HISTORY PROFESSOR SELECTS
BEST BIOGRAPHIES OF 1925
Poet, Author, King and Labor Leader Are Subjects;
‘Brigham Young’ of Value to Sociologists
Asked to select a few of the
outstanding biographies, published
in 1925, Dr. Andrew Fish, assistant
professor of history, said that one
of the most important was “The
Life of Keats” by Amy Lowell.
“It is the life of a great poet
by a poet,” Dr. Fish said. Miss
Lowell was well-equipped to write
a life of Keats. Her book is a re
sult of long work and exhaustive
study, and she handled the subject
thoroughly.
“Seventy Years of Life and La
bor,” the autobiography of Samuel
Gompers, for many years the presi
dent of the American Federation
of Labor, is considered one of the
most significant works of the years
because of Gompers’ long connec
tion with the organized labor move
ment. The book is the record of
his substantial success in the fight
for recognition of the unions, and
its .political and social significance
is great.
“ ‘Anatole France at Home,’ by
Jean Jacques Brousson, has made
quite a stir. This is not the usual
eulogy, but a word picture of the
man himself, as he lived, with some
of his shortcomings included. It
reads like a biography rather than
a series of pictures of France in dif
ferent moods. France, as he is pic
tured by Brousson, who was his
secretary, will hardly be selected
as a hero by conservative reading
circles.
“The official royal historian, Sir
Sidney Lee, has not dared to take
too much liberty in the presenta
tion of kingly character in ‘King
Edward VII, a Biography.’ It is
an interesting, conservative w6rk,
written from the royal viewpoint.
Of course, you know, we are too
close to the life of King Edward
for anyone to be really accurate in
the description of his personal life.
“We know King Edward was
not a deep thinker, not a student,
not a scholar, but was a man of the
world who enjoyed the good things
of life. The royal biographer could
not play up these facts. Neither
does he give the part which King
Edward played in the alliances
made before the war—especially the
entente between Great Britain and
France. The full story does not
appear. I am afraid that for a
real picture of King Edward, we
will have to wait awhile.
“ ‘ Brigham Young,’ by M. B.
Werner, is an interesting work of
particular value to the sociologists.”

Houston did considerable work on
the Emerald while attending the
University and was a member of
Theta Sigma Phi, national journal
ism fraternity.
Mrs. O. V. Meyers of Medford

gene February 19 and 20
Dr. John Henry Nash, eminent

Gravy Grabbers Establish Tong
‘Slinga Bulla’ Added to
List of Useless Cam
pus Organizations
Handshaking and bull throwing
have long been favorite sports but
never have they received such stim
ulus as recently, when all the
would-be arm wavers, politicians
and also rans got together and be
stowed the honor of another
organization upon themselves.
The new organization is “Slinga
Bulla” and was established as a re
sult of the banding together of
several well known non-essentials
of the bull throwing and self help
honor groups.
Fred Martin was unanimously
voted president of the organization,
and Jim Johnson, has been elected
vice-president. Both of these men
are masters of thoiV crate and the
society expects much from them.
Wilbur Wester holds tho high office
of “Keeper of tho Bull and Master
of Ceremonies.”
At the last meeting of the group
the most important item in the or
der of business was the selection of
an emblem that may be prominetnly
displayed upon . the chests of tho
members. Tho emblem selected was
designed by one of the members,
Bob McCabe and is a small golden
shovel with the letters “G. G.” en
graved upon the front. Mr. Mc
Cabe explains tho pin as an em
blem of free speech and powers of
persuasion.
Obak’s Advice to
Smokers
No it isn’t fishing time, but say,
fellows, try some Flycasters to
bacco. It’s a mixturo and say, it’s
sure hot stuff. Any old pipe is a
good one when you use Flycasters.
Ask Bill to give you all of tho
Patronize Eme

pus.
dope, also enough to fill your pipe.
Ask Jimmie Leake.
• • •
“Say, what a whale of a differ
ence a few cents make,” is just as
valuable in buying pipes as it is in
buying cigarettes. You can get a
two-bit or a seven dollar one, but
they won’t taste the same. Obak
has the most complete display of
pipes—with a special make and
brand for every college studnt. Ask
Joe Bates.
•We understand that, a few of tho
boys are addicts to the chewing to
bacco habit. Harold Brumfield rel
ishes tho weed and is a firm believer
in it. There’s many species but ho
has tried them all and endorses
Obak’s brands.
* • •
Be ever mindful of the fact that
Obak’s tables aro “liotsy totsy”
and when you aren’t out with your
“Sleepy Time Gal” they are at
your disposal. Obak’s place has
ever been for a place where “mien
aro men,” and that’s what gives it
collegiate atmosphere.
