TEACHING EXPERIENCE i 1 RELATED BY GRADUATE i Ian Campbell, who received his | M. A. degree in 1923, now graduate j assistant of mineralogy at Harvard,! after having spent a year in the same capacity in Northwestern 1 university, Evanston, Illinois. In a recent letter to Jeanette Calkins, alumni secretary, he tells of his ex periences since he left the Oregon campus. l He went directly to Northwestern from here and after that school year was over, he went to Wiscon sin as a member of the Wisconsin Geological Survey. Hie worked around Lake Superior and up to the Michigan line. In the camp he was the only “foreigner” the other j workers being Wisconsin students. I “But Wisconsin fellows,” he said, j “are a fine bunch—they have the | nearest resemblance to an “Oregon I Spirit” that I’ve found.” Campbell | describes the “Wilds of Northern \ Wisconsin” with its dense forests, j its deer, porcupines, wolves, mos quitoes and deer-flies. “Our prize story,” he added after a humorous tale of mosquitoes, “is that of cracking ice in a water bucket on the 13th of August. That seemed to take the ‘punch’ out of the mos quitoes so our last month was very pleasant.” In the camp for the last two weeks he had the companion ship of Paul Schafer, a former stu dent. Campbell -went back to Evanston and on to Cambridge, meeting seve ral former Oregon students and in structors; Hally Berry, who is now graduate assistant in Campbell’s place at Northwestern, George Houck, a medical student at Har vard and a former Oregon man, Bill Bebec, Ngrma and Melvin Solve at Ann Arbor, and in Brooklyn he .met Eddie Durno, Nort Winnard, “Mat” Biddle and Ben Horning. “I don’t like to give my impres sion of Harvard as yet,” he writes. “Last Saturday I went to the first football game of the season, Har vard vs. Virginia; I saw a Harvard ‘cheer’ leader in action, so to speak, for the first time. And I heard them give a ‘regular cheer’ for Harvard. Need I say more just now?” 1 In closing, Campbell spoke of how welcome “Old Oregon” is, and asked for the names of Oregon stu dents now in Cambridge.

CARTER 1421 Pearl St. The Best Business Career — Is what every ambitious senior is thinking about at the present time. Life insurance is one of the best, one of the most desirable, ^and one of the most satisfactory as a permanent calling. In assets and volume of business, life insurance is one of the three leading businesses of the country, yet the field is comparatively undeveloped. Only seven per cent of the economic value of human life in the United States is covered by insurance. This gives an idea of the big field still to be worked, especially business insurance for firms and corporations. As to remuneration, reports of college graduates who have entered business indicate that life insurance is at the very top as a source of income. . Ask about former Oregon students now with us. We will be able to place three young men who are ambitious and willing to work . hard in general insurance offices to take charge of the Life Department.

They are made of lavendar voile, with cream colored lace ruffles about the neck and sleeves, and a dear two-colored ribbon sash.

She > needed just an ' extra touch t o complete her cos tume, so we went V* down to Bkeles, I and there found some good look-: ing beads. Peg selected a long strand of black and white cry- j stals. They have lovely colored beads, intriguing things from Czechoslovakia at reasonable prices. A home made layer cake, with fluffy marshmallow frosting— what could be more delicious? That’s what we got at Under wood and Elliott's Grocery today, for we are giving a tea in our room this afternoon. I’m sure I shall become a cake con noisseur, if we continue buying their pastry. Peg received her proofs from Tollman’s find she is having a dozen finished. We’re both mak ing out our lists for Christmas, and Peg is having such a time deciding to whom she wants to send her good looking pictures. She has a divine profile, and the pictures are really excellent of the old dear. The Style Shop is hav ing a special this week —an excellent oppor tunity to get a pattern hat for much less than usual. They have 25 per cent off on Speigel Feather and Cage pat tern hats, and also some attrac tive velours reduced. One of the girls found a smart looking cof fee colored one to go with her plaid coat. • • • I I bought a box of new sta tionery at the Bed Cross Drag Store. It’s called Tanforanne and is a lovely color lined with gold and has a gold deckled edge. Peg took a box of a beau tiful shade of gray paper which I intend to borrow occasionally. Interesting stationery makes let ter writing a pleasure. * • * All the girls are going down to my barber at Schwering and Spicer’s Shop. They’re all pleas ed with his work.
