AlumGift Funds
Add Equipment
Started last spring term, the
Oregon alumni gift fund has
raised $1395 to be used for sup
plying the science departments
with needed equipment, Dr. H. B.
Yocom, head of the zoology de
partment, said today.
The money is being kept in the
bank and may be drawn on at
any time, said Dr. Yocom. How
ever, he explained, before any
equipment may be installed, the
science departments must get
priorities from the government.
Any item containing rubber or
metal is at a premium and may
be used only in courses training
^)en and women for war work.
Aid From Money
All science departments will
benefit from the fund, which will
be allocatel to the various de
partments. Dr. Morris, Dr. A. F.
Moursund ,and Dr. Yocom, all of
the science ctepartment, have
taken charge of the fund and its
activities.
When the priorities on metal
have been lifted, Yocom said, each
item bought through the fund
will be set with a brass plate in
recognition of the alumni who do
nated during the summer.
Equipment Needed
The science fund idea started
last spring when Dr. A. E. Cas
well, now in research work at
the Michigan Institute of Tech
nology, contracted to buy some
electrical equipment from Pro
sor O’Day of Reed college. The
department of physics did not
have enough money, Yocom ex
plained, so raised it from contri
butions of friends and interested
people in Eugene. It was then,
he said, the idea hatched that
alumni would be interested in
getting more needed equipment.
Harris Ellsworth, president of
the Alumni association, sent let
ters to members who pledged the
$1395 now collected at the bank.
It will probably be used for new
microscopes, special miscro
scopes, and electrical equipment.

On Library
The development and progress
of the University library over a.
period of 60 years is recorded in
a historical sketch entitled '“The
University of Oregon Library,”
compiled by Henry D. Sheldon,
research professor of history and
education.
Beginning with the founding
of the library in 1$S2 with money
donated by Henry Villard, presi
dent of the Northern Far jfic
railroad, the booklet relates the
story of the first library housed
in a room in Deady hall, then
the University's only building.
In 1907 the growing collection
of books was moved into a new
$25,000 building, and later a
$30,000 fireproof addition was
constructed. After World War I
the need for a now building be
came urgent, and the present
structure, designed in modified
Romanesque style, was dedicated
jn October, 1937. The library .now
contains 333,000 volumes.
The library staff presented a
specially bound copy of the Shel
don book to Matthew Hale Doug
lass, who retired as librarian
emeritus in August after 34
years’ service.
Comedian Bob Burns studied
civil engineering at the Univer
sity of Arkansas.
An information center has been
established at University cf Ken
tucky.
