COLLEGIATE ALUMNAE PICNIC DATE CHANGED 10 fflW HIV 29 Eugene Branch Pays Pledge Of $500 During Year To Women’s Building The aftnual picnic of the Eugene branch of the Association of Collegiate Alumnae has been postponed from May 22 to Saturday, May 29. At the business meeting which is always a feature of the picnic, election of offi cers for the following year will be held. During the year just closing Mrs. Myra Johnson, a member of the University of Oregon Alumnae Asso ciation, has been president; Miss Mary Perkins, treasurer, and Mrs. Sarah Tingle, secretary. The Eugene branch of the associa tion has been able this year to com plete the payment of the $500 pledge made to the Women’s Building fund, to grant a loan fund of $25 to a Uni versity girl, and co-operate with the School of Music in securing the con cert of the violinist, Jaqires Thibaud. The Eugene branch is aliated with the Association of Collegiate Alumae, an international organization for col lege women. The association has 119 branches in thirty-one states, in Wash ington, D. C., Hawaii, the Philippines, and just recently a branch has been established in Tokyo, Japan. Any woman holding a degree in arts, sci ence, letters or philosophy from an institution on the accredited list of the association is eligible to full member ship. College women who are not eligible to full membership may be come associate members. The association has acquired recent ly a national club house in Washing ton, D. C., a rather .famous and ex tremely interesting old mansion on LaFayette Square, which was built about 1824 and remodeled some twen ty-five years later. For thirty-five years since its in corporation, the A. C. A. has worked successfully for the raising of stand ards in American colleges for women. It has opened and developed the field of opportunities for women in the pro fessions. It was the first organization to establish fellowships exclusively for women; now a number of splendid fellowships are offered to A. C. A. members, of which the following are typical: An annual fellowship of $1. 000 for research in physics, chemistry or biology in either America or Eu rope; a felolwship of -1000 awarded in alternate .years for research work; one for $500 for the year 1919-1920 avail able for study in Europe; one for $640 awarded in alternate years and avail able for study in Europe or America. Since its organization, the Eugene branch has offered a loan fund of $25 a year to a girl in the University of Oregon. The loan is made without in terest and is to be repaid as soon after graduation as convenient. Five girls have used this loan and this year three of the loans have been re paid, so that there is now in the treasury $75, all of which will proba bly available to girls in the Univer sity next year. Practically all of the work of the association is in the interest of bet ter education and better opportunities for women. Every woman graduate of the Tjniversity of Oregon is eligible for membership in the association and the local branch sincerely hopes that every senior girl whose home is in Eugene will bec®me a member. There which will welcome University women whose h^mes are there.
