Teaching Roll For Education Has Notables •Alderman, Sheldon, and Snedden Given High Rank in Field Strongest Personnel in History Expected Glancing over the complete list of faculty members of the school of education for this year’s sum mer session, both here and in Port land, one is confronted with the names of educators who rank high in their fields. Headed by Dr. Sheldon, dean of the school, the staff includes, besides some of the regular teachers, prominent in structors who help make it prob ably the strongest education per sonnel the summer sessions have (had up to date. Snedden Signed" Up Perhaps the most outstanding of the outside teachers coming to the campus for the summer ses sion is Dr. David Snedden, profes sor of education at Columbia uni versity since 1916, who was here during the 1928 session. Dr. Sned den is listed in Who's Who in America for 1929. He has had long experience in the education field, and is the author of several books and articles on the sub ject. The Columbia man will teach from June 24-28 in a course en titled Synthetic Course in Educa tion: World Problems in Educa tion, which is made up of a variety of subjects necessary for the un derstanding of the major problems in world education. Dr. Snedden’s subject will be, Fundamental So cial Problems in American Educa tion. Alderman Is Specialist Another well-known educator, here for the summer session, is L. R. Alderman, specialist in adult education with the U. S. Bureau of Education at Washington, D. C. He graduated from the University of Oregon in 1898, and since then has served in numerous education al capacities. He has been super intendent of Yamhill county schools, superintendent of Eugene city schools, Portland city schools, associate professor of education at the University, Oregon state su perintendent of public schools, and educational director of U. S. Navy, before he assumed his present po sition in 1924. Mr. Alderman was also listed in Who’s Who for Amer ica in 1929. He will teach in the same course as Dr. Snedden, from July 21-26. His subject will be, New Questions in Adult Education. Problems in the Development of State School System, another sub ject of the synthetic course, will m be taught by F. A. Cotton, former ” ly state superintendent of schools of Indiana. Mr. Cotton has also had a great deal of experience in (Continued on Page Five) President Hall Tells of Opportunity For Teachers, Grads9 Near-Grads Inspiring Contacts Help Summer, Post Session Students, Prexy Says President Hall is doubtless as busy a man as there is in the state of Oregon, but he is never too busy to say a word for the sum mer sessions, in which he is keenly interested. "Summer study opportunities should atract all classes of stu dents," said Dr. Hall. “While there is always a heavy percentage of school teachers and administrat ors. the idea of attending summer session is appealing to a constant ly larger group of undergraduates. "The student who, for any reas on, is not able to handle the regu lar amount of work necessary to graduate him in four years, has an excellent chance to make up lost ground in the summer. The wide selection of courses makes this easily possible. "The heavier percentage of graduate students in summer ses sion indicates a realization of the opportunities for advanced work.” Dr. Hall pointed out one ad vantage of summer session in the distinguished educators in many fields who are brought to Oregon each summer. “A great part of I all education,” he said, “is the re sult of the helpful and inspiring contacts with instructors of out standing scholarship and achieve ment. A look at the faculty list for this summer will indicate the unusual opportunities offered in this respect.” For a high school graduate who may wish to get a glimpse of a ~ Dr. "Arnold ~ Bennett”Hall,-Uni verslty president, not to busy for talk on summer sessions. field before committing himself to it as a major, the summer session is useful, the president said, in dicating also that some may de sire to accumulate a few credits in advance to make up for possible losses through time taken by ill ness or self-support. “The work in summer is intens ive,” he concluded, “but there is sufficient opportunity for recre ation in the social activities and week-end hiking trips. Conditions for a summer of combined study and recreation in either the Eu gene or the Portland session are hard to match.” Ten Departments To Have Classes In Post-Session Practically Full Quarter’s Work Given During Summer Term Students In ten cepartments are able to get what amounts to a full summer quarter’s work through the development of the post-session on the Eugene cam pus. The departments represented are chemistry, economics, educa tion, English, history, physical ed ucation, physics, psychology, Ro mance languages, and sociology. The following Instructors will be in charge: Chemistry—O. F. Stafford, Leo Friedman, and F. L. Shinn. Economics—Victor P. Morris. Education — C. G. Vannest, Chase L. Conover, C. L. Huffaker.

