NEW LIBRARY FOR OREGON?
UNDOUBTEDLY the state legislature, which
looks with hungry eye upon what to it is the
opulent figure of higher education, would throw
up its hands with horror at the mere thought of
addition to the University’s equipment. Higher
learning in this state already has accepted hitherto
unheard-of sacrifices, and still more extensive ones
are imminent unless the legislature puts some other
neck in its economy guillotine.
Yet, the state senate and house, by granting
the University permission to negotiate a loan from
the Reconstruction Finance corporation, could
make invaluable amends for the damage it has been
forced to inflict because of necessary economies.
The R. F. C. is pouring millions of dollars into
roads, bridges, and other projects, yet has over
looked higher education completely in its efforts
to stimulate business conditions.
What difference does it make to the R. F. C.
whether 200 unemployed men be put to work erect
ing pieirs for a new highway bridge or mixing
cement for a modern library at the University of
Oregon ? The only difference will be to generations
of future citizens, who will benefit far more from
the latter than they possibly could from the former.
No one can deny that our present library lias
outlived its usefulness. Its rooms are difficult to
study in; its awkward arrangement provides only
a minimum in convenience. The annex at Condon
hall is even worse. The large study-room there is
little short of impossible. To attempt to concen
trate in it is a heroic feat and requires patience
worthy of a better cause. It is built like a corridor.
A new library would enable the law school to
occupy the present library building, leaving Oregon
hall open for the romance languages and other
allied subjects. The law volumes stored at Oregon
hall are far too valuable to be left any where
except in fireproof stacks, and the building in
which they are placed at present never was con
structed to support their heavy weight.
But, aside from these practical reasons of im
mediate benefit, there should be considered the
great lasting impression such an enterprise would
make upon the University and the state. The lib
rary is the nucleus of the institution. Around it
centers all the cultural and educational activities
of the University. It will increase in importance
as liberal ideas spread throughout the nation and
this country turns more and more to its thinkers
and intellectuals to determine its policies.
There are many obstacles standing in the way
of the construction of a new library, but it is a
project so worthwhile and beneficial that it merits
unlimited energy to make it a reality. At present
we pay a building fee to provide for the Ale Arthur
court bonds. Would it not be of greater valuo to \
contribute money for a new library?
The idea is only in its embryo stage at present. 1
We should do all in our power to advance it.
FROM \ CHINESE PERSPECTIVE
¥S THE popular American method of obtaining a
•*- diploma by attending so many classes and sc-i
curing so many credits a wise or stupid system ol
education? There will be no attempt to answer the
question here, but it is possible to present a new
angle to the situation. -
In Chiua the League of Nations Educational!
mission has found the credit system one of Amen-1
ca o most unfortunate gitt to education in that
i
country and a valid reason for following European!
methods. Certainly it is a just criticism, yet it
must be remembered that the important part that
the credit American system has played in the past
has been to introduce uniformity into the hetero
geneous nature of education of the pioneer days
of this country’s history. It is possible th&t Ameri
can education methods, if modernized, may per
form a similar service for China.
Yet we must not turn a deaf ear to the mis
sion's report. It points out some things that can
not be ignored as criticisms of our own educational
system. It is wise to look at what we are doing
from a new and different perspective, and certainly
China is far enough removed to give a far different
outlook on our colleges and universities than might
be obtained at home.
HE WHO SELLS MUST BUV
HE BIGOTED attitude of mercantilists, who
would blow hot and cold in the same breath, is
admirably set forth by Charles E. Martin, direc
tor of the institute of world affairs. The fact that
"The nation who would sell abroad must buy
abroad" has been overlooked by the ardent sup-1
porters of the Hawley-Smoot tariff.
Professor Martin, a member of the faculty of!
the University of Washington, points out that while !
political nationalism is to be decried, the world is in
a much worse position through the selfishness of
economic nationalism.
