Retrospection and Prospection FIFTY years of effort is being commemorated this week. The “birth of a great idea midst humble circumstances, its early struggles, its remarkable development—is be ing recorded, and due honor is be ing paid to those who fostered it. It is necessarily difficult for us to visualize the institution as it was when it first opened its doors. The University to us has ever been what it is now. Wo are able to rec ognize only the natural development and progress. We know, of course, that there has been a struggle, and we do appreciate the work and ef forts of the pioneers. Tho story of the first fifty yeays has been told and retold. It is worth retelling many times, this story of faith in an ideal. But now we must look ahead. / Firmly founded, tho University un der new and experienced leader ship, need have none of tho fears that troubled tlioso inspired few whose dream has been surpassed by far. The youthful univorsity is no more. In its place is tho mature in stitution, at tho point where it is best fitted to do its greatest work. It is ahead that our work lies. What will the centennial of tho institu tion record? There will bo natural development —we must progress with tho times. There will also bo tho imprint of en lightened leadership, we hope, and the mark of groat intellectual de velopment, fostered by teachers and students and the stato at large. We face many problems, amon^ which tho material is not to be alighted. We must not dream too long of extension of research with out first remembering that, as a state institution, wo must first in spire the stato at largo as we our selves are inspired. We have the problems of expan sion of curricula, raising of stan dards and the care of tho studont according to individual talonts and abilities. Therd is indeed much to be done, and in all our efforts tho state must be considered as well as our institu tion. This is not a new principle in education but, as Ur. Little admir ably expounded, it is a mattor that cannot be disregarded when state universities reach the point of de velopment where we now stand. It will take firm guidance to bring to fruition the hopes that are held for the university. It will tako enlightenment, nnd financial support on the part of tho stato at largo and, as a prerequisite, accomplishment on the part of those who are the body and spirit of the institution. The centennial year, we hope, will find the University continuing the progress that has characterized its first fifty years. Thoughts on Inaugura tions and Birthdays WE never thought that an in auguration could be so color ful. In a somber way it had as much color as a football game. Silver hair contrasted strikingly with the black of the gowns. Why does the birthday of an in stitution call forth reminiscences while that of an individual rarely does so, in anything like so great a measure. Our University is fifty years old. It was founded just with in the memory of our old men. Such a birthday is a time for the testi mony of living witnesses. Perhaps when the University is five hundred years old men will look to the future rather than to the past. It is not yet an institution—a habit of thought. Men can still remember the days when there was no uni versity. Just as the body of a man is said to be renewed every seven years, so a university is renewed every year by tho coming of the freshmen and the passing of tho seniors. In a very I real sense wo of Oregon have had I many births sinco 187C. Tho inaug uration of a prosidont is tho incor poration into the University body of -—may we say—a freshly consecrat ed soul or will. We wero treated to the spectacle of universities being represented by their presidents and other individ uals instead of by their football teams. We find a community of in terest with other schools which wo would never think existed merely from our football acquaintance. An niversaries are exceedingly valu able ns change from more hostile j meetings. Speakers nowadays do not speak to mere paltry thousands. They speak to a potential nudienco of | hundreds of thousands. The very uncertainty of the number is in triguing. How this affects a speaker is interesting material for specula tion. His words may bo less pro vincial in their appeal but it un doubtedly makes him more careful of what he says. • * • The cap and gown has become a little worn article of academic dross. We would suggest that its use bo extended but for tho fact that we think that it might to a certain dogreo place another bar rier between student and teacher. Besides, we might as well,tell you something that isn’t a secret any how—tho cap and gown, like the dress suit, is so often rented for the occusion. An inauguration is decid edly an occasion. Moroni Olson Players To Present ‘‘Dear Brat ns' At Heilig, Wednesday “Outward Bound," l>y Sutton Vane, Is Scheduled for Company on January 26, 1927 “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, » But in ourselves, that we arc un derlings.” Shakespeare, who wrote these liars, meant that no ono is limited to one chance in life. He may try again if ho wishes. A couple of centuries