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.

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.

Managers.
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.
