v.a '3o9 EDICATION To Margaret Comstock Snell, in deep appreciation of her life spent in the service of others, to whom she is an ideal and an inspiration, and of her untiring efforts towards the up-building of our Alma Mater, we, the class of nineteen hundred and nine do lovingly dedicate this volume. Margaret Comstock Snell MARGARET COMSTOCK SNELL IT HAS been said that they have achieved success who have lived well, laughed often, and loved much; who have gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children; who have filled their niche and accomplished their tasks; who have left the world better than they found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem or a rescued soul; who have never lacked appreciation of Earth’s beauty nor failed to express it; who have always looked for the best in others and given the best they have; whose life has been an inspiration; whose money a benediction. Measured by this standard, Miss Snell’s life is a successful one. Born in New York, of Quaker parentage, she spent her early years in that section of the country. The family moved to Iowa, where she attended Center Grove Academy, later becoming a student at Grinnell College. After teaching school three years in Iowa City, she moved to California, where, with her sisters, she established Snell Seminary which is now located in Berkeley. Deciding to pursue the study of medicine, she left her work in the Seminary and entered the Boston University Medical School, from which she was graduated with the degree M. D. She entered upon the practice of her profession but became imbued with the idea that the higher and nobler functions of medical lore was to teach people how to keep well rather than to cure disease. She accepted the call, in 1889, to the chair of Domestic Science and Hygiene in the Oregon Agricultural College. During these nineteen years she has done a much-needed work in bringing to public notice by her teaching and her lecturing the fact that much of the sickness and general ill-health are due to improperly prepared foods, ill ventilated rooms, and unsanitary conditions of dwelling houses and their environments. To all with whom she has come in contact, she has demonstrated the joy of service and the liberation of love into work. Her ideal has been to carry culture and education into all phases of industrial work, to dignify and ennoble labor. She believes with Emerson that the acquisition of some form of manual skill and the practice of some form of manual labor are essential elements of culture. A woman of fine culture, high ideals and a winning personality, she has left a lasting impression on the minds of hundreds of young women who have sat at her feet. Who can estimate her influence? Her recent resignation has caused deep regret, but she will carry with her through coming years, the best wishes of her colleagues and of the students of the A. 0. C. The Cadet Regiment PROEM E PRESENT THE ORANGE to the students, friends, and admirers of O. A. C. with the hope that our consistent efforts have at least produced some rare fruit that will be pleasing to the literary or artistic palates of our readers. The incessant toil and expenditure of energy necessary for the production of this volume has been more of a delightful pleasure than a task. We believe with Carlyle that “a book which comes from the heart will contrive to reach other hearts,” and believing this, we have striven unceasingly to put the best that is in us between the orange covers of this book. All the choicest ambitions of our hearts have been suppressed and held back that we might find time to devote to The Orange. It has been our common concern; the one fixed ideal of the Junior Class. Whether or not it has come up to our ideal, we will leave to your kind and lenient consideration, dear reader. If, within its pages, you find something truly worthy of commendation, some true work of art, some real gem of literature; if it brings back to you some happy scene, some pleasant memory; if the heart of some wayward Alumnus is made to beat again for 0. A. C.; if again the true spirit of 0. A. C. is made to surge through your veins, we shall feel that we have not labored in vain. THE EVOLUTION OF 0. A. C. HE DISCUSSION of the evolution of the Oregon Agricultural College harks back to the sixties, the beginning of an era of prosperity and industrial development in the history of Oregon. “A homeseeking” class of people, rather than “gold-seeking,” were pouring into the state. The tendency of the time leaned toward agricultural development and intellectual advancement. To this disposition of the period 0. A. C. owes its existence and present location, in part. In 1862, Congress appropriated 90,000 acres of land for the support of an Agricultural College, with the condition that the college be in operation by 1867. Under this act a denominational school of the M. E. Church (South), already existing at Corvallis, was charged with the management of the Agricultural College. By so doing, the land grant was secured, and the expense of erecting a new building was saved. In this simple old structure, the pioneer students of O. A. C. were introduced into the mysteries of scientific farming. In 1867, the institution boasted of twenty-two students. From this embryonic stage the growth of the Agricultural College has been phenomenal. A decisive point in its development was the Old College of M. E. Church (South) year 1887, when the benevolent citizens of Benton County contributed the “Ad” building and thirty-five acres of land, in order to secure the permanent location of the college at Corvallis. Who, then, could have presaged that the one thousand O. A. C. students of the present, who at that time were not yet born or were occupants of the cradle, would have the opportunity of such a broad field of education as this college now affords? Yet, it has come to pass. The proud old “Ad” building now has fourteen descendants. The scanty thirty-five acres of land has grown to two hundred and twenty-four. From the four courses then taught, namely, Agriculture, Mechanic Arts, Household Science, and General Science, have developed nine thoroughly equipped departments which offer scientific training in as many branches of industry, as well as an education of culture and refinement. It might be interesting to know that but ten years ago only a limited number of students could take advantage of gratuitous instruction at 0. A. C. These came one from each senatorial and representative district of the state. They well nigh earned their tuition, for in addition to military drill they were required to get out with hoes and shovels and work the College farm. Parallel with the growth of the College is the growth of student enterprises. In the eighties, there were two literary societies, which seem to have expired from lack of interest in things literary. In 1891 the Hesperian Society, consisting of eighty wide-awake members, put electric lights in the assembly room of the “Ad” building. This society gave place to others of more limited membership. The Amicitian and Sorosis Societies were organized in 1895. Others followed as the Student Body increased in number. Now there are ten active literary societies, all of which are doing commendable work along literary lines. In addition to societies, numerous clubs have been formed by the students of the various courses. These afford an opportunity for the students to meet and discuss some of the practical problems relating to their chosen profession. Products of student activity since the year 1895, are the Barometer (formerly a monthly, now a weekly, paper), and the Athletic Association, embracing football, track, basketball, and baseball. The latter is governed by the Constitution of the Student Body, adopted in 1906. The marked growth of the College is due in a great measure to the active ability of the men who have stood at her helm. With such men as the scholarly Arnold, the genial Bloss, the cordial, sturdy Miller, the firm, conservative Catch as President, the institution has not wanted for champions. President Kerr, who has presided for the last year, is plainly a leader of men, and a man who “does things.” With such an able man in the executive chair, the near future of O. A. C. promises to be a bright one. Waldo Hall and the Mechanical Arts buildings are completed and in use. The erection of a new Armory and other buildings are assured within the next year. The standard of the College has been raised one year, placing it on a par with that of any university or college in the Northwest. Several new courses are promised which will open up a broad field for specialization. It is only giving due credit to dear old 0. A. C. to say, that she is accomplishing a noble work. She has fitted hundreds of Oregon’s citizens for industrial and cultured pursuits, and thereby contributed to the general welfare of the state. Oregon Agricultural College is without doubt a strong factor in a movement toward an enlightened age. O. A. C. Campus and Buildings 1908 ALUMNI HE STANDING of an educational institution is best measured by the character of its Alumni. When so measured, the Oregon Agricultural College may well be proud of her work, for her Alumni occupy positions of trust and honor throughout the United States and its possessions. Many are engaged in manufacturing, in scientific farming; some hold commissions in the army in the Philippine service, and others are taking up advanced work in the large technical schools of the East. In all walks of life they are found ever in the van of industrial activity and progress. They are active in all their enterprises and become prosperous, contented citizens, of whom their state and Alma Mater are justly proud. OFFICERS OF THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION. Pres, Mrs. C. M.

THE VOICE OF THE SENIOR H, DEAR ALMA MATER, My salt tears just spatter When I think of leaving thee. No more Tommy’s waddle As I ’gin to twaddle Will cause wicked Freshmen such glee. Long suff’ring Class fountain, Oh, Mary’s rough mountain, I’ll see thee hereafter no more. I’m going forever, Perhaps I may never Return to your halls as of yo� e.

REMINISCENCES OF JUNIOR APOSTLES . N THE beginning was the “Rook,” and the “Rook was of true I metal, and he grew and did flourish. They came from the teeming sand hills of the East, with their long hair and unseemly noises; from the fertile valleys and mountains of the South, and from all the country round about. Out of the “Rook” did come the “Soph,” and he was a man of sporty clothes and daring adventures. And it was brought to pass that in the third year the famous Junior Class did come forth and make its glory known to a benighted and applausive people. And it came to pass, that in the first year, a mighty man of wisdom named Cale was chosen for our King. And the “Sophs” did anoint his tongue with Castor oil and bathe his skin in H20. And because of this, it came to pass that a mighty battle was fought on the campus, and great was the carnage thereof. And again it came to pass, that when we were feasting and making merry, the “Sophs” did congregate around the building and did pour stench in through the windows. And because of this the “Sophs” were made to sign a pledge by the great Peace Maker. And in the second year, the Princess of Basketball did don the Royal robes, and her reign was prosperous and marked by phenomenal feats. And in the Spring, when the maids and youths were wont to twaddle, a great athletic event was held. And before a multitude of people the Sophomores did worst all comers and bear away the laurels of victory. And again it came to pass, that when we returned for the third time, the multitudes did do homage to us and call us “Juniors.” Our works waxed great and our fame did spread through all the country round about. We did invite the worthy Seniors to feast with us and set before them the fruits of the land as a harbinger of good will. And it came to pass that there were maidens among us who were skilled in basketball, and they did meet the Senior maidens in deadly combat. And because of their great love the contest waxed strong, and the Senior maids were put to rout. In the future, as in the past, the naughty-nines shall perform great feats. Our shield is our reputation; our coat of arms is a record of our past; and our sword is the tact and wisdom with which we are endowed. •Kid” INKZ R.

