Senior Class
Largest Ever
About 550 Degrees to be
Granted in June,
Says Pallett
This year’s senior class has some
thing in common with many of the
senior classes before it—it is the
largest ever graduated from the
University. Estimate* of the regis
trar's office place tliu total number
cf students receiving degrees in
June at about 550. This figure com
fortably surpasses that of last year
when 481 degrees were granted.
These figures include all undergrad
uate and graduate degrees, both
here and in tiro Portland Medical
school.
A glance at the records reveals
the steady growth of the University.

(Starting with 1912, the first year
that accurate statistics were kept,
Hie books show a total of 137 de
grees granted. Each sueeecctifig year
shows a larger figure until 1910.
Something happened in 1910. The
record isn’t very clear, but it is
believed that same changes wore
made in the curriculum diverting stu
cb nt.s wishing to study some special
fields to other schools.
Beginning with 1910, five con
secutive senior idasses suffered the
ignominy of not being the largest
ever graduated. The class of 1921
was the first to pass the 212 mark
reached years earlier by the class of
1915. Since then only one class lias
faltered, the class of 1924.

The University seems finally to
have hit its stride and is now gradu
ally increasing the number o£ de

prospects are that never more will
a senior class be forced to hide its

Ardino Blair. In addition to this
cast, Miss Martha Hill is supplying
about twelve advanced people from
Orchcsus for the dancing fairies,
and Madame McGrow is training a
number of her most advanced sing
ers for the vocal parts. Every re
maining available member of the
dramatic department will be used
in the elaborate court scenes, for
Amazonian and Athenian attend
ants, soldiers, etc.
Story Summarized
The story and its presentation is
worthy of a light sketching here.
Theseus, Duke of Athens, defeated
the powerful tribe of Amazons,
fighting women, with Hippolyta
their queen. Theseus then brought
Hippolyta across the Agean sea to
his own Athens to marry her. Down j
the old mill race will come the beau- !
tiful gondola, which is being de- '
signed by Floyd Hunk, carrying;
Theseus and Hippolyta and their at
tendants, who will land at the stage,
which is to be elaborately set to
represent Athens. In this scene,
Fgeus comes before the duke to
plead the right of the law that his
daughter, Hennia, will marry the
suitor of his choice, Demetrius, in
stead of her lover Lysander, or else
become a nun or die. Rather than J
bow down to this terrible decision,
Ilermia and Lysander plan to escape 1
to Lysander’s aunt, where they may i
marry.
Betrayal Scene
Helena, who is in love with Dome- 1
trius, who is in turn in love with
Ifermia, thinking to gain Demetrius’
love, betrays the lover's plans to De
metrius, and there begins the fa
mous Shekespearean love-tangle. The
fairies enter the plot, and Oberon,
feeling sorry for the spurned Hel
ena, instructs his fairy, Puck, to
drop a love potion on the eyes of
the Athenian, so that when he
awakens, the first person he will
see (meaning Helena) will become
the object of his love. I’uck makes
the awful mistake of dropping the
love-potion in Lysander’s eyes, and
there begins the trouble. Titania
and Oberon have had a falling out
over the little challauging boy, and
so Titania, too, is administered the
love-potion and becomes enamoured
of an ass. When all has finally been
straightened out and each has his
own true love, they are all welcomed
and blessed by the duke, and the
beautiful fantasy ends with a dance
of the fairies.

one year with the class in which
she started. In 1877-78, when

sity.
‘ ‘ There were very few teachers
at that time,” Mrs. Edmundeon
laughed, ‘‘but wo had some who
became famous later on. Mrs.
Spilier was one of my instructors.
I noticed that they had named one
of the halls after her. Professor
Condon was another instructor and
Professor Johnson was president at
that time.
‘‘I never finished here,” she
continued. “ L only went one year
and then we left for Idaho. I in

I didn’t. Our trip to Idaho cer

Mrs. Edmundson is the mofher of
three children, all of whom are
graduates of the University of
Idaho. The name of one son, C. S,
Edmundson, is well known to all
followers of sport under the title
of “Hec” Edmundson, coach of
track and basketball at the Uni
versity of Washington, second son,
W. C. Edmundson, is superinten
dent of the government farms in
Colorado, while a daughter, Mrs.
Winifred Chamberlain, makes her
home in New York State. Mrs.
Edmundson still lives at Moscow,
Idaho, where she has made her
residence since leaving Eugene.
This is Mrs. Edmondson’s second
visit' to the University of Oregon
since 1878, the occasion of the first
visit being the world’s fair display
in Seattle in 1909. She is staving
with Mrs. Frank Bond, 123G Agate
street, for the duration of her visit
in Eugene.
