Later he chose to remain ia Pittsburg so I stayed in the United States. I was taken out of the regular class in biology and put on research work. “Iu December Dr. Bacon of Mellen In stitute appointed me his research assist ant, which position I held until the mid dle of February when I was asked to take charge of the Arsenal laboratory here where I have been for a year and eight months. I have an assistant who does the routine work and I do the dif ficult analyses. I work in the fuels, oils, paints, glue, leather, steels, soaps, alloy, pure metals, acids, alkalies, water, near beer, grease, insulators and many other things. Then I have the unexpected to work with such as special investigations, so I feel that I am gaining valuable ex perience. “We have 2500 men here in the ar senal and are adding about 300 each month. It is the intention to increase the force to 5,000 within the coming year, and I expect to add another man or two to my force when things are go ing full blast. “Of course, I don’t expect to stay here forever. In fact I am planning to go into University teaching as soon as I feel that my practical experience will make me a better teacher. “I met Dr. Bartow last week and he ! claims me ns a ‘college grandson’ for he says Professor Stafford was his col lege son.” ALUMNI COUNCIL CHOSEN Ballots Counted on October 28; Members Will Meet on Homecoming Day.

ALUMNUS MEETS DEATH Raymond Thomas Sacrifices His Life to Save Rest of the Party. Raymond Thomas, who graduated from the University of Oregon in 1912, died of exposure and over-exertion on the night of September 30, during a terri fic storm which overtook him and a party of mountain climbers who were on a week-end trip in the mountains near Elko, Nevada. Mr. Thomas was an instructor in the Ruby high school of Elko, Nevada, and with a party of teachers left for a week end hike in the mountains. They were making their way up a deep canyon early Saturdny afternoon when a raging storm came upon them. They had no protec tion from the driving rain, and in their efforts to find shelter the party became separated. In his heroic efforts to gather the party together and return to a place of safety Mr. Thomas became exhausted and fell by the trail, where he lay in an unconscious state for hours, with the storm beating upon his body. When he vas rescued near midnight by the other men of the party there was hardly a spark of life in his body, and although he was carried to camp and medical aid summoned he could not be revived. The rest of the party made their way safely to their camp, although some of the ladies were carried in exhausted. All of Elko is m jurning the sad but heroic fate of Mr. Thomas, for his honor and strength of character hac\ won the love and friendship of everyone who knew him. The body was taken to his home in Ashland, Oregon, and he was buried in Mountain View cemetery on October 5. Mr. Thomas was 26 years old, and the son of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Thomas, of Ashland, Oregon. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ From its dues of $1 per member ♦ ♦ the Oregon Alumnae association ♦ ♦ each year provides a scholarship for ♦ ♦ sojne woman student of the Univer- ♦ ♦ sity.

It is the plan of the local alumnae club of the Ijniversity of Oregon to hold a reception for all the graduates of the University next Saturday evening at 7:3Q o’clock in the Armory, preceding the Homecoming dance. Mrs. J. O. Holt, president of the local alumnae club, says, “We want to make this reception a big welcome, a happy reunion for all of the graduates. It will not be like the com mencement reception. At that time the seniors are the main attraction,—next Saturday it will be the alumni.” The reception will be very informal and it is the plan of those in charge not to have a formal receiving line,—merely a get together meeting at which old friends can meet. According to the plans of Mrs. Holt, the local club members will act as a com mittee to welcome former students back to the campus. She has appointed a large committee of active alumni to act as a welcoming committee. ANNOUNCES SON’S BIRTH. The following is a part of a letter received by Professor O. F.
