THE OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY.
Ncnr Eugene City, mul overlooking
it from on eminence near the Oregon
ami California Railroad, is the hand
Rome structure known as the Oregon
State University. It is built entirely
of brick ami fitted with all the modern
conveniences. The grounds embrace
eighteen acres of fertile soil. A bayou
of living water puts in from the Will
amette river and affords the best of fa
cilities for irrigating at trifling cost.
The location is at the extreme south
ern point of the Willamette valley,
where the Cascade and Coast ranges
seem to meet, thus leaving a gateway
through the Calapooia mountains and
out to the rest of the world.
Looking northward from the front
of the University, one can see twenty
miles down the valley, twenty miles of
waving, beautiful ripe grain, while in
the rear the symmetrical forms of three
magnificent snow-peaks, the "Three
Sisters," complete this peerless picture.
It is impossible to conceive of a more
beautiful and appropriate situation for
an institution of learning, or where the
general landscape presents a more ex
quisite combination of the grand and
beautiful the llr-clad mountains, ex
ultant river, ami tho broad valley, terri
torial in its extent, ami boundless in its
agricultural resources.
