Scribe Gains Entrance
To Campbell Memorial
By Hans Wold
Many students have admired, but
few have gained permission to pass
through the aristically-designed
steel gates which guard the en
trance to the Campbell memorial
court located in the Univeristy art
1 museum.
Lack of sufficient visitors cur
tailed visiting hours and closed the
meihorial court several years ago.
This picturesque cloister is dedi
cated to the memory of the late
Prince L. Campbell, for 22 years
president of the Univeristy until
his death in 1925.
Life, Character Portrayal
Designed by the late Dean E. F.
Lawrence of the architecture and
allied arts school, the court is de
voted to the portrayal of the life
and character of President Camp
bell.
Appropriately, much of the artis
tic interior was done by friends
and pupils of the noted art lover.
Occupying the open central court
is a green tiled reflecting pool,
surrounded by gracefully arched
corridors. Supporting the corridor
roofs are limestone columns with
■ . skillfully ornamented capitals
[ carved by S. J. Patton depicting
small bird and animal life native
to Oregon. University students as
sisted Professor Richard W. Bock
in^modeling and casting the capi
tals.
Seven Panels
Mounted on the interior walls
are a series of seven panels execut
I
ed in relief sculpture by Professor
Bock, former head of the sculpture
department. Each panel symbolizes
an attribute of character which
was typical of the late president.
A pedestal at the far end of the
pool supports a lifesize bronze bust
of President Campbell. The bust
was done by A. Phimister Proctor
in memory of his lifelong friend
ship with the president. The marble
pedestal and steps were contributed
by the class of ’28.
Floodlights et al
Above the pedestal is a dome
constructed of gold glass mosaic
which sheds a warm glow over
the immediate interior. At night
light from four ornamental flood
lamps illuminates the bust, pro
ducing a scene of dramatic beauty,
However, the lights rarely go on
now since the museum is no longer
open at night.
Byzantine Additions
One of the central attractions
is a unique fountain, flanked on
either side by Byzantine style
lunettes, or nymphs, playing their
traditional flutes. These were
modeled by Oliver L. Barret, for
mer University art instructor.
The fountain empties into a shell
like basin which in turn overflows
in miniature cascades into the cen
tral pool.
Engraved in marble on the far
wall of the corridor is a quotation
by President Campbell which sets
forth his philosophy concerning the
social progression of humanity.
Eve. Legend has it that on this
night, a magic woods appears and
all those who enter it are trans
formed. The old man’s plan to lure
them into the fantasy forest is
successful and all but one of the
guests are caught in its spell.
Cliff James as Mr. Dearth, a has
been artist seeking refuge from a
life of failure and disappointment
by drinking, portrays his charac
terization exteremely well. Mari
