The latter is governed by the Constitution of the Student Body, adopted in 1906. The marked growth of the College is due in a great measure to the active ability of the men who have stood at her helm. With such men as the scholarly Arnold, the genial Bloss, the cordial, sturdy Miller, the firm, conservative Catch as President, the institution has not wanted for champions. President Kerr, who has presided for the last year, is plainly a leader of men, and a man who “does things.” With such an able man in the executive chair, the near future of O. A. C. promises to be a bright one. Waldo Hall and the Mechanical Arts buildings are completed and in use. The erection of a new Armory and other buildings are assured within the next year. The standard of the College has been raised one year, placing it on a par with that of any university or college in the Northwest. Several new courses are promised which will open up a broad field for specialization. It is only giving due credit to dear old 0. A. C. to say, that she is accomplishing a noble work. She has fitted hundreds of Oregon’s citizens for industrial and cultured pursuits, and thereby contributed to the general welfare of the state. Oregon Agricultural College is without doubt a strong factor in a movement toward an enlightened age. O. A. C. Campus and Buildings 1908

ALUMNI HE STANDING of an educational institution is best measured by the character of its Alumni. When so measured, the Oregon Agricultural College may well be proud of her work, for her Alumni occupy positions of trust and honor throughout the United States and its possessions. Many are engaged in manufacturing, in scientific farming; some hold commissions in the army in the Philippine service, and others are taking up advanced work in the large technical schools of the East. In all walks of life they are found ever in the van of industrial activity and progress. They are active in all their enterprises and become prosperous, contented citizens, of whom their state and Alma Mater are justly proud. OFFICERS OF THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION. Pres, Mrs. C. M.
