. 53S E. Salmon Street, Portland. Or.
HERE shall I take my col
lege course?" Thla la
question that many young
men and women Jus out .of high
schools and academies are asking; them
selves at this time of year. The de
cision lies entirely with Individual pref
erence, guided perhaps by parental ad
vice, but there is one general answer
on which all educators and others In
a position to Judge intelligently seem
agreed "take your college course on
the Pacific Coast."
The novelty of a trip East and the
names of the older universities often
appeal to young people who have had
their preparatory schooling on the
Coast. Whatever benefits are to be de
rived, however, from leaving one's
home state for the larger colleges, are
said to be more than counterbalanced
by the advantages offered by a course
at any of a dozen or more institutions
on the Pacific Coast. In summarizing
these advantages, P,. I Campbell, pres
ident of the University of Oregon, re
cently said:
"In a general way, Mm reasons of at
tending the university of one's own
state are, the less expense, the larger
opportunity to enter into the university
life on account of telng better known,
and the advantage of making college
friends of people with whom one is
apt to be associated in his future in
his home state.
"It is also true, I think, that the stu
dent receives a larger amount of per
sonal Instruction In the smaller uni
versities than in the great universities
of the Eastern states. His training
during the four years of his under
graduate life will probably be better
In his home university than it would
be were he one of the three or four
thousand students In the older educa
tional institutions. For his graduate
work he can go East to advantage."
W. N. Ferrin, president of Pacific
University, in discussing the same ques
tion, said:

of Oregon be urged to attend the col
leges and universities found in the
state?
"In some cases, no. There are two
classes of students, not numerous as
yet here, who certainly cannot And
what they wUh In Oregon. One class,
usually perhaps, sons of wealthy par
ents. Includes those who value a col
lege course with its diploma chiefly
for what may be called, for lack of
a better term, the social distinction
accruing from It. Zf this is what the
boy wants, It would be waste of his
money to enter any of the colleges of
Oregon. He would bet'er seek one oi
the wealthy and aristocrati Institu
tions of the country where may be
found in large numbers the men of his
sort.
"The other class Includes those who
have already taken their baccalaureate
degree and wish to pursue university
or graduate work. Inasmuch as there
is little opportunity for this grade of
work in our state, these students are
compelled to seek it at one of the more
advanced institutions found in other
states. At present, neither of these
classes is large in Oregon. They will
grow, however, in the passage of years,
as the state advances and increases In
wealth.
"For the most part, the young peo
ple in Oregon who desire a college
course, I believe, are influenced by an
earnest ambition for an education.
They appreciate the value of intellec
tual training for the increased power
it gives one to make the most of one's
abilities and opportunities. Such stu
dents will select the school which, by
its equipment and the reputation which
It has earned of graduating' men who
are Intellectually well-trained, gives
promise of providing the Bort of educa
tion desired. And in all sincerity, I
believe these young people may be ad
vised that they can find In colleges lo
cated In our own state this training.
There is a glamour about large insti
tutions with large enrollments of stu
dents that is attractive to many, but
it is well recognized that bigness is not
an essential virtue in colleges. Large
classes may be a hindrance, rather than
a help, to the earnest student. Fine
buildings and laboratories with expen
sive equipment may not afford the
average undergraduate student with
more than he can make use of than
the more modest equipment.
"The best colleges, of Oregon are Im
proving with each year. The rapid
increase in the amount of real high
school work done In the state is mak
ing it possible for the colleges to do
better work, so as to meet more fully
the needs of earnest young students.
If there was at one time the necessity
of leaving the state in order to se
cure thorough college training, that
condition has passed by."
An effort was made to secure some
expression on the same subject from
other leading educators of the North
west, but those addressed were on their
vacations and could not be reached.
The views expressed, however, prob
ably bring out the same points that
would be set forth by others. The mat
ter of expense, it is pointed out. Is a
big Item to be considered in this con
nection. In addition to the costly trip
across the continent, the student who
stays at home can usually save In the
cost of board, of tuition and Incident
als, the location of most of the Far
Western schools being conducive to
economic living.
With the decision made to enter an
Oregon, Washington or California col
lege, the student will have no trouble
to find an Institution that appeals to
his peculiar desires. There are sev
eral strong institutions of collegiate
grade in each state and among them
both public and denominational schools.
Information concerning many of these
schools, as well as academies and tech-,
nical Institutions Is given 'i this Is
sue of The Oregonian.
COLLEGES AND ACADEMIES OF
COAST HAVE IDEAL LOCATIONS
Pleasant Environment of Educational Institutions in Oregon and Sister
States Makes Undergraduate Life Attractive.
ONE of the most valuable assets
of Pacific Coast colleges and acad
emies is" their beautiful surround
ings. The first things an Eastern edu
cator notices in visiting the schools of
Oregon, Washington and California are
the attractive sites and the large
grounds that practically all the insti
tutions in these three states are for
tunate in possessing.
There Is probably nothing more con
ducive to study and enjoyable college
life than attendance at a school that
Is pleasantly located. In the far West
most of the Institutions . are in the
smaller cities and sufficient land is
set aside for each to have a large and
beautiful campus. This not only gives
space for adequate athletic fields but
makes it unnecessary to crowd the
buildings together. Even those col
leges that are located in the larger
cities have been provided with large
tracts of land, most of them having
secured their sites before property had
reached high value.
