row to the administration and

higher education In the state were
heard on every hand, for though
he was known to be ill his death
came as a distinct shock. j-'.
"We at the college feel a dis
tinct loss exceeded only at the in-
' stititlon that will remain a living
monument to his work as educator
and administrator," said W. J "A.
.. Jensen, executive secretary, j "I
know I speak for President Kerr
now convalescing in Seattle from
a serious- illness,! when I say that
he ield Dr. Campbell in great per
sonal esteem. As head of the Uni
versity of Oregon in the days
when It has grown from meager
beginnings to a great state center
of learning, Dr. Campbell showed
great wisdom for great and untir-
! Ing devotion. The success of the
university has been purchased at

intestinal flu. Two years ago the
president arose from his sick, bed
to address the student body of the
university during a student union
drive,4 and following this some
'time later serious complications
set in. and he failed steadily, .
. Funeral arrangements have not

nervous demonstration said: -;
"He did it."

head. . He did not associate with
my" musician friends or call on my
parents because he was not of
their world." Dr. Clark testified
Dorothy told him last night.

that the Ellingson girl was suffer
ing from dementia praecox at the

unsigned, at the state hospital for
the insane at Napa where she was
under observation for a month,
also vras introduced as evidence
