Variety of Articles
In Lost and Found
What's the easiest subject in
school ? It may not be a true test,
but the University lost and found
department, located in the physi
cal plant, has more English texts
than any other variety.
As a matter of fact, students
seem to be able to get along with
out books easier than any of the
other necessities of college life.
There are lots of pens, scarfs,
glasses, bracelets, etc. but stu
dents are losing books on a ratio
of about two to one.
The lost and found department
would like to get rid of the arti
cles they have on hand, but we’ll
wager that one book will stay
there for some time, if not for
ever. Someone has lost st copy of
John Morgan’s “How to Keep a
Sound Mind.”

The football team will leave at

to give the team a rousing send
off and it is hoped that as many as
possible of the Oregon football
fans will be able to attend the
rally.

Plans for Bigger, Better UO Graduate School
Laid Out by Dr. Howard Taylor, Acting Dean
School to Open New
Research Possibilities
By ANN PAULSON
Plans for a bigger and better Ore
gon graduate school were outlined
yesterday by Dr. Howard Taylor, re
cently appointed acting dean of the
graduate school.
“There isn’t any reason,” Dr. Tay
lor emphasized, “why the Univer
sity shouldn’t have candidates for
Ph. D. degrees as well as other grad
uate degrees if it wants to maintain
upper level standing among Ameri
can universities.
Dr. Taylor, emphasizing the fact
that modern educational tendencies
are centered on the Ph. D. level, said
that Oregon was not monopolizing
the research and natural possibili
ties prevalent through the state.
“The recognition by the state
board that Oregon graduate schools
can be best developed by the institu
tions themselves,” Dr. Taylor said,
“will enable the University to en
courage the full capacity of the stu
dents and faculty in active research.
“We live right here on the rim of
the Pacific basin,” Dr. Taylor con
tinued, “and therefore regional
studies of trade and the northwest
ern country can be observed in ac
tuality.”
Plans for the new science build
ing to be erected on Kincaid street
will include an enormous reservoir
of factual information open to the
graduate students, said Dr. Taylor.
“We may not be able to have the
gigantic equipment prevalent in j
California universities, but we will
be able to capitalize upon our na
tural resources,” he added.
In this resptect the graduate
school plans to maintain working
contacts with different laboratories
throughout the country and in other
nations. They also plan the organi
zation of scientific research projects
to study nationally known scientific
hopes to have as much factual ex
companies. The graduate school
perience as possible in the research
field.
Dr. Taylor, head of the psychol
ogy department, has been active in.
the field of psychological research,
for many years. He received his
training at the University of Oregon,
as a graduate assistant under the
late Doctor Rebec, early pioneer ini
