ADMINISTRATION D felt W. Jmmkmi Dean of Women To students and alumni, a collese annual holds in tangible form many memories of college days. Pictures of the campus and its buildings, of faculty members, group and individual pictures of classmates afford pleasure at commencement and revive memories later. The thing so important today will often disappear as a triviality tomorrow; while the little thing today may assume gigantic proportions as an element in making a fine character or its opposite. It is my wish for the class of 1932 that Volume XXVI of the Oregon State college Beaver may be filled to repletion with happy memories. (Mrs.) K. W. Jameson Dean of Men The appearance of the college yearbook marks the end of college life for the majority of another senior class. Big questions force themselves on these seniors. Some of them are: Has college equipped me to make a living? Has college experience prepared me to live? Have I learned to work with others? Have I made myself familiar with the better things in life, as art and music? Have I been able to win lifelong friends? Most of all, have I learned to know myself and to meet the trials of life without self-pity, and to use these experiences to help others? If so, college has been very much worth while. Dean U. G. Dubach

 Of. W J. Ktit. President of if» Col!t»« We are passing through a period that is testing the mettle of men in much the same way as did the World war. Lacking the spectacular elements of the war, the widespread business depression, with its consequent unemployment and human distress, is making its appeal to us as directly as did the dire necessities of the war. As members of a state and national college, we cannot, if we have a sound philosophy of life, be oblivious to foreclosed mortgages and abandoned farms, to inactive sawmills and silent foundries, and above all, to bread lines and famished children. We can do something, both directly and indirectly, in response to the sympathy and comradeship the situation demands of us. We can share from day to day what we have, however limited it may be, with others who have less,- and we can make resolute preparation, here and now, to master those principles of science and economics that will enable us in the future to help solve problems of production, plant and animal diseases, pest control, nutrition, engineering, and human health. Just as during the early period of the war, youths were admonished to continue in college as a patriotic duty, m preparation for improved service, so in the present situation, they are advised to pursue their studies By the efforts of penetrating and consecrated students of today, will the and the benefits enriched and broadcast. W. J. KERR to as advanced a stage as possible burdens of tomorrow be lightenet 14. —

Before the new school was originated Dr. Langton had been head of the men's physical education department. Ava B. Milam has been dean of the school of home economics since 1911. Oregon State was the first college west of the Mississippi to offer training in this field. The work was started by Dr. Margaret Snell in 1889. Colonel William H. Patterson has served as commandant of the school’s cadets since 1930. Military training at Oregon State began in 1872. The Reserve Officers' Training Corps was established on its present basis in 1919, and it is now the largest in the Pacific Northwest. George W. Peavy has been dean of forestry since the school was first organized in 1910. Courses had been offered in the subject during the four years before the department became a school. Harry S.

A department of pharmacy had been organized since 1898 although regular four-year work was not established until 1917. Many changes are contemplated in the deanship of the various schools of the campus, but as the Board of Higher Education is not definite on the movements at the time this book goes to press, it is not possible to record the new arrangements. Some of the schools will also be taken from the campus and others brought here to replace them. 16.
