COLLEC|ANS ON QUEEN PLEASED
 WITH RESULTS
Floating University Re. turning to Seattle
 Plan Cruises

| Enthusiastic over the scenic won. ders of Alaska and warm in theil praise for the first collegiate sum- mer session afloat, ITO student. and Is faculty members of the University of Oregon arrived back in Juneau from Sitka today. Thc s. s. Queen of the Admiral Line has been chartered by the Uni versity for the entire cruise, and those in charge of the vessel CO., operated in every way to make the journey enjoyable, students declare
 The educational experiment, the first of it's kind ever conducted has proven a success, it is stated by Karl w. Onthank, executive secre- tary of the university, who is in charge. Regular credit is being given for courses taken on board the ship, and it has been found that even with frequent interrup- tions for sightseeing students have been studying even better than on land.
 After leaving Juneau on the trip north the vessel went to Skagway where students took the famous White Pass 6 Yukon River rail trip, to Lake Bennett. Some time was also spent exploring the fa- nous old city of gold rush days and "Soapy Smith" fame. From this point the ship came back down to Sitka, where a stop of several hours was made. Here students inspected the historic Russian ca- thedral with it's famous relice and treasures, the Sheldon J k S n school, and other places of interest.
 Bishop P. T. Rowe, Episcopal bishop for Alaska was a passen- ger on the Queen from Skagway to Sitka. During the evening the bishop, who has spent 35 years in Alaska, gave talk to the students on Alaska and on his many adven- lures in this territory. The bish- op has just returned from tour of all his parishes and missions in Alaska. He has been travelling since March and has covered about 12,000 miles.
 The student ship departed at l1:30 for Seattle Short stops will be made at Wrangell Petersburg and Ketchikan and the vessel will arrive in Seattle next Tuesday, A special train will take those on board to Eugene, where classes will be held until August 31, when regu- lar examinations will be given.
 The success of the trip means that the university will probably sponsor one and perhaps several such trips for each summer ses- sion, it is declared by MT. Onthank. A more elaborate itinerary, with a longer cruise, will probably be ar ranged next time since those in charge are now acquainted with the country.
 Juneau as city was warmly praised by students and faculty, and declared to be an up-to-date city in every way. The trip to Mendenhall Glacier was declared by many to be the outstanding fea- ture of the entire trip.