The salient points of Professor Martin's case,
so clear that every Oregon student should read
them, follow:
"The economic life of the world is bound by a
nationalism more terrible and more selfish than any
political nationalism could possibly be. A nation
may deliberately choose the course of war, count
the cost, and take the consequences. In case of
actual war, force is generally met with forcible re
sistance, and there is generally much blame attach
ing to both parties to the conflict. It is a bi-lateral
or multi-lateral undertaking. A restricted economic
policy, however, even in times of peace, may be
the result of the unilateral action of a single state,
and may affect adversely the lives and prosperity
of countless millions beyond its borders.
"Trade is a process ol peace, and it is also a
mutual undertaking. Conflicting economic policies
of the nations, however, are in such a state that a
condition of economic war virtually exists. Tariffs
are so high that trade appears to be merely a uni
lateral undertaking on the part of one nation alone.
Something must be done to restore economic peace,
and to make trade mutually profitable to all
parties. It cannot be done by the continued exer
cise of legislative power in the legislative field,
without limit or stint. It must be done at the con
ference table.
"Our ramshackle national economic structure
was levelled to the ground through uncontrolled
speculation. The old banker was satisfied with
security and six per cent. We of this generation
demanded several times our initial investment. With
the world boom on, the world’s Casino on Wall
Street became the scene of a mad national and
world gamble. The bubble burst, and the strain
wrecked us, but also dislocated the world. Never
again will we allow the speculative proclivities of
the few to impoverish aigl enslave the many.
"An equivalent abuse in the international sphere
is the tariff amounting to a virtual embargo. If
allowed to continue without limit or modification,
our international economic structure will be levelled
even more than was our national economy through
speculation. Our tariff war is posited on the ab
surdity that we will sell abroad to the limit, but
that we shall buy from abroad, either with the
greatest reservations, or not at all. The nation
which would sell abroad must also buy abroad.
Commercial relations, even between nations, cannot
long remain one-sided. Its foundation is mutuality;
its very life is exchange.
"Commerce, ever skeptical of government's at
titude and resentful of its intervention, has not
hesitated to use the power of the state for its own
welfare. During the days of the depression, busi
ness has hastened to government to save it from
itself. In our orgy to produce, we have found that
we have many products on our hands for which we
have no domestic market, and that our exportable
surplus remains on our piers and in our ware
houses. Much of this condition comes from an eco
nomic policy which would enrich ourselves and im
poverish our neighbors. We have learned that even
the highest tariffs do not guarantee a home mar
ket: and they do cut off our foreign markets. Let
us be frank. Wherein has the embargo tariff helped
us? How has it profited us? It has not guar
anteed local consumption, high wages -or even a
job. And it has driven our foreign market away.
Moreover, other nations, in retaliation, have built
their tariff walls all the higher, in foolish but ex
pected contravention of plain economic law.”
The Oregonian says the great Westbrook Pegler
has been criticized, severely in letters from his read
ers lately. Which only goes to show that he is as
popular as ever. It's only the newspaper content
which says nothing that escapes criticism and con- ■
demnation.
On Other Campuses
Individuality
|3 OMANT1C altruists and ethereal ideulists are
always decrying individuality. Frightened by
the bugaboo of a Nietzchean philosophy and the
horrid dream of a world run by gigantic morons,
they proceed with frantic and amusing haste to
cheek the reins of the artist and the genius.
By law. they have curbed the physical and in
tellectual strong to protect, the struggling, insipid
weak. By convention, the mother of propriety,
they have invented modesty, which forces a superior
to pretend he is a mediocrity. Delicious irony!
And now, they proceed to science and philosophy
to provide them with more restrictions.
Nature's main purpose, they say, in a humor
ous, panicky attitude of pretended logical calm -!
is the continuation of the race, and this can be
accomplished only when the individual sacrifices
his needs to those of the race in general, when he,
primarily spends his life considering other people.'
But. alas, they fail to see that this consideration
this substitution of another’s will for one’s own,.
perhaps a baser one is founded not on ethics and!
in Nature, but in cowardly fear anil slavish senti
mentality.
