UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eu Irene, June 6. (Special.) One week of final examinations, followed by four days of commencement festivities, and the present collegiate year at the Unl persity of Oregon will have passed Into the category of things that were. college proper closed yesterday, when the last regular classes were Held. Today the freshmen received i foretaste of the dreaded final exam lnations, when all the first-year classes in English were put through the semi-annual catechism. The real Inquisition, however, will be Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and by Fri day all the classes will have been duly quizzed, and the results will begin to pour in. r A repetition of the catastrophe of last February, when almost 40 students were given their "walking papers" in consideration of their failure to pass the required number of hours, is deemed not unlikely. The members of the faculty have reaffirmed their in tention of continuing to raise the standard of scholarship at any cost, and heretofore the slaughter has al ways been greater at the end of the second semester than after the mid year weeding out. Nevertheless, the students are taking a hopeful view of the future, and are putting In much time and energy Into preparations for the examinations. Commencement Programme Made. The faculty and senior committee, working in co-operation, have ar- . ranged the programme for commence ment. A special effort is being made to lure a large delegation of the alumni back to their former haunts. Among the noteworthy events on the programme will be the presentation of a spectacular pageant by a large class of co-eds under Dr. Bertha Stuart, di rector of women's sports, the open-air production of "King Lear" by Profes sor Reddle's students, the ground breaking ceremony for the new admin istration building, and the various . meetings, banquet and reunion to be held by the alumni. The graduating class from all de partments of the university located In Eugene this year numbers 124. This is the second largest body of students who ever filed across the stage of VII lard Hall to receive their diplomas. The coming commencement also will mark the passing of the engineering courses, which have been transferred to the agricultural college by the dic tum of the board of higher curricula. The abolition of this department here will deprive the student body of about 100 members. Programme Is Given.
