Statue Typifying Pioneer of West ts Gift of Joseph N. Teal to University A statue “typifying the real pioneer of Ihe west” will be unveiled on the Uni versity of Oregon campus within the next two years. It will be the gift of Jo seph N. eal, of Portland, who has com missioned A. I’himister Proctor, the dis tinguished eastern sculptor, to model the memorial. “It has long been my desire to express my admiration and respect for the Ore pon pioneer,” says Mr. Teal in his letter to Judge R. S. Bean, chairman of the board of regents. “The pioneer repre sents all that is noblest and best in our history. The men and women who saved the west for this country were animated by the highest motives. Their courage, foresight, endurance and industry sould eveT be an inspiration to the youth of the country. “I therefore propose to erect a me morial, which, it seems to me, should Hand on the campus of our great insti tution of learning, the University of Oregon, where for years to come the ris ing generation will have before them a [leininder of those to whom they owe every opporunity they enjoy. “It is my sincere desire and hope that, I as the genius of St. Gaudens has typi fied in imperishable bronze the Puritan, ihe genius of Proctor will in like de gree typify the pioneer. Should my plan meet with the approval of the board of regents of the University, I would re quest that at the proper time and in con currence with Mr. Proctor a place be cu signated on the University grounds upon which the monument may be erected.” Judge Bean, on behalf of the regents and faculty this week wrote Mr. Teal that his desires would gladly be com plied with. In his letter he commented on the peculiar appropriateness of this gift coming from the son of a pioneer, and a man who has done so much to fur ther the public interest in his state. “It was a sincere and deep feeling for the pioneers nnd for the University that prompted this entirely unsolicited gift of Send The Emerald TO Your Friends at Home Fifty Cents a Semester Subscribe Now Mr. Teal's, ns I well know from long and close association with him.-’ A. C. Dixon, of the executive committee of the regents. “In a historic way it couples the name of Mr. Teal with those of Henry Villard, the builder of the North ern Pacific, and Judge Matthew P. Deady, first president of the regents. It draws attention to the opportunity and the necessity that public men should have t heart the interests of their public in stitution of learning.” The time of the presentation of the All-Oregon historical pagent on the University campus at commencement time may possibly be chosen as the time for dedicating to the purpose the site of the monument. The Pageant itself will be in the nature of an interpretation of the spirit of the Oregon pioneer. A. Phimister Proctor, the sculptor chosen by Mr. Teal, is a recognized lead er among American artists in the fields of animal life nnd Indian studies. Among his American works are t,he tigers at the entrance to Princeton University. nus huct TO VISIT UNIVERSITY Charles Harris Whitaker to Be Guest of Architectural Club Feb. 25.
