UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1933
NUMBER 40
Philosophy of
China Traced
By Latourette
Four Schools of Thought
Draw Comparisons
BIG CROWD ATTENDS
Yale Professor Appears at First
Address of 1933 Series;
Rebec Presides
Tracing the Chinese schools of
thought and explaining their sig
nificance, Kenneth Scott Latour
ette, professor of missions and
oriental history at Yale university,
spoke before a large and appre
ciative audience last night in Vil
lard hall, as the first speaker of
this year's University lecture se
ries sponsored by the Committee
on Free Intellectual Activities.
“Some Fundamental Attitudes
of Chinese Philosophy” was the
subject of Professor Latourette’s
address, in which he outlined the
outstanding period of creative
thought in China, from 550 to 200
Four Philosophies Named
There are four schools of philos
ophy in China, stated Latourette,
and they are Confucianism, Mo
tiism, Taoism, and Legalism.
Confucius, who lived from 551
479 B. C., established the school
with the basic thought that society
could only be saved by men of
moral character, and by those set
ting a good example for others to
follow. Intelligence was consid
ered of more importance than
force. Confucius .also taught the
maintenance of established ritual.
Disciples Compared
Several disciples of Confucius
followed, each differing from their
teacher in minor points. Two of
these were Mencius, who believed
that all men were good by nature,
and Cheng-tzu, who believed that
man was by nature evil and could
only be educated into righteous
ness.
Taoism taught a minimum of
organization, or the policy of
“laissez faire.”
Buddhism Discussed
Mo-tlism counseled its followers
that the way to heaven was to
love all men.
The Legalists advised the legis
lation of lav/s adjusted to the
needs of mankind, and a stern en
forcement of these laws.
Latourette described the advent
of Buddhism and its dissimilarity
to Confucianism. The former re
ligion is subjective and pessimistic,
while the latter is objective and
optimistic.
Rebec Heads Meeting
Latourette concluded by com
paring the attitudes of different
races. “The Indian tries to forget
the universe,” he said. “The white
man tries to conquer the universe,
and the Chinese tries to adjust
himself to the universe.”
After the lecture, Latourette an
swered questions of the audience
concerning Chinese philosophy.
Dr. George Rebec, head of the
University department of philos
ophy, president of the meeting.
All-American Girl
Named Saturday
At Soph Informal
Margaret DeYoung Selected by
Eastern Critics, Editors;
Receives Cup
Margaret DeYoung has been
chosen as “All-American” girl of
the Oregon campus. Her selection
was announced at the sophomore
informal dance last Saturday night
at McArthur court, and brings to
a close the contest sponsored by
the Order of the O and University
magazine.
Eastern art critics and editors
of the University magazine have
been studying the photographs of
the Fall Creek camp and the 3-C
here, for the past month and acted
as final arbiters in the contest.
Miss DeYoung was presented
during the dance with a large lov
ing cup, which remains in her per
manent possession. Inscribed on it
is, “To the loveliest girl on the
University of Oregon campus.”
The winner is a sophomore art stu
dent.
Second to Miss DeYoung the
judges named Betty Graham. The
other finalists were Peggy Carper,
Marian Bass, and Charlotte Eld
ridge. The winners were chosen
solely on the basis of the photo
graphs, no recommendations being
entered.
Pi Lambda Theta
Banquet in Honor
Of Founder’s Day
New Members of Group Initiated
In Gerlinger; Dean Bovard
Speaker at Meeting
Pi Lambda Theta, women's edu
cation honorary, held its annual
founder’s day banquet at McCra
dy's cafe Saturday night at 6:45.
Preceding the banquet new mem
bers were initiated in Gerlinger
hall.
Dr. John F. Bovard, dean of the
school of physical education, was
the speaker cf the evening. Dr.
Bovard’s topic was “Some Neg
lected Features of Education.”
Fifty members were present,
two of them being out-of-town
alumnae, Mrs. Helen Wilderman of
Portland and Elizabeth Hall, who
is teaching in the blind school at
Salem.
The evening opened with the Pi
Lambda Theta song, followed by
the candle ceremony in honor of
the founders. Mrs. Wendell Van
Loan gave the outline of the year’s
program for work of the “Con
servation of Education in Oregon
Committee.”
Alpha Kappa Psi Adds
Eleven New Members
Alpha Kappa Psi, men’s national
professional commerce fraternity,
initiated 11 new members Sunday
morning in the men’s lounge of
Gerlinger hall.
