At the University of Oregon we have adopted as one of our fundamental educa- tional objectives the training of our emotional life and the establishment of higher and more beautiful standards of emotional values and experiences. Like any other program touching intimately the lives of the students, this venture will depend for its success. largely upon the student cooperation and sympathy. We are trying to inaugurate a program which places a greater emphasis upon stu- dent participation in an enjoyment of music, fine arts, literature, drama, and allied subjects. We believe the answer to the ugliness of jazz is training in new standard oj the appreciation of the artistic and the beautiful. We want every student who attends the University to have his life enriched and his spiritual understanding deepened by coming in contact with the finer emotional experiences. Out of this will come an in- creased capacity to enjoy and understand the more beautiful and the nobler things of life, and this will bring one to a new sense of spiritual values and the pari they play in the ennobling of character and the enrichment of personality.
