ifllumR ectioii President _ Fento Secretary-Tr Earl Kilpatrick, . Eugene. K! eatcb, ’07 nd. Ferry St., HELP THEM ALONG Many boys and girls of undoubted ability finish high school in Oregon ev ery year and go directly to work on account of financial conditions. Some of these young people have a great deal to gain from a course at the Uni versity of Oregon. In spite of the fact that many of the Oregon Student Body are actually working their own way through col lege, the chance seems very remote to a youngster in a distant corner of the state, who has never faced the ne cessity of making a living away from home. Alumni may often render a great service to boys and girls by putting them in touch with actual conditions in Eugene. These conditions, alumni, es pecially recent alumni, know quite well. Only a few days ago, a woman who was graduated from the University several years ago, made arrange ments, at the cost of a little time and postage, whereby a young man of un doubted talent will find his way cleared of all difficulties except good iard work when he comes to the Uni versity next fall. Just what it has meant to see that this boy has his chance, only the future can tell.
