Second, Portland, Oregon "Dr. Kerr, the newly elected pres ident of the O. A. C, made his first appearance at the college chapel last Vednesday when he was gree t ed with marked cordiality by the student assembly. On being intro duced by President 3atch, among other things said by Dr. Kerr wa-: ""I desire to express my appreci ation of the hearty welcome you have given me, and in what little I shall say I wish first to emphasize the great value of land grant col leges. They have already become a very important factor in the edu cational work of all , the states. When I come here to make this my . home, I expect to be intensely in terested in everything which shall tend to upbuild the state of Oregon and, as president of the Oregon Agricultural College, I shall inter est myself especiaily in all its activ ities, not forgetting the literary so cieties or even the athletic features of college life or anything else which shall inspire and preserve college spirit and loyalty to the school. One pledge I leave with you. ' I shall bring to the work of the col lege the very best there is in me." Following Dr. Kerr's remaks, was a lecture by Dr. J. R. N. Bell, who had been prviously announced. His topic was, "Reminiscences of the Civil War by an ex Confederate Soldier," The lecture was a de scription of humorous events which Doctor Bell said curiously enough have not found their way into his tory, but ought to be there. He confessed that his most brilliant military tactics were performed his career as first lieutenant of a foreign squad, for his was the banner squad in the division. He denies emphatically that hunger never vis ited his camp even in the , busiest days along the Shenandoah. After bait an hour of rippling humor and good sense, the speaker told of the reformed soldier who knows the reasons for his faith. Then he al luded to the ascent of San Juan by General Joe Wheeler and Theodore Roosevelt as an evidence that pa triotism has melted American inter estss so that in danger the highest thing an American cares to see is the American flag.
