The newest school on the campus was authorized by the State Board of Higher Education two years ago for the purpose of coordinating business administration with the industrial schools on the campus. It is offered for those students who wish to enter business from the industrial administrative viewpoint. By enrolling in the school of Business and Industry, a student learns business administration as well as the basic principles of an industry, such as engineering, agriculture, forestry, mines and fisheries, when minor-ing in one of these other fields. Thus he becomes equipped to enter a technical field of business with training in the administrative functions of the industry. (( The school of Business and Industry includes the departments of business administration, secretarial science and commercial education. All students in the Business and Industry major follow a general lower-division curriculum for the first two years, and are then prepared for specialized work in their major school. (( In the department of secretarial science, provisions are made for a four-year curriculum designed for those students who wish to prepare for responsible secretarial positions, office managers, assistants to public officials and research assistants. (( For students preparing to teach commercial education in the secondary schools, the school of Business and Industry offers major and Robin,on ciarifie, «n accounting problem, minor work.

While the school of Agriculture has suffered a reduced enrollment during the war period to about 10 per cent of its former number, plans are being formulated to accommodate a postwar enrollment that is expected to be substantially higher than at any time in the past. New students and particularly returning veterans will be interested in the post-war building program for Oregon State announced this year by the Board of Higher Education. This includes several new buildings for the field departments in Agriculture. (( Since agriculture is one of the largest industries in Oregon, the field presents unlimited opportunities for students trained in methods of scientific farming. The plant division includes work in horticulture, soils, farm crops and food industries. In food industries alone, there is an increasing demand for men trained in food processing, including canning, dehydration and freezing methods. (( In the animal division of the school, students receive specialized training in dairying, animal husbandry, poultry, fish and game and veterinary medicine. There are many opportunities offered in these fields, both in Oregon and through employment with the Federal agencies. Agriculture economics and farm management offer training for students in business and managerial phases of farming. Operating efficiency, land appraisal, farm credits and the very important field of marketing are emphasized. (( Agriculture engineering trains students in farm structure, rural electrification and in general, mechanization of agriculture.
