E ENDOWNIENT I if GREAT ENDOWMENT CAMPAIGN in the interest of Willamette University is now in progress. The -prime mover in the securing of a large Endowment for Wil- lamette University is the Honorable'R. A. Booth, of Eugene, Oregon. He has constantly inspired other men to believe that the great need of the University is an adequate Endowment. ln April, 1910, he made a great proposition to the friends of Willamette University. He announced that he would give S100,000 if SlS325,000 more was secured in order to give the University an Endowment of 3500,000, and provide 350,000 additional with which to begin an Auditorium that should be a memorial building for all the pioneers of Oregon. This proposition of Mr. Booth attracted at- tention throughout all the United States and in fact through all world-wide Methodism. Soon after Mr. Booth had made his proposition Mr. James J. Hill, President of the Great Northern Railroad, came to Salem and immediately fell in love with the strategic location of Willam- ette University. In conversation with President Homan in May, 1910, he said that he was a great friend of Denominational Colleges and believed in them as character- builders. He further informed President Homan that he intended to help him in the Endowment Campaign. In December, 1910, he again visited Salem and was again approached by President Homan concerning the matter of Endowment. He said in the course of the conversation that he would give 350,000 to Willamette University. In January the prop- osition was received from Mr. Hill and the following is a ver- batim copy of his letter: R. Booth
