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?

LOYAL WOMAN PROTESTS
MRS. CHRISTOPHER NOFZIGEg
SEEKS STATUS OP CITIZENSHIP.
Horn la Missouri. Wife of Allen Mar
ries Man Who Neglects to Take
Ont Naturalisation Papers.
AURORA, Or., June 22. (Special.)
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.

College for the reconstruction course

"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. It finally becomes
evident that the heroine Is In love with

what she believes Is Christian's mind
and soul as expressed by his letters-
written by Cyrano. 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. The play was omitted last
year on account of enlistments near the
date of production.

N PLANNING the Finley Institute we
had a definite thought in mind.
An institution that would offer to those in
bereavement the same refined and restful
atmosphere that we would expect in our
own home.
Although this beautiful residential
Funeral Institution is so distinctly a Fin
ley idea, it is for all, regardless of their
means. No one else can or does offer more
for any stated price.
