GRADUATE CLUB FORMED
BY 8. A. STUDENTS AT
BANQUET AT OSBUN
42 Advanced Students Gather
With Faculty at Their
First Assembly
More than one hundred bachelors of
arts are now enrolled as students in the
University of Oregon, according to an an
nouncement made by President P. L.
Campbell Friday night at the first general
assembly ever held by the Graduate
School. Forty two sat down at table at the
Hotel Osburn as guests of Dean Young,
and at the close of the banquet, after the
faculty had left the room, the post grad
uates present held a meeting and appoint
ed an organization committee to draw up
a constitution for the Graduate Club,
which will become one of the most influ
ential student organizations on the cam
pus.
Heralded as the most important mile
stone of progress passed in years by the
speakers at the banquet to mark the emer
gence of the Graduate School from its per
iod of nonage and its establishment as the
means of setting Oregon education on its
feet as an independent system, freeing it
from suspicion of parasitism upon eastern
institutions and substituting a status of
competitive and equal give and take.
Graduate School Growing
For many years the University of Ore
gon has done faithful work in building up
a Graduate School. Some years it has had
less than a dozen students; some years the
work went on actually wiihout funds; and
up to this year the Graduate Council, in
tent upon upholding the University’s repu
tation for quality and avoiding preten
tious claims, has refused to consider grant
ing any degree higher than that of Master
of Arts.
At the assembly Friday night, however,
it was announced that the Graduate Coun
cil would hereafter entertain candidates
for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, the
highest academic degree granted for re
search and scohlarship along regular chan
nels. Dean H. D. Sheldon, for years the
most conservative member of the council,
announced that he was at last convinced
that the Graduate School was now estab
lished with equipment, faculty add re
sources adequate to insure the respectful
recognition abroad of the highest degrees
backed by the reputation of the University
of Oregon Graduate School.
university iviarK or LMstinction
The existence of a Graduate School is
held, in academic parlance, to be the dis
tinguishing mark that entitles an insti
tution to the name “university’’. Seats
of higher learning without a graduate
school are properly designated “college”
or “institute”. Within every university
are various “colleges” and “schools”,
which are filled with “undergraduate”
students. A “university” is held to differ
from any other type of institution in that
it is self perpetuating; is not dependent
upon any other institution for its teachers,'
or its inspiration. This is held by educa
tional philosophers to be the most impor
tant fact about a university.
For instance, these philosophers hold
that if Oregon were surrounded by an im
passable wall that shut off all communica
tion with the outside, the existence of a
good Graduate School would be the most
important single fact in maintaining and
advancing its civilization. Without such
a wall Oregon is liable to draw upon the
generosity of other states.
Training for Teachers
In the other colleges of the university as
in all high schools and lower institutions,it
is always possible to secure teachers by ap
pealing to the institution next higher.
The rural school gets teachers from the
high school or normal school; the high
school takes the graduates of under grad
uate colleges, The problem only becomes
difficult at the top; who shall train the
teachers for the highest schools of all?
That is why graduate work is so different
in character from any other kind of teach
ing.
Everywhere except in the graduate
school, the student absorbs the learning
already possessed by his instructors and
written down in books in the libraries.
But in the nature of the case, the graduate
student, who plans to become himself a
teacher in the highest schools, cannot
merely be tent to partake of the laern
ing of his instructor, whose; equal or sup
erior he hopes to become,and as for the fu
ture of the libraries, this student himself
expects to be the author of new and au
authoritative works,treating subjects never
adequately handled before.
What Ph. D. Means
And this is exactly what the degree of
Doctor of Philosophy implied. The ex
amining board refused this degree to any
student who cannot prove conclusively
that in some respects he knows more about
his limited subject than any other man.!
