On the great loom of time, will her men as warp anti her resources as woof, fast growing Oregon, soon to enter her second century of statehood, seems destined to contribute vastly to the rich fabric of human advance. Men of pioneering spirit, as symbolized by the statue atop the capitol building—lands and forests and power potentialities unsurpassed; these, webbed through the years, have produced a noble and expanding culture. Oregon life retains the vigor of territorial days and today reflects the wealth and beauty of the old “Oregon country.” This land is home centered. Its economy finds its ultimate expression in providing for home and family, the basic social unit. Bigger returns for agriculture, for forestry, for industry, make possible better home life and more careful safeguarding of its values. The women in the homes of Oregon, therefore, are in a key position in its economy. They nurture character. They link the generations, each to each. A major factor in the program of Oregon State college is the School of Home Economics which weaves the arts and sciences of family living into a pattern of happiness and well being. 3
