The accompanying rut illustrates ths massive size of the proposed building to be on the O. A. C. campus
to commemorate the active part Oregoa heroes played in the Spanish-American and World wars. The building
will tower I KO feet high and will be AX) 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 student and alumni activities and
organizations. More than lialf of the total $300,000 needed for construction is now raised.
The O. A. C. Memorial union cam*
paign to provide $500,0X1 needed to
construct a building which will be a
permanent memorial to the college
and state heroes of the Spanisn-
Amrrieau and World wars and to
house all student and alumni activi
ties on the (I. A. C. campus, has Ireea
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 by
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 $l(»<) on the second day of
the drive Alumni in Portland liave
responded with more than $25,(XX) and
the campaign is now reaching into the
smaller cities and communities of the
state.
The great Memorial union project
will seek to draw together the four
component parts of the college: stu
dents. alumni, faculty and friends. It
will be a great gathering place for
college interests, a magnet to attract
students and alumni in all walks of
life and a melting |x>t to create a col
lege democracy, say those in charge.
Iziyalty of individual students and
alumni, who mortgaged their future
earning power to help pay hack to
their alma mater jsart 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-
feraia pledged $1000 to the cause and
many contributions of $250 and more
were received.
M>re than $325,000 of the total is
new subscribe'! and construction on
the building will liegin in the late sum
mer of 1925 and will be completed by
the fall term of 1926, according to
present plans. Alumni are organized,
not only in Oregon but in Washing
tow, California. Hawaii, and many
eastern states where former students
are located.
The building will have rooms for
student activities, faculty meetings,
assembly halls for large gatherings,
trophy rooms where athletic awards
of the Varsity "O" association may
be permanently kept, shop rooms for
the building of campus dramatic pro
ductions anti many other tvpes of
rooms. All the indent publication
will be housed in the new building
which will be a big advancement of
the old inadequate system of publica
lion offices scattered over the entire
campus.
“The Memorial union building 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-
tiosial purposes. The Memorial union
building is being built without cost to
the state, which is an important fea
ture in Oreg rm's educational pro-
gram.
Of 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 well-appointed theater
where campus productions, lyceum
numbers and other forms of enter
tainment may be given for the campus
from time to time. A pipe-organ will
lx- installed in the theater which will
adjoin an immense rotunda where stu
dent and alumni gatherings may be
arranged.
Since the announcement that a class
II, StXKwatt broadcasting station will
I k 1 installed at (). A. C., an effort is
being made to tie up the activities of
the Memorial union with this feature.
The c< liege is host t<> many speakers
of national repute and authorities on
educational, scientific and economic
subjects. In addition the Ivceum num
bers bring artists of international
fame to the campus. In the past few
years such singers as Geraldine Far
rar and Madame Schumann-Heink;
Mischa Elman and Ema Rubinstein,
violinists, and many others have been
entertainers on the campus. The high-
powered broadcasting station will
make their artistry available to the en
tire state.
A massive entrance to the building
will lead into the main lobby to be
called "Memorial Hall.” Finest ex
amples of art and sculpture will dec
orate the hallway. Leaning back from
it will be the rotunda, where alumni
gatherings will often lie held and
where from 500 to 800 persons may
be served at special banquets and
luncheons for which the college tea
room is inadequate.
A cafeteria for student' and faculty
is another feature planned for the new
building, which is expected to be
ready for the use of the campus one
year from next fall.
