Early Social Life Nonexistent
Way back in 1876, Mary Spillcr,
first woman member of the Uni
versity teaching staff, did much
for the growing institution in ttie
direction and founding of college
social life.
In contrast to the many organi
zations of a social nature on the
campus today were the first col
lege organizations, L a u r e a n s,
men's debating society, and Eu
toxian, women’s literary society.
Social life in those days was
practically nonexistent because
there were no fraternities or sor
orities to offer social activities.
Out of town students boarded with
private families while all Eugene
students continued to live at home.
The closest function to social ac
tivity were the occasional joint
open meetings of the two campus
societies.
Fraternizing in the halls and on
campus was carried on with no ob
jections: however dancing was
completely prohibited. Later, Mrs.
Spillcr succeeded in allowing danc
ing under strict chaperonage.
Friendly First Iiorin
Friendly hall, a familiar building
to Oregon students, was formerly
the first dormitory on the campus.
It was named after a Faigenc mer
cHant and was erected in IKOI at
a cost of $2.r),000. II was only about
half the size of the present hall
The first women's dormitory, nam
ed after Mary Spiller, was erected
in 1(>07. Mary Spiller hall, was a
two-story frame building located
at the southeast edge of the cam
pus.
Sigma Nu claims the honor of
being the first fraternity on the
campus. A charter was given the
Sigma Nil's in 1900. Five of the
nine charter members are still liv
ing and assembled last December
to celebrate the fraternity’s semi
centennial. Flight years later the
first sorority. Gamma Phi Beta,
was installed.
At the present there are 21 fra
ternities and 10 sororities on the
campus. A far cry from the first
installation of chapters some 50
years ago.
Sororities and fraternities
through the years have cooperated
effectively in solving a difficult
housing situation.
Today, Oregon can boast a help
ful social program, thanks to the
efforts of that pioneer tutor and
women's adviser, Mary Spiller.
