The Oregon Statesman
At least three new buildings are needed a library, a music
building and a hall of science. The museum needs room and
system-
Oh, well, there are many things'.
And these will all come, in due time, through hard and
devoted work
And Willamette will have a $2,000,000 endowment, and
then $3,000,000. And then it will keep on growing through
the years. It will have 1000 students as soon as that many
can be properly accommodated. It will some day be a great
school in numbers, as well as in quality and historic setting.

It is an inspiring spectacle, this homage of the nations
to a boy who believed in himself and dared to trust his judg
ment and his skill, and in success was still the smiling boy,
unspoiled. This is all very fine, showing the universal spirit of
good fellowship and good sportsmanship. Charles Lindbergh
has joined the whole universe in a spirit of good fellowship
and understanding.

Jane 12, 1027
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the
arrow that flleth by day. Nor for the pestilence that walketh-In
darkness; or for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand
tiall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand, but it shall
not come nigh thee. Psalm 91: 5-7.
WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY
Willamette university is entering upon its eighty-fourth
year, and it is fitting that a review be had of the past, present
and prospective future of the institution

'west of the Mississippi river. Jason Lee, whose statesman
ship had so much to do with the securing of the great north
west the Oregon Country to the United States, had erected
a manual training building for Indian children on what is now
the campus of Willamette university. A dreadful epidemic
in 1844 caused the death of nearly half the Indian students
and resulted in the closing of the school. The property was
purchased for the new Oregon Institute, whose inception was
in trip siihsrrintion of Sfirift nn thp steamer Tausanne. hearinc

And the $4000 for the purchase of the building was sub

struggled and hoped together. The school and the town were
vborn twins. The twain were rocked in the same cradle.
There have been dark days and bright days for the town and
tschool. In all the years the school has been the chief cultural
fasset of the town
2 And the institution is now the city's chief asset in this
frespect, if not in all respects, because the spirit of the campus
raaiaies aruunu me wonu; an niLaniuie imng 01 sonu vaiue
harking back from all climes
And now we find Willamette university with a registra
tion of 623 for the past school year, with a graduating class
,r'of 94, the largest in its history, with an expense bill of the
institution itself for salaries and other expenses amounting
;to around $160,000annually, and growing each year; with a
big annual sum entering the channels of trade here from
students sfnd the families attracted hither by its educational
.jacmues.
$ Willamette has become a university of scope. It would
"require thirty years for a student to take all the work
offered. - ' ; '
t Graduates of Willamette have filled and are filling respon
sible places in the world; they have become governors,
judges, physicians, ministers and leaders in all honorable
occupations. More than 100 alumni are now superintendents,
principals and high school teachers in the northwest; more"
f than a score are college administrators and teachers, many
are in the Christian ministry, and a score or more are mis
fsionaries abroad.
There has been a growing recognition of the quality of
Willamette graduates by the great professional and graduate
schools of the country. A Willamette alumnus of last year
was offered a teaching fellowship by seven universities.
' Willamette university gave to the pioneer life of the north-west
coast section a trained leadership which quickly trans
formed the new country into a place of advanced civilization.
What of the future ? Willamette university has an endow
ment fund of over $1,000,000. This is being steadily in
creased. With the completion of the forward movement
.campaign, planned for October 1 of next year, the total of
endowment funds will be well on towards the $2,000,000 mark.
t This campaign was begun upon the offer! of $350,000 by the
Rockefeller educational foundation towards $1,000,000 to be
added to the endowment resources of the institution. There
..was a handicap of about $275,000 in the efforts of the friends
of the institution in securing, their $650,000 share of the new
fundi. Tbere was $25,500 debt to ; be taken care of, the
,jicvT gjTMHiooiuiii nau.iu uc uiuh, me paymems on lausanne
hall completed, Waller hall rebuilt after the fire, and the

will have to be tharged off. - Some are estate pledges, which

r , So there will have to be about $200,000 new and continued
'subscription 'payjnents .secured before October 1st of next
year. - ... , . ;.;. - .: .
. Plans are being matured for the work of securing these.
, . The . school of. law , is to be stabilized, preliminary work
having been done along this line. , ) '
" Modern methods are being inaugurated in all departments.
The standards ol Willamette are being raised. It is doing
good work, with a faculty devoted to its ideals, faithful and
efficient ' '
- But manythings are needed. , Many small and large gifts.
The Russian soviet is seeing things. Seeing ghosts.
Twenty persons in Moscow have been executed on charges of
anti-soviet activities. This jumpy feeling is the forerunner
of new rivers of blood. How long will the blind lead the blind
in the horror that is Russia? How long will a whole nation
of people who might be virile and progressive follow a crazy
leadership that is worse than the rule of the czars? The
world has seen strange things in many nations in its long
history, but nothing stranger than the Russia of the present.
the present. .
The Salem Y. M. C. A. has outside as well as inside activi
ties. It is the community baseball and recreational center
for Salem. It has charge of and helped to organize 21 base
ball teams for men and boys, divided into four organized
leagues the Commercial, Industrial, Church and Sunday
School leagues. With all the room of the new building of
the association occupied to the last square foot at times, and
much of it all the time, the spirit of service goes outside and
takes in the whole city and the entire Salem district. A
wonderful work. General Secretary Kells, attending Y. M.
C. A. conferences and inspecting association activities in the
east, will soon return chuck f ull of new ideas of useful
service.
It is childish to say there is no emergency in the state's
finances. It is flippant to say the way to balance the budget
is to cut down expenses and reduce salaries. What expenses ?
What salaries? Who is getting too much? Would you cut
down on the food and raiment of the 5000-odd state wards?
Would you turn loose the feeble minded and the insane and
the tubercular? Would you hark back to the days of the
"Poor Toms" running at large when there were no asylums
for the insane? What would you do? What substitute have
you to offer for an income tax law such as is proposed, to
make up the deficiency in the state budget, and then help
in lifting the state tax burden from real property:
job. Not a hitch in the program.
Salem has a big show all its
own. Next year it will be given
again, and that will be the third
repetition. Perhaps, who knows
the North Summer neighborhood
may be the small acorn from which
Oregon will some day provide a
Barn urn-Bailey.

I That the highways are not in
favor with farmers, at least as
they were once,rwas, illustrated
last week" when a farmer from
Corvallls territory, who was look,
ing for a farm -here, said that he
did not, want one on the highway.
He said that he would give $5 an
acre, more for a place off the high
way, though he wanted one near
it. According to his statement
a highway through a . farm was
orse than four railroads. ; He
said that stock, poultry and every
thing on , the farm, even to the
children, were in danger bf stray
ing onto, the highway and getting
killed, A railroad pays for the
destruction it causes, he averred,
but there is no way to get money
from motorists. Not long ago ft
was" argued jj that1 a highway
through a farm was worth half the
place. Thus do-times and con
ditions and opinions change.

When we threw the doors open last Friday little did we expect such enormous Crowds
The big announcement of ours, "Shoulder to Shoulder with the Public" dropped like
a bomb. It sizzled straight on to a big army of people. It was plain truth and we had
the facts to back up every word and price of it. We did not beat around the bush, but
ripped the lid by the reckless disregard we have given to prices. Remember good things
won't last forever which day are you coming?
