Oregon, where he served until his death in 1925. Campbell is credited with leadership in securing financial resources and building new facilities, as well as expanding the curriculum of the University of Oregon. He secured state funding through a state property millage tax, a percentage of property taxes dedicated to the university, and through a gift campaign program of private contributions. During his presidency the university's annual budget increased from US$47,500 to US$966,000, and enrollment increased from 250 students to 3,000 students. One of his key hires was Ellis F. Lawrence, founder of the School of Architecture and Allied Arts, who designed many buildings on campus. Over Campbell's 23-year tenure, he led efforts establishing the schools of music, education, journalism, architecture and allied arts, business administration, sociology, and physical education. Honors and tributes Both Pacific University and the University of Colorado awarded Campbell honorary doctorates. Campbell was "noted for his devotion to building esprit-de-corps within the university", and for treating all faculty with equal respect, regardless of rank. Upon Campbell's death, Governor Walter M. Pierce commented, "He was a hard student, a clear thinker, and always displayed a wonderful degree of tact in dealing with people of all classes." The day following his death on August 24, 1925, the Eugene Guard carried an editorial page tribute to Campbell, which said in part: The oldest public building in Oregon, Campbell Hall on the campus of Western Oregon University, was formally named in 1936 in honor of its second and fourth presidents, Rev. Thomas Franklin Campbell and his son Prince Lucien Campbell. Prince Lucien Campbell Hall (abbreviated "PLC") is the only high-rise University of Oregon building, the tallest on campus.
