Hoover Letters
In UO Magazine
Five previously unpublished
letters, written by the late Presi
dent Herbert C. Hoover, appear
in the spring issue of Call Num
ber, semi-annual publication of
the University Library.
The letters, written to Nell
May Hill of Independence, Ore.,
are part of a collection of the
Henry Hill letters at the Uni
versity Library.
The first three of the letters
were written while Hoover was a
student at Stanford University,
the last two during the summer
after he graduated.
In the last of the letters pre
sumed to have been written in
1895. young Hoover writes of the
possibility of a position on the
faculty of the University, noting
that ’‘Although I should very
much like to have it, I have no
influence with Oregon politicians
and hardly see how I could get
it otherwise.”
