THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT.
The music department under
the management of Prof. Good
nough, Mrs. Florence Mcdowell
q Green and Prof. Turney has been
raised to a high standard of eff
cheney. Prof. sGoodnough re-
signed to accept a permanent
!. position in Portland. Mrs. Green
and Prof. Turney are retained
and Prof. Taillander, who has
studied music under renowned
/ musical instructors in Germany
and who holds recommendations
of the highest order, comes to
take the place made vacant by
the resign ,tion of Prof. Good

lstructor in violin and guitar.
TO SUCCEED MAJOR HARDIN.
/ Letters were read by President
lGatch from the war department,
relative to the removal of Major
Hardin from Corvallis to the
Philippine Islandt. The letters
stated that it was necessary to
make such transfer for the army's
welfare. The department recon-
mended first lieutenant of the
9th cavalry, Dennis P. Quinlan,
now in Hollywood, California, on
sick leave, leaving it optional
to the committee as to his suit
ability for the position. The
Board passed refolutions COM
mending in glowing terms the
pasttwo years services of Major
! Hardin
CAN'T PLAY PROFESSIONALS.
| The board moved that the Col
flege athletic teams be prohibited
from playing in match games
with other than scholastic
institutions. The motion referr-
| ed primarily 10 the Multnomah
Iclub of Portland, the members
of which are all professionals and
|spend their whole time in athletics
for pay. Such contests it was
Iargued were not a fair test of
strength and were to be avoided.
It will be perfectly right and
proper to engage with any other
college, academy or educational
institution. A resolution was
also passed recommending that
the clerk who handles the funds
of the athletic association be re-
quired to give bond as the trustee
of such funds.
i TO MAKE THEM WORK.
| John DAILY offered resolution
making the work of the College
continuous throughout the year
with proper vacation periods to be
taken by the professors at stipu-
lated times. Mr.. DAILY support
ed the resolution by the argu-
; ment that nearly one-third of the
whole year is wasted in vacations
and the work of beginning and
ending. He stated that the state
and government had expended
5000, 900 to build and equip the
institution and appropriated $75
600 per year for maintenance,
J and that such expenditure was
not justified by the returns. Pres.
lGateh stated that mistaken ides
prevailed in regard to the amount
! of WORK done during the year,
that June and September are the
busiest months of the year. The
resolution was adopted but will
, probably never be carried out a.
it is impossible to get the best re
: suits under such an arrangement
It has been practically demon
t strated that vacations are abso
, lutely necessary for both feache
: and student, the teacher especi
! clly, and many get the idea tha
E are especially for the students
when in fact the teachers VIII
carry the greatest load of nee
essary mental vigor will becom
2 fatig ued the first.
