VOLUME XXVIII UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1926 NUMBER 16 Interesting Bits On Visitors Doughty Photographer Adjusts His Camera While Bishop Prays Among the thousands who listen ed in on the inaugural program as it was broadcasted from Hayward •field Monday morning, was H. C. Hall, father of President Arnold Hennett Hall. At least Hr. Hall hopes so, for he wired his father to tune in on the program with his radio. Mr. Hall is at present living in Indiana. «■ # * Professor John P. Buwalda, a del egate from the California Institute of Technology, was for years a mem ber of the geology faculty of the University of California, and for several years dean of the summer sessions there. He has done consid erable work in investigating the ge ology of the John Day region, and will lecture this morning at the nat ural science symposium on “Certain Events in the Interesting Geological History of Oregon and Their Con sequences.” V * * Levi T. Pennington, president of Pacific College at Newberg, Oregon, has been an interested listener at all of the symposiums held so far. One of the delegates had been ad miring the campus here, and com plimented his host on the splendid way in which it is kept, but when he saw the sign advertising the new Pine Arts building, which is to be constructed soon, he was heard to remark that he thought that the University should allow no adver tisements on the grounds. * * • Mrs. Charles H. Edmundson, wife of Charles H. Edmundson, former professor of zoology at the Uni versity of Oregon, and now at the University of Hawaii, is visiting in ; Eugene and renewing her acquaint anceships among faculty members and their wives. * # « Prank S. Baker, of Tacoma, Wash ington, publisher of the Tacoma Ledger and News Tribune, is attend ing the Semi-Centennial celebration this week as a delegate from West ern Beserve University of Missouri. » * »* As Bishop Walter T. Sumner, of Portland, started to deliver the in vocation at the inaugural cere monies at Hayward field Monday morning, an imperturbable photo grapher calmly continued to adjust his camera until it was trained at just the right angle toward the stage, afterwards reverently remov ing his cap. * * «■ The representative of Princeton, J. Duncan Spaeth, came down from % Portland where he is on sabbatical leave. He is teaching at Reed Col lege this year. Professor Spaeth is probably as well acquainted with the University and the faculty as any of the delegates here, having been a member of the faculty dur ing several of the recent summer sessions. When not engaged in the pegagogical capacity at Princeton, he coaches rowing. A. L. Mills, the representative of Harvard University, normally, holds down the office of President of the Pirst National bank of Portland. Rumor has it that co-eds grad uating from the University of Ore gon will take their graduate work at the University of Michigan—at least those who have seen President C. C. Little. Dr. Norman Coleman, president of Reed college, who presided at the social science symposium Tuesday ^ afternoon, has been president of the Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lum bermen, and is keenly interested in industrial relations. President Cole man is not representing Reed col lege, but the University, of Toronto, where he was a classmate of Colin V. Dyment. Dean L. John Nuttall, Jr., acting president of Brigham Young uni versity, brought his little daughter to the Semi-Centennial celebration. She was very much interested in the Japanese doll exhibit at the formal showing of the Oregon Museum of Pine Arts in the Woman’s build ing Monday afternoon. Alfred A. Cleveland, dean of Washington State college, who i is representing that institution at ” the Semi-Centennial celebration this (Continued on page three) Science, Adult Education Are Topics Today Change in Place of Initial Speech Made to Allow Use of Slides Dr. C. C. Little to Talk At Morning Session President Hall to Preside At Lectures During The Afternoon LECTURES concerning natural science and problems in adult education will be included in the symposia program for today which marks the third day of the cele bration. The first address this morning, “Certain Events in the Interesting Geological History of Oregon and Their Consequences,” by Professor John P. Buwalda, Ph. D., California Institute of Technology, will be held in the auditorium of the University high school at 10 o’clock instead of the music building. The change was decided upon because the lecture will be extensively illustrated with slides which can be more effectively used in the high school building. After this hour the audience will ad journ to the music auditorium for the remainder of the program. Dr. Little to Speak President C. C. Little, Sc. D., LL. D., of the University of Michigan, will deliver an address on “Genetic Investigations and the Cancer Prob lem.” Eugene Carr, baritone, will sing “I Shot an Arrow Into the Air.” President C. H.

