How to Spend That Summer Vacation? Study at University and Enjoy Oregon Outdoors
Art Courses Fit
Wide Range of
Student Needs
N. B. Zane, K. E. Hudson
Will Give Drawing,
Painting, Life
Tlireo important phases of art
Study appropriate to the needs of
/ summer session students are offered
this year on the University of Ore
gon campus by N. B. Zane, assistant
professor of art.
In this course Professor Zane will
stioss accuracy of good drawing,
beauty of arrangement in composi
tion, and appreciation of artistic
things-already produced, or the cul
tural side of art. The class room
v nrk in drawing begins with the
^ study of simple objects related to
geometric forms. Study of the clubs
develops into drawing of obj. is like
tables, chairs, and boxes. Study of
the cylinder leads to consideration of
wheels, lanterns, Vases and candle
sticks. Tiie study of the sphere is
preparatory to the drawing of fruits
and other round objects.
The course planned is a fundamen
tal introduction to drawing and will'
give the student a good foundation
basis for all serious study of art in
the future. It is taught with par
ticular reference toward usefulness in
the classroom so that teachers will
find it especially helpful, but it is
also of value to all who want to
acquire the fundamentals of r-.a art
education.
To Stimulate Creation
The classroom composition work
will stimulate interest in creative
work by which the student can give
expression to his own ideas of beauty
because ho learns the requisites for
ihe beginning stage of decorating
useful objects. Students literally
, plan designs for surface patterns in
‘ borders, book,- covers, lampshades,
and scarves because they ire learn
■ ing the fundamentals of applied de
sign.
The lessons in art appreciation
have to do with the understanding
of pictures, with what was in the
mind of the artists, both classic and
modern and concern themselves par
ticularly with the common elements
in ail arts. Thus the student, who
works for the understanding of one
art, puts himself at the same time
in position to comprehend and ap
preciate thg beauties in all other
arts, so linking together poetry,
music, painting, drama, dancing,
sculpture, and architecture.
Professor Zone lias been a teacher
in the public schools and has had
first hand experience with the needs
ot teachers. He lias planned this
course with those needs in mind, hut
that does not detract from the in
terest for those who are not teachers.
The summer classes will be held in
the students’ studio on the ground
floor of the art building which is
the regular laboratory for student
\ Students’ Work Displayed
The class work of the winter stu
dents will be featured so that sum
mer students can have the advantage
of seeing just what has been ac
complished in the same line by oth
ers. Interesting examples of student
work, especially in sculpturing and
the crafts, will be on display for the
benefit of summer students and visi
tors.
Courses in painting from still life,
from portrait heads, drawing from
antiques, from living models and
studies in the nude will be some of
the features'taught by Kenneth E.
Hudson, also assistant professor of
r.rt.
Others beside art students will be
interested in Professor Hudson’s
course in the history of painting, a
course in which study of technique
gees hand in hand with training in
appreciation of the work of all
artists who have expressed them
selves by means of pigments.
The course is a history in that it
begins with the development of art
from its infancy in prehistoric times
l and continues the subject up to its
present development. It is a study
ci technique in that it analyzes the
work of the masters to discover how
they solved their problems in hand
ling light and shade and in the pre
sentation of form, as well as in color.
Ancient Art Shown
The art in ancient Egypt, the wall
paintings of Pompeii, and the Byzan
tine mosaics of the early Christian
period will be considered first, but
painting in its modern sense began
with Cimabue and Giotto. Frorfi them
its course of development will be
traced though some thirty of the
great m.asters of the renaissance,
considering especially da Vinci,
Titian, Raphael, and Michelangelo.
After a discussion of the renais
sance period, the course of painting
1 will be followed as it developed in
the different countries of Europe,

President Hall Asks Students
Of Regular Session to Consider
Advantage of 1928 Summer Term
■
Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall
“I desire to take advantage of
this opportunity to invite the at
tention of our regular student
body to the opportunities afford
ed by the summer session. We
hope to improve and develop this
from year to year, bringing to
the campus men of eminence from
other institutions, and giving to
our University community oppor
tunities for new contacts thatwill
be stimulating and helpful.
