WHY DOES LINFIELD STILL HAVE EVERSON STREET?
Linfield no longer has a street named for A. M. (Arthur Marion) Brumback, president of Linfield (then McMinnville College), 1903-1905.
Read why, in 2021, BRUMBACK STREET became LAKAMAS LANE:
Precedent was set. A street on the Linfield campus named for a Linfield president can be changed in light of what a president did during their presidential tenure.
Linfield’s EVERSON STREET is named for William Graham Everson, who was president, 1939-1943.
The name of EVERSON STREET should be changed. Why? Go to this URL

Find the “Later career” section. Read the paragraph starting with “During World War II.” It includes:
"During World War II, he was chairman of the Oregon Enemy Alien Hearing Board, which conducted hearings for non-citizen Japanese residents of Oregon who were detained as possible security risks and made determinations as to whether their detainments should continue."
Also, see a photo (the same photo) and captions which appeared in 1942 in three Oregon daily newspapers in Portland, Salem and Roseburg. The caption, or a version of it, reads:
"U.S. Attorney Carl G. Donaugh (far right) administered oath to newly-appointed Oregon Alien Enemy Hearing Board members Jan. 5, 1942, at Portland federal court house. 3rd from left: board chairman Dr. William G. Everson, Linfield college president."
