He Helped Build
Our Tradition
OCCASIONS when the Emerald
must make note of the passing
of one of the University family arc,
fortunately, very few. Dr. Thorsten
berg’s death deprives the University
of ono of its most distinguished
scholars, and at tho samo blow, of
an almost universal favorite with
undergraduates.
In addition to the excellence of
character and the engaging person
ality that endeared him to his asso
ciates, Dr. Thorstcnberg was a
strong-fibred exponent of a culture
that supersedes the pale imposed by1
races and nations. In leading his
students to a vision of the unity of
tho artistic achievements of man
kind, ho contributed largely to the
tradition of broad tolerance at Ore
gon through many generations of
classes.
Oregon keenly feels the loss of
the man that was Dr. Thovstenbcrg,
but it cannot but rejoice in the
undying tradition which he helped
so well to build.
In the Ring
Under the Main Top
NATIONAL politics are encroach
ing on extra-curriculum activi
ties. Booths and barkers on the
campus, dinner orators in the fra
ternities and sororities—-only tho
suddenness of the nominations drive
has spared the campus a Citizenship
Day.
Student disenfranchisement due
to the toils of legislative rod tape
hus been the cause of much under
graduate clamor all over tho coun
try. Such is the regard for self
government denied. But self-govern
ment pleading, how will it be re
ceived? *
r * # *
Duty, with its attendant swarm
of irksome connotations, is an un
happy word to denote the privilege
of popular participation in govern
ment. There are so many demands
on attention with seemingly more
direct and sharper penalties for
negligence that the nation’s busi
ness wavers precariously on the
margin. It takes a famine or a
front page scandal to link a citizen
with the man he put in charge of
affairs at Washington. And even
then, he will hotly protest that ho
did not elect that maul
# * * *
Students, peculiarly' unafflicted
with limiting demands and political
prejudices, should compose the most
enthusiastic and best informed
voting group in the country.
If they havo taken any stock in
tho oratorical commonplace — that
they are the backbone of demo
cracy’s future—it’s high time the
backbone was gently being seasoned
in to its load.
Get Rid of Hazing
In Initiations
THE inter-fraternity council reso
lution condemning flic use of
all forms of liuziug and “rough
house” methods in the initiation of
*new ,members is a measure, that'
should bo adopted by the Oregon
'fraternities.
The argument, advanced by some
supporters of the antiquated prac
tices of “hell week,” that the
hazing stunts serve to test the
metal of the neophyte, his willing
ness to do as he is told, and to de
termine his fitness for membership
in the organization, is woefully
weak. It is but the result of ration
alizing in an attempt to retain the
element of senseless and oftentimes
dangerous horse-play which sober
analysis reveals as being utterly use
less as a means of improving tho fra
ternity product.
A man’s truo qualifications for
membership in the fraternity are de
termined by the manner in which his
personality, his intellectual and his
physical qualities enable him to meet
the specific requirements of the
group. A short period of intense
hazing and “roughhousc” tactics will
not accomplish in a few hours what
months of attention has failed
to do.
The inclusion of practices of
hazing in initiations is rapidly fall
ing into disuse all over the country.
Oregon fraternities will do them
selves proud it' they will join tho
main body of the parade and not
wait to bring up the rear with the
stragglers. —W. C.
The non-collegiato world is but
partly right in its belief that the
decoration of the college students’
slickers is motivated by a desire for
display. Such may have been the
original motive, but sad to say, tho
practice bus become one of defense
agulnst the unscrupulous persons
who refuse to respect the property
of others. Last night’s light- rain
was marked by the theft of several
slickers from campus buildings.
Seemingly, only the ending of tho
rainy weather can stop the stealing
of raincoats. —W. 0.
6Spoon River Anthology’ Opens
Repertoire Week at Guild Theatre
By ALICE GORMAN
Edgar Lee Waster’s ' Spoon River
Anthology” as presented l>y Miss
Florence Wilbur's elans in Speaking
Voice las! night at Guild Theatre,
opened the first annual week of
dramatic repertoire at the Univer
sity of Oregon. It is a tremendous
undertaking, but Wiss Wilbur has
essayed big projects before this,
tarrying them through to success,
and this experiment, judging from
the first night's audience, will but
be vet another achievement for
her.
One by one, in a long, long line,
tho souls of men came back to earth,
and assumed again for a moment
the forms of life. A few wefc out
standing. us in tho very lives that
they represented. Isabel Murray,
as Margaret Fuller Black, the wo
man who was going to write novels,
like George Eliot, and then had
light children, and didn't have
time, was uuqquestiouubly the most
startling success of the pr'grain.
Margaret Fuller Slack suddenly eau">
| alive undot Miss Murray’s discorn
' ing intorpretation.
Frank Jackson may come in for
will merited praise also. He might
have stepped from an old tin dnug
erotvpo to say in solemn tones, with
i one in hand, "and derby in crook
of bended arm, ‘'She loved mo!”
Edna Assenheimer us his not to-bo
dcceivod wife was no less an ex
cellent character sketch.
Harriet Hawkins never disap
points us with her interpretations
ami excellent stage voice. l«ast
night was no exception to that rule.
She is a young actress of unusual
talent and ability. Hard Moody and
Edith Pearson as -Doc Hill and Hes
sian Hon la deserve mention too, as
being somewhat outstanding in their
< huractcrirations.
The staging and lighting effects
are all important to "Spoon River
Anthology,” and Miss Wilbur’s
good tochuii|ue carried out both
wry sympathetically. Wo are of
the opinion lliut this class in speak
sug voice promises some very do
turuldo material for Guild Theatre
ole vers of rhe future.
In memoritun to Dr. Edward
Thorstenburg, the Seven Beers
column has been cancelled to

Ab Lawrence Chosen
To Design Bookplate
For Emerald Award
Ab Lawrence, the well known
campus artist who was in charge of
decorating for the Senior Hall, has
been chosen to design the bookplate
which will distinguish the Emerald
Award library. The selection was
made on tho recommendation of a
major professor by the committee
charged with tho administration of
the newly instituted scholarship in
The dignity of the learning tra
dition, vitaliaeid with the impatient
curiosity of young intellectual ex
plorers, must be felt in the design,
Mr. Lawrence said. It must go
farther than scholasticism until it
touches the romance of the human
struggle for truth.
The Emerald Award, consisting of
about $50 worth of books of the
winner’s choosing enhanced by the
specially created bookplate, was an
nounced last week as representing
the gift of an anonymous donor. It
will go to the student who is judged
to havo achieved most in scholarship,
irrespective of grades, by a com
mittee headed by Dr. C. V. Boyer
of the English department.
Students eligible for the award
must have the sanction of their
major school or department to do
honors work. Dr, Boyer or the Em
erald will give any information re
quested by students seeking the gift.
