This year we celebrate something even more important than the beginning of our academic year. We celebrate the 125th anniversary of the University of Oregon. Milestones have a way of inspiring celebration and reflection, but we celebrate more than longevity. We celebrate the difference the UO has made in the world around us. We are all here because of our top-ranked academic programs, this beautiful Northwest location, and the sense of community we maintain on campus and in the classroom. Since our founding just seventeen years after Oregon attained statehood, University of Oregon faculty members, students, staff members and alumni have alway; been people who want to make a difference. The individuals who have been a part of this university-students and alumni, teachers and researchers, scholars and staff members-have found it to be an extraordinary setting for extraordinary opportunities. As we look back let us also look forward. Let us take a few moments to think about our own pursuits and how they contribute to our global society. Let us remember that each of us can make a difference through lives transformed by knowledge. 2:-~,2:::-r- President University of Oregon Convocation Program 2:30 P.M. MAIN CEREMONY 3:30 P.M.

The position is one of honor and is traditionally held by a previous recipient of the Thomas F. Herman Faculty Achievement Award for Distinguished Teaching. UNIVERSITY MACE In medieval times the mace was usually carried into battle by kings, bishops, and other leaders for use as a weapon. Later on it came to be used more for ceremonial occasions. Today it is a symbol of authority. The mace carried by the university marshal, who leads the academic procession, was designed by the late C. Max Nixon, professor emeritus of fine and applied arts, as a gift to the university. The creative use of copper, bronze, silver, and walnut typify the spirit of the university. ACADEMIC COSTUME The history of academic dress goes back several centuries to the chilly universities where cap, gown, and hood were needed for covering and warm th. Subsequently, this has become a ceremonial costume with certain standardized features.

They thought a university would be good for the future of their children and for the future of the town-bringing both economic and social development to the community. In October 1876, the state of Oregon opened the doors of its new university, without fanfare and without an adequate budget to run it. The documentary is a joint production of the Oregon Humanities Center and of Media Services in the Knight Library. Special funding support was provided by the UO Foundation and the UO Alumni Association.

OF THE UNIVERSITY OF OREGON by Paul Stieber Five generations of leaders and citizens have studied at the University of Oregon, which opened in 1876 and celebrates its 125th anniversary in 2001-2. Founded seventeen years after Oregon became a state, the University of Oregon's enrollment has grown from 155 students to more than 18,000, including undergraduate and graduate students in nine colleges and professional schools. More than 3,500 people work at the university, including 1,400 faculty members. It is Lane County's largest employer. The Early History The University of Oregon was established by an act of the Oregon Legislative Assembly on October 12, 1872, though its founding hadn't come easily. Neither has its survival. The citizens of thinly populated Eugene and Lane County fought to locate the university and struggled to finance it. People gave money, held strawberry festivals and church socials, and sold produce. Even children helped by donating pennies. In addition to making personal contributions, the faculty took a twenty-five percent salary reduction in the Deady Hall John Wesley Johnson early years. Things were desperate by 1881, when Henry Villard­ Northern Pacific Railroad magnate and the university's first benefac­ tor-prevented the closure of the university by paying $7,000 of its $8,181.89 indebtedness. On October 16, 1876, the doors of Deady Hall opened to 155 students and five faculty members. William Scott was the first student to register at the university. John Wesley Johnson (1876-93) served as the first president and as professor of Greek and Latin. During its early years, the university offered a classical education patterned on the traditions of Harvard and Yale. Students took Latin, Greek, mathematics, philosophy, and science. But with growth the demand for a broader curriculum was met by additional scientific and professional courses. Members of the first graduating class in June 1878 were Robert S. Bean, Nellie Condon, Matthew S. Wallis, George S. Washburne, and John C. Whiteaker. University Boom The 1900 appointment of Prince Lucien Campbell as the university's fourth president marked a turning point in