Many students have gone from Oregon to reflect . credit on their trawin through their serious work In another ! field. But through, those who are, not , mentioned when the roll of signal hon ors Is culled; through the many Jflio always go ' from any Institution and carTy out their 'life's work quietly and unobtrusively, whether It be In a home , or In a humble, little school room: through ' theae unglorlfied ones whose names are forgotten by the majority, the bigh ideals, the loyal spirit, the sturdy manhood and womanhood which are the lensons taught at Oregon have made themselves felt through the years that, they have come In contact with others. . The meu and women who hava taught at Oregon have been such as could not fall to Impress their characters upon tha young people with wnom they came in . contact. Think of Dr. Thomas Condon, one of the grandest men God ever cre- atrd,- who was known and loved from one end of the state to the other and who was called the "grand old man of Ore . eon." He left the stamp of his beauti ' ful character upon every student of the hundreds that attended the university during his lifetime. He smoothed many , difficult paths tor the young people and taught them by his life and example that only the good is worth while. He . did - more than any other toward f1 ralghtenlng out the religious problems that arose in the young people's minds with their first Insight into science i which , to the untutored mind seemed (.-'ItZliltillllK WIIH plhiu leUKlUUH 1MUH.H. He it was that taught by his large praep of the eternal mind that the petty questions that were disturbing petty theologians were after all but a mere jiyle Issue and that the everlasting prin ciples of the universe remained un changed throughout all the controversial arguments. Spirit of Self Education. There was Professor Samuel Edgar McClure, who during his brief life im bued many a young man and woman with the spirit of solf sacrifice and no ble endeavor that'characterlzed his own life. ;: He had struggled with hardships and won for himaelf all that he had. There was. Dr. John W. Johnson, the first president of the unlwrsitv. who bid underneath a blunt, outitpoken ex- t rior one of the largest, kindest of ! carts, and who typified sturdy man lijvid that had fougnt against odds to win wlHtt he thought worth while There J.weriUand are others.

He was made judge of the juvenile court of Multnomah county at Its estab lishment some years ago and his sincer ity of .purpose and seal in the work of helping erring youth won him dis tinction npt only throughout the state but over the country whereby he was given a vice-presidency In the natlenal organisation. The number of children who voluntarily followed his funeral procession on foot testified to the chil dren' own regard for him. Among the Graduates.
