Matt Johnson Company 30 EAST NINTH The Green Stamp Store 30 Easy Steps From Willamette Street Oregon Represented in Art by Professor Schroff Unusual Collection of Summer Scenes Now in Museum Wind-swept trees, sun-bathed val leys, misty hills, shady nooks, and happy wavelets dashing up against jagged rocks; these are the things one sees in the collection of paint ings representing the recent work of Prof. Alfred A. Schroff, which is now hanging in the art museum. The majority of canvasses were painted during the past summer in Oregon and Washington, many of them representing local scenery. It is not often that people have the opportunity to see the colorful bits of nature so near them portrayed by a famous artist and for this rea son if for none other is this exhibit of special value to the students of the campus and the townspeople as well. The clear, fresh, warm days of spring, the hazy, balmy, lazy days of midsummer, and the- glorious, luxuriant, splendor of Indian sum mer are depicted with a warmness of color, and a mellowness of tone that is nothing short of inspiring. His marines are invigorating and refreshing in their brightness of color. People who have seen the collection once go again and again. His foreign studies are by no means inferior to his later works, in fact they make up some of the most interesting parts of the col lection. The exhibition will be up all next week and University and townspeo ple are welcome to visit it. Preston & Hales Manufacturers of Leather Gobds DEALERS IN' PAINTS, OILS AND WALLPAPERS SCRIBES AND LAWYERS MEET THIS AFTERNOON Sports Writers’ Increase Worries Legalists The cohorts of free speech and the minions of the law will lock in combat on the men’s gymnasium floor at 2:30 this afternoon. The barristers suffered a slight attack of cold-feetitis at a late hour and the game was almost cancelled, but the difficulties have been iron ed out and the contest is definitely on. To settle a technical point, the outfit from the Journalism build ing will be known as the “Sports Writers” instead of the “Journa lists.” The lawyers are reported to be greatly disturbed over the rumor that several late additions have been made to the sport staff. The contention over the status of Sam Wilderman was settled by the latter taking a hurried trip to Portland last night. Both sides Alphonsed and Gastoned each other all over the lot, as each manager insisted that Wilderman play with the opposition. They finally comp romised by deciding that he play 20 minutes for each team, so as to give both aggregations a whack at him. His unfortunate, but well timed, departure has frustrated this arrangement, however. “My boys are in great shape, and I don’t see how they can possibly lose,” said Coach Kelly, of the law yers, yesterday. “Charley Jost wanted to remain in Eugene for this contest, but I figured he could help the varsity more than he could us.” The manager of the undefeated sports writers could not be located at a. late hour last night, but he is thought to be holding his ball hounds in leash near Springfield, Klever Kampus Kicks HKSSsSi ._ for Kute Kollege Kutups Ease your toe into a pair of our Klever novelty shoes and you will admit they sure do look Kute.

Unitarianism Faces the Facts A RELIGION FOR THE MODERN-MINDED A RELIGION FOR THOSE WHO LIVE IN THE UNIVERSE REVEALED TO US BY SCIENCE The next religious lecture by the Rev. Frank Fay Eddy on “Unitarian Interpretations,’’ will be given at the Unitarian Church next Sunday Morning at 10:45 o’clock on “Unitarianism and Science*’ A Question Class Follows the Address LEOTA BIGGS WILL BE THE SOLOIST UNITARIANISM NOT ONLY ACCEPTS EVOLUTION BUT INTERPRETS IT EDITORIAL Man is incurably curious. Likewise bo is incurably imaginative. Because he was curious, inquisitive, lie discovered certain invariable relationships of t’aotp. So ho i made himself an organization of knowledgo j wo call science. Because ho was imaginative j ho wandered afar from his scientific fact world, made poems, a dream world of art and used both poetry and art to fashion for himself religion. All religious dogmas, ideas of deity, sanc tified scriptures, and especially religious in stitutions or churches are based not on the facts, of' very slightly on tho facts, discov- j ered by curious man slowly creating his \ science. They are based on his imaginative ! dreams. ! As a result, science ceems always to be tearing down man’s cherished altars of re ligious faith. Indeed Science is always doing that, must do that. But the imaginative im pulse, aided by the speculative power which comes with civilization and philosophy, clothes again faith in a now garment and worships at a new altar. I It is only jn very recent times, as history is measured, that men have even attempted to think scientifically about religion. Until within the last two hundred years, not even a few dared attempt the scientific study of religion. Now Unitarianism is a bold experiment made by a very small but highly intelligent group of men and women who have taken tho principle that the human reason is the final authority in religion. A Unitarian therefore regards his faith from a distinc tively different point of view from that of orthodox Christians. To bring out tho re ligious interpretation of scientific know ledgo will bo the aim of the address adver tised in the adjoi*iing columns on « “Unitarianism and Science” I
