UNIVERSITY OB" OREGON. Eugene,
Or, Just 20! (Special.) So full and
varied waa in commencement pro
gramma today , that the gay-bedecked
heads of proud parents and doting aunts
were troubled considerably In an effort
to keep pace with the friskier and
mora pliable movements of their
younger contemporaries. Reunion and
reception events followed In quick suc
cession and when dusk had advanced It
seemed that the real activities were
Just beginning.
Quite the most popular features of
the programme were the evening events
upon the campus. In a farcical tug-of-war
contest tho old grades were
dragged through the placid waters of
the campu" lake within view of a large
throng tf partisan onlookers. The
sinews of such football stars as Lou
Plnkham. -Hippo" Oltles and Hen Grout
were too much for the punier alumni,
but they later retaliated by advancing
upon their conquerors and "sousing"
them In the pond one at a time, much
to the amusement of the spectators-
M iters I Tad Flower Proewdon.
At 7:30 o'clock this evening a beau
tifully executed flower and fern pro
cession paraded along the winding
paths of the campus quadrangle. The
procession was led by two sisters. Mrs.
C. M. Collier C0). and Miss Mary Mc
Cornack CiJ). the oldest graduates
present They bore large bouquets of
Khasta daisies and extended first wel
come on the approach of the 1S11
graduates, who carried natural ferns
and red rambler rosea This pretty
custom waa Instituted several years
ago by Luelta Clay Carson, formerly
dean of women at the University of
Oregon, but now president of Mills Col
lege. Then amidst the quiet strains of or
chestra music, the old folks attention
was diverted to the carefully-drilled
squadrons of gally-attlred co-eds, who
were stepping through the minuet for
mations of May-pole dancing and Japa
nese lantern maneuvers. Generous ap
plause greeted the senior girls, clad In
the regulation caps and gowns, as they
swished deftly through the fancy
figures of the lantern dance.
New KesenU at first Meeting.
The five newly-appointed university
regents attended their first board meet

Charles H. Fisher, both of Eugene. "who
were regularly appointed by the Go.
trior on April li. The other members
of the board also were present with
the exception of Senator Miller.
The board elected Dr. C. J. C. Ben
nett as acting dean of the school of
education to succeed Dr. H. D. Shel
don, whose resignation was accepted.
Dr. Edmund S. Conklln was made as
sistant professor of psychology at a
salary of llio a year, to succeed tem
porary Professor Mitchell. UeRoy John

vise the training of student teachers at
the high school. Miss Gertrude Den
hart, an honor student of the present
graduating class, was elevated to a

