LINFIELD CAMPUS DESIGNER PASSES
Samuel C. Lancaster, 76, famed Oregon highway engineer and designer of the Linfield college campus, died at his Portland home Tuesday morning after a month’s illness.
Mr. Lancaster gained widespread repute for his achievement in construction of the scenic Columbia River highway. Its location and construction were under his personal supervision. He was also known for work on the north rim highway of the Grand canyon, the highway through Bryce canyon, Seattle’s boulevard system, and other projects.
He laid out the present attractive plot of the Linfield college campus in 1928, just prior to the college’s building program which saw Melrose hall completed in 1929. Funeral services were held this (Thursday) afternoon at Finley’s Morninglight chapel in Portland.
