GRAPHIC ARTS SOCIETY
IS FORMED ON CAMPUS
Named for John Henry Nash
Famous Printer
A society to recognize and pro
mote appreciation of printing and
allied graphic arts has been formed
at the University of Oregon by a
group of students who not only are
interested in this work, but who are
actually participating in it.
The organization of the society
was inspired by a recent visit of
John Henry Nash, printer of San
Francisco, and the club has been
named the John Henry Nash Graph
ic Arts society in his honor. While
here Mr. Nash exhibited many of
his rare old books, and specimens
of his fine printing.
Mr. Nash became interested in
the work of several students who
were making etchings, woodcuts,
and linoleum blocks, and consider
able time was spent with these
young artists. Other students in
terested in books also joined the
discussions.
H. A. Kirk has been chosen first
president of the society. Bichard
Carruthers, whose work on plate
and wood is already winning him
recognition, is vice-president, and
James Leake, who recently com
piled a specimen book of hundreds
of examples of printing, is secre
tary. Other members are Wayne
Leland, student ^of art?, Uric W.
Allen, dean of the school of jour
nalism, and Bobert C. Hall, super
intendent of the University press.
The society plans to purchase its
own etching press, and to furnish a
studio completoly equipped for
graphic art work. An important
task will be the collection and clas
sification of all rare books on the
University campus.
An exhibition of work done by
the members, and of important
books, will be held in the school of
journalism library the latter part of
next month, it is announced.
Plans are already being made to
extend chapters of the organiza
tion to other universities where
printing and allied subjects are
available for students. The soci
ety is cnthusihstically supported on
the Oregon campus, and it is ex
pected that the organization will
soon spread to other places.
MILITARY DEPARTMENT
INSPECTED BY OFFICES
As n result of the reeont inspec
tion by Major H. L. Jordan, officer
in charge of R. O ,T. 0. affairs for
the Ninth corps area, the Univer
sity of Oregon unit will bo recom
mended for inspection for distin
guished rating award next year, ac
cording to Lieutenant Colonel W.
S. Sinclair, commander of the local
unit.
“Major Jordan was pleased with
the showing made by the men of
this unit, as evidenced by their at
tention in both drill and class work,
and our unit will be recommended
by him to the army inspection
board from Washington, IX C.,”
said Colonel Sinclair.
Each year the inspection board
makes a tour of the corps areas
of the country, inspecting the B.
O. T. C. at each of the various in
stitutions which have been recom
mended for inspection by the offi
cer in charge of R. O. T. C. affairs
for the area. Three institutions
from each area are then recom
mended to the Washington head
quarters, as meritorious of the dis
tinguished rating award for profic
iency in this work.
Prior to this year the military
units of the Universities of Cali- j
fornia and Washington, Oregon Ag
ricultural college, have consistently
received distinguished rating. This
fact, states Colonel Sinclair, is
largely attributable to the greater
number of men eligible for military
training at those institutions, and
to the fact that they receive federal
aid for military work, given to laud
grant institutions under the terms
of the Morrill Act of 1862. The
result of the board’s inspection of
the Ninth corps area have not been
announced for this year as yet.
SWIMMING LETTERS ;
WON BY TOUR MEN
Aquatic Sport Enjoys Great
Gain in Popularity
Four men were successful in win
ning letters in swimming this year.
The men making the required num
ber of points were: Captain Bob
McCabe, Wauna, 7 1-4 points; Ben
Lombard, Portland, 17 1-4 points;
Art Erickson, San Diego, 10 points;
and A1 Sinclair, Eugene, 8 points.
Robert Boggs, Portland, a member
of the swimming team, made 6
points in one meet and a total of
22 for all the meets he took part
in, but did not make enough points
in the meet which counted for let
ters. Only the two meets with O.
A. C. are counted for letters. Boggs,
because of a residence rule, was in
eligible for varsity competition in
the first O. A. C. meet.
The varsity aquatic team took
part in five meets this year. The
first, with Multnomah Athletic
club on January 24, resulted in a
33-33 tie, but the second meet was_
won by the clubmen on February'
14, by a 42-25 victory. The first
O. A. C. meet held hero was won
by the Aggies by a scant margin of
36-32. The second meet at Corval
lis resulted in a 39-29 for the O.
A. C. natators. The Oregon swim
mers also took part in a state meet
held at Corvallis, and scored 16
points, taking third place.
Looking over the past record of
this year’s swimming team, it can
readily be seen that this aquatic
sport is becoming more and more of
interest to the students of the Uni
versity. Swtimming was inaugur
ated in the school only two years
ago, that is, it was at this time
[that the student body started giv
ing letters for it, recognizing it as
a minor sport.
The first year none of the men
were successful in making enough
points to be awarded letters. Last
year only two men, George Hors
fall and Lyle Palmer succeeded in
winning letters.
Letters and sweaters awarded
will be received by the men within
the next two weeks.
WOMEN TO COMMENCE
PRACTICE FOR TRACK
With Field Dny scheduled for
June 0, preparations are under way
for trnek events. Class managers
! are as follows: Senior, Beatrice
j Amundson; junior, Regina Devault;
sophomore, Virginia Dray; fresh
I man, Nellie Johns. So far, the
| turnout for this sport has not been
as whole-hearted nor as extensive
as was expected. The freshmen
girls have more recruits to their
credit than any of the other classes,
[while the juniors have displayed the

