“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.

Some testimonials of Oregon stu
dents for the books of etiquette: *
“Dear Gents: In regards to your
bock of etiquette would like to say
it has sure made a “Brooksy” boy
out of me. I admit I was no slouch
to start with, but it has succeeded
in teaching me the finer snobberies. 1
of life.
“Just to give you Ian ide|a what
it done for me, we were dining the
other night at the Campa Side An
chorage and wearing our monkey (
suits. I was partaking of a sooth
ing dish of caviar when I saw a
hair in same. If I had been sub
jected to such a thing a year ago,
before I read your book, I would
have bawled the waiter out for 1
serving hair in the caviar, especi
ally at the price they get for it
at this refined beaneirie. But in
stead, I thought then and there of
the book of etiquette, and called j
attention to the “Foxy Pass” in the
polite way. *
“I simply clapped my hands for
the waiter in an unobtrusive1 man
ner. “Mozo,” I said, after I
finally got his eye, “Aqui esta pela 1
on la caviar. Que dice usted?”.
'Spanish for, “Waiter, here is some
'hair in the caviar—how cornel” !
“ITe immediately got »the drift
and removed the caviar without at
tracting any attention, thereby sav
ing quite a row, thanks to the book
of etiquette.”
Yours,
PURPOSEFUL FROSH. 1

“Gents—Would like to know the
correct rulep for keeping your hat
off while conversing to a lady. Pos- ]
sibly you don’t know how cold it
gets in Oregon^ Are we supposed
to keep our hat off all the while
when talking to a dame, like this ^
book says, or fcre their special cases
for cold states?
“Am not criticising your book,
but would just like to know the ^
written rules. Would also like to
know if there are any cultured
methods of picking up a young ^

A mercc bespeaks the real spirit of Gothic architecture—aspiring,
rugged, virile—an inspiration for the thinking, creating architect of
today. 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

Certainly modem invention—modern engineering skill and organ

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

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. ’ ’