the university's history. Serving as president from 1902 to 1925, Campbell transformed the University of Oregon from a relatively provincial institution into a modern university. During his tenure, the university's budget grew from $47,500 to more than $700,000. Through use of special appropriations, gifts, and money from the mileage tax, Campbell increased the number of campus buildings from six to twenty­ one. Student enrollment grew from 345 to 3,200, and the size of the faculty in­ creased from two dozen to 142. Campbell Prince Lucien Campbell was also the first president to pursue with any lasting success the goal of private funding and the building of an endowment. The university did lose its nationally acclaimed Department of Engineering and Mines to Oregon Agricultural College (now Oregon State University) during Campbell's tenure, but it 10 rebounded by creating the School of Architecture in 1914. The architecture school wasn't the only professional school created during Campbell's tenure. Shortly after his arrival in 1902, the School of Music was established. The year 1910 saw the creation of a School of Education. The School of Commerce (now the Charles H. Lundquist College of Business) followed in 1914. The law department moved to Eugene from Portland in 1915 and was made a school. The School of Journalism was established in 1916, and Eric W. Allen-who came to the university in 1912 from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer to head the infant journalism program-was named its first dean. One of Campbell's boldest moves was the creation in 1920 of the School of Health and Physical Education, the first in the nation. President Arnold Bennett Hall (1926-32) succeeded Campbell as president and took steps to continue the prosperity the university enjoyed under Campbell. Under his watch, Oregon granted its first doctoral degree and completed construction of McArthur Court. The university was also successful in fending off an effort that would have closed its doors. State voters in 1932 overwhelmingly defeated the Arnold Bennett Hall Zorn-Macpherson bill, which would have moved the UO's liberal arts curriculum to Corvallis and combined it with that of Oregon State Agricultural College. Under that plan, the university in Eugene would have become a teachers' college. President Clarence Valentine Boyer (1934-37) was a professor of English and dean of arts and letters before assuming the presidency following Hall. Leading the university through the middle of the Great Depression, he managed to secure federal funds to build Clarence Valentine Boyer the library, physical education building, infirmary, and Howe baseball field. Donald M. Erb (1937-43), one of Boyer's freshman English students at the University of Illinois, succeeded him as president. Erb was thirty­ seven, and it was thought that his youth would give Oregon a president of long Donald M. Erb tenure. He promoted higher education throughout the state, saw young men and women leave for World War II, and made plans for a postwar campus, including a proposal for a student union. Erb, however, died suddenly of pneumonia before his dream was realized. He was forty-three. Recent History Nine presidents have led the University of Oregon since the Second World War. They have UNIVERSITY OF OREGON CONVOCATION presided over periods of growth and fiscal hardship while increasing the quality of undergraduate and graduate education at Oregon. At the same time, they have strengthened the university's status as the state's leader in liberal arts higher education. President Harry K.Newburn (1945-53) succeeded President Erb and guided the university through its postwar boom. In 1945 enrollment was Harry K. Newburn 1,880, and by January 1946 it was 3,396-an 81 percent increase. Campus construction also boomed. Carson Hall was built-the first new dormitory since Friendly Hall in 1893-as were housing complexes for married students and returning veterans. Class space became so tight that some classes were held in Quonset huts. The music building and library received much-needed additions; the first science building was completed; and the student union, named after President Erb, was built in 1949. Newburn 0. Meredith Wilson and his successors, O.Meredith Wilson (1954-60) and Arthur S. Flemming (1961-68) advocated a greater emphasis on fundraising and the Arthur S. Flemming MAKING A DIFFERENCE FOR 125 YEARS impor­ tance of a first-rate graduate school. Their work paid off under President RobertD. Clark (1969-75) in 1971, when the University Robert D. Clark of Oregon was admitted to the highly exclusive Association of American Universities. Today the university is still just one of fifty­ nine public and private universities in the country with membership in that body, and one of only two in the Pacific