A Junior Sextet MR. WIGGLEMORE VISITS HIS SON SAM AT COLLEGE ALL, MANDY, I’ve seen our boy Sam, and been an eye witness to sum of the things he does up there to Kollege. Guess I jist as well tell you the whole story, while you air a squeezing that cheese, and then you will know as much about it as I dew. “I arrose about half past leven and started rite out to find the Kollege. I seen some big gray buildings settin up on a hill and lowed as how that must be it. When I got up in the front yard there was a regular towne band thar and some fellers standin out by themselves a shoutin at the rest of em. Pretty soon a little feller with a brass horn under his arm came out and blowed a little tune. I was watchin him and the first thing I knowed, I looked up and that whole army was comin right at me full tilt. I thot sure my time had come, but I dodged one crowd and run rite into the arms of the General of another bunch. He hollered “Take time,” or somethin like that, and the soldiers all stopped so as to get a better aim at me, I guess. But I didn’t low to be any target fer there accommodation so I dived thru a open winder rite into the dairy department, and fell over a churn, and landed with my head in a box of buttermilk. “Pretty soon Sam he came round to where I was, said he saw me before, but the Commodore wouldn’t let him come round an see me. He took me round to where he was stayin and treated me real nice. I always said that Sam was a good boy, Mandy. “The next morning when I woke up there seemed to be a kind of disturbed atmosphere aroun towne. It was the day the Juneyours and Seenyours were goin to play football, so Sam told me the nite before. I started up toard the Kollege to see what had become of Sam. Pretty soon I seen him up on top of the ‘biggest buildin’ with a lot more fellers. They were a hollerin and takin on over a big flag that was floating from the flag poal overhead. The flag had sum big white figers on it, I guess they ment it for 90 somthin, but they had the ought befor the nine. There was a bunch of fellers there that seemed terrible excited about the proceeding but didn’t seem to know what to do bout it. “About that time things begin to happen in a new direction. There was a big iron tower about a hundred feet high, with a big round box on top of it, just behind the big buildin, and there was sum fellers up there tryin to take a pictshure with a Kamery. The Seenyour fellows came runnin down to head off the rest, and keep em from gettin a pictshure of theyr flag. They had a meetin rite at the bottom of the ladder. One feller started to climb up and another one grabed him by the leg an hung on till he pulled his shoe off and nearly tore his trouserloons off of him. An then they commenced fighten all at once. Sammy was rite into the middle of it all. One big feller grabed him by the shirt and tore his pocket off, and one of them commenced poundin him. That was more than I was goin to stand so I sailed in and caught the feller by the nap of the neck and commenced leading him out alone to instruct him privately, but some of his friends begin to git mad and the '09 Flag on “Ad” Building furst thing I knowed sum body was a walkin up an down my spinal colum. Another feller was trying to jab my head in an old gofer hole, and the rest was distributed round on various parts of my body. My ire begin to rise about that time, and I rose rite up with the whole Seeyour class on my back and commenced handin out the best I had to my immediate naybors. Pretty soon I found myself standin there all alone a fightin by myself. It seemed like everybody quit fightin about as quick as tney commenced. Sammy came round to where I was and asked how I was feelin, and I said I was feelin for them nearest me, and furthermore that if any of his friends wanted to experience any new sensations to just send em around and I would show em how we dew things over at Skunk Holler. “We went home by the short cut and fixed up the best we could fer dinner. I had to borry one of Sammy’s coats because mine was all covered with blood from fightin them Seenyours. “In the afternoon we went to the football game between the Juneyours and Seenyours. I wasent feelin any too chirk, but Sammy got me a seat in the grandstand and I enjoyed myself rite smart. The Juneyours was sittin rite across the field on some stair steps that was a settin there, and of all the colors and yellin and singin I ever heard. It was worse than a election day in Skunk Holler. Pretty soon the teams came on the field and the noise made me think of fcedin the hogs after I had furgot to feed them fur a week. “Wall it was the worst mix up I ever seen. They would back off and a feller would holler out some figers and then they would take a run and jump at each other until you would hev thot they wus crazy. After while a long crany feller got the ball and started wadin thru. He didn’t seem to hev much trouble fer nobody had good enough grip to close on him. He just waded thru like a razor backed hog huntin Ruty Beggars. Pretty soon he got the ball over the line and won the game. “Sammy was rite there all the time and they were a yellin for him about half the time. “After the game we went home and I fixed Sammy up the best I could with linement and bandages. He was feelin pretty good by Monday and so I started home. “I tell you, Sammy is going to be a pride to the family, Mandy. He has already won a medal in a foot race and the way he tossed them fellers round in the game would a made you feal proud. Thanks, I’ll take a drink of that buttermilk if you hev a glass handy.” Jiniior Team and Rooters A BIT O’ SOPH’—IST’RY 0 ALL chemists it was an astounding discovery. Through the peaceful atmosphere of the Oregon Agricultural College a green precipitate had settled down upon the tranquil campus. What was it? It was the Class of 1910. A few doses of “Dips de Fountaine” and “Ducks a la Willamette” and the green precipitate was dissolved, being absorbed by the already existing solution of college life. Probably two things are most prominent in the eyes of each class: the Organization, for here is formed a body which must act as a unit for four years; the first party, for here, gathered in social function, ties of friendship are formed, that are a part of us through college, and even into future life. It was on a sunny day of the Fall of 1906, in the College Chapel, that a group of Freshmen, after pitching the intruding Sophomores headlong out of the room, met for the first time. Carl Wolff was crowned King by choice. Loto Peck became Royal Consort, while Hazel Carlson played the role of Secretary of State. To Margaret Sutherland the keys of the Treasury were entrusted, and M. F. Williams was chosen Administrator of the Dictates of King Carl I. On a snowy eve, some time later the Class of 1910 held high Carnival on the third floor of the Administration Building. To add to the novelty of the event there were found occasional black collars which had passed through the Sophomore laundry. A dozen or so windows acted as lightning rods, toward the missiles hurled by the mighty Sophomore. This year the “course of human events” has changed. We, as Sophomores, now have the right to exist and to demand that the Freshman take off hats and show obeisance to our desires. Instead of that lovely appellation “Rook,” which signifies the blissful stage, we bear the dignity of Sophomores, privileged to administer the regulation “dipping” and “blacking” to the “Innocents.” To carry on the affairs of class, Estelle Olson was elected President, Max McCall Vice President, Hazel Carlson Secretary, A. W. Burton Treasurer, and Allen Collette, Ser-geant-at-Arms. It has well been said that “variety is the spice of life.” This saying applies to the individual in the same way as it applies to the whole, which is in this case the present Sophomore Class. In every student enterprise the wearers of the “Blue and White” have been worthily represented. With our army, one hundred and fifty strong, we will fling the banner of 1910 to the breeze and joyously watch it float over the class “that is the fairest of all.” “Those Nasty Sophomores” THE FRESHMAN CLASS HE CLASS OF 1911 is the greatest, in point of numbers at least, that has ever entered this institution, and from present indications, we venture to predict that quality will go hand in hand with quantity to make our class one of the best in the history of this college. While we have already done considerable towards making an enviable reputation for ourselves, the greater part of our school life and work is still before us, and we would rather have our deeds speak for us than to laud ourselves with mere words. When we entered college last Fall, it was with lofty aspirations and ambitions, and with a firm determination to devote the best in us to the acquisition of that great essential to a successful life—a good college education. During the few months that we have spent here, these aims and ambitions have intensified and we are resolved to achieve success no matter what the obstacles. With a timidity caused by several weeks of trials and tribulations, during which time we had suffered all that was to be suffered in the category of Freshman agonies, we, the members of the Class of 1911, assembled in the Chapel to perfect our class organization. Our meeting was a subject of much interest, especially to the timid “Rooks” of last year, who had developed into tall dignified (?) Sophomores, and it seemed to be their intention to assist in selecting our class officers. But with a courage born of desperation we undertook to eject the intruders, and did the work with such rapidity and so much force that Dr. Kerr, fearing there would be no graduating class in 1910, interfered, and the defeated Sophomores limped painfully away, while we proceeded to elect our officers. In subsequent meetings we became better acquainted with each other and began to discover what a wealth of talent lay latent in our class, awaiting only a favorable opportunity for blossoming forth. The opportunities often came, but one event that stands out pre-eminent among all others in our metoric career, the event which will be printed in headline type in all future editions of the world’s history and be a topic of great interest to future generations, the event that will be recounted in glowing terms again and again by gray headed men and women, as they hold on their knees their little grand-children and tell them of the good old college days and the Class of 1911—that event is the famous Freshman party which was held by our class February 15, 1908. For days and weeks preparations had been in progress and when the doors of the old Armory were thrown open on that eventful night, the beautiful sight disclosed would have delighted the gods of old and brought them from their woodland haunts to join us in our revelry. From the center of the massive rafters overhead to the railing around the balcony were hung in graceful festoons long strings of sword ferns, while at intervals along the walls were hung garlands of cedar and mistletoe. A stage had been reared on the north side of the hall and decorated with ferns and gay-colored bunting, and op the wall at the rear of the stage was the beautiful class banner—Old English letters of green on a pennant of pearl gray silk. The guests began to arrive at an early hour; some on foot and some in coaches of state; some alone, some in couples, and some escorted by policemen, for be it known, a tribe of the mortals known as “Sophs” were raging rampant ’round our banquet hall. About nine o’clock a delicate ambrosial fragrance resembling hydrogen sulphide, or ancient eggs, began to permeate the atmosphere. The source of the delicious odor was soon discovered,—the “Sophs” had taken off their shoes in due respect and reverence to the mighty Freshman Class. Later in the evening the lights were suddenly cut off, but this emergency had been wisely provided for and several hundred candles, more or less, were soon burning brightly, adding a pleasing uniqueness to the scene. But such little Sophomore pleasantries marred not in the least the pleasure of the evening, but rather tended to add zest to the occasion, and the party broke up at a late hour, all declaring that the Class of 1911 is the “Class of Destiny.” Class Officers. President, R. P. Francis; Vice President, Iva B. McGinnis; Secretary, H. D. Hobson; Treasurer, Bernard Olsen; Sergeants-at-Arms, Guy Shattuck and W. D. Winniford. EVOLUTION FRESHMAN In the Autumn’s breezy sunshine, When the harvest moon is waning, Comes the “Rooky” from the sage-plains; Off to get his college training. Soon he wears the fancy “war clothes,’ Learns just how to be a soldier— Smiles outright at all the ladies; Feels just like he might be older. In the Spring the “Rooky” blossoms. Takes long “hikes” across the country, Catching bugs and picking posies, Helps some maiden with her botany. SOPHOMORE The “Soph” so bold pursues the “Rook, Shows him, “what is H.O,” 'Tis a form of college training That the “Rooky” ought to know. The “Soph’s” a wobby, sporty fellow, Some times goes upon a spree; Knows a bunch of jolly fellows, In his tests gets “23.” He tries to make a marked impression On any one whom he may meet. Returning home is “heartily” welcomed By one of father’s impressive feet. JUNIOR There’s a handsome vigorous fellow, Who never flunks or “gets the can; Wins an “A” in all his studies, And he’s called “A Junior Man.” The Junior’s knowledge is preposterous. Numerous things he knows and does. Prints a book that’s full of pictures, Makes the wheels of science buzz. He often takes some recreation, In the “gym” or on the track, Breaks a record with the hammer, Or carves the beefsteak at the “Shack. SENIOR Every Senior lacks ambition, Fills the “Rooks” with “heated air;” Always has a herd of “horses.” Likes the luxury of a chair. The Dam—A Sunday Resort A Daily Temptation Chintimini (Mary 8 Peak) On a typical April evening, I stood at the foot of the campus and gazed with contentment on the magnificent scene that lay before me. The sun, a great crimson ball, had just sunk to rest behind Chintimini. Its parting rays of red blended with the green of the campus, and the College lay before me bathed in color as if transformed by an artist’s brush. Fifteen miles away stood Chintimini, the sentinel of O. A. C. and the playground of her students. The flaky clouds that played about its crest reminded one of a shower of petals from a red rose. As I gazed on the beautiful scene, a feeling of pleasure and pride stole over me, and my thoughts drifted back to some of the happiest days of my college life. The memory of many pleasant hours spent in picnics and pleasure parties on the top of the distant mountain, flitted across my mind. The jolly ride to the foot of the mountain; the climb, when it was such a pleasant duty for me to help her over the rough places; the lunch after we reached the top; the coasting down over the snow drifts; the gathering of wild flowers, and the frolics and capers of college “kids” out for a day of pleasure, all came back to me. Then I thought of the legend of the “redmen” and of the beautiful Indian maiden Chintimini, who (the legend tells us) watched over her people from the top of the mountain and led them on to victory in time of war. As these things passed before me I grew envious of dear old Chintimini. Here she will stand for centuries to come, when we shall have passed away, to watch the progress and triumph of the grandest institution on the Pacific Coast,—our beloved College. Coasting in June President W. J. Kerr, D. Sc. THE NEW ADMINISTRATION N THE RESIGNATION of the venerable President Gatch, the Oregon Agricultural College was indeed fortunate in securing so able a man as President W. J. Kerr of the Utah Agricultural College to fill the executive chair. President Kerr is an experienced educator, and has made land grant colleges and their work a life study. Having visited the large agricultural colleges and industrial schools of the East, and made a careful study of the different systems and policies in vogue in these institutions, he possesses a thorough knowledge of modem educational methods. President Kerr is decidedly a man of action; a man who deliberates cautiously and progresses with confidence; a man who is a sincere friend and help-mate of every student in the institution, but who.meets questions of discipline with a firmness that leaves no room for doubt. Under his regime, the College is undergoing a process of evolution and reconstruction that bids fair to place it on an equal basis with any institution of its kind in the United States. The policy of the new administration is pre-eminently progressive. The purpose is to make the work of the Oregon Agricultural College throughout all its departments strictly up-to-date and in every way adapted to the needs of the State. That the best results may be realized with the available resources, special emphasis is placed upon the necessity of close specialization and complete organization. The work of more completely organizing the College, and of securing greater concentration on the part of specialists in the different departments, was begun by the new President immediately upon assuming the duties of his office. Many important changes have already been made this year, and others are in contemplation for the immediate future. At the meeting of the Board of Regents in July last, the work of a number of the departments was segregated and additional professorships were established. Additional professors and instructors were employed, and the work generally was strengthened. But an ideal college is the product of growth, and it is impossible, with limited resources, to effect a perfect organization in one year. Changes to go into effect next year have already been authorized by the Board of Regents, which mean much in the future development of the College. The standard has been advanced one year, increasing the requirements for admission to the Freshman class to two years of high school work. This will strengthen the degree courses in many ways, and enable students to carry the work in which they are specializing much farther than has heretofore been possible. At the same time the advantages of the institution will not thereby be removed farther from the people in need of the training it affords. For persons who desire work relating directly to their vocations, but who are not able to pursue an advanced college course, elementary industrial courses have been established in Agriculture, Mechanic Arts, Commerce, and Domestic Science and Arts. Students may be admitted to these courses from the Eighth Grade, and will be allowed to pursue the special work in which they are interested, whether in the handicrafts, or in agriculture, business, or household technology. For administrative purposes, schools have been established in Agriculture, Engineering, Domestic Science and Arts, and Commerce, each school comprising the different departments indicated by the name of the school. During the year each school will be organized and a plan perfected by which to insure the most efficient administration of College affairs. The President of the College, the Director of the Experiment Station, and the Deans of the different schools, will constitute the Administrative Council, the functions of which will be to deal with the larger questions of College policy and administration; while the strictly legislative matters relating to instructional work will be in the hands of what is known as the College Council, consisting of the President and the heads of departments. Professorships have also been established in Veterinary Science and Industrial Pedagogy. The latter was established in pursuance of the demands of the people for the introduction of industrial work into the common and high schools of the state. The purpose is to take students who have received their technical training in the different departments of the College and give them the special pedagogical work required in order that they may be prepared to teach industrial subjects in the public schools. By the establishment of a chair in Veterinary Science, the work in Agriculture will be very much strengthened, as there is a great need of specialists in Veterinary Medicine in the development of the live-stock interests of the state. These are a few only of the most important features of the new plan being worked out for the development and strengthening of the institution. The new policy, when fully developed, will open up a broad field for specialization. The professor of each department will be a specialist in his line, and will be held directly responsible for results obtained in his department. The School of Domestic Science and Arts will have four of the most efficient instructors that can be secured. The work in this school will cover a broad and varied field, yet giving special training in all those branches distinctive of the course. The work in the other schools will be expanded and specialized in much the same manner. The Business Office of the College will be so conducted as to be a model for the commercial students. The School of Commerce will be enlarged so as to afford students an opportunity to specialize in expert accounting, trade and transportation, banking and finance, business administration, etc. It is expected that a number of additional professors and instructors will be employed,—the very best that can be secured in the large colleges of the country. In this work of reconstruction, the underlying questions of policy are: First, complete organization; second, close specialization; third, thoroughness and efficiency in all the work of the institution; and fourth, to bring the College nearer to the people of Oregon and make it render to them the greatest possible service. —A Student. New Mechanical Arts Building AGRONOMY OTH as a science and as a practice, Agronomy is the basis upon which IM all other branches of agriculture rest. Agronomy is the science of the field and its crops. It deals with the fundamentals necessary for all farm practice: the fertility of the soil; the production of field crops; the mechanics of farm work; the economic management of farm business. These are the first principles, the very beginning factors, upon which all success in any special line of agriculture depends. These are not only the earliest and oldest subjects of all agricultural history, but by far the most widespread and common in practice. The paramount importance and far-reaching interest in this great branch of agriculture led, through the efforts of President Kerr in conjunction with the Board of Regents, to the establishment of the new Department of Agronomy at the Oregon Agricultural College last September. On the instructional side this department offers a wide range of courses, some fifteen in number, not excelled in their scope by any similar institution in the land. In crop production, all the great crop plants of Oregon and the United States are studied from elemental germination in the field, through culture and harvest, to the minute details of their marketing and manufacture. In its relation to crops and various systems of farming and to the maintenance of fertility, the soil is studied exhaustively from origin and formation, its chemical and physical nature, to its improvement by crop rotation, culture, and fertilization. The rapidly growing importance of Henry I). Scndder, B. S. Professor in Agronomy drainage and irrigation in Oregon is recognized in the practical course offered by this department. The necessity of intelligent knowledge on the part of the agricultural student of some of the rudimentary principles of engineering is answered by an extensive course in Farm Mechanics— the operation and construction of complicated modern farm machines; the cost and construction of all classes of improved farm buildings. Nor is the business side of farm life neglected. The advanced student in Agronomy studies the methods of successful farmers; studies the markets; accounting; the economic management of labor, fields, live-stock, structures, and machines. Graduate work is offered in many subjects, such Taking Soil Samples as Plant Breeding, Irrigation Farming, Field Experimentation, Power Machines, Soil Investigations, etc. In every subject, instruction is accomplished equally through class-room, laboratory and field work; theory checked by practice. For the latter methods of instruction the well equipped laboratories and shops of the College; the various soil conditions, numerous experimental crops and extensive structures of the Experiment Station farm, offer excellent material. Cn the Experiment Station farm, in fact, there is a living page upon which Nature has drawn striking illustrations of the principles of agriculture the student evolves in laboratory and class-room. Clearly then, this department above everything else seeks to interest the student in farm life through a knowledge of the fields, the crops, the mechanics of the farm; seeks to interest him in agriculture as a science through the wide range for scientific study and investigation it offers, or the possibilities in the fields still unexplored; or, finally, to interest him in agriculture as a business, through its profits as a practice and its opportunities as a profession. It prepares him most capably for successful farming or farm management; for government service in the United States Bureau of Soils, Plant Industry, etc., or shapes him for Experiment Station or Agricultural College work. On the Experiment Station side, the work in Agronomy offers a field rich in promise of increased wealth to the farmers of Oregon. Lack of support from the state is all that can hinder the experimental development of its soils and crops. Some of the more important experiments in Agronomy now under way are: the breeding of wheat, oats, barley, corn, vetch and kalo for improvement in adaptability to Oregon conditions of soil and climate and for increase in both quantity and quality of yield; long and short rotation systems for the improvement of soil fertility; methods of tillage most valuable for the production of Oregon crops; examination of all commercial crop seed for purity and viability; tests of the value for this state of the various grasses and legumes in pure and mixed growth; tests of the value of irrigation in the Willamette Valley, etc., etc. Testing Soil ANIMAL HUSBANDRY HE Department of Animal Husbandry is under the professorship of Dr. James Withycombe, the best recognized authority on fine blooded animals in the state. The department has for its aim the proper instruction of the student in judging, feeding, breeding, handling and caring for live-stock under both range and farm conditions. The department has at its disposal the herds and flocks on the College Farm and others in the adjoining country. The student becomes familiar with the history of the different breeds of farm animals and learns to judge animals individually and by comparison, with reference to points of merit. He receives a practical knowledge of herd management, the principles of breeding, and the methods of feeding stock for the production of beef, pork, milk, mutton, and wool. The new barn erected for the convenience of this department is equipped with all modern appliances and will serve as a virtual laboratory for the students in animal husbandry. During the Spring term of each year the students of this department visit some of the largest stock farms in the western part of the state, and thus become familiar with the best herds in Oregon. James Withycombe, M. Ayr. Director of Experiment Station Professor of Animal Husbandry Stock Judging Class THE DAIRY DEPARTMENT HIS department is the richest in the school, i. e. it turns out more good golden-colored butter than any other, and if golden-colored articles are not a symbol of riches we know not what riches aie. It is here that the mind and eye are trained to judge the value of a dairy breed and of the value of the lacteel fluid which is extracted from the corrugated excrescences of the above mentioned bovines, particularly the Jersey, Guernsey, Holstein-Fresian, and Ayrshire—types of which are on the College Farm. The course is so outlined that the types of animals are studied first; probably so, that some of the edified city students may be able to distinguish a Galloway cow from a Shetland pony. However that may be, this is in turn followed by a practical and theoretical course in the method pursued in the best dairies and creameries. During the pursuance of this course one of the most interesting and instructive topics considered, is the divorce court of a creamery. This court requires a very strong and able judge in one of its departments—the Babcock test; said judge being concentrated sulphuric acid. Should a person, buying milk of an honest (?) milkman submit a sample to this court, and it should require a skim milk bottle to secure a test, doubtless the court proceedings would become more realistic. This is really the Supreme court of the dairy, for if in the divorce proceedings of the Separator Court, which by the way is quite the largest one in this department, there being about a dozen distinct types of separators of varying capacities and efficiency, the decision of separation does not look just right, the findings are submitted to the Babcock Court for settlement. A record is kept of each separator in the department. There are three cheese vats in the department and practical as well as theoretical instruction in cheese making is given. There are also several churns, a pasteurizer, and various other of the paraphernalia necessary to do efficient work in a creamery, among them being a large cream tester, recently installed, and a milking machine. The latter is used almost entirely at the College barn and has given very good satisfaction as a “teat-puller.” One of the best features of this department is the short course offered in mid-winter to anyone in the state. It extends over a period of six weeks, and may be extended to twelve weeks next year. Taken as a whole the course is practical and efficient and as the dairy industry of this state increases, the department will be able to increase the scope of its work. One thing learned here is the doing away with “the can’t,” for if you do not eradicate any “can’t” which may be in your mind, “The Kent” may do away with you. The Dairy Dairying Class Short Course Class HE course in Mechanical Engineering offered by the Oregon Agricultural College is intended to qualify the student for work along mechanical lines. The Freshn.an, still trembling from the excitement of matriculation, is ushered into the woodworking department and, with Professor Jackson as superintendent, evolution has begun. The first task is to plane a two-by-two to one and five-eighths square. It looks easy, but it has to bt square. But his power of persistance finally asserts itself and he succeeds. By the end of the year he feels himself able to compete with an experienced cabinet maker or is a personal stockholder in the fleet that each year embarks upon the raging Willamette at Corvallis, about June 15. These sail away “never to return,” but each year at launching time, others rre ready to bear the 0. A. C. pennant into foreign waters. In the Sophomore year, our cabinet maker is transformed into a smith by the able direction of Professor Porter. The free-hand artist becomes a mechanical draftsman, and the “wonder” of the Geometry class becomes the wizard of the “Trig.” The Junior, harking to Professor Phillips' siren voice, changes silently but surely from a brawny smith to a skilled mechanic, who leans against his machine and looks with care and machine black on his face at the whirling iron, wondering whether he would be a “projection” or a “co-ordinate” if death should claim him while under the influence of Descriptive and Analytics. The wizard of the Trig develops into the fiend of the Calculus, who follow this “Will o’ the Wisp” all night, and some one terms him the “exhaust” in the “Steam Boilers” class next day. For here, unguarded, he falls into Morpheus’ power and an audible snore tells that he dreams of the Grant A. Covelt, M. E. Pro feasor of Mechanical Engineering Mark Clyde Phillips, B. M. E. Instructor in Mechanical Drawing and Iron Work Elmer I Jackson, B. S. Instructor in Carpentry derivation of Calculus from the Greek and he awakes, saying “a stone!”—basalt or adamant. In the Senior year, from the fiend of the Calculus evolves the shark of Mechanics, whose mind in reckless daring races from zero to infinity and back again, Centres of Gravity, Moduli of Elasticity and entire polygons of forces give way before his mad rush. When asked “whom seek ye?” he pauses a moment and pants out breathlessly, “Moment of Inertia,” and is away again on the wings of Light. He who would be a Mechanical Engineer must experience all these things, but he finds it worth his while. When he faces the stern reality of life he realizes that industry has need of him and his skill, and he cheerfully applies himself to his chosen work. Mechanical Drawing Class HIS course is so designed that the young man after gradu-o ation is fitted to enter the engineering field and meet his competitors in his chosen line of work, with credit to himself and his Alma Mater. He will obtain not only a thorough practical knowledge of this branch of industry, but also will have become familiar with the underlying principles necessary to his success. It is a well-known fact that Oregon, while supplied with only a small coal area, has untold wealth in its mountain water courses. The development of these larger streams will make three million horse power work for the people of the state in a electric lighting, railway and manufacturing. The construction and operation of these great engineering improvements mean the expenditure of large sums of money for materials and labor, and requirement of highly skilled technical men for their construction and operation. Thus it will be seen that the opportunities for positions of responsibility which must be filled by graduates of electrical courses, will greatly increase in number in the near future, and the field will become one which will always furnish a steady demand for energetic and competent men. The course is not only strong in mathematics and the several natural sciences, but Thomas M. Gardner, M. M. E. Professor of Electrical Engineering in the designing-, constructing, testing and operation of electrical machinery and appliances. Many dynamos and motors of commercial sizes are being built in the shops by the students, of which, six machines are being constructed in connection with thesis work. A number of pieces of apparatus and testing instruments are in the process of construction. All of these when added to our present equipment, will increase greatly the size and efficiency of our engineering laboratories, for instructional purposes and original investigation. To those students who have completed their four years course and have been graduated in Electrical Engineering is extended an opportunity for further study along that line, for the degree of an Electric Engineer. Karl V. Hawley, II. S. Instructor in Physics Sketching Machinery OK THE first time in the history of the Mining Engineering De- partment, it has been separated from the department with which it has so long been connected, and stands by itself. This is a part of the excellent work of re-organization under the regime of President Kerr, and which bids fair to place our institution on a par with the large colleges of For the first time, too, we have a man who gives his full time to the department. Prof. Henry Martin Parks is a graduate of the Mining Engineering Course at the Iowa State College at Ames, Iowa, and has had an additional year’s work at the State School of Mines at Golden, Colorado. Aside from his college training Professor Parks has devoted considerable time to the study of the practical sides of mining. One year was spent in the mining district of Butte and Anaconda, where he studied Mining and Smelting in the big Copper Camps. He has also spent considerable time in the mining sections of Colorado, and Tonopah, Nevada; in the iron mines of Duluth and vicinity, and in the coal mines of Iowa, and he comes to us well equipped to teach practical as well as theoretical mining. Professor Parks has taught in the mining department at the Iowa State College, also at the Northwestern University, and comes very highly recommended from both institutions. Although the work of the department has been greatly handicapped by lack of equipment, a start has been made. Considerable addition to the mineral collection has been made for the use of the students in Mineralogy and Crystallography. The department expects to occupy the building which has been used the East. as a Forge Shop, at the beginning of next year. The Assaying department which now occupies a position in the basement of the Agricultural Hall will be transferred to this building. The extra building will give room for additional equipment, and the department will soon be in a condition to add more practical laboratory work. « HE NEEDS of a new and wealth-producing country, such as our great Northwest, is first met by a people capable of evaluating its proffered resources into a higher and better civilization. Oregon with her large area of untilled lands, and small mileage of railroads, her unbroken forest tracts and all the wealth of her metal-bearing ores, is in need of some one to develop her industries. The Civil Engineering course at 0. A. C. is only of two years duration, and yet in this short time a practical and thorough course of training has been installed. The course includes plane surveying in which lectures and recitations are interspersed with office practice and field problems. The construction of the instruments is given proper emphasis, and orginality and exactness are insisted upon at all times. The Junior and Senior years include Topographic Surveying, Railroads, Highway Construction, and Roofs and Bridges, as well as other minor details of study that are incorporated to meet the needs of each student. It is a fair assumption to prophesy that many students now in this course will some day be leading the greatest engineering move- Gordon B. Skeleton, C. E. ments on this Coast. Professor of Civil Engineering Civil Engineering Class SCIENCE T THE HEAD of this department is stationed Miss M. C. Snell, a woman, beloved by all, whose influence for good, and for right living will always be felt throughout our state, because of her careful earnest direction of the young women under her instruction. Miss Snell is ably assisted by Miss Mary Sutherland, of 0. A. C. ’04 class. The aim of the department is to prepare girls for the life work which they as women of the future are expected to perform. Indeed, what work is more blessed than that of the home-maker and home-keeper? By the system of training here offered, competency in practical work is attainable. The work of the department is divided into various heads, including General Hy- Margaret C. Snell, M. D. Professor of Domestic Science and Arts giene, Hand-Sewing, Dressmaking, Cookery, Etiquette, Aesthetics, and Care of the Sick; some one or more of which is taken up each year of the college course. During the first year an hour each day is given to hand-sewing, on samples of the various kinds of cloth, etc., which work cultivates the virtues, dexterity, industry, patience, neatness, and exactness. The minds are being stored and enriched, the while, with short poems, and the well expressed thoughts of the masters. General Hygiene lectures are also woven in while the hands are busy, impressing upon the mind the necessity of good health to all happiness and success in life; while lectures and talks on social forms and usages, and the art of entertaining are not neglected. An hour a day, the second year, is occupied with planning, cutting, fitting, and completing garments in the dress-making department. Several new machines and other appliances have been added to this branch of the work this year, and it is planned to have the course extended from one to four years, with a degree in the work offered. Cookery occupies five hours per week of the Junior year. Three lectures per week are given on the chemistry of foods, and two hours are given to practice work in cooking, which is no less needed by Oregon girls than by those of Michigan, Iowa, or Mis- sissippi. When the struggle waxes strong, and the steam and iron have left their scar, just take courage, girls, and remember: “Men can live without poetry, music, and art; They can live without conscience, and live without heart; They can live without friends, and live without books, But civilized men cannot live without cooks.,, Aesthetics, with its relation to the subjective and objective world, is given special attention during the Senior year, and a careful study is made of the masters of discourse, architecture, music, and painting. The history and description of celebrated buildings of the world are prepared and given by members of the class from collateral reading. Famous paintings, with copies, are studied in like manner, and the great artists and their works are thus fixed in the memory. Such study imparts general knowledge and culture that can be attained in no better way. The Care of the Sick is also given some time. In the absence of real patients—O. A. C. girls are of so persistently healthy bodies —the members of the class take turns at playing sick. Knowledge of many practical home remedies, and emergency treatments is acquired, as well as the key to those deft touches here and there which help to eliminate the sameness, and stiffness of the sickroom. The young ladies also strive to acquire the important art of entertaining the invalid and convalescent. Under this kind guidance of most worthy instructors, and enjoying the many conveniences afforded in the new location in Waldo Hall, the Household Science girls are quietly and industriously applying their heads and hands, and the results will tell in the years to come. Cooking Laboratory ON MAKING a comprehensive study of schools and their work, we find that the average young man and woman coming from the town or rural localities, has his or her mind set as to the course of study each is to take up at the beginning of the college career. Some have decided to become pharmacists, others mechanics, still others farmers, or perhaps some have decided to take up work of a clerical or literary nature. The Oregon Agricultural College caters to the demand of all, and being a state institution, it is right that she should. With the thousand students that throng our halls every year, we find a goodly number among them desire literary training. Our college offers a very commendable Literary Commerce Course for those desirous of this kind of work. It takes up all the studies of importance in a course of this nature, such as: English, Bookkeeping, Penmanship, Commercial Law, Stenography, Typewriting, etc. In fact, we believe it is as broad and complete as can be found in this part of the country. English receives special attention. Every term of the entire four years, with but two exceptions, presents this subject. The aim is so to acquaint each student of the course with the English language, that there will be no doubt as to his ability to give proper expression to his thoughts. Upon graduation from the Literary Commerce Course, each student is given the degree of Bachelor of Science. Thomas II. Crawford, .4. M■ Professor of Commerce HE PHARMACY COURSE at 0. A. C. has proved to be one of the most popular courses given in the institution. There are seventy-eight students registered in this course, and the number is increasing each year. Being the only school cf pharmacy in the state, its graduates may be found in a large percentage of the drug stores in Oregon, both as clerks and proprietors. The pharmacy students have ever been noted for their loyalty to the institution, their progressive spirit, and for earnest and sincere work. The Pharmaceutical Association is a considerable factor in developing and sustaining interest in the work, and its meetings are well attended. Questions of practical and theoretical interest are discussed, which give the student the benefit of the experience of the profession in all lines of work. The instruction is both practical and theoretical and a student graduating from the course will be excellently equipped for any branch of the work, either in the store, the laboratory, or medical school. Prof. C. M. McKellips, head of the department, is a graduate of Purdue University, one of America’s foremost Pharmaceutical schools, and, in addition, has had many years of practical experience. To his ability as an instructor and personal popularity with his pupils, the success of the course is largely due. We are all looking forward to the State Board Examination in June, which, we hope, will result in each of us being the proud possessor of a certificate, either as Registered Pharmacist, or Registered Assistant. In conclusion, Here’s to the School of Pharmacy at 0. A. C: May its glory never _ become dim; rray it ever have loyal students to rally ’round its banner, and, at last, when T I we have gone our several ways into the wide, wide world, may we all have deep in our hearts a little spot, sacred to the memory of our school, our instructors, our classmates, and, best of all, our beloved Alma Mater, dear old 0. A. C. Clarence M. McKellips, Ph. C. Professor of Pharmacy Junior Pharmacy Laboratory Senior Pharmacy Laboratory Pharmacognosy Class S IT IS the purpose of this institution to provide educational training along those branches of science, art, and industry, that are of the greatest value to the largest number of people, it is imperative that a thorough course in chemistry be provided. For chemistry has grown, until today, there is hardly an industrial science or art that does not incorporate some branch of chemistry into its vitals. This is why O. A. C. has the largest and most complete laboratories in the state. The entire south half of the Agricultural Hall is devoted to chemical purposes. The main laboratory accommodates one hundred students at a time and is the largest of its kind in the state. It is supplied with all the necessary gas and water pipes, hoods, desks, etc. It is here that the “would-be-chemist” gets his first introduction into the chemical world. It is here that he learns that H2O is a non-poisonous liquid, and that HNO3 is the chemical branding iron that soon imparts that beautiful yellow color to the fingernails which remains with him the rest of the year. Here is where he puts into actual practice what he learns in the class-room on the third floor. This room is supplied with all the necessary apparatus for the demonstration of the lectures given by the different professors. It is provided with chairs arranged in the amphitheater style, so to accommodate a large number of students at each lecture. The theoretical and practical work are taught jointly and in connection with each other. This is the great advantage that O. A. C. has over other schools in this line. With her extensive laboratories and appliances, together with her able instructors, she offers the student the greatest possible advantages. He per forms with his own hands the principles taught; and thus has them impressd on his mind, not only in the classroom, but by doing and seeing them in the laboratory. This forms the foundation for a John Fulton, H. Agr., l . S. Professor of Chemistry Charles E. Bradley, M. S. Instructor in Chemistry Herman V. Tartar, B. S. Instructor in Chemistry thorough, practical training. Two terms are devoted to general inorganic, or the A, B, C’s of chemistry. The third term is a qualitative study of the most important metals. It gives practice in the analysis of unknown mixtures and chemical compounds for bases. The fourth term is a qualitative study of unknown mixtures for the detection of the acid radical. Following the qualitative work comes the quantitative, which is the determination of the amount of a compound in a substance. This branch consists of four terms’ work for those desiring to specialize in chemistry. Special branches of the above courses are provided to meet the demands of the individual departments such as, pharmacy, mining, forestry, agriculture, etc. In these courses, special work is done along the lines of the various branches. The purpose of the department is so to ground the principles of chemistry into the minds of the students and familiarize them with the practical application of the science, that they may have a firm foundation upon which to build their reputation as chemists. Therefore, those who have any aspiration along chemical lines, will find none better in Oregon than at O. A. C. General Chemistry Laboratory CHE COURSE in Zoology aims to present those branches of the science that will be of the greatest benefit to the student in his chosen work. For instance, the Agricultural student rr.ust know something of Entomology, the Pharmacy student, of Vertebrate Zoology and Physiology, etc. By specialization, the student is able to make the most of the time required of him in this department. From the study of the simplest animal forms, their structures, habits and methods of reproduction; and then, by carefully considering the different stages of development up to the higher forms, one is able to form a conception of the vastness of the science. With A. B. Cordley as professor and J. C. Bridwell as instructor splendid results have been accomplished in this department in the last year. The policy has been to present the various branches to the students through his own observation, i. e. by means of actual dissection in the laboratory, accompanied by lectures, to require the student to work out the subject in detail for himself. This relates particularly to vertebrate zoology where it is required that several cats be dissected during the term. Many students find it profitable to take advanced work in this department. As successful fruit growing requires more than a passing knowledge of Entomology, the horticulturist should specialize in this branch. Aside from well-equipped laboratories this department has a magnificent collection of birds, fishes, reptiles, insects, skulls, disarticulated skeletons. In fact it has the largest collection of Oregon insects in existence and the finest collection of native birds in the West. Arthur B. Cordley, M. S. Professor of Zoology and Entomology Fred C. Ewing, B. S. Assistant in Zoology John C. Bridwell, B. S. Instructor in Biology Perhaps the most valuable asset that the student obtains from this department is the insight he receives into his own physical mechanism and environment. After becoming thoroughly acquainted with himself physically, if he is logical and in the least practical, he will make a move toward right living, and may use the influence at his command to persuade his neighbor to do likewise. He would be merely discharging his rightful duty in doing this, and may we look forward to the time when the teachings of the zoology department at O. A. C. will have such a broad influence in our state as to make us a more healthy, vigorous and progressive people. Dissecting Cats in Vertebrate Anatomy HORTICULTURE NTIL a comparatively recent date the position of Horticulturist has been filled by professors of other departments in the institution. During May o‘f 1906, Professor Lewis, M. S. A., who took graduate work at Cornell University, accepted the chair of Horticulture. Since his arrival the department and experiment work have taken on quite a different aspect. At present there are twenty-eight courses offered in horticulture and olericulture. These courses give the students a thorough, practical and technical knowledge of fruit growing and gardening. The work covers all the important phases of horticulture dealing with the more common kinds of fruit and vegetables, their propagation, cultivation, harvesting and marketing; as well as some landscape gardening and floriculture work. The object of the courses is to give the students a thorough knowledge of their subject and fit them for managing horticultural problems in an intelligent and successful manner. Having completed these courses, the students are capable of taking up experiment station work or holding responsible positions as foremen of large orchards. By taking the elementary work during the first two college years and specializing throughout the last two, the students are able to acquire a thorough knowledge of horticulture. Besides the four teachers, the department has two assistants, graduate students, who devote their whole time to experiment work. While many experiments are being carried out there are two quite extensive ones dealing with orchard irrigation, and the pollination of the apple which are of great importance to the fruit growers of the state, and require considerable time and expense. They have been carried on for one year and will probably extend through a period of years before conclusive results can be given. Since our state has recently been making such rapid strides in the development of its horticultural possibilities, it is fitting that its horticultural experiment work and teaching should have more attention than they are receiving, for this work is making rapid advancement and bids fair, if properly supported, to keep pace with the speedy development of our state. Claude I. Lewis, M. S. A. Professor of Horticulture Charles A. Cole, M. S. Instructor in Horticulture Horticulture Class OLERICULTURE N INDUSTRY which holds forth great promise of being a A leading factor in the state's resources, but which at the present time is in a comparatively crude state, is that of commercial vegetable gardening. In the course offered at the present time, the aim is so to present the subject to the student, as to enable him either to launch out in business on his own account, or to take charge of a commercial garden. The five acres of college land set aside for experimental work, furnishes ample accommodation for practical work, as well as a field for theoretical experiments along these lines. George Coote Professor of Floriculture and Gardening Arthur Ii. Boauet, B. S. Assistant in Floriculture In the Greenhouse FLORICULTURE AND LANDSCAPE GARDENING CHE primary purpose of instruction in these two subjects is to educate the mind of the student in the perception of the beautiful ; then to train the hand as well as the brain in the application of his sense of beauty. By lectures and practical demonstrations, the student is given a thorough knowledge of the care of green house plants, and also such other plants as are used to decorate and beautify the home garden. Much attention is given to propagation, cultivation, management of green-houses, conservatories, etc. The student is required to make designs for the decoration of gardens, parks, etc.; and, by acquainting himself with the leading decorative trees, shrubs, and flowers, become as efficient as possible in the art of embellishing and adorning. ♦fTN ORDER to meet successfully the plant || problems which confront him on the farm and in the forest, one must have a good practical knowledge of vegetable life, and this the course in Botany at 0. A. C. is designed to give. The technical knowledge which the student receives by means of lectures and recitations, he sees verified in the field and laboratory work which are required of him. Special attention is given to these latter, for, foliowing out the industrial idea, the actual work done by the student supplemented by the text book as a guide, is what educates him. The laboratory is well equipped with dissecting and compound microscopes and other apparatus for individual work, and the charts, models, preserved specimens and collections of plants, furnish sufficient working material for the different courses. To meet Pr°fe oy °f Forestry and Botany the needs of each course, the special phases of botany essential to that course are considered. In addition to the study of plan structure in general, students in agricultural and household science discuss the physiology of plants; pharmacy students spend a term on plant classification, of poisonous and medicinal plants. The forest question is one which is occupying the minds of intelligent men at the present time. The forestry course is planned to meet the needs of those who take up forest work, either private or public. It teaches intelligent use, protection, conservation and Claude C. Cate, B. S. Assistant in Botany regeneration of the forest; the providing of timber not only for present use, but also for the future. This and similar problems can be met efficiently only by having trained men in forest work. The course, although specializing in forestry subjects, affords the students instruction in those branches necessary to a well-rounded education. This, like all other courses given by the Agricultural College, is based upon industrial work. The student puts into practice the knowledge gained from lecture and text-book by actual work among the trees, for it is required that all students shall spend two sessions of eight weeks each during July and August, in the forest. Botanical Laboratory Foresters at Home BACTERIOLOGY THE WORK in bacteriology forms one of the most interesting courses given by the college. Its applications to every-day life are many and various. When we consider the fact that the science of Bacteriology is still in its infancy, the remarkable results already achieved seem the more wonderful. When we loook around us and see the changes which alter the face of Nature from day to day and conceive that many of them are brought about by living organisms so minute that as many as 1700 millions could Emile F. Pemot, M. S. live with ease in a single drop of water, and Professor of Bacteriology that one per cent of this enormous number could be reproduced in the course of twenty-four hours from a single individual, our amazement changes to awe, and we begin to look with interest at these “plants”; for they belong to the plant kingdom, and are not “animals” or “bugs,” as they are some times popularly called. When we see that these infinitely small organisms can be determined, studied and classified by a science as exact as that of chemistry, we have a bare glimpse of the field of the bacteriologist. We are fortunate indeed, in having at the head of this department so able a professor as E. F. Pernot. He is one of the best authorities on this subject on the Coast, and has made it his life work. Those of us who are fortunate enough to come under his instruction will long remember his winning personality, and sincere interest in us and our work. Bacteriology Laboratory MAN should consider himself well educated unless he has acquired a j thorough knowledge of the world's history and has mastered the Latin v language. With this idea in view, an exhaustive course is offered in both History and Latin. Latin is the vestibule of education. So says W. T. Harris, United States Commissioner of Education. He is talking of Land Grant colleges; and the O. A. C. students feel like saying, “Thank you, Mr. Harris.” For they have found the vestibule a very interesting apartment of the college. Indeed, this sentiment prevails in Land Grant colleges, because the sons and daughters of farmers, mechanics and other working men are entitled to the best things in the land. A course of three years in Latin was long ago provided in the Oregon Agricultural College. During this course an acquaintance with Caesar, Cicero and Virgil ripens into respectful familiarity. This familiarity with ancient authors awakens in the mind of the student the sense of the importance of the study. Hence, most students, with Dr. Harris, can say, “Latin, in its scientific use, is not a dead language.” Those best acquainted with Latin are its best and truest friends, and those who are unacquainted are not competent to pass on its merits. The majority of higher institutions of learning—technical, literary and professional—require Latin for admission. In higher educational circles, to be versed in Latin is to belong to the more respectable majority. Let us belong to this majority. While students in literary institutions of learning devote a large share of their time to modern literature and dip their silver oars freely in the ancient classics, no one can reasonably object if the sons and daughters representing the industrial classes should for a short time enjoy Doctor Harris’s vestibule of college life. In Miss Grace Gatch, the instructor in Latin, the students feel they have an efficient and praiseworthy teacher. Her winning personality commands the respect and admiration of the class. The course in history includes Greek and Roman, Mediaeval, and Modern History. It is one of the most interesting studies within the student’s curriculum. One never tires of a discussion of the bravery and physical vigor of the Spartans, the culture and wonderful, artistic productions of the Athenians, or the pomp and glory of the Roman warriors. Not less interesting is the study of the social and political institutions of mediaeval times, and the great European wars that turned the tide of civilization. Professor J. B. Horner, the instructor in this department, possesses much first-hand knowledge of ancient art, manners, and customs, having spent some time in travel through Italy, Greece, Egypt, and Palestine. During the year he gives numerous lectures, illustrated by lantern slides, which serve to fix the details of ancient history more firmly in the student’s mind, and to give him a broad, true conception of the subject. John B. Horner, A. A ., Lit. D. Professor of History I MONG the exact sciences, we find none that afford a better memory drill than higher mathematics. Where thorough-J I ness and accuracy are insisted upon at all times, mathematics disciplines the mind for connected, logical thought. To obtain the very best training possible, all the exercises in the class-room must be presented in an orderly and logical manner; and when in all the principles and demonstrations required, exactness is always demanded, mathematics then cultivates keenness of intellect, broadens the powers of insight, enlarges the judgment, and increases the possibilities of originality. The courses in mathematics taught at the Oregon Agricultural College include Trigonometry, University Algebra, An-alitical Geometry, Descriptive Geometry, Calculus, and Astronomy. The work required of the students in the engineering courses is consistent with the class of engineering pursued. The different branches are taken up in regular order and they are outlined to meet the requirements of other in- Charles L. Johnson, B. S. Nicholas Tartar Professor of Mathematics Instructor in Mathematics stitutions and will compare favorably with the courses taught in the same branches at other colleges of equal standing. Professor Charles L. Johnson, who directs the Mathematical Department at the 0. A. C., is a very thorough and able teacher; he is well liked by all his students, and it may be said that none could possess a greater gift of getting a maximum amount of work out of the students in the allotted time. He is highly practical, can demand perfect discipline, and is wholly impartial. The department has two assistants, Nicholas Tartar and Harry L. Beard, both of whom are also very proficient instructors. Harry Beard, B. S. Instructor in Mathematics P. L. Adams, B. S. Instructor in Mathematics English Literature Language THE degree of culture of every student, every college graduate, yes, every man who lays claim to an education, is judged very largely by the manner in which he uses his mother-tongue. But the college graduate in particular is everywhere expected to lead with a good example in this respect. Whether it be as farm or shop foreman, as mine superintendent, as civil engineer or pharmacist or perchance directing domestic affairs in a well appointed home, the graduate is always and everywhere expected to be master or mistress of good English. “Style is the dress of thoughts,” it has been said; and let them be ever so just, if your style is homely, coarse, and vulgar, they will appear to as much disadvantage, and be as ill received as your person, though ever so well proportioned, would if dressed in rags, dirt and tatters. The student at college is apt to overlook or to underestimate this fact. He frets because of the work demanded of him in the classroom ; calls it drudgery, and can not see the use of theme-writing, of argumentation, of preparing briefs, engaging in debate and oratory, of constantly consulting dictionaries and encyclopedias and doing the thousand one things absolutely necessary to gain a mastery over the subject and confer on himself the power of using his difficult mother-tongue effectively. Whatever truths he may learn in mathematics, mechanics, chemistry, physiology, botany or kindred sciences, will practically remain dead capital, unless he-'have the power and ability to express them clearly and accurately, for the benefit of his own people, kindred, neighbors or strangers. Nay, more: if what he has learned he is unable to express clearly and intelligently for the benefit of someone, it might as well be inferred that he has not learned anything, since he does not have a clear enough conception of the matter to give it expression. It would follow logically, then, that the study of English—his vehicle of expression— should form an important part in the course of study of every student, man or woman. Frederick Berchtold, A. M. Professor of English Language and Literature This our college authorities have recognized. True, there are one or two courses in which the boys won’t grow fat eating English “bread,” as the slices are distributed only in homeopathic doses and few at that. It is not an unusual thing for students who follow these courses to take English beyond the required amount because they feel the need of it, although no credit is given for such work. In all other courses, however, there is quite a generous allowance and the privilege is greatly appreciated. All members of the sub-Freshman and Freshman classes, regardless of courses, take English. They review spelling, study grammar, rhetoric and composition. Written exercises prepared under rules of form are constantly required, to obtain practice and secure confidence in expression. Extracts from classic literature are read and analyzed. Rhetoric is continued in the Sophomore year, particular and sustained emphasis being put on argumentation. This is followed, in the upper classes, by a thorough and systematic study of English and American literature. Work in oratory and debate finds hearty and constant encouragement, the ultimate purpose of all these efforts being to instill in the breast of the young student, love and respect for our noble Tongue and, if possible, to imbue him with the determination to know and understand it so well, that he need not abuse his glorious heritage. Under the able direction of Prof. F. Berchtold, head of the English Department, the progress of this branch of instruction has been one of the rapid advancements and broadening scope. Professor Berchtold is assisted by Assistant Professor Ida B. Callahan and Instructor L. B. Baldwin. Under the new policy adopted by the Board of Regents this department has a brilliant future; it will give a course of instruction in Rhetoric and English Literature that will compare favorably with that of the leading institutions of the West. Ida B. Callahan, B. S. Assistant Professor in English Loren B. Baldwin, A. M. Instructor in English DRAWING T IS a recognized fact that every man can not become an artist by simply studying art. He must be endowed with some talent. Yet drawing is very essential to a thorough education. It trains the eye to form accurate and true imagery. It quickens the preception and is in itself a medium of expression. Professor F. D. McLouth, the instructor in the Drawing Department, is himself an able artist. Under his careful guidance many students attain a marked degree of efficiency. The walls of the free-hand drawing room are fairly lined with sketches that testify to the good work being done in this department. The subject is presented to the student in such a way as to apply to his particular course. In this department the mechanical student lays the foundation for mechanical drawing and drafting. By applying the principles of specialization here as elsewhere, the subject is made interesting and practical. Lectures are given in connection with the work that firmly ground in the mind of the student, the principles of perspective, lights and shadows, the reflection of light, etc. In the mechanical courses emphasis is placed on accuracy of outline and proportion. Mechanical students are taken to the shops where they sketch pieces of machinery. As the work advances the interest increases. Courses in industrial art, designing and interior decoration are given. The preception and manipulation of colors is introduced, and when the ability of the student is manifest, he is allowed to sketch from life. Taken as a whole the course is as complete as that of any industrial school. Farley D. McLouth Director of Art Department Freehand Drawing Class ELOCUTION 3p LOCUTION, the art of expression, is by no means a minor consideration in the educational curriculum. It is in the Department of Elocution that a student creates within himself an appet’te for good literature and a love for the expression of it. It is here, on the platform, that he learns how to cope successfully with stage-fright, by throwing his soul into the thought of his declamation. It is here that he learns the rudiments of public speaking, the art of gaining and keeping the undivided attention of an audience. Inflection of voice, gesticulation, pronunciation, and all the essentials of proper expression are imparted to the student by constant practice. Indeed, these things are most essential to the education of any man or woman. Professor Helen Crawford, the instructor in this department, has labored unceasingly in the face of opposition to build up this department. No professor of the college is more popular with the students than is Miss Crawford. The success that has been attained by O. A. C. students along forensic lines can only be attributed to the early training they received on the “elocution platform.” May the good work Professor Helen Crawford has accomplished be a source of pleasant memory to her. Helen V. Crawford, B. S. Professor of Elocution MODERN LANGUAGES Wer keine Fremde Sprachen kennt, weiss nichts von seiner eignen.—Goethe. ELIEVING with Goethe that nothing gives a more complete mastery of the English language than the study of a foreign language, the courses in Modern Languages are being extended. The courses now offered in this department are German, Spanish, and French. Professor Gerard Taillandier is at the head of the department, and under his able guidance one may become proficient in any or all of these three languages. The regular course in German covers both the conversational and scientific fields, and is intended to fit the student for practical conversation as well as giving the means into his hands for the prosecution of research. In French and Spanish the course deals entirely with the conversational part of the languages. The latter language is spoken and in fact is the one of common usage in the Philippines, and most South American countries, and would therefore prove to be a valuable asset to any one if acquired, and especially worth the while of those who are taking the Engineering and Mining courses. Gerard Taillandier Instructor in Modern Languages THE LIBRARY Richard J. Nichols, B. S. Librarian WO-O-O WEEKS-S-S! ! It was in the Library and the offending culprit closed the door from the outside. When the student is banished from the Library, he feels that he has lost his best friend, and he has in truth. Books are the best friends we have; they never fail us, they never cease to instruct. These legacies of genius are always the same, always ready to repeat their lesson when opened. Fortunate is the man, who has at his disposal, a library, where he may choose at will and read; for Carlyle has said: “The true university of these days is a collection of books.” The student who grows weary of the pranks and capers of the living, turns for comfort to these embalmed minds of the dead. Such a student refrains from throwing paper-wads and creating a disturbance in the library. He is thankful to Mr. Nichols for the order and quietude preserved during study hours. He tastes the current literature with caution, but swallows whole some passage of Addison or Macaulay, or chews and digests a treatise on some scientific subject. But there are those who are wont to twaddle behind the book-shelves, talk aloud, fight a duel with books, or jerk the chair from under some awkward “rook.” Their appetite for literature is easily satisfied. Puck, Life, and the daily paper constitute their literary environment. For these, “Two weeks.” PHYSICAL CULTURE PHYSICAL CULTURE, as the name implies, is a systematic training for the development of the physical man. That is, a proportional development of all the various muscles of the body. It is a well-known fact that a student can not do his utmost in college work unless he possesses a strong and vigorous body, as well as an active brain. It is to this end, that the courses in physical culture are required of all those who are taking regular college work. The regular physical culture work includes free exercise drill; the correct use of dumb bells, Indian clubs, bars, and rings; and the proper training for tumbling, wrestling, and boxing. This class of work is given during the winter term when the weather is such that out-door work is impossible. Roy Heater, the instructor in this department, is himself an athlete and a man of energy. He comes to us well recommended as an athletic instructor and trainer. As physical training is one of the strong elements that constitute a well-rounded education, the college girl must not be slighted in this respect. Proper physical training is the one thing that will produce health, an easy poise, and a graceful carriage. In the old Grecian days, the daughters of Sparta threw the discus, indulged in all manners of athletic exercises, and hardly knew what ailment was. In those ancient times, men and women adhered strictly to the principles of proper physical development and refrained from dissipation. A weakling was not tolerated. It is safe to say that the wonderful health enjoyed by the girls of O. A. C. is due in a great measure, to the physical culture drills, which they receive under the able instruction of Professor Helen V. Crawford. These exercises with the dumb bells, Indian clubs, and wands, given with musical accompaniment, tend to produce a graceful carriage and a universal development of the muscles and functional organs of the body that can be secured in no other way. One of the most popular entertainments of the college year is the exhibition drill given in the Spring term by the ladies’ physical culture classes. Music is tlic fourth great material want of our nature,—first food, then raiment, then shelter, then music.—Bovee. USIC is indeed to be considered as one of the material things that constitute a happy home. Then, it is fitting that every young man and young woman, who are lovers of music, should learn to play some instrument well. Students of O. A. C. are indeed fortunate in having such a splendid opportunity to avail themselves of economic instruction in music, either instrumental or vocal. In the instrumental department one may receive instruction on the piano, violin, mandolin, guitar, and other stringed instruments. Professoi Gerard Taillandier is director of the School of Music and Professor of the Piano. Through his efforts the School of Music is now well equipped with instructors and thorough courses are offered in all branches of music. Professor Alameda Mann is an accomplished artist on the violin and piano, and Professor H. E. Allen is an able and experienced instructor on the mandolin and guitar. Under the directorship of Professor Allen, the Mandolin Club is making rapid improvement, and bids fair to be one of the best in the state within a year. The vocal department is under the instruction of Miss Lulu Spangler. A considerable number of students are enrolled in this department, and at all social gatherings the vocal abilities of some of these are made evident. Aside from private lessons, the students receive much practical benefit in the Choral Class and Glee Club. The different musical organizations of the college are a source of pleasure, not only to the members but to all who are connected with the college. The College Band has attained a high state of efficiency that makes it a drawing card for all athletic events. At different times during the year free recitals are given by the musical department, which are indeed a treat to lovers of music. With so many talented students enrolled, and with instructors who are specialists in their own particular line, the 0. A. C. School of Music will, beyond all doubt, graduate more accomplished musicians in the future than any other school of its kind in the state. Harry E. Allen Instructor in Mandolin and Guitar The Cadet Band THE BAND ONE of the most popular and most highly appreciated student organizations at the Oregon Agricultural College is the Cadet Band. The Band now consists of thirty-six members, including Director H. L. Beard. This number is increased as new musicians appear. This year, as in the past, the Band has furnished music for the games and athletic contests. The concerts given at these places have become a drawing feature, and are looked forward to with pleasure. In drill and military ceremonies also the Band has made an excellent showing. Much credit is due these musicians, especially Director Beard. Professor Beard has done excellent work in developing from young and inexperienced players a band which ranks with the best amateur bands in the Northwest. He has labored patiently and it is directly due to his efforts that the Band has attained its present degree of proficiency. The members are: H. L. Beard, Captain and Leader Harry Bowman, third cornet R. E. Bower, Drum Major C. L. Reed, first trombone O. K. Cole, solo cornet, Principal Musi- S. F. Holmes, first trombone, Corporal cian R. L.