“We hope that many of, our
resident students will find it pos
sible to attend the summer ses"''.
siun, not only to make up add.!-'
tioual credits or to hasten the day'
of their graduation, but also to:
take advantage of the new con
tacts and the new points of view
which both visiting students and
instructors will bring tQ our sully
mer session. . ■
“I have the feeling that many of us do not yet realize the advantage?
thus afforded. If you will give the matter careful consideration I'aul
sure many will find tnis a real opportunity that ought not to be -neg
lected. In increasing the, attendance from our regular student body;,
we will make possible a still better summer session with still greater,
opportunities for the summers that lie ahead.”
‘‘ARNOLD BENNETT HALL.”
J. Duncan Spaeth
Back This Year
Professor at Princeton Is
Lover of Outdoors
It hardly seems like a regular
summer session at Oregon unless Dr.
J-, Duncan Spaeth, professor of Eng
lish at Princeton, is on the faculty,
•or at least, comes along and delivers
a few of his skilfully-phrased lec
tures. Dr. Spaefh is about as nearly
nn Oregonian as any regular member
of the faculty of Princeton Univer
sity can be. Frequently here in sum
mers, he spent all of last year as
exchange professor at Reed College,
in Portland. The 1938 session will
have the correct feel, as the emin
ent Prineetonian will be on the cam
mis, giving two courses, one in
Shakespeare and the other in the
romantic movement. In both of these
he is an authority of national re
pute.
Students expecting conferences
with Dr. Spaeth are warned to get
in touch with him during the regular
instruction days, unless tliev like to
take their instructor while* tliev
rlimb mountains and hike through
Ihe rough outdoors: for that’s where
this instructor will be on his week
ends aiid holidays. “This Oregon
air is like wine,” he once said, and
he drinks it in (the air) as freely
as opportunity will allow.

passed the hundred mark this year,
with a total of 105. Last vear’s
teaching staff numbered 96. Thirty
seven, or more than a third of the
1928 staff, have attained the rank
of doctor.
While the personnel is considerably
ehanged this year, a glance over the
list of names shows an equally high
number of degrees, earned at lead
ing institutions of higher learning all
over the world. Thirty-seven, or more
than a third of them, have attained
the rank of doctor.

Friendly liall, men ’a hall of resi
dence, Hendricks hall, for womiiu,
and a number of private boardipg
and rooming houses will provide ade
quate living accommodations for the
summer session students.
The rooms in the halls are corrt
pietely furnished and the-'rates. /or
room and board together will be $10
a week; for board alone $8. Board
will be available to a limited num
ber of students who tlo not live at
the dormitories, but rooms will hot
be rented to those not boarding at
the University dining hall. Meals
are served to both men and women
in the (lining room ot Friendly nail.
Friendly hall contains about fifty
five rooms, and Hendricks has ahont
the same number. The latter fyns
rooms for guests and suites for stu
dents. Each suite includes a study,
wardrobe, dressing room, supplied
with hot and cold water, and slC’epi
in? balconies.
Mary Spiller and Thacher cottage-,,
two smaller dormitories, also wjy.be
available fftr women if the registra-,
tion is heavy enough to demand their"
use, for those who wish to be con
veniently located on the campus. i
Suites of rooms, flats in private
houses, and cottages suitable s^pr
light housekeeping may be secured
by writing to Mrs. Charlotte f>oij~
nelly, Y. M. C. A. hut, University
of Oregon, Eugene. Reservation,
for residence in the University halls,
should be addressed to the dea,n of
men or the dean of women, Univer
sity of Oregon, Eugene. •
Many of the fraternity houses
also will be open for the summer°.as
well as a number of faculty mem
bers’ homes, according to Mrs. Don
nelly, secretary of campus housing:
The regular University ruling re
quiring all students to live in ap
proved houses holds good for the
summer session, states Miss Hazel
Prutsinan, summer dean of women.
