Savs Hall Dr. Hall, iu the morning session, broached the consolidation question and said that it it is to be done nt nil, it should be nt once. Then, im mediately after lunch, l.)r. Hall pro vided a mild sensation by offering a definite consolidation proposal, the first before the board. Under his recommendations, the normal schools at Monmouth, Ashland and Latlraude would remain in those locations hut be operated under one administration, separate units of t lie greater 1'niversity of Oregon. The stato ' college would remain ot Cor vallis as n separate unit. Research bureaus would be main tained by all institutions but the in format Urn fathered under one system. 13r.

He said he pre sumed from previous discussions the board favored the former plnu. Dr. Hector McPhcrson, Laun coun ty represl alive who has lonjc been interested in school consolidation, ured the board to consider the fed eral, survey from an outside view point in addition to that offered in tlu curricula arguments of Dr. Hall and Dr. Kerr.
