Some of these records were typed on what seems to have been an old, badly adjusted, manual typewriter with a defective ribbon. These pages did not scan well and are therefore garbled. This is deeply regretted and these will have to be typed manually probably. E. K. August 2004

Report of October 4, 1909. Special Meeting of the Faculty.
The following report was received from the advisory committee on hazing at the opening of the
The Faculty of the University of Oregon.
hazing, of Friday evening, Sept. 24, the details of which have already
Your commitee having in charge the case of alleged
been brought to the attention of the Faculty, after investigation beg
. leave to submit the following recommendations:
year;
1.
That the manner in which those participating all came
forward at the request of the committee and freely confessed to the parts they individually took in the unfortunate affair, be
given due consideration by the Faculty in determining the degree
of punishment to be inflicted.
These confessions were made
voluntarily, except in so far as the public opinion of the entire student body came to the aid of the committee on a mere promise
that in case all the participants were se'cured the committee would recommend leniency, but under the definite assurance. that immunity
would not be granted.
This splendid and promising example of
student cooperation in enforcing University law seems to. your
committee to constitute a further reason for mitigating the severity
of the necessary punishments.
2.
Your committee therefore proposes as a suitable punish
ment for Calvin Welch, Elmer Furuset, Rex Turner, LaVerne Van Marter,
W. T. Eliot, John Shattuck, Charles Randall, E. J. Smith, Allyn Roberts, John Shantin, Robert Alton, Fred strang, (Ralph Moores) ,
Carl Huston, Chester
A. Moores, E. C. Latourette, Ralph Newland,
Charles Olsen, Leigh Huggins, E. D. Flynn, F. E. Myers, F. C. stern
W. L. Rinehart, M. W. Hawkins, Homer Jamison, Walter Fisher, Earl
Kidder, C. B. Baer, E. C. Benson, G. F. Carter, and J. M. Moore,
all of whom participated in some manner in the hazing of the
Freshmen on the night of September 24th, under the impulse of
class animosity, but none of whom ever violated theretofore any
University regulation, so far as the committee can learn, and who now appear seriously to repent their rash and wrongful conduct,
that each of them be given his choice of two alternatives:
First, to sever his relations with the University for the
balance of this semester: or
Second, to present in person to the President of the University within ten days from date a petition to the Faculty asking to be
allowed to continue as a student of this institution.
Said
petition shall express regret for the part the student took in
the violation of University law by participating in the recent hazing, and shall contain a solemn promise to uphold the regulations
of the Faculty hereafter:
specifically, the student shall covenant
to assist the Faculty in carrying out their declared determination to eliminate from the institution the evil of hazing in all its
forms.
0
This petition shall be signed by the petitioner and
shall be endorsed by his parent, guardian, or nearest male relative.
3.
Your committee further proposes, as the most lenient
treatment that can be accorded to Abe Blackman. Austin Flegel
and Samuel Earhart, all of whom participated in the recent hazing,
despite the fact that each of them had previously been warned and placed on probation for some infraction of University law, that
each of them be suspended from the University during the present
school year.
4.
Your committee further recommends, as the most lenient
punishment for Charles Widlund, consistent with the welfare and
dignity of the University, that he be suspended from the University
for the remainder of the present school year.
The ground for this
recommendation is found in the circumstance that when the committee
asked a group of the confessed hazers whether or not they would be disposed to repeat the offense, Widlund defiantly and boastfully
asserted that he believed hazing to be justifiable and that he would
"indulge in it whenever it seems necessary."
Although he later
presented a written retraction, the committee was unable to convince
themselves, by a thorough and most serious process of cross-questioing, that it would be safe to accord Mr. Widlund the privilege of
remaining during the present year in the institution whose regulations
he ,had treated with such flagrant disrespect. P. L. Campbell,