The correspondence for living
quarters for the summer session has
been quite heavy, but there is always
a good choice since the registration
is much lighter than that of the
regular school year.

Oregon Beauty
Lures Students
To Scenic Spots
Eugene Has Three Sisters;
Portland, Mt. Hood and
River Boat Trip
All will not be monotonous study
and bard work at the Uni .’orsit vtnof
Oregon summer sessions, according
to Dean Alfred Powers, liemj of'jjio
summer school work, who has ptfin
nefl five outdoor excursions for -tho
Eugene students and a number of
outings and picnics for those attend
ing tlie Portland school.
In Eugene M. F. McClain, a mem
ber of the Maznmas, will servo ns
director of recreation and will <bo
freely available to groups of twenty
or more any week-end his services
are desired. lie will help plan ^he
trips and arrange the 'details 'so
nothing will be left for the students
but to enjoy themselves.
Definite arrangements hnvo ,not
boon made as vet for tho five excur
sions but the University is centrally
located among some of Oregon’s fam
ous Scenic, wonders, so this task
should not. prove difficult. A tliyeo
cr four hours’ drive either east or
west will transport one to the lofty
snow-capped peaks of the Cascade
mountains or the sandy beadles of
the Pacific ocean.
Throe Sisters Region Near
About eighty-five miles east of
Eugene lie the Three Sister peaks
rising 10,000 feet above the ieyel
o-/ the sea. Snow mnv bo
found on their sides any time of ‘the
year, and they are the center of
seventeen separate glaciers. Moun
tain climbers will find plenty to
occupy the spare moments in explor
ing these rugged peaks. The Eug
ene Outdoor Club has invited all
students to attend its annual hvo
weeks outing tho first part of Aug
ust in this region. The event will
come just after the six weeks session
is over. '
Crater Lake can be reachedin
half a day and hero can be seen one
of nature’s prize works. Waters,of
indigo blue may be seen in a giant
caldron whoso walls rise precipit
ously from 900 to 2,000 feet abovo
their level. A lava island shoots
out of theso depths and its sl\i}po
suggests its name, tho Phantom Ship.
A road thirty-five miles long rims
this spectacle.
Bandon, Newfport, Seaside, and
Yachats are a -few of tho most pic
turesque beaches accessible to stu
dents. . The famous Roosevelt high
way interlocks I hose sandy pleasure
resorts, and a week-end spent liery is
a highlight of the summer excur
sions. ,
McKenzie River for Fish
The McKenzie highway takes (lie
student from tho Willamette vally
over the Cascade range, which is
a paradise to anyone interested in
outwitting mountain trout. At ,jhe
summit will be found lava beds
weirdly fashioned from molten rpck
millions of years old.
Six or seven hours drive is all
that is required to be able to witness
the elaborate Oregon Caves, located
outside Grants Pass. This natural
phenomena is made up of mafble
chambers, grottoes and long pass
ages leading into the dark recesses
of the earth’s interior.
Around tho campus the milirace
offers an opportunity for picnic ex
cursions, and an abundance of grPen
foliage around Eugene is frequent
excuse for daily trips. A hike to
Spencer’s Butte will undoubtedly bo
included on the list of recreational
outings for the students. This is
one of the numerous short hikes that
may lie taken close in the vicinity of
Eugene. Swimming, tennis, golf,
riding, handball and many other,
local sports will find ample facilities
to accommodate all the students.
Columbia Highway Famous
Portland students, while living in
the environment of a metropolitan
city, will find an abundance of scen
ic wonders to occupy their time. The
Columbia River highway stretches
for !>(i miles out of the city between
cliffs and turbulent waters on Qne
side and the broad Columbia on the
other. Sights that will long be re
membered will be witnessed on this
journey.
A trip down tho Willnmetto River
in a special steamer is one of tho
important features of the Portland
school. The group will start early
one morning down the Willamette
and up the Columbia to Vancouver,
Wash. Orchestra music will provide
dancing entertainment on board tho
boat and a stop will be made about
noon at an island for a picnic lunch.
A whole day will be devoted to tho
excursion.
