The Oregon Daily Emerald, official student publication of the University of Oregon, Eugene, published daily during the college year, except Sundays, Mondays, holidays, examination periods, all of December and all of March except the first three days. Entered in the postofficc at Eugene, Oregon, as second-class matter. Subscription rates, $2.50 a year. “THE GREAT GLIBERA!/’ ■pOR all these years we’ve been hanging on Ihe words of Glenn Frank, thunderous trumpeter for liberalized educati n, vociferous champion of the new era in learning. The Emerald, last year and this, has frequently quoted President Frank, has viewed him as the great apostle of progress in his field. If Ernest L. Meyer, writing in the current issue of the American Mercury, is correct, we should regard him as the great apostate. But our tardi ness of perception is forgivable, for Mr. Meyer says “it took the campus (University of Wisconsin) two years to doubt him, four to see through him, and six to regard him with amused contempt. And to day, eight years after his arrival, he has probably not a single admirer left. . . .” When Frank came to the University of Wiscon sin, he was hailed as the leader of the “Revolt Against Education,” as the “boy president” who was to launch a new scheme of higher learning. His Experimental college, under the direction of sincere Dr. Alexander Meiklejohn, was to introduce a new technique professors would become tutors, scholars would educate themselves and discipline themselves. The dream of Dr. Meiklejohn has faded, the Experimental college has disappeared, and Meyer attributes its failure largely to the lack of support from Glenn Frank. President Frank prohibited Dora Russell, femi nist and advocate of companionate marriage, from speaking at Wisconsin, after she had been invited by the Student Forum. The dean of men wouldn’t even let her accept an invitation to dinner at a fraternity house. President Frank is declared to have alienated all the progressives, to have exhib ited profound lack of erudition, to have permitted, nay, proposed, a manifestly unfair schedule of sal ary cuts which penalized heavily the great number of small-salaried professors without correspond ingly greater cuts for the high-salaried officials. Can this be the Glenn Frank who was quoted in the Emerald a year ago as saying, “Now is the time to declare a moratorium on vested interests and vested ideas . . ? Can this be the Glenn Frank the Emerald quoted a little more than a week ago, in an article titled: “On Radicalism"? Apparently our idol may be suspected of having pedal extremities of clay, if so, he would not bo the first to have learned that prating of liberalism can be made to pay well for a time. But eventu ally people catch on, and they apply epithets like “the great gliberal” that's what Madison citizens are now said to be calling the president of the Uni versity of Wisconsin. It looks like the beginning of the end. Insincerity doesn’t last long, particu larly when the insincere one writes and talks as frequently and loudly as does President Glenn Frank.

HENKIETTK HORAlv. IMPORTANT WORK DONE AT RESEARCH MEETING (Continued from Page One) reports of progress from faculty members who have received grants and passing on projects faculty members would like to undertake next year were some of the mat ters discussed at the meeting. At the session were Acting Pres ident C. V. Boyer, Ralph W. Leigh ton. executive secretary of the re search committee: liobert 11. Sea shore and Ia>!cr from tb; Uni versity. Dean Packard of the Ore gon State college school of science is chairman of the council. The acting presidents of both the University and the college were present and expressed their belief in the necessity for re search. “It is unforunate,” said Taylor “that the present economic condi tions make it necessary to reduce the amount of research undertak en, since now, more than before there is greater need for such work.” The research council handles grants given to aid professors in research work and consists of the chairmen of divisional councils from the University and the state college. The budget for next year's re search work will be arranged at Uil uc.vt rn rtH'g during the cpimg term, faylor said.

