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.

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

[erstand the mechanism « of an ]
utomobile if you refuse to raise;

That is both the tragedy and j
omedy of the pitiful scene in Ten- j
essee, the utter futility of it all,' (
he amazing effrontery of people j s
rho think they can stop the work- ,
ng of God’s own laws by a piece c
f legislation or the action of a ^
ourt—the thing is preposterous— t
t savors of blasphemy. 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

Salk about what they believe and

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

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. They should

'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

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.

The Greatest Historian
Of Them All
Homer wove history into his songs. The Pharaohs carved
it in Jtone. Julius Caesar painstakingly penned it on
papyrus.
Today, history is written and given to you simultaneously
with its Qccurence. Every day, the important events of
the world are summed up fully and comprehensively in
your newspaper. You are able to keep abreast of history
in its making.
And not the least important phase of modern history lies
in the realm of industrial progress. You find this chron
icled in the advertisements.
Advertising is a priceless boon to those who use it prop
erly. It keeps their informatiqn up-to-date on the great
variety of things that make life what it is today. It tells
them of the thousand and one things they need in order to
live profitable, happy and useful live$.
The consistent advertiser pays money to tell you about
his wares. He knows they are good—he backs them with
his money because he is confident that they will satisfy.
For only merchandise that is consistently good can be con
sistently advertised.
