D aily rehearsals have been m ade for
th e last two weeks, and the com bined
and devoted efforts of th e Treble Clef
girlsm ay be expected to result in a care­
ful and satisfactory presentation of their
ensem ble num bers. We all rem em ber
form er appearances o f th e soloists and
know th a t th e ir stu n ts are in good hands.
T he T reble C lef has traveled a far way
on th e road tow ard perfection since their
last concert. T hey sing with m ore au­
th o rity and th e ir work calls for honest
com m endation if not yet for superlatives.
T hey deserve a hearty welcome—they
belong to us—we are proud of them when
th ey stand out on the platform and sing
to us, and we shall g reet them warm ly
n ex t T hursday evening.
Y . W . C. A.
T he reg u lar m eeting of th e Young
W om en’s C hristian Association was led
th is week by Miss Alice M cKinley. The
atten d ance was very good and the m eet­
ing was in te restin g and helpful.
T he w ork of th e Association is in
b e tte r shape th an it has been before for
some tim e, and q uite an increase has
been m ade in th e list o f m em bers. A
list o f su stain in g m em bers is being se­
I
cured and this will not only aid in the
finances but will bring outsiders in closer
touch with the work. A Bible class con­
sisting of over tw enty college women has
been organized. The class will begin
work im m ediately after the C hristm as
holidays, using sliarm an ’s •'Studies in
th e Life of C h rist” as a guide in the
study. Thje first m eeting will be held at
3 p. in. on th e first Sunday after the
holidays.
The officers of the Association are very
m uch pleased w ith the interest which
has been m anifested in the work and
earnestly hope th a t it will continue. All
th e departm ents are in very good, shape
to be taken up by the new officers who
are soon to lie elected.
Glee Club Tour.
The m em bers of the Glee Club are
hard at w ork preparing for th e annual
holiday tour. Allen Eaton is back in
th e club again, and will go on th e tour
as th e im personator. Mr. E aton is very
clever in th is lin e of work an d his
monologues have been well received by
th e best audiences of th e state. T he club
is very fortunate in securing Mr. E a to n ’s
services again and his perform ances will
be m ost valuable to the program m e.
Professor G len is well pleased w ith the
progress n iad e jjy th e singers d u rin g the
past week an<F says th a t th e program m e
o f th e com ing to u r will be first class in
every respect.
The dates of th e concerts are as fol­
lows:
Roseburg, Dec. 26;
G ra n t’s Pass, Dec. 27;
M edford, Dec. 28;
A shland, Dec. 29.

No Christmas Game.
T he proposed Christm as gam e between
the ’V arsity and th e M ultnom ah Club
will not be played, as the faculty athletic
com m ittee refused to allow the Oregon
m en to participate. The gam e would
have proved a g reat financial benefit to
th e ath letic departm ent, especially since
th ere is som ething of a deficit ju st at
present. How ever, it is though t th at the
friends of the team will subscribe enough
to m ake u p the loss, most of which was
incurred when the W ashington game
was played.
Societas Quirinalis.
T he Societas Q uirinalis will hold an
open m eeting, Tuesday Decetnbei 18, in
Laurean H all. Professor I. M. Glen will
deliver an address on ‘‘The Relation of
Anglo-Saxon to L atin .” The general
public is cordially invited to attend.

