The first Alumni Homecoming Day seems to be an unqualified success. True, the number of old timers who have returned is not stupendous, nei ther are the rites arranged in their honor elaborate. No doubt the rain and the limited advertising given this pioneer attempt at Alumni Day ac count in part for the meager atten dance. However, the chief explana tion is that the Alumni are not ac customed to coming back to the cam pus every year for such an occasion as this. In the modest success of this first Alumni Day there is a germ of a pos sible Oregon custom which shall have far-reaching benefits. Should it be made a permanent event, it will be come a powerful link between the past and the present—between the alumnus and the undergraduate. The old students need to keep in closer % touch with the campus and we of this generation need the inspiration which they alone can give us. At many other colleges Alumni Day is one of the important events of the year. The graduates look forward to it and make a practice of gathering together at that time, rather than straggling in throughout the year. Re unions of various classes are held, and ceremonies and contests in which the old students are the sole participants. Such details no doubt will be worked out in time here, should the custom become established. lo tho Alumni who have responded to this first call, the Emerald extends a warm welcome on behalf of tho Stu dent Body. You will find that chmur es have taken pace, and that greater changes are taking place, on the old campus. The spirit of progress, which invaded it but rarely in the old days, is at work in every activity of the University. We hope you will be pleased with what you find, but that you will feel free to praise or cen sure as you see fit. Then here’s to the Alumni and to Alumni Day may we see more of both of them. ************ * TO-KO-LO announces the elec- * * tion of the following Sophomores: * * John Bull. * * Emmett Rnthbun. * * Harold Hamstreet. * * Frank Scaiefe. * * Howard Hall. * * Fred Kiddle, * * Lloyd Bayly. * * Walter Anvspoker. * **«****♦*♦*♦ Y.
