Lulled to Sleep
AT APPROXIMATELY this time last year much noise was
heard on the local campus about the inroads being made
upon the parochial school system by the foreign! demon known
as “Oxforditis.” Certain western pilgrims had crusaded to
the Holy Land of learning and had returned bearing the torch
of intellectual freedom.
Touching the torch to these sacred halls of learning they
stood back and said, “Behold, a conflagration shall ensue!’’
The conflagration consisted of several sputters, a crackle, and
some smoke.
To be specific: in the opinion of the newly made cosmo
polites, and other not so newly made, the University of Oregon
was to become a real intellectual center. Pupils were to become
students, and students scholars. All this to be brought about
by the introduction of an unknown, foreign element into stu
dent life called independent thinking and research. Instead of
being herded in droves or being led by the nose, students were,
with the proper guidance, to educate themselves.
The system was started in some departments, and in cer
tain it seems to maintain a foothold. In others it sickened and
died. It has not swept over the institution, causing a revolu
tion and a rebuilding. It has not even been carried to a con
summation or given a fair trial by those of its adherents most
eager for its adoption.
What might be the trouble? Was the soil to be tilled too
sterile, or were the tillers unskilled? Are university students
Oregon students—incapable of receiving any other type of edu
cation than the present orthodox brand, admittedly inferior?
Will someone please speak up?—L. K. B,
'T'HE GREAT Shields game to be played Christmas is now
an assured success in *every way. Thousands of tickets
have been sold, which means that Tiny will now have every
thing he needs to aid his recovery.
One of the outstanding features of the affair is the fact
that it is intercollegiate in every sense of the word. The will
ing and eager cooperation that has been accorded by every in
stitution in the Northwest means that football is a game that
is now binding these colleges and universities together, not
making them arch enemies, as in days of old.
Another pleasing feature is the ready response from former
football players. Almost every man that wore moleskins at
some time between 1900 and the present time has volunteered
to at least make a sjpirt in the game. That shows that they are
generous, that they love football, and that they are willing to
be of service to a brother of the gridiron.
The game will make history in more ways than one.
Let’s go!
At 9 o’clock tomorrow morning seven students, all ol whom
aspire to become Oregon s next representative at Oxford, will
assemble before the judges at the University club in Portland.
Each has devoted months of study in preparation for the oc
casion, and since but one can receive the appointment, six
must be satisfied with the reward which comes from work con
scientiously done.
Someone was heard to remark today: “if blue jeans for
the sophomore men -why not suubonnets for the girls'/’’

Communications
Lettera to the EMERALD from *tu
dente and faculty members are
welcomed, but must be signed and
worded concisely. If it is desired, the
writer's name will be kept out of
print. It must be understood that the
editor reserves the right to reject
communications.
To the Editor:
All students, and especially fresh
men who may still be unfamiliar
with tho examination customs of
the University, are cautioned
against bringing to examination
rooms, during the December term
finals, any books, notes, or other
material extraneous to the examina
tion. Only material prescribed by
tho examiner for tho course should
be brought.
Frequently in the past students,
although innocent of cheating, have
come under suspicion, and have
been reported to the Student Ad
visory committee for trial, because
they carelessly allowed notebooks,
or sheets with notes, or textbooks
to lie around their chairs.
Cheating in examinations is
strictly forbidden. Upon discovery
and conviction of cheating in final
examinations, the usual penalty is-'
suspension or dismissal from the
University. Several trials for im
proper conduct in term quizzes and
term work have been held recently.
Fraternities are asked to impress
the foregoing facts upon their
freshmen members.

"Towering Masses” WALTER M mason. Aretha.
O Drawn by Hush Ferriss
the new architecture expresses itself in great vig
orous masses which climb upward into the sky with a
pyramidal profile—gigantic, irregular, arresting. An earlier,
conventional building on the near corner is overshadowed,
engulfed in towering masses of the newer building which
are prophetic of an architecture of the future which is
vividly stimulating to the imagination.
Certainly modern invention—modern engineering skill
and organization, will prove more than equal to the de
mands of the architecture of the future.

j For Mrs. Grey I’m going to get
1 a box of Lowney’s Chocolates.
1 The Red Cross Drug Store has
1 a fine selection of boxes of this
1 famous Boston candy, and sweets
1 are always appreciated.
| At Phares’ Shop, the girls

| We are marking part of the
