: temps Matter for Public.
FACULTY HEARING ASK&)
Un'iliiblan's Decision to Start Crn
! cade "Back to the Marsli" Re-
; sponsible for Row Between
I ,. Instructor and Students.
J The untimely leap of a frog that up
jset the gravity of. the freshman class
ait the University "of Oregon Medical
'School and started a strike because of
a cutting remark of the instructor. Dr.
John T. MacLaren. seems to have upset
Ihe faculty of the Institution as well.
' "At any rate, no announcement of pol
icy as to how the school officials will
proceed is forthcoming Dr. K. A. J.
Mackenzie, dean of the faculty, said
yesterday he did not regard strikes in
'jhe institution as a public matter.
Dr. Mackenzie was waited upon FrT
'day by a committee of four students
Trom the medical school who asked for
a faculty meeting. It was desired that
the school officials should hear the
Charges they propose to make against
Dr. MacLaren.
' Answer Is Declined.
What he would do in regard to this
request he would not say yesterday.
; "The matter may be brought up at
a faculty meeting, when one is held,
' and it may not. I cannot say as to a
special meeting, probably none will be
'called. I know nothing about the af
iair. It is a matter of no importance,"
he said. ' , '
: Nevertheless, Dr. Mackenzie and Dr.
MacLaren were in consultation yester
day for some considerable time, pre
sumably on the subject of the" medicos'
strike. Several paying patients had to
.wait
. Students at the University bf Oregon
Medical School, Twenty-third and Love
Joy streets, say Dr. MacLaren has not
een altogether their ideal instructor
J or some time. They refer -"to Jlis
methods as not being all they might
Jwish, and give ont that they have not
gotten so much from their physiology
instruction as would be possible under
another educational method.
s Class Strike Continues.
Pending the prayed-for action by
he faculty. Freshmen are absenting
themselves from Dr. MacLaren's classes.
3ot only that, but the entire student
body has supported the Freshmen In
their position; and is standing loyally
by them in the war they have declared
Upon their instructor.
The strike grew out of one of those
little things that make history. There
,Ws the honk of a goose that saved
:ome. Also the kick of the cow that
burned Chicago. This time it was the
leap of a frog.
" The frog was' a common, ordinary,
iun-of-the-marsh frog, at that. He was
,-under observation." as doctorsTsay, at
the school. Dr. MacLaren's ciain-: was
itudying the effect of light on the
amphibian's skin.
' Pent in a glass Jar. over which a
cover fltted, this particular frog who
was to play the star role in the drama
.nd unwittingly to act as walking dele
jrate. felt the first urge of the Spring
Tri his sluggish, cold-blooded body.
Widowed from his native slough and
Vushes, he sensed a longing to return
to the dank and bosky confines of his
own marsh, where he might croak forth
.'the herald of the Spring from his bul
ging throat
Drama Is Staged. -I
The freshman student, Archibald N.j
McDonald, who played ' opposite the
JTrog in this drama of the medical
. school, removed the cover from the Jar,
the better to stndy his subject. Glimp
sing his way to liberty, the frog leaped
from the Jar. He Intended to head a
'new crusade. The movement, he de
cided, wonld be christened "Back to
the Marsh." N
; , The sudden jump startled the stu
rlious freshman, who also jumped. His
fellows, with the vacuousness of youth,
laughed. Then Dr. MacLaren jumped
all over the freshman.
, .He declared &' student should have
tbetter nerves, and that if he had not,
the frog had more gray matter than
jthe student. Relations were strained
between the freshman and his instruc
tor thereafter. Each thought the other
should apologize. Mr. .McDonald was
suspended until he should apologize.
TChe Instructor says he did ao and was
reinstated. The young man is said to
Jiave reported that Dr. MacLaren apolo
gized to him. Friction grew, and the
strike was on.
