UNLESS something has teen
learned, nothing has been
taught.—Henry Clay Trumbull.
On Having the
“Proper Spirit”
ONE often hears the remark,
made by one student to an
other in regard to a particular col
lege, that such-and-such a place
lacks the proper spirit. Usually
nothing more is said—it is gener
ally taken for granted that the
place in question is in something
of a bad way, that its campus is
somehow tainted, and that if you
are looking for a congenial insti
tution to spend an agreeable four
years, you had better steer clear of
it.
Wo have never dared inquire in
to just what was meant by “prop
er spirit.” Tlie phrase has always
carried with it such a hallowed
significance, a significance which
everyone, at all familiar with col
lego life evidently understood,
that any questioning appeared lit
tle short of sacrilegious. And yet
we have always wondered a little....
privately.
Consequently when we stumbled
upon an editorial in a recent issue
of the Barometer headed “Proper
Spirit” we were more than interest
ed, and while a little surprised
that any one would attempt a dis
cussion of the phrase in print, read
it eagerly.
“Notre Dame,” ran the first
paragraph, “nationally known for
wonder football teams, furnishes
an ideal example of a student body
vitally interested in the gridiron
success of the school.” No other
institution of learning in the coun
try, it seems, has been more com
pletely given over to the great fall
sport than the midwestern univer
sity in question; no other body of
students in the nation has devoted
more of its time and energy to the
vocal and spiritual support of some
thirty athletes, than the sturdy
backers of the “Fighting Irish;”
and no other university in this fair
land has developed a gridiron war
rior like George Gipp, “one of the
greatest backfield men in the his
tory of the game, a recognized
all-time, All American half-back.”
All of which was very well,
but we were a bit uneasy as
to the point of all this until
the last paragraph.
“For O. A. C. to duplicate the
school spirit of the iniddlewest in
stitution would be as great an
achievement as equalling the grid
iron successes of the “four horse
men.” The possession of a great
school spirit, always on tap, and in
dependent of pep injection, would
be of as much real worth to the
college as a coast championship.”
And then we were no longer in the
dark. The proper spirit, to quote j
again from the editorial, may be
said to permeate that gloriously
ideal institution where “the stud
ents play the game, think football
and even go so far as to visit the
college chapel to invoke spiritual
assistance for the team in their
stiff schedule.”
It is sadly obvious that unless
we have this ‘‘proper spirit” we
can never boast of any nationally
known football heroes. Never will
a “coast championship”— or may
be more, loom in the future for a
team from the misty Willamette
valley. This and more we must in
evitably forfeit if we begin wrong,
if we fail to distill a unified, cam
pus-wide spirit of sufficient potenc}
and quantity to be kept “ever on
tap,” ready to gurgle frothily
forth whenever the cheer leader
turns the Bpigot. It is sad; but we
do appear to be off the direct route
to this glorious gridiron valhalla.

Her Majesty
Is Here
DEMOCRATS and Republicans
unite in genuflections to Her
Majesty, Queen Marie of Rumania.
The front page space which we
have become accustomed Ito look
to for accounts of the investiga
tion of the activities of Aimee Mc
Pherson is usurped by the royal im
migrant. Her every movement is
watched and reported. We learn
what kind of clothes a queen wrears.
We are told that she dislikes a
popular brand of American cigar
ettes, and we ponder seriously tho
kind it might be. We know, how
ever, that time will reward us with
knowledge for what an excellent
argument a queen's recommenda
tion makes in an advertisement].
We note for future reference the
advice syndicated so generously, on
how to behave in the pressure of
royalty, the approved methods of
curtseying and starting conversa
tions. We gladly abandon our pro
vincial notions of etiquette for the
imported brand.
The Queen is being given a royal
reception. Limousines, washing ma
chines, hotel bills, railroad fares—
except on the Southern Pacific—
come free to royalty when Uncle
Sam entertains. Every small town
on her line of travel is proudly
awaiting the arrival of the guest
and is preparing to hand over its
keys in exchange for a choice col
lection of memories. Large cities
are no less proud of the opportunity
to lavish entertainment.
What does all this mean? It very
clearly demonstrates what has been
shown so many times before; that
we, as a people, have long since
ceased to shy at royalty as some
thing from the nether world;.
Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Hen
ry are dead; but their shades may
still be among us. How they must
bow in shame, rather than in
obeisance. The people do not seem
very much concerned over this in
vasion of our liberty loving soil.
The fact of the matter is that our
country is growing up. We feel our
importance to the rest of the world
and are perfectly willing to show
the splendors of our country to one
who, we believe will be properly
impressed by them. We can't help
remarking: How times do change.

