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

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. All her
hardships and sorrows have soften

Graduation? More Fun,
Less Talk, Say Students
Graduation day . . . that day of daze for the average high-school
senior who has finished four, sometimes more, long years of grueling
study! ?i and oth ?r things. Graduation days . . . usually blistering hot.
The local school decked out in gala colors and the graduating class
I in stuffy gowns. And what is the high-light of that memorable day?
‘ Or what should be . . . why the commencement speaker, of course.
At times a»sneaker will leave an unforgettable impression on the
minds of the seniors, at other
times a regrettable impression, and
still other times, nothing at all.
What do students in speech here
at the University remainber about
graduation day? About that man
who addressed them ? Hc>w do they
think commencement programs can
be improved?
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

"I think they should cut out the
fashion-parade idea. Let the grad

expensive, inconspicuous clothes.”

seemed to be mainly an entertain
