MRS. GERLINGER SPEAKS
Idea of Memorial To Late
President Urged
Laving of the cornerstone of the
proposed fine art's building of the
University as a part of the cere
monies attending the University’s
semi-centennial next fall was sug
gested by Mrs. George T. Gerlingcr,
member of the board of regents, in
a luncheon address at*'the Eugene
chamber of commerce yesterday.
“I am asking $100,000 from the
people of Eugene as their contri
bution to the $300,000 fund requir
ed for the building,” said Mrs. Gor
linger. “As I look back over the
years of my connection with the
institution, I can see that the pres
ent University is in great part the
outgrowth of the fine spirit of one
man, and that man is President
Campbell. I see this spirit of his
reflected in the faculty and the
administration carrying on the
work.
Talk With President Related
“This building, Mrs. ucrnnger,
continued, “is to be in n senso liis
monument, and it is entirely fit
ting that it should bo so.” A iium
ber of years ago, the speaker re
lated, she. asked the President what
building he would preier to have
named after him, in connection
with the general building program,
then under discussion. “With his
accustomed modesty,” sho said,
“President Campbell replied that
ho did not expect that any build
ing should be named after him.
I then urged that since without
question ono day there would be
such a building wo should like to
know which ono ho would prefer,
and he replied. ‘The fine arts
building’” The late President’s
lifelong love of art and beauty was
brought out by the speakor, who
told of her last conversation with
Pr. Camj^iell, then gravely ill, at
which time he still looked forward
to a trip to Greece and to Rome,
whore ho might drink in beauties
denied to him by his busy life as
an administrator.
Money Gained At Exposition
“We owe it to the future,” she
continued, “to make the new part
of the campus, on which the fine
arts building would be erectod, as
beautiful as possible.”
Mrs. Gerlinger reported $10,000
raised for the building by a letter
campaign she put on several months
ago. The exact returns from the
All-Oregon exposition, Hold in f orl
li<ml curly in October, are to bo an
nounced within a few (lays. The
exposition, she asserted, hud won
friends ns well ns money for the in
stitution, beyond the expectations
of the promoters. The need for the
building to house the valuable art
collections already given or prom
ised to the University, was stressed
by the speaker, who pointed out
that the present Woman’s building
where the priceless Warner colloe
lion of oriental art objects is kept,
is not even fire-proof.
RAILWAY OFFICIALS
TO SPEAK IN EUGENE
At an open meeting of the rail
way officials representing the
Great Northern, to bo held Friday,
November 20, the northwest rail
way situation, a subject of state
wide interest, will be discussed, ac
cording to announcement made yes
terday by Peter Crockatt, profes
sor of economics. The meeting,
originally set for Villard hall, has
been changed to the chamber of
commerce rooms.
The question for discussion is of
intense interest to all of Oregon,
Ur. Peter Crockatt said, due to the
possibilities which may arise in the
furthering of railroad development ,
in the state.
The railway party, which cou
sists of M. L. Countryman, St.
Paul, vice-president and general j
counsel of the Great Northern i
Kailway; G. R. Martin, St. Paul, j
vice-president of tl>e Great North
ern; and S. U. Morris, Chicago, as
sistant to the chairman of public
* relations for all railways west of
Chicago, sent a special request to
Eugene asking permission and a
prospective date to give this dis
cussion.
“The importance of such a meet
ing can be noted, as these men who
will speak represent a billion dol
lar corporation and have asked per
mission to discuss the situation be
fore citizens of the state,” Pro
fessor Crockatt said. “In all prob
ability, it will develop into one of
the biggest railway meetings cvei
held in the state of Oregon.”
Economies classes on the campus
will be addressed in the afternoon,
MEN VOLUNTEER SKIN
TO SAVE CHILD’S LIFE
Four University students, Dun
can Dashney, Proctor Flanagan,
Dick Simonton and Boy Wheel
house, figured in a skin-grafting
operation, one of the largest ever
performed in a local hospital, to
save the life of Marjorie Hamilton,
small daughter of J. M. Hamilton,
1157 High street last week.
The child, whose clothing caught
fire while she was at play, was so
badly burned about the back and
shoulders, that immediate grafting
was necessary, and doctors and
nurses in the Pacific Christian hos
pital contributed ns much as poss
ible. Dr. O. C. Bother, who per
formed the operation, and who is
affiliated with the Sigma Chi fra
ternity, called upon the local chap
ter for help and the four boys vol
unteered. It was necessary to peel
from two to three inches of skin,
two layers deep, from the upper
leg of each person to cover the
girl’s injuries. She is responding
well to the treatment, and the
boys’ legs, although the grafting
was painful, are healing rapidly.

