Frank Loggan Day Editor This Issue Jalmer Johnson Night Editor This Issue Pete Laurs “The Land of the Free” rpHE LIVELY interest shown in religion on the campus forms a fitting background for the series of lectures on world religions promoted by the United Christian Work of the University. Religion is a dangerous (occasionally), hut almost irresistible topic of conversation at fraternity firesides and over—sometimes—even frivolous coca-colas. The faith of a University student rides on rough waters and undergoes cer tain transformations as it confronts psychology, philosophy, science and history. Rut, after contact with doubt, it is often the case that the faith emerges in a finer form, as steel from the fire. With religion is bound up much that is finest and noblest in the cultures of the races. For protecting the free observ ance of its rites are made such things as declarations of free dom and constitutions. ' „ ‘ ‘ Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment ot religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,” provides the constitution of our United States. “All men shall be secured in their natural right to worship Almighty God according to the dictates of conscience,” is in cluded in the list of the civil rights enjoyed by the citizens of Oregon a reaffirmation of the national statement, with the further stipulation that no law be enacted which controls the free exercise of religious opinions, and that no religious test be required as qualification for any office of trust or profit. Surprisingly little actual all-round knowledge of things re ligious is common property, in spite of the numbers of religious agencies in the world. Some students likewise know surpris ingly little of the religious text most familiar in this country, the Bible, Yet there is much real thought going on, and more and more investigation of the sources of thought. Such intel lectual curiosity on so vital a theme seems a healthy sign. PUNS BEING FORMED FOR SUMMER SCHOOL The regular University summer • schools, held on the Eugene cam pus and at Lincoln high school at Portland, under tlio direction of the extension division will open their six weeks’ session simultaneously on June 21, 1925, and continue un til August. 1. Dean Earl Kilpatrick will bo in charge of the Portland session; and Ur. Stetson, professor of the school of education, will di rect the campus work. “The summer school catalogue will be off the press in the e(arly spring,” said Alfred Powers, assist ant dean of the extension division. “Expectations are that thof en rollment will reach between eleven and twelve hundred,” said Profes sor Powers. “All together there will be more than 150 courses of fered. The staff for both the Port land and the campus session will include regular University faculty members besides distinguished pro feasors from all part of the coun try.” Among the well known professors to come to the campus appears the name of Ur. Joseph Shaefer, now superinhyndent of the Wisconsin Historic society. Ur. Shaefer, for mer professor of history on the campus, will give courses in Ameri can history at the Portland center. He has written several books in cluding his “Pacific Northwest” and “ Alaska and the Pacific Slope.” Among the now courses is one in sculpture to be given at the Port land center. Miss Kate Schaefer will give the course. Professor Powers points out that Miss Schae fer is an expert in the art of scul pturing. Many new courses are planned for both (venters. These are now in the process of being formed. “A student can make not to ex ceed nine credit hours in the six weeks’ summer term.” said Profes sor Powers. “A majority of the courses bring three credit hours al though the classes meet five davs n week. This is because of the short term.” There will be pleasure and recrea- , tional trips in both centers. Week end hikes and gatherings have been planned for the campus session, | while picnics and excursions have beon planned for the Portland cen ter. There will ' be opportunities for the students to meet the visiting professors. Since ono of the val ues of education lies in the social gatherings outside of tho classroom the summer school administration is encouraging this branch of activity. 0 ---"S’ The following freshmen are to report to the ‘ ‘ Order of the O” on the library steps at 10:50: William Dalrymple, Ed ward Brown.

Contradicting the antiquarian, this great tower declares that the spirit of Gothic architecture is a living, organic thing, adaptable to modern problems of accommodation and engineering, and en dowed with a future as magnificent as its past. Certainly modem invention—modern engineering skill and organ ization, will prove more than equal to the demands of the architec ture of the future. OTIS ELEVATOR COMPANY Ofhces in all Principal Cities of the World INTEREST IS REVIVED IN CLASSICAL LMGE Class in Beginning Greek Increased 100 Per Cent There is a big revival of interest in classical studies in all the col leges at the present time, said Dean John Straub, professor in the Greek department, yesterday. Here at Oregon the class in beginning Greek has increased ICO per cent from What it was at tne beginning of last year, while at Cornell college, the first year Greex class has been en larged from 25 to 100 students. Their sudden interest in the old classical language is due to the general “reaction towards cultural studies, known as humanities.’’ The utiliterian side of education has .been emphasized too much lately, said Dean Straub. Where the student formerly thought of a study course in relation to the bear ing it would have upon his business relations after college, he now real izes, the value of mind training that classical studies give. The present falling off in the number of engineering students is also due to the over-emphasig place.d on such work during the World war. There are many graduate en gineers who are now setting up telephone poles at $100 a month. Students of medicine have be come interested in Greek, as a large majority of medical terms are Greek in nature. Many geologic terms are Greek, the term, “geo * -- - When you write home for money, use HANFORD'S Fountain Pen Ink It’s Permanent Blue-Black and All Colot *The Ink that Made the, fountain Pen Possible” logy” itself coming from this lang uage. It has been estimated that ap proximately 70 per cent of the new “words of today are Greek words. Charles A. Dana, the famous New York Sun editor has been known to refuse to employ reporters who did not have a knowledge of Greek. He is quoted as having said that ‘‘One cannot understand English unless he has a knowledge of Greek. ’ ’ UNIVERSITY HIGH SQUAD WINS BASKETBALL BATTLE In a scrappy basketball battle between the University high and Eugene high frosh teams, held last night-in the University high gym nasium, the campus youngsters were victorious by a score of 36 to 6.
