Subscription Manager 2rd Foreword In presenting the Reed College Annual as the first attempt to giv a ful and grafic account: of Reed College life from the student viewpoint we are conscius 0f humerus faults and de- Eciencies in the publication. The greater part of these ar due to our inexperience, t0 the limited amount of time which could be devoted to the 'work of preparing the Annual, and t0 the difficulty of including in a single volume all the important events of the four years of the student body's existence. W'e hav-pland to present the material in the most concise and simple form, and with perhaps more seriusness than is customary in college yearbooks, believing that. this being the case, the Annual wil be appreciated by a larger circle of readers. XVe take this opportunity to express thanks to the students who hav contributed and to those members of the faculty who hav helpt with material, suggestions and advice. iVe are also grateful to Miss Edith McDonald for assistance in typing, and t0 Lindsley Ross for his untiring work in the collection and arrangement of the fotografs used in illustrating the book.

The present trustees are Dr. Thomas Lamb Eliot, Mr. William Parker Olds, Honorable Charles Edwin VVOlverton, Mr. VVill- iam Mead Ladd, and Mr. James Bremer Kerr. After investigation of the educational needs and facilities of this section of the cuntry, and after secur- ing the expert and learned advice of the General E d u c a t i 0 11 Board, the trustees de- cided that the best use of the Reed endowment could be effected thru a college of arts and sci- ences requiring the com- pletion of a secondary scool course for admis- sion, and offering four- year courses leading to a bachelor's degree. The question of the selection of a campus was settled by the clona- tion of a tract of forty acres within three and a DR. THOMAS LAMB ELIOT First President of Board of Trustees half miles of the center of Portland by the Ladd Estate Com- pany, and the purchase of forty-six acres adjoining the donated land. In June. 1910, Dr. William Trufant Foster was elected president. On September eighteenth, 1911, the first Clas of fifty students, twenty-six men and twenty-four women, began college work in a bilding constructed for the temporary use of the college at the corner of Eleventh and Jefferson streets. On January twelfth, 1912, ground was broken for the first col- lege bildings. On May eleventh, 1912, the corner-stone of the Arts Bilding was laid, and on June eighth the corner-stone 0f the dormitory was laid. The second year of instruction and the hrst year of the college in its permanent location began with a registration of a hundred nineteen students.

The campus is a sightly, wel-draind tract of 9 medo and woodland with plenty of room for ath- letic fields, tennis courts, parks and Hower gardens. The bildings and equipment, tho necessarily inade- quate in some cases to meet the demands which a more extensiv college plant would 131, 3r modern and hrst-clas in every respect. The whole plan of grounds and bildings for the Reed College of the future. with the advantage of location and the sanity with which the first steps wer pland for foundations, presents un- equald Opportunities for artists and filanthropists. The recreational delights of the campus ar not overlookt by its inhabitants. Crystal Springs Lake, tho just outside the limits of the college property, is available for safe canoeing since the removal or liiarking'of dangerus snags in the shallo parts. The recently improved swimming-pool in the ravine which divides the campus promises enthusiastic indulgence in another aquatic exercise. The strip of woods along the ravine offers attractions for strollers. Numerus birds, several varie- ties of wild Howers, mossy logs, and the song of the brook ar appeals to the minds of the esthete and the hart of the nature- lover. On warm spring days the several acres of lawn around the bildings and along the driveway ar dotted with groups of collegians, reading, conversing or resting. Architecturally the college bildings leave little to be de- sired. The architects, Messrs. Doyle, Patterson and Beach, combined in the two permanent bildings alredy erected, the Arts Bilding and the dormitory, a high degree of usefulness and a clever individuality of design. Comprehensiv study of the best practises in American scoolebilding construction has insured efficient lighting, ventilation and sanitation. A sympathetic treatment of the best models of the Gothic architecture of Eng- lish universities, churches and private houses, has given the bildings a good deal of the atmosfere 0f sixteenth century OX- ford without any sacrihce of individuality in design. The Chapel, which occupies the west end of the third and fourth floors of the Arts Bilding, and the chapel entrance and stairway in the west wing of the bilding, ar, as a unit, per- haps the best example of the architects' work with English models. The chapel entrance to the bilding is after the doorway of the Pilgrim's In, the only part intact at the ruins of Gaston- hury Abby, near London. The loer hallway, with the library door, the stuccoed walls, and archt alcoves, is designd on the lines of the inner entrance to the Cloisters 0f the Westminster Abby Church. The upper hall with the high beamd wood ceiling HI REED COLLEGE ABHWJAL K as. am v-n d raaz- DH 1; n g: z: I a yiimagffiftfgfrfjj r- unrv 5r:5;:3'9':':35'3?9?;!;:T: 1'1 A is a reminder of gild halls in Yorkshire. The design of the chapel itself, especially the paneld walls and the hevy-beamd ceiling, is taken from the Great Hall of Hampden Court Place near Lon- don, which was bilt in 1536. The whole effect of this blending of secular and sacred architecture is 3 Chapel which is neither incongruus with academic tradition nor out of keeping with the sober uses to which the room is occasionally put. The future development of the campus with the growth of the college largely depends, of course, upon the liberality of those men of means who at interested in what the college is doing. That whatever additions may he made to the present equipment either for academic or residential use wil not be out of place in a unified scheme of architectural grouping, a plan for the development of the entire campus has been prepared. The principle of the scheme is a quadrangular grouping of bilda ings around larger and smaller Open spaces. The principal quadrangles in this plan at the group of bildings for instruc- tional purposes on the east end of the south half of the campus, and the group of residential structures directly west which ine cludes a site for a college union after the English university pattern. The ground north of the ravine, now unimproved, is reservd for coordinate scientific and professional scools and the College for Women. A consistent plan of this kind, even tho sketchy, insures freedom from the perpetuation of mis- placements in college architecture which frequently caracterize the campuses of American colleges. 1915 . k w .Wv LOER CHAPEL HALLTVAY l :hpgr-gent-t-E-ui - .Tu-gi t.-.-.-. :5..'a-n.;u 3;;-;.;.;'..h.

But in spite of this fact, many of the J present student activities had their beginnings in the crampt and inconvenient temporary quarters 1 on Jefferson street. Student government was organized, the a honor principle was adopted, and the beginnings of an athletic . system wer workt out. . It is tru that, for the first semester, athletics outside of tennis consisted, for the men, mainly of playing ttNigger Baby,y . I on the curb, and, for the women, of Walking around the block; but, when the Multnomah Club was opend to the Reed College . I students, more strenuug forms of exercise wer begun. Chapel servises wer held from the very first, but the matter of attendance soon constituted a problem. Tho chapel was never compulsory, a large part of the students went regularly. However, there wer occasions when the attendance outside the doors, which wer kept lockt during chapel time, was almost as large as that inside. A vote was taken among the students to discover whether or not, in their opinion, the servises should be continued. The result was a unanimus decision in favor of chapel, and a greatly increast attendance. The place of FIRST HOME OF REED COLLEGE Ii .xxxi EREED COLLEGE ANNUAL 1915 l7l assembly was really nothing more than a poorly lighted store- room, bare and unlovely when compared with the present Chapel; but there was, in those first gatherings, a spirit of en- thusiasm and earnestness of purpose which made the partici- pants forget all about the unplesantness of their surroundings. Tho social life was stil in a state of primitiv simplicity ; several successful parties wer given during the year. Dancing was an art little known to a large number of the students, and, in spite of the efforts of a few, who tried to promote interest in it, was kept in the background at all social gatherings. The question of the social independence of woman was partially solvd by what was nown as tithe lottery system? The first hint of the feminist movement came with two speakers who tried with seemingly fruitless efforts to enroll the women of the college in the cause of equal suffrage. Towards the end of the second semester the first clas watcht with increasing interest the beginnings of operations on the permanent college bildings. The hrst breaking of ground and the laying of the cornerstones of the Arts Bilding and 0f the dormitory wer accompanied by ceremonies in which the students took a prominent part. All plans for the future wer Shared between faculty and students and both lookt forward with equal enthusiasm to the delights of being on a real campus the folloing year. THE SECOND YEAR With the fall of 1912, work in the new quarters began in earnest. The size of the group was doubled and several new faculty members wer added. The Chapel was completed and dedicated and work on the grounds and bildings continued, fre- quently t0 the interruption of lectures. Mud was one of the most prominent features of the campus. About the middle of the term the fever for organization began to be felt and numerus clubs sprang into existence, almost over night. Many of these hav survived, tho the functions of some hav been taken over by larger bodies, while others hav ontgmwn their usefulness and hav disappeard. Two matters wer much discnst, the question of whether or not the women should go to college functions without escorts and the question of grades. Both finally reacht a peaceful set- tlement. The college and the city came more and more into con- tact with each other. Several of the college men took activ parts in the political meetings which preceded the adoption of Portland's commission form of government and many new frends wer gaind for the institution by the Conference on the Conservation of Human Life, held on the campus in May. The corns which had been going thrn a rigid course of training, under Mr. Barlow. hnisht up the year in a burst of glory by the effectiv singing of Liza Lehmannls III a PM'sian Garden. I81 REED THE THIRD YEAR By the time the third year of college history was reacht student affairs wer becoming more and more organized. The Quest, which had been issued every two weeks the preceding semester, became a weekly, and was put on a more efficient basis by the adoption of a charter. Dramatics, interest in which had been aroused by the formation of the Drama Club the year before, receivd a fresh stimulus thru the presence of Professor Hammond. The completion of the gymnasium added new vigor t0 the athletic life of the college and made possible several untried forms of sport. In order to stir up college spirit in a new way, a rally was pland early in the second semester. This gathering was instru- mental in arousing a genuin and spontaneus enthusiasm which was a surprise even to those who manifested it. A good part of the spring term was spent in getting redy for the performance of Antigone which came just before the second conference. This Portland 1915 Conference was even more successful than the one of the previus year, and attracted wide attention thruout the city. By this time social life at the college was becoming more complex. Dancing had come to be a popular form of amuse- ment and numerus dances wer given. The democracy of some of these parties was questiond and the matter was made the subject of many a lengthy argument among the students. COLLEGE ANNUAL 4- 1915 The sanguinary mystery of the Arts bildings was another nine days, wonder, but it was soon forgotten in the stres of examination week. THE FOURTH YEAR Last fall the college Opend its doors for the first time to a student body consisting of four classes, and the upperclasmen became seniors in name as wel as in responsibility. The first intercollegiate debates wer held in January, and the Reed men came out victorius. The enthusiasm which fol- loed the decision of the judges wil not soon be forgotten by those who wer on the campus at the time. During the first semester interest in the feminist movement was increasing among the women. Symposia wer held on the subject and books upon feminism wer in demand from the library. Even some of the stand-patters began to waver in their firmness against the independence of woman, economically, politically, and socially. In the meantime, however, classes in modern dancing in the gymnasium wer being wel attended, and a markt increase in the enthusiasm for new steps was manifest. For a short time dancing became one of the most prominent extra-curricular activities. It was later superseded, however, dramatics taking its place in popularity. ,T'r. REED COLLEGE ANNUAL 4- 1915 I91 Immediately after spring vacation the seniors created a loed by further preparations for the final ceremonies, and hurry by appearing at chapel in their caps and gowns. This graduation occupied the center of the stage for the remaining hrst indication that commencement time was at hand was fol- weeks of the semester.

In student affairs Mr. Boddy has been especially promi- nent as one of the framers of the Student Council Charter, and as the only person who ever has servd or, according to the pres- ent constitution, ever can serv as a member of that body during his entire course at the college. He was editor of the Quest during the second semester of 1913-1914. Mr. Boddy's wide range of experience has given him an independence of thought and of action which is the striking side of his nature. A wel-founded self-coniidence and a maturity of judgment caracterize his work. m Eunice Townsend graduated from Lincoln High Scool in 1911 and enterd Reed with the first clas that fall. Altho Miss Townsend has done her major work in the Department of Psycology, she has shown an equal interest in biology and is an COLLEGE ANNUAL .;. 1915 able representativ of both departments. At present, in collab- oration with others, she is at work on a problem of seeing whether there is a correlation between unemployment and men- tal deficiency. Miss Townsend was a member of the corus for two and a half years and has belongd t0 the Current Events Club and the Drama Club. Her dominant interest, however, is in athletics. During her sofomore year she was a member of the clas basket- ball and track teams. She is also a senior representativ on the Athletic Council, and has under her especial charge the record of all the womens athletic events. In whatever field her interests lie, she has proved a systematic, careful and persistent worker. After graduation, Miss Town- send wil teach and carry 011 graduate work in experimental psyeology. REED COLLEGE ANNUAL .;. 1915 I571 SENIOR STATISTICS NTERESTING results wer obtaind from a list of 1 questions given to the members of the senior clas. Out of the forty-eight members of the clas, thirty- Fg? three anserd these questions. The inquiries wer 3 given to obtain opinions of the graduating clas con- LVJQ cerning different college activities and also a few general facts concerning themselvs. Out of the thirty-three who anserd, twelv wer born in Oregon, six in XNashington, flve in Iowa, two each in Minne- sota and Kansas, while California, Colorado, Nebraska, Ohio, Massachusetts and Illinois each hav one representativ. Of the thirty-three, only one started to scool at four years of age, three wer five, thirteen wer six, fwe wer six and a half, five wer seven, three wer eight, two wer nine, while one did not start until he was twelv. Only thirteen of the number spent their allotted eight years in grammar scool, eight spent seven years, three spent six years, three spent five years, one spent four years, and two wer there but three years. Twenty-two took the usual four years for their high-scool work, four took four and a half years, while one completed the course in three and a half years and one in three years. Nine of the thirty- three attended private scools. We find one student spending ten years at these seools, one spending eight years, and one spend- ing six, while the others spent les than four years. Eight went thru their preparatory work without missing a year, four- teen mist a year or les, five wer out two years, one mist two and a half years, one mist three and a half years, two mist four years, and one mist five and a half years. Some of the reasons for coming to college ar enlighten- ing as wel as interesting. One came because she liked to study and never thought of not coming. Another came for no reason in particular. One came because of family tradition; another, at the wishes of parents. One came because she wanted to go a year or two more and considerd Reed an excellent Chance. A general idea that it was the best thing to do brought one stu- dent. One came to learn some facts, meet some students and kno some teachers. One came becausexshe wanted to become more efficient, appreciativ and useful. An evident feminist says she came because she thought every woman should hav an edu- cation. About half of the ansers said llfor more knoledge'v and about two-thirds of these wanted to apply this knoledge to some special work; ten hav not changed their views since coming, six changed somewhat, while seven hav changed entirely. The University of California would hav drawn the largest number of the senior clas, twelV stating that they would hav gon there if not to Reed; four would hav chosen the University of Wash- ington; two would hav preferd Stanford, while Harvard, Princeton, Mount Holyoke and Western College would each hav drawn one. Only two would hav Chosen other Oregon col- leges, the University of Oregon being the only one mentiond. I581 REED COLLEGE ANNUAL 4- 1915 The Choice of subjects presents several interesting facts. One hundred and sixty-two semesters of work wer completed in the modern languages, while but forty semesters wer taken in the ancient languages. The combined totals of fysics, chem- istry and biology wer but slightly in excess of several special subjects, as education, mathematics, psycology and sociology, while English outdru the three sciences. Twenty-six of the thirtyethree took no college work in the decl languages, while every one took at least one semester of a modern language, tho five took les than two years work in them. Every one took two semesters of English, while all but three took more than one year. Ten took no college mathematics, three took no psy- cology, twelv no education, three no sociology, four no sciences, and nine no history. The matter of the most and least valuable, the hardest and easiest courses brought forth varied replies. Four and a half votes each wer given to sociology and education as the most valuable, four to English and biology, and two and a half to psycology. Six thought history the least valuable, Eve math- ematics, while two each said education, German and French. Nine voted mathematics the hardest subject, four voted for German, two and a half for psycology, and two each for chem- istry and hlosofy. English was considerd the easiest by nine, history by four and college life by three. Every one of the thirtyethree ansers exprest approval of the Reed electiv system,etho eight offercl suggestions for its nu .;. .....-.e. l . -, l,-.;:J;xv.:xt.l---e. L. W..- . tn... improvement. Two thought there was a danger of over-spe- Cialization, while two thought college life should not be compul- sory. One thought natural science should be made compul- sory, and another said the course should not be a prerequisit for fysics, chemistry and biology. The other two favord re- quired psycology and filosofy respectivly. Twenty-four considerd the working of the honor system satisfactory, while eight wer somewhat doutful. Several sug- gestions for improvement wer made. Some thought the stu- dents should take more personal responsibility, while some thought it was not emfasized on freshmen enuf by upperclas- men. One would not call it a system. The chapel servises wer considerd a success by twenty-two, while ten considerd them a partial or complete failure. Many suggestions for improving the servises and attendance wer re- ceivd. Several thought the subjects of talks might be made more interesting, some by having best speakers often and some by having all faculty members with the same regularity. To hav more outside speakers was suggested as a means of improve- ment. More and better music would please three or four of the students, while several thought more pressure should be brought to bear on the delinquent students. For favorit Chapel speakers, Professor Coleman was indorst by twenty-flve, eleven voted for Dr. Foster, ten for Professor Hammond, nine for Dr. Rowland, eight for Dr. Morgan, seven for Dr. Compton, and four each for Dr. Torrey and Dr. Grifhn. ere REED COLLEGE ADUWUAL About three-fourths of those who exprest themselvs on the woman question wer in favor of absolute equality of the sexes, while only three entirely disapproved. thirty-three dance. Twenty-eight of the Two regard dancing as immoral, altho eight wer doutful on the moral side. Seventeen hav not changed their ideas on dancing since coming to college, and but one has become more firmly opposed to it.

