Simplicity, Plain Phrasing
In all Church Songs
The simple obvious themes, child
like expressions and repetitions,
coupled with the emotional arousal
from the musical accompaniment,
are the outstanding characteristics
of hymns, as given by Kimball
Young, professor of psychology and
sociology in his article on “The
Psychology of Hymns,” recently
published in the Journal of Abnor
mal and Social Psychology.
Music aids Spiritual Growth
“In the actual singing of hymns
in a group,” Mr. Young says, “there
is much shoulder to shoulder move
ment, swaying of bodies in unison
with the music, much of the crowd
situation from which an intense re
ligious expression is born.” Be
ligion furnishes us, as do art and
invention, for that matter, oppor
tunity for integration of personality
trends; emotions and instinctive
drives which might otherwise be
left ragged and loose in one’s de
velopment.”
“Boligion affords one a means of
taking up much emotional slack,”
Mr. Young adds later in his article,
“which otherwise might find its
outlet in anti-social conduct or, per
haps neurosis.” 1
Subjects of Hymns Described
The musical accompaniment and
the word content and meaning, are
the two features of the use of
hymns which Mr. Young has found
evident. In order to discover the
content of typical Protestant hymns,
nearly 3000 were examined and
classified. In these hymns, the
simplicity, plain phrasing, and fre
quent repetition of keynotes, were
noticed. Nearly all of them dealt
with the sinner in the presence of
God, the contrast of wickedness and
righteousness, the devil and his
temptations, and the repentant and
his social relationships.
Attitudes Shown
“Throughout all these hymns,”
Mr. Young concludes the article,
“an examination of their content
reveals a number of different atti
tudes exposed. The majority, 57
per cent, deal with infantile return,
meaning tho belief in the return to
God, and future reward 16 per cent
are concerned with sinfulness and
attendant redemption and purifi
cation. Exaltation, associated with
contemplated futures and redemp
tion, is found in eight per cent,
comparable distribution of strugglo
and inferiority foelings in about
seven and eight per coat of them.”

Hut at what expensef Instead of
tho responsible rule of a majority,
there is substituted the irrosponsi
ble rule of a single man, who, drunk
with the excess of power, makes
an easy transition -to the despot.
The absolute subjection of the in
dividual to the state, and this the
will of a single man, is a condition
which we do not contemplate with
equanimity. Such a recourse is a
tacit admission of the failure of
the parliamentary system under the
gruelling demands of highly-com
plex political organization, and it,
moreover, strikes a staggering blow
at the roots of democracy. When
we consider in addition the Tjnited
States, once the bulwark of per
sonal freedom, being turned . by
law-making, crusading fiends into
a place where all individual con
duct is standardized into a dull and
colorless uniformity, then we indeed
must breathe a prayer for what
seems to be the logical conclusion
of democracy even when it does
muddle through.
# # *
Liberty and democracy — two
words much misused, frequently de
graded into shibboleths, too often
uncritically accepted as the dogmas
of politics—are yet each connota
tive of a very real and vital neces
sity to good life in a society. They
are inseparable—the one is but the
socialization of the other. The
fight to retain them in this highly
organized and extremely sensitive
industrial age, in these days of dol
lar-worship and mediocrity-deifica
tion becomes increasingly severe
and although our political ideas
may need some readjustments, it
would be unspeakable folly to de
stroy the gTain in order to save the
chaff.

is received. However, true team
work is what each center strives
for. Ellean Fargher, as running
center, showed how forwards and
guards are united by the co-opera
tion of the running center.
Although the forward is superior
to the other members of the basket
ball team, according to Esther Har
dy, who represented the forward,
she is only the means to an end.
Toam work is the real aim.
Miss Butler Portrays Guard
Arlene Butler drew an analogy
between the guard and a pair of
suspenders. There are two on each
side. Each is dependent on the
other. If ono falls down the other
doesn’t work to its highest effici-!
ency, and in the moment of sus
pense the question is whother it
won’t hold or it will, stated Miss
Butler.
Miss Florence Alden, professor of
the physical education department,
offered a toast to all of the first
team members who were present,
sml to all the second, third, fourth,
uid other team members who came
out and played with just as much
spirit and good fellowship through
out the season.

