‘HE JE'WEES of Mithridates. 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.

It has been my privilege and i
pleasure to have been intimately

Sehliek for the past six years. This

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

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.

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

ies in reply to Mr. Schlick, speaks
unfavorably for the cultural tone
of the school. 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

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!

It is with the greatest of inter

in mv most earnest endeavor to ap
preciate the. “simplicity of mod

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.”

merely acquired the common sense'
which a college education is sup
posed to furnish? Be careful! Old
age is an awful thing. 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. ”
