The books, originally the property of Edward S. Burgess, head of biological sciences at Hunter college in New York City, are now being Yearly Gold Output From Philippines Surpasses Alaska The Philippines are now produc ing more gold in a year than the annual output of Alaska. This news was received recently with a great deal of interest on the part of Dr. Warren D. Smith, professor of geography and geology, since he took an active part in the devel opment of the Acupan mine, one of the most important in the is lands. As chief of the division of mines in the bureau of science in the Philippines, Dr. Smith was request ed in 1922 to survey and report on the Acupan mine, which was shut down at that time. An earlier re port by an engineer had been un favorable. As the result of Dr. Smith’s rec ommendation the mine was re opened and became one of the richest in that part of the world. Old Oregon Will Be 'Hot Off Press' For Homecoming Bill Pease, editor of the monthly magazine “Old Oregon,’’ announc ed early yesterday that the October edition will be released this com ing Wednesday, the thirteenth. “This edition will consist of twenty-four pages devoted entirely to Homecoming, and will carry some of the highlights that will be held at that time,” stated Pease. “With Paul Whiteman and his for ty-piece orchestra, Oregon will have one of the greatest Home coming celebrations in history.” The cover design will feature Ar leigh Bentley, ace quarterback of the Oregon Ducks.

BOSSING CALLED EAST Dr. Nelsen Bossing, professor of education, left last Friday night for Covert. Kansas, where he was called by the death of his mother. He expected to return the latter part of this week. cataloged by his sister, Miss Julia Burgess. It was through her ef forts the books were brought to the University. Rare, exciting volumes and books so old one scarcely dares to believe they’re real, compose the Burgess Collection of Rare Books which has been donated to the University of Oregon. These books originally belonged to Edward S. Burgess, who for thirty years was head of biological sciences, at Hunter col lege of the city of New York. It is largely through his sister, Miss Julia Burgess, professor of Eng lish at the University, that we are receiving these books. Miss Burgess has taken a year’s leave of absence and is working now to get the books into the spe cial room reserved for them at the east end of the library so they can be on exhibit for homecoming. Medieval manuscripts reflect the time the monks took in carefully printing and designing each page, and are now priceless works. The exquisitely hand printed pages, the firm texture of the vellum, makes one marvel at the human energy and thought expended in its creation. In many cases the monks didn’t even sign their names to the completed works. Among the most interesting books are three Latin manuscripts of the fifteenth century: Cicero’s “Liber Oratoris,’’ Macer’s “Latin Poems on Flowers,’’ and an illum inated “Book of Hours,’’ made in France, which has five miniature paintings with scroll borders, and burnished gold letters on every page. Burnished gold letters, Miss Burgess explains, were made by rolling gold coins out into a very fine gold leaf which was then cut and put over white paint, and pol ished. The ink which has endured so long on these manuscripts is said to be an oriental ink, almost a dye, and somewhat like what wo call India ink. A few manuscript volumes date back to the thirteenth century. The largest of the manuscripts is a “Pontifical Mass” made for the last of the Royal Stuarts when he be came cardinal in Rome. “Incunabula” (literal meaning, "in the cradle") are works printed in the infancy of printing, 1445 to 1500. There are 38 incunabula in the collection representing the work of some famous printers. The oldest is a Cicero by Jenson in Venice, 1471. Froben of Basle, the friend of Erasmus, is represented by a Bible of 1495. Examples of the imprints of the famous Aldine Press will be shown with Plantin and Elzevir imprints. A collection of Shelleyana, By roniana, Stevensoniana, with first editions of Browning and other English and American writers, as well as some unusual books of travel have been added to the col lection by Vice-President Burt Brown Barker.
