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."

Dr. , Hall came to the presidency of
the university at the -close of an In

President Campbell. Faculty, stu

Campbell together, for the deceased

cd Heritor and administrator but alsu

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

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.
