Of Interest to
All Seniors
The University of Washington
Daily comments approvingly on the
disposal of senior class funds in a
manner that will be of genuine as
sistance to the University. Per
haps Oregon seniors will be inspired
to a similar action.
Rally to the Support
Nothing concrete and tangible,
on the campus, is to bo left to tho
University this year by the men and
women who aro to bo graduated in
Juno. This year thero will be no
sun dial; no plate glass window; no
stone bench graven with numerals;
no row of trees; no pillar of Mem
orial arch. I
By none of these, tho usual and j
accustomed type of things, is the
class of 1926 to bo remembered. In
stead, the Washingtonians who are
to leave via 'Commencement plat
form aspire to pay tribute to Alma
Mater by one hundred per cent
membership in tho Washington
Alumni association.
In this departure the soniors plan
something more than a gesture;
something more than a changeless
pillar or bench to take a passive
part in the decoration of tho cam
pus. That it indeed may be a pillar
is their aim; but it is to be a pillar
of that staunch support beyond the
academic walls of which the Uni
versity is now in such dire need.
To tho undergraduate tho work
and importance of the Alumni asso
ciation not always is fully apparent.
Yet it is correct to say that, lack
ing its support, tho Univorsity could
not continue on its prosont basis.
This association affords tho bind
ing links and the working medium
for that scattered University of
Washington—greater in numbers
than tho University upon the cam
pus—which has gone on into outside
life.
This groator University of Wash
ington is no longer in position to
tnko part in campus pleasures; to
onthuso over this or tho other cam
pus ovent. It cannot join, baro
headeil, in tho tribute of “Alma
Matre. ” It cannot mouth the mag
ic words, “working for Washing
ton,” as they are popular hero.
Yet it is this greater Washington
which is making possible the pres
ence of 5,555 students hero this
Bpring. It is this group of dovotod
men and women who themselves
and through their representatives
drove on to win tho bitter strug
gle in tho Legislature fast fall. It
is this group, keeping a ceaseless
watch, which is mobilizing and man
ning the defense now. It is this
group, constantly gaining in posi
tion and influence, which will bo
in future ns now the mightiest cham
pion of the University .
By setting as its goat one hundred
per cent membership in tho Alumni
association, the class of ’26 is sow
ing the seed for a memorial that
cau grow and flower increasingly
with the years.
In this pledge of loyalty is the
realest tribute to Washington.
The Science of
Art Criticism
A recent issue of the Spectator,
weekly journal of comment pub
lished in Portland edited by Hugh
Hume contributes an interesting
article on the “Science of Art Crit
icism.” The Emerald is taking the
liberty of reprinting the article.
The Science of Art Criticism
In a recent issue, the ably con
ducted Emerald, published for and
by the students at the University
of Oregon, said that hereafter it
would “carry no criticisms of mu
sical and dramatic productions that
appear in any connection with tlio
University.” That is an interest
ing announcement, because by youth
the science of criticizing is pursued
much more in ' ■ -!v than is
the art of furnishing matter for
criticism. To many who assidu
ously practice it, criticism is con
sidered an art, but it is really a
science. Music, paintings, the dra
ma, and literature are placed among
the arts, because they are subject
to no definitive rules or regulations.
But as criticism is a science, with
rules and methods clearly defined,
it can not bo literature; and as it
is not literature, it can not be an
art.
To be an artist in, for instance,
literature, all one needs are pencil
and paper, and imagination and
ability to express it. It is quite
easy; indeed, so easy that many
persons who, with careful training
as apprentices might achieve some
thing useful in tho ditcli-digging or
track-laying line, start writing, and
after years devoted to the art, never
become more than mere literatours.
On the other hand, criticism of the
arts is not easy at all, although wo
find everybody setting up as a
critic. As criticism is one of the
most exacting of sciences, one must
devote a life-time to its study be
fore exhausting its meroly elemen
tary principles; and so fascinating
and enthralling is the work of re
search and investigation, that
hardly a single person who has ser
iously taken it up has ever aban
doned his labors as a student to
assume the obligations of a critic.
It will be readily admitted by all
but tho critics, that those who write
criticisms must know all about the
thing criticized, for the critic is not
only a scientist but a teacher.
Take music, for instance:
The critic who would practice his
profession on music, must know all
about music—its history, its liter
ature, its instruments, tho methods
and manner of its production, its
expressions, suppressions, and im
pressions. And in writing his crit
icism—which is comparison, elucida
tion, interpretation, and instruction
—ho must scientifically follow cer
tain clear and well-defined rules
and laws that are ns unalterable as
the enactments of the Modes and
Persians.
Those things the editor of the
Emerald knows when ho tells us he
will print no more criticisms of
dramatic and musical performances
at the University, but there is one
thing lie did not know when ho add
ed the following to his announce
ment:
‘‘For a number of years the Em
erald has endeavored to provido
honest criticism of dramatic and
musical productions of professional
and amateur talent, and has suc
ceeded only in ono sense—that no
one has been pleased.”
