Survey of Tests
Psychological Examinations Show
Rating Superior to Average
State University
Students of Oregon rank slightly
above those in the average state
university intellectually, according
to a survey just completed by Dr.
Howard R. Taylor of the psychol
ogy department. In view of the
changes in the higher educational
organization affecting the Univer
sity, and the decreased enrollment,
probably attributable in part to
the severe depression. Dr. Taylor!
remarked that it interested him |
to note the comparison of the in
tellectual calibre of this year’s en
tering class with that of other
years, and with those of other
state universities.
In the past this has been diffi
cult because a different form of
psychological examination has
been given each year; so what
previous classes would have done j
on this particular form of exami- j
nation had they taken it is un
known, although the examinations
are presumed to be of nearly equal
difficulty. This year, however,
the 1930 psychological examina
tion was repeated, direct compari
sons between the scores of the
freshman class of 1930, of this
year’s class, and the scores of
freshman classes in other state
universities being made possible.
Oregon Ranks Sixth
In the published norms for the
A. C. E. psychological examina
tion of 1930, comparative data for
14 state universities are given.
Among these, the University of
Michigan ranked first and Oregon
sixth, just above the University of
Illinois, which was in the middle.

Dr. T. % Morgan, noted zoolo

1933 Nobei c*.’ize in medicine for
work in the iield of chromosomes.
The state univmoities scoring low
est on this examination were fur
ther below the University of Ore
gon than Michigan was above.
“This would seem to indicate,”
Dr. Taylor explained, “that Oregon
ranks a little above the average
i state university in intellectual cal
ibre, so far as analysis can be
made from the psychological tests
given in 1930 ”
Higher Score Made
When the examination was re
peated with the freshman class of
this year, a slightly higher aver
age score than that made by the
entering class of 1930 was at
tained. Commenting* upon this,
Dr. Taylor mentioned that a cer
tain proportion of students capable
of making the very highest test
scores would be expected to go to
the state college because of the
removal of the school of science.
The physical science and mathe
matics majors are among those
who have always made the high
est scores. If that .has occurred,
it has been offset, according to
Dr. Taylor, by the selective action
of the depression, since success in
such tests is known to be corre
lated to some extent with favor
able economic status.
"The significance of these find
ings,” concluded Dr. Taylor, “lies
in the fact that these tests meas
ure general aptitude for college
work. It does not mean that
other things, such as interest, ef
fort, and study habits are not im-1
portant, but it does mean that the
kind of work the individual can
do is limited to some extent by
the intellectual capacity indicated
in these scores.”

quired only the perspective of time
to judge whether it really was
equal to the Greek temple.
Esthehtics Missing
i “Esthehtics have been dropped
out of American life in the past
150 years,” Watson stated. "‘Our
furniture has gone through a se
ries of periods, mostly imported,
| until it is no wonder that we are
glad to go to the movies for some
j thing American. We must revive
| American taste."
The lecturer concluded by urg
ing everyone to give a greater por
tion of his time to the understand
! ing of beauty. “Know the arts,
and life is never dull,” he asserted.
“Go to school reciting poetry. Read
the two wisest books ever written,
the Bible and Shakespeare. Learn
the languages of music, painting,
architecture, and sculpture, for art
is the greatest treasury of life.
Then everyone will be happy, and
another ‘golden age’ will be ush
ered in.”
Watson conducted a forum in
Geriinger alumni hall after his
speech, answering the questions
put to him by students.

problem from three angles: first,
to look into the history of the
prohibition question in the United
States and try to determine why
it was or was not a success; sec
ondly, to observe various control |
plans now in effect throughout the
world; and third, to try to con
struct from these various plans a
system of control that would be
workable in the United States.

