Oregon how to Make Fruit Crops Pay Bonanza Profits in the Fertile North-West THE ONE THING NEEDFUL... EASILY PREPARED FOR USE To prepare a spray of McBaill's Carbolic Compound requires neither time nor labor. No heating or toiling of water is called for. Dilute forty gallons of cold water with one gallon of the Compound for summer spraying, and twenty-five gallons of water with one of the Compound for winter use. Assimilation of the ingredients is perfect and instantaneous without agitation. No sediment forms and no troublesome clogging of nozzles delays application. No protection for the hands is needed while using. On the contrary, the Compound, like carbolic salve, will heal and cure any sores that may 1 upon them. It is beneficial to the person and to the tree, and destructive only to parasitic pests, for whose extermination it is intended. IftcBain’s Carbolic Compound COMPOUND is composed chiefly of crude carbolic acid and Stockholm pine tar. In combination these ingredients make an ideal insecticide —unmatched and matchless the world over, if the testimony of expert horticulturists of all fruitgrowing countries is to be accepted as a verdict.

This building with its -acred associations to score of Oregon men and women ha now vanished from sight, gone to make room for more modern structures. No longer may those who spent happy, joyous, fruitful days, months, and even years within it walls come lack and behold familiar scenes or perchance meet well-known face . Everything is changed, the very trees that used to afford shelter from the scorching rays of a sumnx-r sun and whose spreading branches were the silent witnesses of incidents now long |ast and forgotten, have been cut down and their place is known no more. The old Corvallis College, for such was the name of this building, was a landmark in it- day. Standing there, the only occupant of a large block ■if land, in a ijuiet part of the residence |� rtion of Corvallis, with what was then considered ample room, it was admirably adapted for the purjsisc for which its founders intended it: an institution for the dissemination of higher education among the youth of Oregon. Corvallis was considered then, as it is now, a very desirable place for the location of such an institution, luting eompamliv.ljr free from all objectionable features, in n health- ful locality, and easy of access l� th by rail as well as by water. The institution was established bv, and stood tinder control of, tlx-Methodist Church, South. Karlv in it history already it scents to have shown a strong vitality and is reported to have done excellent work. Indeed,one nerd only glance at the names of its earliest graduates to find that report amply confirmed. A prominent cause, undoubtedly, of the u| crior material then emanating from this institution was the method of government in vogue at that time. The authorities believed that the ‘‘perfection of government consists in teaching others to govern themselves.” A strict su|X-rvision was exercised over all students, particularly minors, and the citizens were warms) to be on their guard respecting tlxse. Says a rule in one of tlic early catalogues of this institution: “All persons are forbidden to trust a minor without the consent of his or her guardian.” Other regulations, almost as vigorous, positively forbade tlx- festive Sophomore and others of his fellow- tudonts to play at cards or billiards. Ilow the modest, timorous Freshman must have trembled when, upon having attaiix-d the proper age, he was ‘(N |uired to sign the laws before entering the classes.” His guileless, untutored mind probably conjured up visions of tlx- parental rod when hi unpractieod hand falteringly recorded the name of a scion of one of Oregon’s historic families. What k«cn transient agony, what throe of mental distress must have come to the mind of the huxi m, comely lass; what a sad, mournful expression must have crept over her placid features when her eye, examining the pages of the catalogue, suddenly and without premonition encountered the prohibitory law that Young ladies Isarding in the village or vicinity will not ! • permitted to receive the visits of young gentlemen without the written consent « f tlwir parents, under each restriction as the faculty may r -quire.” Tin discipline within the institution wa “mild, hut firm.” The rules were such ns the governing Ixxly believed Iwst calculated to develop (l� e mental ami moral faculties. All student were required to practice puiiclu-alily and diligence. ami to yield prompt and cheerful oW-dience to all tlw regulations of the faculty. While President Kinlev did not “carry a lwavy cane, which he laid upon the hack of every unemployed |ierson Ik 1 11111101 1 t i fuul in his rounds through the institution, vet he never | rniittod any idlers, or vicious characters,or those whose influence was detrimental to the others, to remain within its walls. This, then, was tin institution and such the conditions prevailing within its precincts when the legislature of Oregon offered to locate with it, indeed to designate it, the “ Agricultural College” of Oregon. tircat Pan was dead Paganish la-licfs and practice wen a matter of tin past then and had long ago H l tin succulent meadows and sunny hills •'when rolls tlto Oregon.” With it also had departed the time “when offers were disdained and love denied.” Consequently the generous proposition of our rvprvsrn talives at Salem was gladly and gracefully accepted. Never, probably, lias ail important trust Us n delegated to a more conscientious body of nwn, or an obligation cotudgned to worthier hands. The “ wanl,” with |«arents three thousand miles away, had found shelter and a home, humble it is true, twit a horn • never!helms, which with raodi- t, ferlde ls-ginnings. but careful, honest, judicious management was dot i net I soon to assume statelier proportions ami a larger usefulness. It may Ik inten--ting a well as instructive at least to some of the younger readers of this article to know the exact manner in which the congressional grant given in tru-t to our state k-gislaturc, was conveyed by it to Corva 11 i Col lege. By tlw passage of the following hill, tin legislature, at its session of I86 , designate ! Corvallis College as the Agricultural College of the state: An act to s etirc the location of |Ik lands Donated by Congress to tire Slate for an Agricultural College, and to •- tah|j h such College.

