PHOT HOPEFUL FOR MEDICIIL SCHOOL Legislature Expected to Give Aid Requested. There is a fair probability of favorable action by the joint ways and means committee of the legislature in regard to an appropriation measure for the Uni versity of Oregon Medical school, pass age of which will probably iusure a fur ter amount approximating $.300,000 from the General Education Board of New York City. This was the announcement of President Campbell yesterday on his return from the state capital, where with other faculty members and regents lie appeared before the joint committee on behalf of the pending appropriation measures. In addition to the president, Dr. R. B. Dillehunt, dean of the school of medicine, IV. K. Newell, superintendent of property and A. C. Dixon, vice presi dent of the board of regents appeared before,the legislative committee and ex plained to the lawmakers the great needs of the medical school in the way of ade quate facilities and the great opportu nity of the state of Oregon to hold its prestige as the center of medical research for the northwest through the moral, scientific and financial support of the General Education Board, which de pends to a large extent upon the willing ness of the state to make proper appro priation for the school. The question involved in the delay of the passage of the appropriation bills is whether the medical school should not be supported by a share of the educa tional appropriations contained in the millage bill passed last May; these ap propriations are, according to President Campbell, insufficient to meet the needs of both the University and the medical school, the latter of which in the past has been supported by a separate ap propriation of the legislature. The Medical School program in the next year calls for an additional build iifg the size of the one now occupied on Marquam Heights campus, and the ad dition of faculty and teaching equipment sufficient to handle approximately twice the number of students now admitted to this school, together with additional pro vision for research work by members of the staff. The classes are at pres ent limited to sixty. At the begining of last autumn more qualified students were turned away than could be admitted. HODGE TO ADDRESS SCIENCE STUDENTS Geologist Offers Engineer's Solution of Great Problem Now Fac ing Chinese. China need not have a famine every year, says Professor E. T. Hodge, who has recently been added to the staff of the department of geology in the Uni versity. Professor Ilodge will address students and faculty in the lecture room of Heady hall, Tuesday evening, on “China’s Greatest Problem.” ‘‘That sounds like a title of a ser mon,” said Professor Hodge, “but 1 am* not going to give a sermon. The solu tion of China’s greatest problem is an engineer’s solution, not a philanthropist's solution.” A permanent, solution of the annuul danger of famine in China can be work ed out, according to Professor Hodge, whose particular branch of the depart ment is applied geology. It is a solution that would attack the cause of the famine, not one that seeks to relieve after the famine is on. Every year, thousands of Chinn’s peo ple starve to death and millions of others are saved only through the phi lanthropy of the United States and other countries. This is preventable, maintains Professor Hodge. The entire life of the Chinese people, he says, is connected with n certain geological fen lure. This feature can be tamed and controlled so that famine in China may be cured permanently, not merely relieved annually. This and many other such problems can be worked out by applied geology, he believes. Geology is no longer con sidered a dry fossilized branch of sci ence; it has a wide application. There are numerous geologists now actively en gaged in out and out economic work, the professor continued. Many cities and large corporations, shell as fail roads, building syndicates, etc., employ consulting geologists. Professor Hodge was for a time consulting geologist for New York city. The Tuesday evening meeting is under the auspices of the Science club, but is open to all. Professor Hodge says his talk is not necessarily for students of science, but is of a popular nature and is understandable by everyone. He will illustrate his solution of China’s prob lem by drawings on the blackboard. YALE SENDS BOOK HERE. “The United States Forest Policy’’ is the title of a volume of non-technical nature which will be added to the cam pus library. The book is the gift of the Yale school of forestry and the Yale University Press in commemoration of the twentieth anniversary of the founding of the forestry school at Yale.
