THE CAMPUS BEAUTIFUL N abundance of trees, attractively grouped, pathways and lanes between the various buildings, shrubbery of different kinds, and always flowers in their appropriate seasons, enable the Oregon campus to have a distinction peculiar to itself. The wonderful Condon oaks, huge and gnarled, have about them a majesty and dignity which is reflected in the ivy-covered walls of old Deady and Villard halls. The leaves give to the buildings varied tones of color; the rich green against the gray walls gradually changes to yellow and then to the brilliant tones of orange and red, flamboyantly asserting that these grand old halls, revered by all students, form one of the iirmest ties that bind to ttOld Oregon? Pink and White roses, equal in their beauty and perfection to those Which have made Portland famed as the iiRose City? line the pathways in the spring. They sometimes begin to bloom very early and one of the most interesting sights during the snow Which whitened the campus last Winter was a number of pink rosebuds, encased entirely in ice. Yellow roses clamber up the sides of Deady Hall and the campus paths are brightened With lilacs, syringa and rhododendrons. The bronze statue, The Pioneer, presented to the University last year by Mr. Joseph N. Teal, of Portland, guards the entrance to the campus, looking With his clear, tifar-seeing eyes? past the hurrying bodies of stu- dents, into his dream-land come true. The senior fountain, Whose grace- ful falling water has been known to cool too-boisterous freshmen in the good old days; the sun-dial; the senior bench; all contribute to the charm of the campus. And lastly, but perhaps dearest to the students heart because of its many associations and memories, is the old mill race gliding between the weeping willows. ttWhile canoes are softly gliding, Through the shadows stealing, hiding, Floats a song from the old mill race, Songs of our Oregon?
