On Losing Grace Edgington
Grace Edgington, Oregon ’a prize alumni secret ary and edi
tor of one of the top-notch alumni publications in the country,
has announced her resignation,
To lose so valuable a worker as Miss Edgington right at the
time when friendly relations with the alumni are the most
valuable asset of the University is serious. There is no doubt
that the quality of “Old Oregon’’ is a mighty factor in keeping
the sons and daughters of this institution loyal and working for
their Alma Mater. It is also evident that the excellence of the
alumni magazine has given the University a prestige with other
institutions that is highly worth while.
Miss Edgington is quitting because she is tired. Unable to
obtain assistants she needed to take care of the petty details
with which she has been swamped, she has struggled along and
built up a great magazine. Now, with her success attained and
“Old Oregon’’ at the place where its influence is a potent fac
tor in making the gift campaign a success, she has to drop out
—a victim of the machine grind that has sent two of our
administrative officials to the sick-bed and is slowly but surely
wearing away others of our campus community.
Realization of the immense value of Old Oregon, resulting
in a closer touch on the part of the administration with condi
tions in the alumni office, might have saved this situation.
It would probably be impossible now to change the decision
of the weary secretary. If she could be persuaded to recon
sider, to take a long vacation during the summer months and
to return next tall, with the understanding that an adequate
staff would be put at her disposal, her decision would be hailed
with joy by the University.
Grave Edgington lias given much to Oregon. It, is up to
Oregon now to g0 out of its way to keep her. She holds a po
sition that would be very difficult to fill. The great tide of the
gitt campaign is upon us. Lincoln's famous opinion that it is
bad business to change horses while crossing a stream applies
to this case.
An alumni secretary, free to use her time and her talents to
administer the great work of alumni relations, and backed by
years of valuable experience, as the present secretary is, is an
absolute necessity.
What is the University going to do about it?
Over $25 was collected in one day, Wednesday, by the keep
er of Oregon's splendid new group of tennis courts. The rap
idly increasing interest in the net game should mean some win
ning teams in the near future.
We recently characterized spring as a time of picnics and
politics. So far the victorious “wearies” have given all the
advantage to picnics.
The expression “dime crawl” has become as famous on the
campus as “scofflaw” in prohibition circles.
Well, who’ll be the first candidate who’ll get the first eye
ful of mud?

Bill Hart again.
“Wild Bill Tlickok” sure was an
ideal comebaek vehicle t'ojr \S illiam
8 Hart, but to have followed it up
with a picture like “Singe* Jim
McKee,” which opens today at thl*
Rex, is a real achievement, for Bill
not only stars in the picture, hut
wrote the story himself and pro
duced the picture himself for
Paramount.

R. 0. T. C. TO HAVE NEW
SHED FOR INDOOR DRILL
i
A drill shed, to be used when
weather conditions do not permit
outside practice, is to be construct
ed during the summer for the R. O.
T. C., according to Sergeant Con
yers.
The structure will bo 80 by 120
feet and will accommodate one
platoon. It will have a sawdust
floor and will stand directly in back
of the barracks.
A system is to be worked out
"'hereby one platoon at a time will
meet in the shed for close order
drill during bad weather.
At present, there is not enough
room in the barracks for indoor
drill and as a consequence, much
lime is lost during the rainy sea
son. With the drill shod, there will
be no loss of time due to the
weather, and it is thought that the
local li. O. T. C. will be better able
to compete with those colleges hav
ing better facilities.

GLASS OF 99 TO HAVE
REUNION THIS SPRING
Mrs. R. S. Bryson of Eugene
in Charge of Affair
Mrs. R. S. Bryson, ’99, of Eugene,
vice-president of the alumni associa
tion, is organizing her local com
mittee, which will make plans for
the 25-year reunion of the class of
'99. The office of vice-president is
a yearly one and is always filled
by a Eugene woman, belonging to
the class holding its 25-year re
union. She is automatically in
charge of the event.
The number of members who will
attend the meeting is not known
at this time.
Space will be given in the May
“Old Oregon” for plans of this af
fair, which will be held at the same
time this spring as the 10-year re
union of the class of ’14. Harold
Young, ono of the editors of the
“Oregon Voter,” is in charge of the
latter.
A suggesttion has been made by
Mrs. Camile Carrol Bovard, per
manent secretary of the class of
’06, that her class postpone its re
union of this spring for two years
when it can hold its 20-year reunion
at the same time as the 50-year an
niversary of the founding of the
University.

POETS’ GUILD OFFERS
MAY DAY POEM PRIZE
A prize of $500, the gift of an
anonymous donor, has been put at
the disposal of the Poets’ Guild,
by the American Child Health asso
ciation for the purchase of a poem
on the subject of May Day, -which
best conveys the idea of glorious
and healthful childhood.
The Poets’ Guild is made up of
a group of poets ititerested in the
practical, as well as the artistic
values of their art, and especially
in the manner in which it can be
made useful to children. The guild
is interesting itself in the develop
ment of May Day festivals, the
spirit of which they feel to be par
ticularly akin both to poetry and
to children.
The poem selected as the most
suitable will be read at the festi
vals throughout the country on
May 1.
A committee of well known poets
and critics which will be announced
later by the Poets’ Guild, will
select the poem best fitted for the
occasion.