REPORT ADOPTED
Moved by Professor Glen that the report of the committee be adopted as a whole.
Moved by Professor Barnett, as an amendment. that
the report be adopted with the exception of the second alternative
penalty of Section 2.
The amendment was lost.
The original motion
carried.
LIVIA BOND
The petition of Livia Bond to be allowed to
carry eighteen hours of class work this semester and to make up one credit and her thesis outside next semester, was not granted
for the reason that Miss Bond has twenty-four hours to make for
graduation, practically one year's work.
ALFRED POWERS
The petition of Alfred Powers to have credit for
all of his work carried during his sophomore and junior years was granted, for the reason that his grades are uniformly A and B.
RUTH HANSEN
The petition of Ruth Hansen for twenty hours for
graduation was not granted, but she was allowed to take eighteen hours and to make up one year of physical training this semester
for graduation.
DUDLEY CLARKE
The petition of Dudley Clarke to be allowed to
carry twenty hours for graduation was not granted.
ORMOND RANKIN
The petition of Ormond Rankin to be allowed to
carry twenty hours for graduation was not granted. The faculty adjourned.

RHODES SCHOLAR 1909.
The following,
a majority report of the committee..
on the selection, of a Rhodes Scholar, was adolpted:
"The Committee recommendls that Cecil Lyans be the candidate
of the University of OreGon for the Rhodes Scholarship.
Statement:
The two candidates seriously considered by the
committee were Cecil Lyans and Bolton Hamble.
1.11'. Lyans ranke (1
high in scholarship throughout his course, two-thirds of his
marks being A's and
the balance B' s.
M,Ir .
Hamble's grades ranged
fron Ii to D, with an average of C; his scholarship lacked in exactness and his English was noticeably weak.
Mr. Lyans' work as an intercollegiate debater
last year
showed great constructive ability, as testified to by his
colleagues and by the coach, ilr. Eliot, who ranked his work
and that of Jesse Bond as excellent.
Neither candidate showed markecd athletic albility.
Perso::n
ally, Mr. Hamble was better liked than ,fIr. Lyans.
M,Ir. Iyans
lacked popularity as a student, owing to a certain "bumptiousness'!. due no doubt largely to precocity and immaturity.
A recent letter from one of our last year student 13, now at
Coquille, where Lyans is teaching, states that he is well liked by his students, is working hardl and, giving excellent instruction;
and further, that he has dlropped the unpleasant WJaYs of his student
days.
The writer had a personal dislike for him while in the
University:
Because of 1M11'. Lyans' high scholarship and constructive
ability, wlich more than outweigh certain temporary defects in
his personality, the cOmlmi ttee bel ieve him to be the candidate
more likely to reflect cred,it on the University.

This work shall be twenty per cent more in quantity than the work required of other students. (c) Work falling short of that defined in paragraph (a), but at the same time good enough to serve as prerequisite in any case. .

That the present system of grading be retained.
II. That students without deficiencies who have a record for the preceding semester in their grades of two_thirds A's and B's and none below C, shall be permitted to take a maximum of eighteen hours, the excess credits beyond sixteen hours being forfeited in case of failure to maintain the standard mentioned.
Advantages of Proposed. Plan. (a) It makes no unnecessary change in the established system of marking. (b) It does not require the instructor to have two divisions in the same class, thus greatly increasing his work for a small fraction of the class, as the majority report of the committee would necessitate. (c) It encourages the capable and industrious student to do his best work by permitting graduation in three years under the following conditions: . By attaining the standard mentioned in paragrapheII he will have a maximum of 106 semester hours to his credit in regular work, the remaining fourteen semester hours may be made up either by attending two summer sessions or attending one summel'session and doing outside work. (d) It would strengthen the summer school by giving a strong incentive to a larger number of students to attend. (e) The superior engineering students in their four year's course would be enabled to accomplish much more work than at present.