Old Chinese Paintings Recall Beauty And Splendor Of Ancient Dynasties \ -- Perfection of Design Still Retained; Panels Show Characteristics of Their Periods Mellow browns, soft blues, rich old roses, and other shades sugges tive of another age, an age when Oriental rulers were truly monarehs of all they surveyed—an age when splendor, brilliant and colorful, sur rounded those lords and masters who ruled grandly and ruthlessly—hang from the walls of the exhibiting room in the school of art and archi tecture building this week. They seem to lend to the room a feeling somewhat mysterious, (somewhat reminiscent of those days when they, in all their brilliance of color adorned the walls and screens of some Chinese lord. Today they are faded, but with their fading has come an added mellowness, a soft ness, a rich glow which has manag ed to atone for the loss of their or iginal gayety. As one glances around the room letting his eyes linger here and there upon some very lovely paint ing, he sees some which are still quite well preserved regardless of years of gradual fading, others quite brown with age. Some are so old, so brown, that they look as though they had been discolored perchance by the heavy smoke of an opium den. These are among the most charming of tho group. In all of them are found charac teristics of the dynasty during which they were painted. If the paintings are closely studied accord ing to their respective dynasties it can be seen that Chinese art of that time went through various stages just as art did some hundreds of years later in Europe. Several pieces displayed which are fruit of the renaissance period that took place in the Ming dynasty are very pleasing. They show a brilliance and elegance in treatment. In all these works the pattern is of greatest interest, as it is in all Chinese art. They are all highly decorative and most of them seem almost perfect in design. Their rhythm is very pleasing as is their balance, unity, and harmony. Be ing an artist who is most interested in the- decorative effect of his work, the Chinese devotes himself large ly to detail. His mastery of it is beautifully presented in all of these paintings. The entire group of paintings in this showing are examples of the best art of these periods and beauti ful remembrances of a people who were masters of their work. U. of W. Alumni In Eugene Rap Hartley Action Dr. Suzzallo Honored at Luncheon; Resolutions Show Spirit The policy of Governor Hartley and his board of regents toward higher education in general and the University of Washington in partic ular, was criticised yesterday in a resolution passed by a group of Washington alumni residents in Eu gene. The occasion was a luncheon at the Anchorage yesterday noon, tendered Dr. Henry Suzzallo, lately deposed from the presidency of the University of Washington by a board of regents whose majority was appointed by Governor Hartley. It was explained by those pres ent at the luncheon that the res olutions were introduced on the in itiative of Dr. Suzzallo’s hosts and that they were passed without any suggestion on his part that action be taken. The resolution, signed by twelve former Washingtonians, fol low: “Besolved, that we, graduates, former students, and friends of the University of Washington, deplore the spirit of uninformed hostility toward higher education which char acterizes the policy of the present governor of Washington, as worked out by his board of regents; “That in our opinion time will reveal an increasing harvest of ills for the university through the ar bitrary acts of those on whom the control of a great educational in stitution has been unwisely bestow ed; “That the people of the state of Washington should, at the earliest opportunity, come to the rescue of their system of higher education and reassure the friends of the uni versity and enlightened observers the country over that the institu tion which means so much to the future of Washington is not to be thrown to the wolves by politicians who neither love it nor understand it.” Those present at the meeting were: Dr. Henry Suzzallo, former president of the University of Wash ington, who was a guest of the group; Kai Jensen, instructor in the school of education; Stanley Orne, representative of the Oregonian; Professor George S. Turnbull of the school of journalism; Professor F. L. Stetson, of the school of educa tion; Mrs. F. L. Stetson; Mrs. Alice H. Ernst, assistant professor in Eng lish department; Dr. fb L.

Kerns, assistant professor in the school of architecture and allied arts; and Dr. Budolph H. Ernst, as sociate professor in the English de partment. Fijis Nose Out Kappa Sigma in Over-time Play Game Ends 19 All; Extra Ten Minutes Needed For Play-off Story book basketball featured the Fiji victory of 23 to 21 over Kappa Sigma yesterday afternoon. Two periods of over-time play, fivo minutes each, were needed to reach a decision. With the tally 21 to 19 in favor of the Kappa Sigs, and with only 10 seconds left in the first over time stanza, Gray, Fiji forward, heaved the ball toward the basket. Up it arched, then swooped down-' blew his whistle to end the game, ward, and just as the time-keeper the spheroid swished through the basket in regulation fiction style. The second and last over-time period waf more cautious, each team fearing the results of fouling an opponent. Hosford converted the winning goal for Phi Gamma Delta. Good basketball was played by both teams, neither having a partic ularly outstanding star, though Mc Kay, Kappa Sigma, and McDonald, Fiji, had an edge on their cohorts in marksmanship. Sigma Phi Epsilon trounced Al pha. Beta Chi in a one-sided mas sacre following the Fiji-Kappa Sig struggle, the final count being 32 to 7.

