“American authors will not pro
duce the great American novel un
til they reach for their inspiration
into that ever-flowing fountain
human nature,’’ stated Ernest Hay
cox, former University of Oregon
journalism graduate and well
known author who spoke before
guests at the annual Matrix Table
last evening.
“Life today is fast, nervous, and
shallow. Our novel deals with
classes of people. The works of
Mark Twain are among those
which, in providing the entertain
ment demanded by a story, left out
all class distinction. His works
lived on,” continued the speaker.

Morse Gets Interview
This was speedily ironed out and
again it led the list. Dean Morse
secured an interview with the legal
division in Washington through the
efforts of Mrs. Cornelia Pierce, a
member of the state board of high
er education, and all legal difficul
ties were patched up.
From then on the project had
smooth sailing, and on January 15,
1935, Roosevelt wrote his name on
a bill appropriating 5350,000 for
construction of the new building.
Seventy per cent of this was in the
form of a loan, 30 per cent a grant.

architects went to work remodeling

Two sites were suggested: the

The present one was chosen be
cause it allowed ample room for

Dean Morse Sees Value
In Disciplined Probation
Dean Wayne L. Morse of the law school, at present administrative
director of the attorney general’s survey of release procedures, dis
cusses in some detail the "Function of a State Probation System for
Adult Offenders” in the April issue of Pacific Coast International.
Probation, like parole and imprisonment, he says, has as its primary
objective the protection of society against crime. Dean Morse stresses
the important part played by the community and its agencies, such
as churches, schools, ami clubs, in
the correction and prevention of
crime. He says these agencies have
a very definite responsibility in this
matter and can make very worth
while contributions, especially in
connection with the administration
of probation.
Probation, according to the dean,
is’ an effective form of inividual
ized disciplinary treatment, • and
when properly applied does not en
courage but prevents crime. He
points out that many individuals,
found guilty under some of the
more recent criminal statutes and
sent to prison, might better have
been subjected to probationary
treatment.
Dean Morse does not favor
granting early parole or probation
unless it is clear the safety of so
ciety will not be jeopardized by re
leasing the offender. He believes
all individuals released from prison
should be released under well-or
ganized supervision.
He goes on to say the economy
of probation has been a strong
point in its favor, quoting from
President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s
book, Looking Forward, "Econom
ically, probation is to the financial
advantage of the state.” It costs
roughly $18 a year to supervise
each person released on probation,
as compared to $350 to $500 to
keep a man in jail one year.
Dean Morse points out the three
most important steps in probation:
first, there must be careful investi
gation of persons to be placed on
probation; second, there must be
intelligent and well-considered ac
tion by the judge; and third, there
must he skilled supervision of pro
bationers. He says probation fail
ures in the past seem to be at
tributable to unwise selection of
cases for treatment, overloading of
probation officers, poorly equipped
£ HUM" ruii:' : :n!!'i'i!i:ui,‘i!!L'i!ii!t:'::'..
and untrained personnel, and the
inadequate organization, equip
ment, and facilities.
The need for the various states
taking active interest in develop
ing state-wide probation systems
in order to keep down the increas
ing prison population was pointed
out by Morse. New York and
Massachusetts are both using pro
bation systems effectively at the
present.
In closing Dean Morse commends
the group who have been working
for an effective state probation
system. He says such a system is a
basic part of an enlightened crime
prevention und crime control pro
gram.