The critics were pleased, and if
that is not the solo object of tho
criticism of the arts, I should liko
to know what it is.

COMMUNICATION
To tho Emerald:
The following statement may cor
rect a rather widespread misunder
standing on tho campus. At the
present timo there is in the Uni
versity rather more than the usual
amount of sickness for this time of
year. The type of grippe that is
prevalent now seems to have a spec
ial predilection for the gastro-intes
tinal tract. That this is highly in
fectious, although not ’extremely
severe* is shown by the way in which
rather large numbers in different
living groups have been affected.
A few students have wrongly at
tributed their trouble to the food
eaten at the campus luncheon. There
is absolutely no reason to believe
that this food was spoiled, and inas
much as this trouble was started be
fore the luncheon and in many cases
began two or more days after the
luncheon, it is evident that some
thing else is the cause. In fact
two students were so severely at
tacked that they went home before
junior week-end and one of these
girls was told by her local physici
an that he had many other cases
of the same sort. Undoubtedly the
cold weather of Friday and Saturday
when many were inactive for hours
and became quite chilly, aggravated
this condition. On tho other hand,
so 'far as I know there were no
serious effects of the freshman mix
though we rather expected some
trouble.
That this condition though ex
tremely annoying is not serious, is
shown by the fact that this has been
one of the lightest weeks for the
University infirmary, and for a
while there was only one patient.

The Lay of the
Sardine Box
By MARY KESSI
Go button your boots with a tiger’s tail;
Comb down your golden hair;
And live for a week upon bubble and squeak
On the steps of a winding stair.
And if you ever feel like a Conger eel,
Or as hard as an old split pea,
Just lift the lid, like the hedgehog did,
And come and listen to me:
It happened one day when the sun was high
And the wind blew fresh and free,
And a bottle-nosed whale was lunching
on shale
And washing it down with the sea.
It was close by the edge of a lonely stream
That foamed on a desolate strand,
And a lady fair was sitting there,
And a box was in her hand.
She lifted the box and gave it a shake,
And smiled when she found it was full;
She played on a fife with the ed&e of a
knife, J
Keeping time with a three-foot rule.
And this was the song that the lady sang:
“Come open this box for me!
For I love sardines, when they’re boiled
with beans,
And mixed with the sands of the sea.!’’
Now the sound of her voice, it was sweet
to hear,
And was wafted o’er many a wave,
Till at last it fell, like a siren’s spell,
On the heart of a merman brave.
He listened awhile, and then smiled a
smile
As he looked at himself in the glass.
And dressed with all speed in an ulster of
weed
And trousers of tangle and grass.
He came to where the lady sat.
And heard what she’d got to say;
But when he learned the dish was sar
dine-fish,
He bolted straight away.
For his brother-in-law was of kin to the
skate.
And the skate is of high degree,
And as everyone knows ’tis perfectly true
Sardines are the cousins of he.
He frowned as he dived straight down
To the depths of the ocean green,
And his trousers he tore, and his ulster,
and swore
That they'd never again be seen.
But the lady sang on as she'd sung before:
“Come open this box for me 1 ~
For I love sardines when they’re boiled
with beans,
And mixed with the sands of the sea!’’
She sang the same, but as nobody came,
She thought it was well to try;
So down on the rocks she hammered the
box,
And then she began to cry:
“Oh, I love sardines when they’re boiled
with beans
And mixed with the sands of the sea!
I’m dying for some! Won’t somebody come
And open this box for me?’’
Now, all alone close under a stone,
A lobster was lying asleep.
At the sound of her cries, he opened his
Ana picked himself up for a peep.
He could open that box without any
knocks.
So he came and offered his claw.
At the sight of the beast, her misery ceased,
And she asked for a shake of his paw.
He gave her his claw, on that desolate
strand,
t But he never would let her go.
“My lady,” said he, "you'll come with me
To the regions down below 1”
He took that lady straight away
To the depths of the ocean blue;
And whatever became of that beautiful
dame
Nobody ever knew.
But some folks say, on the first of May
She is seen with a glass in her hand;
And that she was sold to the merman bold
Who came to that desolate strand.
And every night, when the moon shines
bright,
The ghost of that lady is seen,
All dressed at her need in an ulster of
weed.
And her hair is a bright sea-green.
And the ghost of a great big sardine box
Goes stalking along the shore.
And the ghosts of little sardine-fish
Go rollicking on before.
And fishermen hear the sound of knocks,
And, "Come open this box for me!
For I love sardines when they're boiled
with beans
And mixed with the sands of the sea!’’
MORAL:
Now ladies all, both short and tall.
Who love to eat sardines,
If you ever eat any, don't let it be many,
And never with sand and beans.
