Campbell Club
The Campbell Club is named after Wallace J. Campbell, an alumnus of the University of Oregon. His senior thesis entitled Depression Cooperatives inspired a group of people in 1935 to begin a co-op named after Wally Campbell. Mr. Campbell went on to found C.A.R.E. and lead the cooperative movement on a national and international level. The Campbell Club still thrives today and is a feline friendly living environment. Though house members are not necessarily vegetarian, only vegetarian food is purchased and a vegan option is always offered with dinners. The Campbell Club is located at: Lorax Manner The Lorax was founded in 1990 by a group of environmentally active students. Its name was inspired by the late, great Dr. Seuss' character the Lorax, who speaks for the trees. This is why we use the word manner instead of manor, to signify striving to live in an environmental way. Lorax cooks prepare vegan meals to the membership of up to 25 students.
