ALUMNI PAGE Included every Tuesday, byprcour tesy of the Emerald in the interests of the Alumni Asociation of the Uni versity of Oregon. The Emerald is sent without further charge to all Alumni whose »dues for the current year are paid. All news and communications for this page should be addressed to the Secretary of the Alumni, University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon. President .....John C. Veatch, ’0?. Fenton Bldg., Portland. Secretary-Treasurer— Earl Kilpatrick, ’09, 1253 Ferry St., Eugene. SEND IT IN This page belongs to the alumni and ex-students of the University of Oregon. The arrangement of the page is entirely in the hands of the stu dent staff, but the matter is fur nished to the Emerald through the Secretary of the Alumni. If any item of interest concerning any former student of the University has come to your attention, send it in. If you feel prompted to express your views concerning any matter of alumni interest, put them into the form of a communication, and send it in. If by any chance the matter of dues has thus far evaded your atten tion, just put a dollar bill into an en velope, and send it in. Other work keeps the Secretary ex tremely busy. For example two alum ni sections have been issued previ ous to this one, and the Secretary was unable to be in Eugene when either of them came from the press. He will undertake, however, to see that such notes as are sent to him are put in form for the printer. USE THE SCISSORS Much of the news on the Alumni page could well be pasted in scrap books for future reference. During the year, hundreds of items coifcern \ ing graduates and former students will appear in this section. If the pa per is thrown away, these items l ‘serve only for momentary refreshment ' of the memory. If, however, the in terested alumnus, after reading the alumni notes, clips them and rapidly classifies them in a scrap book or card index, the information is always available. We should suggest, as a beginning, the following classification, under which to file items: Changes of address; marriages, deaths and births; communications; items concerning ex sfudents; general alumni notes; notes from the alumnae; association news; miscellany. Other classifications will suggest themselves as the file grows larger. Mrs Adele Piclcel Kramer, ’01, of Valdez, Alaska, was visiting friends in Eugene last week. Mrs. Kramer is a member both of a German and of a French club in this little Alaska town. She reports that the Woman's Literary Club is one that does seri ous work.

Un der the revised constitution of the Alumni Association, such former stu dents are eligible to membership in the association. Part of the work of the Alumni Secretary this year will be to gather the names and addresses of as many as possible of these former students. Any alumnus who khows the ad dress of any former student'and has reason t* believe that the address is not on record at the University, will be cenferring a favor by sending' in the name and address on a postal card. ^ The names and addresses of a few former students are giVen below: George Herbert, a student in 1878, is now deputy sheriff of Baker Coun ty.
