing tone, and Chopin’s Etude Op. 10, No. 12, was interpreted with speed and bril liance. The restlessness of Rachmaninoff’s Prelude in G minor was vividly por trayed in the third group of the pro gram and was in decided contrast to the quaint humor of Tscliaikowsky’s “Humoreske” and the delicacy and distinctly American-ness of MacDow •11’a "Witches’ Dance.” Miss Hall used as a brilliant closing number, one movement of Schumann's “Concert, Op 54” to take the place of a sonata. Marvel Skeels, mezzo-soprano, assist ed Miss Hall, singing three songs, “The Asra,” Rubinstein; “Hindu Slumber Song,” Ware; and “Life’s Paradise,” Brown. BILL' HART AT REX That “Blil” Hart more than "packed ’em in” last night at the Rex' was the “go early” warning from those who attended the presentation yesterday of "White Oak,” which ends its two-day showing with tonight’s performances at the Rex. On this same program is Mack Sennett’s latest laugh lotion, "On Patrol.” And, speaking of laughs! Buster Keaton, he of the unthawed pliysiogno-, my, is to be presented with the cellu loid lire tongs tomorrow and Saturday when he is slated to display upon the Rex screen his red hot comedy concoc tion, "The Blacksmith.” Without even a driver’s license, Buster has shifted the lines of Longfellow’s immortal po em so that now it is “Under the spread ing chestnut tree, the village smithy stands. A large and brawny man is her—” with arms like rubber bands. “GARRISON'S FINISH” AT CASTLE Critics everywhere proclaim "Garri son’s Finish,” showing at the Castle today and for the rest of the week, one of the beet ell-round motion pictures of several seasons and all seem to agree that the lively and romantic Jack shines his brightest in the role afford ed him, that of a jockey around whom rotates a most exciting story such as will make everybody sit ou the edge of their chairs from beginning to end. It is a race-horse story and the big racing scenes were actually taken at the Ken tucky Derby. :ALL GRADES BEAT Women’s Standings Surpass Men’s; Graduate Students’ Average Is Higher T'hf average grades for the fall term )f 1922 are higher than those of the fall of 1921.

SOPHOMORES VICTORIOUS lunior Girl Hoopers Defeated; Final Score is 36-26 The sophomore first team was victor ious over the second junior hoopers last night, when the former scored 36 points against their opponents’ 26. At the --nd of the first half the juniors were 1,1 the lead, as a result of a spurt of rap id playing and accurate shooting. Grace Sullivan was responsible for most of the baskets dropped, running up the sophomore score. Interclass games with O. A: C. are scheduled to be played off at Corvallis the 24th of this month.

CHORUS REHEARSALS HELD Director for Festival Seeks Tenor, Bass and Contralto Voices Rehearsals of the chorus of Haydn’s! oratorio, The Creation, which is to be , the principal part of the May music ! festival, are being held Tuesday, Wed- | nesday and Friday of each week, and Rex Underwood, director, has asked that persons singing tenor, bass or con tralto—particularly tenor—report to the school of music and tryout for the chorus work. Both the men’s and women’s glee clubs are being used as the basis of the chorus and to make the festival espe cially worth while, students not in the club and townspeople have been asked to assist. Solo parts of The Creation are being taken by members of the glee clubs for the present, so that the chorus will be able to do constructive work, and for the festival these parts will be taken by Portland musicians. CALIFORNIA CLUB MEETS Some entertainmnt features planned for the winter and spring term and other important business vital to the success of the California club will be discussed at a meeting of that organiza tion, which will be held tonight at 7:30 in room 105 of the Commerce building, according to an announcement by the official board of the club.
