A NEW SPIRIT FOR WILLAMETTE 3 - In this column on Sunday the year's work of Willamette was reviewed, telling of the graduating class of 97 students, the largest in the history of the institution;. of the increase in the budget of $10i000 for the coming year, going to $145, 000; of the fact that Willamette now has approximately a $1,000,000 endowment, $1,OO0,QOO in buildings and equip ment and grounds, and will have a million and a half endow ment fund in 1928, making it a two and a half million dollar school; that there is a program for quality students and quality work, and science, library and music buildings are also in the program But the commencement exercises of Sunday and Monday brought out some new facts that are significant and heart ening.; rr - The baccaulaureate sermon of President Doney on Sun- day was a masterpiece; the graduating address of Hon. ' v Robert A. Booth on Monday was one of the finest in all the " long history, of the honored institution . . And the alumni banquet on Monday evening was unique even in the galaxy of such banquets; it was both brilliant arid . inspiring. .. . 1 The alumni association hadf at its afternoon meeting Z. .committed itself to a loyalty fund, and had started it with - about $150; the idea being that every alumnus shall con- tir to l am V tlA MAMAillMMi AtAtM VMAntl Aa W AMI W r f 4" f'ttin VAVT . t ' a V . . a a i una, wnicn snail ne an enaowment iuna v v And at the banquet the spirit that inspired the loyalty fund was dominant. -It was a fine .spirit; it was a new con- . a . mm' J ' aTXl l . .1. . f .

HonRoberifA o'oth spoke to this theme, feelingly, wonderfully. He has the best right of all men to so speak, for he has been the largest individual giver to Willamette; the greatest giver of money, and the best giver of himself and his time-helpful in every possible way. He sensed the great things that are to flow from the inspiration and inception of the loyalty fund. He visionetl the good that wilf come from a unitedly helpful alumni, growing greater in numbers and in influence throughout the years. r He spoke of the other great benefactions that are bound to come from the gifts, small and large and regular, of the far-flung alumni, active in various callings in all. the lands bordering on the seven, seas; in missionary fields, in teaching and preaching positions, in the professions and business and on the farms and in high and humble places. Willamette university's future in the keeping of such a 7 - band ol loyal men ana women is secure, ana mere was a f hush over the banqueters as they listened to the inspiring L'.f words of Mr. Booth. Impromptu, they were from the heart :o-the.inanekuent.-.tothe' point of inspiration; speaking almost as the officers reported to the chief priests and Phar isees, on an occasion tne report- ot wnicn rings down the .15 ages i "Never man spake like this man OUR SALEM HOTELS' The criticism of the Salem hotels by Irving E. Vining, president of the State Chamber of Commerce, in his noonday luncheon speech before the .Salem Chamber of Commerce on Monday, was not like it appeared in the printed words, says Mr. Vining - Because the reporters misinterpreted and misunderstood that portion of his remarks. . - Mr. Vining was complimentary to the Salem hotels in the matter of their comfortable accommodations But he said Salem has no outstanding hotels that would attract coast wide attention. " f 1 The fact is, Salem has a number of good hotels, and the fact is also that Salem does very well in accommodating large crowds, like those attending the state fair and the -legislature . and various conventions that are 'held' here. Our hotels,' - " when, great crowds are expected or come, when their accom modationos are insufficient, assist in locating rooms for the overflow guests, and at such times our best homes are opened to the visitors nearly all of our homes havingextra accom modations being brought into service on some occasions, : , v - Salem has -also many fine restaurants and boarding houses, and rooming houses .,, ''' r And in fact, up to the present time, Salem has done quite well in this respect; in accommodating all comers and making . them comfortable.- . Perhaps the time is here, or about here, for a George B Guthrie; for a man, like the builder of the new Elslnore theater here For a man to build in Salem a distinctive hotel; that wil ; command coast wid and nation wide repute. . : Thi3 man heed not necessarily be an outsider. He may live in Salem now. He may be like Mr. Davenport, who. built the renowned Davenport hotel id Spokane; beginning, jyith a small popular restaurant and working up a member of - the ZJarion county, Oregon, Davenport family; a relative of f J v v.

