Camera Clicks Show Spring's Arrival on Oregon Campus
Grades Up in Spring
When spring comes to the
Oregon campus and the sun
glints on the rippling water of
the mill race, University stu
dents play. But if GPA proves
anything they also study.
Between 1931 and 1935, when
1.00 meant “ C ’' and “ F ” was a
scholastic debit, the records
show a noticeable ascent in
spring grades. The average stu
dent during those four years re
ceived 1.38, fall term; 1.45, win
ter term; and 1.48, spring term.
However, figures sometimes
lie, or at best express a half
truth. The increase in GPA
spring term is attributed to
three factors (1) a general de
cline in study narrowing the
difference between extremely
high and low grades, (2) a
more philanthropic grading
psychology in professors, (3)
an integration of work and play
by the student.
They Seek Rest
In the center of the page is
Mill Race Sun-Bather No. 1,
the first to gamble against Ore
gon’s rapidly changing spring
weather. But no picture page
would be big enough to carry
the manner in which other stu
dents find relaxation.
Tennis is, perhaps* the most
popular outdoor sport, but on
the other hand (right) Oregon
males find it more “sport” to
doze in the sun.
The mill race is undoubtedly
the favorite mecca of all relax
ers. At bottom, left, some coed
asks, “Gotta match,” of pass
ing canoeists. Canoeing offers
real exercise some coeds find,
right. Before many more days
many swimmers will do their
studying in water, if at all.
