A STR IN G OF V IC TO R IES
The week ju st closed lias been a
félicitions one lor the U niversity of
O regon. Since o ur last edition of the
W eekly our track team has defeated
W ash in g to n and Idaho on the tra c k ;
our baseball team has won tw o out
of three gam es p lay ed ; M ax Snow has
won the singles in the tennis to u rn a
ment giving ( fregón the n o rth w est
cham pionship in this e v e n t; and to
cap the clim ax of all these victories,
I esse 11. I »ond, ’09, w ith his m asterful
o ratio n "T h e E volution of C h a ra c te r,”
has been successful in w inning first
place in the In te rsta te O ratorical C on
test over the rep resen tativ es of the
S tate U niversities ot Idaho and W a sh
ington. X’erilv ( fregón stu d en ts have
good reason for rejoicing over what
our rep resen tativ es in the various lines
of activity have done lor us.
The loyalty that has been shown
during the trying m onths of the last
y ear is com m endable. F aculty, alum ni
and stu d en ts alike have stood firm and
rem ained loyal to our U niversity even
when th in g s looked blackest.
T his kind of spirit will continue to
bring victories to ( fregón, ( fur faculty
m em bers have unselfishly gone w ith
out pay d u rin g the last three m onths
for the sake of the U niversity ; our al
um ni have neglected their business
ami th eir professions to devote all their
en erg ies to the passage of the appro
p riation bill. S tu d en ts have caught
still in d o u b t; but from all inform ation
available the voters of the state have
endorsed the bill and higher educa
tion by a good m ajority. In all the
cities and large tow ns the I niversity
got good m ajorities while even in the
more rem ote districts the "esults were
very good.
'1'he com m ittee in charge of the ap
p ro p riatio n bill was com posed wholly
of m em bers of the alum ni of the in sti
tution. T hese men have labored hard
all d u rin g “e le c t’on season to see the
m easure passed.
To their zealous
work coupled with the loyalty show n
bv o th er alum ni and friends of the U ni
versity, (freg o n students can look as
the cause of our success.
T h e m atter of w inning votes for the
U niversity was very largely one of
advertisem ent. Those who know con
ditions at the varsity and her needs
were, generally speaking, w illing to
support any m easure for her b e tte r
m ent, but those who were not fam iliar
with the varsity’s w ork were in doubt
as to the proper w ay to vote.
1 his
class of people were reached by letters,
circulars and cards, pleading the v ar
sity ’s cause.
The m en whe planned
it all, who carried the m easure through
are C. N. M cA rthur, L. R. A lderm an,
Allen 11. Eaton. H om er I. K eeney and
