Student Administration • Maintaining the dignity and prestige of our institution with the customs that have become traditional through the years of her existence, the administration of student affairs becomes ever of more interest to the group which functions in this regard. Wisdom and integrity on the part of the administration is the keynote to the ultimate cooperation thus acquired within the student body, with the utmost respect for that group whose aim it must be to care for the diversified interests of the school at large. Careful planning of curricula,- keen insight in student affairs; wisdom and constructive inspiration in their advice, and an everlasting regard for the principles upon which Oregon State college is founded are the aims of those who have been chosen in the true merit of their worth to best maintain the high-mindedness and to gain world-wide acknowledgment of the undergraduates whose student activity has been centered here. • Some have been here long, others are here today and gone tomorrow. Yet throughout the years the unselfish motives and influential personalities have established their mark in the portals of pride which are well-founded and beyond the scope of oblivion. • Many of the accomplishments of Oregon State s graduates, much of their personal success and a large share of their affection may well be attributed to those who incorporate their personalities, who spend their greatest effort and who faithfully labor to further establish the ideals of our school—the administration.

Portland Rose Festival Officially inaugurated in 1907, the Portland Rose Festival really had its origin many years before in 1889 when the Portland Rose Society held its first annual exhibit of roses For several seasons the now-famous Festival was nothing more than a Rose Show each spring until the initial floral parade was sponsored by the society in the spring of 1904. • A far cry from the elaborately decorated floats of pageants which feature Festival week was this first parade that wended its way through the streets. However, decorated vehicles—bicycles, surreys, phaetons and carryalls— were plentiful as well as a feature exhibit of four decorated automobiles. • With this successful beginning members of the club and other sponsors worked unsuccessfully for such a parade as one of the highlights of the Lewis and Clark exposition in 1905. After this set-back the matter simmered until the spring of 1907 when far-seeing civic leaders backed not only a floral parade but also a two-day Rose Festival, the first of its kind in Portland. • Besides the brilliant floral parade which featured the first human rosebud’ march of nearly 2000 school children, a gorgeous rose and floral exhibit was held in the old forestry building. A total of $4000.00 in prize money was distributed. As a result, so popular had the Festival proved to be, thaf on June 27, 1907, articles of incorporation were filed at Salem by the Rose Festival association in which the purpose to hold an annual Rose Fete were declared.
