HILL TODAY University of Oregon BuiWing Is Now Half ' Century Old UNIVERSITY OP OREGON, Eugene. Oct. 22. (Special) ConCI di nce In tho future o( the unlvcr. slty held by the pioneers has been justified, declared Dr. Claluorno M. Hill, one of the early graduate til an address on "The Spirit of Old Oregon", at the dedication of Deady hall, the first building on the campus, today. 'We may confidently expect that Oregon, now 50 years old, under the leadership of our dlstiliBulshed, experienced and uhle president. Dr. Arnold Dennett Hall, will move prosperously toward a centennial of far RreRter usefulness and pros perity." lr. Hill, who is president of the Berkeley Baptist Divinity school, said. Dr. Hill was gradu ated in thoclass of J8S1. Changing Times The first hundred students who marched up the broad board walk to Deady hull In 1878, tho day that the university opened, mlKht look strullBfl on the campus today, Dr. Hill stated, but It la not extrava gant to say thut they represented the flower, of tho youth of our state, "Such as wo were, we came up out of the west to Deady hall. It looke grandly impressive to use. for In all the northwest in 1876 there were few more Imposing buildings. We came up to Deady, to cramped classrooms, to meet a faculty of five Including two teach ers In the preparatory department. Remembers Instructors mere was Aiuaum snmier, iuk minded, capable, whose unfailing enthusiasm was envoked by gram mar and public speaking. There was Mark Bailey, professor of mathematics, who had an incur able optimism in the future of his BMtrfMiu Thnn therfl was Profes sor Thomas Condon whose tools'; were In part the fossils which hoj had dug out of tho cliffs along the John Day river. John Straub. looking marvelously young among our sage and whiskered faculty, cuine later. Ho brought a new element into the university. Soon the young Oregonians began to; struggle proudly with tho Oermian guttorals and to talk about Wil liam Toll and Faust. And last, though he was first in position, cuine John W. Johnson. In him tvnlfied the western pioneer boy. There was an eternal fitness in such a man becoming the first president of the university. By ex perience, character and education liu was prepared to be our Moses to leud us out of tho wilderness." Student Mfc Simpler Student life wus much simpler in the early days, declared Dr. Hill. There were no organized athletics and few sociul occasions moro ex citing than walking around the auditorium floor of Deady hall with a coed. "Other contests of strength were primitive", he suld. It one class going up to Deudy hull met another class coming down, we sometimes clashed and tried to put one unother off the sldewulk or ovur the fence. On occasions wc took long hikes. Two men of that day established a pre cedent of nn over-night stay on ypi'iicer's butto. , . "Tho one sumptuous feature of life In Kugene lit that time was the generous support of many sa- loons. But they were not sup ported by students. If one stud ent In a hundred saw the inside of one of them, he did it secretly for such a vlsit'meant prompt dis missal by the faculty." "It is in harmony with what I tuive been saying to add that the predominating characteristic of the spirit of old Oregon was idealism. Our faculty nourished it in us. And n nil of us believed in the future of the university," Dr. Hill concluded. Farmer and Dog Get Huge Cougar Near Oregon City OKEGON CITY, Ore., Ovi. 2t. One of tho largest cougar! killed in Clackamas county was that brought hero on Weiinesiiyy by W. 8. Gorbutt, wt-lt known farmur of Coitaii, who killed the animal on a hunting trip wiiii his 10-yvar-oId son, Sidney, on the north fork of the Moluilu river. Tho hunters give credit for set ting the cougar to Mutt, tho fax terrier dogr owned by the Gorbett family, which treed tho animal and attracted attention of tu hunters. Hastening to the spot where the dog was barking, the hunters found the cougar perched 80 fmt up a tree. One shot brought It down. After it hud reached the ground it started for tiie heavy timber section that lay beyond. The animal was wounded in the shoulder but made good headway, although closely followed by Mutt. Two more shots followed, and the third ended the animal's life. Gorbett says that by killing this cougar will probably be the means of saving at least 50 deer in that locality. While hunting for the cougar Skinner came across a doe and two fawns and these would have probably been de voured by the big beast had it not been for the fox temor ana Gorbett's gun, The cougar measured 74 feet long.
