SOLVING EDUCATION RIDDLE .After months of uncertainty as to the future course of higher education in Oregon, the state board has finally taken ;a Jong step toward solving the riddle by appointing Dr. W.J. 'Kerr as chancellor of Oregon's five institutions of higher 'learning. For-many i weeks there has been a growing sentiment in favor of such action, for most people had come to realize that continued uncertainty would lead inevitably to demorali 'zation of our entire educational system, and that it would . be exceedingly difficult to obtain the services of any -really; competent man outside of the state because of the present: unsettled condition of our system. : The resignation of Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall, president of, Hie University of Oregon, to take effect; at: the ojid of the '"year in order that he-may assume duties elsewhere, left-the' ; way clear for the board to appoint Dr.. Kerr -as chancellor without offense to Dr. Hall or to his many loyal supporters.! j (Although it was the original intention of the board to choose an outsider in order to forestall any possibility of a, i continuance of institutional rivalries, -recent sentiment is j inclined to discount the danger front that angle, and to em-i ; phasize 4he advantage of having a chancellor -who is .well -and favorably known throughout the state-and who is fam , iliar with the state and its peculiar problems. The ability of Dr. Kerr to fill the chancellorship has never. ibeen .questioned. From the little college which he found ("when he 'came .to Oregon in 1907 he has built one of the, i three or four greatest land grant colleges in -the United I States, and upon the occasion of his twenty-fifth anniver-' ; sary as president of Oregon State college he was most highly '. praised by prominent educators throughout. the nation, i As one . college president said, "Higher education in Am-, ; erica h"s attained its high place under the guidance of a -group of far-seeing educational statesmen, and President Kerr -is a dominant member of this group. Modern educa tion throughout the world is indebted to his vision, courage, Hintiring industry, and attractive personality." : 'The general attitude of the people of Oregon is apparently one of approval of the boards appointment. It seems that 'if. any man can bring order out of the chaos that uow.exists, and put our slate educational system into smooth, efficient operation again, Dr. Kerr can do it. And as far as danger ;of prejudice is concerned, there could be no possible advant age to Dr. Kerr in favoring Oregon State at the expense of the; other institutions. On the contrary, he has a splendid opportunity to cap the climax of his caroer as an educator ",: by developing the unified system of education to. the point where it will bo recognized throughout the nation, as Oregon State college has been under his capable adnunistration. . :In his resignation Dr. Hall nukes the following statement: "The board's policy of a single administration for. all five -institutions is in my judgment ,'one. It will give to the state a single leadership in the field iof -higher education. .It will inevitably tend to integrate and unify the different institutions into a common unit and at the same time preserve the institutional identities which have played so large a part in the development of thc.com mon wealth, and will attract because of its magnificent -opportunities for service the finest type of educational leader ship that the nation affords." Other Papers Say: UK. IIAl.l, TO 4iO Resignation of Arnold llr nnMt Hall from the presidency of the Univer sity of Oregon will nut surprise those : who are observers of the trend of events In higher cdticatlnnal ntfulrs. It will n rouse regret among well ln formed frlenclH of holier education 'ind of the n til vorwtty. Thche know that Dr. Hall iwn performtxl viilunble services here. Thy know that under his "presidency the milvernity hits 'made vast educational and t-ultural ' progress. -President Halt Is strong In Intellect, - hlgh-ln . scholarship, devoted to ideal ism In education. Ills ideas are pro gressive. Emphasis In hln method ol 1 university training is placed upon 'the stimulation In youth of clear and original thinking along Hues that Wilt fit them for the battle or life, making secondary the mere mcmor 'Irlng of book knowledge. His le der ail I p of his faculty has been along lines designed to fit them to tench 'and train students for tho spiritual and emotional appreciation of finer things of life, as well as to train the memory. Through personal effort of President Hall, eastern foundations have financed researches for the uni versity whose purpose is to give basis Tor the educational program thus very briefly summnrlmt. It is a high conception of education and one that gathers momentum In pro portion as it becomes more widely understood. i Business Itanagu Carrier u . .Mail . .140 -MM -tie prices on application an extremely wise and salutary Dr. , Hall came to the presidency of the university at the -close of an In terim that had followed the death of President Campbell. Faculty, stu dents, alumnae and cltlaen support -vtr. had alike been accustomed to think or the university and Dr. Campbell together, for the deceased prcMldeut had not only been a great cd Heritor and administrator but alsu he was esnentlally of Oregon, Identi fied for yrnrn with Its best Interests ntid known and loved by most of Its t liiyens. The new president, coming from abroad and a stranger, thus in herited a situation of some difficulty from the standpoint of his own Im mediate establishment of himself. Ho handled flhat situation well and tactfully. He mace no effort to brlug into the university organiMtion key men of his own, but worked with thoso he found. Neither organiva thm nor morale suffered. With tho buck inn of a well-manned board of regents, the new president put the university again in the way of pro gress and kept it there. -And beAldes tnautiurisjung valuable educational Innovations. Dr. Hall has by his per sonal efforts brought a million aud and a half in endowments aud gifts to the school. It is altogether a worthy record. After adoption by the present state hoard or higher education of a uni fication program for nil the schools of higher education. 11 became appar ent that present heads of Uie uni versity and 'the state college would hardly remain permanently in their positions. Presently there was word that both or them expected to retire. President Hall has now resigned. It Is an event, that helps to clear the way for selection or a chancellor and for completion of unification. This newspaper believes that the board may well solve the other half of lt problem by . electing. President Kerr as chancellor. Reasons for this view we have previously .set out In these columns. We restate on this occa sion. merely the. lac ti that Dr. Kerr Is ywell .qualified, that lie has the confidence of a large majority of the people of Oregon, and that he Is peculiarly the man for the present emergency. But whether Dr. Kerr or some other Is to be chosen chancellor, the time for action la fully ripe and there should be no further delay. Portland Oregonlan.
