Total Medical i Course Covers Seven Years Studies in Fundamental Sciences Comprise First Period Freshman Class Limited To 70 Students The complete course in medicine, offered by the University of Oregon Medical school, comprises seven years work. Three of these must be spent in the University at Eugene or in some other accredited institu tion in studying the fundamental sciences contributory to medicine. The other four years are spent in the Portland Medical school. Merely completing a three year’s course in pre-medics does not, how ever, guarantee admission to the school at Portland. As the freshman class must be limited to 70 entrants each fall because of limited equip ment and accommodations, many ap plicants are not accepted. Thife year two doctors from the medical de partment visited the campus for the purpose of interviewing prospective freshmen. Oregon Men Numerous About 50 per cent of the students admitted each year are Oregon stu dents. The others come from various parts of the United States. Enough persons apply yearly from California and New York to make up the firfct year class. One major and two minor schol arships are given annually to stu dents who are exceptionally out standing in scholarship and have finished the • preliminary medical courses in the University. The ten ure of each scholarship is two years. The awards will be given this spring by a committee composed of Dr. Harry B. Yocom, chairman, E. L. Shinn, professor of chemistry, and Harold B. Crosland, associate pro fessor of psychology. Winners of the scholarships will be announced during commencement. Scholarships Given Last spring the following pensions received the honors: Camilla Ander son, Emil Furrer, Morton Goodman, of Portland, and Samuel Page. Approximately 40 applications for entrance to the medical school will be made by Oregon students who de sire to enter next fall. Age and Variety Of Professions Are Registered Correspondence Courses Have 938 Persons Enrolled All persons who desire to enrich their minds with study do not have the opportunity of “packing” off to college for four years of pleasure and some study, so the correspon dence school was developed years ago to aid these same individuals. Those people who take advantage of the privilege of home study through the correspondence courses offered by the University of Ore gon are largely adults. Approxim ately one-tenth of the students en malled in the extension division this .'SpTiimg were from 14 to 18 years --of age. The most popular age group is from 21 to 31 years, if this year’s -.statistics can be relied upon. A trifle over half of the entire en rollment of 938 fell into this divi sion when ages were reckoned. There are eight students over 50 yearn of age enrolled. Other ages; and their total enrollment are: 31 to 40, 162 persons; 41 to 50, 68 persons; and 149 persons between 19 persons; and 149 persons between 19 ;and 21 are athirst for knowledge. jEvery county in the state, as well as some other states, has students enrolled. The greatest number comes from Multnomah, with Lane, Ma rion, Umatilla, Yamhill, Dougla/s, i Coos, and Jackson ranking next in ! order. The metropolitan county has | 241 students and the last mentioned, ' Jackson, has 35. According to the! latest figures, Sherman county has I the least, four students. The teachers of the state have a monopoly on the home-study. There are nearly 450 teachers taking va- j rious subjects. Students rank next , in point of numbers, with 139 on the list. Homemakers, wives, and mothers constitute the largest di visions outside of the teacher and student groups. There are 87 stu dents enrolled in correspondence study who claim the title of home maker Patients of the tuberculosis sani tarium at Salem maintained by the state take an interest in history literature courses. Thirty-nine per sons have formed the San Study club which holds business and social meetings to encourage ita members in correspondence work. The clerks in the state are repre sented by 30 of their members on the registration books. There are Writing Popular With High School Students At Portland Center There are two classes conducted in the Portland center of the Ex tension division of the University of Oregon school of journalism, a class in magazine writing conducted by Alfred Powers, and a newswrit ing class w’hich is instructed hv George Turnbull and Kalph D. Casey. There are usually from 25 to 50 students enrolled in the magazine writing class, which includes some work in the trade journalism line. It is taught fall and winter terms, each year. The newswriting class is now a three term course. There are from 12 to 30 pupils enrolled. Many high school seniors and grad uates take this course before com ing to the University of Oregon to major in journalism. It is a two hour class and is conducted every Friday evening. This year for the first time the newswriting class has been editing a small newspaper