SCHOOLS KEEP UP WITH RAPID
PROGRESS IN OTHER ACTIVITIES
New Buildings and Equipment Are Constantly Being Added hy State,
Denominational and Private Institutions.
WITH the progress along; all ma
terial lines In Oregon the de
velopment of the state's rich
resources and the enlargement of com
mercial activities the cause of educa
tion has kept pace. From the small
schools, founded In pioneer days, have
grown large universities, colleges, pre
paratory and technical Institutions,
each doing Its share to prepare young
men and women for successful careers.
Instead of having too few institu
tions, the only criticism that has been
directed against the schools of Oregon
la that they are perhaps too numerous.
Whether or not It Is true that fewer
Institutions could do equally well, the
work that is being accomplished by
many, present conditions at least show
the liberal spirit manifested In this
state towards education. Private citi
zens, religious bodies and the state It
self have alike proved generous In sup
porting the schools, with the result
that practically all of them are well
equipped and have competent corps of
instructors.
With the rapid growth of the state,
corresponding gains are noted In the
enrollment of the various Institutions.
If statistics were available they would
doubtless prove surprising In the large
increase of students In the higher in
stitutions during the last five or ten
years. Probably not a college or acad
emy could be cited where the gain
has not been remarkable.
To accommodate these growing stu
dent bodies, the schools are constantly
adding to these buildings and equip
ment. During the Summer vacations
the sites of the institutions are busy
places, with the construction and im
provement work that Is always in prog
ress. The present season is no excep
tion In this respect, and when the next
school year begins new structures "and
new equipment wilt Be available In
several of the colleges.
As an lnstunot of the improvement
that Is constantly going on, the Uni
versity of Oregon during the last year
has erected an engineering hall which
houses all the departments of civil en
gineering, and in the basement of which
the general repair snops are located.
A new gymnasium, to cost $30,000, is
In process of erection, and will be mod
ern In every way. Another Indication
of the extensions being made at Ku
gene is that an annual appropriation
of $10,000 is set aside to purchase new
books for the library.
That the state Is providing wall for
Its schools is also shown by a glance
at the list ol the Oregon Agricultural
College buildings, which follows: Ad
ministration building, three-story brick,
containing 13 recitation rooms; Agri
cultural Hall, three-story gray granite
and sandstone, containing 29 rooms;
Agronomy building, also three-story
brick, designed as wing of proposed
new Agricultural Hall; Horticultural
building, two-story frame; Mechanical
Hall, two-story granite; Mechanic Art
building, two-story frame; Milling

ing laboratory, one-story brick; Ar
mors', large brick, with assembly room
accommodating 1400 people; Pharmacy
building, two-story frame; power plant,
one-story brick; Waldo Hall, three
story brick; women's dormitory; Cau
thorn Hall, three-story frame; men's
dormitory; Shepard Hall; Christian As
sociation building. costing (12,000
farm buildings, etc
Denominational schools In Oregon are
also steadily improving their equipment
and buildings. Pacific University, at
Forest Grove, has recently completed
a $40,000 womeu's dormitory, and is
soon to begin the erection of a $15,000
gymnasium. Willamette University has
a new general building. Eaton Hall,
constructed at a cost of $50,000. Other
less extensive Improvements are being
made by the schools throughout the
state, public, denominational and private.