' l .. , v From. , the .street Clay Wales, returning at duak7 could see that there was no' light In the,aptrt ment," and his heart beat heavily as he automatically hastened his steps," -with his mind "whirling around the question "of "what rhe would .do if Eve left hinw . .. The door into the apartment had what was to him an ominoug creak. No" familiar form reveal ed t itself to him ; in a sweeping glance around the room, and his heart, beat the harder. "EVE! . . t Eve!' The sound of his' voice, died in the silence. She - wasn't there. Clay, sat down limply. ThenL suddenly, he got up, pulled out the folding bed and looked into the drawers of the dresser' be hind. No she hadn't taken her clothes. . . Perhaps she hadn't left him after all; was only over to her mother's. . . -v ,Clay had had a -wretch ed afternoon with his conscience. His mother had appeared rather hurt over the absence of Eve and the tardy explanation, and her questioning glances had only added to his discomfort. Then, too, there was the dullness of en deavoring to be interested in the reminiscences and conversa tional ' commonplaces of the . eld ers and their dry humor. He had never liked the sort of people his parents apparently cared for, anyway. All the while as If being the only young one in a crowd of ancients was not enough of, an ordeal, there was Eve to worry about. There was the plaguing thought of losing her, and the personal embarrassment involv ed. Senaration would mean tm damaged pride as well as an in jured heart. And it cannot be said that in his worried reflec tions at this particular time, was one of these more important than the other After smoking a cigarette, go ing through the Sunday paper again, making a search of the ice box that revealed nothing tempting to his gorged palate.. Clay went went to sit by the win dow. Plainly he - was one of those gregariously-minded persons who do not know what to do with themselves when alone. - A few minutes, at the window, spent in covetous con templation of a flashy sport mod el car and he was again restless. And worry about Eve and her whereabouts was by now in the back of his head. Acting on im pulse he took his hat and left the apartment-after being there less than an. hour.- ' . However, at the outer portal he turned back. There he caught a glimpse of Eve hurridly approach ing, her clothing pressed against her body by the breeze so, - that she looked like a sculpture, so inelastic was she In her move ments; and the seriousness of her countenance revealed by light deflected.-' from apartment house windows under which she. passed. Clay felt called upon to act a part and had time to return to the suite and get himself posed in a chair as if he were sleeping before Eve came in. -A sigh qf exhaustion escaped her as she dropped into a chair, pulling off her hat and pushing out her 'feet. For a'longjtlme she sat gazing toward Clay's face but looking through rather than at him, while he, from un der his .eyelids, stole a furtive glance at her now and then. At last tired of his role, he had a pseudo-awakening' and sat up, blinking. "Hello, dearest. . . . Go to your mother's?" "No, I was walking in the park. . . Did you enjoy yourself V "Aw it was awfully dull, as I expected. A bunch of old fog ies, and all they knew to talk about was something that hap pened a long time ago." "When we get old We'll live in the past too. Youth lives in the future; only middle age in the present." She got up and drew a cool pitcher of water from the kitchen tap. Clay whistled some bars of a popular song. When she returned to offer him a glass he Bald: "Let's go to a dance tonight.". - His outstretched arms moved in rhythm with the tune he was whistling. She shook her .head. " I want to talk to you, Clay." ; . Her countenance told him what she wanted to talk about. : "I went to the park this after noon to walk and think. ... I thought about you and me and our marriage and our future I don't know whetherI. lcjve yoj now Clay, I only know .yon'ye hurt, me very deeply hurt , mjr heart, my conscience, my pride,' all of the inside of me. I sup pose, though, that if I didn't love you I wouldn't feel so badly about It." -,, ;.. - :i"..-v Her voice remained low and unemotional. She , spoke as though she 'had thought out ev- - .- .- it etytntor8he, had'to-sayr '"t don't know just what I've done to make pa do as you have done, so I don't' know how I could prevent a recurrence of, it In the future. And I don't think you know, eith er."' : She waved down the words he appeared to utter, and went 6n in her same even tone: "I don't believe in divorce. Clay . But if we are not suited to each dlher Incompatible, I believe it's called -then I think we ought to separate now before there are children to consider." Tliere' Was a" pause, in which she gazed away from him out of the window at the distant electric signs, and not at Clay, who was fumbling subconsciously with his fingers. Then she went on: "1 never expected to have to think bout such a thing as .divorce, but now I know why It is neces sary to some persons, and why divorce laws of some states are so cruel " Clay broke In: "Oh, but Eve, dearest, we don't want to talk about it." "Yes we do," she rejoined. "If we can't be happy now is the time for us to separate; not when it is too late. I don't know how it Is our parents managed to get along together for so long, for surely they had their ups and downs, too." As if she were con scious of having wandered from the point at issue, she abruptly brought herself back again: "Clay, we mustn't think of hav ing any children until we are sure of ourselves." " am sure, Eve. I love you." - She reflected a moment. "But love isn't enough I know that how. ... I can see now how love blinds us and gets us into trouble. I can see how persons who really don't love each other can be con tented in marriage. .. . . Oh, there are so many things I can see now! Clay, you too, must have a wholly different .view of love and life and the important things than yon had before you married me." "I have. But Eve, I know I love "you." She gazed long and intently Into his eyes before she replied: And if you didn't would you tell me so? Don't you feel that you must tell . me that you love me whether you do or not, just to to, well, sort of make it easier for me?" "Yes, I would." " "I donst think so. Clay. We're all cowards in matters of senti ment." "Well, what are we going to do?" There was weariness and Impatience in his tone. Then she unfolded her plan. (To be continued.)