The new members are Wayne
Tyrell, Floyd Deeds, Donald Heis
ler, Ralph Finseth, James Emmett,
Edgar Perry, Howard Fox, Bruce
Senders, Donald Farr, Tom Augh
inbaugh, and Jack Kneeland.
After the initiation the organi
zation dined at the Anchorage.
Dean Hoyt and Doctor Cornish
were present.
Guild Hall Gaieties to Offer
Farce9 Chinese Grotesque
The Guild Hall Gaieties, which
are scheduled for next Friday and
Saturday evenings at 7:30 and
will feature as its first skit, after
the opening ensemble number, a
farce done in the Chinese style.
Although this little bit is intend
ed as a farce, it may be taken
more seriously than surface ap
pearances might seem to warrant.
It is characteristic of the Oriental
stage that mechanical precision of
movement and gesture is used with
great exactitude. Realism, as it is
hown on the American stage, is
foreign to them, since child-like
simplicity in the handling of
properties is one of their persist
ent charactertistics.
The Chinese Grotesque is done
in this manner. There is present
the gong-bearer, chorus, and prop
erty man, whose ^technical func
tions are equal in importance to
those of the hero and heroine. The
chorus man's job corresponds to
that of the modern master of cere
monies. However, instead of that
person waving a baton, as does the
average American master of cere
monies, the chorus man waves a
fan.
A prince in disguise is our hero.
He is the ideal youth; handsome,
brave, and romantic. He is dis
guised as a servant, and falls in
love with the daughter of a proud
and powerful mandarin.
And the mandarin, no doubt with
a long and stringy black mous
tache, is thundering, cruel and self
ish. He pursues the eloping lov
ers “with dire results,” we are
told.
A very familiar figure in Ori
ental drama is also present in Gro
tesque. None other than the god
of fate. This play would indicate
that he has a sense of humor.
The property man is almost con
stantly present, and the audience
is hereby informed that they are
supposed to ignore him at all times.
The truth is that he is usually
the most important stage figure.
It is hoped that the romantic
natures of the audience will be
stirred by the names of the hero
ine, Kwen-Lin, and the hero,
Chang-Sut-Yen. On the other
hand, the coilegiate readers may
like to know that Althea Peter
son plays Kwen-Lin Friday night,
and that Joyce Busenbark does
the part Saturday night.
In the part of Chang-Sut-Yen
appear Bill Schloth Friday night,
and Bill Thienes Saturday.

Dean of Women Warns Girls
About Lonely Campus Walks
A warning to girls walking on
the campus alone after dark was
issued yesterday by Mrs. Hazel P.
Schwering, dean of women. Mem
ories of “Jack the grabber” and
various other campus prowlers
were revived Friday night, when a
young man leaped after an unsus
pecting coed as she walked down
the cement walk which leads at an
angle westward from the Oregon
Seal in front of Villard hall.
The incident was reported to
Dean Schwering through a Eu
gene woman who had just crossed
11th avenue after descending the
steps in front of Villard hall. It
was about 8 o’clock, quite dark,
and somewhat foggy. Small boys
riding bicycles at apparent risk of
life and limb attracted her atten
tion to the peculiar, soft-footed
leaps of the youth who was fol
lowing the girl. Though she told
herself that the boy probably was
a practical-joking friend of the
oblivious coed, the woman was
suspicious enough to watch for
further developments.
Briskly, all unaware of impend
ing danger, the girl walked past
an evergreen tree whose heavy
branches sweep the edge of the
walk. The "snatcher” speeded up'
his kangaroo-like leaps and threw
or pulled the girl into the gloomy
darkness of the branches. She
screamed twice, but there was no
one to hear, except, fortunately,
the woman across the street.
The woman ran quickly toward
the struggling pair. The “grab
ber” broke away and hurried off
in the direction of the library ten
nis courts. In the fog, the only
clothing detail the woman was able
to note was that he wore light
trousers.
The girl dazedly gathered up
her books and her untouched purse
and felt for the buttons which had
been pulled off her leather jacket
in the tussle. White-faced and
trembling she stepped back onto
the sidewalk, where she was met
by her rescuer, who offered to walk
home with her, but who gracious
ly refrained from asking her name.
