AGAINST THE GRAIN, by J. K. Huysmans. With John Howard’s transla tion of “A Rebours,” we are at last able to appreciate this work of an icy mind with the best of French men. This is a view of the world through an artist’s eyes. Huysmans, as the mind of Des Esseintes, like the scientist, shows us a dread world. Here, where only the senses are recognized, we watch our pet prides ignored and frozen by the mere touch of Huysmans’ forceful mind. Not that Huysmans is an iconoclast; he docs not care what the world does; he writes only to amuse himself or a friend. In picturing ennui of the due Jean, Huysmans drags us through a curious labyrinth of thought. Helplessly mazed, we burst here upon the due in his pinkly glowing boudoir, rush out to behold him in the next room fingering his books and shrinking from Virgil with dis gust, stumble into the due as he contemplates his chosen paintings, back out into the corridor to be trampled beneath the feet of the due and his toothless naked phan tom of a pursuer. With the last words of the book we fall a million miles through space into the very arms of the due, who hugs us to his breast and so we may hear his heart cry, “Mercy, O God, upon my hopelessness.” The worljl as the due sees it is a driveling bore, and the fools who take religion, government and life seriously, are to laugh. But this is in no way a moral, and Huysmans pretends to solve no problems or to propound none. Life is simply life —and he so pictures it. Huysmans’ writing has already been described as jewel-like. Decad ent as it is, each phrase and word is chosen with the concern of a lover. This book asks not to convince in order to be appreciated. Personally I know it fit for reading of “Men Like Gods,” and even for us tetchy mortals. —JOE BRILL.

Due to the unexpected press oi business at the capital, Governoi Pierce was unable to deliver his address at the conference. Literary Gossip by PAT MORRISSETTE Even before the days when young Omar smoked hashesh in a Persion pup tent, and Hafiz touched up the philosophy of “ he-loves-me-not” in the famous Rose Gardens, man, whether Cro-Magnon or not, would have been touched with the wis dom, undoubtedly inspired, of Elinor Glyn’s “Philosophy of Love.” And book sales—throughout Am erica—prove it. The lady’s cere brations on the- matter * compose America’s best-selling non-fiction book. And the seconds are getting further and further behind. As Rebec is not giving a course in these stuff this year, it would not be a bad idea if the household arts department ordered a copy for the University seven-day shelf at the library. Along with a cook book it ought to be in every home. Love is a great thing, etc. Love is stronger than death, etc., etc. Yes, etc.! P. S.: Elinor’s book is one of these things one has to be eighteen to buy. Everybody under eighteen is buying it. Well, well. Ben Hecht is ad vertising his next novel. We won der if it really could be worse than “Gargoyles.” The library is very fortunate in being able to have one of the signed limited first editions of Joseph Conrad’s “The Rover.” It is a beautiful book. If you really want to read the American Mercury, that rather un satisfactory perversion of the Smart Set, it will not be long before it New Pastor for Eugene Bishop Shepard announces the transfer to the Oregon Conference of Kev. J. F. Haas from the Ne braska Conference and his appoint ment to the First Church, Eugene. It is expected that he will begin work about the middle of January. The new appointee, entered the Nebraska Conference in 1910 and has risen steadily to a place of leadership in its councils. He is now in the sixth year of a successful pastorate at Beatrice, one of the leading charges of the state. He comes highly re commended as possessing the quali ties requisite to success at the Eu gene church with its important local constituency and its wider ministry the faculty and .students of the Un iversity of Oregon. The Rev. Mr. Haas is slightly over forty years of age, is married and has two daugh ters. (Paid adv.)

Thompson'8 “The Unadjusted Girl” has arrived at the library and will immediately be put on reserve. Adjustment is a great fac tor. Yes. Yes. And furthermore: The Burton edition of the Arabian Nights ought to be in the stacks this week. These little books just escaped being locked up in the University vaults. But why put them in the vault? They are not really naughty, you know. Just here—and there, etc. The poor old Arabs were not tliink inb about the United States when they were writing the things. The edition is in fifteen volumes and will be quite valuable for research students. Burton's, as well as be ing the best, is the most complete l translation of the famous stories. Vault, or no vault, it will be quite the healthy thing to have them treking about the campus—instead of rusting on the shelves. Sidelights, Spirit of Meetings, Recorded (Continued From Page One.) taking notes and all were at least listening attentively. No, the" prepper that fell out of bed at one of the fraternity houses wasn’t drunk-—he “couldn’t get used to them narrow beds.” College night was about the best campus program that has been staked this year. More students are attending it too. The Woman's building was full. Last year Vii lard was barely filled up. Seemed sort of queer to see a delegate wearing knee pants. The girls over at the Delta Gamma house can take the slips of paper off the davenports and chairs now. After the election of officers they showed that they had the stuff that makes Oregon students famous. They handshook like veterans. , Another thing all the football : men were there to receive their sweaters. Oregana “Gang” Becomes Active Probably one of the very busiest places on the entire campus just at present is the small office in the journalism shack where the year .book “gang*’ is working day in and day out and oftentimes far into the night with a mass of pictures and scissors and paste in an effort to bring out of the chaos an Oregana “worthy of Oregon.” Sections are rapidly assuming the appearance of completion and the office resounds with the click of shears and the swish of paste brushes, while gradu ally but surely the 1924 Oregana is taking shape.