later Sir James Barrie read the lines and made them the theme for his whim sical play, “Dear Brutus,” which will be presented by tho Moroni Olsen players at the Heilig theater, October 20, as the first of the two productions of their season here. “Dear Brutus” is a typical Barrie play, which means that it is some thing very different from the or dinary run of plays. The idea of a second chance for every man is worked out in the delightful manner that is Barrie’s chief appeal. The second of the two plays, “Outward Bound,” Sutton Vane’s imaginative presentation of Death, will be given January 26. It is a play full of dramatic scenes that formerly produced a sensation in London and New York. Moroni Olsen, who plays the lead in these productions, has created a name for himself in the theatrical world by fathering the First Circuit Kepertory Company, which last year j ; playoil to uioro than 150,000 people in Oregon, Washington, Montana, Utah and Idaho. Janet Young, the leading lady of the company, is an Oregon graduate. 1 He fore joining the Moroni Olsen j players she played in New York at i the head of her own company. Two years ago, Miss Young made her ! first appearance in Eugene, and at that time turned over tho company’s share from the performance to the , “ten million in ten years” gift cam ! paign, which was then being carried on. Other actors of the company, among whom are Byron Kay Foul ger, Dorothy Adams, Deora Thatch er, Joseph Williams, Gordon Nel son, Harry K. Allen, Donna Jones, Mary Oroke, and Harry Nelson, are well known. The ticket sale for the two pre sentations begins Tuesday, October 19. Tickets may be purchased from Georgia Benson, at the office of the dean of women. Tho plays are being held under tho auspices of the American Asso ciation of University Women, and the proceeds will go towards a schol arship for an Oregon woman. fa Tta SEVEN m SEERS SAID VENUS TO APOLLO: “I’VE WORKED MY ARMS OFF FOR YOU.” Next on the bill is the oeculist song, “Eye vender what’s become 6t Sally.” A Joack First bellhop: Not much business today, I wish Asparagus would drop around?

Bristow, ’10 How is your house sign interpret ing the Homecoming slogan, “Home to Honor Oregon” coming? “Better get busy' for there is a loving cup for the winner that ec lipses any yet on the campus,” so the committee says. W. W. Bristow, ’10, owner of Luekey’s Jewelry store, has pre sented it to the Associated Students. The cup which will be known as the Bristow cup, will rotate from year to year. It will be awarded Satur day night and the winner will be announced at both undergraduate dances. Don Beelar has been show ing it at the various houses on the campus and by tonight will have made the circuit. After the cup has made its tour of the campus it will be on display in the window of Luckey’s Jewelry' store. Dedication (Continued from page one) tracked walls it cries mutely of the j severity of those 50 rain-laahed winters. But its mellowed frame shows too, with its yards and yards of green-clad ivy surfaces, the sof- j tening influence of warm summer | suns and moist, dew-kissed nights. Ml has not been roses with Deady, but it has fared well, and it still clings to an important place in the scholastic life of the campus. Those elders who were intimately connected with the University in its early infancy looked at their cam >pus and congratulated one another. Said they, “We have done every thing in our power. Let those who follow us carry on.” They were right, in the main, and it is not to their discredit that they overlooked such a small matter as the dedica tion of their Deady. It may be that in the serious, disheartening work of gathering grain and hogs and money from the farmers roundabout, in order to make their vision of a fetate university a reality, they were much too occupied ito think of the less important needs of a great pub lic building. Or, mayhap, they simp ly forgot the formal dedication. Whatever the cause may be, it is history that for 50 years Deady has rendered faithful service without ithe aid of a dedication ritual—as devoted to the interests of education vas any of those early future-build ers who erected it. The recent plans for a Semi-Centennial celebration brought to the mind of someone the belated thought that the epoch-mak ing old structure had never been formally dedicated. This condition will be remedied Friday morning at 10 o’clock, when, as a part of the observance of S e m i-Centennial week, Deady hall will be consecrat ed to the service to which it has long been devoted. And who can say, when Deady’s corridors resound with hallow foot' steps of panting professors wending skyward, and clattering heels of sleepy students rushing to eight o ’clocks, that it will not feel a meas ure of triumph that, at last, it has been acclaimed as father of the tribe of university buildings—and that, a few years hence, it may ev en be recognized as father-emeri tus! The program for the dedication Friday follows: 10 o’clock. Dedication of old Deady hall—lecture room, Deaay hall. Honorable Benjamin B. Beek man, ’84, presiding. $ Invocation: Reverend Herbert S.