One did not kno when The graduating clas has done a consistent amount of studying. During the first year, they spent an average of thirty-six hours a week on their regular college courses. This average was kept up during the sofomore and junior years, while during the past year, they hav averaged nearly forty hours a week, if their reports ar to be trusted. .zai r-IIIL' .g$I-G; UNDERCLASMEN Edith Pauline Alderman Alta Armstrong George Edward Axtell Ruth Lucinda Barlow Frieda Ernestine Bratzel Adele Emilienne Brault Gretchen Brigger Roland Grant Bristol Mary Adele Brownlie George Leonard Buland Elsie Leona Calkins Lloyd Raymond Carrick Ruth VVoodbridge Dickinson Ethel Maude English Hanita Friedenthal Albert Gentner Harold Golder REED COLLEGE Clas of 1916 Inez Janet Goltra Lottie Faith Grantham Ruth Lillian Hall Harriet Celia Hunkins Edna Vivian Johnston Laura Kelly Frances Caroline Kennicott Olive Niles Kincaid Helmuth Edward Krause Hazel Babcock Kurtz Maurine Laber Alexander McKinlay Lackey Estelle Elaine Launer Mildred Linden Elizabeth Caldwell McGaw Virginia Margaret Mackenzie Barbara Ella MCLoney Honorary Members Dr. and Mrs. Bernard Capen Ewer ANNUAL 4- 1915 Charles William Mau Verna Frances Menefee Darrell Warner Milton Henry Carleton Norman Juanita Viola Parker Edgar Eugene Piper Frank Clarke Scott Dorothy Martha von Seggern Mary Marjorie Silverthorn Harold Avery Smith Flora Sommer Minerva Derry Thiessen Mildred Lucy Thomas Dean Benjamin Webster Harry Aribert XVembridge Agnes Alayah XVheeler Lois Marietta Williams Edwin Adolf Zabel 331-33. agtgf.i'::;Jyut .r- .4 sgxg-Muh 3 38hkw:::' 1Y0 :n:::.;' ':;s .12.:7: ; 47v; :11q231g-1th'i 1'4 guzhgi-ftxigazaraj-;g wwwummummm mmmnnm :-N,...--:y-..,A.v.f-..; ;... :9???7rw. 4 ?:nr-sr-Vf-siur?m., ?inrz-W':21ww;s-,-:T :::.-; rt-J-r 'ziire'nu 1 ,x r.ww. :71:- -.-r-r'.-r:rwtv7w r7rvy-g-gr.ru-,:rJ-'..:7:nnr:r:i: - I641 Marian Humphrey Allhands Clyde Alden Beals W7i11iam Edgar Bennett Ethel Cleland Bond Edward Arthur Boyrie Fred Arthur Brainerd Ambrose Brownell Carl Elmer Carlson Elsie May Clair Zilpha Lillian Dempsey Gladys' hrTarguerite Dobson Emma May DuBruilIe Clara Eliot Dorothy Amelia Elliott Louise Ellanore Ewing Doris Arden Foresman Priscilla Eidson Gabel REED COLLEGE Clas of 1917 V Malcolm Leon Gilbert Sigurd Grondahl Hazel Howard Arlien Genevieve Johnson Esther Kelly Gunther Fredrick Krause Irene Lacey Charles Francis Larrabee Ruth Emma Leonard Louise Mary Lewis Horace Metcalfe Miller Elizabeth Anne Morgan Bessie Aurora Nelson Minna Wanda Niemiec Delvin Leroy Peterson Dana Carlton Poulsen Naomi Riches Honorary Members Dr. and Mrs. Karl Taylor Compton ANNUAL + 1915 Mathew Casey Riddle Charles Henry Rogers Laura Elizabeth Roper Gertrude Renter Josephine Margaret Saunders Otto Arthur Schultz Alvin Charles Shagren Francis Scott Smyth Lillian Mae Stevenson Martha Fay Tillotson Dorothy Jean Vinton August VVillman Erma Ruth Wills Olin Leroy Wills Clarence James Young .,.- ;7:15.:1::7:-;::':::-: .-- .w-:r .:-.r-.-:7:r77?'r:'-:-h:rr - ,.

The idea of honor has a sharp challenge to the mind, wiMnd hart 0f the college student. Most freshmen at not yet past the period of experi- , ience in which moral notions ar fixt; they af'stil eager for the exercise of Choice in ethical questions. Honor has, moreover, a Havor 0f aristocracy which makes its appeal to those who at conseius of superiority in learning. By force of these facts and from the experience of other colleges, infin- ential members of the student body and the faculty hav taken pains to develop here an enthusiastic ttHonor Spirit. The Honor Spirit began to take a part in the life and thought of the college before the end of the first semester. President Foster, in anticipation of the first final examinations, put the question of student conduct therein up to the members of the first elas. They voted to relieve the faculty of the burden of enforcing honesty in these tests, and agreed to make it a ttpoint of honor', not to cheat in examinations. TYith the development of student government, and the granting of authority in matters of student conduct to the Stu- dent Council, honor came to be formulated as a principle of ac- tion in all seool work. Honesty in the preparation and recitation GD tQJ of lessons was recognized as being of as great importance as honesty in examinations. This attitude of the students towards the demands of col- lege administration met with response on the part of President Foster and the faculty. At varius times during the first year, and occasionally since that time the confidence and opinion of students in matters of administrativ policy hav been askt for. Especially thrwthe Student Council and senior c1215 questions of equipment, instruction, finance, and the relations of the col- 1ege t0 the community hav been made matters for student con- sideration and responsibility. From these basic applications of the Honor Spirit in the relations of the students to the administration and instruction of the college its meaning has been extended to make it include the whole life of the college community. At varius times, in chapel and in student-body meetings, students and faculty mem- bers hav made deflnitions and formulations of it. 'In scool work the Honor Spirit requires earnestness, frankness and considera- tions for the rights of others in the use of library, laboratories and the like. In general conduct it includes especially respect for property rights of persons both in and outside the college, economy and care in the use of college property, the prompt payment of dets, and a regard for the reputation of the college 1.11:..LSJ. gilnl- .'.'.'.i.'.-.t;'.- sf:,sW'. . ,'.s.'.s. 'VTL:;: . . .e I701 REED COLLEGE ANNUAL -I- 1915 abroad. In athletics the Honor Spirit means fair play and sportsmanship in the best sense of the word. In student gov- ernment it imposes the duty of conscientius servis on the part of ost-holders, and a sense of interest in the welfare of the group on the part of individuals. We can hardly dout the value and wisdom of the adoption and development of honor as a principle in college life. Com- mon-sense seems to indicate that if students and faculty ar using the endowment and equipment of a college for the ends of scolarship, they wil get on better by working together than they wil by opposition. Tradition and experience tend to con- firm the notion that the ends of good-felloship in a group of people with common interests and purposes at best servd by frankness, forbearance, and sympathy. Tho primarily, perhaps, a matter of social significance, honor is not antagonistic to the interests of individuality. Honesty to self is, indeed, the first principle of honor; and the expression of the self-respect which this honesty engenders is the best way of impressing one's in- dividuality upon society. The important results of the Honor Spirit at Reed ar found not so much in tangible realities as in subtle atmosferic qualities. The substitutions of cooperation for distrust and suspicion on the part of students and faculty in the business of study ar not inimical to the advance of scolarship. In this as in the general social relationships those who hav had opportuni- ties of comparison say that in Reed College the bredth of the traditional gulf between faculty and students has been definitly lessend. The Honor Spirit has, of course, not yet attaind perfection as a force in social control. There ar some dissatisfactions, some misunderstandings, some difficulties of organized student life that honor has not obviated. The youth of the college, and lack of traditions make the matter of educating new students for ful Citizenship difficult. Time may remedy this. Every- thing possible has not been accomplisht in four years. The imperfections of translating the Honor Spirit into actions and motivs ar the best guarantee of its continued influ- ence. That its applications be comprehensiv of much, and that its meanings be ritten more deeply on the minds and harts of all who may become connected with Reed is the hope of all who kno what it has alredy done. REED COLLEGE ANNUAL -2- 1 9 1 5 ml STUDENT GOVERNMENT N accordance with the rather unusual amount of 1 freedom which was allowd Reed students, even at the very first, it was decided that their affairs could 8 be delt with in the most efhcient way by the stu- Z 0 dents themselvs, thru the medium of some sort of W self-government. Consequently in March, 1912, the men and women each chose three representativs who wer to formulate plans for student government. The personnel of this hrst council was as folloes: David Brace, president, Eve- lyn Fatland, Vice-president, Alma Button, secretary, Ada Mc- Cown, Marvin Howes, and XVilliam Boddy. At this time the precedent was set of electing as president and Vice-president the man and woman who receivd from their respectiv constit- uencies the highest number of votes. The Vice-president was also to act as president of the women students. The necessity then devolving upon the council was to de- fine what its responsibilities should be. It must be rememberd that at that time the student body consisted of but one clas with a membership of about fifty, so the college life which the coun- cil faced was extremely simple in comparison with that of the present time. But in laying down lines of action for themselvs and future councils the members had to foresee, as far as pos- sible, the situation as it would develop with the entrance of each succeeding clas, until the student body should be composed of its ful quota. The most concrete thing which presented itself to be done was the drawing up of a constitution, and for this purpose a special committee was appointed. Only one of the council members had any previus college experience, so the council enlisted the servises of Mr. Stahl, who had, a few years before, been on the Student Council at Bowdoin College. Constitutions from numerus colleges wer studied, and it was finally decided that the responsibilities of the Reed governing body should be threefold. It should develop thru all fases of college life the Tthonor principle? which had alredy been applied in examina- tions; it should hav a share in the management of the social life of the college; it should oversee all extracurricular activi- ties. It was thought that a small group of experienst students could work more efficiently than a larger, more heterogeneus body, so activ membership on the council was confined to three men and three women of the senior clas elected by the entire body of men and women, and one man and one woman as ad- visory members from the junior clas. Such a limitation of membership caused some opposition at the time, and even now freshmen feel at first that they ar the opprest Victims of an au- WI REED tocracy, but by the time they become sofomores they get used to the system and find it les objectionable. The first council held 0th until May, 1913, and was largely occupied during that time in problems of organization. The succeeding council consisted of Arthur Hauck, president, Gladys Lowden, vice-president, Jean Wolverton, secretary, Donald Lancefleld, Annie Jordan Harrison and William Boddy. The advisory members wer Juanita Parker and Oscar Koenig. The problems faced by each succeeding council gro more and more complex, but the first constitution, with a few nec- essary amendments, has, on the whole, proved equal to the situation. The duties of the Reed council ar probably, in gen- eral, similar to those of other student governing bodies. Its members constitute a medium between the students as a whole and the faculty as a whole, to attend to student disci- COLLEGE ANNUAL .;. 1915 plin, oversee the development of new activities, and in general keep a stedy hnger upon the pulse of student life. Of course, in the last analysis there is no such thing as complete student government, for the final authority on any question which concerns the welfare of the college must, by the force of tradition in college administration, rest with the faculty. The Reed plan, being a cooperativ one, leaves such questions to be delt with on a basis of mutual understanding, and, so far, there has been no occasion for serius clash between student and faculty opinions. Arthur Hauck was re-elected president of this years coun- cil, and Elsa Gill was its vice-president. Edna Acheson was secretary, and the newly created separate offls of tresurer was fild by Glenn Johnson. The other members wer Grace Hays, Francis McCoy, Lowell Bradford, and Mary Brownlie. ORGANIZATIONS g h L REED COLLEGE ANNUAL '1 1915 WI AMANDA REED ASSOCIATION T g is an organization composed exclusivly of women, HE Amanda Reed Association was founded in De- cember, 1914, for the purpose of promoting religius and social work in the college and community. It and at present nearly every woman in college is a member. Membership is open and unlimited, the taking of an activ part in the affairs of the organization being the only requirement. The association is governd by a cabinet consisting of the ofEcers of the association and the departmental heds. The per- sonnel of the cabinet for the current year is as folloes: Presi- dent, Dorothy Coffin tsucceeded, upon her departure, by Neil Browm; vice-president, and hed of the membership depart- ment, Dorothy Elliott; secretary, Inez Goltra; tresurer, Louise Huntley; hed of the Bible-study department, Bessie Nelson; hed 0f the civic affairs department, Agnes Winchell; and hed of the social servis department, Hanita Friedenthal. The association is divided into departments, each of which has charge of a main division of the program of work. The Bible-study department has this year conducted two lecture courses on The Life of Jesus, one for sofomores and ....';';: a 2.41.75,- e one for freshmen, and another course for the upper classes on The Book of Job. The civic affairs department includes the Current Events Club, which was formd in 1912. The principal activity of this department is the maintenance of a campain committee whose function it is to inform the women students of any coming election or political move in which they hav a voice, and to see that 311 who can do so register and vote. There is within the association a department which carries on the work of a regular branch of the National Consumersi Leag. The membership department carries on its work by means of committees which campain for members, welcome incoming students at the beginning of each year, assist in freshman ath- letics, and get out a booklet giving information concerning the college. The social servis department, the largest of any, has under it the Personal Servis Club, composed of junior, sofomore and freshman women, the Woman's Peace Party organization, and such work as gymnasium classes, story hours, and visiting. The aim of the association is to hav each department per- form its own special functions, while all cooperate along any line when need be. The work of the association has met with markt success.

