The beauty of precious metals and glazes, centuries oljj, buried with the Egyptian kings. are the associations which the word “treasure” can carry to the mind, associations of romance and lost ages. But bringing beauty to the modern age, after machinery has done its w’orst isolated craftsmen. In the revival of the crafts are such men of Arts and Crafts who will lecture in the Arts building at 3 o’clock this afternoon, and exhibit samples of his hand-wrought jewelry in the evening. The American traditions of craftsmanship go back to the days of the Thirteen Colonies. Goldsmiths made trinkets to be used in trade with the Indians, and likewise furnished ex quisitely designed snuff-boxes for fastidious gentlemen of the Continental Congress. In Philadelphia, alone, we learn, there were 35 goldsmiths who took part in the parade celebrating the adoption of the Constitution. Beauty in Metal The golden hairpin of a Chinese lady of high degree . . Many to turn out quantities of the stereotyped, is* the wrork of a few as Prank Gardner Hale, master craftsman of the Boston Society Remembering the tradition of beauty, which began in this country, and keeping an eye on the future, the craftsmen of today are keeping up the fight which was fought in England by William Monds and others of his kind. It is a fight which is attracting more and more recruits—as it deserves. A Distinguished Visitor pROM the University of Oregon to the University of Liver pool is a trip that no member of the student body will be priviliged to take this morning. (Unless, of course, a pair of seven-league boots or a magic carpet can be unearthed by the Lost and Found department.) However, Rev. Lawrence Red fern, pastor of Willet Road Unitarian church, from which the University of Liverpool sprung one hundred years ago, is a welcome visitor in our midst, and will give an address in the journalistu^assembly room at 10 o’clock. The Rev. Mr. Redfern is included in the faculty of the University of Liverpool as Provincial Chancellor. 'flic University of Liverpool has now f>000 students, and stands among the largest of the provincial universities of Eng land, being organized somewhat along the lines of American universities. It grants the usual degrees in the arts and sciences, and has professional schools in medicine, law, engi neering. and the like. The Rev. Mr. Redfern is in close associa tion with the student life, having as one of his activities a Sunday afternoon class which is attended by over a hundred students for the discussion of philosophical ami religious topics. Add<tl to his intimate knowledge of his home land, the Rev. Mr. Redfern had acquired wide information by travel and work in Europe and America. Communications Letters u the EMERALD from stu dent* and faculty members are welcomed, but must be signed and worded concisely. If it is deeired. the writer’s name will be kept out of print. It must be understood that the editor reserves the ri*ht to reject communications. (Editor’s Xote: Several com- 1 munications, due to extreme length, were necessarily withheld from lack of space in the columns.) AN INTIMATE GIVES MR, SCHLICK’S BIOGRAPHY To the Editor: It has been my privilege and i pleasure to have been intimately associated with MV. Frederick 1 Sehliek for the past six years. This fact has very much tempted me to play the part of Boswell, as I be lieve that I am, perhaps, better i qualified than anyone else on the ' campus to relieve would-be antag onists of the load of delusion which they carry. Contrary to the general opinion Mr. Sehliek is not a freshman, hav ing attended three American uni versities and is at present eondi- | tionallv accepted in the Universit- \ i< s of Hong Kong, Constantinople. Paris, and Oxford. For two years he studied literature and art under Campus Bulletin Notices will be printed in this column j for two issues only. Copy must be in this office by 5:30 on the day before j it is to be published, and must be limited to 20 words. Co-op—Annual Co-op meeting, Wed nesday, April 29, at 4 o’clock, room 107, Villard hall.

Dial—Regular meeting Wednesday night. one of the three most eminent critics recognized in America and England. He has, to my knowl edge, visited at least eight foreign countries. There is a similitude of contrast between recognized poetry with the doggerel which has been ' inflicted upon us and the cheap personal at tempts in reply to the nicety of procedure with which Mr. Schlick revolts, not against poetry, but against the jumble of words which are choked down our throats as poetry. In the immediate future Mr. Schlick will publish a short paper on the principles of Art which to those who have a background and a knowledge will justify his crit icism, and as to those who have not, well,—what does it matter? Sincerely yours, F. ROBERT STENZEL. CAMPUS POETS WRITE SO WICKEDLY ABOUT GOD To tln> Editor: I agree with Air. Sclilick’s crit icism of the Lyric Rainbow col umn because T too just love the glorious poetry of the past. Why, these campus poets write so wick tally about (-loti that tears fill mv eyes. Oh, they are so material istic and let Darwinism and horrid jazz take the place of virtue in their hearts. This modern poetry is naughty and awful. I do not un derstand why Walter Evans Kidd lets such pitiable rot get into his col umn. The stuff written by Bur chaell, Sherman, Kidd, Kressman. L- B., McClellan, Vincent, and the rest is the work of the devil Mr. Editor, you will do well to drop the poetry section. MARTHA HENNLEY. CAMPUS COMPLACENCY DULLS CRITICAL FACULTY To the Editor: The dulling effect of campus complacency upon the critical fac- ; ultv of student writers and editors is more than amply demonstrated t by the deluge of disapprobation following Mr. Sehliek’s criticism, of the Emerald poetryo column. The attack upon the ’column was per haps too adoleseently vituperative and his criticisms unschoole^. yet it was an attempt to provide some thing in which the student publics tion has been pitifully lacking, that is, non-saccharine criticism of ar tistic endeavor. That students should seize this occurance merely as an opportunity for voicing their personal animosit rCOMING EVENTS1 ^----O Wednesday, April 22 10:00 a. m.—Rev.