The Mandolin Club The College Orchestra Captain Ulysses G. Me Alexander Our Commandant THE MILITARY DEPARTMENT ILITARY training is the essential foundation of nations. The fact that we have such a department in our school is fundamental. It is prescribed in the very acts which provide for the Agricultural Colleges of the United States that receive any support whatsoever from the Government. Cognizance of things military is as valuable an adjunct to a man’s education as any other one of the numerous subjects presented for study in the college curriculum. Each of these colleges is supposed to be provided with a Regular Army officer on detail as instructor in Military Science and Tactics. We are fortunate in having at this college, Captain U. G. McAlexander of the Thirteenth Infantry, who has had years of service, part of which has been in the field, in which he achieved marked success. Through his untiring efforts, the cadet organization is steadily improving and before the end of another year bids fair to be one of the best of its kind in the United States. At present the cadet organization is regimental, and consists of three battalions of four companys each, a Band of thiry-five pieces, and a Hospital Corps. Any cadet who has drilled for three years or more in any military organization is regarded as a senior in the Military Department; those who have drilled two years, as Juniors; those who have drilled one year, as Sophomores; and those who have had no drill, as Freshmen. When possible, all commissioned officers will be selected from the Seniors of the Department. The non-commissioned officers from Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores. All undergraduate male students, except where physical disability exists or other good reasons can be shown, are obliged to register in the department. Fifty minute drills take place four times a week; and in addition, the Seniors and Juniors (so registered in the college) have one recitation per week in Military Science and Tactics.

