ENDING OF THE BLUE
MOUNTAIN
m
The Blue Mountain University prac- ,
tically went out of existence twenty-'
four years ago this month when a
meeting of the directors was held and '
it was voted to sell the property to
the La Grande school district for the
sum of one dollar, but it was stipulate
ed that the district must expend at
least $6000 in providing suitable im- j
piuveiumiis iur acuuui mutinies. I
For nearly ten years previous to
that time the old University building
had been unoccupied. Every , vestige
of its former greatness such as it
was had departed. The building
which occupied nearly the same site
as that of the present "Central" build
ing, presented an uninviting sight
with windows broken and the foun-:
dation and walls sinking into decay, i
The University building was erec- i
ted in 1874 and was built of brick and
was at that time tha most pretenti
ous structure in Eastern Oregon. For .
several years the institution was
maintained at a fairly high standard
considering the conditions and the
many difficulties and limitations in ;
a country as sparsely settled as this
section was at that time.
After a few .years of hard struggle
the hopes of sustaining, an institu
tion of higher learning were aban
doned. But the resolution of the University
directors did not go into effect at
once. The original proposition was
to repair the old building for the use
of the La Grande school district. Af
ter many delays and much counselling
over the matter it was decided to take
down the old structure and the "Cen
tral" building was erected as & high
school, and it was .used as such and
several of the rooms were alloted to
the grade school work. This condi
tion of things was naturally short
lived on account of the rapidly in
creasing number of La Grande's
school population.
The proposal to vote $75,000 bonds
for the present high school building
a few years later easily carried, and
the original tract of five acres do
nated by Daniel Chaplin in the early
seventies for the University, is now
the site of 'the two buildings ana is
the property of the La Grande school
district.
On account of a reversible clause in
the original deed, which conveyed the
property for educational purposes,
Mrs. Chaplin, widow of Daniel Chap
lin, was paid $1500 for her interest
in the tract.

Should La Grande Churches
tise?
This same question, rearranged to
fit the community in which it is asked,
is being queried of hundreds of re-
igious men. 1 ho answer is becoming
of one accord these days they
should; at least in other towns this is
found advisable.
Between 200 and 300 ministers and
advertising men from various sec
tions of the country attended tlie con
ferences on Chun'h Publicity held in
conjunction vitfc the convention of the
Associated Advertising clubs of the
world, in Philadelphia, June 25-30.
Seme of the speakers traveled hun
dreds of miles to address these con
ferences. Each speech was born of
experience and study. There was not
one dissenting voice heard to the
proposition finally made tbat tho con-!
forence assume permanent form as a
Commission on Church Advertising j
and ruuiieity in order to bring to the
whole church the benefits of tho best
modern advertising methods.
The Convention and the conferences
on Church Publicity closed too late to
permit of an Bdequnte report in this
number of the Christian Herald. Such
a report, therefore, is reserved for nn
early succeeding number, and will
aover the Convention as a whole with
particular attention to the church
