Medical School ASSISTANT BEAN OF PORTLAND MEDICAL SCHOOL DOITS POST Dr. H. B. Myers to Devote Time to Department of Pharmacology Portland, Feb. 28.—(Special).—Dr. Harold B. Myers, who has been as sistant dean of the Medical school for the last two years, has resigned his position in order that he may give more time to the deparment of phar macology, of which he is head. Dr. R. B. Dillehunt has been appointed to fill the vacancy. Since moving into the new building and especially with the large increase in enrollment this year, duties in his own department required his full time. Dr. Dillehunt before the war was professor of anatomy. When the war! started he entered the Medical corps and was later attached as major to Base Hospital No. 46. Associated with him were Major Benson of the department of pathology, Lieut.-Col. Yenney, professor of clinical medi cine, Major Lawrene Selling, assis tant professor of clinical medicine. A few of the students served under these men in France. That they have seen fit to take their medical train ing at regon speaks highly of the quality of leadership manifested by their officers and the degree of know ledge possessed by them. A student council has been organ ized to co-operate with a committee from the faculty in regulating student affairs and in suggesting any changes that may seem advisable for the wel fare of the students and the school. , This council consists of one mem ber from each claks. The freshman representative is “Tubby” Ogle, the sophomore representative is Ira Man ville and the juniors selected Laban Steeves. The seniors have not yet selected their member.

CANADIAN ARMY VET AND U. S. NAVY MAN IS SPECIAL IN LAW William Proteet In Battles of Ypres and Somme. Wounds Bring Discharge After spending two and a half years in the Canadian army and 13 months in the United States navy, William Jennings Poteet' has entered the Uni verysity of Oregon as a special stu dent in law. At the time of his enlistment in the Canadian army Poteet was only 17 years old. He made his way across the border from his home at Spokane and managed to enlist in the Canadian forces in time to be sent across with the 29th battalion of the second army, which left for Europe soon after his enlistment. He saw active fighting with the British forces in the third battle of Ypres and later on the Somme, where the battalion with which he was con nected was part of the forces which defended Paris from the advancing German hordes. After five months on the Somme his organization was moved to Vimy Ridge. While here he received a shrapnel wound in the arm and was sent to the British hos pital at St. Omel. Here he spent three months convalescing. Later he returned to the lines but after two weeks of service he con tracted trench fever and was sent back ‘ to England to recuperate and later to Canada, where he was dis charged. He arrived in Portland late in 1917, where his parents had moved from Spokane. He was the first returned soldier in Portland. At the time he weighed only 120 pounds against his normal weight of 176. He became dissatisfied in Portland as there was no one there he knew so he en listed as a quartermaster, second class, in the United States navy, and served 13 months on the destroyer Mayran. “The Canadian government is pay ing all disabled service men,” said Mr. Poteet, “who are by virtue of their disability unfit for any voca tion, $60 a month to continue their education. The same amount is given to any service man who was at the time of his enlistment, under 17 years of age.” Mr. Poteet came to Oregon from the Oregon Agricultural college where he attended the summer session last summer and the fall semester. He is a sophomore in the University and a member of the Sigma Chi frater nity. Emerald want ads. bring results. Send the Emerald home.
