GYMNASIUM AT WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY
,-4
. The past . year's progress ' has
been along two - lines especially
Which tend to increase Salem's
respect for the university as a
civic asset;, - The first of these is
tha campus. Pop several- years
the lawn about-the otherwise at
tractive and artistically grouped
buildings, Had retrograded - until
jt contrasted to its own disadvan
tage with the 'M'ejl keptt grounds
of the. .-state:, fjouieacdsa &the

possible for this condition to be
remedied. 1 Bu that todp time.
Thocamps was loed."'), and
leftthus wnile-cultivation and
time killed the weeds which had
.encroached on the once well kept
lawn. ' :
4 Oronhds' Improved
This fall, the period of cultiva
tion ended, " the ' grouhds were
smoothed and, rolled after water
pipes for irrigation had been laid,
and new. grass was sown. - Today,
the campus of Willamette ''univer
sity is again assuming that green
ness which once made k an aes
thetic attraction, which ranked
well among Salem's other beauty
spots-
The Other principal achieve
ment which Salem's nniversity
has attained i 1926. is a revival
or the -athletic prominence which
It-once held in the .northwest.
Primarily,- this -came about
through the formation of the new
Northwest intercollegiate confer
ence, an organisation of the
smaller colleges, whieh tended to
dignify their participation Into a
real competition, as opposed to
their former status as perennial
tail enders in an association of
larger schools with athletic po
tehtlalttle9" vliich they could not
hope to equal. '

ence ol tneir.own, nas tenaea iu

the football season just enaea,
the strength of the larger schools.
Thtii ws . auicklv recognized by
the public all over the northwest,
With th result that unpreceaeni
fd attention has been given to
these teams and thus indirectly
to the schools- themselves.
The-second, although perhaps
not secondary, cause. of the ath
letic revival at Willamette uni
versity has -been the advent of
Roy Keene as thletic director. A
RalATn nroduct with an: Impressive

are not so radically strict as the

With these two exceptions the
rules are not greatly different
from those in force even at the
state schools and 'others which

Atmosphere Religious
A distinctly religious atmos

ram mis: but it is an intelligent

trustees and faculty is to main
tain a sentiment which will in-
tsnire students to high purposes
and their best efforts, but at me

The result is that the religious

is the distinctive, possession of

learning, In -maintaining such a
spirit, Willamette university ex

It mieht be added that theology
