Professor Barnes
To Receive Year’s
Leave; Will Travel
Plans To Visit Canada and
Eastern States; May
Visit Europe
Walter C. Barnes, professor of
history, will receive a year’s sab
batical leave of absence from his
faculty duties, starting at the
close of the summer session this
fall, he announced yesterday. Ac
companied by his wife and daugh
ter, he will make a trip through
Canada to western New Jersey,
where he plans to remain at least
until the end of the fall at his
mother’s farm. His subsequent
plans depend largely upon the
state of Mrs. Barnes’ health.
This summer he will spend in
Portland as a member of the Port
land summer school faculty.
It is possible, Professor Barnes
reports, that he may be able to
spend a few months in Europe
studying modern history and in
working on his unfinished book on
modern Russia.
Carl Landerholm of Portland, a
graduate of Harvard, will teach
Professor Barnes’ course in Mod
ern Europe during his absence.
Landerholm received his master’s
degree from Oregon last year.
Bossing To Leave
For Conferences
Education Teacher Will
Speak at Seabeck
Nelson L. Bossing, associate
professor of education, will leave
the first part of June to attend a
Y. M. C. A. conference, and later
a Y. W. conference at Seabeck,
Washington. Dr. Bossing is chair
man of the executive committee of
the Pacific Northwest Field Coun
cil of the Y. M. C. A., and is to
speak before the conference and
conduct a discussion group on
problems of religion. He also
plans to take a group of students
through a thoroughgoing series of
tests in vocational counselling dur
ing the conferences.
As soon as the conferences are
over, about June 25, Dr. Bossing
will go to Vancouver, B. C., where
he will join the University cruise
to Hawaii. He will teach state
and territorial administration and
organization during the cruise and
at the University of Hawaii.
Do You Plan To Make Phi Bete
Then Sit in Front Row, Say Statistics
Front row seats in University
classrooms count more than high
school grades or native intelli
gence toward Phi Beta Kappa if
figures do not lie. For from a list
of pledges of Phi Beta Kappa and
Sigma Xi, and from the winter
term honor roll, 113 are listed
whose names begin with letters in
the first half of the alphabet. Only
43 qualify from the last half.
That many professors seat their
classes alphabetically, with the
l A’s first and the Z’s in the chilly
draft by the back window, is giv
en as the reason by those who
know. The front rows do get the
grades, for the B’s led with 22 fa
vored students, and the H’s are
next with 17. The first five let
ters have one-third of the Phi
Betes and honor-rollers.
And it works all the way along
the rows, for when each is weight
ed by its distance from the divid
ing line, M-N, the front row schol
ars fill their seats with 839 count
ers. The outer darkness has too
many cuts, for there are only 271
marked.
Figures are not available for
those who sit near the doors.

MAKES SECOND CLASS
Old Foes To Meet on Local
Diamond Friday for
Third Game
Oregon State’s baseball team
walked heavily on the Webfoots
yesterday taking a one-sided
struggle at Corvallis 10 to 1.
Reynold MacDonald started on
the mound for the Ducks, but was
pulled out in the second frame af
ter the Beavers had tallied four
runs. Dave Bloom succeeded him
and breezed along until the sev
enth without allowing any runs to
come in. However, in the seventh
Oregon State scored three runs
and again in the eighth they add
ed a similar number to their total
although they had no need for
them.
Brown hurled for the Orange
men and after allowing the Web
foots to score one run in the first
inning, he became air tight.
Oregon has lost two games to
the Staters. They will meet the
Beavers in the third game of the
series here Friday afternoon. The
game will start at 2:30 on Rein
hart field. The final game of the
series and also the last on Ore
gon’s schedule for the season will
be staged at Corvallis Saturday.
Two To Take Final
Exams For M. A.
Four Education Students
Take Master’s Prelims
Paul Menegat and Gerald Jen
sen, graduate students in the
school of education, will take their
final examination for master’s de
grees next week.
“State and City Procedures for
Character Education in Public
Schools” is the thesis recently
completed by Mr. Menegat. “Ob
jective Test Covering Certain
Problems in Secondary Education”
was written by Mr. Jensen in
preparation for his degree.
Preliminary examinations for
master’s degrees in education were
taken by three women and one
man in Portland last Saturday.
They were Mrs. Mildred D. Hickey,
Mrs. Lucy B. Copenhaver, Mrs.
George Gerlinger, and J. W. Leon
hart.
Military Uniforms
Being Returned
$2600 To Bp Refunded to
Student Soldiers
If all of the 520 uniforms that
were issued by the R. O. T. C. at
the first of the school year
are returned intact, the stu
dents who have been takirig
the basic course will be just $2,600
richer. Each student deposits $5
when he draws out his uniform
and has the fee redeemed when
he returns his suit at the end of
the spring term. Each suit is val
ued by the government at $12.H8.
These suits will not be used
again next year, but will be
shipped to some army depot this
summer, as new uniforms will be
supplied for next year's cadets.

