WILLAMETTE NOTES

The next number of the Willamette
faculty lecture course to the public of
Salem will occur on Monday evening,
March l3 in the chapel OF Waller hall.
AT which time Prof. John o. Hall will
speak OH the great man of drama. "Ib.
sen. Prof. Hall will give not only an
Interpretation of Ibsen as ne is viewelI
in America but also the opinion of
European critics, for Prof. Hall has
travelled and studied considerably in
Europe.
Brick Brothers have a large photo of
the Danish dramatict Ibsen in taeir
display window on State street. To
those who are interested in modern So
Geological conditions, as interpreted by
the dramatic pen, the lecture by Prof
Hall will be extremely interesting as he
treats his subjects in such an intensely
numanistie manner that having once
heard him lecture no one would miss
the opportunity to hear him the second
time.
The Philodoiian society are giving
a party to their sister society the Phil.
odOsians in the PhilO halls this even
ing. For tine last day or so committees
have been busily engaged procuring
Oregon grape and ferns for decoration
purposes, so it is probable that the af-
fair will be quite an event in social
circles.
The senior class has decided to pre-.
sent to the university as their gift this
June a sun dial. This will be in keen.
ing with the gift of last years class.
namely, the brick pillars at the en-.
trance to Eaton hall. The sun dial will
be placed midway between Eaton hall
and the entrance on State street. The
cement walk will be built around it and
torn up in the spot where it is to be
placed.
1t has not been definitely decided
what to use as base, two suggestions
are offered, either a marble or granite
pillar, or large glazed bowlder. The
former will perhaps be decided upon.
The seniors will appear in CAPS and
gowns next week. this will be their
first appearance thus attired this year.
Superintendent of Grounds C. c..
Clark has been busy for the past week
putting out roses in beds and hedges.
These will give the campus q distinctly
Salem air, as so many of Salem s most
beautiful grounds are adorned with
beautiful roses during the summer. A
long hedge is being set out between
Eaton and Waller halls. Perhaps it will
not be long before the slogan used bv
the Portland Rose Festival committee
can be altered to say "For you a rose
at Willamette grows. ="
Prof. NJ. f. Peck has recently h,d
two large specimen cases made for his
laboratory, they are in oak finish and
are very handsome. The professor will
store his many specimens of birds in
them and thus tdey may be kept in or
der Prof. Peek is constantly adding to
his collection OF mounted birds md he
now has practically all of the common
birds Of the Willamette valley and T
Oregon. mis- class in ornithology study

are made and the students are required
to study the bird in its natural condi.
tiOns, telling Of its habits md a gener.

Prof. Peck has also ben considerably
gratified in the last few days by nav.
ing his two lost pets returned. No they
are not cats from the back alleys, but
two pretty little garter snakes that
have been roaming about the CORR.
doris of Eaton hall.
The faculty committee who have aad
charge Of preparing an index of vii.
lamettes graduates are still at work. A
questionare was mailed to every known
alumnus asking him to reply to the
questions. the answers are coming in
slowly and consequently the work is
slow in preparing the "Who's Who in