“THE GIFT WITHOUT
THE GIVEK”
To the Editor:
Since the very essence of the five
million campaign, of which the
Student Union drive is an integral
part, is one of voluntary giving,
it seems to me that to force a
“gift” from a student who is un
able to give, would be destruction
of the very spirit of the campaign.
Granted that there are some few
students who do not appreciate the
importance of the Student Union,
and even though they have the
money, or can earn it, will not sub
scribe,—there are also those, who
are not suited, because of ill health
to earn their own way through col
lege and whose parents are literally
“stretching every penny” to cover
the necessary needs of a college
education. When such a student
finishes college he may be able to
earn his own living and should vol
untarily send in his $100. But
again—he may have to fall back
on his family fo^ support.
Five dollars a term seems a small
amount to him who has it, but it
may mean the difference between
carrying on, or withdrawing from
school for him who has not.

IS THERE REALLY A
CLASSROOM SORORITY?
Editor of the Emerald:
Dear sir:
The advocates of the plan for
Saturday classes can hardly be seri
ous when they give as a reason for
them the scarcity of class rooms. It
is granted that there are very few
classrooms available in the morn
ing but in the afternoon there are
twelve rooms available at one
o’clock, nine at two o’clock and at
'two and three, full rooms are
harder to find than empty ones.
This condition indicates that there
is the alternative of afternoon
classes or Saturday classes. If it
be true that the reason why the
change is desired is because of the
scarcity of class rooms it will be
necessary to explain why the after
noon hours are not filled.

PROTEST PROPOSED RULING
The Editor:
Considerable attention and dis
cussion is being aroused on the cam
pus as to the feasibility of Satur
day classes. In as far as it will
provide the means to take care of
the so-called “crowded conditions”
the faculty may find a point in it’s
favor.
The average student, however,
looks at the situation at a differ
ent angle. How will he be bene
fited? Oregon has boasted of the
large number of self supporting
students that attend the Univer
sity, but how can these students
maintain their outside work when
forced to attend Saturday classes?
Students who carry activities find
that Saturday is the only day that
they can complete their term prob
lems and prepare their work for the
comingi week.
It will seriously interfere with
our athletes and athletic contests.
Men will not be able to put in their
Saturday “workouts,” and attend
ance at games will be seriously ham
pered.
Then the worthy instructor must
have ample time to prepare his
lectures for the following w^ek, and
surely he will not care to do this
worls on Sunday, it being the only
day left in the week for his rec
reation.
