Day Editor This Issue Mary Cierin Night Editor This Issue Carv. Nelson Entered u eecond due matter at the poit office at Eugene, Oregon, under act «l Congr—a el March 8, 1879. JN ANCIENT times, when the Greeks enjoyed their celebrated Olympic games, it was customary to crown the victors with wreaths of laurel. And so the laurel has come to mean a guer don won, a goal reached. The laurel, picturesque as it is, has become only a symbol. Other times have brought other marks of achievement. Other rewards are the crown of excellence. The University of Oregon has three symbols of distinction to offer to outstanding students. Mary Jane Hathaway was this year awarded the Albert prize, having been named by vote of her classmates the senior who has made the greatest all around development of leadership during her four years in the University. Eloise Buck has been awarded the Gerlinger cup for being the most outstanding woman in the junior class, and to Robert Mautz has been .given the Koyl cup as the most outstanding junior man. The Emerald joins with the entire student body in offering its congratulations. It realizes the immense amount of respon sibile service these students have rendered their alma mater. It recognizes in them the qualities which keep the awards at their present high standard. It sees in them not only the qual ities which have^been the basis for judgment but the larger thing which will make the University proud of them in the wider field of life. 'HE DEBATERS and orators of the University of Oregon have made a most unusual showing this year. They have brought to Oregon the Northwest debate championship, the Northwest Oratory championship, the state peace contest cham pionship. and the right to represent the Pacific Coast in the finals of the national constitution contest to be held at Los An geles June f*. Oregon won against six other coast colleges and will meet six schools representing as many sections of the country in the finals. Will Oregon win? It is not impossible that Oregon can win. It is not unlikely that Oregon will win. But one thing is lacking. There is no appropriation for a coach to accompany the speaker. It means much to a man to sec his own coach sitting before him. It gives him the necessary inspiration to win. especially when he is fac ing a strange audience. At the tryouts in San Francisco Satur day the Oregon speaker was the only one unaccompanied by a coach. ' 1" • • Steps are being taken to secure an appropriation to send r>ne of the coaches south. Surely the cause is a worthy one. Patriotic students should remember that a national champion ship is within Oregon*s reach. Never has Oregon had such an opportunity before. Let’s make a go of it! Back to the Fifteenth Century JT WAS or was ’t?—less crowded at the Junior Prom this year ihart in other record-breaking years. The Great Event, coming as it does at the close of the University social season, draws its share of freshmen, rising sophomores, and lofty juniors. [Most of the seniors stay home to try on their caps and gowns!) But at any rate, this year it was not too crowded for one to see.the decorations, even though the lights were soft —oh, very. It really was a charming sight. Ami “Bright the lamps shone on fair women and brave men,” except that they were not bright. Still, feudal times were good old days. And their were no flies on the fifteenth century if it was like the prom. Crowned With Laurel Oregon’s Chance Campus Bulletin \ Notices will be printed in this column far two issues only.

( TOLERANCE AND CHRISTIAN ’ SPIRIT MOST NEEDED NOW ( Mr. Don Woodward, ( Editor, Emerald, 1 Campus. * Dear Mr. Woodward: As chairman of the United Chris- ■ tian work on the Oregon campuA, : I have been more than casually in- , terested in the religious life and ] thinking of the University com- i munity and in this connection I ■ wish to commend your editorial of May 21st, “Has the Day of Judg- , ment Arrived?” The time has come when those , sincerely concerned for the higher ; things and for the welfare of true Christianity should speak out. In an attempt to befuddle the un- : thinking, and becloud the real is sues at stake a peculiar form of intellectual pogramming is being resorted to in certain quarters. • These tactics remind me of the squid with his inky discharge. First, we have this furor about evolution. Well, I good many things could be, and have been, said on this old subject—Dr. Con don fought this all out in this val ley a good many years ago and set tled it, as we thought, and now the thing bobs up again. One of our enlightened Methodist ministers re cently said the best thing I have heard yet about this—“You know (to his congregation) if evolution is so, all the officials in our church can’t stop it.” And Dr. Mayo, the famous surgeon, said the other really good thing about it, to wit: Mr. Bryan can’t understand evolu tion because he has no background of scientific knowledge—(these are fiot his exact words but the mean ing of them)—and there is the whole trouble, you can’t really un ^ I COMING EVENTS!

E And still perhaps a great good is ;oing to come out of it all because cience will be vindicated and ■ iseudo-Christianity will have to give ray to the type of Christianity Jes is Christ meant us to have, a toler nt, a kindly a doing-good, and not alking-foolishly-kind of Christiah ty And this brings me to the sec nd point—“Mr. Taxpaper’s” (who ecently wrote to the Oregonian) chine about the irreligious Univer ity of Oregon. This is an old rick used by insincere people when hey want to hurt some institution >r person. I’ve heard the same hing many times—(I heard it in i church not long ago—shame!)— t usually comes from a mean, self ighteous type of long-face, a pe uliarly un-Christianlike type of >erson who has other motives than he well-being of the institution or )erson attacked. Now I have had some experience in a good many college campuses md off of them, too, and the ■harge of the person who hides be lind the shjeld of tax-payer is raise, damnably false. As student 3odies .go tffe Oregon student body s the most decent, high-minded, I save ever been associated with— here may be less hymn-singing and I Salk about what they believe and ;hink, but on the fundamentals rhey are as near right as most roung people of this age. There ire young people and some old ones oo, on every campus who have had 10 experience in life who have not ret thought things through, who meer at Christianity arid all relig ious feelings and beliefs. This shallow intellectualism is the nor nal thing in many youths, or tvhere people have not seen life, ir don’t know the world they live n. It pervades all campuses (but s not confined to them) and is found in every land. Tolerance and the Christian spir it on both sides is the thing most needed now. There are fine things in the “Old Time Religion,” but if Hie advocates of it could only see more clearly they would realize that science and evolution will, in the future, be the greatest bulwarks to the Christian Faith.

SMITH. 'o the Editor: This letter, my first in eight ears, is written in the hope of ifting 'unmerited blame from inno ent shoulders. There appears to ie misunderstanding regarding the eason for the absence of the K^yl up from the Junior Prom—an af air which, aside from being 100. ler cent cupless, was a splendid: uccess. WThen the Koyl cup turned ip missing, it was announced at ime for presentation that last ear’s holder had forgotten to bring t. This inadvertently exposed the idder to considerable adverse crit cism, kindly enough, no doubt, but mdeserved. Mr. Woodward had ot forgotten to bring the cup. He ad been informed some time ago y the chairman of the committee n awards that Mr. Koyl was to end a new cup, since the old cup, warded first in 1914, was now full f names, leaving no room for fur her inscriptions. The old cup was o be placed in some appropriate pot on the campus. The new trophy arrived, and in LAST * TIMES TODAY “North of 36” JACK HOLT LOIS WILSON ERNEST TORRENCE NOAH BEERY | CENTURY COMEDY~~| Night Matinee _ _ Kids ime for presentation at the Prom, >ut the chairman' of the commit ee on awards was not so informed intil Monday, May 25; and the ?rom was over at midnight of the !3. It was the belief of last year’s lolder that the new cup was to be presented, and no one had called >n him for the old one, which he vas ready to turn over to any au thorized person. The whole matter is not serious, in the belief of the writer; but he has heard that there was rndfre or less criticism of last year’s cup holder; and he believes that those who have criticised would not do so if informed of the facts.