To till all vacancies in tin College by appointment, that may occur in any 8-nntorial district under the provisions of this Act. S«rno '1. That until other provision are made, the Corvallis Collegr Is hereby designated and adopted ns the Agricultural College, in which all students sent under the provisions of this Act shall Ik instructed in all the arts, sciences and other studies, in accordance with the requirements of the Act of Congress making such donation.

Whkmcab, It ap|wars that unless an Agricultural College is provided by law at this session of the l.cgislature, the grant by Congress will Is- lost, therefore this Act shall take effect from the date of its passage.

W. II. Bryan, Prescient pro tern. II. II. Ilmiu.K. Secretary. At a ul cqurnt meeting this Hoard of Trustees ap|M int il a c mmittee to prepare a two year course of study in Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts. “Ko doubt we are making a grv.it experiment and taking a leap in the dark” said the conservative Karl of Derby during the discussion upon the Reform Hill of 1X� � 7 in the English Parliament. Similar remarks, it seems, were heard on the floor of the state hours- in Salem, when Section 2 of the above named Act was under debate. Rut just two years after the passage of the Act the Assembly was ready to make another leap, not now in the dark, however. This leap was made in the form of An Act to Permanently Locate the Agricultural Coll«-go of Oregon. He it enacted by the legislative Assembly of the State of Oregon: SECTION ]. That Corvallis College, in Benton County, is hereby designated and permanently adopted as the Agricultural College oft la? State of Oregon, in which all students sent under the provisions of law shall Is- instructed in accordance with the requirements of the Act of Congress approves! on the 2nd day of July, 1862, granting public lands to the several States and Territories which might provide Colleges for the twnefil of agriculture and mechanic arts, and the Acts amendatory thereof. Section 2. The following (a-rsons, towit: J.C. Awry. I,. K. C.rover and N. II. Cranor, an hereby constituted a B ml f Commissioners to pnq� w a plan for the instruction and education of the students in Mid Agricultural College, and to prepare rules, regulations, and by-laws for the government of the same, all of which shall lie submitted to the legislative Assembly at its next regular session for its adoption or rejection, and in the mean time the said College shall b? governed by and under the provisions of the Act of the Legislative Assembly, approved the 27th day of Octol«cr, ISftS, in relation to said College.

