REVIEW BY PAGEANT
Hundreds Enjoy Presentation
Of Historical Production On
Campus; Last Appearance
Tuesday.

The romance and tradition of the
past, the glowing, pulsing life Of the
present, and the golden promise OF the
future. clasped hands in the midst OF
sylvan surroundings as the white clad
pages flung back the curtains for the
opening Of the greatest historical pa
gcant ever undertaken by old William
cite. A throng estimated at over three
thousand were packed into the open
air stadium on the campus Saturday
evening 20 witness the opening spec
taele. Among them were many gray
hcaiis 20 whom the scenes brought a
host Of reeolloetions. and they lived
over again the carly scenes IN Oregon
history, made mode vivid oy the fet.
ting of greencfy. the shimmer Of sunset
and the irappings Of olden days.
Highly symbolic and suggestive, the
paseam opened with representations
Of the spirit Of Willamette calling from
sleep the spirit Of drama and the spirit
OF history. bidding them bring before
the world the story Of Oregon and Of
Willamette university. and a besf Of
students appeared unan the stage with
round of college songs. From this
beautiful opening seene. episode after

for the far west. One scene after an
other brought out the struggles, priva-
tions as well as the ioys Of the pioneer
days with the utmost fidelitv-the
building Of the first school building
in the wilderness the dispme over the
provisional government and the histor-
ie meeting of the pioneers at Cham
poeg-the founding Of Salem and the
laying Of the eorner stone Of Waller
hall. One Of the most interesting scenes
in this part Of the pageant was the In
dian fair, in which about a hundred Of
the Chemawa students took part.
Then followed the long series Of
events in the development of Salem
and the building Of its institutions, the
social and religious features of the
early days. the admission Of Oregon
TO the union and the enlistment Of
boys for the civil war. Later there is
represented the coming Of the world
war with the enlistment Of students
from the university and the work Of
the young ladies in Red Cross affairs.
With a marked skin and dramatic pow
er the author brought out all the high
lights of the past, bringing the spec
taele down TO the present in the spec-
tacular and brilliantly lighted epilogue,
in which the muses. together with the
faculty, students and alumni of the in
stitution gather about the spirit Of
willamette with songs and fluctuations
In the final grand tableau twelve Lib
erty girls in costume form striking
part.
Those who took the leading parts
played their roles with real dramatic
spirit, giving TO the whole play the
touch Of realism. Harry Bowers, made
up in the character of Jason Lee, play
ed most excellent part, and Horace
Rahskopf made a most picturesque
figure as the white haired DR.. Ne
Laughlin. Oreville Crowder Miller, sym
bolizing "History" in the opening
scene, entered finely into the spirit of
the part and made good impression.
Other character parts that were car
ried out in beautiful form were Miss
Florence Shirley as the Spirit Of Will
lamette; Miss Genevieve Sevy as the
Spirit Of Drama; and Miss Grace Sher-
wood as the Spirit Of Music.
The conception Of this, the most mag
nificcnt and daring piece Of histrionic
work ever undertaken at Willamette,
is to be credited to Mrs. E. Z. Fisher.
As to the production of the drama,
with its flights of opetry, its music,
its symbolism, its breadth Of vision
and imagery-the admiration Of the
spectator grows into wonder as he con
templates the superlative genius and
the prodigious toll woven into it by
the author-IProf. Della Crowder-Miller

State Fair Will Be Sent
To Corvallis.

Superintendent of Public Instruction
J. A. Churchill is completing the pre-
iminary arrangements for sending to
the summer school at Corvallis, the boys
and girls who won the capital prizes at
the Oregon State Fair last September.
AT the state fair each year, boys anu
girls contest in about twenty different
projects, such as corn growing, potato
growing, vegetable gardening, poultry
raising, canning and sewing. -Four dir
ferent prizes are given by the state fair
management, but the capital prize in
each project is provided for By dona-
tions made to Superintendent Caureh-
III by publie-spirited men and women of
Portland who are particularly interest
ed in this work. These ehildreA come
from all parts of Oregon. Shortly after
their school closes, they are sent to
the agricultural college for two-wceks
short course with all expenses paid.
This form Of prizes serves as great
stimulant to the club work and is q
source of inspiration TO BOYS aud girls,
as the records show that those who have
been attending this summer school dur
ing the past two years all plan to com
plete the high school course and to g.
on to college. The dates for the su,..
mer school this year are from June %
to July "a.
Those who have made contributions
to Superintendent Churchill for this
work for the past year and have thus
made the club work possible are: Union

pany. International Harvester eompen,

Words are inadequate for commenda-
ton; the pageant IN its magnificent
entirety speaks for her. And along
with Prof. Miller must be included a
large group of eo-laborers in research
and drill who have made its mategiali-
zation possible. II marks one of the
brightest periods in the history Of Sa-
lem and the Willamette.
The effectiveness of the entire pro-
duction was greatly enhanced by the
appropriate music rendered by the or.
ehestra under the direction of Prof.
John r. Sites, of the school of music.
