For girls to wear those clothes.

To untie their pretty bows.

Dr. Smith Honored
In 25th Year Here
By MILDRED WILSON
Dr. Warren D. Smith, head of
the geology and geography de
partments, has a new set of golf
clubs and a leather-bound booklet
full of letters and telegrams from
his friends all over the world,
congratulating him on the anni
versary of his 25th year of teach
ing at the University.
The gifts, given by friends and
former students, were presented
to him at a banquet at the Os
burn hotel Saturday night, which
was attended by 80 of his friends
and associates. The whole pro
ceeding was a surprise to Dr.
Smith, who thought he was at
tending a dinner of the American
Institute of Mining and Metallur
gical Engineers, which also met
here last weekend.
Instead of being called on for
his address of the evening, which
was “Metals of the Philippines,”
Dr. Smith was given speeches of
tribute by several persons at the
table. Those commenting on Dr.
Smith and the work he has done
were O. F. Stafford, dean of the
lower division and service depart
ments of the University; J. H.
Batchellor of the Oregon State
geology department; Ray Treash
er, representing the A.I.M.E.;
Warren Lomax, speaking for the
Condon club, and Carl Williams,
a student of 16 years ago repre
senting Dr. Smith’s graduated
students. The last speech and the
presentation of gifts was made
by J. C. Stovall, geology instruc
tor.
