The school developed from the department of industrial pedagogy after the enactment of the Smith-Hughes act in 1918. Dr. Clair V. Langton assumed the duties of dean of health and physical education in 1928 when the health service and physical education departments were united into one school. 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. Rogers, after having served for seven years as head of the department of civil engineering, became dean of the school of engineering in 1927. Dean Rogers directed the engineering experiment station in 1920 and 1927. Dr. M. Ellwood Smith has been dean of the school of basic arts and sciences since it was organized in 1918.

Dr. Adolph Ziefle became affiliated with the college in 1914 and was made dean of the school of pharmacy in 1917. 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.

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

ADMINISTRATION 8«» ll Hoyt Cor flty S So ft! Id Dean of Commerce Dr. Harrison V. Hoyt, dean of commerce, came to Oregon State this year filling the vacancy left by Dean J. A. Bexell, with a foundation of academic, practical business and school administration experiences. He graduated from Purdue university. After his graduation from Harvard Graduate School of Business he was associated with a New York firm of industrial and production engineers. He holds the distinction of having the first and only doctorate awarded by the Stanford Graduate School of Business. He was connected with several other large industrial concerns before coming to the college. Dean Hoyt has served in various capacities for these firms including such positions as business organization specialist, personnel director and counselor, systems and accounting advisor and administrative supervisor. This type of experience fits him admirably for his position here as dean of the school of commerce since he is head of the department of business organization and management as well as administrator of the other departments including economics and sociology, secretarial training, political science and commercial education. The new dean comes to the college with the highest recommendations from his former associates, with special commendation from Dean W. E. Hotchkiss of Stanford university. Dean of Agriculture Dr. William A. Schoenfeld, dean of agriculture and director of the agricultural experiment station, came to the college in 1931, taking the place left by Dean A. B. Cordley. His past training and experience began in 1910, including teaching, research and extension service work with emphasis on the economic or business side of agriculture. At the University of Wisconsin he obtained his bachelor of science degree in agriculture in 1914. His master's and doctor's degrees were obtained at the Harvard Graduate School of Business. He also spent some time as a student at the University of Berlin. Dr. Schoenfeld has a varied experience in the many phases of the nation-wide agricultural situation. He was for two years western representative of the federal farm board and for five years northwest representative of the United States department of agriculture, with headquarters at Portland. Thus he is able to combine a national point of view with an intimate knowledge of conditions and problems in Oregon. The office of director of the experiment station was combined with that of head of the school of agriculture for the first time this year, as a result of the resignation of Director James T. Jardine, who is now chief of the office of experiment stations at Washington, D. C. .17 J
