O. A. C. NOTES
College Props Flankers From Rolls
Fro It pipectors Organize
Corvallis. Twenty-six students
have been dropped from the rolls of
the Oregon Agricultural College and
forty-five others have been placed on
probation because of failure to satis
fy the scholastic requirements during
the first semester.
The work as a whole has been bet
ter this year than ev"er before. The
faculty is determined however, to
keep the grade work up by dropping
those students who fall behind because
of failure to make the proper applica
tion. To this end the parents and
guardians will be asked to co-operate
At the close of each temester a re
port of the standings of each student
will be sent directly to the parent or
guardian.
The organization of an association
of County Fair Inspectors for the state
of Oregon was one of the most Im
portant results of the work of Far
mers' Week at the Oregon Agricultu
ral college. It means better protec
tion and greater opportunities for the
Oregon fruit grower.
Seven men have been chosen to
represent the Oregon Agricultural
college In the Intercollegiate debating
contests this year. The men selected
are S. A. Wilson, of Portland; H. D.
Marsh, of Portland; Albert Asbahr, of
Cornelius, Wash.; E. B. Stanley, of
Lone Rock E. F. Weatherford, of
Sumpter A. P. Gibson, of Pendleton,
and E. B. Lemon, of Grass Valley.

THE CONCERT OF WHITMAN
COLLEGE GIRLS GLEE CLUB
((Contributed.)
The concert given by the Girls'
Glee Club of Whitman College last
evening, under the auspices of Pen
dleton Academy at the First' Presby
terian church, was well attendee! and
greatly appreciated by an audience
composed of Pendleton's music-lov
ers. The excellent program was sur.
ficiently varied to Batlsfy nil tastes.
and It would be difficult to say which
number was the most popular. The
work of the Glee Club Itself was a
decided treat. An organization of wo
men's voices so well trained is sel
dom heard, and the effects produced
last evening were delightful. Among
the best numbers was "The Rosary."
The exquisite harmonies of Nevln's
composition were strikingly brought
out by the sweet, rich voices. All the
numbers In Intonation, shading, and
artistic rendition, showed the careful
and thorough training received under
the direction of Mrs. Appy.
The ladles' quartet composed of the
Misses Williams, Paddock, Gwlnn and
Dlven, was very pleasing. Their
voices are good and blend well, a ne
cessary condition for good quartet
work. These ladles were obliged to.
respond to encores nt each appearance
and were fully equal rn the demands
made upon them.
The soloists were Mrs. Appy. teach
er of voice In Whitman conservatory.
Miss Lucile Preston. Miss Alberta
Williams, Miss Florence Bohannon,
and Miss Paddock. Mrs. Appy. who
has a dramatic soprano voice of much
power and beauty, sang an aria from
"Alda" (Verdi), responding with the
charming "April Rain," by Speaks.
Miss Preston sang "Marguerlta"
(Helmund). and "Because I Love
Tou, Dear," also responding to an en
core. She has a rich contralto,-voice
which Is well trained, and her sing
ing was much enjoyed. Miss Wil
liams, a lyric soprano of a sweet
liquid quality sang "Somewhere,
Sometime" (Clough Lelghter). and
responded with a pleasing ' encore.
Miss Bohannon Is a mezzo-soprano of
much promise. Her singing of "Der
Erlkong" was highly artistic and
Intelligent, and her beauty of voice
showed to advantage In her three
numbers. Miss Paddock very ably
took the solo part In one of the Glee
Club numbers "Invited by Mistake."
Miss Ludwlg accompanied the
singers most capably and this was not
the least enjoyed feature of the con
cert. The playing of Mr. Sterling, piano
soloist, who assisted the Glee Club,
was, as usual, artistic and satisfying,
and needs no further comment since
he has already-been heard here on
several occasions. His numbers were
"Hark! Hark! the Lark" (Schubert)
and an Etude by Chopin.
In every particular the concert was
a decided success.
T M RETRAYED" SAYS
AUTHOR OF CHANTECLER
Paris. The financial success of M.
Rostand's play, "Chantecler" Is phe
nomenal. It is said that the first
hundred representations In Paris alone
will bring In no less than $320,000.
When the managers of the theater St
Martin have pocketed a million or so
people will cease to ask, "Is Chan
teeler a success?"
Rostand says: "Do not congratu
late me. I have been betrayed by my
Interpreters. I suffer the tortures of
the damned."
Now all the world knows his chief
Interpreter Is M. Gultry, and that the
actor and author are not on speaking
terms. It Is said that on a recent oc
casion, when the poet and his lllus.
trlous family left the theatre, Gultry
pointed the finger of scorn at them
and remarked: "There go our coun
try cousins."
As to the critics, they are all at
war with eaeh other. Alfred Capus
says: "Chantecler is a play upon whose
success or failure I cartnot pronounce
until after at least 200 representa
tions." Julius Lemaitre declares: "It Is a
fable of 4000 verses."
