Information for this column Is fur nished by a committee from the Ore gon branch of the Association of Col legiate Alumnae. The close of the acad emic year at Keod col lege was the occasion for a College day cele bration, which was held last Monday. Vitii quia week, safely past, the students and faculty met for a. firm 1 mt.tnMthu. party and post examina tion jubilee. More enthusiasm was un. corked than was thought could exist after an barrassing- Veek of quizzes. -ine program, wiucn included a oox upper, a number of stunta, and an lnrormal dance, was carried through. The ftetivltfcs did not begin until evening, aa rain interfered with the ball game between the allstar team and a picked team, which was origin ally scheduled to take place in the afternoon. Rain and dampness also forced the celebrants -. to give over their plans for an outdoor lunch and .at ini 1.

The faculty gave- a travesty on B. C. Ewer's course In college life, which every freshman is expected to take. Dr. Ewer was impersonated by W. H.

The seniors grasped the opportunity to take a parting shot at most of the pet hobbles which exist about the college. The seniors are Gladys Lowden, Wil liam H. Boddy, Lizzie Ross, Claude Newlln, and Arthur Cay lor. "A Study In Scarlet" was the title of the dormitory stunt.-It presented the plot and solution of the mystery of the blood stains recently found In the Arts building. The cause of the stains was depicted as being a pitched battle between the suffragettes of the col lege, who demanded admission to the Comus cluH and other privileges at present held exclusively by the men. end -the men of the colleee. who re fused to grant their petition. A wounded student dragged himself to .the telephone and 'sent In a call for a taxi, then crawled off before the taxi driver arrived. A conaultatlon of de tectives brought out numeroua the cries, all of . which were pooh-poohed bv President Foster In the person of Archibald Clark, who set forth the ac tual reason. Upon being' questioned as to the basis for his solution of the mystery the president said he knew because he was there. Ho Conclusion .Reached. The city studenta also made the blood mystery the subject of their plot the occasion for the stains, how ever, being assigned to a different cause. Members of the faculty, having oeen lnrormed by a conscientious stu dent that a plan Is afoot to break into the office safe, get the grade book, and find out the marks, lay In wait and overpower the marauders. The janitor upon finding the stains, ex citedly called In J. J.

Commencement exercises were held this year in the partially completed auditorium of the new gymnasium. Al though in an unfinished state the new hall gave splendid promise of the arch itectural beauty and fine acoustic properties that it will have In a marked degree when It is finished. The platform afforded seating accom modations for the class of 171 persons, the college council, the distinguished visitors of the day, and the orchestra and singers. The audience section when fully seated will have a capacity of about 2200. t The senior honor students this year among the various departments are as follows: Agriculture Charles Hill. of Berea.

They were each in gold, said by the donor, to be symbolic of the character of the recipients. Wellesley College, Tree Day at wellesley this year presented two features of change by comparison with previous years. Lit erary exericses accompanying the pre sentatlon and acceptance of the spade were held in the morning, separate from the pageant which came at 3 o'clock In the afternoon. No dlstlnC' tlon of classes was made in the page ant. For the old -plan of presenting each class by some special favor, more striking effects of the pageant as a whole were substituted. Owing to the loss of Its largest dormitory, the college has found it 1m possible to offer hospitalities to alumnae, as in paat years. This de ficiency has been supplied by two large schools In the neighborhood and by private households. As contributions to the restoration and endowment fund, the college has received the past week $800 from Mt Holyoke college. $1000 from Brvn Mawr college, $500 from the Dana hall achool, the money in each case being given by the student body. The tree day pageant netted nearly $3000. New York University. New York University conferred some 600 odd degrees last week, to gether with seven honorary degrees. The representation of students is dis tributed over nearly every state in the union and several foreign coun tries. Dr. John H. MacCracken, syndic of the university and secretary of the Graduate school, in an interview, re vealed the striking cosmopolitan char acter of the graduate degrees con ferred.

