Memorial Park To Be Planted At University Complete Plans of Work Will Be Presented by George Otten President Campbell First To Conceive Idea The first step in a comprehen sive plan for the beautification of the University of Oregon is now being undertaken with the prepara tion of the ground on the northwest corner of the campus for the plant ing of a memorial park. President and Mrs. P. L. Campbell first con ceived the idea of an arboretum, and after President Campbell’s death, on the suggestion of Profes sor E. E. DeCou, head of the de partment of mathmetics, the idea was carried over into a memorial park commemorative of his life long love of the beauty of the out doors. President and Mrs. Campbell first breached the idea of beautifying the campus during the city tree planting campaign of three years ag° by the Eugene Federation of Women’s clubs, under the direction of Professor DeCou. President Campbell, a graduate of Harvard, had seen near the campus there a special planting of trees and shrubs called an Arboretum, and he pro posed to provide something similar here. Shortly before the president’s death, Mrs. Campbell announced that she and her friends would be glad to give many trees and shrubs for such a park. The northwest corner of the cam pus, west of the drive that is to lead south from the proposed mem orial gateway on Eleventh avenue, and north of the present walk run ning from Deady hall to Twelfth avenue, was finally selected as the site for the park. The choice was made after Professor DeCou had talked the matter over with a num ber of persons interested in such a development,' in eluding W. B. Wil cox, professor architecture, and El lis F. Lawrence, dean of the school of architecture. George Otten, ’ll, who majored in mathematics and specialized in landscape engineering tVhile in the University, later taking graduate work at Columbia university, was the man selected to do the work. He is one of the bpst known land scape engineers and architects ih the northwest, and is now practic ing that profession''- in Portland. During his senior year here he made plans for the beautification of the hill east of the University on which are built the Campbell Church, Washburn, Jewett, and McMorran homes, later returning to superintend the landscaping of these places. Mr. Otten was consulted, and he Cold Shoulder Given Hard Cash at Depot A PURSE without an owner is an unusual thing, so there must be someone on the campus who owns the purse which was turned into the lost and found de partment at the University depot the first week of school. Since the purse contained a ring and money of no mean amount the suggestion is if the owner is a little short of change she had bet ter rush down, name the amount and procure the purse. It is a question how some stu dents keep from getting drench ed by this Eugene rain with about eight umbrellas of various colors reposing at the depot. Why not see if the one you left in the Campa Shoppe last week is there? No wonder several students have to borrow fountain pens and ever-sharps from the kind soul who sits next to them in class with so many of these articles off duty at the department. .agreed to donate a complete plan for the landscaping of the Univer sity grounds and a detailed plan for the park. After more than two months work the completed plans were presented for approval to the University Building committee con sisting of Fred Fisk, Mrs. Irene Gerlinger, and Colonel W. S. Gil bert. The plans were accepted with thanks by the Board of Regents, and a small appropriation was made to enable the Building committee to start the work. The work of preparing the ground for planting was started late last spring, and plowing and harrowing has gone on intermittently since then. Planting may be postponed until next spring, according to Professor DeCou. It is hoped that as time and funds permit the beauty of the present f^mpus may be merged into a uni ied whole, and following Mr. Of ten ’s plans, may become one of #the notable beauty spots of the state.
