1934 BEAVER M.U« ftcfccr Z«f Scko n ld Deans • Ava B. Milam, dean of the school of home economics is one of the best known members of the college faculty. She has traveled extensively, especially in the Orient, and has been visiting professor in four foreign universities as well as having established a school of home economics at Yenching university in Peiping, China. In 1911 Dean Milam took charge of the home economics work started here by Dr. Margaret Snell in 1889. • Work in the school of science is centered at Oregon State college under the direction of Dean Earl L. Packer, who came here from Eugene in the fall of 1932, when higher education was reorganized in the State of Oregon. Science curricula include work in general science, bacteriology, botany, physics, entomology, mathematics, chemistry, geology, zoology and courses leading to nursing education and medicine. Dean Packard's special interests lie in the field of paleontology and particularly in deciphering the history of ancient life of Oregon. • Adolph Ziefle, dean of pharmacy, is an enthusiastic promoter of the interest of his school. A department of pharmacy was established in 1898 and was organized into a regular school under Dean Ziefle in 1917. He is also secretary of the O.S.P.A. loan association. • William A. Schoenfeld was made dean and director of the school of agriculture and the agricultural experiment station in 1931. His broad experience in the universities of Wisconsin, Texas and Tennessee and Harvard; his wide travels in European countries as agricultural commissioner and his wide experience in government work have made him eminently qualified for this responsibility. Scientific agriculture in Oregon will advance under his capable leadership. 27 » o s c
