'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.
