MERGING OF
ALL SCHOOLS
IS ADVOCATED
SALEM, Ore., April 30. (UP)
T h a so-called "California
Plan," under which Oregon's
fire Institutions ot higher learn
ing would be consolidated as
one great university, with one
administration head, was ad
vocated by Dr. Arnold Bennett
Hall, prealdent of tha Universi
ty ot Oregon, la a report made
to the state board ot higher
education here -today.
. Toe -Calttarnla laa. Dr. Hall
said, would be preferable to tha
so-called Montana lan, ander
which the Institutions wotrid be
placed under- a chancellor, but
would retain their individual
indentities.
REDUCE EXPENSES
Considerable expense, brought
about at present by ' duplica
tion ot certain studies at several
of. the state's various Institu
tions, would be eliminated un
der the California plan. Pres
ident Hall said, as would fric
tion between heads of the vari
ous Institutions and 'the chancel
lor. He also declared that the
people of the state would be
drawn more solidly to tha sup
port of the one great Universi
ty of Orogon,
A greater flexibility . In the
development of joint committees
and exchanging of staffs to
meet peak loads also would be
obtained by this system, than
could possibly be gained under
the Montana plan, he declared.
FAVOKS MGRGKK
'For example.' rresmem
Hall pointed" out, -"There is a
great deal of elasticity between
the medical school in Portland
and the pre-medlcal work In
Eugene, much more than there Is
now between the Inftltutions at
Eugene and ' Corrallls. It all
were' parti of the University of
Oregon under a single aamin
Istratlon the same Intimate rela
tionships and elasticity ot admin
istration could exist between
the fira branches of the unll
versify. -
"In view or these general
conditions, - 1 believe that
consolidation ot the five Institu
tions into one institution, pre
ferably the University of Ore-
gon, .would enable the InstltU'
tion to be most effectively man
aged, would secure the largest
possible service for the taxpay
er's dolla-r, and would create an
Institution of greater, prestige
