Dean Salser JAMES R. Jewell has served as Dean of Education at Oregon State since 1927, when he came to Oregon from the University of Arkansas. When the new higher education system was set up, he was made Dean at both the University and the State college with residence at Eugene. Carl W. Salser is Assistant Dean on the Oregon State campus. THE School of Education, centered in Shepard Hall, grants professional degrees of E.M. and Ed.D. in addition to M.A., M.S., B.A. and B.S. degrees. Students in the graduating class of 41 who expect to teach are required to have a fifth year or 45 additional credits more than is now necessary for teaching. Credit increase will be advanced one term each year starting with the class of ’39. This change was effected by a law recently enacted by the State legislature. This year's graduating class was so large that Albany and Philomath schools were used in addition to Corvallis high schools for practice teaching, enabling students to carry out classroom theories.

THE major change in the School of Engineering in recent years has been the very large increase in enrollment in the several departments, from a total of 447 in 1933-34 to 856 in 1937-38. Schools of engineering in the United States have been recently subjected to an exhaustive survey of their personnel, courses and equipment by the Engineers’ Council for Professional Development. The Oregon State engineering school has been accredited by this national organization, so that our graduates have equal standing with those of all engineering colleges of high rank in the country. The engineering school conducts tests of methods and materials for the hydro-electric development at Bonneville, and has cooperated with the State Highway Commission on road materials, studies of stream pollution and of radio interference. Dean Dearborn R. H. Dearborn became Dean of the School of Engineering in 1934. Prior to that time he rendered continuous service as department head in electrical engineering, first at the University of Oregon, where he founded the department in 1901, and later at Oregon State college after all engineering work was centered on this campus in 1914 by the board of higher curricula.

Dressmaking becomes complicated at times. SINCE its beginning at Oregon State college in 1889, the School of Home Economics has grown until it numbers over 600 women students among its majors, and has succeeded in attaining a national reputation for its excellent instruction staff and extension and research specialists, each distinguished in a certain field of work. All phases of home and family life, as well as study in the professional home economics fields, are included in the curricula offered. Work is organized under the departments of clothing, textiles and related arts; foods and nutrition; household administration, including child development; institution economics; and home economics education. A far call from the old administration building and later the basement of Waldo hall are the modernly equipped buildings now in constant use by the department. Buildings include two units of the three-unit home economics building, two home management houses, a nursery school and a tearoom in the Memorial Union Building. Courses in home economics are offered during the summer session. NOW in her 27th year at Oregon State college, Dean Milam has been in charge of the School of Home Economics since 1917. With the aim of making the school serve directly or indirectly every Oregon home, she has succeeded notably in inspiring youthful home economists by her own fine record and sympathetic interest. Dean Milam and Miss Alma C. Fritchoff, head of clothing, textiles and related arts, personally conducted a tour to the Orient last summer for the study of home life in China, Japan and Manchuria Twenty-two persons from several states participated in the tour, sponsored by Oregon State.
