THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, JULY 38. 1913. AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE HELPS ITS STUDENTS Wide Range of Opportunities Offered Graduates Find Many Openings. Ample Provision Made for Amusement of Young Men and Women. TO HELP the young men and wo men of Oregon to "And them selves." to aid them in choosing a profession or occupation suited to their capacities and preferences and to fit them for success along those lines these are the primary aims in the courses of instruction offered by the Oregon Agricultural College. But the institution goes further than this. It reaches out over the state, carrying to those who are not able to come to Its campus for work In the regular classes, help in the problems by which they are confronted as well as advice and encouragement. ProfMMlos In Serioa DeelHlun. It Is not a simple question that con fronts the boys or girls who come to college undecided as to the profession for which they are to prepare them selves. General farming is a big field, and a profitable one in the Northwest, where there is much rich soil and a mild climate. But there is such a rapidly-growing demand for specialists in the various departments of farming agronomy, animal husbandry, horti culture, dairying, poultry raising, farm mechanics that the boy who has a particular liking for one of these fields may well devote himself to that, with a certainty of sufficient reward.. The calls for experts in all of these branches are more than the college can supply from the graduating classes each year. Many of .the pharmacy students go directly Into drugstore practice when they leave college, while others con tinue their studies In a medical school and become physicians, hospital su perintendents and college professors. The growing importance of the dairy Industry In this state is annually opening wider the doors of opportunity for students in the dairy husbandry, cheese factory and butter making courses of study. And the openings for competent clerical and stenographic assistants from the commerce school are practically beyond number. One after the other the high schools of the state are Installing departments of domestic science and a manual training and agriculture. This Is creat ing: another market for the talents of the girl who completes the home eco nomics courses and pedagogical studies at the college, and for the boy who specializes In the manual arts .of the engineering school, or the classes for agricultural instructors. The great need of a further develop ment of the vast amount of mineral resources of the state Is now being urged, and the completion of the new school or mines Duuaing. wnn us wen equipped laboratories this Fall will make It possible for a great increase in the enrollment of those who are to assist in the future in opening the new mines, developing the old ones further. and make use of the nne rocK quar Ties now practically untouched. More trained engineers will be re quired to handle the plants erected In consequence of water power develop ment of tho state. Thus new doors will be opened to graduates or the electrical. mechanical, civil and ex perimental engineering courses. In like manner the Immense lumber ing interests of the great Northwest and the increasing necessity of pro tection and conservation or tne loresi products demand that young men .be train. -il In silviculture, ioresi survey- inn- and manning, lumbering, wood technology and preservation, ana lor est administration. Fruit growing vies with lumbering for first place on the list of industries which have made Oregon famous from ocean to ocean. Horticulture, there fore. Is deservedly one of the most pop ular branches of instruction. Range of Instruction la Wide. Veterinary science or carpentry, blacksmithing or the editing of an agricultural or other technical Journal, the cooking of a meal or the execu tion of military tactics; whatever seems most desirable for the student to become familiar with, that he can find at the college, with excellent lab oratory facilities and a wide range of field experience. Nor are the finer phases of educa tion neglected. The school of music, art ydepartment, and school of lan guages offer careful training to the student. In every possible way the college endeavors to answer the demands of the young people of the state who come, in ever increasing numbers, for Instruction and training. And those who' can not come need but write the extension division for- such informa tion or help as they desire. