"Bernard Mainwarlng'- sudden
death was a shock to all of us
and a great loss to the state of j
Oregon and to education through
out the Northwest." said Presi
! dent O. Meredith Wilson. "As a
member of the State Board of

a vigorous, courageous, and
, thoughtful servant of the state
' and of this University. Our hearts
go out in sympathy to his wife
and family. We would like more
! particularly to express our feel

Charles T. Duncan, dean of the
school of journalism issued the .
following statement:
"Bernard Mainwaring's death |
is a grievous loss to Oregon jour
nalism. Among his Ynany fine
qualities were two that are es- j
pecially valuable in an editor
courage ar.d forthright honesty. ,
An editor with these attributes
will not please everyone, but even
those who disagreed with Mr.
Mainwaring’s views admired his |
candor and respected his in
tegrity. As chairman of the 19f>7
Oregon Press Conference, he had
worked diligently, up to the day
of his illness, to help us fashion
a high-calibre program. At this
and future meetings fellow editor
publishers, he will be sorely
missed.
“Mr. Mainwaring's death came
only a day after the passing of
another prominent Oregon news
paperman, Jack B. Bladine of
McMinnville. Both men were
loyal friends of the University
and the School of Journalism.”
