greater university becoming reality (Continued from Page 1). jfv the confidence given in the millage 1,111. Colin V. Dyment, dean of the school of literature, science and arts, recognizes through this medium that the people throughout the state receive the benefit of the University of Oregon schools, de partments, and individual members of the faculty. This service takes the various forms of instruction through e<Tr respondence! instruction in extension classes; visual instruction through slides and films; studies and surveys; super vision of teachers reading circle, parti cipation in the work of many official and unofficial groups; secretaryship of the Oregon High School Debate League; publications of widespread circulation; general information and miscellaneous service. During the past school year up to De cember, 698 people throughout the state were registered in correspondence cours es. This is the largest number ever en rolled in this work. In the Portlanl ex tension center last term there were 746 registrations. The extension depart ment says, “The demand for extension classes has been acute from various parts of the state, and assuredly we shall have to do something very soon to meet the requests of Eastern Oregon along this line. Lack of funds and avail able men have limited our offerings in several cities.” . Many Movies and Slides Sent Out. More Oregonians are reached by the moving pictures and slides sent out by the University than in any other way. hast year 61,621 persons attended mov ing pictures sent out, and 112,744 wit nessed the slide exhibitions. Lectures are generally provided with the pictures which are offered free. Lectures In faculty members last year reached 48,782 people in the state. Various surveys of state conditions are made through the extension division. Dr. Chester L. Carlisle recently com pleted a survey of mental delinquency and dendency to be used by the legis lature in making health laws of Oregon. A survey of the Portland waterfront was recently finished by the extension division for a religious organization. The purpose was to determine whether or not there is a need for a seamen’s insti tute. Surveys are sometimes made at the request of state organizations work ing for the public good. Thomas E. Lar- : remore, professor of law, through the 1 extension division, made an extensive 1 study on the facilities for justice avail able to the poor in Portland. This di- 1 vision is cohtinually co-operating with < the school of education in making men- < tal tests in the schools of Oregon, and have made these tests in every part of the state. 1 j I Many Teachers in Reading Circle. There are approximately 3800 Ore gon teachers enrolled in the teacher’s reading circle conducted by the exten sion division. Through this division Die University has co-operated during the year with many organizations, commit tees. commissions, clubs and other groups interested in some phase of the general welfare. Among such groups are: Oregon Child Welfare Commission. Oregon State Chamber of Commerce, Oregon State Teachers Association. Northwest Rivers and Harbors Congress, • and many more. Every school in the University has in some way improved and bettered its cur riculum and faculty. Forty-two new professors have been added this year. The school of literature, science and arts of which Colin V. Dyment is dean, is a correlation of 20 departments relating to these subjects. What is considered one of the biggest advances made in this school is the new' combined course in literature and history. Heretofore, the students in these subjects have been given only a slant at the literature and history of the world. They have been uuablo to get a coherent, logical idea of the history and literature of the world from the beginning of time. But this course considers history from a literary standpoint, and vice versa. A long and difficult search has been made to find a Professor who is fitted to teach the his toi.v part of the course, but as yet the Diversity has been unable to find a man ,*h° qualified. There are few Universities in the mted States which have a combined course in literature and history, and its 'alue to the student will be great, be ie\es Doan .Dyment, who is arranging the course. Research Work Grows Rapidly. •'search work is growing rapidly among the professors of the University the work which Professor O. F. Staf or^’ formerly of the chemistry depart 'oput in perfecting a process to obtain ic resinous substances from wood, is 'ought to he of great importance to uture industrial development. Dr. H.

How the participation in college ath letics affects the heart and general phy sique of the individual, will be one of the problems which Dr. John Bovard 'lean ot the newly organized school of physical education, will consider. Both men’s and women’s athletics were com I ned into this one school, with a med ical man, instead of an athlete, at its head. The training of University women to teach physical training in the state high schools is an important function of the women’s department, and there are many University women now occupied in this way. The new woman’s building which offers added opportunity for phy sical training is, according to University authorities, one of the best equipped in the I nited States. A considerable part of th<‘ money used to erect this build ing' was obtained by popular subseftp tion. A new track and baseball field are new developments in men’s athletics, and will tend toward making Oregon an ath letic center. Producing artists are the pride of the V niversity of Oregon’s school of archi tecture and fine arts. Avard Fairbanks, noted sculptor, is best known by his statue the “Idaho Doughboy.” He is at the present time working along these hues, in connection with his classes. Al fred Seliroff, professor of art, is devot ing part of his time to producing orig inal works of arts. Previously, Profes sor Schroff has been so burdened by dass work that he has been unable to use his time for this purpose. Louis Roseuburg, an instructor in this school s now in Rome, completing his art work. Co-operation with the public schools .of Oregon in an effort to put the study of misic on a basis so that everyone may •eCeive its benefit, is one of the aims of he University school of music. Dr. John 1. Landsbury, dean of the school, is inthor of a plan which has been adopted or the public schools of New York date. The growth of the school of mu lie last year over the preceeding year vas 21 per cent. There are many spe ■ial students in this school devoting all if their time to music. Dean Lands •ury believes the school is very fortu mte in securing Madame Rose McGrew. famous opera singer, as a member of the ' faculty. At the present time Mrs. An na Raudsbnry Reek. instructor in piano is doing research work in the instruction "t grammar school children in piano and \ iolin. Practical experience is the basis ol the work which students do in the school of journalism, the second larg est school in the 1'niversity. Resides the Oregon Daily Kmerald. published entire ly by students, there' are several other! student body and 1’niversity publications ) which are edited and published by the I .voting journalists With the addition of; considerable new equipment to the Dili- j varsity press, the University has one of the most complete prTntshops of "which any university in tile Northwest can boast, said Robert Hall, who has charge of the mechanical work in the school of journalism. Three large power driven cutters and trimmers were'added to the plant. There are now two linotypes, one of which arrived yesterday. Into this new era of expansion and development, along every line of its ac tivity. the 1 niversity is entering this year. Through the money awarded it by the people of the state, the University of Oregon is now better able to provide I a thorough and complete education along professional and cultural lines for the sons and daughters of 'Oregon.
