Yellowed Book From Middle
Ages Rests on Library Shelf
By J. ALMON NEWTON
Out of. the dimness of the middle
ages, and across void of some 290
years, comes the most profound
ly interesting volume to pause on
the shelves of the University of
Oregon library.
One's hands tremble as he han
dles this precious volume. The
pages rustle as though they would
crack at the slightest uncontrolled
touch. They are crisp and wavy,
and a bit yellowed by the passage
of time, but the print is still clear
with its perculiar “s's” that look
like "f’s", and the language is
flawless. Jeremy Taylor .and Fran
cis Bacon would have done well to
surpass it in its music and its fin
esse.
Holding the book gingerly in
both hands, and sitting on the edge
of one's chair with excitement,
one carefully opens it to its first
parting. It is on a paper evident
ly inserted after the volume was
printed. The writing is legible
longhand, and discloses the places
of birth and education of the au
thor, Arthur Wilson, and gives a
brief critique of the work. The
signature at the end of the paper,
not because of illegibility, but be
cause of its peculiar form, leaves
the reader puzzled as to the iden
tity of the biographer.
On the next printed page, one
reads with eagerness of an explor

This popular orchestra does a

Hope of Business
Lies in Leaders, j
J. Bond Believes
Second ‘Civilization’ Talk |
Given Last Night
At Y Hut
“Where I see the most hope for
stabilizing business and improving
the economic system is to give
business leaders the opportunity to
win honor safely through genuine
public service,” Professor Jesse H.
Eond said last night while talking
on “The Economic Organization of
the New Civilization,” at the Y
hut.
“We must first learn the natural
processes and then manipulate
them to bring about the desired
results,” Bond gave as his funda
mental principle. “If we attempt
to remedy economic evils without
thoroughly understanding the sys
tem, we are liable to make the
specific problem worse, as well as
to meet serious complications
which were at first unforeseen,”
he explained.
Four typical problems of the
present economic system were
given to illustrate the complexity
of the solution. These were the
stabilized dollar, control of produc
I tion, tariff, and the business cycle.
Some method of keeping the
purchasing power of the dollar on
an even level should be used to
temper the business cycle and to
do away with the injustice to
debtors and creditors that is
caused by fluctuating prices, Mr.
Bond thinks. He is in favor of the
plan to govern the purchasing
power of the dollar by varying the
weight of gold on which it is based,
as an experiment at least.
Next Thursday from 7:30 to
8:30 Professor Nelson L. Bossing
will speak on “Education in the
New Civilization.” This will be
the third in a series of discussions
on “The New Civilization" being
sponsored this term by the Uni
versity Y. M. C. A. The meetings
are open to both men and women.

Colonial
Not having had time to cover
the movies showing Southern Cal's
heroic victory over Notre Dame,
now showing at the Colonial, we
deputized a varsity football player
to see the picture. His impres
sions, as told to us afterwards
are as follow:
“The picture was swell . . . yol
could see the players opening the
holes just as though you were at
tending the game . . . the filn
didn’t drag an instant . . . th<
photography was excellent anc
was made at close range . . . yoi
could sure tell the boys were fight
ing in there every minute . . . the}
had a fellow announcing whi
made everything as clear as da;
as to the players, yardage, anc
such stuff . . . you sure got a bif
thrill when the Trojans made thei:
big comeback.”
Our correspondent, who ha
played against U. S. C. himself
added that he felt that S. C.’s vie
tory was not through any letdowi
on the part of Notre Dame bu
simply due to their own superla
tive playing.
In addition to the above film
a second-run Gary Cooper picture
is playing at the Colonial, "I Take
This Woman.”

Marsh at Heilig
“Under Eighteen,” starring the
youthful Marian Marsh, is show

Daring feats of horsemanship,
together with thrilling gun duels
and numerous fistic encounters, go

“The Fighting Marshal,” starring
Tim McCoy, which comes to the

■‘Sooky’’ is a real sequel to
“Skippy,” in which these two

not long ago. All the kid tricks

a little pathos gives a touch that
makes it outstanding. This fine
