Intend u .econd claw matter at the poet office at Eugene. Oregon, under act
tt Cencreaa of March 8. 1878.
A Foot-Hold in Arcadia
pRANK L. Chambers, Eugene banker, has given to the Univer
sity a 1000-foot strip of land on the south tank of the mill
race. The strip, we understand, extends from the present
bleachers east to the poirft where floats are annually launched
in the canoe fete. Seldom has a gift to the University so ap
pealed to the imagination. In giving the land Mr. Chambers
assures for all time the use of the race by the students in one
of their dearest, traditions. The privilege of using the race for
the fete is now in the hands of the students, and can be denied
to them by no one.
Mr. Chambers does not claim the University of Oregon
as his alma mater, yet he has ever been one of its best
friends. His daughter and wife are Oregon alumnae. Had the
students used a wishing ring or a magic wand they could
scarcely have thought of a more delightful gift to wish for than
that of Mr. Chambers—it is, indeed, a foot-hold in Arcadia.
Celebrated, in truth, is this mill race in songs and stories of
Oregon—invoking as it does the memory of picnics and water
sports, and the important “onee-a-year” occasion when Alladin
rubs his magic lamp and strange and wonderful creations float
out of the darkness. . .
The donor of the bleachers site has come very close to the
student life, and shown his understanding of it.,
The “Creation”
JJAYDN’S musical masterpiece, “The Creation,’’ is to be pre
sented tonight by the Eugene Oratorio society in the
Methodist Episcopal church. It will likewise be heard tomor
row evening. It is significant that John Stark Evans, assistant
Jean of the school of music, is directing the work of the 170
singers. It is also significant that the singers are the best musi
cians in city and University circles. Music serves the delight
of man. And in this case it is an added bond between the Uni
versity and the people of Eugene.
To relieve the congestion in Quartz hall, some of the classes
now vising the room will move into Condon hall, the new science
building. Puns were considered pardonable in the time of
Queen Elizabeth. Migh^ we venture that housing classes in
Quartz hall has become a hard proposition!
Whose was the blame? Whose was the blame? “Paramour”
seems to have been misspelled in one of the contributions of a
campus poet to The Emerald. It might have been the poet’s
fault—or the copy-reader’s—or the proof-reader’s. Or all their j
faults. Or an accident. Anyway, Martha Hennley will take
courage from the fact that these various persons are not too fa
miliar with such a "wicked, wicked word!”

USAGE OF GOOD ENGLISH
IS DEMANDED IN POETRY
To the Editor:
Poetry again! But just a gentle
slap this time.
In the writing of poetry, perhaps
it is not necessary to strive for per
fection of idea or image at all
times, but at least a good usage of
the words of the English language
is demanded. There is really little
excuse for spelling such a simple
word as “paramour,” as it was
spelled in the Poetry column (par
don me, Lvrio Rainbow eolumn)
Thursday morning. Perhaps it does
sound like it was spelled "para |
more” but any dictionary, from a
pocket edition to Webster’s una
bridged, would give the correct
method of conveying the idea of “a ,

POET OFFERS HER
APOLOGIES TO WEBSTER
To the Editor:
To ward off further criticism I
wish to make an explanation for
the misspelling of one of the words
in one of my attempts at poetry in |
.Thursday’s Emerald. I refer to the1
word “paramour,” which appeared
at the end of the last sketch, and
which appeared “paramore.” The
original version of my labors was
roughly scribbled on the cover of
a magazine, as I received the “in
spiration” on the S. P. en route to
Portland one week-end. This copy j
was handed to Walter Evans Kidd, I
who in turn gave it over to a third 1
party for typing, and because of
the joggling of the train and the
irregularity of my own eerography j
the typist probably was unable to
read my writing. On the other
hand, the fault may have been with
the proof-reader, and was obviously
over-looked by the copy-readers.
However, on the other hand it may
have been I. who, wrapped in the
spell of my inspiration as the train
pulled into the city, was all obliv
ious to spelling and such, and mis- '
spelled it myself. In that case, I
wish to apologize to the Emerald,
to the publie and to Webster’s. j
HUMBLY.
CONGRATULATIONS, TREATS !
FROM DEFEATED CANDIDATE
To the Editor: j
I wish to congratulate Ed Miller
on his victory in the race for the
editorship. I ran him a close race
and with about five hundred more
votes I would have won easily.
I have purchased sixty choice
Havana cigars and will give one to
?ach of my loyal supporters who
will bring me a sworn statement
ihowing that he voted for me.