Secno.N 4. Inasmuch as there is no provision of law permanently locating the Agricultural College of Oregon, this Act shall take effect and lc in force from and after its approval by the Governor. Arrmoved, October 21, A. I). 1X70. At a special mu-ting of the B � ard of Trustors of Corvallis ColK-g« , eight days after, we find on the minutes the following resolutions: Whereas, The State of Oregon, through its representatives, offers to |n-rmnnently locate the Agricultural College with Corvallis College. Is it therefore Peso I red by the Ho.ml of Trustees of Corvallis College. That said Board does accept the provisions of said Act of the Ixgislntivc AsM-mhly aforesaid, and they do agree to l� e bound by the same. Kcsolvcfl. That the Secretary of the Board is hereby directed forthwith to forward to the Secretary of the State of Oregon a copy of the foregoing preamble and resolutions. R. S. Straiian, I resident. Attest: B. R. Biddle, Secretary. Tins document, we find, was filed in the otlice of the Secretary of State, November 2, 1X70. A committee of the Board aided l� y the faculty, consisting of President W. A. Finley, A. M., I . I .; l’rof. Joseph Kraery, A. M., Mathematics; Prof. II. McN. Finley. A. B.. Intermediate Hrp’t., immediately e t to work to plan a courts of study that should conform to the new conditions. l t it be understood that the task was not w ithout its difficulties. This VMt new field. There wen then practically no guide |« ts. not even a trail blazed that might direct tin searchers for information on their way. Tin first attempts consequently wen? necessarily ofa tentative nature,ami if tlwrourw of study, a reproduced below, appear unusual, « |illy arranged, or incomplete, it niuia l«e born in mind lluit it takes time and experience, and a great deal � f Itotli at that, to develop anything of real |K'rmancnt value. The course of atudy adopted i a follow : Fnwr Vkak -First Term.—Chemical Physic , Inorganic Chemistry, Structural and Physiological Botany, First five book of Davies Legendre. Second Term. Organic Chemistry, How Crop Grow. English Language. Third Term. Qualitative Analysis, Detection ol the Alkalies, Alkaline Earths, Systematic Botany, Excursions and Collections, English Language.

General Principles of Geology, Vegetable Economy, How Plant Feed, Topographical Drawing. Animal Physiology. Third term.—Geology of Oregon, Vegetable Economy, Entomology. How a faculty of three, one of them sltouldcring executive burdens, managed to distribute this course between themselves and carry it along with their other work i somewhat hard to understand. One delightful feature, agreeable alike to student and professor, must have been the ''excursions and collections” of the Spring term. With what ineffable longing the students must have looked forward to the days of the week when they were | ermitlvd to leave the narrow confines of their dingy room and quafT in copious draughts the balmy air a they roamed through the woods and meadows in soareli of flowers, bird or beetle. Have ever sound valid reasons I wen advance-1 why this particular feature disup| -ared from the modern college curriculum? What a boon it would l e to the pale-faced, anaemic youth with stooping shoulders and hollow chest! What a “lesson not in books he might learn from the white wonder of the apple blossom, the fragrance of the new-mown hay, tlw billowing of the grain under the wind of June, accompanied by a chorus of hallelujah from the bird and insect world! The year 1 72 shows a change in theodiccnf the Executive. President Finley retires and his place is taken by one who was to guide the affairs of the institution for two decades: Years of incessant labor, unremitting real and momentous change . Associated with Pres. Arnold,thenew incumbent, who in addition to his executive work taught Physics und Languages were Rev. J. Emery in the chair of Mathemati -s; Prof. II. McN. Finley, principal of tin- prc|«aratory department; Mi-s Clara A. Watt, teacher of French and head of tin- primary department, and Mrs. Alice X � bit. head of the depart- ment of music. This staff of. assistants was increased or changed as necessity dictated. Not until about the year 1 S2, however, do we find the authorities emphasising the peculiar character of the institution by the election of a train'd agriculturist to the chair of agriculture and chemistry; and while the study of practical agriculture was enforced upon students by the regents ever since April 12, 1 71 and � small farm, where practical experiments might liecar-ried on, bad lieen purchased by them, it was not till now that proper and needful attention could la-given this important branch. The farm above mentioned consisted of thirlv-fivc acres. It constitutes the present campus and doe not appear to Is as valuable a the original purchasers suppovd it to lie, much of the portion east of the open ditch being low and unproductive. The price |inid was ♦1500. There was then on this tract of laud a neat dwelling house, (then standing on the site of the present administration building and now used by Prof. Cootc), a rather ancient looking barn and a good orchard. There were then twenty-srvon young men taking the agricultural course among whom was the present chief legal advisor of a very large corjswalion. It must have been interesting to see him uncover the brown earth and watch tlw early struggle of the grass to lie green. Nothing appears to have occurred to mar the pleasant relations then existing in all departments, and this institution moved along pleasantly in the even tenor of its way. Its annals during that period are brief. In 1885 the church voluntarily relinquished its claim on the funds of the Agricultural College, and the state,resuming control, propo- d to relocate the college at Corvallis on condition that a brick building, to cost not less than 20.000. Is- erected on the Agricultural College farm to serve as a College building. The condition was complied with, the citizens of Benton county rising nobly to tin- task. August 17. 1887 witnessed the laying of the corner stone, and a year later the board of regents, as then constituted, were able to take charge of the building. A new faculty was immediately apptinted, at its head the veteran educator President B. I- Arnold who la-Iwred assiduously and ably until the very day of hi taking off. Jan..T), 1882. anunexspectcdand untimely end. During thefouryearsof bis incumbency the attendance had more than doubled, increasing from ninety-nine in 1888 to two hundred and eight in I8S� 2.