It is not con- nected with the national Yung Menis Christian 52 Association, the basis on which admission is made being somewhat broader than in the national or- g9 ganization. The association has at present titty- seven members of whom thirty-three ar activ and twenty-fonr associate members. Activ members at Hthose who wil con- scientiusly endevor to carry out the interests of the organiza- tion? Associate members ar those Tin sympathy with the work of the association who ar unable to participate activly? The purpose of the association nis to promote Christian felloship and to provide an avenue for its practical expression in servis t0 the communityfy The association has the folloing offisers, elected last spring and continuing in offis this year: President, Milton Runyan; vice-president, tresurer and hed of the budget committee, Henry Norman; secretary and hed of the social and member- ship committees, David Brace; hed of the Bible-study come mittee, Alvin Bradford; and hed of the social servis committee, Marvin Howes. These offisers and heds of committees form a cabinet which is the governing body of the association. The Bible-study committee has this year conducted four courses, two each semester. Those for the first semester, both REED COLLEGE ANNUAL -:- 1915 given by Dr. Latourette, wer The Manhood of the Master, for freshmen only, and The Teaching of Jesus and His Apostles. During the present semester Mr. Wood has conducted a course, The Social Teachings of Jesus, and Dr. Latourette has given seven lectures on China. The social committee has given three smokers, open to all men students. No membership fees at charged by the association. Each year a budget of probable expenses is made out and the amount raised by subscription. The principal item of expense so far has been the social affairs, but the association hopes to be able by next year to make compensation to those of its members activly engaged in social servis work. The social servis committee has done much work during the current year. A Red Cros fund of about a hundred dollars was raised early in the year and much poor relief work, such as the collection of old clothes, was carried on. In the state prohibition campain last fall men wer sent to check the counting of ballots. Six or seven men hav conducted boys, clubs for the Peoples Institute and investigations ar being made as to the feasibility of organizing boysh clubs in connection with the branch libraries. Entertainments hav been given at the Peo- pleis Institute. A survey of the men students of the college has been made to discover how many had experience or ability in social servis work. It is pland to continue this general type of work and to organize classes among the foren immigrants REED COLLEGE ANNUAL for the study of English. In cooperation with the Amanda Reed Association a handbook for new students is to be put out next fall. During the present semester a talk was given at the college by Dr. Mason of Seattle under the auspices of the association. Discussions wer held to consider missionary opportunities in China for fysicians, chemists and teachers; Mr. McClellan, fleld secretary of the Student Volunteers of America, was here at the time. The association sent four Reed men to the Northwest Yung Men's Christian Association Student Conference at Columbia Beach, Oregon, in June, 1914, and this spring two men wer sent to the College Yung Menls Christian Association Conference held at Newberg, Oregon. DEUTSCHE VEREIN HE Deutsche Verein was organized in 1912 as a club for the study, interpretation and appreciation of all fases of German life. In pursuance of this $ aim, monthly meetings hav since been held, at which the members hav heard lectures on filosofy, literature and art, thereby increasing and enriching their comprehension of German culture. Under the presidency of Arthur Hauck, several interest- ing talks wer arranged. One evening was devoted to a dis .. I .. -4.-. 4.361.; .4.vnn + 1 9 1 5 1771 cussion, by Mr. Stahl, 0f the poetry and filosofy of Nietzsche; another, to the reading of Sudermannys Illagda. Dr. C. H. Chapman gav two talks; on the social dramas 0f Hauptmann, and on the filosofy 0f Rudolph Eucken. Bismark, the man of ilblood and iron was presented to the Verein in a direct, anecdotal fashion by Reverend A. Krause. Another evening was given to Dr. Edward O. Sisson, whose personal contact with the filosofer, Friedrich Paulsen, made possible an in- timate description of this versatil caracter. The Verein en- tertaind its frends with a lecture-recital by Mr. Lucien Becker, in which compositions of Schumann, Strauss and other musicians of the Teutonic strain wer presented. On another occasion, Miss Henrietta Eliot interpreted the art of Holbein and Diirer. In the fall of 1914 the Verein was reorganized into a regular departmental club with Helmuth Krause as Varsit- zender. Since the Great War is now closest to the hart 0f the German, art, literature, and filosofy wer relegated to the fringe of discussion, except as they bore upon the present struggle. Mr. Stahl spoke on some fallacies concerning the Emperor and the war, and Stephenson Smith gave a com- prehensiv talk on William of Germany. Nucia Niemiec de- scribed the Civilization and position of the Poles, giving such a talk as only one can whose whole hart and soul is in her subject. 1781 In the last semester of this year, literature again came to the fore. The specific fase of inquiry was the drama. Discussions and readings of von H-offmansthal and Schnitzler culminated in the presentation of two one-act plays on Thurs- day evening, March twenty-fifth. Schnitzlerts satire, Die Literatur, was playd in German, and von Hoffmansthalts tragedy, Beth and the F001, was given in translation. While the Deutsche Verein has had an intellectual aim for its prime purpose, it has by no means slighted the social. The German customs of Lieder singing and Kaffce drinking hav added to the plesure of the informal social hour after the program. They ar always regarded by the members as among the most delightful and distinctiv features of the Verein gatherings. CLASSICAL CLUB HE Classical Club was organized in the winter of 1913 by Dr. Rees and the twenty-flve students in the department. Their purpose was to gain some g of that 11knoledge by the way, of Greek and Roman life and letters which the work of the k9 clasroom does not giv. During the two years of its existence the club has met monthly; it has pland a regular course of study for each year and arranged as wel for two REED COLLEGE ANNUAL 4- 1915 lectures by outsiders. Dr. Wilson spoke at one of the regular meetings on Troy as a trade-route, and at another meeting Miss Mary Frances Isom gave an interesting account of her trip thru Greece. These talks wer, however, only interludes in the regular work of the club. During the first year attention centerd 0n the drama, since it had been decided to stage the Antigone ROMAN BANQUET 1915 REED COLLEGE ANNUAL + 1915 late in the spring. Papers wer red dealing with the origins of tragedy, with the beginnings of comedy, with the Greek theater, and with modern recasts of Sophoclesl O'cdipus Tyrannus; a play of Aristophanes was red aloud and discust. At the end of this course of study the club put to the test its knoledge thus gaind by presenting a tragedy of Sophocles, and so completed the work of the first year. During this last year the club has made a brief survey of the facts about Greek and Roman society. At successiv meetings different members hav traced upper-clas Greek and Roman thru their lives. Their customs in matters of birth, nursing, pedagoging, marrying and buryinOt; their work and their play; their duties as citizens, in the agora and forum; their religins duties, as priests of their households; their dres and manners; their modes of social intercourse; their ideas regarding the position of women; these ar the salient points coverd in the second year's study. Again, putting to the trial the practical value of a theoretical course, the club gave a dinner in the style of the early Roman Empire. The members, all in tnnics and togas. reclined at 10 tables; they drank the helth of the poets, proposed by a pseudo-Maecenas, in grape-juice Falernian; listend to a Greek bard Chant Theocritus; watcht bnffoons and dancing girls, and feasted all the while on classic pabulum above reproach,-both mere food and Latin cone versation. And as at the banquet. so thruout the year, n'from eg to appleil work and play hav gone on wel together. FRENCH CLUB HE members of liAcadcsmic wer not, so far as any- one can recall, brought together by any dominant or earnest purpose, and to the present time there has l: $ been no constitution, by-laws, or other instrument to insure the perpetual existence of this body. There is no charter, no code of procedure; the election of offisers has never been cald to mind. Roberts' Rules of Order hav never been studied by IiAcadi'ml'eJ-and all the members may talk simultaneusly if they wish. In short, the one common tendency, and the one regular habit of the group is to support the rule, clzaczm faz't comme 1'! lm' plait. The business of llAcadcgmie has been to amuse itself with anything in French that makes an appeal. Readings and con- versation in a more or les pure form of Gallic diction ar prac- tist when the members come in session. Moliere has his ad- mirers among those of the members who ar inclined toward comedy, and consequently several of the meetings hav been devoted to selni-performances of the Bourgeois Gentilhonmir. The members say they wil do a great deal more presently, and possibly they may persist in their intentions. There wil soon be several complete sets of plans to cover the activities of l'Acadeiizic for several years to come. Accordingly the mem- bers, if their minds hold, wil sometime put several perform- ances of favorit French dramatic masterpieces before the pub- ,ffjrv-i w J .4351- I801 REED lie. Meanwhile the meetings furnish abundant entertainment and occasional intelligible French conversation. BIOLOGY CLUB N THE spring of 1913 some of the men interested in biology formd the Biology Club. This began as a center of discussion for current biological prob- 8 lems, and the latest research relating to these prob- S lems. The meetings wer held every fortnight. At LWQ some of these meetings there wer lectures by ont- siders to which the college was invited. One interesting evening was given over to hearing Mr. W. L. Finley speak and seeing some of his bird pictures. Other meetings wer conducted by the members. In the folloing fall women wer admitted to the club and the meetings wer opend t0 the college public. Some general biological questions and certain tecnical ones wer discust by the members. Dr. C. F. Hodge spoke to the club concerning nature study for children, Dr. Ralph Matson, concerning tuber- culosis, Dr. C. S. White concerning public helth. The attend- ance was regular and considerable interest was manifested. During the current year the club has confined its discus- sion to the general subject of heredity. Lectures hav been given by Dr. Torrey and by members on varius aspects of the subject. COLLEGE ANNUAL -1- 1915 Altho none of the charter members wil be in college next year, the traditions of the club hav been wel establisht and handed down to the newer members. These traditions may be summarized: the dominant interest of the club is intellectual; the club is concernd only with the vital biological problems of the day; it meets regularly and never postpones its meetings; each member in his turn to address the club givs a thoughtful and carefully prepared paper. CHES CLUB RGANIZED ches playing was introduced into Reed s College in the fall of 1912 when a ches club was organized under the direction of Mr. XVood with Qj Lloyd Carrick and Roland Bristol as president and secretary. Except for occasional games among the members, little playing was done until the fall of 1914. At that time Lowell Bradford was elected turnament manager and conducted a three months' ranking turnament in which thirty men participated. The playing during the spring semester was supervised by Walter Carl as president and Horace Miller as secretary-tresurer. Two turnainents wer held; one was a percentage turnament won by Mr. Carl, and the other a challenge turnament with the Acacia Club of Portland. With enthusiasm stil high, ches bids fair to become permanently a favorit indoor game at Reed. 1 REED COLLEGE ADUWUAL COOPERATIV STORE N THE spring of 1912 President Foster decided I to start the cooperativ store for the purpose of sup- plying such things as paper and books to the stu- fg? dents more conveniently than was otherwise possi- S ble. He shoed his faith and interest in the new bag venture by himself advancing the capital necessary to make it a reality. It was decided that the profits for the first year or two should be used to bild up a stock sufficiently large and com- plete to put the store on a permanent footing. In consequence of this decision all merchandise has, up to the present time, been sold at regular retail prices. A plan is now in the hands of the Student Council to make the store truly 1icooperativfi The present stock is such that in future the profits can be returnd to the purchasers as divi- dends. Beginning with September, 1915, as many students as de- sire to do so may become stockholders in the store. Upon pay- ment of the price of his share the stockholder becomes entitled to receive dividends on the earnings of the store. A record wil be kept of the purchases made by each stockholder and dividends declared accordingly. In addition to a percentage of his own expenditure each stockholder wil receive a dividend upon the purchases of those students who own no stock in the A;4 m. LGuwX + 1915 l$l store. Each stockholder wil, upon leavingeollege, receive the original sum which he spent for his stock. Thus the mony invested in shares wil constitute a trust fund which wil serv to insure the credit of the store and keep it on a firm financial basis. It is hoped that this plan wil effect a considerable sav- ing to the stockholders. The government of the store wil be in the hands of a board of directors elected by and responsible to the stockhold- ers. This board wil hire the manager, audit his account, and determin the general policy of the store. LITERAT CLUB HE Literat Club has met every two weeks during 1 I the past semester in Dr. Cushing's apartments. Each member has red at every meeting a piece of $ his own riting for the criticism of the others, and, in connection with the verse and prose sketches submitted, the club has discust informally matters of style, tecnic, and literary effect. The club is without formal organization, and has no ofhsers. I821 REED CANOE CLUB N the fall of 1913 a group of ten women interested in water sports organized themsele into a canoe Club and contributed equally toward a fund for the 5! purchase of a canoe to be used on Crystal Springs $ Lake. Interest in this form of recreation increast .- baa stedily, and by this year so many women wer eager to join the club that it was thought necessary to buy a new canoe. Elizabeth Havely was the first president of the Canoe Club and Dorothy Elliott was tresurer. The offisers this year ar Inez Goltra and Elsie Clair. THE QUEST NE of the most important Reed College student ac- tivities is the publication of a weekly newspaper. The Quest is now in its third year, and is edited QJ by Ellis H. Jones, who has been connected with the staf since the first year of publication. The first issue appealed on January sixteenth, 1913, at the close of the first semester in the second year of the college. The staf of the first year included Everett A. Trousdale as editor, E. Evelyn Fatland, associate editor, David K. Brace, Edgar E. Piper, Frank Scott, and Lois VVil- COLLEGE ANNUAL e 1915 liams as assistant editors, and Milton Runyan as business man- ager. At this time the paper was issued every two weeks, and containd four five-colum pages in a seventeen-ineh form. Pub- lication continued thru the year with most of the original staf in offis. Ellis H. Jones became a member of the staf in May, when he was elected to an assistant editorship. Frank Scott occupied the editors chair from September sixteenth to November seventh, when his resignation was ac- FRANK SCOTT Second Editor EVERETT TROUSDALE First Editor .-.'. .' hear ..-...-.s..e.r. .7. . ...... ihthLLAL REED COLLEGE ELLIS H.

The spelling recommended by the first three lists of the Simplified Spelling Board was adopted in September, 1913. After the first of October the paper was scheduled to appear weekly insted of bi-weekly. The size of the pages was reduced to four colums in the third week and contim ued in this uniform style for the rest of the year. There was a lapse in the publication between October fifteenth and twenty- ninth, which was explaind in the succeeding paper by an an- 1 .. 1915 BN nouncenient that the editor had been on a vacation. Ellis H. Jones became editor by appointment on November seventh, and continued with the stat in this capacity for the rest of the semester. The Quest was organized under the present charter on December ninth, 1913, and the first editor elected in February according to the new provisions was William Boddy, who held ofhs until the folloing June. His associate was Arthur Caylor, who undertook a large part of the work and responsibility. Edgar Piper was elected editor for the folloing semester, and occupied the position until Janu- ary, 1915, when he was suc- ceeded by Ellis H. Jones, who thus came into offis for the sec- ond time. The fourth list of the Simplified Spelling Board was adopted at the beginning of the college year. The development of the Quest has been markt by frequent changes in composition, since its editors have taken a strong interest in its typografical make-up. The present general style of the Quest was adopted after con- EDGAR PIPER Fifth Editor c't'Hhiuwki'r . ' . r nua- 5,..V,M' .w...i .

By exercising care in the make-up, the pages ar drest according to the best newspaper standards, and the result has been entirely satisfactory. The editorial management of the Quest is according to the charter adopted on December ninth, 1913, by the student body. The board elects new members every semester, or when- ever vacancies occur.

Positions on the staf hav been reservd for consistent workers, with the result that the work of the stat increases in quality each semester. For the present semester new appointments have been made on this basis, and the work of issuing the Quest is being done by a larger force, which the editor proposes to increase as rapidly as is practicable. ATHLETICS ., g REED COLLEGE ANNUAL 4- 1915 I871 ATHLETICS EED College athletics is conducted for every stu- dent in the institution. This expresses briefly the Reed ideal and for this reason intercollegiate ath- letics, with the development of the few students who need it least at the expense of the many who need it most, forms no part of the Reed system. Instcd, the aim of the college is to help every student to keep in good fysical condition. In order to accomplish this purpose an efflcient system of intracollegiate athletics has been workt out. Track meets, tennis and handball turnaments, match contests in baseball, football, basketball, soccer, hocky and vollyball ar held. Regu- lar gymnasium work, with boxing and restling classes, and, in a few cases, eorrectiv exercises, is also given. There 211' thus enuf branches of athletics for everyone to engage in. Everyone at Reed does not mean merely the men. It also includes the women of the college, as wel as most of the mem- bers of the faculty. The women haV basketball, tennis, hand- ball. baseball. vollyball, hocky and basketball to keep them busy, while the faculty men hav a team in every sport except foot- ball. The women hav as keen. if not keener, competition as the men, while the faculty representativs ar near the top in every branch of athletics. THE ATHLETIC COUNCIL Athletic activities ar under the direct control of the stu- dents. This control is secured thru the Athletic Council, a body of seven men and seven women members. This group, which has representativs from each of the four classes, organizes, pro- vides for, and conducts all athletic activities. A system of rewards for athletes has also been workt out by the Athletic Council. These rewards play little part as an ineentiv to competitors, but merely serv as a fitting means of recognizing athletic ability. A clas numeral is given for making two clas teams in one year, while letters ar given to those who make two all-star teams in one year or one all-star team for three years. Five major sports ar recognized both for men and for women, and all star teams at chosen by a faculty com- mittee in each of these sports. This spring an amendment was made to the constitution to ad two students, members of the Athletic Council, to this committee; and, in this way, to giv the students, who ar in close tnch with the situation, some power in the selection of these teams. The system is stil imperfect, as any system of rewards must be. 1881 REED COLLEGE ANNUAL 41 1915 Altho the constitution provides for separate meetings of men and women, the council usually comes together as one body. Three men and three women at chosen by the senior cias, two men and two women from the juniors, and one man and one woman from each of the two loer classes. The presi- dent and Vice-president respectivly ar at the heds of the separate menis and womens council, while the president is at the lied of the entire body. The nrst council elected near the close of the first year of the college was composed of three men and three women. Mil- ton Runyan and Edna Metcalf wer its president and Vice-presi- dent, and held offis until the fall of the third year of the col- lege. Lucile Boyd was secretary, and the other members wer Donald Lancefield, Elton Loucks and Dorothy Walton. The main work of this council was the drawing 11p of an athletic constitution including the organization of the council and of the system of reward for athletes. Altho the task was partly accomplisht, the system of awards was completely changed, by the following council, to the basis mentiond above. Athletic activities wer also started by the first council, regularly scheduled contests taking place in each of the 111611,S fwe major sports, tennis, football, basketball, track and baseball, while the women had tennis, basketball and track competition. The second council, elected in the fall of 1913, was the first to be chosen under the provisions of the new constitution. David Brace, Kenneth Tomlinson, Wynn Redman, Edna Met- calf Edna Acheson and Katharine Piggott we1 chosen by the juniors, and Arcl 1iba1d C1ark,Hanld Smith Marion RopeI andi Margaret Walton wer the sofomore representativs Paul Rittenberg and Emma Dubruilie wer chosen by the freshmen. David Brace was elected president, Edna X1etcalf,vice-p1esi- dent, Marion Roper, secretary and Kenneth Tomlinson, tres- urer. This council immediately took 11p the work of changing the basis of rewards with the result mentiond above. Their work consisted chiefly in the further organization of different activities for the increast number of students. The third council, which was elected last fall, was the first with the ful membership of fourteen. Ellis Jones, Forrest Jenne, Alvin Bradford, Bess Owens, Eunice Townsend, and Neil Brown wer chosen by the seniors; Henry Norman, Dean Webster, Juanita Parker and Dorothy Coftin represented the juniors. The' sofomores elected Alvin Shagren and Dorothy Elliott; the freshmen chose Frank Pearcy and VVihnoth Osborne. Ellis Jones was elected presi- dent; Bess Owens, vice-president; Alvin Bradford, secretary; and Henry Norman, tresurer. This council started the system of giving general charge of a sport to one member, who was directly responsible for activity in that line. Some much needed work was also started by this council in collecting the athletic records of the college. Two members took up this work and, with meager and scat- 1? .

