OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis, Dec. 16.-Klamath
Falls is represented by 18 of the
2006 students now registered at the
college. This Is new mark in to-
! tai enrollment--an increase of So
per cent over the figure for the cor
responding period in 1867, the
last normal school year. Despite the
! fact that class, laboratory and Of
fee room has been at such a pre-
MUM that every available space in
basement and garret has been util-
lied, a high standard of efficiency
has been maintained.
Many students attending o. A. c..
were graduated from the Klamath
County high school. Among them
1 are Allan w. McComb, senior in ag-
riculture, and cadet colonel for the
r. o. r. c.; McComb's sister, Miss

While war conditions brought
about an increased interests in agri-
culture mad caused unprecedented
inhdx Of students in the school of
agsiculture-total registration T25---
engineering in its various branches
leads in popularity at the college.
Students studying civil. electrical,
mechanical, mining and highway en-
gineering number $40. Forestry and
logging engineering. is represented
byi77 and industrial arts by rs stu
dents. Farm mechanics in the
school Of agriculture, which has had
an abnormal growth, owes its pres
ent popularity to heavy. purchases
of tractors, and other power machin-
cry in the last two years By farmers
of the northwest.
An increase of approximately 160
per cent in engineering enrolment
over registration, in the fall of 1915
is largely attributable to the fact
that the importance of engineering
in winning the world war is fully
realized, points out Dean G. A. Co
veil of the school of engineering.
The greatest need in Oreon is for
highway engineers. Because of the
elaborate road building program the
demand is not supplied. Graduates
in other fields of engineering also
have no difficulty in obtaining re-
sponsble positions.
Gain in number of students is
shown in practically every division
and department. The school of COM
merce has 543, home economics 497,
pharmacy 154, school of mines SO.
In the school of music 80 are regis
tered in the full four-year course,
while 100, who are majoring in 9TH
er branches, take incidental instruc-
tion in music.
The high quality Of work done
this year is noticeable. Most of the
1905 students are high school grad
yates or have been transferred from
other colleges CT universities. In
crease in faculty has been necessi-
tated by heavy enrolment in some
departments, and no pains have been
spared in obtaining the best talent
available. Men lead women 1910
to 634. The freshman class num-
bers 1901.