Who’s Who Men and Ph.D.’s Form Big Per Cent of Summer Faculty If Ph.D.’s and space in Who’s Who mean anything-, the guest in structors on the summer session faculty comprise a select group. Of the 38 visiting instructors 12 members, 32 per cent, are listed in Who’s Who in America or have been listed in recent years. Four teen members hold the doctor’s ► 1 degree—13 Ph.D.’s and one L.L.D., making 37 per cent. The group represents a wide geographical distribution, coming from 17 institutions in this coun try and one in England. The Eng lish institution is the Holt Sec ondary school, of Liverpool, Eng land. The American universities and colleges contributing to Ore gon’s summer school faculty are: Many Schools Contribute Antioch College, University of California, University of Califor nia at Los Angeles, University of Chicago, Columbia University, Cornell University, Harris Teach er’s College, Harvard University, Holmby College, New Jersey Col lege for Women, Ohio State Uni- j versity. University of Oklahoma, Pacific College, Pacific Univer sity, Smith College, Stanford Uni versity, and University of Utah. The Who's Who members of the visiting staff are L. R. Alderman, specialist in adult education for the U. S. bureau of education; Dr. Ernest Sutherland Bates; Dr. Ar thur C. Cole, history; Dr. F. A.

I (Continued on Page Five) I Portland School To Have Boat Trip Down Willamette Ninth Sailing on Rivers Part of Pleasure Program The recreational program for the Portland summer session will include again this year the annual boat trip down the Willamette and up the Columbia rivers. This will be the ninth cruise in the his tory of the Portland session and is always looked forward to with pleasure by both the faculty and students. It will be held this year on Saturday, July 19. Frederick W. Goodrich, well known Portland organist and choir director, will again give an organ recital for the pleasure of the summer session students and faculty. This will be held in the First Christian church on Wednes day, July 2. The Portland summer session faculty picnic will be given on Wednesday, July 9. It is hoped that the 1930 faculty will be as proficient in the game of baseball as the 1929 faculty, when the reg ular faculty members played a rival team composed of visiting professors. The assemblies in the Portland summer session will be held on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings from 10:50 to 11:10 in the auditorium of Lincoln high school. These assemblies include addresses by outstanding visitors, musical programs, dramatization of class projects, and other inter esting features. The first assemb ly will be held Monday, June 23, and will be addressed by Alfred Powers, director of the summer I sessions. On Wednesday, June 25, Alexander Goldenweisser, distin guished lecturer and anthropolo gist from Washington, D. C., will be the speaker. Professor Rudolf Broda, of Antioch college, will speak on Friday, June 27. Summer Sun To Handle Campus Neu's Again The Summer Sun is to be once more a feature of the Oregon sum mer sessions. This is a weekly paper issued each Tuesday morn ing of the session jointly by the journalism classes of Eugene and Portland. This publication is hand led largely by the students in journalism at the two centers,: printed on the campus, and dis-1 tributed to faculty and students. School Draws More Students Each Session Hawaii and Alaska Trips Expected To Bring High Number Only Seven Professors in Group in 1902 More students are taking ad vantage of the summer sessions every year as shown by the in crease of 234 in the grand total enrollment for the 1929 sessions over the attendance figures of 1928. Last year’s enrollment rec ords show a total of 1504, while the grand total for 1928 was 1,270. Last year's attendance at the campus summer session was 572, a decrease of 13 over the previous year, when 585 attended, but the number of students attending the Alaskan cruise and the post-ses sion make last year's figures higher. The attendance at the Portland session last year showed an increase of 108 over 1928, 685 enrolled in that year, while 793 were registered in 1929. Thus the number of summer ses sion attendants is increasing ev ery year, with still a higher mark expected for this year. The suc cess of last year’s Alaskan cruise and its duplication this year, coup led with the Hawaiian trip, is cer tain to draw added numbers. Summer sessions first started in 1902 with a total enrollment of nineteen under the guidance of seven professors. This year the faculty totals 127, so some idea of its rapid growth is gained. With the opening of the extension divi sion in Portland in 1917, attend ance increased three-fold. A jump was made from slightly over 200 that attended the previous sum mer to a total of 604. A decrease of enrollment was shown in 1920. August Diplomas Again Scheduled Separate Ceremony Plan For Summer Students Graduation exercises will be held at the end of the post-session on August 29, for those complet ing their college work during the summer months, according to W. G. Beattie, assistant director, Eu gene session and post session. This will be the second time that graduation exercises have been held at the end of the sum mer session; the system was in augurated last year when 96 per sons were granted degrees. In the past it has been neces sary for students who have com pleted their work either in sum mer sessions or during the year to wait until the following June to be formally granted their degrees at commencement time. The exer cises last year were considered to be entirely successful, said Mr. Beattie, so it was decided to hold them again this year. Dr. Kiang Kang-Hu Is Second Chinese Summer Lecturer A'vREGON students and fac ^ ulty members who remem ber the impression made in Portland summer session two years ago by