M| N Washington’s diary for Oct.’ 8 ,
I
1785, he wrttM that about 11
J| o'clock, after they were In bed,
Mr. Houdou and tola three young
man assistants arrived, coming by boat
from Alexandria.
“ Daring the sculptor’s two weeks'
stay Washington sat for a bust that
was modeled In clsy, writing In his
diary a fall account o f the method o f
mixing the plaster o f parts and tbs
making of the molds, a process In
Which be wae greatly Interested. H e
also submitted*'to tho unpleasant op
eration of having a Ufa mask made of
his features In order to Insure a per
fect likeness. In the presence of Mr.
Madison exact measurements o f his
figure were made snd fa ll details of
his uniform were noted to enable the
sculptor to complete b is work.
“The clay bust was then left by the
sculptor at Mount Vernon, where It la
one o f the most highly valued of all
e f Mount Vernon’s relict o f the Father
o f His Country. But the life mask
and molds o f the host Houdon himself
took to Paris, not trusting them to the
hands o f bis assistant, ‘for,’ said he,
i f they are lost In the ocean I am de
termined to perish with them.’
“One day during his stay at Mount
Vernon Washhigton was looking at
some fine horses with a view to their
purchase, bat the high price asked by
the groom in charge so incensed him
that the man was promptly sent away.
Houdon, who witnessed the tranaac-
tlno. saw with an artist’s eye in W a s h -'
Ington's pose and expression the very
thing needed for his' statue snd made
memorandum o f It. On O ct 19 W ash
ington writes: ‘Mr. Houdon. having
finished the business which brought
him hither, went np Monday with his
people, work and Implements tn%my
barge to'Alexandria to take passage In
the stage for Philadelphia next morn
ing.’
“The statue, according to agreement
was to be finished In three years, bat
was not completed until 1780. Jeffer
son saw the work as It progressed and
was enthusiastic over the likeness and
characteristic attitude that the sculp
tor had caugh t”— H. A. Ogden In S t

When the land for the present cap
ital was being secured the commission
ers appointed by President Washington
found it bard to persuade some of tba
local landholders to part with their
fields. In “ Walks About Washington”
an old story good enough to be true la
told about one Imvld Burns, a canny
Scot, who held out so long that Presi
dent Washington personally undertook
tils conversion.
“But for this opiiortuntty. Mr. Barns,
you might have died a i*oor tobacco
planter," said the president.
.“Aye, mon,” snap(>ed Burns, ■ “and
Imd yd no married the W ldder Cnstls,
wi‘ all her nagura, ye’d ha’ been a land
surveyor the noo and a mighty poor
ane at that.”
However, when he learned that un
less he accepted the liberal terms of
fered blin Ills land would be con
demned and seized at an appraisal
probably much lower Burns met the
president In quite another mood and to
the final question, “Well, sir, what
have you ennrluded to do?" astonished
every one by Ills prompt res(H>nse:
“Wliate'er your excellency wad hae
me."
O r one pf his fields now stands the
White House, and an adjacent lot be
ams Lafayette square.

PACIFIC COLLEGE
Lyra Miles returned Sunday
night alter a week spent at home
resting.
Mildred Benson and Belle
White are in the dorm itory this
semester.
The Men's Glee Club are put
ting in tw o nights a week o f
hard practice now. The annual
concert will be given soon before
any trips are made.
Vin Vincent spoke to the men
at Y. M. last week, telling o! the
value ot the Christian Associa
tion and the need ot a city V. M.
C. A. for the young men not in
college.
There is a real girls' gymnasi
um class included in Pacific's
curriculum at last. Beginning
with the new semester a two-
hour class was started with
Miss McCracken as instructor.
One credit tow ard college grad
uation is given for this work.
SPAULDING
The annual freshman-sopho
more party occurred on Febru
ary 17 at Kanyon Hall,. The
guests enjoyed one another im
mensely in the wholesome games
that were planned and in the
music provided by members of
the freshman class. The little
accessories that completed the
refreshments proclaimed the fa
miliar fact that February is a
month for R ational heroes’
birthdays.
Pacific College revenged itself
on its old enemies from Forest
Grove last Friday night in the
basket ball game played in the
college gym. Pacific University
played a pepless game bnt in
spite ot this the game was fast
and interesting. The first half
was rather slow and close as P.
C. didn't get started right. Bnt
in the second halt the locals
played a whirlwind game and
completely outclassed the Forest
Grovers. The final score read P.
C. 37, P. U. 19.
Friday night is, the big night.
A special train ot college people
and bb sin ess-men will journey to
“ Mac*’ to see the final game of
the season. Pacific College is
nohr at the head ot the non-con
ference league by virtue o f the
deteat handed to P. U. last week
and by defeating “ Mac” will be
non-conterence champions ot Or
egon. Everybody’s going. L et’s
beat “ Mac.” Plan to go. Spe
cial leaves depot at 7:15. Round
trip including game 80 cents.
Next Friday night, February 23.
A general information test,
the second in the last three years
was given to tbe student body
on Friday of last week. No one
showed startling intelligence in
answering the fifty questions, al
though the resulting ratios were
very comforting to tbe men, tor
in each college class and in the
academy department the men
averaged higher than did the
girls. In the commercial depart
ment alone did the girls excell
their masculine competitors in
knowledge.
Score one for the
boys!

Under the auspices of the
North Main Club a Southern
Dinner was given at Bon-Accord
House, the home o f B. F. Bixby,
on St. Valentine’s eve.
The
members had the rooms beauti
fully decorated with Oregon
grape, pussy willows, hearts
and cupids, and dinner partners
were drawn for—heart-shaped
favors designating the wearers.
After the tables were cleared
plantation melodies were sung by
all, followed by a varied -pro
gram of vocal and instrumental
music. With song and story a
most delightful evening was
spent and one of the objects of
the club—viz., neighboring in its
best and highest sense—was
gieatly forwarded.
The next meeting of the club
will be held at Cherry Grove, the
home of Mrs. W. Badley, on
February 28th.
