Over Two Million Donated for University of Oregon Campus Donations to Oregon Make 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.
