SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE
EXPECTS MANY STUDENTS
Lack of Room is Handicap
to Department
TUITION FET PROBABLE
Dean Lawrence Asks for More
Assistants
The high standard of work offered
by the school of architecture of the
University has been brought out in the
annual report of Dean Ellis F. Law
rence to President Campbell. Many
facts and statistics of the departments
of architecture and allied arts are
given, telling of the work now being
accomplished and the aims of the
school.
The number of major students in
these departments now totals 119, rep
resenting an increase of 60 per cent
over the past school year. This num
ber greatly overcrowds the room space
and taxes the limited number of in
structors. So crowded have the classes
become that it has been necessary to
move some of the classes in normal arts
to the low-storied, poorly lighted base
ment, which was formerly the locker
room of the women's old gymnasium.
•Dean Explains Increase
Dean Lawrence points out that the
rapid growth of the school has come as
a result of the investigation and reports
of visiting judges and architects. There
has been no advertising or special bul
letin issued by the department sinc^
1918. The general announcement of
courses, issued by the University, is
the only advertising the courses have
had.
Despite this fact students are coming
from a number of outside states, and
constant inquiries from Oregonians in
dicate that there will be another large
increase of enrollment next year.
Word has already been received from
a Tacoma architect that he is sending
three students from his office for work
in the architecture school next year.
This decision came after a thorough in
vestigation of all coast schools. A
Californian chose Oregon, after an in
vestigation of the California schools.
At present there is one student in the
department from Iowa: still another
came from the University of Washing
ton this year.
Sculpture Attracts Many
Several Californians are at present
corresponding with Professor Schroff
about entering next year for his work
in fine arts. Avard Fairbanks, who
offers the only professional work in
sculpure north of San Francisco, has
70 students enrolled. Five students are
now specializing in sculpture. Several
more are expected next year.
In his report Dean Lawrence asks
for immediate relief in his department,
both for more rooms and a larger staff
of instructors. Unless this is done at
once, he says, it will be necessary to
control the enrollment in some man
ner. A high standard for grades is
maintained already and fees have been
applied wherever possible. Unless the
situation is relieved, however, it will
be necessary to apply a tuition fee.
This will be applied only as a last resort,
it is explained.
MATHEMATICS MAJORS
TO FORM CLUB TONIGHT
Knowledge of Calculus is Only Re
quirement for Membership; 30
Now Considered Eligible
A mathematics club is to be formed
on the campus. Those interested in
such an organization will meet in Pro
fessor DeCou’s room in the Administra
tion building at 8:00 Wednesday even
ing to consider plans of organization.
The idea of the club is the result of
agitation that has been carried on by
math majors with the sanction of the
mathematics faculty.
A mathematics club did exist on the
campus several years ago, but in the
excitement of the war interest waned
and the club was allowed to drop from
sight.
“Students with a knowledge of cal
culus are eligible to membership to the
club,” said R. M. Elliott, a graduaip
student in mathematics. “There are
about thirty people on the campus eli
gible for membership.”
Students in pre-engineering, physics,
and science courses can become mem
bers of the club if they desire and are
interested.
Mathematical problems will be dis
cussed at the meetings and other inter
esting propositions will be considered.
Practical as well as pure mathematics
will merit discussion. The meetings
of the club will not be limited to dis
cussion groups only. There will be so
cial activities now and then during the
year.
At the meeting Wednesday evening.
Dr. Milne of the mathematics depart
ment will speak on “Prime Integers.”
This will be a non technical address
and will deal with the development of
the subject. This is a problem which
mathematicians have studied for ages.
Following the address the organization
of the club will be taken up.
FRENCH CLUB RECEPTION
PLANNED FOR TONIGHT
New Members of Foyer Francais Will
be Received Into Organization
at Meeting in Bungalow
Ten new members who w'ere recently
elected to Le Foyer Francais, honorary
French society on the campus, will be
received into the club this evening at
7:30 o’clock at the Y. W. C. A. bunga
low when a reception will be liven in
their honor. A special program is being
arranged by Wilbur Bolton, chairman
of the program committee.
“The club is an honorary society,”
says Verne Blue, president of the so
ciety, “which is open to students who
have had one year of college French
or its equivalent.” Certain scholarship
requirements are also necessary for en
trance, according to Verne Blue.
“The purpose of the club,” says Blue,
“is to make working French more inter
esting, to vitalize it by taking it out
of the classroom, and to establish a
closer relationship with French and
French interests.” Co-operation with
other French societies of other colleges
was also cited as being one of the pur
poses of the organization. “We be
lieve that these two republics, France
and the United States, should and can
work together.”
“Our programs have been exception
ally good this year at all the meet
ings,” said the president of the club.
“Music furnished generally by students
is always one of the features. Talks
by members of the club are held every
other Wednesday evening at the Y. W.
C. A. bungalow at 7:30. Students,
members of the faculty, and others who
are interested in French are invited
to attend this meeting.”

WOMAN SOCIAL WORKER
IS VISITOR ON CAMPUS
Miss Avis Lobdell Addresses Practical
Ethics Club on Opportunties in
Welfare Work
Miss Avis Lobdell of the Bureau of
Women’s activities of the Union Paci
fic system, with headquarters at Port
land, was guest on the campus yester
day. She addressed the freshmen girls
at their class in practical ethics yes
terdav morning. Miss Lobdell is in
j charge of the welfare work of the
j bureau in Portland, in connection with
the women who are employed by the
railroad concerns in the city and her
i address to the students was on the op
j portunities open to women in welfare
work. She cited a number of her ex
periences in the business world and
emphasized the importance of women
being able to think for themselves and
urged the girls to be ready to take up
whatever presents itself. There is
value in every experience, accord
ing to the speaker, who said that
the mere service of doing any
work well was in itself the biggest part
of work. “No matter how little you
may depend on the work you are doing
or how long you intend to continue it
you have no business to do anything
but the best,” said Miss Lobdell. She
maintained that every woman who is
efficient in her work helps to lift up
every other woman in the eyes of the
world.
