E. H.S. Winner in Track Meet Valley Championship Goes to Locals The track and field team of Eu gene high school, coached by Spike Leslie, annexed the Willamette val ley championships yesterday in the competition on Hayward field by a score -of 66 points., . Corvallis was second with 48, Independence third with 22, and Marshfield fourth with 11. J. Shevthe, of Eugene high school was easily the star of the meet, winning the cup for high point man with 18*4 counts to his credit. Blasier of the Independence team was second with 14 points. J. Sheytiie made his points by tak ing a first in the broad jump, a first in the high jump, a second in the shot, a third in the 220, a third in the discus and running in the winning relay team. Eugene’s relay team, by winning this last event, acquired a cup donated by Eugene’s merchants; also they were presented with another for winning the meet. This kept all three of the donated cups in the home town. Virgil Earl was referee; Clyde Johnston, starter. Gift Campaign Drives Cover Entire Nation s 1 (Continued from page one) their interest can just as easily be aroused to meet any legitimate need. Georgia, for example, raised its fund of more than a million dollars for such prosaic objectives ns a physics building, an animal husbandry building, a student union, a veterinary science build ing, and endowment to pay profes sorial salaries. It is all a matter of presenting a real need, of call ing upon those interested to help, and showing the ultimate value of the effort. Small Gifts Made State universities are receiving a constantly increasing number of small gifts, objects of art, books for libraries, scholarships, loan funds, laboratory equipment, re search and lecture funds—all the incidentals that colleges need, but often must forego because their funds must be spent first for the bare necessities of education— salaries and running expenses. The University of Maryland reports a legion of small gifts to the Uni versity hospital, amounting to about ten thousand a year. The University of Illinois reports tree planting funds of $2,000. Califor nia reports thousands of gifts to further research; Kentucky reports numerous small gifts to student loan funds totalling $12,000. Kan sas has secured valuable collec tions in the fine arts. Here at the University of Oregon we have re ceived very valuable art collec tions—probably the finest collec tion of Chinese art in the country, a wonderful collection of Indian material, many paintings and other objects of art—so many that we have not been able to house them suitably as yet. Public Campaisn Helpful A public campaign for funds conducted by a state university does not help that university alone; it helps the whole cause of educa tion and every privately endowed college and university in the same territory will feel the beneficial effects of the campaign. The re quest for funds requires that the need be explained, that every donor and prospective donor be thoroughly informed as to the work being carried on by the university ns one representative in the field of higher education. Through widespread education of the public as to the aims, the accomplish ments, and the needs for a single university, interest in the wmrk for all universities and colleges is strengthened arid the way is paved for gifts, not only to the institu tion making the plea, but to others. Every university campaign for funds helps the whole cause of higher education. Origin of Flower and Fern Procession (Continued from page one) beauty of the oecnsion, the lack of student interest. Nearly nil of the students, except those who are to graduate, leave town before the ceremonies, perhaps not realizing that they are missing something worth while. This year the ceremonies will have a special significance, for Dr. Carson will be back to witness them. The dean left the Univer sity in 1909 after having served it for about twenty years. She served as president of Mills col lege and was also connected with some eastern colleges for several years. She is now living in Los Angeles and is going to visit the Univer sity at the invitation of the class of 1S95. A fitting reception is be ing planned for her and she and A Campus of 25 Acres— the University of the Past “The University of Oregon was founded and located at Eugene in 1872 by an act of the legislature. In 1876 students, both men and women, were received for regular instruction. In 1884 the school of law was established at Portland, and in 1887 the school of medicine was also established at Portland.” The foregoing excerpt from the Morning Oregonian of January 1, 1900, gives a brief history of the origin of the University—the first steps in the life of our institution. It was then in its infancy, going through the early stages of devel opment, as in a human life. Slowly it grew, acquiring new departments and buildings, overcoming obsta cles, replacing burned structures. Now, 52 years after its foundation, through the Gift Campaign, itr will soon launch out into the world in full manhood and rank with the other universities of the nation, not only in scope of educational features and buildings, but in bril liancy of faculty and fame of alumni. The Oregonian article, which jpas a complete resume, presents the University as it was then, and it is interesting to note the various improvements and changes made in the campus since the year 1900. At that time, the campus covered an extent of 25 acres, taking in the space between Eleventh avenue and the graveyard, including the site of the men’s gymnasium. Now the total acreage is approximately 100, and this will probably be in creased before many years have gone by. Of the ancient structures which were on the grounds at that early date, the majority are still in use and possibly will be for decades to come. Deady hall was the first to be erected and was named in mem ory of Judge M. P. Deady, who was