I901 REED COLLEGE ANNUAL + 1915 terd sources, succeeded in collecting the records of most of the athletic activities both of the past year and of former years. A change was also made in the method of electing mem- bers to the council. An amendment was put thru to provide that elections for the folloing year take place in the spring, thus making possible an early organization. Another important piece of work was the conducting of a menls basketball series. Twelv teams wer organized and playd off a fairly successful series, considering that it was the first attempt in this line. Perpetual tennis ranking turnaments, both for men and for women, was first started by the council, and did much to ad interest in this alredy popular sport. An amendment adding two student members to the all-star board was past. The future work of the Athletic Council lies largely in the more efficient organization of athletic activities, together with the starting of new sports as they ar needed. There is also a chance for closer cooperation between the council and the col- lege athletic department, which wil do much to promote the ideal of athletics for every one. FYSICAL EXAMINATIONS Fysical examinations form an important part of the gym- nasium system. These ar taken at different periods and com- parisons made of each studentls record, thus giving a history of his fysical development while in college. In some cases, correctiv exercises for poor development ar required. Regular gymnasium exercises ar given twice a week to all students thru a part of the year, but when wether permits, out of door games ar preferd. Boxing and restling ar given some place in the gymnasium. Besides the regular gymnasium work, there at also special classes in fysical education. These classes make a study of anatomy and also do special gymnasium work to pre- pare students for gymnasium or play-ground directorship. The students sometimes giv instructions to clubs of their own, and thus get much practical experience in the course. EQUIPMENT Reed students hav seen a stedy growth in their equipment for athletic work. During the hrst part of the first year the streets and the clasroom servd as athletic field and gymnasium respectivly, but later the use of the Multnomah Club's splen- did equipment was secured for the first clas. Basketball, swimming, tennis, and baseball wer indulged in at the club quarters by both men and women, tho no regu- larly scheduled contests wer possible. The second year found the students, now more than doubled in number, on the perma- nent campus, and, tho no very fine equipment for athletics was available that year, there was a greater sense of freedom for athletic activity among the students. Football was playcl on the cow pasture, while some late season baseball was puld off at the same place. The two cement tennis courts had to serv for both tennis and basketball, handicapping the winter sport REED COLLEGE ANUUJAL of basketball slightly. The athletic department had limited space in the basement of the main bilding, now occupied by the fysical laboratory, while the handball courts wer on the fourth floor, the present chemistry lecture-room. About the last of the second year, work was started on the permanent athletic held. but owing to the amount of the til and the grading to be done, the field was not available that year. Baseball was playd immediately south of the dormitory on an improvised diamond. At the beginning of the third year, work was wel under way on the gymnasium, while the permanent athletic field was in shape for the football games. During November the gym- nasium was completed and athletics immediately took a boost. The gymnasium had a main Eoor of seventy by flfty feet, a handball court, a squash court, a restling and boxing room, special exercise rooms, drying rooms, shower and locker room, and an ofhs for the director of fysical education. Indoor games wer taken up and much athletic work done during the winter. In the spring, work on the permanent athletic held was continued and the baseball diamond, a quarter-mile running track and dirt tennis courts wer put in shape. Drainage was partially completed and the whole surface took on the appear- ance of an athletic fleld. . The next important addition to the athletic equipment was made this spring. An unknown donor gave the college four cement tennis courts. It was decided to put cement 0n the -1. t + 1915 lml GYMNASIUM AND UPPER TENNIS COURTS two dirt courts on the athletic fteld and to grade for two new courts immediately west of the gymnasium. These four courts wer completed the early part of April and gave much needed room for the tennis players. The next important addition to the athletic equipment of the college wil probably be a gymnasium and athletic held for the sole use of the women. This, of course, depends upon the amount of money available for the proposed XVomelfs Bild- ing to be located acros the ravine, and may not be completed for a few years.

REEDTS F IRST MENtS ATHLETICS: FOOTBALL 303mm Football was the hrst athletic activity taken up by Reed bAl 1h students. Plans wer started for it early in the first year. Few of the men had had previus experience at the game, but all seemd anxius to try. It was necessary to get everyone inter- ested in order to play a game, as there wer but twenty-six men in the elas. After some preliminary practis in vacant lots and streets around the bilding, Tomlinson and Brace wer chosen captains of the opposing teams. The hrst game took place on the morn- ing of Thanksgiving Day at Twenty-fourth and Raleigh streets. Captain Tomlinsonis men won this game by a score of 5 to 0, but two weeks later, Captain Bracets team was Victorius by a score of 6 to O. The deciding game was never playd.

The initial clash of these teams was on the hrst of October, and the sofomores, largely because of previus experience, piled up a score of 52 to 0. In the second contest two weeks later the score was 51 to 0. T0 flnish the season, a third game was playd between the men of the dormitory and those who lived in town. Altho the dayedodgers wer much lighter, they held their opponents to a 14 to 0 score. When college opend the folloing fall, it was soon found that it would be impossible to organize clas teams, due to a stringent requirement for practis. It was then decided to hav only dormitory and day-dodger teams, as but about one-third of the men in college felt that they could spare the time for practis. At the hrst meeting of the teams on the fifth of November the teams battled to a scoreless tie. In the second game one week later the dormitory made a tuchdown in the early part of the game. Without further scoring by either side the game ended with a 6 to 0 score. Again last fall in the fourth football season it was deemd inadvisable to hav clas teams. Thus the two upper classes combined against the two loer classes for the preliminary games. Two games wer playd and both resulted in victories for the underclasmen. The score of the first was 22 to 3, that of the second was 17 to 0. The games wer both hard fought and brought out some of the best football yet seen in Reed College. The annual day-dodger-dormitory game was playd after the clas games. Altho expecting an easy victory, the dormi- tory team was held to one tuchdown, the final score being 7 to 0. BASKETBALL There was very little activity in, and no attempt made at organizing, games of basketball during the hrst year of college, tho a few scrub games wer playd at the Multnomah Club.gym- nasinm. Again the second year the men playd little basketball owing to the non-completion of a gymnasium. The three games that wer playd took place in the open air on the cement tennis courts. In all of these, the sofomores wer victorius, but the freshmen shoed fight in every game. The scores wer respectivly 42 to 2, 30 to 10, and 32 to 7. The third basketball season found the students for the first time in their own gymnasium. A ful Clas basketball schedule was workt out by the Athletic Council, each of the three teams including the faculty team playing the others once. The freshmen won the championship, taking the final and de- ciding game from the juniors by a score of 39 to 36.

The all-star team for this year was: Irle and Zabel, gards; Willman and Rittenberg, forwards; Runyan, center. This first regular season was quite successful and aroused much interest in basketball. The last season, however, has done the most to promote activity in this sport. Twelv teams wer chosen including every man in college, and regular games scheduled during the gym- nasium hours. In this way practically two-thirds of the men playd in from two to six games, many taking up the game who had never had a chance before. Many good men wer thus developt for the regular series which came later and included the four Clas teams and the faculty team. The Clas of 1917 again won the championship, tho not without several close games. The last game was won from the juniors by one point, the deciding basket being thrown by VVilIman in the last few seconds of play. The dodgers wer unable to keep up their record of the previus year and wer defeated in a wel-playd game by a score of 26 to 13. The all star team was pickt as folloes: Lancefield and Zabel, gards; Rittenberg, center; Norman and VVillman, forwards. TRACK Track work, tho one of the major athletic activities, has not receivd as much attention at Reed as at most colleges. This COLLEGE ANNUAL + 1915 is due largely to the amount of time taken to develop athletes for special events. Training, as such, has not as yet been intro- duced to Reed students. However some attempt is made to hav meets merely as a means of arousing interest. Such meets, both indoor and outdoor, hav been held for the last three years. There hav been three indoor track meets which included such events as the high kick, high jump, twenty-yard dash. dip, pul-up, broad jump, shot put, pole vault, hop-stepwjnmp, and relay race. The first year the freshman-sofomore tug-of- war was also included, but this was later made a special event. The sofomores won the hrst meet by a score of 58 to 23, the freshmen the second making 35 1-3 points to the juniors' 32 1-3 and the sofomores, 29 1-3. This year the meet was again won by the Clas of 1917, who made 53V2 points. The seniors wer second with 31, the juniors made 16 and the freshmen V2. Two outdoor meets hav been held, one the second year, on College Day, and one last year, in the latter part of May. The Clas of 1915 won the hrst meet easily, but wer de- feated last year by the present sofomores, who made 66 points against 56 by the seniors and 9 by the juniors. The college records set in the meet last year with their holders follo: 100 yards, Lancefield, 15, 11; 220 yards, Shagren, 117, 25 2-5; 440 yards, Brace, 15, 59 2-5; half mile, Miller, '17, 2:23 3-5: mile, Miller, 17, 5:38; 120-yard Io hurdles, Lancefield, ,15. 15 3-4; discus, Lancefield, '15, 86 ft. 5 in; shot put, Trous- dale, 15, 35 ft. 1 in; javelin, Brace, ,15, 123 ft.; high jump, H 'i'FEHl Bu l: . , . . 3 3. 41.:.;1'::5m:2umzai;25 KR uguznmm214,h;u;g m2::;;;uug:;---u:4..- AHL. -Ay. mm 1981 REED COLLEGE ANNUAL + 1915 Boyrie, ,17, 5 ft. 2 in; broad jump, Brace, 115. In comparison with other colleges these records fall far short; they merely 5110 what average ability combined with no special training wil accomplish. TENNIS Tennis has always occupied a prominent place in Reedis athletic activities. Two cement courts which wer redy with the opening of the college on its permanent campus, hav been largee 1y responsible for keeping tennis to the fore. With these courts it has been possible to play tennis during every month of the scool year. With the completion this spring of four new cement courts, tennis has been given another material boost. With such complete equipment in tennis there hav been turna- ments of every kind. The first menis turnament, open singles only, was held in the spring of the second college year. About twenty men, in- cluding members of the faculty, enterd. In the finals, Lance- field won the championship of the college by defeating Sabin in four fast sets. Early the next fall an open singles handicap turnament was run off with thirty entries. After close matches thruout the turnament, Dr. Torrey was the final victor. No regular turnaments wer held the remainder of the third year, but clas series wer playd off between both singles and doubles teams. The representativs of the Clas of 1915, Sabin and Lancefield, won this series with a clean sheet of victories. The freshmen wer second with four points out of a possible ten, while the sofomores secured but one victory in their ten matches. Willman, Larrabee and Riddle represented the freshmen, while S. Smith and Buland composed the sofomore team. Last fall an open singles turnament was held, but the winner was never officially decided. Forty-eight men en- terd the turnament, which was playd off in two weeks. Owing to rain on the last day before he left for the East, Dr. Foster was unable to play the final match with Dr. Rees. A ranking of the men players made on the basis of this turn- ament has run thruout the year. About fifty, nearly half of the college men, wer rankt at this time. This spring the ranking was made the basis for a handicap turnament, run off during April. Later, open singles and doubles with clas turnaments wil wind up the season. BASEBALL Baseball has always been one of the most, if not the most, popular of sports at Reed. Altho the game has been more or les handicapt by the uncertainty of diamonds, it has reniaind the most widely supported of the spring athletic activities. The game has never been developt to any great degree of ex- JUNIOR TEAM OF LAST YEAR FRESHMAN TEAM OF LAST YEAR fACI'LTY TEAM, OF LAST YEAR SOFOMORE TEAA OF LAST YEAR rmtmmwriaw ' 52:3: ; z HOOl R E E D COLLEGE ANNUAL + 1915 cellence, however, largely because little time is given to practis. The Multnomah Clubis fast diamond was available the first year, and tho there wer only about twenty-four men in college that spring, two ful teams wer pickt up and many contests wer puld off between these scrub nines. With the start of the next year, the Clas of 1915 pickt out a team and proceeded to win from both the freshmen and the faculty, who had by this time added enuf members to make out a formidable nine. Some exciting, if not weLplayd contests wer puld off, the sofomores only winning the cham- pionship by making a ninth inning rally of four runs against the faculty, while the faculty took thirteen innings to win from the freshmen. Last year, the permanent athletic held was available for the hrst time and a fairly good diamond was made by the combined efforts of the college and the students. The grounds wer a great improvement over those of the previus year, and an improved brand of ball was the result. The juniors again won the Championship, tho not without the timely aid of the sofomores. The latter defeated the faculty about the middle of the season in one of the best playd contests of the season. The juniors broke even with the faculty in their two games, and, by winning the remainder of their contests, finisht at the top of the list. The faculty wer second, the freshmen third, and the sofomores fourth. The following men wer pickt for the all-star positions: Jenne, catcher; Sabin, pitcher; Webster, hrst base; Rittenberg, second base; Grondahl, third base; Jones, short stop; Sechrist. left field; Trousdale, center field; Zabel, right field. This year the grounds ar in better shape than ever be- fore. MINOR SPORTS Minor sports, such as handball, cross cuntry runs, squash, boxing, restling and soccer, ar not on the official list of Reed athletics, but interest is taken by the students in each of these branches, handball being the most popular. Other sports wil probably spring up from time to time, and when interest warrants, they wil be placed on the official list. In handball, several turnaments for men hav been held. During the second year a round-robin turnament was puld off. Runyan being pronounst the singles champion, while in the doubles the freshman team, Webster and Norman, wer the winners after a hard contest with the upperclasmen, Runyan and Redman. Runyan again won the singles championship the third college year, tho Mr. Weber, assistant gymnasium instructor, prest him closely. The doubles championship was not de- cided. About fifty students enterd the open singles turnament this year; several of the faculty wer also among the entries. s; m. 1 AWK u ' '3 .19 5 Q7 49 I o 3 t0 kw 4-1:: H1 s 94 a w ' 1: . d! m 0'. w1 TCG-OF-W'AR, 1913 FRESHMAN LOSERS, 1914 SOFOMORE VICTORS, 1912 VICTORS OF 1913 AND 1914 . .J.. ,... -. .. 9-47. ,, .. -'..wx..-gf-'.'.'.'.1.'.'. :Ifo;:-. . - -1 l102l R E E D Webster was the winner of the Championship after some hard matches. Later a clas doubles turnament was held. Interest in handball seems to be groing among the men and additional courts, to be completed in the near future, wil provide places for more players. The first cros-cuntry run was held during the past year. Each clas was allowd five entries and points wer given to all the men who finisht. Webster was the winner over a course of two and a half miles. The freshmen clas, however, had the highest number of points with 23, the seniors being second with 20. The sofomores gaind 18 and juniors 17. The run has been made an annual event and wil beI counted in con- nection with track work. In squash no turnaments hav as yet been held, but it is probable that this sport wil be put on the list of regular activ- ities. Lack of courts is at present the greatest hindrance to this game; this objection wil be met in time. Boxing and restling classes hav met with very little general response at Reed, tho about a dozen men enterd into these strenuus forms of exercise last winter. As soon as there is a 1915 COLLEGE ANNUAL a. larger student body to pick from, these sports wil probably be taken up and carried thru by a larger and more enthusiastic number. Soccer has only been practist or tried by a rclativly small number of the men students. Those who tried it last fall, however, seemd to like the game thoroly and it wil probably be further developt as a form of fall athletics. Under minor forms of athletics, too, comes the annual tug-of-war between teams of men from the freshmen and sofomore classes. This has become an annual fall event at Reed and takes the interest of the underclasmen for the Erst few weeks of the college year. The pul takes place acros an arm of Crystal Springs Lake and the losers enjoy the privilege of being pnld thru the water by the victors. The first tug-of-war took place in February, 1913. when the sofomores had the honor of being the first to be puld thru the lake. In the fall of the next year, however, the winners of the year before tasted the water, at the hands of the fresh- men. Last fall, the sofomores broke the tradition of two years and easily pnld the freshmen thru. REED COLLEGE ADUWUAL 1915 11031 ATHLETICS FOR WOMEN XVomen enter into athletics at Reed with the same en- thusiasm as the men. They hav nearly as large a list of sports from which to choose as do the men, altho the relativ number of those entering is not so great. Baseball, tennis, track, hocky and basketball ar their present activ branches of athletics. Minor sports include handball, squash and vollyball and all popular gymnasium games. During the first year the women engaged in no organized activities but in the second, basketball, track and tennis wer opend up, and this year baseball and hocky teams wer first organized. BASKETBALL Clas basketball games wer playd the second year of college on the tennis courts. A1tho the teams did not get much chance to practis because of the rainy wether, some good games wer puld off. The sofomores wer victorius in both of the scheduled contests, but each time the score was close. 16 to 9, and the second 15 to 12. In the folloing year three teams enterd the race for the Championship and again the sofomores wer Victorius, while the freshmen wer second and the juniors last. It was necessary The first was to play an extra game to decide the Championship, as the' sofomores and freshmen had divided honors in their previus matches. More games and better basketball resulted during the third year, as the completed gymnasium gave a Chance for more consistent practis. The dormitory-daydodger c011- test this year was very close and exciting, the dormitory winning by a score of 15 to 14. The all-star team included Dorothy Elliott and Edna Metcalf, forwards; Margaret XValton and Evelyn Fatland, centers; Adele Brault and Elizabeth Morgan, gards. The race the past year was also very close, and again the sofomores won out with the juniors second, the seniors third and the freshmen last. The final and deciding game was won by the sofomores from the juniors by the score of 6 to 5. The daydodger-dormitory game was close, resulting in a victory for the dormitory. Basketball seems to be thoroly establisht as the principal womerfs sport at Reed and plans wil be carried thru in the near future to interest even more Of the women students in this game. BASEBALL Indoor or p1ayg'round baseball was playd last winter by a considerable number of the women, four clas teams competing 11041 R E E D COLLEGE ANNUAL + 1915 for the championship. The sofomores wer the winners, with the juniors second, the seniors third, and the freshmen last. This was the first year in which this activity has been taken up, but considerable interest has been shown by the women. HOCKY This spring, hocky was playd for the first time. How- ever, no regular contests hav taken place up to the time of this writing, so it is impossible to say with just how much en- thusiasm the women wil enter into the sport. Judging from the way in which the women of other colleges hav taken it up we may safely say that hocky wil be a success as one of the major athletic activities. TRACK Track work has been very popular with the women. Three indoor meets hav been held and an outdoor meet is being pland for this spring, which wil probably arouse wide competition. The first indoor track meet was on the twenty-second of January, 1913. Six events wer contested and only three of these wer individual events. The sofomores won easily, mak- ing 38 points to 4 for the freshmen. The list of events in- cluded the standing broad jump, high jump, 50-yard dash, relay race, basketball race and the Indian club elimination con- test. Dorothy Walton made thirteen points for the winners. The second indoor meet was held in the new gymnasium, and several events wer thus added to the program. The juniors wer again victorius, but by a much smaller margin. They made 27 points, the sofomores 24 and the freshmen 19. The medicin-ball race, the basketball thro and the horizontal bar vault, wer added to the list of events, while the Indian club elimination contest was dropt. Edna Acheson made a noteworthy record in this meet by clearing four feet, two and an eighth inches in the high jump, very close to the womeifs intercollegiate record. This year other events wer added to the meet, but again the senior women wer victorius, scoring 36 points of a pos- sible 78. The sofomores made 25, the juniors 13, and the freshmen 4. The somersault race and the obstacle race, both good events, wer put on the program. Edna Metcalf was the star of this meet, winning four nrst places and making over half of the senior points. The outdoor meet this spring should ad much interest in track work among the women, and there is no reason to dout ABOVE, DORMITORY TEAM, 1914; SENIORS. 1915; DAY-DODGERS, 1914: BELO, SOFOMORE CHAM- PIONS, 1914; SOFOMORE CHAM-- PIONS, 1915; FRESHMEN, 1915. :3?