NEW MAJORITY REPO.RT' SUBSTITUTED.
By common consent the following report on honors was submi tted by the majority for the report
offered at the last meeting;
To the Faculty of the University of Oregon: Your committee appointed to consider the question of honors, methods of securing better habits of study among the students, etc., makes the following recommendations:
Sec. I.
That in crediting the work of students in the University toward graduation, the same principle should be applied which is regularly recognized in actual life, namely, that the compensation, which in this case is time toward graduation, should be in some definite relation or proportion to the character or grade of the work performed. Sec. II. That four grades of University work be recognized, as follows: Work to be designated by the symbol I, which shall be of distinctly superior excellence. , Work to be designated by the symbol II, which shall be such as reasonably can be expected from students of fully average ability working upon the time basis contemplated by the present course of study, i.e., two hours of study , in preparation for each hour registered, and three hours in laboratory courses. Work to be designated by the symbol III, which shall . be of passing grade, but inferior to that defined for grades I and II. Work to be designated by the symbol IV, which is not of passing grade and which consequently must be repeated entirely in course before being entitled to classification under grades I, II, or III. The marks Condition and Incomplete, representing simply suspended grades which eventually must be reported as I, II, III, or IV,shall remain as at present.
Sec. III. That in computing the hours to be credited toward the one hundred and twenty required for graduation in the College of Literature, Science and the Arts, the hours reported as of Grade I be given a weighting of 120% as to time; the hours reported as of Grade II be given a weighting of 100% as to time; the hours reported as of Grade III be given a weighting of 80% as to time; while the hours reported as of Grade IV be given the weighting 0% as to time. It is provided, however, that the provision for weighting work reported as of Grade III be suspended during the Freshman year. Sec. IV. That graduation in three years be made possible under the following conditions: Students may register for sixteen hours for their first semester in the University, and, without petition, for seventeen hours in the next succeeding semester if the hours earned during the first semester, when properly weighted, shall amount to as many as nineteen. In such cases enrollment for seventeen hours shall also be permitted without petition in the third and succeeding semesters, providing that in each of the preceding semesters after the first, the hours earned, when properly weighted, shall amount to as many as twenty, but graduation shall follow only upon the completion of the regular amount of 120 semester hours.
Sec. V. That the provisions of this report shall become effective with the beginning of the school year 1910-191l.

Moved by Prof. Schafer that further consider
ation of the majority report be postponed to the next regular IDeeting of the faculty, to be made a special

O~IVER PETITION
The following petition, signed by members of
the student body, was laid on the table: "We, the undersigned students of the University of Oregon, do hereby protest against the aotion of the varsity Y.M.C.A., inviting French E. Oliver, the evangelist, to speak on the varsity campus Friday night. In view of the slanders without cause which preacher Oliver has made against the character of women of the University student body, against University men in calling them "rotten as hell", against members of the University faoulty, and against the President of the United states, we consider his presence' here upon invitation of a varsity organization, making him practically a guest of the University, as highly objectionable."
SPEC IAL STUDENTS, REQUlREME~TS FOR,
The following recommendation of the committee appointed to interpret the rules for special
student standing was adopted:
0:1 .J
'The privileges of a special student are intended for those who, for any rea~n, ~reunable to complete a college course, but who are qualified by age, character, practical experience, purpose and habits of study" to profit by university courses. Special students shall be of two classes as follows:
(l) Persons~ not candidates for a degree, who have met all the requirements for entrance to the freshman year, to be known as Collegiate Special Students. They may be permitted to take one or more oollege courses for which they are fitted and shall be subject to the nine hour rule, except that when registered for fewer than nine hours they must secure credit in them all. (2) Persons of maturity, twenty years of age or over, and teachers in public or private schools, who present satisfactory credentials and testimonials, to be known as Irregular Special Students. They may be permitted to take one or more college courses for which they are fitted, subject to the condition that they must complete satisfactorily sixty per cent of the work undertaken.
All applications for speoial student standing must be passed upon by the Committee on Special Students, who reserve the right to discuss and change any proposed program of studies. Students, other than those of mature years, must give evidence of a definite object to be attained by the courses sought. Students who have met all the requirements for entrance to the freshman year and are candidates for a degree shall be considered regular students, even though for sufficient reasons they maybe permitted to take less than the minimum number of hours. They shall be subject to the nine-hour rule, except that when registered for fewer than nine hours they must secure credit in them all."
ROY TERRY
The petition of Roy Terry to be allowed credit for
51 hours in his major subject, an excess of , credit in Economics having been secured before the work in Political Science was as fully
r~presented as at present, was favorably recommended by the committee.
On motion the recommendation was adopted.
JANE KNOX
In the case of Jane Knox the committee recommended that
Miss Knox be allowed to take an examination in History and tha~ if she passes she receive 3 hours credit for the same, thereby lessening
by three hours the amount of "outside" work she is allowed to do. The recommendation was adopted.
L.H.PINKHAM
The petition of L. H. Pinkham to take 19 hours this
semester, completing his college work with the exception of thesis, was granted.
J.Earl Jones
The petition of J. Earl Jones to carry 18 hours this
semester in order to make graduation with his class, a deficit having
been incurred on aooount of sickness at home, was granted.
REMOVAL OF DEFICIENCIES NInE-HOUR RULE. REPORT LAID ON TABLE
The following report was laid on the table:
"To the faculty of the University of Oregon. Your committee to whom were referred questions concerning examinations for the removal of deficiencies in September, and the application of the nine-hour rule, present the following report:
We recommend that dates be fixed and announced for the removal of conations and deficiencies by examination during the registration period at the opening of the first semester in addition to the present regular time in December and May and the semester examinations. Since the nine-hour rule implies the desirabilityof the student's doing the work connected with his courses of study during the semester in which he is registered in those courses, and attempts to enforce this practice by a sever penalty, we recommend that a student failing to make nine hours in the second semester be not allowed to re-register in the next semester on making up thax-number of hours by examination at the opening of the year except by special vote of the faculty. . The committee presents to the facu~ty for its the question whether the hours necessary to make may be ~aken in'the Sumfler School, with strict residence and final examination.
consideration the full nine insistence on

