Memory Course Prescribed
OEVERAL times last term the growing evidence that a few
^ students have forgotten they are members of the Univer
sity of Oregon and, as such, are responsible for its honor has
been both deplored and condemned in this column. These cases
where memory has been mislaid for the moment have taken the
form of Library vandalism, when valuable books and plates
have been injured by clipping or have been taken without
authority* the writing of checks without sufficient funds in the
bank, and, in a few instances, the disappearance of coats and
•ther articles of value from cloak rooms, or when left unwatched
for a time.
Mrs. Mabel McClain, circulation librarian, has reported
that since attention was directed to this matter* a number of
the missing volumes have found their way back to the circula
tion desk and disfigurement of books has become negligible.
The business office, also, states there was very little complaint
concerning “back checks” during the latter part of the winter
term. Such information would seem to indicate that much of
this trouble results from thoughtlessness, rather than from
intentional dishonesty.
During the vacation just past a member of the student body
was found in a summer home on the McKenzie River without
any permission granted him for his presence there. While his
intentions may have been perfectly honorable and his sole pur
pose in forcing an entrance was to escape a a soaking from
the inclement weather, he should have thought of the reflection
his action would have on the University if he were discovered
and the story printed in the newspaper, as, actually, did
happen.
While thoughtlessness, perhaps, is preferable to dishonesty,
the result is often as disastrous and far-reaching. The Emer
ald asserts that these offending members must cure themselves
entirely from these lapses and remember they are not only
responsible for their own honor and good name, but for that
of nearly three thousand others as well.
Beware The Day!
**\L LITTLE nonsense now and then
Is relished by the wisest men”
That reminds—April Fools Day, or as the French have it1
“poisson d’Avril” (April Fish), a la American “sucker,” has
long since outlived all knowledge of its origin. One of the most
imaginative of the early English writers on the subject, in the
“London Public Advisor,” 1769, advances the theory that Noah
was the originator. The “Advisor” contended that it was
April 1 when the dove Mas sent out of the Ark and found that
the waters of the flood had not yet receded. Since that day
generation after generation has observed the event by means
of sleeveless tricks, samples of which one will no doubt be in a
position to witness on every corner today.
The French are a reasonable folk and practical- once the
cloud from an overabundance of temprement is cleared away,
snd it is from them that MTe get the most plausible explanation of
All Fools Day. They Mere the first of all Christendom to
commence the new year on January 1, instead of March 31.
Before the change was made merrymaking culminated on the
octave of the first of April, M-hen visits were made and gifts
bestowed. With the adoption of the new calendar in 1564, New
Year’s day was carried back to January 1, and only pretended
gifts and mock ceremonial visits were made on April 1, with
the though in mind that all who forgot so important a change
should be made to feel very, very foolish.
As old as the custom is there are still to be found unsuspect
ing souls, on April 1, nho will gladly hie forth to the grocery
store to purchase a pint of pigeon’s milk to accomodate a
friend, or search in vain for ,t left-handed monkey wrench. A
rival of the latter is the greedy citizen who tries to pick up the
rock laden, prosperous looking- poeketbook: or the unlucky one
who kicks the same aside. In the days of M-ooden side walks
the village.loafer experienced no little pleasure out of watching
the passers-by break their fingernails trying to pry a dollar
loose that he and his companions in crime had securely nailed
to the boards.
Sophisticated University men and women had better look
sharp that they aren’t ensnared by a uily professor into call
ing at the reference desk at the Library for a history of Eve’s
Grandmother.
When all is said and done, there are few, however, Mho
would deny kittenish friends and acquaintances these pleas
antries on April 1; for, aren’t the blooming, song-and-sun-filled
days thal follour a fitting compensationT

through this scholarship. Recently
the scholarship has not been given
because of the effort on the part
of the alumnae association to raise
a permanent $5,000 fund, the in

the yearly scholarship and which
would leave a permanent fund for
its continuation.
The tea is to be at 2 o ’clock at ^

tended to faculty women and cam
pus groups. Campus women will
serve at the tea-hour. Plans for
the tea are well under way in care
of Mrs. Herbert Clarke, ’13, presi

to entertain friends and groups of
