—
Exhibit in University
Press Shows Examples
Of Good Printing.
“In behalf of the student body I
extend a cordial welcome to you
who are guests of the campus this i
week-end. It is not often that two j
events of such importance and in- I
terest as the Annual Editors’ con- j
ferenee and the Pacific Coast cham- I
pionship series coincide in the place j
and time of meeting. We are hon- |
ored by the presence of both groups, i
and it is our sincere wish that you ,
enjoy thoroughly the time spent |
here.”
Cordially,
Hugh Biggs, president of the
A. S. U. O.

Fowler (Oregon ’14), former edi
tor of the Emerald, and now asso
ciate editor of the Bend Bulletin, ]
and George Curtis, the Bulletin’s t
circulation manager. Mr. Fowler j
and Mr. Curtis drove from Bend to ,
Chemault, a flag station about 65 1
miles from Bend, there flagged an j
S. P. train on the new cutoff I
aud were in Eugene eight hours j
from their departure from home. ;
They both speak in high praise of
the snow scenery on the new line,
which at times carries them above
the clouds at an elevation of 5,000 :
feet or so. They are staying at the
Eugene hotel.
George P. Cheney, owner, editor, j
and publisher of the Enterprise ]
Record Chieftain, and his son, j
George, Jr., drove in early yester- j

printing companies of the state has
been arranged in the University
press building by Ray Nash, man
aging editor of the Oregon Daily
Emerald, and Robert 0. Hall, head
of the University press.
A curious collection is one sent

Cottage Grove Sentinel. It is an
exhibit of the odd letter-head print
ing of a period 25 and 30 years ago.
One letter-head carries the date
1885, and is set in the flowing
script that was considered the par
excellence of that period.

Oregon City Enterprise; Bertelson
and McShane, Salem; Corvallis
Printing Company; Astoria Budget;

Almost all the tickets are sold for
the W. A. A. banquet to be held

sweaters and small O’s will be
awarded to those who have earned
them.

ticket for the banquet, upon the
payment of seventy-five cents.
A lot of clever features are be
ing worked out by the various mem

John Henry Nash Works in Type
For Joy of Creating New Artistry
World-Famed Printer, Friend of University, Due
Today for Editor’s Meet
By H. L.
In the history of printing, such
names as Aldus Manutius, William
Caxton, and Nicolas Jensen are
famous. Today they 'receive far
greater recognition than in their
own time.
In San Francisco there is a print
er whose fame is already spreading
far abroad, while its growth accel
erates with each new work that
comes from his press. He is
not striving for fame. Neither is
his printing a business. Like the
printers of old, he works at his ease
or studies the famous printing of
another age, with the sincere joy
of creating works in type that will
honor the art he has chosen.
• John Henry Nash, master crafts
man, will arrive tonight with a load
of artistic, printing exhibits from
his own press, which will be on
display during the editors ’ confer
ence here Friday and Saturday.
Two years ago, Nash addressed
the Oregon Newspaper conference
for the first time, and he has re
mained the sincere friend of the
Oregon editors and the University.
At the conference last year, a fine
arts press was endowed by the edi
tors, under the leadership of Mr.
Nash, who, himself, is supervising
the planning and printing of the
first book to be printed by students.
The editors of the state were quick
to subscribe. $1,000 was pledged,
almost immediately, and since that
time, sums ranging from $5 to $100
have been coming in.
The late President P. L. Camp
bell’s philosophy of educational
ideals, embodied in the unpublished
manuscript found among his papers,
entitled “Education and the State,”
was selected as the first book for
printing, and an introduction was
written by President Arnold Ben
nett Hall. Under the long-distance
direction of Mr. Nash, work has
been going forward on the book
during the last two terms, and it
is now set into type, and ready for
the inspection of the master printer.
At the conference this year, Mr.
Nash will meet with the contribu
tors to the endowment, and the se
lection of a work for printing next
year will be made.
Last year the University conferred
the honorary degree of doctor of
laws on Mr. Nash.
The master printer has created
more than 20 volumes and broad
sides. The only two volumes which
he issued for sale were limited edi
tions. They were, “Sonnets From
the Portuguese,” by Elizabeth Bar
rett Browning, and “Nicolas Jensen,
Printer of Venice.” In 1923 he
printed “The Silverado Squatters”
in a special edition for paries
Scribner’s Sons.
Mr. Nash received the first prize
award in the 1926 National Graphic
Arts Leaders’ exhibit, in competi

