The accompanying cut illustrates the massive size of the proposed budding to be on the O. A. C. ctf»pus
to commemorate the active part Orcr n heroes played in the Spanish-American and World wars. The bwiMr /
will tower 180 feet high and will be 2 ) by 200 feet. The building materials used will be such as to blend with
the present campus architecture and vet be distinctive. The building will house all ttudent and alumni activities and
-organizations. More than half—of the total $500,000 needed for construction is now raised.
The O. A. C. Memorial union cam
paign to provide $500,000 needed to
construct a building which will be a
permanent memorial to the college
and state heroes of the Spanish
American and World wars and to
house all student and alumni activi
ties on the O. A. C. campus, has been
completed among students and is
moving into different districts of the
state where alumni and friends of the
college are located.
More than half of the sum needed
was raised on the campus in an in
tensive drive of a week. Inspired fey
the record of O. A. C. and Oregon
heroes in the war, the undergraduates
and faculty of the college pledged
more than half of the total in three
days. President W. J. Kerr, who was
seriously ill at the time, sent in his
pledge of $1000 on the second day of
the drive. Alumni in Portland have
responded with more than $25,000 and
the campaign is now reaching into the
smaller citie» and communities of the
state.
‘The great Memorial unioh project
will seek to draw together the four
component parts of the college: »tu-.
dents, alumni, faculty and friendr. It
will be a great gathering place for
college interest», a magnet to attract
students and alumni in all walks of
life and a melting pot to create a col
lege democracy, say those in charge
Loyalty of individual students and
alumni, who mortgaged their future
earmtig power to help pay back to
their alma mater part of the training
received, gave an impetus to the cam
paign that makes the total objective
assured, according to campaign lead
ers. One freshman student from Cali-
.'ornia pledged $1000 to the cause and
-.any contributions qf $250 and more
vere received.
More than $325,000 of the total is
tow subscribed and construction on
he building will begin in the late sum
er of 1925 and will be completed b;
he fall term of 1926, according t<
nresent plans. Alumni are orgamze'1
not only in Oregon but in Washing
ion. California, Hawaii, and man-
•astern states where former student
tre located.
The building will have Tooms for
student activities, faculty meetings
tssembly halls for large gatherings
trophy rooms where athletic award
if the Varsity “O” association ma-
be permanently kept, shop rooms fo_
he building of campus dramatic pro
ductions and many other types of
rooms. All the student publication*-
will lie housed in the new building
which will be a big advancement of
*he old inadequate system of publica
iion offices scattered over the entire
campur..
“1 he Memorial union buildinj 1g will
release much needed class room in the
buildings provided by the state,’’ said
E. B. Lemon, registrar. “College life
is highly organized and many of the
student groups require accommoda
tions which are needed for instruc
tional purposes. The Memorial union
building is being built without cost to
the state, which is an important fea
ture in Oregon’s educational pro-
04 much interest to students and
faculty is the plan for the theater in
the building, says the governing com
mittee. One thousand persons will be
seated in the wcll-0PP°inted theater
where campus production», lycfum
numbers and other forms of enter-
tainmenf may fee given for the campus
from time to time. A pipe-organ will
be installed in. X^e theater which will
idjoin an immfepse mtùnda where Itu-
lent and alûmni gathering» may be
irranged.
Since the announcement that a das«
1, 500-watt broadcasting station wi’l
e installed St O. A. C., an effort is
being made to tie up the activities of
he Memorial union with this feature.
!'he college is host to many speakers
>f national repute and authorities on
durational, scientific and economic
objects.. In addition the lyceum num-
er» bring artists of international
ime to the campus. In the past few
ears such singers as Geraldine Far-
ar and Madame Schumann-Heiak :
discha Elman and Erna Rubinstem,
violinists, and many others have been
'ntertainers on the campus. The high-
ov ered broadcasting, station will
ake their artistry available to the en-
re state.
