Pillars in front on Eaton Hall on September 4, 2006
In front of Eaton Hall are these pillars, which were gifts to the university from the Class of 1915. The pillar on the left features a plaque that was donated by graduated of Willamette University in the medical profession in honor of the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of Willamette University's Medical College and the service of the doctors educated in it. Willamette University established its Medical College in 1867. It was the first medical school in the Pacific Northwest and the third west of St. Louis. The Medical College merged with the University of Oregon School of Medicine in Portland in 1913, and was consolidated on the Portland campus. The plaque dates from about 1967, and features an image of a pioneer saddlebag doctor by Gerald D. Kessel.
