Oregon Alumnus
Tells of Student
Tour in Spain
Grace Knopp, ’20, Gives
Account of Study in
Madrid School
Visits Made to Alhambra,
Salamanca, Cordova
“Spanish universities consist of
just one building, there is no cam
pus; classes are noisy and not run
on schedule, and the professors are
invariably late in arriving,” Miss
Grace Knopp, Oregon graduate of
1920, reports on her return to Eu
gene after spending almost a year
traveling and studying in Spain.
Miss Knopp studied literature
and phonetics with El Centro De
Estudios Historicos in Madrid, a
school which offers courses to for
eigners. She also took private les
ons.
Curing the summer, Miss Knopp
toured Spain with the Institute Do
las Espanas and visited many inter
esting places. At each stopping
place, the party was met by a group
of business men who entertained
the sightseers and directed them to
the famous sights of the locality,
she said. She visited the Alham
bra at Granada, and in Cordova
met the curator of the Museum, who
is a rather well known Spanish art
ist.
“The University of Salamanca is
one of the oldest in Spain; and is
housed in a very beautiful build
ing. The old library is now used
as a museum and is exceptionally
interesting,” said Miss Knopp. She
there saw the room of Cervantes,
the author of Don Quixote.
“The public school system of
Spain is not very well developed,
so most of the children of the
wealthier families receive their ed
ucation at private schools,” said
Miss Knopp. “I visited one grade
school near Madrid which was con
sidered very good, and judging by
its equipment, it would compare
with the country schools of the
United States.
“The University of Madrid does
not allow credit to foreigners, but
they may attend classes. This col
lege is housed in an old rambling
building in a disreputable part of
town, and some departments meet in
another section of the city. No
provision is made for laboratory
work. A uniformed official an
nounces the end of each class, as
there are no bells,” she said.
The students are all very young,
especially the women. She reported
that the students smoke in tho
building, and one professor smoked
during class session.
Thirty-four States
Inquire Regarding
Summer School Work
I’rof. P. L. Stetson, director of
the University of Oregon summer
session, say's there have been inquir
ies for the summer work here from
lid states.

ing staff.”
Especial interest is being shown
in Ur. Meanwell’s basketball coach
ing courses, and a large attendance
is expected in the other coaching
courses.

Survey of Springitis on the Campus
Reveals Value to House Picnics
By BUTII COBEY
Ob, spring is here, tra la! and
with it rides in an epidemic of cul
: tivation of gardens, friendships and
I finally, the planting of pins. This
i is not an unusual trend of events
j but is the natural outgrowth ex
1 pected at just this time of year.
It is needless to say that the
Imembers of the freshman class are
j effected to a great degree by this
disease commonly called spring
■ fever. The student after experi
! encing not the proverbial summers
| but the springs of four years past
; are well up on the results that this
! season thrusts upon humanity. Even
one spring term is enough to make
the average collegian look with dis
trust upon another.
It is odd, but this springitis has
the same effect on almost every
youthful college student and even
some of the older fossils. There
-seems to bo a lack of enthusiasm
along intellectual lines, which re
suits in a lack of attendance in
classes. The student realizes that
his courses aren’t being given prop
er attention, but as soon as he
makes his way to the library to
study, it is only a matter of a very
few moments before he and she too
are on the mill race.
After not too many moons, real
ones, not the literal ones, the man,
if he can win her from the “rival,”
will place his pin at her disposal.
Then all that is left is to “surprise”
the dear sisters and brothers with
the announcement. The bans are
published in the engagement column
of the Emerald, otherwise called, in
the fall and winter terms, the soci
ety section.
For the pessimist’s sake might
bo added that not all of these cases
are merely spring romances—show
my pin the way to go home—for
the new girl; but a few do exist
until after wedding bells toll and
the couple can chaperone picnics.
Hulin Writes
Of Class of ’96
In ‘Old Oregon’
First Graduates to Wear
Caps and Gowns Plan
Thirtieth Reunion
The class of 1890 is an historic
class. “In the first place,” says
an article in the latest number of
“Old Oregon”, alumni magazine,
“this class was graduated on the
twentieth anniversary of the Uni
versity of Oregon, the doors of old
Heady hall swinging open for the
reception of students in 187G. The
class of 1890, the largest up to that
date, numbered twenty. Again, it
was the first class to muster cour
age sufficient to introduce the cus
tom of wearing cap and gown.”
Now that class is planning its
thirtieth reunion sometime during
Commencement week. Lester G.
Hulin of the same class is the au
thor of the above quoted article,
in which he gives personal nows of
each of the twenty classmates of
his time. Nineteen of the members
of the class of ’90 are still living.
Accompanying the article is a pic
ture of Dr. Thomas Condon and his
geology class during the year of
1894-5. The picture includes eight
een of the twenty members of the
class of ’90.
Writing of his class, Hulin says,
“Among its members were young
men who, with other students, con
tributed funds with which to pur
chase the first gymnasium equip
ment over used in the University,
and through the generosity of the,
board of regents were permitted to1
install the equipment in the top
story of old Deady hall. It thus
became the nucleus around which
grew the present gymnasium en- !
joyed by the students of today.”