REGISTRATION FOR OU~SIDE woRK - LAID ON TABLE
The following recommendation was
laid on the table:
"No student of the University shall undertake any work or examination with a view to credit for a University degree without registration for such work or examination with the Registrar; such registration must be accepted by the faculty, or its properly ddlegated committee before the proposed work is undertaken. Students of good standing with a limited amount of classwork may be permitted, on the basis of private study outside of 6niversity classes, to take certain University examinations for the purpose of gaining' advanced standing (not to exceed 10 semester hours) ,but in all such cases the authorization 0:11 the faculty must be secured by written petition before preparation for such examination is begun."
DISCOURAGEMENT OF ATHLETICS - LAID ON TABLE
~he following resolution presented by Prof. Young was laid on the table:
"Resolved, that it is to the highest interests of this institution to commit itself definitely and determinedly to the policy of discouraging inter-collegiate athletic contests in the Pacific Northwest to the limit of securing the elimination of them and the substitution of other means for the expression of the unity and spirit of the institution. Resolved that a special committee of five be appointed to devise and submit a course of procedure for attaining these ends."

REQ.UlREMENTS IN RHETORIC
Below is a suggested substitute wording for the wording in the catalogue from p. 95 (9 lines
from the bottom of page) to p. 96 (3 lines down).
The other matter
in the catalogue either hangs on the present requir~ment and could therefore be expunged, or is purely departmental and would therefore
require no action by the faculty. "Every student, at the beginning of the Fresh~ man year, shall elect either (l) to take an examination, or (2) to take six semester hours in Rhetoric for which college credit will be given.
THE EXAMINATION (a) The examination will be held during registration week at an hour and place announced on the bulletin boards. (b) It will consist (l) of exercises to test the students' knowledge of punctuation and sentence structure and (2) of a number of assigned topics to bring out the students' facility and accuracy in the use of English.
, (c) A student who attains a high degree of excellence in the examination is released from further requirements in English Composition, unless the student is majoring in that line of English. (d) Students who give evidence in the examination of a notable degree of efficiency in the use of English but who do not attain excellence shall be required, according to the worth of their papers, to take in freshman year either (l) two semester hours'or (2) four semester hours in Rhetoric.
(0) Those students who fail to show a s~tisfactory degree of efficiency in the examination will be required to take the regular Freshman six semester hours course. "

