President Campbell Says Retiring
Professor Is Known as "Father
oI,FFC6hmcn Classes."
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
June 19. (special.) After a service
of more than 4u years as dean of men
and professor of Greek, Dr. John
Straub will ask the board of regents
on Monday to relieve him of his duties
as dean of the college of literature,
science and the arts, which post
ho has held for 22 years. Dean Straub
has been contemplating this change
for some time, but did not wish to
make the request until after passage
of the higher educational millage bill
in the campaign for which he was one
of the most effective worker.
On the occasion of Dean Straub's
laying aside this deanship. President
Campbell today Issued a statement
pitying tribute to the work of Dean
Sjiraub. President Campbell said:
"With the growth of the university
the double burden, has become too
hoav.y and he has asked to be relieved
of the deanship of the college that
be may concentrate his work on the
field which is closest to his heart,
that of intimate personal work with
men of the university. He has for
many years welcomed every class of
freshmen entering the university. He
has made the acquaintance of many
freshmen in their high school days,
'le always has been known as the
lather of the freshman class.
"The student loan fund of the uni
versity has ben his special care and
he has long planned to devote extra
-nerpy to building it up to a fund of
S100.000. It is the duty of the dean
of men to keep In close communica
tion ; with the beneficiaries of the
1 an and act in a special way as their
u liversity - ad visor. The human ele
n ent that plays a great, part in the
d itlcs of the dean of men is of a
n vture which especially appeals to
Dean Straub,"
