Shy The shy is a shelf Th-at's built too high To 'reach-iio matter How we try. The slay has people Who dance at night, And fliclcei' flashes Of crazy light. The slay is the frafme Of a pensive earthy Its stave'-eyes glitter W ith tioivilcliiig miifth The sky full of stars With beauty baivis, Like diamonds ojfwerl I ii sapphire imis. -MARY MCICINNEY.

N lliimv lllNlFlIlllQlMllA.lIQhY Mrs. W. B. Crane and Dean John Bovard BUILDING plans are un- der way for the new Uni- versity Hospital, as a re- sult of a campaign for funds by Oregon mothers, that brought an appropria- tion of 350,000 from the state legislature on condi- tion that a similar amount of money be raised by private subscription. Realizing the inadequate facilities of present iniirmary accommodations as evidenced by the epidemic of contagious diseases during the past year, the mothers of Oregon students, headed by Mrs. W. B. Crane of Portland, organized a campaign that got the legislative appropriation. To fulfill their part of the agreement in raising a matching sum of money, Mrs. Crane and her committee-Mrs. Wallace Shearer, Mrs. Herman Slade, and Mrs. Treve J ones-are now engaged in a state-wide campaign for funds. The plans for the new hospital call for the immediate erection of the first unit at a cost of S100,000. It is to be erected so that additional units may be added when needed. The three-story structure will bring about a centralization of the Health Service. On the first floor the dispensary and clinic will be housed. The second and third floors will be devoted to hospital wards. A capacity of sixty beds has been planned for. Each of the upper iioors will be built so that parts can be closed or opened as needed. Special units will be arranged for cases demanding isolation. Wards have been planned for two and four patients each, with special rooms for convalescents. The University Hospital will fill a need long-felt on the campus. It is a significant step forward to the goal of a greater university. XP -A09 26 i I
