Ejnhn g?tmuh, 11m. B Nearly a. generation ago, thirty-eight years, in fact, a professor came to the University of Oregon to take up a position on the faculty. Today, in the marble corridor of Johnson is a door Whose inscription says, Dr. John Straub, Dean of Men? That is Where one hnds the same professor after these thirty-eight years. Coming when Deady was the University, the Dean has watched it through the prosperity and vicissitudes of nearly two score years, until now its students are told in four figures, and its temples stretch from the millrace to the cemetery on the hill. Each freshman has known him as comrade and advisor. Throughout the state he has friends in every hamlet. He has seen generations of students come and go until his ttboys and girlstt are thousands, but he has forgotten none. On his venerable head he has taken the care of students past number. Today he walks the campus, hearty, cheery, happy. Among the faculty one finds no more active figure than the Dean. Go to him With your troubles. In time of happiness or time of pain you will find there a willing ear and helpful advice. To us John Straub is all this: dean, teacher, counsellor, friend.-
