New Business School at OSC
Clarified by President Newburn
In a statement issued Friday, President Harry K. New
burn clarified the University’s position in regard to the pro
posed school of business administration at Oregon State
college.
He said that representatives of the Univer
sity were at the hearing and presented the Uni
versity’s definite objections to the proposed
school.
Dr. NeNvburn said that it is the understand
in g of the University that a new BA school at
Oregon State would be confined entirely to
undergraduate levels and would not duplicate
the functions of the University School of Business Adminis
tration.
The complete text of Dr. Newburn’s statement:
“We were represented at the hearing and presented the Univer
sity’s serious objections to the proposed school. Naturally, we regret
the decision.
“However, it is our understanding that the board action estab
lishes a school of business and technology which will be confined to
the undergraduate level, will be related clearly to the technical areas
available at the State college, and will not duplicate in major fashion
the functions of the University school of business administration. It
remains to be seen whether this intent will be realized in practice.”

regents demanded that a com
mercial course be started in ad
dition to the intellectual subjects
approved by the faculty. John W.
Johnson, then president of the
University, bitterly opposed it.
As a result of his conflict with
the regents caused by the question
of the commercial courses and
other contributing factors, he sub
mitted his resignation.
In 1894 the board of regents
insisted on the establishment of a
one-year commercial course. It
brought many new students to the
University, but its success antag
onized many of the private com
mercial colleges of the state. It
also appeared to craw students
away from many of the regular
academic courses.
The following year the commer
cial course was revised to include
more academic subjects.
The question of duplication first
arose in 1913. Following an in
