I
Puritan Strain Lauded
By Dean Rebec in Talk
Before Phi Beta Kappa
(Continued from page one")
Saxon race, and let mo say that I
am not indulging tonight in a dis
cussion of the so-called Nordic doe*
trino, is its predilection for mor
ality, practicality and the expres
sion of personality,” said Dean Re
bec.
TTiere are those, he continued,
who lament our Puritan inheritance.
But ho was not sure the American
people should bo “lashed out of
it.” Character and conduct, tho con
tribution of the Puritans, are tho
foundations of culture, even a lib
eral culture. lie expressed himself
as not in line with those who were
of the movement which he termed
neo paganism, and he expressed
doubt of the value to America of
tho attacks of extremists attempt
ing to “regenerate Puritanism.”
Middle Class Important
American life has been shaped by
the middle class, interested in ma
terial advancement and occnpa- :
tions. Dean Rebec thought this
was not amiss. Industry, thrift and
order are real virtues. BccAUSe the
American strain had its fountain
head in “the north,” this country
stresses the values of the free per
son. Thus, the prodietion for mor
ality, practicality, personality.
What part did the environment
play in shaping the character and
tradition of the American? Dean
Rebec said it first of all made ns
a pioneer folk and an out door peo- \
jde. It was one of the valuable |
things of American life, the enjoy
ment derived from camp life, hikes,
climbs, fishing and hunting excur
sions. Pioneer life developed a eer- I
tain informal adventurousness. It
made the American people critical
of hamperings, social and political.
Kconomic opportunity was a val
ued thing. It gave the American
people not only an economic outlet
but it provided a spiritual factor;
it gave them self hood. The demo- j
cratic tradition made difficult any {
srganization of cultural life on the
basis of segregated superiorities or
exclusiveness.
Weaknesses are Exposed
What, then, did American life do
to the original material that came
to its shores? Dean Rebec declared
that American environment has
surely not throttled, but rather en
riched it. It modified, but did not
defeat the elements in its crucible.
But the environment exposed
primitive nature to certain inher
ent weaknesses, Dean Rebec
thought. First, there was not in
America a sufficiently untram
meled, and naively free, lower class.
The Cavalier, tjo, became an “in
verted” type, the poor white, and
this strain did not serve as a check
on the Puritan strain.
“We were without th£_ dishev
elled and joyous peasant freedom,”
he said. “The descendants of the
Cavalier became thj'e adventurous
leader of tho ox train, the cowboy,
the miner, and recruited the ranks
of the tramps. I am not sure that
we may not yet hear, however,
from the Cavalier strain.
Puritanism Grows Acrid
“Puritanism, without cheeks, has
sometimes grown angular and acrid
The mjddle class has been preoc
cupied in getting on in the world.
Its volitionalism, takes the form,
too often, of indifference to ideas.
In the interest of conduct, the Puri
tan has indulged in hostility to in
tellectual play. A society of seg
regated Puritanism is in danger of
launching warfare on ideas, and
even exhibits contempt for them.”
Dean Rebec declared that Ameri
ca is in need of the reflective life
not only for its own sake but to
philosophize and point the way the
American destiny is leading. It
needs an art because art is the
great illuminator, the great com
mon teacher, and the entrancing
presentation of good.
Miss Mary H. Perkins, president
of Alpha chapter, presided at the
installation and the banquet. At
the latter event, responses were
made for the initiates by Pat Mor
rissette and Florence Buck. The
other initiates were Rupert Bul
livant, Mrs. Bessie Christensen,
Harry F. Hulac, John Rogers, Mar
tha A. Shull and Korby S. Miller,
instructor in philosophy.
SPANISH CLUB STAGES
SHORT DOMESTIC PLAY
An interesting program marked
the last meeting of the Circulo
Castellano, Spanish club, Wednes
day evening at the Y. W. C. A.
bungalow. After the business meet
ing, which was conducted by Paul
Ager, president, Miss Cuevas gave
a short talk on the object of the
club, which is to bring together
Spanish students so they can im
prove their knowledge of the lan
guage by frequent conversation.
A speech was givon by Terva
Hubbard on the importance of the
Spanish language in commerce,
politics, love-making and swearing.
Alberta Carson sang a selection
in Spanish and pupils of Miss
Cuevas’ third and fourth year
classes gave a one-act comedy of
domestic life in Spain. This
sketch dealt with an eccentric au
thor, played by Fred Clayson, who
striving to spend a quiet hour in
which to write an essay, chose the
dining room as the room less likely
to be entered by members of the
family at that time of the day.
Ills efforts were in vain,
for he was interrupted every min
ute by some member of the fam
ily, beginning with his wife, por
trayed by Dorothy Brodie, who
wanted “dinero;” his two sons,
Yetta Olson and Helen Holt, ask
ing question, slamming doors and
arguing about how much wus nine
times eight. Tho maid, Philippa
Sherman, who, dreaming of her
"hombre,” upset a whole cupboard
ful of dishes on the frnntic au
thor’s head; his mother-in-law,
played by Vivian Harper, who
hobbled in to have her say in the
matter us mothers-in-law will do.
This ended in a grand melee of the
whole family, who chose the dining
room as the place to wage a battle
royal.
Games and refreshments ended
the evening.
PROFESSOR CAMERON
TALKS AT LUNCHEON
“The Objective of College” was
the subject of a talk by Professor
M. K. O.incron, of the economics
department, at an informal lunch
eon of To-Ko-Lo, sophomore honor
ary society, held at the Oampa
Shoppe yesterday. Beside the ac
tive members and pledges, several
former To-Ko-Lo members were
present.
Mr. Cameron spoke in place of
Dean Colin V. Dyment, who was
ill and could not be present. His
talk concerned the problems which
confront all students in the higher
institutions of learning. He told
of difficulties arising from conflict
between the scholastic and the so
cial activities, and said that the
proper relation of these two sides
of college life was necessary to in
sure the real benefit of a college
education.
Portrait of Virgil
Done by Instructor
In Art Department:
An idealized portrait of Virgil
in low relief has been completed
by Katie O. Schaefer, instructor
in art, who is directing the sculp
ture department of the Univer
sity this year in the absence of
Avard Fairbanks. The portrait
was done on a commission for I
Paul B. Wallace of Salem, cast |
in bronze, and presented by Mr.
Wallace to the Latin club of Sa
lem high school. The composition
is to be used as a trophy.
Miss Schaefer received her de
gree of bachelor of arts from the
University in 1918, graduating in
the department of rhetoric. She
has since gone on with her art
work, and taught for a time in
Portland. Next year she expects
to go to New York for further
study.
Ralph Spearow Tells
On Trip Through Japan
In Interest of Athletics