O. A. C. HAS BIG ENROLLMENT
State School With 1351 Students
Does Fine Work.
With an enrollment of 1351 students,
an attractive campus, beautiful build
ings and modern appliances, the Ore
gon Agricultural College at Corvallls
Is one of the foremost Institutions of
its kind In the West. Its student body
Is the largest of any educational In
stitution in Oregon and the school Is
doing a great work in training its
students along the lines of scientific
farming, engineering, domestic science
and other kindred branches.
The purpose of the college Is to pro
vide. In accordance with the acts of
Congress under which It Is maintained,
a liberal, thorough and practical edu
cation an education that will afford
the training required for efficient ser
vice In different branches of industry,
The distinctive technical work covers
the three great fields of production,
manufacture and commerce. Special at
tention Is given to the application of
science. AH the practical work in the
laboratories, in the shops, In the or
chards and on the farm, is based upon
scientific principles. While the indus
trial or technical work is emphasized,
the Importance of a thorouph general
training, of mind development and cul
ture, is recognized in all of the work
throughout the institution. The object
is to meet the demand for a broad and
general education, supplemented by
special technical training.
The work, therefore, covers a broad
field. Including technical courses along
the different lines of agriculture and
forestry, commerce, pharmacy, engi
neering and household technology; with
the necessary training In the basic sub
jects of mathematics and the natural
and physical sciences: and also the gen
eral training In language, literature,
history and civics, which constitute an
essential part of a liberal education.
In athletics, oratory, in fact. In every
branch of undergraduate activity, the
Oregon Agricultural College takes high
rank. Because of its large student body
and competent trainers employed the
athletic teams are formidable contend
ers for honors in every college sport.
The annual. The Barometer, and other
student publications, have recognized
merit, and the military drills required
of undergraduates are very beneficial.
LEADING DOCTORS ON FACULTY
V. of O. Medical Department Will
Open September IS.
The medical department of the Uni
versity of Oregon was established in
Portland in 1S87. Many of the prac
titioners of Portland are members of
the faculty, and connection, through
the teachers, with St. Vincent's, Good
Samaritan and Multnomah County
Hospitals is such as to afford the most
enlarged advantages for clinical in
struction. The opening lecture of the twenty
second regular annual session will be
delivered at 8 A. M. Monday, Septem
ber 13. It is especially desired by the
faculty that all students be in attend
ance at the commencement of the ses
sion. Attendance upon lectures is ob
ligatory, in accordance with rules laid
down by the faculty.
COLLEGES FOUNDED IN PIONEER
DAYS HAVE BRILLIANT HISTORY
Cause of Education Prospered in Early Oregon Country, Despite Many
Handicaps That Had to Be Overcome.
THE history of education of the Pa
cific Coast Is the history of hard
ships overcome and success at
tained despite many obstacles. No con
ditions could be more unfavorable for
the founding of schools than those
which confronted the pioneers who
opened up the Oregon country. Despite
these handicaps, however, the men and
women who had. braved the wearisome
and dangerous Journey across the
plains were determined to give their
children the advantages of instruc
tion in the more common branches, and
this purpose they carried out with In
spiring zeal.
In a country where settlements were
few and homes for the most part sep
arated by many miles, there was little
of the community spirit to assist In
establishing schools. But wherever a
few families had settled near together,
teachers were soon secured and regu
lar classes formed. Where this was
impossible, the teaching was within
the home. But the need of more ad
vanced instruction was soon felt, and
in response to this demand the first
colleges had their beginnings.
The higher educational movement in
the Pacific Northwest was carried on
by men and women Imbued with the
missionary spirit. This fact Is shown
in the organization In 1835 of Willam
ette University, the oldest Institution
In this section of the country. Wil
lamette was first a missionary school
to the Indians, conducted by Jason
Lee, a Methodist, whose name is prom
inent In pioneer annals. From Its first
location the school was moved In 1842
to Salem, and six years later was In
corporated under its present name.
Most of the schools of the present do
not date back into pioneer days. One
that does, however, is Paclflo Univer
sity, at Forest Grove, which was es
tablished by a group of educators who
came from the East especially for that
purpose. McMlnnville College was
founded in 1855, and St. Mary's Acad
emy and College In Portland four years
later.
The University of Oregon, now the
largest institution or its kind in the
state, is comparatively a modern school.
It was founded in 18, through the
action of the Legislature, which set
aside 72 sections of land for its sup
port, providing also that the city of
Eugene must supply a site and erect

The Oregon Agricultural College at
Corvallls is the oldest state Institution.
In 1868 the Legislature appropriated
the interest from funds derived by the
sale of state land to this school, which
had been conducted by the Methodist
Kpiscopal Church, South. In 1885 the
church voluntarily relinquished control
of the Institution, which from that time
to the present has been altogether in
charge of the state, which has sup
ported It by liberal appropriations.
Crude as were the pioneer schools In
their beginnings, the teachers were in
many enses men of broad education and
marked natural ability, who had sac
rificed good positions In the East to
give their efforts in behalf of educa
tion in the newer country. Many peo
ple who attended these Institutions
during their earlier days have not only
taken high position within the state
but have won National distinction. The
solid foundations on which the various
institutions were built up are reflected
In the thoroughness of the courses that
are now offered.

MT. AXGEL HAS RAPID GROWTH
Catholic School Has Accommoda
tions for 250 Students.
Mount Angel College, located at
Mount Angrel, Or., and conducted by
the Benedictine Brothers, was founded
in 1887. The rapid Increase of stu
dents soon necessitated the erection of
a more spacious building; than that
originally used, and in the following
year a seminary was opened for the
training; of candidates for the priest
hood. In 1892 the monastery and sem
inary buildings were destroyed by fire,
but the progress of the school was not
arrested.
The new college is situated on the
crest of Mount Angel, a beautiful hill
which rises 300 feet above the sur
rounding: plain. It is 40 miles from
Portland, in one of the most attractive
sections of the Willamette Valley. The
college and seminary are built entire
ly of stono and afford comfortable ac
commodation for 250 students. Two
dormitories are maintained In charge
of the Benedictine Sisters.
The college is fortunate in possess
ing a good museum of natural his
tory. In connection with this there
is a herbarium, comprising approx
imately 1500 plants, in about equal
numbers, from Oregon, the Atlantic
states and Germany. The physical
cabinet is well furnished with all the
appliances necessary for a thorough,
practical and theoretical knowledge of
this science. The institution also has
