Considered one of the foremost educators in college ranks, Dean Spencer left the presidency of the University of Washington in 1883 to return to active teaching, going to Syracuse University year ago to organize the new School of Journalism, which opened it's doros there last fall.
 Dean Spencer always has been associated as closely with the news paper profession, from both edi- torial and business sides, as with education. He was chief editorial writer of the Milwaukee Journal just before this country's entry into the war when that publication was awarded the Pulitzer prize for it's editorial policy.
 Shortly afterward he went to the University of Washington as dean of the School of Journalism there, succeeding the late Dr Henry Suzzallo as president of the university in 1926. He has written a number of Journalism texts. in- cluding News Writing" and "Edi- torial Writing"

SILVER STAR HOME
SOON WILL CLOSE
One More Week Given to
Display of Spring Valley
House.

The public will be afforded final
opportunity next week to visit the
beautiful Silver Star Home at 3601
Forty-ninth street, Spring Valley,
which in three weeks has attracted
more than 10000 persons.
Crowds during the past three weeks
have taxed the capacity of the large
home. The builders of The Star home,
the firm of w. c. and A. N. Miller,
developers of Spring Valley, Wesley
Heights and Westerleigh, have pro-
nounced the current house one Of
the most successful display houses
they have ever built. The thousands
Of visitors have been almost unani-
nous in their praise of the dwelling
and the way in which it is furnished.
The house, the sixth Silver Star
Home of 1885, is the largest home
The Star has sponsored in several
years. The special committee of ex-
perts in home construction, planning
and design, which examines and in
dorses all houses to receive the Silver
Star award, thought the Spring Valley
house contained features which placed
it far above the average expensive
dwelling built for speculative pur-
poses. This committee, which is
headed by James S. Taylor of the
Federal Housing Administration, found
that the house is one of the best
built structures to be found in WASH
ington today. They stated that it
was well priced.
Biggs Antique Co. Of 1917 Connecti-
cut avenue have furnished the house
with beautiful antiques and authentic
reproductions of classical pieces which
