Welcome, Oregon Mothers
"^y^HILE fervent prayers go out to Jupe Pluvius today, asking
that he put his battered sprinkling can on the shelf for
the week-end, the campus forgets its worries and gives itself
over to joy and revelry. It’s Junior Week-end, a magic time,
recognized for years as the outstanding event of the campus
calendar.
Studies will be forgotten this afternoon—but why not after
mid-terms and a month of classes have been finished and days
most unlike spring term have been endured? It’s time for a
vacation.
This year Junior Week-end will take on added significance
with the celebration of Mothers’ Day on a bigger scale than ever
before. Burt Brown Barker, vice-president of the University,
will have his lasting gift of the Pioneer Mother statue unveiled
tomorrow for the benefit of hundreds of mothers and many pio
neers from all sections of the state who will be here for the
event. The Pioneer Mother statue is a notable gift to the cam
pus, the state and the entire West—a tribute to heroic charac
ters who built an empire.
There are many things to do today: campus luncheon, tennis
court features, baseball game, Prom. Tomorrow comes the water
carnival, statue unveiling, mothers’ tea, banquet, and the far
famed Canoe Fete. Sunday visiting mothers will be entertained
at campus living organizations.
Three gala days are ahead for you, Oregon Mothers, and we
welcome you whole-heartedly to our campus. Three wonderful
days are in store for you, too, Oregon students. Ever since the
latter part of winter term the Junior Week-end directorate has
been working hard to make these days enjoyable ones. We know
they will be.
Education or Training ?
TTTHILE spring brings showers, flowers, Junior week-end,
commencement and light thoughts on love, the May num
ber of the Atlantic Monthly brings a somewhat heavier disserta
tion on ‘‘The University in American Life" from the pen of
Abraham Flexner. For prospective graduates who have been
paying out $26.25 thrice annually for the last four years in the
interests of higher education, Mr. Flexner baldly says: "The over
crowded American college is engaged in making a necessarily
unsuccessful effort to teach boys and girls what they ought to
have learned before they left their local high schools."
The iconoclastic Mr. Flexner not only succeeds in taking
much of the joy out of approaching commencement exercises,
but does so to the tune of highly convincing rhetoric. Witness:
"the university cognizant of the past, grappling with the pres
ent, straining toward the future, is the only institution capable
of maintaining intellectual values. But the university cannot
perform this task if it is itself distracted by the number and
variety of the activities it sponsors."
These distracting activities are, according to Mr. Flexner,
all so-called "service" tasks in the form of professional schools.
Training, he points out, is not education. It is the ability to do
different things without profoundly understanding the processes
therein involved. Education is understanding the fundamental
problems and processes. Through relentless questioning of status
quo the student purifies cultural values, maintaining only; those:
by which a workable world scheme may be followed. The stu
dent therefore is ultimately the highest type of leader. Whereas
training is highly desirable it is not the function of higher edu
cation.
With eight professional schools as her immediate pride and
joy, the University of Oregon would seem to fit in well with
Mr. Flexner's pointed conceptions of the American university
as it should not be. in that case, too, Mr. Flexner would have
to consider fully half of those expecting to graduate, not as
educated men and women but merely trained citizens, all manner
of sueep-skin documents and caps and gowns to the contrary.
Borah Names Methods

WASHINGTON, May 5.- (AH)
—Three pathways to the economic
recovery of the world were chart

committee in a denunciation of in

Disarmament settlement of the
reparations problem, and restora

^orridor
By V. H. Hal
The great vultures have pounced
upon me. Seldom does a columnist
escape the greedy claws of these
publicity birds and seldom does a
columnist fail to surrender to
them. I was asked to devote one
article to the Canoe Fete, but I
refused, saying that it would be
recognized immediately as public
ity and I would be in danger of
losing my few readers. I weak
ened. •
Yesterday we had almost 10 min
utes of sunshine so I wandered
over to the bleachers by the mill
race to do a little reading. The
| warm air, the quiet water, and
fresh odor of green grass and
bushes along the edge .prevented
the immediate absorption of my
mind in the book. The newly
i painted numbers on the bleachers
brought back to me the three or
four Canoe Fetes that I have seen.
With all their beauty and origin
ality many funny things have hap
pened during these float displays.
One time the prom queen and
her attendants were scheduled to
drift down the race in a beautiful
float which was to appear mysti
cally out of the arch as if sent by
magic power. The float was to
resemble a crystal, the queen and
her four attendants sitting with
sedate stateliness inside. It was
meant, I believe, to look like a co
coon with one side transparent.
Well, the Queen’s Float was
launched and it drifted majestic
ally through the arch ready to dis
play itself in all its grandeur to
the awaiting spectators. As it
neared the race in front of the
bleachers it began to swerve as if
the jesting waters of the mill-race
were ripping it completely out of
control. It contintinued to swing
around until, in full view of the
spectators, it faced about display
ing the carefully prepared side to
the willows on the opposite bank.
The raw, unfinished rear was gap
ing wildly toward the prowded j
bleachers and the four honored;
maidens were sitting; still quite |
sedate upon cracker boxes amid!
the raw boards of internal con-1
struction. The mill-race assistants
were maneuvering vigorously to
pull the stubborn float and the hu
miliated ladies of the court into po
sition. Continued attempts and
much raucous yelling were to no
avail. The disgraced cocoon floated
the entire length thrilling the lone
ly weeds and bushes with its one
impressive side.
MEMORIAL COURT OPEN
The memorial court of the
Prince L. Campbell Art Museum
will be open for the week-end to
students, mothers and other visi
tors on the campus. Dean On
thank of the personnel administra
tion urges that all visitors be
shown through the court.
