Aa Epom In the History of Taclflc lulreraltj. An event that ahsorbed the attention of the entire ltoiiula tion more than any eoinuience ment lias yet been able to do, wan the dedication of Marsh Hall, on September 27th, at Forest Grove. The day was perfect and the people of that school town were in a flutter of excitement from early morn. The students, decorated with red anil black ribbon, met the visitors at the railway station and escorted them to the college chiiiM-l, where, at 10 o'clock a. ni., they, with the town, sat or stood, as the opportunity ottered, while the literary exercises of the dedication were delivered. Iu this report a short chapter of the history of Tualatin Academy and Pacific University is introduced. It is clipped from Geo. II. Himes' report, published in the Oretfonian. The historian, seakifij; of Marsh Hall, which the ceremonies were to dedicate, says: "It marked the culmination of an educational movement practically begun iu 1840, when Rev. Harvey Clark, of Chester, Vermont, started fur Oregon to engage in mission work, accompanied by his wife, a graduate of Olierlln, Ohio. While the idea of a school was iu his mind at the beginning, it did not take lefinitefurm until 18-15 when with the assistance of Mrs. Tahitha Brown 'Grandma Brown' a small school was established in a log cabin. This was maintained for the most part until 1848, when, on September 21 and 22, at Oregon City, a few weeks after the arrival of Itev. George H. Atkinson, who had re ceived a suggestion from tho Ameri can College & Education Hwiety to plant an academy, in company Willi others, it was resolved to found an academy at this point, and Itev. Harvey Clark, Hiram Clark, I. II. Hatch, Kev. Ij. Thompson, W. II. Gray, Alvan T. Smith, Itev. G. II. Atkinson, Junes Mooru and O. Kuscll were elected a Isiard of trus tees. Itev. Harvey Clark was elected president, Alvan T. Smith, treasurer, ami Itev. G. II. Atkinson secretary, which position he held for 40 years. September 2!), Ix4!, tills received a charter I'n.m tho territorial legisla ture, and whs called Tualatin acad emy, and a board of trustees elected, Willi Itev. Harvey Clark president, Hon. Alanson Hinman, one of the original trustees and the only one now living, is now president of the board. Mr. Clark gave 200 acres of Ills laud claim to shirt an endowment, and after wanlri added 150 acres more for the same purpose. Besides this, lie assisted largely witli his own means in securing material for the original academy building, which is still standing and in daily use. Others notably Itev. Elkanah Waiker and Itev. Cashing Mis materially aided the enterprise by valuable donations of land, and lr. Atkinson gave much time to its interest-!. In 1S52 he went East, via the Isthmus, on behalf of the institu tion, and induced Itev. Sidney liar jut .Marsh to come out the fol lowing year and assume the presi dency of the embryo college. In January, 154, a new charter was grauted, and "Timlatin Academy and I'm-ilie University," as it is now known, w as created. "For 2"i years President Marh de voted the entire energies of his body and mind to hisihoseu work, and never ceasul his efforts until death coucluili'd Ills labors, in 1579. To his high scholarship, his great foresight, his untiring energy, and undaunted courage, is largely due the high rank the institution has always held. The adequate portrayal of the self-saeritlcing and devoted life of President Marsh in promoting the object ol his life-work will make as bright and honorable a page in the history of American education as i-an be written. 'UKin the foundation he was chiefly instrumental in laying, his successors carried on the work with varitsl success until lslil, w hen Ifc'V. Thomas .McClelland, 1. !., of Tabor, Iowa, tavame president. He saw at once that if the college was to main tain its prestige, a forward move ment was Imperative. To this he bent hi fiirrgiea with con-uniinale wisdom and rare shill, and results have lam accomplished far lieyond the exfss-tationsof the most sanguine. Bvautiful and enduring as the new- building is, w hich hits been erected at fiit of t2,ik) in these times of financial disturbance, and all paid fur alone lasting ami most excel lent monument to the energy and capacity of Hr. McClelland It does not make the college. That is the mere husk which encloses the kernel. The faculty and students compose the college proper, with advanced courses, largely eleetive with picked men and women from Oberlin, University ot Vermont, Williams, Princeton, Beloit, Uni versity of Michigan, Tabor, Weilesley and Grinnel In th faculty, with the largest number of students in its career, with a loyal alumni, largely