Intend aa aeeond daaa matter at the poet office at Eocene, Oregon, under act
Onmcrece of March 8, 1879.
A Matter of Values
<<rjpHE CASH value of a college education to its possessor is
$72,000, according to a report made public by Dean Lord
of the Boston University College of Business Administration,
based on a study of the earning capacity of college graduates.”
This quotation from an Associated Press dispatch is roundly
opposed tjy a correspondent of The World’s Work, who bases
his argument on the re-examination of Dean Lord’s investiga
tions. Of the three types of men studied, untrained men were
estimated to average $45,000 earnings by the time they reached
the age of sixty; high school graduates, $78,000; and college
graduates, $150,000. The difference was thus $72,000 between
the high school and college education.
The protest made in The World’s Work is that while a col
lege education is a useful tool, millions of successful men have
proved that it is not an indispensable tool for money-making.
The Avriter of tbe protest declares that those who have gained
a college education and likewise greater monetary rewards in
business have done so because of the same cause—‘‘innate ca
pacity.”
‘‘This ‘inherent capacity’ is inherited. Not every man who
nherits it gets a college education or a fortune—time or place
or circumstances may prevent.”
President Hopkins of Dartmouth college, in an address before
the Harvard undergraduates, (The Vermont Alumni Weekly),
shares the opinion that the treasure of a college education is
scarcely to be measu^l by the earning capacity.”
‘‘The purpose of a college education,” he said, ‘‘is to give
a man complete command of his faculties and the ability to
think clearly and independently.
Much Ado About Smoking
jCINCE the opening of the controversy over Oregon traditions,
The Emerald has been besieged by communications both
pro and con, with and without mild invective. The subject in
deed, which produced the largest smoke screen has been, very
suitably, it seems, that of smoking. The question has possibly
caused a small conflagration. The stand taken by The Emer
ald is not one regulating the individual use of the weed. But
it has approved the tradition which keeps smoking within the
bounds of its proper time and place at the University.
Smoking, indeed, has ceased to be a life and death matter.
It literally was back in the stirring times of the seventeenth
century. An item from a correspondent in Constantinople
sent the following choice morsel to the first issue of the Gazette
de France, published in France in 1631—(Translation from the
Cornhill Magazine, 1873)—
‘‘April 2—The King of Persia, with 15,000 horses and 50,000
foot soldiers, besieged I Mile, at two days’ march from Babylon,
where the Grand Signior has ordered all his janissaries to
muster under pain of death; and continues, notwithstanding
this occupation, to wage a merciless war against those who use'
tobacco, condemning them to suffocate by smoke.”
‘‘This anti-tobacconist Sultan was Amurath IV.” a footnote
in the Cornhill -Magazine goes on to state. "The Schab Abbas,
his contemporary, ordered that all snuff-takers have their noses
cut. off. Pope .Innocent V111. excommunicated smokers, and
doomed them to hell-fire; and our own dull James I. wrote a'
silly book about them.”
So, judging by th;s. it will be seen that it is no longer a lit- j
oral life and death matter. But there is, we agree with Solo
mon, a tipie i^ul place for everything. We wish he had been
more explicit when he was telling that there was a time to
weep, a time of dance, and the like. He really should have
given some concrete suggestions as to just when those times
were. But, A\ise man that he was, he left it all in the air. j
Thus, failing help from Solomon, who, by the way, got along
well enough without using tobacco at all, let us stick by the |
tradition.

NO. I’M NOT KATE
To the Editor:
To ease the minds of the friends
of Kate A. Pinneo I would like to
say that that well known Oregon
Alumna is not the author of these
lines—not that she would disagree
with me, for I feel in my bones
that she too is not in favor of the
smoking prohibition.
That being that, come with me
to Springfield where we will join
Mrs. J. A. Catt, President of the
Pacific Coast Christian Nicotine
Temperance Union, who is coming
to inspect the only University cam
pus free from the terrible nicotine