Campus Tennis Courts
To be Scene of Junior
Tournament May 27-29
The first state junior tennis tour
nament will take place on the Uni
versity courts May 27, 28 and 29.
The preliminary work of sending
out entry blanks to high schools
in the state has been taken care
of by majors in the physical educa
tion department who are in charge
of the work.
The provisions of the Eugene Cen
ter Junior Tennis tournament per
mit anyone to enter the event who
had not reached the age of 18 years
before January 1, 1926. This will
allow freshman tennis players ami
any other students who come in
that group to compete. That is
practically the only provision.
The tournament, which is author
ized by the U. A. Lawn Tennis
association, is the first of its kind
ever held in the state, and from
the Small beginning it is hoped to
work it up to a big event. The
list of entries will bo small this
year and probably will not increase
until more interest in the event has
been created.
Visiting teams and players will be
taken care of by living organiza
tions on the campus during the pro
gress of the tournament.

John Landsbury
Recital Charms
Large Audience
Selections Are Chosen for
Personal Reasons, Ad
mits Dean
“I have chosen the selections on
my program from a purely selfish
viewpoint,” said Dean John J.
Landsbury, in the introduction to
his explanatory recital last evening
in the Shoocl of Music auditorium.
The Gavotte in B minor by Bach,
with which the program opened, is
an idealized dance form, transcrib
ed from the original violin version.
Following the Gavotte came the
longest fuge which Bach ever
wrote, that in A minor, the most
difficult number on the program.
It has the elements of unity, con
trast, climax, sheer tone beauty. It
was composed of three individual
tone lines built around a definite
subject, followed by a lengthy
working-out of that subject.
Dean Landsbury played a selec
tion from one of Mozart’s sonatas,
as an encore to the fuge.
The Polonaise in C sharp minor,
which opened the Chopin group, is
less bombastic than the usual pol
onaise, being rather of the refined
type. It has a peculiar kind of end
ing, “as though one of the march
ers had gotten out of step.”
The three etudes on the program
were intended for musical, not tech
nical development, although con
taining many technical difficulties.
The first, number 3 in E major, is
the loveliest in a songful way, “It
might be a Chopin “Song Without
Words,” the pianist said. The sec
ond, number 7 in C major, is
bright, sparkling, and far less inno
cent than the sound would deem to
indicate.
The etude number 12 in C minor
is “a vehicle for almost anything)
of an impetuous nature one wishes
to put into it. It is difficult, when
one is excited, to keep the tempo
down,” said Dean Landsbury. Cho
pin wrote it under the stimulus of
trouble in his native country, Po
land. Grief over her difficulties
impelled him to create, and he com
posed what is sometimes called
“The Revolutionary Etude.”
Reports of University
Conditions to be Sent
The Publications committee of
the University is going to reprint
the student reports on conditions
in the University to be sent to
alumni and others who may be in
terested. The action was taken, be
cause it is considered that the ideas
and criticisms of undergraduates
should be known. The type already
set for the Emerald has been saved
so the story will not have to be
reset.