occupplug honorable and important positions in the different phases of lite up and down this coast, and even in other parts of this nation, also in foreign lands, Pacific University stands on foundations as lasting as time, fid on the threshold of a greatly enlarged sphere of usefulness to tjie individual, to the state, to the nation, thus beginning to assume proportions commensurate with the dreams and noble ideals of Its found ers Clark, Atkinson and Marsh than whom no more honorable names will ever grace the pages of Pacific coast history." At the appointed hour the spacious chapel was packed. Dr. McClelland called to order. While a hush was settling on the audience, the choir sang. Pastor Itogers, of Forest Grove Congregational church, Invoked the divine blessing ujmhi the exercises an J the school. MAYOR HUGHES' ADDRESS. Mayor Hughes, on behalf of the city In welcoming the visitors said: "Mr. President, Ladies and Gentle men; It Is a source of great personal gratification to have the honor, on behalf of the people of Forst Grove and the faculty and trustees of Tuala tin Academy and Pacific University, of extending to all visitors a hearty welcome to Forest Grove on the preseut occasion. "The construction of Marsh memo rial hall, under existing circumstances and conditions, is a matter worthy of pecial note and congratulation. It is a well-known fact that the country is passing through one of the greatest financial depressions known in the history of the entire nation, affecting adversely every section, industry and interest of the entire country. The completion of an improvement of this kind, under the circumstances, evi- deii'vs the pluck, energy and perse verance f those having the work in hand, and may lie regarded as an itxlex to subsequent actions on the mrt of those Intrusted with the great work or which this Is simply a beginning. 'It is entirely unnecessary, on my part, to say anything In reference to the past history of the Institution or its work. This Is well known through its alumni and students, who are located throughout the great North west, and occupy high and honorable positions in every department of life, and furnish ample evidence of the thorough character of the work of the institution in all its various depart ments. The dedication of this building nirirks an epoch in the history of Forest Grove, whose interests are identical with and inseparable from those of the Institution. And, while the board of trustees and faculty have pushed their work with such marked energy and success, the people in the city have not been idle spectators, but have been advancing on a steady and progressive step, unaffected by the Influence of any boom or undue excitement whatever. The improve ments within the last two years have been marked, and are the subjects of many congratulations. Quite a number of fine residence buildings have been erected. Some very cred itable business blocks have lieen added to the business portion of the city. The public streets have been greatly Improved and new sidewalks placed in siion. We have in operation an electric-light plant, second to none In the slate, with sufficient capacity to meet all the requirements ot the city for a num ber of years. Also a local telephone system, connecting many residences, and those w 1th nearly every business house in the city, also connecting with the town of Greenville on the north and Gales City, Wilson Kivcr, Tillamook and Buy City on the west. 'We have also determined, by vote of the people, on the construc tion of a water plant of sulllcient capacity to supply the city with good and wholesome water for Isith public and private use, and for lietter pro tection against fire. 'When all the contemplated im provements are complete, and our population augmented by that class of nple who always cluster around institution of (earing, we hope to lie able to Utwst of one of the mot lieautiful, healthful and desirable residence cities in the great North west. "And now, thanking you for the lt$Diior of your presence, I again ex tend to you the freedom of our city." MR. iHOTT'h RKmPOMsE. At the conclusion of the applause, chairmen MeClellan Introduced Hun II. W. Scott, editor and half owner of the Oregonian, who, a the fir-t graduate of the college, was to respond to Mayor Hughes' welcome. Mr. Scott is a familiar figure to all citi zens of Forest Grove except the very recent ones. and the welcome be re ceived was most flattering. He said: " 'Tls SO years, or nearly, since the effort began to build here a seat of learning, devoted to the highest and best purposes of education, accomo dated to the needs of our ow n time, and consecrated to an idea of the