Believing this to be true, the students of 0. A. C. have found it profitable to devote an evening of each week to things literary. They have organized societies, and limited the membership thereof to thirty, so that each member may have a better opportunity for developing his literary talent. These societies are broad in their scope, for they not only cultivate the literary abilities of the members, but they afford an opportunity for practical experience in forensic and oratorical exercise. There are honors to be striven for; and in competing for these, the student enriches his mind with the best fruits of literature. He acquires a relish for the works of great men of letters and a desire for the command of a good style. He learns to read for style and thought as well as for sentiment. Indeed, the benefits derived from society activity may be the foundation for a great literary career. In addition to societies, the numerous clubs and associations formed by the students are a source of much literary as well as practical benefit. The members are required to prepare papers to read before their clubs, dealing with some subject of paramount interest to their chosen profession. The students take an active interest in the affairs of these organizations, for through them they gain a knowledge of the practical things that are only briefly discussed in the class-room. When a man leaves his Alma Mater and loses himself in the rush and whirl of the industrial world, perhaps he may forget many of the events of his college career, but the memory of his society and club life, with pleasant recollections of the friendships formed there, will always abide with him. HE AMICITIA SOCIETY, organized in 1895, was the first college literary society to fill a position long needed in literary work. The purpose of the society is, principally, for the advancement along literary lines, but the sociai part also has its many pleasant features. Among the honors which have been attained by the society are the victories carried off by its members in both oratory and debate. In other college work it has been ably represented. The society colors are Cream and Blue. The following are the present members: L. C. McLAIN, President R. M. KERR, Secretary TOM AUTZEN, Vice President R. F. O’ROURKE, Treasurer J. C. STREBIN E. F. W.

