Nelson at the poet office at Eugene, Oregon, under Batmd mm second claim matter ad CoDgrm of Harch 8, 1879. 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 Campus Bulletin Notice* will be printed in this fohmn for two issue* only.
