NEED OF CLUBHOUSE FOR FACULTY IS EXPRESSED Kincaid Site Proposed for Building of Moderate Cost; Expense Would Be Small with 200 Members A faculty clubhouse as a home for bachelor professors and as social head quarters for the faculty has been a long felt need on the Oregon campus. The formation of the Oregonia, a so cial club composed entirely of faculty members,is a definite and tentative steji in that direction, states Frederick 8. Dunn, professor of Latin, in the University. Much enthusiasm has been inspired among the faculty in discus sing this problem. A building of moderate cost as near the campus as possible would be most desirable. There are sites available on the Kincaid property and on 11th aven ue which would be most convenient. This building would have to be put up entirely at the expense of the faculty. But as there are practically 200 mem bers and individual expense would be small in comparison to the convenienc es and comforts that would be se cured. At present the faculty have no room to call their own for any entertaining or social event they may desire. The library is not provided with any ade quate study rooms which the faculty should have. When world famous men or distinguished and talented celebri ties make a brief visit to the campus many of the faculty members are un able to meet them or enjoy their visits because there is no selected headquar ters for their entertainment. Carl Sand- ; berg’s midnight party at the Anchor age is a case in point. The delightful hours sped away in an informal inti macy with one of the great poets of the century. It was a treat those pre sent will treasure as a privilege perhaps never to be experienced again. Those of the faculty who missed it cannot help but regret. “Such a building,” says Professor Walter C. Barnes, “would necessarily contain a lounging room, a dining room big enough for all the faculty, and a small library.” Discussing the problem further Pro fessor Barnes believes that the present social feeling among the faculty is so harmonious and enjoyable that a fac ulty club house is not needed to pro mote it. “I have never,” Professor Barnes said, “been anywhere in my experience where a faculty was more sociable, had more good will and worked more har moniously than the faculty of the Uni versity of Oregon.” The University of Washington has a faculty clubhouse as well as the Uni versity of California, the latter also having a faculty tennis court attached, where match games between the faculty and students take place. -—— -o AMERICAN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM IS CENSORED (Continued from page one.) the man. The Oxford idea is that the man trained after the Oxford plan will very speedily get his tools in after life and will always use them wisely there after. The American idea is that a man in getting the tools will somehow or other acquire the ability to use them wisely. “I think,” said the dean, “that Mr. Morley’s idea is susceptible of engraft ing on the American plan up to a cer tain point. I don’t think that the pure Oxford idea would succeed in Am erica—don’t think it even feasible to attempt it. As is so often the case the truth for America lies between.” CLASSIFIED ADS Minimum charge. 1 time, 25c; 2 times, 45c; 6 times, $1. Must be limited to 6 Unea, over this limit, 5c per line.
