Portland Center
Summer School
Begins June 21
Undergraduate, Graduate
Studies Offered; Course
To Close July 30
The Portland Extension division
center which this year is offering
more than 150 undergraduate and
graduate courses, opens its summer
session, Monday, June 21, and closes
Friday, July 30.
Alfred Powers, a graduate of the
University in the class of 1910, and
for three years assistant director of
the extension division, has succeed
ed Earl Kilpatrick as dean. Mr.
Kilpatrick resigned January 1 to
accept a position with the American
Red Cross headquarters at St. Louis.
The Portland division was start
ed with the idea of giving to busi
ness men, wage-earners, homemakers
and others who cannot attend a
regular school session the opportun
ity to carry a few hours of study
through the night classes. During
the school year of 1925-1926 more
than 100 courses in 55 different sub
jects were offered. There was an
enrollment of 1,950 in the Portland
center classes for the fall term, and
the yearly total including the sum
mer session is about 4,600.
Among the University graduates
this June there will be 20 who have
done part or all of their work in
the Portland night classes and
summer sessions or correspondence
courses.
After nearly 20 years of corres
pondence work given by the Uni
versity, the records for 1925 show
that there were 238 individuals
registered in 1,676 courses in the
correspondence school. The first
courses were offered in 1907 after
there had been many requests on
the part of teachers in the state
for assistance. By 1909 there were
328 students in courses.
School of Medicine Has
221 Students in ’25-26
The enrollment for the medieal
sehool of the University of Oregon,
1925-86, totals 221. Of these, 49 are
registered in the class of 1926, 46
in the class of '27, 58 in the class
of '28, and 68 in the class of '29.
In the period 1924-25, 45 received
degree* of doctor of medicine.
Physical Education
Courses Are Listed
The Portland center has a one
hour course in physical education
and recreations, under the super
vision of Robert Iirohn, director of
gymnasium, which has an enrollment
of 52 women and one man.
The course includes gymnastics
for the school room, games for the
school room, marching, floor work,
Indian club exercises, and folk
dancing. Volleyball, basketball,
and indoor baseball are among the
organized games. Some of the stu
dents include a twenty minute swim
at Shattuck school tank in their
evening class.
Several supervisors of play
grounds and gymnasiums are en
rolled in the class, as well as a large
number of teachers of other
branches in the public schiols. Some
are engaged in office work.
American Institute of
Banking Offers Array
Of Practical Glasses
Among the group of courses
offered students of the Extension
center by the Portland chapter of
the American Institute of Banking
are practical courses in business
and banking.
Accounting for bankers, element
ary banking, business law, invest
ments political economy, and public
speaking for bankers are a few of
the classes in which more than 300
Portland bankers are registered.
Two bank presidents are listed
among those men who are regis
tered in the classes that meet once
a week.
Of the more than 1,000 bank em
ployees in the city of Portland, 465
are members of the American In
stitute of Banking, and 337 of ttyese
are registered in class work at the
extension division, showing the keen !
interest manifested by men of this
profession in the sehool.
The work in this division deals
entirely with the banking industry,
and courses that deal with negoti
able instruments, commercial law,
credits, and others are a mandatory
part of the enrricula. The courses
offered are ontlined by the national
organization with a view to giving
a practical foundation in the pro
fession.
William H. Boyer
With University
For Twelve Years
Song Director Believes
Music to be Simple
Form of Speech
William H. Boyer, supervisor oi
music in the Portland schools anc
instructor of public school music it
the Portland Center, has been as
sociated with the University foi
twelve years. He has also been di
rector of the Apollo club for If
years and of the MacDowell clut
for seven years.
He believes that music is merely
a form of speech and that most peo
pie learn songs by imitation just a«
they learned to speak.
An article in the Portland Center
paper recently gives his views at
follows:
“Experience for years with choirs
and singers and a realization that
they could not read music demon
strated to me the need of a simple
(system of sight reading. I endoav
ored to evolve a plan which would
enable a singer to read from a score
so that the ability would come with
such ease that the love of singing
would not be destroyed.”
Mr. Boyer worked on his idea for
15 years before he began work in
the Portland schools. He adapted
the system jind made it suitable to
the teaching of children. In his
classes at the Portland Center the
music teachers become familiar with
the system.
Disease Specimens
Collected by Museum
The pathological museum of the
medical school contains a collection
of several thousand tissue specimens,
which represent the various pro
cesses of human diseases. Atmut
400 autopsies are performed annu
ally by the department of pathol
ogy. These autopsies include all
the coroners ’ cases and a number of
private eases. Various surgical
clinics, as well as the student’s in
dividual work, supply the museum.

