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.

ler, T4; Delbert Stannard, ’14; Willard
