COMMERCE SCHOOL
ILL SIMP TEACHERS
WITH SOOTH AMERICA
Exchange Plan Proposed By
President Campbell to De
velop Trade Relations.
University Will Receive Direct
Knowledge of Foreign Mar
ket Conditions from Expert
An exchange of professors be
tween the £Whool of Commerce of
the University of Oregon and pome
one of the universities of South
America is the plan of President P.
L. Campbell who has taken the init
ial steps to bring about this closer
relation commercially through the
medium of education.
'’Ignorance always means preju
dice and lost opportunities. Knowl
edge is the beginning of trade as
well as of friendship,” is the way
President Campbell puts it, realiz
ing that one of the duties of the
School of Commerce is to further
the prosperity of the state in every
way that Is withiin the province of
an educational institution of this
kind.
The intention is that the man who
will oume here from South America
shall be conversant with the com
mercial trade and possibilities of
trade, the natural resources and man
ufactured products of his part of the
world, with special reference to the
demands of the Pacific Northwest
and particularly Oregon, and that he
shall instruct the students of the
School of Commerce of this Univer
sity along these lines of commercial
development of the relations between
Oregon and South America. In ad
dition, he will teach the Spanish
language, giving particular attention
to Its use and forme in business rela
; ions, the more or less technical
phraseology of trade and) trading,
rather than its more purely literary
features and use.
Conversely, the men who will go
from the School of Commerce of this
University will be familiar with the
resources of the Northwest and espe
cially Oregon .and will have made a
special and detailed wtudiy of aJM
those products of Oregon far which a
South American trade can and should
be develoiieih This knowledge he
will transmit to the University to
wh ich he is credited, as well os teach *
injt commercial English to the stu
dents there.
The School of Commerce of the
University of Oregon believes that
this exchange of instructors to be
one of the meet practical and effic
ient methods of developing commer
cial relations with other countries.
The man who will be seat from the
School of Commerce to South America
to teach English and Commerce, will
be sent by the Director of the School
of Commerce on a trip throughout
tlie state to make a detailed study of
the lumber, paper, box making, furn
iture factories, fruit canneries and
driers, flour mills, meat packing
plants and other of the leading in
dustries of the state. These he will
visit for si>ectul Instruction In order
that he tuay be prepared to call the
attention of the Importers and busi
ness men of the South American
states to our trade i*>salbUltles. He
also will be instructed by the School
of Commerce to study the products
of the South American state to which
he goes, especially those that may
bo Imported Into the State of Oregon
and the Northwest generally; and
also to familiarise himself with the
banking methods and hous<*» and
business concerns with whom busi
ness is likely to be developed. In
other words, he becomes the Com
mercial Agent of the School of Com
merce to develop and Improve our
commercial relations, us well as to
give instruction In the English lan
guage.
It is too early to make any state
ment as bo how soon this plan will
be put into actual operation, but It
will not be delayed any longer than
is requisite to make the accessary
arrangements and put them In prac
tice.
The faculty colloquium will meet
TuesJay September 21 at 7:30 p. m
for an address by Dr. Capen, special
ist In the United States Department
of Education.
