GIFT RECEIVED FOR ART BOOKS Camilla Leach Collection Has New Donation MRS. VILLARD IS DONOR Fund Instituted Last Year During Gift Campaign I A gift of $100 was received last week from Mrs. Henry Yillard, wid ow of the donor of the Henry Vil- | lard endowment fund, to be used for | the sole purpose of purchasing art books for the Camilla Leach col-, lection in the University library. The Camilla Leach fund was es tablished last year during the Uni versity Gift Campaign by the friends of Miss Leach for the pur chase of art books for the library, ! The fund, which now amounts to $800, has been subscribed to by the members of the Allied Arts depart ment, the library staff and Mrs. Villard. In addition to the sum Mrs. Villard has given she suggests that the $400 library fund given annually from the $50,000 gift pre sented to the University by her hus band in 1883, be used for the next few years to build up the Camilla Leach fund. Villards Help Campus Both Mr. and Mrs. Villard have been identified with the University for a great many years as being instrumental in furthering its pro gress. Mr. Villard first came to the help of the University in 1882 when a mechanic’s lien was filed against Deadv hall, the only Uni versity building. He was in the East at the time and happened to read an account of the seeming catastrophe in the New York Trib une and immediately telegraphed the University officials to draw on him for any amount of money needed. In 1883 he made a $50,000 gift to the University and later gave over $1500 for scholarships. In 1883, $30,000 was obtained from the state and the present building bearing his name was erected. Miss Leach Active Miss Leach has been active in the development of the University. She has been identified with it since 1897, when she came to serve in the dual capacity of registrar and li brarian, which combined position she held for three years. After giving up her duties as... registrar, she continued as librarian from 1900 to 1908, also serving as in structor in freehand drawing and history of art. From 1908 to 1912 Miss Leach acted as reference li brarian, and since the founding of the school of architecture and al lied arts, she has been doing use ful service as art librarian, a posi tion which she continued to fill un til this fall. A very unfortunate accident occurred just before last commencement when she fell and suffered a broken hip which has confined her to the Pacific Christ ian hospital of this city since that time. The cast from her hip was removed not long ago and it is re ported from the 'hospital that she is making a slow but satisfactory recovery. DEAIM ESTERLY TO GIVE FIRST OF TEAS TODAY This afternoon between the hours of 4 and 6 o ’clock, Mrs. Virginia Judy Esterly, dean of women, will give a tea for all University wo men. The tea will be held in her suite of rooms on the third floor of the Woman’s building. This is the first of a series of teas held by the dean during the year, for the purpose of meeting informally all the women of the University and becoming better acquainted with i them. The affair is very informal and j girls may drop in between classes j and meet Mrs. Esterly. It is be- j lieved that in this way the large | number of campus girls may form ! a more personal contact with then j dean. INTEREST SHOWN IN WOMEN’S RIFLE TEAM Great enthusiasm is being shown this year in the women’s rifle team, according to Edna Spenker, head of the team. Seventeen houses have already entft-ed the contest, • while last year there were only 11. There has been a change made in the organization, the team being under the auspices of the W. A. A. ■while formerly it was under the R. O. T. C. This will put it on the same basis as other athletics; its success this year will determine whether the change will be per manent. There wili be four more practices before the teams are chosen. Five girls from each house will compete in the finals, which will be held the latter -part of November and the first week in December. Susan Campbell hall holds the eup, and there will be great rivalry among the houses for the honor. There are four men assisting Captain Murray in instructing the girls. This is purely voluntary on their part, to give the girls better insight into R. O. T. C. and a chance to learn to shoot. SWIMMING IS POPULAR WITH CAMPUS WOMEN Swimmi’.g is more popular than ever before among the University women, said Miss Barbara Page, head of swimming. The tank is open at least one or two hours every afternoon, between the hours of 4 and 6 o’clock for voluntary swimming purposes. A life-saving test will begin next Monday at 4 o’clock. The girls al ready in the life-saving corps will assist. No requirements are neces sary, other than to swim fairly well. Tuesday evening Dr. Ross, medi cal advisor from the dispensary, spoke to the life-saving corps. STRENUOUS WEEK END CAUSE OF MANY COLDS The strenuous and climatically disagreeable week-end just passed has had rather a bad effect on the health of the students on tha cam pus, according to Dr. G. A. Ross, of the University health service. Cases of colds and grippe have been very numerous during the past few days. At present there are five per sons confined in the infinliary— most of them having rather serious colds or grippe. This is the largest number of patients that the infirm ary has housed at any one time since the beginning of the term. The dispensary has been unusually busy this week with less serious colds. ESSAY CONTEST WINNERS CHOSEN AT HIGH SCHOOL The announcement of the winners in the essay contest conducted by Rollin S. Dickerson, head of the social science department of the University high school, was made Wednesday. The contest was open to members of Mr. Dickerson’s classes in American history and so cial problems. “Why I Should Vote for Coolidge,” or Davis or La Follette as the case might be, was the subject of the essays, the choice of which was left to each individ ual. Elsie Schroeder and Virginia Fuller tied for first place, and Row ena Hoven received second. POPULARITY OF GOLF CIS IN COLLEGES Oregon May Enter Team in Intercollegiate Tourney Golf as a collegiate sport is gain- ] ing popularity in every school where it has been adopted, says [ George Bronaugh, in charge of golf. Every year intercollegiate gol£ tournaments are held throughout the country. Up until a few years ago golf in the University of Oregon was com paratively unknown. Now it is not only recognized as a sport, but golf classes for men are being given every day in the gym. Instruction , for women will probably be given in the spring. It is probable that Oregon will enter a team in the intercollegiate tournament next spring. Bronaugh at present has five good men who are capable of holding their own in any company. They are Bill Mc Bride, Thonuts Mahoney, Robert Neighbors, Jack Marshall and Lloyd Beverly. When weather permits the Uni versity three hole golf course is very popular with the students. About 25 or 30 players make use of it every day. Work has been done on the course since last year and it is in much better shape than ever before. The course is free of charge to students and all are invited to play at any time. MEETING OF HAMMER AND COFFIN TO BE TODAY NOON An important meeting of all Hammer and Coffin members, and those contributing to the humorous section of Emerald Ink, is called for this noon at the Campa Shoppe. Every contributor who is planning to try out for this section must be on hand, it is announced by George H. Godfrey, president of Hammer and Coffin. The deadline on humorous copy for the Emerald Ink has been set at November 7, and all contributions must be handed in to the Emerald by that date. Although some ma terial has come in, much more is needed, it is stated.
