Graduation in Early
Campus History
University of Oregon co-eds of
1902 were not allowed to take any
courses that were held in the upper
stories of Deady hall because the
dean of women thought that the
high climb was injurious to deli
cate feminine constitutions, to say
nothing of long trailing skirts. Such
is an aneedote often told by “Old
Timers,” and repeated by Professor
Albert R. Sweetser, head of the bot
any department, when asked to
compare the students of today with
those of former times.
A slide of Deady taken in 1876
was brought from the office by the
instructor. Amid energetic pacing
back and forth in the room,' he occa
sionally stopped to add an interest
ing thought to his story. In the pic
ture the hall stands isolated except
for a few clumps of wild bushes
and vines and a large pile of wood
against which a few students are
leaning. No protecting vines em
braced its walls at that tiimie.
On the front step a group of
primly correct men wearing stiff
hats and black suits pose with
women dressed in long skirts, tight
waists and graceful curves.
When Professor Sweetser came
here from Pacific University where
he taught biology, Dr. John Bovard,
new head of the school of physical
education, was his only assistant.
The department was finally divided
into two departments, biology and
botany.
Villard and Friendly halls and a
small building used as the girls’
gymnasium were the only buildings
on the campus except Deady. Be
tween Deady and the place where
McClure hall now is, the ground was
rough and wild flowers were abun
dant. It was here that the tennis
court was first located.
The Condon oaks on 11th street
are the only native trees on the
campus, the others having been
planted since 1886. In 1902 all of
these were mere saplings over which
Mr. Sweetser could easily see ev
erything that happened out on Kin
caid field, where most of the sports
took place, by looking out of his
class room windows.
Commencement was one of the
biggest events of the year for the
people of Eugene and the surround
ing country. Some came miles in
their hacks and buggies to attend.
A long white fence bordering the
campus on Kincaid street was used
as a hitching place for the steeds.
The “program” was held in Vil
lard.
“There were no dwelling houses
in Fairmount at that time. We
used that district as our botanizing
ground. There were no streets of
any sort. When I moved out there
all my friends thought I was crazy
for moving out into the country,”
the botanist smiled.
In the good old days when his
largest class was 25 students and
the favorite indoor sport was slid
ing down the winding stairs in old
Deady, Professor Sweetser knew
(most of the boys and girls, but now
he does well to remember having
seen some of his pupils somewhere
when he meets them, he said.

Sophomore, Freshman
First Teams Win Games
The two women’s baseball games
were materially slowed up last night
due to the fact that one Jupiter
persisted that they be staged in
doors.
The sophomore first aggregation
walked away with the freshman,
second ten to the tune of 51 to 1.
The first and third freshman
teams went into action last night
for the first time this season and
helped pile up a 28 to 2 score
against the third teamers.
The only game scheduled for to
night is the senior first vs. junior
first, and promises to be a good
battle as practically both teams
have worked together in previous
years.

Student Volunteer
Leader Gives Recipe
For World Democracy
“What God is looking for is men |
and women who are willing to pay
the price, to trust in prayer; and
I believe he is going to find the
answer to his search in the college
students of today,” said Robert W.
Wilder, founder and present gen
eral secretary of the Student Vol
unteer movement, at a dinner held
in his honor at six o’clock Tuesday
evening in the Congregational
church.
“We were speaking a short time
ago about making the world safe
for democracy, but it seems as
though we Were mistaken,” the
speaker continued. He does, how
ever, believe that such is possible,
and advocated three steps to that
end: first comes world-wide educa
tion; second is the right kind of
economic development.
The third step advocated ,by Hr.
Wilder is the organization of the
right kind of world court or league
of nations. The speaker declared
that the outlook for peace in Eu
rope today is rather dark, and pre
dicted no results unless a solution
to present problems is found.
Dr. Wilder traced the origin of
the Student Youth Movement from
its inception by five Princeton stu
dents, of which he was one; through
its rapid growth in American and
European colleges, in which he had