called the Port land Center Star. This newspaper is made up of storiepi which tell what type of work is being carried on by the Portland division and is published once a month. I Journalism Classes In Eugene, Portland, Edit Summer Paper The Summer Session Sun, which is edited each summer, is a weekly paper covering the news of both the Eugene and the Portland sum mer sessions. Ralph D. Casey, pro fessor in the school of journalism on the campus, has charge of the Eugene news. Alfred D. Powers, di rector of the Portland Extension Division work for the summer, has charge of editing the Portland news. Students in Mr. Casey’s class of journalistic writing handle the stories for the campus, while Pow ers’s class in writing for the press write the Portland news. Mr. Pow ers sends the Portland stories here where Mr. Casey combines them with the campus stories and edits the complete paper. This is printed at the University Press and is dis tributed on the campus and sent to Portland. Book on Criminology Written by Parsons Dr. P. A. Parsons, director of the Portland school of social work, has written a book on criminology, for use in the Portland center. His work is based on practical social problems, designed to aid in teach ! ing such work. Two years ago, Dr. j Parsons published his “Introduction ; to Modern Social Problems.” Both I works are the publications of Al fred A. Knopf Co. ; eight less farmers than clerks. The remainder of the classes are ' scattered into a variety of occupa tions, ranging from chemists, chiro ! practic physician^, manufacturers, I school superintendents and lectur ers to stenographers, reporters, car penters, bus boys, accountants, and bakers. View of the University’s Famed School of Medicine IN THE foreground is a wing of the school of medicine. Below it is the Multnomah county hospital where clinics are held. In the distance is a panoramic view of part of the city of Portland. The medical school, situated on Marquam hill, commands an unusual view of the city and the surrounding country. ! Larger Campus Makes School Medical Center Gifts of Mrs. C. S. Jackson S. J. Park, P. Jackson Increase Acreage The campus of the Medical school is rapidly _becoming the Medical Center of Portland due to recent donations of land and money for hospitals. The original 20 acres donated to the regents by the Oregon-Washing ton Eailroad and Navigation com pany for the site of a medical school has recently been increased 88 acres by the presentation of Sam Jackson park by Mrs. C. S. Jackson and Phil ip Jackson, publisher of the Oregon Journal. This addition adjoins the plot on Marquam hill and extends south to a point just above Terwil liger boulevard. With a campus the area of which is greater than that of the liberal arts and sciences in Eugene the Medical school is destined to be come a center of hospitals and clin ics. At present the government is constructing the U. S. Veterans hospital in Jackson park. A road has been extended from the present approach to the Multnomah hospital and the school to the site of the new hospital. Prom there another road will extend to Terwilliger boulevard. This will afford three different meth ods of reaching the campus in the future. The scenic advantages from the campus are unexcelled anywhere in Portland and this further factor adds to adaptation of the campus to both school and hospital importance.

ESTABLISHED 1864 i .... ■ -... -- . ■ I Where two steam locomotivea formerly puffed and strained to pull a 360-ton freight train up the tteep slope of Malt rata incline, two electric locomotives haul a 660-ton train with power to spare. Electricity levels the Mountains The General Electric Com pany required but eighteen months to electrify Mal trata incline—locomotives, power plant, transmission equipment complete. En gineering skill, backed by vast manufacturing facil ities, has enabled G-E to serve humanity in many ways. A series of G-E advertise ments showing what elec tricity is doing in many fields will be sent on request. Ask for booklet GEK-1. In Mexico, romantic land of pretty senoritas and languorous minstrelsy, practical American engineers have harnessed streams so that moun tains may be leveled. The winding thirty-mile Maltrata incline on the road from Vera Cruz to Mexico City is now elec trified. Ten electric locomotives replace twenty three steam engines. The electrics haul twice the tonnage of the steam locomotives—and in half the time, with obvious benefits to traveler, rail roader, and shipper. Yet Maltrata is but an example of electrical progress. For electricity is conquering the grades of railroads and of industry alike, the world over. Impressive, no doubt, but still modest when compared with the possibilities of electricity in years to come. And it remains for college trained men, with trained capacity for initiative and leadership, to become ambassadors for fur ther electrical conquests in foreign lands.
