C. Chipman, editor of the Oregon Voter Lhe meeting was sponsored by the Forest Grove Chamber of Commerce. L. M Graham presided. Dr. McPherson is a representa­ tive from Linn county. Savings Predicted Savings of a million dollars a year over a period of from 10 to 20 years through the consolidation is possible, according to Dr. Mc­ Pherson, who said that he spoke from 20 years of contact with schools of higher education in Or­ egon. He was one of the sponsors of the one board plan for higher education, which hr said was saving the state considerable money. The speaker charged the Eugene Cham­ ber of Commerce with beclouding the issue as far as taxpayers view the situation. The Corvallis plant, he said, has more than twice as much floor space as has the university and the campus is large enough for any future expansion, while the Eugene campus is crowded in by city streets. He declared that Eugene faces necessity of buying more property. It was held questionable as to whether the combined attend­ ance would exceed the 1921 en­ rollment at Corvallis, when facili­ ties were not so great. The Eu­ gene campus would take care of the teachers’ college, which would give Oregon teachers’ training that would permit them to teach any place. A consolidated institution would give Oregon youth a real education­ al opportunity, according to Dr. McPherson, who said that only a partial program is presented under the present system, not permitting a complete education. He declared that it was not destructive to put two halves of a liberal education (Continued on page 8> Members of the. highway com­ mission will consider the “short cut” road to the beach at their meeting August 31, according to Families Flee When Flames information given Washington coun­ Threaten Glenwood Area ty representatives at the commis­ sion session last week.