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON HAS NEW DEPARTMENTS Funds Voted by Board of Eegents for Chairs of Journalism and Rhetoric. Dean of Women Chosen to Fill Vacancy. TIB Toting of funds for the estab lishment of a chair of journalism In the department of rhetoric and the selection of Miss Ruth Guppy. of Tacoma, as dean of women were two Important acts of the board of regents of the University of Oregon at its meeting in June. It is understood that the professor of Journalism will use the student paper to give practical experience to the students in his department. No one has been definitely decided upon for the holder of the new chair, but it is expected that a selection will be made soon. Miss Ruth Guppy. the newly elected dean of women, will devote all of her time to caring for the women of the university. For the first year at least she will not do any teaching at the university. Mnc Wonn on Faculty. With the addition of Miss Guppy the number of women on the faculty of the university will be nine. Two of these Dr. Bertha Stuart and Miss Harriet Thompson are in the depart ment of physical education. These two women have charge of the health and the physical training of the women of the unl-ersity. The work of the university Is divided Into the following departments; College of literature, science and the arts; col l,Sr of engineering. Including depart ments In civil, electrical, mining, chemi cal and railway engineering; the Sum mer school, the correspondence school. the school of medicine, the school of law and the school of music. The total enrollment of the university for the school year just closed was 1529. The regular courses at the University of Oregon, at Eugene, are in the col lege of literature, science and the arts and that of engineering. The work of these departments is the same as in tho other standardized universities. To be admitted to these collegese, a stu dent must have been graduated, from a four-year high school. Graduation with B.A. or B. S. degrees from these departments is accomplished by the successful completion of four years work. There were 65 students regis tered In these departments last year. Graduate courses are offered in these departments. Summer School Is Important. The Summer school, which Is now in session, represents one of the most Important branches of the university work. Many educators from out side the state are taking part in the present session of the Sum mer school. Classes In school su pervision, in regular university studies, and in college preparatory subjects and lecture courses compose the work of the Summer school. The enrollment of this department of the university is 160. The correspondence department oi the university, at present, has an en rollment of 356. All the branches of study at the university which can be taught by correspondence are offered in the curriculum oi inis aeparmrciii. The University of Oregon was estab lished by an act of the Stato Legisla ture October 19, 1871, and located at Eugene. Deady Hall, the first univer sity building, was erected by the citi zens of Lane County and was present ed to the Board of Regents in July, 1876. In September of the same year the university opened its doors for the reception of students. The first class was graduated In June, 1878, and num bered five members. At the beginning of the Fall term in 1876,. the faculty consisted of a president and two professors, and a t on DBsUtant teacher in the preparatory department. The faculty nOW Consists OI luo iubiiiucib, growth of the university is making necessary the addition of a number of new instructors each year. MODERX BUSINESS IS TAUGHT Holmes College Gives Practical Side of orfice Work. UniTn.. Business College, while open all the year, will count September 2 as the first day or tne secona quarter cen tury of Its history. From the time that rireirir shorthand established its claims as a thorough system, with the advantage of speed ana ease in Doin learning and use. tnis college nas w fri-d a. choice of Gregg or I'itman, ti. iiilt hA. been most satisfactory from the standpoint both of college and student: to the college, because It can thus meet any demands of the business world, and to the student because any temperament will be suited with one or other of these two great systems of Instruction. Thi vear will be marked by no par ticular changes in the faculty, except that the addition or several new leaca- ers will provide for tne increased en rollment. The commercial depart will continue to employ the com bination of theory and practice work in bookkeeping which lias Deen suc cessful for so many years and the of flee practice department will open in the Fall with the additional help of a special superintendent. Greater emphasis than ever is being nlnced bv the business public upon ability of graduates oi ousinuss cm leees to handle intelligently ine va rietv of modern office appliances now so much in use. Holmes is constantly abreast of the times in this particular and ever-increasing lacilltles are oi f.r.d Atudents to Derfect themselves in the mechanical as well as the mental equipment for success in Dusiness.

To a record of unparalleled growth that has taken place in the past few years, Willamette University, one of the pioneers in the educational de velopment of Oregon, has added this Summer several features that eclipse anything else in her already enviable record. The campaign for an additional en dowment fund of 5500,000 has been car ried on with increased vigor by Presl dent lloman and his substantial or ganlzatlon of supporters, and it will be but a matter of a. short time until the 5500,000 mark which they set out to reach will be attained. Independent of this is the Severson endowment of J100.000 which was made last Spring. . Xew Thought Business College.
