Class of 1920 Drinking Fountain - 1920 - University of Oregon - Eugene, OR - Dated Architectural Structures Multifarious on Waymarking.com

Residing in front of Fenton Hall is a drinking fountain dedicated to the campus by the Class of 1920, as noted on a small, metal plaque. At the base of the fountain is another plaque that reads:

RESTORED FOR
UNIVERSITY DAY - 1997
BY THE
LANE COUNTY ALUMNI CHAPTER

What is University Day? A webpage on the UO website explains:

University Day is a campus-wide beautification event that takes place each spring. Hundreds of students, staff and faculty gather together to plant flowers, spread bark dust, and enjoy live entertainment provided by campus groups. We also invite community members to join us! The tradition dates back to 1905 as part of Junior Weekend, when projects included things such as laying the walk to Deady, followed by a "feast" given by the University women. It has always been a spirited event to prepare the University grounds for commencement ceremonies, and even though it has greatly evolved since 1905, our roots still lie in campus spirit and community service.
