Day Editor This Issue—Mary McLean Night Editor This Issue—Myron Griffin Assistant Night Editors—Joe Freck Gordon Baldwin THURSDAY, JANUARY 2(1, 1928 Alluring Scholarships Beckon from Abroad A NNOUXCEMKNT8 of alluring foreign scholarships for Ameri can students have come to the Kmerald office this season in un precedented numbers. It may be that, before war clouds gathered over Europe, students had equal opportunities to continue their studies abroad, but the recollection j of that time is dim in this genera- : lion’s mind. •Scholarships being offered are of. all kinds and sizes, to suit all capacities and ambitions. The range of selection for competition is so broad, indeed, that anv intelligent, well-developed graduate with a bent for furthering his intellectual in quiries under the most; attractive conditions possible should iind at least one to intrigue him. It seems so. But tin- facts deny this supposition, for applicants here are rare. Concentration of atten tion on the Hhodes offer is respon sible for a large nreiwmro of tin’ campus awe in which scholarships are held. Competition in this event is always sprightly and candidates are considered a highly selected group and of mental stature away and above their plodding fellows. And, since even these are perforce often disappointed, the campus gen erally refuses to count scholarships among its possibilities. 'I’lie popularity of study at Oxford lias made the University’s repre sentatives first rankers. And it is much to Oregon’s credit that this is so. But that is all the more rea son that Rhodes scholarships shouldn’t receive attention to the exclusion of all the other excellent oilers which, perhaps, are more adaptable to the diverse interests of the general student group. In Dr. ltebec, dean of the gradu ate school, aspirants Iind a wise and sympathetic counselor in the matter of scholarships. Seniors who feel an urge to continue their work, per haps in a more detinite field, and at tin’ same time are disinclined to risk the intellectual stagnation often accompanying graduate work at alma mater, could do no better than to survey the scholarship prospects for next vear. The Stuff Dreams Are Made of ANDY GUMI-, vvc leani, was out of Iiis head for III) days. What a difference there can be in the meaning of “ninety days!” When said by the judge the words have a sinister sound. When they appear on a note for money due, you fon dle each coin with lingering caresses. For Andy it was to dream of golden treason It is dreams to in his coffers, a common thing us lead for day* into fancied ex travagances; fancies -which become so real that we may fairly tingle - with the imagined pleasure.

Soon the chinless wonder was in ! command of an army of one bu llion dollars marshalled ready to inarch and do good in the name of | Sweet Charity. A billion dollars! What a poser -to confront a man accustomed to watch the household accounts for a rise in the price of butter and eggs. To wisely dispose of such a sum is truly a herculean task.
