Or K«'c W. D(«n of Wo .r. Dr. U. G. Dwb )i. Dc«n of M«n Dean of Men Limitations on available resources have important compensations despite the inconvenience. The effect depends on the individual involved. Some are prone to complain because hard times make denial necessary in customary pleasure. Others have developed untried and even unsuspected resources in self-entertainment. Some have found college impossible because they cannot enjoy the material things which can be bought only with money. Others have met the situation with more hard work, less common pleasures, more association with the great in science, literature, music, art, and religion. Some have permitted adversity to rob them of hope, respect for themselves and confidence in the future. To others adversity has given occasion to take their own measure, to develop new estimates of value and to tap resources, previously unknown, both within and beyond themselves. What happens depends on the individual involved. U. G. DUBACH, Dean. Dean of Women The 1933 edition of the Beaver brings to you many beautiful views of the campus. I think you will agree that nature has been very kind to this particular spot in Oregon. Man, too, has done his share in providing buildings especially designed to meet the needs for which they are erected and to add to the beauty of the entire campus. Far more important, however, than lawn and trees and vine-covered buildings are the faculty and students who are found here. If the instructors are men and women of character and worthy ideals they must of necessity impart to their students a subtle influence which will count for much more than facts and intellectual training in the men and women who take up, in their turn, the responsibilities of organized society. The spirit of the student body is another important element to be considered in the choice of a school. Oregon State college is a great school and holds a proud place among institutions of its kind throughout the whole country. This is true not because of the physical beauty of the campus, but because of the character of the men and women who are influential in establishing its policies and directing its destinies. The photograph is a symbol, but only a symbol, of the beauty and character of the subject. The far-reaching effectiveness of the student-faculty relationship must be sought in the lives of individuals. (Mrs.) K. W. JAMESON, Dean.

Pease The Dalles The State Board of Higher Education controls the normal schools, Oregon State college and the University and supersedes the individual boards which operated these schools until 1929 when the board was established by legislation. This group is attempting to simplify higher education in Oregon and eliminate duplication of courses on the various campuses. Curricula for each school are determined by the board, finances are handled to effect the greatest saving, and major executive problems come before it. Results of their efforts to eliminate duplication of courses have already become evident on the campus. The nine members of the board are appointed by the Governor with approval of the senate for a nine-year term. Recently Hon. Geo. B. McLeod, Portland, and Hon. C. A. Brand, Roseburg, were named by Governor Meier to replace Mr. Burch and Mr. Pease who resigned their positions on the state board. •22

W.Stlttf Deans of Schools Because of the many changes in the organization of the schools in the state and the specialization and combining of courses the number of deans on this campus has been reduced. Each dean and director is inter-institutional in function and held responsible for all work in his field wherever offered throughout the entire system. The resident instruction, research and extension staffs are on this campus under the direction of the head dean. Ava B. Milam, dean and director of the school of home economics, has been in her present position since 1911. Oregon State was the first school west of the Mississippi to specialize in this field, the work being started by Dr. Margaret Snell in 1889. Dean Milam resumed her work last fall after a year's leave of absence during which she traveled extensively in China and other important foreign countries. Earl L. Packard, dean and director of the school of science, came here from Eugene last fall. By action of the State Board of Higher Education work in science was centralized on the Oregon State campus. Instruction is given on both campuses but the major and graduate work is confined to Corvallis. George W. Peavy has been dean of forestry since the school was first organized in 1910. He is the senior dean and is chairman of the administrative council which is the governing body of the institution. 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. The school is one of the strong departments on the Oregon State campus. Dean Rogers directed the engineering experiment in 1920 and 1927. Carl W. Salser is now acting as dean of the school of education in the absence of Dean James R Jewell who came to Oregon State as dean in 1927 and who is now on the University of Oregon campus. Mr. Salser is assistant to the dean of education and an education professor. He is also head of the personnel and placement service. William A. Schoenfeld, dean of agriculture and director of the agricultural experiment station, came to Oregon State in 1931 to take the place of Dean A. B. Cordley, now dean emeritus. Before coming to the campus he was western representative of the Federal Farm board for two years and northwest representative of the United States department of agriculture for five years. The office of director of the experiment station was combined with that of the dean last year to fill the place left vacant by the resignation of Director James T. Jardine. Dr. Adolph Ziefle was made dean of the school of pharmacy in 1917 after coming to the Oregon State campus in 1914. A department of pharmacy was established in 1898 but the work was not organized as a school until 1917. The school of pharmacy is a member of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy. Work in this school is recognized by all state boards of pharmacy. «24
