Woodbury himself. When the venerable lecturer comes to this campus ever so often to fill us full of enthusiasm for one who inspired him, many fail to lose them selves in exaltation of Emerson to rather appreciate the ebulli ent wit, the drollery, and the reminiscences of Mr. Woodbury. Some may have goile to assembly to gain insight into the personality of Emerson, that peer of American philosophers, that beautiful and lovable man of letters, only now being taken by critics and literary appreciators unto their hearts. But those who have heard the Emerson lecture before, attended it to enjoy and renew acquaintance with Charles J. Woodbury. Mr. Woodbury was privileged to know Emerson personally. He declares that his intercourse with the philosopher changed the entire course of his life. And he loves to tell all he can remember about those days he spent with the leader of the Concord group. As Mr. Woodbury commences in bis description of the man he exalts to us, as he recalls the Lincoln-like figure, the “plough share nose,” the distinctive physiognomy, hardly hearing him, we notice the twinkle in the eye of the speaker. We enjoy him as he paces the platform, never finding himself a comfortable position, gesticulating to emphasize a detail, acting to more clear ly picture the gaunt Emerson himself, to show us how he fin gers his shredded manuscript, or gazes over the heads of his hearers, never looking them in the eye. When actors personify great historical figures the actors sometimes have more of our admiration while the characters they portray are dimmed in our minds. When Woodbury harks back to those best days of all, when he was young and full of enthusiasm of youth and overflowing in his worship of a great man, sympathy stirs our hearts, not tor Emerson, but lor Mr. Woodbury himself. Boswell wrote of Samuel Johnson, and performed in the writing a valuable service for life and for letters. And it is meritorious that today, believing as does Charles J. Woodlmrv in the principles and ideals for which Emerson stood, believing in the greatness of the man whose friendship he prized and whose memory lie cherished, he should preach Emersonian gos pel among us today. Alder Street Petrified Tree Given to University Dr. Packard Estimates Probable Ago at 2,000,000 Years V petrified tree that once at tracted considerable notice in the lawn of Mrs. ('ora H Rhodes, 14SS Alder street, has been given by the owner to the geology department. The tree is 12 feet long and was carried to Alder street in sections from its former location near Spen cer's Butte. It is now in back of the Administration building and will be assembled at a later date. The tree, according to I)r. E. E. Packard, of the geology depart ment, is of the oligocene period, that is, it is .probably 2,000,000 years of age. Dr. Packard lias not yet thor oughly examined the tree, but from his brief inspection, he states that it is probably a hardwood tree. In dications show that it is an oak tree. "The grain of the wood is clear t Iv shown and the general form of jlho trunk is in good condition. Oak j trees in this vicinity were found j as early as the >.!i;;«eeue period. It would not be unusual for an oak to j be in this region, but the petrified species will differ from the present day species,” Or. Packard states. The tree was discovered by the late Mr. Rhodes in 1904 on the old Duuu farm near the foot of ■Spencer’s Butte. It was taken in sections, then cemented together, and placed in the yard of Mrs. Rhodes’, where it litis been the object of considerable interest. Due to an extensive building pro gram that is going on in the die .ri.t, Mrs. Rhodes decided to pre sent the University with the tree. The tree will be reconstructed under the direction of Dr. Packard and be placed in an appropriate place near the new Science build ing when it is completed Rock slides of the tree will be made i'laN'i hud all properties wi'l be ■ definitely determined. 1 O-“-♦ Campus Bulletin | Notices will be printed in this column for two i »e nee only.

We are really getting quite facetious in our recreation. Four of us are renting bicycles from the Smith Cycle Company and after classes this afternoon we are going to ride out in the country to visit a friend of Ellice’s. We are invited to dinner and have heard rumors of fried spring chicken. Airedale, Sunburn, Castor, Fog, Wood and Silver are some of the “mean numbers” Large’s have in the new shades or s Onyx Pointex liosi- ! ery. I replenished my supply this week and now I possess enough to match all of my clothes. Isn't my stationery snappy? Technically speaking, it is Polo Cloth in plaiil effect. I bought it at Coe’s Stationery where I was greatly intrigued by another kind—Wavette, a novelty station ery with faint wavy lines super imposed. The envelopes are so nice and generous looking I know I will never go back to the small ones. Sunday we are planning to climb Baldy. It is a hard trip but the big reward is at the top, | when all the world is at j your feet. You forget ? your fatigue when the : good old knapsack is brought forth, and the supply of picnic classics bought at Hiltcbrtind’s Groceryj makes the world look bright and cheery. “Peter Pan De Luxe” is the fountain pen I found at Skeie’s Jewelry. I have a young cousin graduating from high school soon and I knew that nothing would please her more than a pen in mot tled green with delicate flower decorations. The pen point is very tiny and writes beautifully. You remember, don’t you, when you were here and we went to the ■Art Shop to have some stamping done ? Kittie Scobert, who was so nice to us, has taken it over again after a few months absence. I found some perfectly lovely orepe-cle-chine sets there, trimmed s with hemstitching, lace and ribbon ! rosettes. I A lief is having such a good J time picking out things for their J house. It will be all ready after j the wedding in June. She bought 5 several rugs of velvet and some j Axminister, and the homiest- I looking Martha Washington j braided ones. Manville Brothers j Furniture Store has been her s “hangout” for the last two weeks, j She says if curlers are what j make men leave home Richard will | have no reason to as she took ad- ? ■ vantage of the $1.25 Bluebell j electric curling irons that are ! proving such good sellers at the j lied Cross Drug Store. ) She has been keeping her new portable electric sewing machine humming making cushions and hemming draperies and putting the finishing touches on numerous luncheon sets. She is a strong ad vocate for the White Electric Sewing Machine Co-mpany and is telling all of her friends that no home is complete without an “electric.” It certainly doesn't pay to say, “Well, I'll never have Mg hair bobbed!” Jeanne, after all she lias said, grew disgusted try ing to be ‘‘ath tetical” and long-haired a t y the same lime •' and yesterday went down to tne fowaer Puff Beauty Shop and exchanged fifty cents for a bob and curl. She looks darling and certainly has an attractive cut. Just four more weeks and I’ll be your little playmate again!. Forever yours, Bh CABOL,
