msnr Mrs of '76 ARE RECOUNTED BT REV. C. M. HILL Board Walk Skirmish Between Classes Was Then Only Ath letic Contest at Oregon. Annual “Pledge Day” Occasions Return of Drs. Hill and Woody to Campus. Rev. C. M. Hill and Rev. C. A. Wooddy were present at the pledge day exercises. Both of these men Delong to the graduating class of 1881. At that time the student body numbered 125 and there was but one building on the campus. Dr. Wooddy and I entered the Uni versity in 1876. The reason that we were so long getting through was ■due to the fact that both of us work ed our way,” said Mr. Hill. “Our class was the fourth to be graduated from the state institution. “There were no athletics in our day. The only contest that I re member was when one class would meet another coming in opposite di rections on the old board walk, and there would result a skirmish to see which class would stay on. “I helped to break in Dean Strauib, when lie came from Pennsylvania to teach Latin and Greek. “Some of the teachers at that time were Professor Mark Bailey, who taught mathematics; Professor Con don, geology and history, and John W. Johnson, the first president of the University, who taught Latin and Greek. Dr. Johnson was very strict^ C/ne had to have a perfect lesson to get a passing grade from him. “At that time there was a prepara tory department, under the direction of Miss Mary Spiller, after whom your fine girls’ dormitory is named. “The Laurean society was founded in my class days, in the old school house. Dr. Wooddy and I are both charter members of this society. It met once a week and settled every question of any importance. Religion was a great topic at that time, and I well remember the debates that we had on many phases of religion. Mr. Wooddy and I express regret at find ing the Laurean debating society is not so active as previously. It held a big place in the hearts of the students in thoe days and we would like to see the old feeling revived. “Emery Burke and I pioneered the practice of trips to the top of Spen cer’s butte. It all started with a bet among the fellows that no one would have the nerve to go up on the very top of the butte and stay all night. Well, one night in the late fall, Emery Burke and I went up and we won the challenge. We slept on the top of the big peak. In the morning when we woke up there was blanket of fog all around us, so that we couldn’t see the surrounding country. We burned some brush and cooked our breakfast. We didn’t meet any cougars, as we have heard other University students have in recent years but as we came down the hill that morning we met a flock of wild goats, on their way to the top points of the butte, for the young grass and herbs for their breakfast.” Mr. Wooddy is at present superin tendent of the Baptist home missions on the Pacific coast. Mr. Hill was pastor of the Eugene Baptist church for six years and also held a charge in the Tenth Avenue Baptist church at Oakland.
