Prof. Dawson s Resignation

Saturday two events of i'm
)ortance occurred at the Univer-
ity. One brought joy to the
nearts of the students. for at
last we are cor nected with the
dig outside world. The other
,rought a pang of sorrow as
toeS always the announcement
toat friends must part.
Prof. Dawson will not meet
lis French and German classes
lfter this year. He has been call
ed to broader fields Of usefulness
and has accepted the call.
The University's loss is great.
The students loss is greater.
lr. Dawson was a valuable
faculty nan. He was a more
valuable friend to the student.
Believing that the greatest
good can be derived from col
lege life by the harmonious etfo t
of student and professor, which
can only be obtained by asSOcia-
ton, he endeavored TO carry out
this belief. He associated with
the student; was his adviser and
friend.
But never once during that
association did the student for
get that he was his superior.
He demanded and received the
highest respect from all.
The Misslssippian wishes for
Mr.. Dawson success in every
undertaking and assures him
that wherever he is or whatever
he does, the interest If the stu
dents will follow him. The
University Mississippian, March

Oxolona Messenger,
Okolona. Miss.
Dear Sirs:
| have been transferred to the
Brooklyn Navy Yard to receive
special instructions in wireless
telegraphy, so in future please
send my paper to that point in
stead of the U. S. S. Mayf1ower
as heretofore.
l arrived in New York yester-
lay and reported on board the
j. S. S. Maine for instructions.
Just as / stepped on board of
he Maine her sea value gave
way. and, as the New York
Herald put it, the Maine went
down with all on board. But as
he river was not very deep at
his point we were able to get
IF in safety. All of the lower
'ecks we're flooded, but with the
ssistance of about a dozen
tugs" we were able to get into
dry dock where we shall receive
necessary repairs.
With best wishes t. all, | am.
Respectfully.

)koIona. In 1904, he entered
he University, matriculating in
he literary department. Four
ears later, in 1908, he received
mis- Bachelor of Arts degree.
During his career as a student
at the University he made quite
a name for himself as an actor
and a French scholar, having
played roles in two French plays
given by DR.. Browns classes.
In the first one of these plays,
LIE Malade Imaginaire, he played
the part of Thomas Diafoirus,
and in the second, LIE Bourgeois
Gentilhomme, he played the part
OF CIeonte. Both of these roles
were splendidly cast and he re-
ceived adundent praise for the
rendition of them.
After his graduation in 1908,
he taught three years in the
high schools of the state, after
which he spent two years abroad
One Of these years he spent ir
Paris, where he mastered the
French language. The other
was spent in travelling over
Germany, where he became at.
luainted with German ways, al
he same time mastering theil
ongue. In this two years STUD,
le gained much experience THAI
Will aid him greatly in the OBJ
ali ing of his Doctors degree.
Upon returning to America
ne was rendered the chair Of
professor of Modern Languages
If which department his former
professor was now the head
1t the close of the 1914 session
he received another degree
Master of Arts.
Highest praise of Mr.. Dawson

known him since 1904, as {
student, friend and associate

riend, he was true, and as
professor, he was capable an
Efficient. DR.. Brown went ever
further to say that never had

professor or Chancellor.
Mr.. Dawson has been faithful
and loyal to Ole Miss for years
ind it is the hope of every

ience is removed hundreds o.
niles away, he will still feel al
attachment to the place where
le has made so many friends.