It was the first girls’ literary society organized in the Oregon Agricultural College. This literary organization began its work with seventeen charter members, all of whom felt the need of literary progress and who were capable of doing good society work. It is the aim of the society to promote all work in literary and society enterprises, particularly the former. As a result of our literary work we have our name on the Gatch Cup for 1905. We have not only been represented in debates, but also in oratorical contests as well. We have not always taken the highest honors, but our efforts have crowned our work and are a credit to us. In our work along social lines we care for the intimate associations of the girls in forming lasting ties of friendship that may never be broken. Color—Royal Purple. CHARTER MEMBERS.

The society was organized in 1897 and has since been prominent in all college enterprises. In 1904 we were victorious in winning the “Gatch Cup,” but were able to hold it only one year. The Faculty honored our society in 1905 by selecting one of our members, Miss Alice Jones, as salutatorian. We are now quietly waiting for another inspiration by means of which we may again rise to prominence through our oratory or debate. MEMBERS.

Shortly afterwards the name was changed to the one we now have. It has always been the policy of the society to exact regular attendance of its members, and to make the programs so varied and interesting, that each member should not only derive exceeding pleasure from the evening, but could go home, feeling that he had learned something. Primarily the aim of the society is to create an active interest in things literary, and secure for its members, as great an efficiency as possible in oratory and debate. It is fitting, considering the relative merits of some of our members, to mention some of the ways in which they have distinguished themselves. R. R. Clark and J. W. Darling have made themselves conspicuous by their ability as debaters. The society has been ably represented in oratory by E. C. Callaway and F. D. Luce, the former having represented O. A. C. at the State Intercollegiate Oratorical Contest, and the latter having won the local Prohibition Contest. In athletics, B. H. Greenhaw and A. K. Chapman are record ‘‘smashers,” while Fred Fox holds the gavel of the Department of Oratory and Debate. .T. F. Winniford stands pre-eminent as President of the Senior Class, and R. H. Rodgers is the man behind the recruits. C. F. DeSouchet is noted for having a name like a sneeze, and also for his ability as a “songster.” In fact, nearly every “Zete” has, by “hook or crook,” distinguished himself in some way. Though our ranks have been strengthened by many new men who show marked ability along literary lines, many of our most energetic members will graduate this year. To these departing members who have labored unceasingly to elevate our standard our heart-felt wish is,—“May your path through life be brightened by the mellow sunshine of success.” UTOPIAN SOCIETY was organized in 1900. The object this society is to cultivate those traits of character that d to make the ideal young woman; to develop the literary and social qualities of its members, and to promote a spirit of helpful friendship. The Utopian Literary Society has been represented in all literary and social functions of the year. The society was well represented in the local Oratorical Contest by Marcella Reed. We were also represented in the Ladies’ Debating Team by Violet Hancock. Our society debating team is composed of Sadie Bell, Iva Peterson, and Gertrude Dorsey. ROLL CALL.

Our first year was very happy, for we had the enthusiasm of beginners, besides the self-confidence of Sophomores and Freshmen. The charter members will always be grateful to those who aided our early efforts, especially to Miss Snell, President Gatch, and Miss Southerland, also to the Utopian, and Philadelphian Societies. The second year we learned that society work is not all play, but this year we feel that our labor is being rewarded, for with a large membership, and the interest and talent that is being shown by so many of our members, we feel that Clionia is forging to the front.

The membership has steadily grown and the work of its members has been characterized by a keener interest in all phases of scientific agriculture. Established before the college provided for specialization, it afforded the student a valuable means of keeping in touch with agricultural subjects of special interest. In addition to its pleasant social functions, the weekly and fortnightly discussions have been a prominent feature of the work, thus giving the student an excellent opportunity of acquiring the art of public speaking. Among the Club’s several ambitions is an agricultural publication, edited and controlled by the Agricultural Faculty and students. Maintaining that the farm provides the best environment for man’s three-fold development, and that the rewards are even more remunerative than in any other line of endeavor, the Club endorses every movement that tends to make country life more attractive to the youth.

The money received from dues and initiation fees is expended for such current literature as touches and discusses all the practical phases of our chosen profession. On the tables in the society room are many technical magazines containing much interesting and valuable information. The room is open at all times to the members of the association who wish to make the most of a few spare hours. The association meets the second and fourth Fridays of every month throughout the school year. Aside from regular routine of business affairs, an interesting program is rendered at every meeting.

This club is yet in its infancy, as it was organized in the fall of 1907. Still it is meeting with decided success, due to the fact, that it satisfies a long-felt want in the Literary Course. The aim of the club is to obtain a better insight into the questions that confront the literary world. This is done by having talks and discussions on current topics, which generally make a very interesting as well as instructive program. Each and every member is expected to assist in the rendering of these programs. This club is composed of the members of the Junior and Senior classes of the Literary Commerce Course, who are interested in work of this nature. MEMBERS. C. E. WILLIAMSON, Pres.

In fact, enthusiasm has never ebbed and our association has from its birth been a potent factor in securing unity of endeavor and a spirit of advancement among the students of the Electrical and Mechanical Departments of the College. The membership of the 0. A. C. Engineering Association includes all Electrical and Mechanical Seniors and Juniors. The roll numbers at present nearly sixty members, in addition to whom there are many others who attend the meetings regularly. The programs, which occur bi-monthly, are made interesting and helpful by lectures on phases of the work which are not taken up in the class-room. The popularity and usefulness of this work is attested by the number of visitors who have favored every meeting of the year with their presence. We close the year with the assurance that our efforts have not failed of success; and we hope that the enthusiasm and interest displayed thus far may continue, and may bring the Engineering Association even brighter days than they have enjoyed in the past. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE BRANCH OF THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS HE American Institute of Electrical Engineers is national in its scope, and is one of the leading engineering societies in this country. Its objects are the advancement of the theory and practice of Electrical Engineering and of the allied arts and sciences, and the maintenance of a high professional standing among its members. Among the means to this end are the holding of regular meetings for the reading and discussion of professional papers and communications. A branch of this organization has lately been established at the Oregon Agricultural College. At branch meetings, papers prepared by eminent engineers are read and discussed, thus giving the student an insight into that which is happening in the electrical world, keeping him in touch with the scientific progress and the latest inventions of both this country and Europe. The officers of this branch are: A Chairman (who must be a member or an associate) ; a Secretary-Treasurer, and an Executive Committee of five. Our membership at the present time consists of two members of the Faculty and fifteen Seniors, the former being associate, and the latter, student members of the Institute. MEMBERSHIP.

Pharmaceutical Association was organized in the fall of 1906, not only for the purpose of bringing the students of pharmacy into a closer relationship while in college, but to bring them together that they might be able to discuss the practical side of the profession for which they were fitting themselves, which can nof be discussed in the class-room. At first, the association had its “ups and downs,” but through the energetic efforts of a few, it now stands in rank among the first of the college organizations. Its meetings are held semi-monthly, at which time a scientific and literary program is rendered by different members of the association. This is generally followed by the never-failing source of amusement and information, “The Question Box,” in which each member puts at least one question to be answered by some one present. As often as possible, some prominent pharmacist or member of the faculty is present and in an address or paper gives the members the benefit of his experience. MEMBERSHIP. L. C.

MAYS J. W. JARVIS BLAINE PATTERSON W. R. WAGGONER THE students in horticulture, desirous of obtaining a broader knowledge of horticultural topics, met last October and organized the Lewelling Club. The paramount object in view was an organization where the students could get together and discuss leading horticultural questions that could not be brought up in the regular curriculum of the college. The club was named after Mr. Lewelling, one of the early horticulturists, who was instrumental in making fruit growing in Oregon what it is today. He was a great plant breeder and was instrumental in originating several new varieties of cherries. This club was organized on principles different from those of other clubs in the institution, being modelled after the Lazy Club of Cornell University. There is no constitution, there are no imposing rules, no officers, no dues, no business meetings—only a program committee, chosen by the members, who appoint a presiding officer for each meeting. This allows the club to be very elastic and very democratic, the duties being imposed equally upon all the members. Students in the other departments of the institution are becoming interested, and it will be only a short time until more clubs of a similar nature will be organized. Weekly meetings are held, always accompanied by a very interesting program. Live topics of national interest are brought up from time to time, which are followed by a very spirited discussion. The club has also been instrumental in getting influential men from different parts of the sta e to speak upon practical questions confronting the fruit growers. From these meetings the students derive much benefit. Another commendable feature the club has taken up is the question box, which aids materially in developing the students as speakers, along horticultural lines. While the attendance the past year has not been large, the meetings have not lacked for interest, and those attending have received many suggestions that will be very valuable to them in taking up their pursuits in life. Next year the students are contemplating adding new features and it will be only a very short time until the influence of the Lewelling Club will be felt throughout the state. Although the club was organized by the horticultural students, it is open to all students of the institution interested in any way in horticulture. oo T| LTHOUGH Vorwarts was only organized this year, its work can scarcely be estimated. Its object is to help students in J ■ the acquisition of conversational German, and as we learn to do by doing, no greater advancement can be made along these lines than by actual conversation. At every meeting a program is rendered in German, thus bringing the members in touch with poems, songs and thoughts of great men of Germany. At different times Professor Taillandier gives illustrated talks on famous scenes and buildings of Germany, making what before was only vague imagination, a reality. MEMBERS.

WALLACE The Music Club The Camera Club THE FORESTRY CLUB fORESTRY in the United States is practically new. Although one hundred years ago there was considerable agitation, nothing was done until 1891, when Congress authorized the President to establish Forest Reserves. These reserves were created so that a part of the timber might be saved for future use and also for a scientific study of method for logging and preservation. Naturally these reserves needed men who were specialists in this line to care for them. It was this need that offered inducements to colleges to establish courses in forestry. Forestry as taught at 0. A. C. compares favorably with the courses in Eastern colleges, and next year, when the standard is raised, the course will be on a par with any of the universities. In order to promote greater interest in this work the Forestry Club was organized. The aim of the club is to discuss literature, news items, magazine articles and everything in general pertaining to forestry. The club also takes an active part in the “Camera Club” during the Junior year, and the “Rod and Gun Club” in the Senior. During the summer a period of eight weeks is devoted to field work at “Camp Reserve,” lumber camps, mills and factories, in which all the students are required to take part.

HE greatest asset of a man’s life is the man himself. What he does is only determined by what he is, and not by what he would like to be. What he would like to be, is the hand that beckons him on to the attainment of ideals of life and character, and these becoming a concrete part of the man, find expression in the deeds of his hands. In the placing before the minds of men the highest and best conceptions of manhood and life and character, the Young Men’s Christian Association holds a not inconsiderate place. It has come to be recognized by the leaders in the world’s work as a potent force for the training of men to take their places in a powerful way in the various lines of world activity, and for holding up the standard of Christian living and Christian service. It stands for a complete, well rounded development of life. Its work, as represented on the insignia of the association, is prosecuted along three important lines: (1) Physical, (2) Mental, (3) Spiritual. It believes that to neglect any one of these is to hinder the full development of the other two. As its name implies, it is founded upon the principles of the Bible and hence one of its most important departments is that which seeks to enroll men in the study of its principles and teaching. This year throughout the United States, 50,000 college men will have been enrolled in the Bible classes of the various associations and will have brought to their study the strongest and most virile thoughts of their being. The local association enrolled one hundred and fifty men who have taken one or another of the prescribed courses. Every Sunday during the college year meetings for the men of the schooi have been held and have been addressed by the best speakers that could be secured. These men have brought to the attention of their listeners the highest conceptions of life, and have sought to persuade them to take a definite interest in those things that are so vital to the highest good. The value of these meetings can be seen only in the growth of men, and their subsequent enlistment in those efforts which make for the highest and noblest and best. Here men learn, as perhaps nowhere else, the value of personal influence among their fellows, and the value of unselfish service for the good of all. The various activities of the work can not be outlined in detail. The securing of rooms and boarding places for new students, an employment bureau, an information bureau, buying and selling second-hand books, restoring lost articles to their owners, in short—whatever has commended itself to be for the highest and best in college life—this has been the field of service for the association. The General Secretary has spent his entire time in the interest of the various lines of endeavor of the organization and in addition to these details has been able by private interviews with a large number of persons to render, as we believe, a service upon which no money value can be placed. When at last the Student Body Building is completed, it will do a more varied work and as a consequence will accomplish a yet greater work for the students as individuals and for the school as an institution. There is in connection with the organization a body of men who constitute an Advisory Board. They are members of the Faculty and business men of the town who are giving their time and effort for the building up of the association that it may become a vital force in the institution. “A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump,” the Bible says. With only a small beginning, the association is growing with such rapid strides that there is no telling the good that it may accomplish in the future. Long may it live! Great be its accomplishment! Y. W. C. A VW. C. A. stands for the Young Women’s Christian Association, and the Young Women’s Christian Association ♦ stands for the best things—the things that count— in college life. As our association is a charter member of the great World’s Federation of Young Women’s Christian Associations, we take as our watchword the watchword of that federation, “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” And it is for this life we would train our members and it is of this life we would strive to tell others. It is for higher standards of living and for the promotion of Christian fellowship among the students of our college that we work. We have found Bible Study the best means of reaching many of the girls this year. And we stand not only for the spiritual life, but for social, mental and physical life as well. The association has given several successful social functions this year, and our friends will recognize in the figures in the margin some of the characters met at these social affairs. The young women’s Hallowe’en Frolic, where ghosts and hobgoblins were seen, and the joint party with the Y. M. C. A., where we met our friends from foreign lands, still linger as pleasant memories in our minds. Our members “have made good” this year in oratory and debate as well as in other lines. Our Corresponding Secretary, Miss Scoggin, besides being a member of the college debating team, has been chosen as salutatorian for the Class of 1908. Others of the girls have represented their societies in the debates. Kate Moore and Mamie Scoggin have kept up their good work at basketball, and Caryl Edwards is doing unusually well as a first year player. The strength of the association in the fall is mostly directed to aiding the new girls entering school, and to those who read this Orange and are contemplating coming to O. A. C., we extend a cordial invitation to write us for any help or information they may desire. � CABINET MEMBERSHIP.

Those girls just kept me having a good time every minute. Mona and her room-mate met me at the train and took me up to the “Dorm,” as they called it, and Oh! such a beautiful, large building it was. As I walked through the large halls, I felt as if I was the Dean of Women or some other great personage. We went up stairs and the girls took me into a beautiful reception room which is furnished with such pretty and comfortable furniture, and on one side of the hall is the largest cIock I have ever saw. Pretty soon, a rather large lady with white hair came over and kissed me and said that she was glad I came and hoped Mona would see that I had a lovely time. The girls said she called them down quite often, but I expect they needed it. I thought she was awfully nice. While she was talking to us the last bell rang for dinner, and she told Mona to bring me right down as I would be very hungry after my trip. The dining room is so pretty. It is trimmed in green, and around on the shelves are lots of pretty plates which have been given to the Hall by the ladies and girls of Oregon. I think I shall send one and have it placed with the rest. Mona introduced me to all the girls at her table. They all invited me to come up to their rooms some time. After dinner we danced and played games until seven o’clock, when the study bell rang and the girls all went to their rooms to study. Mona and her room-mate studied for a while, then some more girls came in and Mona said, “Let’s make fudge.” So they brought out the chafing dish and set to work. We giggled and talked quite loud. Soon we heard some one coming; the girls knew that it was the matron, and hid under the bed, in the closet and behind the screen. So when she looked in she was somewhat surprised to see Mona and Bess studying. She said, “I thought I heard you girls making a noise, but it must be in the other end of the hall.” Then she left us and the girls came out from their hiding places and finished making the fudge. We went to bed early, as on the next night was to be the Cauthorn Hall party. The next morning the girls arose early and decorated the reception room with hearts and flowers. The boys came at eight o’clock. I had the best time I have ever had at a party; I was sorry when the lights went out. We talked about the party for over an hour, and finally decided to go to bed. Bess tried to get her bedroom door open, but could not; so she came and told us that she thought there was a man in her room. Of course we were scared to death and went down the hall screaming, “Man! man! man!” This made all the girls wake up, and they came running down to our room. Some of the professors who live in the Hall were about as badly scared as we were. Everyone was so exicited. One of the men dressed in such a hurry that he put on his wife’s waist; he looked so funny. We were a scared looking crowd, all standing round Bess’ room trying to get in. Finally one of the men opened the door, but when he went in the man had disappeared; so a number of frightened girls went to bed to dream of men all night. My week’s visit at Waldo Hall was the shortest week I ever spent, and as soon as I finish public school, I am going to attend the Oregon Agricultural College, and live at Waldo Hall.

