OR. HUNTER TELLS State Chancellor in Address - Before Rotarlans Cites Aid to Economic Progress By creating Intelligent, aggres sive and constructive leadership the schools and colleges are mak ing definite contributions to the economic advancement of this country and helping this nation to meet the increasing problems of democracy. This was the key note of an address before the Medford Fotary club Tuesday by Frederick M. Hunter, chan cellor of the state system of higher education. "Progress is based on knowl edge applied to the development of natural resources," Dr. Hunter told the Rotarians in pointing out greater horizons of useful ness for educational institutions of America. The national income of the United States, at its 1929 peak of ninety billion dollars, could be stepped up 73 per cent if full use were made of this country's resources, the speaker pointed out. A corresponding improve ment in the standard of living would be the natural result of this improvement in the nation's economy. Education Big Factor To further emphasize the role that education plays in the eco nomic welfare of this country. Dr. Hunter reminded Rotarians that the United States, with only ix per cent of the world's popu lation, produces 39 per cent of world s goods and itself uses much of this vast production. This economic progress was at tributed largely to the American way of encouraging educational freedom. To correct the general impres sion that there Is a lack of op portunity for college men and women today, Chancellor Hunter called attention to the fact that 92 per cent of the 2903 graduates of Oregon's Institutions of higher learning during 'the past two years are now employed. These young men and women are now contributing to the economic, as well as the cultural advancement of their state. The state system of higher education is giving particular at tention to the development of Oregon's resources through the creditable work of experimental stations and county agents. The work of this nature carried on in Rogue River valley fruit raising and in Klamath county potato growing was cited by the speaker. Crass Sesd Cited "The grass seed industry was negligible in this state when I arrived a few years ago," Dr. Hunter said. "As a result of the work of experiment stations at Oregon State college and in va rious communities of this state, the growing of seed has become an important economic factor, The 1940 anticipated crop will be valued at J8.U0U.UU0." Thus, in addition to the im portant work of improving this state's "human stock," the higher educational system is bringing many million dollars of added wealth to Oregon each year. In his Introductory remarks. Chancellor Hunter referred to the present unified system of high education in this state as an Important "instrument of gov ernment." As a functional arm of this state government, the system has three essential ele ments, he said: First, the board with members appointed by the governor and approved by the senate with a rotating personnel that assures a continuing mem bership and policy; second, an executive head in the person of a chancellor and, third, a single budget covering all phases of higher education. Heavy Investment The replacement value of property and equipment admin istered by the state system of higher education was placed at 120,000,000 by Dr. Hunter. This covers the operation of six major Institutions and smaller, spec ialized experiment stations.

But 18 per cent of the Income of this state la expended for edu cation, a figure that is 4.4 per cent below the average of the ten western states, Dr. Hunter pointed out, California spends over 48 per cent. Only through careful business management, able direction and strict econ omy has Oregon expanded her educational establishment to keep abreast of other states, and to afford much needed ex peri mental service in the interest of developing resources of the state.
