EASTERN ARTISTS WILL
PRESENT THREE PLATS
Stewart Walker Company
Praised by Dr. Rebec
Apropos of the visit of the
Stewart Walker players, who will
be in Eugene February 5 and 6,
Dean George Rebec, dean of the
graduate school and professor of
philosophy, addressed a large group
of townspeople and members of the
University community, in the Wo
man ’s building, Monday night. Dr.
Rebec spoke on the “Book of Job,”
from which one of the plays of the
Walker company is taken, and Miss
Hair told of successes which the
Walker players have met with else
where.
These players, who have been
appearing in the east for spme time
with marked success, are playing to
western audiences for the first time.
They will he in Portland for five
days before coming here. They will
give three performances in Eugene,
two in the evening and one in the
afternoon.
Tuesday night, February 5, they
will present “Gods of the Moun
tain,” which is reputed to be iu
itself an artistic triumph. The
next afternoon there will be a
matinee at which a group called
“Three David Plays” will be put
on. The three plays are: “Six Who
Pass While Lentils Boil,” “Sir
David Wears a Crown,” and “The
King’s Great Aunt.” The last
night, Wednesday ,they will pre
sent “The Book of Job,” and of
all the Walker plays, this is praised
most highly by the critics.
“I believe that the ‘Book ot Jod
is undoubtedly the greatest master
piece of human artistic genius,” de
clared Dr. Rebec Monday night.
“It is the Hebrew genius at its
sublimest. It is not historic; it is
essentially and substantially dram
atic, and as such is one of the
world’s greatest masterpieces.”
Hr. Rebec explained the context
of the book, taking care to point
out the reactions of Job to his
trials, and the influence which the
three friends had upon his life.
“The Book of Job,” concluded
the Dean, “presents a picture of a
universe so mighty that man must
wonder at it, and wait upon it m
wonder and in patience. It port
rays man incurably and irradically
religious.”
Miss Hair referred to press and
personal comments upon the plays
to illustrate the popularity and
praise they have met with when
ever they have been given. Mrs.
Mary Watson Barnes, of the Eng
lish department, Miss Fitch, and
Miss Hair herself, are among Uni
versity of Oregon persons who have
seen one or all of the Walker pro
ductions, and who cannot over
estimate the pleasure and profit
whieh they gained thereby.
RACE QUESTION ONE
RAISED IN CONVENTION
(Continued from page one)
ing the world today, if the opin
' ion of scores of international speak
ers and of the six thousand repre
sentatives of a thousand institutions
of higher learning in the United
States and Canada, assembled at the
• Student Volunteer convention, can be
taken as a criterion of public opin
ion among the educated classes.
If that be true, it may be as
sumed that it is worth while to con
sider some of the opinions offered
there, and in very way possible try
to inform ourselves on this impor
tant world-wide issue.
Dr. Willus J. King of Atlanta,
Ga., colored, had this to say about
race prejudice:
“One of the most difficult prob
lems in our world today is that com
monly known as the ‘race problem’ ”
he said. “This is true from what
ever angle we view it, whether racial,
national or international, and there i
are those who believe that the next I
great war is in the making; that it
will be a race war; that in compar- j
ison to it, the recent world war will
hardly be a circumstance in the fer
ocity with which the struggle will
!be waged and the ruin and destruc
tion that will result from this bat
tle of the races.
“Human personality must be held
sacred and we must stop all lyneh
ings,” he continued, bringing the
problem of race prejudice home to
the United States. “Must there be
hatred and bloodspilling forever? I
would suggest a more excellent way.
It is the way of Jesus.”
"We must recognize that each
group has a distinct contribution to
be made to the total life of the
human race,” he continued.
Dr. T. Y. Tsu, professor in St.
John’s University, Shanghai, China,
held the opinion that “race preju
dice is engendered also by politicians
and by politically controlled news
papers.”
It was discovered in discussion
groups that student opinions differ
ed greatly. Each group had repre
sentatives of a hundred or more col
,'egcs from all sections of the United
States. Some of the students held
that there should be no racial dis
tinctions. Others said if there were
such distinctions they should be
drawn cooperatively.
A large, group were in favor of
| racial equality without inter-mi.r
! rtago. Other suggestions offered as
ia possible solution .were a single
i standard of morals, equal opportnn
' itv regardless of »ce or color, social
relations to be considered a personal
not a corporate matter, that segrega
tion is only a temporary expedient,
and that prejudice, varying accord
ing to contact, need be made a major
topic for consideration only where
it is a major problem.
Means suggested for the elimina
tion of race prejudice were, foster
ing of discussion groups on the cam
puses, changing the tone of the press
of the country, the recognition of
piricnality regardless of race, color
or creed, and an exchange of profes
sorships.
All students on the campus are in
vited to take issue with any of the
above statements. Ample opportun
ity will be given in discussion groups
dealing with this problem for any
student to give vent to his opinions
and to offer his contribution toward
a more thorough understanding of
this and other world-wide issuer.

TO EXHIBIT TODAY
(Continued from page one)
with a touch of delicacy and sen
sitiveness of treatment.
Etchings Excellent
Jacques has tried his hand at
Oregon scenery recently, and sev
eral of these canvases are exhibited
among the Belgian and Dutch
scenes.
The etchings are especially worthy
of praise. They are displayed under
glass on the tables in the middle
of the room. The artist is seen to
be a good draftsman, and one with
a sense of design. The color prints
are strong and full of feeling.
