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.

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

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:

1899. Track athletics—U. of O.

lege, 18; Willamette university

The University of Oregon has
accomplished its purpose, in the
opinion of the majority, and will
continue to grow and make its in
fluenee felt throughout the United
States in after years. 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. ”

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

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

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
