Think of the Tangible Results
'T'HE significance and importance of the Pacific Basin good
will ambassadors’ accomplishments seem slowly to be sink
ing into the mind of the student body. Yesterday’s assembly
was attended by a crowd of students who showed real enthu
siasm.
International good will still is an intangible reality far re
moved from the consciousness of most of us, in spite of our
efforts to realize its importance. Just how important is the
personal contact of our three representatives with the student
organizations and student representatives of New Zealand, Aus
tralia, Japan ? What tangible result will come from the speaking
engagements of Pfaff, Miller, and Wilson before the Rotary clubs
of China and India?
These are the questions we put to ourselves. Failing to find
any answer as dynamic as could be wished for, we hastily con
clude that the matter is not so important as athletic relations
with Oregon State. And we dismiss the subject from considera
tion.
Herein we are wrong. Pursue the question farther. Study
out the possible interest their trip may have in dollars and cents
within the next year. One Australian family may move to Ore
gon, favorably impressed with the state as publicized by the
Oregon debaters. Some of the children of that family may come
to the University. One of the boys may be pledged to YOUR
tong. One of the girls may in three of YOUR classes. If she
is good-looking, and you like her accent—the Australian accent
is very un-English—the tangible results of the Pacific Basin
tour will begin to make themselves evident in romantic fashion.
In an address before the Eugene chamber Monday night, Bob
Miller said that the Japanese were exceedingly friendly toward
the United .States. Many who were there believed, until Miller
assured them differently, that the Japanese were quite the op
posite.
Now let us suppose that the difficulty between Japan and
China should not be ironed out as effectually as we might wisn;
that talk of intervention was raised. Those who heard and be
lieved Bob Miller would not be willing to support a demand for
intervention; they would not be willing to pass judgment on
the Japanese as inimical to the United States and to our inter
ests in the Orient. Their attitude would be reflected in their
conversation with their neighbors. And in Eugene there would
be a bloc of conciliatory opinion which would be strongly influ
ential.
Should there be several such blocs, public opinion on the
matter of intervention would be directed toward a rational set
tlement of the difficulty, and the final tangible effect on us
would be an interest in the outcome of negotiations which might
conceivably amount to public participation in the argument.
There is in this possibility the further aspect that, as a reward
for such participation, the girl from Australia might smile favor
ably on YOUR suit. That, again, is tangible.
Yet again, the firm for which some, or many, of us may
work after graduation might find that business with firms in
China, Japan, and India has been made possible through inquiries
resulting from Rotary club addresses of Pfaff and Wilson and
Miller. Willi the added turnover, they find that they need an
extra clerk. YOU will be given a salary raise, and a better job.
The new employee, also a college graduate, will be made office
boy in your place. That also is quite tangible.
And now you ask us what possible result of importance has
or could come from the Pacific Basin good-will tour?
Justice Holmes Resigns
LIVER WENDELL HOLMES resigned yesterday from the
United States supreme court bench after 30 years of de
voted service. His decisions and opinions have established prece
dents and guide posts of liberalism and humane tolerance since
1902, when he was appointed by President Roosevelt.
Though frequently with the minority, he never was one to
bow to the weight of a conservative majority. The fine and
spirited example which Mr. Justice Holmes lived for 30 years
as a member of the highest tribunal of the land is worthy of
the strictest emulation. Intelligence and tolerance are necessary
qualities of the great, and Holmes has demonstrated these attri
butes for nearly 91 years.
“The time has come, and 1 bow to the inevitable,” lie said
in his letter of resignation.
“Your great work is finished,” we add. “We offer our
thanks.”
The Waterloo, Iowa, elevator operator who married an Eng
lish woman and thus won a baronetcy is the first of his profes
sion we know of w ho really got up in the world.
The snow brought enjoyment to a few persons on the campus
at least. Some students from California and Hawaii saw the
feathery flakes for the first time.
Distracted sports writers, if the present controversy continues
much longer, are apt to start calling Oregon's athletic teams
“Pion-foots” or “Web-eers.”
The man who runs for the presidency these days must either
have a supreme confidence in his owu ubilitv, or an insane desire

This is the one I meant to tell
you. There was a boy who came
to college. Yes, they still do that.
This boy was a very, very nize

school and practiced his music les
son every day.
One night, a bunch of the boys
was whooping it up with a big bull
session, and Eddie (that was his
name) was sitting into it. All the
boys were sitting around, and pret
ty soon one of them pulled out a
pack of cigarettes and offered one
to Eddie. (His name was Eddie.)
“No, thanks,” said Eddie (for
that was the boy’s name) drawing
out a package, “I’ll smoke one of
my own.”
Oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you his
name was Eddie.

Kansas University School
Is Modeled on One Here
Ex-Oregon Head Began System
While Teaching There
The discovery that fhe college
of commerce at the University of
Kansas is modeled after the com
merce school at Oregon was made
recently when Dean Faville of the
school of business administration
received a letter from Dean Frank
Stockton of the University of Kan
sas.
Dean Stockton found while writ
ing the history of the Kansas de
partment of economics that the
system used had been inaugurated
by Dr. Frank Strong, former pres
ident of the University of Oregon
from 1899 to 1902.
It is usually thought that the
school of business administration
at Oregon was established in 1914
but investigations of the Univer
sity catalogs definitely date it
back into the nineteenth century.
When Dr. Strong was president
of the University the courses of
fered at the business administra
tion school included foreign lan
guage, elementary engineering,
history of commerce, finance, ex
change, banking, business meth
ods, and general economics.

FA TRILOGY OF THREE PLAYS
Mourning Becomes Electra. By Eu
gene O'Neil. Liveright.
By ROY SHEEDY
In these days of literature and
' drama something either strikingly
original or very extreme seems
necessary to cause more than a
ripple of attention among the crit
ics and blase public. O’Neil chose
the last named course, going to
the very omega of cold-blooded
drama in telling this story of fam
i ily morals in high-tension post
war days. Nine acts of murder,
suicide, adultery, incestuous desire
and deep hatred produce the effect
for which the author was striving,
that of making his play a sensa
tion. It is to O’Neil’s credit that
while he is successful in this, he
does not allow his work to become
cheap or melodramatic as it sure
ly would have in less adept hands.
Reviewed as a stage perform
ance, one wonders how an audience
could sit through five hours of this
kind of thing, witnessing lurid cli
max after climax without becom
ing bored, but reviewed as litera-‘
ture, no such question is raised;
the play holds one’s interest more
than any novel.
There is no room here to tell the
plot, other than that O’Neil chose
one of epic and complex propor
tions. And if he has not succeed
ed in telling the story, it is be
cause of the task he attempted
rather than from any lack of skill.
This criticism has a harsher tone
than the reviewer actually feels.
By aiming at the stars, O’Neil has
come very close to reaching them.
‘‘Mourning Becomes Electra” is a
masterly piece of workmanship,
showing America’s greatest play
right at his best. The play can
hardly be recommended too highly.