various countries. The speaker said
he was particularly struck with the
fine display of gentlemanliness on
the part of the athletes who were
not successful in winning the events
in which they were entered. In
that, and other ways, the repre
sentatives of the nations revealed
the background of their lives and
learned, by intimate contact, the
national life characteristics of each
other.
While in France, the pole vaulter
together with Janni Myrra, the
Finnish javelin thrower, and Jack
son Scholtz, champion sprinter, who
were also entrants in the Olympic
games, wae offered a chance to
travel through Japan and deliver
lectures upon athletic subjects and
give exhibitions. The trip was very
educational, he saiu, and was filled
with many humorous incidents and
occurrences, several of which he re
lated.
Ev.eryone, the speaker stated,
should enter some form of athletics
in college, for two reasons. In the
first place it provides some of the
greatest thrills in life and carries a
satisfaction which is to be experi
enced in scarcely any other form
of competition. Secondly, because
athletics has become a universal
and international activity and

should be encouraged for the ulti

•Japan perceived the true value of
athletic enthusiasm otherwise they
would not have given the athletes
an invitation to make the tour of
the nation.
In conclusion, Spearow said that
a universal brotherhood of man i3
coming and that athletics was to be
a factor in producing better feeling
among the nations of the world.
While at the University of Ore
go, Spearow was an outstanding
man in both athletic and scholastic
achievements. He was the winner
of the Koyl cup in 1923, a trophy
given to the best all around junior
man on the campus. In addition to
his collegiate activities, Spearow
has occupied the pulpit of the Pres
byterian church at Cottage Grove
and preceding that, was a minister
at St. Helens, Oregon.
Part of the assembly' period was
taken up by the A. S. U. O. student
body meeting, the second and last
one of this term. Ed. Tapfer,
chairman of the Greater Oregon
committee, gave a report on the ac
tivities of the organization and
urged that students “talk up” dur
ing the Christmas holidays. Kan
dall Jones, student body president,
summed up the term’s work with
the statement that it had been a
very successful one, due to the sup
port of committees and students.
The University orchestra rendered
“Pique Dame,” an overture by
Suppe.
