Joe Maddock
.Toe Maddock coached the Oregon varsity football team last
fall in a competent, able manner, and his team finished a suc
cessful season. The two hardest games on the schedule, and the
wo that counted the most, were won. Washington went down
to defeat 7 to 3, and 0. A. C. was beaten by the same score.
The coach that made this possible deserves a full measure of
credit. ,
On the field, Joe Maddock is a man liked by all. He knows
football, and his intense love for the game is an inspiration in
itself. Joe was a fair and square friend of every man who
turned out for football, and supporters of the game, alumni
and students, like and admire him.
Circumstances prevent Maddock from offering himself as
a candidate for re-election as coach next year. He writes,
though, that this is a cause of deep regret on his part, During
his stay here, he formed hundreds of friendships which are vory
dear to him. His football men, he says, are the finest hunch
of men in the world,
Joe Maddock can well he numbered among the Oregon men
as one of them. The many friends he has made here will always
hold him in the highest regard, and his work will stand as a
credit to the University and to himself.
Contact
The work of the student lecture committee is under way.
Some time during this month, or shortly thereafter, Dr. David
Starr Jordan will speak to the campus on the problem of world
peace. Later, Edgar Lee Masters, of Spoon-River fame, will he
scheduled. He will read his poems. He will meet the students.
The campus will be interested in minor details about the
lives and personalities of these men. It will enjoy knowing what
they like to eat, and the colors of their ties. But will he a
real interest in them above an idle curiosity. There is a reason
why they are being brought here. There is a reason for ex
pending money to1 make student contact with them possible. It
is this—they have idfcas. They think. They create.
These men will furnish one thing. It is up to the students to
furnish the other. Contact, in the very word, implies both.
Communications

dents and faculty members are

worded concisely. If it is desired, the.
writer's name will be kept out of

editor reserves the right to reject

To tlio Editor of the Emqraid:
In your editorial, Saturday, Janu
ary 10, on the standardization of
American education you spoke of
the noed of a new attitude and new
methods in American education. An
other phase of this same problem,
which is, if anything, more basic
in the eyes of the writer than that
mentioned by the editor, is tho un
wieldiness of the present system of
credits used in a majority of the
universities of this country.
The step made a few years ago by
this University to raise the stand
ard of scholarship in tho institution
by requiring that 140 of the term
hours earned for graduation by anv
student be above a grade of V,
while it undoubtedly relieved tho
existing situation of low scholar
ship, in tile end only begs the ques
tion. The system is not changed,
it is only mended.
Each student undetr the present
system of credits is required to
make 1 St! term hours to graduate
from the University, “140 of which
must be above a grade of V.” This
arrangement necessitated tho aver
age student carrying approximately
10 hours work each term during
his entire four years. Now matter
how excellent the quality of his
work, tho student can get only a
maximum of 10 term hours credit.
The disadvantage of such a system
is obvious.
Eor example a student may be a
junior, majoring, say, in architec
ture, and lias been enterprising
enough to work off all his require
ments other than those of his de
partment during his first two years
in college. He looks forward to
doing some intensive work in his
chosen field of endeavor, architec
ture, during his remaining two
years. At the beginning of the term
he fills out his study card, first with
say, seven or eight hours in his
major, then three hours in history,
an hour in sculpturing, and an hour j
of art appreciation. This totals up j
13 or 14 hours. Now ho has all he
cares to take, all that he thinks he
can thoroughly do justice to, but
it is not enough. To meet the re
quirements ho must add three or
four more hours to his program. And
so ho casts about, finds a three hour
course reputedto bo a snap, signs
for it and proceeds to pay it as
scant attention as possible. This
happens every year in overy de
partment.
As the attitude of tho instructor
toward the student grows more lib
eral, and as the student’s attitude
toward his work becomes more vital,
this handicap of an unwieldly credit
system will become more and more
irksome.
It is neither becoming nor just
to offer criticism without atterapt
1 ing to offer a panacea. Tho present
| writer has in mind a credit system,
a system which is not new to edu
cation, which he believes will prove
the answer to the situation. This
system briefly stated is: credits are
awarded on a basis of quality not
| upon quantity work. Not the num
ber of hours work any student has
completed, but the quality of work
done in that time should determine
the amount of credit to be awarded.
This system, of course, has its dif
! ficult features, and would involve
considerably more work and expense
j than the one in present, use, but it
would be eminently fairer to the in
dividual student. Its flexibility
would tend to further, in a very real
sense, the realization of “the hope”
expressed in the Kmeraid editorial
for the success of the new trend in
education.

LIBRARY ERECTS CAGE
AROUND DISCHARGE DESK
In order to facilitate the success
ful operation of the receipt system,
recently installed in the University
library, a “cage” has been erected
about the discharge desk. The suc
cess of the receipt system depends
upon the orderly return of books.
Students are requested to return the
books due to the window at the dis
charge desk, and there receive their
receipts. Preservation of these re
ceipts is absolutely necessary if the
student wishes to avoid a possible
error and liability to two fines.
