Bringing Ideas to Oregon
It is sometimes contended that an institution of higher learn
ing is something impractical; something that specializes in
theory and has very little relation to the matter-of-fact world.
The increasing use wj*ieh matter-of-fact men are making of the
colleges and universities of the country is doing much to dispel
this idea.
In the short space of two weeks there have come to the
Oregon campus two important gatherings of practical men_
men who are daily in contact with the problems of the world
outside the campus. The Stateu Editorial association and the
Retail Merchants’ association have both found it expedient to
make use of the facilities of the University for their conven
tions and for the solution of their problems. Both of these as
sociations of business men find it advantageous to keep in touch
with the faculty members who are taking up their problems in
classroom discussion. The merchants find that the faculty of
the school of business administration is of real use to them in
the solution of their problems. The newspaper men of the
state find that they gain much by an exchange of ideas with
the faculty of the school of journalism.
But from the student viewpoint these conferences have a
decided value in combating any tendency to^diy clear of prac
tical affairs. Men ot' long experience are brought to the campus
to work out their problems and hence form an extremely valu
able means of contact for the student body.
Everyone in the University would do well to familiarize
himself with the questions taken up in such conferences and
to get in touch with as many of the visitors as possible.
Such gatherings bring to Oregon a splendid opportunity for
personal contact between the students and leading men of the
state.
WALSTRUM GIVES FIRST
RECITAL ON CAMPUS
Pianist Is Assisted by John B.
Seifert and Aurora Underwood
in Alumni Hall
By Josephine Kico
Theodore Price Wnlstrum made |
his bow to the campus under favor
able auspices Monday night, when
he gave a piano recital, assisted by
John H. Siofert and Aurora Potter
Underwood, at Alumni hall. His
program was interesting and varied, ;
comprising selections from mostly
modern composers. His interprets
tions of Chopin were especially well
received by his large audience. II is
technique is careful, in fact, his
playing is characterized by restraint
and deliberation. "digue,” by
Loeilly-dodowsky, with Us strange
minor harmonies, was ably inter
preted. Chopin's beautifully melodic
“K Major Study" was played with
a depth of feeling Perhaps the
best numbers on his program were
the last group, "The Juggeress," by
Moskowski, displaying a very pleas
ing delicacy of touch. Two numbers
by' Paderewski, "Nocturne” an 1
“Cracovienne Fantastique,” closed
his program, llis interpretation of
them was marked with richness of
understanding of the spirit of (Slavic
melancholy iti them.
Mr. Siefert's songs were well 1
chosen, bringing out to advantage
his remarkable high range, Pear'.
Curran’s “In Autumn" was the
heaviest number in his first group,
having a powerful climax. In his
last group, he sang two songs with
a violin obligato by Hex Underwood.
Of these, Rimsky-Koraakow’s "The
Rose Enslaves the Nightingale,”
with muted obliguto, wms nn exc|ui
sito number, :i weird strain of sup
fprt'ssVd m,elmi<*|ioh\ Kaebmani
11 off’s “O Pease Thy Singring,
Maiden Fair,” was also a powerful
number.

mers. Coach Fa hi’s men have
shown considerable improvement
since tlie last meet with the fresh

PLAY TO BE FEATURED
BY SIMPLE SETTINGS
I “School for Scandal” Laid
in Former Century
Simple back-stage hangings, cre
I ating the illusion of greater space,
I will be an interesting feature of the
production of Sheridan’s “School
! for Scandal” by the senior com
pany at Guild hall, March 6, 7 and 8.
; These simple settings will not only
■ serve the purpose of greatly facili
■ tating the production of this five
1 act play, but will also serve to
! transport the audience to the times
with which the play deals, by intro
ducing the quaint air of artificiality
that characterized eighteenth cen
tury life.
Rehearsals for the “School for
Scandal” are well under way, and
some good work is being done. The
large cast and the length of this
famous comedy make its direction
and production difficult, but full
justice is being given to it. Those
who are taking prominent roles are
I Elizabeth Robinson, Wenona Dyer,
Katherine Pinneo, Betty Belle Wise,
Bernard McPhillips, Darrell Lar
son, Dave Swanson, Virgil Mulkey,
! Gordon Wilson and Paul Krausse.
The “School for Scandal” is full
of literary and dramatic humor, and
has many very good comedy situa
! tions. Though its brilliant artifice
i hints of times foreign to ours, its
humor is so fundamentally human
land its expose of human foibles so
true, that it appeals directly to the
most modern of audiences.
Later in March, Pustro’s “The
Two Virtues” will be given by the
company with Miss Banfield and
Mr. Reddie starring. The remainder
of the cast includes Beth Fariss,
Katherine Pinneo, Gerda Brown,
Helga McGrow, Paul Krausse and
Elmer Hardenburg. This delightful
comedy is a gentle satire on society
and its small gossip, with a good
plot and lovable characters. Jeffrey
Panton, the leading figure in the
play, played by Mr. Reddie, is an
odd, absent-minded old bachelor,
living alone and cherishing a rose
and a faded portrait—relics of a
long past romance. He turns out
to have a peculiarly active sense
of humor, and this sense of humor
brings about a surprising twist at
the end. There is a charming
woman, Mrs. Guild£prd, taken by
[ Miss Banfield, who is a remarkable
[ person, shrou^led in mystjery till
j the end. A particularly,good comedy
role is being played by Paul Krausse
las the poet, an overdrawn and exag
! gerated melodramatic figure, wikl
| eyed for the most part. His wife
and Lady Milligan, played by Beth
j Fariss and Katherine Pinneo,
: respectively, are excellent types of
| the romantic woman who never out
! grows it, and the feline society
I loader. Helga McGrow takes the
1 part of Alice Exern, the one per
| fectly normal person in the play,
| a breezy, lively sort of girl, com
panion to Mrs. Guildford.
