Developing College Departments
Baying Land- 0. A. C. Board
Met. "
The annual meeting of the OAC
board of regents was held in the
president's office at the : college
Wednesday afternoon, and features
ot the session were the authoriza
tion of the purchase at $6,000 ' of
wh3t is known as the Foster res
idence and six acre tract- on College
Hill, the expansion of the mining
course by the employment of an
additional instructor and purchase
of more equipment, the develop
ment of the course in mechanical
engineering by the purchase of ad
ditional equipment and extention
and broadening of the curriculum,
the authorization of the - . employ
ment of a horticulturist for the ex
periment station, the election of
Harry Beard, a former OAC grad
uate to an instructorship in the
physical department arid as direct
or of the cadet band, and the pres
entation of the resignation of Miss
Snell, head of the department of
household science, to take effect in
July 1906. The meeting was at
tended by eleven of the thirteen
members of the board, Governor
Chamberlain and Judge W, W.
Cotton being absent from the state.
Senator Walter Pierce of Pendle
ton, appointed to the vacancy caus
ed by the death of Regent J. M.
Church, was in attendance for the
first time and was an active and en
thusiastic participant in the proceedings.
Action for the expansion of the
mining course involves the pur
chase of additional equipment and
the employment of additional
teaching force. Chester Preobstel
of the graduating class, 1904, and
who spent last year at the Univer
sity of California, in further prose",
cution of his studies in mining and
engineer topics, was elected instruct
or. Provision was made for Prof.
Fulton, head of the department, to
have more time for his work. The
policy of the board is to put the
department into active, thorough,
practical condition so that the course
may de sought by those who have
selected mining as a profession.
The appropriation for . additional
equipment is $500.
The plan for the development
of the department of mechanical en
gineering has not been yet been
worked out. Among the things
contemplated are additional equip
ment. The present laboratories
were put in when there was an at
tendance of only 300. With the
number of students more than
doubled, the classes exceed the ca
pacity of the equipment, and result
in bad economy. The broadening
of the instruction and the addition
of lines in the foundry and pattern
making are recommended by Pres
ident Gatch. Contemplated also,
is the addition of a graduata year
to the regular course, giving five
years of instruction to those who
desire it. The latter step is con
templated in order to give those
who now go to Cornell, Berkeley
and' other distant institutions an
opportunity to get the same instruc
tion at home. The board is largely
driven into the new policy by the
growth of the attendance,
A committee of the College Y.
M. C. A. conferred with the board
with reference to erection of a pro
posed student building. About
$ir,boo is available for the purpose,
and it is desired to begin building
as soon as possible. The question
of whether or not the building
should be on the campus was dis
cussed. The committee desired,
in return for the accommodations
afforded the college by the build
ing to be supplied with water, light
heat and sewer concessions. The
question of whether - or not legal
entanglements would prevent con
summation of the proposed contract
was considered. A vote was taken
and the sense of the board was
unanimous for granting the above
named concessions and a site on the
campus if no legal objections are
presented. It is proposed that the
building shall be managed by a
board of five of whom one shall be
from the board of regents, one from
the faculty, one from the student
body, and two from the College Y.
M. C. A. The final decision in the
matter was left to the executive
committee, after the proper legal
opinion has been obtained.
The purchase of what is known
as the Foster property on College
Hill is a step that has long been
contemplated by the board. For
merly the property was held - at
$7,000. It comprises six acres and
the residence occupied Dr. Withy
combe" and family. The. .college
owns property on all sidesof it ex
the Wilson property. The acquire
ment of it gives a commanding site
for the erection of an imposing
building at some time in the future
and it is for this purpose that it is
bought. The offer was $6,000 far
J the place, including" the residence,
or $5,000 for the land without the
house.
. Road building is to be added to
the course of study at the college.
The subject was formerly taught
at the college, but on some account
was dropped. Return to the pract
ice was recommended in his annual
report by President Gatch. and the
recommendation was adopted. The
instruction will be given in the de
partment of mathematics and civil
engineering and will involve pract- j
ical as well as theoretical work.
During their late visit to Corvallis,
the National Good Roads experts
urged upon the college authorities
the advisability of taking up the
work.
The selection of Harry Beard as
an instructor in the physical depart
ment and as director of the cadet
band was on the recommendation
of President Gatch, and solves the
problem of a, bandmaster for all
time in the future. Mr. Beard was
leader of the cadet band when he
graduated from the college in 1899.
After that he went to ,the Philip
pines with, the Oregon regiment.
Since his return ; he has been an
instructor at the Reform School,
and leader of , the Reform School
band. Under : his instruction the
band attained a high degree of ef
ficiency, playing, as all acknow
ledged, with superior . finish over
the OAC cadet band, at the State
field meet at Salem, although some
of Beard's players were only young
sters of little more than a dozen
years.
It is probable that a .man fro m
the Iowa Agricultural College at
Ames, will be selected as horti
culturist at the station. The em
ployment of such a horticulturist
was authorized, and the Iowa man
is recommended by station author
ities at Washington. For some
time but little work has been done
in horticulture at the station. Pres
ident Gatch, President Weather-
tora ana jonn u, uiwell were ap
pointed a committee to make the
selection and fix the salary.
The resignation was presented of
Miss Margaret Snell, with the pro
vision that 11 taKe eitect jury 1,
roo6. It was read before the board
and placed on file without action.
The degree of doctor of laws was
conferred on Judge Cotton, recently
named as United States district
judge for Oregon. He holds the
degree of bachelor of laws from the
University of Michigan. Judge
Cotton is in the East.
The salary of Prof. Fulton was
made $1,400 and that of N. Tartar
$780.
At the- meeting,, - officers of the
board who hold their terms for two
years, were elected with the follow
ing results: President, J. K.
Weatherford; secretary, John D.
Daly; treasurer, B. F. Irvine.
