Dr. H. L. Bowman, Portland Pastor, Listed to Speak Well-Known Church Head To Deliver Address At Assembly Dr. Harold L. Bowman, pastor of the first Presbyterian church of Portland, Oregon, will deliver the address at the weekly assembly Thursday morning at eleven o ’clock in the Woman’s building. Dr. Bowman is recognized as one of the outstanding religious leaders in the state, and has an unusual reputation as a speaker. He has had a varied career in connection with his ministerial work. During the years from 1910 to 1913, Dr. Bowman was an in structor in English at the American University in Beirut, Syria. From 1915 to i917, he held the position of assistant minister of the sec ond Presbyterian church of Chicago. He was ordained in 1916. He has been pastor of the first Presbyterian church in Portland since 1920. He also serves in the capacity of a trustee of San Fran cisco Theological Seminary, San Francisco, California, and of Albany College, Albany, Oregon. Dr. Bowman received his B. A. degree in 1910 from Coe College at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and his D. D. in 1918. He was graduated from the McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago in 1916. John Stark Evans to Dedicate New Organ In Portland Church Dedication of the new Reuter pipe organ in the Sunnyside Seventh day Adventist church in Portland will be made by John Stark Evans, of the school of music faculty, on Sunday, February 20. Professor Evans is planning to leave for Port land Friday. The program has been largely se lected from requested numbers. “Bells of St. Anne de Beaupro,” by Russell, was the most favored and called for of the compositions on the program. This selection, whose composer is the director of music in the Wannamaker stores and who is also the organist at Princeton Uni versity, is one of the most realis tically beautiful pieces that has ever been written, mu$ic critics say. It is an interpretation of the history of the miraculous healing of the pilgrims who came to St. Anne’s Cathedral id Canada. The piece combines the chimes of the cathedral with the chanting of the pilgrims and ends with the ben ediction. The “Romance in A,” which com poses the last part of the program, a composition by Professor Evans, was also particularly requested by the Adventist church. Another se lection which will be played, “Lon donery Air,” is a composition which Professor Evans revised frbm an old Irish tune. Colloquium (Continued from page one) ified students to various types of honor work. A by-product of this winnowing process at the end of the lower div ision work may be the rejection of unpromising material as well as the conservation and further develop ment of the best. The committee’s plan contemplates the granting of a junior certificate at the end of the sophomore year, or soon after, which may be regarded as a certificate of graduation and honorable dismissal for those who do not wish to pursue a university course into the upper division or achieve the bachelor’s degree. The successful completion of lower division work signalized by granting a certificate might satisfy the scholastic ambition of many who now feel obligated to reach the goal of a university degree. The institution might, while recognizing the right of others to continue their university course, frankly discour age mediocre students whose uni versity careers are likely to be bar ren of any real results. There would be at this stage a positive selection of superior students who would not only be promoted to junior stand ing but promoted with honors not unlike those accorded to superior students upon receipt of the bach elor ’s degree. The committee has not thought best to attempt the task of singling out superior students for special treatment before the end jf the sophomore year. The prevailing practice seems to be to establish honor status only with the begin ning of the junior year. At Knox, Smith, Swarthmore, and Columbia, where experiments have been most extensively tried, honor status is accorded only when students are definitely promoted to upper div ision work. Objections will be raised that the recognition of special attainments is so long delayed that freshmen and sophomores, otherwise eligible, will lack incentive and will contract habits of passivity and mental in difference which unfit them |for privileges of honor students later on. The answer is that while not admitting lower division students for status as honor students, the registrar, with the help of the hon ors council, can prepare- a list of superior students based on the same criteria of selection as those em ployed for the segregation of honor students when they enter the upper division. Moreover, much can be done in the lower division to supply incentive by devices calculated to secure public recognition of excel lence in scholarship even during the earlier years. In the first place, the entering student can look to the fairly immediate prospect of “cer tification with honors’' at the end of his sophomore year. In the publication of grades at the end of the spring term the reg istrar might be directed to list the names of students receiving “junior certificate with honor privileges.” The criteria for selecting this group shall be the same as those prescribed by the honors council for the selec tion of students eligible for