1934 BEAVER State Board of Higher Education • The State Board of Higher Education renders a service to our school which commands the deepest appreciation and utmost regard on the part of our student body. The good judgment and keen foresight of this group have marked them true leaders in the skillful manipulation of the major executive problems of higher education in Oregon. • Members of the board are appointed by the governor of the State with the approval of the Senate. One of their important decisions this year was the appointment of separate presidents here and on the University campus to work directly under the chancellor. W. L. Marks, President C. E- Brand, Vice-President B. F. Irvine, Treasurer F. E. Callister G. 8. McLeod Herman Oliver Mrs. Cornelia Marvin Pierce E. C.

Dean of Women - 1934 BEAVER; • What finer and more appropriate subject could students of an Oregon college choose as a symbol for their annual than roses? Roses!— one of nature’s most beautiful products which grow in such profusion in this State. Is there not a resemblance between them and the flower of our youth as we find them in our higher institutions? As Oregon products, these young men and women too should give freely of these powers which they have gained and in their turn beautify not only the cultivated centers of society, but the waste places wherever they may be found. Or. Km W. J«a«iOA. ol Wo-tn Dean of Men • So often this year all of us have heard that times are tough.’ We have been told, too, that tough times develop personalities. However, more likely tough times reveal personalities... that is, show up what has already developed. As long as times are easy, almost anyone can get by, whether in a game, or in classes, or in living. But let a hard game come, let one be called upon to pinch hit’, then whether or not he has trained readily shows up. The tough times, the crises, reveal the personality. We must remember that whether or not we have smooth sailing now, we may be assured of tough times, of crises, sometime. We are now getting ready what we will reveal then. Of. U G- Dwbach.

P««vy D «'bo»o Deans • It is fitting that a part of the Beaver be set aside for those who help to make the institution possible and who give it the character that makes up the Oregon State spirit. In the hope that students may become better acquainted with them than through news stories and general conversation, these pages are given to the deans and directors of the school. • George W. Peavy, dean of deans at Oregon State college and head of the school of forestry since its beginning in 1910, is well known to college students because of his interest in them. He is chairman of the administrative council and his appointment to the office of acting president of Oregon State has delighted both students and faculty. • R. H. Dearborn, head of the department of electrical engineering, was appointed acting dean of the school of engineering, in the fall of 1933 upon the resignation of Dean Harry S. Rogers. Well-known to the students of the various technical fields Dean Dearborn is doing his work well and is carrying on the high reputation of the Oregon State school of engineering. • Carl W. Salser, acting dean of education under Dean James R. Jewell on the University campus, came to Oregon State in 1929 and is assistant to the dean as well as professor of education. As head of the personnel and placement service he comes in close contact with and is known and liked by the students. • M. Elwood Smith, dean and director of lower division, joined the staff in 1915. Before the changes were made in the administration he served as dean of the school of basic arts and sciences. He is particularly well-known throughout the country for his work as director of the summer sessions. 26
