    Friendly Reception Awaits
Ducks at Westminster
By Don Brown
There is a spot on the Oregon
campus which as closely resembles
^ a home away-from-home as two
homelike persons can make it.
That place is Westminster house,
1414 Kincaid street. The persons
who have made it a home for stu
dents for the last 14 years are Mr.
and Mrs. J. D. Bryant, known al
ways as Aunt Alchie and Jim.
Westminster house was built in
1925 by the Westminster founda
tion of the Presbyterian church.
But that does not limit its use only
to students of the Presbyterian de
nomination. Every student at the
University of Oregon is welcome
there at any time, any day, re
gardless of religious belief.
No Living Organization
"Isn't Westminster house a liv
ing organization for girls?" one
student asked recently. When told
that it is not a girls’ dorm, he was
surprised, and when informed of
the many facilities that go to
make it a home for students, he
said he’d drop over to see what
—he could find there.
"Westminster is an open house
resembling a small student union
building, and in the absence of a
union on the campus in past years,
many students have used it as
such. Today men from all parts of
the world write letters to the
Bryants to thank them and the
Westminster foundation for hav
ing provided such a homelike place
where they could go to find re
laxation from studies. .

“On the campus”
11th and Hilyard
Westminster offers hikes, danc
es, potluck dinners, radios, pianos,
discussion groups, religious guid
ance, and other important campus
functions.
Then there is the student kit
chen, where students can cook their
meals or can bring their lunches
during the day.
For those who seek religion,
Westminster offers religious dis
cussion each Sunday morning and
evening, held by local ministers
and University laymen. Also, dur
ing the week, there are various
religious activities.
The Bryants wish to impress
upon University students that no
one need belong to any special re
ligious denomination to be eligi
ble to visit Westminster. Anyone
at any time is welcome.
On Monday nights there are
fireside sings at Westminster. Stu
dents are invited to participate in
the singing, which is from 9:30 to
10:15. The more persons who come,
the more enjoyable is tne singing.
One of the cherished memories of
former students of any college is
the memory of group singing, par
ticularly when gathered around a
fireplace.
There are discussion groups at
Westminster, in which all students
take part. Perhaps University
students do not solve many of the
problems of the world while they
attend institutions of higher edu
cation, but the training of an ac
tive mind that always seeks truth
is an important phase of learning.
,A bulletin is published bi-weekly
which any student can obtain at
Westminster house for the asking.
It tells the activities each week
and can more thoroughly give the
plan for the. week than is possible
here.
Westminster house was founded
to provide recreation with a pur
pose for all students. That pur
pose has always been to teach
youth to be good citizens of the
world by allowing them to become
better acquainted with one another
in a friendly atmosphere where
everyone is treated equally.
Jim and Aunt Alchie ask every
student to drop in at the house for
a few moments at least. It is a
place where everyone can feel at
home. If you don’t like it there,
you can leave. But, like so many
hundreds of students in past
years, you will probably stay; and
the memories of the friendly at
mosphere there will always live
with you.