honor privileges. The junior certificate of those accorded honor status may bear the phrase “with honor status” or the Latin phrase “in laudis gradum.” Again, freshmen who matriculate with unusual high school records and | who score high in mental tests might be more extensively admitted to courses now open to sophomores, or to sections reserved for students of superior ability only. Another concession to lower divi sion students of exceptional ability might be a reasonable amount of freedom in the matter of auditing classes in related fields. Lower division students of honor grade might also be encouraged to form discussion groups for the inter change of ideas and the analysis of material contained in readings chos en by the students under direction of instructors. These discussion groups would properly be regarded as an apprenticeship for the honor status later on and might go far to overcome the diffidence or pas sivity characteristic of university students in general. Second Epidemic Visits High School Campus The second influenza epidemic has hit the University high school, and | this time it is working against many | school activities that are now in . their height, besides decreasing the I attendance to a very considerable extent. Practically twenty per cent of the students enrolled were ab sent from school yesterday, and four of the practice teachers were not able to be present due to the epi demic. Twenty-two per cent were counted absent in the previous seige about two weeks ago. Four of the first string men of the basketball quintet are vietims of the epidemic and practice meets were discontinued last night by Coach Frank Reinhart. Three were out of the line-up for Saturday’s game with the Corvallis high school, and two were unable to play the full time. This substitute line-up accounts for the 30-12 defeat which was handed the local school by the Corvallis five. The senior play, “So This Is Lon don,” which was to be given this term, has also suffered a delay due to the illness in the school and the difficulties encountered in selecting a cast, and may have to be called off entirely if plans can not be definite ly formulated in the near future. Educational Honorary To Celebrate Founding The local Chi chapter of Phi Del ta Kappa, national educational hon orary for men, will celebrate its “sixth anniversary Saturday, Febru ary 19, at five p. m. in the parlors of the Congregational ohureh.

Their nocturnal candle, the winter moon. The wind on its harp plays a lullaby; Naked trees shiver and brown grasses sigh. On a low sloping hill the moon’s pale light Lies in shapeless splashes of mystic white. There rest the dead beneath things that sleep, Covered by moonlight and shadows deep. KATHERINE PETERSON SONG FOR. PESSIMISTS Black her hair and blue her eyes, And ruby her lips of fire; And dark is life and bright is life, And searing is man’s desire. Brave is the man who sings alone, And strong is he who wins; And bent is the tree that braves the wind, And twisted is he who sins. Sullen her lips and sad her eyes, And gray her knotted hair; And cursed is he with the heart of flesh, And crushed are they who dare. JULIAN FISHER SMITH THE OLD INDIAN’S SONG Close to Carmel-by-the-Sea On a sand dune near La Yo, Haunting voices drifted to me Singing of the long ago. "Long ago the stars shone brightly On the silent world below. Sun—Great Spirit—was asleep then, Moon was waning to a bow. Under-water-people rested; Through the trees a breeze sighed 1 low; . Quiet reigned throughout the forest, Winnesola, long ago. “Night birds cooed from hidden tree-tops— Little thought they Tikwemo, Indian chief, was floating near them, Watchful by his tightened bow. Campfires gleamed beside your wig wam, Leaped up fast, then flickered slow; Wavelets rippled on the seashore, Winnesola, long ago. “On the still sea, paddling lightly, In my bark canoe, ‘ Lilo Oft I wondered: were you sleeping On that night so long ago? Did you dream of your brave warrior While you slept, my Small-Brown Doe f Did you dream he. dreamed of you, slim Winnesola, long agof” A train whistle shrieked and woke me From tho voice of Tikwemo. Foghorns booming their deep warn ing Drowned the song of long ago. JANE DUDLEY QUATRAINS I thought to find on top of that long hill Which seemed to overshadow all the rest, Merely the deadness of the old windmill Instead—I found the sunset in the West. I thought to find at the end of those long years Which slowly wheeled across the waiting land Merely the reason for our empty tears Instead—I found you holding out your hand. ETHA JEANNE CLARK TO A CHILD (A eharm for sleep) Now close your eyes, lie warm, lie quietly, Hear .like the pattering rain this sleepy rune. A white and drowsy daisy field I see Where we pluck petals all the after noon; They fall, they fall, softly as shad ows. Soon The sun sinks down, and three sheep homeward go. Now in the hollow of the crescent moon You lie, as in a trundle-bed that slow And goldenly the Wind rockB to . . . and fro . . . and . . . fit). SERENA MADSEN WE LOSE A FRIEND A silken thread Is all that holds, ’tis said, A friendship’s ties; Tear that, and friendship dies. I did not care When threads were torn; despair To me meant naught. New friends could well be sought. It was not true. And I’d be glad if you Would weave with me, A thread of lesser frailty.
