"Mad Anthony’ Is From Shakespeare. Says Prof. Dunn Research Reveals Origin of Nickname Thirty references from Cicero’s Letters and Oration^, corroborate the contention of Frederic S. Dunn, head of the University Latin de partment, in his latest article, “The Classic Origin of Mad Anthony Wayne’s Sobriquet.’’ that the ori gin of "mad’’ Anthony Wayne’s nickname was due to Cicero refer ring to Mark Antony, of Cleopatra fame, as “Mad Antony.” Professor Dunn was prompted, to write this article as a result of; a clipping in the Oregonian several years ago which repeated the find ings of Mr. Charles J. Still, state historian of Pennsylvania, credit ing the origin of the nickname to a | drunken soldier who said that An-j thony Wayne, a genera) of great exploit and daring in the Revolu-j tionary war, was “mad.” A paper on this subject was lead by Dunn before a joint session of the Classical Association of the Pacific States, northern section, and department of Classical Teach ers of State Teachers’ association held in Portland, December 28, 1934. Dunn plans to send his findings to Pennsylvania to the Historical society there. Douglass Finds (Continued from Pa//e Our) racks formed the only furniture. The building- was even without lights so that it was always nec essary to close at 5 p. m. Saturday closing time was noon, and the building was not opened at all on Sunday. Only a small portion of it was then in use as a library. Many offices and classrooms were on the third floor. Dean James H. Gilbert, of the school of social science, had his office and classroom there. So also did Prof. F. G. Young, sociology; Luella Clay Carson, dean of women and teacher of rhetoric; and Mrs. El len M. Pennell, of the English de pa rtment. In the newspaper reading room 'downstairs Dr. Joseph Schaffer, history professor, held sway. An other instructor was in the room just to the north. Oregon’s cor respondence department was lo cated in the room which is now Mr. Douglass’ office. This department, since consoli dated with the extension division, was already being headed by Miss Mozelle Hair. She had been grad uated in 1 OOcS and stepped imme diately into that job. A large circular desk in the mid dle of the main floor handled cir culation, reference, and the re serve departments for the entire school. In 1914 the west wing of the li brary, containing the stack rooms, was added. It climaxed a long pe riod when the grant to the library was slowly and painfully increas ing. Before 1907 the entire Univer sity had received yearly only $55, 000. Then the legislature, in a prosperous mood, raised it to $120, 000. A referendum was promptly petitioned, but caused only a tem porary delay, since it was voted on in June and defeated. The legislature continued to feel prosperous and money flowed in so satisfactorily that several new buildings arose. Oregon hall, the Administration building, and the Journalism school were built. Deady was remodeled and the east wing of Friendly constructed. President Campbell had long been anticipating the enlarged budget, and, when he learned of the increase, immediately went east to pick new faculty members. At least, six were chosen, among them M. H. Douglass. Several ethers who came then are still with the University. CAMITN HEATED BY OIL Oil instead of "hog" fuel is now being used to heat all campus buildings, according to Mr. IV 1. Lewis, superintendent of the physi cal plant. "Hog" fuel, which is consider ably cheaper than oil, is the saw dust and other lumber camp by products, unavailable because of the heavy snows in the mountains which necessitated the closing of the camps.

