Library Gets
Collection of
Negro Songs
1000 Libraries Receive
Works of Foster
Group Consists of Reproductions
Of Original Manuscripts
Of 200 Pieces
Unique and valuable in many
ways is a gift received yesterday
by the University library. It is a
collection of reproductions of the
works of Stephen Collins Foster,
composer of “My Old Kentucky
Home," “Old Black Joe,’ and
many other well known negro
songs.
Josiah Kirby Lilly, of the Foster
hall staff is presenting 1000 such
collections to libraries strategical
ly located in this and other coun
tries, free of charge so that the
works of the famous composer
may be preserved in their original
form.
The collection is in a dust-proof
steel case of three shelves, in
which are slip covers of buckram
housing- the pieces, which are sep
arate and arranged in’ alphabetical
order.
Accompanying the collection is
a book giving information about
the publication of the works and
an index complete in every detail.
Each of Foster’s works is re
produced in exact detail from cop
ies of first editions when they
could be obtained a.*d otherwise
from the earliest obtainable edi
tions. Two hundred pieces are in
cluded, reproduced in the first
form in which they appeared,
whether it was as shee music, in
a magazine, or in a song book.
These reproductions are intended
to be used as a basis for determin
ing the authenticity of copies of
the composer’s works. They were
privately printed by Josiah Kirby
Lilly on specially water-marked
rag paper. It is the intention of
the publisher to reproduce Foster
any others of Foster’s works that
may be discovered by the Foster
hall research staff and send them
to the libraries which have these
collections.
BRIEF PRESENTS VIEWS

“5. The present grounds for ex
emption are unsatisfactory. (Ex
emption on the ground of consci
entious objection is not satisfac- J
tory. It should not be necessary in
a college which purports to he a
liberal institution to make the cri
teria for student action confirma
tion to religious beliefs . . . Exemp
tion is conferred by army officers
who, both because of training' and
economic interest, should not be
expected to be impartial judges.
Exemption because of scruples is
only obtained after considerable
embarrassemnt and official red
tape . . . )
“G. Military 111, 112, 113, and
Sophomore Military 211, 212, and
213 do not constitute a satisfac
tory course in citizenship and
should not be maintained as com
pulsory on those grounds.
“7. More than 20 other univer
sities and colleges in the United
States have found it advisable
either to shift military training
from compulsory to optional stat
us or to abolish it completely.
“The reasons given above are all
offered in support of the thesis
that the courses cited do not
offer values which warrant their
present compulsory status. We
ask, therefore, that military train
ing be placed on a par with other
courses which, however valuable,
are not required of the students at
the University of Oregon.”

All of these cheeses were bought
in Eugene, but the students had

are those which are pasteurized.

“To train young women in busi

principles” is the purpose of Web
ber eollege, a unique innovation in
higher education history, located in
Boston and Babson Park, Florida,
according' to the catalog issued by
the college a copy of which was
sent to the offices of the Univer
sity dean of women, Mrs. Hazel P.
Schwering.
Webber college, established by
Mrs. Reger W. Babson, wife of the
famous economist, represents an
entirely new idea in the education
of women. As the catalog says,
“It is the first school of its kind
in the world organized to be oper
ated without profit, exclusively to
fit women to meet the business re
sponsibilities of private or busi
ness life.”
There are but two semesters in
the school year of Webber, the first
in Boston, the second in Florida.
School is dismissed on May 8, there
being no Easter holidays. The cur
riculum includes a two-year course
for graduate students, high school
graduates or women with some
college experience.
The courses include such sub
jects as typewriting, accounting,
sociology, government, literature,
economics, social welfare, and aims
to “prepare young women for the
responsibilities they will incur in

The "Ked Head’’
The opening scenes of this film
are somewhat disappointing, due
to the drab surroundings and the
undulating speech of Madame
Lepic, terror of the household.
Just about the time one is won
dering whether he will ever un
derstand what the whole thing is
about (the dialogue is in French,
with subtitles in English! the ac
tion becomes organized and from
then on moves logically forward.
One feature of this film is the
time and detail spent in introduc
ing the characters, which is done
with ingenuity and thoroughness.
The simplicity of the entire
film seemingly makes it impos
sible for any great dramatic
heights to be attained, but such
is not the case, rather the ab
sence of superfluous digressions
allows the more fundamental emo
tions to come into full play.
“Mr. Skifch”
Will’s brand of humorous wise
cracks coupled with the Zasu
Pitts clowning (or is it clown
ing?) are the main features of
this picture showing at the Mac
for the last time today. The theme
is the depression one, where the
poor family has to vacate and
turn to the highways for a living,
only to return after an appropri
ate interval to start all over
again. -
Laurel and Hardy have made
another feature called "Sons of
the Dessert.” Don’t know much
about it but seems that they are
delegates to a convention and then
have a hard time getting rid of
their suspecting wives. Coming
tomorrow.