Dr. Glesy Resigns.
The resignation of Dr. A. J. Glesy
from the medical school faculty In
Portland on account of III health waa
accepted upon the reluctant recom
mendation of the medical department.
He was today made emeritus profes
sor of clinical gynecology. Dean Jo
sephl's report further recommends two
faculty additions, several curriculum
changes, and a provision whereby med
ical graduatea will hereaffer ba re
quired to come to Eugene to receive
their diplomas at the main university,
at the same time that the degrees are
bestowed upon graduates from the
more strictly collegiate branches. This
change Is advocated by the Portland
branch because "It Is fitting" and be
cause "It will serve to link more close
ly the university with the medical de
partment. It wtll Involve the length
ening of the medical school year from
seven and one-half months to eight
months.
A movement was launched at the
board meeting today to establish
eventually a chair In Scandinavian
languages at the university. This step
waa prompted by petitions presented
by the Scandinavian societies of Ore
gon, which earnestly 'urged the new
department. The many Oregon fami
lies of Scandinavian origin who are
now living In Oregon request thst
their sons and daughters be given op
portunity at the university of becoming
acquainted with the great literature of
their rountry In Its original form.
President Campbell's recommendation
waa Indorsed by the board, and It was
the sense of the meeting that the chair
should be established as soon as the
necessary means are available. When
Instituted, the new department will be
come a part of the school of Germanic
languages.
Sanitary Department Asked.
The establishment of a department of
sanitary science Is also being fostered
by the administration, which holds that
the Increase of commonwealth effi
ciency Is the central purpose of uni
versity work and that this efficiency
Is dependent most of all upon the vital
ity of the people. The contemplated
department Is to embrace all branches
sf persona and public hygiene, school .
hygiene and Inspection: a study of the i
sources of Infection; research concern-
Ing the construction or sewers and
water supply systems: and advocacy
of pure-food atandards and aanltary
housing arrangements; and a general
furtherance of the spirit of eugenics.
This later recommendation Is con
tained la the report of the faculty com
mittee on Commonwealth day and
sanitary science extension, of which
Professor F. O. Toung Is chairman.
Now that It has been spproved by the
board. It will be submitted to the State
Board of Higher Curricula for au
thorisation. In hla general repdrt the president
hows that tb aggregate number of
university graduates thla year la 111.
classified as follows: Graduate school
. college of literature, science and arts
7. college of engineering 11. school
of medicine Is. school of law 40. school
of music 1.
The total enrollment for the year. In
cluding the Portland departments and
the correspondence school, has been
1413. The strictly collegiate branches
at Eugene show a gain of It per cent
over last year.
In deploring the current referendum
movement now being waged against
the university. President Campbell la
optimistic, but says that unless the
courts soon throw out the petitions be
cause of the alleged fraults. the uni
versity will be seriously hampered and
that some means must be devised to
reduce the operating expenses. Rather
than reduce salaries or lessen the
teaching force he recommends that the
$ 10.000 allowed annually for new li
brary books be curtailed until tb
crisis Is paused.
Alumni Elect Officers.
At a well attended meeting of the
Alumni Association of the university,
the following officers were chosen:

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. June 10. The Washington
Times declares that the leaders in the
movement to re-elect President Taft
are set upon nominating Senator Borah,
of Idaho, as Taft's running mate In 111.
This paper adds:
"For some days It has been going
round In high political circles that the
Administration looked on the able
young Senator from Idaho with kindly
eyes. But todsy It came from some high
source that actual overtures have been
made to Senator Borah to get him to
take the nomination for Vice-President.
He has practically been given td under
stand he can have the Administration's
backing.
"It Is admitted on all hands that Sen
ator Borah would make an excellent
running mate for President Taft, The
President likes him and admires him.
despite the fact that they have clashed
sharply on on or two occasions."
Senator Borah, when this story was
shown to hlra. declared that no over
tures have been made to him by any
authorised parties, although several
Senators had mentioned the matter In
casual conversation, li does not treat
the rumors seriously.

an hour later the hounds again caught

for three miles, when the posse stopped
for tho night.
Mall Driver Finds Camp.
Early this morning th posse again
took up the pursuit of the fugitives and
late today are aald to be near where
the bandlta are supposed to be hiding.
A mall driver between Elkton and
Scottsburg reported lata today the dls
covery of a camp on hla route which
had been abandoned only a few hours
before. The bloodhounda are leading
the posse in that direction and the offl
cers believe that the outlaws are only
a few hours in the lead. Unless the
men are thoroughly acquainted with
the mountain districts, there are only
two routes by which they can get out of
the Loon Lake region. Both avenues
are closely guarded by Sheriff Gage, of
Coos County, and his deputies, and es
cap appears Improbable.
Loot May Total $1000.
Postofflce Inspector Morse, who has
In hla possession a Quantity of atolen
loot, said today that he believed th
outlawa secured money aggregating at
least $1000. Twenty-alne registered
letters, many of which contained
money, were overlooked by the robbers
and were forwarded to the Postofflce
officials at Spokane today. Many of
the packages containing Jewelry and
other articles of value were simply
ripped open, the contents mutilated,
and cast aside.
From the manner In which the con
tents of the sacks were examined the
Postofflce Inspector believes that tne
robbers are amateurs and have had
little experience In holding up trains.
It Is Mr. Morse's opinion that most of
the money secured by the bandlta was
found In the pouch consigned to San
Francisco. In this pouch, he says, ther
might have been a substantial remit
tance to one of the San Francisco depositories.