SAY IT FAST WE still retain a sentimental fondness for the memory of Dean John Straub, late professor emeritus of Greek at this forgetful University of ours. We are not alone in that affection for the nild-spoken, kindly mannered counsellor of fresh men. But we're sorry they named the men's dormi ;ory after him, rather than some other building. Hie dormitory is formally dedicated to his memory, you remember—last year at a rather impressive ceremony that imposing structure was christened John Straub Memorial building. Nobody ever calls the building by its proper name, however, and the worthy name of Straub seems destined to die out just because it's much easier to say Men's Dorm than to say John Straub Memorial building. We have often considered im posing a strict rule upon all Emerald writers that Lhey refer to the building by its proper-name, and thus by constantly dinning it into campus ears bring about popular acceptance. That's the way the old "women's building” was changed to the more proper Gerlinger hall. In this case it would be impossible. Nobody will mouth "John Straub Memorial building” as long as here's a shorter term available. "Straub build ing” is shorter, but its difficult labial stops don't lend themselves to ready usage. "Straub hall” is better, but is officially incorrect. Will somebody please suggest a way for the Emerald to help perpetuate the name of Dean John Straub ? i OVERFLOW I P. MORGAN takes an awful beating. " * Twice this week we have heard stories that pick on him. The first was last Sunday when Warren D. Smith told of a holy painting in a little church in Alaska. J. P. offered $25,000 for it, and was told no. The second was an item we noticed in a magazine about a solid teakwood shrine in New York Chinatown. Morgan tried to buy it for $150,000 and was told no. It's a hard life when you run around getting your checks turned down, and wind up with a midget in your lap. Placard in downtown window: “We are well equipped to write any kind of INS.” Thought you might be int. Lots and lots of people ask us how we keep on turning out editorials and columns day after day. Don't we e-ver run out of material ? The answer is, of course, that we do run out of ma terial; we rau out early in the year and we've just filled space since then. So far, wo haven't remotely approached the point of our little piece, but here it is, and so help us, it's true. A lady member of Professor Turnbull's journalism class became a bit puz zled about the 50-years-ago column in the Ore gonian, and she halted the class to query: "But, Professor Turnbull, don't they ever run out of material?" We understand that the good professor was a hit bewildered himself at this, but he care fully explained to the ydung lady that every day brings its quota of news, that this process was going on 50 years ago just as it does now, and there really isn't much danger of running out for a long, long time. In Bondage ... By STANLEY ROBE 1 _ , 1 The University’s Early History Editor’s note: Tins is the fourth of a series of interviews with Dr. F. G. G. Schmidt, head of the department of Germanic languages and literature, and oldest in service of the Univer sity faculty, on early history of the University of Oregon. By DOUG POLIVKA i4TlOW and when was the Uni versity of Oregon founded?” To this question, Dr. Schmidt answered, “It was founded and lo cated at Eugene in 1872, by an act of the state legislature. The school was open and began giving j instruction in the year 1876. “Up until the time the Univer i sity was placed under a state I board of higher education, its management of affairs was in the hands of a board of regents. This board was appointed for a term of twelve years by the governor of the state and was confirmed by 1 the state legislature. It conferred ! all degrees and granted diplomas,” Dr. Schmidt continued. “The permanent endowment of the University consisted of eighty thousand dollars from the sale of land granted to the state by the government for the purpose of establishing a University,” j Schmidt explained, i "A fund of fifty thousand dol lars was donated by the great | railroad magnate, Henry Villard,” stated Schmidt. “This is one rea son why Villard hall is so named, and why almost every early cata logue mentions the fact that the University is situated on the Ore gon and California railroad. The railroad regarded the Villard building as one of the scenic spots on the line.’’ in issy tne university was made the state depository of all documents published by the gov ernment, through the influence of the Honorable J. N. Dolph, then Oregon’s United States senator. In the same year the University had approximately two thousand dol lars worth of mathematical in struments, including surveying and engineering implements. The phys ics and chemistry apparatus was valued at more than three thou sand dollars. The following are quotations from the 1889-90 catalogue: “The departments of geology, mineralogy and natural history are provided with large and valu able collections to illustrate their teachings. Professor Condo n’s cabinet is already widely known on this coast, and is justly noted for its record of Oregon's former history.” “All the express companies doing business in the state have generously proposed to trans port articles to the Museum' free of charge; weight of any one shipment not to exceed twenty-five pounds.” Marking and grading then was still done on the old scale of one hundred, with sixty as a mini mum. a SLuaeni wno, in any one study, falls below sixty (60) is thereby conditioned as to his class standing, and in order to be re stored to full standing he must pass in a re-examination some time before the regular examina tions of the following term; when, however, a student falls below sixty in more than one study of the same term, or in one study in two consecutive terms, espe cially in the first and second terms of the year, he shall thereby for feit or lose his class standing.” When asked the reason for the peep-holes in the doors of the Oregon building, Dr. Schmidt explained that the building, now housing the law school and the language departments, was built to house the school of educa tion, and that the heads of that department checked on their practice teachers to see that they were not “asleep on the job.” ; i Reading Writing PEGGY CHESSMAN, Editor Editor's note: Heading and Writing today presents a re i view by !S.

