Then Milla suddenly leaves town.

Scholarship
Tribute to
MarySpiller

Mary Putnam Spiller, for whom
the Mary Spiller scholarship O
the University of Oregon wa
named and which is always aug
mented at this season of the yea,
by incoming alumnae of the uni
versity, was a relative of promi
nent Salem people. She was a sis
ter OF Judge Reuben Boise and al
aunt of Reuben Boise, of Salem
Whitney Boise Of Portland, anC
Mrs. ]. H. Lauterman, of Salem
Mrs. Spiller was the first wo
man instructor in University Of
Oregon and to her memory Mary
Spiller hall on the campus there
was erected. Later this gave
place to Hendricks hall and the
scholarship, supported by Univer.
sity of Oregon alumnae, is the on
ly monument to the memory OF
Mrs. Spiller. Every woman who Is
graduate Of the University OF
Oregon is eligible to membership
in the Alumnae association, the
main purpose of which is to sup
port the scholarship consisting OF
room and board at Hendricks
hall for one year. Any girl grad
uate of an accredited Oregon high
school may apply for the scholar
ship.
During the past year the schol
arship amounted to $272. Gifts to
the scholarship amounted to
$71.15. Gifts to the scholarship
fund, to be placed in a savings
account, have amounted to $405.
The Home Science club, Of Eu-
gene, donated $500, Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Chambers, of Eugene, $1O0
and five dollars was an anony-
nous gift.
Mary Putnam Boise Spiller
lived in Baton Rouge, Louisiana,
until the close of the civil war
when her husband, a wealthy
planter, passed away. Leaving her
little son and daughter with her
parents, she came to Oregon in
1875 to be with her brother,
Judge Boise, who came to Salem
in 1852. In 1877 she began teach
ing in the University of Oregon
as principal Of the preparatory
department and professor of elo-
cution and held the position un-
til 1887. During her residence at
Eugene, both Mrs. Spiller's chill
dren passed away, Boise, the son,
at the age Of 19 years and Reu-
bena, the daughter, at the, age of
"a years. Reubena graduated from
the university and later from
Wllesley. Mrs. Spiller passed
away in Eugene September 2,
1901.
Mary Spiller hall was built on
the campus in 1908 to perpetuate
Mrs. Spiller's residencet, and ac-
cording to a plan of housing wo-
men students in cottages. The
plan was later revised and the
large dormitory called Hendricks
hall was built, thus depriving
Mrs. Spiller's residence, and ac-
scholarship was first awarded in
1912.