The Golden Bear that Oregon
faces next Saturday will be a de
crepit beast, without much fight
left. There is always a possibility,
though, that it will snap out of its
lethargy and play at feast one good
game. However, there is no par
ticularly good reason to believe that
it will be against Oregon. Coach
Pfice must take this game in his
stride, as the keying up process
must wait until the Washington and
Stanford encounters.
The Oregon team is not in the
best of shape, either. Smith, Jones,

were painted in 0. A. C. colors.
Either O. A. C. students were re
sponsible for this occurrence or a
group of unaffiliated people; as yet
I have not been able to discover.
Following this occurrence, last
Thursday some of our freshmen en
tered your camjbis and painted the
Iron Lady, and several sidewalks,
according to their own confession.
That action was not sponsored by
the Associated Students, but occur
red without iany previous knowl
edge on our part. They confessed
this information Friday morning
and gave as their reason for this
conduct the fact that O. A. O.
colors had been painted in several
places on our campus. Saturday
morning the campus was painted the
second time. 1 am setting these
facts forth in some detail, not with
the intention of mitigating the of
fenses of the Oregon students but
merely to enlighten the facts of
the case.
Freshmen Not Instructed
“The fact remains that both
campuses were disturbed and that
the disturbances were not in ac
cord with the original agreement.
I am at fault in failing to instruct
the freshmen in regard to this mat
ter during Freshman week and
neglecting to impress upon them
the importance of preserving the
friendly feeling that has existed be
tween the two schools for the past ]
few years. I had taken it for grant- ]
ed. However, I offer you a sin-!
cere apology for the part played by I
the Oregon students in bringing
about this circumstance. There is1
no excuse for removing the statue1
in front of the gymnasium; this1
amounts to destruction of proper-]
ty and reflects even greater dis
credit on them. I am extremely
sorry that they went so far.
Let Agreement Continue
‘ ‘ Theirs was an act of irrespon
sibility and ignorance of the orig
inal standing agreement. I am in
clined to believe that the action
of the O. A. C. students, if it was
that of O. A. 0. students, in paint
ing the Oregon campus, arose out
of similar circumstances and does
not reflect upon you or your stud
ent administration. I am anxious
that the agreement mentioned above
continue, and feel confident that
if it is brought to the attention of
incoming students from year to year
the conditions for which we are
striving will be successful.
“I hope that you join with me
in the desire to continue and im
prove in every possible way a most
amicable and friendly relationship
between the two institutions.’’

Leaf Fossils Found;
One With Five Petals
A larger collection than has ever
been secured before of leaf fossils
in rock layers was brought fpom a
place on the highway about a mile
and a half south of Goshen recently
by members of the class in paleo
botany. The fossils were found in
the layers of the sand stone rods
which had been disturbed when the
road was being prepared for the
pavement.
Some can be distinguished as
chestnut, oak, poplar, willow, and
elm, and one of special importance
is the perfect fossil of a five-pet
aled flower, about one inch in dia
meter. The largest is about twelve
inches in length.
A smaller collection was brought
back from the same place last year,
but, according to Miss Ethel San
born, instructor in botany, the new
collection is by far the larger and
better. Miss Sanborn and Wilbur
Hayden, graduate in zoology, ac
companied the students.
