Student Contest Turns
Into Teacher Quiz
“I have troubles enough without
lotting the public gape at the re
sults of my lectures.” Ho com
plained a Yale English professor the
other day as some of his students
set out to maul Harvard in a three
hour skirmish on the field of Eng
lish literature.
Ten men, the brainiest repre
sentatives of their colleges, com
posed each of' the teams who com
peted for the prize of $5000 in
books to"'go to the successful com
bination. The contest was the first
of what is to be an annual affair
in response to the $125,000 gift to
Harvard of Mrs. William Lowell
Putnam for this express purpose,
with ag end to arousing intercolleg
iate scholarly competition.
There was considerable attention
given the meet in tlie press and it
was almost entirely in a mood of
skeptical humor. But, according to
the report a great amount of under
graduate enthusiasm attended the
unique battle, from Beowulf to
Thomas Hardy in extent. And inso
far as this interest holds, Mrs. Put
nam’s idea is psychologically sound.
It only awaits the prestige which
age will bring to it.
Strangely enough, tin4 professors
demurred more than anyone else
The demeanor of the Yale peda
gogue quoted is characteristic. From
their viewpoint, such a use of divine
learning borders on sacrilege.
Mrs. Putnam apparently (fid not
see this aspect of the college situa
tion at all; she was interested in
directly stimulating attention to
studies. But she has done belter
than she knew. She has strength
ened a professional bugabear until it
is threatening to bite the professors.
Pome !o think of it, a public review
of what is being taught in the class
rooms seems an eminently health
ful development.
This sally of the brainy into the
territory previously sacred to the
brawny is not the last of its kind.
It is a growing idea that squares
nicely with the current criticisms of
cloistered education. And, as it is
turning out, it may be more valu
able as a quiz on comparative teach
ing quality than as a student activ
ity.
A Rubber Stamp
Without a User
The Eugene chapter of the Daugh
ters of the American Revolution has
i branded itself as a group of women
of courage and open minds. Be
cause of tliis, it will no doubt be the
object of much disapprobation as
news of its conduct spreads to the
other chapters of the organization.
Censored by the national presi
dent of the I). A. R. for not pre
venting the appearance of Judge
Bt‘ii Lindsay and Kirby Page be
fore audiences of University and
‘townspeople, the Eugene chapter
countered with a letter defending
Iheir back of action in the specific
instances and protesting the issu
ance of the now famous “blacklist/1
Inquiries concerning the protest
have been received since it. was is
sued several weeks ago, resulting
Friday in a decision to send copies
of the letter to all D. A. R. chap
ters in Oregon- and Washington.
The local chapter was the only
one in the United States to voice
disapproval of the blacklist which
is a reminder of the war-time hys
teria that resulted in bans of all
tilings suggestive of German origin
or culture.
A peace-time ban can not lie ex
pected to operate with the efficien
cy of one made in times of strife,
(■allege presidents, authors, and re
ligious leaders are more likely to*l>e
listened to by audiences incapable
of passing judgment on what they
have to say, after being blacklisted
than before. The local audiences
that heard Judge Lindsay and Kirby
I'age were by no means entirely won
over to the views of either speaker,
a circumstance which should not be
peculiar to this particular vicinity.
The blacklisting activities of the
national 1 >. A. lb calls to mind “Big
Bill Thompson’s campaign to free
Chicago from the spell of British
propaganda and the one hundred
peiventedness of the K. K. K. Our
sympathies are mith the Eugene
chapter in its refusal of the rubber
stamp role.

Tossed and Tumbled in Classes;
Now Sleeps Well
Mel Quartette, freshman in busi
ness ad has won nation-wide public
ity for himself and the University
through his letter of testimony and
picture which arc appearing in the
latest Fleischman Yeast Company
advertisements.
“I was completely run down;
couldn’t sleep in classes, found my
self unconsciously taking notes dur
ing lectures, did my duties around
the fraternity house, in fact I just,
wasn’t myself. I started taking
yeast a while ago and now I am fine.
Tn fact I sleep so soundly while I
sleep that 1 have, found it possible
to drop a course that comes at
11:00.”

‘‘You’re spooning around here as

final encore she remarked: “My,!

John Weston, plays opposite Miss

REX: Last day—“COME TO MY
HOUSE.” “Come To My House”
envelopes exquisite settings, lovely
clothing, a more or less conventional
plot, and a girl who was beautiful
at times.
Olive Borden has possibilities as
an actress if She would stop posing
99 and 44-100 per cent of the time
and think to keep her lips closed at
least in three or four close-ups.
Antonio Moreno was capable as
the architect in this story of a
girl who was indiscreet in defying
convention on one occasion and
spent the rest of the picture paying
the price for her defiance. Arthur
Somers Koclie wrote a novel which
had quite a good, deal of local color
and more suspense in It. 'Part of
this was transferred to the soreen.
The program was completed by a
Van Bibber comedy called ”T-bone

the Vatican and its marvelous art
treasures in a Fox variety film.

'THOMPSON,” the, story of a girl I
caught as;a victim of circumstance
trying to go ■,straight. With the
sUpifb'rf"of RSfjuT'Walsh and Lionel
Barrymore, she admirably . -wins out.
'It is another picture of the glorious
Gloria in a daring adaptation <*f the j
widely discussed and read story by
W. Somerset Maugham, which cre
ated a sensation as ’’Rain” on the
stage, and hailed by the critics as
the greatest screen characterization
any star has created.
The picture starts out with a good
combination of humor and vigor and
steadily gains Jn interest^ with a
smashingly heavfy climax. It is a
picture worth seeing because it
gives a good presentation of the tri- :
umphant success of a girl over her
apparent trouble. As Sadie herself
expresses: “Life is a quaint present !
from somebody.”

Bentlemen:
This morning I had a smoking ad
renture worth recording.
Next to me in the smoking car a
;entleman was puffing his pipe con
;entedly. I was not smoking at the
noment, and the aroma of his tobacco
ntrigued me exceedingly. For twelve
fears I had smoked Edgeworth with
out being tempted by any other brand,
out the fragrance emanating from the
jipe of the gentleman beside me was
•o agreeable that I could not resist
(he temptation to speak of it.
“That is wonderfully fragrant to
jacco you have there,” I remarked.
(“Would you mind telling me the name
jf it?”
“It is Edgeworth,” he answered.
We then congratulated each other
*pon our mutual good taste, and I
decided that I would continue to use
ais brand and mine. .

When Dad was a* “Modem Youth”
(j A ICYCLES, stereopticon lectures,
p and the ‘‘gilded” youths wi h
their horses and carts; at night t. e
midnight oil burning in student
lamps while the gas lights glared and
flickered across the campus—the gay
nineties when Dad was in college
seem primitive to us to-day.
Now it’s sport roadsters, the

the Mazda lamp replaces
the midnight oil in dormi

street lighting ' sheds its friendly
glow over the campus. {
I Without elearicity we would
have none of these a improve

invention becomes to-morrow’s
accepted utility. In the coming
years, by taking advantage of new
uses of electricity you will be
able to go so much farther
that the “tearing twenties”!
