Their magnificent timber-and mines and their wonderful resources in wa-' ter power, soil and climate are their, heritage, but the University is in a cult courts in the state, the legisla ture and the professions, but it has stimulated the development of our high school system where the best resources in the state, minds of its youth, are strengthened and rendered more efficient. The University is an investment, and the high schools, for which it Is largely responsible, and life of The student body is growing and it well distributed among the coun ties. The enrollment this year, ex clusive of the law and medical de partments, lacated at Portland, is 400. At the beginning of the next semester it will be Increased to 433.

Of course, the means for sustaining it huve nearly all come through the state treasury, yet the fact r‘mains that the people of Eugene and Lane county alone were its foster parents. They sheltered It and they nurtured it into strength and activity. In its early years It was largely with the youth of Eugene and Lane county that the University was able to dem onstrate its far-reaching benlflcence. The delegations from this community to the successive legislatures have kept the slate mindful of a state sal utary interest in higher education. And the day is coming, if it is not alrtay here, when lue people of the state at large will acknowledge deep est obligations to this people for hav ing brought this institution to the stage from which from now on Its usefulness will be Incalculable.

While they were building up a University lor the state they ■were devel iping their own character, intelligence and spirit so that th“y area marked community in the state. They have grown up with the growth of the University, and constitute a natural University environment. Their early strivings »nd sacrifices for a University proved that there were In them the elements that would develop into the best home for a uni versity. However much they did for the University In the past, they long ago renounced all leading strings, or wad other strings, and are only eager that the people of the state shall avail themselves to the largest meas- tire of an Institution which, thanks to their foresight.