Dean Earl Takes Large Part
In Junior-Soph Battle of 1903
By VELMA McINTiTRE
Men earned their campus lunch
eon by the sweat of their brow
25 or 30 years ago. A forenoon
of manual labor spent in laying
sidewalks and cleaning up the
campus in general was rewarded
by a hearty lunch prepared by the
, coeds of the day. And now, how
all this came about:
The last gory battle between the
juniors and sophomores on Junior
| clay was abolished after the dis
astrous outcome of the conflict of
11903, in which our most dignified
dean of men, Virgil D. Earl, played
an effective part. Women in the
class of '03 spent hours making a
glorious flag to be flown, as was
the custom, by the junior class
on their day. On the eve of this
day the flag was raised before
Villard and to preserve the pre
cious creation from the malice of
its sophomore enemies, a drygoods
box containing two male guards
was hoisted up the pole.
The brainy headwork of Virgil
Earl won the victory for the sophs.
The guards, sitting in their sus
pended fortress, were suddenly
surprised by a deluge of water
pouring on them from a fire hose
in Villard. The box descended
slowly as the water rained in and
the culprits were brought down.
A bloody battle ensued, the flag
was torn to shreds, and coeds lit
erally wept over the fragment of
their workmanship. Their spirits
were not daunted, however, for
they set to work making a new
emblem and their honor was
saved.
In 1905, President Lucien P.
Campbell installed University day.
which was to be a day of construc
tion instead of destruction. The
first walk north of Deady was
laid on University day in 1900.
The engineering department was
then a part of the University and
under its supervision the men of
the campus laid the waik.
The walk from Deady to Kin
caid, as the dates show, was laid
by pieces during successive years.
In 1907 a piece was laid directly
in front of Deady and in 1908 an
other added to it. The next seg
ment (1909) we find way down
past the middle of the walk. The
athletic field was then in that
part of the campus and probably
explains the gap. When races and
other events were held, the board
walk was taken up in this place,
since a cement walk could hardly
have been so easily and conven
iently removed. It was about 1911
that the athletic field was trans
ferred to its present location and
the missing unit was added. The
last class to exert its energies in
paving was the class of 1912,
which completed the walk from
Deady to Kincaid.

On History
"The Private Life of Henry
VIII" skips Henry's first wife with
the sub-title remark, "Henry Di
vorced his first wife, as she was a
respectable woman.” It begins
with the execution of Ann Boleyn,
who gets the axe for no good rea
son except that Hank has a new
frau picked for himself.
A few signals are rigged up so
that the moment the blade meets
the block Henry can proceed with
his marriage to a stupid and beau
tiful lass. The third wife dies
when the king's son is born.
The fourth wife is a German, (or
is she Dutch) girl of nobility, who
makes herself so unattractive to
Henry that he plays cards with her
all night. It was a political mar
riage, anyway. She wins the game
and generally gets in Henry's hair
(what there is of it) until he gives
her a stack of favors to go away.
The fifth wife, Katheryn, desires
the social position and luxuries
anent being a queen, although she
really loves another handsome
young gentleman. The young cou
ple carry on a clandestine affair
behind Henry’s back. When he
finds out, off comes Katheryn’s
head.
It seems Henry really loved
Katheryn and missed her when she
“died.” So when another Katha
rine comes along, Henry married
her. She is just like a mother to
him, and quite gets on his nerves.
Thus does the movie present the
story.

Ancient Book by
Boetiusls Kept in
Vault of Library
Extreme age characterizes a
book fragment which is kept in
the vault at the library. It is the
oldest publication the library owns,
and is a work by Boetius, a Ro
man philosopher who lived in the
first part of the sixth century.
“Arithmetica, Geometrica, et
Musica Boettii” is the heading on
the first page of the fragment.
The last page, which is evidently
also the last page of the original
book, bears the date 1492, and
states that the book was printed
in Venice by John and Gregory
Gregory.
The subject matter is in Latin,
and is illustrated with diagrams
cut on wood blocks. In this book
on mathematics, music is treated
as part of the subject, as it was
always considered in early times.
A printers’ mark appears on the
back of the last page, being a sort
of monogram set in a geometrical
design.
Edgar E. DeCou, professor of
mathematics, who was instrumen
tal in the library’s purchase of the
book in 1923, often borrows it to
show to his class in the history
of mathematics.

FLYING EIGHT DAYS AND NIGHTS without a stop, Frances

RACING ACROSS AMERICA in 10 hours and

added a new West-East transcontinental
speed record to the East-West record he
won earlier this year. “ Like most pilots
I smoke a lot,” says Col. Turner. “I
smoke Camels (or the sake of healthy
nerves, and 1 enjoy them more.”
Men and women who are famous
for their brilliant flying agree
about smoking and healthy
nerves. “I never worry about
healthy nerves,” they say, “be
cause I smoke Camels.”
They cannot afford to make a
mistake in choosing their ciga
rette. They have to know. And
it is more fun to know, because
of the greater smoking pleasure
they find in Camels. Camels are
milder... better in taste. They
leave no “cigaretty” aftertaste.
