In 1835 the church voluntarily relin
quished its claims on tho fuuds of the
agricultural college, and tho state, as

t'o this disposition of the period the

Bit all grades from the primary to

appealing that "unless an agrlcul-

building, born a quarter of a century
ngo, now lias seventeen descendants
From the four courses then taught
namely, agriculture, mechanic arts,
household science nnd general science
have developed twenty-six thorough
ly equipped departments, which offer
sclentlllc training In ns many branches
of Industry as well as an educntlon of
culture nnd refinement. Ten or twelve
years ago only a limited number of
students could take advantage of gra
tuitous Instruction nt the Oregon Agri
cultural college. These came from each
senatorial and representative district
of the stute. All others paid tuition.
Today any person may avail himself
pf the opportunities offered at the Ore
gon Agricultural collego free of charge.
From twenty-three studonts In 1807
the enrollment has grown to over 1,500
In 1910, including representatives of
eight different countries nnd several
states of tho Union.
Tho coHogo grounds, consisting of
250 acres, ore located within the west
ern limits of the city. The campus
proper, covering about forty acres, Is
beautifully decorated with magnificent
specimen trees, flower beds and groups
of shrubbery. Hroad drives and walks
traverso the grounds in every direction
nnd add to the attractiveness of the
place.
In place of tho single brick building
which housed the college In 1S83 and
which now serves ns the administrft'
tlon building there nro twenty struc
tures, many of which eclipse In every
way tho original college homo. On
oach .side of it Is a beautiful gray
slono building, one of which Is- now
called tho chemistry building nnd tho
other mechanical hall. Tho npxt row
of buildings Includes tho splendid
nome or too meeiianle aits iw pin
macy building, the gymnasium nnd the
mammoth concrete armory !"l ,'iki.i?
these buildings are Waldo hall the
women's beautiful dorniltoiy, the nov
agricultural hall, the central part of
which Is just being completed, and
Shepard hall, the student building
Then there are the mining buildings,
tho poultry buildings nnd I lie farm
buildings, forming a splendid gmnp.
During the next quarter century it
Is safe to predldt that the Institution
will do a more wonderful work than
in the past twenty-live years and that
it will become a powerful, factor In
every phase of the state's develop
ment Freed from the opposition which
often frustrated Its effoits In the past
It will take Its place In the van of the
progressive movement In Oregon.
Evidence of this fact Is not wanting
Thousands of acres of waste l:lnd are
being converted Into grain and lm
fields; great orchards are springing u
everywhere; better roads are in il
making; great stock farms, br -edi-splendid
unliuals, are establish d i