STUDENTS’ ROOMS AT CAUTHORN HALL t tX .f • Hjj . .... ILjl -i 4 ' sL_______ __ . 3___5. ;74 CORVALLIS IN AUTUMN A level stretching stubble field transformed with silver mist; On either side the vapor rolled, with morning sunlight kissed; And horizontal crimson clouds just threaded through with gold, More bright than pen or brush can tell, Ah yes! a hundred fold. The hills are hid, those humble hills which rise on everv hand, Replaced by banks of vapor white as surf upon the strand; The course of the river marked with trees dark seeming through the veil, While on the right the city lights still glimmer faint and pale. Scene on Mary's River |T WAS one of those balmy Sunday afternoons in May, and a soft breeze 'll from over the western mountains gently swayed the tree tops and sent the green waves rippling across the campus. A broad-shouldered, athletic looking young man, and a slender, graceful girl, tired from their long ramble after botany specimens, had seated themselves in the welcome shade of the fir trees. Behind them the sober “Ad’' building, sternly facing the warm, bright sunshine, frowned down upon the whispering trees as if to chide them for their seclusion. Before them the green campus, divided in halves by the shimmering walk, stretched away to where the “Lady of the Fountain” stood white and glistening against the somber background of evergreens. Beyond, lay the town, a quiet and restful picture, and far in the distance, past the Court House tower, a snow-capped peak stood out, like a “thunder-head” against the sky. “Isn’t it magnificent,” said the fair one, taking in with a sweeping glance the panorama that lay before them. “Grand,” he agreed, with merely a passing glance at the town and its background of wooded waste. Just now he was more engrossed in studying her profile, than their surroundings. That he was pleased with what he saw was betrayed by the expression of admiration that played about his firm face. And why not? In the bloom of life, with more than her share of feminine beauty and grace, she was truly worthy of admiration. As she turned toward him his glance shifted from her face to the lemon hat that crowned the wealth of dark hair, and she noticed that a shadow of disapproval flitted across his brow. “I wish you would not wear that hat.” He turned his face away as he spoke, and his attention seemed to center on some object far down the campus. “Well, why?” she inquired, smiling. He did not answer, and she went on. “I think it is real handy to wear out ‘Botanying.’ I do not look so awful bad in it, do I?” “Certainly not. It becomes you as a golden vase becomes a rose. It is not that.” She colored at his gallantry. With an unconscious touch of seriousness in his voice he proceeded. “It is not right to wear that which is not rightfully yours.” “I see nothing wrong in it,” she replied laughingly. “It is only a souvenir. The souvenir of a great victory. Besides, it was given to me.” “But that does not alter the case. In the eyes of the law, it is also a crime to receive stolen property.” He spoke almost gravely, and there was no longer any doubt in her mind as to his seriousness. “I do not think you have any right to say this to me,” she resented in a hurt tone. “It is not stealing to take a souvenir like this. It is merely a matter of friendly rivalry between colleges. When we defeat a rival college we bring home the spoils, just as the old Romans did when they returned in triumph from war. It is no more wrong for us to take souvenirs than it is for the soldier to bring home the rifle of his vanquished enemy. They do it in all colleges. I have a collection of souvenirs, but I have never robbed any banks or picked any pockets yet.” Despite the sarcasm in her tone he did not falter, but grew more serious, and, allowing his gaze to wonder off into space, spoke at length. “It is not so much the taking of souvenirs that is wrong. The wrong lies in the influence it has on young men who are moulding character, and who are the future citizens of our country. I think we are making a mistake in the present method of reform. Why try to reform men whose characters are made; why try to keep the big men from ‘grafting,’ when the very principle of dishonesty is being practiced and even fostered in our schools and colleges. To reform a nation we must begin at the cradle and not at the grave. This is only one side of the question. Looking at it from a moral standpoint, it is far more serious. I think I shall tell you a little story to illustrate my meaning. A story from real life.” He was unconsciously switching the toe of his shoe with a handful of her rare botanical specimens, resulting in their complete destruction, so far as their use for botanical purposes was concerned. She, however, was also too deeply concerned to notice this, and sat as if transfixed, her eyes riveted on his face in wonderment. In her conservative mind, she sharply contrasted the gay boy of a few moments ago, with the serious man before her. She observed that a sad look had settled on his face, exposing the lines of age and driving out the freshness of youth. “Down in the state of ‘sunny’ Tennessee,” he began, in an even tone, “in what is known as the blue-grass country, was a pretty little rustic home. Just on the outskirts of a village it lay, in a secluded nook in the hills, where trees and shrubbery covered the hill-sides, and a little brook ran babbling down near by. A beautiful little cottage surrounded by shade trees, and arbors overgrown with ivy stood well back from the orchard, which extended out to the corn fields and waving meadows. It was an ideal home. Everything that constitutes comfort in a rustic home was there. “In this quiet little country home lived a widow with her young twin sons, Don and Lon by nickname. Though the father had died when the boys were only seven years of age, the young mother found happiness in the companionship and education of her sons. “In summer, Don and Lon were kept busy on the farm, but in winter they attended the village school. There it was that they first learned to covet and to help themselves. It was fun to ‘swipe’ apples from dinner pails; sport to ‘hook’ pencils, marbles, knives, balls, anything, to exhibit to the ‘kids’ and brag of their prowess; and to ‘graft’ fruit from an exhibit in front of a grocery store was an honor to be attained only by the boldest. “In the two boys, Don and Lon, there was, however, a marked difference. Lon was as bold as his brother was timid. He would do most of the ‘grafting,’ but Don always came in for his share of the spoils. “As they grew older, they made progress in the art of stealing. Frequently, Lon would come home with his pockets full of neckties, pipes, razors, knives, and such knick-knacks that he had ‘grafted’ in some store while the clerk’s back was turned. All this, they would keep secret from mother, for she might not like it. “At last came the day when Lon caught the ‘city fever,’ and was off to Nashville in spite of the begging and pleading of his mother. At first, the mother worried about him, but was finally reconciled by the letters he wrote home of his successes. Now and then he would send money and presents and she grew to be proud of the accomplishments of her son. “In the meantime, Don was busy on the farm, and on wintery evenings, he would sit long by the fire with his mother and talk of Lon and his doings in the city. They were very happy in those days, but it was not for long. A cloud burst over the home that blasted it forever. “The news came that Lon had been caught in the act of looting a store and had shot a policeman while trying to make his escape. At last, the true nature of his successes had come to light. “Don and his grief-stricken mother made the journey to Nashville and there they met with a sad sight indeed. In the poor craven, blubbering prisoner, Don could hardly recognize his brother. With hollow, blood-shot eyes, bloated face, unkempt and miserable, he seemed to be a physical and mental wreck, in which the last spark of manhood had long since died. “When Don led his broken-hearted mother from that prison cell, he was a new man. He had but two purposes in life now. One was to save his brother’s life and the other—to be honest. The money that he and his mother had saved, the home, and all, went to pay the lawyers; but to no avail. Lon was sentenced to be hanged and was led to the gallows babbling and sniveling, completely unmanned by his horror of the rope, all his prospects in this world gone, and with no hope in the next. It was too great a strain for the mother, and on the morning of the execution day, Don found her lying on her bed, cold and stiff in death. “Crazed with grief, he wandered off in the woods—anywhere for solitude —and there, lying with his face buried in the faded leaves, he fought it out alone. “After seeing his mother laid to rest beside his father under the sheltering branches of the old elm tree by the spring, he left the old home, never to return. “The remainder of the story is not important. The desire, uppermost in his mind was to get away from the scene of his seemingly wasted youth, and forget. “He came West, worked for a time in the lumber camps of Washington, but feeling the need of a practical education, came here. Now you know why I never talk of my past life. I am Don.” For a time the silence was unbroken. Both had involuntarily fallen into a reverie. A jaunty Sophomore, crossing the campus, hailed them from below with a good-natured jibe. Rising, Don extended his hand to assist his girl friend and noticed that tears stood in her eyes. Those glistening pearls of feeling told him what her tongue could not tell. As if through a lens, he saw a soul that was pure as gold. Half a dozen University students lounged round the study room of the “Frat house,” boisterously discussing the merits of a new beauty, who had just arrived in town. “Hungry” Smith puffed hard at his amber-stem, and through a cloud of smoke, expounded at length on the beauty of women in general. “Heiney” Heinze and “Duke” Burton, sprawling on the couch, loudly discussed the exact shade of hair that suited their particular tastes. Puffing delicately at their cigarettes, “Stubby” McDuff and “Babe” Swift were listening with interest to the eloquence of “Hungry.” With his feet crossed on the table “Little Slim” Beckwith lay back in his leather chair and lazily blew rings at the row of pennants hanging from the ceiling. A door slammed in the hallway below and someone pounded up the stairs. A paper-bound missile sailed through the open door, striking “Slim” full in the chest. “A package for you, ‘Slim.’ ” Slim raised his two hundred pounds of beef and brawn to its full height of five feet two, and assumed the pose of a baseball pitcher, but the offender’s head ducked out of sight down the stairs. “What ’cher got, Slim?” inquired the Duke curiously. “Search me.” Slim was examining the handwriting closely. “It’s from Corvallis,” observed Babe, looking over his shoulder. “Look out, fellows! It’s an infernal machine!” “Woop! No slow ride for me!” yelled “Hungry,” breaking for the door in mock terror. “Maybe Slim’s dairy-maid is coming down to see him and is sending her clothes in advance,” ventured Stubby with a comical accent. Slim broke the string and disclosed to view the object of interest. An exclamation of surprise brought the others round the table. It was a hat of lemon and green. “And the cat came back because he couldn’t stay away,” sang Heiney as he recognized the hat. On the lemon triangles of the crown were the same inscriptions in ink that “Slim” had placed there eight months before. On the inside was pinned a slip of paper and they all gathered round to read: “Mr. J. Beckwith:—As I do not wish to be ‘a receiver of stolen property,’ and having in my possession this hat, which was stolen from you at the football game last fall, I take pleasure in returning the same to you. —G. B.” “Well that’s the limit,” roared “Slim.” “But who might this honest farmer be?” “Must be Mr. Good Boy,” ventured “Hungry.” “No, its a lady’s handwriting,” said “Babe.” “It might be Miss Gosling Bumpkin.” “Bet a dollar she’s a ‘Rook,’” giggled “Stubby.” “She’ll get to be President of the Y. W. C. A.; that alfalfa maiden.” “Slim” frowned. “You can say what you please fellows, but I admire a girl that is honest like that,” he said in a serious tone. “I only wish that she had signed her name so I could send her a card of thanks, and tell her just what I think of her.” “Good-bye, ‘Slim,’ ” said “Hungry,” extending his hand. “I see that the sting of Cupid has at last penetrated your rhinoceros hide. It is husk’in corn, pick’in punkins, and pail’in cows for you; from here out.” “Slim” ignored the joke and the good-natured laugh that followed. “If there were a few more like her, there would be more men and fewer thieves graduate from colleges.” With this parting shot, “Slim” sauntered away to his room with easy honors; to place the hat with his collection of souvenirs. — E. C. C. ’09. OH, GIRLS!” cried Bess Thomas, “Pve the best idea ever! “How strange!” said Glen Peary, sarcastically. “I believe you made that same lucid remark twice this morning and at least three times yesterday.” “Oh, do tell us,” begged Susy Brown. “Well, I will if you promise not to peach.” “Mum’s the word,” chorused the six, who had gathered in Glen’s room after supper. “Hearken, all ye people!” chanted Glen, as she deftly pulled out one of Bessie’s hairpins and tumbled her hair in a billowy shower over her face, “the veiled prophetess will reveal the mystic wonders of the mysterious future!” In the romp that followed, Glen was piled in a corner and covered with cushions. “There now, she’s suppressed! Tell it quick!” they panted, dropping into the nearest seats. “Well, it’s this way,” began Bess, “you all know what a little simpleton Delia Delaney is. She’s never been with a boy in all her life, and I don’t suppose she has the faintest idea how to act in the presence of company. Wouldn’t it be great to have some fun with her! Get a boy to take her to church, just for fun, you know.” “Oh, great! Well, I guess!” exclaimed the admiring quartette, but from the pile of pillows came a calm judicious voice, “Yes,—but where’s the boy. No one, you know, would do such a mean thing.” “We wouldn’t need to find one,” replied Bess, “we could have one made to order. Take Susy and add that wig we had for the play and that suit of her brother’s clothes in her trunk and”---- “Oh, Kid, what fun!” cried Susy. “I’ll do it this very night.” A little later in the evening, all but Susy went to call on Nellie Brown, whose room was across the hall from the parlor. They insisted that it was too warm with the door shut, and swung it wide. Soon a measured tread was heard in the hall, and Bess, stepping out, encountered a dapper, dashing young man. “Good evening,” said he, in a deep, calm voice, “I am Joe Kenton. May I speak with Miss Delaney?” “Just step into the parlor and I’ll call her,” answered Bess. “A gentleman in the parlor to see you,” she announced a moment later to the startled Delia. “A gentleman! to see me! It can’t be!” she stammered. “Don’t look so scared, you silly. He won’t eat you. He’s fine looking, and has the most beautiful eyes! Oh, you look all right. Come on,” and pushing the reluctant Delia before her, she entered the parlor. “This is Mr. Kenton, Miss Delaney,” said she, hurriedly backing out, to be received by the waiting girls, who went off into gales of smothered mirth and as suddenly became still, for Joe was saying, “Miss Delaney, you probably do not remember me. I met you at the Freshman reception and have wanted so much to renew the acquaintance, but have had no opportunity. Would you grant me your company to church some night, say next Sunday.” Frightened and excited, Delia murmured some indistinct reply. “Thank you! I shall be here at seven,” he said, then proceeded to entertain her for half an hour or so. “She’s working the little goose to a finish,” said Bess, under her breath. “Yes, but it is a mean trick, just the same,” declared Glen, but it was too much fun to listen for her to leave just then. When “Joe” had said good night, little simple-hearted Delia sped to her room, not to study, nor sleep, but to live over again her happy half hour. None had ever treated her so kindly before—she was not used to flattery, so what wonder her head was turned. All in a flutter, on Sunday night, Delia started for church with “Joe,” all unconscious of the tip-toeing figures who followed, and watched from the landing till the door was safely shut, then collapsed on the stairs and laughed till they cried. “We have plenty of time,” said “Joe,” “suppose we stroll awhile on the campus. I’d rather talk to you than go to church, anyway.” An hour later, a frightened little figure stumbled up the stairs and fled down the long hall. It was Delia, who flung herself on her bed and cried forlornly. “Oh, it was—just—simply—great!” said “Joe,” a little later to the girls in Glen’s room. “I do wish you could have been there. She thought everything I said was unvarnished truth, and I never lied so fast in my life. She didn’t know what to make of it when I made love to her and put my arm around her, —Gee, but ’twas fun!—but when I tried to kiss her, she ducked and ran. She may be running yet for all I know, I have not seen her since. I wonder if she heard me laugh. I couldn’t help it, to see her run like that,—from a kiss!” “The poor, frightened little thing, I’m going to find her,” said Glen. She found the childish little figure curled up on the bed, sobbing disconsolately, and without a word she marched the rest of the girls to her to apologize. “It was only a little joke, Delia,” “That boy was only Susy in her brother’s clothes, not a real boy,” “Your a real plucky little thing,” “I feel as mean about it all!” “Here I am, Delia, look at me. Can you forgive me?” they said, all talking at once. Looking slowly around through her tears she saw Susy. “On, go away!” she cried. “What did you do it for? I never did a thing to any of you. You were making fun of me because I am awkward and ignorant and what you call ‘green.’ Maybe I’m not so bright as the rest of you. Is that it? ‘The little silly,’ you think, ‘she can’t tell a girl from a boy.’ ‘She’s easy! we can make game of her, the little softie!’ Oh, yes, I’ll forgive you. You can lie to me, make fun of me, laugh at me,—anything,—only go away— it hurts to look at you,” and, choking with tears, she wearily turned her face to the wall. The girls stole out softly, leaving her thus, but their sober faces showed that their wonderful prank did not look so funny from the other side. They had learned that all fun does not end in fun. —L. W. ’09. ONCE upon a time there lived a Dago in Sunny Italy, who spent all of his time in making Violins, knowing full-well that in a few Short Centuries he would become World-famous, and that the mark of “Strad” would be a Household Word among the Bachelors of Music. But, as a Prophet is without Honor in his own Country, he could not Dispose of much of his Ware, for the Good Folk about him would not believe that his Fiddles would be worth Thousands of Dollars apiece, in a few hundred Years; so Strad, went Broke. Now, when an Inventory of his stock was taken by his Creditors, it was found that the Sum-total of all the Assets of the Firm was a lot of S-holes cut from the Sound Boards of Fiddles, and these were found propped up in a Dusty Corner of the Little Shop. Disgusted because there was nothing left from which a “Graft” could be made, the Worthy Receivers decided to clear the Country of the Entire Establishment, as an Object Lesson to all other Failing Institutions, and accordingly, they tied the lot of S-holes into a Sheaf, and threw them into the Hold of an out-going Vessel one Dark Night. As it chanced, the Vessel was Chartered for a Cruise to English Shores, and when the Cargo was being unloaded, the S-holes were found. Not one of them had been Broken on the Voyage, a very peculiar Coincidence, for their maker had been Broken several Months before. When the Holes were laid out on the Dock and Counted, the Customs Officer was at a Loss as to the Tariff to be charged. No one on the Vessel knew anything about them, and the Captain claimed that he should be paid Damages by the Persons who put Holes in his Ship. It was finally agreed that the Great Isaac Newton should settle the Matter, and he was Immediately Called. When he saw the Holes, his Face lighted up with a Smile, and he exclaimed, “Bravo! my Fame is made! How the Poor Youth will Sweat under his Collar, and go into a Rage, for Holes are Insoluble!” and, having expressed himself thus, he let the Story of the Holes be told him, when he exclaimed, “Why, as these are merely Holes, they are Nothing, and being Nothing, they are not anything, and Not being Anything they are Nothing again, and being Nothing there can be no Duty on them,” and turning to the Captain of the Vessel, he said, “Sir, you should be Thankful, and not Fault-finding, that you have Safely brought your Vessel into Port with her Hold full of Holes,” and to the Lookers-on he said, “One cannot Steal Nothing. If one takes Nothing, is he not Freely Entitled there-unto?” and so saying, he gathered him up the Bundle of Holes, and departed Home. Now, as this Newton was writing a Book that should cause the Youth to Burn his Tallow Candle late into the Night, and freely to perspire, he took these holes and placed one each before each Problem, for quoth he, “ ’Tis a Hole through which the Student may see, and as it is merely a Hole, there is Nothing to be seen,” and thus Chuckling to himself, he placed his Book on the Market, and the Youth did buy thereof, and even to this Day has not been able to Fathom the Mysteries of The Calculus, for the “Summation” hath proceeded from Nothing, and from Nothing springeth forth Nothing. On the Willamette BY WOODLAND PATHS Ah! show me the way to the shadow-light land, Where the sun, streaming down thro’ the trees, Tosses the shadows with tenderest hand To dance to the sigh of the breeze; Where, slow to the heart of the murmuring woodland A little path wanders awhile, And flings at our feet a bundle of moods— Strange fantasies, dim, to beguile; Where the spring-tipsey warbles of Nature’s sweet airs, Bright feathered a-softened with gray, Are swinging their cradles regardless of cares That harass the human spring day. Oh! lead me away to this light-shadow land, And sing with me there for a while, In tune with the sunshine, at Nature’s command, A tone with the woodland’s sweet smile. —L. H.