ATHLETIC RESOLUTIONS
The following resolutions offered by
Prof. Young were adopted:
A Declaration on Intercollegiate Athletics and the Higher Interests of the University and State.
The present vogue of, intercollegiate athletic contests is held to stand squarely in the way of the full realization hy the University of its higher spirit and mission. It is fully appreciated that intercollegiate athletic contests could not have attained their present sway as the dominant interest in the thought and life of the student body without serving, in a way, some essential purpose. Any salutary measure' of reform of our system of University recreations must, therefore, take into account this element of good now secured through intercollegiate contests and conserve this as a fundamental interest of the University, but through means not incompatible with the attainment b;)T the University of its proper life and functions.
1. Intercollegiate athletic contests and the controlling influence they have upon the work and, atmosphere of the University should be credited with serving the following purposes in the present life of the University. 1. They afford a means of expressing the unity of the institutional spirit. For this end they 8rp. eminently effective, but their very efficiency in this regard is baneful, or a.t least unworthy of the University as the agency of ranking power and position for pramoting the bewt and highest in civilization. < 2. The~r serve as a gs.ugeof the physical provvess of the representatives of the different institutions, and, therefore, of the institutions themselves; but lead to an apotheosis of physical prowess and consequent disparagement of mental, achievement. '
3. Under the interinstitutional comity, from them a pronounced and antagonism.
best conditions they are a medium of though more commonly there results an inveterate interinstitutional
4. They take up the exubera.nt Physical spontaneity of the physically strong, but turn some toward athletic professionalism.
II. Over against these elements of possible good derived from intercollegiate athletics must be placed the following indictments which call for a movement for relief from their blighting influence upon University life.
1. In the devotion to them. which almost inevitably becomes intemperate, the facilities of the institution for physical exercise and the attention of its physical directors are largely monopolize(l for the few who need these least ; with a minimum of interest in the needs of the many, adequate provision of 1f)acilities so that all might regularly pa:cticipate in outdoor games is neglected. The necessary and direct result that can unmistakably be ascribed to the inordinate devotion to interaollegiate atnletic contests is thus that the health and physical development of the masses of the students are distinctly below the level that under normal conditions would be realized.
2. It makes the spirit of combat prevail in the recreations of the University where the spirit of play should obtain. The precious resources in play in the associated life of the University are thus largely sacrificed; its efficacy as a means for health, life and democracy forfeited. This influence of intercollegiate athletic contests militates against the development of vigorous democracy, and represses inste~d of fosters the power of leadership potential in every student so that the average University man fails to become the social force he would under a right management of University recreations.
3.
Because of the undue prominence and publicity
given to physical prowess in connection with intercollegiate athletic contests there is a misplacement of prestige. The University is in these things taken as model by the youth of the high schools and their ideals are thus demoralized. The measure of publicity given to achievement in athletics is taken by the people generally as indicative of the relative degree in which the interests of the Commonwealth are fostered by the University. Its actual work is consequently disparaged and an incalulable injury is done the people in deterring them from giving largest loyalty and support to their most precious enterprise. The average student, too, is through this dominancy of the intercollegiate contests barred from participating fully and joyously in making the life of the University and thus has not the deepest loyalty awakened in him. ' , 4. Since the State University is democracy's great enterprise ~or furnishing its standards not merely of intellectual efficiency by also of "honesty, simplicity, sincerity and thoroughness" and for leading in its civilization, it is hardly . less than sacrilege to alloVi the life of the University to be dominated by intercollegiate athletic contests and the spirit they inherently involve. 5. Release from the thoroughly unsatisfactorJ condition of this phase of the associated life of the University can be secured only (a) by development of a rational system of recreations within the University. the provision of adequate facilities therefor, and the recognition of the higher purposes to be served; (b) through an appeal to the other institutions in the Pacific Northwest to co-oper~te in this movement of reform' for it is recognized that the grip of the perverted practice of ' inord~na~e devotion to intercolleg~ate athletics is so strong that 1t 1S beyond the~er of one 1Dstitution to cope with it Bingle-handed."
Moved by Prof. Howe the appointment of a committee of. five to confer with the Northwest Conference colleges with a view of
transferring the emphasis of athletics from intercollegiate to infra-collegiate, and with such incidental direction and control
as may seem necessary, the committee to report back to the faculty
early next fall.
The motion carried.
