Trip Report

Ginny who grew up near the campus shared personal (The Way It Used to Be) details. Combined with Kay's knowledge from her years working at U of O, our group had a peaceful and informative tour on a very quiet campus. Cellphones were useful when we needed to know about colophones or zebrafish DNA. Who knew where there used to be a trailer court or why a building needed be replaced. Who used to swim in the women's pool in Gerlinger Hall? We especially liked the Wind Fence, the Sundial (1912), the flying ducks on three buildings, and the two sculptures by Ellen Tykeson (Opal Whitely and Luna). A few tried not to notice the weeds in the flower beds but we did notice the osprey on their nest on the U of O Law School. The osprey cam link is https://law.uoregon.edu/osprey
