Will Assist President Mills In Work
OF Re- organization
BANNER YEAR IS the PREDICTION
Indications Are That School ot
Forestry Will Have Rec
ord Attendance.

The School of Forestry feels
especially jubilant over the Sc
curing of the services of Prof.
E.S, Dixon of the Oregon agri-
culture college as professor of
mathematics nd physice.
Prof. Dixon was instructor in
college of agriculture and be-
sides being highly recommend
ed by his associates in the col
lege comes to the School of
Forestry finely equipped i n
Geological and mineralogical
line. He will at once on ar
rival here reorganize his de-
partment in line with the
general reorganization Pres.
Mills has instituted in the
School of Forestry and bring
the department of mathematics
and physics up to the college
standard. Besides the regular
work there will be opened a
course in surveying and road
building e leading to the diploma
in Forestry.
From all the indications now
at hand this will be a banner
year for the School of Forestry
as there have been many and
frequent inquiries concerning g
the new deDartments opened
up this year.
Prof. Dixon will also have
charge of the department OF
mems athletics and the boys
will certainly have to look up
to him as he is considerably y
over six feet in height and
heavy in proportion. Prof.
Dixon comes to the, schooishe.
companied by Mrs. Dixon and
we wish them the best of good
luck.
The faculty for the School OF
Forestry is now completed and
is as follows: Pres. Mills,
Prof. Dixon, Prof. Older, Miss
Failyer, Miss Thompson, Miss
Carr, who will have charge OF
the department of commercial
subjects. The genial superin-
tendent of grounds and build
ings, Mr.. Al Carlson, is back
and getting everything in good
shape for the arrival of the in
structors. His assistant Mr..
Steinmeyer, is also in evidence
and is as busy as ever. The
grounds are in splendid shape,
the rains of the last few weeks
having had a good effect on the
tree plantations and general
vegetation. A considerable
number of visitors come every
day and inspect the buildings
and grounds. The ladies are
welcome to the flowers.

ROMANCE OF THE FARM.

Three Institutions Have Made the ''ii-
err Wealthy. Wise and Comfortable.
The story of agricultural education
in America. like that of all science
can be traced page after page in the
great book Of evolution, and the amaZ-
ing developmentof the industry IN the
United States has been due to three
factors-first. the state agricultural COZ
Ieges: second. the national department
of agriculture; third. the farmers In
stitutes.
The American agricultural colleges
had their beginning in revolt against
the so called classical education, put II
was never intended, as their eminent
founder pointed out. that they should
be associates from broad and llDeral
university training Mr.. Justin S. Nor
rill, the author of the Magma Charta
of Higher Agricultural Educatloh'
more than once stated the real purpose
of his bill. 1T is perhaps needless TO
say that these colleges were not eStaD-
Iished or endowed for the sole purpose
of teaching agriculture. 1t was
liberal education that was proposed
Classical studies were not to be eX'
cluded and therefore must lie incIuo
ed"
The number of agricultural colleges
now established is sixty five; the pres
ent value of their permanent fuhdS
and equipment is S1O0OOO.OOO. n re-
cent census showed 73,Sl3 students
with 6,997 teachers.
The rise of the United States depart
ment of agriculture is romance OF
the last century. AS far back as the
year 1922 a strong effort was maze 10
transform the mall-some 200 acres
of land which surrounded the capitol
buildings-then practically barren
waste. into an experiment farm IN
which TO propagate new and rare
plants. But it was not until forty
years later that the United States de-
, partment of agriculture was erected
on the selfsame spot which had pre-
yiously been sought as an experiment
. farm
The alpha and omega of this great
organization is the practical applica
