Large Total
Over $2,000,000 Given in
Last Tliree Year*
MUSEUM PROGRESSING
Over $2,000,000 have £een given
to the university during the last
three years, it was announced by
Karl W. Onthank, executive sec
retary of the university, last night.
This is a sum equal to more
than a third of that contributed
from state funds, while gifts to
the medical school more than equal
the entire sum contributed to it
by the state.
The last great sum of money to
come in, $50,000, was for the in
firmary fund.
The fine arts building, made
possible by the generosity of the
citizens of Eugene in contribut
ing $150,000, is going up under
the construction of the Ross B.
Hammond Co. of Portland. The
building is to be under cover be
fore severe weather sets in and
should be finished by spring, al
though the housing and arrang
ing of the collection will take at
least a year, Mr. Onthank be
lieves.
The next building which is ex
pected to go up, in two or three
years, is the Student Union build
ing', for which $250,000 has been
subscribed by the students them
selves.
“The significance of the gift
money,’’ Mr. Onthank says, “be
sides showing that the citizens of
the state are beginning to appre
ciate the university, lies in the
fact that it enables the university
to render many services to stu
dents in the way of cultural con
tact on the one hand and in re
search work for the state on the
other.
“Gifts do those things above
and beyond the basic things
which make the difference be
tween an ordinary institution and
a first rate, creditable university.”
“As for individual gifts to the
university, Mrs. Murray Warner’s
collection of Oriental art probably
surpasses that of any other,” Mr.
mrararararararararararararararararararararararai
Onthank said, "as it is valued at
about $400,000, and she has given
I with the monetary value her per
sonal services.”
I As for the new building, Mr.
j Onthank went on to say that in
j a few years it will make us known
i all over the United States. “It
| won't be the biggest of its kind,”
he remarked, "but it will be one
of the finest.”
Journalism
j Profs Baby Gets
| Front Page Start
j Prof. George S. Turnbull, ad
: Iviser of the Emerald and asso
I ciate professor in journalism,
is the father of an eight-pound
baby boy. George Daniel Turn
bull, jr., first saw the light of
the world on September 10.
Already he has a good start
in life, according to Mr. Turn
bull, because he is the first
member of the Turnbull family
to break into print on the first
page of the Oregonian imme
diately upon arrival.
While the baby has not ex
pressed his preference as to vo
cation, Mr. Turnbull believes
that he would prefer work on
a morning paper—he works at
night.

that the statue may some day be
come the symbol of the northwest 1
basic industry, lumber, and that
its replica in towering size may
be placed in some prominent place ,
as a fitting memorial for this L
spirit that is so familiar and so jj
loved by all lumbermen. Lj
Mr. Barrett, one of the younger (
artists of the west, is already
achieving fame as an interpreter j ■
of the early Oregon country days. !
At a recent exhibition in San'!
Francisco his work won warm , j
!, praise from art critics. , j
Notable western figures he has \1
made include “Sandstorm," a
statue of a cowboy and his horse
battling a storm, which stands in
the Legion of Honor palace at
San Francisco; “The Indian," a
tribute to the red man, and a
striking group depicting the last
stand of the wild horse. Among
his other works is a highly artis
tic heroic depiction of “St. George
UBlIlliniiilBimiliMlMi !■ ■ i :■ ■ ■ ■
and the Dragon."
The artist is thoroughly famil
iar with the lumber industry of
the northwest, and in his early
youth was employed in various
mills and logging camps. In
these he heard the Bunyan tales
and as soon as he became an art
ist resolved to make them one of
his themes for interpretation.