Good courts hav greatly added to the general interest. In March of this year a ranking turnament including over one fourth of the women was started, while more wil undoutedly enter when the new courts ar finisht. The first regular womenis tennis turnainent was an open singles turnainent the latter part of the second year. Marion Roper was the winner at this time, defeating Olive Kincaid in some Close sets. Last year Emma DuBruille won the college championship. This year no turnament has been finisht, altho the ranking of women players this spring put Miss DuBruille at the top. Thirtyafour women wer rankt. The championship turnament wil be held in May, and the womenys interclas contests wil be playd off this spring for the first time. COLLEGE ANNUAL 4- 1915 MINOR SPORTS FOR WOMEN Minor athletic activities, that is, those which do not count toward a letter or numeral, ar given some attention among the women. Of these handball, squash and vollyball ar the most prominent. In handball, the women hav run off a turna- ment each of the last two years and interest in both was unusually strong. Virginia Mackenzie was the winner of the turnament last year, while this year Adele Brault won in some close and exciting games. Interest in handball promises to gro among the women and it may soon be placed on the list of major activities. In vollyball only the daydodger-dormitory contests wer held last year, but clas teams may be organized by another season. Good games wer playd last fall, and the sport promises to be popular as a fall activity for the women. Squash is playd by a few women but not enuf general interest has as yet been aroused to hav turnaments. Whether one wil be on the list of regular events next year depends on the number activ in the game next winter.

In 1913 these dances wer of a competitiv nature, being pland and executed by the members of the sofomore and freshman classes, respectivly. They wer both Maypole dances, but of a widely different kind, the fresh- men dance, directed by Mary Brownlie, being a gay pesant frolic, with costumes of brilliant hues, while the sofomores, led by Clara XVuest, presented a $10, graceful waltz, the color scheme of which was white and gold. At this time the silver cup offerd by Dr. Rowland for the best dance, was awarded to the sofomores. The dances held during the Portland 1915 Conference wer workt out on a more elaborate scale, the freshmen, sofo- more and junior classes participating. At the same time national organizations of Portland presented in costume folk- dances of their varius cuntries. The dances wer given on the open green to the north of the Arts Bilding. The only Maypole ,. .,r. Mags 1' 4, . dance of this group was that of the freshmen under Irene Lacey. The pole was deth with scarlet streamers, and the costumes of the girls wer red and white. The sofomores pre- sented an English folk-dance, the features of which wer pictur- esque shepherdess costumes, and the singing of an old Maypole ballad of the sixteenth century. The music for this dance was Edward German's ttShepherdess Song from King Henry the Eighth. Lois Williams was the leader of the sofomores. The apple-blossom dance of the juniors, directed by Elsa Gill, rep- resented the blossoming of the apple tree in the springtime and the falling of the pink and white petals. All three dances shoed the result of ingenius planning and careful practis. They wer given 011 two days of the conference and attracted considerable attention, crowds of visitors coming out to see them on both occasions. As a result of these May-dances the women of the college hav shown an enthusiastic interest in esthetic and folk dancing, and further dril in graceful and rythmic movements has be- come a part of the regular work of the Department of Fysical Education. 1. m SOFOMORE DANCE 1914 HUNGARIAN DANCE 1914 SOFOMORE DANCERS 1913 FRESHMAN DANCERS 1913 i ,, ,, , .; .7i9r.-yanw-..u.Wn-yrtr.mrmmitm.n ' , L.

DRAMATICS REED COLLEGE ANNUAL 19 1 5 WI DRAMA CLUB HE Drama Club had its beginnings during the sec- ond year of the college. when a group of women I interested in dramatics formd the Cothurnian Club $ with the purpose of arousing interest in dramatics among the students and of presenting plays for the K9 college and its trends. Owing to stage limitations and t0 the fact that the membership at that time consisted of women only, but one play, The Piperis Pay, was given during the year. However, this play, presented in the social room of the Arts Bilding on a small stage improvised for the occasion, was sufficient to arouse considerable interest in the possibilities of dramatics at the college. In the folloing' year the membership was thrown open to men, and the work was undertaken more seriusly. During this second year the Drama Club was fortunate enuf to num- ber among its frends Professor Hammond, whose experienst advice was invaluable to the organization. Under her super- vision the Drama Club presented a group of Irish plays by Lady Gregory. and Bernard Shawis 111011 of Destiny in the social room of the men's dormitory. These wer given first before the students and wet repeated later in the year to an audience of trends of the college from off the campus. The third year markt an even greater step in the life of the Drama Club as an organization. In the two former years the sole interest had been in the formal presentation of plays, and the club met, as a club, merely at stated intervals to transact business. At the beginning of the current year, however, the Drama Club decided to hold evening meetings once a month, at which informal dramatic programs would be given by its members. Lady Gregory's VVorlelzousc Ward, Maeterlinck's Barbe Blcu, Shakespeareis songs in their settings, and Shaw's Pygmalion she the diversity of subjects in which the members hav tried their skil. Besides these informal affairs, Galsworthyis Pigeon was given in the auditorium of the Lincoln High Seool, being the first play to be presented off the campus. Interest has stedily increast in dramatics with each suc- ceeding year of college life. From its unpretentius beginnings the Drama Club has grown until it has come to hold a promi- nent place in student life. XVith the erection of the new VVomenE Bilding and the subsequent provision of an adequate place for staging its plays, there can be no dout that the field wil be opend for greater accomplishments. Irish Plays Early in December, 1913, two of Lady Gregory's one-act plays wer presented by the Drama Club in the social room of the men's dormitory. The dominant cord struck by them was simplicity, and the students tried, as the Irish players hav tried, to make up for the lack of setting and elaborate costuming by .-..fu tum ,..i..,i a .., w-Y'Nti-Y'LH'ECLH'; ' ' H t 57. ii; if r? n...- n.

The social room of the men,s dora mitory, where the play was given, with its dark oak paneling and dim staircase in the background, formd an excellent set- ting for the quaint old Italian in in which the action takes place. The incident upon which the play is based is supposed to be taken from the life of Napoleon during one Of his early Italian campains, but as is caracteristic 0f the work of this dramatist, the interest centers in the dialog rather than in the story itself. The manner in which the cast carried their parts shoed that they not only cant the spirit of the play but appre- ciated the skil and wit of the satire. :L;c Ln; :yH'uH. 3155.551. m:.g..1.u.;..ur.:.

The piece was put on by the Drama Club and directed by Professor Josephine Hammond. The Pigeon is a social thesis, dramatized with enuf tecnic and caracterization to stand as a realistic drama portray- ing a fase of modern life. The HPigeOIYy is an English artist kept penniless by his own charity. He takes into his house three undesirables, a Hower vender, a vagabond, and a drunken cab driver. His practical dauter calls in three social reformers, a hard-sheld justis 0f the peace, a theorist, and a churchman. After the reformers hav tried their pet schemes the paupers ar at least as badly off as before and certainly les happy. The play ends with the TiPigeon undoutedly the most sympathetic and, from the point of view of the benehciaries at least, the most successful, and possibly the wisest of those who attempt to 501v the prob- lem. The presentation of the play was professional in tecnic. The actors lost themselvs in their caracters and the audie ence responded to the sympathetic interpretation with similar t; moods.

Lindsley Ross French Play The first act of Moliere's Bourgeois Gentilhomme with the original music of J. B. Lully, was presented before the col- lege in the reception room of the Arts Bilding on the evening of March nineteenth. The production was a faithful attempt to reproduce as nearly as possible the atmosfere of the original performance as it took place at Chambord in 1670. The participants wer all members of a loosely organized group of French students in the college usually cald the Acardanie, i ;r14 J 1 9 15 11171 and their work with the little play was partly for their own amusement, and partly to introduce the college to the Bow- geois Gentillzonmzrc as a preliminary to engaging interest in its production as a whole during the coming year. The springs of the plot ar not deep in the interior of the human hart, but involv, nevertheless, some essentially human caracteristics, so that Moliere,s inspired merriment fixes itself hartily upon all witnesses of his play. Monsieur Jourdain, the bourgeois with aristocratic notions and aspirations, is the center of a little scene, in which a ballet master and music master at brought with their disciples to apply as much polish as the bourgeois soul is capable of receiving. The singing lesson and the dancing lesson ar really funny, so that Moliere himself must hav laft whenever he took part in them. Lully, who was court musician to Louis XIV, and the pio- neer in French opera at Versailles, composed some of his best music for the songs of the piece, and the portion of the play produced contains several of the best ones of them. Dr. Cushing was principally activ in the production of the Bourgeois Gcntilhommc, tho all of the Academic wet in coop- eration. The costuming and staging wer under the direction of Lois Williams.

Die Literatur, a comedy by the Austrian dramatist, Arthur Schnitzler, was playd in German; Deth and the F001, a tragedy by Hugo von Hoffmansthal, was presented in an English metrical transla- tion. I Die Literatur is a sketch of the literary life of the Austrian capital. The plot is constructed around the ambitions of Margarethe, a beautiful and selfish woman with a flattering opinion of her own powers. The comedy begins with a con- versation between Margarethe and Clemens, a Viennese noble- man whom she hopes to marry. She pretends to be interested in his hobby of horse-racing, but it soon appears that she has, contrary to his ambitions for her, been riting a novel which is soon to be publisht. Clemens rushes out to suppress the novel, leaving Margarethe to believe that he has forsaken in riting leads to a comparison of their two novels, from which it appears that both hav 1nc0rporated letters reminiscent of a previus love affair of the authors. The contents of the letters at such that discovery wil prevent Margaretheis hopes of marriage. Just then Clemens comes back with the solitary copy of Margaretheis book, which he has supprest. Gilbert maliciusly gives Clemens a copy of his own book. When Clemens states that, contrary to his usual interests, he wil read both novels, Margarethe, safegarding her ambitions and saving the incident from ending tragically, takes her own book and throes it into the fire with a renunciation of thz'c Litcratur for Clemens sake. This comedy, caracterized by brilliant conversation, was presented by Joyce Kelly as Baron Clemens, Lois Williams as Margarethe and Alexander Lackey as Gilbert. The pro- nunciation and caracterization of all three actors met with approval. Von HoffmansthalTS Beth and The Pool is quite uncon- ventional dramatically; it has few dramatic moments, and consists largely of a monolog by the Fool. More lyric than dramatic, the play givs a poetic portrayal of the caracter of a man whom the author calls a 11001?

ANTIGONE S THE long spring weeks of 1914 brightend into summer it was fitting that, for the time, the whole college should turn Greek, in preparation for that solem festival in honor of the Great God that should crown each year. It was fitting, too, that even the Gothic chapel should transform itself into a Greek temple, and the library belo into a greenroom, while the com- munity gave itself to thepresentation of Sophocles, tragedy. The difficulty of creating a Greek stage in the chapel, or, having created it, of creating ways of getting actors upon it from behind the scenes seemd at moments beyond conquering. To present in Greek again, by inexperienst actors, before an American audience a play at once so fundamental and yet so remote from the motivs that stir us today seemd a task for supermen. That in our stage manager, and her corps of aids, we had some such more than mortals, the outcome shoed. The American audience, seeing Antigone in the dawn, disclosing her purpose to tearful Ismene, and seeing the lovely color pa- geant offerd by the Theban corus. descending the steps at the right of the stage, had no sense of difhculty 0r remoteness. Antigone, slim, girlish, with bowd hed, but unshaken wil; Creon, unhappy autocrat, moved too late to mercy; Tiresias, trembling in voice and limb, but bearing king and people before him by his majesty; the loquacius gard; the eloquent little 1915 COLLEGE ANNUAL 4- messenger; Eurydice, the queen, distraut by cumulated disas- ter; Haemon, son and lover, flinging himself from our sight to his doom; all these livd before us. They wer of every age and our age. Before the universal Vision of human weakness restling with a fate beyond its strength, ourselvs and time and place were alike forgotten, Much as the principals did to effect this result, the Theban women must not be forgotten. They servd as interpreters, who supplied the atmosfere invwhich, for many of the audience, the play moved and was transfigured. Their weeks of rehear- sal, under leaders who spared neither time nor skil, bore ample fruit. er caut our mood from their ecstatic faces and swirling forms as they sang and danst in the wonderful ode to Bacchus, or from the saddend gaze and lagging step with which they left us, to the words of their Coryphaeus, ttGreat words of prideful men ar ever punisht with great bloesf, The giving of Antigone will always be a memory of beauty. To those who workt hard, thru fatigue and discour- agements for many weeks, the memory of fatigue has blotted itself out in the comfort of a noble result achievd against ods.

Everywomads Road The most elaborate dramatic presentation yet attempted by the college wil be the production of Ewrywommfs Road dur- ing the early part of commencement week. The play, which was ritten by Professor Josephine Hammond, is a morality of woman as Worker, Waster, and Keeper of the Flame. It partakes 0f the nature of both allegory and pageant, its most impressiv features being the three symbolic processions of the Burden Bearers, the Flame-Keepers and the Joygivers. Th0 the cast includes every woman in the college there ar only four speaking parts. Of these the rble of Everywomm: has been assignd t0 Adele Brault. Lois Williams wil embody the Spirit of Art and Josephine Saunders is to represent the Flames of Life. Professor Hammond, besides having ful charge of the production, wil take the part of Truth.

At that time an attempt $ was made to create in the students a taste for really good music, giving them the opportunity of hear- ing, every day at chapel, the work of some great composer. Mr. Stahl and Miss Frances Sheehy, a pianist of ability, then a student in the college, had charge of this part of the servis, and much of the success of the plan was due to their careful selection and arrangement of the music. The selections which wer playd wer chosen, not only for their artistic merit, but also for their melody, in order that they might appeal equally to those with or without musical train- ing. The result of this attempt was that the students became familiar with good music, and a high standard of taste was establisht, which has made itself felt in all the later musical work of the college. During the first year, 1911-1912, there was no one con- nected with the college who could undertake to direct any regular group singing. However, a corus, of which practically everyone in college was a member, was organized and child by Mr. Carl Denton, of Portland, who is prominently cone nected with the Symfony Orchestra and other musical bodies A4. :-,I: '2 ,.Lh:$.' in the city. This corus sang at the laying of the cornerstone of the Arts Bilding and also at the first College Day exercises. In the fall of 1912 Howard Barlow came to Reed from the University of Colorado. Upon the recommendation of the music department of that institution and of varius persons with whom he had workt, he was immediately made college corister, which position he has retaind ever since. A corus of about thirty voices was organized at once under his direction and gave its first concert at Christmas, 1912, and its second at Easter, 1913. During the second semester of this same year, 1912-1913, two musical events of importance took place. One was a Schubert recital arranged for the year before but never given, at which the best of Schubertls songs, such as xlDer Lindenbaumf ttDer Erlk'onigf, and ltDer Musensohnf, wer sung by Ruth Barlow, Clara Wuest, Harry Wembridge, Howard Barlow, and Raymond Branion. The other was Liza Lehmanls song-cycle, In a Persian Garden. The soprano and contralto numbers wer sung by Mrs. Delphine Marx and Mrs. Rose Bloch-Bauer, both prominent musically in Portland, and the tenor and baritone solos by Harry VVembridge and Ray- mond Branion. This concert servd to introduce the college to the city musically and won for it the cooperation of the musical interests of Portland. .2; ii 5': if i z i N.Idv l1281 R E E D The first musical event of importance in the year 1913- 1914 was the Thanksgiving concert by the corus. Gounod's Galliu was sung by the corus and the 11Pilgrims' Corns from Thamzlzauscr by the menis glee club. A Christmas concert was also prepared, the program of which consisted of old French, English, German and Bohemian carols, and an Easter concert folloed at which selections from Gounodls Redemption wer given. During the spring semester a Brahms recital and a folksong recital wer arranged under the auspices of the Omnibus Club and the direction of the faculty music come mittee. The program for the former was made up of such of Brahnfs songs as ttDu bist eine Koniginf Feldeinsamkeitl, and the HForge Song? and for the latter of English, German, Scandinavian, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Balkan, and Oriental folk-songs. The soloists for these last two concerts wer Ruth Barlow, Clara Wuest, Phila McDuffee, Harry VVem- bridge, Howard Barlow, and Raymond Branion. In February, 1914, Mr. Carl Becker, organist at the White Temple, of Portland, gave at one of the open meetings of the Deutsche Verein, a lecture recital on modern piano music such as that of Debussy. Music had a prominent part in the production of the Antigone of Sophocles given by the Greek department in May, 1914. The Greek corus, of fifteen women, with Clara Wuest as soloist, was under the direction of Dr. Cushing. Mendels- sohn's music for the tragedy was used. COLLEGE ANNUAL -? 1915 111 the fall of 1914 the corus was organized on an effi- ciency basis. Since then it has consisted of about thirty voices, and only those people ar admitted who can satisfactorily pas a test in voice quality and sight reading. At Christmas an impressiv concert was given. It was made particularly effectiv by the entrance of the black-robed corus, each singer bearing a candle, which helpt to illuminate the room. The program consisted of Christmas carols, and the Nativity portions of HandeYs Messiah. The most remarkable musical event of the early months of 1915 was the chamber concert given by Mrs. Pipesl trio. This trio, composed of Mrs. Pipes, violinist, Mr. Konrad, lcellist, and Mr. Hutchinson, pianist, is one of the most noted groups in Portland and has playd privately in the city and thruout the state for some time. The program given consisted of Anton Dvorakls Dumky Trio, op. 101, and Benja- min Godardls Trio in F, op. 72. When the first act of Moliteres comedie-ballet, Le Bour- geois Gcntilh-omme was presented by the French club in March, 1915, Lullyls charming music, ritten for the original produc- tion in 1670, was given with it. This is the only thing in the way of light opera which has yet been done at the college. The solos and trios wer sung by Adele Brault, Clara Wuest and Harry Wembridge. In April, 1915, the corus gave a vesper concert consisting of the 1KSanctusll from Gounod's Saint Cecilia Mas, and Maun- deris anthem, HPraise the Lord.

