The solution of this problem E E 's difficult but possible. Enthusiasm once lost cannot be reclaimed, it must be E E regenerated. E One thing is certain, an alumnus out of touch with his Alma Mater, . E53 E ignorant of her trials and her successes, cannot be a loyal alumnus. P. U. Q Q must keep in touch with her former students and the former students must ESI E keep in touch with the school. Q E While the task is great, much has been accomplished in the last two years. Q E When the Alumni were brought face to face with the financial condition a year E E ago, they at once took up the task of underwriting the 1922-23 budget. When- E E ever the facts can be placed squarely before the Alumni they can be depended E E upon to do their share for a greater and grander Pacific. Q The students of today must resolve individually that they will let neither Q E the labors nor pleasures, the failures' nor successes, of tomorrow lessen their E E enthusiasm and loyalty or dim their sense of responsibility for their Alma Mater. 7 E -J.

Q1 E' OR several years, Pacific University has been climbing the same long Q E steep grade, that has confronted most institutions of higher education. Q E We did not make the hill in high , many things having happened E E to cause delay, such as engine troublesg then the Trustees allowed the supply Q E of gas to run low and it was not- always of the best quality, then we changed E E chauffeurs after tire troubles resulting in a blow-out in the financial campaign, E ' E but we are moving again, gradually gaining momentum and feel certain that Q E we can now safely shift back into high. The Congregational Church is fur- E Q nishing the lubricant and the town of Forest Grove is improving the roads. E E We are surely going over the top soon. The ignition system as represented by the Alumni has not been working E . . Q52 E satisfactorily, but to find the exact cause of the trouble has been a problem. E H Unquestionably the battery is weak and at times all its strength seems to have E E gone into the spot light. The result has not been altogether bad, for some E E dangers have been foreseen and avoided, but progress has been steady by E E jerks. E E The generator has been working alright, for Old P. U. has been turning Q E out, each year, scores of students, who during their intimate connection with E the institution were loyal and true, but there has been and still is, a leakage in H the storage system, for many of these same loyal students, after a few years' E E absence in professional or business life, become indifferent and lose their loyalty H E and enthusiasm and forget their indebtedness to their Alma Mater. Q One of Pacific's big problems today is to develop and maintain a storage system that the loyalty and enthusiasm generated during college days shall not E E . E be lost in later years when it is most needed. For just as an automobile quietly E yet continually generates and stores up electricity, during the day, to be 'used S E for lighting during the night, so a college must generate and store up interest, 155 sz 3 3 E Thirty-one Q agggraoooraooiaozaooooooeaozaoooozaoooooooooogggg

ADMINISTRATION BUILDING, SEASIDE Seaside Summer Session HE plans for a Pacific University Summer Session, to be conducted at Seaside, Oregon, took definite shape last fall, and this summer will see the project in actual operation. Small classes, personal Contact with instructors, and high standards of scholarship have combined to make Pacific University one of the distinguished institutions for higher education in the Northwest, and the same characteristics will be among the features of the Seaside Summer Session. The inauguration of the summer school idea, with Seaside as the location, is a notable event in Pacific's history and among the signal achievements of the present administration. The courses to be offered at Seaside will be planned with special reference to the needs of the summer student. College students who find it necessary to acquire a few extra hours to avoid a year's delay in graduation will be able to register for fully accredited work in their major subjects. Normal grad- uates will have the opportunity of earning units toward an academic degree. High school teachers will be offered an agreeable chance to broaden their scope of subjects, to fit themselves to advanced positions, ,and to enlarge their earning capacities. Those who have to do with physical education will be eligible to six weeks of intensive training in new methods under one of the best coaches in the country. Even to the recent high school graduate with an ambition to get an early start on his college career, the summer session at Seaside will offer unusual inducements. Others are expected to enroll as special students who have been long out of contact with academic circles, or who have never had college privileges, and are anxious to combine vacation recreations with cultural improvement of high order. Of interest to science is the announcement that the Seaside Summer Session will include among its plans the installation of a marine biological station T lzirty-lhfee passe seas Q Q ,Q Q Q Q Q Q I E FU P-I O in O DP W 15 -lk Q lieu Q Q I Q UQ Q Ile QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQEEEE seas W 'Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q 553 , Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q IQ seas asa?
