Backed by a large majority of the state legislature, a favorable
decision of the supreme court, and evident support from the public,
Oregon’s new plan for the administration of state supported higher
education went into effect July 1 under the leadership of the board o f
education consisting of nine men appointed by Governor I. L. Patterson.
This board, with the assistance of a full time executive secretary, now
''as full charge of the affairs of Oregon State college at Corvallis, th*
University of Oregon at F.ugene, the Oregon Normal School at Mon­
mouth, the Southern Oregon Normal at Ashland, and the Eastern
Oregon Normal at LaGrande.
The board lias been empowered to conduct an impartial survey of
all the institutions to determine their needs and most effective organiza­
tion, after which it may allocate the total funds appropriated for higher
education as it sees fit. For the first year there is to be no change in
the present ratio of distribution.
