The building modernized With the best of equipment, aside from its history in the development of the school, bears record of the numerous struggles and final victories of ambitious iipre- medicsi, over those ever-to-be-remembered dog fish sharks. To him, Who at one time frequented the second-floor laboratories, those more noticeable records on walls and ceilings suggest to his memory, the knowledge obtained. thru experience, When from time to time, some promising young iichemi, engineer determined to iisee for himself, and literally raised the roof With its results, Since 1894 Marsh Hall has been the center of all activities of the school. From the days When Tualatin Academy held a place Within her walls, and the library occupied a part of the third floor, until the present time, there has always been room for any- thing that came, whether of a serious nature, or just a jolly-good- time.
