McClure Hall Remains
Only Memory Now
The third oldest building on the
University campus remains only
in the memories of the chemistry
and journalism students who
studied there during its 52 years
of existence.
Ivy-covered McClure hall has
been torn down to make room for
the new journalism building which
is slated for completion next fall.
McClure, the first permanent
building ever to be torn down on
the campus, was razed during the
summer, and workmen are now
engaged in excavating for the
basement of the new building.
The old building was completed
in 1900 to house the chemistry de
partment and was dedicated by
the class of 1901 to Edgar Mc
Clure, a young chemistry profes
sor who was killed in a fall on Mt.
Rainier three years earlier.
Faculties for 200
It was an imposing building . . .
in 1900. It cost $28,000 to build
and was equipped with nearly $7,
000 worth of equipment, including
laboratory facilities for 200 stu
dents.
In 1922 a new journalism build
ing was constructed on the east
end of McClure. Confusion reigned
during the years when the journal
ism school set up a print shop in
the basement of McClure, and the
chemistry offices spread to the
first floor of journalism.
The chemistry department de
serted both buildings in 1952 to
move into the new science build
ing. Journalism took over, but Mc
Clure was doomed with the au
thorization of funds for the con
struction of the new journalism
building.
The building which will rise on
the site of McClure is being con
structed at a cost of approximately
$559,000, in bold contrast to the
$28,000 cost of the original build
ing.
Journalism to Use Quonsets
Until the new building is com
pleted, the school of journalism
have moved into the quonsets east
of Commonwealth hall.
The razing of McClure, although
the most obvious, is not the only
change in the physical structure
of the University since last spring.
The old frame building which
last year housed the University’s
extension division has been torn
down, and the area on Kincaid st.
where the building was located
will be seeded to lawn. The exten
sion division has been moved to
Emerald hall in the section pre
viously occupied by the mathemat
ics department which is now in
Deady hall.
Renovation of the school of edu
cation and the old University high
school building is now in progress.
The school of education will take
over both buildings when the
work is completed the first of
winter term.

be appointed acting president to
serve from September 16 until a
president can be selected.”
"We expect to confirm this de
cision in our next official board
meeting September 16.”
Of the nominees for permanent
president, the board said:
"Members of the board of higher
education have given careful study
to the credentials of some 20
nominees for the presidency of the
University of Oregon. We also
have studied the recommendations
of the two faculty groups, the fac
ulty advisory council and the board
of deans. The list of nomineess has
been sufficiently narrowed and we
expect to begin interviews in the
next few weeks."
Confidence Appreciated
Morris stressed the fact that he
is not a candidate for the perma
ncnt presidency in a statement
issued following the decision of the
board. In accepting the position,
Morris declared "The confidence
expressed in me by this appoint
ment is very deeply appreciated.
I am definitely not a candidate for
the permanent presidency of the
University. During whatever in
terim I am asked to serve I shall
give the institution the very best
of my thinking and my energy.
The University is in excellent con
dition. The search is on for the
best possible man to assume the
permanent presidency and carry
the school forward into still
greater service to the state of Ore
gon.
“During the Interim we will to
gether strive to maintain our pace,
meet whatever problems may arise
and then welcome enthusiastically
the next permanent president of
the University.”