Little Miss Writes
Very Good Letter

The following letter was written
for fifth grade language lesson by
little Miss Margaret Mccoy. It's ex-
ceptional excellence deserves special
notice:
Ashland, Ore, Sept. 16, 1915.
My Dear Phillis and Amber: You
should have come out here with your
sister. There are many mountains
and trees and wild flowers. AS a
rule the summers never get very hot
nor the winters very cold.
About ninety miles from here is
one of the wonders of the world. It's
name is Crater Lake. 1t was former
ly volcanic mountain, and after the
eruption it sank below the mountains
around it and filled with water, and
it is now large, beautiful blue lake
surrounded by cliffs.
About thirty miles from Ashland is
Rogue river
We have a beautiful park. We
also have free auto camp ground
and playground. At the camp ground
there is a kitchen with about thirty
gas stoves and about thirty cabinets
and a sink. At the playground they
have two slides, four teeter-totters,
ten swings, high rings and low rings,
a swinging ladder and a giant stride.
But | have a slide, swing and trapeze
at my home and there is a giant
stride on the school grounds, SO there
is not much use for me to go to the
Fairgrounds.
We have two natatoriums, with
sulphur swimming pools.
We have a good many lithia and
soda springs. We have found a
spring just outside the city limits that
is one of the most wonderful springs
in the world. 1t is a mixture that
the doctors have been trying to get
for years.
We have several nice schools, and
your sister teaches in what | call the
best graded school.
Most every year our peaches are
so thick that we can hardly give them
away. This year father filled four
holes big enough for babys coffin
full of them.
Your friend,
MARGARET mccoy.

Frohbach Writes
on Fair Doings
(By II. o. Frohbach.l


No exhibit in the Oregon building
is attracting more attention than the
single entries in the largest peach
exhibit at the southern Oregon booth.
There are about twenty-five cases of
these entries, all magnificent speci-
mems. The arrival of twelve peaches
weighing thirteen pounds fourteen
ounces, sent in by u. A. Moody Of
Ashland, adds materially to the al
ready fine exhibit.
The first Newtown apples received
at the exposition were received this
week from the Tou Vele and Harris
crop (Hanley ranch). They are first
class stuff and do full credit to the
valleys reputation for this fruit. A
few specimens of Jonathans from the
Bear Creek Orchard are on display
and are ususually large and fine
looking.
A shipment of Comice and Bose
pears came today without labels As
the judges are pretty strict on the
points comprising commercial pack, !"
the shipment is held out of competi-
tion till the labels can be sent on as
requested by wire. Growers sending
shipments for competition should
take pains to see that these details
are carefully looked after, as well as
to have the fruit itself of the best
quality.
Ben Sheldon's position in charge
of the floor with eight college stu
dents to look after, keeps him pretty
busy. He gives the talks on "Grace's
Visit to the Rogue River Valley" and
answers questions regarding Ore
CONS roads and scenic attractions.
More Rogue River valley people
have visited the building this past
week than any other during the ex-
position. Jap Andrews, Treve Lums-
den, John Westerlund, Mrs. DR.. Red
dy, Mrs. Patton, Mrs. A. A. Bird, for
merly Of Medford, Miss Reddy, Mr.
Strang the druggist, ana others were
in yesterday.
The weather here has improved
materially and the attendance is cor
respondingly larger. The exposition
management anticipates that Septem-
ber and October will be among their
largest months.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The number of pupils from out OF
town is increasing every year. This
year there are thirteen or more.
Among them are Harry Reigel Of
Grenville, ILL.,; Miles Hampton of
Grants Pass, Margaret Schell and
Ruth Daniels of Medford, Margaret
Ames, Alice Vandersluis, Donna
Withrow, Anna Smith, Angie Bell,
Kilmer Bagley, Ava Holt, Elton Bee
son and Hubert Bennett of Talent,
and Elden Corthell and Doc Furry of
Phoenix.
The music department will be much
more important this year than ever
before. A Victroa was purchased
with the proceeds of the opera "Bo-
hemian Girl which was staged last
year by the two choruses. This with
a new piano makes music very pop
ular study, because the students
would much rather listen to a duet by
Scott and Caruso on the victrola
than hear a lecture on sociology or
commercial law. The name of the
subject is Musical History and Ap-
probation" ="
There is a better showing of boys
this year in teachers training than
last year. Six boys have enrolled this
year, while there was only one the
year before.
An addition to the commercial
work was made this year in the form
of commercial law. This fills Pro
tessor Hodges time completely and
the appearances are that he will be
rather busy this year.
Neil Shinn, the former football
star, has gladdened the hearts OF
Ashland supporters by enrolling as
a student.
Jack Jones returned last week
from where he has been working in
klamath county and started to
school. He will be great addition
to the football squad this year.