VOTER INDEX
Science Academy Records
Of California Procured
The subject index to the Oregon
Voter is now completed. The ref
erence department has published!
this index because of the large
number of students and faculty
members using ^the Oregon Voter
for statistical information.
The Oregon Voter contains all
statistics relative to Oregon’s po
litical, educational, economical ahd
industrial institutions. M. H. Doug
lass, says it is the most used set of
Oregon material in the library.
Extra copies of the index are be
ing sent to the Oregon state li
brary, the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege, and to the publishers of Ore
gon Voter.
After trying tor rirreen years,
the library has procured a complete
set of the Proceedings of the Cali
fornia Academy of Science. It con
sists of volumes one to five, dating
from 1854 to 1873. The hooks were
bought at a second hand store in
San Francisco.
The original copies of the Acad
emy were all destroyed in the San
Francisco fire and it is with much
difficulty that even a second hand
sot is obtained. Mr. Douglass feels
that the ^library is very fortunate
in getting this one.
SWIMMERS TO BEGIN,
PRACTICE FOR YEAR
Varsity and freshman candidates
for the swimming teams will open
practice Wednesday at 4:00 p. m.,
in the men’s gymnasium pool, states
Ed Abercrombie, who is varsity
swimming coach this year.
Practice for both varsity and
first year men will be on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday at 4, until
after Christmas vacation, stated
the coach.
At the present time it is impos
sible to determine the strength of
this year’s team, but several lct
termen are expected to report.
The fancy divers, who have beon
working on tumbling for the past
few weeks, will take to the water
Wednesday evening at 7, says Ab
ercrombie.” This work is to be
in the women’s pool, and practices
hereafter will come on Wednesday
and Friday at 7 p. m. sharp.”
All divers are expected to report
also in the men’s gymnasium on
Thursday and Friday for tumb
ling,” he stated. This work is ir
addition to the regular work in the
pool.

entire year will be held about Jan
uary 12, according to J. Stanley
Gray, head forensic coach. Ora
tors to represent the University in
all of its five or six intercollegiate
contests of the year will be select
ed at that time.
Mr. Gray suggested that those
men or women in the University
who contemplated going out foi
this year’s speaking contests should
decide the event they wish to enter
and get to work at once on their
manuscripts. He desires students
interested to see him at once.
Contests to be held this year, in
which Oregon students will be rep
resented are: Tri-State contest, Ida
ho, Washington, Oregon; Pacific
Forensic league contest; State Old
Line contest, and State Peace con

test.
Irregularity Found In
Grading Systems Of
Schools On Campus
'Continued from page one)
ology, Sociology, Fine Arts, Normal
Arts, Greek, Drama, Music, and
Latin.
Extremely significant is the*var
iation in the percentage of F’s.
From 20.63 in Political Science, and
11.55 in Men’s physical education,
the percentage dwindles to .39 in
Sociology and .24 in Fine Arts.
Dragging down the I’s seems al
so to be somewhat a matter of de
partmental registration. Military
gives I’s in 31.92 percent of all
grades. Music follows closely with
I’s making up 27.83 percent, while
Drama shows 24.24. Economics with

second round will terminate. Then
the stage will be set for the third
round.
When the third round is through
but-three teams will be left in com
petition. These teams will fight it
out the following week for the high
est honor on the campus given to
any intra-mural athletic team, that
of the “winner of the doughnut
title.” They will be the acclaimed
victors of the athletic circle.
Players “Hopped Up”
This honor is but part of the
reason the players want to prove
themselves, it is rumored, as sev
eral secret statements have blown
forth to the effect that some team
of unknown name is out to win the
championship, and that some other
team is out to stop them.
This in itself tends to hop-up the
players and some fighting games^of
the combination of football-baseball
track-basketball will be seen on the
court in the men’s gymnasium this
week and next.