University of Washington. The moving-up assembly and the senior farewell rolled into one, made the last meeting of the Washington students one of the best attended in the college year.- The "pear-graduates had a banquet In the evening preced ing the. affair, and 'then marched on maase to Meany hall, where the rest of the students were gathered on the steps having a song fest. The seniors left their front seats In the auditor ium and moved to the balcony; the Juniors moved forward to the seats of nonor, the sophomores took the Junior places' and the freshmen came down from the gallery. The winners of W were e-lven their letters, the last song was sung, and the students went out on the lawn, where attractive booths had been erected by the classes, and refresh ments were being served. There are no more society functions on the unl verslty calendar: The Big "W club refuses to admit Dasaetball. wrestling or tennis Into its fold. Although the student body has voted to put these sports In the major division, the club at Its final meeting of the year went on record aa opposed to the change. Football, crew, baseball, and track are the only orancneg considered major sports bs the men of the club. The sentiment of the club was' laraelv lnflunc.ri yv the alumni members, who believe that me eiuaem ooay was Irresponsible when it elevated basketball, wrestling and tennis to major standing, and that we Dig "W" ciuo, as the most Interested body on the .campus, should make a stand to bring the students to a realization of their mistake. The new point system for regulat lng-the number of honors to be held by a woman student at Washington during one semester, has failed thus far to accomplish Its purpose, accord- lng to a statement given out by the Women's league. The reason for the failure la that the women have neg lected to acknowledge their points. ijasi semester mucn puoncity was given to the political conditions at Washington, where It " was claimed that one Taction controlled the elec tions and monopolized ' the c honorary positions. Aa a result, Tolo club and tne women's league worked out a sya tern of points.

Seven honorary degrees and nearly 2000 degrees in courses were conferred June 3, at the 160th annual commence ment at Columbia university. The exercises surpassed In impresslvenesa any of those that have gone before. The academic procession, composed of the host of students In their gowns and mortar-boards, started across the campus to. the gymnasium at 10 o'clock, and was followed by the fac ulty in tneir elaborate gowns and hoods. The recipients of honorarv degrees marched with the officers and trustees of the university. The conferring of degrees and tne address of President Butler took up tne greater part or tne morning. The rest of the day was given to the al umni. There Is In Portland'a Muaeum of Art. given b7 certain of the heirs of the late Mrs. W. S. Ladd, In her memory, a re markable masterpiece " of painting. The . picture is called "Figures in a For- iSt." It was painted by Adolphe Montlcelli. an Italian by de scent, but a Frenchman by birth, who, during the years of his life, 1824 to 1896, painted his own vision of the poetry and beauty of life, quite aloof from all the contemporaneous world of art. Since his death his plcturea have steadily risen in value and con sideration, so that he Is today, so far as dealers In paintings are concerned, still a "coming man." The "Figures In a Forest," to the many who never have time to really look at a painting, usually excites only an Idle, passing question, "What's that vague, unfinished, thing?" Or, sometimes' visitors fell, as did a tall, fresh-colored young man, who demand ed Information aa" to whether It was a very old painting, and on being told the probable date, said. "Well. It's dam aged." But let us. placing ourseivea at a proper distance, to see it in Its fullness, with perhaps an occaaionai near view to "see how he did It" and with a mind and heart, free from pre conceived Ideas, as far as may be, of how pictures should look, give thla painting Its half hour. Between the stately tree minus in an autumn-acented wood, long ago a marble temple to a pagan goddess waa reared. Ita columns still stand, dim In the forest, and Its large blocks, al most again "become but natural rocks, afford a resting place for some of the richly dressed figures seen in the golden afternoon light which pervades the painting. Other women circle around the rim of an old fountain, and still others dance nearer to us, In the foreground, to tha airy strains of a harp played by one of the gracious women, who, with their cavaliers, make a rich pattern against the dark shades of the trees. The main force of this picture is its rich chord of color, yet beyond and dignifying this. It has a reserve of balanced composition ana, in a oroau sense, a nearness to nature, which re minds one of any great forest in the warm light of an autumn afternoon, a forest, for Instance, such as our great trees at Gearhart paric, trans lated Into a warmer key of color. Looked at with the sympathy necess ary to secure its secrets, the picture gives us a rerresning Dream uj. uio- tlngulshed poetry. One sees it a ita best on a day of full sunsnine.