On this occasion the Persian Garrdmz music wil be done entirely by college people. Ruth Barlow, Clara VVuest, Harry VVembridge, Howard Barlow, and Milton Runyan wil take solo parts. Under the auspices of the Omnibus Club a musicale was given in April. The features of the program wer a group of Hindu songs and the prolog of Pagliacci, which wer sung in costume. The glee club sang two songs for mens voices by Frederick Field Bullard, and a dormitory girlts quintet made its first appearance at this time. When Professor Josephine Hammondis morality, Every- iUOMlaILJS Road is produced in June, the incidental music by Mr. John Marshall of Boston wil be given by a corus of one hundred women under the direction of Dr. Cushing. During the years 1912-1913 and 1913-1914 the glee club was composed of practically all the male voices in the corus and was under the direction of Howard Barlow. While thus organized it sang in the Thanksgiving concert of 1913, at the Portland Ad Club, and at varius college functions. In the fall of 1914, when the corus was pruned the glee club also underwent a change and was reduced to a double quartet under Dr. Cushingis direction. Since this change was made the club has appeard at the Christmas concert of 1914, at the Omnibus Club concert in April, in chapel, on Rally Day, at President Fosterts debating dinner, and at other college affairs. VESPER MUSIC The music for the Sunday vesper servises which wer begun in the fall of 1912 was carried on by Frances Sheehy as pianist and Ruth Barlow, Clara Wuest, Harry VVembridge, Milton Runyan, and Raymond Branion as vocalists. During the year 1913-1914 the vesper music was taken care of by a quartet composed of Phila McDuffee, Clara Wuest, Harry Wembridge, and Milton Runyan, and under the direction of Dr. Cushing. For the present year Clara Wuest and Harry Wembridge hav sung solos and duets. In connection with Portland music the most important activities of the college ar these. Thru an arrangement with Mrs. Tait, business manager of the Portland Symfony Or- chestra, fifty Reed students hav become subscribers for that organization. Raymond Branion was for some time soloist at Saint Davidis Episcopal Church. At present Howard Barlow is quire director at the First M. E. Church, Clara XVuest is a member of the Centenary M. E. Church quire, and Dr. Cush- ing is organist at Trinity Episcopal Church. Singing by the student body is an important part of the chapel servises and other student meetings. Several Reed songs hav alredy been ritten, the three most frequently sung being ttFair Reeoi to the air of 11Believe Me If All Those Endearing Yung Charmsii; The Song of the First-Born? which was ritten and presented to the first clas by Dr. Charles Nth REED COLLEGE ANNUAL T. Burnett of Bowdoin College, and which has since been adopted by the college; and the iiReed Rondelii, of which the words and air, an adaption of from the iiRundgesangN of Schumann, wer ritten by Dr. Eleanor Rowland. FACULTY MUSIC COMMITTEE There has never been a chair of music at Reed altho there has always been need for one. In View of this fact the work of such a department of instruction has fallen upon other members of the faculty. This work has been done by the faculty music committee, the personnel of which has been as folloes: For 1912-1913, Mr. Stahl, chairman, Dr. Rowland, and Howard Barlow; for 1913-1914, Mr. Stahl, chairman, Dr. Rowland, Dr. Cushing, and Howard Barlow; and for 1914- 1915, Dr. Cushing, chairman, Dr. Rowland, and Mr. Stahl. Great credit is due to the members of the committee, both in- dividually and collectivly, for the results achievd in spite of the obstacles raised by shortage of time and facilities. Dr. Rowlandis wide acquaintance with music has made her assist- ance particularly valuable in such things as the choice and arrangement of programs. Dr. Cushingis ability as a pianist and his experience in directing music hav enabled him to take charge of varius activities and to oversee the whole very ef- fectivly. The greatest credit is, however, due to Mr. Stahl, who is responsible for having initiated, and done much to L; .4.: . 4v1w. 1915 nnl carry on, the regime of interest, good taste, and good work which has obtaind since the opening of the college. Howard Barlowis remarkable ability in conducting the corus has made him an important factor in the musical development of the college, and it is plesant to note that his powers hav been recognized in the award of the Butler Scolarship at Columbia which wil enable him to continue his career. In speaking of the future of music at Reed one of the principal things to be noted is the Olds Memorial Organ which wil be dedicated about the fifteenth of May. Besides giving an opportunity for organ recitals this wil ad much to the chapel and vesper servises, and to all musical programs given in the Chapel. The Christmas concert of the corus has now become a flxt event and its effectivness wil be much increast by the organ. with next year a plan, partially carried out this year, may be put into operation. This plan is to hav one Friday evening of each month set apart for a musical event of some kind. Altho it is not probable that the college wil again hav, for some time to come, so excellent :1 corister and such competent vocalists as at present, the pros- pects ar stil bright. It is pland to organize a small student quire next year to sing regularly at chapel; and, with the addition of the organ and the number of events alredy being prepared for, there should be no dearth of music. It is hoped that beginning :..:.:'.1 n3::iy:-;. ML-L. I1821 R E E D OLDS MEMORIAL ORGAN Mr. William P. Olds, 0f the Board of Trustees, is the donor of a pipe organ for use in the college chapel. This gift is a memorial to the late Mrs. Olds, wife of the donor. At the beginning of the current year the faculty music committee, con- sisting of Dr. Rowland, Mr. Stahl and Dr. Cushing tchair- maiw, was requested to aid in selecting the organ. After care- ful investigation and consideration of Skinner, Austin, Kim- ball and Estey organs and of organ bilders the committee re- ported that an Estey 0f thirty-four stops and costing about ten thousand dollars was, in their judgment, the organ most suitable to the Chapel and best fltted for the purposes for which it wil be used. This organ was chosen.

It wil be completed about the middle of May, when it wil be dedicated, and wil be used for the spring concert of the corus, for chapel and vespers, and for the exercises of commencement week. It is Mr. Olds1 desire that the organ be used freely by all Reed students who have the tecnical skil, and be heard daily by the college community, so that music may become more and more an integral part of the experience and life- equipment of the students. Since Mrs. Olds spent much of her life in musical pursuits this memorial wil prove peculiarly fitting and beautiful if it may serv to stimulate the love of that art to which she was so devoted. REED COLLEGE ANNUAL1915 DEBATING INCE the extra-currienlar activities of Reed hav 8 become organized, debating has engaged at great deal of enthusiasm from a number of students. A $3; feeling of particular interest in this activity possi- bly resulted from two causes;Dr. Fosterts emi- U nence as an authority on argumentation, and sec- ondly, the realization of the student body that this was one field in which they might meet other colleges. A share of the enthusiasm which might otherwise hav been directed to inter- collegiate athletics was thus turnd toward debating. From it has been gaind, in part at least, the acknowledged good of inter- collegiate contests, the power to weld together the student body. During the first year of Reed's existence, the man, inter- ested in debating, organized a club which they cald the John Adams Debating Society. For that first year all debating took place under its auspices. Since that first year Dr. Foster has offerd courses in argu- mentation. Thru them debating activity has been stil further increast. In the year 1912-1913, the first debate open to the public was given in connection with the debating course on the subject of commission government for Portland, which ques- tion was at that time before the people for decision. From this time Dr. FosterIs classes furnisht an outlet for general debat- ing activity so that the John Adams Debating Society has ceast to exist. With three classes in the college keener competition in the debates was made possible. In May, 1914, the first inter-clas debates took place. The question discust was as to whether or not the proposed initiativ inesure providing for proportional representation in the Oregon legislature should be adopted. In the flrst of these the sofomores defeated the freshmen, and in the second the sofomores wer in turn defeated by the juniors. The winning team was composed of Robert Sabin, David Brace and Raymond Branion. Harry VVembridge, Lowell Bradford and Alexander Lackey made up the sofomore team, while Clarence Young, Horace Miller and Jay Sechrist wer the fresh- man contestants. This year, notwithstanding the keen interest in the col- legeIS first inter-collegiate contest, minor debating has com- manded more than ordinary interest. For one thing, the pres- ence of four classes in the field has made inter-clas competi- tion keener than before. The question selected this year had to do with the proposed decrease in the United States navy, and it has been thresht out in three closely contested debates, leaving the juniors in possession of the inter-clas championship. The winning juniors wer George Axtcll and Lloyd Carrick; the t1361 R E E D freshmen who defeated the sofomores in a preliminary con- test wer Charles Cohn and Edward Shears. Robert Sabin and Delbert French represented the seniors, and Clyde Beals and Horace Miller wer the sofomore team. Dr. Fosteris courses, too, hav become larger from year to year, and his second-year students hav many opportunities to debate. Each week open debates hav been held in the Chapel upon disputed questions of the day, folloed by a general discus- sion from the Hoot. Among the questions considerd hav been the subject of intervention in Mexico by the United States, commission government for Oregon, ttWhen in dout vote no, and government ownership of railroads. Dr. Foster 'has insisted that a debate is not merely an intellectual exercise for those taking part in it, but on the contrary, should be one of the best possible means of gaining reliable, all-round information upon a subject. But this benefit is lost unless the questions chosen hav to do with topics of current interest. By folloing this plan in the selection of subjects for debate, the student body has been interested in the subject matter of the debate, rather than in the winner. INTERCOLLEGIATE DEBATE This year the great interest in debating centerd around the first inter-collegiate contest. Near the close of the 1914 spring semester a permanent contract was drawn up between COLLEGE ANNUAL + 1915 the University of Washington and Reed College providing for two debates to be held between the institutions each year, one at Seattle and one at Portland. The contract provides that in CLARENCE YOUNG LOWELL BRADFORD one year one of the institutions shal submit three questions to the other, and the latter shal then select one of them as the subject for debate. For the first debate Reed College submitted the questions and of the three, the University of Washington chose to discuss the proposition, Resolvd, that a minimum wage H' REED COLLEGE ADUtUAi law should be adopted in Oregon and XVashington, constitu- tionality waivd. The try-outs for the two teams to represent Reed wer held upon this subject. Preparation for the discussion of so comprehensiv a subject ment real work. Information was gath- erd from every possible source. Thursday evening labor eon- ferences wer held at the college and the question of the minimum wage was discust from every point of view by practical author- ities-employers, skild and un- skild laborers, trade-union repre- sentativs, social workers, and members of the Industrial XVel- fare Commission. Some of the debaters wer also fortunate enuf to be able to attend the minimum wage hearings before the United States Commission on Industrial Relations which wer held in Portland last summer. None of the Reed debaters ARTHUR HAUCK had had any previus experience in inter-collegiate debating, but they had learnd from debates at college that nothing is so essential as thoro knoledge 0f the subject. The tryouts were held in November and the men 1915 inn fmally chosen to represent the college wer Lowell Bradford and Arthur Hamek for the afhrmativ and Harry tVembridge and Clarence Young for the negativ. In accordance with the usual custom, the affirmativ team debated at home and the negativ team Visited. The debates wer held 011 the night of January fifteenth. At Reed the afhrnmtiv team developt the point that eight thousand men in Oregon and XVash- ington wer receiving lea than two dollars 21 day. They pointed out that 21 minimum wage law was the Only means of ensur- ing these men a living wage, social insurance, industrial education, re stricted immigration, em- ployment agencies, and labor unions h a V i 11 g proved ineffectiv to help the unskild workers. It was further shown that the minimum wage was economically sound and would not increase the HARRY WEMBRIDGE i188j R E E D cost of commodities manufactured in Oregon and VVashingtou. The XNashiugton team sought to. sho that the real labor problem on the Pacific coast was not a matter of lo wages but rather one of unemployment. They did not, however, clearly demonstrate that the minimum wage law would increase that evil. The University of XVashiugtou's affirmativ team at Seattle effectiv pointed out the evils of low wages, but placed the min- imum wage as high as nine hundred dollars. Such a wage in- Volvs a large number of men in the two states and made such negativ arguments as driving out industry and increasing un- employment particularly effectiv. So in reply to their argu- ments the Reed uegativ team pointed out the radical nature of the law and its impracticability. Particularly emfasized was the fact that no source of production would yield the required COLLEGE ANNUAL + 1915 increase in wages, and that the increast cost of production re- sulting from the passage of the law would drive many much needed industries away from Oregon and NVashiugton. The judges at Seattle wer James A. Haight, Mr. Vivian M. Carkeek, and Reverend Sydney Strong; those at Reed Dr. George Rebec, Mr. F. D. Morrison, and Judge XV. B. Gilbert. The debate is, of course, past history, but history which for us stil holds a thril. Reed was awarded the unanimus decision in both debates. When news was receivd from Seattle of the result there, the campus exprest its joy in torchlight proces- sions, appreciativ yels, and hilarius congratulations.

To this end, social affairs hav been made as simple and as democratic as possible. Exelusiv or- ganizations of any sort ar not to be found at Reed, because the students realize that they do not conform with the ideal of group solidarity which they hav set for themselvs. The whole social situation may be sumd up in the words tta normal amount of social activity for every student? Tho democracy is the keynote of the social life of the col- lege there ar certain functions of a rather formal nature each year. The first two of these, the sofomore reception and the President's reception to the new students, ar primarily for the Purpose of getting the freshmen acquainted with each other and with the rest of the college. The other two ar clas affairs, 7 V w H , v the Junior Prom and the commencement reception and dance. 1914 RALLY RIGH I QLARFILT H401 R E E D COLLEGE ANNUAL + 1915 another time when all, even seniors and faculty members, for- get their dignity. Stunts ar the main feature of the celebration, and it has been suggested that the name ttStunt night be sub- stituted for the Rally on the college calendar. Campus Day, River Day, and College Day, tho described elsewhere, deserv mention with other social gatherings, for at no time during the year do the students get together with more complete unity of purpose, either for working or playing, than they do on these much-talkt-of occasions. Prominent in the list of the years entertainments is the costume party on VVashingtonis birthday. This is probably the most picturesque and elaborately pland party of the semester. The costumes ar usually representativ of varius periods in American history and ar workt out with no little ingenuity and historical accuracy. Dancing, tableaux, and special music form parts of the program. Dancing has been the most popular form of amusement during the last two years. The students hav been trying out the experiment of student body dances on the subscription plan, to which the women can come unescorted and the men ttstagi, if they ar so inclined. This plan, which makes possible a much larger attendance, has workt very successfully. The Comus Club, an organization of the men of the college, has also held a series of dances. All the gatherings which hav been mentiond ar open to every student. There ar, naturally, other affairs which take in different parts of the student body. For instance, the women of the college hav occasional dances from which the men ar excluded, and the men, under the auspices of the Christian Association, hold ttbachelor celebrations, of varius kinds. The different houses of the dormitory entertain for each other both formally and informally in their social rooms, and the men and women ar given an opportunity to meet each other in an atmosphere of mutual good felloship. Dancing is by no means the only form of amusement. Ice and roller skating, cros-cuntry hikes, picnics, banquets, sym- posia, and other forms of social intercourse ar increasing in popularity. Dramatics, too, offers a great opportunity for the students to become better acquainted with each other. On the whole the plan of social life has workt successfully. Tho taking an original stand in this, as in many other things, the students have been able to develop, in spite of all tradi- tions to the contrary, a sane and wholesum atmosfere of com- radeship and mutual cooperation.

