Words of Wisdom for Class of '78
In 1878 word came from General
Miles’ post at Fort Keogh that Sit
ting Bull was at Frenchman’s
Creek and that more than 1,000
Indians were seen within ten miles
of Fort Peck . . . dispatches from
Vienna said Russia had taken the
fate of Roumania, Servia, and
Montengro into her own hands . . .
the whole district of Bourgos was
devastated by Bashi and Circas
sians, who slaughtered the inhabi
tants and burned the villages . . .
an assessment of $2 per share was
levied on bullion . . . the steamer
Cornet was sunk in the Duwamish
river, near Seattle . . . 18,000
Chinamen were employed in San
Francisco and annually produced
articles worth $17,500,000 . . .
Senator Pendleton’s platform was
repeal of the resumption act and
remonetization of silver wtih free
coinage . . . the news from Eng
land was more warlike . . . Russia
continued to press forward and
was near Gallipoli, the key to the
Dardenelles . . .and on Friday af
ternoon, June 21, 1878, the first
graduating class at the University
of Oregon assembled and planted a
tree, an English laurel.
And that evening Matthew P.
Deady, president of the regents,
presented the members of the
graduating class with their diplo
mas and then gave a commence
ment address.
“. . . neither learning nor abil
ity will so surely or readily secure
to you the good will and esteem of
mankind as good manner . . . what
learning and ability can excuse
slovenly dress, unblackened shoes,
dirty linen, or fingernails in deep
and habitual mourning? . . . how
often the power and usefulness of
a person of marked ability or at
tainments is diminished or de
stroyed by some disgusting habit
or filthy practice?
“. . . labor, however irksome or
unremunerative, is honorable com
pared with idleness. Labor pro
duces. Idleness only consumes. The
existence and progress of the race
depends upon labor, while idleness
is a consuming moth forever fret
ting away the garment and fabric
of society . . . cleanliness and neat
ness make labor attractive, while
filth and slovenliness tend to the
contrary and thereby debase it . . .
those who labor will always be es
teemed and treated according to
their manners.
“A certain social bluntness is a
marked feature of American man
ners . . . the cause of this is not far
to seek ... a democracy being
founded on political equality, many
of the members of such a society
are easily led to think this includes
social equality as well. Although
from the nature of things, social
equality is impossible and probably
not desirable, yet this disposition
toward it begets a mannner which
says: ‘I am as good as you.’ This
sort of feeling and action tends to
check and prevent the habit and
growth of politeness.
“. . . the essence of politeness is
the preference of others to our
selves in non-essentials, self-denial
in little things. Without good man
ners the scholar is a mere pedant,
the wit degenerates into a buffoon,
and courage appears as brutality
. . . politeness to others is always
a denial of self, and self-denial is
the distinguishing mark between
savagery and civilization. . . .
“A class of youngmen and wom
en are about to graduate from the
University of the State; and you,
my young friends, are the first
fruits of this tree of learning . . .
we trust you are the beginning of
a long line and ever widening line
of useful and distinguished men
and women, who shall go forth
year by year from this place to en
gage in the duties of life, doing
good service to the country and
honor to their Alma Mater. Keep
your banners unfurled and on high,
and lead the well meaning but
fickle and short-sighter multitude

The tremendous damage done to America's
range land by fire is a tragedy that
affects EVERYONE. Look ...
t
Each year range fires destroy
millions of acres of land bearing
essential grain and livestock feed!
They bum homes, farms, farm
equipment — sometimes entire
communities!
They kill thousands of cows,
horses, sheep, and an inestima
ble amount of wildlife!
And, yes, range fires even take
a toll of human lives!
Range fires bring destruction and shortages which
contribute to higher prices that no one can escape!
And the sad truth is that 9 out of 10 of these fires
are caused by people like YOU and your neighbor.
RANGE FIRES CAN BE PREVENTED IF YOU WILL
’ FOLLOW—FAITHFULLY— THESE FOUR SIMPLE RULES
1. Hold your match ’til it’s cold
—then pinch it to make sure.
2. Crush out your cigarette# ci
gar# pipe ashes. Use an ash tray!
3. Drown your campfire, then stir
and drown again.
4. Ask about the law before burning
grass, brush, fence rows, or trash.