" Remarkable Collection of Dutch Artist's Etchings on Exhibition Here, Being Loaned by Portland Owners. It la universally conceded that no greater etcher has yet lived than Rem brandt, the son of the miller of Ley den. His life covers the greater part of the seventeenth century, and in his 60 odd years an enormous quantity of paintings, drawings and etchings were brought forth. The exhibition of Rembrandt's work now at the Museum of Art Includes 100 original etchings, two etched copies of! his plates and 18 of the fine reproductions of his etchings by Amand-Durand. together with six original drawings. The etch ings are from the William M. Ladd collection, and the drawings are owned by August Berg of this city. Sidney Colvin. the ' keeper of the prints in the British meseum, says of Rembrandt: "Now, two centuries and a quarter after his death, the fame of Rembrandt has risen again to a point that it had never reached before. He has taken his place as the foremost of the "naturalist" painters of the world; a true Dutchman, resolute to see and interpret the world according to his own vision of It, observing northern nature with a northern ey, and not attempting to Imitate the Greek or Italian grace of grouping or perfection of physical type;, but In vesting life as he saw it. and the past as he imagined it. with an essential poetry of his own. ' One somewhat superficial element in this poetry de pends upon a peculiar love for curl osltles of Oriental and other costume and adornment, a taste which he shared with several of. his teachers and contemporaries. Far profounder elements were his unrivalled Insight Into the strength and pathos of human character and feeling, not disdaining the common, the degraded or the grotesque; and. his acute and wholly original sense of the magic of light and shade and atmospherlo mystery, as enveloping and - transfiguring all the objects of vision, and revealing In thenr a thousand subtleties of form. color, and relation ' unperceived by common eyes. From the gift of na ture and from Indefatigable self- training he derived an unequalled com. mand, which steadily strengthened from youth to age, of the technical resources required for expressing these powers and sensibilities on can vas." Collection Is Bare Treat. - In even our largest cities one is not able always to see suc-h a collection of etchings as our present Portland ex hibition affords and coming, as It does, in the more leisurely portion of the year an opportunity is given fot the study which alone opens the door to the full significance and beauty of works of this sort. They Include as subjects beggars and grotesque figures, landscapes, portraits and re ligious plecea, chiefly, with luat here and there a touch of the classic tradi tions in painting, which were always rather foreign to Rembrandt The etching called "A Toung Woman Reading," In its breadth and beautiful composition, is related to -the great drawings of the Italians of the 16th century, but Its simple, homely human quality Is more strictly of the in dividuality of our Dutchman. George Moore, In a recent article In the Cen tury, gives us his belief that Rem brandt la the flrat artist to portray woman as an Individual soul, strictly a feminine human being, not a creation of man's fancy and noetrv. a nlav- thlng for his pleasure or something existing for Ms comfort alone. Neither do we find evtr In his pictures models who pose for a given subject or atti tude. In every case they read, work. listen, stand or meditate as living oeings. Ana in the numerous por traits it Is not the outer shell which Uthe artist has drawn, but the living. Dreaming, surrering. enjoying aoul. The simple, little portrait of "A Toung Man Meditating" gives us aa complete an apprehension of his character as we might perhaps obtain In a two vol ume novel in which he appeared aa the chief character. Age was never more wonderfully ' and more tenderly portrayed In man or woman than does Rembrandt show forth its falling, phy alcal and. often In his pictures, waxing spiritual state. Never "In the least sentimental, his figures brim with feeling. Not the least Important lis tener to "Christ Preaching." Is with out characterization and a plain state ment or how the words of Jesus strike upon his mind and heart. Landscapes Expreaa Bigness. The landscapes are equally un tinged with any false or trite feeling. and yet most to be remarked for giv ing us the broad, big feeling of the mood, the transparent face of nature. The hours of the Museum remain for the summer, from 9 to 5 o'clock on week days; 2 to 6, on- Sundays free the afternoons of Sunday. Tues day, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, so that these pictures may be fully seen and enjoyed by everyone who loves -the finer things in graphio art. Many Visitors at Museum. The Museum of Art kept Pen house during the Rose Festival, and many visitors who had not before enjoyed ita collections found it to be a very agreeable addition to the recreational features offered by Portland, and a quiet spot In which to gain repose after the more exciting entertainments offered by the street parades.

A) and Japan, It will not be caused by any failure for either to salute the flag of the other. This can bo vouched for by the entire city and transbay populace, who thought Mount Lasses had gotten worse whan the big guns of Fort Scott thundered a salute to the Mikado's gallant cruisers, the Asama and Aiuma, when these Jap aneae war veaaela earner in through the Golden Gate and made for anchor In Man-o'-war Row. The visiting cruis ers did not wait for the echo of Uncle Srm's guns to die away before taking a hand In the salutations themselves, and altogether there has been much good gunpowder burned on the altar of Btiquette. And what a good time the officera are having! The Japanese association had so many things arranged for their visit ors' entertainment that It took real Rr-oseveltian daring to undertake them.