Dr. H.R. Taylor
Gives Stanford
Entrance Exam
Oregon Students Desire to
Attend Southern
University
i Dr. H. E. Taylor of the psychol
ogy department gave the Stanford
| University psychological entrance
examinations to 31 people, at Lin
; coin High School, in Portland,
March 1. Stanford limits its num
ber of undergraduate students, and
part of the method of selection is
the taking of psychological examin
ations. To spare the expense of the
prospective student going down to
Palo Alto, and then possibly being
barred from the southen institution,
these entrance examinations Ipre
given in a largo number of centers.
There are two of thejc centers in
Oregon, Eugene and Portland.
Most of those who took the ex
aminations were Portland high
school students, but there were sev
eral high school students from out
of town. Two from the University
of Oregon, several from Eeed col
lege, and one from the University
of Washington took the test. There
were a few more girls who took the
test, than boys, in spite of the fact
that it. is more difficult for a girl
to enter Stanford than for a boy.
The Thorndike college entrance
examination for high school gradu
ates was the examination given. It
consists of three main parts, pre
ceded by a 15-minute practice ex
ercise, which gives the person tak
ing the test an idea of what is ex
pected of him in the succeeding
tests.
Dr. Taylor said that the first part
comprises nine tests, 45 minutes of
working time being allowed. The
second part consists of eight tests,
and 50 minutes of working time is
allotted. The third and last part
consists of six tests for which one
hour is allowed.
“Almost three times as many at
tempts to sample the different ca
pacities of an individual are made
in the Thorndike test as in the tests
riven to freshmen at the University
>f Oregon,” said Dr. Taylor. “Some
>f the Thorndike tests are shorter
than those used here, and thus, all
ire not so thorough. The actual
:esting time is almost twice as long
is the time given here. Thus our
freshman test • makes a somewhat
fuller sample of the capacities it
Iocs measure, since the Thorndike
nvolves not quite twice as much
vorking time.
“The Thorndike is probably the
nost difficult of any of the examin
itions commonly given for college i
intrance; and it also is the most
•arefully standardized and reliable
instrument for that purpose. The
chief defects are the cost of the
blanks themselves, the high cost of
scoring so many tests, and many are
difficult to score, and the long time
taken to give the examination.”
f Physical Education
Department to Give
Exhibition Friday
The exhibition of work done in
the physical education department
during the last two terms which will
be given at eight o’clock Friday,
March 12, will be the first demon
i stration given since the old type of
igymnasium work was abandoned.
Several numbers will be presented,
but they are all short and the pro
gram will be over before ten p. m.
No seats are reserved, and everyone
is welcome.
The program will open with the
entrance march of all classes. Over
(100 girls will take part in this. Af
ter this a representative gymnasi
um lesson will be given by the fresh
men and sophomore major students.
Folk dancing will be done by a
large group of sophomores. Stu
dents taking individual gymnasium,
work will demonstrate their type of
class work and sophomores who
elected interpretative dancing will
show the fundamentals of dancing
and present their original dance
problems.
Because of the great interest
shown this term, fencing will be
demonstrated for the first time
since it has been taught in the
women’s department.
Sophomore students will demon
strate clogging, followed by “The
Georgian Male Quartet,” another
clog dance given by four senior
major students.
Fifty freshmen and 50 sopho
mores will demonstrate proficiency
tests, senior majors will give an In
dian club drill, freshmen majors
will do an English sword dance, and
junior majors will give a valse and
do various feats on the apparatus.
Several hundred freshmen will take
part in the simple mass games.
The freshmen and junior first
basketball teams will close the ex
hibition with a basketball game.
Class to be Hostess