Honor Students
Not Only Ones
Under New Plan
Upper Division Group
Those Who Have
Purpose, Says Dean
Contrary to the belief of many
students, it will not be necessary
to be rated as honor students in
order to continue in the University
beyond the two years of junior col
i lege work provided in the plan
adopted by the faculty Wednes
day, it was explained yesterday by
Dr. George Rebec, dean of the grad
uate school and chairman of the
i committee recommending the plan.
Under the plan as adopted, stu
; dents finishing the two years of
general cultural work will be divid
ed into three groups, said the dean.
The first group will consist of those
, who have completed the lower divi
: sion requirements but are judged
to be unsuited to continue as Uni
versity students and might do better
for themselves in some other sort of
school. This group will be told that
it is better that they should not
i come back the next year. Those
who wish for a further trial will be
permitted to attend for two more
terms, after which they will have to
| leave if their record does not show
improvement.
A second group will be made up
of students with good average
1 grades who have shown a serious
ness of purpose in their studies.
These will receive the junior cer
j tificate with upper division stand
Tlie junior certificate with honors
privileges will go to a third group
j who have not only satisfied the low
; er division requirements, but also
! certain others imposed by the hon
ors council of the faculty. Selec
tions for the honors privileges will
be based on scholastic records, gen
eral attitude toward studies, in
dustry, psychological tests, and high
school records.

Oregon Sixth
Richest State
Dr.Hall Shows
Per Capita Wealth High
Declares President
At Assembly
Research Big Need of
Dormant Resources
University Students Prove
Best Ambassadors
OREGON is one of the wealthiest
states per capita in the Union,
Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall told the
assembly yesterday morning, basing
his statement on research he has
made during the last six months.
Dr. Hall’s topic for his address in
tin' Woman’s building was “Ambas
sadors of the University.” At that
time he gave some of the statistical
facts which account for Oregon’s
high ranking as a prosperous state.
The evidence which includes fi
nancial, industrial and education
statistics, was compiled from a num
ber of sources including the wealth
census in the 1925 issue of the sta
tistical abstract published by the
United States Bureau of Education;
from income statistics published by
the National Industrial Conference
Board in a recent book on the “Cost
of Government in the U. S.” and
from a report of the United States
Bureau of Education.
Road Building Extensive
“The state of Oregon is sixth in
the United States in per capita
wealth and twelfth in per capita
income. Excepting one state, Ore
gon spends more money per capita
for building roads than any other
state in the Union,” said Dr. Hall.
The state of Oregon, the president
finds, is sending proportionally to
population, more children to insti
tutions of higher learning than is
any other state in the Union ex
cepting two. The people of this
state own more automobiles per cap
ita than any other state except one,
he said.
“The per capita taxation in Ore
gon is $50 a year, and if the Uni
versity had received all the appro
priations that I would have had the
courage to ask for, the additional
tax on these people would have
been 33 and one-third cents per
person,” he said.
High Cost of Smoking
The men of the state spend seven
times as much money on smoking
as goes to higher education, and
the women spend seven times as
much on cosmetics as is given to
higher education, continued Dr.
Hall.
“You are the best ambassadors of
the University,” he said to the stu
dents, “and it is you who must
carry the message to the people of
the state that the money spent by
them on higher education in devel
oping character and intellect is well
spent,” he said.
“I want you to believe in the pol
icies and ideals which the admin
istration of the University upholds
to the extent which they commend
themselves to your approval and
judgment,” he said. The people
must be made to realize that ade
quate facilities for academic pur
suits, for research and for a pro
gram of adult education must be
provided if the University is to
function to its greatest extent.
Research and Education
“The importance of research is
one of the most difficult tilings to
get across to the public. We must
prove that research has an impor
tant part in education,” he said.
People ask, “Why should I give
my money to the support of a man
who spends his entire life studying
a bug, so small that it can only be
seen under a microscope?” Yet it
was because of the activity of one
man who did devote himself to the
study of a certain germ that the
Panama canal was built, Dr. Hall
stated. After the French had given
up the task of building the canal
and the American government took
it over, it was this man who dis
covered the relation between the
mosquito and malaria and yellow
fever, and wdio died for his experi
ment, which made its construction
possible.
Benjamin Franklin might have
been ridiculed out of existence in
his scientific pursuits, but it was he
who discovered electricity.
Louis Pasteur, who the speaker
asserted, has done more to lessen
the sufferings of mankind than anv
other man, w'orked in his dingy
little Paris office in the late sixties,
i to produce the results of his ex
1 periments to the world.