It is a day when the whole community, face ulty and students, ar doing the same thing at the Kg same time and doing it because they want to. It is a day when there ar no differences of purpose or 1nterest. Good humor and zeal for work ar universal quali- ties. The immediate purpose of this day is the spring cleaning of the campus. The weeds in the lawn hav kept a large force busy every year, and from present appearance wil furnish work for many more years. The first Campus Day the old fences and a dilapidated chicken-house wer torn down and burnd, two detl trees wer cut down, and a number of logs and stumps wer de- stroyd. An old springhouse was also carried bodily some dis tance t0 the lake and was there enlarged and made into a boat- house; a landing was bilt; and the snags in the lake wer markt. A plank hoor for spectators was laid on both sides of the old tennis courts; brush, stumps, and logs hav been Cleard out of the ravine each year, paths cut along the lake, and about the campus, and the athletic field put in shape for spring work. The chief results of this years Campus Day hav been the cleaning-out of the swimming pool, the planting of fruit trees A t: l Lu ,7 ..v--.x.: .,. , , . v ..; T47h-e; ,, - . .t.'.;.rr;. .. and shrubs, and the cleaning of the ball diamond. The net result of each Campus Day has been to giv the campus an air of tonsorial felicity. The side issues of the day ar no les important. The bigr dinner at noon is attackt just as vigorusly as the weeds ar in the morning; and the entertainment in the evening furnishes an outlet for surplus enthusiasm accumulated during the day. An especially attractiv benefit vaudeville sho given by the dor- mitory women was the feature of entertainment this year. The practical value of Campus Day to the college is not a small item. Several hundred dollars ar saved yearly by work which would otherwise be done by hired laborers. The greatest benefit, however, is to be found neither in the improved condi- tion of the campus, nor in the mony saved, but in the feeling of group unity and the spirit of the occasion which make it possi- ble for diverse opinion and interest to be united in a com- 111011 cause.

The trip up on the boat occupies the whole morning; lunch, which is servd as soon after landing as possible, takes up the early afternoon; and the rest of the time until the hour for returning is spent in games, boating, and hiking to the varius picturesque spots in the vicinity. For three years the student body has voted in favor of River Day, as it is cald, and it seems probable that it wil become as wel establisht an institution as Campus Day or examinations. It is not a time when the students alone put aside their regular tasks, but faculty and offis force as wel ar given an opportunity to forget the grind of everyday routine, and the whole college givs itself over to a day of rest and play in the open air. HIGH SCOOL DAY High Scool Day, May twentieth, 1914, was adopted by the Student Council and student body as a means of giving information about the college to prospectiv students. More than seventy-five senior students from Portland high scools wer entertaind. A part of the afternoon was spent in the inspection of grounds, bildings and equipment. Later a game between the dormitory and day-dodger ball nines gave an example of the Reed athletic system. During the afternoon and evening there was dancing in the Assembly Hall. Supper was servd on the bank of Crystal Springs Lake under Miss Elizabeth Reedis supervision. During the meal President Foster, Dr. Rowland, Mr. Wood and Arthur Hauck made speeches about the college. COLLEGE DAY In the absence of the activities commonly associated with commencement week, the college celebrated College Day at the close of the iirst three years of the history of the college. At the close of the first year the day was cald Campus Day, a name later used for another holiday. The principal events wer the institution of a drinking ceremony at the spring in the ravine, the laying of the cornerstone of the dormitory by the Student Council, and two addresses at the natural amfitheater by Dr. David Starr Jordan and President Foster. The first Reed song, nThe Song of the First-Bornf ritten by Dr. Charles T. Burnett, was publicly sung for the first time on this day. The festivities in 1913 wer a traCk-meet, a ball-game and a cros-cuntry run between the two classes; and, in the after- noon, an informal mas-ineeting of students and faculty was addrest at the amfitheater by Dr. Sisson, Dr. Rowland, Gladys Lowden, Arthur Hauck and Lowell Bradford. A telegram of encouragement from President Foster, then in California, was red.

It is split into houses 011 the Oxford plan, and these ar numberd beginning at the west end, by the letters of the alfabet from A to H. 111 spite Of the i111pe11sonalsound of their names, however, the houses hav taken, each to itself, a caracter as definit as can be expected to linger about a mere material structure. The dormitory has assumed, indeed, a sort of multiple personality, with a separate compartment for each of its fases. In-dwellers in one such pigeon-hole who find themselvs out of harmony with its spirit always gravitate elsewhere; tho of course a few incongruus souls ever remain to cherish rebel feelings within the walls. The three houses at the west end hav been occupied chiefly by the faculty during the whole three years of the dorn1itory,s existence, and so naturally hav been grave and sedate. Now and then, however, at Mr. Fosters 011 Miss Rowland's a party of students has broken the wonted silence and quiet; at other times, too, the joy of life has been evident ennf,abnt these three hav had, even in their outward sem- blance, a sort of propriety and dignity, and from them never has come any of that uproarins din which occasionally sounds from another three at the opposit end. Here liv the 111en,f0rty of them all with lusty lungs a taste for music of a sort, a liking for all kinds of sport and an ability, latent in a few perhaps, to work ten hours 1a day. Divided, as they ar, into three groups by house lines, they hav had a tendency to 5110 a certain spirit of rivalry in play and work and hobbies. This emulation has exhibited itselfiat times in the contests in sportabaseball, basketball and hand- ball; at times, too, in the real conflict, when men of F hav assaulted the battlements of H, and all hands and the hose hav gatherd to repel boarders. But these tumults hav come seldom and departed quickly, leaving no i1 feeling in thei1 wake. The thing which has remaind with each of the houses, however is a special hobby, an avocation in life. In H this has been the spirit of cammadmze From the time of the forming of the uHard Egl Club the first year under the regime of Fritz Anderson, right down to the present the wine l1501 R E E D 0, life has run fast thru the veins of the inhabitants of House H. Many a jolly leeedii and grapejuice floing-bowl has gone down in its history, commemorated by a lyric, a satire or a farce from the hand of its poet laureate. House G has been from the nrst the home of the freshmen and the abode of noise. Its alarums, however, like the diversions of H, hav come only in the intervals between work. It has had two great distinctions during its history; it housed last year the only graduate that has gone forth from the dormitory, and produced this year the winning team in interehouse basket- ball. House F has ever had a unique place as the chief patron of those wonted muses of dormitory life, Venus and Terpsich- ore. In its walls the social graces hav fiourisht, and twice its Adonises hav sallied forth to dances of their own giving. During this last year Apollo, too, has come to stay in the person of the orchestra in Room 14. and here has been the rallying point for the musical activities of the meifs section of the dormitory. They hav had no monopoly on that commodity which hath such charms to sooth the savage beast, however, for the two houses in the middle section hav harbord this last year six pianos, which hav lent them rather more tltonel, than is found elsewhere within the walls. Of these melodius six, live ar in the one house, D, where the women also liV. Their life would seem, so far as ecoes hav reacht to mere outsiders, to be markt by two dominating passions: a love for law and COLLEGE ANNUAL 5- 1915 order, for there is found the only code of rules in the dormi- tory, and,-a keen tooth for spreds. Feminist-anarchists hav gaind no foothold in this sanctum apparently, tho there hav been now and again rumors of occasional midnight attic festivities, in contravention to all orders and precedent and mid-Victorian feminin limoreslll But an impartial analyst would be frankly willing to admit that there is about D little of the girls, boarding-scool flavor, and as for men they get there no consideration whatever, except as human beings; ar relegated, in fact, to the extreme background. Acros the sally-port in E the lone piano of the six is housed. During this year the three bachelors of the faculty hav hung out their shingles here, and in this house the literary and artistic spirit heretofore latent in the dormitory has found Maecenas in triplicate; especially hav the two Bowdoin men of the trio cherisht the divine spark, nourishing it with tea and delectable cakes at many a Sunday-evening salon, causing it to burn with a brighter glo in the highly esthetic atmosfere of their ltapartmentsf for this is the only part of the dormi- tory with which that name comports! So much, then, for the caracter of the varius houses. In addition to the life in each house, however, there has been a community social life as wel, which has centerd around the dining-room and men's common-room, at the east end of the bilding. In the one of these lo-ceilingd paneld rooms the collectiv inner man of the dormitory has found its daily ma- REED COLLEGE ANNUAL 1 9 1 5 usu terial sustenances; in the other after the meals ar over the men hav congregated to talk over the gossip and news of the day; sometimes too, after dinner, the women hav come in for MENTS SOCIAL ROOM an hour of informal dancing; again, impromptu drainatics and musicals hav taken place here at frequent intervals. One might wel imagin from this account that the dormi- tory life is all play and no work. But work is not only an integral part of the life, but the most important by far. A very real difficulty confronts him who would describe it, however, for the dominant note in scolarly activities of both men and women has been that of individualism. A wide diversity of interests,-1iterary, musical, scientific, sociologic, historioemarks this tendency. It makes undoutedly for versatility in an intellectual direction, and frequently interest- ing discussions at heard on the relativ merits of these practical and cultural fields as instruments for real education of the constructiv sort. The balance between the influence of the men in the different fields is so close, however, that a more than tolerant, more than grudging recognition is given to solid achievement in any line, whether it be in debating, newspaper work, biological investigation, fysical research, or literary expression. Often in different students, rooms men and women interested in varius problems of departmental or gen- eral interest hav met, sometimes on the spur of the moment, again by appointment, and hav thresht out to their great satisfaction questions of ethical and religius, filosofical and scientific bearing; or hav discust current topics such as, The Present Status of Psycic Research, The Attitude of the Dif- ferent Powers in, the Great War, The How and PVhy 0f anim'sm, Literary Form and Literary Spirit. How insuffer- ably pedantic, I can hear you say! What a sublime manifesta- tion of unconscins humor. VVel, perhaps so, but these thresh- 41?