OFFICERS OF ORATORY AND DEBATE Rilla Thomson Secretary Fred N. Fox President Thos. J. Autzen Treasurer THE 0. A. C. BAROMETER VERY week the Oregon Agricultural College speaks to the world. Every TT week the students of the O. A. C. reveal to the multitude a record of their progress, their deeds and their achievements; and the medium through which they speak is the “Barometer” their official publication. The College paper is the criterion by which the school is judged, and strange as it may seem, it exerts a marked influence, not alone over the student body, but to those who read it outside of the college walls, in discerning and ascertaining what is occupying our thoughts and attention. The Barometer, as the name implies, means the weight and pressure of student opinion. In the past the Barometer has been in the hands of able men. The first to guide its destiny was F. E. Edwards. This was thirteen years ago, and March the sixteenth, 1896, saw the first issue of the Barometer. For eleven years it was published in the form of a monthly, and last year, under the able editor, C. G. Brownell, it was changed into a four-page, four column.s to the page, with twelve inches to the column, weekly. This year it has been enlarged still more, to five columns to the page, with sixteen inches to the column; and let it be said, that for the past year the Barometer holds the unique position of being the largest college weekly on the coast. Such in brief has been the evolution of the Barometer, and goodness only knows to what it will evolve in the future. According to the Student Body Constitution, ten per cent of the student fund is alloted to the Barometer, thus making it a college enterprise in which every one has a direct interest. This year the constitution was amended so that the editor and business manager are to receive a salary. The Barometer in the past has been too much of a one-man affair; it has not received the hearty co-operation and good will of the students. They seem to labor under the impression that the task of furnishing news should be left entirely with the man at its head. The editor is only placed there to see that everything that is printed is satisfactory and is therefore responsible for its contents. The task of furnishing news should be left to the students themselves. The position of the editor is not an enviable one. No matter how hard he tries to avoid it, he is bound to tread on the toes of some one, and for this he is censured. He is criticized on every hand and very seldom does he hear a commendable word of recognition. The students should make the paper strictly, of, by, and for the students, and should bear at least part of the brunt that now falls on the editor. The Barometer has been trying to live up to certain principles, and where it has failed, we would only ask you to be lenient, and in the future, help to make it an unobstructed channel through which the current of student opinion and sentiment will flow.

The result was the ’08 Orange; a book of which the institution and the whole state of Oregon was proud. Too much credit can not be attributed to these gifted minds who labored so incessantly and sacrificed so much for the production of the pioneer Orange. They were compelled to follow untrodden paths, and to battle with the suspicion and doubt that always hamper a new enterprise. But they triumphed over all obstacles and produced a book that is a true work of art and literature. We who know of the trials and tribulations of an Orange staff will always have a warm spot in our hearts for Cook, Cunningham, Schroeder, Winniford, Melhase, Mamie Scoggin, Faye Roadruck and others who were instrumental in putting out the ’08 Orange.

This year marks our first attempt to publish, monthly, a technical magazine. The idea that the engineering students should put out a journal dealing with the varied field of engineering, was first brought forth by Professor Gardner. The matter was taken up by the students and we have added another to the list of our college publications. The work of this year is largely preparatory. There will be only one issue this year, but there is enough material Collected to insure a good magazine and to perpetuate the work in the coming school year. The alumni in engineering work have done much to help the enterprise along. Articles written by our graduates who are in active engineering work are bound to contain much information that is both practical and interesting. This, together with articles from our own faculty, theses of the Seniors and other theoretical articles will go to make up a magazine that is worthy of our college and the state it represents.

Yes! Yes! Yes! REVIEW OF ATHLETIC EVENTS NI) IT came to pass, that a “Wise-man of the East,” was to lay aside his rod and chain, and cross the Rockies, that the athletic career of O. A. C. might wax great. He was a gridiron general, and he came learned in all the football lore of the East. And it came to pass, that the Wise-man’s name was Nor-cross and they spake of him as the “Prince of good fellows.” He findeth here only sons of the soil, small of stature and raw of limb. He taketh them in hand as balls of clay and mouldeth them into a live machine, a fighting machine that knoweth no obstacles. And lo! there held forth a great event on a field that was “watered with a solution of molasses and soft soap.” And great was the rejoicing thereof, for the great machine did buck and tear the enemy to pieces as so many shreds of wheat. And behold, the season closed with great success, for O. A. C.’s goal line remained untouched, and the people of 0. A. C. were loud in their praises of the “Prince of Good Fellows” and his noble team. And it came to pass, that there was another great man among us, who did train men to run the hurdles, throw the discus, do the high jump, and to be strong and hardy in limb and constitution. In the spring there came great multitudes of people to witness the athletic exhibitions of these men, and they waxed strong, and did win many field ind track meets for old 0. A. C. There were men among them that “smashed” records, and these were deeply indebted to their trainer for their success. And they sang the praises of “Dad Trine,” and were sorely stricken, as were the multitude of O. A. C.’s students and friends, when he was called away by the Higher Power. And again it came to pass that a mighty aggregation of football heroes returned to O. A. C. and they did find the same “Wise-man of the East” here, with the light of battle in his eye and a tongue that cut like a whip. And all the men of might strove with each other to see who should be a link in the chain, that would lead the Pacific Coast Championship, a captive, back to O. A. C. And there was among them a man of “rusty” hair who did partake of sugar-beets until he outweighed a hippopotamus; and him they called “Jamie.” Then there was another who could kick a ball farther than he could run after it, and he being round like a barrel, received the name of “Tubby.” Again there was one who could always find a hole and was wont to tear up the ground and grit his teeth; him they gave the name of “Rat.” One who bore the name of “a caudal appendage of a fish” would invariably make the opposing line look like a wide open gate. He of the fuzzy head and sandpapered face, whom they called “Dobbin,” could spill more men that a train wreck. One who carried the name of “a domicile for small fowls” cultivated the habit of promenading around the end with the “pig skin,” and he of the “broad smile,” who ran close to the earth like unto a grey hound, always found the ball or the man with the ball. Then there was one short of stature, who stood behind the line with his head full of plays, and his mouth full of signals, making the game like unto a cyclone. The man who stood firm as the Rock of Gibraltar in the center, and rung a bell with every ball he passed, they christened “Roughneck” Kelly, to distinguish him from the rest of the genus. He of the thin silken hair (“Chauncy” by name) was noted for being “Johnny on the Spot” when a punt hit the ground. The one big man, who never failed to make a concave impression on the man he hit, was just plain old “Bennett.” Then there was one who bore the name of wooden leg, and he was like unto a trap for punts and forward passes. And there was one like unto a run-away automobile when he received the ball and they named him “Chirp.” He who was not unlike a “tonsorial artist” in name was wont to make great rents in the opposing line. And then there was one who would break through and “tack” a man behind the line, and him they commonly called “Bill.” But the king of all was he who hit the line like a pile-driver. The man with sinews of steel, named “Pender.” And it came to pass, that this mighty aggregation was to lock horns with the U. of O. for the Northwest Championship. And when they came together in battle, great was the carnage thereof. The two great masses of brawn and muscle did come together with a great crash like the grinding of broken metal. And they did surge back and forth like unto two mad bullocks in deadly combat. And it came to pass, that there were hundreds of O. A. C. lads and lasses on the side lines, who did shout words of encouragement to their team and prayed for victory. And when the first half ended with no score, they did dance madly around their team in a “serpentine” and did throw up their hats and yell like unto an O. A. C. Rooters’ Club. And it came to pass, that O. A. C. did approach U. of O.’s goal line, and the “trusty” right foot of “Tubby the Wolfe” did make the final score 4 to 0. Then it came to pass, that 0. A. C. went raving mad and did turn the city of Eugene upside down like unto all pandemonium turned loose. And then it came to pass, that the O. A. C. team invaded a land far to the South, to capture the Championship of the Pacific Coast. And when they came marching home in triumph, great was the rejoicing thereof. The people did turn out in multitudes to do homage to the Champions. And the hearts of the fairest maidens did flutter at a glance from the heroes of the hour. The faculty came out with their wives and children to rejoice with the multitude. Bells were rung, cannons boomed, and the faculty actually yelled. It was like unto a cross between a feast of the Gods and a Fourth of July. Thus were the Champions of the Pacific Coast welcomed by their Alma Mater.

NORCROSS ORCROSS, “The Prince among Good Fellows,” was the best quarter-back Michigan ever had. “Hurry-up” Yost had him crammed, jammed and hammered full of football until he could hold no more. Though he was the smallest man on the team it took a Hackenscmidt to down him and a clairvoyant to presage what would be his next move. A Michigan student was heard to remark that “Norky was a football machine-gun loaded to the muzzle with plays, and no man could figure out just which way he would shoot next.” When “Norky” first entered the football arena of 0. A. C., a horde of curious students gathered on the athletic field to witness his debut. It was a circus to the bystanders. The way that “green bunch” tore up the earth with “Norky” at their heels would have done credit to a herd of buffaloes. Such expressions as “Au! you hold that ball like a loaf of bread,” or “Git out of there Wolfe, and let a man in who can play ball,” amused the onlookers, who shook their heads wisely as if to say, “He'll do.” But the Pacific Coast was yet to learn of “Norky’s” ability as a coach. There were no flaring head-lines in the Sunday papers about “Norcross Team,” no hard luck stories, but there was a bunch of husky “Farmers” being quietly hammered and booted into shape. When the season of 1907 ended, the Pacific Coast Championship Banner floated over O. A. C. That was “Norky’s” style every time. “Norky” in Action Date. Place. Opponent. 0. A. C. October 19 ....

Junior Football Team Senior Football Team A Decisive Point in Junior-Senior Game TRACK AND FIELD HE FIELD and track season of 1907 was a signally successful one. Although the track was was not in a prime condition at the beginning of the season, by dint of hard training a creditable team was turned out. The O. A. C. team met defeat at the hands of U. of 0. and were again defeated by the same team of “all-stars” veterans on their own field, but it was indeed no discredit to lose a meet to a team that could have carried off high honors anywhere in the United States. Washington State College, the Champions of the Inland Empire, crossed the Columbia, with the assurance that they would get O. A. C.’s scalp for the first time in an athletic event. But they were sorely disappointed. They returned to their native Palouse with the belief that Oregon was a land where “athletes grew on trees.” A few of the “star” point-winners of the 1907 track team were Davolt, Howard, Hall, Swann, Cross, Greenhaw, Chapman, Schroe-der, and Wolfe.

A. C. is four miles long, and leads over rough country roads, through pastures, up hill and down hill. The class runs are held on February 22 of each year, and gold medals are presented to the winners in each class. These, together with the men who won second place in the class races, run the final race, which takes place two weeks later. To the winner is awarded a gold medal and to the second man, a silver medal. The fact that the 0. A. C. track team is always Strong in distance races is due in a great measure to the active interest displayed in cross country runs. Here new material is brought to light and the early training hardens men for the coming track meets.

Second Basket Ball Team Champion Team of 1906-07 William O. Trine IN REMEMBRANCE THE general public is disposed to look upon the average athletic trainer as a man wholly given up to the pursuit of sports and altogether unable to find pleasure in the gentler things of life. Setting his heart on the development of a fleet foot, a muscular arm or a stout leg, your physical director, the casual observer thinks, has no appreciation for, or ignores the existence of, anything like mental gymnastics. The average man knows the athletic trainer only from what he sees on the gridiron, on the diamond or on the racetrack. Of the latter’s intercourse with those whose physical development is entrusted to him; of his life among his neighbors and acquaintances or of his home life he knows nothing. Could he be informed of the conditions as they really exist; or better still, could he get a glimpse of the trainer’s life “behind the curtain,” away from the excitement of the athletic contest, he would behold a different picture from the one he had imagined. We who knew the late Will O. Trine, for half a dozen years Physical Director at the O. A. C., know also what a truly noble type of manhood he was, how kind and considerate, how unselfish and helpful. Here was a man who had spent nearly the whole of a score of years in ardent athletic pursuits, either as actual contestant in the field or engaged in the work of preparing others for contests, who was possessed of, and exercised, the finest virtues that go to make the manly man, the true gentleman. The boys at O. A. C. thought the world of him; he was as a father to them. Not a one but loved “Dad” from his heart and would have done anything to please him. Was any lad in trouble, “Dad” must know it and give advice. Were any favors wanted from the regents, the President or the faculty, “Dad” must act as their spokesman and support them in their request. He was the idol of the boys; he had their hearts and they trusted him implicitly. As a physical trainer the College never had his equal. His knowledge of the physical powers or possibilities of any human body was phenomenal; it amounted to intuition. Months ahead he could predict the track record of any boy whom he had taken in hand. He always insisted, although bystanders would invariably shake their heads, that Forrest Smithson would some day develop into a champion hurdler. He developed Williams, Greenhaw, Schroeder, Davolt, Swann and all the other crack runners, hurdlers and basket ball players. “Dad” was never known to use a rough word, do or tolerate an ungentlemanly act or allow any unfairness in a contest if it was within his power to prevent such. His influence for good, for fair play and clean sport, not only at O. A. C. but throughout the state, and even the Northwest, was such that the sporting interests of this great Northwest of ours could well afford to place a suitable monument upon his lonely grave. Surely, in his place, he was a good man and true; we shall not soon look on his like again. NEWPORT . FWPORT! Ye place of raging storms and quiet love scenes, of “clam if dies” and “surf frolics,” your duration shall long be cherished in the C hearts of those who have departed from our Alma Mater. Among the beautiful Rhododendrons that clothe your sandy dunes in a mantle of pink and ereen are shady nooks where many an ardent Senior or enthusiastic Freshman has received the inspiration of his life. Only your billowy waves can tell of their blasted hopes or their joyous successes. On the morn of the great day, the scene at the depot is one of excitement and jollification. The crowd is fast gathering in the grey twilight of the morning; a motley assembly, full of anticipation for the pleasures of the day. The Senior who is the hero of the day is there with his favorite lady. The sporty Soph, appears in holiday costume. The camera strap over his shoulder, the gun, the fishing-rod, and other accouterments gives him the appearance of the lusty pleasure seeker. The “Rook,” flushed with excitement, is there with the girl he knew in his home town. She has prepared a lavish spread for the occasion and daintily packed it in a basket, which swings from her arm. The Junior, too, is there with all of the cares of the day thrown aside. He, too, not to be outdone by his fellow-classmen, has provided for two seats in the long string of excursion coaches. The small select company is present with its ever watchful and entertaining chaperon. The fond mamma, whose ticket has been provided by a would-be son-in-law, is expectantly awaiting the start. The family of home folks, who are taking their annual holiday, are clustered excitedly round a large lunch basket. The careful camera fiend is there with his best machine; set and ready for a picture. The smiling “Prof.” lends his enthusiasm to the occasion by his dry jokes and assumed levity. The botanist and zoologist are there with collecting cases, bug bottles and animal preservers, umbrellas, overcoats, gum boots, nets, steel traps, harpoons and what not. With a shrill whistle the long train pulls into the station and all scramble madly for places, rhe great festal day of the year has fairly commenced. ross hk over e mountains; the approach to the mighty pond; the ride fno- Wn� '6 while the hilarious Seniors dangle their bare toes in the caress- th? nvnif’ an the philanthTopically inclined “Rook” casts food to the fishes; evenintr i lent °f the day’s adventures; the return in the twilight of the when all are tired but happy are things which must be experienced to be appreciated. No other event of the year is so popular; no other event breathes so much of the optomistic side of life. From the early “Good Morning” of the assembling friends to the parting caress of the lovers in the grey cold dawn of the following morning, all is one grand festival of gay merriment and good-will. Here then is to the success of these great events, to the instigators of the Senior Excursion, to the Seniors who make it possible each year, to the girls whose gay laughter and pleasing frolics lend joy to the occasion, and to the old Pacific—“the biggest thing out of doors.” Junip-off J0se. Junior Prom. A ONE ACT DRAMA REPARATIONS WERE in full sway for one of the greatest social functions during the year. There was a certain ele- ment of anxious anticipation which seemed to permeate the atmosphere of the spaciously decorated halls, due, perhaps, to the fact that every “Rook,” as well as every upper classman, was expected to appear on the much talked of occasion, with a fairy on his arm. It is not strange then, that a certain short, fleshy individual should repair to his room and ponder over the prospect of his “winning a home.” Both of his ponderous feet were perched upon the radiator as he calmly soliloquized upon the virtues and attributes of each name in a list of feminine “beauties” which he had scribbled upon a piece of paper. He admitted to himself that the choice was difficult to make, and later, as he coolly selected his companion for the joyous event, the choosing took on the aspect of a one act drama, as follows: Ha! thou’rt a winsome thing, I wis. Fain from thee would I steal a kiss. Of all the girls thou’rt sure most jolly, Perchance I’ll sign for thee, by golly. But no, I do not like thy mouth, Thy smile would have me going south. There’s too much mischief in thine eye,— To thee I’ll have to say good-bye. (Exit N----.) You’re fair no doubt, (to others’ eyes.) I can’t see where your beauty lies. Then, too, you have ungainly feet, And I like something small and neat. Besides you’re just a bit too fat,— Your hair is frowzy and all that. Long have I looked at you askance, Farewell, you haven’t got a chance. (Exit K-----.) ACT I. Scene I.—The Campus. (Fair damsels pass in review. Enter first.) The Individual— (Enter second.) The Individual— (Enter third.) The Individual— Here have I found a gem at last. Good luck to me, the die is cast. But stay! You passed me by today, Nor even smiled, nor looked my way; Think you, my conscience is of brass, And treat me not as frailest glass. You’re haughty, that is plain to see. ’Tis clear, you’ll never do for me. (Exit P----.) (Enter fourth.) The Individual— Oh! R------, how fair you are to see, No sweeter flower grows than thee; Perchance you wish to win my heart, And pierce me through with Cupid’s dart. If you get me, you must hustle, I’ll not be won without a tussle. It matters not how sweet you are, I’d rather view thee from afar. (Exit R-----.) (Enter fifth.) The Individual— Your sparkling eyes would charm the moon; Outshine the solar orb at noon. You’re graceful as the timid fawn And fairer than the blush of dawn. To win affection in your heart, One from his money needs to part. I’m overburdened not with “dough,” So I will have to let you go. (Exit J-----.) (Enter sixth.) The Individual— Here’s one with whom no fault I find, — She’s fair and gentle, sweet and kind. She is a winsome, charming belle, And round my heart she’s cast a spell. How proud I’ll be when I am seen, The escort of so fair a queen. With me she will be glad to go, I’ll sign up now and let her know. (Exit M----.) Scene II.—Room in Cauthorn Hall. (Enter Ind. Slams door, pounds radiator, and grunts disgustedly.) The Individual— What fools we mortals are. Here I have been in an agony of suspense this whole week, waiting vainly for her acceptance and no news yet! Well, we’ll see. She who refuses me shall rue the day! It shall mark an epoch in her career; it shall be graven upon her memory in letters of fire, and shall be an accusing finger to haunt her through all the days of her life. She shall be called to account for my blasted hopes and happiness! Only too late will she discover what it means if she refuses me. (Knock at the door. Enter postman with a small missive.) The Postman— Here is a letter for you. Methinks it is a harbinger of good news and joy. The Individual— Give it to me! (Opens letter in haste.) Ha! my forebodings have come true! Turned down! Lemons! Tangerines!! 23 Skidoo for me!! Ah, fair maiden you shall suffer for this. May my discomfort be a hideous night-mare for you, and may sleep never again court your pillow until my wounded heart is healed. But I have yet a consolation. There are just as good fish in the sea as were ever caught. Noble thought! I’ll invite another fair lady who will be exceedingly pleased to have my company. (Sits down and pens an invitation.) Scene III.—Another room in Cauthorn Hall. (Individual at telephone.) The Individual— Hello! Yes—what—who is it—no—er—yes—. What!— Can’t go! Sufferin’ snakes! Good-bye! (Slams up the receiver and dashes into hall.) Oh! those female girls! What abominations they are. ’Tis no wonder that so many promising flowers of manhood wither so soon. Such reverses are but the precursors of mental insolvency. They go hand in hand with despondency and despair. But—Ah, banish the thought! Purged be my mind of these forebodings lest I awake to find myself incarcerated in the “bug house.” (Individual goes to the reception in “single-blessedness,” and has a “way up time.”) Evolution of Woman. h2o There’s a certain composition, In that stuff called HO; That makes it certainly essential, Every place that we may go. It’s a tonic for the “Rooky,” And a weapon for the “Soph.,” Here it comes down some in winter, When the wind blows from the south. There’s a certain old tradition, That is fostered at the “Shack,” Of this stuff and its commission Thrown down in a paper sack. Often when the day is waning, And our guardian wanders near, We produce a bag of water, And we drop it on his ear. Or when all is still and darkness, If he lingers on the stair, We fill up our bowls and pitchers And we drown him then and there. i . Let us preserve this ancient custom, It makes men equal at the “Shack” When a fellow gets too sporty, Up and spot him with a sack. “IRISH” O’ROURKEY ON THE PHYSICAL LABORATORY “And pwhat is this Physics Lab. that yez be talkin’ so much about?” asked Mr. Hensley. “Th’ Physics Laberitory, Hensely,” answered Mr. O’Rourkey, “is the latest produckt of scientifick thot. It is a cros betwane a sunsit on the Pacifick an’ a surprise partie on th’ pracher. “Yez inter the lab bakwards, on your tip toes with both eyes shet.

