T.C. looked like “Napoleon’s re treat from Russia.” Your editor be lieves that military training should not be compulsory, but he now be lieves that Colonel Sinclair has de veloped a very capable and a very loyal “array.” So it’s congratula tions to you, Colonel. * » » Your editor has regretted that the Dyment affair has not been cleared tip through these columns. It is the opinion of the writer that if all the facts in tho ease were known, tho whole affair would appear the re sult of a long chain of unfortunate circumstances in which one man Buffered unduly but, perhaps, to a degree, unavoidably. Apparently all the facts were not to bo obtained, and rather than publish a few, tho Emerald has given but practically none. It is a matter of regret that the Emerald could not have had tho opportunity to bo of gTeator sorvice in this matter. • • • The Emerald regrots that the va rious student body officers havo not received a wider appreciation of their activities in tho student daily. Their work throughout the year was splendid, worthy of more student attention and approval than has been given theso peoplo. • • • The writor is sorry that the Em erald has not given moro attention to tho “ collegiate ” aspects of a University education — the books, the concerts, the exhibitions, tho story contests, and the many other phases of a liberal education. • • • Turning now to the other eido of the equation—the Emorald is happy to recall that it did not take itself too seriously; glad to think that it started the agitation that resulted in tho new “Oregon Webfoot” mag azine; and pleased to feel that it played a part in the student ques tionnaire and in the undergraduate report on university conditions. The Emerald remembers with pleasure that it has for the most part avoid ed personalities, and that harsh comment usually remained out of print. * * * To the many members of the Em erald staff, University faculty and administrative offices, the staff of the school of journalism, and to the many students in the Univetsiry, articularly to those whose names are signed to the Undergraduate Report, tho writer wishes to express his ap preciation for their generous assist ance and many courtesies of the past year. These months have been pleasant, exceedingly so. The mo ment, perhaps, is one of reflection and regret, with the year over; yet the writer is quite willing to turn over the editorial keys to liis suc cessor, knowing as he does, that the Emorald will bo in capable hands. EDWARD MILLER. Upon the Loss Of Four Instructors Within tho past few weeks tho Em erald has carried news stories to tho effect that a number of faculty mombers have tendered their resig nations to tako positions in ntltar institutions. Peter Crockatt,, of tho economics deparment has accepted a position at tho University of South ern California at Los Angeles; Kim ball Young of the sociology and psy chology departments will go to the Univorsity of Wisconsin as associate professor in one of tho strongest sociology departments in the foun try. Glenn Hoover of the economics department will take a position at Mills College, Oakland, and Alta Cooney Hoover will becomo a mem ber of the English faculty at the samo institution. It is to bo regretted that these instructors aro loaving. They have been among tho foremost of the younger generation of faculty mem bers on the eampus, and havo been particularly active in the stimula tion of student interest in their re spective subjects. They have not given pipe courses. Indeod, some of them have carried the reputation of being hard taskmasters, but never theless, they have been sought out by students who havo desired fresh and original thought and interpre tation in their various fields.. -H. X. K. Commun ications ^ ’/A''.', M _ To tlio Editor As an alumnus, class of 1915, who has also taught in the University for nine years, before I go on to another institution I wish to com mend you and the committee on in tellectual activity for what I believe to be a new, healthy spirit of study and purpose with all duo respect to the “good old times.” Even in spite of the frequent calls upon the loyalty of students to pre vent certain adverse moves through out the state in matters of univer sity appropriation, in 1912 and 1914, the proportion of students seriously minded about broader university educational affairs was, I believe, considerably loss than today. I won’t take tho time to analyzo causes for these changes. I only hope they are not temporary and that these same representatives of the “Youth Movement” will not let the “worldly” interests crowd out time to keep up when they become alumni. At, to the assertion pf any con siderable share of the student par ticipation in the management and policy of the University in ivg: rd to educational curriculum, T “hao mo doots.” Suggestions, discus sions, even an advisory arrangement, may be sound but the centralization of responsibility still remains a necessity. That depends a good deal on your view of who are the owners of the University, and who the patrons are. Are the owners j the taxpayers exclusively? Are the students the only patrons? ! The questions in this University aro mainly reducible to economics and taxation. These, coupled with the history and trnditious of edu 1 cation in this state, probably a good deal unsound, have rendered some faculty discussion futile. I wish you success, believe the signs are hopeful and that you have j done a good piece of work. In our | days we would not have known ! what it was all about. PETER C. CROCKATT. Junior Class Disposes Of Funds at Meeting Awards of $200 to the University to be set aside for upkeep and im provements of mill-race bleachers, and $25 to the Fine Arts building were made by the junior class in their final meeting of the year yesterday. The total of the class treasury is estimated at $1100, is the statement made by Ward Cook, retiring treasurer. Tk SEVEN k SEERS “HERE, CLIFF! COME, CLIFF!” CRIED THE CHIP-TOSSER, AS HE CALLED HIS OPPONENT’S BLUFF. * • * “KAY” SHORT, 18, SEEKS MILLION HEART BALM By Collins Elkins, Special Correspondent EUGENE, OREGON, May 28.— (Special).—Snit for $1,000,000, for alleged breach of promise was filed yesterday by Sherman S. Smith, shyster attorney for Miss Kathryn Sterling Short, eighteen and pretty, against Harold Jordan Brumfield, alleged ball club manager. Miss Short, a former Portland society girl, avers that she met Brumfield while both were attending the Beavers’ Convention at Canby in 1874. It is said to have been a case of love at first sight. Since that time, Brumfield and the Short girl have been constantly at church social get-to-gethers, but always un der the chaperonage of Miss Short’s great-aunt. Attorney Smith pro duced letters which tended to sup port Miss Short’s statements. They are said to have been written by Brumfield during the period that intervened between their first meeting and the Spring of 1911. Among the missives all ardent in tone, included in the batch in At torney Smith’s possession, are: I. W. W. Clubhouse, Butte, Mont., June 6, 1905 "Hello My Little Pal Girl: How’s everything? DADDY.” “I gave all up for love,” Miss Short is quoted as saying—“my home, my friends and my social position in Portland. Of course, I knew that ‘Brum’ (she explained with a wistful little smile, that that was her pet name for Mr. Brum field), of course, I knew that he was married. In fact, he has been mar ried three times since I first met him. But after all, what is mar riage? Do you not feel that it is but a foolish relic of the Victorian Age when women were but little better than slaves? Is our love any more sacred because some minister uttered a few words over us? Brum has ruined my life and he has got to pay and pay big. I’ll get that crook if it’s the last thing I ever do.” Called to the stand by Miss Short’s lawyer, the owner of the Crimson Wheeled Centaur presented an air of indifference. “Mr. Brumfield, do you remem ber ever having been in Walla Walla?” he was asked. Answer—“No! ” Q—“What were your relations with Miss Short during the years 1892 to 1898?” A—“My uncle and his wife.” Q—-“Do you think that that is a funny thing to say, Mr. Brumfield?” A—“It’s as funny as anything you’ve said this afternoon.” Q—“Where were you the night of April 20, 1921?” A—“You must guess.” Q—“Long Beach?” A—“Nopey, nopey—guess again.” Q—“Aw come on now, Mr. Brum field, be a sport and tell us where you were. We all want to know. Don’t we boys?” Hearings will be resumed today in the pottery department, eighth floor, at the Co-op. There was a young man from Blue River, Took a jane for a ride in hie flivver, The result of the spree, Made them hit a large tree, And fractured the fair lady’s livver. TA, TILL NEXT TERM.
