Education Need For Citizenship Hunter States Students I rged to Build Foundation of Nation For Common Good at General Assembv Mastery of our emotions and eli mination of our prejudices, tiie es sential elements of good citizen ship, can be accomplished only through education said F. M. Hunt er, chancellor of the state educa tion system, speaking before the assembly in his honor at Gerlinger Thursday morning. Chancellor Hunter said that the Biblical quotation, “Am I may brother’s keeper?” is the basis up on which all acts of citizenship should be founded, and that this rule can be followed by the indi vidual educating and informing himself to perform his duties as a citizen for the common good of the nation. Iiimmi ( luzensmp i rui-d "Don't go out of this University until your ability to function as a good citizen is built upon a sound foundation," he said. Chancellor Hunter denounced the demagogues and pressure people’s emotions and prejudices to further their own ends, and called upon citizens to learn to bring the spirit of history to bear upon the problems of the nation. "George Washington sacrificed prejudices, promises, and fame; he was discredited in the eyes of his people, because he used his know ledge to keep the nation out of war with Great Britain,” he said, referring to the signing of the un popular Jay treaty with England. Dictator Problem Seen Chancellor Hunter referred to the wave of dictatorships that has engulfed Europe, and warned that this is a serious problem confront ing every citizen. "You and I have the question of determining what our action will be in the presence of situations of this kind," he said. The chancellor emphasized the fact that the democracy of the United States is much more far reaching than any of the other democracies of the world, and that this increases the demand upon its citizens. In opening his address, Chancel lor Hunter complimented the Uni versity upon its cooperation in secure educational legislation, and expressed the wish that the duties of his office would allow him to come in closer contact with the student body. Hunter’s Work Praised In introducing the chancellor, C. Valentine Boyer, president of the University complimented him up on his interest and activity in get ting educational legislation pussed in the recent session of the Oregon State legislature. Before the chancellor’s speech, Prince Callison, football coach, and Anson Cornell, athletic manager, drew the number of the student body’ card of Nello Giovanin from a basket, and Giovanini was given a free ticket to the Jimmy Dorsey dance. Gilbert Schultz, student body president, congratulated the mile relay team which was successful Burnmirom BE SURE YOUR DORSEY DATE IS HAPPY . . .

Pioneer Mother Typifies Peace and Achievement Of Oregon’s Forefathers (Editor’s note: This article is the second of a series which will tell file story behind interesting “landmarks” on the Oregon campus and which will appear in the Emerald from time to time.) A new conception of a pioneer memorial, which shows not the struggles and hardships of the trail, but the spirit of peace and achievement, is the Pioneer Mother of which A. Phimister Proctor is the sculptor and which Burt Brown Barker, vice-president of the University of Oregon, dedicated. Although it honors his own mother, the memorial is dedicated lo an Oregon pioneer mothers. The Pioneer Mother, in the cen ter of the women’s quadrangle, rests on a base which has on each side a plaque showing some phase of the struggle over the Oregon trail. The design of the statue is very simple and depicts the Pioneer Mother, sitling at ease in her chair, her hands resting on an open Bible in her lap. Her face, strong in char acter, seems to be reflecting pleas ant events of the past and contem plating what is to come in the fu ture of the West. IVIrs. Barker Born 1811 Mrs. Elvira Chadwick Brown Barker, inspiration for the mem orial, was born in Wilmington, Ill inois, on July (>, 1844. Her father, Elias Brown, who died on the way, joined with his father - in - law, Tom Cox, in the spring of 1847 and started for Oregon with his fam ily. The wagon train members suf fered most while coming over the Barlow road when a storm became so severe that they lost half the cattle and saved their own lives only by extreme measures. Thomas Cox brought with him a small stock of goods from a store he sold in Wilmington before he left and with it started the first store in Salem, Oregon. Mr. Bark er's mother grew up on a farm near Philomath, where she mar ried William C. Barker, June 27, IStiO. She died in 1921. Final Peace Cited The inscription on the Pioneer Mother written by Burn Brown Barker on May 7. 1932 is: "Others have perpetuated her struggles: I want to perpetuate the peace which followed her struggles. Others have perpetuated her ad venture; 1 want to perpetuate the spirit which made the adventure possible, and the joy which crown ed her declining years as stie look ed upon the fruits of her labor and caught but a faint glimpse of what it will mean for posterity. "I want to recall her as 1 recall my mother. Elvira Brown Barker, a pioneer of 1847 in the sunset of her life after the hardships and the battles and the sorrows of pio neering were past and she sat in the afterglow of her twilight days resting from her labors.

In a recent questionnaire dis tributed to members of the speech classes, by way of gaining infor mation for students in advanced speech who are now working on a graduation address project, some of the following enlightening com ments were made: “Commencement exercises are too formal.’’ ; “I would have one student speak er and one outside speaker. The i student should talk on his impres sions and reactions to graduation; the outsider should give a talk on what graduation should mean.” “Leave out the student speak ers.” . . the scholarship students of our class gave the addresses and were they lousy. There wasn’t a bit ■ of value to the speeches, and the ; only point in the whole program was the splinter in my chair. I would provide for more amusing speeches, and, by all means, make them shorter. Also, I’d ask for good speakers, even if I had to buy them.” “The graduation class should choose the speaker.” "I would have the speaker talk less, say more, and talk in a light er vein.” “I would cut out the long ora tions telling us how glad the world 1 is to receive us. . .” “Leave out the flowery talk.” “Make the ceremonies a bit shorter . . . too many officials say ing the same thing.” “A good program by those grad Sports Quiz Answers 1.