But there came no interference, Nothing but the disappearance Of the calm and tranquil smile on Johnson’s face, As I calmly took my place there, Gazing sweetly on his face there, And began to wield the pointer with much grace. Johnson’s eyes began to twinkle, And his brows began to wrinkle, All because forsooth, I didn’t know the rule. But to me, it wasn’t funny, I’d have given lots of money Just to be about a thousand miles from school. But a sudden inspiration Came, and ’twas my sole salvation; After that ’twas all as plain as plain could be. As I finished up completely, Johnson smiled at me so sweetly, That I could not realize that it was he. HAZING ABOLISHED THE UNSOPHISTICATED ARK EMANCIPATED—A D THAT WILL LIVE LONG IN THE HEARTS OF FRESHMEN AT 0. A. C. O. A. C. Assembly, 11:35 A. M.—'Mid a great burst of enthusiasm, the joyous tears of the faculty, and the delighted howls of the frenzied “Rook,” the students of 0. A. C. abolished hazing, pronouncing it, “a barbaric custom designedly practiced upon a downtrodden genera.” The resolutions, which for ever free the “Rooks” from the nefarious practices of the wily “Sophs.” are as follows: I. Freshmen shall be treated with all due courtesy by the Sophomores. Each upper classman shall, upon meeting a Freshman, bow thrice and remove his cap. II. Freshmen shall be met at the depot by the Bon-bon Committee, which committee shall see that a special cab is secured for their accommodation. No stronger terms than “0! Slush,” “0! Fudge” or “Fruit Cake” shall be used in their presence. III. The Bon-bon Committee shall also see that each Freshman shall be presented with a bottle of Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup on Matriculation Day. IV. At all social events, nutritious milk shall be served to the Fresh men in a special apparatus with attached nipples, to avoid the possibility of soiling their delicate raiments.

OFFICE: DIPPY'S RETREAT ADVICE FROM THE EDITOR [In this department are considered all the perplexing and bewildering questions relating to connubial bliss and hymeneal happiness, which daily confront our readers. Careful and valuable, scientific advice will be rendered to any who are so unfortunate as to meet with sponsal or matrimonial difficulties. Each correspondent by sending us a dollar, will receive a copy of the up-to-date treatise on, “A Few Don’ts About Making a Stand” (by Sherman Brown.)—The Editor. Do you suppose my mother would object to another “try-out” such as I conducted some time ago. —Marion. You should ask your mother if you are in doubt. But if you find it to be a successful method of ascertaining the true worth of some people, by all means, do not discard the system entirely. It is my ardent desire to obtain if possible your exact conception of the theory, advanced by our old friend Socrates, and so heartily endorsed by all the great men who have gone before us in the paths of life, which, to speak figuratively, questions the advisability of twaddling through a hole in the wall. —John G. Some men have the facility of deceiving part of the people all of the time. But a man of your narrow limit can not hope to “keep company” with seven girls in succession and keep the eighth, who is only one hundred miles away, in ignorance of his doings. I speak plainly and directly to the point, which I believe you wished me to do. Remember! This is an age of specialties. For some time past I have been more or less connected with a publication called the “Currinsville Budget.” I desire to quit the business and have resigned. My Chief Pressman “Corky P.” is the next in order for the position, and I take great pleasure in recommending him through your columns. Yours, —Jack Hanny. P. S.—My reasons for resigning are these: Instead of going to press at the end of each week as customary, I tried to put out a few extras and the whole thing was a failure. —J. H. Your conduct is so surprising and extraordinary that I am inclined to believe that you are not quite frank with me. Perhaps it was “freedom” of the “Press,” and of speech, that caused you to resign. If the “Press” objected to special editions, you should not have pressed the “Press.” Do you make special rates for “Want Ads.” in your columns? I am desirous of starting a boarding house that will be a home for those whose affections have been trifled with. To make this enterprise a success I must have a good, polite and mild tempered “Cook.” Can you assist me in any way? —Georgia Ewing. Though your request is a little out of my line, I can be of some service to you. I can conscientiously recommend the “Cook” of Cauthorn Hall, who, by the way, has had the mumps, and is at times intelligent and trustworthy. Dear Editor: Eugene, Oregon. It is with humility, yet from a sense of duty, that I must call attention to the actions of one of your worthy Seniors. If it had been a Freshman, or even a Junior, the offense would have been less noticeable, but for a Senior to act in such a manner, stultifying the confidence of the entire college, it is time such conduct be brought to the notice of faculty and students. But who is the guilty one, and what has he done?—It is one who has virtually posed as an example before his fellow-students by selecting a “Star” (of the college) as the zenith of his ambitions, and to all intent, was guided by that radiant light with a constancy that never wavered. But then—a visit to Eugene, and his “Star(r)” was seemingly forgotten. He was away from the reproving looks of the students; away from that “one” which had hitherto been his beacon-light, and his thoughts, tender looks, and loving words were bestowed upon another. Not only a telephone girl, but “ ’varsity,” High School and even the little girls, were made happy by his smiles—and “Bon Bons.” I have told you enough. You know the party. He is still with you. Can you not help him to reform? Morally yours, —Tattler. We sincerely believe that the case of our friend Mr. Melhase has reached that stage where measures for reform are unnecessary. He has already seen the error of his ways and is not likely to again stray from the straight and narrow path. Now see here, Mr. Editor; if you were a football hero, and you had two girls, and one had the prettiest black eyes, that haunted you in your dreams, and the other was sweet and nice to have around, which one would you cake? Tell me that, will you? Tubby. In a case of that kind, I would refrain from making the choice for fear of showing partiality. The two ladies in question would no doubt be pleased to draw straws to see “whose should be the honor,” for this is leap year. Do you consider it worth the waiting for a man to finish his college career before entering into marriage relations? —Claud D. By no means. Matrimony first, and the ways and means of living will take care of themselves. Is there anything improper in holding hands in the Library? I have looked it up in all the books of etiquette and I can find nothing that condemns such an action. —Belle B. It should not be considered improper—that is, if the audience is not too large. Could you furnish me with some clue as to “why it is that I am constantly beset by widows.” —Zack Taylor. I consider your question a serious one. Instead of answering it directly I find it necessary to suggest a remedy. Consult the glass frequently until you are thoroughly acquainted with yourself. Diet yourself on pickles at all times. Be conventional. The Willamette in Autumn THINGS UNEXPLAINED Why “Bones” gave Kerr an “A” in “Railroads.” Why the Stork visited Cauthorn Hall so early in the morning. Why shorter lessons are given in Spanish. Why “Christy” tried to commit suicide. Why John Melhase goes out at night. Why P. H. is not Secretary to the President. Why Mamie prays with her face toward the South. Why “Red” Clark has never won a home. Why the girls of Waldo do not like prunes. Why Winniford likes soap chocolates. Why “Dippy’s Retreat” had their hair cut. Why Homer Wall bought a corset. Why Davidson, Rhodruck Co. had a fire in their ward-robo. Why the Student Building is not erected.

Those boys look like a fright.” osr Mnilfl LONG TALES MADE SHORT WHO DID IT? HE “Rook” was a brilliant specimen of his kind, tall and sparely built, and wearing a somber expression. His flowing locks and genial prominence of hands and feet reminded one of a young pelican, learning for the first time to operate the anatomy of his lateral extremities. The girls at Waldo received him graciously. He had come to sing for them. He was escorted through spacious halls, along dark corridors, up narrow flights of stairs, into dark corners and out again—always in silence. At last he was ushered into a small, dimly lighted room with a single, wide window. The girls stood in an expectant circle about him, every ribbon alert, every ruffle fluttering. Suddenly some one approached him from the side. He felt a slight breath on his cheek. Two bud-like lips approached his cheek, met it, became more firm, and finally parted in a delicious smack. At the same time he was precipitated bodily through the open window, and arose outside, kissed—bewildered—stung.

Fourth question: “Give a word picture of the heaven of flowers and fruit and bright-eyed maidens which the Koran promised to the faithful”—Everybody ready for the last question: “Describe a Medieval wind-mill.”—Here you lads in the back row, just pass around quietly and gather up the papers.—Now lads I want to see you all back next term with a smiling countenance and a fresh note book.

Dear Mr. Callaway: It is my wish and urgent request that you do not let anything get into The Orang about my apartments being condemned by the health inspector. Blanche J. Editor Junior Annual. Esteemed Friend: If you value your life do not mention my being an Editor in your book. Yours sincerely, Jack Hanny. The Orange. Dear Callaway: If anything comes in about me being in love, just throw it in the waste-basket, will you? It is a fault that I cannot help, and I do not relish being joked about it. Cook. Editor of The Orange. Dear Mr. Callaway: Please, Mr. Callaway, do not mention anything in The Orange about me growing. I know you will not. Yours affectionately, Minnie Diven. Editor of The Orange. If you allow anything to creep into The Orange about my being connected with the Music and Language departments, I will drill you in the rear rank. It is all off now anyway. Yours, Chas. Hayes. Dear Callaway: Say, old man, please keep quiet about my being in the photographic business. That joke has been sprung enough. E. A. Hudson. Editor ’09 Annual. Dear Mr. Callaway: I wish you would not let it get into The Orange that I am a professional baseball player, as the game has no fascination for me. Rilla Thomson. Dear Mr. Callaway: John and I will be your friend for life if you will not let any of those old jokes about us be printed in the Annual. Grace Starr. Dear Callaway: Be careful that Kate and Faye never learns from you that I drew those pictures of them. I am afraid they would strike me off from their list of friends. Bob Bower. Editor of The Orange. Dear Sir: Please place my picture with those of the athletes, as I wish to obtain an athletic reputation. I expect to be in London this summer and shall attend the Olympic games. If you will grant my request I will be insured of a hearty reception. Hoping you will kindly consider this matter, I beg to remain, Yours sincerely, J. B. Horner. Dear Editor: Please do not allow my name to get into The Orange under the title of “Duke of Waldo.” I am about to fall a victim to the wiles of American girls as it is. Respectfully yours, Harold Davis. Mr. Editor: There is a limit to all things, and Fox tells me you stole that picture, he took of me trimming my toe nails. If you put that in the Annual, your name is m-u-d—mud. Hans Anderson. Editor Junior Annual. Dear Friend Callaway: I know that you witnessed the little incident in the Pharmacy Lab. when I caught the mups from “Slick” Rosendorf. You will do me a favor by keeping it out of the Annual. Will a Tuttle. Editor Junior Annual. Dear Editor: Kindly put my picture in with the “naughty nines,” for, if I am not a Junior, I aught to be. Yours truly, A. J. Evans. There once was an editor bold, Who liked people to do as he told. But alas, and alack, He was “canned” from the shack, And all of his goods, they were sold. He printed a book that’s a sham, But it took all he had in his can. His blood turned to ink, And he’s dead now 1 think, This wonderful editor man. _ for the Orange Mixing Dope f Our days smacked not of pleasure, Our nights have seemed all days, Our friends have ceased to greet us, Because of our erring ways. Ere the scorn of public opinion Compels us to hastily fly, We wish to venture a parting shot, And kindly say, “Good-bye.” THE LAST SHOT EFORE we close the pages of this volume, we wish to ex-press our heart-felt thanks to those who have contributed SQ liberally to the literary and art departments, and to our honorable President for the liberal support he has extended to our enterprise. We hope, kind reader, that you have found nothing within these pages which in any way reflects upon your character, or causes you to feel “hard hit.” But if such you should find, we beg of you to have compassion on the poor “demented” Editors. Consider that they have braved the wrath of the “Profs” in the face of a score of “Flunks,” that they have often been forced to burn the “midnight oil” in an effort to depict some phase of college life in flaring colors; that their path has been strewn not with roses, but with sharp stones and envious thistles, that their trials and tribulations were many, and their joys and pleasures few. You should not judge them, kind reader, by their works, for they are but humans, and “it is human to err.” Hoping that your criticism will be relenting and free from rigor or any arbitrary assertion of personal taste, we wish to record a final plea for mercy, and close the book. The Editors. A NEW ORGANIZATION EVERY nation, every commonwealth, has its infirmities in the shape of human vampires. For example, the United States has its Carrie Nation, and the Oregon Agricultural College has its Sophomores. Therefore, be it known, that there has existed in our midst, a crying need for an organization which will successfully eradicate a great evil here extant. Accordingly, some of the most thoughtful and far-seeing men in our midst have come together and deliberated at length on the subject. Then it was, that the I. P. L.—The Innocents Protection League—sprang into existence. The League has for its object, the uplifting of down-trodden innocents. None but Freshmen are eligible to membership and the corps of officials, detectives, and experienced advisors are chosen by a standard of ability, experience, and integrity. The scheme for protection against the wiles of the offending rabble is simple, but effective. The room cf each member is provided with a push button connecting with the head office of the Vigilantes. The doors and windows are barricaded with heav.y bars, and each detective on guard below possesses a shrill whistle. Upon the approach of a Sophomore or any questionable character, a shrill blast from the detective’s whistle arouses the intended victim, who immediately presses the button and the Vigilantes Committee arrives in double time, being admitted by a secret door. The visitor is then ushered in, guarded by a cordon of detectives, kitchen “mechanics,” janitors, bell-boys, and neighbors. First, the visitor is searched for any concealed stove polish, water-bags, ammonia guns, or “ancient eggs.” He is then required to stand in the position of a soldier, salute his intended victim, and to carry on all conversation by proxy. A newly invented machine called the Gyrantescope, which is concealed in a niche in the wall, makes a complete record of all that is said and done, by preparing moving picture slides and recording every word spoken. If any decaying vegetation, stove polish, or stale eggs are found on the person of the visitor, these are taken in hand by the kitchen “mechanics,” and soon they are prepared into a delicate repast, which the visitor is required to partake of freely. The honored guest then recites three stanzas of “I’d Rather Be a Private than a Corporal,” after which he is asked to “call again,” led to the door by his nasal extremity, and his exit assisted by nimble but unrelenting feet.
