1887—No Beer, GPA, or Dorm Living

test and making it up later, or
handing in a term paper late is a
frequent practice now. Sixty-two
years ago no student could “change
a recitation which has been assign
ed without permission of the Fac
ulty.”
Grades, Grades, Grades
Grades were computed then, not
on a complicated 1, 2, 3, and 4 point
basis figured through term hours,
but on a scale of 100, with 60 as a
minimum.
Evenings and between classes in
recent years students have trudged
into Taylor’s or the College Side
Inn and sipped beer at their leis
ure. The two places are right in
campus territory.
When Eugene had “some 3,000 in
habitants” and was “situated amid
st scenery of much natural beau
ty,” (reads the 1887-8 catalogue)
students were forbidden “to enter a
brewery or a saloon,” or to “dring
any intoxicating liquor at the Uni
versity or while on the way to or
from the University, except on the
prescription of a physician.”
A perhaps equally radical differ
ence between student conduct of to
day and yesteryear concerns smok
ing. Use of tobacco in any form
while on the campus was forbidden.

can be FATAL !
12,200 pedestrians were killed by automobiles last year—1,340 more than the
year before. Two out of every three violated traffic laws or committed unsafe,
acts which contributed to their deaths.
And believe it or not—many of these fatal accidents actually happened
less than six feet from the curb—only a step or two from safety!
Between intersection accidents accounted for more than one-third of all
pedestrian fatalities last year. These victims carelessly rushed out from be
hind parked cars, or simply jaywalked themselves into traffic—and death.
Others even ignored the safety of lights and traffic officers at intersections
to save a few seconds—and lost their lives.
Never take safety for granted. Cross at intersections within the cross
walks. Wait for the light or the policeman’s whistle. Be alert for the incon
siderate driver making a right turn, or the reckless one beating a light. On
open highways, allow for the speed of approaching cars. Walk to the left
facing traffic.
Whenever you cross, look both ways. One step can be fatoll