president of the board of re gents from the time of its organi zation until his death in 1893. Deady hall was followed by Vil lard, named in honor of Ilenry Vil lard, who created half the first $100,000 endowment fund with a gift of $50,000. The men’s gymna sium was built soon after Villard, but was since burned. Friendly hall was built at the same time as the gymnasium and was originally intended to accommodate 90 stu dents. The occupants paid $2.50 a week, which included board and room, being about half the amount required at the present time. Mc Clure hall was in the process of completion in 1900, and was to house the chemistry and mines de partments. The building cost was about $16,000. The library, or what there was of it then, was spread over the whole campus, in the several buildings and in the lecture rooms. The general reading room, however, was in Collier hall, the name given to what is now the* president’s residence. Then, the president oc cupied but a part of the building and the rest was given to the use of the student library, which con tained about 8,000 volumes, includ ing those in the various depart ments. Now the volumes have in creased to about 133,000 and more are being added from day to day. Four of the professors who lec tured to the students in the old days have remained with the Uni versity faculty—three have been made deans and the fourth is head of the department, although not a dean. They are Dean John Straub, then professor of Greek; Dean E. H. McAllister, professor of applied mathematics; Dean R. G. Young, was professor of economics and history; F. S. Dunn, professor of Latin. Athletics in the old days was one of the important features in col lege life and the accomplishments of the boys, although selected from a limited group, were out standing. The Oregon teams showed skill and courage and laic the foundation for Oregon’s tradi tional fight. The scores piled u* in the football games in favor ol the University have not been equal led since, and now it would b( practically impossible to create such a successful margin. Oregor | far outshone other state universi ties in athletics, and since inter I state competition was not yet in j stituted, their relation to outside colleges could not be determined. The following paragraph is ai: excerpt from the athletic record oi 1899. Track athletics—U. of O. 50 points; O. A. C, 18; Pacific col lege, 18; Willamette university 17%; Oregon State Normal, 5%; Pacific university, 3 Football, 1898—U. of O., 34; Chiinewa Indians, 0; U. of O. 95 Portland university 0; U. of O.* 0 Multnomah Athletic club 21; U. ot O. 38, O.

Even now the alumni are occupying some oi the most, important positions ii: Oregon and in all parts of the nation. A great day it, was when the newly-formed board of regents made known their policy in re gard to the University. Part oi it. was given in the old issue oi the Oregonian. “ .... and, lastly, it is intend ed to develop at the University oi Oregon a personality founded on ; true democracy of learning tbai shall be as unique and as powerfu as the personality of Yale, or Har vard or Berkeley. ” tlie class of ’95 will lead the Fern and Flower procession. Dear memories will be recalled to mind when ’95 and ’24 meet. The graduates will be impressed with the solemnity of the present cere mony and will be thinking back of the days with alma mater, but the others will no doubt glide back on the sea of memories to the days of “F. F. F.” and the first moon light procession around old ivied Villard. French College Life Colorful Education (Continued from page one) breakfast. Six hours of classes are followed by three more of study. College girls cannot go out on the streets alone or with a man. They go in groups. There are sports which can be enjoyed at the schools, tennis, volley ball, cro quet, and hiking. Walks are taken through the picturesque woods, past old castles with their old walls speaking the very language of antiquity and romance. There are old campus buildings to house the 100 or so students, and ancient libraries with their atmosphere of learning. In the spring a fete is held, at which time the seniors give a play, the alumnae return, and a dance for the students and faculty mem bcrs added to the festivities. Music and reading, the simpler pleasures gives the French student’s life ai idyllic eliarm. Odd Jobs—Student Labor and Learning (Continued from page one) having plenty of fuel always 01 hand, and other incidentals.

Downtown, there is hardly an es tablishment that does not employ one or more students on part time and Saturdays. Work done by these men and women includes everything from “squirting” soda in the lunch counters of pool rooms to taking other people's money and adding huge columns of figures in the various banks. Probably the most envied class | of students who earn their own |money are the musicians, who “get [paid for playing,” and others w-ho ; sing in church choirs, thus combin j ing business with pleasure. Another ‘class of specially favored ones are i the journalists, several of whom | represent papers as University cor i respondent. Three Portland papers i and as many local ones maintain l such special correspondents, and i" one enterprising woman journalist works as reporter on the Spring field paper in her spare time. The height . of ambition is per sonified by the men who get up in the wee small hours to deliver the ' Oregon Daily Emerald to the door- - ' step of the campus. Another am bitious young man is he who i sometime between midnight and 16 o’clock in the morning performs the janitor work on a suite of of I fives downtown. | Besides all these things, there are I numerous odd jobs, secured usually I through the Y. M. C. A. employ ment bureau, which serve as a timely help to the hard-pressed student, enabling him to take in the dances over the weekend, or perhaps even pay the last week’s | laundry bill.
