OREGON KNIGHTS FOUNDED
HERE IN AUTUMN OF 1920
Undterclass Pep and Traditions Organization Originally Func
tioned as Freshman Committee
(By P. B.)
The present underclass organiza
tion of Oregon Kuigjits was formed
in the fall of 192t) by a group of
resolute freshmen who felt that
freshmen violators of traditions
c-ould better be handled within the
class than outside. With two rep
resentatives from, each living or
ganization present the group met
in the “Y” hut and formed a group
known as Frotraco, meaning Frosh
tradition committee. The group re
ceived support from Carlton Sav
age, president of the student body,
and a large paddle was chained to
the large fir tree behind the senior
bench. Feeling that the punishment
would be more effective from out
side the first year class the group
called on the “Order of the O” to
administer punishment to tradition
breakers.
On the campus at the University
of Washington another underclass
organization was formed to cooper
ate with the yell king for better
pep rallies and to help at football
games. This group rapidly became
the leading underclass organization
at Washington under the name of
Knights of the Hook. This group
early looked with favor on expan
sion into a national organization,
and in the spring of 1920 installed
Frotraco, as Oregon Knights of In
tercollegiate Knights, and also
granted chapters at the same time
to Washington State college and the
University of Idaho. Fester Foran,
of the University of Washingotn,
was the first national president.
The Intercollegiate Knights now
have seven chapters with many
locals petitioning for chapters. The
purpose under the national laws is
to promote and foster college spirit,
to establish and maintain friend
ship between schools, and to cher
ish and conserve their respective
traditions.
The former members of Frotraco
were taken in, and the organization
was composed of a sophomore and
freshman from each living organi
zation, except the Duke, who serves
until the middle of his junior year.
The yell king is an ex-officio
member of the organizations. The
dukes of the Oregon Knights have
been as follows: James Meek, Ed
ward Tapfer, Charles Norton and
Darker Brunin. The last named is
the present duke. Thomas Mahoney
and Harry llemmings are the Chan
cellor of the Exchequer and Royal
Scribe, respectively.
The present national president is
Robert Fields of the University of
Idaho.
of’ publication, and they all treat
of a subject supposed to be com
plete in itself. A. thing is done in
this manner or that because, author
ities tell us, time has wrought un
conscious agreement thereon. But,
if we are to believe the books them
selves, this “unconscious agree
ment” does not apply in all cases.
Opinion differs on a number of the
intricacies of good form.
There is, however, universal con
currence on the one fundamental
of behavior. Decorum, the expon
ents tell us, is not a confusing array
of laws to be mastered simply for
the satisfaction of knowing them.
I/ike all other laws, they tell us,
rules of conduct exist to maintain
decency and order in tlio relations
of man to man. Consideration for
others is the one fundamental upon
which all etiquet rests.
Then why must the subject be
made so difficult? “Do unto others
as you would have them do unto,
you,” the Bible says. That is
etiquet which, if carried out, will
prevent all “boners.”—Daily Cali
fornian.
TRUE PHILANTHROPY
Making money work for the
needs of mankind—that is what.
Oeorge Eastman, head of the kodak
company, and James B. Bake, to
bacco manufacturer, are doing with
their millions. The two men, neith
er of them college graduates, have
recently contributed $">2,500,000 to
education, the hulk of which goes
to the colleges. These gifts bring
their total contributions to more
than $100,000,000.
Both men have worked since boy
hood. They are what we usually
call self-made business men. They
have had very little schoolroom edu
cation. Oeorge Eastman left school
to work for $.'! a week. Tie later
invented the kodak, but his suc
cess came only after a long and
hard fight for exclusive rights to
the inventions he controlled. James
R. lhike, as a boy, began his work
in a log cabin preparing tobacco
leaves for the market. Tie is now
the tobacco king, but it took a
great deal of work and business
ability to amass his fortune.
Men of education often look as
kance at the self-made business man
because he has at times attempted
to discredit higher education. Tie
has been described as Iksrd hearted.
He is said to care only for the al
mighty dollar. Yet this is how
Oeorge Eastman, a typical example
of the American business man, ex
plained his gift: “Tf a man has
wealth lie turn to make a choice. He
can keen it together leaving it for
others to administer after he is
dead, or he can get it into action
and have fun while lie is still alive.
I prefer getting it into so tion and
adapting it to human needs." James
Buko says that he endeavored to
make provision for the needs of
mankind along physical, mental,
and spiritual lines. ®
Judging from their actions these
0 ' o
men. who have worked among men
alt their lives, consider that high
or education offers the greatest ser
vice to mankind. Certainly they
should know. -Bailv Californian.

California will not participate in
a radio debate this year.
The Oregon team assembled in
the broadcasting studio of station
KGW of the Morning Oregonian,
while the California team’s speeches
were broadcasted from radio KLX
at Oakland.
“When a date is set it will be
submitted to Richard V. Haller, di
rector of radio KGW. He must ap
prove and agree upon this date,”
said Alfred Powers. “He will take
the matter up with the California
station for the Stanford debate
team. The extension division is
now working on these plans.
Professor Hugh E. Rosson, debate
coach, with the members of the Ore
gon debate team has been enthus
iastic for a second radio debate,”
said Powers. “lie and the team
are working out even a better pro
gram than the one which was so
well received last year.”
“In Professor Rosson’s statement
to the extension division recently
he suggest/?! that ‘The Japanese ex
clusion Act’ be chosen as the top
ic,” said Powers. “As far as is
known this will be the subject.”
Neither Oregon nor Stanford have
agreed yet which shall take the
affirmative and which the nega
tive.”
