Guest at Meeting Forty women from La Grande and surrounding towns heard Mrs. Flor ence' Payne Johnson, state president of the American Association of Uni versity Women? speak at a banquet held by the local group last evening at the La Grande hotel. Mrs. Johnson has her headquarters In Portland and this Is her first visit to Eastern Oro (ron, after which she plans to go to Boston to attend the International convention, celebrating the 80th year since the founding of- the A. A. U. W. in America-. The local association was founded little more than a year ago and Mrs. Johnson is well pleased with the In crease In membership and the forma tion of three study groups, literature, international relations and education. Fifty years ago . Mrs. Johnson added, education for women was unpopular and a graduate of a college was os tracized as a social misfit. Only 13 colleges and universities opened thair doors to women, and it was at that time that a group of 17 university graduates banded together In Boston to promote education among women. At present there are over 600 branches throughout the United States. Fifty European women will be guests at the convention to be held in Boston, brought to this country for study by the Carnegie institute. Mrs. Johnson feels that this honor bestowed on the A. A. U. W. by such an organization as the Carnegie Foun dation la a tribute to the greatness of the educational work which univer sity women have set out to do.
