Fight! Fight! —
On the Field of English
FACETIOUS proposals aplenty
have been made to recognize the
brainy even as the brawny in inter
collegiate competition. Now , Mrs.
William Lowell Putnam has ftctually
stepped up to Harvard University
with $125,000 promotion money for
just such affairs.
The first intellectual meet has
been scheduled between Yule and
Harvard. In the first event tire op
posing ten-man teams will battle for
three and a half hours on the field
of English literature. Arrangements
are being completed for contests of
like character between other schools,
since the use of the fund is in no
way restricted to Harvard exclu
sively.
It appears, indeed, that making
tho intercollegiate examination team
may be more sought after than tho
vnrsity grid squad, for each member
of the winning combination will re
ceive, in addition to a medal of
honor, five hundred dollars worth
». of books. With such incentive, a
strong turnout is anticipated.
• It is not outside the bounds of
] probability to hope that Mrs. Put
nam’s inspiration may even estab
lish a drift of sentiment which will
prove a solution to the tyrannous
sway of King Football—and this all
bosido the primary purpose.
At any rate, the collegiate world
needs the counterbalance which Mrs.
Putnam is instituting. The. Emerald
expects to see it spin less lopsidodly
on its axis in the future beciwiso of
this innovation.
The granting of a research fellow
ship to Ur. Huger Williams, of the
chemistry department, is an addi
tional recognition of the high qual
ity of the University touching staff.
Frequent recognition of a univer
sity’s instructors implies recogni
tion of the institution. Oregon is
coining to be widely recognized as a
university of high standing and
achievement.

Traditions or
Arbitrary Rules?
BUT six days intervene before
the coming of Junior Week-end,
the spring playtime for the campus,
at the head of the list of traditional
events for the celebration are the
tug-of-war and the burning of the
green caps.
• A thought held by many, and one
which is ,difficult tp deny, is that
bunmig the caps has come to bo
more of a tradition than wearing the
bits of felt. How much of a display
of force is necessary to persuade the
froshuK'n to throw the frosh lid into
the flames? How much force must
be exerted to make, them wear the
insignia of first-year men?
Oregon is proud of her traditions.
A real tradition is something of
which to be proud, an heirloom
i from times and generations in the
past. Traditions have a way of
keeping themselves alive. They do
not subsist on force. Seriously, is
the wearnig of green caps a tradi
tion or merely an arbitrary rule?
The wearing of the frosh lid is not
a hardship. .Most Oregon men go
without hats or caps from prefer
ence. The experiment of allowing
the next class of freshmen do as
they please about wearing the bit
of green might be tried with prob
ably as much success as the present
inefficient strong-arm method.

SKKW SFERP
ffltom Our look Nook
Conducted by Arden X. Pangborn
No subject is so much in need of
an accurate and authoritative treat
ment as that of immigration. Bo
much has been written and spoken,
in the midst of bitter contention,
for which there was little basis save
that of ignorance or prejudice that
the average citizen and student ;
finds himself bewildered.
It will prove refreshing to any
one interested in tho subject of im
migration to delvo into the pages
of “Immigration Crossroads” by
Constantino Panunzio, professor of
economics at 'Whittier eollege and
former momber of the faeulty of
Willamette university.
The book is an extraordinary,
piece of analytical writing on a
highly controversial subject, and
demonstrates clearly the wealth of
experience and study which the
author has been able to jommand in
its preparation. It will prove of
particular interest to those who read
r. Panunzio’s former volume “The
Soul of an Immigrant,” for they
will be familiar already with the
background which he has for thia
work.
Dr. Panunzio, a nativo of Italy,
landed in Boston when he was 18
years old, with 50 cents in his pock
ets. By persistent effort he was
able to take degrees from Wesleyan
university and Boston university.
He has been engaged in educational
work for the past eight years, with
liberal time Bpent in studying immi
gration problems in the east. The
author understands both tho view
point of tho immigrant and that of
tho native American. He admits a
strong sympathy for the- immigrant
because of his own experience, but
his real purpose has been to pre
sent the truth as ho found it rather
than to engage in any sort of pro
paganda on behalf of the foreign
born.
His analysis is searching. After
reviewing America’s immigration
policies from tho beginning and
pointing out their effect on Euro
pean peoples, he concludes that the
present policy is eharged with trag
l^y*lnf«r%ecwmr’ot''^nfayprable re
action^ oh international relations
and because of the unfavorable 'ef
fect on a largo portion of our for
eign born population. Late amend
ments have not only worked to de
feat their own ostensible . purpose
but have done actual harm, ho
thinks.
Dr. Panunzio's plea is for a
broader understanding of the ques
tion and a better solution than the
present one. The student of immi
gration will not have the basis for
a well-roundod opinion unless he
has road “Immigration Crossroads.”
It represents a logical viewpoint—
a viewpoint which must gain fur
ther attention and in the end have
a marked influence in shaping our
future immigration policies.