As an Instance of this, the schools
of Portland are almost without ex
ception in choice locations. Portland
Academy haa two full blocks close In
against Portland Heights in an at
tractive neighborhood and close to the
city's center. St. Mary's College and
Academy has a full block, also cen
trally situated, and the stone wall that
surrounds the Institution makes it al
most as secluded as though it were in
a suburban district. St. Helen's Hall
is on the slope of Portland Heights and
commands a view of the city, the Wil
lamette River and the snow-capped
mountains. Allen Preparatory School
and Hill Military Academy are also for
tunate in this respect, while Columbia
University, on the Peninsula, has a
large campus on high ground over
looking the river.
Throughout the state conditions are
much the same. The University of Ore
gon has one of the most attractive sites
that could be desired, while the Oregon
Agricultural College Is on gently slop
ing land overlooking CorvalliSi the
grounds being the largest of all the in
stitutions In the state. Willamette Is
beautifully situated in the center of

Salem, while Pacific has a fine campus,
shaded by oak trees, In Forest Grove.
In other ways, however, the environ
ment of Oregon colleges is exceptional.
Many are located in towns where no
saloons are permitted and In all cases
they create a healthful atmosphere.
The denominational institutions, which
are numerous, throw christianizing in
fluences around the young people at
tending them and in the schools that
are not controlled by the churches the
moral tone is high.
The excellent opportunities at hand
for outdoor sports have resulted in Pa
cific Coast schools ranking high in ath
letics. Although there is little oppor
tunity for comparison of athletics in
the East and West, the Coast institu
tions would have little to lose by such
comparison. They are handicapped
somewhat by the fact that smaller stu
dent bodies give them fewer represent
atives from whom to choose their teams
and athletics have not been allowed to
be carried on at the expense of studies,
but In spite of these drawbacks, the
Western schools are putting out strong
teams, both in track athletics and foot
ball. While the Coast football teams never
meet those of the East, track records
here are far better than In the East
when the comparatively small number
of schools on the Coast is taken Into
consideration. Two world's champion
ships are held by Oregon men and good
records have been established in every
recognized event of track and field.
VARSITY HAS HIGH STANDING
Courses Thorough and Kqulpment
. Modern at Eugene.
At the head of the public school sys
tem of this state, the -University of
Oregon compares favorably with any of
the state universities of the country
in the thoroughness of its courses and
the ability of its faculty. This fact
is emphasized by a glance at the en
rollment of the university, which shows
that Its undergraduates are drawn from
many states. The list of alumni gives
further evidence, the names of men
and women of high standing In many
vocations being Included.
The catalogue of the university for
the past year shows that there was
an attendance of 827 students In all
departments. The enrollment has been
gaining rapidly for several years, not
only reflecting the growth of the state,
but indicating as well that Oregon's
young people realise that they have
just as good facilities at hand for their
college education as could be secured
by going to the Eastern Universities.
The University of Oregon was es
tablished in 1872 on Its present site
in Eugene, one of the prettiest towns
in' the state. Deady Hall, the first
building, was erected by the citizens
of Lane County. The equipment was-'
at first very small, but to the literary
department was soon added engineer
ing, scientific and technical courses. As
high schools became more numerous
throughout the state, the academy was
abolished, and now the institution de
votes its entire attention to the higher
courses. The curriculum offered Is
along broad lines, being practically a
free elective system with a major re
quirement. The university now has a large num
ber of buildings, with a library of
mpre than 20,000 volumes. There Is
also an adequate athletic field with a
four-lap track surrounding a well
constructed football field. The grand
stand and bleachers will seat 2000 peo
ple. A men's gymnasium is In course
of construction and will be equipped
with the best apparatus, an indoor run
ning track, swimming pool and shower
baths. The university has always stood
high in athletics, its teams on track,
gridiron and diamond always be
strong compefitors for the Northwest
championships. The faculty, however,
has adopted rules that prevent ath
letics from being carried on at the
cost of scholarship.
Parents Attention
Education is costly; the lack of
It more so. We offer your son the
advantages of a select, up-to-date
boarding and day-school for boys
and young men. The academy com
prises all primary, preparatory and
academic grades. We prepare for
the U. S. Academies at West Point
and Annapolis, or for any Ameri
can college. Our recommended
graduates admitted without exam
ination to all state universities,
Amherst, Colorado School of Mines,
Columbia, Cornell and Stanford.
We can give our cadets a complete
academic course or a thorough
business education. Your son does
not necessarily have to fit the
school, for the school will supply
his personal needs. Our advantage
lies in small classes (one instructor
to about 10 boys) and our individu
al coaching system of backward or
discouraged boys. The academy is
equipped with all necessary ap
pliances, chemical and physical
laboratories, manual training shop,
etc Our military department
teaches not only drill and tactics
and redresses physical deficiencies,
but it also founds and fosters self
assurance, love of order and sys
tem, quick decision and habits of
cleanliness, neatness, promptness
and obedience. Nearly all leading
universities have adopted military
training as part of their regular
work, the additional advantage of
our graduates over those from non
military preparatory schools Is
therefore obvious. All manly
sports and clean safe athletics are
encouraged, and social education
of our cadets is by no means neg
tected. HILL MILITARY ACADEMY
