4 yeum. w- Afterglow ANNIE LAURA MILLER, 97 The sun sank flaming, and the eastern clouds That stretched, a hazy bank, between the vault And earth, flushed rosy pink. The dull, brown hills Wore, sudden, brilliant tints of coralline; The fir wood changed its green to deepest blue, t The river's leaden flood ran silver touched With wav,ring glints of red and molten gold. And far away, seen but in glimpses thro' The leafless alder boughsefar, far away Above the misty, sapphire hills, two peaks Of Virgin snow, like coals, ablaze with light, Their chill heights caught the fleeting sunset blush; The brightest gleams in all the wintry world Shone forth from them. So stood they, thus transformed By ling'ring mem'ries of celestial fire. 12

Che gear Early in September students began to arrive, and by the time work com- menced in the class rooms nearly half the faces were new to the University. The stacks of diplomas and deportment cards which loomed up in the regis- trarls office was an index to the work to secure students which had been set on foot by the President and so faithfully carried out by members of the faculty and student body during the summer vacation. ReceptiOns here and receptions there gave an opportunity for everybody to meet everybody else if they wanted to. s There was something in the atmosphere that presaged a good year for the University. The summer months had brought abaut much needed changes in the departments of instruction, and the student body as an organization was shaken up, renovated and put into definite and improved form, taking the name Associated Students of the University of Oregon. Since school began, aside from a general and auspicious development of stu- dent work and life, some things of special significance have taken place. Our football team led, by invading Californials territory and startling the coast by winning over Berkeley. The glee club followed by a tour of Southern Oregon, thus bringing a rich sec- tion of the state into closer touch with the University. The Christian associations have done more effective work for the University than ever before. Aside from their gains in members and influence, they have undertaken the erection of a building, which, when completed, will be of great worth to the institution. But important as the building will be, the spirit with which stu- dents and instructors subscribed to the fund is of greater significance. Self-supporting students headed the lists, and members of the faculty receiv- ing low salaries gave most generously. The self sacrifice that the pledges neces- sitate is a fitting mark of appreciation from those who have received instruction at Oregonls highest educational institution; and the spirit evinced in subscribing goes far to prove that the taxpayers of this state are making investments that will pay great and good profits. Since September we have reached out and received much needed recognition from our state legislature, as well as from the people of neighboring states. Next year we shall build on the strong and carefullylaid foundation of the lastfew months 11
