Men must be at liberty to say in print what ever they have a mind to say, provided it wrongt no one. —Charles Anderson Dana, New York Sun ...... i FOR AULD LANG SYNE 'T'O THOSE who knew a frai' little man who de voted six years of the best part of his life to the University of Oregon, the administration build ing, with its stately ionic columns and stolid im pressiveness, always will be reminiscent of Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall. It was there that this lofty browed scholar planned and dreamed of a great University which would some day take its place among the foremost educational institutions of America. More often than not, the light in his office burned far into the small hours of the morning as he struggled with the difficult task that was his. From the edge of the campus the high-paned win dows of his study shone forth like beacons in the darkness. They symbolized the torch of learning and flashed a message that there was a brilliant ■ mind at the throttle of the University. Idealist and thinker that he was, Arnold Bennett Hall came to clashes with numerous people. The materialistic, attitude of many with whom he worked was irksome to him. Being practical at the expense of educational efficiency was not pleas ant to Dr. Hall. Powerful persons in the state dis agreed with his plans and ideas, and eventually he resigned as president of the University. So he came and went a brilliant man, with scholarly ideals and high aspirations. Many were opposed to him, countless others hardly knew what he looked like. But, above everything else, he was a friend of the University of Oregon, as staunch and loyal a supporter as this school ever had. It hurt him to the core when he saw the University turned into a punching-bag for political and financial desires. When the present system of higher education was put into operation. Dr. Hall was left out in the cold, so to speak. He was retained as president of the University, but subsequent events, including j the placing of the nefarious Zorn-Macpherson measure on the ballot, so discouraged him that he tendered his resignation to the board. That body granted him a leave of absence until January 1, 1933. Up to that time he technically holds the posi tion he occupied for six years. "Harvard, Yale, Oregon, Dartmouth.” that would have been sweet music to the ears of Arnold Bennett Hall. He loved to visualize a day when his school would be recognized as one of the nation's ^ cultural and educational centers. He was untiring j in his efforts to establish noteworthy research pro jects here. His endeavors to obtain donations from J eastern foundations met with gratifying success. Dr. Hall lauded the state board for its distribu tion of courses under the present system; and his endorsement was as fine a compliment as the board ' ever received. He deplored that the Zorn-Macpher son bill should ever reach the ballot ami watched in anguish as selfish interests sought to destroy the institution he had worked so hard and long to im prove. A continent now lies between Arnold Bennett Hall and the University of Oregon. He fills a highly responsible post at Washington, D. C. His work here is a closed chapter in his life, but, because he loved Oregon and its University, it is not difficult to picture him watching with interest the destinies of the school he once guided. To Dr. Kerr, a worthy successor, he undoubtedly joins us in extending best wishes. Higher education in this commonwealth is cer tain to advance, and it is only fitting that we pause to pay a slight tribute to a man who strove and sought for progress for six years Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall. THANK YOU, AARON AND PHIL! TO THOSE philanLhiopic Portlanders, Mr. Aaron Frank and Mr. Philip Jackson, we extend thanks for the water-wagons they will present to the Ore gon and Oregon State football teams this afternoon. Their generous act is appreciated by the students of the University, and the Emerald gladly takes this opportunity to tell them so. WELCOME GRADS GTTtrELCOME grads” will radiate from every ▼ » corner of the campus this week-end as alum ni from all over the state stream into Eugene for their 1932 Homecoming. Homecoming this year has a deeper significance than ever before. Not only is it the usual glad reunion of old classmates, but it is a last giant rally to save the University from the clutches of the Zorn-Macpherson juggling bill. Every loyal alum will be “Back to Fight for Oregon" with the same pep and will to win that they used to put into their football rallies. True, we are playing a foot ball game with our most famous rival, Oregon State. But we are also running the last lap of the greatest race the University of Oregon has ever run the race for self-preservation and continuance in its present location and identity. So we say, “Welcome grads! We’re glad to have you back to fight for Oregon!” DK. EINSTEIN SIGNS A CONTRACT DR. ALBERT EINSTEIN will teach in the United States. He has recently signed a con tract to become one of the leaders of the newly formed Institute for Advanced Study. He has been offered luxurious freedom for study and recreation, and all the money he cares to have. Dr. Einstein, a little German-Jew, and probably the greatest mathematical and philosophical thinker of the age, was the son of an obscure Jewish mer chant. But he grew up to think, and as he thought, the wisdom and incandescent brilliance of his re flections and calculations was brought to the light of scientific observers. His fame spread little by little. Academic, rather than poetic, he was acclaimed in the field of science rather in that of philosophy, in which he undoubted ly is no amateur. He thought for himself, and out of that brain which defied the code of centuries sprang an entirely new idea of the cosmic material ism of things, an idea so dazzling that it is claimed that there are but a handful of men who clearly comprehend its theory. Acclaimed by the leaders, the mob have taken up the cry of his praises. The very mention of his name brings the connotation of immense wisdom, withal immersed in a great yet obscure mass of technicalities. Not in life is Albert Einstein obscure and involved. A simple, quiet man, the rest of the world has found him out and forced the burden of great notoriety on his erstwhile peaceful studies. It is as Emerson said, “A man may live in a cabin in the depths of the woods, but if he builds a better mouse trap than his neighbor, the world will make a beaten path to his door.” CONDUCT YOURSELVES AS GUESTS ATCH your conduct at the game today. In case the Oregon team is victorious, refrain from tearing up the goal posts or other exhibitions of enthusiasm. There are other things at stake of more moment to the University than even the traditional football game. Officials of the Oregon State student body, members of the faculty, and the Daily Barometer are urging the college students to conduct them selves with restraint. This is a football game and not a preliminary test of the popularity of the Zorn Macpherson bill. The eyes of the state are fixed with interest on the student bodies of both colleges. An uncom fortable scuffle would do untold harm to the pres tige of both schools. After the game is over, return to Eugene. We are having our own Homecoming here, our own dance, and celebration. A crowd of Oregon stu dents in Corvallis at this time will only threaten an already-strained situation. Scouting has been banned for this football sea son between the three teams of the Little Three league in New England Amherst, Wesleyan and Williams colleges. Bowdoin college authorities have announced that they have found discrepancies in the accounts of John C. Thalheimer, missing bursar of the col lege. My father's favorite saying was: "A successful business man is one who watches the crowd and then goes the other way." Lady Rhondda. There can never be peace where material values of money, place, pleasure and power are the whole objct of human pursuit. Dr. Cyril Norwood.