Northwest. r,r-----~----. The university continued to develop under President WilliamB. Boyd (1975- 80). Boyd reorganized the central administration . . by unloading Wzllzam B. Boyd much of the day-to-day academic operations onto a provost, Paul Olum, who later became Oregon's thirteenth president (1980-89) . As provost, Olum raised the standards for faculty tenure and pushed deans and departments to raise their standards when hiring new faculty members.As president, he faced serious budget reductions and worked to stretch every Paul Olum available dollar. Moving funds to sustain quality, the university continued to hire high-quality faculty members in targeted disciplines, and the faculty made concerted efforts to apply for more federal grants and other outside funding sources. These efforts paid off when the university, with the help of Oregon's two U.S. senators, was able to tap the U.S. Department of Energy and the state legislature for money to construct new science buildings and remodel older ones on campus. The $45.6 million result provides the setting for the university's premier science programs. Much of the early 1990s at the university was spent trying to recover from the single largest budget reduction since 1929. Measure Five was approved Myles Brand by Oregon voters as a cap on and reduction of property taxes. Facing staggering budget cuts, President Myles Brand (1989-94) ultimately eliminated twenty-two degree programs and 200 faculty positions to save some $10 million and cope with the devastating effects of Measure Five. Despite such reductions, the university continues to think big. President Dave Frohnmayer (1994- present), former law school dean and Oregon attorney general, led the university through the Oregon Campaign, which raised $255.3 million. The Oregon Campaign was the most ambitious and successful private fundrajsing campaign in the history of the university and the state of Oregon. It financed the construction and renovation of several campus buildings, nearly tripled the total value of student financial aid endowments and annual gifts, and increased the twenty endowed chairs and professorships to seventy-five. The university's 295-acre campus today is an arboretum of more than 500 species and more than 2,500 specimens of trees. Campus buildings date from 1876, when Deady Hall was opened, to 1999, when the Student Recreation Center was completed. Campus athletic facilities include the 41 000-seat Autzen Stadium, the C;sanova Athletic Center, Ed Moshofsky Sports Center, Pape Field, McArthur Court, Hayward Field, Howe Field, Bowerman Family Building, and open-air, covered, and indoor tennis courts. The university has won thirteen NCAA national championships­ five men's and one women's track­ and -field titles, four men's and two women's cross-country titles, and one men's basketball championship. "The state university, if it fulfills its function, must become the center of intellectual life of the state . It has no right to exist unless it becomes the Frank Strong center of power from which radiates streams of influence touching every part of the commonwealth," wrote President Frank Strong, the university's third president, in 1899. More than 100 years later, the University of Oregon still fulfills that vision as it continues to change lives through knowledge.

John Conery Duncan McDonald Virgil Boekelheide James Crosswhite UNIVERSITY OF O REGON CONVOCATION Oregon Pledge Song Our Oregon, we pledge to thee Our honor and fidelity, Both now and in the years to be, A never failing loyalty. Fair Oregon, thy name shall be Written high in liberty. Now, uncovered, swear we every one Our pledge to Oregon. John Stark Evans, a music major at the University of Oregon, wrote the "Oregon Pledge Song" while waiting to be shipped out during World War I. When he returned in 1922, he gave the rights to the pledge song to the university. The cover shows the art used to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the university. The ivy represents the plant that was once prevalent on many university buildings. The stars represent the schools and colleges that make up the university: the College of Arts and Sciences, Graduate School, Clark Honors College, and six professional schools and colleges-the School of Architecture and Allied Arts, Charles H. Lundquist College of Business, College of Education, School of Journalism and Communication, School of Law, and School of Music. Above the 125th anniversary mark is part of a stained-glass panel that depicts the Great Seal of the university. The full panel is now located in the Johnson Hall Conference Room. Inscribed on the seal is the university's Latin motto, which means "mind moves the mass." Back cover photograph of the Deady Hall tower is used courtesy of Laura Littlejohn, School of Music.
