Ceremony has long, rich history
On Sunday, June 10. the
University will recog
nize its 1990 graduat
ing class in a commencement
ceremony It's been 112 years
since the first class graduat
ed. and a few things have
changed since then
Back in the summer ot
1878, a grand total of five stu
dents took their place in local
history in becoming the first
class to graduate from the
University The class was
made up of four men and one
woman and each of them
spoke at the ceremony They
had taken a vote to determine
who would give the valedicto
ry speech Ellen Condon, the
woman, was chosen
The ceremony was held in
an opera house in downtown
Eugene City, as it was then
known, because the entire
University consisted of one
building that could not hold
all wanting to attend
According to Keith Rich
ard. University archivist, there
really was no campus back
then It was an orchard with a
building in the middle The
only trees in the area were the
two |ust north of that build
ing They are still standing to
this day.
The following year, gradua
bon was held in a newly con
structed auditorium on the
third floor of that one building
on campus. The building was
later named Deady Hall in
honor of Judge Matthew
Deady a benefactor of the
University and the first presi
dent of the board of regents
He gave the commencement
address that year
In the early years of the
University each graduating
class donated a gift The first
few classes planted trees The
one planted by the class of
1879 is the oldest one on i am
pus
The class of 1891 didn't
have mu( h (tick with their ef
tort The first tree they plant
ed died quickly as did a sec.
ond one Because of this the
class of 1893 decided to give
a gift with a much more ret
tain future They took a piece
of basalt from what is now
known as Skinner s Butte and
placed it |ust north of the new
building on campus Villard
Hall They carved Class ot
1893 in the three feet high
cylindrical stone, and it can
still be seen on (he lawn
In the years since then
classes have donated money
to help build the EMU and the
Knight Library Originally, the
gifts were paid tor with the
money students were charged
in class tees Because the
