University Opens.

University of Oregon, Eugene—The
State University opened its doors to
incoming students SepL 20, and from
all indications it is entering upon the
most prosperous year within its his
tory. The first of the registration days
was set aside for the first-year stu
dents and a total of 287 filed their reg
istration certificates. Practically all
of these are freshmen and an unusually
large proportion of them are from
Portland and Multnoma county.
Students will continue to register
throughout the week, as many are late
returning.
A. R. Tiffany, registrar, predicts
that the registration this year will
reach 800, which will eclipse all pre
vious records.
Several additions have been made to
the university faculty.
Professor Ar
thur Collier, of Harvard, who has been
connected for many years with the
United States geological survey, has
been chosen to fill the chair of geology,
which has been vacant since the death
of Dr. Thomas Condon.
