Qsi Q1 bk 4 :3 i q t C??? WIS . 4:3 ' 3;? 0.91m Euilhingz Each has a soul of its own. Our buildings are not mere strUctures of stone, iron and cement. To each there has been imparted the hopes, courage, Vision and spirit of sacrifice of the builders. There has been left by the succeeding generations of students the traces of their aspirations, efforts and the spirit of youth. And out of all these has grown a soul that makes of each building a living thing, and a friendly presence. i When we look at old Deady, we see not a mass of stone overrun by ivy, but we see in its tall, straight lines and dignified entrance, the simplicity and earnestness of those who built it. It was not an easy matter in those early days to erect a building as large as this was then considered. It was paid for entirely by subscrip- tion. The people of Eugeneathen a tiny Villagee-and Lane county 'could give little money, so they donated labor, building material, board for workers, anything they had to give, in order to make possible this building which was to be the beginning of a State University. Its com- pletion in 1876 meant more than sawing the last plank and driving the last nail. It was a personal Victory for each person Who had sacrificed for it, and it was the beginning of a new epoch for education in Oregon. Villard was the next building. N amed after the builder of the N orth- ern Pacific railroad, the greatest individual donor to the Universityis en- dowment, it stands as the second milestone in the march of progress. It is the embodiment of dreams and Visions toward a tiGreater Oregonii. McClure Hall was another step forward. It was named in memory of Dr. Edgar McClure, who lost his life on one of our mountain tops. Into it went the best of equipment, plans for greater service and usefulness to the state. I And so on down through the years the buildings have appeared. Each has been built to answer a certain need. Into each has gone the vigor, ideals, the life of those who conceived it. . Our latest building, Susan Campbell Hall, represents years of work, discouragements overcome and the vision and unselfishness of the ones who have made it possible. Withithis background its raw newness will soon disappear, and give place with use to the spirit of her for whom it is namedethe spirit of courage, simplicity and friendliness. k K Kxf X rv, h t; Ff: l .

And the sweetest dreams in all this world Are dreams of Oregon. Once again I turn in fancy To those days of long ago, I can see the teams before me Winning fame and glory for the thll; I can see the college rallies, Where they sang of victories won, And the sweetest dreams in all this world Are dreams of Oregon. Oh, those days at Oregon! They are the best of all, Those dear old days at Oregon Are past but oft recalled; And yet in fancy I return To those good times for which I yearn, I want a shady place By the old mill race At dear old Oregon.
