(( The school of Science at Oregon State is proud of its alumni and former staff members who are now serving the nation in scientific capacities both in the armed forces and in civilian research and production behind the lines. It looks forward to the day when these same men and women, returning after the war, will devote their energies to the advancing of the welfare of the nation in a great post-war program of reconstruction and reconversion of swords into plow-shares (( In addition to the highly-specialized education of scientists in the fields of bacteriology, botany, chemistry, entomology, geology, mathematics, physics and zoology, the school is responsible for the basic training in the above subjects, of the applied scientists’ in agriculture, business and industry, education, engineering, forestry, home economics, medicine, nursing and pharmacy. An education in these professional fields can be no stronger than the science foundation upon which it is built.
