search activities of the University of
Oregon have expanded during the past
year until they now cover important
phases of foreign trade, education,
various fields of science, social
science, business and many other im
portant lines, it is announced in the
annual report Just prepared by Presi
dent Arnold Bennett Hall for the state
board of higher education. An exten-
tlve program is already under way for
this year, and while funds for this pur
poee are limited, faculty men are co­
operating in every way so that the-
work may be carried on.
A crime survey of the state, which
Is expected to result in a great deal
of valuable material, la already under
way under the direction of the school
of applied social science. This is be­
ing carried on through the assistance
of graduate students who are doing
much of the work as part of their
studies toward advance degrees. The
program of educational survey of
school problems and many highly
specialized studies in business and in­
dustry are progreesing.
Studies Completed.
Important studies completed during
the year Included a financial study on
borrowing rates of municipalities of
Oregon which revealed the fact that
Oregon municipal bonds offer a fertile
field for Investment of outside capi­