Since it establishment three decade ago, the Oregon Thin Edition. Agricultural College ha steadily increased in sire and eflicloney. From it humble early homo in the old college building, frith it single block of land and h.indfol of student , it ha ex|winded until it ha reached it prevent large proj� ortioii� with an attendance of over four hundn-d ami prospects f«� r an even larger number next year. The Oregon Agricultural College i now much larger and Itctter equipped than any other school in Oregon. Hut while thi? i true, the fact i not generally known throughout the tate. for it ha l xn the policy of the xchool to advertise but little, relying upon it intrinsic merit to bring it student . The desire to partially supply thi deficiency l.y furnishing some illustrated information concerning the institution, together with the di- ire to furnish the student and friend of the O. A. C. with a suitahlc souvenir, lia prompted the puldication of this number. In doing this we feel that we are tilling a long felt want, for with hut one exception, nothing of the kind ha ever been attempted Iwforc. We regret that this number doe not represent the college more fully, hut i true understanding of the nature of the school and the seo|ie of its work can I - had only by a personal inspection of the school itself. This edition, like the regular issue of the B.mcomitku. is published by the editorial staff and not l� v the college, nor were the college authorities instrumental in bringing about its publication. However, valuable assistance was received from them. We were allowed the U-- of the college printing office, were supplied with the cuts of the different buildings, and the Board of Regent agreed to take quite a nntn-l r of cx.pie for advertising purposes. But aside from this aid. the affair was entirely in the hands of the staff, and for this reason we Ulicve the souvenir entitled to greater leniency than it would Is- were it published under the auspices of the college. In conclusion we wish to thank all tlmar, hoth great and small, who have aided us in our enterprise. f MM f Our College Cadets — I� W. W.

