Acquaintances Express Deepest
Sorrow in Eassing of Oregon
Statesman
(Continued from Paye One)
of the school from the first, and
at many times came to Eugene
to speak to classes and at one
time negotiations were under way
looking to his accepting a posi
tion with the school. His loss will
be deeply felt and long remem
bered.”
James D. Barnett, professor of
political science: “We have lost
one of our best officers of state.”
Gilbert, Morse Speak
Jkmes H. Gilbert, dean of the
college of social science: “Hal
Hoss was the finest type of
younger statesman. He was
greatly interested in human be
ings and approached all problems j
with a calm and humorous atti- I
tude. He never allowed himself
to be swayed out of the line of
absolute fairness.”
Dean Wayne L. Morse of the
law school: “Hal Hoss, as secre
tary of state exemplified a ke'en
appreciation of the responsibili
ties which a public servant owes
to the people of the state he
serves. He was a man of unques
tioned integrity and unafraid to
stand for unpopular issues if he
believed them to be right.” j
ueain ureat ja>ss
Karl W. Onthank, dean of per- :
sonnel administration: “I knew
Hal Hoss for nearly 20 years. His
fine sincerity and consideration
for others is rarely equalled. He
was an able newspaperman and j
public administrator. His un
timely death is a great loss to
Oregon and a personal bereave
ment to a host of friends.”
Earl M. Pallett, registrar: “Hoss
was a very capable man. His
death is a blow to state admin
istration.”
Philip A. Parsons, professor of
sociology: “In the death of Hoss
the state of Oregon lost a public
servant in the finest sense of that
word. He was a scholar and a j
gentleman, a statesman rather j
than a politician.”
Hoss Interested in Students
Arne G. Rae, assistant professor
of journalism and manager of the
Oregon State Editorial associa
tion: “The’ death of Hal Hoss is
a genuine loss to the faculty and
students of Oregon’s University
and college. As former regent of •
the two institutions he was in
tensely interested in state educa
tion. Faculty and students were
his friends; leaders of the Uni
versity and college as w'ell as stu
dents, felt free to swing his door;
and be asked to ‘pull up a stool’
if they sought his counsel. Many
a graduate and student of the
University and college is indebted
to him for the encouragement
that he gave to them.”
Carlton E. Spencer, professor of
law: “Hoss had a -host of friends
on the University of Oregon fac
ulty. He was respected as an ef
ficient state official. We also had
a great confidence in bis integrity,
sincerity of his purpose and devo
tion to public interest. The state
has sustained a real loss in his
untimely death.”
More Praise Given
W. F. G. Thacher, professor of
English and business administra
tion: “Qualities I shall remember
are his essential sincerity and his
affectionate interest in young
people. He would go out of his
way to help any young person.”
George Turnbull, professor of
journalism: “I had known him for
15 years. There isn’t any mem
ber of my circle of acquaintances
I will miss more than Hal. He
was the personification of friend
liness, and probably loved as a
brother by more people than any
other in the state of Oregon.”

For Seashore
Office Outfitted as One
Of CWA Projects
Psychology Laboratory One of
Best Designed Departments
On Oregon Campus
Visitors to Dr. Robert H. Sea
shore, associate professor of psy
chology, can now enter his office
and turn around without moving
one foot in order to find a place
to put the other. He has a new
office one door down the hail from
his old one, which he himself re
marked was so crowded that in
order to get up from his desk
he had to push his chair out. and
to one side and squirm into a
standing position, then push the
chair back so as to have room
to move. The new office was out
fitted with bookcases and drawers
as one of the C. W. A. projects.
In speaking about the offices
and laboratory rooms of the psy
chology department, which are on
the top floor of Condon hall, Dr.
Seashore remarked: “This is one
of the best designed and finest
equipped psychology laboratories
in the country, as well as one of
the most adequately designed de
partments on the campus.
“Every room is wired for alter
nating, direct, and timed electri
cal currents, and has both com
pressed air and gas, so that lab
oratory apparatus can be set up
in any room in the department.
The floor has a special felt base,
and the walls are specially built
for sound-proofing. We have a
completely equipped shop for
building and repairing our own
apparatus, except for metal work,
which has to be done elsewhere.”
The University of Oregon psy
chology department, according to
Doctor Seashore, is one of a very
few in the country having indi
vidual laboratory rooms for ele
mentary students. Each of these
looms has a cabinet with the
supplies necessary for conducting
Collection of Articles
In Department of Lost

