W ill Have Charge of the Football Team for 1901. > L At a m eeting o f th e board of m anagers o f th e U nive sity ath letic association held in V illard h all, Friday noon, C. A. R edm ond, ’02, was elected as m anager of the football team for the season o f 1901. Mr. R edm ond is well know n throughout interco llegiate ath letic circles, and with his ex cellent executive ability the U. O. is assured a n o th e r year of successful m anagem ent of its football affairs. At th is m eeting th e report of M anager G oodrich of th e football team for 1900 was subm itted and accepted. The report show ed th e expenses to have been $2469. 80 and the receipts $2404.50, leaving a deficit of $65.30 T he report of C. N.

Eutsxlan Entertain. The party given by th e E u tax ian so ciety Saturday evening was a very en joyable event in the social life of the college year, and the young ladies may ju stly feel proud at the m anner in which they entertained the guests. A lthough 1901 is not a leap year, th e E utaxicans decided to observe it as such and accord ingly called for their gentlem an friends and escorted them to the party. The spacious halls of the literary societies were tastefully decorated for th e occa sion, there being a profusion o f ever greens tied with college colors. Each gentlem an was com pelled to “ fish” for a partner, after w hich pro gressive games of various sorts were e n gaged in. About eleven o ’clock, d eli cious refreshm ents were served, after which the m erry throng disbanded. The E utaxians are royal en tertain ers, as th e m any social affairs which they have u n dertaken have proved. The leap year part of the program caused m uch m erri m ent am ong the students d u rin g the week and the idea of p laying girl ju st for once, showed th e fellows how to ap preciate college life from a co-ed’s sta n d point. The girls acted as gallant escorts, some of them even going so far as to send flowers to the young m an w hom they were to call for The E utaxians deserve congratulations for the success of th eir undertaking. Student Prof I W ashburns Lectnre. Prof. W. L. W ash b u rn , of the d e p art m ent of Biology, gave an in terestin g ta lk before the Philalogian society, F ri day n ig h t, on th e “ Sim ilarity in S tru c t ure Between Man and the A pe.” T he lectu re was illustrated by num erous stereoptican views and th e subject was p resen ted in a m ost e n tertain in g m anner. T he o rd in ary conception of th e term evolution is th at man descended from m onkey, but from D arw in’s wonderful discoveries on th e “ O rigin of S pecies,’’ and from the illustrations presented by Prof. W ashburn, th e sim ilarity in struc ture o f all forms of anim al life we have to draw th e conclusion th a t th e m onkey is b u t a d istan t cousin of man and th a t all species once sprung from a comm on ancestry.

Down at Stanford, they are having troubles all of th eir own. A large n u m ber of the most prom inent students were found deficient in the recent exam ina tions and were dropped from th e U niver s i t y Among them were several prom i nen t athletes and several student m anagers, including those of track a th letics and foot ball. T his is a strong argum ent in favorof graduate m anage m ent. T he burden of responsibility of the larger student body enterprises is too great for men who are carrying reg u lar class room work and too m uch is expected of them , At the University of Califor nia, there is a salaried graduate m anager and the m anagem ent of all im portant student affairs is in his hands. The re sult is th at th e business is carried on thoroughly and system ati cally . At Stan ford, a graduate treasurer is em ployed, b n t the faculty requires him to carry reg u lar class room work and he can be of little assistance to the various m an agers The S tanford m ethod would probably be as good as th e first m ention ed, could the treasurer devote all his tim e to m anagem ent, b u t the faculty compels him to carry class work and the conse quence is th a t student affairs are poorly m anaged and the regular m anagers are “ flunked.” AN INTERESTING LECTURE. Dr T. W . Williamson Addressed the Biological Students. I he third of the series of lectures a r ranged for by Dr. Strong, was delivered Tuesday evening, in Professor Schm idts' room, the speaker being Dr. W. T. W il liam son, of Salem. His subject was “ H eredity and E n v iro n m en t.” Dr. W illiam son has been connected with the state asylum for m any years, and therefore spoke from a wide exper ience. He took up the question o f H ere dity and entered into a very thorough discussion of it, show ing the traits of character th at ar? t r i u i n t t e l from generation to generation. He showed the influences of environ ents and com pared them w ith the inherited te n d encies. He m ade an accurate presentation of th e relation of the brain to the hotly, show ing how the m ind of man is devel oped. As the speaker has been brought into close contact with m any types of in sanity, he m ade special m ention of this disease, showing the influences o f h ere dity and environm ent upon th e cases th at have been scientifically dealt with. The address was intensly interesting especi ally to students of the departm ent of Biology. University Appropriation R epresentative H arris has introduced a bill into the Oregon legislature which m akes provision for a three-fifths mill tax, to be used in supporting the state U niversity. This, in ordinary years, will bring from $48000, to $50,000. If the bill is passed, the present annual appro priation of $30,000 will be done away w ith. Representative H arris Is a g rad u ate of th e U. O. am ’, wil 1 do all in his power to aid his Alma Mater. T here is a very friendly feeling am ong •the legislators toward the University and it is quite likely th at the bill will pass. To Observe Marshall Day. T hrough the efforts of the U. O Sem inary of history and political science, the university is preparing to observe F ebruary 4 as M arshall day, in honor of the ch ief justice, who did so m uch by his constitutional decisions to place the United States governm eut on a strong national basis. An invitation has been extended to Hon. Geo. H. W illiam s, of Portland, to deliver an address before th e students on Marshall ami his work.
