NEW SCHOOLS
PLAN TO TEACH COMMERCE
AND ARCHITECTURE
1&T UNIVERSITY
NEW CONSTRUCTION GIVEN
Architect Lawrence Submits
Sketches for Campus Quad
rangles to Board of Regents
at Recent Meeting.
Authorization for the establish
ment of Schools of Commerce and
Architecture in the University and
the adoption of the plans for the new
$100,000 building, as prepared by
Architect Ellis F. Lawrence, was the
principal business that came before
the Board of Regents at their regu
lar annual meeting Saturday.
The action of the board in creating
the two new schools came as a result
of a decision made some time ago by
the Board of Higher Curricula that
the University should be given the
exclusive right to establish a School
of Commerce and a School of Archi
tecture.
The Board placed President P. L.
Campbell in charge of the organiza
tion of the School of Commerce.
President Campbell will report his
plans at tire June meeting of the
Board. It is said that H. B. Miller,
formerly United States Consul at
Shanghai, China, is in line for the
deanship of the new ' school. The
school will be devoted mainly to pre
paring students to become expert ac
countants, professional marketers
and distributors, and for the consular
service.
Architect Ellis F. Lawrence was
authorized to make plans for the or
ganization of the architectural
courses and will also report at the
June meeting of the progress made.
Plans Are Ratified. ,
Architect Lawrence’s plans for the
new building were submitted and
laLlfied by tho Regents. The new
structure will be of the Ionic style
of architecture, two stories high, and
will be built of brick and terra cotta.
The bu :ling will be fireproof
throughou t.
The of Lees of the president and
registrar are to be located on the sec
ond floor. In order to eliminate the
crowding that now prevails during
registration time, a large lobby will
be made on this floor, with the busi
ness offices facing off of it. The
lobby is to be lighted by a large sky
light.
The first floor of the building is
to be given over to class rooms. Just
what departments will be given loca
tions on this floor has not yet been
decided. The basement will proba
bly be given over to the department
of journalism.
Quadrangles Planned.
Architect Lawrence also submitted
sketches to the Board, providing that
the University campus be divided in
to quadrangles. Under his plan, the
new building will be located on one
quadrangle, where the sun dial now
stands. Mr. Lawrence says that
Kincaid Field will not be removed to
make room for the new building; at
least, not at present. He says that
it would involve an expenditure of
$10,000 to remove the athletic field
to the 34-acre tract adjoining the
present field.
According to Mr. Lawrence’s plans,
a second quadrangle will be located
at the western end of the campus, in
cluding the present baseball diamond,
tennis courts and duck pond.
In order to permit the present Ju
nior class in electrical engineering to
graduate, the Board appointed As
sistant Professor C. R. Reid to a
professorship at a salary of $1800 a
year. Professor Reid will take the
place of Professor R. H. Dearborn,
who has been transferred to the Ore
gon Agricultural College.
Following the recommendation of
President Campbell, the civil engi
neering department will be discon
tinued at the end of the present year,
although the Board of Higher Currir
cula recently' stipulated that the
present classes might be graduated.
President Campbell advocated the
discontinuation of the department as
he did not think the number of stu
dents enrolled was sufficient to war
rant its further existence.
President Campbell’s report also
contained a recommendation for a
AUTHORIZED
« ©
considerable extension in the scope
of the graduate school and the addi
tion of such courses as would induce
alumni to return for work in the de
partment.
The addition of a second year of
law was authorized by the Regents
and Dr. Hope was granted an assist
ant in the department.
Miss Katrina M. Davis, instructor
in English in Columbia University,
of New York, was elected instructor
in rhetoric to temporarily fill the
place of Miss Julia Burgess, who
leaves this summer for a year’s so
journ in Europe.
All of the Regents were present at
the meeting except Governor West,
Secretary of State Olcott and C. A.
Dolph.
MATHEMATICS ATTRACTS
MANY THROUGH LETTERS
Professor Frink Teaches Over
150 Students by Corres
pondence
Teaching 15 different courses in
mathematics to more than 150 stu
dents by means of letters, is the work
that Prof. F. G. Frink, of mathemat
ics, in the Extension Department, is
engaged in at present.
Over one half of the students tak
ng correspondence work in mathe
matics are teachers handling prin
cipally this work, and all are mature
in years and experience. Some are
engaged in engineering or - other
building enterprises, studying mathe
matics and structural subjects.
“Many of our students,” says Pro
fessor F. G. Frink, “have had some
college work and of these many are
planning to return for graduation.
Some desire a review in certain sub
jects, and some wish to increase
their usefulness by taking advanced
work. Practically all are filling po
sitions and have a specific object in
their selection of subjects.
“Under such circumstances a very
high quality of work reaches the de
partment. At least 95 per cent of
the work is perfect and the work of
marking the papers is one involving
criticism of methods and of helpful
suggestions in which the mecahnical
checking of results is merely an in
cident.”
Following the decision of the
Board of Higher Curricula by which
the University loses Engineering and
retains Architecture, a revision in
the correspondence courses in Engi
neering and Mathematics is neces
sary.
BIG GYM EXHIBIT IS PLANNED.
Men in Classes Under Shockley Will
Probably Give Outdoor Show.
Sixty Sophomores and Freshmen
will be seen in drill about the last
of May. “Bill” Hayward, trainer, is
formulating plans for the event, but
nothing definite about the exact date
will be known until after the spring
vacation.
Director Shockley began training
the regular gymnasium classes the
first of the week, but has experienced
a great deal of trouble in getting the
men to march and to do the other
various drills. He believes, however,
that in a month he will be able'to get
them into shape.
The women have had the gymna
sium from four o’clock until six this
week, but immediately after spring
vacation the coast will be clear and
Shockley will devote his entire time
to drilliAg his men.

Sandwiches, boiled eggs, salad,
pickles, olives, fruit, candy and cake.
These are a few of the good
things to be offered by the women of
the Freshman and Sophomore classes
who will bring baskets to the first
underclass basket social and dance
in the men’s gymnasium Friday
night, April 24.
Plans for the dance and social
have been decided upon by the com
mittee in charge. According to
present arrangements, the second of
the underclass debates will be held
in Villard Hall just before the fes
tivities in the gymnasium. The first
of the debates will be held Friday
afternoon. The debates are on the
question: “Resolved, That all In
ternational Disputes Should Be Set
tled by Arbitration.”
Each class will have an affirma
tive and a negative team, each com
posed of three men. Each speaker
will be allowed eight minutes in con
structive argument and the leaders
of the teams will have five minutes
more for rebuttal. The entire de
bate will last an hour.
Two Debates Planned

Leslie Tooze, Allen O’Connell, Pren
tiss Brown and Lamar Tooze. The
Freshmen teams will consist of Mc

Last year, the Freshmen team,
composed of Prentiss Brown, Allen

the sale of the boxes. Bidding will
be limited to 75 cents. Baskets will
go to the highest bidder. Every
woman attending the social is expect
ed to bring a basket. Names will be
placed in the inside of the box. The
women on the committee have start
ed a thorough campaign among the
feminine element of both classes, urg
ing them to be present with baskets.
The committee further urges that the
boxes be inexpensive.

a short informal program will be
rendered. The complete program
will be announced in Thursday’s

has been staged for a number of
years and it is sincerely hoped that
every Sophomore and Freshman will
get out Friday night. We have def
