_ALUMNI SECTION_ No. 9. Vol. II. Alumni news this week compiled by Charles Dundore. ALUMNI GATHER AT MEAL IN PORTLAND Rousing Meeting Held Saturday. Forty Men Were Present. Forty men, alumni of the Fniversty of Oregon, met at lunch at the Hazelwood in Portland on Saturday, December 4, to discuss problems of University and alum ni interest. John C. Veatch, '07, presi dent of the Portland alumni association, was toastmaster. Mr. Veatch introduced President P. L. Campbell, Fletcher Linn, ’90, and H. B. Miller, as speakers of the day. “Every man has upon him a two-fold burden of responsibility,” said Mr. Linn. “First he must take care of himself and those dependent upon him; secondly, he must do his duty by the state and its in stitutions. Most of us who get out of college and have to struggle for a living, necessarily give attention to the first duty. As we have opportunity, we should not be unmindful of the obligation we are under to advance the interests of the commonwealth and its institutions. “At this particular time, the Univer sity of Oregon and the other educational institutions of the state will gain much if they may have the unselfish thought of alumni who will plan toward the de velopment of a great state system of popular education. For my part, I hope to do my duty in this respect in the fu ture.” President Campbell begged leave to , quote from Coach Bezdek to the effect that “Oregon is a great state.” “As a great state, we must have a truly great educational organization,” continued the president. “We must overcome the idea that there is any division of interest among the higher educational institu tions of the state, and learn to look upon them all as one great institution with three separate functions.” Mr. H. B. Miller, director of the School of Commerce, plead with the alumni to work for closer connection with the Uni versity and its faculty in order that the faculty may have the benefit of the point of view of business men who are also graduates of the institution. Mr. Miller asserted that the TJniversty must stand for state-wide educational service and that the faculty can be helped greatly in rendering this service by frequent meet ings and conversations with thoughtful alumni. The next meeting of the Portland alumni is scheduled for the first Satur day in January. Those present at the luncheon were: John C. Veatch, ’07; Colin V. Pyment. professor of Journalism; Earl Fortmil ler, T4; Delbert Stannard, ’14; Willard Shaver, T4; Francis Curtis, ’lH; Boy K. Terry, ’10; Dr. Douglas W. Taylor, ’00; Superintendent L. B.