INTERESTING FACTS OF HISTORY
Do You Know
— that Monricello, Jefferson’*
estate on a hill overlooking the
University of Virginia is being
restored by the Thomas Jeffer
son Memorial Foundation and
will be maintained by them
for the American people?
Thomas Jefferson was bora on
April 13, 1743. He framed the
Declaration of Independence.
His associates, among whom
were John Adams, Benjamin
Franklin and John Hancock,
knew that Jefferson could do
this satisfactorily and they
signed it, with minor changes,
as it expressed the minds of the
American people.
Jefferson and Adamsbothserved
as President of the United
States for opposing parties.
They became fast friends, and
by a singular coincidence both
died on July 4, 1826.
Facsimile copies of the Declara
tion of Independence for fram
ing are obtainable free on re
quest from this company.
The John Hancock Mutual is particularly interested fn insuring college men and
women and obtaining anlMaui coUegt graduates for the personnel of its fieUnaf.

| ANNE DEAR:
| Affairs on the campus are be- i
| ginning to become normal once §
| again after a week of frenzy. |
| Every one was worked up to a |
| high pitch, for the student body j
| election was held on Wednesday, |
| and you know how seriously this |
j affair is taken by all of the stu-1
| dents.
| Martha broke the spring of |
j her darling wrist watch. It is a |
| tiny diamond shape Swiss watch, I
| a very attractive and unusual de-j
| Bign. You can understand how |
| grieved she was to break it. She j
| took it to a number of jewelers J
| in town but none of them could j
| repair it because they did not j
| have the delicate Swiss parts. 11
| told her to go to Skeie’s, and j
| sure enough, Skeie’s glady under- |
J took to repair it. They do all |
| kinds of watch repairing and |
| make a specialty of Swiss repair |
| work. i
| Shagginess is certainly an un-1
| forgivable sin, especially when §
| the Co-ed Barber Shop is so close |
| to the campus that a girl may |
| drop in there between classes |
| and have her hair trimmed. This |
1 shop is ideal in every way— |
| handy, exclusively for women as |
1 its name indicates, and expert |
| barbers. Hardly any one goes to |
| town for hair cuts any more. |
| You know how beautiful a pro- |
| file Daisy has, but she was al- §
| ways conscious of a slight 1
| growth of hair on one side of 1
| her face which rather detracted i
| from her looks somewhat. The I
| other day,'she stopped in at the 1
| Hastings Sisters and had this fa-1
| cial blemish removed with Dr. |
| Myer’s Permanent Hair Remover §
j which actually does what it is 1
j supposed to do. j
| The Style Shop has an entirely |
jnew idea in sport hats. This at- 1
| tractive little affair is called a \
| picnic hat. It comes in all colors 1
| of wool felt and its unusual [
| feature is that it may be folded |
I up or rolled up and carried in I
| the poeket without destroying its |
| shape. It’s a splendid hat for j
| hikes or picnics because it is so \
| light and indestructible. One I
| can safely buy a white or light j
1 colored one because they may be f
| dry cleaned. It seems remark- i
| able that these smart felts are
| only two dollars. The picnic j
| hat comes in a sealed package. j
It is possible to keep a house
looking very attractive if one
keeps fresh flowers prettily ar
ranged here and there. At Baup’s ;
Floral Shop, where ^assistance is
always given in choosing appro
| priate floral decorations, we got
| some gorgeous gladiolas in shades
| varying from delicate shell to I
| rich rose. The baby gladiolas
j add a desirable touch to a bou
| quet of the large blossoms. Then, |
| snap dragons in harmonizing 1
| colors, are certainly very pleas- |
| ing, to*.
...
j Charles is taking me on his
| house picnic tomorrow night.
| You can’t imagine how thrilled
§ I am about going, for it is to be
| held up the McKenzie. Charles
|is on the “eats” committee, and
| said that he had ordered some po
j tato salad and Sandwich Dainty
| Spread at Underwood and El
| dot’s Grocery. To me, a picnic
| is never complete without a good
j salad, so I welcome the thoughts
| of some. Underwood and Elliott’s
| get it fresh daily.
* » *
| Wish you could be along on
| our picnic. Can’t you plan to
| come up before the end of the
| term!
CAROL.
