Serious Frivolity TO PREACH or dissertate upon a subject of sage seriousness at a time such as this when the mind of the reader is filled with radical excitement and fervor of the approaching combat to be held at Portland this week-end is both unnecessary and frightfully un called for. To calmly attempt to pump bits of solemn advice into the altruistic student is out out until the present few days of frivolity have come to an end. We are glad, overjoyed, and filled with gratitude over the ex cellent show of enthusiasm displayed by students over the Wash ington-Oregon game. We are even more pleased and even aston ished at the hearty support citizens of Portland are showing and the preparations being made for Oregon’s reception. With Portland primed and the Webfoots loaded for huge sled dogs—how can some thing keep from happening? In the fun and gaiety promised for this week-end, why not instill in it a spirit of serious-frivolity? Remain conscious of two things throughout the visit to the northern city. Remember, two things hamper your personal liberty. 1. Organized support of Oregon’s boosting spirit. Be at the rally tonight without fail. Unite with your classmates to serpen tine to Multnomah stadium Saturday at 12:30. Cheer your heartiest in the rooters’ section. 2. Each individual is representing the University of Oregon and his living organization. Reputations other than his own arfe at stake. Make Portland welcome future Oregon games and let them profit by our visit. Maintain a gentlemanly and womanly conduct. Classroom—A Criminal Court AMONG peculiar and unconventional methods of classroom in ■ struction successfully tried by educators who are constantly seeking- new and modern means of imparting knowledge in the higher institution is that inaugurated at Rollins college, a school of only 400 students. Dispensation of what was deemed trite and out-of-date teach ing methods and substitution of a theory designed to shift the forms of responsibility from the faculty and administration to the students has been instituted because it is the belief of the college officials that young people will really accept responsibility and carry it well. We are intensely interested in this movement which has sprung from this little school. We admire their aim and believe that their ideas ought to be considered seriously by the other leading edu cators of the present day. Of peculiar interest is the manner in which the Rollins officials select their teachers. They have concentrated their attention on improved methods of teaching. An applicant for a Rollins position will be rejected, regardless of extensive education, unless he is the type of person who may work with the students rather than above them. This point, in fact, is the foundation of their system. Nothing revolutionary, we might say, but merely a common sense move which dispenses with the feeling of subordination a student carries in the classroom of many of today’s institutions. Rollins officials “thumbs down’’ on the lecture and recitation methods. A student, they say, in such a class will feel he is doing his ultimate duty in making a pretense at writing a few notes and paying a certain degree of attention to the lecturer who stands at the head of the class and shouts a series of words in hopes that the student may grasp one or two as he passes by. For the instructor to remain quiet in a room allowing students to discuss topics which have been presented to them, now and then answering a question one may have raised, presents a favorable departure from many present methods, in advocation of such a system it is obviously impossible to apply it to other than certain adaptable classes or subjects. in regard to the present lecture ami recitation methods, Ham ilton Holt has expressed an opinion on the Hollins Idea in an article in a current issue of "The Nation.” Ho declares: “The lecture system seemed to me to be a failure because under it students are regarded as so many passive objects into which a professor pours information for an hour two or three times a week ami then asks lot certain amounts <>t it back in periodical examinations. Neither the professor nor the student needs to be more than half awake tor the process to go on . . . the professor may regard it as a necessary evil in the way of his pet occupation of research or writ ing, the student feels that it he fills his seat ami makes some show of taking notes he is doing his part. "Almost as completely a failure, it seemed to me, had been the iec Ration system under which the teacher acts as inquisitor ami murks ot gtades the student on his ability to answer occasional questions on material he has been assigned to study by himself. Iht student needs the teacher s help, not when he has learned or f tiled to learn his assignment, lint during the process ot' learning Under the recitation system as practiced in most colleges the class room becomes a sort of criminal court where the teacher as judge, prosecutor, and detective attempts to find out, often unsuccess fully, whether or not the student has mastered his lesson, and the student is mainly interested in creating a good impression, by bluff ing or otherwise." “Godfrey Shoots Reporting Class" headline in Thursday's Em erald.

A Decade Ago From The Emerald, Oet. 17, 1920 Oregon-Princeton debate will be held during Christmas vacation.

Deady Has Rare Collections Hid On Upper Floor “Specimen hunters” are often speaking of the skulls, bones, and other wierd articles found under neath Deady hall, but we do not hear much about the specimens to be found on the top story of the University's oldest building. Per haps after plodding up five flights of stairs the “hunter” is too ex hausted to observe the display. While climbing up these stairs we smell strange, “scientific” odors coming from rooms when embryo physicists and chemists are conducting experiments. Finally we reach our destina tion, and after regaining our breath we look about us. We find human skulls and the skulls of animals, bones of a porpoise from Massachusetts, a Florida saw-fish, and jaws of a shark. Eut perhaps we are not interest ed entirely in bones, so we go to the next case, and here we find many fine specimens of stuffed blackbirds, meadow larks, hawks, owls, pheasants, swans, deer, bears, squirrels, and others. We also find collections of nests, and eggs, varying from over five inch es in diameter to less than one eighth. In another case we see a decay ed hemlock log, a thin, white strip. And if we are chemists we look at the bottles showing how corn is changed into syrups, starch, etc. Of the 53,627 Civil war pension ers remaining, 500 are totally help less or blind. \ At the Oregon-Washington Game Every Loyal Co-ed Will Wear S «“g&iL«fsa C lac^MOBassaa^ Wilh Green “O'* in a Corsage for And "mums” will give that old stadium !; a colorful touch that one only gets at ) these "big games”!
