W. S. convention yester day morning. Winifred Graham, president of the local Women’s League organization, and Bandall Jones, president of the A. S. U. O., also extended greetings to, the * guests, as did Dean Virginia Esterly. President and Mrs. P. L. Camp bell sent greetings to the delegates by Dean Esterly, who eommended the girls on choosing the big prob lems to discuss, instead of the smaller problems which could well be dealt with individually, or in small round table groups. Dean Lucy Van Cott, head of the women at Utah Agricultural college, complimented the school on its good-looking girls, and spoke of her delight in being able to attend the conference. “I am sure that the thrills of all the people in Ore gon could not compare with the thrills of the visitors,” she said enthustically, adding, “I want to tell you all that I’m delighted to be here.” Gives Address on Women Dr. George Rebec, dean of the graduate school, delivered an ad dress on “The Feminine Principle in Culture and Civilization,” pointing out to the delegates what an important part women played in the universe. Stating that the Romantic or Revolutionary period, up to 1815, was the real starting point of our present civilization, Dean Rebec gave a summary of the characteris tics of that age. “There was im mense interest and belief on the part of man, in man himself,” he explained. “Because men believed in man, all their works showed traces of this belief. It was a time of vast and audacious philosophies. Man forgot that man was not God.” This age played itself out, its end merging into the beginning of the 19th century, which was an age I in which man became very skepti cal, and impatient of Romantic mysteries and beliefs. This cen tury ended by dying out. The World War was the 19th century’s commentaries on its view of life. The paramount tendency of the present age, as Dean Rebec pre sents it, is a fundamental skepti cism expressing the sensational fruism. Women have very largely lost their belief in themselves, thus losing their greatest asset, their femininity.

Professors Prove Human; Measures Voted at Meeting Who said professors aren’t hu man? In spite of this pet itself, indulged in by probably every body who was ever a student, the faculty, at a meeting yester day afternoon, voted down a measure which had for its purpose the abolition of Washington’s birthday as a legal holiday. Another measure passed pro vides that members of the faculty shall post or make known ■ to students by some other means, their grades, at the end of sis weeks of each term. This will enable each student to know what his standing is at the middle of the term. The proposition of allowing Saturday classes to be held was introduced, and will be acted up on at the next faculty meeting. ASSEMBLY POSTPONED TILL FRIDAY MORNING Dr. Aurelia H. Reinhardt Will Give Address Assembly for this week, instead! of being at the usual 11 o’clock; period on Thursday, has been post- i poned to that hour on Friday so as not to conflict with the program \ arranged for the Women’s League! convention. At this assembly on Friday the j entire student body will have an | opportunity to hear an address by Dr. Aurelia Henry Reinhardt, presi dent of Mills college, who is much in demand as a public speaker.

Her intellectual capabilities have caused her .to be rated as “the foremost woman of the west,” and her inter est in educational work has made her a national figure. POISON OAK VICTIMS SWARM DISPENSARY! _______ The University health service staff is being worked overtime this week because of an unusual num ber of patients with colds and j sprains, according to Dr. G. A. i Ross, University physician. There were also a considerable number of poison oak cases early in the week, probably due to the large number of hikes and picnics over the week-end. The doctor attributes the colds to the unsettled damp weather that has been prevalent recently. So many students are out for outdoor sports during this spring weather that sprains and such kindred ail ments ar unavoidable. Students have not heeded the warning issued by the health service with regard to poison oak and ways of prevent ing it, the doctor says. He urges that everyone remember to use the soda solution for parts of the body exposed to the poison. Athletics Educational Dean Bovard Asserts SPRING PRACTICE Last Meeting of Footbal • Men Slated for Haywarc Field At 4 This Afternoor MAUTZ WILL OFFICIATE Banquet at Osborn Friday Evening Will Terminate Spring Training Season At 4 o’clock this afternoon or Hayward field the final curtain will ring down on spring football Due to a change in plans, Coacl Dick Smith is having his teams play but one game this week in stead of the two on Wednesday and Friday, as was previously an nounced.

New plays have been given to each 'squad and smoother team work wrill be a noticeable factor. Hayward field is in much better condition than last week and for this reason tthe game w-ill probably be faster Captain Carl Johnson, whose saw dust-eaters captured the first bat tie, 6-0, expects to repeat today with a larger score. His men have trained hard all week on a strict diet of inner-soles and tooth brush bristles. Captain Harold Dixon, being of the “seen-and-not-heard” type, would make no comment. It is whispered about, however, that operations on his players would probably produce the corners which have lately vanished from some of the tomb-stones in the cemetery. Banquet to Teammate Season Officials have been announced as Bob Mautz and Jens Terjesen. Friday evening at 6 o’clock all players will banquet at the Osburn hotel. Plans for fall practice arc expected to be discussed at this time.

Great Handicap Found In Lack of Facilities At University Athletics in colleges are of real educational value, and should be recognized as such, declared Dr. John F. Bovard, dean of the school of physical education, in outlining the work and policies of his de partment to the Oregon Sports writers’ association yesterday. “It is the task of those conrtected with this very important phase of col legiate life to educate the world at large to appreciate the value of an athletic training,” he said. “People do not yet realize that this training is, more than just exer cise. The contacts formed in com petition of various kinds, tho training in character which tends jtoward better citizenship, are as valuable as the mere physical ex ercise.” High Ideals Aim So important has this branch of work become that institutions everywhere are coming to the realization that men who direct athletics must have the. same high ideals and educational ability as any other -member of the faculty, the Dean declared. This has de veloped- a demand for a regular college program for certain stu dents that includes a fundamental training in work that will fit' the prospective coach for his future position. It is the aim to give him culture and instill into him ideals ,of the highest type, it was pointed out. “The coach today must be more than a mere athlete who made good in sports in college,” it was stated. “He must first of all have a physiological background, so that h« can guard the health of his men; he must be so educated that he can realize the academic problems of his men; he must b^ a cultured gen tleman, so that his influence will be of the best, and he must have a full realization of the value of his work to society in general.” Departments Co-operate The four departments coming un der the head of the school of physi cal education were explained by the Dean. Three major departments of ‘iphysical education exist: the wo men ’s department, the men’s de partment, and the department of athletics. The health department, .which aims to work hand in hand with the others, is also under this head. The departments of physical edu cation are closely affiliated with the athletic department, and the work goes hand in hand. The ath letic department, however, exer cises sole control over the competi tive collegiate athletics. The stu dent body plays a large part in the latter organization, for every coach is hired and controlled by the stu dent body, and all matters relating to sports or teams are handled by the executive council working through the athletic, committee. Facilities are Provided Unto the departments of physi cal education falls the charge of providing athletics of various forms (Continued on page four) COMBINED MEN’S AND WOMEN’S GLEE CLUBS JOINT GLEE CLUB TO SING TONIGHT Students Will Be Admitted By Recognition; Tickets For Townspeople on Sale PROGRAM TO BE VARIED Solos By Frank Jue, Ruth Akers, Roy Bryson and Richard Adam Featured The home concert of the com bined glee clubs under the direc tion of John Stark Evans, assist ant dean of the school of music, will be given tonight at 8:15, in the Woman’s building, as one of the features of the Women’s League convention.
