Missionary Work Ahead,
Haycox Tells Upperclasses
By Laura Olson
Speaking before the members of
the junior and senior classes yes
terday, Ernest Haycox, Oregon
alum and president of the alum
ni association, presented his ver
sion of how the students who were
nearing graduation could be of
benefit to the University of Oregon
after their graduation.
“The whole function of the alum
ni association is to defend, pre
serve, and protect this institution,”
Haycox declared, as he addressed
bis audience in the music school
auditorium. “We, the graduates
are the ones who represent the
University's interests," he added,
“and it is up to us to represent
them in whatever legitimate way
we can.”
According to Haycox, there are
many problems facing the alumni
association, now that the war is
over and it can resume its pre-war
activity. ,
“First and most important,” he
declared, “is the problem of get
ting money. Money is needed to
secure additional people who can
teach. We need new buildings and
many of the old ones have to be
repaired. There is a great need for
a Student Union building,” he de
clared, “which people were speak
ing of building before I graduated
in 1923.” Haycox spoke of the need
for more money for scholarships.
“There is,” he added, “the need for
a lot of things.”
Haycox said that the two most
important things to graduates was
getting a job and then getting mar
ried. “Both occupy a great deal of
time,” the novelist added.
After graduation, the rest of the
world seems a long way off,” Hay
cox told his audience. “What hap
pens concerning you and the alum
ni association is this: For one year
after graduation you are automat
ically a member of the association.
-When the year is up you may do
one of two things; either join
again and pay $3, or join your com
munities’ alumni association. The
University depends on these
groups, for it is they who inform
the people in the various commu
nities throughout Oregon and the
nation as to what the University
of Oregon stands for and does.”
Ernest Haycox concluded his
definition1 of what the alumni as
sociation of Oregon stands for with
this statement: “People outside of

the University don’t know a great
deal about it; it is up to the grad
uates to explain to them for what
Oregon stands. You,” he empha
sized, “are the missionaries of this
school!”
Dr. Newburn, president of the
University, who introduced Hay
cox, stated that a first-class insti
tution depends not only on the in
dividual, but on the organization.
He complemented Haycox on the
new energy and strength the alum
ni association had assumed since
Haycox had been elected president.
At the conclusion of the speech,
the senior class appointed Lois Mc
Conkey chairman of a committee
whose object would be to keep in
contact with the University. Com
mittee members are: Mary Mar
garet Ellsworth, Robert Vernon,
D. Lu Simonsen, Janet Douglas,