Railroad Fare Cheap Everyone in the state is giving the proper co-operation which should make the Oregon-Stanford game at tendance the largest in the history of the University. Railroad fares are on a one and one-third basis from any station in the state to Eugene. A round trip ticket gives the purchaser until Monday, October 25, as a return date. In order that seats will be avail able for everyone, workmen are busy this week constructing a temporary bleacher on the south end of the field. 'This new section will contain 850 uncovered seats and brings Hay ward field’s seating capacity to ap proximately 16,000. The covered seating capacity now amounts to 10,200. Lemon-yellow rooters will have the pick of the seats this year. Ac cording to the graduate manager, 3000 choice seats have been reserv ed in the north end of the new grandstand. This will include sec tions K, L, M, and part of N and will be accessable through gates 9, 10 and 11. Located in the Oregon rooting section will be the band out fitted in new lemon-yellow uniforms. Stanford Rooters to Come .uucaiea next to the Oregon yell ing section have been reserved 1000 seats for Stanford alumni and root ers. It is reported that quite a del egation of Cardinal rooters are mak ing the trip north'. The Order of the “O” will have their customary procession preced ing the game. The “O” parade starts from the barracks, marching through the main gate and around the field. Bleacher seats will be con structed fo% the former athletes in front, of the west grandstand. Many Ushers Appointed Taking no chances with excited football crowds, the managerial staff has appointed a large number of committeemen who will work in con junction with a large corps of ush ers, so everything will be system atically worked out. The doors open at 12 o ’clock, with the band giving a concert beginning at 1:15.

Former Professor Writes From Boston John B. Siefert, who was former ly a professor in the school of music, is now teaching music in Boston, Mass. The following letter was re ceived by Sol Abramson, editor of the Emerald, from Mr. Siefert: Dear Sol: It’s a far cry from Bos ton, Mass., to Eugene, Ore., but I know of no better way to keep in touch with campus affairs than by reading the “Emerald,” so, immed iately upon receipt of these lines, will you kindly enter my subscrip tion for the year. I do not know what the charges are, otherwise I would enclose a check. Kindest greeting)* to you from Bob Dart and myself. Sincerely, JOHN B. SIEFERT. f Homecoming Smoker Planned for Friday IYE ’im a right?

It will greatly assist those in handling traffic if students will oo-operate with the managers in this matter. Social Science History T opics Of Symposia | Ancient Beginnings and Modern Problems Diseussed Dr. Paxson Declares Borders Bar Solution Eva Emery Dye Calls First Schools Frontier Forts "VrESTERDAY’S program of the symposia, which included sub jects of history and social science, was developed by six speakers, all of national prominence. Dr. Frederick Logan Paxson, professor of history in the University of Wisconsin, talked on “The Trail of Our Border.” Dr. | TIenry D. Sheldon, dean of the school of education, detailed “The Pioneer Stage in the History of the University of Oregon, 1872 to 1885.” “Forts on the Frontier” was hand led by Mrs. Eva Emery Dye. The morning’s symposium was conclud ed by Dr. Joseph Schafer, super intendent of tho Wisconsin State Historical society, who spoke on the problem of “Modernizing tho Uni versity of Oregon.” Speakers for the afternoon social science symposium were Dr. Frank LeRond McVey, president of the University of Kentucky, whose sub ject was: “The University as a Me diator;” and Dean Willard Eugene Hotchkiss, dean of tho graduate I school of business, Stanford univer sity, on “Human Relations in In dustry.” Borders Are Barriers Dr. Paxson, in his address on “The Trail of Our Border Life,” declared that American life is still traveling in “border ruts;” i. c., influences resulting from pioneer life. Dr. Paxson, one of the best known historians of the West, was the first speaker of the history sym posium held yesterday morning at nine o’clock ^in tho music audito rium. Among the modern problems whose lack of settlement he attributed to pioneer customs were prohibition, farmer’s surplus and the Monroe doctrino as tho most successful pol icy. “It may be laid down as an axiom that when the governing centers in our life have enacted regulations that depend upon personal assent for their enforcement, those regula tions have had little weight upon the border unless they have harmon ized with the local opinion there,” Dr. Paxson said. Jjocai option Needed He developed this idea from the days when smuggling of slaves, and earlier still of ammunition, up to the present time when bootlegging is the main source of worry to those Volstead sympathizers. As a moans of overcoming this problem, the speaker advocated loc al legislation for local problems, and national handling of only the prob lems that are not sectional in na ture. Through no other means will all be willing to follow the laws, and will all judge without personal feelings entering in when voting. Hr. H. D. Sheldon spoke on “The Uioitecr Stage in the History of the University of Oregon, 1872 to 1885." In tracing the growth which was inspired by the National Ordinance of 1787 which set aside two town ships in each state as providing rev enue for educational institutions, I)r. Sheldon said: “In 1872, $40,000 school lands in Oregon and the gov ernor at that time proposed that the money be turned over to the community who put up a building." Eugene Gets School Eugene, although solicited by Thomas F. Campbell of the school at Monmouth to aid that town in pro viding the required building, saw its own opportunity, and with the help of local people, gained the state’s promise to establish the school here if it could construct a $50,000 building within the next two years. This time was extended an other two years however, because the plan of individual taxation and of popular subscription, arranged by the Union University Association of Eugene and which was hoped to bring in the required sum, was a failure. Mrs. Eva Emery Dye of Oregon, author of “McLoughlin and Old Oregon” and other books of pioneer life, traced the development of col leges and universities in her “Forts of the Frontier." University Needs Named The universities of today must be freed from such elementary (Continued on page four)
