Standards of truth, standards of hon- esty, standards of taste, standards of good sports- manship, standards of conduct in political, business, and domestic life, standards of intelligence, standards of manners. The citizens of the state of Oregon tax themselves to maintain a state University, even though the majority of them may never enter its walls, because they believe that the lessons learned Within the University, the training of the mind, the broadening of perspective, the ideals set up, will pro- duce a race of men and Women who know the differ- ence between sophistry and intellectual honesty, who are Willing to take part in political life, but who are incorruptible. They expect our graduates to have good taste and good manners and they are likely to imitate them in these respects. They have heard the undergraduates talk about good sportsmanship, and they consequently expect of them good sportsman- ship, not only in athletics, but in the game of life. They look for self-reliance and intelligent leadership. They will listen respectfully to your judgment of things beautiful. Remember the influence which you are going to expect, whether you will it or not, upon the civilization of your state. We talk of the Oregon spirit. What does it mean? Let it always be synonymous with courtesy, integrity, good sports- man ship, a desire for truth and a love of beauty. C. VALENTINE BOYER. President. 3 Z fi, , , 1.374 :fx-I-itll-1

In the University of Oregon each student may become an intimate acquaintance and even a friend with any one of more than three thousand members ofthe high- ly selective student body. The world has not yet learned to capitalize on its friendship resources but individually the student may do so if he perceives their value in life. Even the richest experiences in the wealth of academic and scholarly opportunities which the University offers do not surpass in value the permanent investment in friendships which one may make during student days. During the depression l recall a business house which regularly paid its quarterly dividends to its stockholder owners. These dividends were not earned during the years of the depression. They came from reserve resources which had been care- fully accumulated during years of greater prosper- ity. This was wise business planning. VVisdom dictates that life should be planned in the same care- ful way. The resources of friendship, if wisely and consistently accumulated, will bring rich dividends in genuine life situations for the darker hours and days that are sure to come. I recall with vivid clearness the precious fellow- ship with an intimate group of young men with whom I lived in the same house during many months of my college life. Some of them have built for themselves careers commanding world-wide acclaim. Many of them have created in society some of the finest contributions to present day and future pro- gress. The enrichment which they gave my own in- ner life during those college years can never be tak- en from me. My brief message to the students of the Uni- versity of Oregon, therefore, is-Invest in the pro- cess of creating personality for yourself through the accumulation of great friendships. FREDERICK M. HUNTER, Chancellor.
