Q03 T-HE OILEGAILI-'A IQIIQETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY THREE Association Keeps Alumni I In Touch With Campus The University of Oregon Alumni Association has been marked by a steady growth the last few years. Almost 12,000 alumni and former students are listed among the files in the alumni office. All the data in- cluding the recording of deaths, births, marriages, occupations and other statistics are filed in the office. The present officers of the Alumni Association are: Homer D. Angell, '00, president, joe Freck, jr., '31, vice-president, Donald Woodward, '27, director, , Georgia Benson Patterson, '24, director, Henryetta l Lawrence, ,24, director, and Robert K. Allen, '32, sec- HOMER ANGELL tetary-treasurer. This year the main activity of the association was the campaign against the Zorn-Mac- pherson school moving bill which was overwhelmingly defeated in the election in November. The regular duties of the association is to follow the movements of each student who leaves the campus and to keep him in contact with the University and college affairs. Hundreds leave each year, so the job is a big one. Our alumni association has in the past been a strong and vigorous organization with excellent leadership, says Bob Allen, alumni secretary. Its members have manifested a desire that a strong organization be maintained, as have the people of the state expressed their faith in the University, and desire to see it continued and improved. This can and will be done. OLD OREGON, which was again printed in March, is the official publication of the alumni. For a while the magazine was substituted with the Saturday issue of the Emerald which con- tained any alumni news that would be of interest to former students. OLD OREGON serves as a means of communication with the classmates of former years and is filled with stories about alumni, students attending the University at the present time and campus events. Homecoming week-end during fall term is an activity planned for the alumni of the Uni- versity. At this time many graduates return to their school to meet old friends and to live again the days they all experienced. The Homecoming dance is held, usually in McArthur court, luncheons are given, the Oregon-Oregon State football game is played, this year at Corvallis, Homecoming signs are constructed to welcome back returning graduates, and everything is done by the students to show their enthusiasm for University of Oregon alumni. University alumni are scattered far and wide but several cities are centers for the ex-stu- dents. In New York annual dinners are held for the alumni, this year at Town Hall club with over fifty present. San Francisco is another mecca for alums. Over 500 graduates and former students live in or around the Bay City. So it is in almost every large city-University alumni are found every where. And the Association keeps in touch with everyone, tabulating all vital statistics concerning them. L!tf1I7kJ 21