The participants in these discussions hav not necessarily expected to set the world on fire immediately by the importance of their contribution to the sum total of human knoledge. They have gaind, on the other hand, some ability in organizing and presenting their ideas, which is apt to stand them in good sted when they come to react 0n the real situations of life. And after all, the dormitory in its three brief years has maintaind a proper balance between the purely human values and the work interests, between the social attractions and serius effort. It has had a happy admixture of the spice and toil 0' life, and has been, withal, a happy, humorus, interesting place to liV. REED COLLEGE ADUQUAJ + 1915 lbw SELF-SUPPORT VERY worthy student is helpt who has shown a markt capacity for helping himself? From the beginning of its existence the college has had by far the greater part of its work done by students. Such work as the care of equipment, clerical work, dining-hall and laundry servis and bookstore man- agement is handled in this way. Twenty-hve cents per hour is paid for unskild labor and thirty-three and a third cents per hour for skild labor. During the year 1913-1914 seventy per cent of the men students receivd income from work done for the college. The administration has also been activ in securing varius suitable positions for students during vaca- tions and after graduation. Besides these opportunities for self-help there ar at present in the hands of the college authorities eight loan-funds for the assistance of worthy students establisht by Mrs. Alice Joyce Houston, Mr. R. A. Booth, Dr. Thomas Lamb Eliot, Mr. Rich- ard Montague, Mr. C. Henri Labbe, Mrsr Elsie Dolph, Mr. Julius Meier, and Mr. W. B. and Mrs. Clara A. Fecheimer. A These funds ar of varying sizes and portions of them ar lent, 0n the judgment of the administration, to students. Up to the present time twenty-eight students hav receivd aid in this way. Many of the funds yield an annual amount to the college, and ar consequently cumulativ, each loan being eventually re- paid to the college to be used again. RELIGIUS LIFE EED COLLEGE is underiominational. The wil R containing the endowment provides that the insti- $ tition nforever be and remain free from sectarian inhuence, regulation or control, permitting those who may seek its benefits to affiliate with such religius societies as their conscience may dictate? N0 sectarian considerations enter into the election of trustees or faculty, or the admission of students. There at daily religius servises at the college, the Chapel servis at eight-forty six mornings a week and the vesper servis at four olclock Sunday afternoons. Attendance at neither of these servises is compulsory for students, and the vesper servis is open to the public. The chapel servis consists of music, both instrumental and vocal, and an address Of five or ten minutes. The vesper servis is of the same general nature. Practically all the faculty, and a large number of people from outside the college community take part in conducting these servises. During the current year the college Christian Association has conducted Bible-study classes and arranged for talks to be given on religius subjects. REED COLLEGE ADUWUAL e 1915 IBM EXTRAMURAL ACTIVITIES REED COLLEGE STUDENTS AS SOCIAL WORKERS Reed College students hav alredy made their influence felt in the social work of the city. Last winter, when the Gipsy Smith Tabernacle was occupied by unemployd men, a group of Reed students assisted in getting data which ulti- mately went to prove that unemployment in Portland was not altogether the result of shiftlessness, but rather an inevitable consequence of our seasonal industries. As a result of the education from last yearis experience, the city officials them- selvs hav taken hold of the problem this year, attacking it not as if it wer a problem in crime, but rather as one which is incident to industrial development. Again, thru the De- partment of Psycology, several delinquents of the city hav been subjected to mental tests by our students. This is a small be- ginning; but it is one of great consequence for the future treatment of the city's delinquents. By encouraging the men- tal tests, and assisting in giving them, Reed men and women at contributing very definitly t0 the social work of the city so far as it affects delinquents. Furthermore, the Recreation League Camp was virtually a Reed College affair. Three Reed men wer camp councillors, and two Reed women cookt the meals. Over fifty city boys wer reaeht in this way, many of whom had never known the joys of an out-of-door life. When the gymnasium was thrown open to them one night during the Christmas holidays, they came in hordes, and wer eager to learn about the plans for next summer. Stil another contact with the community is made by the men and women who ar leading boys and girlsy clubs at the settlements over the city. This kind of work should increase As a further reminder of the social and civic effort of our men and women, mention should be made of the fact that we supplied the Committee of One Hundred with a secretary, who helpt make Oregon dry; and that when the fate of commission government hung in the balance, it was our men who jumpt into the pan tor rather onto the soapeboxy and deter- mind the vote for the commission. Finally, when the North End threatend repeaters at the November elections, the polls wer watcht by Reed students. Much more could be said concerning the civic activities of Reed men and women, but the foregoing is simply evidence of what may be expected of them in the future. Nevertheless, of the record thus far we at all justly proud, because not always have American colleges thus realized their responsibil- I1561 R E E D COLLEGE ANNUAL + 1915 ities. Too often in the past a college has been conceivd as a sort of intellectual zoo, which the people came out to see, but which never went down to see the people. Often when some of the more restless animals did migrate from campus to town it was upon some escapade that landed them in jail. We hav no fraternities here at Reed; but may we not find llmoral equivalents, for fraternities in groups of students whose harts ar fild with enthusiasm for humanity? If so, per- haps the interests of what we term bculturell wil be the better servd. ' ARTHUR EVANS WOOD. POLITICAL WORK N THE endevor to carry out practically the ideal of making the college of servis t0 the community, a number of students hav interested themselvs in Q the political life of Portland and Oregon. The 3 sponsor of the movement has been Dr. Ogburn, Lug whose solid theoretical foundation and practical experience in political affairs haV enabled him to direct the activity efficiently and benehcially. The work done has been largely in the form of speeches on political questions, The conviction behind the work is that if democracy, especially in the form of popular government found in Oregon, is to sue- ceed, it must be thru an intelligent understanding on the part of the citizens of the problems at issue. The object, then, has I been to ad the colleges efforts to those alredy operating to educate the public in matters of government. The debut of the Reed men was made in the spring of 1913, when Harry W'embridge and Everett Trousdale expound- ed the doctrins of commission government from a soap-box at Sixth and Washington streets. A more pretentius program was outlined for the fall of 1914. Under the direction of Dr. Ogburn, the twenty-nine initiativ and referendum mesures voted on November fifth wer analysed and arranged for pre- sentation. The men spoke individually and in groups, the practis at the larger meetings being: a pointed survey of all the mesures by Dr. Ogburn, singing by Harry XVembridge, and detaild discussion of the mesures by two student speakers. 1 In most cases both sides of questions wer carefully given, the opinions of the speaker being given only as supported by weighty reasons. The work once started there was greater demand for speakers than the men had time to comply with. In all, twenty audiences, totaling fifteen hundred people, wer addrest; the meetings being those of clubs of varius kinds. Aside from these organized efforts individual students hav done political work. Most noteworthy was the employ- ment of Arthur Hauck as a secretary of the Committee of One Hundred during the late prohibition campain. Other instances ar the addresses of Harry Wembridge before the Oregon Civic Leag, and the talks of Horace Miller and Clar- ence Young on proportional representation in the Socialist Hall. REED COLLEGE ANNUAL + 1915 In a slightly different field, twenty Reed men and women, under the direction of Dr. Torrey, addrest all the scool chil- dren 0f the city during the llSwat the Fly, campain of 1914. Thus far the college activities in political life hav been beneficial not only to the students, but also to the listening Citizens. Intelligent men and women who hnd little time to analyze carefully the complex questions arising in popular government wil often listen attentivly to the advice of college students on such topics. As an extra-curricular activity of the intellectual type, student participation in affairs of government has been firmly establisht at Reed College. THE FISH HATCHERY N 1913, the Oregon State Fish and Game Commis- sion appropriated one thousand dollars for a station for the investigation of problems in Esh culture. 83 This is the first institution of the kind to be es- 3 tablisht in the United States under either federal Lag or state control. By an arrangement with the college a bilding was erected in the ravine belo the college plant. It servs as a hatchery and experimental laboratory. It is maintaind by the State Fish and Game Commission and Reed Institute in cooperation and is operated by the Department of Biology under the direction of Dr. Torrey. It is equipt with five large fish trofs, each of l15 71 which is subdivided into five compartments. Each compart- ment can be used either separately or in communication with the others. A necessity in hatchery work is a satisfactory water supply. The water used in the Reed station comes from living springs on or immediately adjoining the campus. Owing to the constantly growing demand for Pacific salmon and the more and more serius interference of com- mercial fishing with the normal breeding habits of the fish, it is obvius that the prosperity of one of the great industries of Oregon can be assured only by the successful artificial propagation of the salmon on the large scale. In the interest of sportsmen, the propagation of game fishes is a problem only second in importance to the former. Success in artificial propagation involvs the pressing problem of economy of ad- ministration. Experiments on these problems hav been and ar to be subjects of investigation at the station. Reports of work already done hav been made at the meeting of the Biological Society of the Pacific Coast, on May twenty-second, 1914, at Seattle, and t0 the American Fisheries Society at its meeting in Washington, D. C., last summer. The first has been publisht in the Oregon Sportsman for September, 1914, under the title, Feeding Fingerling Salmon, and the second wil appear shortly in the Transactions of the American Fisheries Society. H581 REED COLLEGE ANNUAL-it1915 GOOD ROADS DAY cause, is the enduring satisfaction of Reed Colleges partici- pation in Good Roads Day. N SATURDAY morning, April twenty-fourth, 1914, a special train left the Portland Union Depot bound for Oneonta, on the Columbia High- QJ way. The occasion was Good Roads Day and the five hunched men who boarded the train, tho wel disguised as laborers, wer in reality business and professional men of the City. There wer representativs from the Ad Club, the Rotary Club, the Commercial Club, and other civic organizations. Among them was at Reed College delega- tion of sixteen men, captaind by Dr. Foster. One of the objects of Good Roads Day was to hav some work done on the Highway. So after the arrival at Oneonta, the men wer divided into gangs of sixteen and assignd to jobs. Competition was made keen by the offer of the Portland Ad Club to dine the cm doing the most work. The picks and shovels had not been elnployd long before it became evident that the other gangs would have a hard time keeping up with the ttReed Huskies? And so it proved, for when the work was stopt to give the excursionists an opportunity to inspect the Highway and view the beautiful Columbia River scenery, the judges declared the Reed gang an easy winner. There wer many features which make the day a memorable one for the Reed people. Above all, the opportunity to co- operate with the civic organizations of Portland for a common STUDENT RESEARCH WORK .WV 7 , ,. .7 ... . . . ,AV. ,, ;,...:,s.,,.x:.m-.;-. .V. :i. W..- REED COLLEGE ANNUAL ;. 1 9 l 5 11611 SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH For some of the Reed students the most distinctiv achiev- ments of their college courses wil be papers embodying the results of original investigations, ritten in connection with their scientific courses. The undergraduates ar expected to obtain much of their material from their own observations, and hav shown that they can, with a little direction, make investiga- tions. The lack of tecnical experience, added to a more or les partial knoledge of general subjects may hav handicapt but has not eliminated the undergraduate from research. In the newer sciences there ar problems awaiting solution which do not require a tecnic difficult of mastery. Some of these prob- lems hav alredy been undertaken in connection with courses other than seminars, and papers haV appeard in varius publica- tions dealing with the subjects of biology, fysics, and sociology. In the foIloing pages ar sketcht the details of some of the research that has recently been attempted. The Role of Random iWovmtzmzts m the Orientation of Porcellio Scaber to Light, by Dr. Torrey and Grace Hays, and The Earthworm and the JVIethod of Trial, by Linus Bittner, Glenn Johnson, and Dr. Torrey, ar papers which ap- peard in the 11mm! of Animal Behavior for March-April, 1914, and January-February, 1915. These papers, as wel as one by Marvin Howes and Dr. Torrey which is now being prepared for publication, deal with the problem of the interpretation of the reactions of organisms to light. The question of whether there is a forst movement depending on an underlying mecan- ism, or whether there is the factor of selection on the part of the organism, has been the crux of a controversy lasting for several years. The evidence in all three papers indicated a forst reaction explainable on a mecanical basis. TWO papers, Feeding the Fingerhng 501112011, by Dr. Torrey, printed in the Oregon Sportsman of September, 1914, and Notes 0n the Rearing of Salmon, by Dr. Torrey and Donald Lancefield, printed in the Transactions of the American Fisheries Society of March, 1915, embody the results of ex- periments carried on by Mr. Lancefield under the direction of Dr. Torrey at the fish hatchery. The results shoed the food value of cookt beef liver and the influence of the volume and shape of the body of water on the development of the fish. Regulation in Vortz'cclla, by Milton Runyan and Dr. Tor- rey was printed in the Biological Bulletin for December, 1914. This paper shoed that the presence of one part of an animal definitly modified the growth of another part, so that the removal of one resulted in a definit change of the other. Glenn Johnson, who has spent two summers in helping to stock the different lakes and streams of Oregon with fish, rote an article for the Oregon Sportsman for September, 1914, the title of which is The Stocking 0f the Cascade Alozmtain Lakes. l162l R E E D COLLEGE ANNUAL 4- 1915 Liiidsley Ross, under the direction of Dr. Compton, is studying pseudo-contact differences of potential folloing X-ray discharges, The fenomenon has been observd that if two con- ductors of different materials at brought into contact and then separated they wil hav a difference of potential between them. If the conductors ar used as the electrodes of an X-ray dis- charge in apparatus containing wax the difference is magnified about five hundred times. The experiment is to explain, if possible, this fenonienon. An explanation of the function of rectifying crystals in wireless telegrafy may be developt. Experiments with the DeForest hAudion, an instrument to detect thermionic currents in wireless telegrafy hav been carried on by Joyce Kelly in the fysics department. The object of his experiments was to improve the sensitivness of this in- strument, and thus make possible wireless communication over a greater distance. Altho no definit results hav as yet been workt out, the information at hand seems to indicate that the desired improvements can be made. In the Fysical Review for February, 1915, there appeard the results obtaind by Dr. Compton and Dean XVebster in the development of a method of testing Lord Kelvinis the- oretical formula indicating the amount of heat generated in suddenly stretching a piece of wire. The closest previus ap- proximations to the theoretical result had been with an error of 2.54 percent. By their method the range of error was reduced to .07 percent. The significance of the work was in finding a more accurate method of mesuring heat energy. An experimental test of the molecular theory of magnetism was made by Everett Trousdale tworking with Dr. Comptom in the fysics laboratory. The test consisted of recording X-ray reHections from magnetite and haemitite crystals on foto- grafic plates. No difference was found between the rays reflected from magnetized crystals and non-niagnetized ery- tals, thus disproving a main assumption of the molecular theory that a rearrangement of molecules takes place when a sub- stance is magnetized. Ellis Jones experiment deals with the relation between therino-electromotiv force and contact difference of potential. Dr. Compton has shown from a comparison of certain formulas that a certain relation must hold. The experiment is designd to test this point, rather complicated apparatus being used in order to get exact mesurements of the contact difference of potential between different metals. About a hundred twenty- five dollars worth of radium is being used to ionize the air between the metals. Even if the relation supposed to hold is not proved by the investigation, the results wil probably ad to the experimental knoledge in this comparativly new field of fysics. Probably the most important work of the psycology de- partment is that of giving metal tests to all the college students. The aim is to arrange a set of tests which wil indicate the mental ability of the student, also to determin whether superi- REED COLLEGE AFUWUAL e 1915 IWH ority in any particular mental process is correlated with sn- periority in any particular subject and whether there ar any caracteristic sex differences. The work has been under way for three years now and wil probably be continued for some time longer before conclusiv results ar publisht. Gladys Lowden has had charge of much of this work and is using certain of the results in the preparation of a master's thesis. Other students under the direction of the psycology de- partment. hav been interested in the problems of mental mesurement of different groups. Glenn Johnson, assisted by others in the department, is making a study of unemployd men at the Associated Charities and Portland Commons to hnd out if the men more or Ies permanently out of work fall belo a certain level in specific mental functions. Dorothy Walton and Ada McCown at the Police Court, and Irma Lonegren and Ruth Hall at the Louise Home, hav made experiments testing the mental ability of yung women committed for varius 0f- fenses to ascertain. if possible, some relation between mental defect and juvenil delinquency. Verna Menefee and Albert Gentner ar making experi- ments on the psycology of testimony. XVhen individuals 211' required for any reason to giv an account of events not im- mediately experienst, what relation holds between the accuracy of the report after a few moments, and after a longer interval? In questions of the type usually put to witnesses such as estimates of times, numbers, sizes and so forth, wil it be pos- sible to ascertain the types into which individual ansers fall, and according to which such testimony must be judged? This experiment in the perception and memory of witnesses who endevor t0 tel the truth, is intended as a supplement to associa- tion-reaetion tests to find out the truth when the witness wilfully tries to conceal it. Miss Creech has made a study in social psycology by investigation of caracteristic Opinions and changes of opinions in the Reed College group. She hopes to be able to put these changes into grafic form, and to correlate them with rank in Clas, sex, life in the dormitory or in town, and the like, and thus to furnish information as to what may be expected as to Viewpoints in the college group, as they ar related to varia- tions in environment. SOCIAL INVESTIGATION The Annual would not be complete without a statement of some of the activities that at taking place in connection with courses in the social sciences. The method employd in these sciences of using the community as a laboratory for investigation is of particular interest. Some of these problems and the students dealing with them ar numerated belo. A coniparativ study of the City and cnntry vote on pro- posed legislation in Oregon has been made by Delbert French and Delvin Peterson. The results ar based upon the election l164l R E E D COLLEGE ANNUAL -:- 1915 returns since 1904, from the counties having no city over three thousand in population and from the city of Portland. With the exception of the mesures 0n prohibition and woman suf- frage. each of which receivd a proportionally higher vote in the cuntry, progressiv legislation seems to receive a higher percentage of votes in the city than in the cuntry. Mr. Peterson made a similar examination of the voting in the different districts of Portland. The districts which wer selected correspond to the upper-middle, the 10er-middle, the organized, and the unorganized labor classes. Judging from the votes cast for such mesures as the universal eight- hour law, ventilation for female workers, and the fifteen hundred dollars tax exemption laws, the upper classes may be. said to be the more conservativ. The results of a study by Alvin Shagren of the Portland public market system in comparison with the systems in other cities, seem to sho that the public market is not such a means for reducing the cost of living as is commonly supposed. A survey of the Albina district Of the city of Portland made this year by the neighborhood survey clas under the direction of Mr. Wood, is one of the most important and coniprehensiv pieces of work accomplisht by the sociological department. Tousing conditions, immigrant problems, delin- quency and dependency, recreational faciities, industrial acci- dents and disease, unemployment and industrial occupation of the wage-earners hav been subjects for thoro investigation. An intensiv study of living conditions of nineteen families in the Albina district is also included in the survey. Careful maps. charts, and pictures hav been prepared to bring out the significant facts of the conditions which giV promis of de- veloping into a slum district should the city of Portland per- niit it. These facts wer presented before the Social Wrorkeris Conference held at Reed College in May of this year. Arlien Johnson. Louise Lewis and Gertrude Renter made a survey of the private employment agencies for women in Portland. After Visiting the agencies and talking with people looking for work, they came to the conclusion that there ought to be stricter regulation of these agencies. Carl Rochet made a study shoing the relation of public docks to the industrial development of the City, and a Study of the relation of housing problems to land speculation was undertaken by Otto Schultz. An examination Of the work of Portlanch Helth Bureau made by Margaret Creech indicated that Portland owes its good helth to its natural environment rather than to any precautions taken by the city to preserv public helth. The twenty-one cents per capita spent by the city for public helth, seemd to be an insufficient amount to provide adequate in- spection and activ educational work. Dorothy Elliott made a survey of the helth records of children in the Portland scools, the principal result of which was to sho that much of Portland's heith inspection in scools is renderd inadequate REED COLLEGE AbUWJAL + 1915 T1651 by the lack of follo-np work. Equipment for fysical education in public and private scools in Portland was the subject of an investigation by Edna Metcalf. A recreational survey, made by Margaret Creech and Elsa Grill shoes the relation of recreational facilities to the popula- tion of Portland. A map of the city prepard by them indicates the location of every theater, moving-picture house, scooi, church, playground, park, ball ground, beer garden, saloon and poolroom. In View of the fact of the closing of the saloons in 1916 special study is made by the investigators of the relation of the saloons to the general population and t0 the other recreational centers, and special attention is given to the prob- lem of possible substitutes for the saloon. Perhaps the largest and most significant group of in- vestigations undertaken ar those which hav to do with labor problems, particularly those of labor legislation, unemployment and immigration. An article, Oregon's iMz'nimum IVagc Law, ifs Enforce- ment and its Effects, by Harry XVeinbridge was printed in Uyclfarc for April first, 1914. Mr. TVeinbridge related the facts concerning the adoption of this law and the establishment of its constitutionality. He then analysed the varins objections which had been raised and evidence regarding them. The minimum wage law in Oregon seemd not to hav caused the predicted bad effects. Fighting Unemployment and Dcstiturion in Portland, is the title of a paper by Bess Owens in the Survey of April tenth, 1915. Miss Owens flrst reviewd the work which has been done in Portland during the past winter to relieve destitu- tion and unemployment. The second half of the paper is devoted to an analysis of the causes of destitntion. Miss Owens found mental or fysical incapacity to be the cause of 29.7 percent of the cases investigated and unemployment to be the cause of 25.9 percent of the cases. Portland's problem of homeless men was studied last semester by Ruth Shoudy and Lottie Grantham in connection with the work of the clas in social economics. One thousand records of the Associated Charities furnisht the material for this study. Data wer tabulated concerning the nationality, age, education, mental and fysical condition, time idle, addic- tion to alcohol, time in America, the state and the city of Portland, reasons for coming to the state and t0 the city, reasons for applying for aid, what relief was given, and whether or not the relief met a temporary or a permanent need Of these idle men. The city of Portland has made several attempts to deal with this most important problem of the homeless man, but as yet no permanent solution has been reacht. The results of this investigation help to make the situation clearer. Glenn Johnson has workt out the problem of the correla- tion between mental defectivness and unemployment. He tested the mentality of a hundred fifty nnemployd men selected mm REED COLLEGE ANNUAL + 1915 at ramdom, and at the same time secured information con- cerning their heredity and environment. The mentality of these men was found to range from that of a seven year old to that of an adult of superior ability. In a majority of cases bad environment was found to hav had its effects. Lawrence Beggeman has made a digest of five hundred records of unemployd men applying at the Municipal Free Employment Bureau. Dorothy Walton made an investigation of the opportun- ities open for the average college traind woman, basing her studies chiefly on conditions as found in Portland. The general results obtaind seem to sho that at present there is no particular demand in industry for college traind women, Yung Womenis Christian Association work and jurnalism being two important exceptions. The demand for traind social workers is sloly groing, but at present it is not very strong. To find the correlation between nationality and educa- tional progress, Irma Lonegren has made a study of condi- tions in the Portland public scools. Ten representativ scools we'r selected and 2396 questionnaires fild out of which 1137 wer from children of American parentage, 950 of forerl pare entage and 325 of mixt parentage. The careful study of these questionnaires shoes in general that nationality in itself is not correlated to retardation in scool. The results of such a study haV both a social and educational value, and at of particular interest in view of possible solutions of Portlandis groing immigrant problem. Marvin Howes and Alvin Bradford, under the direction of Mr. VVOOd, hav made a study of occupational diseases. The results of their investigations wer cited in testimony of Mr. Wood before the Federal Industrial Relations Commission. This investigation has been folloed up this year by Gertrude Renter, who gatherd many additional data on the existence of industrial disease in Portland. Studies of the facts and problems of mental defect hav cald for material from several departments of college in- struction-psycology, biology, politics and sociology all con- tributing material and theories. The work of Glenn Johnson in this kind of study is noteworthy. After a careful investiga- tion of feeble-mindedness in Oregon he prepared a paper, The Future Care of Alenfal Dcfectz'z's in Oregon, which he red at the Portland 1915 Conference in May, 1914. His paper shoed the relation of the problem of feeble-mindedness t0 the prob- lems of unemployment, charity, prostitution, criminality and the general welfare of society, and pointed out several possible methods of eliminating the problem for future generations. A study by Dana Poulsen 0f the methods employd thruout the United States in the care of criminals, and a similar study by Delvin Peterson concerning the care of the insane, has re- sulted in the addition of many valuable state reports to the library. Since the flrst plans for the development of Reed College wer formulated, the idea of separate quarters for the residence and instruction of women students has been up- permost in the minds of those who hav the plans in charge. As a beginning in this direc- tion, plans for a wom- en's bilding hav been prepard, a campain for funds has been started, and extensiv study of future needs has been undertaken. The proposed bilding includes rooms for fifty women, a dmmg hall large emlf for the resident students and for all others. a gymnasium with sufficient accommodations for all REED COLLEGE ANNUAL + 1915 omerfs Bilding l1671 l the women, supplementary library and study rooms. provisions for dramatic performances and a center of social life. These plans wil relieve the present congestion. The men's ll681 R E E D dwelling hall, where the' women ar temporarily housd, is alredy overcrowded. In another year the diningroom which is now in use for both men and women wil be large enuf for men students only. The lack of a separate gymnasium for women has necessitated the use of one wing of the mens gym- nasium, but even now this makeshift does not provide enuf lockers for all the women. The problem of arranging for sufhcient library and study rooms is alredy presenting diffi- culties. COLLEGE ANNUAL 4- 1915 So far, no gifts to the fund hav been announst. The women of the college, however, ar activ in getting money for the furnishing of the social rooms. Last fall the yield of the college holly grove was placed in the hands of the women for distribution. Several hundred dollars wer realized from the sale. The coming performances of Everytvomanys Road ar for the beneflt 0f the Woman's Bilding fund. Besides these, smaller amounts hav been realized from minor entertainments and from individual Earnings. 779.... put... .-..'.....:.... .7 vs . 9 f V '4: t H ADVERTISEMENTS The kind aid of the business houses whose adver- tisements appear in the folloing pages has helpt to make this volume possible.
