State President.
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.
"The Opera," a play in one act,
portraying a group of society women
at a performance of "Madame But
terfly," was presented by the litera
ture group who hod charge of the
program under the direction of Miss
EdUh Darby and Miss Catherine Sar
