have shown true U niversity spirit in
rallying to the O regon standard and

I ’ortland.
For a time interest seemed- to he
lacking, hut Mr. Ila rto g knew th at
such was not the case and knew also
the best wav to arouse the enthusiasm
that was not dead but sleeping. W ith
the assistance of the Southern Pacific
E 'HUpanv and the perm ission of the
Eugene Com mercial Chib, lie posted
the town with inspiring bills and cards
and aroused to high pitch the dorm ant
feeling. The speech at A ssem bly on