Tin nations ol Kur� |«- are liovering around jsxir old disintegrating China, each ready to fight for it� share of tin- fragments. (leneral Sherman's famous remark as to the nature of war is true in every particular, hut until man has lost most of his human characteristics ami taken on more of the Divine a distant time war will exist ns a necessity. Our Country is so situated that hut twocountries, Knglaml ami Mexico, can attack her by land. The latter is too weak to lie considered an enemy. The former, with all her out lying colonies scattered over the world, will never again dare to attempt an invasion of American soil. Tin- continental nation of Kurope are the only great |� .wcrs with which we art- likely to come to blows and wc a re protected from their great armies hv three thousand miles of ocean. Ours i a land of freemen, ever ready to do tattle for their country and their country's flag. With our great number of intelligent men in all the walks of life, we med no large standing army for our protection. Wo dc-(icitd for home defence upon the American Volunteer, who can stand against the strongest army a foreign foe could land uj� m our shores. The Civil War allowed that our civilian soldiers wen- tin- liest fighters that tlie world could produce. Its first month also sliowid that wc wore woefully lacking in competent ofiicers to eommaud them. Tlie officers f the n-gular army wre naturally advanced to till the higher positions and consequently Diet of the company, Inttalion, mid even regimental commands were given-to men who had not the least idea of leading and caring for men. Outside of West I’oint there wa practically no place where young men were given practical military training. It has bevn said that a- a n-sult of this, whole regiments went into tattle Ini by colonels wIh li l not know as much about military principles as their inmo st corporals should. This difficulty was of course soon overcome hv natural selection in the fierce sclioo| of war, hut not until many thousands of brave ami patriotic lives hail Iwcn sacrificed on the altar of military ignorance. Tin- congress which shared with I'nwident I.incoln the cares and responsibilities of the great struggle early saw this terrible shortage of coiii|s'tent officers among the volunteers and resolved that in future wars this evil should not reappear. In ISfi'J a bill pas— 1 the national congress which established tlie col-leg'- of Agriculture and Mechanic Art , and this bill provided that each of tliese colleges should giv - instruction in military science and tactic . Nearly forty years have gone by since the | as ag«' of the famous “ Morrill Art,” ). A. C. Cndet Hnttfilion. and now in ttonrly every city and village of the nation may he found graduate of these schools, who stand ready at n moment’s notice to form the nucleus of a mighty volunteer army. Upon tlie National Guardsand tlw graduates of these government military schools k |wnd the safety of the nation. Military instruction was begun at the Oregon Agricultural College in 1872, while it was yet connected with the old Corvallis College. Since that time the importance of the military department has steadily grown a the institution has developed and In-come more widely known. At the outbreak of the late Spanish war forty-eight of the cadet and graduates of thecollcgc shouldervd the rifle to fight for the flag, and the then commandant, Capt. Wood bridge tieary, and three of the students gave up tle-ir live on their country’s altar. I hiring the | a t year the military work of the school has materially improved, and i- receiving much praise from the puldic. Since its organization in 1872 tlw Military Department h is Us n under tlie following named commandants: 1872-73, Captain Boswell, I'. S. A, (Ketinsl); 1874 87, President Arnold; 1888 91, Professor J. I . 