FOUNDER OF LAW
SCHOOL HONORED
Richard H. Thornton Receives
Degree in Portland
Hailed as an epoch maker in the his
tory of the state of Oregon, Bichard
H. Thornton, 78, founder and first dean
of the University of Oregon law school,
received his degree of Doctor of Laws
from P. L. Campbell, president of the
University, at a luncheon held Saturday
at the Portland hotel in Portland.
Dr. Thornton in 1884, at the request
of Matthew P. Deady, then a member
of the University board of trustees, es
tablished the first school of legal edu
cation in Portland with seven students
the first year, and two in the first
graduating class. The fact that the
school was almost entirely self-support
ing at first, asking nothing from the
University, was especially mentioned in
praise given to the courage and ability
of the founder.
Work Is Recounted
During the ceremonies, the dean and
doctor of laws, himself, sat, a small,
kindly, white-haired old man, in his cap
and gown, as he listened soberly to the
men who told of his work and services.
At some mention of the humorous
events among his memories, the dean
turned to President Campbell with a
smile and some whispered comment. At
no other time did his face assume
other than a little tired, thoughtful at
titude.
A talk on the scope of education
formed a part of the newly made doc
tor of law’s acceptance of the honor.
He spoke of the need of better arrange
ment of the steps in education, which
should make primary, high school and
college education fit more closely to
gether. The failure of education to ac
complish all it should, in his opinion,
is due to too much stressing of such
subjects as classics and mathematics
“It would have been better for the
England of today if the men of 100
years ago had paid more attention to
economics than to oratory,” he de
clared. .
“The aim of education should be the
discovery and development of genius,”
he continued. “It displays itself in
various forms and more people have
some special aptitude than we com
monly suppose.
“Someone who should have known
better, it may have been Buffon, the
French naturalist, said that genius is
merely an infinite capacity of taking
pains. It is nothing of the kind—a
man may indeed stifle the gift that is
in him by laziness; but all the pains
in the world will not make a genius
out of a plodder—unless ho can rise
above his task.”
Deady Was Blacksmith
He hero mentioned the first presi
dent of the University board of re- |
gents, Matthew P. Deady. “Ho was at
one time a blacksmith but ho did not
continue at his forgo. He had ability
and he knew he had it; he educated;
himself, and became in his day the
foremost citizen of Oregon.
“The function of the University is
not to discover genius, but to develop ^
genius already discovered. And this I
take to be the true meaning of the
University motto: ‘Mens agitat mo
lcm,’ literally translated, ‘Minds move
mountains

Delta lau Delta Takes in Bachelorlou
Qiur.tet With Big Score, 41-11;
Two Games Listed Today
The 1 ota Theta Pi hoopers wruled
a hs.u lought victory from the Alpha
Tau Omega quinto. MLterday afternoon
bv tr score of 28 to 21. This wts
proba'd) *he best P^l^d game of the
season to date, with -oth teams striving
for every possible i* U outage.
Tne two teams opened up in the
second half and played with every
uonce of energy in them until the final
whistle blew. The Betas played together
well and the scoring was fairly evenly
divided, all but one if their men caging
at least six points.
The Delta Tau Delta team won from
the Bachelordon basketeers by the lop
sided score of 41 to 11. The game was
fairly hard fought during the first
half, which ended 15 to 7.
The Delts started to find the basket
in the last half, and with some phe
nomenal shooting coupled with some
ragged checking on the part of the
losers, managed to roll up the score.
The game was especially noted for its
“holding on” and became a regular
“rough and tumble” affair during part
of the second period. This defeat elimi
nates the Bachelordon team from sec
ond place in League C and leaves the
Delts undisputed in their second berth.
The games for today:
Oregon Club vs. Sigma Nu at 5 p. m.

Shooting; Ellean Fargher Flays
Good Game at Forward
A hard-fought game was played last
night between Delta Zeta and Alpha
Delta Pi with a final score of 32 to 20,
in favor of Delta Zeta. The score indi
cates an easy game, but it was only
with extra hard playing that Delta
Zeta got the lead, since at the end of
the first half it stood 15 to 14 for the
winners. It was one of the most excit
ing games that have been played, with
Doia Hyrup, Alpha Delta Pi forward,
starring with her excellent basket
shooting. For Delta Zeta, Ellean Farg
her excelled in her position of forward,
and Easter Craddock played a good
game as guard. Emma Waterman
refereed the game.
Pi Beta Phi beat Chi Omega by a
narrow margin in the game played last
night. The score was 11 to 9 at the
end of the game and a tie of 5 to 5 at
the end of the first half. The tean
work cf both teams was good through
out, with Mildred Marsh starring as
C ni Omega forward and Janet Wood
playing an excellent game as center for
Pi Phi. Adah Haikness refereed.

BOTANY CLASS PLANTS
EXPERIMENTAL GARDEN
Bulbs of Native Lamb’s Tongues Being
Grown for Comparative Study
and Classification
Bulbs of many native lambs’ tongues
have been planted in the experimental
garden sponsored by the botany depart
ment. The garden is located south of
the extension division building and the
planting in the garden is going forward
’rapidly. The plants that are already
planted will be used as a means of com
parative Btudy. Eight species of lambs’
tongues, native in distinct regions of the
state, are being used.
The work is undertaken by members of
the advanced class in botany. Many
plants native to Oregon have as yet been
unclassified and through the results of
this experimental study many of the
plants will be classified.
