Beady Grows
Older, Fuller
By RUTH KAY COLLINS
Something new has been added—another floor to Deady
hall, this one making a grand total of seven. Graduate assist
ants for the math department and supplies for the biology de
partment will be stored on the new floor, which is between
floors two and three.
Dr. E. E. DeCou, professor of mathematics, who has had
his offices in Deady for forty
years, remembers when there
were only four stories and rooms
with 20 foot ceiling's in the oldest
building on the campus. He also
recalls the traditional day on
which the juniors would try to
tear down the sophomore flag
from the tower of Deady.
Because the battle became more
fierce each year, it was finally
abandoned and a day dedicated to
interclass games and campus im
provements took its place. It was
customary for the engineers to
lay down a section of sidewalk
from Deady to Kincaid street and'
names of the classes who partici
pated in this tradition can be seen
on the cement today. That day
was known as Junior Weekend.
Produce
Deady, which is modeled after
one of the famous French build
ing,'- of that pet iod, was built not
only by money but by corn, hogs,
eggs, wheat, and other produce.
In order for Eugene to have the
University it was required that
they provide the land and raise
a building worth $50,000 on it.
To obtain such a large sum in
suck a small community as Eu
gene was at that time it was dif
fic< !.t; therefore, the farmers
pledged not only their money but
also their produce which Thomas
Hendricks, founder of the First
National bank in Eugene and one
of (lie founders of tHe University
soli
Enough money was procured to
construct the building but not
enough to pay the workmen. Hen
ry Villard, founder of the North
ern Pacific railroad and for whom
Villard is named, telegraphed the
amount needed to pay the labor
cost and saving the building from
being sold to pay its bills. Mr.
Villard gave other gifts to the
University for the science labor
atory and the library as well as
aiding the initial campaign to
build Deady.
Sole Building'
Deady served not only as the
sole building for University in
struction but also held high school
and for a time grade school class
es. The Dean of Women forbade
women students from climbing to
the third story because of the
steep stairway.
The entire upper floor was used
for assemblies in after years,
when Deady became a science
building, the waste space was
utilized by remodeling the build
ing. The spiral stairs were taken
out and the present ones put in;
on each landing offices were
built and mezzanines put in the
biology department.
Thetas Pledge One
Terry Watson, of Honolulu.
Hawaii, pledged Kappa Alpha
Theta, according to reports from
the office of the dean of women.

He stated that he was not try
