1838, and February 9, 1839, has re
cently been purchased by the Uni

librarian, Monday. This binder
contains every edition of the paper
that was brought off the press, or
52 in number. This newspaper dis
cusses polities, Toviews, speeches,
and has editorials. Any student of
American literature would enjoy
looking over this volume which
shows its ago by yellowed pages
and old type.
Another new book just received is
“Tho House of Israel or Anglo
Saxons,” by Samuel Albert Brown,
a prominent physician of Portland,
and, according to Mr. Douglass, a

chairs with tablet arm(i if necessary :
to accommodate the crowd.

Among the Authors
By Tom Graham
A comparatively new man has
bten seen in the field of satirical
humor who seems well on the way
to fill the place vacated toy Don
ald Ogden Stewart who fell,so
sadly out of the picture with his
last book, “The Crazy Fool.”
This new man is Corey Ford who
has written excellent parodies on
the Rover Boys for Bookman and
Judge. His article in Bookman is
“The Kollo Boys in the Curwood”
and James Oliver’s (pet expres
sions and situations are done with
more skill than Stewart has shown
since “Perfect Behavior.”
The rise and fall of popular
humorists would be a good work
for Gamaliel Bradford. His pre
occupation with the soul of man
would be fully exercised in chron
icling the careers of such men as
Bencbley, Leacock, Stewart and
Ford. It seems very strange that
popularity has killed so many prom
ising humorists.
For a while they are excellent
and turn out a book a month but
this happy period does not last
long. Soon comes the fatal day
when such a book as the “Crazy
Fool” comes out and the humorist
may as well lay his typewriter in
the attic for all the attention he is
able to attract after that unless the
unusual happens and he makes a
sensational comeback.
However that may be Corey Ford
is now gioing strong and every arti
cle he has written has shown an
improvement over the last so in or
der to get in on the ground floor
start Ho read him now. His [books
may be inferior to his articles and
then will begin the search for his
successor for it seems that humor
ists thrive alone but as soon as one
is gone another comes to take his
place.
Sherwood Anderson, the man who
has had more of his stories in the
O 'Brien collections than any other,
had a new novel published last
month named “Dark Laughter.”
If this book is up to the standard of
“The Story Teller’s Story” it will
be one of the most popular (on the
campus. Since “Many Marriages”
Sherwood has been one of the most
discussed, if not the best liked, nov
elist whose works are read lier%.
Keviewers in England have more
praise for him than any other of
the Americans. This is one in
stance where a prophet is not with
out honor in his own country. And
erson is as American as Abraham
Lincoln and will, it is thought,
bring some of the literary prestige
back to our shores that fled abroad
at the heels of Michel Arlin, Aldous
Huxley and the energetic Phillip
Gibbs.
Clarence Darrow, counsel for Leo
pold and Loeb and defender of the
scientific faith at Dayton, has
taken to literature. He has of late
been contributing articles to the
American Mercury and states' his
intention of writing a book in the
near future. His articles in. the
Mercury, one on salesmanship which
is a discussion of correspondence
courses and one on the “Edwardses
and the Jukes,” discussing hered
ity, show a light style resembling
Mr. Mencken’s own. Mr. Darrow’s
name adds another to the list of
popular lawyer-authors, the best
known of whbm is Arthur Train.
Olga Petrove, once of the screen,
will soon enter the list of women
short story writers with a volume in
English. Since her departure from
the movies she has been writing,
directing, managing and acting her
own plays. She has had a long and
active career which included lectur
ing at Columbia and Princeton and
an invitiation to sing operatic roles
in Munich so in view of her past
activities her short stories shbuld
rank with Zona Gale and Edna Fer
ber.
Portrait of First,
Regent Executive
•Given University
A full-length oil portrait of
Judge Matthew P. Deady, first
! president of the Board of Regents,
has just been received at the
Administration building. The
portrait was bequeathed to the
University by the late Mrs. Lucy
Ann Henderson Deady, widow of
the judge.
According to word received
from Henderson B. Deady, of
Portland, the portrait is hand
sodely framed and is a creditable
likeness of his father. No infor
i mation has been received as to
the name of the painter.
Deady hall, presented to the
state of Oregon in 1876 by the
citizens’ of Lane county, was
named after this first president.
EXPERT TYPISTS WANT WORK
Students who have any papers,
novels or letters to be typewritten
are urged to patronize campus
stenographers. About thirty girls
have signed up with the Y. W. C. A.
employment committee and are
patiently waiting for calls. All of
them are experienced. Somle have
had training in public offices and
1 are undoubtedly capable of de
ciphering the most difficult copy.

“SEE YOURSELF IN THE MIX”
RHODES SCHOLAR ELUCIDATES
UPON EUROPEAN MANNERISMS
When one walks into the little
office of S. Stevenson Smith at the
extreme southern end of the musty
old assembly hall in Villard he sees
nothing to distinguish it from
dozens of other little offices in
other campus buildings. Nothing—
that is—except its occupant.
S. Stevenson Smith looks the
part. Imagine—a typical scholar, a
man who has taken the trouble to
delve into things beyond the m<ere
surface, short of stature, rather
plump—if a man may be called
plump (the thin, long-haired, attic
scholar is a thing of the past) —
with a small, coal-black mustache
just above a mouth that often
wrinkles in a friendly smile. Think
of your pet characterization of the
young, well-educated man of today
and, ten to one, it will conform with
the impression instantly received
by a young reporter who stepped
into the office of S. Stephenson
Smith, new instructor in the Eng
lish department, Monday afternoon.
Smith is what might be called an
Oregon “product.” In 1915 he was
graduated from Reed College, Port
land, and was awarded a Rhodes
scholarship. He went to England to
Lincoln College, Oxford, where he
received a research degree, bachelor
of letters.
The recent revival of interest in
the Shakespearean drama in this
country brought to the mind of the
interviewer a few questions.
municipality of any size has its en
played more in Germany than in
“Shakespeare,” said Smith, “is
England. Nearly every German
dowed theater.”
“In London,” he said, “the chief
center of Shakespearean drama is
‘Old Vic’ theater. Some time ago
‘Old Vic’ was about to be con
demned and shut up when some
wealthy m!an donated a large sum of
money and saved the historic the
ater.” The ‘‘Old Vic” company
confines itself to Shakespearean
drama and classical English comedy,
lie explained.
TREES OF UNIVERSITY
GET FALL TRIMMING
University gardeners have begun
the fall cleanup of the campus this
week. The beds of shrubbery and
flowers surrounding the buildings,
and the rose hedges are all being
cultivated and trimmed in prepara
tion for winter.
The coming of fall always means
an increase in work to keep the
grounds in good condition. The
m&ny trees and vines begin losing
their leaves, and a crew of men is
kept busy raking them from the
lawn.

In Household Arts
For Men Students
“The school of household arts
is no longer the strictly feminine
institution that it has bee'n in
past years, and as it is still re
garded by many,” said Mrs.
Lilian Tingle, head of the depart
ment, yesterday. “We now en
courage men to come to our de
partment and a great many of
them are taking advantage of the
courses offered,” she continued.
It is now possible for men to
take a full year course in house
hold arts. Among the courses
offered them are: Food selection,
for house managers; camp cook
ery, elementary food economics,
and household management.
The camp cookery course was
offered last spring term for the
first time and proved so popular
that it was difficult to accommo
date all of th^, men who enrolled.