The spring weather seems to
have had a decided effect upon
the collection of articles at the
lost and found department.
The collection was the small

years, according to Allen Ty
son, University postmaster, un
til the warm sunny days came
along and the meager supply
began to increase. A watch, a
small coin purse, gloves, scarfs,
and a pair of glasses are wait
ing to be claimed by the own
ers.
all the experiments to be held
throughout the year.
The building was designed by
Dean Ellis F. Lawrence of the
school of fine arts with sugges
tions from Dr. Edmund S. Conk
lin, head of the psychology de
partment, and Professor Raymond
Wheeler, who was here before Dr.
Seashore, and is now head of the
psychology department at the
University of Kansas.

COLONIAL — “Counsellor-at

Daniels, Isabel Jewell, Doris
Kenyon.
By J.A. NEWTON
Isabel Jewell plays the part of a
switchboard operator in “Coun
sellor-at-law," John Barrymore’s
show at the Colonial. Those who
have seen her in more serious roles
will be surprised at this gym
chewing, fast-talking portrayal.
Just a crazy gabby dame, that’s
all she is. She puts it across.
Barrymore never had a role
which fit him better than does this
one. Rapid action, dynamics, fast
thinking and talk. All right up
Barrymore’s alley.
Barrymore dominates the pic
ture with the Barrymore theatri
cal manners and gestures. Bebe
Daniels is busily present in the
background as the lawyer’s secre
tary who maintains a secret love
for her employer. He, of course,
never notices her unless he has
some business to transact.
All the time she realizes how
the boy’s wife is two-timing him
on the side but she keeps mum.
Really good stuff. Moves very
fast.
OSC Professors Visit Here
Dr. Albert E. Caswell and Dr.
VV. P. Boynton, of the physics de
partment at Oregon State college,
were visitors at the University
Monday. Dr. Boynton was for

ment here, and Dr. Caswell, a
professor of physics.
Social Science Classes Busy
Students in Dr. Samuel H. Jame

this week. Ethics of many differ
ent industries and professions are
being studied, making necessary
use of library reference sources.
Spencer, Morse
Prove Waltzing
Talent at Dance
For the second consecutive year
Carlton E. Spencer, professor of
law, won the prize waltz at the
law school dance, when last Fri
day night, he was judged best
waltzer, with Dean Wayne L.
Morse running him a close second.
In commenting upon his victory,
Professor Spencer stated that ha
owed his success to “having en
tered the University of Oregon at
a day when waltzing was in
vogue.”
The fox-trot at the law school
dance was won by Bill Whitely
and Thelma Kem, with John Casey
and Betty Hudson as runners-up.
Prizes for the dance were do
nated by campus merchants. Pro
fessor Spencer received an order
for a shave - and - a - haircut at
Charlie Elliott's barber shop, Mrs.
Spencer received a box of station
ery from the Co-op, Bill Whitely,
an order for two dinners at the
College Side, and Thelma Kem,
five pounds of bath salts from the
Oregon pharmacy.
The main feature of the dance,
aside from the prize contests, was
Walter (John Jack) Hempstead’s
rendition of “The Face on the
Barroom n . . : . ’ According to a
reliable eye-witness, this selection
“was the high light of the eve
ning, adding a classical touch to
an otherwise common atmos
phere.”
Jewell in Portland
Dean J. R. Jewell, of the school
of education, left Eugene Monday

I Tuesday at Jefferson high school
and will be at Lincoln high today,
following out the education facul