wants of coming ages. Such a plant is necessarily of slow grow th. It cannot be created at once; It must be founded in its own work, must grow In the soil It finds In the character of the community or state, assimilated unto its surroundings, and assimilating to itself all that it finds in the life or the people, that can be wrought Into its own being. Otherwise, it Is but au alien to the soil. "This sort of growth Pacific Uni versity has. With the growth of the state, it ha laid deeper and deeper the foundations of its own work. Nothing has been done In a fitful or showy way. Solidity is the basis of Its character. It has grown, as Hor ace says of the fame of a great though unpretentious man of his own coun try, like a strong and mighty tree through the silent lapse of years. Nor has It grown merely In outward flourish or display. It has grown in character and spirit, and inward strength, in the retinluig and elevat ing influences which it has exerted, and which in their turn have reacted upon itself; In the general character of its work and (may we say it?) in the work done by the men and women whom it ha sent forth to the world. It has not affected greatness in its buildings; and has been a long time getting those good structures with which it is now at last provided; but it long sinoe built name and rep utation and character, to which it has constantly added. Here I may illus trate by quotation from an author of keenest spiritual insight, the greatest of moral writers: For nature, ereacent. doea not grow alone In tliews and bulk; but aa tun Win lie wal a. The in anl aervlce of tba mind and aoul tirowt wide withal , "Such Is the school at whose mem orial exercises we apjiear today. This is Marsh memorial day. We utter a reverend name. It was a courageous undertaking for a young man to come Into a remote and sparsely populated country to build an institution of higher learning. It was lr. Atkinson, our missionary pioneer of blessed memory, who di rected tho attention of Sidney II. Marsh to Oregon. Here at Forest Grove already was an academy, the best -known school of Oregon. It owed its existence chiefly to Rev Itarvey Clark, another of those great spirits who do good for the world without thought for themselves. His donation land claim was largely given up for the purposes of the school. We, the older alumni, well rememlter the benignity of his coun tenance, his noble self-forget fulness, his words of kindness and encourage. ment, his assistance and advice in our studies, his benefactions to all about him, in a thousand ways. The academy had an excellent name, It Was successful and prosperous; but the field for higher work was yet small, and Mr. Marsh entered it alone. In himself ho was the faculty of the university, the president and the occupant of the chairs of all the professors. Iater, Professor Lyman, who might almost be called the spir itual and intellectual father of many of us, came to his aid; but amid the discouragements of the time there were but few students who could un dertake and pursue regular courses so necessary was time for manual la bor to provide for the needs of the passing day. Most, therefore, drop ped out or shortened the course. The difficulties, indeed, were great, but the courage and constancy of Dr. Marsh never forsook him. While at work in Oregon he was incessantly at work also among hia friends In the East, to get help and add to the en dowment; and the result of these la bors is the basis on which the Pacific University stands to-day. No ad versity could daunt hi spirit. His health, never firm, at last grew deli cate, but he worked with an unceas ing devotion, construing for his stu dents passages In Thucrdides and Horace, reducing mathematical dif ferentials, milking his cows, lectur ing on metaphysics or preaching from various pulpits, all with an un tiring ardor. Those who were near him remember how at last, through the disease that pursued him, his voice sank to a whisper and his breath grew short, yet he bated not one jot of heart or hope, but premed right onward. But a few days be fore his death, he was in Portland on business kfor the university, and re. plied to one who remonstrated with him that there was all the more need for him to be alert in his work, for his time was short. Happy are we to be able to say that, though he rests from his laliors, his works do follow hinat "The past, as associated with his name, is a sacred memory; it makes the present a duty, the future an inspiration. "Here I wish to say a word about our home institutions of learning. They must always lie the resource of the greater number of our youth. A few universities or colleges in the great centers of