1-etcher; 1891 92, Captain Warren U. S. A. (Retired); 1893 94. Professor J. I). Iwtch-cr; 1894-98,1st. Lieut. K. Dcntlcr, I'. S. A.; 1898, 1st. Lieut. Woodbridge (ieary. I'. S. A.; 1898-99, Cadet Major, K. J. l-ca; 1899 , Major Frank K. Edwards. l-ast year the work of the dc|urtincnt was very much retarded owing to the destruction by fire of the building u ed as an armory and arsenal. All of the equipment of the military department was destroyed in that conflagration, and the work had to Is- governed accordingly. But these dillicul-tics were met by Commandant Lea, and with the advent of spring a supply of one hundred gun was received from tlx- War Department and thecadtts were instructed in the manual of arms. Owing to the rapid growth of the military department the need of a larger floor |«uee than was to l e had in the old building, was felt, and at the time of the fire a model armory was being constructed. The main floor nl this building contains the drill room, 70x100 ft., two small arsenals, and suspended twelve fret aU vc the floor is a large gallery extending entirely around the building. The lower floor contains the Commandant’s office, a store room for ammunition and supplies, two physical culture rooms, fur-ni‘h«d with baths and dressing rooms, ami a fowling alley. Tlw military department as it now exists is organized into a battalion of three companies, a military Innd of eighteen pieces, ami a signal corps. Thedcparlmont is supplied with two-hundred Springfield rifles, signal cor;-ap|aratus, -words for I ho officers, ami a field piece, kindly loaned by Itoakc ami S n� of Oregon City. All cadets arc nquin-d to drill three hours |wr week. The officers ami non-commissioned officers are given instruction in military science and tactics in the battalion and company schools, thus enabling them to take charge of their commands. During the winter months the drill is conducted in the armory, and consists of squad drill, instruction in the manual of arms, company drill, ami calisthenics with arms. During the Spring months the large drill ground U|s.n the campus is used and tlw instruction consists of comisiny, and battalion drill in extended order and luattle tactics. The cadets arc also instructed ami drilled in the dutie of sentinels. The work is not intended so much for exhibition as to give practical instruction in the duties off soldiers and officers. Kadi male student attending the agricultural colleges of tlw United 8tatc-s is allowed fifty rounds of ammunition during hi college course. In conformance with these provisions tlw Junior and Senior cadets during tlw latter part of the year were given practice at ranges varying from one hundred to five hundred yards. During tlw first part of June tlw l-attalion was given a three day encampment, in order to give tlw cadets practical instruction in field work and camp duty. The work consisted of regular drill and fatigue and guard duties, also target practice and the various other dutie of such an -x|sdi-tion. The names of the three cadets, who graduate with the highest honors in the military department, are annually sent to the Adjutant General of the Army and placed on record by him. Never in the history of tlw Oregon Agricultural College has this department covered a much work a during the past year. Tlw work approximated as near as possible, that of the regular army. Tlw tendency of retired officers is to ding to old ways and methods. But Major Edwards, late from the Volunteer Army in tin- I'hillipim- Islands, brought with him modern methods, and the coming year will witness a greater growth than ever fo-forc in the history of the military department of this institution. %%%%% VW% WVWW Unpt.