C. is planning on consolidating the whole state at Corvallis within 10 years, the township is pretty well torn up to make way for improvement and expansion. Even if you’re an old haibtue of the Hotel Benton, you probably won’t recognize the place unless you have the signals. Fol low these instructions carefully. How to Get to Corvallis Start north on the Pacific high way. In 20 minutes you will come to a town. This is not Corvallis. This is Junction City. Drive straight on. In 20 minutes more you will cross a river. This is not the Mary’s river. This is the Long Tom river. The town on the other side is not Corvallis, it is Monroe. Drive on. Soon you will sight another bridge looming ahead. Slow down to 10 miles an hour. Corvallis is just the other side of this bridge and you don’t want to overlook it. Now you are in Corvallis. * * * How to Get to Bell Field Get out of your car and note the direction the water in the gut ters is flowing. Drive down stream. When you arrive at the place where all the gutters run together you will be at Bell field. Turn your car with the nose pointed south before you park it. * * * How to get some money—from your insurance company: (1) Sit in the O. S. C. section, but join in with the Oregon yells. (2) Stand in the lobby of the Benton hotel and yell ‘‘317 X No.” (3) Help out the decorators for the Memorial Union homecoming dance by pasting “317 X No” stickers up and down the walls. (4) Go down to the office of the Gazette-Times and ask Editor Ingalls if he's been doing much writing for the “Barometer” late ly * * * How to spend the evening in Corvallis: Come back to Eugene and go to bed. * * * After the list of secret sopho mores and tricky monickers we published yesterday somebody wants to know if Caravan has taken over the personalities col umn.

Complete the costume with a tiny turban of shaded grey or else with a beret of yellow. * 4s * With these sports togs, a grey swagger coat would, of course, be just the thing, but considering how cold the trip, how grey the day, and how damp the fog, a fur coat would be warmer.

Washington Bystander By KIRKE SIMPSON WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 4.— ” (API—The fact that former Senator James Reed’s selection to reply in Des Moines to President Hoover’s recent speech there drew fire from Republican national headquarters might be taken as a tribute to the Missourian's powers on the stump. Whatever good was hoped for from picturing Governor Roose velt’s icceptance of Reed’s support as something of a slight to the memory of Wilson, to revive the memories of his anti-Hoover atti tude, dating back to before the war, is to be rated good campaign strategy. The effect of the volley from the Republican publicity organization was to suggest to readers that there would be a personal motive behind anything Reed would say at Des Moines. * * * Reed long ago had conceived for Emerald Of the Air The Emerald - of - the - Air an nounces its first Sunday program with Art Potwin, Robert Oliver, and Rolla Reedy prest\ting, re spectively, the Republican, Demo cratic, and Socialist cases from 2:30 to 3:15 tomorrow afternoon.

Looked at in another way, Sen ator Reed might be said to have contributed greatly to making Hoover president, for all his al leged hatred. He did not do it wittingly, of course. * * * Who could have foreseen in 1920 when the Kenyon campaign ex penditures committee met in Washington just before the Re publican convention and thrust a potent finger into the Republican presidential nomination fight, that Harding of Ohio would be the next president and Hoover his com merce secretary? That is the way it worked out, and eight years *later Hoover, whose nomination in 1920 was so coldly received by the convention itself, was nominated on the first ballot at Kansas City. * * * And the man whose skillful ex amination of witnesses before the Kenyon committee brought out the picture of an “old fashioned” pre convention campaign among the trio of leading rivals that year for Republican nomination honors, Wood, Johnson and Lowden, was Senator Reed.