Besides the individual is never as dependent on
the race the race is on the individual: the latter
can exist very well without the former; the race,
however, depends on the individual for its exis
tence. And then, the general prolongation of the
taco is m itself useless and purposeless like that
of a man wanting to be a centenarian because he
likes the figure one hundred. The race is impor- I
tant only inasmuch as it can serve the individual.
No doubt many people throw up their hands in
horror at such an attitude. But it is to be ob
served that a great many evils now ami ever
existing are due to the realization of the wishes aud
wills of stupid, weak people. Had these been
squashed instead of duly considered, much mL-cry
"ouid have been averted—McGill Daily.

A Message to Garcia, |
This is one of a series of articles to which outstanding members of
Oregon's higher educational system are contributing. Another will be
published in the next issue of the Emerald.
DR. FRED N. MILLER
(Head of University Health
Service)
uIIELLO, doctor, this is Mrs. X.
Can you come right out? My
husband has had a bad attack and
has a great deal of pain. I think
it’s his heart again. Come right
away, please.”
“All right, Mrs. X, I’ll leave here
just as soon as I can, but there
are one or two patients I must see
before I leave,” answered the doc
tor, a well-known physician of Eu
gene, for the call was from a near
by town and the doctor knew that
after he left his office he could
see no more patients there that
day. * * *
Twenty or thirty minutes later,
the telephone rang again. There
is better news this time. “Mr. X
is much better now, ancl I don’t
believe you need to come.” Scarce
ly another thought was given tc
the case by the busy doctor, for he
is used to being urgently sum
moned for conditions that are
much less serious than at first de
scribed, and he is glad to be able
to give more time to study the
case of the man in his office at
the time of this second call.
Four days later another call
from the same home, “Oh, doctor,
can you come right away? I—I—
Oh, I’m afraid G— is dead.”
* * :S
And indeed he was dead. Four
days ago a sudden attack of
stabbing pain. White-faced and
gasping, he was helped to bed
by his wife. A few minutes lat
er, however, and he was able to
state that he was better. Im
provement was very slow, but
there was no extreme pain. Then
on the fourth day when his wife
was out to the barn he turned
his head toward the window and
saw one of his cows looking in
through the window. Realizing
that the gate to the yard had
been inadvertently left open and
being of an impulsive nature, he
got up, went out, and threw a
few stones at the cow. Sudden
ly he stopped, clutched at his
left side, swayed and called out,
"M come, help me. I'm fall—”
ft ft ft
This was the story the doctor got
from t ire grief-stricken wife this
and more.
They had worked hard, these
two. wresting a living from the
soil. But crop losses—no market
or pitably low prices taxes the
same old story. Finally even the
insurance could not be paid. Then
three days after the last day of
grace, the husband dies.
* * ais
Could this tragedy have been
prevented? Just what did happen
both at the time of the first call
in December 30 and then the last
act on January 3? These ques
tions the doctor asked himself and
while from the history of this and
previous illness lie had a pretty
good idea of the cause of death,
he doctor was enough of a scien
tist lo want to know as exactly as
Possible just what had happened,
l'lie more exact and detailed his
Knowledge, the more definitely
rould he answer the wife's ques
lons and, too, the more acc.urate
y could lie manage eases of a sim
lar nature. For these reasons'hc
uivised an autopsy examination,
t'ery wisely, permission for such
i post mortem examination was
given * * *
it vuo found that the doctor a
diagnosis of coronary thrombosis
was correct, for a clot or thrombus
was found in one of the arteries
of the heart, and as a result of the
loss of blood to the heart muscle,
one of the chambers was acutely
dilated and the heart stopped beat
ing just as must any muscle de
prived of blood and its oxygen
fail to work. This confirmed the
dictor’s diagnosis but in addition
showed him just exactly how ex
tensive an area of heart muscle
was involved and the preexisting
condition of the blood vessel in
which there was a clot.
Further study of the heart re
vealed a definite change in the
heart muscle—a degeneration that
comes slowly from smpll blood
clots. This could be seen with the
naked eye, and the cell degenera
tion could be and was demonstrat
ed under the microscope.
