12 TIIE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JUNE 23, 1918. " GOLLEGE DECLARED TO BE DOING DUTY HOLDER OF ST. JOHNS AMBULANCE MEDAL, SENT FROM MILITARY nUarlTAL TO TRAIN RECONSTRUCTION AIDES AT REED COLLEGE. President of Reed Board of Trustees Commends Work of Local Institution. IMMENSE TASKS LIE AHEAD Executive and His Faculty Said to Have Caught Spirit Which Makes , for Preservation of Vital Principles. Dr. Thomas Lamb Eliot, aa president of the Reed College board of trustees, has rendered his annual report and recommendation to the trustees, look ins to the past and to the future of the institution. Dr. Eliot found the general business conditions of Reed improved over last year and he holds the outlook bright for the field of cipher education with its added im petus and reconstruction of ideals due to the war. He commends the presi dent and his faculty for having- caught the spirit of action which makes for the preservation of the vital principles of education. In the response of Reed College stu dents and faculty to the call of service and the war work undertaken by the institution. Dr. Eliot sees the college In the light of an inspiration to the higher forces of the community and one which oan help meet the fearful and sublime challenge of a world at war. Community Feeling Grows. Dr. Eliot's report follows: Referring to the general business of the Institute, it may be said that on the whole conditions are better than a year ago, and the outlook seems to be upon a. steadier basis. Wt are still a part of a world at war. In the midst of which, however, there has come great growth of community feeling-, which again has set alive all the higher forces that make for a better humanity; and of these forces thus set alive none Is attracting more attention than that of edu-sation. It is my own conviction, after much read ing, that the field of higher education is being regarded as more and more a vital one, and along with the desire to throw greater responsibility . upon higher educa tion there Is coming about almost a recon struction within the objects and the meth ods of education itself. At our commence ment we heard a paper from the ex-president of Harvard College, which is one Illus tration of this fact. We are most fortunate in our own college in having wise and progressive leadership on the part of the president, with his fac ulty, and are given evidence every year of their ability to keep In touch with the most vital forces in the world of thought, and their desire to bring into action the most vital principles of true education and a men tal and spiritual discipline for the common people, espectaly with a view to the leader ship which is becoming more and more Im minently a necessity for the preservation and uplift of society. College Doing Full Doty. At this annual meeting I think It Is worthy of record that our college is already sending 105 of Its students and faculty Into the active service of the country during the war, and that at this time a most Impor tant work is being undertaken by the presi dent and his assistants for the training of reconstruction aides and for a Summer school of physical education. The trustees also understand that the United States Government has offered a method of co operation with colleges by which the stu dent body can be enlisted, uniformed and drilled. In part, for future call in the ex igencies of war. In conclusion, I take this occasion to commend to you the work of this office, with its superintendent and assistants, and to express renewed confidence In the whole college administration. We are living in an extraordinary age. presenting to us extraordinary problems, and a peculiar bur den is laid upon us, as trustees of what we believe is a great institution, to do all In our power In making It an Inspiration to the whole life of the community. ImmpnM Tasks LI Ahead. TVe are challenged by a world of fearful nd of sublime realities, and all the high er Institutions of society have at once the task of facing these realities and shaping things that are into the things that ought to be. In this perilous time, is not the col l.ge an elect instrumentality among those which strive to ennoble the people, saving thm from the equal perils of a false con servatism and a false radicalism, instruct ing them In the arts of having life and of having it more abundantly, and' empower ing them for the manifold responsibilities of social sen-Ice, arising out of the stress and strain of the Nation's life? 1 ' ' r "J ' 1 " ' u '-' ' i 1 x ' ' SI LOYAL WOMAN PROTESTS MRS.

No alien enemy women have regis tered at the Aurora Postoffice. al though Mrs. Christopher Nofziger was here from the Macksburg section to ascertain If she was affected by the ruling. It appears that she is a native-born American, but married Mr. Nofziger, who was born in Alsace-Lorraine prior to its annexation by Germany in 1871 thus making her an alien through his failure to acquire citisenshlp. Mr. Nof ziger, under a misapprehension, regis tered as an enemy alien. His wife, however, does not like the idea of a Missouri-born woman having to regis ter as an enemy, and If It Is possible legally to avoid, she will not do so, Mr. Nofziger, his wife and sons are loyal Americans. The Postmaster here has taken up the matter of Nofziger's erroneous registration and will try to have his papers canceled. REED GETS EXPERTl Miss Mary McMillan, of Eng land, to Be Instructor Here.

Miss McMillan, it is said, is probably the only woman so trained available in the country, as her experience since 1914 has been largely with wounded soldiers returned from the battlefields. Her selection for Reed College is con sidered important. She was in charge of the clinic which received the first Belgian wounded in August, 1914. Since last February she has been at the Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, receiving American soldiers returned from Fance.

"U" Students Give Annual Commencement Play. "Cyrano de Bera-erae" Presented by Dramatic Classes. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene. June 19. (Special.) Powdered and simpering women of fashion and beruf- fled and becurled marquises made a frivolous Parisian 17th century back ground for Roxane, the beautiful, and Cyrano, the man of the monster nose. who scintillated in Kostana a five-act heroic comedy. "Cyrano de Bergerac," presented here Friday night at the out door theater In the city park on the north slope of Skinners Butte. This was the annual commencement play, given by the university classes In dramatic Interpretation under the di rection of Archibald Ferguson Reddie, head of the department of public speaking. Cyrano is essentially a one-man play. with most of the cast simply foils for the wit of the leading man. The part of Cyrano, a most taxing role, was taken by Professor Reddle, who played the poet-soldier-lover with sympathy and finesse. Margaret Crosby aa Rox ane, was charming In her sweet Sim plicity. A beautiful, well-modulated voice is one of Miss Crosby's most valuable dramatic assets, and ehe used it to good advantage In her last ap pearance as a member of the unt versity cast, having finished her four years of work here with a remarkable record of Improvement in dramatic un derstanding and power. Miss Crosby's home Is in Riddle. Or. Norvell Thompson's work aa Rague- neau. the "pastry cook or poets, aa serves mention. This freshman, from Nyssa, has already won his way to im portant parts in the plays given by the dramatic interpretation classes. The performance of John Houston as Comte de Gulche. patron of the arts, also in love with Roxana, was con spicuous for its spirit and poise. The story of "Cyrano" Is fairly well known. The action is built around the character of Cyrano, who, because of his enormous nose, believes himself forever precluded from woman's love. He is in love with his cousin Roxane, who unwittingly tells him of her pas sion for Christian, a cadet In the guards, and begs Cyrano to protect her lover In case of danger. Cyrano prom lses, becoming Christian's devoted friend and writing for him the won derful love letters which hold the af fectlon of Roxane.

Christian is killed In battle shortly after the marriage which Cyrano's strategy permits the couple to have performed, and Roxane enters a convent. It Is not till 15 years later, upon the eve of Cyrano's death, that Roxane dis covers who It Is with whom she has been in love. Cyrano's heroic death scene In the fifth. act gave Mr. Reddie an opportunity for some effective work, which he did not slight. This Is the sixth commencement play given under Mr. Reddle's direction. Former ones were: As You Like It. In 1912; "Peer Gynt," 1913: "King Lear," 1914; "The Shopkeeper Turned Gentle man," 1915, and the "Comedy of Er rors." 1916.
