Debate Postponed.
The cham pionship debate which was
to have been held at the U n iv ersity of
Oregon on March 15, has been p o st
poned for tw o weeks on account of
the sickness of a m em ber of the L eb
anon trio. The debate which will be
held on March 29, will decide the In
terscholastic cham pionship of the state.
Both the A storia and the Lebanon
team s have won the cham pionship in
their respective districts so th at the
final debate between the tw o rivals on
May 29 will be quite spirited.
A recent letter received by Dr. Geo.
O ’B. DeBar from his d a u g h te r F lor
ence DeBar. '06, who is now atten d in g
W'elleslev College, sta te s that Miss
Florence is g ettin g along well in her
college work and is en jo y in g the best
of health.
A m eeting of the Senior class was
held T hursday afternoon to consider
commencement details.
Last Friday evening the E ngineer
ing C lub provided an especially in ter
estin g program .
W . E. M cIntyre spoke on the sub
ject of pocket h u n tin g for gold in
S outhern O regon. W hen the pocket-
h u n ter finds a trace of gold he follows
it up the gulch, using a pan, until the
trace runs out. He then s ta rts up the
hill side from the place w here he finds
the last trace and pans the hillside dirt
until he runs the trace to bedrock,
lie may then have a pocket w orth an y
w here from $1.00 to $300,000.00.
Prof. DeCoti was called upon for an
extem poraneous speech.
lie traced
the progress of the tran sco n tin en tal
railroads across Canada.
T he new
G rand T ru n k line will have its w estern
term inus near the southern border of
Alaska, 'file C anadian Rail Roads are
becom ing stro n g er com petitors of
H ill’s and H a rrim a n ’s system s each
year. T h eir lines are shorter and the
w estern term inals are closer to China.
P. P. A dam s spoke of the Yukon
country, co n tra stin g conditions there
in 1897 and in 1908.
'I'lie last speaker on the program
was Pres. C am pbell. The subject of
.his address was “ T he E ngineer’s E du
cation.”
He urged the engineering
students to take five years for their
college course. T hey should endeavor
to get all the know ledge possible o u t
side of engineering. The center of all
education is centered around the per
son. Its object is to make a man in
the broadest sense of the word. Pile
old education left man a dream er. 'Pile
stiictly engineering education leaves
a man narrow and m aterial. Pile E n
gineering and L iteratu re, Science, and
A rts buildings should be oil the. saint*,
cam pus. 'Pile liberal minded man is
the one now in dem and.
Some eastern U niversities are re
quiring a five year course in Engineer