population will not suffice. The centralization of educa tion cannot produce the highes civili zation in a republic. We want these home colleges, and must sustain them for a double reason. Only a few persons can a fiord to go to the distaut universities, and we cannot allow ourselves to disregard the influ ence of the local college Ukju our home environment. Besides, 1 fully believe that, as a rule, the education that will best fit us for duties among the people with whom we must live and work is nut to bo had far from home. "Moreover, I believe that this edu cation away from home, instead of enlarging the horizon of the mind, tends rather to narrow It and make it provincial. It concentrates the mind too much upon the special lo cality, upon the thought and ways and methods and habits of the gn at center of population, and shuts out the whler view of the world at large. It may seem a paradox to say that the provincial mind Is developed in these conditions, but I believe that Is true. I believe that, as a rule, our young people will have juster and broader views of the world of affairs if educated in Oregon than if t-ent to Harvard or Columbia. From our station here we can see the just pro portions of things more clearly, and we avoid the risk of losing our adapt ability to our situation and to tiie work it requires. I think it is a mis take not to stand by our own colleges. We occupy heights here from which we can give our youth a survey ot literature, science, history and the world of affairs. 'I think it is those w ho have had most experience with our colleges of Oregon who are most disposed to up hold and support them; while those who have had least experience with them are those most disiioscd to doubt whether any gmsl tiling can come out of Nazareth. "We need, must have, must sus tain these local institutions, to create an atmosphere of culture at home, This quality never can be imported. It must lie home-made. The agencies that produce It are always local. They issue from our academical cen ters. They are felt throughout the country Inversely as the square of the distance, and this Is the reason why I cannot think, as some do, that we have too many of these local colleges, Better, say some, that we should have one great central institution in the state than such a number of local schools, all struggling for existence. It seems to me this is a mistaken judgment. laOcal contact between institution and jople Is indispensa hie. Hence the argument for vigor ous support of country colleges grows more and more impressive as new areisinthis new country gradually fill with population. "We can, indeed, no more dccnd on the distant newspaper. A journal published in New York or Boston might be more satisfactory to some of us in a certain way, but there never would be found in it what we must wanted. It would lack the touch, the quality of life, the adapta tion of universal principles, to our situation and surroundings. "Every great and larmanent thing is small and humble in its la-ginning. I find record of a time and it was not so very long ago when the pride of Dartmouth was a single large wooden building, such us we may suppose to have lam erected as bar racks for soldiers, l'K) feet long and 00 feet wide, English grammar and arithmetic were textbooks in the sophomore year. Princeton, the greatest Presbyterian college, was a huge stone edifice, its faculty consist ing of a president, vice-president, one professor, two masters of languages. and 70 students. Harvard had four brick buildings; the faculty consisted of a president and six professors, and in Its halls thronged l.'lo to 100 stu dents. Yale boasted of one brick building and a chatcl, 'with a st-ple 12.1 feet high.' The faculty was a president, a professor of divinity and three tutors. The greatest Episcopal college in the United States was Wil liam and Mary's. It had been under royal and state patronage, and was, therefore, more substantially favonsl than most of our American school. At this time, it is said in a curious old state rei-rt, the college was a building of three stoiies, 'like a brick kiln,' and had 30 gentlemen students. The students lodged in dormitories, ate at the commons,' and were aiti.- fied with what we would call prison diet. Breakfast, a small can of cof fee, a biscuit, about an ounce of but ter. Dinner, one pound of meat, two potatoes and some vegetables. Sup per, bread and milk. The only un limited supply furnished was cider. which was ajed in a can from mouth to mouth. The days were spoken of as boil day, roast day, slew- day, and so on. 