Taylor Made Acting Dean
Of New Graduate School
President Newburn Issues Appointment
Following Action by Education Board
PORTLAND, Oct. 22—(AP)—The state board of
higher education established separate graduate schools at
the University and Oregon State college today.
EUGENE, Oct. 22—Dr. Harry K. Newburn, University
president, announced today the appointment of Dr. Howard
Taylor as acting dean of the newly restored graduate school,
"The establishment of the graduate school,” Dr. Newburn
said, "marks the coming of age of our university. The strength
of an institution is, in a large measure, judged by its graduate
school, dedicated to the promotion of research and <>raduatc
siuuy, ana mis is uregon s opportu
nity to become a great University.
It is our good fortune that Dr. Tay
lor has agreed to act as dean of the
school until a permanent appoint
ment can be made.”
Graduate Council
The president continued, in ex
plaining the set-up on the Univer
sity campus, “Our graduate council,
which may be subject to modifica
tion because of additional duties,
includes Dr. W. C. Ballaine, Dr. Ar
nold Elston, Dr. E. L. Johnson, Dr.
R. W. Leighton, Dr. E. H. Moore,
Dr. P. L. Risley, Dr. P. W. Souers,
Dr. Pierre Van Rysselberghe, and
Dr. H. B. Wood. This council will
advise with the dean in establishing
the policies and in administering the
school.”
The establishment of the gradu
ate schools, both at the University
and Oregon State college, was made
possible by action of the state board
today, upon the proposal by Chan
cellor Paul C. Packer, in accepting
the resignation of Dr. Olaf Larsell,
dean of the state graduate division
and abolishing the state system
graduate division and the general
graduate council.
This action left open the way for
setting up the separate schools,
which will function as autonomous
schools at the University of Oregon
and Oregon State college. At the
University of Oregon medical school
the graduate council will be re
tained under the chairmanship of
Dr. Larsell.
Research Council Out
Board action today also abolished
the general research council of the
state system and the activities and
budget of this body are to be trans
ferred at the earliest possible date
to the graduate units of the insti
tutions.
In line with the state board move
to clarify the institutional setup,
was the abolishment of offices of
interinstitutional deans and direc
tors where conditions no longer in
dicated a necessity for them. On
the Oregon campus this removes the
responsibility of interinstitutional

Vets' Checks Due,
Says Administrator
Most veterans should receive sub
sistence checks after their first 30
days in school, R. J. Gridley of the
veterans administration has an
nounced.
A veteran must be in school 30
days before subsistence checks come
through, Gridley said, and in some
cases a slight further delay is un
avoidable.
Special attention is called to vet
erans to follow "The Vets Forum”
for names and details which will di
