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. Dur
lng the past four years, 17 build-

at a total cost of $2,833,033. Of
this total only $139,373, or S.8
per cent, came from state tax
funds.
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.
The meeting was held at the

club, Introduced the speaker.
