F. which we publish today acta forth some of the mam facta regarding the progress of the University of Oregon gift campaign. It ia a worthy movement, well deserving of the support of every man and woman who believe« in the Univeraity of Ore gon and who favors giving the naing generation of boys and girla their maximum chance in the world through the equipment of higher education. The Univeraity of Oregon has in recent yeara been faced with a «erioua problem. Its attendance has been growing faster than have its facilities or its maintenance funds. In 191 3-1 4 there were 7 J2 students enrolled To day there are 2.369. For this year the total will reach 2500. Within the ten-year period just past the enroll ment in Oregon's high schools has almost trebled. Ien times as many high school graduates are going to higher institutions of learning as were going ten yeara ago. On the basis of all this it may he confidently predicted that at tendance at the University of Oregon will double again within the next five yeara. In 1920 the University of Oregon received from the state under the millage bills $606.497. In 1924 it will re ceive $648.820. Thus the income from the state in four years has increased 5 per cent. Attendance in that four yeara has increased 39 per cent, eight times as fast. Ob vioualy a 5 per cent it » rente in income will not take care of a 39 per cent increase in attendance. I he University muat increase its income. Oregon is tax-burdened al ready, and the University does not desire to go to the tax payers for a larger millage tax. I Irnce the gift campaign Through thia gift campaign the University hopes to raise $5,000.000 in five years. The money will be ex pended for new buildings and increased facilities. I he Univeraity alumni have undertaken to raise $1,000,000 for three principal buildings. I he current student body will finance another building, the Student-Union. Citi zens of Eugene have undertaken to raise $500,000 for a University auditorium. Thus a very substantial begin ning has been made. A little later the intensive campaign is to ramify. The whole public will be asked to ¡»rtici- pate. It is a worthy cause. Jo«." The next number on the program was trio by the Crenshaw sisters and Mary G<>ar of River View, who sang “Whispering Hope," and responded with a comic song, "I’m Sick of Be ing Bossed.” They were loudly ip- plauded.
