University Notes

morning ushered in the finale Of the
lSl6-lT Yuletide Festivities and the re-
mnining dash to the final examinations
which are scheduled from January 20
10 February 3. became the focus of at
traction. Sighs and groans Of some stu
dent desirous of prOlOnging the holiday
period yied with the CHEEKY industrious
locks Of those determined to make the
mos. Of remaining semester's opportuni-
ties. On the whole the students were
'glad to get back and before noon
the routine Of the curriculum 5 problems
was master of this situation. Although
more than few we're compelled to pass
the vacation hours in Salem, the ma
jority spent their time at a distance.
As penalties are provided in embar-
rassmtnt 10 high scholastic standings.
the plurality seemed to take special
care to return TO the first recitations Of
the day. Several faculty members at
tended the sessions Of the Oregon State
Teahers' association which convened in
Portland last week and report renewed
interest in pedagogical problems.
President Carl Gregg Doney will leave
attend meetings of the educational as
soeiation of the Methodist Episcopal
church and the session of the university
senate of the church. OF utmost i'm
portance in the furtherance of the
chureh's educational work is the latter
organization, the university senate. 1t
is composed of Is men, each represent
irg district in the United States pre-
sided over by bishop. It's work is
cen.ered in the general supervision of
the educational institutions of the
church. DR.. Doney was recently honored
by being elected to represent the fif-
teenth district which includes the states
cf Oregon, Washington and Idaho.
Although still unsettled in the places
of his itinerary other than to Chicago,
DR.. Doney will likely visit several other
of the principal cities of the east, re-
turning to Salem little over two
weeks.
An interesting visitor to Salem and
Willamette folk in particular is Harry
G. Mccain, the eloquent orator and
former student who has put up such a
winning fight for the cause of prohibi-
tion since his departure from William
cite in 1912. Mr.. Mccain has Just fin
ished strenuous campaign for
"dry' Michigan which resulted in the
Wolverine state going dry by major
ity of $4,000 votes in the recent cleo
tion. His work was conducted under
the auspices of the Michigan Dry Fed
Grafton among the college students of
that state. The results of the election
is ample testimony of the potent effect
of his oratorical energy and executive
vim.
At present Mr.. Mccain is visiting
with his aunt, Mrs. A. G. Hausman, at
702 North Fourteenth street, and his
wife, who is resident oil Salem and
former student of old Willamette. When
questioned as to his future plans, Mr..
Mccain said: Next thing is Kansas
City, Missouri We are going to put
her dry at the next election.
An example of the esteem with which
DIR. Doney's work is considered in the
educational world is to be noted in the
current number of The Christian Stu
dent, the quarterly publication of the
Methodist church board of education
which is issued in New York. Here is
to be found the complete publication of
DR.. Doney's inaugural address which
was officially delivered ON the occasion
of The formal Inauguration of William
CITES president at the Salem First
church on October IL. Those privileged
to hear the address unreservedly vouch
for its worthiness to be reprinted in
such a standard magazine.
Announcement was made at this
mornings chapel hour that Judge Hen
ry Renson of the Oregon supreme court
bench, will be the speaker for the reg
ular Y, NJ. c. A. chapel program to-
morrow morning. Judge Benson S mas

listened to his MESSAGE that his rean-
