DEAN FOX BACK AFTER
WEEK SPENT IN CITIES
OF WESTERN OREGON
Trip Made For Organization of
World Service Campaign
of Y. W. C. A.
After nearly a week’s trip over
Western Oregon, canvassing various
towns for the purpose of instigating
enthusiasm for the Y. W C. A. nation
wide campaign for world service, Dean
Eliabeth Fox returned to the campus
Saturday. During her trip Dean
Fox visited in Portland, McMinnville,
Salem, Medford, Ashlmd, Grants
Pass, and Roseburg and met many
former students of the University. In
each city Miss Fox practically organ
ized the campaign for the Y. W. C.
A. It was then left to competent
hands to work out, except in Medford,
where she took an active part in the
local campaign, she stated.
“I went first to Portland last Satur
day,” said the Dean of Women of the
University, “and made my first speech
‘Overseas with the A. E. F.’ that day
at a luncheon at the Benson hotel,
given by the Multnomah Chapter of
the Daughters of the American Revo
i lution, at which Major W- S. Gilbert
was the principal speaker.”
From Portland Dean Fox went to
McMinnville on Sunday, where she
was the guest of Mrs. E. C. Apperson,
who has a daughter at the University.
“I was not scheduled to speak here,”
said the Dean, “but I invited myself
to appear before the public.” Five
minute talks were given at the Bap
tist Sunday school the Presbyterian
church and the Christian church that
day. The Methodist church was also
to have been covered but Dean Fox ar
rived there too late she said.
“Although Salem was not on my
schedule” continued the Dean “I stop
ped there a,few hours on' my way
south and was entertained by Miss

Dean Fox spent Monday in Med
| ford where she spoke to a high school
assembly in the afternoon, and ad
dressed a public meeting at the lib
rary that evening over which Mr.
Vernon Vawter, a regent of the Uni
versity, presided. “In Medford a
1 group of University of Oregon girls
! gave a dinner at the hotel at which
■ I was the guest. Among the girls
j were Alice VanderSluis, Margaret
Mansfield, the two Misses Creede,
: Miss Blaker, Hazel Antle, Ethel New
! land, and Miss McGillafry, the organ
j izing secretary for the Medford Y. W.
C. A. campaign.
Ashland was the next stop for Dean
Fox and there she was the guest at
the home of the mayor of the city.
Here Dean Fox spoke at a parent
teacher meeting.
Wednesday was spent in Grants
Pass and while there Dean Fox was
the guest of Miss Alva Wilson, an
Oregon graduate. A short talk was
given at a luncheon at the Josephine
hotel and that evening a mass meet
ing was held at the Christian church
where Mrs. Charles Drake, of the Eu
gene Bible University, presided and
Dean Fox was the principal speaker.
“While in Roseburg last Thursday,”
said Dean Fox, I drove out into the
country and called on Mrs. William
Canby, formerly Grand President of
Kappa Kappa Gamma, and whom I
had known in Philadelphia and New
York during my college days.” In
Roseburg Miss Fox spoke at Ladies
Aid circles of both the Baptist and
the Methodist churches, and also at
a high school assembly.
“I had dinner in Roseburg with
Ruth Wilson and Vena McCully, both
former students of the University and
afterwards we called upon two French
war brides who had known Miss Tirza
Dinsdale, former secretary of the Uni
versity Y. .W. C. A., while she was in
France.”
“In addition to speaking for the
Y. W. C. A. during my tour,” said
Miss Fox, “I was making tentative
arrangements for the members of the
Girls Glee club, which will make the
same tour next term.”

GIRL DELEGATES TO
DES HIES SPEAK
AT WOMEN’S LEAGUE
Informal Talks Given by Four;
Medical Needs In India
Serious
Short informal talks by Mildred
Weeks, Louise Davis, Miss Urith
Dailey and Eleanor Spall, delegates
to the Des Moines convention, were
given at Women’s league meeting
on Thursday afternoon at Villard
hall.
“It is almost impossible to make
the students at the University realize
the immensity of the whole conven
tion,” said Miss Weeks. “It was the
most wonderful gathering of stu
dents that has ever assembled and
their earnestness in the cause for
which they had come together was
intense. Perhaps the greatest inspir
ation which we received were those
given by returned missionaries who
told of the crying need for American
aid in the far east. Our ideas of
those interested in the work -on for
eign fields have in most instances
been entirely changed, for -we found
that most of the workers were live,
skillful college graduates who were
very enthusiastic in their chosen
work.”
Miss Spall took as her subject “Wo
man’s part* in the world struggle,”
and told of the great fields which are
•open to women in the foreign lands
of today. “There is the greatest
need in the fields today for skillful
women doctors, nurses and social
workers. There are today in India
150,000,000 and only 159 women doc
tors, in Africa 50,000,000 women and
only 15 women doctors. In China
there is the great call for American
women who can conduct social ser
vice classes for the married women
and instruct them in home manage
ment.”
Miss Dailey told of some of the
personal experiences which leading
speakers of the convention gave at
informal conferences, while Louise
Davis, president of the Women’s
league, urged the girls to think of
the needs which were placed before
them and stand back of the people
who are giving their lives for others.
