pleted and the building now stands,
at East Twenty-second and Sandy,

Church Census of Students Taken.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene.
Oct. 23 (Special.) Presbyterian and
Methodist denominations lead in the
church preference list of the Univer
sity of Oregon students, with Chris
tian a good third.
A total of 1429 students were reg
istered by the Y. M. C. A., and of this
number 291 expressed no preference.
Hal B. Donnelly, local Y. M. C. A.
secretary, says this number is com
paratively small, as this group usu
ally includes 50 per cent of the stu
dent body in universities and non
sectarian schools.
This list does not account for the
entire membership of the student
body, as Mr. Donnelly says he failed
to get about 70 cards.
From these figures the conclusion
may be drawn that there are 1500
Students registered in the university
this term, but the registrar's office
has not determined the exact num
ber. The list, which follows, does not
differentiate between membership and
mere preference:
I'resbytorian. 275; Methodist. 238: Chris
tian, 153: Kpiscopnl. 40: Catholic. 83: Bap
tist. 79: Connresational. 68; Christian Sci
