Editorial
(Continued from page one)
heaven we won’t have to listen to
that set of opinions any longer!”
Tor today, as you know, is the last
regular Emerald of the year 1925-26.
* « •
In reviewing the past year your
editor finds several things ho is
lorry for, and several things which
bring a more pleasant frame of
mind.
* » *
Your editor has regretted that last
December he said the Oregon R.O.
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..

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.

“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.