There arc now six such organization in the O. A. C.; three conducted by young women, the Feronian. Pierian and Boms! ; and three hv young men, the Amicitia, Ptiilndcl|i)iinn and Jeffersonian. The young laities societies have their memliOTship limitiil to twenty-five, while those of the young men have thirtv as the maximum numlier. Hence in all six societies, provided each has a full incmlxTship, there can he only aliotit one hundred and seventy live students out of a student body of four hundred. This alone shows the place occupied by tin- literary organisation of the college, and also what it means to Is a member of one of these organisations. It means that the society memlwr on entering the Freshman class, possessed marked abilities along some certain line, nindc good recitation in classes, conducted himself or herself in a proper manner, and gained the resjiect of Faculty and up|M-r claw-men, otherwise the twenty-five or thirty Freshmen who annually are made member of the literary societies, would never have lieeome prominent enough to lie distinguished from the other one hundred and fifty or more of their class. Thus when the very Iwst is taken from each class a- it enters college, and enrolled in the literary societies, is it any wonder that they have attained the place now accorded to them in college life. Koch society tries to secure for itself the very Iwst of the new students, hut this only tend to make the united work of all the societies better, for more rivalry is created between tliem. Each society is also anxious for its nvcmlvr t win in any contest which takes place in the school, to have the prominent place in every entertainment, to Is the leaders of all social functions, and winners in all athletic sport as well as good students and representative of their classes. ‘ Com|ictilion is the spire of life” and so great is the competitive spirit which exists between tin- societies, that the very Iwst talent is brought Iw-forv the public. Ever since the organization of these societies in 1895, they have been one of the vital forces in the advancement of the literary and social culture in the college. Nearly every enterprise is under the direction of oncor more of them, nr p-rhaps conducted by representatives from each society. Tlie Banomktxr is run on this latter plan. Each society elect two rr pro-cut • tiv,Sand thr-e twelve |M'rsonseonstitute the editorial staff. From this num-Iwr the Editor-in-Chicf is elected, who then appoint the Associate Editor, and also assigns the other representatives to their respective place on the staff. The Bus.ness Manager i elected by the staff and may or may not be one of tl� e representative . The local oratorical contest is also under the management of the literary societies. Each society has its own contest and then tin- winners from the different societies eorn|«rte in the regular local contest, the winner of which represents the . A. C. in the state oratorical contest. Miss Mamie Wintiiford. of the Pierian society, represented the school in the state content which was held this year at Monmouth. The college oratorical association is made up of representatives from the socictire. Lost year the societies felt that more should lw done along the line of ’deflating than was done in the regular society work, and a delating union was formed. It was rather late in the year however Iwfore this movement was started, so that only two delates took place. The fir� t was I art ween the Fcronian ami Amicitia wcirliw, those representing tin- former being Misses IXtr lhslgin and Ciran Well , an«l tin- latter Mnrn K. B. Aldrirh and Ivan Brown. Tin- delate was won bv tin- Amicitian . Tlu- next contest to take place vat lietw«en the Sounds and Jeffers -iiian - cictit-. , repre-- ntttl respectively by Misses Itlanelie Holdt-n and Inez Fuller and Messrs W. W. (.■arrow and Harry Heard. This debate was won by the S-irosis. Tiii« year these delate were continued, the first one ! ciiig between tin- Pierian and an l Philadelphians on the Ssouth African question. The Pierian young ladies, Misstw Minnie Smith and IVarl Allen. tri« l to justify England’ part in th- war, but were defeated by tin- Philadelphian representative , Messrs Charles Horner and Thomas Hilyen. Thi delate wa followed by one I --tween the two victorious societies of l ist year. The young nn-n of the Ami-citi.i, Messrs J. H. (iallagher and Ivan Hrown, argurd that “Trusts should l«- prohibited by legislation,” but were defeated by the young ladies „f the Sorosi . Misses Ivy Burton and Kdna Irvine. The good to Is-derived from these debates is not to be over estimated, and if in the future the O. A. ('. should ever meet any other college or university on the debating platform, the effects of these joint society debate will Is- apparent. But “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” and the societies realize thi . In fact they «em to Is- the only ones who feel tin- force of tls-proverb enough to act out its teachings, for aside from a few class parties and the Battalion Balls, all the social functions of the college are brought about by them. Kvcry society gives from three to six fiartie during the year, beside entertaining the other societies ami giving various public entertainment . The young ladies’ societies all meet on Friday evening at -1:30. Two of these, the Feronian and Pierian meet in the college building. The third, the Sirosis, maintain a (Tub HoU r, and it is in the parlor of S� r� - sis Hall that iIh-v hold their meetings. The young men societies meet in various rooms of the College building on Saturday evening at 7:30. It is to lie regretted that in all the buildings on the campus, tlierc arc no rooms which can l«- used exclusively by tin- societies. Knowing the part played by tin- literary societies in college life, it should Is- tin- aim and ambition of every student who enters school to become a member of some on - of them. Il - should inform himself as best he can regarding the various one ami when once he has decided which lie prefers he should outer no other. Above all things he should never apply for memlier-sliip in any of the societies, but instead, wait for others to recognize bis merits first. If h - really desire to Income a society member, he should fit himself to Is- chosen from among a nuinls-r of others by ls-ing studious, gentlemanly and by striving to do well what lie doe . It sometimes happens that at the first of the year all eligible person is asked to join several societies, in which cii - In- must eh «� e one from among them. Often, after he lias Is-cn in scliool a few months, he so- he has not made a correct choice. “ Birds of a feather flock together,” and as soon as a student discover his mistake he should immediately withdraw, no matter if he never In-come a member of the sock-tv he feel is just suited to him. No | erson can do good work of any kind unless In- put hi whole soul into it, and this is inipowiblc if he is not in sym|athy with the cause. Every student should think that hi society is the Issst ami only one for him,(which lie can do without thinking the others are entirely devoid of merit) and he who belongs to one, but think anotlicr superior in every way to his own, looses the re |wct of hi fellow member . On the oilier hand if he pretends to think all thi of hi society but doc not, lie loses bis own -elf resjiect, which i equally a lad. “To thine own self lie true and it must follow, as the night, the day, thou can t not then Is- false to any man.” ....