habit.
There ahead of us is the first
i sign of the Pure Campus ,the tower
ing smoke stack of the power plant
belching up its oily smoke to the
north wind. “Thank goodness
there’s one place where all the
smoking is done by the chimnies,”
says Mrs. Catt.
Dodging the street car, Mr. Catt
at the wheel jams on the brakes
as our car edges into an enormous
crowd of University men out tak
ing a snag between classes.
“To the right is the Pioneer,”
we tell Mrs. Catt, hoping to dis
tract her attention from the whole
sale inroads being made into the
Sunny South’s favorite weed.
“Yes, yes, but I thought you
didn’t allow smoking on the cam
pus. This is terrble, I’ve never
seen anything like it. It’s posi
tively dangerous to drive along
here.”
We change the subject as best
we can and soon alight before the
Co-op where Mrs. Catt’s daughter,
Tilly, works, democratic like. En
tering Mrs. Catt is horrified to find
Tilly employed in no other way
than selling a be-piped man a tin
of Tuxedo. To think that \they
would sell tobacco in a University
owned shop, especially a Pure Uni
versity!
Tilly kisses mother and we start
on a tour of the campus. Mrs. Catt
thinks smoking in the open street
is abominable but Kitty explains
that they must’nt smoke on the
campus and so must take to the
street.
“But how about that man on the
other side of the street? He’s
walking on the walk with a big
cigar in his mouth.”
“Well you see, mother, that’s
different; that’s not on the old
campus. It’s alright to smoke up
this walk as far as the Ad build
ing and then along that other walk
up to the Music building.” Mother
can’t see the difference.
Out across the spotless campus
we strolled headed towards the of
fice of Professor Kinglefeather
with whom mother went to school.
“My dear, look at that man smok
ing on the campus!” Mrs. Catt
gasps pointing her finder down the
path. Sure enough, eating up the
path with giant strides was Dr.
Jeemer, pipe lit, leaving behind a
trail of aromatic tobacco smoke.
“But mother, that’s different,
he’s one of the faculty and most
likely he’s just absent-mindedly
forgotten that he is on the cam
pus, ” Again mother refuses to see
the difference.
After the third rap Professor
Zinglefeather opened the door a bit
and finally admitts our group.
Notwithstanding that all the win
dows were open, the air is scented
with a familiar odor and on the
back of hj,s desk stands a can of
Edgeworth and a box of matches.
I could take you through many
other familiar spots on the campus
where the Smoking Prohibition is
not recognized simply because it
had been out grown. The Art
court, for example, or Guild hall
during rehearsals, or in front of the
Music building or in the Presi
dent’s office in the Administration
building when the trustees or other
business groups are assembled. I
could lead you to a number of other
spots which you pas^ every day
where you could see, if walls were
made of glass, University men hard
at work, pipes and cigarettes
aglow.
Why have I taken you on this
tour? Simply to show you that the
University Smoking Prohibition
runs contrary to the actual desires
of the men, and in many cases the
brainiest men, on the campus. The
Smoking Prohibition is a tradition
nice to boast about, but one that is
violated every day and will be
violated every day as long as the
habits of the students remain as
they. are. It reminds me of a cor
set on the circus fat-lady; wher
ever the strings aren’t pulled tight
she bulges out quite naturally.
If the Traditions committee does
not consider this point as calling
for the repeal of the Smoking Pro
hibition, I would like to know
along what lines they think.

“Somebody ——r——

dash through it.
It is easy to visualize the writ
er of the yard-long letter—he is no
doubt a big six-foot-two sopho
more, a husky with a bull-dog pipe
in his face—a man, who, although a
sophomore, would not be afraid to
wear junior cords< or to sit on the
senior bench. It is eftsy to picture
him strutting down hello lane, a
huge cigar spilling ashes on the
co-eds as they scurry past.
But the big boy barks loud and
long—and you know the old say
ing—the barking dog—.
There is little use agitating for
smoking on the campus. It will
not come for a long time, because
there are too many people who do
not want it.
And K. A. P., though nicotine
may be KAPtain of your intellectual'
ship, do not think that the weed
is absolutely essential to learning.
The most brilliant student that
ever graduated from Oregon (name
on request) was not a tobacco user,
and certainly hundreds of people
have succeeded in attaining some
scholastic standing in spite of the
handicap of being non-nicotineans.
Better come down to earth, big
boy, and fall in with the more
popular demand—that certain “fire
zones” be created about the cam
pus, where lovers of the weed may
gather and puff to heaven to their
hearts’ content, without coming in
contact with the element that still
cannot see the virtue of the vice.
LUCKY TAKRYTON.
