The celebration o f the quarter cen­
tennial o f the Oregon Agricultural col­
lege at Corvallis on June 14 louils par­
ticular significance to the history of
the institution. Its growth, whic h has
bo closely paralleled that o f the «tail*
has a peculiar interest at this time.
The origin o f the college liarii.s back
to the sixties, the beginning of uu t .
o f prosperity and industrial develop­
ment in tin« history o f Oregon, “ iio n<-
seeking” rather than “ goal sjekin
people were pouring into the* stale
The tendency of I lie time leaned to­
ward agricultural development and in­
tellectual udvninenient.
To this di position of the period the
Oregon State Agrh ultnrat < < ... ge owes
its existence* and pre ent location in
part. In lSdJ «o:: ;ie s appropriated
90,000 acres o f land for the support * *
an agricultural college, with the c<
dition that the college he in opersil m
by 1807. Under this act a douominn
tional school of tiie M. F. t'lr.i:* h
South already existing at Corvallis
and known as Corvallis college wa
charged with the management o f the
agricultural c ollege. Just here it is in­
teresting to note that Corvallis was
then a mere village, that the franc*
structure* which housed Corvallis col­
lege served also for a time as a public
school building and meeting house and
that all grades from the primary to
the academic department were accom­
modated.
The Southern Methodist
church came into possession of the
properiy in 18(13. Forthwith Rev. V*.
A Finley was chosen president, with
Vrofessnr Armstrong as assistant. The
tw o composed Hit* faculty. This was
the beginning.
This, then, was the institution and
«ticb lit«* condition# prevailing \vithin
its precincts when the legislature of
Oregon offered to locate with it in­
deed. Jo designate it—the Agricultural
College o? Qycgou. Therefore in 1808,
g appearing ttint “ unless an agricul-
,,,* ,!
.jyovided by law at this
,.n, r i . legislature the grant by
-Mn
Will he lost,” etc., the legisla­
ture nf i! i
ite passed «n act offer­
i n ' to desi.' .te Corvallis college as the
?*:rrlciiltur.il «■•»ltege o f the state, an<*
Uu board o f » uistees o f tbe college ac-
o tp u d tn< l nation of the state. Tw o
years later another definite step was
taken in the form o f an net which per­
manently located the agricultural col-
lego at Corvallis.
The faculty uow nuinl»ered three.
Dr. JortpU Emery having been elected
professor o f iqathematfcrf, and these
tiro e it was who arranged ft tw dyenr
course of study and distributed tin*
work o f It among themselves to be
carried along with executive bunions
already shouldered.
The agricultural course o f tw o years
ns outlined was one o f the best in the
nation at that time, yet it has been
likened to a course In pharmacy with
the pharmacy left out. It was a good
strong coiir** * In science and iiiflfim-
matlcs, and It made good, scholarly
men and women, it served its purpose
well in its day, and the matln umth s
and science, like do many letters of
the alphabet, have since spelled out in
full the courses Introduced !;it< r hi ;ig*
riculture,-agronomy, horticulture, etc.
From this em ,.yonie stage tlu*
growth o f the agricultural college lias
been phenomenal and parti uhirly dur­
ing the last few yc.»r-\ There came a
change in the otti* e of th i \ * titive
in 1872. but not until 1RSJ no we find
the first emphasis by the auUm dies of
the peculiar character o f the Institu­
tion as noted In the election o f a train­
ed agriculturist to the chair o f agricul­
ture and chemistry.
In 1SS3 the church voluntarily relin­
quish* 1 its claims on the funds of the
agricultural college, find the state, as­
suming control, proposed to relocate
the college at Corvallis on condition
that n hriclt building to serve as a col­
lege building, to cost not less than
$2D.()(M), be erected by the citizens of
¡’.onion county on the agricultural col­
lege farm previously purchased by the
board. Corvallis rose grandly to the
occasion. The sa< rifice required for
the eiv -tion of the building—the pres­
ent administration building was so
heavy at lhe time that it came like
their very in-arts' blood from the mak­
ers o f the » allege, but it came.
in 1883 the then ‘‘agricultural col­
lege” as such ceased to exist, blit in
Ity stead was born the Oregon St a to
Agricultural college. IIow fitting then
that this decisive point in the develop­
ment o f the institution should be cele­
brated at tlds time! The infant of
twenty-five years ago has, become a
potent educational factor o f today. \
few comparisons o f its past and pres­
ent s< ope and usefulness to the citi­
zens of this state will be apropos just
here. The first graduating class num­
bered three; the class of 1010 will in­
clude approximately l ”n. The faculty
from three hi 1807 has grown to nine­
ty-two In. 15)10. The proud old "ad”
building, born a quarter o f a century
ago, now has seventeen descendants.
From the four courses then taught—
namely, agriculture, mechanic arts,
household science and general science
—have developed twenty-six thorough­
ly equipped departments, which offer
scientific training in as many branches
of industry as well as an education o f
culture and refinement. Ten or twelve
years ago only a limited number of
students could take advantage o f gra­
tuitous instruction at the Oregon Agri­
cultural college. These came from each
senatorial and representative district
of the* state. All others paid tuition.
Tofiay uny person may avail himself
of the opportunities offered at the Ore­
gon Agricultural college free o f charge.
From twenty-three students in 18(17
the enrollment has grown to over 1,500
In 1010, including representatives of
eight different countries and several
states of the Union.
The < iregon Trunk I.ine has
placed an order for .S(M*,000 pieces
of railroad lies to be used iu con­
struction of the line into central
Oregon. This is said to be the
largest single order ever placed by
a railroad within the state at one
time. The order was booked by
the I'. L. Botsford Lumber com­
pany, with offices in this city and
a small mill at Cottage Grove, but
the ties will be furnished by a
number of mills in that district.
Live hundred thousand pieces of
cross ties represent almut 16,000,-
000 feel of lumber, board measure­
ment. The ties are to be distribu-
ated as required in the construct­
ion o f the road towards Klamath
halls. The llarriuian lines plac­
ed an order for 300,000 pieces of
cross ties with the Lewis River

last week, but a large portion of
this order goes to California.
About two weeks ago the llarri-
nian lilies ordered 200,000 pieces
of cross ties from the association
that handles the output of the
Lewis river mills.— Portland Jour­
