From cover to cover, the book attained a tone of enticing inform ality, avoiding the stiffness so of ten found in annuals. In its fore word was the explanation that Root and the staff felt that every possible theme had been used and re-used until they verged upon triteness. They pursued this be lief throughout the book, linking subject matter cleverly and natur ally with the broad motif of cam pus life. Typographically, the lithograph ic or offset printing of the first section with its possibilities for life-giving shadowing and blending attracted much attention. The press work on the other sections was also of exceptional quality. Shown in the adjoining columns is the washable cover of the book. In the lower right hand corner is Editor George Root, and on his left are pictured students stacking copies of the Oregana. More pictures and art work are scattered throughout the book in proportion to reading matter than in many year books. In these pic tures, an attempt to avoid the for mal posed photographs for the more natural and interesting “shot” was made and has been well re ceived by the book’s purchasers. Title lines and descriptive matter for the pictures were humorous and informal, as was the reading matter throughout the book.

Members of Phi Beta Kappa Meet at Anchorage Student, faculty, and alumni members of Phi Beta Kappa, na tional honorary scholastic society, at a dinner given at the Anchorage Monday night, heard Dr. William A. Shimer, of New York, secretary of the united chapters of the or ganization, make a plea for the widening of intellectual boundar ies and interests. Intellectual provincialism, the speaker declared, had succeeded geographical provincialism; and the learned society of which he is the active executive is sternly set against this development. Overindulgence by some college professors in the medieval lecture system, developed "when books were scarce and talk was cheap,” was deplored by the speaker, him slef a former faculty man in east ern institutions. For the better type of student he favored more free dom and individual work and a more liberal use of the library. Dr. Shimer informed his hearers he could see something of a return among practical men to a realiza tion of the value of basic culture even to men who are going into business or industry; promotion of this trend he regarded as a func tion of Phi Beta Kappa. He hoped for the formation of more alumni chapters. Comprehensive exam i n a t i o n s rather than frequent short tests of the student's recollection of a small section of a particular sub ject were advocated by the speak er, and he deplored, without seeing any easy remedy, the overempha sis on grades as a measure of a student’s capacity and progress. Dr. Shimer is making a tour of the eighty chapters of Phi Beta Kappa in the United States. J. Herbert Geohegan, McNeil Island Leader, Will Also Lead Forum At 7:30 in Gerlinger Vital problems of welfare oi modern day prisoners will be dis cussed at an assembly of students and faculty today at 10 o’clock, when Dr. J.

A special open forum will be held tonight at 7:30 in Gerlinger hall, sponsored by Al-/ pha Kappa Delta, sociology honor ary. Work Significant Work now being done by Dr, Geoghegan at McNeil Island is re garded by educators and prison authorities as of utmost signifi cance. His projects have won the highest praise from Sanford Bates, head of federal prisons. Dr. Geoghegan was chosen to take charge of the school for in mates at McNeil Island in 1932. He went there from the teaching staff in sociology at the University of Washington, from which he was graduated in 1922. He received his master of arts degree in 1923. While an undergraduate he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, na tional scholastic society. Enrollment Increased The success of the work Dr. Geoghegan is doing at the prison is shown by the fact that during the first year he was there en rollment in classes increased from 360 to 653, while lesson reports completed and turned in increased from 1,839 to 6,727. J3eiUie Leaguing iXL vvar.mugiuu university, Dr. Geoghegan’s career took him into such fields of social activity as minister, organization of study classes in railroad con struction camps, logging camps, and mill towns, and educational work in army camps during the World War. He was elected to the state legislature of Washington in 1927, where he served on various committees dealing with educa tional and social problems of the state. Mr. Geoghegan also intro duced and was active in the pro motion of the old age pension bill which is now a law in Washington. i Campus * ❖ ❖ ❖ Calendar Junior Weekend campus lunch eon directorate wishes to thank Thespians, Kwamas and Skull and Dagger members for their whole hearted and splendid cooperation which helped to make the luncheon the success it was.
