WORTH THINKING ABOUT Alumni will doubtless have various | plans for the good of the Association! which they will wish to have referred ] to committees next Saturday night' at the preliminary meeting of the State Association. Some problems which confront the ^plumni every year, and which have not yet found satisfactory and permanent settlement, are: What is the status of an associate member? Although former students have been admitted in a vague way to the the privileges of the Associa tion, their rights and limitations have never been defined. Can a list of former students be compiled. Past catalogues of the University show hundreds and thou sands of non-graduates, most of them loyal supporters of the institution. Shall we make an attempt to get into touch with these former students. How fully will the University co-op crate in such and undertaking? What shall we do about alumni publication ? Shall we continue an ^alumni page in the Emerald, shall we attempt an official publication month ly or quarterly, or are we better off with no publication at all? We all have our opinions on such a matter, but only careful investigation by a committee can put the matter into such shape that we can act upon it wisely and surely. What shall we do to increase the alumni sinking fund? Shall we use interest from it for debate prizes, for current expenses, or shall we add it to the principal in order to increase the fund to such proportions that it will be of real value to the Associa tion and to the University? What can the alumni do to promote the giving of scholarships? What is the attitude of the Association toward the proposed plan of a class memo rial building? These are only a few of many im ^ portant questions that arise. If we attempt to work them out fully in the annual meeting, we shall get no where. If they can be referred to in terested committees for full inves tigation and careful report, we may have somewhat better success. IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT Through the courtesy of the officers of the local branch of the University of Oregon Alumnae, opportunity will be given next Saturday evening for a brief meeting of the State Alumni Association. President John C. Veatch authorizes and calls this meeting and expects to be present to preside over it. The purpose of the meeting is to take arrangements for commence ent and to expedite the business of the annual meeting by appoint ment of committees. Several committees appointed at the last annual meeting will be asked for preliminary reports. Although the time will probably be too short to permit extended discus sion of general matters, this meeting will afford an excellent opportunity to refer such matters to committees for investigation and report. Any member living too far from Eugene to attend this meeting may be certain that any communication sent to the Secretary for the consid eration of the meeting will be brought to its attention. A Further reminder will go into the Eugene papers. Let us try to be on hand at 8:00 o’clock for this brief business meeting, in order that it may not in the least interfere with the real business of the evening, namely, the enjoyment of the good time planned by the hostesses, the lo cal branch of the University Alum nae. ALUMNAE HAVE SYSTEM FOR KEEPING UP TO DATE Miss Mary McCornack, ’82, Presi dent of the State Alumnae Asociation, has asked one member of each grad uated class to act as historian. Thus the alumnae keep track of the addresses of class members, the list p of those deceased and collect items of interest in the life of the grad uates. State Alumnae Grant Mary Spiller Scholarship to Girl from Ben ton County For the third time, the Mary Spil ler scholarship has been awarded by the Executive Committee of the State Alumnae Association of the Univer sity if Oregon. The Executive Committee of the As sociation consists of Miss Mary Mc Comack, President, Miss Ann Mc Miskene, Recording Secretary, and Miss Susie Bannard, Corresponding Secretary. The committee, at the re cent meeting, granted the scholar ship for 1915-16 to a young lady from Benton County. The same young lady had the scholarship for the cur rent college year, but was obliged to return home at the close of the first semester. This scholarship, worth $155 per year, is made up for the most part from the annual dues of the members of the State Alumnae. Since the fund was established in 1912, the Portland Association has assisted to the ex tent of about $59. The scholarship is called for Mary Spiller, the first wo man to teach in the University and the first woman professor in the state.
