Di.U'G- hA« K ' AS we are privileged to share in a great college enter- prise while learning what will help us to earn a better living, are we at the same time learning what it takes to live in a confused world? Are we acquiring an understanding of our neighbors' problems, nationally and internationally? Are we schooling ourselves in sympathy broad enough to take these neighbors into vital consideration? Do we have in the making the controls necessary to function in this involved situation where all that everyone does affects everyone else? If so, the years just ahead afford the rarest opportunity for big achievement and genuine personal satisfaction. ’ THE present century has brought forth discoveries which are contributing to the enlargement of human lives. Not least among these is the advancement in photography. Improved developments have made it possible to hold fast the most evanescent changes in cloud, the swift movement of the bird, and the unexpected sparkle of the eye. The present Beaver editors have made use of this art and are offering a book filled with the beautiful and the unusual on campus and in classroom. Owners of this volume will have a treasure which in years to come will help them see the beauty of things they may have taken for granted, if Browning spoke truly when he put into the mouth of Fra Lippo Lippi these words: For don't you mark? We re made so that we love first when we see them painted, things we have passed a hundred times.' ” DEAN OF MEN DEAN OF WOMEN

President Peavy attends the Horticulture exhibits. Dean Schoenfeld examines plants in the sreenhouses. SINCE early days when OSC was known as Corvallis college, courses have been offered in agriculture. The first work comprised a two-year curriculum, and the courses, mainly in the chemistry department, included soil analysis, fertility, drainage, stock raising, fruit culture and farm buildings. This was the curriculum in 1869. Established as a school in 1908 under the leadership of Dr. Arthur B. Cordley, the School of Agriculture now includes main divisions of animal industries, plant industries, and agricultural economics. A more recent addition is the department of fish and game management. Members of the school are also members of the Agricultural club. As an annual feature, the club sponsors the Ag Club smoker. In a rural atmosphere, students compete in such contests as hog tying, steer riding, wrestling and greased pig catching. The club also publishes the Agricultural Journal, a publication devoted to the interests of the school of agriculture and the agricultural industry. L RECOGNIZED as a national leader in the development of agriculture, William Alfred Schoenfeld holds degrees in agriculture from Wisconsin and in business administration from Harvard. On the staff of Oregon State since 1931, he has the titles of Dean of the School of Agriculture, Director of the Agricultural Experiment Station, and Director of Federal Co-operative Extension. Schoenfeld has served on the staffs at Wisconsin, Texas University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He has acted as Secretary of the Wisconsin Experiment Station and as acting director of extension in Tennessee. SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE
