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.

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.

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.

inary of history and political science,
