  • The "Lady of the Fountain" is property of the Class of 1902. Shown in the picture are: Claude F. Palmer, Alma Ethelyn Scharpf, Dean Mary A. Rolfe, (behind lady), Helen Gail Mattley, and Harold Walton Readon. The statue was stolen by U of O students and stored in a Portland basement for almost two years. Helen Mattley '22 got word of it through "devious" channels and after it was confirmed through a fake inspection by Floyd Carter '20 passing as a telephone employee. The group listed above along with Johnny Wells, campus policeman, went to Portland and brought it back. It was returned during a track meet in 1922.
