DEADY HALL IS
DEDICATED BY
DR. 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

enthusiasm was envoked by gram

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.