Soloist, Assisted by ’Cello
Artist in Program
By JACKSON D. BUKKE
An interesting and well-balanced
recital was presented last night
by Margaret Simms, mezzo so
prano, assisted by Roberta Spicer,
'cellist.
Four groups were presented by
Miss Simms, a pupil of Arthur
Boardman, constituting an admir
able program which brought out
the unusually beautiful quality of
her voice. The soloist was accom
panied by Harold Ayres.
An interesting part of last
night’s program was taken by
Miss Spicer. This very talented
Eugene high school girl displayed
remarkable technique in her play
ing of “Berceuse” by Jarnefelt,
and she provided the background
to one of the evening’s high spots
with her obligato to Miss Simms’
rendition of Tschaikowsky’s “Nur
wie die Sehnsucht Kennt.”
Miss Simms displayed a wide
range of training in the complete
program which included several
modern airs as well as the heavier
renditions of Brahms and Monte
verde.

Dean of Women Plans
To Study for Doctor’s
Degree at California U.
Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall Expresses
Regret at Resignation
Mrs. Esterly's Work Attracted Much Notice
From Other Institutions; Was Officer in
National Deans’ Association
A/fllS. VIRGINIA JTJDY ESTERLY, dean of women, an
nounced her resignation, to take effect nt tho end of the
school year, yesterday.
Mrs. Esterly, for seven years dean of women at the Uni
versity, plans to study for her doctor's degree, probably at the
University of California, where she received her 13.A. in 1923,
and her master of arts in 1930.
She came to the University as dean of women in 1923, and
except for the last school year, when she travelled and did re
search work in Europe, she has been on the campus.
<
Resigns!
Virginia Judy Estcrly, whoso
resignation yesterday from the
post of dean of women, which she
has held for the past seven years,
came as a distinct surprise to the
student body. She plans to study
for her doctor’s degree at the
University of California next year.
Gallery Displays
Student Drawings
Plans Made I»y Classes in
Architecture Shown
Architect’s drawings by both be
ginning and advanced students of
architecture are now being dis
played in the student art gallery
of the school of architecture and
allied arts. The plans of Kenton
Hamaker, senior in architecture,
for the hotel to be erected by Gor
don Strong, a famous engineer, on
the summit of Sugar Loaf moun
tain in Maryland, are being ex
hibited before they are sent to
Mr. Strong the last of the season.
Problem plans by the following
students are on display: David
Bloom, Wilbur Bushnell, John
Gatlin, Edward Green, Edward
Hicks, Robert O. Keiser, Evelyn
Kjosness, Louis Lamb, Clair Mei
sel, Robert Otto, Elizabeth Pen
nock, Amy Porte r, Millard
Schmeer, and Oscar Turner.
[ Mrs. Esterly has had a very in
teresting career as an educator.
She taught in St. Mary’s. Shang
hai, China, from 1906 to 1909, and
later returned to this country. Her
thesis for her master’s degree was
on the history of the education of
women in Denmark, and in her
work for her Ph.D. which she is
planning she will extend this to a
study of the history of women’s
education in all the countries of
the Scandanavian region, with
some reference also to the modem
trends in Denmark. In her recent ,
trip to Europe she did consider
able studying in Denmark, Nor
way, Sweden, and Finland, and
will use much of the material she
gathered for her work On her doc
tor’s degree.
Mrs. Esterly Praised
The high quality of Mrs. Ester
ly’s educational work has been
recognized both on this campus
and at the University of Califor
nia. She is a member of a large
number of honor societies and fra
ternities, including Mortar Board,
Kwama, Pi Lambda Theta, and
Alpha Kappa Delta, all of which
have chapters on the Oregon cam
pus, and Prytanean. She is a
member of Alpha Omicron Pi, so
cial sorority.
“Mrs. Esterly’s resignation was
received by the University admin
istration with deep regret,” said
Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall, presi
dent. “She wishes to take advan
tage of her recent travels as an
aid to obtaining her advanced de
gree, and we felt it would be un
just to insist she stay here and
deprive her of this opportunity.
“Her work as dean of women
has attracted a great deal of fa
vorable attention from other edu
cational institutions, and particu
larly from the American Associa
tion of Deans of Women, of which
she was an officer.”
Mrs. Esterly has two daughters,
Josephine, who is a student in
medicine at the University of Cali
fornia, and Virginia, who is at
tending Eugene high school.
Takes Master’s Exam
Miss Elizabeth Bradway, grad
uate student in chemistry, took
her master’s examination at 2
o’clock yesterday afternoon. Her
thesis is “The Concentration of
Wildier’s Bios."
Many Attend Amphibian Meet
Kaahea’s Singing Features Gala Affair
The singing of Henry Kaahea,
and Mildred Wharton, with the
uke and guitar accompaniment,
was probably the best part of the
annual Amphibian demonstration,
that is of the serious portion of
it. The school for beginners in
swimming was presented with a
few new angles to it, and drew
the greatest laughs from the
crowd.
The Hula Hula girls, Clara
Maertens and Winifred Schoon
maker, made quite a hit with their
graceful typical Hawaiian dancing.
Decorations for the event last
night consisted of black silhouettes
of a rocky coast, and palm trees.
Barbara Mann and Alberta Rives
were in charge of the decorations.
The Hawaiian music—songs, and
guitar and uke, and guitar duets—
were very beautiful with the mys
tic touch of the tropical in them.
Pauline Kidwell made an admir
able swimming teacher, giving her
directions, one at a time, to her
pupil. They were compiled in an
issue of the Saturday Evening
Post, and the teacher evidently
couldn't read very well, as she had