Dr. Timothy Ting fang Lew, Chinese educator, journalist and philosopher, are welcoming the announcement that another outstanding Chi nese educator is scheduled for work in the summer session this year. Dr. Kiang Kang-Hu, of the research staff of the library of congress at Wash ington, D. C., and newly-ap pointed professor of Chinese studies at McGill university, will give courses in Oriental philosophy and art. Bom of a Mandarian family, Dr. Kiang holds high Chinese scholastic degrees, has been a professor in the Imperial Uni versity at Peiping and at the Nanking Government Univer sity. Last year he lectured at the University of California. He is the author of books in Chi nese and English. All This to be for Summer Session Students Hawaiian Summer Cruise Is Planned; First to Islands Room Left for Only Ten More Sight-seeing Student Travelers The experiment of a summer cruise to Alaska last year proved so successful that the University is not only repeating the cruise this summer but is also sponsoring a more extensive cruise to Hawaii. This cruise, technically known as the University of Oregon Sum mer Session to Hawaii, will be from June 25 to August 15. Stu dents will leave Portland on a special train the night of June 23, arriving in Vancouver, B.C., June 24, where they will board the steamer Niagra of the Royal Aus tralian Mail line, returning to Vancouver August 15. Thirty-eight days—from June 2 to August 8—will be spent in study on the campus of the Uni versity of Hawaii, at Honolulu. These dates so nearly correspond with the dates of the summer ses sion of that university that all of its courses will be available for the students of the cruise. Ac comodations for students have been resevred in the attractive | dormitories of Punahou college. The total length of the trip from Eugene will be 53 days. Expenses To Be $365 Total expenses for the trip will be $365. This includes the round trip train fare, berth, meals and transportation on the boat; board and room for 38 days in Hawaii; fees at both the University of Ore gon and the University of Hawaii. The original quota of students has been filled, but due to the large size of the Niagra it is pos sible to arrange accommodations for about 10 more people. Students may earn from 9 to 11 hours of university credit. Six courses are being offered by the University of Oregon and 27 courses by the University of Hawaii. A limited :§imber of courses will be given on board ship, which will be continued dur ing the stay at the Hawaiian in stitution. Here is the select faculty list of 22 members; University of Oregon Karl W. Onthank, director; Warren D. Smith, professor of geology; Ralph D. Casey, profes sor of journalism; Nelson L. Bos sing, professor of education; Mable Holmes Parsons, professor of English. University of Hawaii Thayne M. Llvesay, director of the summer session and professor of education and psychology; Paul S. Bachman, assistant professor of history and political science; Frederick E. Bolton, dean emer itus and professor of education at the University of Washington; Merton K. Cameron, professor of economics; Miles E. Cary, princi (Continued on l'ayc Two) School of Education Offers Most Courses The school of education again leads the way in size of faculty and amount of work offered in the 1930 summer sessions in Port land and Eugene. An even twenty instructors will give a total of 29 courses in Eugene regular and post-session. Portland will fea ture education somewhat less strongly, with seven instructors offering eleven courses. Graduate work will be stressed at the Eu gene session, as well as the syn thetic course in education offered, one week each, by five outstand ing American and foreign special ists- - Above, left to right, Hawaii hall, at University of Hawaii; build ing on Punahou campus, oldest west of the Rockies; below—the lib rary.

Allen, dean of the School of journalism, on the campus this summer, and one by Harold E. Hunt, dramatic editor of the Oregon Journal, in Port land. Dean Allen’s course will in elude one in journalistic writ ing, sufficiently broad for a wide range of needs, from the ele mentary student to' the adviser of a high school publication o r the teacher of a Dean Allen course in journa listic writing in an English depart ment. The other course will deal with article and feature writing and editing, with some attention paid to editorial policy and edi torial writing, copy editing, proof reading, and makeup. Mr. Hunt, who before becoming dramatic editor, had years of ex perience as Northwest editor of the Journal, will offer a course in journalistic writing. Mr. Hunt, while Northwest editor virtually conducted an informal school for the education of young .newspaper correspondents, and he has a wealth of material derived from his own work, for use in this course. Rare Specimens Of Chinese Art To Be Displayed Dr. Kiang Kang-Hu Will Send Priceless Collection To Oregon Campus Rare Chinese paintings, heir looms in the family of Dr. Kiang Kang - Ku, distinguished Chinese scholar, member of the Oriental research staff of the Library of Congress, are to be brought to the University of Oregon campus this summer as the result of negotia tions conducted by Dean Alfred Powers of the summer session with the visiting educator, who is to be a member of the summer session staff this year. Many of the paintings are rare works, masterpieces of the painters of the Sung and Yuan dynasties, coming down from as far back as the tenth century. Under an arrangement with Mrs. Murray Warner, curator of the museum, the exhibit Will be dis played on the campus with the Murray Warner collection of Ori ental art. The collection, made up of 76 pieces, including priceless land scapes and portraits, has been in the Library of Congress for the last two years. Almost all the pictures are offered for sale.
