Entered as second claw matter at the post office at Eugene, Oregon, under act
•< CongreM ef March 8, 1879.
‘HE REST of this week—next week, and then—“the del
uge.” It is well to take a moment to consider what it is all
about. What has been gained this year, individually and col
lectively by the University of Oregon students? Because,
whether we be optimists or pessimists, the matter of gain enters
into that process known as taking stock of oneself. The fresh
man is beginning to know “what it is all about.” The sopho
more is beginning to be discriminating. The junior is already
“a college man,” or, rather, “a university man.” And the
senior—ah, he, poor dear, is looking up from his four years of
struggle and contemplating the awful possibility of “grow
ing up!”
And after taking stock of one’s self, there remained stock
taking for the University. We are likely to find a great many
things on the shelves. A university, if it lives up to its name,
has the quality of universality. There more to it for the opti
mist than counting the number of good times he has had, the
singing around the dinner tables, the dances, the games, or
whatever else could be classed under that general heading.
There is even more to it for the pessimist than counting the
number of times he has been bored.
But whether the University has meant little or much, the
out-going seniors find many loose ends—courses which they
wish they had taken—people they might have known, yet some
how7 never did—and dreams which still stretch to a vanishing
point. But this state of affiars is perhaps better than if there
were a settled variety of satisfaction. The university gives one
taste, or perhaps it would be truer to say that it forms one’s
tastes. Certainly one is a student here during but a small por
tion of his life. And it remains to be seen how' these tastes can
later be satisfied, how the student can learn to satisfy them and
This necessity for growth is met with outside the university.
'“Antecedent to Adult Education” is the title of an article in
The Survey, which goes on to say, “History throws some light
upon these questions. Amongst primitive groups education de
votes itself entirely to the training of children and youths. The
adults need no education. There is nothing for them to learn.
They know all there is to be known. Is it merely a coincidence
that a primitive group tends to become social stagnation per
sonified?”
And so we have it. The University should have in stock,
and the student should come to know—growing pains. K
rJ"'IIE ABOVE title, which heads an article by A. P. Brogan
in The Nation for May 20, holds an interest for those who
have heard college life criticized from the outside, and seen its
devious ways from the inside. An interesting experiment, how
ever, w7as that of finding what the students themselves re
garded as sins—quite asid^ from their studies of ethics, reli
gion and philosophy.
The author describes the experiment as follows: “Thinkers
of former days drew up lists of ‘cardinal virtues,’ and ‘deadly
sins.’ It would be difficult to say how closely those lists cor
responded to dominant popular attitudes of the times. . . . Ac
cordingly students were asked to give lists of the ‘best prac
tices’ and the ‘worst practices’ that they knew. The students
seemed to be unable to give any significant list of the best prac
tices, whereby hangs another tale. So the study was confined

to the bad practices. There happened to be sixteen of these
bad practices which stood out as being mentioned most fre
quently by the students. The list of the sixteen practices, in
alphabetical order, is given below.” These turn out to be:
cheating, dancing, drinking, extravagance, gambling, gossip,
idleness, lying, Sabbath-breaking, selfishness, sex irregularity,
smoking, snobbishness, stealing, swearing and vulgar talk.
| In tabling the results, the author says: ‘‘It appears that
any group of two dozen or more students gives substantially
the same ranking that any other such group gives. Below are
printed the average rankings given by several hundred men
and women at the University of Texas during the years 1919
1921. The rankings are based upon arithmetical averages.
Number 1 represents what they think is the worst to do, and
so on for the others.