Valid criticism is undoubtedly an integral factor in the production of art. If the Emer ald verse is to be declared sanc tified and inviolable, we can ex pect from the future only the prac tically unmitigated mediocrity which the past has given us. Mr. Schlick unfortunately al lowed his ire to master his dis cretion in his communication, but in his major premise there is undoub ted validity. The Emerald verse has been poor in many instances. There has been little discrimina tion in its choice, and the paucity of source is no excuse for publish ing material which is not poetry, being justified neither by beauty of conception nor beauty of execu tion. K. A. V. COLUMN TAKES ITSELF TOO SERIOUSLY, SUGGESTED To the Editor: We think that Mr. Schlick has perhaps overlooked the fact that the column he criticizes is essen tially an amateur production. While Mr. Kidd and his associates are doubtless very worthy exponents of the type of poetry they produce, no international or even provincial reputation, is commonly connected with their names. However, the symposium of re tort in its form of communications written above signatures we have seen so often in the Lyric Rain bow, cannot be defended. • It im pressed us as both unbecoming and surprisingly illuminating, concern ing the broad minds and philosophic poise of the people who fill the poetry column with their thoughts. We have hithertofore been de luded in believing that the merit I of any literature is customarily left j to the judgment of the readers to 1 whom its message is addressed. It should be comforting to our poets to remember that in the past real merit in literature, renders criticism powerless. We would suggest that the col -.--—--o I At the Theatres J, o--- ^ HEILIG — Wednesday night, Western Vaudeville, with an other popular bill; plan to at tend the second college special j performance at nine o’clock.

LYRIC RAINBOW CAUSES RIDICULE THROUGH STATE To the Editor: At the outset it may he well to admit that this is primarily a “cheap attempt at publicity.” Since' we first heard “E. B.” character ize Mr. Schlickts letter as such Monday afternoon in the Co-op, and especially since we saw the phrase repeated in yesterday’s Emerald, we have only the most profound respect for such an at tempt. Secondarily, the aim of this let ter is to lend a little support to Mr. Sehlick. Doubtless he doesn’t need it, if one may judge from the comments to be heard on every side. Strangely enough, the cam pus, aside from the group contrib uting to the column, seems to have a feeling akin to brotherhood with him. Whether or not God uses soap is really not of vital import to the University of Oregon, but that the University is being made the ob ject of ridicule throughout the state should be. If anyone doubts that this is fast becoming prevalent, let him visit the office of one of the leading Willamette valley news papers on the day the Emerald con taining the Lyric Rainbow column appears. Ten to one he will find, as I did, last- week, that that par ticular issue is nestled in the waste basket, and all because of the po etic impulses allowed to flower on page three. Surely there are Oregon poets who can contribute to the Emerald verses which will inspire and de light rather than repel and disgust, and which will in addition be with in the ken of the average poetry loving person. All the power there is to you, Mr. I fearlessly! JJ’KAJNUiiS «iJM±'WUiN. POETS COMMENDED FOE DEFENDING OWN WORK To the Editor: It is with the greatest of inter est that I have conned past col umns of the “Lyric Rainbow,”■ in mv most earnest endeavor to ap preciate the. “simplicity of mod ern poetic thought,” which “Anony mous” so lauds,—anonymously. The utter commonness and banality of my university education has been proved to me,—for I must admit that my own taste,—or lack of taste,—coincides startlingly with this “Freshman’s ignorance and lack of imagination.” Yes, indeed, Mr. Schlick, “have you lost your youth?” Or have,you THE OLD RELIABLE “MAC” “JACK” VARSITY BARBER SHOP 11th and Alder « Lemon “O” Barber Shop Up-to-date Hair Cutting Bert Vinoent, Prop. | \Jhe largest selling quality pencil . in the world 17 black degrees 3 copying Buy a dozen Superlative in quality, the world-famous VENUS PENCILS give best service and longest wear. £ Plain ends, per doz. $1.00 Rubber ends, per doz. 1.20 cAt all dealers American Lead Pencil Co. 220 Fifth Ave., N.

If this is the kind of 'thing that “kids en joy,”—well, times have certainly changed. My imagination refuses to stretch to -the point of picturing any real “kids” enjoying some of the effusions which appear in our Poetry Column. Such a suggestion is a mere aspersion upon the utter simplicity and naturalness, which characterizes such old favorites as ■“Peter Pan” and “Tinker Bell.” However, as has been remarked by some older literary light, “Every cloud has its silver lining.” We must at least say something in commendation of the splendid loy alty with which the authors of our poetical contributions have rallied to the support of their own brain children. It is comforting to know that the third page of the Thurs day' Emerald is looked upon with favor by a few of its readers. Not for anything would I advo cate the utter removal of oppor tunity for education by poetry from the columns of our Daily. But per haps the author w'ill bear with us, and educate the pitifully ignorant student body to a point where they are more capable of understanding and appreciating the delightful symbolism, which converts the golden sun into a “round cake of soap. ” GERTRUDE H.
