Alumni Section President .John C. Veatch, ’O'! Fenton Blc.^ Portland. Secretary-Treasurer— Bari Kilpatrick, '09, 1253 Ferry St. Eugene. SUMMER SCHOOL Every graduate who is teaching should consider carefully the advan tages of spending six weeks at th( summer session of the University. Nc better opportunity for professional growth is easily available. Added tc this opoprtunity will be the advan tages of increasing acquaintanct among the leaders in school work ir the state. At the two big conferences on educational problems, the list ol those present will be almost equiva lent to a “Who’s Who” of the school men and women of Oregon. The chance to do work in compara tively small classes with G- Stanley Hall, J. Duncan Spaeth, J. Elwood Cubberly, Charles R. Frazier and our own Henry D. Sheldon, and to come into personal contact with these truly significant men, is a chance which is not offered to Oregon teachers by any other institution. BASEBALL Shall there be an alumni baseball i game during commencement week? If so, when? And whom shall we play? Shall it be the Seniors, that those fledgling alumni may be brought to know their proper place in the scheme of things? Shall we give the faculty a chance to redeem itself after the recent series with the professors from the Agricultural College? Unfortunately, there is no elected officer of the association who carries the title of manager of athletics. How ever, a mere detail like that will never prevent the alumni from scheduling a baseball game if they really want it. The baseball fever affects some peo ple more readily than others. Several graduates have already expressed the opinion that commencement can hardly be called complete without a ball game. What about it? MISS DELILAH PROSSER IS WIFE OF DR.

BEN WILLIAMS PAYS HIS DOLLAR AND GIVES VIEWS Ben Williams, 10, statistician for the Industrial Accident Commission of Oregon, visited the campus on Memorial Day, which was for his of fice a holiday. After securing a receipt for dues for the year 1915-16, Mr. Williams expressed his interest in student and alumni matters. “I am really surprised,” said Mr. Williams, “at the showing which the graduate manager, Mr- A. R. Tiffany, has made this year in wiping out the indebtedness of the Student Body and finishing the year with a surplus. Close connection through several years with the finances of the Student Body has taught me what a difficult task Mr. Tiffany has accomplished. “I am in favor of a day that shall be known as Alumni Day at com mencement time. Many busy alumni can come back only for one day, al though this might easily be increased to two, if Alumni Day were placed on Saturday or Monday. Of course, Tuesday of commencement week is practically Alumni Day as matters now stand, and has the advantage of being the day before Commencement Day, which is in a way the culminat ing point of the interest of the week. I have talked with Walter Winslow, ’06, who presented the idea at the last annual meeting, and hope that he or someone else will present a feasi ble and detailed plan for an Alumni Day in 1916.” TSCHANZ WILL STUDY AT CHICAGO AND COLUMBIA Herman C. Tschanz, ’12, has re signed the superintendency of the Coburg schools, after two years of successful experience.