Hospitals
School Recognized as
Finest West of Chicago
Noted Research Workers
Are Employed
The Portland Extension division
is a boon for many students who
have either put in four years at
college without annexing the covet
ed degree, or have been forced by
circumstances to withdraw from
their schools bofore the termination
of their college careers.
Up to sixty hours may be earned
at the extension division and ap
plied toward the bachelor’s degree,
and many ex-collegians are taking
advantage of this opportunity by
attending the classes held at Lin
coln high school, in Portland, and
by correspondence.
Other college graduates obtain
master’s degrees in the same man
ner while employed during the day,
by attending night sessions. This
work, however, is not supervised as
carefully as work done on the cam
pus, and presupposes a willingness
on the part of the candidate to do
research work on his own initiative.
The activities of the Portland
center are fully coordinated with
those of the campus by the use of
many campus instructors, and by
frequent conferences with deans of
schools and heads of campus depart
ments.
Extension Work
Helps Students
Secure Degrees
Twenty to Graduate in
June; Social Work on
Full-Time Basis
To receive a degree from the Uni
versity of Oregon without spending
any time on its campus or in some
cases one year’s time is the oppor
tunity taken advantage of by a
number of Portland extension divi
sion students.
This year’s graduation list gives
the names of 20 men and women
who have done all or part of their
university work in the extension di
vision. Some of these have done
much of their work in the Portland
Center night classes and summer
sessions, while some have added to
their credits by correspondence
courses from time to time.
The University of Oregon con
ducts the Portland School of Social
Work on a full-time basis. This en
ables students of social work to put
in the same number of hours in
school as students on the campus at
Eugene do in their regular courses
there.
Among those of the teaching pro
fession >vho will probably receive
bachelor degrees in June, are: Boy
E. Cannon, city superintendent of
schools at Gresham, Oregon; W. A.
Petteys, principal of the Peninsula
grammar school, Portland; Bose
Winkleman, teacher in the Sunny
side school; Alwina Bach, teacher
in the Ockley Green school; Ma
thilde Veit, teacher in the Highland
school; Ina B. Elmlund, teacher in
the Bose City school; Pearlie B.
Cavanaugh, teacher in the Hudson
school, and Florence Taylor, all of
Portland.
Swimming Classes
Offered for Women
In Summer Session
There will be no professional
courses offered in any line by the
women’8 branch of the school of
physical education during the sum
mer session. The swimming tank
will be open during the entire six
weeks and may be used by towns
people as well as students on the
campuh. Miss Gertrude Tucker, ’25,
who has been teaching at Cottage
Grove this year, will have charge of
the pool during the summer. She
will conduct beginning and advanc
ed swimming classes in addition to
the purely recreational side. This
department also plans to have
eharge of the usual hikes and ex
cursions held during the week-ends
of the session.

five-man defense stylo of play,
which in its variations is the basis
for most of modern basketball, were
originated by Meanwell. His meth
ods and technique have been widely
spread by coaches who have attend
ed his various summer courses since
1912. Meanwell shows a number of
pupils who are in University basket

Medical School Charter Granted In
1877 to Group of Interested Men
In 1887 regents^of the University
granted a charter to a group of men
who wished to establish a medical
school in Portland for the purpose
of giving Oregon pre-medics stu
dents higher training after complet
ing their lower division require
ments.
The medical department of Wil
lamette university merged with the
Oregon school in 1913 and the en
tire enrollment of that institution
was transferred to Portland. The
alumni of both schools are consol
idated under the medical school of
the University of Oregon, thus mak
ing it the only school of medicine
in the Pacific northwest, reaching
the largest territory in the United
Stated served exclusively by one
medical school.
Twenty acres of land on Marquam
hill, overlooking the city, were
deeded to the regents of the Uni
versity in 1914 by the Oregon-Wash
ington Railroad and Navigation
company as a site for the school of ,
medicine and affiliated hospitals.!
Here the first unit of the medical j
group, made possible by appropria
tions by the state of $110,000 and
$20,000 given by citizens of Port
land, was finished and occupied in
the summer of 1919. This building
is a three-story structure.
The second unit, a four-story
building, was completed in the sum
mer of 1922. Appropriations by the
Btate and the General Education
board made the erection of this pos
sible. An additional gift of $50,000
for equipment and maintenance was
given by this board after the build
ing was completed. The plant and
equipment now embody all the mod
ern standards in medical school con
struction.
Under the terms of the original
gift, the regents of the University
conveyed to Multnomah county sev
en acres upon the campus for the
construction of a general charity
hospital planned with particular at
tention to teaching facilities.
Extra clinics and wards are main
tained for classes limited to nine
students in the Good Samaritan hos
pital St. Vincent ’a hospital, Portland
Surgical hospital, Emmanuel hospi
tal, Portland Medical hospital, the
Portland Sanitarium, Wavsrly Bahy
home, Albertina Kerr nursery, *»*
vation Army home and the State
hospital for the insane.
