BOOKS ON MODERN COLLEGE LIFE
IN DEMAND ON OREGON CAMPUS
Stories by the Favorites, Sinclair Lewis, John P. Gavit, and
Stanley Johnson Popular With Students
Recent books on all phases of
college life are in constant demand
by the students this year, according
to Mrs. Mabel McClain, head of the
circulation department at the lib
rary.
“Arrowsmith,” “The Professor,”
“The Plastic Age,” “College” and
“Town and Gown” are the most
I popular of these books, but many
others of a satirical and critical
nature as well as novels of pure
romance and essays find large cir
culation.
Although Sinclair Lewis’ t‘Ar
rowsmith” does not deal entirely
with college life, this favorite au
thor draws many true-to-life pic
tures of student activity. For in
stance, take the following excerpt:
“At examination time, Digamma
Pi fraternity showed its value to
urgent seekers after wisdom. Gen
erations of Digams had collected
test-fjapers and preserved them in
the sacred Quiz Book; geniuses for
detail had labored through tl/e
volume and marked with red pen
1 oil the problems most often set in
the course of years. The freshmen
—writhed, clawed their hair and
bit their fingers. . . ”
The book is written in Lewis’
usual style and follows Martin Ar
rowsmith through medical school
and the experiences of a country
doctor. It is declared by many
reviewers the best book the author
i has yet done.
“College” Realistic Story
I “College” by John Palmer Gavit,
[ formerly of the New York Post is
the latest book on the college oub
| joct, being published this year.
Once in a blue moon somebody
I writes a book of which it can be
i said it was needed to be written.
J That is precisely what Gavit lias
J done. Controversy and criticism
we have had in plenty; but we lack
ed a good piece of reporting about,
what is actually going on in the
college. Mr. Gavit’s book supplies
that information, dealing with
such phases as culture and cur
riculum, religion and radicalism,
ratings of—various things, college
women and marriage and the col
lege polishersl
“The Professor!,” by Sianle[y
Johnson, is a story of a red-haired
English professor at a small Ver
mont university. It differs from
the usual'run of college stories be
cause the author is not vory much
concerned with the students. The
professor is a baffled personality.
He makes love to the co-eds and
j thereby becomes ridiculous. Finally
Mie ends his perplexing experience^
I by marrying tiio {laughter of a
j prominent member of the faculty,
The book is crammed with satire
j and is well worth reading for its
I unusual humor.
“Plastic Age” Enjoys Long Run
j “The Plastic Age,” Percy Marks’
novel of a few years ago, found a
i big demand during the last two
years and this year is proving
equally as popular." This is a typ
ical college story which takes one,
Hugh Carver, through the miseries
of frosh inftiation and other mem
orable events of a four-year col
lege course, with all the glamor
and excitement of college to the
sadness of leaving college behind
to embark upon the “great adven
ture.” There is the moral of the
instructor’s duty toward the stu
dent and the usual romance of
fidelity to the “girl at home” and
the attraction for the coy co-ed.
Hugh bravely over-comes his ro
mantic desire to wed and ends the
story by thanking heaven for his
escape.
Most Writers Satirical
Mr. and Mrs. Lynn Montross’s
“Town and Gown” graphically por
trays life in a co-educational insti
tution in the Middle-West. The
story reeks in satire and hard flip
princes. It is an attempt, on the
part of youth, to stand off and
l take a look at youth itself. Last
year this book took the students by
storm and has steady circulation
this year.
“The Professor’s House,” by
Willa Gathers and “Grey Towers,”
anonymous, are both stories deal
ing with the faculty. They are
not to be mentioned in the same
breath. “Grev Towers” is not
worth reading. “Lady Connie,”
a book on Oxford by Ms. Humph
rey Ward, is an interesting account
of life at the English university.
There are a good many other
books on this: subject in the library,
including two series by Foerster en
titled “Essays for College Men”
and Woodrow Wilson’s “When a
Man Comes to Himself,” which find
wide popularity. Most of these
books, naturally enough, are pri
marily critical and satirical in
treatment.
Students from many states of
! the union and from several foreign
countries have been made to feel
at home and to regard the library
as a source from which great
knowledge may be gained, but the
visitor of yesterday makes us gasp
in wonder. What the meaning is
can not be solved by the evolution
theory nor the anti-evolution the
ory.
He was accompanied by a promi
nent teacher of botany, who had
evidently been giving advice on the
use of the library for he nosed
among all the books and magazines
1 within reach. He was given free
use of the reading room and the
, stacks along with the botany in
structor. Before leaving he stopped
at the circulation desk and watched
them checking out books, He
seemed out for silent information
or inspiration rittd hsked no ques
tions, foolish or otherwise. After
lie had tripped silently Of the
door, everyone gasped ajhd said,
“my what an intelligent dog, arid
so well mannered!”
GIRLS ENJOY ‘HIGH LIFE'
SAYS LOCAL AVIATOR
“Oirlg have more nerve than
hoys,” says AI Clark who with
Archie Loomis operates a passen
ger aeroplane .from the aviatipn
field just outside of Eugene.
“The girls get a l>ig kick out of
it,” asserted Al. "The boys stick
their heads in the cork-pit and net
scared the minute they get in the
aeroplane, but the girls look around
and seem to like it. The first
thing a boy says as he climbs in the
cockpit is, ‘I wonder if I’m safe!'
The girls don’t care. Ask a boy
after his first, ride if he wants a
thrill and he says ‘No.’ Ask a girl
and she says, 'Go as far as vow
like!”
Al thinks that psychology enters
into aviation as well as skill. A
passenger must be going primarily
for the ride, not to be with either
Al er Archie. This was demon
strated when Archie took up n cer
tain young lady who couldn’t seem
to get her eyes off him. The en
gine stopped. Archie requested the
passenger to put her head in the
cock pit and the engine immediate
ly started.
Archie Loomis's first trip through
the air was on a glider of his own
invention. For some reason the
glider didn't work and Archie suf
fered a broken arm. In the world
war. Archie learned how to operate !
a real aeroplane, and under his
tutelage Al has progressed Until
they both guarantee a safe trip to
all passengers.

TO RECREATE PAGEANT
Oregon and 0. A. C. Clubs to
Cooperate Again
“Plans are already under way for
the annual spring pageant, given
by the Cosmopolitan club,” said
Miss Edna Spenker, newly deleted
president. “The pageant whieh was
given for the first time here last
spring, was so successful that the
club has decided to make it an an
nual event.”
The festival given last year was
the first entertainment of its kind
ever undertaken by any similar
organization. More than ■.a hun
dred students took part in a series
of musical numbers, recitations and
pantomines, which depicted in na
tive costumes and furnishings the
home life and traditions of many
nations.. At Corvallis, Oregon and
O. A. C. organizations plan to
cooperate again this year. The
local club festival, is now being
used as a model for similar organ
izations throughout the country.
“Above all nations is humanity”
is the motto of the Cosmopolitan
club and its purpose is to bring
together for mutual benefit, social
ly and intellectually, the foreign
born students attending the Uni
versity. Those of foreign parent
age and those interested in pro
moting better relations between
foreign nations also are eligible to
membership. The organization plans
to promote international relation
ship through personal friendships
'ormed at college and thus to aid
in bringing about a better under
standing among the peoples of the
world.

student body and has been faith
fully observed by them. It is a
University tradition that every stu

has been so well approved by the
governors of the state that on no
occasion has the state executive
failed to be present to read < the

concerning their relationship as
students in the state University to
the commonwealth.
