Silent Film Made at the University in 1929: Ed’s Co-ed
The University of Oregon presents a silent film from 1929, titled “Ed’s Co-ed.” Following the college adventures of a freshman named Ed, the film gives us a glimpse of life at the U of O in the early 20th century. From Model T’s to cloche hats, this film is filled with relics of our past, but it also reminds us that university life has remained the same in many ways; fraternities and sororities, dating, professors lecturing about grades, registering for classes, and other common student activities have hardly changed.

Returning to Oregon’s Moon Country
A man on the moon in the early 60s: a national dream. A reality by the end of the decade. NASA’s scientists and engineers worked hard to develop the gear and equipment necessary for safe missions into space.

The lava fields in central Oregon became the perfect testing grounds for both astronauts and the moon suit. Produced by Denise Matthews, written by Brian Hinderberger & Cheryl Tan. Narration by Rebecca Force.