As a result, the pathologist
could not only state how large a
blood clot caused death but he!
could say without fear of contra
diction, “Here is heart muscle de
generated because it received no!
blood." For this change to take
place a certain amount of time
must have elapsed. This man did
have a blood clot on the day he
died, but he also had another blood
clot previously as proved by the
area of degeneration found in the 1
heart muscle. This first clot gave
him a severe heart attack and in
accordance with his insurance
contract produced “total disabil
ity.”
Therefore, since he was totally
disabled on December 30, he no
longer needed to pay his insur
ance premium to keep it in force,
and the widow can claim the in
surance.
Now it is, of course, rare that
an autopsy will be so immediate
ly valuable to the family of the
deceased. However, it frequent
ly will add something to the
knowledge of the cause of death,
' and it should be a satisfaction j
! to the family to have this addi
tional information. For this
i reason, the doctor who asks for
; and urges autopsies is giving ev
idence of his scientific zeal. In
fact, the more autopsies a hos
pital has, the better its rating,
1 and to be accredited it must
have a certain number.
The common saying that “the
doctor buries his mistakes,"
with the implication that neith
er he nor anyone else discovered
the error, should not be possi
ble. Scientific medicine has been
tremendously advanced by post
mortem examinations.
0
* « *
We now know largely as a re
sult of post-mortem examinations
that many hearts in which mur
murs arc found are not diseased
and that rigorous curtailment of
active life is not necessary. The
individual physician .too. who is
fortunate enough to have his diag
noses checked by frequent autopsy
has his diagnostic acumen mark
edly improved.
In the successful practice of
medicine it is not enough to make
a correct major diagnosis. In se
vere pneumonia, it is rare that the
doctor, .even unskilled, mistakes
entirely the diagnosis. However,
to treat a pneumonia patient, the
scientific doctor tries to estimate
as accurately as possible not only
exactly ' how much lung involve
uicul there io but the dcgiee of
4
involvement of the heart, the kid
neys, the blood, etc. The post mor
tem examiner in such an instance
will not tell the physician a new
diagnosis but he may elaborate
that diagnosis as to details.
As a result of such knowledge,
the doctor may in his next case of
pneumonia have a better apprecia
tion of the patient’s heart condi
tion and may render more effect
ive treatment. It would indeed ad
vance medical knowledge tremen
dously if a post mortem examina
tion were required by law in every
case as it is in criminal cases of
obscure nature, in the absence of
such universal legal requirement,
it will help if at least the more in
telligent citizens recognize the
very great value of such an exam
ination.
* * *
It should perhaps be added that
an autopsy need mutilate a body
no more than a major operation
and indeed it might well be con
sidered as a sort of operation, and
so far as the mourners are con
cerned there are no more visible
effects.
It is ,of course, entirely compati
ble with religion and does not
question nor violate the dignity of
life. In fact, the ideal of service
to humanity even in death is a
high ethical and religious concept.

With tire Senior Ball in view,
with formal dances scheduled for
every week-end the rest of the
term, the Oregon man is now ask
ing himself, "Must I send flow
ers?" "Should I send them?”
To begin with, flowers are now
selling at depression prices. A
bouquet which was formerly priced
at $1.50 is now selling at about
$1. You can even get a corsage
for 50 cents. Let the economic
motive not deter you.
I think, though, that no woman
wants a man to give her flowers
from a sense of obligation. There
is little necessity for a man to send
flowers when he takes a girl to his
own dance (he's already paying
quite enough i. but I do thing it is
a charming gesture when a man
has accepted an invitation to a
sorority affair. It is also a nicety
to send flowers for such a formal
event as the Senior Ball.
* * *
Special from New York: Or
chids and orchids combined with
lilies of the valley are the only
thing for corsages. The deep pur
ple ones are the most popular.

Both Mr. Masterton at the Uni
versity Florist and Les McDonald
at the Campus Flower shop said
that, the depression being what it
is, they hadn't stocked up on or
chids, but that they could order
them on a day's notice.

What kind of corsages can you
send, then, if orchids are out of
the question?

the Betas were going to have a
