Reinhart, German consul in Seattle, last night at Villard hall; "he is represented in every part of literature as a poet, a dramatist, and a novelist. It is difficult to say what his greatest achievement was shown in. His forest poems were real gems, of beauty. Perhaps in his novels, he is less outstanding.” Dr. Reinhart limited his lecture to the showing of slides of Frank worthe, Germany, the birthplace of Goethe, who was born in 1749. Pictures were shown of author and the people who played a major role in the moulding of his literary career. The interesting study of Gothic architecture which was at its heighth at that period was seen in the various slides.

Old Condon Hall Slate Tells Of Opening Geology Lecture By VIRGINIA SCOVILLE Above the door of the geogra phy laboratory in Condon hall there hangs a very old slate with i notice scrawled on it in chalky, Sown hill lines. “A goodly enrollment of the 2lass in general geology enables us to announce that the opening lec ture of the work may be expected on Thursday at 11 o’clock. T. Condon.” Dr. Thomas Condon was' the first geologist in the state of Ore-' gon, the first member of the fac ulty of the University. In the days when Lane county farmers were donating colts and loads of hay to help pay for the one building of the new institu-1 :ion, Condon was teaching the first j science course labelled ‘‘Physical Features of the Earth,” listed in the University catalog for 1877 as a sophomore sudy. In the days when all institutions of learning were patterned after Yele and Harvard, when classical education was practically the only kind, Thomas Condon saw the wide and interesting field opened by natural science. Through his personality and research, he built the foundations of the sciences taught here today. He was a short man, only five feet, two inches in height, and he wore a long beard which he stroked as he talked. His figure was a familiar one on the campus for many years. One of the Uni versity presidents said of him: “Absolutely sincere, simple in life and manner, gentle and allur ing in speech, Professor Condon was nevertheless one of the most courageous of men. . . ” The carefully framed old slate which hangs in Condon hall, named in his honor, is one of the Univer sity's most prized possessions.

Schwering, dean of women, corner 20th and Potter, to organize the group and formulate plans for the year. It has been felt by various un affiliated women on the campus that there has been no definite so cial or other activity niche for the independent girl, or no means whereby the girls could become acquainted with each other. It will be t.V‘ aim of the organiza tion to fulfill this demand and also to encourage scholastic, social, and greater participation in student body activities. The proposed organization does not intend to compete with the place of the sorority in the life of a girl, but rather to supply the support and encouragement “a house” gives in adjusting the girl to campus life and her part in campus activities. All unaffiliated women are urged by Margery Thayer, tem porary chairman, to attend the first meeting, Thursday, Octo ber 19 at 9 o’clock, at the home of Mrs. Schwering.

Place in Class of ’35 Saved In 1914 for Miss Henderson By HENRIETTE HORAK In 1914, the year the war began, i certain baby wax born in Hood River. Nothing strange about that,; nor did the war have anything to} do with it, but the fact was of, much importance to the University )f Oregon. Immediately upon the arrival of 3aby Miriam Henderson, her par ents, both graduates of the Uni versity, sent a wire to the regis trar, “Reserve a place in class of '35 for daughter Miriam.” The! daughter entered the university in 1931 and is now a junior, majoring' in art, and is one of the five girls chosen at the Varsity ball, for the : (Ul-American girl contest, conduct ed in conjunction with the Univer sity magazine. Miss Henderson is tall, five feet six to be exact, wears her dark, wavy hair in a long bob, through which she occasionally runs her long slender fingers, a traditional characteristic of an artist. When interviewed she wore one of those fuzzy soft things, called sweaters, a smart sport skirt, and heavy brogues. The effect was charming, and Miss Henderson re minded one of tall, beautiful la dies living within the pages of Vogue. Miss Henderson is a believer in the “well rounded education.” Al though she is majoring in art, she is taking work in English, French, and psychology departments. Her gradq average is high, in spite of the fact that she is carrying 18 hours, is house manager of Gam ma Phi Beta, reads the classics, and takes part in various activi ties. “I spend very little time at the College Side,” she said when ques tioned; “not because it think it is “low brow” but because I have lit tle time, and my work takes me to other parts of the campus.” During the little time Miss Hen (Coniiiwi'd on Page Three)