-*- and persons who prior to
now have been languid and en
joying life are conquering the

Some wish that on the day of

Oregon Finmen
To Enter P. N. A.
Meet at O. A. C
Johnny Anderson to Swim
150-Yard Back Stroke
And 100-Yard Dash
The University of Oregon will be
represented by three swimmers at
the Pacific Northwest Association
swimming meet which is to be held
in Corvallis tomorrow, in the O. A.
0. pool.
Johnny Anderson and Charles Sil
verman, both of the freshman swim
ming team, will be accompanied by
Willis Fletcher, the only varsity man
of the Webfoot squad to compete.
Anderson, who was known in east
ern circles chiefly as a 220 yard dash
man, has been developed in the 100
yard free style and in the 150 yard
back stroke since he has been swim
ming for Oregon. Last Saturday he
broke the existing P. N. A. record
of :57.G, but lost his title when
Orville Peterson, of O. A. C., broke
it again in the varsity meet that
followed the freshman competition.
Peterson negotiated the distance in
:57 flat.
Anderson will also swim the 150
yard back stroke. He has been swim
ming this event in practice in close
to record time, but as it is against
the conference rules for one man
to enter more than three events he
has been used in the 100 yard free
style, the dives, and the relay. The
present P. N. A. 150 yard back
stroke record is held by George
Schroth of Multnomah club at 1:50.6.
The Pacific coast inter-collegiate
record of 1:55.4 is held by Carl Ste
venson of Stanford who also won
the Golden Gate swim last year.
Anderson has a good chance to
break the roast record in this event,
Ed Abercrombie, Oregon coach, said
yesterday.
Oregon will be represented in the
14n yard free style by Charles Sil
verman, freshman swimmer. Silver
| man has been splashing this distance
in less than six minutes, and should
give George Horsfall of M. A. A. C.
a close race. Horsfall holds the P.
X. A. record of 5:48.
Willis Fletcher should give
Hill Becker, M. A. A. C. present P.
X. A. title holder of the 200 yard
breast stroke, a close race. In a
recent meet between Multnomah club
and Oregon, Fletcher broke the for
mer state record of 2:55 in this
affair, but was defeated by Becker,
who won the race and established
the present record of 2:48.
Frosh-Columbia Mix
Precedes Varsity Go
The University of Oregon fresh
man quintet will play the Columbia
University hoopsters tonight as a
preliminary to the California-Ore
gon championship tilt. This contest
will start at 6:80 with the main go
commencing at 8:00.
The game was arranged when the
editors’ banquet, slated for 6:30,
made it necessary to delay the start
ing of the varsity encounter.

Sports Editor
A BRILLIANT California team
■C*-was too much for the Oregon
quintet last night in McArthur
court, and the
southerners took
the first leg of the
champ i o n 8 h i p
playoff, 35 to 29.
The Golden Bears,
the smallest one
of whom weighed
175 pounds, play
ed a hard and
fast game, de
pending upon
speed and long
shooting for re
westergren suits, and now are
installed as favorites to win their
fourth consecutive coast champion
ship.
The teams vie again tonight. If
the Webfoots win, which is not at
all impossible, the teams will light
it out tomorrow night for the coast
title. Roinhart’s men played great
ball all the way, save for a tempor
ary lapse in the middle of the sec
ond half, which cost them the fra
cas. The turning point of the con
test came after five minutes of the
second period had elapsed. Wester
gren, who had been driving the
Webfoots in their stubborn attack
and defense, was caught committing
his fourth foul, and expelled from
the fracas.
Goodbye, Algot
As Westergren went out, a hush
seemed to settle over the arena, and
the battling lemon-yellow team
sagged. The Californians, ever alert,
seized the opportunity, and before
the Webfoots could rally had shot
themselves into a thirteen point
lead and the ball game. The Bears
might have won with Swede in
there, and probably would for their
shooting was nothing short of un
canny, but Westergren’s going
turned the tide of battle.
When apparently hopelessly out
classed, the Webfoots staged a fight
ing last minute rally, and scored
nine straight points to threaten the
California lead as the game ended.
Their fighting finish left the crowd
at a fever pitch of enthusiasm, and
willing to bet its last pair of carpet
slippers on an Oregon victory to
day. If the Webfoots play like they
did that firht half, and like they
! did the last five minutes, nothing
short of an eclipse of the sun, moon,
and all the stars can stop them to
night.
Lead Ebbs and Flows
The first half was rollicking fast,
with the teams bandying the lead
back and forth, to and fro, with
each successful toss at the hemp.
Six times during that first wild
twenty minutes did the Webfoots
hold the lead, and four times did
the snarling Bears take the whip
hand. Five times the score was