CONVENTION
AFTERMATH
Y. M . C. A. Convention P>oduc«d
Lasting Bvneiits to Universi y
and Eugene.
T he convention is over and the sp eak ­
ers and delegates have returned to their
respective college and city Associations.
We hope th at they will carry with them
the spirit of the convention and will
cause th eir Associations to be perm eated
by it. Not only the (J. O. Association
but the whole student body and faculty
have been shaken by the m ighty power
which m anifested itself so forcibly in the
m eetings of the convention.
Last W ednesday night P resident S trong
and Mr. Stnart B. H anna led the regular
Y. M. C. A. m eeting. The m eeting was
a very inform al one. Dr. Strong talked
abont “ The C hristian Life ” He sim ply
held a conversation w ith th e men on th at
topic. A large num ber of fellows took
part in this inform al conference. Mr
H anna spoke of th e need o f Bible study
in the life of one who would live a Chris­
tian. T here were over fifty men in a t­
tendance at this m eeting which was one
of the most interesting in the history of
th e Associationy
The Association will this year send at
lfeast three men to the Pacific Goast S tu ­
d e n ts’ Conference which convenes at Pa­
cific Grove, California, Dec. 2 8 -Ja n . 6.
E very college in Oregon, except one,
will have a delegate or delegates at this
conference. Mr. E. T. Colton and Mr.
Fred B. Sm ith, both o f whom the U. O.
students have m et and love, will be at
Pacific Grove. Mr. John R. Mott of
world fame ns a religous lender among
students will spend five days there. Mr.
George W. L eavitt, 00’ of Purdue U niver­
sity will again lead the Bible study d u r­
ing those ten days. It is an opportunity
of a life tim e to be allowed to spend a
num ber of days w ith such m en, The fel­
lows who atten d th e conference this year
a e, indeed privileged tneu.
The Bible classes conducted by th e
Association have doubled in members
since th e convention. Men are begin­
ning to realize th at nil education is not at
all com plete w ithout a system atic know
ledge o f this Book which is today read
more than any other book in the world.
Sophomore Class P arty.
The m em bers of the Sophom ore Class
were royally entertained Saturday even­
ing at the home of th eir President, Miss
Ruby H endricks. All o f the forty mem­
bers were present and report having one
of the most enjoyable evenings o f th eir
lives. Seveaal new and interesting games
were the principal am usem ent o f the
evening after which refreshm ents were
served.

north were here for a football gam e.
About six o'clock th at evening lliev saw
clearly th at football is a very sulxirdinate
detail in th eir schem e o f things and that
the aces will all be in their part of the
deck at next spring's tra c k -meet and
debate. We were glad to note this
uureclining confidence, it cheered us
m ightily.
A lter all, though, they do these things
a bit more peculiarly in Salem than an y ­
w here else. H ere’s the W illam ette Col­
legian felicitating W. U. because some of
th e A thletic Club star players were last
year attached to the U niversity. The
Collegian is also w illing to sacrifice W .
U .’s football prospects th at th e dow n­
town crowd m ay he as strong as possible.
Birds of a feather will flock in a bunch
and, to,outside folk, the Salem plum age
is all one stripe.
Sheriff-M anager D urbin also lightened
th e sadness of life by his sensational
pursuit 01 the m iscellaneous Sanders,
ending in th at h ero ’s return from a pro­
tracted vacation at th e Siletz reservation
“ to become a tower o f stren g th at e n d ”
on the Salem crew. The talkative D ur­
bin happily got back in tim e “ to
rebuke our young collegians”
for
th eir unsportsm anlike conduct iu the
gam e of October 27th.
Since then
th e Salem papers printed colutna of foot­
ball dreatniugs actuates! chiefly bv w rong­
headed aggressiveness in in terp retin g the
inability of m anagers to find plage in
hard schedules for Sanders’ industrious
m ates as fear of “ The Capitol City G ian ts.”
T here were m any such delicate w itti­
cism s as “ The Salem football team are
h u n tin g some eleven they cannot beat.
They differ from Eugene in th a t.” This
w ent m errily 011 until the Berkeley
game, f he gas was tu rn ed suddenly off
and a bare m ention o f tbe score sufficed.
All th is teaches us th at if Salem people
could only live up to th eir idea of th em ­
selves the rest o f us would have to get
out of the valley. T here w ould’n t he
room. This m igration however would
not be an entirely involuntary process.
In Mem ory of Henry Villard.
The regular assem bly hour W ednesday
m orning will be devoted to m em orial
services in respect to the m em ery o f the
late H enry V illard, the U n iv ersity ’s
greatest benefactor. There will l>e re­
m arks by Dr. Strong, as president of the
U niversity; a short address by W alter
W hittlesey, ’01, on behalf o f th e Asso­
ciated Students; rem arks by Ju d g e E. O.
P otter, ’87, for th e alum ni; address by

of the state. T he program m e will be