'It will not Is? pretended, I think, that these colleges, In those days, did not send out able and well-equipped men. I would not undervalue a great school; and yet It should not be overlooked, as many are apt to do, that the key of success is not furnish ed by the school that one attends, but Is in the man himself. "Our alumni, and the alumni of all the other schools of Oregon, have a luty to perform in this matter of commending and upholding the edu cational institutions of our state, iu Insisting and maintaiuiug that they are best, on the whole, for the educa tional Institutions of our state, in In sisting and maintaining that they are the best, on the w hole, for the educa tion of youth, and in spreading the idea that we owe it to our own peo ple and to their future welfare to build up, through these schools, an influence among us that never can be had here, if we educate our youth abroad. "I was first here 40 years ago. The change here since then has corre sponded with the general change of the country, and has kept full pace with it. There has been outward improvement and Inward growth. Tho work of nearly SO years lien In this foundation. The structure is ris ing upon it. Fame that is based on earnestness, on character, on solid achievement, fame that 'Uvea and spreads abroad by those pure eyes and perfect witness of all-judging love' Is the test to which an institu tion may proudly point an institu tion that does Its work through dif ferent hands as generations come and go, and, with its work, belongs to the community, to the state, to mankind, as a pTKsesriion forever." MR, tongue's addrkss. The formal address for the alumni was made by Hon. Thos. H. Tongue, of Washington county, a member of the 1808 class. While Mr. Scott is recognized as tho most vigorous Jour nalist of the state, Mr. Tongue Is rec ognized as being the most brilliant orator In tho state and the one grad uate who has devoted any considera ble time to the study of the material interest of the commonwealth. Mr. Tongue said : Mr. Pkehiiikxt, La dim and Gk.nti.kmen : 1 have been asked to say a few words on behalf of the alumni of Pacific University. "I am expected In some measure to voice the feelings and reflections of those, who were a part of the old, to which we are bidding farewell, a they contemplate, the new, which wo welcome with outstretched hands. "From crowded city, from rural village, from fertile plain, front varying pursuits and occupations, we are called to re-vlslt the scenes, where in early life, we struggled with varying results, and where we laid the foundation of whatever measure of success or failure has since fallen to our lot. "We come to rejoice with you, and to participate in, and commemorate an event in the history of Pacific University, second only in import ance to that of its birth. As chil dren, we have been recalled to the maternal home by a devoted mother, to witness the new honors that clus ter around her head, and behold her maternal brow wreathed with new crowns. We come to witness the end of the old, the beginning of the new. "To-day marks an important epoch in the lif story ol this institution. It is a milestone in its progress. It places Pacific University in the front rank of Western institutions of learning. It marks and crowns past achievement, while revealing the future full of promise. In the depth and breadth and solidity of Its foun dation; in beauty, uprightness and grandeur of structure, we trust the Unutifui building we dedicate to-day will be typical of tho mental ami moral character of the future children of our Alma Mater. "It Is well there should be rejoicing. not only in Forest Grove, not only among teachers and students, not only among the friend of Pacific University, but among the friends of education, and the lovers of progress, everywhere. We should hi-ar sweet music, merry volets, and the clasp of hand should express our happiness at the event we this day coin mem orate. To those who left the mater nal roof a quarter of a century or more ago, there Is strong desire to indulge in reminisrenses, to recall events, interesting only to those who were a part of them. But I must resist this temptation, and let reflec tion take the place of memory. "While I would not detract in the slightest degrH from your Joyous- ncss, I trust you will pardon me, If I suggest, how In my Judgment, the cause of our rejoicing may la? per-M-tuated and increased. It is rare, where success does not lay Increase of lalsir, where change of condition does not require change of action; w here enlarged opportunitie do not entail enlarged responsibilities. I want, therefore, for a few momr-nU to suggest the question, whether the very cause of this rejoicing, and the changed condition brought about by Cinhri'ifd on fourth Pit'j'.,