Joyce found Europe in pretty much of a mess during the years ( 11914 to 1921, when he was writing ; he recalled his Dublin days of 1904, and concluded that the mess had been developing even then. He could not see much hope in the fu ture, either for the average self j made man like the Irish Hungar 1 ian Jew, Leopold Bloom, perhaps the champion muddle-mind in all j literature: nor yet much more! hope for intellectuals like himself I and his friends. The world of the great city seemed to him drab, dusty, and preposterous, suffering from spir it mil decay. Yet he had to make j some adjustment to this sorry muck heap on which he found him self cast. So he exorcised his dis gust by painting this world as it was, with an aroused fury of j truthfulness rarely equalled since the early church fathers. But he had to live in this world somehow, and come to terms with it. And that is where his comic irony comes in Rideo quia desperandum. 1 laugh because there is no hope, might be his motto. The bad jokes of the ' Jrkfir jfg ->> 4 t ^ ■ 1 that one must resort to irony tor. defense. And his irony runs the whole gamut. In the “chaffering all-including most farraginous chronicle,” as Joyce describes his work, the strokes of ironic wit are, the “sun ny islets of the blest and the in telligible” (Did Carlyle say this of Coleridge, or Coleridge of Car lyle ?). I subjoin a few specimens from “Ulysses,” beginning wdth bad puns and inverted proverbs, put in with sardonic intent: If others have a Will, Ann Hath a Way. Woman: the unfair sex. God made the country, man the tune. Aristotle was Plato's schoolboy once-- and has remained so, one would hope, added John Eglington. Who made the allegation, says he? I, says Joe, I'm the alligator.

Elinor Glyn and Billy Sunday and other eminent vulgarians come in for passing no tice. Besides these flourishes, there are many passages of wit and irony far more profound in their implications, deserving in fact the name and style of “cosmic irony,” in that they show the slips in the very funny make-up of the Universe, and make us wonder if the world was really made for man. I suppose I should offer, as Ar temus Ward used to on his London programs, to call on readers and explain any of Joyce’s jokes which they may not understand; but I maintain that in the midst of all ] the stream - of - consciousness j stuff, and the erudite conversa tions. and the topsy-turvy take-off on Freud’s nightmare world, there are these flashes of Irish wit, and leaping thrusts of Joycean irony which will strike home even to the common reader—though if he i reads Joyce he will become an un common person, judging by all the Greenwich Village precedents I en countered from 1921 to 1925. Innocent Bystander By BARNEY CLARK We have long admired S. Stev enson Smith in our humble way, and here is one of the reasons why: Mr. Smith was lecturing to one of his classes on sex education. He asked the members how liberal they thought discussion of the question ought to be. Says a Theta, “I feel that such discussion is all right among adult groups, but who is going to tell our youth about it?” Says S. S. S., “Who is going to carry coals to Newcastle ?” People certainly went in for serenades night ’fore last. There was the Beta serenade of the Alpha Phi house, and the Alpha Phi serenade of the Beta dive, during which one of the Alpha I'hinds fell into the mijlraclb, and being unable to swim, had to be fished out by a courageous sister. The Alpha Phis enjoyed this immensely, but the Betas were worried, and stood on the bank in silent and awe-struck terror. Good ol’ Betas! Aa-a-nd there was the Scabbard and Blade serenade. This was a' | Emerald of the Air AT the sound of the gong for 4:30 this afternoon, we re move the asbestos from around the mike for 15 minutes of har mony with our star blues crooner, Lou Perry. Modern rhythm is the essence of this broadcast, which is crammed full of the latest “moon and-spoon” songs. Maxine Mc Donald accompanies at the piano, and since we called her a “piano pounder" last week, we hereby wish to retract this derogatory ex pression. The program originates in the studios of KORE. demure little affair, and we have only heard of it from the Gamma Phis, so maybe it didn't happen at all, but was only Donin going by in the stilly night. Or maybe it was the Madmen’s serenade, which also occurred. This was a choice affair indeed. No one, not even Chancellor Kerr, knows just who perpetrated it. At the Pi Phi cave they said they were the Phi Delts, and at the Kappas they said they were the Phi Delts, but at the Delta Gam ma tong they ’lowed they were Chi Psis and dedicated eight songs to Betty Graham. At the Theta hangout their enunciation wasn’t clear enough to determine just what they claimed to be, so it is conceivable that when they reached the Gamma Phis they might have sunk to claiming they were Scabbard and Blade. At any rate, the last seen of the great enterprise was two of the lads hotfooting it down Alder street, each with a pail of beer balanced on an out stretched hand, and a blue-coat on close pursuit. They were go ing faster, but the cop was traveling in a straight line. And then there is Dick Carter’s new theme song, which is “Night Owl.” Dick strained an eye muscle studying (ha!) and his physician has ordered him to sit in the dark and rest his eyes. It is very lonely in the dark, so Dick is looking for a companion, pref erably feminine, to sit in the dark with him and keep him company.