CAUTHORN HALL a mu ■ • III Al.F a hundred young men in lhr Oregon Agricultural College I have clubbed together with the view of acquiring the art of I self-government, which is a important a a college training, fl The following will give some idea of their methods and their success: Caul horn Hall, commonly known as the Young Men’s Hall, was built in 1891, for fl e u e of young men desiring to lire economically while attending school and at the same time enjoy the privileges anti refining influence of a cultured home. It was named in honor of Senator Thomas Cauthorn, a friend and Iwncfactqr of the College. The building, which is conveniently located, is comfortable, and large enough to accommodate one hundred students, and it is well supplied with water, steam heat and electric lights. The dining room, kitchen, ami club rooms are commodious, pleasant and well furnished. The students' rooms are uniformly ten feet wide and respectively, fourteen, seventeen and twenty feet long.

Physical development in now considered as im'|« rtant as mental development; ami year by year it is liecoming more prominent in our college curriculum . Within tin last few years then have been several contests liotll III foot-hall and in field s|� ris, between the I’aeilir Coast States; and undouMcdlv before long a league will lie organized to conduct interstate collegiate games. This will do much toward advancing -till further the spirit of manly prowess and raising the standanl f our students. In Oregon, la-t season, almost every educational institution of note bad a foot-lull team ami numerous contests were held between college . As in foot-ball, so in the general field s|M rt . Kaeh institution sends its representative to an intercollegiate field meet held in June and then-in the interests of their respective colleges they corn|K-te for the championship Cup of the State. Two years ago, the winners of places in this meet faced the U- t men from Washington in an inter-state meet at Portland. In this contest the Oregon men won the greater nuniU-r of |� int and se-curisl some fine medals. The Oregon Agricultural College has always been in the front rank in athletic matters. It was one of the first educational institutions in Oregon to organize a foot-kill team and it has never failed to have one each year sines . In tin-fall of 1883, the first game of foot-lull was played on our campus by an organized team. It was eomj .ij s| of hardy farmer boys and they effectively showed their prowess when limsl up against other teams f the State. Altogether they played five match gnnu-s. winning ill hut one ........ and mode a total of 140 |toinl against I . The scores in the game were as follows: Allmny 0,0. A. C. 64; Monmouth 22, 0. A. C. 30; Monmouth 0, O. A. C. 28; Multnomah Juniors0, O. A. C. 6; Portland University26,0. A. C. 12.

In 1C only two games wen played,—one with Forest Grove, a draw neither side scoring, and one with Salem in which wc were beaten 3G to 6. Also during the season of 96, only two games were played, one a practice game with Kugone which resulted in a score of 2 to 0 in their favor and a match gamewiththesameteam. played upon our field, in which the score was U. � f 0. 12, ( .

It was played Upon our campus and tin rcstilting score was.O. A. C. 16, Washington I niversity 0. During the entire year, not a team scored against U� upon our own field. The only -coring against us was in Kugene where the U. of O. l«oy made 8 points against our 2 5. On account of the lateness of the season, a game offered the team by Stanford University was not aooepnd. During the fall of US. O. A.

Ever since our girls commenced playing t ball three yean ago, they liave hern the champion of the State. The first year they played they defeated the champion team of Oregon, the Chemawa girl , in Salem by a noire of 13 to 11. The following year, Chemawa, again considered the l est team in the State, wa defeated in our armory by a score of 2? to . This year, tlx- third year of the championship, four game have been played and won, a follow : Albany 2, O. A. C. ti; Monmouth 2. O. A. C. 22; Chemawa f. 0. A. C. 31; Y. M.C. A. of Portland 5, O. A.

Last year wa the first in which indoor haw-ball wa played by our students. It is a good game ami is steadily growing in favor with all the colleges of the State. Only one game was played, that being with Albany college. Although the opponents were old players while our men were novices, the visiting team was defeated by a score of U to ll. The present year wait liettrr than the Four pniw were played. The Albany College, the ,-ccond Y. M. C. A. o( Salem and tin- I’, of 0. team- were defeated by our boy in succession. The fourth game wa played with the first Y. M. C. A. team of Salem and we were beaten by two points. I low ever a the Salem team had previously been beaten by Albany and Al-bany in turn by O. A. C.. tlte defeat a- counterbalanced. A return game war arranged with this team; but unfortunately for us, other college matter intervened and it wa not played. In June, I89t5, the O. A. C. first sent contestants to Salem to compete in the Intercollegiate Field Meet of Oregon. Although the number of our men was then small, their work wa good and they scored 21 |� oint for our college against U. of O’ . 9|. Salem's 21 1 U’a I and .Monmouth ' 0. The next year, ’97, our team at Field Day wascasily victorious,securing 20 medal out of a possible 42. and scoring } oints. The team of 1898 lost it best men at the out break of the war and therefore was 1-eaten by Kugcnc although we secured second place. Last year, 0.