I World's Best Music Now Available To Oregon Students The world’s finest music, ranging from complete operas to delightful, lighter compositions of the masters, is now available at any time to all students of the University of Oregon, it is announced here bv Dr John J. Landsbury, dean of the school of music. This has been made possible by the com pletion of a special room in the music building, and the installation in it of a complete reproducing music set the gift to the university by the Carnegie Corporation of New York. The gift includes the late-t reproducing and repeating phonograph, 824 records, 260 musical scores, catalogues, 129 of the finest of' books on music, and a filing cabinet. It is valued at more than $2500. Enjoyment of the best in music in this room can only be equaled by actually hearing the greatest of symphonies or artists, it is pointed out by Dean Landsbury. Here a student may sit at a table, with reference books about him if he chooses and by a touch on the remote control buttons near his hand, enjoy the continuous reprod uction of 24 records. These may all be placed on the reproducing machine at one time and then may be Played successively on both sides, on one side, or any record may be repeated or rejected as the list-ner chooses. While the apparatus does practically all of the work of changing selections, at the time it reproduces the music in an amazingly lifelike way. The machine gives true musical tones over the entire range. This includes the 16-cycle bass of the world's largest pipe organ to the topmost note of the piccolo. Co-op Rental Libe Starts Campaign lor Subscribers In spite of the disconcerting rumor that the college student’s only sight of type is in a French textbook or the daily adventures of Li'l Abner, the Co-op is setting out on a reading campaign. The Co-op rental library form erly the “high-hat library,” which abandoned its title upon moving from the balcony to the "lower floor rear” of the Co-op is begin ning a subscription sale this week end. Subscription cards to the library are $1.50 for three months, and en title the holder to take as many books as he wishes. Prices for readers without subscriptions (if they read steadily) would be $4.50 for three months, if one reads non fiction; and $2.70 if one chooses fiction. Charges to non-subscribers are 3 cents a day for fiction, 5 cents a day for other books. The recent ’31 and ’35 publica tions, as well as older books, are on rent at the Co-op. And the hand-in-the-dark and blood-on-the staircase kind of thing (mystery stories to you) fill up a whole shelf. Representatives of the Co-op are selling subscription cards in all liv ing organizations. Students inter ested should call Eleanor Higgins, 204, or see their representative. 1 Storms Rako (Continued from Page One) in North Dakota a farmer col lapsed and died while tramping in .nib-zero weather from his stalled automobile.

Thief" at the McDonald tonight, that is if professors still spend their spare hours with Conan Doyle. We are offering our pass for a week to the person who can figure it out before the "five-min ute” episode. Plot: The Karenina diamonds are used as bait by a French in surance house to lure into the open a group of aristocratic adventur ers who have been tapping' the company's reserves by fake jewel robberies. The jewels are taken aboard train en route to Stp-mboul by gen tlemanly Pierre (Ricardo Cortez, who has purchased them), and un dergo several changes of hand. Love interest: Odette (Mary As tor) shadows the smooth and gra cious Pierre ni quest of the fabu lous diamonds. Then the surprise comes: a woman’s affections are inextricably involved in her mis sion. But there is no gush; no grandiose wringing of hands. The appearance of counter-crooks sends the action into other channels. The suspense is sustained, the action almost too fast for normal brain consumption. The charac ters are faultlessly chosen and de veloped and conduct themselves in a smooth restrained manner that should please even a Dr. Ernst. The California scenery all the way to Stamboul lends a charming homey atmosphere. By Cynthia Liljeqvist Nancy Carroll As the action takes place on the limited in “I Am a Thief,” likewise, in “Translantic Merry-go-round,” the amusing detective yarn is con fined to the first class quarters on a liner. Gene Raymond takes the hero interest with Nancy Carroll, who is getting soggy, attempting the soubrette. Chorus spectacles with imper sonations by Mitzi Green, amusing but delayed, and the Boswell sis ters, who should be heard but never seen, occupy a good part of time. Typical humor: Dismal lady: "X hate boats, I wish I’d traveled by rail.” Jack Benny: “You will be if the sea gets higher!” We haven’t seen it but we ex pect a wow in “Kid Millions” com ing Sunday. Petri Drills Choir for ‘Elijah’ Presentation The Polyphonic choir under the direction of Professor Paul Petri, is expected to present Mendels sohn's “Elijah,” a very difficult oratorio and one which, according to music critics of international fame, is reaching a popularity on a par with his agless “Messiah.” Copies of the oratorio have been ordered and it is expected they will arrive within the next few days. After that, the choir will work to perfect the number. Owing to its extreme difficulty, Petri is not yet positive of the date on which it will be presented, but he expects, if all goes wrell, to have it ready for a winter term concert. Petri expressed extreme gratifi cation at the evidence of student interest in the choir this term. En rollment has increased from 60 members to 82 and already they show a considerable amount of ability. The Mendelssohn oratorio is one of the outstanding works of the composer’s life. Critics say about Mendelssohn: “He tried to make his characters live, throbbing, vital, not mere musical mediums, mechanically wandering through a series of classical notes, non-enti ties, rather than individuals.” He is one of the few composers of all time who developed definite stories and then expressed as nearly as possible through the medium of music the themes and emotions which he felt concerning them.