So the name of the girl and the
identity of the “grabber" remain
unsolved mysteries. But the wet
lawn is scraped obviously in at
least two places, as mute evidence
of the struggle.
Though she would not unduly
alarm students, since there is cer
tainly not a prowler behind each

Villard Tonight
Slate First Talk at 7:30,
Second at 8:15
SCHEDULE CHANGED
Miss Rankin and Dr. Nakamura
On Program; General Topic
Foreign Relations
Miss Jeannetle Rankin, first
woman elected to the United
States congress, and Dr. Kaju
Nakamura, Japanese diplomat, will
both speak at 7:30 tonight in tho
Villard assembly hall. Miss Ran
kin will be the first to address the
group, her topic being “Interna
tional Relations.'1 At approxi
mately S:15, Dr. Nakamura will
speak on “Japanese-American Re
lations.” This arrangement has
been made because of conflicting
schedules of these two noted
speakers.
Miss Rankin, formerly of Mon
tana, is now residing in Washing
ton, L. C., where she is prominent
in government politics. Since her
term in congress she has worked
persistently for the establishment
of peace. She has attended the
meetings of the assembly of the
League of Nations, and for several
years has been associate secretary
for the National Council for Pre
vention of War. Between sessions
of congress she has organized for
peace and spoken on the lecture
platform.
Dr. Nakamura is well known
throughout the United States and
abroad. He was formerly- director
of the Fukutoka savings bank and
of the National Marine Products
company, and is now editor and
publisher of a monthly magazine,
Japanese Abroad. Nakamura has
personally conducted six tours for
travel and observation in Europe
and the United States.
He also organized the summer
college of Oriental culture, con
ducted at the Tokyo Imperial uni
versity, intended to help aliens
gain a better knowledge of Jap
anese culture. Dr. Nakamura has
secured for the faculty of this col
lege, which opened in the summer
of 1931, the services of outstand
ing authorities in Japanese aca
demic circles. During the summer
of 1932 more than 100 American
men and women registered for
study courses in this college.
Miss Rankin’s major interest is
the prevention of war and the or
ganization of the world on the
i basis of the Briand-Kellogg pact.
She graduated from the University
of Montana and also attended the
University of Washington and the
New York School of Philanthropy.
Teaches at Brown
Ivan R. Taylor, who received his
M.S. degree from the University
in 1924 and who later earned a
Ph.D. degree at the University of
Pennsylvania, has a position as as
I sistant professor of physiology at
1 Brown university at Providence.
Miss Rankin Shows Interest
In Varied Group of Activities
Miss Jeannette Rankin, first wo
man elected to the United States
congress, who will speak tonight
at 7:30 in Villard hall and tomor
row, was born where women from
the beginning have carried their
full share of work and responsi
bility and were first given the
rights of citizens.
Her early home was in Missoula,
Montana, and she is a graduate of
the University of Montana. She
early in life became interested in
the needs and problems of other
parts of the country, for she stud
ied at the University of Washing
ton and the New York School of
Philanthropy. She led and won the
campaign for suffrage in her own
state in 1914.
In 1916 Miss Rankin was elect
ed to congress as a republican
while a democratic landslide was
sweeping the country, her victory
was therefore a personal tribute to
her popularity. She cast her first
vote in congress in April, 1917,
when she voted against this coun
try’s entrance into the war.
Since her term in congress, Miss
Rankin has worked persistently
and fearlessly for the establish
ment of peace. She was one of the
prominent figures at the Interna
tional Meeting of Women held si
multaneously with the negotia
tions of the peace treaty. She has
attended the meeting of the As
sembly of the League of Nations.
She worked hard for the outlawry
of war.
While Miss Rankin’s major in
terest is the prevention of war and
the organization of the world on
the basis of the Briand-Kellogg
pact, she has many other inter
ests. Her efforts both in and out
of congress for humanitarian meas
ures recently led a labor official
to declare her record on such ques
tions “better than one hundred
per cent.”
She is regarded as one of the
most attractive women speakers
on the public platform today. Her
topics include “Disarmament and
the Disarmament Conference,”
“Implications of the Kellogg
Pact,” and “How Public Opinion
Can Promote Peace.”
Tonight Miss Rankin will ad
dress students at a meeting at 7:30
o'clock in Villard hall. She will ad
dress a mass meeting of women
students in Gerlinger tomorrow at
3 o’clock. This meeting will be fol
lowed by an informal tea, at which
