Analysis By KEN VAN OSPOL J
Planning underway for Centennial
The University is planning its
birthday—three years early. In
1976, die University will take
historical note of its 100th year as
an academic institution of higher
education.
It was in the fall of 1076, that 97
students first enrolled in the
University of Oregon—consisting
of one budding, newly completed
Deady Hall. Now the time has
come to plan the celebration of
that memorable occasion.
Coincidental and convenient is
the fact that the United States of
America will also be flying full
colors of celebration in 1976
commemorating the signing of
the Declaration of Independence
in 1776. Some University Cen
tennial planners are toying with
the idea of linking die two
celebrations.
Although definite dates haven’t
been established, the University
wiD probably celebrate its 100th
anniversary for an entire year or
more.
Planning for the birthday
occasion is still in the rough
stages but some general
and a few details are beginning to
gel. The University’s Centennial
celebration will likely be dubbed
“Second Century” because ‘it
looks forward into the future
instead of back to the past It’s
more optimistic.”
A variety of academic, cultural
and developmental activities are
currently being blueprinted for
“Second Century” celebration,
possible events may include
concerts, art exhibits, theater
performance, and lectures by
noted sccbolars.
A significant part of the “Second
Century” plan involves “sight
raising and friend raising” ac
tivities. Translated into less
discrete terms it means fund
raising. The University will

univeristies and colleges

‘The public should be aware
that the state doesn't support the
University entirely,” Carl Fisher
of the University Development
Fund said. “We hope to
significantly raise the level of
voluntary contribution to the
University,” he added.

President dark, discussed the
Centennial in broader terms. She
said the fund raising project is
only part of the planned program.
“We’re going to try to develop an
awareness (in the people of
Oregon) of the quality of the
University. Most Oregonians
don’t realize what a first class
University they’ve got here,”
Jackson said. The University is
very highly regarded outside the
state as one of the nation’s best
institutions, according to
Jackson. Within Oregon,
however, the University’s
reputation suffers—partially due
to the high level of student ac
tivism in recent years.
The primary aim of the
“Second Century” celebration
“is to get the University to reach
out to let the people know what a
good place this is,” Jackson said.
Along with the planned ap
pearances of “notable speakers”,
fine arts exhibits and building
dedications, development
projects will mark the 100-year
mark at the University.
According to Fisher, projects
under consideration include
remodeling of present structures,
improvements in the University
Library, restoration of the
Millrace, a new addition to the
Art Museum, restoration of
Hayward Field track facilities
and a student retreat.
Clark expressed interest in a
Millrace restoration project. He
said the University may try to
obtain legal easements to
preserve and beautify the
Millrace “for posterity.” "We
can’t lose it—it is slipping away
by bits,” Clark said.
The possibility of constructing
an addition to the present Art
Museum also struck a note of
interest with dark who is keenly
interested in fine art. dark ««iH
he expects the University will
find “friends” who will regard;
and addition to the Art MuseiHnj
as a worthwhile project worth of
their donations.
