Ken Nakazawa,
Japanese Poet,
Gives Lecture
Slides of Japan Illustrate
Talks Before Campus
Audiences
Next Speech Scheduled
For Friday Morning
By L. D.
Informally dignified, likeable and
modest, with an attractive person
ality—this is Ken Nakazawa, Jap
anese poet, storv-writer and play
wright, who arrived Wednesday for
a three days ’ stay on the campus
for the purpose of giving illustrat
ed lectures on Japan.
Wednesday at two p. m. he lec
tured on “The Old and New Japan”
before Professor Walter Barnes’
Modern Europe and Asia and the
Pacific classes. In the evening at
the Y. M. C. A. hut, he repeated the
lecture before another group. The
theme of the lectures was based
upon photographic slides, which, as
Mr. Nakazawa himself explained,
pictured “the two Japans, the west
ernized represented by the new type
of public buildings and improve
ments, the old and picturesque by
the shrines, ancient buildings and
other monuments of different na
ture ”
Glimpses of Japanese educational j
improvements, industrial growth and
changing social life vivified by the
fluent descriptions of the speaker
were given. Mr. Nakazawa touched
on the architecture of the old and
the new Japan and brought out the
fact that American architects have
been employed in the building of
the modern, earthquake-proof struc
tures in the large cities. Japanese
import a large amount of “Amer
ican Powder,” which, reasonably
enough, is not face powder, but
wheat flour, he pointed out.
There are at least 47 newspapers
in Tokio alone—a condition which
is radically different from the feudal
times of not many years ago, when
the press was suppressed and the
country was divided up into various
districts, each district having its
own idea of what the papers should
say.
“It has been said that the fast
growing population and the small
size of Japan will mean that Jap
anese will soon be face to face with
starvation. But Japan has a very
large expanse of sea to the north of
her. This sea is well stocked with
fish and one point ranks as one of
the three most important fishing
centers of the world. For this rea
son, I believe that the Japanese
won’t starve for some time,” de
clared Mr. Nakazawa.
Mr. Nakazawa will be remem
bered by many as the special cor
respondent employed by the Port
land News and a magazine to write
up the features of the Toledo Jap
anese trial last summer. But com
pared to the rest of his achieve
ments in writing, this “free-lanc
ing” for newspapers is almost un
important. Many of his rhort stories
and art criticisms have been pub
lished by the leading magazines of
the country. His latest writings are
a collection of Japanese fairytales
and children’s stories. A volume
containing some of these will be out
this spring and another will be out
in August. Harper and Brothers
are the publishers. His plays have
won much favorable notiqfe. An
opera written by him will soon be
presented in Salem.
Mr. Nakazawa will give another
illustrated lecture entitled “The
Foundation of Japanese Art and
Literature,” Friday morning at 8
o’clock, before Mlrs. Barnes’ Asia
and the Pacific class at room 4 Com
merce building.

of business administration, has been
granted a years’ leave of absence
to accept a position in the graduate
school of business administration at
Harvard University during the com

selected by the IJarvard graduate
school of business administration to
teach and to do research work.
The graduate school of business
administration at Harvard operates
nn the same principle as a law
school, according to Dean Bobbins.
A record of actual business cases is
compiled for the study, analysis,
and criticism of the students. Dean
Bobbins will work at compiling such
business cases and during a part
of the year will teach a course in
personnel business administration.
He will also do some research re
garding the relationship of grad
uate and undergraduate schools of
business administration.
Dean Bobbins said that he ex-i
pects to have some new ideas which
will prove of value to the Oregon
business administration department
when he returns in a year.

Eugene Callaghan Discovers New
Oregon Mineral on Field Trip
Finds Fossilized Sea-lion Also at Heceta Head;
Declares Live Sea-lions Best
Columbus discovered America
with his eyes open, but since that
day many explorations have sim
mered down to the confines of the
laboratory where mites too small
for the human eye must be studied
through powerful microscopes with
one eye shut.
On the campus is one who com
bines laboratory and field work. Eu
gene Callaghan, graduate assistant j
in geology, who recently discovered
a new Oregon mineral, did not have j
to quell any ship mutinies. Instead,
he quietly pursued his studies of
the strange element using the blow
pipe, and making micro-chemical
tests, w-hile he observed the reac
tion of the mineral under the mic
roscope. Mr. Callaghan discovered
deposits of this mineral last sum
mer while collecting material for
his master’s thesis.
Makes Exploring Trip
Callaghan’s lone field trip, spiced
freely with adventure, led him along
the Oregon coast for 60 miles. Be
sides his supply of provisions, Mr.
Callaghan carried a handpick for
■figging fossils, a bowie knife, a
can-opener- and a blanket. The
clams which he collected contained
little nourishment since they were
fossilized
An unusual experience on the trip
was the exploration of the sea-lion
eaves at Heceta Head. The ocean
through the erosive action of its
breakers has carvedy out an im
mense cave in the cliffs, about 1200
feet in length and 200 feet high.
In the back of this cave was dis
covered a large fossilized sea-lion
11 feet long and weighing over a
ton. Mr. Callaghan desired to se
cure it as a specimen for the geol
ogy department but was unable to
get it into his knapsack.
The sea-lions here numbered over
two hundred. Their lusty roars re
verberated through the cave com
bining with the roar of fhe sea. Sea
lions are much larger than seals.
Their regular baths help them to
maintain a sleek appearance. On
emerging from the ocean, their long
dripping mustaches give them the
resemblance of one of the Smith
Brothers climbing out of a rain
barrel. It is Mr. Callaghan’s opin
ion that these magnificent animals
will be exterminted like the sea
elephant if the government pur
sues its policy of slaughtering them
to protect the salmon.
Description of Sea-Lions
A sea-lion comes a close second
to the man who can eat peas with
a knife, for the symphony of move
ments in his supple body makes him
the greatest of all jugglers. Mr.
Callaghan said that studying the
young seji-lions was a welcome de
parture from fossils. The young can
be easily domesticated but they gain
weight rapidly and are less safe
than oxen for children to play with.
“The Ileceta Head region with
its agate-bearing beaches, jutting
headlands, and numerous caves will
become one of the playgrounds of
western America when the Roose
velt highway is completed.” said
Mr. Callaghan.
