Consolidation Is in the air these
days, and Oregon's higher education
institutions seem destined to fail iu

Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall, president
of the University of Oregon met the
seemingly inevitable issue head-on at
iSalem Mondny. Ho proposed that the
campus at Kngene be a unit of a
greater . University of Oregon, with
other units at Corvallis, home of the
Dtate college, and at La Grande, Mon
mouth and Ashland, sites of the nor
mal schools, all under one administra
tive head.
Vote Averted
His proposal was thus definitely be
fore the board when, just before ad- I
journment, an actual vote on consoll- I
dating administration was narrowly
averted and deferred until April
when the board meets in Portland. At
that time, it appears certain serious
consideration to a consolidation pro
gram will be given,
Albert Burch, Medford, offered I
motion just before the board ad'
journed Monday evening that the uni

necessitate an expenditure of only
$4,0U in building changes, the briefs
slate. The university endorses the
junior college, plan of the survey, and
takes up the whole list of recom
mendations point by point. The sum
mary of the university brief follows:
1 he University administration ap
proaches the problems raised by the
survey with an eager desire to con- i
tribute to the esnential unity of the I
whole system of higher education in
its five branches and at the same time
to recognize two fundamental and es
sential factors in the present situa
tion: First, that the popular protect
against duplication must be suuarely
met and a definite nnd -Jatisfactory
answer pi 'en to this fust demand. The
second factor is the absolute necessity
for rigid economy of the mot exact
ing type. The present economic sit
uation, as well as the impatience of
the people with costly duplir-atinn. re
quires the most thorough elimination
of all courses that are not absolutely
esnentisl. While admitting that dupli
cations mny seem necessary nt times
to enrich existing curricula, ttiey
should be pared down to courses con
sidered indispensable.
Luxuries and conveniences must he
sacrificed if the Oregon system of
higher education is to retain the con
fidence and support of the public In
the nresent economic situation. As
normnl prosperity returns liberal sup
port will again be granted to our In
stitutions of higher learning; but even
this should not be- ei peeled unless we

Preserve Education
In presenting the point of view
pi in innn-Krnnd institutions, the eol
leae believes It is not discriminating
gainst any other standard or ideal of
education. It is actuated solely hv
the motive of preserving to the state
of Oregon, through this institution,
those elements of eduention peculiar
in ine inim-grant roller that lisve
stood the test of two generations In
this and other slnles. nnd have been
acinrui'O wide hlstonenl snnclloii.
It mny be argued flint this Is nro
terling a single institution rather than
developing the stnte-nlde system. Hut
unless eneh institution in the srstem
nns a near field in Much to function,
the system itself is bound to fail. No
amount of uniform curricula, inter
chnnge of professors, trnn.fer of stud
ents, intermingling of activities, and
iwerioricing ot functions, can help to
svert confli't If the Integrity of indi
vidual institutions and their purposes
are noi snieguar'leil. A stste insti
tution of higher learning is sn Instru
ment of public service. Its functions
must change with the needs of tlie
state for service. Hut if it csnnot
know its nrimnrv field of function. rwl
l sure in that field, the system to
which It belongs Is destined to inef
ficicniT and waste.
Th real difficulty inherent In the
established situation resulting from
tn division of work on the two csm
